Mueller's investigation reportedly includes Trump's finances
Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation regarding possible collusion between President Trump's campaign and the Russian government has expanded to include Trump's finances and possible financial crimes, according to a new CNN report.
The reasoning: Mueller can investigate any matters that "arose or may arise directly from the investigation," and Trump's expansive real estate web — especially his prior dealings with Russia, including the 2013 Miss Universe pageant — leaves his finances open to investigation. It also allows Mueller to find leads to push Trump business associates to cooperate.
Why it matters: Trump has long resisted close inspections of his finances, and he told the New York Times it would be "a violation" if Mueller made his finances a focus of the investigation.
More tidbits from the CNN report:
- Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort is reportedly at the center of the investigation's collusion aspect as investigators have found communications from Russian spies about their attempts to work with Manafort and other Trump associates regarding damaging information about Hillary Clinton.
- Former Trump campaign national security adviser Carter Page, who interacted with Russian spies in the past, had been under a FISA warrant since 2014, longer than had been previously reported.
- Attorneys working on the probe have purchased liability insurance, fearing that they might be targeted by lawsuits from those that they're investigating.

It’s best to introduce yourself to new roads with a firm grip. Find the best tires for your Lexus GS300 at Firestone Complete Auto Care, and schedule your installation appointment online in minutes.
City populations are exploding. New roads and buildings are springing up. There's construction around every corner! New progress is exciting, but the road debris it leaves behind may mean trouble for your tires. If the road has been rough on your 2019 Lexus GS300 tires, Firestone Complete Auto Care can help. There’s a chance your tire could be plugged and patched (rather than replaced). Our technicians can inspect your tire and let you know if it is safe to repair. We'll start by evaluating the state of wear, the location of damage, type of damage, and the size of the damage.
If your 2019 Lexus GS300 tire puncture can be repaired, we'll follow three basic steps to repair it: (1) Remove the tire from the wheel for inspection and repair, (2) fill in the area that’s been punctured to prevent damage from moisture, and (3) seal the inner liner with a repair unit to prevent air loss.
Unfortunately, some 2019 Lexus GS300 tire damage can’t be effectively repaired. For tires that have less than 2/32nd inch of tread left, a repair simply isn’t possible – even if the tire damage is minimal. This tread depth indicates that the tire is worn out, and needs to be replaced. Other tire damage that can't be safely repaired includes a tire with a puncture larger than ¼ inch in diameter; a puncture that lies outside the tire tread area; multiple punctures that are too close together (less than 16 inches between them); and a tire with tread separation or significant cuts.
Depending on what Lexus recommends for your car, you’ll want to consider purchasing one new tire, two new tires, or a new full set. For example, it’s usually recommended that you replace all four tires at the same time on AWD vehicles. Why? Because having four identical tires is vital for the AWD system to perform like it’s supposed to. Just replaced your tires and only one is damaged? You may not need to buy another new full set after all. It’s possible that you will only need to replace the tire that’s damaged – just make sure it’s the same size, type, and brand as the rest of your tires. Need help? A tire technician can walk you through the options and help you determine what’s best for your vehicle’s performance and longevity.
A flat tire is a surefire sign of tire damage, but other indicators of tire issues aren’t so easy to spot. Bent tire rims, bulging tire sidewalls, leaks under your car, or noise from your exhaust system can all point to tire-related damage that should be addressed quickly. Stay ahead of potentially dangerous tire issues. Bring your 2019 Lexus GS300 in for a tire inspection.
Your Lexus GS300 runs best when it’s well cared for. Keep your car running newer, longer with repairs from Firestone Complete Auto Care. Learn more about 2019 Lexus GS300 repairs below.

16 Suspects arrested for taxi-related shooting
The KwaZulu-Natal Acting Provincial Commissioner, Major General Bheki Langa have commended the swift response by police which led to the arrest of the suspects and the recovery of a number of firearms.
“In this province, we will not tolerate any violence especially relating to taxi industry as members of community are normally caught during the exchange of gunfire. We work diligently to ensure that the perpetrators are brought to book,” he said
Yesterday at 17:00, a group of heavily armed gunmen travelling in a Toyota Quantum minibus taxi stormed the taxi rank in Brook Street, Durban. They fired multiple gunshots and sped off. Three people were seriously injured and taken to hospital for medical attention and a 56-year-old later passed away. The suspects fled towards Pinetown and a police officer from the Pinetown Task Team spotted the suspects’ vehicle in Chelsea Avenue, New Germany and gave chase. The suspects opened fire at him and he retaliated. No injuries were sustained and the suspects abandoned their vehicle and ran into a building in Scott Road, Pinetown. The National Intervention Unit were called in. A total of 16 suspects were arrested and a total of 17 firearms were seized which include nine rifles, a shotgun and seven pistols.
The suspects will be charged for murder and attempted murder including the shooting of a police officer in Pinetown. They will also be charged for illegal possession of firearms. They will appear in court soon. The case will be assigned to the Provincial Task Team for further investigation. The firearms will be subjected to ballistic testing to ascertain if they were used in any other pending cases.

Despite extensive research on behavior of reinforced concrete in shear, there is still considerable disagreement among researchers in proposing and using a rational way of calculating the shear strength of reinforced concrete members. Due to lack of a universally accepted model for shear, shear design provisions still generally consist of empirical relationships that differ from code-to-code. In this study, a simple rational formula for calculating the shear strength of reinforced concrete elements is proposed by conducting a systematic parametric study on the response of RC elements in shear. This is done by using a computational model which simulates the post cracking behavior of RC membrane element on the basis of local stress transferring mechanism between adjacent cracks and microscopic stress transfer across cracks. Through a comparison with extensive available experimental tests conducted on RC elements, it is shown that the proposed rational relation can appropriately predict the shear strength of reinforced concrete elements under different in-plane stress conditions. Then the proposed relation is extended to the shear design of RC members and again it is shown that the predicted shear strengths are in good agreement with the experimental test results under different combination of axial, bending and shear forces.

