Investors who entrusted their finances to Melbourne fraud, Leonard Joseph Abrahams, have come forward after his recent conviction with allegations that he lost more than $8 million of their savings in unauthorised, high-risk and fraudulent share trading in the 1990s.
The investors, from Melbourne and Queensland, have told BusinessDay that despite a lengthy police investigation in the late 1990s, which led to 25 fraud charges being laid against Abrahams, and despite hefty losses incurred by several leading broking firms who extended credit to Abrahams, he was not brought to justice at the time.
Abrahams, 47, was jailed recently for 12 months after pleading guilty to a single count related to deceiving the broking house Tolhurst Noall in 2005 over the true ownership of $1.7 million he controlled on behalf of a dozen investors.
At Abrahams' sentencing, the Crown sought as much as six years imprisonment but County Court judge Gerard Mullaly accepted that, among other things, Abrahams' severe bipolar disorder had impaired his decisions in 2005.
The court however did not hear that Abrahams since the 1990s has been the subject of formal investigations by the police, the stock exchange, broking houses, and numerous individual investors who say the former chartered accountant, tax agent and licensed securities dealer defrauded them.
Millions lost
But after BusinessDay publicised the recent County Court case, Barbara Kerr-Graham of Queensland and her husband, Donald, and Ina and John Roberts of Melbourne's north-western suburbs, claimed they were ripped off by the smooth-talking Abrahams in the early 1990s.
Mrs Kerr-Graham lost millions of dollars of direct-share investments and later was forced to sell her mortgaged properties as a result of Abrahams' improper and unauthorised trading. She estimates her losses ran to about $6.5 million.
As well, in April 1994 while the Grahams were in Hong Kong, Abrahams helped himself to $117,681 of Mr Graham's shares - his superannuation from three decades of military service - and, without any authorisation, secretly sold the lot and used it for his own trading purposes.
Abrahams later acknowledged it all in a brazen letter to Mr Graham.
But the families say this was only one instance of Abrahams' unabashed fraud.
They say Abrahams, then in his late 20s, forged their signatures on documents he gave brokers, that he duped brokers into believing he was authorised to trade the families' securities as he wanted, and that he used the families' funds to settle his own hefty debts with brokers.
Charges laid against Abrahams in 2000 in relation to the loss of Mr Graham's funds were discontinued in March 2002.
''If the people had believed us in the first place, none of this second group of people [in 2005] would have lost money,'' Mrs Kerr-Graham said. ''The DPP, the fraud squad - why did they change their minds?''
Let down
Similarly, Mrs Roberts said her family felt hugely let down by the police and corporate regulators, the justice system, the stock exchange and a raft of professional organisations.
Both families conducted lengthy, private investigations into Abrahams in three states, and even today their anger at the authorities' failure is palpable.
''My belief in the law was absolutely dismantled,'' Mrs Roberts said. '' I just could not believe that something was not going to happen to this man. I was a church girl from way back and here was someone who was 'bad'.''
The families spent more than $200,000 in legal fees as they tried to get restitution, and they spent months fighting Macquarie Bank as it sued to claw back more than $1 million the families borrowed - on Abrahams' urging - after he lost all their funds in 1994.
Documents retained by the Roberts family suggest Abrahams had no qualms about using other people's money to fund his own share trading, and he devised a suite of self-serving excuses when the police, brokers and investors were closing in.
Among the papers are copies of some of Abrahams' notes, obtained under freedom of information, which include the following:
Get out of debt
Stay out of jail
Retain losses
Be able to recommence asap ...
The families have told BusinessDay that Abrahams inveigled his way into their lives in about 1992 by agreeing to do tax returns. Then they entrusted him with share certificates, superannuation and savings valued at millions of dollars.
At the time, both families owned big parcels of wholly-owned shares in many of Australia's most profitable blue-chip companies, including BHP, NAB, Westfield Trust, Boral, Amcor and Coles Myer.
Mrs Kerr-Graham inherited a substantial sum from the estate of her first husband, who died in 1989, and she owned several properties including a stately Victorian mansion in East Melbourne which was leased to BHP executives.
The Roberts family owned more than $300,000 in shares, $1 million in superannuation and a portfolio of seven Melbourne houses and four blocks at Ocean Grove. They were scrupulous savers who only ever paid cash for their properties.
High-volume trading
But Abrahams brow-beat them into borrowing against their properties, then used some of the proceeds to conduct high-volume options trading through several trust structures.
His options trading was so risky and involved so much money that in early 1993 brokers at Ord Minnett warned the investors; Abrahams simply took their business to a different broker.
And all this time, say the families, Abrahams would telephone several times a day, pestering them for more money, baffling them with paperwork and convoluted trading talk, yet repeatedly ignoring their requests for investment statements.
In mid-1994, on the eve of the Grahams' wedding, Abrahams arrived at their Sanctuary Cove home demanding another loan to cover options trading.
Contrary to Mrs Kerr-Graham's specific instructions that the funds should be invested in shares, Abrahams secretly used it to pay down debts with three brokers.
Midnight shock
Not long after, he rang Mrs Kerr-Graham at midnight and revealed all the money was gone.
''I went into shock,'' she said. ''I was shivery, teeth chattering. I just couldn't think ... I mean it's not as if I'm a dumb broad. I am meticulous about these things, and I just could not believe that this could happen to me.''
Similarly, the Roberts family discovered Abrahams had lost all their savings when he called a meeting at his hired office at 101 Collins Street in mid 1994.
''It was like a bombshell,'' Mrs Roberts said, adding that even then he was demanding more money.
Records recovered by the Roberts family from Deutsche Bank showed Abrahams, without their authorisation, had taken out lines of credit in their names; in one year he churned $33 million of drawdowns in those facilities.
Bankrupt x 2
When he was bankrupted in 1996, Abrahams identified debts of more than $5 million but he paid creditors just $10,000. Untold sums were also owed to the Roberts and Graham families as well as to the Tax Office and broking houses Bain Securities, SBC Warburg, Roach McIntosh, Ord Minnett, CS First Boston and Hambros Equities.
When Abrahams was bankrupted a second time, in 2009, he owed more than $28 million.
The Roberts and Graham families may be the first victims of Leonard Abrahams, but they are not alone.
The County Court last year heard how in 2005 he falsely declared to broker Tolhurst Noall that he solely owned $1.7 million of funds that in fact belonged to about 10 private investors. In mid-2006 when the broker issued a margin call against Abrahams, the investors' trust account was drained to meet his personal debts.
While the failure to bring Abrahams to justice earlier and to halt the millions of dollars taken improperly over two decades is an indictment on Australia's regulators, the investors see it as an absolute disgrace.

