Blog: Pils, thrills and headaches
Chris Brook-Carter | 20 January 2004
All brewing eyes will be firmly fixed on Germany after today's announcement that Carlsberg has made a takeover offer for one of the country's leading brewers, Holsten.
It could prove to be one of the most contentious acquisitions in the brewing industry for many years.
Carlsberg was known to be on the look out for takeover targets. But the acquisition has still come as a shock, given that Holsten announced in December it had abandoned its strategic search for a buyer.
The acquisition will no doubt divide opinion among Carlsberg's investors. Despite a reasonable price tag for a leading brewer in Europe's largest beer market, the Danish brewer is buying into a market in decline.
To make matters worse, Germany remains extremely fragmented, even after the recent round of consolidation that has preceded this deal. There are roughly 1,660 breweries in the European Union. Nearly 1,300 of those are in Germany, and more than half of those have an annual production capacity of only 5,000 hectoliters.
To make the situation even more complicated, the structure of the deal has already come in for criticism, with one report arguing that Carlsberg's plan to sell off around half of Holsten's assets makes this a half-hearted effort.
In Dow Jones's "The Sceptic" column, the author writes: "If Carlsberg ever wanted to compete head to head with rival Interbrew in Europe's biggest beer market, it probably just blew its chance."
The purchase of Holsten could have given the Danish brewery the opportunity to take second place in Germany. But by selling two of the company's top brands Koenig and Licher, Carlsberg has settled for 5th place.
It appears instead that Carlsberg intends to use Holsten's distribution to grow its flagship brands Carlsberg and Tuborg organically. How the German market – notorious for its domestic loyalties - will take to these foreign brews remains to be seen.

The Power of Empathy: A Practical Guide to Creating Intimacy, Self-Understanding,and Lasting Love
by Arthur P. Ciaramicoli (Goodreads Author), Katherine Ketcham
Empathy, an innate human capacity that gives us the ability to understand the unique experiences of another person, is the most overlooked component of relationships. By allowing us to connect with one another on a meaningful and fulfilling level, it "can help and heal us all. This excellent book shows you how" (Edward Hallowell, M.D., author of Connect). Using a practical...more

I enjoyed reading this book and think it's a good overview on what empathy is, and how it is the best bridge between people to strengthen relationships and create lasting intimacy. As I finished it, however, I realized that I had been hoping for more practical instructions on how to start practicing empathic responses. I feel like I understand a lot more than I did before I read this book, but I need more information on how to apply these ideas into my daily interactions with other people.
May 06, 2014 Cathy rated it 4 of 5 stars
There's a lot of wisdom in this book. I read it in a rather fragmented manner, during a period of time when I was having lots of medical appointments, and it helped keep my attention on things other than myself and how I was feeling. Unfortunately you can't "get" empathy from just reading a book, but this has lots of good information, inspiration, and suggestions on how to do the hard work. I liked this book so much that I'll return this copy to the friend who lent it to me and buy a copy for my...more

Very good and comprehensive overview of empathy in all aspects of our lives. There were some parts that confused me a bit (how everyone had failed saving the brother from suicide, yet the author goes on and on about how empathic their dad is - but doesn't explain the contradiction there; also a few short examples were thrown in here and there without seeming to be relevant to the point being made). It also seemed as though empathy was used to cover/substitute for every other emotion out there (l...more

so far i am really having trouble getting into the book it is good its just not keeping my attition like i hoped it would.... I made it to the second paet of the book and it is somewhat better it shows you more on how to put more Empathy in you life. I think the reason I'm not as into it as I thought I would be is because I did't know when I first picked it up I would be reading more about him and his clients and family then how to try and put Empathy in everyday works but then again from readin...more
Oct 23, 2013 Robert Hudder rated it 2 of 5 stars
Was looking for something to help me with figuring out when to be empathetic and when not to. Hey, I have attachment issues and part of my issue is knowing when is it okay to share and when is it okay to ask, etc.
So, this did posit a framework and a rationale. The question is whether that is enough to give me more than just pause for thought. I think that this coupled with a bunch of other stuff I am doing may help. Once again, it is just another tool to have in the tool box.

This book is great for anyone looking to have deeper relationships. From married couple to leaders. A great book on setting your personal interests aside and focusing on the feelings and needs of others.

As someone who is not naturally inclined to empathy, this book helped to expand my mind to those around me and offered practical daily tips for increasing my connection to those around me.

