Fired Activision Employees In Talks With EA
On Monday, two studio executives that were fired by Activision and accused of inappropriately meeting with a rival company said that they would create games to be distributed exclusively by Electronic Arts Inc., according to the Associated Press (AP).
Jason West and Vince Zampella have formed Respawn Entertainment, a development studio, and its games will be published and distributed by EA. West and Zampella will own the intellectual property they create.The two sued Activision Blizzard Inc. for over $36 million in March, saying that Activision fired them to avoid paying hefty royalties for their work on the "Call of Duty" franchise.
The latest Call of Duty title has brought in over $1 billion in sales after breaking entertainment industry records at its launch last fall.
Activision filed a countersuit against West and Zampella last week claiming they were fired for good cause for insubordination and for attempts to poach key employees from the company. Activision said that the two met with a key gaming rival, which violates their employment contract.
The lawsuit states that the rival flew both to Northern California, where Electronic Arts is based.
Robert M. Schwartz, West and Zampella's attorney, said on Friday the countersuit's claims are "false and outrageous."
Financial terms of the deal with EA were not disclosed.

A British soldier walked over to the German front line to deliver newspapers; British women married to Germans became 'enemy aliens' in their own country; a high-ranking British POW discussed his own troops' heroism with the Kaiser on the battlefield. Just three amazing stories of contact between the opposing sides in the Great War that eminent historian Richard van Emden has unearthed - incidents that show brutality, great humanity, and above all the bizarre nature of a conflict between two nations with long-standing ties of kinship and friendship.
"God book but bit misleading."
Conventional histories of the Great War have tended to focus on the terrible attritional battles of Ypres, of Arras and of the Somme. What they do not tell us is what life was like for the ordinary soldier, what mattered to him, and how he survived, both physically and mentally. Now for the first time, one of Britain's leading military historians, Richard van Emden tells the story of the Great War exclusively through the words and images of soldiers on the ground.
The youngest soldier who fought in the Great War is believed to have been just 12 years old. Many thousands of other boys are known to have faked eye tests, inflated their small chests and stood on tiptoes to bluff their way into a war of unforeseen horror. How and why so many under-aged boys were able to get to the battlefields is a complex mystery of World War I, and until Richard van Emden's classic account, largely unexplored.
At the end of the First World War more than 192,000 wives had lost their husbands, and nearly 400,000 children had lost their fathers. A further half a million children had lost one or more siblings. Appallingly, one in eight wives died within a year of receiving news of their husband's death. Few people remained unscathed and the effects of the conflict are still with us.
"Poor Narration"
Harry Patch, the last British soldier alive to have fought in the trenches of the First World War, is now 109 years old and one of very few people who can directly recall the horror of that conflict. After a rural childhood in Somerset, Harry left school in 1913 to become a plumber. Three years later he was fighting in the mud and trenches during the Battle of Passchendaele. He saw a great many of his comrades die, and in one dreadful moment the shell that wounded him killed his three closest friends.

Landlords are being advised to purchase legal cover in their landlord insurance policies as a Government department prepares to investigate thousands of small businesses.
In the face of a mounting financial crisis the Government has instructed Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs office (HMRC) to scrutinise more closely the workings of small businesses across the UK. It is thought the HMRC have recruited 90 new inspectors to root out cases of tax avoidance and their remit will be to go out and check the records of over 20,000 small enterprises each year.
A spokesman for the Association of Small businesses said: "HMRC is planning to investigate many more landlords and small businesses this year, and is expanding its investigations on several fronts. The first is its controversial Business Records Check regime. The scheme was trial led in selected areas last year, and the Revenue is now preparing to roll it out across the country."
One of the trials focused specifically on landlords and property owners in the North East last year and the success of that initiative will probably lead to the net being dragged wider. The HMRC will look at record keeping in particular and landlords should be aware that their tax returns must correlate with their business records. If not they will be fined if the experience of those landlords in the North East is anything to go by. If a landlord does find himself in a battle with the tax man then adequate legal insurance is a must if he finds himself in a courtroom fight. It is quite easy to add different elements to ones property insurance policies and any good insurance company will provide a help line as a first line of defence.

