McCarthy The President' also said he always has regarded commentator Ed- ward R. Murrow, assailed by Mc- Carthy, as a friend. The President's remarks were at a White House news conference, during which he also said the United States has no need to de- velop a hydrogen bomb bigger than the one it already has. Sen. McCarthy said Tuesday night thai: research on America's H-bomb was deliberately stalled for 18 months despite information that Russia was pushing j similar project. He asked if this delay would have been possible if there had not been Communists in the American government. The senator's speech was in re- ply to a program, critical of bis activities, by Murrow. McCarthy called Murrow "the leader and the cleverest of -the jackal pack which is always found at the throat of anyone who dares to expose Communists and trait- Eisenhower told questioners he knew nothing about McCarthy's broadcast and had never heard of any delay in H-bomb development. Questioned further, he said he was very close to the chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission Lewis L. the chair- man never has mentioned such a thing to him. Eisenhower went on to say he didn't recall ever having any phil- osophical discussions with Murrow. He said that in London, during World War II, he always thought of Murrow as a friend.

The Wauwatosa jurist who ascended to the high court from a Mil- waukee circuit judgeship in January on an appointment by Gov. Kohler won the full term over William Dieterich, 56, Hartford attorney.

Take, for example, the final test in the current test series in the Pacific. This is supposed to develop a power of 40 megatons, or about times the power of the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima. Even this may be an underesti- mate, however, since advance esti- mates have an odd way of going wrong, where the hydrogen bomb hower was supreme commander of Allied Powers. Bombs Big Enough The President was asked at the outset of today's news conference whether the United States con- templates making "bigger and big- ger" hydrogen bombs. He replied this country has no intention of going into a program of seeing how big a bomb it can make. He said he knows of no military requirement that would lead to the development of a bomb bigger than the type already in use. Obviously he was referring to the two hydrogen weapons tested last month in the far Pacific. He said the scientists have spec- ulated a bomb can be made of un- limited enough to blow a hole in the earth's but he made it plain he regarded the size of the bomb exploded in the Pacific as the greatest that can be used with maximum ef- ficiency.

"Information of great importance to national defense continues to be derived from this test Chairman Lewis L. Strauss of the Atomic Energy Commission said in a statement. He added: "As in the previous instance in preparation for these tests the Naval and Air Force units at- tached to the task force carefully searched the area both visually and by radar for possible shipping." The brief announcement did not specifically identify this test as a thermonuclear, or H-bomb, test. However, it was'described as the third in the present series. The two earlier March 1 and March H-bomb devices and this third one presumably did so also. Japs Burned By H-Bomb Likely to Die TOKYO Japanese doctor said today he had "no optimism" for the recovery of some of the 23 Japanese fishermen burned by radioactive ash from the March 1 H-bomb blast at Bikini.

He did not say how many are dangerously ill, but previously two of the 23 were listed as criti- Giving Britain Veto Right on Bomb Opposed Knowland Reports Agreement With Allies Changed By JACK BELL WASHINGTON senators of both parties made it clear today they are opposed to giving Great Britain or any other ally a veto on American use of the hydrogen Sen.Johnson Backs Knowland Support Plan Free Nations Cautioned Against Appeasing Reds WASHINGTON Ei- senhower said today the free world simply can't afford greater losses to the Communists in Asia. Loss of Indochina and the rest of Southeast Asia would have in- calculable consequences, be told a news conference. Eisenhower said this country is conducting talks with its allies looking toward united action to keep Indochina free but he said no detailed course of action has been set at this time. He denied, in effect, widespread reports that the United States has asked six allies to join in a com- mon warning against further ag- gression by Communist China in any part of Southeast Asia. It wouldn't be right, Eisenhower said, for this country to propose an answer before there has been a joint study of the problem. Important to Free World But the question of what to do in Indochina is of the utmost im- portance to the whole free world, the President said, and is getting more attention than almost any other thing. WASHINGTON Mundt (R-SD) said today.a lawyer has Eisenhower said he doubts if Adlai Stevenson, 1952 Democratic presidential nominee, in a speech before the United Nations Association of Greater Chicago Tuesday, said that President Eisenhower's speech to the nation on atomic and other fears was one "I agree with heartily."

Hickenlooper (R-Iowa) pointed up the issue with a decla- ration in the Senate yesterday that former President Truman was "not correct" in saying that a World War II American-British agree- ment not to use the atomic bomb without the other's consent still was in effect. Truman, in Kansas City, had "no comment" on Hickenlooper's contradiction of his statement, but said, "The record speaks for it- self." Truman and others agreed the 1943 understanding would not cover the H-bomb. Treaty Changed Asserting that Hickenlooper was "absolutely Sen.

First H-Bomb The first hydrogen bomb, tested in November, 1952, was expected to generate power of less than one megaton, and developed instead about five megatons.

