Vranov (jinak též Skála, Skály, Malá Skála či Pantheon) je zřícenina skalního hradu na pravé straně řeky Jizery, tyčící se nad severočeskou obcí Malá Skála, okres Jablonec nad Nisou. Z pozdně středověkého skalního hradu, jenž byl s délkou kolem čtyřset metrů plošně největší fortifikací svého druhu v českých zemích, se dodnes dochovaly jen nepatrné zbytky – překryté navíc romantickou přestavbou z počátku 19. století, díky níž se stal z místa svérázný skalní památník různých historických osobností. Pro své krásné výhledy ze strmých srázů, jakož i velmi členitý terén (plný schodišť, skalních místnůstek, sklepení, různých branek, teras apod.), je Vranov oblíbeným cílem turistů v oblasti PPk Maloskalska.

Historie

Archeologický výzkum dokládá existenci hradu pouze v 15. století, nicméně se nedá vyloučit, že na některých skalních blocích stály budovy už dříve. Ostatně obec Vranové je poprvé zmiňována roku 1382, kdy patřila pod dominikánský klášter v Turnově. Hrad byl vystavěn pravděpodobně na počátku 20. let 15. století, z let 1422 a 1425 o něm pochází první jisté zmínky. Tehdy jej vlastnili Heníček ze Skály a jeho otec Heník Štěpanický z Valdštejna a na Vranově. Ostatně Valdštejnům patřil po celé 15. století. Za Heníčkova syna v letech 1453–1487 se stal baštou husitství v oblasti a zažíval svůj největší rozkvět. Roku 1538 však panství koupil Jan z Vartemberka, jenž o hrad ztratil zájem. V průběhu 16. století hrad zpustl.

K určitému znovuoživení místa došlo v době romantismu v 19. století. Roku 1802 se novým majitelem panství Malá Skála stal textilní podnikatel (nákladník) Franz Zacharias Römisch, jenž jej odkoupil od Desfoursů. Ten zde nechat vybudovat Pantheon – soustavu pomníčků, zdobných uren, pamětních desek a nik s bystami, aby tak oslavil různé osobnosti jak z českých, tak světových (evropských) kulturních a politických dějin; kromě toho také pro sebe postavil na troskách býv. hradní kaple letohrádek (dnes v něm sídlí kavárna a občerstvení). Ovšem ani tato romantická přestavba se nedochovala v plném rozsahu.

