ISSUE: Fiscal Court's revote on government move
OUR VIEW: 'Do-over' was right decision
Hardin Fiscal Court conducted a second meeting to receive public input and allow magistrates an opportunity to recast a vote on the plan to relocate county government offices. Although those in attendance who spoke in opposition will continue to view relocation as the wrong move for county government, Fiscal Court's decision to hold a second meeting certainly was the right decision to make.
ISSUE: Ron Lewis' Congressional papers
OUR VIEW: University uniquely ready for gift
Ron Lewis recently stepped out of his role as retiree and grandfather and briefly returned to the spotlight at Campbellsville University.
ISSUE: Selling home health services
OUR VIEW: A sensible decision
Having weathered rising costs and sinking returns with no relief anticipated, Lincoln Trail District Health Department plans to sell its home health services division.
Since last year, the department has tried to make up financial shortfalls through attrition. But that hasn't made enough impact and the program is looking at a financial loss.
TOPIC: Academic excellence
OUR VIEW: Perfect ACT score, scholarship signs of strong academics
When a pitcher throws a perfect game, it makes national news and is covered around the clock on ESPN.
When a gymnast achieves a perfect 10 on an event in the Olympic Games, the athlete is hailed as a hero.
ISSUE: Things to be proud of
OUR VIEW: Praiseworthy accomplishments
The Radcliff Small Business Alliance's initial meeting exceeded expectations of its optimistic founders. More than 100 people representing locally owned companies gathered last week at Caroline's Alpine Haus to learn more, join up and socialize.
ISSUE: Student work ethic certification
OUR VIEW: HCS program fills a void
One of the most common workforce complaints in businesses of all sizes is deficient work ethic.
In recent years, millennials especially have caught a lot of grief, being accused of lacking job commitment and having weak work habits.
ISSUE: Ethics in government
OUR VIEW: All have much to learn
Former Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner Richie Farmer recently was charged with 42 violations of Kentucky's Code of Ethics. The charges were filed by the Executive Branch Ethics Commission. All together, if the commission determines the violations took place, it can fine Farmer as much as $210,000 and can reprimand him publicly.
ISSUE: Industrial hemp
OUR VIEW: Diversified commercial possibilities
Following a difficult and bumpy road through the legislative process, Gov. Steve Beshear allowed Senate Bill 50 to become law without his signature. With his less-than-enthusiastic concession, commercial cultivation and the potential for a processing industry for industrial hemp stands a step closer to reality in Kentucky.
ISSUE: Distracted driving
OUR VIEW: Stay focused on the road
April is National Distracted Driving Month. Evidently, having a whole month to become aware of something that should be at the top of our minds every day is needed.
All too many lives are lost every year due to "lack of attention" and it needs to stop. As a society, we should have zero tolerance for motorists who can't seem to resist multi-tasking while driving.
ISSUE: Local celebrations
OUR VIEW: A lot of reasons to be happy here
People who have basements or rooms filled with outdated or unused televisions or electronics now have a place to dispose of them for free, thanks to Hardin County government and sponsors of the annual electronic scrap recycling day.
The county's fourth annual event is from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 27 at the AGC Automotive Americas plant at Leitchfield and Ring roads.

A legal advocacy group advised by Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor in the 1980s actively opposed conservative Robert H. Bork's nomination to the high court calling him a "threat" to the "civil rights of the Latino community."
The Senate went on to reject President Reagan's nominee in 1987.
The revelation is included in 350 pages of documents the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund delivered to the senators late Tuesday evening.
Judge Sotomayor worked for PRLDEF in various capacities from 1980 until she became a federal judge in 1992, spending most of her time as a board member.
The documents, which the group's lawyers have said include relevant information about Judge Sotomayor's time there, also show the fund did legal work for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, known as ACORN. During the 2008 presidential election, ACORN came under fire after allegations of voter registration fraud.
Now called LatinoJustice PRLDEF, the group also has supported legalized abortion and called the death penalty racist in previously released documents.
