New details have emerged about items seized during the January search of the home of Michael Jackson business associate Marc Schaffel, a record producer with ties to the porn industry.
According to court documents unsealed Monday, the bulk of the findings from the residence were from computer areas in the living room and garage as well as an upstairs room, with investigators seizing laptop and desktop computers, floppy discs, photographs, dozens of videotapes and a DVD of a Neverland party.
Among the other items taken were a message book, contracts, bills and miscellaneous documents, some from a locked closet in the bedroom. The court papers include notations next to the list of items taken — comments such as "Much of the paperwork contained in the folder was associated with Michael Jackson." Still, the documents were heavily edited, revealing mostly lists of seized items and leaving out much of the descriptions of those items.
Schaffel's Calabasas, California, home was searched for about an hour in late January while he was not home (see "Deputies Search Home Of Controversial Michael Jackson Associate"). The executive producer of Jackson's failed charity single "What More Can I Give" (see "Did Porn, Sony Or McDonald's Sink Jackson Charity Single?"), Schaffel was also behind "Take 2: The Interview They Didn't Show You," Jackson's rebuttal to British journalist Martin Bashir's eyebrow-raising "Living With Michael Jackson" documentary (see "Michael Jackson Strikes Back With 'Take Two' TV Special").
Investigators also combed the West Hills, California, home of Hamid Moslehi, Jackson's cameraman for "Take 2," seizing his computer and several videotapes on the same day as the Neverland Ranch search (see "New Allegations Spark Search Of Jackson's Neverland Ranch").
The documents released Monday also include separate warrants for phone records from five cell phone companies, though the numbers and reasons were omitted in the editing of the warrant, dated January 22, the same day Laugh Factory owner Jamie Masada held a press conference saying he'd received death threats for speaking out about the case (see "Jackson Wanted Boy To Leave The Country, Family Friend Says"). Masada had said he reported to authorities the calls he received, one to his unlisted cell number and another at the comedy club, but he did not accuse anyone in Jackson's camp.
Also noted within the unsealed documents is that detectives are having difficulty getting information from hard drives seized in the Neverland Ranch search and are requesting authorization to have the FBI assist them.
Meanwhile, Michael Jackson's new Web site, www.mjjsource.com, became operational Monday.
"I have become disturbed and troubled as a result of people speaking on my behalf whom I do not know," the singer said in a statement on the site. "For months, I have listened to reports that are inaccurate because they are based on hearsay, not facts. I have also listened, with amazement, to people who have misrepresented their relationships with me. I will use this site as one of the mediums for speaking out on my own behalf."
There will be a subscription fee to use the site.
Masada and Schaffel did not return calls for comment.

