When will the legal system

When will the legal system take a stand and discipline lawyers who put forward ignorant and oppressive arguments? While it may have been the defendant words ("He said the sex was consensual. He said he knew it was consensual by her body language, her soft moaning and because she did not stop him."), his lawyer likely did not oppose this and may have said the same thing. Lawyers shouldn be able to say nonsense like this without consequences from the bar.

On March 6, 2007 2 New Jersey residents won 390 million dollars in the New Jersey Lottery. To this day this is the biggest recorded lottery winnings in the United States. The 2 New Jersey Residents split a $390 million jackpot with another winner from Georgia. In fact, three of the 'Fab Four' were actually in the audience at the 1969 festival at Woodside Bay.He explained: "In his autobiography, Mike McGear Paul McCartney's brother describes how both McCartney and John Lennon hitch hiked down from Liverpool for a holiday, staying with him when he worked in a pub in Ryde."Whether that holiday in 1960 was the inspiration for 'Ticket to Ryde/Ticket to Ride' is a source of conjecture among Beatles historians others maintain it describes cards showing a clean bill of health carried by prostitutes in Hamburg where the Beatles had played early in their career.Either way, in 1965 the Mayor of Ryde knew a marketing opportunity when he saw one.He sent the Fab Four first class train tickets to entice them to the island.John Lennon reportedly reacted with a typically caustic quip.Mike Plumbley has documented the history of the Isle of Wight music scene and insists not having the Beatles was not down to it being a musical backwater.He said: "Promoters on the island would have loved to have had them, given how big they were."It was a really vibrant <a href="http://www.cheapjerseysfromchinasale.com" target="_blank">wholesale jerseys</a> scene it was a holiday destination and all kinds of people played here Eric Clapton, Lulu, the Moody Blues, the Rolling Stones."Speculating on why the Beatles never crossed the <a href="http://www.cheapjerseysfromchinasale.com" target="_blank">wholesale nfl jerseys</a> Solent, he said: "They were too successful, too big and too expensive for the clubs at the time of the classic tours. As they got more famous, there just weren't the venues on the Isle of Wight."I think that's all it down the luck of the game, timing and finance that's purely why they didn't come."By the time the Isle of Wight hosted its legendary festivals, the Beatles may have been "more popular than Jesus", but had not played a scheduled live show since San Francisco in August 1966.Mike Plumbley explained: "The Foulk brothers [the festival organisers] didn't have enough money to book them affording the Beatles at that time would have been astronomical."However at the second festival in 1969, three Beatles were in the audience to see Bob Dylan, who had been persuaded to come to the island after a self imposed break from live performances.Geoff Wall was also among the tens of thousands of festival goers."They specifically went to see Bob Dylan you've got to remember Bob Dylan was a huge cultural icon. He was the second messiah for a lot of people."The great and the good came along to see the reappearance of the great man and sure enough in the VIP area was John Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison, looking up, almost star struck, at Dylan in his white suit."Mike Plumbley's research among islanders who worked at the festival reveals George Harrison had spent much of the previous week "just messing around with songs" with Dylan at Forelands Farm, Bembridge, and was joined by John Lennon, Yoko Ono and Ringo Starr.Of course, having the Beatles on the Isle of Wight festival stage would have been an iconic moment, not just for the festival but in the history of popular music.Geoff Wall recalled: "There was always speculation there was was going to be a huge jam session."Mike Plumbley said: "That would have been massive at the time it would have been unbelievable.

More a survival story than a creation tale, Federal Express was down to its last $5,000 back in 1974 after rising fuel costs wiped out the roughly $100 million on which the company had been founded. Without enough cash left to fund the operation of his company's air fleet, Fed Ex founder Fred Smith took the money to Vegas and risked it all at the blackjack tables. He left town with $32,000 enough to keep his company in business while he scrambled to secure a sizeable loan.
