A notorious yob who damaged five cars as he tried to flee from officers - ramming two police cars, an ambulance and a parked car in a stolen van – may avoid jail if an assessment to treat his heroin addiction is successful.
Career criminal Darren Carter-Moore, aged 31, was arrested on June 2 after he left a trail of destruction in Manor Street, Stonehouse.
A strip-search at the police station found two wraps of heroin "concealed under his foreskin".
Judge Paul Darlow, heard from prosecutors how Carter-Moore, who now describes himself as being of no-fixed-abode, pleaded guilty at Plymouth Magistrates' Court for dangerous driving, aggravated vehicle taking, driving whilst disqualified, damaging property, possession of a class A drugs, failing to provide a sample and driving without insurance.
The court heard how a VW Transporter worth £12,000 was stolen from outside a house in Constantine Street, Greenbank on the evening of May 30 after keys went missing the week beforehand.
The vehicle also contained around £3,000 worth of tools.
At around 2.37am on Sunday June 2, a single-crewed officer Pc Bishop spotted the black VW Transporter in Manor Street, described as a dead-end street.

Using his marked Vauxhall Astra he positioned the his car to try and block the VW Transporter in, but Carter-Moore, who was driving the vehicle, reversed it into the police car.
A second Vauxhall Astra police car arrived, with two officers Pc Dolling and Pc Hughes, and they also tried to position their car to prevent the VW Transporter leaving. However, Carter-Moore drove forward smashing into the second police car and hitting the side of a parked silver Peugeot 206.
By this stage Pc Dolling recognised Carter-Moore and his passenger, Brian Gunningham, who leapt from his seat and ran off down the street.

Prosecutor Ed Bailey told the court that Lee Smith, driving an ambulance, saw what was happening and also tried to block the road – but 31-year-old Carter-Moore drove the stolen van into the front of the ambulance.
Pc Dolling and Hughes were forced to climb out of their police car via the passenger seat door and by this stage Carter-Moore revved the VW's engine and drove forward, with smoke billowing out of its engine compartment.
All three officers positioned themselves around the van as one smashed the side window and pointed a Taser at Carter-Moore, who jumped out the passenger door. He was grabbed and handcuffed before being arrested and cautioned.

Mr Bailey told the court Carter-Moore then remarked: "It's just a game and you won this time."
He was strip-searched at Charles Cross police station custody suite where officers found two wraps of heroin "concealed under his foreskin", amounting to 0.97 grams, with a street value of £97.
Carter-Moore refused to be breathalysed or provide a sample and when he was taken the charge room he punched the perspex screen protecting a computer, damaging it.

Mr Bailey told Judge Darlow that Carter-Moore replied "no comment" throughout his interview.
One of the police vehicles suffered £1,378.86 damage, the second suffered £3,506 damage while the VW Transporter suffered £9,505 worth of damage. The court heard that as yet there was no invoice in relation to the ambulance, but the Peugeot was "beyond economic repair".
Judge Darlow heard that Carter-Moore had 41 previous convictions from 99 offences, including a number of offences of dangerous driving and disqualified driving.
In mitigation, his advocate Katie Churcher said Carter-Moore had pleaded guilty and since he had been on remand was "scripted" - meaning that he had a prescription for a heroin substitute.
She noted that Carter-Moore's girlfriend was at the back of the court and their child was due in October.

The possibility of a Drug Rehabilitation Requirement was put forward, although Judge Darlow asked what evidence there was that Carter-Moore was "serious" about completing the DRR, noting that he completed one in 2012.
Ms Churcher said Carter-Moore's girlfriend has had a "stabilising effect" on him, but after hearing from the 31-year-old that they had been together for a year, Judge Darlow observed that she had not had much of a stabilising effect on him in June – to which Carter-Moore replied "I'm getting there slowly".

Judge Darlow accepted that Carter-Moore should undergo a DRR assessment to be carried out by the Probation Service, but warned him that there was "no guarantee that the inevitable" - meaning jail - would not happen, regardless of the assessment outcome.
Carter-Moore was remanded into custody and will next appear at Plymouth Crown Court for sentencing on August 9.

As she left the court, Judge Darlow noted that Carter-Moore's girlfriend wore a T-shirt with the words Be Kind printed on the front, asking if it was a message for him.
She replied, thanking him for giving her boyfriend opportunity at redemption and intimated that if Carter-Moore did not change "mend his ways" she would "kill him... but not literally your Honour".

