One of Stewartville's largest employers will have a new CEO at the helm.
Geotek, which makes fiberglass products for the electric utility and fence markets, has named Ben Wiltsie its new chief executive officer. Wiltsie will replace Dale Nordquist, who is stepping down after six years and will become chairman of the board.
Wiltsie, who was chosen after a comprehensive succession planning process and a yearlong search, will start work on Aug. 1. He previously served as the director of marketing and business Development for Winona-based RTP Co.
Nordquist will replace Pat Mitchell, who is retiring, as chairman of the board.
Geotek, which employs about 150 people, has more than doubled its facilities and increased its revenue by 120 percent during Nordquist's tenure as CEO.
It is considered the market leader in its niche of pultrusion fiberglass products for the electrical utilities and for agriculture fencing. The utilities industry's use of fiberglass arms over wood or metal is growing, and demand is expected to continue to grow.
The fiberglass product manufacturer built a new 41,674-square-foot facility next to its existing 54,000-square-foot plant in 2011.
In 2016, Geotek won the Best Place to Work Award from the Southeast Minnesota Workforce Development Board.
Conrad F. Fingerson and Amy L. Donahoe originally launched Geotek in 1991 in Rushford. They moved it to Stewartville in 1994. In 2009, they sold it to St. Cloud-based Granite Equity Partners.
In 2010, Norquist was brought on as president and CEO. He previously served in the same role for well-known southeastern Minnesota manufacturer Zareba Systems.
This is the second food truck/cart to lock down a brick and mortar home in Rochester in recent days.
Sometimes a dream becomes reality.
Earlier this year, Mario and Maria Mollina launched a taco truck on Rochester's North Broadway with their daughter, Jennifer Gordon. They call it Tacos El Sueno. El Sueno translates to The Dream.
Now the family is working to take their dream to the next level. They are opening a permanent Rochester restaurant called El Sueno Tacoreria at 1203 Seventh St. NW. That's across from the Northgate Center retail plaza.
"This has been my father's dream for a long time," said Gordon. "Hopefully, we'll open within a month or so."
The Tacos El Sueno truck now serves a basic array of tacos and burritos, but Gordon said that menu will expand significantly
"With the food truck, we're limited with what we can do. We'll be adding a lot more choices in the restaurant. My mother has a lot more homemade recipes," she said.
Once the restaurant opens, it will seat about 50 diners. The Molina family will staff it.
What will happen to their popular taco truck at 1005 N Broadway Ave. when the restaurant opens?
That's not clear yet, said Gordon. They really enjoy operating the truck, but the first priority will be staffing the restaurant. If they can't staff both, the truck will go dark until they can do both.
A high-profile member of Rochester's small food/drink cart community has lined up a permanent home.
Old Abe Coffee Co., which serves cold brew coffee and unique food, is a familiar sight in downtown Rochester. Now Abe Sauer is planning to set up shop in a fixed address near Rochester's Cooke Park. He eventually will move into a house-turned-commercial building at 832 Seventh St. NW. Westwood Realty last occupied that spot.
The new place will be called Old Abe at Cooke.
"I am very happy to announce Old Abe is playing fair and is now a property tax-paying Rochester business," stated Sauer via email. "Old Abe at Cooke will be an extension of what I have been doing on the trike. Fun and food and fun food (and our popular cold brew coffee). It will be goofy. Maybe a little unpredictable."
Beside serving coffee and food, he wants to create a bike-friendly, fun spot for families near a park and the growing Cooke Park arts district.
"I hope to create a social space for the neighborhood and Cooke Park users. Activating Cooke Park will be a goal as it's one of Rochester's best located parks, on the bike path, and canopied in shade," he wrote. "In particular, I want to create a place for young families that will, if all goes as planned, include a dedicated kids playroom so parents can enjoy their meal without fighting a toddler at the table. It will also include an expanded menu influenced by both my own vegetarian-leaning diet and my many years in Asia."
