text: This evening I was doing my best imitation of a photojournalist for my uncle's polka band (likely their last concert, family in from out-of-province, full house, etc). The basement hall where this was taking place became quite humid over the course of the evening. After a while, I started to have 2 unusual equipment problems - one of my Pentax ME Supers started registering all shutter speeds at 1/500 in "Auto" mode no matter what the aperture was set to (which cleared up after I unseated/reseated the lens), and an external flash attached to a recently acquired Mamiya C330 80mm lens started not firing intermittently (it worked perfectly earlier in the evening and with the couple of test rolls I've put through the camera beforehand, and I've used that flash on other cameras without issue for some time). I did have a 2nd ME Super with me, but as I noticed the issue and it reset, I didn't feel the need to switch bodies. Now that I'm back home I'm letting the gear air out for a while before I test some more, but I wanted to see if this was a common issue with indoor shoots, and if so, how can I avoid or mitigate this in the future. It sometimes gets humid here, but I'm not often indoors under those conditions Thanks!

Our Schools
There are 33 Catholic schools in the Diocese of Bathurst, educating more than 9200 students from Kindergarten to Year 12.
Our schools range from small, rural primary schools in country towns through to large, secondary schools in regional cities, yet they all share a commitment to fostering both Gospel values and academic excellence.
Bishop Michael McKenna has established a Catholic Education Council as his chief advisory body for developing policies in this important work of the Diocese of Bathurst. The Council's work will be devoted to the oversight of the Catholic schools system, as well as to the catechesis of Catholic children and young people more generally. Father Paul Devitt, Episcopal Vicar for Catholic Education, is the President of the Council, Mr Paul Crennan (Bathurst) is the Chair.
Our teaching staff enjoy a strong, supportive, teaching environment and we actively seek teachers who are not just dynamic and innovative educators, but who are also deeply committed to the mission of the Church.
Schools of the Bathurst Diocese operate within an inclusive framework, ensuring all children receive the support they need to successfully participate and achieve as learners. Our schools cater for students who have a diverse range of personal characteristics, and we believe this diversity enriches the communal life of our schools. We endeavour to meet students' diverse needs through available support networks. One particular area of support is The Josephite Centre which is the Diocesan Diagnostic Assessment and Intervention Centre, it provides access to many specialists and its services are available to all of our schools.The Centre provides various pathways to support students with complex learning needs, allowing them to access specialist support from a variety of experts.

Clarksville community rolls up sleeves to meet the rising river
Fri, 19 Apr 2013 16:12:53 GMT —
UPDATED: Tuesday, April 23
There's renewed flood concerns along the Mississippi River Tuesday morning.
The river crested over the weekend, but reached a second, higher crest Monday in some parts of the Tri-States.
The river is currently 10 feet above flood stage there. Monday's crest took water over the levees in Clarksville.
We talked with officials there Tuesday morning. They say AmeriCorps Volunteers and Missouri National Guardsmen are currently reinforcing the flood walls they have already built.
In the downtown area they're actually building a second wall behind the first to protect the town
"That wall is beginning to move and they are having to build another wall behind that wall to build it up to hold it, " said,Curt Mitchell Eastern Pike County, Missouri Commissioner.
Volunteers are also extending a flood wall down Washington street to keep rising water from going around the sandbag wall and into the downtown area.
Friday, April 19
Clarksville Mayor Jo Anne Smiley is scared of losing her city to the rising Mississippi.
"We've been told that if the post office floods again we lose it," she said. "Lacross Lumbar our biggest business in town, we've been told by that company that if they flood again they don't come back."
Clarksville's flood stage is 25 feet. The river is expected to rise to more than 35 feet.
Efforts to keep it from overflowing into the city have been on going since early Thursday morning. AmeriCorps St. Louis sent volunteers to help. (See KHQA This Morning's coverage with volunteers, here.)
"They energy is great," AmeriCorps volunteer, Tom Schweiss said. "We've had volunteers show up all through out the day and night. We've had volunteers show up at 2 o'clock in the morning and have been working with us ever since."
"There's something really ... camaraderie building ... about building a wall together," volunteer Jennifer Johnson said. "Just being ahead of this water coming up, you feel like you all just coming together for this one single purpose and it's really great, even though we don't know each other."
