Changes to Afternoon Programming Radio New Zealand National
Changes to Afternoon Programming Radio New Zealand National
Simon Mercep takes over from Jim Mora as host of Afternoons on Radio New Zealand National from 1 pm to 4 pm this afternoon in the first stage of a two-step process of change for the network's afternoon and drive time news programming.
Jim Mora continues to host The Panel from 4 pm to 5pm, a very popular segment with the biggest station share of afternoon radio listening in New Zealand. With Jim Mora at the microphone, The Panel has grown its share of listenership by almost 40% in the last 6 years.
From Monday 7th July, Jim Mora and Mary Wilson will combine their complementary broadcasting talents as co-hosts of Checkpoint, another of Radio New Zealand's number one ranked day-parts.
The tandem hosting of Checkpoint will use Jim Mora's presentation skills to introduce a new dimension to the sound of the strong news based programme.
While the overall sound of Checkpoint will change with dual hosting, the programme will not change editorially. The focus will remain 100% news driven and Checkpoint will continue to give over 200,000 listeners the most authoritative and complete summary of the day's news available in New Zealand.

WEYMOUTH'S Sam Lycett and Dorchester duo Finly Abbott and Simon Wakely all recorded top-three finishes when Ringwood Motocross Club made their first ever visit to Little Silver Moto Park in Exeter for round 12 of the Club Championship Series.
County town rider Wakely was second behind Ryan Redwood in the adult expert open class after winning the last of the three races.
In the big-wheel 85cc section, Lycett, pictured, only just missed out on top spot overall, with the youngster having to settle for second.
Rival Louis Thomas claimed victories in motos two and three to clinch first place.
Only 27 of the 38 entries made it to the gate in the automatic 50cc class, though one of those was Abbott.
George Hopkins dominated the day, winning all three epic battles for a maximum score of 135 points.
His closest challenger was Henry Life, who really came to grips with the steep hills and deep red Devon soil, while Abbott battled well to finish third overall.
Results Automatic 50cc: 1 George Hopkins, 2 Henry Life, 3 Finly Abbott, 4 Harry West, 5 Jayden Westcott, 6 Oliver Samways.