As far as Biblical figures go, we have a bone to pick with everyone from Adam to Jesus (ESPECIALLY Jesus). There's one exception: Moses. Hard to nitpick Moses. Sure, he's the reason we have to eat matzah for the next week. But that's a small price to pay for Exodus. Exodus... Good times.
So how could we deny Moses the perfect Jew Score? Let's start at the K (kvell). An obvious 5/5 here. Sure, his navigational skills were lacking once he got out of Egypt, and talking to firewood is a bit... eccentric, but we'll let it go. Seriously, Exodus... Good times.
The I (internal) Score is clearly a 5/5 too. After all, Moses traces his roots all the way back to Abraham. Can't get more Jewish blood than that.
So we get to the O (outside) Score. And here... yep, here we have to knock a point off perfection. You see, Moses wasn't exactly raised Jewish, with the Pharaoh as an adoptive father and all. Sure, for the rest of his life he was an exemplary Jew, but how can we give a perfect O Score to someone who didn't even know he was a Jew until he was an adult?
Still, 14/15 is not too shabby. Now, it's no Mel Brooks, but then again, who is?


Yoshinori Ono took the stage during Sony's conference just moments ago to follow up one of last year's biggest surprise announcements – Street Fighter X Tekken. Not only will the game mark the first time the two legendary franchises come together, but the fight will be coming to the Vita.
LOL, maybe he's been training with Mortal Kombat's Kratos.
But Cole is too different, it feels wrong but hillarious lol!
Yeah, he looks buff as hell.
I was so shocked when they announced this. This looks way better than the 3ds version of SSF4 . The background actually has animations. Im definitely buying the Vita. It just blew me away with all of its titles.
Sony just won the handheld and the console..
ooooo can you also provide lottery numbers??
Looks way better then the 3DS.
They must be in the alpha stages in terms of developing it for the vita. The gameplay looked fun and not what Id expect from a Tekken game, guess they took some of that SF fighting style and included the tekken fighters with their own set of moves...and well, while nothing is conclusive at this point, its all assumptions.
Its SF X Tekken. The whole premise behind the game is Tekken and SF characters with the fighting style of SF.
Kratos in Mortal Kombat, now Cole in SF x Tekken. Makes you wonder if Sony could put together a PlayStation brawler similar to Nintendo's Smash Bros. series.
My only question is where is MK for this beast I mean they have had dev kits plus it would be the easy touch screen fatality game. MK would be perfect. This looks very good on that OLED screen. It looks better here than the previews on consoles.
Cole will take on ALL comers. Guile, Chun Lee, Anna, Lee, Jin, Paul, Blanka, Ken, Ryu. Come on he'll take you all down. And I'm not talkin' downtown. I'm talkin' six feet under.


My friend, Andy and I recently visited Lockhart, Texas, the county seat for Caldwell county. First order of business was to enjoy some fantastic barbecue. Our first stop was Black's Barbecue and they didn't disappoint. We were also treated to a personal tour of the pits by pit master Kent Black (see photos below). Kent shared with us the history and origins of Black's Barbecue. We learned everything from the kind of wood they used to the smoke the meats (Post Oak aged no less than a year) to how the restaurant began. If you're in central Texas and enjoy good BBQ, Black's definitely worth a visit (as I'm sure are the many other fine barbecue establishments in Lockhart).
After the great lunch at Black's, we set off exploring the town. I found Lockhart to be a beautiful town full of wonderful people. Kent was just the first of many friendly folks we encountered that day. Everyone was very welcoming. The bailiff unlocked the courtroom for us to go in and photograph. A gentleman at the First Christian Church unlocked the church so we could photograph inside as he told us about the history of the renovations. The folks at the library invited us to come back for a Dickens celebration in December. A shopkeeper at a local 50's style soda fountain chatted with us about the recent Formula 1 races in Austin. Everywhere I turned, friendly and welcoming folks wanted to share what they knew and welcome us into their world. Never before have I felt so welcomed by so many strangers in one day. Anyway, Andy and I stuck around for twilight to photograph the courthouse all lit up and with a vivid blue sky. I'm glad we did.

Former Commissioner Mike Tranghese On WFAN: Big East In Survival Mode
Filed Under:ACC, Big East, John Swofford, Madison Square Garden, Michael Tranghese, Mike Francesa, Pitt, Syracuse, WFAN
(AP Photo/Henny Ray Abrams)
NEW YORK (WFAN/AP) – Former Big East commissioner Michael Tranghese said the league was in "survival mode" after losing Syracuse and Pitt to the ACC, the second time in six years the ACC has poached teams from the Big East.
Tranghese joined Mike Francesa on Monday for a frank interview regarding the state of college athletics.
Listen: Michael Tranghese with Mike Francesa on WFAN
"College athletics is controlled by football and controlled by money," Tranghese said. "We've lost all senses of loyalty."
"The ACC has its reasons for expanding. They want to get better in football, so they take Syracuse and Pitt for their football."
The trend toward 16-team superconferences picked up steam when the ACC announced it was officially picking off the two longtime Big East schools to continue cannibalizing its northern neighbor. Virginia Tech, Miami and Boston College had already left the league for the ACC in recent years, and now the Big East is left trying to hang on to its remaining football members and find a way to survive in an ever-changing college sports landscape.
And it could get even worse for the conference.
The Big East will be down to six football schools, most of which are actively seeking another conference. UConn and Rutgers will likely be additional targets of the ACC.
"The ACC is going to come for two more teams," said Tranghese.
Tranghese was not happy that ACC commissioner John Swofford, shortly after snagging Syracuse and Pittsburgh, openly discussed moving his league's basketball tournament to Madison Square Garden, where the Big East Tournament has been a staple for 27 years.
"The idea [of bringing the ACC tourney to MSG] makes me want to throw up."
How do you feel about the move and the state of college athletics?

