UNITED NATIONS, May 15 — The United States introduced a Security Council resolution on Monday calling for strict observance of a new peace accord in Darfur and speeded-up arrangements for a United Nations peacekeeping force to replace the African Union force now there.

John R. Bolton, the American ambassador, said he hoped for a vote on Tuesday.

The move followed a meeting of the African Union in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, earlier Monday that urged the Sudanese government to drop objections to putting the force in Darfur, an area the size of France, under eventual United Nations command.

The African Union diplomats also gave two holdout rebel groups two weeks to sign the peace accord between the Sudanese government and the main rebel organization or face sanctions against their leaders.

The accord, signed May 5 in Abuja, the Nigerian capital, was aimed at ending a conflict — marked by extraordinary brutality and labeled genocide by the Bush administration — that has killed more than 200,000 people and forced two million villagers from their homes.

The cease-fire is already being widely violated, and the 7,000-member African Union force is unable and ill-equipped to exert meaningful control.

Jan Pronk, the United Nations envoy to Sudan, told reporters in Addis Ababa, "It is now high time to take very concrete steps towards a stronger force."

Jan Egeland, the United Nations emergency aid coordinator, who has just visited Darfur, said at a news conference in Geneva on Monday that failure to put the peace accord into effect would bring on "a downward spiral which will get totally out of control and go into the abyss."

The resolution sets up a timetable for beginning the transition by the end of September. It says that a joint African Union-United Nations assessment mission should go to Darfur within a week and that Secretary General Kofi Annan should make detailed recommendations on the force's size, mandate and makeup a week after the mission's return.

It also urges the government of Sudan to cooperate with the United Nations in planning the new force and says "strong and effective measures" will be taken against any individuals or groups that try to sabotage the peace agreement.

Despite the urgency of the crisis, the resolution has undergone some weakening since Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice called for prompt action on Darfur last Tuesday at a special session of foreign ministers at the Security Council.

The draft at that point authorized immediate logistical assistance to the African Union troops from the existing 10,000-member United Nations force monitoring a cease-fire that ended a separate conflict in southern Sudan.

Commissioner Frederick H. Bealefeld III, left, has brought Grayling G. Williams, right, a former counternarcotics chief in the Department of Homeland Security, to lead an anticorruption division in Baltimore’s Police Department. Credit Matt Roth for The New York Times

BALTIMORE — Tucked behind a liquor store, opposite a flooring company, Majestic Body Shop was an unremarkable sight amid a blur of commercial properties just east of the city limits. But the police cars that always seemed to be parked at the repair shop caught the eyes of passing drivers. The F.B.I. noticed as well — agents were videotaping Majestic and tapping its phone.

What the investigation revealed was startling: a bribery racket suspected to involve kickbacks to dozens of Baltimore police officers.

The scheme to divert cars damaged in traffic accidents to the body shop in return for payoffs resulted in one of the widest police corruption scandals in Baltimore history. This week, a 10th officer will be sentenced to prison, one of 14 officers who pleaded guilty to federal extortion charges. One trial ended in conviction, another officer pleaded guilty in state court and at least 14 suspended officers still face departmental discipline and possible state charges.

The scandal delivered a body blow to a police force that has struggled to win public confidence. The sheer number of officers involved stunned department veterans and civilians alike.

Continue reading the main story

In the aftermath, Commissioner Frederick H. Bealefeld III — who invited the F.B.I. to investigate the force — brought in Grayling G. Williams, the Department of Homeland Security’s former counternarcotics chief, to head the division charged with rooting out corruption. The previous director had been ousted for socializing with an officer indicted on a charge of heroin trafficking. “We want to do a better job,” Mr. Williams said, “and we want this to be the Police Department that the public wants.”

Mr. Bealefeld, 49, who recently announced plans to retire in August after 31 years on the force, will almost certainly be remembered for reducing the city’s crime and murder rates as well as for his aggressive anticorruption efforts, including the Majestic case. He acknowledged that the corruption cases during his five years as commissioner had been trying, but said “it comes with the territory.”

And he made no apologies for his efforts to change the department’s direction and shed its troubled image reinforced — unfairly, Mr. Bealefeld contended — by the fictional television drama “The Wire.”

“I made clear from the very beginning that I would hold bad cops accountable,” he said.

The Baltimore case was unusual for the large number of officers involved; police corruption typically involves only a small number of officers.

“The big takedowns, the pervasive corruption” are uncommon, said Kevin L. Perkins, the F.B.I.’s acting executive assistant director for criminal and cyber operations.

The scheme began when Officer Jhonn S. Corona struck a deal to bring business to two brothers, Hernan Moreno Mejia and Edwin Mejia, the body shop’s owners. All three have pleaded guilty; Mr. Corona received a sentence of two and a half years last month.

The plan worked like this: Officers who summon a tow truck to accident scenes are required to use so-called medallion tow trucks authorized by the city; instead, they would call the Mejia brothers, who would send a nonmedallion truck.

Each time a car reached Majestic, officers received several hundred dollars. Some damaged the cars more to increase the insurance payout. The scheme grew as Mr. Corona recruited other officers, who in turn brought in more colleagues, until at least 51 were involved. Court documents from one defendant suggest 59 officers made calls to the brothers.

Even before the Majestic case came to light, Mr. Bealefeld had worried that internal oversight was failing and had turned to the F.B.I. because of rumors of criminality on the force, including the officer who was eventually indicted on a charge of dealing heroin.

The turning point came after Paula Protani, an employee of a medallion towing company and the vice president of a towing association, filed a complaint in August 2009 that the police passed to the F.B.I. The agency began recording calls between the brothers and officers. Bank records revealed that the brothers paid between $200,000 and $1 million to the officers.

“It was quick, easy money in their pockets,” Ms. Protani said.

