Missing Huguelys: And other damaging would-be witnesses
There couldn't have been a more critical moment in the life of George W. Huguely V, and one of his parents wasn't there to see it.
After a trial that lasted more than two weeks and jury deliberations that spanned more than nine hours, at just before 6:45pm on Wednesday, February 21, a light-bulb signaling a verdict illuminated, prompting a panicked flurry of tweets from reporters and bringing courtwatchers scurrying back to Charlottesville Circuit Court.
The now 24-year-old former UVA lacrosse player charged with first degree murder in the May 3, 2010 death of his one-time girlfriend Yeardley Love crossed himself and sat silently as he prepared to learn his fate from the 12-member jury. But with the possibility of a life sentence hanging, and tension in the room palpable, conspicuously absent was his father, George W. Huguely IV.
Even more curious to some courtwatchers was the fact that after the return of the verdict– guilty of second-degree murder and grand larceny– and before the jury began sentencing deliberations, not one person besides a lone member of his own legal team spoke on behalf of the newly convicted killer to recall any positive traits or to ask for leniency.
Where was his family when he needed them?
The absence of Huguely's father seems particularly ironic since he had been part of a pre-trial effort to win permission to attend the trial even though expecting to testify at sentencing. However, Judge Edward Hogshire denied the motion that would have permitted that.
The 56-year-old, who sports a haircut some have likened to Benjamin Franklin's, and who, court testimony revealed, had controversially been his son's drinking partner during a beer-soaked golf tournament earlier on the day of Love's death, had been a regular if lonely fixture around the courthouse on previous days. He had once been seen running over by himself and entering a side door, perhaps in an attempt to bypass the throngs of local and national media who'd been camped in front of the courthouse since jury selection began on February 6.
While he's avoided making any comment to the press about his son's case over the past 21 months, the elder Huguely hasn't been able to avoid making the wrong kind of news of his own.
In addition to facing foreclosure proceedings on his million-dollar River Road home in Potomac, the elder Huguely lost an eight-acre parcel on Morgantown Road in Ivy to Virginia National Bank last year. His own legal woes climaxed when he was arrested in Montgomery County after a dispute with two joggers.
The charge was driving while intoxicated after a September 20 incident in which one of the joggers reportedly hit his black Chevy Suburban. Soon after the altercation, according to the Washington Post, Huguely was spotted by police driving erratically and running a red light.
His trial is scheduled for April 3 in Montgomery County District Court. Huguely IV did not respond to a reporter's emailed request for comment, and a call to his son's defense attorneys was rebuffed by a receptionist.
"We're not making any further comments," she said, referring the reporter to a statement released the night of the verdict, a statement silent on the father's physical absence from court.
Huguely's lawyers, Rhonda Quagliana and Fran Lawrence, came under fire during trial from observers– she for illness and he for accusing Love of physical violence over a purse-smack– and the judge heaped opprobrium upon the defense for initiating improper information-sharing between witnesses. However, the lack of character witnesses may be explained simply as savvy strategy.
"If they'd had anyone testify at all about his character in a positive way," says Hook legal analyst David Heilberg, "they open the door for the prosecution to present rebuttal witnesses."
Such witnesses, Heilberg says, could have revealed several unflattering stories about Huguely's proclivity for violence before killing Love. Indeed, according to sources inside the courtroom on the night of the verdict, the prosecution had several female witnesses on deck plus the former UVA lacrosse teammate reportedly victimized in an allegedly violent assault by Huguely.
In February 2009– more than a year before Love's death– an intoxicated Huguely reportedly became enraged by the possibility that the teammate had kissed Love. While the man slept in his own apartment, according to the Washington Post, Huguely punched him in the face with this taunt: "Sweet dreams, punk." (The Post report noted that both Huguely and the victim downplayed the event when their lacrosse coach, Dom Starsia, noticed bruises. Neither man faced any legal action.)
Another witness that defense would have hoped to keep off the stand is Rebecca L. Moss. The Lexington police officer who encountered an intoxicated and belligerent Huguely, Moss later revealed that Huguely resisted arrest to the point that a "tussle" ensued as she tried to arrest him.
"I'll kill all of you," Moss reported that Huguely shouted as the 5'3", 130-pound Moss realized she was "no match" for the 6'2", 209-pound college athlete. She eventually wielded a Taser to subdue him.
So what does UVA think about all this? While the president released a statement following the verdict expressing condolences to both families and reminding peers to look out for each other, UVA took one other action in the wake of its only student-on-student murder.
All bios of Huguely during his four years on the lacrosse team have been erased from the athletic department's website. It's as if he never existed.Attached Documents:This story is a part of the Huguely trial coverage special.Read more on: George HuguelyYeardley Love

