The fight to bring the Phoenix Coyotes to Canada has been on for years, and has more twists and turns than a waterpark slide. Herein, a look at the highlights over the years.
Sept. 12, 2008 - While speaking generally at an event in Toronto, Wayne Gretzky, coach and part owner of the Phoenix Coyotes, said he expects to see a second team in southern Ontario one day, saying either Hamilton and Kitchener could support a franchise.
March 24, 2009 – As the Montreal Canadiens struggle through a "difficult period," Research in Motion Ltd. co-chief executive officer Jim Balsillie's name was briefly tossed around as one person who may be interested in pursuing the franchise. Mr. Balsillie had made previous failed attempts to purchase and relocate the Pittsburgh Penguins and Nashville Predators.
April 23 – Remaining true to its long-time stance, league officials say putting a second team in the Greater Toronto Area is not in its plans, in response to rumours that they had met with representatives from Vaughan about the prospect of placing a team in the city north of Toronto. Deputy commissioner Bill Daly said they met with a group to discuss building an arena in the area as a courtesy.
May 5 – Mr. Balsillie extends an offer to buy the Phoenix Coyotes for US$212.5-million, on the condition that he is allowed to relocate the team to Ontario, the same day the Coyotes file for bankruptcy protection. Mr. Balsillie's offer is including in the court filings. Owner Jerry Moyes said they had tried to find a local buyer. It was reported that the Coyotes' bills, including rent for Jobing.com Arena in Glendale, were being paid by the NHL as far back as February. The next day, Prime Minister Stephen Harper muses that he would "love another NHL team in Canada."
May 6 – Sources say some members of Hamilton city council prefer to entertain a competing suitor, Vancouver-based Tom Gaglardi, rather than deal exclusively with Mr. Balsillie to bring an NHL team to the economically depressed city .
May 13 – On the day Hamilton city council votes unanimously — and optimistically — to approve a 20-year arena lease agreement with Mr. Balsillie, more than 3,500 kilometres away in an Arizona court, Glendale files a fiery objection yesterday in a United States Bankruptcy Court to any potential relocation. Meanwhile, the NHL says it has been in control of the team, including overseeing the team's day-to-day operations, since Mr. Moyes stopped paying the bills the previous fall. The league asserts Mr. Moyes has no right to sell the team or offer it to Mr. Balsillie.
May 15 – Mr. Balsillie reveals he has lined up sponsors including Labatt Blue, Home Hardware, DeWalt Tools and Prime Restaurants in support of his bid to bring a seventh National Hockey League team to Canada
May 19 – Coyotes' day in court leaves the issue unresolved; U.S. judge asks Mr. Moyes's lawyers to prepare briefs on the relocation issue by June 12. In the meantime, Major League Baseball, the National Football League and the National Basketball Association, argue in court filings that the Coyotes bankruptcy case could set a damaging legal precedent.
June 1 - Bankruptcy court document suggests the Coyotes have lost more than US$300-million since jetting south from Winnipeg 13 years earlier, and that the franchise is "not financially viable in its present location." Mr. Balsillie's research on the Phoenix hockey market paints a bleak picture: It says fewer than 40% of Phoenix-area residents never watch hockey and only 7,000 households tune in to watch the Coyotes on TV.
June 3 - During an appearance on Hockey Night in Canada during Game 3 of the Stanley Cup final, Mr. Bettman repeats several of the NHL's key arguments in its bankruptcy case with Coyotes owner Jerry Moyes, principally that the bid works out to far less than the US$212.5-million reported once "set-offs and credits" are accounted for. A spokesman for Mr. Balsillie wonders aloud what Mr. Bettman is talking about. "You'd have to ask him what he meant by that," Bill Walker says.
June 4 – Judge Redfield T. Baum lays out procedures for a potential auction in a conditional order filed yesterday by his Arizona bankruptcy court. Anyone with a US$20-million deposit can bid by June 17.
June 6 - In a conference call with reporters, Team Balsillie lawyer Susan Freeman drags Toronto into it, arguing the NHL would be violating antitrust law if it tried to prevent the Coyotes from moving to Hamilton in order to protect the Toronto Maple Leafs. Meanwhile, a group in Toronto led by motivational speaker Andrew Lopez pitches the idea of a team for the city's inner suburbs, to be called the Toronto Legacy. The group does not seem to have the money required to see through such a plan.
June 15 – Judge Baum rejects Mr. Balsillie's bid to purchase and relocate Coyotes, citing the difficulty of resolving multiple "unique issues" by June 29 deadline. "No cases have been found that precisely or even closely fit this scenario," the judge writes.
