Antony Gormley Sculpture for Margate
A life size cast iron figure will be put in place on the chalk beds outside the Turner
A Sun journalist from Kent vowed to clear his name after appearing in court today accused of bribing two public officials.
Senior royal correspondent Duncan Larcombe, 37, of High Street, Aylesford, said he was "shocked and disappointed" to have been charged with conspiracy to commit misconduct in a public office by officers working on Operation Elveden, Scotland Yard's probe into alleged corrupt payments by journalists.
In a statement read outside Westminster Magistrates' Court in London by his solicitor James MacWhirter, Larcombe said: "I have been a journalist since the very week Princess Diana died.
"During my career, 12 years of which have been spent at the Sun, I have had the privilege to cover the Royal Family and have also risked my own life reporting on the work of our brave servicemen and women on the front line in Afghanistan.
"I hope to demonstrate that I am a responsible journalist who reported in the public interest.
"As a royal reporter I worked harder than any other at the Palace putting in place and ensuring the application of a series of criteria that had to be satisfied before a story would appear in my paper.
"For the past year I have had to remain silent but my aim now is to fight these allegations with every breath in my body in the hope that justice and common sense will prevail."
Sun executive editor Fergus Shanahan also appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court today, having been separately charged with the same offence.
The public gallery was packed with Sun journalists and other supporters of Larcombe and Shanahan during the short hearings, including former News of the World deputy editor Neil Wallis,
Larcombe is alleged to have paid more than £23,000 to John Hardy, 43, who served as a Colour Sergeant at the Royal Military Training Academy at Sandhurst, and his 39-year-old wife, Claire Hardy, for stories relating mainly to the Royal Family or matters at Sandhurst.
Mr and Mrs Hardy, of Millbrook Close, Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, appeared alongside Larcombe in the dock.
All three are jointly charged with conspiracy to commit misconduct in a public office between February 9 2006 and October 16 2008.
Shanahan, 58, from Felsted, Essex, is separately charged with conspiring with a public official and a journalist to commit misconduct in a public office. He is accused of authorising a journalist to make payments to a public official.
A fourth person, Tracey Bell, 34, also appeared in court separately charged with misconduct in a public office.
Bell, of Co-Operative Street, Goldthorpe, South Yorkshire, was employed by the Ministry of Defence as a pharmacy assistant at Sandhurst Medical Centre.
All the charges have come as a result of investigations under Operation Elveden.
The defendants only spoke to confirm their personal details during the short hearings.
All were released on unconditional bail to appear at Southwark Crown Court on June 3.

Phil Robertson Weighs in on Transgender Bathroom Issue
Phil Robertson Weighs in on Transgender Bathroom Issue, and I guess we're not really surprised at how he feels on it.
Phil Robertson Weighs in on Transgender Bathroom Issue, and I guess we're not really surprised at how he feels on it.
Phil Robertson of "Duck Dynasty" is no stranger to politics. He's not shy when it comes to expressing his believes in religion either. So, when you put the two together, his endorsement of Ted Cruz isn't really a shocker.
The Independence Bowl in Shreveport, Louisiana will have a new name beginning in 2014. The Robertson family of Duck Dynasty fame have acquired the naming rights.
Bet you didn't even know "Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson had thrown his hat in for the Louisiana Senate Race did ya?
Ronnie McDowell, the man who gave us such Country Music hits as "In A New York Minute" and "Older Women" has decided to show his support for the "Duck Dynasty" patriarch Phil Robertson. He's written a song for Phil called "Let's Hear It For The Duck Man".
Hunter Hayes has earned yet another honor. This time, it comes from a New Orleans magazine.
Hunter has been named on of the Louisianians of the Year by Louisiana Life...
A video of Phil Robertson from 2009 has surfaced and it will no doubt stir up more controversy.
In the video, which he's preaching to a Christian congregation in Georgia, Phil suggests that guys should marry girls as young as 15 and 16 years old.
After suspending him earlier this month, A&E says they will now resume filming the hit TV show this spring with Phil Robertson and the entire Robertson family.
At church on Sunday, Phil Robertson spoke in response to his recent anti-gay comments he made in an interview with GQ Magazine. Simply put, he said, "I'm not a hater."
In the wake of the firestorm of controversy regarding Phil Robertson's controversial statements in GQ Magazine, the Robertson family has just released an official statement on the situation through their website duckcommander.com

Mom's Legacy
Note: I have Gary's permission to tell this story.
