ON 2 October this year, the European Convention of Human Rights was adopted into UK law as the Human Rights Act 1998. Suddenly, if newspaper hysteria is to be believed, everybody convicted of a crime could now get out of jail by claiming that their human rights have been breached.
Railtrack is planning to use it to challenge the threat of a £40m fine following the Hatfield rail tragedy; couples are trying to use it to allow them to select certain genetic traits in their children; and even Rosemary West, accomplice to notorious serial killer Fred West, is planning to use it to get her conviction overturned. But is there a real threat that the Human Rights Act is going to undermine the power of the courts, and will this affect convictions on the grounds of fraud?
While the actual document behind the act is a lengthy tome, there are really only two sections that have major implications in fraud cases. These are Article 6, the right to a fair trial and, less importantly, Article 8, the right to respect for private and family life.
Within Article 6, the section that is causing the most concern is the one which states that all trials must take place within a "reasonable time". Fraud cases can take a long period of time to reach their climax in court. Often, it takes years.
Stephen Gentle, a partner at Kingsley Napley, is working on a case that highlights the situation. He says: "The investigations started in 1996. The client was charged in the summer of 1998, and it looks like the trial will not take place before September of next year. So that's five years between beginning the investigation and the date of the trial, about events which took place two years before that." It is this delay that some are seeing as their ticket to freedom. Asil Nadir, perpetrator of the Polly Peck scandal, has been living in self-imposed exile in Cyprus for the last seven years. He now claims that, under the new act, because of this delay, the charges against him should be dropped because he stands no chance of receiving a fair trial.
But with the drawn-out nature of fraud cases, Nadir's is going to be one of a series queueing up to use the act to their advantage. Gentle says: "You can see that it's bound to be a fertile area. But having said that, if you can get a case to trail in under five years in Italy, you're doing well. I think that delay will be a big area."
Rosalind Wright knows all about the issues behind delay. As director of the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), she knows that almost all investigations are lengthy operations. Often, this can be drawn out further by other factors. It is not unusual for evidence to be in a foreign country, where it is difficult to obtain. Sometimes defendants can hold up investigations either intentionally or due to such misfortunes as ill-health. Wright explains: "I'm particularly concerned, because first our cases take so long to investigate, and second they take so long to try. This is a factor that I'm sure will become an issue."
For the SFO, however, a new issue has been thrown up surrounding the act. In September, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruled that three of the men convicted of fraud during the Guinness affair had received an unfair trial. Anthony Parnes, Jack Lyons, Gerald Ronson and Ernest Saunders were all convicted with evidence obtained under compulsion.
Compulsion orders allow investigators to obtain information from those who have confidentiality agreements with their clients, without them breaching any codes of conduct. It also allows investigators to ask those under investigation questions which must be answered. However, this provides a certain problem. If this evidence is incriminating, it could then be used in a criminal court to convict the defendant. This is a contravention of the act and, as has been found in cases brought before the ECHR, trials decided this way are unfair. Article 6 restores the privilege of defendants not to incriminate themselves, and any information gained by compulsion is not admissible.
Charles Flint QC of Blackstone Chambers explains: "The effect of Article 6 is to increase the rights of a defendant. It means the prosecution has to comply with the privilege against self-incrimination applied by the ECHR in the Saunders and Ronson cases."
So while the evidence of past cases may be brought into doubt, it is future cases where Flint sees most queries of this nature being raised. He says: "What one is looking forward to is the impact the act may have on future trials, and in particular future fraud cases."
But this is nothing new. As a signatory the European Convention of Human Rights, the UK legal profession was obliged to take heed of these rules anyway; the only difference was that it was not formalised in UK law, and any doubts had to be raised in Strasbourg. Section 58 of the Youth and Criminal Evidence Act, and Section 2 of the Criminal Justice Act prevented this kind of evidence being used in court long before there was any mention of the Human Rights Act.
George Staple, partner at Clifford Chance and former director of the SFO, explains: "If somebody has answered questions under these coercive powers, then they may have been forced to incriminate themself, and those incriminating answers may not be used as evidence against them. I don't think these are significant new issues that haven't already been anticipated in our criminal justice system. You could get cases struck out long before the Human Rights Act came on the statute book. Delay was an abuse of process and you could ask the court to stay the trial."
