At the conclusion of the hearing, the trial court found the parties' agreements were in the best interests of the children. The trial court also found certain provisions of the standard possession order in the family code would "be unworkable or inappropriate in this case, and are not in the best interest of the children." Although the trial court granted Mortberg additional possession of the children, Mortberg was not granted the expanded standard possession heseveral boyfriends at the same time.

("Temple-Inland"). Invest Almaz contends that the district court abused its discretion by failing to order restitution of funds retained by Temple-Inland after the deal collapsed and by erroneously granting Temple-Inland's motion for judgment as a matter of law on Invest Almaz's fraud claims. Invest Almaz also contends that the jury was not properly instructed on a claim that, in the course of these events, Temple-Inland aided and abetted Invest Almaz's joint venture partner, Pathex International Ltd. ("Pathex"), in breaching its fiduciary duty to Invest Almaz. We affirm.

I.

2
Invest Almaz, a subsidiary of a Russian company engaged in diamond mining, was formed for the purpose of investing the pensions and savings of the parent company's employees. In early 1993, Invest Almaz became interested in developing a plant to manufacture orientedstrand board ("OSB"), a wood and wafer resin board used as a construction material. Invest Almaz's intent was to build housing for the parent company's retired employees and also to sell OSB for needed hard currency in the export market. After considering the possibility of building a new plant for this purpose, Invest Almaz came to the conclusion that it would be more cost-effective to purchase the equipment from an existing plant in North America and have it transported back to Russia.

3
With this in mind, Invest Almaz entered into discussions with Pathex,1 a Canadian corporation with expertise in the field, regarding the formation of a joint venture to effectuate these plans. Under the arrangement contemplated by the parties, Pathex would select and procure suitable equipment from an existing


plant, transport it to Russia, reconstruct and upgrade the equipment once transported, and maintain it thereafter. Invest Almaz would provide the capital, as well as the land, labor and materials in Russia. During these negotiations, Pathex allegedly represented that acquiring suitable OSB manufacturing equipment would cost more than $17 million.2

4
Unbeknownst to Invest Almaz, Pathex was at this time already engaged in negotiating an option to purchase a Claremont, New Hampshire OSB plant from Temple-Inland (a Delaware corporation) for $5 million. The plant was complete and operational, although it had been closed since 1988 because it could not compete with newer plants in the North American market. The option was structured to allow Pathex access to the plant and the site prior to deciding whether to go forward withthe transaction. In addition, the option gave Pathex the choice of purchasing the entire facility, including real estate,3 or only the equipment and buildings.4 Although the option agreement was finalized on August 5, 1993 -- before the joint-venture agreement between Invest Almaz and Pathex was signed -- its contents were never disclosed to Invest Almaz.

5
In late September 1993, representatives from Invest Almaz traveled to Canada to finalize the joint-venture agreement with Pathex. Pathex arranged with Temple-Inland for Invest Almaz's representatives to tour the Claremont OSB plant during their stay, and Vladimir Semkin and Viktor Tikhov, both engineers employed by Invest Almaz, were shown the facility by Temple-Inland employee Earl Taylor. Semkin and Tikhov were given written information about the plant and afforded considerable opportunity to inspect the plant's


the $2.3 million in payments already made by Pathex. In addition, each party gave up any claims it might have had against the other arising out of the Asset Purchase Agreement and associated documents. The Mutual Release was executed by Pathex on December 13, 1994. Although Invest Almaz was informed at the time that Pathex was "terminating" the project, Invest Almaz was not involved in the discussions concerning the Mutual Release and was never informed of its terms.

11
In late 1996, attorneys representing Invest Almaz contacted Pathex in an effort to determine what had become of the funds Invest Almaz contributed to the joint venture. Shortly thereafter, however, Pathex filed for bankruptcy. Invest Almaz commenced the present action against Temple-Inland in August 1997, filing a complaint that initially includedthe proceedings. No allegations of affirmative fraud were included in Invest Almaz's second amended complaint, nor was this theory of the case identified in Invest Almaz's proposed jury instructions, final pretrial statement, or opening argument at trial. Even when Invest Almaz finally asserted the claims at the close of plaintiff's evidence, it did not do so directly. Instead, Invest Almaz incorporated the claims into its opposition to Temple-Inland's motion for judgment as a matter of law, accusing Temple-Inland of "misreading Invest Almaz's theory of the case" by "ignoring" the affirmative misrepresentation claims.

34
At the hearing on its motion, Temple-Inland commented that the claims had never been pleaded, even though, under the Rules, they needed to be pleaded "with some specificity." Temple-Inland did not, however, expressly contend that the inclusion


part to long-term changes in the regulatory regime and market in which it operated, including competition from newer, larger OSB plants able to operate with lower costs; and that Temple-Inland closed the plant because it was losing money.

67
Invest Almaz also introduced evidence generally tending to show that information of this kind was not revealed to Pathex or Invest Almaz by Temple-Inland.28 However, on this point Invest Almaz's position was contradicted in part by an admission by Vladimir Semkin. In his videotaped deposition, Semkin testified that he was told by Earl Taylor that the plant was closed because it was "loss-making" and "could not make a profit," a fact that Taylor allegedly attributed to increases in the price of obtaining timber. In addition, the record indicates that Taylor inconcealed. It is apparent from Invest Almaz's allegations, and, indeed, conceded in Invest Almaz's brief, that the term "obsolescence" is meant to refer only to the alleged inability of the equipment to produce OSB profitably, not to any defects affecting its operation. See Pl's. Br. at 48 ("The equipment was not obsolete in the sense that it did not work; it was obsolete in the sense that it was economically inefficient and could not make OSB at a competitive price."). Furthermore, as Invest Almaz's evidence regarding obsolescence indicates, the unprofitability of the plant was the result of circumstances -- such as increased energy and pollution control costs and the development of larger, more cost-effective plants -- external to the equipment itself. Invest Almaz has identified no precedent, and


mislead the Russian representatives by his statement, or that anyone else at Temple-Inland knew what Taylor told Invest Almaz.31

79
In addition, we do not believe that a reasonable jury could find on this record "clear and convincing" evidence that the information Temple-Inland arguably came under a duty to disclose was material to Invest Almaz. As Zepavalov's deposition testimony plainly states, Invest Almaz's concern was with the ability of the equipment to operate profitably in its new location. Yet none of the reasons for the plant's unprofitability introduced as part of Invest Almaz's case are ultimately germane to that question. Zepavalov specifically acknowledges that the costs of production, which were the primary reasons for the plant's unprofitability in the United States, would be completely different in Russia.

By The Maritime Executive 06-09-2014 04:16:00

Egypt has transferred the assets of the Al-Arish port in the Sinai Peninsula from a civilian-run agency to the armed forces, citing national security reasons in an area where militant attacks have increased in the past year.

The decision was made last week by then-interim President Adly Mansour but only announced on Monday, a day after former army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi - who ousted Islamist President Mohamed Mursi last July - was sworn in as the new head of state.

The move seemed likely to reinforce critics' concern that Egypt is returning to strongman rule three years after a popular uprising raised hopes of democracy free from military influence.

An addendum to Thursday's official gazette declared that the state's assets


in the Al-Arish port and its administration were transferred to the ministry of defense and war production from the Port Authority of Port Said.