hi everyone! can anyone tell me the pros and cons in general about visiting montreal? i plan on taking the amtrak from n.y.c. in may and stay for about 4 days or so. was wondering what to watch out for etc. thanks to all!!!!!
It's a great city. I'm sure you'll have a great time. Brush up on some French if you can for added interest. Although people seem to speak both English and French just fine in Montreal.
Be sure to check out the Montreal guide. Some good recommendations from Montreal locals in there
Montreal's a great city! My in-laws were here about a month and a half ago and they all seemed to have a great time. It's a little cold now (first snow today) but there's always something happening and there's plenty to do. I'm not sure what the cons would be, except that it'd be great if you could visit Quebec City, too--but 4 days is enough for Montreal itself.
Here's the Montreal tourist page, which will give you some idea of what's on. As Peter said, the Wiki Guide has lots of great ideas and info too. And if you'd like to know anything specific, just ask away!
We spent 4 days in Montreal and had a wonderful time. Definitely visit "Old Montreal" as it's steeped in history and also quite eclectic. Also, the hike up Mont-Royal is worth the view alone. The city itself has a lot to offer visitors including a great night life. The underground is very easy to use for getting around. I don't speak French but had no problem with language. Wait staff always spoke in English first. If my husband answered in French then they would continue in both languages.
We were there for a TP Meet-Up and Tway was our unofficial guide. Basically, we just followed her around like lost puppies until she gave in. As revenge, she took us hiking up the Mountain of Doom (said Mont-Royal).
Go and enjoy this great city.
amtrak from NYC, i did the trip the other way. Just a friendly warmnig the trip may take up to 12 hours depending on immigration and of course the one rail line which gives prioirty to freight trains. Took me 12 long hours, i would have taken the plane but it was too close to NYE for me to afford.
But yea, Montreal is a winderfull city and the metro can get u anywhere u want to go.

