text: A 44-year old Pickens County man is being sent to federal prison for 10 years for child pornography. The government announced the sentence handed up by Judge Tim Cain to Jackie Dean Barnes of Easley. Here's the announcement from U-S Attorney Bill Nettles: "Evidence presented at the change of plea hearing established that on October 27, 2011, law enforcement conducted an on-line Internet investigation to identify individuals possessing and sharing child pornography using a publicly available peer-to-peer file sharing program. Agents identified a user sharing several hundred files that had names associated with child pornography. Two files were downloaded and were indeed child pornography. Further investigation revealed that the computer sharing the files was located in Easley, South Carolina. On December 5, 2011, a search warrant was obtained for Barnes' home address. During the execution of the warrant, agents located a laptop computer in the bedroom occupied by Barnes. A forensic examination of the computer revealed multiple images of child pornography."

The University Record, May 6, 1997
Japanese tea boxes are a hit
Washi boxes, wooden tea boxes covered with Japanese handmade washi paper (shown above), are styled after the large boxes used in Japan to ship and store bulk tea. These boxes are perennial bestsellers at the Museum of Art's Museum Shop where each one seems to offer something new.
The paper is crafted in Japan in the cold of winter by mountain inhabitants, so that the craftsmen can make use of the pure waters of melting snow. The icy water eliminates bacteria that would contaminate the fibers. The fibers for washi paper, from the bark of small trees similar to mulberry, are steamed, dried, scraped, boiled, rinsed, picked, beaten, and then placed in a wooden vat of cold water with a suspension agent. A screen is plunged into the vat and lifted out, then rhythmically shaken so that an even network of fibers cross and intertwine, forming a strong paper. Sheets of paper are placed one at a time on boards and dried in the winter sun. Photo courtesy Museum of Art

text: MINNEAPOLIS, May 2, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clearfield, Inc. (Nasdaq:CLFD), the specialist in fiber management and connectivity platforms for communications providers, today announced that Logic, a broadband service provider looking to bring fiber to every home and business in the Cayman Islands, has standardized on Clearfield for its fiber connectivity, distribution, and protection requirements. Logic is deploying the FieldSmart fiber management platform of panels and cabinets and FieldShield microduct and pushable fiber for connectivity directly into the home. Logic's new fiber optic network will deliver integrated broadband access and voice services to its customers. Logic has designed its entire network architecture for scalability, allowing it to easily add new services. The result is a feature-rich network, flexible enough to grow and develop as customer needs for new solutions are uncovered. "The people and businesses of our Cayman communities expect superior communication capabilities," David Corbin technical manager for Logic explains. "We chose Clearfield because their products are designed to make deployment and operation efficient. We have been able to stay ahead of the deployment schedule because of their ease of product as well as Clearfield's fast delivery times." Recently, Logic launched LogicTV. Features include HD channels, Picture-in-Picture channel preview, TotalHome DVR, and Video On Demand. "LogicTV will provide a unique interactive experience with an advanced technology, very different from the standard cable or satellite options commonly used today," continued Corbin. "LogicTV channels are transmitted over high speed fiber optics cables. Our technological requirements demanded only the highest performing capital equipment. Clearfield is the foundation of that capability." "It is a pleasure to have the Clearfield sales and engineering staff working alongside the employees of Logic," said Cheri Beranek, president and CEO of Clearfield. "Our cultures are very similar – both of our companies are dedicated to customer service and the delivery of quality solutions."

SHOPS in Kendal and Ulverston have been praised for refusing to sell alcohol to young teenagers.
Cumbria County Council's Trading Standards team joined forces with Cumbria Police this week to stamp out under age sales in South Cumbria.
est purchasing operations were carried out where two 15-year-old volunteers visited nine retailers in Ulverston and five in Kendal in an attempt to purchase alcohol.
All of the retailers tested successfully challenged the teenagers and all sales were refused.
The exercise included a number of "proxy" alcohol attempts. This is where a child asked a person over the age of 18 to purchase alcohol on their behalf. On each occasion the sale was refused.
Angela Jones, Cumbria Trading Standards Manager, said: "I am very pleased that all the retailers tested refused both direct sales of alcohol and proxy sales.
"Current research indicates that proxy supply of alcohol to children by adults still substantially contributes to the access young persons have to alcohol. I would urge any adult who is asked to buy alcohol for individuals under the age of 18 to think carefully about their actions - it is an offence for which they can be prosecuted."
Anyone with information regarding the possible illegal sales of alcohol, tobacco, knives, butane gas or other age restricted products can contact Trading Standards via the Citizens Advice Consumer Helpline on 08454 04 05 06 or Cumbria police on 101.

Bozell, Hannity Discuss MSNBC's Desperate Attempt to Smear Susan Rice Critics As Racist
Attempts by liberal MSNBC pundits like Touré and Richard Wolffe to dismiss conservative criticisms of Amb. Susan Rice as racially-motivated are evidence of the "militant, radical Left flexing its muscles" post-Obama reelection, NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell told Sean Hannity on the "Media Mash" segment of the Fox News host's November 29 program.
"Where were" liberal journalists when "Clarence Thomas was smeared in his confirmation hearings" or "with Allen West in Florida?" Bozell asked. "When a conservative black man is attacked," the media are mute, failing to consider if perhaps there is racism at play in the criticisms leveled by liberals. What's more, if Rice were white, the media would simply complain Republican critics are "anti-woman," the Media Research Center founder observed [watch the full segment below the page break].