"A cursory look at the limited material now in our possession raises several red flags, including a link between PRLDEF and ACORN, as well as information indicating Judge Sotomayor's deeper-than-previously thought involvement in developing the legal positions of the organization," said Stephen Boyd, spokesman for the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Jeff Sessions.
Judge Sotomayor's supporters have said PRLDEF, which litigates on behalf of the Hispanic community, is no more extreme than other mainstream civil rights groups.
"The Puerto Rican Legal Defense Fund is a respected civil rights organization, modeled on the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, that promotes equal opportunity," said White House spokesman Ben LaBolt.
Mr. LaBolt also said it was a stretch to say Judge Sotomayor crafted PRLDEF policy.
"Documents that Judge Sotomayor did not write, review or approve - many of them more than two decades old - are irrelevant to her nomination," Mr. LaBolt said.
Questions about how potential justices would rule on hot-button social issues are often tough for the candidates and the lawmakers vetting their nominations. Supreme Court candidates - and other judicial nominees - do not typically answer directly whether they oppose abortion or support gun control because judges are bound by the Constitution, existing and previous court decisions.
Still, much of the confirmation process is focused on interpreting the candidate's previous statements and work.
Judge Sotomayor's work for the Hispanic advocacy group has recently become a target for Republican lawmakers preparing for her confirmation hearings set to begin July 13. If confirmed, she would become the first Hispanic woman to sit on the bench, replacing Justice David H. Souter, who retired from the bench Monday.
Back in 1987, Judge Bork's nomination to the court was so beaten back by Democratic senators, including then-Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. and Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, that being rejected for confirmation to the high court came to be referred to as being "borked."

CALGARY -- Eight years ago Dennis Wideman's only goal was to stay in the NHL for an entire season with the St. Louis Blues.
He's since managed that and then some.
Just a week shy of the anniversary of his first NHL game, Wideman will suit up for career game No. 600 when the Calgary Flames host the Dallas Stars at Scotiabank Saddledome on Thursday.
"I was hoping I would get a full year in when I first came in," said the Flames defenseman, who was 22 when he made his NHL debut. "That was about it. That was my goal at that point, just trying to stay, let alone play as many as I have now."

Leipzig. From July 30 till August 3 2012, the 16th International Conference on Clouds and Precipitation (ICCP 2012) will take place at the main lecture hall building of the University of Leipzig.
The conference is hosted by the Leibniz-Institute for Tropospheric Research (IfT) and the Leipzig Institute for Meteorology (LIM) of the University of Leipzig. Both institutes are connected through a long lasting intensive cooperation, which now also manifests in the joint organization of this year's conference.
The conference at which cloud experts from all around the world meet every four years will take place in Germany only for the second time, following 1988. The ICCP is the most important and largest cloud and precipitation conference worldwide. Around 500 participants from 37 different countries will be welcomed in Leipzig to present around 650 different contributions. The Leipzig conference is expected to become the largest of all the cloud and precipitation conferences that took place so far.
The large number of participants reflects the importance of cloud research in dealing with climate change. Clouds play a crucial role in weather and climate processes and have an influence on the Earth' radiation budget. A better understanding of clouds and processes related to them is essential to improve weather forecasting (particularly precipitation) and to better quantify the present and future climate change. The importance of clouds for climate was highlighted in the last report of the IPCC (International Panel on Climate Change) by identifying them as the largest uncertainty in climate prediction.
In particular, topics that are dealt with at the conference include basic cloud- and precipitation-physics, genesis of different kinds of clouds, the influence of ice nuclei and cloud condensation nuclei for the development of clouds and also cloud chemistry. Currently used and newly developed measurement techniques will also be discussed. A

The EU Aid Volunteers initiative brings together volunteers and organisations from different countries, in joint action, providing practical support in the provision of humanitarian aid and contributing to the strengthening of local capacity and resilience of disaster-affected communities.
