Progress on getting progressive radio back; guide to accessing progressive talkers published
Hello Progressive Radio Seattle (PRS) Listeners,
We continue to work towards bringing progressive radio back to Seattle! Below is a brief update:
We have heard from so many of you who want to help. We need a plan. So our first big group event will be a Visioning Party/Gathering! Probably in the Seattle area in early March. We need to create our Vision together, so we can design our next steps. Can you help plan this event?
1. An email address is available for your use to reach us: email@example.com
2. We also have a public folder on the Cloud:
The direct link: http://sdrv.ms/10jpp9R
Posted there for your perusal: Progressive Radio Users Guide.pdf to find your progressive talkers on-line, or via a variety of devices.
· List of ways to help! NOTE: We apologize if we have not gotten back to you if you have offered to help. We have been collecting your contact info, and will definitely be in touch! More help will be needed. Let us know you are interested!
Update to Petition Signers, sent: 1/18/13
· Carl Wolfsons Morning Show is back in Portland, Oregon, streaming live! Cool that they are making progress! CarlWolfson.com
3. We are working with Seattle City Councilmember Nick Licata to arrange a meeting with Al Gore on Feb. 14, to discuss Mr. Gores insight on the future of progressive radio in Seattle and across the country
4. Our website is under construction! Thanks to Rennie Sawade and Mike Visser.
5. We are meeting soon with an insider who was very involved with AM 1090 for the first four years. His expertise will be invaluable.
6. Do you have any rich, generous progressive contacts?
7. There is a model of a successful community-owned commercial progressive radio station in Minneapolis that we are following up on. How did they do it?
8. Remember, to sign the petitions, and pass them along. Collectively, we have over 10,000 signatures (but Oregon has 30,000!)
Change.org - Will you take 30 seconds to sign it right now? Here's the link:
http://www.change.org/petitions/save-progressive-talk-radio-am-1090-kptk-cbs-radio-seattle-keep-am-1090-kptk-progressive-talk-radio-on-the-free-airwaves. You can sign this important petition by clicking here.
MoveON.org petition:
That's why I created a petition on SignOn.org to the advertisers and program director at Seattle AM Radio Station 1090, which says:
Don't let Seattle lose progressive radio! As a local radio listener, I pledge to support with my dollars any advertiser on any station that chooses to broadcast progressive programming.
Click here to add your name to this petition, and then pass it along to your friends.
We are confident that we're either going to see an existing radio station pick up progressive radio in Seattle - or better yet, an listener-owned radio station will fund a whole new progressive talk radio station.
The road ahead is long. But hey, Portland has scored a big early win, and we can do the same! Listen to Carl's show, call in (toll-free 877-CARL-066), tell your friends, and patronize his sponsors. CarlWolfson.com - As Ed Schultz says: You know what to do!
We want to assure you that we are working on the need to bring progressive radio back to Seattle. We'll be in touch with next steps - as well as other opportunities to put this community into action for our progressive priorities.
Thank you.
Progressive Radio Seattle Team

1. The petition link is broken
Is there a new one?
I'd love to help get liberal radio back up in Seattle & Portland.
It's pretty suspicious when there are plenty of RW and sports stations but Liberals need to buy a device and pay a fee to listen.

2. Link is broken as was noted above
I began listening to AM1090 at midnight the day it began. I listened almost 24/7. NPR just ain't doin' it. I miss Thom, Stephie, Randi, Norm, Mike, Pap, all the others, even the gardening show. I am listening online to the Chicago station ~ but this does not transport to my old '92 Honda's radio, lol.
I would not only sign the petition, while I live in Kenmore (Seattle native tho), I would go to a meet up or whatever there would be. I was so happy when this station began and was a loyal listener. While I am low income I tried to support whatever advertising there was when I could afford it ~ and recommended the services to others.
I wrote to the CBS execs but never even got an automatic email back. I am wondering what CBS execs are thinking in NYC to change this station to sports ~ when we already have a lot of sports stations. I bet their ratings are now in the toilet, and they knew this would happen. What is this all about? Are they mad they lost their Romney influence and thinking Progressive Radio is "brain washing" the public with true facts or something?
Just wondering ...

4. Thanks for all you do eridani!
Any news?
I gave up on NPR years ago, now I see why again... And I used to donate to PBS and NPR. No more, after listening to that weak tea, and on weak signal too. I can give straight to Free Speech and Pacifica.
If I can get reception, I listen to Democracy Now! and Thom Hartmann - that's it. Silence is better than pap.

6. Peter Collins on progressive talk radio
Ratings range from flat to flat-lined: in 2012, Clear Channel-owned KPOJ in Portland and CBS-owned KPTK in Seattle showed audience numbers so low that they were not listed by Arbitron; Clear Channel's WDTW in Detroit barely showed a pulse at .1 percent, and the once-powerhouse, now-struggling media conglomerate recently agreed to donate WDTW to a local community group. In his second attempt at WVKO in Columbus, Ohio, Gary Richards was forced to sign off just before Christmas 2012. Progressive talker Jeff Santos waged a valiant four-year struggle in Boston, and I was a consultant in his effort last year to add eight new markets in battleground states; we had no choice but to lease air time, and once again the Democrats who had the most to gain failed to support the effort.
The only exception I've found is Madison, Wisconsin, market #100, where Clear Channel's WXXM-FM, "The Mic" jumped a full share point to a respectable 3.3 this fall. Back in 2006, a local group led by activist Aldous Tyler rallied support, and a planned format change was halted. Similar efforts are underway in Seattle and in Portland, where longtime KPOJ morning host Carl Wolfson has just launched a live webstream show weekday mornings 7-9 AM Pacific. It's worth noting that Arbitron has switched to a "people meter" system that has produced lower numbers for talk programming in general and progressive talk in particular.
Al Franken is in the Senate, Ed Schultz appears to be doing well on MSNBC, Thom Hartmann has a nightly TV show on the RT network, Bill Press and Stephanie Miller are simulcast on Current TV (which has just been sold to Al Jazeera). But their radio shows face tough sledding and possible elimination in 2013.
As someone who took substantial personal risk in syndication and station ownership, I can tell you that progressive talk has not panned out as a viable business. Clinton's 1996 deregulation of broadcasting and the end of the Fairness Doctrine in 1987 didn't help. I do think the FCC should require some balance of viewpoints on the stations it regulates, through the license renewal process, but there is simply no interest on the part of Obama and his appointees in regulatory reform - even as the president is pilloried by right-wing radio on a daily basis. Air America's parade of management blunders produced the downward spiral that brought us to this tipping point for progressive talk radio, and most station owners, rightly or wrongly, see that failure as an indication that audiences won't support liberal talk radio.
In radio, we always like to end on an upbeat note. Here's the best I can muster: if you want to help keep the surviving progressive talk shows alive, subscribe to the podcasts of your favorite progressive hosts - it's a critical stream of revenue as these programs fight for survival.