- Scored 994 out of 1000 points at the Classic Chevy Show
With 1957 Bel Air convertibles being six-figure collectables and arguably the hottest segment in the collector car hobby, it takes a lot of guts and even more money to pull the gloves off, buck tradition and build a highly modified pro-tourer. But when you stand back and look at a car like this 994 out of 1000 point show winner, you realize ignoring tradition and thinking outside of the box definitely pays off. With a seamless Porsche Red body, a custom leather interior that's complete with both air conditioning and a modern sound system, and a hot LS1 Corvette motor that makes reliable cruising a breeze at ANY speed, this awesome rag top is the kind of well-done custom that you can pick up trophies with and enjoy absolutely anywhere on the open road. There will always be super nice Bel Air resto-mods, but few tri-fives have this car's awesome combination of modern performance and classic style. If you're one of the many enthusiasts who's constantly torn between the cool virtues of a Friday night boulevard cruiser and the adrenaline rush of a Saturday afternoon curve carver, why not enjoy a little of both?
Professionally built without any regard for expense, this 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible it is chock full of marvelous craftsmanship. As a no-compromises showpiece, which combines everything great about classic Chevy design with modern technology that's more akin to a new Corvette, its complete frame-off restoration began with a 100% rust-free body. Once that body's panels exhibited a rock solid factory appearance, and displayed precise fit and finish which rivaled the best modern cars on the market, their seams were filled with lead and their surfaces were bathed in a killer combination of Porsche Red paint and thick, glossy clear. The result is one rockin' tri-five hot rod which looks absolutely stunning and is sure to elicit double takes wherever it goes.
The '57 is certainly the most well-known of the tri-five Chevys with brilliant trim and crisp, retro styling that strikes a perfect balance between grandiose 50s bling and exaggerated 60s proportions. At the front of the car a heavy, body-width bumper houses a proper gold Bel Air grille behind a pristine Chevrolet crest and two clear parking lights. Above that Chevrolet crest, Bel Air exclusive gold hood ornamentation sits between good looking '57 Chevy exclusive 'spear bullets and spoons' and new hooded headlights. At the sides of the car classic tri-five side panels, which connect the front fenders with the rear fins, are branded by Bel Air exclusive gold emblems and display no dulling or imperfections of any kind. At the top of those fenders, excellent looking stainless trim combines with correct chrome mirrors, new Raingear wipers and a canvas Saddle top to perfectly frame a like-new greenhouse. At the back of the car, peaked stainless trim begins at the top of the fins and continues down to '57 Chevy exclusive chrome tail lights and a second body-width chrome bumper. And between those tail lights, another Bel Air exclusive gold "Chevrolet" script complements a matching gold "V" and four pristine Borla stainless exhaust tips.
Take a peek under this car's smooth, rolled hood and you'll find a stout 5.7 liter LS1 Corvette V8 which produces solid power and effortless torque. Straight from GM, this fully-sorted package combines a sturdy aluminum block with lightweight aluminum heads, coil-near-plug ignition and aluminum flat top pistons to create razor sharp throttle response and lightning quick acceleration. At the front of the engine a modern serpentine system, which is complete with a full set of chrome pulleys and chrome brackets, spins a chrome alternator and a chrome AC compressor at the sides of a chrome air cleaner that's equipped with a fresh re-usable filter element. Once air enters that filter, it flows through a factory LS1 throttle body into a factory LS1 intake which is bolted down over completely stock internals. High octane fossils are provided by a GM electronic fuel injection system. Sparks are sequenced through factory GM plug wires. Spent gases are whisked away by a slick pair of ceramic coated shorty headers. And cooling comes courtesy of a heavy duty Griffin radiator that's complete with a chrome cover, black and chrome corrugated hoses, a polished overflow tank, a chrome Griffin branded cap and two large puller fans. Not a detail has been missed under this Bel Air's satin black hood. Niceties such as a chrome brake booster and master cylinder, detailed hood hardware, braided hoses and trick braided dipsticks add just the right amount of flash and detail to make people stop and take notice. And the car's glossy engine compartment combines with the LS1's clean silver casting to provide a natural contrast which oozes performance appeal.
Underneath this sharp drop-top a stunningly straight and smooth chassis is finished in flawless satin black paint and, when viewed next to the car's plethora of clean suspension parts, looks so nice you'll swear it's floated down less than 10 miles of country black top. Above that top notch chassis, solid red floor pans wear a chip-free coat of what appears to be traditional oxide primer. And behind the engine, a new 4L60E 4-speed spins torque through a new driveshaft and a fully rebuilt rear end. Holding that road ready powertrain in place is a fresh, fully-sorted suspension which includes tubular control arms up front, correct leaf springs out back and a fresh set of Monroe Sensa Trac shocks at all four corners. Modern car turning characteristics are provided by Concept One power steering. Short, confident stops come courtesy of power four wheel disc brakes. And at the center of the floor, a 2.5 inch mandrel bent exhaust system sends spent gases through deep sounding Flowmaster Hushpower II mufflers to spotless Borla exhaust tips. All the car's fuel lines, brake lines and stainless fasteners appear fresh and free of weathering. Cool finishing touches, which include a thick front sway bar and a polished stainless fuel tank, combine trophy winning prowess with modern drivability. And putting the power to the pavement is a sweet set of 17 inch Foose Nitrous wheels which wear sticky 245/45 front and 255/45 rear General Exclaim Ultra High Performance radials.
Hit the button for the car's remote keyless entry and you'll find a gorgeous Saddle leather interior that has been stitched from front to back without any regard for busting the budget on time or cost. The rebuilt front and rear bench seats are all-day comfortable and feature supple, chrome trimmed hides that fit well and feel great. Beneath those seats, upscale tan carpet props color-keyed, bowtie branded floor mats next to attractive stainless pedal covers and a custom, bowtie branded console which flows leather into the bottom of the car's bright red dash. On the doors, custom sculpted panels look great between custom armrests, billet handles, bright red toppers and familiar chrome accessory switches. And front and center, a curvaceous dash is detailed with traditional tri-five stainless, controls for the car's Vintage Air climate system and a glove box mounted Custom Autosound head unit which bumps beats through both custom rear quarter speakers and tan Pioneer kick panel speakers. In front of the driver a bold, polished aluminum steering wheel spins a Saddle rim around a red and chrome tilt steering column, a full set of billet stalks and a full set of Classic Instruments whited faced gauges. And behind the cockpit, a custom leather convertible cowl snaps down over a remote activated trunk which features attractive leather accent panels, a hidden Custom Autosound 10 disc CD changer, and enough room for all your car show essentials.
Included with the sale of this spotless Bel Air is a component manual for its Custom Autosound 10 disc CD changer.
With merely shakedown miles since it was completed, this Bel Air is exactly the kind of car that ends up taking home big awards at big shows. Its restoration work is absolutely first rate and its professionally built drivetrain is fully-sorted and ready for years of carefree cruising. Take this Chevy for a drive, or trailer it to shows, and watch the crowds form! If you've been looking for the ultimate tri-five Chevy, we have the car for you!

Erb Street Mennonite Church Cemetery
Waterloo Regional Municipality
Ontario Canada
Erb Street Mennonite Church Cemetery:
First Name
Last Name
Cemetery notes and/or description:
The Erb Street Mennonite Cemetery lies at the corner of Erb Street and Fischer-Hallman Road in the city of Waterloo, Ontario. The land for the original church on this site was donated in 1851 by David Eby senior. A red brick church was erected, which ws know as the David Eby Church. The surrounding churchyard was used for burials. At the time, this church was well out of Waterloo Village proper and was perhaps not as convenient as might be for the local Mennonite church, but it also served members of the congregration in the surrounding parts of Waterloo Township.
In 1902 the Eby church as replaced by a new Erb Street building at a new located closer to town. This building, much enlarged, is an important part of the religious life of Waterloo to this day. The old churchyard remained as the cemetery for the new church, although separated from the building. As Waterloo has expanded, especially in the 1970's and 1980's, the city has come out to surround the small cemetery, which is now crowed by suburbia. The church and its congregation are no longer rural.

