The body was exhumed and a pathologist said Marshall pro- bably was murdered. At the time of his death, a justice of the peace decided it was suicide. In a copyright story, the Dallas News said the President's person- al interest prompted ,his brother, Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy, to order the FBI to step up its in- vestigation. Marshall was shot five times. A bolt action..22 caliber rifle was found near the body.

Estes business interests involving millions liquid fertili- zer sales, elevators collecting huge sums from the government for storing surplus grain, and ex- tensive farms have been placed in the hands of a receiver. In addition, House and Senate committees are investigating charges that Estes distributed cash and expensive gifts to win preferential treatment by govern- ment officials. "If it could be proved conclu- sively that Marshall was a sui- cide; or that, if he was mur- dered, it had nothing to do with the Estes case, the political pres- sure against the Democrats would be said the News.

He may see French President Charles de Gaulle and British Prime Minis- ter Harold Macmrilan. Rusk .confirmed to a news con- ference Thursday that arrange- ments for a trip are being worked out. From other sources it was learned that he wants to talk to Adenauer about U.S.-Soviet discus- sions on a Berlin settlement and about future moves for greater Western European political unity, which the United States strongly supports. Whether Rusk sees De Gaulle probably will be determined by progress in his conferences here with French Ambassador Herve Alphand. Rusk and.Alphand met for two hours Monday and for 90 minutes Thursday on Paris-Wash- ington policy differences. They ap- parently have no'hope at present of ending major differences over De Gaulle's determination to give France an independent nuclear i weapons force and his desire, to i promote a European grouping of I national states with looser U.S. tics. Rusk reasserted at his news conference that the United States is completely opposed to the De Gaulle plan for a French nuclear force.-In response to.a specific question he said the United States would not favor- Britain's supply- ing nuclear weapons to France. Rusk also challenged critics 'of administration foreign policy to come up with'proposals for alter- native lines of-policy development if 'they'really "believe th'afthe'ad- ministration is following a no win- course. Sen. Barry Goldwater, has accused the. government- of having a "no win" policy in the cold war. Rusk rejected the charge but said "there is: one- point on which we do have to show some caution and that is the notion that victory in its usual sense is to be achieved by sudden military means." He declared that the .United States is promoting development of the Atlantic community, build- ing up its alliances, trying 'to ex- pand trade, assisting countries in need and strengthening the .soli- darity of the Free World.

Still Defiant Eichmann Walks Calmly To Gallows TEL AVIV, Israel fiant to the end, Adolf Eictimann walked firmly to the gallows Thursday night and paid with his life for his role in Nazi Germany's systematic extermination of 6 mil- lion European Jews. The young state of Israel hanged the former Gestapo co ncl at two minutes before mid- night on an improvised scaffold in a third-story storeroom of Ramleh Prison near Tel Aviv. It was the first execution in the 14-year history of this Jewish na-, tion which counts among its citi- zens thousands of relatives of Jews whom Eichmann, 56, helped speed to death in Hitler's gas chambers. Eichmann's body was cremated quickly and the ashes scattered upon the. waters of the Mediter- ranean. Eichmann was cool and unre- pentant as this Jewish nation car- ried to conclusion its announced determination to record the. his- tory of the Nazi pogrom and mete out justice in the name of all Jews. A faint smile on his face, Eich- mann spurned the traditional black hood and even< chided his jailers for making it difficult for him .to stand on the gallows' trap door.

Economics, Development Economics, Agricultural Economics, Principles of
Management, Project Evaluation, Marketing Management, and Micro Finance.
Prof. Senanayake was a prolific researcher as well as an accomplished
writer. This is very well justified by the large number of books,
chapters, articles and monographs written and published either by he
himself alone or jointly with fellow academics. Prof. Senanayake has
also served as a consultant to a large number of governmental agencies
and international organizations over the last thirty years. The most
important among the international agencies which have obtained Prof.
Senanayake's services as a consultant are the World Bank, the Asian
Development Bank, USAID, NORAD, GTZ, JICA, FAO, UNDP and SAARC.
Prof. Senanayake, was appointed by the Ministry of Plantations, as a
Member of the Central Board of Directors of the State Plantations
Corporation during the period between 1995 and 2001 and as Chairman of
the Commission of Inquiry on the Performance of the Dambulla and
Keppetipola Dedicated Economic Zones appointed by the Ministry of Rural
Economy of the Government of Sri Lanka in 2003.
Over the years, Prof. Senanayake had also closely associated with the
work of Sri Lanka Economic Association. He was elected as its Secretary
which he held for three years from 1989 to 1992. Once again he was
elected as the Vice President of the Association and held that position
for two years from 2005 to 2007.
The recently published book, "Agriculture and Rural Development in
Sri Lanka, is a sequel of the untiring efforts of a group of academics
in the Department of Economics at the university of Colombo and some of
his friends outside the university who have been keen to pay tribute to
their eminent colleague and friend, Prof. S.M.P. Senanayake for his vast
academic contributions.
In the face of economic liberalization and globalisation, Sri Lanka's
agricultural sector faces enormous challenges. This sector, once
protected by stringent tariff and non-tariff barriers, has now been
exposed to foreign competition under the trade agreements with the World
Trade Organization (WTO) which provide legal ground-rules for a free
global trading system.
In terms of the rules pertaining to the agricultural agreements, the
member countries of the WTO are committed to formulate market-oriented
policies with regard to market access, domestic support and export
subsidies. In the backdrop or these market-oriented policy initiatives,
the question is whether the agricultural sector of Sri Lanka has been
able to face the global competition.
Given the current challenges faced by the agricultural sector in the
midst of global competition, climate change, food insecurity,
productivity limitations and rural poverty, this volume is a timely
publication. Several distinguished economists in the country have
contributed papers to this volume which is edited by Rev. Dr.
Wijithapura Wimalaratana, a Senior Lecturer in the Dept. of Economics,
University of Colombo.

