It's Anne Frank for an MTV world — cranky, worried about her looks and crushing on a boy.
In a new adaptation of "The Diary of Anne," she's your average teenager and not the tragic Jewish saint that has been portrayed for 60 years on stage and in an Oscar-winning, 1959 Hollywood movie.
Anne "was pretty obsessed with boys, prickly and difficult with her mother, quite manipulative, mad about clothes and very interested in her looks," says Deborah Moggach, who wrote the new TV production that will air on PBS' "Masterpiece Classic" this spring.
She's not the "too serious" Anne of previous adaptations, says Moggach.
"I wanted our Anne to not feel like a creature of history, but a young girl who young people could relate to because she feels like them. We wanted to be as truthful to her as we could be and not sanctify her or make her a martyr," she says.
Holocaust hardliners might cringe at this updated way of portraying the 13-year-old Dutch girl who chronicled her life during two years of hiding from the Nazis in a cramped annex over her father's office.
Scenes like the ones where Anne falls in (and out of) love with Peter van Pels, the 15-year-old boy who was also in hiding with her, or when she seethes that sometimes she just wants to "slap her [mother] across the face" are all taken directly from the original diaries, Moggach insists.
The new version was originally created for British TV as a five-part miniseries, broken up into 30-minute episodes, to "tackle it as if it was a video diary," Moggach says.
It will air on PBS in its entirety April 11, to coincide with Holocaust Remembrance Day (though it was released on DVD here late last month.)
PBS has a marketing plan in the works to appeal to "younger women who are already communicating online," says "Masterpiece Classics" executive producer Rebecca Eaton. The goal is "getting the word out that [the adaptation] is on and it's slightly different," Eaton says.
By highlighting the typical-teenager side of Anne's personality, Moggach believes she's actually been more truthful about who Anne was than previous adaptations have been.
"One loves a rounded human being [more] than a cardboard-y goody-goody. That's what I desperately want, so that we feel for her and love her," Moggach says.
If this all sounds a little more "Gossip Girl" than "Masterpiece," at least some Anne Frank scholars don't object.
The new take is "actually a good thing," says Maureen McNeil, director of education at the Anne Frank Center USA in downtown Manhattan, who has seen the British miniseries.
"They did a good job in portraying her as a human and not an icon," says McNeil. "That's who Anne really was — she was a feisty teenager.
"Her story is like any story that needs to be updated with every generation," McNeil says.
"Every time you tell a story, it changes a little bit so that the audience can understand," she says.
"It's not making it false. It's speaking to the audience."

'Mazhai Ninrulum thoovanan Vidathu...' (Though rain stopped, the drizzle continues) is the apt proverb for Kamal's Dasavatharam. Yes... the film is again facing some serious problems from Senthil Kumar, an Assistant director who claims the copyright of the story of the film right from the launch of the project.
Few weeks back the Chennai Sessions Court had granted a clean chit in the alleged script-lifting case of the movie. Earlier, the court denied a stay on Dasavatharam on the plagiarism case filed by Senthil Kumar. His subsequent appeal has also been slammed by the court after careful comparison, in camera inquiries and study of the movie's script with Senthil's story. In the judgment, the court also denied any similarities between the two stories. But the unconvinced Senthil Kumar is now knocking the doors of The Supreme Court for justice!
In a recent interview Senthil alleged that he has been attacked by a gang of goons sent by Kamal's close associates. He further told that he met the then Commissioner of Police and handed over a complaint to take action against Kamal and his associates. However, he stated, since no action has been initiated by the Commissioner's office, he took the matter to the Tambaram Judicial Court. The court admitted his petition and the case has been adjourned to November 7, 2007.
He also mentioned that he is prepared to move to the Supreme Court in this matter next week. However, Senthil challenged Dasavatharam's release and declared that he will release his original script before the release of Dasavatharam in the form of print as well as a 3D animated movie. He has titled the animated version as 'Cloning- The original version of Dasavatharam'
But quite contrary, the actor is busy with the final works of Dasavatharam and makes efforts to bring the movie for Pongal 2008.

Ah, the halcyon days of the mid-twentieth century, when cigarette companies could recruit pro athletes, medical doctors, or even the Flintstones to sell their nicotine sticks. Here's a commercial of former Dodgers great Preacher Roe, a four-time All Star pitcher who compiled a tidy 22-3 record in 1951, throwing his support behind Camel cigarettes. He must love Camels, he's got two packs in his lunchpail!
Smoker or not, Roe lived to the ripe old age of 92 before succumbing to colon cancer, which once again proves my hypothesis that you can only evade the Big C for so long before it bites you in the ass.

Hello neglected website how have you been?
We really haven't been on top of things as much as we should on here. There once was a time when only the website got updated, now that has become a faded past as it's all about the faecesbooks and the twitters, SOCIAL MEDIA. Websites don't really ever get a look in. THIS WILL STOP TODAY!
We are in a dawn of a new time, a new age, a new world. Where this website might get updated a bit more, fingers crossed.
Since the last post, a lot of things have happened. There is a lot of change in the air.
Before all that, if you are one of the people who saw us in the well advertised Leeds show, or the less- advertised –because-Dan-Got-Caught-up-in-life-Birmingham Gig, thank you. They've been great and confidence for most of us at the moment is through the roof. So much so that Jack has signed up to Skydiving classes this Wednesday, Dan's signed up to teach them. Lewys is doing Lewys type things.
With the momentum at its highest we had our last event at St.Martins Coffee in the form of 'Another Cabaret Night', thanks to all the performer s and the people who came down, you can check the photos on our facebook page here https://www.facebook.com/DanNicholasConversationGarden
But Alas it is an end of an era, as we got kicked out of our house. And by that we mean, our tenancy came to a drastic and most horrible end, and by that we mean, it was just the end of the contract.
And we parted ways…..kind of. Jack moved in with his girlfriend (yes he has a girlfriend, sorry ladies) leaving Lewys and Dan to find themselves a flat. There wasn't an emotional goodbye, no tears were shed. No word was said. Dans just been listening to a lot of Suede.
I'm sure a lot of you may have be wondering, 'what happened to the mattress, and the beloved bathtub, it's bound to be worth a lot of money some day' …..we are not at liberty to discuss the whereabouts of these objects.
WHAT'S NEXT YOU CRY, IS IT OVER!?!?! WITH JACK GONE WHAT WOULD BE THE POINT IN CONTINUING? Well in case you haven't heard us rave about it we're going to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, for the full run. Are you planning on coming? Maybe you're not sure? Perhaps you've been thinking of a weekend away from that annoying loved one/housemate/family member for sometime, and you need an excuse to flee the country with out any notice. FEAR NOT WE'LL BE THAT EXCUSE!!! Come see us, we love moral support, also bring food. We're on everyday at the George Next Door (apart from Tuesdays) at 1.20pm
BUT BEFORE THAT WE'RE DOING ANOTHER SHOW IN LEICESTER! (ohnoreally?youguysareonallthetimegettingalittlesickofyounow) YA RLY! Upstairs at the Western on the 19th of July at the more reasonable time of 8pm get tickets here http://upstairsatthewestern.com/event/dan-nicholas-conversation-garden-so-far/ as Dan is beginning to panic that we have too much of a student audience, and all the students will have left = no audience PROVE HIM WRONG AND COME ALONG. If you've seen the show in Handmade Festival, then you'll know it's good, and there's even some extra new bits added in! If you haven't seen the show in Handmade Festival then rest assured it's very good. Better that we could have imagined (and that's basing it on two previews – arguably all the amount of previews you need, right? RIGHT?)