As the operation continued, the scope of the graft took shape. Rather than play down the case, Mr. Bealefeld sought to make an example of the officers.

When the time came last year to make arrests in the case, Mr. Bealefeld and federal agents lured the 17 officers facing federal charges to the police academy, where Mr. Bealefeld confronted them and stripped them of their badges before agents led them away in handcuffs. To ensure that future officers knew about it, he summoned two academy recruits to watch.

The commissioner has been aggressive in his efforts to mend the department’s reputation, said Rod J. Rosenstein, the United States attorney for Maryland.

“He knows that there has been a problem,” Mr. Rosenstein said. “He’s personally committed to doing everything he can to hold accountable corrupt police officers in order to change the culture of the organization.”

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, whose predecessor stepped down in a plea deal related to corruption, said the Majestic case had been a “double-edged sword,” revealing graft to prove that the city did not sweep it under the rug.

“I understand the risks in all of that,” she said, “but I know that in the long run, it’s the best thing for the city.”

NZ to benefit from Trump/Brexit?

By Claire Trevett in Brussels

New Zealand could be the accidental beneficiary from the election of Donald Trump as US President and the Brexit vote if it speeds up the pace of free trade talks with the European Union in a bid to stamp out protectionism.

Prime Minister Bill English met with European Council President Donald Tusk and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker in Brussels earlier this morning.

Both were optimistic a free trade deal between New Zealand and the EU would go ahead - and Tusk pointed to the need to send a message to the rest of the world as protectionism set in, both in Europe and elsewhere.

The election of Trump has resulted in the effective end to the Trans Pacific Partnership and the rise of Marine Le Pen, the National Front presidential candidate in France, is another example of a move toward protectionist policies.

English was reluctant to say New Zealand could be better placed with the EU because of Brexit, but said New Zealand had shown it was a stable and consistent partner, and the EU recognised that was important.

"I think our position has been economically stable, politically stable and a country that believes in open markets, trade, migration. These are things the EU values - in fact they're at the core of its discussions with Britain over Brexit - and we are pretty well aligned."

He said both New Zealand and the EU wanted to demonstrate to the wider world that such trade agreements were both possible and positive.

"It's an important signal. When you've got so much political uncertainty, this makes it clear that one of the largest economies in the world is interested in doing free trade deals and keen to do one with New Zealand, even if there are a few political challenges with it."

While Juncker said he believed a trade deal was possible in 2-3 years - much less than the 6-10 years it has taken others, English was more realistic, saying many of the same obstacles that had confronted New Zealand in the past still had to be worked through, including sensitivities over agriculture.

English will turn his mind from trade to security on Thursday night when he is due to meet Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. English said most of New Zealand's contribution to security was done through Nato and those talks would look at what New Zealand's ongoing role could be.

There was less chance of attacks in New Zealand than Europe but there was always a risk New Zealanders would get caught up in attacks overseas.

"The risk in New Zealand is moderate but we work fairly hard to keep it that way and co-operation with other countries is an important part of keeping risk in New Zealand at low levels."

He said New Zealand had boosted its investment in keeping tabs on New Zealanders with links to Islamic State.

Holden: Beefy beast fights its corner

Holden hopes big still proves beautiful for its bottom line

Holden Commodore VF SS-V. Photo / Supplied

The latest Commodore is key for Holden in Australia, with the local boss hopeful the new car will show Australians it is world class.
Ahead of the national launch for the VF Commodore next week, GM Holden managing director Mike Devereux says the new model for the flagship car - seven years in the making - is "incredibly important" for the company.

"It is the bedrock for the brand," he says, going on to explain that Holden's focus in designing and building the new car was to change Australians' perceptions of what the company and Australian engineering design can do in building great V6 and V8 models.

"We were still in the top 10 last year in the last year of a seven-year life cycle of a large car," he says.

"We are going to be in the top 10 again this year so, when people say Australians don't want large cars, I have no idea what they are talking about." Sales of Holden's Commodore have dropped in recent years, as the strength in the Australian dollar has made overseas cars cheaper.

The model lost its 15-year run as top seller to the Mazda 3 in 2011.

When the VE Commodore was launched in July 2006 the Australian dollar was trading around 67.3 US cents. But the currency was around 44 per cent higher seven years later and it had been higher, particularly in the past two years. This has made overseas imports of cars cheaper and placed pressure on local manufacturers.

"As the dollar has remained strong, we were here last year with the dollar ... in general price points, cars have come down and we have to be competitive."

Holden is planning their next large car, but Mr Devereux is keeping his cards close on when the next Commodore will be released.

"It will definitely have Australian input," he says.

Holden announced in April that it was cutting 500 jobs at its South Australian and Victorian operations and reducing production at its Elizabeth factory from 400 to 335 cars a day as the dollar's strength continued to hit profitability.

See next Saturday's Driven for more on the new VF, and head to nzherald.co.nz/driven for photographs of the new range.

Five stars for safety

Holden's VF Commodore and the new WN Caprice have been awarded maximum safety ratings ahead of launch.

The five-star ANCAP safety rating applies to every Commodore, Sportwagon, Ute and long wheelbase Caprice.

Even the new entry-level Evoke carries safety technologies like auto park assist, rear view camera and front/rear parking sensors. All vehicles have front driver and passenger airbags, side curtain and new pelvis/thorax side impact airbags, Electronic Stability Control with ABS, EBD, EBA and TCS, an alert for the driver if the rear seatbelts (bloody kids!) are undone while the car is moving, and flashing emergency stop lights.

There's also three ISOFIX child seat anchors across rear seats.

As the price tags get bigger, so does the safety offering cutting edge features like forward collision alert, blind spot monitoring, reverse traffic alert and head-up display are available on high-end models. This week's cover car, the Audi A3, has also just scored five-star ratings, as has the recently launched Nissan Pulsar.

