Dozens of people have been questioned by police and reports say senior officials received pay-offs and, in particular, two of Olmert's associates are suspected of handling bribes.

The Holyland project began in the 1990s and received final construction approval in 1999. Some building continues today. Olmert was mayor of Jerusalem for a decade until 2003, when Lupoliansky was elected as his successor.

This was an aggressive speech by Clinton and a major departure from her 2008 run, when, after an embarrassing loss to Barack Obama in the Iowa caucuses, she went on the attack in New Hampshire, with ABC News reporting it this way:

“While the senator was vague, her campaign pointed out to ABC News examples of Obama’s liberal positions, including his 2004 statement to abolish mandatory minimum sentences for federal crimes.”

On Tuesday, the day before his wife’s speech, Bill Clinton had weighed in. As the Guardian reported:

“Former U.S. president Bill Clinton has called for an end to mass incarceration, admitting that changes in penal policy that happened largely under his watch put ‘too many people in prison and for too long’ and ‘overshot the mark.’”

The Guardian goes on toDENVER—A senior executive of a failed Colorado bank has been sentenced to 30 months in prison for making improper loans to prop up the institution.

Gregory Bell was facing up to 30 years on each of three counts, including bank fraud, and up to 20 years for money laundering at the New Frontier bank.

U.S. District Court Judge Lewis Babcock ordered a hearing on June 12 to determine who will get restitution.

Investigators and prosecutors said the investigation proves that the federal government takes bank fraud seriously.

"Those responsible for bank failures were also ultimately responsible for the weakening of our economy," U.S. Attorney John Walsh said in a statement after the sentence was announced on Wednesday.

Bell was the chief loan officer at New Frontier, which had $2 billion in assets before

Leake, Contributing EditorOctober 2002Turn back the clock five memorable decades and picture post-World War II Americans gathered in front of the burgeoning media phenomenon, the family TV. Capturing viewers' attention and their hearts is an irrepressible, wide-eyed redhead who's married to a dashing Latin band leader.

When "I Love Lucy" debuted on Oct. 15, 1951, millions of baby boomers were first introduced to the largest island in the crystal-blue Caribbean Sea. That's because, as the enduring story line goes, Lucille Ball's character, Lucille McGillicuty, had met Desi Arnaz's Ricky Ricardo while vacationing in his homeland, Cuba. Thanks to the positive image generated by the stars' legendary show, it was easy for


an impressionable young audience to fantasize: imagine the thrill of visiting a seemingly lush tropical island teeming with romance, rum and the captivating sound of Conga drums.

During that more innocent time, the majority of "Lucy" show aficionados were undoubtedly more tuned in to the weekly adventures of the Ricardos and their best friends, the Mertz's, than they were to Cuba's equally eventful political scene.

Lucy, Ricky, Fred and Ethel were the household names in this country, not a colorful Cuban character named Fulgencio Batista. A former military general, Batista had been elected Cuba's 14th president in 1940. In 1943 he legalized the country's communist party, which had been formed in Cuba in 1925.

On Oct. 10, 1952, with all the drama of a Hollywood production, Batista stages a coup, cancelsthe presidential election, suspends the constitution and becomes Cuba's first dictator.

In response to Batista's increasing force to maintain order and control, organized insurrections become more frequent and revolutionary groups pop up all over the country.

A young cigar-smoking rebel named Fidel Castro survives guerrilla warfare against Batista, imprisonment, a trial and exile to Mexico to eventually rise victorious as Cuba's leader on Feb. 13, 1959, at the age of 33.

Castro wastes no time implementing repressive and anti-American policies, including the expropriation of Americans and their property in Cuba, and the alignment of Cuba with the Soviet bloc. In response to Castro's actions, on Oct. 19, 1960, President 'isenhower establishes a partial embargo against Cuba, which becomes a total embargo 16 months later under President Kennedy. In 1963, Kennedy also


makes it illegal for almost all Americans to travel to Cuba.

The bottom line: Cuban markets for U.S. agricultural products are off limits until further notice.

Now fast-forward nearly forty years: At long last, the situation improves.

OPENING THE GATEIn January 1999, President Clinton announced several new initiatives toward Cuba, including allowing the sale of food to private, non-governmental Cuban entities.

In the 106th U.S. Congress, 1999-2000, members proposed legislation to both reduce and increase sanctions against Cuba. The Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act (TSRA), signed into law by Clinton in October 2000, re-authorized the direct commercial export of food and agricultural products from the United States to the Republic of Cuba, irrespective of purpose. However, the law prohibits any public or private U.S. financing of such exports; rather, allsales conducted under the TSRA must be on a cash basis. (TSRA does permit third-country financing, as well as financing by foreign subsidies of U.S. financial institutions.)

The first contracts under provisions of the TSRA were signed in November 2001, according to John Kavulich, president of the New York-based U.S.-Cuba Trade and Economic Council (USCTEC).

Since then, approximately 650,000 metric tons of agricultural commodities and food products have been contracted from more than 40 U.S.-based companies by Cuba's Empresa Cubana Importadora de Alimentos (Alimport). These products have been sourced from some 30 states, Kavulich says.

A government-owned purchasing agency operating under the country's Ministry of Foreign Trade, Alimport is Cuba's exclusive contracting representative for products delivered directly from the U.S.

Since December 2001, the total market value of the agricultural commodities purchased,


contracted, or confirmed as having intention to contract by Alimport, with delivery from December 2001 through September 2002, is approximately $109 million, Kavulich reports.

Primitive labor on a collective farm near Havana.

Based upon statistics compiled by USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service for reported exports in 2001, Cuba currently ranks 54th of 180 countries in terms of food and agricultural product purchases from U.S.-based companies. If, as expected, Alimport purchases a total of $165 million in ag products from U.S. companies this year, Cuba will likely move up to as high as 45th place for 2002. That would put them ahead of such customers as Denmark, the Bahamas, Jordan, Greece, South Africa, Chile, Poland, Vietnam and the Ukraine.

Not bad for our island neighbor that ranked 138th in 2001and 180th - dead last - in 2000. If Alimport purchases its predicted $260 million in 2003, Cuba could rank 33rd.

LANDMARK EVENTAs we go to press, some 256 companies, organizations and government offices from at least 34 states and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico have reserved booths for the U.S. Food & Agribusiness Exposition, scheduled for September 26-30 in Havana, Cuba. This event is the first and only exposition specifically licensed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control for representatives of U.S.- based entities to visit Cuba and market agricul-tural products.

Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Decatur, Ill., is the primary sponsor of the landmark Expo, according to Tony DeLio, ADM's vice president of marketing and external affairs.

"The Expo is the first opportunity most U.S.


much closer to Cuba than most of the island's primary trade partners, so our shipping costs are significantly reduced. And because of the shorter distance, we offer a lower turnaround time than most other countries. For example, it generally takes an extra six to seven days for cargo to arrive from many European ports than it does from the U.S."

FARM BUREAU'S STANCERepresenting more than five million U.S. farm families, the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF), Park Ridge, Ill., is both enthusiastic and explicit about trade opportunities with Cuba, according to AFBF senior economist John Skorburg.

