Following South’s presentation of SRI’s Third Quarter Report at the Jan. 15 Warren County Board of Supervisors meeting, Tony Carter acknowledged that the planning and implementation stages of the SRI Roadmap were originally envisioned as a five-year process. Exactly how long SRI’s leadership would be required before local officials could take the lead was never pinpointed, Carter said. However, Carter then acknowledged the importance of SRI’s oversight in moving this project ahead at its outset, whereas other studies funded by local governments have floundered to a halt amidst municipal squabbling and inertia.

One of the most wanted Nazi war criminals Aribert Heim may have fled the Costa Brava for another area of Spain or Denmark to escape an intense search by Spanish police. Recently, police have focused their investigations on two artists living in Palafrugell. The artists, a couple originally from France and Italy, allegedly received German bank transfers of €300,000 from one of Dr Heim's sons, El Mundo said. Police are trying to determine whether they helped hide Dr Heim and acted as a front to sustain him economically - or simply sold their works of art.

[F]inally, the chairman of Tyco International Ltd., Edward Breen, received $16 million (USD) in compensation last year. This is the same company who last year saw its former CEO, Dennis Kozlowski, sentenced to prison for grand larceny, securities fraud and falsifying business records. The trial alleged Kozlowski and others stole as much as $600 million from the company for a lavish lifestyle that included spending $6,000 of company money for a shower curtain and having the company pay a substantial part of the $2 million cost of the birthday party he threw for his wife. No one is worth $16 million in annual compensation - period.