In 1992, my second year in grad school, Mom had a stroke. After she got out of the hospital, my sister, uncle, cousins and I descended on her apartment. Gary, whom I'd then been dating for three years, came too, to try to support all of us.
It was a very small apartment with entirely too many people in it. The calmest person in the place was my mother, lying comfortably in bed. The rest of us were basket cases.
When it came time for me to leave, I stood at my mother's bedside and burst into tears. Gary, waiting in the doorway, watched me.
"Gary?" my mother said, gently. "Susan's crying."
"Yeah," Gary said, matter-of-fact. "She does that sometimes." (Everyone who hears the story falls over laughing at this line. What can I say? Gary's a guy. He likes to be able to fix things. He can't fix my being sad.)
"Gary?" my mother said, even more gently. "Give Susan a hug." So he did: a very good hug, too.
This has become one of our favorite family stories, and whenever I'm upset about something now, I say, "Gary? Give Susan a hug."
The other night I had a wave of sadness about Mom right after I went to bed. I always turn in earlier than Gary does. I lay in bed, sniffling, while he worked on the computer in his study. After a few minutes, I heard the bedroom door open, and thought maybe he'd come in for a different pair of glasses. But instead I felt his hand on my shoulder, and when I opened my eyes and looked up at him, he said, "When you're crying, I'm supposed to give you a hug."
Mom lives on.

As a member of the Madison Area YMCA, I would like to applaud the Madison Area YMCA for its leadership in acquiring an automated external defibrillator and having personnel trained and ready to use the device. Like other members, I may have taken the defibrillator for granted until a visit to use the Summit YMCA facilities a few weeks ago. While working out at the Summit YMCA I overheard two members of the Summit Y MCA mention that efforts to purchase and install a defibrillator have gone on for more than a year with no success. I mentioned to them that the Madison Area YM CA installed a defibrillator well over six months ago, and how important it is f or health clubs, gyms and similar facilities to have defibrillators. If you've been observing stories in the media, you've seen that the American Heart Association says that health clubs and fitness centers are among the most likely public places for an occurrence of sudden cardiac arrest. The American Heart Association says that sudden cardiac arrest claims at least 220,000 lives annually and that most victims do not survive after 10 minutes. Most cardiac arrest victims experience a deadly heart arrhythmia, and to have a real chance at survival the victim's heart must be defibrillated, or shocked, within the first five minutes after cardiac arrest.
Furthermore, in a study released at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions in November 2000, it was reported that gyms and health clubs in general are not often well prepared for cardiac emergencies. Nearly 17 percent of the clubs in the study reported at least one sudden cardiac arrest death or heart attack at their facilities during the prior five years.
Two New Jersey legislators, Assemblymen Robert J. Smith and Herbert C. Conaway, have introduced legislation that would require health clubs and fitness centers to have defibrillators, so somewhere down the road the issue may be moot. Under that proposed law, New Jersey health clubs, gyms and fitness centers may be required to have at least one defibrillator and staff trained to use the device. But if you care about the safety, security and health of your members and staff, why wait?
Congratulations and thank-you to the Madison Area YMCA for having a defibrillator.

Commerce: Tempestuous trade winds
In February, the EU's two most senior officials arrived at a Beijing summit with an expensive favour from their host in mind: tens of billions of euros to help douse the flames of the continent's debt crisis.
But even as José Manuel Barroso and Herman Van Rompuy, the respective presidents of the European Commission and the European Council, were trying to charm Chinese premier, Wen Jiabao, bureaucrats back in Brussels were plotting something completely different. They were gathering evidence for an unprecedented trade case that some observers believe could dramatically escalate tensions with China.
Click to enlarge
It centres on allegations that Beijing illegally subsidised its fast-growing telecommunications equipment companies, including Huawei Technologies and ZTE, helping them grow at lightning speed to snatch business from western rivals such as Nokia and Alcatel.
The case is a departure from the EU's focus on low-end goods such as textiles and ceramics, and targets conspicuous high-tech businesses. If it were to go forward, it would also mark the first time the EU has opened a trade investigation on its own initiative, and not at the behest of a European company. The Chinese, says Jonathan Holslag of the Brussels Institute of Contemporary China Studies, would "view this as a declaration of war".
Brussels' conflicting impulses illustrate the growing conundrum posed by China for crisis-hit Europe. On the one hand, the EU has been forced to go cap in hand to Beijing to help with its debt crisis.