Ele it is amazing but you will find the frogs will discover it in no time, bog plants around the edge look great, good luck.
Both plants grow very large in a short time, we have grown both, to see the difference look at Google Images, it is the leaf that differs, it is a very attractive plant, but does need space!!
In the spring we lift ours, cut them down, and replant deeper, was told this by Heuchera expert (gold Medalist winners) also you can trim them again later on in the year, I do agree they do respond well by taking cuttings, well some do!! Do watch out for the dreaded vine weevil, they love them.....
We have just pruned our 10 years old pink Escallonia, loads of dead branches again. and our new Escallonia Iveyi has lost lots of it's leaves and the rest are yellow?.....this is a seaside shrub, we live 3 mins from the sea, ia a fairly sheltered garden, what are we doing wrong?
We live in the Portsmouth area and came across a couple of mating frogs in our tiny barrel pond,..... I do believe this to be early.
Last year we sank a small half barrel in a small area of our garden planted it up with a water lily, oxygenating plants, and surrounded the whole thing with a bog garden and bog plants, installed a pump and we had three frogs visit in the Summer. This week we came across a couple of mating frogs!!
I am all for wildlife friendly gadens, but when you have a Badger breaking down your fences, digging up the lawn, my patience runs out, we are both pensioners and now open our garden for the NGS, any help with keeping out unwanted animals, cats, etc out would be helpful?
This is the first time I have used the site, so far so good, so easy to add photos, really pleased with all the new idea....well done.
The birds think it is Spring, but I am not taking any risks, February can be a very treacherous month, had quite a frost last night, nothing too serious though.
Ivy once established grows very fast, and dense, so you would have a fair amount of weight on your hut....can it take it? we grow a lot of ivy,but, cut it down every year to keep it under control.

Down, But Far From Out
If you thought venture capitalists had wearied of all things related to the Internet, think again. Despite the beating e-commerce and content outfits took in the public markets last year, VCs still poured $5.52 billion into such companies during the fourth quarter, according to figures from Venture Economics and the National Venture Capital Assn. In all, Internet-related deals swallowed $7.93 billion in the last three months of 2000 -- more than any other industry, including communications, software, or biotechnology.
Of course, those figures don't approach the overheated volume of a year ago. In the last three months of 1999, e-commerce and content companies captured $9.5 billion in venture capital, and all Internet-related deals took in $11.8 billion.
There are other signs of a slowdown as well. On the whole, fourth-quarter VC investments totaled $19.6 billion, down from $28.3 billion in the third quarter and the lowest level since the third quarter of 1999. At the same time, VCs grew more cautious, concentrating more than half their fourth-quarter investments in expansion-stage companies. Startups and early-stage companies, by contrast, absorbed just 23% of the cash.
One likely explanation: With the IPO markets depressed, VCs are left without a quick exit strategy. So they're concentrating most of their time and money on companies in which they've already invested. For entrepreneurs looking for first-time capital, that made the last few months of 2000 a lonely stretch.

Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen Parent Review
Despite being based on a kid's toy and marketed to a family audience, the near nonstop violence, sexual banter and language makes these Transformers anything but child's play.
Movie Review
Autobots? Decepticons? If you don't know what these terms mean, you soon will after sitting through 150 minutes of mechanical mayhem in this sequel to the 2007 movie that launched the Transformers toy franchise into the cinematic stratosphere.
NEW: Listen to our Parent Previews Podcast and take control of media and technology in your family!
Disguised as cars, machinery and every other mechanical device imaginable, these alien creatures have been living on our planet since ancient times. I can't tell you why they are really here (because then there would be no reason to endure the subwoofer serenade), but I can say the bad Decepticons are trying to find a little shard of metal from something called The Allspark (a plot point in the first movie). That trinket will get them access to another prize called the Matrix of Leadership, which will allow them to overcome the good Autobots. It's pure videogame stuff except you don't get to hold a controller with a pause button.
Once again, Sam (Shia LaBeouf) is at the center of the action. About to leave home to attend Princeton (we can't help but wonder how he attained such scholastic glory), his mother (Julie White) provides a sobbing goodbye while dad (Kevin Dunn) happily packs his bags. Meanwhile Mikaela (Megan Fox), the girlfriend he is leaving behind (who is styled like a porn star throughout this film) is looking forward to regular webcam meetings.
Although the students and campus look more like Hefner's guests at the Playboy mansion than a academic institution, the eager freshman barely has time to look around before stumbling across an Internet clip showing a robot attack in China. Well, okay, he does get momentarily sidetracked by a blonde babe (Isabel Lucas) who throws herself on top of him. Her true nature is quickly revealed however, when she releases a mechanical tongue that embeds into Sam's apparently vacant brain information that will later be used to fight against the robotic forces of evil. Putting Princeton on hold, Sam is joined by Mikaela on a quest to save the world. Let the battles begin!
Written at the level of an eight-year-old, yet including mature sexual jokes and comments (including dogs and robots in heat), this film manipulates its young captive audience with the deftness of a sledgehammer. Endless epic battles with 360-degree camera dollies leave viewers dizzy with confusion. And it's nearly impossible to tell the good guys from the bad guys. While countless humans are presumably dead from the carnage, there are thankfully few details. Such is not the case with the robots. While they may not be made of flesh, they die in very explicit ways with blood-like fluids gushing from their mangled, metal bodies.
As eye candy for older males, there are plenty of slow motion shots of Megan Fox running, and running, and running all while wearing a strappy, little shirt that will never qualify her for best "supported" actress. With bombs falling like rain and the men cut up, burned and dying, her character somehow manages to endure. Her pouty lips remain freshly glossed and her lashes continue to hold up pounds of mascara. (No wonder many young men have unreasonable expectations of what a woman should look like after a hard day's work.)
And then there are Sam's parents. Depicted as happily married and concerned for their son, these positive elements are lost when Mom consumes some pot-laced brownies and becomes uncontrollably amorous.
So, despite being based on a kid's toy and marketed to a family audience, the near nonstop violence, sexual banter and language (that includes one use of "the" sexual expletive plus many derivations), makes these Transformers anything but child's play.Starring Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson and John Turturro. Running time: 150 minutes. Theatrical release June 24, 2009. Updated July 21, 2016

Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen Parents Guide
Transformers were introduced in the mid-1980s. Most of the children who played with them would now be in their mid-twenties to early-thirties. How does this movie try and capture that audience, while attempting to generate interest in the toys for young potential purchasers?
What are your feelings about using a toy aimed at young children in an adult context? Do marketers have a moral obligation to ensure products associated with young childrens toys are presented in a manner suitable for that age group?

(snipped) A campus club is encouraging physicians to scribble a dose of physical activity on their prescription pads.
By Dominique Delmas, Communications Intern
A group of students is working to encourage doctors to prescribe physical activity for the treatment and prevention of disease and illness.
"We want people to recognize how potent of an effect exercise can have on physical and mental health. Research has shown that if exercise is prescribed from your doctor, the likelihood that you'll try and start a program is much higher," says Andrea Brennan, co-president of Exercise is Medicine Canada at Queen's (EIMC @ Queen's).

The Ruby on Rails team was friendly and really went above and beyond in giving us a quality product. They never left us in the dark and worked with our budget and the varying difficulties along the way. They were there to help us in coming up with solutions to problems that we didn't expect; That worked out for both our budget and time-frame. We are looking forward to continue our relationship…."
The staff at Andolasoft were very timely and professional.

Date of Stay: September, 2012
We have stayed in this park many times. The rate reflects our Thousand Trails membership. The last reviewer was wrong on some facts. There are 200 full hook up with 50 amp. There are also 200 water and sewer only which are only 30 amp. There is no boondocking as they stated. There are a few sites in the lower water and sewer only sites that were damaged by a flood last year, but all the FHU 50 amp sites are fine. They remodeled the bathrooms last year, and also resurfaced the pool and the pool area and there is a new jacuzzi. They also remodeled the clubhouse. Another reviewer said there a 70% permanent residents. There is probably only about 30% at this time. All around, it is a nice park with some improvements being made, and it's on the beautiful Peace River. They have free WI-Fi in the clubhouse . We will definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: July, 2012
We stayed through our Resorts of Distinction membership. This was a great park. They have made a lot of improvements. The entrance, office area, clubhouse area, and the indoor pool building all have beautiful and very well taken care of landscaping. The grounds are groomed and mowed. There are large, beautiful cabins here too. The new owner is planning more improvements. The indoor pool is large and clean. There is Wi-Fi in the clubhouse. We had a nice site, across from the lake, with 50 amp and full hook up and a paved road. Will definitely stay here again.

