As Sur said, Mel, not having Hero Lab is fine. If one of your fellow players wants to build your .por, that'd be appreciated, but I was going to anyway. I just do that so I can quickly and easily review the crunch without having to do any math or heavy-lifting.
So I've reviewed Jen and Michael's characters - anyone else ready for me to take a gander at their profile and is anyone willing to create Mel's character in Hero Lab?
All right, folks. The party has been selected. As usual, there were some incredible submissions, making my decisions harder than they should have been.
The selected party is
Those selected can head on over to the Discussion Thread to check in and finalize their characters.
Thanks again to everyone who applied. See you all around the boards!
Happy gaming, all.
Hello, everyone and congratulations on being selected for this adventure. If you haven't already, please complete your character sheets using the character creation criteria below.
Character Creation Guidelines
If you use Hero Lab, I'd love it if you sent me your .por files. Just shoot me a PM with a link to download it (if you use Dropbox or a similar service) or for my email address.
Finally, please put the following in your character profile under the "Race" field: Race and Class (archetype if any) (Armor Class / Hit Points / Saving Throws / Initiative / Perception)
How We'll Play
I will roll initiative and use your passive perception for you when necessary. This speeds up the game considerably. If you wish to make an active perception check, please state so and roll the dice. If I don't want to use your roll, I will simply reject it.
As for handling initiative, to start, I'd like to just use individual initiative. If we find that the combat portions of the game are moving too slowly, we'll adjust.
When doing a skill check, go ahead and state what skill you're using and roll the dice. Again, I might reject your roll if it is unnecessary, but it speeds thing up if I don't have to ask for it.
Let me know if you have any questions and when your character sheet is ready for review.
I'm looking forward to getting started!
Ok, as I was going through the applications, I realized that we should ideally only have one trait for each player (I know it's not necessary, but with a party this small, there's no need for overlap). As such, I updated the list with everyone's traits. There aren't any real surprises - the traits fall pretty well along expected lines based on class. But since I did the work, I thought I'd go ahead and post the updated list.
Again - the deadline for applications is noon (CST) tomorrow.
The Applicants
Wow - I've started going through the applications and there are some strong characters here. As such, I see no need to drag out recruitment longer than necessary.
I will be closing recruitment in 24 hours and will hopefully have the party selected by the end of the day tomorrow. If you've expressed interest, you still have time to get your character submitted, but you'd better hurry!
Now - back to reviewing the submissions...
@Jens - I'll let you know once I start reviewing the backgrounds. I'm sure it's fine, though.
@Feral - I intend to.
Here's an updated list of applicants. NOTE: I realize that your character may not fit neatly into the boxes I've included here. I'm revising my note in the original post - I'm not as worried about a balanced party as I am an interesting one.
The Applicants
Glad to see some early interest - and thanks for the "welcomes back," friends!
@Maximillian Akorius - I wasn't planning on using the drawbacks system, but I don't know that I have a problem with it. Leave it for now.
The Applicants
Let me know if I missed anyone.
The Worldwound tore reality apart at the dawn of the Age of Lost Omens, murdering the nation of Sarkoris and unleashing a ravenous demonic horde upon the world. Only the quick action of several other nations of knights, barbarians, and heroes stemmed the demon army and contained it within lost Sarkoris, and for the next century, crusade after crusade tried to defeat the demons only to fail time and time again. Their greatest success, the line of magical artifacts known as wardstones that stand sentinel along the Worldwound's border, barely manages to contain the demons. So when one of the wardstones is sabotaged, a city falls and the demons within surge out in a massive assault like none before. Even before the Fifth Crusade has begun a city has fallen and some of the crusaders' greatest defenders and heroes are slain. Can anyone rise up against the demon host to prevent the armies of Deskari, the demon lord of the Locust Host, from swallowing the world?
As you've likely gathered, this is a recruitment thread for Paizo's newest AP, The Wrath of the Righteous.
Now, on to what matters.
Applying for the Game
Character Creation Guidelines:
1) 15-Point Buy, 1st Level (I know, a 15-point buy is tough. But I've come to love the challenge it creates.)
2) Core races are preferred, but Featured Races from the Advanced Race Guide will be considered if the back story is interesting and the crunch isn't too overpowered.
3) All Paizo-created classes are allowed. We will be playing with emerging firearms (if there is a gunslinger in the party).
4) Choose two traits. One must be a campaign trait. Keep in mind that your trait ties into your mythic background.
5) No evil alignments. If you've read the Player's Guide you already know this, but the AP is really designed for good-aligned heroes. Keep that in mind.
6) Max HP at first level
7) Max starting gold for your class
No 3pp material will be allowed. I apologize if that causes any character development issues.
Submit a Background: Why is your character in Kenabres? Are they from there or visiting? What are his/her driving goals? Keep your background tight and focused. You can tell the full story in-game if you're selected.
Miscellaneous Information:
I'm looking for 4 (maybe 5) players. Because of this small number, it's important to have all major roles filled - martial, arcane, divine and skills. If you want a better shot of getting picked, don't apply with a character that already has a lot of applicants in that role.
I'm looking for at least one post per weekday, more if possible. If you can't post, just let us know. During combat, if you go 24 hours without a post, your actions will be botted.
If you lower an ability score to 8, there will be possible mechanical & roleplaying consequences, and it should affect how you play your character. No score may be lower than 8 before racial adjustments.
Recruitment will be open until I feel like I have enough characters/players to choose from - I'm not certain when that will be, so get the apps in sooner, rather than later. I'll try to give everyone 24 hours notice before final submissions are due so folks have time to wrap things up.
I look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!
I'm starting the campaign with that module. Not exactly sure yet if I'll let the players choose which nation they'll side with or if I'll assign it - I prefer giving them the choice, but they'll have very little context for making it.
I'd rather not do Carrion Hill if I'm doing Shore to Sea (or vice versa, I suppose, if Carrion Hill is better).
Hey there, Paizo friends. I'm going to be running a game for my group and I'm thinking of starting with Fangwood Keep. I'd like to make the adventure run longer than a session or two, but I'm not sure where to take things after they rout the Keep.
I could go homebrew, obviously, but with my schedule, I'd prefer a pre-written module that I have to tweak only minimally.
So, I'm looking for tips and thoughts on what we should do next.
EDIT: I did think about running From Shore to Sea, but it'd be nice if there was a level-five component we could add in between Fangwood and Shore.
Hey guys - sorry to have gone dark.
My business was affected by Hurricane Sandy and today's the first day I've thought about logging in. I'm pretty sure most of you have moved on, but I wanted to let you know that I'm still alive, just a little waterlogged (figuratively speaking).
Hope to see you all around the boards again soon.

