When the story of Jomo Kenyatta's ascend to the presidency is told, little is said of the family of former Senior Chief Njiiri wa Karanja.
However, the paramount chief and his sons, staunch defenders of the colonial government, contributed significantly to Kenyatta becoming Head of State.
Born in 1866, Karanja was a wealthy landowner by the time white settlers arrived and protected his interests by working for the colony when it was formed in 1920. Such was his political stature, that when Queen Elizabeth travelled to Kenya in 1957, five years after Karanja had retired, she visited him at his home in Fort Hall (now Murang'a). His political support was critical in ensuring colonial officials warmed up to Kenyatta.
The close relationship between Karanja and Kenyatta, which began long before Independence, has been cited as one of the reasons his son Kariuki Njiiri vacated his Legislative Council (Legco) seat for the former president in 1961 after he was released from detention. Had Kariuki not given up the seat, the Kenyatta story would have been confined to the footnotes of history.
Karanja's son, Mr Mbiyu Njiiri, 81, said Kenyatta visited the chief often in the 1940s.
"When Kenyatta was teaching (at the Kenya Teachers College) in Githunguri, he was in contact with my father and visited him regularly," said Mbiyu. "They remained close friends even during his imprisonment at Kapenguria and after becoming the President," he added.
Ironically, Karanja is best remembered as the former paramount chief who smashed his 'lying' radio "when it announced Kenyatta was free". The anecdote is used to mock loyalist Kikuyu reactions to the 1961 release of a man they had denounced as part of the Mau Mau.
However, his family says the 1956 incident is taken out of context: His anger was triggered by a propaganda broadcast claiming his friend Kenyatta, who was in detention, was "back in the country". (The same radio station had a year earlier broadcast that Kenyatta had left Kikuyu-land and would never return again).
When Kenyatta emerged from seven years in detention and became president of newly formed Kanu party, he needed to be in the Legco to participate in constitutional talks being held in London in 1962. The Legco was the heart of African efforts to force changes at the Lancaster House Conferences in the lead up to self-government and later Independence in 1963.
Following the proclamation of a State of Emergency in 1952 by Sir Evelyn Baring, Governor of colonial Kenya, Kenyatta and five others had been held captive in Kapenguria. The six were charged with managing Mau Mau, a radical movement trying to push the British administration out of Kenya. Stuck in detention, Kenyatta missed elections in 1961.
But Kanu and Kadu, the parties formed after the first Lancaster House meetings, pledged to secure his release and ensure he assumed a position of leadership. In August that year the former president was freed, but remained outside the vital team negotiating the terms for full Independence.
On December 21, 1961 at a Kanu annual conference, it was announced that Kenyatta would stand for a constituency seat in Fort Hall, which Kariuki Njiiri represented. Kariuki vacated the Kigumo seat six days later. Oddly, no other Kanu member in the Legco – or in Kenyatta's Kiambu backyard – was willing to make such a sacrifice. Not even his brother in-law Koinange.
In his book The Illusion of Power, veteran politician GG Kariuki writes: "( Kenyatta ally Tom) Mboya (who held a seat in Nairobi and had offered to do so) was reluctant to keep his promise because he knew that stepping down from his parliamentary position… would have meant cutting short his own political career. His political enemies would not have received his resignation… as a gesture of good faith but, rather as a final defeat."
In the by-election on January 1962, Kenyatta was elected for the Legco seat without contest, setting off his meteoric rise. From June 1963 to December 1964, Kenyatta was the first Prime Minister (Head of Government) as Queen Elizabeth remained the Head of State. In December 1964 he became the first President of independent Kenya.
Njiiri said Kenyatta and his father were so close that even after he was released from detention, he travelled to Kinyona village in Murang'a to see the collaborator chief. For this, celebrated author Ngugi wa Thiong'o would later describe Kenyatta thus: "A black Moses who had been called by history... but failed to rise to the occasion and ended up surrounding himself with colonial chiefs, home guards and traitors."
As Senior Chief, Njiiri was infamous for hostility towards anti-colonialists during his tenure from 1901 to 1952. Those who remember him vividly say he was a ruthless man who never hesitated to destroy those opposed to the unpopular British regime.
"During the State of Emergency (when he was a retired paramount chief) he assisted the British in cracking the whip on Mau Mau," recalls 79-year-old Lucy Wanjiku. "He flew over the land calling for the surrender of forest fighters lest they face the wrath of the colonial soldiers and home guards."
Njiiri's son Mbiyu was named Kiambu Senior Chief Koinange wa Mbiyu (no relation) as a show of friendship between the two paramount chiefs. Koinange's daughter Grace Wahu was Kenyatta's first wife.
According to Hezekiah Mwangi Kanyugi, who served as Kangari Assistant Chief under Njiiri's son Kigo between 1952 and 1963, a shared ancestry of their fathers maybe contributed to this move. Kenyatta's father Ngengi wa Muigai and chief Njiiri's father Karanja wa Njiiri, he claims, hailed from Ngenda village in Murang'a but moved to Gatundu and Kigumo respectively.
"Their fathers' common origin apparently bonded them and so Njiiri and Kenyatta remained close friends," said Mwangi, 85. Njiiri was born in 1856 and Kenyatta in 1890s. "I think this friendship, coupled with the same origin, contributed to the sacrifice by Kariuki."
Njiiri's son Kariuki had schooled at the Lincoln University in the United States with the likes of Kwame Nkrumah (Ghana's first president) and Nnamdi Azikiwe (Nigeria's first president). He was a beneficiary of Operation Crossroads Africa, a forerunner to other efforts to airlift African students to US for further education.
He returned to Kenya in the mid-1950s with his American wife, Ruth Stutts, who later served as President Kenyatta's personal secretary between 1961 and 1968.
Kariuki took an interest in politics before Independence, but his future seemed doomed because he was the son of brutal colonial collaborator. Because his father had more than 40 wives, the connection was not immediately apparent. To fool voters, he changed his name to Kariuki wa Muingi [Kariuki, son of the people] and won the Legco seat he later gave up for Kenyatta. After Independence, when Kenyatta became a national leader, Kariuki got back his seat and served the Kigumo constituency until the 1969 elections when he reacted with defiance when his identity was uncovered.
It is claimed he defiantly stated: "Since when did the crowd birth a child? I am not a son of the people. I am son of Chief Njiiri wa Karanja".
He lost the Kigumo seat to JFC Munene. Kariuki served as assistant minister for Local Government and later Wildlife and Natural Resources. He died in 1975 following a road accident at Juja, a year after his father's death. Four years after Karanja Njiiri died at 108, Kenyatta followed him to the grave.