For the first time ever in "Biggest Loser" history, the NBC series will begin airing eliminated contestant makeover segments on Monday, January 28 (8-10 p.m. ET), celebrating the impressive transformations of players who have gone home, captured at a fun, glamorous photo shoot held halfway through season 14.
Most of the eliminated contestants never make it to the popular "Biggest Loser" makeover episode each season. But now, many of those contestants are getting glammed up for their own "makeover" photo shoots, celebrating just how far they've come since leaving the ranch. Beyond the "where are they now" segments that will continue for each eliminated contestant, the transformation segments will air in the first half hour of each "Biggest Loser" episode, with a different eliminated contestant featured every week showing off their new slimmer selves in stylish new clothes.
The January 28 episode will also feature contestants learning to make healthy food choices on a limited budget, a challenge faced by many Americans. The week kicks off with The Players returning from a workout at the ranch, only to find that the kitchen and refrigerators have been emptied of food. Tasked with trying to affordably stock the kitchen with a week's worth of healthy food, the contestants race against time at a grocery to make healthy purchases within their budget. Chef Devin Alexander also stops by to teach them how to eat healthy on a budget, whipping up a delicious and affordable dish that can feed a family of four for just $12.
Later, one contestant struggles to keep trying her best despite weight loss setbacks, while Dr. H and one of the trainers help a contestant realize the importance of addressing the emotional issues that contributed to his weight gain. Trainers Bob, Jillian and Dolvett get an update via skype with kid participants Biingo, Lindsay and Sunny, continuing to keep them motivated, and then a swimming challenge puts The Players to the test as they compete for one of the most coveted prizes of all. Finally, a tearful elimination sends another player home.
"The Biggest Loser: Challenge America" is a production of Shine America, 25/7 Productions and 3 Ball Productions. Ben Silverman, Dave Broome, Lisa Hennessy, Eden Gaha, Paul Franklin, JD Roth and Todd A. Nelson are the executive producers.

Company is expected to announce a product competing with Quantcast, comScore, and others, but may have catching up to do.
Google is expected to detail a new audience planning and measurement initiative today at an Advertising Research Foundation event in New York. The new platform's capabilities are likely to include Web site audience measurement, as well as demographic tools that can compare audiences and make media planning recommendations based on an advertiser's goals.
The anticipated news comes just three days after Google unveiled a new audience measurement service that leverages a range of data feeds, including Google Toolbar information and participating Google Analytics sites. That new offering, called Google Trends for Websites, may be part of the company's announcement today.
However, if the robustness of that product is any indication, Google has some catching up to do before it can contend with the likes of comScore, Nielsen, Quantcast and Compete.
"There's no direct comparison [to competing services]," said David Smith, CEO and president of media agency Mediasmith. "They're doing daily unique visitors whereas most other resources look at monthly unique visitors."
While he noted the traffic counts reported on Google Trends for Websites do match up to other services, Smith added, "They've got a long way to go versus a Quantcast, which gives demographic information."
A larger question is whether marketers will want to source their audience data with the company that operates a major ad platform where that data will inform their ad purchasing decisions.
Quantcast CEO Konrad Feldman said the company's independent measurement system should have important differences from Google's platform. "Google controls an extensive data platform, and the market must ask the question if this new product is simply intended to help Google sell inventory and a broader set of controlled services."
The new product may carry the name AdPlanner, according to a New York Times report late yesterday citing an unnamed source. That article said the offering would combine Web site audience data with searches and third-party data to pinpoint a Web site's audience demographics.
Google declined to speak to ClickZ News about the impending announcement.
Google's plans were trumpeted against the company's wishes last week. In an e-mail and Web update to attendees and would-be attendees of ARF's Measurement 3.0 conference, the group wrote, "Wayne Lin, Google Business Product Manager, will introduce Google's latest initiative in Internet audience measurement."
The posting was later removed.

Adam Dunn, 34, calls it a career
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Adam Dunn trekked 14 seasons and 2,001 games just to get to the postseason. But when his one and only playoff chance arrived Tuesday, he never got off the bench, and afterward he said he will retire.
The Oakland Athletics designated hitter, 34, told ESPN's Pedro Gomez that he has played his final game.
"I guess the computer got me," Dunn said, referring to the A's "Moneyball" tactics.

