Concern Over Safety of Malian World Heritage Sites
UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, as part of the 1972 Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, is dedicated to the protection of "certain places on Earth that are of outstanding universal value and…form part of the common heritage of mankind." As such, it has recently expressed concern over the safety of the sixteen UNESCO designated World Heritage sites in Timbuktu, Mali. This part of West Africa is rich in important buildings and artifacts including more than 100 000 historical manuscripts which cover a variety of different subjects. The historical significance and the sensitivity of the conservation of these artifacts have been addressed by the Timbuktu Educational Foundation. The NGO, which is commited to protecting the manuscripts, has referred to them as "part of the intellectual heritage of West Africa." The organization cites the manuscripts as important proof of the advanced intellectual and cultural status of the city of Timbuktu, and as important evidence of African and Islamic thought and intellectual contributions to the world.
In early May the Director General of UNESCO issued a statement appealing to all parties in Mali to respect the country's cultural artifacts. Particular apprehension was expressed over the possibility of the illegal trade of important artifacts and manuscripts. Preventing the illicit trade of cultural artifacts has formed a central part of UNESCO's mandate since the 1970 Convention for the Fight Against the Illicit Trafficking of Cultural Property.
Current political context
The reason for the perceived threat to Malian cultural heritage is related to the political unrest that has plagued northern Mali since January 2012.
At present, this region of Mali is under the control of Tuareg separatist movement, the National Movement for the Liberation of the Azawad (MNLA), the Al-Qaida Organisation in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) and an Islamist group called Ansar Dine. Though the extent of the connections between these groups is unclear, they have been cooperatively engaged in opposition to the central Malian government.
The Tuaregs, an ethnic group who inhabit the northern part of Mali, have had an historically testy, and at times, violent relationship with the Malian central government. Since January 2012, a new Tuareg separatist movement, MNLA, supported by Tuareg fighters returning from the conflict in Libya, has been fighting for independence of the Northern territory. The group declared the north of Mali, a region called Azawad, an independent region on April 6, a move rejected by both the Malian government and the international community at large. Timbuktu is a part of this northern territory, and fell to the Tuareg fighters on April 1, 2012.
Consequently, Timbuktu, and by extension its historical sites and artifacts are now under the control of AQIM and Ansar Dine. Though separate from the MNLA, the two Islamist groups have been to some extent allied or friendly with the Tuareg separatist movement, and all fight in concert for military control of Northern Mali.
Furthermore, these events have contributed to political instability within the central Malian government. Due to discontent over the way in which the central Malian government has handled the rebellion, members of the military unlawfully deposed the President, Amadou Toumani Touré on March 22. The military has since handed control back to a civilian transitional government, but the turmoil has made resolving the rebellion in the North, as well as the status of Timbuktu and its World Heritage sites, more difficult.
On May 28 the MNLA and Ansar Dine announced that they had formed a coalition with the goal of establishing an independent state. Initially, the MNLA and Ansar Dine had different political projects – the MNLA fought for independence for the northern region, while Ansar Dine wanted to implement Sharia law in all of Mali. Slate Afrique reports that a central component of the compromise struck between the two groups includes the acceptance by Ansar Dine of the autonomous nature of the northern region. Relatedly, MNLA has agreed that Islam will serve as the region's official religion.
Competing accounts of an attack
Concerns over Mali's cultural heritage were heightened on May 5, 2012 when there were reports of an attack on the World Heritage site, the mausoleum of Sidi Mahmoud Ben Amar, an ancient scholar who is considered a holy saint by many of the Sufi Muslims of Timbuktu. According to local religious belief, the mosques form a rampart that guards the city from any type of misfortune. Since the alleged attack citizens have been prevented access to this important religious site.
Unfortunately, a complete and verifiable account of the events has yet to materialize. According toUNESCO, the front door of the mausoleum and its curtains were burned. International news source Agence France-Presse spoke with a local official who said, "Members of AQIM, supported by Ansar Dine, have destroyed the tomb of Saint Sidi (Mamoud Ben) Amar. They set fire to the tomb. They promised to destroy other tombs, Timbuktu is in shock. Now they want to take and control of other tombs and manuscripts."