"Every person that comes here to work just seems to dive in without knowing exactly what they're going to have to do," Smiley said. "They see what is to be done and they take hold and do it."
Stopping the river from entering the city is especially important, financially.
"Unless that State somewhere is declared a disaster then it becomes incumbent upon us to fund it," Smiley said.
How much will that cost?
"We don't have an estimate because you don't know until it's all over," Smiley said. "You don't know what you're going to need until the time comes."
So for now, Smiley says her focus is to stop the flood before it can cause any damage.
"It's something you know in you head but in your heart you hope it doesn't happen," she said ."To our residents I just say 'keep the faith' because that's what we have to do. We are doing what we have to do to protect our town."
Governor Nixon recently activated the National Guard.
Members will arrive in Clarksville tomorrow morning but volunteers are still needed.

Avila is back in the Tigers' lineup Thursday after sitting out the past two games with a sore left patellar tendon.
He hurt his knee fielding a bunt against Seattle on Monday night and received treatment Wednesday before the team departed for Oakland.
Avila will bat sixth and catch for right-hander Max Scherzer in the team's opener of a four-game set against the Oakland Athletics at O.co Coliseum.
His return behind the plate suggests the All-Star catcher is able to tolerate the lingering pain – for now – as he tries to avoid a stint on the disabled list.
Andy Dirks has returned to the lineup, too, after missing Wednesday's game as a precaution due to lingering tightness in his left hamstring.
He'll start in left field and bat second for his fourth straight game.
Brennan Boesch, who hit second Wednesday in place of Dirks, returns to the No. 8 spot in the lineup and will bat behind Ryan Raburn, who will start at second base tonight.
Playing in his first game against his former team, ex-Tiger infielder Brandon Inge is hitting sixth and starting at third base for Oakland.
Inge, who hit a walk-off grand slam against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday, is batting .219 with two home runs in eight games with the A's.
Here's tonight's starting lineups:
1. Austin Jackson CF
2. Andy Dirks LF
3. Miguel Cabrera 3B
4. Prince Fielder 1B
5. Delmon Young DH
6. Alex Avila C
7. Ryan Raburn 2B
8. Brennan Boesch RF
9. Ramon Santiago SS
Max Scherzer, RHP.
1. Jemile Weeks 2B
2. Cliff Pennington SS
3. Josh Reddick CF
4. Jonny Gomes DH
5. Seth Smith LF
6. Brandon Inge 3B
7. Kila Ka'aihue 1B
8. Kurt Suzuki C
9. Michael Taylor RF
Bartolo Colon, RHP.

"WHY would I vote? I don't like either of you," tweeted One Direction's Harry Styles 13 hours ago.
The UK heart-throb probably wasn't talking about Kevin Rudd and Tony Abbott, but his sentiment is shared by a large proportion of the Australian electorate.
Last election, one in five Australians who were eligible to vote did not cast a vote that counted.
In 2010, 1.5 million out of 15.5 million eligible Australians were missing from the electoral roll. A further 900,000 were on the roll but did not vote. And 700,000 cast informal votes that could not be counted.
Today the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) is busy urging 1,266,649 people who aren't enrolled to do so before the deadline at 8pm tonight.
"18 to 25-year-olds is the biggest age cohort of voters missing from roll," AEC spokesman Greg Doolan said.
"Approximately one in four are not enrolled and obviously the AEC sees that group as a bit of a priority in pushing out messages to get on the roll before tonight."
OPINION: Don't underestimate the power of your vote
Mr Doolan said an informal vote was cast when a person marked their ballot paper incorrectly.
While some of these informal votes are cast accidentally, there are also a number of Australians who vote informally on purpose.
Kath Crosby, a former political and communication strategist, plans to vote informally this election. She tells news.com.au why:
"Like most former-Democrats-supporters (and there are many of us) I take my vote and our democracy very seriously. Which is why this election I'll be voting informal.
To put it bluntly, nobody has earned my vote - so they don't get it.
As a political operative who has spent many an election night scrutineering, I know most of the informal votes are not intentional. They voted 1, and left the rest of the boxes blank; or voted 1,2,2,4 because they considered Labor and Liberal as bad as each other, but not as bad as One Nation, stuff like that. But there is also a proportion who, like me, votes informal deliberately when they believe it is called for.
