The Fed Express rolls out of Shanghai with no signs of slowing down yet.
Roger Federer beat Frenchman Gilles Simon to win his first Shanghai Masters crown Sunday and his fourth title of the season.
The victory will move him above Rafael Nadal, who has been laid low with appendicitis, and up to second in the world rankings.
"Usually everything slows down at the end of the season," Federer told reporters in China. "Not for me this time.
"This year everything is going really well. I have so many highlights to look forward to for the end of the season, which is nice."
With just a handful of events to go until next month's season finale in London, Federer could still mathematically challenge Novak Djokovic to end the year as the world No.1.
The 33-year-old Swiss ace beat Djokovic - who arguably inflicted more pain by defeating Federer in the summer's Wimbledon final -- in the semifinals in Shanghai.
"I'm not even going to change my schedule because of it," Federer reflected on the possibility of regaining the number one spot.
"I haven't thought about it, to be quite honest. I mean, it's in Novak's racquet. He dictates.
"But nevertheless, I'm still going to be playing and hopefully playing well again."
Federer did not have it easy against Simon, who took the Swiss to a tiebreak in the opening set and had set point at 6-5 up.
But the 17-time grand slam champion snuffed out the threat to take the first set breaker 8-6.

Summarize the following movie reviews:
1. That neither protagonist has a distinguishable condition hardly matters because both are just actory concoctions, defined by childlike dimness and a handful of quirks.
2. Believes so fervently in humanity that it feels almost anachronistic, and it is too cute by half. But arriving at a particularly dark moment in history, it offers flickering reminders of the ties that bind us.
3. ...hits every cliche we've come to expect, including the assumption that "crazy" people are innocent, childlike and inherently funny.
4. A plucky parable about mastering one's fears, and making connections.
5. It's a hard film to resist.
6. Elling builds gradually until you feel fully embraced by this gentle comedy.
7. It's thoroughly entertaining and nonpatronizing, and occasionally even insightful.
8. A film of charm, freshness and bracingly generous humanity.
9. Rather than real figures, Elling and Kjell Bjarne become symbolic characters whose actions are supposed to relate something about the naďf's encounter with the world.
10. Heartwarming here relies less on forced air than on Petter Nćss' delicate, clever direction ... and a wonderful, imaginative script by Axel Hellstenius.
Summary:
|
Quirky without being overly cutesy, Elling is a gentle, warm comedy.