TESTIMONY OF RICHARD L. SAUNDERS beginning at 15H577...
The testimony of Richard L. Saunders was taken at 11:45 a.m., on June 26, 1964, in the office of the U.S. attorney, 301 Post Office Building, Bryan and Ervay. Streets, Dallas, Tex., by Mr. Leon D. Hubert, Jr., assistant counsel of the President's Commission.
Mr. HUBERT. This is the deposition of Mr. Richard L. Saunders.
Mr. Saunders, my name is Leon Hubert. I am a member of the advisory staff of the general counsel of the President's Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy. Under the provisions of Executive Order 11130 dated November 29, 1963, and the Joint resolution of Congress No. 137, and the rules of procedure adopted by the Commission in conformance with the Executive order and the joint resolution, I have been authorized to take this sworn deposition from you.
I state to you now that the general nature of the Commission's inquiry is to ascertain, evaluate and report upon the facts relevant to the assassination of President Kennedy and the subsequent violent death of Lee Harvey Oswald. In particular, as to you, Mr. Saunders, the nature of the inquiry today is to determine what facts you know about the death of Oswald and any other pertinent facts you may know about the general inquiry and about Jack Ruby and his operations and associates and his movements such as you may know them on the pertinent dates.
Now, I think you have appeared here today by virtue of a letter written to you by Mr. J. Lee Rankin, general counsel of the staff of the President's Commission, asking you to come, is that correct?
Mr. SAUNDERS. That's correct.
Mr. HUBERT. What is the date of that letter, do you recall?
Mr. SAUNDERS. The date of the letter is June 22, 1964.
Mr. HUBERT. When did you receive it?
Mr. SAUNDERS. On June 24.
Mr. HUBERT. Under the rules adopted by the Commission pursuant to the joint resolution of Congress, all witnesses are entitled to a 3-day written notice prior to the taking of their deposition, but the rules also provide that they may waive that written notice if they see fit to do so and I ask you if you are willing to waive the 3-day notice and testify now?
Mr. SAUNDERS. That is correct. I will.
Mr. HUBERT. Will you stand, then, so that I may administer the oath.
Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you are about to give will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Mr. SAUNDERS. I will.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, first of all, I have previously handed to you so that you could read it, a document consisting of three pages, and which I have marked for identification as follows: On the first page in the right-hand margin I have marked "Dallas, Texas, June 26, 1964, Exhibit No. 1, Deposition of Richard L. Saunders", below which I have signed my name. The document as I said, consists of three pages and I have marked on the second and third pages my initials in the lower right-hand corner. This purports to be an interview of you by FBI Agents Peden and Garris on December 4, 1963.
I have asked you to read it and to state to me now whether or not this is a correct report of that interview. I notice that there are some little question marks that you have here and perhaps it is best to take them one by one.
Mr. SAUNDERS. In general substance, that is a correct statement. There are some minor clarification points which I would like to bring out.
Mr. HUBERT. I notice that there is a question mark, apparently, next to the last sentence of the second paragraph on page 1, which sentence reads as follows: "He estimated that it took him a total of 10 minutes to arrive at his office after the president's car passed him and said that this would make his arrival time at approximately 12:40 p.m." Do you have any comment to make about that, sir?
Mr. SAUNDERS. The travel time of 10 minutes is correct. The arrival time of 12:40 would be dependent upon the time of the assassination, which I am not aware of at this moment. In other words, if the President was shot at 12:30, I would have arrived at approximately 12:40.
Mr. HUBERT. Where were you when the President himself passed you?
Mr. SAUNDERS. I was approximately 100 yards west of the triple underpass, at the railroad overpass at Stemmons.
Mr. HUBERT. And you walked back ?
Mr. SAUNDERS. No; I was in my automobile. My car was parked at that
underpass and I was outside of the car at a police motorcycle barricade.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you in fact witness the shooting?
Mr. SAUNDERS. No; we could not see the actual site. We could see the building the Texas School Book Depository Building, but you could not see the area of the assassination from the area where I was positioned.
Mr. HUBERT. When you left the position from which you walked, were you then aware that there had been some shots fired?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Yes. There was one of our reporters, Mr. Larry Grove, was at that point with me and I asked Larry what had happened and he said both Connally and Kennedy had been shot. At that moment a directive came over the police radio on one of the motorcycles that the shooting came from--and they directed the personnel--whoever they were talking to over the radio to the given window, which has now been purported that from which the shots of the assassin came.
Mr. HUBERT. But you heard about it over the police radio of a motorcycle standing nearby where you were?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Right.
Mr. HUBERT. Was there a police announcement that the shots had come from
a particular window in the Texas Depository Building?
Mr. HUBERT. Do you remember if they described the window on the radio?
Mr. SAUNDERS. They said--I believe---it was the next to the top floor, an open window at the far right-hand side, and then there was evidently some communication there which I missed, and they clarified, "No; as you are standing facing the building it would be on the sixth floor."
Mr. HUBERT. Now, at the time you heard that, had the Presidential car carrying the President to the hospital passed by?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Yes; it was just moments before that they had passed by.
Mr. HUBERT. Could you see the President or the Presidential party?
Mr. SAUNDERS. We could see the party. You could not define anyone specifically in the car. There was what I now assume was an agent perched on top of the convertible in the rear, hanging on for dear life, and everybody else except the driver was crouched down in a pile, so to speak, in the car.
Mr. HUBERT. What about Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy?
Mr. SAUNDERS. You could see no one. It was just a mass of people. The
only two people you could possibly distinguish were the rider on the back seat of the convertible, with his feet in the seat sitting up in the back hanging on, and the driver in the car. The car went by at a very high rate of speed.
Mr. HUBERT. How long after that--after the shots--did you observe what you have just described?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Well, I heard no shots. From my point there was enough traffic noise and general commotion that you couldn't hear shots.
Mr. HUBERT. When did you become aware that the President had been shot?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Oh, not more than 1 minute after the car had passed.
Mr. HUBERT. In other words, when the car passed, you were not aware that there had been some shots?
Mr. SAUNDERS. No.
Mr. HUBERT. And it was only then when you heard it over the radio, I suppose, that you knew it?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Well, at that moment as the car went by, there were two, possibly three, cars came by a few moments later--not necessarily in a close group, but they came filtering through each in a high rate of speed.
Mr. HUBERT. How far were you away from the Presidential car?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Oh, 25 feet--two lanes of traffic.
Mr. HUBERT. Where was your car parked?
Mr. SAUNDERS. On the center median of Stemmons Expressway at the railroad overpass, approximately 100 yards west of the triple underpass. There is a bisecting rail line there.
Mr. HUBERT. You were standing beside your car?
Mr. HUBERT. Was there a police motorcycle there?
Mr. SAUNDERS. There were several police motorcycles there purportedly to stop traffic on Stemmons as the Presidential motorcade came through.
Mr. HUBERT. How far were you from the Texas School Book Depository Building?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Oh, roughly 150 yards--100 to 150 yards.
Mr. HUBERT. When you heard the news over the radio, the police radio, what did you do?
Mr. SAUNDERS. I got back in my car.
Mr. HUBERT. Were you alone?
Mr. SAUNDERS. I was alone; yes. I was headed to the building, to my office, at the time I stopped there.
Mr. HUBERT. What route did you take to go from the place you were parked there to your office building?
Mr. SAUNDERS. I took the cloverleaf off of Stemmons, which was another 200 yards south and turned back up Commerce Street and went through the triple underpass up to Young Street and turned--I mean--to Houston Street, and turned right on Houston Street down to Young Street, and my office is at that corner.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you park your car in the street?
Mr. SAUNDERS. No; I parked it in our parking stall at the rear of the building.
Mr. HUBERT. Then you walked up to your office?
Mr. HUBERT. Can you give us now an estimate of the time it took you from the time the Presidential car passed by you with everybody stooped down in it until you got to your office on the second floor?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Approximately 10 minutes--I would estimate.
Mr. HUBERT. Have you checked whether that can be done in 10 minutes?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Oh, yes; it can be done in much less than 10 minutes; however, with the general confusion around the area, the traffic was somewhat stacked up and after waiting for a couple of lights to get to the office, which I had to pass by--yes.
Mr. HUBERT. When you got to your office, did you see Jack Ruby?
Mr. SAUNDERS. I went directly to my office and as I walked into the office there were several salesmen in the office at the time, as is normal for noon deadlines on Friday, and I walked over to my desk and at that time Jack Ruby was standing beside my desk, or standing at my desk. He was not seated there.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you engage him in conversation in any way?
Mr. SAUNDERS. I spoke to him--this is a rather heated time of day any Friday in our business, particularly in my own instance, and I was dubious as to where we might stand as far as publication of the paper, due to the events that had just transpired, and I spoke to Jack--I had called on him previously. I had known him for 6 or 7 years, and I spoke to him, and each of us in the office were conversing to one another, and when I spoke to Jack he was very obviously
shaken, and an ashen color--just very pale he nodded in reply, if he replied anything--it was just in agreement, so to speak. We were making statements like "Well, this is terrible," and things like that, and he just agreed and nodded, and with that I sat down at my desk and finished some work which I was working on.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you see him thereafter?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Yes, he was wandering around in the office. After I finished some immediate work--he was talking to various people around the office and there was a small television at an adjoining desk and we were over there watch-
ing it at the time just generally milling around in the office.
Mr. HUBERT. This was Mr. Jeffery's office?
Mr. HUBERT. When you first came in, was Mr. Newnam there?
Mr. SAUNDERS. I don't recall.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, Mr. Newnam has previously drawn for us and identified as Exhibit No. 4 of the deposition of John Newnam, a chart showing the general layout of the second floor, the rectangular upper right-hand corner with No. 1 in it, being Mr. Jeffery's desk, and this dot with the circle being the television set.
Mr. HUBERT. I'm giving you this as a bit of orientation--this squiggly line is a glass partition?
Mr. HUBERT. Then, of course you see this is the promotion department?
Mr. HUBERT. He has numbered here the various desks in the advertising department?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Would you look at this and tell us which is your desk?
Mr. SAUNDERS. No. 5.
Mr. HUBERT. Was it at that desk that you spoke to Ruby, as you indicated a while ago?
Mr. HUBERT. Where was he with reference to No. 5?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Between 5 and 3--there are 4 desks there.
Mr. HUBERT. Your seat actually is also between 5 and 3, isn't it?
Mr. HUBERT. Was he on the Young Street side of your chair or the opposite side?
Mr. SAUNDERS. On the opposite side.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, I'm going to mark a place would you say he was here
or would you show me where he was?
Mr. SAUNDERS. May I?
Mr. HUBERT. Yes, indeed. Just mark an "X" to show where he was.
Mr. SAUNDERS [the witness so marked the exhibit].
Mr. HUBERT. Now, I will draw a little line out from here and say, "Ruby
position when Saunders saw him"; is that correct?
Mr. HUBERT. And you were on the Young Street side of Ruby, right?
Mr. SAUNDERS. No; we enter from this area here.
Mr. HUBERT. I see, you came from the other way?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Right. This is nothing but a blank wall with windows on this side the front of the building.
Mr. HUBERT. I'm going to mark a place called "Y" and ask you if that's when you saw him?
Mr. HUBERT. This is where you were "Saunders' position." How long did you talk to him--about?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Oh, just momentarily; just to speak.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you thereafter have any further conversation with him?
Mr. HUBERT. Now, you described him as being "shook up and ashen white,"
and of course by "ashen white" I think you probably mean pale?
Mr. HUBERT. Were there any other manifestations which led up to what is really an intellectual conclusion of being "shook up"?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Well, Jack is a very nervous individual and always has been. Having called on him in previous years and having known him from a business association over a period of approximately 6 years, you get to know an individual and their reactions to a certain degree. He was virtually speechless, which is quite unusual for Jack Ruby. He usually has a lot to say and will talk to you at very great lengths.
Mr. HUBERT. That was immediately after you came in?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Right--this was upon my entering the office there I went directly to my desk and spoke to him, and he just had a very dazed staring. look on his face. To describe it further is a little bit hard to do.
Mr. HUBERT. He didn't say anything?
Mr. SAUNDERS. No; not to my knowledge. Due to the fact that each of us were speaking to one another in tones of remorse and he was certainly replying just like any of the others, in agreement, that it was a terrible event.
Mr. HUBERT. At that time, was it known that the President had been shot?
Mr. HUBERT. It was not known, I take it, that the President had died?
Mr. SAUNDERS. No. There was some there were rumors around, possibly 30 or 45 minutes later, that he was dead, but it was not officially noted possibly for another hour or possibly an hour and a half.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, perhaps you had better go over some of the other question marks you have returning to the third paragraph?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Well, in this sentence, "When Saunders first saw him, Saunders felt that Ruby was probably more shook up than any of the other people in the office at that time." I don't feel that he was necessarily "more shook up" than anyone else, but he was very obviously shaken by the events and the news of the President's being shot.
Mr. HUBERT. You comment therefore is that this report indicating that you had said to the FBI people that he was more shook up or probably more shook up than any of the other people, is not an accurate statement of what you expressed?
Mr. SAUNDERS. I feel not.
Mr. HUBERT. And the accurate statement is that he was shook up like everybody else?
Mr. HUBERT. But not more so?
Mr. HUBERT. Now, turning to the second page of Exhibit No. 1, I notice that in the fifth line you have a question as to a sentence reading as follows: "He never doubted Jack Ruby's word at any time and Ruby never turned out to be a bad credit risk but always paid off exactly as he agreed."
Mr. SAUNDER. In our business association Jack Ruby's club, the Vegas Club, was not extended credit by the Dallas News, but it was what we term a "cash with copy" account. He was advertising with us steadily, as he always did thereafter. At the time I was calling on him, quite often he would place advertising copy very close to deadlines over the telephone, which was not convenient to run 10 miles out to his club and try and get cash, where we had a 5-minute deadline or 10-minute deadline. I, in my own workings at the paper quite often work with accounts, and if they tell me "I'll pay you tomorrow," I'll say "fine," and I'll go ahead and put the ad in the paper and go get the money the next day. This is what I would do.
I will not say I never doubted Jack Ruby's word at any time. I think that is a misquote. It is a fact that' he did do what he told me he would do on each instance, but any time In any business when you're .dealing with someone who is on a credit basis where there is no credit that has been established, you can't help but take a tongue-in-cheek attitude, and certainly the statement makes it sound like I am trying to whitewash him, which I certainly do not mean to do.
Mr. HUBERT. It's too broad--all you mean to say is that you would extend him credit on the terms yon just described?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Right---on a personal basis.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, I notice in apparently the 9th or 10th lines you have a question.
Mr. SAUNDERS. "Ruby never carried a gun on his person except on occasions when Ruby would be carrying money."
I have never seen Jack or known of him to be carrying a gun on his person, but as stated further on, I have seen him counting money in his club and place that money into a paper sack and at the time place a gun that was in or on the desk, into that paper sack and walk out with it, but never to be carrying a gun on his person, in such a manner as to be concealed within a coat or pocket.
Mr. HUBERT. In other words, your comment is that you don't know whether he ever carried a gun, except as you have just described?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Yes; as I have just described it, that's correct.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, the second paragraph--you have a little question mark there--"Ruby was known as being a woman chaser" what about that?
Mr. SAUNDERS. "And to be particularly interested in the strippers that worked for him."
Jack had related to me on occasion from time to time about that he might have dates with this stripper or that stripper, but not necessarily more so than any other girl that he might come in contact with. The point of being particularly interested in his strippers is somewhat misleading.
Mr. HUBERT. In other words, you think that the word "particularly" doesn't represent the thought that you meant to convey in the interview?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Right--that's correct.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, the next paragraph--there is a little question mark on the left-hand margin and I ask you what you have in mind there?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Well, this was just conjecture on my part, just as any other person following the various news medias that Jack Ruby had previously to the shooting of Oswald been down to the Western Union office and wired money to a girl in Houston, I believe it was, and then it was reported that he had a large sum of money on his person at the time of the shooting of Oswald. My conjecture was he might have had a gun with him for those reasons, strictly from past experiences where I knew he had a gun about his person or in a paper sack when he had extra large sums of money with him.
Mr. HUBERT. In other words, it's conjecture on your part?
Mr. HUBERT. And I think the way the statement reads it indicates it is conjecture?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Well, that's fine, but I did want that brought out that it is not a positive Statement.
Mr. HUBERT. It's not based on any facts you know about, but it's your estimate of the situation from what you knew of him and of his operations?
Mr. HUBERT. Now, I see your question mark as to the last paragraph too?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Oh, this is just my question here in regards to his telling me he had an injunction against another club advertising amateur nights of strippers. His point which he was attempting to show me one day--the injunction, which at the moment I was busy and didn't have time to wait for him and excused myself--I did not see an injunction and this was just his word, and it was just the fact that these amateur nights as such--my understanding of the law reads--you can't work as an entertainer unless you are licensed to do so.
Mr. HUBERT. Well, all the statement says is that some time before Ruby had told you that, and is it true, that he did tell you that?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Right "* * * only a short time before the assassination." Now, this was misleading---it was several days before. It wasn't in terms of minutes.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, I see no other questions, so I take it that otherwise this statement represents a fair and correct report of the interview with you, as amended and as clarified, or is there anything else?
Mr. SAUNDERS. I believe that will clarify any questions in my mind.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you talk to Ruby at any time about the Weissman ad?
Mr. HUBERT. Are you familiar with that ad at all?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Yes, I am.
Mr. HUBERT. He never spoke to you about that?
Mr. HUBERT. He never complained to you or made any comment to you whatsoever?
Mr. SAUNDERS. No, he did not.
Mr. HUBERT. Did he make any comment to anyone else within your hearing?
Mr. HUBERT. Do you know anything about the Weissman ad in this sense did you have anything to do with placing it, or do you know who placed it?
Mr. SAUNDERS. None whatsoever.
Mr. HUBERT. You know nothing about how it got into the paper or who placed it?
Mr. SAUNDERS. No, I do not.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you know when he left?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Jack Ruby?
Mr. HUBERT. When Jack Ruby left that day, when he left the offices?
Mr. SAUNDERS. No, to ascertain a time, I would not try and hazard a guess, because his appearance there at the paper was a very commonplace thing, and to pay any particular attention as to when he comes and goes, we didn't.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you have any independent recollection of having seen him after the first time you saw him when you first came in?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Yes, I'd say I saw him in and about the office for approximately 30 minutes afterward.
Mr. HUBERT. You didn't particularly notice his departure because there was
no particular reason why you should?
Mr. HUBERT. But you do think he was there for 30 minutes after you first
arrived--and after you first saw him?
Mr. HUBERT. Did you see him talking to Mr. Newnam?
Mr. SAUNDERS. He was over in the area of Mr. Newnam's desk, where he was normally placing his ads--where he would normally be placing his ads--through Mr. Newnam. In my own recollection as to whether it was Mr. Newnam or another salesman taking care of him at the time, I can't recall.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you go to lunch with Mr. Newnam that day?
Mr. HUBERT. Can you tell us, if you know, whether Ruby was still there when the announcement that an officer had been shot, came over the news?
Mr. SAUNDERS. The announcement of an officer having been shot was made at approximately the same time as I entered, that there was conjecture at that time as to whether there was an officer--now, the officer you're speaking of being Tippit?
Mr. HUBERT. Yes.
Mr. SAUNDERS. No, I would say he was not there at that time. There was conjecture that there might have been a Secret Service agent shot along with Kennedy at that time.
Mr. HUBERT. That was when you first came in?
Mr. SAUNDERS. That was when I first came in--yes.
Mr. HUBERT. But the Tippit matter was considerably later, wasn't it?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Right--it was considerably later, and to my knowledge Jack Ruby had departed at that time. Now, he might have been in another area of the building, I don't know.
Mr. HUBERT. What makes you believe he had departed?
Mr. SAUNDERS. I don't recall having seen him, As I say, I can remember him being around for approximately 30 minutes and it was considerably longer than that before the report on the Tippit shooting came through.
731-231 O--54-Vol. XV--38
Mr. HUBERT. Is it a fact, of course, that the report on the President's death
came after the report of the shooting of Tippit?
Mr. HUBERT. So you would think that Ruby was gone when the announcement of the President's death was made?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Right--to my knowledge.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, I noticed that in your statement which has been identified as Exhibit No. 1, you have made some remarks concerning your knowledge of Jack Ruby and his striving for recognition and his desire to do the right things and his respect for authority, and so forth. Can you give us some examples that would illustrate these characteristics?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Well, Jack was always hovering around people in the newspaper business for some reason.
If myself or another salesman showed up at one of his clubs, it was almost the red-carpet treatment, which as advertising salesmen, we have no way to help him. We felt it was possibly a case of just wanting to be around newspaper people.
I know for a fact that Ruby quite often talked of knowing this police officer or that official in a bragging type manner.
Mr. HUBERT. Sort of a name-dropping situation?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Sort of a name-dropping situation.
Mr. HUBERT. And that was consistent, and for a long time?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Right--as long as I knew him, and at any time that he could be around anyone that had a name, regardless of what position, whether it be in the entertainment business, whether it be a columnist, or whether it be a city official.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you see a specific example of that? If you could give us some specific examples, it would be helpful.
Mr. SAUNDERS. Oh, just quoting a specific example, with names---it's been so long ago that I would hate to hazard a guess. It would just be a guess on my part.
Mr. HUBERT. What about his desire to do the right thing, which you recognize as a characteristic of this man, can you give me any examples of that?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Well, from the time I first knew him, he always wanted to, and in conversations with him about his business, which was normal in our contact, he would want to strive to make his club better than the next club, so to speak, and he would constantly point out areas where if there was any rowdiness or loud, drunkenness-type parties in his club, he would throw them out.
Mr. HUBERT. You have seen it happen?
Mr. SAUNDERS. I've seen it happen, and not 3 weeks before the assassination--a Mr. Donald Campbell and myself, another advertising salesman, had visited for the first time his club.
Mr. HUBERT. The Carousel Club?
Mr. SAUNDERS. His Club Carousel, and at the time we were there, again it was very much the red-carpet treatment, wanting to know our opinions on his acts, and apologizing if the emcee had corny jokes, but he was working hard, and he had nothing but good things to say about most people, and the evening we were there there was a customer who had gotten a little out of hand, certainly nothing that you won't see in any nightclub, and right away Jack Ruby took offense at it and told the person to leave and threw him out.
Mr. HUBERT. Did he use force to do so?
Mr. SAUNDERS. No; he just went over and very pointedly told the man "This is not allowed in this club. Will you get up and leave right now--out. We don't want you around".
Mr. HUBERT. And the man left?
Mr. SAUNDERS. And the man left. As far as seeing him use force, I have never seen him use force. I have heard that he did on occasion use force, however, it was suprising to me because I never thought of Jack Ruby as being one who could physically or being physically capable of using force. However, I was evidently mistaken on that point.
Mr. HUBERT. You also mentioned as a characteristic of him that he seemed to have respect for authority?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Well, in the word "authority" is taken possibly out of context. I should say--well, it's almost the name dropping--anyone with any degree of notoriety.
Mr. HUBERT. And that would include of course people who had actual authority?
Mr. HUBERT. Did he ever say anything concerning any underworld associations he might have had?
Mr. HUBERT. Did he express any opinion with regard to them?
Mr. HUBERT. There was no name dropping there?
Mr. HUBERT. Or in that area?
Mr. HUBERT. Did he ever express to you any sensitivity or consciousness about his Jewish background or the position of the Jew in society?
Mr. SAUNDERS. No; not that I recall Many people that I call on are Jewish, in my particular phase of business, and this area is very commonplace with me and never taken offense at or was there any reason to bring it up.
Mr. HUBERT. Did he ever express any sensitivity in that area, or did you observe any?
Mr. HUBERT. Now, by way of closing this interview, I will ask you first of all if you have anything else you want to say?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Not that I can recall. I feel the statement pretty well covers any pertinent facts that I might be aware of.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, there has been a very slight bit of conversation between us prior to the time this interview began, but I want to ask you whether in that slight conversation there was anything covered or mentioned that has not been recorded during the course of the interview?
Mr. SAUNDERS. Thank you. I appreciate your time.
Mr. HUBERT. That's all right, and I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.
Mr. SAUNDERS. That's all right. Thank you again.
Mr. HUBERT. All right. Thank you.

