Monday Jan 28, 2008 Big Census Johnston hits Michael Lipman hard Big Samoan prop Census Johnston puts the shoulder in on Bath flanker Michael Lipman in yesterdays Guiness Premiership match between Saracens and Bath.Well timed, but probably not legal, the ref ignored it though. Commentators picked up on the hit though and made a fuss. Great camera work to get some nice replays that make it look a helluva lot like a rugby league hit.Nice to see big front rankers putting in hits like this. Yes, probably not legal, but spectacular to watch from the safety of the couch nonetheless. This video has gone missing. If anyone has a clip of it, please get in touch . Thanks.

Nicolas Maduro speaking at Hostos Community College in the Bronx.Bronx, N.Y. — When the history books in the U.S. are finally written by the working class, they will write about the special relationship between the people of the Bronx, N.Y., and the Venezuelan Bolivarian Revolution.Since the advent of the revolutionary movement ushered in by President Hugh Chávez Frias, the community of the Bronx has been the center of a rich connection between the two.And on Sept. 24 President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela continued that rich tradition with a rousing address to a very welcoming crowd at Hostos Community College in the Bronx.Over 1,000 overwhelmingly Latino/a students, community activists, union members and progressives gave an exciting welcome to the President. Unlike many other such events, President Maduro entered the well-known auditorium through the back, instead of in the front through the stage as most VIPs and speakers usually do, with a cheering reception from the surprised audience.And true to his trademark, the “Peoples President” Maduro sat with the audience in the auditorium to listen to the first part of the program. The event opened with an amazing performance by the Up Beat NYC Youth Orchestra, which is a nonprofit, community-based group modeled on El Sistema youth orchestra in Venezuela. The audience gave the youth orchestra a wonderful standing ovation.President Maduro began his remarks by offering Up Beat a trip to Venezuela, which also brought cheers from the crowd.Other speakers on the program included Wanda Salaman, executive Director of Mothers on the Move in the Bronx, as well as Joe Kennedy II, who talked about the fact that over a million families have been provided heat in this country thanks to the aid provided by Citgo, a subsidiary of Venezuela’s oil company.Rev. Danilo LaChapel gave the opening invocation and talked about the inspiration the revolutionary movement in Latin America is giving to the world. He also stressed the importance of solidarity with the Haitian people.In the audience were former City Councilmember Charles Barron; Rukia Lumumba, the daughter of late Jackson, Miss., Mayor Chokwe Lumumba; Natasha Lycia Bannan, the president of the National Lawyers Guild; Puerto Rican and Cuban solidarity activists; and many revolutionaries from throughout the area.President Maduro speaks truth to powerIt was indeed very important that the solidarity movement hear directly from the president of Venezuela.U.S. imperialism has ratcheted up its war against the Bolivarian Revolution with constant defamation and slander. With the unfortunate and untimely death of President Chávez, Venezuela’s enemies expected the revolution to founder.The bourgeois media have been constant in unfavorably comparing President Maduro to Chávez, with the word “uncharismatic” becoming almost synonymous with Maduro.But President Maduro clearly blew that theory off the charts with his presentation Sept. 24, which received numerous standing ovations.As President Maduro defended the gains of the Bolivarian Revolution and the progress of the countries in ALBA, the Bolivarian Alliance, he addressed the media’s defamation campaign. He pointed out that due to the demands of running the country, he had almost decided not to travel to attend the U.N. General Assembly events.But the Sunday, Sept. 21 editorials in both the New York Times and the Washington Post were so scurrilous and vitriolic against him, he decided that he “had to come.”President Maduro told the crowd that in the Washington Post editorial, he was referred to as an “economically illiterate former bus driver.”When he said, “I am proud to have been a worker of the Caracas metro, to have been a day-laborer and now be president; I’ll let everyone at the Washington Post know,” the entire crowd immediately rose to its feet in thundering applause and cheers.“How many [false] things are said daily of Venezuela among mass Western media?” he continued. “How many lies are fabricated in relation to the lives of the noble people of Venezuela, whose only sin was to aspire and dream of a new society, by constructing new socioeconomic and political models which surpass capitalism.“To the Department of State, the Pentagon, the National Communication Association, to the White House, I ask you now to rectify the erratic political abuse of Venezuela and our revolution, because our revolution will not fall. On the contrary, it is rooted in popular, democratic constitutionality … and we have the reason and the right to continue it.”Other highlights of President Maduro’s speech were when he called for Puerto Rico to join ALBA and for the U.S. government to free political prisoner Oscar Lopez Rivera. The crowd went wild then, especially the countless Puerto Ricans in the audience who had brought banners with Oscar’s face on them.President Maduro also expressed solidarity with the Cuban Revolution and called for the freedom of the remaining Cuban Five prisoners.In the audience was a delegation of Boston school bus drivers from Steelworkers Union Local 8751, who had traveled the long distance to welcome and greet President Maduro. Andre Francois, Steve Kirschbaum and Steve Gillis made the trip to express their solidarity not only with the Bolivarian Revolution but with a former bus driver.Andre Francois was selected to sit in the VIP section and meet President Maduro when the Venezuelans in charge of the event were told that representatives of a bus drivers’ union would be present.Francois told Workers World that he wished he had been able to say a few words to the event. Organizers who secured tickets for the bus drivers promised that next time they would definitely work to make that happen.FacebookTwitterWhatsAppEmailPrintMoreShare thisFacebookTwitterWhatsAppEmailPrintMoreShare this
Facebook Twitter US Ethanol Production Down, Hits 51 Week Low SHARE By Gary Truitt – Apr 27, 2016 Home Energy US Ethanol Production Down, Hits 51 Week Low Previous articlePre-World Pork Expo Tours to Include Indiana FarmsNext articleFarmers Need Government Support, Not Opposition Gary Truitt Facebook Twitter According to EIA data, ethanol production averaged 927,000 barrels per day (b/d)—or 38.93 million gallons daily.

