NSW Ombudsman Bruce Barbour caught lying to Ray Hadley re: paedophile Knox Grammar teacher
By Shane Dowling on March 8, 2015 • ( 24 Comments )
In 2008 the NSW Ombudsman Bruce Barbour lied in an interview with radio announcer about why he did not refer paedophile teacher Adrian Nisbett to the police in 2004. What Mr Barbour didn't count on was a Royal Commission some 5 years later subpoenaing documents that show his lies and then publishing those documents on their website.
The evidence that proves this is the transcript of the Ray Hadley interview, a letter from Knox Grammar to the Ombudsman's office and an internal report by the Ombudsman's office.
The Royal Commission into Child Sexual abuse will destroy many reputations by the time it is finished and another one that can be added is Bruce Barbour.
If there are allegations that a teacher has acted in a criminal manner in their dealings with a child then there is only one option and that is to call the police and let them investigate. Mr Hadley even says as much to Bruce Barbour in 2008.
The Royal Commission have subpoenaed many documents that tell a damming story regarding the cover-up by the Ombudsman's office. I will only focus on a few at this point but there are many others. (Click here to see all the documents) The Ombudsman's office has admitted their failings to a degree and said it was "remiss in not pursuing a referral to the police". (Click here to read more) But that is a pathetic excuse and should not save Bruce Barbour.
I will give some backgrounding but try to focus on the documents and what Bruce Barbour said in 2008 which was a clear lie. The questions that need to be asked is why did he lie and why did the Ombudsman's office cover-up what was happening at Knox Grammar?
Knox Grammar
There had been a paedophile ring operating at Knox Grammar School in Sydney for years. Most of it in the 30 years that Dr Ian Paterson was Headmaster (1969-98), but also under Headmasters Peter Crawley (1999-2003) and John Weeks (2004-current).
Some of the things that Ian Paterson and others knew but failed to act on includes but is not limited to:
1975: Paterson writes to Roger James telling him he cannot go on camp with boys. In evidence he said it was because James was "too close" to them.
1986: Learns of inappropriate behaviour by Adrian John Nisbett.
1987: Craig Treloar admits to watching pornography with a student, but does not mention sexual activity with the boy.
1988: Formed the view that the so-called balaclava man who sexually assaulted a boy in a boarding house may have been teacher Christopher Fotis.
1989: Learns that Damien Vance has indecently assaulted a student; discovers that Fotis has been arrested for masturbating outside a school. Both are allowed to resign.
1992: Learns of allegations that Barrie Stewart molested a student; discovers another student has formed a sexual relationship with a teacher, ARZ.
1996: Anonymous information about sexual abuse involving six teachers at the school provided to NSW Police and an inspector from the Child Protection Enforcement Agency attends the school to speak with Dr Paterson.
He does not tell the officer what he knows about the teachers and refers her to their staff files which do not contain information about sexual abuse.
1998: Paterson retires as headmaster.
1999: The cover-up continues under Headmasters Peter Crawley (1999-2003) and John Weeks (2004-current).
2003: NSW Ombudsman audits Knox Grammar regarding Child Safety. Finds nothing wrong.
2004: Documents show that from at least 2004 the NSW Ombudsman's office was aware of the alleged sexual abuse of children at Knox Grammar but failed to notify the police nor take any action.
2008: NSW Ombudsman Bruce Barbour gives a scandalous interview with 2GB's Ray Hadley justifying their failure to act.
2009: Five teachers arrested over sexually abusing students and later convicted. (Click here to read more)
The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse is investigating how institutions like schools, churches, sports clubs and government organisations have responded to allegatios and instances of child sexual abuse.
It is the job of the Royal Commission to uncover where systems have failed to protect children so it can make recommendations on how to improve laws, policies and practices.
The Royal Commission is about creating a safer future for children. It can look at any private, public or non-government organisation that is, or was in the past, involved with children. This includes where an organisation caring for a child is responsible for the abuse or for not responding appropriately, regardless of where or when the abuse took place.
Terms of Reference were established and six Commissioners were appointed on Friday, 11 January 2013 by Her Excellency Quentin Bryce, Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia. (Click here to read more)
Ombudsman's office and Bruce Barbour
The NSW Ombudsman is meant to be an independent and impartial watchdog, in the same as the Commonwealth Ombudsman. Investigating corruption is meant to be a large part of their role but in reality they cover-up more corruption than they expose.
The management of the Ombudsman's office is overseen and driven by the senior officers group (SOG).
"The SOG is made up of the Ombudsman, three Deputy Ombudsman and the Directors of the corporate branch and strategic projects division. They usually meet weekly to update each other on their work and discuss any significant issues." (Click here to read more)
So how many people in the Ombudsman's office know that Bruce Barbour lied to Ray Hadley?
Ray Hadley Interview – 2008
Radio 2GB Interview: Ray Hadley and NSW Ombudsman, Bruce Barber
RH: Good day, Bruce.
BB: Good day, Ray, how are you?
RH: Good, mate. Now I would have thought as a layman the first port of call would be the coppers, I'm wrong obviously?
BB: Look Ray, that would be the case if it was a criminal offence and if the allegations were sexual misconduct or sexual assault. Now obviously I can't talk about the specific circumstances in relation to the Knox matter in 2004.
RH: Right.
BB: But if I can tell you generally when allegations are made of a kind of grooming, in other words, possible inappropriate conduct, getting too close in terms of relationship with someone, that is not a criminal offence. And any investigation of those allegations requires the cooperation of the people involved. In other words, the people making the allegations and the alleged …..
RH: So we've got a fine line here. As opposed to the man being charged now with indecently assaulting three boys and we make no reference to the guilt or innocence of that party, those were not the allegations back in 2004 by the look of it, or by the sound of it?
BB: No. If allegations of that kind were made and ?………… …………..not only would we say to the school refer them to police, but we would also make sure that they are referred to police. And I'm delighted that as a result of the publicity that's been given to the first incident, that other people have felt comfortable enough to come forward because this is one of the problems we experience. Particularly with male victims, they feel very embarrassed, they don't want to become known for having been a victim of any abuse and they often don't come forward.
(Click here to read the full transcript) Ray Hadley also interviewed the mother of a victim the next day which covers the same matter. (Click here to read the transcript)
Letter from Knox Grammar Headmaster John Weeks to the Ombudsman's office
In 2004 the Ombudsman's office was contacted twice by the current Headmaster, John Weeks, in relation to paedophile teacher Adrian Nisbett. The Ombudsman's office advised Mr Weeks to do nothing regarding contacting the police. This advice was given even though Weeks had an internal school investigator (Mr Wilson) report that there was evidence that Nisbett had been grooming a child for sexual abuse. Kylie Symons from the Ombudsman office was aware of this as a letter dated the 7th June 2004 shows.
Mr. Wilson concluded from his investigations: "I find that there is sufficient evidence to sustain an allegation that Adrian Nisbett behaved in a way which constituted grooming in the sexual abuse context and that he failed to meet the professional standards expected of him as an employee of Knox Grammar School. I find that the matter requires disciplinary action." (Click here to read the letter)
Lies of Bruce Barbour – Sexual/indecent assault
Barbour said to Ray Hadley in relation to referring the matter to the police "Look Ray, that would be the case if it was a criminal offence and if the allegations were sexual misconduct or sexual assault."
Barbour clearly implies the complaint was not sexual misconduct. Well the matter was sexual misconduct as the report says "constituted grooming in the sexual abuse context". The Ombudsman's own report which reviewed the actions of Knox Grammar called it "sexual/indecent assault" and said the complaint was "sustained" and also "sexual misconduct/grooming" and "Allegation sustained". Both of those allegations say that the "Ombudsman determination" was "Agency finding reasonable" which means the Ombudsman's office approved of those findings. (Click here to read the report)
Sexual and indecent assault are criminal offences and it is the Ombudsman's own findings. So why did Bruce Barbour or anyone else not refer it to the Police? Grooming is also a criminal offence (Crimes Act 1900 – SECT 66EB), whether it was is 2004 I do not know. But even so that should have been referred to the police as well as grooming is a sign that abuse is occurring or about to and Bruce Barbour would be well aware of that.
Another document I came across is an email from Anne Barwick in the Ombudsman's office to a victim of Adrian Nisbett which says that there is nothing they can do to help him. I do not know who Anne Barwick is but she should be sacked as well. (Click here to read the email)
I have not heard or read of anyone demanding the sacking of current Knox Grammar Headmaster John Weeks. What"s the saying? "The more things change, the more they stay the same" I think everyone involved at the "born to rule" Knox Grammar School should be ashamed of themselves.
I emailed some questions to the Ombudsman's office and received the standard reply refusing to answer questions. (Click here to read the emails)
Bruce Barbour is quickly gaining a reputation for covering up corruption. A NSW Senate inquiry was conducted only a few weeks ago into why Mr Barbour was failing to investigate police and judicial corruption in a timely manner. It's been over 2 years already and he is still not finished. (Click here to read more) Add that to the above and it is time Mr Barbour was sacked for at the very least dereliction of duty. Criminal charges against Mr Barbour should also be pursued such as concealing a criminal offence.
Why the Royal Commission has not called Bruce Barbour to give evidence at this point is unknown. Maybe they are still investigating him and his office.
I will follow-up with this matter. If you would like to contact the Royal Commission click here for their contact details.