if you find any bugs tell me and i will try my best to fix them.
This build is from July 15, 2009, so given how long it's been, I think WM6.1 is EOL (End Of Life'd) now - so this is probably as close to a "final" build as it comes - any further ones would likely be just a maintenance release to fix a nasty bug or two that crops up.

Third Ward Newsletter - August 2010 Full View From: Alderman Pat Dowell <ward03@cityofchicago.… View Contact Having trouble viewing this email? Click here Aldermanic Office of the Third Ward Newsletter August 2010 In This Issue Dear 3rd Ward Resident, Third Ward Review Events in and Around the July's record warm weather and severe storms certainly Third Ward didn't slow down the Third Ward. In addition to having a Third Ward Star major motion picture filmed at the historic Rosenwald located at 47th and Michigan, there was a lot of Third Ward August CAPS infrastructure work completed in the ward and I was the Schedule lead sponsor or co-sponsor for two significant pieces of legislation that were either passed or introduced in July that will help residents in the Third Ward as well as throughout the city. Please note that the City Sticker violation enforcement began August 1st. So if you do not have your city sticker, you need to visit www.chiccityclerk.com or call (312) 74-CLERK. We also have a very busy August with the Bud Billiken Day Parade on the 14th and my 4th Annual Back to School Extravaganza at Fuller Park on the 21st and several other events. Hope to see you there! Sincerely, http://us.mg203.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?.gx=1&.rand=4r8c629klk5p6 Page 1 of 12 Alderman Pat Dowell Third Ward Review Third Ward Senior Update Last month, Alderman Dowell hosted her Third Annual Senior Update event at Dawson Technical Institute. Residents from senior buildings in the Third Ward were provided transportation to the event where they were updated with important announcements about services that may benefit them and about activities in the ward. They were also treated to bingo games, raffles, prizes, and a delicious lunch. Special thanks to Chicago Chicken and Waffles located at 3947 S. King Dr. for generously preparing and providing excellent food for the event. Also, a huge thanks to the following Third Ward businesses: Walgreens for offering free commemorative pictures and gift cards, Tapas Valencia, Strictly by Hand Car Wash, Jimmy John's, Mothers Butter Popcorn, Starbucks on 35th and State, PACE, and Salon Heaven for contributing gift certificates or making other in kind donations. Also special thanks to 9th Police District and Officer Cheryl Clark for donating their time and a $50 gift certificate. Everybody had a great time and we look forward to doing it again next year. We had a great crowd of seniors at Some of our Bingo Winners this year's update http://us.mg203.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?.gx=1&.rand=4r8c629klk5p6 Page 2 of 12 More Bingo Winners Thank you Walgreen's Employees for Our Wonderful Interns from Put Generously Donating Your Time and Illinois to Work and Mikva Challenge Services A representative from PACE talks about the Seniors Ride Free Program Legislative Adjacent Lot Ordinance In July, Alderman Dowell was a chief sponsor of an ordinance that makes it easier for homeowners to acquire a city-owned vacant lot if there is one next door to them. The ordinance makes amendments to the existing Adjacent Neighbor's Land Acquisition Project (ANLAP) to raise the maximum appraisal value so that more vacant lot parcels qualify. This not only helps homeowners acquire additional land for green space and recreation while beautifying neighborhoods, but also generates revenue for the city via property taxes while relieving the city of unnecessary and costly maintenance burdens. You can view the ordinance and all City Council legislation by visiting www.chicityclerk.com. http://us.mg203.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?.gx=1&.rand=4r8c629klk5p6 Page 3 of 12 Abandoned Property Ordinance Vacant buildings are problematic in numerous ways. They are a drain on city resources, provide a haven for illegal activities, and are unsightly. A significant portion of these properties are owned or managed by banks and lending institutions as a result of the foreclosure crisis. It should be their responsibility to ensure their vacant buildings are secured, well-maintained, rehabilitated for resale, or demolished before they become problematic. Alderman Dowell introduced an ordinance to increase accountability and responsibility for banks who own and/or service vacant and abandoned buildings in Chicago. The ordinance will require each bank to post a bond of $10,000 on every vacant building they service. The banks will also be required to provide for a finder's fee to be given to neighbors who report maintenance violations on vacant properties. The finder's fee would be 5% of the total fines and fees assessed at a vacant property, usually amounting to somewhere between $50 and $250. You can read more about it in the Chicago Tribune's article by clicking here. Education Last year, Alderman Dowell wanted to ensure the expansion of Norfolk Southern's operations near John Hope College Prep benefited the students and our residents. She helped negotiate a deal with Norfolk Southern in which they will be contributing $25,000 to John Hope College Prep to design new academic programs and provide employment opportunities to students and residents. Last month, representatives from Norfolk Southern presented a check to Principal Michael Durr. Principal Durr is going to use the money to upgrade the school's science labs. Alderman Dowell with representatives from Norfolk Southern and CPS as they deliver a check to Principal Michael Durr New Principal and AP at Hendricks Academy We would like to welcome Ms. Julie Perisin and her Assistant Principal, Sandee McDonald to Hendricks Academy. Ms. Perisin lives in the community and taught for CPS for 26 years, teaching every grade except the fourth grade before becoming a Reading Coach for Area 14 schools. Ms. McDonald has been an educator for 22 years and taught first grade at Hendricks. She was a Reading Coach for Area 13 schools, worked as a manager for CPS' Office of Literacy, was a Reading Recovery Teacher and is the mother of three girls. In addition to increasing academic performance, their vision for the school is to bring the school back to life through beautification, increase enrollment, re-establish a music program, and make the school more open and accessible to the community. Sales Tax Holiday for School Supplies http://us.mg203.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?.gx=1&.rand=4r8c629klk5p6 Page 4 of 12 Legislation has been enacted to create an annual state sales tax holiday for clothing and school supplies. Local and home rule sales taxes will still apply to all items. From August 6 until August 15, residents will be able to purchase back-to-school items and only pay local sales tax. The five percent that typically goes to the state will be waived for these nine days. Traditional school supplies such as paper, notebooks, writing instruments and other office-type materials will be subject to the sales tax break. The tax holiday also applies to clothing items under $100 such as shoes, tops, bottoms, underwear and outerwear. Some specific items like school uniforms and limited athletic apparel are also on the approved list of sales tax holiday items. Infrastructure Update Street Lights The Chicago Department of Transportation has received a total of $515,000 in street light requests from Alderman Dowell's 2010 Aldermanic menu funds. The areas to receive new street lights are: 42nd Place from Princeton to the railroad viaduct, St. Lawrence from 45th to 47th, Emerald from 53rd to 54th, and Union from 51st to 55th. CTA Updates Redline Stations get Cleaned Alderman Dowell worked with Jeff Wilson, Government and Community Relations Officer from the CTA to get the Red Line stations at 47th and at Garfield cleaned. After touring 3rd Ward facilities with Jeff, these stations received a good power washing and all the stainless steel fixtures were polished. These stations are heavily utilized and need continuous maintenance. We will continue working with the CTA to ensure all of our transit stops are cleaner and safer. Shortening of Root St. Bus Stop Additionally, Alderman Dowell is working with Mr. Wilson to have CTA Bus Planning to shorten one bus stop at approximately 300 West Root Street on the north side of the street, east of the Viaduct. This will provide more parking opportunities for residents who live along Root and Princeton. Pedestrian Countdown Signals Upgrade Pedestrian countdown signals help the visually impaired to safely cross the street by giving an audio countdown. As part of the LED/Stimulus Program, updates to the pedestrian countdown signals will be made at the following locations: http://us.mg203.