Criminal charges should be laid against Pike River Coal's managers and directors, some families of men killed in the explosion have said ahead of today's release of a potentially damning report expected to show profits were put before safety.
Recommendations from the royal commission of inquiry on the Pike River mining tragedy will be released this afternoon and are expected to include sweeping changes to the mine-safety regime and wider health and safety laws.
It is expected to be highly critical not just of mine management but also of slack laws and oversight. The report follows 10 weeks of public hearings over nine months and damning evidence of safety failures at the mine.
Carole Rose, mother of Pike River victim Stuart Mudge, said that with the inquiry complete, the families were hoping someone would be held culpable and manslaughter charges laid.
"Twenty-nine men died.
"We want to see charges . . . somebody is responsible for this."
The inquiry heard allegations of workplace bullying; a report showing gas levels spiked to explosive levels six times in five days, a month before the mine exploded; evidence from one former mining operator who left the company fearing the mine could explode at any moment; "impossible" workloads facing mines inspectors; a lack of enforcement action; plastic bags placed over gas sensors; a lax safety attitude encouraged by production bonuses; potentially flammable gas mixtures in an electrical substation; and safety systems inside the mine being bypassed.
Former mine manager Peter Whittall has pleaded not guilty to 12 charges laid under the Health and Safety in Employment Act.
In evidence to the inquiry, the "horrified" chairman of the Pike River Coal board, John Dow, said management - including former chief executive Gordon Ward and Whittall - had kept safety problems from the company's board.
Neville Rockhouse, a former safety manager at Pike River mine whose son, Ben, died in the explosion, was one of those who gave evidence against the company. He said the families had pushed for the commission to recommend a law change introducing corporate manslaughter to sheet home culpability in future accidents like Pike River.
"It's something they already have in Britain and Australia.
"It is something the Government seriously needs to consider - otherwise boards and executive management can make whatever decision they like and hide behind the company . . . It would draw a line in the sand."
But whatever the commission recommended, he expected the Government to act with urgency to implement any changes.
"They'd be bloody insane if they didn't . . . the bomb started ticking a long time ago for this particular mine when the Department of Labour didn't think the mining industry was worth an improved code of practice, when they disbanded the inspectorate and disbanded the mining act and its regulations."
The Pike River tragedy was described during the inquiry as "a homicide investigation of huge proportions", involving more than 200 witnesses being interviewed with another 170 still to be spoken to. A police spokesman said yesterday their investigation was ongoing and it was not known how long it would take.
The royal commission report comes as the families fly in international mining experts to help them in their bid to convince authorities that it is safe to stage a recovery of the bodies.
After promising the families he would do all he could to bring the bodies home, Prime Minister John Key has repeatedly told them the Government's experts think the mine is still too unsafe to enter.
The families will be handed copies of the report in Greymouth today but Mr Key has sent two senior ministers instead of fronting personally.
The report will also be released in Wellington and a spokesman for Mr Key said he would front a press conference to announce the response immediately after Cabinet considered the report.
The Pike River coalmine exploded on November 19, 2010, killing 29 men.
But for days New Zealand held out hope that they would be pulled out alive from the mine, deep in the Paparoa Range, 40 kilometres north of Greymouth.
Pike River Coal's chief executive at the time, Peter Whittall, told the media that the men could be sitting around an open pipe breathing fresh air while waiting for rescue.
But when the mine exploded a second time five days after the first, all hope of rescue was lost.
It was New Zealand's worst mining disaster in 96 years.
Prime Minister John Key promised everything would be done to bring the men home.
A royal commission was announced to establish what happened and why, plus how to avoid future tragedies.
Its three appointed commissioners were chairman Justice Graham Panckhurst, a West Coast-born senior High Court judge; Stewart Bell, Queensland's commissioner for mine safety and health; and David Henry, former commissioner of Inland Revenue and the Electoral Commission.
Ten weeks of public hearings spanned nine months, starting in July last year. They were divided into four phases, with 57 witnesses giving oral evidence and more than 200 others filing written submissions. The commissioners had to consider more than 70,000 pages of evidence.
Damning evidence of safety failures was presented and the Pike River mine was labelled an "accident waiting to happen".
The Labour Department, now part of the Business, Innovation and Employment Ministry, and the Government also came in for criticism for its weakened mining inspectorate and under-regulated laws.

