I give Joe my whole-hearted endorsement and will gladly serve as a reference."Kathy Whisenhunt said:
"I live in Texas and I needed a lawyer in Arizona to handle my case. I retained Mr. Volin after finding his name in the phone book. I was very skeptical hiring someone who I did not know, but after speaking with him on the phone, I found him to be very professional but personal. He cared about the problems I was having. The outcome of my case was much better than I expected, thanks to Mr. Volin. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needed a good lawyer."Dawn R. VanderMeersch said:
"When I was looking for an attorney in Arizona, Joe Volin was highly recommended to me by a judge and another attorney. Joe did not disappoint me. He was very thorough in everything and explained things in such a way to be sure I completely understood. Joe Volin really makes a person feel that there are lawyers who can be trusted, which is a feeling I had not had for many years. My only regret is that with my moving to Illinois, Joe is too far way to still be my attorney. I have yet to find a lawyer back here that I can have the confidence in like I did with Joe Volin. I highly recommend him to everyone."Paul and Jan Stevens said:
"Joe has been our attorney for seven years and during that time we have become friends. It is rare to find someone of Joe's caliber and professionalism in this day and age. His down-to-earth attitude and communication skills have resulted in great trust. I refer Joe to all my family, friends and clients without hesitation because he gives great service to everyone."Mel Marecic said:
"Joe has shattered my negative opinion about the legal profession. My case was settled with no hang-ups whatsoever, I never had to lift a finger. Joe did all the work. Joe's best attributes are his honesty, sincerity and most definitely his thoroughness. I now have a lawyer I can trust and strongly recommend to anyone."

One week ago, Starbucks opened its doors in the central train station of Antwerp. It's the second Starbucks in Belgium, after the one at the main departure hall in Brussels Airport. Its opening was accompanied by lots of publicity and media attention. It was covered in almost all Belgian newspapers, the MNM radio station dedicated a whole program to it, celebrities and bands were asked to make the obligatory performances, etc… It was a BIG news item, as if Belgium had been waiting for this moment for ages, as if only from this point on Belgians could start enjoying good coffee…
Needless to say that we as Caffènation baristas felt the need to go check this out. Earlier on this week, my fellow heavy metal cuppers Bert, Roeland and Jeff went on expedition. I don't think they were in for a completely honest objective review, but however did wait an awful long time only to come back with burned tongues.
I wanted to give them some more credit, trying to enter as a regular customer, without being biased too much; trying to be as objective as I could. I travel from Ghent to Antwerp by train, hence passing by Starbucks almost every day. But the waiting line there was always so big while I was always in a hurry. Tuesday I had ten minutes left before my train was leaving. The queue was pretty big with at least 15people in front of me, and I thought I'd never make it.
Surprisingly, I did! I must admit I was happily surprised with how fast the staff was handling it. One person was taking orders from the people in line, handling each of them a piece of paper while at the same time yelling out the orders to the baristas at the other side of the bar. This was a nice way to save time at the cashier, where the customers handed over their piece of paper, paid and in return got their sweets/sandwiches and a ticket for the drink. On a downside, the constant yelling by one staff member ("tall caramel frappuccino to go") echoed by the barista or barista assistant ("understood, one tall caramel frappuccino to go"), was annoying me big time. The back and forth order yell made me feel like watching a ping pong game from way too close, it made me nervous and anxious to get my drink as fast as I could and get the hell out of there. Talking about killing a chill and relax atmosphere that should accompany a nice cup of coffee, this is certainly an efficient way of doing so. Second problem was that the baristas couldn't handle the fast income of orders; so they had to ask every customer: "sorry, what did you order?" I don't mind repeating my order, but then why the hell do all the yelling in the first place.
However, these are all routine issues, and considering that the staff has only been working there for about a week, they did a pretty good job. Bottomline is: I got my drink within ten minutes from ordering it.
More importantly now: the taste of my order! I got a 'tall cappuccino and a blueberry muffin to go'. Because I had to run for my train, the first sip I took was when I was seated, so a couple of minutes after the drink was made… and I almost burned my tongue (I was very careful, as I saw them make my drink). I know these cups are designed to isolate warmth but one should basically never burn their tongue when sipping a cappuccino or latte or any milkbased drink for that matter, no matter how tall it is. So, I took off the lid and let it cool down for a while. I immediately saw the bubbles in the foam, and the smell of burned milk… The barista who made my drink first aerated the milk an awful lot, then to put the pitcher on the tray leaving it to steam further… way too f'n' long! What I don't get, because they are using huge thermometers in their pitchers. It seemed to me that they are just using them for the 'stretching' fase of milk steaming, when air is carefully pulled into the milk; but don't mind about the 'whirlpooling' fase, when milk is rotated so it gets a nice silky even texture of microfoam. At both stages, temperature control is of utmost importance!
Furthermore, I also didn't get a nice balance between the milk and coffee taste. Even when it had cooled down, I only had a flavored, kind of bitter and even slightly caramel milk taste. A little bit like burned sugar. Do they use extra sweetened milk? Where was the coffee taste? I'd like to go back to taste their espresso, and see if I can recall any of that taste in the capp I got.
The blueberry muffin I got was ok. While it did have some 'berry chewing-gum' chemical taste, it was light and fluffy; as a muffin should be.
In total I paid 5,90euros for this: 3,90 for the cappuccino and 2 for the muffin. Im ok with the muffin price; but 3,90 for the smallest capp you can get is really too high a price for me. If it were to have extraordinary coffee inside, or perfectly textured milk; it would ease the pain on my wallet weight loss and might justify the buy.
It sells fairtrade coffee, fair enough, but Starbucks is going to have to change a lot in order for me to have them as a regular. For now, every day when I take my train, I'll be going in a wide circle around the queue to get my Dorica (double ristretto capp) at Caffènation.