At the same time, European manufacturers – and some politicians – are increasingly demanding that China be confronted over trade practices they believe are contributing to the bloc's double-digit unemployment rate and putting entire industries at risk.
"The economic crisis is making a lot of member states concerned about protecting their remaining industries and that is making China look more like a competitor to them than an economic partner," Mr Holslag says.
That change in perception is underscored by the EU's trade deficit with China, which more than tripled to €168bn between 2000 and 2010. European companies have also become increasingly alarmed as Chinese rivals bite into higher-value industries.
"We are facing several issues with China, and we are not giving strong enough answers," says Daniel Caspary, a German member of the European parliament's trade committee, which has gained new authority over EU trade policy. "We missed lots of opportunities during the last 20 or 25 years when China was opening to set up red lines, and now it's becoming more difficult every day."
There are signs Brussels has begun to heed that call. In recent months, Karel De Gucht, the EU's blunt-speaking trade commissioner, has confronted China at the World Trade Organisation, accusing it of hoarding the rare earth minerals that are vital for making smartphones and other high-tech goods.
EU-China disputes: The complexity of complaining
After months of behind-the-scenes lobbying, SolarWorld, the German manufacturer of solar panels, says the European solar industry is now backing a trade complaint it is determined to launch against its Chinese competitors.
SolarWorld has already prevailed in the US with a similar complaint that accused the Chinese of benefiting from illegal government subsidies to undercut domestic manufacturers and gobble up the market.
But support for SolarWorld is hardly universal. The legion of smaller companies that install panels on rooftops and buildings are balking, worried that the imposition of tariffs by the EU would only push up the cost of their products and hurt business. Companies that supply equipment to Chinese companies that manufacture the panels are also concerned.
Together they have formed the Alliance for Affordable Solar Energy, a coalition that has managed to delay – if not derail – SolarWorld's plans.
The industry's divisions are a reminder of the complexities of mounting trade complaints in a globalised age in which supply chains are flung around the world.
While SolarWorld points to a recent rash of bankruptcies among fellow European manufacturers undercut on pricing by the Chinese, such as Germany's Q-Cells, Afase has argued that its constituents account for the majority of the European solar industry's 300,000 jobs.
Adding to the complexity for EU policy makers are the bloc's environmental goals. The EU has made a commitment to derive at least 20 per cent of its electricity from renewable sources of energy, such as wind and solar power, by 2020 – a goal that might prove easier to achieve with cheap imports.
Milan Nitzschke, a SolarWorld vice-president, warns that European consumers will pay a higher price in the long run if the Chinese take over the market and then push up prices. "It's a threat to the complete European industry," he says. "It is only beginning with solar energy. The rest of the renewable energy industry will be next."
The commissioner has also accused China of illegally subsidising businesses and has proposed new legislation that would allow retaliation against governments that do not open their public procurement to European companies. A case against China's manufacturers of solar panels appears imminent.
"What we are seeing is much tougher rhetoric and a much greater desire from some European industries to take action," acknowledges one EU official. "In most cases, China is their most dangerous competitor."
Chinese companies, such as Huawei and ZTE, deny accusations they are breaking trade rules, saying they are simply more agile than competitors. They argue the disputed subsidies are akin to the ones the EU lavishes on its own companies.
The timing of the dispute has proved awkward. While Mr De Gucht was gathering evidence, the EU was seeking to dispatch a technical team to Beijing with a portfolio of government bonds the Chinese might consider purchasing, according to Chinese officials.
The EU has also sought to enlist China in a campaign to increase the International Monetary Fund's capital base by €700bn, which would give it more firepower to battle the crisis. Those tasks have become more urgent as the crisis has flared anew, leading to fears that the brush fires in Greece could spread to Spain and Italy.
Looming over the negotiations – even when it was not explicitly mentioned – has been China's persistent pursuit of an EU trade concession it has long coveted: market-economy status. Such a designation would make it far more difficult for European companies to lodge successful complaints against Chinese rivals.
Under the terms of its WTO accession agreement, China is expected to receive market-economy status automatically in 2016. Still, even if only for symbolic reasons, the wait has rankled in Beijing and some EU officials late last year believed they might secure financial support as a quid pro quo for granting the concession early.
