Blair backs Indias UNSC bid
PMs Kashmir meeting a step forward: Pervez
Palestinians, Iran seek NAM support
Topmost US honour for Dalai Lama
Maoists agree to 25-point code
Teenager injures 25 with knife
Suu Kyis detention extended
Washington, May 27 A Security Council which has France as a permanent member, but not Germany; Britain, but not Japan; China, but not India to say nothing about of absence of proper representation from Latin America or Africa cannot be legitimate in the modern world, Mr Blair told students of Georgetown University here yesterday. I used to think that this problem was intractable. The competing interests are so strong. But I am now sure that we need reform. If necessary, let us agree to some form of interim change that can be a bridge to a future settlement. But we need to get it done, the British prime Minister said in response to a question. Asked to comment specifically on Mr Blairs call for India to be a part of the permanent membership of the Security Council, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said while discussions were on a number of aspects related to the United Nations, there was no change in the current American policy of pushing only for Japan at the present time. ... there are a number of different plans out there for Security Council reform. This was a hot topic just toward the end of last year. Its still a topic about which we have conversations with India, with Japan, with other countries that are interested in gaining a seat on the Security Council, he said. At this point, the only country for which we have come out in favour of a Security Council seat is Japan. And theres, at this point, no change to that he added. |
PMs Kashmir meeting a step forward: Pervez
Islamabad, May 27 There is a desire and realisation on part of the Indian leadership to resolve the Kashmir issue, he said referring to the recent talks between the Prime Minister and Kashmiri leaders in Srinagar. This is a movement forward, he was quoted as saying by official APP news agency while addressing the 18th award ceremony of the All-Pakistan Newspapers Society here last night. Let us hope for the best that good sense prevails and we come out with a solution which is acceptable to the people of Kashmir, to Pakistan and India, he said. The Pakistan President said the confidence-building measures (CBMs) were moving forward but Pakistan wanted the parties to move towards conflict resolution. Mr Singh, who chaired the Round Table on Kashmir on Thursday, suggested that Kashmiri leaders representing different shades of opinion should focus on five areas, including strengthening security of the people, human rights, working on economic future of the state and firming up institutional arrangement to bring people from both sides of the Line of Control closer to each other.

Palestinians, Iran seek NAM support
Putrajaya, May 27 Concerns over tensions in the Middle East took centrestage as senior officials of NAM members in Asia, Africa and Latin America began preparations for a ministerial meeting on Monday and Tuesday in Putrajaya, Malaysias administrative capital. In a world dominated by one superpower, the existence of the Non-Aligned Movement is vitally important in our efforts to further promote and strengthen multilateralism, while keeping in check unilateralism which is encroaching more and more on the international scene, Malaysian Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar said in a speech to the delegates. Developing countries are often sidelined in key international decisions, he said, adding that the United Nations needed to be reformed so that we all have a stake as members ... rather than empowering an already powerful Security Council. The 114-member Non-Aligned Movement comprises countries that tried to act as a buffer between East and West during the Cold War. AP |
Topmost US honour for Dalai Lama
Washington, May 27 The Senate passed the resolution prior to adjourning for a week-long recess. A similar legislation has been enacted by the House of Representatives. The Senate legislation introduced by Senator Diane Feinstein of California had the backing of 75 Democrats and Republicans as co-sponsors. The Dalai Lama has struggled for half a century to better the lives of the Tibetan people armed only with his compassion, courage and conviction. In doing so, he has been a shining light to all those fighting for freedom around the world, Senator Feinstein remarked as the Senate Banking Committee recently approved the Gold Medal Act. I cannot say how much it means to me that three quarters of the Senate have put the daily battles aside to come together to say that this man deserves our nations highest civilian honour the Congressional Gold Medal, he added. Past recipients of the Gold Medal include Pope John Paul II, Mother Teresa and Nobel Peace Laureates Elie Wiesel and Nelson Mandela. PTI |
Maoists agree to 25-point code
Kathmandu, May 27 The govt and Maoists yesterday also pledged to continue the peace talks during their six-hour meeting, the first direct discussions between the two sides since the G.P. Koirala government came to power last month after a 19-day agitation by the seven-party alliance.
Teenager injures 25 with knife
Berlin, May 27 The 17-year-old suspected attacker, a German native of Berlin's working-class Neukoelln district, was arrested, police spokesman Bernhard Schodrowski told The Associated Press. None of the victims had life-threatening injuries, Mr Schodrowski said. The teenager, whose identity was not released, had mingled with crowds a couple of hours after a sound-and-light show inaugurating Berlin's new central rail station in the heart of the capital before he began to randomly attack people, Mr Schodrowski said. The attack comes amid a rash of racially motivated crimes, including several in Berlin, that have raised concern about security two weeks before Germany hosts the football World Cup. The motive for the attack was not immediately known, Mr Schodrowski said, although the suspect was known to the police for previous acts of violence. It was not clear if the attacker was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the incident, Mr Schodrowski said. AP |
Suu Kyis detention extended
Yangon (Myanmar), May 27 UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and other supporters of Suu Kyi had been hopeful she would be released when the order for her detention expired today. But a government official said the detention had been extended, though it wasn't immediately clear for how long. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorised to discuss the case with the media. Police armed with batons were deployed near Suu Kyi's lakeside residence on University Avenue in Yangon early today.

