In the cases of Felix Anthony and Daniel Urai, government does not comment on the particulars of ongoing trials.

corruption led to 2006 savusavu airport militarY takeover terminal upgrade the Fijian theme
One of the reasons for staging the 2006 military takeover was to get rid of corruption says Fijis Ambassador to United States of America Winston Thompson. Speaking to The Diplomat magazine, Thompson said the military felt the issue of corruption was getting out of hand in Fiji. If you look back on the record, the current government very have its airport terminal designed to depict the unique Fijian culture and tradition. Airports Fiji Limited board chairman Adrian AFLs decision to have all airports portray Fijis multi cultural heritage as a requirement. He said that while plans are currently in its preliminary stages, work on the new-look terminal will begin next year. We are currently looking for local architects to design the terminal. We do not want an overseas architect because we have made it a requirement for all our airports so that tourists and visitors feel Fiji everywhere from the moment they get off We will be working with local architects for the next two months before work begins at the hidden paradise (Savusavu). aside $0.8million for the works following the completion of their biggest project this year in the outer islands. We have just completed work on the Lakeba runway last week where we spent $800,000 and next on the list is Savusavu, AFL is hoping that work in Savusavu completes by the end of 2012.
the UN Convention Against Corruption and set up the Fiji Independence Commission Against Corruption that has gone into addressing the corruption issue in a vigorous way, he said. He said Fiji is made up of two big components, ethnic Fijians and ethnic
Indians which need policies in the government system that bring them to a common position. This, he said the overthrown government was not doing. It was processing legislation that would in fact give over the seas and reefs as outright cent of whom are ethnically Fijian, said Thompson. He said that wasnt seen by the military as unifying. They were also processing legislation which would have given amnesty to those that had staged the coup in 2000, including releasing those who were imprisoned and being prosecuted.
What B.C. drivers need to know about winter tires and insurance
Although winter tires are not mandatory in B.C., ICBC recommends their use in winter conditions particularly if you live in an area where you would normally expect a lot of snow. In snowy conditions, driving without proper winter tires may not be the wisest or safest decision, but it does not affect a customers insurance coverage or eligibility to make a claim. Drivers are always responsible for ensuring their vehicles are properly equipped for road conditions, just like making sure your wipers and headlamps are working well on dark and rainy nights. Driving without winter tires will not void your insurance in the event of a claim or mean that you are automatically at-fault for a crash. However, if you get in a crash where winter tires could have helped it may be a deciding factor in determining whether or how much you are at-fault. Keep in mind that the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure can also designate that winter tires are required on certain roads and highways. This typically happens during the fall and winter months in northern B.C. and the Southern Interior. If you are driving on these roads without winter tires, police can ticket you and make you turn back. Winter tires are particularly recommended in areas of B.C. that experience substantial snowfall because they deliver better snow and ice performance. The tread designs on winter tires provide much better traction for driving in winter road conditions. Winter tires alone are not enough drivers need to make smart driving decisions and adjust their driving to the road conditions. In winter weather, drivers should allow more time for travelling and most importantly, slow down and keep your distance from other vehicles so you can see more of the road and give yourself more time to react in case of the unexpected. For customer enquiries on winter tires and insurance, please call 604-661-2800 (Lower Mainland) or 1-800-663-3051 (elsewhere in B.C.) between 8 am and 7pm Monday to Friday or 9am to 5pm Saturday.

