Former St. Mary bookkeeper pleads guilty to felony grand theft
Date: December 7, 2009
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
Former St. Mary, Star of the Sea, Catholic Church bookkeeper Margaret Carroll pleaded guilty to first-degree-felony grand theft Monday, Dec. 7, in a Manatee County courtroom. The charge stems from a series of thefts that took place between 2002 and 2007, when Carroll, 68, of Sarasota, was employed as an office assistant at the church. The amount totaled $328,952.88.
Carroll's attorney, Derek Byrd, told Judge Gilbert Smith Jr. that he has been negotiating with the church's attorney to reach a restitution amount. He said that he hopes to reach a negotiated plea with the State Attorney's Office that would involve a downward departure from sentencing guidelines.
Carroll worked for the church for 17 years but was fired in August 2007, after the Diocese of Venice found financial irregularities during a routine financial review of parishes. She was arrested July 25, 2008, and charged with first-degree grand theft of more than $100,000 and less than $500,000. According to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office arrest report, Carroll is accused of spending $75,000 of the money at home-improvement stores. She also used the money to buy a new car and write more than $40,000 in checks to friends and relatives.
According to Byrd, Carroll has paid a total of $38,000 in restitution and continues to pay the church $1,000 a month. Carroll and her husband, Roland Carroll, who is retired from the Longboat Key Fire Department, are in the process of signing over the deed of a property the couple owns in Virginia, recently appraised at approximately $350,000, to the church.
Byrd said that determining an exact restitution amount has been difficult, because many of the receipts used during the investigation include both Carroll's personal purchases and purchases for the church.
"The Carrolls have been willing to pay more than what was taken," Byrd said. "She's doing everything she can to make this right."
Carroll, who remains free on a $15,000 bond, will be sentenced within 90 days. At the sentencing, Carroll will be entitled to make a statement. She will also be entitled to a separate restitution hearing.

UPDATED: Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - 11:46am
Tyler, Texas (KETK) -- — Enjoying the summer is something many of us look forward to, but too much summer sun can hurt, Getting rid of a sunburn can be tricky.
Some East Texan's explain their method to get rid of the burn.
One man tells KETK, "I normally take a vinegar bath or put some baby oil on it and it helps the pain."
Another says, "Burn relief it's a spray, it's a cooling spray." A lady from Tyler says, "We just use the after sun aloe vera."
Others say, "Nothing, nothing works!"
If you didn't lather on enough sun-block before your sun bath, you don't have to go very far for some relief.
Just head to your kitchen and grab some things out of your refrigerator, like milk, tomato paste, and apple cider vinegar, even honey and oatmeal. All of these things have been proven to help treat a sunburn.
Oatmeal is the oldest home remedy in the book. Studies show that oats have anti-inflammatory properties that can help your rosy cheeks.
Milk and honey have also been scientifically tested to help soothe the sting.
Apple cider vinegar acts as an antiseptic and it helps cool the skin as it evaporates.
According to some reports, tomato paste can help prevent burns before you set foot in the sun.
And, if you head to your bathroom grab the Vitamin E oil and shaving crea, rub it on your sunburn, and studies show the menthol cools the skin, and if all else fails, just grab some ice.
Studies also show that eating cucumbers, watermelon and carrots can help with those harmful ultrviolet rays.