But both sides have since cooled on the idea. In spite of Mr Wen's occasional public pronouncements, Japan – not China – has emerged as a far bigger buyer of European government bonds, according to several EU officials. Japan has also come through with a $60bn pledge to the IMF.
Chinese officials were apparently fearful of the public outrage if they were seen using hard-won savings to prop up the wealthy nations of Europe. As Wu Hailong, the new Chinese ambassador to Brussels, told reporters in March: "Many of the richest countries [in the world] are in Europe. So in the end, I think Europe has the resources to properly resolve the debt crisis."
For Europeans, the allure of a quick rescue has run into the political reality of having to secure approval from member states and the European parliament. "It would be political suicide," says one diplomat. "Who could be seen selling a policy for a pile of money?"
Beneath the politics, EU-China trade remains robust. It is set to surpass €500bn this year – a record high – with the bloc now ranking as China's largest trading partner. That, in itself, provides a rationale for the two sides to repair any holes in the relationship, according to Fredrik Erixon of the European Centre for International Political Economy, a Brussels think-tank.
But Mr Erixon also points to a host of daily frustrations on both sides. "Co-operation on trade and investment is fraught with misunderstanding, offended egos, discontent and anger," he says. "In some quarters, frustration is reaching boiling point."
Further straining the relationship has been the EU's controversial policy of forcing all airlines to pay for greenhouse gas emissions on flights to and from Europe. The US, Russia and India have all objected to what they consider an extraterritorial tax grab. But China has gone further by ordering its carriers not to comply and threatening to cancel more than $14bn in aircraft orders from Airbus, the European aerospace company.
Such hostility is a far cry from the optimism that prevailed when Britain's Peter Mandelson served as EU trade commissioner from 2004 to 2008 – the prosperous years before the debt crisis.
Under Mr Mandelson, Brussels and Beijing waged a notable war over textiles that threatened to deprive millions of European women of bras. Yet the EU operated under the assumption in those years that China would gradually reciprocate its own liberalisation.
Instead, European executives bemoan continuing restrictions. One particular source of irritation is the requirement that makers of wind turbines and other innovative products transfer valuable technology to local joint-venture partners. Companies that were once seen as pioneers in promising industries, such as Denmark's Vestas, had to cut European jobs because of Chinese competition.
At the same time, Chinese companies have begun to draw attention by purchasing small and medium-sized German companies whose talents and technologies may help their new owners move into more specialised manufacturing. Recent targets include construction group Putzmeister Holding and auto-parts company Kiekert.
"In the long term, China's influence in Europe will not be from any help they gave in the eurozone crisis. It's going to come from buying companies here with world-class technology," a western diplomat says.
Mr De Gucht is credited with opening Belgium's trade policies when he served as the country's foreign minister. But he has taken a colder view of China in his current post. "He's a free-trader at heart, but he feels cheated by the Chinese," explains Mr Holslag.
Under Mr De Gucht, the EU has imposed its first anti-subsidy duties against China for supplying below-market loans and property to a big producer of glossy paper. In practice, the penalties for subsidy cases are no more onerous than those for the far more prevalent and easier to prove offence of dumping.
But by targeting state subsidies – the economic arrangement at the centre of almost all state-owned or controlled Chinese companies – Mr De Gucht is going after the heart of the Chinese system that has boosted the country's exporters. One De Gucht aide last year likened the paper case to "launching a torpedo against the mother ship".
So far the torpedo has proved a damp squib, with observers arguing that Europe has not gained any leverage to press its demands.
Working against Mr De Gucht is the EU's unwieldy nature. Its 27 leaders demand tough action on China during private meetings in Brussels but tend to embrace Beijing on state visits, appealing for big contracts and investments, diplomats say.
To Brussels' irritation, Beijing has encouraged this by routinely circumventing the commission to deal directly with national capitals.
Europe's corporate sector has also been fickle. Companies have besieged Mr De Gucht with complaints about their treatment in China but almost never go public – let alone put their name to formal complaints – for fear of being locked out of China's market.
Mr De Gucht has seized on the notion of a case initiated by Brussels as a way to shield companies.
But the EU's defence comes when Europe's standing in the world has been brought low by its inability to get its own fiscal house in order. Chinese officials do not seem to be trembling.
"The problem more or less rests with Europe itself," responds a Chinese diplomat. "I don't think it's fair to look at China as a scapegoat."