man gives his new quake rules chihuahua the urged For old buildings kiss oF liFe
New Zealand has no clear rules for quakestrengthening old buildings, a United States engineering expert says. Californian consultant engineer Bret Lizundia, of Rutherford and Chekene, gave evidence to the Canterbury Earthquakes royal commission of inquiry. The commission is considering design standards for unreinforced masonry buildings, Christchurch's February 22 earthquake. Lizundia said California had two different standards for quake-strengthening existing and new building. But in New Zealand engineers appeared to rely on a rough interpretation of standards for new buildings and the inappropriate use of an industry guideline. "Neither of these are documents that are specifically tailored to the challenges of retrofitting existing buildings," he said. "This leads to a widespread difference of implementation." There was a "big need" to develop separate standards for quake-strengthening existing buildings in New Zealand, he said. His comments follow similar concerns raised by the commissioners, who quizzed Auckland University Associate Professor Jason Ingham about industry standards. Lizundia also said there should be national rules for strengthening quake-prone buildings, rather than leaving the decisionmaking to local councils. "If there is political will in New Zealand and the legislature to do it that would be better than leaving it to individual communities." Lizundia was commenting on Ingham's report to the commission, which recommended unreinforced masonry buildings be strengthened to a minimum of two thirds of the building code double the current standard. The two-week royal commission hearing into unreinforced masonry is the third of 11 looking into the failure of buildings in the Canterbury earthquakes. Another hearing next month will consider specific unreinforced masonry buildings which collapsed causing death in the February 22 quake. an auckland man proved himself the ultimate dog lover by saving his tiny chihuahuas life with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation during a canine seizure. but said there was no embarrassment about locking lips with his beloved one-year-old dog Peanut after it started convulsing. "What do you do? It's in your arms and you know it's dying it's just instinct," he told the reporter. He said Peanut had been prone to seizures ever since he was dropped on his head as a young puppy. While at a mate's house last Friday, the dog went to urinate on the dining room table and got a light smack on the head from the friend, sending him into seizure. The owner scooped up his miniature pet, whose heart had stopped beating, and started blowing air into his mouth from a centimeter away. "I thought to myself, 'What are you f***ing doing, mate? That's not going to do anything. "So then it was just 'boom' I put my lips straight on, but I had to be careful not to blow his little insides out." After pulling the dog's tongue out and tilting his head back, Peanut finally started coming back to life, said the man, recalling that "incredible" moment. Peanut spent a night at the vet but was back to his "crazy" old self by Sunday, his owner said.

child's severed truckie hollY averYt gets $us10m aFter Foot discovered deliverY slip at on new York lawn
a man taking out the garbage at his new York home discovered a child's severed foot on the lawn. Police believe it belonged to a three or four year old whose gender was not immediately clear. Paul Lawrence found the foot in front of a three-story, three-family home in Rosedale, "It looked just like a piece of meat, a skinless piece of meat with bone," resident. "I looked closer and decided it looked like a foot." He called over the next-door neighbors, who own the house. One of them, Sheldon Pouchet, said, "I thought it was a Halloween prop, but it wasn't. I said, 'Let's let the police do their job and figure it out.' If you see something like that, you don't touch it. You call forensics." Police later confirmed that it was a human foot. "I've never seen or heard about anything like that before," Pouchet said. "I feel real pity for the family of the child." A third-floor resident, who asked to be identified only as Sharon, said she came home to see the lawn swarming with more than a dozen detectives and crime-scene technicians. One of the officers told her why they were there. "That's somebody's baby!" the horrified woman said later. "An animal is one thing, but to find a human body part is a whole other story. It's enough to freak me out. I live here with my 12-year-old daughter. I'm ready to move." Officers brought in at least two dogs late last night, who sniffed around the lawn and house but apparently found nothing. A cop at the scene said police were baffled. "We really don't know what's going on," he said.

a us truck driver who slipped and fell on ice and grease while making a delivery to a wal-mart store can collect a nearly $us10 million ($9.66 million) in compensation after the colorado supreme court upheld a jury verdict in the case. Cheyenne, Wyoming, had to undergo three spine surgeries, was unable to return to work and lost her truck. Her lawyers presented city documents during the original trial that showed some grease from the northern Colorado store's deli didn't get trapped in a device designed to keep it from getting into the sewer. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc, told jurors there had been no grease spill at the store in Greeley. million) to Averyt in November 2010. Wal-Mart appealed and a lower court granted the company a new trial, saying the award was "excessive, not supported by the evidence and could only be the result of prejudice and bias and the jury's desire to punish Wal-Mart". Wal-Mart had also said in its appeal that Averyt's lawyers failed to disclose the city documents. The Supreme Court's ruling threw out the order for a new trial, saying Averyt's lawyers had no requirement to disclose a document that could be easily found in public records. The court also said any prejudice the jury may have harboured toward the company was due to its initial refusal to produce evidence or admit the existence of the grease spill. Justices reduced the award amount by about state cap on non-economic damages. Averyt lawyer Bob Miller said "justice was done" with today's ruling. Lawyers for Wal-Mart and a company spokesman didn't return a call and email seeking comment.

BalanCed Canada needs foreign Budget delayed spy serviCe: experts a year: flaherty
Its high time Canada had a proper foreign spy agency, especially if the feds are serious about positioning Canada as a country that punches above its weight on the international stage. And security expert Christian Leuprecht said Canada could have one of the best foreign intelligence services in the world, given its very diverse population and the good relations the government has with Canadas ethnic communities. And with a Canadian passport you can travel anywhere without too many people asking too many questions, Leuprect said Monday. If Canada wants to be, and Stephen Harper wants Canada to be a serious international player, were going to need a foreign intelligence service for the 21st century the way threats are shaking out.