HEALTH ACCESS UPDATE
Friday, January 16th, 2008
FEDERAL DECISIONS TO SET LEVEL OF HELP FOR HEALTH CARE IN CALIFORNIA
* First Draft of Economic Recovery Package Includes Significant Health Funding
* SCHIP Reauthorization Advances Through U.S. House & Senate Finance Committee
* Even With Fed Help, Tough Decisions on Cuts And/Or Revenues Still Needed at State Level
New on the Health Access WeBlog: Schwarzenegger’s State of the State; Another Health Policy Blog; More on Federal Help; SCHIP Passes the House; A National Budget Crisis; The New Senate Health Committee; Events Listing; Balance Billing Victory at the CA Supreme Court; The Governor Vetoes the Democratic Budget Package; New Language Access Regulations In Place; Dr. Sanjay Gupta as Surgeon General?; CIA or Budget Reform?; 1500 Posts!
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger ditched much of the traditional State of the State on Thursday in order to focus solely on the impending budget crisis. He declared that the “state was incapacitated” and in a “state of emergency,” because of the current gridlock on deciding on a budget on cuts and revenues.
Meanwhile, in Congress, financial assistance is being actively considered at the federal level, especially around health care issues. While such funding won’t be close to matching the full $42 billion deficit, decisions made in the next few days and weeks will make a difference of billions of dollars to California.
The U.S. House Committee on Appropriations chaired by Dave Obey (D-WI) just released its version of the “American Recovery and Reinvestment” package. Representing the House Democrats in consultation with President-elect Obama’s team, it includes, regard health care:
Increased Medicaid Matching Funds: It includes $87 billion nationally through the end of federal fiscal year 2010, “with additional relief tied to rates of unemployment.”
Health benefits for the unemployed: The proposal would spend $30 billion to pay 65% of the cost of COBRA for the newly unemployed, for the first 12 months of unemployment.
The proposal would also provide full funding for Medicaid coverage for unemployed workers up to 200%FPL (about $21,000 a year for an individual). And Medicaid eligibility is based on income at the time of application–what would matter is how much unemployment insurance someone is getting, not what they made last year.
Finally, for those over 55 who lose their job or who have worked for an employer for 10 years or more, they could keep their COBRA until they are Medicare eligible—although, after the first year those workers would be expected to pay the full cost of their coverage.
Cost containment: The House Democrats propose major investments in lowering costs and improving quality:
* Health information technology: $20 billion. Health IT is the infrastructure for better cost and quality data, for coordinating and managing care, for reducing medical errors and improving patient safety.
* Prevention: $3 billion to fight hospital infections, grants to public health departments, immunizations, etc.
* Health effectiveness research: $1 billion to compare the effectiveness of drugs, devices and other treatments, based on scientific evidence, not just drug company marketing.* Community health centers: $1.5 billion
* Training primary care providers: $600 million* Indian health services: $550 million
This proposal is the beginning of a (possibly short) debate about the size, scope, and content of an economic recovery package. California health advocates need to inform the state’s Congressional delegation about the need and urgency for this assistance.
LEVEL AND FORMULA MAKES SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE TO CALIFORNIA
The Obey proposal includes an increase in Medi-Cal matching funds, as did previous versions of “economic stimulus” proposals. Right now, California spends 50 cents on Medicaid and gets another 50 cents match from the federal government–a lower number than many other states, but still a major influx of federal dollars to our health system and economy. The proposal is to temporarily increase that match.
A new study by the Institute of Health Policy Studies (IHPS), explores the different ways to determine that match, and how the decision about that formular could mean hundreds of millions of dollars for California: http://www.ihps.org/pubs/IHPS_FMAP_Enhancement_Issues_011209.pdf
In a letter, here’s how IHPS broke down the potential difference:
Using the Congressional Budget Office’s estimate for last fall’s Senate bill of $29.2 billion inadditional federal Medicaid funding as the low end of the range of federal fiscal relief and the Governor’s request for $50 billion a year as the high end of the range, we estimate that:
* Using the equal FMAP percentage points per state approach, California’s share of the Medicaid relief package would approximate $3.3 to 5.6 billion in FY 2009.
* Using the equal proportionate reduction in state cost approach analogous to the S-CHIP adjustment, California’s share of the Medicaid relief package would approximate $3.8 to 6.5 billion in FY 2009.
* Using the targeted approach with more relief for states with weaker economies, California’s share of the Medicaid relief package would approximate $4.0 to 6.8 billion in FY 2009.
An approach that uses the baseline of our lowest-in-the-nation Medicaid matching rate would disadvantage California; a targeted approach based on our economic condition would help California, given our weak unemployment rate.
California health advocates need to make the case with our delegation for
* the highest overall level of assistance for health programs, as well as
* a fair formula that ensures our dire economic situation is recognized.
SCHIP REAUTHORIZATION MOVES QUICKLY
As a separate piece of legislation, the reauthorization for the State Child Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) passed the U.S. House of Representatives Wednesday, 289-139. While it was a strong bipartisan vote, the split in the California delegation was stark, with support all Democrats and only Republican Mary Bono Mack. All other California Republicans voted against it. (Democratic Representative Hilda Solis, Labor secretary-designate, did not vote.)
This is a major boon for the 900,000 children on California’s version of the program, Healthy Families, as well as many more children who are still eligible but not enrolled. By raising $32.3 billion with an increase in the federal tobacco tax, the bill extends SCHIP for 4.5 years, provides health coverage for 4.1 million additional children nationally.
The U.S. Senate Finance Committee passed a similar bill Thursday, on mostly a party-line vote, with Republican Senator Olympia Snowe from Maine voting with the Democrats in support. The hope is that a final package is available for President Obama’s signature by his first week after his inauguration. Unlike President Bush, who twice vetoed similar child coverage proprosals despite overwhelming bipartisan support, President Obama is likely to make this his first legislative victory.
CALIFORNIA NEEDS KEY PROVISION: California has a strong interest in a key policy provision: Both versions would eliminate an arbitrary provision prohibiting federal matching funds for the first five years legal immigrant children are in the U.S. California, which covers these children, loses millions of dollars each year because of this current exclusion, and would benefit from the change. This important provision needs to stay in the bill: children cannot wait five years for coverage, and California needs the assistance.
THE STATE BUDGET CRISIS CONTINUES
If both the economic recovery package and SCHIP legislation passes shortly, with the formulas and provisions favorable to California, the state would still have a significant deficit to be remedied through cuts and/or taxes. On the other hand, the size of the problem is so great that it is hard to see how any solution is possible without significant federal assistance.
The Governor’s current budget proposal offers $14.3 billion in tax increases and other new revenue, and $17.4 billion in spending cuts over the next 18 months, which includes both the first half of 2009, and the 2009-2010 budget year.
The budget includes many cuts that were previously rejected by the Legislature as too severe. It proposes to deny coverage to over a half-million Californians, and to deny specific benefits like dental, optometry, podiatry and psychology to millions more. The proposals would significantly impact not just state’s health system, but also have an economic impact as well: California would lose hundreds of millions of dollars in federal matching funds, more than doubling the negative impact of these cuts not just in the health system, but the economy as a whole.
Advocates are actively working for both the state revenues and the federal assistance that can prevent these cuts and sustain these programs. Regarding just the health care cuts, the Governor’s budget proposal would:
* Deny over a half-million low-income working parents Medi-Cal coverage, by lowering the eligibility from 100% to 72% of poverty level, cutting off eligbility for parents in families of three making more than $13,000. The cut would be $5.2 million in 2008-09; $176.4 million in 2009-10, and $342 million in 2011-12, ultimately impacting over 429,000 California parents. Over 100,000 additional Californians, largely legal immigrants, would lose most of their coverage under other proposed cuts.
* Eliminate dental, optometry, podiatry, psychology, and several other benefits for 2.5 million parents, seniors, and people with disabilities on Medi-Cal coverage. This cut would be $39.4 million in 2008-09 and $258.8 million in 2009-10.
* Impose significant additional costs on low-income aged, blind and disabled Californians–over 73,000 who make just over $890/month as individuals would have to pay potentially hundreds of dollars a month or forgo care and coverage. This cut would be $28.6 million in 2008-09, and $371.6 million in 2009-2010.
* Siphon funds away from counties, providers, and public hospitals on which we all rely. For public hospitals, the proposal would reduce rates by $54.2 million, at exactly the time the demand for their services is increasing. For counties, the proposal would also suspend cost-of-living increases, a cut of $24.7 million, that counties need to administer the Medi-Cal program. For providers, the proposal would also cut $85.5 million by delaying payment to Medi-Cal fee-for-service providers–effectively forcing these health providers to lose a month of reimbursements.
* Eliminate the First Five Commission, and thus significant funding for a variety of health coverage and other services for young children, such as “Healthy Kids” programs in various counties. This cut would be $275 million, but would require voter approval. A version of this proposal had been offered by Republican legislators, but this is the first time it has been adopted as part of the Governor’s proposal.
There are also significant cuts to mental health, developmental services, in-home supportive services, CalWORKS, SSI/SSP, food assistance, and other human services. There are over a billion dollars in cuts to health and human services in the budget year, and that number significantly increases as the cuts are fully implemented in future years.
All experts warn that if at least some budget solutions (cuts and/or revenues) are not passed in the next few weeks, California will run out of money as early as February.
The budget will be the top priority of the new year 2009. More analysis about the budget will be available on the Health Access daily blog, at:

The COVID-19 pandemic has made US businesses more adventurous in trying out new banks, according to a study from financial consultancy group Greenwich.
Approximately a third of small businesses and almost 30% of midsize companies signalled that they were likely to switch banks as a result of their experiences through the pandemic.
Those percentages are two to three times higher than normal switching levels, Greenwich said, meaning billions of dollars in commercial bank balances and fees would be “in play” this year.
In a turbulent year, banks have taken a wide range of actions to assist customers through the economic and financial impact of the pandemic.
These have included waiving fees and charges, deferring payments on loans and credit facilities, suspending foreclosures, as well as facilitating government-backed support such as Economic Impact Payments and the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).
While many respondents were satisfied with their banks’ performance last year, a significant number were disappointed in the level of support they received during the crisis.
Problems with the PPP loan application process and delays to responses – particularly in the early days of the crisis – were among the most common complaints.
Greenwich’s report said the levels of dissatisfaction should act as a call to action for commercial banks. It also represented an opportunity for providers able to blend digital tools with traditional banking practices to form “new, post-COVID prospecting strategies”.
The report also found that that small and medium-sized companies were keen to continue visiting local bank branches, although digital would allow them to use those locations less frequently.
They were more likely to visit for more complex discussions such as those concerning loan structure, cash flow optimization and business strategy. Nearly two-thirds (63%) said they would prefer to resume in-person meetings with conditions, such as facemasks or outdoor meetings.

The State Labor Government has ripped off Western Victoria, using money set aside for rural infrastructure projects on regular maintenance programs, Member for South West Coast Roma Britnell says.
Mrs Britnell said the Liberal and National Coalition secured 10 per cent of the proceeds of the lease of the Port Of Melbourne to be used exclusively on regional infrastructure projects.
“But what we have seen, buried in the budget papers, is Labor using $300 million of that money on ordinary maintenance of existing infrastructure,” she said.
“The lease of the port was a once in lifetime opportunity to invest in infrastructure projects to help rural industries grow and prosper.
“The dairy industry is the biggest exporter from the Port of Melbourne, our farmers built the port and drove up its value – but not one dollar from the proceeds of the lease will go to supporting that industry to grow.”
Mrs Britnell said it was rotten the majority of the money from the lease deal would be spent in Metropolitan Melbourne, with regional Victoria being left with the crumbs off the table.
“Under Daniel Andrews, regional Victorian’s are getting charged more through 11 new taxes, but are receiving much less.”

Fairtrade responds to UK government White Paper on international development
Fairtrade has urged the UK government to engage with millions of smallholder farmers, including those in the cocoa sector, in response to the administration’s International Development White Paper, reports Neill Barston.
The global movement, which focuses on achieving social justice for agricultural communities around the world, stressed that partnership with those working directly within supply chains remains vital to strategies tackling poverty.
Notably, concerns were raised in 2020, when the UK government confirmed it was in fact cutting its international aid budget from 0.7 to 0.5 of GDP, meaning less funding available for many nations in need. This led to organisations including Save the Children and Oxfam to restore previous funding levels.
However, in its latest White Paper, the government asserted that progress was being made. It stated that fore the first time, over half of all bilateral aid will go to least developed countries and for the first time.
Linked to this, the UK is also to set a target for an overseas investment am, British International Investment, targeting more than half of its efforts towards poorer nations by 2030.
The paper also highlighted the need to work with partners to reform taxation systems, trade, debt, and corruption within systems, as well as addressing global health issues including health, climate and energy transition.
While some indication of budget rises for overseas aid have been recently reported, observers have noted that the UK government’s spending in this area has still to return to pre 2020 levels.
Commenting on the paper, Fairtrade said: “In its White Paper, outlining the vision for international development until 2030, the UK Government puts a focus on global cooperation as the foundation for tackling poverty, climate change and other global challenges.
‘Who we cooperate with and how matters hugely – and while we welcome the White Paper’s emphasis on supporting farmers to build sustainable, resilient agriculture and food systems, we believe cooperation with smallholder farmers has a crucial role to play across a much wider set of development objectives. This is especially true in relation to trade, which the White Paper rightly acknowledges as having the potential to alleviate poverty and tackle the climate crisis.
‘If the UK Government is to make progress in unlocking this potential, it must be in partnership with the world’s 500 million smallholder farmers. It is their perspectives that will help to enable a sustainable approach to trade – and that must be central to the UK Government’s efforts as it implements its development vision.’
Speaking on its proposed programmes, International Development Minister Andrew Mitchell stated that the nation had a strong track-record of supporting global communities.
He said: “We have a unique opportunity – using science, technology and innovation – to have a lasting, long-term impact on tackling hunger, poverty and climate change. The UK has a proud history of helping people in desperate need – it’s in our DNA.
“Tackling global challenges for the benefit of us all is the right thing to do, but it is also the smart thing to do.
This white paper will show how the UK will help to deliver the quantum leap that is urgently needed, including through mobilising international finance, to deliver the UN’s Sustainable Global Goals by 2030. We cannot close this gap through aid alone.”