Having been sick for most of the last two years this will be both the first election I haven't worked on, and the first election where I'm pretty close to being a single-issue voter.
You may have noticed that other than a fleeting vague mention from Kevin Rudd in his closing statement, health and hospitals (other than aged care) didn't make the agenda in last night's debate. I noticed. I've noticed the absence of health generally in their campaigns, dumbfounding though it may be. They don't get my vote.
None of the minor parties are saying much about health and hospitals either. Lots about internet freedom and agribusiness - two things I care about deeply - but not health. They don't get my vote.
They can't mention it next week with some vague fluffy statement and expect to win me over either. I'm a former Democrat, I read the policy detail. All of it. And if there isn't any detail I presume they're just saying poll-tested lines to pick up the votes of people that wouldn't vote if it wasn't for compulsory voting.
I often argue that I think compulsory voting makes our system and politicians lazy. It's also a violation of our freedom. As important as the integrity of our democracy is, the right to say 'none of you' by abstaining is as important to me as the right to vote.
Compulsory voting means that should I exercise that right by not attending a polling booth, I'll be fined. My only real option is to vote informal.
Compulsory voting also means we have dummy candidates on almost every ballot paper in this country. People who are just there to be a name on the ballot, gather some electoral revenue for the party. Why should they get your vote?
Greg Jericho wrote recently that by choosing to give your first preference to someone other than the major parties you deny them the $2.49 that our system values your vote at. I say deny your $2.49 to any of them and keep it in the tax payer's bank account.
Despite some fear mongering and misinformation, there is nothing illegal about voting informally."

Casey Turner has spent most of his life in the Tampa Bay area, where life can be relaxed and people are often open and neighborly.
So, when he found himself in a makeshift house with a dozen other contestants on CBS' unscripted competition Big Brother 11, the 41-year-old elementary school teacher brought his hometown attitude along, trusting two competitors who eventually masterminded his ejection from the game.
Looking back a day after he was voted out of the Big Brother house on national television Thursday, Turner blames himself for not realizing that super geek Ronnie Talbott's encyclopedic knowledge of the show and bodybuilder Jessie Godderz experience as a former contestant on Big Brother 10 would prove an insurmountable problem.
"I expected to have to do some lying, but I wasn't expecting it until week five or six — these guys came in playing the game from day one," said Turner, who grew up in Lakeland and lives in St. Petersburg. "I'm a bit of a hustler, but I got hustled."
CBS' Big Brother features a bustling collection of competitors challenged to live nearly three months in a home on a studio lot outfitted with constant camera supervision. Footage from their assorted confrontations and contests is assembled into hourlong episodes aired Sundays, Tuesday and Thursdays.
Using the handle he slings while working as a part-time disc jockey — DJ Mingle Mixx — Turner tried fitting in with his 20- and 30-something competitors, only to find that his love for hip-hop culture and taste for fast patter only made him the odd man out. At the beginning of this week, he was forced to wear a banana suit; on Tuesday, he was nominated for ejection by Godderz; and on Thursday, he became the third contestant voted out.
Confirming rampant Internet rumors, Turner acknowledged that he actually met Godderz — a California native who told the teacher he now lives in Brandon — six weeks ago at the weekly bikini contest he hosts at Gator's Cafe in St. John's Pass. But the brief meeting, which Turner said came before he knew he or Godderz would be joining the new Big Brother cast, didn't help when alliances began to form inside the house.
"I think what I do helps me as a teacher, especially teaching on the south side of St. Petersburg," said Turner, who teaches fifth grade at James B. Sanderlin Elementary in St. Petersburg. "Ronnie accused me of having a mid-life crisis, but this is who I am. I wasn't playing a character."
One thing that might not help him as a teacher: Some of the explicit arguments that went down during the competition.
Turner admits cursing a bit, drinking some wine on camera and expounding a bit too much on the shortcomings of the educational system.
"I know too many families which don't have books in their house at all," he said. "Teachers need help from parents. My opinions about education might not be popular, but (they were) expressed with the intent of making schools better places to learn."
Turner expects to return to St. Petersburg some time next week, joining his wife and year-old son (he also has a teenage son living in Lakeland) to watch the show finish off from home.
"I hope everybody understands I'm a good guy and a role model," he said. "Even in a banana suit."