Noro's diplomacy check was sufficient. Also, untrained knowledge checks won't be successful, unless you're a bard.
Noro leads the way to the docks, nodding and speaking to a number of people she recognizes. She walks directly to an old ship. She looks around for a moment before spotting who she's looking for - a grizzled sailor missing an eye and ear. She speaks a few words and the man nods. A few words are exchanged and Noro returns to the group with the following information.
There's a rumor that that a pickup for a slave run has been scheduled for this very midnight at an old, boarded-up shoreline tavern. The tavern was once known as the Puffy Pelican - a faded painting of a fat pelican still graces the facade of the empty building, and the building's back features a half - collapsed wooden deck that hangs over the high-tide mark.
The woman hurries to follow you outside. "Yes. Yes I know where he is. There's an old, abandoned warehouse in Old Korvosa. I received a...message...my boy is in serious trouble."
She describes the warehouse and its location and thanks you profusely. She informs you that she will head directly to the Citadel to inform them of your mission and await news of your success.
Do any of you need to purchase or acquire anything before you go?"
Zograthy notices nothing. He is too offended by Arasmes' accusations. He says quickly, "Oh, so you knew all this before you entered my tent? Well, did you know that Natalya was, at least
Calming slightly, he smooths his robes before continuing. "There are so many names to name." He begins listing people that he personally knows - the names mean nothing to you. "The people of the streets whisper that the vanished folk are the victims of slavers who then
There is nothing of value in the tent. Everything is a cheap fake of a fancier object.
You've earned 600XP for successfully interrogating Zograthy.
"Gaedran and his thugs. Gaedran Lamm has my boy!"
You've all heard the name Gaedran Lamm, a despicable low-life who missed his chance at being somebody big in Korvosa's murky underworld. Well past his prime, the decrepit thief allegedly abducts orphans and forces them to support his despicable lifestyle with petty crime. Many of Korvosa's lower class have had dealings with Lamm, and even a few of the city's middle class and nobility have had their lives complicated by this foul old man. Yet no matter what he does, he always seems to slip away from the guards and avoid answering for his crimes.
Gaedran is a name you're especially familiar with. You've attempted to locate him over the past few months, as your investigations have often raised his name - perhaps not as a suspect, but as someone who might be able to divulge some information.
Your reveries are broken are broken by a commotion happening near the door. A number of heads have turned to see the new entrant, an attractive young woman. Her face is ashen and desperate. "Please - are there any guards here. Please! I need some help!" The gathered group parts and all heads turn towards your table. She pushes through the crowd and approaches your table.
Addressing Pai, she says, "Please...you have to help me. He has my son! Please! I can't bear to lose him!"
"But of course," the young woman says.
She bows her head, raises her arms and prepares to dance.
Suddenly, her head snaps up and she begins to sway and move to the rhythm of her finger cymbals. She moves forward and back, spinning in circles and stomping her feet. The movement is trance-like.
Perform: Percussion: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Her movement matches her beat flawlessly - she is very talented. The crowd enthusiastically begins clapping to encourages her. She does several more spins, bows and gestures to Edrebertil to take his turn.
Zograthy takes the coins and places them in his pocket pouch. HIs smile widens and he places his locked fingers under his chin. "Now, you wanted to know how to contact Natalya Vancaskerkin, yes? Unfortunately, I am of little assistance in that matter. Even her Scarzni associates are unable to locate her."
He senses that you're unsatisfied with this scant information so he adds, "Though I am uncertain where she has disappeared to, I have heard stories of many folks along the waterfront, both here in Beacon's Point and over in Dockway and Underbridge, who have been disappearing of late - a few each week, in fact, with many simply vanishing out of their very beds at night. I suspect that Natalya is among those who have disappeared in this manner." His voice adopts a slightly bitter tone as he continues. "As long as it's only poor Varisians and other destitute folk being targeted, the chances of the city doing anything about the disappearances are quite slim."
Angus received forgiveness from the Temple and was invited to return to their employ. Angus didn't want to leave you, but his love for the Inheritor and his frustration with the corruption of the guard witnessed on your initial patrols made the decision for him. Last you heard he had been sent to Magnimar for some secret mission.
You make your way to the nearby Aram's Crown tavern and find an unoccupied table among the crowd. A young woman approaches your table and asks what'd you like to order.

