Lot 176
1957 Chevrolet Corvette
- Chassis no. E57S102469
Sold for $77,000
- A recent, show-quality restoration to National Corvette standards
- Just two owners from new; with original owner for nearly 50 years
- Rebuilt matching numbers 283 V-8, 1957 date-coded T10 four-speed
- Original three-speed manual transmission accompanies sale of the car
This striking, two-owner 1957 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible was purchased new by the original owner from Parkland Chevrolet of Asheville, North Carolina, and it has remained in the same area ever since. In 2006, the estate of the original owner sold the Corvette to the current owner, who commissioned a high quality, body-off restoration to NCCA show-quality standards that was completed over the next two years.
Finished in Red with Beige side coves, the Corvette was fitted with a new Tan convertible top and a complete interior from Al Knoch, with new components including the carpeting, dash pad, door panels, seats and seat rails. With a laser-straight body and a solid frame, the Corvette is powered by its original, matching-numbers 283/245 "dual quad" V-8, which was completely rebuilt by Barnes and Reese Racing Engines in October 2006. A Borg-Warner T10 four-speed manual transmission, with proper 1957 date codes, was rebuilt and installed. The rebuilt original three-speed manual transmission accompanies the sale of the car as well.
Desirable period features include such items as heater and radio delete, emergency brake warning light, courtesy lights, seat belts, hubcaps, off-road exhaust and 6.70 X 15 wide whitewall tires. Other factory-correct components include the spare tire, jack, jack tools, trunk mat and liner, rebound straps, shifter, shielding, air cleaner, generator and hood pop-ups. A high-quality example from the 1957 model year, representing what many enthusiasts consider the definitive turning point for "America's Sports Car," this show-quality Corvette is sure to please.