Documentary by two student filmmakers tells the tale of Poly's peaceful integration -- two years before Brown v. Board of Education (Baltimore)
Although many Baltimoreans already know this groundbreaking local history, it also has significance nationally. When Poly admitted black students in September 1952, it was among the first - possibly the first - public high school south of the Mason-Dixon line to integrate its student body.
"We know we were the first in the state," Tolson says. "When I contacted the Library of Congress, they had no knowledge of any schools integrating before we did in 1952. But they also gave me a hint to check Brownsville, Texas." (He did, but it's unclear exactly what date integration might have taken place there.)

Burial, revealed after an early Banksy-esque period of anonymity to be South London’s William Bevan, first emerged in 2005 on British underground electronic music label Hyperdub, releasing EP South London Boroughs. Within two years, Burial was nominated for the Mercury Prize for his seminal album Untrue, described by Pitchfork as ‘the Most Important Electronic Album of the Century So Far'.
Burial described his influences in a rare interview back in 2012 with writer and cultural theorist Mark Fisher:
“I’ve never been to a festival. Never been to a rave in a field. Never been to a big warehouse, never been to an illegal party, just clubs and playing tunes indoors or whatever. I heard about it, dreamed about it. My brother might bring back these records that seemed really adult to me and I couldn’t believe I had ‘em. It was like when you first saw Terminator or Alien when you're only little. I’d get a rush from it, I was hearing this other world, and my brother would drop by late and I’d fall asleep listening to tunes he put on.”
Untrue is a cold and introspective record, and deeply personal. It sets up many sonic themes that are key to Burial's music. Hyperkinetic, pitch-shifted and time-stretched vocal samples haunt the tracks. The jittery, irregular feel of the drums are directly influenced by 2-step, UK Garage and Jungle, and sounds from the real world reverberate with unease.
On songs like Archangel, he chops, pitches and samples the soundtrack to video game Metal Gear Solid 2 and Kim Kardashian-ex Ray J’s R&B track 'One Wish' over a sparse 2-step garage beat, warping these disparate samples into a frenetic banger of a track.
Burial’s genius lies in his reference points, the samples, the atmosphere and the sense of space created in his music. You can hear smatterings of leftover joy and euphoria from early 90s rave mixed with melancholia. It’s like you’re passing by a memory of a party, on the way home and it’s raining.
13 years on from Untrue, recent tracks on 2021’s EP Chemz continue to deliver genius. Seven minutes of UK garage with repetitive, pitched-up vocal samples from Ne-Yo and Allure crackle before transitioning into Burial channelling his own version of early ‘90s UK hardcore. Pitched vocals, synth arpeggios and rave chord stabs soar over heavy breakbeats which deliver as much euphoria as it they do urgency.
To get started with Burial, listen to the album Untrue, then EP’s such as Kindred (tracks 'Loner', 'Ashtray Wasp') and more recent EPs such as the excellent Chemz / Dolphinz for late-period Burial tracks.

Since 1990 the Derby Midshipmen Band have entered over 100 contests. 'The Middies' have never been out of the top three places having obtained 83% of these in first place. The Middies currently have 21 consecutive 1st place wins spanning back from 2004 to 2012. This record has earned them the reputation of being one of the most successful and professional marching bands in the UK...
Back in 1935 (84 years ago) a small group of friends decided to try and start up a local marching band. Who, back then, would have thought that more than 80 years later this independent and self-funded band would have been one of the most successful and professional marching and display bands of its time? The band have travelled the length and breadth of the UK performing at some of the most prestigious venues you could imagine as well as supporting local carnivals.

The man who allegedly found the hit man to kill his boss' wife has told a court he didn't get away with murder.
Anthony Stambolis gave evidence on Thursday in the NSW Supreme Court trial of his former boss, Mark Caleo, who has pleaded not guilty to soliciting the murder of his wife Rita Caleo.
She was stabbed 23 times in her Double Bay townhouse in the city's eastern suburbs in August 1990.
That hit was allegedly carried out by Alani Afu, 50, who has pleaded not guilty to murdering Ms Caleo.
Caleo has also pleaded not guilty to soliciting the murder of his wife's brother Michael Chye, who was shot in the head at close range as he drove into the garage of his Woollahra home in October 1989.
The Crown has alleged Caleo felt he was being ripped off by the siblings.
Mr Stambolis told prosecutor Margaret Cunneen SC that Caleo told him to offer $10,000 to find someone to kill his wife and make it look like a "robbery gone wrong".
He said Caleo initially told him to find someone to rob his Double Bay home for $2000 for insurance purposes but then increased it to $10,000 to have his wife killed.
Mr Stambolis said he found a man, whom he referred to as "the Tongan", who was willing to accept the job.
Caleo changed his mind about the murder when he was feeling the heat after Dr Chye's death, but said an insurance job "wouldn't raise a brow", Mr Stambolis told the court.
However, Mr Stambolis said he still told "the Tongan" that the $10,000 was to kill Ms Caleo, but thought she would be out the night they arranged to rob the house and drove "the Tongan" to the Double Bay home.
Holding back tears at times while giving evidence, Mr Stambolis said "the Tongan" got back in his car and said "I stabbed the s***" before telling him to "f***ing drive".
Caleo's barrister, Grant Brady SC, told Mr Stambolis he "would be sitting in that dock there, charged with murder," had he not given information to the police about Caleo to help his own troubles with the law.
"And rightly so," Mr Stambolis said.
"I've given them Mark Caleo, finally, after all these years."
The trial is continuing.