We've gone over 1,000 posts in the other thread so I will start a new one.
The newest Rambo movie.It was pretty bad.Don't watch unless you just have to see John J. kill a bunch of bad guys.
Saw Inglorious Basterds Friday night. Liked the movie, typical Tarantino style, but Brad Pitt was just awful. It's one of the worst acting jobs I think I've ever seen. As a matter of fact, I actuall laughed out loud on a couple of occasions in the movie. It was like he was doing a SNL skit and everyone else was in a serious drama.

I just saw The Deer Hunter, for the the first time. I was as mad watching that as I was after No Country for Old Men. Great movie, until we find out that Nick(Christopher Walken) was on the Vietnamese Professional Russian Roulette circuit. I hate when movies take a 90 degree turn on you right into the ditch.
Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.
"Now that's a real shame when folks be throwin' away a perfectly good white boy like that."
Over the weekend, the wife and I were both sick, so we watched:
The Soloist - horrible
The Wrestler - awesome
Twilight - pretty good
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - OK but long
"Bring on Rod Stupid!"
Saw the original Halloween on AMC recently.
It starts out pretty awesome and ends up pretty good. I didn't realize how much suspense and thrills it had. I had convinced myself it was as bad as the sequels.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
I hated the 2nd Halloween....I just kept thinking "Where are all the hospital workers? I've never seen a hospital this empty..." I loved the first one though. Especially for the time that it came out.
The best part about III was the Silver Shamrock song. You could drive your friends crazy singing "Five more day till Halloween, Halloween, Halloween.." over and over

Carter's has built a big business catering to little ones. Operating through its William Carter Company, it's the largest US branded marketer of apparel exclusively for babies and young children. Primary products include newborn layette clothing, sleepwear, and playwear. It markets its items under the Carter's and OshKosh B'Gosh brands, as well as private labels Child of Mine, Just One You, Genuine Kids, and Precious Firsts. While Carter's sells products online and as a wholesaler via 17,400 department and specialty stores, it also operates some 835 Carter's and OshKosh stores nationwide and almost 150 stores in Canada.
The company operates its business through five segments: Carter's Wholesale, Carter's Retail, OshKosh Retail, OshKosh Wholesale, and International. Following its Bonnie Togs purchase, Carter's realigned its reportable segments to include a new international segment to house its Canadian operations, existing international wholesale business, and royalty income from its international licensees.
Under its Carter's brand, it designs, source, and market a broad array of products, primarily for sizes newborn to eight.
Under the OshKosh brand, it designs, source, and market a broad array of young children's apparel, primarily for children in sizes newborn to 12.
Its International segment includes company-operated retail, wholesale, and online operations in addition to royalty income from its international licensees.
In fiscal 2016 (January year end) the company's international sales were 11% of total net sales; retail, 38%; and wholesale, 37%.
That year, the company sold more than 342 million units of Carter's, Child of Mine, Just One You, and Precious Firsts products in the US.
Sales and Marketing
Carter's markets its products through the department stores, national chains, outlet, specialty stores, off-price sales channels. The company sells its products through the wholesale channel, through company-owned retail stores in the US and Canada, and online. It partners with 20 licensees to sell the Carter's and OshKosh brands in 40 countries. Its Carter's brand wholesale customers include major retailers, such as, Costco, JCPenney, Kohl's, Macy's, and Sam's Club. Its OshKosh brand wholesale customers include major retailers, such as Belk, Bon-Ton, Fred Meyer, and Sears.
The company's brands compete in the $20.5 billion children's apparel market for children newborn to age 7. Carter's enjoys the #1 branded position and a 14% market share; OshKosh has a 2% market share. Because the company uses a variety of distribution channels, it's able to market its products to a more diverse range of consumers and geographic regions. Wal-Mart sells its Child of Mine line, while Target offers the Just One You and Precious Firsts brands.
Carter's maintains three distribution centers in US and other international distribution centers in Canada and Asia to support its direct-to-consumer retail operations.
The company allocated $3.9 million for each of the fiscal years 2016, 2015, and 2014 for advertising costs.
Carter's' marketing is focused on connecting with millennials by strengthening and evolving its digital programs to put its brands in front of the consumer in new and innovative way.
In fiscal 2016, the company implemented the Rewarding Moments rewards program to drive customer traffic, sales, and brand loyalty.
Carter's trademarks and copyrights include Genuine Kids, Child of Mine, Just One You, Precious Firsts and Little Layette.
Financial Performance
Net revenues have increased over the last five years. In fiscal 2016 revenues rose by 4% due to sales growth in all segments except OshKosh Wholesale.
Carter's Retail net sales increased by 5.9% as the result of new store openings, e-commerce sales, and an increase in comparable store sales. Carter's Wholesale net sales increased 2.4% driven by a rise in average price per unit and a 0.9% increase in units shipped, primarily driven by increased seasonal product demand, a new playwear initiative, and favorable replenishment trends.
OshKosh Wholesale net sales decreased 10.4%, reflecting a 15.8% decline in units shipped.
In 2016 net income increased by 22% mainly due to higher net and other income of $1.8 million compared to expense of $3.1 million in 2015 relating to contracts settled and unrealized gains.
Operating cash flows increased by 9%.
Carter's focuses on refreshing its brand presentation in all channels of distribution; geographic expansion, and strengthening its multi-channel business model. The company's strategy is to drive our brand image as the leader in baby and young children's apparel and to consistently provide high-quality products at a great value to consumers. It also strives to provide wholesale customers with a consistent, high-level of service, including delivering and replenishing products on time to fulfill customer needs. Its retail stores and websites focus on the customer experience through store and website design, visual enhancements, clear product presentation, and experienced customer service.
The company has developed a reputation for producing high-quality clothing for children -- from the cradle through the early school years. The Carter's brand and private-label collections made for mass-market customers offer apparel in newborn through children's size 12. These lines mostly consist of cotton essentials, such as bodysuits and pajamas, and collectively typically account for the bulk of its revenues. Besides apparel, Carter's licenses bedding, toys, furnishings, baby gear, and gifts that are sold through mass merchandisers. The OshKosh brand, acquired in 2005, has extended the company's product range from newborns through children size 12. Known for its rugged playclothes, including overalls and T-shirts, OshKosh items are marketed at higher price points than the company's traditional Carter's branded products. The company is working to boost its revenues further through expansion of its retail and outlet store operations.
In 2013 it opened 21 retail stores in Canada, expanded relationships with its global wholesale partners, and grew its eCommerce business. It also invested more than $180 million in capital expenditures in key areas including new retail stores, the build out of its new multi-channel distribution center in Georgia, the consolidation of operations into a new headquarters in Atlanta, and strengthening its information technology resources. During 2013 the company also opened 65 Carter's stores and 18 OshKosh stores in the US.
The company replicated its US multi-channel business model in Canada, the company's largest international business, including the launch of eCommerce capabilities in 2014. The company is also looking for growth opportunities in China and Brazil, and assessing the full potential of relationships with its international partners representing the company's brands throughout the world.
Mergers and Acquisitions
In 2014 Carter's acquired the exclusive rights to the Carter's brands including trademark registrations in Chile. The company acquired these rights ($3.6 million) in order to freely operate in Chile by offering products and service under the Carter's brand.
Company Background
The company in 2013 acquired worldwide rights to the Carter's Watch the Wear and H.W. Carter & Sons brands (including trademark registrations) for $38 million.
Carter's extended its reach northward into Canada and added an international segment to its business as a result of the company's 2011 $98 million purchase of Bonnie Togs, a Canadian specialty retailer of children's apparel and accessories. Bonnie Togs had been Carter's principal licensee in Canada since 2007.
Carter's was established in 1865 by William Carter.