New York City: A Three Day Itinerary
There are SO many things to do in New York, the concrete jungle, the city that never sleeps, that even IF you were there for a few weeks you are still going to find new things to do or see. The list is endless. However there are a few that you do NOT want to miss out on!
3 day itinerary
So you have made it! You're in New York and you don't know where to start. Well first off congratulations, you are in the same situation as everyone. So much to do with so little time. Follow this itinerary (I have literally just done it so I know it works!) – you can do it in any 'day' order so don't worry if baseball isn't on your day 1 etc.
Day 1: start your day by finding food. If you are going to eat out I would research beforehand because depending where you are staying food may not be just round the corner, and you don't want to be walking around h'angry with no idea when the next cafe is going to be. We made this mistake and walked a while until we found a Starbucks!
We spent our first morning exploring Central Park, by the time we had got out of the apartment and had brunch it was about 11.30am and the baseball game started at 1am so we only had a limited amount of time. We ended our time there by walked over to The Met and sat on the steps (pretending we were Blair and Serena, xoxo gossip girl). The subway to get to the baseball was literally down the block opposite so we were in prime position to hope right on.
**Ok for this next part I would recommend prebooking**
Depending what time of the year you're coming to New York it will either be baseball or basketball season. Book in to see one of their games. We booked to see The Yankees vs Minnesota Twins and our tickets cost about $11 when we prebooked. We were right at the top of the stadium and we had a fantastic view and the atmosphere was great (considering it was 1.00pm on a Wednesday the stadium was still quite full)!
A baseball game can go on for quite a while, we ended up leaving on the 7th innings (about 5 o'clock) so don't feel like you need to stay for the whole game if you think you're slacking.
In the evening go out for a meal, perhaps treat yourself to a cocktail or two (so many places have happy hour running) and then get yourself an early night so you're ready for an early start tomorrow.
Day 2: get out as early as possible.
First off you are going to head to The Rockefeller Plaza *you can do the Empire State Building but having done both I think the views from the top of the rock are far better, and you get to see the Empire State from there.* The earlier you get there the smaller the queues and waiting time, believe me you'll be thanking me later, especially if you are visiting at peak time of the year. If you have a waiting time step outside and visit St Patrick's Cathedral, I didn't go in but it's definitely worth seeing from the outside.
After checking out the awesome views from both sides of The Rock you are going to head up to Times Square. I would stroll down 5th ave so you can check out the shops, maybe treat yourself to ONE thing! On your way to Times Square you will be going past Grand Central Station do yourself a favour, go in and pretend you're either Serena or Dan.
If you need a recommendation for somewhere to eat I would SERIOUSLY try out 'The Counter' it's just off broadway on 41stW and it does the most incredible burgers. They had gluten free and vegan options so it really suits everyone. There is a checklist and you can add as many toppings as you want, I ticked SO much I ended up sliding most of it off and eating them as a side!
From Times Square you can wander up to Central Park, we walked around but I have heard that getting a bike is a great way to explore. I loved seeing the friends fountain, finding a spot with a good view and just sitting and taking it all in! If you have time find the boathouse and hire a boat for half an hour. Be aware it is hard work, especially in the heat but it is so worth it.
Be aware it might not sound like a lot but you are seeing and walking a LOT! You are going to be absolutely knackered. We didn't end up going out for tea because we were so full from the burger still so we bought snacks went back to the apartment we were staying in and did some research for day 3. We booked our tickets to watch 'School of Rock' on broadway (literally for the next day) and it cost about $59 + tax each I would leave it till last minute to book again!
Day 3: Today you're going to be seeing the sights downtown. Get on the subway to Brooklyn and get off at High Street A-C. You literally come out at the path heading towards Brooklyn bridge. Take your time walking over it, take in all the views, remember to walk in the left to avoid bikers going mad at you! Once you have walked over the bridge make your way to Ground Zero. We didn't go in the museum, there was a very big queue but if you have time go for it!
Wall Street is just around corner from Ground Zero and while there isn't anything to do, apart from taking pictures of course, it's definitely a place to tick it off the list.
If you struggle with food like me go to Fresh&co for lunch. This place is insane. There are sandwiches, panini's (although these are not GF or Vegan) and soups but what I liked best was the salads. There are lots of different types you can get; there are additioal extras; you choose a dressing of your choice and then they toss it all together in front of you. You can eat in but I recommend taking it out, walking down to Battery Park, sitting on the waterfront and eating there.
After lunch head down to South Ferry, Staten Island Ferry. This is a free Ferry that runs every half hour to and from Staten Island. Instead of paying extortionate prices to get slightly closer to the Statue of Liberty go on this ferry and it takes you right past it and you also have a view of the Manhattan skyline. You will then have half an hour to kill on Staten Island (unless you manage to catch the same ferry back) so you can either relax in the ferry waiting lounge *it has free wifi* or you can go outside and have a short wander around.
Once you are back in Manhattan head home and get yourself ready for an evening in the theatre. Try and leave yourself a good amount of time to eat somewhere beforehand, if you are eating in Times Square or close surroundings leave extra time or prebook so you can go and sit straight at the table. If not you may find your stomach rumbling during the show as you didn't have time to have a proper sit down meal. Are you are struggling to decide what show to watch? We saw 'School of Rock' and it was amazing – the kids are so talented and it is a feel good watch that you just can't go wrong with it!
And there you have it. A 3 day itinerary to New York City. Hopefully you will enjoy your time there as much as we have – I'm already looking forward to the next time I get to go! If you have any other sightseeings you think are a 'need to see' in New York I would love to hear them! Don't forget to comment below!

