SPLOST VI Discussions Start
SPLOST VI talks are underway in Stephens County.
Officials from Stephens County and the cities of Toccoa, Martin, and Avalon gathered Monday at the historic Stephens County Courthouse in downtown Toccoa for the first joint meeting on SPLOST VI.
Those officials received initial projections on SPLOST VI from Stephens County Administrator Phyllis Ayers.
Currently, Ayers is projecting anywhere from $18.5 million to $21.2 million over six years of SPLOST VI, if approved by voters.
Officials then began discussing possible projects for that money.
Toccoa City Manager Mike Jackson said the city's top priority is water and sewer projects.
"Those kinds of things are necessary for growth and to help this community prosper," said Jackson.
Other city priorities include road resurfacing, renovating the Schaefer Center, acquiring property for a new police department, and replacing vehicles.
As for Stephens County, Commission Chairman Stanley London said the county is still finalizing its prioritized list.
However, he said the county's top priority is clearly providing money to fix roads and bridges.
"We have a great need," said London, stating that the county is 7 to 10 years behind on road maintenance. "Our roads are lacking. We have a lot of catching up to do."
Meanwhile, Martin Mayor Don Foster said his city is looking at building a fire substation, as well as spending money on the water system, and renovating city-owned buildings in downtown Martin. As for Avalon, Mayor Linda Dean said the town would like some money to spend on renovating its town hall on Tower Road.
Before projects can be decided, the parties must agree on how to split the SPLOST revenues.
Currently, the county receives just under 65 percent of SPLOST V revenue, while the city gets about 35 percent. Those same percentages are used to divide Local Option Sales Tax money.
However, Stephens County Commissioner Dean Scarborough said the county would need a higher percentage of the revenue from SPLOST VI.
"The county has pretty well got to have 75 percent," said Scarborough, noting cost shifting from the states to the counties, a lower tax digest, and debt owed by the county on the jail.
The county asking for 75 percent would leave Toccoa 25 percent or so, depending on how much money went to Martin and Avalon.
Toccoa Mayor David Austin said the city would discuss the county's proposal, but adds it is not what the city was hoping for.
"We came in expecting the same percentages," said Austin.
The county and cities are scheduled to hold another joint SPLOST VI meeting next month.
Voters in Stephens County are scheduled to cast ballots on SPLOST VI in November.

The night before
Under the in-principle agreement hammered out over a few frantic days in June 2010, mining companies could have avoided liability for the proposed 40 per cent tax by instead writing off their capital expenditure on infrastructure.
The deal was hurriedly developed by a prime minister under great political pressure to settle the damaging fight with the mining industry and a chief executive of
The agreement would have split the mining industry's fervent opposition to the resource super profits tax and immediately given the then prime minister a politically valuable and visible ally in selling a grand "national interest'' alternative to the public.
But the Gillard leadership challenge on Wednesday, June 23 – a day after Mr Rudd had briefed senior ministers on the progress of talks– meant the whole concept was effectively dead on arrival. As was the chance to revive the Rudd prime ministership.
The agreement undermines the arguments put by
Instead, the new, detailed revelations of the negotiations between Mr Forrest and Mr Rudd in the lead-up to his forced exit indicate how close the former prime minister came to being able to announce a "solution'' to the brawl over the tax.
"When Rudd was rolled, he had the principles of a new and different tax sorted out,'' Mr Forrest said.
Even though this would not have stopped the opposition from
Mr Forrest said that on Fortescue's estimates, the plan would have led to at least $200 billion a year going into national infrastructure every five years, which would have been a great deal for the country.
Mr Rudd's office refused to comment on Tuesday. But Mr Forrest confirmed that key figures in the rest of the government were also involved in the discussions on Monday, June 21 and Tuesday, June 22, 2010, with regular input from the Treasurer's chief of staff, Chris Barrett, and other Treasury officials, as well as advisers from the office of Resources Minister
"By Monday night, we felt we had an agreement,'' Mr Forrest said. "I believe Rudd briefed his senior ministers on Tuesday morning on his plan to switch the RSPT into the biggest infrastructure boom imaginable. It would have been a huge legacy for a Labor government. The prime minister wanted to go public with the new deal on Friday.''
But just as the Fortescue board convened a special meeting on the Wednesday evening before taking the proposal to the industry, news of the leadership challenge broke.
"We were thunderstruck,'' Mr Forrest, now Fortescue's chairman, said. "We believed this was an incredibly good deal to do for the country. We didn't realise then that BHP and Rio had gone behind our backs to do another deal.
"When we were negotiating our solution with Rudd, I was calling BHP and Rio but they didn't call back. They were working on their own deal. As soon as Rudd was gone, BHP and Rio didn't need us, an Aussie battler, any more. They were doing their own deal with Gillard.'' The result is the minerals resource rent tax, which is due to start on July 1 this year after a new Gillard government quickly negotiated it with BHP, Rio and Xstrata.
Most of the mining industry believes the tax is unlikely to raise anything like the $10.6 billion the government says it will in its first three years. That scepticism includes, in private, the big miners that the government insists will pay 90 per cent of the tax.
The alternative proposal from Mr Forrest was always intended to be put to industry for discussion, but he was prepared to support the concept publicly once he had urgent board approval on the Wednesday.
Mr Forrest's revelations also put into context the vicious personal attacks on him by Treasurer
He has said it is a choice between standing up for working Australians or kowtowing at the feet of mining billionaires.
Mr Forrest told a Sydney FC business lunch yesterday that Mr Swan needed to change the conversation after politically assassinating his closest colleague. "But he [Swan] duplicitously used almost an act of racism that turns Australian against Australian by trying to make it a crime to organise capital,'' he said.
Mr Swan was particularly antagonistic to any structural change to the original resource super profits tax before Mr Rudd was forced out.
Mr Forrest said Mr Swan had not given Fortescue or any company he knew of a briefing before the announcement of the tax. The Treasurer had also consistently and falsely assured him in three private conversations any changes would be "revenue neutral''.
But Mr Forrest said Australian Workers Union national secretary

text: I had a hive go queenless for a period of at least three weeks this spring. There was no brood or eggs at all. I got a queen and installed her, checked a week later, and she was there with a nice batch of eggs and young brood. Two weeks later (today), I checked the hive. The brood pattern is now very spotty, there's quite a bit of capped drone brood, and I didn't see the queen. Did I run out of nurse bees and attendant bees while this batch of brood was maturing? What should I have done differently?