Hanson shows off skill set in Curve's win
Pirates' No. 5 prospect goes 3-for-4 with home run, two stolen bases
By Mark Emery / MiLB.com | May 17, 2014 11:13 PM ET
Alen Hanson brings a lot of skills to the baseball diamond, and he demonstrated just about every one of them in Double-A Altoona's 3-0 win over Richmond on Saturday night.
The Pirates' No. 5 prospect went 3-for-4 with a homer and two runs scored. He also swiped a pair of bases and turned four double plays with Curve second baseman Gift Ngoepe.
"He highlighted the talents that obviously we like and a lot of people like," Altoona hitting coach Ryan Long said. "The key is being able to tap into those on a nightly basis and being able to show up mentally every day."
MLB.com's No. 58 overall prospect launched his fourth homer of the season off a 1-1 offering from Richmond starter Ty Blach, the Giants' No. 6 prospect, with one out in the sixth inning.
Three of the switch-hitter's four home runs have come against left-handed pitchers and three have come within the past six games. The one he hit Saturday didn't have much trouble clearing the fence.
"It was big, yeah. It was good. It wasn't a cheapie by any means," Long said. "He's special in that ... for a medium-sized-build guy and pretty light guy, he does have some strong hands, strong wrists. When he puts everything together, he can impact the ball pretty good."
Hanson began his night with a single to center in the bottom of the first before hitting another up the middle in the third. At that point, he stole second and third, upping his season total to 10.
After crossing the plate on Stetson Allie's eighth homer in the first, the 21-year-old was stranded at third base two innings later. Hanson popped out leading off the eighth in his final at-bat.
With his fourth three-hit game of the year, Hanson helped Altoona snap a three-game losing streak.
"He was just really balanced, man. Really balanced," Long said. "Had a nice swagger to him, good confidence going. Knew what pitches he wanted to hit and was sitting on those pitches, and when he got them, he hit them."
The native of the Dominican Republic is batting .273/.309/.448 with five doubles, five triples and 19 RBIs through 37 games. He's 10-for-13 in stolen base attempts, with 31 strikeouts and seven walks in his first full season at Altoona and fifth in pro ball since signing with the Pirates as a non-drafted free agent in July 2009.
To advance to Triple-A Indianapolis or Pittsburgh, Hanson will need to keep playing with focus and consistency, which Long said he's been doing more and more lately.
"Overall focus, man," Long said. "That's the separator for not only him but a lot of guys at this level. One of things you talk about with going to the next level is the manager and coaches need to know what they're going to get, what to expect.
"Talking about a potential big league player, that's what we're looking for, guys who are able to show up every night, every pitch, be disciplined for every pitch in every at-bat and be disciplined in the field, so they make the routine plays."
Hanson made all the routine plays on Saturday, and then some. The shortstop with the bright future soon could be moving on to bigger and better things, as long as he keeps doing the little things daily.
"It was great, man," Long said. "It was good to see from him. Obviously, we know it's in him. He has the potential to do that nightly. And that's what we're looking for out of him.
"When you have the talent that he got blessed with, it stands out."
Altoona starter A.J. Morris improved to 4-0 and lowered his ERA to 1.46 with seven shutout innings, allowing six hits and a walk while striking out four. Jhonathan Ramos and Emmanuel De Leon got the hold and save, respectively.

The federal Conservatives walk a delicate path with Jewish groups in this country as they extend their full support to an interim Ukrainian government that is known to contain anti-Semitic elements.
Jewish leaders in Canada have differing ideas about the magnitude of the threat to Ukraine's Jews, who number about 300,000. And they are dismissive of President Vladimir Putin's assertion that Russian troops have been sent into the country to protect the local populace against anti-Semitism.
But some Jews in Ukraine do fear they could be targeted for attack – unease fostered by the statements of Olech Tyahnybok, the leader of the nationalist Svoboda party which is playing a key role in the new government, who in 2004 alleged that a "Jewish-Muscovite Mafia" was ruling Ukraine.
In recent days, there have been reports of anti-Semitic vandalism and a Molotov cocktail being thrown at a synagogue. One prominent rabbi in Kiev urged the city's Jews to leave the country. And some Canadian Jewish leaders have taken their anxiety about anti-Semitism in Ukraine to cabinet ministers in the Conservative government, which for years has targeted Canada's Jewish community for special political attention.
Frank Dimant, CEO of B'nai Brith Canada, said in a telephone interview this week that his group is "very much concerned that part of the element that was calling for freedom and change in Ukraine was made up of neo-Nazi and extreme right-wingers."
Mr. Dimant asked Immigration Minister Chris Alexander last week to advocate against any tolerance of anti-Semitism in Ukraine. He also asked that Jews who want to leave Ukraine, and who want to come to Canada rather than Israel for family reunification or professional purposes, be allowed to do so.
"We wanted the government to be sympathetic and he said they would be," he said.
Mr. Alexander said Wednesday that everyone facing persecution has access to Canada's asylum programs. "We're concerned about anti-Semitism in several parts of Europe and the world over," he said. "If there are pressures for us to do more on the immigration side, we'll look at that."
Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird was in Ukraine last week and spoke to political leaders there, including one who has been accused of anti-Semitism.
"I raised Canada's concern about anti-Semitism and said that, 'you know, all political leaders, whether they be in government or opposition, should try to build a pluralistic Ukraine that's fully representative of the diversity of the country,'" Mr. Baird said Tuesday without identifying the Ukrainian leader who was the recipient of his advice.
Mr. Baird said he also met Jews who were part of the protests that forced out former president Viktor Yanukovych, and they said the problems of anti-Semitism had been exaggerated.
Shimon Fogel, the chief executive of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs in Canada, said he believes Jews are among the pawns being exploited to advance the parochial agendas of multiple stakeholders in Ukraine. Mr. Fogel and Mr. Dimant both agree that is the game being played by Mr. Putin.
The Russian President earned credibility with members of Russia's Jewish community by introducing measures during his first term in office that have enhanced their safety. "The issue now is that he's exploiting those credentials in adding just one more rationale for the Russian posturing and intervention," said Mr. Fogel, whose group has denounced the Russian invasion of Crimea.
Mr. Fogel said he does not believe the fears of anti-Semitism have been validated on the ground. If the situation were to change, and the interim government in Ukraine allowed for a spike in anti-Semitism, he said he would ask Canada to address the situation. But "from what I understand," Mr. Fogel said, "Ukrainian leaders understand that the fate of the Jews during this particular period is an important litmus test for their general comportment and orientation."Report Typo/Error

