At a time when overindebted governments are making increasingly desperate grabs for their citizens' money, keeping all your assets invested in one country—and denominated in one currency—is a very bad idea.
All Your Savings Now Belong to US!
Read on for the 7 best ways to internationally diversify... and how to start putting them into action today.
There's literally no time to lose.
Dear Reader,
"Remember, your government... considers you a milk cow. And history has shown, if they need to, they'll use you as a beef cow, as well."
–Doug Casey,
Internationalizing Your Assets
If you're alarmed by the growing threat—from your own government—to your financial health and personal freedom, I can't blame you.
You are undoubtedly well aware of the avalanche of new laws, taxes, and regulations that have recently passed or are in the works. While individually they may each seem small, added together they pose a threat to your future prosperity.
In fact, I'm afraid that as budgets are shrinking and deficits rising, desperate grabs for the money of taxpayers and depositors will only accelerate.
Numerous recent examples around the world show that capital controls, tax hikes to 60-70% of your income, debt monetization, the nationalization of IRAs and other pension vehicles, and many other destructive options can and will be used by cash-strapped governments.
No matter how well you think your money is protected, how sure can you really be?
Fortunately, it's not too late to take action to protect yourself from an out-of-control government… and there are many practical and easy strategies you can implement without ever leaving home.
The 7 Pillars of Global Investing and Internationalization
Many mainstream investors think that buying a couple of stocks trading on Canadian exchanges or adding another mutual fund is diversification. But they'll be the ones hurting the most when the economic tsunami hits.
But this hurting doesn't have to happen to you.
Most people know of the general investment benefits of not having all your asset eggs in one basket. This portfolio-diversification concept—investing in multiple asset classes—also applies to the political risk associated with your home country. It is a risk few people think about diversifying.
Doug Casey has said over and over that spreading your political risk beyond a single jurisdiction is the single most important thing he can recommend today.
In short, internationalization is prudent because it frees you from absolute dependence on any one country. Achieve that freedom, and it becomes very difficult for any country to control you.
While diversifying political risk is something that everyone in the world should strive to achieve, it goes double for those who live under a government that is sinking deeper into fiscal trouble (e.g., most Western governments).
So let me tell you about the seven best ways to TRULY diversify your assets and yourself that you'll find in our book-length GOING GLOBAL 2014 report.
I'll tell you more in a moment, but here's a brief overview for starters:
Foreign Bank Accounts for Americans Still Possible
Where and how to open a bank account outside of the US (yes, it's still possible, but time may be running short).
Where to Buy and Store Gold Internationally
Crooked vs. honest dealers and how to recognize them. Storing your metal: the safest jurisdictions in the world.
Internationalizing Yourself
Having a second passport or a bolt hole in another country is a great benefit - we'll tell you how and where to get one, and how to go about buying foreign real estate. Also in this section: the 12 most popular countries to move to.
Outsourcing Your IRA
Gain more money and freedom by opening up a "self-directed" IRA; how forming an offshore LLC or a foreign trust can splendidly work in your favor.
Foreign Annuities and Life Insurance Policies
A safe way to diversify your assets internationally–with all the perks of domestic products, including tax deferral and tax-free withdrawals.
Foreign Stocks and Funds
How to assemble a portfolio that can really protect you... Stocks, funds, and some other investments your bank account will love.
How to Properly Diversify with Currencies
The top five foreign currencies to root for... and the #1 secret most investors never even consider (but should).
And as a bonus, learn how to internationalize and shield your digital presence, offering protection from hackers and the NSA snoops.
Most of these are opportunities your broker or financial adviser won't tell you about, simply because they're beyond his realm of expertise.
But diversifying in the way I outlined above is now more important than ever.
Because what's hampering your ability to acquire wealth and keep it is the endless meddling in your life by the US government... providing handouts and bailouts to the undeserving... racking up trillions of dollars in debt that can never be paid back... passing countless new restrictions, regulations, and taxes... and in the process wrecking the US economy and impoverishing the productive part of the population.
But outright taxation is not the only form of tax...
Dollar Devaluation
—Inflating Your Money Away
Peter Schiff calls it the "inflation tax." Doug Casey calls it "theft by printing press."
If you've been following the Federal Reserve's insane money printing (or, in government-speak, "quantitative easing" or "QE"), you know that the grand plan of our masters in Washington is to inflate their way out of the unsustainable debt they've piled up over the last decade.
100% committed to the destruction of the dollar...
"The Federal Reserve is now 100% committed to the destruction of the dollar. Anyone with wealth in the US dollar should be concerned that economic leadership is firmly in the hands of irresponsible bureaucrats who are committed to an ivory tower version of reality that bears no resemblance to the world as it really is."
—Peter Schiff
At the start of 2014, the Fed's balance sheet stood at $4.06 trillion—though that was before "QE4eva" started, which obliges the Fed to buy $45 billion of US Treasuries per month.
And while Fed Chairman Bernanke is spreading his "helicopter money" around, your dollars are losing purchasing power every day.
Right now this trickle-down loss is so gradual that most savers and investors are not even aware of it. But if you want to know how much value the US dollar has really lost, here's another eye-opening chart for you:
As the Fed's excessive money printing continues, rampant inflation—perhaps even hyper-inflation—is baked in the cake. And if it stops printing, the US government is going to drown in its own debt.
It's the classic "rock and a hard place" scenario. Whatever happens from here on out, there is a very good chance that the whole US economy could come crashing down, and soon.
That's why you should start internationalizing your assets right away. Remember, the prepared are spared.
Of course I—along with the entire Casey Research team—hope that we're wrong in our dire predictions. But we also believe that it's better to be overprepared than unprepared... and wiped out.
And I assure you, the odds for a worst-case scenario are rising by the day.
In a moment, I'm going to tell you more about how to best internationalize your wealth—but first, allow me to briefly introduce myself...
Taking Lessons from the
"International Man"
My name is Olivier Garret, and I'm working with the original "International Man," Doug Casey, founder and chairman of Casey Research.
Doug is not just a well-known contrarian investor and self-made multimillionaire, he is also a true citizen of the world. In the 1970s, he wrote The International Man, a book on investing and living in foreign countries. His next book was the acclaimed Crisis Investing, which became the best-selling financial book in 1980.
Today, Doug is a sought-after speaker at investment conferences across North America, and usually it is standing room only during his speeches.
Here's something else about Doug: his unique expertise makes him the master of diversification—the kind of diversification that can truly make a difference for your life and wealth. And over the years, he has established a network of specialists that are cut from the same cloth.
Move a significant portion of your assets out of your home country...
By far the most effective way to ensure your personal and financial freedom is to have your citizenship in one country, your bank and brokerage accounts in another, your residence in another, and your business activities everywhere else. That's an ideal, of course, and it isn't practical for most people.
What is practical for everybody, and totally necessary, is to move a significant portion of your assets out of your home country. . . .
The storm that's just now breaking has been building for a long time. It's not too late to take shelter. But it soon will be. I don't mean to be alarmist, but—notwithstanding temporary reversals—things are going to be unraveling for years to come.
—Doug Casey
Doug and his team of experts have put together GOING GLOBAL 2014, a special report filled with specific advice and in-depth descriptions of all the different ways you can protect your assets by moving them—and maybe even yourself—out of the country.
The Special Report That
Leaves Nothing Out
This book-length report our experts have assembled is absolutely the best of its kind.
The Authors of
Doug Casey, founder and chairman of Casey Research-the original international man.
Kevin Brekke, editor of World Money Analyst, a Mauldin Economics publication focused on international investments.
Nick Giambruno, CFA charterholder; contributor and investment analyst at Casey Research and senior editor at International Man.
Terry Coxon, economist; contributing editor, The Casey Report; president of Passport Financial, a firm helping investors set up international structures for optimal asset protection.
Jeff Clark, senior editor of the BIG GOLD newsletter, which focuses on the best ways of buying and storing physical metals, as well as large-cap gold stocks and funds.
Frank Suess, CEO and Chairman of BFI Capital Group, which provides private banking, wealth management, and investment advisory services.
Alex Daley, senior editor of the Casey Extraordinary Technology newsletter, which focuses on the best opportunities in the largest sector of the American economy - technology.
It's an unparalleled compendium of financial intelligence you won't find anywhere else—need-to-know facts for any investor thinking about saving his hard-earned money from the long arms of a greedy government.
But I also have to tell you what it is not: It is NOT a handbook on how to evade taxes or to cheat the government. A lot of people have tried to do that, and today they're the smartest guys on the cell block.
That's why we're keeping it real—providing feasible (and legally sound) guidance and actionable advice to ALL rational investors.
For example...
How to protect yourself from dollar debasement
We already talked about the Fed's excessive money creation, which is diluting the money supply and laying the foundation for over-the-top inflation.
In the past, many investors have bought euros because they perceived them to be a more stable currency. But with the ongoing debt disaster in the PIIGS countries (Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece, and Spain), it is becoming clear that the Eurozone may be in greater peril than the US.
There's a number of different ways to acquire and hold foreign currencies as well:
- You can buy them outright and keep them in cash
- You can invest in a foreign-denominated certificate of deposit (CD)
- Or you can buy shares of foreign-currency ETFs
And perhaps even more important, you'll learn WHERE to keep the currencies you have.
A vitally important question for you
Do you have a bank account in another country? If not, you should hurry up and get one.
Holding foreign currencies in an account outside of the United States is the way to go if you REALLY want to diversify your assets internationally—but in the last few years the US government has left no stone unturned to make it harder for investors to get a foreign bank account.
It's not too late, though—there are still feasible ways to open one. But you have to act quickly, before Washington enacts even stricter controls in a desperate grab for your money.
You'll find all the information you need in GOING GLOBAL 2014... and I urge you to read it today, for the sake of your financial security.
But as useful as foreign currencies and bank accounts can be for diversification, here's one safe and convenient way to protect your wealth that I'm pretty sure your broker will never mention...
The passport to freedom
Having a second passport is a benefit you shouldn't underestimate. For one thing, it will let you live and work indefinitely in the country whose citizen you become, without visa restrictions or limits to business or real estate ownership, as some countries have.
If you check your ancestry, you may even be entitled to a European or other passport without knowing it.
An Italian, Spanish, or German passport, for example, would allow you to live in any EU member country of your choosing, and it would give you access to benefits - like visa-free entry to many non-EU countries - that Americans don't enjoy.
GOING GLOBAL 2014 guides you through all the necessary steps and tells you which countries are the best candidates to obtain citizenship.
One word on real estate: If you're thinking of setting up a bolt hole outside of the United States, don't just pick some paradisiacal spot you've vacationed in before.
It's important to do your homework about the country, its economy, its government and policies, the local mentality, and much more before you jump.
In GOING GLOBAL 2014, you will learn how to find the best place for yourself to live, invest, and keep your money - as well as practical steps you need to take in order to set up shop in your country of choice.
There are many more crucial topics in GOING GLOBAL 2014, like:
The Most Ingenious Ways to Keep Your Money Out of the US
- How LLCs can manage your money and save you a lot of taxes
- Trusts are good; control is better
- Why you should own some gold—and the safest places to store it
... and much more.
Now, our experts have worked for months on putting this handbook for international investors together. As a result, it is so stuffed with valuable, down-to-earth information that Casey Research could easily sell it for $200 or more.
But I decided that we should make this material available to as many investors as possible, so here is my special offer to you...
A Well of Tried and
Tested Knowledge... for Only $99
And I guarantee you, that's a great deal.
You see, the information you'll find in GOING GLOBAL 2014 is not just some theoretical claptrap that we read in books.
It is firsthand knowledge acquired by traveling the world to consult with international lawyers, real estate experts, brokers, and asset managers... and by actually implementing their strategies in the real world.
So, yes, $99 is a steal for this kind of practical guidance that you can only get from people who have been there, done that.
And that's not all.