Fallacies Behind the Democrats' Attack
The core of the Democrats' argument is that you can't reduce income tax rates by 20 percent, as the Romney plan proposes, without raising taxes on the middle class. The analysis supporting this attack comes from a report by the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center (TPC), purveyors of a proprietary tax model used to estimate the budgetary and distributional consequences of tax proposals. The TPC analysis concludes that there are not enough tax breaks (excluding tax preferences for savings and investment) for high-income earners to offset the cost of the lower rates. As a result, TPC estimates that the Romney plan would reduce the tax payments of high-income earners by $86 billion in 2015 and that revenue neutrality would then require an $86 billion tax increase on the middle class.
The TPC model has an important limitation when it is used to consider the impact of such large reforms as Romney's plan. It assumes that any tax reform would not help the economy. In this sense, the TPC model is consistent with the models used by the official revenue estimators at the U.S. Treasury Department and the Joint Committee on Taxation. But those models are intended primarily to analyze the impact of modest changes to the tax code, not fundamental tax reform. In fact, there is plentiful economic evidence that tax reform could result in measurable economic growth. Depending on the reform and the model used to analyze it, tax reform can increase the capital stock, encourage work and innovation, and improve the allocation of resources in the economy.
In addition to the modeling limitation, TPC also misconstrues analysis on the relationship between tax reform and economic growth. Not only does the TPC model assume zero economic growth, but the Center's analysis (subsequently echoed by many other commentators) points to research I published with AEI colleague Alan Viard to argue that economic growth is not possible from revenue-neutral income tax reform. This conclusion is a false interpretation of our research.
An increase in labor supply is one means by which an economy can grow; as Viard and I pointed out, revenue-neutral tax reform is indeed unlikely to yield gains on that front. But tax reform can also grow the economy by encouraging capital formation and promoting the proper allocation of capital across the economy. Romney's plan will do just that.
As Viard and I describe in a recent blog post:
Recent discussion of Governor Mitt Romney's tax reform plan by the Tax Policy Center (TPC) focused on that plan's implications for work incentives, but that's just one factor that affects growth ... Governor Romney's tax plan for individuals would lower statutory tax rates on ordinary income while leaving tax breaks for saving largely untouched. His corporate tax reform plan would further improve the allocation of capital and foster economic efficiency. Overall, the governor's plan translates into a reduced tax burden on saving and investment, which are key drivers of long-run growth.
Reconsidering the Tax Policy Center's Analysis
Some of the specific assumptions that TPC made in its analysis of Romney's tax plan are also highly questionable. By reconsidering just three components of the TPC's analysis, the conclusions it draws get turned upside down.
More base-broadeners are on the table. TPC originally claimed that the Romney plan would raise taxes on the middle class by $86 billion. After a critique by AEI colleague Matt Jensen, who pointed out additional opportunities for base-broadening, TPC downgraded its estimate considerably. Specifically, Jensen pointed out that the exclusion of interest on state and local bonds and the exclusion of inside buildup on life-insurance products could yield more revenue. TPC then acknowledged that repeal of these provisions would raise approximately $45 billion from high-income taxpayers, reducing any need to tax the middle class by the same amount. The result: A purported $86 billion tax increase on the middle class shrinks to $41 billion.
The TPC revenue baseline assumption is inflated. TPC assumed that the baseline against which Romney is seeking revenue neutrality includes a 0.9 percent surcharge on "earned" income and an additional 3.8 percent surcharge on "unearned" income of high-income taxpayers that were adopted in the healthcare law. Romney has proposed repealing these taxes, but has not suggested that the cost of repeal would be paid for by tax reform. Instead, the budget effect of repealing these taxes should be analyzed in the context of the repeal of various other healthcare provisions.
Despite TPC's assertion that adjusting its baseline assumption "does not alter our primary conclusion," the revenue consequence of repealing this tax in 2015 is a full $29 billion, all of which falls on high-income earners. Correcting the baseline by removing this provision means that more of the revenue raised by broadening the tax base on high-income taxpayers can be used to finance tax reductions for the middle class. The result: A $41 billion tax increase shrinks to $12 billion.
Even modest economic growth makes a difference. And finally, the important factor that I discussed above. Based on Table 3-1 of the "Analytical Perspectives" report by the president's Office of Management and Budget, I compute that if the economy were to grow just 0.1 percentage point faster per year as a result of the reform, the additional revenue in 2015 would be approximately $13 billion. The result: A $12 billion tax increase on the middle class actually becomes a tax cut.
And just like that, the Democrats' attacks that Romney wants to raise taxes on the middle class become false.
But that is not the end of the story. The real story should not be about one campaign nit-picking the budgetary impact of the other campaign's proposals. Rather the real story should be about the substantive policy visions of each of the candidates.
Romney has proposed a bold tax reform that would broaden the tax base and lower statutory tax rates across the board. While maintaining preferential rates for savings and investment, his proposal repeals the tax expenditures that distort economic decisions and add complexity to tax returns.
Although Obama has no such plan for tax reform, his vision for the tax system appears clear. He has refused to endorse the recommendations of the Simpson-Bowles Commission, which would also have lowered statutory tax rates and broadened the tax base. Instead, his near-singular focus has been to raise statutory tax rates for high-income households and to leave untouched hundreds of special tax breaks for various political constituencies.
Sadly, no true debate over the merits or means of tax reform is happening. Democrats have refused to engage in a discussion of ideas and have instead pursued a negative strategy, spending millions saying that Romney's objectives are impossible to achieve and meanwhile offering no alternative.
As America sits down to hear the first presidential debate in four years, I hope that things will change. I believe that tax reform is critically important to our country and can have large benefits for our economy. Perhaps the debate will offer Obama an opportunity to pivot away from these tired attacks on Romney's proposal and offer his own vision for tax reform. We can always hope.

SFFD Neighborhood Emergency Response Team (NERT)
NERT is a community based training program dedicated to a neighbor-helping-neighbor approach. It is beneficial for individuals, neighborhood groups and community-based organizations in San Francisco. Through this program, individuals will learn the basics of personal preparedness and prevention. The training also includes hands-on disaster skills that will help individuals respond to a personal emergency as well as act as members of a neighborhood response team.
A typical NERT volunteer is not one type. The NERT volunteer is anyone who is active and involved in the community--or wants to be. San Francisco is made up of many neighborhoods. We are training to be one ready community when it counts. The Emergency Response is key but the Neighborhood Team comes first.