I thought this article would be more then the sum of the blogs. No new information. Don't bother even reading it. My guess is real simple - Marta didn't want him there.
The commentary on hair styles, such as the Ben Franklin 'do, is one of the reasons I love reading The Hook. I am not even being sarcastic. Great article, Courteney. I found it to be much more than a sum of the blogs! You truly are the gold standard of courtroom and true crime coverage.
The Hook newspaper is an absolute embarrassment. How low can you people go- Benjamin Franklin style haircut? You people are SCUM BAGS.
Have some sympathy.
The result of parents these days wanting to be friends to their children instead of being role models and real parents. Old man Hugely failed his son in countless ways almost insuring that something like this tragedy would happen. One has to ask themself where Georgie got all that rage from, ask dear ole dad.
Sarah (if that is your real name)- I guess you can be taken off the blog and delivery list. The Hook will stop charging you as well.
Why not apply for a writer/correspondent position with The Hook. I am sure that your perspective would be welcome. I would love to see what you have to say under a real name.
SkipD is my real name.
I agree with the first comment. From what I have read, there has been intense hatred between them and I can only imagine the mothers rage at knowing that the entire day (before the murder) could have been halted by the father.
I lived in CVIlle for 10 years and was there when this happened. First of all, hats off to Hawes/Courtney and Coy for their reporting. Some of it was compelling and yes, you have to insert certain dramatic points in story telling. It's not ..just the facts ma'am. I was also an abused college student back in the day. It was in the early 80's. In Upstate N.Y. He was also a "good guy" with an alcohol problem and I assume most bystanders would have assumed I provoked him. I was a pain in the ass. I was 17. He actually beat the living shit out of me IN FRONT OF police officers and you know where I went the next day..to bail him out and, he played the victim. And, I apologized. His father was a professor at the University we went to and I suppose he expected a certain amount of protection from that. The night he beat me..he slammed my head into the concrete street and I am more than lucky to be alive from that, but, there were no charges. It wasn't his first violent act. Nor, his last. And, boy did he blame me. But, we went on with our lives. I got a backbone. He left me for the love of his life. For 2 minutes. I don't know whether he still beats women, but I doubt it from what I have heard from other mutual friends many years later. And, I appreciate the woman who detailed her experience in an earlier article. There but for the grace of God. Or whomever you choose to believe in. There are no winners here. And, I'm sure the people who like to think of him being ass raped in prison vote Democrat and are anti Death Penalty. Hypocrites. The whole thing is awful and it could have easily been me or my now producing the Oscars shows ex. It could easily be you. Don't be so quick to throw stones. I've made more mistakes in my life, but I would hope the sum would be equal to the parts. And, yeah..if I was that mad and I was 22 and big and pissed and drunk and a dude with a sense of entitlement could I have done that. Yes. And, he will pay for it as he should.
Exiled off West Main Street- I appreciate your comments. The phrase "There but for the grace of God go I" has occured to me many times in this trial. We should be careful about throwing stones, because we may find ourselves in a position one day where we are judged severely. For example, a child is unattended for a few minutes and hits its head, the parents take the child to the ER and have their child taken from them and are charged with child abuse (happened to friends of mine). In the UK a house catches fire and in her confusion the mother runs out the door, it locks behind her and her children are trapped inside, die in the fire, and she is charged with the murder of her own children. A woman is driving a car at 80mph while talking on her cell phone and hits the car in front, killing both passengers. In Australia a older man tells a younger that he is breaking water regulations by using a hose, an altercation breaks out, the older man dies of heart failure and the younger man is charged with murder, crying in court as he is charged. While many here may think that they would not do what Huguley did, life can throw on us the most awful circumstances due to oversight or carelessness. Perhaps we should then not be so ready to judge others or delight in their punishment. If we do so, we cannot call ourselves human beings, for we are no better than wild animals
Jessica Jaglois of Newsplex has reported a fascinating interview with one of the jurors. The defense would have liked this to be seen as a tragic accident, and when people are unjustly charged for an accident justice is not served, but in this case it appears the jury had just cause to convict on the charge of second degree murder. I thank them for their hard work.
And thanks go to the Hook news team for the excellent radio and print coverage of this trial. The commentary by Mr. Heilberg was especially helpful in understanding the complex legal issues that resulted from multiple charges.
Thoughtful --
The difference between Huguely and the cases that you described is that Huguely has a history of this sort of behavior. He did not just make one mistake that night, he made mistake after mistake for years leading up to that night, and got drunk and violent over and over again. His first run-in with the law should have been his clue that getting drunk is a bad idea. Yet despite one drunken mistake after another, what was Huguely doing in the hours before he committed murder? He was drinking heavily.
Life did not through Huguely a curve ball; Huguely had plenty of chances to change his dangerous behavior, and did not do so.
B Absolutely correct. He had a pattern of drinking and violence. Noone stopped him, he didnt want to stop himself. This murder is his fault.
@B my point was not to compare the cases I cited with Huguley's case, where clearly the degree of culpability was higher. My point was simply to say that though we may take delight in judging Huguley or any other criminal, any of us could at any time be put into circumstances where we are judged severely, either because of wrong decisions or in cases like I cited, because we were not careful enough.
@ exiled Personal responsibility is the big
Republican mantra after family values.
@ mer, I think Exiled off West Main St talked about taking responsibility when in her last sentence she said "he will pay for it as he should."
Why Some women want to admit any blame when they clearly are victimized by drunkin bums escapes me. Maybe too conditioned by a culture that still sees women as the original sin. The male ego has put us where we are in the world these days, will we ever learn?
@Perspective - you have to be in that position to understand what it is like. There are many reasons why women stay in abusive situations - lack of self-esteem, lack of financial resources, that all the women in their family have been in the same situation, are but a few. And love and attachment tend to override any rational considerations. For me, it was a combination of all of those. I knew what was going on was crazy, as did others, but it was hard to break free.
And children that are abused often seek out abusive relationships as adults.
It's obvious that Huguely needed help with alchohol, he wrote in his letter to Love "Alchohol is Ruining My Life". Unfortunately, he didn't know how to stop, like any alchoholic. There was no evidence that he was violent, quite the contrary, until he drank, and found out what he had done later on (chokehold incident). Not absolving Huguely, he will pay, but there were alot of people that dropped the ball here in not showing him the way to get some help. Hope he gets rehab help in prison.
Ann you dont think threatening to kill a police officer, breaking ,down the door of a teammate and waking him with a punch in the face and having to be pulled away from assulting Ms Love in the middle of a group of people shows violence? He may well have needed help, but he certainly earned a couple of sentences for assult. The people who dropped the ball ddnt fail Huguely they failed Yeardley Love. Huguely deserves a whole lot more than rehab. Hope the Love family pursues a civil suit against this person and his enabling family.
cat, they can keep suing, but what will it get them? Plenty of lives are already ruined,and there's already plenty of loss and pain to go around for both families. To what end will a civil suit serve them? I don't know that there's any real satisfaction in 'winning',and nothing on earth is going to make up for the loss of Yeardley. Just wondering what good you think a civil suit would do.
Cat, if you do your research he did all those acts while very drunk, and had no memory of them. That's my point. There's no evidence of violence, except when he was drunk. He is paying for what he did by going to prison for 26 years. I was saying I hope he gets rehab in prison so he doesn't come out and drink again, as he admitted, he does things he can't believe and is a violent drunk. If he had gotten help for his drinking before this, it would not have happened. Many people become violent when drunk. Google "Blackout murders. Let's try to learn something from this. Alcohol was the predominant factor throughout the trial.
And Cat as far as his "enabling" family, his father called the police for domestic violence on him. Also day of the murder, friends who were treated to dinner with George and father all testified father told him to stop drinking. Alcohol cause more problems in society than any other drug.
ann, I agree. I think he didn't grasp the seriousness of his behavior during blackouts. It's a shame his wake up call had to come at Yeardley's expense. I guess you can get drugs and homemade booze in prison, but I imagine those things will be much harder to come by. And I hope he's finally sworn off. If this isn't enough to make him quit, I'm not sure what it would take.
And of course hopefully he'll also spend time trying to understand his underlying feelings and drives and all that good dark stuff rattling around under the surface.
ann --
Sorry, but blaming "alcoholism" here is wrong too. UVA offers help for students who have drug problems, including alcohol problems, and there are signs all over campus with the appropriate contact information listed. Even if he did not know how to say "no," there is no way that he did not know who to call to show him how. Huguely simply did not see anything wrong with his behavior, despite the fact that it led to him attacking people around him, even to the point of being arrested.
