37 day hunger strike
after meeting with the Premier of Ontario, Dalton McGuinty. Michael
feels there is now a real prospect for change.

On
October 28, 2011, on day 30 of Michael Schmidt's hunger strike,
Conservative MPP Randy Hillier and Liberal MPP Greg Sorbara formed
a bipartisan group to pressure Premier Dalton McGuinty into meeting
with Michael.

On
October 6, 2011, Dalton McGuinty was re-elected as the Premier
of Ontario with a minority government, losing his former majority.
This creates an opportunity to bring additional political pressure
on the Premier because the opposition parties have enough power
to overturn any government position.

On
September 29, 2011, Michael Schmidt began a hunger strike which
will end if Premier Dalton meets with him to discuss the type
of raw milk that is fit for human consumption without commercial
processing.

On
September 28, 2011, the judge for Michael Schmidt's appeal reversed
Michael'searlier acquittal and found him guilty on 15 out of
19 charges. Click

announced her intention to appeal this verdict.

On
June 16, 2011, the judge for Michael Schmidt's appeal announced
a delay of his decision until September 16, 2011. He also mentioned
that his decision would be forwarded to the lawyers and no one
needs to come to court.

On
April 13, 2011 the appeal hearing of Michael Schmidt's successful
lower court decision took place. Arguments were permitted for
Charter rights. One important item was the confirmation of the
right of ordinary Canadians to consume raw milk but no practical
way for them to obtain it. The decision of the appeal court judge
will be made on July 8, 2011. For an excellent summary of the

On
January


21, 2011, the author of this website, James McLaren, appeared
for cross-examination in the appeal proceedings of Michael Schmidt.
Mr. McLaren represented consumers and their Charter right to consume
raw milk for health purposes.

On
December 17, 2010, the appeal court judge gave his permission
to include the charter arguments of two consumers in the appeal
of Michael Schmidt, one for health reasons and one for religious
reasons. Because the judge was late with this decision and because
the prosecution wishes to cross-examine the new witnesses, the
date for the appeal hearing was delayed.

On
October 21, 2010, we attended the Ontario Court of Justice for
pre-trial planning for Michael Schmidt's appeal. The judge decided
he would try both the cow-sharing and the charter issues together
in the appeal. He also heard arguments for and against the expansion
of the number of charter argumentsto be considered at the appeal
and will release a summary decision on this matter by mid-November
and a full ruling on December 2, 2010.

On
October 14, 2010, we formally requested the assistance of the
Ontario Ombudsman to compel the Ontario Farm Products Marketing
Commission to perform their statutory duty of conducting research
into dairy production procedures that would produce raw milk of
sufficiently high quality that it could be safely consumed raw
without pasteurization, unlike the current procedures which require
pasteurization for milk to be consumed safely. Click

On
January 21, 2010, Michael Schmidt won at court. He was acquitted
of 20 charges of selling and distributing raw milk. His cow-share
program was found to be a legal way for consumers to obtain a
legal product, specifically raw milk. Click

A woman drove to the La Crosse police station earlier this week and turned her husband in for annoying her, according to the La Crosse Tribune.

An officer was about to stop a black SUV after noticing a burned-out headlamp when the woman pulled into the parking lot outside La Crosse police headquarters and said she wanted to drop off her husband because he was "talking stupidly" and swearing.

The husband, 53, was arrested on a warrant from a felony drunken driving conviction, the newspaper says. His wife received a warning for the headlight.

Meanwhile, two of the following four – Bryan Smolinski, Sergei Nemchinov, Craig Janney and Joe Sacco – could go today. The problem is, only Smolinski has drawn mild interest.

Yesterday, Milbury called Ziggy Palffy’s agent, Paul Kraus, to inform him he won’t be traded and the team is building around Palffy, defenseman Kenny Jonsson and goalie Felix Potvin, the latter of whom has allowed Milbury to entertain offers for former first-round pick Roberto Luongo.

was to be delivered on or before March 30, 1979.  Charter hire was payable at a daily rate beginning on the date the vessel was delivered at Houston, the first 24 days hire to be paid in advance by Empac.  Empac assured Goodpasture that Empac was authorized by Negocios to sign freight prepaid bills of lading on behalf of the master.  Receipt of this authority from Negocios was confirmed by Empac's Houston agent.

The vessel arrived at Houston about a week late, when Negocios tendered the vessel to Empac and demanded prepayment of the first 40 days charter hire.  Between April 6 and April 11, 1979, Negocios repeatedly demanded payment of the charter hire.  On April 11, 1979, Empac assured Negocios that the moneypaid in advance.  The next day, Negocios informed Goodpasture that it would not issue freight prepaid bills of lading until it received payment in full for the proposed voyage, plus bunkers, port charges, and costs for passing the Panama Canal, suggesting that Goodpasture advance these funds.  Goodpasture declined on the ground that it was not obliged to finance Negocios or Empac under either law or charter party.  Goodpasture then filed this suit for conversion against M/V POLLUX, Negocios and Empac to prevent the POLLUX from sailing from Houston with Goodpasture's grain, causing the United States Marshal to seize the POLLUX on the same day.  The vessel still remains under seizure.  Goodpasture claimed that it was entitled either to the execution of "freight prepaid"


A collection of nine poems and four short stories. The poems confront love, romance and the human condition in the modern world. The short story "Blonde" presents the conflicted desires and doubts of a young, mismatched couple attempting to escape themselves during one wild night. The short story "Chlorine" captures the moment when love, patience and desire find each other under the summer sun at a Midwestern public pool. "Bartender" examines lust, regret and the memories of youth while "Patriot" is a thriller that questions motives and patriotism.The mass arrival of cane toads in the delicate Kimberley region of Western Australia is the biggest environmental disaster to ever hit the region, Premier Colin Barnett says.

The Kimberley Toad Busters group, which claims to have captured more than 2.8 million cane toads in the Northern Territory and WA since 2005, says distinct flora and fauna is now under major threat.

The pests have begun marching south towards Broome and are endangering freshwater crocodiles, goannas, turtles and quolls, and many other native animals.

Mr Barnett said the spread of cane toads, which are estimated to have infiltrated about 50 per cent of the Kimberley in the past three years, was an environmental tragedy.

"It is an absolute tragedy, from a species introduced into Queensland and that has spread across," Mr Barnett


told ABC radio on Wednesday.

"Despite valiant efforts by government and volunteers the procession continues on. It will destroy much of the native flora and fauna.

"The state government has had a program underway where many of the endangered species, both plant and animal, have been transferred to the islands off the Kimberley so at least they will survive.

"But it has been the greatest tragedy for the Kimberley we could have ever imagined."

The species was introduced into Queensland in 1935 and it has taken several decades to get this far west.

KTB founder and president Lee Scott-Virtue said the first toad arrived just east of the famous Bungle Bungles about a fortnight ago, and were expected to reach Kalumburu at the same time they reached Broome.