The only response issued by the groups purported to be behind the attack was a statement made by Sanda Oul Bomama, a spokesperson for Ansar Dine. His account differed from the claims of the local official. In a statement to Al Jazeera he said "A new member of the Ansar Dine group came to Timbuktu and went to the tomb of Sidi Mahmoud Ben Amar on Friday to tell the faithful praying there that the saints should not be adored." The spokesman did not reveal whether, or to what extent, Ansar Dine or the AQIM supported the man's actions.
Both the AQIM and Ansar Dine subscribe to a Salafist reading of Islamic scripture and therefore view some of the practices of the local Sufi variant of Islam to be heretical. Specifically, they believe these practices run counter to the literal interpretation of Islamic scriptures and their strict religious values. Al Jazeera reports that though the Sufi believe that shrines are part of religious custom, Salafist groups contest that they constitute the sin of idolatry.
Following the attack, the Malian government issued a statement condemning the willful damage of the mausoleum, saying, "We have learned with indignation of the desecration of tombs perpetrated by lawless individuals. The government condemns in the strongest terms this unspeakable act in the name of Islam, a religion of tolerance and respect for human dignity." No further damage to artifacts or World Heritage sites has been reported since.
Response of UNESCO and the Malian government
Timbuktu has been an important city in the Sahel region of Africa, experiencing a golden age between 1493-1591 under the Askia dynasty. Established as a seasonal camp, it later grew to become an intellectual and trading centre for the region. Its golden age was during its time under the Askia dynasty, from 1493-1591. Through its mosques and the University of Sankore, the city was an important centre of Islamic thought and culture.
Many of the World Heritage sites are important testaments to these periods in West African history. Three major mosques, some of the oldest in West Africa, from the 14th and 15th centuries, are still standing and recall the golden age of Timbuktu. First, the Mosque of Djingareyber was built by the Sultan Kankan Moussa in 1325, with its a signature minaret that is the central landmark in the city. The Mosque of Sankore was built afterward, between 1578 and 1582. Its design of mud walls over a wooden framework are said to be what allowed it to remain standing, as it facilitated repairs after the rainy seasons. The final World Heritage mosque site in Timbuktu is the mosque of Sidi Yahia, which was built around 1400. These, as well as sixteen mausoleums each of which play a role in local religious practices, have all been designated World Heritage sites by UNESCO. Director-General ofUNESCO, Irina Bokova, stressed the importance of these monuments, stating "Timbuktu's outstanding earthen architectural wonders that are the great mosques of Djingareyber, Sankore and Sidi Yahia, must be safeguarded. Along with the site's sixteen cemeteries and mausolea, they are essential to the preservation of the identity of the people of Mali and of our universal heritage."
From May 18-20, Lalla Aicha Ben Barka, UNESCO's Assistant Director-General for Africa, met with senior Malian government officials in order to develop a strategy to safeguard the structural integrity of the World Heritage sites in Mali. It outlines responsibilities for both the Malian government and UNESCO.
On March 24, Mali agreed to finalize its accession to the 1999 Second Protocol to the Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict. This will enable Mali to request increased protection from the international community for cultural artifacts deemed important to humanity. Additionally, Mali has said that it will appeal for the sites in Timbuktu and the Tomb of Askia be added to the list of the World Heritage in Danger. Mali is also planning to draft a report on the measures of preservation of its World Heritage conventions, as well as submit a request to the international community for technical and international assistance.
UNESCO has agreed to present the World Heritage Committee, the branch of UNESCO concerned with the implementation of the World Heritage Convention of 1972, with a detailed report including measures needed for protection of the World Heritage sites in Mali. It intends to also help raise awareness of the issue of illicit trafficking of cultural artifacts in order to curtail such illegal activity. Finally, the World Heritage Committee plans to work in conjunction with other humanitarian groups in order to further its aims in Mali.
Whether these actions will be sufficient in preserving Mali's cultural heritage remains to be seen.