Hudson-Bergen Light Rail loses millions each year
The Hudson-Bergen Light Rail system is one of New Jersey Transit's biggest money losers — and will remain that way even as it becomes more expensive to ride.
A service that many say boosts the state's economy earns barely a third of the money that's spent to run the $45 million-a-year line. Now critics wonder how a system that's become increasingly costly for commuters — and depends on an honor system for ticket collection — can sustain itself as it expands into Bergen County by 2015.
"The PATH has a system where you have to buy a ticket to get through the turnstile," said state Assemblyman John Wisniewski, who is chairman of the Transportation Committee. "Why aren't we considering that?"
NJ Transit officials say a 10 percent fare increase that took effect May 1 will do little to make the electric trolley service profitable — even though ridership and revenues have more than quadrupled over the past eight years.
Light rail, however, still has Governor Christie's strong backing despite the fact he's made scaling back costly services in NJ Transit's budget a priority, officials say.
"A growing amount of people like the service and I think we're going to see it continue to grow when the economy takes off," said Jim Weinstein, executive director of NJ Transit.
Even NJ Transit's critics want the agency to pursue light rail as long as the state establishes dedicated, stable revenue sources that — unlike fares — don't depend on ridership for revenues.
The Hudson-Bergen line, which runs from North Bergen to Bayonne, has helped spawn more than 3,000 housing units in Jersey City, and more retail and residential development is planned near Liberty State Park.
The light rail's revenues have leveled off in recent years, rising 1 percent between 2008 and 2009 after years of double-digit growth. The cost of running the 23-stop light-rail line has risen 36 percent since 2006, NJ Transit officials said.
"It has shown significant impact, but it should have a stable, reliable funding source," said Martin Robbins, who heads the Transportation Policy Institute at Rutgers University.
The service has already lost more than $23 million this year after running deficits of $29.7 million and $31.4 million in fiscal 2008 and 2009, respectively.
Indeed, the only rail services that earn less are the River Line that runs between Trenton and Camden, and the Atlantic City Line. About 30 percent of the Hudson-Bergen's costs are covered by revenues — down from 31 percent in 2008.
Weinstein acknowledged that the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail could even lose ridership and revenue this year because of the 10 percent fare hike. He said the entire railroad system has lost about 3.5 percent of its riders since the higher fares went into effect May 1.
"We think there is going to be some diversion — there is always some diversion when you raise fares," he said. "But we think people will come back after they divert."
Some question how profitable the line could be when NJ Transit relies on inspectors to make impromptu sweeps to make sure passengers buy tickets.
Though NJ Transit officials say the evasion rate is about 2 percent, riders say they've rarely — if ever — seen inspectors check for tickets.
Brian Winokur, who works in Weehawken, said he consistently buys a monthly pass but routinely sees people riding without tickets. "It's unfair," he said.
"I ride this every day during the workweek and once or twice on the weekends and I've only been checked once a month, at most," Winoker said. "Sometimes, I've gone a full month without being checked."
The situation worries lawmakers who say the agency should invest in technology and equipment — such as ticket booths and turnstiles — that track riders on the 20-mile line and ensure that they pay.
"If you're not investing in the technology, that can't help," said Wisniewski. "It's such a big system."
The agency, however, won't put in turnstiles or other payment checkpoints because they would be too costly and could impede accessibility to the light rail, said Penny Bassett-Hackett, a NJ Transit spokeswoman.

J.J. Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese Riesling 2007
Riesling from Mosel, Germany
Winemaker's Notes
Silky, harmonious and refined, with apricot, apple, lime and mineral aromas and flavors on a light-weight frame. Balanced, its hidden structure evident in the tanginess on the finish and lingering aftertaste of baked apple.
Serve this refreshing wine slightly chilled! As apéritif or – especially when more matured - in combination with seafood and poultry, but also red meat. Exciting match also with Asian and Pacific Rim cuisine.
Critical Acclaim
Wine & Spirits - "This is an archetypal Prum Auslese, from its aristrocratic poise and silky finesse to its vibrant energy and crystalline complexity. It's sleek fruit is succulent rather than overly rich, and its subtle, mineral-drenched flavors unfold in kaleidoscopic detail on a long and fragrant finish. At the same time, its youthfulness is almost painfully evident, a reminder that drinking this wine in optimum maturity is a pleasure that won't be experienced for at least two or three decades."
International Wine Cellar - "Pale golden yellow. Classy bouquet of ripe apple, vanilla and sweet herbs. Rich on the palate, with a salty, resinous character and undeniably sweet apricot fruit. Unctuous yet vibrantly spicy, with a long, complex finish. This still needs time but will be a great auslese."
Wine Spectator - "Pungent aromas of slate and flowers give way to peach and lime in this unevolved Riesling. The texture is supersilky, with great harmony among all the elements. Terrific length. Needs time. Best from 2014 through 2040. "