Johann Hari argues that multiculturalism is betraying Muslim women by defending unacceptable customs and behaviors. For Hari, multiculturalism isn't helping immigrants, but making social outcasts by giving them the right to refuse to integrate in the name of tolerance. Sugary excerpt:
Multiculturalists believe they are defending immigrants. But in reality, they are betraying at least 55 percent of them - the women and the gays. It is multiculturalists, for example, who are the biggest champions of the government's massive expansion of 'faith schools', where children will be segregated according to parental superstition and often taught the most literalist and cruel strain of a 'faith'.
What will girls and gay pupils be taught there? Will they have Sura 4, verse 34 drilled into them, along with the passages from the hadith where Mohammed calls for gay people to be executed? We know Catholic schools often push the most vile aspects of their faith at children; why should Muslim schools be different?
My only question is whether all integration failures can be placed on the shouldres of multiculturalists that is whether multiculturalism hasn't become an easy scapegoat for the failures of multi-ethnic societies to integrate their society. After, many of those who are arguing multiculturalism are the same who yesterday were for separation and segregation in the name of purity and who are today arguing integration doesn't just have to do with banning the unacceptable and the intolerable, but with "disinfecting" immigrants in order to make them clean and less visible.

Moto X+1 and Verizon DROID line detailed for August
Those of you looking to upgrade to a new Motorola device may be in luck with releases in the near future. Words and images this week suggest that Motorola is ramping up toward not only a new Moto X, but a series of DROID devices for Verizon as well. A Moto G release is stuck in there somewhere as well - all of these releases set for non-traditional street dates.

Despite the burgeoning market for data theft and growing number of outfits organized to inflict it, insiders are still the biggest risk and first suspect in any major data loss or bit of industrial espionage, industry analysts and academics agree.
But who, among the people you have to trust, are the most likely to betray you in exchange for a few bucks from a competitor or the chance to strike back against society by releasing onto the Internet the uncensored truth in customer-transaction records, product-recall documentation and cost-prediction scenarios for global widget shipping and fulfillment networks?
Symantec recruited a pair of Ph.D.s – forensic psychologist Harley V. Stock of Incident Management Group and clinical psychologist/security consultant Eric Shaw – to conduct a study on the personalities and social contexts common among insider data thieves.
The full report, including early warning signs, profiles of likely data thieves, motivations and behaviors common to data thieves, won't be released until Dec. 7.
There is a remarkably consistent thumbnail picture of the typical data thief, available right away, however.
In 52 percent of the cases examined, stolen trade secrets were taken by an insider, most often a current employee who is male, about 37 years old, who has served mainly in technical positions.
Consistent as that is, it's also almost too generic to do any good – at least within IT, which is still disproportionately male compared to most other departments.
It will be interesting to see if there is a common twist of demographics or psychographics that drives male technologists in their late 30s to steal.
The other possibility is that the geek stereotype is heavily represented among data thieves because it's so common in IT, and people in IT have the easiest access to sensitive, potentially salable data.
Symantec will release the report itself Dec. 7. It will follow with a webcast featuring the two researchers on Dec. 12 titled The Psychology of Insider Theft: What Pushes Employees to Steal?
In the meantime, if you're worried about insider theft, keep your eyes on the guys – the guys in IT or who look like they should be, who drive a little nicer car and go on vacations a little more posh than you'd expect.
Don't expect even successful data thieves to dress more swankily than their colleagues, however.
Honest or not, the skills that advance a geek's career to the point he can be a real danger generally have nothing to do with the ability to dress sharp.

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim
Salaam Alaikum wa Rahmatullah
Okay, so today I worked. I usually go to the office on Sundays and do eBay, leaving the children in the care of Daddy. So far it has worked out okay. I come home to the same number of children that were there when I left and they all call me "Mommy". Usually I'm home around four or so, in time to make dinner. When they are with Daddy, they eat a lot of cereal, apples, more cereal…
Today, I went in late (hubby's fault), and consequently came home later than usual. In my absence, hubby tried to make dinner. Now, I give him an "E" for effort, but evidently the execution was lacking. He was upset because he spent "two hours" (husband time meaning approximately fifteen minutes with two potty breaks) making food and no one, not even his father, wanted to eat it. What gourmet meal did he slave over?
He boiled potatoes, boiled carrots, and chopped some parsely. Then he cut up the veggies and put them in a bowl. He looked for vinegar but did not find any. He failed to call me to ask where the vinegar was (in the cabinet next to the pickles). He mashed up the potatoes and carrots, added the chopped parsley, and then added some lemon juice. He made some rice. He had some leftover fried chicken that he chopped up fine for his father, who can only eat soft food. That's it. That's the two-hour kitchen marathon. He offered this fare to his father, who decided he was not hungry. He offered this to his children, who decided they'd rather go play out in the yard and eat dirt. He tried some himself and eventually just gave it up as a bad effort. My oldest son escaped to his friend's house. The friend had chicken nuggets. The other boys had toast and jelly. The baby ate a few saltines.
When I came home, wan hungry faces gazed up at me. Rather than doing what I had planned to do (potty break, sit down and rest my probably broken toe and read and watch a Nascar race), I headed straight to the kitchen. I was able to "repair" the potato "salad" by adding some olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. I made a gravy for the rice with some leftover chicken stock, opened a can of vegetarian baked beans, tossed some frozen fried chicken in the oven, and voila! after 45 minutes dinner was on the table. Everyone ate, and had room left for watermelon.
The blessing is that hubby did not make too big a mess in the kitchen. Usually it looks like a disaster area when he's been in there. Hard to believe this man used to run two restaurants and room service for a major hotel. Well, there he had STAFF. Ah, well, no one starved and I did eventually get a potty break. No Nascar race, though; it got delayed due to rain. It will be run at noon tomorrow, inshAllah, so I'll be there watching while I scrub the Oreo cookie residue off the floor. I was going to do that tonight but one feverish toddler and a restless baby have kept me running back and forth. I'm surprised I was able to write this all at one go. Perhaps everyone is down for the count. I'll try to sneak off to bed now.
Have a lovely evening, or day, or morning, or whatever it is in your time zone. Hug your hubby if you have one and if he's like mine, if you have to go run errands and leave him with the kids, give him strict instructions to let the kids have all the cereal they want and DON'T go into the kitchen.