Azlan Shah Standings:
India beat Malaysia 4-1
By Sundeep Misra
Saturday, Feb 26 2000 Kuala Lumpur
India came into form, a little too late in the tournament when they thrashed hosts Malaysia 4-1 to finish with the bronze medal at the Sultan Azlan Shah hockey tournament at the Bukit Jalil stadium. Though it was Malaysia who went into the lead in the third minute by a penalty corner goal from Kuhan, India fought back with goals from Baljit Singh Dhillon (2), Dhanraj Pillay and Dilip Tirkey. Both India and Malaysia were playing without senior players Nor Saiful and Mukesh Kumar, both of whom were injured. The shocker came in the third minute when Malaysia earned their first penalty corner. Kuhan's shot was on target as it went into goal deflected off Dhanraj Pillay's stick.
The Indians slowly regrouped as Baljit Singh Dhillon again started moving the ball upfront by falling back into the midfield. In the 6th minute, Dhanraj had the ball in the Malaysian circle but Kuhan brought him down. The resultant stroke was converted by Baljit Dhillon for India's equaliser.
The Indians were now pushing as Riaz also started switching positions with the centre-half Thirumalvalvan. One of Riaz's passes through the middle found Pillay on top of the Malysian circle. Dodging past one defender, Pillay used his reverse hit to deadly effect as the ball zoomed into goal beating goalkeeper Mohammed Nasihin.
In the 23rd minute, Malaysia earned their second penalty corner but Kuhan's shot was deflected over the goal by Pillay who was rushing out to defend. At the break, India led 2-1.
India picked up momentum in the second half after Sukhbir Singh Gill was brought in for Mohammed Riaz and the moves started with full flow.
Baljit Saini had to leave the ground for treatment as the stick hit him on the finger. He came back into the match ten minutes later with a bandage on the finger.
It was a Dhanraj Pillay attack that saw India earn it's first penalty corner in the 42nd minute. But Dilip Tirkey's hit went out. Three minutes later, a move that began with Sukhbir Gill passing to Thirumal saw Pillay taking the ball and then passing it back to Thirumal in the circle who shot straight to the goalkeeper. Yet another penalty corner was wasted in the 47th minute, India's second, but they finally managed to increase the lead off the fourth penalty corner in the 54th minute. Dilip Tirkey's direct hit flew into goal off a Malaysian defenders stick. India led 3-1.
It was then that the game was stopped as a thunder-shower hit the stadium in full ferocity.
After an hour and twenty minutes, the match began again and India were in full flow as they virtually cut the Malaysian defence to ribbons.
Pillay and Dhillon moved into the Malaysian half at will and the player who excelled with his through passes was Baljit Singh Saini. The turf was still water-logged in sections but both the teams battled on courageously.
Dhanraj Pillay had a brilliant chance in the 62nd minute when he latched onto a through pass from Dhillon and was face-to-face with the goalkeeper Mohammed Nasihin. But Nasihin stopped Pillat by charging out. Pillay still managed to hold onto the ball and passed to Setnhil who faced with an empty goal shot out.
In the 67th minute, Baljit Dhillon went into the Malaysian half and after beating a defender, made space and his first timer from the top of the circle beat the goalkeeper Nasihin for India to take a 4-1 lead.
With 56 seconds to go, India earned their fifth penalty corner but Tirkey's shot even though it went in was ruled too high. India thus have finished third, the same position they had at the Asia Cup in November 1999.
India beat New Zealand 2-1
By Sundeep Misra
Thursday, Feb 24 2000 Kuala Lumpur
Asian Games Champions brought up their third win in the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup tournament beating New Zealand 2-1 to qualify for the third/fourth position match against hosts Malaysia.
India now have nine points, two ahead of European Champions Germany who will play New Zealand for 5/6th position. In the other matches of the day, Pakistan beat Canada 2-1 while Asia Cup Champions Korea beat hosts Malaysia 5-4.
India would have been up a goal in the first minute but Dhanraj Pillay's shot was blocked by the Kiwi goalkeeper Scott Anderson. Their first penalty corner came up in the third minute but Tirkey's shot was also blocked by Anderson.
India pushed hard through Riaz and with Dhillon also falling back to send through balls to Deepak Thakur and Pillay. New Zealand after taking the brunt of the Indian attacks decided to follow up with a couple of their own. Ryan Archibald after an indifferent start was now playing well as his first through ball to Umesh Parag produced New Zealand's first penalty corner that was wasted as the shot went out.
The second consecutive penalty corner in the next minute saw Jude Menezes padding up but the rebound was picked up by Umesh as he flicked in to give the lead to New Zealand.
Stunned by the Kiwi goal, India pulled out all the stops as Saini and Riaz virtually dominated the midfield sending some lovely through balls to the forwardline.
One of these moves resulted in India earning it's second penalty corner in the 26th minute. Dhillon passed it to Deepak Thakur who deflected it in for the equaliser as the Kiwis protested that the ball had touched Deepak's foot. Umpire Irfan Zaidi stopped the game and checked with the other Malaysian umpire Ravinderpal and then declared the goal. Two minutes later, Saini made a great move down the middle and gave the ball to Thakur in the circle. Thakur's shot was padded up by the Kiwi goalie but Pillay who had been following up picked up the rebound and slotted it home to give India the lead. At the break, India led 2-1.
The second half saw India defending as the Kiwis suddenly saw their opportunity. It was a surprising tactic by India as with a 2-1 lead, the Kiwis could have scored the equaliser. And that opportunity came in the 50th minute when Umesh Parag was stick-checked by Dilip Tirkey.
But the resultant stroke was shot over the goalpost by Creg Russ. New Zealand had wasted a superb chance of drawing level.
Even after Sameer Dad was introduced India refused to move into the attack mode. But the Kiwis attacked and twice again they came close to scoring as the Indian goal just about barely survived.
India played badly and won while New Zealand had a good game in the second half yet failed to find the equaliser.
Pakistan beat Canada 2-1
By Sundeep Misra
Thursday, Feb 24 2000 Kuala Lumpur
Reigning Champions Pakistan continued their unbeaten run in the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup beating Pan-American Champions Canada 2-1 in their last round-robin match. It was obvious that Pakistan were not going all out as the 2-1 win suggests.
But it was Canada who took the lead in the 25th minute when Seam Campbell scored after a melee in the Pakistan circle. Seeing the ball run free, Sean fired in a first-timer to give Canada the lead. Pakistan fought back but today Mumammad Sarwar was off-colour and not pushing hard enough. Still Pakistan managed the equaliser, a minute before the break, when Imran Yousuf banged in the penalty corner.
The reigning champions, however, clinched the match, with a 50th minute field goal by Muhammad Sarwar. Canada tried coming back into the game with a couple of fine moves but Pakistan goalkeeper Ahmed Alam foiled them with timely saves.
S Korea beat Malaysia 5-4
By Sundeep Misra
Thursday, Feb 24 2000 Kuala Lumpur
In the other match of the day, Asia Cup Champions were stretched fully by hosts Malaysia in a thrilling match that Korea finally won 5-4. The highlight of the Korean victory was a hat-trick by Yeo Woon Kon who scored in the 10th, 32nd and 68th minutes for Korea. The other goals for Korea came through Jeong Jong Ha who scored from a stroke in the 25th minute and Kang Keong Wook off a field goal. Korea had already clinched a place in the final before the match with Malaysia.
For Malaysia, Kuhan and Chairil scored two goals each. For a brief while in the 25th minute, Malaysia took the lead when Kuhan scored off two consecutive penalty corners in the 19th and 22nd minute. But Korea equalised three minutes from the break when Yee Woon Kon slotted in a field goal.
After Malaysia had equalised 3-3 with a Chairil Anwar goal in the 48th minute, Korea took the lead in the 51st minute when Kang Keon Wook scored.
But Chairil was again on target banging in a rebound in the 56th minute.
Korea with two minutes left in the match clinched the match-winner after picking up a rebound off the upright and tapping it past the Malaysian goalkeeper.
Korea, like Pakistan haven't lost a match in the tournament. They drew one game with Pakistan in the earlier pool matches. Korea will now play Pakistan in the final on Saturday.
Pakistan beat Germany 4-2
By Sundeep Misra
Thursday, Feb 23 2000 Kuala Lumpur
Reigning Champions Pakistan played their best game of the tournament thrashing European Champions Germany 4-2 in the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup here at the Bukit Jalil Stadium. The victory meant that Pakistan were into the final for the second year running.
Though it was Germany who opened the account in the 7th minute, Pakistan came back strongly and with Muhammad Sarwar absolutely brilliant today in the midfield. Upfront Atif Bashir, Muhammed Anis and Kamran Ashraf ran rings around the German defence.
For Germany, their control on the game was in only sporadic bursts. Oliver Domke didn't have much support from the midfield and thus was mostly hemmed in by three Pakistan defenders whenever he had the ball. Germany took the lead in the 7th minute when Florian Kunz flicked in past a diving Ahmed Alam in the Pakistan goal. Stunned by the early goal, Pakistan took their time in settling down and came back with the equaliser in the 15th minute when Kamran Ashraf scored off a field goal after working in the ball with Atif Bashir.
The lead for Pakistan came in the 29th minute when substitute Kashif Javaid tapped the ball past German goalkeeper after Sarwar had done all the hard work by going past three German defenders. At the break, Pakistan led 2-1.
It was off break that Germany got the equaliser. A Bechmann burst through the midfield saw him being stick-checked in the circle and the resultant penalty corner was banged in by Phillip Crone. But Pakistan pressed on as Sarwar and Atif Bashir opened up the German defence repeatedly. It was very clear that this German side wasn't as fit as their predecessors.
Two minutes after the German equaliser, Pakistan took the lead again for the second time in the match when off a penalty corner Imran Yousuf flicked high into the net, out of reach of the German goalkeeper Arnold.
The Germans were slackening in the midfield and with the Pakistani's on a roll, goals were only a matter of time. It came in the 59th minute when Atif Bashir and Anis moved into the circle.
Bashir had the ball on top of the circle and his first timer sped in past German goalkeeper Arnold.
With this victory Pakistan enter the final of the Azlan Shah Cup where they will now meet Korea. The South Koreans have a match against Malaysia and even if they lose to the hosts, they are still through to the final.
India will play their match against New Zealand and if they win they will play Malaysia for third/fourth position.