We were pleasantly surprised upon arriving at The Comal Inn, as pictures just don't do it justice. The rooms were clean, organized, and came with plenty of snacks and towels and toiletries. Julie and Brent also were able to accommodate an early check in, which we greatly appreciated. The neighborhood is darling and it's a close walk to Schlitterbahn and the Comal River. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will stay again for all of our future trips to New Braunfels!

We stayed in the Texas Cottage and everything was great. The two bedrooms and two bathrooms were perfect for our group of mom and dad, 2 year old and grandma. The full kitchen was immaculate and contained everything we needed. Beds were comfortable and clean. We could have stayed for weeks; everything we needed was there. Breakfast from Naegelin's bakery and fresh fruit and juice made it convenient. We will definitely return!

When you pull up on the street and there are deer walking around in the neighborhood, you can tell it's going to be a pretty relaxed environment. And everything just got better from there. Attention to detail on the amenities and cleanliness. Just a block or so from all the downtown restaurants. And the Downeys are very gracious hosts. The only issue we had was that the router needed to be reset, and they took care of that right away. We will be staying here in our future visits to New Braunfels, and we will be looking forward to that visit soon..

We came to New Braunfels as a short get-away to meet some friends. Since we were only going to be in town one night, B&B options were limited. I was pleased to find that Comal Inn allowed for a single night's stay. Upon arriving, we were greeted with the grounds -- separate rooms with porches that have you feeling you are the only person there, a quaint garden with seats & a swing, a water feature, blooming flowers, and songbirds, and safe, off-street parking. We sat on the porch after arriving and were lucky enough to meet the owner, Julie & Brent. They are a delightful couple who live on-site. We enjoyed our conversation with them. Prior to arrival, I emailed Julie with some questions about dining in the area. She gave us several suggestions and we were pleased with her advice. The room in spacious, but gives you a comfortable, homey feel. The bed is super comfy! We did not require breakfast in the morning, but we had been supplied with coffee, tea, orange juice, yogurt, water, and ice. We will most assuredly return to the Comal Inn on our future trips to New Braunfels!

Thank you for your kind review! The Comal Inn is home away from home! Located in a quiet neighborhood, yet a short walking distance to all the popular attractions, downtown NB, the Comal River, Schlitterbahn, and a short 5 minute drive by car to Gruene. The Comal Inn is a place to come relax, refresh and rejuvenate on your very own private porch, in the garden area with blooming flowers, birds, squirrels, and deer roaming the neighborhood and the grounds. We hope you will be able to come back and visit us soon!

My girlfriends and I needed a night away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life (i.e. husbands, work, children, etc.) so we booked a room (Cypress Room) at The Comal Inn, and we could not have been happier with our choice. We could only get-away for one night but wanted to float the river, walk to grab a bite to eat and sit on a nice patio and The Comal Inn satisfied all of those needs. Even though we stayed for one night, Brent and Julie had fruit, yogurt, pastries and water waiting for us in the room fridge. Thank you for the wonderful, clean and comfortable accommodations. We look forward to seeing you soon!

With such a low price, I expected a lot less than my boyfriend and I received here. We were pleasantly surprised. The room was very clean and smelled wonderful. There was a great deal more privacy than I expected from the photos online. The day before Easter, we came back to the inn to find gourmet Easter-themed cookies at the door. Little touches like this made the stay even more special. The owners are a couple and live on site. The gentleman was very friendly and welcoming. The location is great- within walking distance of Schlitterbahn and many local restaurants, as well as a short drive from Gruene. Bonus: the tub in the Cypress Room has jacuzzi jets! ( Not in the description, as far as I know.) You won't be disappointed if you book with Comal Inn!