Da Vinci's Demons Star Tom Riley Teases New 'Sherlockian' Drama
If there's anything viewers should know going into Starz's new television drama Da Vinci's Demons, it's that it won't be what they expect. David S. Goyer's take on Leonardo Da Vinci's unknown years stays true to the artist's life while also expanding on his mythology.
Spinoff Online spoke with leading man Tom Riley about the upcoming series in anticipation of its debut tonight on Starz. He had recently come from the show's premiere in Florence, Italy, where Da Vinci's Demons is primarily set. He said the Italians in attendance were "so for it," despite the drama's deviations from known history. "It's very bold and unapologetic about the liberties it's taken," he said. Still, as can be seen in the interview below, Da Vinci's Demons also stays true to Da Vinci's life in many ways.
Spinoff: Are all of the inventions featured in the show actually ones created by Da Vinci?
Tom Riley: All the inventions are from his notebooks. It's absolutely astonishing. We went to a museum in Vinci [Italy] a couple of weeks ago — or no, last week — and it begged belief. We'd just watched Episode 4 where there's a particular construction that's huge and insane to look at it. You watch Episode 4 and you think, "Well, that's silly. What a silly idea." Or maybe, "That seems preposterous." And then you go to the exhibition and it's there. It was invented. It's virtually completely recreated. So yeah, they're real. It's quite extraordinary what his mind came up with all those years ago.
The thing is, we don't know how many of them were actually made and how many were just designs that he attempted and then didn't go through with. But for the purpose of the show, and then David seems to work at whether they would work or wouldn't or whether they have failings that would never be shown.
Da Vinci also has some daddy issues in the show. How did you guys determine what parts of his family history you wanted to depict?
It's well documented that he really didn't get on with his father. He had a very, very hostile relationship with him. In Episode 1, where Da Vinci's in the dungeon with his dad, that stuff that Leonardo is saying to him, that quite angry stuff, is actually nothing in comparison. There's a letter that was written by Leonardo to his father on the discovery — when Leonardo discovered that his dad had just had a new son, an heir — and it's brutal. I mean, it's brutal, angry language.
I think the producer actually said, "You can't say that. Surely that's not real." But no, he actually did that. It ended up being cut out because it was too harsh. Those issues definitely, definitely existed, and their fun to play. For me, it was what motivates this man. He was illegitimate, he couldn't join the guild of artists, he couldn't do any of that stuff, so that struggle for recognition that obviously plagued him for so much of his early life before he was finally recognized as the genius he is is obviously something that is [there], in a microcosm with his father just refusing to recognize that his son's achieved anything.
This version of Da Vinci has been described as part Indiana Jones, part Tony Stark and part Sherlock Holmes. What was your experience like getting to play a version of those three iconic characters combined with Da Vinci?
First and foremost, fun. But when David came out at New York Comic Con last year with that quote, I thought, "Oh, no! That's a pretty bold statement." I knew the scripts held up to that and I knew that what I'd seen of the show that seemed to be the case, but it's a scary idea to put out there.
Also, so much fun to play. To be able to always be the smartest guy in the room and play the frustration that comes with it, and to have those Sherlockian moments whereby you're building up to a big revelation and the audience isn't quite sure what it's going to be until they hear it, the idea that the Indiana Jones sort of swashbuckling, whip-cracking, slightly vulnerable type thing. There's elements of these great characters all combined in one, and then you add the greatest mind in history on top of it, you get this gem of a role.
There are some really gorgeous flight motifs throughout the first couple of episodes. What do you think they represent for Da Vinci?
Certainly it's symbolic to him of freedom. Nothing is worse for a man who's desperate to pursue knowledge and understand the entire universe than being cooped up, and I think the idea of flight and just being able to leave earthly concerns behind is something that really appeals to him.
Do you think fans will respond well to the supernatural and fantastical elements of this show?
I hope so. That stuff's really exciting. Basically the whole concept of the Sons of Mithras, which is the underlying mythological sort of … you could say supernatural, it's not necessarily supernatural, but it's the idea that all knowledge has existed previously, that the answers to everything have just been forgotten by mankind. When you've got the greatest mind in history, in order to create drama around him it can't be the usual obstacle. It has to be something that can't be explained and that really creates the drama for him.
That throws the protagonist off course, and in this case it's the idea that out there is the answers to everything. For a man who's so desperate to understand the world, the idea that somewhere there is a book that contains the answers to everything is going to be absolute catnip to Leonardo. And it perfectly sums up with this slightly odd, mythological, fantastical element that may be in his imagination, probably not. We play with the idea of time and fantasy and understanding and whether it's the opium or whether it's his … imagination or whether it's real, sort of strange temporal shift that he finds himself caught up in.
Is that going to be something that's played with in future seasons, because David has said he has a plan for a long story arc?
Oh, yeah. I mean, knock on wood, if we get a Season 2, things get stranger. And as they get stranger, suddenly they're explained, and other bits that look like they make absolutely no sense are very, very logical and clear. It's the bits that you think are logical and clear are skewed; it's really clever.
There are plot twists this season that I'm like, wow. I remember reading the first draft of one of the episodes and being like, "What? That's insane!" And then David explained it, and explained why and where it was going, so it's kind of nice to know that even with the strangest stuff within the series, David has very clear map of how it's going to map out.
There's stuff in episode 1 that leads very clearly to stuff in Episode 8. There's props in the background of scenes in episode 2 that will only be used in Episode 7. It's the luxury of having the time and the scripts, really.
What were some of the most fun parts for you making this show since you're involved in just about every facet of it?
It's weird. I think that's the great thing about the show is I got to do the stuff you dream of doing as an actor when you're a kid and you think being an actor is all explosions and sword fights and horse riding. I got to do all that stuff. Racing across — literally galloping across — a meadow on horseback is incredibly exciting, but then at the same time there's the stuff that's hinted at in the beginning with Lucrezia, that storyline, is really fascinating when it all comes to a head.
I absolutely loved playing those scenes, that kind of emotional "Is it a relationship? Is it love? Are they using one another?" Those things were always the most sort of exciting to play. And then on top of that you've got these cerebral moments of deduction are also great. To sort of storm into a room and say, "I know what all this means!"
Since the show premieres Friday, is there anything else you'd like viewers to know going in?
Just that it's not what they're expecting. Everything interview I've done out here in New York has been, "I didn't know what to expect but that wasn't it!" I think once you realize we're sort of skewing the world through a very modern prism and you climb on board then you'll have a great time. We're really proud of it. It's a fun ride.
Da Vinci's Demons premieres tonight at 10 ET/PT on Starz. You can watch the first episode below.