Finishing a Masterpiece and Getting it on the Shelves
(how to get a book published)
Writing a book is a monumental task in itself. The process is long, drawn out and grueling. Even if you thoroughly enjoy writing and writing on the same subject for an extended period of time, you will no doubt be exhausted by the writing of a book. Getting that book published, however, will take even more time and effort than producing the thing in the first place. Are you thinking about writing a book? Have you already written one and now are just wondering how to get a book published? If you are, read on. Here are a few tips on how to get from the starting line to triumphantly crossing the finish line.
Writing that Book
When starting out writing your book, before you are ready to consider how to get a book published, you may already feel daunted. To write a successful book you need to start out with some original thought. You probably have plenty of originality, but you may have trouble getting your ideas into a coherent flow of information that will be digestible by the general public. The first step is to create a book skeleton. You need to organize your thoughts into a progression of chapters.
If your book will be non-fiction, start with a table of contents. Write chapter headings and sub-headings. You will automatically know that you?ll need an introductory chapter, but you should probably leave the content of your introduction for the last step. Organize your chapters so that they build upon one another. The more headings that you can brainstorm to begin with, the easier it will be to fill in your book with a series of short articles that flow into one another.
If your writing will be fiction, you will need more of a storyboard. You will need to create cause and effect as well as character sketches. To make your story coherent your characters will need events to react to. Their reactions should become predictable as your readers get into the story. You may need to create some situations for your characters just for the purpose of introducing their traits to the reader.
These are very general guidelines about how to begin constructing your book. The actual process will be much more involved as you move closer to finding out how to get a book published. Even after you are finished with the bulk of the content, your goal is still a ways off into the future.
Getting to Print
The next step in how to get a book published is finding a publisher. There are resources at your local library that will let you know who will be the best candidate for publishing the kind of writing that you do. After a series of queries and correspondence with the potential publishers you may get an invitation to send your manuscript. Then the work begins.
A publisher is very experienced in finding books that are marketable. He knows what it will take to get your book to sell. Don?t be offended when his editors tears your writing apart. If they are doing that, you can enjoy the fact that you are on the road to a published book. Expect to enter into a close relationship of compromise and change with the editor as you rework and rework what you have already so painstakingly written. When you are finished you will have a readable and clean and correct manuscript ready for print.
The road to getting a book published is a long one, but well worth the effort. Trust yourself, and trust the publisher to create a beautiful masterpiece. Don?t be discouraged if several publishers are not interested in your book. You may have to just keep the first few for yourself, and then again, they may eventually get accepted. Good luck and enjoy the process.
Let your Resume Speak Volumes for that Next Big Job Before you even get through the door of any job interview, there is already one document that has done the talking for you ? your resume. A good resume can mean the difference between getting the call of the interview and waiting by phone, and a well written, thoughtful resume can make you stand out over and above other applications with similar skills and work experience. Let your resume give you the edge on that next big job by following a few simple tips. When you sit down to write your resume, you need to plan it out before you start typing. There are two main formats for a resume: the chronological format, in which you simply list your job history, starting with your most recent or current job and moving backwards, and the functional format, in which you highlight your skills and experience rather than specific jobs and specific employers. The chronological format is definitely the most common, and many employers prefer this kind of resume, but choose the format this is going to show off your skills in the best light. If your work history is a choppy and a chronological format resume would only draw attention to that, use the functional format. The key is to choose the format that will give you the best chance of getting noticed for the job and to stick with the format throughout your resume. No matter which resume format you choose to use, the top of your resume should always include your name, contact information and work objectives. Name and contact information is pretty straight forward, although experts do recommend that if you have a ?gender neutral? name that you include a helpful ?Mr.? or ?Ms? to clear up any confusion. Your work objectives should be your career goals. For instance, if you want to manage a small team of sales people, then say that, so your potential employers know that you are moving in a certain direction with your career and not simply apply for jobs willy-nilly. After your work objective comes your work experience. List your jobs in reverse chronological order. Instead of simply creating a bullet pointed list your work related tasks, look for a way to frame all of your responsibilities so that they sound like you showed leadership and problem solving capabilities. For instance, if you were in charge of keeping the expensive accounts in order, say that you were in charge of troubleshooting monthly expense account records, saving the company hundreds of dollars every month. If you have a few blips in your work history, be clear about what you were doing in the downtime. If you were raising children, traveling, or in school, say that you were. If you weren?t really doing anything, put as positive a spin on things as you can without lying. Never leave gaps in your work history unaddressed on your resume. After your work history, it is time to list your education credentials. If you didn?t finish a degree, say how much college work you completed and highlight any coursework relevant to the job. If your college degree or post grad work is in progress, say when you expect to be finished. This is another place where gaps matter. If there is a gap in your education history, again say what you were doing in that time, referring back to your work history where appropriate. You can overcome these gaps as long as you don?t pretend that they don?t exist. Round out your resume by listing any awards and professional memberships you may hold. Don?t get into your hobbies unless they are specifically related to the position for which you are applying. Personal details like religion and race have no place on your resume and you are not required to disclose your age. Instead, let your experience do the talking.