Princeton: Woods and Water Built This Town
Princeton benefited from its location on a river -- the St. Croix -- that was useful for transportation of people and lumber and for powering mills as well as on its proximity to forests.
Since the establishment of the area's first licensed hotel in 1681, Portland has had a dramatic, grand and boisterous hotel tradition. The Portland hotel industry has in many ways reflected the growth and development of the city itself. As Portland grew with greater numbers of people moving through the city or calling it home, the hotel business expanded to fit the increasing demand.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA NOW AND THEN (wanowandthen.com) needs all the support we can get. Please tell your friends about us.
HEMA Map reference 74/E3
Pinjarra is the starting point for the Hotham Valley Tourist Railway. Trains run at the following times: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, and Public Holidays 11am to 12.30pm and 2pm to 3.30pm. During school holidays, trains run daily.
The nearby Alcoa aluminium refinery is the largest in Australia. Alcoa donated the material to build a suspension bridge across the river and the work was carried out as a training exercise by the Australian Army's 22nd Construction Squadron in 1985.
The town has recently started to see a lot of development but hopefully it will retain its small country town charm for some time yet.
There is a pleasant campsite at Heron Point on the Harvey Estuary. There is also a boat ramp and crabbing is popular there.
The area was first explored in 1829 by Lt. Preston and Dr. Alexander Collie. The town was established in 1833 (one source quotes land being set aside in 1831 and land being allocated in 1837.) Pinjarra is an attractive country town which owes it's existence to people like Thomas Peel and the McLarty family.
Originally known as Pinjarrup by the Aborigines which is thought to mean place of the swamp. (Another source quotes the Pindjarup tribe as being the inspiration for the name.) East of Mandurah, Pinjarra is the starting point for the Hotham Valley Railway which still operates steam trains that take tourists on day trips up into the hills to Dwellingup.
A military outpost was established in the town site in 1830 and Lt. H.W. Bunbury was in charge. Bunbury liked the area and wanted to settle there but land prices were too high and he eventually transferred to Vasse. Governor Stirling was impressed with the work done by Lt. Bunbury and named a small townsite on the coast after him. This was later to become one of W.A.'s largest regional centres. Bunbury did not settle in W.A. and eventually returned to England.
In 1852 the soldiers were withdrawn and the barracks were taken over by the police force.
The 'Battle of Pinjarra' or 'The Pinjarra massacre'?
We have read a great deal about this particular event in Western Australian history and it remains today, one of the most contentious matters in European - Aboriginal relations.
At one time we presented two different versions of this event in an attempt to give the point of view from each side of the argument but we have recently read a definitive narrative of the battle written by someone who was there on the day.
Although the account is written by J.S. Roe and it is written from the European point of view, we believe that it illustrates quite clearly what happened on the day and the reasons the expedition was organised in the first place. Before Roe's account is given there needs to be a short discussion of what led to this event:
The tribe of Kal-yute had fiercely resisted the encroachment of European settlement and had been responsible for a number of attacks and killings. The European authorities obviously wanted to put a stop to this insurgence and an expedition was organised with the twin goals of establishing a new settlement in the heart of the tribe's territory and with locating and punishing the tribe for their actions against the settlers.
On October 27th 1834, James Stirling led an armed force south into what is now the Pinjarra area. The force he led was made up of: John Septimus Roe, Thomas Peel, Captain Theophilus Ellis, Julius Delmage, Patrick Heffron, Richard Goldsmith Meares, Seymour Meares, Charles R.B. Norcott, George Smythe, John Staunton plus 4 mounted police and 10 soldiers of the 21st Regiment.
Prior to the expedition's departure, both the military and the Executive Council were informed that the expedition was a surveying one and surveying work was carried out by Roe at what was to become the Pinjarra town site, although from Roe's own journal we clearly see that there was more to this expedition than just surveying.
The battle took place early in the morning. Stirling and his party were travelling south and had crossed the river (a) when they became aware of a large group of Aborigines (around 70-80) behind them on the north bank of the river (d). Stirling detailed Captain Ellis to take 4 men and go back to the Aboriginal encampment to question them about the earlier attack on Nesbit (c). Roe (unarmed) and 4 other men waited with supplies on the south side of the ford (b).
Stirling took the rest of the party east along the south bank making for a second ford some half a mile away (e).
Hearing gunfire from the camp Stirling and those on horseback doubled back along the south bank of the river.
Captain Ellis had gone into the Aboriginal camp looking for the killers of Nesbit. Norcott (one of the men accompanying Ellis) recognised Noonar who was wanted for the killing of Nesbit. Noonar threw a spear at Norcott who returned fire and the horsemen then charged the tribe which by this time were arming themselves with spears and starting to attack. Ellis was hit in the head by a spear and was to die of his wounds a few days later and Heffron was wounded. Three of the horsemen were unseated during the charge.
As Stirling's men arrived on the south bank of the river and spread out, the Aborigines came under increasing fire. As they retreated to the fords they found both occupied by the rest of Stirling's men and were caught in crossfire.
The tribesmen then retreated into the river taking cover in the reeds but as Stirling's men held the high ground on the opposite bank there was little if any cover.
The map below shows the progress of the battle.
At this point we can refer to Roe's journal entry about the incident and compare what he had to say with what has been said by others since:
'8.35 proceeded SE... ...heard the call of natives to the northward, being close at hand we made for them... ...advancing for the purpose of bringing on an interview... ...the natives although making much noise amongst themselves, would not answer the calls to them. Capt. Ellis and Mr. Norcott, with three of the mounted police were despatched across the ford to ascertain if the party belonged to the tribe of Kal-yute (which had recently committed some great outrages and for the purpose jointly with that of protection for the present exploring party the mounted force had accompanied us.) In a few minutes the loud shouting and yelling of the natives told us the whites were discovered and firing immediately commenced on the left bank... ...The firing continued upwards and followed the retreating voices of the natives for upwards of an hour.
On approach of the Police toward the natives, they started up from their fires, about 70 or 80 in number, and began retreating so soon however as it was ascertained that they were the obnoxious tribe, the firing commenced at full charge, in which the chief, Capt. Ellis was wounded in the temple and knocked off his horse by a spear... ...the same native wounded one of the police, P. Heffron, in the right arm so as to completely disable him... ...after the first charge which killed 4 or 5, the natives retreated to the river intending apparently to cross over by another ford 1/2 a mile lower down - in this they were completely frustrated by meeting the remainder of the armed force headed by the Governor... ...In this dilemma they took to hiding themselves amongst the bushes and dead logs of the river banks, and were picked off by the party on either shore. This was not however done without much resistance on the part of the natives... ...between 15 and 20 were shot dead, very few wounded being suffered to escape, until at length it being considered that punishment of the tribe for the numerous murders it had committed, was sufficiently exemplary... ...as the idea of prosecuting the object of our exped was now at an end, on account of the severe example made of the natives, at 10.5 am - remounted and proceeded tow mouth of Murray.'
The battle has often been called a 'massacre' and to the extent that Aboriginal deaths from the fight were substantial (best estimates put the those killed directly and those who later died from wounds at between 23 and 28) it would seem that this is a fair assessment. Unfortunately the word 'massacre' carries the implication that the natives were unarmed and were killed without resisting. This is insulting to the memory of those who died and does not take into account that the warriors obviously chose to stand and fight even though their weapons no match for European fire power.
A dictionary definition of the word massacre defines it as 'the unnecessary, indiscriminate killing of a large number of human beings or animals, as in barbarous warfare or persecution or for revenge or plunder.' It is no use in denying that what happened on the day does indeed fit this definition.
The fact that some 35% of the Aborigines present at the battle were killed seems to suggest that once the battle started Stirling's men got out of control and possibly, even probably, killed far more than they would have had to purely in self defence. It is impossible to say from this distance of years exactly what happened but the attack does not appear to have been pre-planned. Suggestions that the attack was an ambush by Stirling's men and that hundreds of Aborigines were killed have absolutely no basis and have never been substantiated.
It does appear, from everything we have been able to read, that it was the Aboriginal group that opened hostilities when Noonar attempted to spear Norcott when he knew he had been recognised.
F.C. Irwin (who had been administrator of the colony in Stirling's absence) has been blamed, in some sources, for the conditions that led up to the battle at Pinjarra. Irwin was a soldier first and an administrator second and had a very military view of how to deal with the Aborigines. His actions have been blamed for a lot of the resentment felt by Aboriginal tribes who are said to have even burned his effigy when he finally left the colony.
(Note: This action along with many others has been badly mis-represented by varying groups with different agendas. The job of the historian is to find and record the truth about past events and the use of this type of incident in a political sense is quite wrong as it promotes mis-information. This work has no agenda to push, we freely recognise that Australia was effectively invaded by Britain and that land was taken from the Aboriginal people by force. In telling the story of how and why this happened we believe that the truth is more important than the point scoring we have seen - mostly on internet sites.) See Aboriginal Resistance for more information of the conflict between the settlers and the traditional land owners.
Ghost on the bridge.
The ghost is said to be that of a woman named Kate who died on the bridge in the 1860s. Exactly one year after she was buried, Kate's ghost was said to appear at midnight - well it is a ghost story ! - and she appeared at the same time for the next 6 years. When, on the seventh year, several men tried to capture Kate when she appeared she must have decided that enough was enough and she never showed up again. (See Haunted Places for more ghost stories.)