7. Meeting with former KPTK advertising insider
Meeting with a KPTK Insider
Our Progressive Radio in Seattle (PRS) Team had a meeting this past week with a former advertising sales person for KPTK who provided us with some interesting information about the demise of 1090 Progressive Talk.
1090 has been owned by CBS since its inception and was the only progressive talk station owned by CBS in the country.
CBS chose to not spend any money on advertising for KPTK and did minimal guerilla marketing for promotion.
When KPOJ in Portland first became a progressive talk station, they spent money on advertising and it did well for the first year.
Please help us build signers on our petition
Our SignOn petition has over 9,100 signers. We want to build it to over 10,000. If you know someone who hasnt signed yet and would be interested in what we are doing, please send them the link: Dont Let Seattle Lose Progressive Radio http://signon.org/sign/dont-let-seattle-lose-1?mailing_id=9335&source=s.em.cr&r_by=398275
When were ready, MoveOn will pay for making one set of paper copies for us to deliver. The plan is to create a media event, if we can find a reporter that wants to cover it. We can deliver electronic copies of the signers anytime.
Website in progress
A volunteer is helping create a website that will be on a free platform. Well let you know when the site is up and running.
Meeting with Al Gore?
A member of our PRS team met briefly with Al Gore (while he was on his book tour) and shared our plight of losing progressive talk radio in the NW.

9. Report on meetinf of 3/20
Julia Chase firstname.lastname@example.com Progressive Radio in Seattle (PRS) UPDATE!
Our PRS Team had a meeting on March 20th and we spent the majority of our time discussing our new website that is being created. It will be ready for public access in about a month after most of the major content is in place. It will include a history, mission (Why local public radio is still needed despite all of the new technology), ways to access progressive talk shows through the web, ways for people to become involved, and other progressive radio news.
We are still working on making a contact at the Seattle Times and with Senator Maria Cantwells office. With our SignOn petition at over 9,500 signatures, we are still looking at the best way to have an impact in the delivery of the signatures. If you have any contacts with local radio stations or newspapers who may have an interest in what were doing, please let Carolyn know. We would still like to make it to 10,000 signatures, so please send this link to anyone you know who may want to sign: http://signon.org/sign/dont-let-seattle-lose-1
We also discussed a Social Event, such as 1090 Listener Reunion or 1090 Post Mortum. Members of the team are evaluating possible places, and the concept for the meeting. Music and possible speakers were discussed (Norman Goldman, Ron Reagan, Nick Hanauer - giving his famous TED talk about how the 1% are NOT the job creators. Check it out on YouTube!). If you would like to help plan this event in any way, please send us your area of interest to firstname.lastname@example.com
Please sign the MoveON petition (above), so we get over 10,000 signatures.
Also, if you know of an AM radio station with a strong signal for sale, please let us know. We found a limited signal for sale in Renton for 2.8 million $...
Or, if you happen to have several million $ to invest, that would also be very helpful...we have a marketing plan.
Or even better, we would really like to create a listener-owned commercial progressive, strong signal, station!!!
We are hopeful, yet concerned, about the availability to get access to a strong radio signal! Why doesn't the FCC care about balance of the public airwaves?
Hangin' in there,
Julia Chase

Steph and the Mooks - KLAY AM 1180 has changed, and is now airing Stephanie Miller "live" 6:00 - 9:00 AM. According to Bruce of KLAY (I called him), Stephanie prefers to air during the live show time slot because they get listeners calling into her show! Lots of people will be happy to hear of this change, especially those who listen while getting ready for work, and those who can tune in to the station while commuting.
Thom Hartmann is still airing on KLAY AM 1180, 4:00-7:00 PM, and KBCS 91.3 FM, Noon-3:00 PM.
A team of people have volunteered to plan the 1090 Listener Rally. We will hear more soon!

We will bring progressive talk radio back to Seattle! Thanks for your help, interest and devotion!
Julia Chase and the PRS Team
NPR has some progressive offerings, but its highest ranked programs are mostly news shows and conversation programs with broad appeal. And most of the time NPR is much too well-behaved to get a person all stirred up.
Theres room for a little passion in media. Sometimes you want a laugh, sometimes you want to share indignation. Sometimes we all want to know that someone else sees the same craziness were seeing.
Some news is just absurd and mainstream media dont capture that well. They play everything straight no matter how ridiculous.
Think about the popularity of Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and Bill Maher on television. Of course, theyre all comedians. Serious commentators on the left dont often have the same bite as those on the right.
Tamler said shes tried to listen to commentators across the spectrum, but finds the ones on the right too acerbic, and of course she doesnt agree with them anyway. So shes going to continue her quest.
These days she and her friends could always stream progressive talk over the Internet, or sign up for a podcast or a politically acceptable Twitter feed, but Tamler says she likes to listen to the radio as she drives around the island, and she wants it to be her local station.

Subject: The comments already showing up RE: Seattle Times article!
Check out the emotional posts slamming progressives and liberals. Why dont we post some intelligent, unemotional comments to contribute in a positive, adult way in support of Jerry Large taking up our cause?
Please make a comment to the article online. They will close the postings in 1-2 days, but the archive will stay behind. It is important to have our thoughts in there! We want a terrestrial radio station that provides an independent voice!
It is easy, to register to be a Times commentor! Just give your email and a login name.
I just posted:
The Telecom Act of '96 was one of the worst things to happen to radio, and that was on top of a trend that was already going downhill. We really need to demand Congress finally understand that the airwaves belong to all of us, and those using the bandwidth need to have some real public interest obligations to their communities. When we allowed the media to be only about making money, things went downhill fast!
Please take a few minutes to get your thoughts in there! As Thom says, Tag youre it.
Also call or email Jerry to say "Thanks for writing the article!"