Stock Takes: Ups and down on the NZX

Add a comment

It's been a roller coaster week for the New Zealand share market. The NZX 50 fell more than 1 per cent on Tuesday as the Chinese stockmarket fell to its lowest level in four years amid fears of a credit squeeze slowing its economy.

The fall brought the NZX back to its lowest point since March 6 and wiped 7.6 per cent off the market since its May 13 peak.

But on Wednesday it bounced back as China's People's Bank moved to reassure investors, and the NZX 50 gained 1.7 per cent making up for all the losses of the previous day plus more.

It could be a turning point for the market to start heading back up again but most players expect volatility to remain part of the picture for some time to come.

The August reporting season, which takes in companies with a June 30 balance date, may be the next big guiding point for where local companies are headed.

The NZX 50 closed up 0.53 per cent on 4416.96 yesterday.

Aussies bail out

A broker's report on who has bought and sold shares in Mighty River Power in the past month reveals it has been mainly Australian investors who have sold shares.

The biggest seller was an Australian nominee account for HSBC bank. It was the fourth largest shareholder on May 24 with 0.79 per cent but by last Friday, it had reduced its stake by more than half to 0.356 per cent and is now the 10th largest.

Nominees accounts for BNP Paribas, JP Morgan Australia, CS Fourth Nominees (an account for Credit Suisse Equities Australia) have also all sold shares.

All are ranked within the top 25 largest shareholders for the power company.

But some New Zealand brokers have also been in the mix. Two custodian accounts for Forsyth Barr have reduced stakes as has First NZ Capital Securities, although other custodian accounts for Forsyth Barr and First NZ have also been buyers.

Next Friday, the NZX conducts its monthly reweighting of the indices. A week after that investors will find out if Mighty River has reached the top 10 index.

Fund managers will then have to decide whether to buy more shares in the company. Shares in Mighty River have recovered some ground this week after hitting a $2.20 low last Friday. Yesterday they closed on $2.24.

Another blow

Chorus shares took another hit yesterday as the Commerce Commission set out how much each of the 26 telecommunication providers will have to pay towards the Telecommunications Development Levy for 2011/12, which replaces the old Telecommunication Service Obligation that Telecom operated under.

Chorus will have to pay $6.4 million - about 13 per cent of the total cost.

The company's shares closed down 2c yesterday at $2.28.

Shares in the company have performed poorly since February after being hit by regulatory announcements.

Chorus listed at $2.94 in November 2011 after splitting from Telecom but it seems unlikely it will recover that ground any time soon.

Sky buy

Sky Television's share price fall after it lost the rights to show English Premier League soccer was a buying opportunity for at least one Aussie fund manager.

BNP Paribas Investment Partners (Australia) - the Australian asset management arm of the big French bank, bought a 5.48 per cent stake on June 20 - the day after the soccer announcement.

The move makes it the fourth largest owner of Sky TV shares behind Australian fund manager JCP Investment Partners (9.11 per cent), New Zealand's Accident Compensation Corporation (7.33 per cent) and Hyperion Asset Management (6.18 per cent) also from Australia.

When Rupert Murdoch's News Corp sold its 43.6 per cent stake in March it was seen as a chance for ownership of Sky to come back into New Zealand hands.

But Bloomberg data reveals the Aussies are still the largest shareholders by region with 54.39 per cent while only 22.84 per cent is held by New Zealanders - one third of which is the ACC stake.

A further 10.8 per cent is held by investors from Britain and 9.35 per cent is held by American investors.

Sky TV shares plummeted from $5.70 to $4.96 after the soccer loss, but have since recovered about half of that ground. Yesterday they closed up 1c at $5.36.

Moa money

The Business Bakery and Pioneer Capital - the companies behind the brewer Moa Group - supported the share price when it fell below $1.25, in line with undertakings given in the offer documents, says chairman Geoff Ross.

In its documents, Moa said that under the Takeovers Code, the Business Bakery and Pioneer may each buy up to 5 per cent of the company's shares within six months of last November's offer.

"The Business Bakery and Pioneer Capital have each advised that their intention is to commit $500,000 each to acquire shares post listing, in the event the shares trade below the offer price," the documents said.

Ross said The Business Bakery and Pioneer bought stock in the first six months, up until it reached the "black out zone" which prevents insiders trading before a company's result.

"We did when we could," Ross said.

Shares in Moa were offered to investors at $1.25, and hit $1.34 on listing on the first day. The shares ducked below the offer price in early March, and hit a low point of $1.10 on June 17. They closed yesterday at $1.14.

Gender debate

Australian stock exchange operator the ASX is taking concerns about gender balance in its management to another level. ASX chief Elmer Funke Kupper told the Australian Financial Review this week that from August it will start reporting on women in leadership down five levels of seniority.

The ASX was one of 14 corporate and government leaders in Australia to sign up to tougher gender-reporting obligations last week.

But don't expect the New Zealand bourse to be following suit. A spokeswoman for the NZX said it had a very flat reporting structure compared to the ASX, and already had a committed leadership role in promoting diversity in New Zealand.

"NZX itself has 185 staff and a very flat reporting structure, compared with ASX's more than 500 staff. More than 50 per cent of our staff are women and of the CEO's direct reports, four out of 10 are women. We have two women on our board."

NZX chairman Andrew Harmos is a member of the 25 per cent Group, set up to help get more women directors on to boards, and the NZX is a founding funder of the Diverse NZ project.

The NZX followed the ASX this year in changing its reporting rules so listed companies have to disclose the gender breakdown for their boards and senior officers.

Boycott Options: Oberweis, Hobby Lobby, and Walgreens

The ethics of purchasing products

Share on Facebook
Share on Twitter

By David Hammond

Over 10 years ago, I debated with left-leaning friends about the ethics of purchasing products from Oberweis Dairy, a company owned by a family whose political opinions some of us considered unacceptable. At that time, an Oberweis was running for Senate.