June 16 - As, Mr. Balsillie vows to keep fighting, another suitor for the Coyotes emerges: Chicago sports impresario Jerry Reinsdorf, whom the NHL says would keep the team in Phoenix.
June 19 – Make it Seven Day, Mr. Balsillie's campaign to drum up public pressure on the league to allow him to establish a seventh Canadian NHL team, receives more than 150,000 online signatures of support.
June 26 – Jerry Reinsdorf offers to buy the bankrupt Phoenix Coyotes for US$148-million and keep the team in Arizona.
July 9 – Coyotes head coach Wayne Gretzky, whose US$8-million salary has been discussed in the court case, plays both sides of the ice in National Post interview. "I hope it works out for the city of Glendale. It truly is a great sports city. And we all know that Hamilton can support an NHL franchise. I hope they get a team."
July 27 – A third Coyotes bidder, Ice Edge Holdings — a group composed of Canadian and U.S. businesspeople — says it would play some games in Saskatoon or Halifax if it buys the team.
July 29 – NHL owners, via league's executive committee, officially reject Mr. Balsillie's bid to buy Coyotes in private meeting in Chicago — and reportedly make it personal. Sources familiar with the meeting tell the Post's Theresa Tedesco that it resembled the theatrics of professional wrestling, with governors taking turns lambasting Mr. Balsillie for his failings, real or imagined.
Aug. 3 - Days ahead of Aug. 5 deadline, Coyotes auction postponed to Sept. 10.
Aug. 7 – Motion filed in Arizona court, accompanied by declarations from Boston Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs and Minnesota Wild owner Craig Leipold, says the owners have concluded that Balsillie would be untrustworthy and that the court has no right to overturn their July 29 decision. "We voted to deny approval to Mr. Balsillie because we concluded he lacks the good character and integrity required of a new owner" required under NHL bylaws, writes Mr. Jacobs, chairman of the league's board of governors.
Aug. 11 – Mr. Reinsdorf and Ice Edge both threaten to pull out of bidding process if it drags on any longer.
Aug. 13 – National Hockey League deputy commissioner Billy Daly writes to National Post that "there is no truth to the suggestion" that the Toronto Maple Leafs are blocking another team from moving into Southern Ontario, denying the existence of a "single veto" policy.
Late August – The NHL itself becomes fourth group to enter bidding for Coyotes, with intention of finding a group willing to keep team in Arizona if it wins. The league offers US$140-million.
Aug. 25 – Jerry Reinsdorf withdraws bid for Coyotes.
Sept. 8 – Ice Edge Holdings also withdraws its attempt to buy the team and operate it in Glendale.
Sept. 13 – Coyotes train without head coach Mr. Gretzky present, whose status with the team is in legal limbo.
Sept. 23 – As Judge Baum continues to hear arguments in favour of NHL and Mr. Balsillie's bids. The latter offers to at least keep Coyotes in Glendale for the 2009-10 season.
Sept. 24 - Mr. Gretzky resigns as coach of Coyotes.
Sept. 30 – In a 31-page ruling, Judge Baum finally rejects both Mr. Balsillie's and the NHL's bids, but says the league's can be easily salvaged: "[I am] passing the puck to the NHL, who can decide to take another shot at the sale net, or it can pass off the puck." Mr. Baum throws out Mr. Balsillie's bid outright, rejecting his US$242.5-million offer. The judge agrees with the NHL's position that only it had the right to determine who owns a team. Mr. Balsillie announces his surrender.
Oct. 1 - Ice Edge re-enters hunt for Coyotes. Meanwhile, home game attendance hovers in 5,000-7,000 range.
Oct. 26 - Coyotes owner Jerry Moyes finally concedes his long-running courtroom battle with the league, accepting its US$140-million offer as the team continues to hemorrhage money into the desert.
Nov. 2 – Coyote court battle reaches anticlimactic conclusion as Judge Baum approves sale of the team to the NHL, which in turn will attempt to sell it to a new owner as long as it isn't Mr. Balsillie.
Dec. 11 – Deal announced between Ice Edge and NHL, which would see the investor group pay an expected US$150-million for the Coyotes (the deal later grows to US$160-million). Ice Edge embark on trying to get a favourable lease for Jobing.com Arena from city of Glendale, which owns the facility.
March 27, 2010 – Coyotes clinch playoff spot for first time since 2001-02 season. The team finishes with 107 points but is defeated in first round of playoffs by Detroit Red Wings, in seven games. Coyotes lose Game Seven in front of 17,543 fans at Jobing.com Arena.