News article: North Korea’s Kim Jong-un misses key celebration, but sources say coup rumors are false
The mysterious disappearance of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un from public view for the last 35 days fueled wide speculation that he was ill or the victim of a possible coup, but a senior U.S. intelligence official calls the rumors false, and a Reuters source insists he’s “in total control.”
After weeks of unexplained absences, chatter on Kim’s whereabouts reached a fever pitch after he was conspicuously not on a list of dignitaries at an anniversary celebration of the founding of the ruling Workers' Party Friday.
An official state media dispatch listed senior government, military and party officials who paid their respects at the event marking the party's 69th anniversary, but not Kim. It said a flower basket with Kim's name on it was placed before statues of his father and grandfather, both of whom also ruled North Korea.
In the past two years, Kim marked the anniversary with a visit to the Pyongyang mausoleum where his father and grandfather’s bodies are interred.
Kim also missed a meeting of the country's parliament late last month, leaving many to wonder whether the leader was ill or no longer in power.
State media earlier said that the might of the party "is growing stronger under the seasoned guidance of Marshal Kim Jong Un."
Kim, 31, who was last seen in public attending a concert on Sept. 3rd, had been seen earlier walking with a limp.
But Reuters reported Friday that Kim was still in firm control of his government, according to a source with access to the secretive North's leadership. That source suggested Kim has been sidelined with a leg injury after taking part in a military drill.
"He ordered all the generals to take part in drills and he took part too. They were crawling and running and rolling around, and he pulled a tendon," the source told Reuters on condition of anonymity.
"He injured his ankle and knee around late August or early September while drilling because he is overweight. He limped around in the beginning but the injury worsened," the anonymous source added.
Kim came into power after his father died of a heart attack in 2011, and has rapidly gained weight since then.
"Kim Jong Un is in total control," the source told Reuters, and needs about 100 days to recuperate. The source’s information has not been independently verified.
National Security Council spokesman Patrick Ventrell told reporters Friday that the U.S monitors events in North Korea very closely.
“We have seen those same reports about Kim Jong Un’s health. I don’t have anything for you on that. Given that the DPRK regime is the most opaque on earth, it’s not surprising that there is very little reliable and publicly available information about this. Regarding rumors of a coup, as we have said previously, those appear to be false,” Ventrell said.
During a surprise visit to South Korea last week to attend the closing ceremonies of the Asian Games in Incheon, three senior North Korean leaders assured their South Korean counterparts that Kim was healthy, but that has done little to calm the rumors abroad that he was unwell.
U.S. and South Korean officials told The New York Times that there is no immediate evidence that there has been a coup.
"The last time was when everyone was predicting that Kim Jong-un would be pushed aside by his more experienced uncle, and look what happened to him," a senior official told the paper.
After surviving several earlier purges, Kim's uncle, Jang Song Thaek, was publicly shamed and then executed on treason charges in December 2013.
Geoffery Cain wrote in The Global Post that some analysts believe the leader's younger sister, Kim Yo Jong has been running the country in his absence.
"She is one of the only people in that we know has unfettered direct access to KJU. At the present time I would not be surprised if she is sole gatekeeper," Michael Madden, who runs the North Korea Leadership Watch blog, told Cain.
The article points out that little is known about the sister, believed to be born in the late 80s, but in March she appeared on state television as a senior official.
Kim is usually a near-constant one-man show in state media, but he has kept a low profile before. In 2012, he wasn't seen publicly for about three weeks, South Korean officials say.
"Such vanishing acts would be most unusual in democracies, but in totalitarian North Korea, Kim is the state. He is free to come and go as he pleases," Lee Sung-yoon, a North Korea expert at Tufts University’s Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, told The Times.
On Friday, South Korea's Unification Ministry said it believes Kim remains in charge, referring to a message conveyed by him via a delegation visiting last weekend, and Pyongyang's continued public position that Kim leads the country.
"So it appears it is being normally ruled by Kim Jong Un," ministry spokesman Lim Byeong-cheol said.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Murdered: Drummer Lee Rigby with his wife Rebecca at their wedding in 2007. Their son Jack is just two. MI5 had been monitoring the two fanatics responsible for the slaughter of a young soldier near Woolwich barracks for eight years. The Security Service is facing an inquiry by MPs amid a raft of devastating revelations about the killers’ known links to Islamist extremism. One of the pair – Michael Adebolajo – was so high profile he was photographed outside Paddington Green police station six years ago behind notorious hate preacher Anjem Choudary. He was even intercepted by officials as he attempted to travel to Somalia to fight alongside Islamist terrorists last year. It also emerged that Adebolajo was a violent ex-prisoner who was a member of a banned terrorist group. Incredibly, he was said to have been preaching jihad on the streets of Woolwich earlier this week, only a few hundred yards from where 25-year-old Army Drummer Lee Rigby – a married father – was beheaded. As MI5 faced accusations that they let the men slip through the net, David Cameron ordered a full intelligence review by a Westminster committee. On a dramatic day:. Previously: Michael Adebolajo was in a group of Muslim extremists who fought with police outside the Old Bailey in 2006. He had been arguing that he had the right to 'behead those who insult Islam' Terror suspect: Anjem Choudary (right) claimed that this is him pictured with Michael Adebolajo, 28, (circled) at an Islamist demonstration in London in 2007. Police chiefs described the counter terrorism investigation, one of the largest in recent history, as ‘complex and fast-moving’. Adeolajo, 28, and his friend remained under armed guard in separate hospitals being treated for gunshot wounds. They are expected to recover fully. The second suspect was reported last night by news outlets including Channel 4 News and The Times to be Michael Adebowale, 22, of Greenwich, south-east London. The victim was named yesterday as Drummer Rigby, a veteran of the Afghanistan war who has a two-year-old son. Father of a son: The victim was named yesterday as Drummer Lee Rigby, a veteran of the Afghanistan war. Much missed: Lee Rigby's friends, families and colleagues have paid tribute to the 'bubbly' character they loved. The. young soldier was run over and hacked to death with a meat cleaver and. knives near his barracks in Woolwich, South East London. Minutes. later the two Islamists were gunned down by firearms officers after. charging towards them in an apparent attempt to kill themselves. The. atrocity triggered a wave of national revulsion as the Prime Minster. branded it an attack on the British way of life and a ‘betrayal of. Islam’. Adebolajo and Adebowale mowed down Lee Rigby in this car before hacking him to death in the street in front of horrified onlookers. The streak of blood in front of the car shows how they dragged his body into the street. After the killing: Michael Adebolajo, 28, pictured on Wednesday, once served a jail sentence for violence. Angels of Woolwich: Gemini Donnelly-Martin, 20, and her mother Amanda (right) talk to Adebolajo while Ingrid Loyau-Kennett (left) talks to the Adebowale as Lee Rigby lies dead in the road. Mr Cameron said there was no justification for the attack and the responsibility lay purely with the ‘sickening individuals’ behind it. Did you witness the killing and take pictures or video? Or do you know the men involved? Email us: mailonlinepictures@dailymail.co.uk. Or call 0203 615 1943. He added: ‘This country will be. absolutely resolute in its stand against violent extremism and terror. We will never give in to terror or terrorism in any of its forms.’ The list of questions faced by the authorities was growing fast as evidence of the danger the two men posed to Britain grew. Sources said both men featured in ‘a number’ of counter terrorism investigations in recent years but were not seen as a ‘threat to life’. Yet Adebolajo, who was born in South London but is of Nigerian descent, was linked to Choudary as long ago as 2003. The. former fitness instructor is believed to have been a member of Al. Muhajiroun, which was led by the hate preacher until it was banned by. the Government. British citizen: The second attacker was named last night in reports as Michael Adebowale, 22. Sticken: The two alleged terrorists were filmed a the drama as it unfolded on camera phones before witnesses were shepherded away by officers. Picture: This image was the first to emerge on Twitter, showing people close to the soldier's dead body while police hang over the men they have just shot, the same street as today's stabbing. Aftermath: The men waited for 20 minutes saying they wanted to shoot the police, but were gunned down themselves and are shown here being detained. Hovering: An air ambluance comes into land on Woolwich's Wellington Street as crowds gather at the scene of the murder. He was jailed at least once for. violence and friends said he was a member of a gang of knife-wielding. street robbers in his hometown of Romford, Essex. 'This. country will be absolutely resolute in its stand against violent. extremism and terror. We will never give in to terror or terrorism in. any of its forms' Prime Minister David Cameron. Footage showed him standing directly behind Choudary during a protest outside Paddington Green police station in April 2007. It. is believed he may have also been held by the Met in 2006 after. protesting outside the Old Bailey during the trial of four Muslim men. The. defendants were ultimately jailed for their part in protests at the. Danish embassy in London against cartoons satirising the Prophet. Muhammad. Tearful: A mourner is overcome as he surveys the field of flowers that has been laid in Woolwich in recent days. Tributes: A group of mothers and their children head to the Bararcks to leave flowers and messages for the dead soldier, who also had a son, two. Sad: Bouquets and wreaths are being left along the street and tied to teh railings close to where Lee Rigby died. Personal: This anonymous message was to Lee and thanked him for what he did for Britain. Moved: Three young women prepare to lay flowers where the unnamed soldier was murdered brutally in Woolwich on Wednesday. Message: A handwritten note was also left by one member of the public left distraught by what happened to the murdered man Lee Rigby. Attached to a bunch of white roses, the neatly written note is from a person who didn't know the victim but felt moved to visit where he died. Men linked to Al Muhajiroun gathered outside the high security police station after Muslim convert Abu Izzadeen was arrested for inciting terrorism. Unbelievably, it is also claimed he was intercepted by police as he attempted to travel to Somalia last year to fight jihad. Sources said Adebolajo wanted to join Al-Shabaab, a notorious Al Qaeda affiliate responsible for terrorising the region. The 28-year-old was seen as recently as. last week wearing white robes and a cap as he preached outside a branch. of Poundland in Woolwich. Delicate: A forensic officers examine a revolver at the scene and places it in a protective box pistol close to Woolwich Barracks. Forensic approach: A team of police comb over grass and a brick wall for evidence to be used in this shocking murder case. Police have guarded the area where Lee Rigby was killed for at least 48 hours as they investigate exactly what happened. Residents said the former University of Greenwich student was handing out leaflets encouraging locals to support rebels in Syria. The second attacker, named last night in reports as Michael Adebowale, 22, is believed to have been born in Nigeria before becoming a naturalised British citizen. 'This is going to be a big blow to the new director of MI5, who has only been in the job for a couple of weeks' Professor Anthony Glees, University of Buckingham. A woman believed to be his girlfriend was arrested during a raid at his home in a block of council flats in Woolwich. Security officials are currently monitoring more than 2,000 suspects and sources point out they must target their resources on the fanatics considered to pose the greatest danger. They also say MI5’s resources have been dramatically increased since the July 7 bombings which has meant the number of suspects crossing the ‘radar’ of surveillance teams has itself soared. Patrols: Two soldiers, one of them carrying a. firearm, walk outside Woolwich Barracks yesterday following the murder. on Wednesday. Condemnation: David Cameron, pictured in Woolwich with local MP Nick Raynsford, said the attack would bring the UK together and 'make us stronger' Tribute: Prime Minister David Cameron, speaking outside Number 10, said the murder of a 'brave soldier' on the streets of London will bring the UK together and 'make us stronger' Scene: Boris Johnson speaks to police officers just yards from where the soldier was brutally murdered. Police yesterday raided a house which is believed to be connected with Woolwich murder suspect Michael Adebolajo. His father Anthony is said to live at this Lincolnshire address. Former home: Michael Adebolajo lived in this house in Romford with his parents while he converted to Islam as a teenager. Professor Anthony Glees, director of the Centre for Security and Intelligence Studies at the University of Buckingham, said MI5 made the ‘wrong call’. He said: ‘This is going to be a big blow to the new director of MI5, who has only been in the job for a couple of weeks.’ But Patrick Mercer, a Tory MP and counter terrorism expert, said it is ‘impossible’ for police and security services to keep us ‘100 per cent secure’.

Summarize:
The 24-year-old Englishman, who was with Manchester United, Liverpool and Burnley as a youth, has signed a one-year contract at Fir Park.
Sutton, who scored 13 goals last season, has joined St Johnstone.
"I've asked for the number nine jersey as I like the pressure of expectations," said Fletcher.
"I know the previous player wearing that number scored a lot, so my target is to not only match that but get more.
"I'm a player who will work hard and I know where the goal is."
Fletcher, who had spent spells on loan to Grimsby Town, Stockport County, Accrington Stanley, Crewe Alexandra and Yeovil Town, scored seven times in 32 appearances last season as York finished 18th in England's League Two.
He finally left Burnley permanently to join York in 2013 but was out of contract and was released this summer.
His arrival at Fir Park follows quickly after the addition of David Clarkson, the striker released by Dundee.
Manager Ian Baraclough told his club website: "I've seen a fair bit of Wes and know exactly what he is capable of.
"The club has also had him watched on several occasions and feel he is ready to add something different to our squad.
"His game will suit the way we want to play and, along with David Clarkson, will add more competition.
"This is just the beginning of the recruitment process though.
"We've still got several more faces to come all across the park and we'll continue to work hard to do that as quickly as possible."

