State Report Places Blame on Fresno County in Deadly Pipeline Explosion
A state report is placing the blame on Fresno County in the PG&E pipeline explosion that happened April 17 at the Fresno County Peace Officers gun range in northwest Fresno.
The explosion happened when a county worker was doing some work with a front loader. He was injured, along with two deputies, and eight inmates, one of which later died.
The 259-page report was prepared by a company called Exponent, which was selected by PG&E. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is now leading the direction of the investigation and overseeing it.
The report says, "Our investigation indicates that PG&E line 118b ruptured when it was struck by a front loader that was operating in the area at the time of the incident. The significant gouging, scraping and deformation present at the line 118b rupture location could have only been caused by contact with the front-loader bucket."
Attorney Butch Wagner represents four of the injured inmates. He says there's no question that the front loader came in contact with the pipe, but says that's not the issue.
"[Whether] the pipeline was buried properly--in other words, deep enough and with proper soil compaction," Wagner said.
According to the report, the pipe had enough coverage. But Wagner criticizes that finding.
"I don't know how they could've determined that by looking at the evidence after the explosion because the explosion ripped the ground up, set the ground all over the place," Wagner said.
The investigation is far from over. Legal analyst Charles Magill says he expects all the entities that are being sued will be pointing fingers at each other.
"The logic of it is is to limit their exposure. If it does go to trial, they want to make sure that they're not exposed any more than a small percentage," Magill said.
Magill expects that the inmates' lawyers will be bringing experts of their own.
Wagner says the report doesn't change their perspective of the case because he says additional reports will be filed by all the entities that may show negligence from all the parties that are being sued.
PG&E issued a statement saying, "PG&E continues to cooperate with the CPUC in a timely manner regarding any information about its ongoing investigation. The CPUC is the lead agency reviewing the incident. We want all of our customers to know that calling 811 before you dig is critical."
A trial date has yet to be assigned. Wagner believes a trial date could be set for a year to a year and a half in the future.

Officer Involved Shooting in Atwater Leaves Suspect Dead
A man is dead in an officer involved shooting in Atwater after police say the man rushed at them with a knife, according to Lt. Sammy Joseph with the Atwater Police Department.
The suspect died on scene. He has not been identified.
It happened around 2:19 p.m. Monday after a vehicle pursuit ended on Green Sands Avenue near Augusta Lane in Atwater.
Police say it all began when a witness called police to tell them that the victim, an unidentified woman, told her she was being held against her will. It happened just before noon at a store on the 1800 block of Atwater Blvd.
According to police, the victim contacted the witness as the suspect was inside the store. After the witness called police, she turned around to see the woman inside the suspect's car leaving the store.
Police say the victim's brother then called police saying he saw a man driving with his sister inside the car, and it appeared she was pleading for help.
Police located the driver in the area of Elm and First. Police say the suspect wouldn't pull over, even after police laid spike strips in the road.
The pursuit lasted about 30 minutes, going in and out of Atwater. It ended when police say the suspect hit a curb and his tire went flat on Green Sands Avenue.
"He tried to flee the scene on foot to hop over the wall with a knife in his hand, could not get over the wall, which time he fled. The officer told him to stop. He turned around, made an approach toward the officers with his knife. A taser was deployed, the taser was ineffective, which time he continued to come at the officers, at which time the officer shot the suspect," Joseph said.
Several people witnessed the shooting.
"He tried to hop this wall fence that's right here. He tried to hop the fence, and he couldn't get over," said Edward Kemp, an eyewitness. "He couldn't get over so he turned around, and he started running like towards us. So we kind of like leaned down, but we're still watching. And he got tased, and you see him toss the tasers off of him."
Joseph said when the suspect exited the car, he was bloody from what the victim told police were self-inflicted wounds.
Police are investigating the relationship between the suspect and victim. They say she appeared to be unhurt.
It's unknown how many times the suspect was shot, as the investigation is ongoing.
The Atwater police department is investigating the shooting. The officer involved is now on paid administrative leave for three days, which police say is standard procedure.
Closer look at treatment injured firefighter could receive25-year-old Damien Pereira is still in his second surgery, this one is expected to take seven hours. CAL FIRE says hospital officials are hopeful he'll recover, but say he faces a tough battle. Here's an inside look at some of the therapy he could face.
Boy Dies Before Being Taken Off Life Support
"Jonah is in a better place now and we tried and we tried", says Magali Panduro, Jonah's aunt.
