Casteel wins county judge race Election should be investigated, challenger says By ROSE MARIE EASH and MARK LYON Herald-Zeitung staff_ Incumbent Comal County Judge Carter Casteel won the right to serve four more years by winning a convincing victory over Republican challenger Ted Key. Casteel won 4,400 votes to Key's 2,442 for the Comal County Judge candidacy in the Republican Primary. The total voter turnout was 7,071 Republican ballots cast and 1,733 Democratic ■ See state election results, Page 2 ballots cast oSSSTw207th, a «rvi 274th judicial races, i - BEU-* vt c r y precinct results in pleased Thursday'sHorald-with the Zeitung. results," said Casteel. "I'm looking forward to four more years. I'm thankful for the financial and emotional support I received. We raised about $12,000 and _ that's about Ted K what we spent. I hope all of us can come together to work for the benefit of all the citizens. "I think it's a victory for positive campaigning. I think negativity and derisiveness are something of the past I hope so because a lot of good people who would like to serve are turned off by it. I learned from my parents to always take the high road and I tried to do that in this campaign. It wtt a very difficult one.'' Ted Key strongly disagreed with Schwab keeps commissioners seat with slim win over Nolan 3! ROGER CROTEAU Editor no— A- MO wCilWBD HWatf-ZMuv photo by JOHN HUSETH Incumbent County Judge Carter Casteel was all smites after declaring victory last night over Republican chal-j longer Ted Key. Casteel's statement concerning positive campaigning and hijnted that he might seek an investigation into the election over what he considered to be "questionable practices." "I was defeated by the system," he said. "This has not been a clean election. We had a county clerk illegally in a precinct voting location. We had at least one resident told he had to go to the other side of the lake to vote for me, and a voting machine fouled up and had to be taken to the courthouse to be counted. We were told our poll watchers couldn't remain at the polls because they were not there at 7 un. I also question why the city of New Braunfels had from Feb. 16 through March 4 to vote early while Canyon Lake residents only had a few hours during one single day. "I'm going to look into how this was conducted." Key described Casteel's campaign as a "character assasination." "She lied and distorted the truth about me," he said. "The early vote was what we expected. She was way ahead but we knew her political machine would generate a good early turnout." Key laid that he does not intend to run for another county office. "This was my one and only attempt at public office," he said. "I never had any great political aspirations. I just felt the people deserved better. I will now do everything I can to raise people's awareness of the things that are going on in Comal County. In that sense, we have just begun. "Its sad," he continued. "But we disrupted the power structure there in New Braunfels. I am personally ashamed of the Republican Party in Comal County. We got no help from them in our campaign. Challenger Danny Scheel wins Precinct 4 commissioners seat over Neil Craigmile By JENNIFER ROMPEL Staff Writer Precinct 4 County Commissioner candidate Danny Scheel declared victory last night in his race against incumbent County Commissioner Ned Craigmile. Final returns on the race were released at approximately midnight Tuesday. Scheel received 1,062 votes and Craigmile received 848. The race was close up until the end of the count. Partial precinct totals released earlier in the evening showed the two candidates to be neck and neck with Craigmile have 46.93 percent of the vote and Scheel having 46.12. Early voting returns were the first indicator of a dote rare. In early voting, Scheel received 4935 percent of the vote and Craigmile received 44.32. Scheel expressed surprise upon hearing the final vote count. "I'm just in shock," he said. "I am grateful to the voters of Comal County over this outcome. "I wai surprised. The precincts have changed around since I ran last time. I wu pleased with the turnout,'* saki Scheel.. "I want to compliment Mr. Craigmile on a clean campaign. We presented the views to the voters, and they made their decision," said Scheel. Scheel said he believe! the deciding factor for voters was his openess and his willingness to talk to people. Scheel will take his office in January. Until that time, he said he will be "hanging around" the courthouse to find out what's "going on." "I want it to be a smooth transition when I take office," he said. Craigmile, who has held the office for two terms, sent wishes of good luck to Scheel. "I ran on my record. I'm proud of that record and I would do it again," he said. Danny Scheel Tm Just In shock. I am grateful to tho voters of Comal County over this outcome. I was surprised.' - Danny Scheel 'I ran on my record. I'm proud of that record and I would do It again.' - Neil Craigmile "I am proud of my record. I have taken pleasure in serving the citizens of Comal County. If I had it to do over I wouldn't change anything," he said. "I want to thank every one of my supporters. They were good supporters. It was a disappointing loss, but nothing is sure in politics," said Craigmile. Craigmile said his plans now include retirement and will not seek another elected office. Incumbent Precinct 4 County Commissioner Moms 'Mo' Schwab staved off a tough challenge from Bd Nolan in the Republican Party primary Tuesday night. Schwab started the night with a narrow lead after the early votes were counted, and his lead gradually increased through the evening. The final tally was 1,060 votes for Schwab and 976 for Nolan, or 52 percent to 48 percent. Schwab arid he appretiteed his supporters and invited supporters of hii challenger, Ed Nolan, to join him against Lois Duggan, his Democratic opponent in November. "I really would appreciate picking up the support of people that vexed for Ed Nolan," Schwab said. "I really do appreciate people that worked for me in my telephone bank, my stamp tickers and more." "I was disappointed in the voter turnout, aa hard as we both worked to get the vote out I really anticipated more people coining out We have 8,000 registered voters in this precinct and less than 2,000 voted," bedrid. Schwab said ensuring that WORD is nm efficiently will be a priority for him in his coming term. "1 lost a bunch of votes by hanging my baton WORD. But it has gotten nothing but better in the last three years, and I think it will get better this year." Schwab also aid he plans to study innovteive solid watee treatment alternatives, such as composting or burning the waste. Nolan said he thought the vote would narrow through the evening, instead of having the margin grow wider. He said that in a primary with a low turnout, it largely becomes a contest oi which cmdqiqbbb now • do* ter job getting out the vote. "We worked hard. My supporters did a great job. We worked hard to get out the vote, to the point that I was afraid we were starting to harass people," he arid. Nolan arid he thought 975 votes would win the contest, and he wu pleased that turnout wu a little higher than he expected. "We were up again* a tough political organization, and we just didn't get enough people out lo vote," Nolan said. "I had a lot of good people who want change in Comal County. He said he doubts he will seek public office again. "I would be very Air-prised. I really think people need to take a turn republic service and I took mine. I think it would be asking too much of my family to run again." Oak Village North could be Comal County's next city By MARK LYON Managing Editor A new city may be on the brink of sprouting up in the southwest section of Comal County should residents of Oak Village North subdivision approve a proposal to incorporate on May 7. A movement began lire year to study the issue of incorporation, according to Pam Papain, who will preside as election judge over the election. The results of the study were released at a meeting of about 1S0-200 residents who decided to pursue the issue further. A petition, map and survey were presented to Comal County Commis-rionen in late November and an election date was set. According to Papsun, the effort to gain incorporation stems from the threat of San Antonio's Extra Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) and possible annexations in northern Bexar County and southern Comal County. "This is not the first time this hasbeen brought up," said Papain. "About nine years ago this was studied but it was determined that then it wasnta big enough threat. A lot of the research done then was used in this study. We just replaced the old statistics with current ones." Papsun said there are about 450 homes ranging from $70,000 to $250,000 in the Oak Village North subdi virion. She said that currently, there are no businesses, but a volunteer fire station will serve as the polling location. "This area is growing real fast," she said. Papsun said that the proposed city would have a mayor/five aldermen type of government, but that the city would continue to contract for fire and police protection with Comal County, unless the city council passed ordinances which would have to be enforced. The proposed city would take up less than two square miles and is located just south of Hwy. 46 and east of Smithson Valley Road. "That's one of the opportunities they have out there (incorporation)," arid County Judge Carter Casteel. "They can provide their own services with this move. However, well work with them either way." San Antonio officials are studying ti* possible annexation of Country Place, a subdivision three miles south of Oak Village North. An annexation of Country Place would threaten the chanccs'of Oak Village North's incorporation options by putting OVN within San Antonio's ETJ (five miles). "There are people out here for and against the proposal," Papsun said. "We're just trying to let the people here decide whether we should do that or not. Some folks out here just dont want to be part of San Antonio, especially again* their will." Comal County currently hat only two incorporated cities.