Review: Stewart, Fanning glam it up in 'Runaways'
Published 2:01 pm, Monday, March 22, 2010
The Runaways," chronicling the rise and fall of Joan Jett's first band, easily could have degenerated into a movie-length music video, with Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning merely glam-rock poseurs.
Yet music-video veteran Floria Sigismondi makes an impressive feature-film directing debut, crafting a brisk, engaging portrait, the story making up for its lack of insight into teen rebel Jett and her bandmates with driving, infectious rhythm.
For Stewart as Jett and Fanning as Runaways singer Cherie Currie, the movie is a smart showcase to help them break out of their molds as they take on more adult roles, Stewart aiming for life after "Twilight" and Fanning seeking to graduate from her position as Hollywood's doe-eyed princess of child stars.
Both have done other mature roles -- Stewart was a stripper and hooker in the upcoming "Welcome to the Rileys," Fanning played a teen rape victim in "Hounddog." Yet "The Runaways" will be an eye-opener for their fans, with Stewart and Fanning hurling themselves into the roles, their descent into the seedy 1970s world of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll including a passionate kiss they share in a love scene.
Though based on Currie's memoir "Neon Angel," "The Runaways" is much more the story of Jett, who was an executive producer on the film and on set for almost the entire shoot. Currie was on hand to help the filmmakers, as well, but the movie, like the short-lived Runaways, is of greatest interest as a prelude to Jett's later stardom fronting the Blackhearts.
Sigismondi, who also wrote the screenplay, tells the story in a simple, direct, chronological fashion as teenagers Jett and Currie, guided by flamboyant and foul-tongued manager Kim Fowley (Michael Shannon), lead an all-girl band that can rock with the best of the boys. Their band included guitarist Lita Ford, later a hard-rock star on her own.
From their start in 1975 through their finish in 1978, the Runaways made five albums, toured relentlessly in the United States, Europe and Japan, and achieved superstardom in the latter, where their anthem "Cherry Bomb" was a smash hit.
While an entertaining evocation of the '70s scene, "The Runaways" plays out predictably like many another tale of a promising band undone by those pesky "creative differences."
Stewart's Jett is the backbone, the one who really wants it, the one born for the life of a rock star. The movie's high point comes after a period of lonely introspection by Jett as she realizes her dream of the Runaways is fading, and the movie gives way to the sizzling guitar intro of "I Love Rock N' Roll," a hit a few years later for her and the Blackhearts.
Fanning has the showy role as Currie, strutting the stage in lingerie and acting out with a drugged-up punk's lust for bad behavior. The character rings a bit hollowly, though, the perspective coming mainly through Jett's eyes, with little to say about how and why Currie was so quickly seduced and spat out by the rock life.
Stewart is the steady hand, her Jett certainly more impassioned than mopey Bella in the "Twilight" movies but muted next to the outrageous antics Fanning gets to carry out. As manager Fowley, Shannon is funny and often more outlandish than Fanning's Currie, though in his case, the character can lapse into a caricature of a crazy man behind the scenes.
Some touching moments develop in Currie's relations with her twin sister (Riley Keough, a strong presence as the bitter sibling stuck at home in a dead-end job). Currie's absentee mother is played in a fleeting role by Tatum O'Neal, who knows something about the perils of youthful stardom, peaking with her Academy Awards win for "Paper Moon" at age 10, barely a year before the Runaways got started.
"The Runaways" is loaded front to start with music, from Currie's amusing David Bowie impersonation at a school talent show to "Crimson and Clover" and other Blackhearts hits.
Stewart and Fanning handle the vocals admirably, their live performances blending seamlessly with actual Runaways recordings on the soundtrack. Whatever else you might say about "The Runaways," it's a movie that definitely loves rock 'n' roll.
"The Runaways," an Apparition release, is rated R for language, drug use and sexual content -- all involving teens. Running time: 102 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.
Motion Picture Association of America rating definitions:
G -- General audiences. All ages admitted.
PG -- Parental guidance suggested. Some material may not be suitable for children.
PG-13 -- Special parental guidance strongly suggested for children under 13. Some material may be inappropriate for young children.
R -- Restricted. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.
NC-17 -- No one under 17 admitted.

Against the Third Reich: Paul Tillich's Wartime Radio Broadcasts into Nazi Germay
Paul Tillich, one of the greatest Protestant theologians of modern times, wrote more than one hundred radio addresses that were braodcast into Nazi Germany from March 1942 through May 1944. The broadcasts were passionate and political--urging Germans to recognize the horror of Hitler and to reject a morally and spiritually bankrupt government. Laregly unknown in the United States, the broadcasts have been translated into English for the first time, and approximately half of them are presented in this book.