The Big Money Grab
—and You Have No Rights
Heavily indebted and desperate for funds as they are, it should come as no surprise that the US federal and state governments are constantly looking for new ways to fleece the taxpayers (you and me). And the methods they employ are getting ever more creative...
Too stupid to manage your own IRA?
We're from the government,
and we're here to help...
"If you knew what's good for you, you'd buy US Treasuries—you know, the stuff we can't get anyone but the Fed to buy—for your IRA and 401(k). Since you obviously don't know what's good for you, we'll do it for you."
That's my plain-English translation of the Obama administration's argument that it should be handling our pension funds for us. (To be fair, the Bush regime made a similar move, but it died in Congress at the time.)
"Retirement USA is basically an effort that amounts to nationalizing 401(k)s and IRAs."
–David John, senior research fellow, Heritage Foundation
Don't you just love our gentle, caring government?
The first step has been taken by the Service Employee International Union (SEIU), which "has mounted an effort to create government-mandated worker retirement accounts as an entitlement program," reports World Net Daily.
In other words, US companies, already bogged down with Obamacare, would be required by law to provide retirement funds for employees—with workers paying half of the tab.
Under this program, patriotically named "Retirement USA," the government could then demand that part of the retirement contributions go into a government-created annuity funded by purchasing Treasury debt.
To see the flaws in this plan, we only have to look to Hungary, which in November 2010 gave its citizens an ultimatum: move your private-pension fund assets to the state or lose your state pension. The ostensible purpose of this extortion scheme: reduce the country's budget deficit and public debt. Bloomberg reported that "workers who opt against returning to the state system stand to lose 70 percent of their pension claim."
Do you really want to bet your retirement fund on the hope that something like this can't happen in America?
I think I've presented more than enough compelling arguments on why you should diversify, diversify, diversify—across different countries, brokers, exchanges, currencies, banks, and asset classes.
Our comprehensive special report, GOING GLOBAL 2014, gives you all the tools you need to do just that.Click here to get GOING GLOBAL 2014 now
I wish you much enjoyment reading GOING GLOBAL 2014... you'll be glad you did.