"Egypt's national security requires that the port be under the control of the armed forces due to its sensitive location," the head of the Port Authority of Port Said, retired major general Ahmed Sharaf, told Reuters by telephone.

The military could not be reached immediately for comment on the port, a valuable installation in the Sinai Peninsula amid the militant attacks on police and soldiers there.

Sharaf said the port's employees were working as usual but said he did not know if the armed forces would supplement the workers or replace them.

Sisi won the loyalty of state institutions and the media after toppling Mursi, and much ofhis popularity stems from his roots in the military, whose decades-long pattern of rule was interrupted by the Muslim Brotherhood leader's year in office.

But his election also triggered fears among some Egyptians that the military, with a budget shielded from public oversight and a wide-ranging business empire, would continue its dominant role in the country's economic and political life.

Sisi said during his campaign that he would not hesitate to use the military to help rebuild an economy racked by three years of political turmoil, which has driven away foreign investors and tourists.

An army-linked company run by a retired army officer was named on Saturday as the contractor for the first phase of a UAE-funded project to build 25 wheat silos in Egypt.

Testament is what people do when they refuse to admit God killed a massive number of innocent Egyptian boys, and ordered the genocide of the people living in the land of Canaan.

That was a matter of vengeance. Elohim took revenge from the Egyptians who had killed the male infants of the Israelites and from the Amalekites, who had attacked the Israelites while they were vulnerable in the wilderness.

When the bishop of Limassol in Cyprus, who is considered a future saint, was asked if the U.S. was to blame for what happened to Cyprus, he said 'no'. The only people that were to blame were the Cypriots, because of their sins. This doesn't mean that God ordered it, only that God allowed it. In other words if the peoplehave contributed to at least 14% of the world's bird, mammal, and reptile extinction. That study's authors also estimated that feral island cats were the primary threat to 8% of all critically endangered birds, mammals, and reptiles on earth.

Some experts, including the authors of this study, are critical of current tactics to control feral cat populations, including Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), a project aimed at capturing and sterilizing feral cats before returning them to the wild, where they can continue to prey on wildlife.

A 2010 letter published in the journal Conservation Biology argued that TNR programs afford wild animals "second-class treatment at the expense of cats." The authors argue that it is conservation biologists' responsibility to advocate for laws making it illegal to maintain cat colonies on public lands. They


also call for a more open dialogue between conservationists and veterinarians, animal shelters, and other pet advocates.

Others have been even more abrupt in their calls to action. Last January, a prominent New Zealand economist upset the international cat community when he called for the eradication of cats, citing their threat to the country's unique wildlife.

Animal activists rightly criticized the plan. The author of this post does not condone harm to any animals.Trump Urges Followers to Watch Fox News Host Who Demands Paul Ryan Resign

Judge Jeanine Pirro opened her show demanding that Ryan step down for his "failure" over Trump's health care bill.

President Donald Trump tweeted a message on Saturday encouraging his followers to watch Judge Jeanine Pirro's show, who opened her show immediately demanding that House Speaker Paul Ryan resign.

The Fox News host kicked off her show, Justice With Judge Jeanine, with her "Opening Statement" segment, which called for Ryan to step down after the GOP's health care bill failed to gain enough votes to continue.

"Paul Ryan needs to step down as speaker of the House," said Pirro, beginning her show. "The reason? He failed to deliver the votes on his health care bill, the one trumpeted to repeal


and replace Obamacare. The one that he had seven years to work on. The one he hid under lock and key in the basement of Congress. The one that had to be pulled to prevent the embarrassment of not having enough votes to pass."

"But this bill didn't just fail," she continued. "It failed when Republicans had the House, the Senate, the White House."

The network host assured viewers that she hasn't spoken with Trump on the subject, but it seemed as though the president knew she would cover the issue on her show when Trump tweeted earlier in the day to "watch @JudgeJeanine on @FoxNews tonight at 9:00 P.M."

"Americans elected the one man they believed could do it: a complete outsider beholden to no one but them," said PirroThe Lewiston Police Department provides twenty-four hour, seven day a week coverage to the Town and Village of Lewiston consisting of sixty-four square miles.

NCO attempted to collect on the discharged debt and also reported the debt to credit card reporting agencies, resulting in adverse credit reports for the appellant.
On April 10, 2000, appellant filed a complaint in this court against NCO; Michael Farris, President of NCO; First Union; and Ken Thompson, President of First Union, alleging numerous causes of action based on the actions of these companies with respect to the discharged debt. On April 19, 2001, appellant filed an amended complaint, and on May 19, 2001, appellant filed a second amended complaint. On July 10, 2000, appellant filed a notice of dismissal withrespect to Michael Farris and Ken Thompson. By order dated December 20, 2000, United States District Judge Raymond A.

Britain is deploying another Royal Navy warship to the Persian Gulf, and it's a grave signal.

But the warship now on its way, HMS Duncan, is a Type-45 destroyer. That reflects Britain's increasing expectation of a firefight with Iranian forces. We can say this with confidence for two reasons.

First, because the Royal Navy's Type-45 or Daring-class vessels are far more powerful than the Type-23 destroyer, HMS Montrose, which HMS Duncan is moving to support. The most capable air-defense destroyers in the world, the Daring-class are designed to operate against simultaneous swarms of attack aircraft, drones, and missiles.

In the highly contested environment of the Persian Gulf, and in the context of Iran's tactical focus on missile, drone, and fast boat swarming attacks, Daring-class vessels are very useful. HMS Duncan's deploymentup with the rest of the group and as we were preparing to leave we experienced our first crazy change in wearger as a tropical thunderstorm unleased on Singapore. We caught the shuttle bus to the trainstation, the train ride into the city was pretty uneventful, but the public transport system is amazingly clean and punctual.

We got off at Raffles station and walked along Marina Bay to look across to the Marina Bay Sands, the arcitechture of the building was amazing and it has a very commanding presence amongst the other skyscapers around it, it was very impressive. After we took photos of the bay it was about 12 pm, it was time for lunch, so we headed over to the Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands. I had


some beef Singapore fried noodles which were delicious, and then had a wander around the shopping complex which was full of designer shops.

Next on the agenda was to visit the Gardens by the Bay, walking toward the area you are greeted by lushious greenery and huge purple towers that look like they are from a futuristic movie.

There are two different domes at Garden by the Bay, one called the Flower dome, which was the first one that the group went in. The Flower Dome was slightly cooler and less humid than outside which was good, the Flower Dome was okay, it was like most other gardens basically. The other garden is called the Cloud Dome, which was much more interesting than the Flower Dome. When entering the CloudDome younare greeted by a waterfall/cliff face that is 35 metres high, and covered in tropical plants. There was a skywalk around the top of the waterfall which gave a nice perspective of the whole garden area.

After the Cloud Dome we were free to go off on our own, and I went back to the shopping centre and then went back to my room.

that the Packers will blow out the Panthers.

Eagles at Falcons, September 18.

Last year, when Mike Vick’s former team came to Philly, Vick was nursing a nasty case of broken ribs. When the two teams seemed to be on track to meet in the postseason at the Georgia Dome, the Packers threw a wrench into those plans, throwing each team out of the playoffs.

This year, Vick should be healthy for his return to Atlanta, where he was welcomed with open arms in 2009 — and where he threw for a touchdown and scored once on the ground in a 34-7 romp.