Sauer doesn't have a timeline for parking the cart and opening the new shop. The first step will be renovating the 1950s house with the help of Rochester architect Adam Ferrari of 9.Square. He estimates the earliest he'll be able to open is later this fall.
So why the decision to park his anachronistic coffee trike/cart?
"First and foremost, I needed space to grow. But also I want to create something distinctly geared for the thousands of younger families in Rochester that often get lost in the food and beverage landscape. I also want to create a fun space for Rochester residents that are NOT focused solely on the downtown and immediate area," said Sauer.
Following Wednesday's announcement about the delay in the financing for the now-$145 million Broadway at Center project, I decided to look at back an earlier version of that project rolled out by Titan Development and Investments in 2013.
Here's an article I filed on May 31, 2013 with an assist from Managing Editor Jay Furst. The rendering is of the version of Broadway at Center introduced at Titan's press conference:
Just a week after Mayo's Destination Medical Center plan was approved by the state, a Rochester developer announced plans today for a 25-story tower at the corner of South Broadway and East Center Street.
The Broadway at Center mixed-use project, proposed by Andy Chafoulias' Titan Development and Investments, would have about 30,000 square feet of Class A office space, a 150-room four-star hotel, 150 market-rent apartments, a "high-end grocery" and a Minnesota-branded steakhouse, among other attractions.
The announcement was made at a news conference this morning at Titan's offices in the Minnesota Biobusiness Center. Chafoulias didn't attend; the announcement was made by John Beltz, vice president of brand revenue development.
Titan is "poised for some very significant growth and contributions to Rochester," Beltz said, citing the company's planned restaurant and entertainment complex three blocks south at the C.O. Brown building site and a seniors apartment project further north on Broadway.
No cost estimate was provided for the Broadway at Center tower, and Beltz said the tower could go higher as planning proceeds -- possibly topping the Broadway Residences and Suites tower next door, which is the tallest building in Rochester and southern Minnesota. As planned, the building would have about 300,000 square feet of space and would be connected to the skyway system and a planned city parking ramp on the block.
The new building would be on the northwest corner of the block bounded by South Broadway, East Center Street, First Street Southeast and First Avenue Southeast. The Broadway Residence and Suites tower is on the southwest corner, and the new project would be on the current site of CJ's Midtown Lounge, Jakobson Management Co. and Ginny's Fine Fabrics.
The goal is to have a "hole in the ground" and construction underway next year, Beltz said. He declined to identify the hotel, restaurant and retail tenants who are in discussions with Titan but said in a news release that they're "finalizing negotiations with several recognizable Minnesota brands."
Rochester's lack of a top-tier hotel brand was often cited during the DMC legislative process as something the city needs to attract national and international medical visitors.
The announcement signals Andy Chafoulias taking the wheel of a project envisioned by his father, Rochester developer Gus Chafoulias, in 2007. That proposal was for a two-tower mixed-use project with retail, apartments and office space as well as possible space for University of Minnesota Rochester.
As with the previous version, Rochester architect Hal Henderson of HGA Architects and Engineers would direct the project design. Darren Schlapkohl, Titan vice president of development and construction management, said the project has "been in design for some time and continues to evolve."
Mayo's DMC initiative, which was announced in January and won legislative approval less than two weeks ago, is "an excellent addition to the vision" for Rochester, Beltz said, but Henderson said the Broadway at Center project has been at an advanced stage for at least six months.
To unlock its potential, a Rochester company is planning to build a new facility to house its growing business.
Bowman's Door Solutions has submitted plans to the city to build a 15,600-square-foot facility at 1800 14th St. NW. The 2.3 acre parcel is on the open lot next to the Colonial Lanes bowling alley.
Controller Seth Brown explained the new facility will house Bowman's different businesses under one new umbrella company — BDS Contract Door & Hardware Co.
"We're opening an entirely new company," he said.
The new BDS facility will house the well-known Bowman's Safe and Lock locksmith business as well as a wholesale door equipment distributor operation and the commercial subcontractor arm of the company. The distributor part of the business sells equipment to other subcontractors, while the BDS subcontract teams bid on projects such as installing doors at schools or hotels.