In 1992, I was bitten on my left foot by a Brown Recluse Spider in Orlando,The wound was open and very,very very, painful. I had Ins. & I was treated by 14 different doctors. When they all gave up and decide it was time to Amputate my leg. I came to my parents home, here in Port Charlotte for Easter. (* GOD* SENT A ANGEL TO THE DINNER WHERE WE WERE EATING, WHO I MET her ONLY ONCE,SHE KNEW & CALLED DR. ASPERILLA ON EASTER *) The next day , Monday, I met Dr. Asperilla & he touched my leg and said Yes, your leg is highly infected & he said I am going to heal it ! & He set me up on Vancomycin 2000mgs. no other doctor in Orlando knew to use that & in 1 day my foot went from deep purple to light pink. He made my Ins. pay for it & sent me back to Orlando with his medicine & in 2 wks. I was completely HEALED & I put a shoe on for the first time in 2 yrs. July 4,1994. MY PRAISE GOES OUT TO DOCTOR MARK ASPERILLA. THANK YOU , THANK YOU LOVE STEPHEN VALLILLO

Doctor only spoke to me two times. He has been"holding me against my will" and of the 14 days I have been in the hospital, h has only spoke to me twice. The second time was to tell methat he is why I have to remain in the hospital until further notice. It is currently going on two weeks.

I saw Dr.A 1999-2004. He felt there was nothing more he could do for me after 2 failed interferon therapies.I need my records to apply for a clinical trial.I am stage 4. His office today informed me they shredded my records as they were 7yrs old. I now have no hope of a clinical trial. I thought records this important would be kept indefinately as they may be a matter of great importance later in life such as now. Feeling sad and frustrated.

Dr Asperilla is a highly intelligent doctor who goes way beyond to help people. He is very professional and caring. He diagnosed my Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue. He also found a doctor to help me when I was having severe stomach problems. He even met me at the Er several times to check on me. But if I had to deal with his staff all the time, I would have a hard decision because they can be very unhelpful at times and downright rude. I have needed paperwork filled out for my job and I always have to get on them about it. I have had one of the nurses be very rude to me to the point I was in tears. Now they are ok with me if I don't need anything.

Waterbury police make massive heroin seizure
34,600 bags taken off streets
WATERBURY -- City police made a massive heroin bust early Monday morning, seizing more than 34,000 bags of the drug from a car that was stopped on North Main Street.
The street value of the confiscated narcotics is at least $350,000, but it could be much higher. The seizure -- one of the largest in city history -- marks the second time this year that police have recovered large amounts of the narcotic from a motor vehicle on city streets.

Best, worst: Beat Ohio State, 74-66. Lost to TCU, 62-55
Outlook: When the Jayhawks get set in their halfcourt defense, no team is tougher, but a running team might be able to give them trouble in transition.
2. Georgetown
Big East at-large (25-6)
Takes last shot: When the game is on the line, it's pretty safe to rely on Otto Porter, the Big East and potential National Player of the Year.
Best, worst: Beat Louisville, 53-51. Lost to USF, 61-58.
Outlook: Like fellow Big East Final Four candidate Louisville, the Hoyas have a stout defense and plenty of questions on offense, but are still a legitimate Final Four contender.
3. Florida

RECORDED LIVE AT MARK McLAUGHLIN'S BAR, DUNDALK, Co. LOUTH BY IRISH INTERNATIONAL STUDIOS.
Sound Engineer: CEL FAY

Singing pubs are 'in'. With an increase in the popularity of Irish folk music enterprising bar owners everywhere are running folk sessions in their lounges. Lush carpeting, soft lighting, and jaded professional musicians abound.
Mark McLaughlin (that's him with the drink) runs a singing pub in Dundalk. But Mark's (as the bar is known throughout most of Ireland) is one of the few bars to be different. There is no carpeting. There isn't even a cover charge. Mark's is different because Mark's was a singing pub before there were singing pubs. (Even the antiques are old). The musicians and singers are anything but jaded, Jarred - maybe, but jaded never.
They sing and play because they love it. They do it for the 'crack'.
Julie Felix, The Dubliners, The Clancy Brothers, Tommy Makem, Brian McCollum, Maeve Mulvanny, Seamus Ennis - Mark numbers all these among his friends and regular visitors and indeed it is said that many of their best performances have been given in Mark's.
On the night of the recording Declan Hunt, Gerry McCartney and Clive Collins gave a great performance - a performance which in the opinion of OUTLET producer Billy McBurney has seldom been equaled on record and never certainly on a live recording. Billy puts it more simply. "A bloody great record".