Long ago, Hephaestus, the God of Fire, saw a maiden in the woods. Her name was Aphrodite and she was the most beautiful maiden that he had ever seen. Many years later, he asked her to marry him in the same forest where they met. She could not speak. Surely he knew she was about to marry Poseidon the God of Water. She desperately wanted to marry him, but she knew Poseidon would harm him. So, she said, "I am very pleased to receive your offer, but I'm afraid I am already in love with another man. We will always be friends, maybe even the best of them, but as long as my mate lives, I will be loyal to him." With that, she left. Hephaestus was angry, but he loved peace so therefore, shed a tear. Only a tear of happiness, for Aphrodite, that she had found the love of her life. That tear was marooned and fell to earth in a huge ball of fire where it settled on old Native American land. Never to be discovered.
Thousands of years later…
In 1800, while the Library of Congress was still under construction, a worker stayed after hours to look at the design once more. Dead center of the huge structure, he found a stone. This was no ordinary stone; it was the color maroon and wriggled around on the ground as if something was trapped inside. He picked it up and took it home.
The next day, the man did not show up for work. His boss got angry and went to his house. When he got there, he saw that the door was locked and the curtains drawn. He assumed that the man did not wake up on time. He knocked on the door. No answer. Then he thought the man might be sick and he could send him a message later demanding details. Six days after is when people became worried. The man was not seen; there was no movement within the house; and, he still did not show up for work. The Mayor sent strong men and one of his friends to the house because he was too scared to do so himself. The men knocked on the door. They did not get an answer so they threatened to bust down the door. No answer. They busted down the door and it gave way after about six tries later with a sound that should have made them all deaf.
Inside, there was blood all over the walls spelling things in a foreign language. They searched all of the rooms but there was no sign of the man or his wife! Rumors went around that he took farm animals from his neighbors and killed them, then took their blood and smeared it on the walls in a foreign language telling where he went. The Mayor tracked down someone to decipher the message. A lady, as ancient as ever from the old Native American tribe, the Green Moccasins, said that the messages were not where he went but it had many complaints of old Native Americans, like when the rain season came early and there were no crops because the rain season was late. She said some strange things about how the house was cursed, that they should not stand there, and this place should be fenced off or there should be a barrier stopping people from coming there. This old woman, Running Water, said that the building should be taken down immediately unless the people in the town wanted to be cursed for life. Then suddenly she stopped and went into the house. She came out again with a bulge in her pocket, which to her great relief, no one noticed.
A while later, at exactly midnight, she came to the construction site of The Library of Congress and examined the stone in her pocket. Suddenly, the stone burned her hand until there was nothing left. She watched as the blood from her hand spelled out more complaints on the ground. Then she screamed and threw the stone away very quickly. It landed dead center at the library's construction site. The stone wriggled around and settled. Running Water ran as fast as she could and as far as she could to get away. The next day, when the flooring of the library would be done, a designer stepped on a round maroon stone. It wriggled and she jumped back in surprise. Saying nothing, she dug a hole, kicked the stone into it, then covered it up again.
A few years later…(1812)
It's burning! The Library of Congress is burning. The fire is very strange because it started in the very center and ran along the floor as if it were coated in gas. The fire even got to the books and the fire department had to call in back up from Virginia because it was so bad. All of the people were stunned; the fire occurred exactly at midnight, not a second earlier, not a second later.
Many people fled in fear that the fire would spread and reach their homes. The Mayor didn't know the cause of the fire so he said the fire was started by British soldiers during the War of 1812. The British thought they would conquer Washington D.C by burning the Library of Congress. The fire was finally put out and now I'm walking by the scene. It's horrible…thick black smoke is billowing out of the gap in the library. As I walk by, I see a man hurrying, but this is no ordinary man, for it looks as if he is coated in mist. "Sir, can you tell me how bad this fire was?" I say as he walks even faster. I follow.
"Sir, wait!" I call after him. He still makes no attempt to stop, then, all at once, he turns around and disappears right before my eyes! I scream but my instincts set in. I have never been to this part of town before. I notice an abandoned old house in front of me, covered in caution signs. I look over and the door is wide open! From across the street, I peer into the dilapidated house. There is red paint smeared into letters on the walls. I will take no more chances. I walk away slowly from the scene and then I pause. Which way? I see an older woman wandering the streets. I cautiously approach and say, "Ma'am, can you tell me where I am?" She smiles and says, in a foreign accent, "Yes, you're on Main Street, dear."
"Thank you," I say and ask her name. She replies, "Running Water." The walk back to my house from Main Street seems endless . I go to bed and conclude the day… or so I thought.
I hear a knock at the door. I look through the peek hole and see the lady from earlier today. What was her name? Running Water? I think so. I open the door and she says, "Good, I need to tell you something quickly. Step outside. I thought one of your folks would have answered the door before you." I start to tell her I live alone, but she shushes me loudly. She stands outside and says, "Please follow me; there is something I need to tell you." You followed a man yesterday."
I follow her down to the library and around a corner. There is the house that I was cautioned from. She asks if I knew the Legend of the IFireStoneI and I answer, "No, I've never heard of it." I get around a lot so it was surprising that I hadn't heard the legend before.
She begins, "Long ago, Native Americans had possession of this land and each townsperson had a complaint stone that they said their dislikes to. This land did not have very many perfectly round stones so all of the people of the land had to share one stone. This stone was thought to be rare because its color was off. It wasn't the typical color of a stone. The stone had been passed down forever and all the Native Americans had to share what they disliked to the stone. Then one day, invaders came so most of the Native Americans left or died in battles against invaders. The stone stayed and the Indians lost possession of it. Now, hundreds of years later, the stone is found again. Someone must remove it from the land or it could intern destroy the world."
"How could a stone destroy the world!?" I ask.
Running Water replies, "Well, you see, this is the answer to the question you were going to ask the man you saw earlier. The stone got too full of all of the complaints and it had to get them out. It found ways to spew out the complaints by looking attractive so that a human or animal will be drawn closer and touch it. Once they touch the stone, it acts harmless until you look a second time. Then it burns you and uses you blood to spell out complaints onto whatever is closest to it. That is also why I bring you here. So you can see what the stone does."
We walk inside and I see blood, a lot of blood. Spelled out in some different language that I didn't know. Running Water pipes up, "You see no bodies because they were burned to death. This fire is very strange because the stone makes it seem like it doesn't hurt and you usually don't realize that you're being burned to nothing until it's too late. It has hundreds of years of complaints in it so it's going to take hundreds of years for it to finish spelling out bad things, which could destroy our world as we know it. This is what happens to someone who touches the stone."
She slowly takes her hand out of where it was hiding. Why didn't I notice this before? I wonder. Her hand is nearly gone; all that is left is a few ashes, very black instead of tan.
"Running Water, you touched the stone and survived?!"
"Yes, but the bad thing is that once you realize the stone is burning you and you let it go before it's too late then you feel like you still have a hand and it's burning all the time."
"You should be thankful that you survived!" I say.
"But I'm not. I really wish I'd died because of the constant pain I will have all my life."
Suddenly, I say, "Running Water, we need to get out of here and go back to my house."