Hoping to snap a four-game losing streak, the Bills flew to Arrowhead Stadium for a Week 12 duel with the Kansas City Chiefs. In the first quarter, Buffalo trailed early as Chiefs QB Tyler Thigpen completed a 36-yard TD pass to RB Jamaal Charles. The Bills responded with RB Marshawn Lynch getting a 1-yard TD run. In the second quarter, Buffalo took the lead as kicker Rian Lindell made a 21-yard field goal. Kansas City answered with Thigpen completing a 2-yard TD pass to TE Tony Gonzalez. Buffalo regained the lead as Lindell got a 39-yard field goal, while rookie CB Leodis McKelvin returned an interception 64 yards for a touchdown. The Chiefs struck back with kicker Connor Barth getting a 45-yard field goal, yet the Bills continued their offensive explosion as Lindell got a 34-yard field goal, along with QB Trent Edwards getting a 15-yard TD run. In the third quarter, Buffalo continued its poundings with Edwards getting a 5-yard TD run, while Lindell got himself a 38-yard field goal. Kansas City tried to rally as Thigpen completed a 45-yard TD pass to WR Mark Bradley, yet the Bills replied with Edwards completing an 8-yard TD pass to WR Josh Reed. In the fourth quarter, Buffalo pulled away as Edwards completed a 17-yard TD pass to TE Derek Schouman. The Chiefs tried to come back as QB Quinn Gray completed a 3-yard TD pass to WR Dwayne Bowe, yet the Bills' lead was too much for Kansas City to overcome. This marked the first time the Bills scored 50+ points on an opponent since Sept. 1991 against the Pittsburgh Steelers (52-34).

Amitabh Bachchan (pronounced [@mI'ta:bh 'b@tS:@n]; born 11 October 1942) is an Indian film actor, producer, television host, and former politician. He first gained popularity in the early 1970s for films such as Zanjeer, Deewaar, and Sholay, and was dubbed India's "angry young man" for his on-screen roles in Bollywood. Referred to as the Shahenshah of Bollywood, Star of the Millennium, or Big B, he has since appeared in over 190 Indian films in a career spanning almost five decades. Bachchan is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential actors in the history of Indian cinema as well as world cinema.
Bachchan was born in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, in north central India. His ancestors on his father's side hailed from a village called Babupatti, in the Raniganj tehsil, in the Pratapgarh district, in the present-day state of Uttar Pradesh, in India. His father Harivansh Rai Bachchan, was a well-known Awadhi dialect-Hindi poet and a Hindu, while his mother, Teji Bachchan, was Sikh. Bachchan was initially named Inquilaab, inspired by the phrase Inquilab Zindabad popularly used during the Indian independence struggle. In English, Inquilab Zindabad means "Long live the revolution." However, at the suggestion of fellow poet Sumitranandan Pant, Harivansh Rai changed the boy's name to Amitabh, which, according to a Times of India article, means "the light that will never die." Although his surname was Shrivastava, Amitabh's father had adopted the pen name Bachchan ("child-like" in colloquial Hindi), under which he published all of his works. It is with this last name that Amitabh debuted in films and for all other practical purposes, Bachchan has become the surname for all of his immediate family. Bachchan's father died in 2003, and his mother in 2007. Bachchan is an alumnus of Sherwood College, Nainital. He later attended Kirori Mal College, University of Delhi. He has a younger brother, Ajitabh. His mother had a keen interest in theatre and was offered a feature film role, but she preferred her domestic duties. Teji had some influence in Amitabh Bachchan's choice of career because she always insisted that he should "take the centre stage." Bachchan is married to actress Jaya Bhaduri. The couple have two children, Shweta Bachchan (known as Shweta Nanda after her marriage to businessman Nikhil Nanda) and Abhishek Bachchan (also an actor; and husband of actress Aishwarya Rai).

Because millennials have such a different view of investing than earlier generations, advisors may have to figure out a different way to work with them, starting with the notion of risk.
Certified financial planner Joe Pitzl, a partner at Pitzl Financial, for example, doesn't push his young clients into stocks right from the start.
"To be a heavy equity investor, you have to behave like one," he said. There's little to be gained by pushing young investors into aggressive portfolios if they'll bail at the first whiff of trouble.
Read MoreHow much risk can you stomach?
Instead, he recommends the opposite of the asset-allocation rule of thumb, which generally follows that young investors can tolerate risk better than older ones. Initially, he puts young investors into a 50/50 split between stocks and bonds, boosting their equity stake only after they've weathered a bear market or two.
Kendra Thompson, head of North American wealth and asset management for management consulting, technology services and outsourcing firm Accenture, said financial advisors need to adopt many more of these new approaches, including how advisors communicate.

What's an example of a movie review?

i saw this movie at the toronto film festival with fairly solid expectations. the movie has a great cast and was closing at the festival so it must be good, right? how wrong i was.
i knew we were in trouble when before the film the director was talking about how when he was directing an episode of wiseguy he met an unknown actor named kevin spacey (a director/writer of wiseguy making his feature debut = blah)... well the director/writer of Edison must have some incriminating pictures of kevin spacey killing a homeless man, because i cannot see how he (along with the other actors in the film) would ever agree to be in this disaster.
this movie is absolutely appalling! it's a mixture of every cop hard boiled cliché ever. there is nothing new with Edison. the acting was bad and the direction was even worse. it looked like that aforementioned episode of wiseguy. this was the best casted direct to video movie i've ever seen.
some examples of just bad silly moments in Edison... morgan freeman dancing around his apartment for no reason to rock and roll music... justin timberlake getting creative criticism from his belle while his apartment is surrounded by candles... llcoolj driving a vintage firebird... 3 guys being shot in the head...
this movie is the opposite of good.
STAY AWAY FROM EDISON!

Three suspected ecstasy deaths in England
Police in England are urging anyone who may have bought a dangerous brand of ecstasy tablet to surrender them to authorities, without fear of arrest, following three suspected drug deaths.
A 20-year-old labourer, named as John Hocking, died after being found seriously unwell in Rendlesham, near Ipswich in Suffolk, on Thursday.
A second man, also in his 20s and originally from Lithuania, died in Ipswich the same day.
Another man from the same address was taken to hospital in a serious condition.
Detectives believe their cases may be linked to the drugs-related death in Ipswich on Christmas Eve of another man, also aged in his 20s.
Police believe the deaths could have been a result of taking a particularly dangerous batch of ecstasy.
Superintendent Louisa Pepper, from Suffolk Police, said that anyone in possession of the tablets, believed to be red, triangular and embossed with an "S" Superman emblem, should hand them in at a police station, accident and emergency department or fire station.
"Tragically three young men have lost their lives.
"We view this particular drug as especially dangerous and want to prevent further deaths and save lives."
Supt Pepper said she could understand people's reluctance to surrender drugs to authorities "but we are not looking to arrest or prosecute people".
Police have drawn a link between the drugs and dangerous pills with a similar appearance which were in circulation in the Netherlands last month.
Those tablets had a large concentration of PMMA, which acts more slowly than MDMA, the main component of ecstasy. This causes people to take more pills because they think they are not working.
PMMA can cause high body temperature and an increased heart rate.
Do you have any news photos or videos?