Senator Mitt Romney, (R-UT), responded on Monday to President Trump's controversial tweets to the far-left freshman Congresswomen.
Romney tweeted, "The president's comments were destructive, demeaning, and disunifying. The President of the United States has a unique and noble calling to unite the American people – of all different races, colors, and national origins. In that respect, the president failed badly." He continued, "People can disagree over politics and policy, but telling American citizens to go back to where they came from is over the line."
First off, no one cares what Romney thinks anymore. Second, there is no possible way to unite the four racist, America hating Congresswomen with anyone other than their leftist followers. The attack on Trump being "disunifying" for his criticism of Congresswomen, who want to fundamentally change America and believe it was founded on racist and bigoted principles, is based on the assumption that there should, in fact, be universal unification. Trump's tweets on this subject unify the people who love America and want to make it a better place through the principles America was founded on; people who want to build America up instead of people who want to tear it down and create something new.
Romney's remarks were prompted by President Trump's twitter attack on the "squad," which consists of freshman congresswomen Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI).
Trump tweeted, "So interesting to see 'Progressive' Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run. "Why don't they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime-infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it is done. These places need your help badly, you can't leave fast enough. I'm sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!"
Jonathan T Gilliam's background as a Navy SEAL, Federal Air Marshal, DHS advisor, and Special Agent with the FBI, speaks volumes and has provided a firm foundation for spot on analysis as he now serves in media as a network news law enforcement.

The 5 Best Things to do in Southern Vatnajökull National Park, Iceland
At 13,600km² (just over 5200 square miles), Vatnajökull National Park in Iceland is the biggest national park in all of Europe - there's a lot to do, so read on to discover the best activities in its southern half.
Established in 2008, the park brought together many different areas that surround Vatnajökull, the glacier that covers 12% of Iceland. There's no other national park on earth that offers such a mixture of volcanic activity, glaciers, mountains and geothermal energy. Here are the 5 best things to do when visiting the area.
1. Skaftafell
The area known as Skaftafell used to be its own national park, until it was combined with the glacier Vatnajökull, Jökulsárgljúfur National Park in the north, and a few other areas and made to fall under the one umbrella - Vatnajökull National Park. This area is the favourite of many Icelanders, and for good reason – it has some of the most favourable weather conditions in the whole country, and amazing scenery to match.
A quick stop-off at the informative visitor's centre and you'll quickly realise the area has a wealth of hiking trails. The most popular route to take is to visit the waterfall Svartifoss, a beautiful waterfall cascading over cliffs of black basalt columns. The route is about 1.5 hours return, and suitable for every level of fitness, but the end of the trail near the waterfall can get a bit muddy. From here, you can either turn back or continue to the viewpoint Sjónarnípa with amazing views out over the glacier tongue. Even more trails wind their way through the area, so for details about what to do ask as the visitor's centre.

2. Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon
Perhaps the most popular attraction along the south coast, Jökulsárlón is a massive lagoon at the base of the Vatnajökull Glacier. Fed by one of the glacier tongues, large chunks of glacier ice are forever breaking off into the water, chaotically floating around until being washed out to sea. The vast lagoon is also home to seals, playing around in the water and often popping their heads up to check out the humans. One of the most popular things to do is to go out sailing amongst the ice, throwing you in the middle of this surreal world.
Across the road is the coast, a beautiful stretch of black sand called 'Diamond Beach'. Washing up here on the sand are the chunks of glacier that float out to sea before being sent back to shore by the tide. Large chunks of ice rest on the black sand, slowly shaping themselves into beautiful natural sculptures. A walk along the Diamond Beach is a must on a visit to the area.
Fjallsárlón is another glacier lagoon, much smaller but also less crowded. Offering boat tours as well, this is also a nice area to check out. If you're an avid hiker, there is a trail that leads between the two lagoons; it will take about 5 hours return, but along the way you'll leave the crowds behind and have some astounding views all to yourself.

3. Ice Caves and Glacier Hikes
During the winter time, underneath the behemoth Vatnajökull it freezes over enough to form the most majestic caves made completely from ice. Expeditions into these caves is an unreal experience that explores the natural formations of the glacier. Awaiting inside is a wide spectrum of electric blues, from bright to dark, and an unforgettable experience.
Another great activity to get up close and personal with Europe's largest ice-cap is to go for a guided glacier hike across the ice. Guides who grew up in the area impart their wisdom and knowledge about the glacier as you tramp across the ice-cap, peering into crevasses whilst on the way to a lookout point, affording you astounding views.