Through the initiative 4 000 EU citizens will get the opportunity to do humanitarian work and help people caught up in crises. The initiative will also provide capacity building for 4 400 people from non-EU, disaster-affected countries and 10 000 online volunteering opportunities.
The EU Aid Volunteers initiative will:
- Offer opportunities to show solidarity with those who most need it,
- Provide professional support by well-prepared volunteers to people in need,
- Benefit local organisations with capacity-building measures.
Trained and well-prepared volunteers will be deployed as EU Aid Volunteers in humanitarian projects worldwide starting from 2016. Apprenticeship placements in the offices of European humanitarian organisation will be offered to provide additional training where needed.
An EU Aid Volunteers networking platform will be established to facilitate interaction and partnership building, dissemination of information, the exchange of good practices during and after deployment,
The initiative will also offer online volunteering opportunities for people both inside and outside Europe, to give support to people already in the field. It will also provide capacity building for local staff and volunteers of organisations in countries hit by disasters where the EU Aid Volunteers will work.
A number of pilot projects were launched by the European Commission's partners between 2011 and 2014 in order to gain real experience during the preparation phase of the EU Aid Volunteers initiative. Following the pilot phase and the establishment of the legal base of the fully fledged EU Aid Volunteers initiative is completed.
The first call for proposals for the deployment of EU Aid Volunteers and capacity-building for implementing organisations is now open and accepting project proposals from interested humanitarian organisations. . For more information and other funding opportunities, visit the EU Aid Volunteers funding page.
The EU Aid Volunteers initiative is managed by the Commission's Education, Audio-visual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).

Robin Hood Foundation's Board of Directors: Stop Denying Poor Sandy Victims 121212 Donations
Billions' been raised in the name of Sandy Victims, but the poorest, people of color and some of the hardest hit are being denied those donations. This petition demands to know WHY?
Five Months after the muddy waters of Sandy have receded left in its wake are the poorest and most needy residents in the Rockaways who are still looking for clarity and understanding as to why help never comes—even though billions have been raised in their names.
I ask you to join the Action Center in being a voice for the voiceless; seeing that the suffering and struggling poor Rockaway residents of color find justice in the equitable distribution of post-Sandy funding.
Although billions of dollars have been raised to provide aid to the communities and residents hit the hardest by Sandy, their poor black neighbors in the Rockaway's have seen little to none of this.
Help us ask those who have raised money in their names, "why"?
Sign this petition and ask the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Robin Hood Foundation, Barry Sternlicht, why they would send almost $500,000 to the wealthiest neighborhoods in the Rockaways, but refuse to send the same to the poor blacks living in Zip-codes 11692 and 11693.
Sign this petition and send a tweet to Alicia Keys and Kanye West and ask them if they know where the dollars they raised are going and where they are not.
Fill the email boxes of those holding the funds with the questions of why they would rather fund pop-up groups instead of stable groups who have been working in the community for years.
Ask them why the only groups they fund are groups run by folks who are not of color, while those who are, are denied.
The Robin Hood Board of Directors is meeting this week, send them a message. Let them know the world is watching.
Ask the Robin Hood Board of Directors why they refuse to even entertain a proposal brought to the relief committee by a group of color?
Why these proposals can't make it past the front door, but pop-ups formed since Sandy and run by friends and cronies are handed out checks like they are candy.
Sign the petition now and let them and the folks who raised the money know it can't be business as usual while our folks are suffering. Let them know the world is watching.
Sign and let them know, that we know. While funds and resources freely flow into the wealthier Rockaway cul-de-sacs of Breezy Point (zip code 11697) and Bell Harbor (zip code 11694)---where the mean income is $77,303; a huge disparity exists in the funding for the Rockaways.