Police in England believe a bad batch of ecstasy tablets is behind the deaths of three young men and have urged people to hand in any suspect drugs.

(CNN) -- It is a tragic irony that two countries in Africa -- Nigeria and Uganda -- that for many years experienced the subjugation of colonial rule have recently enshrined into law discriminatory practices that dehumanize their own citizens. In Uganda, a draconian bill recently signed by President Yoweri Museveni makes it a crime to be gay. Any person convicted of "the offense of homosexuality" faces life imprisonment. Anyone found guilty of "funding or sponsoring homosexuality or other related activities" will be sentenced to a seven-year jail term. Apart from being a flagrant abuse of human rights, the new law will severely impede the efforts of any organization conducting HIV prevention and outreach programs serving gay men in Uganda.

Fleet Fingers and Red-Eye Flights: A Pianist Is a Study in Stamina
Even with his astonishing technique, the Russian pianist Daniil Trifonov looked as if he needed all his youthful energy to get through his formidable recital program at Carnegie Hall on Wednesday. During the fiendishly difficult final work, Stravinsky’s Three Movements From “Petrouchka,” there were fleeting moments when the slender, boyish Mr. Trifonov, 25, threw his arms so forcefully into pummeling fortissimo chords that his body lifted maybe six inches off the piano bench.
[ More in classical music this week ]
But there is another kind of stamina involved in a touring career, especially when you are, like Mr. Trifonov, one of the most in-demand pianists of the new generation: the stamina of physical endurance and mental focus.
I observed some of his arduous preparation for this recital on Monday afternoon, when he tried out pianos at Carnegie Hall (eventually picking a German-made Steinway) and practiced for a couple of hours. He had just arrived from California, where, on Sunday afternoon, he played the last of four performances of Rachmaninoff’s daunting Third Piano Concerto with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. On Sunday night, he took a red-eye flight to New York, arriving on Monday morning at the Battery Park City apartment he shares with his fiancée, who works in publishing.
He had Carnegie to himself for two hours in the afternoon. After going through his program — works by Schumann and Shostakovich, in addition to the Stravinsky — he sat for an interview with me a block away at Petrossian Cafe, where he ordered a salad (no dressing) and ate only half. Then he took the subway to his apartment to get in more practice before meeting Sergei Babayan, his former teacher, at the Juilliard School for an evening coaching session.
That’s what you call a work-filled 36 hours.
But Mr. Trifonov told me he was planning to cut back his performing schedule, not just to have more leisure but also to resume his other love: composing. “I have several projects now which are on hold,” he said. Last month, he played his own piano concerto with the Kansas City Symphony. He is writing a double concerto for violin and piano, joined by strings, that he will play with the violinist Gidon Kremer and the Kremerata Baltica chamber orchestra. (Last season, he and Mr. Kremer gave a splendid duo recital at Carnegie Hall.)
During his practice session at Carnegie, Mr. Trifonov sometimes stopped to rotate his shoulders and loosen up. He usually takes more care to do stretching and yoga, but this afternoon he felt, he said, “hunched from excessive sitting” on his flight. He also finds swimming beneficial. “I actually practice in the swimming pool,” he said. “The resistance helps to release the upper arms.”
It was especially fascinating to watch him practice Schumann’s suite “Kreisleriana,” a teeming 30-minute masterpiece. Mr. Trifonov would repeat a rhapsodic flight — not to nail it technically, it seemed clear, but rather to highlight inner voices or bring out a milky coloring as harmonies mingled, what he described as paying “attention to resolutions,” “the way sounds connect.”
Playing through the “Russian Dance” movement from Stravinsky’s “Petrouchka,” which begins with a giddy riot of propulsive parallel chords for both hands, Mr. Trifonov kept repeating passages, even though they sounded flawless. He explained later that he was trying to keep these steely chords crisp and light, demonstrating by playing the passage on the tabletop at the cafe.
Those chords sure sounded crisp and light during the sold-out recital. Before the Stravinsky, he gave somberly compelling accounts of five of Shostakovich’s set of 24 Preludes and Fugues, a monumental work inspired by Bach. Mr. Trifonov said it took him a whole summer to learn these mercurial, complex pieces. Most pianists would say learning, and memorizing, Shostakovich’s enormous score in a single summer seems quick work.
He began the recital with Schumann’s tender “Scenes of Childhood” suite, played with delicacy and poetic refinement. At times his sound was almost too intimate for a hall the size of Carnegie, though the subtleties of the performance come though vividly on the medici.tv video, which was broadcast live; a recording is available on the site for three more months.
Trifonov the young conqueror of the keyboard revealed himself with a breathless account of Schumann’s joyous Toccata, a notorious finger-twister. The brilliant and poetic components of his artistry found ideal balance in his magnificent performance of “Kreisleriana.”
After two encores by the Russian composer Nikolai Medtner, Mr. Trifonov closed the keyboard’s lid to indicate that he had played his last piece. Many fans then went to a lounge area, where Mr. Trifonov signed copies of “Transcendental,” his stunning recent recording of Liszt’s complete études.
It took five grueling days to record this two-disc set. For a week afterward, he told me, “I couldn’t practice at all.”

It's hard to tell if Noonan and Marshall are trying to ape Abbott & Costello, Martin & Lewis, Curley & Larry, or some other comedy team, but whoever it was they were trying to imitate, they failed miserably. There's barely one weak laugh in this whole incredibly stupid picture. Noonan (who helped write the alleged "script") and Marshall have no chemistry whatsoever; Marshall seems to be trying for a Dean Martin type of devil-may-care coolness, but he doesn't come even remotely close. God knows what Noonan thought he was doing, but being funny sure wasn't it. He seems to think that flapping his arms and legs a lot and staring dumbly at everyone and everything is the height of screen comedy; maybe for him it is, but not for the audience. I remember seeing this in the theaters when it came out. It was on the bottom of a double bill with a three-year-old Jeff Chandler western ("Pillars of the Sky," which was pretty good) and a Three Stooges short ("Sappy Bullfighters", which wasn't), and about 20 minutes into this thing all the kids in the audience were throwing stuff at the screen; it was so staggeringly unfunny that it didn't even measure up to the worst of the Three Stooges shorts. I stayed around for the end of it (not that I wanted to, but my folks weren't due to pick me up until after the movie ended), and by the time this mess was over, I was the only one in the theater. I saw it again about 15 or so years ago on cable one night, and stuck around to watch it to see if it was as bad as I remembered. It was worse. The only thing it had going for it was Julie Newmar, who was as smokingly hot as ever; other than her, this thing has absolutely NOTHING to recommend it. The two of them also play Japanese soldiers, and the way they do it makes Jerry Lewis' infamous playing of Japanese characters as thick-lensed, buck-toothed, gibbering mental defectives look benign by comparison. Marshall went on to host "Hollywood Squares," and Noonan kept trying his hand at making movies, but most of them were almost as bad as this. Not quite, though, as I don't think ANYTHING could be quite as bad as this. A truly pathetic waste of film. Don't waste your time on it.