Justin Trudeau On Justin Bieber: Stop Teasing Him, He Says In State Dinner Toast
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had a request of all the guests at his state dinner at the White House on Thursday.
Stop teasing Justin Bieber.
The prime minister was addressing a crowd in the East Room of the White House when he came to the topic of international trade.
One of Canada's key exports, he said, is the hitmaker behind songs such as "Baby" and "Where Are U Now."
Here are his remarks about Justin Bieber:
"Over $2.4 billion worth of goods and services cross the border every day -- evidence of one of the largest and most mutually beneficial trading relationships in the world. And one of our most popular exports to the United States, and I need you to stop teasing him, has been another Justin. Now, no, no, that kid has had a great year. And of course, leave it to a Canadian to reach international fame with a song called 'Sorry.'"
The quip drew both laughter and applause.
U.S. President Barack Obama honoured Trudeau with a state dinner, marking the first time a Canadian leader has been invited to one in 19 years.
The last one was former prime minister Jean Chretien, who was invited to the White House by ex-U.S. president Bill Clinton, in 1997.
Prominent guests at Trudeau's state dinner included Canadian actors Sandra Oh, Mike Myers, and Michael J. Fox, as well as "Saturday Night Live" creator Lorne Michaels.

M Network
|Video games
M Network was a video game division of Mattel that, in the 1980s, produced games in cartridge format for the Atari 2600 video game system.
In the early 1980s, Mattel's Intellivision video game console was a direct competitor to Atari's Video Computer System (VCS), better known as the Atari 2600. Although Mattel designed and produced video game cartridges for their own system, they also designed simplified versions of many of their games for the 2600 under the M Network label.[1][2]
M Network produced home ports of popular arcade games, including BurgerTime, Bump 'n' Jump and Lock 'n' Chase (all 1982) as well as original titles such as Tron: Deadly Discs (1982 – based on the Disney movie) and Kool-Aid Man (1983), one of the earliest "promogames", originally available only via mail order by sending in UPC symbols from Kool-Aid containers.[1][3][4]
Mattel programmers (named by TV Guide as the "Blue Sky Rangers") were also encouraged to develop video game tie-ins with other Mattel properties; games such as Masters of the Universe: He Man (1982), leveraging Mattel's Masters of the Universe media franchise, were released.[1][5]
M Network cartridges made for the 2600 were physically similar to Intellivision cartridges, but with a base designed to fit the 2600's larger cartridge slot.[1]
Although Mattel, through M Network, released cartridges for Atari consoles, they balked at allowing Atari to release cartridges for the Intellivision: in the early 1980s the company filed a lawsuit against Atari alleging that Atari had stolen Mattel's trade secrets when it hired former Mattel employees to develop a line of Intellivision-compatible cartridges.[6]

Richard Connor is clearly not in the real-estate business.
He bought a landmark Portland
property in June and sold it in July for no profit. And while he paid
significantly less than the assessed value according to city records, perhaps
he was just trying to break
even on that part of the deal, which bought him three newspapers and rather a
lot of real estate for a total of an estimated $30 million to $40 million.
After months and months of trying to put together a deal (and after years of preparation on the part of the Blethens), it appears that Richard Connor, the union-busting Bangor native who runs the Wilkes-Barre Times-Leader newspaper in Pennsylvania, may be close to actually getting ink on paper to buy the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram, the Central Maine Morning Sentinel, the Kennebec Journal, and associated Web sites and - most importantly - about $30 million in real estate
For those who think I don't give credit where it's due, I am announcing that the Blethen Maine Newspapers have today published a must-read piece. Naomi Schalit, opinion page editor at the Kennebec Journal and Central Maine Morning Sentinel, has an excruciating - and no less so for its nobility - account of domestic violence in her own life, and in the lives of others
Seattle may soon have just one daily paper - the Blethen-owned Seattle Times - with today's announcement that the Post-Intelligencer (owned by Hearst) is for sale. Not sure what that might do to the Blethens' finances - they have battled to terminate the joint operating agreement under which they and the P-I share some resources, and claimed that it was dragging them under.
The purgatory stay of the Portland Press Herald has been extended until "early next year," mainly because the financing hasn't come together yet for the purchasers, according to an article in today's Press Herald. The Blethens may be upset, because they had hoped to use the capital losses on the PPH sale to offset gains on real-estate sales.
For a while, the Press Herald has been saying that a sale needs to close before the end of the year to work for the Blethens. Part of this is related to the fact that the Blethens will take a capital loss on the deal, and the loss can be used to offset some of the Blethens' tax obligations from their capital gains on the sale of some property in Seattle earlier this year.

One thing the Ronnie White incident taught the Correctional Officers is that they must find the POS with a bed sheet around their neck, like in this case. Good job.......... the training paid off. We all learn by ours and others mistakes.

#13 Jul 28, 2008
you know you people are very sad and it is a disgrace for you all to say what you are saying. Those guards killed this boy and yall act like it's okay. Well it's not and no matter what a person does in life they need to be forgiven just like god forgives us. We are not to judge one another because all of us has made mistakes in life. Some may be more serious than others but it does not matter in GODS eyesight because in his eyesight all sin is the same. Anyways no one can play GOD, if GOD does not choose to take a mans life than it shouldn't be taken. It's really a shame for you all. If it was someone in your family what would you say or do. I know that your mad with me but i don't care because i believe in someone who is above you all and that is GOD.
#14 Jul 28, 2008
WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR INFORMATION FROM? I haven't heard of any Anne Arundel County Correctional officer being blamed for this death. And while we are on the subject; seems to be taking a long time to try and "pin" Ronnie White's death on a Prince Georges's County Correctional Guard.
Please do not go out putting this type of erroneous information out. The Correction Guards have a hard enough job with out someone like you accuesing, judgeing and condemning them for actions of their prisoners they watch. Next thing you know you'll be saying that Correctional Guards hubg the Apostile Judas. You know .... some people do commit suicide becasue they can not deal with their actions......
#15 Jul 28, 2008
I know that people commit suicide, that is true but what I know is personal an dinside information. Don't think that I would say something that was un true and please don't critisize what I believe in. I know who GOD is and i know that this boy did not hang himself. And as far as the guards they are not innocent at all. If you would read the papers and look at everyday life than you will see where they are at fault and when the truth comes out about this i would like an apology because the truth will come out i promise you that. About Ronnie White I don't know his story but tyrell's i do know and i know more than what the public knows.
#16 Jul 28, 2008
This could be a case similar to the Ronnie White episode. When you steal a car and murder somebody in law enforcement, you get such repercussion. Investigation is continuing or this could be a done deal in terms of justice.
#17 Jul 28, 2008
That's so true but do you think that it is right? It is really crazy how they take matters nt their own hands and nothng is done about it. If they are going to take matters into their own hands than they shoud not have A judge or the judge should just give everyone the death penalty because these inmates are being killed daily, not only by the people who's in jail but by the guards anjd people try to justify what is happening in the jails with these guards commiting crimes. Who are they to judge and if they can kill someone than why shouldn't they be killed because they are murderers to?

Please stop butchering the English language. Gracias.