Demographics At a Glance
Zip Code 11697 11694 11693 11692
City Breezy Point Belle Harbor Hammel Arverne
Median Income $68,999 $85,608 $37,248 $29,059
% Minority .88% 13.77% 42.87% 84.4%
Our poor people of color are living in 3rd world conditions, in the heart of America, in one of its most affluent cities in America. How can this be allowed to continue?
As if living 200% below the poverty level pre-Sandy were not enough, these residents residing in zip-codes 11692, and 11693, have suffered for months in the dead of winter with no heat and now are living in mold-infested apartments--only adding insult to injury. Robin Hood refused to even entertain our mold clean up plan which would be overseen by enviormental scientests. Mold-related health conditions are now rampant; disproportionately striking the most vulnerable of the Rockaway population, the youngest children and the elderly.
Hold them accountable for what they do and how they treat us… The Rockaway residents, our clients for more than twelve years, have been automatically and systematically denied federal aid. And now, most recently, the Robin Hood foundation which was selected to allocate the funds raised from the '12.12.12' concert that was held in name of the Sandy victims is turning its back? Do the entertainers who raised the money know?.
As does any experienced nonprofit, the Action Center's staff conducted an in-depth analysis of Robin Hood's funding allocations prior to applying to the foundation. Our analysis found that Robin Hood's funding history included funds in the amount of close $500,000 for the wealthier zip codes of 11697, 11694. The zip codes of 11692 and 11693, the poorest residents and our focus area, had received a mere $75,000 that was allocated to a group that has no involvement with the minority population that we serve. The Action Center's proposal, if funded, would have brought a total of approximately $500,000 to the zip codes of 11692 and 11693. However, the Action Center was informed that our proposal would not be presented to Robin Hood's Sandy Board of Directors. Look at the video and you judge if the needs in this community are unfounded.
As you can imagine, the hope for help beyond that of the Action Center has been extinguished. Residents are sinking into dark depressions and continue to turn to us with hopeless eyes to see if we can further assist them in understanding how they are supposed to survive.
Although the Action Center continues and has always hoped to improve life in the Rockaway community, we are not seeking your support to overcome the inherent barriers to life pre-Sandy—rather, we are seeking to ease the additional suffering that has been inflicted on our community following Sandy.
These residents have always felt that they could not depend on anyone but themselves; please let them know that other people do acknowledge and care about their suffering and believe that they should receive, at a minimum, equitable assistance in recovering from Sandy when compared with their wealthier neighbors on the Rockaway peninsula.
Specifically, I seek explanations as to why:
1. The Action Center's Mold Remediation proposal, which featured the use of a Public Health Administrator to conduct inspections and the certification of an Environmental Scientist, was never presented to the Robin Hood Board of Directors when other programs were funded without these critical elements.
2. Why was the Action Center's Mental Health Services and Field Canvassing proposal not presented to the Board of Directors, instead an offer was made to only fund less than $67,000 for the hiring of two full time social workers? Further, why was the Action Center only offered less than $67,000 for the hiring of two full time social workers that would serve 12,000 residents over the course of the six month period in zip codes 11692 and 11693 when the Achiezer Community Resource Center received $200,000 to "add one or two social workers and case managers to help families with their mental health, medical, insurance and financial needs caused by Sandy, as well as emergency cash assistance to families in need."?
3. Why has funding repetitively gone to "pop-up" organizations that were not in existence prior to Sandy and to organizations not run by established Rockaway organizations, such as the Action Center which has a proven track record as a community service leader and is trusted by the community members in the Rockaway community?
Please take action today, the poorest Rockaway residents deserve to know that they have not been forgotten and need an explanation in writing from the Robin Hood Board of Directors.

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Four years after their 12-year-old daughter was impregnated by a 24-year-old man who took her for a secret abortion to cover up his crime, a San Bernardino County couple found out what happened and reported it to police. Without the parents' involvement, the abuser would never have been brought to justice.