I don't consume excessive amounts of cheese, but I've always enjoyed it. Over the past few weeks, however, I've noticed after I eat a few nibbles, I'm almost put off by it, to the point where I don't even want it around me. What's the deal with that? (Side note - I am NOT lactose intolerant, nor do I experience any negative effects from eating cheese or milk products. I'm just confused by this sudden lack of adoration for a food I used to love.)
No announcement yet.
Cheese losing its appeal - what's up with that?

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.
I used to ingest peanut butter just walking into the kitchen. Now it tastes chemical and I can't eat it at all. Going to Paleo/Primal drastically changes your taste buds because real food tastes nothing like manufactured junk. If you want to eat cheese, try some that are very different than what you used to eat. Example if you liked cheddar, switch to very aged Blue cheeses. Or just move on to something else entirely.
Yes, I suppose it could be that my taste buds are changing. I'm eating good-quality stuff, but still there are times when I'll take a bite and suddenly it's just like - yuck. I expected this to happen with junk/crap foods, but not real food. It doesn't happen all the time, and not on the first bite, but if I go for more than a few little nibbles, the enjoyment factor is just . . . . gone.
Mmm. Boy do I love cheese. I used to hate it but recently I have grown to love it more and more.

I have had it happen with coffee. Seriously, one moment to another I couldn't stand the taste of it (smell was still quite appealing, though). I thought it was my coffee maker or perhaps the coffee grounds - but for a while I couldn't drink any coffee whatsoever.
The funny thing is that when this happened, I quite coffee cold turkey and didn't experience any withdrawal symptoms whatsoever (while before I had tried to quit for a while and couldn't because of headaches etc.). I seemed like my body just had enough of coffee for a while!
It lasted a few months for me and now I enjoy 1-2 cups daily (before the eh 'reset' happened I usually had about 3-5 cups daily, though).
I hope it won't happen again It's not just the actual drink itself, but coffee is just... an 'experience' for me. I don't want to have to miss that again!
But yes, taste preferences can change 'suddenly' for seemingly no reason. No idea what's up with it, but if it's not about something vital to your diet I think it's best to go with it. After a while you could try some good cheese again to see if you enjoy it at that point.
I've had several foods I used to like become foods I no longer like. Also the reverse. The worst change for me was 'fried cheese sandwiches'. I've loved them since I was a child. My very favorite lunch. Because they include bread I haven't had any for over a year. Today I did have one. I could remember the taste. They were soooo good.
No Longer. I'm sorry I had one. The bad taste of chemicals lingers on - from the bread. The cheese (cheddar) is the same cheese I've been eating for 1.5 weeks and it's still good. But the bread taste is just awful."When the search for truth is confused with political advocacy, the pursuit of knowledge is reduced to the quest for power." - Alston Chase
We found that we kinda went off cheese when we threw the bread and crackers out, but have just recently reintroduced it with nachoes and lasagne (using courgettes as the pasta layer).

Game Summary
The Miami Heat traveled to frozen Minnesota on Saturday night and demonstrated once again why they just may be on their way to winning a third consecutive NBA Finals. The big three needed little more than 2 quarters to put the game in cruise control en route to a blowout road win. LeBron James needed only 31 minutes to post a line of 21 points (9-12 FG), 14 rebounds and 8 assists while Dwayne Wade played through injury on his way to 19 points (7-14 FG), 5 rebounds and 4 assists.
The Heat had a few scares in the first quarter after Chris Bosh took an accidental Shane Battier fist to the eye and not soon after when Wade's aggravated right knee collided with Kevin Martin's. However, both players returned to action and were able to play without restriction.
The Wolves were without Kevin Love, who missed the game due to the recent passing of his grandmother. The superstar's absence made life very difficult on the offense as they clearly missed his ability to stretch the floor. As one of the best coached defensive teams in the league, Miami did a tremendous job of limiting and slowing penetration, effectively nullifying any attempts by Ricky Rubio or other Minnesota guards.
It goes without saying that last night was Ricky's worst game of the season as he scored just a single point in 27 minutes while recording six turnovers to his six assists. Our Catalan import missed all four of his field goal attempts while getting completely shut down by Miami defenders. Rubio has been in a funk as of late, and it is fair to say that it revolves around his inability to score efficiently. Opposing teams are beginning to figure out how to game plan for him, and it is going to take more than getting Love back into the lineup to straighten out Rubio's game.
The sellout Target Center crowd witnessed Luc Richard Mbah a Moute's first start as a Pup, but the stellar defender was put in his place against the best player in the league. Minnesota tried using different looks from both Mbah a Moute and Corey Brewer in an attempt to stifle James, but neither were able to effectively contain the king. While they did contribute to his seven turnovers, they did not stop him from getting to the rim at will. Shooting 9-12 from the field, LeBron did not need to attempt a single three-pointer in order to lead the Heat to a blowout victory.
Obviously, I can sit here and digest this early season loss for as long as I want, but in order to be proactive I will point out some statistics that I think most clearly point out the biggest current issues for the Timberwolves:
- Blocks: MIN 1, MIA 8 – It is becoming a trend for me to talk about the Timberwolves difficulties protecting the rim. Minnesota ranks DEAD LAST in blocks in the league and the addition of Love back into the lineup is not going to change that. The only player with bona fide shot-blocking potential is Gorgui Dieng, but he has a long ways to go before he becomes a stalwart in Rick Adelman's rotation.
- Team FG% – MIN 29%, MIA 55% – Where is the defense? When it boils down to it, good defense comes from pure hustle and effective strategizing from the coaching staff. If there is any way for Adelman to get Elston Turner back onto his coaching staff, I hope that he reaches out to him because Minnesota's defense has been abysmal against top opponents.
- Fast Break Points – MIN 14, MIA 24 – What ever happened to United We Run? The transition play has been virtually non-existent for a team that began the season as one of the fastest-paced teams in the league. Slowing down will only hurt this Wolves team as they currently have major deficiencies on the defensive end and have exploitable weaknesses (i.e., baiting Rubio to take jumpers).
This was a bad loss, there is no way around it. However, the Wolves still sit at 9-11 and on Tuesday night will face a Detroit Pistons squad that has plenty of their own problems. We must recognize that this team has not even come close yet to playing to their potential and I believe the addition of Chase Budinger to the rotation will really help to solidify our bench. It is up to the every player and the coaching staff to work their butts off to fix the defense as it will be the key to reaching the postseason.