The hope is to break ground on the site yet this summer and have it ready to open in early 2017. One big issue the new building will solve is warehouse storage.
"We're out of room where we're at," said Brown of Bowman's current home at 1219 Seventh St. NW.
The entire operation has 16 employees now, though that number is expected to grow after BDS settles into the future facility.
When looking for a place to build, they wanted to be near its longtime base on Seventh Street, so the spot by Colonial Lanes was a good fit. The location also will make BDS visible to drivers on US 52.
"No one is going to go through Rochester without seeing our building, one way or another," he said.
After decades in the shadow of Saint Marys Hospital on Rochester's Second Street, Charlie's Eatery & Pub is heading north this fall.
Charlie Brannon, who has owned the popular bar and grill since 1987, says he is signing a lease to take over space in the Elks Lodge No. 1091 at 1652 U.S. 52 North in the Hillcrest Shopping Center.
The plan is for Charlie's Eatery & Pub to move into the space currently occupied by Wong's Café as well as the Elks bar and dining room area. Wong's is moving out on July 27.
The Elks will retain use of the large space the service club uses on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays for popular bingo games.
Part of the forces driving this change is the membership and financial challenges that classic service clubs, such as the Elks, are facing these days. This deal allowed the Rochester lodge to sign a new five-year lease with the owners of the Hillcrest Shopping Center, according to the Elks latest newsletter.
"This was a very tough decision as they (Wong's Café) have been a very wonderful and loyal tenant, but our Lodge would cease to exist if we didn't make changes immediately to cover the costs of our building," wrote current Exalted Ruler Jim Holman in a letter to the lodge.
While the lodge will not control the bar as in the past, Brannon plans to offer discounts and specials for Elk members.
"I've been an Elk member for 25 years. The lodge is important to me," Brannon said. "We'll still take care of them. With the larger kitchen space, I think we'll be able to expand our menu some there."
After Wong's moves out, that will clear the way for renovation for the new Charlie's.
Brannon says he needs to be out of the Brentwood on 2nd Hotel at 1406 Second St. SW by the end of August. The hotel is slated to be demolished to make way for a proposed $100 million,13-story development. It's unclear if other commercial tenants such as City Market, A Shared Smile and the Healing Touch Spa also will be leaving then.
Bingo is proving to be a bright spot for the Elks in the midst of difficult times. The lodge has hosted charitable bingo games in its previous Rochester home, but they stopped when the Elks moved into Hillcrest in 2006. Then in 2014, the Rochester Senior Center moved its Flamingo Bingo operation into the Elks lodge.
The Senior Center closed up shop in December 2014, but the Elks launched their own bingo hall last summer. It has proven to be popular and has helped stabilize the lodge's finances.
A Rochester medical analytics firm is expanding its reach with new products and a new name.
Transfuse Solutions Inc., known for analytical software focuses on blood transfusions, recently changed its name to Apri Health Inc., said co-founder and retired Mayo Clinic physician Dr. Mark Ereth.
"Since we're expanding far beyond blood, we thought it was appropriate for a name change," he said this week.
Ereth and Jamison Feramisco founded Transfuse in 2013 in the Mayo Clinic Business Accelerator in downtown Rochester. It launched with data tools to evaluate the necessity of blood transfusions. Ereth said nearly half of transfusions are unnecessary and just add to the cost of health care.
In the past months, the firm has looked beyond transfusions to introduce new data products to analyze lab tests, diagnostic radiology and overall cost of care.
Apri, which has 12 to 17 employees, works directly with hospitals and small to medium health-care systems.
"A third of every health-care dollar is spent on overutilization and waste," Ereth said. "That's almost a trillion dollars a year. We're tackling that over utilization that doesn't provide patient benefits and that only costs the health-care system dollars."
His firm's data analysis is aimed at finding and eliminating that waste.
"The bottom line is patients get better care with less intrusive treatment and hospitals spend less on unnecessary activity. That all drives better value for patients," he said.
