New BBC show looking for cooks who think their skills are good enough to impress Mary Berry
The producers of upcoming series Britain's Best Cook is urging non-professional cooks in Grimsby to apply to be on the show

Mary Berry will be lead judge in new BBC series Britain's Best Cook
Mary Berry and Claudia Winkleman are looking for passionate and talented home cooks from Grimsby put their gastronomic skills to the ultimate test in a new BBC One series.
The TV favourites will front Britain's Best Cook which, as the name suggests, aims to find the finest amateur chefs in the country.
After leaving The Great British Bake Off last year, national treasure Mary is now returning to her first love of home cooking. With more than 75 cookery books to her name, her authority is beyond question.

After being announced as lead judge, Mary said: "I am never more at home than when I have my judging hat on.
"This series is going to encourage proper home cooking which I have always championed and I cannot wait to start. Claudia, for me, is the icing on the cake."
Strictly Come Dancing host Claudia was also delighted to be taking on presenting duties. She said: "I am over the moon to be part of this show. I'm slightly obsessed with Mary so will follow her around with my own moussaka for most of the filming. Apologies in advance."
Over eight episodes, the ten chosen contestants will need to demonstrate skill under pressure and individual flair, as they're asked to serve the most perfect version of dishes that define modern British home cooking as well as create their special take on well-loved classics.
The judges will be looking for dishes that define a new benchmark of excellence, whether it's roast beef with the perfect roast potatoes, an ingenious twist on chicken curry or an irresistible chocolate pudding.

Each challenge will reveal new tips and techniques as the competing cooks battle to prove that they have the skills and repertoire, technical ability, resourcefulness and creativity to get through to the final and be crowned Britain's Best Cook.
The show's production company KEO Films, which has previously produced River Cottage and Ottolenghi's Mediterranean Feast, is now on the hunt for non-professional cooks to have their cooking skills judged on national television.

"For that reason, we are looking for passionate and talented home cooks from Grimsby (non-professionals) who love making delicious food for their friends and family to apply for the programme."

EFFECTIVE psychotherapy
with an empathic style
What keeps you up at night?
Depression?
Stress?
Addiction?
Relationship issues?
These are the words we use, but words alone don't take into account the fullness of who you are - an individual striving to find happiness in your life in this often unpredictable world.
The thing is, it's impossible to see the whole picture when you're in the middle of the picture. That's where therapy helps.
Therapy offers you a broader perspective - to examine your thoughts, feelings, and ideas in a climate of curiosity and compassion, where together, we can create a deeper level of consciousness.
Therapy services include:
Individual psychotherapy for anxiety and depression
Relationship, marriage and couples counseling
Therapy for removing creative blocks
Clients will often acknowledge that they seem to have trouble "letting go." Well, it's hard to let go when you don't know why you're holding on.
There are reasons things have come to be the way they are, and these reasons often exist beneath the level of consciousness.
As a therapist, I try to enter your situation, as completely as I can, so that together, we may understand and appreciate how things are and came to be.
In the safety of a good therapeutic relationship, discoveries take place. From there, change can begin.
The relationship I develop with my clients is characterized by empathy and trust. My style draws from the philosophical, the practical, and sometimes the comical, with a unifying goal to maximize your potential and minimize your suffering.
I work with clients from 18 - 80, all of whom want change in their life situation and relief from the pains they endure.
Specializing in psychotherapy for creatives
In my career in the entertainment business, I have been an actor, writer, producer, director, development executive and story editor, as well as a screenwriting professor and published author.
These experiences allow me to share an informed frame of reference to the unique challenges that face creative personalities: writers, actors, directors, producers, and musicians who navigate a particularly stressful and unsettling world, trying to balance a challenging work life with meaningful personal relationships.
There are always ways to change your story.
As a primary therapist at an Intensive Outpatient Facility, my experience also includes a deep understanding of the particular issues that face clients who battle anxiety, depression, and mood disorders who seek or have sought relief in unhealthy attachments to drugs and alcohol.
My office is conveniently located at the crossroads of Beverly Hills and West Hollywood, minutes from Century City and Mid City. I have both evening and day time hours available.

The End of The Bird

While political and social issues were central to the mission of The Bird, coverage of music, art, theatre, film, and other cultural phenomena was also crucial, helping to cement the bonds of the many staff, contributors, and readers of the paper. As in other areas of commentary, contributors to The Bird wrote on these topics from their own unique perspectives.

The Bird is often remembered as a hippie newspaper. Although the paper covered countercultural movements and lifestyles, most of the people who contributed to and worked on the paper did not self-identify as hippies; rather, they saw themselves as engaged political activists. Nevertheless, the paper did chronicle the popular music and culture of the era, including that of the hip community that coalesced on "The Strip," a moniker given to an area of Peachtree Street located between 10th and 14th Avenue. One of the services provided by The Bird was its weekly calendar highlighting not only activism opportunities but also concerts, theatre productions, television programs, and other cultural activities of interest to its readership. Concerts could be as diverse as Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, the Hampton Grease Band, blues artists, or bluegrass festivals.

Bird staff also reviewed albums, concerts, theatrical performances, and other performing arts on a regular basis. These reviews included well-known acts such as Bob Dylan or The Beatles as well as local bands or up-and-coming performers in many different genres. Notably, Anne Romaine, a regular Bird contributor, was heavily involved with the Southern Folk Festival and recorded country music albums on Rounder Records.

The Bird would also interview musicians such as jazz musician Charles Lloyd or country stars Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton to discuss not only their music but their thoughts on political issues. Mainstream dailies tended to pay attention only to classical music other "high brow" forms of musical entertainment. The Bird filled that gap by focusing on the more popular genres and artists.