Sometimes, people are dangerous and need to be locked away to protect the rest of society. Why point to "alcoholism" to explain Huguely's behavior? Plenty of alcohol abusers manage to not murder people.
@B, and Ann - people become alcoholics because they have some kind of problem going on inside. I am not sure if you have ever lived with an alcoholic. Having a number of alcoholics in my family, I know that rarely do they see signs like you mentioned and seek help. There is a strong element of denial there, a denial that there is a problem. And if one is living in a culture where heavy drinking is the norm it can support one's perception that there is nothing wrong. And even if one does see that there is a problem, as Huguley did, it can be hard to reach out and get help. Usually they need to be helped by concerned others to do so. And for concerned others that is difficult to do as well - my experience is that the substance abuser is often resistant to any kind of help. This is not to minimize his responsibility for what happened, but just to say that this is a very difficult problem to deal with. We, as a society need to become better at acting on the red flags that we see. If anything good can come out of this tragedy, one thing is a heightened awareness of these issues and a increased determination to not just let things pass by.
why does this article say he was convicted of first degree murder?
It says "charged with first degree murder in the May 3, 2010" and "the verdict– guilty of second-degree murder and grand larceny" ie the prosecution was going for first degree murder but the jury decided on second degree murder.
As already stated there are all types of alcoholic behavior out there. Fortunately the vast majority of drinkers don't become violent as a result of having a few drinks. Unfortunately when some bozo's do, women seem to become the most common target. Easy prey. The mental health system is chock full of women who's lives have been shattered by male abuse as a result of alcohol use. One thing that I'm curious about is whether the alcohol alibi is a southern thing? In my view it should not be. A crime of this magnitude should have no excuses, alcohol or not.
@ Perspective. It's not about making alcohol an alibi, but acknowledging that it is a big problem in our society. The simple fact is that alcohol abuse destroys lives and we cannot ignore that fact. Alcohol, anger issues and other factors are part of the mix of violence jn society. As much as you may want to simplify it to "He is wrong" such an approach does not help us to deal with the problem.
Rod spared. Spoiled lives.
This horrible crime rests squarely on the shoulders of George Huguely, not his family or friends or teammates or UVA or alcohol.
However this case and thousands of other similar acts of behavior every day in this country should allow us to open up a debate on how some drugs and substances are legal and others are not.
Huguely had prior incidents of being drunk from alcohol and never spent any time incarcerated for those episodes.
Yet, every hour of every day in this country people of all ages are are being arrested, convicted and jailed for possessing or using marijuana.
Please help me find a story about anyone being high on pot who kicked in a door and choked someone to death.
As Todd Snider says, "it's not what drugs you're high on, but whose."
As long as you over-medicate on Big Pharma's drugs, or abuse the alcohol industries products which are freely advertised on ESPN, or get addicted to Big Tobacco's products, or Starbucks caffeine it's okay.
You can pop an Adderall, down a couple Jack Daniels while puffing on a cancer-causing Winston and then smack your wife. But, for the love of christ, don't you dare share a doobie with your wife while watching the Oscars tonight.
Thoughtful, I actually am an alchoholic and so was my mother. Several people in my family have had problems, and not because they had deep problems otherwise. It is a disease. Unfortunately it took me a long time to get help because noone ever took me aside to educate me about it. Everyone I hung out with drank too much. Again, not excusing Huguely, he did not get off because of the drinking, he's serving 26 years. Remember he was 22, not 40. I am a woman, but would become violent when drinking. For some people it totally changes your personality, Jekyl Hyde. It's a drug. Drinking too much is too accepted at college and after, and hopefully this case will make people have this dialogue.
And I do agree that there should be stronger enforcement of alchohol related problems for sure, instead of being let off or a short time of community service. It's a huge problem and very complicated for sure.
Good piece on the boozy lacrosse culture.
Ann you may be an alcoholic but I am pretty sure that you never attacked a police officer and threatened that persons death while you were drunk. I am also pretty sure that you didnt break down the door of a sleeping friend and beat them in the head. (Mind you this is referring to his teammate not Ms Love.) Disease notwithstanding, those actions make him a danger to society. If you had done either of those actions while drunk--would you expect a free pass from the law because of your disease? I dont think so. He was clearly out of control---AND there has been almost no talk about poss steriod or cocaine use both of which could have contributed to his rages. Again if you have a disease where when you drink or indulge you theaten to kill people and break into homes and beat people up--well you had better stop drinking or sniffing or injecting yourself. Again Ann many many people are alcoholics, very few of those same people threaten or commit murder.
An excellent commentary on the whole tragedy:
other ann, you're mixing up the accounts. I've not seen it reported that GH broke down any doors to slug the sleeping teammate that had kissed YL.And you can be certain it would have come up in the trial as part of his M.O. "This guy broke down the door just as he had done to attack so-and-so." So...he went into the dude's room and sucker punched him, but without the added fanfare.
And, GH and the guy he punched jointly went to the coach and reported their 'scuffle'-- according to this UVA statement.
Ann, thanks for sharing your experience. When I studied psychology, we studied alcoholism. The disease model of alcoholism was prevalent until the last 40 years or so. Now there are other models for understanding it and in some circles that model is considered outdated. Certainly to take a disease only approach ignores the social and cultural aspect. I know in the case of my father it was a combination of a certain culture (where he was taken to the bar for his first drink when he was 14), and extreme disappointment and frustration in life. My aunt was abused as a child and then abused for her husband, and I don't doubt that contributed to her drinking. My father, too was a mean drunk. He was the most gentle and kind person when sober, but when he became drunk he became mean, nasty and violent. When I got drunk I would become emotional. Alcohol affects people in different ways, but it certainly causes some people to become violent - there are plenty of documented cases of that. To acknowledge this fact does not decreases someone's responsibility, but helps us to see the dangers of excessive alcohol consumption.
To Thoughtful and other Ann. In my responses, I never absloved him of responsibility as he's got second degree. Just bringing, as the trial and all the witnesses did, the power and misuse of alcohol, whether a disease or not. Actually, I broke a guys arm who I didn't even know I had talked to one drunk night, had no idea until the next week, and did have physical fights with men that could have ended this way. In a recent article in Baltimore Sun about Love there was a report of how many violent assaults, accidents, etc. under the influence of alcohol that have come very close to this. It's epidemic. Alcohol does affect people in different ways, Did it have to come to this to get people's attention. If I had been somehow held responsible for that guy's broken arm, maybe I would have gotten help then instead of another 12 years of hell. Instead, it's just shrugged off in the culture of bingedrinking and blackouts in college and accepted. No consequences and no help. It's a tough subject all around.
Where is GHV residing now? Still isolated at the Charlottesville-Albemarle Regional Jail of has he been moved to his more permanent address? If so is he still in isolation?
He must be in the same place he's been, as he's not headed to the State Pen until after his sentencing....and even then it probably takes awhile. Didn't someone say it would be in the summer, following his April 16 sentencing?
I still don't know why George IV was barred from the courtroom? Article does not mention why hogshire banned hom?
Re-read the article Buck.
"-he had been part of a pre-trial effort to win permission to attend the trial even though expecting to testify at sentencing. However, Judge Edward Hogshire denied the motion that would have permitted that."
Witnesses don't sit there and watch other witnesses testify. Hogshire simply didn't grant an exception to that rule.
" father told him to stop drinking".....
....and, as is common, that didn't work too well.......and didn't for me when I heard it....over and over.....
ER and hospitalization for pancreatitis scared me, but, apparently, not enough...
....but then, years later - still alive and still in hell - I found this:
AA works if you go to as many meetings a day (24 hour "day") as you can......and then some.
In between meetings, figure out where and when the next one is. Do NOT decide not to go to one because the "type of" people who'd be there AND/OR the location of the meeting is "beneath" you.
If you're in a meeting with other addicts, you "know" each other in ways that will matter to your becoming sober.
If you have to, and can find them, go to AS MANY EACH AND EVERY DAY that you can find and get to. Distance and pride can NOT be factors.
Call people from meetings if you need to have someone hear you. And ONLY if they are also sober.
If you do all this, then your next step is: KEEP doing it until you know...KNOW... where to reflexively go when your mind relapses to tricking you into believing, for sure, that you have some type of control over drinking. You will not. But you will have control over what you do about it. And you'll get yourself to an AA meeting. whenever. wherever.
Who knows....you might be at one in London and realize later that night that the guy behind you (talking with another AA person about what he did that morning w/ his grandkids) was one of the superstars in a music group - whom you swooned over years ago. That he, while leading a meeting and telling his "story", speaks of an addiction he had not known how to stop....how his life had been as an active alcoholic and how it is now.
This is written in case one person "hears" what I'm trying to convey. I know you're out there and I know how you feel.
And you don't have to feel that way any longer. Truthfully.

