Give Children An Allowance?
October 26, 2011 by staff
Give Children An Allowance?, The Government is hailing the arrival of the new ISA Junior on Tuesday, but the jury is still deliberating.
While encouraging families to save for the future instead of living in is never a good thing, the JISA not come anywhere close to replacing the Child Trust Fund.
It may have been ridiculous to the children of higher rate taxpayers £ 250 gifts, but was, perhaps, the only way to help tens of thousands of dollars to families to start saving.
Today many parents with young children struggling to survive day to day, let alone save money for the future.
Research across the country shows 95% of parents think it is important to save their children, but 47% of those who can not afford to invest regularly.
Andrew Hagger of moneynet.co.uk said: "We must return to the habit of saving, so I put even a small amount in a savings account on a weekly / monthly will give your child a head start when they reach 18 .
"It is unfortunate that the JISA not include a government incentive in the way the CBC once – could have a serious impact on the assimilation of these new accounts."
Parents and new accounts can not be opened CBC children are concerned with existing accounts will be left behind as a lack of competition in the market interest rates will lead to negligible.
The Treasury says there are no immediate plans to merge CTF and ISA Junior, but this has not been ruled out.
This will take you through all your options for saving the children so you can compare products and find one that suits you and your child.

Silverstone: Ferraris Rubens Barrichello clinched victory in the British Grand Prix here on Sunday in a race that had been plunged into chaos by a kilt-wearing protestor who ran onto the track in the face of cars speeding past at 200 kmph and tragedy in the death of a driver in a support race.
Colombian Juan Pablo Montoya, in a Williams was second, 5.4 seconds behind, with Finn Kimi Raikkonen, in a McLaren, third.
Michael Schumacher, in the second Ferrari, was fourth and retains his lead in the championship, with David Coulthard, in a McLaren, in fifth followed by Renaults Jarno Trulli, Toyotas Cristiano Da Matta and Jenson Button, who had started at the back of the field, in a BAR-Honda.
Ralf Schumacher, in a Williams, had started in fourth place but never recovered from the protest and finished ninth.
But Barrichellos stunning win, his first of the season and sixth of his career, will be overshadowed by the idiotic 11th lap protest which brought shame to the security operation here.
The man, dressed in kilt and sporran and with signs hanging around his neck, ran on to the track on the 11th lap at Chapel corner. He strolled down the track as the cars took evasive action, was wrestled to the ground by stewards and led away. An inquiry has been ordered.
In a tragic accident, a driver taking part in a support race died after a heavy crash. David Heynes, 56, from Oxfordshire, was competing in the Historic Sportscar Challenge when he crashed his Lotus into a tyre wall at the Becketts Corner.
He received treatment at the scene and at the circuit medical centre where he was pronounced dead.
In the main race, the safety car was called out for the second time and as most of the leading contenders took pit stops, Brazils Da Matta, who had stopped when the safety car had been summoned earlier, took his chance to lead a Grand Prix for the first time in his career. When he pitted again on the 30th lap, Raikkonen took the lead ahead of Barrichello with Williams in third.
The Finn then stopped for a second time allowing Barrichello to retake the lead on the 42nd lap to cap an incredible fightback by the Brazilian who had started on pole, lost the lead, sank to seventh place when the protestor arrived before battling back to the top spot.
The intervention of the fan was a heartbreaking sight for Trulli who had snatched the lead at the start while the unscheduled round of pit stops also saw Michael Schumacher and brother Ralf slip to the back of the pack.
Trulli had stormed into the lead, thanks to a blistering start which left Barrichello shell-shocked. Trulli, without a win in his previous 106 races, got in front of Barrichello as did Raikkonen who leapt from third to second.
Barrichello was third, with Ralf Schumacher, in a Williams, fourth and world champion Michael Schumacher in fifth in his Ferrari.
On the fifth lap, the safety car was out to clear debris off the track. The mess had been caused by parts of the bodywork on David Coulthards McLaren flying off. Coulthard, who had started from 12th place and made his way to ninth, then reemerged from the pits in 19th place after a long pit-stop to repair the damage.
However, as the safety car was summoned for the second time, Da Matta, who had pitted earlier took the lead as the majority of the other runners went into the pits. (AFP)

Great Advice For Getting The Most From Homeschool
It wasn't that long ago that homeschooling was unheard of in polite society. Everyone went to private or public school and other educational options, such as homeschooling, were not discussed. Homeschooling is now considered a legitimate schooling alternative, and resources such as this article will help you plan for your family's transition.
You should always allow your children a recess time when you are going through your school day. A lot of book-reading and studying won't excite them about learning. Give them the opportunity to rest a while and stretch their legs. It's good for everyone.
Never be afraid to expand beyond the textbook! Children learn from all reading material, from magazines and newspapers to comic books. Reading current events in magazines and articles is a great way to start a discussion. You'll also be teaching them analytic skills which will last a lifetime.
Organize field trips with neighboring families who are homeschooling their kids. This allows your kids to socialize while learning. You might also save money by getting group discounts at some places.
Do not forget to teach 'elective' subjects like art. Have your children draw pictures of the things they're learning about, or use fabric to paste together a textural representation. Let your children act, sing, dance and be creative. Immersion in a lesson is the key to absorbing the content, so the more active you get them while teaching them, the better the results in the end.
Designate housework to the kids or hire outside help. It's almost impossible for you to do it all. You have to clean the house, shop, keep the budget, do laundry, cook, meal plan, tend to the kids' needs–it goes on and on! Embrace help with open arms. Never feel bad about getting help.
Set up a homeschool budget. You can plan a budget for the year, if you know what materials you will require and what kinds of field trips are in your plans. This can be documented in a separate account for budgeting purposes. Expect to have a little wiggle room, as there will be unforeseen costs.
Develop a pro and con list regarding public schools and do the same about the homeschool option. This list will help you to prepare your lessons and avoid missing important topics. You will have essentially created a checklist of things to concentrate on and things to avoid. Store it in a secure spot and return to it often.
There are many unique advantages to homeschooling in comparison to overcrowded public schools. You can use standardized testing to assess where your children fall before you begin. If they are not meeting standards, you may need to get a tutor.
Your children will need a place to study that is free from distractions. Make sure the area is not around the toys that they like. Ideally, the school area would have built-in storage to keep your child's supplies. However, a box works fine if built-in storage is not available.
Allow your child to have breaks that allow them to exercise and get rid of some excess energy. This relaxes your child and helps them to focus on the task at hand, which is paying attention to their schoolwork. Breaks should be scheduled into the day just as lessons are, and kids should know when a break is approaching.