ROY, UTAH -- I am hereby demanding that my accounts be closed, effective immediately. The reason that I am taking this action is because of the unacceptable policies that are being utilized at my expense, and I am literally fed up with your "Greedy" Business Practices. In my banking experiences - over the past thirty years, dealing with many other financial institutions, I have never encountered the amount of problems with overdraft fees that are constantly reoccurring with my checking account. The practice of your credit/debit posting practices are "Shady" at best.
One example of this is posting debits on a holiday (A Non Banking Business Day) and not posting the credits that were pending also, until the next day. Another example is the shuffling of order in which the transactions occurred to maximize overdraft fees. Another example is the way your computers post account data, designed to confuse the customer, because it is not accurate at any given time with your continual overdraft trap, designed to gouge your customers.
I find this practice to be horrendous and despicable. A bank is supposed to be working in my best interest, and not lurking in the shadows of deception, waiting to pilfer the customer at their earliest convenience, it is a matter of ethics and scruples, really...
Wells Fargo should be ashamed, and should be nominated to the Hall of Shame. I have a question for Wells Fargo? If the money isn't in the account, then why aren't the transactions denied? It seems that your computers are programmed to build revenue - In Wells Fargo's favor, at the customer's expense, by dragging its heels to notify customers of their overdraft status until days later, believing that they had a positive balance in their account (according to your current computer account information data), that they rely on - continuing to make minor purchases and being fleeced with overdraft charges .
"Is there a human-being monitoring these computers?" that is a scary thought. Don't rely on your online banking service, which is totally useless in my opinion. I have never had problems with other banks, because they were predictable and consistent. Banking with Wells Fargo is much like going to a casino with the customer service of an all night Taco Bell Drive through.
In closing, I know that Wells Fargo does not care, about me, the customer and that is OK too. If my small business ever takes off, rest assured that my money will certainly not be deposited with Wells Fargo Bank... I am not the only disgruntled customer of Wells Fargo Bank, here are some other customer complaints from the many disgruntled customers (too many to list) whom have left your institution...
It appears that Wells Fargo is more interested in making a "Quick Buck", than establishing long term relationships with its customers. I also wish upon Wells Fargo - that the fleas of a thousand camels, infest their arm pits!!! Wells Fargo Bank - one of the carbuncles on the butt of mankind...
FORT WORTH, TEXAS -- It's amazing that after over 13 years with a bank we will be moving our money elsewhere. I recently ran into an issue with them where I had to use a cash advance to take care of some unexpected bills. Well they already charged ridiculously for the service but on top of that they withdrew the month back too early on another deposit that I made to the bank. Usually what would happen is that they would wait for the next pay period to take the money out no big deal... but no that is not what happened.
Their response was "Sorry sir. Anytime that you make a deposit over 100 dollars we automatically add that to the funds that you borrowed." That doesn't make any sense, I deposited more money to be able to cover some additional bills and now you're going to hit me up for it? "Well sir what we CAN DO FOR YOU IS... YOU CAN ACTUALLY ASK FOR ANOTHER CASH ADVANCE WITH OF COURSE ANOTHER FEE TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR ISSUE." SOO pretty much borrow the money that I just deposited again that was my money so that you can now add a fee to it? Why didn't you just leave my money alone?
"Well sir.." and again I got the answer that they read from their script. What is sad is that I did make the additional cash advance I needed to make sure that they didn't charge me any more additional overdraft fees. Well gues what? I check it tonight and WHAT DO YOU KNOW - 2 more fees for 35 dollars a pop that were not there this morning. They turn around and state "Ooo sir you must have have not notice..." Really that is funny because I was speaking with you guys this morning. "OOO sir well it processed during the day and you missed it." WHAT!!!
I will make sure that any one that I know doesn't do any type of business with this bank. That are manipulating the system and holding small purchases so that they can hit you with overdraft fees... so something that was 10 dollars is now 49 (because of their 39 Fee)... it is outrageous that they get away with it... real shame. They know what they are doing it is not about the customer it's about making money off you by any means necessary.
I checked my account balance at 7 am 1/6/13, to check for weekly deposits and any withdrawals that had occurred. My account showed 2 hefty deposits and 4 small withdrawal transactions all dated 1/6/13. I had a solid balance, and was prepped to phone-in car payment after their offices opened.
At my lunch hour (11:30 am), I checked my account and the four small deposits now showed a transaction date of 1/3/13 - and I now had 4 overdraft fees at $35 each!!! One withdrawal was less than $2!! How did transaction dates magically change and appear 3 days prior!!! I called customer service and listened to her explain that nothing could be done, as the dates were correct - as if I made it up!! Something should be done to keep banks from using these dishonest practices to generate revenue. I'm closing this Wells Fargo account ASAP!! What a RIP-OFF!!
I deposited money, then went shopping. Woke up, had an overdraft fee. I was told by Wells Fargo that if money is deposited BEFORE a withdraw there is no fee. I told the customer service representative that that was what happened. I was then told that because the branch that I deposited my money with had a posting time of 2:00 and because I deposited my money after the withdrawal came first. They told me, that it is Wells Fargo's policy that the customer knows what the posting time for ALL branches are.
When I called to get the fee reimbursed, Scott a "manager", had a total inability to empathize with me as a customer. He did nothing but follow the process and basically just read off the prompt and flowchart Wells Fargo employees are given. To give an example, Erb also proceeded to tell me that he did not think people were upset with the banking industry and it was the customer's responsibility to know the posting times of each branch. Needless to say, I will be switching banks.
DENVER, COLORADO -- I have been banking with Wells Fargo since they took over Bank of Monaco. That's a faithful customer. You would think they would want to keep me as a customer. I have over half a mill with them. They have recently been out to rip the public off.
Do not let a check of even a penny be overdrawn for more than a minute because transferring from one account to another does not occur instantly according to Wells Fargo. I transferred enough money from one account to another within hours of two checks $130 and $400 and had $3000 transferred to cover those within 12 hours and Wells charged me for each "overdraft" of $35 each. They would not budge in removing the fees.
Also, we were using our HELOC to do accelerated mortgage payments and they did not like not having enough interest to collect from us so they lowered our line of credit. We opened it for that sole purpose. Needles to say, I am leaving Wells Fargo. Not like it used to be.