The University of South Carolina Upstate is pleased to announce Dr. Warren J. Carson has completed 25 years of service to the national College Board's Advanced Placement Program.
Each June, more than 11,000 college faculty members and Advanced Placement high school teachers from academic institutions across the globe come to the U.S. to evaluate and score the free-response sections of the AP exams.
Carson serves as the senior associate vice chancellor for academic affairs, chief diversity officer and Title IX coordinator at USC Upstate. In addition to his role as an administrator, he also teaches classes in English and African-American studies.
During his last four years of service, Carson has served as the Chief Reader—the chief faculty consultant for the exams. In that capacity, he made numerous presentations and conducted workshops across the country on writing assessment to ensure that students receive scores that accurately reflect college-level achievement.
Carson also served as the English Literature unit's longest serving Question Leader at 13 years and as a member of the Test Development Committee for 11 years, including four years as chair of the committee.
In recognition of his service, the College Board and Educational Testing Service presented Carson with an engraved crystal bowl. He also was recognized by the Children of the Yam, a group of Advanced Placement Readers of Color, with a scroll celebrating his leadership and a gift card. His leadership team presented him with a tree planted at his home. He also received a framed tribute from the Readers, in addition to various cards and gifts.
A Tryon, N.C., native, Carson earned his bachelor's degree in English from UNC Chapel Hill in 1974. He continued his studies at Atlanta University, where he received his master's degree in Afro-American Studies, and earned his Ph.D. in English from the University of South Carolina.
Carson has been an educator for more than 40 years, 32 of which have been spent at USC Upstate. He is a past president of the College Language Association and managing editor for the CLA Journal, a scholarly journal devoted to the study of language and literature.