· September 5, 1910 Benjamin Brown, Medal of Honor recipient, died. Brown was born in 1859 in Spotsylvania County, Virginia. On May 11, 1889, he was serving as a sergeant in Company C of the 24th Infantry Regiment when his unit was involved in an engagement with robbers in Arizona during the Indian Wars. His actions during the engagement earned him the medal, America's highest military decoration. The medal was awarded on February 19, 1890 and his citation reads: "Although shot in the abdomen, in a fight between a paymaster's escort and robbers, did not leave the field until again wounded through both arms."
· September 5, 1916 Frank Garvin Yerby, novelist, was born in Augusta, Georgia. Yerby earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Paine College in 1932 and his Master of Arts degree from Fisk University in 1938. Yerby was originally noted for writing romance novels set in the Antebellum South. In the 1940s, he embarked on a series of best-selling historical novels ranging from the Athens of Pericles to Europe in the Dark Ages. In all, he wrote 33 novels and sold more than 55 million books worldwide. In 1946, he became the first African American to publish a best seller with "The Foxes of Harrow" which that same year was purchased by a Hollywood studio, another first for an African American author. Ultimately the book became a 1947 Academy Award-nominated film of the same title. In 1958, his "The Serpent and The Staff" appeared on the New York Times Best Seller List for fiction. Other novels by Yerby include "The Devil's Laughter" (1953), "The Dahomean" (1971), and "McKenzie's Hundred" (1985). Yerby left the United States in 1955 in protest against racial discrimination and moved to Spain where he lived until his death on November 29, 1991.
· September 5, 1939 Claudette Colvin, civil rights pioneer, was born in Montgomery, Alabama. On March 2, 1955 while returning from high school on the bus, Colvin refused to give up her seat to a white person in violation of local law. As a result, she was removed from the bus by two police officers and taken to jail. At the time, black leaders were looking for a case to litigate in an effort to overturn the law, but because of Colvin's poor background they decided to wait until they had a plaintiff who was more upstanding. Nine months later, Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat on a bus to a white person resulting in the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Colvin was sentenced to probation and in 1958 moved to New York City. She retired in 2004 after 35 years as a nurse's aide at a Manhattan nursing home. Colvin's story was told in the biography "Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice" which won the 2009 National Book Award for Young People's Literature.
· September 5, 1994 Isiah "Ike" Williams, hall of fame boxer, died. Williams was born August 2, 1923 in Brunswick, Georgia. He began boxing professionally in 1940 and won the World Lightweight Boxing Championship in 1945. He successfully defended the title five times before losing it in 1951. He was named Ring Magazine Fighter of the Year in 1948. Williams retired from boxing in 1956 with a record of 125 wins, 24 losses, and 5 draws. He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990.

Our Dog Trainers
Dale Emery (Founder)
Dale Emery has been training dogs for hunting and obedience for over 30 years. He originally built Stonehearth Kennels for his own dogs, but decided to expand its operation into a boarding and training facility. He visited larger kennels out of state and took the best ideas and incorporated them with his own as to how he wanted the kennels built. He built the kennels on 16 acres of land and added two ponds to have access to water training. The grounds are set up to teach young gun dogs (retrievers and pointers) concepts that they will encounter in the field.
The large outdoor basic obedience compound is evenly lighted by high pressure sodium lights (HID) for night time training. In winter and inclement weather, Dale and his trainers use the indoor training facility. Many of the retrievers and pointers Dale has trained have attained their AKC Master Hunter, Senior Hunter, and Junior Hunter test titles. Dale has had field trial dogs attain AKC Qualifying All Age status and compete in Open All Age dog trials as well.
Dale has trained many breeds of dogs in Basic Obedience. He not only works with young dogs for basic obedience but has worked with problem dogs, deaf dogs, older dogs, and dogs that are going to be used for companionship for elderly, disabled and/or physically impaired clients.
The primary goal for any type of dog training is to get the dog and owner to work together as a team. Dale has a set program he uses for training and oversees his trainers to make sure that the techniques are followed to his standards. Most owners will see remarkable and positive changes in their dogs after completing the obedience training and/or gun dog training program with Dale and his trainers.
Tim Franzini
Tim Franzini has been training dogs at Stonehearth Kennels for over 20 years. He is an avid duck and pheasant hunter who travels to Tennessee, Iowa, North Dakota, and locally, to hunt with his sons.
Tim and his sons all have Stonehearth Kennel trained gun dogs and own dogs with the Stonehearth lineage. Tim has had hunting dogs that were AKC Hunt test titled and have competed in hunt tests.
Tim is also a high school hockey coach and has coached winning hockey teams in La Crosse, Onalaska, and Holmen.
He brings the skill, patience, and determination he has developed as a coach and uses these traits when training dogs in obedience or gun dog training.
Reese McCoy
Reese is a duck hunter and he participates in AKC hunt tests. He titled each of his adult dogs after joining the Stonehearth team and his Yellow Labradors have earned Master Hunter and Senior Hunter titles.
Reese is a very patient and dedicated trainer who works closely with clients to ensure that they can skillfully handle their dogs.
Sean Mason
Sean Mason was first introduced to Stonehearth through his uncle, who met with other Stonehearth clients on Saturdays to train their dogs.
Sean loves the outdoors and dogs, so dog training is a natural fit for him.
He loves to hunt ducks, pheasants, turkey and deer. Sean has a female golden retriever, Tess, who will be joining him in the marsh this fall after receiving training this summer.
Sean is currently a junior at Onalaska High School and was recently honored as student of the month.