In late July, contending baseball teams are usually in the market for someone to help them make a playoff push. Not the Washington Nationals, though, if you believe GM Mike Rizzo's statement. Rizzo says the team is "always looking for ideas that will make us better long-term… more than short-term," according to Adam Kilgore. It makes sense for the team's organizational philosophy, but the team is going to have a lot more roster moves coming from within their own organization in the coming days.
Jayson Werth, who has been recovering from surgery to repair a broken wrist, massacred the ball during batting practice before the game on Wednesday, and he long tossed in the outfield after that. Manager Davey Johnson was "really pleasantly surprised" about Werth's performance and indicated it was possible for him to start his rehab assignment on Thursday. This would keep him well on-schedule for a return the first week of August.
The Nats catching woes continue, as Jhonatan Solano looks to be headed to the disabled list with "The Nationals' Special," which is what I'm going to start calling oblique injuries. Ian Desmond, Mark DeRosa, and Solano will now have all missed time with the nagging injury. Sandy Leon, who left after four innings of MLB experience following a collision at home plate on May 14 with a high ankle sprain, is the most likely candidate to return as the Nats send their fifth catcher to the DL this season.
Drew Storen continues to make rehab appearances with Single-A Potomac, and his recovery from bone chip removal surgery in April seems to be moving well. Johnson said he could return to the Nats bullpen "as early as tomorrow." The Nats would have to make a corresponding roster move, and there isn't an easy call there for the team. The bullpen has pitched almost universally well, and there are only two relievers with contract options remaining, Ryan Mattheus and Craig Stammen. It's hard to argue that either of those guys deserve to move anywhere.
A decision on Xavier Nady is expected as soon as Friday after about two weeks of rehab assignments in the minors. If you're having trouble placing Drew Storen, it seems unlikely that Nady will be placed anywhere but back on the free agent market. It seems likely that he'll be designated for assignment this week.

Becky Warloe is willing to sacrifice comfort for a good cause.She's made a vow to jump into Castaic Lake not once, but 24 times March 9th through 10th. It's a fundraiser that sees people sponsor her to take the plunge into the cold water every hour on the hour for a full day.
She's hoping to raise $2,000 or more for the event, and all that money will go straight to the Special Olympics, a program she is heavily involved in.
"Not only is it the athletes and their willingness to learn new sports, but it's also the group of coaches and volunteers that you get to meet and be with," said Becky.

frogs do some pretty fascinating things in their spare time, combining their passion for technology with their artistry. So, when frog Creative Director Jonas Damon transformed a fruit crate into a retro iPad charging doc, we wanted to get the full scoop.
A statement from the resourceful artist, Jonas Damon:
I've heard designers lament the end of industrial design for some time now: single-purpose products like calculators and alarm clocks are being replaced by smart devices, leaving nothing more than a screen in a minimal enclosure. Another woe is that design is increasingly being offered by off shore OEMs and ODMs, leaving design quality to suffer at the hand of the cheap cost.
I've got a different way of looking at it: all this advanced technology is actually enabling industrial design. A product's form used to be dictated by its mechanical function. Products had distinctive shapes largely because the composition of the internal components mandated a certain form. But, as mechanics are being replaced by microchips, these constraints are disappearing. Designers have more opportunity with form now ; ergonomics and expression no longer need compromising.
This is the thinking behind the iPad dock I built for my personal use. It takes the form of a 1970's or 1980's era television, complete with the cathode ray tube housing. Hartmut Esslinger kick-started his career and frog design with the iconic design of a television for the German manufacturer WEGA (later absorbed by Sony). Up until then, TV's were largely made to look like furniture: wooden cabinets complete with spindly legs. His premise was that this technology should proudly assert its own identity. My iPad dock reverses this thinking. Lacking a distinct expression, I sought to enrich the iPad with something I have an emotional connection to – the home appliances of my upbringing. This lo-fidelity design language is very appealing in contrast to the gloss-black slick design trends that are currently the norm. However, what I've done is not unique. Every day we are seeing ordinary people adapting products like the iPad to suit their particular needs, lifestyles and desires. The lack of personality of the iPad has enabled people to create their own enclosures. In this sense, industrial design, or folk-industrial design, is thriving.
As frog's Content and Community manager, Kristina Loring curates, writes, and edits the design mind platform. When she's not spreading frog's ideas across the Internet and the city, you can find her raving about digital activism, the power to humanize tech, and community-led innovation.

District 22-D
Car Raffle
Updated March 05, 2014
The Milford Lions Club started the Car Raffle in 1988. Since then, Lion Clubs in Multiple District 22 have raised over $2,750,000 for community projects. The first year we gave away a 1988 Ford Thunderbird, the winner was Ray Brown from Laurel, DE. Later we extended the offered to all Lion Clubs in Multiple District 22. Our club would run the project, providing the tickets and prizes. The clubs that participated would keep half of the money they raise for their community projects. A couple years later we decided to increased the prizes two vehicles, usually a midsize car and a pick-up truck. The prizes were changed again in 1997 to a popular vehicle, usually a 4X4 SUV and $10,000 in cash prizes. Ten years later, in 2007 we had to reduce the cash prize to $5,000 due to the ever increasing cost of purchasing a vehicle. This year 2014, we are giving away a: 2014 Chevy Equinox 1LT or $20,000 and 10 - $500 cash prizes, click to see poster.