Does it realy matter how he died? This POS had a long list of criminal activity; from rape, burglary, robbery, drugs, harming an animal, and numerous traffic violations. THESE ARE JUST THE ONES HE WHERE HE WAS CAUGHT, no telling how many other crimes he committed.
He was "FORGIVEN" the first time, released from jail..... he did not learn his lesson....... and continued to commit crimes. I blame not only Tyrell but also the justice system. This guy should have been put in jail a long time ago for a very long time.
#20 Jul 29, 2008
Stop using god in all this. You act as though he will forgive Tyrell Tyrone Taylor Thugger, what reward do his rape and assault victims get from god for their pain and suffering dished out by this POS. All your posts indicate god is looking out for the criminals and does not give one second thought to the innocent. Please explain?
#21 Jul 29, 2008
The following is from AACPD:
The Anne Arundel County Homicide Unit found no obvious signs of foul play in the
death of Tyrell Taylor. On Sunday, July 27, 2008, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner
performed an autopsy on Tyrell Taylor. The autopsy revealed no signs of trauma other than a
soft ligature mark on the neck area that would be consistent with a sheet being around the
neck/throat area. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled the cause of Tyrell Taylors
death as a hanging and the manner suicide. The investigation is closed.

The only info I put down on a charity quilt label is a small label containing care instructions. I make them to be machine wash warm and tumble dried -- someone once suggested to me that people automatically think that if something is handmade that it is delicate for one reason or other.
I put on the label who it is being made for (ie usually Project Linus), when it was made, state I live in & then sign it as "gramajo". For some reason, I'm uncomfortable using my full name on a donated quilt.
Thanks MeeMersMom,
That is a great idea. I feel comfortable now about adding a label that won't be personal or not including one at all. :)
Thank you, too gramajo. I wondered about adding the charity's name (Ronald McDonald House). I think I will combine the two suggestions. :)
The guilds that I belong to provide labels with the guild name and sometimes the date. We don't always know where a quilt is going, so that isn't included, but I think it's a lovely idea if you know that the quilt was made for a specific organization.
The one I just did I wrote on the back corner the name of the wallhanging which was also the name of the benefit, by my name (which happens to be a fairly common name) and the date.
I print mine out and I usually put my motto "A day hemmed in prayer is less likely to unravel" and I prayed for you as I made this quilt. I don't put my name. I think I will add care instructions too...that was a good idea.
I had some labels made up which say "Made just for you by Annie and my e-mail address". Our Project Linus puts on their own labels.
I added my e-mail address because sometimes a parent or the receiver wants to thank the maker personally for the quilt.
The group I work with give our quilts to several different needy groups so we just sign all our quilts with our group's name and the year........we sign it on the back with a permapen......then we wash the quilt so that it is free of any animal hairs or chemicals when we give it.......nothing personal is on the quilt except the love it was sewn with....

Workers will find a way to use their own technology, warns Samsung
The trend of blending work and home life is exposing companies to "hired hackers" who use their own tech despite restrictions by their employer
This Article Covers
Risk management
The growing trend of employees blending their work and home life is opening the door to "hired hackers" who use their own technology despite restrictions put in place by their employer, says Samsung.
Jargon-buster guide to GDPR
The 10 most important things you need to know about GDPR, and a jargon-buster explanation for some of the key terminology.
By submitting your personal information, you agree that TechTarget and its partners may contact you regarding relevant content, products and special offers.

Research by the technology firm found that 26% of employees have used a personal device to get round technology barriers put in place by organisations, with the millennial generation leading this trend.
Graham Long, vice-president of the Enterprise Business Team at Samsung UK & Ireland, said: "With the rise of mobile devices in the workplace, it is not surprising that work and life tasks are starting to blend. There is increasing demand for people to be able to do more on one device – whether that is to work remotely or spend time online shopping during their commute. There is a clear challenge for businesses to embrace new ways of working, but ensure all devices are highly secure and efficient."
The research also found that 29% of employees will use their personal devices in the office for work-related tasks without knowing whether this is part of their employer's workplace policy.
Some 32% of employees believe using mobility to perform personal tasks in the workplace, and vice versa, makes them less stressed, but this raises a number of security concerns for organisations, especially if IT departments are unaware this it is happening.
Earlier this month, Samsung revealed that UK business are not taking mobile security seriously enough, with less than 10% of IT managers and chief technology officers polled deeming mobile security a priority.
More on mobile
Dr Dimitrios Tsivrikos, consumer and business psychologist at University College London, said: "Samsung's study suggests that just as people solve problems and improve their personal lives by 'life hacking', many workers are using technology for the same ends. Millennials, who have grown up with mobile technology, are natural drivers of this trend, using their digital native intelligence to make IT work for them.
"If they haven't already, European organisations need to design their work and security policies, and technology strategy, with this employee behaviour in mind."
Earlier this month, Samsung announced that the next version of Google's Android operating system will have integration with the Samsung Knox platform, which means the security platform will now be available on other Android-powered devices.

I had a mini-lower lift 4 months ago. I had a lot of issues with recovery most of which are slowly resolving. My primary remaining issues are tightness, pulling and numbness around ears. But here's the strange part: For the last 6 weeks when I wake up in the morning and for the first 1.5 - 2 hours of the day, I have almost no facial discomfort.(Even usually numb areas feel completely normal!) Everyday I hope the normalcy will last longer than 2 hours, but so far it hasn't. Any ideas?
Feel Good 4 Months After Facelift. But Only 2 Hours Per Day. Any Explanation?
Doctor Answers 4
Facelift Recovery Varies
Tightness After Facelift
Full recovery from a facelift procedure may take up to 6 months, so I would continue to wait for the final results. Recovery varies from person to person, and I would not worry about it at this early stage.
Web reference: https://pacificcenterplasticsurgery.com/procedures/face/facelift/
Facelift recovery and scarring
Recovery after facelift may take time. However, persistent discomfort may be associated with a progressively thickening scar or scar contracture that should be addressed. I perform may facelift procedures in Los Angeles and ask patients to massage daily.
Sensation 4 Months after Facelift
Awkward sensations of pain 4 months after facelift may be normal, but an exam is necessary to determine any issues with healing.