Asian Games Champions India beat hosts Malaysia 2-1 to be in the running for a third place finish here at the Bukit Jalil Stadium. In pouring rain, India were stretched to breaking point before finally running out winners by the close margin of 2-1.
Malaysia, however, were the ones who took the lead in the 11th minute when Suhaini scored.
India equalised through a Baljit Singh Dhillon flick and then took the lead through Deepak Thakur in the 32nd minute. With the rains coming down, the match was expected to be slow.But Malaysia were off to a flying start and they kept pushing the Indians back. The Indian midfield which faded away at the end of the match, however, were up to the task in the first half. Riaz sent a lovely through ball to Mukesh who gave it to an overlapping Dhillon. But the Indian forward slipped in the process and his shot hit the goalpost board from the outside.
After a couple of stirring runs from Mukesh, Malaysia appeared to settle down. Malaysian captain Saiful darted into the Indian circle and sent a superb ball for Suhaini who drew out Indian goalkeeper Prasad and then slotted the ball into the Indian goal. Against the run of play, Malaysia had taken the lead.
Baljit Singh Saini who had a good game in the first half almost scored in the 18th minute. Getting the ball on the halfway mark, Saini suddenly changed pace, rushed into the Malaysian half and gave it to Mukesh. The Indian outside-right went into the Malaysian circle and gave it back to Saini whose first timer was saved by Malaysian goalkeeper Izuhan Suhardi.
A minute later, another Indian attack earned them their first penalty corner and Baljit Singh Dhillon's flick went low to beat the Malaysian defence for the equaliser.
The Indian finishing had nothing to be admired at. In the 26th minute, Dhillon after beating two Malaysians gave a superb ball to Pillay who went in with Deepak Thakur and with the equation at 2:1, they still couldn't beat the goalkeeper.
Two minutes before the interval, India scored off a break. Deepak Thakur moved in tandem with Gagan Ajit Singh and after Gagan relayed the ball back to him in the circle, his reverse hit beat the Malysian goalkeeper for India to take the lead at 2-1. At the break, India led 2-1.
Malaysia piled on the pressure after the interval taking the fight to the Indian camp. They had two penalty corners in the 47th and 48th minutes. But their best chance came in the 50th minute when Malaysia were awarded a stroke but Indian goalkeeper smartly saved the flick from Kuhan.
Almost till the dying minutes, Malaysia attacked but the Indian defence today was brilliant with Dilip Tirkey and Dinesh Nayak playing their hearts out.
With the three minutes to go, India had a penalty corner but the umpire gave Malaysia a free hit after he found India wasting time in taking the penalty corner.
After this defeat, Malaysia have nine points and if they have to keep their chances of making the final alive, they will have to beat Korea in their next match.
India play New Zealand in their next game. In the other match of the day, New Zealand almost upset the European Champions Germany before the Germans fought back to draw the match.
The Kiwis were 2-0 up with goals by Brett Leaver in the 7th minute off a penalty corner and then Philip Burrows scoring a field goal.
Germany scored through Oliver Domke in the 50th minute and then levelled the scores in the 61st minute when Florian Kunz converted a penalty corner.

Asia Cup Champions South Korea have almost assured themselves of a final place in the 10th Sultan Azlan Shah Cup here at the Bukit Jalil stadium. In match that was held up for almost an hour because of heavy rain, the Koreans beat Pan-American Champions Canada 2-1.
It was a win that came after much hard work. Korea were quick to capitalise to Canada's sluggish start as they pumped in two goals in the first eight minutes. Kim Kyung Seok found himself in the Canadian circle with a pass from the midfield. A feint sent the defender the wrong way as his shot beat Canadian goalkeeper Mike Mahood to give Korea the lead in the fifth minute.
Three minutes later, in the 8th minute, Hwang Jong Hyun's shot from the left of the circle beat Mike who went the wrong way. Two goals in the first eight minutes and it seemed that Korea would open up the floodgates. But Canada fought all the way finally scoring off a penalty corner in the 24th minute when Peter Milkovich banged in a direct shot. At the break, Korea led 2-1. Then the rains came down as huge sheets of water fell flooding the turf.
After an hour the game restarted but Canada were hell bent on taking the fight to the Koreans.
The second half saw Canada work hard to equalise but the Koreans defended well. Rob Short, Rick Roberts did good work in the midfield but their passes were cut off by the Korean defenders. A couple of sharp chances in the circle were there for Canada but their finishing was just not up to the mark.
Korea now have 13 points and if they beat Malaysia they will clinch a place in the final.
Canada still have to record their first victory and they are last in the standings with one point.

Reigning Champions Pakistan ended hosts Malaysia's amazing winning streak in the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup defeating them 3-2 in an exciting encounter at the National Hockey Stadium in Bukit Jalil.
A capacity crowd of 15,000 cheered on the home team and kept it's confidence high even after Pakistan had taken a 2-0 lead. The Malaysians stormed back with two goals in a space of two minutes to draw level in the 60th minute.
But a penalty stroke three minutes later put paid to Malaysia's fightback and burst their three match unbeaten streak. The Pakistanis as expected used their speed during the counter attacks to good effect and they also had better control of the play.
The Malaysians still have a chance to make the finals although they fell to third place in the table. They take on India and will play the Koreans in their last preliminary round match. The Pakistanis are in second spot while the Koreans who defeated India top the table.
Pakistan's first goal came in the fifth minute when they earned their first penalty corner. Instead of the normal hit this time Imran Yousuf flicked the ball high past Nasihin. In the 13th minute the Pakistanis forays on the right paid off. This time Anis relayed a pass to Kamran Ashraf who on entering the D unleashed a shot at goal. The ball deflected off a Malaysian defenders stick and sailed to the top of the net giving Nasihin no chance at all.
With the 2-0 scoreline the Pakistanis were glad to hold back and used counter attacks to pressure the Malaysians. The second half exchanges was the same but the Malaysians were more in control and were tidier at back. They attacked more and the break came in the 58th minute when a counter attack allowed Chua Boon Huat to slam home from close range with the entire Pakistan defence beaten.
Two minutes later the Malaysians drew level. Earning their fifth penalty corner Kuhan sent a low flick that had Ahmed well beaten and a draw loomed as a possiblity. But Pakistan's Imran Yousaf didn't make any mistake with the stroke and ended Malaysia's winning streak.

The misses continued for India as they dominated, yet again, but lost to Asia Cup Champions Korea 1-2 in the Sultan Azlan Shah Hockey Tournament at the Bukit Jalil Stadium. With this defeat, India are certainly out of reckoning for a place in the Azlan Shah Cup final. It's remarkable but the Asian Games Champions, India, are probably the only team in the world lose a match after having three penalty corners and nine open chances in the opposition circle. Dhanraj Pillay was the main culprit as he had four open chances with only the Korean goalkeeper in front but everytime, he missed. Either he shot straight at the goalkeeper or shot out. To Korea's credit, it must be said that their goalkeeper Lim Jong Chun kept the Indians at bay.
Korean coach Sang Ryul was a relieved man. "I think we played well but we are lucky to get away with a win. The Indians did everything but score. It's good that they didn't score." When asked why the Koreans played defensively, Sang said,"If we had played an open game, we could have scored three-four goals but the Indians would have scored six-seven goals. We didn't give them the chance and defended. My defenders did a good job and we won."
Indian team manager Gurbux Singh was upset with the defeat and also with the umpiring. "I think the tournament officials should not try out umpires here. They make all kinds of mistakes and the teams have to suffer. The first Korean goal hit a Korean's foot and went into goal. It came against the run of play. Let the organisers see the video and if I am wrong then I am willing to apologise. But I think it's time that hockey too had neutral umpires."
India didn't start with Mukesh Kumar and Sukhbir Singh Gill but they still dominated. The Indians controlled the game and Mohammed Riaz after the long time had a good game. He kept the balls going for the forwards and one those balls set up sixth minute move. Riaz passed to Baljit Saini who have it to Pillay. The former Indian captain dodged past two defenders and gave it to Deeak Thakur whose reverse shot just missed the Korean post.
The Indians controlled the game entirely and earned their first penalty corner in the 18th minute but Dhillon's flick rebounded off the Korean goalkeeper. Pillay pounced on the rebound but even his shot was saved by the goalkeeper.
In the 20th minute, Mukesh came in for Senthil and the pace increased for India. Dhillon played a good game controlling the ball in the midfield and sending some breathtaking passes upfront. One of those passes found Pillay but the forward again bungled with the Korean goalkeeper to beat.
Korea scored in the 25th minute off a counter-attack which led to a penalty corner. Seung Hwan's flick went in off Jong Ha's foot but the umpire blew for goal. The Indians protested but the umpire waved them away.
Two minutes later, India earned their second penalty corner but Dhillon's flick went out after hitting a Korean stick. Pillay had another golden opportunity in the 31st minute when he was face to face with the Korean goalkeeper but in his haste to put the ball away, he fell on it. At the break, Korea led 1-0.
After the break, Korea tried to force the pace but the Indians after surrendering the advantage for around five minutes wrested it back as they controlled the play. A couple of chances in the Korean circle were wasted as Indian forwards bungled time and again. Korea's second goal also came against the run of play. In the 42nd minute, a Korean move led to a penalty corner. And Yeo Woon Kon scored with a superb flick. It was here that for around five minutes that the Indian spirits flagged. They started going back as the Koreans pressed forward. But Dhillon and Riaz wrested the initiative back. In the 51st minute, Pillay went into the Korean circle, thanks to a pass from Dhillon but when faced with the goalkeeper shot onto the pads.
Two minutes later, India earned their third penalty corner and this time the flick worked for Dhillon the ball flew low and fast to cut Korea's lead. India had finally scored. But Korea led 2-1. In the dying minutes, it was a mad rush. Korea defending and the Indians going all out. But the minutes ticked by as the Koreans played out the Indian forwards and won the match to almost surely cement a place in the final. Korea with three victories and a draw have ten points while India are still on three with three defeats and one victory.