Despite initially approving the operation of Gulfstream's new flagship G650 at Colorado's Aspen-Pitkin County Airport when it enters service, officials there have reversed their decision after a citizen's group pointed out that the wingspan of the ultra-long-range business jet exceeds the width limit set by local code and the FAA. The airport's management initially based its approval on the span of the wing's lifting surface, which according to Gulfstream does not include the winglets. The OEM lists the G650's span as 93 feet, 8 inches, less than the airport's 95-foot-span limit; including the reach of the winglets pushes the overall width to more than 99 feet.
According to Jim Ellwood, the airport's aviation director, the span limit at the airport was established through a planning process with the FAA to maintain a safe distance between the centerline of the runway and the centerline of the taxiway, and after requesting clarification from the FAA he was told the wingspan should be defined from the outside tip to the outside tip of the entire wing assembly, including any shadow that might be cast by the winglets as well. Ellwood noted the agency's initial wingspan guidelines were drawn up before winglets became popular and are in need of revision. "The 95-foot wingspan [limit] is based in ordinance and reinforced by the FAA, so unfortunately the G650 is not going to be able to land here unless some other thing changes that we don't have knowledge of today," he told AIN. Gulfstream declined to comment on the decision.

Killeen Daily Herald
The Department of Defense on Tuesday announced that two Fort Hood-based units are among the next 10 Army brigade combat teams that will deploy to Iraq between August and December.
Included in the announcement are the 4th Infantry Division's 1st Brigade Combat Team and the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, both based at Fort Hood.
Armywide, the deployments affect about 35,000 active-duty troops, who will serve up to 15 months.
The 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment will deploy in November at the beginning of the month, while the 1st Brigade Combat Team of the 4th Infantry will deploy at the end of December.
The 1st Brigade is fresh from a three-week field training exercise, and the news came as no surprise to its deputy commander, Lt. Col. Kevin Dixon.
"Our soldiers all knew we were training and resetting the brigade for another deployment," Dixon said.
The brigade came back from a yearlong deployment this past December, and will meet the Army's stated goal of having each combat brigade stay in the United States for at least 12 months between deployments.
Dixon said knowing an exact timetable is important for the soldiers and their families, so they can plan accordingly. "Our families are incredibly supportive of their soldiers. Knowing what's in store for them is 80 percent of the battle for morale," Dixon said regarding the deployment orders.
The brigade deploys with an experienced group of leaders, from the battalion commanders on down. All six battalion commanders have deployed with the division in previous capacities, and more than half of the captains serving as company commanders have Iraq tours under their belt.
"Continuity in our senior leadership will continue," he said.
The 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment is no stranger to the sands of Iraq, either. The regiment deployed most recently in Operation Iraqi Freedom III and returned to Fort Carson, Colo., in March 2006 before relocating to Fort Hood in July of last year.
Maj. Gary Dangerfield, 3rd Armored Cavalry public affairs officer, said the news came as no surprise to the regiment, either. "The families of our soldiers were informed on Friday that the possibility of definite deployment orders existed," he said.
Dangerfield said that the current training schedule includes a monthlong field exercise in the desert sands of Fort Irwin, Calif., in June and July so the regiment will be ready.
Also receiving deployment orders Tuesday were 1st, 2nd, and 3rd brigades, 101st Airborne Division, Fort Campbell, Ky.; 4th Brigade, 10th Mountain Division, Fort Polk, La.; 4th Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division, Fort Stewart, Ga.; 2nd Brigade, 25th Infantry Division, Schofield Barracks, Hawaii; 2nd Cavalry Regiment (Stryker), Vilseck, Germany; and 2nd Brigade, 1st Armored Division, Baumholder, Germany.

The Artists
Cho-Liang Lin, violin
In recent seasons, Mr. Lin has expanded his orchestral engagements to include performances as both soloist and conductor. He completed season-long residencies with the Shanghai Symphony and with the Singapore Symphony, which included engagements as soloist and conductor, participating in chamber music, and giving master classes. In 2012-13, Mr. Lin returned to play and conduct with the National Taiwan Symphony Orchestra and the symphonies of Detroit, San Antonio, and Shanghai.