AAPHighway 9 was first assumed into the provincial highway system on February 26, 1920 as the Arthur–Kincardine Road. It was extended to Cookstown in the early 1930s via Orangeville and Shelburne, creating a short lived concurrency with Highway 10. In 1937, the road between Orangeville and Schomberg was designated part of Highway 9. The concurrency was discontinued, and the remainder became Highway 89. In 1965, Highway 9 was extended to Newmarket along Davis Drive.

Contents

Highway 9 begins at the edge of Kincardine near the eastern shoreline of Lake Huron. The roadway continues west past Highway 21 to the lake as Broadway Street. To the east of Highway 21, the highway travels along a concession road for 40 km (25 mi), through the Saugeen Conservation Lands to the town of


Walkerton. Within Walkerton, Highway 9 turns south at a junction with Bruce County Road 4. It travels south to the village of Mildmay, where it curves to the south-east. The highway continues in this direction through the villages of Clifford and Harriston, forming the centre of a thin band of farmland oriented at a 45-degree angle to the surrounding land. In the centre of Harriston, Highway 9 ends at a four way junction. Highway 89 travels north-east from this location, while Highway 23 travels south-west. Highway 9 formerly continued south-west, but is now known as Wellington County Road 109 past this junction.

At Highway 10 in Orangeville, Highway 9 resumes and travels east to Highway 400, crossing the Niagara Escarpment along the way. The highway once continued east toYonge Street in Newmarket, but this section is known as York Regional Road 31. Highway 9 ends at an interchange with Highway 400. A commuter parking lot is provided for carpooling.

The portion of Highway 9 between Kincardine and the junction with Yonge Street in Walkerton was built originally as the Durham Settlement Road or Durham Road for short. The Durham Road was surveyed and constructed between 1849 and 1851. It extended from the border between present-day Grey Highlands, Grey County and Clearview, Simcoe County, south of Singhampton, through Flesherton (on the then Toronto–Sydenham Settlement Road, today Highway 10), Durham (on the Garafraxa Settlement Road, today Highway 6, and one reason the road took its name), Hanover and Walkerton to Kincardine.[3][4]
The western section from Kincardine to Walkerton is today


Highway 9, and the other sections to the east were at one point part of Highway 4, and today Bruce County Road 4 and Grey County Road 4.[5]

On February 26, 1920, the Arthur–Kincardine Road was designated as a provincial highway. It connected what would become Highway 6 with Kincardine, on the shores of Lake Huron. In August 1925, the road was numbered as Highway 9, alongside the other existing provincial highways. The route was extended to Cookstown in the early 1930s. The road between Arthur and Orangeville was assumed as part of Highway 9 on March 12, 1930; the road between Shelburne and Cookstown was assumed on May 27, 1931.[6]
The two roads were connected by creating a concurrency along Highway 10. On February 10, 1937, the road betweenOrangeville and Schomberg was designated part of Highway 9.[7]
To alleviate the forked path of the highway, the concurrency with Highway 10 was discontinued and the road between Shelburne and Cookstown was renumbered as Highway 89. By October 1963, Davis Drive was built west of Newmarket, across the Holland Marsh to Schomberg. On July 23, 1965, Highway 9 was extended to Newmarket along Davis Drive, bringing its total length to 191.7 km (119.1 mi).[8]

A long-standing issue through most of the history of Highway 9 is the Orangeville Bypass. In the 1960s, the Highway 10 bypass was constructed. At the same time, Highway 9 was rerouted from its straight route to meet the new bypass, creating Buena Vista Drive as a result. Starting in 1978, numerous plans were formulated for


a southern bypass of Broadway, none of which came to fruition.[9][10]
Orangeville eventually resorted to constructing the road themselves, completing several kilometres before local Member of Provincial Parliament and premier Ernie Eves contributed C$7 million of provincial funding to the project.[11]
The 6.8 km (4.2 mi) bypass was finally opened to traffic on August 3, 2005.[12]

On January 1, 1998, the province transferred sections of Highway 9 between Harriston and Orangeville to Dufferin County and Wellington County, creating a 67.7 km (42.1 mi) gap between sections of the highway. This transfer has been widely contested since it took place, often used as an example for the hastily executed highway transfers in Ontario.[13][14]
On September 1, 1999, the Regional Municipality of York assumed responsibility for the section of Highway 9 between Highway 400and Yonge Street.[15]

Our day camp program is a very active outdoor program for children who are entering first through eighth grade. In the spring of 2012 a mom came to me and asked if we could try having her nine year old step-son attend camp. He would be at their home for two weeks in the middle of summer and they were looking for activities for him to be involved in. The only issue was that he is legally blind; he uses a white cane, and has porcelain eyes. We agreed to let Elijah try camp and felt like our staff would make every effort to provide a great experience for him. Elijah showed up for his first day and was quickly welcomed and accepted by the other youth. Oneof the morning activities is a two-mile run that we do with the children who select that option. Those who chose to pass on the run, do either a shorter walk or a two-mile walk.

Eli wanted to do the run. The trail system at Weldon Springs where Camp Osage is held is a rough, wood-chipped or grass trail. It has roots and mole hills and is not a smooth concrete path. A couple of our campers allowed Eli to place his hand on their arm and they talked him through the run. He continued to be involved in activities throughout the day with the other campers functioning as his eyes. At one point Eli stated to a group of girls who were sitting near him, “Wow, I’m really

LINDER LEARNS A VALUABLE LESSONTwo Rivers YMCA (Moline)

Linder was selected to join Y Solutions at Edison Jr. High School when he was in 7th grade. According to his Y Solutions Coordinator, middle school was a struggle for Linder. He had a hard time with authority figures and had a habit of saying things that would get him in trouble. The first year he was in Y Solutions he didn’t get to go on a trip to a Bulls game with the group because he was acting inappropriately at school. He learned a lesson quick that to succeed in Y Solutions he needed to change-and he did. He is currently a sophomore at Rock Island High School and has continued to be Y Solutions every yearsince Edison Jr. High School. He currently keeps his grades above average. He also plays football for Rocky and was placed up on the varsity team this past season.

He has learned through the Y Solutions program to do the right thing and make good choices. He has been guided by the Y Solutions Coordinator to get it together and you will see success. Linder knows Y Solutions helped him get on the right path in middle school and he is successful today because of it.

DAN UNDERSTANDS HARD WORK PAYS OFFQuincy Family YMCA

Dan joined the Y in 2005 so he and his family would have a place to exercise. Since joining, he has found that the Y is more than a gym. Over the years, Dan has participated


in fitness & exercise classes, been a Strong Kids volunteer and donor, and taken part in the Annual Thanksgiving Turkey Run. His family is involved with youth sports, take swim lessons and use the pool for recreation time on a regular basis. Along with an active way to spend time with his family, Dan has found the motivation to improve his health and wellbeing.