While Apri has employees in Silicon Valley and Dallas, Texas, the firm is rooted in Rochester. Rochester Area Economic Development Inc. helped launch it in the Mayo Clinic Business Accelerator in the Minnesota Biobusiness Center.
The firm licenses some intellectual property from Mayo Clinic for its educational software, though its core analytical systems were developed by Apri.
It also works with another Mayo Clinic Business Accelerator tenant, Ambient Clinical Analytics. Ambient has a similar technical portfolio of data products focused on emergency and intensive care treatment.
It is led by CEO Al Berning, who previously led Pemstar, Hardcore Computing and other Rochester companies. Drew Flaada, a former RochesterIBM executive, serves as chief technology officer.
The failure of a pivotal trial of its heart failure cell therapy C-Cure, erased 38% from the Belgian company's valuation this afternoon, an outcome that will make its search for a partner considerably harder.
Indeed, without a partner the project is effectively dead, as Celyad confirmed today that it would not conduct further clinical work alone.
The Chart-1 phase III study failed to show this: it recruited 271 patients with chronic advanced symptomatic heart failure, and compared C-Cure against sham treatment. The primary endpoint was a composite of mortality, morbidity, quality of life, six-minute-walk test and left ventricular structure and function at 39 weeks, and on this measure C-Cure patients failed to show any difference versus placebo.
All of which would have been disastrous if not for the presence of its fledgling immuno-oncology pipeline, which no doubt prevented an even bigger share price collapse.
Further data updates are expected in the coming months, and indeed this afternoon Celyad's chief executive, Christian Homsy, ended a conference call discussing the C-Cure results by flagging approaching good news in oncology. Given the relatively small amount paid to access this technology and the huge hopes for the adoptive T-cell space, investors could indeed soon forget the C-Cure failure.
It looks like Mayo Clinic is joining forces with a Pleasanton, Calif.-based (previously of Massachusetts) firm to bolster its genetic testing to predict the success of organ transplants.
Here's the vague description of the deal announced in a general press release this morning:
Transplant Genomics Inc. is collaborating with the Mayo Clinic Center for Individualized Medicine to develop, validate and commercialize diagnostic tests enabling personalized immunosuppression for solid organ transplant recipients. This multiyear collaboration includes an assessment of TGI's TruGraf test for renal transplant monitoring, a Mayo Clinic investment in TGI, and the co-development of new tests and technologies for additional targets, including exploratory studies in heart and liver transplantation.
This seems like this could be an interesting project. I wonder how long Mayo Clinic has been working with Transplant Genomics.
It also would be fascinating to know how much Mayo Clinic is investing in TGI as well as how long this "multiyear" deal is slated to last.

The Pi-Point Raspberry Pi Wireless Access Point
You will need:
A USB Wifi Dongle – mine was a ZyXEL Communications Corp. ZyAIR G-202 802.11bg
First install Raspbian from the Raspberry Pi site - http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads – at the time of writing the current version is 'Wheezy'.
Install the image to your SD card as explained here - http://elinux.org/RPi_Easy_SD_Card_Setup
Raspberry Pi 3 users connecting with wifi - you can connect to your network wirelessly by editing your /etc/network/interfaces and add these two lines under your wlan0 section:
Change your iface line from 'manual' to 'dhcp', too, then save the file and restart wlan0 with ifdown wlan0; ifup wlan0 this should get you connected.
Log in to your Pi – I did mine via SSH but no reason why you can't do it via a keyboard and screen if you have it connected that way. The default login is username 'pi' and password 'raspberry'. You'll be wanting to change these later for security. If not logging in via SSH make sure you have a network connection with internet access. If you're using SSH then you'll need to locate your Pi's IP address on your LAN using (on Linux systems, at least) sudo nmap -sP 192.168.0.0/24 you may need to install nmap with sudo apt-get install nmap) which will list all IP's on your network (if your network is 192.168.1.x then change the network range in the command to 192.168.1.0/24 and so on). You'll get a list along the lines of...