The third hydrogen bomb was supposed to develop a power of about three megatons, and most surprising of all, instead it devel- oped close to 17. Thus the forthcoming biggest of the big bangs, if it is permitted to go through on schedule, could quite conceivably fool the scien- tists asain, and develop several times the expected power.

Tippy, a pup of no special breed, was credited with saving 22 Hoi- stein cattle after lightning set a barn afire on the farm of Verd Classon near Austin. Classon said the roof was a mass of flames a few seconds after the lightning struck. "If it hadn't been for the dog, we wouldn't have been able to get any of the cattle out of the Classon added. Classon animals didn't want to leave the barn and would have gone back into the burning structure if Tippy hadn't kept barking and snapping at them. Two heifers, two calves, a bull and 20 tons of hay were lost when the 40 by 80-foot barn burned. No estimate was available on the loss. At Luverne, many residents were awakened by the loud honking of geese that swooped down on the town during a thunderstorm short- ly after midnight. The flock kept circling above the lights of the town until the storm died down.

"But if we are attacked, we will strike back and there will be no time for any consultation." Secretary of State Dulles has in- dicated that a situation might arise in which such retaliation would be launched in respdnse to Commu- nist aggression which did not in- volve a direct attack on this coun- try. Will Consult Sen. Maybank (D-SC) said he thinks it proper to consult with al- lies about attempts to outlaw use of hydrogen weapons. But if war comes, he-said, it will be all-out from the start "and we can't af- ford to have any commitments that would tie us down." Chairman Wiley (R-Wis) of the Senate Foreign Relations commit- tee said the 1943 agreements has served its purpose and he sees no reason to renew it now. Wiley said it is obvious, how- ever, that the British would have to be consulted on American use of their bases to launch H-bomb or A-bomb attacks in case of war, and Knowland agreed. the Senate Investigations Subcommittee, conducting the probe.

The United States announced March 26 a pledge of emergency aid under which 25 more American B26 fighter-bombers would be sent to Indochina for French use, along with ammunition and other sup- plies. The planes were to be provided on a temporary loan basis for use in keeping up round-the-clock aerial blasts at the Communist-led Viet- minh besieging the French Union fortress of Dien Bien Phu. There has been no announcement yet that the planes and emergency supplies have been sent.

Almost simultaneously with the President's news conference. Sec- retary of State Dulles was discus- sing Indochina at the Republican Women's Centennial Conference here. The Secretary of State said the United States is seeking to develop a united will among friendly na- tions interested in the Southeast Asian area which would doom Red China's ambitions there to defeat. Dulles said that if present ne- gotiations produce such a will and make the stand of the free nations sufficiently clear then there would be less need for "united action" to save Indochina from Com- munism. But he declared grimly that the potential danger to free world in- terests in the area is very great and there exists the risk of a 'great disaster" there. Backed by Democrat At the Capitol, Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas threw Democra- tic weight behind a stand by Sen. Knowland (R-Calif) that the free nations should "step up and be counted" on measures to resist Communist aggression in Indo- china. Johnson, the Senate's Democrat- ic leader, praised Knowland's stand He insisted he could be, but he quit, he said, because he "would not want the credibility of the pro- ceedings to be handicapped from the very outset by any alleged word, deed or commitment that I might have uttered in the past."

He declined to elaborate. Mundt disclosed late yesterday the subcommittee had asked the Supreme Court about the [propri- ety of having a federal judge take the counsel post, and that the jus- tices unanimously advised against such a-step. He said Chief Justice Warren reported "they felt it would estab- lish a dangerous precedent which would not be in the best public interest." The bid would have gone to Judge Harold Medina of the 2nd U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals if the justices had approved the idea, Mundt said, Bus Plunges Through Bridge, 16 Drown URFA, Turkey pas- sengers drowned and 24 were in- jured when a wooden bridge col- lapsed and the bus carrying them plunged into the Evlap River near this town in southeast Turkey Tues- day. There have been reports abroad that the United States is trying to arrange for a five-power warn- ing to the Chinese Communists against any major aggressive move toward Indochina and South- east Asia in general. President Eisenhower has ear- marked nearly one-third of next year's foreign aid budget for military and economic help to Indochina. The budget, sent to Congress yesterday, cuts foreign aid funds over a billion dollars, including a slash of 58 per cent in European assistance. This proposal was reported to have been discussed with congres- sional leaders of both parties at a State Department conference last week. Atk Joint Stand It reportedly would call for a joint declaration by the United States, Britain, France, Australia and New Zealand. A State Department spokesman refused to confirm the report of plans for a warning, but said Dulles had discussed the Southeast Asia situation with representatives of the countries named, as well as of Thailand and the Philippines. ;

Rebel Priest in the Time of Tyrants
Full Product Description
Claude Lacaille witnessed up close the oppression and poverty in Haiti, Ecuador, and Chile where dictators and predatory imperialists ruled. Like other advocates of Liberation Theology, he saw it as his duty to join the resistance, particularly against Chilean military dictator Augusto Pinochet. But the dictators were not alone, as they often enjoyed the support of the Vatican, sometimes tacit, but then brazenly open under Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI. He began writing this book in Chile where thousands shed blood simply because they defended victims of dictatorship, opposed rapacious policies and economic doctrines, consoled the downtrodden, and breathed new hope and courage into a people who desperately needed it. These men and women remain an inspiration for those who still believe in a better world. This is the story of Claude Lacaille's experience from 1965 through 1986 in the slums and squats in the Caribbean and South America and also what it really means to have a preferential option for the poor. His book shows how liberation theology and spirituality enkindled the life and the work of an ordinary Quebec missionary.

