\ Your obedient servant,

The following Is tho momonal - " Maj it ploaso your bxcolloncy
" Tho roprosontativo of nn Influential English coin panj having ariived in this colony, with power to cntci into a contract for tho monthly dospatch of a line of stoamors between Sydney and England, via [Panama and the company in quostlon having
rcsnlvod not to o itor upon the undortakintr without lecelviiifj a subsidy of fifty thousand pounds por an i um, which amount, as your Excolloucy will recognise, is not so much a pocuniary gratification as an earnest 'of tho goodwill of the subsidizing parties, and tho colony of Now Zealand having volunteered to sub fernie fifteen thou«and pounds of this amount, your memorialists would oarnestiv entreat your Excolloucy to urge upon your Council and tho Parliament of New South Wales the advisabilitj of according the balanco of tho subsidy required, to say, thirty flvo thousand pounds, for tho establishment of a monthlj steam communication botween Sydnoy and Southampton, via Panama, for the folio« lug rea-
rons -
"Firstly-That from the amount that would b3 oxponded iii Now South Wales by the Company por foi ming this contract, and the rovonuo that would acciuc trom postages under it, thoro is every proba- bility that, if not direetlj remunorath o, it would provosclf supporting
"Seoondlj -Ihat as this Uno of stoam postal ser vice would bo maintained entirely by colonial re
souicoi, th io Is less chanco of Its bolng Interrupted by any clrcu st tuces that might occur to disturb tho peace of "? uropo, the winch has already intorfored vi Hil steam communication botu ecu England and this colony, and which, according to the wording of tho existing contract with tho European and Australian Compiim might at any timo occur again
' lhirdlj -lliat two andahalf yearsof tho prosent i ostol contract will have expired before the proposed lint, via Paulina could come into oporation
Fourthly -That vi hilo the number of days at sea -w oultl not bo greater than it is under the present eon tract, tho omenionco to passongors, in conscquenca of the lov.01 Kio of faros, would be Infinitely groator, and the probability of increased immigration thoroby much augmented
" Fifthly-Ihat as soon as tho submarine electric tolcgraph between England and America and tho con- tracts for which havo been accepted, ¡s laid down, the communication botwoon Europe and this colony would not exceod thirty to thirty Ave days
" SLithlj -That the im rcasiug trado of Now South Wales demands, if not a somi monthly stoam postal service at nil otcnts, tho extension of steam commit ideation to countries with which at present it has no direct postal corrcspondonoo moro particularly with the United States of America, tho imports from ?winch countn during the \oar 1850, ovcoedod the Taluo of tinco hundred and fortj thousand pounds
"And, lastlj-That bj the establishment of tho pro liosoil lino tho metropolitan position of Sydnoy tvoitll bo rostoiod bj making it tho first point of arrival and tho last point of uoparturo in the reception and despatch of English mails '
The Secretary of the New South Wales ?Chamber of Commerce had ftlsôenClôaêc! copy cf an advertisement of certain resolutions .unai.' noti6ly passed at a public meeting held «t " ! r>y on the evening of the 29th April,
which .> as follows -
1 That this mooting boing convinced of tho im portanco to this colony oi tho establishment of stoam communication with England ina Panama, has loarned witii gratlflcitlon that a representativo of tho Itoyil Mail Company has arilvod in Sjdnoj, ompowerol tj enter into a provisional contraot for such service
2 That in ordor that this colony may derivo the utmost adiantago fiom tho proposed sorvico from Panama this mooting Is of opinion that thj Gov crninont of Now South Wales should bo the solo contractors for the said son co, o/on at tho cost of the full sum required of £05 ODO per annum, rosorving the absoluto right to onter Into tub contracts it 1th the neighbouring colonies, to the exclusion of any private arrangements botween thom and the Itoj al Mail Companj
3 That this mooting Is firmly persuaded that th» advantagos to Now South Wiles from such connoxloa M îth tho \\ estorn Woild will ovontually moro than ropay the contemplated outlaj
4 That this meeting, having îecogrised in the pre- ceding resolutions tho lnfiuite importance to the colony of Itow South Wales of steam communl cation with England «¡a Panama, while pledging it self to support that soi vico, Is further of opinion that the Australasian colonies will, In their rapid progress, ero long roquiro a semi monthly communication with England and that it is obviously desirable that such communication should bo alternately bj way of Suoz
and Panama
This communication and its enclosures had been read to the committee of the Chamber on Monday last, and had been received with the almost unanimous expression of opinion that whilst the establishment of the pro- posed route was very desirable, the resolutions submitted afforded advan- tages to New South Wales which the committee thought would not, in the event of their being carried out, be participated in to a commensurate extent, by this colony. After some few further remarks, he con- cluded by expressing a hope, that some useful discussion would ensue, and that resolutio ns would bo proposed in addition to those pre nared by a committee of the Chamber, who had that morning been engaged in the con-
sidération nf tim mifistion.
Mr. JOSEPHS ttíeñ" proposed the following
resolution :
That this Chamber affirms tho groat dosirabillty of ' steam postal communication with England via Pana- ma, iii addition to tho prosont Overland route, nnd would urgo upon tho Government any well-di- gested and approvod scheme for promoting; this object.
Mr. HAWTHORNE seconded the resolu-