Who is still in their guards uniform?
I'm going to advance the game, but don't let that dissuade you from continuing your conversations or tattling on Verik - we'll address any actions necessary in the next post. I just want to keep things clicking along.
2nd of Gozran, 4708 AR
The matter of Pilts and the "dead king" passed relatively quietly. You were reprimanded and forbidden from interacting directly with Pilts or attending a show at his theater - not that you'd ever want to - but that was it.
The issue of the little boy, however, did not pass as quietly. The boy's family, refusing to be run over, accused Verik of blackmail, coercion and intimidation loudly and publicly. Their boy was quickly released from jail as witnesses came forward - many anonymous - to confirm the story. However, before Verik was removed from duty the charges were mysteriously dropped. The entire matter was dropped. Some of your fellow guardsmen claimed that Verik had a powerful patron pulling the strings for him, but most just assumed the family got what they wanted - their boy back - and chose not to push things further.
Some of the notable people you've previously met have changed positions. Goldfist retired from the guard amidst rumors that he had developed an addiction to Shiver. Verik has - against all odds - been promoted to Watch Sergeant responsible for North Point. Through his increase in rank, his desire to meddle in your affairs decreased, so you saw very little of him (mysteriously, none of you have ever been assigned to patrol North Point). Soldado, meanwhile, has maintained his post, but has grown increasingly despondent of late. Though rumors of alcohol abuse surround him, they aren't as persistent or damning as those of Goldfist. He's continued inducting new recruits (of which there have been very few), so much like Verik, you've seen very little of him.
Now that you're officially members of the guard, you have received a wage over the last 8 months - 20G/month. If you've lived at the Citadel, you've only faced minor expenses and have saved up 140G. If you've moved out, you have incurred whatever cost of living you've taken on (let me know if you need to know average costs per district). You may purchase any additional gear or equipment before we move on.
Additionally, you each receive a bonus based on your individual patrols/duties.
Pai - you've honed your interrogation skills: +2 Bluff/Diplomacy/Intimidate (must choose one before beginning the interrogation) when questioning a suspected criminal.
Andre - you've spent every waking hour not on the job looking for information about your wife's fate. You've also given up smoking. You gain a +2 bonus to resist fatigue. (Unfortunately, your investigations haven't gotten you very far to this point. Everything you're finding is leading you to believe that the murderer was a desperate drug addict who botched a robbery.)
The rest of you have gotten to know the people of the district you patrol. You gain a +2 sense motive check whenever dealing with the individuals in this district.
Today, in a random chance, all of your patrols end around the same time. You decide to meet up at Eodred's Square in Midland before heading to a tavern for a drink.
First to post, first to arrive. Again.
"Well, well, well! What have we here? The prodigal returns?" a female voice behind you says. "I don't suppose all that fancy learnin' taught you anything did it, Bert? Let's put those tests to the test!" Turning you see an attractive young Varisian woman cloaked in purple, orange and yellow scarves. "I'll wager a morning's worth of tips that I can earn more than you, Blackwillow."
You don't recognize her, but she clearly knows you.
"Who wants to see what our dear Blackwillow has learned at his fancy bard's college, shall we?" she asks loudly to the potato-watching crowd. There is a cheer of affirmation - the crowd is hungry for further entertainment. "You simply make your choice of who you prefer with your coin - winner take all," she explains. Turning back to you she says, "Shall we play, Bert?"
And the contest begins!
Totek: 43
Gorvi: 53
Ven Vinder: 46
The three of you tear into the potatoes. You struggle mightily to get the hang of transferring the slippery potatoes from the plate to your mouth, and you're never able to make up the ground. Moving into the second dish, no one looks as if they are going to slow down. Ven's lead widens, but his face begins turning bright red and he is sweating profusely. When tackling the third plate, Ven completely falters. He has lost all will to continue eating and simply sits there staring at the massive pile of potatoes remaining. You and Gorvi have no problem pressing on, but Gorvi, thanks to his lead on the first plate, manages to put away his last potato before you.
There is a loud cheer from the gathered crowd as Gorvi finishes. The woman who recruited you runs over and raises Gorvi's arm - another cheer goes up from the crowd. The man who announced the contest loudly says, "And we have a winner! Stand up if you can, Gorvi. You've earned our respect, a year's worth of meals from our fine dining establishment, Risa's Place and, as promised, a small prize of gold - you may want to save some of that for some medicine - we're not sure what will happen to someone who eats that many spicy taters…" He turns to Totek and Ven, saying, "And for you, our fierce competitors we have...nothing but our respect. Take it with our thanks."
You've not won, but you've increased your reputation in Sandpoint.
Lanalee claps in delight. "Oh, good. Come, my good fellow, leave these less-adventurous souls behind and let us test the limits of your fortitude!" She leads Totek a few paces to a large table. Two contestants are already seated - one is a large half-orc, the other a large man
Local to Sandpoint:
You recognize the half-orc as Gorvi, Sandpoint's dung sweeper. The man is Ven Vinder, the owner of the Sandpoint General Store.
Totek takes his place at the table. "Ladies and gentlemen! Gather round for the inaugural eating of the Potatoes - Sandpoint's first ever Spicy Potato Eating Contest!" booms a man, who looks very similar to the girl who recruited Totek. "Today, we have three fine combatants, each gifted in the gastric arts. The first is our beloved dungsweeper, Gorvi. The second, Ven Vinder, owner of the General Store. Finally, we have, well, a newcomer…Totek is it?"
There is a loud cheer and a growing crowd as the contestants are announced. Gorvi definitely earns the most applause.
"Alright fellas, let's see what you can do. You each have three plates of Risa's Place's finest spiced potatoes. Whoever finishes fastest wins the grand prize - free meals at Risa's for a year and a small prize of gold. But most of all, they will win the admiration of all who witness their victory."
"All right then - get ready…and…CONSUME!"
Ok, first, give me a Reflex check - you're going to be shoveling the potatoes into your mouth and this requires incredible coordination. Next, give me a Fort check. This is your second plate and your stomach is getting full - can you push through? Finally, give me a Will check. You're on the last plate and at this point it's more mind over matter.
"No...no...stay, please. No one else knows the city - or Vancaskerkin - as I. Please, surely we can come to a mutual agreement. You have the gift of a golden tongue - we could be great friends. I will give you my "friend" rate. How does 35 pieces of gold tickle your fancy?"
Arasmes and Volta:
It seems that he really does have information of value - but is unwilling to part with that information without receiving a fee.
"I am not disappointed in the least," Verik says. "Simply surprised. After proving to be so completely inept over the last couple of weeks, I didn't think you'd manage such an easy task."
After only a few more minutes, you find yourself at the local garrison. Verik takes the guardsman on duty aside and you're unable to hear what he is saying. Moments later, the man comes over and takes the boy from your care. He says quietly, so only you can hear, "The boy will be fine."
Feel free to continue any RP during this exchange, but I'm going to press ahead a bit.
The rest of the watch is completely uneventful and just as the sun begins to rise you make your way back to the Citadel. You don't see the other three, so they are either still out on their watch or have returned already.
You've heard the stories of ancient Thassilon and the various threats - giants included - that roamed freely. Most people dismiss them as merely fables, not historical threat. The major exception to that is Brodert Quink, Sandpoint's resident sage and historian. He claims to have have spent 2 decades of his youth studying with dwarven engineers at Janderhoff and 3 decades as a cataloger at the Founder's Archive in Magnimar - his obsession with ancient Thassilon, though, causes many to discount his theories.
"Well, what have we here?" a woman's voice says, interrupting your conversation. "Don't suppose any of you lot would care to participate in a little potato-eating contest, would ya'? We need a couple more contestants and you lot look like you could handle a bite or two." She eyes Totek in particular. [b]"A large gentleman such as yourself, why you'd have no trouble, I'm sure." She appears to just notice Edrebertil. "Well, well, well! Look who's home! Your mother was just in last night - she didn't mention you were on your way. Did ya' come home to surprise her for the festival?"
Local to Sandpoint:
You recognize the woman as Lanalee Magravi, proprietor at Risa's Place, a local tavern famous for its founder, Risa Magravi, an old, blind sorcerer, and its spicy potatoes and cider.

Sometimes technological progress is measured by subtraction, rather than addition. As robots become more sophisticated, one major milestone ahead is developing a robot that knows when it should subtract itself from a situation—a robot that knows, in other words, how to hide.
New Scientist reports on developments at Lockheed Martin, whose Advanced Technology Laboratories at Cherry Hill, NJ, are making advances in the field of "covert robotics." While we have task-oriented robots—robots that can dance, that can smile, that can assist in surgery—Lockheed Martin's ninja robots are more about being situationally aware. They have laser scanners to map their surroundings in 3-D, and they have robotic ears to hear footsteps, and even figure out which direction they're moving in. The robot, currently in prototype, can hide from sentries in known locations, strive to avoid sentries in unknown locations, avoid situations from which it can't escape, and avoid well-lit areas, according to lead engineer Brian Satterfield.
The robot isn't yet intelligent enough to have a full "theory of mind," or any deep sort of notion of another person's subjectivity. But it might get there in the future. "There are very few fundamental limits that would prevent robots from eventually conducting extended covert missions and evading detection by humans," Satterfield told New Scientist. There's considerable demand for this sort of robot; the U.S. Army announced its interest in a hiding robot for "persistent surveillance."
Lockheed Martin aren't the only ones in the this game. TiaLinx has a new surveillance robot that can scan across walls made of concrete, and detect human breathing. By sensing what the company called "biorhythmic patterns," it can even detect people who are standing perfectly still, CNet reported last month.
The new prototypes add fodder to the ongoing debate of whether it's a good or bad thing to teach robots to deceive.