Sam Elliott: Blythe Danner Had Never Kissed a Mustache
By Bill Newcott, May 15, 2015 04:50 PM
Sam Elliott, director Brett Haley, and AARP's Meg Grant had a fun Q&A after a screening of
Sam Elliott got a standing ovation from a full house when he took the stage following the screening of his new film, I'll See You in My Dreams, at the Movies for Grownups Film Festival in Miami.
"It's very gratifying to play a role like this," the star, whose distinctive rumbling voice has made him one of the busiest commercial voiceover artists in America, told the moderator, AARP's Meg Grant.
"Otherwise it's mostly selling trucks and beer."
In a year that has been very good for grownup love stories ( 5 Flights Up with Diane Keaton and Morgan Freeman opened last week), Elliott, 70, and Blythe Danner, 72, play a 70-something couple who find each other late in life. His character is all for immediate romance; hers is a bit more reluctant at first.
Leaning back in his chair in the Miami Beach Convention Center's celebrity "green room" before the post-screening Q&A, Elliott said his on-set relationship with Danner somewhat paralleled the script's trajectory for the two main characters.
"Blythe and I had never crossed paths before this," said Elliott. "I'd just been a fan, like a lot of other people, from afar.
"At first I sensed a sort or nervousness from her. Of course we jumped right into it; we did one of the kissing scenes that first day. Blythe was whispering to me, 'I've never kissed a man with a mustache before.'
"I said, 'Well, you're about to!' "
I'll See You in My Dreams was co-written and directed by Brett Haley. Haley is just 31, but he has a remarkable ear for the cadences of grownup conversation and for the special kinds of insecurities that can accompany late-life love. Is it possible that somewhere in his creative mind there's an older person trying to get out?

"I'm a storyteller — I think I have a lot of people in me trying to get out," he told the crowd. "I'm trying to learn about the world and about people, and I think directing a film about people that you previously didn't understand is a good way to do that."
Sam Elliott tells a story from the stage.
Besides Danner, the film features an all-star cast of famous women, including Oscar nominee June Squibb ( Nebraska), six-time Golden Globe nominee Rhea Perlman ( Cheers) and Emmy winner Mary Kay Place ( Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman). It's an unusual environment for Elliott, who's known mostly for man's-man roles (see The Big Lebowski or FX TV's Justified).
"It was a change, and I liked it," he said. "Mary Kay referred to me as 'the Male Ingenue.'
"I've enjoyed all that masculine stuff I've done in the past, whether it's military or westerns or bikers or whatever. But the opportunity to play a real gentleman around a really incredible woman was a real pleasure, particularly when it's this kind of intelligent dialogue. It just seemed so real."
He leaned forward. The guy in I'll See You in My Dreams, he confessed, is a lot closer to the real Sam Elliott than the tough guys that made him famous.
"I think those other parts are total fantasies on some level. I mean a bouncer in a bar? That's not my game. Nor is a general in the military. There's some of my father in those roles, although I never got to know my father well; he died when I was 19."
In the early years of AARP's Movies for Grownups Awards, given each February in Los Angeles, true contenders for the "Best Grownup Love Story" category were hard to come by. This year the competition already is fierce — and both Elliott and Haley could not be happier about that.
"Late-life romance is real," said Haley. "It happens every day. People don't close themselves in their houses and wait to die. People are living their lives, and they have a desire to love and be loved."

Added Elliott, who has been married more than 30 years to actress Katharine Ross ( The Graduate): "I just look at this picture as every man's tale. It's where all of us are headed. My mom lived to be a week less than 96. She had a full life. She had relationships, she danced, she had a career as a schoolteacher.
"It's a shame that this hasn't really been addressed before in the movies. But I'm happy to be a part of something that is addressing it in a real honest fashion."

THIS! I still feel the Laundries knew a lot more & also helped him evade law enforcement when he first came home. All of my sympathy goes to the Petito's.
I agree. My husband even said he bets the skeleton was not BL. He thinks he has been communicating with his parents all along.
<modsnip>
So many unanswered questions.
My heart goes out to the Petito and Schmidt families.

You're right about Rite in the Rain, I used them for field work in Alaska where it actually was always raining, lol. I still have those notebooks decades later. But I doubt he would use something so utilitarian.
Why not? If it helps, they are also hip, if that's what you're getting at.

It's completely speculation - here, but also elsewhere. I suppose Gabby's family could sue for the notebook, on the grounds that it has monetary and other value to them.
Would the notebook, or anything else found in the reserve determined to belong to BL, be returned to his estate, ie parents? Or would it remain in an evidence box in the FBI's basement forever?

I don't hold any hope that he wrote a sorry note. Not Brian. He would maintain that Gabby provoked him, he being such a calm rational guy and her being OCD and all that.
the human brain perceives the world and experiences as a story, a narrative, much like a fictional work. We are each in our own story created by our own mind out of facts, perceptions, fantasies, bias and sensory input and a certain amount of programming from our parents and society.. In that story we usually rationalize anything bad we have done. so one does not have to be delusional or psychotic to write the story in ones brain from ones point of view and interest in justifying mistakes or bad acts.
Laundrie could have been feeling full on guilt or have structured the events in his head as the act of violence having been triggered externally (by Gabbie Petito). We should not blame the victim but there is nothing to exclude that he did, for part or all of the homicide.

I don't know about the US but in Canada, when the case of two teens on the run ended in suicide, there was a final report and news conference a few months later that revealed all the evidence, timeline, etc. I think homicide is a 'public' issue that affects the community, and police need to announce that they've identified a culprit, and how, even if he's dead. They also need to show they conducted the investigations properly. JMO
There was a similar Final Report issued following the investigation of the Las Vegas shooting. I'd expect there will be one here as well…not that it will ever answer all the questions.