The Alliance for Service-Learning in Education Reform is affiliated with the Close-Up Foundation in Alexandria, Virginia. In this article, the Alliance sets out a variety of key principles schools should consider prior to starting a service-learning initiative and provides many hints on how to design a program that will be educationally productive and run smoothly.
Service Learning in the Social Studies
The approach to service learning in the social studies explained here is based on the work of the Close Up Foundation and the Constitutional Rights Foundation in Los Angeles in developing Active Citizenship Today (ACT). ACT is a unique social studies service-learning program because it includes the analysis of public policy as a crucial step in the service learning process.

A regular exercise program is an important part of anyone's
lifestyle. If you have
osteoarthritis, check with your health professional
before beginning or continuing any exercise so that you can determine whether
it is safe and effective for osteoarthritic joints.
Stretching exercises will help prevent the stiffness associated with
osteoarthritis and help prevent injury. Strengthening muscles and ligaments
makes arthritic joints stronger and reduces stress on the joint. Stronger thigh
muscles, for example, take some of the stress off of weight-bearing joints such
as knees and hips. Simple exercise, such as walking, can significantly decrease
knee pain.
physical therapist sometimes is needed to help a
person with damaged joints or joint replacement learn the best exercise for his
or her particular condition.

The scene at the building site of Salzburg Cathedral in 1620 must have resembled a kind of Tower of Babel: there were local labourers, soldiers from all over Europe who had been separated from their units, and at the very centre an Italian master builder who directed the entire project with great élan. Santino Solari was evidently a very busy man at that time. He not only oversaw the rebuilding of the cathedral in Salzburg, but was also charged with renovating the entire fortifications of the city.
In the ensuing decades, many other Italian architects followed Solari's lead and came here to lend Austria the Baroque splendour for which it is still famous today. In Vienna, Filiberto Lucchese worked on the church at Am Hof and on the Leopold Wing of the Hofburg, Carlo Antonio Carlone rebuilt Upper Austria's St. Florian Monastery as a Baroque masterpiece, and Domenico Martinelli infused the Liechtenstein Garden Palace with splendour and dignity.
In the Baroque period, princes and bishops bought architects in the same way as football clubs buy foreign players today, and building à la italianità was all the fashion. One builder who left a particularly enduring mark on Austria was the Genoa-born Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt. Hildebrandt came to the imperial capital in 1696 and went down in architectural history as the builder of Belvedere Palace, the Church of St. Peter, Schwarzenberg Palace, Laxenburg Palace, Hof Palace in Lower Austria, and Mirabell Palace in Salzburg.
This unparalleled cultural exchange can be attributed to the artistically-minded Emperors Leopold I, Joseph I and Charles IV, but they were motivated by concrete political interests as well. They were determined not to be outdone by the magnificent buildings of their French archrival Louis XIV, the Sun King, and thus had their own splendid Baroque prestige buildings, such as Schönbrunn Palace, erected.
The Baroque unquestionably filled the veins of architecture in Austria with fresh blood. For too long, the country's builders had worked in isolation, without permitting any Mediterranean influences to "flavour" their work. The Baroque era marked the beginning of a cultural exchange that also included new trends emanating from Austria.
With the advent of Viennese Classicism and the magnificent buildings commissioned by Empress Maria Theresa, Austrian architecture spread to the crown lands. Austria's influence became even more significant in the second half of the nineteenth century. In the entire empire, now Austria-Hungary, the cities had begun to expand. Bit by bit, the city walls were razed, boulevards, plazas and squares were built and new districts were made accessible to meet the housing needs of a growing urban population. And the model for this development was Vienna, where the splendour of the imperial capital was manifested in the Ringstrasse and its grand buildings. The most renowned architects in all of Europe were brought here by the Habsburg court, among them Gottfried Semper, who had previously worked in Dresden and Zurich, and Theophil Hansen, a Dane who had fell under the influence of Classical architecture while studying and working in Athens and came to incorporate Greek and Romans elements into his work. In this period, the cities of Prague, Brno, Cracow, Lviv, Trieste, Zagreb, Bratislava and Budapest were given a "makeover" as well – and everywhere the so-called "Francis Joseph Style" became established, with its enormous administrative buildings, museums, opera houses and concert halls.
An artistic style that originated in Vienna and came to have a considerable influence on Europe and even America was Jugendstil (1890–1910). Today, the floral style of Viennese Jugendstil can still be seen on some of the residential buildings lining the city's Naschmarkt and on the Secession building with its characteristic gold dome.
Austria has experienced a remarkable architectural awakening in the past twenty years, and visitors can experience this as well when they visit futuristic buildings such as the Kunsthaus Graz, the Lentos Museum and Ars Electronica Center in Linz, and the hypermodern government district in St. Pölten. Austria's westernmost province has become a centre for innovation as well as the source of a new style of wood architecture in Vorarlberg that has spread all over Europe, one that aims for a symbiosis with the surrounding landscape, with the history of the region, and with the identity of the region's inhabitants. After all: "People do not exist to serve architecture – architecture exists to serve people".

These days, rapper Eminem is still a major musical force to be a reckon with thanks to a Number One album, "Recovery," and recent concerts with Jay-Z. But there was also a time when the Detroit rapper came very close to death when he was hospitalized for accidentally overdosing on methadone in 2007.
As he told Rolling Stone for its Nov. 25 issue, Eminem never really spoke about what happened because he didn't want to know. "I remember I got the methadone from somebody I'd gone to looking for Vicodin," he said. "This person said, 'These are just like Vicodin, and they're easier on your liver'... I remember taking one in the car on the way home, 'Oh this this is great.' Just that rush. I went through them in a couple of days, then went back and got more. But I got a lot more."
Eminem, who is also known as Marshall Mathers, didn't remember what happened in the time prior to the accidental overdose other than the day he was going to the bathroom and falling on the floor. The next thing he knew, he was in the hospital. "The doctors told me I'd done the equivalent of four bags of heroin. They said I was about two hours from dying."
He later said in the interview: "I knew I had to change my life. But addiction is a (expletive) tricky thing. I think I relapsed within…three weeks? And within in a month it ramped right back to where it was before. That's what really freaked me out. That's when I knew: I either get help, or I am going to die."
For his recovery process, Eminem sought help from a rehab counselor and started running—he even talked to Elton John. Asked by Rolling Stone if he felt tempted to use again, the rapper said: "Honestly no. For one thing I try not to be in a position where I could be tempted….I feel like this is the time where you stop doing that stuff. Time to grow up."
In other related news, Eminem was recently nominated for four People's Choice Awards: "Favorite Male Artist," "Favorite Song" and "Favorite Video" (both for "Love the Way You Lie") and "Favorite Hip-Hop Artist."

"Feathered Cocaine," from filmmakers Thorkell Hardarson and Orn Marino Arnarson, is a fascinating documentary about the illegal and lucrative world of falcon smuggling, that ends up exposing an even darker, widespread network involving royal Arab families, the oil industry, the CIA and Al-Qaeda.
At the heart of this film is Alan Parrot, who finished high school in the early '70s and traveled to Iran, to follow his dream to work with falcons. Here his real education began, as he honed his expertise and reputation, eventually becoming the resident falconer to the Shah of Iran.
As Parrot's reputation grew he exported falcons to the most powerful and wealthy of the Arab world, where the birds are prized as symbols of status and used during influential hunting parties. But Parrot's success unintentionally fostered a black-market for the birds that is unsustainable and has the birds on the brink of regional -- and perhaps global -- extinction.
Wracked with guilt, Parrot began a quest to end the black-market and slam shut, in his words, "the Pandora's Box I opened." The gravity of his culpability in what he started weighs heavy on his shoulders to the point of reducing him to tears. What he didn't realize was the enormous scope of the conspiracy and intrigue connected to his unique profession and passion.
The web of corruption, the influence of big oil, and Osama bin Laden's love of falconry are all touched upon in this film. The magnitude of ties the between illegal falcon trading and the role it plays in the funding and communication network of Al-Qaeda is astonishing. It's a complex tapestry of money, events and power players that the directors uncover and are skillfully able to connect the dots and tell the story.
"Feathered Cocaine" draws the viewer in gradually, leading them to territory they couldn't have imagined. Directors Hardarson and Arnarson expertly weave incredible footage, powerful documentation and explosive interviews to form an expose that will no doubt be a front runner in the best World Documentary Competition at the festival at the Tribeca Film Festival