Nmap scan report for UNKNOWN (192.168.0.54)
Host is up (0.65s latency).
MAC Address: 00:24:2C:12:62:55 (Hon Hai Precision Ind. Co.)
Nmap scan report for UNKNOWN (192.168.0.55)
Host is up (0.23s latency).
MAC Address: B8:27:EB:9E:CA:4D (Raspberry Pi Foundation)
Nmap scan report for UNKNOWN (192.168.0.57)
Host is up (0.0036s latency).
MAC Address: 00:A0:DE:86:D3:6B (Yamaha)
In this case the Pi is at 192.168.0.55 so I'd login with ssh firstname.lastname@example.com.
Firstly run sudo raspi-config if you haven't yet, to setup your Pi (you'll likely want to at least change your memory split to 16) then reboot and set a root password using sudo passwd (or perhaps sudo -i if you don't want root to have a password) and enter a decent (i.e. not 'password'!) password for the root user. From this point on I'll assume you're logged in as root.
I prefer using aptitude for package installs and will be using it throughout this article – if you're happier using apt-get then you'll be wanting to alter some of the installation commands to suit. Install aptitude with apt-get install aptitude.
Bring your Pi up to date using aptitude update; aptitude safe-upgrade – this may take a little while and also depend on your internet connection speed.
You'll need to install a few packages:
aptitude install rfkill zd1211-firmware hostapd hostap-utils iw dnsmasq
These are:
rfkill – Wireless utility
zd1211-firmware – Software for dealing with zd1211-based Wireless hardware
hostapd – The hostap wireless access point daemon
hostap-utils – Tools that go with hostap
iw – Wireless config utility
dnsmasq – a DHCP and DNS utility
You may also want to add 'vim' to that list which is a nice nicer console editor than the default 'vi'.
The zd1211-firmware package is hardware-specific but is a very common implementation for wifi dongles. Your dongle will also need to support 'AP' mode which you can verify by typing iw list and under the 'Supported interface modes' you will hopefully see 'AP' listed along with others like 'managed' and 'monitor'. If not you're out of luck with your particular dongle.
Important note: In 2016 the Raspbian images seem to configure networking differently with dhcpcd overriding the network settings that are in the interfaces file. You will likely need to use a Raspbian image from 2015 for the below network config to work properly. A new config is being tested now and the documentation will be updated when it appears stable.
Your wireless interface must be set statically for hostap, edit your /etc/network/interfaces file to look like this (or copy and paste!):
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
Raspberry Pi 3 users - If you're wirelessly connected then after this point your wireless will disconnect. You can always try doing all these edits then rebooting to see if it comes back up as an AP or just switch to a wired connection instead. This worked for me first time and I could connect to email@example.com straight after rebooting.
Then restart your wireless interface using ifdown wlan0; ifup wlan0 which should hopefully go smoothly without errors. The address of 192.168.1.1 should not be the same as the network connected to eth0, my main LAN is 192.168.0.0/24 and the wireless interface should be a different network. This adds a simple layer of security in case you're configuring an open access point as I was and allows you to firewall one network from the other far more easily.
Now to configure hostap. Edit /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf (it may not already exist but this will create it, anyway) to look like this:
The settings are pretty obvious, 'driver' being the only exception, just leave it as it is but change the other values as you see fit though these should do for an initial test. One thing to bear in mind is that hostap seems to be very literal about reading its configuration file so make sure you have no trailing spaces on the end of any lines! Restart the hostapd service with service hostapd restart. All being well you should now see 'test' as a wireless network now though a little more work needs to be done to connect to it yet.
Note (thanks to user 'wiak' for this):
Hello Guys, You need
You might want to add
The final step is to configure dnsmasq so you can obtain an IP address from your new Pi-Point. Edit your /etc/dnsmasq.conf file to look like this:
# Never forward plain names (without a dot or domain part)
# Only listen for DHCP on wlan0
# create a domain if you want, comment it out otherwise
# Create a dhcp range on your /24 wlan0 network with 12 hour lease time
# Send an empty WPAD option. This may be REQUIRED to get windows 7 to behave.
Remember to change the dhcp-range option for the network IP range you're using. If you're having problems with Windows7 machines then try uncommenting the last line. Restart dnsmasq by typing service dnsmasq restart for the configuration to take effect. Now you should be able to connect to your new Pi-Point and get a proper IP address from it.