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?.gx=1&.rand=4r8c629klk5p6 Page 5 of 12 Storm Updates Application for Flood Assistance The City of Chicago has started applying for federal funding to assist Chicago residents who have experienced damages due to the recent flooding. Visit www.cityofchicago.org to download the instructions, application, and additional information. Once you have completed the application, you may e-mail it to email@example.com or drop it off at the Alderman's Office located at 5046 S. State St. You may also submit the form online and call 311 if you need assistance filling out the application. Proper Disposal of Flood Debris The heavy rains and flooding that Chicago experienced this weekend has left many residents with the unpleasant task of cleaning out their basements and throwing out many possessions that have been tainted by the flood water. Because flood debris can be filthy and full of bacteria, Streets & Sanitation considers the removal of debris to be a public health and safety service priority. Accordingly, the department will be putting out 60 additional garbage trucks and crews citywide to assist with bulk pick-ups of flood damaged items. Never put your flood debris in recycling containers and you should call 311 when you have an excessive amount of debris ready to be picked up. Tree Debris Last June, there were several nasty storms throughout the city. The total number of tree emergencies received and responded to in Chicago since June 18th has been 13,946. That is probably the most tree damage from a series of violent summer thunderstorms that Chicago has seen in at least two decades. Since June 18th http://us.mg203.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?.gx=1&.rand=4r8c629klk5p6 Page 6 of 12 crews have removed more than 16,220 debris piles generated by both their crews and by residents phoning into 311. Transformers 3 in the Third Ward Autobots and Decepticons have taken their battle to the Third Ward. During the third week of July, film crews turned the Rosenwald into an apocalyptic Russian ghetto. Brian Fairly, a freelancer from the Third Ward who is working on the film was nice enough to give Alderman Dowell and her crew a tour of the movie set. This was a great opportunity to use the abandoned Rosenwald building to bring revenue and excitement to the ward. The production crew made every effort to be good neighbors as they notified affected residents well in advance of the filming and took measures to ensure the community Optimus Prime benefited from their presence. For example, in exchange for the Getting Ready for use of the church for dining and breaks, the production crew His Next Scene at gave St. Paul C.O.G.I.C. a stipend. In addition, some local the Rosenwald businesses were patronized by the film crew. It sure will be exciting to see the the Third Ward in the movie when it comes out next year! Chinese Delegation Last summer, Alderman Dowell visited Beijing to learn about Olympic planning. This summer, it was our turn to be the hosts. For one week we hosted a delegation from Beijing Municipal Government Group with 21 officials from Beijing, China. The delegates were sponsored by the 21st Century Foundation and recently finished the English as a Second Language and Public Administration courses at the University of Chicago. They interviewed all the members of my staff and people from several other city and state official offices to find out what we do and how we do it. It was a lot of fun having them around and it was an educational experience for everyone. Our Chinese Delegates and Alderman Dowell at Governor Quinn's Signing of a Bill to Bring More Funding to Early Childhood Education Fight Loitering with Actions not Protests Below is the text from an article Alderman Dowell wrote and submitted to the Lakefront Outlook regarding effective ways to handle public nuisances associated with liquor stores, which appeared in their July 21, 2010 edition. FIGHT LOITERING WITH ACTIONS NOT PROTESTS We applaud the Bronzeville Area Residents Commerce Council (BARCC) for joining in the fight to address the very real problem of loitering in our community. Unfortunately, BARCC's signature issue - voting the neighborhood dry of packaged http://us.mg203.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?.gx=1&.rand=4r8c629klk5p6 Page 7 of 12 liquor sales - is an overkill solution that overshoots the real problems caused by loitering and does nothing to address the core problems that have troubled our community for years. As BARCC correctly points out, I have been working to address this longstanding problem for some time by attacking it from a variety of fronts. We share the same goal with BARCC of putting bad businesses out of business in our community, especially a shameless liquor store operator on 43rd & Calumet who we have been trying to close down for years. There are a few others that we agree need to go. However, BARCC's proposed solution of voting Bronzeville precincts dry to combat loitering would be like banning all fast food franchises to fight the problem of obesity. It's an overkill over-reaction that fails to effectively fight the core problem. Loitering and rowdy behavior are by-products of high unemployment, drug use and gang activity, none of which is caused by the sale of packaged goods, nor cured by eliminating the commerce and taxes generated by those businesses from our community's tax base. The right of citizens to vote precincts dry should be exercised on a very specific case-by-case basis to ensure the effects of that decision produce an actual benefit to the community rather than make a political statement that ends up doing more harm than good. Ten years ago, voters in Roseland reacted with a similar campaign of protest, but to this date have realized only mixed results for the community's economy while the plagues of crime and unemployment are as bad or worse after more than a decade. I believe it is irresponsible to eliminate businesses from the neighborhood without concrete plans to replace or enhance that revenue today and in the future. I also am neither cynical nor naïve in believing that bad behavior by businesses can be addressed with organized citizen involvement and effective use of legal remedies. For example, the Deleterious Impact-Public Nuisance ordinance was enacted specifically to address these kinds of liquor store related problems. We have already used this ordinance successfully to have at least one liquor license revoked, and with organized citizen involvement can make this a much more effective weapon going forward targeting unrepentant business operators. Vigorous citizen energy does make a difference when it is channeled properly into solutions that solve specific problems. Protest votes may be well organized and well intentioned, but still net a negative result. Let's all work together to ensure an outcome we all want, the best possible result for the entire community. Events in and Around the Third Ward National Night Out 2010 Celebration National Night Out is a nationwide event designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, generate support for, and participation in, local anti-crime programs, strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships, and send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back. The times and locations for each district event in the Third Ward are below: When: August 3rd http://us.mg203.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?.gx=1&.rand=4r8c629klk5p6 Page 8 of 12 Where: 1st District- 5pm-9pm at Grant Park (SW corner of Jackson and Columbus) 2nd District- 4pm-7pm at 4300 S.