About Mosel-Saar-RuwerView a map of Mosel-Saar-Ruwer wineries(moe-ZELL saahr -RUE-wehr)The Mosel river winds its way through this wine region, passing by some of the steepest, most northerly vineyards of the world. The wines from the Mosel have a most distinctive soil based on slate. The slate-rich soils covering the region are what imparts the amazing, well-loved slate-y, mineraly flavors and aromas to the delicate Mosel wines. To keep this necessary slate in tact, when the rock slide down the steep vineyard hillsides, the vineyard workers grab a bucket and carry the rocks right back up to the vines. There is a level of care taken in the vineyards of Mosel that rivals most other regions. Tasting the wines helps to understand why.
Notable FactsRiesling is the grape of the Mosel – the combination of this grape with the slate soils is what makes Mosel wines so breathtakingly delicate. Common descriptors of the Mosel Rieslings include steely acidity, wet stone and delicate texture. Lower in alcohol and high in acidity, the wines are still balanced with the rich flavors of Riesling and the slate-y flavors from the soil. Two districts (or Bereiche) that you find most often on Mosel labels are Bernkastel and Zell. Both are good producers of wine from this region. Many other good wines are coming from the area – just look to make sure the bottle says "Riesling" on the label – that's a sign of quality.
About Germany
White Wine GuruWith some of the steepest and northernmost vineyards in the world, as well as the coolest climate, Germany produces some of the best white wines in the world, mainly Riesling. Delicate, age-worthy, intense and elegant are the typical descriptions for these wines. Note that "sweet" is not a common descriptor because the idea that most German wines are sweet is just not so. In fact, the majority of wines made in Germany are dry and more recently, the country is exporting value wines that are easy to drink, extremely food friendly and, luckily for some, containing labels that are easier to read!
The classification system of Germany is somewhat confusing. Like the rest of the old world, there's some hierarchy to it all. The categories are: Tafelwien (table wine), Landwein (land wine, similar to France's Vin de Pays) and the first "Q" level, QbA. QbA wines are easy-drinking and inexpensive – the only requirement being that the wine must come from one of Germany's thirteen official wine growing regions. The final level is QmP, which is the strictest level of German wines. The qualification consists of 6 levels, based on ripeness level at harvest, though that does not always translate into sweetness level.
Here are a few definitions to help in picking out a German QmP wine:
Kabinett(cab-ee-NET)The driest level, Kabinett is usually light-bodied, low to medium in alcohol, and fairly dry. Great everyday wine and food-friendly.
Spatlese(shpate-LAY-zuh)Grapes are picked a bit later than Kabinett (Spatlese means late harvest) and have a fuller, more intense body. Most wines of this level are dry although some are off-dry.
Auslese(OWSE-lay-zuh)Wines of this level are made from select grapes harvested even later than Spatlese. The grapes are selected in bunches to make sure they are of the perfect ripeness level. One step up in both body and sweetness, Auslese wines are balanced but with a bit more sweetness – perfect with spicy Indian food.
Beerenauslese(bare-ehn-owse-lay-zuh)The longer the words get, the higher up in sweetness level you rise. Like Auslese, the grapes are selected individually, but while Auslese is selected bunches, Beerenauslese are selected berries, and usually berries affected by botrytis, or noble rot, so you have an even more specific wine, which, in turn, increases both its sweetness level and its price.
Trockenbeerenauslese(trok-ehn-bare-ehn-owse-lay-zuh)Okay, so Trocken means dry in German and yet this wine is the sweetest of the German levels. The "trocken" comes into play as the berries picked for this wine are dried, intensifying the sugars. So the wine is made from late-harvest dried berries affected with botrytis - a combination that makes a decadent (and expensive!) bottle of wine. A treat if you are able to ever try one.

Peer Court is a joint venture between Communities in Schools of Brunswick County and District Attorney Rex Gore.
It is an alternative system of justice that offers first time juvenile offenders between the ages of 11-16 an opportunity to admit responsibility for their offenses and receive constructive sentencing from their peers.
Chargeable offenses may include truancy, disorderly conduct, simple affray, simple assault and others.
"Mommy, I want sumpin' to drink," wailed the unhappy toddler from the backseat. "I want juice."
"I know, honey," I said. "I'll get you some when I get home. Mommy's driving right now."
"Oh-kay," he said whimpering.
I glanced in the rearview mirror. My 2-year-old son was slumped in his car seat, sticking Spiderman and Blue's Clues stickers on my car's back window. He appeared to be occupied for the moment.
BOLIVIA—A 69-year-old man who was sentenced to life in prison for a first-degree murder conviction in 2006 was awarded a new trial, but on Monday he accepted a plea agreement for second-degree murder instead.
Thomas Duncan pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for the 2005 slaying of his daughter-in-law Jonetta Duncan, assistant district attorney Lee Bollinger said.
Superior Court Judge Doug Sasser sentenced Duncan to 189 months to 236 months in the North Carolina Department of Corrections.
Sometimes, when there is not enough space for a hedge or a shrub, but a screen is needed, vines may be the answer.
Vines help add privacy, camouflage wire fences, hide an unsightly wall, or add character to tight places. They can create a shade buffer from the hot sun on the side of a building or cover a romantic walkway into a garden "room." There are several vines both popular and appropriate for use in gardens of North Carolina.
Monday night, Brunswick County Commissioners approved a contract between the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office and the U.S. Marshals Service to house federal inmates at the Brunswick County Detention Center in Bolivia.
Brunswick County Manager Marty Lawing said the detention center was designed and constructed to house 444 inmates.
"The inmate population has leveled off and declined," Lawing said.
Somewhere along the line I learned a valuable, on-the-job lesson—follow the money.
Let me rephrase that—always follow the money.
There might be some twists and turns along the way, but, more often than not, it will usually take you to where you want to go.
This fiscal rule of thumb pertains to politicians and government officials who are in or are yet to be in office. Campaign finance reports, for instance, are like a window into a candidate's brain. You thought I was going to say soul, didn't you?
BOLIVIA—Two men were convicted of drug charges and sentenced as habitual felons in Brunswick County Superior Court on Monday, July 19.
According to assistant district attorney Chris Thomas, Eddie Lee Hill Jr. pleaded guilty to possession with intent to manufacture, sell or deliver cocaine. He was sentenced to 50 to 67 months in the North Carolina Department of Corrections.