Moments after Jonah Panduro's death, his aunt spoke with us about their journey. She says that Jonah was still reacting to his fathers voice, but that three days ago, doctors at CRMC declared him brain dead.
"It was a horrible accident, when we heard it we couldn't believe it, when we saw him for the first time we couldn't believe it", says Panduro.
It all started on June 28th, Jonah was riding on the tube at the lake, when the metal latch connecting the rope he was being pulled from, broke off and hit his head. he was air lifted to Fresno.
"We're praying and we have faith and that's why I came today to offer some hope and prayers to Lisa", says family friend Christine Vasquez.
Family members tell us that they wanted to keep Jonah on life support, despite the grim prognosis of doctors. We spoke with several lawyers about what rights to parents have, whether or not they can keep their children on life support, if the doctors suggest to take them off.
"Clearly they are going to have more than one expert look over their EEG's to determine if there is any activity and if there is no activity, there is nothing they can do to keep him alive", says legal analyst, attorney Charles Magill.
A year ago, attorney Chris Dolan represented Jahi McMath's case. she was undergoing a routine surgery, when complications put her on life support. Doctors suggested she be allowed to die, but when the family hired Dolan, they were able to transfer Jahi to a long term care facility in New Jersey where she is still alive today.
"Each of the cases, Jahi's case and this arise out of a horrible tragedy and the common factor as to who gets to make the decision of whether or not the child is alive or dead", says Dolan.
We did try reaching out to CRMC about this incident but were told that they had to respect each patients privacy. A Go-Fund-Me page has also been set up to help pay for the families unexpected expenses.
Fireworks stands stir controversy, some want them bannedFirework stands are all over Fresno and Clovis this July and are a popular way for many organizations to raise money. After a close call this fourth, one Clovis man says he wants all fireworks, even legal ones, banned.
Seriously injured firefighter out of surgery SaturdayCAL FIRE has identified 25-year-old Damien Pereira as one of three firefighters injured while fighting a small mountain fire Friday. Crews say the father of one is in pain but has family by his side, saying the drought could've contributed to the danger.
Thousands Attend 26th Annual Selma Fireworks Show
Red, white and blue filled the sky for Selma's annual Independence Day celebration. The city holds the event, now in its 26th year, every year on the 3rd of July.
The fireworks show attracted about 3,000 people.
Juanita Cantu said she comes every year from Madera to catch the show.
"Oh my gosh. This is the best that I've ever seen," Cantu said. "We like the environment, and we just love the people here. Have a lot of fun."
Live music kept the crowd entertained as families gathered bringing their children of all ages.
For many people, attending the fireworks show is a tradition.
"Great time for us to spend time as a family and celebrate Independence Day and remember everything and all the sacrifices people have made around the country," said Emmanuel Mena.
And the main attraction--"Mainly the fireworks and the food," a young boy said.
And what's a celebration without the food.
Vendors catered to the crowds, including these reserve firefighters with the Selma Fire Department. They say it's a good chance to interact with the community they serve."
"Get to know the people and they get to know us. They see us when we go to the fires but we don't really talk to them [there], but out here they come to us and ask questions," said Jose Vargas.
For the Selma community, it's a chance to gather and celebrate what the 4th of July is all about.
"The birth of our nation-- July 4th, 1776," said Rodney Harding with the Selma Kiwanis Club as he sold hand-held flags.
1 Firefighter, 2 Inmates Injured Fighting Fire in Tulare CountyThree people were injured, including a Tulare County Cal Fire firefighter, while fighting a fire near the community of Three Rivers.
Cal Fire officials say the three people were fighting a 2- to 3-acre fire on Case Mountain when a tree fell on them.
The firefighter sustained major injuries and was airlifted to a Fresno hospital.
The inmates suffered minor injuries including a concussion and cuts.
No other information on their conditions has been released at this time.
Cal Fire officials say they will begin an investigation into the incident at "first light."
One injured in accident on Bass Lake this afternoonOne injured in accident on Bass Lake this afternoon.
At 4 p.m. Friday, July 3rd, a woman in her 20s was riding on the front of a boat when she fell off and was pulled under. She was airlifted to CRMC with an injury to her leg.

Fresno Fire Sees Increase in Fire Calls
"It's going to be a record year as far as fire response", says Tony Escobedo, fire battalion chief for fire station 11.
Battalion chief Tony Escobedo works at fire station 11 on the north end of town, he says that crews are extremely busy this summer and year.
"In Fresno we're one of the 5th busiest departments and a matter of fact, some years, including this one, if we were the size of Los Angeles, we'd be busier than they are", says Chief Escobedo.