4. Snæfell Wilderness Area
Snæfell is the name of the tallest mountain in Iceland that is currently not underneath a glacier cap. The mountain and the plains surrounding it are famously known as the grazing grounds for the Icelandic population of reindeer, introduced from Norway in the late 18th Century with the intentions of farming them. This never caught on, and now the wild population of the reindeer roam across the East of Iceland, in the summer months heading up closer to the highlands to this region.
A large amount of undiscovered hiking trails make their way through the area, taking you far off the well-beaten Icelandic path to discover your own small part of the country. Aside from sighting the herds of reindeer, you'll find all of the usual natural sights on offer as well; waterfalls, hot springs, and great views of glaciers glinting in the distance.
5. Snowmobiling
For an injection of adrenaline, book yourself a snowmobiling tour for on top of the glacier. Driving up onto Vatnajökull glacier in a super jeep before transferring to a snow cat is a great experience, but it won't be until you're flying at 30 miles per hour/ across the compacted snow and ice with nothing but the glacier horizon in front of you that you'll know what a rush feels like.
Tours leave from various points around the glacier, taking you up to various parts of Vatnajökull to go riding. Stops are made along the way for photos of the far away coast line and for Q and A sessions with the guides about the glacier itself.

Argentina Develops Therapeutic Vaccine To Combat Lung Cancer
BUENOS AIRES – Argentine writer Julio Cortazar once wrote: "Hope belongs to life, it is life defending itself." This sentiment accompanies news of the first therapeutic vaccine against advanced lung cancer available to patients, which was discovered by an Argentine research team.
Indeed, Argentina will be the first country where the vaccine, called "Racotumomab," will be available starting in July after it was approved by Argentina's National Administration of Medicines, Food and Medical Technology (ANMAT).
The vaccine does not prevent lung cancer. It is meant as a complement to conventional therapies such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy, and helps combat the cancer by activating the body's immune system. As such, it will help treat one of the toughest cancers, which causes 9,000 deaths per year in Argentina alone. It was designed and developed in Argentina with the participation of Cuban researchers over the past 18 years.
"When we started researching, our goal was to develop biological therapies that use the body's immune system to fight cancer. We thought the product would be ready in five years, but it was much more difficult than we imagined. Still, we continued on. When we look back today, we can see it's been a long road," said Silvia Gold, co-head of the Grupo Insud, the consortium that developed the vaccine.
The consortium involves researchers from the public and private sector, including the Quilmes National University, Angel Roffo Institute of Oncology, Garrahan Pediatric Hospital, CONICET, Buenos Aires University, the Center of Molecular Immunology in Cuba, and Argentinian pharmaceutical company Elea Laboratories.
Mimicking the tumor's antigens
Since the beginning of the project to the completion of clinical trials, more than 100 people from different fields have been involved – from molecular biologists to clinical oncologists. It is now patented in Argentina, the European Union, and the United States. It will soon be available in Brazil and other Latin American countries, as well as, India, Taiwan, South Korea, and Malaysia among others.
It all began with the study of substances called antigens, which are only found in human tumors. Given that they are not found in healthy cells, researchers thought that they could be targeted in a therapy to defeat tumors and prevent their dissemination. From then on, the researchers concentrated on the development of a vaccine that could awaken the immune response in cancer patients and attack cancer cells. They made it so that the immune system would start to recognize the tumors as "strangers."
The vaccine is an antibody that mimics the tumor's antigens. Thus, "it makes the immune system work and act against the tumor, without affecting healthy cells. It produces cells and antibodies targeted against the tumor cells. This was demonstrated through in vitro and mice studies. We then went on to the clinical trials with volunteers in three stages," explained Daniel Alonso, director of molecular oncology at the University of Quilmes and scientific director of the consortium that developed this vaccine.
Clinical trials involving 600 patients showed that the therapeutic vaccine can triple the percentage of patients who live two years after its application, compared to the control group that only received radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Besides the ANMAT's approval for its commercialization, the vaccine will be presented by Elea's medical director Roberto Gomez at the annual congress for the American Society of Clinical Oncology.