Organizing your tasks into projects can help you plan ahead, track
your progress, and stay motivated. Working from a project list allows
you to plan your day or week instead of just reacting to other
people's requests. Keeping your projects and tasks in Org makes it
easier for you to review your completed tasks and plan the next step.
If you include some text describing why you want to do the project and
what your intended outcome is, this can help you stay motivated
throughout a long project.
Projects can take a single day or several years. They can be large
projects involving lots of other people and resources, or small
projects that you do on your own. Projects may involve a handful of
separate steps or a hundred things you need to do in order to achieve
your goal. The important thing is that there is more than one step.
If you organize your task list so that related tasks are together,
then you'll find it easier to get a sense of where you are, where
you're going, and what you need to do next.
In this section, you will learn how to:
I'll assume that you're using Emacs 22, and that you've set up Org
using an ~/organizer.org agenda file and the basic configuration
suggested in either "Org and GTD" or "Org as a Day Planner." I'll also
assume that you're familiar with switching between the Org agenda view
and the Org organizer file, and that you're comfortable navigating
around Emacs.
The examples I'll use focus on yearly goals. You might also have
short-term projects or long-term plans. Feel free to adapt the
examples as needed.
Open your ~/organizer.org file. If you've collected your tasks as
suggested in the previous sections on Using Org as a Day Planner or
Using Org for GTD, your ~/organizer.org file might look something like
* Inbox ** TODO Read Emacs Lisp intro ** TODO Write yearly review ** TODO Exercise ** TODO Browse the Emacs Wiki
Create new top-level headings for this year's goals or the projects
that you're working on. You can create a top-level heading by
typing * and the heading, like this:
* Learn more about Emacs * Go on vacation ... * Inbox ** TODO Read Emacs manual ...
It's a good idea to add the projects to the beginning of the file
(before your Inbox) because M-x remember adds new tasks or notes to
the end of the file. If the last major heading as * Inbox, then the
tasks and notes are automatically added to it. If the last major
heading is a project, the tasks and notes may get misfiled.
If you're a top-down planner, you'll find it easy to list your
projects. In fact, you might have a ten- or even twenty-year plan
already written down. You'll find this section straightforward,
because you're already used to planning in terms of projects.
Go ahead and adapt the examples to your long-term plans.
If you're a bottom-up planner, you might be giving me a weird look
right now. "Yearly goals? I'm lucky if I can figure out how to get
through the next day!" This section will also show you how to find the
recurring themes in your task list and organize them into projects.
Give project-based planning a try for a month. If this way of thinking
doesn't work for you, Org will work just fine without projects.
You probably have projects, even if you can't think of any right
now. Review your ~/organizer.org file. If you haven't written down
everything you needed to do yet, go through the section on basic
configuration for your planning style (GTD or day planning). Once you
have a list of things to do, you can then review it for big tasks,
related tasks, and other project clues.
Read your tasks and ask yourself the following questions:
Big tasks need to be broken down into smaller tasks anyway, and
organizing them into projects will help you make them more
manageable. You may not want to organize all of your other tasks into
projects. If you can pick some major themes to focus on, though, then
you'll be able to see how the different things you do are related to
each other, and you'll be able to think of other ways to work on those
projects. If you're starting out with project-based thinking, maybe
you can pick three to five projects and try to do a little work on
each of them every day.
If you still don't identify any projects, that's okay. You can use Org
as a straightforward task list. Jump ahead to the section on "Tags",
as you'll probably find that useful.
On the other hand, if this step turns up plenty of projects, resist
the temptation to over-correct and end up with hundreds of projects. I
find that more than 7 active projects gets hard to manage. Pick a few
main themes that you'd like to work on, and make everthing else
something you plan to do someday.
Now that you have project headings, think of the next thing you need
to do in order to move those projects forward. If you've already
written down those tasks, move them under the appropriate project
heading. If not, type them in.
In order for a task to belong to a project, it needs to be under the
heading and at a lower level. For example, if your project heading has
one star, like this:
* Learn Emacs
then your TODO headings should have two stars, like this:
* Learn Emacs ** TODO Read the Emacs manual ** TODO Read the Emacs Lisp Intro manual (eintr) ** TODO Install the Emacs source code
If your tasks are not at the right level, you can add the star
manually by editing the heading. You can also use M-right and M-left
(org-metaright and org-metaleft) while on a heading in order to
promote or demote it, and you can use M-S-right and M-S-left
(org-shift-metaright and org-shift-metaleft) to promote or demote
entire subtrees.
To move tasks up and down within the project, you can copy and paste
the text. You can use M-Up and M-Down (org-metaup and org-metadown) to
move subtrees.
Think of tasks you can do within the next week in order to move each
of your projects forward. Add next actions to all of your active
projects. Creating next actions for each of your projects makes it
easier to remember to keep moving forward.
If you have many tasks in a project, you may want to organize them
into sub-projects. For example, you might divide a software project
into components. If you're starting from scratch, you can create the
project structure by typing in more stars for sub-project
headings. For example:
* Learn Emacs ** Read mail *** TODO Choose a mail client *** TODO Install and configure the mail client *** TODO Send a message ... ** Browse the Web *** Read through the w3m documentation ...
You can also demote an existing project into a subproject.
Use M-S-right (org-shift-metaright) on the
current project headline in order to demote it to a sub-project. This
will also demote the tasks within the project. For example, demoting
* Learn Emacs ** TODO Choose a mail client ** TODO Install and configure the mail client ** TODO Send a message
will result in this:
** Learn Emacs *** TODO Choose a mail client *** TODO Install and configure the mail client *** TODO Send a message
Then you can change the heading and add another heading above it, like this:
* Learn Emacs ** Read mail *** TODO Choose a mail client *** TODO Install and configure the mail client *** TODO Send a message
This kind of organization is optional, but it can help you get an idea
of the overall structure of your project. Using different levels
allows you to hide and show groups of headings by pressing TAB on the
Now that you've created your project tasks and organized them the way
you want, it's time to actually do the work.
If you use Org as a day planner, you may also want to schedule the
tasks onto specific days with C-c C-s (org-schedule). You can review
your daily or weekly agenda with C-c a a (org-agenda,
org-agenda-list), switching between daily and weekly views with d and
w (org-agenda-day-view and org-agenda-week-view).
You can work with the next actions in the same way you work with other
tasks, rescheduling them or marking them as STARTED, WAITING or DONE
with the keyboar shortcuts introduced in the previous section on Org
and GTD or Org as a Day Planner.
When you finish a project task, think of the next action you can do in
order to move that project forward. If you use Org as a day planner,
schedule the next action onto your calendar as well.
You can review your projects by opening your ~/organizer.org and
browsing through the headings. S-tab (org-shifttab) changes the
visibility of headings, so you can see just the top-level headings or
all the details. You can use TAB (org-cycle) on a headline to show or
hide subtrees.
If you have many projects, you'll want a shorter view of just your
active projects. To make it easier to review projects, add a PROJECT
tag to all your active project headlines. You can add a tag by
editing your ~/organizer.org and moving your cursor to the headline
and typing C-c C-c (org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c), followed by the name of the
tag (PROJECT). You can also manually type :TAGNAME: at the end of the
headings, like this:
* Learn more about Emacs :PROJECT: ** TODO Read the Emacs manual ** TODO Read the Emacs Lisp Intro manual (eintr) ... * Go on vacation :PROJECT: ... * Inbox ...
You might classify some of your projects as someday/maybe – things
that are nice to think about, but which you aren't acting on right
now. Tag your inactive or someday/maybe projects with PROJECT and
MAYBE. If you're editing the ~/organizer.org file, just
add :PROJECT:MAYBE: to the heading. If you're tagging it with C-c C-c
(org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c), specify PROJECT:MAYBE as the tag.
* Learn more about Emacs :PROJECT: * Go on vacation :PROJECT:MAYBE: ... * Inbox ** TODO Read Emacs manual ...
Now that you've tagged your projects, you can view just your project
headlines with a custom agenda command. Custom agenda views are a
terrific feature in Org, and you can do a lot with them if you know a
little Emacs Lisp. Here's what you need to add to your ~/.emacs in
order to get a list of your active projects and your someday/maybe
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands '(("p" tags "PROJECT-MAYBE-DONE" nil) ;; (1) ("m" tags "PROJECT&MAYBE" nil) ;; (2) ;; ... put your other custom commands here ))
With these two commands, you can quickly review your active and
inactive projects. To jump to a project from the agenda view, move
your cursor to the heading and press RET (org-agenda-switch-to). If
you want to scan through the projects quickly, use f
(org-agenda-follow-mode) in the agenda view to turn on follow mode,
then move to different headlines. Another window will show the
headline at point.
If you review your projects at least once a week, you'll find it
easier to make regular progress. If you want to combine your
weekly/daily review with your project list, you can do that with
org-agenda-custom-commands as well. Here's what you'd put in your
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands '(("p" tags "PROJECT-MAYBE-DONE" nil) ("m" tags "PROJECT&MAYBE" nil) ("a" "My agenda" ;; (1) ((org-agenda-list) ;; (2) (tags "PROJECT-MAYBE-DONE"))) ;; (3) ;; ... put your other custom commands here ))
This configures C-c a a (org-agenda, "My agenda") to display your
agenda and a list of your project headings. Again, you can press RET
(org-agenda-switch-to) to jump to a project from its heading in the
agenda view.
You might have forgotten to create next actions for some of your
active projects. Org can help you find projects which don't have next actions.
You can then decide if the project is complete or if it needs further action.
To list stuck projects, you first need to tell Org what a stuck
project is. The following code defines a stuck project as an active
project (not tagged "maybe" or "done") that doesn't have a TODO or
STARTED action, if the body of the project doesn't contain "*lt;IGNORE>". Add this to your ~/.emacs and evaluate it:
(setq org-stuck-projects '("+PROJECT/-MAYBE-DONE" ("TODO" "STARTED") nil "\\<IGNORE\\>"))
Then you can use M-x org-agenda-list-stuck-projects or C-a a #
(org-agenda, org-agenda-list-stuck-projects) to show only the stuck
projects. Review this list and jump to the headlines.
Want to add that to your custom agenda view? Modify the org-agenda-custom-commands value in your ~/.emacs to be like this:
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands '(("p" tags "PROJECT-MAYBE-DONE" nil) ("m" tags "PROJECT&MAYBE" nil) ("a" "My agenda" ((org-agenda-list) (org-agenda-list-stuck-projects) ;; (1) (tags "PROJECT-MAYBE-DONE"))) ;; ... put your other custom commands here ))
What about finished projects? You might want to keep them in your Org
file, but they shouldn't show up in your active and inactive project
lists. Org can keep track of those projects too.
If you look at the custom commands above, you'll notice the "-DONE"
specifier. "DONE" is the tag we'll use to indicate done projects. To
tag a project as done, move the point to the project heading and type
C-c C-c (org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c). The tag prompt will default to the
current tags. Just add "DONE" and press Enter. With the custom
commands we've set up, projects tagged DONE will not show in your
active, inactive, or stuck project lists.
You can also add the tag manually. For example, if the project heading is
* Learn Emacs :PROJECT:
and you're happy with your level of Emacs proficiency, then you can
mark it as done by changing it to
* Learn Emacs :PROJECT:DONE:
If you have plenty of completed projects, your Org file might be quite
large. You can mark a subtree for archiving by typing C-c C-x C-a
(org-toggle-archive-tag). This hides it from most Org commands. You
can also archive a tree into a different file with C-c C-x C-s
Now you can create projects, manage your project tasks, and review
your active, inactive, and stuck projects in Org. You know how to mark
projects as completed and how to archive them. You've also started
using tags to dynamically generate reports from your Org file.
Tags can do a lot more. To find out what else you can do with tags,
read the next section on "Tagging in Org".