text:
From the neighborhood view, the player selects to play one lot, as in The Sims. There are residential and community lots. Sims live in residential lots, and can travel to community lots to purchase stuff, clothing and magazines as well as interact with NPCs.
The player can choose between playing a pre-made inhabited lot, moving a household into a built-up lot, or constructing a building on an empty lot. One novelty from The Sims 1 is foundations.
The player switches among the "live" mode (default) to control Sims, the "buy" mode to add, move or delete furniture, or the "build" mode to rebuild the house. Buy and build mode for community lots is locked when player Sims visit the lot but are available from the neighborhood view. It is also possible to import neighborhood terrains from SimCity 4.
The game contains some time-bound social challenges that provide a reward if successful. Sims can throw parties to gain aspiration points or invite the headmaster over for dinner in order to enroll their children in private school. Some expansion packs have new mini-games, like running a Greek house in University or dating in Nightlife. In Nightlife, each day is a challenge to keep both Sims as happy as possible while accumulating aspiration points. Various other expansion packs introduce supernatural characters which Sims can be turned into. This includes Vampires, Werewolves, Plantsims, Zombies, and Witches.
The Seasons
The Sims 2 Seasons expansion pack introduces two new game play concepts to The Sims 2 series: weather and seasons. Each season lasts for approximately five Sim days and players have the option to alter their order of progression.
Sims are able to build snowmen during the Winter, rake fallen leaves in Autumn, jump in puddles during Spring and occasionally experience heatstroke in Summer. Besides being a visually interactive addition, each season enhances Sim's attributes in certain ways.
Weather and temperature
There is weather within each season, including rain, hail, lightning storms, and snow (there is another type of weather called the rain of fire due to the malfunction of the new aspiration reward object, which is a weather control machine). Although weather was originally planned for release in the original Sims 2 base game, a 3D rendering error prevented this from being possible: rain would fall into enclosed housing areas, and other graphical rendering problems would occur[citation needed]. Weather may also adversely affect Sims. New to The Sims 2 is a thermometer that shows how hot or cold a Sim is. The thermometer goes red when a Sim is too hot or has sunburn and goes cold when a Sim has been playing in the snow for too long. However, this does present disadvantages. An example is a Sim getting a cold or getting too hot after too many showers. For example, heat in summer may cause a Sim to experience heatstroke or receive a sunburn. Sims who are outside during the winter may feel cold, though they can be warmed in various ways. Sims can die due to heatstroke and they can also freeze to death. Other Sims have the option of a "thaw" interaction, provided their relationship is high enough. Children who are allowed to get too cold or too hot do not die, but are instead taken away by social services. Rarely, Sims who go outside during a rainstorm can be struck by lightning, but this more commonly happens to trees or other objects. A Sim who survives gets blackened hair and skin that do not come off until the Sim's next shower or bath.
Plant Sims
Plant Sims are the new creatures that comes with The Sims 2: Seasons. Plant Sims have green skin with vine-like tattoos, special leaf or flower made hair and yellow eyes, and will obtain a gold gardening badge when they become a plant sim, if they didn't already have one. While spraying their orchard trees or plants in eccess, the excess pesticide could randomly turn normal Sims into Plant Sims. The plant Sim condition can be "cured" by calling a garden club member or gypsy and buying a potion.
A PlantSim toddler.
Plant Sims only age within three life stages: toddler, adult and elder. Besides aging differences, they have three needs: sunlight, water and love. Plant Sims also gain a prank interaction (pollen cloud), the ability to release spores of happiness, and the ability to reproduce. Spawned offspring begin life as toddlers and have a gold gardening badge and the same skills and personality as their parent. However, their facial genes are a combination of the parent and a hidden NPC named Ideal Plantsim.
With a high enough gardening skill Sims can talk to plants and turn a hum-drum orange tree, vegetable or fruit plant grow to vibrant status thereby increasing the harvest yield. There is a new object, the "Juicer" which will allow Sims to create custom juices from their own harvest.
Included existing features
Features from the existing expansion packs such as the influence system, turn ons/turn offs, lifetime wants, pranks, fury, Mrs. Crumplebottom and talent badges are available. Although the talent badges included in Open For Business are not available in the Seasons expansion pack, talent badges can be earned for activities such as fishing and gardening without Open for Business installed.

1999 Record: 11-3, division champs, district playoffs
Top Players: Marty Rakaczewski, Sr., P-IF; Mark Knorr, Sr., C; Jason Papadoplos, Sr., CF; Dave Plisko, Sr., OF; Mike Zapotoski, Jr., P-3B; Joe Kawczenski, Jr., 1B.

Outlook: Schreiber said the Vikings have a talented group of sophomore pitchers which should keep them in games. The Vikings might be a team of the future.
Team: Bishop Hoban
Coach: Ted Williams, seventh year
1999 Record: 13-2, WVC Class A and District 2 champions, state playoffs
Top Players: Scott Evans, Sr., P-1B; Ryan Miller, Jr., C-3B; Justin Kizina, Sr., P-1B-OF; Tony Kremski, Sr., OF; Chris Milz, Sr., P-OF; Giancarlo Sarullo, Sr., C-DH; Jason Volingavage, Sr., P-SS; Jon Chaya, Jr., C-2B; Pete Salierno, Jr., P-OF-IF.