Pershing) 21st District - 6pm-8pm at Promontory Point (55th and the Lakefront) Father Michael Pfleger will be speaking at the 21st District event. Chicago Public School's Back to School Festival CPS is hosting three back to school events this year in which free school supplies will be available. The one closest to the Third Ward will be in Englewood on August 6th. When: August 6, 2010 from 10am to 2pm Where: Ogden Park (6500 S.

Boston Celtics: Boston Should Trade For Terrence Ross By Jordan Van Beek: HoopStuff Writer Celtics Trade: Avery Bradley Celtics Receive: Terrence Ross Some of you Celtics fans probably disagree with this, but after you get done reading this, you may understand why this is a trade that the Celtics should attempt. Before we get started, I want to let you know that this is coming from a Celtic fan's point of view and it is written not because I think Avery Bradley is a bad player, but I think we would have a better future trading him. We can get a needed piece and it shouldn't be too hard to trade him, due to his defensive skills and upside. We all know the Celtics have begun their rebuilding process during this off season. They are strong at the point guard position with superstar, Rajon Rondo. The shooting guard spot could use some actual "shooting guards" and with Avery Bradley being the starter in Boston, that is not the case. The Celtics need at least one top notch shooter on the...

Keeping up to date on all of your social networks while on the PC is hard enough, but when you're using your phone, people must flip between browsers and applications, making the process even more difficult. At least two services at CTIA were announced that eliminate some of these headaches by aggregating social networks, like Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, on to one screen. The largest announcement was made by Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO), which unveiled oneConnect for the iPhone. The other announcement, which received less attention, was made by push e-mail company Visto. It's new service, Visto Mobile 6, will offer a push-enabled service that keeps people up to date on e-mail, social networking, SMS, IM and photo sharing. The big difference between the two is that Yahoo is distributing directly to consumers, whereas Visto sells through the carriers. Although both have a jumpstart on providing the service, copycats are inevitable since most of the sites the services connect to use open APIs.
— Yahoo's oneConnect: After the keynote, Joe Hayashi, Yahoo oneConnect's senior director of product marketing, walked me through the new product. He said oneConnect was first announced earlier this year, but the iPhone is the first implementation. He said often times the address book is the starting point of the phone, but it's such a static experience that they are trying to create a more social address book. The centerpiece is a tab called Pulse, where it integrates Facebook, Twitter and other networks on to the same page. That's where you can see the latest status updates and photos uploaded and with one click you can get to that person's address card. On the address card, it lists how you know that person, through Facebook or MySpace, for example. Future releases will include location-based services. One of the coolest things, which is not necessarily useful, is that when you are viewing a text messaging sequence between yourself and other friends, you can rotate the iPhone horizontally, and automatically the messages are viewed with avatars and thought bubbles. The avatars can be designed to look like your friend.
— Visto: Redwood City, Calif.-based Visto is most known for its push e-mail capabilities with most of its carrier customers being located in Europe. However, it made a move into social networking earlier this week when it announced its new product, which it calls it a

|Legendary Emmy-winner Dick Van Dyke is on duty as Dr. Mark Sloane, in one of the most successful contemporary mystery series of all time. With a lighthearted bedside manner and a nose for murder, the good-natured, unconventional and sometimes zany physician is one of TV's all-time favorite medical sleuths.
Also starring Scott Baio (Happy Days, Charles in Charge), Victoria Rowell (The Young & The Restless) and Barry Van Dyke (Airwolf), this collectable 16-disc set of the first three seasons of Diagnosis Murder is the perfect prescription for anyone who enjoys a suspenseful dose of felons, foul play and forensics.
"...a light, casual TV mystery with some familiar faces in the cast...that you can safely watch with the whole family. Paul Mavis, DVD Talk
Editor's NoteThe long-running CBS television series DIAGNOSIS MURDER offers a clever hybrid of the medical-drama and murder-mystery genres. Comedy legend Dick Van Dyke anchors the series as Dr. Mark Sloan, a hospital physician who helps his detective son, Steve (Van Dyke's real-life son, Barry), solve crimes for the Los Angeles Police Department. Helping out on the medical front are Sloan's hospital partner Dr. Amanda Bentley (Victoria Rowell), and, in the third season, new hire Jesse Travis (Charlie Schlatter, replacing Scott Baio's Dr. Jack Stewart). Warm, witty, and family-friendly, this collection presents every episode from the series' first three seasons, which includes guest appearances by Sally Jessy Raphael, Robert Guillaume, Dom Deluise, Dick Van Patten, Elizabeth Berkley, George Hamilton, and Morton Downey Jr.