So instead if starting a new thread I figured I will ask my question here since it's related.
Looking at my front trunnion I can clearly see how far the old barrel was pressed in. I have a virgin barrel on the way, so my question being: Is the mark inside the trunnion a good starting point on how far to press the new barrel in?
Im going to end up using one of the all thread methods to pull it in, and my fear is going too far initially, then having a hell of a time backing it out. Im going to rent the gauges and headspace properly, I just want to get close and avoid as many headaches as possible.

Team preview: Monmouth
Blue Ribbon Illustrated previews the 2004-05 college basketball season, exclusively on Insider.
The Hawks will be looking to buck the odds when they take the court this season to defend their NEC Tournament title.
The league has not had a repeat champion since Rider in 1992-93 and 1993-94, but Monmouth believes it has the players to snap that streak
"I think our guys are ready to go," coach Dave Calloway said.
Monmouth got a head start on its title defense with a five-game trip to Spain this summer. However, the Hawks were without their best player, 6-7 senior forward Blake Hamilton, because of an injury. The first-team all-conference Hamilton (16.3 ppg, 6.4 rpg) broke his foot in the spring and Calloway held him out as a precaution.
"We are slowly getting him ready," Calloway said. "We want to make sure he's fully recovered."

2008 Dakota 4.7
I'm fairly certain that a 2008 Dakota 4.7 is pretty much no help to any of us with a ratched 99-00 4.7,but I thought I'd throw it out to the experts here.There is one for sale local for a good price,its just not gonna work anyway in an older Jeep,is it?
Re: 2008 Dakota 4.7
id assume the short block is all the same, you will probably just have to swap all the accesories and intake from your wj to the new motor
Re: 2008 Dakota 4.7
Isn't the 2008 4.7L Gen II?
Re: 2008 Dakota 4.7
Re: 2008 Dakota 4.7
I figured so,I have found a 4.7 in a 2002 Dodge 1500 for a good price how difficult will that swap be into a 99?High miles but not knocking or smoking,would it be worthwhile dropping the pan and spinning in new bearings,or best to just leave it alone?

Pressure for Thome? Not really
Whatever pressure the Phillies feel to win this year, it's been-here-done-that for team leader Jim Thome.
Originally Published: June 7, 2004By Tony Gwynn | Special to ESPN Insider
The Philadelphia Phillies haven't made the playoffs since 1993, but expectations are definitely high this season. Philly fans hope that the offseason acquisition of closer Billy Wagner is the final piece of a World Series puzzle.
For first baseman Jim Thome, being the leader of a team with high expectations is just part of the deal. Pressure? What pressure? It's simply normal, everyday, been-here-done-that for Thome.
When the Phillies got off to a 1-6 start this season, sure, maybe Thome felt some pressure. But since then, the Phillies have recovered and are challenging the defending world champion Florida Marlins for first place in the NL East.