In that bi-polar world, Canada piggybacked on the U.S. and Britain for foreign intelligence.

He said its essential to update the CSIS operating already. Hed also like the feds to initiate a public discussion about the future role of CSIS. In a democracy thats what you want. You cant do this in the shadows, he said. There would be criticism and skepticism ... but I dont think there would be huge opposition to the idea of a Canadian foreign intelligence service. During the 2006 federal election campaign, the Conservatives pledged to create a separate foreign intelligence agency but have since shied away from the idea. According to Mike Patton, a spokesman such decisions have been made regarding the future of CSIS. But Patton acknowledged that terrorism remains one of the greatest threats to Canada, and legal intelligence gathering methods are important and necessary elements in the

kick at the can in Johnny English Reborn. Brought back for a second shot by Universal Pictures, Johnny English Reborn marks the return of loveable Rowan Atkinson (Bean) in his second most famous or is that infamous role. Thanks to the resurgence of the 007 franchise the brainchild behind this movie felt the time was right for a return of the spy who should never have been given a license to do anything. Ah, all is not lost, since I guess we just have to put up with him for a rocky 101 minutes. All kidding aside, Johnny English juvenile set, those who like stupid
gags and one liners. Atkinson is in after a brief hiatus after a botched mission. Orders given to him this time by Pegasus involve protecting a Chinese diplomat from a pending assassination. Playing the Q type task master is Gillian Atkinson (The X-Files) whos stern though likeable demeanour pales in comparison to the daffy animal magnetism of Mr. English. Along to help English with his protective duties are rookie agent Tucker, nicely delivered by Daniel Kaluuya. However, their task is potential double agent in their midst. Others who shore up the British Defense establishment include Agent Ambrose, portrayed with great roguish relish by Dominic West (Hannibal Rising) and team psychologist Kate, nicely delivered by Rosamund Pike (Die Another Day). Behind all this foolish mess is director Olive Parker (An Ideal Husband). Fans of Atkinson and the original Johnny English will enjoy this farce. Lots of take offs on the original Bond series are in evidence here as is a tribute of sorts to Kato of The Pink Panther fame. Some of these gags work, others dont. If you like silly stories with a likeable funny face hero then Johnny English Reborn may give you a few chuckles but dont expect any long-sustained laughs or much true old boys.

Julia isnt based on anyone Ive met, so it was a case of going into my own dark imagination and seeing what I could come up with, she told Daily Express in an interview. Its so outrageous that you just get to have complete abandon and not worry if youre being inappropriate. I loved that, she said.

history.
While ZUFFA could have opted to throw Henderson and Mauricio Shogun Rua as the main event and taken no negative Survivor Series is right around the corner and one of the matches getting a lot of attention is John Cena and The Rock teaming up to take on Awesome Truth. Miz and Truth have been getting some decent exposure lately and look to be gaining momentum going into Survivor Series. Cena and Rock despite being opponents at WrestleMania have set aside their differences to rid the WWE of Miz and Truth. The problem I see with this is unless one of these guys turns heel before Mania then we will have two of the biggest baby faces of all time facing off. While I see why that kind of match us appealing I think WWE needs to turn one of them heel. To have a guy like The Rock, who is still incredibly popular with fans, to face the current top guy and have them both be good guys will not be the best atmosphere. My guess is Cena will win at Mania simply because there is nothing to gain with a Rock victory. Having Rock turn heel prior to the match would allow for a similar situation to when Rock faced Hogan so many years ago. Hogan went into the match a heel with the new NWO but came out of the match a baby face. This is the same thing that could happen with The Rock. I would love to see Cena turn heel and run a muck in WWE but I have a feeling those dreams will never come to pass, at least not anytime soon. The only logical choice would be to have Rock turn heel. He is going to be cheered by people whether he is a heel or not but if he goes into the match a face then he will probably have a bigger ovation than Cena would get. Cena going into the match as the only baby face would help the crowd get behind him a little more. Despite Cenas popularity he still gets mixed reactions from the people who prefer their wrestlers not to tow the company line. I like Cena and I think he has done a lot for WWE but I dont think he is universally popular enough to pull off a face vs face match with Rocky. I am looking forward to Survivor Series because I know it will be a good event based on what has been set so far. The tag match may not be the one I want to see the most but I am looking forward to seeing The Rock wrestle again. I just hope he takes the time to practice with someone so he doesnt have too much ring rust. What do you think, is it necessary for one of them to be a heel going into