To add to the festivities of St. Patrick's Day being celebrated by almost everyone, I thought I would share the story of St. Patrick.
Patrick was an English boy who was kidnapped and taken to Ireland as a slave back in the 6th century (or thereabouts). Some years later he escaped and went back to England where he was educated. Since he had grown to love the country and people of Ireland he went back there as a missionary to teach the pagan Irish about Christianity. As he tried to teach the difficult concept of the Holy Trinity to the people he used an easily available tool to teach about the three Gods in one Godhead. He picked up a shamrock which grows everywhere in Ireland and shows the three leaves making one leaf on the plant as a visible tool to teach the people which they could readily understand. This symbol of a shamrock is now used as a symbol of St. Patrick, but his original use was the shamrock as a symbol of the Holy Trinity.
As well as converting Ireland to Christianity, St. Patrick is also remembered as removing all snakes from Ireland and is now of course the Patron Saint of the country.

That description is true, but it does not begin to relate the effects of what St. Patric did. The ramifications of his story reached and shaped the whole world.

Call for Child Rights Ombudsperson in Kazakhstan
Astana, 20 January 2006: One third of Kazakhstan's children -- around five million in total -- are socially vulnerable, according to national Ombudsperson Bolat Baikadamov.
The results of three years of analysis by the Ombudsperson, the report examines the general situation of children, of child rights observance and their reflection in the national policies and legislation. The report finds that child labour, abuse and sexual exploitation, juvenile delinquency, and institutionalization remain burning issues for Kazakhstan.
According to the Report, children committed 6,614 crimes nationwide in 2003. In 2004, this figure soared to 7,948, and in the first six months of 2005 alone, children were involved in 4,498 offences. The juvenile justice system is currently being examined by the Supreme Court, Ministry of Justice and other government agencies working on the development of laws and procedures for an effective juvenile justice system.
"These and other child rights issues will be discussed at the Central Asian Child Protection Forum, which is tentatively scheduled for May with the venue in Astana, Kazakhstan," said the UNICEF Representative.
The report
The Ombudsperson's Report focuses on the implementation of 2003 recommendations of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child. The Report has been presented to President Nazarbayev, who has instructed the Government to study the document as the baseline for

"Americans invented the Internet, but the Japanese are running away with it."
August 30th, 2007 | Published in Google Public Policy
As I've pointed out in the past, the most recent figures show that of those Americans with high-speed broadband service, 99.6% receive that service from either their local phone company or their local cable company. Many have only one choice of broadband provider, and still others have none at all.
It's no secret that American consumers would benefit greatly from more competition for high-speed Internet access. Just take a look at the Japanese.
Yesterday's Washington Post reports that Japan has some of the fastest Internet connections in the world -- up to 30 times as fast as those in the United States. As the Post put it, "Americans invented the Internet, but the Japanese are running away with it." Accelerating broadband speeds in Japan, South Korea, and most of Europe are "pushing open doors to Internet innovation that are likely to remain closed for years to come in much of the United States."
The folks at the Save the Internet blog explained why, noting that "less than a decade ago, DSL service in Japan was slower and pricier than in the United States. So the Japanese government mandated open access policies that forced the telephone monopoly to share its wires at wholesale rates with new competitors. The result: a broadband explosion. Not only did DSL get faster and cheaper in Japan, but the new competition actually forced the creaky old phone monopoly to innovate."
Save the Internet Blog also reported on Arkansas Senator Mark Pryor's recent public hearing on the state of broadband in Arkansas, which was attended by FCC Commissioners Jonathan Adelstein and Michael Copps:
"While some have protested the international broadband penetration rankings," Adelstein said, alluding to some of his colleagues at the Commission, "the fact is the U.S. has dropped year-after-year. This downward trend and the lack of broadband value illustrate the sobering point that when it comes to giving our citizens affordable access to state-of the-art communications, the U.S. has fallen behind its global competitors."
Copps called the lack of a national broadband policy "tantamount to playing Russian roulette with our future."
"Each and every citizen of this great country should have access to the wonders of communications," Copps said. "I'm not talking about doing all these people some kind of feel-good, do-gooder favor by including them. I'm talking about doing America a favor. I'm talking about making certain our citizens can compete here at home and around the world with those who are already using broadband in all aspects of their lives."

