CFZ-NEW ZEALAND: Where have all the Greyling Gone?
Where have all the Greyling Gone?
Once again, it is that time of the year when we see whitebait nets spread along the riverbanks of both Islands, faces filled with expectancy of that one mighty haul of rare larval form of Galaxid that were once so common they were dumped on fields as fertilizer or fed to pigs as a food supplement..
With a scarcity of good sites it has even come down at times to armed conflict over the possession of a single site.
It was inevitable that the unceasing supply would eventually dwindle away and protection measures were taken by providing a designated season in which these creatures could be caught. These methods have not done much to help the position as the population of some of the rarest species, whitebait consists of a mixture of Galaxid species, as rarer species showed no sign of recovery.
It is not generally understood that the whitebait have to run a massive gauntlet to get not only to the rivers, but also up to the alpine areas. Firstly, many hungry predators follow the run in large numbers. These small fish are a favourite of many marine species.
After this they then have to avoid freshwater species mainly trout and the nets of the whitebaiters.
Once past those man-made constructions become a problem until they finally reach the cool Alpine streams.
From the original number that began this journey only a vastly diminish number finally make it to grow and become breeding adults.
In the interim people pay outrageous sums of money just for small quantities of these juvenile fish leaving populations dangling on the edge of extinction.
A lot of species that travel in these migrations we know very little about and if the situation continues, like the greyling, more species will disappear before we learn anything about them all for the sake of a fritter on a plate.

Boys Cross-Country Preview: SWR has no stars, lots of competition
By Bob Liepa
One will not find a star runner among them, but that doesn't mean the Shoreham-Wading River High School boys cross-country team will not be shooting for the sky — or at least the top of Suffolk County League VI.
Bob Szymanski, who is in his 38th year coaching the Wildcats, likes the competition he sees within the team. Compared to last year's squad, which went 5-1 and finished second in the league to Miller Place, Szymanski said the current Wildcats are "similar in we don't have an outstanding one above the rest, but they seem to run well together."
SWR's top runner could be senior captain Raymond LaPorte or junior Eric DiLisio or junior Joe Krause, an All-Division selection. "It's going to be real close," said Szymanski.
Also in the running for scoring positions are junior Chris Vedder, sophomore Adam Zelin, freshman Jacob Jablonski (the No. 1 runner on last year's junior high school team), freshman Garrett Frost, senior Patrick Lane, sophomore Camden Sisler, junior Andrew Liguori and senior Brendan Madden.
Last year a SWR boy did not compete in the state meet for the first time in 22 years, according to Szymanski. The top SWR finisher in the Section XI Championships Class B race at Sunken Meadow State Park's 3.1-mile course was Krause (14th in 18 minutes, 19.98 seconds).
Szymanski said Krause and DiLisio could have what it takes to make it to the state meet, "but I wouldn't knock out those other guys."
"The kids train hard and they pull for one another," he said. "They're just good young kids."
So, what does Michael Senica do for an encore?
Last year, in his first cross-country season, the Bishop McGann-Mercy runner qualified for the state meet, no mean feat. His time of 18:32.51 brought him sixth place in Class C at the Section XI Championships at Sunken Meadow State Park. At the state meet he was clocked in 18:13.
Now, as a junior, Senica wants to return to the state meet — only this time he wants some company.
"He wants to go to the state meet really bad and he wants to bring some other guys [from the Mercy team] with him," said coach Les Williams.
Senica, the team captain, has undoubted talent. He has run two miles in 10:56. This past spring he ran a mile in 4:44.
"I gave him the workouts after spring and said, 'This is what you got to do during summer,' and he went out and did that," Williams said. "He can be very good. He works extremely hard. He gives a hundred percent."
Mercy (0-5) has sophomores Robert DeWitt and Philip Marino back in addition to junior Robert Penn. New to the team are freshman Anthony Senica, who is Michael's brother, and sophomore John Anthony Miller.
"They ran all summer, so I think they're going to be OK," Williams said. "These guys are very dedicated."
The Monarchs lost sophomore Anthony Varacchi, however. Varacchi, who would have been one of the team's top runners, transferred to Longwood.
Riverhead coach Matt Yakaboski did not return messages prior to the deadline.

Climate of fear hurts Singapore: author
http://news.theage.com.au/climate-of-fear-hurts-singapore-author/20071214-1h5t.html
A climate of fear that stops citizens from speaking out against the government could eventually lead to the decline of Singapore, novelist Catherine Lim says.
Lim, Singapore's best-known writer, praised the government for its economic achievements but said its Achilles' heel could be its suppression of criticism, such as defamation suits against opposition politicians and bans on protests.
"A compliant, fearful population that has never learnt to be politically savvy could spell the doom of Singapore," Lim told Reuters in an interview.
Lim, 65, is one of few dissident voices in Singapore and has criticised the government in opinion pieces in the local press.
But her latest article, an open letter to the prime minister in which she pleaded for a political opening up, was rejected. She has posted it on her website www.catherinelim.sg
She said the worst-case scenario would be for a future leader to get away with corruption "because of the ingrained, unquestioning trust of a fearful, overly dependent people".
Another factor is that the current generation of young people are exposed to views from around the world and discussion on political freedoms on the internet, she said. Her latest article has generated a string of comments in Singapore's active political blogging community.
"You could have a case of younger Singaporeans creating unrest because they do not have an outlet," she said.
Lim also argues that the tight political control could hurt Singapore's aim of attracting the talent needed to retool its economy from manufacturing to a hub for research and services.
"What Singapore wants is managed creativity. So not only would those really creative people not want to come, but those who are here want to get out," she said.
Lim, whose works include The Bondmaid, said Singaporeans had been conditioned to believe that material prosperity and messy politics were mutually exclusive, but she pointed to Scandinavia as evidence that this is not the case.
"Singapore needs to develop our own model of political freedom and Singapore has the maturity, expertise and institutions to move forward," she said.
Lim's thesis is that the Singapore government has instead made "systematic use of fear" to silence dissident voices, through "out-of-bounds markers" to stipulate what Singaporeans can and cannot say should they choose to criticise the government.
She points to examples of people not voting for opposition parties for fear of losing their homes, promotions or jobs, and defamation lawsuits that can result in permanent financial ruin.
Singapore's leaders have filed and won numerous libel suits against opposition politicians and foreign media organisations, saying this is necessary to protect their reputations.
The Home Affairs Ministry did not respond to a Reuters request for comment on Lim's statement.
In a 2005 newspaper interview, Home Affairs Minister Wong Kan Seng denied that there was a climate of fear in Singapore, and said that its citizens had spoken up at public forums without reprisals.
The People's Action Party has ruled Singapore since it separated from Malaysia in 1965, shunning what it has termed "Western-style" adversarial politics.
The city-state's founding father, Lee Kuan Yew, still holds an influential position in the cabinet of his son, current Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
"The Lee Kuan Yew model was superb for its time. But it may collapse, not immediately, but 20 years down the road," Lim said.
In recent years, Singapore has attempted to shed its conservative image and tried to generate "buzz" by introducing casinos, promoting its arts and education scene, and hosting a Formula One race next year.
In October, the city-state legalised oral and anal sex between consenting adults, although it kept a ban on gay sex, after a rare debate on the issue in parliament.
"They seem to have drawn a line when it comes to opening up politically, and that to me is dangerous," Lim said.
But Lim said she does not intend to enter the political sphere to push for the changes she advocates.
"I like my independence," she said with a laugh.
"It's okay to be an armchair critic."