Husqvarna: another case of "Italian"
Posted on May 4, 2013
Husqvarna towards the end, it now seems clear that you are outlining the worst case possible after the acquisition by the Company Varesina Pierer AG.
We are following with great attention and concern the events of the house thanks to Briandonno VareseNews , not only newspaper industry that has taken to heart the case.
In recent weeks there have been several meetings between the property, the leaders of the company and the unions. Unfortunately, representatives of Pierer Industries AG presented themselves at the negotiating table without a business plan and repeating the request of the cash integration extraordinary only on condition that you accept the cessation of production of motorcycles in Biandronno .
The question we make is: why KTM, via Pierer AG, a company bought by BMW, who continued to lose for three years now, and then close it so suddenly? There is no doubt that the acquisition resulting in the closure company benefits the Austrian house, which in one shot makes her one of the oldest brands in the industry (in 1903 began the production of motorcycles), delete a formidable competitor and absorbs the market share.
We hope that is not just another case of a sell-off of the foreigner of our company. We hope that you are interested entrepreneurs to come forward to propose alternative solutions.
Our dream would be that Giovanni Castiglioni, the son of Claudius, would evaluate the acquisition of industrial assets with resorption of the greater number of laborers, leaving the KTM brand and existing products. The clear goal of this step should be the revival of the Cagiva brand, starting from the jeep.
It would be a great blow to the Austrians

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Former Ohio State University running back Maurice Clarett was accused of using a gun to rob two people in an alley behind a bar early Sunday, police said.
Clarett, 22, who helped the Buckeyes win the national championship in 2002, fled when the bar owner or manager, who knew Clarett and the victims, came into the alley and identified him shortly before 2 a.m.
According to police, Clarett left the scene in a white sport utility vehicle with two other men and got only a cell phone from his alleged victims, who werent injured. He was wanted on two counts of suspicion of aggravated robbery.
Clarett sat out the 2003 season after he was charged with misdemeanor falsification for filing a police report claiming that more than $10,000 in clothing, CDs, cash and stereo equipment was stolen from a car he borrowed from a local dealership. He later pleaded guilty to a lesser charge.
Ohio State suspended Clarett for misleading investigators, and for receiving special benefits worth thousands of dollars from a family friend.
He later began an unsuccessful legal fight that went to the U.S. Supreme Court to be allowed in the NFL early. Clarett was chosen by the Denver Broncos in last years draft, but the team cut him in August.

CLINTONVILLE - Two AuSable Valley students recently recieved some world-class rewards for their knowledge of European culture and politics.
Christine Wemette and Eric Baldwin, two AVCS seniors in Miriam Worthington's Advanced French class were among 50 students chosen as prize winners in an essay contest put on by the French Consulate in New York City.
The contest invited high school students to write a 500-word essay, either in French or English, about the European Union and what it means to them. Students in the states of New York, New Jersey, and Conneticut were all eligible to compete, with the grand prize being round trip tickets to Paris and 5,000 euros in spending money.
Of the roughly 400 students she estimates took part, Worthington believes her students were the only ones in the North Country to do so. She said most of the participants came from the New York City area.
Both students wrote on the unity demonstrated by the European Union and the ways the organization has been able to contribute to a better world through international cooperation. Both chose to write in English.
Wemette noted that she had very little knowledge of the EU prior to writng her essay, but said it was an interesting way to learn.
"A number of our students, they don't realize the economic strength that [the European Union] has," said Worthington, adding that the EU is a model for international cooperation. "It is possible to coexist even with 14 different languages."
Baldwin, who has visited several of the countries in the EU, chose to participate because of his interest and appreciation for the organization. He was one of several prize-winners to receive a gift bag of luxury items imported from Europe.
Wemette's essay, on the other hand, placed in the top 10, taking one of only seven second prizes awarded. Her prize included round trip airline tickets to Paris and 2,000 euros in spending money. Under current exchange rates, that equates to about $2,670.

Greetings. On behalf of the United States Court of Federal Claims, welcome to our website.
On May 12, 2015, the court and the Court of Federal Claims Bar Association partnered for our annual Law Day observance luncheon at the Willard Intercontinental Hotel here in Washington, DC. The luncheon provided a wonderful opportunity for members of our bench and bar to gather together to share a meal and to honor this year's Law Day theme, "Magna Carta: Symbol of Freedom Under Law." Keynote speaker Professor A.E. Dick Howard, White Burkett Miller Professor of Law and Public Affairs at the University of Virginia School of Law, was both entertaining and illuminating, demonstrating the enduring legacy of Magna Carta on American Democracy. Thank you to all who were able to join us.
Also on May 12, the court's Advisory Council met to discuss various issues affecting practice before our court. One of the developing issues discussed was how the court's use of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) procedures can be improved. It is our goal to introduce a new ADR policy in the fall at the court's annual judicial conference. Read more.