Welsh Tales – An Historical Anthology by Neil L Thomas
ISBN: ISBN 978-0-9878282-3-0
Trim size: 148 x 210 mm
"Welsh Tales, An Historical Anthology" brings a fresh look at the country and its people, a two thousand year history given life by ninety carefully chosen traditional folk tales and legends, generously supplemented by historical and illustrated material.
The earliest tale dates from the first millennium BC. King Lludd's three commandments exhort his people not to slander their neighbours, not to betray their fellows for short-term gain, not to steal.
The next tale brings Merlin into being and explains why the red griffin is the Welsh emblem. Historical Cymry-Romano accounts from the fifth and sixth centuries AD provide a perspective of King Arthur's time, the battles he fought and won, his considerable importance in Welsh history.
Tales, both short and somewhat longer, tell of the Fair Family, fairies, faeries, pwcas, sprites, goblins and witches. Many tales continue to describe or imply standards of good moral behaviour. Christian themes occur in a number of stories. The most recent is a ghost tale concerning workmen who built the railways early in the nineteenth century."
From the Author:-
My fifth generation Australian grand-daughters and grandson asked me, "Why are you interested in Welsh stuff, Grandpa?" I replied, "I was born and went to school in Wales, now I live here."
"WELSH TALES" An Historical Anthology recounts two thousand years of traditional Welsh Tales, historical information, King Arthur's real achievements, all stories told around the fireside on a winter's evening before the children went to bed.
They tell of our heritage and forebears' lives, their hopes and
aspirations, how they lived before Britain's Industrial Revolution began in the eighteenth century.