13. Fisher family investment in progressive radio?
Information about the sale of Fisher Communications to Sinclair
Fisher Communications, owner of Seattles KOMO-TV and 19 other television stations, will be acquired for $373 million by Sinclair Broadcast Group, the countrys largest Fox affiliate. Sinclair said it plans to keep Fishers three Seattle radio stations KOMO Newsradio, KPLZ STAR 101.5 and KVI 570 even though its focus is TV. (Seattle Times, April 11, 2013: http://seattletimes.com/html/businesstechnology/2020756564_fisherbroadcastingxml.html)
In a recent conversation with someone who knows the Fisher family, I learned that the family only owns 30% of the stock in what is now a publicly traded company. So, the decision to go ahead with this sale to a highly conservative media group is in the hands of the Fisher stockholders. The Fisher family does have a long-time reputation as liberal (Dan Evans) Republicans, a species that may no longer exist, but there may be some hope that the family will want to purchase a station that could become a new progressive broadcasting station in the Seattle Area. We can hope.
Come to the Meaningful Movie Night in Wallingford this Friday, showing Corporate FM the killing of local commercial radio
Here is another story about the demise of the public airways. The film shows at 7:30 PM at the Keystone Congregational United Church of Christ, 5019 Keystone Place N., Seattle. For more information, check the website: http://meaningfulmovies.org/

16. Notes from the meeting
Meeting Recap
Progressive Radio Seattle (PRS) Reunion/Rally Planning
Wednesday, June 5
Northgate Community Center
Notes taken by Lorraine Jones
Julia Chase, Phil Harrison and Larisa Wanserski were on hand to represent the Progressive Radio Seattle Team (PRS). They welcomed the party planning group and invited each of the attendees to introduce themselves and share why they think its vital to bring a progressive radio station back to Seattle.
Julia & Phil gave a brief recap about the activities of the PRS team in the last several months and Larisa expressed the teams belief in the value of securing a terrestrial radio station as well as providing ongoing support and publicity for progressive voices currently on digital and satellite technologies. The team reported that a number of different business models are being explored and that a PRS website is being developed for public launch in the coming weeks.
Note: The team was asked if a mission had been articulated for the group. Following is the language on the upcoming PRS website:
Progressive Radio Seattle
Promoting Progressive Talk on the Public Airwaves and Beyond!
PRS is a group of volunteers working to:
1. Bring progressive radio back to Seattle
2. Promote awareness/support of progressive radio on the free public airwaves and complementary technologies
The group had a general discussion about the purpose of the proposed Reunion/Rally. The event could:
focus enthusiasm
generate a larger body of people
prove we exist and we are serious
give voice to the people
promote progressive values
support advertisers who had supported AM1090 Progressive Talk
The group then turned to general logistical concerns. It was decided that, given all the planning that needed to be accomplished, the event should be scheduled for late September/early October. Other regional events should be researched to avoid possible conflicts and to also create a list of events where the PRS team could have a marketing/outreach presence. It was decided that the attendance goal should be from 100 to 300 people.
Since progressive radio listeners live across such a wide region, it was suggested that a series of smaller, localized events take place leading up to the big Reunion/Rally. The Progressive Progressive Dinner would take place on different nights throughout the greater Seattle area organized and hosted by different people in their homes. It would be a terrific way to build enthusiasm and awareness in the weeks leading to the main event.
Various attendees are researching possible facilities through the Seattle Parks system and area Labor groups. Vivian McPeak, director of Seattles Hempfest http://www.hempfest.org/ shared an especially helpful and informative message of encouragement for our efforts. He noted that the Hempfest blog would be an appropriate publicity outlet.
The group did not break into sub workgroups as planned, but continued a general discussion of other specific planning topics: Program, Food/Beverages, Marketing/Publicity, Community Outreach and Administration. Many people expressed that the event should have some sort of appropriate educational component -- handouts and a literature table at minimum.
The group also needs to decide how finances will be handled. The PRS team is NOT an official entity so it cannot accept formal donations. Several possibilities are being pursued to resolve this important issue.
The PRS team will contact the folks who signed up to work on a particular subgroup or to help with the database and other administrative duties. Lorraine Jones offered to set up a private facebook page that the party planning group can use to share information.
The planners decided that it would be important to meet in person every two weeks; other possible meeting places will be researched and meetings will be scheduled in different locations to accommodate as much geographic diversity as possible.
The next meeting is Wednesday, June 19 from 6 to 7:45 pm:
Columbia Branch Library
4721 Rainier Ave. S.
Seattle , WA 98118
(206) 386-1908

15. Next meeting in Seattle 6/19
Thanks so much to everyone who came to our very first Progressive Radio Party Planning meeting -- and especially to Lorraine for taking such excellent notes! It was very gratifying to hear so many heartfelt personal expressions of support for local terrestrial radio. It's worth the fight, eh?
It was a terrific session and I thing we got a good start on planning our Reunion/Rally. In the next several days, you'll receive a meeting recap with a rundown of ways to get involved.
In the meantime, we've scheduled our next meeting for Wednesday, June 19 from 6 to 7:45 pm:
Columbia Branch Library
4721 Rainier Ave. S.
Seattle , WA 98118
(206) 386-1908
Thank you to Janet for making the arrangements.
Last night, the group expressed an interest in getting together every couple of weeks to keep the momentum going -- we'll move locations to try to accommodate folks from different areas. FYI, we also thought the best timing for the rally would be early October. There's a lot to do.
Stay tuned!

17. Addendum
Just so you all know, there is a lot happening to bring progressive talk radio back to Seattle and the great NW!
We are planning the Rally/Reunion for Fall. An energized group of 20+ event planners have met and will continue to meet. Interested in helping? We could use your help! Contact: email@example.com
We are actively building our Web Site and it will be going Live this Summer!
We have a volunteer who has offered to help with our Database, which is awesome, and very needed, as we have over 11,000 people who want to be kept informed!
We have business people, legal experts, event planners, web designers, radio and media personalities, and progressive advocates, all involved and excited to share their skills and energy towards this cause of bring progressive radio back to the NW, and hopefully, beyond!.
So, hang in there. And please contact us at: email@example.com
A quote from A.J. SEATTLE, WA, tells it like it is on our Change.org Petition:
I am concerned about the obvious effort made across the nation to eliminate equitable access to the airwaves. regionally we have witnessed two major markets, Portland and Seattle simultaneously losing their only progressive radio access through acquisition by a group replacing the format with sports talk radio in a market already saturated by such. Such blatant access control is not free market, it is domination and outside control to effect thought and awareness. We need restore equal access and freedom of speech parameters to our media. Such control as we have witnessed enforces an overly saturated single position political agenda.
Thank you A.J.!