One in four Swiss residents has xenophobic attitudes
In 2014, around one in five Swiss residents say they agree with negative stereotypes of Muslims Keystone
The first in-depth study of racist and xenophobic attitudes in Switzerland has revealed that one in four people has negative opinions of foreigners in general, one in five is hostile to Muslims and one in ten is anti-Semitic.
This content was published on February 13, 2015 - 09:53 February 13, 2015 - 09:53
Clare O'Dea, swissinfo.ch

中文 (zh) 四分之一的瑞士居民怀有仇外情结
Español (es) Xenofobia en uno de cada cuatro residentes en Suiza
In a series of face-to-face interviews conducted between 2010 and 2014, gfs.bernExternal link researchers probed the mind-set of Swiss citizens and foreign residents, looking for systematic and repeated expressions of xenophobia.
The overall trend of xenophobia showed a decline, from 30% harbouring negative opinions towards foreigners in 2010 to 24% in 2014. These were respondents who, for example, favoured a restrictive naturalisation policy and perceived foreigners as social welfare cheats.
Attitudes towards foreigners and other groups were measured in a variety of ways, such as how people felt about their neighbours, how freely they expressed their opinions in public, how they felt in the presence of "others" and what stereotypes or negative views they agreed with.
When it came to "being bothered" by the presence of people of other skin colours, religions, nationalities or languages in public, only 6% of respondents went this far.
The most dynamic results by far related to Muslims. The survey first measured anti-Muslim sentiment in the aftermath of a 2009 national vote to ban the construction of minarets. At that time (April 2010) 45% of respondents admitted to subscribing to negative stereotypes of Muslims.
This had dropped to 19% four years later when the final survey was conducted. But that was just a measure of perceived stereotypes. Over the same period, in a straight measure of negative attitudes towards Muslims, the proportion of people who expressed those ideas and feelings increased from 13% to 18%.
These were people who answered yes to questions like: "Would you like there to be no Muslims in Switzerland?", "Should the practising of Islam be forbidden in Switzerland?" and "Should Muslims not be allowed to immigrate here?"
"From this we can deduce that we have a stable base of 20% of Swiss residents harbouring negative attitudes towards Muslims and a further volatile 20% to 30% with potential hostility towards Muslims," Claude Longchamp of the gfs research institute told swissinfo.ch.
Listen to our podcast, Inside Geneva
On Inside Geneva host Imogen Foulkes puts big questions facing the world to the experts working to tackle them in international Geneva.
Michele Galizia of the Service for Combating RacismExternal link at the interior ministry said more preventive work was needed in this area. "The stereotyping in the media and politics of certain population groups has a significant effect on attitudes," he said.
Not in my workplace
Scepticism towards foreigners in the workplace was found to be increasing. Some 27% of those surveyed in 2014 said that the nationality of work colleagues mattered, up from 18% four years earlier.
Certain nationalities are clearly out of favour. While more than 80% said they could imagine working with an Italian, Austrian or French person, Germans were seen as potential co-workers by slightly fewer respondents – 75%.
Only a minority of those surveyed imagined working with Russians (45%), Turks (31%), Africans (30%) or Arabs (28%). Albanian (26%) was the least popular nationality, although its position improved significantly over the four-year period tested.
Galizia said tackling discrimination in the labour market was a priority area. "The indicators show us that racism today is different from the political, ideological-based racism of the Second World War and previous times. Today racism is a phenomenon of the whole of society. The workplace is a central place where people have to live together and where conflicts can develop and can be very destructive."
Anti-Semitic attitudes remained stable throughout the test period. One in ten people admitted to having negative opinions about Jews in each of the three survey sittings: 2010, 2012 and 2014.
These opinions included the notions that Jews had too much influence worldwide and in Switzerland, that they exploited the Holocaust, were more loyal to Israel and responsible for their own persecution.

While Muslims showed higher levels of anti-Semitic attitudes, both Christians and people with no religion were well represented. The typical profile of a person with anti-Semitic opinions was Swiss, male, elderly, living in the countryside or a small town in the German-speaking part of Switzerland, with a low level of education and income, and tending to vote for the Christian Democrats or the Swiss People's Party.
"It is known that anti-Semitism is a historic phenomenon in Switzerland that goes back to the Middle Ages and is still present today. It is present to quite a stable extent, in contrast to the much more recent volatile sentiment against Muslims," Longchamp told swissinfo.ch.
"It is a fairly fixed group in the population amounting to one in ten people with anti-Semitic attitudes. So it is a phenomenon that is not particularly prevalent in relation to other countries but also not subject to being influenced."
On Wednesday, the cabinet decided to make this monitoring model a regular feature of federal data gathering. From 2016 it will be carried out every two years by the federal statistical office as part of its census programme.
gfs survey
The survey was commissioned by the Service for Combatting Racism at the interior ministry.
Researchers carried out interviews, on average 55 minutes long, with Swiss residents aged over 14.
The respondents were recruited in public in the different language regions.
The interviews were carried out in 2010, 2012 and 2014.
A total of around 1,700 people were questioned each year – 1,000 Swiss and 700 foreign residents.

After dropping a home game to the Catholic University of America last week, the Drew University Women's Basketball team returned with unrelenting determination to score a victory against Susquehanna University on Feb. 11 with a score of 62-49. Despite being a tense match, with the score being tied 28-28 at halftime, the Rangers didn't let this hinder them. They managed to dominate the second half of the game, scoring 34 points compared to Susquehanna's 21. In the first five minutes of the third quarter, the Rangers went on a 13-2 scoring spree, securing their win for the game. Hannah Miller ('17), scored her career first double-double, scoring 23 points. She also managed to add a season high five assists during her 94th career game for the Rangers. She was aided by teammate Sam Lane ('17), who scored 14 points for the team.
The Rangers returned on Feb. 15, to drop a closely contested battle against Moravian College, by a narrow margin of 70-61. This loss on the road eliminated them from Landmark Conference play. This game dropped the Rangers' record to 9-15 for the season and 5-8 in the Landmark Conference. Moravian is ranked second in the conference with an exceptional 11-2 record in the conference. Despite the loss, the matchup proved to be a thrilling one as the lead changed five times and the score was tied three different times. The Rangers also managed to cut a double digit deficit to four points in the third quarter due to back to back baskets from Hannah Miller and Sam Lane.During the setback, Hailey Stine ('19), scored a career high 14 points for the team, matching her career high of 10 points in a half. Hannah Miller proved her grit yet again, scoring 23 points, making her the fourth all-time in Drew's career points list, with 1,389 points. The Rangers were also able to complete 15 steals throughout the competition.
The Rangers will return to the court to face off against Juniata College, in their last Landmark Conference game of the season, tomorrow. This game is also Senior Day and will honor players, Kati Yext ('17), Lane, Miller, Ryan Jackson ('17), Nicole Jackson ('17) and Courtney Trzasko ('17).