Teaching Methods
You should educate yourself on different ways to educate your kids. Teaching materials can be presented in different ways depending on the learning style of the child. Don't let certain teaching methods overwhelm you. Combine different teaching methods to create an approach that is adapted to your child's learning style.
Nature walks can also be a great learning experience. This sort of activity is educational on a number of levels. Ask younger kids to collect totally different types of leaves. They can practice identifying different types of various trees. With older children, you can assign research on different tree or flower species encountered on the walk. Allow them to bring a camera so they don't bother mother nature.
Now that you understand some basic steps for homeschooling, you can determine how to incorporate them into your own curriculum. Use the information you've been given to create a starting point. Great lessons are created from good information, expert advice and inspiration.

How To Grow The Peanut And 105 Ways Of Preparing It For Human Consumption
February 10, 2012 by staff
How To Grow The Peanut And 105 Ways Of Preparing It For Human Consumption, Reprinted 1983 for Tuskegee Institute National Historic Site, George Washington Carver National Monument by Eastern National Park and Monument Association
Of all the money crops grown by Macon County farmers, perhaps there are none more promising than the peanut in its several varieties and their almost limitless possibilities.
Of the many good things in their favor, the following stand out as most prominent:
Like all other members of the pod-bearing family, they enrich the soil.
They are easily and cheaply grown.
For man the nuts possess a wider range of food values than any other legume.
The nutritive value of the hay as a stock food compares favorably with that of the cowpea.
They are easy to plant, easy to grow, and easy to harvest.
The great food-and-forage value of the peanut will increase in proportion to the rapidity with which we make it a real study. This will increase consumption, and, therefore, must increase production.
In Macon County, two crops per year of the Spanish variety can be raised.
The peanut exerts a dietetic or a medicinal effect upon the human system that is very desirable.
I doubt if there is another foodstuff that can be so universally eaten, in some form, by every individual.
Pork fattened from peanuts and hardened off with a little corn just before killing, is almost if not quite equal to the famous red-gravy hams, or the world renowned Beechnut breakfast bacon.
The nuts yield a high percentage of oil of superior quality.
The clean cake, after the oil has been removed, is very high in muscle-building properties (protein), and the ease with which the meal blends in with flour, meal, etc., makes it of especial value to bakers, confectioners, candy-makers, and ice cream factories.
Peanut oil is one of the best known vegetable oils.
A pound of peanuts contain a little more of the body-building nutrients than a pound of sirloin steak, while of the heat and energy producing nutrients it has more than twice as much.
There are many varieties of the peanut, all possessing more or less merit. A number have been tested here on our Station grounds and we can heartily recommend the following varieties in the order named:
First, The Spanish—As compared with most other varieties, the vines are small, and upright in growth, with nearly all the pods clinging close to the tap-root; hence, they can be planted closer together and the yield will be larger.
This variety produced 59 bushels per acre on very light, sandy soil.
Second, The Georgia and Tennessee Red—These are practically one and the same variety-habit of growth, and fruiting qualities are much the same as the Spanish-with us it made a slightly lower yield.
This variety has from three to four kernels to the pod. The nuts are rich in flavor.
Third, The Virginia Running Variety—This variety is often referred to as the typical American peanut. It is decidedly the most popular with the trade. The pods are large and white, the vines spreading, and under favorable conditions it fruits nearly out to the ends of the branches.
With reference to soil, there are two things to bear in mind; viz., whether they are for market or home consumption.
The trade demands a light-colored shell, which is only produced on light, sandy, porous soil.
More bushels per acre can be grown on stiff clayey soil than upon light soil, but the pods will be stained dark. In fact, any land that will produce good corn will produce good peanuts provided there is plenty of lime in it.
In the preparation of the soil, the chief essentials are:
Deep plowing, from 8 to 9 inches.
Thorough pulverization with a harrow, drag, smoothing board, etc.
Remove all stones, roots, stumps, clods, and obstructions of all kinds.
The peanut is an interesting plant, in that it adjusts itself to many kinds and methods of fertilization. It does well fertilized exactly as for corn; makes a splendid yield when given the same treatment as cowpeas; does equally well when fertilized the same as for cotton.
For the sandy soils of Macon County, we found the following compost mixture most satisfactory:
In the fall and winter, a large pen was filled with leaves—muck from the swamp—and farmyard manure. The mixture consisted of one load of leaves from the woods together with the rich top earth, one load of muck from the swamp, and one load of manure from the barns, pig-pen, poultry house, etc. The pen was filled in this way, a rough shed put over it to throw off the excess of water, so that the fertility would not be washed out. Eighteen tons of this mixture, together with 100 lbs. acid phosphate, 50 lbs. kainit, and 200 lbs. lime, were applied to the acre.
Where one must depend upon a commercial mixture, the one given below gave decidedly the largest yield:
Acid Phosphate 55 lbs.
Cotton-seed meal 125 lbs.
Kainit 100 lbs.
Barnyard manure 3 tons.
Agricultural lime 200 lbs.
NOTE—On soils containing lime, do not add any to the fertilizer mixture.

Dynamic relationships between the price of oil, gold and financial variables in Japan: a bounds testing approach
This study employs the bounds testing approach to cointegration to investigate the relationships between the prices of two strategic commodities: gold and oil and the financial variables (interest rate, exchange rate and stock price) of Japan – a major oil-consuming and gold-holding country. Our results suggest that the price of gold and stock, among others, can help form expectations of higher inflation over time. In the short run, only gold price impacts the interest rate in Japan. Overall the findings of this study could benefit both the Japanese monetary authority and investors who hold the Japanese yen in their portfolios. For instance, our findings imply that the optimal choice in a long term for those investors who buy the Japanese yen would be to include either gold or oil or both in their portfolios.

Appeals from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.
Before BROWN, Chief Judge, and COLEMAN, GOLDBERG, AINSWORTH, GODBOLD, MORGAN, CLARK, RONEY, GEE, TJOFLAT, FAY, RUBIN, and VANCE, Circuit Judges.*
The opinion of the panel, 5 Cir., 556 F.2d 298, is withdrawn in its entirety. That opinion is vacated so as to leave open in this circuit all issues decided there.
This Title VII case is controlled by United Air Lines v. Evans, 431 U.S. 553, 97 S.Ct. 1885, 52 L.Ed.2d 571 (1977), decided subsequent to the appeal in this cause. The district court decision in Evans, which was reinstated by the decision of the Supreme Court, dismissed Ms. Evans' complaint on the ground that it had no jurisdiction of her time-barred claim.1
The Evans Court concluded:
A discriminatory act which is not made the basis for a timely charge is the legal equivalent of a discriminatory act which occurred before the statute was passed. It may constitute relevant background evidence in a proceeding in which the status of a current practice is at issue, but separately considered, it is merely an unfortunate event in history which has no present legal consequences.