I've always liked Oberweis products and my feeling remains that if the food is good, I'm going to shop there.

I'm not saying that I'd drink at the Herman Goering Brewery and Bath House, but generally considered, if you start taking into account all kinds of disagreeable personal issues related to store owners, then you might not shop anywhere ever again.  Still, there are limits.

Hobby Lobby is now in the news as a result of the SCOTUS ruling that allows them to avoid covering certain kinds of contraceptives for their employees. This ruling raises important questions about the limits of an employer's power over employee lives, reproductive rights, separation of church-state, and other big issues. I do believe, along with dissenting Justice Ginsburg, that the court is "stepping into a minefield" with this ruling. I mean, where does it end?  Will I patronize Hobby Lobby? Well, I never have and I don't even know where their nearest store is located, so I guess I'll confront that issue in the unlikely event I ever have to buy something at that store.

Walgreens, however, is a different issue. The company has been a client of mine, and I've written a corporate video history for them, patronized one of their Oak Park locations at least once per week and enjoyed a good run as a shareholder of the company (I've since divested). I think it's kind of awesome that at some of their stores, they're trying to upgrade their image by offering sushi (which seems on the face of it kind of laughable, though there's no reason why, with good sources and a qualified in-store sushi chef – which they have – they can't turn out good fish and rice snacks).

However, my generally high opinion of Walgreens has been tarnished. This Illinois company's threat to move overseas to avoid American taxation [] strikes me as unseemly, kind of slimy, and just plain wrong.

I'm fine with patronizing a store even when the owner's political opinions may be diametrically opposed to mine. Difference of opinion, compromise, and getting along with those we politically oppose is part of living in the U.S. A.

But if Walgreens, a company that grew and prospered in the United States, leaves for the sole purpose of increasing shareholder value, well, I doubt I'll be the only one who will start shopping at CVS. If we're lucky, maybe someday CVS, will even start offering sushi.

I buy oberweis milk because it is a quality product. It's not always political and raw milk is unregulated.

tea bagger = tea party. no slur ...

Friar Tuck from OP

Posted: July 8th, 2014 8:07 PM

OP, why the gay slur? Really, are you that obtuse that you need to resort to vulgar terms? We actually agree...the essence of the free market is "don't like the business/beliefs, then don't buy." That's really what I was saying earlier, and the company, in it's daily effort to survive in a competitive world, will make calculations based on how it thinks the market will react. Sometimes they're right, sometimes they're wrong. But again, leave the immature slurring to the teenagers.

Posted: July 8th, 2014 7:44 PM

ahhhh you conserabots/tea baggers always fall back on the free market/pull yourself up by your bootstraps approach. The reality is how do people with no shoes do that.. back to the point at hand. dont like the business /beliefs dont buy.

Friar Tuck from OP

Posted: July 8th, 2014 7:01 PM

OP, execs acting in their company's self-interest remain significantly above the Federal Govt & it's bureaucrats on the morality food chain. As Gecko stated so brilliantly, "greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures, the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed... has marked the upward surge of mankind and greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA!!"

How about boycotting nearby Cosco next as a banner of books. Hobby Lobby? Really, who's obtuse? Serious Christians bad! Add Chick-fil-a to your "dirty list" since your progressive pagan like values certainly trump their Judeo-Christian values. Ditto with the Little Sisters of the Poor - NOW doesn't like them. As for Oberweis, please leave; too many here are too pure for your great dairy products. You can do better elsewhere. How about another wig shop instead!

Posted: July 7th, 2014 5:40 PM

@ Friar - please don't act like execs are doing everyone else a favor by doing duty. they are motivated by greed/self interests and will push as far as bottom feeding attorneys allow them to .... i have worked with execs in Fortune 100 companies and small venture that go public ... they are not overly concerned with greater good (if at all).

Posted: July 7th, 2014 5:37 PM

It must be very tiring to research the political leanings of every store and restaurant before you spend money there. (but soooo OP) Life is too short.

Friar Tuck from OP

Posted: July 7th, 2014 5:15 PM

Why is it that so many OPer's are knee-jerk to trust the federal govt, and to mistrust a company? Walgreen is simply doing it's legal, fiduciary duty to its owners (aka shareholders) by looking at any and all cost savings options. Company officers & directors could be sued for NOT looking at inversion, an option only available to them due to their purchase of an overseas entity. It's a global world, & our corp tax system needs overhaul.

Or, you could put the proper pressure on your "progressive" friends for reasonable federal tax reform. That way, Companies would find more reasons to stay and employ Americans. Contemplate that at the Brown Cow, a locally owned store.

LOS ANGELES – It’s not that the Clippers were bad without Wesley Johnson. They went 4-1 and hummed right along with one of league’s best records as he nursed a foot injury.

What they learned while waiting for Johnson’s heel to heal, however, was just how important he had been to their league-best 8-1 start.

“When he was out,” point guard Raymond Felton said, “the defense was a whole lot different”

With Johnson in the second unit, the Clippers bench was one of the league’s best defensive units, allowing just 91.1 points per 100 possessions. Without him – and with Brandon Bass or Paul Pierce filling in – those numbers soared.

Despite averaging a career-low 14.1 minutes per game, and just 3.2 points and 3.8 rebounds, an argument could be made that Johnson is playing his most important basketball.

With 3:27 remaining in the first quarter Monday, Johnson checked in, marking his first appearance since Nov. 11 and restoring normalcy to the Clippers bench.

Johnson’s athleticism and length make him critical to the bench’s defensive efforts. Johnson is one of four players in the unit – with Austin Rivers, Raymond Felton and Jamal Crawford – capable of switching on defense.