Last year Fresno crews responded to about 25 hundred fire calls, this year they have already seen more than 14 hundred.
Eric Orong is working his first shift for the department after graduating from the academy, he says that it's been a busy 48 hours.
"It's been pretty busy, we've ran 17 calls in the last 30 or so hours, majority of them were medical aids and we had a large residential fire last night", says Orong.
With the increase in calls crews sirens are constantly sounding.
"The reliability of the system really suffers when you have calls that continue to occur in the same area because you continue to pull from where ever", says fire captain Carl Delap.
The department has also made more that 12,000 thousand ems calls and worked more than 133 fires.
"Obviously the drought, pour maintenance of our homes and we do have a good amount of arsonists in the city as far as copycats or they are just doing it on their own, we have a high level of arsonists in the city and it keeps us rather busy", says Chief Escobedo.
"For some people lighting fires is one way to get their excitement but in the long story it makes our job a little more difficult", says Orong.
If you're going to be setting off fireworks on your street or near your home tomorrow night, crews say you should try watering your lawn before, just in case.

Human Resource Exploitation Training Manual

1 Human Resource Exploitation Training Manual Prohibition Against Using Force The use of force, mental torture, threats, insults, or exposure to unpleasant and inhumane treatment of any kind as an aid to interrogation is prohibited by law, both international and domestic; it is neither authorized nor condoned. The interrogator must never take advantage of the source's weaknesses to the extent that the interrogation involves threats, insults, torture or exposure to unpleasant or inhumane treatment of any kind. Experience indicates that the use of force is not necessary to gain cooperation of sources. Use of force is a poor technique, yields unreliable results, may damage subsequent collection efforts, and can induce the source to say what he thinks the interrogator wants to hear. Additionally, the use of force will probably result in adverse publicity and/or legal action against the interrogator (et. al) when the source is released. However, the use of force is not to be confused with psychological ploys, verbal trickery, or other nonviolent and noncoercive ruses employed by the interrogator in the successful interrogation of reticent or uncooperative sources. Introduction Opening Remarks A. There is nothing mysterious about "questioning". It is no more than obtaining needed information from subjects. These may be prisoners of war, defectors, refugees, illegal immigrants, agents or suspected intelligence agents attempting to operate in your country. B. The art of "questioning" has become controversial in many parts of the world. The is because in many countries, the term "questioning" has been identified with the use of torture to obtain information. Every manual I have read on "questioning" states that information obtained from a suspect under torture is not reliable, that the subject will say whatever he thinks you want to hear just to avoid further punishment. During the Battle of Algiers, the French army used torture to neutralize a terrorist group within a matter of months. Unfortunately, along with the hundreds of terrorists that were arrested and tortured, so were hundreds of innocent civilians. Society simply will not condone this. C. The routine use of torture lowers the moral caliber of the organization that uses it and corrupts those that rely on it as the quick and easy way out. We strongly disagree with this approach and instead emphasize the use of phsychological techniques designed to persuade the subject to want to furnish us with the information we desire. D. Successful "questioning" is based upon a knowledge of the subject matter and upon the use of psychological techniques which are not difficult to understand. We will be discussing two types of techniques, coercive and non-coercive. While we do not stress deplore the use of coercive techniques, we do want to make you aware of them and the proper way to use so that you may avoid them.
2 E. Psychologists have conducted considerable research in many areas that are closely related to coercive "questioning". During this course we will discuss the following topics as they relate to "questioning": 1. Reactions to pain and fear. 2. The effects of debility and isolation 3. Hypnosis and narcosis. Coercive Techniques The Theory of Coercion A. The purpose of all coercive techniques is to induce psychological regression in the subject by bringing a superior outside force to bear on his will to resist. Regression is basically a loss of autonomy, a reversion to an earlier behavior level. As the subject regresses, his learned personality traits fall away in reverse chronological order. He begins to lose the capacity to carry out the highest creative activities, to deal with complex situations, to copy with stressful interpersonal relationships, or to cope with repeated frustrations. The use of most coercive techniques is improper and violates laws. B. There are three major principles involved in the successful application of coercive techniques: Debility (Physical Weakness) For centuries "questioners" have employed various methods of inducing physical weaknesses: prolonged constraint; prolonged exertion; extremes of heat, cold, or moisture; and deprivation of sleep. The assumption is that lowering the subject's physiological resistance will lower his psychological capacity for resistance; however, there has been no scientific investigation of this assumption. Many psychologists consider the threat of inducing debility to be more effective than debility itself. Prolonged constraint or exertion, sustained deprivation of food or sleep, etc. often become patterns to which a subject adjusts by becoming apathetic and withdrawing into himself, in search of escape from the discomfort and tension. In this case debility would be counter-productive. The questioner should be careful Another coercive technique is to manipulate the subject's environment to disrupt patterns, not to create them, such as arranging meals and sleep should be granted irregularly, in more than abundance or less than adequacy, on no discernable time pattern. This will is done to disorient the subject and by destroying his capacity to resist. Dependency He is helplessly dependent upon the "questioner" for the satisfaction of all basic needs. Dread (Intense Fear and Anxiety) Sustained long enough, a strong fear of anything vague or unknown induces regression. On the other hand, materialization of the fear is likely to come as a relief. The subject finds that he can hold out and his resistance is strengthened.