The directions came from the then additional deputy CAG (ADAI), northern region, just three weeks before the deadline of June 30, 2013, for submitting the draft paragraphs/thematic paragraphs, sources said.
"ADAI (NR) has desired that instead of thematic audit on issue of licences for development of colonies etc, thematic audit on procurement and utilisation of pipes and implementation of social welfare schemes may be taken up for the current year audit report," according to a communication sent by senior administrative officer (NR) Narinder Singh in the office of CAG to principal accountant general (audit), Haryana.
The audit team, which had been working on audit of land licences for three months to meet the June 30 deadline, was in final stages of inspection of relevant record and files when the change in the subject of thematic audit was communicated, according to sources. The time schedule for submitting the "draft paragraphs" to government agencies was also extended to July 31 while changing the audit themes. Hindustan Times on August 21 broke the story on the decision to stop the audit midway after the state authorities sought deferment on one ground or the other.
The audit was halted even as the state government has been under fire over its land licence raj. It has granted licences for development of 21,000-acre land during the past eight years.
While principal accountant general (audit) and his officers had in their letters to the town and country planning department from March 2013 repeatedly stated that the audit of land licences was being conducted "as per directions of the CAG", the decision to drop the theme has raised eyebrows.
When contacted, the then ADAI (NR) refused to discuss the issue. HT also sent detailed questions to official spokesperson of the CAG regarding stopping the exercise at such a late stage, but no response was received till the time of filing this report.
CAG officials had on Monday stated that principal accountant general, Haryana, had suggested five subjects for thematic paras for the audit report 2012-13 and since all topics were loaded towards land/building-related issues, it was decided not to include the topic of licences for development of colonies. As the audit report is expected to take up a variety of subjects, it was decided to include two topics, they said.