When jurors hear the case of a Kenosha man accused of killing a local woman found beaten and partially naked in a cemetery, they also will hear about a reportedly similar sexual assault allegation from nearly a decade before.
However, jurors will not likely hear that the 2000 case against Javier Garcia was dismissed.
That case never went to trial and was, ultimately, dismissed because an administrative law judge did not believe the witness was credible.
But, Kenosha County Circuit Judge Mary Wagner decided Monday, the case is similar enough to the August 2012 death and attempted sexual assault of Lisa Maria Mezera that jurors should hear about it.
Mezera, 26, of Kenosha, was found dead in August in B'nai Zedek Cemetery, 1760 Sheridan Road. She had been beaten and strangled and, evidence suggests, her killer tried to sexually assault her.
Garcia, 52, of Kenosha, was the last person seen with Mezera, and DNA evidence ties him to her deadly attack, according to a criminal complaint. He was charged in October with first-degree intentional homicide and felony battery, among other crimes. He is being held in jail on bond. And, if convicted, he faces mandatory life in prison.
Attorneys met Monday to argue whether a July 2000 kidnapping and sexual assault case against Garcia should be allowed at his trial for Mezera's murder.
Kenosha County District Attorney Robert Zapf argued that in each case Garcia "preyed" on the women because they were drunk, then drove them to a northside cemetery — perhaps the same cemetery where Mezera was found dead — and either used or attempted to use force to have sex with the women.
In each case, Garcia denied involvement, although DNA evidence tied him to each crime; in the 2000 case, DNA indicated sexual contact and, after insisting he was out of the state when the assault occurred, Garcia told investigators he had consensual sex with the alleged victim.
Defense attorney Terry Rose argued against the evidence, particularly because the case was dismissed at the request of then-Kenosha County District Attorney Robert Jambois. To mention the charges, but not the outcome of the case, would skew the evidence, Rose said.
"Why should the jury not get the full picture?" he asked.
Wagner said that getting into the case's outcome could trigger a "mini-trial" about prosecutorial discretion and the merits of the 2000 case, which would sidetrack jurors in their attempt to weigh evidence in Mezera's murder.
And, she said, "That's not what this trial is about."
Also Monday, attorneys revisited the issue of whether jurors from outside Kenosha County should hear Garcia's case.
Rose continued his argument that pre-trial publicity could keep the court from finding an impartial jury. Wagner maintained her stance that the court should, at least, try to find jurors from within Kenosha County.
To do that, Wagner proposed the rare move to start jury selection on a Friday; typically, juries are chosen and trials begin on Mondays.
In Garcia's case, jury selection is expected to begin Friday, May 10. An estimated 150 people will be brought in and asked whether they have knowledge of the case. Attorneys hope to then find a pool of 70 to 80 people who have not heard about the case, or who at least have not formed any opinions about the case based on what they might heard.
If impartial jurors could not be found, Wagner said she would be prepared to ask that jurors from another county, perhaps Walworth County, be brought in Monday, May 13.
If a jury can be chosen, Wagner predicted starting the trial with opening statements on Saturday, May 11. In fact, Wagner told attorneys to prepare to be in court two Saturdays, May 11 and 18, and to stay until 6 p.m. on weekdays, rather than the typical 5 p.m., during the trial.
Both moves, while not typical for the court, are meant to make sure attorneys can complete the trial before they are called away on other cases, Wagner said.
Attorneys also will meet April 15 to make sure the trial will continue as scheduled.

TCU Ranked First For Developing NFL Talent
March 14, 2011
FORT WORTH, Texas -- ESPN The Magazine senior writer Bruce Feldman has ranked TCU No. 1 nationally for its ability to develop National Football League talent.
The Horned Frogs' top ranking comes from head coach Gary Patterson being able to consistently develop NFL draft talent out of unheralded recruits.
TCU consensus first-team All-Americans Jerry Hughes (2008, 2009) and Jake Kirkpatrick (2010) were two-star recruits.
Hughes, a 2010 first-round pick of the Indianapolis Colts, won the Ted Hendricks Award as the nation's best defensive end. He was also the Lott Trophy winner. Kirkpatrick was the 2010 recipient of the Rimington Trophy, honoring the nation's top center.
Current NFL players who were also two-star recruits for TCU include tailback Aaron Brown (Detroit), offensive tackle Marshall Newhouse (Green Bay) and linebacker Jason Phillips (Baltimore).
Offensive tackle Marcus Cannon and quarterback Andy Dalton, projected draft picks this spring, were both three-star recruits. Dalton was ranked as the nation's 82nd-best quarterback coming out of Katy (Texas) High School.
Among current Horned Frogs, All-America linebacker Tank Carder and 1,000-yard rusher Ed Wesley were two-star recruits.
TCU had 24 players drafted and 48 in NFL camps through Patterson's first nine years as head coach. Thirteen former TCU players are currently on NFL rosters.
In 2011, the Horned Frogs put together their first national top-25 ranked recruiting class.