3 A word of caution: If the debility-dependency-dread state is unduly prolonged, the subject may sink into a defensive apathy from which it is hard to arouse him. It is advisable to have a psychologist available whenever regression is induced. This illustrates why this coercive techniques may produce torture. Objections to Coercion A. There is a profound moral objection to applying duress beyond the point of irreversible psychological damage such as occurs during brainwashing. Brainwashing involves the conditioning of a subject's "stimulus-response bond" through the use of these same techniques, but the objective of brainwashing is directed primarily towards the subject's acceptance and adoption of beliefs, behavior, or doctrine alien to his native cultural environment for propaganda rather than intelligence collection purposes. Aside from this extreme, we will not judge the validity of other ethical arguments. This technique is illegal and may not be used. B. Moreover Some psychologists feel that the subject's ability to recall and communicate information accurately is as impaired as his will to resist. This objection has some validity but the use of coercive techniques will rarely confuse a resistant subject so completely that he does not know whether his own confession is true or false. He does need mastery of all his mental and physical powers to know whether he is a spy or not. Once a confession is obtained, the classic cautions apply. The pressures are lifted enough so that the subject can provide information as accurately as possible. In fact, the relief granted the subject at this time fits neatly into the "questioning" plan. He is told that the changed treatment is a reward for truthfulness and evidence that friendly handling will continue as long as he cooperates. Justification for Coercive Techniques These techniques should be reserved for those subjects who have been trained or who have developed the ability to resist non-coercive techniques. Coercive Techniques A. Arrest The manner and timing of arrest should be planned to achieve surprise and the maximum amount of mental discomfort. He should therefore be arrested at a moment when he least expects it and his mental and physical resistance is at its lowest, ideally in the early hours of the morning. When arrested at this time, most subjects experience intense feelings of shock, insecurity, and psychological stress and for the most part have great difficulty adjusting to the situation. It is also important that the arresting party behave in such a manner as to impress the subject with their efficiency. B. Detention A person's sense of identity depends upon a continuity in his surroundings, habits, appearance, actions, relations with others, etc. Detention permits the "questioner" to cut through these links and throw the subject back upon his own unaided internal resources. Detention should be planned to enhance the subject's feelings of being cut off from anything known and reassuring.
4 Little is gained if confinement merely replaces one routine with another. The subject should not be provided with any routine to which he can adapt. Neither should detention become monotonous to the point where the subject becomes apathetic. Apathy is a very effective defense against "questioning". Constantly disrupting patterns will cause him to become disoriented and to experience feelings of fear and helplessness. It is important to determine if the subject has been detained previously, how often, how long, under what circumstances, and whether he was subjected to "questioning". Familiarity with detention or even with isolation reduces the effect. C. Deprivation of Sensory Stimuli Solitary confinement acts on most persons as a powerful stress. A person cut off from external sensory stimuli turns his awareness inward and projects his unconscious outward. The symptoms most commonly produced by solitary confinement are superstition, intense love of any other living thing, perceiving inanimate objects as alive, hallucinations, and delusions. Deliberately causing these symptoms is a serious impropriety and to use prolonged solitary confinement for the purpose of extracting information in questioning violates policy. Although conditions identical to those of solitary confinement for the purpose of "questioning" have not been duplicated for scientific experimentation, a number of experiments have been conducted with subjects who volunteered to be placed in "sensory deprivation tanks". They were suspended in water and wore black-out masks, which enclosed the entire head and only allowed breathing. They heard only their own breathing and some faint sounds of water from the piping. Summarize the Results of These Experiments: 1. Extreme Deprivation of sensory stimuli induces unbearable stress and anxiety and is a form of torture. It's use constitutes a serious impropriety and violates policy. The more complete the deprivation, the more rapidly and deeply the subject is affected. 