Truffle Hot Chocolate Balls from Michelle:
Recipe from Mels Kitchen Cafe
book: Polar Express
*Makes about 9-10 hot chocolate balls
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips (about 2 cups)
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
In a medium bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Microwave for one minute intervals, stirring often, until the mixture is combined and very smooth and silky. When you first start stirring, after the first minute or so, you'll wonder if this mixture will ever come together. It will look grainy and messy but after it heats thoroughly and is whisked to combine, it will magically become beautifully smooth. Be careful not to overheat as the chocolate can seize. The trick is to stir often since the mixture will blend together even when it looks like the chocolate chips haven't melted completely.
Let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes at room temperature. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator until the ganache mixture is firm and scoopable, about 2-3 hours. Scoop out about 1/4-cup spoonfuls of the mixture and place them on a wax paper-lined baking sheet. My cookie scoop is about 1 1/2 tablespoons. I mounded two of the heaping cookie scoops full of ganache on top of each other to form one ball. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and let the mounds harden slightly, about 15-20 minutes. Roll the chilled mounds into balls and place on squares of plastic wrap (about 4 inches by 4 inches). Pull the sides of the plastic wrap over to cover the ball and place the balls in the freezer until ready to use.
To make the hot chocolate: pour 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups (depending on how rich you like your cocoa) milk into a microwave-safe mug. Carefully drop one unwrapped truffle hot chocolate ball in the milk. Microwave for about 2 minutes. Stir well until the chocolate is combined with the milk. Serve warm!

You don't need a master's degree in child psychology to recognize a temper tantrum when you see one or to realize that all children have them. But have you ever stopped to think about the reasons behind the rage?
"A temper tantrum is a child's expression of frustration because his or her language is not as well developed," says Kimberly Sirl, PhD, clinical child psychologist at St. Louis Children's Hospital. "These outbursts commonly occur in children between ages 1 and 3. Young children lack the vocabulary and developmental skills necessary to express their emotions verbally, and when frustration levels rise, a tantrum is their only means of release."
Dr. Sirl points out that frustration is as normal a part of life for children as it is for adults, and that parents should use tantrums as opportunities to teach their little ones to calm themselves.
How Should You React?
"Try to keep your cool in the face of a tantrum," says Rose Rudert, manager at St. Louis Children's Hospital's Child Development Center. "If the parent gets frustrated too, that will only add fuel to the child's fire. Instead of focusing on the bad behavior itself, try to identify the underlying cause and, if appropriate, fix the problem."
Whatever you do, don't give in to a tantrum. If you reward it, next time it will be bigger and louder. Stand firm, and when the storm subsides, praise your child for calming down.
Lastly, be a good role model.
"How you handle your situations will be seen by your child and affect how he or she responds," Rudert says. "They're going to do what you do, so modeling appropriate behavior is something that parents always need to keep in mind."
When to Seek Help
Tantrums should diminish by age 4, as language skills develop. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends consulting your pediatrician if:
- Tantrums increase after age 4
- Child harms property, self or others during tantrums
- Child holds breath or faints during tantrums
- Child displays signs of emotional distress

From Utica, New York, USA:
Our grandchildren live in another state and we see them only twice a year. Our son-in-law is a very permissive parent and also as a husband to our deceased daughter. She was scared to see a doctor and had a lump on her breast. He told us, "She doesn't need to go to a doctor." Well, six months later she died of stage 5 bone cancer. He is taking the same attitude with our grandson. I'm worried because you can actually see the ribs standing out in our grandson.
Our grandson, age 15, has lost considerable weight (116 pounds now at 5 feet, 10 inches), is thirsty, has leg cramps, is constantly hungry, and voids continuously. We have tried to have him take a test of his sugar, but he refused, believing nothing is wrong. We believe he is scared of needles. This morning, we observed my grandson vomiting upon rising out of bed. I'm worried, but my grandson tried to say it was from drinking a gallon of water for the track team. I think he's fibbing since he looks terrible. We can see his ribs now.
How can we get our son-in-law to do what's right for his son (our grandson)? Am I right to suspect diabetes?
There is a history of diabetes on both sides of our family. We're diabetic and our oldest son has had diabetes since he was 13 years old.
This child needs urgent medical attention. I would encourage your son to seek medical attention immediately. If you suspect there is medical neglect, I would contact your local child protection authorities.
Additional comments from Debbie Butler, MSW, LICSW, Licensed Clinical Social Worker:It sounds like you have every right to be concerned. It sounds like your grandson needs to see his pediatrician and may need urgent medical attention. If you are worried about your grandson's safety then you could call the Department of Social Services in the state where they live and tell them your concerns and say that you are worried about medical neglect and that your grandson could have diabetes or some other illness and may need urgent medical care.

apple began the hype machine spinning tales of jaguar (the next release of os x) monday when it announced the developers will be treated to demonstrations of jaguar at the apple worldwide developer's conference in may. the boys over at the reg estimate that jaguar can't be released any later than fall, when many of these developers will head back to school. jaguar is rumored to do all sorts of things, but most importantly it corrects a few glitches in the ui and generally speeds things up a bit. it is also rumored that folder navigation will be re-tooled to more closely resemble the classic method. i have even heard the words "springloaded folders." read the apple press release, and the register article. by the way: 10.1.4 was released on thursday.
user comments 3 comment(s)
|i sure hope (2:07pm est fri apr 19 2002)
they fix the "entering text priority" situation in jaguar. i'm so freakin' sick and tired of having my text entry cut off mid-sentance by pop-up windows, dialogues. – by fluxxored
|jaguar at wwdc, hmmmmmm (2:08pm est fri apr 19 2002)
why does apple feel it needs to preview jaguar (macos x 10.2) at the developers conference?
do 'springloaded folders' and 'drag-and-drop printing' require application developers to adjust their code for these features? hmmmmm.
if their code doesn't require substantial adjustments for these ui features, then why preview jaguar at a developers conference?
could it be that apple has something new under the hood rather than ornamental to show programmers? what might that be? journalling? doubt it that would be an incredibly rapid development. what then? – by eirik
|naa eirik (1:34am est sat apr 20 2002)
i doubt there's much to it. apple just likes to dazzle whenever there's a keynote. apple developers are such "functionality whores" they're gonna eat the new ui features right up. i bet there's some significant speed tweaks involved in different areas, not much more. we'll see. – by macjedi