Yay, I finished my writing goal for the day!
Tomorrow's a busy day. I have two conference calls, a client meeting, an eye exam (need new glasses), and if I can squeeze it in, a dentist appointment as well. I've finished a lot of work for the client, and I'm looking forward to sharing the first drafts with them. I'm really turning into an intranet social media consultant! =) This is good.
Tomorrow is also an editing day, so I'll take whatever I have so far and start putting it all together. And then the chapter's just going to magically fall into place, like it did last time.
The days are just packed. =D

NY Sun: Palinism II
Via the New York Sun:
The significance of Governor Palin's speech at the Tea Party Convention in Nashville lies in the new facets it discloses of the emerging doctrine we call Palinism. We wrote of this in an editorial issued December 2. It marked Mrs. Palin's willingness to let Israel decide how to regulate its settler movement, her statements in favor of a strong dollar and concern over the collapse in the greenback's value against gold, and her recognition that the unemployment question is connected to the tax question. For all the eagerness of her critics to set her down as a lightweight, the early signs were of a view that is plenty sophisticated and full of savvy.Read the rest here.
This was underscored in Nashville, where two themes caught our attention. One was on national security, in which she placed herself squarely in the war camp and in opposition to the view that the terrorist attacks confront us with a law enforcement problem. "Treating this as a mere law enforcement matter," Mrs. Palin said, "places our country at great risks because that is not how radical Islamic extremists look at this. They know we are at war. To win that war, we need a commander in chief, not a professor of law standing at the lectern."
From the recognition that a war is being waged against us flows a lot of things, including a comprehension that peace overtures are not to be reciprocated. When an officer of the Third Reich parachuted into England in search of peace — we speak of Hess — he was thrown in prison for the rest of his life. When Horace Greeley got involved in an effort to find a peaceful settlement to the Civil War, President Lincoln was probably tempted to have him brought up for treason. Mrs. Palin did not make any such suggestion in respect of President Obama, but she did speak of the "misguided thinking that is seen throughout the administration's foreign policy decisions."
"Our President," she said, "spent a year reaching out to hostile regimes, writing personal letters to dangerous dictators and apologizing for America, and what do we have to show for that? Here's what we have to show. North Korea tested nuclear weapons and longer-range ballistic missiles. Israel, a friend and critical ally, now questions the strength of our support. Plans for a missile defense system in Europe, they've been scrapped. Relations with China and Russia are no better. And relations with Japan, that key Asian ally, they are in the worst shape in years.…"
A second facet of the Palin worldview to emerge in Nashville had to do with domestic issues. It was a reference she made to the last article in the Bill of Rights, the10th Amendment, which says that powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution nor prohibited by it to the States are reserved to the states respectively or to the people. The former governor of Alaska did not dwell on the point, but marked it well and good in a portion of the speech in which she aregued that Washington "has now replaced private irresponsibility with public irresponsibility."
Said Mrs. Palin: "The list of companies and industries that the government is crowding out and bailing out and taking over, it continues to grow. First, it was the banks, mortgage companies, financial institutions, then automakers. Soon, if they had their way, healthcare, student loans." She cited Congressman Paul Ryan on how "the $700 billion TARP has morphed into crony capitalism at its worst" and is "becoming a slush fund for the Treasury Department's favorite big players, just as we had been warned about."

If you've been mildly considering the notion of buying a moped for minor around-town commuting, but you can't come to terms with actually owning a 'no-ped,' then this moto-hybrid should absolutely be on your radar.
Los Angeles-based Derringer Cycles has made a name for themselves by crafting superbly-creative --and 100% custom-- moto bikes for clients around the globe. Their bikes embody the original incarnation of the bicycle, when engineers first started to integrate motors to their frames. And their style readily suits the early days of two-wheeled motorsports.
According to Derringer no two are alike, but of course the mechanical specs are pretty straightforward across the board: moto-hybrid drivetrain, 49cc four-strike engine that can go up to 180 miles on a single gallon, GGB gearbox with a centrifugal clutch, 70mm drum front brake, coaster rear brake and freewheel that lets the pedals stay stationary while the engine's running you around town.
With an addition of panniers and lights, not to mention road goggles and a leather vest to match the era, this is your next eco-friendly warm weather chariot.