Since no plaintiff in this cause made a timely filing with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC),2 the district court should have dismissed this cause for lack of jurisdiction. Plaintiffs sought to excuse their belated agency action by claiming that the discriminatory practices here were continuing wrongs which extended the time for filing. Evans also rejected this theory under precisely similar facts.
In the present appeal, plaintiffs concede Evans completely controls the present case,3 but urge that we deny retroactive effect to this precedent on the equitable ground that they changed jobs and moved their homes in reliance on the district court's action. Neither does equity compel nor law permit such a result. This decision of the district court was duly appealed and has been at all times subject to appellate revision. Under these facts, we are legally bound to apply the law as it is given at the time we adjudicate. Thorpe v. Housing Authority of City of Durham, 393 U.S. 268, 89 S.Ct. 518, 21 L.Ed.2d 474 (1969); United States v. Hinds County School Board, 560 F.2d 619 (5th Cir. 1977).
The judgment of the district court is vacated and the appeal is dismissed.
ALVIN B. RUBIN, Circuit Judge, with whom VANCE, Circuit Judge, joins, dissenting:
Insofar as the majority opinion holds that the consent decree must be vacated because the trial court lacked jurisdiction of this case, and that this court now lacks jurisdiction over any appeal from its action, I must respectfully dissent.
United Air Lines, Inc. v. Evans, 1977, 431 U.S. 553, 556, 97 S.Ct. 1885, 1888, 52 L.Ed.2d 571, decided two years after the district court acted in this matter, held that the failure to file a charge with the EEOC within the time prescribed by the statute "foreclosed any relief under Title VII."1 The dismissal in Evans was for failure to show compliance with the statute; it was, therefore, a dismissal for lack of legal merit in the claim. This was noted in the dissent in Evans, 431 U.S. at 561, 97 S.Ct. at 1890, 52 L.Ed.2d at 580, note 1, "Although the district court dismissed (the claim) for lack of jurisdiction . . . , the basis for his ruling was that the complaint was time barred. Thus, the dismissal closely resembles a dismissal for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted . . . ." See also, International Union of Elec. Workers v. Robbins & Myers, Inc., 1976, 429 U.S. 229, 97 S.Ct. 441, 50 L.Ed.2d 427.
Here, however, the majority dismisses the suit for lack of jurisdiction on the thesis that, if the EEOC complaint in this case was not timely filed (a conclusion that was not certain at the time the district court acted but is now established as a result of the Evans decision), the district court lacked jurisdiction of the case from the beginning. Because I do not read either Evans or the statute as making timely filing with the EEOC a jurisdictional prerequisite to court action, but merely a bar to successful litigation, I respectfully dissent.
Courts, including this one, have said repeatedly that timely filing with the EEOC is a "jurisdictional" prerequisite to a Title VII action, see, e. g., Cutliff v. Greyhound Lines, Inc., 5 Cir. 1977, 558 F.2d 803, 806; compare Pacheco v. Phelps Dodge Refining Corp., 5 Cir. 1976, 531 F.2d 709; East v. Romine, Inc., 5 Cir. 1975, 518 F.2d 332, 336; Belt v. Johnson Motor Lines, Inc., 5 Cir. 1972, 458 F.2d 443, 445, note 3; Boudreaux v. Baton Rouge Marine Contracting Co., 5 Cir. 1971, 437 F.2d 1011, 1014-1015, note 6; Culpepper v. Reynolds Metals Co., 5 Cir. 1970, 421 F.2d 888. What they mean by using the term "jurisdictional" is not clear, but it does not appear that, absent timely filing, a federal district court lacks jurisdiction of the subject matter of such a suit. Certainly, timely compliance with the conditions to legal action set forth in the Act is indispensable. This is clear not only from the express language of Section 2000e-5, but is a logical conclusion from the expressed legislative favor for voluntary conciliation.2 Compare Beverly v. Lone Star Lead Const. Corp., 5 Cir. 1971, 437 F.2d 1136, with Mickel v. South Carolina State Employment Service, 4 Cir. 1967, 377 F.2d 239, cert. denied, 389 U.S. 877, 88 S.Ct. 177, 19 L.Ed.2d 166.
Thus, a claim that is not timely filed is subject to dismissal either on the ground that the plaintiff has not stated a claim for which relief could be granted, or, if the facts do not appear on the face of the pleadings, on motion for summary judgment. But these are dismissals because the claim has no merit, not because the court lacks subject matter jurisdiction.
The jurisdictional portion of the statute3 is not qualified. It contains no provision withdrawing jurisdiction with respect to claims that are either not timely filed or are without merit for some other reason.4 When it has considered other statutes, the Supreme Court has held that a claim's lack of merit (because it does not meet statutory prerequisites) does not imply a lack of jurisdiction in the court to consider and reject it. Romero v. International Terminal Operating Co., 1959, 358 U.S. 354, 359, 79 S.Ct. 468, 473, 3 L.Ed.2d 368; Lauritzen v. Larsen, 1953, 345 U.S. 571, 574, 73 S.Ct. 921, 924, 97 L.Ed.2d 1254. See, EEOC v. L. & N. R. Co., 5 Cir. 1974, 505 F.2d 610, cert. denied, 1975, 423 U.S. 824, 96 S.Ct. 39, 46 L.Ed.2d 41, where this court held the 180 day period provided for suits by the EEOC, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f) (1) is not a jurisdictional limitation. That same result should be reached here.
Indeed, this court has recognized:
(The filing requirement in Title VII) is not 'jurisdictional' in the sense that compliance with it vel non determines the jurisdiction of the district court, without respect to any other circumstances in a particular case. We accept the view that the requirement should be analogized to statutes of limitation. Equitable modifications, such as tolling and estoppel, should also be applied here.
(I)t is clear that the Supreme Court and this court have not treated time limitations contained in Title VII as inflexible 'jurisdictional' absolutes, but have modified them in the interest of giving effect to the broad remedial purposes of the Act.