What is the significance of the opening scene of Macbeth?
3 Answers | Add Yours
The opening scene of Macbeth helps to set the tone for the rest of the play. The witches, meeting amidst a gathering storm, announce their intention to find Macbeth after the battle. They do not say what their intention is, but it is clear that they mean evil, and the gloomy atmosphere, with "fog and filthy air," only adds to the sense of impending doom. As they depart, they sing a rhyme, "fair is foul, and foul is fair," that foretells the play's focus on deception and appearances, as well as on evil itself. It is a short scene, but it tells the audience much about what is to come.
The short and precise opening scene sets the tone for the play in a general and philosophical way. It is a universal evocation of the problem of evil in the moral universe of man.
1. The scene foregrounds the witches and thus the role of the supernatural in the play.
2. They are three in number; three is the mystical number.
3. They speak in Trochaic as opposed to the general Iambic rhythm of the play. There is a distinction drawn between the human and the supernatural even on the level of accentuation.
4. They speak in an ironic order and sequence, though they are agents of disorder and anarchy.
5. The scene builds up great suspense around the absent figure of Macbeth who seems to be the centre of their attention.
6. The setting of the scene, the heath along with the thunder and rain create the ideal aura.
7. The scene has great contemporary popular appeal given that witches were so popular figures of imagination in Elizabethan England.
8. The 'battle' motif introduces the moral conflicts of the play. It is a battle that can be both lost and won.
9. The words of the witches set up the important theme of equivocation. The element of redundancy in their speech, as their prophecy would reveal is lethal.
10. Most importantly the scene ends with the maxim of the play. We know what to expect now. The black and white binary of good and evil is deconstructed as the deadly chiasmic utterance projects the ambivalent mutuality of the fair and the foul, of which the tragedy of Macbeth is soon to become an example.
The play begins with the appearence of the witches, the instruments of darkness, as a symbolic dramatic setting for gloom, horror and guilt. They are the embodied agents who search for the evil instincts of man to agitate him. The architect of the dormant impact of the play is Macbeth, and the witches are the suppliers of raw materials.
The place where the witches meet is all wild and desolate and weather inclement. Such a place and such a time are most suitable for the mysterious and mischievous creatures that appear hardly earthly, roam on this earth. This place is connotation with the evil instinct of humanity.
Macbeth is disturbed profoundly, emotionally tumult, mentally stirred. His dormant guilt tends to jaunt on the surface. But Banquo remains level-headed, stand mentally sound to the prophecies.
In fact, the prophetic greetings of the witches include Macbeth's past, present and future.
What was within comes without and Macbeth's dreadful desires to commit the deadly deeds on the sly gains momentum.
Macbeth would hold the King as the father-figure, and Lady Macbeth has taken in her husband's perspective in herself.

Product Information
My daughter is graduating from college and we needed a graduation cap for her service dog. Found Baxterboo on line. The cap is utterly perfect. It looks great but is also really well made and designed. The ear loops and chin strap are adjustable and make it fit well. Looks relatively comfortable. Can't wait to wear it for the ceremony! Thank you!
I have a 3-pound morkie--she is tiny! But this graduation cap fits my dog Holly well, thanks to the adjustable strap. I love how cute she looks in it. Now she and I have a matching graduation cap, and I can call her Dr. Holly too! :)

After 80 Arrests, Protest Enters Second Week
About 80 people were arrested when protesters camped out near the New York Stock Exchange for more than a week marched to Union Square over the weekend, police said.
Most of the arrests stemming from an Occupy Wall Street protest Saturday were for disorderly conduct and in one case pepper spray was used after an individual confronted a police officer, according to NYPD spokesman Paul Browne.
"Those who resist arrest can expect some measure of force," Browne said, noting that "pepper spray was used once after individuals confronted officers and tried to prevent them from deploying a mesh barrier - something that was edited out or otherwise not captured in the video."
The group, which had been protesting in Lower Manhattan for more than a week, is comprised of activists critical of corporate influence over politics and demanding higher taxes on high-income individuals.
Demonstrator Elena Spence said she and others were roughly handled by officers before the pepper-spraying began, and that no one received a forewarning from the police before the chaos.
"It turned so quickly from something very peaceful to something very scary," said the 23-year-old military widow from Buffalo, N.Y., "and the violence wasn't instigated by any of the protesters. It was instigated by the cops."
Casey O'Neill, of Oakland, Calif., said he felt the anti-Wall street protests would help facilitate change.
"I actually quit my job and got a one-way ticket here for the protests," he said. "I just felt like in a lot ways this was the last hope for some type of real change."

Come and enjoy Michigan at our Cottage. During the day enjoy access to the private beach, playground and tennis courts or take a hike at Warren Dunes State Park. In the evening take a winery/brewery tour, a romantic dinner out or go for an adventure on the dunes. This is a great spot for anyone seeking a quiet beach getaway that fits their budget.
It's a 1 hour and 40 minute drive from Chicago, IL. Don't have a car? Don't need one to come to the cottage. AmTrak station is 10.5 miles away, and comes 3 times a day from Chicago.
This is our 4th time renting this house lots of updates since the frist time always clean great location nice private beach and close to Warren Dunes always have a good time and will continue to rent every summer. Owners are great to work with and response to your emails in a timely manner.
We have been coming to this house for several years and we always enjoy it. It meets all of our needs including location, amenities, comfort, affordability, closeness to the beach, and dog friendly policy. The wifi makes it possible to work and be connected if necessary. It is close to all of the wonderful activities in southwestern Michigan. We will continue to come here as long as it is available.