Since the TSRA was enacted, AFBF delegations from six states - Arkansas, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, South Dakota and Texas - have visited Cuba, as has the AFBF Trade Advisory Committee. The North Dakota Farmneither promote nor discourage neutral sales to Cuba under the TSRA. He further stated the administration would not stand in the way of U.S. entities wanting to do business with Cuba, and was, in fact, pleased that U.S. companies were soliciting business with Cuba.

"Our government is the only barricade standing in the way of free trade with Cuba," Irvin emphasizes. "It's time to liberate the Cuban people, and let them see how democracy and a free enterprise system can improve their lives. Since Castro has been in power for 43 years, there are two generations of Cubans that don't know anything about freedom."

A major focus during Irvin's 34-year tenure in office has been opening world markets to Georgia's farmers. In addition to leading a fact-finding mission to Cuba


with a group of Georgia agribusiness leaders in October 2000, Irvin sent his key international trade staff to the island last September, and he was a featured speaker at the January 2002 U.S.-Cuba Business Conference in Cancun, Mexico. Irvin and some 15 Georgia agribusinesses are scheduled participants in the U.S. Food & Agribusiness Exposition.

"Cubans are friendly toward Americans, and their government leaders are anxious to do business with the U.S," Irvin says. "Agricultural trade can do more to cement our relationship with Cuba than any other tools we have." AMThe first in a four-concert series showcasing the works of composer Antonin Dvořák, this performance will feature 16 musicians and works including Serenade in D Minor, op. 44; Piano Quartet in E-Flat Major, op. 87; and Sonata in F Major for Violin and Piano, op. 57.

Rockwell Cycle and DESMO Ducati Holiday Parties

Drove up to Bear Mountain for the first time (in a car) for Rockwell Cycle'sLittle penguins are dying in their hundreds, leading conservationists to fear they are starving as a result of the La Nina weather system.

Other seabirds are washing up dead on beaches, raising concerns that species could become extinct if climate change causes extreme weather events to become more frequent.

At Wellington Zoo, two starving little blue penguin chicks have been brought in this week. One died on Wednesday and the other, found at Lyall Bay, was hanging on to life yesterday.

The zoo's veterinary science manager, Lisa Argilla, said petrels were also starving around Wellington's south coast, and five shags had been brought in this month. "They're unable to find enough food. We've had a lot of starvations and a lot of mortalities."

At Banks Peninsula, hundreds of little white-flippered penguin chicks


that always happen, but now they're happening more regularly and it's playing havoc with wildlife populations."

However, National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research principal scientist James Renwick said it was unknown whether La Nina would be stronger or happen more frequently in future.

This year's La Nina was the strongest since 1975, when Conservation Department seabird scientist Graeme Taylor said many hundreds of seabirds died.

This year shearwaters in northern North Island colonies were dying because of a lack of feeding opportunities, he said, and gannets at Muriwai and Great Barrier Island had experienced a "major failure" of breeding. "Birds are just sitting on empty nests."

Mrs Helps and husband Francis have 1063 breeding pairs at their colony, but most of the chicks that hatched between October and December have died.

Thefeed them, they start spitting it up again."

Conservation Department vet Kate McInnes said that, during La Nina, cold currents did not come up around New Zealand and stir up the ocean to bring food near the surface.

She also advised that freeing birds rescued from starvation was risky.

"There's still no food out there."

Niwa marine ecologist Leigh Torres said albatrosses were showing signs of being "hungrier" this year.

Around the Snares Islands, 200 kilometres south of the South Island, birds were searching harder for prey and flying closer to fishing boats.

Oamaru Blue Penguin Colony manager Jason Gaskill said no chicks there had starved, but warmer sea surface temperatures led to poorer breeding conditions for fish and less food for penguins, which would affect this year's season.


provided that the area reserved was intended for Williamson's residential purposes and specifically excluded his mobile home from the conveyance.

6
On June 1, 1984, Williamson filed an amendment to his exemption schedule, claiming a state homestead exemption in $30,000.00 of the $61,955.99 of net equity derived from the sale of Courtland Plantation.  That day, Williamson also filed motions to avoid the Cloverleaf and Stinson judgment liens on the ground that the liens impaired his homestead exemption.  The Stinsons objected to Williamson's motion, but Cloverleaf neither filed an objection nor appeared at the hearing before the bankruptcy court to contest the amendment to Williamson's exemption schedule.

7
In February 1985, the bankruptcy court held $30,000.00 of proceeds from the sale of Courtland Plantation exempt under Mississippi homestead law, Miss. Codeof the homestead law, therefore, has not been merely to protect the home from forced sale, but also to withdraw from the reach of creditors property of the debtor as a source of revenue for the support of himself and his family.

14
The primary issue the Stinsons raise in their appeal is whether proceeds from the sale of the Courtland Plantation can be properly considered proceeds from the sale of a homestead.  The Stinsons read the homestead statute to require that a householder claim the exemption in both land and buildings in order to qualify for taking any exemption at all.  Although they concede Williamson occupied the property when he filed for Chapter 11 relief, they stress the fact that he sold only the land, but not


from execution or attachment.  The householder need not own, and thus need not sell, both land and buildings to qualify for an exemption in the proceeds so long as the property sold was used for homestead purposes.

16
In a similar vein, the Stinsons contend that because Williamson retained and continued to reside on a two-acre leasehold covering a portion of the property which he had occupied prior to the sale, he cannot be said to have sold homestead property, statutorily defined as "land and buildings owned and occupied as a residence...."11  That is, since Williamson continued to reside on the same land and in the same building12 as before, nothing changed by the sale;  the essential attributes of the homestead did not pass to the buyerthe proceeds he now claims as exempt would be derived.  Although this omission figures into our analysis of the valuation of his exemption, it has no bearing on the householder's qualification to declare an exemption per se in proceeds from the sale of a homestead.18

III. Waiver

21
The Stinsons argue in the alternative that even if Courtland Plantation was capable of supporting a homestead exemption when Williamson entered bankruptcy, he waived his homestead rights in the proceeds by not making his claim until after the sale was consummated.  The Stinsons rely heavily on language quoted from Woods v. Bowles, 92 Miss. 843, 848, 46 So. 414 (1908), which held that "a Judgment Debtor may successfully interpose his claim of exemption as against the execution creditor at any time

The Lacey Township Board of Education approved a new policy in August that created a voluntary random drug-testing program for middle school students.

((Rob Spahr | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com) )

LACEY TOWNSHIP -- Lacey Township is beginning random drug testing for its middle school students beginning after the new year in a program intended to combat drug and alcohol abuse and addiction at an earlier age.

The Lacey Township Board of Education adopted the voluntary program in August and a letter to the parents of seventh- and eighth-graders announcing the start date went out two weeks ago.

The program requires parents to fill out a form giving the school permission to conduct the random testing. The program is also voluntary for students in interscholastic athletic programs or extracurricular activities.

"Totake advantage of early intervention in the fight against the dangers of drugs and alcohol, the Lacey Township School District is implementing this program to assist our families," principal Jason King said in the Dec. 16 letter.

Lacey Township is located in Ocean County, which recently became the first county in New Jersey to offer the heroin antidote naloxone to high school nurses in recognition of the opioid epidemic's spread to younger users.