Las Vegas sports books just endured one of the roughest weekends ever in state history. Official record aren't kept by the Nevada Gaming Control Board on daily numbers like they do for the Super Bowl, but from talking with several directors around town and having a personal understanding of what was one of the worst days ever in Las Vegas was, I feel comfortable in estimating that Nevada sports books lost anywhere from $7-to-9 million over the weekend, and that could be a low estimate.
No sports book director gave me any indication or hint of their actual numbers, nor did I ask, because it isn't appropriate to put any of them in position to discuss their company funds. But after seeing the results of the weekend, which became an on-going parlay heaven for bettors and hearing the tone deflection in the directors voices after talking with them on a weekly basis, this was no ordinary weekend, but one that had been brewing for sometime.
"This was the perfect storm that has been brewing for the entire season," said South Point sports book director Bert Osborne. "It's a disaster."
A perfect storm indeed, where negative energy meets positive energy and explodes. The negative energy -- for the bettors -- has been the underdogs hitting at 61 percent over the season in the NFL, which has caused most public bettors -- who love betting the favorites -- to have a terrible season.
The positive energy is when the favorites finally start hitting. Over the weekend, beginning with Thursday night's Chargers cover, the key favorites rolled into monster parlay payouts where six, seven, and eight teamers were cashing like never seen before. Even 10-team parlays were being cashed out at 800-to-1, odds that a book can never recoup.
"I've been here (LVH Super Book) eight-and-a-half years and this is the worst day I've had," said LVH Super Book vice-president Jay Kornegay.
"This could rival won of the worst Sunday's we've ever had since I've been running a book," said Osborne, a 25-year veteran of running books for Michael Gaughan's properties.
Saturday started out decent for the books, but at the end of the day, college favorites went 32-19-1 against-the-spread. The big bang was the prime time games with LSU, Oregon, and Kansas State covering. The OVER in the Oregon and Kansas State games were almost as popular as the sides, and of course, the majority of the betting public had them all locked together in a parlay. Four-teamers pay 11-to-1, five-teamers pay 20-to-1, and they were popping.
It got even worse when the late Saturday results were posted with UCLA and Oregon State covering. Saturday was a big loser for the books, but the effects of the day wouldn't be finished because the lingering live games were all going to public favorites on Sunday putting the books in a hole before the day even started.
This is when the big tidal wave starts to take it's shape and puts the sports book in a position to have to beat down at least half of their big wagered upon games. On Sunday, they didn't win any of those games.
"If you don't win the morning games, you can't recover," said Kornegay. "You're looking at a red number that the afternoon or evening games can't erase.
"We lost seven of the eight early games, the only game we won on was the Panthers beating the Redskins. It was pretty much Murphy's law all day."
The big game that got it all started was the Broncos covering four points at Cincinnati, and then one after another, every game fell the bettors way.
"We had some leftovers from a rough Saturday that spilled over and then our worst case scenario happened in the early games with Denver, Baltimore, and the Lions covering," said Osborne. "Those three teams were wound together pretty tight on a lot of parlays, and then everything else followed suit with the afternoon games where Seattle was extremely bad, but the Bucs were even worse because it was the last game posted (before the Atlanta game) and everything tied in from the day that was still alive, paid out."
When the last game is posted, the main screen doesn't even show the parlay card results which was an entirely different wave of destruction, and perhaps maybe the most destructive.
On the day, the favorites went 8-4 against-the-spread, but even the underdogs that covered were either mixed with public support like the Panthers (+3) and Steelers (+3), or completely one sided, like the Colts (2.5) and the Buccaneers (+1).