Like other observers, Reporters Without Borders is not entirely convinced by the Oaxaca state attorney-general’s announcement last week that a former public education employee, Lenin Osorio Ortega, has been arrested for the fatal shooting of US journalist Brad Will, an Indymedia cameraman, in the southern city of Oaxaca in October 2006.Coming nearly six years after Will’s murder during a wave of unrest that was crushed violently by the Oaxaca state authorities, this new development has so far failed to dispel all the doubts and suspicion surrounding the case.“While undertaking to respect the position of the Will family, which has yet to formally express its opinion, we have our reservations about the claims being made in connection with Osorio’s arrest,” Reporters Without Borders said. “The past serious irregularities in this case, which was entrusted to the federal judicial authorities in 2007, have never been properly investigated and we have not forgotten that someone was wrongly accused and was held for more than a year before being released for lack of evidence.”Will was killed while covering a large protest by a grass-roots opposition group called the Popular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca (APPO) in Santa Lucia del Camino, on the outskirts of the city of Oaxaca, on 27 October 2006. He was fatally injured by shots that came from the direction of bodyguards employed by then Oaxaca state governor Ulises Ruiz Ortiz, a leading member of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).The ensuing investigation was marred by tampering with ballistic and autopsy reports and the complete impunity enjoyed by individuals who were identified by many witness. Even more seriously, it led to APPO activist Juan Manuel Martínez Moreno’s arbitrary arrest as a suspect, an arrest condemned by the Will family. Martínez was finally released on 18 February 2010 and all charges against him were dropped.The new suspect, Osorio, 39, a former employee of the Oaxaca Institute for Public Education (IEEPO), has a more plausible profile. The Will family’s Mexican lawyer, Miguel Angel de los Santos, told Reporters Without Borders: “Right from the outset, he was identified by witnesses as a member of a group of PRI supporters who were in Santa Lucia del Camino that day.”But Oaxaca state attorney-general Manuel de Jesús de López’s insistence, when announcing Osorio’s arrest on 23 May, that the fatal shots were fired from some distance, is more likely to be disputed.De Los Santos pointed out that the witnesses he took to the attorney-general’s office were sidelined and even threatened with prosecution. Calling for an investigation into former Governor Ruiz’s role, he said: “Will’s murder was not isolated. Two APPO members were also killed there.” The news agency Proceso (which is linked to the newsweekly of the same name) has meanwhile reported that Osorio was arrested along with three other people on 9 March, not 23 May, as the attorney-general announced.“All the aspects need to be checked,” Reporters Without Borders said. “We support the Will family lawyer’s initiatives. The investigation should explore all the leads, without trying to block examination of the most compromising aspects. “Attempts to shed light on some of the other 83 murders of journalists – and 14 disappearances –in the past decade have been sabotaged or paralyzed by the complicity or, at best, incompetence of the investigators. The overwhelming majority of these cases are unfortunately still unpunished.” 2011-2020: A study of journalist murders in Latin America confirms the importance of strengthening protection policies May 13, 2021 Find out more Reports News to go further May 30, 2012 – Updated on January 20, 2016 Arrest of suspect in US cameraman’s 2006 murder greeted with caution NSO Group hasn’t kept its promises on human rights, RSF and other NGOs say News

The 56 year, who has 19 convictions for sex offences, including some against children, is thought to pose a significant risk of reoffending – he’s banned from associating with children. Gardaí were also alerted by Lancashire Police amid fears he may travel across the border. A local businessman in Dungloe says he saw a man acting strangely in a dark grey coloured estate car opposite his premises in the town. When he arrived home, the businessman saw a photograph of Paden on a TV news report and immediately identified him as the same person he’d seen a short time earlier. He returned to the local Garda station and made a report.The Garda Press Office declined to confirm that a member of the public had reported to them that Paden had been seen in West Donegal, and would not comment on whether Gardaí would be investigating further.