US Copyright Lawyer What can a US Copyright Lawyer Do for You that Others Can?t? First a US copyright lawyer can help anyone that is in the United States, they know the laws of the land and the best ways to fight them. A US Copyright Lawyer is here to protect you. That?s right I said YOU, not the neighbor down the road, or someone that lives in the next country but YOU. A US copyright lawyer is there to help you actually file a copyright, advise you and to help you get back what was once yours and sue someone. If you are an American or someone currently living in the United States you will be able to hire a US lawyer, however if you reside out of the states there may be restrictions. In the internet world copyright issues are becoming a big thing and having a US Copyright lawyer behind you can definitely help if you need to fight against someone stealing your work. Copyright lawyers must stay current in all the recent rulings dealing with copyright issues, which means they know their job. Don?t just stick with a lawyer you already had because you?ve used them before. They may have been great at your car accident or your divorce but for copyright issues, you need a lawyer that deals with them. A US copyright attorney can also help you in retrieving money even if you never filed the copyright until after it was stolen or online. This can get a bit tricky when it comes time to prove it though, however if you have a good lawyer this shouldn?t be a problem. A US copyright lawyer will be able to help you copyright any work that you may have, it does cost $20 to file a paper to get the copyright on your work. This does not mean that there is a one time fee of $20 and all your work is safe, actually you must do this with all your work. You are paying per piece, but in the long run if you need to sue someone for using your content they can end up paying $35,000. A US copyright lawyer can help you with this if you live in the United States and the case happened in the states, technically they could help even if it happened internationally but things get a bit more expensive when this happens. Your US copyright lawyer may have already dealt with people stealing content, or maybe celebrity pictures. Recently a big name celebrity had her pictures leaked on the internet, she sued the people that were spreading them and it suddenly stopped. All those websites that had the pictures on them were asked politely to take them down since they were copyrighted and they were gone. That?s what a good US copyright lawyer will do; he/she will be able to prove their case because they know the law. They will have to show proof of when something was taken, said, or documented. In the case of pictures, she was able to show that she had the proofs and that there was no agreement for anyone to use them. Copyright laws have been changing since 1976; however it changes as our technology advances. Lawyers and judges know our needs and are learning every day how to protect them and in order to do that laws are passed and the copyright laws are updated. Granted laws may be different in other countries but the chances are if it happens on US soil, the best representative would be a US copyright lawyer because they have been studying ever since law school.
The Many Faces of The Ghostwriting Professional (ghostwriting) Ghostwriting may seem distasteful to some writers, but it is the preferred profession for many writers. Some writers are more satisfied with the act of writing than have their name known by consumers. A ghostwriter is a writer who is paid to write books, articles, stories, and reports that are credited to another person. Ghostwriters have been used by many professionals, including celebrities, executives, and political leader. The writers are usually hired to draft or edit autobiographies, magazine articles, speeches, and other material. The ghostwriter is not always left out; they may sometimes be acknowledged by the author or publisher for assisting in creating the finished product. Ghostwriters have a very important role in the world, and there are many different types of ghostwriters, including nonfiction, fiction, political, medical, blog, and academic writers. Ghostwriters provide an important service to many of their clients. Some people hire ghostwriters to polish and edit a rough draft of their articles and books. If a ghostwriter is used to edit a book or article, most of the language in the finished product will be that of the credited author. Although, some books and articles could not be finished with the help provided by ghostwriting. Typically, ghostwriters are hired to write most of the work, using concepts and stories provided by the author who receives credit. A writer, who writes most or all of the work, will do extensive research on the client or their area of expertise. Ghostwriters always prepare a book or article with input from their client, and the credited authors may provide a basic framework of ideas at the outset, or may provide comments on the final draft of a project. Autobiographies are a common project offered to writers in the field of ghostwriting. When writing an autobiography, ghostwriters typically interview the client, their colleagues, their friends and family, and may also find interviews, articles and video footage relating to the client they are writing for. Ghostwriting may be needed for several reasons and may be needed by many types of people. In most cases, a ghostwriter is needed for a celebrity or public figure who does not have the time, discipline, or writing skills required to write and research an autobiography or other types of books. Publishers to increase the number of books that can be published each year by a well-known author may also recruit the writers. There are many types of ghostwriters, including the nonfiction ghostwriter. In ghostwriting, the nonfiction writer is used by celebrities and public figures that want autobiographies or memoirs published. Nonfiction ghostwriters may also be used to write ?how-to? books, or used to write books for professionals in a certain field. Fiction ghostwriters are another type of ghostwriter, which are usually employed by fiction publishers. Political ghostwriters provide their ghostwriting services to public officials and politicians. These political figures employ ghostwriters to respond to the large volume of correspondence they receive. The writers typically draft response letters for the correspondence that is received. Medical ghostwriters are often hired by pharmaceutical companies to produce papers in medical and scientific journals on the outcomes of medications. Some physicians and scientists from academia may also be paid for the use of their name, which enhances credibility of the study. Many professionals have criticized the use of medical ghostwriting, but it is a common practice that seems to have no decrease in action. A web log or blog ghostwriter is one of the newest types of ghostwriters. Many blog operators use ghostwriters to help generate interest in their blog site. These ghostwriters are hired to post comments to their blog, while posing as others by using pseudonyms. This practice is used to generate more traffic and encourage more real posts. Academic ghostwriters are often used by university and college students, and are hired through essay mills to write entrance essays, term paper, and theses and dissertations. Ghostwriting is not desirable for many writers, but ghostwriters seem to provide a much needed service to the writing community.