It is a brave production that forges ahead with its work while the COVID-19 pandemic continues to hang over the world, particularly if said production is in the hard-hit US. What keeps these brave productions from epic failure is if they subscribe to following the long-advised health and safety protocols to help prevent the spread of the ubiquitous novel coronavirus. Then there are those live productions that would err on the side of caution by forgoing the live component of their event and just take the virtual route. The 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards for 2020 is one such careful production.
Entertainment Tonight reports that this year’s Primetime Emmys will not risk COVID-19 descending on a live gathering for September, and is thus going to be virtually conducted. News came out just a day after the 2020 Emmy nominees were announced, when media outlets received a form letter from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences addressed to the nominees. The general gist is that they will not be gathering at the usual Emmy Awards venue of the Microsoft Theatre in LA. Such an eventuality was foreshadowed by the simple fact that the July 28 nomination announcement was also virtually performed.
The letter further explains that the Primetime Emmy production organizers are now putting together technicians, producers and writers to begin developing the virtual setup for the ceremony. Nominees can opt to be filmed for their segments either at their home or some other location of their choice. “We’re going to make you look fabulous,” the virtual Emmys announcement letter says. “We’re exploring the cutting edge of technology to allow to use good cameras and lighting and look forward to working with you to produce your unique ‘on screen’ moments.” The scattered virtual networking between the various nominees and the main location will all be tied together by host Jimmy Kimmel.
Reactions from the nominees regarding the new format for the Primetime Emmy Awards have been positive thus far, as it ensures that their work on television will find a way to be recognized even if the health issues make it difficult to be conducted in the traditional fashion. “Whatever it is or shape it takes, I’m just happy to be there,” remarks Dylan McDermott (Netflix’s “Hollywood”), nominated for Outstanding Actor in a Limited Series or Movie. “It doesn’t matter to me as long as there was recognition of the work.”
The date for the Primetime Emmys ceremony remains unchanged on September 20 despite going virtually now. It will of course still be broadcast on ABC.

TORONTO, ON – It’s been almost a century since hops production has taken place on a wide scale in Ontario, but now a group of growers from across the province have joined forces to create the Ontario Hop Growers’ Association (OHGA), a new organization that aims to revive this once booming industry.
According to details provided to CBN by OHGA Executive Committee member Melanie Doerksen, this initiative has been launched to serve as a non-profit association of 28 organic and conventional growers in Ontario, as well as brewers, herbalists and enthusiasts interested in supporting the re-emergence of the Ontario hop industry.
Specific plans for the group include acting as a central voice and advocacy group for the industry; promoting hop-growing fundamentals through education, research, promotion, and marketing; and setting up a database of relevant growing and management information specifically for Ontario.
The release further notes that due to increased interest in Ontario craft beers made with locally sourced ingredients, land dedicated to the production of hops in the province is expected to grow by 50% this year, increasing from 8 hectares (20 acres) to 12 hectares (30 acres).
Those interested in finding out more about the Ontario Hop Growers’ Association and its initiatives can contact the group at email@example.com.

Objections over country lane access for £15m Beverley housing development
LEAFY LANE: Cllr Kerri Harold in Shepherd Lane, where access is sought for housing.
By Hull Daily Mail | Posted: 28 Mar 2017
Residents are opposing controversial access plans via a country lane for a £15m Beverley housing estate.
Risby Homes has applied for planning consent to build up to 71 homes on land off leafy Shepherd Lane.
But nearby residents are against access being taken via a stretch of the lane, which is popular with horse riders, cyclists and walkers.
The country lane, also known as Shepherds Lane, would need to be widened, sparking fears about traffic, noise and pollution.
Woodmansey Parish Council, which covers the area, is backing the concerned residents.
Parish chairman Councillor Kerri Harold said: “We are strongly objecting to access via Shepherd Lane.
“Shepherd Lane was an old farm track which was tarmacked to create a proper road.
“Residents are concerned about additional traffic. It is already an issue for traffic getting onto Lincoln Way and this would bring extra traffic through there.
“There are thick hedgerows and big trees down there, which act as a green buffer, but which would be torn down."
SHEPHERD LANE: The lane is popular with horse riders, cyclists and walkers.
Sarah Thomsen is among residents who have lodged objections with East Riding Council, which will rule on the scheme.
Mrs Thomsen said: “It was understood that there would be proper consultation with residents and councillors on the location of the spine road and that ultimately this road was to join Minster Way.
“This is has not happened and instead a planning application has been sent in by a developer suggesting Shepherds Lane be widened and used for access to a new housing estate.
“Not all residents of Thyme Way received notification of the planning proposals and there was no consultation.
“Many residents will be concerned by the proposals to widen and use Shepherds Lane as a main link road eventually servicing almost 2,000 houses, in particular as this will be directly behind houses that are already in place.
“There are better alternatives including access onto Minster Way or another slip road onto the Minster Way roundabout."
HOUSING PLANS: Permission is being sought for up to 71 homes off Shepherd Lane, Beverley.
East Riding ward Councillor David Elvidge said: “I support fully the residents in this area who are not against house building, but strongly object to the use of Shepherd Lane for access when there are other access routes available which would lessen the impact on the whole community.
“I would urge a rethink on these plans which would enable all residents to work with the developers to find a better solution."
Mark Barrett, managing director of developers Risby Homes, said the land south of Shepherd Lane is allocated for development in East Riding Council's recently adopted Local Plan.
He said it is a Local Plan requirement for a spine road to be provided through the site linking Woodmansey Mile and Lincoln Way.
He said: “We have included the first part of this link from Lincoln Way within our planning application.
“Depending upon when planning approval were obtained, the development would probably start in 2018, would cost in excess of £15m and the range of house prices would probably be up to around £350,000."
Resident Mrs Thomsen is urging people to object or comment as soon as possible to East Riding Council, planning reference 17/00542/STOUT.