A gefault gateway is just that - a *default* gateway. If a PPTP client
(on your network, I assume from the description above) connects to a
remote PPTP server, they have their default gateway changed from its
previous setting (I'm assuming this was the internal m0n0wall IP) to the
remote network (you didn't say whether it was pointing to the actual
default gateway on the remote network, or to the PPTP endpoint/server on
the remote network, so I'm assuming its pointing to the PPTP Server on
the remote network).
Now, you also don't say whether the "Log packets blocked by default
rule" message is in your local m0n0wall logs, or the logs of the remote
network's m0n0wall, so I'll assume the most likely - the local m0n0wall
Well, if the local client used to work fine (before the PPTP connection)
then this is good - it means that TCP/IP is configured correctly
locally. If they then establish a PPTP connection to a remote server
and have their default gateway changed to this remote network, then
there's no way that this client can now know to send Internet traffic to
anywhere but the remote network - there's no longer a *local* default
gateway - its been changed to the remote network.
The best suggestion I have right now is to not use the "default gateway"
on the remote network for the PPTP session - it should not be needed as
the PPTP session should set up a route for traffic to the remote network
and not use a "default" gateway. This leaves your regular default
gateway still configured on these machines, making local traffic, PPTP
traffic anf unknown network (Internet) traffic work.

These will do SFA as the default gateway is redirecting traffic over the
PPTP connection, not out through your firewall's WAN connection.

Yup. :)

TOP STORY >> Trial set for killing by 3 in Lonoke jail
Leader senior staff writer
David Lane and Wesley Minnie of Cabot and Eddie Buchy of Ward entered not guilty pleas Monday to second-degree murder of Jerry Luker while the four were cellmates in the Lonoke County Jail.
Luker, 34, of Lonoke was taken to a Little Rock hospital where he later died of head injuries in October.
The co-defendants Buchy, Lane and Minnie pleaded not guilty to engaging in violent criminal-group activity and to being habitual criminals.
Circuit Judge Phillip Whiteaker set an omnibus hearing for the three men for 1 p.m. Feb. 16. Any motion to separate the trials would likely come at that hearing.
Whiteaker set the pretrial hearing for April 26 and the trial for April 27 - 28.
Lonoke County Prosecutor Will Feland has declined to elaborate on the circumstances of Lukers death in Oct. except to say the three defendants were all in the same cell as Luker and that the charges followed an investigation by the Arkansas State Police.
Luker died as the result of a major head injury. He had been committed to the state Correction Department to serve a 36-month sentence for fraudulent use of a credit card and felony probation violations, according to the Lonoke County Sheriffs Office.
While in custody in Lonoke, before he was to be transferred to the Correction Department, he received a head injury in the restroom area of the cellblock, according to the State Police.
Buchy is serving 36 months in the Correction Departments Pine Bluff Unit for convictions of theft by receiving, manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance, fraud/possession of drug paraphernalia and probation revocation.
Lane is serving eight years in the Tucker Maximum Security Unit for charges dating back as far as January 1998, including residential burglary, probation revocation, theft of property, manufacture, delivery and possession of a controlled substance, tampering with evidence and absconding.
Minnie is in the Cummins Unit, sentenced to five years for crimes including sexual indecency with a child, residential burglary, possession of drug paraphernalia, theft of property, breaking and entering, theft by receiving, failure to register and probation revocation.

BANKNOTE company accounts were regularly sent to the Reserve Bank's board - and the bank's deputy governor inserted material critical of its handling of overseas agents into an audit report, a court has heard.
In the committal of eight former company executives on bribery and false accounting charges, magistrate Phillip Goldberg asked defence lawyers: "What's the magic of what the Reserve Bank thinks? What does it matter?"
Barrister Neil Clelland, SC, said Reserve Bank audits and external audits were "being conducted seemingly on a continuous basis" between 1999 and 2003, the period that charges against his client, former Note Printing Australia chief executive John Leckenby, relate to.
Reserve Bank auditor John Klincke said auditors only became aware of the 1999 foreign bribery laws after the 2006 Cole report on bribery and the Australian Wheat Board kickbacks scandal. Prior to 2006, he said, Note Printing Australia staff had no policies, guidelines or protocols for dealing with overseas agents.
Former Reserve Bank auditor Paul Apps told the court that prior to 2007: "We found that there were a number of, we believed, fairly serious deficiencies in the internal control systems and the management of the control systems within Note Printing Australia." He said they never identified fraud, corruption or bribery.
Mr Clelland asked him: "Were you ever given advice by either the Attorney-General's office or anybody else regarding the introduction of that legislation?" Mr Apps: "Not that I can recall."
Mr Clelland: "Were you ever asked by the Reserve Bank or general counsel of the Reserve Bank or anybody else, to ensure that the wholly owned subsidiary of the Reserve Bank, Note Printing Australia, was advised about the introduction of that legislation at any time?"
Mr Apps: "No I can't recall."
When questioned by Mr Clelland about the source of a 2007 audit report's final paragraph, Mr Apps said it had been inserted by Reserve Bank Deputy Governor and head of the bank's board audit sub-committee, Ric Battellino.
The paragraph read: "More generally, NPA's conduct in relation to overseas agents demonstrates a disregard for appropriate business controls, which has long been a concern of the bank's audit committee. The findings also demonstrate the consequences of lax controls, or indeed an absence of controls. It is the most serious example of deficient business processes and questionable conduct in a series of audit findings. Audit has considerable concern that these types of control deficiencies have persisted for many years and still remain unaddressed."
Mr Clelland said RBA had relied on the paragraph "as part of the justification for distancing itself publicly from Note Printing Australia".
Barrister Mandy Fox, representing former Securency managing director Myles Curtis, said Securency's accounts were regularly sent to the Reserve Bank secretary's department and the bank's board.
She exhibited a report showing that auditors concluded in 2007 that Securency had "a good and robust process". Securency, was audited by the bank at the request of senior management, she said.
"Mr Curtis was inviting internal Reserve Bank audits in 2002, the very time he's supposedly engaged in all this corruption," she said.
The hearing continues.