Now your Pi-Point is up and running there's a few things to take care of. You'll probably have noticed that you can't load Google or anything else. That's because although you can connect to the Pi-Point and get an IP address from it, it's not yet routing your requests across your network and out onto the internet. We'll address this next.
The first thing you need to do is to allow forwarding in the Pi-Point, this is achieved by issuing the command echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward to turn forwarding on. Now your Pi-Point is forwarding packets you need it to provide NAT between your wifi network and your main network which is attached to the internet. Use the command iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE to achieve this. N.B. you can also set the ip_forward value as a one-off in /etc/sysctl.conf by uncommenting the appropriate line which is probably makes more sense for this purpose. Thanks to FrancisTurner for the tip.
You should now have a working Pi-Point which will allow user to connect wirelessly and use the internet via your internet connection!
One final thing – to ensure your Pi-Point works from a reboot you'll need to create a run file to turn on forwarding, nat and run hostap at boot time. Create a file /etc/init.d/pipoint with these contents:
# Configure Wifi Access Point.
# Provides: WifiAP
# Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog $time
# Required-Stop: $remote_fs $syslog $time
# Should-Start: $network $named slapd autofs ypbind nscd nslcd
# Should-Stop: $network $named slapd autofs ypbind nscd nslcd
# Default-Start: 2
# Default-Stop:
# Short-Description: Wifi Access Point configuration
# Description: Sets forwarding, starts hostap, enables NAT in iptables
# turn on forwarding
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
# enable NAT
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE
# start the access point
hostapd -B /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
Next make the script executable with chmod +x /etc/init.d/pipoint and add the script to the startup sequence using update-rc.d pipoint start 99 2. This should ensure your Pi-Point should reboot as a functioning wifi access point.
Further things to try:

There's no holding back Kiwi pop stars Stan Walker and Ginny Blackmore.
And now the two chart-toppers have joined forces to record Holding You, a single Blackmore hopes will allow Walker to follow her to the big time in the United States.
Los Angeles-based Blackmore has written songs for superstars Christina Aguilera and Adam Lambert and made a dent in the US charts with her debut single Bones (a No 1 hit in New Zealand).
Walker has already sold more than 200,000 singles in this country.
Blackmore, who met Walker on the set of X-Factor last year, is signed to Sony Music New Zealand, which is releasing Holding You here on iTunes on Friday.
If Holding You does well in New Zealand, Blackmore is expected to release it in the US, which could open the door to Walker. He has already been name-checked to American audiences by Beyonce who was super-impressed when he opened for her Mrs Carter shows in Auckland last year.
"We have loads of mutual friends but had never met until that moment," Blackmore says of her X-Factor introduction to Walker.
"One day hangin' out, we casually mentioned doing a collaboration and both felt equally excited to set it up and make it happen! We have a lot of respect for each other, I love that man's voice!
"I had started writing Holding You by myself a month before I decided to take the idea to Stan, just in case he liked it. And he did! So we finished it together. It's a co-write."
After performing at the Parachute music festival in January, the pair recorded Holding You before Blackmore headed back to the US.
A video for the single has already been shot and will be released within the next fortnight. A publicity photograph of the pair "holding on to each other" has already drawn envious comments from Walker's legions of Facebook fans.
"Strangely enough it was the part we were most comfortable with," Blackmore says. "We're both super romantic people so it was really fun to act out. Although, I've never been that close to a guy I am just friends with, so after every take I kind of had to crack up and shake it off before the next round."
Walker displayed a chest tattoo during a break in filming the video for Holding You.
Walker and Blackmore spent almost 16 hours on the set and forfeited their lunch break for photographer Bas van Est, who snapped publicity shots of the pair.