2. The stress and anxiety become unbearable for most subjects. They have a growing need for physical and social stimuli. How much they are able to stand depends upon the psychological characteristics of the individual. Now let me relate this to the "questioning" situation. As the "questioner" becomes linked in the subject's mind with human contact and meaningful activity, the anxiety lessens. The "questioner" can take advantage of this relationship by assuming a benevolent role. 3. Some subjects progressively lose touch with reality, focus inwardly, and produce delusions, hallucinations and other pathological effects. In general, the more well-adjusted a subject is, the more he is affected by deprivation. Neurotic and psychotic subjects are comparatively unaffected or show decreases in anxiety. D. Threats and Fear The threat of coercion usually weakens or destroys resistance more effectively than coercion itself. For example, the threat to inflict pain can trigger fears more damaging than the immediate sensation of pain. In fact, most people underestimate their capacity to withstand pain. In general, direct physical brutality creates only resentment, hostility, and further defiance. The effectiveness of a threat depends on the personality of the subject, whether he believes the "questioner" can and will carry out the threat, and on what he believes to be the reason for the threat. A threat should be delievered coldly, not shouted in anger, or made in reponse to the
5 subject's own expressions of hostility. Expressions of anger by the "questioner" are often interpreted by the subject as a fear of failure, which strengthens his resolve to resist. A threat should grant the subject time for compliance and is most effective when joined with a suggested rationalization for compliance. It is not enough that a subject be placed under the tension of fear; he must also discern an acceptable escape route. The threat of death has been found to be worse than useless. The principal reason is that it often induces sheer hopelessness; the subject feels that he is as likely to be condemned after compliance as before. Some subjects recognize that the threat is a bluff and that silencing them forever would defeat the "questioner's" purpose. If a subject refuses to comply once a threat has been made, it must be carried out. If it is not carried out, then subsequent threats will also prove ineffective. The principal drawback to using threats of physical coercion or torture is that the subject may call the bluff. If he does, and since such threats cannot be carried out, the use of empty threats could result in subject's gaining rather than losing confidence. E. Pain Everyone is aware that people react very differently to pain but the reason is not because of a difference in the intensity of the sensation itself. All people have approximately the same threshold at which they begin to feel pain and their estimates of severity are roughly the same. The wide range of individual reactions is based primarily on early conditioning to pain. The torture situation is an external conflict, a contest between the subject and his tormentor. The pain which is being inflicted upon him from outside himself may actually intensify his will to resist. On the other hand, pain which he feels he is inflicting upon himself is more likely to sap his resistance. For example, if he is required to maintain rigid positions such as standing at attention or sitting on a stool for long periods of time. The immediate source of pain discomfort is not the "questioner" but the subject himself. His conflict is then an internal struggle. As long as he maintains this position, he is attributing to the "questioner" the ability to do something worse. But there is never a showdown where the "questioner" demonstrates this ability. After a period of time, the subject is likely to may exhaust his internal emotional strength. This technique may only be used for periods of time that are not long enough to induce pain or physical damage. Intense pain is quite likely to produce false confessions, fabricated to avoid additional punishment. This results in a time consuming delay while investigation is conducted and the admissions are proven untrue. During this respite, the subject can pull himself together and may even use the time to devise a more complex confession that takes still longer to disprove. Some subject actually enjoy pain and withold information they might otherwise have divulged in order to be punished. If pain is not used until late in the "questioning" process and after all other tactics have failed, the subject is likely to conclude that the "questioner" is becoming desperate. He will feel that if he can hold out just a little longer, he will win the struggle and his freedom. Once a subject has successfully withstood pain, he is extremely difficult to "question" using more subdued methods.