"We're not a big parlay card house, so I guess I feel fortunate that we don't have that type of liability," Kornegay said.
The big parlay card houses in town are the local properties, off the strip, who kind of live and die by the sword on a weekly basis. This season, they have been living quite extravagantly thanks to the underdogs, but on Sunday, they gave back a huge chunk of it.
The big blow came when the Falcons kicked a field goal with seconds left to take a six-point lead and cover the four-point spread.
"What was weird was that every game that had the possibility of having a back door cover at the end that might have helped us on a few games, didn't happen," Osborne said.
When the books can't even get a back door cover for help, the kind that kills the small players' six-team parlay on a weekly basis, you know the perfect storm has hit.

NKorea's parliament likely to focus on economy
SEOUL, South Korea - SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - North Korea's rubber-stamp parliament convenes an annual session Friday expected to show solidarity and perhaps indications of the impoverished and reclusive nation's future leadership and economy.
The Supreme People's Assembly meets one day a year in Pyongyang to approve bills vetted by the ruling Workers' Party. The rare sessions are closely watched for clues to changes in the regime's power structure.
Last year's gathering marked leader Kim Jong Il's triumphant return to the public eye after months out of sight amid rumors he had suffered a stroke in 2008. He looked markedly gaunt, but his presence confirmed he was in charge of the communist nation of 24 million.
Friday's session takes place amid speculation that Kim will promote officials to help solidify his plan to hand over power to his youngest son, Kim Jong Un.
Analysts also said the session is likely to focus on the economy after a series of measures aimed at clamping down on the private markets that have flourished in recent years.
Last year, the North redenominated its currency as part of efforts to lower inflation and reassert control over the nascent market economy. But it reportedly worsened the country's food situation as markets closed and many North Koreans were angered and left with piles of worthless bills.
On Thursday, North Korea's elite - senior officials from the Workers' Party, the military and the government - gathered in Pyongyang to celebrate Kim Jong Il's 17 years of leadership, the official Korean Central News Agency said.
The ailing 68-year-old leader appears to be undergoing kidney dialysis every two weeks, Nam Sung-wook, head of the security think tank affiliated with South Korea's top spy agency, said last month. Kim also is believed to have chronic heart disease and diabetes.
Kim, who inherited power in 1994 upon the death of his father, North Korea founder Kim Il Sung, has not publicly named a successor but is said to favor his Swiss-educated third son, believed to be in his mid-20s.
Kim Jong Il could promote Jong Un and his aides to strengthen the succession plan, said Cheong Seong-chang, a senior analyst at the private Sejong Institute think tank outside Seoul. The son became head of the North's top intelligence agency, the Ministry of State Security, last year, he said, citing a source he declined to identify.
Kim Jong Un is believed to hold a position on North Korea's powerful National Defense Commission headed by his father, a strong sign he is being groomed to lead the country.
Cheong also said the North could partly reshuffle its Cabinet to give more power to the ministries of the agriculture and light industry.
North Korea is struggling to develop its agriculture and light industries, and to produce higher-quality consumer goods as outlined in its New Year message. However, the country remains plagued by chronic food shortages and other economic difficulties.
Koh Yu-hwan, a professor at Seoul's Dongguk University, said lawmakers could review the state spending and budget Friday, and announce new laws to try to draw foreign capital as part of its efforts to revitalize the economy.
On Thursday, North Korea used the celebration of Kim's leadership to warn the United States of "merciless strikes" if Washington refuses to drop a policy of hostility toward the regime.
North Korea cites the U.S. hostility toward Pyongyang as a key reason behind its drive to build nuclear bombs. The two Koreas remain locked in a state of war because their three-year conflict ended in a truce, not a peace treaty, in 1953.