March 29 - Winnipeg's True North Sports and Entertainment, whose owners include billionaire David Thomson, denies a published report that it has an agreement in place to move the Phoenix Coyotes back to Winnipeg as early as the next season if a deal to keep the team in Arizona falls through. Lease negotiations between Ice Edge and Glendale drag on.
April 9 -Ice Edge strikes lease deal with Glendale — as does Mr. Reinsdorf, just in case. Ice Edge promises to honour lease for 24 years.
April 13 – Glendale city council rejects Ice Edge bid, voting unanimously to work exclusively with Jerry Reinsdorf's group. Ice Edge's proposal appeared to be sunk by questions from the city about its financing. Vice-mayor Manny Martinez questioned whether Ice Edge actually had the capital available to purchase the team.
May 9 – Ice Edge reportedly back in the game with reports of exclusive negotiating rights with Glendale. The city would have to cover what is assumed to be about US$25-million in anticipated operating losses; city council must vote on the matter on May 11.
May 11 – Glendale agrees to backstop Ice Edge's potential Coyote losses for 2010-11 season, making it appear as though the team will spend at least one more year — and perhaps many more — in Arizona. Meanwhile, sources confirm the interest of David Thomson and True North Sports and Entertainment's to repatriate the formerly Canadian team, but the possibility of a move to Winnipeg seems remote for the moment.

eliash #6
such a clear sky. blue beyond belief. they were sitting on a bench, elias and his best friend james. james, his fierce eyes glistened in the bright light, too bright for an autumn afternoon like that, ish. it had rained just few hours earlier. they had skipped school and stood in a doorway sharing headphones blasting out a mixtape of morrissey and the smiths. just staring at the raindrops hitting the ground, going out of their shelter every once and a while to feel the rain hit their dirty faces washing away the scum. until it stopped. just like that. hair was still wet, not dripping but still. james ran his skinny fingers thru eliash' black and blue hair, like bruises, feeling his skull and the water on his skin, fingerskin and the palm of his hand. rested his arm on his shoulder, like they do in the movies, when kids go on dates to the movies and try to get a bit closer. the boys do that. boys always do that in the movies. eliash didnt pull away. he never pulled away. but he felt such a beautiful thee most gorgeous chill down his spine when james touched him, maybe pulled him a little bit closer. an accidental kiss on his stick out bony collarbone, forehead against his cheek, breath in slowly out, a public place, bright day light for god's sake. elias closed his eyes and imagine things happen he was too shy and akward to ask for and everyone else thought they did, on regular basis. they drew little hearts in the air, tired and happy. in a way. suddenly it started raining again. out of the blue, the sky, where else? people ran for cover, surprised by the water. but they stayed. hummed a song about the atombomb. heartquakes and black nail polish stains on their hands, like nicotine stains. paint. ink. eliash had skribled a word to his chest. over his pseudo heart (the right side, not left) darling. but he wouldnt tell what it was. maybe, maybe it was a name. i dont know. in less than a minute everyone else was gone, out of sight somewhere inside, hiding. as if they were made of sugar. they werent. no sweetness, just blandness, mediocrity rules. but eliash and james, they were made of sugar. but they rain, it did not melt them like sugarlumps melt in your cup of tea. it just added extra to their sweetness. like clockwork, wired together knowing each others every thought and move by heart, heart beat as if they were their own. they raise their heads. a kiss, lips moving, a proper one, not just a peck, ish, teasing. but the real thing. in the rain, like a secret, eyes closed. then, everything back to normal, like it was before the kiss. a quick stroken of the cheek with a hand. shhh.

Medical Marijuana: The Reality Show
American Weed
Series premiere, Wed., Feb. 22 at 10 pm on the National Geographic Channel
You have to ask yourself if the National Geographic Channel and the makers of "American Weed" -- a new reality show about medical marijuana growers and dispensaries in Colorado -- are for or against legal pot for those with a prescription. If these are the most sympathetic proponents of medical marijuana they could find, then the issue might face a stiff battle. (Recent Colorado news suggests it will.)
The growers and sellers -- snow-board dudes (the five handsome Stanley brothers running the farm), a former topless model and her self-medicating, wispy-haired and bleary-eyed dirtbike-riding boyfriend (running one of the shops that sell medical grass) -- don't exactly topple any stereotypes about pot heads or weed culture. And even some of the patients, though obviously suffering, seem to maybe get a little too giddy about taking their medicine. "This is some of the best medicine I've ever seen," says one client. But who says you have to hate what cures your ills? (One man has chronic diabetes, nerve damage and walks with a cane, another has a prosthetic leg and back pain -- he also says he's bipolar, which might not be helped by getting baked, but I'm no doctor.)