Clark and the Bandits struck their decisive charge in a four-run third inning that proved to be the difference early. Against Adelaide starter Dushan Ruzic, Brisbane sent eight men to the plate in their big dig with Brad Dutton driving home the night's first run on an RBI groundout to give his team a 1-0 lead. After an error by Bite shortstop Jeremy Cresswell kept the inning alive and brought home another Brisbane run, Clark singled to right with runners at second and third, scoring both and opening up a 4-0 Bandits lead.
Brisbane built the margin to 6-0 with two more RBI off the bat of Clark in the fifth. The catcher, who spent this season in Triple-A with the Kansas City Royals organisation in the States, drove a double to center, bringing in Hirotoshi Onaka and Josh Roberts to cap the Bandits' scoring. Ruzic (0-1) yielded all six runs, though just three went as earned, on five hits over five innings.
Staatz (1-2) earned his first victory of the season by pitching effectively through into the sixth, the last three full innings of his day with the lead. Brisbane's right-hander ran into trouble in his final frame, during which the first four Bite batters reached and Nathan Melendres scored on a Ethan Paquette single to get Adelaide onto the board. Staatz exited in favour of his bullpen, and though one more run went charged to his account in the inning to make it 6-1, Brisbane's relievers closed the door.
Steven Chambers (H, 1) and Rhys Niit combined to allow just one hit and no runs over the game's final four innings, combining to walk one and strike out one. On the Adelaide side, Indian-born left-handed reliever Rinku Singh continued his dominant start to the season, tossing two scoreless frames out of the bullpen to keep his ERA at a perfect 0.00 through three outings.
The Bandits turn to their 2012/13 ace Chris Smith in Friday's second game of this four-game set before a Saturday doubleheader. Smith (2-0, 0.69) will oppose Adelaide's Pittsburgh Pirates import Zac Fuesser who was brilliant in Round Three, tossing six scoreless innings at Melbourne in his first win of the year. First pitch for Friday night at Norwood Oval is set for 7pm CT.