24. Is low power radio part of the answer?
A rare window of opportunity will soon open. Local communities nationwide will have the chance to tear open the drapes, roll up the blinds, throw that window wide open and shout out to the surrounding region and potentially worldwide.
A Low Power FM radio band could soon be at your fingertips. From October 15 to 19, the Federal Communications Commission will be accepting applications from folks whod like to fire up their own radio station.
A couple of caveats: these stations cannot be used for commercial purposes, nor can they be run by individuals. It generally takes a village of volunteers to get one of these LPFM critters on the aira nonprofit village, to be precise.
And these stations are only allowed to broadcast at a level of 100 watts, hence the name Low Power. So your geographical footprint of reception would only be a few miles. Enough to serve a local community.
But with Internet streaming readily available, the skys potentially the limit.

26. KXRY, progressive talk and NW music, to start in Portland
And we're delighted to share the terrific news from our friends from Blue Oregon about Carl Wolfson's return to the Portland airwaves:
When Clear Channel killed KPOJ's progressive talk radio, thousands of Oregonians lost access to a lot of great progressive talk. People pulled together and built the Save KPOJ movement and helped Carl Wolfson back behind the mic, with an internet radio show.
Now, it's time to take this to the next level. Progressive talk radio is coming to the FM dial in Portland: KXRY -- to be known as XRAY.¬FM will be a combination of progressive talk radio and music from the Northwest. It's a local, not-for-profit radio station.
Soon Portland Area residents willl be able to hear Carl Wolfson and Thom Hartmann on their FM dial. Before that happens, XRAY.-FM will soon be available online, so everyone in Oregon will be able to enjoy this new progressive radio station.
Progressive talk radio is coming back!

Mining companies have committed to spending more than $24 billion over the next three years to boost the capacity of major ports in a bid to meet booming demand for the country's commodities.
The expansion push started last week when the first ship sailed from the $225 million Utah Point expansion at the giant northern West Australian harbour of Port Hedland.
At least $7.5 billion has been pledged on further expansions over the next three years at Port Hedland alone, the world's largest bulk minerals export port by volume.
It is part of a planned five-year $17 billion port-related infrastructure spending spree in WA as miners race to satisfy seemingly insatiable Chinese demand for iron ore.
On the east coast, in Queensland and NSW, Asian demand for coking and thermal coal will underpin construction of new ports and expansion worth more than $7.4 billion over the next five years.
The development of three completely new West Australian ports and major expansions at existing facilities has the potential to more than double the state's port capacity. The huge investments, from both private and public sectors, are needed as companies and the WA government grapple with the challenge of how to move a forecast 50 per cent increase in the state's iron ore exports by 2015.
If the official predictions are right, Port Hedland will grow by 60 per cent over that period.
WA's entire port system would ship at least 530 million tonnes annually of the key steel-making commodity.
John Holland Group, a subsidiary of
The Utah Point berth in Port Hedland's inner harbour, which was launched last Friday, was a significant development for the smaller end of the mining industry. The $225 million project is earmarked for emerging resource companies such as
Atlas, which tipped in about $50 million towards the cost of the private-public partnership, has plans to eventually ship 15 million tonnes of iron ore a year from its Pilbara operations by 2012, with most to run through Utah Point.
Five years ago, well before his company had shipped its first load of iron ore, Atlas Iron managing director
"I was told by the port official I was meeting with, 'there will be no third-party shipping through Port Hedland, the Fortescue project will not get up and the only way of doing business in this port is to do a mine-gate sale to BHP Billiton'," Mr Flanagan said.
Fortescue has since become the third force in Australia's iron ore industry with an annual export capacity of 55 million tonnes at Port Hedland. It will contribute up to $1.5 billion to boost this to 120 million tonnes by the middle of 2012, and has an interest in the proposed $4.1 billion Anketell Point port near Karratha, about 200 kilometres west of Port Hedland. The WA government is backing the Anketell Point project with $3.5 million in planning money.
However, funding for the privately owned port, which is due to be commissioned in 2014 and could ultimately have an annual capacity of 350 million tonnes, remains unclear.
The transformation in Atlas Iron's fortunes, as for other junior miners seeking their turn in the sun, parallels the rampant demand from China for the key steel-making commodities.
While WA has until now avoided the bottlenecks that plagued NSW coalminers, the system is beginning to creak as emerging miners battle for limited unallocated space.
Port Hedland Port Authority chief executive Andre Bush has seen the port's capacity almost double from 2005 to more than 200 million tonnes this financial year. In 2005
The capacity will be shared between various parties including BHP, Fortescue Metals Group, Hancock Prospecting and the North West Iron Ore Alliance.
"Fortunately the growth has been staggered over the years, but since 2006 there has been continuous . . . development," Mr Bush said. "Firstly with the Fortescue Metals Group ramp-up, secondly with the BHP Billiton expansions, and finally with our own Utah Point berth."
Even the global financial crisis failed to put a dampener on construction activity, and with expansions under way the level of activity will continue to grow. "It's extremely complex and it's impossible to make everyone happy," Mr Bush said. "Everyone wants to get into the inner harbour and the existing channel."
BHP, with its partners, committed $US1.9 billion in January towards early expenditure on its Rapid Growth 6 project, including coastal works, that will allow it to utilise its 240 million tonnes annual allowance at Port Hedland by 2013. Fortescue, Gina Rinehart's Hancock Prospecting and junior miners such as Atlas and Brockman Resources will account for the rest. But the final investment decision on BHP's RG6 project is not expected until later this year, when it finds out whether competition regulators have approved its proposed $150 billion Pilbara iron-ore joint venture with
Although the market is increasingly sceptical that the tie-up will proceed, if it does, it would probably spell the end of plans to build a further 400 million tonnes a year outer harbour at Port Hedland. It is expected that Rio and BHP would choose the less costly option of expanding Rio's existing facilities at Cape Lambert.
Rio is also hedging its bets ahead of the joint venture announcement, approving last month preparatory spending of $1.2 billion of an estimated $US10 billion to expand its Pilbara iron-ore operations to 330 million tonnes a year. Most of the money spent to date so far has gone towards upgrades at Cape Lambert port from its current 80 million tonnes a year capacity to 180 million tonnes by 2015.
The successful completion of the joint venture would have implications for junior miners, including perhaps Fortescue, who would be looking to BHP to become a cornerstone investor in the outer Port Hedland harbour, onto which they could bolt their own long-term expansion plans.
The only other option in that case for Pilbara miners to get their ore to market would be the proposed Anketell Point. But with a price tag of $4.1 billion, the project's timetable of 2015 looks ambitious, especially since CITIC Pacific's nearby Cape Preston port, which is being built explicitly for the Chinese-controlled magnetite iron-ore operation, has suffered significant cost blowouts.
Close attention is also being paid further south in Western Australia to the state and federal government-backed Oakajee port in the emerging mid-west iron ore precinct. The $4.4 billion project last month signed a memorandum of understanding with three miners in the region, including Gindalbie Metals' Karara mine, which silenced some doubters who said the primarily Japanese-backed project was having trouble raising finance. The West Australian and federal governments have each promised $339 million to fund common-user infrastructure at the port, pending a bankable feasible study, which is expected at the end of this year.
On the east coast, the largest single investment in port-related development to meet Asian demand for coal is the $4 billion Wiggins Island coal terminal at the port of Gladstone, which will have up to 30 million tonnes of annual capacity when it opens in 2014, but could be expanded to 80 million tonnes a year.
The construction of Wiggins Island will add to capacity at two existing facilities at Gladstone, which achieved record exports of more than 83 million tonnes in 2009-10.
Xstrata is also investigating development of the $1 billion Balaclava Island coal export terminal project (formerly the Port Alma coal export terminal project), about 40 kilometres north of Gladstone as a 35 million tonnes per year coal terminal. The company is currently undertaking pre-feasibility and is targeting first shipments in 2015.
Further expansions at Queensland's Abbot Point coal terminal, Dalrymple Bay coal terminal and Hay Point coal terminal could see annual capacity at those ports almost double in the next five years from 154 million tonnes to more than 295 million tonnes, depending on feasibility studies.
North Queensland Bulk Ports Corporation, the port authority for the sea port facilities at Hay Point, Mackay and Abbot Point, is up to the challenge of doubling capacity at the ports, according to chief executive Brad Fish.
The first milestone at Abbot Point will be the completion of the X50 expansion at the Xstrata-operated Abbot Point coal terminal, which will be fully completed in the middle of 2011, Mr Fish said. Expansions at Abbot Point will increase annual capacity from 25 million tonnes annually to 50 million tonnes in 2011 at a cost of $818 million.
But BHP Billiton and Hancock Coal are investigating further upgrades that would see total capacity at Abbot Point lift to 160 million tonnes annually.
"Hancock Coal and BHP Billiton's new terminal facilities, called Terminal 2 and Terminal 3, are currently in planning and could be commissioned in stages from 2014 and 2015," Mr Fish said. "The other project is a multi-cargo facility, which will service a number of industries including the coal industry, and we would hope to commence that project by the middle of next year."
The port of Hay Point, about 40 kilometres south of Mackay, will see coal-focused development at two separate coal export terminals, the Dalrymple Bay coal terminal and the BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance owned and operated Hay Point coal terminal.
Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal Management, which operates Dalrymple Bay facilities, has expanded the terminal's capacity to 85 million tonnes annually and is making plans to double capacity to service Queensland coalminers Anglo Coal, Rio Tinto Coal and Allied, BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance, Xstrata, Peabody, Macarthur, Vale and Aquila Resources.
The government has endorsed proposals from Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal Management and Indian mining and utility giant Adani Group to participate with North Queensland Bulk Ports as preferred proponents in developing a master plan for 120 million tonnes per year coal export facilities at Dudgeon Point, 5 kilometres north-west of existing Hay Point coal terminals.
BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance is separately proceeding with plans to expand its Hay Point terminal from 44 million tonnes a year to 75 million tonnes in three stages over the longer term.
Further south in the world's largest coal supply chain, the Hunter Valley, port upgrades worth $1.6 billion will lift export capacity by 56 million tonnes annually to 199 million tonnes by 2013. Port Waratah Coal Services has development approval for 145 million tonnes per year from its Carrington and Kooragang terminals, up from its current combined capacity of 113 million tonnes.

