in June or July of 1976, Morgan shot at Roberts and attempted to run him off the road because of Robert's relationship with Taxpayer.  Morgan also threatened to kill the Taxpayer and her son from a former marriage.  These events evidently prompted her to file a divorce petition in June of 1976 in order to terminate her marriage.  Taxpayer supplied her divorce attorney with the records and files Morgan kept on various real estate transactions.  Taxpayer later retrieved these documents and delivered them to Ragland for his review which led to the discovery of Morgan's receipt of the kickback.

Significantly, Taxpayer expressly alleged in her divorce petition that Morgan might have incurred federal income tax liability, that he had concealed community property, and thus shouldTaxpayer had the burden of showing that on the date she filed her return, November 29, 1976, she did not know or have reason to know of the Singing Hills kickback.  As the Tax Court correctly noted, Taxpayer knew that Morgan had participated in real estate transactions during 1975.  As a licensed real estate broker familiar with the real estate business, she knew that Morgan's participation in those transactions would generate income in the form of commissions or fees.  Taxpayer testified that she knew of the Singing Hills development and that she visited the Singing Hills property with Morgan and Ragland on more than one occasion prior to the closing of the transaction.  She therefore knew or had ample reason to know that Morgan


cash.  She disputes the Tax Court's characterization of her life style as "comfortable and expensive," even though she testified that she and Morgan occupied a recently-purchased and fully-furnished home adjacent to a private country club golf course, drove relatively new automobiles and flew to Colorado for a winter vacation.  The life style she enjoyed during 1975 coupled with her own recognition that she had a personal gross income of only $3,819.00 and that she and Morgan were living beyond their means make it reasonable to conclude that she at least had reason to know that Morgan was supplementing the community coffers with income he had earned from transactions, including Singing Hills, which Taxpayer knew he had participated in during 1975.

Taxpayer also testified that Ragland's demands forreceived from Ragland concerning her husband's affairs, constituted reasonable cause for failing to file before April 15, 1976.  The Tax Court rejected her arguments and, with the following brief statement, discussed the basis for its decision sustaining Appellee's penalty assessment:

58
As stated earlier, petitioner knew, or should have known, that Morgan received income from his real estate transactions which should have been reported not only by Morgan but by herself as community income.  She was aware that a tax liability existed, as evidenced by a statement contained in her Petition for Divorce.  She also was aware of the income produced by her own real estate efforts.  While we sympathize with petitioner's plight and emotional distress, most (if not all) of the problems encountered by her


of the record demonstrates that the Tax Court's finding that the circumstantial factors which existed as of April 15, 1976 did not constitute reasonable cause is not clearly erroneous.  Taxpayer was a licensed real estate agent.  She had access to the books and records which would have enabled her to compute her tax liability since Morgan stored these materials in his office in their home.  She apparently made no effort to ascertain the correct income of the family and failed to begin to determine her own separate tax liability until after being contacted by an IRS agent in November of 1976.  In addition, she knew that she had earned a separate gross income from her own 1975 real estate activities and she possessed theCEC Grand Opening Today

A band of heavily pregnant Thoroughbred mares, including a badly crippled horse whose future is uncertain, was rescued from the New Holland Auction Feb. 29.

Four pregnant mares, most due to foal this month, and a fifth who is not pregnant, were rescued by Gerda’s Animal Aid, Inc. of Vermont, with the help of numerous charities and individuals who stepped up to offer foster farms and financial support, says Gerda Silver, of the Vermont-based nonprofit.

Working frantically for two days, Silver and other Thoroughbred advocates were able to join forces to buy back three horses who had already been purchased by meat buyers, and successfully outbid

Find out how Romania is responding to the measles crisis

Romania saw a sharp increase in cases from October 2016, and the trend has continued throughout 2017; in Italy, the increasing trend started in January 2017, while in Germany it began in February 2017; Greece has seen a measles outbreak starting in the second half of 2017, with 250 cases, including one death, reported in November 2017. This was an increase from 167 cases, including one death, in October and 127 cases in September.

Measles increasingly affects all age groups across Europe and in 2017, 44% of measles cases with known age were aged 15 years or older.

The latest available figures on vaccination coverage collected by


WHO (2016) show that the vaccination coverage for the second dose of measles was below 95% in 20 of 27 EU/EEA countries reporting second dose coverage data.

In order to achieve the measles elimination goal, the vaccination coverage rates for children targeted by routine vaccination programmes should increase in a number of countries, as the vaccination coverage of the second dose must be at least 95% to interrupt measles circulation and achieve herd immunity. This is particularly important to protect children below one year of age, who are particularly vulnerable to complications of measles but are too young to have received the first dose of vaccine.Peggy Prosser was sitting in front of a travel agent in Japan when she was abruptly informed that she would not be able to fly back to the United States to visit her family because she is deaf.

When Prosser sat down with him, she had written out her itinerary and given it to him.

Initially he had assumed it was because she couldn’t speak Japanese, but when it became clear that she was deaf, he wrote on a piece of paper that flying was not an option as she would be unable to follow safety instructions.

To Prosser this was nonsense — after all, she had come to Japan by air — and definitely not part of any guidelines for dealing with deaf people. It spoke more to the ignorance


in writing, especially in times of emergency. Verbal announcements to tell commuters why a train has been delayed, for example, may not be helpful for the deaf.

Despite positive moves in recent years toward equal opportunities and to encourage people with disabilities to participate more in society, Japan is still seen as lagging behind the United States and European countries.

The U.S., for instance, celebrated the 25th anniversary in July of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which bans discrimination based on disabilities in employment and transportation services, among other areas.

In April a new law takes effect in Japan banning discrimination by government organizations and companies against people with disabilities.

Under the new law, public organizations both at the national and local levels will be legally obliged to give “reasonable accommodations,” orOlympics in ASL.

Dale-Hench, 28, said encouraging Japanese students, especially those who can hear, to express their emotions when signing is a difficult part of teaching.