Campbell Law names Wallace Fellows for 2019-20
RALEIGH — Campbell Law Dean J. Rich Leonard has announced the three new Wallace Fellows tapped to work alongside the institution's faculty and staff during the 2019-2020 academic year. Grant Simpkins, Jonnell Carpenter and Maurizo Lewis-Streit — all 2019 Campbell Law graduates — were selected by an internal panel of law school faculty and staff.
"These are three of my outstanding 2019 graduates who just passed the bar and are eager to jump in and move the law school forward," said Campbell Law Dean J. Rich Leonard.
The Jerry M. Wallace Law Fellowship Program consists of three full-time employment opportunities for recent graduates — the Wallace Advocacy Fellow, the Wallace Leadership Fellow, and the Wallace Public Service Fellow. The program is named in honor of Campbell University Chancellor Dr. Jerry Wallace, who served 12 years as university president before stepping down in June 2015. He remains an integral part of the selection process and is engaged with each fellow.
A native of Greensboro, North Carolina, Simpkins will serve as the Wallace Leadership Fellow. In this role he will assist Dean Leonard and the law school's senior staff with development initiatives, alumni relations and career services. Simpkins earned his undergraduate degree from Appalachian State University.
Carpenter is a native of Zebulon, North Carolina. As the Wallace Public Service Fellow she will assist in the management of Campbell Law's pro bono programs, and work to conceptualize and seek resources to further pro bono and clinical development. Carpenter is a graduate of Pfeiffer University.
Lewis-Streit is a native of Georgetown, Guyana in South America. As the Wallace Advocacy Fellow he will work with the advocacy faculty in the required trial practice curriculum, assist with interschool competitions and help administer the Boyce Center of Advocacy. Lewis-Streit completed his undergraduate work at North Carolina State University.
Since its founding in 1976, Campbell Law has developed lawyers who possess moral conviction, social compassion, and professional competence, and who view the law as a calling to serve others. Among its accolades, the school has been recognized by the American Bar Association (ABA) as having the nation's top Professionalism Program and by the American Academy of Trial Lawyers for having the nation's best Trial Advocacy Program. Campbell Law boasts more than 4,200 alumni, who make their home in nearly all 50 states and beyond. In 2019, Campbell Law is celebrating 40 years of graduating legal leaders and 10 years of being located in a state-of-the-art facility in the heart of North Carolina's Capital City.