Joe Hockey gives the F U to social media journalist while telling court how accessible he is to voters
What can I say about this, only that I feel Sick to my Stomach and I can't but ask what else is being covered up by the NSW Public Service and its Bureaucrats … !!
I wonder how many Knox Old Boys are working in the Ombudsman's office? And on staff at the Royal Commission?
There seems to be a backlog of possible police referrals from the RC.
I wonder how many nicely blackmailable "Old Boys" are scattered in positions of power throughout Public life in this country?
Pat McCann says:
Why would anyone want to 'blackmail' the "old boys"? You are referring to the VICTIMS are you not? I hope all parents have removed their sons from Knox Grammar !
The people who cover this abuse up are worse than paedophiles.
It's just never ending isn't it ? All high level allegations of abuse of children , and what do we see ? Cover-ups ,and hiding behind Acts and Legislation ,If it's not Police ,its Teachers If its Not them it's the Churches ,or the Judicial System ,thought id heard it all in regard to the Yeshiva Colleges and others ,but obviously not .
I would personally like to deal with the issues of Paedophiles/ and Justice , or lack of , if only I had the chance , People who protect them are on the exact same level or worse than the Paedophile it's self, notice I say IT , they deserve no mercy and hanging them would be a good deterrent , and Dumb Aussies still think that the Average paedophile is your neighbour or some "ordinary" person ,and not the Government Institutions , But clearly anyone with half a brain would know better ,
Lets hope these scum get what they truly deserve ,and that is Pain Suffering and Hardship , Just before they get Hung .
I wonder if they would protect them if it meant a trip to nusakambangan was the punishment
That's the whole Point ,Currently there is no deterrent ,no punishment , and no Justice , like the X principal never reported anything in what 30 years ? and now instead of him appearing via Link from Jail he enjoys freedom at the expense of the Victims and Personally appears at the Commission . " How Long will they Rape Our Children while we stand aside and Look "
Con Dassos says:
I'm always left speechless when I read how those who know they have greatly wronged others maintain a defiant air of ingenuousness….. Such narcissists! Very very toxic to everyone and everything decent.
interested says:
Please read how Brad Hazzard protects the NSW Ombudsman from legal proceedings:
"As the government and Mr Barbour were fighting moves to establish the current parliamentary inquiry into the long-running scandal in November, NSW Attorney-General Brad Hazzard introduced a bill to change the Ombudsman's Act.
The act already shielded a serving ombudsman, staff and consultants from being compelled in legal proceedings to appear as a witness or produce documents relating to their work"
http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/government-protected-accused-ombudsman-bruce-barbour-from-future-legal-proceedings-20150202-133wl3.html
Shane Dowling says:
The Royal Commission managed to get many documents from the Ombudsman's office so I assume a Royal Commission overrides any protection.
But i am not so sure the RC itself is squeaky clean. Look at how Abbott's good mate Pell 'fessed up and was allowed to flee to Rome by way of a promotion. Or can a RC extradite cardinals from the Vatican?
But we could safely say I think ,that the corruption and placement of key people within the Commission ,and the Ombudsman as well, will override any justice that we would see if there were any credible people in these important positions , the only people who can fix this mess is us ,because our so called Governments are a Massive Part of the Problem ,and We the People put them there . { How Dumb are we ?}
maritarose says:
I read with horror how "our ABC" Mark Scott is on the council of Knox and when asked he laughed off a query by Gerard Henderson about the goings on at Knox that everybody knew about. Inferring that Mark Scott chased the Catholic church with conviction over paedophilia there at Knox, and yet when it comes to his responsibilities, he is happy to laugh it off and turn a blind eye. The bigger they are the harder they fall.
You are correct on this and further, Gerard Henderson wrote an article in the Australian on 7/3/2015 page 17 outlining the utter contempt and hypocrisy of the ABC's arrogant Mark Scott.
I've just started a new thread called NSW Ombudsman and Knox Grammar on http://www.whirlpool.net.au with a link to this post. Quick smart – they deleted the thread within few minutes.
Exactly who are they….?
nottwistedyet says:
It is really sickening, that these people, feel that they should protected.
It did not really surprise me that Mark Scott is on the Board of Knox Grammar, but the way he replied to Gerard Henderson was totally unwarranted.
It is not funny!
I find it rather concerning, that this man is in charge of our ABC, the manner in which he allows the shocking bias and actual lies to go to air by their so-called presenters makes me ill.
Please remember, all mainstream media is not your friend- no matter what alias is put forward. So one should avoid any form of trust in their 'reporting' or opinions.
It is one of many tools used by others (like many business', many organisations & groups, many professional bodies, many of our society's "leaders" and the majority of politicians to intentionally mislead and destroy. It is historically a weapon of mass destruction! It does not care for you and me in any way whatsoever!
You only find the truth by asking more & more questions and demanding more & more answers.
Why wouldn't John Weekes have reported that issue directly to police?
Mark Scott laughed at Gerald Henderson's question about peadaphiles did he, I wonder if his laughs were as loud as those he laughs at all the gullible Aussies that pay his 800,000 dollar salary for running a left wing green based national TV company,at tax payers expense.I suppose if he got nobbled he would end up with a dodgy ombudsman too. Allan from Myalup WA.
Just_Passing says:
I believe it was ABC chairman Jim Spigelman that responded to Gerard Henderson with a poor attempt at humour, not Mark Scott
Bruce Barbour is protected from legal proceedings and still keeps his highly paid job.
In 2010, his salary was $406 285.
http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/pay-rises-lift-top-public-service-wages-to-500000-20101119-180zw.html
Will he ever be sacked?
davey street says:
Never hear a mention on their ABC that the ABC CEO, Mark Scott is a BOARD MEMBER OF KNOX GRAMMAR and has been for many years.