Courken George Deukmejian, Jr. (/djuːkˈmeɪdʒən/;[2] born June 6, 1928) is an American politician who as a Republican served as the 35th Governor of California (1983–1991) and as California Attorney General (1979–1983).
Deukmejian is the first and, so far, the only governor of a US state of Armenian descent.
Early years[edit]
Deukmejian was born Courken George Deukmejian, Jr. in Menands, New York to Armenian American parents. His parents were Armenians who emigrated from the Ottoman Empire in the early 1900s to escape the Armenian Genocide.[3] His father, who lost his sister during the Genocide, was a rug merchant and born in Gaziantep. Deukmejian's mother was born in Erzurum and worked for Montgomery Ward and later for New York State. Deukmejian graduated a B.A. in Sociology from Siena College in 1949. He then earned a Juris Doctor (J.D.) from St. John's University in 1952. From 1953 to 1955, he served in the U.S. Army, assigned to the Judge Advocate General's Corps.
Deukmejian moved to California in 1955 where his sister, Anna Ashjian, introduced him to his future wife Gloria Saatjian, whose parents were also immigrants from Armenia. They married in 1957 and have three children: two daughters, born in 1964 and 1969 and one son, born in 1966.
Political beginnings[edit]
Deukmejian entered politics in California after a short period of private practice in Long Beach alongside Malcolm M. Lucas. He was elected to represent Long Beach in the State Assembly in 1962. In 1966, he became a state senator. By 1969, he was the majority leader in the State Senate. He first ran for Attorney General of California in 1970, finishing fourth in the Republican primary. He won the election for Attorney General in 1978 and served from 1979 to 1983. During this time, he led a high-profile campaign against marijuana in northern California, at one point descending by helicopter along with flak-jacketed, gun-toting agents on a marijuana farm.[4]
Deukmejian was elected in 1982 to his first term as Governor of California, defeating Lieutenant Governor Michael Curb, a recording company owner, in the Republican primary (1,165,266 or 51.1 percent to 1,020,935 or 44.8 percent). One of his early primary backers was former gubernatorial candidate Joe Shell of Bakersfield, California, a conservative who had opposed Richard M. Nixon in the 1962 primary.
In the general election, Deukmejian ran as a conservative supporter of public safety and balanced budgets. In addition, he was strongly critical of outgoing Governor Jerry Brown and promised to run a very different administration. He also strongly criticized the state Supreme Court, which was dominated by Brown appointees, notably controversial Chief Justice Rose Bird.
Deukmejian narrowly defeated Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley in the general election. Deukmejian won the election by about 100,000 votes, about 1.2 percent of the 7.5 million votes cast. The victory came despite opinion polls leading up to the election which consistently showed Bradley with a lead, and despite exit polling conducted after voting closed which led some news organizations on the night of the election to make early projections of a Bradley victory. The discrepancy between the polling numbers and the election's ultimate results would come to be termed the "Bradley effect", which refers to a hypothesized tendency of white voters to tell interviewers or pollsters that they are undecided or likely to vote for a black candidate, but then actually vote for his opponent.
Deukmejian's governorship was a departure from his predecessor, Jerry Brown. He vowed not to raise taxes, appealing to the business community by repealing some consumer and environmental requirements. He presented himself as law and order candidate proposing new efforts to fight crime. He faced a Democrat-dominated California State Legislature during his two terms as governor. He was the sole Republican statewide officeholder until Thomas W. Hayes was appointed California State Treasurer, following the death of Treasurer Jesse Unruh.
In 1983, Deukmejian abolished the Caltrans Office of Bicycle Facilities and reduced state spending for bicycle projects from 5 million to the statutory minimum of 360,000 per year.[5] In 1984, he vetoed A.B. 1, the first bill to ban discrimination against gays and lesbians, which passed the Legislature. There were rallies and protests statewide.
During his first term, Deukmejian won the voters' approval. In 1986, Bradley sought a rematch and Deukmejian defeated him by a 61% to 37% percent margin, a record not broken until 1998. Deukmejian served as Governor from 1983 to 1991. He is generally regarded as a moderate-to-conservative Republican.
The Deukmejian administration entered office during a national economic recession. California had a $1.5 billion budget deficit with an unemployment rate of 11.2%. He first halted the hiring of new state employees and banned out of state travel for those in government. He rejected the legislature's demands for tax hikes, and pared $1.1 billion from its budget by selectively vetoing spending items. One year later, further cuts, along with an nationwide economic rebound that benefited the state, created a billion dollar surplus for 1985. At one point his approval ratings had reached 76%. His 1985 budget increased spending in education, highway construction and environmental projects. However, health and welfare program spending was criticized.[6][7]
Three years later, Deukmejian faced his own billion dollar deficit.[citation needed] He supported a raise in the state minimum wage in 1989.[citation needed] During Deukmejian's administration, the general fund budget grew by 98% without any increase in general tax rates. (California State general fund budget: 1982–1983 $21.7 billion; 1990–1991 $42.9 billion.)
Deukmejian largely made his career by being tough on crime.[citation needed] When he was in the legislature, he wrote California's capital punishment law. As a candidate for reelection, in 1986 he opposed the retention election of three Brown-appointed justices of the California Supreme Court due to their consistent opposition to the death penalty in any and all circumstances. One of them (the best known) was Rose Bird, the first female Chief Justice of the Court (and the first one to be voted off). Deukmejian proceeded to elevate his friend and law partner, Malcolm M. Lucas, from Associate Justice to Chief Justice, and appointed three new associate justices. Under Deukmejian, the California prison population nearly tripled – as of December 31, 1982, the total prison population stood at 34,640 inmates. By the end of 1991 the population had reached 97,309.[citation needed] He increased spending for the building of new prisons.[citation needed]
In 1988, then-Vice President George H. W. Bush considered Governor Deukmejian as a possible running mate for the presidential election that year. During a trade mission to South Korea in August, Deukmejian sent a letter saying he could not be considered for nomination, refusing to leave the governorship to Democratic Lieutenant Governor Leo T. McCarthy.[8] Deukmejian did not seek reelection to a third term as governor in the 1990 gubernatorial elections, and was succeeded by fellow Republican then-United States Senator Pete Wilson on January 7, 1991.
In 1991, in his last two hours in office, he vetoed the property tax exemption bill passed by both houses of the Legislature which applied to companies building solar thermal power plants in California. Although the Legislature enacted the exemption in early 1991, companies would still face significant levels of property tax and other taxes. This exemption was focused towards the Solar Energy Generating Systems (SEGS) plants then being built by Luz International Limited (Luz) in the late 1980s.[9] The veto led directly to the bankruptcy of Luz, and a resulting pause of over a decade in worldwide deployment of solar thermal power.
Deukmejian was a partner in Sidley & Austin, a national and international law firm, from 1991 to 2000 when he retired. He reentered public life by serving on special committees, including one to reform the California penal system, and a charter-reform committee in his hometown of Long Beach. He oversaw a revamping of the UCLA Willed Body Program after a scandal involving the sale of human body parts donated for science.
Deukmejian received an honorary doctor of laws degree from California State University, Long Beach in 2008 because of his support for education, state law, and Long Beach.[10]