Greatest Britsoul albums of the Decade So Far (2010-2016)
From Paloma Faith to Corinne Bailey Rae to Estelle to John Newman and lots more, my personal picks for the best popular Soul albums in the UK scene of the last six years.
10- Emeli Sandé - Our Version of Events
Delightful vocal chords, an outstanding voice, great instrumentations, and a marvelous lyrical content… Brilliant project!
Great moments: River/Next to Me
9- Estelle - All of Me
7/10 by Pitchfork and 3,5/5 by Rolling Stones, Estelle the proud graduate of the Lauryn Hill/Mary J. Blige school of warm, tough hip-hop R&B, delivers one of the sweetest and most pleasant music projects in a while. Gorgeous melodies, pound beats and many styles from reggae to boom-bap incorporated into her songs, without trying to create a weird hybrid sound.
Great moments: Thank You/Break My Heart/Found My Way…
8- Marsha Ambrosius - Late Nights & Early Mornings
If you're familiar with Aftermath Records albums, you surely heard of Marsha Ambrosius on some "The Game" song or even Dr. Dre's latest joint "Compton" singing the hook so gracefully and with an incomparable passion. Concerning her first full-length solo album "Late Nights & Early Mornings", she delivers a brilliant vocal performance with the appearance of established hip-hop producers such as "Just Blaze" and "Focus…" Marsha has that rare talent to channel true emotion through her voice.
Great moments: Hope She Cheats On You (With a Basketball Player)/Far Away.
7- John Newman – Tribute
You surely recognize John Newman by his smash hit "Love Me Again" which peaked at number one on the UK Singles Chart. This white dude has the main ingredients to make it big and push the genre forward; He's from Settle, heavily influenced by the Northern Soul and literally has a strong goat voice.
John never missed a chance to pay tribute to the originators, to the first idols as his debut album suggests. I mean what's better than producing a great body of work to do so? This project is a cohesive combination of the traditional Soul elements and the modern pop sounds (fast piano plays, heavy consistent drums…) in addition to his unique voice.
Great moments: Love Me Again/Cheating/All I Need Is You.
6- Corinne Bailey Rae - The Sea
"The Sea is a remarkable accomplishment. It's a step toward something, Rae's inner peace, and her next artistic breakthrough, that has its own considerable rewards" According to the Los Angeles album review. Now personally this album is for anyone who felt a great loss, this comes just at the right time to comfort, to share feelings of confusion, love, pain and anger.
Great moments: Paris Nights/New York Mornings/Closer/I'd Do It All Again.
5- Alice Russell - To Dust
Ahya had l'album s3iiiib am3elem and very slept on. I don't know If it's media's fault or the music industry's exclusion policy, but the artistic community is ignoring a god level talent over here. We're talking about a woman with the largest vocal range you'll ever hear. She switches the temper from 0 to 100 so effortlessly. People give check on her, check on this album you'll be surprised.
Great moments: I Loved You/Heartbreaker/To Dust.
4- Amy Winehouse - Lioness: Hidden Treasures
Bruh this is some tear bringing shit, a posthumous compilation album by the late great Amy Winehouse featuring several unreleased songs from the classic "Back to Black" with Salaam Remi and Mark Ronson on the production. A 45 minutes project, taking you into Amy's love and addiction struggle. The single "Body & Soul" with الفنان المقتدر Tony Bennett, is the type of song that a fancy restaurant would play if you were on a date with Ava Gardner. My other favorite song is "Like Smoke" featuring the legendary rapper Nas, and Lord the chemistry between these two… Anyway it worth every damn second.
Great moments: Between the Cheats/Body & Soul/Like Smoke/A Song for You.
3- Paloma Faith - A Perfect Contradiction
One of the best albums of 2014, as playing it you'll feel like walking between 40s until 90s decade.
There is not any filler on A Perfect Contradiction and it never manages to get boring (Paloma would never allow that). However, it does leave you expecting and wanting more from her. Her influences are perfectly pitched with a hint of exaggeration. I mean what's more pleasing than a white soul singer LP with a niggerish soul and back tattoos? We're glad to have this type of singer in the mainstream scene.
Great moments: Trouble with My Baby/Only Love Can Hurt Like This.
2- Plan B - The Defamation of Strickland Banks
What happens when a British rapper switches his style into a sweet-voiced soul boy? The result is the bad motherfucker "Strickland Banks" the main character of this concept album. The story is about a Soul singer who's sent to jail for somewhat accusation. NO SPOILERS, Get that shit as soon as you can.
On the musical level, the album is major contribution to the UK Soul scene and mostly associated with the syncopated beat and fast tempo of mid-1960s Motown Records. All of the tracks develop hypnotic grooves and explosive wall of instrumentations of guitars and drums and background vocals, horns and keys… The type of feels you get once at a James Brown late night concert.
Great moments: Stay Too Long/She Said/The Recluse/Darkest Place.

The Saint – Simon Dutton Telefilm DVD Set (1989/Umbrella Entertainment/Region Four/4/PAL)