holding that a husband who promised his wife that he would care for her child by another man if she married him and, when she did, did treat the child as his own, was later estopped during child support proceedings from claiming a statute of frauds violation
Summary of this case from Katz v. Capital One
See 6 Summaries
43357 Record No. 750537.
Present, All the Justices.
(1) Divorce — Support — Contractual Obligation.
(2) Contracts — Statute of Frauds.
(1) Equity — Estoppel.
1. Before marriage, husband had promised to treat pregnant wife's child by another as if it were his own, thereby agreeing to assume the child support obligation of a biological father. Marriage ensued and husband carried out obligation under contract during more than four years of marriage. Express oral contract for support of child has been established.
2. Contract within ambit of statute of frauds is not void ab initio but cannot be enforced. Statute is not enforced when to do so would cause a fraud and a wrong to be perpetrated. Under proper conditions equity will avoid the statute and enforce an oral agreement. Ordinarily marriage is not such part performance as will take a case out of the statute. But here wife abandoned her plans for employment, and for disposition by adoption of her expected baby, and there was substantial performance by both husband and wife under the agreement for more than four years.
3. To establish equitable estoppel it is not necessary to show actual fraud, but only that person to be estopped has misled another to his prejudice or that the innocent party acted in reliance upon the conduct or misstatements by the person to be estopped. Under circumstances, husband is estopped from pleading the statute of frauds.
Appeal from a decree of the Circuit Court of Nelson County. Hon. Robert C. Goad, judge presiding.
Marshall R. Williams, for appellant.
No brief or argument for appellee.
Case submitted on brief for appellant.
COCHRAN, J., delivered the opinion of the court.
In this divorce case the novel question for our determination on appeal is whether the former husband, who knew, when he married his wife, that she was pregnant by another, has a continuing obligation, surviving the divorce, to support the child born during their marriage.
The Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court of Nelson County held that the husband was liable for support of the child, and ordered him to make payments as specified. Upon appeal to the trial court, the support proceeding was consolidated with the divorce suit pending therein. The trial court granted the wife a divorce a vinculo matrimonii from the husband on the ground of desertion but, by order entered January 22, 1975, from which the wife has appealed, relieved the husband of any duty to support the child.
The facts are not in dispute. Late in the year 1968, the wife, who was then single, became pregnant. She made plans to move to another state, have her baby, and then put the child up for adoption. To this end she obtained employment in New York City as a nurse. With full knowledge of her pregnancy the husband promised her that if she would forego her plans and marry him, he would care for her child after it was born "as if it were his own". The wife did not go to New York and married her husband on December 16, 1968.
It was stipulated in the trial court that the husband was not the biological father of the wife's child, a girl born June 16, 1969, in Portsmouth Naval Hospital. With the husband's approval, however, the hospital named him as the father on the birth certificate. He also had the child listed as a dependent for purposes of receiving additional pay and allowances from his employer, the United States Navy, which treated her as his dependent. When the wife's mother confronted him with the fact that he could not be the child's father, the husband made firm protestations to her that he was the father.
For more than four years the husband permitted the child to take and use his name, and he held himself out to the public as her father. She was always listed as a dependent on the couple's tax returns. Prior to the husband's desertion and abandonment of his wife on August 10, 1973, there is no evidence that he ever denied being the father of the little girl.
The ruling of the trial court, as explicated in its memorandum opinion, was based on the fact that the husband was not the biological father of the child because, at the time of her conception, he was in the Navy overseas and could not possibly have had access to the mother. The court noted that the common law rule excluding testimony by either spouse as to non-access, to prove that a child born during a marriage is illegitimate, has been abrogated in Virginia. Code Sections 20-82 and 20-88.29 (Repl. Vol. 1975), and Sec. 8-287 (Repl. Vol. 1957). The court found from the stipulation and testimony heard ore tenus that the presumption of the legitimacy of the child born during the marriage was fully rebutted and overcome, as permitted by Gibson v. Gibson, 207 Va. 821, 153 S.E.2d 189 (1967), and Smith v. Perry, Adm'r, and Als., 80 Va. 563 (1885). Since the child was not the husband's natural or legally adopted child he had no statutory duty to support her. Absent such statutory duty, the court concluded that the husband must be relieved from making child support payments.
The wife does not dispute the general rule that a husband is not liable, merely because of his status as husband, for the support of his wife's illegitimate child born before or after marriage. Annot., 90 A.L.R.2d 584, 585 (1963). She maintains, however, that her former husband is liable for child support in this case because of an express oral contract, estoppel, common law adoption, and the husband's standing in loco parentis as to the child, four theories which have been recognized in similar cases in other jurisdictions. If any one of these theories is applicable, of course, the order of the trial court must be reversed.
In Clevenger v. Clevenger, 189 Cal.App.2d 658, 11 Cal.Rptr. 707, 90 A.L.R.2d 569 (1961), on which the wife chiefly relies, the California court approved in principle the imposition of liability upon a husband for support of his wife's illegitimate child, born during the marriage, where the facts establish either an express agreement for the maintenance of the child or an estoppel of the husband to deny that he is the father. Custody and control of the child and the right to its earnings would constitute sufficient consideration to the husband to support the contract theory. Recognizing that to hold the husband to a contract there must be an express agreement and partial performance thereof, the court found that there was insufficient evidence in the record to establish the agreement. The court also found the estoppel theory inapplicable because equitable estoppel in such a case can run only in favor of the child, and there was insufficient evidence that any misrepresentation had been made by the husband to the child, who was eleven years of age when the divorce proceeding was initiated. Nevertheless, the case was remanded for a new trial, thereby affording the divorced wife another opportunity to establish liability for child support under the express contract or estoppel theories.
In Spellens v. Spellens, 49 Cal.2d 210, 317 P.2d 613 (1957), the court held that the husband was not liable for support of his wife's children by her first husband in the absence of an agreement, adoption or some other arrangement, thus recognizing the contract theory for child support in such cases. See also Taylor v. Taylor, 279 So.2d 364 (Fla. App. 1973), where the Florida court held that a man has no legal duty to provide support for a minor child who is neither his natural nor adopted child and for whose care and support he has not contracted.
A recent case, factually similar to the present case, but not cited by the wife, is L__________ v. L__________, 497 S.W.2d 840 (Mo. 1973). There, the couple met and married while the husband was in the Navy. The husband knew when he married her that his wife was several months pregnant by another man. The wife testified that at the time of their marriage her husband promised that "he would recognize the child as his", and that before and after the marriage he promised that "he would treat the child as his". The husband admitted having made these promises. When the baby was born, the husband permitted his name to be recorded on the birth certificate as her father, and he introduced the child to others as his daughter. About two and a half years after the infant's birth divorce proceedings were instituted. The Missouri court held that the former husband was liable under an express contract to support the child.
"Before agreeing to enter into marriage the wife asked for and received an express assurance that the husband would not later reject the child. The husband's response was that he would recognize the child and treat it as his own. This necessarily meant that he agreed to the same full incidents of child support as if he were the biological father. Just as a natural biological father would be liable for continuing support of this child after divorce, so also the husband in this case is similarly liable under his contract of support voluntarily assumed by him. The wife's agreement of marriage was a sufficient consideration to make that contract valid and binding." Id., 497 S.W.2d at 842.
To the contrary is Fuller v. Fuller, 247 A.2d 767 (D.C. App. 1968), where the woman was pregnant by another when she met her future husband. The couple did not marry until three months after the baby was born, although the husband had permitted his name to be listed on the birth certificate as the father. The mother testified that prior to their marriage the husband promised that he would "provide a good marital home and her child would be included as part of the family unit". The court held that this promise was no more than an inducement to marriage and a commitment to support the child during the marriage, and that it did not constitute an agreement to continue such support after the marriage was terminated.
In the present case, the evidence of an express contract is stronger than the evidence which was found to be insufficient in Fuller, and at least as strong as the evidence found to be sufficient in L . . . . The husband in Fuller offered to provide a home for his wife's illegitimate offspring, born several months previously, only so long as the family unit, of which the mother and child were parts, remained intact. Here, as in L . . ., the husband promised to treat the child as if it were his own, thereby agreeing to assume the child support obligations of a biological father. We conclude, therefore, that an express oral contract for the support of the child has been established.
We must determine, however, whether the oral contract is unenforceable under the statute of frauds, Code Sec. 11-2 (Repl. Vol. 1973), which provides:
"No action shall be brought in any of the following cases:
"(5) Upon any agreement made upon consideration of marriage;
"Unless the promise, contract, agreement, representation, assurance, or ratification, or some memorandum or note thereof, be in writing and signed by the party to be charged thereby. . . ."
A contract within the ambit of the statute is not void ab initio, but cannot be enforced. Burruss v. Hines, 94 Va. 413, 419, 26 S.E. 875, 877 (1897). The statute is procedural or remedial in nature, and is concerned, not with the validity of the contract, but with its enforceability. Brow v. Valentine, 240 F. Supp. 539, 541 (W. D. Va. 1965); Stein v. Pulaski Furniture Corp., 217 F. Supp. 587, 589 (W.D. Va. 1963).
The object of the statute of frauds is to prevent frauds and perjuries, and not to perpetrate them, so that the statute is not enforced when to do so would cause a fraud and a wrong to be perpetrated. Wheat v. Wheat, 3 Va. Law Reg. (N.S.) 177, aff'd. by a divided court, 119 Va. 861, 91 S.E. 827 (1916). See also Reynolds v. Dixon, 187 Va. 101, 46 S.E.2d 6 (1948).
Therefore, under certain conditions, where there has been part performance, a court of equity will avoid the statute and enforce an oral agreement. In such cases the parole agreement must be certain and definite, the acts proved in part performance must refer to, result from, or be made pursuant to the agreement, and the agreement must have been so far executed that a refusal of full execution would operate as a fraud upon the party, and place him in a situation which does not lie in compensation. Moreover, the act or acts of part performance must be of such unequivocal nature as to be evidence of the existence of an agreement. Pair v. Rook, 195 Va. 196, 205, 77 S.E.2d 395, 402 (1953). Indeed, the part performance must be consistent with no theory other than the existence of the alleged oral contract. Mann v. Mann, 159 Va. 240, 248, 165 S.E. 522, 525 (1932).
Ordinarily marriage is not such part performance as will take a case out of the statute. Hannon and als. v. Hounihan and als., 85 Va. 429, 12 S.E. 157 (1888). Here, however, there was more than just marriage. The wife abandoned her plans for employment and for the disposition by adoption of her expected baby. Although termination of the wife's employment plans may have been inconsequential, reconsideration of her plan to place her baby for adoption resulted in critical changes in the lives of both mother and child. The adoption plan, once abandoned, could not be revived years later, upon failure of the marriage, without necessarily producing more serious emotional impacts on both. In the alternative, the wife must raise an illegitimate child in a fatherless home, a responsibility she had originally determined to avoid by giving her baby the greater security and stability which adoptive parents might have been expected to provide. Hence, the wife's plans were irrevocably changed in reliance on the husband's promise, and there was substantial performance by both husband and wife under the agreement for more than four years. Pursuant to the husband's promise to support the child the mother received the benefit of his assumption of a share of her parental responsibility and legal obligation. The husband received the benefit of marriage to the woman of his choice, who renounced her previous plans and assumed her duties as a housewife, and of family life, which he accepted voluntarily, if not enthusiastically.
Moreover, a party may be estopped by his statements or conduct from pleading the statute of frauds. To establish equitable estoppel, it is not necessary to show actual fraud, but only that the person to be estopped has misled another to his prejudice, Security Co. v. Juliano, Inc., 203 Va. 827, 834, 127 S.E.2d 348, 352 (1962), or that the innocent party acted in reliance upon the conduct or misstatement by the person to be estopped. Khoury v. Memorial Hospital, 203 Va. 236, 243, 123 S.E.2d 533, 538 (1962). Elements necessary to establish equitable estoppel, absent a showing of fraud and deception, are a representation, reliance, a change of position, and detriment. United States v. Fidelity and Casualty Co. of New York, 402 F.2d 893, 898 (4th Cir. 1968).
We believe that the husband's promises to the wife, in reliance upon which she changed her position, acted to her detriment, and substantially performed her obligations until her husband made further performance impossible, have estopped him from pleading the statute of frauds. Accordingly, we hold that the wife has established an enforceable express oral contract by the husband to continue to support the child as if he were the natural father of the child. In view of this holding, we find it unnecessary to consider other theories advanced by the wife under which liability might be established in other jurisdictions.
For the reasons assigned we will reverse the judgment of the trial court and remand the case for determination of the amount, terms and conditions of the child support payments to be required of the divorced husband.
In T v. T, 216 Va.867, 224 S.E.2d 148, 151 (1976), the Virginia Supreme Court held that "under certain conditions, where there has been part performance, a court of equity will avoid the statute [of frauds] and enforce an oral agreement."