Land of Parrots
Little Corellas,
Cacatua sanguinea
Photograph supplied by & courtesy of Adrian Freeman, Queensland Police Service, Brisbane.
A world map by Gerard Mercator issued in 1569, has upon it an area clearly designated as Psitacarum Regio (region of parrots), the existence of which was known to Portuguese mariners well over two centuries before the Endeavour put into Botany Bay. It is presumed that this area was the land mass of Terra Australis, or what we now call Australia.
The Land of Parrots (Australia) is truly a land of parrots. Although parrot-type birds occur in Central and South America, tropical Africa, Southern Asia, and throughout the Australasian region, over fifty-four species are to be found in Australia itself. The first recorded sighting of an Australian parrot by a European was of a Cockatoo. On the 22nd August 1699, William Dampier landed on a small island off the North-West coast of Australia, which is known as the Dampier Archipelago, where he saw a flock of Little Corellas.
One of the first known illustrations of an Australian parrot was a sketch of a female Banksian Cockatoo, Red-tailed Black Cockatoo, drawn in 1770.This was a pencil sketch by Sydney Parkinson who was the botanical draughtsman on board Captain Cook's ship, the Endeavour. This historic pencil sketch passed into the keeping of the British Museum in 1827, together with most of the invaluable manuscripts, specimens, drawings and the library of Sir Joseph Banks, who sailed with Captain Cook on his first voyage. (See footnote)
The second illustration of an Australian parrot was painted by the artist William Ellisin 1777, during Cook's third - and last voyage, and it illustrates the Tasmanian Rosella. This painting is also in the British Museum.
The earliest known published illustration of an Australian parrot was
of a Rainbow Lorikeet, and it appeared in Peter
Brown's "New Illustration of Zoology" (1774). Although a veritable
rainbow of colour, this bird was first called a 'Blue-Bellied Parrot'.
The Rainbow Lorikeet was also the first Australian
parrot to reach Britain in 1789, and this particular parrot was the special
pet of a Polynesian interpreter called Tupia, who travelled back to Britain
with Cook. Having survived the journey, this parrot was then given to
Marmaduke Turnstall, in whose possession it was when Peter Brown painted
White-tailed Black Cockatoo,
Calyptorhynchus funereus baudinii

Queensland Police Service, Brisbane, Qld
The second proper painting recorded of an Australian parrot was made in 1777, during Cook's last voyage, and this was of a Green Rosella, killed by William Anderson, the ship's surgeon-naturalist, and was executed in water colours by William Ellis, his assistant.
Some of the first French explorers interested themselves in Australian parrots. The 'White-Eared' or 'White-Tailed' was named Baudinii, after Captain Nicolas Baudin, an early French navigator.
One of the earliest descriptions of the Ground Parrot, once plentiful but now rare, was written by La Billariere, naturalist and historian of d'Entre Casteaux's expedition, during the second visit to Tasmania on 11th February, 1793.
Most people would agree that the most delicately coloured pink cockatoo is known as Major Mitchell's; this lovely bird was named Leadbeater Cockatoo by Vigors in 1831, from a specimen in the hands of Benjamin Leadbeater, a London taxidermist.
A very lifelike coloured plate of this cockatoo appears in Mitchell's
"Three Expeditions into the interior of Eastern Australia"
Regent Parrot
Polytelis anthopeplus

Len Robinson, Melbourne Vic, Australia.
Another explorer into unknown parts of Australia who found his journeys
enlivened by parrots was Captain Charles Sturt -- his favourite was what
he called the 'Black-tailed Paroquest', known as the Regent or
Rock Pebbler, which figured in and was described by Edward Lear
in his "Illustration of the Family of Psittacide, or Parrots"
In the nineteenth century, two British artists did more to capture the colour and character in all their glory of Australian parrots -- Edward Lear, later to become famous for his Nonsense Books for children, and the famous illustrator, John Gould.
The Rosellas are among the best-known and most strikingly-coloured of Australia's parrots, these being confused with the 'Tropical Lories' by early explorers. Specimens of the Crimson Rosella were first secured by Dr. John Latham in 1781, as "the beautiful lory".
John Gould, who visited Australia in 1838, was charmed by the Rosellas. The name Rosella was first used in his great work The Birds of Australia (1840-1848). He named three Rosellas:-
Golden-mantled Rosella,
Platycercus eximius cecilae
Photograph by & courtesy of
Glenys Johnson, Brisbane Qld.
The origin of the word Rosella is obscure and uncertain. It has long
been accepted that the name was derived from the old name of the Eastern
Rosella, which was Rose Hill Parakeet. It is suggested, however, that
the name became shortened to 'Rose-Hiller', and finally Rosella, but this
is just a supposition.
In old shooting lists of 1830 these parrots were called Rosetta Parrots. The word Rosella first appeared in the diaries of John Gilbert, who was one of Gould's collectors; this may have been a slip of the pen -- from Rosetta to Rosella, the latter being retained to this day.
In the parrots and cockatoos of Australia we have the highest development of this species. It is therefore not surprising that Australia is called Land of Parrots when it is realised that this great country has no less than fifty-four species, with possibly more yet to be discovered.
Footnote: I came across your web page regarding the history of parrots in Australia, and I thought you should be aware that the first painting of an Australian parrot was done in 1772 by Moses Griffiths (I do not regard the Parkinson sketch as a "painting"). I discovered this painting, of a Rainbow Lorikeet, in London some years ago. A colour illustration of the painting appeared in Australian Natural History, vol. 23 no. 6, p. 680 in 1991. A full account appeared in Archives of Natural History in 1988. I hope this information is useful to you. Information supplied by courtesy of Rick Willis via the Internet (March 1999).