Three gold for Parksville's Preston
Julie Preston set out to enjoy the experience of the B.C. Summer Games and came home with three gold medals.
Preston, a 14-year-old who lives in Parksville, took part in three synchronized swimming events.
Participating in the solo, figures and team events, Preston had a chance to make a splash in the pool over the weekend and that's exactly what she did.
Figures were the first event for Preston and she got off to a great start. Rated on a number of elements out of 10, by a panel of judges, Preston recorded the highest marks, earning a first place finish and added her points to the team score as well.
In her second event, the team competition, Preston was again part of the first place team, earning her second gold.
In her third and final event, the solo competition, Preston went on to capture her third gold, capping an amazing weekend, competition wise, for her.
"I wasn't expecting to finish the way that I did at all," Preston said after her impressive weekend at the B.C. Summer Games.
"It's pretty amazing, thinking about it all now. It was a really great experience and I had a lot of fun there, being with my team and competing alongside them. It was a great weekend and I enjoyed every minute being there."
The B.C. Summer Games were hosted in and around Nanaimo from July 17-20.

Kind of off topic, but I have just gotten around to watch Salido vs Loma, and I have to say Salido's win wasn't nearly as clear as most people on these forums made it out to be at the time. In fact I thought the fight could have gone either way. Loma did all of what little clean boxing there was in the fight, and landed almost all the eye catching shots. Salido did a good job smothering him, but his work wasn't clean at all, and he landed next to nothing to the head. Loma winning wouldn't have been a robbery at all (though I'm pretty sure a lot of people would have cried robbery).

Scottish singer/songwriter Sandi Thom was involved in a medical mix-up on Monday (19Nov12) after she was given the wrong injection by a doctor.
The I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker (With Flowers in My Hair) hitmaker, who last month (Oct12) won her two-year battle for permission to move permanently to the U.S., headed to a medical facility for an influenza vaccination but ended up with completely different medication.
In a post on her Twitter.com page, she writes, "Went into the doc's for my Flu jab. Part of my greencard medical. Came out with a jab for whooping cough. Doctor gave me the wrong one. Wtf (what the f**k)!"

State police say a 38-year-old Greenwich man was the person killed in a one-car crash off the Merritt Parkway in Norwalk.
Troopers have identified the person killed as Daniel Taylor. They say he was driving a 1997 BMW that went off the southbound side of the parkway and crashed down an embankment early Monday morning. There were no passengers in the car.
Authorities say Taylor apparently wasn't wearing a seat belt and was ejected from the car during the accident. The car caught fire briefly but a trooper quickly extinguished it.
State police say they're not sure why Taylor's car went off the highway. The accident remains under investigation.

TREASURE ISLAND — Just one year after a massive beach renourishment, the shoreline along at least a quarter of Sunset Beach is sharply eroding.
City officials recently received permission from the state Department of Environmental Protection to borrow an estimated 70,000 cubic yards of sand from the city's wide central beach area to rebuild the Sunset Beach shoreline.
The area most affected, according to Jim Murphy, the city's director of public works, extends south from Caddy's on the Beach bar and restaurant to about 77th Avenue.
Caddy's owner Tony Amico says part of the eroded area is a virtual "cliff" that drops about 6 feet.
Murphy could not confirm that description, but did say the beach is severely eroding, a process that accelerated about a month ago.
That was when city workers noticed that a jetty near the Sunset Beach Pavilion was starting to be exposed.
After last year's renourishment, much of Sunset Beach approached 150 feet in width. In many places, it is now less than 100 feet wide, according to Murphy.
Although the city has not been hit by any hurricanes in the past year, Murphy said there have been several major storms bringing a lot of rain and high surf.
"The theory is the missing sand may be sitting just offshore. Several residents report that the gulf waters appear to be much shallower than in the past," Murphy said.
He said the sand might naturally return to Sunset Beach, but is not willing to wait for that to occur.
The sand project will happen sometime in the spring, according to Murphy. In the meantime, the city plans to resurvey the beach profile on Sunset Beach and report those findings to the DEP for a final go-ahead.
The central beach area where the sand will come from is nearly 700 feet wide, he said.
Most of the sand will be taken from an area near the Treasure Island Causeway, close to the shoreline just south of the St. Petersburg Municipal Beach.
"Our goal is to restore Sunset Beach to an acceptable profile," Murphy said.