"Growing medical marijuana is very tough – these plants need constant care and attention," says one of the Stanley brothers, whose efforts to keep their plants supplied with water and light and in spacious green houses, in addition to keeping track of the cloned plants of the most popular strains, requires a lot of work. And you can imagine how legalizing medical marijuana creates a ripple effect in the economy -- electricians get work wiring greenhouses, distributors and paraphernalia sellers do too. Doctors who approve patients for medical marijuana see a boost in business, too. (Colorado has over 80,000 patients approved for medical marijuana.) And the dispensary workers have to learn which strains (many of which have silly names like "Bubba Kush" and "Purple Haze") help with pain, which help with sleep, which aid with appetite, which are better for maintaining speech functions, etc. All weed isn't created equal.
In places like Connecticut, where the governor and the general assembly are indicating a move toward legalizing weed for those suffering from chronic ailments, the debate is just getting started again. The cops and community opposition to the Colorado dispensaries get equal screen time in "American Weed," and they have many valid points that those cheer-leading medical marijuana should consider.
One incident involves middle-school kids who nab a stash of leaves from plants openly growing at the side of a house on their way to school. The homeowner may have a right to buy, grow and smoke pot, but he can't have it out in the open like that. And if it's medicine, as the cop on the scene points out, would you leave your prescribed oxycodone out on the table for any 12-year-old to take? Scoot Crandall is the leader of the community effort to ban dispensaries in Fort Collins, a college town north of Denver. (A proposed ordinance to close down the shops makes up the nugget of dramatic tension in this show -- if you want to know what happened, Google it. Fort Collins was in the news this week because of it.) Crandall tells a debate audience that he has compassion for those suffering from chronic pain. But he says it's more complicated than that. "Let's have compassion for those families who are caring for a young person who has been caught in the trap of addiction," Crandall says to an enthusiastic debate crowd.
Judging from the first episode, which premieres Wednesday, Feb. 22, the makers of the show don't seem to have been so interested in making a case for medical marijuana. There is a case to be made -- in terms of tax revenue and medical science. But the most compelling voice in the first episode is a nurse who pulls her car over to debate Crandall as he holds anti-medical-marijuana signs up in advance of the vote on the proposed ban. She tells him she's seen the beneficial effects on cancer patients who are basically facing death. She suggests he do more research.
Both things can be true: medical marijuana can provide needed relief for those suffering from back pain, cancer and countless other conditions, and yet the programs can be abused, recreational pot can be bad for kids, etc. The tax revenues collected by towns and cities can provide help to recession-ravaged local economies, and yet there are other costs to weigh. And even on the recreational drug-use front, which the show largely leaves untouched, the demonizing of millions of mostly harmless pot smokers smacks of hypocrisy in a country besotted with booze and under-the-counter pain meds. "American Weed," with its regrettable reggae-tinged soundtrack cropping up every time a patient is shown lighting up and its pot-porn close-ups of crystal-flaked buds, doesn't exactly expand the debate in good faith. But simply showing a limited spectrum of the medical pot economy -- growers, sellers and patients -- it might inadvertently humanize them even as it snickers.

A grove of giant bamboo makes an impressive specimen plant with just a few canes or as a large grove with dozens or more canes. The culms (canes) are usually spaced far enough apart that you can walk through the grove. Even on a sunny day it will often feel dark in the middle of a giant barboo grove. It is possible to grow some very large canes even in a container, if it's big enough. Several species are available at the nursery in container sizes from 3 gallon up to 30 gallon size with canes 20 feet or more in heigth. Most can be transported by pickup truck. We will wrap and secure your bamboo for you and guarantee it will make it home without damage.

It is unclear as of this writing if Dunwoody's proof will last even a fraction of that duration.
In fact, it appears that the purported proof has already been found lacking, judging by the facts that (1) the abstract begins, "We give a prospective [italics added] proof of the Poincaré Conjecture" and (2) the revised April 11 version of the preprint contains a small but significant change in title from "A Proof of the Poincaré Conjecture" to "A Proof of the Poincaré Conjecture?"

A gap or three in the proof were found within days, and a mathematician friend of mine reported that it didn't look like solutions to these problems were immediately forthcoming.
The excitement about this paper comes from the fact that the guy who did the work has come up with impressive results in the past, builds on important and cutting edge work, and seems to have a really thorough command of the potential difficulties. (In other words, when he is asked questions about the tricky points, he immediately responds with what look like strong and well-thought-out answers.) For that matter, his work claims to prove a more general conjecture of which Poincare is a special case, and so this work could have more general significance to many other problems, even if there turns out to be a glitch or two in this iteration of the proof.