Sgt. Tom Yarrington, the police officer who investigated the case, says if California had a law requiring abortion providers to inform families when underage girls seek their services, the girl in this case would have been spared further abuse. "The biggest difference is that the abuse would have ceased immediately," Yarrington said in a published interview. "Second of all, she would have been receiving counseling immediately, which is going to help her through the healing process and allow her to move on with her life."
Yarrington has spent 17 years working as a police officer in San Bernardino County, and has investigated more than 1000 sex crime cases, most involving minors. The veteran investigator said family notification for minors seeking abortions would help both law enforcement and victims. "It give us better investigative leads, allows us to locate more victims and allows us to provide earlier intervention-not only to provide the help that the child needs to make it through this time, but it is also going to assist us in stopping further abuse from occurring to that victim and, potentially, other victims."
"If we can't help right away because the information isn't disclosed and she has to carry that burden on her own, that's a very difficult, heavy burden for someone to carry," said Yarrington. "A 12-year-old is not mentally prepared to deal with not only the medical complications that can occur, but the mental anguish."
In Santa Clara County, a similar case came to light in August in a

Rihanna, Britney, Christina and Katy are very clearly inspired by Madonna and admit it. They have never ripped her off or directly copied her. Gaga however has clearly lifted several of Madonna's signature themes mainly from the 1989 to 1993 era and tried to pass them off as her own ''art''. Thats the difference between the others and Gaga. Not that I am trying to start a Gaga war but the difference is clear. That is why Gaga is always singled out. Being inspired is one thing. Copying is another.
As for Beyonce. She is NOTHING like Madonna. They are poles apart as artists. But on the subject of Beyonce she has had more claims of plagiarism and dodgy song writing credits than Madonna ever has. At least Madonna has a distinctive writing style so even as producers come and go you can tell she has a huge imput in the lyrics of her songs.

Monroe was the first blonde bombshell to strike a cord with women as well as men. She was America's first real Sweetheart. That was why she became such a box office hit for Fox.
Madonna may not have been the only woman to cut new ground but she was the woman who reshaped pop music. I don't think thats overstating anything. You just have to look at the charts right now to see who the idol of Rihanna, Gaga, Katy, Britney is. Again thats a legacy.

RS Feva Inland Championship 2008
The RS Feva Inland Championship and final Fat Face Grand Prix Circuit event took place over the weekend of 25/26 October. Alice Kent and Lucy Childs kept the coolest head (just) to take the overall win by a single point from Hugo Jones-Warner and James Poyner. Alex and Steffi Orton were only one point further back! Top 3 covered by two points.
On Saturday the Race Officer, Andrew Weeden and his team managed to get the entire fleet afloat just in time for a steady 25 knots with gusts of 37 to settle in over Draycote Water. Inevitably there were the experienced thrill seekers launching themselves off waves and proving that Fevas can indeed fly even if only for short periods of time. Racing though was temporarily postponed until later in the afternoon.
Race 1 proved to be the only race of the day.
Eilidh McIntyre/Vikki Payne carried on where they left off last weekend breaking kit! A gut busting 5 lap windward/leeward saw them break their pole on the second lap. They still held on for 2nd though behind the awesomely quick Hugo Jones-Warner/James Poyner combo. Again as per last weekend the 3rd boat reveling in the conditions was Tim Norris sailing for the last time with brother James in a Feva – roll on Mollie! As predicted Alice Kent/Lucy Childs were still sweeping the cobwebs out of the boat back in 14th (so that was their first discard then! -6 races 4 to count).
Day 2 was going to be even more exhausting as the race team were determined to get the full series in – 5 races to go then! The drizzle cleared leaving a great 12-15 knot average wind. Plenty to let the stomach muscles groan. 3 races were held back to back followed by a short break for refueling and then a last push for the season with another 2 to finish off. Only the last race was shortened at all to some 30 minutes so you can guess at the sleep enjoyed in cars on the way
A battle royal was to be played out with Alice Kent/Lucy Childs and Hugo Jones-Warner as the main protagonists. Alice/Lucy came back well from the previous day with a 4,1,2 whilst Hugo/James set about their task with 7,4,1. Alex and Steffi Orton weren't going to keep quiet though and chipped in with their own 2,2,5. Peter/James Curtis were the experienced team on the block and even they suffered if the start wasn't spot on and notched up a score in the teens in the second race.