A Modern, Multicultural Wedding the Greystone at Piedmont Park in Atlanta, Georgia
rn "We had a sort of traditional fall wedding with a twist," says Aparna Kumar (31 and a health care consultant). She wed Kelechi Nwoku (35 and a health care consultant) at the Greystone at Piedmont Park in Atlanta, Georgia. "The theme infused Indian and Nigerian cultures throughout, from the decor to the music, representing us and all the family and friends who joined us for the occasion. "The color palette was inspired by the fall season—we had rose golds, reds, rusty oranges, gray and navy-blue details throughout," Aparna says. After an outdoor ceremony by the property's lake, the 120 guests headed inside for the reception. Simple, cleanly decorated tables were topped with white linens and pops of burgundy. The airy, high-ceiling reception space allowed for lots of dancing–the couple hand-picked several traditional Indian and Nigerian songs, plus American jams. "Don't sweat the small stuff. As long as people are well fed and have drinks, everyone will have fun," Aparna says. "Instead, find ways to savor the day and enjoy yourself." —Carolyn Meers

Oil Skimmer Provides Removes Grease and Oil from Food Processing Wastewater
To avoid fines from government and municipal sewer districts, food processing plants must limit the amount of oils discharged into the environment. Oils and greases entering a plant's wastewater stream in the process line or during sanitary washdowns, must be removed continuously. The Model 8 oil skimmer provides a continuously operating belt and wiper that can remove up to 40 gallons per hour of oil and grease from water and water-based solutions. Depending on the characteristics of the liquid, the Model 8 oil skimmer is capable of reducing oil content to fewer than five parts-per-million in water.
Using an upper and lower pulley system, the oil skimmer belt runs through contaminated liquid to pick up oil from the surface. The belt travels over the head pulley and then passes through tandem wiper blades, from which oil is scraped off both sides and discharged. The tail pulley features flanges that allow the pulley to roll freely on the inside of the belt without becoming dislodged in turbulent applications. No bearings are needed; the unit does not need to be fastened to the tank. An optional tether and cage assembly is offered to prevent the tail pulley from being dislodged. The Oil Grabber Model 8 can be used in tanks with depths as shallow as one foot or as deep as 100 feet.

Glenn Blackmore passed away peacefully in his sleep the morning of June 20, 2013. Glenn happily celebrated his 96th birthday in February, numerous times, with children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Glenn Chester Blackmore was born in Arlington, Riverside County on February 28, 1917 to Clifford Franklin and Bertha Jane Bryan Blackmore. Except for three years when he lived in Arizona, Glenn spent the rest of his life in Southern California. He is survived by three sons, Ronald (Lois) of Riverside, CA; Raymond of Sierra Vista, AZ; and Walter (Karen) of Tempe, AZ; a brother Eugene (Ruth); and numerous (over 50) grandchildren, great-grandchildren (Who knows how many?) and even some great-great grandchildren. Glenn was preceded in death by two wives, Donna June Larson Blackmore (1917-1987) and Margaret Beth Kinsell Winterbottom Blackmore (1921-2012); a brother Carl Russell (1915-1998) and a sister Estella Marie Blackmore Gee (1919-2007).
Glenn spent his working career as a tool and die maker in the plastics industry. He was quite upset that he was not allowed to serve in WWII. When he tried to enlist, the US government sent him right back to work at Cannon Electric to make tooling and molds for aircraft canopies and other parts. In the 1950s, 60s and 70s, if you bought a plastic pipe fitting, chances were very good that Glenn Blackmore made or designed the mold to manufacture those fittings.
In his "early" retirement years, Glenn was deeply involved in the Silver Lakes community where he served as a volunteer with the environmental control committee and was also known as Captain Blackmore as he fished in the lakes, often with grandchildren. He was a great dance partner, whether it was square dancing, ballroom dancing, line dancing, or any other form of dancing.
Glenn spent some time each week keeping in touch with family members, sending birthday and anniversary cards, writing letters, as well as communicating by email. Glenn was a member of the Victorville United Methodist Church. He often attended Friday SWIM meetings and luncheons as well as the monthly Voyager luncheons at Church of the Valley. Glenn was known to many close friends and family as the original "Cookie Monster," a title he proudly acknowledged.
His love and caring for family and friends will be greatly missed.
A Celebration of Life service is scheduled for Wednesday, August 14, 2013, at 11 am at the Victorville United Methodist Church, Victorville, California.