The following example codes demonstrate how to send email using Exchange WebDAV in Delphi.


It is unclear what constitutes a clinically-meaningful response for allergic rhinitis (AR) outcomes. In a recent survey  most experts defined control as being "hardly troubled at all" by each symptom. We propose a new criterion of ≤1 point remaining in each nasal symptom score (Max AM+PM score for each symptom=6) of the reflective total nasal symptom score (rTNSS) to stringently test efficacy and provide an endpoint meaningful to physicians and patients. This criterion has been termed complete/near-to-complete symptom control. Any treatment providing this level of control (patients will feel "cured") should have considerable socioeconomic impact.
To compare the proportion of patients achieving ≤1 point remaining in each of the 4 symptoms of the rTNSS (congestion, itching, rhinorrhoea & sneezing) and the time taken to achieve this response in patients treated with MP29-02* (a novel intranasal formulation of azelastine hydrochloride [AZE] and fluticasone propionate [FP]), FP, AZE or placebo (PLA) nasal sprays.
610 patients (≥12 years old) with moderate-to-severe seasonal AR were randomized into a double-blind, placebo-controlled, 14 day parallel-group trial to receive MP29-02*, commercially-available AZE or FP nasal sprays or PLA nasal spray (all 1 spray/nostril bid; total daily dose [AZE: 548µg, FP: 200µg]). The primary outcome was change from baseline in rTNSS over 14-days. Time to achieve ≤1 point remaining in each nasal symptom (AM + PM) of the rTNSS was assessed post-hoc by Kaplan-Meier estimates and log rank tests.
17.8% of MP29-02* patients (1 out of 6) achieved this response versus 8.3%, 9.2% and 7.8% of those treated with AZE, FP and PLA, respectively. MP29-02* patients achieved this response up to 7 days faster than AZE (p=0.0152) and up to 8 days faster than either FP (p=0.0262) or PLA (p=0.0094). Neither AZE nor FP differed from PLA for this parameter.
MP29-02* provides faster and more complete symptom control than first-line therapies for AR. One out of 6 moderate to severe AR patients achieved complete/near-to-complete and uniform symptom relief days faster than either FP or AZE. MP29-02* is the drug of choice for AR treatment since it was the only therapy to rapidly provide such a level of symptom control. This endpoint should become a new standard in assessing the efficacy of current and novel AR therapy.

Have you stared in wonder at the raw power of nature during a big storm? If you find yourself filled with awe at winter weather in the United States, you should try storm watching. You can enjoy these storms by pulling on your rain gear and really experiencing the wind and rain, or you can find a good beachfront room and cozy up next to a blazing fire, and marvel at the storm from the comfort of the indoors.
The Pacific Coast is a great destination for storm watching. A mild climate makes it possible to enjoy outdoor activities during the peak storm season, from November to February. The coast has powerful storms throughout the winter. Strong winds along the coast create strong swells in the ocean. When the surf crashes into the rocks you can hear the roar of the waves and watch the mist spray up into the air. Rain turns the entire sky gray, and the wind can blow raindrops horizontally.
Winter storms have started to draw visitors to places like Gold Beach, Oregon and Long Beach, Washington. These destinations have plenty of opportunities to watch the storms from inside, at restaurants and beach-front hotels. You can also brave the chilly rain and wind to experience the storms from the outdoors.
When the storms have calmed, you can spend some time beach combing. The strong wind and waves bring all sorts of treasure to the beaches. Gold Beach, Oregon is a great storm watching spot because this is the area where the Rogue River meets the Pacific Ocean. Where the river flows into the ocean you will see some very interesting tidal actions. Long Beach, Washington is a summer destination and has many resorts and hotels right along the beach, which provide great indoor visibility of the powerful winter storms.
If you decide to venture outdoors during one of these storms you need to remember some of the dangers that the storms can pose. Always be careful of the waves. Sometimes you will be surprised by sneaker waves. The storms cause the surf to be much stronger and can alter the currents, so pay attention to the ocean when walking on the beach. You also need to be careful of logs being tossed onto the beach by the waves.
You can more safely enjoy the power of the storm from higher ground. If you find a good spot above the beach you can watch the waves crash against the rocks or dunes. A storm can change a normally calm ocean into a sea of tumultuous white caps. From higher ground you will better see the trees bend under the strong winds and feel the rain as it blows horizontally across your face.

Nat'l Review and Political Cesspool's Derbyshire says women should not have the right to vote
pams
Conservative writer John Derbyshire went on Alan Colmes's radio show and showed his not-so-inner bigot and misogynist. I'll just let him speak for himself. (Think Progress):
John Derbyshire, a British-American conservative author and columnist for the National Review, has written a new book titled We Are Doomed: Reclaiming Conservative Pessimism. The book contains a section called "The Case Against Female Suffrage." Yesterday on his radio show, Alan Colmes asked Derbyshire to articulate his argument.
DERBYSHIRE: Among the hopes that I do not realistically nurse is the hope that female suffrage will be repealed. But I'll say this – if it were to be, I wouldn't lose a minute's sleep.
COLMES: We'd be a better country if women didn't vote?
DERBYSHIRE: Probably. Don't you think so?
COLMES: No, I do not think so whatsoever.
DERBYSHIRE: Come on Alan. Come clean here [laughing].
COLMES: We would be a better country? John Derbyshire making the statement, we would be a better country if women did not vote.
DERBYSHIRE: Yeah, probably.
Did I mention that Derbyshire has a wife, Rosie and two children, Dannie and Nellie? I wonder how those views go over in that household. He also said that he would like to repeal the 1964 Civil Rights Act because you "shouldn't try to force people to be good." Well, in spite of that law, we still see a ton of racism out there. Obviously you can't force people to renounce their racism.
Bonus points! He has appeared as a guest on The Political Cesspool. Remember that? It's the a white nationalist, white supremacist, conspiracy theorist, and extreme right-wing radio show broadcast hosted by none other than James Edwards, who called me a "black lesbian pervert" for pointing out Hank Williams Jr's racist ways.
From an earlier post about Edwards:And on the guest list of this proudly racist, anti-Semitic, homophobic radio show's site you'll find MSM talking heads like Bay and Pat Buchanan. Pat, btw, stands next to a beaming James Edwards on the site's photo page. Edwards is also photographed at an event with former KKK Grand Dragon/Wizard/WTF-ever David Duke, who has also been a guest on The Political Cesspool. The mission of the Cesspool dovetails nicely with the Klan's, by the way:
America would not be as prosperous, ruggedly individualistic, and a land of opportunity if the founding stock were not Europeans.
Since family is the foundation of any strong society, we are against feminism, abortion, and primitivism.
We wish to revive the White birthrate above replacement level fertility and beyond to grow the percentage of Whites in the world relative to other races.
We are cultural conservatives because we have certain morals to which we adhere. We are against homosexuality, vulgarity, loveless sex, and masochism.