She answers, "No you go."
After a few moments, I say, "I think I get it. Was the fire at the Library of Congress started from the stone??"
"Yes!" she says, "You are very smart. I will come home with you but first we must make a stop." We walk off Main Street and I am about to turn the corner to my house when Running Water says, "Stop here."
As I turn around, I see the Library of Congress. She says, "I want to find the stone and kill it. The only way to do this is by picking it up and throwing it into an ocean; but, I can't do this alone. The stone will burn me since I have already seen it. You must pick it up. Don't look at it until we get to the ocean as it will burn you if you look at it more than once."
I say, "But, what if I fail and I look at it?"
She replies, "Pay attention to the stone. It will wait for its chance to burn you. Do not look at it. I am warning you. Once the stone realizes we are taking about it, it will a fight to the death."
I start to run, but my body stops me from moving. I repeat in my mind, Why me? Why me? Then I faint.
Splash!! The next thing I know water is on my face and I am awake! Running Water says, "It's time to find the stone; I cannot go in because if I see the stone, my hand will burn off the rest of my body. It's up to you to go in there and find that stone!"
Then she pushes me towards the library. I'm in! It would be much prettier if the walls weren't covered with black ash and soot. There are paintings all over the wall. I entered from the gap in the library not the doors because Running Water told me that if I entered from the gap, I would not have to walk so far to find the stone again
I walk for what seems like hours until I spot something wriggling in the ground. I cautiously approach. There it is. I am terrified! How am I going to pick up this stone? It is the color maroon and thrashing wildly. My hand shoots down. I grab the stone, shove it into my pants pocket, and leave.
Outside, Running Water asks, "Did you get it?" I nod yes. She says we need to start the journey towards the ocean. Then I stop. "How can I leave everything behind?"
"No one will miss you, after all, you do live alone, right?" she asks. I am astounded, "H How did you know that?"
She smiles, "Come, we must go now!" As we walk, it seems endless with so many miles to go before we reach the Atlantic. We will then have to row out to the deepest part. This is pointless, and I feel like it's a habit, but still I ask, "Are we there yet?"
With a smirk, Running Water replies, "Still 43 miles to go and we can't stop; got it?"
"Fine." I say. We are almost there. I can smell the salt of the ocean and it smells great, but we still need to row out to the deepest part to deposit the stone.
We're here!! The ocean stretches for miles. Running Water stops and looks up at the sun. We left the library at 12:49 a.m. and it's almost midday! She looks at the house parallel to the sun and says, "Here it is!" She moves aside a raft and there is a door. We enter. Inside is a huge rowboat and four oars but two are broken. She enters another door inside the "little hole in the house" as Running Water calls it. Inside the actual house is a living space, a ton of windows, and old paintings of sunsets. She digs into a drawer and finds shrink wrap.
Running Water and I walk back through the door. This time, she locks it behind her. In the "little hole in the house," she tapes the oars together and sets off with the gigantic boat and oars. She is much stronger than I thought. At the shore, she says "I forgot something; stay here and watch the boat."
Running Water goes into the "little hole in the house" and comes out holding two life jackets. "Safety first," she says and hands me one." Then we hop into the boat. Blue letters on the side spell out "The Seas' Pearl."
As we paddle out to sea, my pocket squirms. I remember what I have in there. I freeze until my brain takes action! I take out my hair ribbon and tie it to my pocket so the stone can't move at all. I look over at Running Water and she is staring at me, horrified. She says, "It has begun!" and rows faster than my father ever could in his lifetime. She tells me to be quiet about water as the stone might listen in.
After rowing for what seems like hours, we get to the center. "You know what's going to happen now?" I nod my head and every inch of my body says run, hide, and never come out again; but, I stay because it's open ocean. Where are am I going to go anyway?
Running Water sighs and says, "Child, you have come far enough; your job is done. I will return the stone to where it belongs." I am overwhelmed. Running Water will die for me and everyone else in danger of the stone's wicked fire. This is too much for me. She is the closest thing that I've ever had to a friend and I won't let her die because of a stupid stone.
The problem is, how am I going to pull the stone out of my pocket without losing my hand or burning to death? Running Water looks at me hard. "You must hand the stone to me when I'm about to jump off the boat."
Now it is my turn to speak up. "Why can't we get someone else to do this instead of you?"
She says, "I thought this might happen." I shake my head.
"I can't let you take the stone" I say. She yells, "Give it to me! I must take care of the stone myself!" She pauses. "The only reason I must throw the stone over with myself is because my limbs won't hurt me anymore. The water will cleanse my wounds and repair me as long as I have the stone with me. Also the stone might be able to help me with the shark problem."
"What shark problem?" I ask. She looks at me. "Forget I said that."
I might have made the worst mistake ever; but, trust is everything with a friend, so I trusted her. I hand the stone to her as she jumps.
"Look away," she screams as she lands in the water. I can't take my eyes off her though so I watch her fall into the water. Her hair shrivels up and disappears. Her clothes are replaced owtj fancier clothes. Suddenly, everything is quiet and a fin breaks the surface of the water near my boat. I scream. My heart beats faster than Native American drummer playing Taknoki on an old Shaman log.
Running Water gasps as she sees fins circling her. She says, "Quickly hand me the rope in the bottom of the boat and tie the other end of it to the cleat." I hurry to do as she asks. She hoists herself on to the rope and climbs. When she is finally on the boat with me, she looks as if she is 24 again.
"Wow!" I say, "That was an awesome recovery!"
She looks at me. "The stone is taken care of and the world has nothing more to fear. You must never tell about this mission and remember some things are just illusions."
Then she jumps off the boat, but hangs in midair for enough time to say, "You have proved yourself to the world that my job is done here." She smiles and disappears into mist. I scream and cry. How will I get home now? Emotion overtakes me. I scream again and throw my hands off the boat into the water. I sit and take all in. Land is in sight. I'm heading towards it. I don't know how long it will be until I get there or even if I will get there. Fins break the surface of the water. I pull my hands from the water and watch. More fins. The sharks are circling and nudging the sides, testing me. I become angry and hit the sharks with my oars; but, after a while, I began to accept that they will just be there. I've officially gone mad. I am scratching at my skin and tearing at my hair. I am this close to land!
I am at land! I get out of the boat and push it onto the sand. How am I ever going to get home now? I hear a noise. I stop and listen. I hear a voice, not loud at all. It sounds like a cat's meow. The voice asks, "Running Water, is that you?" I am overcome with fear. After all I have seen, the talking bush is the most exciting thing today! Except this is no talking bush. I jump as an old women comes hobbling out of the bushes. She looks me over.
"You are not Running Water; what has happened to her?" When I do not answer fast enough, she runs at me and dives, slamming into me really hard. The woman does not let me go. "Tell me what you did to her!" I stammer, "I…I…I…" She pushes down on me even harder. I scream. "I am only a kid. Get off of me and I will tell you the whole story about Running Water from begging to end."
At first she looks like she wasn't going to buy it, but then she drags me inside with her and shuts the door. Inside, I spill everything to her, even the parts I am not too happy about. Once I am done, she says, "Come with me. I will tell you my name after you touch this." I do and…Zap! Zow! Zoom!
I am gone from the house and back on Main Street. I look across from me and notice the caution signs on the house are gone. I turn. There is the library with the big gap.
Still today, I can't believe this story is true. Now I am a grandmother to a young woman named Tabitha. She took her STEM field trip there with her class. She wants to know what the library was like during my time. So I told her.
Oops, I've got to go. Tabitha's calling me!
Sixth grader Tabitha Oakes, Central Elementary School, Anne Arundel County, called upon her STEM field trip to create this story.