It's a very hard problem, and this answer could be wrong, too. But there's a big difference between tossing a paper up on a preprint server and giving a lecture at MIT where nobody can (yet) touch you.

One of the references in another comment explained that this conjecture has been proved for all other dimensions, and this 3-sphere seems to be a special case, as far as proof is concerned.
If the Poincare' conjecture were proved, then the general case could be solved. After that, "simply" proving that another hard problem is equivalent to the Poincare' conjecture is enough to prove that other problem.
Now, I've heard the problem described with a lasso instead of with a rubber band. I can imagine times when I'd really like to know when my lasso is going to close around something or if it's just going to slip off

We long ago proved that an ordinary sphere is the only shape in 3 dimentions with no holes in it.
Note that the "shape" is "made of clay". You are allowed to stretch it, squish it, and bend it all you want. You aren't allowed to cut it or put a hole in it. And you can't "meld" parts togther.
A coffee cup is the same "shape" as a donut because you can smoothly "flow" the cup part into the handle and you get a donut.
What they just proved is that a 4-dimentional sphere is the only shape with no holes in it.
So what? Well if you have some wierd complex 4 dimentional "thing" and you know it doesn't have any holes in it then you now know it has to be equal to a sphere. It SEEMS obvious, but it was still important to prove. It is important for many other proofs.

basically all the poincare conjecture says is that if you have a 3 dimensional figure which is closed (therefore, it it bounded (doesn't go off to infinity in either direction), and doesn't have any "holes" in it (like a donut)) then you can take every point and map it to a point in an equivalent sphere without losing continuity (therefore, everypoint will have the same "neighbourhood" of points as it had in the initial shape.)
ie. You can map a cube into a sphere, or a dodecahedron, or a weird globlike thing that doesn't fold back on itself, or a whole piece of paper (without holes), or a pencil, or a lot of different figures.
As well, this conjecture also handles figures with holes in them (like donuts), and maps them all to simpler figures.
It's a very simple concept, but has been incredibly hard to prove, and what makes this conjecture even more frustrating is the fact that 1 and 2-dimensional forms of this conjecture were incredibly easy to prove, as well as 4 and up have been solved, and were reasonably easy as well. Yet for some reason the 3 dimensional version does not lend itself easily to a simple proof.
Everyone generally believes this is true, but no one has been able to prove or disprove it.
If proven, this is an important aspect of topology, because then we can map all n-dimensional figures to a simpler form (like a sphere) and know that the continuity and general structure of the figure will remain the same.
what people keep seeming to misunderstand, is that that a 3-manifold is NOT a 3 dimensional object. when we speak of manifolds, we only care about the surface of the object, not its volume. therefore a 3-manifold is one with a 3 dimensional surface, i.e. a 4 dimensional object.

Review of Tom Daish, submitted at 2010-09-28 21:44:50, score: 6/10 When Michael Kamen agreed to score The Dead Zone he was working with the groupPink Floyd"> Pink Floyd and was his first Hollywood film score. At the time, he evidently wasn't able to push for an album release, but after he became more and more popular, hitting a peak with his Die Hard scores, Milan finally produced a release, over a decade after the event. For this, we should be grateful as I think it's always interesting to hear early efforts which often contain the seeds of certain idiosyncrasies that become trademarks in later works.While a Cronenberg adaptation of a Stephen King story, the film isn't really a horror film, although it contains some slightly nightmarish dream and 2nd site sequences. In the liner notes, Kamen tells of the complaints he received from his neighbours who were frightened by his creepy music as he composed the score on the piano. I'm actually a little surprised as it's not quite that frightening, even with the occasionally whooping orchestral textures in place. In fact, the mood is generally sombre, with an almost doomed romance feel running through the music - even though that isn't really the main thrust of the story. It is almost inevitable that this kind of psychological score will owe something to Bernard Herrmann, but to his credit, Kamen avoids obvious Herrmann-isms for the most part. Only the occasional muted brass and repeated motifs such as during In the Snow give anything away.Further to my earlier comments, the seeds of more well known Kamen trademarks are actually somewhat difficult to spot. The film being in an atypical genre for Kamen means that only occasionally do some of his better known orchestral effects become more obvious. As it was for Kamen's neighbours, the music is a little difficult to enjoy on its own. While undeniably well wrought and certainly shows much of the promise Kamen later revealed, this kind of brooding score doesn't really lend itself to repeated listening, although for Kamen fans it is a work that is well worth seeking out.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you'll recall that at the start of this trial, you were told, told that if you wish to convict Matthew Weeks that you must be sure that he is guilty of murder. You must be sure that he murdered Charlotte Dymond.