Laser Engraving Glass
on the other hand, tend to have soft and hard spots. This may cause one
engraved area to appear lightly frosted yet heavily frosted in another.
Engraving using medium and high power will compensate somewhat for this as
will doing two or more engraving passes. And although the laser beam itself
is very hot, the heat does not build up easily and should not prevent you
from engraving full bottles of wine, champagne or other filled glass
bottles. Laser engraving filled bottles is a very popular method of creating
custom presentations for special occasions and the laser will not damage the
liquid inside the bottle. Just remember, as long as you are not completely
engraving away large sections of the bottle, you have very little chance of
breaking the bottle. Enjoy!

I am down and out. I have filed my request in writing with the County Clerk to remove my name from the ballot at the coming recall election, and I have filed my resignation with the City Clerk.
As to my reasons for my actions, I have nothing to say. I have made mistakes, and I have been indiscreet. People may draw their own conclusions, but I have no explanation to make. I must take the blame upon myself.
During the two years and two months during which I was Mayor, I never took a dollar, and the city has never lost one cent by me or, so far as I know, by any one appointed by me.
I entered the office of Mayor worth $200,000. I leave it tonight practically broke. I have been compelled to neglect my private business affairs during two years, and the result is that I now have to start in again from the beginning.
I shall leave town in a day or two and remain away until after the date set for the election. Then I shall return and go about my business as a private citizen.
I am grateful to my friends who have stood by me. They did what they could, but for my final action I alone must assume the entire responsibility.
The political situation received a terrific upheaval yesterday by Mayor Harpers withdrawal of his name from the ballot and resignation as Mayor. He resigned under threats of exposure.
[Harper was facing a recall election.]
At 2 oclock this morning [Police] Chief [Thomas H.] Broadhead announced that he had made up his mind to resign. . . . He denied emphatically that he was in any way involved in the charges that have
Other resignations are said to be contemplated by members of Harpers administration. . . .
The Council will meet today for the purpose of choosing the mayors successor. . . . [William D. Stephens was chosen; he served only a few weeks. He was later elected governor of California.]
The many weeks of vilification were fittingly concluded with a series of
Reports of incriminating documents and startling photographs were rife last night. . . .
One lurid story was to the effect that a padrone of the outlaw class had in a moment of revengeful feeling toward the city administration furnished evidence that made it impossible for certain officials to continue in office.
Mayor Harper filed his resignation with the City Clerk at 6:30 last evening and at the same time filed notice of his withdrawal from the ticket for the recall election. . . . He did this without advice from his attorneys. . . . those who supported him in the campaign declared sadly he had made a mistake. . . .
The resignation by the Mayor followed a conference with E.T. Earl [publisher of the Los Angeles Express], in which high words were used and which ended in the Mayors capitulation under threat of exposure in the columns of the newspapers which have been urging Harpers recall.
When Harper left Earls office, he refused to shake hands with Earl, and a bitter exchange followed. Harper went to his office and dictated his resignation. . . .
There is no denying that Mayor Harper was literally forced to resign his office by the threats of Mr. Earl to publish certain
According to Leonard and Dale Pitts reference work, Los Angeles From A to Z, an Encyclopedia of the City and County, Mayor Arthur Cyprian Harper
Mayor Harper will not discuss the matter or make any statement, nor would Mr. Earl say anything for publication. That is understood to be part of the agreement under which the resignation was secured. It is said the libel suits against Mr. Earl and the Express will be dismissed. . . .
There was no intimation of dishonesty on the part of the Mayor, but it is claimed he had been guilty of indiscretions that he did not care to have made public.
Through detectives all the details of these affairs were made known, and it is said that there are also photographs. . . .
George Alexander, recall candidate, was elected Mayor of Los Angeles yesterday, defeating his only opponent, Fred C. Wheeler, Socialist, by the narrow
The official returns give Alexander 14,043 and Wheeler 12,341 votes. There was a scattering vote of less than 500,
Conscious of the need to defuse working-class opposition, the progressive "Good Government" coalition, an organization independent of either major party, nominated former County Supervisor George Alexander. The progressives were confident that his record as an anti-corporate reformer would win support from the labor unions and the Los Angeles Record, the city's principal working-class newspaper.
Their confidence was also boosted by the fact that Alexander's nomination was challenged only by the Socialist Party, a party which had demonstrated little strength in previous elections. To their dismay, however, the Record endorsed the Socialist candidate, Fred C. Wheeler, while the Central Labor Council remained neutral.
Although his campaign was grossly underfunded and poorly organized, Wheeler, a popular union organizer, came within a few thousand votes of winning the mayoralty, taking five of the six working-class wards in the city.
From "No Make-Believe Class Struggle," Labor History, February 2000, by Daniel J. Johnson.
The recall election held yesterday had its origins in an interview published in the Los Angeles Examiner Sept. 27 last, in which Thomas Lee Woolwine, then city prosecutor, in a three-column statement, made numerous charges against Mayor A.C. Harper.
The principal of these was that Harper had protected vice, especially in the redlight district. He [Woolwine] demanded a Grand Jury investigation. . . .
Shortly afterward the Grand Jury was impaneled. Nearly 300 witnesses were examined, but no indictments were returned.
The report criticized Harper, however,f
In the meantime, two newspapers of the city were printing anti-Harper articles daily and practically charging him with graft in the forming of three corporations.
Harper brought libel suits against the publisher of one of the papers, and members of his Police Commission followed his lead until the suits aggregated $650,000.
. . . on Jan. 20 the Municipal League called a meeting of citizens, admission being by invitation, and it was there voted almost unanimously to begin recall proceedings against Harper.
The petition . . . made of point of the fact that he had appointed Edward Kern, a former councilman, chief of police and political crony of Harpers, to . . . the Board of Public Works.
The recall people claimed that the $23 million Owens River aqueduct . . . would be in jeopardy. . . .
The . . . Examiner demanded an investigation of this remarkable situation, and a Grand Jury. . . is now in session.
Two indictments have been returned, one against Sam Schenk, former Police Commissioner under Harper.
With Harper out, the machine elements in both the Republican and Democratic parties threw their support to Fred C. Wheeler, Socialist candidate.

Slideshow: Arkansas Ghost Banks Reminders of Past Glory
by Luke Jones
Posted 1/14/2013 12:00 am
Updated 2 years ago
Lining the streets of Arkansas' historic downtowns are the relics of bygone culture: movie theaters, train stations, drugstores and, of course, banks.
A few common characteristics make old bank buildings easy to find. Usually the buildings are in the dead center of downtown and typically situated on a corner. Often the name is still right on the building.
Banks built in the early 20th century were often constructed with neoclassical elements harking back to Roman or Greek temples, symbols of godlike strength and longevity. Others were lavished with expensive brickwork and styling.
In the slideshow above, you'll find photos of historic bank buildings, all either abandoned or repurposed, throughout Arkansas.