I'd love to go to Australia some day! Thank you for letting me know about your crocs! Once the waters in lowlands recede in FL they return to the lakes, canals, etc. nearby. Rainy season is the only time we have waters rise. It is ending now so that's why some of that water was lower and it will eventually dry up completely for dry season.
We also DONT enclose pools in areas where crocodiles live so when it pours with rain it's not unheard of for a croc to end up in the backyard pool. FUN TIMES!

Brian did not evade law enforcement prior to his going missing. LE knew where he was. They could have picked him up at any time.
I do think it is possible Brian confessed to his parents at some point. If so, I expect that information to be shared with the media and/or the Petito family eventually. Might as well at this point.

Ok I will, he wasn't a criminal lawyer he handled real estate primarily MOO
Criminal law is listed in his specialties on his website if you look closely. And for those who are adamant and think its so suspicious they lawyered up and believe he's not a criminal attorney even though its listed on his website, then it supports the idea even more that the Laundrie parents didn't think anything sinister was going on

I don't agree that your feeling is likely accurate but that's neither here nor there. I just don't see that EVEN IF the Laundries aided Brian after the fact, that is something they can be sued for by GP's family. People keep mentioning OJ being sued by the Goldmans. But OJ was the suspected killer! And he was sued for wrongful death. I think it's a safe bet the Laundries didn't kill GP.

My own random thoughts of a civil suit weren't along the lines of wrongful death, as I agree the Laundries can't plausibly be found liable for Gabby's death, but I was idly considering other civil matters like intentional infliction of emotional distress (linked in prev thread) or I don't know, something related to the idea that they shielded him, helped him flee, and as a result he ended up dead instead of standing trial for killing Gabby. But as I mentioned also in the last thread, that would probably be a criminal rather than civil matter, and IMO they're unlikely to be charged even with evidence, because their son is dead.
The whole thing is so frustrating, in addition to be being tragic. I think it's normal for people to wish there was a way for someone to pay for their part in all this, however secondary their part may have been.
If it can be proven through data that the dates they spoke with Brian or last saw him don't line up that would be noteworthy.

I'm putting this out here again as an example of what bad legal advice can accomplish.
Brian could have been salvaged, but nobody surrounding him had the skill to accomplish that very simple task.
The law was on his side. He had an opportunity for mental health care and meditation upon it.
He had an opportunity to use solitude, with guidance, to heal himself.
He had an opportunity to build a new self upon a foundation of hard won forgiveness.
He had an opportunity to live a very long time and become a better teacher than he could ever have imagined.
Didn't anyone tell him this?
Sometimes, being broken down to nothing is the beginning of wisdom.
Brian was salvageable.
His life is a valuable lesson.

IMO SB was not a bad attorney and gave the same advice any other kind of attorney would. Please elaborate on why you think they needed a "better lawyer" .
There's the legal component and in a high-profile case like this there is a PR component.
The Laundries could have benefited from a lawyer with MUCH better PR skills to manage the public attention and announcements. The silence was deafening from a PR standpoint, caused even more suffering of the Petitos, and motivated tons of negative attention on social media… delivered right to their doorstep daily! Complete PR communication FAIL!! IMOO

The poster you responded to suggested that BL's estate be sued, not his parents. It would be an action to gain information through depositions, but it would be painful for both families. I do not think BL has an estate that would cause any normal lawyer to take such a case on contingency - they'd have to want to do it to help Gabby's family. Would a judge rule that the Laundrie parents could be deposed in such a case? I have no idea - but I'm thinking that wouldn't really work. The people who would need to be deposed would be SAR personnel in Wyoming, LE, coroner, etc.
Not sure at all what Gabby's family would gain from that, that they don't already have access to. Brian's full coroner report, I guess, if for some reason that is withheld.
There's hardly a point in suing BL's "estate" anyway, which probably consists of a skateboard and some clothes. I'd just let such a suit default into judgment for the plaintiff and be done with it. Legally, you do not have to respond to a civil lawsuit at all. The plaintiff then just gets a skateboard and some clothes. It's not even worth the cost of an attorney. jmo

Is it possible that Gabby's assets/estate were to go to Brian ???
She would need a will in order for that to be true since he is not her next of kin and they were not married. I'd be surprised if she had a will at her age (but I certainly do not know the status of her personal choices). JMO.

Thank you I saw your edited post. He did not throw Cassie under the bus, that was all media misreporting and misconstruing what she said and what he said in his texts.. His texts stated that brian saw cassie on sept 1. and the media reported "Brian stopped by cassies house on the way home from wyoming in gabby's van"
The other time media caused an uproar is saying cassie did not see brian after he came back with the van but she also never said that. This misunderstanding was made up by the media misreporting what cassie and what SB said. he did not throw her under the bus.

He still has an "estate"— it may not be of much monetary value, but everything he owned personally composes his estate.
Would his "estate" even cover the legal fees to file a civil suit against him?
True! I stand corrected! Although they can also just answer, "we have no knowledge" with no repercussions.