Mr. SIOHELL objected to the vague and general wording of this resolution, which, he contended, in no respect,pointed at the pro- position which had come down from Sydney. He moved the following amendment upon
it :- -
That this mooting, although favourable to a steam postal communication fía Panama, cannot, with tho vague Information at prosont at its disposal, promise any support to tho Boyal Mail Company.
Mr. MOUBITZ seconded the amendment.
Mr. BOWDEN was speaking to the amend- ment, when it was suggested by
Mr. JOSEPHS that it would be very desi- rable, in order to enable the mem- bers of the Chamber to comprehend the bearing of tho resolutions whioh had been prepared for discussion by the Oora mittee, that they; should be read to the Cham- ber, without prejudice to their formal propo- sition by the members in whose hands they had been placed ; and that, in the meantime, Mr. Sichell should consent to the withdrawal of his amendment on the first resolution, a3 he (Mr. Josephs) thought that the object Bought by it had been anticipated by a resolu- tion not yet in the ordinary course before the
This course having been assented to, the remaining resolutions proposed by the Com' xnittee to be submitted to the meeting were read, as follows :
2nd. That beroi e a Uno via Panama can bo brought into operation, this port will afford all noeossary f acill ties for the repairs, ko., of tho largest steamers ; and, seolng ita moro central position and commarcial im- portance, it ought to bo made the laBt port of arrival
and first of doparture, as Sydney is of the existing line
.«ia Suoz.
8rd. That this Chamber, whilst fully alivo to the importance of opening a Uno of steam communication to England via Panama, beforo pledging itself to anj scheme, consldors it advisable that air. Wotton slioult Sut himsolf in direct communication with this Cham
er for tho purposo of stating any proposals ho maj be empowered to make on behalf or tho Company li »epresonts, whioh would equally próvido for goaora
I Mr. BO VVDEN then continued his remarks. He believed that the main thing which this colony had to do in the matter was to pro- vide for the accommodation of the large steamers engaged in the trade. Although th« European Company had hitherto giveu no great amount of satisfaction, he knew that all the mon connected with it were of au independent spirit not likely to be daunted by ordinary difficulties, and that if the con- tract could be carried out they were tho peo-
ple who would do so.
Mr. SIOHELL having heard the subsequent resolutions, read, felt now, disposed to press his amendment. He objected that the Chamber possessed no guarantee that Mr. Wotton was an accredited agent, or
that ho was anything more than a mere ad-
Mr. LORD thought that there were not tvva person» ia the room who would not vote ia favour of the fust resolution, affirming tha. desirability of establishing the route; and.as the amendment of Mr. Sichell had no refer- ence whatever to that point, he trusted ha would withdraw it for the present.
Mr. SICHELL consented to do so.
Mr. FRANKLYN briefly supported tha resolution, which was put by the Chairman,
and carried unanimously.
Mr. MTJIB then moved the second resolu- tion (as printed above). In doing 60 he felt that it was unnecessary to refer to the greater, commercial importance of Victoria than New South Wales, notwithstanding the metropo- litan assumption of the latter. With regari to the accommodation for large steamers and the facilities for their repairs, he thought that the commercial comnutuity, as well as the ge moral interest of the colony, might congratu- late themselves on the recent assumption of office by a number of business men who would bo able to carry out such objects, as well as bo the means of affecting other improve
MMr. G. MARTIN seconded the resolution.
BgA lengthened discussion ensued, and au amendment wasproposed by Mr.DRrSDALS, but not reduced to writing.
"TA'subsequent amendment was proposed by Mr.'SERVICE, , ^ it ,. tI
That tho Oliaiiber proceod to tho consideration of
tho third resolution,
which, after further discussion, was put aud
Mr. MONTEFIORE then proposed tha third resolution (as printed above). This motion, be said, had been prepared by tha commitfc in anticipation of some of the ob- jections which had been urged, under tha conviction that before the Chamber pledged itself to recommending the Government i> . co-operate with that of New South Wales, it was
deshable for them to ascertain what guaranto 3 they had of tho conditions of any contract which might be entered into being carried out. With reference to the observations of Mr. Sichell as to Mr, Wetton being probably an adventurer, he thought that the fact of that gentleman having been accompanied to Sydney by the accredited agent of the Now Zealand Góvernmont, afforded ample guaran- tee against any supposition of the kind.
Mr. NEÜHAUSS seconded the resolution.
Mr. FRAKLYN objected to support any measure on thosubject which took as a funda- mental rule the unfavourable position of Vic- toria in relation to New South Wales on the matter of arrival and departure of the steamers. Although he was aware that this subject cania more properly under the consi deiation of the second resolution, it was in- separable from the one now under discassion, and ho felt that it would be necessary to oxpress nn opinion that any proposition which involved such an understanding would not be regarded favourably by the Chamber. He considered that Victoria should hold with the utmost jealousy any advantages which bho might possess, or acquire, of facilitating; her communication with the mother-country. He would therefore most strenuously oppo3a any proposition of the Chamber to give ta Now South Wales such an advantage in that îeBpect over Victoria.
Mr. BOWDEN, after some further discus- sion, moved, as an amendment
That tho President ho roquostod to call a special meeting of tho Olumbor for as early a day as con- venient, aftor tho doparturo of the next mall, for tho discussion of tho vvholo question, and of Hie propriety