Since the beginning of 2012, Dan has lost 25 pounds through diet and exercise changes. He has also dramatically reduced symptoms of disc problems in his back. “I know this is a direct result of the core exercises I have been doing in the kettle ball suspension and the cross fit classes I have been taking.

big barrier to promoting higher performance and lower power consumption of the MOSFET. Accordingly, research and development is proceeding with the aim to thin a film thickness of an effective gate insulating film and to control the tunneling current to within the permissible values.
One of them is a method of adding nitrogen into a silicon oxide film to thereby increase dielectric constant more than that of a pure silicon oxide film, and to reduce a film thickness of an effective, namely, electrical gate insulating layer without thinning a physical film thickness. Fabricating techniques of such a silicon oxynitride film include a method of making high-temperature heat treatment of the silicon oxide film in gas containing nitrogen such as ammonia (NH3) to thereby introduce the nitrogen into the silicona surface side has been studied in recent years. In the technology applying this plasma, it is possible to control nitrogen concentration of an interface to a lower level and to minimize electrical characteristic deterioration caused by the aforementioned nitrogen. However, relative dielectric constant of a pure silicon oxynitride film is only twice as many as that of the silicon oxide film, and higher dielectric constant of an insulating film by nitrogen addition to the silicon oxide film has limitations. Thus increasing the relative dielectric constant to not less than 10 is impossible in principle.
Accordingly, as the next-generation technology in which the device miniaturization is moving ahead, an attempt is further being made to adopt thin film materials with relative dielectric constant of not less than 10, or

The show was unfortunately cancelled after 13 episodes, leaving us with so many unanswered questions.it was some 300 feet from him and was then about one half its width on the west shoulder of the highway. Gilbertson testified that when he first saw the Bauman car he had gone by Olson and had returned to his own proper lane, the east lane of the highway, and had been there for three or four seconds before the collision. Gilbertson was then going about 55 miles per hour. He *631 did not know how far back of him Olson was when Gilbertson returned to his proper lane. The driver of an automobile which was following the Bauman car and observed it at all times material, testified that the Bauman car was in its own proper lane, the west lane, until the Gilbertson truck was


200 feet away. Then Mrs. Bauman turned onto the west shoulder and stayed there for about 40 feet. Then her car made a quick turn to the left, came diagonally across the cement highway and struck the Gilbertson truck on the truck's left side. The shoulder was covered with loose gravel. There is no proof of the exact spot of the highway where the first contact was made.
The testimony permits a jury to find that Mrs. Bauman approached the Gilbertson and Olson automobiles while she was in the west or southbound lane; then she saw Gilbertson come out from behind Olson's car and invade the west lane. Her speed was approximately 50 miles per hour, which was the speed of the Olson car which Gilbertson was passing. Thecombined opposing car speeds exceeded 100 miles per hour. Confronted by a situation where both highway lanes were occupied by the northbound automobiles, she took to the west shoulder and struck the loose gravel there. That deprived her of control of her automobile, which then angled sharply across the road to strike Gilbertson's truck.
Mrs. Bauman's car bounced back somewhat from the collision. She slumped over the wheel, her automobile was in gear and came forward again under its own power for a short distance.
Gilbertson's truck by then was occupying the east lane and Olson put on his brakes and turned into the west lane. He had brought his car almost to a standstill when it made contact with the Bauman automobile. That contact was very slight. It did


did not get completely out of the west lane and into the east lane before the Bauman car hit him. Mrs. Bauman's automobile was out of control and she would have struck the Gilbertson truck in whichever lane it could be proved the collision occurred. Having lost control through no fault of hers, there was no negligence on her part, regardless of where the collision occurred.
The evidence also sustains the verdict that Olson was not guilty of any causal negligence. He, too, was confronted by an emergency not due in any respect to his own negligence. The evidence sustains the verdict that Gilbertson's causal negligence was 100 per cent.
Gilbertson requested a question in the verdict whether Olson was negligent in management and control and in lookout "at andimmediately prior to the collision." The court asked the question somewhat differently and framed the question thus:
"Just before the collisions was the defendant Olson negligent with respect to:
"(a) Lookout just before the first collision?
"Answer: No.
"(b) Management and control just before the second collision?
"Answer: No."
*633 Gilbertson accepted that form of verdict without objection but now says that the inquiry should have been made about the two collisions. His request referred to "the" collision. It was at least ambiguous and was evidently understood by the court to refer in management and control to the collision in which the Olson car participated, the second collision. The court might well consider that the instruction given complied with Gilbertson's request, particularly when Gilbertson made no objection to that interpretation. Now he says the


His counsel says that Olson had as much opportunity, or even more, to see Bauman as Gilbertson had. That could only be true at the time when Olson was ahead of Gilbertson in the east lane. When Gilbertson pulled out far enough to determine that he had a clear road ahead of him and at all times thereafter, which are the material times, Gilbertson had at least equal opportunity to see everything ahead of him in the roadway. And when Gilbertson cut back toward the east lane Gilbertson's opportunity for lookout ahead was much better than Olson's, for during the time when Gilbertson was passing from the west to the east lane his truck would necessarily be obstructing Olson's view of the road ahead of him.
*634 Gilbertson contendsthat the award of $16,000 is excessive for the injuries which Bauman sustained. They include injury to both knees and his ribs, all of which were broken on one side. These will cause permanent pain and will impede him in his work as an automobile mechanic. He received a fractured skull, surgery was required in nailing together the parts of one of his broken legs with attendant pain and suffering, and hospitalization for eighteen days. He had to use crutches for two and one-half months and now has a permanent limp. Bauman's life expectancy was 16.40 years at the time of the trial. The court and jury saw the plaintiff and heard the testimony concerning his injuries. The jury made the award and the trial court approved it.


               FACTS

Events Precipitating the Lawsuit

       At around 1:00 a.m. on January 19, 2008, Samuel Pinto and Carlton Benson drove
to a 7-Eleven located at 1519 N. Gaffey in San Pedro in a white van. Pinto was the driver
of the van and parked directly in front of the store in a 10-minute parking zone. Pinto
and Benson purchased beer, cigarettes, and soda. After departing the store, they
remained parked in the van for a few minutes. Pinto and Benson may have been drinking
alcohol and/or smoking marijuana in the van. While Pinto and Benson were parked in
the lot, a group of approximately 10-15 people, including Francisco and plaintiffs Jamie
and Jorge, arrived at the7-Eleven in a limousine bus. The bus was parked on Capital
Drive, north of the 7-Eleven. Gene Solano and Delilah Smith got out of the bus, went
into the 7-Eleven, and almost immediately exited the store. On their way out, they had a
brief verbal exchange with Pinto and Benson. Neither Pinto nor Benson got out of the
vehicle. Upon returning to the bus, Solano and Smith warned the rest of the group that
the men in the van might cause trouble. Jaime and Jorge left the bus and could hear
yelling or arguing as they walked across the parking lot. When Jorge was making his