the Kings beat the Blues last season, won the cup, and beat the Blues again this season by out Bluesing the Blues. They are very similar teams - solid goaltending, solid team defense, big physical forwards with just enough scoring ability to make do. But the Kings are frankly better than the Blues in every aspect of that equation, particularly scoring.
Unlike last season when the Kings basically dominated the Blues, you could argue the Blues for the most part outplayed the Kings in this series. But they converted our defensive lapses into goals; and we could not reciprocate.
Frankly, the Blues lack first line offensive talent. They have three lines that are legitimately second line caliber and a very functional fourth line. They even have players who could be secondary talents on a legitimate first line, but they have no elite scorers; no player you would build an #1 line around. The only 'St Louis' that appears among the league scoring leaders plays for Tampa.
Had this been a normal season, this team would have been assumed to have made the playoffs and contended for the division title and would have been judged solely on how far they made it in the playoffs. But the lockout, shortened western conference only schedule, and injuries especially in goal made making the playoffs and gaining home ice seem like an accomplishment.
Keith Jones suggested tonight that this series represents 'progress' for the Blues, because it was harder for the Kings to eliminate us this year than last. What this series really represents is a need to recognize that this core is simply not good enough to win the Cup. A first round exit for this team does not constitute progress.

The PS Vita version of Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault is now slated for a January 2013 release but the PlayStation 3 version is still coming out Nov. 27 in North America. If you pick up Full Frontal Assault on PS3, you'll get a downloadable version for Vita with cross-save and competitive cross-play support.
We reported last month that the game was coming Nov. 27 and would set you back $20. Tin Giant is working on bringing Insomniac's PS3 game to Vita, and it was announced today that it simply needs more time in the development oven.
"In order to provide the best gameplay experience possible, the PS Vita version of Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault will be coming out in January 2013," a Sony rep said in a statement on the official PS Blog.
You can still pick up the PS3 version at retailers and on the PSN on Nov. 27 but you'll have to wait a couple more months before trying out the Vita version. However, to reward your patience, the first DLC, the Mini-Boss Skin Pack, will be given when you purchase the game on PS3. It features three fan-favorite boss characters.
Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault on Vita delayed

Actually, that's pretty much my take on life. The taste for psycho-Beach milieus whetted, it seemed appropriate to take in the Jekyll & Hyde cast party at Cheetah Club. Throughout, the place worked as a time warp to Forties glamour, the building having once housed the legendary Chandler's Steak House; before that, Fan & Bill's restaurant occupied the space, hyping Harry S Truman as a client. Since that heyday, the nostalgia-suffused ambiance A over-the-top and thoroughly wonderful A hasn't changed much; it's still dominated by whorehouse-red accents and an orgiastic, vulgar opulence. These days the decor has become a kind of permanent talisman. In between inhalations of French chef Bernard Marcel Goupy's excellent hors d'oeuvres A no onion rings or kreplach at the Cheetah Club A the place's regulars applauded the arrival of Jekyll & Hyde stars Robert Cuccioli and Linda Eder. Only sort of famous but very nice, and, God knows, nightlife people of any epoch can identify with Robert Louis Stevenson's immortal story, the study of good and evil.
In the purely good category, a dinner engagement with old friends (always ready with an item or a kind word) dictated a jaunt down to South Miami for economy sushi. One of the guests, who teaches kids in Overtown, brought along a handwritten dictionary of cutting-edge slang compiled by a female student. The language is rich stuff, perfect for an "up there" book deal with "green-cheez" potential. In the meantime, the juicier material will serve as fodder for some H.L. Mencken-inspired reportage, notes on the way we talk now. Yet again black culture serves as the wellspring for American popular culture, the vital creative impetus that eventually will make its way to white-bread malls everywhere.
The aging suburbanites in attendance immediately determined that they were "pimps" and "suckers" -- meaning "soft boys" -- and maybe a tad "chizad" (crazy as all get-out). Across the board we were "O.B.," played out and definitely missing out on the more lurid aspects of romance, the subject of some particularly vibrant terminology. "Ridin' on my dick," "sweatin'," and "jokin'" apply to both sexes, all of them defined as "someone all up on you because they like how you look, the way you act, or what you got." The term "deeze nuts" is affectionate shorthand for one's member, also applied to both genders. To lure in the opposite sex, one's words and style ("mack," "games," "tech") are important but do not guarantee success. A reluctant woman might be considered "crooked," some "fucked-up bitch ass" who may not be "strickly dickly" (wholeheartedly heterosexual). The word splak refers both to having sex and stealing a car. The promiscuous are "hoochies"; for them a "jimmy" or a "cage" -- a condom -- might be in order, or else they'll fall prey to the double-entendre inherent in engaging in carefree intercourse ("RIP").
In other strains of interpersonal relations, the critical issue of fighting for respect -- everyone's greatest challenge -- is thoroughly represented. To "size" is to try someone's patience, and if a friend is "willin'" -- acting stupid -- one either "eases" (rolls the eyes heavenward) or tells the fool in question to "recognize" A understand who they're dealing with. In some cases it's better to "flex," i.e., walk away. In extreme instances one can "smoke 'em" with a "gak" A shoot to kill. Conversely, if someone "breaks you off," they're giving you something big, from money on down. The world of recreation-meets-profit entails "cessed" (being stoned) and "slangin'" (dealing drugs). More innocently, one could go "jookin'" (dancing) or do a little "chillin'," a term that's already passed into cliche. The heartbreaker of mankind, "no love," means exactly what it does elsewhere -- no love.
Another night, another party -- the KVG Colour Spa and Salon debut in the Van Dyke Building -- and everyone's jokin' the joker, the social reporter without a grip. The salon, owned by acclaimed hair colorist Kelly Van Gogh, showed off its facial and massage capabilities, as well as displayed a talent for entertaining with a certain grandeur. An agitated rock combo played in one corner, and the place was packed with Brie-nibbling, martini-sipping guests of the I-want-to-be-beautiful-at-any-cost school. A floating covey of models A all brutal grace, like egrets with bad personal habits A rounded out the social nexus, fueling the eternal frisson of envy, loathing, and figure warfare among the less comely. I clung to an eddy in the whippet whirlpool and picked up a tale of a homegirl made good. Kerri Scharlin, the daughter of local banker/real estate tycoon Howard Scharlin and a faint acquaintance from my high school days, apparently has made something of an impression in New York City as a media-friendly neoconceptualist artist.