Reeb v. Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc., 5 Cir. 1975, 516 F.2d 924, at 928-929.5
Although this court has characterized the requirement as "jurisdictional" subsequent to Reeb, it has done so only after noting no circumstances that would justify modifying or waiving the requirement; hence, the complaint in those cases would have been dismissed regardless whether the filing requirement was characterized as jurisdictional or as a condition of bringing suit. Cutliff v. Greyhound Lines, Inc., 5 Cir. 1977, 558 F.2d 803, 805 ("conditions precedent or jurisdictional prerequisites"). Pacheco v. Phelps Dodge Refining Corp., 5 Cir. 1976, 531 F.2d 709; East v. Romine, Inc., 5 Cir. 1975, 518 F.2d 332, 336. See also, Eastland v. Tennessee Valley Authority, 5 Cir. 1977, 553 F.2d 364, 368, cert. denied, 1977, --- U.S. ----, 98 S.Ct. 611, 54 L.Ed.2d 479. Reeb has been followed by at least one other circuit court. See Dartt v. Shell Oil Co., 10 Cir. 1976, 539 F.2d 1256, aff'd per curiam, 1977, --- U.S. ----, 98 S.Ct. 600, 54 L.Ed.2d 472.
The thesis that timely filing is a prerequisite to subject matter jurisdiction is inconsistent with the rulings of the Supreme Court in other Title VII class actions, and, also, with its views concerning jurisdictional requirements in other kinds of class actions. Thus, timely filing by one member of a Title VII class makes eligible for consideration the claims of those class members who did not themselves file claims. Franks v. Bowman Transp. Co., Inc., 1976, 424 U.S. 747, 96 S.Ct. 1251, 47 L.Ed.2d 444; U. S. v. Georgia Power Co., 5 Cir. 1973, 474 F.2d 906, 925; compare, Inda v. United Air Lines, Inc., 9 Cir. 1977, 565 F.2d 554, 559. Hence, one member of a class may suspend what the majority consider a jurisdictional limitation for members of the class who have not complied with the jurisdictional requirement.
Yet, a claim of more than $10,000 by any one class member in a suit based on diversity will not similarly grace those claims that fall below the jurisdictional minimum, Zahn v. International Paper Co., 1973, 414 U.S. 291, 94 S.Ct. 505, 38 L.Ed.2d 511; Snyder v. Harris, 1969, 394 U.S. 332, 89 S.Ct. 1053, 22 L.Ed.2d 319. If timely filing is a jurisdictional requirement under Title VII, in the way that, for example, a minimum amount in controversy is a jurisdictional requirement for suits brought under 28 U.S.C. § 1332, then it is difficult to reconcile these decisions.
If compliance with the filing requirement may be subject to equitable modification and estoppel, these doctrines should be applied here.6 See Autera v. Robinson, 1969, 136 U.S.App.D.C. 216, 419 F.2d 1197; Cia Anon Venezolana De Navegacion v. Harris, 5 Cir. 1967, 374 F.2d 33. The parties to this case could not foresee that Evans would be decided as it was; they reached a settlement based on their appraisal of the strengths and weaknesses in their legal and factual positions. What they did in good faith7 (on the basis of what could then be known) should not be abrogated because all of us not know more.8 The parties have lived with the consent decree for three years and relied upon its continuing effect.
There are a host of classic reasons why court should encourage litigants to compose their differences. To this list we should now add crowded dockets, the cost of litigation, and the long wait for judicial determination. In 1978, the litigants and the trial court learn for the first time what they could not have known in 1974 when this suit was commenced: that their good faith efforts to compromise were, perhaps, for naught. Lawyers and trial judges may well inquire what is to be their course in future litigation: Must the court insist that the parties litigate to final judgment on the merits? Or should the lawsuit lie fallow until the almost unpredictable course of future litigation becomes knowable history?
It is difficult to perceive the result of dismissing this action. The consent decree is obviously wiped out, but it does not necessarily follow that the settlement agreement on which it was based is obliterated. That agreement was consented to by the parties before it was presented to the court to be incorporated into a decree; it presumably remains binding whether or not the court had jurisdiction to adopt it as a judicial order. Thomas v. State of La., 5 Cir. 1976, 534 F.2d 613; Warner v. Rossignol, 1 Cir. 1975, 513 F.2d 678; see also, U. S. v. ITT Continental Baking Co., 1975, 420 U.S. 223, 236-237, 95 S.Ct. 926, 934, 43 L.Ed.2d 148, 235.9 The evidence indicates that the agreement was the valid result of good faith collective bargaining. The institution of litigation under Title VII does not abrogate the duties of employers and employees to bargain collectively or their powers to bargain with respect to matters involving the elimination of alleged discrimination; it merely requires that the good faith, always incumbent on collective bargaining agents, be exercised in conformity with Title VII and any other applicable laws.10 Compare, Myers v. Gilman Paper Corp., 5 Cir. 1977, 544 F.2d 837, 857, amended and modified on other grounds, 556 F.2d 758; cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 98 S.Ct. 28, 54 L.Ed.2d 59; United States v. Allegheny-Ludlum Industries, Inc., 5 Cir. 1975, 517 F.2d 826, cert. denied, 1976, 425 U.S. 944, 96 S.Ct. 1684, 48 L.Ed.2d 187. If my supposition that their agreement is still valid is erroneous, then presumably a new dispute exists with respect to the fate of the employees who were restored to work positions, and this may well give rise to a new lawsuit.
A peace treaty was executed by parties judicially found to have negotiated with each other in good faith. To dismiss the suit now not only casts doubt upon the continuing effect of their compact, but undermines any effort to compromise Title VII litigation when legal issues relating to the existence of a cause of action are disputed.
For these reasons, I respectfully DISSENT from the dismissal. It would serve no useful purpose for me to attempt to review the action I would take on the various troublesome issues in the case were jurisdiction sustained. However, I concur in the withdrawal of the panel opinion insofar as it related to Rule 23, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
Judges Thornberry and Hill did not participate in the consideration of or decision in this case
This alleged discriminatory termination of Ms. Evans as a stewardess in 1968 was not made the basis of charges filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission until 1973. The applicable statute required such a charge to be filed within 90 days of the alleged unlawful practice. 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(d). The 1972 amendments enlarged this time to 180 days. 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e)
The most prompt EEOC filing by any plaintiff here was not made until 1 year and 91/2 months after the alleged discrimination. The charge filed by one stewardess-plaintiff was over 10 years late
Their supplemental brief on Rehearing En Banc states, "If that decision had been in existence when this action was initiated, the action would not have been initiated."