For a first test result that is positive, a student is not permitted to participate or attend any interscholastic athletic activity or extracurricular activity for 10 school days, according to the policy. The student would have to be examined by a medical doctor and have four successful counseling sessions with the school's student assistance coordinator, the policy


After steam cleaning the flood damaged record (see 'Can Steam Save This Record?") I used Audio Intelligent Enzymatic Cleaning Fluid and the Loricraft cleaning machine. I chose that one because only a small length of thread touches the record during the vacuuming process. The thread is refreshed with each cleaning.

The fluid remained on the record for two minutes after which it was vacuumed off followed by a rinse with Audio Intelligent Ultra-Pure Water (reverse osmosis or Aquafina would be fine too).

After so treating both sides the record appeared so clean and ready to play I didn't hesitate to first put it in the Audio Desk ultrasonic cleaner so sure was I that nothing on the record would contaminate the Audio Desk fluid.

I then played the record and recorded

Fex-Can project. The number recruited was based on the belief of a suitable group size of at least 5--8 participants at gatherings, taking into account absence at occasional meetings as well as attrition (dropout) from the project. All PRPs were born in Sweden, they lived in different parts of the country and the majority had a university degree. They worked or studied in various fields but none of them had a background in healthcare or health-related research. The former patients, six women and four men, had been diagnosed in adolescence or young adulthood and were aged 20--41 at recruitment. The significant others were two mothers of teenagers who had undergone cancer treatment.

The participants took part in semi-structured telephone interviews. Thirteen individual interviews and two dyadic interviews, in which two PRPs interviewed each other on the same occasion, were conducted. With the exception of two interviews, all were conducted by the four PRPs who volunteered to this task. For practical reasons, two individual interviews were performed by a psychologist in the research team who had no prior relationship with the participants. The interviews were carried out between April and June 2018. On average they were 20 min long, and all were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. The

References made to an animal's claw means a claw or nail that contains a quick. By the term quick, it means that structure internal to the animal's claw that has blood flow as known to those skilled in the veterinary arts. The term claw and the term nail are used interchangeably and are understood as defined by veterinary science.
Historically, although widely used, all conventional nail & claw clippers for family pets and domesticated animals share the same major shortcoming. Whether hand actuated, manually operated or motor driven, traditional claw and nail clippers have routinely caused injury to the animal by cutting into the quick ofof climate change education programs, such as CLEAN, the Climate Literacy and Energy Awareness Network, primarily from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and NASA.

The U.S. Department of Energy led the development of a companion framework on Energy Literacy that will help inform energy education efforts. These programs are beginning to fill the deep knowledge gaps, and help people connect the proverbial dots between climate, energy, human impact on the planet, and what we can do to minimize and prepare for changes that are already well underway.

Current status of hepatocellular carcinoma in the United States.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents a challenging malignancy of worldwide importance and is the third most common cause of cancer-related death globally. While most of the burden of HCC is borne in Southeast Asia, particularly China, and sub-Saharan Africa, there have been several interesting trends of HCC in the United States in the past decades. First, the latest epidemiology trend has shown that the incidence rates for HCC in the United States have been rising. While most cancer related mortality is decreasing in the United States, deaths from HCC are increasing and at a rate faster than deaths from any other types of cancer. Second, early diagnosis of HCC continues to be challenging and most patients would present with unresectable disease.Third, the management of HCC is evolving with many new treatment modalities applied in clinical practice. In addition, multidisciplinary team efforts with increasing role of oncologists have emerged in the management of HCC in most centers in the United States. In this review, the author will highlight the key trends and current status of HCC in the United States.

About Judaism

Stretching 4,000 years back to its patriarch Abraham, Judaism is one of the oldest monotheistic religions in the world. A Jew is anyone who is born of a Jewish mother or who has converted in accordance with Jewish law. The foundation of Jewish law (halakha) and tradition is the Torah (also known as the Pentateuch or the Five Book of Moses: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy).


it might not be the most tense of match-ups. While Arizona has only found victory over Division 2 teams, Sacred City came within 55 points of Bay Area at Pac Destruction. What that doesn’t account for however, is the propensity in previous Playoff tournaments so far this year for this particular game to involve fresh teams to jump into play with fire in their bellies, and a need for seeding upsets right off the bat.

Sacred City has just slightly more wins than losses in their 2016 sanctioned history – seven of the 10 games they played this season – but their game against the only opponents who will be present at this tournament, #5 seed Terminal City, was a significant loss, at 270-136. Sacred City got most ofon those for this tournament to keep in play.

At #40, Arizona just barely made it into D1 tournaments and will likely be looking to prove that they have every right to be there. Their journey upwards 13 places in the May rankings, plus one more spot in June, is no doubt a reflection of their tough 6-3 season, with their sanctioned games being played entirely in three tournaments – The Clover Cup, Besterns, and The Great Salt Skate.

Arizona jammers, when given the chance, like to go real big on scoring – leave that especially to key jammer Luz Chaos to make huge points grabs for the team, when given the chance. The team can occasionally fall into penalty trouble, and has a habit of taking the first half

The former 2015 D2 competitors will likely have high hopes and something to prove as part of their rise this year was a boost of 17 places in March when they took on a falling Demolition City, a story many teams have had this season. In April however, they hosted Team United, who is the #5 seed in Madison, and only lost by 90 points.

The winner of this game will earn a spot in the semi-finals against the winner of Game 4 at 6pm PDT on Saturday. The loser will enter the consolation bracket bright and early the next morning against the loser of Game 2.

Tiny house villages are a new part of the tiny house movement, yet they hold a lot of potential to transform lives and communities. The idea behind these villages is straightforward. It’s about bringing tiny houses together in one place to create tiny house communities that share land, time together, skills, support, and other resources.

Some tiny house villages are still in the planning phase or are demonstration villages. Many tiny house neighborhoods are designed to house the homeless. But as the tiny house movement grows, so does the desire to live a simple life in community. What we see today may be the beginnings of a large and diverse tiny house village movement. Below are 11 tiny house villages leading the way.

A demonstration tiny house village in theDistrict of Columbia, Boneyard Studios has a mission to demonstrate creative urban infill, promote the benefits of tiny houses, support other tiny house builders, and model what a tiny house community could look like.

Community First! Village, a 27 acre master-planned community under development, will provide affordable, sustainable, housing in the form of tiny houses, RVs, mobile homes, and more. They’re focusing on creating a supportive community for the disabled and chronically homeless in Austin and the surrounding area.

Still in the planning stages, this tiny house community in Sonoma, California is the brainchild of Jay Shafer, founder of the Four Lights Tiny House Company. The village will be zoned as an RV park, but function like a coop, with shared common spaces and an intentional community vibe. The village


is a self-governed, self-managed tiny house village created to provide stable, safe housing while people transition to a more permanent living situation. Emerald Village is a tiny house village designed to be a model for long-term, affordable, tiny house living.

A group of people in the Bay Area, led by Chelsea Rustrum, are in the beginning stages of creating a tiny house community near San Francisco. The idea is to create a WiFi-enabled village for those who want to be connected both online and off. The project is currently looking for land on which to test their model. To get involved and stay in the loop, sign up for the mailing list and join the community on Neighborland.

Given the thumbs up by city leaders in Portland, proposed tiny housevillages called Micro Communities, with the help of building company TechDwell, will provide affordable housing for the working poor. Still in the planning stage, these communities offer a way for people living near or under the poverty line to find safe housing, shared spaces, and vibrant neighborhoods.