Media's memo obsession has enabled conservatives to distract from Bush's lies about service
The media's fixation on the controversy over the authenticity of memos exposed by CBS's 60 Minutes has enabled conservative members of the media to discount the serious questions regarding President George W. Bush's National Guard service. The media's focus on the memos has enabled conservatives to dodge questions raised by the strong evidence indicating that strings were pulled on Bush's behalf in the National Guard; that he did not meet his service obligations; and, most importantly, that he has repeatedly lied about his service. As recently as February 8, Bush told NBC Meet the Press host Tim Russert: "I did my duty."
CLAIM: Service questions are meaningless if the documents are forged
On the September 15 edition of FOX News Channel's Special Report with Brit Hume, FOX News Channel contributor and Roll Call executive editor Morton M. Kondracke claimed that the "net effect" of the memo controversy is that "the draft story" (allegations that Bush avoided the draft by getting into the National Guard with the help of family connections) is "falling apart" :
KONDRACKE: I mean, look, the net effect of this [memo controversy] is that attempts to use this to hammer George [W.] Bush, the draft story, are falling apart. You know? It's still faithful, loyal Democrats, you know, will believe this to the last ditch. But you know, this assertion, at least, is falling apart.
On the September 14 edition of FOX News Channel's Hannity & Colmes, co-host Alan Colmes attempted to ask L. Brent Bozell III, president of the conservative Media Research Center, substantive questions regarding whether Bush "got special consideration" to "get in" to the Guard. Bozell used the memo controversy to dismiss those questions:
COLMES: Whether he [Bush] was there -- let me just ask the question. Whether he [Bush] was there or not, whether he got special consideration to get in. Rather than dealing with those questions we're dealing with whether these memos are real and what the typeset is.
BOZELL: And what I'm saying, Alan, is that it's the -- it's the height of journalistic irresponsibility to bring up those issues when they're based on fraudulent documents.
But as Media Matters for America has noted, former Texas Speaker of the House Ben Barnes swore under oath that he helped Bush get into the Guard, and Bush's Harvard Business School professor Yoshi Tsurumi said Bush "admitted to me that to avoid the Vietnam draft, he had his dad -- he said 'dad's friends' -- skip him through the long waiting list to get into the Texas National Guard." Neither statement has anything to do with the CBS documents.
On the September 15 edition of FOX News Channel's The O'Reilly Factor, guest Tony Snow (a conservative radio host) falsely claimed that the disputed memos are the only evidence proving Bush skipped a physical in July 1972 and thereby violated Guard regulations:
SNOW: And now, it [CBS News] also has the fuller problem of if the documents are forgeries, how do you make the claim that the story itself was true? After all, the story itself hinges upon what? Somebody finding out whether the president showed up for a physical.
In other words, you have to prove that he wasn't there. Well, that's almost impossible to do. The doctor is not around. So there's CBS left grasping at straws.
In fact, a separate, unchallenged document states clearly that Bush was suspended from flying because he missed his physical.
On the September 14 edition of his radio show, FOX News Channel host Bill O'Reilly agreed with co-host E.D. Hill that if CBS admits the disputed memos are forged, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) Web page highlighting Bush's false statements about his Guard service will be discredited. But only one small section of the page, which is based primarily on CBS's original story, relies on the disputed memos.
From the September 14 edition of The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly:
HILL: But if they say that [the documents are fake], and the DNC's website is basing their entire "Bush lied" page [a September 9 "Headlines" page bore this headline] --
O'REILLY: On fabricated documents --
HILL: On the CBS report --
O'REILLY: Right. There you go. See, it's all over. They lost. "They" being the DNC or whoever tried to push this phony stuff on CBS. They lost. Bush wins again. He wins.
HILL: Yeah, the DNC makes it -- hurts itself --
O'REILLY: Right. Right.
HILL: -- by repeating that stuff.
On the September 15 edition of Hannity & Colmes, co-host Sean Hannity repeatedly interrupted guest Carl Bernstein, the former Washington Post investigative journalist who first broke the Watergate story, in an attempt to stop him from addressing the substantive questions relating to Bush's Guard service record:
BERNSTEIN: [W]e're looking -- I think we're looking at a side show here. I don't think this [whether or not the documents are forged] is the real issue. It's -- the real issue is the war record of these two candidates.
HANNITY: I don't want to talk about that.
HANNITY: We're going to get into that.
BERNSTEIN: This is about journalism. Let me finish.
HANNITY: But wait a minute. Wait, wait.
BERNSTEIN: I would like to finish.
HANNITY: Hang on a second. I'm not having you here to talk politics.
CLAIM: Bush's honorable discharge means something
FOX News Channel hosts E.D. Hill, Brian Kilmeade, and Sean Hannity, NPR national political correspondent and FOX News contributor Mara Liasson, and WABC radio host and Landmark Legal Foundation president Mark Levin joined others in the media (as MMFA has documented here, here and here) both in repeating the irrelevant Bush-Cheney '04 talking point that Bush's honorable discharge means he fulfilled his obligation to the Guard and in dismissing serious questions about his service.
From the September 15 edition of FOX News Channel's FOX & Friends, during a discussion of the $50,000 reward being offered by anti-Bush group Texans for Truth for original information proving whether Bush performed his duties in the Air National Guard between May 1972 and May 1973 in Alabama:
HILL: Wouldn't you just have to show his [Bush's] honorable discharge papers [to affirm Bush's service]?
KILMEADE: You would think so.
From the September 14 edition of FOX News Channel's Special Report with Brit Hume:
LIASSON: [I]f the Bush campaign says the bottom line is he was honorably discharged, the official record [of his honorable discharge] should be the final statement on this.
From the September 13 edition of Hannity & Colmes:
HANNITY: We know he [Bush] served honorably. He served all these hours that he had put in the aircraft itself. We know that. It's documented. He has his honorable discharge. You see these attacks against the president. You see that they've gone to this Colonel Killian [alleged author of the CBS documents]. Now, we had Colonel Killian's son on the program Friday night, and he dismisses this as absolutely outrageous and wrong and inaccurate, and it was not his father. His father thought highly of him. What do you think is going on here?
From the September 13 Mark Levin Show:
LEVIN: The bottom line is George [W.] Bush served all the hours he was required to serve in order to receive his honorable discharge -- all of them. CBS lied. Dan Rather lied. They lied today. They were too anxious to assassinate Bush's reputation. They were deceived by pro-[Senator John] Kerry people and others. And they've destroyed whatever reputation that they have left.
Evidence that Bush lied is being ignored
Meanwhile, evidence indicating that Bush has misrepresented his record in the Guard has largely been ignored:
BUSH CLAIM: "I did my duty" in the National Guard.
During an interview with host Tim Russert on the February 8 edition of Meet the Press, Bush stated, "I served in the National Guard. I flew F-102 aircraft. I got an honorable discharge. ... I -- I put in my time, proudly so." Later in the interview, Bush reiterated the claim: "I'm just telling you, I did my duty.
EVIDENCE: Media reports found Bush didn't fulfill obligation to the Guard.
As Media Matters for America has documented, according to a September 20 U.S. News & World Report article, Bush didn't fulfill the "military service obligation" that he signed. Even using White House methodology, he still didn't attend enough drills to meet requirements. Bush also failed to comply with time limits on making up missed drills. The U.S. News article reported: "[D]uring the final two years of his obligation, Bush did not comply with Air Force regulations that impose a time limit on making up missed drills." In addition, Bush never made up five months of missed drills. According to the U.S. News article, Bush "apparently never made up five months of drills he missed in 1972, contrary to assertions by the administration." According to a September 8 article in The Boston Globe, Bush twice signed documents pledging to meet requirements and twice violated that oath. Finally, on September 16, Salon.com's Eric Boehlert reported that a "newly surfaced document (pdf) from President Bush's military file" from 1968 shows that Bush agreed to serve for five years as a pilot after he completed his Guard pilot training. But since Bush stopped flying at least two and a half years before this five-year commitment would have ended, as Boehlert noted, the document "offers more proof that Bush failed to fulfill his military obligations."
BUSH CLAIM: I flew planes in the Guard for "several years."
On page 34 of his 1999 campaign autobiography, A Charge to Keep (penned by Karen Hughes), Bush claimed that, after learning to fly the F-102 fighter jet, "I continued flying with my unit for the next several years," as Joe Conason noted in a February 2 New York Observer column.
EVIDENCE: Bush flew planes for 22 months.
As Conason pointed out, "[I]n May 1972, only 22 months after he completed pilot training, he [Bush] stopped flying," according to the facts established by Boston Globe reporter Walter Robinson in May 2000. Twenty-two months, not even two years, hardly constitutes the "several years" that Bush claimed.
BUSH CLAIM: The Guard "just had an opening for a pilot and I was there at the right time"
On September 15, journalist and blogger Joshua Micah Marshall noted that Bush was asked by James Moore during a 1994 Texas gubernatorial campaign debate against Ann Richards, "How did you get into the Guard so easily? One hundred thousand guys our age were on the waiting list, and you say you walked in and signed up to become a pilot. Did your congressman father exercise any influence on your behalf?" Bush responded, "Not that I know of, Jim. I certainly didn't ask for any. And I'm sure my father didn't either. They just had an opening for a pilot and I was there at the right time."
EVIDENCE: Others say Bush got preferential treatment.
As MMFA previously documented, former Texas Speaker of the House Ben Barnes swore under oath that he helped Bush get into the Air National Guard. According to The Boston Globe: "Ben Barnes, who was speaker of the Texas House of Representatives in 1968, said in a deposition in 2000 that he placed a call to get young Bush a coveted slot in the Guard at the request of a Bush family friend."
In addition, as MMFA also noted, Bush's Harvard Business School professor Yoshi Tsurumi said Bush admitted his father's friends got him into the Guard. A September 13 CNN.com article reported that Tsurumi said that Bush told him that family friends had pulled strings to get him into the Texas Air National Guard: "He [Bush] admitted to me that to avoid the Vietnam draft, he had his dad -- he said 'Dad's friends' -- skip him through the long waiting list to get him into the Texas National Guard." The videotaped interview has been largely absent from CNN's cable broadcasts, as Media Matters for America has also noted.

So is the pricing as noted in the Ultimate Orlando blog correct? They noted it costs $11.95 to make one droid, or $18.95 for two.
Please remember this is not aimed at consumers or collectors. Just like the build a lightsaber before it, this is aimed as a fun experience for tourists to do on vacation. It's not designed for the obsessed collector.
Thanks for all of the updates Pete.I am shocked these did not pop up on eBay yet as I have been looking. I hope some etailors or Disney themselves can help out collecting these. This will be a long haul to collect the series but eventually I can see these showing up at Toy shows and comic cons at jacked up prices.