September 6, 2017
TORONTO – Unifor is planning another action to demand that Northstar Aerospace fund a dramatic 24 per cent pension deficit for its retirees and members of the Milton plant, represented by Local 112.
"There is no financial reason for Northstar Aerospace to refuse to fund the pension plan. The only excuse is corporate greed," said Unifor National President Jerry Dias. "If Northstar won't meet with us we will take our message to the corporate board to demand action."
The Unifor National President, members and retirees will be seeking action and a response from Wynnchurch Capital, the private equity firm that owns Northstar, and invite the media to a public action.
WHAT: Unifor action at Wynnchurch Capital
WHERE: 150 York Street, Toronto at the corner of York and Adelaide streets
WHEN: Wednesday, September 6 at 10:30 a.m. ET.
WHO: Unifor National President, Local 112 retirees and members
At the end of this month Northstar Aerospace is closing its Milton plant. This closure means the loss of highly skilled, good paying union jobs. The closure also means a wind up of the pension plan. If the plant remained open the pension plan is fully funded. On a wind up basis the pension plan deficit is 24%. Despite Northstar being a profitable company it refuses to fund the pension deficit. This shortfall will adversely affect retirees. The average retiree is 70 years old and currently receives $881 as a monthly pension. When the plant closes the cut will mean a reduction of $211 each month. To date, the company has offered no response to the union's single demand – to fund the pension deficit.
Dias said, "After months the company has refused to discuss the matter. Time is running out - Northstar needs to do the right thing and stop short-changing retirees that have made it profitable for so many years."
Unifor is Canada's largest union in the private sector, representing more than 315,000 workers in every major area of the economy. The union advocates for all working people and their rights, fights for equality and social justice in Canada and abroad, and strives to create progressive change for a better future.

Beijing Auto Show opens
April 25, 2010 | Posted by Chris
Yesterday players in the global auto industry unveiled nearly 1000 cars at this weekend's opening of the Beijing International Auto Exhibition, major news outlets report. Running from April 23 to May 2, the Beijing Auto Show -- also known as Auto China -- is a major platform for carmakers to introduce their latest models in China, including both concept and production cars. Crowds have flocked to view exhibitions by brands like Ferrari, Mercedes, Lamborghini, Honda, Ford and Hyundai -- among many others. The new Ferrari 599 GTO, for example, is to date the company's fastest road car, topping out at a speed of almost 210 miles per hour. Chinese automaker Geely -- which this month confirmed its purchase of Volvo -- has also unveiled its Gleagle IG model, which is the latest in its line of sedan vehicles. The Beijing Auto Show holds special significance for the auto industry because it is seen as an entry-point into the world's fastest growing car market. It's reported that in China there are only a few dozen cars to every 1000 people -- compared to 500 cars to every 1000 people in many developed nations -- and it's in filling this gap that the event's participants are keenly interested.

Large Black Hogs
All pigs we are raising at this time are for our meat program. For breeding stock inquiries please contact my dear friend Tammy in Bluefield, VA. She has the best bloodlines in the country. 540-219-3931 Tammy. You better be nice to her . She is a great woman.
Once committed to being a sustainable farmer who thinks about the quality of the animal, land, and consumer simultaneously – what would be the first thing to come to mind? Pigs are the obvious answer right! My wife started to really wonder about my sanity when I came to this conclusion. Pigs get a bad rap but they serve a great purpose like many other livestock. Our pigs earn their living by rooting, grubbing, digging, and wallowing in mud and dirt all day. They are a great form of land management. With management being the key word. Our plan is to rotate our animals to alleviate the woodland and pasture of unwanted small trees, vines, and bushes and then take them off. The remaining open ground will open up native grasses and forage for wildlife. This isn't a pipe dream. I have seen this practice done and we are doing it now.
We feel by helping an animal do what God intended, the animal will return to us the best tasting and healthiest meat possible. Our pigs grow slower and never spend a day off the dirt of our land. This process enables them to build the fat and muscle that pork really should have to taste the best it can by taking in vitamins and minerals from the ground and sunshine hog house pork never sees. A pig raised on concrete as fast at it can be may be cheaper but in no form is it "better" for anything involved. We must continue to develop methods to allow animals to be raised on the land and be able to "feed the world" as factory farming does today. Until then we can do the best we know how to do.
We are proud COCHON 555 participants in Washington, DC 4-22-12!!
We decided to go with another breed that is near extinction, the Large Black Hog. A wonderful animal known for its temperament, mothering ability, and taste was a good fit for our farm. We will be raising registered Large Black hogs to help build the breeds numbers. We have a waiting list for our piglets so please contact us. We will cross breed our large Black boar with other breeds including Yorkshire and Berkshire for optimum meat production. Our pigs live off clover, grasses, and woodlands. We also supplement their diet with fresh ground alphalfa, corn, oats, barley, and wheat. We will feed alfalfa hay in the winter. Our pasture pork will be finished with apples, pears, acorns, and dairy products (really). My wife makes fun of us being pig farmers but we both enjoy it. Please read more on the Large Black Hog at he following sites.

Ulster Tartan
Ulster tartan is basically the only Irish tartan with any historic pedigree. Before Victorian times different tartans didn't represent clans or families they represented regions. Even this was more by accident than design, it was due to differing styles of local weavers and the limitations of locally sourced natural dyes available.

American generals of Ulster origin during the Revolutionary war.
Quite apart from the fact that one third to one half of the American colonial army were Ulstermen or the sons of Ulstermen, nothing brings more conviction of the great part played by our people in the Revolution than to consider the number of American officers of high distinction who were of Ulster origin or descent. Over 25 of Washington's generals were of Ulster heritage, here are some of those men…
General Richard Montgomery was from County Donegal. He fell while gallantly leading his men in an attack on Quebec. By a strange co-incidence, the British commander on that occasion, and the man who saved Canada for the British Empire, was General Sir Guy Carleton, who was born near Strabane, only a few miles from Montgomery's home.

'God's Frontiersmen - The Scots-Irish Epic'
In 1988 Channel 4 (UK) in co-operation with Ulster Television produced a four episode mini-series and accompanying book entitled 'God's Frontiersmen - The Scots-Irish Epic' by Rory Fitzpatrick. The TV production was part drama, part documentary exploring the Ulster-Scot journey from Scotland to Ulster and then for many, onto America. The series containing around 3.5 hours of video was released on VHS in 1989 and possibly on DVD a little later. Both the book and the video are worth trying to track down for anyone interested in Scots-Irish / Ulster-Scot history.