As an advocate for music of our time, Mr. Lin has enjoyed collaborations and premieres with composers such as Tan Dun, Joel Hoffman, John Harbison, Christopher Rouse, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Lalo Schifrin, Paul Schoenfield, Bright Sheng, and Joan Tower. An avid chamber musician, Mr. Lin appears at the Beijing Music Festival, as well as his perennial appearances at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, the Aspen Music Festival, and Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival.
As Music Director of La Jolla Music Society's SummerFest since 2001, Mr. Lin has helped develop what was once primarily a chamber music festival into a multidisciplinary festival featuring dance, jazz and a burgeoning new music program that commissions composers as diverse as Chick Corea, Stewart Copeland, Leon Kirchner, Christopher Rouse, Wayne Shorter, Kaija Saariaho and Gunther Schuller. In Asia, Mr. Lin serves as Artistic Director of the Hong Kong International Chamber Music Festival, and he was recently appointed Artistic Director of the National Taiwan Symphony Orchestra's Youth Music Summer Camp, where he also conducts performances and serves as a member of the string faculty.
Mr. Lin's extensive discography includes recordings for Sony Classical, Decca, Ondine, Naxos and BIS. His albums have garnered two Grammy Award nominations in addition to winning such awards as Gramophone Magazine's Record of the Year. His recordings reflect the breadth of his distinctive career, featuring the standard violin concerti from Mozart to Stravinsky, chamber music from Brahms to Ravel and contemporary music from Chen Yi to Christopher Rouse. His most recent discs include Vivaldi's Four Seasons with Sejong and Anthony Newman, violin works of Bright Sheng and Gordon Chin on Naxos, and the First Violin Concerto by George Tsontakis on Koch. Upcoming plans include recording a violin concerto by Joan Tower with the Nashville Symphony.
Born in Taiwan in 1960, Cho-Liang Lin began his violin lessons when he was five years old with Sylvia Lee. At the age of twelve, he went to Sydney to continue his musical studies with Robert Pikler. Inspired by an encounter with Itzhak Perlman while in Sydney, he traveled to New York in 1975 to audition for Perlman's teacher, the late Dorothy DeLay, at the Juilliard School. He was to study with Ms. DeLay for six years. At the age of nineteen Mr. Lin made his New York debut at the Mostly Mozart Festival and soon after made his first appearance with the New York Philharmonic, launching his concert career. In 2000 Musical America named Mr. Lin its Instrumentalist of the Year. He was invited to join the faculty of the Juilliard School in 1991, and was more recently appointed professor of violin at Rice University's Shepherd School of Music. He plays the 1715 "Titian" Stradivarius.
William VerMeuelen, horn
Mr. VerMeulen has been Principal Horn of the Houston Symphony since 1990. In addition, he has performed as guest Principal Horn of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Cincinnati Symphony, St. Louis Symphony, Pittsburgh Symphony and St. Paul Chamber Orchestra. He previously played with the orchestras of Chicago, Columbus, Honolulu, and Kansas City. Mr. VerMeulen maintains a busy schedule as a soloist and chamber musician with recent engagements in New York, Spain, Israel, Poland, Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Ohio, Idaho, Orcas Island, Virginia, Washington, and Texas.
Mr. VerMeulen has participated as a performer and on faculty with numerous music festivals and chamber music presenters including: Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Aspen, Music@Menlo, DaCamera, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Joshua Bell and Friends, Methow, Tanglewood, Grand Teton, Pacific, Steamboat Springs, Orcas Island, Seattle, National Repertory Orchestra, Festival Institute at Round Top, Bowdoin, Colorado, Interlochen, Chamber Music Northwest, Kapalua and the Sun Valley Summer Symphony where he also serves as Principal Horn.
He has performed to critical acclaim on four continents as a soloist and chamber musician and is a popular artist at International Horn Symposiums. His recording of the four Mozart Horn Concerti with Christoph Eschenbach and the Houston Symphony is heralded internationally with high critical acclaim and has sold out of its third pressing.