- 1 chipotle in adobo
- Kosher salt
- 1 large (about 5-ounce) poblano chile, seeded and finely chopped

Add the poblano, scallions, peas, and pumpkin seeds and pulse until the vegetables are coarsely chopped. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and knead in the remaining rice. Using moistened hands, form the mixture into four 4-inch patties, about 3/4 inch thick, pressing to compact.
- Preheat a grill pan or nonstick skillet. Brush the burgers with oil and grill over moderate heat until golden and crusty, about 5 minutes. Carefully flip them and grill until heated through and golden, about 5 minutes longer. Stuff the burgers into the pitas with lettuce, tomato slices, sour cream, and salsa.

Retinoic acid (RA), a derivative of vitamin A, plays a pivotal role in vertebrate development. The level of RA may be determined by the balance between its synthesis and degradation. We have examined the role of CYP26, a P450 enzyme that may degrade RA, by generating mutant mice that lack CYP26. CYP26(-/-) mice exhibited anomalies, including caudal agenesis, similar to those induced by administration of excess RA. The concentration of endogenous RA, as revealed by marker gene activity, was markedly increased in the tailbud of the mutant animals, in which CYP26 is normally expressed. Expression of T (Brachyury) and Wnt3a in the tailbud was down-regulated in CYP26(-/-) mice, which may underlie the caudal truncation. The lack of CYP26 also resulted in homeotic transformation of vertebrae as well as in misspecification of the rostral hindbrain associated with anterior expansion of RA-positive domains. These results suggest that local degradation of RA by CYP26 is required for establishing an uneven distribution of RA along the anterio-posterior axis, which is essential for patterning the hindbrain, vertebrae, and tailbud.

Is the smartphone market suffering from slow growth these days? Both Samsung and HTC were reported to have failed to reach their respective profit estimates for the quarter. And now, there are rumors saying that Apple may be cutting down its orders of iPhone components and suppliers are being alerted about it as early as now.
The "alleged" cutting down of iPhone parts orders were claimed by Brian Blair, an analyst from Wedge Partners. Blair said that Apple has already alerted their suppliers to expect as much as 20 percent for their iPhone parts orders from June to September. Blair said reports from supply-chain in China are saying that Apple has made a dramatic change in the their demand forecast. That change transcends into 20% cut on what Apple has planned to order from the suppliers from June to September.
Looking at specific numbers, Blair said that Apple has ordered iPhone components based on an estimated demand of around 115 to 120 million iPhones. With the 20% cut, those orders are no redeuced to 90 to 100 million iPhone.
As to the reason why Apple is cutting down its orders of iPhone parts, Blair said that the company maybe monitoring the slowing demand for the Samsung Galaxy S4. And this is the company's way of reacting to the current state of the high-end smartphone market.

An interesting trend I've noticed today here at dotTech, as well as earlier: articles about the iPhone, as well as Apple, get fewer user comments than other articles and than one might expect. I think that this reflects the reality that readers finally are tired of the overblown attention given Apple by the media . . . . Just saying.

In the last couple of years, I have found more relatives who have worked in mill towns in New England. That's why when I saw Polly Fitzgerald's post "Growing Up in a Massuchsetts Mill Town" on her Pollyblog I was eager to read it.
My Portuguese ancestors lived in a similar situation on Kauai in a sugar plantation community. From Polly's post, I see that some of their experience was equal: back breaking work, long hours, small communities living near their work. They probably shared a very similar experience as they went from their company built homes, to their company provided jobs, back their company built homes.
Work was very hard in both the mills and the plantations. Work was grueling. Hours were long. Some of the work was dangerous and it was not uncommon to have accidents that resulted in death.
There were two major difference between the plantation experience and the mill town. My Portuguese ancestors were brought to Hawaii under contract that was limited to 2 or 3 years. They only had to fulfill their contract. After that they were free to leave the plantation. Because Hawaii had no common currency, workers were paid in gold, which they saved for the day when they would move on. Many used that money to send their kids to college or to move the family to California where they were able to buy a home right from the start.
From Polly's article it looks like Mill workers came to their work on their own. In mill towns, mill work was the only option.
I think this quote from the post about her own relative sums it up very well:
"Family stories say that Vernetta was not able to continue her education after graduation from the Emily G. Wetherby School in 1906 at age 14, and was obliged to go directly to work in the woolen mills. If she did, it was only for a short while. And she was very lucky to have survived, given the above-cited statistics!"
That shows how hard life working in the mills must have been!
Polly, thank you for such an insightful post! I was able to learn a little bit about what the experience was like for the Portuguese and Irish relatives who ended up in mill towns.
I encourage everyone to read the post to learn more about mill towns and her Grandmother, Vernetta, who was able to leave the mill work behind her.