GIBSONTON, Fla. – Danny Martin Jr. wired the field during Saturday's Eagle Jet Top Gun Sprint Car Series feature at East Bay Raceway Park.
Martin and series points leader Mark Ruel Jr. shared the front row for the feature. When the green waved it would be Martin. leading with Ruel right on his back bumper. The first caution of the race came on lap four as two cars tangled in turn one. On the restart it was still Martin leading with Ruel and A.J. Maddox.
Martin continued to lead the way when he started to come up on lap traffic by lap eight. Another caution came out as heat winner David Slawiak spun in turn two on lap 10. On the restart Martin still had Ruel behind him along with Maddox, Shane Kriedler and Johnny Gilbertson. Maddox took a hard left to the infield in turn two ending his night with a 16th-place finish.
Green waved again until D.J. Peeples brought out the red flag after hitting the back stretch wall and going for a slight tumble. Peeples was OK and the car had some minor damage. The final restart came on lap 13 it was Martin leading, making his way once again through lapped traffic and going on to win the feature.
"I would like to thank Shaw Racing for allowing to be behind the wheel as Shaw works on the car all week," Martin stated in Victory Lane.
Other East Bay winners Saturday included Jimmy Baker (V8 warriors), Buzzie Reutimann (open-wheel modifieds) and George Handy (4-cylinder bombers).

White Riot: The week Notting Hill exploded
With Carnival looming, here's an old article on how its 1959 forerunner was founded from the embers of racial violence by the Trinidadian activist Claudia Jones.
August 29, 2008, The Independent
As darkness fell and the Notting Hill Carnival drew to a close last Monday, Europe's largest street party descended into mayhem. For more than two hours a mob of around 40 young men fought running battles with police on the streets of west London. The roots of the violence may have been different, but the images of flying bricks and bottles, of broken glass and other debris, evoked memories of 50 years ago.
Back in August 1958, Notting Hill had been seething with violence all summer. Then, the west London neighbourhood was a place of grimy streets and decrepit, overcrowded tenements, a far cry from the chi-chi neighbourhood it is today. The Saturday before the area finally exploded, nine white youths had embarked on what one of them called a "nigger hunting expedition" around Notting Hill. They were armed with iron bars, blocks of wood, an air pistol and a knife. By the time they'd finished, five black men were in hospital, three in a grave condition...

Wild West
It's said that to understand one feud in Notting Dale, you have to know about the ten feuds before it. This is born out by the trail of violence that ended in the death of 21-year-old Billy Smith: shot in his back as he ran towards his aunt's house in Latimer Road, W10, on May 9, 1960.
Many of those interviewed by the police about Kelso's murder a year before were also questioned about Billy Smith 's death, and the links between the cases are explored in Murder in Notting Hill.
Billy's unofficial stepfather, Bill Cousins (below) was among those swept up in the violence that night. His name raises a smile among those still around to remember him.
A triumph for Investigative Journalism
The Sunday Times and its intrepid reporter Michael Gillard recently won an epic libel battle against the major East End criminal David Hunt. The paper's July 7 leader put the victory in context:
The death last month of that fine actor James Gandolfini brought into play yet again the myth that organised crime has a romantic face - that it is not an obscenely profitable blight on society but consists of ageing bruisers who are a danger only to themselves and each other. Mr Gandolfini's Tony Soprano bears some resemblance to David Hunt, who this newspaper unmasked as a powerful and feared criminal. He sued us for libel, but our verdict on his character was upheld last week. Like Mr Soprano, Mr Hunt lives in luxury and cares about his family. Unlike Mr Soprano, he has no need for drink, drugs or psychiatry to alleviate the stress of criminality. As a former associate put it: "He just created so much fear because he would do all his villainy sober."
Nor has he confined his violence to other criminals. Peter Wilson, a courageous reporter, told the libel trial that when he had the temerity to ask Mr Hunt about his alleged involvement in a double murder, "the speed and aggression of Mr Hunt was something that was quite bewildering ... He grabbed me by the lapels. He whacked me with his head straight into my orbit [eye socket], shook me round like a rag doll, swore at me and dropped me." When the libel trial began, the bodyguards protecting our witnesses withdrew after one day. Another renowned security firm refused to step into the breach. Such is the fear that Mr Hunt's name engenders.
Yet when seven years ago another courageous man, Detective Chief Inspector David McKelvey, set out to find evidence that would bring Mr Hunt to justice, he was warned off by his superiors. The target was "too dangerous", the detective was told, pursuing him would tie up resources, organised crime was not a policing priority in Newham, the east London borough that was Mr Hunt's centre of operations, street crime was more important. When the chief inspector persisted - having argued that "Hunt has evaded justice over many years by corrupting police and the judicial system" - his career in the force was destroyed.
Mr Hunt, in the judgment of Mr Justice Simon who tried his libel complaint, has been involved in fraud, prostitution, money laundering and "extreme violence". Previously confidential documents produced at the trial revealed that the police and other crime fighting agencies have been well aware of his activities for many years. Yet it has taken extremely brave witnesses, including a persistent investigative reporter, Michael Gillard, to bring these facts before the public.
It has been a high stakes legal battle. This newspaper has needed deep pockets to fill the vacuum left by those who should have taken on Mr Hunt long ago. We have not shied from the task, just as in the past we took on the distributors of thalidomide and the quartermaster general of the Provisional IRA. It is now time for others to take action.