Elsewhere Cathy Lear/Francine Counsell were also having a great time and local heroes Robert/Emma Loveridge were keeping everyone honest. Sadly Eilidh/Vikki were having a bit of a mare. Ruth/Tess Allan weren't about to be bossed about and Libby Watkins/Abbie Heathcote rediscovered their training form with a new, more relaxed attitude.
So it came down to the final two races. Alice/Lucy kept the coolest head(just) to take the overall win by a single point from Hugo/James. Alex/Steffi were only one point further back! Top 3 covered by 2 points. Peter/James Curtis kept cosy 6 points further back whilst Cathy/Francine capped a fantastic day for Oakham School and Rutland Water by claiming 5th. Robert/Emma Loveridge finished a fantastic year for Draycote Water in being first home boat in 6th. They took the main Fat Face prizes whilst further 'traveller' awards went to awkins/Thomas, 'Most improved over the weekend' to Watkins/Heathcote, 'Best endurance and determination on windy Saturday' to Summers/Peel,
The closeness of the racing is epitomized by the 7th to 12th finishes with all 6 boats covered by 5 points With 2 boats from Restronguet, 2 from deepest Yorkshire, 2 from Kent, a dash from West Mersea and the usual from the Chichester Harbour areas (apologies to Queen Mary, Hill Head, Shropshire, Felixstowe, etc) this event is truly national. Thus many thanks to the hosts for their huge effort to make it all so fun and efficient for all.
The RS Feva & Tera fleet who also held their Inland Champs at the weekend contributed to a Sail4cancer raffle. Over £250 was raised on behalf of former Feva sailor Holly Tucker who is bravely battling leukemia. Many thanks to all who contributed & well done to Rebecca Anthony who won a days coaching from Jonathan Lewis (National Squad Coach no less!). Thank you all.

About Plastic Look and Feel
The Plastic look and feel family is very well known and widely used among Java community. That said I am often disappointed to see some programmers plug it into their UI without taking a look at the available options. Let's take a look at a sample, rather bad looking Swing application:
"Yiech!" And you're right. One way to fix this UI is to change the look and feel. Now, it has many other issues, like colors and icons, but we won't bother about this today. I know Plastic looks great and I also know a lot of people like. Best of all it's free and open source, so why not use it? Here we go:
PlasticLookAndFeel laf = new PlasticXPLookAndFeel();
PlasticLookAndFeel.setMyCurrentTheme(new ExperienceBlue());
Note I chose a theme for the look and feel because, after all, I really do care about the result:
Ah much better, isn't it? Many programmers would just stop here and go back to more interesting stuff. Yet we can go a bit further with three extra lines of code:
As a result, Plastic applies a different style to both the menu bar and the tool bar, giving them a nice, modern rounded look:
I also use Swing's
JToolBar.isRollover property to hide buttons borders. Even if the result is better looking, both bars show unecessary borders which clutter the screen, mainly on the left and right of the frame. I'll let you get rid of them as an exercise :) And we can go even further by adding drop shadows to popup menus:
Those menus integrate nicely with Windows XP:
Finally you might not like tabs look. The last feature of Plastic I'm about to use let you give tabs an Eclipse look:
The only problem is that selected tab is a bit difficult to spot when there are many tabs:
Take a look at
PlasticLookAndFeel and
Options classes and try all the options. You might find nice things for your UI :)

Dr Sir David Li Kwok-po GBM GBS JP (Chinese: 李國寶; born 13 March 1939, London, England) is a Hong Kong banker and politician. He is the current Chairman and Chief Executive of the Bank of East Asia, and a former member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong and the Executive Council of Hong Kong.