Don't Ask, Don't Tell: Canada's Approach to Racism
Canadian media covers a string subjects with regular frequency. Hockey and weather get daily coverage. Entertainment, national and local political reports are aplenty.
Uncomfortable issues like child pornography also make the cover pages of mainstream news reports. But there is one issue that falls through the cracks in the Canadian press's editorial room: racism. Specifically when it comes to Black Canadians, the rule of Omertà reigns.
Last week, a Torontonian was published in The Guardian, a U.K. newspaper, in an op-ed audaciously entitled "Why I hate being a black man." Orville Lloyd Douglas laments the projection of negativity associated with his race and gender.
Honestly, who would want to be black? Who would want people to be terrified of you and not want to sit next to you on public transportation? A lot of the time I feel like my skin color is like my personal prison, something that I have no control over, for I am judged just because of the way I look.
While Oprah used her influence to shed light on the enduring stigmas attached to skin colour among women, this is perhaps the first time the issue is explored for men. The U.K.-based The Guardian rightfully recognized this compelling uncommonness.
Why is it that the U.K.'s newspaper is willing to publish a painfully honest editorial about race in Canada but Canadian papers aren't?
Before Mr. Douglas was published in the U.K., he submitted his personal op ed to Canadian newspapers. None of them thought this perspective was fit to print. It follows the long-standing tradition in Canada: non-stereotypical narratives of African-Canadian men are not a priority.
Douglas' fresh perspective on the black male experience was picked up days later... by American blogs and TV stations. Mr. Douglas was interviewed by none other than Don Lemon of CNN. The CNN segment was elongated on the fly, so compelling was the dialogue. As for the Canadian media, it was gripped by complete and utter silence.
This week, CBC radio's DNTO aired an episode entitled "When did you come face-to-face with race?" Tis a topic they called "touchy". CBC personalities Jian Ghomeshi, Kaj Hasselriis and Sook-Yin Lee shared their Canadian experiences with prejudice here at home. Unfortunately, the CBC bunted to the U.S. for a number of their dialogues on race.
An African-American spoke eloquently on race and the lack of education around the subject of slavery in her country. It is unclear why the Canadian perspective on this historical amnesia went untold, but it is a common tactic to pass the mic to the African-Americans, as if our experiences are identical (or close enough). By burying the CanCon, DNTO missed an opportunity to edify its listening audience.
Black Canadians took notice in August when the Canadian broadcasters brought out the red carpet for coast-to-coast coverage of the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King's March on Washington. During the rare day-long coverage centered mostly on blackness, RDI's pundit, Donald Cuccioletta, related the thoughts of African American leaders to the Quebecois, and concluded that "Americans have not yet confronted their history of slavery and continued systemic racism".
Not a hint of irony here.
An inquisitive TV host asked a Quebecois commentator "What was it like to be a black person in America at the time of MLK's speech?" Platitudes followed. Has the question ever been asked to Black Canadians?
In September, the broadcasters gave unprecedented coverage to Black Canadian figure... Ben Johnson. How many times must Johnson be tarred and feathered? Curiously, this privilege was not bestowed upon other known Canadian dopers. Our national media devoted an entire week to commemorate the infamous Olympic cheater. When have Black Canadian civil rights heroes been given this honour?
The resurgence of blackface in Quebec and the rest of Canada have barely registered a blip in the MSM. "Petty issues" like spectacular insensitivity shown by this pair of Habs fans somehow escaped the Franco-Quebec press and the NHL. They're "just f*cking minorities so who cares! Their collective silence speaks volumes.
Not discussing the issue doesn't mean it is going to go away.
~Orville Lloyd Douglas
The CBC's bold attempt to "go there" was packaged in a short, summer-only series: Intersections. Producers sacrificed quality by lobbing dozens of inter-cultural issues in 30-minute segments. The content had the depth of a kiddie pool. Canadians left looking for more substance and nuance turned the dial to NPR's Code Switch, a broad collection of stories delivered by a team of American journalists fascinated by the overlapping themes of race, ethnicity and culture in the USA. In Canada, CBC banished this can of worms to the off-season. In the U.S., it is a year-round dialogue.
It seems that Canadian broadcasters prioritize reporting on
Somali drug dealers Black criminals and athletes over all other portrayals of Black citizens. It seems we only exist during 28 days in February. Condemned to media hibernation during the other 11 months of the year, Black Canadians are forced to go abroad -- to the U.S. and the U.K. -- to watch and read of the stories which remain untold.
In this Jan. 28, 2015, frame from a dashcam video provided by the Inkster Police Department, an officer punches Floyd Dent many times in the head while another officer tries to handcuff Dent, who is on the ground in Inkster, Mich.

Police say Bates, a 73-year-old white reserve deputy, thought he was holding a stun gun, not his handgun, when he fired at 44-year-old Eric Harris in an April 2 incident. Harris, who is black, was treated by medics at the scene and died in a Tulsa hospital. (Tulsa County Sheriff's Office via AP)
An officer in Baltimore City was charged with animal cruelty after allegedly slitting the throat of Nala (pictured with owner), a pet who had escaped from her home. Nala had nipped at a woman's hand earlier in the day, but even that woman was horrified by officers' treatment of the dog. She noted that Nala was not aggressive, but had bitten her only "out of fear." Click here to read the whole story.
In April 2012, an officer in Sulphur, Louisiana approached two men on trespassing charges and, while apprehending them, tied one of the men's dog to a nearby fence. A third party witness at the scene said that the dog was rubbing up against the officer, who was petting him, but then "all of a sudden, he just jumped down and shot the dog in the head." The officer later claimed the dog had bitten him, but both the witness and the dog's owner say that's not true. Click here to read the whole story.