Trips, visits and othe...
Emma Chaplin
A visit to Landport Community Garden
I'd been wanting to visit the Landport Community Garden for a while (garden, not allotment note - that's intentional. They do grow fruit and veg, but they're happy for people to come along who just want to enjoy the space, perhaps make tea. You don't HAVE to garden to become a member).
A good reason to visit cropped up when we were thinking about the camping toilet we have on our Community Allotment, and wondering about the possibility of fundraising for a Thunderbox composting toilet.
I go along to meet David Gray, who got a group of people together to create the lovely walled garden five years ago, from what had basically been scrub land. He's pictured above with his beloved pond.
The first striking thing about the garden is the location. I assumed it would be part of the Landport allotments, but it's not. It's tucked away out of sight through a blue gate next to Landport Farmhouse at the end of Hayward Road.
I really like the peace and tranquillity here. I also like the pond, the arbour, the lawn with chairs, the fruit trees and the raspberry stakes along one wall. The bug hotel is very Lewes and fun, and the scarecrows make me smile.
David shows me round, including a peak into the Thunderbox composting toilet. It's wooden, self-assembly and up some steps (the company can do wheelchair accessible ones, but there are a lot more expensive). It's very nice. There is no smell whatsoever.
David explains that, over the years, they've had financial support from the Council and the National Lottery as well as donations. This has enabled them to create raised beds, similar to ours, as well as add a polytunnel, a shed and a shelter. Probationers helped build some of the raised beds and Sussex Downs students helped put up the polytunnel.
The Community Garden differs from our Community Allotment in a number of ways. Both are run along organic principles, have raised beds and welcome members of the community to come along. But the Landport Garden is tucked down low, and very sheltered. We are up on the Nevill, on the Downs, on chalk. We've got stunning views but the site is much more exposed. Having a polytunnel up there would be challenging. We are permitted to have campfires however, which the garden is not (they are next to residential properties, whereas we are not).
Neatly-hung spades and forks in the shed
David explained that, after five years, he's handed the running of the garden over to Marina Pepper. Members meet there every Monday, between 11am-3.30pm, and anyone is welcome to drop in. It's free. People share the tea and biscuits fund. Produce is shared. For more information, and contact details, see the poster below:

Q.P. Parks Canada - Bear Creek May 14, 2013
Question re: Parks Canada funding cuts
Mr. Silver: Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the Premier. Over the last number of years, Parks Canada has been slowly pulling out of Dawson City. Last summer's decision to end guided tours at Dredge No. 4 was only the latest in a long line of cutbacks. For example, the assets of Bear Creek are no longer open to the public and SS Keno is only partially open.
I am sympathetic to local Parks Canada staff as Ottawa continues to reduce funding; however, there is an appetite in Dawson to see these, and other assets such as Bear Creek, being better utilized.
Does the Premier recognize the long-term impact these cuts have on the community of Dawson, and what, if anything, does this government plan to do about it?
Q.P. F.H. Collins May 13, 2013
Question re: F.H. Collins Secondary School reconstruction
Mr. Silver: Last week the Government of Yukon announced an update on the F.H. Collins school project. The minister was pleased with media reports on Friday, including the story about a new design being chosen.
After spending at least $6 million on the project, the Yukon Party decided to start all over again in the spring. That money is already spent. I believe that the government made the wrong decision the first time around when it decided not to rebuild the tech and trades wing at the school. Unfortunately the media coverage from Friday confirms that the trade wing will not be rebuilt in the new school. I asked the minister on the second day of this spring sitting if he would consider including a new tech and trades wing in the new school. He replied at that time: "…the short answer to the member's question is yes." My question is why, or did he in fact change his mind?
Q.P. Yukon Forum May 9, 2013
Question re: First Nations/government relations
Mr. Silver: Mr. Speaker, last fall the Premier cancelled a scheduled meeting of the Yukon Forum on very short notice. Chiefs from around the territory had already travelled into Whitehorse for the meeting, only to be informed that the Premier would not be meeting with them. This is an example of the government's frayed relationship with Yukon First Nations.
This week, the government announced plans to meet more often with Yukon First Nation leaders. The Premier deemed this revelation worthy enough to issue a press release confirming that more meetings would be planned. The Grand Chief of the Council of Yukon First Nations does not, however, share the Premier's excitement. She told local media, and I quote: "…it's the government's feeling that we shouldn't have to sit down and rehash issues, but we should be able to celebrate at the Yukon Forum. If we're going to celebrate anything, the legwork has to be done…"
Why is this government dictating when it will meet and what will be on the forum agenda?
Q.P Rising Electricity Rates, May 8, 2013
Question re: Electrical rate stabilization fund
Mr. Silver: Earlier this week, I asked the minister responsible for energy about the new hydro projects. He didn't want to talk about the new projects. After 10 years in office, the Yukon Party has no new hydro projects on the table ready to go. He did want to talk about rising energy rates inYukon. I welcome this conversation. We know that power rates will be increasing by close to 12 percent under this minister's watch as a result of recent Yukon Utilities Board hearings. The interim electrical rebate provides residential customers with a maximum rebate of $26.62 per month for the first 1,000 kilowatt hours of power used. It is automatically applied to residential power bills.
The Yukon Party government rebate has been in place since 2009 and has been renewed annually in the last number of years. Given the recent 12-percent increase in bills, the need for this rebate is greater than ever. What is the future of this rebate? Will it go beyond March 31, 2014?
Q.P. Shakwak Funding, May 7, 2013
Question re: Shakwak project
Mr. Silver: I have a question for the Minister of Highways and Public Works about the future of the Shakwak project. Since the 1970s the United States government has been providing funding to upgrade the highway from Haines, Alaska, to Beaver Creek. Over the years the funding provided for construction that has totalled more than $400 million. In 2011, Shakwak accounted for approximately 40 percent of our entire highway construction budget. In 2011 it was $20 million, and in this year's budget it is $17.5 million. The problem is the funding for the project for future years has been cut off in the United States. What is the minister doing to get the United States government to continue funding this important project?
Q.P. Energy Supply and Demand, May 6, 2013
Question re: Energy supply and demand
Mr. Silver: Mr. Speaker, we have had many discussions this spring about the government's failure to plan for an energy cliff that Yukon is about to go over. Demand is rising when our supply can't keep up. This lack of planning has left the government scrambling to keep up and has resulted in Yukoners paying higher electricity bills. The government is now moving ahead with plans to burn natural gas to try and address this problem. It's better than diesel, but it's certainly not a green fuel. A lack of planning has left us with no other options. The minister told this House a short time ago, "We do have a commitment to continue to pursue the development of hydro projects." This is something we can support, Mr. Speaker.
Other than the project in Skagway that we've already discussed and is years away, what hydro project is the government pursuing and when might it be ready?
Q.P. F.H. Collins Contracts May 2, 2013
Mr. Silver: Mr. Speaker, I have some questions for the Minister of Highways and Public Works on some contracts related to F.H. Collins.
When the Premier announced he was pulling the plug on the old design of F.H. Collins, he said the approved construction budget, as detailed by two separate independent estimators, was $38.6 million. On the second day of this sitting, back on March 25, I asked the Premier to release those estimates so that the public could see whether or not they did, in fact, match the construction budget. He refused to answer.
Almost six weeks later, the government is still refusing to release those independent estimates. It is my understanding that these contracts were led by Highways and Public Works. Will the minister release these estimates so that the public can see whether or not they did, in fact, match the construction budget?
Q.P. Klondike Search & Rescue, May 1, 2013
Question re: Tombstone Territorial Park management
Mr. Silver: Mr. Speaker, earlier this year, I attended a public meeting about the Tombstone Territorial Park Management Plan. It requires a review three years after the plan's approval and that is what is happening this spring.
One of the issues that was raised at the meeting was search and rescue in the park. The park management committee drafted its recommendations that Yukon develop regulations necessary to fully implement the park's management plan. This will help manage the park and ensure public safety.
The current policy of the government is "hiker beware." The Department of Environment's website warns visitors, and I quote: "Yukon Parks staff do not have the capacity or responsibility for initiating search and rescue."
Inevitably, the Klondike Search and Rescue Association and the RCMP are involved in any rescue. As the numbers of visitors continue to increase, so will the number of people who will encounter problems. How does the government plan to address this concern?
Question re: Kluane tourism promotion - April 25, 2013
Mr. Silver: I have a question for the government about Holland America's plans for the upcoming tourism season and beyond.
It is my understanding that the company plans to scale back or altogether cut bus tours that go through the Kluane region beginning next summer. This change of plans will have a dramatic effect on the economy of the Kluane region, particularly the communities of Haines Junction and also of Beaver Creek.
Is the government aware of these potential changes? And what information has the government received from Holland America directly about their plans for tours on the north Alaska Highway?
Question re: Victoria Gold power generation - April 24, 2013
Mr. Silver: Mr. Speaker, in a recent article in the local newspaper, the Premier was asked about the potential of opening the Victoria Gold mine near Mayo.
The original plan for the mine was to tie into the existing power grid. However, the Premier told the paper that there is now a second option on the table: having the mine generate its own power by burning diesel or possibly a diesel-natural gas mix, and I quote: "Those two options are still on the table and being discussed by the company and officials as well". The article goes on to say that, according to the Victoria Gold president, the company has no plans to generate its own power, "No, it's still our intention to tie into the grid. We're actually not permitted to have our own power system, so we're working very closely with Yukon Energy Corporation to tie into the grid and have them provide power."
The company and the Premier seem to be in contradiction with each other here, and I just want to know: Does the Premier stand by his comments, or does he want to correct the public record?