SmartStyles - for Microsoft Word
and auto‑numbering
SmartStyles is a highly effective system for organisations producing documents that require consistency
of house style through paragraph styles and auto‑numbering.
The SmartStyles environment is straightforward to use and for clarity, employs a minimum number of styles.
However, its underlying design and impressive functionality provide a comprehensive solution that conventional
methods cannot achieve.
A companion product, SmartTOCs produces sophisticated custom tables of contents to firms' requirements
at the click of a button.
Makes Word much more suitable for long, auto‑numbered documents and optimises numbering reliability.
Provides a more friendly, efficient and informative environment for users.
Works with your house style and provides controlled and hassle‑free flexibility if required.
Works with departmental, corporate client and third party styles.
Instantly provides all the functionality needed to work effectively with styles without bespoke development
Enables easier interchange of documents with any firm using logical styles and auto‑numbering
and seamlessly with firms also using SmartStyles.
Enhances the creation, editing, storage and usage of Word styles and auto‑numbering.
The SmartStyles toolbar is unique. It adapts to the styles present in the current document, automatically
configuring itself to the numbering and continuation styles it finds.
This means:
Users don't find themselves wondering what styles are in the document and clicking on style buttons
that don't work!
The SmartStyles toolbar can be used on documents created outside your system e.g. a document in a legacy
house style or corporate client/third party styles.
If your firm uses different toolbars to work with different styles, they can be replaced by the SmartStyles
toolbar, which is always the correct toolbar for the current document.
Arrange an on-line or in-person demo
More . . . .
Works with your firm's styles strategy
Work with default styles sets for simplicity or allow users to select from a range of stored styles
sets for flexibility.
Allow users to create and edit their own numbering schemes if required or restrict use to predefined
Helps you work with auto‑numbering
Whether your firm works with one numbering scheme in a document or more than one, SmartStyles helps.
If your documents require only one numbering scheme for the whole document: use SmartStyles together
with SmartTOCs table of contents system to generate the table of contents your business requires
without the need for additional style sets.
If your documents require different numbering in different areas of a document: use SmartStyles to simplify
working with multiple outline sets and reduce errors.
Configuration and customisation
SmartStyles provides a series of modular, configurable components that allow you to stay in control.
You decide on the features made available to users at a company, group and even individual
Advanced users can benefit from powerful features, while standard users benefit from simple features.
Customise SmartStyles through the SmartStyles API.
Styles corruption early warning
When a document is opened, SmartStyles performs a 'behind the scenes' styles analysis and warns the
user if it finds a corrupt style so that corrective action can be taken before problems multiply or
deadlines approach.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
We are renting this house for almost 3 years in Texas and our house owner doesnt pay the HOA so the constables came and brought a letter saying the house will be auctioned if she doesnt pay until Dec 4th. What kind of rights do we have and what are the chances of staying here? Do we have privilege in buying the house? Is it the best to sue her then? We really need to know what we are able to do because me and my husband are both working and going to college and it is very inconvinient for us to move out. Also we dont want to move out. We seriously dont know what to do further.
You need to consult a local Texas foreclosure attorney with experience with HOA's. But, generally, when there is an auction, the new owner will have to honor your current lease. When the matter actually goes to auction, it sounds like the Homeowner's Association is going to have a difficult time finding someone interested in buying the property and satisfying their lien with tenants in the property. Consult a local foreclosure attorney on this.Ask a similar question