"The officer should have set up a rolling perimeter."
"The shooter was no longer a threat as his back was turned to the officer."
"Once he stops shooting and leaves the scene the imminent threat is gone."
And my personal favorite ...
"He violated policy by shooting at a moving vehicle!"
What are we talking about? Well if you missed last month's article catch up by watching the accompanying video and reading the article.
Up to date? Great. So what do you think?
I don't want to make this follow-up article too light or too glib, but I need to tell you: I'm having a helluva hard time seeing the other side of this situation.
I admit, I'm somewhat bias because I know Ross. But before I met him there wasn't an iota of a second where I doubted his response to being shot at.
If you check the comments by police officers at the end of the original as well as the discussions on the incredibly popular law officer Facebook page, you'll notice a common denominator: Jessop did what he had to do—he shot the bad guy.
But, as I mentioned in the first article, this doesn't mean that Ross didn't make some mistakes. He did. And he not only admits them, he points them out—even the ones no one would know about such as the perspective he had while approaching the motorist ("I thought he was a nice guy and just another DUI.") However, his general mistakes brought on by "routine" weren't the focus of my article.
My motivation to write about this two-year-old incident wasn't the incident itself but rather the aftermath. In particular, the opinions expressed. Not the ones spewed by the ever-present website whack-jobs. Not even the ones espoused by clueless media morons. Frankly, while they may make my Irish blood boil at times, I don't care what uneducated biased nitwits think.
I enjoy, and in fact encourage, debate within the profession. But, I get uneasy when administrators, officers and trainers not only get it wrong, but pass on flawed information to young impressionable officers. If those officers buy what they are being taught, they may wind up dead!
After the first article came out, no one contacted me directly to criticize the aftermath actions of Officer Jessop. Everyone, and I mean everyone, supported Ross' decision to shoot Raymond Thane Davis.
However, while no one openly criticized him, many officers, including Ross told me that they have heard that some supervisors, and maybe worse, trainers, have deemed Ross' response to be a "bad shoot."
The quotes that started this article are real comments, conveyed to me by police officers around this country. But, the quotes and opinions don't belong to those that passed them on to me, they belong to those officer's bosses and trainers. That's scary.
So let's examine them quickly.
1. "The officer should have set up a rolling perimeter."
Hey, I've been in this profession for a long time but I don't know what the hell that is. I know about rolling surveillance, and I guess I get the premise of a rolling perimeter. But in this case, I have a question: Are you kidding me? The whole damn town only had about 15 cops and only three were working. So somebody please explain to me how you accomplish this 'rolling perimeter.' Oh, and something I didn't mention in the first article. The motorist with mayhem and murderous intent had four more loaded guns in his vehicle. Two of them were rifles with scopes. So exactly how wide would this perimeter have to be?
2. "The shooter was no longer a threat as his back was turned to the officer."
This one is the dumbest. Imagine this theory being a reality from a legal standpoint. Bad guy shoots at a cop but quickly turns around and the only target available is the bad guys back. But since shooting him in the back is illegal—by the way, it's not—the officer has to wait until bad guy faces him again. Hmm ...
3. "Once he stops shooting and leaves the scene the imminent threat is gone."
So again, let's take this to its obvious conclusion. When is he a threat again? Do you let him simply drive away? Of course not. So, you gotta go and reengage, which means, another traffic stop. And let's pretend that he actually stops, now what? A regular approach? A felony stop? Either way, do you actually wait until he shoots again? Or do you simply shout to him, "Hey dude, you still in a murder-mood or are you over it? How about a hug."
And finally….
4. "He violated policy by shooting at a moving vehicle!"
I could spend hours on this one but let me streamline the article by jumping to the obvious: He wasn't shooting at a moving vehicle, he was shooting at the driver! A driver who tried five freakin' seconds ago to kill him.
We as bosses and trainers have to remain in reality as we lead and teach. Ross Jessop did exactly what he needed to do, he reacted appropriately to a deadly force threat. Anyone who is teaching anything to the contrary please rethink what you are doing. In fact, please, please contact me because I'd love to have this conversation and listen to how you think Ross could have handled this better.

Acton-area resident Emily Boycott has won many gold medals in Special Olympics' competitions and now she's added another from the recent Down Syndrome World Gymnastics Championships in England. Boycott's scores from the judges in the hoop, ball, clubs and ribbon disciplines were tops in the Senior Level 4 category— 72.450 out of 80. The competition included teams from Brazil, Canada, Great Britain, Italy, Ireland, Mexico, Portugal, Russia, South Africa and the U.S. The 29-year-old member of the Oakville Butterflies' team is working with a choreographer on two new routines in preparation for Special Olympics rhythmic gymnastics competitions that will take place in the spring, leading up to the Ontario Games in North York in July.