More than I could have expected. With Sears largest lithium Ion battery you will be amazed what and how long you can cut. I just wanted this for small branches so I wouldn't have to get out the big gas saw. But it is that and much more. Like when I'm way to far up on a ladder getting that stray branch, and don't want a heavy saw. I just wish that Sears would have offered this saw without the battery and charger like they do now. I have been using Craftsman 19.2 tools for at least a dozen years and have quite a collection of tools and batteries.

Not gonna bring down whole trees with this but it definitely help for trimming the trees and decent sized branches. Light as well so its pretty maneuverable while up in a tree. Was actually quite surprised on how much one battery was able to cut.

Love the convenience and lightness of this unit. Great for cutting up small logs for the outside fireplace. Easy to use, compact and so far powerful enough to do the jobs I need it for around the house.

I bought this chain saw after I purchased the C 3 four piece power tool kit. I was hooked! I am a 52 year old woman who lives on a small farm, I am tired of mixing gas and hauling out the power cords. This is just enough to trim sucker roots and medium size limbs. I was surprised at the power and how long it stayed charged. It was just enough to get the job done with little effort!

I chose this chainsaw for doing light to medium cutting. It definitely is not good for heavy use, but it does work well considering it is battery powered. The kit comes with 1 battery, but you will need at least 2 or 3 on hand if you plan on doing some continuous cutting for awhile. As others have said, it's recommended you remove the oil used for the chain or else it will leak while in storage.

I picked this chain saw up to go with the rest of my C3 Craftsman tools for some light duty trim work. I would not recommend using it for cutting logs or anything bigger than 6 inches in diameter, but for smaller things it works great. Just make sure to keep the chain oiled and then drain the oil after use as others have mention to avoid leakage. Definitely need more than 1 battery charged up when using it to make sure you have enough to do the job.

This is a good item. It is not going to do the same kind of a job that a regular chainsaw will but it is good for smaller projects. I just wish the oil button worked better. Still is good for what it is.

What a great small saw and light weight as well. Nicely balanced. It cuts slower than expected.
Gilbert, AZ

I wasn't sure if this would do the job for me but it came through with flying colors. The only problem is it leaks oil when you go to store it. I drained the oil, easy.

Friday, October 19th | In-store | 2-3pm Zachys is proud to welcome Marco Bacci at a special Friday afternoon tasting, where he will be pouring his critically acclaimed wines. "Class, finesse …everything in balance", raves wine critic James Suckling about Bacci's wines. Now we will all get to see for ourselves!
Marco Bacci was the first in his family to fully embrace winemaking. In 1978 he began helping his father with the family business: clothing and fashion. Over the course of just a few years, their company became one of the most successful and important businesses in the fashion industry of Italy. In 1983 he had purchased a vineyard as a real estate investment. This vineyard was known as Castello di Bossi, and in 1985 Marco was "bitten by the wine bug" and created the first bottle of Corbaia. The wine remained a side project until 1995, when he immersed himself fully into viticulture.
Over the course of the next few years, he would also purchase estates in Montalcino and Morellino di Scansano out of a desire to own the "three best appellations of Tuscany", and subsequently replace all vines. Zachys is more than happy to showcase wines from each of the three: Tenuta Renieri, Renieri, and Terre di Talamo.
His wines are crafted with the utmost care, using low yields ("One vine per bottle", according to Marco) and superior winemaking techniques to craft wines reflective of their respective terroir. All wineries are practicing organic, and Marco is a strong proponent of green energy, nature conservation, and environmentalism. All of his wines are perennial favorites amongst consumers and reviewers alike, and are highly affordable given their massive level of quality. We are thrilled to have Marco pour his favorite wines in addition the selections listed below, and we look forward to seeing you at this special Friday tasting!

A primary school teacher has been arrested and charged with indecently assaulting pupils at the Auckland school where he worked.
It is understood that police from the child protection unit conducted video interviews with pupils aged between 5 and 10.
In at least three interviews, the children's statements about the circumstances around the alleged offending were almost identical.
When is the Teachers' Council going to stop acting like a union protecting its own at any costs and start looking after our children?
The Herald usefully summarises:
- In August, Kaitaia man James Parker, 37, pleaded guilty to 49 charges of sexually abusing boys at Pamapuria School
- In July, Papatoetoe High School teacher Damian Christopher Gillard, 43, was suspended after police charged him with a raft of sex and drug-related offending in connection with seven young women.
- In September, teacher aide Kevin Dean McMillian, 19, was to serve an 18-month intensive supervision order and 200 hours of community work for offending that included exchanging more than 400 text messages, many of a sexual nature, with a 13-year-old girl.

The Volts have won their last six games on the trot and made no contest of their clash with the struggling Central.
Otago's impressive top order delivered with Black Caps' all-rounder Nathan McCullum (50) and Dutch international Ryan ten Doeschate whacking half centuries to help the Volts post an imposing 194 for four.
The visitors could manage only 101 in reply and are anchored at the foot of the competition table with four points from seven games. Otago are on top with 24 points and, with three round-robin games remaining, the side have given themselves an excellent chance of hosting the final.
Ten Doeschate has been a revelation for Otago this summer. Two seasons ago he was outstanding for Canterbury and has been even more consistent this season with scores of 65, 60no, 47, 61, 26 and 59no today.
He brought up his 50 with a massive six on to the roof of the grandstand and has now scored 318 runs in six games at an average of a shade under 80.
Everyone got in the wickets for Otago, but left arm spinner Nick Beard was the pick with two for 10 from three overs, and McCullum took two for 21 from four overs.
Central had some bad luck with batsman William Young forced to pull out through injury. That left the visitors forced to play Adam Milne, who did not bowl because of an ankle injury.