Excellence. Power. Intelligence. Creativity. Ambition.
The world of symphonic metal is all about big ideas and high standards, but few bands have taken this most bombastic of genres to such momentous creative heights as EPICA. Formed in the Netherlands in 2002, these perennially dynamic masters of sonic opulence swiftly grabbed the world’s attention with their 2003 debut album »The Phantom Agony«. With a fresh and vital sound that struck a sublime balance between orchestral grandeur and pure heavy metal grit, EPICA’s music showcased the compelling contrast between singer Simone Simons’ soaring vocals and guitarist Mark Jansen’s guttural growls; between Isaac Delahaye’s unstoppable core of scything riffs and keyboard maestro Coen Janssen’s intricate, hugely cinematic arrangements and embellishments. All of this backed by a powerful tandem: Ariën van Weesenbeek blasting his drums and Rob van der Loo providing tasteful low end.
The lyrics, too, made EPICA stand out from the crowd, as they eschewed the traditional symphonic trope of fantasy and began to explore and dissect notions of philosophy, science and spirituality. By the time they released 2005’s grand evolutionary step »Consign To Oblivion«, the Dutch sextet were widely regarded as the genre’s brightest hopes and international success was in their grasp.
The decade that followed has seen EPICA grow from plucky contenders to their current status as symphonic metal heavyweights with a huge and still expanding worldwide following. With each successive album, the band have made huge creative progress while consistently delivering stage shows and performances of overwhelming power and grandiloquence. From 2007’s dark religious exploration »The Divine Conspiracy« over 2009’s intense musical journey »Design Your Universe« to 2012’s impassioned and political »Requiem For The Indifferent« and on to the brave curiosity and breathtaking depth of last album, 2014’s »The Quantum Enigma«, their upward ascent has been both commercial and artistic: a testament to many years of hard work, fierce determination and the relentless pursuit of musical dreams. And now it’s 2016 and EPICA are poised to unveil their greatest masterwork to date. Their seventh full-length studio effort »The Holographic Principle« signifies a significant upping of the musical ante for this most adventurous of modern bands. The album is the most epochal, multi-layered, courageous and successful record of the band, reaching top 10 chart position entries in the German, Dutch and Swiss album charts.
Accordingly, all the tracks written for the album process are high-quality, but not all songs have been put on the album. This is only based on the fact that the record should not exceed 76 minutes. Since the band didn’t like the idea of a double CD, they finally decided to release an EP with six brand-new numbers, which were created during the creative phase of the album. The band announced their upcoming long-awaited EP »The Solace System«!


- Hurricane Michael weakened to a tropical storm early Thursday morning as it moved across central Georgia with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph.
- Hours earlier, it made landfall in Florida as the strongest hurricane to hit the US in nearly 50 years and the third-strongest ever.
- The storm is expected to move into South Carolina on Thursday morning. North Carolina and Virginia are also in its path.
- Officials have reported at least two storm-related fatalities. A man in Greensboro, Florida, was killed when a tree fell on his house, a representative for the Gadsden County sheriff said. An 11-year-old child was killed in Seminole County while the storm moved through Georgia on Wednesday night, a local emergency services official said.
- Hundreds of thousands of people were without power as of 6 p.m. ET on Wednesday, according to the US Energy Information Administration.
Hurricane Michael weakened to a tropical storm early Thursday morning while churning across central Georgia with maximum sustained winds of about 50 mph. Less than a day earlier, it made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane near Mexico Beach, Florida.
Storm flooding leveled off along the Gulf Coast as of 2 a.m. ET, the National Hurricane Center said. Tropical-storm conditions were being felt in parts of central and southeastern Georgia.
Michael's center is expected to move through eastern Georgia and on to central South Carolina, according to the latest advisory.
The storm is then due to move across parts of North Carolina and Virginia late Thursday night or early Friday morning.
As of 5 a.m. ET on Thursday, the storm was 30 miles west of Augusta, Georgia.
Officials have reported two storm-related fatalities. A man in Greensboro, Florida, was killed when a tree fell on top of his home, a representative for the Gadsden County sheriff said. An 11-year-old child was killed in Georgia's Seminole County while the storm moved through the state Wednesday night, WTOC reported, citing the Emergency Management Agency's director, Travis Brooks.
Hundreds of thousands of electricity customers were without power as of 6 p.m. ET on Wednesday night. The US Energy Information Administration said about 388,000 customers in Florida, 46,000 customers in Georgia, and 45,000 customers in Alabama were in the dark as the storm moved inland.
Gov. Kay Ivey of Alabama issued a state-wide state of emergency on Monday "in anticipation of wide-spread power outages, wind damage, and debris produced by high winds and heavy rain associated with Hurricane Michael."
Gov. Nathan Deal of Georgia issued an emergency declaration for 92 counties in the southern part of that state. "The emergency declaration is effective for seven days and makes all state resources available to local governments and entities within the impacted area of the hurricane," his office said.
In the Carolinas, communities are still working to recover from Hurricane Florence.
A National Weather Service map shows when winds are likely to arrive in various states:
Forecasters said storm-force winds were possible in areas of southeastern Virginia, northeastern North Carolina, and the Delmarva Peninsula when Michael moves off the mid-Atlantic coast late Thursday or early Friday.
The storm had picked up steam as it sped across the Gulf of Mexico toward the Florida Panhandle. When its eye hit Florida's Gulf Coast on Wednesday afternoon, the storm had sustained winds of 155 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center, putting it just shy of a Category 5 hurricane.
Michael's minimum central pressure — a key measure of hurricane strength — was measured at 919 millibars when it made landfall. That makes Michael the third-strongest hurricane to hit the US and the strongest in nearly 50 years.
Central pressure is the measure of how much the atmosphere in the middle of a storm weighs. Lower central pressure indicates a stronger storm. Michael's measurement indicates it's more intense than Hurricane Andrew, which hit Florida in 1992 with a pressure of 922 millibars, and Hurricane Katrina, which devastated New Orleans in 2005 when it hit with a pressure of 920 millibars.
Normal air pressure is about 1,010 millibars; when central pressure is significantly lower than that, things become more turbulent, with more air movement and wind kicking up.
Though wind speed is the basis for hurricane categories, central pressure is actually a better measure of damage that a hurricane will cause, a study published last year in the journal Nature Communications found.
Michael was a monster storm by wind speed around the time it made landfall. It had sustained winds of 155 mph, meaning it wasn't far from a Category 5 storm — a Category 4 hurricane has sustained winds of up to 156 mph, and Category 5 is 157 mph and above.
Just one storm has been recorded with higher sustained wind speeds this far north in the Gulf of Mexico: Hurricane Camille in 1969.