Would you be expecting me to lose weight going to the gym 3 x per week?(45 Posts)
Starting at the beginning of July (after falling off the wagon a bit in June) I have tightened up my regime, and now have three days per week which look a bit like this:
- Eat breakfast and lunch totalling 400-500 calories
- Go to gym and burn 600 calories (450-500 on a bad day)
- Have small snack (about 100 calories)
- Have light dinner (chicken & veg, salmon salad, etc)
This means at least 2 x per week my Net calories tot in at about 600 (always less than 1,000).
I've also kicked some seriously bad cheese-and-wine habits on the days when I'm not excessively counting and don't go to the gym.
Consequently I'm about to go into my third week of this routine and feeling much fitter and better, but in the first week I actually gained three pounds (which I'd somehow lost whilst being off the wagon, so the gain put me squarely back on Square One) and I haven't lost a sausage since then
Would you expect this sort of regime to pay off, or am I wasting my time?
Thanks Chieftains
I started using weights after reading this book- smart girls do dumbbells.
Lots of research backed up info & how to lift properly so you don't do any damage.
A great plan in it to get you started.
Although I still think trx is a better workout as you are using all your body weight to some degree.
So it's really easy to make exercises harder or easier. Plus you don't need to remember what kg each exercise you are at, like you need to with free weighs or machine weights. (I have appalling memory & have to walk round the gym with my workout card every time!)
I agree with pp (on phone, told you my memory was rubbish!) that cardio isn't great for losing weight. I think it is good for your cardiovascular health ie your heart, circulation, getting the blood moving in all parts of your body.
But to tone up and be more lean- healthy eating & weights will give you much better results.
another interesting article there are lots in same vein if you google something like cardio vs weight training
Sorry mermaid, thought you meant 1 hr total. What you describe isn't so much calorie wise then. I still think it is a very poor use of time at the gym though. You would do better using your hour with a five min jog or row to warm up, 20-30 mins weights (free weights best, get some instruction if you need it) then 12-20 mins high intensity intervals, not using the effort you can sustain for 5 mins but harder, you should be desperate for one minute to end...then recover for 1-2 mins and repeat. Shorten the recovery time to one min and increase the total time spent as you get fitter. Then do 5-10 mins doing some core strength stuff-planks etc and stretching.
3-4 times a week of this plus good diet made up mainly of lots of lean protein and veg should make a difference. Try it for a month or so....
BIWI that article is fascinating.
Also Noel I sniggered at Fartlek. I really do think they could do better!
Sounds like my strategy actually, although I'd never heard the name. I power like crazy for about 5 minutes until I run out of steam, then let myself recover for about 1.5 minutes then go crazy again.
The muscle idea sounds very sensible - that's exactly how much I weigh BIWI. I felt pudgy and wibbly early this year so joined the gym and started MFPing, but it wasn't until June that I got a real shock when I went to the doctor and got weighed. I only ever get weighed at the doctor and I'd gained 5/6kg in 9 months! So I figured I needed to lose it all again to stop feeling wibbly but it was only a few weeks ago I really tightened up the regime, bought a set of scales and decided to be more serious about it.
Is there a better way of calculating calories burned than the machine estimate? I'm a bit at all the people telling me it seems too high, as it roughly adds up to the MFP estimates - e.g. it takes me just over 25 minutes on an exercise bike to burn 200 calories (according to the machine and when I try and enter those into MFP, 26 minutes equates to 202 calories. I'm quite aware that neither MFP nor the machine display are an exact science, but is there a better way? I assumed between them they'd be giving me a pretty good idea.
Sleep Obviously I don't count the time between machines in the hour! It's roughly
25 minutes on bike = 200 calories
20 minutes on elliptical trainer = 200 calories
10 minutes on rowing machine = 100 calories
10 minute run + fast-walk-cooldown on treadmill = 100 calories
Or so the machines reckon.
At 5ft 6in, and a BMI of 21, that means you probably weigh around 9 stone 4lbs. Is this right?
You are at the low end of desirable, which means you don't have much weight to lose!
Exercise only counts for 15-20% of weight loss, and diet is much more important.
This is an interesting blog about fat and exercise
Also, more muscle means the opposite result to calorie restriction, calorie restriction over time means your body will adapt to working on less calories, leading to a constant battle with your appetite to keep your weight down - this gets even harder as you age and lose muscle tissue due to hormonal changes. Muscles built and maintained through weight training burn more calories, so you can eat more (within reason ) without gaining lbs. win win!
talkinpeace is talkin sense as usual . Bear in mind when looking at all these figures that you need a 3,500 calorie deficit to lose 1lb of weight.
Sorry but unless you are working very very hard it is highly unlikely you are burning 600 calories between those machines, if you stayed on one machine you may have a chance but just the time lost changing between them would mean you are probably only actually working for 50 minutes or so. To do that and burn 600 calories is pretty intense work for someone who, I am guessing, is around 9 stone. The elliptical machine is particularly notorious for over-estimating calorie burn btw.
It is also likely that you are underestimating calories consumed and if you are, even by, say 200 calories a day (not much) then that would be cancelling out the calories burnt through exercise.
Having said all this...if your BMI is 21 then you probably don't really need to lose weight, although you may need to lose fat . Have you thought about weight training? This, using heavy weights, with some HIiT added in, will change your shape to one you much prefer, sculpting (not bulking) muscles and you will shrink, even if you don't lose weight. Do this alongside avoiding sugar and processed food, aiming for lowish carb, lots of lean protein and you will probably get better results more easily than calorie counting.
Mermaid that would be great, but I'm not currently using it- as I have a 13 week old baby & I am giving myself lots of time to recover!
I really want to get started on the wobbly tummy but just don't have the energy or bf going well enough yet to leave her. (She doesn't really nap)
I can't believe I do actually miss exercising!
During her birth I worked out I did 3000 squats (in the water pool pushing on the side for a few hours).
I figured this out because I couldn't walk for the first week & had the most amazingly shaped bum! And all cellulite gone!
However I don't think I will be doing 3000 squats ever again!
Why oh why would they name it Fartlek . There wasn't a better name?
No wonder you've lost so much weight!
because my BMI just went under 20 ....
Also I always calculate my TDEE on light exercise because when I'm working I sit the whole time
MFP = Myfitnesspal
Mermaid : it is definitely the hidden sugars and the TEENY allowances of fats that catch people out!
Ooooh what's MFP?
Talkin - how come your tdee is 1500?
Oh, meant to say I only manage <1100 calories 2-3 times a week, and although I've been MFPing and gymming for about 5 months my regime was scatty until a few weeks ago when I decided to buy some scales and be more organised.
Thanks TIP! My BMI is actually 21 - I'm 5ft6. Doubtless I am wrong about my calorie intake to some degree, but on the days where I count and gym I use MFP so I reckon I have quite a good idea. I could be wildly off about my non-gym-MFP days and have been shocked by a few things since I started counting, such as the impact of olive oil.
If your TDEE is 1859 and you are under 5'5" then I'm afraid you have been eating more than that amount
I am 5'5" and my TDEE is 1500
what we have learned from the 5:2 threads is that peoples estimates of how many calories are in their meals are out by up to 40%
their guess as to how many grammes their portions are - ditto
a pub ploughmans / pie / main course is around 1000 calories on its own
a large glass of wine is 200 calories
if you WERE eating 1100 calories in a day, you would have a BMI under 20
If you are like me ...Eat more than what you are extra fruit and veg keep up the exercise and it might shift. Good luck .. its taken me a year to find out why the 'f' its not shifting and I am not eating enough!!!!,
But Talkinpeace I have never eaten anything like 1859 calories on a daily basis! On my three "good" days I come in at under 1100 (gross, not net) and on a "bad" day (i.e. cheesey lunch, pub and no exercise) I'll maybe get to 1800
milktray wanna be MFP buddies? I need more friends!
Ehric what makes you say that? I have a few MNers on MFP and 500-600 calories for an hour's workout seems to be pretty standard. I aim for 600 and spread it over the exercise bike, eliptical trainer, rowing machine and treadmill.
Oh and before anyone says it you won't be gaining muscle by going to the gym, and fat doesn't weigh less than muscle! But you might be retaining wat as your muscles repair themselves.
Rather than going by weight go by your measurements. I'm sure you'll see a difference in your shape before you do on the scales.
Sorry, maybe not half a kilo a week, more like a fortnight.
Yes there's a lot about your body type & how you burn energy.
Eating healthy, not drinking, then productive exercise WILL make a difference to your body. Stick at it, at least 4 weeks.
Your metabolism will slowly change to adjust to operating with the new conditions you are giving it.

I will have to compare a little bit more but there doesn't seem to be any sort of acceptance or possible future acceptance from the French that I felt in the U.K. That could be due to the language barrier though. Like I said, I will have to compare a bit more.