I suppose the most perplexing thing for me may always be this:
Brian takes the Mustang out to the Wildlife Preserve allegedly to hike. His parents go a couple of days later to get the parked Mustang and drive it to their home; thereby, leaving Brian without a way to travel when or if he decided to leave the Wildlife Preserve. How does one actively abandon one's own child?
I cannot make sense of that movement. I do believe had it been my child, I would have stood beside the Mustang until the FBI dragged me away with wild horses.
This has indeed been one of the most traumatic months spent in true crime. As a proud grandmother, it's difficult to realize that Gabby will never present her precious newborn babies to her parents for mine are truly mighty fine gifts.
May Gabby's sweet soul rest in peace.
I'm not convinced they did.
From the timeline based on links we already have
13th Brian takes the Mustang out to the Wildlife Preserve allegedly to hike.
13th CL goes to the preserve later the same day, to look for him per SB
14th CL & RL go to the preserve again & see the Mustang is still there but now has a ticket on it. They decide to leave the car there as he might come back to the car. He doesn't
15th CL & RL go to the preserve again & decide to bring the Mustang back.
Now see Bertolino's claim that he informed the FBI when BL didn't return the first night although they did not make an *official* missing persons report til later in the week ( formal)
Hopefully when the FBI releases more details to conclude their investigation, they will confirm some of these officially

If you are expecting a baby, you can almost expect to have acid reflux. It is estimated that as many as 8 out of 10 women experience acid reflux, some for the first time in their life, when they are pregnant. Multiple factors cause acid reflux in pregnancy, including hormonal changes and weight gain. These reflux symptoms are usually the most troublesome during the last trimester of pregnancy.
When a women is pregnant, an increase in hormones, especially progesterone, causes a decrease in pressure in the lower esophageal sphincter muscle (LES). This muscle helps keep the food and acid in the stomach, and when the pressure is decreased, it no longer works as well.
Acid reflux symptoms are usually the same for pregnant women as for the general public, and symptoms usually become worse for the mother-to-be after meals and when she sleeps. Complications of reflux in pregnancy are rare, since the duration is usually short. The reflux usually gets better soon after the baby is delivered.
Treatment for acid reflux in pregnancy may still be required, especially if the symptoms are impacting the mother's ability to eat or sleep. If the acid reflux is uncomplicated, but none-the-less annoying, healthcare professionals will most likely suggest a "step-up" approach to medical treatment . The "steps" may begin with lifestyle modifications, such as eating smaller, more frequent meals, having the mother lie on her left side when resting, and having her raise the head of her bed a few inches. If these suggestions do not provide adequate relief, the healthcare provider may move up to medications such as antacids or to H2 receptors. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have not been widely used in pregnancy, therefore safety data on this type of drug during pregnancy is more limited, and physicians may be less likely to prescribe this class of drugs for pregnant women.
As with any medical intervention during pregnancy, the safety of the mother and fetus must always be considered. If you are pregnant and are experiencing acid reflux symptoms, you should contact a medical specialist who is familiar with reflux during pregnancy such as a gastroenterologist or obstetrician.

DfE issues guidance on safeguarding students while working from home
The sector must prioritise the safety of students as the lockdown prompts them to spend the majority of their time online
The Department for Education (DfE) has issued advice for UK schools, colleges and other education providers to help them safeguard students who are learning remotely during the coronavirus lockdown.
The guidance states schools must revisit their child protection policies, and that they may have to seek support from other providers' safeguarding leads.
The government has acknowledged the stress educators face, what with campus closures and mass exam cancellations. Despite this, the DfE emphasises schools' legal duty to keep their students safe, but notes that the way "schools and colleges are currently operating in response to coronavirus (COVID-19) is fundamentally different to business as usual."
Some things, however, remain the same, including:
– When it comes to safeguarding, the best interest of children must always come first
– If anyone in a school of college has a safeguarding concern about any child, they should act immediately
– A Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) or deputy should be available during school hours
– Children should continue to be protected while online
The DfE notes that existing safeguarding measures will not accurately reflect these new working and learning strategies, urging educators (led by their DSL) to frequently review policies and procedures as the current situation evolves. Educators have been told that writing and annex/addendum summarising key COVID-19-related changes might be more effective than rewriting the whole policy.

The government has said the revised policy should reflect any updated guidance received from their three local safeguarding partners, as well as any updated advice from local authorities regarding children with education, health and care (EHC) plans or from children's social care. The news comes after education secretary Gavin Williamson announced schools would close to everyone except vulnerable children and children of key workers, which includes NHS staff and social workers.
As mentioned in the update, "Recently published guidance from the UK Safer Internet Centre on safe remote learning, could help plan online lessons and/or activities and plan them safely." Education institutes must consider how they will continue to support children who are not considered "vulnerable", and outline "what arrangements are in place to keep children not physically attending school or college safe, especially online and how concerns about these children should be progressed."
Young people are incredibly vulnerable when it comes to their online activity; according to research by Unicef, prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, children and adolescents under 18 accounted for an estimated one in three internet users worldwide, while 71% of 15-24 year olds were online, compared 48% of the world's total population. Those numbers will have increased during the digital transition spurred by the virus. The same report notes that 27% of girls and 20% of boys are frequently upset by violent content found on the internet, while 32% of girls and 33% of boys reported seeing unwanted sexual content online, highlighting a mere snapshot of the threats students are exposed to online.
The DfE's new guidance also lays out requirements for DSLs and deputies in the event of limited staffing caused by sickness or self-isolation.
It states that schools should have appointed a DSL or deputy on site, but the DfE recognises that this may not be feasible and instead advises that a trained DSL or deputy from the school or college must be reachable via phone or online video, or suggests schools share trained DSLs/deputies with other settings who can be contacted virtually.
Staff and volunteers are to be informed of the deputy or DSL who is on duty each day, and while the government accepts that CPD and refresher courses may not run in light of the growing crisis, it states that: "For the period COVID-19 measures are in place, a DSL (or deputy) who has been trained will continue to be classed as a trained DSL (or deputy) even if they miss their refresher training."

Georgia Championship Wrestling was a professional wrestling promotion whose self-titled TV program aired in the 1970s and 1980s on Atlanta, U.S., superstation WTBS. Though based in Atlanta, the company also ran live wrestling shows throughout its geographic "territory" of Georgia (the U.S. pro wrestling industry was a patchwork of self-contained, regional and sub-regional companies—there was no single, nationwide promotion). The territory was affiliated with what had been the world's top sanctioning body of championship titles for decades before, the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA).