Oscar Grant was shot by a Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) police officer early on New Year's Day 2009 in Oakland, Calif. Cellphone footage shows BART cops struggling with Grant and forcing him to lay facedown on the platform after reports of a fight on the train. Officer Johannes Mehserle was seen shooting Grant in the back once, killing him. He was later convicted of involuntary manslaughter, but acquitted of second degree murder.
In one of the most notorious cases of police brutality, a bystander recorded four Los Angeles Police Department officers beating Rodney King with their batons in 1991 after they pulled him over for driving erratically. When the videotape emerged days later of the attack, the four cops were charged with assault. A jury acquitted them, sparking riots in April 1992 that killed 55 people and led to 12,000 arrests over seven days.
Off-duty Chicago police officer Anthony Abbate was sentenced to two years probation and anger management classes after being captured on video beating a female bartender in 2007.
Chicago police officer William Cozzi was sentenced to 40 months in federal prison after he was caught on camera in 2005 handcuffing a man to a wheelchair and beating him in a hospital. Cozzi claimed the victim -- a man who was seeking treatment for stab wounds -- had attacked him.
A New York City police officer was acquitted of assault and harassment after being videotaped knocking over cyclist Christopher Long during a "Critical Mass" bike ride through Times Square in 2008. Patrick Pogan resigned from the police force and was found guilty of filing false documents after video emerged that contradicted his claim that Long swerved into him.
Ahmed Amadou Diallo, 22, seen here in an undated photo, was gunned down at his home in the Bronx borough of New York early Thursday morning, Feb. 4, 1999. Four white police officers from the elite Street Crime Unit fired 41 shots at Diallo, a black West African immigrant who had no police record and was unarmed. Diallo was hit 19 times and died instantly. The officers' lawyer says Diallo gestured with his hands, leading the police to think he was reaching for a gun.
Abner Loiuma became a symbol of unchecked police force after the Haitian immigrant was sodomized with a broomstick by cops in a New York City police station in 1997. The officer responsible for the attack, Justin Volpe, was sentenced to 30 years in prison.
London newspaper vendor Ian Tomlinson died after police officer Simon Harwood hit him with a baton and knocked him to the ground as he walked away from police during a G-20 protest in 2009. Harwood will stand trial in October for manslaughter, according to The Guardian.
Michael Mineo accused an NYPD cop of sodomizing him with a baton after getting busted for smoking marijuana at a Brooklyn subway station in October 2008. A jury cleared the officer accused in the attack as well as two others charged with covering up the alleged assault.
In this May 24, 2010 file photo, former Chicago Police commander Jon Burge departs the federal building in Chicago. Burge, whose name has become synonymous with police brutality and abuse of power in Chicago, was convicted in 2010 of perjury and obstruction of justice for lying in a civil suit when he said he'd never witnessed or participated in the torture of suspects.
The trial is underway for four New Orleans police officers accused of killing two people and wounding four others in the shooting on the Danziger Bridge in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The suspects, pictured left to right, are Robert Faulcon Jr., Robert Gisevius Jr., Kenneth Bowen, and Anthony Villavaso II.
Security cameras in a Manhattan apartment building recorded NYPD officer David London hitting Iraq war veteran Walter Harvin almost 20 times with a baton even after he had handcuffed him. The incident began when Harvin entered the building without a key and refused to identify himself to London. Footage shows Harvin shoved London, but the cop lied to investigators by claiming that he'd been punched before retaliating with his baton. A jury acquitted London of assault and making false statements in 2010.
Eleanor Bumpurs, a 66-year-old African American woman, was killed by NYPD officers who were trying to evict her from her Bronx public housing apartment in 1984 for falling behind on her rent. City housing authority workers called in the cops, because they claimed that Bumpurs -- shown in an undated photo -- was mentally ill and that she menaced them with a knife while refusing to vacate her home. The officer who shot Bumpers twice with a shotgun was acquitted in 1987.
The 2006 shooting of 23-year-old Sean Bell raised questions in New York City about the NYPD's use of excessive force. On what would have been his wedding day, Bell was shot and killed by police in a hail of 50 bullets outside a strip club in Queens. Officers said they thought the victim and his friends, who were celebrating Bell's bachelor party, were planning on retrieving a gun from their vehicle when they opened fire. After months of protests around the city, Officers Michael Oliver, Gescard Isnora and Marc Cooper were acquitted in 2008.

Supply chain managers may benefit from major e-commerce alliance
December 15, 2011
An alliance agreement between INTTRA – a multi-carrier e-commerce platform for the ocean shipping industry – and Kewill was announced yesterday.
A global company, Kewill provides software that accelerates customs & forwarding, transportation & logistics, and e-commerce and B2B integration. According to spokesmen, users of the latest version of the Kewill Forwarding (KFF) suite for global freight can now use INTTRA's shipping software, which is built-in as standard, to facilitate electronic booking requests for shipped consignments.
By using the INTTRA portal, users making booking requests and submitting shipping instructions can receive confirmations and appropriate status messages when booking space prior to departure. The system can then accept or reject the request dependent on available space and alert the user on the outcome.
Kewill will continue to work with INTTRA to integrate additional time-saving e-commerce tools into Kewill Forwarding, including its Sailing Schedules feature. Kewill is also considering the possibility of using INTTRA for e-Invoicing and is delighted to see the great progress being made with OceanMetrics, INTTRA's new actionable, online performance measurement platform.??"Prior to integrating INTTRA's e-commerce shipping solution with our system, customers would either carry out manual processes or require specific interfaces for each carrier," said Ritu Rooney, Global Product Manager of Kewill Forwarding. "Now, rather than a multitude of carrier interfaces, there's just one – and INTTRA acts as a conduit portal."
Martin Zima, vice president of customs for global logistics provider, Kintetsu World Express (USA) Inc., told SCMR in an interview that Kewill has been helping his business "do more with less" recently.
John Sharratt, Director, Strategic Alliances of INTTRA, said this alliance may provide more of the same:
"With the integration of the INTTRA platform, Kewill's freight forwarding solution has been completely automated and the user experience made far simpler."

Smart Woman - Go Green for Saint Patty's Day
When you think of Saint Patrick's day, what comes to mind? Known as the feast of Saint Patrick, everyone's a wee bit Irish on Saint Patty's day and no dinner would be complete without corned beef hash.
We're talking Saint Patrick's day and chef Angelina Aldrich has you covered. "Since it's Saint Patrick's Day I thought something Irish would be fun, but I can't do anything just straight laced or traditional. I have to have a kick to it." said Aldrich
Angelina's going to show you how to take corned beef hash to a whole new leveL. Chorizo verde hash with chimichurri sauce and a sherry gastrique. Aldrich added "it's perfect for Saint Patrick's day."
First, the chimichurri. "It's basically just garlic, citrus, you know, lemon, lime, and herbs" said Aldrich. Chop everything up really fine, mix, and add some extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. Aldrich went on to say "you've got to taste it. You need to taste everything. That's kind of the trick with this whole cooking thing."
Next up, verde sauce. Aldrich said "this is really simple sauce. You just roast some peppers, whatever you've got on hand. You just blister it on the grill and then peel that skin off and puree it with some cilantro or whatever green herbs you have on hand." Take the verde sauce and mix it into some ground pork. "And you can see it turns the sausage green" added Aldrich. Brown the sausage, add shallots, rutabaga, potato, and kale. Sautee until potatoes are brown, cook an egg, and you're ready to go. Aldrich added "so we'll finish it with chimi sauce, and then a little Gastrique, which is just a vinegar and sugar sauce. It sounds complicated. It's really not." Garnish and there you have it - a feast that lets us all feel a lucky to be eating.