The trip didn't start well. We arrived and found that the electricity to the half of the house did not work and had to reset the circuit breaker in the basement to get electricity. Then, we went upstairs and things got worse. The upstairs smells moldy and my whole family had allergic reaction because of the mold. We did not have good sleep for the two nights because everyone was sneezing and couldn't breathe too well.
I chose this property based on it's location and that it has internet. On those two features this house is fantastic. It's a short walk/drive to the private community beach which is beautiful and great for kids. The internet also worked great which was important for my husband who had to work during the week. The house was ready and clean when we arrived. We enjoyed the screened in front porch and the fire pit in the backyard. However it is worth noting that the layout of this house is unusual. There is one bedroom on the first floor with a double and a futon both squeaked terribly. The bathroom on the first floor is right off the kitchen next to the kitchen sink and doesn't have a lock. You walk through the king bedroom to access the queen bedroom and the 2nd floor bath. The beds were not terribly comfortable. If you are ok with the basic necessities this will work.
We had a great time on vacation in Sawyer. The house was ready when we arrived. We really appreciated the wifi and being able to bring our dog. The cottage was a short walk to the beach and an easy drive to other southwestern Michigan cities.
My family of 5 rented this home during July 2013. It lived up to it's expectations. Quiet and had an amazing beach. It wasn't in walking distance for my family (3 children under 5!) but it could be. If you choose to drive though, its a short 2 minute drive with plenty of parking. The home was clean and nice. We had no issues while there and the owner was quick to respond to questions and issues (we forgot the key pad numbers to unlock the house! and she responded in less then 5 minutes with a text). There was plenty of room to spread out and I loved sitting on the front porch in the mornings. I highly recommend this home if you are looking for a great spot that is affordable!

HOOPS REPORT: Maymon to Remain a Presence
Though a challenging test awaits the Tennessee basketball team Wednesday when it opens Southeastern Conference play by hosting Ole Miss (8:05 p.m. ET, SEC Network), the biggest hoops news coming out of Rocky Top Monday surrounded the announcement that forward Jeronne Maymon is going to redshirt this season.
The preseason first-team All-SEC selection had off-season knee surgery in the spring and then suffered a setback in his rehab in October. Maymon had yet to practice with the Vols this season, and the decision has now been made that he will not attempt to return until the 2013-14 campaign, at which time he'll be a fifth-year senior.
Although his imposing frontcourt presence and statistical production will be missed as the Volunteers embark on SEC play, the Madison, Wis., native still plans to have an impact on this team's fortunes.
"Coach (Martin) told me a while back that he doesn't want me rehabbing during practice," Maymon said. "He wants me to out here talking to the guys, helping them out and letting them pick my brain from what I know from actually being out there and playing the game."
Maymon has been the team's most vocal cheerleader from the bench this season. But he acknowledged that being forced to watch and not participate has been a challenge.
"It's been miserable, but I try to keep my enthusiasm up and let (my teammates) know that I'm there for them," Maymon said. "I'm going to show my support - whether we're up or whether we're down - I'm going to stay the same and try to stay level."
Junior wing Jordan McRae, who is averaging a team-best 16.0 points per game in UT's last three contests, affirmed that Maymon's presence is still felt amongst the team.
"Even though he's not playing, he's still a huge part of our team," McRae said. "He talks in practice. During the games he's always talking to us. He's like another coach out there for us."
While Maymon looks forward to returning to action next season, there is a downside for the team-oriented big man.
"It's kind of sad because I won't be able to play with Kenny Hall and Skylar McBee and the rest of the seniors that I've been playing with for so long," Maymon said. "So it's a bittersweet feeling, but I'm ready.
"I'm getting better every day, and I'm getting stronger every day and that's really the most important part."
Tuesday's "Emphasis of the Day" - daily midcourt talking points spearheaded by head coach Cuonzo Martin prior to each practice - posed a simple question.
What will you do with the moments you have left?

IRVINE, Calif. --- Tommy Reyes's bunt on a squeeze play with one out in the eighth drove in the eventual game-winning run in a narrow 3-2 victory for UC Irvine Thursday at Cicerone Field Anteater Ballpark. The win lifts UCI to 7-3 in the Big West (25-9 overall) while UC Davis drops to 8-23 overall and 2-5 in league play.
With the score deadlocked at 2-2, Jordan Leyland began the Anteater rally in the eighth with a leadoff double to center. A failed pickoff throw by reliever Ryan Lucas put Leyland on third. Left-fielder David Popkins came on in relief and induced a pop-fly to third to secure the first out. The Aggies intentionally walked centerfielder Scott Gottschling and pitcher Matt Summers to set the scene for Reyes, who bunted the ball up the first-base line. Pitcher Tom Briner, who was called in to pitch to Reyes, jumped on the ball but would be too late to make a play at the plate.
UCI took a 2-0 lead on a pair of singles in the fifth. With Jon Hurst on third via a leadoff walk, a sacrifice bunt and a single by D.J. Crumlich, Sean Madigan drove in Hurst for the first run of the game with a single through the right side. Crumlich was cut down at third on the double steal for the second out but Madigan took third on a wild pitch before Brian Hernandez hit a line-drive hit off the glove of starter Dayne Quist for a run-scoring single.
The Aggies rallied, cutting the lead to one in the sixth on Scott Heylman's two-out hit to right-field to drive in Brett Morgan from second. UC Davis then evened the game a two runs apiece in the seventh with Daniel Cepin delivering the two-out clutch hit to score Scott Lyman.
UC Davis had runners on first and second with two outs in the eighth but Summers induced a grounder to third to end the threat.
Hernandez pitched a perfect ninth, striking out two to pick up his eighth save of the season.
Summers collected his sixth victory (6-2) after tying a career-high eight innings and holding UC Davis to two runs on six hits. Summers held the Aggies scoreless through five innings and faced the minimum through 3.2 innings.
Offensively Hernandez went 4 for 4 with an RBI to lead UCI while Leyland and Shaeffer each batted 2 for 4. Madigan and Reyes both totaled a RBI on one hit.
Quist left the game with the score tied at 2-2, pitching 6.1 innings and striking out three while giving up two runs on nine hits. Lucas suffered the loss, falling to 0-3.
The series continues Friday at 6:30 p.m.