6 F. Hypnosis and Heightened Suggestibility The reliability of answers obtained from a subject actually under the influence of hypnotism is highly doubtful. His answers are often based upon the suggestions of the "questioner" and are distorted or fabricated. However, the subject's strong desire to escape the stress of the situation can create a state of mind which is called Heightened Suggestibility. The "questioner" can take advantage of this state of mind by creating a "hypnotic situation", as distinguished from hypnosis itself. This hypnotic situation can be created by the "magic room" technique. For example, the subject is given an hypnotic suggestion that his hand is growing warm. However, his hand actually does become warm with the aid of a concealed diathermy machine. He may be given the suggestion that a cigarette will taste bitter and he could be given a cigarette prepared to have a slight but noticably bitter taste. A psychologically immature subject, or one who has been regressed, could adopt a suggestion that he has been hypnotised, which has rendered him incapable of resistance. This relieves him of the feeling of responsibility for his actions and allows him to reveal information. H. Narcosis There is no drug which can force every subject to divulge all the information he has, but just as it is possible to create a mistaken belief that a subject has been hypnotized using the "magic room" technique, it is possible to create a mistaken belief that a subject has been drugged using the "placebo" technique. Studies indicate that as high as 30 to 50 percent of individuals are placebo reactors. In this technique the subject is given a placebo (a harmless sugar pill) and later is told he was given a truth serum, which will make him want to talk and which will also prevent his lying. His desire to find an excuse for compliance, which is his only avenue of escape from his depressing situation, may make him want to believe that he has been drugged and that no one could blame him for telling his story now. This provides him with a rationalization that he needs for cooperating. The function of both the "placebo" technique and the "magic room" technique is to cause capitulation by the subject, to cause him to shift from resistance to cooperation. Once this shift has been accomplished, these techniques are no longer necessary and should not be used persistently to facilitate the "questioning" that follows capitulation. Regression As I said at the beginning of our discussion of coercive techniques, the purpose of all coercive techniques is to induce regression. How successful these techniques are in inducing regression depends upon an accurate psychological assessment of the subject and a proper matching of method to source. There are a few non-coercive techniques which can also be used to induce regression, but to a lesser degree than can be obtained with coercive techniques. The effectiveness of these techniques depends upon the "questioner's" control of the environment. For example: it is illegal and against policy to use them to produce regression. Following is a list of these non-coercive techniques which require great care because of their succeptibility to abuse:
7 A. Persistent manipulation of time B. Retarding and advancing clocks C. Serving meals at odd times D. Disrupting sleep schedules E. Disorientation regarding day and night F. Unpatterned "questioning" sessions G. Nonsensical questioning H. Ignoring half-hearted attempts to cooperate I. Rewarding non-cooperation In general, thwarting any attempt by the subject to relate to his new environment will reinforce the effects of regression and drive him deeper and deeper into himself, until he is no longer able to control his responses in an adult fashion. Whether regression occurs spontaneously under detention or is inadvertently induced by the "questioner", it should not be allowed to continue beyond the point necessary to obtain compliance. calls for remedial treatment as soon as it is noticed. In some cases A psychiatrist should be present if severe techniques are to be employed, to insure full reversal later. As soon as possible, the "questioner" should provide the subject with the rationalization that he needs for giving in and cooperating. This rationalization is likely to be elementary, an adult version of a childhood excuse such as: called. 1. "They made you do it." 2. "All the other boys are doing it." 3. "You're really a good boy at heart."

The minister of finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, yesterday said the federal government had paid the N48.2 billion outstanding subsidy arrears owed oil marketers in 2015.
The payment, she explained, was made to enable the oil marketers to import petroleum products and meet up their other financial needs.
Adeosun revealed this through the ministry's director of information, Mr Salisu Dambatta, in Abuja yesterday.
She said: "The gross total outstanding subsidy claims accruable to the oil marketers for 2015 stood at N48.2 billion, while deductable tax liabilities payable to the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) stood at N5.2 billion only."
Adeosun also stated that she had directed the Debt Management Office (DMO) to pay the claims minus the tax liability of N5.2 billion, which was computed by the FIRSs.

Hope this will help. Let us know if you need further assistance.
Thank you. Not quite what I am looking for, though. I want to be able to place the "sticky note" anywhere on the page, without interfering with the positioning of any other elements (as if it were placed on top, anywhere, like one might do with a Post-It Note).
Appreciate the suggestion, though.
Really defeats the purpose of having an online form by mixing it with analog-style sticky notes. Why not use the hint functionality to display unobtrusive notes on demand?

Unfortunately we do not have sticky note widget.
However, as Alexander suggested you can use Hint Example option.
You can also use Hover text option to write a description for your field.

The CBI sought four more days of custody to interrogate Mr Raja saying that he was "not divulging any useful and crucial information" about his role in 2G spectrum scam
New Delhi: Former telecom minister A Raja was today remanded to two more days of Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) custody by a court here for further interrogation after the agency submitted that he was not divulging any "useful information" regarding his role in the second generation (2G) scam, reports PTI.