of applying to the Government to subsldlio a mall linn
Irotn Panama.
Mr. JOSEPHS, in order that the whole sub- ject might receive more thorough investiga- tion at a fuller meeting of the Chamber than there was now time to devote to that purpose, seconded the amendment, which wai put and carried.
The meeting then closed.
BRIGHTON ELEOTION.-The declaration of the poll for the Brighton election takes plac Î to-day at noon, in front of the Little Brighto a
BIRTHDAY BALI,.-We find that a com- mittee, comprising the names of some of our leading colonists, has already been formed for making the requisite airangements for a public ball to be given at the Exhibition on the anniversary of her Majesty's birthday. I£ IB supposed, under the circumstances of Sir Henry Barkly's rocont domestic bereavement, to be intended in substitution of the enter- tainment usually given on that day by her Majesty's representative. Application for tickets t may be mode to the honorary secre taiy, Lieutenant Richards, 40th Regiment, at the mess buildings, in Lonsdale-Btreet west.
THE BENEVOLENT ASYLUM.-The now wing of tho Benevolent Asylum, in aid of which « Bazatr wa3 held in the Exhibition building in November last, has now been advanced to tho completion of the basement story, and promises eventually to be a veiy commodious and handsome addition to the present struc- ture. The new wing will be 95 feet 8 inches in length, and 61 feet 6 inches in width, and will contain, in the basement, large storage ?accommodation. On the ground floor will b3 the board-room, 28 feet by 28, with a walting room, and a physician's room, l8 feet square. There will be also a surgeon s room, 23 feet by la,feet; a dispensary, 21 feet by 15 feet with a sitting and bed-room attached ; two bath-rooms and clothes' store. The first floor is approaohed by front and back staircases, the former of which is of stone, and the back for the use of officers aud attendants. This floor contains two largd wards, 40 feet by 28 feet, and 32 feet by 23 feet, and 14 feet high, a ward 21 feet by 16 feet, and a smaller one, 16 feet by 14 feet, with a nurses' and operating-room, ]abôratory,_ bath-room, and closets. The at- tic story is arranged in a similar manner. Altogether there will be additional beds and rccommodntlon for one hundred persons. The subject of water supply and ventilatioa bns received a great deal of attention, but probably not more than its importance de- mands. The building is being erected under the superintendence of Mr. Alfred L. Smith, architect, of Temple-court, who has been for rome years connected with the institution, nnd whose plans were recommended for adop- tion by the Honourable the Commissioner of Public Works. The cost of the basement story, already completed is £2,000, and thal total expense of erection will probably not fat
Ehort of £8,000. Tenders are now being pro cured for the shell of the building, and it iï likely that there may aiise a necessity for a still further claim on the generosity of tha public, which, munificent as it has been, eau ecarcely be devoted to a worthier or moro ne- cessary object. We believe thero are few among the ladies of Melbourne who would re- fuse, it need were, to give their valuable aid
towards another Bazaar.
SUICIDE.-Information was on Thursday afternoon brought to the police that a mart had been found hanging to a tree at tho head of Dead Dog Gully. Mr. Inspector Kirk, with two troopers, immediately proceeded ta the spot. The body was fiist discovered by a person of the name of Merkett, who was crossing the ranges. It has not yet been iden- tified. The unfortunate man was about five feet seven inches in height, of a sallow com- plexion, wore a small moustache, with a few hairs on the chin, and had the appearance of not being in the habit of shaving. He had on a blue cotton shirt, moleskin trousers, strong knee boots, worn inside the trousers, with heavy nails in the soles, and a light coloured oil-skin coat. On the ground near him were found half a bottle of brandy, a large pruning-knife, a light-coloured felt hat, a tin billy full of water, some tea and sugar, tobacco and pipe, and a merino waistcoat with bone buttons. The sum of seven shil- lings and threepence was found in his poc- kets. The limb of the tree on which he was hanging was seven feet from the ground; and it appears that in order to reach the noose of the rope, which was a clothes-line, he had rolled a log to the foot of the tree, and built a scaffold of boughs and stones, which he had kicked from under him in order to drop. There was every appearance of its hav- ing been a case of determined suicide. Tha unfortunate man had apparently beau hang- ing upwards of twenty-four hours, as his
limbs vsere perfectly rigid.-Bendigo Adver-
A MONSTEtt PBOM MIE Mt/£tEAï.-4 COd-fiäU. . weighing upwards of eighty pounds, was re- ceived on Thursday night at the Victorian Olub, to which it was presented by Messrs. Macord and Parker, of Sandhurst, Dr. Roche, »he Coroner, defrayingthe cost of ita trans- mission to this city. The monster arrived ia excellent condition, and was placed ou yester- day's bill of fare as a gratuitous dish-a regular/ita« de resistance-& giant so bulky aï almost to defy diminution by the assaults oE tho gastronomes. The quality of the fish w \% as unexceptionable as its quantity, its flavour; xestmbling that of turbot, and it furnished?
faro to an immense numbei of the freaueatersr
of the club.
SEMPSTRESSES' WAGES.-Some' statement« having been made by Mr. DOD, in his various! addresses to the electors, to the effect that sempstresses were working for miserably Beauty wages, in some cases as low as is, a
day, inqulr es were made, and it waa ascer tamed that the lowest rate of remuneration " to females engaged in that occupation is 15J per week" with board and lodging, and thai ft ranges from that to £S perweefc boorah»I

