In an announcement that surprised everyone, Chief Elections Officer, Garret Donaldson today declared that the result of last week's election for City Council were invalid. According to Donaldson, irregularities in the procedures at a number of polling stations, along with the fact that some ballot boxes appeared to have not been properly locked, nullify the results in at least four districts and possibly as many as three more, which are still under investigation. The districts thus far affected are Carling North, Hillview, Lancaster, and Powell. Still being looked into are City Central, Matawa West, and Renfrew. It was not said exactly what will happen now, though, by law it seems the Council will not be able to hold any further sessions or enact any regulations untilthe matter is resolved.

Today, we will discuss the role of protein in your bodybuilding program here at Max's Gym. I'm sure you all know that protein is important and, in fact, it is simply impossible to build muscle or even sustain life without it. Perhaps what you do not fully understand, though, it just how important it is to consume large quantities if you wish to add mass and gain weight. It is pointless to follow a disciplined, regular workout regimen if your body is not receiving enough protein to convert that hard work into muscle. In effect, your muscles are protein. When you work out with heavy weight, what you're doing is destroying muscle tissues. That is why you do it. To get bigger and stronger, your body must replace and add to that muscle tissue you just damaged. But, how can it do that if the raw materials, the building blocks, are not available in large enough quantities? That is how you must think of protein: the building blocks of muscle.

Hello, Adam. I finally found out why I was getting shockingly good fuel consumption rates on my new car. I mean, 37 miles to the gallon! I was almost ready to write the newspapers and manufacturer about my amazing good fortune. Well, it seems my neighbor Lenny and his son Chuck thought I was a bit too enthusiastic about the car, so they wanted to play a little trick on me. Every night since I got the car, they have been sneaking into my driveway where I park it, and putting a couple of gallons into the gas tank. Very cute. They finally confessed today when I told them, yet again, how amazing the car is. We had a good laugh about it. However, I'm not going to just let them trick me like that without getting back at them. So, let me know if you have any good ideas for a harmless prank I might play on them.

In the fourth of our series of lectures on Australian aboriginal art, we will discuss the immediate impact of the arrival of European settlers on native culture. To deliver this lecture, we are most fortunate, indeed, to have a special guest. With doctorates in both Anthropology and Art History, Doctor Penelope Noble is recognized as perhaps the world's foremost authority on this and the broader subject of aboriginal society. She is the author of countless academic papers and two highly regarded books, one of which The Walkabout as Metaphor crossed over from the scholarly ranks to become a general audience bestseller. Her current research is funded by grants from no less than four national and international foundations, including the L.R. Hasselman Trust, and she is a curator of the Indigenous Peoples Wing of the Gravehust Museum and an Adjunct Professor at Westville University as well as Chairperson of The International Society of Anthropology.

Firstly, I'd like to thank all of you department heads and managers for coming to this meeting on such short notice. I won't waste time, but will get directly to the reason I called you here today. The rumors we have all heard recently are true. The company has been sold. Apparently the contract is still being drafted by the lawyers, but a letter of intent has been signed and the deal should be completed within a week. This is not a merger, as some expected, but an outright sale. I know that ill make many people nervous about their jobs, but the board has assured me that one of the terms of the deal was that nobody would be let go. And that is what I want you to convey to your staff. Their jobs are safe. No doubt the change will be difficult and there will be adjustments and problems, but we all do still have jobs.

Ladies and gentlemen. We would remind you that it is both dangerous and illegal to run onto the field or throw soft drinks, bottles or any other items onto the field. This is specially true while the players and officials are present, as serious injury can result from even the most harmless seeming object or from fan interference with players and officials. Violation of this rule may result in eviction from the premises or arrest and heavy fines. We would also ask those with field level seats stay at least five meters away from all equipment, lighting, and television camera trucks. This is for your own safety as well as that of cameramen and technicians. And finally, we remind you that the consumption of alcoholic beverages is limited to restaurants and, beginning this season, has been banned in the stands, corridors, and restrooms. Violators will be persecuted.

Before I begin, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Principal Adler for inviting me. My purpose this morning is simple: to persuade you all to meet with us and consider a career with Unidyne Industries when the time comes to leave here. I hope to do that by explaining the company to you; who we are, what we do, and what our vision of the future is, and most importantly, how you might help fulfill that vision and create that future. We like to think that even though we have been in operations for over half a century, we are as bright, motivated, forward-looking, and innovative as the newest start-up. Our research and development division is second to none as is our commitment to the nurturing of young minds and talents that people such as you embody.

Good morning. We are delighted that you have decided to join our tour of historic Castle Killackey and its grounds today. We are sure you'll be fascinated by the many displays of artifacts of 12th century warfare and everyday life in a feudal society. We will start here in the castle itself with a tour of every room and hall, including the infamous castle tower, called the "keep", which was really dungeon where prisoners were held. This will take us about two hours all together with a short 15 minutes restroom break. We'll then move on to the outer buildings, starting with the stables and blacksmith forge. Following that, we will break for 1 hour and 15 minutes for lunch - authentic middle ages food served in the castle dining hall. Then this afternoon we will spend another 90 minutes visiting a few of the local cottages where the Lord's workers, or "serfs" as they were called, would have lived.