The church was stunning. Painted walls and beautiful leaded glass windows combined to make a building with true wow factor. The cathedral on the other hand was just a huge space intended to emphasise the importance of Henry ll (of England) and his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine.

The fact that Claims Direct – the once all-conquering ambulance chaser – appears to have been in the business world's equivalent of accident and emergency ever since the receivers were called in a couple of months ago, has not kept the notorious claims company out of the headlines. If it's not news of impecunious former clients trying to sue, then it's the investors and franchisees wanting their money back – as it was this month when a new legal broadside was launched.
US lawyer Richard Fields is co-ordinating the Claims Direct Action Group and says that many shareholders and franchisees made substantial investments based on information "that may have been false, misleading and inaccurate". Two days after The Lawyer visited Fields last week the number of potential claimants has leapt from 843 to more than a thousand. Not bad considering the action has only been up and running for little more than a fortnight. "We reckon that the total losses of the investors are somewhere near £200m," Fields predicts. "This is not an insignificant damages claim."
'Where there's blame, there's a claim' was the message of Claims Direct's saturation TV advertising, and it seems to be getting through to those unwittingly drawn into the debacle. Fields is heading the action through his new consultancy company Judica, alongside Manchester firm Betesh Fox. Meanwhile, Class Law has been pursuing an investor/franchisee action for more than a year and now has "quite a few hundred" potential claimants on its books, with new clients coming in everyday. On a different tack, legal actions on behalf of aggrieved accident victims are building up and, so far, Manchester firm Tranters has 150 clients signed up.
The legal profession – practitioners, academics and judiciary – will continue to debate the rights and wrongs of Claims Direct, and where it leaves other claims management companies, for some time. But how did the claims management giant fall so dramatically from grace and how did the City become so enamoured of its business model in the first place?
Two years ago Claims Direct was a classic rags to riches success story. Its co-founders – the poker-loving former cabbie Tony Sullman and his solicitor sidekick Colin Poole – floated the company in July 2000 and its shares leapt from 180p to 353p in the first two months. The flotation was reported to have netted Sullman and Poole £50m and £10m respectively. The firm's market cap peaked at £685m in September 2000 – an impressive start for a company set up only five years before by a man whose main business was running cabs around Reading and Northampton.
But amid this love-in between the pioneering claims company and the investment community, there were sceptics who saw a huge hole in its business model.
"I believe that the Claims Direct model was always flawed because it was too complex and was hard to fathom how the network of relationships worked," comments Michael Napier, the then president of the Law Society and former president of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers. "If, as it appeared, it was based upon recoverability in an over-optimistic way, then that was an unwise business risk by the people who took that entrepreneurial route."
It was the Access to Justice Act 1999 that created the post-legal aid world of litigation funding and allowed the recovery of a reasonable insurance premium. Kerry Underwood, senior partner at St Albans firm Underwoods and no fan of Claims Direct, recalls at that time that after the event (ATE) insurance premiums were anywhere between £85 and £170, compared with Claims Direct's £1,250. In his view the product was "purely taking advantage of recoverability. It was just never going to be the case that it was recoverable – never," Underwood claims. "This isn't being wise after the event. I said it at the time and others said it too."
Nor were the sceptics limited to personal injury (PI) lawyers, who clearly had something to lose by the domineering presence of Claims Direct. In fact, there were critical voices in the City from the off. Eamonn Flanagan is an insurance analyst at Charterhouse Securities who was instructed to take a look at the claims company on behalf of its investor clients soon after it floated. A couple of weeks before the value of Claims Direct hit its peak he signed off his report with the following blunt recommendation: 'SELL'. "We believe Claims Direct's earning potential is heavily dependent upon a currently evolving legislative process that can only be described as in a state of flux," the report argued.
Flanagan visited Claims Direct's headquarters at Telford and met up with Sullman, Poole and their finance director Paul Doona. First impressions were good and Flanagan was impressed with the "state-of the-art-offices", the "wonderful people" working there and the "seductive story" of its bosses.
But he recalls: "The first thing that struck us was that there was a naivety about them. There was something about these guys – they seemed to think they could stir up the pot and charge a flat fee for every claim they were going to examine."
He continues: "The naivety was that the insurance industry wasn't going to bat an eyelid. In fact, Mr Sullman seemed to think that the insurance industry would welcome them."
The Charterhouse report went beyond problems with recoverability and listed seven areas of concern, forewarning, for example, that the Lloyd's insurers could withdraw cover and that the defendant insurance industry could put its foot down and refuse to pay up. The last time Flanagan spoke to the Claims Direct team was via a three-hour telephone conference call explaining why they were urging investors to sell only a few months after going to the market. "It wasn't the easiest conversation I've ever had," he adds.
The recent ruling by senior costs judge Peter Hurst in the Claims Direct test cases tells an uncensored story of the company's speedy fall from grace. The ruling sought to resolve the impasse between the company and the defendant insurance industry and calculated that £621 of the original £1,250 'premium' could be recovered.
No sooner had the company floated than it was "rocking from one disaster to another" and management was "fire fighting" within weeks, the judge reports. It provides one illuminating insight into the evolution of the business model. Their first model ('the portfolio scheme') ran between 1996 and 1999 and worked on the simple principle that the company would take 30 per cent of any damages recovered and pay for the opponent's costs if the claim were to fail. "There was no element of insurance at this stage. The scheme was very successful," the judge noted. "By March 1999 Claims Direct was actively considering flotation on the Stock Market. It was, however, advised by its accountants that flotation would be handicapped by the existence of the contingent liability of an uncertain size relating to the costs indemnity which it provided under the Portfolio Scheme," he continued.
And so Claims Direct number two was built to float, but apparently not to last. The central thrust of the Betesh Fox and Class Law actions is that shareholders and franchisees (many of whom have now settled) were misled by the prospectus prior to the flotation. "It ought to have had evidence which would have made a material difference that was not published. At the end of the day it did make a material difference – namely that the company flopped. Had shareholders been told this they would not have invested so," explains Class Law's Wynne Edwards.
Poole robustly denies the substance of such allegations. Indeed, he points out that the company went through three sets of due diligence – on its private placement, an abortive AIM float and then the full stock market listing. Professional advisers had gone over "every dot and comma of the report" and it was not a question of "a couple of hicks from out in the country" duping them. He also points to the Department of Trade and Industry inquiry that does not appear to have come up with anything on the company.
"We always knew that this was a company that was going to be under the spotlight – you can't go on television nearly 100 times a day and not be," Poole continues. "It's very unfortunate what happened to Claims Direct and the people who worked there. The claimants, fortunately, haven't suffered, but people who buy shares know there is a gamble and the prices go up and go down."
So what are the claims of the shareholders? Judica's Fields says that it is "pretty clear" that Claims Direct knew it was selling ATE insurance prior to the effective date of the Access to Justice Act, and it knew those policies would not be recoverable under the act. There is a well-documented correspondence between Sullman and the Lord Chancellor's Department in July 1999, where Sullman was told that it was "extremely unlikely" that legislation would be backdated to allow the recovery of insurance premiums. Poole counters that it is unfair to take one letter out of context given the volume of correspondence and, he points out, all such records would have been handed over to their professional advisers prior to the flotation and to the DTI in its investigation.
"But this is just the tip of the iceberg I believe," says Fields. Both Class Law and the Judica/Betesh Fox action are looking at the guarantees between the First National Bank, which provided the funding for loans for the client to pay the premium, and Claims Direct, which (they argue) was not revealed in the prospectus. They are also looking closely at the Hurst judgment, which reveals that the underwriters originally worked on an assumption of a failure rate of between 4 per cent and 6 per cent – Claims Direct had somewhat optimistically pitched it at 3 per cent or less – but according to one witness statement, the rate was in the region of 25 per cent. According to Christine Oxenberg, a partner in Betesh Fox's commercial litigation department: "It appears to us that the company and the insurers were well aware of the problem before the flotation and didn't address it until after wards. So the effect was that the accounts gave a better picture of the company's finances."
Ever since that September 2000 high, the Claims Direct trajectory was dramatically downhill, pursued tenaciously by the media, including Anne Robinson's Watchdog TV programme and The Sun's memorable 'Shames Direct' campaign. The tabloid told the story of Jason, a bar worker, who was scarred for life after an accident at work involving boiling tea. After a two-year wait he was awarded £1,525, only to receive a cheque for £63. In true Sun style the television celebrity Will Hanrahan, who fronted some of the company's adverts, was on hand to be "outraged". Sadly, with some 40,000 accident victims left in the lurch, there is no shortage of such tales.
At its height the company's ceaseless TV advertising was attracting 5,000 cases a month, but by March 2001 the company was already in terminal decline and there were only 2,500 new cases a month. The beleaguered company then issued its third profits scare with its shares hitting a low of 7p. Things were only to get worse when Sullman and Poole were given permission to pursue a management buyout, prompting a bitter hostile takeover battle when they offered 10p a share below the prevailing price of 16p.
Simon Ware-Lane, the entrepreneur behind Fitness First gyms and rival PI company Claims Line, tried to pull the company out of its nose-dive last September. But in July this year the company admitted defeat, citing "the total intransigence" of the insurance industry for its demise.
But Poole blames the media witch-hunt for the collapse of the company. "The reason the company got into the situation that it did had nothing to do with recoverability," he says. "It had to do with a media campaign by the red tops."
Flanagan believes that there could have been a different end to the story had the company met the insurance industry half way. "Yes, I do think they made genuine mistakes at a number of points as the share prices started to go from top-left to bottom-right," he says. "But there was more than one point when this company could have been rescued and sorted out."
|In the spotlight: Colin Poole speaks out
Last month, Colin Poole, the 37-year-old solicitor who, together with Tony Sullman, founded Claims Direct, opened up to the Shropshire Star and acknowledged a surprising empathy with the country's most famous couple. "I know how Posh and Beckham feel now, with people taking pot-shots at them and the impact it can have on their families," he told the reporter.
There is a neat irony in that Claims Direct, the company that took the slogan 'no win, no fee' to the masses, is now being pursued by lawyers, on behalf of its investors and franchisees, on conditional fee arrangements (CFAs). The lawyers at both Class Law and Betesh Fox/Judica have drawn up CFAs.