Goodspeed's History of
SouthEast Missouri-1887
Section 3:1799 + (Settlements, Counties & People)
Transcribed by Tara R Barrett, 1999
Section 3:1799 + (Settlements, Counties & People)
Page #2
Joseph Hunter, one of the most distinguished pioneers of Southeast Missouri, came to New Madrid District in 1805, and located on a grant purchased from Joseph La Plante, near New Madrid. Very soon after he removed to Big Prairie, and with his brother-in-law, Samuel Phillips, located near the present town of Sikeston. Joseph Hunter was a son of a Scotch-Irish Presbyterian, who immigrated to America from the North of Ireland prior to the Revolutionary War. During the early settlement of Kentucky the family removed to Louisville. A brother of Joseph, who had been an officer in the continental army, received a grant of land on the river above the town in what is still known as "Hunter's Bottom." The mother Joseph and a sister were killed by the Indians while in a flax-field near their home; a brother, Abraham, also met his death at the hands of savages. Nancy Hunter, another member of the family, is mentioned in connection with the history of Ste. Genevieve.
Upon the organization of the Missouri Territory, Joseph Hunter was appointed by President Madison a member of the territorial council. He had a large family, and his descendants are very numerous, embracing many of the wealthiest and most prominent citizens of this State. His eldest son, Milford, removed to Grand Gulf, Miss. The second son, Abraham, married Sally Ogden, and became the father of three sons and three daughters, viz: Issac, a judge of Scott County Court; Joseph, a wealthy citizen of New Madrid, and Benjamin F., living near Sikeston, one of the largest land owners in Southeast Missouri; Catherine, who married first Americus Price, and second Marmaduke Beckwith; Mary, who married Archibald Price, and Amanda. Abraham Hunter in his day was probably the best known politican in Southeast Missouri, and served for twenty years, successively, in one or the other of the branches of the State Legislature. James, another son of Joseph Hunter married Lucy Beckwith, and had two children: Joseph, killed in the battle of Pilot Knob, and Kate. David, a fourth son, married his cousin Nancy Phillips, by whom he had three children: Samuel, Betty and Jenny. Joseph Hunter, Jr., married Elizabeth Johnson, and was the father of two children: maria, who married Maj. James Parrott, and Ann, who became the wife of Joseph H Moore. Thomas, the youngest son of Joseph Hunter, Sr., married Eliza Meyers, and reared two children: Nannie Kate, wife of Col. Thomas Brown of Columbus, Ky., and Senator William Hunter. Of the daughters of Joseph Hunter, Mary married Andrew Gobiney, of Cape Girardeau, whose daughter is the wife of Hon. Louis Houck, and Hannah married Mark H Stallcup, of New Madrid County. Capt. William Meyers was the first settler on the site of Benton. He was a native of North Carolina, but had lived for a time in Tennessee. He was a commissioned officer in the War of 1812, and distinguished himself as an Indian fighter.
That part of Scott County formerly known as Tywappity Bottom, which extended from Commerce to Bird's Point, began to receive settlers as early as 1798; among them were James Brady, James Curran, Charles Findlay, Edmund Hogan, Thomas, John and James Wellborn, and Stephen, Josiah and Robert Quimby. About 1802 or 1803 Thomas W. Waters, a South Carolinian, located on the site of Commerce, and established a trading post and store, in partnership with Robert Hall. He also kept a ferry across the Mississippi. He died within a few years after coming to this country.
The first settlement in the territory now embraced in Mississippi County was made about the year 1800 by John Johnson, who obtained a grant of land, and built a cabin on or near the present Bird's Point. The next year Edward Mathews, with his sons, Edward N., Charles, Joseph, James and Allen, settled on what was then known as St. Charles Prairie, but which has since borne the name of "Mathews' Prairie." They were joined within the next two or three years by Charles Gray, Joseph Smith, John Weaver, George Hecker, and Absalom McElmurry. The last named married Elizabeth Gray, and in 1810 removed to Arkansas, but returned to the Prairie three years later. About 1805 Abraham Bird, the founder of Cairo, Ill., crossed the river, and established himself on the land previously occupied by John Johnson, where he remained until the overflow of 1814-1815. He then went to Louisianna, and a few years later his youngest son, John Bird, took possession of the homestead.

KARACHI, June 20: The Sindh High Court on Wednesday directed the Sukkur DIG to submit a report in a missing person case in two weeks.
An SHC division bench comprising Justices Aqeel Ahmed Abbasi and Mohammad Shafi Siddiqui ordered the Sukkur DIG to personally look into the matter about the recovery of Sohbat Khoso and file the report on the next hearing.