stating that "a party may be estopped by his statements or conduct from pleading the statute of frauds." To establish equitable estoppel, a party must show "that the person to be estopped has misled another to his prejudice."

In T v. T, 216 Va. 867, 224 S.E.2d 148 (1976), wife, then pregnant and unmarried, gave up her plan to place her baby for adoption in reliance on husband's promise that, if she would keep the child and marry him, he would care for the child as if it were his own.

Actually, to be honest, there is literally not a time where I am not playing a Donkey Kong game. In fact, I've never actually played any Mother games. Just Donkey Kong. My life is Donkey Kong. I'm even Miiverse married to him. You just don't understand our love, okay.
By the way, in case you were wondering, my favorite movie is A Talking Cat!?!.

The second Food on Canvas joint teacher training event was organized in Vukovar and Dalj in Croatia from 28th February till 5th March 2016. The event consisted of a series of workshops for teachers from the partner schools with a focus on the development of online learning resources.
We also discussed progress of the project to date and started preparations for the closing project conference to be held in Bulgaria in May.
Many thanks to the Croatian team for your hospitality and an opportunity to learn so much about your country.


A tri-fold manual explaining the setup of off-site backups. Users of the manual range from technically advanced to beginner level. Goals were to be as informative as possible while staying contained to one page.
This deeply technical package is delivered to someone who may have never performed a backup before.
I walked myself through the process of performing a backup to get an idea of what could go wrong. I started the manual with unpacking the box and make sure everything is there. The guide then walks through with accompanying technical illustrations, down to every detail.
The DART Box comes in 3 different sizes based on how many drives are needed. I designed the manual to be folded down into smaller sizes as to not have to design 3 different versions. For the large box, the front-back manual can be place inside on top. For the medium box it is folded once. For small it can be folded twice like a packet.

So-called "Islamic State" terror group regrouping in Iraq
World Mena
'They have better techniques, better tactics and a lot more money'

Daesh story doesn't end with killing of Al Baghdadi
London: The presence of the so-called "Islamic State" (Daesh) terror group in Iraq was a sophisticated insurgency, awith growing a indication that the militants were re-grouping two years after losing the last of its territory in the country, a media report said.
Kurdish intelligence officials estimate that Daesh is 10,000 strong in Iraq with between 4,000 and 5,000 fighters, and a similar number of sleeper cells and sympathisers, the BBC said in the reported.
According to Lahur Talabany, a top Kurdish counter-terrorism official, the militants were now more skilled and more dangerous than Al Qaeda.
"They have better techniques, better tactics and a lot more money at their disposal," he told the BBC on Sunday.
"They are able to buy vehicles, weapons, food supplies and equipment. Technologically they're more savvy. It's more difficult to flush them out. So, they are like Al Qaida on steroids."
At his base in Sulaimaniya, nestled in the hills of the Kurdistan region of Northern Iraq, Talabany painted a picture of an organisation that has spent the past 12 months rebuilding from the ruins of its so-called Caliphate.
"We see the activities are increasing now, and we think the rebuilding phase is over," said Talabany, who heads the Zanyari Agency, one of two intelligence agencies in Iraqi Kurdistan.
A different kind of Daesh has emerged, he said, which no longer wants to control any territory to avoid being a target.
Instead, the extremists have gone underground, in Iraq's Hamrin Mountains.
"This is the hub for Daesh right now," said Talabany, adding: "It's a long range of mountains, and very difficult for the Iraqi army to control. There are a lot of hide-outs and caves."
The militants were also benefiting from strained relations between Baghdad and the Kurdistan regional government, following a Kurdish independence referendum in 2017, the BBC said in its report.
"In the delta between the Great Zab and Tigris rivers we can say they (Daesh militants) are permanently there," an Army General told the BBC.
"There is too much activity from Daesh in the area close to the Tigris. Day by day we can see the movement of Daesh, and the activities."
Brigadier General William Seely, the top US military commander on the ground in Iraq, told the BBC that the Daesh was trying to reconstitute itself but faces a different response from Iraqi and Kurdish security forces this time around.