The Intertwining of Fates ContinuedMature
Items needed
A and B's birthstones
2 crystal balls
2 vials of Blissy's Sleeping Draught
2 china models, chosen by A and B (choice must only be theirs) of either a unicorn, a dragon, a hippogriff or a stag
2 shirts with breast pockets in A and B's favourite colours (so if A likes blue, their shirt is blue)
At start, A and B are wearing the shirts of their respective favourite colours with their respective birthstones, their chosen china model and a vial each of Blissy's Sleeping Draught in their breast pockets. Crystal balls should be placed on the ground at A and B's feet.
1) Party A declares 'I will always love you [insert name of Party B].
2) Party B repeats (inserting name of Party A).
3) A: 'I will never leave you.'
4) B repeats.
5) A: 'Life would be unbearable without you'.
6) B repeats.
7) A: 'It is a crime against nature for us to be apart.'
8) B: 'Let us become inseparable.'
9) A picks up their crystal ball, closes their eyes and holds in mind their favourite colour, their birthstone and some aspect of their personality that they feel defines them. A should count to ten (note: a tingling feeling will be felt in their fingers) and then hand the crystal ball, now full of The Magical Light of the Soul, to B.
10) B holds A's crystal ball in one hand, picks up their own crystal ball with the other and does the same as A.
11) Both parties are now holding each other's Crystal Balls. Together they say, "Shine on me, oh light of my beloved's soul."
12) Ribbons will appear out of the crystal balls (from inside), the colour of the parties' auras. These should be tied together.
13) The now connected crystal balls are placed on the floor, a little to the side (out of the way for when A and B fall forwards). A declares 'Our fates are nearly entwined."
14) Out of their pockets, A and B should pull their birthstones and china models. A and B should declare something which makes them like their china models, thus activating Profound Power.
15) A and B exchange items, declaring "All that is mine is yours, including my destiny, my heart and my essence."
16) B declares "Let the final spell be cast. Forces behind The Magical Light of the Soul and Profound Power unite."
17) China models and birthstones are placed in the breast pocket of the holder and A and B say "This pocketing of these items of my beloved is symbolic: the items, and, therefore, my beloved are close to my heart."
18) The vials of Blissy's Sleeping Draught are pulled out and the corks removed.
19) A holds a vial to B's mouth and B holds the other to A's mouth. They gently tip the potion down each other's throats.
20) A and B sink to their knees and hold each other as they fall asleep. The magic works and they awake with joined souls. The crystal balls should be kept in a safe place where they can be cherished as symbolic of the bond between the two parties.
As of yet, no way has been found to reverse the intertwining of fates. Even death cannot separate the two parties. It is thought that if the crystal balls were smashed, the birthstones and china models returned to their previous owner and an unforgivable action carried out (namely marriage to another party, conception of a child with another party or violent abuse towards the 'beloved' one), the bonds might break. It should be noted, however, that the bonds are made out of the original parties' heartstrings and that any damage done to them would cause severe agony and, potentially, death.
I looked up at Peter, shocked by the last word on the scroll.
"I knew this was permanent, but I never imagined it could kill us if we tried to reverse it!"
Peter shrugged. "What did you expect? It's called the Intertwining of Fates but really, it's the Intertwining of Souls."
I took a deep breath. "Um, I need to think before we do anything like this, Peter. It's so serious... Wow, I feel like I was messing around in the gardens of Flora, now. Can you give me a minute?"
"However long you need."
I stood up and walked out of the cave. Even though I hadn't agreed to anything yet, the gravity of the Intertwining of Fates bore down upon me.
I sat down and got comfortable on a random patch of grass. I had some serious considering to do.