Meet the Author
A Singer Becomes a Writer
I often joke that there are only two jobs I haven't done, and one of those is waiting tables. I began my working life at the age of 13, stacking hay bales on a Montana ranch, and since then I've worked as a cowgirl, as a nurse, as a folksinger, as an elementary school music teacher, as a concert and opera singer, a college music professor, and now as a writer and teacher of science fiction and fantasy. I knew from a very early age–5–that I wanted to be an entertainer, and I find very little difference between singing and writing. It's all about story, and characters, and communication.
Writing novels is very much like acting. The writer convinces the reader that what we all know is unreal can be accepted as real, at least for the moment. The place, the people, and the plot all spring from that magical source, the conjurer's imagination, an alchemy of word, gesture, setting, and plot. If the actor–or the writer–can entice the audience to join them on their creative journey, story happens.
My first novel was published, to my surprised delight, in 1995, and since then I've been publishing steadily, sometimes against the odds. The Terrorists of Irustan represents my passion for feminist social science fiction, and The Glass Harmonica my love of music, as does The Singers of Nevya. The Child Goddess speaks to both my love of children and concern for those who are abused or abandoned, and to my fascination with religious life. The three Toby Bishop novels set out in a different direction, but the undercurrent of feminism still flows through them, with young women characters who take control of their own destiny and refuse to give up control of their lives. There is no music, but there are horses and dogs and a faintly operatic sense of drama that is consistent with my other work. I think, no matter how varied our experiences, we writers express our world view in whatever stories we undertake. My novel Mozart's Blood returns to my interest in music and history, with a dash of spice from the world of speculative fiction. The Brahms Deception combines romance, history, and music, facilitated by time travel. My stories are set sometimes in the past, occasionally in the future, and often, especially with The Glass Butterfly, in a rather strange and mysterious present. I hope not to be restricted to any one genre, because so many of them interest me.
Recently, I've been writing under a pseudonym based on my maiden name. As Cate Campbell, I've published three novels in the Benedict Hall series. They are strictly historical fiction, stories about a wealthy family in Seattle in the 1920s. For more on those books, please visit me at www.catecampbell.net.
I'm fortunate to live in the Pacific Northwest, with my husband and son and Scottish Terrier, where there is an abundance of resources for writers. Clarion West was pivotal in my development as a writer, and there is a whole host of people here who support and encourage each other–Greg Bear, Vonda McIntyre, Robin Hobb, Kay Kenyon, Richard Paul Russo, Brenda Cooper, Cat Rambo . . . too many to list them all.
I'm a practicing Roman Catholic, an enthusiastic cook with an interest in health food, an avid yogi, and a happy golfer, although it takes up too much of my writing time. I love rambling at the dog park with my Scottie, Piper, and I love writing. I still read for pleasure, because I think if I don't read for fun, I won't write for fun. Books should be fun.
I love to visit middle schools and high schools to talk about writing and about speculative fiction. I appreciate e-mails and notes from readers. I also love conventions, and the fans who attend them. They give me inspiration, input, community, and friendship.

Holding pattern | Immigrants in Spanish enclave turn to fútbol
Recently arrived immigrants play outside the holding center in Melilla on 15 Oct 2005. (Alvaro Barrientos | AP)
Melilla, Spain | For a taste of the familiar after months-long journeys by land and sea, football has much to offer hundreds of displaced Africans. Recently the CETI Club de Fútbol started to compete in a 10-team city league in this Spanish enclave on the coast of northern Morocco.
CETI stands for Centro de Estancia Temporal de Inmigrantes, the holding facility for the undocumented migrants who frantically scaled a 3-meter fence last year to gain entry. Eleven died in Melilla and Ceuta, another enclave further west, as the result of clashes with security forces. Although Morocco claims ownership of Melilla, it has remained in Spanish hands for more than 500 years and remains the only piece of Europe sharing a land border with Africa. Writes Paqui Sanchez for the Associated Press:
Soccer is a way to have fun and kill time as they try to obtain work and residency papers, which for many is probably a hopeless mission. … "Although they don't have the discipline and professionalism needed to play soccer today, they have more than enough fight and commitment," said Juan Carlos Redondo, the CETI coach.
The idea of incorporating members of the CETI community, with Guinea Bissau, Cameroon, Algeria, Mali, India and Nigeria among the nations represented, comes from the Melilla football federation. Instead of spending time doing menial jobs or in idleness, the players gain purpose and can apply the dedication that enabled them to endure long separations from family and excruciating journeys across the Sahara. Some arrivals in Ceuta even swam from the African mainland to reach the Spanish-controlled waterfront.
Now that the desert routes are thoroughly policed, the preferred route to the European Union, although perhaps more treacherous, is from Mauritania to the Canary Islands, several hundred miles in wooden fishing canoes. More than 1,000 have died over the past four months while trying to make the crossing.
Links: Inverness-born writer Ali Smith reports for the Sunday Times Magazine (U.K.) on the limbo facing these migrants seeking refuge in Ceuta and Melilla. A driver with the Nobel Prize–winning Medicins sans frontieres takes Smith to the infamous Ceuta fence, "literally layers of fence, fences that rise up out of the sea to a height of three metres, hairy with barbed wire."
[The driver takes] us to see the border. He takes us past the impenetrable-looking forest where the largest camp was, before the rush on the wall and before the police slashed the tents, burnt the blankets, bullied the immigrants, confiscated all the mobiles. A thousand people lived here in what was pretty much a township with its own restaurant, law system and 4pm daily football matches in its own "stadium". Now it's a wreck of rubbish, but still the only shelter for a couple of hundred people who spend their day avoiding the security patrols, in the cold crags of a nearby mountain they've named Tranquilos (Peace), only descending at night.