                 2
purchases, he saw commotion and arguing in front of the store and could clearly see
people in the van, which was still parked in front of the store.1 He noticed the store clerk
looking out the window. Shortly thereafter, Pinto backed his van out of the parking space
and idled it, facing the group on the bus. Members of the group said that Pinto briefly
jumped out of the van and then got back in. Three minutes later, Pinto drove forward,
toward the group. He quickly reversed the van and then drove into the group, hitting both
Jorge and Francisco. Jorge was injured as a result. Francisco was killed almost instantly.
Pinto fled the parking lot, dragging Francisco‟ssteps to avert . . . Pinto‟s actions, failing to notify police
of criminal activities, failing to avert possible imminent fights, preventing loitering in its
parking lot, failing to warn patrons that they were in danger of substantial and increased
risk of bodily injury at the premises, having a policy and practice of ignoring criminal
activity on its premises, failing to provide adequate security, and failing to otherwise
exercise due care.”
       On February 23, 2011, defendants answered the second amended complaint,
denying the allegations and asserting numerous affirmative defenses. These included
failure to state a cause of action, intervening and superseding causation, and lack of
causation.
       On August 12, 2011, defendants filed their motion for summary judgment, a
separate statement of undisputed material facts, lodging


of Robert Gardner, and the declaration of Lynda
Kim.
         On January 3, 2012, the trial court granted defendants‟ motion for summary
judgment. The court found that defendants did not owe a duty to protect plaintiffs from
harm and that plaintiffs failed to raise a triable issue of material fact as to the element of
causation. Additionally, the court overruled the majority of plaintiffs‟ evidentiary
objections.
         The trial court admitted the untimely supplemental declaration of Israr and the
declaration of Abrar.
         On January 24, 2012, judgment was entered in defendants‟ favor. Notice of entry
of judgment was served on January 30, 2012. A timely notice of appeal from the
judgment was filed onat issue since November 1, 2004. He had never witnessed or
been advised of any similar violent incident prior to the one at issue. He had never
received a complaint from any person, business, or regulatory agency regarding safety
issues with the store. He had not witnessed any violent tendencies on the part of Pinto,
Benson, Jorge, Jaime, Francisco, or any other individual in the bus group prior to the
incident.
       Israr further declared that he arranged to obtain the surveillance footage from the
store‟s security camera recorded on the night of the incident. He was familiar with the
procedures for obtaining copies of the surveillance footage. He explained that the
surveillance footage sequenced images from one camera inside the store and one camera
outside the store on January 19, 2008,

They left the store within 30 seconds. Solano and Smith had a verbal exchange with
Pinto and Benson that lasted less than a minute. They were at a distance from the van,
and neither Pinto nor Benson got out of the van. At 1:55 a.m., Pinto backed the van out
of the parking space and idled it facing in the direction of the bus group. The group was
not visible in the surveillance footage. Three minutes later, Pinto drove the van in the
direction of the bus group.take
place. There is no indication that Pinto and Benson were acting suspiciously or
aggressively when they entered the 7-Eleven and made their purchases. After leaving the
store, they remained in the van and in the parking space for only a few minutes. The
verbal exchange that took place between Solano and Smith and Pinto and Benson lasted
less than a minute, and there were no outward signs that the exchange was hostile. The
parties were many feet apart for the entire exchange, and neither Pinto nor Benson exited
the van. After this short span of time, Pinto backed the van out of the parking space and
appeared to be leaving. Shams was behind the counter assisting a customer when the
incident occurred. No one previously alerted him to the possibility that Pinto and Benson
were drinking alcohol


and smoking marijuana or acting aggressively toward other
customers. No one in the bus group expressed concern for their own safety or for the
safety of anyone in their group. There was simply no warning that Pinto, who was in the
parking lot for less than 10 minutes and had not had a visible hostile interaction with

reverse, accelerate a second time, and then run over people in the group, even ifman and several of his friends. There were two security
guards at the restaurant—one inside and one outside. Delgado‟s wife talked to the guard
inside about the staring and expressed concern that there might be a fight. The guard also
observed the tension between Delgado and the other men and became concerned that a
fight might break out at any minute, so he asked Delgado and his wife to leave. The

Poppy Cleall (right) celebrates her try

Autumn internationals England (15) 27 Tries: Davies (2), Cleall, Smith, Scott Cons: Daley-Mclean Canada (7) 19 Tries: Tessier, Alarie, Holtkamp Cons: Miller, Harvey

England needed two late tries to secure victory over a resilient Canada at Castle Park in Doncaster.

Two tries from Lark Davies and one from Poppy Cleall gave England a comfortable lead within the first half hour.

Canada's Alex Tessier scored just before half-time, and they went within three points with a breakaway try from Elissa Alarie.

But tries from Kelly Smith and Abbie Scott stretched the lead before Courtney Holtkamp's late consolation.

"Canada really put it to us and we had to find ways to score," said Davies. "To come away with a win is massive for us but we've still got lots offive Saracens players in the starting line-up, bundled over in similar fashion.

But with Lucy Attwood missing all three conversion attempts, Canada narrowed the deficit with a converted try in stoppage time when centre Tessier collected a deft chip from fly-half Anais Holly to touch down.

England's Kelly Smith touches down for her side's fourth try, shortly after chasing in vain to catch Canada try scorer Elissa Alarie

England camped in Canada's half for much of the second half but conceded against the run of play when Alarie intercepted a pass just in front of her own try line. Canada's captain raced downfield and just evaded England winger Smith to touch down in the corner for a try that Brianna Miller failed to convert.

But Smith showed no signs of her long


chase when showing great strength to go over for England's fourth try, collecting a fine pass from Rachael Burford to go over just inside the corner.

Scott put the result beyond any doubt with a try reminiscent of the first half when the lock, helped by impressive substitute Zoe Alcroft, charged over under the posts but Canada lock Holtkamp gave the visitors a deserved consolation from close range in stoppage time.

Reaction

England coach Simon Middleton: "It was really tough. Canada brought exactly what we knew they would do - physicality and a good engine.

"They got a well-deserved try at the end. They played a good offloading game, they asked lots of questions and we answered most of them but they just got us at the end.

"The experience we have inthe pack against the inexperience we had in the backs showed today. The youngsters will learn a lot from this and that's where you need your senior players to stand up and they did.

"When Katy Daley-Mclean came on we got into our groove a bit. I was pleased with that because I wanted the crowd to see what we're about."

As they built up, the office was ghetto. Christina Brodbeck, a designer at YouTube said:

The place was infested with rats. Giant rats — like the size of cats! I remember sleeping in the office one night on this old slip-covered sofa, and you could hear the rats crawling around in the wood rafters.