Ha, ha, ha, he, he he. My colleague, Jim Brunner, reports that Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich is on his way back to town for an appearance at a comedy club in Pioneer Square. Kucinich is a real kneeslapper, except when he is not.

King Street's Jackson Plaza Gets a Grand Opening (The SunBreak)
As for the plaza itself, Seattle Transit Blog says: "The plaza has yet to house any vendors/businesses, so I wouldn't expect there to be a sudden renewal of vibrancy and activity. There are some fairly unique design elements, however, like an all-gravel floor, which almost gives the appearance of a giant Zen garden."
Demitri Pallis expands distribution of his bloody mary concoctions through Seattle's Gourmet Mixes (PSBJ)
Inspiration came for the longtime bartender after he grew frustrated with the consistency and quality of the bloody mary mix that he used at a popular New Orleans-themed bar in Seattle's Pioneer Square neighborhood.
Affordable Artist Studios Retained in Magnuson Park (Seattlest)
The new 10-year agreement stipulates that Parks will lease 5,000 feet of space from Building 11 LLC and will sublease the space out to artists at affordable rates. They will offer long-term and short-term leases at a rate of $1.08 per square foot per month. For comparison, Pioneer Square's 619 Building leases at anywhere from $.90 to $1.25 per square foot per month.
Pioneer Square's Best Po-Boy (KOMONews)
The place is called Marcela's Creole Cookery, but it may as well be titled Slow Burn. Anthony MacDonald and Marcela Fuenzalida's New Orleans-inspired restaurant in Pioneer Square serves a lot of heavy, unfussy, delicious Southern comfort food (including gator), all of it laced with just enough heat to feel it on the back of your tongue without sending you scrabbling for the water glass.

Meerut fire: The aftermath
April 11, 2006
At least 50 people, mostly women, were feared killed on Monday evening in a major fire accident in Meerut, 65 km from Delhi.
The fire spread within five minutes and as there were only one entrance and one exitĀto the air-conditioned hall, the children and women got trapped in it as the fire blazed rapidly.
The Consumer Trade Fair, where the fire broke out, was being organised by Brand India Consumers Forum and was jointly sponsored by the local daily Dainik Jagaran.

Fully featured Windows Vista released for testing
Microsoft has released a fully featured preview of its Windows Vista operating system to corporate IT departments and developers.
This Article Covers
Microsoft has released a fully featured preview of its Windows Vista operating system to corporate IT departments and developers.
The "community technology preview" release contains the complete set of new features that will appear in Vista later this year, including a set of tools designed to make the operating system easier to deploy in a business environment and to cut deployment cost-per-desktop.
UK IT Priorities 2018 survey results
Download this e-guide to discover the results of our 2018 UK IT Priorities survey, where IT leaders shared with us what they are going to be investing in over the coming 12 months.

The new operating system will be released alongside an enhanced version of Business Desktop Deployment. The Vista preview also includes an enhanced Management Console 3.0, improvements to the Group Policy setting and new centralised control over removable storage devices.
Other new features in Vista include Windows Sidebar, which gives desktop users easy access to Gadgets – a series of customisable mini-applications that provide information at a glance and quick access to frequent tasks. An RSS feed is also included.
Microsoft said IT departments would be able to develop their own gadgets to provide staff with fast access to sales figures, workflow status and other business information.
Vista also includes a new Welcome Center function at start-up that presents users with key setup tasks.
Windows Vista will also include a series of new security features. Earlier this week, Detlef Eckert, the software giant's chief security adviser, said Vista would not be shipped unless it successfully completed tests to ensure its code is robust and any vulnerabilities have been identified.
"We are still in early beta testing. The components will be checked and checked again. If it is not working, it will not ship," he said.