Stephen Colbert mocked Eric Trump so badly it has to be seen to be believed.
The moment came after Colbert played a clip of the young Trump child saying that 95 percent of the United States supports him, the camera cut to Colbert doing his Eric impression.
"I've got big gums, and I cannot lie," Colbert said.
"Yeah, 95, guys, I'm tellin' ya," Colbert said, pretending to be Eric with his lips curled up.
Tuesday, CNN released interviews with Texas Trump supporters who defended his racist attacks on four Congresswomen of color. Wednesday night, Van Jones showed his panel of supporters of both President Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama. But things got tense when a Black Trump supporter was asked about the president's racially charged statements.
Two men, one white one Black, in the group said they supported Trump and probably would again because business was good. Two women in the group lamented that Trump's racism was hurtful for the country.
"I just go back to values," the older women said. "I value treating people with dignity. And if there is anything that is incongruent with those values, then I'm not for that. So I'm not going to put profit over my values."

In Prospect Park, finding mushrooms—and a few other surprises.
One snappy day last October my husband and I had some things to talk over so we went for a walk. Instead of finding solutions, we found mushrooms, which may amount to the same thing.
On the way to Prospect Park, we stopped at Blue Apron in Park Slope for picnic fodder: ham and a baguette.
At the cash register I begged for a few bags for the mushrooms I hoped might be waiting in the woods. On a November foraging tour with Steve Brill the year before, I'd scored an oyster mushroom and I had a feeling that we might get lucky again today.
"Plastic is not good for mushrooms!" said the friendly and well-informed guy behind the till, handing me paper sacks. "Be careful…" added a customer.
Once in the color-turning woods we scanned every tree and log. We'd begun to give up hope when I froze. "Mushroomsssss," I hissed, pointing and trembling like a bird dog at a dead fallen tree a ways off the path. We waited for one of the solitary men who frequent this part of the woods to pass, then stepped into the leaf litter.
The pale and unmistakable oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) were stacked thickly on the log like undersea fans beneath the falling yellow leaves. With a sharp pocketknife we sliced off about a third of what we found—there were far more than we needed for a meal, and my mother had taught me to leave some behind: for other foragers, for regrowth, for the forest.
On the way home, sacks bulging, we stopped in at Blue Apron again to give them some mushrooms as payment for the bags. No one took us up on the offer (not that I blame them: beware a woman bearing mushrooms), but one staffer said she had recently found chicken of the woods mushrooms in Prospect Park. Hmm. At home, I sliced and sautéed our prize in sweet butter with a clove of garlic, some lemon juice and a splash of cream. Pepper, pappardelle and a delicate rain of grated Parmigiana made a cool-weather feast. The next night I fried up two of the large white fans as steaks, to accompany an oyster mushroom risotto.
I returned to the woods in November with my friend Ellen Zachos, an experienced mushroom hunter. Our goal this time was hen of the woods, or maitake (Grifola frondosa), rumored to appear here in the last forest in Brooklyn. They grow at the base of oaks and appear year after year in the same spot.
Amid the tall, old trees and whispering leaves we found a wig-wam, Pink Berry cigar wrappers, Dorito bags, wet wipes; juice, rum and vodka bottles; and many condom wrappers and their former contents.
After a few minutes under the brightly leafed trees, Ellen pounced. The first hen of the woods, still distinctively frilly and coiffed like an image-conscious ash-blond hedgehog, was a little dry at the edges. Later Ellen made a broth from her share, and I a finely chopped base for a pizza. The flavor was strong and intensely, addictively mushroomy. The second, football-size hen was younger, softer, more dewy when touched. The curls lay flat, rather than pointing in all directions. This one made a memorably good chicken cacciatore.
My mushrooming had acquainted me with the sad city litter that festoons this forest's floor, and for every mushroom clump I found, there seemed to be a mountain of trash. This juxtaposition of the delicious and the insalubrious inspired me to form the Prospect Park Litter Mob, a volunteer group that meets every other Tuesday to pick up litter and perform woodland restoration. During one cleanup, I spotted a picture-perfect chicken of the woods (Laetiporis cincinnatus), where it grew a few inches from used condoms and soiled tissue. Torn between desire and distaste, I left it.
But I will be back in these clearer, colder months, looking for high-growing oysters, whose habit seems to keep them literally above the fray. I have seen them appear overnight on the same logs in summer but in the sticky months they soon grow spongy—and attracting bugs and flies, they're often riddled with critters. The cold weather keeps them clean and beautiful. Perhaps, one day, the woods will be clean and beautiful, too.
I have since found oyster mushrooms near and far: beside a mountain pool in Cape Town, South Africa; in the woods of Pennsylvania; on a tree stump on Congress Street—peed on serially by dogs with oblivious owners—and growing out of a wooden planter in a garden on a sixth-floor terrace. Chances are, there is an oyster mushroom nearer to you than you think. Proceed hopefully.
Read before eating: Some wild mushrooms can kill you. If you are new to mushroom foraging, do not rely solely on book or online identification. Only eat wild mushrooms that have been identified by an experienced mushroom hunter, in person. Always make a spore print. Even if verified edible, eat a small piece and wait 24 hours before eating any more. Symptoms of life-threatening poisoning usually only appear after many hours or even days.

The Battle Back competition results are in! The Battle Back competition was a series of 4 competitions with the first 5 evictees going head to head for a chance to get back into the Big Brother house. The 1st evictee faced off against the 2nd evictee and the winner faced off against the 3rd evictee. The winner of that competition faced off against the 4th evictee. Finally, the winner of that comp faced off against the 5th evictee. So with these odds, Tiffany is the heavy favorite to come back in the house being that she only has to win one comp.
First up, we had Glenn vs. Jozea! They are playing the log competition that was the 2nd HOH competition of this season which Paulie won. Looking at pure physicality, Jozea is the favorite to win this one. The competition was a close one. They added a poison berry that allowed you to empty out your opponents stack of berries. Jozea used his at the perfect time and wiped out Glenn's berries which solidified his lead. Jozea wins the 1st round of the Battle Back competition.
Now, we have Jozea vs. Victor!! It's the competition that was the 3rd HOH competition of the season with the bounces the balls off of the bouncy platform that looked like a tennis racket which Bridgette won. Since Victor won a competition while in the house, he really has the advantage because we know he can win he needs to.