RIP Professor John Makumbe
Photo: Monty Strikes, Harare, 2007
It's a far cry from Notting Hill, but the death of a remarkable man in Zimbabwe this week couldn't pass without comment. I was privileged to have met John Makumbe, aka the White Man from Buhera, and honoured to write an obituary for him:
Professor John Makumbe, who has died aged 63, overcame the stigma of albinism to become a fearless critic of Robert Mugabe and a key figure in Zimbabwe's civil society.
5:31PM GMT 29 Jan 2013
In May 2003 Zimbabwean police broke up a peaceful meeting of civic and religious leaders at a church in a Harare suburb, beating and arresting those present. One of them was the political science lecturer John Makumbe, who arrived late and was detained as he entered the building.
After three days in jail he was released, and the following morning attended a press conference. "Look at my face" he said cheerfully. It was bruised, battered and swollen. "I am a rainbow nation all in one. Black, white, yellow, red, purple. It is all here." The response was typical of a man who could find pithy humour in the most trying circumstances.
Throughout Zimbabwe's long fall into political turmoil, Makumbe remained one of President Mugabe's and the ruling Zanu-PF party's most eloquent and implacable foes. He was chairman of the local chapter of the anti-corruption organisation Transparency International and a founder of both the Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition and the National Constitutional Assembly, bodies campaigning for democracy and human rights in a land where they were vanishing fast.
Once, briefing a group of Peers during a visit to London, he invited them to visit Zimbabwe to see the situation for themselves. "Won't we be arrested or deported?" asked one of them. That was the point, Makumbe responded. Despite the risk to his own safety, he never sought sanctuary abroad. "I am a Zimbabwean," he said. "This is my home. This is where my family is. If I leave, there are still 12 million people here. What about them?"
John Mudiwa Washe Makumbe was born on May 6 1949 in rural Buhera, 140 miles south-east of Salisbury (now Harare), Southern Rhodesia. Seeing that he was an albino, the midwife tried to throttle him at birth, assuming, he later explained, that because of his pale skin his mother must have been having an affair with a white missionary.
Fortunately, his parents were free of the widespread prejudice that albinos were cursed and their condition infectious, and instilled in him the belief that — despite facing a life of being shunned — being an albino should never hold him back. "I had a tough time growing up," he told an interviewer. "I was insulted, harassed and tortured by my peers at school and during play. But I fought back. When I became a Christian in 1969 I began to forgive all those who tormented me because of my God-given condition."
When his future wife Virginia accepted his marriage proposal, her mother was initially so distressed that she threatened suicide, and approved of the marriage only after a year. But before she died, she told her son-in-law she was happy she had relented as he was such a valued member of the family. In 1996 Makumbe founded the Zimbabwe Albino Association (ZIMAS), which helped dispel the myths surrounding the condition in Zimbabwe.
By then, following time spent studying in Botswana, Birmingham and Tasmania (the last on a Commonwealth Scholarship), Makumbe was a well-established academic at the University of Zimbabwe and the author of numerous papers on governance and democracy. His initial hopes for Zanu-PF following Independence in 1980 had long been dashed, and he was an early dissenting voice against the regime, working with Margaret Dongo, a former guerrilla and Zanu-PF MP who ended up challenging the Mugabe government.
No matter how sensitive or controversial the story, Makumbe was never afraid to be quoted, but that was not enough for some. Two American television crews told Andrew Meldrum, a journalist then based in Harare, that Makumbe was too unattractive to appear on screen. "Can't you find somebody else who says the same things but is not so visually challenging for our viewers?" a correspondent asked the shocked Meldrum.
Last November Makumbe announced that he was taking a sabbatical from teaching to stand as a candidate in his home district of Buhera West for the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) in this year's parliamentary elections, and was working for the party as a constitutional adviser. "There are various ways of emancipating Zimbabwe from the tyrannical system of government we have endured under Zanu-PF," he told an interviewer. "You can either make noise from your white castle or you can put on your boots and overalls and fight for the emancipation of the country."
He is survived by his wife and their three children.
John Makumbe, born May 6 1949, died January 27 2013
Remembering Johnny Edge
Johnny's message to his friends on his 76th birthday
Johnny Edgecombe obituary
Keeler's ex-lover, he fired the shots that set off the Profumo affair
On a clear December morning in 1962, Johnny Edgecombe, who has died aged 77, fired six shots at the central London mews flat where his ex-lover Christine Keeler was staying. In doing so, he set off a chain of events that altered not just his life, but British history. The resulting Profumo affair heralded the fall of Harold Macmillan's Tory government, and with it a substantial erosion of the deference shown to the upper classes.
Edgecombe, a smalltime hustler and jazz promoter from Antigua, met the 20-year-old Keeler through a mutual friend in September 1962. They soon became lovers. Keeler had already had affairs with the war secretary, John Profumo, and the Russian naval attache and spy Yevgeny Ivanov, whom she had met through her mentor, the society osteopath Stephen Ward. She had recently also had an entanglement with another West Indian, Lucky Gordon, but was on the run from him after he had briefly held her captive. She enlisted Edgecombe for protection, and gave him a Luger pistol that she had acquired for the purpose.
When Edgecombe showed up in a taxi at Ward's flat at 17 Wimpole Mews in Marylebone, she refused to see him and threw a £1 note out of the window for the cab fare. After failing to shoulder-charge the door open, he fired five shots at the lock and a sixth at the wall above. Keeler told the police investigating the shooting about Profumo and Ivanov, and rumours were soon swirling among MPs and the press.
These intensified when she fled to Spain to avoid giving evidence at Edgecombe's Old Bailey trial, and on 15 March 1963 he was sentenced to seven years' imprisonment for possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life.
A week later Profumo denied in parliament any "impropriety whatever" in his relations with Keeler, but on 5 June he admitted lying and resigned. As the press revelled in wild tales of high-society scandal and political cover-ups, Edgecombe started serving a sentence that he always viewed as unjust. The idea of a black man sleeping with a white woman who was also sleeping with a government minister was too much for the times, he maintained.
Edgecombe was born the last of eight children to a seafaring family in St John's, Antigua. His father, who owned a two-mast schooner and had a woman in every port, would take him on his trips transporting gasoline to Trinidad, leaving him in a bar while he conducted his business. Johnny's sole ambition was to be a sailor like his dad, and when the latter disappeared to New York, he stowed away on a ship to try to join him, getting caught en route and locked up in the county jail in Galveston, Texas.
In 1949 Edgecombe arrived in Liverpool, carrying his belongings in a paper bag. He ended up in Tiger Bay, Cardiff, shooting craps on the street corner, mixing with hustlers and hookers. Moving to London, he survived by legal and illegal means: posing as an African prince in an expensive jewellers while his accomplices attempted to steal rings (he got caught, receiving three months in a young person's prison), operating a shebeen in a Notting Hill property owned by the slum landlord Peter Rachman, and driving stars such as Count Basie around in his "jazz mobile".
After he was released from prison for the shooting, he became a successful jazz promoter, running a club called Edges, and later worked as a television and film extra.
The Profumo affair shadowed him – as it did all the main protagonists – for the rest of his life, and he was unhappy with his portrayal in the 1989 film Scandal. In 2002 he wrote his own account of the affair, Black Scandal, and at the time of his death was trying to interest publishers in a fictionalised version of his hustling days, entitled Calypso Train.
After being diagnosed with lung cancer earlier this year, Edgecombe added another catchphrase to his already long list: "I want to get high till I die." In early August, he dragged himself from his hospital bed for a party in his honour, held by family and friends at a London pub. As the jazz ensemble played, he knocked back the Guinness, and he stayed till the end. The diversity in age, race and class of those present mirrored another of his mottoes: "I am not a black man. I am a man who is black."
He is survived by his daughters, Camilla and Yasmin from his former wife Vibeke Filtenborg, and Melody, from his former partner Jane Jones.

Ghosts of Notting Hill
Day by day and inch by inch, the old North Kensington disappears. On the Wornington Green estate, a couple of hundred yards from where Kelso Cochrane was murdered, the bulldozers and workmen have moved in. According to Catalyst Housing, the company behind the redevelopment:
"The next 8 years will see remarkable change at Wornington Green and the surrounding area with the build of the new development and new street patterning [sic]... An options appraisal carried out between 2001 and 2005 found that regeneration was the best way to address problems on the estate including high levels of both overcrowding and underoccupancy."
One local resident, Clare Slaney, makes an impassioned case - unlike Catalyst in plain, jargon-free English - against the transformation of her neighbourhood:
"For several years now, residents of the Wornington Green estate up the north end of the Lane have been fighting the 'redevelopment' of our homes, which translates as a doubling of the population on site with no additional bedrooms and absolutely no gardens for social tenants. Private investment homes will be built to part-fund the demolition of a stable and friendly community. Although existing tenants have been promised that we can move back onto the estate we've actually been offered relocations to Blackbird Leys estate, Reading and places just outside of RBKC [Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea] boundaries. It's as if Dame Shirley Porter never existed...
If you don't care about local peoples homes being demolished then you're not concerned about the antiques market being consigned to a sterile Disneyland. You won't find Portobello Road in Sloane Street. Markets exist where poor people exist because (another difficult concept coming up) markets and poor people depend on each other. When a large chain arrives it upsets the ecology, like building a road through the jungle. When social homes are demolished and replaced with expensive private houses it's like introducing cane toads to eradicate beetles that are getting in the way of profit: you end up with an invasive species and a pest.
...RBKC have whetted their appetite on social housing and are now including the market in their plans to create a monoculture. Moving social tenants outside borough boundaries suggests gerrymandering, an entirely illegal policy that is being repeated in Hammersmith and Fulham, Camden, across London. Loving the ambience and diversity of North Ken while taking no part in helping it remain a real place pretty much sums up the attitude of ninnies waxing lyrical over cuddly orangutans and tigers while buying hardwood furniture..."