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was in a car with 3 of my friends and we got a cop called on us. The cops said they could smell the marijuana from outside the car, so one of the officers told me to get out of the car and asked me where it was. So I told him that I had a small bag on the floor. 2 of my friends got charged with paraphernalia. My friend and I got charged with possession. Should I plead guilty? I told the cop everything and was honest with him.It is my first offense and I have no money to afford a lawyer.
Do not plead guilty - Consult with a local criminal attorney ASAP!!!!
This is not intended to be legal advise or as legal representation. I am a California personal injury attorney . Be aware that every state has its own statute of limitations; and statutes & case laws that govern the handling of these matters.Ask a similar question
What if I cannot afford a lawyer?
If you qualify request that the public defender to appointed to represent you. Sorry, since I am not a ID attorney I can not advise you on their procedure for obtaining a public defender or other court appointed counsel.
"What should I do?" Retain the best criminal defense counsel you can afford and SHUT UP. Discussing your case in a public forum is suicidal. Contact Avvo customer service about deleting your post.

Can you help get this deleted please! I didn't know I couldn't say that.
I flagged it in case that will help.
You said that you can't afford a lawyer, but you need one. Either borrow money to invest in a lawyer or ask the court to appoint a public defender to represent you.
Based on the information you provided, I see potential defenses depending upon answers to additional questions that I would have if you were sitting in front of me. An aggressive criminal defense lawyer will get a thorough understanding of all of the facts and circumstances and fight for you. A conviction for a drug-related offense has consequences beyond what the statute says, it could affect your ability to get student loans. Get a lawyer asap! And good luck to you!Ask a similar question
How much do you think it would cost?
It depends on the lawyer. And Avvo has rules that disallows lawyers from overtly recruiting clients via this website, so none should engage in that type of conversation with you on here. Your best bet is to contact lawyers individually (not on this public forum's board) if you may be interested in that lawyer's services. Some lawyers charge for their initial consultations, while others do not, like me and several others that I know. I recommend that you contact a lawyer who will give you a free consultation. After the consultation, the lawyer should be able to give you a fee that her or she would accept to represent you.
Never plead guilty. Hire an attorney to handle plea negotiations in order to try and protect your record. If it is your first time there is a good chance that the charges will be reduced.Ask a similar question

All this talk of how the Muslim religion is teaching hate; that a school for children will instill hatred of America. This from Christians?
Mark Twain wrote a story called "The War Prayer," where the people are in their church praying to God for victory on the eve of war when an old stranger enters. This stranger is an emissary from God who tells the people that God has heard the spoken part of their prayer and has given him the job of telling the people the unspoken part of their prayer.
He wrote, "O Lord … our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it -- for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him who is the source of love, and who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen."
If I didn't know Twain was writing about Christians, I would think the above was about Muslims -- that is what we're being told, isn't it? If anyone doubts this, search deep in your heart, because the above is the unspoken part of all the rhetoric we hear, see and read.

THE Brewery Arts Centre has reached a new milestone clocking up 40 years of inspired entertainment.
Today (Thursday) the Kendal arts centre celebrates its 40th birthday and at the same time launches its Fit For Forty £80,000 building appeal.
Chief executive Richard Foster said it was an exciting time: "After 40 years of hard work and an incredible amount of delivery we need to spruce up areas of the building and make it more comfortable for the visitor."
Richard said the Malt Room and theatre would be the focus of the first round of fundraising and if the appeal kept going they would carry on with the facelift throughout the building.
The launch will also unveil The Timeline - a massive pictorial chronology of the history of the Brewery, featuring photos of the building, acts, gigs, events, personalities and staff members, which will stretch around the walls of the Intro Bar.
Also special events planned include It Happened at the Brewery, which will be staged on June 29/30 by the centre's Youth Arts team, reminiscing and celebrating some of the highlights from four decades of Brewery programming.
In August there will a a special Super Summmer Sunday featuring the Fabulous Piccaso Brothers and other local bands, and in September the celebrations centre on four art forms: visual art, music, theatre and dance, with several surprises in the pipeline: "All I can say at this stage is we'll be working with international performers," offered Richard.
Richard said the strength of the Brewery is the vast of amount of arts forms that are offered. He also said that the Brewery would be creating work that would "go out and spread the word about the Brewery and raise the profile of the region."
Down the years the Brewery has hosted many leading performers such as John Martyn, George Melly, Michael McIntyre - and they don't come much bigger in musical terms than mighty Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant, who played the Brewery in 2000.
The inaugural International Women's Festival in 2007 was another massive Brewery success with top names such as Marianne Faithfull and Patti Smith among the stars who graced the arts centre.
Originally built for brewing beer in 1847, the brewery was run by Whitwell Marks brewers and sold to the Sunderland-based Vaux Breweries in 1946.
Plans for an arts centre were first mooted in 1969 and Vaux sold the buildings and associated land to the Scott Trust for £21,000 in 1970. When the first director Robert Atkins was appointed in 1970 he lived in the house at the front of the Brewery where the YHA is now. The main building opened its doors on May 10, 1972, and the Leyland Clock installed in garden 1973.
Anne Pierson took over as Brewery director in 1975, a post she held until 2001. During Anne's amazing tenure the Friends of the Brewery were formed and the new theatre built in 1998, opened by Alan Bennett. One of the most ambitious and biggest Brewery projects was the new cinema building, a huge logistical undertaking, opening in 1998.
Anne was succeeded by Sam Mason until 2010. Richard Foster became chief executive later that same year.