A police officer also appeared before the bench and claimed that efforts were under way to track down the detainee, but no progress had yet been made.
During the last hearing, the court had directed the provincial law officer to obtain a detailed report from the joint investigation team and submit it in court.
Additional Advocate-General Sarwar Khan informed the bench on Wednesday that the JIT meeting was held, but it remained inconclusive regarding the whereabouts of the detainee and sought more time.
Petitioner Qabil Khoso submitted that his brother Sohbat Khoso and Ikhtiar Chandio belonging to the Jeay Sindh Quami Mahaz (JSQM) along with their friend were picked up allegedly by law-enforcement agencies near the Ranipur Toll Plaza on March 16, 2011.
He stated that Mr Chandio and their friend had been shown to have been arrested in some railway track blast cases but the whereabouts of his brother was still unknown.
He alleged that the detainee was in the custody of the Inter-Services Intelligence.
During one of the previous hearings, a federal law officer filed comments on behalf of the ISI denying the arrest or detention of the petitioner's brother. However, the bench had asked an ISI official to file his respective affidavit.
Meanwhile, the same bench directed the Hyderabad City SHO to file a report and produce a detainee in court till July 10.
Mukhtar Begum filed a petition in the SHC submitting that her son, Faqir Najeeb Qureshi, a political worker, was picked up by the police in his house in Bhittaiabad on June 2.
However, she contended that the detainee was being kept in illegal detention as the police had neither produced him in any court of law nor had he been released.

New 'Dancing With The Stars' Cast Is Pathetic!
ABC surely is getting some pitiful folks to be on the new season of Dancing With The Stars. Granted, there are some that I think will be halfway interesting but some are so…well, I thought they were dead.
Let's go from maybe most famous to least famous:
* Florence Henderson – you know, Mrs. Brady herself!
* David Hasselhoff - need we say more?
* Brandy – our obligatory pop singer
* Michael Bolton – our weird, old crooner
* Margaret Cho – who I think will be the most hilarious guest
* Rick Fox – Vanessa Williams' ex husband, Eliza Dushku's new squeeze and former sports star
* Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino – does this ensure him more tail in the future?
* Jennifer Grey – yep, the girl from Dirty Dancing
* Kurt Warner – some retired NFL quarterback
* Bristol Palin – yep, that baby mamma
* Audrina Patridge – snooze
* Kyle Massey – who? Oh, he was on That's So Raven? Still…who?
Here are some folks who were rumored to be appearing but just didn't happen: Kirstie Alley (oh that would have been a dream!), World Cup star Landon Donovan, and former Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky!
I've never once watched this show and I'm not sure with this cast that I'm enticed to in the future.

June saw violence in Chicago escalate and the national media largely ignored it, choosing to concentrate on George Zimmerman instead. The Black Panthers threatened violence and the DOJ did nothing. Rahm Emanuel said he had the right strategy to fight the mounting violence. Local media initially mapped out shootings, then pulled the map.
The media stoked racial tensions whenever they could. NYC also had it's fair share of shootings. Flash mobs continued, so did a string of antisemitic acts. Some antisemites even were running for office.
Anyone who wants a glimpse of how Obamacare will be run should check out how they handle medicaid fraud. Some might label Obamacare as a form of economic terrorism. Apparently none of those people are on the Supreme Court.
Jobs claims rose. Housing sales dropped. Manufacturing was down, so were stocks. Some people went to extreme measures in their living accommodations. The Feds wouldn't disclose what people were buying with Food Stamps. The economy struggled and Obama insisted the private sector was doing fine.
The President told us Al Qaeda was dead, but we saw homegrown Jihad attempts increase. Some were even linked to HAMAS. Some were tied to Al Shabbab. Trials in NY and TX for terror plots proceeded.
Americans started renouncing citizenship to avoid taxes.
Andrea Mitchell and NBC selectively edited Romney campaign stop footage which became known as WaWaGate.
Jerry Sandusky was found guilty of 45 of the 48 counts against him for sexually abusing young boys. May he burn in Hell.
The TSA continued its war on innocent travelers. The TSA expanded its reach to Subways and train stations.
Drone strikes continued. The media and the Left ignored it – even when drone bases were located on American soil. Also, the Intelligence leaks continued.