European Champions Germany needed to sweat it out against Pan-American Champions Canada before squeezing through 3-2 in the Sultan Azlan Shah hockey tournament at the Bukit Jalil stadium. Oliver Domke was Germany's hero with two stunning goals. Germany now have six points from two matches. The European Champions have lost to Malaysia and Korea. Canada have one point from their draw with New Zealand.
Germany were the first to draw blood when captain Christoph Bechmann converted a penalty stroke in the 8th minute. It was the first stroke of the tournament.
The Canadians pressed hard with Peter Milkovich and Ken Perreira giving some good through balls to the forwards. The hard work showed results in the 18th minute when Bindi Kullar fired in the equaliser. The rest of the first half was quite patchy with the both the teams trying to control the game and the pace. At the break, both the teams were tied 1-1.
Canada seemed to eager to press forward in the second half but when presented with a open chance Andrew Griffiths was found wanting. His shot just going past the post.
Germany needed Oliver Domke's delicate skills to outwit the Canadians who were threatening the German goal. A through ball found Bechmann who after cutting into the Canadian half passed to Domke in the circle. Finding Mike in front, Domke went the wrong way but used his trademark reverse hit to good effect to beat the Canadian goalkeeper Mike. Germany now had the lead 2-1.
In the 43rd minute, a minute after Domke had scored, Bechmann was in the clear but this time Mike was ready as he padded away the shot.
Ken Perreira and Milkovich still didn't give up. They kept pressing from the midfield and in the 51st minute, one of their passes found Bindi Kullar in the circle who shot in to tie the scores again at 2-2. A minute later, Canada would have gone up but for Andrew Griffiths who missed a sitter with only the German goalkeeper in front.
The miss proved crucial as Germany struck through Oliver Domke yet again. Domke after latching onto the ball beautifully dribbled through and after drawing out Mike pushed the ball in for Germany to lead 3-2.
Canada tried to get back and had a chance of a penalty corner but they missed the shot.

Led by two brilliant goals by Dhanraj Pillay, Asian Games Champions India finally pulled off a win beating Pan-American Champions Canada 3-2 to keep alive their hopes of entering the final of the Sultan Azlan Shah hockey tournament. India, who had suffered two defeats at the hands of Germany and Pakistan needed to win against Canada to keep their morale high. India went on the backfoot immediately as Canada scored in the 6th minute when Rob Short beat RVS Prasad, who had been brought in for Jude Menezes. It was a rasping drive that beat the Indian goalkeeper. Prasad, didn't even offer his pads as the shot whizzed into the Indian goal. India went on the offensive immediately as Dhanraj Pillay sped into the circle and latched onto a pass from Riaz. The former Indian captain, cut across and then fired in for a superb goal and India's equaliser in the seventh minute.
Two consecutive efforts by Mohammed Riaz and Mukesh Kumar were superbly saved by the Canadian goalkeeper Mike Mahood. The Indian team, today, again collapsed in the midfield where Riaz was not his usual best and Baljit Singh Saini totally off colour. Saini, a reliable player has been surprisingly totally out of form. With two midfielders clearly out of touch, it was going to be difficult for the Indians to maintain their sway throughout the match. And that is what exactly happened. The Canadians wrested control of the midfield and pushed the Indians back on the defense. India, finally, took the lead off a classy move by Deepak Thakur who had been brought in for Mukesh Kumar. After Canada had wasted a penalty corner, Ramandeep snatched the ball in the Indian circle and sent a through to Deepak Thakur. Racing through the middle, Thakur dribbled past the Canadian defense and with a reverse shot beat Mike Mahood in goal for India's second goal. At the break, India led 2-1.
Four minutes into the second half and India increased the lead to 3-1. Deepak Thakur sent a cross from the midfield to Dhanraj Pillay on the right flank who dribbled past three defenders, and with the goalkeeper in front, flicked the ball over the pads for a superb effort. Credit must be given to Canada that they still regrouped and came back against the Indians who seemed in full flow now. Rob Short and Ken Perreira gave the Indian defense many an anxious moment. Penalty corners followed but the Indians defender dourly. Once, after the push had been taken, Pillay snatched the ball before it was even stopped and launched a counter-attack. Canada's pressure tactics finally paid off when in the 53rd minute when Rick Robertson scored off a penalty corner. Canada pressed on and the Indians fell to defending the goal in the last ten minutes.
Dilip Tirkey along with Ramandeep Singh, who had fallen back to a defenders position, kept the Canadians away. With five minutes to go, India earned their only penalty corner of the match, against eight by the Canadians. But Dilip Tirkey's shot got deflected off a Canadian defenders stick.
Indian coach Bhaskaran was happy with the result. "I think the boys played hard and they deserved the win. Three points are three points. In the previous matches, we should have won but we lost. Today, we had only one penalty corner but we won."
Canadian coach Shiaz praised the Indian performance. "Individually, it's difficult to find players like the Indians. They played very well today. We also had our chances and I think we are on the right track for Sydney."
Malaysia beat New Zealand 4-2

Hosts Malaysia continued their fantastic form here at the Sultan Azlan Shah hockey tournament thrashing New Zealand 4-1 at the Bukit Jalil stadium in Kuala Lumpur.
Malaysia scored twice in the first half through Chairil Anwar while New Zealand cut the margin through an indirect penalty corner conversion by Ryan Archibald. At the break, Malaysia led 2-1.
They scored twice in the second half through Shaiful Azli and Suhaimi Ibrahim. New Zealand, with two minutes in the match pulled another one back scoring through Creg Russ's field effort. Pumped up with two victories in the early matches against Canada and European Champions Germany, Malaysia went into the attack mode right from the second minute when Chairil Anwar smashed home a field goal to give Malaysia the lead.
Five minutes later, Chairil was again in the right position to score the hosts second goal. New Zealand desperately tried coming back into the attack but except for Umesh Parag, none of the other Kiwi forwards made any headway. Malaysia also had tightened up their defence as Maninderjit Singh and Kuhan played a good game of containment.
Midway, through the first half, the Kiwis got a couple of good balls through which led to a penalty corner in the 19th minute. A fantastic indirect effort saw Ryan Archibald deflect the ball into the Malaysian goal. The Kiwis had reduced the margin to 1-2. New Zealand faded away in the second half as the Malaysians controlled the game and didn't give away too much space to the Kiwi midfielders. Malaysia has been revelation in the tournament as their game has grown tremendously. Control and absolute utilization of spaces has proven that even Asian teams can mix European and Asian styles of play and still be successful. In the dramatic run of Malaysia, there is a lesson for India which refuses to leave their staid style of play.
Malaysia increased their lead in the 43rd minute when Shaiful Azli flicked the ball home through a maze of NewZealand legs and sticks. In the 52nd minute, Malaysia put the match beyond New Zealand when Suhaimi Ibrahim scored a field goal to increase Malaysia's lead to 4-1. But as Malaysia relaxed, New Zealand took advantage of gaps in the defence to squeeze through a field goal, scored by Creg Russ in the 68th minute. Malaysia now have nine points from three matches. While New Zealand have only one point after their drawn game against Canada.