Pleading with the latest judge, Edmund Newbold, to strike Phelps's bar complaint from the court record of the Count's estate proceedings, MacNamara this past September 27 called Phelps's allegations not only "personal and confidential" but "slanderous and libelous..., prejudicial in nature and void of any merit." In an October 5, 1990, letter to the Florida Bar, MacNamara went much further, denying he had ever actually represented Phelps, and accusing his accuser of looting the Count's estate. "Mr. Phelps made unauthorized distributions to himself of $486,483.43 in cash and additional `in kind' distributions of other assets in the amount of $173,729," MacNamara claimed. "As a result of the unauthorized distributions, the estate is insolvent."
MacNamara hinted that Phelps tricked the Count into naming him personal representative, then used his newfound powers to embezzle substantially all of Szechenyi's assets. "Mr. Phelps held a confidential relationship with the decedent prior to his death, and exerted a strong force and control over the decedent in his declining years and capacity," MacNamara wrote. "The fault in this case lies with the broad powers given the personal representative in the decedent's last will and in the misuse of those powers by Mr. Phelps." MacNamara described himself and his confederates as dutiful functionaries, members of a legal salvage team struggling to learn what happened to the Count's wealth, and perhaps recover some of it.
Shot through with animus, swollen by bombast and bile to near-epic proportions, the squabble over what may or may not be left of Count Szechenyi's fortune now transcends simple greed, and grinds on because of something vaguely resembling honor.
This month a regional grievance committee of the Florida Bar will meet to hear testimony inspired by Phelps's accusations, and determine whether the state Supreme Court will be asked to appoint a judge to review them. Jackson, now president of the Bank of New York Trust Company of Florida, has not been asked to testify at the bar hearing. But an increasingly impatient Judge Newbold has ordered the banker to submit to depositions by Phelps's attorney as part of the continuing probate process.
For Phelps the past three years amount to an opera of corruption over which the ghost of Count Szechenyi seems oftentimes to hover, giggling. "The Count was cremated, so I can't say he's rolling over in his grave," Phelps says. "He's not rolling over in his grave, and his ashes aren't fluttering up and down over the Everglades. But he's here. He loves this sort of thing. He loves a fight. I never did lose a fight with his bankers, and I'm not going to lose the biggest fight of all."
The asphalt T formed by Northwest 34th Avenue and 191st Street is one of the more barren addresses of suburban Dade County. Near the crossroads, stony lots are interspersed with cheerless bungalows. Passersby are rare; the wind sweeps through the scraggly branches of a few stunted trees.
It was on this site in November 1984 that Count Tassilo Szechenyi and Mike Phelps began one of their loonier ventures. Over the objections of Carol City residents, the pair persuaded the Metro Zoning Appeals Board to let them transform an existing dog kennel into an elaborate, air-conditioned pet spa. The resort would feature carpeted suites with brass beds, fancy food, and a $39-per-night fee.
Phelps, a former dog trainer, became president of American Pet Resorts, a corporation he dreamed would one day sprinkle the United States with upscale doggie motels. The Count, a lifelong animal lover, became Phelps's financial backer, even donating his 1962 Rolls Royce for use as a pet limousine. Based almost totally on snob appeal, the scheme proved unprofitable. Even the Count's royal connections couldn't generate enough business. "He ended up investing maybe a quarter-million or so," Phelps recalls. "We ended up losing most of it."
No matter. The project was the temporary passion of both men, just one of many interests they cultivated together. Its pursuit solidified their unlikely friendship, and its monetary failure did nothing to mar their affection for one another. "Over 23 years, it became a father-son relationship," Phelps says of his association with the Count. "This was a guy who spoke seven languages. He was very intellectually inclined, very cultured. His knowledge covered a vast array of subjects. I remember walking in the woods for the first time with him in Maine. `Do you know what kind of tree that is?' he asked. Of course I didn't, and he probably knew I didn't. He was a teacher. He was the type of guy who had suffered much, and he wanted to save you from suffering what he had already been through."
Phelps had been through plenty himself. After growing up in a poor and broken home in Indianapolis, he did a hitch in Vietnam with the air force, worked as a cop for three years, got married and divorced, spent ten years in New York as an executive recruiter, and eventually moved to Miami in search of a warmer climate.
He had met the Count a few years before in New York, and bumped into him again outside the main post office in Miami in 1968. Within months Szechenyi hired Phelps as his executive assistant, a sort of white-collar handyman who filled prescriptions, answered mail, and negotiated business deals on the Count's behalf.