I'd like to introduce the newest executive addition to the Vector Soft family, Jennifer Steele. Some of you, I'm sure, have already heard of Jennifer. She has a solid and well-deserved reputation in our industry. In her last position as Senior Programmer at OmniTek, she was instrumental in the development of a number of highly innovative and strong-selling logistics programs that are now used throughout the shipping industry. Before that, as Product Manager at Promix Corp., Jennifer was responsible for consumer electronics software we all recognize. With her talent and background, she was an obvious candidate when we were looking for someone to head up our new divisio and we're thrilled to find that she shares our vision of the future for both the industry in general and our company. So now, let me introduce our Vice President of Development, Jennifer Steele.

Hey, Dick. It's Steve White. Todd, Sammy, Vinnie and I are heading to Mount Killman for the weekend to do some skiing and fun. We wondered if you'd like to come along. Bruce Drake's away and said we could use his cabin. It's just a couple of mile from the slopes and pretty close to town.So, ski all day; play all night at the Big Moose Bar? What do you think? Sound appealing? Call me back if you're interested. It's not a long drive and the roads are good and traffic is light, but we'll leave really early Saturday morning - maybe 5:30 - so we can get on the hills before the crowds.

The following is a Public Service Announcement from WPXX Radio. This is State Secretary of Health, Brian Fowler, with an important message. The summer storm season is approaching and there are several precautions we all should take and dangers we must be aware of. In this message, I wish to address one of them: dirty water. Beyond the major destruction of homes and property caused, one of the main results of tropical storms is the disruption and contamination of the water supply. Dirty water can carry germs that make you temporarily or permanently ill or even kill you. After a storm, listen for reports from local officials to learn if tap water is safe. Until you hear that it is safe, use only bottled, boiled, or chemically treated water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and brushing your teeth. Be sure to boil water for at least one minutes to kill germs. In my next message, I will talk about electricity and the hazards of power failures during and after a storm. Thank you.

Today, I'd like to talk about an important but overlooked point and common error in the preparation and serving of your meat dishes. You have selected your cut of meat for just the right amount of lean and fat. You have seasoned it to your taste and cooked it to perfection. And now you are going to cut it up and serve it, right? Wrong. If you slice beef too quickly after cooking, your steaks can be dry and your roasts tough and hard to chew. Allowing the meat to stand for only a couple ofminutes gives the natural juices time to redistribute and reduces moisture loss. So, how long should one wait? Follow these guidelines: Steaks - wait one to two minutes. Roasts - wait 10 to 15 minutes. And remember: always use a sharp knife, use a wooden cutting board to prevent slipping, and carve meat into slices by cutting across the grain.

I called you Department Head here this morning because we need to talk through a few thing. Everyone here is doing a fine job, nobody is incompetent or lacking dedication, yet recently we have experienced shortfalls in production, missed shipping dates, launched advertising campaigns for goods that have not yet been manufactured, and various other catastrophes. Obviously there is a problem with communication within this company. The level of coordination and cooperation is about zero. So, you are all here: Sales, Marketing, Manufacturing, Shipping, and Administration. We are going to work this out together and come up with a solution. Perhaps the solution will hard or perhaps obvious and easy. But we will find one and it will be one we all agree upon. Let's go around the table, beginning with David, and I'd like you all to tell what you need. Then we'll look at all of your points and concerns.

Your attention, please: a child has been found on the Departures level, Section D. She is at least five years old, has brown hair and green eyes, and is wearing a black jacket and white pants. We do not know the girl's name because she has no ticket or identification of any kind in her backpack or on her clothing and when asked, the only response she will give is "I am not allowed to talk to strangers." She is quite calm at the moment, but may become scared soon. If this is your child or if you know whose child it is, please come to the security office between Sections F and G, or contact us on one of the white security phones located throughout the building and parking garage, or speak with any security officer near you.

Before starting new business, I'd like to review a couple of the outstanding matters from the minutes of our last monthly meeting. Firstly, Henna Marks, our Finance Secretary, told us she'd have the net income numbers from our annual flea market sale for this meeting tonight, and she will let us know those numbers a bit later. Paul Nance on the Building Committee indicatedthey were considering tenders from several contractors for resurfacing our tennis courts.He too will bring us up-to-date. And finally, it was proposed by George Leith that the swimming pool be enlarged. Marilyn Duff proposed, and it was agreed, that no vote would be held on that issue until a full report on costs could be provided both with respect to construction and potential additional maintenance costs, water costs, and possible tax implications. George will give a progress report immediately after Henna, who will speak now.

Today on Cine Chat, we look at two new releases and talk with director Martin Bellman about his current project still in production, a spy thriller called Encryption starring Dennis Moore and Molly Graydon. Before that, the first of our new release subjects is the latest from action film producer Jerry Sanders. As expected, The Destroyer opened to packed theaters in its nation-wide release this past weekend. At the other end of the cinematic spectrum with a much more modest release on limited screens and in art cinemas, is our other film, A Small War. This movie is the first that veteran actor James Sykes has both acted in and directed. As usual, we will also run down the top 10 grossing movies of the week and provide a brief preview of the upcoming Parallax Film Festival, the personal project of retired studio executive Thaddeus Monk.

Let's turn to the business world for a moment. The Japanese computer chip giant Lynteco released a statement announcing the undertaking of an international joint venture with Juniper.Lynteco hopes to expand their market share in the global computer ship market through the partnership. In the last quarter alone, Lynteco was able to strike deals giving it access to the Korean and Chinese markets as well. The American laptop company Juniper, which has been experiencing decreasing profits over the last three quarters, thinks the powerful Lynteco 3.2 will attract more customers away from Juniper's competitors. Juniper's market share has droppedby 5% over the last year. For Lynteco, this move places it as one of the world's top chip producers.