The fans may not be as supportive two seasons later, given that the Falcons are hoping not only to have a great regular season but also a great postseason.Blatter is bidding for a a FOURTH term, he has been there since 1998. Id he was a president of a coutnry he would have been labeeled a dictator for haning on for power so long. Sadly I think he has too much influence for anyone to challenge him.

Mohamed Bin Hammam has been confirmed as Sepp Blatter's only challenger in Fifa's presidential election on 1 June.

The 61-year-old Asian confederation chief announced in March that he would stand against Blatter, 75, as head of football's world governing body.

Blatter has been president of Fifa since 1998 and recently pledged that if re-elected for a fourth term, he would step down at its conclusion in 2015.

The president will be elected at a Fifa Congress, which starts on 31 May.

Fifa had set


a deadline of 1 April for all candidates to be nominated and the winner will require a two-thirds majority of the valid votes cast in the first ballot, or a majority in the second.

Bin Hammam is Blatter's first challenger since African confederation president Issa Hayatou took him on - and lost by 139 votes to 56 - in 2002.

There are 208 Fifa voters for this contest and the Qatari, who played an influential role in securing the 2022 World Cup for his home nation, rates his chances of becoming the the ninth president of Fifa and the first from Asia as "50-50".

Among his many plans for Fifa are supporting the introduction of goal-line technology, introducing two more officials behind the goals, increasing the body's decision-making power and spreadingits wealth.

Bin Hammam, who made his fortune in construction, became president of Qatar club Al Rayyan when he was 24 before taking on roles as the head of Qatar's volleyball and table tennis bodies.

He took command of the Qatar Football Association in 1992 and four years later was elected by the AFC to Fifa's executive.

American journalist Grant Wahl, who announced in February that he intended to stand for presidency as a "people's candidate", did not take his application further.

Is it a case that he dislikes England or that he has to be "fair and balanced"? Just asking really. Yesterday on FOX news somebody was slating the UN because it "hardly ever sides with the US". That channels only Liberal voice said it isn't supposed to side with the

SEE ALSO: Five Breakout Prospects | CHAT: Ask A Question

As the college baseball season nears, scouting directors and their staffs are preparing their follow lists, holding draft meetings, and putting together preliminary ideas on identifying the top prospects in the nation. For the prospects themselves, this spring could be looked at, in some ways, as the final leg of their lengthy evaluation process. Scouting departments cast a wide net this time of year and consider all possibilities from all corners of the draft landscape.

With the college game as strong as ever, there’s also as much depth of professional caliber talent available to scouts as we’ve seen in recent years. This is not to saySecretary of State Mike Pompeo said the Trump administration is not counting on North Korean leader Kim Jong Un being completely candid in the stalled negotiations to denuclearize the Korean peninsula — a long-sought and elusive foreign policy goal of American administrations since the 1950s.

"We don't expect chairman Kim to tell us the truth. That's why we're going to verify any denuclearization that takes place, that's why we will ensure that we see actual on-the-ground outcomes," Pompeo said "Face the Nation" Sunday. "We're not going to take anyone's word for it."

America's chief diplomat was responding to comments made by Cindy Warmbier, the mother of Otto Warmbier, the American college student who died after being imprisoned by the North Korean government for more than a year. She recently called


the Trump administration's diplomatic efforts with North Korea a "charade," saying Kim's authoritarian regime represents "evil."

Pressed if he was still the administration's lead negotiator in talks with North Korean officials, Pompeo replied, "So far as I know."

In late February, President Trump and Kim held their second summit in Vietnam to try broker a deal to eventually dismantle North Korea's nuclear stockpile — but the high-profile meeting produced no fruitful results.

In a bold move on Friday, North Korea launched several short-range missiles which landed in the Sea of Japan, according to the South Korean government. The White House said it was monitoring the situation "as necessary."

Despite the recent launches, Pompeo said Sunday "real progress" has been made on the North Korean front during Mr. Trump's tenure. He noted thatpersonal jetpacks. You call this progress?

Congress declared that the United States would defend the two whistleblowers against a libel suit filed against them by Hopkins, resolving that "the reasonable expences of defending the said suit be defrayed by the United States" and terminated the employment of Hopkins, who had misconducted himself.

False Claims Act

The American Civil War (1861–1865) was marked by fraud on all levels, especially with regard to Union War Department contracts.  Some say the


False Claims Act came about because of bad mules.  During the Civil War, unscrupulous contractors sold the Union Army, among other things, decrepit horses and mules in ill health, faulty rifles and ammunition, and rancid rations and provisions.

The False Claims Act (, also called the "Lincoln Law") is an American federal law that was passed on March 2, 1863 during the American Civil War, that allows people who are not affiliated with the government to file actions against federal contractors claiming fraud against the government. The law represented an effort by the government to respond to entrenched fraud in cases where the official Justice Department was reluctant to prosecute fraud cases. Importantly, a reward was offered in what is called the "qui tam" provision, which permits citizensbecause they lacked the correct documentation. Bell also discovered that there was improper testing of oxygen patients. Bell instructed her billing department to "shut down the billing." Compliance officers came to Texarkana. When they arrived, Bell told them the results of her audit. They informed Bell that they knew that they were significantly out of compliance. Bell told them that she "was not going to Medicare prison for ROTECH," and refused to restart the billing. Bell was told that ROTECH was in the middle of a settlement agreement with the Government and could not do anything that might put up a "red flag."  ROTECH paid $2 million to settle civil charges that it engaged in false or fraudulent conduct in billing Medicare for durable medical equipment. The

Chillingham Castle is widely regarded as one of the most haunted places in the country with hundreds of paranormal events being recorded. Dating back over 800 years, this castle was built for one purpose and one purpose alone, killing.

In the heart of Northumberland the castle was the first line of defence, preventing the Scots getting over the border to invade England back in the days of William Wallace when the castle was ruled over by King Edward I (Edward Long shanks). It has a truly amazing, yet horrific history and that's why its one of the most haunted places on Earth.

The Dungeon is a very small room with markings scratched into the mortar where prisoners have kept count of how many days they have left to live. Theup is the Torture Chamber, nearly all of the torture implements are in perfect working order and each is as sick and deranged as the next. The floor is on a slope, this was so the blood could drain away down to one side of the room. For many thousands of Scots this will have been the last place they ever saw. The torturer here was a man called John Sage, he was a major celebrity in his day.

Before he was a torturer he was one of King Edward's best men in the battlefield, and had worked his way up to the rank of Lieutenant. Sage was injured one day whilst at battle, his leg was wounded and he couldn't fight anymore. Sage begged Long shanks to keep


him on in some capacity and he was given the role of castle torturer. Sage was a brutal man, he hated the Scots and he revelled in the role, even devising some devices of his own.

There is a boiling pot, gadgets for gouging eyes out, barrels full of spikes that would have had a prisoner tied in and rolled around until the flesh was ripped from the body and they died in agony, there are cages that would have been attached to a prisoners stomach and a starved rat would be put inside and the only way out for the rat was to eat his way out through the victim!

Some of the things the prisoners would have endured at the hands of this man are unimaginable. Sage torturedthat if he released the younger children they would return when they were older to seek revenge, so he took a small axe and went to the Edward room and hacked the children, some as young as one year old, to pieces. The axe can be seen today on the stair well. The Edward room is one of the most active rooms in the castle and people often say they see the chandelier hanging from the ceiling swinging without it being moved. The room has a foul smell and a strange atmosphere.