Special judge OP Saini also sent former telecom secretary Siddartha Behura and Mr Raja's former personal secretary RK Chandolia to Tihar Jail under judicial custody as the agency said it no longer needs them in its custody.
Mr Raja will remain in CBI custody till 10th February.
The trio, arrested by the agency on 2nd February for their alleged role in the 2G spectrum allocation scam, involving a loss of Rs22,000 crore to the public exchequer as per the CVC estimates, were produced before the special judge following expiry of their five-day custody with the CBI.
After producing the trio before the court, the CBI sought four more days of custody to interrogate Mr Raja saying that he was "not divulging any useful and crucial information" about his role in 2G spectrum scam.
"Some more documents are to be recovered and accused A Raja is to be confronted with them," senior CBI prosecutor Mr Akhilesh submitted.
Refuting allegations by Mr Raja's counsel Ramesh Gupta that the agency had not disclosed to the court the outcome of the probe conducted so far in this case, Mr Akhilesh said, "The case diary has already been submitted to the court. Each and everything cannot be disclosed in the open courtroom."
Opposing CBI's demand for four more days of Mr Raja's custody, Mr Gupta said, "I am not having the custody of any document, which the CBI wants to recover from me."
"Whatever documents were there, they have already been seized by them in 2009 itself," he added.
About Mr Behura and Mr Chandolia, the CBI counsel said the agency no longer needs their custody. "The two can be sent to Tihar Jail under judicial custody," he said.
The market has turned extremely weak and may go down by 5% subject to weak rallies
The market opened with modest gains on support from metal, banking, IT and power stocks. It soon pared some of the initial gains as profit-booking set in, leading the indices into the red in mid-morning trade. The market traded in a narrow range in noon trade.
Selling pressure resulted in a slow southward journey and the market finishing near the day's low. The broader markets underperformed the benchmarks in today's session.
As suggested on Friday, a new downturn has started. The Sensex and Nifty opened higher at 18,142 and 5,432 respectively. This was the day's high and soon the market slipped below yesterday's closing. Thereafter it fell below yesterday's low and also below Friday's low. After 2.30PM, the market began to weaken suddenly and the Sensex and Nifty hit a new low point since July 2010-hitting 17,742 and 5,303 respectively during the day.
The Sensex declined 261 points to 17,776 and the Nifty fell 83 points at 5,313. The advance-decline ratio on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) was a dismal 229:1476.
The market breadth on the Sensex and the Nifty was in favour of the losers today. The Sensex closed with 25 stocks in the red and five in the green, while the Nifty had 43 decliners against seven gainers.
Among the broader markets, the BSE Mid-cap index tumbled 2.42% and the BSE Small-cap index plunged 3.23%.
All sectoral gauges closed in the red today. BSE Consumer Durables (down 3.81%), BSE Realty (down 3.08%), BSE Auto (down 2.70%), BSE Bankex (down 2.28%) and BSE Oil & Gas (down 2.06%) were the top losers.
Bajaj Auto (up 1.69%), Tata Power (up 1.47%) and Cipla (up 0.83%) were the noteworthy gainers in the Sensex list. Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) (down 5.97%), ONGC (down 5.58%) and Jaiprakash Associates (down 5.21%) were the major losers.
Ahead of the budget, finance minister Pranab Mukherjee today said that exporters will have to 'fight' their own battle and stop expecting fiscal incentives from the government.
Unveiling a report that listed measures for cutting export transaction costs, the finance minister said the country's exporters must "innovate and become more productive."
Most markets in Asia settled lower as concerns about possible harsher policy decisions by nations in the region weighed on investors. The Bank of Korea is expected to decide on further rate hikes in its meeting on Friday.
Besides, as mentioned earlier, the forthcoming Union Budget (which will be announced on 28th February) is expected to be a harsh one.
Coming back to Asia, the Hang Seng fell by 0.29%, the Jakarta Composite declined 0.80%, the Straits Times lost 0.21%, the Seoul Composite shaved off 0.58% from its yesterday's close and the Taiwan Weighted ended 0.37% lower.
On the other hand, the KLSE Composite gained 0.26% and the Nikkei 225 rose 0.41%.
Back home, institutional investors-both foreign and domestic-were net sellers of stocks on Monday. Foreign institutional investors offloaded stocks worth Rs65.47 crore and domestic institutional investors sold equities worth Rs12.40 crore.
Hindustan Construction Company (down 3.48%) has informed the BSE that the company has received a Letter of Award from Kanti Bijlee Utpadan Nigam for construction of main plant, CW, offsite civil works and chimney and chimney elevator package for the Muzaffarpur Thermal Power Project, Stage-II (2x195MW) in Bihar.