Weave a yarn of warmth
There are plenty of places in the world where you can survive most of the winter with a long-sleeve base layer and jersey. However, if you try this and choose the wrong base layer, you'll find yourself pedaling back home toward the warm fireplace before you even break a sweat. That's why we recommend the Giordana Heavyweight Carbon Base Layer for winter riding -- it features precise fit, Italian design, and the ability to keep you warm and dry.
To achieve this, Giordana constructed its Heavyweight Carbon Base Layer from Dryarn fabric, a relatively new kind of polypropylene fiber. Basically, it was designed with a winter-weight denier that's been knit into a tubular construction. The tubular composition of the knit creates a varied density over the form of the base layer. You'll find that Giordana designed the fabric to be thicker over your chest, but thinner on your stomach; and thicker on the front of sleeves, while getting thinner around back. This not only provides comfort while riding, but the next-to-skin fit means that the fabric is more effective in keeping you warm.
Dryarn also provides moisture management in the base layer. As we all know, the warmer that you get, the more that you sweat. But, the question begs to be asked, where does all of the moisture go? If you are out and about in cotton, the answer is 'nowhere.' However, with the second-skin tubular Dryarn knit, moisture is rapidly transported away from the body. In fact, Dryarn's wicking capabilities are so immense that the base layer doesn't need a heavier weight in order to keep you warm. So, the minimal fabric weight promotes a greater ability to breathe, while actually keeping you warmer than most winter-weight fabrics.
The Giordana Heavyweight Carbon Base Layer is available in the color Black and in the sizes X-Small/Small, Medium/Large, and X-Large/XX-large.

Boeing 787 Dreamliner Catches Fire in London
No Passengers on Jet at Heathrow Airport; Cause of Fire Not Yet Known
An unoccupied Ethiopian Airlines 787 Dreamliner caught fire while parked at London's Heathrow Airport, reprising worries over the Boeing Co. flagship jet three months after it resolved battery problems that had grounded it worldwide.
Emergency crews were called about 4:30 p.m. local time on Friday and soon extinguished the blaze. No one was injured in the incident, which prompted airport authorities to halt flights for more than an hour at Heathrow, the world's busiest international airport. Broadcast images showed that the...

(Los Angeles, Calif.) - The veteran captains of DEADLIEST CATCH are back and this season the young deckhands and skippers plan to give them a run for their bounty. But can the captains keep them from taking over the wheel house for good?
From Thom Beers' Original Productions, the multiple Emmy Award-winning DEADLIEST CATCH returns for its ninth season at 9 PM E/P, Tuesday, April 16 on Discovery Channel. Adventure is their call, crab is their trade and a one hundred million dollar plunder could be the reward for their sacrifice.
This season the seven skippers and their crew are fighting through hell and back again in search of King and Opilio crab. But as the fleet faces off with the raging sea, they are quick to realize, that sometimes the most violent storms can come from within.
"This year a lot of young guys are trying to get a start, make a name for themselves. When you've got guys that are hungry, that's when things get nasty, that's when the gloves are off," Northwestern Captain Sig Hansen said. "Especially when you've got experienced and inexperienced people playing in the same sandbox. That's when it's a war."
Hansen, a 30-year veteran and a third generation fisherman, will match skills against his old rivals, Keith Colburn of the Wizard, the Hillstrand brothers on the Time Bandit and legendary Skipper Wild Bill Wichrowski who will return at the helm of the F/V Cape Caution. Young gun Captain Scott 'Jr' Campbell and his newly rebuilt Seabrooke will be there to defend his status as a legend. Meanwhile the youngest skipper in the fleet, Elliott Neese is all in this year as he returns as the owner of his own boat, the F/V Saga. With over $1 million dollars in the hole and ten bucks to his name the stakes have never been higher for Neese.
While the skippers wage war for crab supremacy, the youth seek opportunity. Time Bandit Deckhand Josh Harris attempts to keep his father's fishing legacy alive, while on the Northwestern both Edgar Hanson and Jake Anderson's quest for a captain's chair becomes closer to reality.
Forty-foot waves, hurricane force winds, heavy-machinery and massive icebergs are just a few reasons that no season is ever the same on DEADLIEST CATCH. Surrounded by death and a multitude of injuries these brave men struggle to return from man's oldest journey alive.
Also new this season is "The Bait," a series of one-hour pre-game shows, beginning at 8 PM E/P on April 16. "The Bait" will give an inside look at the episode ahead from the captains - where they'll talk fishing, drama and what to expect on that night's episode of DEADLIEST CATCH.
DEADLIEST CATCH is produced for Discovery Channel by Original Productions, a Fremantle Media company. For Original Productions, executive producers are Thom Beers, Philip D. Segal, Jeff Conroy, John Gray, Sheila McCormack . Series Producer Decker Watson. For Discovery Channel, Executive Producer is David Pritikin.

MOSCOW—A convoy of more than 260 Russian trucks reportedly packed with aid rumbled toward the border with Ukraine on Tuesday, but Kyiv said the goods would only be allowed in if they were inspected by the international Red Cross.
The tug-of-war over humanitarian aid to Ukraine's rebel-held eastern regions reflected deeper issues than just the need for food, water and shelter in a war-wracked zone where apartment buildings are being hit daily by rockets.
More on thestar.com
Russian signs on to Ukraine aid convoy
Russian intervention an 'invasion': U.S.
Although all sides agree that the aid is sorely needed, Ukraine and the West fear that Russia could use the move as a cover for sending troops into the separatist-held territory. NATO has warned about the risk of intervention, citing thousands of combat-ready Russian troops along the Ukrainian border.
In any case, tons of Russian aid moving toward Ukraine was surely a visual public relations coup for Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has so far resisted calls from both Ukrainian separatists and nationalists at home to send Russian troops to eastern Ukraine.
The pro-Kremlin Russian television channel NTV showed hundreds of white trucks at a depot outside Moscow and said they were carrying everything from baby food to sleeping bags. In the report, a Russian Orthodox priest sprinkled holy water on the trucks, some of which bore a red cross, before they departed.
A Ukrainian security spokesman said the convoy of white-tarped vehicles was being managed by the Russian army and could not as a result be allowed into the country. Officials with both the International Committee of the Red Cross and Ukraine's government said Tuesday they had no information on what the trucks were carrying or specifically where they were headed.
"This convoy is not a certified convoy. It is not certified by the International Committee of the Red Cross," said Andriy Lysenko, a spokesman for Ukraine's National Security and Defence Council. "No military structures have the right to escort humanitarian aid convoys, especially into another state."
The government in Kyiv said the Russian trucks could unload their contents at the border and transfer the aid to vehicles leased by the ICRC.
The Ukrainian government has insisted that aid must cross at a government-held border crossing. At least 100 kilometres of the long border between the two neighbours is currently in rebel hands.
Valeriy Chaly, the deputy head of Ukraine's presidential administration, said a suitable transfer point could be between Russia's Belgorod region and Ukraine's Kharkiv region, which has been spared the major unrest seen farther south. Chaly said that any attempt to take humanitarian goods into Ukraine without proper authorization would be viewed as an attack
The Russian Foreign Ministry later said the trucks were headed to a location between Belgorod and Kharkiv, as approved by the Kyiv government. It cast the blame for confusion over the trucks' destination on Kyiv, saying that it had agreed on all the conditions for the convoy's movement in advance.
Earlier, a spokesman for Russia's emergencies ministry, which is handling the convoy, said he "had not yet defined" where the trucks would cross the border. The spokesman, Alexander Drobyshevsky, said the trucks could be on the road for several days.
Ukraine has stressed that the effort to alleviate hardship in the conflict-wracked Luhansk region should be an international undertaking. Officials in Kyiv have said Russia's involvement in the humanitarian mission is required to ensure co-operation from separatist rebel forces, who have consistently expressed their allegiance to Moscow.
Russian television and news agencies reported Tuesday that 2,000 tons of aid was en route to Ukraine.
But Lysenko said suspicions were raised by the military provenance of the trucks in the convoy. At a briefing, he showed a covertly filmed video appearing to show similar trucks parked at a military base in Russia. One frame in the video showed uniformed troops lined up in front of one truck.
French President Francois Hollande discussed the aid delivery Tuesday with Putin, saying "he emphasized the strong fears evoked by a unilateral Russian mission in Ukrainian territory." Hollande told Putin that any mission must be multilateral and have the agreement of the ICRC and Ukraine, according to a statement in Paris.
NATO was following the situation closely, spokeswoman Oana Lungescu said.
"Without the formal, express consent and authorization of the Ukrainian government, any humanitarian intervention would be unacceptable and illegal," she said.
The Western alliance also expressed concern about the possibility of a Russian military operation.
"What we see is thousands of combat-ready troops from Russia being close to the Ukrainian border," NATO spokeswoman Carmen Romero said. "There could be a risk of further intervention."
The fighting between pro-Russia separatists and Ukrainian government has scarred Luhansk, the region's rebel-held capital, which had a pre-war population of 420,000. On Tuesday, authorities said the city's 250,000 remaining residents have had no electricity or water supplies for 10 days.
"Luhansk is under a de facto blockade: The city continues to be destroyed, and the delivery of foodstuffs, medicine and fuel has been interrupted," the city council said.
Throughout the conflict, Ukraine and the West have accused Russia of aiding the rebels with arms and expertise, a charge that the Kremlin has denied.
Peter Leonard in Kyiv, Ukraine, Lori Hinnant in Paris and Juergen Baetz in Brussels contributed to this report.