In the torture chamber there is also a torture rack, this particular device proved to be the undoing of John Sage, for Sage had a girlfriend Elizabeth Charlton, and one night they were having sex on the


rack when Sage started to strangle Elizabeth to heighten her sexual pleasure, unfortunately he took it too far and killed her. Elizabeth's father was a member of the Border Reivers, a group of tribal leaders, broken men and outlaws. They were not to be messed with, and of course they wanted Sage killed.

The Border Reivers were a very powerful organisation who commanded a vast, highly skilled and experienced fighting force. It is recorded that the Reivers met with Edward Long Shanks and instructed him that if he did not have Sage killed they would join forces with the Scots and launch an assault on Chillingham castle. This time the Scots would probably win due to their backing from the Border Reivers.

As Long Shanks was virtually penniless due tothe war against the Scots, he was forced to call for Sage to be hung. Sage was captued and hung in front of an enormous crowd, in the grounds of Chillingham Castle. As he hung the crowd started to take souvenirs, cutting off Sage's toes, fingers, testicles and nose whilst he was still alive. Its not known how long Sage hung there mutilated before he died. The ghost of John Sage has been seen wandering the castle by many of the visitors and staff. Others claim to have heard footsteps followed by the sound of someone dragging something.

The Great Hall leads into the Chapel and the Minstrels Gallery. The Great Hall is a long room with lots of artefacts on the wall. There is a life size statue


of a horseman on his horse, there is a huge stuffed elephant's head with chain mail elephant armour on, and there is also a tapestry with a skull beneath it. People have experienced lots of strange things near the tapestry, whether it be cold spots or noises being heard.

From the courtyard figures are often seen passing the windows of the great hall when no one is actually in there. The skull is also known to move around the room but never leaves it. One of our readers recommended Chillingham Castle for investigation, they had visited the castle several months ago and had taken many photos, when they had them developed they noticed the strange ghostly presence sat in the chair on the left at the back of theIn the room is a suit of armour holding a two-handed sword, on the walls hang weapons such as swords and pikes, there is a helmet, lots of cow horns and flags. On display are the documents that were found walled up with a Boy in the Pink Room (closed to the public).

The Blue Boy (also known as the Radiant Boy) found some documents to be given to the Spanish from the aristocrat who owned the castle at the time to help them defeat the English during the time of the Spanish Armada. The boy was walled up alive with the documents and his body was found in the 1920s along with some blue cloth from his clothes hence the blue boy. The bones of his fingers were


worn away from where he had been trying to scratch his way out.

It has been reported that when the hour of midnight sounds sometimes you can hear his cries of agony and fear. The centre of the cries always emanate from the Pink room. The noises are usually traced to a spot near a passage cut through a ten-foot wall. When the wails die away, a bright halo of light sometimes appears around the old four poster bed, anybody sleeping in the bed would see the figure of a young boy dressed in blue, and surrounded by light, gently approaching them. He is the most famous ghost to roam the castle and he also seems to be the friendliest towards the public.

Another famous Chillingham ghost is that ofLady Mary Berkeley, wife of Lord Grey of Wark and Chillingham. The ghost wanders the corridors of the castle looking for her wayward husband who ran away with Mary's own sister. Lady Mary was left in the castle, alone with her baby girl as companion, heartbroken. Visitors to Chillingham have often heard the rustle of an old fashioned dress or a chill as if the ghost of Lady Mary has walked by.

A ghost originating from a family portrait has also appeared to the Grey family. The apparition of a woman was seen by the Tankerville's children and their nurse stepping out of the painting, it then followed them around the castle for several minutes. After a family friend stayed at the castle, they saw the same ghost but


during the war with the English, the bodies would be bundled onto a cart and then thrown into the lake. The water is rumoured to be cursed, if you put your hand into the water the souls of the dead will pull you under.

During restoration work in the nineteenth century workmen uncovered two grinning skeletons, the bones of a man and child, close to a trap door that opens to the stone arches of the underground vaults. Is it possible that they hid during a Border Reiver attack only to be trapped in their safe-hiding place. Workmen also discovered in the lower dungeons of the castle, the perfectly preserved figure of a man sitting in a chair. Unfortunately as soon as the air rushed in, the body crumbled.

contentmap_pluginFor many, the first time is a let down at best and an awkward disaster at worst. For four-year-old Malayan tiger Tiga Tahun, it was fatal.

Tiga Tahun was supposed to mate with Connor, 2, at the San Diego Zoo. It was the first mating session for both tigers.

Though things got off on the right foot at first -- "a good start," the AP said -- Connor soon displayed "aggressive behavior." Tiga Tahun sustained fatal wounds to her neck before zookeepers could intervene.

According to the Los Angeles Times' account of the attack, only one zookeeper was monitoring the session to make sure things didn't get out of hand, even though tigers are known to do this kind of thing and both tigers involved were inexperienced. "More mature animals know


how to keep it from being lethal," a zoo spokeswoman told LAT.

Connor is owned by the San Diego Zoo. Tiga Tahun belonged to Omaha Zoo, but was brought to San Diego to mate with Connor in the hopes that they would add a few more Malayan Tigers to the species count (there are only 500 of them in the wild). Instead, we lost one. The Omaha Zoo is probably isn't too thrilled with the San Diego Zoo right now.

This is not the first time a Malayan tiger from San Diego Zoo murdered a prospective lover. In 2011, Seri, a three-year-old female, killed El Paso Zoo's Wzui, possibly because Wzui was paying too much attention to another woman, the 15-year-old Melor.

Fortunately, Fresno Zoo's Malayan tiger, Mek, was recently discoveredFormer Wimbledon winner Lleyton Hewitt has warned the tennis world not to underestimate Novak Djokovic or Andy Murray as they gear up for their returns.

The duo started the year as the top-two ranked players in the world, however, poor performances along with injuries saw them drop in the rankings, with both players last featuring at SW19 in July.

Having emulated Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal by taking time off until the new year, Djokovic and Murray are set to return to action, with the pair both confirmed to feature at the 2018 Australian Open.

There are doubts, however, on whether they can return to their previous levels that saw them dominate the entirety of 2016, especially with Federer and Nadal enjoying career renaissances in 2017.

Hewitt shares these doubts as well


the perfect time for the younger Australian players like Nick Kyrgios, Jordan Thompson and Thanasi Kokkinakis to make a mark at Melbourne Park.

"It's an interesting one," Hewitt added. "You've got (Stan) Wawrinka, (Milos) Raonic, (Kei) Nishikori - a lot of top guys coming off an extended break from injuries or surgeries at the end of the year.

"So the door is open for some of these younger Aussie boys."This is not just a matter of many older teachers retiring. The number of teachers leaving for non-retirement reasons grew from 6% in 2011 to 8.1% in 2016.

The government is having trouble recruiting enough trainee teachers, and the process of training them is made harder by the number of experienced staff members leaving to work abroad. An estimated fifteen thousand teachers each year move abroad, snapped up by foreign and international schools. Of the roughly 230,000 new teachers needed by international schools, around 150,000 of them will come from the UK.