Out of the limelight: Sony announces the PS4 Pro and Slim
While most of the world is still busy with the announcement of the new iPhone 7, Sony has released two new versions of its flagship console, the PS4. They are the PS4 Pro and the PS4 Slim. These products are to be put on sale along with the PlayStation VR. The releases didn't surprise anyone as leaks had given the tech community enough foreknowledge. But perhaps the new releases where never intended to create that much hype anyways, as the specs will show you.
The PS4 Slim is, as the name suggests, slim. Slimmer, in fact than the standard version of the PS4. Its 13 mm thinner than the standard PS4. That's about it. It will retail for $100 less than it used to be. It looks slightly different. The edges have been rounded. It's nothing too eye-catching. Perhaps it was made to do the opposite, take up as less a visual footprint as possible.
The PS4 Pro on the other hand is a slightly better upgrade. It now has 4k gaming support, in addition to HDR output. Also, it now comes with a 1TB hard drive. Better graphics performance has also been promised. The CPU clock-speed has also been increased. Needless to say, backwards compatibility will be available. The PS4 does not, however, have a 4k Blu-ray drive. The PS4 Pro will cost $399.
Now here's probably the biggest catch, you need a 4k display. And if you don't its almost meaningless to upgrade at this point.
Sort of overshadowed by the release of one of the most anticipated devices of the year, the PS4 Pro and Slim seemed to lack luster. These devices have been announced months after Microsoft announced a similar slight upgrade to the Xbox One, the One S. The upgrades of the One S are somewhat divided amongst the two PS4 releases. The Xbox One S was announced with a slimmer build as well as 4k support, whereas, the PS4 Slim has one of those features while the Pro packs the other.

Will We Continue To Accept Lies From Washington?
Dear Editor,
Truth: Conformity with fact; also established fact. This is what is said in the Dictionary !
Politician's Truth: Anything that may get votes for the upcoming election. Damn, and disregard, established fact !!
Mark Twain said, "Seek out, and follow, those who constantly are searching for the truth; beware of those who claim to have found the truth."
Apparently most voters in America are not informed correctly about the Mark Twain quotation. Our voters apparently think he said to seek out and follow those who have never known the truth, therefore do not know how to tell the truth!
This past week has been a teaching jewel for poetry teachers who want to explain to their students the meaning of the lines of poetry from Walter Scotts', "Marmion". The famous quotation reads: "Oh what a tangled web we weave; when first we practice to deceive!" Watching Pelosi, Reed, Biden, the President, and even the representatives of the liberal press try to untangle the web they have been weaving for the past five years was almost hilarious if it was not so tragic. They are having difficulty putting the tooth paste back into the tube!
I have been told that some "white lies" are acceptable because they are told only to help or protect another. When lies are told with total disregard for the harm it will inflict on others, and are told only to farther the agenda of a political group, I personally consider it an act of Treason, and a grave felony. I am becoming ashamed of the American voters who have accepted this behavior of people in such high places. Why should our children choose to tell the truth when the President and all his subordinates don't follow the rules?
George Washington warned all citizens when he left office to be aware that one day " the power of the political party would become more important than the party caring for the needs of their citizens." What a smart and forward thinking man our first president was !!!
Wake Up American voter! Forgive those who make honest mistakes; forgive those who have human failings and want to improve and try again, but for God's sake quit voting for the bold faced liars who are looking out only for themselves and could care less about you !!