You should always version your Web API while at the same time keeping as much of the same URI as possible. Imagine a situation where you have a Web API that is up and running on the production and is being consumed by users. Now suppose you need more functionality in the Web API yet must keep the existing functionality intact. You may have a few users who still need the old API, while others would need a version with new or extended features. This is exactly where Web API versioning comes to the rescue.
You can version your Web API in one of the following ways:
- Use URLs: Version information is specified in the URL as a query string.
- Use Custom Request Headers: Version information for your controller is specified in the request header sans the need of any change in the URL.
- Use Accept Headers: Accept headers generally define the media type and character encodings. You can also pass version information for your Web API via accept headers without having to change the URL.
Versioning Web API using URLs
Consider the following Web API controllers, which have been named as
AuthorsV1Controller and
AuthorsV2Controller respectively.
public class AuthorsV1Controller : ApiController
public IEnumerable<string> GetAuthors()
return new string[] { "Joydip Kanjilal", "Gerben Wierda" };
public class AuthorsV2Controller : ApiController
public IEnumerable<string> GetAuthors()
return new string[] { "Joydip Kanjilal, INDIA", "Gerben Wierda, Netherlands" };
To simplify this illustration, I've incorporated a method named
GetAuthors() in each controller. While
GetAuthors() in
AuthorsV1Controller returns only the author names,
GetAuthors() in
AuthorsV2Controller (the new version) returns the author names along with the names of the countries in which the authors reside.
The following code snippet shows how the two controllers use the Register method of the
WebApiConfig class.
name: "IDGWebAPIV1",
routeTemplate: "api/v1/{controller}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller= "AuthorsV1Controller", action="GetAuthors", id = RouteParameter.Optional }
name: "IDGWebAPIV2",
routeTemplate: "api/v2/{controller}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "AuthorsV2Controller", action = "GetAuthors", id = RouteParameter.Optional }
You can now invoke the Web API method
GetAuthors using the following URL.
Versioning Web API using request headers and accept headers
You can also implement Web API versioning using request header. To achieve this, you need to implement a custom class that extends the
DefaultHttpControllerSelector class, then override
SelectController in your custom class. Note that the
DefaultHttpControllerSelector class implements the
IHttpControllerSelector interface.
SelectController calls
GetControllerName internally and accepts an instance of
HttpRequestMessage as a parameter.
The following code snippet illustrates how you can retrieve version information from the request header.
private string GetControllerVersionFromRequestHeader(HttpRequestMessage request)
var acceptHeader = request.Headers.Accept;
const string headerName = "Version";
string controllerVersion = string.Empty;
if (request.Headers.Contains(headerName))
controllerVersion = "V"+request.Headers.GetValues(headerName).First();
return controllerVersion;
The following method shows how you can retrieve version information for your Web API from the accept header. The method checks the mine type and returns the version information appropriately. If the media type is not
application/json, the default version is returned as
private string GetControllerVersionFromAcceptHeader(HttpRequestMessage request)
var acceptHeader = request.Headers.Accept;
string controllerVersion = string.Empty;
foreach (var mime in acceptHeader)
if (mime.MediaType.Equals("application/json"))
NameValueHeaderValue version = mime.Parameters.FirstOrDefault(v => v.Name.Equals("Version", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase));
controllerVersion = "V" + version.Value.ToString();
return controllerVersion;
return "V1";
You can invoke your Web API from Fiddler by passing the accept header as shown below.
Accept: application/json; charset=utf-8;version=2
The following code listing illustrates how you can override
SelectController to select a controller dynamically. Note how
GetControllerVersionFromRequestHeader has been used. If you would like to retrieve the controller version from the accept header, you should leverage
GetControllerVersionFromAcceptHeader instead.
public override HttpControllerDescriptor SelectController(HttpRequestMessage request)
string controllerName = base.GetControllerName(request);
var controllers = GetControllerMapping();
var routeData = request.GetRouteData();
string controllerVersion = GetControllerVersionFromRequestHeader(request);
controllerName = String.Format("{0}{1}", controllerName, controllerVersion);
HttpControllerDescriptor controllerDescriptor;
if (!controllers.TryGetValue(controllerName, out controllerDescriptor))
string message = "No HTTP resource was found that matches the specified request URI {0}";
throw new HttpResponseException(request.CreateErrorResponse(System.Net.HttpStatusCode.NotFound, String.Format(message, request.RequestUri)));
return controllerDescriptor;
catch (Exception ex)
throw new HttpResponseException(request.CreateErrorResponse(System.Net.HttpStatusCode.NotFound, String.Format(ex.Message, request.RequestUri)));
You should add the following line in the Register method of the WebApiConfig class to provide support for controller selection at runtime.
config.Services.Replace(typeof(IHttpControllerSelector), new IDGControllerSelector((config)));
You can now use Fiddler to test your Web API -- use the composer tab of Fiddler and provide the URL and version information as appropriate. If you would want version 2 of your Web API controller to be invoked, you should specify
Version: 2 when composing the request header information in the Composer tab in Fiddler.

A thrice-bankrupted property developer allegedly withdrew investor funds associated with troubled Auckland housing projects and is now being chased for close to $300,000 in the High Court.
Damien Grant and Steven Khov of Waterstone Insolvency, as liquidators of Blake Street Trustee, have filed civil action in the High Court at Auckland against triple-bankrupt Peter Chevin.
The case is in its early stages and is likely to be heard sometime after November this year.
Chevin is a former director of Blake Street Trustee, which the liquidators say relied on agreements and investments schemes associated with property projects on Auckland's North Shore to generate revenue.
Grant and Khov are also liquidators of Hunter Capital, Hunter Gills Road and Albany Heights Villas, which they say also participated in these development projects, which were plagued with delays and other issues.
The liquidators, in their claim against Chevin, say these projects depended on investors "signing up to a financial scheme".
Investors were recruited from Hong Kong and Singapore and deposited funds into accounts of two New Zealand law firms, with the money then transfered either to Hunter Gills Road Ltd or Albany Heights Villas Ltd and then on to Hunter Capital, the liquidators claim.
A chain of further transactions followed, which the liquidators allege ultimately meant Chevin and a person associated with him used the above three firms " to take investor funds and to transfer it to themselves for no value".
Grant and Khov's statement of claim alleges Chevin withdrew $23,754 from Blake Street Trustee between March 2010 and December 2011 without having legal entitlement to it.
The liquidators also claim another defendant in this case - who has links to Chevin - received $47,953 from the company over a similar period and that Blake Street Trustee got no value in return.
In a third withdrawal, this pair also allegedly took out $271,254 from the company's bank account during this time.
The liquidators say the pair have been unjustifiably enriched from the three withdrawals and are seeking repayment of the funds - totalling $342,961.
They also want interest and costs.
Grant and Khov allege the three withdrawals "consequently caused the company to incur creditor debts totalling $885,271".
But Chevin's statement of defence says all money paid to him was for work that he did and that numerous parts of the liquidators' statement of claim were incorrect.
"The plaintiff has not legal basis to claim the amounts," he said.
Grant and Khov had a "clear conflict of interest in their role as liquidators and/or receivers of such a closely controlled web of trusts, trustee companies and companies that Paul Bublitz and Chris Cook have created,"Chevin said .
Hunter Capital was directed by failed finance company director Paul Bublitz and Hunter Gills Road Ltd and Albany Heights Villa Ltd by property developer Chris Cook.
"Further it is common knowledge within the Auckland business community that for a minimal payment of $5000 the plaintiffs will act as 'soft' insolvency practitioners for an owner of a company that wants protection from creditors," Chevin alleged.
In response to this statement, Grant told the Herald: "it is a common mistake for people in Mr Chevin's position to assume that insolvency practitioners are like lawyers; advocates for the people who engage them. Perhaps there are liquidators in Auckland who act on such a basis. Self-evidently; as I am suing Mr Chevin for nearly $300,000 I am clearly not one of them."
Chevin, at the end of his statement of defence, requested the court strike out claims made by the liquidators.
As part of their claim, Grant and Khov are also taking action against a man they say took over as Blake Street's director and agreed to look after it until Chevin was out of bankruptcy.
This man allegedly authorised the three withdrawals at the heart of this case and is accused by the plaintiffs of not performing his duties with reasonable care and skill.
The liquidators are seeking compensation from this company director, who is the third defendant in the case.
The Serious Fraud Office said last October it was investigating a residential property development on Auckland's North Shore involving Albany Heights Villas and Hunter Gills Road.