Was it a deliberate mistake? Fans on Twitter wanted to know where Kendall and Gigi's knees are!
Twitter is abuzz with the news of models Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid's missing knees on the latest cover of W Magazine.
The tenth anniversary art edition of the magazine has supermodels Gigi and Kendall wearing identical dresses on the cover.
Now, if you take a closer look at them, you will notice that their legs have been retouched to look slimmer!
In the bargain, the knees have been airbrushed off, making both the models look knee-less.
That's not all! Another Photoshop fail which Kendall's followers on Twitter also noticed was that the model's teeth on the cover didn't have gaps.
Truth be told, the Photoshop fail is a deliberate attempt to grab eyeballs. According to the magazine it was done for art's sake!
The shoot was photographed by Jason Kibbler and edited by artists Lizzie Fitch and Ryan Trecartin to explore how cameras, social media, and reality TV have changed the way we engage with the world and with one another.
In the past, Priyanka Chopra too was a victim of Photoshop. Her armpits went missing on the cover of Maxim due to a bizarre Photoshop fail.
Earlier, tennis star Serena Williams released her cover shoot for People magazine, which fans discovered was photoshopped.
Dear Readers, tell us what you think of W Magazine's Photoshop fail? Did it work or did the idea bomb?

As several schools have departed the Pac-12, Washington State is still without a clear path forward.
Could A WSU-Big Ten Move Happen?
The Big Ten does not seem to be a likely landing spot for Washington State.
Though there have been some reports about WSU going to a Power Five league, the Big Ten has not been one of them. The Big Ten seems content at the moment or would look elsewhere for expansion.
USC, UCLA, Oregon, and Washington are the Pac-12 schools which are heading to the Big Ten. Washington State would likely want to join UW in whatever league it goes to, but the Big Ten doesn’t seem like it will extend an invite any time soon.
Place College Football Wagers at BetMGM!
Would WSU To The Big 12 Work?
Some have speculated Washington State could go with other Pac-12 schools to the Big 12, but that doesn’t seem probable at the moment.
Multiple national outlets within the last week have reported the Big 12 doesn’t seem likely to be adding any of the Pac-4 schools, which would include Stanford, Cal, Oregon State, and WSU.
Four Pac-12 schools – Colorado, Arizona, Arizona State, and Utah – are leaving for the Big 12 next year.
WSU-Mountain West Conversations
Of any conference that seems like the future home for Washington State, the Mountain West seems to make the most sense.
Mountain West commissioner Gloria Nevarez proposed to Washington State reasons why the Cougars should join the league, per CBS.
With schools like Boise State as well as others on the western side of the country, the Mountain West could be a viable option for WSU to limit travel. Although in light of other conference realignment moves, limiting distance for road trips doesn’t seem to be a priority for many programs.
Is Wazzu Staying In The Pac-12?
OSU and WSU took action which indicates the universities intend on seeing if they can keep the Pac-12 alive, via ESPN. They sought a restraining order, which a judge granted, via a legal complaint they filed against the Pac-12 and its commissioner, George Kliavkoff.
The presidents of Washington State and Oregon State should reportedly make up the conference’s board of directors, according to Pac-12 bylaws, since those two schools are the only ones in the league who have yet to indicate they are leaving. That could mean those leaders alone eventually gain the power to decide what to do with the Pac-12 and its resources like TV revenue.
Pac-12 News And Rumors
A promotion/relegation model similar to that of European soccer could be possible for the Pac-12 and Mountain West, Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports reported this week.
With this idea, two teams every one or two years would move up to the Pac-12 and another two would move down to the Mountain West based on success. This operation could also expand by adding FCS teams like North Dakota State and South Dakota State.
Some Mountain West decision makers are reportedly open to unique ideas like this, but not everyone might be in favor of this model and plenty more would have to be solidified. Washington State and Oregon State still have matters to sort out with the remaining Pac-12 assets, so a decision regarding this matter might not be made in the immediate future.
Washington State-AAC Talks
As the AAC tries to shed the Group of Five moniker, adding WSU seemed like it would help in that effort. But the AAC reportedly has stopped considering bringing in Oregon State and WSU and might look elsewhere in its expansion plans. Now the AAC is exploring the possibility of adding Army, according to multiple reports.
The AAC has been regarded by many as the strongest G5 league. Though it lost UCF, Houston, and Cincinnati this year, it picked up North Texas, UTSA, UAB, Charlotte, Rice, and FAU.
Washington State, Pac-12 History
Washington State has been a member of the Pac-12 since 1962, though it has been called a variety of names over the years.
When WSU joined, it was known as the Athletic Association of Western Universities. Then the league became the Pacific-8 Conference in 1968 before being renamed the Pacific-10 Conference in 1978 when Arizona and Arizona State were added. It officially became the Pac-12 in 2011 after Colorado and Utah joined the conference.
Pac-12 Media Deal
The Pac-12’s media deal with FOX and ESPN is reportedly worth $250 million per year and will expire in 2024-25. The conference was seeking a new deal before several teams decided to leave.
Washington State could be missing out on some money comparatively if it goes to the Mountain West.
Mountain West Conference Media Deal
The Mountain West agreed to a $270 million media rights deal in 2020 with CBS and FOX, according to The Athletic. That would mean teams are scheduled to be paid $4 million per year.
The arrangement would end after the 2025-26 season.
AAC Media Deal
The AAC and ESPN agreed to a 12-year contract beginning in 2019 worth about $1 billion, via USA Today. The deal was to pay each program just less than $7 million per year when it was made but increased over time. SMU, for example, reportedly received about $8.2 million in 2022.