In The Wild With Team Husar; A Cause Served With Great Images
With compassion and empathy for our wildlife, Lisa and Mike Husar of Wisconsin are dedicated to educating us all about the importance of earth's wild creatures. Whether it is zebras at a watering hole in Kenya, a mother panda and her cub in China, or a polar bear with her triplets in Canada, photographing animals around the world has become their passion.
Common Zebra
Gracing the cover of the 2006-'07 National Wildlife Federation calendar,
a tiny owl photographed by Lisa grabbed my attention. The little guy, only about
6" long, lives at a wildlife rehab center, as he has a permanent injury
and cannot fly. He is also an ambassador who goes out on educational programs
that help people learn about wildlife.
A combination of her love for animals and a passion for photography lay behind her husband taking her on a trip to Yellowstone in 1993. Mike, a long-time photographer himself, encouraged her to "go for it!" He would remain in his jewelry business while Lisa set out to turn a profit in the field of wildlife photography, and would join her whenever he could.
Today Team Husar is among the most prominent producers of wildlife images
and is regularly featured in publications by World Wildlife Fund, the Sierra
Club, Defenders of Wildlife, and National Wildlife Federation as well as in
the Smithsonian Institution's Museum of Natural History in Washington,
"The intrigue and romance of traveling the world and photographing animals in the wild, though appealing, is a hard job, an expensive one and one that takes incredible patience and luck," Lisa says. "I don't always have a lot of control over the situation. Being at the right place at the right time, always at the mercy of the weather, and lugging around a tripod and a series of long lenses while hoping that the animal you choose to photograph will be cooperative, makes it all come together.
"You get some great shots and come home feeling good, but more often there's the frustration and you only get a couple of good shots or it can be a stinker of a trip when someone tells you, `You should have been here last week. The moose were in the pool, standing and doing a dance. This week there are no moose!'
Bull Moose
"The more you study and photograph animals," she advises, "the
more you are able to read their behavior. You want to know when that animal
is stressed and that you are not causing the stress."
This is not a wild guess, by the way. The photographer should be aware of the posturing and the movement of an animal and note when it is relaxed and minding its own business. When they begin to look stressed it's time to pack up your gear.
"Many times animals are as curious about us as we are about them," Lisa says, "and a polar bear will often come right up to our buggy to get a look at us and the funny stuff we are carrying."
One of my favorite shots shows her holding a sizable young panda in her arms. "There's something special about pandas," Lisa says. "They have a teddy bear look about them, an appeal. Pandas have a false thumb and hold the bamboo in their hands and when they eat they often sit up like we do and it gives them a human quality. Zoos in Washington, DC, San Diego, Atlanta, and Memphis rent pandas from China at a cost of about one million dollars a year--add to that a high maintenance fee for each panda. All of the money goes into panda conservation." The Husars belong to the organization of Pandas International that raises funds for research and education.
Adolescent Panda
Big cats like mountain lions are almost impossible to photograph in the wild
and most of the gray wolves that Team Husar photograph are born and raised in
captivity. Lisa is quick to add that it is rare that animals will attack unless
they are starving and a wolf attack is unheard of. "It is just not their
normal behavior to attack humans," she says.

Definition of Daddy's girl :) My Dad and I have certainly shared some special moments and have a bond that truly is unlike most father daughter relationships I know of. I'm blessed, I know. Yet again, I'm unable to be with family when occasion calls for it. Today my dad is in Cincinnati and I'm in El Salvador (yeah, i'm pretty damn far-stay tuned for el salvador posts!) There's not one person who doesn't absolutely adore this man. Thanks for always being the best Daddy a girl could have. I Love you, Dad.
And lets not forget my amazing hubby. No, we don't yet have any human children, but this rascal of a son is enough for now :) going on 10 months, we have our hands full and my husband is nothing short of amazing with him and the responsibility that goes with taking care of someone other than yourself.
I absolutely can't wait to watch him be a Daddy one day (to a human :)
Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful Dads out there!

Guy Branston will face Bradford City after all after signing a month's loan with Saturday's opponents Bristol Rovers.
The former Bantam centre half was an unused sub on the Aldershot bench during City's recent 2-0 win at the EBB Stadium.
But under-fire Rovers boss Mark McGhee moved to solve their defensive problems by snapping up Branston this afternoon on a short-term deal.
With centre half Tom Parkes injured in their 4-0 defeat at Port Vale on Tuesday, Branston is set to step straight in against his old club.

I recently purchased an Onkyo 875 for my Home Theater system. I currently have a pair of Mirage M1 towers being driven by an Aragon 4004 amp for audio listening. I would like to incorporate the Mirages as the front speakers in my surround sound system but I don't see a way to connect an external amplifier (the Aragon) to the Onkyo. The Onkyo has a "Pre-amp Out" but it is all (7.1) or nothing. I want the Onkyo to drive all of the other speakers directly but I'm afraid the 140W out of the Onkyo won't be enough to drive the Mirages so that's where the Aragon comes in. Unfortunately I need a line level signal into the Aragon and I can't find where to get one out of the Onkyo. I would appreciate any ideas. Thanks in advance. Bill
You are here
Check your Onkyo again. It has pre outs for each independent 7.1 channel, front left, front right, center, ect. So it's out of that into the Aragon. Recalibrate your channel levels and you should be good to go.
Bill C-
It does look like there is preouts for the front left/right according to the manual, which I downloaded from the Onknyo website at:
Page 41 briefly discussed connecting external amplifiers and does NOT mention anything about it being all-or-noting so you should be able to connect just the front left right preout to the inputs on the Aragon and leave the receiver to power the other speakers. On some receivers you have to turn on the preamp outs in the on screen menu system, but it doesn't look like you have to do that on this one. The manual also covers both bi-amping the speakers (page 23) and bridging the front and surround back to provide twice as much power to the front speakers (page 24.)
Using the pre-out works fine. I had read p41 in the manual but when it said "use the AV receiver solely as a preamp ..." and "connect all speakers ..." I thought it might be all or nothing. I should have just tried it but I just received the Onkyo yesterday and didn't want to blow anything. Thanks guys!
Give it a try, you'll be fine. If not, that what warranties are for . Just kidding, for it NOT to work the way that I've described would be a major, major oversight on the part of the engineers at Onkyo. They aren't known for those. I've hooked receivers from 10 to 12 manufacturers that way and they all work properly. They probably don't talk the specific application in the manual because they don't see a lot of people doing it (the audiophile fringe is nearly completely invisible to the big manufacturers) and they don't want to muddy the waters and confuse regular people needlessly.
I have the 2005 Aragon amplifiers 2000 and 3000 THX Ultra 2. I also have the Aragon receiver but am upgrading my theater room and need to upgrade the receiver to have HDMI ports and other updated features. I have looked at the Onkyo receivers TX--NR1010 seems to be the best as it mentions THX Ultra 2 plus. Would this allow me to run through my amps? Could I do this with the cheaper THX Ultra select like the TX-NR818 or 717? I have a 7.2 system. Thanks for any input.