Team: Bishop O'Reilly
Coach: Bill Smedley, 16th year
1999 Record: 9-6

Outlook: The Queensmen boast a strong group of experienced seniors and should be in the mix for a division title. ``I'm very confident for a successful season this year,'' Smedley said.
Team: Northwest Area
Coach: Jim Hill, 18th year
1999 Record: 11-4, district playoffs
Top Players: Jason Nevel, Sr., P-OF; Jim Krushka, Sr., P-3B; Justin Sirak, Jr., P-IF; Wade Hoover, So., P-OF; Steve Ravert, Jr., P-3B; Scott Trumbower, Jr., C; Ryan Sirak, Sr., IF; Matt Miller, So., IF; Wilson Reakes, Jr., IF; John Stempien, Sr., OF; Ed Altemose, Jr., OF; Brandon Rospendowski, Jr., OF; Branden Goobic, Jr., DH.
Outlook: The Rangers return their entire outfield and solid hitters in Trumbower and Nevel, who hit .394 and .333 respectively last season. Northwest's main concern is an inexperienced pitching staff.
Team: Seton Catholic
Coach: Chick Andrewscavage, first year
1999 Record: 2-13
Top Players: Tom Karbowski, Sr., SS; Mark DeStefano, Sr., P-2B; Justin Lambert, Jr., P-CF-1B; Steve Ramiza, Sr., RF; John Staub, Jr., CF-2B; Chris Selenski, Jr., 1B; Brian Pramick, So., C; Brian Chuzas, So., 3B; Ryan O'Haire, So., LF; Jay Herman, Sr., 3B.
Outlook: Andrewscavage said his team's strength is pitching and he is hoping the Eagles' arms will lead to an improvement on last year's record. ``I believe we have some good kids who can play baseball and I think we'll do OK,'' he said.
Team: Wyoming Seminary
Coach: Corey Goff, first year
1999 Record: 6-9
Top Players: Stephan Bieber, Jr., P-SS; Damian Swirble, Jr., 2B-SS; Josh Karoly, Sr., C; Connor McCormick, Jr., LF; Paul Santarelli, Jr., CF; Josh Shraeder, Jr., RF; Pete Mermell, Jr., 3B; Dan Veneski, Fr., 1B; Hajime Numata, So., P-2B.
Outlook: The Blue Knights are an inexperienced team that graduated top players Kyle Droppers, Zach Kozicki, Keith Milligan and Jared Scheirer. ``If our young pitching can hold up, we'll have a good shot at winning some games,'' Goff said.

Georgetown, Maryland making the honor roll
It's college exam time, so it's a good opportunity to grade the local Division I basketball teams on their work over the first five weeks of the season:
Georgetown (8-1)
With a starting lineup of 6-foot-9, 6-8, 6-8, 6-8 and 6-2, the Hoyas have the long, athletic look of Syracuse. Georgetown didn't even rank among the top 10 of "others receiving votes" in the preseason Associated Press poll but has moved up to No. 15 with quality wins over UCLA, Texas and Tennessee and an overtime loss to No. 1 Indiana. All-American candidate Otto Porter is a unique talent but will have to get more help on offense when the Big East schedule kicks in. Grade » A
Maryland (9-1)
It's amazing how quickly second-year coach Mark Turgeon has elevated the talent level and expectations of the Terrapins. Maryland's 23 turnovers on a sloppy night when it delivered Turgeon the most decisive win of his tenure -- 71-38 over Monmouth -- on Wednesday illustrated how much ability the Terps have to overwhelm opponents and at the same time how much growth potential remains. Because of Maryland's mixture of talent and youth, no ACC team enters January as a bigger wild card with potential to boom or bust. Grade » A-
Navy (6-6)
The Midshipmen closed last year with 22 straight losses, but freshman point guard Tilman Dunbar (Paul VI) has been a game-changer. In games in which Dunbar has registered seven or more assists, Navy is 5-0. Second-year coach Ed DeChellis also has added a dangerous 3-point threat in freshman Kendall Knorr, who is shooting 43.5 percent from beyond the arc. Going .500 in the Patriot League would be a huge step for Navy and appears within reach. Grade » B+
George Washington (4-6)
The Colonials have lost their last three by a combined 10 points to quality teams Bradley, Kansas State and Rutgers, but Mike Lonergan's team has shown promise. GW has flaws: depth, ball-handling and outside shooting. But 6-6 freshman Patricio Garino is a budding, multiskilled star; 6-10 freshman Kevin Larsen has excellent hands and skills; and 6-1 point guard Joe McDonald only needs time. Grade » B
George Mason (6-4)
After an opening win over Virginia, the Patriots have blown chances to build their resume, losing to No. 17 New Mexico (by one), Maryland (seven) and Bucknell and Northern Iowa (five each). With an RPI of 80 and no team left on the schedule with one better than 105, George Mason will have to win the CAA to make the NCAA tournament, a goal within its grasp but one that will require more inspired play from a talented but so-far unproductive frontcourt. Grade » C+
American (4-6)
Jeff Jones always wrings as much as he can from his team, but this group is a big challenge as it lacks quickness and has forced Jones to play more zone defense than ever. The Eagles have experienced big men in 6-8 Stephen Lumpkins and 6-10 Tony Wroblicky, and sophomore John Schoof is developing into a perimeter threat. But with a lack of athleticism, AU will be hard-pressed to contend with Bucknell and Lehigh in the top-heavy Patriot League. Grade » C
Howard (2-8)
The Bison have had a tough schedule, but there is reason to believe they can contend in the MEAC. They have size in 6-11 junior Alphonso Leary and 6-7 senior Mike Phillips and plenty of experience. One veteran who must remain healthy is injury-prone fifth-year senior Calvin Thompson (16.2 ppg, 5.2 apg). The Bison have lost the last nine games Thompson has missed but are 8-8 in the last 16 he has played. Grade » C-