StatoilHydro has submitted an application for new production licenses both in the Barents Sea and the Norwegian Sea in the 20th licensing round on the Norwegian continental shelf. The application deadline was Nov. 7.
"In order to clarify the resource base and realize the full potential of the Norwegian continental shelf, it is crucial to have access to new acreage," says Tim Dodson, head of explorations on the Norwegian continental shelf. "
StatoilHydro has made many discoveries, but the size of the finds is still limited.
"Access to acreage which may form the basis of new independent developments is therefore particularly important. StatoilHydro has met all its fixed drilling commitments from the 19th licensing round awarded in the spring of 2006, and we are ready to take on new assignments," says Mr. Dodson.
In the 20th licensing round 79 blocks or parts of blocks were announced, 51 blocks in the Norwegian Sea and 28 in the Barents Sea. Award of new production licenses is scheduled for March/April 2009.

Brand Britain is a Games winner in South Korea as sales soar by £31m
Related Articles
Published: 10 December 2012
The "Olympic effect" is boosting sales at British brands across Asia, months after the closing ceremony, with Korea's biggest department store chain seeing a $50 million (£31 million) rise in UK-firms' sales thanks to the Games.
That's according to the British Embassy in Seoul, where head of UK trade and investment in South Korea, Douglas Barrett, said: "The Union Jack has been flying much more in Seoul. We saw a rapid increase in the number of South Korean businesses asking to partner with UK-focused branding during the Games, and the Olympic effect is still there."
The country's biggest department store chain, Lotte, used the Olympics to promote 16 British brands including Burberry, Daks, Royal Albert Homeware and Lye Cross Farm mature cheddar cheese, Revenue at the stores increased by $50 million during the period, UKTI said. Partly as a result, more UK firms are opening and expanding in Seoul, including Bonnie Baby London, a cashmere baby clothes-maker that is now stocked in Korean shops.
"Brand Britain is hugely successful in South Korea… It's impossible to underestimate the value of London 2012. People saw it, and came away mind-blown," Barrett said. The Olympics had a defining effect on how people think about the UK. It used to be about the English gentleman and heritage values, but the opening ceremony opened everyone's eyes up to modern, multicultural Britain." The UK exported goods and services worth £4 billion to South Korea this year, up 15% on last year. UKTI said traffic to the British Embassy in Seoul's Facebook page more than doubled thanks to the Olympics and contact from members of the Korean public rose 20%.
Some of Britain's biggest exports to the country include whisky, industrial machinery and pharmaceuticals. Tesco has 320 stores there, and Standard Chartered is the largest foreign direct investor in the Korean financial services industry. Engineers Amec, Atkins and Arup have been involved in building there.
The Chancellor announced a £70 million boost to UKTI's budget in last week's Autumn Statement, a 25% rise on the previous year. "How the money is to be allocated has yet to be decided," Barratt, who has 16 staff at UKTI in Seoul, said. "But we were one of the few departments that were winners."