Ricky Ray practised on Sunday, delivered the football with accuracy and moved well within the confines of the pocket.
But whether the Argonauts' No. 1 quarterback returns for this week's meeting in Montreal remains very much up in the air.
The optics were good, Ray looking as good as ever, but what is required is for the team's medical staff to provide its blessing.
Without it, Ray will miss his second straight game on Thursday after he hurt his left knee during a near-flawless performance at Winnipeg on July 19.
Club policy, under most circumstances, does not allow for injured players to be interviewed by the media. However, anyone who attended Sunday's session should have been struck at how comfortable Ray looked when getting reps, how virtually every pass attempt was in the intended target's hands.
Given the uncertainty and the redundancy of questions, head coach Scott Milanovich decided to keep Ray away from the media.
"I thought he looked good,'' said Milanovich. "He'll be meeting with doctors and, as long as the doctors give him final clearance, he'll be good to go."
Milanovich was unable to provide any updates because there were none.
"But I'm anticipating he's a go,'' said Milanovich.
Ray was wearing a brace, but it didn't look as awkward as the one he was forced to wear last season when he injured the same knee during a loss to the host Als, a setback that sidelined him for roughly one month.
From the moment he was injured last month in the 'Peg, where Ray completed 19 of 20 passes — the one incompletion the result of a dropped ball by rookie John Chiles — it was obvious his latest knee injury was not as devastating as last year's when centre Jeff Keeping accidentally collided with Ray.
For starters, Ray was able to put weight on his leg in Winnipeg. Unlike last year, he wasn't whisked to the locker room to receive additional treatment.
Following Toronto's win over the Blue Bombers, Ray walked on his own to the team bus, slowly, but without any support.
There's no way the Argos would risk losing Ray for any extended period, but at the same time, if he's given the green light by doctors, the decision to play Ray versus Montreal seems logical. His experience allows him to throw quickly when he reads blitzes.
The Als play an aggressive man coverage that requires pin-point accuracy and there's no one in the CFL better equipped than Ray.
"He really looked good in practice,'' added Milanovich. "He looked sharp."
If Ray is told to wait another week, his return will be against his former team, the Edmonton Eskimos, who pay a visit to Toronto on Aug. 18.
Assuming he had no ill-effects from practising on Sunday and assuming he gets medical clearance, Ray will play in Montreal. That much seems to be certain.
On Monday, Ray's status will be made much clearer, but Sunday was a positive step.
No knock against second-year backup Zach Collaros, who made his first career start last week in Toronto's decisive win over B.C., but the kid threw into coverage and, at times, looked almost too excited by trying to make plays with his feet outside the pocket.
No stage is too big for Ray and it's rare for him to throw into coverage.
Montreal is suddenly a desperate team in transition and a calming hand is what's required by the Argos. And Ray is the epitome of calm.
Curtis Steele had the entire town of Franklin, Tenn., on pins and needles last week when he made his debut in Double Blue.
So excited was Steele that he allowed the moment to get the better of him on Toronto's opening possession, a series that featured a fumble when he collided with QB Zach Collaros.
Steele settled down and into his role as Toronto's starting tailback, scoring two late rushing majors and earning a lot of acclaim back in his native Tennessee.
"The whole city was basically tuned in,'' said a smiling Steele. "After the game, there were so many text messages from friends, family and fans.
"What a great feeling. They always believed in me. I had finally made it. All that hard work pays off."
There's no doubt Steele can run and is very fast.
He wasn't used on any deep routes and, if Ricky Ray returns this week in Montreal, Steele must be perfect in his blitz pickups.
The kid certainly has a bright future, a player the Argos clearly covet because they kept Steele on the 46-man roster, even though Chad Kackert was the incumbent.
"Solid performance,'' said Steele of his debut. "You can always build. From here on out, you have to get better."
Two hours before kickoff, Steele felt overwhelmed and he slowly began to control his breathing.
"That showed on the first drive,'' he added. "I tried to stay calm and cool. It was my first time playing and it's now out of the way. It was everything I had expected."
Everything including the show of support from his home town.

