An associate of the father who allegedly carried out the now-infamous balloon boy hoax to promote a proposed reality show is wanted for questioning after e-mails surfaced showing the two had discussed a similar stunt months ago as part of a public relations campaign for the program.

Investigators said they want to interview Robert Thomas, a Denver man who claimed Richard Heene had told him he was planning a media stunt to promote a proposed reality show. Thomas, a self-described researcher, sold his story to Gawker. Thomas said the show would feature Heene as a mad scientist who carries out various scientific experiments.com and provided the Web site with e-mail exchanges between him and Heene.Gawker.”This will be the most significant UFO-related news event to take place since the Roswell Crash of 1947, and the result will be a dramatic increase in local and national awareness about The Heene Family, our Reality Series, as well as the UFO Phenomenon in general,” according to a copy of the show’s proposal provided to the site by Thomas.com editor-in-chief Gabriel Snyder confirmed the New York-based Web site paid Thomas, but declined to say how much for the story billed with the headline: “Exclusive: I Helped Richard Heene Plan a Balloon Hoax.Messages left for Thomas by The Associated Press were not returned.”Snyder said Thomas was planning to meet with investigators Sunday night, though sheriff’s officials did not return messages seeking confirmation.com story that the plan he knew about did not involve Heene’s children.Thomas, 25, said in his Gawker.The drama played out on live television to millions of viewers worldwide.The alleged stunt temporarily shut down Denver International Airport, and the National Guard provided two helicopters in an attempt to rescue 6-year-old Falcon Heene, who was believed to be inside the flying-saucer shaped homemade balloon that hurtled more than 50 miles across two counties. When the balloon landed without the boy, officials thought he had fallen out and began the grim search for his body. When the balloon landed without the boy, officials thought he had fallen out and began the grim search for his body.”"We certainly know that there’s a conspiracy between the husband and wife, you’ve probably seen some of the e-mails and some of the things on the Internet suggesting that there may be other conspirators,” Alderden said. Alderden said the stunt two weeks in the planning was a marketing ploy by the Heenes, who met in acting school in Hollywood and have appeared on ABC’s reality show “Wife Swap. Alderden didn’t name the media outlet but said it was a show that blurs “the line between entertainment and news.Alderden said documents show that a media outlet has agreed to pay money to the Heenes with regard to the balloon incident.”Let’s call it (my statement) short of speculation that a media outlet was in on the hoax, but let’s not discount the possibility,” he said.”It wasn’t clear whether the deal was signed before or after the alleged hoax, or whether the media outlet was a possible conspirator.com had not contacted the Heene family or offered them money for their story, referring to Alderden’s reference to a deal being struck by a media outlet.In an e-mail Sunday to the AP, Snyder said editors at Gawker.The parents weren’t under arrest, the sheriff said.”No, that wasn’t us,” Snyder said. Federal charges were also possible. Federal charges were also possible.The most serious charges are felonies and carry a maximum sentence of six years in prison and a $500,000 fine. Alderden said they would be seeking restitution for the costs, though he didn’t have an estimate.The cost for just the two military helicopters was about $14,500 ($NZ19,785).As Alderden told reporters Sunday that the whole thing was a hoax, the Heenes were shopping for snacks at Wal-Mart, where Richard Heene told thehe was “seeking counsel.”"This thing has become so convoluted,” Heene said, tears welling in his eyes. He said his wife was holding together better than he was.The couple’s attorney, David Lane, issued a statement later Sunday saying the Heenes were willing to voluntarily turn themselves in to face charges. Lane said he advised the family against making public statements.Once investigators got a good look at the “flying saucer” they determined that the thin mylar balloon covered with foil and held together with duct tape would not have been able to launch with the 37-pound-boy inside, according to Colorado State University physics professor Brian Jones.Other parts of the story, including whether the 6-year-old had been hiding in the rafters of the family’s garage during an intense five-hour search also weren’t true, Alderden said.”For all we know he may have been two blocks down the road playing on the swing in the city park,” the sheriff said.The sheriff said all three of the Heenes’ sons knew of the hoax, but likely won’t face charges as a result of their ages. The oldest son is 10. One of the boys told investigators he saw his brother get in the balloon’s box before it launched.Alderden said Heene, a 48-year-old storm chaser, inventor and self-described amateur scientist, has a high school education and most recently earned a living by laying tile.Alderden said investigators had an “aha” moment that the story was a hoax when Falcon turned to his father during a CNN interview Thursday and said what sounded like “you had said we did this for a show” when asked why he didn’t come out of his hiding place.On Friday, Falcon got sick during two separate TV interviews when asked again why he hid.Alderden said they didn’t question the family Friday because they wanted to keep the family’s cooperation by maintaining the appearance that they believed their story. . No charges were filed.Alderden said officials tried Saturday to persuade Mayumi Heene, 45, to go to a safe house, but she declined.Alderden said the children were still with the parents Sunday and that child protective services had been contacted to investigate their well-being. On “Wife Swap,” Heene was portrayed as erratic, at one point throwing a glass of milk on a participant on the program.”Clearly, from all indications, Mr. Heene has somewhat of a temper,” Alderden said.The producer of “Wife Swap” said it had a show in development with the Heenes but the deal is now off. TLC also said Heene had pitched a reality show to the network months ago, but it passed on the offer.

US President Barack Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples,” the Norwegian Nobel Committee said, citing his outreach to the Muslim world and attempts to curb nuclear proliferation. . Obama’s name had been mentioned in speculation before the award but many Nobel watchers believed it was too early to award the president. “His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world’s population.

“Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future,” the committee said.