No two weddings are alike, which is what keeps the wedding industry so fascinating year after year. From celebratory hashtags and social media announcements to mixed-gender wedding parties and the inclusion of local food, it's no surprise that personalization is the one constant theme. In this year's Newlywed Report, you'll notice a continued shift in the traditional wedding season and how couples are relying on technology from the engagement through their wedding day. Planning is also starting earlier than ever before.
'Tis the season for proposals, as nearly 40% of all engagements happen between Thanksgiving and Valentine's Day. While 52% of individuals are surprised by the ring, 1 in 3 show their partner photos of the ring and/or style they like. (Fun Fact: 3 out of 4 Millennials even go beyond the ring and start planning their wedding prior to the proposal!) Given the natural excitement, couples are quick to pick a date with the majority now setting their sights on a Saturday in the fall.
The average age of today's marrying couple is 32. With a new generation redefining cultural and societal norms, we're seeing new behaviors grow in popularity – such as couples meeting online, a 16% increase in interracial marriage and an increase in mixed gender wedding parties.


Getting to interview one legendary singer about another legendary singer was quite the honor at Feinstein's/54 Below's press day as Ann Hampton Callaway & I discussed the world premiere of her newest show The Linda Ronstadt Songbook.
I don't think there is anyone else who could bring a show like this to life. Ann's voice is a gift to us all and hearing her sing "Somewhere Out There" during this press preview was a moment I will always remember! Ann has done her homework in learning the ins and out of Linda's life & music. This show is going to be something very special.
This show celebrates the many faces of love in Linda Ronstadt's iconic songs from her Stone Poney Days like "Different Drum" and "Long Long Time" to pop/rock classics like "You're No Good" and "Desperado" to unforgettable classics from her three Nelson Riddle albums like "What's New" and "Am I Blue" to her iconic duets which Ann will perform with her brilliant MD, Billy Stritch. Adding to the electrifying sound is Martin Wind on bass, Tim Horner on drums, and Linda's long time guitarist and arranger, Bob Mann. Romantic, rousing, and joyous, The Linda Ronstadt Songbook promises to be the perfect night of music.
The Linda Ronstadt Songbook will play Feinstein's/54 Below on September 19, 21, 22 at 7pm. Click here for tickets!
For more on Ann visit http://www.annhamptoncallaway.com and follow her on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!
1. This September is the world premiere of your new show The Linda Ronstadt Songbook at Feinstein's/54 Below. What made you want to perform a show of Linda's music? I have a real passion for women who have inspired me. I feel a connection to Linda because she has always followed her heart and has gone in so many interesting directions. She's a real renaissance woman. She has been so successful with every type of music she's done and has performed with so many different people. She's a kindred spirit.
My wonderful wife, Kari, who's from Tuscan, AZ where Linda is from said to me, "You should do this show" and I just felt, "Why haven't I done this show?" One of the reasons is because I don't really sing a lot of rock 'n' roll or country music kind of things. I sing Nelson Riddle type of Great American Songbook and I thought I might center the show more around that, but now that I'm delving into her pop songs, I'm really falling in love with them and with what's happening to me when I'm singing them.
I think this is going to be very exciting for my fans and friends to see a different part of my musicality. Getting to know Linda personally over the past year has been a breathtaking experience. She's a beautiful human being and to have this much grace and dignity especially during a time when she can no longer sing is remarkable. Performing this show is my way of saying thanks to Linda.
2. One thing I do find interesting, and we don't have to talk about it if you don't want to, but like you mentioned, Linda can no longer sing anymore and last year you had a a little scare...Yes, as a matter of fact, that's when I was starting to get to know her. I thought to myself, "This is really ironic that I'm putting myself in her shoes literally."
Not only could I not speak for two months, my doctor literally told me, "I"m not sure you'll ever sing again." So, I have this new relationship with music as I've been given a new gift to continue to sing. Every time you have a heartbreaking experience, it deepens your soul. So, there is a very poignant aspect to this show on many levels.
I'm going to try to use my gift that I've been re-given to honor Linda and the beautiful music she has done through the years. She's one of our country's most beloved and important singers. I think she deserves to be celebrated in a big fashion.
3. Which song did you know that you wanted to include right away? Well, there were so many songs. "Somewhere Out There" was definitely one of them because it allowed me to sing with Billy Stritch, who is one of my favorite people and musicians, and "Don't Know Much" is going to be a lot of fun to do together. "Heart Like a Wheel" is an incredibly beautiful song. She was also a ballad singer and I'm all about the ballads, so I'm looking forward to doing "What's New" I've never performed that song before. The three albums she did with Nelson Riddle were just amazing, so I'm excited to sing some of those songs.
4. What song just didn't make the cut? You know, I'm still creating the show, but there are so many songs I'd like to do....I'd like to do "Sorry Her Lot" from The Pirates of Penzance, which Linda performed on Broadway. I'm ultimately looking to have this as a two-act show.
I'm premiering the two-act version with the Buffalo Symphony Orchestra in November, so I'm going to get to do more songs and have that beautiful backing. It's going to be a lot of fun.
5. Well, I love that you just performed "Somewhere Out There." That was mine & my mom's favorite song growing up. I even got a little choked up as you were singing it. You made it sound like whole new song, yet you know who sang it originally, yet you gave it your own spin to it....And that's the beauty of doing a tribute show. You don't want to sound like the person that you're honoring. You want to find your own voice and what do these songs mean to you. Not only do they have the meaning in my life now, but I want to go back to that time in my life when I first heard her sing that song and discover where was I then and where have I come from.
There's a real poetic feeling to singing "Poor Poor Pitiful Me" now that the #MeToo movement is going. Linda was there in the '60s singing a song about an issue nobody else was touching at the time. She had the courage to talk about it.
If you read her autobiography she has a lot to say. There's a lot more to Linda Ronstadt than people might know. I'm looking forward to sharing that with my audiences.
Unfortunately we had to wrap up our interview, but be sure to go see Ann Hampton Callaway perform The Linda Ronstadt Songbook at Feinstein's/54 Below on September 19, 21, 22 all at 7pm. Click here for tickets!