So while the media has hyped the introduction of the Human Rights Act, in reality the move is more one of focus rather than quantitative change.
For Wright at the SFO, it is business as usual. While rumours in the press suggest that the SFO has hurriedly been trying to finish investigations before the act came into power, the true practicalities of such action are impossible. Wright says: "Human rights is nothing new. We've been operating under a similar system for years at the SFO. There's been no mad rush whatsoever. You simply can't rush [investigations] madly, and it would be quite wrong to suggest that we ever did."
But the SFO aren't taking any chances, and all staff are thoroughly trained in the provisions of the new act. But even when it comes to the matter of delay, Wright is confident that there is little to worry about. "The word 'reasonable' is not laid down in stone; there's no particular length of time which is said to be reasonable or unreasonable," she says.
There are some areas, however, which will be brought into question. First, Section 8, the right to privacy. Prior to the act, there was no legal right to privacy in the UK. Now that there is, any investigations which are deemed to have breached that right will be seriously brought into question. Also, the nature of the very charges brought against defendants could be a cause for confusion.
Wright says: "There's been a suggestion by the Law Commission that such charges we use – for example conspiracy to defraud and fraudulent trading – might be so imprecise as to be too vague. Within the framework of the Human Rights Act, you may need more specificity."
For those convicted, or those facing conviction, the act seems like a gift from heaven, the answer to all their prayers. For those who practise the law, however, it would seem that they are more than prepared. It has quietly been practised for years. But, ultimately, it is not the criminal fraternity that the act was created to protect.
As Rosalind Wright says: "Victims have rights, too."

A cult was a group of individuals who possessed radical beliefs that were outside of the mainstream. They were known to possess tight control over their followers' minds, eliminating all forms of dissent from within themselves.
In 2154, T'Pol referred to the Syrrannites as a "violent cult". (ENT: "Awakening")
A small cult was formed on Bajor that worshiped the Pah-wraiths, believing them to be the true gods of Bajor. The Pah-wraith cult was considered a joke until late 2374, when Dukat released a Pah-wraith into the Bajoran wormhole, collapsing it, and starting a celestial war. A young member of the cult tried to assassinate Captain Benjamin Sisko on Earth several months later. (DS9: "Image in the Sand", "Covenant")

US carriers are expected to allow passengers to use smartphones, tablets and ebook readers throughout flights by the end of the year after US aviation regulator FAA eased restrictions earlier this month.
Until now, passengers on US airlines and most other airlines have been prohibited from using mobile devices during take-off and landing.
Shortly after the FAA announcement, UK regulators told the BBCE they will look into how the FAA rules can be applied to UK airlines.
Easa is to publish guidance shortly that will extend to all phases of flight the possibility to use personal electronic devices as long as the devices are in Flight Mode.
Current Easa guidance prevents the use of mobile devices on aircraft during taxiing, take-off and landing.

Under the new guidelines, bulky devices such as laptop computers will need to be stowed during taxiing, take-off and landing.
"This is a major step in the process of expanding the freedom to use personal electronic devices on-board aircraft without compromise in safety," said Easa executive director Patrick Ky.
The changes will be applicable to aircraft operated by European airlines.
In the long term, Easa is looking at new ways to certify the use of mobile phones on-board aircraft to make phone calls.
"Easa recognises the wide proliferation of personal electronic devices and the wish of the travelling public to use them everywhere," the agency said in a statement.

Starring: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Karl Urban, Rosamund Pike
Director: Andrzej Bartkowiak
U.S. Opening Date: August 5, 2005
Yup, this one just screams quality: a movie based on a
computer game starring The Rock directed by the
cinematographer-turned-director of Cradle 2 the Grave being filmed
in Prague. (Note my dripping sarcasm!)
Anyway, the game is of course that beloved 3-D shooter
Doom, which caused quite a splash back in the 1990s and was
recently successfully re-launched with a third version of the game.
Now to be honest, having wasted endless hours on the
first two games years ago (alas, my computer lacks the muscle required to
play the latest version), I think that Doom should make for a great movie
. . . if done properly, that is. (Think Aliens
meets Total Recall and you'll see what I mean.)