Peri weakens the Master's control over Kamelion, and Kamelion instructs her to remove the comparator circuit from the Tardis, immobilising it. She flees onto Sarn, seeking the Doctor pursued by Kamelion now once again in the control of the Master. The Doctor & Turlough meet the rebel unbelievers who show them some underground tunnels filled with equipment from Trion but the Doctor recognises that the tunnels are volcanic vents and the equipment indicates an eruption is imminent. The Rebels take them to Malkon, the chosen one, who tells them of how he was found in fire nearby and shows them the


brand of the chosen one on his arm: the Misos Triangle. Turlough reveals to him he has the Triangle to and together they go to where Malkon was found, the ruins of a crashed ship from Trion that Turlough believes is his Father's ship. Peri finds Turlough & Malkon and tells them that Kamelion is under the Master's control causing them to start back to the Doctor. Timanov returns to the village with the Kamelion Master, who Timanov believes is Logar's Outsider, and orders that the Doctor and Rebels be burnt in the fire.

So Turlough is from the planet Trion, as are at least some of those on Sarn. But what does the Misos Triangle represent? And why had the Master, whose Tardis we see on Sarn, hadKamelion come here? The story is ticking on quite nicely with the threat of a volcanic eruption rumbling in the background to provide some urgency.

This is director Fiona Cumming's fourth Doctor Who story. When her third, Enlightenment, was postponed due to strike action in late 1982 she and her husband took an impromptu holiday to the island of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. She reported back on the stunning scenery resulting in it being used as Doctor Who's Third overseas location serving as both itself and the planet of Sarn. Another person affected by the strike was this story's writer Peter Grimwade who lost his last directing gig on the show because of it and, as detailed previously, ended up falling out with the producer as a result


of a misunderstanding following the cancellation of the final story for season 20. This is a huge shame for the program as his early 1980s efforts show him to be easily the best director the show had had for a long time. Planet of Fire is his last script for the show and he died of Leukaemia on 15th May 1990.Mount Vernon, OH µSA

Nikesh Arora, Google's Top Business Executive, Is Out — Google's Q2 earnings are out, but the real news is at the top of the company's org chart: Nikesh Arora, the company's longtime sales boss, is out, and headed to a top job at tech conglomerate SoftBank. He'll be replaced, at least temporarily, by Google veteran Omid Kordestani.an apparent reference to a sexual act.

He also has some variation of 69 tattooed numerous times on his face, stomach, arms and fingers.

The promoter from The Trap Club, who also asked not to have his name published, said he has a binding contact with the rapper and he's already been paid for his performance. He would not disclose the amount.

There have been 250 tickets sold for the event, said the promoter.

Tickets are going for $30-$45 on Eventbrite, which bills the performance as "the hottest teen party in the US."

"He's been selling out in other boroughs at teen events, and there have been no issues," he said. "We can't pull the contract. He's coming in to do his set, then leaving."

SEX CASE

In 2015, Hernandez, then 18, posted three videos


of him, another man, Taquan Anderson, and an underaged girl engaging in sex acts on social media, according to allegations in the criminal complaint.

In the first video, the nude girl is performing oral sex on Anderson, then 21, while Hernandez stands behind the child making a thrusting motion with his pelvis while he slaps her buttocks, according to the complaint.

In the second clip, the girl, dressed in a bra and underwear, is sitting on Hernandez's lap when Anderson pours a cup of liquid on the child's breasts and grabs them, authorities said.

The complaint claims the third video shows the naked minor sitting across the laps of both defendants when Anderson allegedly touches her private parts.

The alleged incident occurred in Harlem in February of 2015.

The girl was 13 yearsold at the time, according to a source with knowledge of the investigation.

"That is me on all the videos," Hernandez is quoted as saying in the criminal complaint. "I was tagged on Instagram and then I reposted the videos using the repost Whizz app."

According to a spokesman for the Manhattan district attorney's office, the rapper pleaded guilty to use of a child in a sexual performance in October 2015.

Hernandez's plea comes with the following conditions:

He will be placed on one year of interim probation

He must not post any sexually explicit images of women or children or any images of violence against women or children to social media

He must continue mental health treatment for two years

He must regularly update the court on the progress of his mental health treatment

He


must complete 300 hours of community service

He must obtain his GED

He must write an apology letter to the victim and her family

He must not be re-arrested for two years

Hernandez is due in court April 10 for an update on his compliance, said the spokesman.

Attempts to reach his attorney were not immediately successful.

Anderson pleaded guilty to possessing a sexual performance by a child in February 2016 and was sentenced to one-to-three years in prison, he added.the Midwest that remains focused on all
three core sectors of the electric utility business (generation, transmission
and distribution). Powergen, which generates about 14 percent of the
electricity
used in England and Wales, is a company with clear intentions to expand
internationally. The company currently has electric and gas operations
in Europe, India, Asia and Australia. Together, the Powergen / LG&E
combination
reportedly will have assets of nearly $14 billion and total revenues of
$9 billion, serving four million customers worldwide.

The partnership marks the third acquisition of a U.S. electric utility
by a foreign company, following ScottishPower's purchase of PacifiCorp
and National Grid's purchase of the New England Electric System (NEES),
both in 1999. It appears that with each subsequent foreign acquisition
of a U.S. utility, the regulatory hurdles needed to complete the deal have
become easier to pass.

Powergen's reasons


for wanting to acquire assets in the United States arise
from needs similar to its U.K. counterparts. In the last ten years that
have elapsed since the privatization and subsequent deregulation of
electricity
in the United Kingdom, the electric sector has become completely competitive
in all areas, including domestic customers. Just as in U.S. deregulation,
concerns about market power have restricted the domestic growth of U.K.
companies, which is compounded by the limited size of the U.K. energy market.
Consequently, companies like Powergen have developed unique skills both
in the United Kingdom and overseas so that they can expand scale through
opportunities abroad. Powergen had wanted for some time to penetrate the
U.S. market and evaluated potential partnerships with several energy companies
in this country, including Cinergy and Houston Industries (now Reliant),
which all fizzled.

September 16, 2007by trib

Just when you thought Pitt’s offense couldn’t get much worse, the Panthers went from vanilla to Neapolitan by dumping the conventional West Coast offense in favor of the Wildcat formation against Michigan State.

Pitt has long been awaiting an opportunity to use the direct snap to a tailback and the options that comes with having the ball in the hands of its fastest and most dynamic players. Giving it away against Eastern Michigan or Grambling State would have been foolish, considering the relative ease with which the Panthers won those games.

While watching Pitt install the offense – learned from Arkansas – throughout training camp, there were two schools of thought. One was that the Panthers were spending an inordinate amount of time preparing for


their scheme.

Not predicting Pitt will get Pryor – far from it – but stranger things have happened in recruiting. Remember, Anthony Morelli was headed to Pitt at this time in 2003, and McCoy to Penn State at this time last year.