An official homeless encampment in Portland, Dignity Village has a number of tiny houses, community gardens, communal kitchens, internet access, access to education and counseling and more.

A growing tiny village in upstate New York, Second Wind was started by Carmen Guidi as an attempt to help the homeless. With a crew of volunteers, he built the first six tiny houses and in early 2014. The first residents moved in shortly thereafter. There are currently plans to expand the village as time and


A recent report by the US Congress revealed that there are significant problems in the "teen rehabilitation" industry, including a general lack of oversight and accountability. In 2009 there were Capitol Hill briefings related to abuse of teens in facilities run by WWASPS and other programs. [i] The US House, led by Congressman George Miller, conducted investigations by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) during the 110th Congress (2008). These uncovered thousands of cases alleging child abuse and neglect since the early 1990's at teen residential programs. Further, the investigation revealed that currently these programs are governed only by a weak patchwork of state and federal standards. A separate GAO report, [ii] conducted at the committee's request, found major gaps in the licensing and oversight of residential programs, includingA large male hominin cranium from Sterkfontein, South Africa, and the status of Australopithecus africanus.
Stw 505 is the most complete hominin cranium discovered in Sterkfontein Member 4 since Broom's excavations. It was found in situ in Member 4 breccia in 1989 and is larger, on the whole, than any other cranium from Sterkfontein that has comparable parts. Displacement due to breakage, as well as plastic deformation, has affected Stw 505 in several areas, especially the face and the vault. Diagnosticmorphology is nevertheless abundant in the specimen. In several areas-the distinct anterior pillar, the straight inferior border of the zygoma, the pattern of cresting on the naso-alveolar clivus, the basal aspect of the temporal bone-Stw 505 closely matches the morphology of specimens of Australopithecus africanus and is distinct from

Broad explanations of Costa Rica\'s health achievements in the literature include the orientation of the government toward equity and social development, with large social investments being possible in part due to the absence of military expenditures, given that the 1949 constitution abolished the armed forces ([@bib23]).

The data on health (mostly prevalence of conditions) come from the first wave of interviews in the 3,000 subsample, conducted from November 2004 to September 2006. The mother sample of 9,000 individuals was randomly selected from the 2000 census database after stratification by 5-year age groups. Sampling fractions ranged from 1.1% among those born in 1941--1945 to 100% for those born before 1905. For the in-depth longitudinal survey, CRELES took from the mother sample a systematic subsample of 60 "health areas" (out of 102 for the whole country).

BVI

The BVI (British Virgin Islands) is perhaps one of the most respected and renowned countries for Offshore Company Formation. As a British territory, the British Virgin Islands is made up of four large islands and several smaller islands. It is English speaking and a tax haven, which makes it an attractive option for Offshore Company Formation.

For a quotation to incorporate in the BVI or for more information about offshore company formation in BVI please click here

Taxes

The British Virgin Islands are well known for their tax haven status and due to the BVI IBC act of 1984, offshore companies are exempt from income tax and all stamp duties. This is part of the attraction for offshore company formation in BVI. There is registration and annual fees to pay yearly,but the BVI are still a cost effective alternative to many other regions.

Language Barriers

While in many offshore company jurisdictions, language can prove to be a problem, in the British Virgin Islands, the main language spoken is English. English is widely spoken, written and used in business.

Economy

Because of its status as a tax haven, the British Virgin Islands enjoys one of the most prosperous economies in the Caribbean. Since 51.8% of the revenue comes from offshore companies, the government understands the need to offer a stable environment for those wishing to set up a BVI Offshore Company. The British Virgin Islands use the US dollar as their currency, and has done since 1959.

Rules and Regulations

Rule and regulations in the British Virgin Islands, tend to be more relaxed than most,


There was no error in giving the "on or about" instruction, where the prosecution's entire body of evidence, and the defendant's alibi, was directed at events which took place on 20 June, 1982.  Further, the failure to instruct the jury on an alibi defense was harmless error:  in view of the overwhelming evidence against Dearinger, the lack of an alibi instruction could not have influenced the jury's verdict.

In an horrific incident that occurred less than a year after a driver killed six people in a nearby pedestrian mall, a driver aimed his white SUV at a pedestrian crossing outside Flinders Street station, one of the city’s main transport hubs. The incident occurred at 4.41pm during the busy pre-Christmas shopping rush.

Police said the driver, an Australian citizen of Afghan descent, had a history of drug use and mental health problems and was not believed to have been motivated by extremism.

Wearing jeans and a white t-shirt, the man crashed


the car into a tram stop before an off-duty sergeant who was passing by rushed to the vehicle, fighting with the man before subduing him. Both men were injured.

Since the start of the year, there have been reports of several racially charged events at the university. In one, the president of the university's student association, who is black, said a group of men shouted racist abuse at him. There have been reports of other instances of verbal abuse, and last month a swastika was written in excrement on a dormitory wall.

The debate became national news over the weekend when African-American players on the school's American football team said they were backing the protest group Concerned Student 1950 ("1950" is a reference to the first year African-American students were admitted at the university). The players said they wouldn't play until the group's demands are met. On Twitter more

So it should come as no surprise, especially after his work in UFO research in recent years, that DeLonge is interested in a closer look at things in outer space. As such, he's launched a new crowdfunding campaign in which he announced his new organization's intent to "build this ElectroMagnetic Vehicle to travel instantaneously through space, air and water by engineering the fabric of Space-Time."

"You've got to love your work. If you wake up in the morning and you like going to work, that's as good as it gets."

Jon Fishman, drummer for rock band Phish, will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Syracuse Area Music Hall of Fame.

That's the advice Jon Fishman's father, Dr. Leonard Fishman, hammered home while his kids were growing up. Love what you do. And for three decades, Jon -- drummer for the band Phish -- has heeded his father's words.

Thursday night, the Syracuse Area Music Awards will bestow upon Jon Fishman its highest honor, the Lifetime Achievement Award, for spending his life doing what he loves. It's an accolade earned by just 18 artists, including Ronnie James Dio, Dick Clark and Jimmy Van Heusen.

During an hourlonginterview from his home in Vermont, Fishman -- a 1983 graduate of Jamesville-DeWitt High School -- was initially at a loss for words regarding the award.

"I guess I'm a little embarrassed," he said after some hesitation. "Let's put it this way: My dad, who has donated tons of of his time, is way more deserving of a lifetime achievement award. My friend Roger is...at the forefront of figuring out ALS. My wife has raised five kids...Everybody else in that room deserves a lifetime achievement award for what they've done...Do I deserve a lifetime achievement award for being the luckiest kid in the world?"

As far as Syracuse-bred musicians go, however, Fishman ranks among the most accomplished. He has spent 33 years as the drummer of Phish, the Vermont hippie


staple that took the world by storm in the 1990s and remains one of the most popular touring acts in the country due to its highly devoted counterculture fan base.

With his signature band, Fishman is known for his trademark frock -- a blue "dress" adorned with pink doughnuts -- and for his solos on the vacuum cleaner. He's been shot out of a cannon onstage (sort of) and once sang Katy Perry's "I Kissed A Girl." He's known among fans as simply "Fish" or sometimes "Henrietta."