The court noted, but did not comment on, the fact that the district court "dismissed the complaint on the ground that it had no jurisdiction of a time-barred claim." (Emphasis supplied.) Id., note 8. It does comment, "Respondent cannot rely for jurisdiction on the single act of failing to assign new seniority credit . . . ." (Emphasis supplied.) Id., note 9
At first many courts considered an actual conciliation effort to be prerequisite to suit, but ultimately it was agreed that filing with the EEOC suffices, even if the agency fails to initiate a conciliatory effort. See Dent v. St. Louis San Francisco Ry. Co., N.D.Ala.1967, 265 F.Supp. 56, rev'd, 5 Cir. 1969, 406 F.2d 399, cert. denied, 1971, 403 U.S. 912, 91 S.Ct. 2219, 29 L.Ed.2d 689; Quarles v. Philip Morris, Inc., E.D.Va.1967, 271 F.Supp. 842; Mondy v. Crown Zellerbach Corp., E.D.La.1967, 271 F.Supp. 258, rev'd on other grounds, 5 Cir. 1968, 398 F.2d 496; see also Johnson v. Seaboard Coast Line Ry. Co., 4 Cir. 1968, 405 F.2d 645, cert. denied, 1969, 394 U.S. 918, 89 S.Ct. 1189, 22 L.Ed.2d 451. The Act does require that litigants have "at least an opportunity to reach a more amicable conciliation out of court." Beverly v. Lone Star Lead Const. Corp., 5 Cir. 1971, 437 F.2d 1136, 1139. (Emphasis in original.) The majority opinion distorts the original rationale for the filing requirement by vacating, for failure to timely file, a consent decree that resulted from the very informal conciliation process that the filing requirement sought to promote
42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f)(3) provides:
Each United States district court and each United States court of a place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States shall have jurisdiction of actions brought under this subchapter. Such an action may be brought in any judicial district in the State in which the unlawful employment practice is alleged to have been committed, in the judicial district in which the employment records relevant to such practice are maintained and administered, or in the judicial district in which the aggrieved person would have worked but for the alleged unlawful employment practice, but if the respondent is not found within any such district, such an action may be brought within the judicial district in which the respondent has his principal office. For purposes of sections 1404 and 1406 of Title 28, the judicial district in which the respondent has his principal office shall in all cases be considered a district in which the action might have been brought.
Compare The Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. § 405(g)
See Judge Wisdom's perceptive analysis in Reeb
The trial court expressly precluded intervenors from raising jurisdictional issues; see the panel opinion, 556 F.2d at 301, and held defendant-appellees were estopped from repudiating their own settlement agreement. See the trial court opinion, 404 F.Supp. at 525; see also, Cia Anon Venezolana De Navegacion v. Harris, supra, 374 F.2d at 35; Autera v. Robinson, supra, 419 F.2d at 1201
It is well-established that under some circumstances parties will be barred from raising the lack of jurisdiction of the trial court. See Chicot County Drainage Dist. v. Baxter State Bank, 1940, 308 U.S. 371, 60 S.Ct. 317, 84 L.Ed. 329; In re Trimble Co., 3 Cir. 1973, 479 F.2d 103; Lubben v. Selective Service System Local Bd. No. 27, 1 Cir. 1972, 453 F.2d 645; Mike Hooks, Inc. v. Pena, 5 Cir. 1963, 313 F.2d 696.
See the trial court opinion, 404 F.Supp. at 521. See also, the panel opinion, 556 F.2d at 300, note 4. The original agreement was modified by the district court after intervenors objected to its terms. The union was not actively involved at the time of these modifications, 556 F.2d at 300, note 4
The compromise of a claim without merit, if fairly negotiated, is binding. Cia Anon Venzolana De Navegacion v. Harris, 5 Cir. 1967, 374 F.2d 33
The construction and enforcement of the agreement are governed by principles of state law. Florida Ed. Ass'n, Inc. v. Atkinson, 5 Cir. 1973, 481 F.2d 662
Title VII imposes a duty on a union that is a collective bargaining agent, and the union may itself be charged with violating the statute in its agency role. Carey v. Greyhound Bus Co., 5 Cir. 1974, 500 F.2d 1372; Guerra v. Manchester Terminal Corp., 5 Cir. 1974, 498 F.2d 641; Macklin v. Spector Freight Systems, Inc., 1973, 156 U.S.App.D.C. 69, 478 F.2d 979

Technology in Growth Theory TECHNOLOGY IN GROWTH THEORY Dale W. Jorgenson* The early 1970s marked the emergence of a rare professional con- sensus on economic growth, articulated in two strikingly dissimilar books. Simon Kuznets, the greatest of twentieth century empirical econ- omists, summarized his decades of research in Economic Growth of Nations (1971). The enormous impact of this research was recognized in the same year by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in awarding the third Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel to Kuznets "for his empirically founded interpretation of economic growth which has led to new and deepened insight into the economic and social structure and process of development" (Assar Lindbeck 1992, p. 79). Robert Solow's book Growth Theory (1970), modestly subtitled "An Exposition," contained his 1969 Radcliffe Lectures at the University of Warwick. In these lectures Solow also summarized decades of research, initiated by the theoretical work of Roy Harrod (1939) and Evsey Domar (1946). Solow's seminal role in this research, beginning with his brilliant and pathbreaking essay of 1956, "A Contribution to the Theory of Economic Growth," was recognized, simply and elegantly, by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in awarding Solow the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1987 "for his contributions to the theory of economic growth" (Karl-Goran Maler 1992, p. 191). *Frederic Eaton Abbe Professor of Economics, Harvard University.

China is a gargantuan nation where even the smallest municipalities can have larger populations than many a European or American city. With so much space to cover and so many stories to tell, it's all too easy to just focus on the next big adventure and trying to discover the "real China," but sometimes the real China is what's right in front of you, down the alley where you might head out to buy water and toilet paper every other day, and not on that 12-hour hard seat trip through the jungles of Guangxi. In City Watch we strive to uncover some of these little-known cities with a lot to offer, if only you know where to look.
Former Ming Dynasty and Republic of China capital, Nanjing offers a wealth of historical sights that survived the development of modern China. While the breakneck development that has thrust Beijing and Shanghai onto the world stage hasn't quite made it to Nanjing, it's no backwater. It's a modern city with transport conveniently provided by a two-line subway and a burgeoning music and nightlife scene. While it lives up to its name as one of the "four furnaces of China" (the humidity is what makes the heat truly oppressive), cool respite is close by at Xuanwu Lake, Zijin Shan or in one of the city's many attractions, many located near the center of the city. A relatively short fast train ride from Shanghai, there's much to do and see in the old "South Capital"—plenty enough for a weekend trip or a week-long excursion. Although, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the furnace.
Gu Lou is where to go
The district surrounding the eponymous Nanjing Drum Tower is a great starting point for exploring the city. The Ming-era Drum Tower in Gu Lou District has a small museum at the top where you can take in a view of the surrounding area, with the traditional Chinese rooftops of Nanjing University peeking up nearby through the trees. If you're taking a weekend trip to Nanjing, start from a Zifeng Tower, you'll find what you're looking for. From up high in Zifeng Tower's InterContinental, you can get a good vista of the city—even if you don't want to drop the kuai for a five-star room, you can drop by the 78th floor bar. Several of the city's historic sites are also located within walking distance from the district. To the northwest is beautiful Xuanwu Lake. Once an imperial getaway, the public park is surrounded by walking paths, playgrounds and cherry blossom groves. When the weather is nice, locals are out enjoying the scenery and beautiful weather or getting in some paddle-boating. While there's not much historic about it besides the back story, Xuanwu Lake is bordered to its south by the Taicheng City Wall, one of the remaining sections of the city wall.