M'sia reopens door for Bangladeshi workers
Publication Date : 02-11-2012
Workers from Bangladesh, banned from entering since 2007, are expected to be making their way to Malaysia as early as January next year.
The Special Cabinet Committee on Foreign Workers and Illegal Immigrants said the applications to recruit them were expected to be opened on December 1.
"The recruitment will be implemented in stages starting with the plantation sector," the committee said in a statement by the home ministry's foreign workers management division.
"It will begin once all procedures in both countries including the recruiting system are ready," it added.
The committee, headed by Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, met in Putrajaya yesterday and discussed the proposed government to government mechanism in recruiting Bangladeshi workers.
The statement added that the Bangladeshi government was positive about sending its people to work in Malaysia.
"The government to government mechanism is different from any previous methods and the Bangladeshi government has also agreed to it in principle. This mechanism will not involve the element of middleman to ensure the smoothness of the recruitment process," the statement said.
"Enforcement and intelligence agencies will also be roped in to ensure public order and security are maintained while at the same time curb human smuggling and transborder crimes."
It also added that to avoid the recurrence of abuse against Bangladeshi workers, every employer would be subjected to strict requirements including providing accommodation for the workers.
On Oct 3, 2007, the Cabinet froze the intake of Bangladesh workers indefinitely due to the numerous problems created by employers and agents.
Separately, Muhyiddin said the public service could be improved by offering services based on the requests and demands of customers who are the stakeholders.
He said this in his speech during the launch of the 17th Public Service Conference at the National Institute of Public Administration (Intan) here yesterday.
At another function in Putrajaya, Muhyiddin presented letters of appointment to seven English language experts.

Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Ray McCallum and Jason Calliste both tallied 13 points as the Detroit Titans registered a 74-59 win over the Milwaukee Panthers in the Horizon League opener at Calihan Hall.
Both McCallum and Calliste shot only 3-of-9 from the floor for the Titans (9-5, 1-0 HL), but the former also cleared seven rebounds and handed out six assists for the hosts as they won their third straight outing. Also scoring in double figures for Detroit were Doug Anderson and Evan Bruinsma with 12 points apiece, followed by Nick Minnerath with 10 and six boards.
The Panthers (4-11, 0-1) were paced by Paris Gulley who erupted for 22 points on 6-of-11 shooting behind the 3-point line, followed by James Haarsma with 11 points as the team bowed for the fifth time in six outings.
Milwaukee led by as many as six points midway through the first half, but after 20 minutes of action the visitors held just a one-point edge at 31-30. Detroit managed to stay close even though the squad didn't make a single trip to the free-throw line.
In the second half that all changed for the Titans as they not only converted 14-of-15 at the charity stripe, they also connected on 50.0 percent from the floor overall in order to run away with the 15-point victory.
In a game that featured five ties and 10 lead changes, the Panthers hurt themselves with 16 turnovers and just 4-of-6 shooting at the free-throw line.
There was quite a bit of hitting on the field at Milan Puskar Stadium last weekend, but almost as much action took place in the streets just outside in the hours following West Virginia's upset of visiting Baylor.

Cleanliness of room, neat landscaping, accessibility to local areas.