“Right when we took Wesley off,” Rivers said, “we only had three who could switch and that had an impact on our defense.”

It’s what coaches have been hoping to get from Johnson throughout his well-traveled career.

“We’ve got a more athletic guy with longer arms, and then he spaces the court for us also on offense,” Felton said. “It’s a different ballgame when he’s on the court, so we had to adjust to him being out.”

Johnson has been relatively durable over the course of his career, playing in at least 76 games in four of his six seasons. Last year, he appeared in 80 games for the Clippers.

“You want to be out there,” Johnson said. “Good, bad, you still want to be out there competing with your team. But they’ve been doing well. I’m eager to get back out there.”

Raptors coach Dwane Casey was in no mood to dwell on his team’s controversial loss Sunday in Sacramento, saying the league’s 29 other teams weren’t feeling sorry for the Raptors.

Except Doc Rivers sort of was.

Referees waved off Terrence Ross’ game-tying 3-pointer at the buzzer, saying the clock should have started on a deflection of a sideline out-of-bounds play, not when the pass was received by Ross. Meaning, the final 2.4 seconds of game time had expired well before Ross shot the ball, even though the game clock did not show it.

“I thought it was unfair,” said Rivers, who is a member of the league’s competition committee. “I think the game is human error. I don’t think you should be able to look at the clock and do that. I thought it was awful; I really do.”

The NBA released a statement affirming the decision of the referees, but that did not alter Rivers’ perspective.

“It’s tough because we want to get it right,” he said. “We want to get everything right in the league. That one’s a tough one, but there has to be some kind of human element to the game, otherwise the games will last 16 hours if we looked at every call.”

He pointed to one famous example.

“If we did that, Derek Fisher’s shot wouldn’t have counted against San Antonio back in the (2004) playoffs if we actually went by video,” Rivers said. “That’s why I think we can’t take everything out of the game. I thought that was a poor judgment. Glad it wasn’t us.”

Lawyers file motion to delay Trump University trial

SAN DIEGO – Donald Trump’s attorneys filed a motion to delay until after the presidential inauguration a class-action fraud lawsuit involving the president-elect and his now-defunct Trump University.

In the motion filed Saturday evening in San Diego federal court, Trump’s lawyer Daniel Petrocelli argues that the extra months would give both sides time to possibly reach a settlement.

Petrocelli lays out a detailed plan that would postpone the trial until sometime soon after the Jan. 20 inauguration to allow the president-elect to focus his time and energy on the transition to the White House, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.

The lawsuit alleging Trump University failed on its promise to teach success in real estate is scheduled to begin Nov. 28.

The motion also requests that Trump be excused from having to testify live or in person. Instead, his lawyers argue he should be allowed to be questioned by both sides in a videotaped deposition for trial purposes either shortly before Jan. 20 – when his transition duties would be nearly complete – or at a later time. That video would then be played at trial.

Petrocelli asks that the specific date and location of the recording would be kept secret, until trial, the newspaper said.

In addition, the video testimony would be used not only in this case, but in a similar Trump University lawsuit also in San Diego that is not as close to trial – ensuring Trump won’t have to testify twice.

“The videotaped testimony will ensure no additional delay of trial based on future scheduling unpredictability,” Petrocelli wrote.

If U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel denies the motion, Petrocelli requests an immediate stay on the proceedings so he can appeal to a higher court.

Curiel was informed Thursday during a hearing in the case that Trump would be seeking a continuance. The judge didn’t signal how he would rule on the request for a trial delay, but he encouraged efforts to settle. He has been reluctant to postpone the 61/2-year-old case any longer.

The lawsuit filed in 2010 on behalf of former customers says Trump University gave seminars and classes across the country under the guise of being an accredited school, which it wasn’t, and pressured people to spend up to $35,000 on mentorships from Trump’s “hand-picked” instructors.

The claims largely mirror another class-action complaint in San Diego and a lawsuit in New York.

Maureen Palmateer, Beloved Owner of Mo's Fullerton Music Center, Passes Away

Maureen Palmateer, Beloved Owner of Mo's Fullerton Music Center, Passes Away
Courtesy of Roger Palmateer

Maureen “Mo” Palmateer became one of OCs most kind-hearted, respected and adored figures for decades after running what is recognized as the instrument and knick-knack packed store known as Mo’s Fullerton Music Center. Palmateer passed away on Oct. 21, 2016 after battling cancer. She was 73. Although she is gone, her legacy will remain through her shop and the many who love and cherish her.

Born and raised in Yakima, Washington, Palmateer came from a musical family with a mother whom possessed an extraordinary talent for playing piano, violin and singing opera. During her adolescence, she belted songs with a heavenly voice and eventually started a group with her closest friends called The Shades of Rhythm. It was then she would find herself singing all over the valley. During her junior and senior year of high school, she became a student teacher for choir classes. Her family later bought a piano and music book, which Palmateer graciously raced right through in a matter of a week and became incredibly proficient at playing. Her love for music did not stop there. Mo would find herself working part time at a local radio station as a disc jockey and interviewing all the locals at the time and big names, including Little Richard. When she wasn’t spending all her time on music, she was cheer-leading and participating in civil rights protests and marches.

Palmateer started working for a chain of music stores in Chicago for a number of years in order to support her two children as a single mother. She also worked as a landscape architect and did work on Richard Nixon's house and was a plan checker for Lake Julian. After a terrible horse accident, she wound up in a wheelchair. To pass the time, Palmateer bought an organ and eventually went back to buy a bigger one. Little did she know that her love for playing the organ would land her a job at another music store. The owner of the store asked her to play and immediately offered her a position.

“He put her out in the front of the store playing the organ. And then one day, she decided to stand up and play the organ, and she’s been walking ever since," Roger Palmateer, husband, tells the Weekly.