With reference to a news item published in a section of press on April 30, 2014 regarding release of Modaraba scam accused Mufti Ehsanul Haq, the statement said that the accused has not been released and he is still in judicial custody (not in physical custody of NAB) in Adyala Jail Rawalpindi and his case is under trial before the Accountability Court, Islamabad.Meanwhile, NAB will continue its endeavours to ensure swift relief to all the affected people.This news was published in The Nation newspaper.

Lost: bid to keep key work at home
Page Tools
Two paintings by the Aboriginal artist Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri that sold at a Sotheby's auction on Monday night will leave Australia.
It is believed the National Gallery of Australia had hoped to buy Emu Corroboree Man, the first painting that Clifford Possum produced.
The gallery appears to have lost out when furious bidding pushed the price to a new record for the artist.
The Melbourne art dealer Irene Sutton bought the small work for $411,750. She said that the purchase was on behalf of an American collector.
The painting was originally bought from Clifford Possum in 1972 by a naturalist from Arizona for less than $100. It was brought back to Australia for the auction and so is not covered by the Moveable Cultural Heritage Act, which restricts the movement of early Aboriginal works overseas.
The second Clifford Possum, a monumental wall-sized painting more than 4.5 metres long and titled Man's Love Story, was bought by a French collector, also for $411,750. It was painted towards the end of the artist's career in 1993-94 and so also falls outside the heritage act.
Of the 195 Aboriginal paintings and early artefacts sold at Sotheby's on Monday, 48 went to overseas buyers for a total of $2.04 million. Because these were the more expensive works, they represented 42 per cent of the lots sold by value.
Despite a record crowd and strong bidding for many of the works, the auction turnover of $4.83 million was well below Sotheby's pre-sale prediction of $6 million to $8.5 million. The total was also $1.74 million lower than the firm's July auction turnover of $6.57 million last year, when nearly three-quarters of the 600 lots sold.
But Tim Klingender, Sotheby's Aboriginal art expert, said the results showed there was now a "sophisticated" buying market that preferred high-quality works with reasonable estimates. Klingender was expecting to sell another $1 million of paintings yesterday.

The room was very comfortable. Great mattress. Stylish decor. The shower is a little odd because it is between the toilet and the bed with close on both sides, meaning you can look from the bed at the person using the toilet. The bottom floor was a club, and you could hear the noise in the room. Also, you have to pay for valet parking because all the surrounding streets do not allow overnight parking.
Hidden gem in a historic downtown working had to comeback. New local seen is catching on since our last stay at the Padre a couple of years ago. Several cool night spots and bars with a hip music scene within walking distance (Sandrini's and the Alley Cat, very fun!)
The room was very clean and comfortable and I loed the big shower. liked everything.
Very nicely appointed. Great decor. Nice rooms. Comfy beds. Great service. Very modern and comfortable. Would have liked to see a more spacious room or more amenities (like a mini fridge or microwave) for the cost (we got the basic room). No free parking.
Clean and comfortable. Great coffee at the coffee shop. Upscale dining was yummy, esp the homemade ice cream! The staff goes above and beyond to help out, even shuttled me to a local restaurant and came back for me. I would not stay any other place!
Nice rooms. Good food. I stayed there two nights and they didn't clean my room while I was there.
Loved the look and feel of the place. The staff were all very professional sands courteous. The room was incredibly spacious with nice touches as far as decor goes that I really appreciated. No fridge in the room we booked. No bigs, but just a little setback.
The beds are incredible and adorable bathroom! Great food for extremely cheap prices Parking
Beautiful and comfortable.
It was very clean and fresh & nice I didn't like the hold they put on your money even after you already paid

There appear to have been quite a few posts about redirecting SMTP traffic
to one's own mailserver over the last few days. The technical discussion is
very interesting, but I fear it does raise a pretty serious privacy issue
when you start redirecting users' traffic to places it wasn't supposed to go
without them knowing about it.
There have been plenty of posts by folks wanting to do this, and I'm really
struggling to understand why at all. Anyone who's sending mail through a
corporate mailserver is probably using authenticated SMTP, so there's a good
chance they can be accessed from any internet connection anywhere (otherwise
there'd be all sorts of problems with home workers unable to send mail and
the like). Many ISPs these days will quite happily accept authenticated SMTP
on their mailservers, even if they don't officially say it's supported.
Again, many mailservers will allow a user to relay from anywhere provided
they've authenticated *somehow*.
If folks are seriously looking to redirect everything on 25 back to their
own mailserver, it may be worth checking the legal ramifications of what
you're doing - especially if you're providing a paid-for service for the