Beautiful quilt! I would use white thread, and some sort of curvy design.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Beautiful quilt! I would use white thread, and some sort of curvy design.
I have done this pattern twice, and love it even more every time ! The first one I did all over stipple with white thread. The second I got a little more creative with.
If you ever see a quilt without any flaws, rest assured that I did not make it ! http://slightlyoffquilter.com
Your quilt is beautiful! The quilting part is always a challenge for me -- in my dreams I would quilt it like slightlyoffquilter; but I'm not that good!
I just wanted to add that I also love your quilt top! It is beautiful!
Did you ask Reggie's opinion?? I have always loved straight stitching with white thread so that the quilting does NOT distract form the beautiful fabrics you chose. I would also SITD in the curves.
A Good Friend, like an old quilt, is both a Treasure and a Comfort
Your quilt top is BEATIFUL! Love the colors and the detailed piecing you did to achieve the secondary patterns.
You should be able to have a good conversation with your longarmer who should be able to recommend different options for the quilt as far as patterns and thread choices.

My GOAL is to ALWAYS ENJOY EVERY STEP of the quilting process....
thanks for the compliments and ideas. I first saw it on Love of Quilting, It's Liz Porter's "Emily's wedding quilt" although I downloaded the free version on their website called "aunt gracie's garden" instead of buying Liz's version. It consists of the 54-40-or-fight block and the shoo fly block. I did not use the tri-recs rulers. I tried those once upon a time and the block came out wonky. I used Deb Tucker's ruler for the triangle in the square blocks and Eleanor Burns' method for the HSTs. I prefer making oversized blocks and cutting to size.
Beautiful job. .....

I love the pattern and colors, where might I find the pattern? With instructions I am still new to quilting I have not done curves yet but would love to try.

Enjoy the creative process
Your quilt is beautiful.
Theres nothing wrong with me a little chocolate won't fix.

Are you responsible for a highly-visible, mission-critical enterprise development project? You could do worse than learn by Facebook's example. With its 500 software engineers and a futher 500 operations staff, Facebook keeps a mostly 24/7 service running, serving 600,000,000+ people. That puts it at huge risk of introducing errors in software updates. Let's see what we can learn from it, in The Long View...Yesterday, there was a flurry of discussion about how Facebook specifies, produces, tests, and rolls out updates to its service. This was kicked off in a blog post by Yee "yeeguy" Lee. Although the original post seems to have been riddled with inaccuracies, Lee has been diligently updating it, reflecting the crowdsourced feedback he's received from Facebook employees past and present. Opening the post, Lee sets out his stall:
I?m fascinated by the way Facebook operates. ... These are notes gathered from talking with many friends at Facebook about how the company develops and releases software.
It?ll be super interesting to see how Facebook?s development culture evolves over time ? and especially to see if the culture can continue scaling as the company grows into the thousands-of-employees.
Below, I've pulled together a few key themes from the post and the various discussions around the Web. These are my interpretations of what's being said, packaged in a way that I hope is useful for development managers in other organizations...

Chris RoaneBPL Member
@chrisroaneLocale: North Rockies
I have a Droid X that I want to start bringing on my backpacking trips. Below lists out what I want to do with it. If you have any software suggestions for any of these purposes, let me know.
– I don't need a tracking or a map application. But I would like to figure out the gps coordinates of where I am at (if I need to), so I can reference that point on a map. Is there software that does this (only using the GPS function)? I would only do this if I thought I might be lost or on the wrong trail.
– I want to take some video/photos using the camera.
– I want to use Google Sky Map to look at the stars. I've done research on this, but I can't seem to find a definitive answer: Can I use this application when I only have GPS on (no cell tower reception)?
– Listen to music on occasion.
– I might use it to read books.
The other big question I have is what do you suggest I use for more battery power? After doing some research on it, I have it down to two options that are fairly reasonable (but let me know if you have other opinions on this). For what I am using this for, it is not a huge deal if I run out of power for the phone.
1. Battery Supply: http://www.amazon.com/New-Super-pack-IMP500-External-Blackberry/dp/B0013G8PTS
2. Solar Charger: Freeloader Pico Solar Rechargeable iPhone Charger
Your opinions would be appreciated!Jan 27, 2011 at 7:13 pm #1689210

Hey Chris,
I found an article here: http://tinyurl.com/5shbzv2 that describes how to use your phone as a standalone GPS. I'm not sure how well it works. As for the google skymap app, I haven't found a definitive answer either, but I think google maps requries cellular service, so the skymap app may be similar. Let me know if you ever find the answer.
* I just put my phone in airplane mode with GPS enabled to test it and the skymap app appeared to be working, but google maps did not.Jan 27, 2011 at 7:27 pm #1689215

@hardcoreyLocale: Denver
The new google maps is a little better about offline usage, but would be unreliable as an only map.
I am pretty sure the Skymap works just with GPS and magnetometer, doesn't need to be connected. I know I've used it on trips before, can't recall if I had signal or not, but it seems to work fine at home in airplane mode.Jan 27, 2011 at 7:55 pm #1689225

I have a Droid X I plan to use in the same way, but unfortunately have little experience with it thus far to share. One app you might consider is a voice recorder; I forget the name but I found a nice freeware one on the app market and have already found this useful while hiking.
Just getting UTM coordinates isn't hard, I think a lot of freeware apps will do that; I don't recall which ones as I haven't been working with this aspect much (I'm carrying a standalone GPS on my upcoming trip).
Photos: the built-in software seems fine to me, I particularly like their panorama assist.
Google Sky Map: I'm not sure either, but it's pretty easy to test — there's a tool out there called "Advanced Settings" that allows you to turn off the cell phone "radio" (while nominally still not putting you into "airplane mode"). Likley a useful tool in general.
You might also consider getting the "flashlight app". Obviously a hideous thing to use for battery life, but if it's dark and your normal flashlight is dead or lost ..
Books: I like the Aldiko book reader, you might have a look at that.
Battery power: two other options to consider are (a) carry one or more spare batteries, and (b) search the web for ideas on how to reduce power drain. There's a lot of stuff that a smartphone likes to do automagically that can suck power; with some study you can likely reduce that factor to get more out of your phone.Jan 27, 2011 at 11:16 pm #1689271