Unfortunately the movie being filmed right now seems to
be irking fans by throwing away all the plot elements that made Doom,
well, Doom. For starters, the whole Hell being opened up thing is
out the window to make place for an infectious disease (no doubt the
writer saw 28 Days Later) and so is the
Mars setting. According to reports, the focus would be on horror instead
of action. See this open letter from one of the movie's writers to fans of
the game.
Fine, but then just what the heck is
wrestler-turned-actor (ahem) The Rock doing in it then?
By the way, since The Rock quit wrestling he's been a
busy guy. This year we'll get to see him in about five, that's right, FIVE
movies. They include Be Cool, Spy Hunter, Doom and
Johnny Bravo (!).
Plot Description of Doom (2005):
Big screen adaptation of a popular video game.
Some sources:
about Doom:
Certain characters in the movie, such as Dr. Carmack and
the Dr. Willits are named for members of id Software (John Carmack and Tim
Willits, respectively), developers of the series of games the movie is
loosely based on.

Traditionally, Italy are known to be slow starters at tournaments but their win over England betrayed history. It wasn't a vintage Italian performance but they did do enough in the intense heat and humid conditions of Manaus. It's everything Prandelli would have hoped it to be. The Azzurri came away unscathed as no names were added to the injury list that saw the likes of Mattia De Sciglio and Gianluigi Buffon on the treatment table.
It wasn't only the opponents that the managers had on their minds but also the aggressive conditions surrounding the game. The Amazonia had to be the least fancied venue on the Brazilian map with furnace like atmosphere only adding spice to the game. Perhaps it was the advantage of playing in the Confederations Cup last year that aided Italy's cause; they experienced this sort of environment which facilitated their pre-game fitness plans. Italy looked much the more comfortable side even though England had the younger legs.
Heading into the game, Prandelli kept his cards close to his chest. He created illusions about potential formations in pre-World Cup friendlies to keep Roy Hodgson guessing. England, however, were buoyed by the news of the absence of Italy's talisman, Gigi Buffon. The Juventus man had been struck by injury and his deputy, Savatore Sirigu, had to face the call of duty. But Buffon wasn't the only injury casualty, Mattia De Sciglio's tournament is in jeopardy which meant Gabriel Paletta had his chance to shine.
Two players who by no means are regular starters were clearly identified as weak points to a somewhat make-shift Azzurri back-line. Hodgson would order his men to try their luck against Sirigu while his side's best asset – their pace – would mean Paletta was chasing shadows. While Sirigu flourished on the night, Paletta faltered. His lack of speed was evident and every time an English player ran at him, you feared the worst.
The Andrea Pirlo Show
How do you deal with someone like Andrea Pirlo? You can't leave him alone, that would be the footballing equivalent of tying your own pretty noose. Do you put a pitbull on him? Close him down every chance you get? England had the latter tactic in mind. Pirlo wasn't given much space but when you focus your entire attention on one man, you tend to lose track of the other weapons in the side; case in point, Italy's opener.
Pirlo's casual nonchalant step-over opened a world of space for an unmarked Claudio Marchisio. The Juventus midfielder duly obliged and his laser beam ripped through the English defense and into the back of the net. The maestro would keep things ticking throughout the game with sprinkles of brilliance that would lighten up your eyes. Even though he did play in a slightly unnatural left of centre position, his influence wouldn't wane.
English Pace Would Be Italy's Poison
With Sterling, Sturridge and Rooney in your side, you can boast of bags of speed; players willing to go direct and run at defenders forcing them onto the back-foot. And this would turn out to be the bane of Italy. They say you're at your most vulnerable just after you score and Italy did little to squash that train of thought.
A counter-attack that married incisiveness and raw pace would unlock the Italy back-line. Raheem Sterling, who buzzed around the entire night, released Wayne Rooney into acres of space and his pinpoint-cross would find an opportunistic Daniel Sturridge. It was a devastating combination of three of England's most potent attackers. You can heap the blame on Paletta, as most have done for allowing Sturridge the freedom in the danger zone, but this was as much a fault of the collective than the individual.
Matteo Darmian Justifies Selection
Every World Cup, Italy hunt for their Toto Schillachi, their Fabio Grosso but with the kind of shift Darmian put in, Italy may have found their star of this tournament. The Torino man was a constant menace down Italy's right flank and ultimately it was his combination with Antonio Candreva that set-up Mario Balotelli's winner.