Pegasus Players Theatre Company
Pegasus Players history began in June 1978, growing out of original student writings performed by both faculty and students at the City Colleges. Touring began in order to fill the need of the Uptown area and of groups, which had no access to live theatre. In 1984, the theatre relocated to the O'Rourke Center for the Performing Arts on the Truman College campus, located in the heart of the Uptown community. In recognition of Pegasus' commitment to the community, the City College system is making this modernly equipped facility available at no charge. Pegasus is, however, an independent, autonomous theatre company. In the past two decades, Uptown has emerged as the city's most ethnically and economically diverse neighborhood. Since beginning its residency at the O'Rourke Center, over 600,000 people have seen Pegasus' shows. This has created a unique partnership between a not-for-profit, community based theatre and a public institution, each using the other's individual resources for the betterment of the commu

Pound of Prevention, Ton of Cure
Weighing the Value of Public Health
By Jo Lynn Orr
UAB Public Health students helped bring visibility to their future profession by taking part in the "This Is Public Health" campaign, placing stickers on examples of public health in action around Birmingham. See more of their handiwork here.
Public health has an image problem. This is somewhat surprising, considering that the field has spent the past hundred years transforming American life for the better. In 1900, the life expectancy of the average American was just over 47 years; a century later, it was 77 years and rising. And according to a 1994 study cited by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 25 years of this 30-plus year gain in life expectancy can be attributed to advances in public health. Vaccinations, food safety, workplace safety, motor-vehicle safety, infectious disease control, smoking prevention—each of these public health measures has played a part in extending the lives of millions in the United States and around the world.

UAB Engineers Push the Boundaries of 3-D Technology
By Grant Martin
Bharat Soni and Alan Shih are exploring uses for UAB's 3D visualization technology in a wide range of fields, including rehabilitation, medical training, and homeland security.
Imagine a place where amputees can learn to ski without risking serious injury; where bomb squads can disarm explosive devices with no chance of casualties; and where surgeons can make perfect incisions and perform flawless operations—before they ever touch a patient.
Researchers in the UAB School of Engineering's Enabling Technology Laboratory have assembled just such a facility—a virtual-reality environment that can be used for a host of creative applications. This "visualization cube" is the latest expansion of the school's computer imaging and simulation capabilities, and it could lead to revolutionary advances in a host of fields, including engineering, medicine, rehabilitation, emergency management, and education.
The Dancing Doctor
In Step with Debora Kimberlin, M.D.
By Lisa C. Bailey
Dancer, doctor: After a full week treating patients at UAB, Debora Kimberlin often drives to Nashville for a weekend of dance lessons and competitions.
By day, Debora Kimberlin, M.D., helps high-risk obstetric patients at UAB navigate the difficult steps of challenging pregnancies. Most nights and weekends, she can be found moving smoothly through the steps of very different challenges—such as waltzes, fox-trots, and tangos.
Kimberlin says she fell in love with ballroom dancing the moment she tried it. In fact, she entered her first competition just six weeks after her first lesson. "I'll never forget going to that first competition and seeing the beauty of the sport," she says. "I was hooked."

The Original Graduate Reflects on 40 Years at UABBy Jo Lynn Orr
Ronald Acton has seen UAB grow from an extension center to a worldwide scientific power.
But soon after he was awarded a doctorate in microbiology at UAB's inaugural graduation ceremony, Acton was making history once more. In 1973, after postdoctoral training at UAB, the California Institute of Technology, and Oxford University, Acton came back to Birmingham and joined UAB's faculty, positioning him to take part in the rise of the university's research enterprise.
"My primary appointment was in the Department of Microbiology," Acton says, "but I had joint appointments in medicine, genetics, and epidemiology in the School of Public Health." Today Acton is an active researcher and adjunct professor of microbiology, and he serves on the School of Medicine's admissions executive committee, interview committee, and selection committee.
Acton also is writing a book on the history of UAB's microbiology department—a success story he witnessed firsthand. "Several years ago the department had evolved into the number-one National Institutes of Health-funded department nationwide," he says.

Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 31st January 1972.
Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that yesterday saw yet another tragic day for Ireland that will prove far more traumatic than was internment? May I express our sympathy with all the families of all the victims killed and injured, civilian and military, as a result of yesterday's events, and with the family of the soldier who died yesterday as a result of earlier events.
We welcome the inquiry, but it must be impartial, and it must be entirely judicial, to investigate what happened. Where did the fire come from? At the bar of world opinion it is important to know the facts. Without them there will be no progress in the talks. And, unlike with some of the other inquiries, there must be speed.
Does the right hon. Gentleman realise that we need also to know how it happened in the context of Government policy, as opposed to the events of yesterday? Was the decision to go into the Bogside a reaction to events, or was it the planned disposition of security forces? Who decided this? Was it the decision of the Joint Security Council? If so, was it with the full knowledge of the right hon. Gentleman and the Government?
I am aware that question and answer are not enough for this important topic, and I give notice that, at the proper time, I shall seek to move the Adjournment of the House under Standing Order No. 9 and move a Motion that we should debate the situation in Northern Ireland as soon as possible.