First Batch of Zeek Subpoenas Arrive; Victims Solicited For New 'Pay-To-Object' Venture
As promised last week, the court-appointed receiver tasked with recovering assets for the victims of the $600 million ZeekRewards Ponzi scheme (the "scheme") has begun sending out a first batch of 1,200 subpoenas to 'affiliates' that profited from the scheme. The detailed subpoenas seek a variety of information ostensibly related to the location and/or use of scheme profits. Meanwhile, the de facto voice of those leading the efforts to oppose the receiver, who earlier predicted that "there likely will be no clawbacks" and later characterized the subpoenas as "fishing for information", is now "offering" Zeek victims legal representation to object to the subpoenas...for a "simple and reasonable flat fee of $300."
Clawbacks and Subpoenas
In an update to victims last week, Kenneth Bell, the court-appointed receiver, indicated that he intended to vigorously pursue those who "profited most from from ZeekRewards." According to Mr. Bell, more than 100,000 User ID's were fortunate enough to profit from their investment with Zeek, which purportedly amounts to "hundreds of millions of dollars." Following that announcement, approximately 1,200 subpoenas were sent to those 'net winners' seeking a variety of information concerning their dealings with the scheme. The subpoena was accompanied by a brief letter from Mr. Bell specifying an amount sought, as well as his not-so-subtle statement that he was
"committed to pursue the full court process necessary to obtain personal court judgments against "winning" participants and recover all money owed to the Receivership estate."
At the end of the letter, Mr. Bell indicated that he was open to discussing the return of any false profits without the institution of litigation, and provided contact details for those interested.
The subpoena is quite sweeping in nature, and requests numerous documents in twenty-six (26) different document requests. A closer look suggests that the subpoena targets are not only Zeek investors, but also business partners, employees, and third-parties. For instance, request 4 seeks documents related to any work or assistance provided as an employee, independent contractor, vendor, or agent of Rex Venture Group ("RVG"), which is the parent company of Zeek that was charged by the SEC. Additionally, request 5 seeks documents related to any employment agreement or other contract with RVG, as well as any salary or compensation received.
Not surprisingly, the majority of the subpoena requests concern the receipt and use of funds received from RVG or any of the related Zeek entities. This includes copies of banking and financial statements, as well as documentation evidencing the purchase of assets with those funds such as boats, airplanes, real estate, household furnishings, jewelry, and any other assets exceeding $1,500 in value. Because money is a fungible commodity, the deposit of "tainted" funds from the scheme into an individual's bank account theoretically taints the entire amount of funds in that account, and any subsequent use of funds up to the amount transferred in potentially "taints" the ownership rights in that asset.
As is common in Ponzi scheme litigation, a receiver/bankruptcy trustee may seek possession of a high-ticket item without going through the litigation process if he is confident that the item was purchased with tainted proceeds from the scheme. While that notion certainly has its critics, these actions are taken in the name of equity, and are designed to prevent clawback targets from shielding assets beyond the reach of potential creditors. The scope and detailed nature of the subpoenas are no doubt implicitly designed to encourage settlement and avoid tedious (and expensive) litigation.
Victims Solicited for 'Pay-to-Object' Arrangement
The group that has openly opposed the SEC and the receiver's mission has also interjected itself into the subpoena issue. That group, Fun Club USA, earlier obtained approval to intervene in the SEC civil case as an interested party and appears to operate in tandem with another group, Zteambiz. An individual associated with the two groups, Robert Craddock, who himself previously acknowledged being the target of a SEC subpoena relating to his relationship with RVG and Zeek, has provided ongoing updates to Zeek victims that are openly critical of the Receiver's duties.
In a November 3, 2012 update, Craddock characterized the subpoenas as an effort to "fish[] for information" and "in my opinion, scare tactics." Expanding on that assessment, Craddock stated that
Next, I have been instructed by the attorneys fighting for us to inform you that any request you have received to voluntarily turn over any monies earned is just that a request. You are not bound to turn over any money. Why, you may ask and that is simple there has not been any judge ordering you to do so and the likelihood of that happening is slim to none.
Several days later, victims received an update stating that a Charlotte, NC law firm would handle subpoena objections for a flat fee of $300. This came as a surprise to some who were part of the group that had initially responded to a Zteambiz request to raise funds to retain legal representation to "allow us to hire one of the best if not the best firm in the country to protect us." This effort was apparently quite successful, for a chart on Zteambiz (since removed) indicated that over 6,000 victims had contributed at least $120,000. Besides the Notice of Appearance filed on behalf of "Fun Club USA," there has been no update or accounting for those funds.
However, a closer look at the engagement agreement to obtain legal representation for the "simple and reasonable flat fee of $300" raises several issues which should be considered by victims and could result in the incurrence of thousands of dollars in subsequent legal fees. Specifically, the agreement makes clear (in bold print) that the $300 fee only covers the preparation of an initial objection to the subpoena. However, the filing of an objection to the subpoena is likely the beginning, rather than end, of involvement with the Receiver. Under federal rules of civil procedure, the receiver may then set the matter for a hearing and/or serve an additional filing known as a "Motion to compel" which takes issue with the objections and allows the receiver to seek attorney's fees and further relief if the asserted objections are deemed by a Judge to be frivolous or designed to frustrate the receiver's purpose. Additionally, the next likely step after the subpoena, assuming the issues are not resolved, is the institution of litigation against clawback targets.
The retainer agreement is seemingly aware of this, and states that in the event the aforementioned events do happen, the "simple and reasonable flat fee of $300" does not cover representation in those instances. Instead, the client would be responsible for the attorney's services at standard hourly billing rates ranging from $200 to $375. Additionally, potential clients are informed that the fees generated may be shared with the same law firm that currently represents Fun Club USA.
Craddock has also provided a link to the Objection filed on his behalf, which consists of nearly nine pages of general and specific objections to nearly every subpoena request. Appearing to not provide any responsive documents, the Objection instead provides that, because Craddock had previously complied with requests from the SEC for documents, that Mr. Bell may contact the SEC for those documents.