They pulled their hoodies down below their shoulders, revealing Walker's inspirational artwork. The chest tattoo is a verse from Jeremiah in the Old Testament: "Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you the great and mighty things, which you do not know."

Choosing the right cloud for your workloads is a balancing act that can cost your organization time, money and aggravation - unless you get it right the first time. Economics, speed, performance, accessibility, administrative needs and security all play a vital role in dictating your approach to the cloud. Without knowing the right questions to ask, you could wind up paying for capacity you'll never need or underestimating the resources required to run your applications.

The South African police replaced the lead investigator in the Oscar Pistorius homicide case on Thursday after embarrassing revelations that he was facing seven charges of attempted murder himself.
The decision by the national police commissioner to remove the investigator, Detective Hilton Botha, was the latest in a series of abrupt twists and setbacks in the prosecution of Pistorius, the double amputee track star accused of murdering his girlfriend. It caused a further delay in the defendant's hearing on his request to go free on bail in the case, which has riveted South Africa and much of the world.
The commissioner, Riah Phiyega, said Detective Botha would be replaced by Lt Gen. Vinesh Moonoo, whom she described as the country's "top detective", Associated Press reported.
The attempted-murder charges hanging over Detective Botha only compounded questions about his work on the Pistorius case. Under cross-examination on Wednesday, he was forced to acknowledge sloppy police work and concede that he could not rule out Pistorius's version of events based on the existing evidence.
"The poor quality of evidence presented by chief investigating officer Botha exposed the disastrous shortcomings in the state's case," Pistorius's defence lawyer Barry Roux said Thursday.
The courtroom itself became part of the drama on Thursday when the magistrate hearing the case ordered a brief suspension because of an unexplained "threat to the court". The hearing was later adjourned until Friday.
A police brigadier, Neville Malila, said Detective Botha was set to appear in court in May on the attempted murder charges, stemming from an episode in October 2011 in which Botha and two other police officers fired at a minivan.
"Botha and two other policemen allegedly tried to stop a minibus taxi with seven people," Brigadier Malila said. "They fired shots." While the charges were initially dropped, "we were informed yesterday that the charges will be reinstated," he said. While the prosecution has accused Pistorius, 26, of premeditated murder, Pistorius has said he opened fire through a locked bathroom door thinking there was an intruder in his home, located in a gated community in Pretoria, and had no intention of killing his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, 29, a model and law school graduate.

Los Angeles - Paramount Pictures claimed top-dog status in Hollywood on Monday, saying its 16 releases grossed a record $5.17bn around the world, more than any other American studio.
In a statement, the Viacom unit said that after releasing 16 films this year, it had placed first in North American market share with $1.96bn, besides reaping a record $3.21bn overseas.
Its biggest money-spinner was director Michael Bay's toy-inspired sci-fi action flick Transformers: Dark of the Moon, the first Paramount release ever to gross more than $1bn worldwide.
Tom Cruise
Other top earners included Marvel Studio's Thor, which took in $181m domestically, and Brad Bird's Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol starring Tom Cruise, the most-seen film over Christmas and New Year's.
"As we prepare to celebrate Paramount's 100th year in 2012, we are all grateful to be part of this wonderful institution as it continues to prosper," said chairman and chief executive Brad Grey.
Topping the list of new films out of Paramount in 2012 are Marc Forster's World War Z, a zombie movie starring Brad Pitt, and Larry Charles' The Dictator, starring Sacha Baron Cohen of Borat fame.

Excellent 4.5 /5 from 383 reviews
Excellent hotel for anyone staying in Stratford: just a five-minute walk from the railway station and fifteen-minute walk to the theatre. The hotel has a beautiful mock-Tudor exterior set in lovely park grounds. Inside everything is modern with good-sized, comfortable rooms. WiFi is complimentary, and the connection is strong throughout hotel. Warning: Surprisingly for a modern hotel in a city that caters to visitors from all over the world, rooms have only UK-style electrical outlets. So remember to pack your adapter.