One of his students, Michiko Akimoto, a psychologist in her 30s, developed her interest in ASL after traveling to many countries, including the U.S., New Zealand, China and South Korea.

She believes learning a new sign language will open up more doors, and someday enable her to offer counseling services to foreigners who can’t hear.

“I want to continue studying and serve as a bridge for deaf people as the Tokyo Olympics (are) coming up,” Akimoto, who was born deaf, said through a sign language interpreter.

Foreigners like Prosser see a need for the tourism industry to cater more to the deaf population, as the 2020 games


The Championship is often described as ‘the toughest league in the country’ and is known as the hardest league to escape from. The race for promotion regularly goes down to the final day of the season, with three or four teams still in the hunt. However, this season, two teams have pulled away from the chasing pack and barring any unforeseen disasters will be joining the elite in the Premier League next season. This article will look at what has made Leicester and Burnley so successful this season.

Leicester’s success very much starts with having a solid defence. Compared to their opponents, Leicester are forced to make far less defensive actions per game – 164 to 204 – and when they do have to defend, they have a 38%– halfway between the touchline and the centre circle (with Lloyd Dyer even wider than that); whilst Burnley’s wide men almost play as extra central midfielders, with both players average positions being in the centre of the pitch. This suggests that Burnley like to dominate teams in the centre of the pitch using the class of Dean Marney and Michael Kightly, whereas Leicester prefer to use the pace of Lloyd Dyer and Anthony Knockaert to damage their opponents.

An interesting aside to note, despite Michael Kightly averaging such a central role, he averages by far the most crosses out of all the wingers on show. He also creates the most chances and averages the most dribbles amongst the wingers. He has undoubtedly been one of the best players in


for tax purposes of grain produced and held as inventory at various locations throughout Indiana. Pursuant to Regulation 16, Pioneer's seed grain was valued at two different amounts depending on whether it was stored at Pioneer's own facility or was in the hands of Pioneer's sales representatives.
Pioneer is unique in its method of production and marketing. At Pioneer's facilities in Indiana the grain is planted, harvested and conditioned. Unlike any other producer of agricultural products, Pioneer also assumes the role of retailing by distributing its seed grain to farmer-sales representatives *941 throughout Indiana to be sold in the farmer's area to Pioneer's customers. The sales representatives receive the seed and sell what they can. Title remains in Pioneer until it passes to a buyer. All seed unsold afterthe planting season is returned to Pioneer.
In 1981, Pioneer filed its Tangible Personal Property Tax Returns with the specific township assessors wherever its inventory was located. The value of the seed reported by Pioneer was the same regardless of whether such inventory was in the hands of its sales representatives ready for retail or being stored at a production facility. The Board rejected Pioneer's valuation on the basis of Regulation 16 which requires a producer who assumes the role of a retailer to value its inventory located at the retail level of trade differently than inventory not ready for retail. The Board assessed inventory located at Pioneer's facilities based on the cost per books method of valuation as originally reported. Each bag of seed corn, alfalfa, sorghum and

Another underrepresented group in the machine learning community is women, and it too has discovered a problematic representation in a commonly used machine learning tool. Word embeddings are representations of the proximity of association of words within big corpus of text.

The two most popular pre-trained word embeddings are Word2Vec and GloVe, trained on millions of wikipedia, google news articles and the like. And since they process language as it naturally occurs on the internet, they also show signs of gender bias as it occurs on the internet. Male names appear in much greater proximity to business and scientific professions, while female names in these models appear closer to teaching professions or simply homemaking related words.

Genesis of the inaccurate stories

There is no question that much of the original Washington Post report, dated April 3, 2003, (Lynch was captured March 23 and rescued April 1) is inaccurate.

There were two main inaccuracies in the original Post report:

The story said Lynch suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was stabbed. But doctors found no evidence of either.

Lynch "was fighting to the death," a U.S. official told the Post, and she killed several Iraqis. But Lynch’s weaponed was jammed, and she killed no Iraqis.

The Post reporting became the genesis "of a spate of stories that accepted the Post sequence of events," journalist


15, 2003, NPR interview . (The Lynch talk starts about 30 minutes in.)

Loeb described his sources as "some really good intelligence sources here in Washington." He said that after the information was proven to be false, the Post went back to reconstruct what happened. They found that the intelligence was coming from the battlefield and that U.S. officials had picked up on Iraqi "intercepts talking about a blind American firing back."

Intelligence officials, who could include a number of people working at a host of different agencies, interpreted that blind American to be Lynch.

Loeb was asked if he thought he was given the reports as part of an effort to mythologize Lynch.

"No not at all," said Loeb, who is now managing editor of the Houston Chronicle . "I’ve been, it's a big improvement. Even if the final result is basically Heather from Silent Hill.

ABC ending its Live Well network

Robert ChannickTribune staff reporter

ABC is discontinuing its Live Well digital network, a national lifestyle channel with Chicago roots.

Live Well Network features 24/7 home, fashion, food and health shows, with offerings such as “Live Big with Ali Vincent,” and “My Family Recipe Rocks,” hosted by former 'N Sync member Joey Fatone. It airs on the digital subchannels of all 8 ABC owned and operated TV stations, including WLS-TV in Chicago, and reaches 64 percent of U.S. households, according to ABC.

The network will end its run by mid-January 2015, according to an email sent to affiliates Monday by Rebecca Campbell, president of the ABC owned stations, and Peggy Allen, vice president of Live Well Network. There was no word as to replacement programming for thefinished seven minutes behind Hinault. When Schönbacher was near the finish, he stopped and kissed the road, before he crossed the finishline.

1980 Tour de France
The Tour de France organisers did not like the attention that last-placed finishers got, so for the 1980 Tour de France they added the rule that after some stages the last-placed cyclist in the general classification would be removedfrom the race. Still, Schönbacher managed to finish last.

Before the Tour, Schönbacher was promised by his sponsor that he would receive extra money if he finished in last place. After the last stage of the Tour, his team leader Patrick Lefevre told Schönbacher that he would not get the money, and after a heated discussion Schönbacher was fired.