The value of the contract is Rs232.07 crore. The project is expected to be completed in 34 months from the date of issue of the order.
India's largest tractor & sports utility maker, M&M (down 5.97%) on Monday announced its entry into the construction equipment business with the launch of the first indigenously developed backhoe loader, the 'Mahindra EarthMaster'.
The company has invested Rs300 crore in manufacturing and product development and will manufacture 200 units per month at its Chakan plant near Pune, M&M's president, Automotive and Farm Equipment Sectors, Pawan Goenka said, adding that the capacity will increase to 300 units per month next year.
India's largest private sector bank, ICICI Bank (down 2.98%), has joined hands with Aircel to drive financial inclusion in the country. Under the deal, the duo will offer various financial products including savings accounts, prepaid instruments and credit products.
The partnership is expected to bring the unbanked and under-banked population into the organised financial services framework and further assist in electronic payments market in India. ICICI Bank will leverage the distribution strength of Aircel.
Bharti AXA Life Insurance has launched its Bright Stars Edge and True Wealth. The period from January to March is the season for tax savings, and hence the rush of fresh ULIP offerings
Bharti AXA has launched its new Unit-linked Insurance Plan (ULIP) with new names, but carrying the same old charges. The 'fresh' offering has no new functionality.
There is no single premium option in these ULIPs. The charges of most of these new ULIPs are more than old ULIPs, when compared for 5 years or more; these ULIPs fall under the same category.
Bright Stars Edge offers the double benefit of sum assured and fund value release, should something unfortunate happen to you. But this results in increased mortality charges that are ultimately paid by the policyholder.
It offers several investment options with different mix of debt and equity. The policyholder can have 12 free switches each year. The charges are in-line with other new ULIPs offered post 1 September 2010 when compared for those ULIPs with 5-year duration, and on the higher side for duration of 10 years and beyond.
The True Wealth plan offer guarantees you the highest daily Net Asset Value (NAV) for the first 7 years on maturity with a minimum NAV guarantee of Rs12.
The policy duration is 10 years, but has limited premium payment term of 5 years, that allows funds to grow for 10 years after a minimum of 5 years of premium paid.
The highest NAV is not applicable in the event of the policyholder's demise before policy term or surrender of policy. There is only one investment option that has flexibility for the insurer to have equity from 0% to 100% and debt from 0% to 100%.
This is a typical highest NAV plan, wherein policyholders will not get great returns. It is for the conservative risk-averse investor. There will be some exposure to equity in the beginning of the policy term, but it will then be moved to debt.
The NAV guarantee of Rs12 is nothing spectacular. Even if we assume a starting NAV of Rs10, it is just 20% in 10 years. The charges are in-line with other new ULIPs offered post 1 September 2010 when compared for those with 10 years' duration.

Hello, readers!
I hate leaving author's notes, but since the story is over, I feel no remorse over writing one... Although, it does say that the story is a chapter longer than it is... Nevermind that.
I am not sure how many of you are already aware of the sequal. For those of you who don't know about it yet, this note is for you. I have posted the sequal now, and you are more than welcome to read it. It is called The Hearts We Break.
If you wish to read it, then look above these words. There should be blue, underlined text (a link, to be exact), that says "The Lonely Bird". If you click on that, it will take you to my profile. Once you have gone to my profile, scroll down and search for the story titled "The Hearts We Break". Click on it, and you now have the sequel on your screen.
Thank you all for reading The Games We Play. I loved hearing your reviews (and if you didn't review, then you frustrate me). I look forward to reading reviews for the sequel.
- Lonely Bird

Description: "You Better Work!" is the first detailed study of underground dance music or UDM, a phenomenon that has its roots in the overlap and cross-fertilization of African American and gay cultural sensibilities that have occurred since the 1970s. UDM not only predates and includes disco, but also constitutes a unique performance practice in the history of American social dance. Taking New York City as its geographic focus, "You Better Work!" shows how UDM functions in the lives of its DJs and dancers, and how it is used as the primary identifier of an urban subculture shaped essentially by the relationships between music, dance, and marginality. Kai Fikentscher goes beyond stereotypical images of club and disco to explore the cult and culture of the DJ, the turntable and vinyl recordings as musical instruments, and the vital relationship between music and dance at underground clubs. Including interviews, photographs, and an extensive discography, this ethnographic account tells the story of a celebration of collective marginality through music and dance