URBANA — A Champaign teen who admitted his role in the kidnapping, beating and robbery of an Australian researcher who was visiting Champaign-Urbana a year ago faces up to 20 years in prison.
Dorian Wills, 18, pleaded guilty on Monday to the Oct. 21, 2011, aggravated kidnapping of Clinton Fookes, 34.
Judge Tom Difanis set Wills' sentencing for Dec. 10. At that time, Assistant State's Attorney Lindsey Clark indicated she will dismiss the less serious count of robbery lodged against Wills. Clark agreed to ask for no more than 20 years for the teen. The maximum for the crime is 30 years in prison.
Co-defendants Ralph Gray, 18, and Anthony Davis, 18, both of Champaign, are set to have their cases reviewed on Monday.
Clark laid out the facts of the case that had been pieced together by Champaign police detective Robb Morris for Difanis during Monday's plea.
On the evening of Oct. 20, she said, Fookes had gone to downtown Champaign to get something to eat and play pool. Fookes is a researcher in artificial intelligence who was in the United States for a conference in Washington D.C. and decided to visit professional colleagues at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois.
He was staying at a hotel on North Lincoln Avenue in Urbana and had left Guido's, a downtown Champaign bar, to head back to his hotel. He was walking when he reported being picked up for four or five men who beat him at the site of the initial contact. Not being familiar with the area, Fookes was unable to give Morris specific locations of where things happened to him.
After the initial beating, the attackers threw Fookes into a van, which police later determined had been stolen by Davis, according to Clark.
In the van, they continued to beat Fookes because he refused to supply them with his personal identification number for a credit card.
They drove him to Crystal Lake Park in Urbana and then to an area in the 4300 block of North Mattis Avenue in north Champaign, about a half-mile north of the High School of St. Thomas More. The beating continued along the way before the men pitched him out of the van, leaving him naked in the middle of a field.
Clark said Fookes was likely unconscious for several hours.
"He had knocked on the doors of houses but got no answer," said Clark, who said Fookes made his way to the road about 8:30 a.m. on Oct. 21.
"Several cars went by before one stopped. He was covered in blood and had a huge gash on his head," she said, adding that he was clutching a tarp that he had found in a barn.
Fookes was hospitalized for five days with bleeding on the brain, a broken nose, and cuts, scrapes and bruises to his body.
Clark said the robbers got a watch, a small amount of cash from Fookes' wallet and his cell phone.
It was the cell phone that Morris used to track down the attackers. He found the phone in Peoria, where a woman had purchased it from a man who said he bought it on Ebay.
Using phone records, Morris was led to a phone number associated with Anthony Davis, who later admitted his role in the kidnapping and robbery, and led Morris to the co-defendants.
Clark said Fookes was happy to hear of Wills' plea and had endorsed the plea agreement.
"He does not want to have to come back to Champaign County because this happened to him here," she said.
The absolute MINIMUM punishment they should receive is the death penalty but even that isn't enough.
To Mr Fookes, I heard about this horrible crime committed against you and just am glad you are okay, I hope so anyhow.... I will keep you in my prayers and also pray that these horrible attackers are put away for the remainder of their lives so no one else can ever be a victim to their awful brutality and cruel torture . No one stopped to help you along the roadway or answered their doors to help you after you came to? Are these people aware of your ordeal now and have any apologized for not assisting you? Hoping some good comes of this whole experience for them and anyone else reading this, that is all we can hope for now. Your recovery is priority and getting thesedangerous young criminals away from the public.

England's forwards dominated Australia and France, while Boks' technical advisor Jones admits South Africa struggled at times against Argentina.
But Jones told BBC 5live: "There have been times when we haven't done so well in the scrum but I'm sure our tight five will stand up to the challenge.
"A few technical issues need to be sorted out and I'm sure they will be."
Jones has experienced what it is like to lose to England in the World Cup final, having been Australia's coach in 2003 when Jonny Wilkinson kicked an extra-time drop goal to secure victory.
And he knows how dangerous Wilkinson remains - the fly half has revitalised England since their 36-0 defeat by South Africa in the group stage, a match he missed through injury.
Jones said: "Since we beat England they have really progressed their game, become cohesive and they have a good understanding of where their strengths and weaknesses lay.
"It's all credit to Brian Ashton and his staff that they have come back so well.
"And Wilkinson is a guy who gives the players around him a lot of confidence. He is also outstanding defensively - but I think we can put a bit of pressure on him."
Jones feels a key area will be in the breakdown and expects South Africa to continue to impress here.
"Set-pieces and defence have been very important in this World Cup, but one thing that hasn't been mentioned too much is turnover ball," he said.
"One of the reasons South Africa has done well is that we've been able to convert those opportunities into tries.
"You can play the game as tight as possible but at some stage you will have to move the ball around.
"England have started giving the ball more air they have previously. That can expose you and our back line is very mobile and will be a challenge for England."
Argentina found to their cost in the semi-final just how ruthless South Africa can be - particularly through wing Bryan Habana, who touched down twice when left in space.
And Jones warned: "Habana has got the ability to turn a match, and at his best he is probably one of the best match-winners in the game."
What are these?