B-to-B CEOs Discuss Biggest Challenges at Annual ABM Meeting
Agility, continued engagement and stubborn legacy issues top priorities.
B-to-B media executives from all over the country gathered in Charleston, South Carolina for ABMŌĆÖs annual meeting last month called ŌĆ£New Ideas, New Revenue, New Profits.ŌĆØ While strategies such as lead generation, content marketing and data products were featured panel discussions, the event became a sounding board for executives to deliberate over how to navigate a vastly different media landscape.
In his opening remarks as the new board chairman, Apprise Media chairman and CEO Charles McCurdy was uncharacteristically bemused over b-to-b mediaŌĆÖs state of transformation. ŌĆ£We donŌĆÖt even have a vocabulary for our business anymore,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre not building our business around brands anymore in any sense of the word, weŌĆÖre building it around customer insights. ThereŌĆÖs no one word to describe what we produce. What do we call this?ŌĆØ
One of the morning sessions, a CEO roundtable, encapsulated the challenges many b-to-b media leaders are facing today. High on the priority list are issues like growing and maintaining customer engagement, staying agile and persistent legacy issues, they said.
Panelists included Business.com vice president and general manager Rob Feinstein; Jeff Killeen, chairman and CEO of GlobalSpec; and Steve Weitzner, chairman and CEO of Ziff Davis Enterprise.
Feinstein noted that Business.comŌĆÖs challenge is to boost user engagement, particularly in ways that cater to a community that is increasingly relying on each other for market information. At the same time, said Feinstein, vendors are chomping at the bit to insert themselves into that conversation, but the challenge is to do it with diplomacy. ŌĆ£On the flip side of the user engagement equation is how can our advertisers engage to help them get leads.ŌĆØ
Legacy issues are still a significant challenge at GlobalSpec, which features a user registration model with more than six million customers and started as a pure-play online company and serves the ŌĆ£hard coreŌĆØ industrial products sector. While trying to stay ahead of the innovation curve, GlobalSpec is finding that it has to pull part of its client base along with it. ŌĆ£One of our absolute biggest challenges is missionary selling and educating our client base on digital media altogether,ŌĆØ said Killeen.
Advertisers Want More Data
A sub-theme to the conversation was metrics and how advertisers are demanding more of themŌĆöa development thatŌĆÖs largely behind the lead-generation craze thatŌĆÖs gripped the b-to-b market for the last couple years, and one that has some companies struggling to support the burgeoning data needs of advertising clients. ŌĆ£In a two-year cycle, weŌĆÖve gone from CPM to cost-per-click to cost-per-whatever action the client wants,ŌĆØ said Weitzner. ŌĆ£And thatŌĆÖs part of the agility issue. If you donŌĆÖt want to be a foregone conclusion with dwindling revenue you have to stay ahead of that.ŌĆØ
Both Killeen and Feinstein noted that theyŌĆÖve built their own proprietary versions of Google Analytics as platforms to help their clients monitor customer data. Business.com clients embed code on their sites that tracks customer transactions with custom content, such as whitepapers, on Business.com.
And all the while, noted Weitzner, the core principles of a brand are changing quickly. ŌĆ£For us, ŌĆśbrandŌĆÖ is not what it was even two years ago. Our customers want us to put content on their sites, they want us to build audience for them, they want to build their own databases. If weŌĆÖre not in that business, weŌĆÖre going to go backwards.ŌĆØ

I was chatting with Vince Foster (@exantefactor on Twitter) and we exchanged some interesting ideas. This talking to people and fleshing out concepts may even catch fire someday. So Vince pointed out that the Fed had moved away from terminal dates in its LSAP programs to mitigate the end point risk and developed a basic criteria for "open ended" action. That criteria was, allegedly, some level of Unemployment combined or in association with some inflation expected or realized. That metric was then tweaked to the amorphous and clearly made up "cost/benefit analysis" after Abenomics became more popular than Puffy Ami Yumi.
Enter "Tapering" a market trial balloon of Felix Baumgartner magnitude. Assets around the Globe have descended rapidly and sometimes spinning out of control as "the QE that doesn't work" reestablished the notion of gravity. Tapering is a broken commitment. A ruse bordering on the confirming of a lie. Real yields have jumped markedly but inflation expectations have declined some. GDP has softened with the usual mix of late and heavily revised inputs. The Unemployment rate-participation and part time adjusted- is hanging around. Which of the 2 metrics for advancing "open ended LSAP" would the Fed lay at the feet of the god Taper to appease the markets? I would submit that markets are reacting to the notion that the Fed is "winging it" (our description of cost/benefit rhetoric at the time). Uncertainty, opacity and re-metricing, intended or accidental, are merely green lights for markets that atrophy under the pressure of CB induced "stability" to get up and move around.
Its a good thing.

Who made the list?
December 19th, 2012
Christmas is my favourite time of the year! The crass commercialism, the gifts, the music – what's not to love?!?!? But seriously I do love this time of year and I do think that there is a large number of Christmas songs that do not make you want to reach for the turkey to numb your pain with tryptophan. This week on the show it's The Wedge's Christmas party!!! We have tons of fun planned! Guests! Food! SSSSSOOOOO MMMMMUUUUUUUCCCCCHHHHH FUN. But we also have Christmas music that isn't terrible… unless it is so bad it is amazing. Here are five seasonal cuts we weren't able to feature on the show… Because they don't have videos.
Fear "Fuck Christmas"
Fear's most enduring footnote to mainstream music history is probably that the band destroyed the SNL set in the early '80s. This obscures the fact that they were an amazing band both live and on record. However, they were never the band that one could accuse of pandering to the holidays. Few songs could be accused of holiday pandering less however, than this song. Short brutal and to the point and the point is Christmas sucks so fuck it! Also on the intro you get to hear singer Lee Ving show off the chops he earned as a singing waiter in the Catskills.
Alan Milman Sect "Punk Rock Christmas"
A Killed By Death holiday classic if there ever was one! The "Punk Rock Christmas" song (both legit and fake cash-in novelty) have been around since the punk rock explosion of the late '70s. This record, while not strictly a cash-in, had motivations that some would describe as less than pure is raised above it's peers by it's sludgy production and primal stomp.
Juelz Santana & Starr "Jingle Bellz"
On the show we are playing a Jim Jones video but given Dipset's love of the holidays and the brilliance of this video, how could we not include another of the Set's Christmas classics? Sit back and enjoy.