Las Vegas Fire Department(LAS VEGAS) — A criminal investigation is underway after six people were killed in an apartment fire in Las Vegas, a source briefed on the case told ABC News.Investigators with the police and fire departments are trying to determine whether the deadly blaze on Saturday morning was the result of criminal negligence, and, if so, who is at fault.According to the source, preliminary information suggests the back door on the first floor had been bolted or chained shut, blocking off a key escape route.Detectives have already served search warrants connected with the probe, the source said.Six people were killed and 13 were hurt when the Alpine Motel Apartments caught fire around 4 a.m., officials said.Responders raced to the scene to find people hanging out of windows — and some people jumping — as thick, black smoke poured out of the building, according to the Las Vegas Fire and Rescue Department.Three pets were also found dead, officials said.The blaze is believed to be Las Vegas’ worst fatal fire in history, officials said.The building was cited for more than 70 fire code violations during the last major inspection in 2017. The structure’s history of violations and whether they were corrected is a key focus of the investigation, according to the source.Fire investigators said Saturday they believed the blaze started around an apartment stove which was being used as a substitute for heat.Las Vegas police declined to comment Monday, except to say the investigation is ongoing.Copyright © 2019, ABC Radio.

PeopleImages/iStock(NEW YORK) — In the last week, cases of coronavirus have spiked around the country causing New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to announce a 100% workforce reduction for all non-essential businesses statewide, while California Governor Gavin Newsom issued a “stay-at-home” order for all of the state’s 40 million people.ABC’s Cheri Preston checks in to areas around the United States for ABC News Radio’s “Perspective” podcast, asking how different states are handling a new normal — social distancing and the novel coronavirus.Listen to the full interview with Cheri Preston and the rest of this past week’s highlights here:First, is Joe Kelley from ABC News Radio affiliate WDBO in Orlando, Florida.“Just a week ago, I mean, we were saying there’s no way, there’s no way that they’re going to close our theme parks, and then they closed our theme parks. And then you say there’s no way they’re gonna close the hotels, and then they closed the hotels…” Kelley said.The economy in Orlando has turned upside-down basically overnight. Theme parks, hotels and restaurants all closing or limiting services due to a virus that is spreading faster than anyone could have predicted.Restaurants, bars and nightclubs were restricted to serve alcohol for at least a month right before St. Patrick’s Day festivities began and spring break vacationers commenced their celebrations. Employees who have depended on an income from these jobs are now out of work while other companies recommend working from home, like Joe Kelley.“I am in the radio station at this moment, but only because we are still assembling my home studio,” Kelley shared.A new normal for many, setting up make-shift work spaces, cleaning and being watchful of the people and belongings surrounding them. Joe Kelley falls into the category of the immunocompromised. From having cancer as a teenager, another cancer diagnosis about nine years ago, to infusion therapy once a month to help his immune system, Kelley is taking no chances.“I’m keeping away from everybody. I’ve ordered takeout food delivered to my house and I tell the driver, just leave it out front. I mean, I have really isolated myself and I’m not a fan of that, I don’t like that but it is what it is,” Kelley said.Heading to the other side of the country — Los Angeles — where Jennifer Jones Lee, host of “Wake Up Call” on KFI radio, shares what has been happening in California with their new directive to “stay-at-home”.“It really means unless you’ve got to go to the grocery store, the gas station, the bank or the pharmacy, you are supposed to stay home. The governor says if you need to walk your dog, you can do that. But even that is in a social distancing aspect,” Jones Lee explains.The economy in California is also suffering, studio lots — a popular way of making a living in the state — have come to a halt. Restaurants and bars have limited services, turning to take-out only. Though some restaurants continue to push forward, by converting once dine-in restaurants into pop-up convenience stores. Customers that once came in for a cooked meal, can now find produce and meats set up in cold stations for purchase, while other necessities hard to come by nowadays — like toilet paper — are also available.It may seem difficult to tell 40 million people across the state of California to “stay-at-home” but like Jennifer Jones Lee explains, “I think it’s when it hits locally also that it’s making such an impact. When you hear more and more people are coming down with the virus, more and more people are dying of the virus, that’s when people start to get nervous. That’s when they’re taking the social distancing more seriously.”Although a majority of people recover from COVID-19, it can cause more serious illness for older adults and those with compromised immune systems. Therefore, practicing social distance and washing hands to prevent the spread of the virus, is key to keeping everyone healthy and safe.Copyright © 2020, ABC Audio. All rights reserved