When I was but a lad…
… my Dad and I would go walking on Bodmin Moor. We would often return to the same spot. Rough Tor. There is a memorial to those men of the 43rd Wessex Division who died in the Second World War. There are the remains of an ancient settlement.
And there is a stone monument, covered in moss, which reads:
'This monument is erected by public subscription in memory of Charlotte Dymond who was murdered here by Matthew Weekes on Sunday April 14 1844.'
The belle of Bodmin
Ladies and gentlemen, you have heard the description of Charlotte Dymond. 18 years old at the time of the murder. We know she was pretty, even described by some of the witnesses as buxom. A milkmaid at Lower Penhale Farm, the prosecution wish for you to believe that she was loved by all the men of the village, for her looks, for her flirtation.
They wish for you to believe that this is the motivation for a murder.
For the Crown say, that the case is simple. Matthew Weeks loved Charlotte Dymond. Matthew Weeks killed Charlotte Dymond because he was jealous of her flirtation with the other lads about town.
So jealous that on Sunday 14th April 1844 he asked Charlotte for a walk upon the moors. As they walked he challenged her for flirting with the other lads. Unhappy with her reply, he took a razor from his pocket, he cut her throat, she collapsed. He cut her throat again on the ground, killing her.
Two weeks later her body was found.
And now you must decide whether you are sure that Matthew Weeks slit her throat with so little mercy.
Public subscription
The local public are sure Matthew Weeks is guilty. So sure they clubbed together for that fine stone monument on Rough Tor. That monument which announces Matthew Weeks as murderer before the start of this trial.
The Crown point to that monument to make you think that the public are sure, so you can be sure. If they weren't sure they wouldn't have erected the monument before the trial began.
I point to that monument to make you wonder, wonder whether the local public have turned their mind against Matthew Weeks. Whether they simply decided he was guilty and wouldn't consider just perhaps there was another.
One family certainly decided he is guilty. Because during this trial, there was a detail you weren't told. Every prosecution witness who took that stand, who gave evidence to you, they are all related, they're all members of the same family. Why would the Crown not mention that?
The prosecution's witnesses
Isaac Cory. 63 years old. A relative of Charlotte Dymond's employer Mrs Peter. A relative of another local lad named Thomas Prout. In the evening he arrived at the farm house. He said on his way that he had seen Matthew Weeks walking with a girl he was not able to identify. He said he had recognised Weeks, despite the distance, the daytime and the fog.
You may find it strange ladies and gentlemen of the jury that he was able to recognise Weeks, but not a girl he would have met before. You might find it strange that he was able to recognise Weeks as the light failed on that April afternoon. You may wonder how his eyesight was able to cut through that thick fog.
Mrs Peter. 61 years old. A widow. She lived with her son. She had three servants who lived in. She was the relative of another local lad named Thomas Prout. She told you that her servants were expected to be home by half past nine. Charlotte Dymond was not. She waited up until half past eleven. She then went to bed. She did not send her son, or her servants onto the moor to look for the girl.
The next day she said, she found the trousers belonging to Matthew Weeks. Although clean that morning, they had been muddied to the knee. Mrs Peter reckoned it was the same mud as you get on the moor. She questioned Matthew, she asked if he had been out with Charlotte. He admitted he had escorted her to the moorland, he had gone one way, she the other. The last person who saw her alive, the Crown say that is damning.
Mrs Peter said she was suspicious, so she sent the men onto the moor. She took the opportunity to search Matthew's room, she found ladies' handkerchiefs. (You might wonder, why she neglected to mention that Matthew Weeks had stored clothes for Charlotte Dymond)
Nothing was found on the moor that day. But Mrs Peter kept asking Matthew Weeks questions. Then she found something else, even later, a shirt, spotted with blood. By now Matthew Weeks had left the house.
So it was Mrs Peter who demanded the search for the moor. The search two weeks later which found the body of Charlotte Dymond.
Will you convict Matthew Weeks for his muddied trousers? It was raining that day, it was foggy. Mud is part of rural life. It was moorland mud she said. Come on ladies and gentlemen, can you tell one mud from another?
And just mud? Charlotte Dymond's throat was slit, deep too, blood must have gushed. He managed not to get any blood on his trousers as he moved her body?
Ah, but the Crown say there was blood on the shirt. Again, gushing blood won't simply spot. And this blood, was found much later, could have been a shaving cut for all we know.