Peter Rachman 50 years on
Shirley Green's definitive 1979 biography
After he died, the rumours grew ever more outlandish. They said that he had a penchant for watching naked lady wrestlers; that he wore hand-stitched crocodile shoes and white sharkskin suits; that he was obsessed with hygiene, demanding that his knives and forks be sterilised. It was even claimed that he had somehow faked his death, and that his purported corpse at Edgware Hospital was that of his 'twin brother'.
A recent Radio 4 documentary marking the 50th anniversary of Peter Rachman's passing on November 29, 1962, did well to strip away many of the myths surrounding the man who in the 1950s presided over a mini-empire of slum properties in Notting Hill.
While (understandably) relying fairly heavily on Shirley Green's definitive 1979 biography (Rachman, The Slum Landlord whose name became a byword for Evil) Joshua Levine's programme offered a fascinating and complex portrait of Rachman and the period, and had an impressive cast of interviewees - especially considering how few of the main characters are still alive - including Green, now living in France, Mandy Rice-Davies, former Rachman tenants, and Nicholas Van Hoogstraten.

Tom Vague, the area's unofficial historian, assisted the programme-makers with their research. Here's his primer on this slice of bygone Notting Hill:

Sound: Joe Satriani's usual great sound quality and clarity are present throughout this experimental and daring album. Leading into the 21st century, the general concensus was that popular music and virtuosic music could not mix. Joe shatters this conventional train of thought with his release of "Engines Of Creation." Purists would argue that it deviates too much from the shred genre that Joe helped promote and inspire. From an open-minded persective, the album features some classic Joe although there is definitely less of the high tempo soloing that Joe is known for. "Borg Sex" and "Flavor Crystal" are the definitive techno tracks that easily went commercial and mainstream (I can't remeber how many people have "Borg Sex" as their ringtone, yet can't name the artists). // 9
Lyrics: Lyrics? Satch almost never has lyrics as he is an instrumentalist. The variety in tone, timbre and melodic structure renders lyrics unnessesary for Joe. The songs of this album are feel-good and some tell stories through the mood of the music. // 9
Overall Impression: Absolutely love this album despite it's direction away from classic Satch. "Engines Of Creation" the track was one of the most unique and soothing tracks in the album while "Borg Sex" made me want to dance. This grammy-winner is eveyrthing you could want from Joe and a whole lot more. // 9
Sound: Not at all what I expected to come out of joe in this cd, however it does offer a whole new tone to his style. I was expecting to here some flashy harmonizes lines all floating on top of a nice chord progression, but in this there is a lot more techno thing stuff (specifically Borg Sex) which was actually ok. I think it took a lot of courage to put himself on the line to branch off like that and I believe that it payed off. // 9
Lyrics: As stated many times, Joe satriani is an instrumentalist, and uses his guitar to "sing" lyrics for him. // 9
Overall Impression: This entire record proves Joe's amazing versitality when it comes to music and shows how far he can really expand his writing. One of the most popular tunes, "Borg Sex" is more of a techno song, which is not a genre I typically get into, but regardless of that I can not point out a single "bad song" on the record at all. If you are really curious, go to his site and see if he has any track listings so you can make your call. Personally, I give Joe thumbs up for this record, it may not resemble past records as much, but I think that is the whole purpose of it. If it got stolen, I would find out who it was. Rip their heart out of their chest, and shove in their down their throat right before they died. But if I lost it, I would go buy a new one right away. // 9
Sound: After hearing a few songs by him on the computer I just had to get an album, so I did I chose this one. The sound is awesome his a great guitarist with a lot of different styles of playing. Also I must mention the drummer, he's very good and works well with the bands sound, so I've got to give the sound 5. // 10
Lyrics: The songs that I have listen too so far don't seem to have any lyrics, but man does his guitaring make up for that, his guitar and the way he plays it are the lyrics, its just great. Again its gonna be a 5 because of the guitar is the words singing, it's just awesome. // 10
Overall Impression: This is the only album I have brought but listening to the tracks I have on the album I will get another album. It's well worth the money. My Favorite two songs on the album are, Slow And Easy & Engines Of Creation. Good tracks them! I would deffinatly recommend it. // 10
Sound: Joe is not only a god-like guitar player and music expert, but also a genius of the recording studio. His uncanny ablity to mix tracks is staggering. The album is more centered around a techno theme, and quite frankly, two of it's most successful tracks are "Flavor Crystal" and "Borg Sex." Although we see much less of Joe's soloing frenzies, hie other talents in digital audio production and techno songwriting are really brought out. // 9
Lyrics: 99% of Joe's songs are instrumental and thus he has no "lyrics" here. He does put "voice" into his songs through solos and original riffs and licks. The fills and solos have a familiar overdrive tone, but it's unique and Joe manages to make is guitar "cry." He is simply lyrical in an instrumental sense. // 9
Overall Impression: A solid album that detours from Joe's routine solo playing. His exploration of music styles is commendable and this is one of those exploratory albums. // 9

Falling Waters residents dead after Md. accident
WILLIAMSPORT, Md. -Maryland State Police say a Falling Waters man and his wife were killed Tuesday following a fiery, three-vehicle accident on Interstate 81 near Williamsport, Md., that shut down the highway for several hours.
Meanwhile, another accident on Interstate 81 in Berkeley County involving five vehicles and a tractor-trailer sent at least one person to the hospital and brought traffic on the busy interstate to a further standstill.
The accident in Maryland resulted in all northbound lanes being shut down.
Police identified the victims as Joseph A. Digiovanni, 69, and his wife, 68-year-old Esther Digiovanni. Police say the couple, whose vehicle caught fire after the wreck, were killed on impact and were pronounced dead at the scene.
Just after 11:20 a.m.,, several 911 calls were received about a vehicle crash on I-81 North just south of Exit 2, with reports that one or more vehicles were on fire. Troopers and local fire and EMS departments, assisted by a sheriff's deputy, arrived on the scene within minutes and found two vehicles engulfed in fire.
One of the vehicles, a 2004 Jeep Liberty, had two occupants who were trapped in the vehicle. Fire crews aggressively attacked the fire, but the two occupants were found dead after the fire was extinguished, police said.
The accident investigation revealed that the Jeep was traveling in the left lane and quickly slowed down along with other traffic due to a backup related to road construction. The driver of a 2010 Ford F-350 pickup truck, identified by police as 28-year-old Joshua P. Largent, of Martinsburg, failed to notice the backed up traffic ahead, police said.
His truck crashed into the rear of the Jeep being driven by Joseph Digiovanni, police said.
The impact caused the Jeep to immediately erupt into flames and forced it into a guardrail along the center median. Largent's truck then struck the rear of a 1994 Chevrolet Blazer, driven by 48-year-old Eric F. Funk, of Hagerstown, Md., which was traveling slowly in the right lane. The impact forced the Blazer into several small trees along the right side of the roadway. The F-350 came to a rest near the Jeep, and the intense fire in the Jeep caused the pickup truck to also catch fire. The fire destroyed both vehicles.
Largent and Funk declined to be transported to the hospital. The deceased victims' bodies were taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore, Md.
The crash remains under investigation by the Maryland State Police and an accident reconstructionist from the State Police Crash Team. I-81 North was closed from the time of the crash until about 4 p.m., police said. Northbound traffic was detoured by volunteer fire police and State Highway Administration Personnel off the interstate at Exit 1 onto Governor Lane Boulevard, U.S. 11 and back onto I-81, police said.
In Berkeley County, traffic on I-81 North also came to a standstill after a multi-vehicle pileup. That accident involved a tractor-trailer and five other vehicles, according to Berkeley County 911 Central Dispatch.
The accident occurred shortly after 12:50 p.m. at the 20-mile marker of I-81 North. Traffic remained backed up for several hours after the wreck, but by late Tuesday afternoon dispatchers said traffic in the area of the 20-mile marker began to move more smoothly. However, traffic in the area of the 16-mile marker of I-81 North remained backed up as of about 4 p.m. Tuesday.
The accident remains under investigation by the West Virginia State Police.