Two wrecks near Sonora on Saturday left six dead and five injured.
Six people were killed after their sport utility vehicle was rear-ended by a tractor-trailer at 11:13 a.m. near mile marker 83 northbound on Interstate 65. The SUV then caught fire, said Norman Chaffins, Kentucky State Police Post 4 spokesman.
The people who died were identified as residents of Marion, Wis., Chaffins said.
They were James Gollnow, 62, and his wife, Barbara Gollnow, 62. Also killed were Marion Champnise, 92, Sarina Gollnow, 18, Gabriel Zumiga, 10, and Soledad Smith, 8. Two of the children were foster children, Chaffins said.
Deputy Hardin County Coroner Kenneth Spangenberger, one of the four staff members from the coroner's office who helped process the scene of the crash, said all of the bodies were transferred to the state medical examiner's office for autopsy.
Cause of death is expected to be determined after autopsy, he said.
Two other foster children were injured in the crash. They were identified as Hope Hoth, 15, and Aidian Ejnik, 12, Chaffins said.
The children's injuries were not considered life-threatening. Hoth was flown to a hospital in Lexington and Ejnik to a hospital in Louisville, he said.
The truck driver, whose name hasn't been released, told police the SUV in front of him stopped or slowed quickly for an unknown reason. The truck driver was following too closely to stop in time, Chaffins said.
That crash was followed by another 16 minutes later at the same location but on the southbound side of the interstate, Chaffins said.
Four vehicles collided, injuring three. One was injured critically, Chaffins said
The names of those injured in that crash haven't been released.
Police didn't know Saturday evening what caused the second crash. They plan to investigate whether rubbernecking was a factor, Chaffins said.
Both wrecks still are under investigation.
After the wrecks, traffic was backed up for miles in each direction after police closed the interstate in both directions between exits 81 and 86. The road was closed from the time of the crash until about 4:55 p.m.
The Elizabethtown Fire Department, the Hardin County Sheriff's Office and KSP Commercial Vehicle Enforcement also responded to the wrecks.

Andre Lhote
Andre Lhote BiographyAndré Lhote was a French sculptor and painter of figure objects, landscapes, portraits and still life. Lhote was born in Bordeaux and learnt the art of woodcarving and sculpture at the age of 12. He was apprenticed to a local furniture maker to be trained as a sculptor in wood. He then attended the Ecole des beaux-arts in Bordeaux in 1898 and studied decorative sculpture until 1904. In 1905 he moved to his own studio to devote himself to painting. Among his influences were Paul Gauguin and Paul Cezanne. His first exhibition was at the Gallery Druet in 1910. His work was interrupted by the outbreak of World War II, after 1917 he was discharged and he became part of the Cubist group supported by Leonce Rosenberg. In 1918, Lhote founded the Nouvelle Revue Francaise, an art journal to which he contributed on art theory until 1940. His work was awarded with the Grand prix National de Peinture in 1955 and the UNESCO commission for sculpture appointed Lhote president of the international painters, engravers and sculptors. Lhote died in Paris in 1962.

Beach of the Persian Gulf
The Emirate has plentiful beautiful beaches to enjoy sunbathing, beach combing, and water sports.
I should say that the main attraction of the UAE and Sharjah city for us was the opportunity to spend several days in December in warm and sunshine region with splendid beach of the beautiful Persian Gulf. And we got it: air temperature 25-28C at day time and 18-20 by night, water temperature 23-24C.

The second lagoon – Al Khan is still under construction which comes to its end. I walked along its eastern side twice. The third lagoon – Al Mamzar is bordered with Dubai and is under construction which began not so far.
A walk around lagoons is very exciting because of magnificent views on skylines and waterfronts.

Qanat al Qasba
It is a giant wheel, named Eye of the Emirates, (60 m) offers aerial view of Sharjah corniche, lagoons and landscape as well as the horizons of the neighbouring Dubai. Built in The Netherlands this giant wheel has 42 air-conditioned cabins that go 60 meters high over Sharjah. It is capable of carrying 336 passengers at a time.
Entrance fee is 20 AED ($6). Unfortunately I couldn't find time to climb up Al Qusba by means of this wheel. May be next time…
Sharjah Grand Mosque
The city is also notable for its numerous elegant mosques. Sharjah Grand Mosque is among them. I admired its wonderful view from Radisson SAS when we were waiting for tourists lived there. It's surrounded by the park at the coast of the Persian Gulf.
Al Noor Mosque
Al Noor Mosque or Masjid Al-Noor is situated alongside the corniche of King Khaled Lake.
It is a copy of the "Blue Masjid" in Istanbul and Masjid Mohammad Ali Pasha, Salah Ad-Dine Al-Ayoubi Citadel in Cairo.
One exception: the "Blue Mosque" has 6 minarets, but the Mosques in Cairo and Sharjah have traditionally only 2 minarets each.
It has been constructed to commemorate Sheikh Mohammed bin Sultan Al Qasimi - the Emir of Sharjah's eldest son. We have been told that he died of a heroin overdose in England.
Zehra Mosque
Sharjah's culture is firmly rooted in the Islamic traditions of Arabia. Islam is more than a religion, it is an integral part of everyday life for all Muslims and some of the basic values include honesty, courtesy and hospitality.