In New Zealand you won't have any problems trying to find a good food chain. Even if you are travelling by car from A to B, unlike Australia there are small towns approaching at least every 20km with fast food chain restaurants like Subway, McDonalds, Burger King, Pizza Hut and many more.

Generally the main cities will provide you with options to choose from, cities like Auckland, Wellington and ChristChurch. Infact, did you know that Wellington has more cafes and restaurants than New York with cafes, cafe-bars, brasseries and traditional and specialist restaurants. Cafes tend to be more informal during the day serving light snacks such as sandwiches, cakes, suasages and coffee with more extensive dishes served at night. Most even provide full breakfast, tea and cofee or brunch with some having outdoor seating. What if your someone who likes good pub grub, then your not out of luck there either, you can find good pub-grub in the cities and most major towns, particularly in Irish and English style pubs. Any Fish and Chip lovers? Well you won't be disappointed there either infact, you'll be amazed at how many places you can find that sell good fish and chips, they are sold almost everywhere mostly in Chinese take aways – with a menu so you can choose what fish or meal you want and they make it fresh so you can eat it hot too and from paper!

Rechanneling Investments from Private to Business to Nation-building | A Policy Brief
Since 2012, the economy has become one of the fastest growing in the world. In the process, even if the economy remains to be a consuming economy, it has slightly become an investing one. However, investment expenditure may tend to be confined to private gains as opposed to first, business gains, and second, gains in nation-building. VIEW PDF
Consuming economy and investing economy
From the expenditure point of view, the economy remains to be a consuming economy. From 2000 to 2007, the share of household consumption increased from 71% to 77% while the share of investment decreased from 22 to 17%. This went down to 72% in 2008 and 73% in 2009, at the time of the global financial crisis.
The description of the economy remained the same from 2010 to 2012 with relatively the same shares of consumption, investment, and government consumption. But 2012 was a turning point. As the economy began to outgrow the world, the share of consumption decreased from about 70% to the present 65%, while the share of investment increased from 19% to the present 25%. With the share of government consumption relatively constant at around 10%, what the changes reveal is that the private sector has begun apportioning more of its expenditure from consumption to investment.
The growth in capital formation has been led by sub-expenditure categories construction, posting 15.7% growth, and durable equipment with 11.3%. The average percentage share of construction in capital formation is 39% and durable equipment is 51%. So it must be true that either households or government or both has been investing particularly in construction and durable equipment.
Investment in private, in business, and in nation-building
Consider the following distinctions between investment for private gains, investment in business, and investment in nation-building. The expenditure on home improvement is an investment because the expenditure raises the value of the property. To the extent that the property is used as a home, or privately, but not as a shop, a factory, or an office, or other commercial or public enterprise, then the investment is classified as investment for private gains. Investment expenditure can also be in the form of buying financial instruments as those offered by financial institutions and those offered in the financial markets for stocks and bonds. As such, we classify the purchase of financial instruments issued by the private sector as investments in business.
Finally, we define investment in nation-building as expenditure on financial instruments issued by the government. Some examples include the purchase of government securities that finance expenditures on infrastructure, education, social welfare, and others that literally contribute to nation-building.
Investing in business
Given that not all can be entrepreneurs at the same time, this paper discusses further why non-entrepreneurial households invest more in private gains as opposed to in business gains. To the extent that lack of both accessibility and inclusion in the formal financial markets limits households' ability to invest for business and nation-building, households will tend to invest more for private gains.
The concentration of general economic activity of financial institutions seems balanced with income. In terms of accessibility and inclusion, the allocation of financial resources seems to benefit the National Capital Region (NCR) at the cost of the rest of the country. While deposit liability is savings to defer expenditure, loans are to advance expenditure. Hence, while deposits are leakages to the economy, loans are injections. In the NCR, the share of leakage is 67.6%, while the share of injection is 85.3%, making it a 17.7% net recipient of financing. The rest are the opposite. For example, Region 4A's share of leakage is 6.8%, while its share of injection is 2.0%, making it a 4.8% net benefactor of financing.
Instead of savings, which are investments in the financial markets through banks, households can invest through the securities markets. This would be the case of a household investing either in stocks in the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) or in stocks, bonds, and others in the Philippine Dealing and Exchange Corporation (PDEx). Whether households will do so depends on whether the rate of return on investment (ROI) at least matches the market's required rate of return.
It turns out that the latest estimate says the ROI is only 39% of the market's required rate of return (Dumlao, 2006) and the estimate in a separate study (Gugler, et. al., 2003) is not much different in the group to which the Philippines belongs. That is, for every PhP 1 of return investors get in the rest of the economy, they get 39 centavos from investing in the PSE.
In the case of a firm with a corporate governance of 0.40 in the Philippines, the unrealized asset and equity are the same as the above example, and in the process of conducting business, the firm acquires an operating revenue of PhP 100. Since the family manages and owns the firm at the same time, there is never a conflict of interest and so the family chooses the best investment ventures. However, the management expropriates minority stockholders by allocating PhP 60 for themselves and paying PhP 40 worth of dividends. Consequently, the ROI for each stock is 4%. The firm delivers an ROI that is only 40% of the opportunity cost of investment.
Another case is when that management expropriates minority stockholders by allocating PhP 36 for themselves, PhP 24 for social advocacy under the heading of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and paying PhP 40 worth of dividends. The result is an ROI of 4% that is only 40% of the opportunity cost of investment. Assuming the same distribution of ownership of stocks, the management distributes the PhP 36 among the six family managers at PhP 6 each. Distributing the PhP 40 dividends among the ten stockholders gives each PhP 4. The result is that instead of each stockholder receiving PhP 10, each family member stockholder receives PhP 6 + PhP 4 or PhP 10 as they should in the case of perfect corporate governance, while each minority stockholder receives PhP 4. In other words, family majority ownership donates to social advocacy as part of CSR but at the expense of taking from minority ownership.
To the extent that investing in business and nation-building requires participation in the formal financial markets and that evidence indicates participation in such markets is low, it is argued that the increasing investment has primarily been devoted for private gains.
Two important factors that make households invest more in business are entrepreneurial mindset and management skills. But even with such, investment in business is argued to be constrained by the investing public's lack of financial inclusion. But even if reforms are advanced to make the formal financial institutions more inclusive, investment in business will be constrained to the extent that not all in the economy can be entrepreneurs at the same time. The good news is that others can invest in publicly listed firms. But the incentive to do so is not promising because of the lack of corporate governance.
That is, even if the system allows for anybody to invest in corporate Philippines, the investing public will be discouraged given that the ROI will be typically less than the opportunity cost. The obvious policy recommendation is to improve corporate governance.
One might argue that government can only borrow so much and therefore can only offer so many government securities to the investing public and thus limit the size of the market for investing in nation-building. Thanks to the size of the gross international reserve (GIR). The government need not increase its debt to increase the size of the market for investing in nation-building. In "external debt management," the government increases the size of the market by increasing the part of the total debt that is financed by the investing public. In "active inclusion," the government uses the GIR either as a collateral asset or as direct source of finance in nation-building. The government has not used either.