Holy Orders - Midkemia Online Online Help
11.3 Holy Orders
What Is a Holy Order? --------------------- Orders are groups of adventurers of Midkemia who have formally declared their worship of, and dedication to, a particular Deity. Most, but by no means all Immortals of Midkemia have Holy Orders. HELP GODS lists the Gods whose Orders you may wish to learn more about. Also make sure to check HELP <godname> to learn more about the philosophy and realm of that God. Every Order has a dedicated Order channel, which members can use to speak to each other. The syntax is OT <your message>, and you can use OTOFF and OTON to mute or unmute it. Only members of your own sect or cult can hear what you say on the Order channel. Each Order has access to a pool of "essence," which is a spiritual energy which can be employed to beseech their Deity for blessings and boons. A sect may increase their essence by offering the corpses of slain denizens at shrines of the sect (see HELP SHRINES). Cults do not have shrines, so this avenue is not open to them, but must instead grow in power and influence by converting denizens through the strength of their arguments. What Is a Cult or Sect? ----------------------- A cult or sect is an independent subdivision of a Holy Order. Worship of the Gods varies greatly from region to region, and so while some sects may be cooperative, others may be competitive, or even war with each other over their different ideals. Orders can be either cults (HELP CULTS) or sects (HELP SECTS). A new Order starts out as merely a cult, and with enough investment and participation by its members, may be converted into a full-fledged sect when recognized by their Deity. For example, Prandur is known both as the Bringer of Light and the Burner of Cities. In one aspect, he is worshiped as a benevolent and life-giving deity. In the other, his destructive nature is revered. One sect may follow one path, while the other follows another. See HELP DIVINE NATURE to learn more about the manifold aspects of the Gods. Normally, you will only be able to communicate and interact within the Holy Order with members of your own cult or sect. Finding and Joining an Order ---------------------------- There is no single manner of finding or joining a Holy Order. Perhaps you simply need to seek out a member of the Order and ask. Some Gods require that you diligently seek a special place, such as a temple or Holy Grove. There may be quests or trials to undertake. Priests, however, may learn to devote themselves at the shrine of a God by studying Faith. To learn about the possible sects and cults avilable: ORDERS ORDERS <God> ORDERSUMMARY <sect/cult> What's Good About Membership? ----------------------------- Many find membership in a God's Order to be one of the most important parts of their experience in Midkemia. Membership gives a sense of belonging, and a sense of being watched over by a Deity who is sympathetic to you, and whose involvement may prove vital to success in the realms. Priests that join Sects may gain access to powerful tertiary skillsets which allow them to employ immense powers drawn from their God's realm. Leaving A Holy Order -------------------- Membership in a Holy Order is not an irrevocable decision. You can QUIT <order> to leave a Holy Order, though you should consider this decision carefully before making it. See also: HELP GODS, HELP CULTS, HELP SECTS

ABAKALIKI—NO fewer than 19 persons were reportedly killed in multiple accidents involving different commercial vehicles along the Enugu-Abakaliki Expressway in Ebonyi State, yesterday.
Vanguard reports that a staff of The Sun Publishing Limited, Prince Ogbonna miraculously survived one of the accidents described by eyewitnesses as ghastly.
Investigations revealed that the accidents, which occurred almost simultaneously along the major highway, included Ezilo axis of Ishielu council area of the state and 135, Ezzamgbo of Ohaukwu council area of the state claiming many lives, including the drivers.
Though officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, could not confirm the accurate number of casualties, one of the survivors of the Ezillo accident, who identified himself simply as Ezekiel said that the accident occurred when the driver of a white bus coming from Awka to Abakaliki tried to overtake a Sienna bus and rammed into an oncoming bus from Abakaliki.
The eyewitness blamed the driver of the bus he was travelling in for reckless driving, adding that the accident could have been avoided if the driver had heeded several warnings from passengers.
Ezekiel said the driver tried to overtake the Sienna and ran into another bus coming from Abakaliki which was also on high speed.Both drivers lost control of their vehicles, leading to a head-on collision. He said the Siena bus skidded off the road and somersaulted many times, killing so many people in the process.
In his account, Mr. Prince Ogbonna, the Sales Representative of Sun newspaper, who was among the two survivors of Peace Mass Transit ill-fated vehicle at Ezzamgbo said their vehicle also somersaulted many times.
He confirmed that the driver of the Peace Mass Transit was trying to avoid a Mercedes Benz parked along the road when a trailer on high speed came from the opposite direction.
The driver according to him, lost control of the vehicle and skidded off the road before somersaulting from the bush path back to the centre of the highway, resulting to the death of many passengers.
Meanwhile, the Federal Road Safety Corps has confirmed four deaths in multiple road accidents which occurred on Enugu-Abakaliki federal highway Mr Sunday Iyamah, Ebonyi Sector Commander of the Corps said that 23 persons were injured in the crashes.
"The first crash occurred at Ezillo-Rice Mill Junction of the highway at about 4.15pm and involved three vehicles," he said.
The vehicles include: A whiteToyota Hiace car with registration number: XU 679 Enugu; another white Toyota Hiace: MUS 78 XX and a Toyota Sienna car: FST 324 DC. "20 males and 11 females were inside the vehicles with 14 of them consisting of 8 males and six females injured with two of the victims dead".