Love potion works its magic
By Gill Booysen — Sunday, May 23, 2010
Wide blue skies, a windmill atop ochre coloured hills, and the token sheep of an outback station set the opening scene of the QPAC production The Elixir of Love firmly in Australian territory. The light-hearted opera, written in two acts by prolific Italian composer Gaetano Donizetti, premiered as L'elisir d'amore in Milan in 1832.
This lively production of the universal story of love overcoming class division, with a bit of assistance, has been cleverly adapted to appeal to a wider, typically Aussie audience.
The joyful romantic comedy, laced with patriotism and created by Simon Phillips, features the Queensland Orchestra and the Opera Queensland Chorus, energetically conducted by Graham Abbott. Bass-baritone Andrew Collis is superb as the self-promoting, shady quack Dr Dulcamara. The encyclopaedic doctor is aided by his bumbling, hip flask-nipping sidekick.
Brisbane tenor Virgilio Marino embraces his love struck farm boy role as Nemorino and engages well with his seemingly unattainable love interest, wealthy Adina, beautifully sung by Brisbane soprano Natalie Jones (pictured above).
Jose Carbo, baritone, is excellent as the pompous, cocksure Belcore, Nemorino's rival for Adina's affections. Soprano Emily Burke is a buxom, energetic Gianetta.
While performed in Italian, the tongue-in-cheek tone of the embellished, projected translations gives this production a uniquely Aussie flavour. Operatic novices and a younger audience will gain an understanding of the script through the subtitles. While enhancing the comedic aspect of the production, the translations could be described as lingo as opposed to literal, perhaps leading to a raised eyebrow with opera purists. The audience may have difficulty reading the subtitling as the lighting is not very bright; the words are projected high above the stage making it difficult to take in the scene and words simultaneously from the stalls.
The conductor is to be admired for his control of the timing and tempo; all three units performing are dependent upon him for direction. The music provides the emotional barometer by which the appropriate mood is set, with the musicians playing a huge part in the success of this opera. When the artists sing unaccompanied, the lack of music adds to the impact of the song
Jose Belcore as Belcore charms Natalie Jones as Adina
By singing towards and appealing to the audience to invite participation, the cast court interaction with the viewers. The interplay between the cast and the music is integral in upping the ante when it is required and vice versa — rolling crescendos build up and alternate with gradual decrescendos, as prescribed by the particular piece in the opera.
There are many memorable song sequences in this entertaining opera. The chorus are responsible for many rousing moments, as when they literally sing the doctor into town. Nemorino (Marino) sings the famous aria "Una furtiva lagrima" (A furtive tear) upon realising that the potion has worked.
In the memorable chicken coop scene, Gianetta (Burke) sings a beautiful solo. Adina (Jones) and Dr Dulcamara (Collis) have good rapport and sing a lovely duet where he attempts to convince her to use the potion. Adina delivers a beautiful song when she appeals to Nemorino near the end, swearing her love as he in turn draws it out, pretending self harm. There is some beautiful harmonising between them and she demonstrates her vocal range with the delivery of a well executed cadenza.
The principals make use of exaggerated gestures and posturing to get the message across, to draw a laugh while enlisting audience support. Belcore really makes a show of proposing on bended knee and emphasising his difficulty in doing that! Gianetta tries to seduce Nemorino, dramatically hanging onto the wire mesh of the chicken coop to make her point! Adina violently swats imaginary flies as she lies on her picnic blanket, reading the love story of Tristan and Isolde.
Far from opulent, the set remains true to the rural, outback location; the appearance of corrugated iron is ingeniously used in the construction of hills and animals, anchoring the production in its rural setting. Set designer Michael Scott-Mitchell uses minimal, simple set arrangements which extend the expansive outdoor theme. The use of silhouettes growing ever larger as they approach from upstage is a clever one and adds depth to the stage. The chicken coop scene with the hung crescent moon is astonishingly simple in its execution but very effective, containing the village women as a unit, focussing the attention of the audience and centring the action.
Costume designer Gabriela Tylesova allows the clothes to successfully speak for their wearers. She keeps the clothes of the chorus fairly uniform with neutral and muted earthy tones of khaki, pale apricot and cream aprons and straw hats for the women. Clothing is generally simple and fits the outback theme; male chorus members wear Aussie hats and farm clothes.
The soldiers are caricatured in jodhpurs, green jackets and ammunition belts. Belcore, resplendent in boots and needing to assert himself, carries a whip to highlight his masculinity.
Andrew Collis as snake-oil salesman Dr Dulcamara works on Virgilio Marino as Nemorino
The garish purple and lilac outfit of the sly doctor, finished with debonair black and white wingtip shoes, reflects his colourful character. His eccentricity is underlined by the over the top yellow waistcoat and umbrella he wears when he makes his first appearance. The simple white dress sparsely decorated with flowers that Adina wears towards the end allows her to stand out from the general cast, appearing feminine, genteel and refined. The festivities of the party scene are complemented by the cheerful addition of flowers to the hats of the women.
In the end, Nemorino is rewarded with Adina's capitulation and the elixir of love is much in demand; in a slightly jarring twist that perhaps smacks of commercialism, a large canned drink dispenser decorated with what looks to be part of the Coca-Cola logo appears on stage — the doors are flung open and — yes, Coca-Cola bottles are revealed and dispensed!
This entertaining, funny, light-hearted opera is energetically presented and wholeheartedly enacted; the orchestral music enhances the show and there are some memorable songs and voices. While opera aficionados will take pleasure in it, it is a great operatic appetiser for the first time or younger opera goer. Bravi!

A biosimilar is a "generic" version of a registered biologic medicine, meaning that it is a medicine produced from living cells using biotechnology (i.e., recombinant DNA technology, controlled gene expression or antibody technologies). Biologic technology has enabled the development of new treatments for many life-threatening and rare illnesses, such as cancer, diabetes, anaemia, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. However, original biologic medicines are often expensive. A biosimilar can be produced at a significantly lower cost, which reduces the price and increases the number of patients with access to the medicine.
A biosimilar is highly similar to the original biologic reference product in terms of quality, safety and efficacy. To prove this, various clinical studies including phase 3 safety and efficacy trials have to be conducted as part of the registration requirement.
"For every 1% that the price of these life-saving medicines drop, the number of patients that have access to them increases by 1%. Helping to increase competition in the market also means that patients could have access to newer and improved medications much sooner," Miller says.
Filgrastim Teva is used as a supportive treatment to counter one of the major side-effects of chemotherapy. It often occurs that chemotherapy drugs disrupt the production of immune cells in the bone marrow of patients, leading to a condition known as neutropenia. If untreated, this can progress to neutropenic sepsis, which is a potentially life-threatening complication.
This new biosimilar works by stimulating bone marrow to produce new white blood cells. In doing so, it decreases the duration of neutropaenia experienced by patients after receiving chemotherapy.
"Introducing Filgrastim Teva to the South African market will enable us to reduce the cost of treatment for neutropenia significantly. Cancer patients are able to reduce their total oncology expense by using biosimilars such as Filgrastim Teva and more affordable generic chemotherapy treatment," explains Miller.
"This is a proud moment for Cipla, and we hope that this is the first of many more oncology biosimilars to be introduced to the South African market. Together with Teva, we aim to truly make a difference in the lives of many more patients," Miller concludes.