CHAPPAQUA, N.Y. -- While Monday's announcement of Chappaqua Schools Superintendent Lyn McKay's resignation was praised by local critics, the news of her ouster was not enough to assuage them in their calls for more shake ups in the school district to more changes amid a sex-abuse case involving former Horace Greeley High School drama teacher Christopher Schraufnagel.
Parent Will Wedge held a press conference on Monday afternoon at the entrance of the Greeley campus to lay out a series of demands given on behalf of a group called Chappaqua FACTS (Families Advocating for Children and Transparency in Schools).
"Despite accepting no responsibility today for the many failures of her leadership, students, teachers and parents alike should see McKay's resignation as the necessary first step in a process that will lead to a thorough independent investigation of our district and a restructuring of its administration and the board of education," Wedge said in prepared remarks before a group of reporters.
Chappaqua FACTS is calling for the resignation of school board President Alyson Gardner over what Wedge called her "tone-deaf mishandling of the crisis," as well as her "documented contempt" for residents in emails that we leaked to the media.
The group also wants the school board to appoint an outside official as interim schools superintendent instead of allowing Eric Byrne, the assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction, to fill as the post temporarily.
"Byrne should be disqualified because of his close association to McKay and possible responsibility for the administration's failures of leadership," Wedge said.
Other recommendations include holding an independent investigation with outside counsel to be hired by the school board but directly managed by an outside group of town residents; settling all seven of the civil lawsuits against the district from student sex-abuse accusers; suspending Greeley Principal Robert Rhodes until the investigation determines how he handled the situation; and either offering counseling to current and former students, or paying for outside therapy if offers to use the former are declined.
"FACTS believes, above all else, that our community must heal, and that the right way to do that is to openly and transparently figure out what went wrong," Wedge said.
Wedge started his press conference on the lawn in front of the Ed Center, which is the district's administrative building. However, New Castle Police were called and asked for him to leave. Wedge then moved the press conference to a sidewalk on the other side of the entranceway.
Police were also called on Wedge when he interrupted board member Jeffrey Mester during remarks at an Oct. 18 board meeting. The board went into recess after Wedge interrupted and reconvened the meeting with a police presence.
Wedge, stating that Monday marked the third time in which police were called on the district's behalf, claimed that the district was trying to censor him.
Greeley parent Sandy Nohavicka, whose son was in the theater program during Schraufnagel's last school year at the helm, was on hand for Wedge's press conference.
Asked about McKay's resignation, she said, "I'm not surprised."
Nohavicka also said that she hopes McKay does not get a "nice chunk of change for this," referring to severance terms.
Wedge, meanwhile, called for McKay's pension to be reduced and expressed concern over the possible size of any exit compensation.
Criminal charges are pending against Schraufnagel, who worked at Greeley from 2003 to 2015, along with the civil suits against him and the district. Previous coverage of Schraufnagel can be found here.

Condorman was one of several films around the time that were trying to conduct a superhero spoof see the likes of Hero at Large (1980), The Return of Captain Invincible (1983) and tvs The Greatest American Hero (1980-2). However, Condorman is not sure whether it is a spoof or is trying to play it straight, and ends up just shuffling around on screen in an awkward embarrassment. Almost all resemblance to The Game of X (1965), the Robert Sheckley novel it is based on, which was written as a spoof of James Bond, has been thrown out the book features a man mistaken for a secret agent who becomes caught in an international caper but no comic-book/superhero elements. What the film instead ends up like is one of the Roger Moore James Bond films, especially Moonraker (1979), where the Bond series was taken over by absurd cartoony stunts and gadget set-pieces. The plot stumbles along in fits and starts it is never more than a hitching post for the gags, stunts and European locations. Much of the film gives the impression of having been shot in a hurry. The stunt team performs enthusiastically but the photography and particularly the process work on the various cars and boats is poor.
Condorman stars Michael Crawford who at the time was stuck in the decade-long career lull that came between his appearance as the nasally whiny Frank Spencer in the hit sitcom Some Mothers Do Ave Em (1973-6) and his unlikely rediscovery as a romantic hero on stage in the Andrew Lloyd Webber The Phantom of the Opera (1988). Phantom of the Opera fans tend to be surprised after seeing Condorman as Michael Crawford is still stuck in Frank Spencer mode here, playing with a whiny introverted effeminacy that more than gives the impression that either he or the character are in the closet. Certainly, as a hero, Michael Crawford is a complete wet blanket. On the plus side, the great and underappreciated Barbara Carrera adds her sizzling, sultry presence to the mix, while Oliver Reed glowers thuggishly as the villain.
Director Charles Jarrott previously made the disastrous musical remake of Lost Horizon (1973). Co-writer Glenn Gordon Caron would later go onto create tvs Moonlighting (1985-9) and Medium (2005-11) and direct the appealing pyrokinesis fantasy Wilder Napalm (1993). Other adaptations of Robert Sheckleys works include The Tenth Victim (1965) and The Prize of Peril (1983) both set in futures where human hunting has become regarded as a televised sport, and the future body-snatching/time-travel film Freejack (1992).