Despite spending the majority of their time in different cities and over 400 miles apart, hotly-tipped production duo Blackwax, otherwise known as Luke Dubuis and Ross Addy, are making all the right waves so far following their debut release on Dutch imprint Tube10 early last year. Splitting their time between Edinburgh and London when they can, the pair have recently found themselves at the forefront of a new school of grime-centric thinking that has birthed talents such as Wen, Visionist and Samename, amongst others, over the last 12 months. Ignoring traditional 140bpm blueprints, it is a sound that captures grime's raw authenticity at varying tempos and in varying guises; in Blackwax's case, a mutual love of jungle is noted as one of their biggest influences.
Having recently remixed Youngstar's seminal grime anthem 'Pulse X' as part of Liminal Sounds debut release in January, Tomas Fraser was lucky enough to catch up with both Luke and Ross on the challenges of working together, dealing with criticism and 'not making happy music' giving them ample opportunity to better frame the latest mix in the grime focused Sonic Router x Uncle Albert Mix series.
Sonic Router: For those who might not know be familiar, could you introduce yourself for us?
Blackwax: We're Blackwax- a duo based both in Edinburgh and London. We released our debut EP entitled 'Offkey' about a year ago on Dutch imprint Tube10 (home to people likeDistal, TRG, DJ Madd, DJG) and have since released a free track with Liminal sounds entitled 'Trapped'. Apart from that we've been pretty quiet due to the fact we no longer live in the same city – but that's going to change.
As a production-duo, how do you manage to harmonize your ideas creatively?
It's a very long process – especially since we no longer live close to each other. That being said, the best of our ideas come when we're both in the same room, as it's much simpler to communicate ideas.
We both come from different musical backgrounds and have different tastes to a certain degree, so our sound definitely comes out when we both can have an effect on the music in real time. When sharing projects online it can be very easy for one of us to take the track in a direction the other person disagrees with. We're by no means that fastest producers out there, we like to take our time and refine our ideas so that we're both happy with what we put out.
You're often mentioned in the same breath as producers like Visionist and Wen, who, as I've mentioned, are both seemingly spearheading a new brand of grime at varying tempos and arrangements. How would you describe the sound you try to push?
It's hard to say really as we have so many different genres and feelings that influence the music we make. Trying to describe the sound we want to push with a genre label would just sound clumsy and stupid.
We both have a love for jungle and I think that's somewhat noticeable in our productions. Coming from club backgrounds, making music for us has always been geared towards the dancefloor and big sound systems, and subsequently the low end is where we tend to focus our efforts. We don't make happy music if that means anything…
You've recently remixed Youngstar's definitive 'Pulse X' alongside Visionist, Slackk, Pedro 123 and Elsewhere for Liminal Sounds. How did you approach going about it? How did it feel to be given the opportunity?
Approaching the remix was difficult – it's a classic, so we didn't want to do something absolutely out there that nobody could appreciate or recognise. We have something like 8 different projects for the remix, all of which were on different tips. The version that came to be stood out to us because it was simple yet injected the energy and attitude of the original in a different way (we hope).
'Pulse X' is an incredibly raw tune – and to make it more complex would only detract from it. It was pretty daunting to have to remix such a renowned track, especially with the knowledge that Visionist was also working on a remix – being a friend, there was a bit of an (un)spoken competition that happened! All we could do was try to do our best and hope that Youngstar was happy with it.
Your mix features everyone from Hackman & Tessela to Skepta and Wiley – how did you go about the selection process?
It wasn't really particularly thought out in any way – some of them are mixes of old and new tracks that we love that work nicely together, others are productions we just had to include – Wen, Brunks, Beneath, Breen, Bloom, Facta and Mssingno in particular.
There is a definite sound that we are feeling at the moment, and if I'm being honest – a lot of it is coming from people experimenting in the 120-130bpm range – think Keysound affiliated artists such as – Wen, Visionist and Beneath. Visionist in particular – his sound is really unique and it just keeps on getting better. His digital label Lost Codes is also putting out some seriously interesting music – check out Bloom's 'Zing Panther' for a taste of what's to come. The irony is we didn't even include one of his tracks!
We have a ton of great tracks we didn't manage to put in there just because we couldn't think where to fit them in. Producers such as Dark0, Last Japan, Riffs, Samename come to mind…So shouts to them!
Looking ahead, what can we expect from Blackwax over the course of 2013?
We're taking 12 days at the start of February to meet up and work solidly on music – this will be the first opportunity in a very long time. The aim is to get enough music finished to work with for the next few months. We've been so busy with work (Luke) and University (Ross) that it's been difficult to really even think about making tracks – especially as a duo.
We've also got a few really interesting collaborations and remixes lined up that we shouldn't probably speak about just yet. We're really slow at getting things done and don't want to make announcements this early on.
We both also have our own things going that we do under the Blackwax name – Ross runs a weekly night in Edinburgh called Witness that has been putting on shows for almost 2 years.
Ross: With a 100 capacity venue I have had the chance to put on some big names (everyone from Ras G to Lunice) in an intimate venue. We've also used Witness to begin to promote Scottish talent: last month we released a free EP that featured the likes of DFRNT, Atlus, Fault Lines and more. We also intend to release music from Taz (Numbers/Rwina) under his BF Hoodrich alias as well as more local talent in the future.
Luke: I have also just recently announced a bi monthly radio show called Circadian Rhythms with Last Japan on NTS. I've always wanted to be involved in radio and being able to do it with a good friend is a great feeling. We've got a lot of plans for it and really hope to build on it. The aim is not just to mix solidly for 2 hours – we want to showcase artists we think people need to hear about, as well as play music that we're listening to outside of bass music culture.