Within her first six months of working after beginning to walk again, she sold more organs and pianos than anyone ever dreamed the point where her work had to import pianos from other markets in order to keep her busy. Her exceptional work ethic scored her an all-expense paid two week vacation to the Bahamas and a set of furniture.

Mo first worked at the Fullerton Music Center through the rental programs for pianos. After working there for years, she was offered to purchase the building and did so in the early '70s. Although Mo never intended on buying the shop, her vision was to sell pianos and organs. Her store would soon become a prominent landmark and mold Fullerton's music scene. About 19 of the teachers that worked there prior to stuck with Mo and 12 still work there to this day, bringing in over 300 students. It was recognized just a few years ago for its sheet music department and lessons and won a plaque for "Orange County's Best Sheet Music," with more than 2,500 square feet to choose from. Mo introduced a boutique element to the store and held the mentality of "the only constant is change."

Mo and her husband Roger met July 20, 1990 and married on Oct. 24, 1992. They had a small wedding and threw their party at the shop, where 350 of their friends and family showed up to enjoy a live band, acapella, the Lord's prayer, and a cake fight.

Roger describes his wife as "tough as nails," the only girl out of four siblings and proved herself to be so after having the will to come into work right after getting out of the hospital. After her visits, she would come into work at 6 a.m. and take care of her shop - aside from her and Roger's two poodles Zoom and Susie, the shop was like their baby.

Although Mo's Fullerton Music Center never gets much advertising, the shop has managed and still manages to bring in customers through word of mouth - the majority of which have been going there for decades. A sign in the music center reads "enter as strangers, leave as friends" - Mo was big on applying this to how she treated her customers and treated them with the same level of kindness and sincerity she would share with a life-long friend. Because of the level of community the shop has created, the employees know their fair share of customers on a first name basis. There is an instant welcoming and warm feeling as soon as you walk through the door that not many shops can provide.

Upcoming Events

"This is the best job I've ever had, best job I've ever had by far...Over here feels like vacation," an employee says.

Roger Palmateer has no intention of changing the store and insists on keeping it the same.

"It's painful for the ones you leave behind. There's 12 teachers in here that miss her deeply, her family - that's me, her son, daughter, son, 12 grand-kids, 8 great grandchildren...all the customers [who] come in here."

Girl Turns to Cow Riding After Being Denied a Horse

Comments Off on Girl Turns to Cow Riding After Being Denied a HorseStumble it Icon digg it Icon

After being told that she could not have a horse because they were too expensive, 11-year-old Sarah Simpson, decided to try the next best thing – riding a cow. Now 18, Sarah has her own horse, but she still rides her favorite cow, Lilac, just as much, if not more than she used to.

Sarah had been dreaming of having her own horse for as long as she can remember, but after her parents told her that buying one was to expensive, she discovered that riding a cow could be just as fun. It all started when her younger brother, Tim, dared her to try it, and even though she had no riding experience, she jumped on Lilac, a 6-months-old calf living on the family farm. The animal didn’t seem to mind, so she kept on doing it for the last six and a half years.

Cattle Rancher’s Vegan Wife Turns Ranch into Animal Sanctuary

Comments Off on Cattle Rancher’s Vegan Wife Turns Ranch into Animal SanctuaryStumble it Icon digg it Icon

For four generations, Sonnen Ranch, in Angleton, Texas, was a place where cattle were raised for dairy and eventually for slaughter, but that tradition ended a few months ago when the place became an animal shelter where cattle and other domestic animals can live out the rest of their lives in peace and comfort.

The story of this unusual transformation – believed to be unique in the country – began six years ago, shortly after owner Tommy Sonnen remarried his wife Renee. She started hanging out with the livestock, naming the cows, talking and even singing to them. Despite Tommy’s warnings not to get too attached to the cattle, she didn’t listen, and soon she became his worst nightmare – a vegan who couldn’t stand to live in the same house with a cattle rancher.

Confused Cow Thinks She Is a Dog

1 CommentStumble it Icon digg it Icon

Milkshake may be a perfectly normal-looking cow, but she’s ‘udderly’ confused. All her best friends are dogs, she refuses to graze like all the other cows and she wants her food to be brought to her in a bowl, just like for her canine friends.You guessed it, the eight-year-old Hereford heifer thinks she is a dog!

Beth DiCaprio of the Grace Foundation, who rescued Milkshake from an abusive animal hoarder, said: “I think a lot of people think it’s like a trick. She hung out with the dogs, so I think that’s what she assumed – that’s what she is, more than a cow. She doesn’t really know. She was never around another cow.” Beth even tried getting a cow friend for her, at the El Dorado Hills ranch in California, but Milkshake still feels comfortable with the pack. She follows Beth and her mutt Riley all over the ranch. “She follows me around all day long, just like my dogs – she comes and watches me tend to all the other animals. She’s even followed me into the bathroom before, although she was a little scared of her own reflection.” Milkshake has tried to get into the backseat of Beth’s car and has no problems hanging out in her house.

Fluffy Cows – Models of the Bovine World

3 CommentsStumble it Icon digg it Icon

Have you ever seen a cow that you simply couldn’t help want to cuddle? I hadn’t, until I saw these photos of extremely fluffy show calves that look like they’re modelling for some kind of bovine fashion magazine.

I first spotted these real-life plush cows on Reddit a few days ago, and I simply fell in love with them. Not in a deranged way, but I just found them irresistible and wished I had one of my own so I could sink my face in its fluffiness. Okay, enough about my weird self. These cows don’t belong to any particular breed. They are show calves, a cross between two different high-quality breeds, bred for bovine show-business. That means that apart from their genetic characteristics, owners go out of their way to make sure the cows look their best. Special feeding, basic manners training and grooming are all part of the show calf world, and believe me when I tell you a lot of effort goes into styling cattle. Just think of them as girls, but with their very own conditioners, hair sprays and lotions. Show calf trimming is also considered an art form among cattle enthusiasts, as it gives the animals that Photoshop-like boxy shape. But as you can see in the photos below, the results are nothing short of spectacular.