+ one on extra batteries. i tried a large external but the capacity was about half of spec it weighed more andwas larger than bringing extras. I'm planning to use a chargers lightweight external chargers for towns on an AT thru this spring. Obviously this only works if you route takes you thru town or power source, although id say for trips less than a week you should b able to stretch 3 to 4 batteries to last you.
Aldiko is great. Lots of free classics and such.
gaia-good detailed downloadable maps w gps.
get in the habit of geotagging photos. i can't seem to remember to do this myself but embedding photos/video into google earth is a great way to share your trips with others.Jan 28, 2011 at 7:03 am #1689315

Jeff: That's a great article on making your cellphone a complete GPS unit. Honestly the life on my Droid X is just not good enough IMO for me to consider this as an option (to have it on 100% of the time on the trail tracking everywhere I go. But it might be useful if I want to know exactly where I am at, at certain times.
Brian: I'll take a look at the Advanced Settings app. I have used several flashlight apps….but I really doubt my photon light is going to go out soon. :)
Thanks everyone for the tip on just using extra batteries. Doing a quick search on it, I can get a new battery for $10 on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-BH5X-Standard-Battery-Droid/dp/B003XW8UPO . For how I am using the phone, I don't think I would need more than 3 batteries for a week long trip (which includes the one in the phone). Also, this is way more convenient than having to use a solar charger or batter pack to charge my phone when it is drained…AND this is a cheap option.
Also, just as an FYI for anyone interested. I did some research on getting a waterproof case. They are definitely out there, but they are expensive. I think what I am going to do is just use a freezer zip lock bag to store the phone and just be careful in how I handled it.Jan 28, 2011 at 7:38 am #1689333

In a game where a team scored eight runs and lost I'm seeing a lot of blame misplaced.
You can talk about the insane number of men left on base last night but THE PIRATES SCORED EIGHT RUNS.
Blame. A.J. Burnett. A 3.0 run inning? Are you serious? Burnett did absolutely nothing to disprove the notion that he sucks in big games.
Blame. Jared Hughes and Bryan Morris. For sucking.
At the deadline I screamed as loud as I could that this team would go as far as the staff allowed it. You're seeing the proof right now. How many eight run games would the Pirates have lost pre-deadline? Not many.
You can add as many bats as you want, if the pitching doesn't do most of the heavy lifting it's gonna be bye bye in the playoffs.
So now we need a HUGE start from the embattled Jeff Locke.
It's a real testament to how good his first half was when his numbers are still quite good.
So much bitching about Locke starting this game, as if there was someone else. History tells us that Francisco Liriano sucks on long rest.
History also suggests the Cardinals struggle against lefties. That plays into Locke's hands.
So Locke makes sense. Because he's the best option. Unless of course you want another Kris Johnson start.
He might not be the option you want, he's the option you have. So suck it up.
I actually think we might get a little surprise tonight. It's been the story of the season. Someone unexpectedly stepping up.
The Pirates are 2-0 in his starts against the Cardinals although he hasn't exactly looked like an expert.
In fact in his most recent start he didn't even last long enough to qualify for a win.
Okay. So maybe it's a little risky. Again though, there aren't a ton of options here.
Those were his only two career starts against the Cardinals.
But hey, his only start at Busch Stadium was really good.
And by the grace of God himself the Pirates will get to face Adam Wainwright.
Looking at the numbers you wouldn't normally think that's a good thing but hear me out.
Listen to this shite! Wainwright has a 5.81 ERA over his last five games. On top of that opponents are hitting .273/.323/.438/.761 in that span. Boom, punk.
What's ultra-groovy is that he hasn't gotten a decision yet against the Bucs. Now, he hasn't pitched bad mind you, but he hasn't exactly dominated the Pirates like you'd expect.
And for his career he's been a disaster against the Pirates.
So yes, the Pirates might have a chance tonight! Either that or they're just going to sit on number 81 for the rest of the season.
First Pitch: 7:15 PM EST

"I'd love to own a panther."
This oft-heard comment piqued the imagination of a prominent cat breeder, the late Nikki Horner, from Louisville, Kentucky. Horner set her sights on producing a copper-eyed black shorthaired cat with the exotic appearance of a mini panther (or "parlor panther"). Horner began her effort in 1953, and through a long process of inbreeding, outcrossing, and careful selection, she was able to consistently produce a black cat unlike any other.
The Bombay achieved Cat Fanciers' Association Championship status in 1976, 18 years after it was created.
The coat is the most defining characteristic of the Bombay. Its short, flat, gleaming, black-to-the-roots coat accentuates its rippling muscular form. And, along with its conspicuous gold-to-copper eye color, leads to the Bombay being described as a patent-leather kid with copper-penny eyes.
It has been said that if you want a dog, a cat, or a monkey, you want a Bombay. Bombays can often be leash trained, most enjoy playing fetch, and all are fond of inventing new ways to entertain themselves and the folks that live with them. Bombays are congenial and outgoing, and make intelligent, affectionate companions. They do well with children and will often act as a "greeter" with visitors. They live compatibly with dogs and other pets as well. The Bombay generally combines the easygoing temperament and robust nature of the American Shorthair and the social, inquisitive, lap-loving character of the Burmese.