Warning: 8P.M. Friday to 8P.M. Saturday, Tennessee border counties
Advisory: 8P.M. Friday to 8P.M. Saturday, Buncombe, Northern Jackson, Graham.
Significant snowfall expected. Dangerous travel.
A state investigation is under way into allegations a 14
year old girl was raped in the aftermath of a Halloween party. According to a Jackson
County search warrant, the young girl reported she and many others underage
drank alcohol at a party at Dillard Excavating in Sylva last weekend. She says
she was raped after leaving the party. Neighbors say they're shocked.
"I've lived in the community 40 years and I knew the
people that owned the building and everything. I can't believe it," says Stan
The allegations were
reported to a School Resource Officer Monday at Smoky Mountain High School.
"Our School Resource Officer immediately started the ball
rolling. Again I was notified immediately as soon as we had concerns for a
student," says Superintendent Mike Murray.
Murray says the sheriff's office was
contacted quickly. The sheriff's office says state Alcohol Law Enforcement is
investigating since a sheriff's office employee might have been involved with
the party.
The search warrant indicates
the 14 year old told a detective she and other underage high school students
had been drinking Jello shots and other alcohol.
An anonymous letter to the media and law enforcement claims adults at the party condoned
immoral behavior including those associated with the sheriff's office.
The letter also says marijuana and sexual activity were
present and encouraged and promoted. And
it says three of the adults present work for the Jackson County Sheriff's Office.
The concerned parent says "I personally find this type of behavior
Alcohol Law Enforcement
agents say the investigation is ongoing, and as of Friday, no charges had been
"We can't do our investigation until they're complete
with theirs. But there will be consequences for students with our school if
they're convicted or charged with things," says Superintendent Murray.
Jackson County
Sheriff's Deputy Josh Yopp responded to the party Saturday night. According
to a dispatch report, after checking out the scene described by a 911 caller as,
"A lot of vehicles coming and going…and they're speeding and
reckless," a dispatcher put in her notes "10-4. They're having a Halloween

Arabic musicians struggle to follow path of Latin pop explosion
Arabic Pop Singer, Fayed Rahbani El Ubazi is not alone in his quest to follow in the footsteps of Latin pop superstars Enrique Iglacias, Jennifer Lopez, and Ricky Martin. El Ubazi, who plays an ancient string instrument known as the Najwakar, is one of many talented Arabic entertainers striving for fame and fortune in the U.S. pop market. Also at the forefront of the Arabic pop movement is the Arabic boy band, 'NKazem Halim. This talented group has not yet achieved mainstream pop acceptance but has managed to attract a loyal following of Arabic groupies.

Fletcher sand-bagging Leafs and their fans
Canadian actress and hockey fan Pamela Anderson, who knows a thing or two about butt ends, once observed: "It's great to be a blonde. With low expectations it's very easy to surprise people."
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Maybe that's what silver-thatched Cliff Fletcher is up to with his lowering of expectations for the Maple Leafs. Fletcher says, in essence, that the Leafs are lacking in the talent that might make them competitive this season. If they were somehow to make the playoffs, he implies, it would be a minor miracle – if they don't, well now, he told you so, didn't he?
This is a fresh twist for the Leafs but hardly anything new in general. Maybe the belittled players will rise to the bait and exceed Fletcher's expectations. Maybe being told not to expect too much from the foot soldiers will stop Leaf fans from calling for the heads of the generals who have created this morass of mediocrity.
Fletcher has the luxury of knowing he will not be around for the long haul – he's done the demolition but someone else will supervise the reconstruction. Any progress will be credited to ... Brian Burke?
For their part, the Argos fell far short of expectations with an inept performance in Don Matthews' latest return to the sidelines. He's a master motivator, all right, but bringing him on board is also PR at its most obvious. Expect change.
The Blue Jays are living up to expectations thanks, in part, to that other throwback, Cito Gaston. He benefits from being remembered for his glory years with the franchise rather than his disappointing ones (there might have been more of the latter than the former, but who's counting?). His singular talent appears to be one that enables his charges to play within, even up to, their limits.
Even, perhaps, to exceed them.
AND FURTHERMORE: "We are what we repeatedly do," Aristotle said. "Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit." ... Those retro jerseys worn by the Argos and Bombers should be placed in a time capsule and returned directly to the 1950s, never to be seen again. ... Without names on their backs, how are casual viewers expected to get to know the players? ... Rather than going back 50 years, how about flashing forward that long? Would Pinball still be smiling? ... The Canadian men's soccer team under Dale Mitchell is playing with its usual overwhelmingly negative approach. Fans might accept the D-first approach if it were to translate into wins or draws, but when it results in loss after loss, why not try something different? ... Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon, known for his flair afoot away from the diamond, has reportedly turned down an invitation to appear on Dancing With the Stars. Pitching in the playoffs, presumably, is more to his liking. ... Eugene Melnyk, owner of the Ottawa Senators, wants to get aboard the same gravy train that MLSE is riding. He's to unveil this week plans to build (with taxpayers' help, naturally) a soccer-only stadium in the Ottawa area and apply for membership in Major League Soccer. ... Listen. Nnnnnnnnn. That's the sound of Mats Sundin making up his mind. ... Fearless prediction: no Ontario team in the CFL playoffs. The rest of Canada might love it, but this is not good for the health and welfare of the league.