Arthur Rimbaud
The Transfixed - Poem by Arthur Rimbaud
Black in the snow and fog,
at the great lighted airshaft, their bums rounded,
on their knees, five little ones - what anguish! -
watch the baker making the heavy white bread.
They see the strong white arm that shapes
the grey dough and sets it to bake in a bright hole.
They listen to the good bread cooking.
The Baker with his fat smile hums an old tune.
They are huddled together, not one of them moves,
in the waft of air from the red vent, warm as a breakfast.
And when, for some midnight breakfast,
plaited like a brioche, the bread is taken out;
When, under the smoky beams, the fragrant crusts hiss,
and the crickets sing; how this warm hole breathes life!
Their souls are so ravished under their rags,
They feel life so strong in them, poor frozen Jesuses,
that they all stay, sticking their little pink snouts
against the wire netting, grunting things through the holes,
quite stupid, saying their prayers, and bending down
towards those lights of opened heaven so hard,
they split their trousers, and their shirt tails flutter in the winter wind.

Top Ten South American Codices
Maya codices (singular codex) are folding books stemming from the pre-Columbian Maya civilization, written in Maya hieroglyphic script on Mesoamerican bark cloth, made from the inner bark of certain trees, the main being the wild fig tree or amate. Paper, generally known by the Nahuatl word āmatl, was named by the Mayas huun. The folding books are the products of professional scribes working under the patronage of deities such as the Tonsured Maize God and the Howler Monkey Gods. The Maya developed their huun-paper around the 5th century, which is roughly the same time that the codex became predominant over the scroll in the Roman world. However, Maya paper was more durable and a better writing surface than papyrus. The codices have been named for the cities where they eventually settled. The Dresden codex is generally considered the most important of the few that survive. In the words of Michael Coe, "Our knowledge of ancient Maya thought must represent only a tiny fraction of the whole picture, for of the thousands of books in which the full extent of their learning and ritual was recorded, only four have survived to modern times (as though all that posterity knew of ourselves were to be based upon three prayer books and Pilgrim's Progress)."
- The Dresden Codex (Codex Dresdensis)
The Dresden Codex (Codex Dresdensis) is held in the Sächsische Landesbibliothek (SLUB), the state library in Dresden, Germany. It is the most elaborate of the codices, and also a highly important specimen of Maya art. Many sections are ritualistic (including so-called 'almanacs'), others are of an astrological nature (eclipses, the Venus cycles). The codex is written on a long sheet of paper that is 'screen-folded' to make a book of 39 leaves, written on both sides. It was probably written just before the Spanish conquest. Somehow it made its way to Europe and was bought by the royal library of the court of Saxony in Dresden in 1739. The only exact replica, including the huun, made by a German artist is displayed at the Museo Nacional de Arqueología in Guatemala City, since October, 2007. The Venus cycle was an important calendar for the Maya and much information in regard to this is found in the Dresden codex. The Maya courts employed skilled astronomers, who could calculate the Venus cycle with extraordinary accuracy. There are six pages in the Dresden Codex devoted to the accurate calculation of the location of Venus. The Maya were able to achieve such accuracy by careful observation over many centuries. The Venus cycle was especially important because the Maya believed it was associated with war and used it to divine appropriate times (electional astrology) for coronations and war. Maya rulers planned for wars to begin when Venus rose. The Maya may have also tracked the movements of other planets, including Mars, Mercury and Jupiter.