The Saint, Simon Templar, is a forerunner of James Bond
and while the commercial and often critical peak of the character is often
considered the massively successful Roger Moore TV series (links below) of the
1960s, many actors have played the role, from several when RKO had their movie
series, to foreign actors to Ian Ogilvy in the underrated, short-lived late 1970s
series Return Of The Saint (reviewed
elsewhere on this site/link below) that did not survive behind the scenes
troubles beyond the show's control.
Since then, several revivals have been launched and none with any great
Besides a one shot hour-long U.S. pilot with Andrew Clarke
and Val Kilmer feature film that fizzled, the actor who managed to do better by
default was Simon Dutton, who logged up six TV movies (the ninth Saint) as the
Leslie Charteris hero. He was fair in
the role, but no matter what this series tried from guest stars to minimalism,
these films never worked. Gone were the care and production values Sir Lew
Grade was able top provide as the original producer of the Moore and Ogilvy
shows. Some fans of the book liked the
changes, but the films barely made a showing the U.S. and overseas had limited
success. Now, The Saint – Simon Dutton Telefilm DVD Set (1989) has been released
on DVD in Australia by Umbrella Entertainment after the successful launch of
the Ogilvy series a few years ago and we can take a closer look at what did and
did not work.
Dutton is
not a disaster as Templar and was not totally miscast, yet I felt he never
totally filled out the role despite the sense it made to some extent to cast
him. Of course, like George Lazenby as
James Bond, he could have grown into the role had he lasted long enough, but
playing his as older and grayer did not mesh.
Having him drive around in a Jensen Interceptor, produced by the company
that helped make Volvo's great P1800 speedster as driver by Moore in the 1960s
show. Add the fact that Dutton was named
after the character and that is just one too many in jokes and not enough up
front new ideas and energy. Energy is
something the show also lacked.
Then here
is the manner in which the shows are made.
They look more like detective shows for an older audience form their
credits to their pacing and in the tired tradition of one too many U.S. and
U.K. mystery shows, often flaunt guest star appearances that feel more like
desperation that surprise. The films are
as follows with the key guest stars noted:
The Brazilian
Connection (Gayle
Hunnicut, who appeared in the only two-parter Return Of The Saint show.)
The Big Bang (Morgan Brittany)
The Software Murders (Pamela Sue Martin (Nancy Drew) and Georgia Allen)
The Blue Dulac (John Astin)
Fear In Fun Park (Rebecca Gilling, Richard
Roxburgh, Anthony Wong)
Wrong Number (Vince Edwards)
reads more like a cast list for Murder,
She Wrote for the most part than the kind of action series previous Saint
series represented. I had seen some of
the telefilms after much effort to find them on U.S. TV and was not impressed
or found them particularly memorable. If
anything, I went into shock at the mistakes that were being made left and
right. Like the Clarke pilot and Kilmer
feature, the approach is all wrong and not faithful to the punch of the books
(I have actually read all 45+) or the best film versions. A new feature is being made for release soon
with James Purefoy taking over the role in a Roger Moore/Barry Levinson
production. Obviously, the makers of
this version wanted to have this out in advance so people could judge for
Some may
enjoy this take, but Dutton's version never seems totally witty, able-bodied,
worldly or as exceptionally competent as the character should be. Still, this may have a few fans, but in
remains more of a curio than anything else and as much as I wanted to like it
and it to work, the Simon Dutton Saint did not get better as the films went
along and the plug was finally pulled.
The 1.33
X 1 color PAL image look good for a show that was filmed then finished on
analog videotape as these copies apparently were with the aliasing errors and
issues of detail, depth, plus dull colors in places. That they do not look better than the copies
of the Return Of The Saint
episodes on DVD from the same company says that the company will need to redo
the transfers and then some when Blu-ray versions roll around. Finishing on video was not an option that
worked at the time Return Of The Saint
was made, but sadly was when these were produce. The Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono also sounds good for its age
including the dialogue, but the new version of the theme is substandard and
forgettable, while the sound mixing in general has little character to speak
of. Shockingly, there are absolutely no
extras, despite all the Saint fans in Europe, et al, though there was no real
memorabilia connected to this version of the show either.

Did J.P. Morgan Build the Titanic to Kill Off the Competition and Form the Federal Reserve? The Coincidences Are Amazing.

dude this is the oldest conspiracy theory out that peeps will call u nuts for. I love rocking peoples world with the titanic theory. Lots of info on the net.
Look into the two ships Titanic and Britania, the Titanic's sister ship. Not only did they get rid of all those other pesky rich folk, but they also did an insurance scam switcheroo between the two ships, turning the damaged Britania into Titanic, then sinking her to claim the insurance.
Even the wreck when they found it had wierd bits that pointed to it being Britania and not Titanic.
The captain was a Jesuit apparently, was ordered to sink the ship.
Hell they pulled off 911 in modern times. Back then this would have been a cakewalk. I believe it all OP. So obvious. Well done, cant beleive it hasnt been discussed on GLP yet. Awesome...