2011 saw the SRA called in to investigate three high-profile cases of alleged expenses fraud, while negligence actions abounded and the phone-hacking scandal dominated the headlines
It is often the case that times of crisis expose financial wrongdoing – just look at Bernard Madoff's investment scheme fraud, or the MPs and Lords expenses scandals – and this summer saw the exposure of three alleged cases of expenses fraud involving lawyers at big City firms.
The first case to come to public attention was that of senior Hogan Lovells litigator Christopher Grierson. Grierson was dismissed from the firm's partnership after an internal investigation uncovered false expenses claims amounting to £1m. Grierson is alleged to have filed claims mainly for flights booked and not taken, with the repayments from cancelling the flights going to his account rather than the firm's.
After coming under intense pressure, Hogan Lovells went on to report Grierson to both the SRA and the City of London Police. Grierson was charged with four counts of false accounting by the City of London police on 5 December and will appear in the City of London Magistrates' Court in January.
The second case to emerge involved former Addleshaw Goddard partner Mark Gilbert. According to the firm, Gilbert resigned from Addleshaws after "an internal investigation discovered apparent discrepancies relating to expenses and disbursements".
At the same time Gilbert joined Devonshires as a consultant. He denied any wrongdoing and Addleshaws added that no clients had been affected. Like the Grierson case, Gilbert's was referred to the SRA.
The third – and financially most significant – case involved former Ince & Co partner Andrew Iyer.
Iyer resigned after a period of suspension for "irregular financial behaviour" in July 2010, but it emerged in May that Ince had referred the case to the Metropolitan Police and the SRA.
What marks the Iyer case out from the Grierson and Gilbert allegations is that clients could have been affected. Iyer is alleged to have moved £3m of client money into accounts in his name.
Ince said that, when the case was discovered, "we immediately took steps to ensure no clients would suffer any loss".
Realtime reaction
All three cases were greeted with a mixture of shock, surprise and irony on TheLawyer.com, with commentators remarking on the strong reputations of Grierson and Iyer in particular.
Several noted that Grierson had practised insolvency and fraud litigation. Indeed, one of his best-known cases was defending Bank of Credit & Commerce International (BCCI) liquidator Deloitte & Touche in its fraud claim against the Bank of England. He also had a role in post-Madoff litigation.
The SRA investigations into all three cases are understood to be ongoing.
Negligence claims: law firms in the frame
Law firms of all shapes and sizes have been hit by a number of high-profile professional negligence claims during the course of 2011. Some have been settled or won, while others are still hanging over the firms concerned.
By far the biggest case filed against a firm this year was London Underground's (LUL) £141.96m claim against Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer. LUL is claiming that Freshfields was negligent in the drafting of contracts relating to a PPP deal with Metronet. The claim was only filed in the summer and is yet to reach the courts. Freshfields is determined to fight the case "vigorously".
Fellow magic circle firm Linklaters was hit by two claims, both of which it settled. The biggest was launched by Credit Suisse in February, claiming that Linklaters had been negligent in its advice over a convertible bond issue from the Brazilian subsidiary of Italian dairy company Parmalat.
Linklaters' former alliance partner Gianni Origoni Grippo & Partners was dragged into the case when the magic circle firm claimed that the Italian firm had provided it with negligent advice on the deal.
A number of City firms, including Allen & Overy, Slaughter and May, Clyde & Co and CMS Cameron McKenna, picked up advisory work on the negligence claim. But the parties settled for an undisclosed sum in October, before the case could go to trial.
Linklaters also settled a negligence claim brought by former client Levicom, a Baltic telecoms company, for £13m, two years after Mr Justice Andrew Smith ordered the firm to pay just £5 in damages.
There was better news for other firms. Mace & Jones, Mills & Reeve and Beachcroft all successfully fought negligence claims through the courts, winning cases worth £800,000, £1.3m and £2m respectively.
Pinsent Masons went to court in August in a bid to strike out a £10m claim brought by Shepherd Construction, and judgment is awaited.
Other firms to have faced negligence claims this year include Withers, which went to court in March over a £700,000 claim brought by a former client before settling on confidential terms. Withers was then hit by a breach of contract claim in December from another client.
Meanwhile, Collyer Bristow is defending itself against a £50m claim currently being heard before Mr Justice Hamblen that has also led to a dispute with the firm's insurance broker. Judgment will be handed down next year.
Phone-Hacking: the legal winners and losers
The explosion of the phone-hacking scandal at The News of the World (NoW) has been one of the biggest legal stories of the year, leading to questions over the actions of in-house counsel and external lawyers as well as providing work for a host of solicitors and barristers.
The newspaper had already been facing civil claims alleging phone-hacking, with Mr Justice Vos assigned to oversee them. Six test cases will be heard in early 2012, brought by MP Chris Bryant, former footballer Paul Gascoigne, football agent Sky Andrew, actor Jude Law, interior designer Kelly Hoppen and Sheila Henry, the mother of 7/7 victim Christian Small.
The group will be jointly represented by Matrix Chambers' Hugh Tomlinson QC on common issues, with other counsel including Jeremy Reed of Hogarth Chambers, David Sherbourne of5RB and Sara Mansoori, also of Matrix. Four firms are involved: Bindman & Partners, Steel & Shamash, Mishcon de Reya, Atkins Thomson and Taylor Hampton.
However, when allegations broke in July that NoW had paid a freelance detective to hack the phone of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler, the scandal reached another level. A House of Commons select committee has heard evidence on several occasions from News International executives, as well as from the lawyers advising them.
Prime Minister David Cameron also commissioned Lord Justice Leveson to lead an inquiry into phone-hacking. Leveson LJ began hearing evidence in mid-November and is scheduled to keep going well into the New Year.
It took just days for the scandal to claim its first legal victims. Farrer & Co had long been the legal adviser to News International, the publisher of NoW, but when the company decided itneeded to draw up a code of practice it turned to Olswang, coincidentally the long-time adviser to The Guardian, which broke the story in the first place. Olswang was then instructed
by News International with a much broader remit, elbowing out Farrers entirely.
Farrers partner Julian Pike was later alleged to have recommended that Mishcon de Reya partner Charlotte Harris and Taylor Hampton solicitor-advocate Mark Lewis, both acting for hacking victims, be placed under surveillance.
Harbottle & Lewis found itself having to defend advice previously given to News International.
Meanwhile, News International director of legal affairs Jon Chapman and general counsel Tom Crone both resigned from their positions shortly after the hacking scandal blew up. The duo had insisted that they had informed James Murdoch, chief executive of News International parent News Corporation, about emails revealing the extent of the affair.
However, there has been a number of legal winners in the affair. The profile of Harris and Lewis, for example, has skyrocketed on the back of their work for victims. Magic circle firms Allen & Overy (A&O), Clifford Chance and Linklaters have all grabbed a piece of the pie.
Linklaters is advising News International on its internal investigation, A&O associate Victoria Rankmore is on permanent secondment to the company to advise on compliance issues, and Clifford Chance litigation head Jeremy Sandelson is acting for James Murdoch.
On the barrister front, One Essex Court's Lord Grabiner QC is understood to be picking up £3,000 an hour chairing News International's management and standards committee. 39 Essex Street's Robert Jay QC has been appointed as counsel to the Leveson Inquiry. Sherborne, who is representing the 'core participants' in the inquiry as well as appearing in the civil claims in the High Court, is also attracting attention.
Meanwhile, Berwin Leighton Paisner partner Graham Shear is involved in the affair in a different way. Shear has filed a breach of privacy claim against NoW after being told his phone could have been hacked. Like many others, he will have to wait until 2012 to have the matter resolved.
We said:
"The problem is that law firms have to work on the basis that you can trust partners – especially, as in Grierson's case, if they're seen as jolly good chaps. The person in the lowly accounts department who challenged his version of events deserves, therefore, a round of applause."
Catrin Griffiths, leader, 23 May
"If possession really were nine tenths of the law, then former Hogan Lovells litigator Christopher Grierson would only be faced with paying back £100,000 to his erstwhile partners."
Lawyer News Daily, 17 May
"[Ince & Co] suspended energy chief Andrew Iyer last July over what it called 'irregular financial behaviour'. Given the news that has come out of the City of late, the firm might want to change that to 'bordering on the semi-regular financial behaviour'."
Lawyer News Daily, 27 May