The bureaucrat in the Office of Interior Development expects us to solve a riddle before he will even SEE us? You're kidding me right? Oh, you're not kidding…
Deep within the bowels of the perilous labyrinth, the fearless heroes come upon a grand, ornate chest. Eager for more plunder to line their pockets with, they heave up the lid - to find nothing. A red herring? Maybe not.
If one listens to the aether, one can hear the vibrations traveling through space. If one listens carefully one can hear what is said. - Lord Caasi on Aetherschreibers
The boat floats on what?
Air, the Aquaverso makes it float on air.
12 years ago: When Lord Caasi turns his restless mind to the ancient art of alchemy, he unleashes Philosopher's Mercury, a primal source of matter and a key to manipulating the four elements of Danmatum, Lux, Phlegm and Gas
A traditional weapon among certain primitive tribes such as the Powi,this strange paste derived from the Ahal nut has been used to suprise and encumber many an opponent.
Many are those who have worn this beautiful golden choker and paid for it with their lives. On the surface it appears to be no more then a very well crafted piece of jewelry.However, once put on it locks around the wearer's neck and can only be undone with a certain key. When it is put on, a soundless clockwork timer starts.Three hours after it has been put on, a sharp blade comes out of it and slits the wearer's throat.Attempts to pull or cut it off will also trigger the blade and besides, under a thin golden coating it is made of iron, and so hard to break.
There is a spell which can hold the blade in check for a far longer time, up to a maximum of a week.Another spell can set the blade off early.
Thin, tough, gummy almost to a point of rubber, and pitch black in color, it was only by sheer accident that anyone outside the drow race ever learned it was food.
a very useful exotic weapon
It looks very much like a normal short stabbing spear, wih a bulbous metalic haft and a slight greenish sheen on it's razor-sharp blade. But those who have encountered it and lived to tell the tale, or used it themselves, know differently…
A Nose Ring? Yep, a nose ring. The ancient symbol of power of the trolls and said to have magical abilities….

Bearded Man: Gunjii a super sticky gum.

This mace, is the symbol of the kadumish dwarve's independence. In the days of old, the dwarves were defeated and invaded by the dragon men, who enslaved the dwarves. Dranothoin, stood up to them wit his mighty mace and smote the granite statue of the dragon men god. This inspired the dwarves to revolt.
4 bladed claw weapon, with the fourth blade in a rather unusual place.
A metal found deep in the bowels of the earth. It stays warm even after years away from the forge.
A particularly volatile element, Imuricum is found in Adamantite covered by Red Mui'aan Fungus. Only the greatest of alchemists dare attempt extracting Raw Imuricum; only the most foolish metallurgists mix it with inferior materials, and only the bravest blacksmiths will create weapons from this rare and dangerous metal.
Maybe in the future, you can earn money by allowing yourself to be possessed by the genius loci of Taco Bell. And then it just spews ads out of your mouth during all the times you aren't using it.

NEW YORK -- Bellying up to the bar on a Carnival cruise ship is about to get a lot more interesting, thanks to a massive fleetwide overhaul unveiled on Monday.
The line revealed plans for five new branded drinking venues that will roll out on multiple Carnival ships over the next four years as part of $500 million in upgrades. Read more about what Carnival unveiled.
Among the new venues is a sports bar branded around video game manufacturer EA Sports and a tequila bar to be called BlueIguana. The line also plans a branded rum bar and two branded cocktail lounges.
Artist's drawings of the new concepts are at the right, starting at the top with the EA Sports Bar. Carnival says the venue is designed to be the "ultimate hangout for sports fanatics" and will offer the chance to play EA Sports videogames and watch live sports on a video wall behind the bar made up of 16 big screens. Real-time sports scores will be displayed around-the-clock on an electronic ticker.
The second drawing from the top shows the RedFrog Rum Bar, a poolside version of the Caribbean-themed RedFrog Pub that debuted earlier this year on the Carnival Magic (becoming the first pub on a Carnival ship). It'll serve rum-based frozen drinks and beers, including Carnival's new private label ThirstyFrog Red.
The third drawing from the top shows the BlueIguana Tequila Bar, which Carnival says will offer a laid-back Mexican-themed atmosphere and specialize in tequila-based frozen drinks and Mexican beers.
The fourth drawing from the top shows the pharmacy-themed Alchemy Bar, which will serve cocktails. The line says Carnival mixologists, as it is dubbing bartenders, will "prescribe" unusual concoctions at the outlet.
Rounding out the five new bars, as shown in the fifth illustration, is the library-themed Library Bar, designed as a quieter retreat for cruisers. It'll offer wine out of automatic wine dispensers.
In addition to the five new bars, Carnival on Monday also announced plans for a new Mexican taqueria and burrito station to be called the BlueIguana Cantina (the sixth drawing from the top). It'll be located on ships near the new BlueIguana Tequila Bars.
The new venues are in addition to a new burger joint branded around Food Network star Guy Fieri that the line on Monday said will be rolling out across its fleet. Read about Carnival's new partnership with Guy Fieri.
Carnival says it will add the new bars and eateries to 15 of its 23 ships as they go into dry dock for repairs between now and the end of 2015 (though not every ship will get every venue). The first ship to receive the upgrades will be the Carnival Liberty, which is getting an overhaul in dry dock this month. Next up for the new outlets, in 2012: the Carnival Dream, Carnival Splendor, Carnival Conquest and Carnival Glory. The still-under-construction, Carnival Breeze, scheduled to debut in May 2012, also will feature many of the venues.
Cruise Loggers, share your thoughts below.

Indictments In California
The owners of Our House Defines Art, an El Dorado Hills art gallery and framing business, were indicted Wednesday on eight counts of conspiracy to defraud the Social Security Administration.
A federal grand jury returned the indictment, which alleges Mary Margaret Donnelly, aka Mary Margaret Wittekind, and Michael Glen Donnelly, aka Michael Hubbs, falsely claimed to be disabled and not working from 2002 - 2007, when they were in fact working on their gallery. The indictment says the Cameron Park couple used $70,000 in disability benefits they were not entitled to.