Aside from Phish, he has played with groups like Pork Tornado and Jazz Mandolin Project. He wrote a senior study at Goddard College called "A Self-Teaching Guide to Drumming Written in Retrospect."

But long before forming one of jam-rock's biggest bands, Fishman was justa kid from Syracuse who liked Led Zeppelin and loved Frank Zappa.

The worst kid in the band

When Fishman first started drumming in middle school he was, by his own admission, no good.

From left to right, members of the band Phish, Page McConnell, Jon Fishman, Trey Anastasio and Mike Gordon appear in the press room after performing at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, Monday, March 15, 2010 in New York. Fishman is being honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Syracuse Area Music Hall of Fame.

"I was the worst drummer in my school band," he says. "There were five kids in the percussion section and I was the bottom of the barrel. Three kids would get to play the drum set and the other


two were relegated to tambourine and bass drum. I was the tambourine kid."

Most of his experience at the time came from trying to mimic his favorite bands: Queen, Led Zeppelin, Genesis and the like. When he discovered "Visions of the Emerald Beyond" by Mahavishnu Orchestra, he decided to take some lessons so he could learn jazz.

His father, Leonard, hooked him up with SAMMYs Hall of Famer Dave Hanlon who, at the time, played with a band called C.R.A.C. The father-son duo would go see the band during sound check at bars and Fishman got to meet the players.

"I was getting to see a real live rock band here," Fishman said. "I got turned on by that. I'm a little kid and there's these fancy instruments. I felt reallycool."

Fishman's took just a handful of lesson from Hanlon, which proved his "lightbulb" moment. After high school, he would leave Syracuse for college in Vermont. He would eventually join guitarist Trey Anastasio, bassist Mike Gordon and keyboardist Page McConnell to form Phish, which allegedly took its moniker from the drummer's last name.

Dr. Dad

Phish drummer Jon Fishman plays during the band's performance at Vernon Downs in 1998. Fishman is being honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Syracuse Area Music Hall of Fame.

Phish started off like any band in the 1980s -- playing college halls and house parties. But while most of America was listening to Michael Jackson and Cyndi Lauper, these four kids from Vermont were playing psychedelic funk. Needless to say, it took a while to


catch on.

Those early days, Fishman said, were a point of concern for his father, an orthodontist. His parents were both supportive of his decision to play the drums for a living, but his father always encouraged him to have a backup plan.

It wasn't until the end of 1994 that both his parents began to grasp the scope and success of this weird little band from Vermont. Phish had been booked at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 30 that year, and sold out the storied arena.

"There's the marquee that says 'Madison Square Garden welcomes Phish'" Fishman said. "It's a big moment. After the concert he comes to me and goes, 'I'm really glad you stuck to your guns.'"

Crash and burn

By 2004, Phish had established itself as a musical force.Critics dubbed the band torchbearers of the Grateful Dead, thanks to a ravenous horde of dedicated followers.

But after a decade of massive tours, festivals that shut down interstates and nearly a dozen studio albums, Phish decided to call it quits. The "hiatus" capped off a series of rocky years and would last half a decade. Over 60,000 people attended a series of farewell shows in Coventry, Vt.

The break, Fishman said, was a low-point. Looking back on it, he said he would have told his 1994 self to "make sure this doesn't go to your head."

"That was the real crash and burn," he said. "I thought we were never coming back. How many bands have we seen come and go in a heartbeat?"

The band reunited in March, 2009, with


three shows at the Hampton Coliseum in Virginia. At the final Hampton show, Anastasio led an impromptu "Happy Birthday" for Fishman's father, who was celebrating his 76th birthday.

Today, the band is back at it, touring and putting out new music, like last year's "Fuego." Plans for this year's summer tour are expected any day.

For Fishman, his father's words of encouragement after that Madison Square Garden show still resonate more than 20 years later.

"No one expected that Phish would last 33 years and that this band would still be going now," Fishman said. "But that moment with my dad [at Madison Square Garden]...I'm going to remember that as a father with my kids. It's good to hear that."

Correction: An earlier version of this story said Phish played at MadisonSquare Garden on New Year's Eve, 1994. The band played on Dec. 30.

Jon Fishman will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Syracuse Area Music Awards during a ceremony upstairs at Dinosaur Bar-B-Que on Thursday, March 5. The event is sold out.

On Tuesday, in an interview with Albert Kostanian, presenter of Vision 2030 TV program, French ambassador Bruno Foucher said that Lebanon has "lost a lot of time" and that "the debate was not at the level of the challenge," given the "bad situation" of the country. However, he tried to be reassuring by saying that "this delay did not compromise CEDRE".

On each visit he makes to Lebanon, Pierre Duquesne, a French diplomat assigned by President Emmanuel Macron to monitor the process, reiterates the same demands that he says are "simple" and "achievable" in the short term, which suggests things are notthe CIP". On the eve of the Paris conference, "the government had hired consultants who did a sloppy job on this evaluation work.

Decisive coming weeks

Faced with this impasse, Mr. de Lajugie warns: "The next few weeks will be decisive for the success of the CEDRE process: All economic actors in the country and the donors are becoming impatient. Lebanon no longer has the luxury of time.” He further urged the government to give serious signs of commitment on two key issues: the 2019 budget and the electricity reform plan.

• Concerning the 2019 budget: Lebanon has pledged in Paris to reduce its public


deficit-to-GDP ratio by five percentage points over a period of five consecutive years. The government had at that time presented a budget forecast for 2018, in which public deficit did not exceed 9% of GDP, but the public deficit has now already reached 11% of GDP. "A sincere, credible and convincing plan for the 2019 budget must be submitted fast by the government, with a reduction in the deficit compared to 2018, based on 9% (and not 11%)," warned Mr. de Lajugie.

As for the reform of the electricity sector: "Electricity tariffs must be increased starting 2019," advised de Lajugie. However, the plan presented by the Minister of Energy, Nada Boustani, provides for this increase in early 2020, along with an increase in production by adopting an interim solution.FIFA.com Club, please register first.

Overview

Corinthians claim maiden Copa title

Corinthians have won the Copa Libertadores for the first time, with Emerson scoring twice in the second leg of the final on Wednesday night to sink six-time champions Boca Juniors 3-1 on aggregate.

The teams played out a 1-1 draw in last week's first meeting in Buenos Aires, a result which pleased the Brazilian side more than the Argentinian outfit, and two second-half goals from Emerson ensured Corinthians finished the job in Sao Paulo.

It is extraordinary for us to win this title, which Corinthians had never won in the past.

The victory secured not only a maiden Libertadores title for Tite's Corinthians, who went through the competition unbeaten, but also a place in December's FIFA Club World Cup in Japan.

A scrappy first


half at the Estadio Pacaembu took a turn for the worse for Boca in the 32nd minute, when goalkeeper Agustin Orion collided with team-mate Leandro Somoza and was forced to leave the pitch with a knee injury.

Sebastian Sosa, who lost the 2011 Libertadores final with Penarol against Santos, replaced Orion between the posts but was powerless to prevent Emerson from opening the scoring eight minutes into the second half. Alex's free-kick into the box was deflected by the head of Jorge Henrique towards Danilo, whose neat flick set up Emerson for a cool right-footed finish.

to ask the person making the claim to take a lie-detector test or to wonder whether that 66% growth was a jump from 10 staffers to 15. But Area 23 had 75 people under its roof last June and 125 this one, which means that the imminent office move was motivated by the surge in headcount rather than, say, a plumbing apocalypse. As for new business, the firm jumped from five clients and six brands to seven clients and 16 brands.