Remember Me
The Charlie Hunter Quintet announced a five concert residency – January 30, 2003 and every subsequent Thursday (6, 13, 20, 27) in February – at the recently reopened Tribeca venue No Moore. The concert series is entitled Right Now Move, after the quintet's forthcoming record on ropeadope records. The shows will feature Charlie's new quintet - John Ellis on tenor saxophone, Curtis Fowlkes on trombone, Gregoire Maret on harmonica, and Derrek Phillips on drums – working it out in preparation for their national tour supporting the new record, tentatively scheduled for release in late March, 2003.
Charlie Hunter grew up in Berkeley, California. At the age of 12 he invested seven bucks in his first guitar, and after hours of practice and lessons from a local guitar teacher named Joe Satriani, he found his calling. He played guitar and bass in the Michael Franti-led group Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, and on the side he developed the first prototype of his current eight-string guitar, which features three bass strings and five guitar strings. Even after 10 years playing the instrument, Charlie feels like he's just getting into the swing of it. "It's a bear of an instrument, but as time goes by I'm getting more musical on it. And that's the goal." Ask any fan, however, and they'll tell you that Charlie dominates the dual instrument like few players of a normal guitar or bass.
The new quintet is as accomplished of a group of musicians as Charlie has ever played with. Saxophonist John Ellis has been with Charlie's band for the past year, and previously played with the likes of Jason Marsalis and Harold Battiste. He recently came in second place in the prestigious 2002 Thelonious Monk competition. Trombonist Curtis Fowlkes is most known for his work with John Lurie's Lounge Lizards and as a co-founder of New York's own Jazz Passengers. Gregoire Maret's chromatic harp is a unique addition to Charlie's band, and he has already established himself with the likes of Little Jimmy Scott, Jacky Terrasson and Leon Parker. Last but not least, drummer Derrek Phillips has shared the stage with the likes of Ronny Jordan, Greg Osby, Jason Moran, Rufus Reid, Joshua Redman and Marcus Belgrave.
The concert series is brought to you by Velour Presents, the promotional arm of the the New York City record label and management company Velour Music Group, home of the artists Soulive, Topaz, Lettuce, Kaki King, Moonraker and Baba. Velour Presents recently brought the KDTU New Year's Eve Extravaganza to NYC, featuring Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, Robert Walter's 20th Congress and DJ Z-Trip, and has a long history with Charlie, going back to their promotion of last year's Garage a Trois debut in NYC and the 2000 Charlie Hunter residency at No Moore.
Tickets are $12, and can be purchased in advance at noon EST at Velour Music, CharlieHunter.com or SCI Ticketing. Tickets also will be available at the door, but keep in mind that No Moore is an intimate venue – capacity 250 – and the shows will sell out. No Moore is located at 234 West Broadway (at North Moore St.); doors are at 8pm. Check the above websites for more information!

of Significance
|1922- (social) 1922-1949 (historical, fabric)
|Criterion A
|The Goondiwindi War Memorial is important in demonstrating the pattern of Queensland's history, as evidence of an era of widespread expression of Australian patriotism and nationalism, during and following the First World War.
|Criterion E
|It exhibits aesthetic characteristics valued by the community: the monument is well-crafted in unusual and fine materials; and the formal tableau of the monument and poplars framed by the gates makes an aesthetic contribution to the Goondiwindi townscape.
|Criterion G
|It has a strong association with the community as evidence of the impact of a major historical event.
|The Goondiwindi War Memorial includes a 'Digger' statue erected in 1922 and a set of gates erected in 1949, as memorials to the First and Second World Wars respectively. The Soldiers' Monument was originally erected in Herbert Street, with an iron fence surrounding the monument. The monument cost £1 800 and was unveiled in September 1922, by Sir Matthew Nathan, Governor of Queensland, who was in Goondiwindi to observe an eclipse of the sun. It is likely that the monument was erected by a public committee. Although the designer of the monument is unknown, it is possible that it was manufactured in New South Wales. In 1949 the monument was re-sited, presumably at the time the World War 2 Memorial Gates were constructed. More than £2 844 was spent on transferring the monument to the park site and erecting the gates. The gates were erected by the Goondiwindi War Memorial Committee, and were unveiled in April 1949 by Sir Thomas William Glasgow. At the completion of the ceremony the keys of the gates were handed to Alderman F Vetter, symbolic of the town accepting responsibility and custody of the memorial. The designer of the gates is also unknown.
|The Goondiwindi War Memorial is located at the western end of Goondiwindi's main street, in the south-eastern corner of the Goondiwindi Memorial Park. The memorial consists of a Digger monument (WWI) and memorial gates (WWII). The monument rises to approximately six metres and is centrally placed within a generous square enclosure whose boundaries are defined by poplar trees, hedges, silky oaks and figs. The monument is axially aligned with the memorial gates, which truncate the street corner. The monument framed by the gates with a backdrop of poplar trees creates an impressive formal tableau. The monument is comprised of a life-sized grey sandstone Digger on a red and grey polished granite column, which sits on a polished blocked trachyte pedestal and a stepped concrete base. The pedestal has gilt incriptions, and the column has a grey granite base and capital with a red granite shaft. The Digger stands with his left foot forward, holding the top of the rifle barrel in his right hand. The memorial gates are formed with sandstone pillars and decorative steel gates, and comprise a central gateway flanked by two smaller gateways. The pillars have sandstone nibs, and are topped with rectilinear octagonal light fittings. The gates have circular motifs and crests. The monument is well-crafted in fine materials, and the formal tableau of the monument and poplars framed by the gates makes a stong aesthetic contribution to the Goondiwindi townscape.

Natural gas prices to increase in state Nov. 1
More than 1.2 million natural gas customers in Washington will pay more for service beginning Nov. 1 due to increases in wholesale natural gas costs and colder than average temperatures last winter. The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission Thursday approved increases for the state's four natural gas utility companies. In Western Washington, Puget Sound Energy's […] [Read More]
UTC moves slowly to fix natural gas 'hedging' problems
In April 2013, the Washington State Utilities and Transportation rejected the return of more than $7 million to customers for high "hedging" costs by the state's four natural gas companies. Natural gas prices fluctuate daily, so gas companies use hedging to lock in prices for future purchases to avoid some of the fluctuations. Instead of […] [Read More]

Although staff for the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission recommended a $400,000 fine to settle a gas safety complaint against Puget Sound Energy related to a 2011 explosion and house fire, the three-member commission decided on a $275,000 penalty instead. Update: On Friday, the staff of the commission asked for a correction to this article […] [Read More]

Banking On a Glimpse Of You

The Fateful Finger of Fog
It crept in the morning, the fateful finger of fog.
Breathing upon, touching, altering all in its path.
Was it frightening or enlightening?
None could ever say.
For it wakening and stirred that which
Each dwelled upon the most.
What if...?
Just a thought.

In the snowy forest, there are secrets to be heard.
From the nigh on perfect snowflake
To the whispers of a bird.