Interstellar Marines: Running Man Is Now Available To Play
By William Usher 5 years ago comments
Zero Point Interactive's highly awaited first-person shooter, Interstellar Marines, is on the receiving end of a brand new playable scenario called "Running Man". The exercise sees players taking on wave after wave of increasingly difficult cyborg training machines.
Unlike the other playable segments for Interstellar Marines the Running Man (which has nothing to do with the early 90s flick based on the Stephen King book with the Governator) lets players run freely around and experience a lot of the freedom the game has to offer. In the press release, Kim Haar Jørgensen, Game Director, Zero Point Software commented saying... players will experience complete freedom of movement and they will need to move fast to survive the waves of charging Training Robots. At the same time Running Man sets a series of events in motion, which eventually will lead to the revelation of the back story of the Interstellar Marines trilogyI must say, the one game on PC Im definitely looking forward to more than any other title at present is probably Interstellar Marines. The game has such a grand concept and an artistically distinctive scope to its presentation that it literally makes you want to see and experience more. You can check out a brief Running Man teaser below or visit the Official Interstellar Marines Website to get in some play time with the new game mode. Back to top

The fatty acid profile of buccal cheek cell phospholipids is a noninvasive marker of long-chain polyunsaturated Fatty Acid status in piglets. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 12163682 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
The fatty acid pattern of cheek cell phospholipids has been proposed as a noninvasive marker of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) status. However, the cheek cell phospholipid fatty acid pattern has been compared only with that of plasma and erythrocytes. The objective of this study was to assess the extent to which the fatty acid profile of cheek cell phospholipids reflects that of tissue phospholipids. Piglets (n = 31; 6 d old) were fed five formula diets differing in total fat and fatty acid composition. After 14 d of consuming the assigned diets, cheek cell plasma, erythrocyte, liver, muscle, adipose tissue, retina and brain samples were collected for determination of the phospholipid fatty acid patterns. There were significant correlations between the cheek cell phospholipid content of most PUFA and the content of these fatty acids in tissue phospholipids (r = 0.509-0.951, P < 0.01). The cheek cell phospholipid content of most of the PUFA, except 20:4(n-6), reflected that of other tissue phospholipids as well as, or nearly as well as the contents of plasma and/or erythrocyte phospholipids. The correlations between the 22:6(n-3) contents of cheek cell, plasma, or erythrocyte phospholipids and those of brain and retina phospholipids were relatively poor (r = 0.596-0.737, P < 0.001). We conclude that the fatty acid pattern of cheek cell phospholipid can be used as a noninvasive marker of PUFA status, but it is not a better index than the pattern of plasma or erythrocyte phospholipids, particularly for assessing the fatty acid pattern of organs with slow fatty acid incorporation and/or turnover rates. |

I love gadgets.
I've bought every sort of smartphone right from the Treo through Windows smartphones to my shiny new iPhone 4.
And I love tools too. I must have bought every available to-do manager on the market.
So with all these productivity tech and tool purchases you'd have thought I'd become more productive, right?
Well, in the sense that I can now fill my downtime with activities, yes.
If I'm on the train or in a cab I can read my email. Using my online CRM I can browse my client and prospect details anytime, anyplace, anywhere. If I'm in the middle of nowhere I can still keep in touch with my Twitter buddies.
But the truth is that none of these activities are particularly vital for my business. They're not unimportant. But they're not crucial.
In essence, the tools have made me more productive at the mundane. They've allowed me to do "admin" when I wouldn't previously have been doing anything.
Or would I?
If I think back at what I really used to do when I was sitting on a train, or in a cab it turns out I wasn't doing nothing.
If I was on a train then usually I'd be reading. Learning useful stuff. Or thinking about a client or project – maybe planning or taking notes.
And actually, this is important stuff. Actually taking the time to think about my work and my clients or to improve my knowledge and skills.
Way more important than answering emails, tweeting or doing admin.
The fact that I'm "always online" with my iPhone has meant that I now spend more time reacting to events (email, tweets, even phone calls) than I do proactively thinking and planning. My ability to get access to this constant electronic stimulation has squeezed out the quiet time where I used to actually do some of my best thinking.
And it gets worse.
Being constantly online has conditioned me now to check my email when I'm a bit bored to see if something interesting has come in.
And usually it has.
Not something important. Probably nowhere near as important as the document or the plan or the idea I was supposed to be working on when I got a bit "stuck". But interesting.
And if there's nothing interesting on email I'm sure there will be on Twitter. Or I could always check my website stats for the 20th time today.
Lord help me, I've even just checked email right now while I was in the middle of writing this blog post.
And who knows how bad I'd be if I had a Blackberry with that awful red light that tells you when you get a new email. I'm not sure I'd ever be able to resist checking what had come in.
In truth, we've got more productive at the things that aren't really important – and less productive at the thoughtful hard work that really is.
We're obsessed by "real time". I had to laugh recently when otherwise-sensible social media guru David Meerman-Scott lauded the new development in Tweetdeck that meant you got instant updates rather than every 30 seconds. 'Cos being 29 seconds behind the times is going to kill 'ya…
Now here's the thing: I'm not saying all these productivity tools and technology are a bad thing. Even if they were, it's too late – the genie's out of the bottle.
But what we need to do – me especially – is learn to become their master, not their slave.
To use them when it actually is productive – not to oust otherwise productive activities because checking email is intellectually easier and more stimulating.
So next time you find yourself checking email more than a couple of times a day – or whipping out your Blackberry in a cab to check Twitter. Think to yourself whether this really is the best use of your time.
So how about you? Have you managed to tame your tools and use them really productively?