The Association of Proposal Management Professionals (APMP) is the professional association for people working in any sales environment where formal bidding and tendering takes place. APMP certification is the global standard for developing and demonstrating proposal management competency.
The APMP accredits its members at three levels of increasing competence; Foundation, Practitioner and Professional. Once certified, recent salary surveys have shown that these members earn an average of 15% more than their peers.
Even more attractive is that organisations with accredited professionals get an increase in bid win rate and a lower cost of sales. In addition, the entire business will benefit from consistency in approach and awareness of global best practice.
To start you down this road, we will guide you through the Foundation level syllabus and the examination itself, maximising your chances of passing first time. You can take the accreditation examination on the same day as the training, whilst all the training information is fresh in your mind.
The next stage is a half-day workshop for Foundation level accredited members who would like to proceed to Practitioner level and complete the Proposal Practitioner Assessment Questionnaire (PPAQ).
Unlike Foundation Level, there is not an exam for APMP's Practitioner Level Certification. Instead you must complete a 35 question Proposal Practitioner Assessment Questionnaire (PPAQ). This is designed to provide objective evidence from your professional experience record to substantiate your Practitioner level application to an evaluator. A certified assessor will evaluate your PPAQ against the Practitioner Standards and Guidelines then perform a random check of evidence with your reference.
This half day workshop is followed by an optional half day to coach you through the completion of more questions and then remote support as you near the questionnaire completion.
Suitable for: Sales professionals who wish to enhance their ability to succeed at winning formal bids and tenders, including public sector bids.
Duration: One full day – typically 09:00 to 17:00 or 09:30 to 17:30 depending upon the venue.
Both packages include Sixfold's "secret weapon" to help answering the examination questions.
Suitable for: Sales professionals who wish to lead others to succeed at winning formal bids and tenders, including public sector bids.
Duration: One half day – typically 09:00 to 12:00 or 09:30 to 12:30 depending upon the venue.
Prerequisites: Note, APMP membership is required for all APMP item fee levels within these packages (higher charges are applied by the APMP for non-members). Click here for APMP membership registration information.