Take Me Over The Edge
When you shoot an iconic spot like Eagle Falls at Lake Tahoe, you just have to shut out all the noise.
And I don't mean all the water roaring by! I'm talkin' about all that yammering in your head that says "EVERYONE has shot this... most of them better than you... this is pointless... Oh, ok fine shoot it, but it's gonna be stupid."
She pauses.
Not that I've ever done that.
No, when you shoot an iconic spot like Eagle Falls, you just have to marvel at THAT little water droplet - that one right there that NO one has ever captured in EXACTLY the way you're about to - and isn't it gorrrrrrgeous? Snip-snap.
That's what have to you do.

Red House On The Roaring River
Winter 2010-11 kicked our butts. I know we weren't alone, but up here in the Sierra Nevadas, we had match-point record snowfall.
At 50-60 feet depending on where you were standing, it didn't actually break all the records… but it was jawdropping all the same.
And interminable. I mean, people tunneled down into their homes, okaayyy? I mention this because when you have record snowfall, it means record snowmelt too.
This was the Yuba River near Big Bend on July 4th. Water level higher even than it was 2 weeks before… and so dangerous even the gnarliest kayakers were benched.
This house had the best view… although I think if you lived there, you'd have gone deaf from the constant roar.
Man, nature amazes me.

Convict Lake
My first visit there. I love that feeling of the first time... your heart quickens, your eyes get all sharp and darty at the new sights, even my stomach jumps around a little at the excitement of NEW.
I'm big on the story too - and I love hearing them about the places I visit. Convict Lake was named after an incident in 1871, where a group 'o thugs, er, 'convicts' escaped from prison in Carson City. That's 200 miles away. So a buncha lawmen, er, a 'posse' chased those buggers all the way down here, where they had a shootout. The sheriff was killed, as was his Indian guide. They named the lake after the convicts, the mountain (Mt. Morrison) after the sheriff. Nobody named anything after the Indian guide, which strikes me as just pure ungrateful.
It was a moody, weathery day... kinda fitin' with the story that goes with it. But I just went with the vibe and took this photograph to remember it all by.

The Message audio Bible is now available on Bible Gateway! Click to learn more.
18:13–16 Saul's removal of David from the court, with an accompanying demotion in military rank, may be intended to decrease David's visibility and popularity, as well as to increase the risk of his dying in battle. The effect of Saul's scheming, however, is actually the reverse. David is brought into closer contact with the people, so that "all Israel and Judah loved David" (v. 16).

1104 Tasting Notes
This tea makes me do this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zldJlUSJ9OI
I forgot to pack my daily tea to bring with me to work today! Lately I've been bringing whatever I'm in the mood for any given morning. So today I'm stuck with whatever is hanging out in my desk tea stash. I used to really love this tea! Now it just tastes like hazelnut coffee…meh. It is alright, I'm just more into straight teas these days, I think…or more sophisticated flavored teas maybe! shrug
Found a small ziplock bag with some tea leaves in it near where I keep my Verdant teas. I am pretty sure this one is a puerh?? Man I need to make sure I label stuff better. Anyway, trying to do some sip downs this week since I have a million new teas on the way! :D Anyway, whatever this is seems to be doing the trick for a Monday morning (I ate WAY TOO MUCH junk this weekend) detox. Earthy and smooth.
Much delayed tasting note, heh. I had one of these this morning before heading out for the day. It was delicious as always! Today is my birthday and I had lunch went shopping and got a pedicure with my mom! While we were out I took advantage of my free "whatever the heck I want" for my birthday drink at Starbucks (just register a gift card on their website and you can have one too!) Anyway, it ended up being a huge Venti caramel crunch frappe with soymilk and an extra shot of espresso, so I am WELL caffeinated for the rest of the day. Cracked out even!! boing boing boing Anyway, my sweet husband got me a Butiki gift card for my birthday so I CAN'T WAIT to place my birthday order! :D
Happy Birthday! … belated where you are… but it'd still be your bday for another couple hours if you were in HI :)
Having a cup of this this morning with a rice crispy treat with M&Ms in it. My coworkers brought them for my birthday treat! My birthday is actually tomorrow, but I'm off work so we're celebrating it at work today :D Anyway, very tasty combo, heh.

Cowboys quarterback and Eastern Illinois graduate Tony Romo was it the Cubs game yesterday, throwing out the first pitch and leading the crowd in the traditional seventh inning rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." The throwing part went well. The singing part…not so much. Sadly, he still may have a better voice than his significant other.
Yeh… he did butcher the song. He wasn't the worst guest singer I have heard at Wrigley. That honor goes to Ozzie Ozborne, in 2nd place it would have to be Mike Ditka. So America's team QB get's a 3rd place finish, IMHO
have u seen jeff gordon? yea youtube it! i must say he is at least 2nd place if not first.
all romo needed was a stutter and he would have sounded like jimmy on south park! ggggaaame!
Ashley and Jessica Simpson both thought he had an excelent voice. Maye Joe can futher Romo's music career too?

(Nasdaq: HGSI) announced today that it will modify the dosing in one arm of each of its ACHIEVE clinical trials of Albuferon(R) (albinterferon alfa-2b) for chronic hepatitis C. Patients in the Phase 3 trials who have been receiving the 1200-mcg dose will now receive a 900-mcg dose. The change is based on recommendations made by the studies' independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC). HGS continues to expect to have all Phase 3 data available by spring 2009 to support the filing of global marketing authorization applications by fall 2009.

"For some time we have viewed the 900-mcg dose administered every two weeks as the most likely marketed dose of Albuferon," said H. Thomas Watkins, President and Chief Executive Officer, HGS. "The 900-mcg dose demonstrated comparable efficacy and safety to Pegasys in Phase 2 - with half the injections, improvements in quality of life and fewer missed days of work during treatment. We continue to believe that Albuferon could become the market-leading interferon for the treatment of hepatitis C if Phase 2 900-mcg results are confirmed in Phase 3."
Consistent with its charter, the DMC routinely reviews all adverse
events for each treatment group. Serious pulmonary adverse events, while
expected and rare during interferon therapy, were higher in the treatment
group receiving 1200-mcg Albuferon administered every two weeks. The DMC
did not express any safety concerns about the 900-mcg dose of Albuferon.
Based on the DMC's review and conclusions, the patients receiving a