Indian Men Get Trampled by Cattle in Traditional Ritual

1 CommentStumble it Icon digg it Icon

In villages around the Ujain region, in India’s central state of Madhya Pradesh, men lay down on the ground and have their cattle trample all over them, as part of a bizarre centuries-old ritual.

There are a many things people will do in order to have their prayers answered by their gods, but until today, I didn’t know getting trampled by cattle was one of them. In a weird example of blind faith, dozens of villagers from Bhidawad village and neighboring settlements decorate their cattle with colours and henna in different patterns, then lay down on the ground and get trampled by the confused animals. The ritual takes place on the occasion of Ekadashi, a day after Diwali, the popular Hindu festival of lights, which was celebrated around the world on November 13. The whole village gathers in the streets to witness the painful event that they believe will make Hindu gods answer their prayers. “This is a traditional festival observed during Ekadashi fast after which the entire village’s cows are made to run over men lying on the ground, ” local Rekha Dubey told reporters. “We worship the cows before the ritual and also fast for five days and sing hymns during the festival.”

German Website Offers Cow-Killing Options for Tastier Beef

2 CommentsStumble it Icon digg it Icon

A German beef-selling website is offering clients the bizarre option of choosing how their favorite breed of cow gets slaughtered., a beef-selling web-store owned by a company based in the northeastern German state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is all about offering customers choices. They allow people to choose from various breeds of cattle, like the succulent Angus, or the delicious Galloway, and even to order steaks from specific farms they own in the German countryside. But the weirdest think is they actually let people decide how they want their cow slaughtered. That sounds kind of sick, right? Well I thought so too, but apparently the guys at have an explanation for making this choice possible for their customers.

Finnish Artist Uses Discarded Car Parts to Make Giant Sculptures of Cows

3 CommentsStumble it Icon digg it Icon

Helsinki-based Miina Akkijyrkka has made a name for herself in the art world based almost exclusively on the image of the cow. Throughout her long career she has created various representations of the bovine that have managed to spun both interest and controversy.

Using the cow as inspiration for an art career may seem strange, but it makes a lot more sense once you take a look at her schooling history. She studied horses at the Equine College Ypäjä, then turned to studying dairy farming at the Dairy Farming School of North-Savo, before attending the School of Fine Arts of Finland. Miina is known as a protector of Finncattle, the native Finnish dairy breed, and even owns her own cows.

Asked about her relationship with cows, Miina Akkijyrkka told art21: My feelings for the cows are deeper than a mother’s feelings for her children, stronger than any feeling I have ever had for a lover, more than any other thing on earth; it’s like blood vessels. I share a placenta with cows. We share the same blood. I look at the world through a cow’s telescope. I have a tiny piece of macaroni through which I look at the world from a cow’s point of view.

Box Score

COLUMBUS, Ohio - The No. 58-ranked Ohio State women's tennis team moved to 4-0 on the season with its third-consecutive shutout victory, downing Eastern Kentucky, 7-0, inside the Ohio State University Varsity Indoor Tennis Center Wednesday evening on Buckeyes Go Pink day.

“We are sitting where we hoped to be going into our Big Ten opener against Nebraska,” Melissa Schaub, Ohio State interim head coach, said. “The players have been working hard and it’s nice to see their hard work pay off with a 4-0 start. We have great energy and fight each match and have done a good job controlling what we can control.”

Up next, the Buckeyes begin Big Ten play vs. Nebraska at 11:30 a.m. Saturday in the Varsity Indoor Tennis Center. Admission is free to all Buckeye home matches. The match is Campus Kids' Day, designed to expose junior players, their parents and coaches to college varsity team tennis. For children at the match, there will be giveaways, free pizza and drinks, free racquet stenciling and a post-match autograph session.

The Buckeyes swept the doubles matches. On court three, senior Gabby Steele and freshman Grainne O'Neill posted an 8-2 victory over Amandine Faouzi and Carmen Rodriguez, followed by the tandem of sophomore Kelsey Dieters and senior Kara Cecil downing Kristina Labeja and Milena Poffo on court two, 8-1, to capture the doubles point and win their fifth match in a row. Senior Fidan Manashirova and redshirt freshman Nicole Flower closed out the sweep with an 8-3 win at No. 1 against Melissa Gerritsen and Saioa Oscoz.

On court four, Manashirova put Ohio State up 2-0, dropping just two games in a 6-2, 6-0 victory over Oscoz. O'Neill was a 6-3, 6-2 winner at No. 5 over Poffo, followed shortly by a 6-2, 6-2 win by Flower on court six to clinch the Buckeyes' team victory.

Dieters, ranked No. 41, closed out Labeja, 6-2, 6-2, on court two for her ninth-consecutive victory. Against Faouzi on court one, Cecil won the first set in a tiebreaker and then claimed the match with a 6-2 set-two win. After dropping the first set, Steel tied her match with a 6-1 win in set two and then prevailed in a super tiebreaker, 1-0 (7), to preserve her eighth singles win in a row.

As part of Buckeyes Go Pink day, donations were collected and raffles and a bake sale were held to raise funds for the Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research.