Mr. Thorndike had risen, and, in farewell, was holding out his hand to Andrews. He turned, and across the court-room the eyes of the financier and the stenographer met. At the sight of the great man, Spear flushed crimson, and then his look of despair slowly disappeared; and into his eyes there came incredulously hope and gratitude. He turned his head suddenly to the wall. Mr. Thorndike stood irresolute, and then sank back into his chair. The first man in the line was already at the railing, and the questions put to him by the judge were being repeated to him by the other assistant district attorney and a court attendant. His muttered answers were in turn repeated to the judge. "Says he's married, naturalized citizen, Lutheran Church, die- cutter by profession." The probation officer, her hands filled with papers, bustled forward and whispered. "Mrs. Austin says," continued the district attorney, "she's looked into this case, and asks to have the man turned over to her. He has a wife and three children; has supported them for five years." "Is the wife in court?" the judge said. A thin, washed-out, pretty woman stood up, and clasped her hands in front of her. "Has this man been a good husband to you, madam?" asked the young judge. The woman broke into vehement assurances. No man could have been a better husband. Would she take him back? Indeed she would take him back. She held out her hands as though she would physically drag her husband from the pillory. The judge bowed toward the probation officer, and she beckoned the prisoner to her.

Background: Murray Bookchin (January 14, 1921 - July 30, 2006) was an American social theorist, author, orator, historian, and political philosopher. A pioneer in the ecology movement, Bookchin formulated and developed the theory of social ecology within anarchist, libertarian socialist, and ecological thought. He was the author of two dozen books covering topics in politics, philosophy, history, urban affairs, and ecology. Among the most important were Our Synthetic Environment (1962), Post-Scarcity Anarchism (1971) and The Ecology of Freedom (1982).
Context: Bookchin was critical of class-centered analysis of Marxism and simplistic anti-state forms of libertarianism and liberalism and wished to present what he saw as a more complex view of societies. In The Ecology of Freedom: The Emergence and Dissolution of Hierarchy, he says that: My use of the word hierarchy in the subtitle of this work is meant to be provocative. There is a strong theoretical need to contrast hierarchy with the more widespread use of the words class and State; careless use of these terms can produce a dangerous simplification of social reality. To use the words hierarchy, class, and State interchangeably, as many social theorists do, is insidious and obscurantist. This practice, in the name of a "classless" or "libertarian" society, could easily conceal the existence of hierarchical relationships and a hierarchical sensibility, both of which-even in the absence of economic exploitation or political coercion-would serve to perpetuate unfreedom. Bookchin also points to an accumulation of hierarchical systems throughout history that has occurred up to contemporary societies which tends to determine the human collective and individual psyche: The objective history of the social structure becomes internalized as a subjective history of the psychic structure. Heinous as my view may be to modern Freudians, it is not the discipline of work but the discipline of rule that demands the repression of internal nature. This repression then extends outward to external nature as a mere object of rule and later of exploitation. This mentality permeates our individual psyches in a cumulative form up to the present day-not merely as capitalism but as the vast history of hierarchical society from its inception.
Question: what else did he have to say about general and psychological views?. Whats the answer?
|
The objective history of the social structure becomes internalized as a subjective history of the psychic structure.

Write some highlights for the following article:
The music was pounding, the lights pulsing. The concertgoers, who packed the club, were rocking with wild abandon to the sound of the band on stage. But the party quickly turned to horror as flames sparked by pyrotechnics swept up the walls and across the ceiling. This wasn't the Kiss nightclub in southern Brazil, where more than 230 souls lost their lives Sunday. It was The Station nightclub in West Warwick, Rhode Island, where 100 were killed during a show by '80s heavy metal band Great White. For survivors of that February night fire in 2003, the Sunday blaze in Santa Maria brought back memories of their own brush with death. Photos: Hundreds dead in Brazil nightclub fire. "I can't help but watch because I'm one of them," Gina Russo told CNN affiliate WPRI-TV. "It's just devastating that someone else has to experience it." Russo suffered serious burns in the fire, but the flames claimed the life of her fiance, Fred Crisostomi. A sad sense of deja vu. In the years since the blaze, Station fire survivors have felt the same sadness numerous times:. In December 2004, when 194 people were killed in a nightclub fire in Argentina's capital, Buenos Aires;. In December 2008, when fireworks triggered a fire and panic at a nightclub in Perm, Russia, killing 156 people;. And in January 2009, when a New Year's Eve blaze at a Bangkok club claimed 64 lives. Now, the reality of another such tragedy tears at the heart of Dave Kane, whose 18-year-old son Nicky was the youngest victim of the Station fire. "It hasn't stopped. Nobody has learned anything," he told CNN affiliate WJAR-TV. "What else do you need to get through to somebody? I don't know what that is." Sunday, The Station Fire Memorial Foundation offered its condolences and sympathies to those affected by the fire in Brazil. "The loss of life and injuries sustained are almost too heartbreaking to comprehend," a statement from the organization said. "One cannot help but notice the similarities between this tragedy and the Station nightclub fire that occurred nearly ten years ago." Read more: 3 arrested in deadly Brazil nightclub fire. Fire brings changes. The Station fire brought changes to Rhode Island law, requiring sprinklers at buildings that can house more than 150 people and limiting pyrotechnics. The nightclub had had no sprinklers, and the foam used to deaden sound in the venue was highly flammable. Michael and Jeffrey Derderian, the two brothers who owned the club, pleaded no contest to 100 counts each of involuntary manslaughter. A judge sentenced Michael Derderian to four years in prison, but spared Jeffrey Derderian jail time with a suspended sentence. He received 500 hours of community service. Changes were made nationally, too. The fire prompted many states to pass laws forbidding pyrotechnics in nightclubs, mandating sprinklers and the presence of at least one trained crowd manager. Read more: How to stay safe. Living in the aftermath. For Russo and Kane, the years have taught them that time -- lots of time -- can sometimes gradually heal the emotional wounds. It's "astounding pain, and your entire life gets completely mangled," said Kane, who wrote a book after the fire called "41 Signs of Hope." "Only through the grace of faith and hope can you mange to pull yourself out and live again to start anew, because the sun does come up the next day." Russo also penned a book after the tragedy: "From the Ashes, Surviving the Station Nightclub Fire." "You can heal from it," she said. "It just takes time and patience and to know you're not alone." John Barylick, an attorney who represented victims in wrongful death and personal injury cases arising from the fire, knows the pain well, too. "In coming days, Rhode Islanders will follow the unfolding news from Brazil with a sense of queasy deja vu -- the rising body counts, the victim identification process, the grieving families, and the assigning (and dodging) of blame," he said. "If only they had learned from our tragedy." "No concert is worth your life." Deadly blazes: Nightclub tragedies in recent history.

At the dawn of the Grand Lodge era, during the 1720s, James Anderson composed the first printed constitutions for Freemasons, the basis for most subsequent constitutions, which specifically excluded women from Freemasonry. As Freemasonry spread, continental masons began to include their ladies in Lodges of Adoption, which worked three degrees with the same names as the men's but different content. The French officially abandoned the experiment in the early 19th century. Later organisations with a similar aim emerged in the United States, but distinguished the names of the degrees from those of male masonry.
Is there an answer to this question (If it cannot be answered, say "unanswerable"): When were the first constitutions for Freemasonry printed?