While some agency chiefs would celebrate the good fortune by flying the agency en masse to Aruba, Mellas was inclined to ask, “What's next?” A big reason she returned to the Draftfcb family—her first job out of college was with the company—was the appeal of Area 23's positioningrecent months, as did Pfizer's oncology arm (US/global). At the time, a win in a five-firm derby for AOR responsibilities for Roche/Genentech's cardiovascular drug dalcetrapib would have made the list. But after testing revealed a lack of clinically meaningful efficacy, Roche/Genentech decided to cut off marketing support for the product. That was one of two late-2011 wins from which Area 23 didn't fully benefit, the other being NeurogesX's pain patch Qutenza (it received a thumbs-down from the FDA's advisory committee in February).

Despite frustrations of that sort, Area 23 enters the second half of 2012 feeling confident. High on the list of priorities are managing those headcount/client surges and growing organically. Mellas believes the agency is ready to embrace both challenges. “It's great that we have smart people up


this country," Richmond said. "Thankfully, the right side won the war and slavery is no longer the law of the land."

Kelly foe Frederica Wilson, the Florida congresswoman he insulted after she complained about President Trump's tone-deaf condolence call to the family of a fallen soldier, wrote, "What exactly, I wonder, would be the right 'compromise' between slavery and freedom for human beings?"

Kelly, speaking out over the removal of Civil War monuments, called Confederate General Robert E. Lee “an honorable man” and said the war was sparked by “the lack of the ability to compromise.” (Fox News)

Several historians countered Kelly and the White House's claims.

"This is profound ignorance, that's what one has to say first, at least of pretty basic things about the American historical narrative," David Blight, ahistory professor at Yale University and author of "Race and Reunion: The Civil War in American Memory," told the Washington Post. "I mean, it's one thing to hear it from Trump, who, let's be honest, just really doesn't know any history and has demonstrated it over and over and over. But General Kelly has a long history in the American military."

Stephanie McCurry, a history professor at Columbia University and author of "Confederate Reckoning: Politics and Power in the Civil War South" agreed.

"The reason there was no compromise possible was that people in the country could not agree over the wisdom of the continued and expanding enslavement of millions of African-Americans," she said.


7 2013 review, 2013:

For three months, Google's been talking a lot about tablets. At I/O in June and again this week, it talked about the special section in the Play Store designed just for tablet apps, and the new tools for developers. It's about time, too, because though Android has made huge progress it's still not up to par with the iOS app selection. More and more apps I use are available on Android, but too many are still just blown-up phone apps, and there are still plenty of games and great apps (Paper and Djay come to mind) simply missing. Google's catching up, but it started the race way too late.

Moreover, the President is clearly not "above the law" in other ways. For example, the Supreme Court has ruled that even a sitting president can be sued in a civil law suit. The Constitution also provides that he can be impeached and then removed from office as a result of the impeachment.

While the acts some have labeled obstruction may provide the basis for impeachment for "obstruction," the Constitution, the language as well as the clear intent of the relevant federal obstruction statutes, and the "clear statement" rule all suggest - as three law professors have concluded - that he would not be guilty of the crime of obstruction of justice, even if he wrongly shut down the investigation.

- that a prosecution be discontinued, including the attorney general or even the top law enforcement official, the president.

That's why, in upholding the unique statute which provided for the appointment of an independent counsel, the Supreme Court stressed the constitutional imperative that federal prosecutions must be under the control of the president who is ultimately responsible for law enforcement.

Those conducting such investigations must therefore be subject to his control as head of the executive branch, and he may have them fired if they disobey orders, including orders to stop investigating.

This was even true in the "Saturday Night Massacre" since most agree that President Nixon could lawfully fire Archibald Cox.

The Seahawks knew they were getting a player with a dynamic skill set as a kick returner when they traded up to select Lockett in the third round of last year's draft. But the Kansas State product managed to exceed the lofty expectations thrust upon him this season.

There are plenty of highlights to choose from, but his 105-yard return against the Chicago Bears in Week 3 is perhaps the play most indicative of the raw speed and vision that have turned Lockett into one of the league's more feared kick return artists.

Kodama launched the vampire comedy manga series in Young Ace in 2009. Kadokawa published the manga's 16th compiled book volume on June 30. Yen Press published the seventh volume in North America on February 23. Yen Press also published the spinoff manga Bloody Brat .zone.  Officer Mazzola noticed that a white Toyota pickup truck was following closely behind the grey vehicle and observed that both vehicles had Tennessee license plates.  After being stopped, the driver of the grey vehicle quickly approached Officer Mazzola before he could get out of his police car.  The driver appeared very nervous and agitated.  Officer Mazzola asked the driver of the grey vehicle if he was traveling with the other vehicle, referring to the pickup truck.  The driver answered "yes" and identified one of the occupants of the pickup truck as Kenny Fowler, the defendant.  After obtaining written consent to search the grey vehicle, Officer Mazzola found a set of Accu scales, capable of weighing from two ounces to 50 pounds,


of a type which he had previously seen used to weigh marijuana.  He also found an ammo can containing a large plastic baggie which had a strong odor of marijuana and which contained marijuana flakes.  The driver of the grey vehicle was arrested.

3
Based upon these facts, and relying on his 15 or 16 years of experience as a police officer, Officer Mazzola concluded that since the two vehicles were traveling together, the pickup truck might be transporting contraband.  He radioed ahead and asked that the pickup truck be stopped, but there is conflicting testimony as to whether the suspicion that the pickup truck might be transporting drugs was given in the broadcast as a reason to stop the pickup truck.  The pickup truck wasstopped and searched by officers of the Texas Highway Patrol.  Although the Texas Highway Patrol found nothing in their search of pickup truck, Officer Mazzola then asked that the pickup truck and its occupants be escorted back to the Carthage police department.  The pickup truck was operated by O.V. Fowler, Jr., and defendant was a passenger in the pickup truck.

4
Officer Mazzola explained to the occupants of the pickup truck why they were stopped and asked O.V., the driver, for consent to search the vehicle.  O.V. looked over at defendant, who nodded his head, and then O.V. signed the consent form.  During a search of the passenger compartment, Officer Mazzola found a power screwdriver in the glove box.  In walking around the pickup truck,


he noticed that the panel screws were loose and began tapping the panels around the pickup truck.  When he tapped the tail gate, it sounded solid and the panel screws appeared loose.  Officer Mazzola used the power screwdriver to remove the panel and found approximately $90,000 hidden in the tail gate of the pickup truck.  When Officer Mazzola radioed in to the dispatcher, he stated that he had found approximately $75,000, at which time defendant hollered, "It's not $75,000, it $90,000;  I'm going down to Houston to buy a truck."   However, the pickup truck, which was not registered to either defendant or O.V. Fowler, Jr., was being driven away from Houston when it was stopped.