Kirsten Gillibrand, who is challenging incumbent U.S. Rep. John Sweeney, R-Clifton Park, in the 20th CD, plans to join incumbent U.S. Rep. Mike McNulty, D-Green Island, (21st CD) at noon on Monday at the O'Brien Federal Building in Albany to sign a pledge to oppose efforts at privatizing Social Security.
And while the symbolic act will reinforce both Democrats backing of the federal retirement program, the event, sponsored by Citizen Action, is also a swipe at Sweeney for his refusal so far to condemn President Bush's well-publicized desire to partially privatize the Social Security system.
"With only six weeks to Election Day, it's time for Congressman Sweeney to stop ducking and hiding and tell New Yorkers whether he'll fight Bush's plan to privatize Social Security," Citizen Action's Executive Director Karen Scharff, said in announcing the event.
While it hasn't been in the headlines as much as when Bush first floated the plan in earnest five years ago, Sweeney has taken heat on this issue before, with several protests in the Clifton Park area during which his opponents urged him to come out against privatization.
Tapping into anxiety about a possible Social Security privatization may also prove to be one of the Democrat's weapons this November. Citizen Action, which generally supports Democrats, touched in this in their press release which was meant to remind readers that the President still counts privatization as one of his goals. They quote Bush last June as saying:
"If I can't get it done this year, I'm going to try next year. And if we can't get it done next year, I'm going to try the year after that."

A FOOTBALL pundit and former England star is pitching in to help a poorly baby.
Former England and Southampton midfielder Matt le Tissier will be the guest of honour at a sportsman's dinner taking place in aid of Peterlee baby Oliver Osborn.
Young Oliver – who turns one today – suffers from severe epilepsy, with up to 100 seizures a day.
Parents Danielle Coils, 28, and Rik Osborn, 29, of Wadham Close, say he is "just like a newborn" as he is always so heavily sedated due to his condition, and they are desperately seeking medication to slow down the rate of the epilepsy.
Matt, 45, who is now a Sky Sports pundit, will be at Peterlee Catholic Club, in Grampian Drive, on Thursday, April 10, from 7pm to midnight.
The event will also feature comedian Jimmy Earl and Jerry Earl as the MC, and there will be a raffle and auction.
Tickets are £35 and include a meal.
Rik's childhood friends John Chisholm, 29, and Chris Baker, 25, who is Oliver's godfather, were able to book le Tissier.
Rik said: "It's fantastic, we are hoping to do it on an annual basis.
"The support has been fantastic."
Anyone wanting to donate to the fundraising campaign for Oliver can do so at www.justgiving.com/Oliver-osborn
Tickets for the dinner can be obtained from John on 07889 196328 or Chris on 07917 845440, and anyone who can donate raffle prizes can also get in touch this way.