Beside the wall, the Jiming Temple is alive with the chanting of Buddhist nuns and faithful locals burning incense and praying. If it's close to a meal time, the temple's vegetarian restaurant has tasty meat-free (and faux-meat) dishes on the cheap. Avoid the hot plum juice. Not for everyone, but a good escape from the heat, the Nanjing Museum of Paleontology is a short walk south from the temple. Farther to the east lies one of the structures from Nanjing's day as the Republic of China capital, the Presidential Palace. The building was originally built as a Ming Dynasty palace and later used by the Taiping Rebellion—who also made Nanjing their capital, renaming it Tianjing or "Heavenly Capital"—before Dr. Sun Yatsen was sworn in as provisional president at the palace. The Nationalist government wasn't able to actually use the building as the Presidential Palace until after the defeat of the Japanese at the end of World War II when they were forced to leave the city they took the city in 1937.
While the Presidential Palace is more of interest to history buffs, many of the other ROC-era Nanjing attractions are interesting whether or not history is to you. One of the most attractive Chinese university campuses, Nanjing University's Gu Lou campus, on the south side of the district, looks like something you'd expect to find in a historic school in Europe or the United States, but with distinct Chinese characteristics. Actually established before the ROC, this briefly served as one of the flagship campuses of modern China, with prominent international figures taking time to visit or teach at the university. Beautiful ivy-covered brick buildings line wide tree-lined streets and open grassy areas make for a lovely afternoon stroll (maybe while you consider finally taking those Chinese classes).
To the west is a much darker part of that part of Chinese history. The Memorial Hall of the Nanjing Massacre is dedicated to the victims (300,000 is the official Chinese government number, but other accounts vary) and tells the history of the Second Sino-Japanese War, which ultimately became a facet of the Pacific theater of World War II, and the "Rape of Nanking," when Japanese troops took the city, slaughtering and raping thousands. Exhibits in the museum overlap somewhat and actually looking at everything on display and exploring each part would easily take several hours. A number of documentaries, including Nanking, and books, like The Rape of Nanking, explore more about the event. The latter is on sale at the memorial's gift shop. More of the city's history can also be explored at the Nanjing Museum, to Gu Lou's east.
Zijin Shan
Not many big Chinese cities are so close to such a large natural area. The slopes of the "Purple-Gold Mountain" rise up just past the center of the city and are reachable by a somewhat long walk or a short cab or bus ride. Zijin Shan is lined with hiking paths to explore, including the Zijin Shan plank way. From the end of the plank way, the mountain can be ascended by cable car, which passes several of the monuments on the mountain as well as the Zijin Observatory (Zǐjīn Shān Tiānwéntái, 紫金山天文台). There's a park at the cable car terminus as well as hiking trails leading down and around the mountain. Exploring is made even easier by the temperature, which is somewhat cooler and less humid than in the city.
One of the monuments seen from the cable car seems somewhat out of place in Mainland China: the blue-tiled roof and white of the building call to mind the ROC flag today used by Taiwan, but Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum is a testament to the importance of Dr. Sun to so many Chinese, wherever they call home. While his portrait may only appear in Beijing's Tian'anmen Square on some national holidays, people come to pay tribute year-round at this beautiful structure, modeled after traditional Chinese tombs.
As with the Nationalists, the Ming Dynasty time in their capital at Nanjing was short lived. After the first heir of Emperor Hongwu, first of the Ming Dynasty, was usurped, the Emperor Yongle moved the capital to his own base of power in Beijing. With the seat of power moved north, only the first Ming emperor was laid to rest in Nanjing (what happened to the short-reigning second Ming emperor is unknown, as is his final resting place). Also visible from the cable car ride up, the Ming Xiaoling Tomb is made up of a long, statue-lined "spirit walk" leading to the tomb itself.
City walls, stinky tofu and garden tours
The Nanjing City Wall was one of the longest city walls in the world, with 35 km (22 mi) of 12-meter-high (40 ft) circling what is today central Nanjing. History was tough on the city walls, with the Taiping rebels taking the city and having it taken back from them and later the Japanese invasion. Several segments still exist, however, including a long segment in southwest central Nanjing that includes the Zhonghua Gate.
Tours and personal audio guides are available for exploring the fortress at the Zhonghua Gate, but definitely the best part of this section is renting a bike and riding on the city wall. Rentals may or may not be available depending on crowds, lack of crowds or the heat, so don't get your hopes up too much.
When you're done Nanjing Confucius Temple area. Although the area is obviously centered on the Confucius Temple, the activity in the sprawling market area is definitely concentrated on shopping, boat rides and eating. Our man Hungry Dan explored stinky tofu and street food in Fuzi Miao (the Chinese name of the Confucius Temple, used interchangeably to refer to the whole area), which includes street stall favorites, intimidating exotica and places like KFC for those not ready to break out of the comfort zone.
The Confucius Temple itself is interesting to explore, but the two faces of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom History Museum are more so, despite the hefty price tag. The former Ming Dynasty royal garden, later given to a Ming general, was taken by Taiping officials during their time in "Tianjing." During the day, guided tours (available in English) focus on the history of the pseudo-Christian rebellion that almost toppled the Qing Dynasty. After 5 pm when the museum closes, the museum reopens as a nighttime garden tour, when the rockeries, flora, waterways and pagodas are lit by colorful lights. The nighttime tour ends with a Chinese language performance that includes local tea, although a few pitches for souvenir and photo buying are also included.
Rock in the South Capital
While most locals will direct night life inquiries to the gaudy bar street at 1912, Mexican restaurant and bar Behind the Wall offers a more Western-style spot for relaxing with a pint of brew. The latter, located near Zifeng Tower in Gu Lou District, is also a great rock bar and an important part of Nanjing's developing music scene. Once a year, the city puts on the Nanjing Jazz and World Music Festival, one of the largest jazz festivals in China. Since 2002, bands from around the world have come to Nanjing in October for the popular music fest. For fans of something a bit heavier, the Nanjing International Music Festival brings together a variety of domestic and international rock acts for one of China's few rock festivals. The dates vary; the festival was held in October in 2010 when rainstorms made for a soggy time and in April and May in 2011.