The race to fill the open 1st Senate District seat is headed for a run-off election between Republican Ted Gaines and Democrat Ken Cooley on Jan. 4.
Assemblyman Gaines, R-Roseville, set the pace in Tuesday's crowded special primary election with 32.3 percent of the vote, beating out fellow Republican candidates Roger Niello and Barbara Alby, who finished with 24.3 and 12.9 percent of the vote, respectively.
Cooley, the mayor of Rancho Cordova, finished in second with 30.5 percent of the vote.
The two will now face off next year to fill the vacant seat left by the late Sen. Dave Cox, who succumbed to prostate cancer in July.
Gaines' support was especially strong in El Dorado County, as the candidate finished the evening with 39 percent of the vote. Cooley wound up with 30 percent, while Niello and Alby finished third and fourth.
Gaines was also re-elected to the 4th Assembly District, handily beating his two opponents with 58.5 percent of the vote districtwide. Democratic candidate Dennis Campanale took second in the race with 37 percent and Peace and Freedom candidate Daniel Frederick earned 4.5 percent.
Those figures were nearly the exact same in El Dorado County.
If Gaines is elected to the Senate in January, another special election would be held to fill his vacated Assembly seat.

US farmers, poised to ship record beef cargoes for a second straight year, may get a further boost as Japan, once their biggest overseas customer, considers easing trade curbs imposed after an outbreak of mad-cow disease.
Sales to Japan may jump 43 per cent to 202,100 metric tons, the most since 2003, should the restrictions end in the second quarter, Global AgriTrends, a Denver-based research company, estimates.
The government may raise the age-limit on cattle slaughtered for beef to 30 months from 20 months around the middle of the year, according to Keiko Yamaguchi, executive director of consumer equity research at Nomura Securities in Tokyo.
Rising sales to Japan would help shore up farm income at a time when the US Department of Agriculture is forecasting a fall in wheat, corn and soybean exports. Cattle futures hit a record this month and traders anticipate higher prices through at least April 2013 after the herd shrank to its smallest since 1973 as of July 1, Chicago Mercantile Exchange data shows.
A drought in the southern US last year and rising feed costs prompted ranchers to cull livestock.
"We go to 30 months of age again, all of a sudden most of our cattle are eligible," said Brett Stuart, the co-founder of Global AgriTrends and a former economist for the US Meat Export Federation who was raised on a cattle ranch in Utah.
"We go from a restriction that probably was only allowing 30, 35 per cent of US cattle to provide cuts for Japan, and we take that percentage up to roughly 90, 95 percent."
Cattle rose 5.7 per cent to $US1.2835 a pound on the CME this year, beating the 2.1 per cent gain in the Standard & Poor's GSCI gauge of 24 commodities. The MSCI All-Country World Index of equities advanced 5.2 per cent as Treasuries lost 0.3 per cent, a Bank of America index shows.
Futures for delivery in April 2013 closed at $US1.323 on January 20. Prices may reach $US1.30 in three months, Goldman Sachs said in a January 13 report. The most widely held option confers the right to buy at $US1.30 by April, CME data shows. Cattle may reach $US1.38 by October, said Rich Nelson, the director of research at McHenry, Illinois-based Allendale, who has been studying agricultural markets since 1997.
Japanese imports of US beef shrank to almost zero in 2004, from 298,039 tons in 2003, after the country joined South Korea and China in banning US supply after the discovery of bovine spongiform encephalopathy. The brain-wasting disease was found in three US cows, the last of them in 2006. Britain found more than 184,000 cases since 1987, according to the Paris-based World Organisation for Animal Health, or OIE.
Shipments to Japan rebounded since the country relaxed its ban in 2005 to allow meat from 20-month-old cattle or younger. The curbs on beef from older livestock meant about $1 billion a year in lost sales, the Denver-based National Cattlemen's Beef Association said in January 2010. The OIE gave the US a "controlled-risk" rating in 2007, meaning meat from cattle of any age can be traded.
The US may ship a record 974,000 tons of beef in 2012, worth about $5.13 billion, compared with an estimated 914,500 tons in 2011, the Denver-based US Meat Export Federation predicts. Combined farm exports will probably drop 3.9 per cent to $132 billion in the year ending September 30, retreating from a record, the USDA said in November.
Hedge funds and other large speculators are getting less bullish on cattle. They cut their net-long position, or bets on rising prices, by 39 per cent to 66,997 futures and options since October 18, Commodity Futures Trading Commission data shows.
There is no certainty that Japan will ease the curbs on US beef. The government first proposed raising the limit on the age of cattle to 30 months in 2007 and Japanese officials met with their US counterparts on the topic for the first time in three years in September 2010.
A panel on mad cow disease at Japan's Food Safety Commission began reviewing potential health risks related to the proposed changes on January 19. Speaking after that meeting in Tokyo, the panel's chairman, Takeo Sakai, wasn't able to say when a decision would be taken. The health ministry will only raise the age limit to 30 months if the safety body determines it poses no additional risk to consumers.
The commission probably will take two to three months to complete its review, said Nobuyuki Fujino, the Tokyo-based senior chief economist at the Norinchukin Research Institute, which studies economic trends in agriculture. Should it rule the changes are safe, the government may then take "a couple of months" to modify the regulation, he said.
US farmers may also gain from increased shipments to South Korea, which reopened its market in 2008 to beef from cattle up to 30 months old. The two nations signed a free trade pact last year that will reduce import tariffs of as much as 40 per cent over the next 15 years.
The US supplied 68 per cent of South Korea's beef imports in 2003, dropping to zero the following year, according to data from the Korea Meat Trade Association. Shipments recovered to 99,047 tons in the first 11 months of 2011, accounting for 37 per cent of imports, the data show.
Japan is already buying more US beef, with purchases rising 32 per cent to 87,969 tonnes in the first eight months of the year that began April 1, agriculture ministry data show. The gains were at the expense of Australia, whose shipments to the Asian nation dropped 5 per cent to 229,223 tonnes. The US dollar weakened 8.4 per cent against the yen since April while the Australian dollar appreciated 7.2 per cent.
Shipments to Japan, the largest export market for Australian beef, may drop about 4 per cent to 336,000 tons in the year ending June 30, 2012, the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences said in a report last month.
The decline will be driven by increasing US competition and stagnant Japanese demand, the government research unit said. The nation's per capita beef consumption dropped 25 per cent in the past decade as pork gained 23 per cent and chicken 21 per cent. Japanese consumers prefer "higher marbled US beef," ABARES said, referring to the amount of visible fat.
"The relaxation would increase demand from the food-service industry for American meat," said Yamaguchi of Nomura Securities. US beef is seen as "superior to Australian products in the Japanese market in terms of its taste and convenience for processing".