Our DOJ dropped terrorism charges and this administration continued its policy of appeasement, white washing and censorship. Eric Holder was still in the hot seat over Fast and Furious. Obama granted him executive privilege. Congress scheduled their contempt vote of which Holder would be voted to be found in contempt. Holder chose his words poorly. It was also announced the DOJ would monitor elections in key states.
Untreatable Gonorrhea is spreading world wide.
Switzerland's banks were being robbed with bazookas. The US was apparently funding Sesame Street in Pakistan. More dismembered bodies were discovered over the border in Mexico. Burma began seeing muslim mob violence. Tunisia saw more rioting Islamists. The Golden Dawn in Greece made some disturbing threats. HAMAS continued firing rockets into Israel; media only notices when Israel fires back. In Egypt, Obama's beloved Muslim Brotherhood was laying out its plans for Sharia and their leader, Morsi, was demanding the return of the Blind Sheik.
Maxine Waters corruption case proceeded. John Bryson was accused of a hit and run.
The GSA continued to have scandal issues.
Obama granted more amnesty by fiat to illegals. Asking Obama questions became racist.
Scott Walker wasn't going anywhere.
Alec Baldwin went on a series of adventures.
Richard Dawson, Nora Ephron and Ray Bradbury died.
LL1885's June posts are here.

Three years ago in Egypt, a prominent newspaper editor was thrown into prison for speculating that Hosni Mubarak's health was failing.
Today, speculation about the former president's deteriorating physical conditions is instead making headlines.
Mubarak, who was ousted on February 11 after widespread street protests, is believed to have stomach cancer, according to the former leader's defense attorney.
"He has a stomach cancer and the tumors are growing," Farid el-Deeb, Mubarak's defense lawyer, told Al-Jazeera on Monday.
El-Deeb also said that Mubarak's cancer was "causing severe repercussions on his heart and brain vessels."
The Mubarak family has apparently known about the disease since March 2010 but kept it a secret, according to the same report.
Mubarak spent more than a month in a German hospital in 2010 after having gallbladder surgery. During that absence, rumors about Mubarak's declining health, possible death, and even mummification fueled a heated debate over the future political leadership of the country.
Since leaving office last February, Mubarak's conditions have worsened, according to new reports.
In April, Mubarak reportedly survived a heart attack while under investigation for corruption charges.
The former president is also believed to have suffered bouts of depression since leaving office.
Whether or not Mubarak actually has cancer could be a huge factor in the decision to try to former leader in a court of law. Egyptian officials in the interim government, however, have said the trial could be moved for "security or health reasons."
Mubarak will go to trial on corruption charges on August 3. He will also face allegations that he ordered police to shoot and kill Egyptian protesters during the January uprising.
Mubarak's health problems have spared him the fate of his two sons Gamal and Alaa, both currently in prison just south of Cairo pending investigation. Instead, Mubarak has been staying in comparative luxury - at a hospital in the resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh.
Some Egyptians are cynical, believing that Mubarak and his wife are using the health problems as a cover to avoid a public trial. Mubarak's wife, Suzanne, also reportedly suffered a heart attack while being questioned over misuse of public funds.
Egypt's current health chief told a popular local newspaper that the former president's health was not deteriorating as reported.
"His health condition is stable," Ashraf Hatem, Egypt's Minister of Health, told Al-Masry Al-Youm.

Summoner are Chris Johnson – lead vocals and bass, AJ Peters – guitar, Joe Richner – guitar, Scott Smith – drums
Summoner are a four piece stoner rock band from Boston who draw on such influences as Black Sabbath, Neurosis, Hawkwind, Torche, Dead Meadow, Pink Floyd, Thin Lizzy, Queens of the Stone Age, Led Zeppelin, and Pentagram.
Conceived in 2007 as Riff Cannon, the band quickly began making a name for themselves in the Boston area.
Their first release was a four song EP simply titled Riff Cannon. With 2009 came their Mercury Mountain release, still under the Riff Cannon moniker, of which Glam Rock Gorilla wrote included, "an avalanche of riffs."
The band spent the next two years touring throughout the Northeast and readied their second full length, Phoenix, for an early 2012 release. It was at that time that the band was under much deliberation to make a name change.
As 2012 began, so did the newly named Summoner. Their second full length, Atlantian, was released in the fall of 2013 on the Albany label, Magnetic Eye Records.