Friedrich List, Henry C Carey, Eugene V Debs, Harry Hopkins, FDR's New Deal. These are your worthy white examples, Republic of Lakota! What do capitalists have to offer but the Godzilla creature that rules Wall Street. CAPITALISM murdered 200,000,000+ in the 20th century to satisfy the dictates of the banksters! Stalin and Mao were only middlemen. Stalin caused the deaths of millions in the Ukraine to steal the grain for the London bankers. Mao caused the deaths of millions by carrying out population control measures ORDERED to him by New York NGO's and bankers.

Don't be fooled by the fascist counterfeit of socialism. Don't be distracted by Fox News' false portrayals of socialism. New Deal populism with athat would give millions of undocumented workers in the United States guest worker cards allowing them to stay and work in the country for at least three years.

Fox, who has made immigration reform a high priority of his administration, has been lukewarm to the proposal but accepted it as at least a start. Now, with Bush scheduled to be his guest, Fox gets a chance to press for more. Bush, facing a potentially close election where the nation's Latino voters are of increasing importance, gets a chance to share a stage with Fox and show that he cares about an issue at the top of their agenda.

Briefing reporters about the trip Friday, national security adviser Condoleezza Rice said Fox and Bush are "well past" their disagreement over the


invasion of Iraq, which the Mexican leader opposed.

"They've had a couple of very good conversations," Rice said. "Obviously, we went through a difficult time about Iraq, but the relationship with Mexico is one of our most important, one of our closest. We are cooperating daily on border matters, on fighting narcotics, on fighting to make the borders more secure."

Not on the official agenda of the summit -- but very much on the minds of participants -- will be the continuing political turmoil in Venezuela, where President Hugo Chavez is resisting a referendum on his rule, and the tensions between the Bush administration and Argentina, whose close relationship with Cuba has angered Washington.

Bush is expected to meet with the new Canadian prime minister, Paul Martin, who is expected topress him on the US policy barring countries that opposed its actions in Iraq from getting prime reconstruction contracts. Bush is also scheduled to meet with Argentina's president, Nestor Kirchner, who asserted last week that Argentine policy would not be dictated by the United States.

Immigration, however, is expected to be a major subject of discussion. Latin American affairs specialists said leaders in the region are well aware of the election-year political stakes for the American president.

"They'll think that the trip is motivated more by domestic politics in the United States than by interest in Latin American affairs," said Fred R. Harris, former Democratic US senator from Oklahoma who is now a Latin American affairs specialist at the University of New Mexico. "It's really a delicate time."

Bush is scheduled


to arrive in the northern Mexico city of Monterrey this afternoon. His first meeting is with Fox, followed by separate meetings with the presidents of Chile and Brazil. He is scheduled to give a speech at the opening ceremony of the summit and is to end his day by joining Laura Bush at a dinner hosted by Fox and his wife.

Bush, who got 35 percent of the Latino vote during the 2000 election, traveled to Mexico on his first foreign trip as president. The trip was seen as a signal of closer ties the administration wanted to have with its southern neighbor.

Six months after Bush's trip to Mexico, in speeches on the South Lawn of the White House and before a joint session of Congress, Fox pushed theadministration to grant some type of amnesty to the millions of Mexicans who entered the United States illegally but whose work has become a vital part of the US economy. Members of Congress who supported changes in US immigration law said at the time that Bush was open to reform.

The Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, however, occurred a few days later and the administration's priorities changed dramatically. Security along the border between the United States and Mexico was beefed up significantly. Much to Fox's chagrin, the status of illegal immigrants from Mexico became a back-burner issue for an administration that saw preventing another terrorist attack as its main mission.

As the Bush administration made its case for war against Iraq as an extension of the war against terrorism, Fox


refused to sign on, deepening the rift between the two countries.

Steven Barracca, a Mexican affairs specialist at the University of Texas at El Paso, said Fox will be willing to let bygones be bygones. "The Mexican government is clearly pleased that the Bush administration is putting its focus back on immigration after 9/11 changed the administration's focus," Barracca said.

Unlike Bush, Fox -- elected to a single six-year term in 2000 -- does not face reelection. But after generations of often corrupt, one-party rule in Mexico, Fox is now coping with "legacy expectations," Barracca said.

"There were so many expectations, tremendous expectations, placed on the first opposition candidate elected in 70 years," Barracca said, "and by and large, people have been disappointed. He hasn't delivered on major immigration reform, whichwas one of his top priorities. He hasn't delivered on any type of major government reform, another top priority."

Rice said the Bush administration is willing to work with Congress and the Mexican government, but believes its immigration proposal is the best approach. "We do have to work with the Mexican government, as well, to make something like this work," she said. "But it is a very sound and feasible and reasonable proposal that finally addresses what has been a festering problem in the United States for a very long time."

In addition to changes in US law, Rice said Bush and Fox will talk about other ways to stem the flow of illegal immigrants into the United States.

"The broader discussion always has to be about why people are risking

Lawyers are challenging Indonesia's incorporation of the volatile Papua region into its territory in 1969 with a judicial review at the country's highest court.

A spokesman for a group of 15 Papuan lawyers, Agus Sumule, said Thursday the "Act of Free Choice" referendum violated Indonesia's Constitution because it was conducted in a way that grossly violated the human rights of Papuans.

The 1969 referendum, supervised by the U.N., was carried out in an atmosphere of heavy intimidation and only 1,026 Papuans were allowed to vote.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Arrmanatha Nasir said the Papua issue is "finished."

He said, "For us, Papua cannot be discussed anymore, Papua has been recognized internationally with the U.N.'s decision as part of Indonesia's territory."GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- A pair of brothers are headed to prison after police say a bank robbery note -- written on the back of a probation office form -- led them to the culprits of an October 2017 heist.