I know it's been a while. With good reason. Not much has happened with DO IT AGAIN. As Ray's assistant can attest, it's not that I've dropped the ball. I remain a semi-regular e-mail nag, asking if Ray has had a chance to watch the film so he can approve it or reject it or make suggestions or… blah, blah, blah. Inside, though, I long ago accepted the reality.
Ray Davies is simply not going to check out DO IT AGAIN. Or more specifically, he's not going to check out DO IT AGAIN and tell any of us. Personally, I'd be shocked to think, knowing what I know about Ray, that he hasn't watched the film. Twice.
But for whatever reason – control, questions about my motives, flat out not liking the film – DO IT AGAIN is going to remain what it is: A project of passion that a few thousand good folks will remember experiencing and a whole slew of others will wonder about.
With that, I'm going to take a bit of space to talk about the next step. For me, it is something called EDGE OF AMERICA. This is a TV show and a tv show that won't be held up by a complicated, brilliant rock hero. In fact, this show has been approved by a cable network, Travel, and will be shown starting sometime in 2013.
I even have proof. The Hollywood Reporter has a story featuring yours truly, as does The Boston Globe.
The show won't feature me playing "David Watts" with Zooey Deschanel, but it will give me another unexpected adventure. In EDGE OF AMERICA, I travel the country looking for cool and unique entertainment you can only find in that place. So instead of hiking and chowing down on lobster rolls in Maine, I race lobster boats. Or become a pirate.
Am I forgetting DO IT AGAIN? Nope. And I've got a bag of buttons and a stack of records in the attic to prove it. But despite what you may have believed at one point, my life was actually never about reuniting the Kinks. I mean, I wanted to. But the mission was really about something else. It was about finding something creative within and taking that great big leap. On my best days, I'd like to think that I did the same thing, in my own way, as Ray, Dave, Mick and Pete when they rejected the conventions and business trappings of '60s pop and created their own swaggering soundtrack. Or perhaps I'm giving myself way too much credit. Still, I know, as I travel the world for this TV show, I'll never forget what made DO IT AGAIN so special to me and hopefully to you. Those unexpected moments, that universal and communal connection we have as fans, and just the plain fun of seeing real life unfold on the screen.
As Lila, who is 10, gets older, I'm starting to realize how much I'll miss that little girl. She was six when most of DO IT AGAIN was filmed. And one scene I watch often from DO IT AGAIN didn't even make the final cut. I'm putting her to sleep and we sing "Harry Rag" together, a ritual for a few months of bedtimes during those months. The moment is such a perfect snapshot of a wonderful, chaotic time of creativity. It also reminds me of how long ago we created DO IT AGAIN. Sometimes, I'd love to have that little girl back. But I'm glad I'm not longer stuck in that moment, begging Ray Davies to give me a few minutes of camera time.
I won't be updating this blog much in the future, so I suggest you find me on Facebook or Twitter and we keep up this conversation.
Lots of people keep asking me how you can get DO IT AGAIN on DVD. Easy. Write Ray Davies and ask him to allow us to pay for the licensing of his music for our film. I know I've said this a lot. But I figure the question keeps coming so why not ask again.
I think Konk would be the place to write. Here's a link with a mailing address.
Frankly, I'm okay if DO IT AGAIN doesn't come out on DVD. I loved making this film, the festival experience and showing it on PBS. Since we finished, I've had a new baby, embarked on a new project and continued writing for The Boston Globe, a paper I continue to appreciate. So it's fine if DO IT AGAIN stays in my private collection.
But if you want a copy – and I'm not looking to make money off it, just sell it to offset production costs – tell Ray!
When do you stop? It's a question we ask so many times of bands and athletes and even ourselves as we approach retirement age. Brian Wilson asked it when he was making Smile and let his masterpiece sit for 45 years. Ricky Williams asked it when he appeared perfectly able to go another three seasons. The Rolling Stones, we could argue, should be asking it more. I'm glad Grace Paley and Kurt Vonnegut never seemed to ask it or at least take the idea too seriously.
I ask this, naturally, in relation to Do It Again. Obviously, I decided to stop pushing Ray and Dave to give it another go. But what about the movie?
See, I keep getting flooded with DVD requests. As in… "I live in [insert state/country] and really want to see Do It Again. Is it out on DVD?" Naturally, for each of these folks, I have to say no. Never mind positive reviews, our strong festival run or the PBS deal. We can't release our film on iTunes or DVD or any other format. Not until Ray Davies, the creator of all songs that inspire and drive our film, grants us permission.
Meanwhile, this exists.
I know. We were warned from the start. Remember the words of Kinks scholar Doug Hinman. "Ray never cooperates with anybody." [Now cue echo and Geoff, nodding and rubbing chin with pensive look.) As some of you know, I tend to be pretty stubborn so, for more than two years now, I've continued chasing. I've let Ray I don't need to make a penny. I offered him an ownership percentage of the film even though he was about as helpful during the process as Madonna.
Still, nothing. Every once in a while there's a glimmer of hope. Like the episode right before Thanksgiving, during which Ray actually requested a disc and I thought I might be able to meet with him in Boston. Instead, I spent the night handing out buttons, sitting up in the balcony and then nursing a mediocre drink while my family slept and I waited to hear about whether Frank could squeeze me backstage. You know how that story ended.
So where do we go from here? Is it worth even trying? Should I stop trying to be professional and sell bootleg DVDs out of my El Camino?
The reality is, I'm pretty busy. The baby's approaching two. Lila and I have a fabulous time fake-battling over what songs should go on her iPod. (No LMFO… Nine-year-olds can't have songs with "sexy" in the title!) She wrote a story the other day that was nothing short of poetry. I've got a 20 mile race in 10 days, a book I'm contemplating writing, plenty at the Globe to keep me busy and another top-secret project in the offing. And Carlene and I have big plans for 2012. She's been helping create a school paper and we're likely heading to the Middle East again, which is always inspiring.
Then I think of this eccentric, brilliant, tortured artist approaching 70, his multiple families splintered, his heart unsure of what to do next, his resistance to the outside world as strong as ever, and I get back to the question. When do you stop? Perhaps it's time to let Ray go and pack up my hard-drives and call it a day.
Maybe that Julien Temple film we've been promised for years will finally arrive. Maybe Bobcat can pull off "Schoolboys."
I know one thing about Do It Again. We finished it and it's been seen by thousands of people. In a few years, when we're all older and the e-mails have stopped flooding my in-box, I'll forget about all the business mumbo-jumbo and just enjoy it for what it is. We can pop DIA into a player, gather the family, and watch this nutty movie in which crazy Dad somehow got Sting, Zooey Deschanel and Dave Davies to play a song with him.
Tonight, we've got an important broadcast on Philadelphia's WHYY. Watch it, tell your friends to watch it and then write into the network and tell them how much you loved the film. (Those of you who don't love DO IT AGAIN, send me that note… I'll make sure it gets to, ahem, the proper authorities.)
Thanks to the good folks at the Philadelphia Inquirer, today's broadcast comes with quite a nice preview. Oregon PBS plays us Jan. 1 and we're still waiting for word on our broadcast date for Hawaii, though it seems likely for mid-January.
The latest Dave interview tells us that there could be a reunion, provided it only requires Ray and Dave to hang out for an hour. In other words, don't count on it. I know these stories periodically emerge and I try to ignore most of them. But why not float Dave's quote out there: "I love my brother, I just can't stand to be with him."
So we're getting down to the wire. And if you know the rules of Kickstarter, you know that unless we reach our goal, we lose all of the money pledged so far. That means I need to raise about $1,300 in the next 49 hours. Or else the $1,700 already pledges goes bye-bye.
Can it be done? Of course. But we need your help.
You've seen the rewards section. If there's anything else you'd like that's not listed there, let me know. Everything is for sale at this point!
Need some motivation? Here's a sneak look at our ad for tomorrow's screening.
Sometime this fall, a group of PBS stations will roll out our 60-minute version of DO IT AGAIN. Here's the tease that will be used to plug the program.
So wouldn't you know… we need your help again! DO IT AGAIN – I've taken to caps locking it because that's what industry folks seem to do – is now being offered for syndication by American Public Television. Eight markets have picked us up. But a couple of other big ones – Philadelphia and Chicago – want to but say they can't afford to pay for the broadcast fee. If you care about getting programs on the air that don't involve Regis or obese people forced to weep as they step on scales or Travis Tritt, we are calling on you. Philly, for example, would show DO IT AGAIN if we can get 20 folks to sign on as patrons of WHYY for $100 each. I'm sure Chicago would do the same. And what can I do to make the idea more enticing? We'll offer you DIA merch for signing up with the stations. I'll also offer to call you, at your convenience, and talk to you about the Kinks, the making of this film, the Red Sox rotation, anything and everything. Because as you might guess, it means a lot to me to get this film seen widely. Want to help? Write me at firstname.lastname@example.com and we can start chatting.
No need to bury the lead here. We've received our first wave of commitments for the one-hour, Public Broadcasting Service version of DO IT AGAIN. It's an exciting group of stations in eight markets: Boston, Austin, Atlanta, Connecticut, Wichita, Oregon, Louisiana and Hawaii. I expect it'll be shown sometime in the fall. We'd love to add more stations. The challenge, for affiliates, is paying the syndication fee to show DO IT AGAIN. A bunch of programmers let us know they'd love to buy in, but there simply isn't money available for syndication. That means you should continue writing, begging, and pleading for DO IT AGAIN. And here's an idea: Make a pledge promise contingent on their picking up the program. In some cases, their broadcast fee is as little as $500.
I'd also suggest that fans of the film let Ray Davies know they would love to be able to buy a DVD or see the longer version of the film on European, commercial cable or in movie theaters. Ray is an immensely busy guy. He's programming festivals, overseeing reissue campaigns, executive producing films, teaching and writing his own music. As far as we know, he hasn't watched DO IT AGAIN yet, as much as I've been begging and nagging him to. For us to move forward on anything beyond public television, we need his thumbs up.
But even if we don't get it, we're so thrilled to be coming to these PBS markets. It's now been just over three years since Rob and I started filming with a couple of college kids, a single camera and not a single person committed to appearing in our doc. So much has happened. And I, for one, could never have imagined we would end up with a nationally broadcast fim.
And as I've said so many times, there is no way we could have made it without your support. Through Kickstarter, through poster and t-shirt donations, through private parties held to raise money, through an unexpected check slipped to me at a party or after a festival screening… That cash made DO IT AGAIN possible. Many of you will realize how much we remember your help when the credits roll sometime this fall and you see your name flash across the tv screen.
It's a thrilling time to be a Kinks fan. Fantastic reissues. Meltdown. And a few weeks of a truce – or at least silence – from Ray and Dave, raising at least the specter of two brothers reuniting in one way or another to celebrate the brilliant music they created together.