Softbank CEO's Son Plans Data Push to Disrupt U.S. Market
Softbank Corp. (9984) President Masayoshi Son said his planned $20 billion investment in Sprint Nextel Corp. (S) brings growth opportunities well beyond phones in a U.S. market dominated by Verizon Wireless and AT&T Inc.
Son said he wants to repeat the success he had while building Softbank into Japan's third-largest wireless carrier by taking market share from entrenched giants and delivering more data to smartphones, tablets, cars and even bicycles. The company gets more than two-thirds of its revenue from data services, about double the average in the U.S., he said.
While Son didn't exclude more deals, such as buying MetroPCS Communications Inc. (PCS), he said his current focus is on completing Softbank's purchase of a 70 percent stake in Overland Park, Kansas-based Sprint. His goal is to become the No. 1 carrier in the world in terms of revenue, surpassing Verizon and China Mobile Ltd. (941)
"You say the market is overly saturated. I think that's totally wrong," Son said yesterday at Bloomberg's headquarters in New York in a joint interview with Sprint Chief Executive Officer Dan Hesse.
"Each subscriber should have at least two subscriptions: one for a smartphone, one for a tablet. I would say in the near future three lines, four lines, five lines per capita is possible," Son said.
IPhone Traffic
Softbank has been No. 1 in annual net subscriber additions in Japan since 2007, helped by its exclusive deal to sell Apple Inc. (AAPL)'s iPhone until last year and discount packages offering monthly base rates of 980 yen ($12.35). The carrier added more users in August than larger competitors NTT DoCoMo Inc. (9437) and KDDI Corp. (9433), and had 30.1 million subscribers in Japan at the end of the month, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"When I acquired Vodafone Japan, they said, 'Oh it's a saturated market. You come so late! And you have no experience. What is your strategy? How do you fight? You're going to lose all your subscribers'," Son said. "I said, 'Well I understand your concern but I'm not going to talk about my strategy.'"
"Actually I already had Steve Jobs say he would give me the iPhone, before it was announced," Son said. "The iPhone was not announced; Steve and I were very deeply discussing it. I never talked about that in public."
"So if I didn't have any interesting strategy, I wouldn't bet $20 billion" on Sprint, he said.
Softbank is adding base stations and Wi-Fi spots in Japan as increasing sales of smartphones put pressure on its network. The company added capacity with its 180 billion-yen ($2.3 billion) acquisition of competitor eAccess Ltd. (9427) this month, and it announced plans to spend 1.55 trillion yen on equipment in the three years ending March 2014.
Duopoly Opportunity
While Son said he considered investments in companies outside the U.S., Sprint was the best choice because it has the ability to challenge Verizon Wireless and AT&T's dominance of the U.S. mobile-phone industry. The Softbank investment will give Sprint the capital to pay down debt, invest in its network or continue to make deals in the U.S. wireless industry.
"Anything you can think of, I have thought about," Son said. "Don't rule out anything."
Softbank, based in Tokyo, will provide $8 billion in new capital as part of the deal to bolster Sprint, the third-largest U.S. wireless operator. Sprint, which has said it will play a role in industry consolidation, previously had to pass on chances to grow because of its weak balance sheet.
"We will no longer need to forgo investment opportunities. We have the flexibility that we just never had before," Hesse said in the interview. "We are not on the sidelines. This deal does not stop us from doing anything."
Deutsche Telekom, T-Mobile
Deutsche Telekom AG (DTE), Germany's biggest phone company, announced plans this month to merge its T-Mobile USA division with MetroPCS. The move, which would create a bigger competitor to Sprint, raised speculation among some investors that Hesse might step in to counterbid.
Softbank's backing may provide Hesse, 59, with enough sway to alter the competitive dynamics of the U.S. industry. Hesse, who took over Sprint five years ago in the aftermath of the failed Nextel merger, has had his hands tied with $23.7 billion in debt, a subscriber base that has lost 7.7 million monthly contract subscribers and not a single annual profit since he started. When the deal with Softbank closes, Nextel will be dropped from the Sprint Nextel name, Hesse said yesterday. Sprint also has plans to shut down the Nextel network in the first half of 2013.
Still, Sprint shares more than doubled this year before the announcement of Softbank's investment, a sharp contrast to 2011, when investors questioned Sprint management's credibility and a proposed merger between AT&T (T) and T-Mobile USA threatened to dwarf Sprint as a distant third player. That deal was rejected by U.S. regulators.
"I would have never invested even $1,000 if AT&T had successfully acquired T-Mobile, because then that's 'game over'" with a stronger duopoly forming, Son said. "If it had happened, I wouldn't come to this market."
Sprint slipped 2.3 percent to close at $5.65 today in New York.
Open Market
The U.S. offers advantages not present in all markets, Son said.
"The U.S. is very open -- the most open country, and the most fair country for challengers," Son said. "Whatever's good for the consumers, the U.S. government tends to accept that -- for the interests of the consumers, not for the interests of a particular company."