If Matthew Weeks had murdered Charlotte Dymond that day by slitting her throat then why is it that he was not drenched in her blood?
… Nobody had seen Matthew Weeks on the day of the murder, he had been meant to be visiting a local house.
You might conclude that this is no damning on Matthew. It is 1844, people only have one day to themselves. Perhaps they used that day to visit others.
William Gard a local minister saw two people on the Moor. He does not identify Matthew Weeks.
Richard Pethick a local farm hand saw two people on the Moor. He wasn't sure it was Matthew Weeks, even though he knew him. But, when he gave evidence to you, he was sure. Perhaps that stone statue, perhaps the view of the town has coloured his view of Matthew Weeks.
The running man
The Crown say, why would he run if he were not guilty?
Well, let's face it, Mrs Peter was no longer keen on her farm hand. She'd made her view perfectly clear. Oh, and of course the Crown neglect to mention, young Matthew Weeks had recently inherited money – perhaps life mucking out wasn't attractive anymore.
By the time of the inquest, the local community were sure of Matthew Weeks and his guilt. When the Constable found Matthew he was in Plymouth. Some distance away. A major English port. The Crown say, he must have been ready to run.
Or perhaps, he was simply visiting his sister who lives in Plymouth.
The Constable said to you, well, there was a handkerchief with spots of blood on and Matthew Weeks was wearing a jacket with spots of blood on. You did not get to see that jacket. No scientific mind has concluded it was blood. You cannot be sure it was. If it were blood, would Matthew Weeks really have worn it out and about?
The boot print too. The Crown say, Matthew Weeks boot print matched foot prints near the murder scene. This was after men had walked all over the moor, those looking for Charlotte, those doing their everyday business. No man of science or even a policeman looked at the comparison of boots. Kick that evidence out.
The missing pages
This story is incomplete.
The motive is jealousy according to the Crown. Who is Matthew Weeks meant to be jealous of? One man, is Thomas Prout.
The other
Thomas Prout was a young man. He went to the farm at which Charlotte Dymond worked. He went there to visit his relative Mrs Peter. He went there to see the beautiful Charlotte Dymond. On the day of the murder he had organised to meet her, meet her on the moors. He had written her a letter to that effect.
Thomas Prout said he waited for her on the moorland. Thomas Prout says that Charlotte Dymond never arrived. He didn't search for her though. He didn't go up to his relative Mrs Peter's house to search for the girl. Thomas Prout offered no alibi.
Who was the lover
The surgeon suggested that Charlotte Dymond was not a virgin. Who was her lover?
Who was her mother?
Village rumour is rife in this case. Charlotte Dymond was illegitimate. Rumour has it that she was daughter of an upstanding member of the community. Rumour has it that she would be killed she ever crossed her Mother's threshold.
Consider the Crown's rumour? Then you must consider that too.
Are you sure?
Are you sure without a murder weapon? Without bloodied clothes, without a positive identification on the moorland that Matthew Weeks is guilty?
Instead, is this not simply a convenient case for the Crown, told by family members of another who could have been a suspect. Is this not a case where there are too many details which do not fit together to tell a simple story.
Matthew Weeks was running from a community who had erected a stone monument which announced he was guilty before he was even tried. You cannot be sure he was running from a guilty, vicious and bloody act.
Today of course there would have been analysis of the mud. It would have been simple to analyse the blood. There'd have been DNA analysis and perhaps even an ability to look at the wound and consider the shape/kind of knife.
Unfortunately, we will never know what the outcome of those tests would have been.
From my view, the strangest detail of the case is that the body was not found for two weeks. Further, that some of Charlotte Dymond's clothing was not found until either shortly before or shortly after the inquest. To me both those details deserved consideration – it's impossible for me now to consider them as we can't look at the traffic that went about the moor.
Scariest is that the monument was erected calling Matthew Weeks a murderer before he had even been tried and that the local community paid for that monument.
24 words sum up a case which will always intrigue me. Matthew Weeks died on the gallows in front of an audience of an intrigued 20000 people.
Money is tight in criminal law. The police have reduced budgets to investigate crimes. I have to justify in writing and in detail why my solicitor ought to be able to have a piece of evidence forensically analysed.
Senior barristers have to be able to justify having a junior barrister to support them in Court, no matter how large the case. Funding for solicitors to attend trial is rarer.
Justice is never served when there are too many unanswered questions.
The jury in the Matthew Weeks trial were persuaded to make do with the evidence given.
A 21st century jury should never be asked to make do. A Defendant, even though he doesn't face a rope, should never be asked to make do.