The busiest day of the year for fire and emergency crews is the Fourth of July and there are steps you can take to make sure you have a safe and fun holiday.
Derick Hall, Hazard's Deputy Fire Chief, says fireworks should be left to the professionals, but if you're going to use them do not experiment. Hall says homemade fireworks are very dangerous and can cause serious injuries.
"Anything from small burns up too amputations from the explosions of these fireworks, and then you also stand the chance of setting your house on fire. Simply because of the area that we're in, everything's really close related," Hall said.
Hall says use legal fireworks and light them on concrete away from brush and buildings.
For safety tips, guidelines, and a safety quiz for handling fireworks, go to the National Council of Fireworks at http://www.fireworksafety.com.

For anybody that didn't cop this when it dropped, this is mandatory viewing for any QB Rap fiends. Featuring Killa Sha, MC Tee, Blaq Poet, Capone, Havoc, Marley Marl and more.
I caught this at the cinema a couple of weeks ago. It's a good film for what it is, which is basically an excuse for Ice-T to demonstrate how many rappers used to love '6 'N The Morning' when they were kids, thereby demonstrating how ancient he actually is. That being said, the fact that dudes like Eminem and Dr. Dre were fans means that they offer more than the standard responses to herb-ass journalists. The DVD version features a tonne of interviews that were cut from the final version with dudes like Just-Ice, so that might be worth grabbing to get a little more of the insight from the lesser known players.
Sticking with the D.I.T.C. theme, here's the entire SBX! film for anybody who missed it this on DVD, courtesy of SpineTV and BBPBX:
Anyone with a passing knowledge of hardcore 80's rap should be familiar with Boston's TDS Mob and their classic 'Dope For The Folks' and 'Scratch Reaction'. Thanks to the Diggers With Grattitude crew, who previously brought us that incredible Juice Crew EP amongst other things, you can now pre-order any or all of these new TDS Mob releases. Details below:
^ This dame is the only thing you'll remember from this film.
What do you do when you're a bored millionaire who isn't selling records like you used to and has to resort to cheap stunts to keep his name in the news? You make another shitty movie, that's what. Unlike 8 Mile Part 2 Get Rich Or Die Trying, where 50 Cent was able to convince Oscar winning director Jim Sheridan to try and deliver something beyond the typical 'hood' movie, this time around he's gone back to basics. That's right, your boy Curtis Jackson wrote, directed and starred in this future classic of modern cinema…
So you saw this a while back and thought, "Why should I give these humps money when I can watch it all on the interwebs?" Fair question. It just so happens that my copy arrived today so allow me to guide you through the HD experience, episode-by-episode, in all it's glory via my all-new, 2009 edition WIN/LOSS review system.
Win: I can now clearly make-out the use by 11/20/05 stamp on the Lay Linda Original Iced Honey Bun on this HD edition. Eff you, YouTube!
Loss: I saw a close-up of Rafi's teeth. Are those poppy seeds?
Dallas: *Holding st. Ides 40* "This will have you ready to smack your mama"
Rafi: "That's the main objective!"
At long last, all your non-Internets using associates, well-wishers and acquaintances can enjoy the exploits of New York's most celebrated basement dweller's in HD (Husky Definition). Go here to cop and enjoy Rafi and Dallas' exploits involving pee, swine-based snack foods, cereal, check-cashing spots and more on DVD (Batamax copies available on request).

Even though Volume 1 was never officially issued, King Of The Beats was an interesting experiment involving a simple challenge – each crew was given 20 quid to buy records and make a beat, all in the space of a single day. Part 2 features producers from the UK, US and Australia taking-up the same beat challenge, as they film the whole process and provide running commentary on their progress. If you've ever made beats yourself then this whole process will be familiar – if not it should be a bit of an eye opener as to how much work is involved – but it's all entertaining stuff regardless (eccentric record shop owners and all). I was initially thrown off by director Pritt Kalsi's split-screen style in the early sections, but it works effectively and makes it worth watching again to catch anything you might have missed in the first sitting. Definitely a nice change of pace to your standard hip-hop documentary – cop it.
Too cheap to buy music and can't be bothered waiting for the ten seconds at RapidShare? Start a blog and watch those free CDs roll in. You used to be able to sell them for beer money, but that's not as lucrative as it once was. Occasionally, they'll actually be worth listening to and/or keeping.
Payroll Records – The Master Catalogue
Nice collection of everything ever released on this small but notable indy label that ran from '88-'90. You'll know 'Droppin' It' and 'Versatility' off the bat, but there's more to the collection than just Bizzie Boys and Supreme DJ Nyborn. You even get all the instrumentals, dubs and accapellas on the second CD.
As is quickly becoming a habit around here, I've had this laying around for a couple of months already but I finally forced my self to watch it. Whoever designed the cover should slap them selves around for a minute or so, since having corny dudes like Lil "Big Man" Jon, Kanye Liberache and Lloyd "Brianna" Banks Photoshopped onto the cover was hardly encouraging me to throw this into the DVD player. Fact is, these humps hardly feature in this doco, and all the better for it.
If you can get past the "epic" narration, verbose explanations and pointless "3-D" computer graphics, this is actually
pretty decent half-decent. There are some quality moments with Kay Slay, Brucie-B and them, as well as some embarassing appearances from some guy with a bootleg CD store in his mother's basement who yells a lot (sounds like the formula for a star blogger), and everyone's favorite lip-gloss spokesman Sticknmove (star blogger? not so much), back before he discovered white sunglasses and a dental plan. Come to think of it, this is actually a fairly painful experience to sit through. You might want to wait until someone uploads the good parts to YouTube, since I'm fairly certain you'll learn nothing of any importance form this flick that you didn't already know, except for Dez's tips on catching a vic.
Try and sit through this preview and you'll have a glimpse into the pain I suffered so that you don't have to:
Since these two are about to "face-off" on the charts, it seems only right to dig out this old mixtazpe they did two years back:
I just got my hands on this new mix CD/DVD team-up between Curtis "Metro" Jackson and Kanye "Liberache" West, called Vogue Men Presents: Talking Fashion. Here's my exclusive, track-by-track review:
I've got to give it up to Beatdawg for tracking down some of the more obscure producers on this follow-up to his documentary from a few years back. Any flick that gives King of Chill, Easy LG and DJ Doc airtime alongside the traditional big names is doing something right. Having only seen a shitty bootleg VHS copy of the first installment (which had some hilarious quotes from Lord Finesse and weird footage of a sweat-drenched Diamond D), it's clear that Deep Crates 2 is a far more polished piece.
"The world is mine, yo!"
Ever since Master P found sucess with his straight-to-video flicks, the Rapsloitation genre has spread like wildfire. The basic formula involves watching Scarface a few times, writing a corny, updated version of the story and calling up a few rappers to make cameo's. Statistic meets all these criteria and then some, as the cover bills Mobb Deep, Redman and the Lost Boyz as starring. What this actually means is that Prodigy appears for about 10 seconds, Mr. Cheeks and 'em are in a scene, and Redman features as a semi-retarded gunman. (more…)
Retreading the familiar ground of an ex-con trying to walk the straight and narrow, the story of Shadow (Bokeem Woodbine) and Sharon (Deborah Cox) is part romantic drama, part Van Damme flick. Before the plot reaches it's predictable conclusion, the first three-quarters of the Blood of a Champion are pretty enjoyable, as the two leads keeps things moving with solid performances that exceed the low-budget feel of the sets and the supporting cast. Thanks to Shadow being one of the gulliest characters I've seen in a movie for a while, there are a number of highlights worth mentioning. (more…)
Remember after Cypress Hill first dropped, and suddenly every rap album had at least one song about weed? Many of them used the tired "Mary Jane" formula, while gimmicky groups such as Total Devestation went as far as basing their entire career on the sticky-icky. High Times magazine even did a "Weed & Hip Hop" issue with Redman, Diamond D, Gangstarr and Brand Nubian features, while KRS-One was responsible for the bizarre "I Can't Wake Up", where he dreams that he's a blunt being passed around from rapper to rapper. Strangely, High Times Records released the THC compilation almost ten years after the fad first started (possibly for those who missed out on the '90s), which returned to the overly-familiar groud of girls as a metaphor for weed ("My Favourite Ladies") and a bunch of songs about how awesome trees can be. (more…)
Ever wondered what AG kept in his fridge? "If you didn't know before then ya know now…."
Any DVD which includes grainy camcorder footage of the legendary Lord Finesse vs Percee-P face-off achieves instant "must own" status in my book. The main feature, however, plays second fiddle to this timeless slice of Pelon rap history, and is not quite as satisfying. SBX! (BBP, 2005) is a strange brew that is equal parts documentary and musical (?!), as Andre The Giant and the Ghetto Dwellers perform tracks from the soundtrack while going about their daily operations. In other words, it's a long-form music video. The acting recalls the amusingly amateurish performances in Wild Style, and basically follows the crew heading to a radio interview with rap brainiac/noted journalist Dave Thompkins. (more…)
Capturing this second annual free concert held in Toronto, Hip-Hop Peace and Unity Fest '04 makes for enjoyable viewing, thanks in no small part to the antics of the large crowd. The actual show is pretty decent as well, but the audience provide more than their fair share of memorable moments. (more…)