Sports Movie of the Week — ‘The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh’ [VIDEO]

After an off-season labor dispute that threatened the entire season, the NBA finally begins its 2011-12 schedule with five games on Christmas Day. One team you won’t find playing on that day: the Pittsburgh Pisces, the fictional team at the center of our Sports Movie of the Week: ‘The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh.’ This 1979 comedy starring NBA legend Julius “Dr. J” Erving was filmed when Erving, astrology and disco music were all at, or near, their peak of popularity.

Erving plays Moses Guthrie, the lone star on the Pittsburgh Pythons, who are the worst team in the NBA. While his talent is undeniable, Guthrie can’t get the team to gel around him and they eventually walk out.St. Charles.

Using a hand-free device, the motorist followed the white GMC from Elgin and told police he had witnessed it traveling all over the roadway, cutting across traffic sharply and almost drove into a ditch on several occasions.

Deputies caught up to the white GMC going west at Beith and Freeland roads in Virgil Township near Maple Park and began to follow it, also observing as it weaved back and forth in its lane, reports stated.

The truck swerved completely out of its lane and to go almost entirely in the eastbound lane while going through a curve, reports stated.

Fearing for the safety of other drivers, deputies pulled the truck over, reports stated.

residents who do call Sunset Park, Elmhurst and Flushing ‘Chinatowns’, said Richard Hourahan, curator and collections manager of the Queens Historical Society, “are just not thinking.”

“‘Chinatown’ as a term is a really big word used very, very generally,” said Peter Kwong, a distinguished professor of urban affairs and planning at Hunter College and a professor of sociology at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. Traditional Chinatowns, he added, have come a long way from the 1800s racially segregated slums housing unskilled minorities usually unable to speak English. These Chinatowns are now historic landmarks dotting cities from San Francisco to New York City.

In the 1960s, as an assistant professor with a political science PhD from Columbia University, Kwong was “uptown” Chinese. That’s the wealthier andand Elmhurst, which overlap into each other through distinctive Latino neighborhoods where Mexicans sell tacos under the bridge and El Salvadorians visit bakeries for pupusas.

“Wikipedia calls every Asian area Chinatown,” concluded Maggie Cai, 20, a lifelong resident of Sunset Park, and those who call any area like Sunset Park, Flushing or Elmhurst Chinatown are usually outsiders, according to John Choe, executive director of the Greater Flushing Chamber of Commerce and director of One Flushing, a nonprofit community economic center.

Flushing stretches from Northern Boulevard to the Long Island Expressway in a web dotted by cultural businesses including Korean, Bengali, Nepalese and Greek overlapping into Bayside. On top of that, said Choe, there has been an influx of ethnic Koreans from Chinese backgrounds, further blurring the lines in the distinctively


Chinese enclave, many of whose residents speak with northern Chinese accents including Tianjin and, more recently, southern dialects with new waves of immigrants from the Chinese province Fujian and Chinese city of Wenzhou. A 2013 survey by One Flushing counted 21 languages, including Russian and Tagalog, spoken throughout at least 400 Flushing businesses.

This diversity, said Hourahan, is what sets Flushing apart from Chinatown. As Kwong put it, Flushing is a more concentrated, singularly and distinctly ethnic enclave borne from late 1800s segregation. It is an example of New York’s status as a melting pot instead of just a city of socially segregated ethnoburbs like Chinatown and Little Italy.

However, Kwong finished, “Chinatown” is the shortest, most adequately casual term to describe Chinese enclaves like Flushing. As Choe puts it,Bangor Theological Seminary ponders its future as its last president is installed

The Rev. Dr. Robert Grove-Markwood was installed as Bangor Theological Seminary's 11th president during the seminary's opening convocation Saturday, Sept. 15, 2012. Photographed during BDN's interview with him Thursday, Sept. 13, 2012.

WATERVILLE, Maine — The Rev. Dr. Robert Grove-Markwood was installed Saturday as the 11th and final president of Bangor Theological Seminary during the opening of the school’s last convocation at First Congregational Church, United Church of Christ.

Grove-Markwood’s tenure will be the shortest of any president. He said Thursday that he would serve one year at the helm of the 198-year-old institution before the seminary becomes a very different kind of institution from what it has been for the past two centuries.

He will oversee the institution’s transition


he said. “But God has not abandoned us, just as God did not abandon Israel. God still has a dream for us. God still has a dream for this great community.”

That “dream” most likely will be focused on continuing education, the seminary’s newest president said.

Grove-Markwood has a long history with BTS, having received both master of divinity and doctor of ministry degrees from the institution. He also served as the institution’s director of admissions from January 1985 to June 1987. For the past five years before being named interim president, he was a member of the board of trustees.Covid-19. This trend affects multiple cities throughout the country and is a growing concern for an already disadvantaged community. Demand the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provide racial data so that officials can address this harmful disparity.

Donald Trump has claimed that he may withhold funding from the World Health Organization, jeopardizing recovery and containment efforts amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Blaming aid organizations for his own failure is totally indefensible. Demand that he guarantee the continued funding of the World Health Organization to protect the health of all the world’s people.

Firefighting foam that contains dangerous, cancer-causing chemicals may soon be phased out, thanks to research done by the United States Air Force. In addition, the Air Force agreed to work with communities contaminated with chemicals and clean


because their university has refused to close its campus. Many of these students have traveled during spring break, putting this small community at risk. Demand that Liberty University protect public safety and close their campus.

Power plants and factories are allowed to pollute more freely thanks to relaxed environmental regulations pushed through by the Trump administration under the cover of the Coronavirus pandemic. Sign this petition to protest the putting of polluters’ profits over human health.

President of Brazil Jair Bolsonaro has cruelly dismissed the danger of coronavirus to vulnerable Brazilians and insulted governors who are working to protect the people. Demand that he apologize for this shameful behavior and instead fulfill his responsibility to help all of his people.

A teen who tested positive for Coronavirus died after being deniedperfect image of a human being that she, for so long, had relied upon as a form of safety and comfort for her well being, and whom would be formed of the greatest aspects of all that she met. She broke up with the mental figment that had barricaded her from ever reaching out to someone of substance, as it had always seemed akin to the fairy tale image so ingrained in her perception of reality. She let go of her fear, and set herself and those who loved her free at last.”