Presented below are a series of clips from TV series plotting part of that journey.... Thanks to YouTube user BickyBox for uploading these clips!

The Ulster-Scots & The Fiddle.
Fiddle music is of course very popular in Ireland... but few know that the fiddle (or more technically, the violin) along with traditional reels were introduced into Ireland mainly by Ulster-Scots. And within a few generations the Ulstermen took their fiddle music with them to the frontiers of America where in their areas of settlement around the Appalachia it evolved over time into Old-Time and Bluegrass styles....
The Fidula (medieval fiddle) had been known in Ireland at least since the 1500's but the style of music played on them was much different than the traditional Irish music heard today. The fiddle we know today (the Violin) arrived through Ulster probably early in the 17th century, and with the great movement of people from Scotland to Ulster at that time the popularity of the instrument (and the now traditional reels and strathspeys) spread quickly around the country in areas where the planters settled and beyond.

Peter Obi's Many Burden
-Masterweb Reports
(Submission By Esin Suji)
Some six years ago, in May 2006, an apparently unknown political neophyte, named Peter Obi, upset the Apple Cart when he was finally declared the REAL Winner of the 2003 Governorship elections in Anambra State – after about 30 months of unrelenting legal battles.
The routine challenges of delivering good governance to a long-neglected populace are onerous, and coupled with predatory designs on public assets the burdens of steering the ship of Anambra State begin to come into marked focus. But as the Igbos would say" A naghi aso ngide eje ogu" [One does not shy away from battle on the scare of being captured].
At bottom were the challenges of a State made prostrate by a cohort of self-seeking and venal politicians, private individuals and their bogus outfits. In response to Peter Obi's refusal to key into their modus operandi, they adopted all kinds of fiendish and physical means to render the State ungovernable. They sponsored thugs, arsonists, murderers, armed robbers, cultists and political jobbers to unleash terror on the administration and hapless citizenry alike.
Over time, the Good Lord granted the administration victory and the erstwhile 'enemies' are increasingly toeing the line of peace. Peter Obi's message was unambiguous a situation where a minority would hold the rest of citizenry hostage was unacceptable. Of course, it is only a committed leadership that can successfully checkmate this unwholesome phenomenon.
Institutional structures were hardly enabled and public service morale was at an all-time low. It was indeed appalling and sobering to discover that – some 15 years into the creation of the State -- Judges had no official quarters, Permanent Secretaries without official vehicles, salaries/emoluments and pensions in arrears, offices in rented buildings, internally-generated revenues controlled by the predators and so on. Tackled with dogged determination, the Obi administration has changed the situation extensively for the better. Conditions of services have improved, majority of the Judges now have official quarters, Permanent Secretaries have official cars and drivers, new State Secretariat complexes have been constructed and now effectively occupied, salaries are paid as at when due, promotion is based on merit, pensioners get their gratuity within 3 months of their formal disengagement from service and the public sector is re-established as the main engine of development.
The Obi administration was also confronted with the heavy burden of local and external debts running into billions of Naira; much of which had no relevance to the development of the State, but to which the State had been committed. As at end-2011, the incumbent Anambra State Government had cleared all pension arrears to the tune of about N7 billion as well as other indebtedness it inherited. It is on record that the administration has not borrowed money from any person, organisation or Government within and outside the State. In spite of his background in finance and management, Peter Obi has stoutly resisted the attractive temptation to issue Bonds, which has become the bane of most other State Economies. He is not one to mortgage the future of the people.
The peace and security challenge conveyed the image of a State at war with itself. The predators that held the State hostage had unfettered access to public sector apparatuses through their influence in many corridors of power. With massive investments in community policing – involving regular agencies and screened vigilance groups – the Government has now successfully promoted collective responsibility in the maintenance of peace and security in the 177 major communities of the State, particularly against various manifestations of violent crimes.
All told, the Obi programme of action -- the multi-focused Anambra Integrated Development Strategy [ANIDS] -- clearly demonstrates the enormity of the challenges on ground. Evidently to date, there have been tremendous achievements in all sectors and sub-sectors of the economy, polity and society at large. Included here are significant boosts to transparency in the conduct of public affairs, education, ICT competences, healthcare delivery, agriculture and agri-business, water supply, social and economic infrastructure, youth & women empowerment and entrepreneurship, security, human capacity development, among several others. The impressive list is really a thing to tell: return of erstwhile mission/voluntary organization schools to their original proprietors, resuscitation of education and health services, ICT-Microsoft Academies in the Local Government Areas, the youth empowerment initiative better known as ANSYREP-Anambra Re-Birth, collective responsibility in security, expanded rural & urban road network of over 500 kilometres, community participation in development, ana enabling environment for business and deepening sense of self-worth among the people.
Governor Peter Obi is one of the three State CEOs invited into the select Nigeria Economic Management Team and an Honorary Presidential Adviser on Finance. Beyond this commendable and earned recognition, these twin roles impose great burdens on him to make impact in the fulfilment of the national transformation agenda.
A few years back, Peter Obi's colleagues on the South-East Governors' Forum unanimously decided that he should be their permanent Chairman thence, rather than the rotational 6-month tenure per Governor. Also, though the [then] sole APGA Governor, his counterparts in the Southern Nigeria Governors' Forum and in the larger Nigeria Governors' Forum also made him their Chairman and Vice-Chairman respectively. As he bears the weight of imprinting his acclaimed integrity, transparency and accountability in the conduct of public affairs, he should become one of the rallying points to help galvanize these fora into greater relevance on issues of regional, national and international interests. There are critical issues of restoring unity of purpose and dignity among the people and Governments of the south-east; peaceful co-existence, co-operation and harmony among the ethnic nationalities of southern Nigeria; and mutual understanding and concord within the Nigerian geo-polity and economy.
As is well-known, the reign of terror in the pre-Obi administration era practically tagged Anambra State a pariah State. Investing his tremendous personal and corporate goodwill as well as governance credentials, Peter Obi has restored the confidence of the international community in the State. Across the State, quite a number of organizations within the United Nations system, the European Union, bi-lateral, voluntary, other donor agencies and Development Partners are actively involved in various value-added programmes and projects in Anambra State. These are verifiable.
A man of vision and mission and a positive Change Agent, Peter (the rock) Obi represents a new genre of leadership that well-meaning Nigerians and Friends of Nigeria have prayed and hoped for over the years. In the Nigerian experience, there is a thin line between loyalty to the State, admiration, support and sycophancy for Oga. But, Peter Obi has avoided the creation of a leadership cult around his person. Rather, he has been focused on the daunting task of strengthening institutional structures that would render abuses of public trust unattractive.
The trip-wires are still being laid on his path and the pressure has been mounting, but he is unwavering in his commitment to meaningful societal development. His attainments and determined focus in the service of his State and country at large speak volumes of Divine intervention in his mission. So help him and the rest of well-meaning Nigerians, God.
Esin Suji writes from Owerri