Victor wins the 2nd round of the Battle Back competition.
Next, we have Victor vs. Bronte! This competition was similar to the 4th HOH competition that Paulie won.

When All The Planets Align
Wednesday, December 13th, 2006 by Drew McManus
After much public scrutiny surrounding his departure from the Chicago music scene and even more speculation about whether or not he would return anytime soon, Daniel Barenboim is heading back to Chicago…
However, Mr. Barenboim won't be taking his accustomed place on the podium at Symphony Center. Instead, he is appearing less than half a mile away at one of Chicago's newest concert venues, the Harris Theater In Millennium Park.
Mr. Barenboim will be conducting the Arab-Israeli West-Eastern Divan Symphony Orchestra for a one-concert-only performance of standard repertoire by Beethoven, Mozart and Brahms. According to a press release from the Harris Theater, this performance will be the orchestra's only U.S. appearance outside of New York City for 2006. Furthermore, the concert was only announced publicly barely more than a month before the scheduled performance date.
Intrigue Abounds
The publicity surrounding the event suggests intrigue and interest on a variety of layers. On one layer, Mr. Barenboim's appearance is barely more than six months since his farewell concert with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. His departure as music director for the world-class ensemble was clouded by disagreements between the conductor and CSO management over the nature of music director responsibilities.
On another layer, the orchestra, a 78-member youth orchestra (ages 14 to 25) composed of Israelis playing alongside Arabs from Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Tunisia, is a focal point for international events unfolding in the Middle East. You would have to live in a cave not to realize that issues and events in that region evoke such passion that they polarize a multitude of individuals in countries around the world
In fact, security for this concert is no secondary matter. According to Michael Tiknis, Harris Theater Managing Director, the identity of the orchestra's hotel is being kept secret and the theater is implementing special security measures,
"The orchestra's security for the concert here and in New York City is very tight," said Michael. "We've been working with the Chicago Police Department and a private security firm to provide all of the security for our event. We will even have metal detectors in place at the theater the day of the concert."
Additionally, the orchestra's arrival and departure times are not listed on commercial flight schedules. Michael went on to say that the orchestra is arriving in Chicago via a charter flight provided at a discount by United Airlines, one of Harris Theater's regular sponsors.
Pulling the Planets Into Alignment
Everyone who works behind the scenes in this business already knows that it takes a year or more to arrange special concert events. As such, you might think that Mr. Barenboim's appearance with the West-Eastern Divan was planned well before he left Chicago after his final concert at the end of the 2005-2006 concert season. If so, you'd be absolutely wrong in this case. According to Tiknis, discussions about bringing the conductor and the ensemble to Chicago didn't begin until the summer of 2006.
"We started talking to David Foster, president of ICM, about the idea and he was skeptical at first," said Michael. "Convincing him and Mr. Barenboim that it would be well promoted and thus well attended was a crucial element. But a large collaborative effort allowed us to meet that challenge and let this come together."
In fact, the one and only date and time which would work for the ensemble was already booked by a local Chicago ensemble. Furthermore, the organization had to rely on direct communication with Mr. Barenboim to make the arrangements and everything planned had to first have his personal approval
"We didn't begin to talk about logistical issues until August," said Michael. "By the time we started looking for a date in late September, the only day and time which worked conflicted with the Apollo Chorus of Chicago's Messiah concert."
One Uncommon Collaboration Prompts Another
Fortunately, the West-Eastern Divan spirit of collaboration served to pave the way for overcoming what would otherwise be deal-breaking barriers. According to Tiknis, working things out to reschedule one of Chicago's larger Messiah went smoother than might be expected.
"We worked closely with [Apollo Chorus board vice-president] Dick Glennie and [General Manager], Greg Kolack," said Michael. "We asked them if they could move their concert but that there was no obligation to do so. They put a great deal of time in to make this work including surveying the schedules for more than 150 musicians and singers to see if moving the concert would work.
As it turned out, they were able to move their concert to that evening so we could have the West-Eastern Divan here in the afternoon. We made some concessions to the Apollo Chorus for their flexibility and so far everything seems to be working out great: tickets for the West-Eastern Divan concert are selling very fast as are tickets for Apollo's Messiah concert. We expect both events to be well sold."
Michael pointed out that it is difficult to miss the fact that the concert is surrounded by cooperative symbolism.
"I'd say this was such a cooperative effort and in an industry that doesn't always understand flexibility, this is shaping up to be a winning project," said Michael. "Having this work out so well as the result of extraordinary cooperation during a holiday season that is special to a number of different faiths is something that makes both concerts something special."
I contacted Joan Harris, Harris Theater board chair, to ask her what she thought of putting together this concert at a breakneck pace and she echoed Michael's observations on the spirit of cooperation during a special time of year.
"The Harris Theater is so proud to be this responsive to the opportunity to bring the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra to Chicago," said Joan. "I believe so strongly in what this orchestra represents and I'm equally thrilled to have Daniel Barenboim back on mid-western soil, even if it's for 24 hours."
Tickets range in price from $52 to $98. For tickets, or additional information, call the Harris Theater box office at 312-334-7777 or log on to www.harristheaterchicago.org.

I don't particularly consider myself a fan of Barenboim the conductor, but seeing him with this orchestra that means so much to him is a very intriguing prospect, so that hopefully my travel plans work out and I'll be there. At least we can say now that after this, Barenboim really won't come back.
PS: Thanks also for the heads up about the security.

Jonathan is a character in the Hebrew Bible, appearing in 2 Samuel and 1 Kings.

He is introduced as the son of Abiathar the High Priest in 2 Samuel 15:27. He was also a companion of Ahimaaz, son of Zadok: together they work as messengers for David during Absalom's rebellion (2 Sam 15:36). 2 Samuel 17 describes an incident in which they hide from Abasalom's men in a well in Bahurim.

In 1 Kings 1, during Adonijah's conspiracy, Jonathan tells Adonijah that David had made Solomon king (1 Kgs 1:43). Jonathan is not mentioned again, and misses out on becoming high priest, since his father is replaced by Zadok.

Keith Bodner calls him an "under-rated (yet intriguing) character", and notes that he is "used in a larger discussion about succession", which Bodner argues is ironic, "since he himself is banished into obscurity by the succession of a rival house."

Jonathan was the 9th Samaritan High Priest according to Samaritan Genealogical Records.