Update: Google rolled out an algorithm update this week that's having an impact on rankings and bringing in more domains in to the Google search results page.
Confirming the improvements of the diversity of search results in terms of different domains returned -- Google Matt Cutts tweeted:
Just fyi, we rolled out a small algo change this week that improves the diversity of search results in terms of different domains returned.-- Matt Cutts (@mattcutts) September 14, 2012
Google earlier this year, rolled out more than 30 updates to AdWords policies, and today the company announced of updating AdWords policies which come into effect on October 15 -on "Software Principles, Arbitrage, Advertiser Claims, and Relevance, Clarity and Accuracy."
Here's a quick overview of the update:
- "We've added several specific examples of the kinds of advertiser behavior typically associated with arbitrage (sites that are designed solely or predominantly to show ads).
- We've made it even clearer how advertisers must be fully transparent in their ads when describing the experiences on their landing pages.
- We've beefed up our rules about the use of keyword insertion in ads.
- We've reworked our AdWords policy governing Software Principles to ensure that users are given important information before downloading software on their computers and that the software is not harmful or hard-to-uninstall," Google explains.
For more details of these updates, as well as more information for advertisers about how they can come into compliance with policies, visit this Help Center.
In another blog post, Google posted a FAQ from government webmasters -- per Google Webmaster post:
How do I fix an incorrect phone number or address in search results or Google Maps?
Incorrect or missing phone numbers, addresses, and other information can be fixed by claiming Google+ Local listing.
Google suggests, to use a shared Google Account with an email address at .gov domain if possible. "Usually, ownership of the page is confirmed via a phone call or post card."
I've claimed the listing for our office, but I have 43 different city parks to claim in Google Maps, and none of them have phones or mailboxes. How do I claim them?
Use the bulk uploader! If you have 10 or more listings / addresses to claim at the same time, you can upload a specially-formatted spreadsheet. Go to www.google.com/places/, click the "Get started now" button, and then look for the "bulk upload" link. If you run into any issues, use the Verification Troubleshooter.
We're moving from a .gov domain to a new .com domain. How should we move the site?
Check this Help Center article for more details, with the basic process outlined below:
- Make sure you have both the old and new domain verified in the same Webmaster Tools account.
- Use a 301 redirect on all pages to tell search engines your site has moved permanently.
- Don't do a single redirect from all pages to your new home page -- this gives a bad user experience.
- If there's no 1:1 match between pages on your old site and your new site (recommended), try to redirect to a new page with similar content.
- If you can't do redirects, consider cross-domain canonical links.
- Make sure to check if the new location is crawlable by Googlebot using the Fetch as Google feature in Webmaster Tools.
- Use the Change of Address tool in Webmaster Tools to notify Google of your site's move.
- Have a look at the Links to Your Site in Webmaster Tools and inform the important sites that link to your content about your new location.
- We recommend not implementing other major changes at the same time, like large-scale content, URL structure, or navigational updates.
- To help Google pick up new URLs faster, use the Fetch as Google tool to ask Google to crawl your new site, and submit a Sitemap listing the URLs on your new site.
- To prevent confusion, it's best to retain control of your old site's domain and keep redirects in place for as long as possible -- at least 180 days, Google explained.
What if you're moving just part of the site? In that case, many of the above steps apply: "verify both sites in Webmaster Tools, use 301 redirects, clean up old links, etc." "In this case you don't need to use the Change of Address form in Webmaster Tools since only part of your site is moving," Google said. If you'll have some of the same content on both sites, you may include a cross-domain canonical link pointing to the preferred domain.
We've done a ton of work to create unique titles and descriptions for pages. How do we get Google to pick them up?
First off, that's great! Better titles and descriptions help users decide to click through to get the information they need on your page. The government webmasters I've spoken with care a lot about the content and organization of their sites, and work hard to provide informative text for users.
Changes are picked up as Google recrawl your site, as the generation of page titles and descriptions (or "snippets") is completely automated and "takes into account both the content of a page as well as references to it that appear on the web," Google said.
But, you can do following two things to let Google know about URLs change:
- Submit an updated XML Sitemap.
- In Webmaster Tools, use the Fetch as Google feature on a URL you've updated. Then you can choose to submit it to the index. (Note, you can choose to submit all of the linked pages as well -- if you've updated an entire section of your site, you might want to submit the main page or an index page for that section to let us know about a broad collection of URLs.)
How do I get into the YouTube government partner program?
The government partner program has been discontinued, but most of the features are now available to regular YouTube account. For example, you can now upload videos longer than 10 minutes.
Finally, Google also explained the process of verifying a Google+ page.
What does it mean to verify a +page?
For those new, "Verifying a +page confirms that the +page actually belongs to you. Once your +page is verified, it'll appear with a checkmark designed to help our users find what they're looking for."
To verify a +page, follow these simple steps:
- Link your +page to your website: Fill out the 'About' section of your Google+ page, being sure to enter your site's top-level URL.
- Link your website to your +page: Add a Google+ badge or code snippet to your site, which lets us know that the site is associated with your +page. Google suggests using the Google+ badge, as it can help you attract additional followers -- "for top publishers, adding the Google+ badge helped drive a 38% increase in followers," Goole said.
- Complete the verification request form.
- That's it!
- In addition, you can also place an author tag on your website (blog) contents, which means your authorized photo and name appear next to search results for content you've created.
- Sign up for Google+ and create a Google+ profile.
- Make sure you have a profile photo with a recognisable headshot.
- Make sure that a byline containing your name appears on each page of your content (for example, "By Steven Levy").
- Make sure that your byline name matches the name on your Google+ profile.
- Verify that you have an email address (such as firstname.lastname@example.com) on the same domain as your content. (Don't have an email address on the same domain? Use this method to link your content to your Google+ profile)
- Return to this page and enter your email address.
"You can link content you publish on a specific domain (such as www.example.com) to your Google+ profile."

Latin Style Pork Roast
Recipe by gingerkitten D
I adapted this recipe from a recipe for Puerto Rican Pernil given to me by a friend. I loved the Pernil, but it was too fatty for me and took longer to prepare. This is faster, easier, and lower in fat. (Sazon is a seasoning product made by GOYA and can be usually found in the Ethnic food section or the grocery store. Substitute small amounts of MSG, salt, garlic powder, and coriander if you are unable to find Sazon.)
Top Review by Michelle S.
OH SO GOOD! Talk about flavor! I followed the seaoning directions exactly as written except that I left the roast "marinate" overnight. The aroma wafting through the house as this cooked made my mouth water. I sliced it thin and served it on crusty rolls with potato salad...it was a most delicious meal! The combination of seasonings is what made this so special....please try it soon!