Canada Condemns Attack in Uganda
(No. 220 - July 12, 2010 - 2:50 p.m. ET) The Honourable Lawrence Cannon, Minister of Foreign Affairs, today condemned the July 11 attack in Kampala, Uganda.
"Canada strongly condemns yesterday's attack in Kampala, Uganda," said Minister Cannon. "More than 70 people were killed and many more injured following the explosion of bombs at two different locations. On behalf of all Canadians, I extend our condolences to the families and friends of the victims.
"We urge the Government of Uganda to find and prosecute the perpetrators of this violent crime.
"Al Shabaab, an Islamist militant group from Somalia, has claimed responsibility for the attack. Canada listed Al Shabaab as a terrorist organization in March 2010.
"Terrorism threatens people everywhere and undermines our fundamental values. We support the Government of Uganda's efforts to work closely with its regional partners to prevent and constrain terrorism so as to protect human rights, democratic values and the rule of law."
Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada and the Consulate of Canada in Uganda are closely monitoring the aftermath of the explosions.
Consular officials are in contact with local authorities and stand ready to provide consular assistance as required. At this time there are no confirmed reports of Canadian casualties.
Friends and relatives in Canada seeking information on Canadian citizens believed to be in Kampala should contact DFAIT's Emergency Operations Centre in Ottawa by calling 1-800-387-3124, or, for those in Ottawa, 613-943-1055, or by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Two Montana State University professors -- one a pioneer in the field of nanoscience and the other a master teacher of ideas and English literature -- have been named Montana University System Regents Professors, the most prestigious designation to be attained by a professor in the system.
The Montana Board of Regents unanimously approved the designation for Trevor Douglas, a professor of chemistry and biochemistry, and English professor Michael Sexson at their November meetings. The two received a standing ovation from the crowd on hand at the meeting.
"It is with great pride that Montana State University nominated these two amazing professors who epitomize excellence in each area of our mission -- teaching, research and outreach," said MSU President Waded Cruzado.
Douglas and Sexson are the sixth and seventh MSU professors to be named Regents Professors. Others include philosophy professor Gordon Brittan, named in 1986 and now retired; John Carlsten, a physics professor selected in 1992; Paul Grieco, a chemistry and biochemistry professor selected in 2006; Jack Horner, professor of paleontology selected in 2001; and Brett Walker, history professor selected in 2008.
Douglas came to MSU in 2001 and in 2003 co-founded the MSU Center for Bio-inspired NanoMaterials and has introduced the science of extremely small entities to young students Bozeman through NanoDays and Science Saturdays. He also has taken the outreach programs to students on Montana reservations as well as his native South Africa.
Douglas is noted for his research as well as his creative approach to the synthesis of nanomaterials featuring his design of proteins cages and his targeted use of nanomaterials. He has secured more than $20 million in grant funding, and he has published more than 150 scientific papers about his research in some of the world's most prestigious scientific journals. Other scientists have cited his work more than 900 times in the last year alone and nearly 3,000 during Douglas' career. His mentoring of students ranging from freshmen to postdoctoral fellows has inspired others to become scientists, professors and leaders in industry.
Sexson is known as a master teacher and a luminous intellectual presence at MSU who has brought passion, energy and depth to his classroom since he began at the university in 1966. He is recognized for igniting the imaginations and academic passions of thousands of students. Years after they have taken his classes, his former students, who are now in professions such as business, law and medicine, say that they have become supporters of the arts and humanities because of Sexson's near magical ability to excite them about often difficult topics ranging from myths to Shakespeare.
A writer of books and scores of articles, Sexson is also known as an innovator and organizer of public humanities. Throughout the decades he has organized intellectual conferences that include Eclipse '79 and Logon '83. With his wife, religious studies professor Lynda Sexson, he has produced the Corona journal and, most recently, Corona Productions.
Sexson is also the voice of MSU commencement. For decades he has read the name of each candidate for graduation with grace and distinction.
Cruzado said she is pleased with the honor because the professors represent the essence of the university.
"All of us at MSU are deeply appreciative of the work of these two wonderful professors and congratulate them on their accomplishment," Cruzado said.

First phase of home replacements begins
By 02/13/2003 00:00:00
The Ellis County Press
FERRIS - Mayor Jimmie Birdwell fulfilled one of his campaign promises when bulldozers rumbled through a Ferris housing section Monday and began tearing down homes as part of the federal government's Home Program.
Applicants, who usually are lower-income families, applied to obtain remodeling of their existing homes, or a new home altogether.
Birdwell said during last year's mayoral campaign the home program was tops on his list.
He said he led a previous council through the money grant process, but after retiring from his mayor's seat, the home program did not go forward.
Now, Birdwell said, Ferris has received a $300,000 grant to tear down five residents' homes and rebuild each of them a new brick home on the existing lots. In addition, one home in Ferris qualified for being rehabilitated.

Hi Sebastien
Just saying a quick hello and also wondering how your Dad is these days. It sure would be nice to have him say hello on this forum and tell us what he is up to of late. I was lunching in KFC in Tasmania Australia the other day and a gent sat down that in my mind very closely resembled Chris and so I wondered how he was. Though I have sold my plane, I still peruse the forum when I get the chance to stay up to date with new developments. I will someday soon be plans building the 750 Cruzer. I think that you have ticked a lot of boxes with this design and congratulate you.
Say Hi to the pioneer for me.
Phill Barnes
Tasmania Australia
Hi Sebastian. I am much better, I hope you continue with your dream. Big Hug.
Hi Sebastien,
Had I lived closer to most members, I might make upgrade kits for CH 701 with a (downloadable?) 'how to' manual complete with photos, drawings and videos on flight testing. With everything shown for DIY, many will want to just put cut and formed parts together the most expeditious way.
But as is, I'd rather have you do it, if you want to. ;^)
As a retiree, building CH 701 is a very good hobby. I like it since my first flight with the previous owner in Puerto Rico. If the Honda Viking can make good record here, my third Zenith airplane might be another roomy (modified) CH 701 to take up my huge sons.
Glad to see you will be working on a headroom mod for the 701 too!
Let me know when you get that done and I will be one of your 1st customers to order it.
Hi Mr Heinz,
I have a question if I may... I have a CH701 and I asked for a 1200lbs gross instead of the usual 1100 lbs. Since it's a NEW AIRPLANE (amateur built in Canada) the MD-RA inspector (for amateur built) requested a letter from the designer (or representative) stating it can be flown at 1200 lbs GW - but that the load factor/limit will be affected... Plans for the CH701 already states that and show the calculation in such a case. I sent him a copy of the page but that won't do. I also sent him a copy of the Canadian Aircraft Registration table showing CH701s already approved at 1200lbs (and sometimes more) and still it won't do.
Is there such a document stating that the CH701 can be flown at 1200 lbs provided the pilot is aware that load limits will go from +6/-3 G downt to +5.5/-2.8 G ?
The inspector told me I could register the plane at 1100lbs and after request an upgrade to 1200lbs to Transpost Canada which will be given right away. The inspector doesn't want to do it without the Letter because it will be on his head and if T.C. does it, he stays in the clear.
If I can't get the Letter, I'll have to refile all paperwork, get my flight permit and ask for the increased GW afterwards... Delays, Delays, bureaucraty and such...
I Know of quite a few builders that have requested 1200lbs from the start and were never bothered with this...
Can you help ?

Sebastian, next time I'll have fresh batteries in the headset and enable the intercom, duh! Thanks for all the great advice.
Hi Sebastien,
My wife and I attended the Oct. 20th workshop. We were discussing files for deburring, the file I was to explaining to you is a nib file.
people are saying : the savanna (which is an copy of our CH701) flies faster and perform better ????