Reigning champions Pakistan took a major step towards retaining the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup when they beat Asian Games champions, India 2-1 here at the Bukit Jalil Stadium. In what was the largest turnout till now, Pakistan scored both their goals in the first half. Ali Raza giving the lead when he hammered in a penalty corner and then Kashif Javaid scoring off a reverse hit which beat Indian goalkeeper Jude Menezes all ends up. At the break, Pakistan led 2-0. India pulled one back, when midway in the second half, in the 52nd minute, Dhillon fired in a penalty corner flick. Pakistan now have four points while India with two defeats have none. In the first match Pakistan drew with Korea 1-1. While India lost to Germany 1-2. India started off well forcing three penalty corners in the first five minutes of the match.
A set piece from the second penalty corner saw Dhanraj evading the Pakistani custodian but his shot hit the upright and deprived India of an early lead. With India clearly lacking cohesion in the midfield, Pakistan started dominating and forced their first penalty corner in the 7th minute, from which they scored.
A hefty hit by defender Ali Raza, took a deflection off Dhanraj's stick and flew over over the sprawled Jude Menezes. India still could have pulled back as they earned seven penalty corners in the first 20 minutes but all the shots went out or failed to stop cleanly.
For a world class team that has already qualified for the Olympics, this was nothing short of huge embarrassment. Mukesh had a sharp chance in the 21st minute but his goalbound flick was brilliantly saved by Pakistan goalkeeper Ahmed Alam. In the 28th minute, Pakistan scored their second again resulting off a break. Kashif was right in the circle and his reverse hit beat Jude Menezes. The Indian goalkeeper was just not in position. It's been too many times now that Jude has not covered spaces where the defender has to go ahead and hustle the defender. At the break, Pakistan led 2-0. India, who were totally out depth in the midfeild tried to scramble back. But Dhanraj Pillay and Mukesh Kumar still had to go back to the Indian half and grab the ball. That showed the total failure of the Indian midfield in the first half.
Ten minutes into the second half, India started dominating the match, thanks to Dhillon and Mukesh who were carving up the Pakistan defense but were unable to pierce through. In the 45th minute, Tirkey's shot off India's 7th penalty corner was disallowed as the Indians argued with the umpire. In the 51st minute, Mukesh Kumar was hacked down as he began a dangerous move down the middle. Pakistan's defender Irfan Yousaf was shown the yellow card.
Deepak Thakur could have got the equaliser but with only Ahmed Alam, the Pakistan goalkeeper in front, he totally missed the reverse hit. India, by now, were totally dominating but were unable to break through the Pakistan defence where today, Ahmed Alam was brilliant. With nine minutes left in the match, Mukesh Kumar had a clean look from the top of the circle but his shot whizzed past the post. India earned two more penalty corners in the last five minutes but both times India was pulled up for not stopping the ball cleanly.
Indian manager Gurbux Singh was distraught. "I don't know what to say, especially when the team scores off only one penalty corner out of ten." "I think we need to rectify this problem otherwise it was very depressing for the team." Gurbux promised that the team will not let down their resolve but would fight to win the rest of the matches. Pakistan's manager Islahuddin said that he was pleased with his teams performance. "They played to a plan and I am very happy for that." Islahuddin, however, agreed that India lost the match in the midfield. "You had 10 penalty corners and you scored only once. That showed where the weakness was."

VHS slashers "HEAD" and "AX" get new life on discMovies/TV,News Michael Gingold
Back in the late 1990s and early 2000s, independent writer/director Tommy Faircloth won some notice with his satirical slasher flicks CRINOLINE HEAD and GENERATION AX. Now he's prepared to spring them on a potential new generation of fans via disc release.
First released on VHS in 1997, CRINOLINE HEAD is set at an archetypal cabin by a lake where vacationing college students are stalked and slain by a recent mental-hospital escapee. In GENERATION AX, the popular couple in high school will do anything to stay on top, including murder those who threaten their status. Faircloth will be issuing both on new DVDs in the next couple of months, with making-of material, outtakes and more. "After the horrible distribution deal I had with CRINOLINE HEAD," he tells Fango, I decided to keep the rights to GENERATION AX, and sold off the foreign territories. I began writing my next script, FAMILY POSSESSIONS, and worked on some friends' horror films and other projects. I was literally exhausted from the requirements of finding good distribution for my films, so I took a hiatus and didn't work on FAMILY POSSESSIONS—or any horror, for that matter—for a few years."
After creating a number of documentaries about rollercoasters around the world (some for Discovery and TLC), Faircloth began receiving calls about the rights to CRINOLINE HEAD and GENERATION AX early this year. "There's a new interest in VHS again, especially on the collector's market, and old copies of my movies were going for $60 or $70 on eBay. People were wanting to rerelease them on VHS, and I was like, 'Really?' After talking with some filmmaker friends, I decided it was time to get back into the horror scene again. Things have changed so much now; back when I did those movies, they were shot on actual film, and the process was madness compared to what you can do now with new cameras and digital editing. The whole social-media scene was not available when my films came out, and there is so much more you can do now to promote and get your work out to an audience.
"So I dusted off my old masters of CRINOLINE HEAD and GENERATION AX, and decided it was time to get them on DVD," he continues. "I got CRINOLINE HEAD remastered with new titles, audio mix and effects and some color correction. I also got out some old behind-the-scenes footage that was only shown at the original premiere and am including that on the disc as well. A Facebook page was created, and I edited a trailer to drum up some interest. Up next is GENERATION AX; I'm in the process of creating a Facebook page for that as well, along with remastering the movie for its DVD release, working on the trailer and finishing up the cover art."
Both DVDs can be pre-ordered at Amazon.com and will also be available at the website of Faircloth's Horse Creek Productions. The writer/director has some new productions planned as well; stop back tomorrow for the details on those.