A question I am routinely asked is where is the best place to perform a ritual. The easiest answer to this, is anywhere. A ritual can be performed anywhere that has been properly cleansed and consecrated, regardless of where the location is. I know many people that have choice but to perform rituals in very close quarters, such as in a small closet or in their bathroom, and still have great success with their work. However, there are some places that are more ideal than others, and things that need to be taken into consideration when determining the best location for you to do your work.
In my personal opinion, the best location for performing a ritual is outdoors. I feel it is the spot that is most conducive to the energies that I am appealing to and helps to make my work more powerful. I do realize though, working outdoors is not an ideal option for everyone. Some people are unable to work outdoors due to physical limitations, or simply because they live in an area where it is not possible for them to have the privacy that they need. It can also be quite difficult to focus on your ritual when it's 20 degrees outside and your teeth won't stop chattering, or it's a hot and balmy summer night and the mosquitos are buzzing in your ears.
If you are performing your spells outdoors, there are a few things that you will need to consider. If you are with a group of people, is there ample room for everyone to park and gather? Will anyone have a difficult time walking to where the actual ritual will take place? If you are meeting in a public location, are there any special permits required for group gatherings? Will your privacy be respected or will your ritual be interrupted by people passing by? All of these things should be considered when you are planning a gathering, even if you are planning on performing your ritual in your own backyard either with a group, or by yourself.
Some people will say that in order for you to successfully perform your ritual, you must do so in a place that is considered sacred. In all honesty, I have mixed emotions about these sentiments. I myself believe that any spot can be consecrated and deemed as sacred to an individual. However, those supporters of this belief often feel that the "sacred" place is a spot that is completely devoted to your worship or ritual only, and other acts are not performed in this location, thus helping the spot to remain sacred.
There is a part of me that does somewhat believe with this sentiment. While I do believe that with the proper cleansing, consecration and mindset a person can make any spot sacred to them, I do personally find that having a designated area that is devoted to worship and ritual does help to make rituals more effective. I also believe that there are certain sacred spots that hold so much power due to the devotion people hold to the place. Even so, I realize that it is not always possible for a person to have a devoted location for their work which is why I personally try to stress the point that you can make almost any spot sacred.
As long as you are dedicated to properly cleansing and consecrating a space, and have the mindset that while you perform your ritual there that place is sacred, I think you can perform your rituals most anywhere. After all, one of the key elements in our craft is that we can personalize it and do what works and feels best for us. Choosing where you perform your rituals is one of those personal choices. As long as you do so with a pure mind and heart, the location isn't as important as some people make it out to be and you can still have a very meaningful and powerful ritual.
A term that I have heard my mother use for many years, is "Slow and Steady, Fast and Fragile." One of her favorite statements, she has used that phrase to cover a variety of things. From doing school work to building a personal relationship, my mothers advice was always the same. Slow and steady, fast and fragile.
As I have grown older, I have adopted this statement for myself as well. This is especially true in magick, as rushing through your spell or ritual hardly ever provides the results you are looking for. But this saying also applies to other things in Wicca as well, including your desire to start practicing the craft.
When a person is first starting to explore Wicca, it can be an exciting time. And why not? Perhaps I'm a bit biased as a witch myself but I think Wicca is wonderful! Even so, you cannot expect to start exploring Wicca one day, and the next suddenly be an expert that is performing spells and rituals that are always successful. You have to take the time to learn all that you can so that you are fully prepared and educated to properly handle the work before you. That's not to say that you should spend years in study before you begin experimenting with various spells. However, having patience and taking your exploration slow is important. If you go to fast, the foundation of your knowledge may be too fragile and quickly start to crumble around you.
Being slow and steady is also something that even the more experienced witch needs to remember when practicing their work. A spell or ritual requires your undivided attention in order to be successful. You must be able to remain focused, without interruption or worry. If you are rushing through a spell quickly, chances are it will be a huge waste of time. Rather than trying to get that ritual in before you have to leave to pick the kids up from the babysitter, just wait. A spell that is performed too quickly without your full attention not only has the potential to be unsuccessful but damaging as well. Remember, slow and steady wins the race.
It almost seems to me as though people are becoming genetically coded to rush through life at full speed, with no concern of how quickly they are going or whether things are actually getting completed properly. In fact, whenever I hear the saying "They don't build them like they used to" I am often reminded of my mothers favorite phrase. They really don't build them like they used to, because today it is all about getting "them" build as quickly as possible. Whereas the builders in generations past took pride to build things with their own hands and take the time necessary to make sure that the quality of the work was superior and "steady," modern builders only care about getting it done fast. There is no concern for quality, nor concern for how "fragile" something might be.
Yes, the life we are living right now is short. But that is no reason to speed through life not taking the time to do things properly. Whether you are doing something as mundane as cooking your nightly dinner, or something more complex such as performing a ritual or a spell, stop, slow down and make sure that what you are building is steady. Don't go through life so fast that everything you build is as fragile as glass, for when it all comes crashing down it can end up being very painful.
As a witch, it is very important to me to connect with nature on a daily basis. My love of nature is a profound part of who I am, and I could not imagine not having it around me constantly. Fortunately, I am blessed enough that it is very easy for me to connect with nature on a daily basis where I live. I do realize however, that for some people it is not always so easy. Those of you that may life in suburbia or in large cities may have it a bit more difficult to make that connection daily, but fortunately there are some things that you can do.
Making a connection with nature does not have to be as difficult as some people think it is. You do not have to go on some wild journey through the wilderness to connect with the natural world around you. The connection can be as simple as growing a single flower in a flower pot, or believe it or not, having a fish tank next to your desk that you can enjoy. Making a connection with nature is a cinch. You simply need to learn to enjoy things that are from the natural world.
In a world with homes outfitted with central heating, air conditioning, electricity and more, it is easy for use to lose touch with the natural world. We've become so dependent on modern technologies and so obsessed with being civilized, that to many people anything natural is viewed as "dirty." In fact, nature is the cleanest, purest thing that we have in our lives and is something that many people have forsaken.
Even if you live in a large city or suburb, there are still many places where you can make a connection with nature. Take a walk in the city park. Visit a pond or lake to view the wildlife. You can even simply walk through a rain shower or frolic in the snow and make a connection with nature that you never would have imagined.
Perhaps there are certain conditions you face which present you from performing such tasks so easily. You can still make a connection with nature right from the comfort of your home if that is the only option you have available to you. You can place a few birdfeeders outside of your windows so that you can watch the birds feed. Become a plant hobbyist and start cultivating a variety of different indoor and/or outdoor plants that you can enjoy. One of my absolute favorite ways to "get back to my roots" and make a strong connection with nature is to garden, and there is almost nothing I enjoy more than getting my hands dirty playing in the dirt while planting new plants that I can enjoy.
The ways that you can connect with the Earth are endless. Watching the sun rise or set, or simply gazing at the stars twinkling in the night sky make a connection with the universe that is unsurpassed. Watching the ant build it's colony or the bird build it's small nest helps to connect you with the simple acts of nature that are so important to the natural world that we live in. You see, in nature, everything works together. There is a balance that is essential to life as we know it. Once we open ourselves to see and recognize that balance, the world as we know it is forever changed. We realize that as humans, we do not dominate the world, but have part in a perfectly synchronized performance that happens naturally everyday.
I hope that all of you have found some way to make this beautiful connection with nature, and are able to enjoy the wonders of the universe that surrounds us in all of it's glory.
While some ritual tools can last a lifetime, there are some that you may at some point find need to be retired. Perhaps your favorite goblet has developed a crack, or your crystal ball has a mar in it. Maybe you simply feel that your tool has lost some of it's power, and is tired from a lifetime of magickal service. When it comes time to retire your ritual tools, there are certain steps that should be taken to ensure that your tools end their service in the proper and respectful way.
If you are extremely attached to your ritual tool, but feel it is simply not safe to use it anymore either because it is lacking in power or has become fragile, you can of course simply put the tool away in a safe place where it can live out the rest of it's life in a peaceful place. You should of course cleanse the item before storage, but once the item is cleansed you can then store it in a cabinet, drawer or storage chest. If you desire you can absolutely put the tools on display for others to admire, but be careful allowing anyone to handle the tool if it is delicate and damaged.
Some people may consider the magick of sharing when retiring their ritual tools. Maybe the tools is simply something you were once fond of, but no longer enjoy. Perhaps you feel the tool still has a great deal of power to it, but it no longer speaks to you. In these cases, you may decide to share the tools and pass them onto others to use in their magick. Just because one tool may not work for you, does not mean it will not work for someone else. There are many ways that you can share your tools with others, and possibly even gain some new tools for yourself as well.
Tool swapping is very popular between witches. Maybe your friend has a robe that she no longer wants, but you absolutely adore it. At the same time, she is fond of the crystal wand you have but never use. Swapping these tools is a great way to enjoy the magick of sharing, retire your ritual tool, and gain a new tool all at the same time! You may also consider donating the tools to new witches that are just getting started and have yet to establish a good set of working tools, or to a teaching coven or group that teaches beginners how to properly use such tools.
In some cases, you may feel as though the tool just simply needs to be disposed of. This can often happen when a tool has somehow absorbed too many negative energies and cannot be thoroughly cleansed and restored with positive energy. There are different ways that you can respectfully and effectively dispose of the tools to let the energies be placed back into the universe and taken care of properly. In my personal opinion, the two best ways to do this are by burial or by fire. If you choose to bury the item, you must make sure that the tool you are burying will not harm the environment in any way. Next, you will need to make sure that the tool is buried in a location where it will not be disturbed or found.
If you choose to destroy by fire, make sure it is done in a safe manner and that the item will not release dangerous smoke toxins, explode, or anything else of that nature. All of these retirement methods should be performed with the proper ceremonies, with a circle of protection in place and your sincerest thanks for the service the tool has provided for you.
After a time, retiring your ritual tools is inevitable. Otherwise, you may end up with a house full of old ritual tools that are not used, and may be causing your home to harbor negative energy. By using these methods you can easily prevent this from occurring, and help to retire your tools in a manner that is worthy for them.