Sole Mio is an authentic Italian restaurant and pizzeria in the lively entertainment area of Thong Lor. Owned and operated by a team from Turin and Rome, this great value trattoria is one of those special finds that grows by word-of-mouth, and anyone looking for genuine Italian cuisine – cooked and prepared in time honoured traditions – should make Sole Mio their first stop.
Open from 11:30 to 23:30 every day, Sole Mio is easy to find on Thong Lor Soi 21. From the BTS Skytrain at Thong Lor it is a quick five minute taxi ride away.
There is a welcoming atmosphere at Sole Mio and a rustic charm that suits their menu of tried and tested classics. Artwork and photographs displayed on terracotta brick follows the typical Italian style and outside diners can relax on a large terrace that is serviced by plenty of fans. Come for lunch and enjoy their set lunch offers starting from 295 baht, or visit of an evening to be wined and dined from the a la carte menu.
Pizzas at Sole Mio come highly recommended, served on a thin base that crisps around the edges. We tried the 4 Stagioni (300 baht), a delicious combination of mozzarella, ham, black olives, mushroom and artichoke. The spaghetti carbonara (250 baht) is also something special here, made true to the original recipe with egg, not cream, two types of imported cheese and guanciale (cured pork cheek) adding a more robust flavour than standard bacon that is used in most joints in Bangkok.
For a main, we can't look past the ossobuco: a braised veal shank that is slow cooked for five hours until the meat is soft and tender enough to fall from the bone with one touch, and accompanying the meat is a rich topping of tomato, carrot and a side of mashed potato (380 baht). Dessert is taken care of by an excellent tiramisu for 180 baht, served with almond ameretti, lashings of mascarpone cream and a soft biscuit base.
The wine list is dominated by Italian labels and runs from a surprisingly excellent Tuscan red for 950 baht, up to a famed bottle of Barolo for 3,800 baht; in Bangkok, you won't find cheaper. There is also an impressively long list of aperitifs.
To please even the most ardent fan of traditional Italian cuisine, ricotta cheese is flown in fresh three times a week, all meat is imported and most staple ingredients are made in-house to guarantee quality: the focaccia bread, pasta, gnocci and pannacotta are all homemade. It's clear Sole Mio deliver a true taste of Italy, undiluted by its Asian surroundings. Of course the head chef is able to customise the menu to specific requests, especially for vegetarians, and the owner Dom will accommodate you with personable Italian charm. Live music is played on weekends with an acoustic guitar duo playing a mix of pop standards and Italian classics and you might even see the owner get up and strum out a few hits, such is the easygoing atmosphere.
Bangkok is fairly inundated with Italian-style restaurants but Sole Mio still stands out as they have a clear pedigree at delivering dishes you know so well at an unbelievably good price.

Entrance Information
Goals and Objectives of the Graduate Programs
The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Ohio University offers programs leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. The fundamental goal of the program is to develop the professional - not only a researcher possessing knowledge about techniques and findings in an area of specialization, but also an engineer well versed in the application of the scientific method to a variety of problems.
Major research efforts are underway in:
Graduates of these programs enter occupations in the chemical and petroleum industries, in state and federal laboratories and regulatory agencies, and in academic settings. Also, graduates have used their base of knowledge in chemical engineering to pursue studies in law, business, and medicine.
One of the department's greatest strengths lies in the close personal relationships that develop between the students and faculty. The approximately 3:1 ratio of students to faculty, as well as the small-town setting of the University, promotes an informal atmosphere, and it is common to find students and faculty gathering at sporting, social, and cultural events.
The department recognizes the growing interdisciplinary nature of chemical engineering research and maintains close ties with faculty in other science and engineering disciplines. This is accomplished both informally, through projects of mutual interest, and formally, through such programs as the Condensed Matter and Surface Science Program, a multidisciplinary effort with the departments of chemistry, physics, electrical and computer engineering, and mechanical engineering. Through programs such as these, students are able to considerably broaden their experience.

Because Carnoustie is on Route 1 of the National Cycle Network we have decided to have a page of useful information just for cyclists. Linksview Guest House is just 5 yards from Route 1 which passes through St Andrews, Dundee and on to Arbroath, Montrose and further north. We have been pleased to welcome cyclists in groups, as couples and as individuals in 2011. We even had Andy from Connecticut with his custom built bicycle in a suitcase!
We have secure garage storage for cycles so don't worry about your equipment being stolen and ruining your vacation.
The hot drink on arrival and drying facilities may be something you also need and welcome. After all, no one comes to Scotland for the weather!