The Michael Landon Children's Cancer Fund Featured Charity for 2011 Country Music Awards Gift Bags
Susan McCray Raises Awareness for Cancer in Honor of Longtime Colleague and Friend, Michael Landon
McCray says, "Michael Landon loved kids. He wanted every youngster to have the chance to live a healthy, happy and productive life, and he used his many talents, both on and off the screen, to help further that goal. We are thrilled that Hollywood Baskets has chosen to highlight the charity at this year's CMAs. In light of Steve Jobs' recent passing from pancreatic cancer, it is a time that has us all remembering Michael's untimely passing."
After Michael's death from pancreatic cancer in 1991, those closest to him decided to honor his memory by continuing his commitment to the welfare of children. Along with the The Michael Landon Celebrity Tennis Tournament committee, long time close friends and colleagues, Kent and Susan McCray, and The Landon Family helped establish the Michael Landon Children's Cancer Fund. The work that the Landon Fund supports is important: It is aimed at eliminating cancer as the leading cause of death from disease among children between the ages of one and 14.
From donations it receives, the Landon Fund provides seed grants for new pediatric oncology research at two University of Arizona centers of excellence-the Arizona Cancer Center and the Steele Memorial Children's Research Center. Seed grants are the impetuses that later bring larger grants from other sources to fund cancer research. Such grants have led to demonstrable breakthroughs in research that now permit a better quality of life for cancer patients.
Since its inception in 1992, the Landon Fund has supported basic science cancer research that demonstrates strong promise to impact the lives of pediatric cancer patients.
A portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Nightfall by Susan McCray™ Special Holiday Gift Set, available through January 6, 2012, will also be going towards the Michael Landon Children's Cancer Fund. The Gift Set includes the 2 oz. Eau de Parfum with the .05 Purse Atomizer. It is offered at a special price of $73.50 (normally $85.00) and is only offered on the perfume's site: www.nightfallbysusanmccray.com.
For anyone wanting to make a donation to this amazing charity. Hollywood Baskets will also be auctioning one of these amazing CMA gift bags. Proceeds will benefit the Michael Landon Charity. Please contact 1-800-379-8219 for bidding information. Gift Bags assembled and provided by www.hollywoodbaskets.com
Hollywood Baskets has also donated an identical gift bag valued at $3000.00 to the fund to be auctioned off at www.charitybuzz.com
For more information or to make a donation to the Michael Landon Children's Cancer Fund, call 1-520-626-2280 or mail Paola Werstler, Arizona Cancer Center, P.O. Box 245013, Tucson, Arizona 85724.
About Susan McCray
Susan McCray has made her childhood dream of launching her own fragrance line come true with the Eau de Parfum, Nightfall by Susan McCray™. She was Michael Landon's trusted "starmaker" as the casting director for all of his iconic television shows, discovering such talents as Melissa Gilbert Shannen Doherty, Paul Walker and Jason Bateman. Landon, a close friend, was Best Man in her wedding (to film and television producer Kent McCray). Their careers and personal lives were deeply intertwined at a time when Landon's shows were playing a large role in shaping American culture. She credits Landon's celebrated business practices as influential to her approach and success as an entrepreneur. Susan McCray's many talents include: long-time Hollywood casting director, a tv producer, record producer, children's author, radio host, and even a gourmet shop owner—the Malibu institution, Malibu Nutcorn. This venture as fragrance designer is one that started in her childhood. At eight years of age, McCray began blending scents with her late mother Francesca Paley, an accomplished musician, artist and designer. Susan McCray named her fragrance after a composition written by her father, Academy Award winning composer Harry Sukman. McCray has authored a children's book, "Harry's Piano," produced a CD, "Warm Heart…Cool Hands" and hosts and produces two successful internet radio programs: "Getting To Know You," celebrating its sixth year, and "Orchestra Hall," both heard on KSAV.org.

Lito was an inhabitant of Meridian. He was the descendant of an expedition which became stranded on the planet a millennia ago.
When the crew of the USS Defiant visited the planet in 2371 Lito was playing a ballgame called vajhaq with some other Meridian children. He asked Commander Benjamin Sisko if he wanted to join them in the game, but Sisko declined.
He was, like all other Meridians, both a corporeal and a non-corporeal being. The planet Meridian shifted between our universe and a universe of pure energy. Lito and the rest of the inhabitants appeared for only twelve days in corporeal form and spent sixty years in non-corporeal form. With the help of Dax, the period of time was extended to thirty years starting with their next shift. (DS9: "Meridian")