Home Politics & Policy Activists protest Hudson County jail after immigrant detainee's death
Activists protest Hudson County jail after immigrant detainee's death
Around 50 activists protested across the street from the Hudson County jail this evening, calling for the county government to cancel their controversial 287g agreement with U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE) after the death of Rolando Meza Espinoza.
[fve]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5GIVgi5s-M&feature=youtu.be[/fve]
"No excuses for human rights abuses!" and "What do we want: justice! And when do we want it: Now!," were just a few of the chants heard across the street from the Hudson County jail in Kearny tonight, recently renamed the Hudson County Corrections & Rehabilitation Center.
Signs ranging from "Justice for Rolando" to "America's Got Room Immigrants Welcome" set the tone before a roughly 30-minute program.
On Tuesday, March 28th, Meza, 35, a Honduran native, got into a carpool with his construction colleagues to head to a job site in Redwood, Long Island in what seemed like just another routine day, according to his attorney Manuel Portela.
"When he arrived to his construction job site at about 8:30 in the morning, Immigration Customs Enforcement agents were waiting, in a van, in a parking lot, nearby," continued Portela, a founding partner of the New York City-based Portela Law Firm, P.C.
He continued on by stating that ICE agents were looking for a Rolando Meza that received a 2005 order of deportation and was taller, with a darker complexion than Portela's client, the attorney alleged.
After being processed and finger printed in Manhattan, Meza was then transported to the Kearny jail the following day: March 29th.
Despite trying to get Meza released from custody, ICE did not comply and Meza was eventually taken to the Jersey City Medical Center ICU on June 8th.
On June 12th, seeking an update on his bond hearing, Portela was allegedly informed that Meza died from medical complications two days earlier, specifically due to internal bleeding and hemorrhagic shock.
Given the recent incident, the 10th ICE detainee to die while in custody this year, Dina Mansour, the outreach coordinator for the New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice, called for specific actions from the county in reactions to Meza's death.
"We're here today to demand justice for Rolando, but in addition to that, we're hear to call on Hudson County to end their relationship with Immigration and Customs Enforcement," Mansour stated.
"We're also hear today to ask for an independent oversight committee to oversee conditions and the things that are going on in the jail today. And we also demand a review of the contract of the medical service provider.
An ICE spokesman told the New York Post that Meza was in the country illegally and was arrested as "as part of everyday, targeted enforcement operations."
Other activist groups with representatives in attendance included the American Friends Service Committee, the Bronx Defenders, Faith in NJ, the First Friends of NY/NJ, the Legal Aid Society and Make the Road NJ.
A county spokesman could not be reached late Monday evening.

The German court has termed the Facebook's default privacy settings and use of personal data as "illegal". This judgement was handed down by a Berlin Regional Court which said that Facebook's default privacy settings violate the German's consumer law. The court further added, it is illegal because the U.S. social media platform did not secure the informed consent of its users.
The Federation of German Consumers Organisation (VZBV) is based on the country's Federal Data Protection Act. According to the Federal Data Protection Act, the user's consent is a must in order to collect and use the personal data. The providers must provide an understandable information about nature and purpose of the use of data enabling the users to make informed choices. However, the Tech Giant failed to meet these requirements by making the users to automatically opt into features which it should not have.
The court also ruled several Facebook's terms of service including its "authentic name" policy and data transmission policies as unlawful. The court added that in total, eight of Facebook's clauses were found to be illegal. This judgement was issued by the Berlin Regional Court on January 16 but it was publicly posted a copy of the ruling on its website on this Monday.
In response to the ruling, Facebook said that it would appeal the ruling. In a statement, Facebook said that it is making significant changes to its terms of service and data protection guidelines.