CEO's wife still in shock after robberyComment on this story
Johannesburg - The wife of Chrysler South Africa chief executive officer Trent Barcroft was still in shock after the two were shot at and robbed in Midrand, the company said on Wednesday.
"She was unharmed in the robbery... but she is still very shocked by the shooting," spokesman Richard Sloman said.
Trent and Cathy Barcroft, who are American citizens, were robbed of their cellphones, jewellery, and handbag in Waterfall Park, Midrand, on Tuesday.
Trent was shot in the abdomen. He is still in the intensive care unit at Sunninghill Hospital.
"He remains in ICU and is progressing well. He is expected to make a full recovery."
United States Embassy spokesman Jack Hilmer said they were aware of the shooting. They were however not authorised to comment because Trent is a private citizen.
A management division at the company was currently in charge of the day-to-day running of Chrysler SA until Trent recovered. - Sapa

|Analytic performance of the iQ200 automated urine microscopy analyzer and comparison with manual counts using Fuchs-Rosenthal cell chambers.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 15842056 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Automated instruments that can examine urine for cells and particles have reduced the need for labor-intensive manual microscopy. We evaluated the performance of the Iris iQ200 Automated Urine Microscopy Analyzer (Iris Diagnostics, Chatsworth, CA) and compared results with manual cell and particle counts using Fuchs-Rosenthal counting chambers. Within-run imprecision (coefficient of variation) of the iQ200 for urine samples ranged from 3.0% to 45% for RBC counts between 1,029 and 3 x 10(6) cells/L, 3.4% to 40% for WBC counts between 1,006 and 4 x 10(6) cells/L, and 8.9% to 35% for epithelial cell counts between 93 and 4 x 10(6) cells/L. Between-run imprecision was 3.3% at 1,017 x 10(6) cells/L and 19.2% at 28 x 10(6) cells/L. There was good agreement between the iQ200 and manual cell counts (r > or = 0.94); however; the iQ200 produced lower results based on slopes of 0.92 (RBC count), 0.81 (WBC count), and 0.94 (epithelial cell counts). The iQ200 has satisfactory performance and correlates well with manual cell counts. Most urine samples containing RBCs, WBCs, and epithelial cells can be reported without review of captured images.