Information Resources:
Management Commitment Needed to Meet Information Challenges
IMTEC-90-27: Published: Apr 19, 1990. Publicly Released: Apr 19, 1990.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4841
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO assessed the effectiveness of the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) information resources management (IRM) in supporting its mission, focusing on central VA IRM management practices and VA information needs.
GAO found that: (1) VA information systems did not readily provide management with data to effectively assess, monitor, and manage its expensive programs, because of antiquated, inefficient, and nonintegrated automated systems; (2) VA managers could not easily obtain information on performance indicators to monitor and analyze VA health care; (3) VA had significant problems in recruiting and retaining nurses and could not easily get information to analyze attrition or retention data, resulting in outdated reports to congressional committees; (4) VA central office managers had no information to determine whether medical centers appropriately verified physicians' credentials; (5) VA program benefit information was not formatted to allow managers to effectively monitor benefit processing activities or answer congressional questions; (6) VA lacked reliable cost information that would enable it to determine whether VA effectively used its resources to administer health care; and (7) the VA system includes redundant information and requires labor-intensive manual processing, creating errors that delay service. GAO also found that: (1) VA lacked a long-term agency planning process to support its mission; (2) VA had neither fully developed nor effectively implemented IRM policies; and (3) major VA components operated autonomously, thereby hindering effective implementation of the IRM program.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: This recommendation has been overtaken by events. Specifically, VA reorganized and placed departmentwide information resources responsibilities under the Assistant Secretary for Finance and Information Resources Management. This change was made partly due to the CFO Act. Subsequent audits have covered the current IRM structure and include more relevant recommendations.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Veterans Affairs should provide the commitment and resources needed to improve VA IRM. This would include ensuring that VA top managers' information needs are identified and that they support the goals and objectives of VA long-range plans.
Agency Affected: Department of Veterans Affairs
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: VA has established a departmentwide IRM Steering Committee to help determine VA information and technology needs. It also has recently completed a departmentwide architecture that defines some of its requirements across VA components.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Veterans Affairs should provide the commitment and resources needed to improve VA IRM. This would include developing a working group from the major IRM and program components and assigning a full-time project manager to analyze the information requirements for the VA mission. This would entail working with the components to identify what information: (1) exists and where it resides; (2) needs to be shared; and (3) needs to be created.

Small Great Things
A labor and delivery nurse faces an ethical dilemma
By Jodi Picoult
Bestselling author Jodi Picoult's new novel, Small Great Things, centers on a labor and delivery nurse. That was all I needed to know before I bought the book. What nurse doesn't wonder whether or not a writer outside the profession can really capture the details of the career she loves? Don't we all secretly believe that we are the only ones who can truly understand what we do and why we do it?
The premise of Picoult's tale is based on a real incident: Back in 2013, three African-American neonatal nurses at Hurley Medical Center in Flint, Mich., sued the hospital for racial discrimination, alleging that they had been ordered not to treat a white infant because his father did not want black nurses to touch his baby. The federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission also filed discrimination charges against the hospital. (All these suits were later settled out of court.)
Picoult's novel has a similar inciting incident: The protagonist, Ruth, is a mid-career black RN working in a small hospital in New Haven, Conn. She is told to refrain from caring for a newborn because the boy's white supremacist family objects to her race. Within days, a perfect storm of circumstances leads to the infant being alone in Ruth's care and crashing following a circumcision. The charge nurse and the only other RN available are called away for an emergency. The infant suffers respiratory failure and Ruth is left wondering whether to obey orders or intervene. This, then, is the crux of the novel: what Ruth does, why she does it, whom she tells and what consequences result. It's a plot that intrigued me even as I poked holes in how it unfolds.

Emergencies do happen more often than we'd like to think on neonatal units. So, the plot is believable that far. However, would any good RN really consider sitting on her hands in such a situation, no matter what she had been told? Next, Ruth's license is suspended during the investigation of the child's death. This development made me wonder if that's really what happens in Connecticut. Since nurses are presumed innocent until proven guilty, are suspended nurses offered non-patient care positions pending investigation? Even RNs with substance abuse problems are usually allowed to reclaim their licenses after taking the steps prescribed by the licensing board.
The most perplexing element of the plot is the way Ruth learns that she is not to care for this particular infant: a Post-It note on the chart cover. This point raised many questions for me. Even as a graduate nurse, I knew that orders were orders — they were written by medical providers and were INSIDE the chart, not on sticky notes.
Knowledgeable readers will recognize that this plot point is "ripped from the headlines." The nurses in the real incident that inspired this story alleged that the "no African-American nurses" restriction was communicated in a similar way. It's reasonable to suppose that hospital officials who issued such an obviously discriminatory order would prefer to communicate it in an informal way. On the other hand, in the real world, the existence of such an order would be as messy for the hospital as for the nurse. (In the real incident, it was the nurses who sued the hospital, which later paid more than $200,000 in settlements.)
Another weakness of this novel is that Picoult uses every stereotype I could imagine to tell her tale. There's a stalwart single mom with a truculent teenager; an attention-seeking minister; a problematic African-American prosecutor; and a white supremacist who later reveals a heart of gold. On top of all that, Ruth is friends with the wealthy white family that employs her mother as a housekeeper, allowing the heroine to proudly stand her ground when they offer her money. None of these characters is drawn with much subtlety.
In the afterword, the author speaks directly to readers, explaining that she has wanted to write a book about race relations in America for a long time. Small Great Things is a timely conversation-starter, but I'm sorry to say that I was distracted by the number of credibility-straining technical details and the contrivances that push the narrative forward to a surprise ending which wraps everything up a little too neatly for me. Picoult is a very popular American author with thousands of loyal fans, so I'm sure there are many that will love this book. (On January 30, Variety announced that Amblin Partners is making a movie version, to star Viola Davis and Julia Roberts.)
I give it a "B+" for representing what nurses are all about, but the storyline rates only a "C."