5
The stopping of the pickup truck began andistrict court rejected defendant's argument that he had an expectation of privacy because he was a passenger in the pickup truck, which was not registered to him.  The district court also relied on Erwin, 875 F.2d at 270-71, in rejecting defendant's argument that he had standing as a result of Officer Mazzola's testimony at the suppression hearing that the $90,000 belonged to defendant.  The district court reasoned as follows:

19
In this case, Kenny Fowler was not the driver of the vehicle, and there is no evidence that he had either ownership, possession or control of the pickup.  In addition, the money was concealed in the tailgate of the pickup, rather than in a readily accessible part of the vehicle.  Under these circumstances, the court finds


Police Department, with O.V. driving the pickup truck, after the initial search of the pickup truck by the Texas Highway Patrol turned up nothing.  However, this is a distinction without a difference.  See Florida v. Royer, 460 U.S. 491, 502-03 (1983) (plurality) (concluding that the defendant was arrested when he was requested to accompany officers to an airport police room because the officers retained the defendant's airline ticket and identification and seized his luggage);  United States v. Gonzalez, 763 F.2d 1127, 1132-33 (10th Cir.1985) (holding that there was an arrest where an officer, who had the defendant's driver's license, car registration, and title, asked the defendant to accompany him to the police station).  Accordingly, we find, as the court in Dunaway did, that themobile fitting, and an outer end that protrudes form the shell of the stopper and constructed to mount an operating handle. Rotation of the handle causes axial shifting of the mobile fitting and the valve seal which, cooperating in a timely fashion with a valve seat placed between the intake passage and the outlet passage of the body of a faucet valve brings about the desired adjustment of the water flow.
Traditionally, the valve seal, supported by the mobile fitting, was made up of a packing disc consisting of elastomeric material. The mount of the inlet passage is formed in the body of a faucet, itself as a valve seat that cooperates with the packing disc to adjust the flow. An example of this traditional arrangement is provided in


of the inlet passage of the faucet body. The interior end of the second ferrule holds an elastomeric retaining sealing member by a spring toward the shoulder of the first ferrule. The mobile fitting of the stopper moves axially onto the sealing element for shutting off flows and rises away from the sealing element to an open position. A disadvantage of this arrangement is that two ferrules must be used. Besides the added costs and complexity of two ferrules, the presence of two ferrules adds thickness inside the shell of the stopper. This increased thickness limits the diameter of the elastomeric sealing member and the passage therethrough which in turn restricts the maximum flow volume of the stopper under maximum opening conditions.
Furthermore, in the known stopper constructions, thepressure of the water works on the mobile fitting over a large cross section, giving rise to a relatively powerful force that must be overcome by working the stopper. Furthermore, as the elastomeric sealing member wears out or is crushed, the mobile fitting axially advance an increased distance position to provide the seal in the closed position in turn which entails inconveniences and interferes with the service life of the packing. In addition, the known valve stopper has static packings placed between the shell of the stopper which can yield only to a very limited degree. The distance between the region in which the valve stopper shell is screwed onto the faucet body and the surface of the body against which said static packing must establish a successful

BACKGROUND

As required by the Federal Communications Commission, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) must adopt a contingency plan to provide for the possibility of an area code change for the 909 area code. In 2000, the CPUC suspended plans to introduce a new area code to the 909 area, instead initiating conservation measures that have extended the life of the 909 area code by nearly four years. The 909 area code is now projected to run out of numbers during the fourth quarter of 2003.

In June 2002 the North American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA) filed with the CPUC the telecommunications industry proposal for a new area code in the 909 area. Seven alternative area code changes were studied: six different area code splits and


area code.

Two local jurisdiction meetings, one in each of the affected counties (San Bernardino and Riverside Counties), were held as follows:

Friday, July 11, 2003 - 10:00 A.M.

San Bernardino City Council Chambers

300 North D Street

San Bernardino, CA 92418

Friday, July 11, 2003 - 2:00 P.M.

Riverside County Board of Supervisors-Board Room

4080 Lemon Street

Riverside, CA 92501

In addition to the local jurisdiction meetings, the CPUC held five meetings to present the proposed alternatives to the general public and gather their input. These meetings were held as follows:

Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 10 A.M.

Riverside City Council Chambers

3900 Main Street

Riverside, CA 92522

Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 7 P.M.

Thursday, July 17, 2003 - 7 P.M.

Ontario, CA 91764

As part of the outreach efforts, Commissioner Loretta Lynch sent letters to some 320 public agencies and elected officials notifying them of the meetings, asking them to attend, and enclosing informational materials regarding the potential area code changes. Letters were sent to city council members, mayors, city managers, fire chiefs, police chiefs, Riverside and San Bernardino County Boards of Supervisors, California State assembly members and senators, and U.S. congresspersons and senators associated with the 909 area code.

The Public Advisors Office in Los Angeles sent 154 letters to community-based organizations and various community groups. They also contacted the League of Cities representatives who in turn


sent emails notifying their member cities of the meetings. The San Bernardino League representative gave an overview of the proposals at its monthly legislative meeting about a month before the CPUC public meetings. The Public Advisor also telephoned all the legislative offices of the affected state assembly members and senators informing them of the upcoming meetings.

Prior to the meetings, the CPUC press office issued press releases to key reporters and contacts detailing information about the public meetings. Two articles appearing in the Riverside Press-Enterprise on June 18, 2003 and June 25, 2003 highlighted the series of planned meetings, listing their times and locations. All seven meetings were also noticed in the CPUC Daily Calendar and on the Commission's web site.

MEETING FORMAT

All meetings used the same format. Informational materialswere made available at the meeting room entrance to incoming participants. These included an agenda, fact sheets regarding the 909 area code and conservation measures adopted by the CPUC, maps of all seven alternative area code changes under consideration, a rate center chart, and a comment form. Participants were requested to sign in, although this was not required. Speakers were asked to sign up using speaker cards. Following a brief presentation by CPUC commissioners or staff and Joe Cocke, senior planner with the North American Numbering Plan Administration, the meetings were opened to questions and comments from the public. Speakers were called in the order their speaker cards were received, with the public called first and industry representatives second.

Commissioners Loretta Lynch and Carl Wood were present at both


local jurisdiction meetings in Riverside and San Bernardino on July 11, 2003 and the first public participation meeting on July 12, 2003. Commissioner Lynch also attended the last public participation meeting in Ontario on July 17, 2003. Mary Jo Borak of the Telecommunications Division participated in all seven meetings. Helen Mickiewicz of the Legal Division participated in the Murrieta and Moreno Valley meetings. The Public Advisor's Office staff attended all meetings, providing informational materials and signing up speakers.

DESCRIPTION OF ALTERNATIVES
(see Attachment A for actual maps)

Alternative #1 - Two-way Geographic Split

The split boundary line runs along rate center boundaries in a west to east direction approximately through the center of the 909 area code, creating a northern area code referred to as "Area A" and a southern area code,909 area code and use the seven-digit dialing that is currently in use. This alternative would include the City of Calimesa in the 909 area code, since Calimesa, Yucaipa, and the communities of Oak Glen, Forest Falls, and Angelus Oaks make up the "Calimesa Rate Center." While the City of Calimesa, located in Riverside County, would have a different area code from the rest of Riverside County, it is a small city of approximately 7,300 residents. The City of Yucaipa, on the other hand, has approximately 43,500 residents. San Bernardino residents make up the vast majority of the "Calimesa Rate Center." Alternative # 1 would therefore adversely impact fewer residents.