With the onus of width firmly on his shoulders, Darmian didn't disappoint. The full-back showed tenacity and courage and was always a willing outlet down the flank in a team that has been starved of width.
Positives For England
It wasn't all gloomy for the Three Lions. Their performance on the pitch warranted praise. This is a young and relatively inexperienced squad and while it may not have the stars of yesteryear, there's plenty of promise for the future. The Liverpool duo of Sterling and Sturridge in particular showed heart and their undoubted quality with moments of excitement.
With two must win games lined up, Roy Hodgson will take heart from his side's performance. Qualification is still in within their grasp but the signs are there that they're up for two of the most important games of their campaign.

An Exquisite Marriage (Regency Makeover #3) by Darcie Wilde
Everyone knows Helene Fitzgerald will never marry. She and her wallflower friends may be on the rise socially, but Helene is still nothing but a sharp-tongued bluestocking who very publicly renounced her only marriage offer. Worse, her family is in serious financial trouble. So, how is Helene suddenly attracting the eye of Marcus Endicott, the Duke of Windford and one of England's most eligible aristocrats?
Trapped by his father's long legacy of mistakes, Marcus never thought he'd find a woman he'd want enough to risk his heart. But what began as a contentious friendship has transformed into a passion beyond anything he dreamed possible. Now, Marcus's old secrets are threatening to destroy everything Helene and her friends have worked for. Can any passion be strong enough to carry Helene and Marcus away from their pasts?
Publisher and Release Date: Intermix, May 2016
Time and Setting: London, 1817
Genre: Historical romance novella
Heat Level: 2
Reviewer Rating: 3.5 stars
Review by Maria Almaguer
This the final novella in Darcie Wilde's Regency Makeover series and features the most admirable of all the heroines. Three debutante wallflowers seek acceptance in London high society by re-making themselves both socially as well as fashionably. Along the way, Adele, Madeline, and Helene become good friends and make love matches all under the sponsorship and limited supervision of Deborah Sewell, a lady novelist with a mysterious air who lives alone. The first two novellas had open-ended conclusions that read like serials while this one ties up all the loose ends.
Helene Fitzgerald is the strongest of the three young women. She's smart, assertive, and has a backbone, yet Ms. Wilde also manages to show her vulnerability. She isn't afraid to speak her mind or show her intelligence. She publicly broke off a high profile engagement in a scandalous scene that has pretty much blackballed her in the eyes of society. And if that wasn't enough counting against her, there is also her family's extremely reduced circumstances.
Ms. Wilde writes well and she pays attention to several historical details; however, the ending is a little too neat and twee. In fact, my only issue with this entire series is the rather caricaturish portrayal of secondary characters who get in the way of the heroines' success; and in all three circumstances, it's their families. As a result, the stories sometime come across as overly dramatic and unrealistic. If this doesn't bother you, you could say they have an almost fairytale-like quality.
Marcus, the Duke of Windford, makes a very worthy hero. He has successfully revived his title and brought it back to sound financial footing as well as rectified the repercussions of his father's mistakes. But the dukedom is his entire life and all that he knows. Ms. Wilde creates an exciting and well-developed banter between Marcus and Helene that realistically depicts their growing romantic relationship. I especially like how Helene offers up an alternative path for Marcus and challenges him to dare to pursue it.
The secondary storyline about Marcus' young protégé is a touching subplot that mirrors Marcus' own self-discovery and purpose. But the conflict that threatens Helene and Marcus' relationship is a little strained, predictable, and melodramatic.
I have read the entire series and I still think Ms. Wilde should write the story of Deborah Sewell who, in this novella, takes almost a backseat to the forceful and determined Helene. If you like stories about quiet heroines overcoming adversity, you will enjoy this story and this series.

Los Angeles Lakers, Kobe Bryant, Kick It Up a Notch at Playoff TimeMay 19, 2010
Champions are noted for kicking their game up a notch as the competition intensifies and titles beckon on the horizon.
All too often experts and fans jump to early erroneous conclusions. This is the case with the 2009-2010 edition of the L.A. Lakers.
The wily, smiling Phil Jackson was questioned by Craig Sager about why Kobe Bryant was not taking charge in the early stages of a first round playoff contest on the road against a talented young Oklahoma City team.