No-one could debate Luke Solomon's dance music credentials. From setting up the seminal label Classic Recordings with Derrick Carter to taking quirky house to the UK Top 10 and international charts, with his band Freaks, to DJing around the globe and performing live, Luke has been there for many of the more interesting 4/4 moments of the last decade.
After kicking off his DJ career at Middlesex University in the early 90's, it wasn't long before Luke was moving in the upper reaches of house music. A gig with Derrick Carter led the two to become friends, after which Classic Recordings was born. For 9 years, the label introduced the world to the likes of DJ Sneak, Tiefschwarz, Isolee and Freeform 5 and garnered a cult following until distribution difficulties led to the last single issuing forth in 2006.
Running alongside this was the birth and growth of Freaks, the production team Luke started with Justin Harris in 1996. Under the Freaks moniker, Luke & Justin have turned out a slew of singles and longplayers on their own Music For Freaks imprint to include the albums, The Beat Diaries, Meanwhile Back At The Disco and The Man Who Lived Underground. These albums spawned some of Freaks seminal singles such as Turning Orange, Where Were You When The Lights Went Out and of course their huge underground hit, The Creeps. They have also found themselves remixing the likes of Alison Limerick, Pulp, Damon Alban, Kasabian, The Streets & Duran Duran.
After a bidding war between the majors for The Creeps, Ministry Of Sound snapped up the 4 year old track and released it into the mainstream with a new quirky vocal from Freaks singer Stella Attar. But as the dance puritans sharpened their claws, what does Luke have to say on achieving a No 9 UK chart hit and potentially being accused of "selling out" ?
However, besides having chart success throughout the world and running a successful label, Luke really feels like his own career is just beginning. As a solo artist he has had releases on a variety of labels to include the very respected Crosstown Rebels. His 1st artist album "The Difference Engine" was released in 2008 on Radio Slave's much applauded Rekids label. A sprawling trip of an album, the 13 tracks span all manners of genre and moods with the dancefloor energy offset by an experimental ambience not normally associated with house. While Solomon productions of old were filled with an off kilter sense of fun, there is a serious side to "The Difference Engine" that belies the cheerful confidance of the man behind it. The personal feel of the album is further fuelled by the lyrical content and one of the standout moments is "The Darkest Secret", a track featuring Earl Gateshead of Trojan Soundsystem and reminiscent of John Cooper Clark, the 70's punk poet. For Luke, Earl was an obvious choice to work with as he filled the role of the poet perfectly, so they ended up writing the song together in an ice cream shop in Chalk Farm !
The Difference Engine received high praise amongst the UK's music journalists and saw The Guardian featuring the album in it's revered review section.
This album led Luke to team up with Damian Lazarus on his own artist album and Luke co-wrote and co-produced a selection of tracks for the longplayer, working alongside the highly talented Arthur Jeffes, son of Simon Jeffes from the hugely influential, The Penguin Café Orchestra. The album entitled, "Smoke The Monster Out" has since been released worldwide via Get Physical Records, based in Berlin, and as Dazed and Confused noted "It is a truly inventive, deviant and uncompromising" piece of work.
But what does the future hold for Mr Solomon. Well besides continuing to travel around the world to DJ (playing the likes of Panama Bar, Berlin, Fabric, London, Moxa Club, Italy, Zukunft, Switzerland, D-Edge, Brazil) releasing new material from Freaks on Rebirth Records, creating a new club moniker, Lukatron which will see it's first release on Quintessential and continuing to remix under Luke Solomon and Freaks guises, Luke has also just finished recording his 2nd artist album " Timelines" which features the likes of Jon Marsh from The Beloved, Tiger,Tiger & Natalie Broomes on vocals.
So whether it's a second coming or not, one things for sure, Luke's credentials are most certainly not to be argued with.
Drawing from his vibrant youth, which included being a trumpet player in marching band, a drummer in a nu wave cover band and a guest DJ, Friday nights on WNUR (Chicago), Mark found his passion for the luscious world of vinyl, turntables and nightclubs. At 16, Farina began his DJ career as a resident at Chicago's underage mecca, Medusa's. At the same time Mark joined forces with emerging DJs Derrick Carter and Chris Nazuka then moved into a loft space called Rednail. Rednail became infamous not only for raucous parties but also as the home to the trio's first productions under the moniker, Symbols & Instruments. Their release,"MOOD," sold 35,000 copies in the US & UK and is credited as "the first ambient house track."
Farina relocated to San Francisco in 1992. Fans embraced Mark's downtempo style and he started co-hosting a weekly Mushroom Jazz club night in '93. In 3 short years, Farina established a fanatical, cult-like following for his Mushroom Jazz sound and in 1996, OM Records released the first mixed comp CD, simply titled, Mushroom Jazz. Since then, Mark has released 7 volumes of Mushroom Jazz with 2013 marking the 20th anniversary of the series. Other notable releases include OM's Seasons, San Francisco Sessions Vol. 1, Connect, House of Om, Live in Tokyo, and Fabric 40.
When Mark's not touring the world, headlining festivals including Harbourlife (Sydney), Southport Weekender (UK), DEMF (Detroit), Coachella (CA) and T in the Park (Scotland), you're likely to find him in his studio working on new releases or podcasts for his label, Great Lakes Audio. On days off he'll be cruising his '68 Toronado with his son, Dylan (aka "little peanut"), and his Yorkie, "Pumpkin".
It was during the Bay Area rave golden era in the mid 90's that Mike became engrained into dance music culture. At the turn of the millennium is when Mike started collecting vinyl focusing on the deep house genre that he followed very closely since the 90's. He also collected other genres of dance music that ranged from techno to the many flavors of down tempo. With his collector first attitude it allowed him to quickly build a record collection classified by tempo that contained unique dance records that defined his style. Mike's versatile sets contain mixes that contrast musical genres so they appeal to discerning eclectic crowds as well as create the right mood for every setting.
By 2006 Mike turned his attention to throwing parties in San Francisco that included Houze This, BUMP-N-IT and Assemblage. Those parties featured Claude Von Stroke, Demarkus Lewis, Justin Martin, Lawnchair Generals, JT Donaldson and more. During that time Mike also showcased his genre spanning sets at various clubs in San Francisco as well as held residency for Funky Tekno Tribe. The recognition Mike received as a deep house dj also had him playing parties alongside with dj Sneak, Mark Farina, Jay West, and more.
Most recently Mike has played parties like Apex, Mushroom Jazz, Sewdown, Housepitality and Flammable while still focusing on cutting edge dance music that peak the interest of the most finicky dance music enthusiast.

Hadi Fakhoury – Henry Corbin's Hermeneutics of Scripture
Philosophy and the Abrahamic Religions: Scriptural Hermeneutics and Epistemology
Chapter 22 : Hadi Fakhoury - Henry Corbin's Hermeneutics of Scripture
Editor: Torrance Kirby, Rahim Acar and Bilal Baş
Date Of Publication: Jan 2013
From Greco-Roman Antiquity through to the European Enlightenment, philosophy and religious thought were inseparably interwoven. This was equally the case for the popular natural or 'pagan' religions of the ancient world as it was for the three pre-eminent 'religions of the book', namely Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The lengthy and involved encounter of the Greek philosophical tradition – and especially of the Platonic, Aristotelian, and Neoplatonic strands of that tradition – initially with the Hellenistic cults and subsequently with the three Abrahamic religions, played a critical role in shaping the basic contours of Western intellectual history from Plato to Philo of Alexandria, Plotinus, Porphyry, Augustine, and Proclus; from Aristotle to al-Fārābī, Avicenna, al-Ġazālī, Aquinas and the medieval scholastics, and eventually to Meister Eckhart and Nicholas Cusanus and such modern philosophers and theologians as Richard Hooker, the Cambridge Platonists, Jacob Boehme, and G. W. F. Hegel to name but a few. The aim of the twenty-four essays comprising this volume is to explore the intellectual worlds of the three Abrahamic religious traditions, their respective approaches to scriptural hermeneutics, and their interaction over many centuries on the common ground of the inheritance of classical Greek philosophy. The shared goal of the contributors is to demonstrate the extent to which the three Abrahamic religions have created similar shared patterns of thought in dealing with crucial religious concepts such as the divine, creation, providence, laws both natural and revealed, such problems as the origin of evil and the possibility of salvation, as well as defining hermeneutics, that is to say the manner of interpreting their sacred writings.