Happy New Year everybody. According to the Mayans, the world is supposed to end sometime by the end of this coming December!
Hmm... well, at least we have plenty of time to prepare, right?
So keeping that in mind, along with your new years resolutions, what exactly are you doing to prepare for the coming apocalypse (zombie, or otherwise)? In good humour, of course. Leave your comments, and let's have some fun with this.

Another judge will have to decide the fate of a Hammond woman sentenced in 2013 to one day in jail for manslaughter, after an appeals court ruled Monday that the sentence was illegally lenient.
A Tangipahoa Parish jury deliberated for more than four hours Feb. 1, 2013, before convicting Shawn Gilmore, 44, of manslaughter in the stabbing death of her live-in boyfriend, Alvin Collier, on Nov. 26, 2010.
Gilmore had claimed she stabbed Collier in self-defense after an altercation in which he refused to leave the home, shoved her in the kitchen and fought for the knife she drew against him.
Prosecutors argued the 911 call, in which Collier's voice was muffled and distant, proved the couple could not have been struggling the entire time leading up to the fatal strike.
A three-judge panel of the state First Circuit Court of Appeal, in a split decision, ruled Monday that Judge Brenda Bedsole Ricks, of the 21st Judicial District in Amite, abused her discretion Nov. 5 in sentencing Gilmore to a single day in jail with credit for time served.
Manslaughter carries a possible sentence of up to 40 years in prison.
Although trial courts have wide discretion in imposing a sentence within statutory limits, that discretion is not unlimited, Judges James Kuhn and Mitchell Theriot said in the judgment.
They ordered the case back to the trial court, where a new judge will resentence Gilmore.
Kuhn and Theriot noted this was Ricks' second time sentencing Gilmore and third decision in the case that had been overturned.
Ricks originally sentenced Gilmore on Oct. 8 to five years imprisonment at hard labor, but suspended the sentence and ordered five years of bench-supervised probation.
Prosecutors appealed, arguing the sentence violated a state law that prohibits suspended sentences for violent crimes. The appeals court agreed and ordered that Gilmore be resentenced.
Ricks previously had granted Gilmore's request for a new trial, a decision the Louisiana Supreme Court also found to be an abuse of discretion.
"Neither collectively nor individually (were) any of the reasons cited by the trial court grounds for granting a new trial," the Supreme Court said.
In its ruling Monday, the First Circuit said, "The new judge is ordered to review the entire record and order a presentence investigation report, if the report has not been ordered, prior to issuing a new sentence."
Judge Toni Higginbotham dissented from that ruling.
Higginbotham said the appeals court should have refused to hear the case because prosecutors failed to include the Nov. 5 sentencing transcript, 911 recordings, Gilmore's initial statement to the police and other evidence that might have supported a motion to reconsider the sentence.


text: Please note that these calls are designed for the financial community. If you are an individual investor and have questions or comments, please contact me directly at 1800-422-4012 extension 2388. Speaking on the call this morning are Gregg Kantor, President and Chief Executive Officer, and David Anderson, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Gregg and David have some opening remarks and then will be available to answer your questions. Also joining us today are other members of our Executive team to help answer your questions.With that, let me turn you over to Gregg. Gregg Kantor Thank you, Bob. Good morning everyone and welcome. Thank you for joining us for our third quarter earnings call. Before I turn it over to David to cover the financial details, let me start with an overview of the quarter and where we stand at this point in the year. Results for the third quarter were on track and very similar to this time last year with earnings to date per share of $1.62. While the Northwest continues to struggle with high unemployment, the pace of our customer additions edged slightly higher with a growth of just above 1%. Given the sluggish economic conditions in the region we were pleased to announce for the second year in a row I might add, a rate decrease to customers due to lower gas costs. Starting this month residential rates are about 2% lower in both Oregon and Washington. With these decreases in place, our customers will be paying about the same amount for their natural gas this winter as they did in 2004. And with electric rates on the rise in many Northwest communities, the increasing gap between natural gas and electricity prices strengthens our competitive position in both the conversion and new construction segments. Shifting to operations. Year-to-date O&M expenses are down by 6% compared to 2009, primarily due to lower payroll costs and lower bad debt expense. In these numbers you can see the hard work we have done over the last several years to streamline our operations. As importantly we continue to see proof that our cost management efforts have not negatively impacted customer service.