Why are these British teachers leaving? Nearly half of these cite dissatisfaction with the British educational system as the reason for leaving. Another third were considering leaving the teaching profession altogether but opted to work abroad instead of


Head Injury to Math Genius

3 June, 2014

A recent article in the National Post highlighted the miraculous outcome a young father had after sustaining a horrible head injury. One evening in 2002, Jason Padgett was leaving a karaoke bar and was attacked from behind suffering a severe blow to the head. Initially following the injury Padgett noticed that his vision changed; it became sharper and more comprehensive, and he became obsessed with different shapes and curves that stood out. After further assessment from his physicians Padgett was diagnosed with Savant Syndrome (also known as savantism).

It may seem quite extraordinary that one blow to the head can significantly alter ones mental abilities, and it is, however Jason is not the only person who has savantism. Savant Syndrome is a conditionthat affects some individuals with mental disability, who are/become extraordinarily adept in memory, arts, math and music. Following his head injury, Padgett, a once college drop-out began studying math and physics, which he excelled in like never before.

"There are three levels of savant ability (which is more common in men than women, with male savants outnumbering females six to one). First, there's something called splinter skills - this would be a case with someone who has a talent for memorization above the norm, for example. Then there's something called a talented savant - someone who has a marked talent in one area - and finally, there's something called the prodigious savant - someone with truly extraordinary gifts. There are fewer than 100 known prodigious savants living, worldwide."

Mercer raised the idea of starting a record company while golfing with Harold Arlen and Bobby Sherwood and with Wallichs at Wallichs's record store. On February 2, 1942, Mercer and Wallichs met DeSylva at a restaurant in Hollywood to talk about investment by Paramount Pictures.

On March 27, 1942, the three men incorporated as Liberty Records (not the unrelated label Liberty Records). In May 1942, the application was amended to change the company's name to Capitol Records.[5]

On April 6, 1942, Mercer supervised Capitol's first recording session where Martha Tilton recorded the song "Moon Dreams". On May 5, Bobby Sherwood


and his orchestra recorded two tracks in the studio. On May 21, Freddie Slack and his orchestra recorded three tracks in the studio; one with the orchestra, one with Ella Mae Morse called "Cow-Cow Boogie" and "Air-Minded Executive" supervised by Mercer. On June 4, 1942, Capitol opened its first office in a second-floor room south of Sunset Boulevard. On that same day, Wallichs presented the company's first free record to Los Angeles disc jockey Peter Potter. On June 5, 1942, Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra recorded four songs at the studio. On June 12, the orchestra recorded five more songs in the studio, including "Trav'lin' Light" with Billie Holiday, On June 11, Tex Ritter recorded "(I Got Spurs That) Jingle Jangle Jingle" and "Goodbye My Little Cherokee" forhis first Capitol recording session, and the songs formed Capitol's 110th produced record.

Capitol was the first major west coast label to compete with labels on the east coast such as Columbia, Decca, and RCA Victor. In addition to its Los Angeles recording studio, Capitol owned a second studio in New York City and occasionally sent mobile recording equipment to New Orleans and other cities.

Capitol released a few classical albums in the 1940s, some of which contained a heavily embossed, leather-like cover. These recordings appeared on 78 rpm format, then released on the 33 format in 1949. Among the recordings: Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos' Choros No. 10, with contributions from a Los Angeles choral group and the Janssen Symphony Orchestra (1940–1952), conducted by Werner Janssen; Symphony No. 3 by


Russian composer Reinhold Moritzovich Glière; and César Franck's Symphony in D minor, with Willem Mengelberg and the Concertgebouw Orchestra.

In 1949, Capitol opened a branch office in Canada and purchased KHJ Studios on Melrose Avenue adjacent to Paramount in Hollywood.

Capitol began recording rock and roll acts such as the Jodimars and Gene Vincent. There were comedy records by Stan Freberg, Johnny Standley, and Mickey Katz. Children listened to Capitol's Bozo the Clown albums. Although various people played Bozo the Clown on television, Capitol used the voice of Pinto Colvig, who was also the voice of Goofy in Walt Disney cartoons. Don Wilson also released children's records. In June 1952, Billboard magazine contained a chronicle of the label's first ten years in business.[7]

In 1955, the British record company EMI endedits 55-year mutual distribution agreement with RCA Victor and acquired 96% of Capitol's stock for $8.5 million. EMI built a studio at Hollywood and Vine to match its state-of-the-art Abbey Road Studios in London.

The Capitol of the World series introduced in 1956 and active into the 1970s encompassed German Beer Drinking Songs, Honeymoon in Rome, Australian Aboriginals, and Kasongo! Modern Music of the Belgian Congo. Many were produced by Dave Dexter Jr. This series contained over 400 albums.[9]

In 2012, the recorded music operations of EMI were sold to the Universal Music Group and the world headquarters were re-established in the Capitol Tower in Hollywood as part of the subsequent reorganization of the Capitol Music Group. Steve Barnett, previously an employee of Columbia, was hired as Chairman and CEO


to material items that the copyright owner put into the stream of commerce."[14]

In 2014, PGH Live Music joined the team and Katy Perry founded the record label Metamorphosis Music, starting a label venture with Capitol.[15] The name of the label was later changed to Unsub Records in 2016.[16]

Also that year, Capitol rose to number two market share and won four categories at the Grammy Awards for music by Beck and Sam Smith.[17]

In 2018, Capitol's electronic division Astralwerks relaunched with a new team and moved its entire operations to Capitol's tower in Los Angeles.[18]

Designed by Welton Becket with Louis Naidorf, a young architect from Becket's office, serving as project designer[19][2] the thirteen-story, earthquake-resistant Capitol Records Tower is the world's first circular office building. Home to several recording studios, itis one of Hollywood's most distinctive landmarks. Although not intended as a tribute to record players, its wide curved awnings and tall narrow tower mimic the appearance of a stack of gramophone records atop a phonograph. The building was commissioned by EMI after its acquisition of Capitol Records in 1955 and was completed in April 1956. The building north of the intersection of Hollywood and Vine and is the center of the company's consolidated West Coast operations. It was nicknamed "The House That Nat Built" after the financial success of Capitol singer Nat King Cole. The rectangular ground floor is a separate structure joined to the tower after it was completed.

In September 2006, EMI announced that it had sold the tower and adjacent properties for $50 million to


New York-based developer Argent Ventures.[20] In mid-2008, a controversy erupted over a plan to build a condominium complex next door, igniting fears that the building's acoustic properties, specifically its underground echo chambers, would be compromised. It was announced in November 2012 that Steve Barnett would become Chairman and CEO of Capitol Music Group and would be based at the Capitol Records Building.[21] Capitol and artist Richard Wyatt Jr. restored his Hollywood Jazz Mural on the south wall of the Capitol Records building.[22]

Capitol's recording studios were designed to minimize noise and vibration, then newly important goals in the high-fidelity sound era. An inner wall floating on layers of rubber and cork was erected inside the building's 10-inch-thick (250 mm) concrete exterior walls, leaving a one-inch air gap to providecomplete sound isolation.[23] The facility also features subterranean echo chambers that allow engineers to add reverberation during the recording process. Eight trapezoidal chambers are located 30 feet (9.1 m) underground, with 10-inch concrete walls and 12-inch-thick (300 mm) concrete ceilings. Speakers on one side and microphones on the other permit an echo effect of up to five seconds. Studios A and B can be combined for the recording of orchestral music and symphonic film soundtracks. The first album recorded in the tower was Frank Sinatra Conducts Tone Poems of Color.