If you are a real estate agent representing a buyer or seller of a property with a private septic system, also known as an Onsite Sewage Disposal System, (OSDS), you may have questions about how you can best inform your client about a septic inspection for a property transfer.
An educated buyer/seller that understands the importance of a properly functioning septic system is better able to make an informed decision about a property that relies on a septic system for waste disposal.
There are 4 types of OSDS used in Maryland – Traditional systems, Alternative and Innovative Systems, Best Available Technology for Nitrogen Removal (BAT) systems and Sand Mound Systems. The majority of systems in Maryland are the traditional systems so the focus of this information is on the traditional type system.
Information about septic systems is available from many sources. The Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) regulates septic inspectors and the procedures used for septic inspections. The MDE recommended procedure is outlined on the attached document. County health departments in Maryland are responsible for issuing permits for septic system construction. Do Your Part – Be Septic Smart – A Homeowners Guide to Septic Systems is available online at http://water.epa.gov/infrastructure/septic/upload/SepticSmart_LongHomeownerGuide_English508.pdf.
Allowing sufficient time to schedule and conduct a septic inspection for a property can help to avoid delays at settlement. If any problems are discovered during the inspection they can be corrected prior to settlement. Conducting the file search, homeowner/occupant interview and the onsite pumping and inspection and preparation of the final report can take up to 2 weeks. If a problem is found corrective action must be taken and can require additional time.
What inspection should be conducted?
A dye test alone is not considered acceptable by MDE. In 1999 the State of Maryland passed a law (9-217.1) that states "After July 1, 1999; every person engaged in the business of inspecting an on-site sewage disposal system for a transfer of property must certify to the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) that the person has completed a course of instruction, approved by the Department, in the proper inspection of on-site sewage disposal systems". The procedure mandated by MDE is a four step process outlined below. Failure to abide by this law by utilizing a dye test not only deprives the buyer of valuable knowledge to which he is entitled but also subjects the seller and the real-estate agent to potentially costly litigation.
The standardized procedure that has been developed by MDE for properly inspecting a septic system is a four step process: 1) file search, 2) homeowner/occupant interview, 3) site investigation and 4) final report.
The purpose of the file search is to determine what, if any, archival information is available about the septic system on the property. This information is often obtained at the county health department for the county in which the property is located. A waiting period may be required for research to be completed. Archival information may not be available for all systems. Useful information that can be taken from the file search may include age, type and location. Other information that may be in the file would be historical info, soils or percolation test data, outstanding complaints or violations associated with the property. This is a very important step, aiding the inspector in locating components of the system in the field, and showing where evidence of a system malfunction might be expected to be seen.
The homeowner or occupant may have information pertaining to the septic system's current or past performance that may only be revealed by interviewing them or by having them complete a questionnaire. Key information to gather is the current and past usage of the house. It is very important to note how many occupants of the house there are, if the property is vacant, or if there is, or has been, a commercial use of the property that may influence wastewater strength. It should also be noted if a system is under-utilized or is only seasonally used. The performance of a system can only be assessed based on the existing occupancy of the property. A system that is functioning adequately for two individuals may be inadequate for a fully occupied house consisting of multiple bedrooms. Use of the property owner questionnaire conveys responsibility for revealing important information to the property owner.
To accomplish this inspection water must be introduced into the system from the house and the tank opened at the large access lid. The size of the tank, the depth of material in the tank and the scum and sludge levels must be determined. The tank must be pumped in order to facilitate this examination and to determine if the drain field is accepting the effluent.
The septic tank must be structurally sound and operational with required inlet and outlet baffles/tees and or necessary components. Tanks and access riser connections should be watertight and not leak untreated sewage or allow infiltration of surface or groundwater. Liquid levels in the tanks should reflect that the system is functioning according to design. Toilets or drains on the lowest level of the house must flush or drain adequately. There should be no discharge of effluent to the ground surface or to surface waters. If there is ponding of water or effluent on the ground's surface, or if there are discharge pipes on the property, it may be necessary to dye test the system. However, dye tests used by themselves do not constitute an adequate septic inspection as at best they can only support a conclusion that a system is not functioning. For questionable systems or underutilized properties, it may be necessary to charge the system with a hydraulic load to evaluate its performance. Tanks should never be pumped before an inspection. They should usually be pumped only after careful observation of the liquid levels in the tank(s). Observations should be made of the tank during the pump out to see if effluent or groundwater flows back into the tank as it is evacuated. Once emptied, certain components such as baffles and tees can be clearly observed and only then can the structural integrity of the tank properly evaluated. Some excavation is usually necessary to perform a proper septic inspection as all components of a system may not have ready access.
Information obtained from the local health department (or permitting agency) concerning the septic system. It should be noted if no information was available or if the information was requested but not received as of the date of the final report.
A conclusion/comments section that specifies what was observed. At times, it will be necessary to characterize the condition of the system. Suggested terminology could include: system is acceptable, system is acceptable with concerns, further evaluation is needed, or system condition or performance is unacceptable.
Attach additional information if necessary.
Private well water should be tested a minimum of once per year. If your drinking water is obtained from a shallow well and/or surface water sources you should test more frequently (i.e. seasonally), as they are more susceptible to contamination.

The honeymoon phase is meant to be one of the happiest moments in people's lives. Which makes it the perfect backdrop for a horror film, of course! Director Leigh Janiak has been itching to make her first feature film for quite some time and finally, together with writing partner Phil Graziadei, she's concocted a psychological and physical nightmare that's been terrifying audiences ever since its premiere at South By South West earlier in the year. Now, Honeymoon gets its Canadian premiere in Montreal's genre festival Fantasia; a perfectly suitable setting.
Bea (Rose Leslie) and Paul (Harry Treadaway) are newly weds who have decided to isolate themselves from the rest of the world for their honeymoon, and spend it in Bea's old childhood place; a cabin by the lake. You'd think just because the cabin is located in Canada everything will be nice and well-mannered, but the young couple have no idea how life-altering a few days in these woods will be. A mysterious beam of light in the middle of the night heralds a dark presence into their lives, and once Bea starts sleepwalking, it all goes pear-shaped.
Janiak doesn't like to focus on the fact that she's a woman directing a genuinely engrossing and well-made indie genre film, but those discussing the film online would do well to take note of that. With controlled direction, excellent performances from the two leads, and a diabolical summary of how your better half can be such a pest sometimes, Honeymoon shines a light on a new female directing talent and presents some of the most authentic frights you'll experience all year round.
To be released September 12, 2014. Look out for our full review right before.