Q:What's the fire resistance test method of doors and roller shutters?
Fire resistance test method of doors and roller shutters: This standard specifies the fire resistance test method for roller shutter doors under standard fire conditions. The method is used to test the fire resistance of the ventilating duct when bearing the external fire (A duct) and internal fire (B duct). Fire resistance test of vertical ducts may be conducted referring to this standard. 1.Test specimen1.1 The test specimen is obtained by cutting from any part of the qualified metal tube unless otherwise relevant standard or mutual agreement specifies the cutting position of the metal tube. 1.2 Length of the specimen: L≈2.5D+50mm (D: outer diameter of the metal tube). The cut surface of the specimen must be perpendicular to the axis of the metal , and the seamed edge of the cut should be round off. Test method GB243-82 of metal tube necking 2. Test procedures 2.1 In the test, punch or press the metal tube into the tapered conical seat (see Figure) with a hammer or press machine, and make it uniformly diminished to the regulated shrinkage X which is calculated according to the following formula: Test method GB243-822 for metallic pipe necking: The inner wall of the seat cover used in the test should be polished, and has certain hardness and is coated with lubricating oil. Its conicity is 1:10, 1:5 or others in accordance with relevant standard provisions. If there is no provision, then adopt the conicity of 1:10. This standard is not suitable for: a) The pipeline whose fire resistance depends on the fire resistance of the ceiling; b) The pipeline with access door, unless otherwise the access door is included into the pipeline and tested together; c) The pipeline with two or three sides; d) Fume exhaust pipes;
Q:I wanna ask you, which level is b1 fireproof and thermal inuslation matertial ??
What you said is the pixel! Only that has b1b2. Level b1 is the fireproofing level b1, because the particle does not belong to the fireproofing material. Only can fire retardant. The wholesale of all kinds of thermal insulation material and construction need to look at the name.
Q:How should fireproof building materials be ranked?
Division of fire-proof grade of buildings is one of the most basic measures in the fire-fighting technology and measures of buildings. According to our national code of building design, fire-proof grade of buildings are classified into four levels of first, second, third and fourth, of which the first level is the highest in fire resistance and the fourth level is lowest in fire resistance. Fire resistance rating of buildings depends on the combustion performance and fire endurance of the building component. The so-called building component refers to the walls, foundations, beams, pillars, floors, stairs, ceilings, etc.
Q:What's the feature of construction external wall fireproof and thermal inuslation matertial?
Building external wall fireproof thermal insulation material is made by stirring, casting, foam protecting and cutting with industrial by-product gypsum as the main raw material, adding sulphate aluminium cement, fly-ash, polymer additives and other materials. It has excellent properties of respiratory function , air permeability, water impermeability, recycling system data, wind load resistance, shock resistance, thermal insulation, fireproof and sound insulation.
Q:Why the refractories should be waterproof and wetproof
The binding agent of many raw materials is water-soluble. It will be useless when meeting water.
Q:How to divide the materials according to the National Fireproofing Material Standard?
Each country has its own fire safety standards, I do not know which country's standard do you want to know, and each country of fireproof material to the division level is not the same. GB GB 8624, the German standard DIN 4102-1, the British standard BS 476, French standard NF P92 -501 and so on. GB 8624 is Chinese building materials and grade of combustion performance. The information coming form fire resources network (FireTC.
Q:Does the aluminum silicate thermal insulation material fireproof?
With stable performance,long fiber length, strong tensile strength, strong seismic performance, low shot, light unit weight, low thermal conductivity, good insulation properties. it is not bad.
Q:Who knows what kind of fire protection material is better?
Characteristic of polyurethane rigid foam thermal insulation decorative composite board: (1) ultra high cost performance, increased property's selling point (high cost performance) new model of thermal insulation material, excellent thermal insulation properties, elegant decorative effect, 50 years of service life, reduce maintenance costs and social waste. (2) it overcomes defects of traditional insulation technology (to solve the freezing and thawing, veneer cracking and shedding) traditional benzene board, the phenomenon of freezing and thawing that is easily appear in plastic extruded sheet, paint finish is easy to crack; its veneer facing can easily fall off; thermal insulation materials and wall are poorly adhered, easy off the whole. There is a themal bridge in dry hanging wall. (the characteristics of polyurethane composite board)
Q:What occupational hazards should be detected in glass ceramic and refractories industry?
Q:What are unshaped fire-resisitance materials?
Refractory castable, refractory plastic material, usually classified according to construction and manufacture method, unfired bricks precast block, refractory pressed into material, refractory cast material, refractory coating, refractory ramming material there are many classification methods

Bangladesh lifts ban on export of Hilsa fish

Kolkata, Feb 11 : Foodies in Kolkata deprived of chicken due to the incidence of bird flu and feeling deprived of their cherished 'Hilsa' (a fish variety) after Bangladesh banned export to India, can finally relish the delicacy, as the ban has been lifted.

People are happy that the fish will now be available throughout the year.

Importers feel that it is a golden opportunity to make up for last year's loss, as business was lost during the prime six months due to the ban.

"Taking into consideration that it is off season when people don't even think about the Hilsa, we are getting fresh hilsa and it tastes just like it does in the monsoon season," said Syed Anwar Maasood, Secretary, fish importer association.

"The fish that we get in February will be available throughout the year. Bangladesh banned fish exports a few months back, but now it is good that they have resumed the exports," Jaidev Das, a fish retailer.

Fish retailers said that the prices of Hilsa in winter are comparatively low, between Rs 150-300 a kilogram depending on the size, but last year during the monsoon it touched Rs 350-500 a kilogram.

Importers are thrilled and claim that on a week day, the import of Hilsa is about 35-40 metric tonnes.

"We buy fish from here and take it to the market for selling. Everyone is buying fishes in large quantities and Bengalis are relishing the authentic delicacy after the ban," Bhajan Das, a fish retailer.

The silvery Hilsa, swarm into Bangladesh rivers from the Bay of Bengal between June and September.

Last year due to the scarcity of Hilsa fish in the West Bengal market, prices skyrocketed, making it out of reach for common folk.

Bangladesh exports about five billion taka (US70 million dollars) of Hilsa annually, mostly to India.