This was one fun race! Riding the warm-up lap with the team, I was impressed with the exceptional NOBC turnout. Nine new NOBC jerseys made their debut for the 42-mile event that featured a new and challenging 6.1 mile course in Jackson, Louisiana. Although the much-discussed turn #2 turned out to be an insignificant factor, the climb that followed proved to be a crucial spot in many of the races.
At the line for our race were NOBC riders Troy Constance, Reggie Bresette, Howard Luna, Ken DiGeronimo, Randy Legeai, Brian Magendie, Jerry Morrison, Robert Miller, and Robin Robert. Starting out at a brisk pace, the pack negotiated the two key climbs on the first lap with a bit of caution. Jerry Morrison soon rolled off the front without much of a challenge, and with his teammates to monitor the pace of the pack, together with his hard effort, he found himself with a lead of well over a minute by the mid-point of the event. Guy Cross (Red Stick Racers), Scott Martin (Cajun Cyclists) and their teammates, not content to watch first place get away so easily, were visible at the front trying to minimize the damage, but appeared reluctant to make a hard effort so early. This situation continued for a couple of laps, with lead moto/referee Robert Massart shuttling back and forth between the break and the pack giving times. Then, with three or four laps left, Guy Cross attacked the Miller Road climb, causing much gasping among the group, and stringing things out badly. This was clearly a crucial moment in the race, and I strained to close the gap to him and Brian Magendie, who had matched him up the steepest part. When my vision cleared, I saw that there was a significant gap, maybe 10 seconds, behind us. Guy continued to push the pace, and as Brian and I weighed our options, Robin Robert bridged up to us and went straight to the front. With Scott Martin still way in arrears, Robin saw an opportunity and took a strong pull, encouraging our little group to get organized. With one teammate up the road and three in this 4-man break, we couldn't ask for more. Meanwhile, back in the pack, Troy and Howard were forcing Scott to do most of the work in chasing. As we turned off of Miller Road, our break had a good gap, and although we weren't going all-out, we worked together at a fast pace all the way to La. 10. Now the race had gone from being negative (trying to maximize Jerry's gap on the field) to positive (trying to drop Scott and Co. and set up a 5-person break, assuming we would ultimately catch Jerry, containing 4 NOBC riders). Despite our efforts, however, Scott and most of the pack caught us about half a lap later. As a result of the quickened pace, Jerry, who was starting to feel the effects of his long solo, was now clearly in sight of the fast-moving pack. On the other hand, Scott and a number of other riders, were clearly tired from the hard effort. Soon after the pack came back together, Jerry was caught and the pace, predictably, slowed considerably. With only two laps to go, the stage was set for a pack sprint among the surviving 8 or 9 riders. Jerry, however, had other plans!
On the final lap, the group rolled through the two climbs without much action until shortly after the turn off of Miller Road. With around 2.5 miles to the finish, Jerry made a gutsy move (again!) and jumped out of the pack, quickly establishing a 20-second gap as his teammates sat at the front. Coming around the third turn, with just over a mile to go, Jerry still had a clear gap, but Guy Cross and a number of other riders were picking up the pace. Just as we started the long, fast downhill prior to the last turn, Robin Robert exploded from the pack down the right side, opening a big gap. Brian and Scott were near the front, with me just to the left of Scott's wheel. I started to react, but hesitated, hoping that Scott would take up the chase, which he did. Now we are flying down the hill toward the final turn at 40+ mph, with Scott closing in on Robin. Just before the bottom, Brian rockets past on the left. Jerry is still clear, but the pack is closing fast. I jump hard to catch a bit of Brian's draft and we fly through the bumpy final turn. First through is Jerry with maybe 5 seconds, then Robin with Brian now coming past, and me on Brian's wheel. Everyone mashes hard up the steep turn and over the top with 200 meters left. Jerry is still away but Robin has blown up, passed by Brian, now with me on his wheel. I jump hard over the top and past Brian, wondering which sprinter, Guy or Scott, is on my wheel. Jerry and I are really hurting now. 50 meters from the line, I'm pulling at the bars and pedalling squares, just trying to make it to the line without anyone coming around. Just before the line, I passed Jerry, who held off Brian and the rest of the pack to finish second. The finish order: Randy Legeai, Jerry Morrison, Brian Magendie, Guy Cross, Stephen Katchur, Ken DiGerinomo, Scott Martin, Robin Robert, Dean Herbet, Sherwood Cox, Robert Miller and Reggie Bresette.
Everyone agreed that it was a great race and an excellent course. Scott, Guy and the other Baton Rouge riders rode a fine race despite being so outnumbered, and are to be congratulated for their noble efforts and competitive spirit. Ken DiGerinomo, who has improved rapidly this year, rode impressively in his first State Championship Road Race, and Brian Magendie as usual provided infinite horsepower at the front. It was fun.

Obama to Travel to Saudi Arabia to Discuss Security, Tensions.
The White House said on Monday that President Barack Obama will travel to Saudi Arabia in March to meet with King Abdullah to discuss a range of security issues in the Middle East that have caused some strains in the bilateral relationship.
The rare visit, which comes at the end of an Obama trip to the Netherlands, Belgium and Italy, will include discussions about "Gulf and regional security, peace in the Middle East, countering violent extremism, and other issues of prosperity and security," the White House said in a statement.
King Abdullah met Secretary of State John Kerry in November and discussed concerns about the unwillingness of the United State to intervene in Syria and recent overtures to its arch-rival, Iran.
Saudi Arabia turned down a seat on the United Nations Security Council in October, in a display of anger at the failure of the international community to end the war in Syria.
That month, Saudi Arabia's intelligence chief said the kingdom was looking at making a "major shift" in relations with the United States.
The United States and Saudi Arabia have long been close allies on military and energy issues.