It was about a decade ago that Georgia began receiving international media coverage with some regularity. It was a time of historical change, when the Soviet Union began giving caesarean birth to new states, eventually itself dying in childbirth. As Georgia's confinement was most difficult, the news items featuring its post-natal pains were especially depressing. Indeed, two inflamed ethnic conflicts and a bitter confrontation within Georgian society puzzled international audiences as to whether Georgia would pull through. Luckily, Georgia has survived the most dramatic times in its recent history, but it was an extremely complex geopolitical environment and historical legacy that had provoked inexperienced parvenu politicians of the early 1990s to make a series of costly mistakes, the results of which Georgia is still feeling. Ten years later, policy analysts and media commentators are still puzzled. Georgia still has a long way to go until it irreversibly secures peace and stability and evolves into a viable and prosperous state. For the moment, the most difficult question is whether Georgia has the vision and resources to attain this goal. It is an appropriate moment to take stock. Prerequisites for an Unfavorable Startup Over the past decade, Georgia has gone through rapid and profound change. Georgia has not only regained its independence; it has also set out on a path of transformation of the features of its society. Such profound changes were unavoidably accompanied by difficulties, the primary cause of which was a very disadvantageous starting position. A set of geographic, geopolitical, and historical preconditions, as well as the cultural characteristics of the Georgian nation, has greatly influenced the subsequent developments in the country: – Situated in a geographic buffer zone between Russia, Turkey, and Iran, Georgia has historically had to strike a careful balance in its external relations. In our time too, some regional powers consider control over Georgia as a prerequisite for domination in the South Caucasus and Central Asia.2 THE QUARTERLY JOURNAL – Over the past two centuries, the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union have contributed greatly to laying the foundation for current ethnic tensions in Georgia through deportations and resettlement of different ethnic groups, as well as artificially drawing and redrawing administrative boundaries. – The Soviet legacy is also a primary cause of the lack of a diversified economy that would better meet the needs of an independent country. Also, the Russian totalitarian legacy is, perhaps, the major impediment to progress towards market democracy. – Unlike some other countries in the region, Georgia lacks strategic natural resources that would enable it to earn hard currency through export. – Georgian national values, perceptions, and attitudes towards the outer world have traditionally been and still are partly subject to misinterpretation, leading to inadequate policy design.3
Archil Gegeshidze is a Senior Fellow, Georgian Foundation for Strategic and International Studies.
Russia considers Georgia, first and foremost, as a safety valve that, if under control, would allow Russia to prevent penetration of Turkey's political influence into the North Caucasus, as well as further to the East into Central Asia. Also, control over Georgia provides leverage for Russia to rule out any possibility of future NATO expansion from Turkey into the Caspian Basin. Additionally, a subdued Georgia would ease Russia's goal of obstructing the progress of the East-West energy corridor, as well as hindering the entrance into the Caspian Basin of Western corporate interests. Turkey views Georgia as a gateway to the Caucasus and Central Asia as it aspires to build up trade with the countries in the region, while one of the driving forces of Iran's policy in the region is a perception of Georgia as a port-ofentry state of hostile U.S. influence.

This Real Housewives Reunion in the Hamptons Couldn't Be Made Possible Without the Power of Jill Zarin

Uhhh, yes, is this the police? We'd like to report a homicide, or maybe it's animal cruelty? Yes, the perp is Christina Aguilera and she cracked open Mickey Mouse's skull with her ta-tas. Yes, we said ta-tas. OK, we'll hold.
The ex-Mickey Mouse Club member flaunts her crime in Beverly Hills at the Samsung Galaxy Note II party—and we're not talking about her red-dipped tips, the leopard hat, or the bedazzled leggings she bought in a size "too tight." Though, those deserve separate and equal sentences as well.
Mickey, RIP, we'll always be loyal Mouseketeers!