You never know.

&#149 Watching Pitt practice during training camp is extremely beneficial because it gives you an idea of what to expect once the Panthers start playing games.

It was no surprise to see the Wildcat package unveiled, just as it was no shock to see Smith struggle to complete short and intermediate passes.

He has the strongest arm of the three scholarship quarterbacks, but he also has the least amount of touch on his passes. That has something to do with his relative inexperience at the position, as heOAKLAND — The laws of supply and demand have caught up to Bushrod, the north Oakland neighborhood west of Rockridge and northwest of Temescal, now considered the hottest real estate market in the country.

The real estate firm Redfin, in its annual analysis of data gleaned from its website, rated Bushrod the hottest market in the country based on traffic to its website by potential home buyers.

“North Oakland in general is pretty hot,” said Ben Brunetti, whose company, Urban Homestead, refurbishes and builds houses throughout the city.

Bushrod is centered around Shattuck Avenue from a few blocks below Ashby Avenue on the north to the west side of Highway 24 below the 51st Street exit at its southern extremity, and from Telegraph Avenue on the east to Martin Luther King

PATNA: Police in Bihar’s eastern Madhepura district on Tuesday arrested two of the six men

accused of setting afire as many as 18 houses belonging to a Mahadalit community — the poorest among the Dalit communities living in Bihar.

Nearly 50 people from the distressed Mahadalit community in Udakishan area, many of them women and children, have now been forced to live under the open winter sky since the accused persons, who belong

to an upper-caste community, burned down their modest dwellings on Monday night, said officials.

The reason behind the attack is said to be a long-standing dispute over a piece of land that members of the Mahadalit community have been using for several years.

Why then would it be imprudent to use proceeds from their sale to fund Singapore's spending?

Workers' Party chairman Sylvia Lim (Aljunied GRC) raised this question yesterday, following on a suggestion mooted by fellow party MP Pritam Singh on Tuesday to use land sale proceeds to boost revenue, up to a cap, such as 20 per cent of land sales for that year.

All land sale proceeds currently go to the national reserves.

In response, Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat noted that most land parcels are sold on long leases of 30 to 99 years.

This means it could take up to 100 years for a parcel of land to return to the Government.

In Slovyansk Sunday, few appeared to heed the warning — as families could be seen walking around and shops were open. Barricades could be seen around the city on roads leading toward the city center, manned by pro-Russian protesters.

Russia moved to put an urgent discussion of the "extremely dangerous" situation on the agenda of the United Nations Security Council. The council met in New York on Sunday to discuss the crises.

Earlier, the American ambassador to the U.N., Samantha Power, said on ABC's "This Week" that the latest events in Ukraine bore "the telltale signs of Moscow's involvement."

"The president has made clear that, depending on Russian behavior, sectoral


sanctions in energy, banking, mining could be on the table, and there's a lot in between," she added.

Relations between Russia and the West are at their worst since the end of the Cold War, the result of the crisis that began when the Moscow-backed Ukrainian president was pushed out and Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine.

Moscow justified sending its military into Crimea, on Ukraine's southern tip, by saying the Russian population there were under threat, and some in Western governments believe the Kremlin is preparing a similar scenario for eastern Ukraine.

In Washington, the White House expressed concern that the seizures of public buildings in eastern Ukraine could be a prelude to a Russian military incursion, though Moscow has strenuously denied any such intention.

NATO says Russian armed forces are massingon Ukraine's eastern border, while Moscow says they are on normal maneuvers.

On Saturday, in what had the look of a coordinated action, pro-Russian militants, some of them armed, seized public buildings in several towns, challenging Kyiv's already shaky control over the region.

In Kramatorsk, about 7 miles south of Slovyansk, gunmen seized the police headquarters after a shootout with police, a Reuters witness said.

The attackers were a well-organized unit of over 20 men, wearing matching military fatigues and carrying automatic weapons, who had arrived by bus. Video footage showed the men taking orders from a commander. Their identity was unclear.

Their level of discipline and equipment was in contrast to the groups who have occupied buildings so far in Ukraine. They have been mostly civilians formed into informal militias with


mismatched uniforms.

Ukrainian police appeared powerless to intervene, and it was not clear if local security forces were still taking orders from Kyiv. The police chief for the Donetsk region, which includes Slovyansk, resigned after pro-Russian protesters picketed his headquarters.

In Slovyansk, militants blocking the road leading into the city from the north set fire to tires and trees, hoping the smoke would hamper any operation by government forces.

"We want to join Russia. We would be very grateful if Russia helps us," said a gunman in the center of Slovyansk who gave his name as Alexander, wearing camouflage fatigues and a black balaclava mask. "We will stand until victory. Honestly, it's not scary for me to die for freedom."

Ukrainian commentator Sergei Leshchenko said the burst of activity by pro-Russian groupswas an attempt by the Kremlin to secure a strong negotiating position before international talks about Ukraine. Representatives of Russia, Ukraine, the United States and the European Union are due to meet in Geneva on Thursday for the talks.

"Russia will come to the talks with the position that 'Donetsk and several neighboring regions are already ours — now let's talk about federalization'," said Leshchenko, a commentator with the Ukrainska Pravda newspaper.

Visit by James Mattis comes despite suggestions by Donald Trump that he could cut US military presence in region

The new US secretary of defence, James Mattis, is to reassure Japan and South Korea of Washington’s commitment to the security of the volatile Asia-Pacific region, despite suggestions by Donald Trump that he was ready to scale down the US’s military presence there.

Mattis, a retired Marine general, will reaffirm America’s role in strengthening security ties with its two strongest allies in the region when he visits South Korea on Tuesday and Japan the following day.

“The trip will underscore the commitment of the United States to our enduring alliances to Japan and the Republic of Korea, and further strengthen US-Japan-Republic of Korea security cooperation,” the Pentagon spokesman, Jeff Davis, said.

Trump rattlednerves in Tokyo and Seoul during the presidential election campaign when he suggested he would withdraw tens of thousands of troops from Japan and South Korea unless their governments paid more to maintain US forces based there.

In an interview with Fox News last April, he also intimated that the two countries should be able to develop independent nuclear deterrents – a move that would trigger a potentially catastrophic Asia-Pacific arms race.

South Korea hosts about 28,500 US troops, mainly along its heavily armed border with North Korea. Japan is home to about 47,000 US military personnel, more than half of whom are based on the southern island of Okinawa, where a row over the construction of an offshore runway for use by the marines has fuelled anti-US sentiment.

Japanese officials


prime minister, Shinzō Abe, appears to have convinced the president that Japan should figure prominently on his security agenda.