Role of architects not understood very well, says Dubai-based architect
Dubai-based X-Architects co-founder, Ahmed Al Ali, says one of the greatest challenges facing Middle East architects at present, is how the profession is viewed by the society.
The role of the architect in the Middle Eastern region is important, but undervalued, according to Al Ali.
"Yes, we're definitely facing challenges here. It's not very well understood by society in general what the role of an architect is, and could be," says Al-Ali.
He admits it is a new concept in this part of the world where, in his opinion, architects not only provide commercial projects, but also bring value in terms of cultural and social aspects.
"Architects are viewed as service providers rather than contributors to culture. It has to change," he added.

We use that as a heading because it looked such an unlikely outcome for much of the evening. If we've ever had cause to use the phrase "We got out of jail" then it was tonight with a 48-40 result in favour of the Parsons Peebles Monarchs.
Ricky Wells emerged as the top home scorer one week after he damaged his ribs in a crash last Friday. He said "I had an ignition problem in my first ride, and I thought it was going to be one of these nights – I've had a few of them this year. But I was happy with the way I finished especially winning heat 15 which I haven't done for a while. Pleased the team got the win and I hope Mark is OK.
"The track was difficult but we were looking at the weather forecasts and there was no rain forecast. So they watered as they had to do and then I think we had a shower for about an hour. They are not getting much luck."
We had trailed 18-24 after heat 7 and still by 35-36 at heat 12, so how did Monarchs win? On another lively track we managed to score two 5-0 heat advantages, in heats 8 and 14, so that certainly had something to do with it. On the other hand we did have three important engine failures. And brilliant displays by Ricky Wells and Sam Masters were also crucial to the final tally.
The home heat leader trio in fact scored 30 points from only 11 completed rides, with Erik Riss the fastest man on show.
It really was some night. A few crashes, the most serious involving Mark Riss who has in the end been diagnosed with dislocated fingers, and also some mechanical problems with three riders stopping in the first four heats and then Sam in the last race.
Mitchell Davey (heat 2) and Ricky Wells (heat 4) both stopped in their first heats, and Justin Sedgmen for the Witches stopped in heat 3. Later Sam Masters stopped round the first turn of heat 15.
However Ricky came back with a brilliant 11 points from his next four heats and both Masters and Sedgmen had otherwise excellent evenings.
Monarchs had dropped behind when Wells stopped in heat 4, and things got worse. Rory Schlein beat Sam to the third turn in heat 6 and Sam came to grief trying to turn tight. This had disastrous consequences for Mark Riss who narrowly avoided Sam but clattered the home straight fence, with the result that he was ferried off to Hospital after a lengthy delay.
In the following heat Ricky Wells had to battle past Heeps for second spot behind Sedgmen and and that point the score was 18-24.
Kyle Newman fell while leading heat 8 though, and Nathan Greaves fell early in the rerun, gifting a 5-0 to Max Clegg (the Injury Rider Replacement) and Josh Pickering who were both finding conditions tricky.
Heat 9 looked like being shared with flying Erik Riss on his way to his third win, but Rory Schlein (who stared with two wins) came off while protecting his partner, another gift which put us a point ahead!
Masters brilliantly passed race leader Sedgmen by going wide into the dirt to share heat 10, and Ricky Wells did it from the gate against Danny King in heat 11. Still one point ahead. Sedgmen then became the first man to take a point from Erik Riss, with Connor Mountain taking third from Pickering, so with three races left the Witches were back in front!
Heat 13 was thus the biggest heat of the season so far. Monarchs rode a brilliant opening lap to get on a 5-1 but Danny King fell attempting a big outside move, so it had to be rerun. This time Rory Schlein got into second behind Wells but another superb wide pass by Masters set up the 5-1, and suddenly Monarchs were 3 ahead.
Still heat 14 was going to be vital, and Cameron Heeps led on the opening lap. Nathan Greaves fell at the back, and amazingly Heeps also fell on the fourth corner which meant both Witches were ruled out of the rerun and for the second time, Clegg and Pickering took 5 points to ensure a win on the night.
Ipswich now needed an advantage from the last race to get a point, but even though Sam Masters didn't get past the opening bends, another brilliant Ricky Wells win left the unfortunate visitors pointless.
Another huge battle ahead for the Parsons Peebles Monarchs this Friday as we welcome the Ipswich TRU7.com Witches to Armadale in league action.
This is one that many fans are viewing as the toughest battle the Monarchs have faced so far this season with some thinking the home men are underdogs heading into the fixture a scenario that can't have happened many times in our spell at the Dale.
The Witches were tipped as one of the main challengers at the start of the season and so far have lived up to their billing although they will be hoping for improvement away from their home Foxhall circuit that they have turned into a fortress.
The Witches have not had their troubles to seek so far with regards injuries with 2 permanent changes being forced on them alongside the temporary replacement of Kyle Newman early in the season. The line-up appears to be settling down now though and with as fearsome top 5 as there is in the league with plenty of Armadale experience and pedigree a tasty fixture lies ahead.
First up in that top 5 is reigning British champion (until Monday at least) Danny King. King is widely regarded as one off the top men in the Championship and is a big contributor everywhere the Witches go. He has been involved in some enthralling races around the Dale and with a paid 15 score among other double digit returns in his past he will be looking to set the stall out for the Witches and make a mark as early as heat 1 and his battles with our top men will be a sight to behold.
A strong looking opening pairing sees Kyle Newman slot in at number 2. Newman is perhaps the weakest of the visiting top 5 based on Armadale form but as a former number 1 and 5 at Plymouth most of his matches here have involved riding in more difficult heats than he will face from the number 2 slot. Newman has had an injury plagued start to the season and this has caused a slight dip in scoring power so far but he now appears to be turning the corner and having recently been dropped by Premiership outfit Poole he will be looking to impress.
Number 3 in the Suffolk men's line-up is a rider who needs very little introduction in Justin Sedgmen. There is not much more that can be said about Sedgy a rider who in 2 years with the Monarchs picked up 2 league titles, 2 league cup titles, a KO cup title and a fours championship title not to mention a hell of a lot of friends at the club. We wished Justin all the best when he decided he wanted to take the step up to the top tier last year before Ipswich brought him back to the second tier to replace the injured Nico Covatti. Justin certainly showed he has not forgotten the quickest way around the Dale though as he came from the back to take the Harrison's Scottish Open back on the opening night of the season and if we can keep him quiet tonight it will go a long way to securing all 3 points.
Joining Sedgy in the engine room of the visitors is young Aussie Cameron Heeps. Heeps is one who perhaps has not made the strides many expected from him and is now into his 7th year on these shores. This seems to be the year Heeps is taking that next step though and he currently has put 2.5 points on his season starting average. Many will also remember that Heeps was voted visiting rider of the year by the Monarchs fans back in 2014 after a sensational performance in the cup semi final, a repeat of that performance this week and the home men's unbeaten record may well disappear.
Another Monarch's legend helps complete the quintet in the form of the 'Roo Boy' Rory Schlein. It is hard to believe it has now been 13 years since we last saw Rory in a Monarchs race jersey but time has not lessened the level of goodwill the Monarchs faithful have towards Rory and he will go down in Monarchs folklore as one of the members of the 2003 team that brought our first ever league championship success. Rory has been a regular visitor over those years in the Scottish Open and once again showed his pedigree by making the final of this year's event. The drop down to the second tier appears to have reinvigorated Rory also as he had added 1.5 points to his starting average and also currently sports a remarkable 9.5 point average in the Premiership for Wolves.
Of course with that level of power in the top 5 something has to give in team building and for Ipswich this year it was at reserve where they decided to start the season with a pair of 2 point reserves in the hope that they would hold their own and number 6 Connor Mountain has certainly done that so far. Mountain has done well to push his average up by almost 0.7 of a point and has been a solid contributor and it will be interesting to see how he fares on his first visit to Armadale at this level.
Completing the Witches is recent signing Nathan Greaves. Greaves was brought in to replace the unfortunate Danyon Hume who suffered a badly broken arm in what was a major blow to the Witches as Hume was having a breakthrough season more than doubling his starting average. Greaves has not let the side down though since being introduced and appears to be making the most of also having Premiership experience being as he is a member of the Wolverhampton outfit also. Greaves has never shown a real liking for Armadale in the past but again this was in his more formative years and he appears to be a different rider this year who will certainly cause our guys problems at the bottom end of the team.
So a strong and experienced looking Witches side make the long trek north hoping to lower our colours and also chase the top spot in the SGB Championship table and our Blue and Gold heroes will need to be at their very best to take the spoils.
The home men will line up with our full 1-7 despite injury fears over Max and particularly Ricky, both were feeling second hand after their crashes last Friday with Ricky admitting he would not have been fit to ride had our trip to Newcastle went ahead last Sunday however a few days rest has Ricky raring to go as he took his place for Rye House on Wednesday night.
One change to our riding order sees Josh drop to reserve. This is something that he should be relishing as with his recent return to form coupled with the ability to take extra rides meaning some bumper pay days should hopefully be ahead for the Aussie and with the form Max has shown over the last few weeks moving back into the main body should hold no fears.
The forecast is set fair, the opposition look strong and primed to challenge and our boys will be out their defending their league topping position with everything they have, what more could you ask for on a Friday night with only one place to see it and that's trackside at Armadale. See you there!