What is distinctive about the ways specific disciplines are traditionally taught, and what kinds of learning do they promote? Do they inspire the habits of the discipline itself, or do they inadvertently contradict or ignore those disciplines? By analyzing assumptions about often unexamined teaching practices, their history, and relevance in contemporary learning contexts, this book offers teachers a fresh way to both think about their impact on students and explore more effective ways to engage students in authentic habits and practices. This companion volume to Exploring Signature Pedagogies covers disciplines not addressed in the earlier volume and further expands the scope of inquiry by interrogating the teaching methods in interdisciplinary fields and a number of professions, critically returning to Lee S. Shulman's origins of the concept of signature pedagogies. This volume also differs from the first by including authors from across the United States, as well as Ireland and Australia. The first section examines the signature pedagogies in the humanities and fine arts fields of philosophy, foreign language instruction, communication, art and design, and arts entrepreneurship. The second section describes signature pedagogies in the social and natural sciences: political science, economics, and chemistry. Section three highlights the interdisciplinary fields of Ignatian pedagogy, women's studies, and disability studies; and the book concludes with four chapters on professional pedagogies - nursing, occupational therapy, social work, and teacher education - that illustrate how these pedagogies change as the social context changes, as their knowledge base expands, or as online delivery of instruction increases. -- Book Description.