So much of what we do in HR and talent management has changed beyond all recognition over the last ten years. But not reward.
I'm keen to do my bit in helping us move our reward agenda forward too and am delighted that I'll be presenting my thoughts on this, and especially on how it is being shaped through technology and analytics, at REBA's Innovation Day on 22 November 2018.
I look forward to speaking and maybe seeing you at the event.


There are 11 top-rated dry cleaners in your area and 47 to avoid.
Business Description: Superior Remodelers & Builder Company, Inc. has been a family owned and operated full service remodeling and insurance restoration contractor since 1945 that has specialized in the repair of fire damage, smoke damage, water damage, storm damage, ice backup damage, and all other forms of damage repairs related to insurance claims. We are capable of handling all aspects of the process from securing the property, if needed, estimating damages, claim settlement and performing any and all forms of repairs needed. This includes custom wood mill work and detailed plaster cornice restoration. We also do remodeling and all forms of home restoration. We use EPA approved lead safe work practices.
Premier Dry Cleaning does a good job with men's clothing and men's shirts. I don't mind paying for good quality work and service. Premier is not cheap. I'm OK with the price when the service is good. The problem is that women's clothing is not their forte or they are inconsistent with women's clothing. They put creases in places where they never existed or shouldn't be. For example, they will press a blazer and change the way the collar lays. I think they do not understand how women's clothes are made. My husband's shirt collars are neatly pressed. They do know men's clothing and do a good job with it.
The second issue is that they sometimes put damp items in the dryer for a few minutes. The management claims they do not do this, but some employees have admitted it. The problem is that a hot dryer is h****** fabric and causes clothing to shrink. My husband and I can each take a pair of pants there to be cleaned. His fit him the same way when we pick them up. Mine will be snug and have shrunk a little. I have not gained weight. In fact, I have lost weight in the past year.
"twist ties." They tie multiple pieces of clothing together so tightly that the wire hangers on which the clothing is hung puts new creases or wrinkles in the clothes. I have to touch up some items or bother to take them back. Recently, they used too hot of an iron on a pair of pants. There is a pocket on the pant leg similar to that of a pair of cargo pants with a button on the outside. These pants are dressier than cargo pants. Since the iron was too hot, there is a permanent mark on the opposite side of the pants leg that matches the sillouette of the pocket and the button. The pants are made from mostly polyester. I tried washing the pants and the mark remains. These were expensive pants that do no have not visible wear and they fit me well. I can no longer wear them to work.
To be fair, they dry clean my wool pants and coats well.
I checked that I would use premier again because they do a great job on men's clothing. As a women who works in an office, most of my professional clothing has gone to Premier for years. Not any more. I'm tired of the inconsistency. However, I now take only clothing there that must be dry cleaned.
We first met the owner, George when our insurance company called him the day after a fire in our home. George was so friendly and helpful. The insurance company had us pick out about 2 weeks worth of clothing to have cleaned quickly (at the time they estimated 2 weeks would be all we would be out of our house.) When George got there he asked us of that 2 weeks worth of clothing what we would need back that day. We picked out our clothing, and he said the rest of the two weeks worth would be back to us the following Tuesday (it was Memorial Day weekend) He even took our dogs beds to clean, they would be back on Tuesday as well. He took all that back to his shop, another person from his company came back to get all the other items from the house (linens, bedding, drappery, etc) they packed it up by room and location, so when it was time to come back it would be put in the correct spot. That evening George brought all 2 weeks worth of clothing and the dog beds back to us perfectly cleaned, pressed and on hangers and no longer smelling of smoke to the house we were staying in! He said the girls who were off that day came in to get all our clothing done, and they didn't forget the dogs, they wanted them to be comfortable too, seeing they were in unfamiliar surroundings. I was so touched they would come in on their day off and that they thought enough to make sure our dogs weren't stressed anymore than they were, seeing the dogs were in the house during the fire. It's been a month, and we are still not in our house, George is still storing our clothing, bedding linens, drapery, etc. until the house is ready. He has even offered to bring the clothing to us to get some additional items since we only had 2 weeks worth. The company is in Akron and we live in Mentor! I cannot stress how refreshing it is to work with his company is throughout this process. I would HIGHLY recomment this company!
It went very well- very professional and turn around time is very good. However, they need to let their customers know that they do not take credit or debit cards. Cash or check only. There are no signs posted about this- I only found out when I gave them my credit card. Frotunately I had my checkbook!
We have been using this dry cleaner for a couple of years, and have not had any problems. I first started going to this particular cleaner because they offered a monthly coupon in the Entertainment Book. The service is very good-everyone is very friendly! I appreciate that they always include my young children in the conversation. My cleaning is usually ready within a couple of days after I drop it off.
I was in the process of comparison shopping and had tried this cleaner before for its one price for any garment but had thought that the quality might have been slightly less than other dry cleaners. After sampling some other cleaners, I came back to try again. The attendant was friendly and marked all of the stains as I pointed with them out. The clothes were scheduled back in three days, and I paid when I dropped off the clothes. The quality of the cleaning appeared equivalent to other services. The hangers are basic, and the pressing might not be as crisp as other cleaners. Overall, I was satisfied with the experience. It's nice to know what it will cost prior to picking up the garments.
I was evaluating different dry cleaning companies and doing some comparison shopping. I went to the store with a coupon I had obtained online from their website and dropped off 12 garments and was told I could pick them up in three days. The girl took the coupon and I received my claim check. When I picked up the clothes I had to ask for my receipt to understand the charges and upon later inspection realized there was only given credit for a lesser coupon that I had submitted ($5 off 6 garments vs 20% total) for a difference of $7. The attendants were 'business only,' not friendly or approachable. The garments were extremely clean, with all stains removed, and hung on quality plastic hangers with nice reusable latches for hanging skirts. Quality was good, price was questionable, service leaves a lot to be desired.
It was very convenient. I believe they have certain pick-up/drop off days, depending on your particular neighborhood. I called a few days before to schedule the pick-up and left the clothes that needed cleaned hanging on my door in the bag that they provided for me. On the next scheduled day for my neighborhood, they returned the clothes. The area rug took a few days longer to return. This was my first time to use this company, and I was able to take advantage of a discount offer as a first time customer.
Start to finish the company is just outstanding. I can not say enough good things about them. They were kind, caring, compassionate and trustworthy.


The judge in Stockton's bankruptcy case has given final approval for the city to implement its restructuring plan.
The lone creditor who had asked for a delay was denied.
The City of Stockton owed Franklin Templeton Investments $35 million, but under the plan, Franklin will only receive just over $4 million.
The company is appealing the recovery plan and asked for a delay.
But Judge Christopher Klein ruled more delays would only hurt the city and ordered the city's plan to move forward while Franklin pursues the appeal.
Stockton Mayor Anthony Silva says after two years of bankruptcy, the city can start to restructure.
"The City of Stockton should be able to emerge from bankruptcy and really ride the wave of economic success that we are starting to see signs of in the national economy," says Silva.
Silva says the city will begin hiring more police officers and firefighters as it emerges from bankruptcy.