Dick Riddell, Mayor of the City of Yucaipa, presented a letter conveying his city's views of the proposed alternatives.


Yucaipa opposes Alternative # 7, since it separates Yucaipa from much of San Bernardino County. This alternative would separate a small portion of western Yucaipa from the rest of the community, creating two area codes within the city. Yucaipa has a population of approximately 45,000, and is the largest city in the rate center. Alternative # 7 disrupts both residents and businesses, and disassociates Yucaipa from those with whom they conduct on-going business. Historically, the city of Yucaipa has been considered a part of the "East Valley" of San Bernardino County. Residents' travel/commute patterns are generally to the West, not to the South.

Rather, the City of Yucaipa supports Alternative # 1, which includes Yucaipa with neighboring communities in San Bernardino County. This association is consistent with current, well-establishedpatterns of communication for residents within the city.

David Seidel, Information and Technology Coordinator for San BernardinoCounty, spoke of the difficulties of coordinating the telecommunications needs for a county covering 20,000 square miles. The county essentially runs its own phone company, with 16 full PBX systems and 20,000 county users. The poor economy compounds the fiscal impact any area code change will exact on county staffing needs and budget. Alternative # 1 solves most of the problems posed by the area code change options. There remains both an economic and training issue, however. The overlay alternative is extremely problematic, requiring one hour per switch to make changes required by the overlay, and the county has over 60 switches. Taking the switches off line to complete the translations also entails


stated the overlay would be "extremely detrimental". Commissioner Wood asked Mayor Schook what his thoughts were about Alternative #1. He replied that Calimesa likes Alternative #3, since Redlands is a community of interest for them.

Kevin Pape, former mayor of Lake Elsinore, eight-year city councilman, and elected Riverside County Republican Central Committee, remarked that change is inevitable. He prefers an area code change, sooner rather than later. There are tens of thousands of new homes under construction in his area. He prefers to have as long a transition time as possible. Mandatory dialing should be a long time, the longer the more beneficial.

Cindy Roth, President of the Greater Riverside Chamber of Commerce, says they only received two options, and of those two they prefer Alternative #7. She said, "NoWHAT WAS GOING ON IN THE HOME INTENSIFIES. NEW TONIGHT. SOURCES SAY THEY BELIEVE CHARLIE WAS IN THE BASEMENT THE WHOLE TIME. COMING UP STAIRS TO EAT WHEN HE THOUGHT THE COAST WAS CLEAR.

Greene first radioed the registration information from the trailer to the patrol post and then met defendant, who was out of the truck and coming to the rear of the trailer.  Greene requested defendant's driver's license, explained why he had been stopped, and then requested registration for the truck, bills of lading, and the log book from defendant.

4
Defendant told Greene that he had no bills of lading because the trailer was empty at the time.  Greene testified that, in his experience, it was unusual for a commercial truck driver not to have bills of lading.  Greene inspected defendant's log book anddiscovered that it was incomplete.  Greene testified that log books are required to be complete because drivers are only permitted to drive a certain number of hours.  After further conversation, defendant explained that he was driving for an individual named John White whom he had met at a truck stop in Dallas, Texas.

Defendant told Greene that he had driven a load from Dallas to Springfield, Missouri, where he was met by two unknown individuals who had removed the trailer from his tractor, taken the trailer somewhere, and later returned with the empty trailer padlocked.  Defendant said he was then instructed to drive to Columbus, Ohio, check into a motel, and wait for a telephone call from White.  Defendant denied knowing the combination of the

I took a look back through the ETO archive and selected these 20 examples from the first decade of the millennium (up to 2010) which could be worth hanging on to…

The Cone by Twisted Products:

One of the most talked about products of 2006, The Cone was unlike anything that had gone before it – or since, come to think of it. It retailed at £50 and delivered very punchy vibrations, and its design meant it could be used hands-free by either gender. Jonathan Ross liked it too.

Delight by Fun Factory:

According to Fun Factory, Delight was designed to “combine internal and external stimulation in an innovative way”. The award-winning creation looked very different to anythingelse on the market, plus it was rechargeable and came with its own case – almost standard now, but not in 2008.

Earth Angel by Caden Enterprises:

It might not have looked particularly swish but Earth Angel was made from recyclable parts, came in recyclable packaging and it was powered by the user. Yes, it was the world’s first wind-up vibrator. A range of sleeves were promised for 2009 but sadly the project never got the backing it deserved.

The Great American Challenge by Doc Johnson:

It might sound like a special at a burger bar but when it was launched in 2004 this 15” tall beast was the industry’s biggest ever vibe. Supplied in patriotic red, white and blue packaging, it is something of an industry icon and is still available.


‘70s’ nostalgifest, and adding a dildo to it. Another sex toy that was showcased by Jonathan Ross in 2007, the Horny Hopper also appeared in adult feature films from Dreamlight Studios.

I Rub My Duckie by Big Teaze Toys:

The iconic vibrating duck heralded a revolution in sex toy packaging and non-phallic vibrators, and it still looks contemporary, despite being launched back in the early noughties. There have been many variations on this theme, some limited editions, so a complete collection would be most desirable.

Intimate Massagers by Philips:

The consumer electronics giant shocked us all in 2008 when it unveiled a range of three sex toys aimed at couples. Selling for up to £90, High Street stockists including Boots and Selfridges took them on, but Philips seemed to shy away frompromoting the devices. And they quietly vanished.

Phoenix by Magma Toys:

Out of the box, Phoenix was just a conventional looking phallic vibe but with a rather flaccid shaft filled with liquid. Inside this was a silver disc and when it was clicked it set off a chemical reaction that crystallised, hardened and heated the liquid – similar to hikers’ hand warmers.

Rock-Chick by Rocks-Off:

It’s 2003 and a new product has been launched by a new UK firm. It looks unlike anything else on the market, it’s packaged unlike anything else on the market, and it works unlike anything else on the market. A still-sealed example of the toy that launched a company must be worth keeping hold of.

Sasi by Je Joue:

One of the stars of Venus Berlin 2008, Sasi was


raised the bar for a ‘discreet’ sex toy back in 2007 as it not only looked like a hair brush it also functioned as one too. However, a quick twist of the slightly phallic-shaped handle was enough to set this brush a-buzzin’. One of many Pipedream novelties worth hanging on to.

Vido by Infinite Business:

Vido was one of the first rechargeable vibes when it emerged in 2004 but its main claim to fame was its use of two motors, one in each end, which ran in opposite directions. The silicone shaft then throbbed, rather than vibrated, and this was said to be “in tune with the body’s electrical system”.

Waver by Orion:

Back in 2007 this was state of the art technology. Apparently a German engineering graduate approached Orion with hisactually dig new bands and tunes as opposed to spending every Saturday off in Flares or down the local boozer... Over the years Stockton Calling has built up its notoriety as one of the best multi-venue festivals the country has to offer. Last year saw Sheffield indie boys Milburn headline KU Bar to a sold out crowd and it went off... Proper... Over the last few years I've seen the likes of Blossoms, Reverend and the Makers, Cast, The Spitfires and a host of great local bands all share a stage. Music brings people together and unites communities and Stockton Calling does this year after year even when times are getting tougher for both the people and the area itself. 2018 is set to be another big day