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 lbs boneless lean pork roast
- 1 packet sazon goya with coriander and annatto
- adobo seasoning
- 2 tablespoons dried oregano
- nonstick cooking spray
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Sprinkle Adobo seasoning on the roast and rub in using the back of a fork.
- Open the packet of Sazon and rub into the pork.
- Rub the oregano into the roast and at this point you can allow the roast to"marinate" for deeper flavor or cook right away.
- Place the roast in a shallow baking pan that has been coated with non-stick spray.
- Roast, and check the temperature after 45 minutes, if the temperature is at least 160 degrees (this usually takes 1 hour, but may vary by roast size), remove from the oven and cover the pan with aluminum foil and allow to sit for 15 minutes.
- Slice as desired.

One of the things that bug me the most when buying something are the accompanying rebates, but sometimes that is the only way to get a good deal. When it comes to online purchases I like to print off the rebates as soon as I make the purchase, but then the laziness kicks in for a few weeks simply because I don't feel like filling out the form.
Luckily some of the free PDF readers out there offer annotation capabilities, and so you can actually fill out a rebate form on your computer before it's even printed. Not only will it save you the hassle of having to handwrite the form, but I'm sure it will save the person on the receiving end some trouble trying to read your handwriting. ;)
Here's what an example form looks like that I filled out:
So how can you do this? We've got instructions below that make use of our two favorite (and free) PDF readers. The best part is that both of the apps also have portable versions, which means that you can fill out rebate forms digitally without ever installing a program!
Both of the PDF readers make use of a typewriter tool, which gives you a lot of freedom to type anything anywhere. To use the typewriter tool you just have to click on the document where you want to start typing, and then have at it. If there are any boxes or broken fields that you need to fill in just insert spaces to even it all out, like I did in the example form above for the UPC.
–Foxit Reader (Homepage)–
In Foxit Reader you'll find what you need at Tools -> Typewriter Tools -> Typewriter. When you click on this for the first time you'll see a warning saying that an evaluation mark will be placed on the document if it's saved. Don't worry, we don't plan on saving the rebate form. Right after you get done filling out the form just go ahead and print it… there won't be an evaluation marks as long as you never save it.
–PDF-XChange Viewer (Homepage)–
In PDF-XChange Viewer just navigate to Tools -> Comment And Markup Tools -> Typewriter Tool to get started. Unlike Foxit you can save the document without any evaluation marks being placed on it, but I'm guessing that once you print the rebate form you won't need it on your computer anymore. If for some reason you like to save all of your rebate forms then this is probably the better solution for you.
I'm not 100% convinced that typing out a rebate form is faster than writing it by hand, but it's definitely a lot easier to read than one that's handwritten. So maybe it's better if only to help minimize any mistakes that may prevent you from getting your well-deserved money!

Woman in 70s sustains gunshot wound after drive-by shooting by man on scooter
A 72-year-old woman has been hurt in a drive-by shooting by a man riding a scooter.
Merseyside Police said the woman is in a stable condition in hospital with a gunshot wound to her leg which is not though to be life-threatening.
She was attacked while standing in the doorway of a house in Peckmill Green, in the Netherley area of Liverpool at around 6.10pm on Tuesday.
The force said the victim was shot by one of two men on a scooter before the pair rode off in the direction of Wood Lane.
Detectives from the Matrix serious organised crime unit are investigating and the full circumstances and motive is unclear.
Detective Chief Inspector Mark Tivendale said: "We are keeping an open mind as to why this has happened and the investigation is in its early stages. Our priority is to establish who is responsible and to bring them to justice.
"Criminals who choose to settle their disputes with a weapon do not care about the widespread fear they bring to their own communities. We cannot and will not stand by and let people like that rule the roost.
"But to achieve safer streets we need the public to tell what they know about the criminals and I promise we will take robust action and put these people before the courts and in to the prisons.
"If you know something, please come forward - silence could result in someone being seriously injured, or killed in the future."
A cordon has been set up as forensic teams examine the scene and patrols have been stepped up, the force added.

We ended up encoding all of the arguments. From what we concluded, this might be a python 2.4 bug, so this was the most general way to fix it (since other code uses run_command as well, and we want to encode as late as possible).

Lovely antique ashtrays with the likeness of George Washington.
Each ashtray is 5 1/2" long.
Strangely, one portrait of George is 1/4" larger than the other. One portrait is 1 1/2" and the other 1 1/4". Not really noticeable. I only noticed while measuring.
Excellent condition with no chips.
The partial sticker on the back of one ashtray appears to be turn of the 20th Century.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/1/2013 (1666 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
While three Winnipeg police officers had gunshot residue on them after a fleeing suspect was shot, the officer accused of the shooting had the most on him.
Alan Voth, who at the time of the shooting was a gunshot-residue expert with the RCMP and now runs his own consulting firm, told a six-woman, six-man Court of Queen's Bench jury Monday testing after the shooting found 29 samples of gunshot residue on Const. Darrel Keith Selley.
Under questioning, Voth said Selley's co-accused, Const. Kristopher John Overwater, had five samples of gunshot residue on him, while another police officer on the scene had two samples and another had none.
Voth said his RCMP employers assigned him to test the shooting victim -- something not usually done -- and found he had one piece of gunshot residue on his right hand and three on his left hand.
Later, under questioning by defence counsel Saul Simmonds, Voth admitted the testing only tells that people have gunshot residue on them, but not whether they got it from firing a gun, being where a gun is fired, or from a particular gun.
Voth also said gunshot residue can be transferred in contact between people.
Voth also confirmed if the shooting victim had made a grab for the police officer's gun, he would get gunshot residue on him.
Selley is charged with attempted murder, using a firearm and criminal negligence causing bodily harm in the shooting of Kristofer Shaun Fournier on July 16, 2007.
As well, both Selley and Overwater have pleaded not guilty to intending to wound Fornier by firing a Glock .40-calibre handgun, aggravated assault and obstruction of justice.
Court has been told Fournier, 23, was driving a stolen Yukon SUV when the pair of officers began chasing him, thinking he might have also been involved in the armed robbery of a nearby 7-Eleven store.
Fournier has testified he was driving fast through River Heights from police because he was high on meth and had cocaine in his pocket.
But Fournier told court when the vehicle spun out and he got out and started running, he heard shots and somebody allegedly yelling "Shoot him, (expletive) shoot him."
Court has been told four shots were fired, with the fourth hitting Fournier in his buttocks.
The Crown is accusing Selley of recklessly firing his weapon while chasing Fournier, while Overwater is accused of putting his own gun next to the wounded man and then claiming to other officers the suspect had made a grab for it.
The trial continues.