Hey All,
I climbed Mt. Shasta back in late-May last year and shot a short video to show the entire experience. The video has weather, snow fields, snow camps, and great footage of the climb to the summit. If you are interested in climbing Shasta this summer, this video will show you what it is like and help you prep for it: A Complete Video Summary of the Climb Up Avalanche Gulch
I tried to give prospective climbers a sense of what it is like climb the popular and least technical route: Avalanche Gulch.
Hope you enjoy,
Super rad video man. Great perspective and excellent choice of music. I got to do Mt. Whitney last year in early summer when there was still tons of snow and got to use an ice axe and crampons and glissade down. Every since that trip ive been trying to figure out my next mountaineering adventure and I think i just found it! The shot of you reaching the summit got me so fired up that I had to post even though I should be asleep cause work is gunna come real early haha. But anyways, inspirational video and really well done.

@feetfirstLocale: Sierra Nevada North
Hi Ryan, Thanks for sharing. The glissade at the end of the video was phenomenal. Good music too. After watching, I spent an hour researching (thanks for the links as well) that route up Mt. Shasta.
Thanks so much for the video, it was really amazing!! Looks like an amazing time.
@thunderheadLocale: Great Smoky Mountains
Ryan, what a fine job you did on the video! I really enjoyed it. Living at the edge of the Smokies is great but watching you summit that mountain really made me jealous. Thanks for sharing so that this Smokies boy could see some awesome mountaineering.

Live moderation is what this place needed 5 years ago!
If the Admin is still monitoring this thread. If you're going to revamp the site, the number of forums needs to be consolidated. There are way too many categories, making it very difficult to find the right place to post. Also, the humor forum needs to be brought forward and more visible. While we do tend to veer off topic across the site, having a special place for frivolity does help to keep things on track.

You newbies always like to whine about your post count. Just remember, it's not how big is, it's the quality of those you've made.

He is making his debut as Hamlet in the final production of the Donmar Warehouse's season in the West End.
Nearly all the advance tickets have been already snapped up for Law's three-month stint as the troubled Danish prince at Wyndham's theatre. But more seats will be released daily for those willing to queue up.
For any who have failed to catch Law's previous appearances on stage, director Michael Grandage promised them a great night out.
Speaking after last night's first dress rehearsal, Grandage said of Law: "It's not just a head performance, it's a big heart performance as well.
"He has an intelligence with the text which is always something you want, but he has a huge emotional range so it's very, very thrilling.
"I think those people who haven't seen him before will be amazed.
"Those who have seen him before know he has that raw exciting energy which is wonderful to see."
Law, 36, was last seen on stage at the Young Vic seven years ago when he played Marlowe's Doctor Faustus in a performance hailed by the Standard as "compelling".
Kenneth Branagh was due to direct Law in the Shakespearean tragedy but pulled out to make a film.
Hamlet runs until 22 August. After London, the Donmar production has been invited to Kronborg Castle in Denmark — the Elsinore of Shakespeare's play.

Advert Description
Pammi; 16hh, 11 Year Old. Skewbald Warmblood Mare.
Pammi has been with us for the past 8 years where we imported her from Belgium as a two year old. Pammi is exceptionally well bred. She has been slowly produced and bred a beautiful foal. She has been professionally broken in, and has taken no time in coming through the ranks quickly and comfortably. She is a forward going horse and loves to jump, so she needs an uncomplicated rider, who will sit quietly and point and steer and she will do it for you. You do need to be a confident and competent rider, she is not suited as a first horse, or a beginners horse, she is very push button, forward going and knows the aids very well – therefore would suit a competent teenager or adult who wanted to compete or take part in Pony Club/ Riding Club competitions.
Pammi is currently jumping Discovery and has a huge scopey jump and would suit a young rider or an amateur wanting to do well and have some serious fun on and have a go at winning, jumping 1.20 at home ready to progress if new rider wishes onto bigger track.
Pammi has the most fun, bubbly, sweet and loving character and is a pleasure to own and work with, she is a very special mare to us. Pammi hacks out alone and in company and is exceptionally brave and bold in everything she does, she regularly goes through the working quarry, goes around a busy council estate and is good on the roads.
Pammi is super consistent in everything she does – she loves her jumping and is always going! She is a very very genuine jumper and will help her rider out when needed, she is also very well schooled and we believe she has serious the potential to be an Event horse as she is incredibly bold and brave.
We have XC Schooled Pammi where she was her usual amazing self and bobbed round everything – with a rider who had actually never ridden her before! So she was amazing and jumped all the bigger fences and just took her rider round the course comfortably.
In August 2015 we have done some dressage with her where she has competed up to Novice with excellent marks and comments from the judges.
To prove Pammi is the ultimate all rounder in August 2015 we competed her at a ODE event where she competed in the intermediate section with good Dressage results and two good rounds SJ and XC. Pammi is currently going out BSJA when we have the time and in May 2016, she competed (BSJA) at Allerton Park with another double clear under her belt after a few months off over the winter when it was too cold for us to go out!
Pammi is a lovely horse to ride, she's the sort of horse you could take to do any discipline and she would give it her best, she is exceptionally well balanced and easy to ride for an educated rider, she jumps open water, never spooks at fillers, good indoors or outdoors, loves to jump on grass. She really is a versatile and fun horse. with us also Pammi has represented the riding clubs in their show Jumping Competitions and she has also done pleasure and fun rides.