Inside a FEMA Disaster Help Center
It's been more than 60 days since tornadoes tore through the Midwest November, 17, 2014. More than 2,600 people have already registered for individual FEMA recovery assistance statewide.
But there are at least 200 people in Tazewell County who have not yet registered, and it's presumed there are at least as many in the state's other 14 impacted counties.
The one FEMA Recovery Center remaining open in Illinois is located in Tazewell County. Peoria Public Radio's Tanya Koonce tours the center with FEMA spokeswoman Deanna Frazier to walk through what's involved:

The office is in the Festival of Lights building on West Washington Street. It closes at 6:00p.m. Saturday, January 25, 2014. FEMA registration remains open at FEMA.gov until Monday night, January 27, 2014.

Former News of the World editor Rebekah Brooks arrives at Central Criminal Court in London, Tuesday, Oct. 29, 2013.
LONDON — Former News of the World editor Rebekah Brooks moved from the defendants' dock to the witness stand Thursday, arguing her innocence of phone-hacking charges in public for the first time.
Almost four months into a court case that has put Britain's tabloids on trial, Brooks began her defense, claiming that while editor she had never even heard of the private investigator who has admitted prolifically hacking phones on behalf of her underlings.
Brooks, the former chief executive of Murdoch's British newspaper unit, spoke in a quiet and occasionally hesitant voice and gestured frequently with long-fingered hands as she began what is expected to be weeks of testimony.
She said that, as editor of a Sunday tabloid with a staff of 170, she had not known that phone hacking was taking place.
"It's impossible for an editor to know every source of every story," Brooks said.
She said the News of the World's investigations unit, depicted by prosecutors as a hotbed of illegal activity, used subterfuge and "investigative tools ... but always with a very good public interest."
As for Glenn Mulcaire, the private eye who has pleaded guilty to eavesdropping on voicemails, "I never heard his name."
At the start of Thursday's session Brooks was acquitted of one of five charges she had faced — a claim she illegally paid an official for a photograph of Prince William in a bikini.
Judge John Saunders ruled that there was "no case for Mrs. Brooks to answer" because uncertainty had arisen about the source of the photo.
Brooks, 45, still faces one similar charge of conspiring to commit misconduct in a public office, as well as charges of conspiring to hack phones and obstruct police.
She and six others are on trial on charges stemming from the revelation that News of the World staff eavesdropped on voicemails of celebrities, politicians and even crime victims in what prosecutors have called a "frenzy" to get scoops.
All seven defendants deny the charges.
Brooks' testimony recounted her rapid rise in the rough-and-tumble world of tabloid journalism. Hired as a researcher at the News of the World in 1989, she became the Sunday paper's deputy editor six years later, when she was 27. She served as editor from 2000 to 2003.
Brooks suggested that her youth, gender and inexperience had heightened the rivalry among newspapers in Britain's fiercely competitive and macho Fleet Street.
"It was a tough world," she said, in which papers would go to extreme lengths to secure scoops.
She recalled spending up to $250,000 in 1995 to get an interview with Divine Brown, the prostitute arrested with actor Hugh Grant, and taking her to a desert hideout to keep rivals from finding her.
"It all seems so silly now," Brooks said.
The hacking scandal led Murdoch to shut the 168-year-old News of the World, sparked wide-ranging police investigations and exposed a web of ties binding police and politicians to Murdoch's media empire.