The stay did not occur. The hotel would not honor our prepaid reservation. We had chosen it for its convenient location. Instead, we were sent to a hotel in the countryside that was accessible only by taxis--we spent 24 pounds the first day on taxis. The hotel we were sent to was intended for conventions, not tourists to Stratford. Do not book any hotels that belong to this chain.
Excellent hotel with great location. Near to train station and walking distance to all attractions. Excellent breakfast and dining facilities. Staff very helpful and friendly.
great stay hotel a little tired bar prices to expensive
Easy to find, hotel and rooms in great condition, lovely grounds, close to everything in city center. Very nice breakfast. Will stay again.

The new home of
Carmarthenshire has natural scenic beauty, glorious long beaches, a fascinating history and is also home to the National Botanic Gardens of Wales, which could state its claim to be the 'Garden of Wales'. In fact this region has a blend of both great coastal and countryside locations that makes it the ideal place for a self-catering cottage holiday in wales.
The National Botanic Gardens of Wales has the largest single-span glasshouse in the world with an unrivalled collection of plants from across the world. If you're into gardening a trip to Aberglasney should also be on your agenda, here you can see perfectly restored 15th century gardens.
History plays a large part in the story of the region, so it almost goes without saying that ancient attractions are some of the biggest draws, for instance Carreg Cennen Castle which can be traced back to the 13th century. This romantic ruin offers a lovely walk up to its hillside location and amazing views. For more historical interest you could get along to the National Trust property at Dinefwr Castle and Park with its beautiful 12th century castle situated amongst a tranquil 800-acre park with wild deer and stunning flora and fauna.
For some gentle exercise visit the Millennium Coast Path, its 12 mile cycle way is perfect for family days out on the bike, with Pembrey Country Park at one end and the National Wetlands Centre at the other. Great views of the Burry estuary!
For more strenuous activity try walking Llyn Y Fan Fac, in the Black Mountains on the western edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park.
A great way to see the region is to hop onto the Heart of Wales Railway, which travels a route between Swansea and Shrewsbury. These steam locomotives travel through some of the most stunning scenery in Britain.
The Dylan Thomas Boathouse in Laugharne; the author's very own holiday cottage in Carmarthenshire offers incredible views over the Tâf Estuary, so it's not hard to see how Thomas could find so much inspiration from the area.
If we've whetted your appetite take a look at our selection of holiday cottages in Carmarthenshire.

Standing detached, Ty Hugh (Hugh's House) is a traditional 18th-century Welsh farmhouse, situated in the unspoilt Towy Valley. The cottage, including the incorporation of the old dairy, has been lovingly restored to provide every modern comfort, but retains much of its period character, with exposed stone walls, beams, antique furniture and elegant finishing touches. Lovers of nature will appreciate the fact that the property is bordered by a river where herons and otters are often seen. There are also 6 acres of natural grounds to enjoy, and from here you have a view of Paxton's Tower; a neo-gothic folly erected in honour of Lord Nelson. The cottage offers easy access to the A40 and all the fascinating places of interest nearby, such as The National Botanic Gardens of Wales, Aberglasney House and Gardens, Dinefwr Castle, Dolaucothi Gold Mines and Dryslwyn Castle to name but a few. The nearby picturesque market town of Llandeilo, adjacent to the westernmost point of the Brecon Beacons, is considered the 'jewel in the crown' of the Towy Valley, and offers an array of individual shops and restaurants. Wales' oldest town, Carmarthen, is 15 minutes away by car. Here you can visit the regular farmers' market and wander around the narrow streets. Just a few miles from Carmarthen you can take a ride on the Gwili Steam Railway. Carmarthenshire has some of the most unspoilt golden sandy beaches in Europe, including Cefn Sidan and Laugharne, which was one of Dylan Thomas's places of inspiration, and where his writing shed is open to the public. Carmarthenshire has it all, castles, gardens, beaches, unique towns, varied landscapes and an overwhelming choice of activities. After a busy day exploring you can come home and relax in comfort. Shop ½ mile, pub 2 miles.