Tribune-Herald sports writer
Justin Gray recorded the best score of the Big Island Interscholastic Federation air riflery season in early September. A week later, the Waiakea senior had qualified for the league championships. Since then, he's stepped back so others could get their shot.
"Basically, he did his job," Warriors coach Mel Kawahara said.
It's been business as usual for the rest of Gray's teammates as well heading into today's individual finals at Konawaena, which start at 10 a.m.
Waiakea boys shooters hold down the top five seeds, led by the the defending league champion. Boosted by the season-high 271 he shot Sept. 7, Gray's average (265.33) is almost nine points better than that of teammate Chris Silva. Silva, a junior, is the most improved Warrior with his marksmanship, and he just outranked Tyler Aburamen, Abraham Sylvester and Brentson Kinoshita. The latter three teamed up with Gray last year as Waiakea won the Hawaii High School Athletic Association championship.
"Chris was somewhat of a surprise for us," Kawahara said. "He's improved by 10-15 points."
Looking to repeat as girls champion, Lindsey Kimura took the same route as Gray. The senior only shot in three of the season's six meets so that Waiakea could work on its depth. As a result, the school qualified 19 of its 23 participants for the finals.
The girls team, also the reigning state champion, began the season looking for two shooters to step up and bolster Kimura and Karise Kuroda. Junior Jamie Ikeda matched Kimura during three meets, Kuroda and Kamehameha's Kealapua Bernabe were just a point behind in average and Maileen Nakashima gives Waiakea a fourth shooter among the top five seeds.
Kuroda is a two-time runner-up at BIIFs and she also took second at states last year.
Kawahara says his teams relish competition, and the girls likely will face it today from Kamehameha's Bernabe and Jessie Coney.
Kamehameha coach George Van Gieson feels as if his program is finally making strides to try and compete with Waiakea's juggernaut. The addition of coaching staff has allowed Van Gieson to focus more on fine-tuning his girls shooters, and Bernabe and Coney have seen their scores improve.
Bernabe is mature enough that her coach lets her run practice.
"Kealapua can win anything, and between her and Jessie it's a toss-up," Van Gieson said. "They're close friends. We put them side-by-side and they push each other."
Also owning state spots are Konawaena's Robert Omija, Kamehameha's Kahekili Donner and Waiakea's Guy Yokoe on the boys side, and Karyl-Lin Yamakawa of Waiakea. Though a lesser-ranked shooter could take the final spot by winning at the championships.

To those who have not yet heard, Hasbro has discontinued the Force FX lightsaber line. Right now they're saying for a year, but we're not going to wait for them. We will continue selling what inventory we have left, however, we're also working on new sabers, something unlike anything else you can find on the market. But if you want to get a Hasbro FX, buy now or when we run out, we probably won't be able to get any more of them.

The Food Drive at Oregon State University has a long tradition of success. Every year during the month of February the University comes together and plans a wide variety of food and fund-raising activities to help the hungry. This effort is in conjunction with the Governor's State Employees Food Drive. The resources gathered by County Extension Offices, Experiment Stations, Cascades Campus and Centers associated with OSU go to their local food banks. Proceeds from the OSU Corvallis campus benefit the non-profit agencies served in Linn-Benton Food Share. These agencies include local food pantries, soup kitchens, emergency shelters, day care centers, shelter homes, and gleaning groups in Linn and Benton counties.
Each year, Oregon State helps to feed the hungry in Linn and Benton counties through a variety of ways. In addition to the annual Food Drive, over 140,000 additional pounds are collected throughout the year from the dining halls, catering, the Crop and Soil Science farm and the Lewis Brown farm. In Klamath Falls, Beavers are partnering with the local Rotary Club to grow 15,000-22,000 pounds of food from a production garden. This produce is going directly to the area food bank and other organizations working to feed the hungry.

Where I stayed
Went walking around town and stumbled across some military/religious ceremony which then paraded with military band and about 50 people on horseback through the streets down to the main square in the old town. I followed them as at 12 noon there is a spectacle of 2 iron goats on top of the town hall coming out to butt heads with each other to the sound of a sole live bugle. I think most people watched the parade tho and not the goats.
Which will make sense when I say that I stayed at the Frolic Goat hostel. It just opened for business the day I rocked on up and asked for a bed in the dormitory. Turns out I
was the first to pay them so hope my 90zl brings them some good luck as
the hostel is fab!