AMMAN (Reuters) – Jordan's king on Sunday called for electoral changes to make parliament more representative, after Islamists boycotted last month's national poll saying rules were skewed against urban areas where they have most support.
Independents and candidates allied to Jordan's powerful tribal establishment, which is strongest in the countryside, won most seats in the national elections January 23, after the Islamic Action Front, the Muslim Brotherhood's political wing in Jordan and the country's largest opposition party, shunned the vote.
King Abdullah, who has close relations with the United States, told the opening session of the 150-member assembly, the first to be elected since the Arab Spring, that electoral rules must change to nurture multi-party democracy.
"The elections were held under a law that was not ideal … Therefore I call for revisiting this law and reviewing the electoral system in a way that wins consensus, promotes fair representation," the monarch told the assembly.
The elections were the first since the king enacted constitutional changes last year devolving some of his powers to parliament, which critics said had become sidelined as powers shifted to the palace and security forces.
But Jordan's tribal political establishment resisted the king's efforts to grant a higher proportion of parliamentary seats to cities dominated by Jordanians of Palestinian origin, who make up a majority of the population of seven million.
Jordanians of native descent enjoy preferential access to state jobs and government funds, although businesses owned by citizens of Palestinian origin are pillars of the economy.
Constitutional change came after protests against corruption and critical of King Abdullah. Though inspired by the Arab Spring, they were not on the scale of those that toppled rulers in Egypt and Tunisia and sparked civil war in Libya and Syria.
Jordan's native elite is wary of Islamists, especially the Muslim Brotherhood, with its demand for political reform.
The electoral law as it stands gives disproportionate representation to sparsely populated rural tribal and Bedouin areas – the bedrock of support for the Hashemite dynasty.
Only twenty percent of seats were won by Jordanians of Palestinian origin and their resentment could strengthen the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood, which has a strong following among poor Palestinians living in camps.
The Muslim Brotherhood says it is not turning its back on democracy but protesting what it called meaningless elections.
Abdullah said he hoped the emergence of parliamentary blocs in the next few days would allow him to consult with deputies for the first time before he appoints a new prime minister.
The king remains for many citizens the ultimate guarantor of stability in Jordan, whose neighbors include Israel, civil-war torn Syria, and an Iraq also riven by sectarian strife.

The Growing Tensions Between Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia closed its embassy in Egypt and recalled its ambassador as tensions between the two countries are at their worst in over thirty years. Protestors in Egypt have been gathering at the Saudi embassy for nearly a week, and things escalated so much that Saudis felt the need to close the embassy and bring their ambassador home. Saudi state television says the country pulled their ambassador for "consultations" after "unjustified demonstrations and protests" and "attempts to storm and threaten the security and safety of Saudi and Egyptian employees, raising hostile slogans and violating the inviolability and sovereignty" at the embassies in Cairo, Alexandria and Suez.
RELATED: Estimated Bill for the Arab Spring: $55 Billion
Why are they fighting? Ahmed el-Gezawi, an Egyptian lawyer, was detained by Saudi Arabia for allegedly insulting King Abdullah, he nation's monarch. The Saudi government says he wasn't arrested for insulting the King, but for smuggling over a thousand doses of Xanax into Saudi Arabia while on a pilgrimage to Mecca. Egyptians have been protesting for the lawyer's release ever since. The charges for insulting the king stem from a lawsuit filed by el-Gezawi against King Abdullah for the alleged arbitrary detention of thousands of Egyptians. He was convicted in absentia to a year in prison and 20 lashes, but wasn't informed of his conviction before making his trip to Mecca. Egyptians think the drug charges have been trumped up by the Saudi's to try and get back at someone who insulted the King.
RELATED: Prosecutors Will Charge Mubarak for the Deaths of Protesters
What's at stake? Egypt has a massive amount of debt. They're currently sitting on a $11 billion budget deficit, and they're trying to negotiate a $3.2 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund. Egypt has been looking to other Arab League countries for financial "assurances" to satisfy the doubts of the IMF. Egyptian financial officials originally rejected the loan last summer because they thought Saudi Arabia was going to give them a $3.75 billion loan. $500 million came, but there hasn't been anything since.
RELATED: American Students Arrested in Egypt for Tossing Molotov Cocktails
Will the protest continue, or are they making nice? The Egyptian government is desperately trying to make this go away. Hussein Tantawi, Egypt's military leader, called King Abdullah on Saturday and asked if the King would "reconsider his decision" to detain el-Gezawi, according to Egyptian and Saudi state television. Abdullah is expected to "look into" the matter over the next few days. In the mean time, the Egyptian government played like a country with a lot to lose and issued a statement expressing "regret" over some protestor's behaviour, and stated how they hold the Saudi's with "great esteem." Egyptian state TV also published a written confession from el-Gezawi, though protestors believe he was pressured into confessing to ease diplomatic tensions.