Daylight Savings Time starts two weeks earlier than usual in Canada and
the US this year (March 11th instead of April 1st).
I know that FreeBSD 6.1 and later have the appropriate zoneinfo files
and therefore expect this. Because m0n0wall 1.3b is based on FreeBSD
6.2, it too has the appropriate files in zoneinfo.tgz. As far as I can
tell 1.23b3 still has an older zoneinfo.tgz which won't support extended
My question is whether there will be a full release of either m0n0wall
1.23 (with patched zoneinfo.tgz) or 1.3 (with already-correct
zoneinfo.tgz) before March 11th. I don't have a problem with "rolling
my own" zoneinfo.tgz into m0n0wall 1.22, but would rather use a non-beta
version that I haven't had to tinker with. (Maybe there could be a
m0n0wall 1.22.1 release which has no changes except to zoneinfo.tgz?)
Just checking to see what's going on with this so I can plan
accordingly. Thanks.

It's as if the US is a starship under mutiny. The mutineers have pressed the button that starts the countdown to self-destruction, trying to force the captain to capitulate, and we watch in awful fascination to see how the worst case can be avoided.
For derivative traders this week, the prospect of a US default or debt downgrade has given all but the bravest a reason to retreat to the sidelines. Those willing to take positions are trading short term, taking advantage of some big swings.
"We've seen a shift to the short side [selling] in the US dollar and shares," says Michael McCarthy, chief market strategist at CMC Markets. "There has also been interest in other currencies, especially the Swiss franc, which has seen record highs against the euro as well as the US dollar.
"The other pick-up is in long [bought] positions in gold, but only the more experienced and active traders are in the market. A lot have moved to sidelines; those that are trading are doing so intraday."
The Australian dollar's move through a key technical level at $US1.08 sparked keen interest in buying the currency against the greenback, and there was profit taking at levels above $US1.10, enabling the smart traders to bank gains of 200 points (US2¢ per $A) or more, McCarthy says.
"One of the drivers is a weak US dollar, but CPI [inflation] expectations are also playing a part. Before the latest CPI figures the markets were pricing in a rate cut by December or earlier. Now that has been reversed and they are pricing a 16 per cent chance of a rate lift next week," he says. But he adds that this is partly a result of hedging strategies that do not necessarily involve a view on rates.
Energy stocks surged early in the week but the trend was reversed on Tuesday. "That presented opportunities for profit but it's also a time for very careful risk management," McCarthy says.
Oil Search, for example, traded in a range from $6.72 to a high of $6.97 this week. "It covered that territory a couple of times," he says, giving the best traders some gains and others a challenge.
News Corp was another attraction, having taking a pounding recently after the UK inquiry into its illegal phone hacking. There was a relief rally but the possibility of an examination of its Australian business took optimism out of the market, leading to fresh short sales.
"The materials sector is where we are seeing the biggest moves. Oceania, for example, was down from $2.68 at the close on Thursday, opening at $2.35 on Friday," McCarthy says. Early on Friday the company's report showed a massive increase in production costs from $US687 an ounce in the first quarter to $US921 in the latest period.
McCarthy says there has been a drop in trading index pairs, which involves taking opposite positions in Australian and overseas indices, particularly US share index derivatives. "There are no clear investment themes. Copper and oil are going in different directions, which is unusual. It's a tough trading environment," he says.
Jack Kouzi, head of the trading desk at CFD provider International Capital Markets, says there has been extreme nervousness about what is happening in the US. "It's not a question of the US defaulting on debt, but on interest payments. The short-term shockwave would be enormous and if debt were to be downgraded it would be the first time since ratings started that US debt was not rated AAA."
Nevertheless, Kouzi says, "there are still some good stories in the Australian market and some traders are using the situation to buy on dips or go short via CFDs or put options. We have seen many investors taking out option protection for their equity portfolios, buying puts to defend against serious downward pressure".
Traders who trawled through the smaller-cap miners found gains to be had in stocks like Cerro Resources, which has silver deposits, and Augur Resources, which is exploring for copper, gold and nickel. Silver was up and both copper and gold were heading for new highs this week.
Kouzi says the fact that the crude oil price has held up recently suggests a positive outlook for global economic growth, despite sluggishness in Europe and the US. "It will be a volatile couple of weeks but once the macro issues are out of the way the market will concentrate on the micros, which are positive, and investors will flock back in."
Chris Gore, an analyst at currency specialist GO Markets, says negativity about US debt weighed on the Australian dollar on Friday, halting its upward move, although traders were still taking long positions. But he has noted some pre-emptive sell orders in place above $US1.108.
"Some are punting on a breakout above those levels, but those sell orders would present a headwind," Gore says. "We are seeing a lot of sidelining because of US debt issues. If there is any last-minute deal [on the US debt ceiling] some of the losses the US dollar has sustained would be unwound, but we would expect that to be a short-term bounce.
"What happens now depends on what the US result is – it will be tough to understand until we get clarity. Any resolution will give the US a bounce [upward] but which way it moves then will depend on the finer points of the deal. We stress that our central case for the $A is one of strength going forward."