For several years now, the Municipality and other agencies employed to capture community dogs for ABC (Animal Birth Control) have been using a rope to catch the dogs.
Recently, following the visit of Government of India officials, the Municipality experimented with various other methods, including the use of blow pipes.
Animal rights groups across the town, however, object to these methods for catching the community dogs and they are asking that the Municipality and the SPCA, who are in charge of ABC programme for the dogs, change their approach and adopt better methods for capturing the dogs.
According to R. Kanimozhi from the SCAN foundation, in the past two months, there have been a number of reports in the media about cruelty to animals in the name of ABC.
On April 2, around 25 dogs in Lawspet were killed using lethal weapons and logs because they were considered a menace to society.
Recently, there was a report in The Hindu about the veterinary doctor of the Municipality K. Coumarane using a blow pipe to capture dogs.
"It is a mockery to see a professional veterinarian using a method that is meant for wild animals on community dogs," she said.
The blow pipe, with the injection that is used for wild animals, could puncture vital organs of the dog and even cause instant death, she added. Many newspapers have started carrying stories of "dog menace" but most of them are untrue and unacceptable.
Following these articles, the municipal authorities seem to have increased their efforts to capture dogs using dangerous methods and employing labourers who do not care about the safety of the animals and who do not know anything about animal handling, Ms. Kanimozhi said.
Catching dogs with a rope could strangle the animals to death or even break their necks, paralysing them permanently.
Secondly, the move is a danger to the dog catcher, since the dog will be more prone to violence when caught in this way.
Offering some suggestions for the proper capturing of dogs, R.B. Kannan from the People's Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) said, places like Bangalore have now switched from using ropes to using what is called a "butterfly net". Using the net, dog catchers will be able to easily catch the community dogs.
The butterfly net is simply a net that is attached to the end of a stick. The dog catcher will have to simply put the net on top of the dog and scoop it up. Dogs captured in this way will tend to be more docile.
There are several volunteer organisations that are willing to also contribute to the ABC programme to ensure that the dogs are treated in a more humane way. So far, only the SPCA has been given permission to conduct ABC operations and their methods have been violent, Raghu, Secretary of PAWS said.
A few animal welfare organisations, including Animal India Trust, have submitted proposals to the government, but they have been rejected, he said.
By using the butterfly net and other standardised procedures to perform ABC will ensure that the supposed "dog menace" is reduced and at the same time the animals are not handled cruelly, he added.

Chapter 1 part 2
It was in the news the next morning. Jim Mitchell was sitting at his kitchen table, looking over the two newspapers in front of him. One was the London Times, the front page headline reading "Mysterious Weather Patterns Last Night Cause Change in Owl Flight Patterns." While the other, the Daily Prophet, simply read; "He's Gone." As he compared the two articles, Jim's wife, Alli, entered the tiny kitchen, practically dancing as she opened the small window above the sink.
"Good morning Jim." She said happily. "Isn't it wonderful? You-Know-Who is gone!"
"I was reading about that." Jim replied. "The Times say it was lightning."
"That's Muggles for you," Alli said with a smile. "They don't notice anything."
Jim shot her a look over his papers. "I certainly noticed something." He said with a sniff as his wife pulled a slender wooden stick out of a drawer and gave it a wave. Several bowls flew out of the cupboards and arranged themselves on the counters.
"How about a celebratory breakfast?" She asked. "Waffles sound good." Ingredients began to fly out of the refrigerator at remarkable speeds and Jim ducked instinctively.
"Yes!" Said a little boy, about seven years old, as he came into the room still wearing his pajamas. "Is it my birthday?" He asked, for that is the only reason for a seven year old to celebrate.
"No Asher," Jim said calmly, "but we have other reasons to be happy. Such as the fact that your mother is an excellent cook."
Alli put her hand on the boy's shoulder. "We are celebrating the birthday of another little boy." She explained. "We are celebrating Harry Potter, the Boy who Lived. Because he--" The moment was interrupted by an urgent beeping.
"Oh dear, I'm late for work!" Jim announced, checking his watch. "My boss is not going to be happy."
"Oh, but what about breakfast?" Alli asked.
"I'm sorry, but my supervisor will have a cow if I'm late."
"I'll send you some waffles for lunch then." Alli decided patiently.
"Not by owl, someone will notice--"
"Not today," Alli gave him a peck on the cheek. "There are so many owls flying around London, no one will notice one more. I promise the waffles will arrive hot on your desk."
"With butter and syrup?" Jim smiled as he shrugged into his suit jacket and grabbed his briefcase.
"Of course."
"I'll leave my office window open." The two embraced quickly.
"We dont have to be afraid anymore." Alli began as Jim's watch beeped again.
"Except of Vernon Dursley." He said dejectedly.
"He's just a Muggle, he can't take away our son's future." Alli assured him. Jim just smiled and went out the door. "Go and be the best you can be!" She called after him as he climbed into the car.
"I will." He called back before heading off to the drill company. Asher simply sat at the table, and poured more syrup onto his waffle, which had delivered itself to his plate.
"This is the best day ever!" He said. His mother nodded and prepared her owl to take some letters to her own friends and family,to spread the news. You-Know-Who was gone, and their children were safe.

The powerful backbench 1922 committee, which oversees leadership contests, has been asked to overhaul the rules to make it harder to depose a sitting leader.
The review comes amid fears that Mr Cameron would be vulnerable to a challenge from backbench MPs if his popularity plummets as Prime Minister.
Mayor Johnson is widely seen as a future contender if he steps down from City Hall and picks up a safe Tory seat. Under the current rules, any Tory MP can write a secret letter requesting a leadership ballot and their requests can never be rescinded.
As a result, the number of requests can pile up over years until they hit the magic 15 per cent of all MPs needed to trigger a formal contest. Changes being considered include putting an "expiry date" on letters which would require disgruntled MPs to write again after a certain period.