Eight chowhounds got together for lunch at this gaily painted Bolivian place next to Taqueria El Charrito Caminante.
If ever there was a place Chowhound was intended to uncover, Sibarita is it. Outside of normal mainstream media view, it is a family-run place serving simple, earthy cuisine with a flair in the kitchen.
We started off with two soups: the ubiquitous sopa de mani (peanut soup) and a special sopa de trigo (wheat soup). The peanut soup was normal for Bolivian restaurants - that is to say delicious- and the the wheat soup was a new delight for me. I really loved this soup and could have made a meal of it.
We ordered only four other dishes as Bolivian food platters tend to be humungous. We had a lamb silpancho, beef ribs (called a 'plato especial' on the menu), aji de lengua (normally a weekend-only dish, but since we were on the cusp of the weekend, we qualified). and a pique de macho ( a standard Bolivian dish of beef strips and sliced hot dog.)
I've had the beef silpancho here before, and I can't say the lamb tastes much different, so I would stick with the beef. They also have an unusual chicken silpancho on the menu. Not everyone will like silpancho, but when done well I think it's a wonderful dish, and they are quite successful at it.
SIbarita will not displace Luzmillla's as my favorite Bolivian place, but Luzmilla's is lunch only, so this place wins out for dinner.
Although there is no pork on the menu, they can make a puerco al horno with at least three days advanced notice. It is marinated for three days and stuffed with peppers. Sounds like Christmas dinner to me! (Spoken like a true Jew.) I will investigate.

Ugly face of UKIP: Sunday Mirror exposes racist and homophobic views of party members
12 Jan 2013 21:00 Official online "members forum" used to express extremist and offensive opinions on gay marriage and paedophilia
The UK Independence Party has surged to a record high in the opinion polls under its brash leader Nigel Farage.
But a Sunday Mirror investigation today reveals a sickening catalogue of racist and homophobic views held by some of its biggest supporters.
They use the party's official online "members forum" to express extremist and offensive opinions on issues ranging from gay marriage to bogus links between homosexuals and paedophilia.
Their outbursts are exposed as the party gears up against both the Tories and Labour in next year's European elections, with its flagship policy that Britain should pull out of the EU.
On the forum, senior UKIP member Dr Julia Gasper branded gay rights a "lunatic's charter" and claimed some homosexuals prefer sex with animals. She added: "As for the links between homosexuality and paedophilia, there is so much evidence that even a full-length book could hardly do justice to the subject."
The former parliamentary candidate and UKIP branch chairman in Oxford now faces the sack over her comments.
Tackled about her remarks yesterday, she said: "I'm not going to talk about them. It's none of your business."
Lecturer Dr Gasper is just one of many UKIP members who use the forum to vent their controversial views.
A concerned party insider passed on a selection of the shocking outbursts to the Sunday Mirror.
UKIP member Jan Zolyniak posted: "The evidence is quite clear that the percentage of homosexuals who molest children is very high and cannot be dismissed."
Approached outside his bungalow in Surrey yesterday, Mr Zolyniak claimed his comments were for "research purposes". He said: "I put those comments up on the website to get responses."
Another member, Douglas Denny from the Bognor Regis branch in West Sussex, used the forum to attack gay sex as "disgusting". He wrote: "What irritates me is they (sic) way they and their leftie, neo-Commie followers seem to want to force the rest of us to consider them as normal.
"I just wish they would keep their homosexual nature and practices to themselves and stop trying to ram it down my throat telling me they are 'normal' when they are not."
Yesterday Denny said: "Private forums and private posts should stay private. I have no further comment to make and don't wish to discuss it with a newspaper."
Another member complained about the impact of immigration on the NHS, writing: "I am informed by past media that Black Caribbean and not Black African have a higher instance of schizophrenia.
"I wonder if this is due to inbreeding on these small islands in slave times or is it due to smoking grass."
David Cameron has branded UKIP members as "fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists". Only last week he called them "pretty odd people". But UKIP seized a record 16 per cent share in one recent opinion poll and leader Nigel Farage now wants to join the PM, Labour's Ed Miliband and Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg in TV debates before the next election.
However, our revelations will be a blow to the party's declaration that it doesn't tolerate racists or bigots. Last night Labour called on Mr Farage to kick out members guilty of abusive remarks.
Vice-chairman Michael Dugher said: "There is absolutely no place for this kind of nasty racism and appalling homophobia in British politics. UKIP's leadership should condemn this in the strongest terms."
Mr Farage said his party did not tolerate racism, but it was against the Government's plans to allow gay marriage.
He said complaints about abusive remarks would be investigated. But party chiefs were clearly aware of the problem last week when UKIP General Secretary Jonathan Arnott banned a discussion on the site on gay issues.
He wrote of his fears that someone "is going to screenshoot comments and send them to a newspaper". In the last week, two UKIP members have been forced out of the party for expressing support for gay marriage.
Olly Neville, leader of the party's youth wing, was stripped of his post for supporting gay marriage in an interview on BBC Radio 4. Richard Lowe, prospective parliamentary candidate for Chester, says he was also forced to resign over the issue.
UKIP was founded in 1993 with a primary objective of withdrawing the UK from the EU. It struggled initially but following the 2009 elections, the party has 12 of the 73 UK seats in the European Parliament. It also has three members in the House Of Lords.
Although UKIP has not yet won a seat in the House of Commons, opinion polls place it above the Lib Dems and they are hopeful of a breakthrough in the 2015 General Election.
We do not welcome racists, insists Nigel Farage UKIP leader Nigel Farage said last night racists weren't welcome and vowed to investigate complaints.
In an exclusive interview with the Sunday Mirror, Euro MP Mr Farage said: "Anybody who makes racist comments isn't welcome. Anybody with a racist agenda has joined the wrong party."
Asked about racist and anti-gay views on UKIP's members' forum, Mr Farage said: "I have never even heard of these people. Julia Gasper is the only one... We've had problems with her and her position in the Oxford branch is not acceptable and is being changed. Her war against homosexuals is unacceptable."
Mr Farage said he would have to "look carefully" at remarks before giving his view but added: "Catholic doctrine could be interpreted as homophobic. If a comment was aggressive towards a group of people, I would condemn it. If it's people saying they are against gay marriage because they're Christian, I'd be more tolerant."