A crash on the Hudson Bridge has just cleared, but another wreck adds to the damage on westbound I-94. This is traffic at a standstill as far back as Carmichael Road in Hudson. Big delays. ||||| Video (03:10) : Monalisa Perez tried to back out of the stunt several times, but ultimately shot and killed her boyfriend.
A pregnant Monalisa Perez cried and pleaded with her boyfriend several times to put a stop to a YouTube stunt, but the man urged her on, eventually dying after she fired a gun at him as he held an encyclopedia in front of his chest.
Norman County authorities released videos, evidence and transcripts Friday showing that Pedro Ruiz III, 22, methodically planned and directed Perez, who was 19 at the time, in the June 26, 2017, incident. Perez, 20, pleaded guilty in the case and was sentenced in March to 180 days in jail on one count of second-degree manslaughter. She also received a lifetime ban from owning firearms or profiting from telling the story of Ruiz’s death.
“I can’t do it babe,” Perez told Ruiz at one point in a transcript from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA). “I’m so scared.”
The videos show a heavily pregnant Perez appearing winded and tired at times as Ruiz recorded several versions of the same action.
Ruiz said in his videos that he would post stunt videos weekly and hoped to raise money to support his endeavor.
He said he wanted to be “crazier” than famous stunt stars like the men behind MTV’s hit series, “Jackass.”
Pedro Ruiz III
“I may fail, but if I fail I want to die trying,” Ruiz said. “We’re all going to die anyways. It’s just a matter of how and when.”
The couple bantered back and forth lightly in the videos, laughing and directing each other for what was supposed to be the first video on Ruiz’s YouTube channel. Perez already had her own channel, which included pranks and family-oriented videos.
“So, my channel is gonna be all the crazy stuff that Pedro does,” Ruiz said in one video. “…Who’s Pedro? I’m Pedro, the crazy Pedro, the Pedro that makes you say, ‘Damn it, boy.’ ”
Wearing a white V-neck T-shirt and white shorts, Ruiz promised antics that would balance out Perez’s family vlogs. The couple have a 3-year-old child and were expecting their second at the time.
Acting under Ruiz’s instructions, Perez presented the camera with a black-and-gold .50-caliber Desert Eagle pistol nestled on a red pillow.
Ruiz talked up the gun, noting that it was a limited release item and was adorned with tiger stripes. He showed off the size of the bullet, laying it across the face of his watch.
“If I’m gonna die I’m pretty much ready to go to heaven right now,” he said. “If I die, I’ll be ready for Jesus. He probably won’t accept me into the pearly gates because of how stupid this is.”
Perez laughed at Ruiz’s remarks.
“But I have confidence that my girlfriend will hit the book and not me,” Ruiz said. “Let’s do it.”
Perez groaned audibly.
Footage of the shooting itself was not released. Perez told BCA investigators that when she pulled the trigger, the gun’s barrel was about a foot away from a book Ruiz was holding about a foot or two from his chest.
A round passed through the hardcover encyclopedia and killed Ruiz outside their home in the northwestern Minnesota town of Halstad.
A transcript of a video the couple filmed provides this account, in part, of the events leading up to the shooting:
“This is the moment of truth, babe,” Ruiz said to Perez. “Gotta make sure I’m right where the book is. Ah, point the gun.”
Ruiz instructed Perez on how to hold the gun.
“Yep, yep,” he said. “Gotta make sure the GoPro has you. Come a little bit more, little more. Right there. Safety’s off. ‘Kay …”
Ruiz continued to instruct Perez on where to aim.
Perez cried, according to the transcript.
“Stop, babe,” Perez pleaded.
Ruiz continued with his instructions as Perez tried to back out.
“Babe, if I kill you what’s gonna happen to my life,” she said. “Like, no this isn’t OK.”
She pleaded another time for Ruiz to stop the stunt. Once she fired the gun, she immediately called 911, but Ruiz died at the scene.
Perez later told a BCA investigator that Ruiz had previously practiced shooting into a book, and that for a month she had resisted his plans to replicate the stunt. Authorities recovered the presumed practice book, also an encyclopedia, with a .50-caliber bullet still lodged halfway inside.
But the force of the round Perez fired at Ruiz threw him backward.
“Oh [expletive],” she said Ruiz exclaimed before succumbing to his injuries.
Perez’s sentence fell below state guidelines, but Norman County Attorney James Brue said at the time that he was satisfied that the sentence held her accountable. ||||| Local

– A Minnesota teen wept and begged her boyfriend to abandon a YouTube stunt, but he wouldn't cave—and a little while later he was dead. Authorities have released transcripts, evidence, and videos showing Pedro Ruiz, 22, as he directs girlfriend Monalisa Perez to fire a .50 caliber handgun through a hardcover encyclopedia he was holding last year outside their home in Halstad, the Star Tribune reports. Perez, now 20, got 180 days in jail for second-degree manslaughter and was banned from owning firearms for life. Now the details are out: "I can't do it babe," she tells Ruiz as the fatal moment approaches. "I'm so scared." But Ruiz says he wants his videos to make money and be "crazier" than the MTV series, Jackass. "The most trustworthy person that I trust in this world is my girlfriend, Monalisa," says Ruiz, per the AP. "So if I die, I'm pretty much ready to go to heaven right now." She begs, "Babe, I'm not doing this, I can't," adding, "Babe, if I kill you what's gonna happen to my life. Like no this isn't OK. I don't want to be responsible." Perez was visibly pregnant at the time with the couple's second child, but Ruiz was confident, having practiced the shot on another encyclopedia. "Come in a little bit more, little more," he urges as she keeps trying to dissuade him. When it happens, the bullet throws Perez back and he dies on the scene. (See a video excerpt here without the fatal shot, or see what Perez tweeted hours after Ruiz was found dead outside their home.)

Article: Foam mattresses should not be exposed to excessive water, so you need to take a cautious approach when spot cleaning stains. It is easy to get too aggressive when removing stains from a foam mattress, which can have the unintended effect of either pushing stains deeper into the mattress or getting the mattress too wet. If the mattress gets wet, it could easily get mildew. Never saturate the mattress with water or a cleaning agent. Instead of using a steam cleaner or a wet rag, you should use a spray bottle. You are less likely to get the mattress excessively wet if you mist the mattress with a small amount of water using a spray bottle. To get stains out of a foam mattress, you will need vinegar, baking soda or an enzymatic commercial cleaner. Another option is to create your own cleaning agent by mixing a few drops of dish soap into 3 tablespoons (24 g) of baking soda and 10 fluid ounces (300 mL) of hydrogen peroxide. Enzymatic cleaners work very well, but vinegar is a trusted option that is also inexpensive. You can use a mix of half white vinegar and half water in a spray bottle. You can sprinkle baking soda directly on the stain. Follow the directions on the bottle of enzymatic cleaner. After spraying a moderate amount of cleaning agent on the stain, let it sit for five minutes. After the cleaning agent has had a chance to break down the stain, use a clean rag to remove it. Use a dabbing, up and down motion, as opposed to a circular rubbing motion. If you rub the cleaning agent around too much, you could end up spreading the stain. Let the baking soda sit on the stain overnight. In the morning, vacuum up the baking soda. This process should help remove any odors associated with the stain. Since foam mattresses do not do well when they are wet, you need to get your mattress dry as soon as possible. If you have access to an outdoor area and it is good weather, you could let the mattress dry out in the sun. If the weather is not amenable, you could set up a fan in your room to let the mattress dry out.
What is a summary of what this article is about?

Exercise caution in your use of water and cleaning liquids. Choose a cleaning agent. Spray the stain. Remove as much of the stain as possible. Sprinkle baking soda on the stain. Dry out the mattress.