Laura Franklin feels the love in Vietnam, where war has been trumped by resilience.
Saigon (alias Ho Chi Minh City) at noon. The scent of frangipani is heavy in the steamy heat. The perfume is almost thick enough to disguise the fumes from thousands of motorcycles which weave and dodge like shoals of tropical fish.
Private cars are rare here. Taxis and the occasional bus chug through the chaos, but mostly the streets are a mad crush of motorbikes, seemingly immune to the inconveniences of traffic lights, road rules or gravity.
A girl zooms past balancing a silver tray laden with noodles, chopsticks, a bottle of beer and a small vase of flowers. A man carefully layers a dining-room cabinet in kitset form across his scooter seat, sits on it and rides away. An entire family unit - two adults, two children and a baby shrouded in mosquito netting - zip by on one small, bright-pink Honda.
Others are ferrying paying passengers. Motorbike drivers for hire - known as "xe om" ("bike hug") - are available throughout the city for anyone brave enough to hop on.
Right now, however, we're content to remain outside the flow of suicidal traffic and, besides, it's too hot for hugging. It's 29C and 80 per cent humidity ... and it's only late spring.
The temperature will increase in the weeks ahead until the monsoon rains arrive in May. Already it's hot enough that a short stroll past the silk tailors and lacquer-ware shops of the city centre becomes a sticky endurance test.
We've walked miles today, from the wide and muddy Saigon river, to the busy neighbourhood pagodas where crowds of young and old carry out their Buddhist devotions, to the manic markets selling dried shrimp, chopsticks, embroidery, noodle soup, army surplus goods and snake wine.
Overcome by a sudden need to escape the stifling atmosphere, the tooting of horns and the ever-present threat of death by motorcycle, we duck into a cafe.
Bliss. The Givral Patisserie on Lam Son Square is a haven of air-conditioning, French baking and stunning Vietnamese iced coffee, which is served long, strong and with a generous amount of sweetened condensed milk.
Through the window, the view is dominated by the arched and colonnaded Opera House and the elegant Hotel Continental, where Somerset Maugham was a regular and Graham Greene set scenes in his love story of the Indochina War, The Quiet American.
At the table next to us, a Western man is explaining to his exquisite Vietnamese companion that his wife doesn't understand him.
With the colonial architecture outside and the romantic angst of the neighbouring couple within, we could easily have stepped into Greene's world, when bloodshed and disaster were never far away, when Western war correspondents engaged in doomed love affairs with intoxicating local women and when the French were fighting to retain Saigon as "The Paris of the East".
As if sensing that the moment calls for exotic charm, a pair of Vietnamese women glide past outside on bicycles, serene amidst the traffic hell, displaying flawless posture, conical hats and the traditional ao dai silk robes.
They are followed by a troupe of cyclo drivers with weathered faces, puffing on cigarettes as they manoeuvre their three-wheeled bicycle rickshaws, carrying harried-looking, red-faced tourists on the wide front seats.
An elderly woman walks along the road edge with the odd bobbing gait adopted by those who use the traditional yoke as a cargo carrier. In two bamboo baskets hanging from her shoulders, she bears pineapples, mangos and rambutan for sale. She smiles a toothless grin as she clinches a deal.
Saigonnais just like these would have been making their way through the city streets when the French arrived in the 1850s, seeking a trading base in the East and attracted by the opportunities for coffee and rubber plantations.
French rule left a legacy of wide tree-lined avenues, attractive parks and buildings, and a special continental twist to the Vietnamese cuisine.
But the colonialists are long-gone now, and the man who freed Vietnam from their control has left his own legacy. It is impossible to travel anywhere here without coming across the goateed countenance of Ho Chi Minh, on posters, placards, statues, stamps and on every note of currency.
The national hero and father of the communist party led his resistance forces to victory in 1954, overthrowing the French by way of the same guerilla warfare that later shocked the United States and its allies with its brutality and effectiveness.
Saigon is officially called Ho Chi Minh City in his honour, but you will not find that name commonly used by locals. Our Vietnamese guide, Vu, tells us pragmatically: "That name is very long. Saigon is short." But that in no way lessens the devotion the people have for "Uncle Ho".
Vu - a young, university-educated northerner - is all sincerity when he says: "Because of Uncle Ho, we have a country. He sacrificed for the independence of Vietnam. He had no wife and children but, in our opinion, we are all his children."
Nationalistic pride is a strong thread running through the fabric of Vietnam. Monuments to the glory of the party abound. Billboards extol the virtues of communist life. War memorials remember victories against US forces, often in a chillingly specific way: "4000 American planes shot down in 1972!"
From repeated Chinese occupations during the dynasty years, through the French colonisation, to what the Vietnamese still call the "American War", these people have seldom known peace.
Even amidst the bustle of modern Saigon, the knowledge is ever-present that most families have suffered terrible losses, GIs once sauntered down these leafy streets and tanks burst through the gates of the Reunification Palace in the city's centre in 1975.
At the nearby War Remnants Museum, history is presented in uncompromising fashion. (Its former name, "The Museum of Chinese and American War Crime", is a clue to the challenging nature of the displays.)
Old helicopters, jets and tanks; a gallery of shocking but moving photojournalism; a litany of atrocities; the effects of napalm and agent orange; replica prison cells ... it's well worth the visit, but not for the faint-hearted.
Likewise the Cu Chi tunnels, a 60km bus trip to the northwest. Dug with bamboo tools and bare hands in the 1940s during the French occupation and expanded in the 1960s as a base for the Vietcong guerilla fighters, this network, more than 200km long, included underground dormitories, cooking areas, hospitals, meeting rooms and escape routes.
Now, some sections of the tunnels have been widened to accommodate Western visitors, but it's still unnerving, creeping on hands and knees through the dark, constricted twists and turns.
Above ground, the experience is equally disturbing. Walking through the humid jungle, we see replicas of booby-trap pits featuring deadly bamboo spikes tipped with poison, concealed tunnel exits covered with grass and leaves which enabled the Vietcong to appear suddenly and silently, B52 bomb craters still visible in the jungle floor.
In the 1960s and 70s, the jungle also bristled with mines made by fearless or foolhardy resistance fighters from unexploded US bombs. And for an added burst of reality, the forest echoes with the crack of rifle-fire from the nearby shooting range where, for a small fee, tourists can discharge an AK47.
In the Cu Chi tourist information centre, a black-and-white propaganda movie praises the heroic deeds of the villagers and tells how the US forces and their allies invaded "like a bunch of crazy devils".
Today in Vietnam, the crazy devils are still invading - but this time the Westerners are coming in peace, and with tourist dollars to spend.
And, despite all they have endured, the Vietnamese people are nothing but friendly and welcoming. Acceptance and equanimity are a way of life for them. They are in love with Uncle Ho, in love with Buddha and in love with love songs (cheesy Western pop ballads croon from every shop and doorway).
With their roots firmly in the past but their faces turned toward the future, they are much like the historic, haunted and yet defiantly joyful city of Saigon itself.
Getting there: Air New Zealand flies daily to Ho Chi Minh City via Hong Kong.
Visas: New Zealand passport holders require a visa which can be issued in four to five working days by the Vietnam Embassy in Wellington. Phone (04) 473 5912.
Where to stay: Ho Chi Minh offers a range of accommodation from the historic, five-star Caravelle and Continental to the comfortable and affordable Hoang Gia Huy Hotel near the Ben Thanh Market. Backpacker and budget options are also available.
Markets: Don't miss Ben Thanh Market during the day and the night market that springs up around it once the sun goes down. Binh Tay Market in the heart of Ho Chi Minh's Chinatown, Cholon district, is well worth a visit.