Bill would require Idaho to compare state, private prison costs
After Idaho's state Board of Correction refused to consider state operation as it seeks a new operator for a troubled privately run prison south of Boise, a state lawmaker has drafted legislation requiring all state agencies to consider that option when they solicit bids. Rep. John Gannon, D-Boise, said he's not convinced the state is saving any money by paying Corrections Corp. of America $30 million a year to operate the Idaho Correctional Center. "There is a view that private contractors can perform functions less expensively, but I think sometimes they can't," he said. Gannon is now circulating his proposed bill, trying to get discussion going among lawmakers.
In late June, the state Board of Correction voted to seek new bids to operate the Idaho Correctional Center starting next year, but rejected the idea of considering state operation as well. Board Chairwoman Robin Sandy said at the time that state operation would grow Idaho's government, which she opposed. "There would be several hundred more state employees," she said. Five years ago, the state Department of Correction sought permission from Gov. Butch Otter and the board to submit its own bid for comparison, but the board refused, and Otter deferred to the board.
His spokesman, Jon Hanian, said Wednesday that Otter's position hasn't changed. "The governor doesn't seek to micromanage his agencies," Hanian said.
Gannon drafted his bill after reviewing pay figures from other states showing that Idaho's wages for prison guards far below those in most states; he said that shows that private prison companies can operate more cheaply in some states – but not in Idaho. House Speaker Scott Bedke, R-Oakley, was non-committal Wednesday on the idea of legislation, but said, "I don't think it's a bad thing to bid it, to get a price from either side. … You would think that would be just a good practice."

Six Injured in Shootout, High Speed Chase
CLINTON (WTVD) - Six people were injured early Monday morning after a shootout and high speed chase in Sampson County.
Clinton police said the occupants of two vehicles were involved a dispute after leaving a backyard club. This led to a high speed chase, where gunshots were exchanged between the two vehicles.
One vehicle, an Acura Legend, struck an innocent bystander vehicle, a Ford F-150. This forced the F-150 to crash into a telephone pole just before 4:30 a.m. The truck slammed into a utility pole and flipped over. The Acura stopped cold with massive damage.
Shortly after the crash, the other vehicle involved in the shootout, a white Pontiac, arrived. Then the two exchanged gunfire again, and the driver of the Pontiac fled the scene.
The two people in the F-150, Ray and Cassandra Cuvilje, of Harrells, N.C., were taken to Sampson Regional Medical Center. Ray was treated and released, while Cassandra remains in critical condition.
"They were innocent bystanders who happened to be riding down the road at the wrong spot at the wrong time when they got struck in the rear," Clinton Police Assistant Chief Jay Tilley said.
Three people inside the Acura Legend were also taken to the hospital. Two suffered gunshot wounds. A fourth person from the Acura later showed up at the hospital by himself.
Officials said Highway 24 will be closed until at least 5 p.m.
Police are still searching for one person. The Pontiac has been located, but not the driver.
"We are seeking the people that were involved in the other vehicle that we have seized. We hope to have some answers in a few days," Tilley said.

had a lip enhancement injected to the top lip. 3 months after the procedure I was left with hard moveable pea like lumps under the skin. Thesse lumps have now increased in quantity and size and entered my cheeks, lower lip and are of larger size. Stupidly I kept no information the Harley Street Dr, or the product that was used. Juverderm rings a bell, but I'm not 100% sure on this? The roof of my mouth is also stinging. These hard peal like balls move about?
I Have Moveable Lumps Following Lip Enhancement, What's The Cause? What Can I Do?
Doctor Answers 3
See a plastic surgeon
Web reference: https://www.edelsteincosmetic.com/
Lip Lumps
harly street is the most expensive district in London.
it could be Juvederm but usualy it does not stay that long.
If you think it is Juvederm then try Hyalurinidase, if it does not disolve it then direct excision of the lumps
I'd suggest you see a board-certified physician
First, I'm unsure what a "Harley Street Dr" is, but the fact that you can't find this injector would seem to be a giant red flag! I would suggest you see a board-certified physician - either a plastic surgeon or a dermatologist - for an evaluation. Large lumps that move like this are not normal and cause great concern. If it was Juvederm or another HA filler it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. In all honesty, I've never seen or heard of bumps like this that are moving around from fillers like these and growing in size and quantity. Please make an appointment with an experienced physician.