Mr. Kong Sing Tai was born on 7th September, 1966 in Sibu, Sarawak, Malaysia to Mr. & Mrs. Kong Kek Seng and is the oldest male among the seven siblings of sisters and brothers. Mr. Kong is married with five children.
Mr. Kong in his teenage years had already shown his talent and interest in the technical aspect of automobile modification and repairs and instead of pursuing his academic education, he began his apprenticeship at the age of 14, learning automobile repair and doing errant in garage. He has an aptitude in automotive work and learnt fast. He started his own garage in the late 90s and gradually branched off to specialize in modification of vehicle and servicing of heavy equipment.
That was the prime time for timber industry in Sarawak, there was a great demand for excavators in timber camps. The Japanese brand "Komatsu" was the best seller. It is undisputed that this brand of vehicle is good, however, our local terrain, weather and drivers are a great threat to the durability of the vehicle.
After servicing and repairing a great number of these vehicles, Mr. Kong decided to modify them and made them to suit our local condition. His modification was so successful that caused a shock to the Komatsu manufacturer in Japan after receiving feedback from the local dealers. A team was sent to work together with Mr. Kong in his workshop, by then he had expanded his business from garage to workshop and had had more than 10 workmen on his payroll. All this is history now. But today, Komatsu is continuing to be the most popular brand in East Malaysia.
Mr. Kong spends his leisure time in developing new thing. He has successfully made a farm tractor which has patented under Syaifar Tractor Sdn Bhd, a company which is under the family umbrella. This farm tractor is selling well in Sarawak. Presently, he has teamed up with a French company (private owned) in Qingdao, China to manufacture an upgraded version of this farm tractor for the Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia markets and now, he takes the helm of the family's trading company the Syaifar Realty Sdn Bhd.
To know him better, one has to read further into his family background and nothing is better than to know firsthand about KONG KEK SENG TRANSPORT SDN BHD, the company that was set up by his father.

Letters: Turning tolerance into respect, and lessons learned from Christchurch
More from Letters
Published on: March 22, 2019 | Last Updated: March 22, 2019 5:13 PM EDT
Women light candles at a vigil for the victims of the 50 people murdered in two New Zealand mosques. The vigil was held at the outside the Markaz Ul Islam Mosque in downtown Fort McMurray, on Sunday, March 17, 2019. Laura Beamish/Fort McMurray Today/Postmedia Network.
Re: 'Love starts at home': Vigil, Islamic Awareness Day promote unity and remembrance, March 10, 2019
What changes in the wake of a massacre? What follows after tears, anger, indignation, texts, social media storms, press conferences, vigils, events of solidarity, and clipped conversations end?
We return to normal life. That is exactly what happens. Every. Time. Where's the change? Where's the action? And, if you are wondering about the litany of these questions, I mean seriously wondering, then I invite you to find the answers with me.
Together we can make a change. And, I want to start with basics – the very basics.
Our words matter. Watch them.
Following the recent New Zealand massacre of 50 Muslims in two mosques, much has been said and done in our beautiful city, where living in diversity and harmony are not clichés, but actual realities.
I was at a community event when naturally this topic came up, and a nice gentleman asked me "why can't we have more tolerance?"
And, to which my instant reply was "may I suggest switching 'tolerance,' with respect?"
It was an epiphany for him. He got it, and appreciated it.
Tolerance by its very connotation is about unwanted things. We tolerate someone's bad breath. We tolerate the smell of garbage, we tolerate a loud phone conversation in a restaurant.
We don't get to tolerate those who don't look like us, dress like us, or speak like us.
And, the minute we replace tolerance with respect, we might even want to learn more about people.
Which brings me to my next point. Respect leads to curiosity, and curiosity is quenched with education. The more we learn about one another, the more we are able to stand up to racist rhetoric.
Whether it is against Muslims, Blacks, Jews, Sikhs, women, or anyone who is an easy target in today's world. Because, guess what? The target is becoming that much easier to eliminate and that needs to stop us short in our tracks. Now. Not tomorrow, not next week. Now.
As the volunteer communications director for the Alberta Muslim Public Affairs Council (AMPAC) Fort McMurray chapter, a non-profit organization dedicated to championing civic engagement and anti-racism efforts in Alberta, I take my service seriously in being a voice for everyone – not just Muslims. Cross cultural communication is not a conundrum. Truly all it takes is the desire to learn, and show up.
And, there are those words: show up. To the lazy, they are an admonition, to the learner, they are a desire. We have to be there for each other to cull what's plaguing this world: the fear, the ignorance, and the hate, which is killing us. And, that's not hyperbole anymore.
Australian journalist Waleed Aly put it aptly when he called the New Zealand shootings "slaughter by appointment." I'll never forget his words.
This terrorist systematically took the congregation down. He knew when the Friday prayers happened. He knew that deep in prayer, resistance to the attack would come too late and it did. They knew. That's the bottom line.
Basics would do it really, you wonder? Language, education, showing up? Really? I'm not naïve. I want you to try it. Who knows as you searched for answers – what you would find out – about your neighbours, about yourself, about all of us.
Kiran Malik-Khan, volunteer communications director for Alberta Muslim Public Affairs Council
March 15 has been the darkest day for New Zealand with 50 innocent Muslims killed and over 40 seriously wounded as they worshiped in two mosques in Christchurch.
White supremacist Brenton Harrison Tarrant, an Australian citizen in New Zealand, meticulously planned the attack. His hate-filled manifesto was uploaded to social media providing answers to his anti-immigration and anti-Muslim motives.
He spent significant time decorating his weapons with names of past villains who had committed mass murder against Muslims and broadcasted the rampage on multiple social media channels.
The act of mass murder of innocent worshipers was full of hate as he opened fire on worshippers during the holiest prayer of the week. Victims were shot repeatedly and among the dead were young children, academics and refugees who had fled violence in their home countries seeking peace.
This was the worst Islamophobic attack in modern times, and is particularly important as the suspect was radicalized online, and was connected through social media, transcending boarders. His live streaming of the attack has the potential of radicalizing more individuals.
Social media can act as a catalyst and can't be left unchecked; worshippers from a London mosque were attacked by hammer-swinging thugs.
There has been a significant rise in hate groups across the globe; in Canada alone, the CBC documented over 130 right-wing extremist groups.
Some, like the Three Percenters, are armed. Most are organized around racial ideologies while also targeting Muslims, Jewish people, immigrants, Indigenous people, women and LGBTQ communities.
Troublingly, the KKK has reported a recent surge in membership and, according to the SPLC and Data and Society Research Institute, neo-Nazi movements have been not only strengthening but creating cross-continent linkages through online platforms.
Social media and other online platforms have created a safe haven for individuals spouting hate speech. They are no longer isolated individuals, but now a community of like-minded people feeding each other's hate, resulting ultimately in radicalization. This spiral shows up, from Incels to ISIS to white supremacy.
Social media outlets need to take responsibility and ensure their platforms are not used to promote hate speech. These measures are integral to not only decrease the amount of hate speech online but preventing future attacks and radicalization.
The New Zealand mosque shooter was actively posting white supremacist and Islamophobic material without any red flags by social media companies or law enforcement agencies prior to the attack.
Law enforcement needs to do more to monitor and shut down these online hate groups and hold these individuals accountable, without hiding behind the guise of 'freedom of speech.'
As global citizens, social media users also have the responsibility to report hate speech to respective company and local law enforcement.
Many hate groups are organizing rallies or disseminating online hate material under the veil of free speech or by hiding white supremacist rhetoric amongst concerns around economy and safety.
Like-minded individuals who are fearful or struggling in their own lives cling to xenophobia and Islamophobia like a life jacket that will hoist them from their real or imagined precarious economic situation or identity crisis.
Political leaders and prominent community members buying into these messages, either out of ignorance or thinly-veiled support, cause immense damage by providing these rallies and hate groups legitimacy.
Elected politicians and community leaders have a responsibility to inform themselves of the issues and do research to ensure they do not associate with groups holding anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim views.
The bar is set low but we can and must do better. Politicians must call out hate and speak up against dangerous stances and misinformed views of immigration and religion that water the seeds of white supremacy.
Canadian Legislation to prosecute hate speech remains weak and enforcement even weaker. Hate speech, particularly online, is largely unchecked and unreported. Behind the safety of a screen, xenophobia and Islamophobia turns to hate speech and white supremacy.
The clear line from one to the other is evidenced by the bodies of the ever-increasing number of victims of mosque shootings. We cannot continue to wait until another attack by yet another white supremacist.
Tougher laws and increased enforcement are required to prevent incidents like Christchurch or Montreal from happening again.