Capitol modified albums that were originally released in other countries on other labels. Albums released in the United States contained fewer tracks, usually no more than 11 or 12, compared to albums released in the United Kingdom due to


differences in the method of publishing royalties were calculated in the two countries.[24] Also, in the American market it was expected for albums to include the current hit single, whereas British albums typically did not duplicate songs released as singles.

Possibly the most well-known treatment of an international artist's recordings was the company's release pattern for various albums by the Beatles. This began with Capitol's release of Meet the Beatles!, the first album by the band to be released by Capitol in the United States. It was based on the British album With the Beatles, which contained 14 tracks and a running time of around 35 minutes. Capitol removed five tracks ("Money", "You've Really Got A Hold On Me", "Devil in Her Heart", "Please Mister Postman", and "Roll OverBeethoven") and added both sides of the band's first American hit single ("I Want To Hold Your Hand" and "I Saw Her Standing There") and the British single's B-side, "This Boy". "I Saw Her Standing There" was on the Beatles' first British album Please Please Me. This resulted in Capitol releasing Meet the Beatles as a 12-track album with a duration of around 30 minutes, and made it comparable with other American pop albums. It also provided Capitol with unreleased tracks for use in later US Beatles albums such as The Beatles' Second Album.

Capitol also issued "duophonic" stereo releases of some recordings where the original master was monophonic. Capitol engineers split the single master monaural track into two, boosted the bass on the right channel, boosted treble on


the left channel and added a split-second delay between channels to produce a "stereo" release. This Duophonic process meant that the Beatles' American fans heard a slightly different song from that heard by the rest of the world if they listened to the stereo version.[25]

This trend in the Beatles' American discography continued until 1967 when a new recording contract with EMI was signed. Unhappy with the way Capitol in the US and other companies around the world were issuing their work in almost unrecognizable forms, beginning in 1967 the Beatles gained full approval of album titles and cover art, track listing and running order in North America. Starting with Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Beatles' albums were released unmodified. Issue of 45 RPM singles featuring album trackswas also stopped. Instead non-album tracks were issued as singles between album releases.

Beginning in 1948, Capitol Records were released in the UK on the Capitol label by Decca. After its 1955 acquisition of Capitol, EMI took over distribution in 1956.[26] EMI's Parlophone unit handled Capitol label marketing in the UK in later years.[27]

In 2012, EMI was sold to Universal Music Group. Universal Music started Capitol as an autonomous label in the UK with the rights to the Beatles' catalog.[28] This marks the first time that Capitol in the UK operated as an autonomous label.[29]

Capitol Records of Canada was established in 1949 by businessman W. Lockwood Miller. Capitol broke with Miller's company and formed Capitol Record Distributors of Canada Limited in 1954. EMI acquired this company when it acquired


Capitol. The company was renamed Capitol Records of Canada Ltd in 1958 after Miller's rights to the name expired. In 1959, Capitol of Canada picked up distribution rights for EMI's labels Angel, Pathé, Odeon, and Parlophone.[30]

In 1957, Paul White joined Capitol of Canada and in 1960 established an A&R department independent of the American company to promote talent for the Canadian market.[31] The division found native talent such as Anne Murray and EMI musicians from other countries. Beginning in 1962, Capitol of Canada issued albums by British musicians such as Cliff Richard, Helen Shapiro and Frank Ifield. They accepted the Beatles long before the American company. By 1967, they were distributing non-EMI labels such as 20th Century Fox, Buena Vista Records, Disneyland, and Pickwick.[31] The company was renamedFUNDAMENTAL ANALYSYS

Cooks leads the league in two categories the last few years: concussions and getting traded. At least the latter category is not all negative, for while teams always seem willing to part with him, there's another that's willing to give up something of value to acquire him. In this case it was the Texans who gave up a second-rounder for a fourth-rounder and took on $8 million of Cooks' salary, meaning he should be a prominent part of their plans. The issue is they already have two deep threats in Kenny Stills and Will Fuller, plus a newly signed slot receiver in Randall Cobb. At 5-10, 183, Cooks is small and slight, but very fast - 4.33 40 - and also quick. He can line up in theslot or as an outside deep threat and had put up four consecutive 1,000-yard seasons before last year's concussion-plagued campaign. Cooks is still only 26, so he probably hasn't lost anything physically, and Deshaun Watson is yet another star quarterback with whom he's now paired. Should Cooks remain healthy, he'll still need to compete for targets, but Fuller has been so injury prone himself, and Cobb hardly the paragon of durability, that Cooks should get his chances. And it's possible a healthy Cooks is the best receiver of the bunch. Read Past Outlooks

$Signed a five-year, $81 million contract with the Rams in July of 2018. Traded to the Texans in April of 2020.

The bars represents the team's percentile rank (based on QB Rating Against). The longer the bar,


Gurley (if healthy) and rookie Darrell Henderson.

By some metrics Cooks had a fantastic season, but from a fantasy perspective it was underwhelming. Cooks managed 9.5 YPT (4th), 16.6 YPC (4th) and seven catches of 40-plus yards (T-2nd). But the robust per-play production was outweighed by the modest volume - his 114 targets were tied for 17th. It's hard to see a major uptick in usage this year after Cooks was traded to the Rams. While Sean McVay's scheme is among the league's best, Cooks will compete with Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp, both of whom know the system and spent the last year building a rapport with third-year QB Jared Goff. Moreover, the offense runs primarily through all-world back Todd Gurley, who also contributes significantly in the passinggame. At 5-10, 189, Cooks is small but extremely quick, and he ran a blistering 4.33 40 at the 2014 combine. As such, he'll serve as Goff's deep threat, a role to which the departed Sammy Watkins never seemed to take. Just don't expect much red-zone work - Cooks saw only 12 targets in that area last year and doesn't have the frame to catch contested passes. He suffered a nasty concussion during the Super Bowl but was healthy for the start of the offseason program. The Rams apparently aren't too concerned, as they signed Cooks to a five-year, $80 million extension in July.

possibly second-round pick Michael Thomas loom as competition. But coach Sean Payton and quarterback Drew Brees make prolific use of their running backs in the passing game, and the team added Coby Fleener to replace the departed Ben Watson at tight end.

If there's one player who can challenge Jordan Matthews for the title of Most Obvious Breakout Receiver Candidate it's probably Cooks. With Jimmy Graham in Seattle and Kenny Stills in Miami, Cooks is the likely top target in Sean Payton's high-volume passing attack this year. While 32-year-old Marques Colston is still around, his role has diminished for consecutive years, and he rarely saw No. 1 volume even at his peak.

(February 3, 2018) - The New York Red Bulls have waived midfielder Muhamed Keita, the club announced today.

“On behalf of the organization, I’d like to thank Muhamed for his time with the club,” said Sporting Director Denis Hamlett. “We wish him all the best as he moves forward with his career.”

Keita, 27, joined the Red Bulls from Polish club Lech Poznan last Summer. The Banjul, Gambia native made seven appearances in all competitions for the Red Bulls, recording one assist.