Bullies, victims and suicidal thoughts
Young people who are either victimised by others or act as the bully themselves could be more prone to having suicidal thoughts. This is the suggestion of new research from the University of Warwick, which found such children are three times more likely to think this way before they reach 11 years of age.
Published in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the investigation revealed these 'bully-victims' are at increased risk of having considered taking their own life or to have engaged in a form of self-harming.
However, the reasons for such a finding could only be put down to emotional issues that already existed, or other family circumstances.
Professor Dieter Wolke, a Chartered Psychologist from the University of Warwick, said the report highlights suicide-related behaviour as a problem of great seriousness for today's youth:
"Health practitioners should be aware of the relationship between bullying and suicide and should recognise the very real risks that may be evident earlier in development than commonly thought."

Recruitment process
In 2010, the main and sub-panel chairs and members were appointed to contribute to the criteria phase of the REF. Main and sub-panel chairs were enlisted through an open recruitment process and panel members were appointed through a nominations process. The appointment process and criteria are set out in 'Units of assessment and recruitment of expert panels'.
During 2012 and 2013, additional assessors were appointed to extend the breadth and depth of the panels' expertise based on a survey of submission intentions completed by HEIs in Autumn 2012. We appointed both:
- Research users, to take part in assessing the impact elements of submissions.
- Practising researchers, to take part in assessing research outputs.
Assessors were selected from nominations submitted at the beginning of the REF exercise and those made in the additional call for research user nominations during 2012. Where necessary, additional nominations were sought for further assessors with specific areas of expertise.
Further information on the role and appointment of assessors is detailed in the 'panel criteria', paragraphs 28-34.
Nominating bodies
The list of bodies invited to nominate candidates to be panel members and assessors is below.

The citizens of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada are unlikely to recall anything very positive regarding the night of June 15, 2011. That was when the Vancouver Canucks lost the Stanley Cup Finals to the Boston Bruins—prompting an estimated 150,000 people to riot in downtown Vancouver. In just a few hours, the offenders managed to amass nearly $4 million in damage.
A handful of arrests were made that night and more were made during the next several days, but few officials were optimistic that many more rioters would be held accountable for their actions. Another riot in Vancouver (also following the Stanley Cup) in 1994 ultimately resulted in convictions of only 110 people—in spite of an investment of four months worth of investigation and analysis. Some speculated that the 2011 incident would repeat history.
View the complete case study