Racism; misogyny; political lies; fear-mongering; and mudslinging have been abundant in this election cycle for sure–especially from the candidates of the two biggest political parties, Donald Trump (Republican) and Hillary Clinton (Democrat), in the United States.


however, is the fact that there are hundreds of seats in the House of Representatives and the Senate combined–both of which make up the bicameral House of Congress–up for a vote this year. This is where all of the laws and legislation for the United States is drafted and reviewed before being taken to the president for an approval or veto. This is where people from all over the nation send their concerns to their representatives or senators, in the hope that their voices may be heard and that a law in their favor may be passed. Many of the politicians whose seats are up for reelection are running again, and this has several citizens uneasy for several reasons. Not only have a bulk of these men andwere theatrically oriented. Betty thought Russ should go to work every day and carry a lunch box."

Betty would accompany Russ on visits to Lydia and Lucinda in San Leandro. "They never came to visit us, thank God." Betty didn't recall ever seeing a man present, so it is possible that Lydia's marriage to Howard Haywood had already ended. "They were rough people. They were not what you would call the elite." Betty described Russ's mother as "a rough housewife, a farm woman who lived and worked hard—she wasn't smooth at all. She would say that I was like a butterfly, that I was beautiful. She would make big compliments all the time, and you knew that she was trying to keep me as a friend of hers. I


me $200 and treated me like a lady." Meyer later brought this depraved tableau to life in the opening of 1979's _Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens._ *4

For Meyer, excitement now came in the form of motels, cameras, and exposed film. RM liked nothing better than to gaze upon some top-heavy wench caught in the slatted light of venetian blinds. "Smile for the birdie" was his constant mantra. Too much was not enough, nor would it ever be. This was a man with a big appetite, and everywhere he looked was something fleshy to bite.

In _A Clean Breast,_ Meyer documents each and every one of his conquests in mind-numbing detail. Can it all be true? Hard to say. RM's tales got bigger with every telling, and in maintainingper se is not obscene," a statement that certainly changed the rules of the game for the moviemakers like Meyer, and similar court cases were helping put state-run censor boards out of business everywhere.

Russ Meyer had arrived on Hollywood's doorstep at just the right moment to raise a ruckus. Meyer would bring increasingly higher budgets, a new level of technical sophistication, and a high-profile presence to the exploitation business. He'd be the link joining the exploitation world to the Hollywood studios. But first he'd birth a new sort of picture, called for obvious reasons the nudie-cutie, and this begat an entire genre known as the sexploitation film, unleashing new sexual freedom on the screen, not to mention the complete fury of those fire-and-brimstone types desperate to control what


and plays the old coot cowboy narrator. Meyer loved to people his films with crazy characters, and this film marks the first appearance of one of the oddest creatures RM ever exalted to celluloid stardom, the toothless, "banjo-bodied" Princess Livingston. One can only guess in what dark corner of the world RM found this broad. A horny old grandma and nuttier than a loon, Princess had a cackle like a stuttering foghorn and a gleeful, glassy stare. She also told the filthiest jokes imaginable. "She was funny as hell," said actor John Furlong, who'd work with her in 1965's _Mudhoney._ "I don't know if she had any acting experience. I think she was running a motel in Hollywood." Furlong recalled a memorable moment during a break on thethe point that exploitation pictures were by default somewhat less hypocritical than much of Hollywood's holier-than-thou product. Invariably these movies were cranked out by one person very quickly and for ridiculously low sums of money. Therefore you get to see what a time period really looked like and how men and women really treated each other. Nobody had the money or the time or maybe even the talent to hide anything. Meyer is perhaps unique in the exploitation business in that he crafts a very distinct fantasy world and yet you still get all of the above.

"My eyes bugged out of my head—we almost flew out of our seats," exclaimed author Rudolph Grey, vividly recalling seeing _Lorna_ 's trailer with a fellow teenager at the Brooklyn Terminal Theater.


emphasized a much more drive-in-friendly component: violence. No real story, just three young biker toughs terrorizing Anytown USA in a somewhat more salacious update of _The Wild One._ RM tapped into Middle America's growing youth-culture invasion anxieties with these sunglassed, amoral savages, their hepcat lingo and faithful transistor radio blaring one guitar-heavy doom tune.

 _Motorpsycho_ opens with a short boy-girl scene, its tension created by cross-cutting a handful of shots against a soundtrack that is silent but for three lines of dialogue, the squeak of a beach chair, and the _splunk_ of a fishing line into the water. Meyer sucks you right into his skewed look at a pipe-smoking fisherman who blissfully ignores his buxom young wife to concentrate on rod and reel. Intent on having her needshundred thousand miles to convert others to his anti-porno gospel. He was Richard Nixon's only appointee to the Presidential Commission on Obscenity and Pornography, and when the committee's report found attacking smut in the courts somewhat pointless, an angry Keating blocked its release until his and other commission members' dissenting opinions were tacked on in a huge appendix.

Charlie had first been enlisted in the fight by a local Catholic Church leader in 1956, and took to it with the Bible-thumping brimstone of a backwoods preacher, the kind Meyer had lampooned in _Lorna._ "I'm only one guy," intoned a solemn Keating. "It is not possible for me to do this alone. If the majority wants it, we'll have public decency." Charlie's first big victory: the conviction of an elderly


long shot. As Lucas recalled, "I put the godamn fright wig on and this Babette bra and away we went."

*4 Swofford's wife visited the set, and of course Meyer immediately put her to work moving gear with the crew. As Ken recalled, "We go out in the boat and Russ turns to me and he goes, 'Jesus Christ, you made a good choice. My wife can't lift _anything_!' That was how he rated her. A good lifter."