Observations from the Cheap Seats
- There is little to be gained at the moment rehashing the 2214 different opinions uttered since Tuesday night at about 10:00 pm regarding the demise of the GOP and its prospective resurrection, but there is one stream of thought that needs to be immediately addressed, to wit: that somehow George Bush is to blame for Obama's 2012 election. Sorry, Laura, no sale. I will grant that there was Bush fatigue in 2008 and that certain GWB policy and governance decisions made it very difficult for any Republican to be elected in 2008. But, the relevance of such decisions in 2012? Marginal, at best. Such theory only holds water if we are willing to concede that it was GWB's economic decisions that were the principal reasons for the 2008 bubble burst – try as they might, the Obama campaign will never convince me of this point. It's flat out not true – the ground work for that recession was laid by the Community Reinvestment Act, Fannie Mae , Freddie Mac et al. We lost this election for a myriad of reasons – poor GOTV, a moderate nominee, a compliant media, government largesse which purchased votes or a dozen other reasons – but, we did not lose this election because of George W. Bush. If we hang our electoral future to that theory, we will be stuck in a rut perpetually shaped by our political opposition from which we will not easily escape.
- A troubling statistic from Tuesday night is that 3,000,000 Republicans stayed home — didn't vote. How is that possible in such an electorally charged year? Well, one place to look is ORCA, the Killer Fail.
- Don't expect big things out of this congressional Benghazi investigation, nor anything from this State Department investigation. PREDICTION: The first lemming to be sacrificed at the Fiscal Cliff will be the Benghazi investigation, courtesy of a Republican House which will be intimidated by an Obama compliant media. The MSM will gradually ramp up the pressure on the 'onerous Republicans who are focusing on a non-issue while the fate of our nation's economy hangs in the balance.' Our only hope for a full vetting of this issue is for Fox News, Breitbart, NewsMax or others to keep this on the front burner. I hope that I am proved wrong about our elected representatives – but I am not holding my breath. A real shame. These heroes and their families deserve so much better – and, no, Secretary Clinton, a $50.00 glass plaque in Ambassador Stevens' memory and a few kind and effusive words don't do it and don't excuse your astounding negligence.
- Elizabeth Warren was elected a U.S. Senator from the State of Massachusetts. Nothing can describe "this" other than the word, frightening. This is a U.S. Senator from Massachusetts – Daniel Webster is dying all over again.
- On November 1, 2012, five days before the presidential election, a U.S. drone is shot at by Iranian fighters, while over international waters, near Iran. The American people are not told that this attack – an ACT of WAR – occurred until November 8, 2012 — conveniently 2 days after the presidential election. Now, my favorite liberal Kirsten Powers was quick to point out that disclosure of this fact prior to the election would have had no effect on the election outcome. Really? If that's the case, then release the information when the ACT of WAR occurred or very shortly thereafter. The excuse for such delay was that this was classified information — well, so was the killing of Bin Laden and our esteemed president had no problem releasing that information in a late evening television statement to the nation about 23.4 minutes after the raid had been completed. No, this information wasn't released for three reasons, none of which relate to its confidential nature. First, Valerie Jarrett – in the worst kept secret this side of Tehran – is actively engaged in discussions with Iranian leadership regarding direct one on one talks – talks, by the way, which President Obama denied during recent debates. Second, the release of this information would contradict the Obama administration's downplaying of the threat that Iran poses to Israel, the US and the world economy – recall the chortling Joe Biden in his debate. And, third, disclosing this information would step on the positive polling news that the Obama campaign was garnering from Chris Christie's effusive praise of the president and his photo op stop in New Jersey a couple days earlier. That's why this information was not released – sorry, Kirsten.
- While on the topic of Chris Christie – enjoy your extended 15 minutes, Governor. Politics is hardball. You play it well. But, sometimes batters get hit and, while delayed, your hit will come in the form of a presidential campaign that doesn't get off the ground in 2016. People have long memories and your gratuitous luvfest with President Obama will not be quickly forgotten, nor forgiven.
- Obama's election and the expectant full implementation of Obamacare has led not less than 45 major US companies to announce immediate layoffs. So much for the state of our economy and the plight of the unemployed.
- In a prototypical cave from Republican leadership, Speaker Boehner has already announced that he doesn't plan any further congressional challenges to Obamacare. Yes, he's now backing off this statement. But, as urged elsewhere on this site, don't believe it. The only significant challenge left to Obamacare at this point (thank you, Chief Justice Roberts) will come from the states who refuse to implement the insurance exchanges. Conservative governors hold out our greatest hope that this government program will eventually implode from its own weight. Get to it, Governor Perry!!

County agriculture officials said Monday some farmers have harvested untreated fruit from their properties inside the Mediterranean fruit fly quarantine in Fallbrook, making it more difficult to contain the produce-threatening pest.
Since the quarantine was established in early November, inspectors have prevented farmers from moving a total of 247 boxes of untreated persimmons from three locations and ten 15-gallon buckets of untreated avocados from a grove, said county Agriculture Commissioner Bob Atkins.
Atkins said inspectors have also talked to several cherimoya growers who weren't aware of the quarantine.

"We found that the worse the disorder of autism, the worse the sleep disturbance. These children also had less deep sleep [or rapid eye movement]," said Sylvia Doo, who heads the Child Development and Assessment Centre at the private St Paul's Hospital in Causeway Bay.
Research conducted by Doo in 2006 revealed nearly 70percent of parents reported their autistic children had sleep problems.
The research, involving 193 patients, with the average age of three, found the most common problem was that an autistic child refused to sleep at bedtime.
Launched on June 1, the center aims to promote parenting skills to help children with all sorts of behavioral problems.
Doo said it is a "relatively new" center in that it provides a one-stop service from assessment to treatment.
Many parents suffer after a stressful day with youngsters who have to be given occupational and other forms of therapy.
"A lack of a good night's sleep can affect not only the child, but everyone in his or her family," Doo said.
Autistic children do not respond to stimuli such as day and night and follow their own patterns of behavior.
As such, these children have poor quality of sleep, waking frequently.
Autism, which is a developmental brain disorder, includes a wide range of symptoms such as difficulty in social communication, expressing emotions or obsessive behavior.
"The most important thing is to build a regular sleeping habit," said Doo, because sleeping problems lead to other problems during the day as well.
"They don't have the ideal amount of energy."
Doo said parents should establish strict and appropriate bedtime routines.
If the problem persists, they should seek medical help for their child.