“Obama has as president created a new climate in international politics.”

The committee said it attached special importance to Obama’s vision of, and work for, a world without nuclear weapons. Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play,” the committee said. Former President Jimmy Carter won the award in 2002, while former Vice President Al Gore shared the 2007 prize with the UN panel on climate change.

Theodore Roosevelt won the award in 1906 and Woodrow Wilson won in 1919.

In his 1895 will, Alfred Nobel stipulated that the peace prize should go “to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between the nations and the abolition or reduction of standing armies and the formation and spreading of peace congresses.

The Nobel committee received a record 205 nominations for this year’s prize. Sweden and Norway were united under the same crown at the time of Nobel’s death.”

Unlike the other Nobel Prizes, which are awarded by Swedish institutions, he said the peace prize should be given out by a five-member committee elected by the Norwegian Parliament.

The committee has taken a wide interpretation of Nobel’s guidelines, expanding the prize beyond peace mediation to include efforts to combat poverty, disease and climate change.

A Northland school is determined to open next week for its 42 students despite a fire that destroyed its hall and staff room.

The fire at Whangaruru School, north of Whangarei, began at midday Thursday and ripped through a block of buildings.

No one was injured in the incident.

While the blaze, which is believed to have started in the staff room, was so intense that it blistered the paint on the close toby classroom, the school’s three classrooms remained largely intact.

She hoped it could be on Monday, but that depended on when the scene of the fire could be secured.

Principal Petina Stone said today that she was in discussions with contractors over when school would resume for its 42 pupils.

Ms Stone described what had happened as devastating for both the school and the community, which also used the hall. .

“It’s an historical building that has been lost to the whole community,” she said.

The block dated back to the 1950s, when it was part of a secondary school.”

School board vice-chairman Henry Haika, who is also a volunteer fireman, said locals would band together to ensure that what had been lost was rebuilt.

“The whole community had come together with wonderful support, which I want to acknowledge.

The fire is the second blow for the school in a month, after an Education Review Office report criticised the quality of teaching there and said most pupils were underachieving in class.

A Hungarian tourist severely beat an elderly gay man with a red banjo then shoved the instrument’s broken neck half way down his throat, a court has heard.

Ferdinand Ambach, 32, a dive master from Hungary, went on trial this morning at the High Court in Auckland for the murder of 69-year-old Ron Brown in his Onehunga home on December 7, 2007.

Mr Brown died in hospital two days after the alleged attack when his life support was turned off. They struck up a conversation and seemed to be getting on well.

In his opening statement, Crown prosecutor Nick Williams said Ambach had been in New Zealand for about one month when he met Mr Brown one evening at the Bar 306 in Onehunga.30pm they left together and bought beer from a close toby bottle store, he said.

About 9.

They then went by taxi to Mr Brown’s two-storey unit in Onehunga, where they drank the beers, then turned to bourbon and coke.

The neighbour phoned Mr Brown, who asked him to call police.

Later that night, a neighbour in an adjacent unit heard loud “crashing and banging” and could feel the vibration through the wall, Mr Williams said.

When the police arrived at 12. .

They found Mr Brown slumped over the bottom of the stairs with the banjo neck sticking out of his mouth and making a sound like he was snoring, Mr Williams said.38am, they saw Ambach throwing a double bed mattress out of a broken, second floor window.

Ambach was arrested and, having cut his finger on the broken window, was taken to hospital.

Ambach was arrested and, having cut his finger on the broken window, was taken to hospital.

He considered leaving but could not find an exit and did not have any money, Mr Williams said.

Ambach later told police he remembered only flashes of what happened but recalled Mr Brown placing his hand on his groin, then chasing him around a table and throwing things at him.

The trial is expected to take three weeks.

This afternoon the jury will travel to Onehunga to view the murder scene.

A minder for the Department of Labour’s chief executive is necessary to sort out the “shambles and mess” at the immigration service, Prime Minister John Key says.

An Auditor-General’s report released this month said the service, part of the Department of Labour, was focused on processing as many visas as possible without worrying about quality.

“This meant that staff who were under pressure to meet quantity targets had incentives to approve visas and permits, rather than decline them,” the report said.

The division was set up by the service’s former boss Mary Anne Thompson in 2005, who resigned last year after accusations of a conflict of interest in helping overseas family members gain residency.

The report found problems were worse in the Pacific Division than elsewhere in the service.

Ms Thompson is facing court action on fraud and dishonesty charges.

It was also alleged that she did not have a doctorate from the London School of Economics that many people believed she had when she applied for jobs earlier in her career. .

“This was a shambles and a mess left to us by the Labour Government,” Mr Key said said on TVNZ’s Breakfast programme.

The service last week reviewed its decision on 29-year-old Lithuanian tourist Jurga Skiauteris, so she and her family were allowed to remain in New Zealand until the birth of her baby.”

A person would be appointed to “ride shot-gun” and help change the immigration service, Mr Key said.

“Immigration is part of the Department of Labour so it doesn’t just have immigration to worry about it has ACC, it has employment law, it has a lot of different areas.

Dr Coleman told TV1′s Q+A show that the Auditor-General’s report was “very bad”.

He was confident Immigration Minister Jonathan Coleman could “sort it”.

The problems meant some people may be in New Zealand who should not be and others with legitimate rights may have been turned away, he said.

The problems meant some people may be in New Zealand who should not be and others with legitimate rights may have been turned away, he said.

Two years was the “outside limit” for changes to be made and New Zealand to have “a superb immigration service”.

The cost and risks of separating the immigration service out of the Department of Labour were too high, Dr Coleman said.