LONDON, May 4. -- Notwithstanding that the street cars and ordinary bus services were suspended the streets when London's working day began this morning were packed as never before in their history with motor vehicles. Though there was an average of only one bus to about twenty-five ordinarily, other vehicles had multiplied overnight to a fantastic total.

It is based on a military chassis with the heritage of the 469 which is like their Hummer or Jeep (Willy's thing) in Russia. There is this saying that, "Cars are not luxury but means of transportation" A fact why Russia has been producing 1960's looking cars and technology til now. But thanks to other partners from outside, the assembly line is now in the 90's. If we think, Mercedes are like tanks, but Russian cars such as UAZ, GAZ, VAZ and Moskvich to name a few are literally like tanks except mechanically. (You may be interested in seeing Top Gears - Communist car test). There is also a saying that UAZ cars can go anywhere that other cars can't go. It's true, the simple and reliable mechanical are very easy to fix, though not as reliable as any Japanese manufacturer, any Russian driver is a mechanic because there is another saying that "If you buy a Russian vehicle, you will be an auto mechanic in no time" - That is because Russian cars are mostly DIY's.
Here's a good old picture of a UAZ 469
And a modern version, UAZ Hunter fitted with dashboard, better instrument panel and comfortable seats as a luxury version.
Rumor says that the price of the UAZ Hunter in the Russian market is at near $6000.00, not bad compared to the Chinese we get here aye?!
*You know lately I have been hooked' by the history of UAZ after playing the UAZ 4X4 game (been addicted to 4X4 games ) and it hooked me again by reading a little bit of Russian history and contacting some 'brothers' in Russia. I think it's a wonderful country, hopefully, they can as with us find peace as well.

Common Ground on Energy
George Shultz and Thomas Steyer say bipartisanship is possible
Two players active in shaping energy policy and awareness about global warming, George P. Shultz and Thomas F. Steyer, found common ground in a discussion with Wall Street Journal Managing Editor Gerard Baker about politics and climate change. Mr. Shultz held a number of cabinet positions in several Republican administrations. Mr. Steyer, founder of the San Francisco-based hedge fund Farallon Capital Management, is a fundraiser for Democrats.

Edited excerpts of their remarks follow.
On a bipartisan energy policy
MR. SHULTZ: There are two obvious things. The first is that there are genuine problems affecting our national security, our economy and our environment, including the climate. And there are also obvious solutions, things that we can do.
So since the problems are obvious and the things to do are obvious, you have to figure that sooner or later, even the guys in Washington will get it.
MR. STEYER: I think it is accepted wisdom that the chance of there being any significant energy bill coming out of Congress by 2014 is highly unlikely. So what are the things that we can realistically expect out of D.C.?
I think the action will be to try and support some of the initiatives that George, in particular, has pushed really hard, which is to fund research and development. I also think that there's going to be a lot of discussion, and some more EPA action over the next two years, of regulating existing power plants.
On dealing with climate change
MR. SHULTZ: This afternoon, I mentioned the Montreal Protocol [a treaty designed to protect the ozone layer]. It was different than climate change, but nevertheless, there were people who thought there was a problem and there were people, scientists, who doubted it. But they all agreed there was a big consequence if it happened.
Ronald Reagan didn't say, "You people who are skeptical are wrong and I'm going to push your nose in the mud and I'm going to try to convince you." He said, "Look, let's take out an insurance policy. At least, maybe in the back of your mind, you might say, maybe you're wrong. And the insurance policy is not necessarily going to cost us forever."
So he brought them into the tent and got support. I think what should happen now is the same sort of thing.
MR. STEYER: People under 30 perceive this as something that will impact their lives in a major negative way unless it's dealt with. But friends who are around 60 have said to me, "I'm never going to deal with this. It's not going to impact my life." From my point of view, the biggest question is how long is this going to take before we have a real problem?
The way George expressed timing was also the way he expressed risk—through insurance. Should we spend some money now to avoid a huge problem in the future? That is a way to take away the issue of "Is this really true?" I don't need to convince you that you're wrong. You just have to admit that it's possible we could be right and that we should spend some money to avoid it.