AG's ruling circumvented, session meltdown averted

(AP Photo/Steve Helber)
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The two largest measures before Virginia's General Assembly — the state budget and a landmark reform of the way Virginia funds its 58,000-mile highway network — won final passage Saturday, just before lawmakers ended a 2013 session that remained fractious and dramatic into its final hours.
The budget passed the House and Senate by comfortable margins, as did a transportation funding bill that had eluded governors of both parties for a dozen years, but only after senior budget writers on Saturday circumvented an 11th-hour meltdown resulting from a surprise overnight ruling by Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli.
Cuccinelli ruled that the most disputed and politically fragile item in the compromise budget, a legislative panel that would oversee reforms required to expand Medicaid to 400,000 uninsured Virginians just above the poverty line, was unconstitutional. That provoked a threat from Senate Democrats to doom the transportation bill and possibly the budget.
A last-minute edit to the final budget conference report before decisive floor votes took away the commission's discretion and makes its actions mandatory. Members of the 10-member committee said the alteration remedied the flaw Cuccinelli identified.
With that, the transportation funding reforms that would be Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell's lasting legislative legacy passed the Senate 25-15, with most Democrats backing it and most Republicans opposed. It had similarly won House passage 60-40 Friday, with Republicans split but Democrats strongly for it.
Moments later, the House voted 83-17 to pass the budget conference report containing the retooled amendment, and the Senate followed with a 31-8 vote for the budget, wrapping up the 2013 session.
Democrats had demanded some guarantee of Medicaid expansion and used their numerical parity in the Senate, where each party controls 20 seats and 21 votes are required to enact revenue or appropriations bills, to make it stick.
Republican leaders in both the House and Senate helped broker a fragile agreement to establish the Medicaid Innovation and Reform Commission. McDonnell gave the panel his conditional approval in a letter to legislators at 7 p.m. Friday. Later that night, at the behest of Del. Ben Cline, R-Rockbridge, Cuccinelli issued his ruling that the commission was unconstitutional.
Cuccinelli — a tea party hero and the presumptive Republican nominee to succeed McDonnell — wrote that "the General Assembly is prohibiting (sic) from doing indirectly that which the Virginia Constitution prohibits it from doing directly."
To oversee Medicaid reforms as the commission is envisioned to do, Cuccinelli wrote, actions toward that end would require a vote of the entire legislature to comply with the state constitution.
Special legislative commissions with oversight and contingent powers similar to the proposed Medicaid Innovation and Reform Commission already exist. The MIRC is patterned on the Major Economic Investment Commission, a 3-year-old panel of four senators and four delegates that vets companies looking to locate and expand in Virginia.
Similarly, the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission has power to negotiate rates for the state's centralized data processing and information technology agency.
Medicaid dominated the vote on the budget with Republican conservatives siding with Cuccinelli, arguing that the change made just before the vote still doesn't pass constitutional muster.
"There is a lot to like in this budget — there is very little I see that is objectionable," Cline said. "But due to the concerns that have been raised by many regarding the constitutionality of this language and the original language, I will be voting 'no' on the budget."
One opponent, Republican Del. Robert G. Marshall of Prince William, promised to sue and have the provision overturned.
But others disagreed, including some of the House's most stalwart conservatives.
"The House of Delegates and the Senate have a long history of delegating authority to commissions and bodies made up of members of both bodies, with authority to make decisions," said Del. Steve Landes, R-Augusta County.
Democratic Del Johnny S. Joannou of Portsmouth said the budget wasn't all he wanted, but reasonably represented as much as the House could get in negotiations with the Senate.
"If we're going to have a budget bill this year, it's important there be some kind of compromise and agreement with the body on the other side," he said.
Cuccinelli's office did not publish the ruling on the Attorney General's website Saturday, and he and his aides did not reply to requests for comment.

Bosch Says Profit Targets Are More Difficult on Material Costs
Robert Bosch GmbH, the world's biggest car-parts supplier, said it will be harder to meet its profit targets this year as high raw material costs and spending on new business areas hurt margins.
While revenue will increase in a range of 3 percent to 5 percent, it has become harder to meet the growth target of 7 percent to 8 percent, the Stuttgart, Germany-based company said in a statement today. Sales rose 5 percent in the first quarter.
"Economic uncertainties remain high, even if the euro-zone debt crisis has relaxed slightly," Chief Executive Officer Franz Fehrenbach said in the statement. "With raw material prices remaining high and further investment needed in new business areas, it will be more difficult to reach our target corridor of 7 percent to 8 percent in 2012."
The industrial technology division had a loss before interest and taxes of 364 million euros ($482 million) last year because of price competition, according to today's statement. Bosch, which employs 302,500 people worldwide, is pursuing a 1.5 billion-euro push into solar energy. Last year, it bought Voltwerk Electronics GmbH from Conergy AG for technology to link solar panels to electricity grids.
Total earnings before interest and taxes declined 15 percent in 2011 to 2.7 billion euros. Sales grew 9 percent to 51.5 billion euros.
Speaking to journalists in Stuttgart yesterday, Fehrenbach urged the rest of the euro zone to follow Germany's lead in improving competitiveness and said that if Germany reduced its trade surplus the region would have a "big trade deficit."
"These other countries should not really blame Germany, they should work on their competitive edge," he said. "Most of us have forgotten that between 1995 and 2005 we were 'the sick man of Europe' and Germany turned it around."
Of Germany's 170 billion-euro trade surplus, only 45 billion euros to 50 billion euros is inside the euro region, and the region itself has a trade surplus of some 15 billion euros, he said.