*5 A little observation on Meyer's women courtesy of John Waters: "They act like female female impersonators. I have never met a woman that just walks around acting like _that._ My favorite scene in _Good Morning . . . and Goodbye_ is where Alaina Capri's so horny she just drives to awhere performance was to be completed, a chattel mortgage upon the described trailer coach then located in Lexington, Dawson County, Nebraska, as security for payment of the note. A copy of such chattel mortgage, together with certificate of title to the trailer, was delivered to the county clerk of Dawson County on May 8, 1953, whereupon the chattel mortgage lien was noted upon the certificate of title. Copies of the note and mortgage were attached to and made a part of plaintiff's petition. Nevertheless, that defendant wholly failed to pay any part of even the first installment of $100 due June 15, 1953, whereupon, as provided in the note and mortgage, the entire balance became due and payable at once, the plaintiff elected to so declare the whole


and in June 1945, Eastern filed a plan under § 11(e).  Extended hearings were held, amended plans were filed, the evidence was reopened after the record had once been closed, and numerous participants filed statements of views, until at last in February 1950 the Commission issued its Findings and Opinion in which it concluded that Eastern's plan as amended could be approved if it were further amended to provide, among other matters, that Eastern would pay on the application of interested persons such fees and expenses in connection with its reorganization as the Commission should award or allocate.  Eastern amended its plan accordingly and the plan as modified was approved by the Commission.  The District Court ordered the plan enforced and it has been consummated.

Thereof $200,000 for the services of counsel, a financial advisor, several expert witnesses, and for miscellaneous items, which it had incurred in connection with its participation in Eastern's reorganization.  The Commission found that the amounts applied for were 'not unreasonable,' and for the protection of Koppers' stockholders approved its payment of these amounts.  But the Commission denied Koppers' application for reimbursement from Eastern.  It said that Eastern's recapitalization was required to simplify its capital structure and rectify an unfair and inequitable distribution of voting power, complexities created while Koppers had control of Eastern, and that since holding companies were charged by statute with bringing their systems into compliance with the terms of the Act, it felt that 'they should bear their own costs incurred in


that the interpretation of one of the Commission's General Rules and Regulations is involved.

18
F. C. Dumaine, Jr., had a direct or indirect interest in a substantial block of Eastern's 6 percent preferred stock when proceedings for its reorganization were initiated, and in 1946 he became a member of a committee duly qualified under the Commission's Rule U-62 to represent the holders of that issue of stock.  The Commission found that the Committee through its counsel and experts 'contributed materially to the proceedings and the development of the plan,' and that Dumaine worked closely with the Committee's counsel, 'was consulted on all major issues of the case, and performed many administrative duties in connection with the Committee's work.'  The Commission did not in any way intimate thatit thought the fee requested by Dumaine was excessive or unreasonable in view of his services.3  It nevertheless denied Dumaine's application for a fee on the ground of a sale of 200 shares of the 6 percent preferred stock made by Dumaine's wife while Eastern's reorganization was in process.  It found that Mrs. Dumaine had purchased these shares with her own funds in 1941, that she sold them with her husband's knowledge at a profit after the preferred stockholders' Committee was formed, and that she used the proceeds of the sale to 'reduce a bank loan made by her for the purchase of the family residence, thus benefiting her husband.'  This, the Commission said, constituted a violation of its Rule U-62(g)(2), quoted in material part


husband and wife are living together as a family unit, and on the further proposition that when a wife with her husband's knowledge trades in a stock represented by a committee of which the husband is a member, the husband cannot possibly be as disinterested in his role of committee member as one in a fiduciary capacity ought to be.  Cf. Helvering v. Clifford, 1940, 309 U.S. 331, 335-336, 60 S.Ct. 554, 84 L.Ed. 788.

PUTRAJAYA: Former Parti Keadilan Rakyat Youth chief Ezam Mohd Nor has no intention of joining another political party for now despite invitations from his friends in Umno and PAS. He prefers to concentrate on his role as chairman of the Movement for Democracy and Anti-Corruption (Gerak) to “highlight and fight” corruption in the country. Asked if he had been invited to join other political movements following his resignation from PKR, Ezam said: “Sort of, because I have many friends in Umno and PAS. And naturally, as friends, they have invited me to be with them. But my focus now is on Gerak.” On Tuesday, Ezam announced that he had quit PKR and accused his one-time political idol Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim of dictatorial politics. His


resignation took effect on April 4 but he had quit all his party posts in February. Yesterday, Ezam, as chairman of Gerak, handed a 632-page document to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi which contained allegations of criminal breach of trust and misappropriation involving a senior Cabinet Minister. The document, which according to Ezam took Gerak six months to compile, contained two police reports lodged against the minister made by a chief executive officer of a public-listed company in 1998, statements by the Malaysian Companies Commission as well as receipts and invoices amounting to millions of ringgit. Asked to reveal the identity of the minister, Ezam said he had made a verbal agreement with the Prime Minister’s Office not to name the individual. Ezam said he decidedand a government official,” she said.However, Manoj quizzed her as to how she knew Altantuya disappeared and did not follow up with Burmaa’s sudden revelation.About 20 minutes later, lawyer Karpal Singh, who is holding a watching brief for the deceased’s family, sought permission from the court to pose a question on the photograph.'They had the same name'This drew protests from the prosecution and a verbal exchange ensued on the relevance of the question. However, judge Mohd Zaki Mohd Yasin granted Karpal permission.The veteran lawyer then proceeded to ask Burmaa on what was depicted in the photograph.“She (Altantuya) was having a meal at a round table with Razak (Baginda), a Malaysian government official and other people,” she replied.Karpal then asked her on the identity of the government official, and