The vote whether or not to stay in the EU is the right thing to do - an open debate about Europe, good and bad, is long overdue.
My guess is most people who want us to leave do so because of social factors - mainly unfettered immigration - so this will be an opportunity for the pro-Europeans to clearly explain the economic reasons why we should stay in.
Personally, I like being able to shoot off to Paris at a moment's notice without having to get a visa. I like living in a melting pot. For me, if there are strong economic reasons why we should leave then I would probably vote to leave, but all the 'out' arguments appear shaped by Little Englanders moaning about Poles and Romanians taking over 'our' country. Which personally I think is rubbish.

At the American Library Association's mid-winter meeting in Seattle last week, discussion swirled around libraries and ebooks – as it has in the library community for several years now.
Access to ebooks for patrons is still a high priority and librarians are "frustrated with the pace of change," according to Sari Feldman, executive director of the Cuyahoga County (Ohio) Public Library and co-chair of ALA's Digital Content & Libraries Working Group. Librarians are also unhappy with library ebook licenses that are limiting or when ebooks are more expensive for libraries to purchase and the "ALA anticipates that continued, or stepped up, advocacy will be necessary in 2013." So look forward to that.
At the same time, librarians are exploring options to bring more ebooks economically to their patrons – like buying ebooks from indie authors or becoming community publishing centers.
More focus in the library community on ebooks – and, in general, frustration among librarians at the level of access they have to many ebooks published by the largest publishers – begs the question, do libraries need ebooks? Publishers unwilling to make it easy for librarians to buy their ebooks are forcing librarians to ask this. What do publishers want the answer to be?

A study of brown trout in Lochnagar found levels 10 times higher than in other northern European mountain lakes, conservation body WWF Scotland said.
Researchers from Spain and Norway, who examined four fish from the loch, were studying airborne movement of polybromodiphenyl, or PBDEs.
The flame-retardant chemicals are the by-product of high-tech industries.
Levels of chemicals found in the fish are not known to be hazardous.
WWF Scotland spokesman Richard Dixon said the pollution was able to travel thousands of miles due to prevailing winds.
Food chain
He said: "It is shocking that even remote parts of Scotland are contaminated with these chemicals.
"It is even worse when they turn up at one of our most famous locations, so closely associated with the Royal Family."
Dr Dixon added: "Once in the lake water they would have entered the food chain, eventually reaching the trout and anyone who has been eating them."
Experts examined lakes in Norway, the French Pyrenees, Austria, Slovakia, north west Bulgaria and Greenland - as well as Lochnagar.
The mountain, Lochnagar, which is near the loch of the same name, was made famous as the setting of Prince Charles' story, The Old Man of Lochnagar - which has since been dramatised for the stage and screen.
A spokesman for the Balmoral estate said he did not know how relevant the survey was or how harmful the chemicals were.
However, he presumed it was a worldwide problem.

How much is $7-billion to Florida schools?
It's the figure that has education lobbyists worked up into a tizzy. Under the proposed "super-homestead exemption," $7-billion for education would be stripped from the tax rolls over four years.
So what does this mean? Nothing, if you believe Republican leaders who have pledged to hold schools harmless. So far, they haven't produced any details as to how, and Democratic critics are lining up. Getting into the nitty gritty, the Legislature has run figures for how much would come off the tax rolls for schools in each county. Check them out here: Download Schools.pdf
Remember these numbers are likely high. They show what would happen if every homeowner who benefited took advantage of the new tax structure. The real figures would likely be less, because many would choose to stay with their existing Save Our Homes benefits. And while $7-billion sounds like a huge sum, it's worth considering that the class size amendment alone is costing about $3.4-billion in the coming year. Overall, Florida is spending more than $20-billion on schools.
One last caveat: A drop in taxes doesn't equal the cut in education money to your county. Florida has a complicated school finance system that equalizes spending across the state. Property rich counties aren't always the student rich counties, so their property tax dollars pay for schools around Florida.
Are you worried? Do you think the Legislature will hold true to its pledge to replace the money? Sound off, and let us know.