Shattering Pixar's glass ceiling
The Columbus Dispatch - June 22, 2012 10:15 AM
Even those who love Pixar movies have to admit that it's a bit of a boys club. Woody and Buzz Lightyear. Nemo. Lightning McQueen and Mater.
Times have surely changed with Brave, the first Pixar film whose plot centers on a female character.
Set in Scotland, the leading lass is Merida, daughter of King Fergus. She is a skillful warrior hiding great archery skill behind her striking copper locks.
Dispatch critic Frank Gabrenya found much to like about Brave, including the way that Merida breaks the stereotype of an animated heroine.
"... Brave gives young girls a sterling role model who, for maybe the first time in cartoon-princess lore, neither longs for a prince nor gets one," Gabrenya said.
Those who prefer their doomsday scenarios with a sprinkle of good-natured romantic comedy may find something to their liking in Seeking a Friend for the End of the World.
Starring Steve Carell and Keira Knightley, the film combines seemingly contrary categories into a single successful package.
Dispatch critic Melissa Starker said, "Maintaining a feeling that anything can happen, and it could be bad, helps lubricate the shifts between genres."
She rated the movie three stars.
Fans of Wes Anderson will find the director up to his old tricks in Moonrise Kingdom.
Though the stars and setting are different, the theme of young love in Moonrise Kingdom and some of the actors (i.e. Jason Schwartzman) are pulled right out of Rushmore, Anderson's most famous work.
"The elements bring to Moonrise Kingdom the kind of joy and affection that a kid might feel after being let loose in a candy store," Starker said in her review. She rated the film three-and-one-half stars.

Back to school preparations winding down
Starting Sept. 2, Tana Arnott will no longer be making regular 100-kilometre round trip commutes from Moose Jaw to Rouleau. Drinking her coffee at work as opposed to on the highway is another bonus she is happy to embrace.
© Times-Herald photo by Nathan Liewicki
Amanda Leik, fills tinfoil bowls with oatmeal and cinnamon sticks in her pre-kindergarten classroom at Westmount School on Tuesday. Leik, 23, is one of a number of Moose Jaw-based teachers preparing for her first full-time year as a teacher.
After teaching at Rouleau School for the last six years, Arnott is making the switch to Peacock Collegiate for the 2014-15 school year, where she will be teaching Grade 9 English, as well as Grade 11 and 12 History.
As for the preparation work she has put into the new school year, Arnott told the Times-Herald Tuesday that the planning quadrant of teaching has been easier, but the assessment area will be more difficult.
"I'll definitely be doing more marking, but I won't be doing as much work planning my courses.
"Last year I taught about 10 courses and this year I'll be teaching three," she said. "Last year I had 45 students and this year I'm going to have 150."
Although Arnott admitted that the biggest transition for her will be "getting the lay of the land around Peacock" and finding her place.
Although the number of classes she will be teaching are significantly fewer in 2014-15, Arnott explained that she has done more preparation ahead of this year's first day of school than she's done in recent years.
"I usually go back the last two weeks in August just to get my feet wet, get organized with the outcomes and what my plan is for the students, and get the classroom welcoming," she said. "Definitely a few more days were put in this summer getting my classroom organized because of the move."
Unlike Arnott, who has been preparing "full throttle" since the start of August, Amanda Leik has been preparing for the upcoming school year at a different pace.
The fact that Leik, 23, will be teaching pre-kindergarten is one reason, as is the fact she will be starting her first permanent full-time teaching gig.
She interned teaching pre-kindergarten at Westmount School a couple of years ago, and covered a maternity leave last year, but she's ready to welcome 32 students – 16 in the morning and 16 in the afternoon – to school starting Tuesday.
Preparation-wise, Leik said the most difficult thing for her has been setting up her classroom, even though there are certain set up rules she abided by.
Her first day in the classroom was Aug. 5.
"Classroom setup is important and you want to invite play," she said. "You want them to be stimulated that way."
Without a defined curriculum, teaching simple life and social skills to pre-kindergarten students (ages three and four), Leik noted that choosing themes – the first one revolves around apples – and applying them throughout areas of the classroom was the easiest aspect of her preparation.
Having taught at Westmount previously has also made preparations easier for her
"You aren't that shy person trying to find your way around, so that has made a world of difference," she said.
Leik described teaching pre-kindergarten as a place where she feels "most at home;" that includes the messes that you are sure to ensue.
"I love messes," she said. "I love getting ooey-gooey and messy, so I'm prepared. But I don't know if my custodians are."

Says Quinn, "There is nothing that can compare to fall in the Berkshires! There are crunchy piles of colorful leaves to roll in, and the earthy scents of autumn are heady. Inside, Piper and I salivate over the apples baking in pies and cakes, French toasts and omelets. From experience, we can tell you that the pear cranapple crumble is worth waiting in the kitchen for a tasty morsel to find its way to the floor."
2-3 apples, sliced (leave peel on)
2-3 ripe pears, sliced (leave peel on)
1 cup cranberries (fresh or frozen)
1/4 to 1/2 cup liquid honey
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup quick oats
6 tablespoons butter
Fresh nutmeg
Preheat oven to 375F. Grease a 6-cup deep baking dish. Place apples, pears, and cranberries in the dish. Squeeze the lemon juice over the fruit. Drizzle honey over the fruit.
Combine the brown sugar, flour, and butter in a food processor. Spoon the mixture into a bowl and add the oats.
Spoon the topping over the fruit. Grate nutmeg on top of the topping. Bake for 45 minutes or until firm is tender but not mushy. Serve warm.
Serves 8.