He explained that Bryant was supposed to be bringing the team more into the picture. Nonetheless, rather than listening to a coach with 10 NBA championship rings, the second guessers wondered after the Lakers lost that game if Kobe might be over the hill.
Since Kobe Bryant at 31 is hardly pushing Medicare status, here was the argument: Yes, he is not chronologically that old, but his body had worn down from all those energetically contested playoff games along with the Olympics and other international competitions.
Actually the counter to that argument is what is currently resonating. Kobe is energized by stiff competition. The challenge is the thing, and the greater the player the more applicable the axiom.
So Kobe led the charge as the Lakers took apart the young Thunder team at the Staples Center and then won a close one on the road to close out the series at 4-2.
Then there was the series against the Utah Jazz when the Lakers were booed by the home town fans. The reason was that a big lead had been blown when the Jazz second unit got hot and outscored the Laker reserves, making it a close game.
Despite the fact that Kobe came back, assumed leadership reins, and guided the Lakers to victory, which the team then extended to a 4-0 sweep with two closeout wins at Salt Lake City, the doubters were back. Some were almost assuredly among those who had earlier wondered if Kobe was over the hill.
There would be trouble up the road from the Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference Championship series. The Jazz did not have the height to compete with the bigger Lakers but had exposed a softness in the L.A. underbelly. The Lakers bench would be tested against the fast-paced Suns.
So what happened? Lamar Odom had a brilliant game with a matching double of 19 points and as many rebounds. That supposedly over-the-hill guy Bryant had 21 points in the third quarter and 40 for the game in a 128-107 blowout that could have been worse.
Had Bryant stayed in the game longer rather than wisely benched by Phil Jackson when the game was in hand, few doubt that he could have reached or surpassed a 50-point effort.
Impatient experts and jumpy Lakers fans who have been spoiled by excellence, in the way that John Wooden's Bruins did to the Westwood faithful, fail to recognize that there are peaks and valleys even in the solidest dynasties.
No matter how great the star there will be moments and even entire games when the A-game is not there. Lakers fans, if there were no peaks and valleys to make the game more interesting, you would be falling asleep. Even Jack Nicholson would fall asleep.
The wily Phil Jackson knows that this is a team game. Players like Lamar Odom, sharpshooter Derek Fisher, and the strong while agile Pau Gasol are there to augment the magnificent talent of Kobe Bryant.
As Bryant said in a recent interview, he stands ready to take charge at the end of a game if need be. Guess who told him that? A hint: He is tall, wears glasses, has white hair, and sits on the Lakers bench.
Bryant's comment echoed what commentator Mark Jackson said recently:
"At the end of the game you put the ball in the hands of your best player and live with the result."

Alright, I bet you have seen the cards where the image appears to move. I can tell you the first time I saw this stamp set in motion was at OnStage in Savannah this past Spring. We were all "ooing and ahhing" when it was demonstrated. I couldn't wait to make a card with it.
However, this set was not on the demonstrator pre-order, so I had to wait until the first week of June.
Here's a little video…
This is an awesome interactive card!
Waiting to fly…
A glamour close up
The new Circle Tab Punch and the stamp set Tabs for Everything make the perfect tab to pull to make the butterfly flutter.
Here's the Stuff 'N Digits for this interactive card…
- Paper: Thick Whisper White, Old Olive, Pool Party Cardstock plus Petal Garden Designer Series Paper Stack
- Ink: Calypso Coral, Bermuda Bay and Pool Party
- Stamps: You Move Me and Tabs for Everything
- Tools 'N Embellishments: Circle Tab Punch, 3/4″ Circle Punch, Move Me Thinlits Dies, Linen Thread, 3/8″ Pool Party Ribbon,
- The Pool Party base card is 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, scored, folded and burnished at 4-1/4″
- Cut the shutters and the tab opening with thinlit dies. Use the Precision Plate for the shutter opening. Add Strip Adhesive along the left side and along the right side of the shutter opening and at the right card side. This creates a channel for the butterfly to move easily up and down.
- Color the sentiment stamp with marker and stamp on scrap Thick Whisper White CS. Trim to 1-1/8″ x 2-5/8″. Add under shutter with SNAIL.