When tragedy strikes a family suddenly, it draws strength from different unknown places. For the family of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, the strength comes from the courage of Rep. Gifford herself, and from her husband, one of our true American Heroes, US Astronaut Mark Kelly.
Born February 21, 1964, in Orange, New Jersey.
Captain Kelly received his commission from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in June 1986, and was designated a Naval Aviator in December 1987. While assigned to Attack Squadron 115 in Atsugi, Japan he made two deployments to the Persian Gulf aboard the USS Midway flying the A-6E Intruder All-Weather Attack Aircraft.
During his second deployment he flew 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm. He completed 15 months of graduate work in Monterey, California, before attending the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School in June 1993.
After graduating in June 1994, he worked as a project test pilot at the Carrier Suitability Department of the Strike Aircraft Test Squadron, Patuxent River, Maryland, flying the A-6E, EA-6B and F-18 aircraft.
Kelly was an instructor pilot at the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School when selected for the astronaut program. He has logged over 5,000 flight hours in more than 50 different aircraft and has over 375 carrier landings.
NASA selected Captain Kelly as one of 35 astronauts in the 16th group of astronauts, in April of 1996.
Captain Kelly served as pilot on STS-108, the 12th shuttle flight to visit the International Space Station. Endeavour's crew delivered the Expedition-4 crew and returned the Expedition-3 crew, unloaded over 3 tons of equipment and supplies from the Raffaello Multi-Purpose Logistics Module, and performed one space walk to wrap thermal blankets around ISS Solar Array Gimbals.
STS-108 traveled 4.8 million miles orbiting the earth 185 times in 11 days, 19 hours and 36 minutes.
STS-121 was a return-to-flight test mission and assembly flight to the International Space Station. During the 13-day flight the crew of Space Shuttle Discovery tested new equipment and procedures that increase the safety of space shuttles, repaired a rail car on the International Space Station and produced never-before-seen, high-resolution images of the Shuttle during and after its July 4th launch.
The crew also performed maintenance on the space station and delivered and transferred more than 28,000 pounds of supplies and equipment, and a new Expedition 13 crew member to the station. The mission was accomplished in 12 days, 18 hours, 37 minutes and 54 seconds.
STS-124 was the 123rd Space Shuttle flight, and the 26th Shuttle flight to the International Space Station. STS-124 was launched from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, and docked with the International Space Station on June 2 to deliver the Japanese Experiment Module-Pressurized Module (JEM-PM) and the Japanese Remote Manipulator System.
STS-124 Shuttle astronauts delivered the 37-foot (11-meter) Kibo lab, added its rooftop storage room and performed three spacewalks to maintain the station and to prime the new Japanese module's robotic arm for work during nine days docked at the orbiting laboratory. STS-124 also delivered a new station crew member, Expedition 17 Flight Engineer Greg Chamitoff. He replaced Expedition 16 Flight Engineer Garrett Reisman, who returned to Earth with the STS-124 crew.
The STS-124 mission was completed in 218 orbits traveling 5,735.643 miles in 13 days, 18 hours, 13 minutes and 7 seconds.

Yes, it is in the hoc/mrc directory.
At the time I invested quite some time to get it documented and to provide working examples. Exposure at SimToolDB makes it more likely this effort pays off. It would be very welcome if it became available there.
Printing the NetCon.syns was illuminating. Some of my NetCons contained other targets than expected. I supppose this is a blessing in disguise because it clearly showed the difference between what I thought my code was doing and what it actually did.

Pipeline spews crude in California but none reaches beach (Update)
by Alicia Chang

An underground pipeline spewed thousands of gallons of crude oil Thursday near the Southern California coast but the foul-smelling goo was contained in a lengthy stretch of ravine and never reached nearby beaches.
About 29,000 gallons of oil spilled and flowed at least a quarter-mile in the canyon near Ventura, fire authorities said.
Resident Kirk Atwater said he called 911 after smelling and hearing the flowing crude.
"We started getting this horrendous smell and I knew right away what it was," he said.
Atwater, 56, said he went up the canyon on his motor scooter and found the oil gushing from an above-ground box that he surmised covers equipment.
"It was just pouring out like water coming out of a fire hydrant," he said.
He said he found a posted phone number and reported the leak to the pipeline company.
Fire crews responded and a pump house operating the line was shut down. Firefighters built a dam of dirt to keep the oil from moving farther.
The oil left a black stain down the brush- and tree-filled arroyo.
The line operator, Crimson Pipeline, estimated that at most 25,200 gallons were released, said spokeswoman Kendall Klingler. The cause was under investigation, she said.
The spill was the 11th for Crimson since 2006, with prior releases totaling 313,000 gallons of crude and causing $5.9 million in property damage, according to accident reports submitted by the company to federal regulators and reviewed by The Associated Press.

The largest was a 2008 spill of 280,000 gallons—one of three blamed on an equipment failure. All the spills occurred in Southern California.
The leak Thursday occurred near a valve on an underground line that runs from Ventura to Los Angeles. The line was closed for maintenance and crews had replaced that valve the day before, Klingler said.
The line contained a total of 84,000 gallons of crude.
"The initial concern was that there was a chance that it could have made its way further, but the spill was contained very early on and a lot of damage has been mitigated because of that," Klingler said.
The spill occurred in the Hall Canyon area and flowed into the Prince Barranca, a ravine that ends near the Ventura Pier. Initial projections that up to 210,000 gallons may have spilled were later reduced.
The oil was produced by a company called Aera Energy.
Firefighters had a training exercise with Crimson and an oil spill cleanup company about two weeks ago, including building a dam as was done Thursday, Ventura County fire Capt. Scott Quirarte said.
Four of the prior Crimson spills were blamed on corrosion and two on excavation damage. An electrical arc from a power pole was the cause of another leak.
Klinger defended the company's safety record and said most of the past spills were caused by third parties.

The company says its California network traverses about 1,000 miles and moves nearly 200,000 barrels—8.4 million gallons—of oil daily.
The Crimson line is an intrastate pipe, meaning it does not cross out of California and is therefore outside of federal jurisdiction, said Artealia Gilliard, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration.
Gilliard said the federal agency was sending personnel to assist on scene but the investigation would be led by California officials.
The spill came 13 months after more than 120,000 gallons of oil spilled on the coast of neighboring Santa Barbara County. Some of the crude flowed into the ocean at Refugio State Beach and killed birds and sea lions.
That pipeline, owned by Plains All American Pipeline, was found to have corrosion.
Federal regulators said last month that Plains failed to prevent corrosion in its pipes, detect the rupture or respond swiftly as crude streamed toward the ocean on May 19, 2015.
The report was issued just two days after Plains was indicted in Santa Barbara County Superior Court on 46 criminal counts, including four felonies of polluting state waters and three dozen misdemeanors of harming wildlife.