Bosnian Serb commanders' convictions upheld at war crimes court
Two Bosnian Serb commanders have had their appeal against convictions for war crimes rejected.
Cousins Milan and Sredoje Lukic were contesting their guilty verdicts at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague.
The court upheld the life sentence handed to Milan Lukic in 2009 and reduced Sredoje's from 30 years to 27.
The pair were formerly members of the notorious White Eagles Serb paramilitary group.
The decision by the tribunal to uphold the commanders' lengthy prison sentences is likely to cause anger in Belgrade, where some people feel the court has unfairly targeted Serbs.
Serbians recently protested over the tribunal's decision to acquit a high-ranking Croatian army officer and the former Kosovo prime minister in two separate cases.
Milan and Sredoje Lukic were convicted of war crimes and crimes against humanity by the tribunal in 2009, with judges describing their crimes as "the worst acts of inhumanity that a person may inflict upon others".
The charges relate to events which took place in the eastern Bosnian town of Visegrad during the 1992-1995 conflict.
Houses burned
Milan Lukic was found guilty of persecutions, murder, extermination, cruel treatment and inhumane acts against Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims), amounting to crimes against humanity and war crimes, in relation to six discrete incidents.
The 45-year-old was found responsible for the murder of 59 women, children and elderly men in a house in the town in June 1992.
The victims were locked into one room of the house which was then set on fire. Milan Lukic was found to have placed the explosive device in the room which set the house ablaze, and to have shot at people as they tried to flee from the burning building.
He was also found guilty of the murder of at least 60 Bosniak civilians in a house in the town's Bikavac settlement later in June the same year.
The court found that he and other armed groups had forced the civilians inside the house, blocked all the exits and thrown in several explosive devices and petrol, setting it ablaze.
Sredoje Lukic, who is Milan's cousin and a 51-year-old police officer, was present at one of the burnings and was found to have "substantially contributed to the deaths" though his armed presence.
Both men had asked the court to reverse their convictions, or at least reduce their jail terms.
Their lawyers claimed the court made "substantial and factual errors" and "certain oversights in the first trial regarding the identification of the appellant".
The prosecution also filed an appeal, asking the court to increase Sredoje Lukic's sentence.
Milan Lukic was transferred to The Hague in February 2006 from Argentina, where he was arrested in August 2005 having been on the run for more than five years.
Sredoje Lukic, who according to prosecutors was hiding in Russia, turned himself in to Bosnian Serb authorities in September 2005 and was then transferred to The Hague.

The Danish Monarchy is one of the oldest in the world and can be traced back to the year 958 and Gorm the Old.
Denmark is a constitutional monarchy with Queen Margrethe II (b. 1940) serving as head of state since her inauguration in 1972.
Queen Margrethe II is married to Prince Henrik, the Prince Consort. They have two sons, Crown Prince Frederik (b. 1968) and Prince Joachim (b. 1969).
Crown Prince Frederik is heir to the throne. In 2004 he married Crown Princess Mary, who was a commoner born in Australia. The successor couple have four children and the family is widely popular in Denmark and the Crown Prince has been voted 'Dane of the Year' several times.
Though the royal family holds no real political power it has significant symbolic value in the Danish society. The Queen's annual New Year's speech is somewhat of a societal institution and a large number of Danes assemble in front of the royal residential palace, Amalienborg, for events such as royal birthdays, weddings and christenings.

Finally a book by a true professional of the subject is here! This book will be a game changer for readers."
—Shannon Stowell, President of the ATTA
"It is unfortunate how many people are disengaged at work. We live in a time where you can work a company that aligns with your values and sense of purpose and your work is no longer a job but rather a calling. This is a profound difference which authors Carrick and Dunaway understand completely. Fit Matters provides the road map for your great work fit!"