Abe was the first foreign leader to meet Trump after his election victory in November, and the two leaders are reportedly preparing to hold a summit in Washington in the first half of next month.in a season. The Ďrelationshipí

transfers of funds known as remittances. According to the World Bank, total annual remittances are $430 billion globally, an amount three times greater than the aggregate global aid budget.[24] People in underdeveloped countries depend heavily on these funds. In some developing countries, for instance, Haiti, remittances are one-fifth or more the size of gross domestic product.[25]

Historically, remittance transfers have been expensive compared to domestic transfers, with a global average transaction cost estimated at 8 percent of the transfer amount.[26] Bitcoin can dramatically lower the cost and time to complete these transfers, and it allows—for the first time—people and businesses with no formal banking relationships to transfer funds easily. Traditionally, people have used wire service companies, such as Western Union, to send remittances. With bitcoins, migrant workers can transferin the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) of 1970, an Act originally aimed at deterring foreign banks from laundering criminal proceeds and helping people evade federal income taxes.[43] The BSA gave banks an affirmative duty to report (to the Department of the Treasury) cash transactions of more than $10,000, and it criminalized the failure to report such transactions.[44]

The BSA was little used until it was amended by the Money Laundering Control Act of 1986, an explicit component of the federal war on drugs and organized crime.[45] Finally, in the wake of 9/11, the USA PATRIOT Act levied new rules on an expanded list of financial institutions, and also imposed stricter due-diligence and AML requirements.

In the United States, Canada, and Mexico, for instance, thousands of companies created private types of money referred to as scrip. The scrip—very similar to a basic IOU—was intended for use by employees in company-owned stores, had no connection to a bank of any kind, and did not depend on redeemability in a national currency.[80] In the United States, scrip circulated as recently as 1958, and it was sometimes accepted at independent stores.[81] During the 1970s, several Las Vegas casinos produced their own token slot coins intended for use in their respective casinos, but they soon circulated well beyond theseAssociate at the Centre for Applied Macroeconomic Analysis at Australian National University, and former Director of the Center for Financial Innovation and Stability in the Research Department at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta.is a Research Fellow in Financial Regulations in the Thomas A.

DeLeers Construction was started in 1945 by Jim’s grandfather, Joseph A. DeLeers, commonly known as ‘Jake.’ “My grandfather served in World War II as a Navy SeaBee,” grandson Jim recounts, “and upon returning to Green Bay, Wisconsin, armed with the skills that he learned in the service, along with some that he had learned before going in the service, he found that there was a pent up demand for returning men and service women and others in the northeast Wisconsin area, for quality housing at a fair price withno corners cut. So, he started to build homes. He did some speculative building at the time, but mainly custom homes and he built his reputation. From there, DeLeers expanded from homes to commercial construction.”

Jim’s dad, Jerry, continued the family tradition of quality work, sound ethics, and good service. “As a teenager, he started building cabinets in the basement of my grandparents’ home at night and later started another company called ‘Jerry’s Cabinets & Supplies,’” Jim continues. “He was definitely a driving force and had a far larger vision than my grandfather did. He really hit a growth spurt in the 1980s. He got heavier into commercial construction and the luxury home market – high-end, custom homes, banks, schools, religious facilities, nursing homes, dental clinics.”

The two children of a second marriage are now in the guardianship of their paternal grandparents.
*299 Following her third marriage, appellant and her husband, Todd C., were sentenced to state prison in 1989. Being pregnant at the time of imprisonment, Pamela gave birth to a daughter, Monica C., on June 28, 1990. A week after birth, the infant was entrusted to appellant's great aunt, Betty Martin, and her husband, Wayne Martin. On September 5, 1990, Pamela was released and assumed custody of the child. She was later arrested for a parole violation on January 16, 1991, and incarcerated in a local jail. On May 26, 1991, she was released on parole and again took custody of the child until


August 29, 1991, when she was arrested for another parole violation and committed to the California Women's Institute in Stockton, California, for a term of eight years and eight months. In presentations to the juvenile court, both appellant and DSS calculated appellant's earliest release date as being in July 1995. The father remained in prison throughout this period and does not join in this appeal.
The involvement of the DSS in the case appears to date from a petition filed by Betty Martin for guardianship over the child. In a home evaluation, the DSS found that the Martins did not have the physical abilities to be "appropriate long-term guardians for Monica" and recommended denial of the petition. The report stated that the DSS would file a dependency petition shouldapplication to gain admission to a mother/infant program of the department of corrections that would allow her to care for the child while in prison. The state program, operated in seven small facilities, provided beds for a total of only ninety-four inmates throughout the entire prison system. Accordingly, admission was subject to rigorous screening standards. In a decision dated September 10, 1992, the Department of Corrections definitively denied appellant's admission into the program.
At the six-month review hearing on December 29, 1992, the DSS submitted professional evaluations by Bettye S. Elmore, Ph.D., and Carmela Wenger, MFCC, recommending long-term placement in a foster home with a likelihood of adoption. Without interviewing appellant herself, both professionals drew their knowledge of her case entirely from personal history appearing in DSS files. At


delayed development, but a prospective "fost/adopt home" for the child had nevertheless been located out of the county. It recommended termination of reunification services and a hearing for permanent placement of the child pursuant to section 366.26.
At a contested 12-month review hearing on June 16 and 17, 1993, appellant testified to her efforts to comply with the reunification plan. She wrote the child weekly through December 1992, enclosing pictures with her letters. She also made frequent collect calls for a while "but it was real hard to get them to take [her] calls." She checked out books on parenting from the prison library and attended 10 Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, although the meetings were later cancelled because of "a lot of disruption...." The prison did not offer parenting classes,and it gave substance abuse classes only to prisoners nearing their release date.
Although the reunification plan did not provide for personal visitation, the maternal grandmother, Wanda Faust, brought the child about twice a week to visit appellant through a glass barrier at the county jail during the period she was confined there. In state prison, appellant got a court order compelling the DSS to pay transportation costs for the child to make three "family visits" in August and October 1992, and March 1993. The visits took place in a kind of "bedroom apartment" in the prison and each lasted two days. The prison authorities also permitted "all day visits, Saturdays and Sundays." As Pamela explained, "they have a big visiting room and they have like a patio outside...