MAN IS THE BASTARD/BIZARRE UPROAR
SPLIT Vinyl Record
This split sound document between M.I.T.B. and Finland's BIZARRE UPROAR was recorded by BARNES (M.I.T.B. side) and MARKKULA (B.U. side) originally released as a 7" split EP by WOOD in 1993. M.I.T.B. side of the record- Sanctity of Oil- features five songs and delves deep into various human emotions and inner conflicts dealing with insurmountable fear; the inner mind and also being hemp conscience. Recorded at THE HEADQUARTERS by original guitar/noise member BARNES, Sanctity of Oil is uncompromising and adventurous in the classic "skull way", always reaching to acquire the perfect marriage of intellect and musical, progressive attack. BIZARRE UPROAR's M3A1 Sub-machine Gun explodes on the opposite side of the platter, carving deep audio wounds into the listener's minds and thought processes. Feverish raw detonations of percussive sound that NO ONE on this earth can do like B.U. PASI MARKKULA (former drummer for AUNT MARY) creates a backdrop for human destruction through a rigorous, extreme, volume drum onslaught, coupled with volume squeals and tones of horrifying imagery.

Q: neo4j count nodes with case statment I have this query :
match (campaign:Campaign)<-[:CREATED_FOR]-(facebookAlbum:FacebookAlbum)
where campaign.id="54b509ec851dd"
return case when campaign.isOpeningAlbum=0 then facebookAlbum
when campaign.isOpeningAlbum=1 then 1 end as result
ORDER BY facebookAlbum.openTime DESC LIMIT 1

I'm trying to return also the amount of facebookAlbums connected to the campaign, i try something like this:
match (campaign:Campaign)<-[:CREATED_FOR]-(facebookAlbum:FacebookAlbum)
where campaign.id="54b509ec851dd"
 return case when campaign.isOpeningAlbum=0 then facebookAlbum
when campaign.isOpeningAlbum=1 then 1 end as   result,count(facebookAlbum) as count
ORDER BY facebookAlbum.openTime DESC LIMIT 1

But it gives me the following error:
Unknown identifier `facebookAlbum`

I'm adding a link to an example db- http://console.neo4j.org/r/afozkf
From this graphDB, i need to get the facebookAlbum with the highest openTime and the amount of facebookAlbums connected to the campaign.
I'm checking also the isOpeningAlbum prop of the campaign. If it's 0 ok, if it's 1 then return is_opening_album=1

A: The issue here seems like you're using an aggregation count(facebookAlbum) (2nd when) and the unaggregated facebookAlbum (1st when and in order by) in the same statement - which seem to confuse Cypher (and myself as well).
addendum based on refined question
Try the following:
MATCH (campaign:Campaign { id:'123' })
OPTIONAL MATCH (campaign)-[:CREATED_FOR]->(facebookAlbum)
WITH campaign, facebookAlbum
ORDER BY facebookAlbum.openTime DESC
RETURN campaign.id, campaign.isOpeningAlbum = 1 AS opening,
       head(collect(facebookAlbum)) AS firstAlbum,
       count(facebookAlbum) AS count

This statement assumes that there are campaigns not having any albums - therefore using the OPTIONAL MATCH. The WITH and ORDER BY are used to make sure the albums are in timely order. The final return uses head(collect()) to find the first album and count is self describing.
In case you have a lot of albums connected to a campaign you might consider refactoring your graph model. The albums basically form a linked list based on creation time. Using NEXT or PREV relationships you can make that structure explicit in the graph and speed up your query a lot.

Troy Aikman: Doug Pederson wanted Jalen Herts, Jeffrey Lurie wanted Carson Wentz
Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie's decision to fire coach Doug Pederson may have stemmed from differing opinions about who should be the team's starting defender in the future.
Pederson believes Jalen Herts gives the Eagles the best chance of winning, and Luri wants to save Carson Wentz, according to Troy Aikman, who said in a Michael Irwin podcast that he spoke with Pederson after Pederson's dismissal.
"I contacted Doug Pederson yesterday when I heard the news," Aikman said. "What I found to be a difference of opinion on how to move forward in the quarterback position is what I felt. Jeff Lurie, the owner, has paid a lot of money to Carson Wentz and they are on the hook with him, they can't get out of this contract right away. I believe Doug Pederson sensed that Jalen Herts was probably the quarterback ahead. And how does this network work? "
Aikman said Pederson's shooting was "complicated" and not just for the quarterback's position. But the regression of Wenz and the emergence of the Hurts is a major issue for the Eagles to address in the future. And if Luri and Pederson weren't on the same page, one of them would have to go. And he wouldn't be the owner.

In case you missed it…Both Gubernatorial candidates touting the importance of strengthening Maryland's business competitiveness!
For the past two years, the Maryland Chamber and our partners have been talking about the importance of strengthening Maryland's competitiveness with other states on business issues, and that work has been paying off. Both of the major Gubernatorial candidates have made multiple statements about the importance of making Maryland more business friendly and highlighting their commitment to make Maryland more competitive with our surrounding states. Here are just a few of the things that the Candidates have said:
• "Brown argued that he and Hogan share common ground on cutting taxes and improving the state's business climate," – Washington Post, Oct. 7, 2014
http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/md-politics/brown-pledges-that-he-wont-raise-taxes-if-elected-governor/2014/10/07/cb20f3b6-4e3a-11e4-8c24-487e92bc997b_story.html
• "The lieutenant governor vowed to pass targeted tax cuts that would go to the smaller companies that he said create two of every three jobs in the state.
"It starts with small entrepreneurial businesses," Brown said.
Hogan suggested that while the Democrat has been promising to improve Maryland's business climate, the pledge is belated. "Why haven't you done anything about it for the past eight years," Hogan asked." – Baltimore Sun, Oct. 7, 2014
http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/politics/bs-md-brown-hogan-debate-20141006-story.html#page=1
• "There will be no new taxes," Brown said….Brown said he would direct tax credits at small businesses to help the middle class….Hogan said he wants to roll back as many tax increases as he can." – Frederick News Post, Oct. 8, 2014

Satire from The Borowitz Report
Growing Pressure on Obama to Do Something Stupid
By Andy Borowitz
Photograph by Pete Souza/The White House
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Arguing that his motto "Don't do stupid stuff" is not a coherent foreign policy, critics of President Obama are pressuring him to do something stupid without further delay.
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) led the attack on Thursday, blasting Obama for failing to craft a stupid response to crises in Iraq, Syria, and Ukraine.
"Instead of reacting to these events with the haste and recklessness they deserve, the President has chosen to waste valuable time thinking," McCain said. "This goes against the most fundamental principles of American foreign policy."
Graham also expressed frustration with the President, telling reporters, "The American people are waiting for President Obama to do something stupid, but their patience is wearing thin."
In his most withering criticism, McCain called Obama's "stubborn refusal to do stupid stuff" a failure of leadership. "If I were President, you can bet your bottom dollar I would have done plenty of stupid stuff by now," he said.
Andy Borowitz is a Times best-selling author and a comedian who has written for The New Yorker since 1998. He writes The Borowitz Report, a satirical column on the news.