- Cut a piece of Old Olive CS 2″ x 4″. Cut the DSP 1-7/8″ x 3-7/8″. Add to Old Olive with SNAIL. Add a piece of ribbon to top of this layer attaching with SNAIL at back. Make a bow with several loops tying in center with Linen Thread. Add over ribbon band with glue dots. Add both layers to card front with SNAIL.
- Cut butterfly from Thick Whisper White using thinlits. Add to card front with dimensionals.
- Cut the butterfly panel 3″ x 4-1/8″. Stamp larger butterfly slightly lower than center in darkest color. Add lighter color aligning in the spaces between the darker shade. If you don't get it perfect, the butterfly will still fly…not to worry.
- Punch the tab with Tab Punch from Calypso Coral. Stamp on scrap Whisper White the arrow and the word "this". Punch with 3/4″ circle punch and add to tab with SNAIL. Add tab to top of butterfly piece with SNAIL.
For the biggest smile, pull the butterfly up and watch it flutter!
I'm not sure who designs these stamps, but I'm pretty sure they are amazing people.
Here's your "B-ism" for today…
so don't
Stay inky…Be HaPpY!

SCHMIDT, Maria Auxiliadora Moreira dos Santos. Teacher manuals for History education and the constitution of the Brazilian History disciplinary code: 1935-1952. História [online]. 2011, vol.30, n.2, pp.126-143. ISSN 1980-4369. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0101-90742011000200007.
In this study, the sources of investigation were three manuals produced by History education teachers and published in 1935 (two manuals) and 1952 (one manual), as a result of two educational reforms: the Francisco Campos Reform (1931) and The Secondary School Organic Law - Capanema Reform. Recent research (CHOPPIN, 1998), has shown that these didactic manuals are outstanding elements in school institutions, and are considered important and substantial sources in the History of Education. Thus the objects of analysis were manuals directed toward the education of teachers, which because of their nature and content, are recognized as different from the students' textbooks. Understood as the "visible texts of the History Education Disciplinary Code" (FERNANDEZ CUESTA, 1998), these manuals were revealed as indicative of determined ways of thinking and the shared sentiment of the professional practice. Also, they permitted the distinguishing of evidence of the ways in which certain representations of History were conceived as scholarly knowledge. Therefore, the analysis of these three manuals allowed for the systematization of questions, such as certain conceptions of History, as well as "a practical-technical" knowledge or a set of teaching principles and strategies. This information suggests that this History with Pedagogy constituted the foundation of a new subject, History Education, and possibly that many of its elements started to contribute to the development of the professional identity of the History teacher in Brazil.
Keywords : History education manuals; History teaching; History disciplinary code.

Around 100 teenagers took part in the annual Spring Harvest Festival at Butlins Holiday Centre, joining the Coastal Access for All (CAFA) group in a one-off sand clearance and beach clean-up on Tuesday, April. 15.
The organisers of the inter-denominational Christian Festival approached CAFA earlier this year and wanted to get involved in something to help the community. CAFA welcomed the idea and went about arranging the day with the help of equipment from Gibraltar Point Nature Reserve.
Paul Marshall of CAFA and Pastor Dave Middleton from the Storehouse Church, Skegness were present to welcome the youngsters.
Paul Marshall said: "when I entered one of the buildings in Butlins where the volunteers had gathered, I was amazed by the number of teenagers who were so enthusiastic about picking up rubbish on the beach and they gave us a wonderful welcome."
After a short briefing, the volunteers collected the equipment and headed off to the beach. Some picked up shovels and cleared sand from the walkways around the back gate area, whilst others took their litter pickers and council supplied blue plastic bags and went about clearing the beach of litter.
On a sunny day, organisers said a joyful time was had, with teams of volunteers bursting into song at any time.
Security at the back gate were overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the youngsters and holiday makers were all very appreciative of all the hard work being put in.
Over 20 large plastic bags of litter were collected, besides a number of containers washed ashore and pieces of metal and wood that were found.
CAFA wish to thank all the youngsters who took part and the participants from the Spring Harvest Festival for helping to arrange the day,
CAFA also thank Pastor Dave and the Storehouse Church for their sponsorship and support and for paving the way for the event to take place.