The Lancaster Post 31 American Legion baseball junior team stayed alive in the double-elimination state tournament with an 8-5 win over Georgetown on Thursday morning.
The 14-7 Lancaster juniors opened the tournament in Marion, dropping a 5-1 loss to Beaufort on Wednesday afternoon.
Post 31's win Thursday moved it to a 4:30 p.m. clash today when it faces the winner of the Marion vs. York game played later Thursday. Marion is seeded second, while York, which finished fourth in League V, is seeded sixth.
At age 77, William Reid doesn't get around that well and prefers to ride his mower to the small garden beside his Culp Ferguson Road home.
Behind the mower is a small trailer loaded with hoes, clippers, rakes and a Garden Weasel cultivator.
However, those tools aren't getting much use this summer. The same goes for the almost-new garden tiller parked in Reid's shed.
It hasn't been cranked all year, which is expected, since Reid decided against using it.
In November 2008, I went to my family surgeon, Dr. Sunil Lalla, for my yearly check up. He asked me how long it had been since I had a colonoscopy and I told him that it had been two years. He said I needed one because of my age.
When my report came back showing that I had cancer and needed surgery, my family was told to accompany me to the doctor's office. When he told me that it was malignant and that I need to take chemotherapy, his nurse, Mandy Gooch, wrapped her arms around me and told me that things would go fine. She had some great words for me.
Jim Lineberger had just gotten a clean bill of health from his doctor Wednesday morning.
That was before a car ran a stop sign at Connor Street and Lineberger swerved his Ford pickup truck to avoid a crash on South Market Street.
Lineberger, who was headed south on South Market Street, crossed into the opposite lanes, traveled along the sidewalk and then hit a utility pole and six cars in Adam's Auto Sales used car lot.
The crash snapped the power pole in half.
Lineberger also hit a couple wooden poles in the car lot.
A Lancaster man charged in a fatal hit-and-run crash last summer apologized to the victim's family in court on Monday.
Marqevius Deandre Hood pleaded guilty Monday to reckless homicide and leaving the scene of an accident involving death. According to 6th Circuit Solicitor Doug Barfield, Hood was speeding away from Lancaster Police Department officers on Aug. 20, 2008, when he lost control of the Lincoln he was driving and rear-ended a motorcycle driven by John Haver, 68.
Lancaster County Council may decide the fate of the Pleasant Hill Volunteer Fire Department at its meeting Monday night.
The Lancaster County Fire Commission has recommended that the department be closed. The commission, made up of representatives from the 19 fire departments in the county, says the station is not in compliance with county standards.
But County Council has final say on whether to ax the department or not.
During its July 6 meeting, council spent more than two hours on the issue.
York played the spoiler for the Lancaster Post 31 junior American Legion baseball team at the state tournament in Marion on Friday afternoon.
Lancaster, facing its League V foe in an elimination game, saw Post 66 rally late to notch a 12-6 win and dash the P-31 juniors' postseason hopes.
P-31 starter Zack Rollings pitched well in posting four shutout innings with four strikeouts and two walks.
The Lancaster Dixie Boys 14-year-old all-stars stayed alive in the state tournament with an 8-3 win over Spartanburg on Monday night.
Jordan Brock was the winner in five innings of work, striking out seven. He allowed four walks, four hits and three runs. Tanner Gardner went two innings and struck out four. He gave up a hit.
Kendall Knight led the offense with two hits and drove in two runs. Drew Hopper had two hits. C.D. Pelham, Tripp Wright and Brock each had a hit.
Beaufort downed the Lancaster 14s, taking a 7-2 win on Sunday.
Children and teens are the main actors in a unique adaptation of "Treasure Island" hitting the Community Playhouse of Lancaster stage this weekend.
The play is an adaptation of the classic Robert Louis Stevenson novel about a young boy, Jim Hawkins, who finds a treasure map and makes a trip to Skeleton Island, meeting Long John Silver along the way.
Director Eric Grace created his own adaptation that uses a cast of 18 teens and children. He said he used a combination of different versions of the play to create his own.
I have struggled with how best to convey my regret in letting so many down, and in that regard I realize this op-ed does not do justice to the process of saying "I am sorry."
A handwritten note or phone call would ultimately be more appropriate, but given the number of people I need to apologize to I write this to begin the journey of trying to get things more right with you and others.

U-M quarterbacks Shane Morris, left, and Devin Gardner during the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl.
- Filed Under
As Michigan begins spring football practice today, running through the April 5 spring game at Michigan Stadium, the Wolverines have many unanswered questions. Most won't be settled this spring, but Free Press sports writer Mark Snyder points out five story lines to watch:
1The quarterback
It looks a lot different than many imagined in mid-November. Incumbent Devin Gardner will be limited by the toe injury he suffered against Ohio State and kept him from running for 2½ months. Sophomore Shane Morris, who barely played during the regular season but held his own in the bowl game, will get major ...

It's a generations-old puzzle without a solution.
And it just got a little more complicated.
Here's the problem: National and state regulations prohibit bearded firefighters from training because whiskers can prevent protective air masks from sealing tightly against the skin. Without training they cannot earn state certification.
The regulation hits home for a large portion of the Amish community - who are the backbone of many local volunteer fire companies - because religious custom dictates married men wear full beards.