Coastguard honour for Alex
A Northland man has been recognised in the National Coastguard Awards. Alex Wakefield, of Coastguard Whangaruru, was named Coastguard Rescue Vessel Volunteer of the Year. In nominating Mr Wakefield, his peers noted not just his technical skill but also his mana as a leader during his 11 years with the service. He is the past president of Coastguard Whangaruru and is currently training officer and master of the rescue vessel RV Tangaroa. Coastguard chief executive Patrick Holmes said: "Whangaruru is a small, close-knit unit which continues to punch above its weight when it comes to striving for excellence and producing community role models like Alex Wakefield, who is a credit both to coastguard and his local community."
ACC advocacy seminar
A Northland ACC advocate has organised a day-long conference to discuss reviews, legislation and appeals relating to the government entity. Jeanette Brock, who has represented many Northlanders at ACC reviews, has invited four ACC law specialists - Philip Schmidt, Hamish Peart, Andrew Cadenhead and Kevin Murray - to speak at the Auckland conference. She said 32 solicitors and advocates had so far registered their interest. "We'll try and form a body that meets at least once a year and talk about ACC review issues," she said.
The cost is $50 per person. Those interested in attending the conference, at Sudima Hotel in Mangere, can contact Ms Brock on (09) 435 6877 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Rooms were clean and tidy and very comfortable although I couldn't get the thermostat to alter room temperature. The staff did offer to give us a room change and did have maintenance looking at it but it was too late in our stay to worry about changing rooms. But the staff were helpful. Hallway lights at night have to be turned on by hand. Breakfast was fine for what we needed but comparing with other hotels not as much choice.

Idaho exchange enrollment swells
Enrollment in insurance plans through Idaho's state-run health care exchange has swelled since the federal government fixed the website that residents use to sign up coverage, the AP reports, with about 20,000 Idahoans enrolling in time for their coverage to begin Jan. 1. That's up from 1,730 people through Nov. 30. Click below for a full report from AP reporter John Miller.
Idaho exchange: Enrollees blossom to 20,000
By JOHN MILLER, Associated Press
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Enrollment in Idaho's insurance exchange has blossomed after the federal government in December fixed the website that residents use to sign up for health insurance coverage, with roughly 20,000 people buying individual and family coverage in time for it to begin Jan. 1.
That's up from 1,730 people who purchased coverage available via Your Health Idaho through Nov. 30.
The new total was announced Friday by Your Health Idaho spokeswoman Jody Olson. Insurance exchanges were envisioned by President Barack Obama's 2010 health care overhaul as online marketplaces for individuals and small businesses to compare and shop for coverage — and receive subsidies based on their income.
"We do not have any official numbers," Olson told Your Health Idaho board members at a meeting in Boise, calling the latest tally "anecdotal." She said she hopes to have concrete numbers from the federal government in a few days.
According to initial estimates by the federal government, Idaho is aiming to have at least 40,000 people enrolled in exchange coverage during 2014.
In Idaho, however, it remains unclear how many of the new enrollees came from the ranks of the uninsured, a key target group of Obama's law. Some 260,000 people in Idaho were uninsured in 2013.
Rudey Ballard, an insurance agent in eastern Idaho's Rexburg, said he's sold hundreds of policies offered via Your Health Idaho, but few went to the previously uninsured.
"Almost all of them have been insured before," Ballard told The Associated Press in late December. "Those people that were uninsured, when I talk to them at my little Wal-Mart booth, they had no idea. They said, 'What do you mean, I have to have insurance?' "
Beginning March 1, virtually all Americans must have insurance or face an annual penalty. Individual fines start at a minimum $95 in 2014 and rise annually to a $695 minimum by 2016. For uninsured kids in 2014, the fine is $47.50 each.
The Idaho exchange's $3.5 million advertising campaign got off to a delayed start in October when the HealthCare.gov website the state is using for enrollment experienced massive problems.
Not wanting to "advertise frustration," the exchange board first delayed its marketing, then limited it to radio, Internet and newspapers. Television advertising won't begin until later this month.
Exchange officials have acknowledged gaps in information, especially among Idaho's previously uninsured, and they hope the next round of advertising helps remedy that.
"We want general population awareness, but we do want to do more of an action-oriented marketing plan, to target those who are uninsured or underinsured," Olson told exchange board members.
Another group Idaho's exchange is still working to reach: The state's American Indian tribes, the Shoshone-Paiute, Shoshone-Bannock, Nez Perce, Coeur d'Alene and Kootenai groups.
So far, the exchange has been in talks with the tribes, but they are the only groups with whom Your Health Idaho leaders have yet to establish formal agreements to provide trained employees paid to answer questions about the new health care insurance requirements, then direct potential customers either to private brokers or the federal HealthCare.gov site to enroll.
On Friday, the board voted unanimously to begin using $200,000 to set up those employees with the tribes.
Federal law requires Idaho's exchange to engage tribes or risk losing its state-run exchange, said Alberto Gonzalez, Your Health Idaho's operations manager.

OK, seriously, everyone - this has to stop. All trailers are starting to blur into one for me.
When did this craze start? Was it that UC3 multiplayer reveal trailer that kicked things off? Everyone seems to be going to the same well for their trailers these days. But, you know what? The well has dried up. PLEASE STOP.

Hi, i'm 2,5 weeks post-op so today (don't ask me why) i really picked inside my nose from the right nostril. I should mention that i really got up there. Now i have noticed new swelling along the right side of my nose and i'm really regretting what i have done. I noticed that my right nostril (which is the one i picked inside) is now ironically smaller than my left one now (quite noticeable). Whould you suggest that this is because of the swelling? I have put ice on my nose now.
2.5 Weeks Post-op and Picked my Nose Good - Swelling. What Should I Do?
Doctor Answers 2
Cleaning Nose 2.5 Weeks Post Rhinoplasty
Swelling after cleaning your nose may have caused temporary asymmetry of your nostrils. Although it is unlikely that you did any permanent harm, schedule an appointment with your surgeon.
Let your surgeon clean your nose post Rhinoplasty
There is a saying do not put anything smaller in your ears or your nose then an elbow! With that said and since you already have I would suggest seeing your surgeon for a check up examination. You are not the first person post rhinoplasty to pick their nose so I would not get overtly worried. You may have some swelling from your actions however it is highly unlikely it will effect your overall results. No more picking and visit your surgeon. Best regards!