"When they said we could have anything up to 100 youngsters keen to get involved I didn't expect to see a 100 volunteers. It was just amazing and a memorable day and hopefully we can do it all again next year."

etour | My OHIO Portal
Fales, a Loehr professor emeritus of industrial technology in the Russ College of Engineering and Technology, died Sunday at O'Bleness Memorial Hospital due to complications following a massive stroke. Fales, 66, suffered the stroke July 21 while on a mission trip in Romania with his wife, Sharon. He was airlifted to Vienna for treatment before returning to Athens this past weekend.
A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. Friday, Aug. 8, at Albany Baptist Church; friends may call one hour prior to the service. Friends also may call from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 7, at Jagers and Sons Funeral Home in Athens.
"Jim was full of energy and had a real zest for life," said Pete Klein, chair of the Russ College's Department of Industrial Technology. "His work ethic and commitment to students as well as alumni serve as a role model for all faculty."
Fales joined Ohio University in 1986 as a professor and chair of the Department of Industrial Technology. He significantly increased the department's involvement with industry and coined the phrase "current and relevant" as a foundation for all decisions: "If it is not current, we are teaching history; and if it is not relevant, why are we teaching it?"
Fales also served as director of the Center for Automatic Identification, which was the nation's first university-based research center devoted to the study of automatic identification and data capture. Founded by Fales in 1988, the lab now supports research and education on topics such as bar coding, magnetic-stripe and voice-recognition technology, and radio frequency identification.
"Under his 20-year leadership, the department made continuous improvements to meet the ongoing needs of students as well as industry," Klein said. "Through Jim's outreach to industry, the department has many business partners that hire our graduates and support our program financially as well as with donations of materials and equipment for student use."
Fales also was the driving force behind the university's Automatic Identification and Data Collection Technical Institute, which was in session at the time of his stroke.
"There is an odd paradox that people from around the world were gathered in Athens, Ohio, for a week participating in a first-class pursuit of knowledge that Dr. Fales established 22 years ago," said Tom Schaefer, a longtime friend and member of the Department of Industrial Technology advisory board.
Among many fond memories, Schaefer recalled Fales' retirement party, in which the guest of honor showed up in a tuxedo -- accessorized by a cummerbund and wallet made of duct tape. A tuxedo was Fales' standard attire for his well-known ventriloquist skit, which he performed on several occasions during dinner at the Department of Industrial Technology's annual advisory board meeting. "We all felt like family, which was Jim's way," Schaefer said of the board.
Fales also was an AIDC-100 member, an honor recognizing 100 individuals who have most significantly contributed to the growth and advancement of the AIDC industry. The organization recognized him as "the pioneer university educator on the subject of AIDC and its use for improvement of productivity."
In 1998, Fales received the AIDC-100's Percival Award, presented annually to an individual or organization and recognizing outstanding contributions in the application of automatic identification and data capture technologies. Fales is the only educator to have received this award.
Considered the first professor in the world to teach a university class devoted to automatic identification, Fales loved teaching and working with students. He also enjoyed following the careers of alumni and frequently would stop by their places of employment for visits and tours. He led the department for 20 years and continued teaching each fall quarter after his retirement. He was named the department's Loehr Professor in 1993 and received the Russ Teaching Award in 2006.
Alumnus Keith Overton, another member of the Department of Industrial Technology advisory board, recalled Fales' knack for motivating students.
"He had the ability to make people want to learn and better themselves -- just something about listening and hearing what you had to say and always having some sort of positive energy level that hovered there when you talked," Overton said. "He seemed to know everyone who came through the department and could recall each one and something personal about them."
Fales also was a prolific writer and speaker. He wrote numerous books on technology, authored many papers, made technical presentations around the world and conducted notable automatic identification and data capture research.
Fales earned doctoral and master's degrees in education from Texas A&M and a bachelor of education degree from the University of Miami. Born in West Palm Beach, Fla., he was the son of Franklin and Ruth Fales. He is survived by his wife of 45 years, Sharon; and four children, Scott, Jennifer, Elizabeth and Mark.
Contributions may be made to the James F. Fales Scholarship fund. Checks should be payable to The Ohio University Foundation, with the memo line reading "James F. Fales Scholarship," and mailed to the foundation, P.O. Box 869, Athens, Ohio 45701.