In this extremely timely story of a scenario that seems all too likely in today's political climate, Layla's family has been forcibly rounded up and held at an internment camp for Muslim Americans. Well written and fast paced, you'll breeze through this book quickly. The storyline wrapped up a bit too tidily in my opinion, which is where it became a tad unrealistic to me. However, as a YA novel, it makes sense. Read it!

the quality, at the right price.
THE WAY OF COTTON
The term comes from the cotton katun which means "land of conquest" with reference to the empire of Alexander the Great who initiated
the spread of cotton in the Mediterranean area.
Cotton is a natural fiber obtained from the cotton plant, a shrub with lobed leaves, flowers large white, yellow or red. The cotton fiber is a wonderful, natural, environmentally friendly, resistant, it is formed with six different species of plants Gossypium to which is given the name "cotton" and are: arboreum, barbadense, herbaceum, hirsutum, sturtianum, thurberi, tomentosum, the the most valuable qualities are long fiber, white, with sheen similar to silk.
The fruit is a capsule with an oval shape that opens in valves 3-5, it contains various seeds covered with animal hair monocellular formed by cellulose of white or yellow color that constitutes textile fluff from which we get the vegetable fiber, to skeins which is then used for the weaving.
The cultivation of cotton began around 600 in Asia. The Egyptian people already knew the cotton plant, but it was used only as an ornamental. The first people to use the cotton as a fabric, it was the people of India, then followed by Malay and Persian.
The Greeks and Romans bought these fabrics, and ignored the possibility to manufacture it themselves, Alexandria became the most important center for trade and the spread of cotton. In America the Spanish conquistadors were able to create great cultivations of cotton, in fact, they had at their disposal immense spaces and the humid climate perfect for growing cotton, but actually were the British and French to develop production from 1600.
In Italy, especially in Sicily the cultivation of cotton was introduced by the Arabs in the IX century, spreading under the Norman and Swabian,
reaching up to the Calabrian coast.
Today cotton is grown in the US, in South America, in Peru, in Asia, in Egypt, Pakistan, Russia and recently in Europe.
The cotton fabric has excellent features for compatibility with the skin, disperses the heat easily and is very hygienic, so it is important the fiber processors without affecting its characteristics.
The cotton fiber is a very versatile, robust, soft and suitable to various workings. in Italy the raw material "cotton" is by getting wise worked fabrics of the highest quality and value, among the best in the world.
The COTTON SHIRTS FOR MEN
The cotton yarns are distinguished by title and size. The title is the term used to define the number of wires per square centimeter of tissue and is given by the combination of vertical threads (warp) and horizontal threads (weft). The dimension of the yarn refers to the thickness of the wires and the higher number indicates a finer yarn. Therefore the finer the yarn used for the fabric the highest is its title, in general, a shirt of higher quality is realized with fabric title comprised between 80 and 170.
The shirts are made of more valuable generally twisted cotton fabric, a special processing in which the threads of cotton
They are twisted two by two on themselves to ensure softness, shine and consistency the texture of the fabric making it extremely valuable.
Below is a classification of the various types of fabrics:
Popeline: The name of this fabric comes from papalina, with reference to the papal city of Avignon, where it originated its manufacture. It is a compact and smooth fabric and between the lightest and fresh, characterized by a warp thinner than the weft. The weft yarns give character to the fabric.The compact but thin fabric ensures the shirt great softness and comfort, which makes it suitable for formal occasions. It 'a fabric suitable for winter and for the transitional period. Poplin stretch is a stretch poplin for shirts adherents.
Oxford: The name of this fabric is derived from that of the city Oxford English, it's characterized by a warp yarn thinner than that of the weft which provides for a weft yarn every two warp yarns, it is often realized by the intertwining of colored wires and white threads, it's a soft fabric and very durable.Oxford fabrics offer many combinations, but are less elegant and formal of batiste or of poplin, it's very used to make shirts with button-down collar, this type of shirts used for leisure and for the office. The Royal Oxford Oxford shaved is also called a fabric finer than the normal oxford and is formed from thinner wires, and therefore is more silky to the touch.
The piquè : it's a cotton fabric with small patterns in relief, diamonds, squares, dots, generally white. Fabric composed requires for the armature of two warps and two wefts for weaving. It 'very suitable in summer.
Fil-a-Fil: it's a lightweight fabric, good for all seasons suitable for sports shirts and formal shirts; it is a good fabric for every season of the year and its processing "wire to wire" allows to obtain many different colors. the optical effect of a microscopic thousand vertical lines or a grid.
