More human remains found in Liberty County

Posted on by

Additional unidentified skeletal remains were found near a highway in the Cleveland-area Saturday during a search effort by volunteers and the Liberty County Sheriff's Office.

The remains were found on County Road 332, about half a mile east of Highway 59. Liberty County police began the search after receiving a call from residents who found a human skull and vertebrae in the area Thursday evening. The sheriff's office requested Texas Equusearch's help in a search Saturday morning.

The search team of about 40 volunteers and mounted officers recovered several bones at the site. Equusearch coordinator Jack Boggess said around five bones were found, including pieces resembling a human rib and vertebrae segment.

Liberty County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Ken DeFoor said that after having retrieved around 40 pieces of evidence surrounding the remains, no additional searches are planned in the forested area.

"We feel we have gathered all the physical evidence available," DeFoor said.

The remains will be transported to a forensics lab, where officials hope DNA tests will yield the identity of the body.

First Liberty Power Fencemaker Water Removal Approved

Posted on by

LAS VEGAS, April 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --First Liberty Power Corp. (FLPC), an innovative and diversified mine exploration and development company focused on bringing to market "Mined in America" strategic industrial minerals, is pleased to announce, site preparation for the Fencemaker mine will be commencing with water removal.

On Tuesday of this week, James Vogan, Director of Stockpile Reserves LLC, First Liberty Power's partner at Fencemaker, and State of Nevada officials, agreed upon a water removal and disposal/containment plan. As a result of this agreement on the water removal strategy, the team will be commencing the work this week. Mr. Vogan explained, "The ground support team will pump the water into containment facilities on the property, and during the impending mining operations will recycle the water to assist with the mining process, which will help reduce the cost of the operation."

In addition, the Water Pollution Control Permit (WPCP), which is current with the State of Nevada, requires quarterly analysis of the monitoring well, which we now intend to undertake ourselves with a micro purge system. This is another cost saving initiative as the team continues to implement "six sigma" practices on the mine site as much as we can at this stage. Mr. Vogan is also close to completing the interview process with qualified companies as for the reinforcement of the existing adit.

Bob Reynolds, FLPC Vice President Operations, stated, "The Fencemaker project continues to move forward, and now with the water removal procedure being implemented, the team will now shift their attention to the reinforcement of the existing adit."

First Liberty Power will continue to use its Pathways of Progress program to inform and update on all operational advances on the mining operation.

Liberty High named distinguished school

Posted on by

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - Liberty High School has been named by the California Department of Education as a California Distinguished School for 2013.

Liberty High is one of 218 California middle and high schools to be honored distinguished schools this years, said Tom Torlakson, the States Superintendent of Public Instruction.

"These schools have gone the extra mile to provide high-quality instruction that puts their students on the right path toward career and college," Torlakson said. "Given the enormous challenges schools have faced in recent years, it is inspiring to see this kind of success in so many schools. Our future depends on meeting the needs of every student no matter where they come from or where they live."

The 2013 California Distinguished Schools Program directly focuses on the right of California's students to an equitable and rigorous education, and recognizes those schools that have made progress in narrowing the academic achievement gap, Torlarkson added.

In a letter to Libby Wyatt, the Principal of Liberty High, Torlakson wrote, This award is a direct reflection of the dedication, hard work, and vision of Liberty High Schools educational community, and I am pleased to be able to award this honor.

Kern High School District schools have been a California Distinguished Schools a total of 16 times since the program was instituted in 1986. Some KHSD schools have received the honor more than once. This is the first time Liberty High has received the award. Liberty High opened in 1999.

Other KHSD schools to have been named California Distinguished Schools include Arvin High (1993-94), Bakersfield High (1993-94), Centennial High (2010-11), East Bakersfield High (1985-86, 1995-96), Foothill High (1993-94), Highland High (1987-88, 1993-94), Kern Valley High (1989-90,1995-96, 2006-07), South High (1993-94), Stockdale High (2006-07) and West High (1986-87,1995-96).

To apply for Distinguished School honors, schools must meet a variety of eligibility criteria, including accountability measures. Once schools are deemed eligible, the California Department of Education (CDE) invites them to apply to be recognized as a California Distinguished School. The application process consists of a written application, which includes a comprehensive description of two of the school's signature practices, and a county-led site validation review process, which validates the implementation of those signature practices.

Sirius XM says Liberty's Maffei is new chairman

Posted on by

NEW YORK (AP) -- Sirius XM Radio Inc. said Thursday that Gregory Maffei of Liberty Media has replaced Eddy Hartenstein as chairman of the satellite radio company's board of directors.

Sirius XM disclosed Wednesday in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that Maffei became chairman this month. Maffei, 52, is Liberty Media president and CEO. The change comes three months after the Liberty acquired majority control in Sirius XM and regulators approved the transfer of Sirius XM's broadcast licenses to Liberty.

Maffei has been on the Sirius XM board since March 2009. Hartenstein, 62, was the company's non-executive chairman since November 2009, and he still has a seat on the board. He is also the publisher and CEO of the Los Angeles Times.

Liberty Media is run by cable magnate John Malone. It bought a 40 percent stake in Sirius XM in 2009 after agreeing to lend the company $530 million, saving the company from near bankruptcy. It gradually acquired more of Sirius after that.

Sirius XM directors Leon Black, Lawrence Gilberti, and Jack Shaw resigned from the board after Liberty Media gained majority control. That allowed Liberty to gain control of the board of directors. Former CEO Mel Karmazin left the company in December ahead of the takeover. Mark Carleton, Robin Pringle, Charles Tanabe and Sirius XM CEO James Meyer were subsequently appointed to the board.

The company said Wednesday that Tanabe won't stand for election to a full one-year term. Malone, who has been on the board since April 2009, also won't run for a new term. Sirius XM said it nominated David Zaslav and Malone's son Evan, to fill those seats on the board.

Zaslav, 53, is president and CEO of media company Discovery Communications. Evan Malone, 42, has been a director of Liberty Media since August 2008. He also works as an engineering consultant.

There are 13 positions on Sirius XM's board. Shareholders will vote on the nominees at the company's annual meeting on May 21.

Shares of Sirius XM edged up 2 cents to $3.15 in afternoon trading.