- Madrid Codex (Tro-Cortesianus Codex)
Although of inferior workmanship, the Madrid Codex (Codex Tro-Cortesianus) is even more varied than the Dresden Codex and is the product of a single scribe. This codex was likely written after Spanish arrival, and was the result of hastily absorbed imagery and text from several sources. It is in the Museo de América in Madrid, Spain, where it may have been sent back to the Royal Court by Hernán Cortés. There are 112 pages, which got split up into two separate sections, known as the Troano Codex and the Cortesianus Codex. These were re-united in 1888. This Codex's provenance has been suggested to be Tayasal, the last Maya city to be conquered in 1697.Links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_codices,
- The Paris Codex (Peresianus Codex)
The Paris Codex (also or formerly the Codex Peresianus) contains prophecies for tuns and katuns, as well as a Maya zodiac, and is thus, in both respects, akin to the Books of Chilam Balam. The codex first appeared in 1832 as an acquisition of France's Bibliothèque Impériale (later the Bibliothèque Nationale, or National Library) in Paris. Three years later the first reproduction drawing of it was prepared for Lord Kingsborough, by his Lombardian artist Agostino Aglio. The original drawing is now lost, but a copy survives among some of Kingsborough's unpublished proof sheets, held in collection at the Newberry Library, Chicago. Although occasionally referred to over the next quarter-century, its permanent "rediscovery" is attributed to the French orientalist León de Rosny, who in 1859 recovered the codex from a basket of old papers sequestered in a chimney corner at the Bibliothèque Nationale where it had lain discarded and apparently forgotten. As a result, it is in very poor condition. It was found wrapped in a paper with the word Pérez written on it, possibly a reference to the Jose Pérez who had published two brief descriptions of the then-anonymous codex in 1859. De Rosny initially gave it the name Codex Peresianus ("Codex Pérez") after its identifying wrapper, but in due course the codex would be more generally known as the Paris Codex. De Rosny published a facsimile edition of the codex in 1864. It remains in the possession of the Bibliothèque Nationale.Links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_codices,
- Codex Borgia
The Codex Borgia (or Borgia Codex or Codex Yoalli Ehecatl) is a Mesoamerican ritual and divinatory manuscript. It is generally believed to have been written before the Spanish conquest of Mexico, somewhere within what is now today southern or western Puebla. The Codex Borgia is a member of, and gives its name to, the Borgia Group of manuscripts. The codex is made of animal skins folded into 39 sheets. Each sheet is a square 27 cm by 27 cm (11×11 inches), for a total length of nearly 11 m (35 ft.). All but the end sheets are painted on both sides, providing 76 pages. The codex is read from right to left. The Codex Borgia is named after the Italian Cardinal Stefano Borgia, who owned it before it was acquired by the Vatican Library. In 2004 Maarten Jansen and Gabina Aurora Pérez Jiménez proposed that it be given the indigenous name Codex Yoalli Ehecatl, Nahuatl for "Night and Wind," although it is not certain that its creators were Nahuas.
Links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codex_Borgia,
- Codex Borbonicus
The Codex Borbonicus is an Aztec codex written by Aztec priests shortly before or after the Spanish conquest of Mexico. The codex is named after the Palais Bourbon in France. It is held at the Bibliothèque de l'Assemblée Nationale in Paris. In 2004 Maarten Jansen and Gabina Aurora Pérez Jiménez proposed that it be given the indigenous name Codex Cihuacoatl, after the goddess Cihuacoatl. The Codex Borbonicus is a single 46.5-foot (14.2 m) long sheet of amatl "paper." Although there were originally 40 accordion-folded pages, the first two and the last two pages are missing. Like all pre-Columbian codices, it was originally entirely pictorial in nature, although some Spanish descriptions were later added. There is dispute as to whether the Codex Borbonicus is pre-Columbian, as the calendar pictures all contain room above them for Spanish descriptions. Codex Borbonicus can be divided into three sections: The first section is one of the most intricate surviving divinatory calendars (or tonalamatl). Each page represents one of the 20 trecena (or 13-day periods), in the tonalpohualli (or 260-day year). Most of the page is taken up with a painting of the ruling deity or deities, with the remainder taken up with the 13 day-signs of the trecena and 13 other glyphs and deities. With these 26 symbols, the priests were able to create horoscopes and divine the future. The first 18 pages of the codex (all that remain of the original 20) show considerably more wear than the last sections, very likely indicating that these pages were consulted more often. The second section of the codex documents the Mesoamerican 52 year cycle, showing in order the dates of the first days of each of these 52 solar years. These days are correlated with the nine Lords of the Night. The third section is focused on rituals and ceremonies, particularly those that end the 52-year cycle, when the "new fire" must be lit. This section is unfinished.

- Codex Fejérváry-Mayer
The Codex Fejérváry-Mayer is an Aztec Codex of central Mexico. It is one of the rare pre-Hispanic manuscripts that have survived the Spanish conquest of Mexico. As a typical calendar codex tonalamatl dealing with the sacred Aztec calendar – the tonalpohualli – it is grouped in the Codex Borgia group. Its elaboration is typically pre-Columbian: it is made on deerskin parchment folded accordion-style into 23 pages. It measures 16.2 cm by 17.2 cm and is 3.85 m long.

- Aubin Codex
The Aubin Codex is a pictorial history of the Aztecs from their departure from Aztlán through the Spanish conquest to the early Spanish colonial period, ending in 1607. Consisting of 81 leaves, it was most likely begun in 1576, it is possible that Fray Diego Durán supervised its preparation, since it was published in 1867 as Historia de las Indias de Nueva-España y isles de Tierra Firme, listing Durán as the author. Among other topics, the Aubin Codex has a native description of the massacre at the temple in Tenochtitlan in 1520. Also called "Manuscrito de 1576" ("The Manuscript of 1576"), this codex is held by the British Museum and a copy of its commentary at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France. A copy of the original is held at the Princeton University library in the Robert Garrett Collection there. The Aubin Codex is not to be confused with the similarly named Aubin Tonalamatl.Links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boturini_Codex,
- Codex Magliabechiano
The Codex Magliabechiano was created during the mid-16th century, in the early Spanish colonial period. Based on an earlier unknown codex, the Codex Magliabechiano is primarily a religious document, depicting the 20 day-names of the tonalpohualli, the 18 monthly feasts, the 52-year cycle, various deities, indigenous religious rites, costumes, and cosmological beliefs. The Codex Magliabechi has 92 pages made from European paper, with drawings and Spanish language text on both sides of each page. It is named after Antonio Magliabechi, a 17th century Italian manuscript collector, and is presently held in the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, Florence, Italy.

- Codex Ixtlilxochitl
The Codex Ixtlilxochitl is an early 17th century codex fragment detailing, among other subjects, a calendar of the annual festivals and rituals celebrated by the Aztec teocalli during the Mexican year. Each of the 18 months is represented by a god or historical character. Written in Spanish, the Codex Ixtlilxochitl has 50 pages comprising 27 separate sheets of European paper with 29 drawings. It was derived from the same source as the Codex Magliabechiano. It was named after Fernando de Alva Cortés Ixtlilxochitl (between 1568 & 1578 – 1650), a member of the ruling family of Texcoco, and is held in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris.