How to Avoid Illegal Lottery Scams
LOUISIANA LOTTERY -- Using well-respected names in the lottery industry and promises of multi-million-dollar prizes, e-mail-based lottery scams are flooding the Internet.
In fact, a recent online survey conducted by the Louisiana Lottery revealed that 72 percent of players had received an illegal lottery scam prize notification in the last year with more than half via e-mail.
Email is cheap, instant and virtually anonymousa perfect combination for unscrupulous scam artists to promulgate their scheme.
To sound "official," these types of e-mail-based solicitations contain special coupon or reference numbers. The notifications indicate that the recipient's e-mail address was selected at random from a list.
Because players have 'caught on' to the fact that you need a ticket in order to win a prize, the e-mail may even ask for a ticket number as part of claiming the bogus prize and suggests that the win is based on your purchase of a ticket. Since the Powerball game is so widely played, the chances of the recipient having played Powerball recently are great.
Similar scams using other well-known or official-sounding names, such as BMW, Coca-Cola or the "European Lottery" have surfaced across the county, including a mail-based scam that includes a bogus check to supposedly cover the costs of claiming the prize. In these types of scams, the recipient is instructed to wire money to cover the insurance, taxes or other related prize payment costs, which the recipient figures should be more than covered by the check they received. But that isn't how it works.The check bounces and the scammer makes off with your "real' money."
Tip-Off to the Rip-Off
So how can you tell if a prize notification is a scam? Here are basic red flags:
1. The notification asks you to keep your "winnings" a secret. This ploy is to keep you from sharing the information with family members who may help you realize that it's a scam.
2. You haven't purchased a ticket for the particular game or entered the particular drawing in which the prize was won. Every legitimate lottery business model requires the payment of prizes from funds collected through the sale of tickets. Even the IRS only issues refunds based on taxes already paid! Ask yourself, where did the funds come from in order to pay this prize? Did I physically enter this drawing? Remember, there is no such thing as free money.
3. You are asked to make up-front payments of processing fees, taxes or insurance in order to collect the winnings. This is the foundation upon which all scams are based. No legitimate lottery will ever require up-front payment of any kind from winners to claim a prize. Any withholdings, such as taxes, owed by the winner are deducted from the prize funds.
4. You are guaranteed that you will win a prize if you pay to join a pool. Legitimate lotteries do not require that players join a pool in order to play. Also, legitimate lotteries cannot guarantee that your ticket will win a prize. Even if there was a way to "fix the system" in order to win, this would be illegal and you would be participating in a serious crime!
5. You are asked to communicate by phone, mail or e-mail with an oversees entity in order to claim the prize. Gambling across state lines through the Internet, phone or mail is illegal for a reasonto protect U.S. consumers. Scam artists that set up shop oversees are more difficult to prosecute. Also, online gambling companies are not regulated and often sell their customer lists to others, including scammers.
The bottom line is that if it seems to good too be true, it most likely is. With identity theft on the rise, players should never give credit cards, social security numbers, bank account numbers or other personal information to anyone promising a lottery prize.
Lottery Winner Notification Procedures
The vast majority of legitimate jurisdictional lotteries, including the Louisiana Lottery, do not know the names of prize winners until they claim their winning ticket. For this reason, the Lottery will NEVER contact game prize winners directly. Prize winners know that they've won from their ticketNOT through an e-mail, letter or phone call.
The one exception is second-chance drawings, in which the player has written their contact information on the back of a nonwinning ticket and mailed it to an address printed on the ticket to be part of the drawing on an announced date. In these instances, winners may be contacted by phone and registered mail by the Lottery, but will NEVER be required to pay anything in advance to collect their prize.
Our Lottery claim form does request a social security number which is needed for prizes greater than $600 to be reported for tax purposes. But most people either present the form in person or mail it to the Lottery's address which can easily be confirmed over the Internet or phone book.
As the prevalence of e-mail communication continues to grow, so will the number and frequency of e-mail scams, including those promising lottery winnings. And its a profitable venture. In the Lotterys survey on illegal Lottery scams, seven respondents admitted to having been victimized, with one losing $2,800 in hopes of collecting $150,000 and another out $3,000. Nationwide, the Federal Trade Commission estimates consumers are losing about $120 million on these types of scams each year.
The best advice is to hit the delete button or report them to the Attorney General's office which has set up a special division to pursue these criminals.

New Mexico Department of Health Reports Decrease in Drug Overdose Deaths
Santa Fe, New Mexico -
SANTE FE -- The New Mexico Department of Health announced that drug overdose deaths in New Mexico decreased in 2012. The Department reports 486 New Mexicans died from drug overdoses last year. That is a 7% decrease from 2011.
Even with this one-year decline, 2012 rates for both men and women were much higher than 1990 rates.
"One of the main concerns is that overdose deaths due to prescription drugs are increasing," said Department of Health Secretary Retta Ward, MPH. "The Department is partnering with organizations to increase knowledge and availability of naloxone, which can help reverse an opioid overdose."
New Mexico had the second highest drug overdose death rate in the nation in 2010. In response, the Department of Health and its partners are currently involved in a number of initiatives and rule changes aimed at preventing drug overdose deaths including:
- Mandatory use of the Prescription Monitoring Program to reduce doctor shopping by drug-seeking patients and inappropriate prescribing by medical providers;
- Required pain management provider education; safe drug disposal sites (where people can drop off their left-over prescription drugs);
- Substance abuse treatment, including opioid substitution therapy (suboxone and methadone); and direct distribution of naloxone to persons at risk for opioid overdose as well as naloxone distribution by prescription or samples in clinical settings for patients at risk of opioid overdose from prescribed pain medications. Naloxone (also called Narcan) is formally known as an opioid antagonist - an antidote that reverses an opioid overdose. It works by neutralizing the opioids in the body, thereby allowing the respiratory system to function again.
- Other initiatives include: law enforcement naloxone carry-and-administer programs (Espanola Police Department); Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD) programs (Santa Fe County), in which substance abusers are diverted to drug treatment services and therapies in order to reduce incarceration for non-violent offenders; and community prevention and education initiatives (such as Taos Alive, Santa Fe Opioid Safe, Roswell Prescribe to Prevent, the Sierra County Opiate Overdose Prevention Task Force in Truth or Consequences and the Bernalillo County Community Health Council).

SentencedView in iTunes
To preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
The Finnish heavy metal band Sentenced released its debut album, Shadows of the Past, in the early '90s on a small French label; dissatisfied with their somewhat commonplace black-metal sound, they hired bassist/vocalist Taneli Jarva to provide more originality for 1992's North From Here. The record was more melodic and technically competent and got the band noticed in Sweden; it was followed in 1993 by a four-song EP, The Trooper, the title tune a cover of Iron Maiden's classic. This marked the beginning of a shift toward an even more melodic, British metal-influenced style, fleshed out on 1995's Amok and the additional EP Love and Death. Jarva left the band at this point, leaving guitarist Miika Tenkula and new vocalist Ville Laihiala as the musical focus of Sentenced. 1997's Down was the first effort by this revamped lineup; it was followed in 1998 by Story: A Recollection, a best-of compilation. The group returned in early 2000 with Crimson and again in 2002 with The Cold White Light. ~ Steve Huey

Phoenix-based Petsmart is among the
companies urging Arizona Governor Jan Brewer to veto a bill which
opponents say would allow individuals and businesses to discriminate
against gay people.
The measure, titled SB 1062, created an
uproar after it cleared the House and Senate late last week.
A Brewer spokesperson on Tuesday denied
reports that she had decided to veto the measure, which states that
individuals and businesses can refuse service based on their
religious beliefs.
Appearing on CNBC, David Lenhardt, CEO
of Petsmart, said the bill was bad for business.
"We absolutely would like to see the
governor veto this bill," Lenhardt said. "We think it's bad for
Arizona business. We think it's bad for the people of Arizona."
"At Petsmart, diversity and inclusion
is a key piece of who we are. It's a key piece of our culture. We
fundamentally believe our communities, our customers, and our
associates all deserve equal respect, and this bill does not do that.
And that's why we are absolutely opposed to it and urging the
governor to veto it."