Imprisoned border agent did report shooting
DHS memo shows Compean spoke to supervisor immediately after incident
WND has obtained a Department of Homeland Security memo indicating Border Patrol agent Jose Compean made a complete, in-person verbal report to his supervisor at the scene immediately following the shooting incident for which he and colleague Ignacio Ramos are now in prison.
The May 15, 2005, report filed by DHS Special Agent Christopher Sanchez documents a conversation between Compean and his supervisor that explains the decision by all nine Border Patrol agents and supervisors on the scene not to file written reports.
As reported by WND yesterday, a DHS memo filed by Sanchez April 12, 2005, shows seven agents and two supervisors were present at the Feb. 17, 2005 incident also decided not to file written reports.
The April 12, 2005, DHS memo stated that all the agents present at the incident were equally guilty for not filing a written report.
These memos directly contradict the repeated statements of the prosecutor, U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, that agents Ramos and Compean filed false reports about the incident.
As far as WND can determine, no written reports were filed by any of the Border Patrol agents or supervisors on the field.
Moreover, the record of the May 15, 2005, memo indicates Compean was truthful in reporting verbally to the most senior supervisor present at the incident.
Sanchez's memo of May 15, 2005, is a transcript of a hearing held by Compean with El Paso Border Patrol Sector Chief Louis Barker. The hearing was held at Compean's request in order to protest his proposed indefinite suspension resulting from his March 18, 2005, arrest on criminal charges.
The first part of the hearing was held April 7, 2005, before Compean's April 13, 2005, indictment. The second recording from the hearing is dated April 28, 2005.
At the administrative hearing, Compean was accompanied by union representative Robert Russell, a vice president of Local 1929, the El Paso branch of the National Border Patrol Council.
In the opening statement transcribed from the April 7, 2005, audio cassette, Russell makes Barker aware that Compean had made a complete report on the scene to Jonathan Richards, the more senior of the two supervisors present at the incident.
Russell's testimony references a wound Compean suffered on his hand, a gash between the thumb and index finger, which he suffered when scuffling in the ditch with the drug smuggler, Osbaldo Aldrete-Davila, who had abandoned his vehicle and was attempting to escape back to Mexico on foot. Russell points to this wound as evidence of aggravated assault committed on Compean by the drug smuggler.
Here is Russell's recorded testimony:
Well, I mean, the base … the basis of this is basically … ummm … Mr. Compean … an assault took place that day against one of our agents, and he did defend himself, and the part of the assault is never mentioned in the complaint or anywhere by OIG (Office of Inspector General) that they know clearly how this did take place.
A few sentences later, Russell again references that what transpired at the scene was observed by the agents and supervisors in the field and subsequently fully known to the Border Patrol management at the station in Fabens, Texas.
Russell indicates that management at Fabens themselves chose not to make a report about Compean's injury. Here is his testimony:
Even management at the station in Fabens was fully aware of what had transpired and for whatever reason nothing was ever generated … and once all this comes forward, I mean, it's my belief even his attorneys' belief that even once that does come forward and all that information is presented that the charges will possibly be dropped … or dismissed … or he will be found not guilty … based on that … what did transpire.
Directly contradicting prosecutor Sutton's assertion that agents Ramos and Compean filed false reports, the April 2005 administrative hearing reveals Compean was forthcoming concerning the events of the incident.
In the second cassette, Russell makes clear that the reluctance to do more formal reporting after the incident came from supervisor Richards.
But the fact of the matter is an assault did take place. Umm … Mr. Richards did know about it.
Umm … whether Mr. Compean … Mr. Compean said yes sir to this or whether he was assaulted or not … doesn't negate Mr. Richards responsibility to take some action from the facts that were presented to him as to what happened out there.
He was on the scene. He was told by another agent exactly what had happened and it pretty much apparently stopped at that point.
Russell argues Richards did not want to go through the trouble of filing written paperwork. So rather than press the hand injury, which Compean felt was minor, Compean gave in to Richards' pressure to forget about the hand injury, obviating the only issue the supervisor felt might be needed to document in writing.
Station Chief Barker asked Compean why he didn't report the shooting. Compean admitted that possibly a written report should have been filed, but he and the other Border Patrol on the scene considered the incident inconsequential.
Compean testified:
As …As I stated to … umm … to this earlier … I didn't … I just … I know it was wrong for us not to reported it and I … if I would have thought that he had been hit or anything like that had happened I would have … I didn't … I just … I knew we were going to get in trouble because the way … the way it's been at the station the last two … three years … uhh … I mean everything always comes down to the alien. The agents are as soon as anything comes up … it is always … always the agent's fault. The agents have always been cleared but, with management, it's always been the agent's fault. We're the ones that get in trouble.
Compean continued to note that Aldrete-Davila escaped, and none of the agents in the field thought he had been hit. All the agents and supervisors in the field knew there had been a shooting and none of the agents or supervisors filed any written reports. There was no "cover-up" of anything that happened that day in the field, the documentation indicates. The only defect was failure by all to file a written report, including the two supervisors present.
Compean emphasized that the failure to report the incident was considered minor given the outcome:
He (Aldrete-Davila) was already gone back south. I … really didn't … didn't think he had been hit. The way I saw him walking back south he looked … he looked fine to us and we just didn't … nothing was ever said as … as to don't say anything keep your mouth shut nothing like that was ever … was ever brought up either. We just … we just didn't bring it up.
Compean's testimony emphasized supervisor Richards pressured him not to file a written report:
When we got back to the station it was the same thing he asked me and the way … the way I … the way he … he asked me … he made it seemed like he wanted me to say no and that's why I said it.
By denying he had been injured, Compean made it possible for Richards to avoid the trouble of filing a written report on the incident.
The issue about filing a written report, according to Compean's testimony, turned on his willingness not to mention the assault. The decision not to file a written report did not turn on wanting to hide the fact that shooting had taken place.
Moreover, Richards was well aware Compean had been injured in a scuffling match with Aldrete-Davila on the levee, when he wrestled the drug smuggler down. Compean did not even realize his hand had been cut until Richards pointed it out to him at the levee.
The Customs and Border Patrol manual mentions that the penalty for failure to report the discharge of a firearm or use of a weapon as required by the applicable firearms policy is a written reprimand, or at most a five-day suspension for the first offense. The manual makes no mention of the possibility of criminal punishment for failure to report the discharge of a weapon.
In a last, more belligerent section of the hearing, Barker charges, "There was a shooting where somebody was shot and NOTHING WAS SAID!" The capital letters were in the original transcript, probably reflecting Barker's emphasis.
Russell responds, according to the transcript: "That was an administrative violation on his part by not reporting it to the agency, yes, but on the same part the agency failed to act when it knew that an agent had been assaulted."
Then, Russell himself shouts out, "EMPLOYEES SAW IT," pointing out seven Border Patrol agents besides Ramos and Compean, including two supervisors, were at the scene.
According to the transcript, the pressure on Compean not to file a written report came from Richards, the senior supervisor on the field.
Richards was applying pressure on Compean not to report the assault, because that would have demanded paperwork.
Moreover, according to the hearing transcript, there is no record Richards ever mentioned to Compean the need to file a written report on the shooting.

It was a hard day for me today! While I am immensely thankful for a day where i can be intentional about celebrating this amazing thing Jesus did, I still felt overwhelmed by the commercialization of Easter and how many buy into it. I'm not trying to be overly religious or judgmental, but my heart aches to see people yearn for healthy lives, healthy relationships and a realization that what our souls need most is a connection to our Maker. Everything else is secondary, especially bunnies, chocolate and eggs.
We are running around filling a void in our lives with romantic relationships, material things, drugs and alcohol, exercise, dieting only to come up short or even empty handed. Chained to something we think is gonna make us happy, but in the end what we need is to accept we need our Maker. We need that relationship. I am certainly glad Jesus made a way for me to quit trying to find my worth in all these things that the world has to offer. I'm here in this planet for hopefully a while longer, so I'm gonna give in to this hope I have in Jesus. This hope that tells me I don't have to settle for finding my worth in things that are temporary. Instead I'm gonna find hope in our Creator.