15 Books to Empower Tween Girls

Built To Last, the defining management study of the nineties, showed how great companies triumph over time and how long-term sustained performance can be engineered into the DNA of an enterprise from the very beginning.
But what about companies that are not born with great DNA? How can good companies, mediocre companies, even bad companies achieve enduring greatness? Are there those that convert long-term mediocrity or worse into long-term superiority? If so, what are the distinguishing characteristics that cause a company to go from good to great?
Over five years, Jim Collins and his research team have analyzed the histories of 28 companies, discovering why some companies make the leap and others don't. The findings include:

In her official Instagram account, Andolong confirmed that Miguel is now battling testicular cancer. But the "Home Sweetie Home" star is hopeful that it can still be cured with chemotherapy. "He had his first chemo early this evening. He is still slightly sedated often which makes it hard to for us to find the right timing to show him that we are beside him and to talk to him. But on the second day of our visit, he was a little lucid and the minute he heard my voice he reached for my hand to squeeze and I saw the most beautiful smile I've ever seen in him," Andolong recalled. "When it was my husband's turn he was just so overwhelmed to see his tatay who kept kissing him and broke into tears with no sound but with so much relief and love not only on his part but ours as well," she said. Andolong then extended her appreciation to their family and friends for their support during what she described as "the greatest challenge" they have to face as parents. "This recent adversity our family had to face made our faith in our good and merciful GOD extremely stronger, our love for each other immensely deeper," Andolong wrote in the caption. She also said they "wholeheartedly accepted God's test, hard as it may be, and placed our full and complete trust in Him!" "Our faith never wavered or waned. Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ," Andolong said. Based on Andolong's posts, they are in San Francisco, although De Leon flew back to Manila. The veteran actor is part of Book 2 of the hit primetime series "Ikaw Lamang" with Kim Chiu and Coco Martin.

Baughan running for Diman Regional School Committee.
My name is John "Jack" Baughan of River Road, Westport, and I'm running for Diman Regional School Committee.
I have served on Westport town committees for 23 years. I chaired the Finance Committee, the Capital Investment Planning Committee, and was a founder of the Agricultural Open Space Committee. I contributed chapters on Economic Development for both the 2000 Master Plan and the current update project.
In Fall River I chaired Junior Achievement as well as the Salvation Army for many years.
As a graduate of West Point, a night intruder pilot in Korea, and a successful executive for several large American Companies (Canadian Curtiss Wright, Leesona Corp., and Rockwell International) I have learned the value of identifying potential on which to build successful enterprises. I was group combat operations officer for the 3rd Bomb Group of the 5th AF in Kunssn, Korea, operations to the Yalu River and flew with the AF 13th Sqdn, the oldest combat squadron, formed in France during WW1. I proudly hold the DFC.
In rebuilding underperforming business organizations, identifying leadership personnel is the main key to success in my opinion. In every culture from Hong Kong to Russia the same instincts were vital in achieving assigned goals. Teams are built around such people.
Proper educational backgrounds were a considerable part of that selective process, and working in that environment helped me conclude that educational achievements were at least predictive in certain ways regarding future team successes. It is even more essential in the fast pace of today.
This is the value I see in Diman and their educational process of developing hands-on leaders. Learning the basics under competitive disciplines is evident in Diman and rewarded by successful employers.
An unfortunate four-town charter agreement in 1963 limits Westport to 5% of the students at any one time, whereas Fall River gets 75%, and Swansea and Somerset get 10% each.
I would like to work to change that. We also pay the highest per pupil tuition and thousands more than similar WPHS cost to our taxpayers. I seek a charter fair to all concerned.
The Diman Regional School Committee is defined as one member each from the three small suburbs, with Fall River receiving three seats as appointed by the mayor.
For the better part of 12 years the current representative from Westport, who works for the city of Fall River, has voted with Fall River interests making the board a 4-2 board for the mayor. I will try hard to open up that charter for renegotiation as quickly as possible. This will require assistance from state regulatory agencies now entrenched with the original formula. Meanwhile I pledge to vote for Westport interests only.
Westport also needs better communications with our committee representative in keeping town residents informed of the committee's actions and future direction, a process that is now missing. What do you really know about Diman?
I am willing to make the necessary effort if elected. The cause is fair and the fight worth it for Westport students.

Ahlan wa sahlan!Mature
She couldn't believe the heat. Her soles were actually melting to the tarmac. They didn't tell her it would be this hot. What was she thinking? A year away from home, training in a new job, $1000/week cash, with a shared flat included. Yes, that was all very nice, but it was the no rent, no men, no family, no responsibilities that really appealed to her. All she had to do was open doors, store luggage, heat meals, hand out newspapers, smile and ask "chicken or beef?". She thought of it as a glorified waitress job, it can't possibly be that difficult, so why does everybody make such a fuss about it?
They had landed after their 12-hour flight from New York, exhausted, dehydrated, and half-awake. All 300 of them, from Canada, the USA, Australia, England, and Ireland. They were to be the support crew for the millions of Hajis that would soon descend on this small, but powerful country. With tourism forbidden, it is the only time that such an influx of non-residents were expected and they were tightly guarded and controlled, in case the prophet seem less enticing than a new residence.
"Yalla imshi bint!" came sputtering from a white thoub robed man with a dark nicely shaped beard. His equally dark eyes peered at us from under his gutrah as he beckoned us to follow him. We shuffled through to the terminal, grateful to be embraced by the icy fingers of the air conditioning. She was glad she had brought along a reference book on all the strange customs, clothing and language she could expect here. She would have to look up that phrase later, she told herself, it must be useful as she had already heard it several times over the past 24-hours.
"When do we get to lie down and sleep!?" asked the tense blonde next to her in a drawling New South Wales accent. "I have been awake for yonks!" She smiled at her stupidly marvelling that she used the word "yonks", she had never heard anyone but her grandmother use that word.
The tall, lithe brunette next to her tossed her hair back while commenting on the fact that we still had to queue up for our uniforms, be selected with our flat-mates and then it is at least a 30-minutes in the lorries to the compound, but that we would arrive just in time to don our bathers and go for a dip.
"Oh this is just fucking great" her friend moaned under her breath behind her "it is not enough that we have to deal with foreigners, but do we have to relearn English too!? Did you understand anything those two said?" She giggled with a nod and replied "don't worry, I can translate for you if you like." At least our flight was only a few hours, she thought to herself, those girls must have had an additional 12-hour flight to get to New York, so she felt sorry for them.