News article:
News4's Jim Vance explains how the 1975 disappearance of two young girls rocked a tight-knit community and changed things for years. (Published Tuesday, Feb. 11, 2014)
Police identified a person of interest in connection with the 1975 disappearance of two young girls from a Maryland shopping center, a mystery that has haunted the D.C. area for almost four decades.
The Lyon sisters -- Sheila, 12, and Katherine, 10 -- were on their way home from the Wheaton Plaza Shopping Center in March 1975 when they disappeared. A composite sketch was widely distributed and tips flowed in, but the Lyon sisters were never seen or heard from again.
Now, a cold case squad has identified 57-year-old Lloyd Lee Welch Jr., aka Michael Welch, as a person of interest in the case.
Retired Detective Recalls Frustrating Lyon Sisters Investigation
Almost 40 years after two Maryland sisters vanished, there could be a major break in the case. News4's Chris Gordon has reaction from one of the first detectives to work on the case. (Published Tuesday, Feb. 11, 2014)
Welch, a convicted sex offender in prison in Delaware since 1997 on a rape conviction, was noticed paying attention to the sisters the afternoon they vanished, investigators said.
Montgomery County police hope the public can help finally solve the case. At the moment they do not have enough evidence to charge Welch in the disappearance of the girls.
"Even though so much time has passed, we have not forgotten that those young girls deserve justice, and their family deserves closure," Montgomery County Police Chief Thomas Manger said. "We’re hoping one of you has information that will help us provide both."
Break in Decades-Old Disappearance of Lyon Sisters: PD
A person of interest has been identified in connection with the 1975 disappearance of two young girls from a Maryland shopping center, a mystery that has haunted the D.C. area for almost four decades. (Published Tuesday, Feb. 11, 2014)
Police hope the release of Welch's picture will jog someone's memory and help them find out what happened to the girls.
Originally from the D.C. area, Welch traveled extensively through the U.S. from the 1970s through the mid-1990s with a carnival company he worked for with his girlfriend Helen Craver, police said.

Welch's stepmother, Edna Welch, told News4 she recalls Welch and Craver hearing about a reward in the case and Welch saying he was going to try to collect it.
"Lloyd and Helen were sitting on my sofa when the news broke about the girls, and they were talking about a reward for information," Edna Welch said. "Lloyd thought he was going to get something in it, I reckon, and he called in and said he knew something, but I don't think he knew a darn thing."
Welch was charged with raping juveniles in Virginia and South Carolina. He was also arrested in a burglary not far from Wheaton Plaza. He was known to hitchhike throughout the D.C. area.
Possible Break in Lyon Sisters Cold Case
After nearly 40 years of unanswered questions - there could finally be some answers in a case that rocked the Washington region: two young girls who vanished while walking to the mall, never seen or heard from again. (Published Monday, Feb. 10, 2014)
The Lyon family released a statement thanking people for their interest and concern and asked that the media respect their privacy at this time.
Shaking Our Sense of Safety
The disappearance of the Lyon sisters dominated local Washington news when it happened, and in the years since the mystery has become among the region's most famous cold cases. It inspired Baltimore mystery novelist Laura Lippman's 2007 book, "What the Dead Know," and was the subject of countless unsolved-crimes shows.
Possible Break in Decades-Old Lyons Sisters Cold Case
Police have discovered new information that may lead to a possible break in the decades-old, cold-case of the Lyons sisters, who disappeared in Wheaton almost 40 years ago. (Published Monday, Feb. 10, 2014)
But what many people who grew up in suburban D.C. remember is how profoundly the disappearance shook their view of the safety of their community.
"It was just stunning. It could have been anybody's kids," said Charleen Merkel, a shopper at Westfield Wheaton who said she remembers the disappearance well.
"It brings back a lot of memories of being scared growing up," said another shopper, who did not give her name.
In an era when children frequently walked to school and elsewhere alone, parents started keeping their children inside.
The girls left their Kensington, Md., home March 25, 1975, to walk the half-mile or so to Wheaton Plaza, now known as Westfield Wheaton mall. They were on spring break, and wanted to get some pizza for lunch and see the Easter decorations. They had less than $4 with them.
A friend of the girls saw them outside the Orange Bowl restaurant with an older man who had a tape recorder and a briefcase, according to news and missing persons reports. A sketch of that man was made and distributed, but the man was never located.
The girls were later spotted on the road to home, but did not arrive by their 4 p.m. curfew. By 7 p.m. that night, police had been called.
A lengthy search continued but never turned up any concrete leads.
Retired Sgt. Harry Geehreng, one of the first detectives at Wheaton Plaza after the call went out, said police were swamped with calls and everyone in the bureau worked the case, but the leads all led nowhere.
At one point, the Center for Missing and Exploited Children produced age-progressed pictures of the girls; today, Sheila would be 51; Katherine would be 49.
A 'Hit-Home Case'
In interviews for the 30th anniversary of the disappearance, police spoke about the frustration of never being able to solve a case that struck such an emotional chord for the community and for themselves.
The girls' older brother, Jay, became a police officer.
"It's a hit-home case," Philip C. Raum, a longtime law enforcement officer in Montgomery County who headed the police's Major Crimes Unit for four years, told Montgomery County's Gazette newspaper in an article on the 30th anniversary of the disappearance.
Mystery novelist Lippman commented on the Lyon case in a online chat with readers on Goodreads.com. "The story ... happened when I was a teenager, not much older than the girls who disappeared (the Lyon sisters) and living in a similarly 'safe' suburb," Lippman wrote. "It resonated very deeply with me."
The girls' father was John Lyon, a popular radio personality on WMAL in Bethesda and performer.
"It's in that group of moments where the community just held its breath," radio personality Chris Core told the Gazette in 2005. He had just started working at WMAL with John Lyon when the girls disappeared.
"Partly because John was a well-known celebrity and partly because here are two innocent little girls going to the mall and disappear off the face of the earth, never to be heard from again."
Stay with News4 and NBCWashington for developments in this case. ||||| GAITHERSBURG, Maryland Maryland police on Tuesday named a 57-year-old former carnival ride operator as a person of interest in the case of two young sisters who disappeared while going to see an Easter exhibit at a shopping mall in 1975.
Police are looking for more information on Lloyd Lee Welch, who has been imprisoned since 1997 on child sex-related convictions. They described him at a press conference as a former drifter who worked in carnivals and landscaping in about a dozen states from the 1970s through the 1990s.
Montgomery County Police Chief Tom Manger said the department believes Welch was at the Wheaton Plaza mall, about 5 miles northeast of Bethesda, on March 25, 1975, the day that sisters Katherine and Sheila Lyon, aged 10 and 12, disappeared.
"Based on his criminal past, his convictions, we believe that there may be other cases in these other states, other locations where he was during that time that we may be able to connect him to," Manger told reporters.
Welch has been imprisoned in Delaware since 1997. Manger said that police had recently become interested in his possible involvement in the case, but declined to discuss specifics of what prompted their interest.
Police would not say if they have interviewed Welch.
The disappearance of the two girls, daughters of a local radio personality, set off extensive searches by police and the National Guard. The sisters were last seen by a witness talking to a man at the mall who had a tape recorder inside a briefcase.
"This case shocked our community in 1975 and has never been forgotten by the police department or anyone who followed the case 39 years ago," Manger said.
Police said Welch, who is originally from the Washington, D.C., area and used the aliases "Michael" and "Mike," was "observed paying attention" to the sisters at the mall on the day they disappeared. It is unclear whether Welch's carnival company, which often traveled to malls, had set up at Wheaton Plaza on this day, police said in a statement.
They said Welch had been convicted of raping young girls in Virginia, Delaware and South Carolina.
Investigators are seeking information from anyone who may have had contact with Welch during his travels through states including Maryland, Florida, California, South Carolina, Virginia and Iowa. They are also looking for information about his girlfriend, Helen Craver, an employee of the same carnival company who has since died, and security guards working on the day the girls disappeared.
Police released a composite sketch from March 1975, which shows a man with a mustache and long hair, described as being in his late teens or early 20's. It was drawn from a witness's description of "a man that was following and may have had contact with the Lyon sisters," Manger said.
In a statement released by police, the Lyon family asked for privacy.
"The fact that so many people still care about this case means a great deal to us," the statement read. "We are grateful for any information the public can provide to help bring this story to its conclusion."