she replied: “I remember the name Najib Razak, they had the same name, ‘Razak’. I thought they were brothers. I asked her (Altantuya) if they were brothers.”This sparked off another exchange between the prosecution and Karpal before the judge dismissed Burmaa and directed the courtroom to stand down for 15 minutes.The next witness was lance corporal Rohaniza Roslan, 29, who had testified that the red Proton Wira aeroback - which was seen by Razak’s private investigator P Balasubramaniam as the car that took Altantuya away on Oct 19 last year - belonged to her.Examined by DPP Noorin Badaruddin, Rohaniza said she was off duty that night and was keeping Azilah company at the police headquarters in Bukit Aman.She and Azilah were a couple at that time.“Azilah had anassignment to escort the PM and DPM to Hong Kong but it was cancelled. So I was there to help him unpack his belongings,” she said.Rohaniza elaborated that Azilah received a call and later followed him to Bukit Damansara. She said she saw an Indian man talking to a “Chinese woman”.She told the court that she then moved to the back seat and the Chinese woman sat next to her.'Don't create trouble' According to Rohaniza, a man in a green cap then showed up, entered the car and Azilah drove them away before dropping the man off at a junction nearby.“He got out of my car, went into a green (Suzuki) Vitara and Azilah tailed him to a highway towards the direction of Bukit Aman.“It was then the


Chinese woman asked us who we were and Azilah told her “police”,” the Petaling Jaya-based officer told Noorin.She said Azilah told the Chinese woman not to create trouble at Razak’s house because he has a family at home and that she should find Razak at his office instead.Rohaniza who was tearing when she was asked to point Azilah out as she revealed that she has known Azilah since 1998 when she joined the police force.Two police officers - Azilah, 30, and corporal Sirul Azhar Umar, 35 - are charged with the murder of Altantuya. Razak, 47, is charged with abetting them.Prosecutors allege that Abdul Razak and Altantuya met in 2004 and began a whirlwind affair, during which he gave her money.After they broke up a year later, heallegedly continued to give her money whenever she demanded. But the payments stopped last year, prompting her to become dissatisfied and travel to Malaysia in October, the prosecution said.Altantuya was killed by ‘probable blast-related’ injuries in a clearing in Shah Alam after she was driven away from outside Abdul Razak's house in mid-October.All three accused faced the death penalty.

PETALING JAYA


(June 28, 2007): The High Court (Commercial Division) has held that Port Klang assemblyman Datuk Zakaria Md Deros committed a criminal act for holding and performing the role of a company director while a bankrupt.He was declared a bankrupt between Sept 10 and Nov 24, 1992, but continued to hold the post of director of Masmanis Sdn Bhd."A bankrupt who acts or continues to act as a director commits a criminal offence," said Justice Datuk Kang Hwee Gee in his oral judgment on June 21. The written submission was released yesterday.He was presiding over a summons brought by two secretaries of Masmanis against Zakaria, the Companies Commission and three others.Norakhmar Baharom and Lee Thai Thye had applied to the court for a declaration that Zakaria be removed asdirector effective Sept 10, 1992, and that all actions, dealings and transactions conducted by him as director are null and void.They also asked the court to declare that Lee Ming Leong, Tan Pei Choo and Hicks-woode Corporate Services Sdn Bhd (named as first, second and third defendants respectively) are not secretaries of Masmanis, as they were appointed by Zakaria (the fourth defendant).The plaintiffs wanted the Companies Commission (the fifth and final defendant) to remove from Masmanis' records all documents filed by Ming Leong, Tan, Hicks-woode and Zakaria.The judge held that by virtue of Section 125 of the Companies Act, the post of a director adjudged a bankrupt shall be automatically vacant."The fourth defendant had not vacated his position despite being adjudged a bankrupt. His incompetency may have a


over a litany of abuses, including building a mansion without planning permission and defaulting on assessment for over a decade.Later, it was learnt that during the two months he was a bankrupt, Zakaria was also a serving senator.

tunku : it is best that zakaria will not be elected again as an assemblyman.DS Khir Toyo should take this action so that in future there will be no other assemblyman who does not respect the law.he broke many laws and it will tarnish umno and bn image if he is fielded again.if he is elected again i have no words to say.

Lee police station, he had spoken to Amy (Burmaa Oyunchimeg) who requested him to make the report.Ang said he translated into Bahasa Malaysia for Namiraa in making the police report as she was


not proficient in English."She could only speak a few words of English. She said, `Altantuya no come back'," he said.Manoj: What did you tell the police when Namiraa said `Altantuya no come back'?Ang: I told the police that Altantuya had gone to the house of Abdul Razak and did not return.Ang admitted that the report was made in his own words but based on his knowledge and information given by Namiraa and also by Altantuya earlier.He said Altantuya's age and their room number at Hotel Malaya were given by Namiraa.Manoj: What about the second sentence in the report which reads, `On Oct 19, 2006 my friend received a call from an Indian man saying that her husband had asked my friend to go to No. 22, Jalan Setiajaya,are trying to do damage control following the resignation of their former Youth leader Ezam Mohd Nor and the devastating allegations he has made. PKR leaders such secretary-general Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim and information chief Tian Chua are keeping mum but Youth chief Shamsul Iskandar has come out strongly, calling Ezam “a traitor.” “He is like one of the main characters in the Chinese classic Romance of the Three Kingdoms – very courageous and daring but at the end of the day, he betrayed the kingdom. “Ezam has behaved like a traitor to our party and struggles,” said Shamsul. Ezam, who announced on Monday that he had quit the party, is the second high-profile resignation from PKR since the party congress last month. Former deputy president Abdul Rahman


Othman resigned to join PAS earlier this month. In resigning, Ezam had criticised Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim for allegedly practising dictatorial politics and said that vice-president Azmin Ali’s power and influence was detrimental to the party. Ezam, who was Anwar's former political secretary, was also unhappy with Azmin's control over Anwar on a number of political issues. Shamsul accused Ezam of behaving like a pawn of the ruling party. “He was committed to our struggle but now I suspect he is part of an agenda to undermine Datuk Seri Anwar and PKR with the general election so near. His motive is clear and his timing is perfect,” he alleged. Meanwhile, Selangor vice-Youth head Khairul Anuar said that if Ezam was sincere about reforming the party, he would haveleader anwar ibrahim.i agree that ezam is a traitor too.he is now negotiating with pas and umno. he has not decided which group to join. i believe if pas takes him than they will have some problems with anwar and pkr. if umno takes him than it's a bad luck for umno.