Family background[edit]
The Li family, with roots in Heshan, Guangdong, has long had a prominent position in Hong Kong. David Li's great-grandfather, Li Shek-tang, made his fortune bringing rice to Hong Kong from Vietnam. In 1918, Li's grandfather, Li Koon-chun, along with his great-uncle, founded the Bank of East Asia, the first Chinese-owned bank in the territory.[2] One of his uncles is Simon Li Fook-sean, senior judge who ran in the first election for chief executive in 1996. David's cousin (Simon Li's daughter) is prominent barrister Gladys Li. David's younger brother is Arthur Li, former Secretary for Education and Manpower.
Li was educated at Uppingham School in the United Kingdom. He studied mathematics at Imperial College London, and then studied economics and law at Selwyn College, University of Cambridge.[3]
He received an honorary doctorate in law from the University of Warwick in July 1994 and another one from the University of Hong Kong in March 1996. In November 1996, he received an honorary doctorate of social sciences from Lingnan College.[4] Li joined the Bank of East Asia in 1969, becoming Chief Executive in 1981 and Chairman in 1997.[citation needed]
Political and other positions[edit]
David Li is currently a member of the Legislative Council, elected unopposed in the Finance functional constituency in 2004 and 2008. He is currently Pro-Chancellor of the University of Hong Kong.
From October 2005 until his resignation in February 2008, he was a member of the Executive Council, appointed after renouncing his British citizenship.
Li is married to Penny Li-Poon Kim Tsui (Chinese: 李潘金翠).
Board memberships[edit]
Li is also a director at several Hong Kong listed companies including fixed line phone carrier PCCW, SCMP Group and Hong Kong and Shanghai Hotels. In addition, he is chairman of the Chinese Banks Association Ltd.[5]
Dow Jones insider trading incident[edit]
On 1 May 2007, News Corporation made a public announcement of its bid for Dow Jones & Company. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission filed an initial complaint seven days later naming Wong Kan-king and his wife Charlotte, both residents of Hong Kong, as defendants after its investigation of suspicious share price movements in the run-up to the announcement. The SEC alleged that the couple purchased 415,000 shares through a Merrill Lynch Hong Kong account between from 13 April until 30 April,[6] and had reaped a US$8.2 million profit on disposal following announcement of the bid.[7]
The SEC later filed an amended complaint ("The First Amended Complaint") identifying the source of the information as David Li, who had obtained the information by being a board member of Dow Jones. The SEC alleged that Li had informed his close friend and business associate Michael Leung, who in turn told his daughter and son-in-law. The amended complaint added David Li and Michael Leung as co-defendants and details how Leung traded through the account of his daughter and son-in-law with their assistance.[6][8]
At the end of January 2008, a settlement was reached where Li was ordered to pay an $8.1 million civil penalty, Leung to pay $8.1 million in disgorgement and an $8.1 million penalty; K. K. Wong would pay $40,000 in disgorgement plus prejudgment interest and a $40,000 civil penalty.[6] Li would neither admit nor deny any wrongdoing[8]
Li's integrity is being questioned by Legislators, and corporate gadfly David Webb was the first to put Li under pressure to relinquish his position as a member of both the Legislative and the Executive Councils of Hong Kong because of his implication in the affair.[9] Several other legislators added to the pressure for Li to relinquish his cabinet (Exco) position,[5][10] although there are divergent views on his continued LegCo membership.[11] On 17 February 2008, Li announced his resignation from Exco.[12]
Awards and recognition[edit]
Li was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in the 1991 New Year Honours.[13] In 2001, he was awarded the Gold Bauhinia Star by the government of Hong Kong.
In the 2005 Queen's Birthday Honours, he was made a Knight Bachelor by the United Kingdom for his contributions to British education.[14] He also has honorary doctorates from University of Cambridge, Imperial College[15] and the University of Hong Kong. Li was awarded the Grand Bauhinia Medal in 2007.