Federal budget 'offers nothing good for Fort McMurray': Yurdiga	 McKay Métis asking Supreme Court to hear Rigel project appeal over...


Leslie Walter Claudius, India's most decorated Olympian, breathed his last at his home town Kolkata on December 20, 2012. Claudius, who passed away at 85, was one of only two players (along with the late Udham Singh of India) in the history of hockey to have won four Olympic medals. Claudius, a part of India's golden generation, won the the gold at London 1948, Helsinki 1952, Melbourne 1956 and a silver at Rome 1960 (where he was captain). His tally of four medals at the Olympics (along with Udham Singh) is the highest achieved by any Indian so far. So great were his achievements in his sport that the 2012 Olympics organisers had temporarily renamed Bushey Railway Station in London after Leslie. We salute you Sir.

Israeli Air Strike Kills Gaza Militant After Rocket Fire
Yuni 12, 2014
Palestinian medics transport a wounded boy after an Israeli air strike targeted a motorcycle to Kamal Adwan hospital, in the northern Gaza Strip town of Beit Lahiya, northern Gaza Strip, June 11, 2014.
JERUSALEM — Militants in the Gaza Strip fired a rocket into Israel on Wednesday for the first time since a Palestinian unity government was formed, and hours later Israel carried out a deadly air strike on the coastal territory.
The army said it had targeted militants in the Gaza Strip planning attacks on Israel. One militant was killed, residents said, and two other people were wounded.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the rocket fire into Israel, which caused no damage or injuries.
After past rocket attacks, Israel has said it holds Hamas, which had ruled the Gaza Strip since 2007, responsible. But this time Israel also criticized Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, whose authority had been limited to the West Bank until the unity deal was reached.
The official Palestinian WAFA news agency said Abbas condemned the attack and called on all Palestinian factions to hold their fire and "not give Israel any pretext" to strike in the Gaza Strip.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement that Hamas "continues to plan terror attacks against Israeli citizens even when it is in the Palestinian government."
He said Abbas was obliged to disarm the Gaza factions of their weapons.
After the unity government was formed last week, Abbas pledged its continued commitment to existing interim peace deals with Israel. Israel said the administration was a front for Hamas, a group that advocates its destruction, and suspended peace negotiations with the Palestinian leadership.


The local stock barometer ended an eight-day run-up on Monday, dragged lower by a sell-off in emerging markets amid concerns on tightening credit in China.
The main-share Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) tumbled by 109.80 points, or 1.78 percent, to close at 6,081.61. Investors pocketed gains alongside gloomy sentiment across regional markets. Adding to concerns out of China was an upcoming Federal Reserve meeting.
The worst hit counter was the sub-index for holding firms, which fell by 135.32 points, or 2.41 percent. The financial, industrial, services and property counters slipped more than 1 percent.
Value turnover for the day stood at P6.8 billion. There were five decliners for every gainer in the market.
Credit Agricole CIB said heightened worries over the recent emerging market selloff would indeed weigh on sentiment. As credit conditions in China tightened, jitters over emerging markets escalated. There were talks of a trust product in China that might default this month.
Investment bank Merrill Lynch said the underlying problem in China was a corporate sector insolvency issue, expecting many more products threatening to default over time.
"We suspect that, at a certain point, the involved parties will be either unwilling or unable to bail them out, which may trigger a credit crunch. The government's attitude is critical," Merrill Lynch said in a research note, adding this could be a systemic problem.