I'm trying to set up a LAN with my son's discarded computers. One runs XP and the other Vista. They can detect the presence of each other, but won't let me access the other. The Vista tower is connected to a Netgear router by cable, and the XP system connects to the internet wirelessly with a Netgear adapter. Both systems can operate an HP printer wirelessly. I don't want to screw up what is already working. Both systems are in the same workgroup, but when I try to access one from the other, I get a message saying I need to see the administrator because I don't have the necessary access. (Unfortunately, I'm the defacto administrator)
The XP system has an Intel PRO/100 VE network connection that appears in the list of network devices, but it is not active because it is unplugged. Do I need to get an AP wireless adapter to connect to this local area connector to network my two systems, or can I set it up using the Netgear wireless adapter? When I try to set up a local network using the wizard, it tells me my local area connector is unplugged, and when I click on configure, I get a scary message telling me I have made changes that will be forever lost if I proceed. Did I already mention that I don't want to screw up what is currently working?
I don't really need to network my systems, but I am toying with the idea of learning how to do this so I can be a Computer Technician for the local school district, because they can't seem to hold on to qualified tech people. I figure if I can learn networking........but I don't want to create a big mess because I don't know enough about this stuff yet.
Can I set up a LAN using the same Netgear adapter that is being used to connect to the internet, or do I need to get an adapter for the Intel device?

Update! I was able to select ignore the Intel networking component and can now access the shared files from the Vista (what a confusing OS!) system, and will check on the XP system once the security scan I'm running has completed. It seems all I had to do was instruct XP to bypass the Intel network connector and use the wireless instead, then make sure sharing was enabled on both systems. The XP was prompting me for a password that doesn't exist to connect to the Vistq system, but that was before I had turned sharing on in the public folder of Vista. (Minor detail) Think I've almost got this!
I agree. Here's the link:

text: When it comes to purchasing a helmet, the amount of options can be somewhat intimidating. In today's market there are so many helmet types, choices, and brands; that if you aren't 100% sure about what you want, you could find yourself completely uncertain of which helmet would be right for you and your riding style. If this sounds like you, worry no further. In our latest video guides, Reuben has taken different types of helmets (Open Face Helmets, Full Face Helmets, Modular Helmets, Dual Sport Helmets, Shorty Helmets) and discussed their features, similarities, and differences. He also describes which helmet might suit a certain type of rider. We hope that after seeing these videos, you'll have a better idea for which type of helmet would be perfect for you.

School officials identified the victim as Maren Sanchez, a junior.
The 16-year-old male in police custody has not yet been identified. He could be arraigned Friday in Superior Court in Milford if he is charged.
Milford Now reported the incident could have been motivated by a junior prom rejection. At a press conference, police would not confirm that. Junior prom was scheduled for Friday night in Stratford, but has been postponed.
Police Chief Keith Mello said Sanchez was stabbed by a 16-year-old male in a first-floor hallway before first period Friday morning, at about 7:15 a.m., and she was transported to Bridgeport Hospital, with life-threatening wounds to her neck. Sanchez was pronounced dead at 7:43 a.m.
Mello said school staff members who came upon the incident and EMS performed lifesaving measures at the scene.
"This is terrifying," junior Skye Gero said. "Maren was so friendly and he [the suspect] liked her for a long time."
Gero said the suspect had asked Sanchez Thursday night to go to the prom with him and she said no.
"It is upsetting," Gero said. "I was just talking with her yesterday."
While Mello did not release the name of the suspect, he said the suspect was taken into custody by staff members moments after the incident and brought to the office where the school resource officer handcuffed the student.
Parents were alerted of the isolated incident between the two students and asked to come pick up their children since the students were released for early dismissal so police could investigate the incident. Students were dismissed at 9 a.m.
Students said they were told to avoid the hallway in which the stabbing occurred.
Christina DeCola, a sophomore, said students were told to remain in their classrooms and were sent to their second-period classes before they were told they were going to be dismissed.
Melanie Mandolfo, a sophomore, said no one had any idea what happened, although there were unconfirmed rumors.
"I wasn't nervous at school before, but now I am and will be looking behind my back," junior Candice Scrivines said.
Police officials are working with Board of Education officials as police continue to investigate the incident.
Superintendent Elizabeth Feser said counselors are on hand for students who are grieving or jolted by the incident.
"The greatest concern we have is ... students who are hurting will keep it inside," Feser said.
Her Facebook page is filled with photos of her smiling, with friends and playing paintball. In March, she posted a photo of herself in a teal prom dress with the caption "Yay so excited!!" with a smiley face to a Facebook group. A video posted to Youtube shows her singing "Home" by Philip Phillips, while playing a guitar.
"She was a vibrant contributor to the school community, and we will greatly mourn this loss," Feser said.
The high school's principal, Fran Thompson, informed parents of Sanchez's death in an email.
"Maren, a junior, was everything right with Jonathan Law," Thompson wrote. "An honor student, active member of our school community and incredible young woman, her time with us was much too short but her spirit will be with us forever. I ask you to please join me in praying for Maren, her friends, her family and all of our school community as we cope with this horrific event."
Friends quickly tweeted messages about Sanchez and remembrances of her.
The student newspaper at the school, The Advocate, tweeted that students should wear purple Monday to support Sanchez.
State Sen. Gayle Slossberg, D-Milford, said she has spoken with Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and he said the state is ready to provide whatever services it can.
The junior class was supposed to have their junior prom Friday night but, due to the incident, it has been postponed, Feser said.
Feser said there are no current plans for a vigil or memorial for Sanchez.
Police were still on the scene, investigating, as of Friday afternoon. Mello said they expect the school to be open for classes Monday.
"We are continuing to investigate so we can figure just why and how this happened," Mello said