Arab migrants
In the 9th century, Pulicat contained settlements of Arab maritime traders. In the 13th century, A.H. 668 (1269 CE), Arabic Suni-Shafi Khadems from Medina migrated to the shores of this lake after they were banished from Mecca for refusing to pay tributes to a new Caliph. They adopted the Tamil language and became leading traders in the area. From 1225 to 1275, Arab ships transporting tin from Malaya to Die, Oman or Dhufar regularly stopped at Pulicat. In the 12th and 13th century, as a result of their trade links with Arabian Peninsula and Indian Ocean ports, Pulicat and other Coromandal port towns came to be identified as centers of formal Islam in South India.

As laid-off workers wait for unemployment checks and the promised relief from the stimulus bill passed by Congress, many are barely scratching out an existence. They're dipping into the last of their savings and counting on the patchwork of orders barring evictions of coronavirus-impacted families while facing the reality that these stay-at-home orders could last for another month or longer. The country lost 701,000 jobs in March , the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Friday. But the March jobs report does not capture the soaring jobless claims data from the past two weeks.

The cataclysmic effect of layoffs in the hospitality and tourism industries is especially pronounced in California, where a new Department of Labor report shows that 878,727 people filed for unemployment last week.

A mid-March study


of financial disaster is Walter Almendarez, who worked for 23 years as a bellman in the elegant corridors of the famed Chateau Marmont, the landmark Los Angeles hotel where the likes of Charlize Theron and Marion Cotillard were routinely spotted on the patio.

The 43-year-old made enough on a salary of $15.45 an hour and tips to take care of his wife and his 7-month-old baby, while helping to support his 77-year-old father and 67-year-old mother, who both receive Social Security and live with Almendarez and his wife.

Then coronavirus swept into California . In early March, Almendarez was asked to take a week's vacation, then a second. Finally on March 19, he was fired with no guarantee that he would be rehired after the crisis passed. For now, Almendarezand his wife are trying to make each pack of diapers last as long as possible.

Last week, Almendarez was among 2,500 workers who drove to a mobile pantry distribution organized by the Los Angeles Federation of Labor to pick up a box filled with rice, pasta, powdered milk and plums, provided by the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank

He wasn't able to make the $1,500 payment due Wednesday on the family's rent-to-own house in Palmdale. And Tuesday brought a new anxiety for his wife: he said it was the last day the family had health insurance through his job.

As he waits in this excruciating period of uncertainty, Almendarez is joining forces with UNITE HERE Local 11, the union that represents many hotel and tourism workers in Los Angeles, to


requires fired workers to be rehired if the hotel changes ownership), as well as a tourism employee recall law in Santa Monica that was passed after 9/11.

The Santa Monica ordinance "worked great -- everyone got their job back after 9/11 and the Santa Monica tourism industry didn't miss a beat," said Kurt Petersen, a co-president of UNITE HERE Local 11. "These ordinances are smart for industry," he said, adding that "the smart companies" are "continuing to pay people, keeping them on payroll. Why? Because they're hoping this is going to turn around and they want to have their workers ready to go."

Petersen noted that his union, which is a part of the LA Federation of Labor, represented more than 30,000 workers before the crisis. This month they willeveryone in his household to the coronavirus.

Francisco Gonzalez, a 39-year-old airport cargo driver at LAX, applied for unemployment after he was laid off on March 24. He considered looking for other work, but he still wants his old job back. And he doesn't feel that any industry is safe from the pandemic right now. Even after a brief trip to shop for groceries, he noticed that the latex gloves he was wearing were filthy after touching the cart.

"I thought, Oh my god, I better throw these away immediately as soon as I get home and wash my hands," Gonzalez said. "I watch everything I bring into the house. I'm very worried still, because the coronavirus could be up in the air, not even where all the hands were

Acetylated lotus rhizome starches were prepared, physicochemically characterized and used as food additives in puddings. The percentage content of the acetyl groups and degree of substitution increased linearly with the amount of acetic anhydride used. The introduction of acetyl groups was confirmed via Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The values of the pasting parameters were lower for acetylated starch than for native starch. Acetylation was found to increase the light transmittance (%), the freeze-thaw stability, the swelling power and the solubility of the starch. Sensorial scores for puddings prepared using native and acetylated lotus rhizome starches as food additives indicated that puddings produced from the modified starches with superior properties over those prepared from native starch.


In NSW abortion is a crime.

A pregnancy can only be terminated if a doctor believes it is necessary to prevent a serious risk to the life or health of a woman.

A bill to decriminalise abortion, enact safe access zones around clinics and force doctors who conscientiously object to abortion to refer women to a doctor who doesn't, was this month introduced by Greens MP Mehreen Faruqi.

A separate private member's bill from Labor MP Penny Sharpe seeks only to create safe access zones around abortion clinics.

The majority of the state's residents (87%) believe women should be able to have an abortion and 81% support the enactment of protest exclusion zones across the state, polling released by Faruqi found.

Most of them (76%) were unaware that abortion was still in theIran’s Rouhani urges global anti-terrorism campaign

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has called on all countries the world over to join hands in the fight against violence, extremism and terrorism.

Speaking at a ceremony to mark the occasion of Mab’ath – the anniversary of God’s appointment of Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH) as the Prophet of Muslims – in Tehran on Tuesday, the Iranian president described division, violence and extremism as the key challenges facing the Islamic world.

He said that the 1979 Islamic Revolution of Iran is the harbinger of unity and solidarity in the Islamic world and invites Muslims to set aside their rifts.

Unsupplemented breastfeeding in the maternity ward. Positive long-term effects.
Feeding routines in the maternity ward were investigated in 204 mother-infant pairs before and in 203 after a change towards earlier, more frequent breastfeeding and elimination of routine substitute feeds. In the intervention group, the volume of breast-milk increased, while the use of formula and sugar solution decreased correspondingly. The infants in the intervention group lost more weight during the first 2-3 days (6.4% versus 4.6%), but regained their birth weight faster than the supplemented control group. The incidence of hyperbilirubinemia was not significantly different in the two groups. No cases of hypoglycemia were diagnosed. At 6 months, 87% of the infants in the intervention group were still fed at the breast, compared with 66% in the control group.

NSRAP Report: 2012 AGM & Community Forum

AGM 2012 & Community Forum

by Kirk Furlotte

On Saturday, June 23, NSRAP held its annual general meeting at Veith House in Halifax. Attendance was greater than any previous AGM with 45 members of the community present. The day was structured in two major parts: the presentation of our annual report, and a community forum.

Our 2011-2012 Vice-Chair, Curtis Cartmill, presented our annual activity report with reports from available committee chairs. The report ended with a section of highlights of events from the past year. Curtis also took a moment to thank Matt Numer, our outgoing Chair of three years, and Sean, our outgoing Past-Chair who was the longest-serving board member.

After the presentation of the annual report, Curtis chaired the election of the 2012-2013 boardBut I think when the band gets off stage, there's probably a good amount of tension between certain members and its been that way for a while I'm sure. For Stand Up, Batson barely had the band in the same room together at the same time from what we've heard--and probably for a good reason. Carter even says in the BW documentary, "we need to get back to basics and focus on music, because without the music, there's nothing else left". I thought that statement was very telling. I think had Roi survived, the band might not still be together today. I think Roi's passing gave the band a different perspective and decided to continue in his honor and to appreciate what they've built and it brought them


back together in a way. But that was almost 10 years ago now. New problems or old problems probably came back to haunt. Seemed like Boyd had his last straw and quit, or the band couldn't take him anymore and kicked him out...something happened.