2018 Winter Olympics Preview
By Sidney Hines, Features Editor
The 2018 Winter Olympics are set to begin on Friday, Feb. 9, 2018 in Pyeongchang, South Korea. The Winter Olympics showcase the best of the best from around the world competing in various sports, all of which take place either on snow or on ice, with 92 nations set to compete.
The Winter Olympics include the following events: alpine skiing, biathlon, bobsledding, cross-country skiing, curling, figure skating, freestyle skiing, ice hockey, luge, Nordic combined, short track speed skiing, skeleton, ski jumping, snowboarding, and speed skating.
Junior Austin Kessem is an avid NHL viewer and is excited to see the USA hockey team compete, even though NHL players are not allowed to compete in the Winter Olympics for the first time ever. All hockey competitors must be free of an NHL team to play in the Olympics.
"I'm really looking forward to seeing how the USA team competes, considering that this is the first year the that the NHL isn't allowing its players to compete in the Winter Olympics," Kessem said. "I think it will be interesting for all teams to see how different match-ups work and get a feel for what the future of hockey looks like, not only in the U.S., but around the world."
Sophomore Ethan Carey is eager to see all the teams compete, but is confident the USA team will come out on top as we typically dominate most sports during Olympics.
"I'm looking forward to seeing more athletes do amazing things during the Olympics that I would otherwise think are impossible," he said. "As always, I think the USA team will be one of the elites and outperform everyone else."
Many fans of all types of winter sports will be tuning in to watch the 2018 Olympics and are positive that the USA team will showcase their talents in each event.
"The Olympics are always fun to watch," junior Nic Belpedio said. "Some of the best hockey players in the world compete for the gold, and I think the USA will do well and hopefully be able to secure first place."

Westlake District standoff: Armed woman taken into custody
The woman was taken into custody at around 5:30 a.m. after what sounded like flash-bang grenades were deployed at the scene. Investigators say she was shot in the leg by officers. She was reported to be in stable condition and is expected to be OK.
Authorities say it all started when a man reported a break-in at his apartment. He told officials that he was woken up at about 10:45 p.m. Thursday by a woman at the foot of his bed. He fled his home, while she remained inside.
Investigators say the woman found a gun on a nightstand inside the apartment. When police arrived on scene, she told them she was armed. At that point, officers backed off, secured the location and started communicating with her.
When the suspect refused to surrender, the SWAT team was called in. While SWAT officers were en route, police on scene said one shot was fired inside the apartment. Investigators say they do not believe she fired at officers.
At about 5:30 a.m., the standoff came to an end. The suspect was seen taken out of the building on a stretcher with handcuffs.
All 40-plus units in the apartment building were forced to evacuate during the standoff - many with young children. Some watched the chaos unfold from the sidewalk. To accommodate all the evacuees, LAPD called in city buses. Many residents ended up spending the night in the buses.
A tenant, who did not want to be identified, said he had a run-in with the suspect. He said the suspect walked into his apartment at about 10:30 p.m. Thursday. When he asked, "Can we help you?" the suspect answered, "No" and closed the door.
The tenant said he watched the suspect try to open several other doors on his floor.
The relationship between the suspect and the victim remains unclear, but the victim said he does not know her.
James M Wood Boulevard was closed between Alvarado Street and Union Avenue for the investigation.

GC 32 Racing Key West Race Week 2015
Posted in TFW's news, video on January 27, 2015 by Foiling Week.
Video credits: Nick Bowers / Kettle Cinema www.kettlecinema.com
Quantum Key West Race Week provided the opportunity for the GC32s to make a spectacular debut in the USA.
During the five days of racing held in balmy temperatures off the southernmost tip of Florida, crews experienced a range of conditions. The beginning of the week saw lighter winds in which the foiling catamarans could sail at almost twice wind speed and the 20 knots on the final day enabled them to foil not only downwind, but upwind too.
Four GC32s took part: Flavio Marazzi's ARMIN STROM Sailing Team and Erik Maris' ZouLou made the trip from Europe to line up against two US teams – two time Melges 32 World Champion Jason Carroll on ARGO and fellow Melges 32 sailor Alex Jackson racing Leenabarca.
ARGO set the pace at the regatta. Despite Quantum Key West Race Week being its first competitive GC32 outing, Carroll's team benefitted from training time in Key West prior to the start and familiarity with the race course and seemed to relish the light to moderate winds early on. ARGO led up until the penultimate day, but was not dominant, with all but Leenabarca claiming bullets in races along the way.
By Thursday the ARMIN STROM Sailing Team and ZouLou crews were getting into their stride, and two races in stronger winds left the top three boats impressively tied, but with ZouLou ahead on countback, going into the final day.
Former Olympic Star sailor Flavio Marazzi's team won the first race on the last day, the Swiss crew demonstrating their experience in the brisk conditions. They led around the top mark and then extended away.
Sadly while lying in second, one point off the lead, ARGO was forced to retire after this race when one of the fittings broke holding her transom-hung rudder to her hull – a race course littered with lobster pots providing an additional hazard for the crews.
"We thought about whether or not we could repair it or lash it in place, but given how rough it was out there it was going to be a recipe for further damage if we continued to race," explained Jason Carroll.
With ZouLou claiming the final race, a second was enough for ARMIN STROM Sailing Team to win the GC32's inaugural prize at Quantum Key West Race Week.
While the GC32 can easily handle 20 knot winds, Friday's short sharp chop meant crews had to throttle back. Marazzi explained: "The problem was that if you went too fast on the downwind, you jumped out of the waves and that was a risk. Since we just had to finish the race, it was a balance between holding back and going fast enough to win the regatta."
Despite three crews making their GC32 race debuts at Key West, Marazzi was pleased with the high level of racing and there being no stand-out crews. "It was great that everyone was on the same points going into the final day and that it doesn't come down to the boats or materials or different sails, but boat handling and team work."
Despite his disappointment, Jason Carroll enjoyed his week: "It was awesome – I had a great time. Clearly this was the boat to be on at this event."
ZouLou skipper Erik Maris has previous experience on Extreme 40 and D35 catamarans, but had only spent one week training in October aboard the GC32 prior to Key West. America's Cup multihull sailor Thierry Fouchier, the jib and the genniker trimmer on board and who has sailed most top racing multihulls, commented: "I am pretty impressed with the boat and all the systems work pretty nicely. It is still early days for the class, but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't attract more and more owners and get some very good racing. The boats are easy to sail and you can learn foiling fast. And they are pretty safe which is good."
Former Team New Zealand helmsman Cameron Appleton was calling tactics on Alex Jackson's Leenabarca, which suffered some technical set-backs. "I've never come last in a regatta before and had so much fun! Alex walked away with a huge smile on his face. These boats have made multihull foiling accessible to less experienced guys. You can get into them and steer them well, then it is about refining your skills. The learning curve is huge, but it is not on a level you can never achieve."
During the latter part of the week Appleton said they had been hitting speeds into the high 20s, but it was the GC32's handling that was impressive: "Once you get up on the foils and you are used to the sensation, the boats are actually a lot more comfortable than you'd think. We were doing stuff that you couldn't do on other multihulls – bearing away and so forth – you would have flipped over. After racing we power reached at an angle that you would never usually consider on a multihull, but the sense of power and control was right there."
Flavio Marazzi is also President of the GC32 Class Association and says that he hopes GC32 racing in Florida will become a regular feature over future northern hemisphere winters.
In the meantime the GC32s are gearing up for the start of the Europe circuit, the GC32 Racing Tour, kicking off with the GC32 Austria Cup, to be held on Lake Traunsee, Austria over 27th-31st May. The participation of more teams will be announced over the next few weeks.