Re: New Orleans Trip Information Thread
My advice is: stay at the campground in Mississippi about the last exit before the Louisiana State line, near the Pearl River. Rent a car or find other transportation to get into the downtown (I had suggested to others to park near the NOLA airport and take the shuttle downtown - that would work if the remote lots are open - check with Moisant/Armstrong airport). If the Mississippi camp is closed, explore camping along the Gulf Coast. We used to have a small RV to camp near Perdido Beach, Florida, where we could literally catch our dinner with rod & reel. You could rent a car to get into the city. You may find another campground between Mobile, Biloxi, Gulfport, Pass Christian. Most of these locations have airports with rental cars to take into the City.
One alternative worth exploring: there used to be many RV's that would come into the city for the JazzFest at the Fairgrounds race track. You could take a cab downtown. The last Jazz Fest I attended was around 2002, so this may a useless suggestion, but at least worth a phone call. NOLA Raven Fan can tell you if the surrounding area is safe.In a 2003 BBC poll that asked Brits to name the "Greatest American Ever", Mr. T came in fourth, behind ML King (3rd), Abe Lincoln (2nd) and Homer Simpson (1st).

Tom Brady Says He Won't Watch The Super Bowl
Tom (Cry) Brady is apparently so upset at the Patriots' loss to the Denver Broncos that he will not be watching the big game on Feb. 2.
Brady spoke with WEEI about who he would be rooting for:
I don't have much of a rooting interest, truthfully. Those games are hard to watch.
I don't really see myself sitting down to enjoy a football game to watch it. Our season's over. Truthfully, I could care less about watching the game.
That's pretty much how I feel.
A bit bitter or a guy who is just done with the season? You be the judge.

Since `piradians =180degrees`
2`piradians = 360 degrees`
When you add (+) or subtract (-) 360 degrees or 2`piradians`
to a solution you will end at the same measurement as you started with;
therefore the correct solution is both a: adding 360 and b: subtracting 360
which makes choice "d" both of the above solutions are correct

What Am I Doing?
Thursday, August 5th, 2010 | Posted under Blogging, Personal
I thought I would actually write a little more a thoughtful post today, since I was up last night wondering what to write (too much sugar in my homemade mojitos perhaps?). I had this weird "talk" with myself which made me question why I blog particularly on this stuff. This "stuff" meaning food and travel. Maybe it was a moment of complete lack of self-confidence and my "Gremlin" talking to me. By the way, a good friend calls a person's "Gremlin" their inner voice that tries to dissuade them from accomplishing their goals and chips away at their self-confidence.
Anyway here's my conversation in my head last night:
Try Anything Once Terri: I'm behind on posting this week. Something needs to go up tomorrow. What should it be? Something on Bali? My trip to Fort Defiance and Baked in Red Hook? Fatty Crab? Governor's Island?
Gremlin: Why are you even worried about this? No one reads your blog anyway!! They don't care. All you do is brag aboout where you went. The travel stuff especially in pretty crappy. Look, shouldn't you be doing something more important with your time instead of spending it writing something no one cares about? Last time I checked you're not exactly bringing in money here. There are like 5o million other blogs out there. A whopping five people read yours (well, more like 20 or so according to Site Meter). Waste your time if you want.
OUCH!! My Gremlin is pretty rough, and it was last night. I think it's the convergence of a lot of things happening to me right now: Getting older (as in I have a birthday next month and for some reason it's freaking me out more than usual); contemplating major life changes in the realm of motherhood and family and how it will affect the things I love to do (I give props to people to travel certain places with kids.); lack of career satisfaction or feeling like I have done nothing of worth professionally (add the other two previous things to the mix, and then I really feel whack).
I try not to let other aspects of my life influence what I do here, since this is supposed to be my happy, carefree space. I'm sure that I will continue to do this blog because it's an outlet for me. Many of you blog under much more crazy circumstances than I do (i.e., you have demanding full time jobs; children; this is your livelihood; etc.), so I am not going to complain.
Anyway, for the bloggers out there, what keeps you going blogging about the things you love? What are your hopes and expectations for your blog? Is it just a diary of your thoughts? A means of relaxation? A vehicle to profile other things you do?
I will leave you one of my favorite pictures from my trip to my beautiful island homeland, Antigua, a couple of years ago. I'll get to the story of that trip sometime. 🙂

Does my kitten need a vet ASAP?
She is normally an active healthy vibrant 5 month old that plays all day with short naps in between but today she slept from 8 am til 7:30 pm, ate a bit drank a bit, went to litter box and back to sleep now it's almost midnight she ate a bite at 11:39 went back inside her paperbag to sleep. She's also been shivering all day even with me holding her snug in my arms. What could be wrong and does it sound like an emergency? Her stool appeared normal and she hasn't vomited to my knowledge but this behavior is EXTREMELY out of character. She climbs trees and plays hide n seek with me in the evening but today she appears very weak, her pupils are dilated and shes shivering despite feeling warm to the touch. I did give her a serving of new different brand food called everpet last night and this morn and I'm worried she's been poisoned or something, please help tell me should i wait to take her to the vet i don't have a vet yet so there's no one I can call pls help I love her so damn much

We're sorry your kitten is sick. Unfortunately, even if we were veterinary professionals on this site, there is no way we could examine, diagnose and suggest treatment for her over a computer. Anytime there is a sudden change in behavior such as your kitten has shown, it is imperative to get her to a vet, even an emergency vet clinic, as fast as you can. You don't need to have a "history" with a vet to take a sick kitty in to them. Right now, you need help and do not have time to do research on vets. Please take her in now and let us know how she's doing.

One-liners make quick work out of fall TV previews
Some movie reviews are so long I only read the last line.