Education students give back to community; gain experience at science fair
Even before he graduates from the Indiana University Kokomo School of Education, he will have valuable experience working with children, not only from student teaching, but also from community volunteer opportunities in area schools.
Tovar, along with classmates Megan Baer, Todd Clark, and Liz White, spent a morning judging the Sts. Joan of Arc and Patrick School science fair. They walked among exhibits, clipboards in hand, asking questions, examining display boards, and evaluating written reports, helping to determine the best projects.
Tovar said even though he's not going to teach science, the volunteer service will benefit him as a teacher.
"You can't just read a book about teaching and then teach kids," he said. "You have to learn to work with them. This gave me more experience working with kids. Even though it's not my specific area, I learned from it."
The four students are taking a scientific inquiry class, and Julie Saam, associate professor, said the hands-on experience would allow them to apply what they are learning.
"Judging a science fair is a valuable experience, because our education students can witness the results of a scientific inquiry project, and talk to students who have conducted the projects," she said. "This insight should help in their development of an understanding of how to conduct scientific inquiry, and how to teach it."
Baer said while she was helping the school, she also was gaining experiences that will make her a better teacher.
"It's a chance to work with kids and be in a school atmosphere," she said. "It's important for us because we're going to need this kind of volunteer help when we're teaching."
Liz White, who plans to be an elementary teacher, said she gained some ideas for inquiry projects she could do with her own students.
"It's interesting to see what the kids have done," she said. "It gives us a lot of ideas for experiments we never would have thought of, that we can teach later."
Todd Clark, a future English or special education teacher, said he also saw some good ideas for how to present a project.
The four IU Kokomo students were among 16 community volunteers judging the fair. Marcia Gillette, lecturer in chemistry, also was a science fair judge.
Sts. Joan of Arc and Patrick science teacher Stacey Hatfield said having a large panel of judges gives students the chance to have their projects evaluated multiple times. She was glad to have the students there to help, and said they will benefit from it as well, especially if they lead science fairs at their own schools later.
"They're seeing how the kids communicate at this age," she said. "As an education student, you're always looking for a chance to work with children."
Judging was also a chance to give back to the community, Saam said.
"We appreciate when the community asks for our students to serve," she said. "Our students are considered pre-service teachers, and they have skills in curriculum development, assessment, and instruction. They enjoy sharing their schools to enhance student learning in our community."
Indiana University Kokomo serves north central Indiana.

Sea Turtle Months (May-December
Puerto Vallarta has implemented a community-wide preservation program that combines protected nurseries for turtle eggs, plus educational projects. Turtle Liberation ceremonies are held daily during the season at participating hotel beaches. In addition, Vallarta eco-tour operators host nighttime tours to research camps designed to protect the eggs where visitors witness sea turtles laying eggs in their natural habitat and the release of the baby turtles. Puerto Vallarta's coastline is among the most important breeding grounds in the world for numerous endangered species of sea turtles. The Puerto Vallarta Sea Turtle Protection Project is a joint effort of the Puerto Vallarta Hotel.

Grey skies and an intermittent drizzle notwithstanding, the several hundred invitees titled the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Port-of-Spain by 4:30 p.m. on the somewhat bleak afternoon on January 13th, 1991. At that time, the President of the Republic, Mr. Noor Hassanali, with Mrs. Hassanali, arrived at the western entrance, having just been preceded by the Honourable Prime Minister, A. N. R. Robinson and Mrs. Robinson; the Attorney General, Mr. Anthony Smart, and Mrs. Smart, and the Honourable Finance Minister, Selby Wilson and Mrs. Wilson, and all the many other dignitaries of Church and State. Notables and Personalities of the Business and other sections of the community were also well represented.
The proceedings began with the Marionettes chorale (the choir) rendering the National Anthem, which they did with their accustomed charm and skill, after which the Very Reverend Father Rawle Douglin bade the congregation 'welcome' and made the call to worship. There followed the hymn, "O Worship the King".
The First Reading was done by Mr. William C. Agard D. L. C. (Eng.) who read from the Book of Zecariah Chapter 8, verses 3 to 12 and 16 to 17. After the appropriate response by the Congregation "Thank be to God", the Marionettes Chorale then rendered Psalm 150. The Programme, at this point, then called for prayers by the Hindu, the Muslim and Baha'i representatives.
The lovely voice of Jocelyn Sealey was then heard rendering the "Panis Angelicus". It then became the turn of the President of the TBLA, Mr. John Martin, to read.
This he did from the First Letter of Peter, Chapter 4, verses 7 to 11. After the Response, "Thanks Be To God", choir and congregation joined in singing the compelling "God Bless Our Nation", composed by Marjorie Padmore.
The Thanksgiving Intercessions, the Greeting of Peace and the Offertory followed, with the Marionettes Chorale singing the "Non Nobis Domine".
With The Hymn, "Praise to the Lord The Almighty", the stage was set for the conclusion of the Divine Service with the Blessing by Monsignor Anthony Pantin, Archbishop of Port-of-Spain.
The Marionettes Chorale then sang the "Hallelujah" chorus, to which compelling strains the uplifted audience, led by the President of the Republic, Mrs. Hassanali, and the Dean, proceeded - while the Carillon of bells peeled - to the further ceremony of the Illuminations, which would be followed by the gala Reception.

"Amazing Resume Creator"
All teachers frown on cheating in the classroom so why cheat your resume? So many teaching professionals go online looking for a free teacher resume to help them prepare for their job search. Despite these teacher's admonitions not to copy off fellow students during tests, or not to plagiarize information when writing papers the way that they automatically copy down the information in the free teacher resumes is more than a little bit hypocritical. After all, the same reasons apply for not copying off of final papers as for not copying off of other people's resumes. Not only is a self written resume going to be more specific and relevant to the individual who wrote it, but there is a learning practice associated with doing the work to write it that a copier simply won't be able to benefit from.
Consequently, instead of looking for a free teacher resume, prospective teacher job seekers would be better served looking for information on how to write a better resume for themselves. Fortunately, this information is quite simple and clear. The way to write a better resume is to write the resume as a sales document designed to convince a specific reader to bring a specific applicant in for an interview for a specific job. The more narrow and focused the resume can be in addressing the unique nature of each of those specifics, then the more effective that resume will be.
The Problem With free Teacher Resumes
The problem with free teacher resumes is that they are too general and generic. They give the background and information of some other teacher, or perhaps even an imaginary teacher, who is applying to some hypothetical school. Is it ay wonder that the people who rely on these free teacher resumes wind up sending resumes which all look like one another's? To stand out from this pack, you should do some thinking and research on the specific characteristics of both your target job and yourself.
A free teacher resume needs to make the case that the applicant can solve the particular problems of the target school. If you want to do this, then you need to know what those problems are. Though there is definitely some overlap in how all teachers do their job, there is also considerable distinctions based on schools, subjects and other factors. Finding out as much as you can about the target opportunity allows you to know what issues and problems are of the greatest importance to your target school. Once you know those, be sure to demonstrate as much experience as you can in solving those problems in the "job experience" portion of your resume. Lastly, be sure to write a "career objective" sentence that conveys not only your understanding of the problems which you will be expected to solve, but also a passion for solving those problems. Put that line up at the very top of your resume to serve as the first, tone-setting, thing that the reader sees.

In my opinion I think us women are pretty easy to figure out. Boys you make things up about us and I am setting you straight! This is what we really mean aka the secret lingo of women. Feel free to print this out for reference. Ladies feel free to print this out for your boys and tape it to the toilet, the only place they are guaranteed to see it.
-YES really means NO
- NO means YES
- MAYBE means NO
- WE NEED means I WANT
- I am sorry = you'll be sorry (better start running)
- We need to talk = you're in trouble (possibly big trouble)
- Sure, go ahead = you better not (if you know what's good for you)
-Do what you want = you will pay for this later (and possibly for weeks to come)
- I am not upset = of course I'm upset, you moron! (flowers could come in handy now, better yet chocolate...the good kind)
- Whatever! = Lordy, you are dead if you do that. In the doghouse for you
Now that the secret is out of the bag some light bulbs might go off for the boys...most likely not though. Do you infuse any of this in your stories? Do you do it on purpose? Do you do it without thinking (come on ladies you know this is how we really are lol).
Hey who said curiosity killed the cat?