In Craigholme School, there is excellent Additional Support Needs (ASN) support available from Nursery through to S6. Identifying a pupil's educational needs as early as possible is crucial for their learning development, which is why we have a dedicated ASN Early Years teacher working in our Nursery and Lower Junior School.
Our ASN support continues throughout our girls' education, and, in the Senior School, pupils are provided with a close network of support, with staff on hand throughout the school day.
Mrs M McColl, Additional Support Needs Teacher
Mrs McColl is a qualified primary teacher and has worked in several schools, teaching at all stages. She holds a post graduate diploma in Special Educational Needs and has worked as an Additional Support Needs teacher for over a decade now. Mrs McColl's main focus is on early intervention, meeting the needs of pupils from Nursery to Junior 4, and she has been instrumental in setting up the Peer Tutoring Programme between Junior 1 and Junior 3 pupils. She also started the Magic Nursery Programme, pairing Junior 2 pupils with Pre-School pupils.
From the Junior 4 level onwards, Mrs McColl's support then becomes more individualised and continues where necessary for pupils up to Junior 7. In the Senior School, she is responsible for assessing pupils who may require Alternative Arrangements and providing support strategies to equip pupils to overcome any barriers to learning and fulfil their full potential.

The Perfect Metaphor: The Makers of the Times Square Ball Filed for Bankruptcy
Each year Waterford Crystal designs a new pattern for the Times Square Ball that drops on New Year's Eve. The new crystals, triangular in shape, number in the hundreds and are installed alongside the permanent Waterford crystals that remain in the ball year after year. This year, the company made a Celtic knot pattern dedicated to the theme "Let There be Courage." It's a fitting slogan considering the year we've had, but it hits even closer to home for Waterford–who also owns Wedgwood China–since the company declared bankruptcy in January of 2009. It's almost too painfully symbolic. As we put one of the worst economic years on record behind us, we celebrate by lavishing attention on a colorful crystal ball that is produced by a company that fell victim to the recession. I would not want 2009 to go out in any other fashion. We came into the year broke and we should remember that as we exit it, even if they say things are looking up.
Here's a little bit more information on the Times Square Ball itself: The 2010 version of the New Year's Eve ball for Times Square is a twelve foot geodesic sphere, which weighs 11,875 pounds. The ball itself is covered in 2,668 Waterford Crystals and is powered by 32,256 Philips LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes). And believe it or not, the ball is capable of creating a palette of "more than 16 million colors" and "billions of patterns," according to the Times Square Alliance website.
Happy New Year everyone! See you in 2010.

History of War
"It had been only a few years since the Upper Bay had become a junction through which every man of import in America's founding had passed, paused for supper, slept the night away, and found brief respite from the travail of establishing a more perfect union in these surrounding United States. They were men who started a revolution that became America's War of Independence. Back then 265 British ships had transgressed the upper bay. Now thirty five years later, there was well-founded rumor that they may be returning, as uninvited and unwelcome as they were the first time.
The battle for liberty had been fought and won; the Americans were the victors, the British the losers. The century of America's Revolution was finished, and now it was the second decade of a new one. One of those founding fathers who had passed through the Upper Bay – James Madison – was now the fourth president of the United States, and on June 18, 1812, he led congress to a second declaration of war against Great Britain.
For nearly an entire year, the hostilities between two countries didn't touch the residents of the Chesapeake region, but many, if not most of the people living in the upper reaches of the Bay lived to at least some extent, in fear. In February of that year, British Admiral John Borlase Warren issued the following proclamation: "I hereby certify that the Bay, and Harbors in the Chesapeake, were yesterday put under a strict and rigorous blockade". The Admiral of the Blue, as he called himself, had built a similar naval fence around Delaware Bay.
A year after Madison's declaration of war, the summer of 1813 would be a hot sweltering one in which there seemed to be no relief from the sun's intensity. In April of 1813 however, the heat had not yet begun, but the British invasion of the Upper Chesapeake Bay was about to."

A summer mystery: Part I: The setup
July 21, 2011 —
Eddie had washed the windows and polished the door handle. He had futzed with the flowers and dusted his desk. It was getting to be time to head down to the basement, and he was sort of dreading it. The low hum of the AC kept the lobby cool. The basement would be sweltering.
The Met game was just starting and he decided to give it a few innings. If he got lucky, maybe the heat would let up.
"Sorry about the cardboard," Santiago, the daytime doorman, had said while he was leaving. And Eddie had said it was fine, even though it had annoyed him a little bit.
It was already the second inning when Mrs. Johnson from 5C appeared at the door looking disheveled. She had been shopping. There were three bags, and they looked expensive.
"Good evening," he said as he held open the elevator door.
"My husband home?" she asked.
"I haven't seen him."
"Hopefully, I've beaten him and he won't have to know about these," she said, as she gestured to her bags.
Eddie made the motion of locking a key over his lips as Mrs. Johnson thanked him.
The young couple from 5B were at the door during the fourth inning—they had been drinking and were talking about red shoes. He smiled but didn't ask questions. They came home late often, usually talking loudly about something or other. Tom, the actor from 3B, was home during the seventh. He was always pleasant.
Eddie glanced at his watch, 10:30 p.m.; he should get to that cardboard.
Across town, Detective Brown sat in an unmarked patrol car with an ice coffee. He had a headache and was alternating putting the plastic cup on his temple and drinking from it. The night had been slow but Brown didn't mind, he liked it even. Especially when there was a game on.
He popped three Advil, and hoped it wouldn't be a late night.
Eddie easily slit through the tape on each box. He folded them flat and placed them behind him. He was sweating profusely; the air down in the basement was thick and hot. It smelled terrible.
Bottom of the ninth, Mets were down. He stopped to mop his sopping brow. And then he saw it. A human hand. He almost couldn't believe it. It was poking out through a space in the cardboard. He leaned in for a closer look.
Eddie screamed as he stumbled backwards and tripped over the boxes. He darted into the service elevator and slammed the door, jamming the controls as the elevator lurched up. Eddie burst into the lobby and ripped the phone from its cradle.
Detective Brown received the call.
"Some doorman just found a dead body in the basement. West Village," the radio crackled.

This Ginger doesn't dance backwards in high heels but it is impressive nevertheless. I take this ginger daily. What a great way to help balance out our inflammatory diet (white flour, sugar, etc.) with this great anti inflammatory. It helps relieve some of the effects of inflammatory diseases.
After taking this organic ginger a few days ( 2~3 days),I can feel my chronic inflammatory got a great improvement.Be sure to take it at meals time to avoid heartburn. Highly recommeded.
FANTASTIC Product!

I have two German Shepherds with 'tender tummies'. Yes, they get gastrointestinal issues at almost the drop of a hat. No table scraps - that can really set them off. Merrick has been a total blessing. It is not easily accessible where we live. Luckily, I found wag.com (thanks to a friend). This food is A#1 as far as we are concerned and our vet certainly is happy with the results as well. Our four-legged kids maintain their weight, have great coats and their overall health is wonderful. Our female is 9+ years and we (with our vets assistance) guesstimate our male is around 13 - 14 years. We feed the pups about 16 ounces twice a day with a bit of warm water on it and all is wonderful.