But Roi was a part of the early Big Whiskey(unnamed) sessions prior to the '08 tour. He was excited and rejuvenated with the addition of Tim. There's no doubt in anyone's mind that when the 2008 tour ended they would be going right back into the studio to finish and complete those ideas they were working on.

In terms of the tension, there seemed to be a bit of evidence to that. '05 and '06 took a toll on the band, especially Dave. Randalls '06, afterletter to the band in late '06 and Roi had that "talk" with Dave in early '07.

It had been mentioned a few times that people don't realize just how important those Vegas '07 shows were in terms of the band deciding to stick it out after the spring Europe run. The timeline makes sense since Dave gave that letter to the band in late '06 and Roi had that "talk" with Dave in early '07.

Aren't those the Vegas shows Roi didn't want to even play but ultimately did only because he needed the money?

Dissident IRA members blamed for attack in Omagh

A Catholic policeman who had just joined Northern Ireland's police force was killed Saturday when a bomb exploded as he was getting into his car.

Const. Ronan Kerr, 25, was killed outside his home in Omagh at 4 p.m. local time. Neighbours rushed to put out the fire but to no avail.

Chief Const. Matt Baggott hailed Kerr as a "modern day hero."

Police have pointed the finger at the Irish Republican Army in the first deadly attack on security


forces in the country in more than two years.

The explosion could have had a wider impact: 2,000 people taking part in the Omagh half marathon had gone through the neighbourhood just hours before the blast.

Irish Catholic police targeted

Irish PM Enda Kenny has called the attack 'heinous and pointless.' (François Lenoir/Reuters)

The IRA has stated it would target Irish Catholics who join the police force.

A new policy for uniting the religiously divided country helped re-make Northern Ireland's police force. Catholic recruits, who only made up eight per cent of the force in 2001, now account for 30 per cent.

Omagh is a town forever linked with the IRA's most deadly attack — a 1998 bombing that killed 29 people in a busy shopping area.

"Those who carried it out want to dragus back to the misery and pain of the past," Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny said Saturday, calling it a "heinous and pointless act of terror."

"They are acting in defiance of the Irish people," Kenny said.

British Prime Minister David Cameron echoed Kenny's sentiments: "Those who carried out this wicked and cowardly crime will never succeed in dragging Northern Ireland back to a dark and bloody past."

'Peace-building will continue'

Leaders from the Irish Catholic and British Protestant communities united in condemning the act and vowed to bring the attackers to justice.

"While those behind this act seek to promote division and conflict, let us state clearly: They will fail," said Sinn Fein deputy leader Martin McGuinness, a former IRA commander who is the senior Catholic in the current government. "The process


The present invention relates to the technology to emphasize a sound image by an acoustic processing of an audio signal.
In playing the music, it is requested that various sound field effects should be attached by applying the acoustic processing to the audio signals to be emitted as the sounds. As an example in attaching such sound field effect, four speakers are provided in front left, front right, rear left, and rear right sides of the listener, and the acoustic processing is applied to the audio signals emitted from respective speakers and the sounds are emitted, so that reflected sound in various directions are reproduced. Also, only two speakers are provided in front left and front right sides, the technology to attach the similar sound field effect is disclosedof the Board's decision. The Zinks alleged in their amended LUPA petition that multiple Board meetings in 2002 and 2003 violated OPMA. Apparently, the Zinks filed a separate public records suit against the City and a visiting judge conducted continuing combined hearings.
¶ 4 On May 13, 2005, after the evidence closed in the public records trial and before further hearings in the LUPA/OPMA case, the parties orally stipulated to resolve the LUPA/OPMA claims. The City agreed it improperly terminated the building permit and improperly conducted a November 13, *1046 2002 meeting. Attorney fees and costs were specifically left open in the stipulation. In its oral rulings, the superior court likened the building permit revocation to a Pearl Harbor bomb and noted, from the Zinks' view, the City engaged


of law regarding "an award of [attorney] fees and costs for the prevailing party." Id. The court both found and concluded that neither the City's revocation nor the Board's decision was supported by substantial evidence. Further, the court found the Board's November 13, 2002 meeting violated OPMA.
¶ 6 The Zinks later requested attorney fees and costs. The court found the City's actions in revoking the building permit were groundless and its defense against the Zinks' LUPA petition was frivolous. It awarded costs under RCW 36.70C.110(4) and attorney fees under RCW 4.84.185. After reviewing the billing records, the court found in its discretion a $30,000 award was reasonable for costs and fees. The court declined to separately award OPMA fees. The City appealed. The Zinks cross-appealed.

Colorado GOP

Now that Donald Trump is formally the Republican presidential nominee, the question in Colorado is whether his candidacy can bring the party together before November.

Colorado's 37 delegates made waves on Monday when they walked out of the convention hall in protest of the rules. On Tuesday most of them voted for Texas Senator Ted Cruz as the GOP nominee even though he was no longer in the race.

It's crunch time for the Republicans vying to be the nominee to run against Democrat Michael Bennet in Colorado's U.S. Senate race. The primary race is still wide open, and when the mail ballots are counted on June 28th, each candidate has a plausible shot of winning.

Republican voters have five candidates to choose from, and if that seems like alot, it's worth noting that earlier this year the race had roughly a dozen candidates.

Just three months out from the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, and the Republican Party remains very much divided over their candidates for president. Ted Cruz closed Donald Trump's lead Saturday, sweeping all of Colorado's 34 open delegates at the GOP state assembly in Colorado Springs.

Republicans here though are as split as anywhere else in the country over the race.

Republican Party activists are gathering in Colorado Springs this Saturday for the state GOP convention. The party will elect delegates to attend the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in July. Senator Ted Cruz is already confirmed to attend. Donald Trump will not, but may send a surrogate to speak on his behalf. Ohio Governor


John Kasich has announced he is not coming.

In an interview with statehouse reporter Bente Birkeland, Steve House, the Chair of the Colorado GOP, says the state plays a pivotal role in who the Republican presidential nominee may be.

Colorado has largely been spared from this summer's political wrangling ahead of the 2016 presidential race. But as Republicans nationally are working to narrow the presidential field, the GOP in Colorado wants to widen its field of candidates to run against incumbent Democratic Senator Michael Bennet next year.

"The numbers tell us Senator Bennet is vulnerable," said Republican state party Chairman Steve House. "It would be great to hold onto the U.S. Senate. Republicans have to defend a number of seats more than the Democrats."

The race to be Colorado’s next Governor isofficially underway. Former Congressman Bob Beauprez will challenge Governor John Hickenlooper in November after winning a four way GOP primary race. Beauprez captured a four-point lead over his closest challenger, Tom Tancredo.

Four Republicans are vying to be the lone candidate to run against Democratic Governor John Hickenlooper in the fall. But with the primary election coming up on June 24th, only two of the candidates participated in a taped debate hosted by CBS 4 and Colorado Public Television. Bente Birkeland has more from the state capitol.

Republicans gathered in Boulder for their state assembly on Saturday and narrowed down the list of candidates for Governor. As Bente Birkeland reports, the party also nominated people for other statewide races and for the U.S. Senate.

Colorado Republicans say they’re putting in a