Celtics-Pistons Game Six: Boston Puts Detroit Out Of Our Misery
Tonight in Detroit, despite some third quarter officiating that looked like the Association had ordered a Game 7 on Sunday, the Celtics crushed the Pistons in the fourth quarter and finished their series. And it was so captivating, with so much flow, that it made me want to channel surf, watch a DVD, or maybe do the dishes. Notes below for fans of either team, the Association, or relentlessly ugly basketball.
> The first half gave the Pistons crowd a taste of what was to come, as the grinding pace of most of the series was evident early on. The Celtics also spent far too many shots from their point guards than their stars, but the continued revival of Ray Allen gave them the lead.
> Say this for Rajon Rondo: he rebounds well. I'm pretty sure that Phil Jackson will exploit his weaknesses (no outside shot, questionable decisions under pressure, bad free throw shooting), and Derek Fisher is about to open a world of ancient Jedi point guard trickery on him, but for a game where his man (Chauncey Billups) was scoring, he didn't wilt.
> The Association can not start fining players for flopping fast enough. Most of the second half in this game had bodies on the floor on nearly every possession, both from the teams gearing up on defense, and also for the fact that with so many whistles happening, it seemed like the safest thing to do. It's getting very close to the point where this isn't basketball, and with the league taking out so much of the tension from hard fouls, it has next to no entertainment value.
> Every NBA analyst, when faced with a player getting a technical foul, feels like it's a time to sermonize on how selfish, silly, stupid, et al the player must be for getting hit with it. Rarely, very rarely, you'll hear someone rake the referee over the coals for it. But you never really hear the idea that (a) the single free throw isn't really that big of a deal, in the course of a game, and (b) maybe, just maybe, the technical is kind of the basketball equivalent of the pitcher hitting a batter, in that it isn't something they want to usually do, but might choose on some occasions to change the mood. Tonight, the subtext of "Rasheed Wallace could get a technical and miss Game Seven!" was high. Sheed didn't get that tech, but he's missing Game Seven anyway. The techs didn't really matter.
> Sam Cassel was on the floor tonight, and for the life of me, I can't understand why. He brings nothing to the Celtics now, unless you're so convinced that his veteran presence and yada yada yada is bringing something, when his bad on the ball defense, poor decision-making and bad shooting isn't a problem. I do not get what Eddie House did to stop getting run, but I hope it was worth it.
> There was a play in the third quarter, as the Pistons were building a lead, where Paul Pierce got his man in the air, leaned in and banked in a three... and was called for initiating the contact, a call that I've almost never seen made, and one that was completely out of kilter with the way the game was being called. Serious props to the Celtics for fighting through it.
> Sheed's night wasn't good, and the strongest memory for Pistons Fan will be watching him pick up his fifth foul, go to the bench, then toss a towel into the camera that had come over to get his reaction. For a team that's always in the Final Four, the Pistons are surprisingly bad in tense situations like this.
> How hard was this game to watch? At one point in the fourth, with the game on the line, Jeff van Gundy actually sad, "Post up basketball. It may be boring, but it's efficient!" and continued on his merry way from there. A rule of thumb... when someone tells you how great something is, it's not great. Believe your eyes.
> The Pistons seem to have a future, in that they've got good young players like Jason Maxiell and Rodney Stuckey, and Tayshaun Prince isn't old... but at some point, doesn't the three rounds of playoffs start to give these guys advanced injury issues, not to mention trust problems from past failures? It's not like they won't get in the playoffs again, but they've become the basketball equivalent of the '90s Braves.
> The Pistons had any number of three-point attempts to make the last few minutes of the game meaningful, and they not only didn't make one, they didn't even get close. They looked gassed to me, or at the very least, looking to get on the golf course.
> The Celtics get their rest now, and they also have home court. But even if I did like their chances with a superstar that's uncomfortable in clutch time versus one that thrives on it, here's the only thing I need to know to pick the Lakers... Phil Jackson versus Doc Rivers. Add that to the strong edge that is the Lakers bench, and you can guess where I'm going with the next round pick. But that's for another day...

Elizabeth Swanay-O'Neal joined the TNGenWeb in January 2012 as the Coordinator for Greene County. Although a second-generation Californian herself, Elizabeth's Tennessee roots pre-date the formation of Greene County. For almost three decades, she has spent countless hours researching not only her own Greene County ancestors, but many of their friends and neighbors, as well.
Elizabeth has spent the past 3 years moving content from the "old" Greene County site over to its new WordPress format. Part of what she enjoys most is adding new content contributed by volunteers; she often sees familiar surnames and wonders if this person is a cousin, or that person is related to so-and-so. She also enjoys adding content she finds during her personal research, and hopes that visitors find the updated site to be helpful.
In addition to the Greene County TNGenWeb site, Elizabeth is the webmaster for the California State Genealogical Alliance and the Southern California Chapter, Association of Professional Genealogists. She is also the author of the popular genealogy blog, Little Bytes of Life, where she often writes about her own Greene County ancestors.
Elizabeth has used numerous USGenWeb sites in her years of research, and truly appreciates the time and talents invested by state and county coordinators, especially having served as one herself. She hopes to be able to "pay it forward" with her technical and research skills as a member of the TNGenWeb board.