Chapter 871: Zi He!
In the back mountain of Huaxia University.
Xue Xi arrived in front of them step by step. Fang Yi waved her hand and the elders surrounded them.
Jing Fei said, “Fang Yi, what are you doing? We agreed that we’re only here to interrogate Sister Xi. Before Sister Xi admits it, you’re not allowed to arrest her!”
Fang Yi sneered. “What if she runs away?”
Jing Fei’s face was cold as he looked at the people behind Xue Xi and did not speak further. Anyway, with those people around, Sister Xi could not be detained.
He took a step forward and said, “Sister Xi, Zheng Zhi is dead.”
Xue Xi: “…I know.”
Jing Fei’s eyes were red. “Fang Yi said that you killed him. What happened?”
When Xue Xi left back then, Little Square was clearly fine, but he died after that. She immediately said, “It wasn’t me. When I left, he was fine.”
Fang Yi sneered. “Then do you have a witness?”
Ji Silin took a step forward and said, “I’m the witness. When I came to save her, Xue Xi had already regained her rationality. That person called Zheng Zhi hugged Fang Yi’s leg and asked us to leave quickly.”
When Jing Fei heard this, he looked at Fang Yi.
Fang Yi sneered. “You? Who are you?”
Ji Silin slowly said, “Ji Silin, psychiatrist.”
Fang Yi did not panic at all. “A psychiatrist? Zi He, your ident.i.ty is really not bad!”
The moment the name “Zi He” was uttered, everyone was shocked!
Even the people from the special department looked at Ji Silin in disbelief.
He was one of the three elders of the mysterious organization, Zi He?
Fang Yi said, “Xue Xi, you colluded with Zi He. Are you worthy of those comrades who died in battle in the special department? Do you know how many of us have been sacrificed in order to capture the mysterious organization members all these years?! Zheng Zhi’s parents, my parents, and so many young lives…
“Some time ago, they caused a nuclear explosion in the suburbs. It was also them who’d forced General Xiang to take action. He’s still locked in the bas.e.m.e.nt and doesn’t dare to come out!”
Following this, the expressions of everyone in the special department changed.
Previously, they had protected Xue Xi because she was their comrade.
However, the Superhuman Organization and the special department were natural enemies!
Putting aside how many people had died in the special department over the years, even General Xiang had been harmed by them and could not come out now.
If General Xiang was still around, would the international espers dare to openly enter China?!
Jing Fei also looked straight at Ji Silin. “Are you really Zi He?”
Ji Silin knew that he could not hide it. He lowered his eyes. “Yes, but everything about the Superhuman Organization has nothing to do with Xue Xi.”
“So it’s unrelated to her just because you say so?” Fang Yi was aggressive. “I think Xue Xi might be your spy. Otherwise, why has it been so difficult to capture you guys all these years? Moreover, you guys have really put in a lot of effort to use her to restrain General Xiang! This is a honey trap!”
Fang Yi pointed at them and said to the people from the special department, “Hurry up and catch them!”
Zi He was here…
Anyone from the special department had to take action.
Jing Fei waved his hand and everyone surrounded Xue Xi and the rest again.
Xue Xi frowned. She knew that Fang Yi had come prepared, but she did not expect her to even know Ji Silin’s ident.i.ty.
Before Xue Xi could speak, she heard Ji Silin sigh. “Do you think you can catch me?”


Updated with comment from Pentagon on 4/10/18
Now that the U.S. Department of Defense has released its bid for the contract to build the next generation of anti-aircraft missiles, Amazon is taking a gamble on the results.
In the Pentagon’s request for proposals to build the Long Range Air Defense (LRAD) system, the service listed two of the most popular companies currently building its primary air defense system, the Patriot. The companies are Raytheon and Lockheed Martin.
The reason Raytheon and Lockheed are so popular? They are actually quite profitable. Both companies are earnings multiples in the seven to eight range, but Raytheon’s trailing 12-month profit margin is $3.5 billion. Its profit margin is just shy of 9 percent.
The top companies, Boeing and Lockheed Martin, are cash rich and have huge advantages in the arena of aerospace defense, defense by industry standards. This means their share price is more attractive to private investors and there is more less competition in these stocks compared to companies like Raytheon and Lockheed Martin.
But this raises another question: Why did the Pentagon suggest Amazon, a cloud company and internet retail giant, as a potential vendor for LRAD?
“Through their retail experience, Amazon has an ability to process and provide the users with information from what the buyer has just bought,” Jim Conn, who was Special Assistant to the President and Director of Intergovernmental Affairs at the U.S. Department of Defense from 1993 to 1996, told Tax Notes. “It will be amazing to see how they’ll manage this device.”
While Amazon didn’t win the contract, the company will now have the opportunity to submit a better proposal, according to Tax Notes. Amazon isn’t the only company that will likely be interested in this contract.

The PSOE has described the agreement approved unpresentable in the Governing Board chaired by Antonio Tamayo, whereby police Councilman Mariano Albarracín gives the council a German shepherd owned for money from the public, the council takes living expenses and training of the animal, reserving Councilman availability police dog to perform matings can schedule it.
For socialists, "the government team led by Antonio Tamayo, has definitely lost its way and shows that no authority to govern the municipality."
In the current economic and social situation "is unforgivable that a government engages in this sort of thing, that once the initial disbelief, outrage unleashed necessarily any citizen aware that there are many families who are having a hard time."
They claim in the PSOE can not understand that the government of Antonio Tamayo says there is no money to provide the service of home help for the elderly, but if you have money for maintenance and dog training Councilman Police bound for an alleged canine unit that does not exist, it is doubtful that this council needs and can not afford.
PSOE concludes by saying that this unfortunate event, removes the credibility of a government that is more busy in solving his own than in solving the problems of citizens and calls for the immediate resignation of policy makers who have contributed to making this agreement that is insult to ciezanas ciezanos and struggling daily to get by while his council gives back.

Saracens closing on Northampton wing Chris Ashton claims Brenden Venter
Friday 13 January 2012
Saracens' technical director Brenden Venter has revealed the club are close to
signing England wing Chris Ashton from Northampton.
Ashton is out of contract at Franklin's Gardens this summer and has been in talks with the Aviva Premiership champions, which are said to be progressing well.
The 24-year-old is understood to want his future tied up before England launch the defence of their RBS 6 Nations title.
Venter told EWN Sport in South Africa: "The nice thing with Chris is he is a very talented individual which any team would love to have.
"I think there is a process in having a discussion with him and there must probably be an announcement in the next couple of weeks."
Ashton has scored 15 tries in 18 Tests for England and 95 in 105 appearances for Northampton since his cross-code switch from Wigan in 2007.
Northampton have already made clear they will not break the bank to keep Ashton.
Saracens have spent the last week in Cape Town preparing for their Heineken Cup clash with Biarritz, which the club had initially wanted to play in South Africa.
Local issues over which Cape Town stadium would host the game forced Saracens to bring the vital fixture back to Vicarage Road.
Venter denied the squad's temporary relocation this week, and the travel involved. would have any detrimental affect on the squad.
"It's lovely travelling to South Africa and the people are unbelievably friendly," he said.
"Everyone has had a good time but one thing this team prides itself on is switching on and off for the big games. I think we will play well."

Tod’s, an Italian luxury leather goods maker, announced on Thursday that French luxury giant LVMH had agreed to increase its stake in the company to 10 per cent, describing the move as “friendly support” for the brand.
Tod’s said in a statement that LVMH would acquire a 6.8% stake from its founder and chairman, Diego Della Valle. LVMH has a 3.2% stake in the company.
According to a person familiar with the matter, LVMH has no plans to increase its stake in Todds for the time being. Diego Della Valle, Todds chairman, has been a member of LVMH’s board since 2002.
Tods’s performance during COVID-19 was inferior to that of most of his competitors. The company said in January that sales fell by nearly a third in 2020, the fifth consecutive year.