and toys and stuff for kids." The DSS caseworker, Bob Settles, never assisted her in arranging prison visits with the child.
Appellant admitted that she did not send her caseworker the list of prison services by the deadline of January 8, 1993, imposed by the modified reunification plan services agreement. She explained she did not receive "the papers" until sometime in January, and since they were "dated in November *302 or December," she didn't think "they were good any more." In any event, she had inquired repeatedly and knew that no programs were available to her. Corroborating her testimony, the DSS caseworker, Bob Settles, recalled that the services agreement was "written in December" but "ordered in January."
When appellant learned of the court's finding that she could not arrange forthe child's care, she gave the DSS the names of two alternative caretakers: her sister, Juanita Hendricks, and a friend, Donna Craddock. The DSS did not investigate either person. Testifying at the hearing, Craddock said she inquired about the possibility of becoming the child's guardian, but the DSS told her that she had "no chance" of being appointed a guardian unless she was willing to adopt the child before appellant got out of prison. She would not take the child on these terms because she "didn't want to break off the relationship" between mother and child.
Testimony in earlier hearings indicated that the DSS did not actively investigate the possibility of providing Betty Martin with assistance that would enable her to better care for the child. Martin testified that


her DSS caseworker never discussed such assistance and did not offer any services or direct her to professional counseling or evaluation. However, on the insistence of the court, the DSS did make foster care payments and gave its approval to periodic respite care with the maternal grandmother, Wanda Faust. The child also attended preschool but the record is not clear as to the role, if any, that the DSS played in arranging for this activity.
The DSS caseworker assigned to the case, Bob Settles, testified that he had never spoken face-to-face with appellant or met her except "just to say `hello' in this courtroom." He made no effort to contact her while she was in local jail for a period of time in the fall of 1992. As earlyas April 1992, he told her that he would seek a permanent placement for the child unless she succeeded in getting into the mother/infant program. By July 1992, he had come to believe that reunification services were detrimental to the child. For her part, appellant "attempted several times" to call Settles but only reached him twice. He talked to her as if "his mind was made up."
When asked what reunification services the DSS provided to appellant, Settles mentioned only two services: under compulsion of a court order, he had arranged for the payment of the child's transportation costs for prison visits and he "was trying to establish what services were available" to appellant in prison. In other testimony, he acknowledged that he actually had personal access to this


information through communications with her prison caseworker and other prison officials. As early as May 19, 1992  the date *303 the court approved the first reunification agreement  he knew that she did not have an opportunity to enroll in parenting or substance abuse classes, and he knew that budgetary cutbacks forced the termination of other services as of February 1993, a date shortly after appellant was required to apprise him of these services.
The 12-month review report of the DSS mentioned an additional reunification service provided to appellant: the DSS paid for collect phone calls to the child from prison. The reunification plan services agreement dated May 5, 1992, also states that the DSS gave appellant the telephone number and address of her great aunt, Betty Martin.
Following The executing officers found a locked room containing two five-gallon cans of toluene (a solvent used in the manufacture of methcathinone), a box of forty 1,000 pill ephedrine bottles that had been delivered to Bryan Couch in Wisconsin, empty plastic bottles and baggies of the type used to distribute methcathinone, a triple beam scale, a catalog of chemical supplies, a drug debt sheet, and a safe that contained vehicle titles and personal papers in Hooper's name.  A vial containing over sixteen grams of methcathinone was also found.  Elsewhere in the house, officers found battery acid, which is also used in the production of methcathinone, as well as two mirrors, a razor blade, and a straw used to ingest methcathinone.  Rather than return home after


the search, Hooper moved to Crystal Falls, Michigan.  In the fall of 1992, Nationwide Purveyors sent sixty-six bottles of Ephedrine to Doug Hooper and an associate, Rocky Farrell, in Crystal Falls.

Ed Fiszer testified that in 1991 he obtained methcathinone from Jerry Schoch, who claimed to receive it from Doug Hooper.  Schoch also told Fiszer that Hooper taught him how to make methcathinone.  Fiszer further testified that Hooper later offered him the recipe and "schooling" for $2,500.  In 1992, Fiszer received methcathinone from Hooper's fiancee, Connie Marks, who told Fiszer that Hooper was the source of her methcathinone.  She introduced Fiszer to Hooper, and in late 1992 invited him to Crystal Falls to meet Hooper and get methcathinone from him personally.  Fiszer madein June 1993.  In December, that attorney was permitted to withdraw, and the court appointed counsel to represent Hooper during trial.  On March 7, 1994, Hooper's trial began.  Hooper called two witnesses and testified on his own behalf.  The jury returned a verdict of guilty on all counts on March 11.  On August 11, the court sentenced Hooper to ten years' imprisonment on counts one through seven, and to seventeen years and one month in prison on the remaining three counts.  These sentences were to be served concurrently.  Additionally, the court imposed a $4,000 fine.  Hooper then filed a timely notice of appeal on August 16.

Greetings again from the darkness. The 1964 classic Disney film MARY POPPINS is much beloved and has been shared across generations for more than 50 years. It won 5 Oscars on 13 nominations, and shifted Julie Andrews from a Broadway star to an international movie star, as she won the Oscar for Best Actress while becoming the ideal nanny for most every boy and girl. Rarely do reboots, remakes, or sequels to the classics make muchlabor organizer following in her mom's footsteps, and Michael is a struggling artist and widower raising 3 kids. He has taken a teller job at the Fidelity Fiduciary Bank where his dad (now deceased) worked, but mostly he's an emotional wreck. In fact, the only way to save the family home from foreclosure is with proof of his father's bank shares ... something the evil new Bank President, William Weatherall Wilkins (Colin Firth), conspires to prevent.

It's at this point that the kids' popcorn should just about be gone, so it's fortunate that our beloved nanny makes her timely appearance ... literally floating (with practically perfect posture) into the park where Georgie (an adorable Joel Dawson) and lamplighter Jack are flying a very recognizable kite.

in her topsy-turvy studio, and there is an extended (perhaps a bit too long) dance sequence featuring Jack and the other lamplighters singing "Trip a Little Light Fantastic".

Julie Walters appears as the Banks' housekeeper and David Warner is Admiral Boom, the Banks' canon-firing neighbor; however it's two cameos that will really hit home with the older viewers: Angela Landsbury (not in the original) is the balloon lady singing "Nowhere to Go but Up", and the remarkable Dick Van Dyke (a huge part of the original) plays an elderly Mr. Dawes Jr from the bank - and even performs a dance routine atop a desk. All of the actors perform admirably, yet this is clearly Emily Blunt's movie. She shines as the practically perfect nanny, whether debating with herumbrella, digging in her mystical baggage, filling heads with 'stuff and nonsense', teaching life lessons to those in need, or singing solo and with others. It's a wonderful performance and she becomes Mary Poppins for a new generation.

Director Marshall co-wrote the story and screenplay with David Magee and John DeLuca, and they have created a worthy sequel (a quite high standard) from P.L. Travers' original books that is delightful and a joy to watch. The group of original songs by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman serve the story fine, but the one downside to the film is that none of the new songs are as catchy or memorable as those of the Sherman Brothers (Richard and Robert) from 54 years ago.

New loans in China surged to a record high in January — and analysts say it could be a sign that government stimulus is "finally kicking in," which may be good news for the economy. The world's second-largest economy expanded 6.6 percent in 2018, the slowest growth in 28 years. The slowdown was in part due to official efforts to reduce alarmingly high debt levels which started three years ago. Clamping down on credit, in particular non-traditional forms of lending known as "shadow banking," suppressed economic activity and pushed growth lower. But the onset of the tariff war with the United States and the pace of the slowdown forced a rethink. Last year, authorities