Jowitt has not been named in the Wildcats' Under 19 squad to play on Saturday, suggesting that he may have earned himself a starting shirt for the first time in senior colours.
Should he do so, then he is likely to line-up on the wing, given that Jarrod Sammut in the man in possession of the full-back berth.
Wakefield go into Sunday's clash with Warrington looking to end a run of eight straight defeats against the Wolves but will have to do so without talented centre Dean Collis, who suffered a knee injury in the defeat to Castleford last week and will be out for around six weeks after having surgery.
Richard Owen, who signed for the club last week but did not play against his former Tigers team-mates, is another included in the Wildcats' 19-man squad, along with the return of Max Wilby and also Chris Annakin, who has been with Featherstone under the dual registration system. Loose forward Daniel Smith has been left out.
Wakefield's last win against the Wolves was 40-28 at the Halliwell Jones Stadium on 21 August, 2009 but they will have to break that run of poor form without winger Chris Riley, who is on loan and will not be able to play under a gentleman's agreement between coaches Agar and Tony Smith.
Chris Hill is set make his 250th career appearance, while fellow England forward Ben Westwood came through last week's win unscathed and will line-up against his former club.
Smith has also called up half-back Richie Myler, who is back in after a six-match absence due to a shoulder injury and told Sky Sports.com: "I am feeling pretty good.
"My rehab has gone well and I am really pleased to be back in action.
"The lads had a good win last week against Saints, but we are under no illusions about the task ahead of us at Wakefield.
"They have had an indifferent start to the year but they have got a good pack of forwards, like Richard Moore.
"They have had to chop and change the halves a bit, but Paul Sykes is always a tough player to be up against and we will have to play well to win there."
Wildcats: Mathers, Fairbank, Annakin, Walshaw, Sykes, Godinet, Anderson, McShane, Jowitt, Kirmond, Washbrook, Ryan, Owen, Wildie, Moore, Siejka, Sammut, Scruton, Molloy
Wolves: Asotasi, Atkins, C. Bridge, Currie, Dwyer, England, B. Evans, R. Evans, Harrison, Higham, Hill, Laithwaite, J. Monaghan, M. Monaghan, Myler, Ormsby, Ratchford, Russell, Westwood

- 1/2 cup(s) pecans
- 1/2 pound(s) sliced bacon
- 8 ounce(s) bittersweet chocolate
- 1 stick(s) and 2 tbls(chopped)unsalted butter
- 1 cup(s) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup(s) packed brown sugar
- 3 tablespoon(s) bourbon
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1/4 cup(s) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 cup(s) flour
- Preheat the oven to 350ð. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing 2 inches of overhang on 2 opposite sides. Spray the paper with vegetable spray. Spread the pecans in a pie plate and toast for about 8 minutes, until fragrant. Let cool, then coarsely chop the nuts.
In a skillet, cook the bacon over moderate heat, turning once, until crisp, 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels and let cool; reserve 3 tablespoons of the fat. Finely chop the bacon.
In a saucepan, combine both chocolates with the butter and stir over very low heat, until melted; scrape into a large bowl. Using a handheld electric mixer, beat in both sugars with the reserved 3 tablespoons of bacon fat. Beat in the bourbon. Add the eggs and salt and beat until smooth. Sift the cocoa and flour into the bowl and beat until blended.
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the bacon and pecans on top. Bake for about 50 minutes, until the brownies are set around the edges but slightly wobbly in the center; a toothpick inserted into the center should have some batter clinging to it. Transfer the pan to a rack and let the brownies cool completely. Lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into squares or rectangles and serve. - mix (some)bacon fat with batter*

Are you an undergraduate student interested in law? Do you have a hankering for public speaking? Do you spend your nights hopelessly wishing you were Denny Crane from Boston Legal grilling people in the courtroom? Well read on because you're in luck!
There are several competitions being run this year by Blackstone for any undergraduate student interested in law.
Mock Trials Competition: Round 1, 10th March
This competition is very similar to the Trial Advocacy competition that Blackstone traditionally runs for law students. In teams of two, it is all about questioning witnesses about facts and eliciting answers most favourable to your case.
It is run very similarly to the Mock Trials competition many of you did in High School.
How it works:
The focus of the competition is the examination and cross-examination of witnesses and the presentation of brief opening and closing addresses. Given this fact-finding objective, no knowledge of the substantive law is necessary, and only limited pre-trial preparation is required. The problems are set before the Magistrates Court, the District Court or the Supreme Court and heard by a single presiding judge or magistrate. They are designed to reflect a real trial, and are often based on actual civil and criminal matters. The competition aims to provide students with an insight into the operation of the court system, while developing their skills of persuasive argument.
How to get involved:
Sign-Ups are available now!
Sign Up Form:
To Compete you will need a Blackstone Membership, please get one here:
Negotiation Competition
This is a new competition for Pre-Law students. Teams of two engage in a mediation session between two teams of lawyers, each representing a hypothetical party in an attempt to resolve their dispute. Teams consist of two members each, who shall remain together for the duration of the competition. After preparing, the teams will come together to discuss the various issues and attempt to come to an agreement that best meets their client's instructions.
How to get involved:
Keep checking the facebook page 'UWA Pre-Law students' for when to enter and when rounds will be held.
We will also have plenty of resources on how to do negotiation competitions if this is your first time!
Mooting Competition:
Teams of two will be given a case and argue based on a point or points of law. It is is the oral presentation of a legal issue or problem against an opposing counsel and before a judge. It is perhaps the closest experience that a student can have whilst at university to appearing in court.
This year Blackstone will run two competitions alongside for the Mooting Competition. A first year Moot and a Pre-Law Moot. This will allow students aspiring to the JD to practice Moot at a higher level, and for the first years to be able to compete past the first round.
How to get involved:
Keep checking the facebook page 'UWA Pre-Law students' for when to enter and when rounds will be held.