Q: How to make combination pattern like this screenshoot here
i need help how to combination 4 field be as in a picture using javascript
Examples
Field1 : [1,2]
Field2 : [3,4]
Field3 : [5,6]
Field4 : [7,8]

Result Output :
1357 * 1358 * 1367 * 1368 * 1457 * 1458 * 1467 * 1468 * 2357 * 2358 * 2367 * 2368 * 2457 * 2458 * 2467 * 2468

A: You can do this recusively.
Imagine your input as a list of lists, e.g. [[1,2],[3,4],[5,6],[7,8]].
The first step is to remove the first array from the array so you end up with two arrays that look like this:
[1,2]
[[3,4],[5,6],[7,8]]

Then run the function again, but on the left overs, (in this case [[3,4],[5,6],[7,8]]).
Keep doing this until there are no left overs. At that point return the array that has been extracted, but modified to be an array of arrays, where each array has one of the numbers, in this case it would look like [[7],[8]]
Then as you go back up the call stack, iterate over the values in the array you extracted before recursion, and add them to copies of the arrays that were returned in the last call, so when you return from the [7,8] call, the next return will look like
[ [5,7], [5,8], [6,7], 6,8] ]

And so on and so forth until you reach
[ [1,3,5,7],
  [1,3,5,8],
  [1,3,6,7],
  [1,3,6,8],
  [1,4,5,7],
  [1,4,5,8],
  [1,4,6,7],
  [1,4,6,8],
  [2,3,5,7],
  [2,3,5,8],
  [2,3,6,7],
  [2,3,6,8],
  [2,4,5,7],
  [2,4,5,8],
  [2,4,6,7],
  [2,4,6,8] ]

And then you can use map and join to generate the string.

The difference between a recital and an order
John Bolch on relentless litigation in family law
Family Law|November 17th 2014
I have commented here on a number of occasions about the endless litigation that some divorcing or separating couples seem intent upon pursuing, oblivious to the costs or the effects upon themselves or their children – see, for example, this post from August or this post from last month.
A judgment containing a particularly futile example of endless litigation was published last week. Lindner v Rawlins concerned a couple who were involved in contested divorce proceedings, having also been involved in contested proceedings regarding the arrangements for their two children.
I don't need to go into all of the details, but briefly, the husband had issued a divorce petition, alleging unreasonable behaviour by the wife. The wife defended the petition and filed her own petition alleging that the husband had behaved unreasonably.
In the proceedings relating to the children the judge made findings of violence against the husband, which supported the wife's divorce petition. The husband made a complaint to the Office of Judicial Complaints, alleging bias on behalf of the judge and also applying for permission to appeal against the judge's findings. Both his bias complaint and his permission application were dismissed.
The husband then sought an order for disclosure against various third parties, seeking evidence from them that he believed would assist him in proving the allegations of unreasonable behaviour contained in his divorce petition. The judge refused to order the third parties to make disclosure.
The husband then applied for permission to appeal against the judge's refusal, and that is what the judgment here related to. In the Court of Appeal Lady Justice King granted the husband permission to appeal in relation to the refusal to order disclosure against one of the third parties, but not the refusal to order disclosure against the other third parties. However, it is to the last paragraph of Lady Justice King's judgment that I want to draw attention. She said:
"Having dealt with the matter before me … I would simply say what no doubt other judges have said to this couple on innumerable occasions. This marriage is over and there will be a divorce. Precious family resources are being spent on this contested divorce and one can only guess at the effect on the children of the relentless litigation between their parents. One can only hope that even now they may reach some sort of compromise which allows the divorce to proceed without an appeal and then a subsequent trial."
Whilst the husband may consider that this particular application was at least a partial success, what has it really achieved? The simple fact of the matter is that this marriage has quite obviously long since broken down irretrievably, and arguing over the reasons for the breakdown or trying to attribute blame for it is going to achieve precisely nothing. Quite clearly, the best thing for all involved is for the divorce to be concluded as quickly and as amicably as possible, and for the parties to move on.
Of course, if we had a system whereby you didn't have to attribute fault for the breakdown of the marriage, then the parties would not have the opportunity to embark upon fruitless blame exercises. However, it seems that we are as far away from no-fault divorce in this country as ever.
It is, of course, perfectly understandable that feelings may run high when a relationship breaks down, and the desire for 'revenge' is only natural. However, that temptation must be resisted (allowing a little time for the dust to settle after a breakdown may be helpful), as the consequences can be devastating for all concerned, especially the children.
Author: John Bolch
John Bolch often wonders how he ever became a family lawyer. He no longer practises, but has instead earned a reputation as one of the UK's best-known family law bloggers.
Shades of Grenfell -v- Grenfell in the early Seventies. Writing here from memory. Husband's five-year petition. Wife resists because it would cause grave financial or other hardship – but then cross-petitions!
She claimed that it was grave other hardship to be divorced except for cause but the court found that five-year divorce was part of the law and she would have to live with it. She also complained that if the husband remarried and had further children they would share in his father's or mother's, I forget which, will trusts which, in those days, were confined to "legitimate" issue. The court found that since the possibility of him remarrying was implicit in her cross-petitioning that line of argument also failed.
All absurd. Divorce should be administrative. And now that we have pension sharing there should be no defence of "grave financial hardship" – and as for "grave other hardship" that is and always was nonsense. If you believe that marriage is for life and don't want to re-marry in your ex's lifetime – don't.
Stitchedup says:
What seems to have gone over peoples heads here is that "in the proceedings relating to the children the judge made findings of violence against the husband, which supported the wife's divorce petition".
Put yourself in the position of the husband, if the "findings" which are often called "facts" were based on lies and gross exaggerations, the husband will, understandably, be livid and will most likely do what ever it takes to clear his name. Any allegations of violence, particularly when related to children, should have to meet the criminal burden of proof simply because the stigma of being labelled a violent abuser is so great. Reputations and indeed careers can be destroyed. As I've said before, "fact finding" based on "the balance of probability" is an oxymoron.
Nordic says:
All this demonstrates is that English family "law" completely fails to protect the parties and their children against such terrible outcomes. While judges, lawyers and family law bloggers shake their heads in pretend despair, it is their litigious and confrontative system which enables and stimulates such disasters. As you said yourself, John, emotions often run high during divorces. With that recognition in mind, surely we can agree that the system should be designed to limit litigation and confrontation, not least to protect the children. Instead, our system stokes the fire at every opportunity while racking in the fees and, when confronted with the predictable horrific outcomes, turns around and blames the parties for the (burn) wounds in a final insult.
John, rather than more of these hand-wringing blogs full of faux concern, why don't you instead write about how, for example, the Nordic family law systems operate. The contrast would be eye opening for many of your readers.
Very well said Nordic.
Yvie says:
I couldn't agree more with you Nordic. So many professionals within the family court system must be fully aware of the injustices done to children through conflict between the parents yet they do nothing to reduce it. In fact, as you quite rightly say, some would prefer to fan the flames.


Marouane Fellaini could be set to end his Manchester United nightmare, as the Old Trafford club are in talks with Napoli about a potential transfer, claim The Guardian. The 26-year old cost United £27.5m last summer, and Ed Woodward is set to cut their losses now, whilst he still has some value.
The fee that Manchester United are holding out for is thought to be around £15million, although Napoli want to take him on a temporary basis rather than a permanent one.
Fellaini's £100k-a-week wages could also prove to be another stumbling block, but if the midfielder wants to play regular football again, he may be tempted to take a wage-cut in order to further his career.
The same paper also claim that Shinji Kagawa could be on his way out sooner than we think, as Louis van Gaal continues to assess his squad whilst on tour. His old side Borussia Dortmund retain an interest in bringing the Japan international back, and the move could happen this summer.
Do you think £15million is a fair fee for Manchester United? Let us know your thoughts in the comment box below.