SHAH ALAM, June 26 (Bernama) -- The murder trial


of Altantuya Shaariibuu was told Tuesday that the record of the Mongolian model and two other Mongolian women entering Malaysia was deleted from the immigration computer system.Altantuya's friend, Uuriintuya Gal-Ochir, 30, testified at the High Court here that she faced problems at the KL International Airport on Nov 24 last year when exiting out of the country to return to Mongolia as there was no record of them entering Malaysia."There was no record of us (Altantuya, Namiraa Gerelmaa and Uuriintuya) entering Malaysia. They (the immigration officers) asked me how did I come to Malaysia, by sea or by car. So I showed my air ticket because it stated the day I entered Malaysia," she said.She said she was stranded at the airport for two hours and police officerstold her that she had entered Malaysia illegally. However, she said, she and Altantuya's father, Setev Shaariibuu, were then allowed to return to Mongolia.Uuriintuya, who testified in Mongolian language and translated to English by Mongolian interpreter, Enkhjargal Tsetsgee, had earlier told the court that she did not go back to Mongolia on Oct 26 last year, the same day as Namiraa, as she did not have her passport with her."I didn't go back (on Oct 26 last year) because I have no passport. My passport was kept by Altantuya in her bag and she (Altantuya) disappeared," she said, adding that she only returned to Mongolia on Nov 24 with Shaariibuu.Uuriintuya's evidence triggered murmurs in the courtroom following a question from Justice Datuk Mohd Zaki Md Yasin on which


day did she and Altantuya's cousin Namiraa left Malaysia for Mongolia.Mohd Zaki poised the question to Uuriintuya after DPP Manoj Kurup finished his re-examination on the fourth prosecution witness (Uuriintuya).Karpal Singh, who is holding a watching brief for Altantuya's family and the Mongolian government, then told the court that her evidence on the issue was important and he wondered whether the entry of the three people have been obliterated from the record.Counsel Kamarul Hisham Kamaruddin, the counsel for Corporal Sirul Azhar Umar, the second accused in the Altantuya murder trial, then stood up and told the court that he wanted to cross-examine Uuriintuya on the evidence as that part of the evidence did not arise from the examination-in-chief by Manoj.Kamarul Hisham said the witness went beyond to answerdid not want to leave the witness dock although she had been released as a witness.Instead she raised her hand saying that she wanted to say something to the court. However, her request was stopped by Mohd Zaki who told her to step down from the dock.Uuriintuya did not leave the witness dock but insisted that she wanted to make a statement. To this, Mohd Zaki then asked her why and Uuriintuya said there was no record of their entry to Malaysia via Beijing as well."It has been deleted. I wonder why our record entering Malaysia has been deleted?" she asked.At this juncture, Mohd Zaki told her "you have been finally allowed to leave Malaysia. Why are you complaining."Manoj then stood up and told the court that Uuriintuya


Abdul Razak Abdullah Baginda whom the Mongolian woman claimed was her husband.Ang Chong Beng, 56, said Altantuya, whom he knew by the name Amina, had asked him to find Abdul Razak's house and see whether her husband was in Malaysia or abroad.He also identified Altantuya or Amina when Deputy Public Prosecutor Manoj Kurup showed him her photograph.Ang, who was the fifth prosecution witness in the trial for Altantuya's murder, said that in September 2006, Altantuya contacted him by phone and asked him to meet her at Hotel Malaya in Kuala Lumpur.Manoj: "What's the purpose of Amina seeing you?"Ang: "She asked me to investigate her husband."Manoj: "Investigate what?"Ang: "Investigate whether her husband was in Malaysia or overseas."Manoj: "Did Amina tell you her husband's name?"Ang: "She did. Abdul Razak AbdullahBaginda."Ang, who gave evidence in Mandarin and was translated into Bahasa Malaysia by a translator, said he then agreed to assist Altantuya find the information required by the woman.When asked whether payments were made for his services, Ang replied: "She said she would give money when she arrived in Mongolia. On Oct 1, she said she deposited money into my bank, a total of US$600."Ang told the court that after the meeting at Hotel Malaya in September 2006, he met Altantuya again at the same place on Oct 9, 2006, and this time, Altantuya was accompanied by two other Mongolian women.He then identified the two women as Uuriintuya Gal Ochir and Namiraa Gerelmaa.Manoj: "The meeting on the ninth at Hotel Malaya, did Amina ask you to take her


anywhere?"Ang: "Amina asked me to take her to Abdul Razak's office in Jalan Ampang."Manoj: "Did you do it?"Ang: "I did. Besides Amina, two other Mongolian women who were with Amina and my assistant followed me."The witness then told the court that he sent the three of them in his assistant's car to Bangunan Lembaga Getah Asli (LGM) and left them there.Manoj: "On that day after taking the three women to Bangunan LGM, how long were they there?Ang: "We waited quite long from 9.30am to about 4.30pm."Manoj: "Waited where?"Ang: "Waited by the roadside in front of Bangunan LGM."Manoj: "How did you know they waited for seven hours?"Ang: "My assistant told me. He kept contacting me."Ang said Altantuya and her friends had asked him to send them to the buildingseveral times after the first time.Manoj: "Did you see the Mongolian woman entering the building?"Ang: "I did, once. I did not follow. I waited in the car. I saw her (Amina) taking a note to a guard to be given to Abdul Razak."Manoj: "Did you see the content of the note?"Ang: "No."Manoj then asked whether he saw two Indian men when he took Altantuya and her friends to the building. Ang replied: "At the time I saw only one Indian man, his name was Bala.Manoj: "Other than investigating whether Razak Baginda was in Malaysia or not, did Amina ask you to find other information?Ang: "No. She only told me to investigate where was Razak Baginda's house."Ang said that on Oct 12, 2006, he managed to find Abdul Razak's