The two young siblings, Sheila, 12, and Katherine, 10, vanished from a mall in suburban Maryland in 1975. Forty-two years later, a sex offender pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree felony murder in the case.
Authorities on Tuesday identified a sex offender incarcerated in Delaware as a “person of interest” in the 1975 disappearance of two Montgomery County girls.
Authorities on Tuesday identified a sex offender incarcerated in Delaware as a “person of interest” in the 1975 disappearance of two Montgomery County girls.
On a spring morning in 1975, Sheila Lyon, 12, and her sister Katherine, 10, walked to a shopping mall in Wheaton for lunch and some window shopping. Their brother saw them there, eating pizza.
But the girls never came home.
A massive search ensued. Police, tracking dogs, National Guard members, motorists on CB radios. Detectives chased one lead after another, but all were dead ends.
Now, nearly 40 years later, Montgomery County police may be close to finding out what happened to the sisters. On Tuesday, they announced that a 57-year-old convicted sex offender named Lloyd Lee Welch is a “person of interest” in the case and asked that anyone who knows him contact them.
Welch was a drifter from the District who walked along railroad tracks and hitchhiked to get around. For a time, he operated rides for a traveling carnival. And on March 25, 1975, police said, he visited the Wheaton Plaza shopping mall, where he seemed to pay special attention to the Lyon sisters.

“We need everyone who may know something to come forward,” Steve Vogt, special agent in charge of the FBI in Maryland, said Tuesday. “It might be enough to put the pieces of this puzzle together.”
Montgomery Police Chief J. Thomas Manger stressed that detectives don’t have evidence to file charges against Welch but are continuing to try to learn as much about him as they can.
“This case shocked our community in 1975 and has never been forgotten,” Manger said.
Longtime residents certainly feel that way. To them, the Lyon sisters are part of Montgomery’s history, their disappearance a seminal event that signaled that it was no longer safe for girls to walk alone — or that it never really had been. “It kind of traumatized the area,” said Steve Murray, who has a Facebook page named “Wheaton Plaza,” on which people post memories of the now renovated and renamed mall, sometimes still mourning the loss of the girls. “This was such a sad time and it changed the way a lot of us lived,” Sharon McDaniel, who lived in Kensington, wrote there Tuesday.
In a statement provided by police, the Lyon family asked for privacy and said they would be “grateful for any information the public can provide to help bring this story to its conclusion.”
“March 25th will mark 39 years since Kate and Sheila were taken from our family,” they said. “Throughout these years our hopes for a resolution of this mystery have been sustained by the support and efforts of countless members of law enforcement, the news media, and the community. The fact that so many people still care about this case means a great deal to us.”
Police knew about Welch early in the investigation, authorities said, but it’s not clear whether they ever suspected that he could be involved. Back then, he was 18 years old and was known to stay in homeless shelters and hotels. He had a serious girlfriend, police said, who also worked with the carnival. It would be decades before his convictions for sex crimes in other states.
Late last year, Montgomery detectives looking through the case files began to take a new look at Welch. “He jumped out at us in the past couple of months,” said Assistant Montgomery Police Chief Russ Hamill.
Old case file documents show that a young girl who was with the Lyon sisters that afternoon had described a man who followed the three of them that day. Police developed a sketch partly based on that description, they said. It resembles a mug shot taken of Welch a few years later — in 1977 — when he was arrested in a burglary case in Montgomery.
Welch went on to assault girls in South Carolina and Delaware, where he is in prison, police said. The details of the Delaware case are not clear, but court papers show that he pleaded guilty in 1998 to several sex offenses. Officials said he is due to be set free in 2027 but has asked for early release. The Board of Pardons has scheduled a hearing for July.
Welch’s niece, Debbie Roe, 38, of Dover, Del., said she is the only member of the family who is in regular contact with him. She said she has written letters on and off to him for the past 13 years during his incarceration. She described him as “sweet” and said he is excited when she visits him in prison.
She said that Welch has denied involvement in the disappearance of the Lyon girls but told her that he was at Wheaton Plaza that day.
“The only thing he said he did was walk around the mall,” Roe said. “I think they need to look elsewhere. He doesn’t know where the girls are.”
Darlene Hawn, 57, Welch’s half sister, said news of his possible involvement was a surprise. “I don’t know what to say,” said Hawn, also of Dover. “It’s just a shock.”
Family members said that Welch had a difficult childhood. They said his father was driving drunk one night and crashed a car, killing his wife. Welch was a passenger in the vehicle, relatives said. After that, Welch was put in foster care, but they added that he briefly returned to live with his father and stepmother at their home in Hyattsville when he was 11 or 12. They also said he had brushes with the law. “He never stayed home,” Hawn said. “He was always going places and getting into trouble.”
Dolores Askins of Silver Spring said her sister, Helen Craver, dated Welch for about 10 years starting in the 1970s. During that time, Askins said, the couple worked for a variety of carnivals, setting up rides and tending the grounds. They lived on the road and had no permanent home. Askins said that they had four children together but that authorities eventually removed them because the couple were unable to provide for them.
“Nobody was happy that she took up with Lloyd,” Askins said. “Everybody was happy when she left him simply because of what she had been through.”
Askins said that Craver eventually remarried but never got her children back. She said that Craver died several years ago.
Police said that Welch — who also went by the name Michael Lee Welch — has traveled from state to state, and they released a timeline of places he has lived in or visited. During a 20-year stretch, he has been in at least six states — from Sioux City, Iowa, to Los Angeles to Union County, S.C. He also has worked as a landscaper.
Police said detectives are trying to find security guards who worked at Wheaton Plaza in 1975 and might have had some contact with Welch, particularly one who held the rank of captain. They want to hear from anyone who knows him or knew his girlfriend.
Police said they still don’t know what happened to the Lyon sisters but will keep looking for answers.
“The family deserves justice,” Manger said.

– Sheila Lyon, 12, and her sister Katherine, 10, went to see an Easter exhibit at a Maryland shopping mall on March 25, 1975, and were never seen again. Some 39 years later, police yesterday named a person of interest in the case, Reuters reports. Lloyd Lee Welch, now 57 and imprisoned in Delaware since 1997 on child sex-related convictions, was at the time a carnival ride operator and drifter. Police believe he was at the Wheaton Plaza mall, near Bethesda, the day the sisters disappeared, and say he was "observed paying attention" to the girls and may have been following them. They were last seen walking home. Police have given no details on how they connected Welch to this case, though the Washington Post reports that when going through old case files last year, a Montgomery County police official says "he jumped out at us." Police say they don't have enough evidence for an arrest and are asking anyone who has had contact with Welch or his late girlfriend, Helen Craver, to come forward. Welch's stepmother tells NBC Washington she remembers Welch watching the news about the disappearance on TV: "They were talking about a reward for information," she says. "Lloyd thought he was going to get something in it, I reckon, and he called in and said he knew something, but I don't think he knew a darn thing."

Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- As the U.S. military pursues charges against the Army sergeant accused of killing Afghan civilians in what commanders say was a freelance rampage, a new question has arisen: Who was victim No. 17? Staff Sgt. Robert Bales has been charged with 17 counts of murder "with premeditation" in the March 11 slayings in the Panjwai district of Afghanistan's Kandahar Province. But Afghan authorities have said there were 16 people killed in the Panjwai killings. Sunday, two Afghan provincial council members said the United States has paid the victims' families a total of $860,000 -- $10,000 for each of the six wounded survivors, and $50,000 apiece for the 16 dead.