Ray fans 11 in complete-game shutout
No. 9 Nationals prospect scatters three hits over nine innings
By Ashley Marshall / MiLB.com | July 11, 2013 8:45 PM ET
What a difference a year makes.
Last season, Nationals pitching prospect Robbie Ray owned a 4-12 record and an unsightly 6.56 ERA.
Fast-forward 12 months, and it's like a completely different person out there on the mound.
Ray (2-0) scattered three hits and struck out a career-high 11 batters for his first complete-game shutout in the Double-A Harrisburg Senators' 7-0 win over the host Erie SeaWolves.
"This is definitely toward the top," Ray said of ranking his gem. "I had never thrown a CG shutout, and this was also with 11 strikeouts. Yeah, it's pretty near the top."
Washington's No. 9 prospect threw 77 of 107 pitches for strikes and issued two walks in lowering his Eastern League ERA to 0.64 in front of 2,987 fans at Jerry Uht Park.
The 21-year-old Tennessee native struck out the side in the fourth. He fanned two in the first, eighth and ninth innings and one in the third and seventh en route to the Senators' 11th shutout of the season.
The biggest test for Ray came in the seventh when Brandon Douglas and Daniel Fields recorded consecutive singles to start the frame and James McCann drew a two-out walk to load the bases. But Ray struck out Gaynor to end the threat before retiring the final six batters of the game.
"I felt really good. All my pitches were working for me, and me and my catcher Sandy Leon were on the same page all night," Ray said. "I think I shook him off once all night, and even then I came back to throw the same pitch.
"When I got two strikes, I was just looking to put them away. Early in the ballgame, my curveball was working well and I was using that to my advantage. I was just pitching to what my catcher was calling and it worked out."
It marked the fourth complete game of Ray's career, but the first time he achieved the feat without allowing a run.
He previously threw a five-inning complete game in Wilmington on May 8, a seven-frame complete game in Carolina in the second half of a twinbill on June 11 and a six-inning complete game in Wilmington in his final start for Potomac on June 29.
Ray can trace most of his recent success to minor adjustments he made this offseason.
"I changed my mechanics when I was down in High-A at the end of last year. I brought that into instructs and Spring Training and it seems to be working out for me," said Ray, who struck out 10 batters against Frederick on April 21. "I didn't have the best year last year, but it was a learning experience. Even though it was bad, it was also good because I needed to work on things.
"I have a slight turn when I bring my leg up and I turn my body to third base and toward the third-base dugout. I've also raised my arm angle from low three-quarter to high three-quarter and that helps me keep the ball in the zone and doesn't let the ball run to the arm side."
Harrisburg first baseman Justin Bloxom ripped three doubles, walked, scored three times and plated a run and shortstop Jason Martinson and second baseman Rick Hague each recorded two RBIs in the win.
"Bloxom was huge tonight with three doubles and Hague hit the home run early in the game," said Ray, selected by the Nationals in the 12th round of the 2010 Draft. "The bats were behind me, getting hits and driving in runs."
Erie starter Patrick Cooper (2-7) allowed five runs -- three earned -- on eight hits and two walks while striking out three batters over 4 2/3 innings.

Last jump creates military legacy
A father finishes his career and passes the responsibility of service to his son
ANCHORAGE – There's a lot of history in the U.S. Army, from the units to the soldiers themselves.
Many families have a legacy all their own.
On Thursday, a father finished his career and passed the responsibility of service to his son.
It started with a commitment to serve and ended with a jump.
It was the last jump of Command Sgt. Maj. Bernie Knight's 33-year career.
After leaping from an aircraft 109 times, he was ready to keep his feet on the ground.
"It just felt like the right time. Time for some younger guys to step up and get after it," Bernie Knight said.
One of those younger guys was Bernie Knight's son, who took this last leap with his father.
"I tried to talk him out of being an infantryman like me and then he said, 'well, it was good enough for you.' I said, 'OK, go sign up,'" Bernie Knight said.
This isn't the first time the two have jumped together.
When Sgt. Charles Knight faced his very first jump, his dad was by his side.
"The only reason I chose to go airborne is because my father was airborne. I kind of had some proving to do," Charles Knight said.
Although it may have been a day of lasts for Bernie Knight, it was a day of firsts for his son.
"First time out of a helicopter, first time with a steerable parachute, first time on the Geronimo drop zone," Bernie Knight said.
It will also be the first time the younger Knight is serving on his own, but he'll have another family at his back.
"It's a small Army but a big family," Bernie Knight said.

Abuse claims denied by care-home nurse
Date published: 08 April 2014
AN abusive care-home nurse watched a frail pensioner suffer a fit as she struggled to lift herself off the floor for 15 minutes, a tribunal has been told.
Juliet Monk, nurse in charge of night shifts, is accused of verbally, mentally and physically abusing residents with mental-health problems in the Brookdale unit at St George's Care Centre in Moorside.
She accused one woman, who collapsed on the floor in an apparent fit, of attention-seeking.
And she instructed a care assistant to "leave her alone — she can get up off her own steam" when she found a fragile woman on the floor in her bedroom, the Nursing and Midwifery Council heard.
Monk also forced a quiet man into communal areas against his will, pushed residents around and twisted the ankle of one elderly man, it was alleged.
Care assistant Lynn Fawley worked one night a week with Monk and described witnessing some of her behaviour.
Monk had worked at the centre for nine years and was the nurse in charge of night shifts. Home manager Angela Lewis received a complaint on December 27, 2011, and an investigation was launched.
Monk denies charges concerning four residents at the home, allegedly leaving each one distressed or at risk of harm by her behaviour.
She admits a more general charge that residents were confined to their rooms and were not allowed into the kitchen between midnight and 6am. The nurse also admits leaving only one carer at the home when she left her shift at 12.30am on Christmas Eve and failing to leave the keys of the controlled drug cabinet with a nurse.
If the panel find Monk guilty of the allegations, she could face being struck off the register.
The hearing continues.