- Grolier Codex
While the three famous Mayan codices were known to scholars since the 19th century, the Grolier Codex only surfaced in the 1970's. The codex, said to have been found in a cave, is really a fragment of 11 pages. It is currently in a museum in Mexico, but is not on display to the public (scanned photos of it are available on the web). Each page shows a hero or god, facing to the left. At the top of each page is a number, and down the left of each page is what appears to be a list of dates. The pages are much less detailed than in the other codices, and hardly provide any information that is not already in the Dresden Codex. Mayanists continue to debate its authenticity.
- Bonus: Manuscript of 1558
In Aztec mythology, the Centzonmimixcoa (or Centzon Mimixcoa, the "Four Hundred alike Mixcoatl") are the gods of the northern stars. The Aztec gods of the southern stars are the Centzonuitznaua. According to the Manuscript of 1558, section 6, these 400 'Cloud-Serpents' were divinely slain [= transformed into stars] in this wise :- of 4 their protagonists, Quauhtli-icohuauh ('Eagle's Twin') "hid inside a tree"; Mix-coatl ('Cloud Serpent') "hid within the earth"; Tlo-tepetl ('Hawk Mountain') "hid within a hill"; Apan-teuctli ('River Lord') "hid in the water"; their sister, Cuetlach-cihuatl, "hid in the ball court." From this ambuscade these 4 slew the 400.Links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centzonmimixcoa,
- Bonus: Libellus de Medicinalibus Indorum Herbis
The Libellus de Medicinalibus Indorum Herbis (Latin for "Little Book of the Medicinal Herbs of the Indians") is a herbal manuscript, describing the medicinal properties of various plants used by the Aztecs. It was translated into Latin by Juan Badiano, from a Nahuatl original composed in Tlatelolco in 1552 by Martín de la Cruz that is no longer extant. The Libellus is also known as the Badianus Manuscript, after the translator; the Codex de la Cruz-Badiano, after both the original author and translator; and the Codex Barberini, after Cardinal Francesco Barberini, who had possession of the manuscript in the early 17th century.

- Bonus: Florentine Codex
The Florentine Codex is the common name given to a 16th century ethnographic research project in Mesoamerica by Franciscan friar Bernardino de Sahagún. Bernardino originally titled it: La Historia General de las Cosas de Nueva Espana (in English: the General History of the Things of New Spain). It is commonly referred to as "The Florentine Codex" after the Italian archive library where the best-preserved manuscript is preserved. In partnership with Aztec men who were formerly his students, Bernardino conducted research, organized evidence, wrote and edited his findings starting in 1545 up until his death in 1590. It consists of 2,400 pages organized into 12 books with over 2,000 illustrations drawn by native artists providing vivid images of this era. It documents the culture, religious cosmology (worldview) and ritual practices, society, economics, and natural history of the Aztec people. One scholar described The Florentine Codex as "one of the most remarkable accounts of a non-Western culture ever composed." Charles E. Dibble and Arthur J. O. Anderson were the first to translate the Codex from Nahuatl to English, in a project that took 30 years to complete.

- Bonus: Codex Bodley
The Codex Bodley is an important pictographic manuscript, and example of the native Mixtec historiography. It was named after the colloquial name of the Bodleian Library, where it has been stored since the 17th century. While the exact dates of its creation are difficult to establish, judging from its content, it was completed shortly before the 1521 Spanish conquest of Mexico.
- Boturini Codex
The Boturini Codex was painted by an unknown Aztec author sometime between 1530 and 1541, roughly a decade after the Spanish conquest of Mexico. Pictorial in nature, it tells the story of the legendary Aztec journey from Aztlán to the Valley of Mexico. Rather than employing separate pages, the author used one long sheet of amatl, or fig bark, accordion-folded into 21½ pages. There is a rip in the middle of the 22nd page, and it is unclear whether the author intended the manuscript to end at that point or not. Unlike many other Aztec codices, the drawings are not colored, but rather merely outlined with black ink. Also known as "Tira de la Peregrinación" ("The Strip Showing the Travels"), it is named after one of its first European owners, Lorenzo Boturini Bernaducci (1702 – 1751). It is now held in the Museo Nacional de Antropología in Mexico City.

- Codex Mendoza
The Codex Mendoza is an Aztec codex, created about 20 years after the Spanish conquest of Mexico with the intent that it be seen by Charles V, the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain. It contains a history of the Aztec rulers and their conquests, a list of the tribute paid by the conquered, and a description of daily Aztec life, in traditional Aztec pictograms with Spanish explanations and commentary. The codex is named after Antonio de Mendoza, then the viceroy of New Spain, who may have commissioned it. It is also known as the Codex Mendocino and La coleccion Mendoza, and has been held at the Bodleian Library at Oxford University since 1659. It was taken off of public exhibition on December 23, 2011.

- Codex Cozcatzin
The Codex Cozcatzin is a post-conquest, bound manuscript consisting of 18 sheets (36 pages) of European paper, dated 1572 although was perhaps created later than this. Largely pictorial, it has short descriptions in Spanish and Nahuatl. The first section of the codex contains a list of land granted by Itzcóatl in 1439 and is part of a complaint against Diego Mendoza. Other pages list historical and genealogical information, focused on Tlatelolco and Tenochtitlan. The final page consists of astronomical descriptions in Spanish. It named for Don Juan Luis Cozcatzin, who appears in the codex as "alcalde ordinario de esta ciudad de México" ("ordinary mayor of this city of Mexico"). The codex is presently held by the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris.Links:

When we are doing beach clean-ups we always keep our eyes open for animals and check that they are okay, and sometimes we do special patrols to look for oiled penguins. Occasionally the animals are dead, in which case we will check for leg rings, flipper bands or flipper tags, and depending on the species we will record data and collect samples.
