Visually, the Surfvivor mark consists of the term "Surfvivor" in block or cursive writing, often accompanied by a stylized graphic, such as a sun or a surfer. Deptula has been using this mark for several years and has advertised his wares on local television and radio shows, on his website, and at local trade shows. Surfvivor goods are primarily sold to Hawaiian consumers through the local university, a chain of drugstores, military exchanges, and Hawaiian branches of major retailers. Deptula would like to expand Surfvivor's out-of-state presence, but has not made any firm plans to do so.

2. Defendants-Appellees and the Survivor Mark
7
Several years after Deptula coined the "Surfvivor" name, the Defendants-Appellees began broadcasting a reality television show, Survivor, involving a castthat must survive in extreme outdoor conditions. The show has been a viewer favorite for several years.
8
Survivor's producers created a special Survivor logo for advertising and marketing purposes. As with the Surfvivor mark, the Survivor mark is emblazoned on a wide range of consumer merchandise, including t-shirts, shorts, and hats. The Survivor mark consists of the word "Survivor" in block script, and is often accompanied by the words "outwit[,] out-play[, and] outlast," or is superimposed on a stylized graphic suggesting the location of a particular series.

Survivor's producers acknowledge awareness of Deptula's mark.
3. Evidence of Actual Confusion
10
After Survivor aired, Deptula encountered a few people who wondered whether his business was sponsored by Survivor. One retailer and one customer mistook Survivor sunscreen for Deptula's product, and one trade show attendee

The Husky is like the blood hound of the pack. This is the vehicle that will travel out in front of the rest, and look for the hidden dangers. The husky is designed to take an explosion. The front and rear will just fall apart; while the middle, where the single occupant is, will be safe.
The Husky is responsible for saving an indiscriminate number of lives on its mission up and down the supply routes in hostile areas, because of its ability to find threats.
The Husky is an effective and reliable system that has located thousands of IEDs since it has been deployed by the U.S. Army and partners.Conservation Committee Review of the Biology, Status, and Management of Cape Sable Seaside Sparrows: Final Report at 1098 (2000) (AR 317) (hereinafter "Walters 2000").

Washington are recreating a global chessboard and the specific locations of the pieces are not as important as the rivalry itself.
"The US resents Russia's presence in Syria, where it maintains its Tartus naval base, so this is an indirect response to that," he said.
'US is just one country, it cannot dictate'
While Russia has not denied that its submarines have returned to a Soviet level of patrol intensity in the North Atlantic, the analysts disagree with the defensive posture the new US fleet commander, Vice Admiral Woody Lewis, presented when he launched the American fleet last week.
During the ceremony in Norfolk, Virginia, Lewis spoke of "bad actors" seeking to "rewrite the world order" and "threaten the very birthright freedoms that we hold sacred."

"The US itself broke the worldorder that formed after World War II, where spheres of influence were regionally designated. At least during the Warsaw Pact vs. NATO years, there was an equilibrium to the world," responded Leonkov.
"Since the fall of the Soviet Union, the US has redrawn the map at will, supporting its might with its bases, spread worldwide. So it is a little disingenuous of US officials to be talking of others breaking the rules."
"International law is just toilet paper to the US. When they need it, they will use it (to justify their actions), but when not, they flush it down and forget about it," says Litovkin.

We need not decide, however, whether a court faced with the circumstances of this case in 1789, the year the Alien Tort Statute was enacted, would have exercised jurisdiction over a foreign sovereign. In construing the Alien Tort Statute, "courts must interpret international law not as it was in 1789, but as it has evolved and exists among the nations of the world today." Filartiga, 630 F.2d at 881. The Alien Tort Statute is no more than a jurisdictional grant based on international law. The evolving standards of international law govern who is within the statute's jurisdictional grant as clearly as they govern whatof Human Rights in International Law, 82 Colum.L.Rev. 1110, 1127-29 (1982), would make little sense, even in theory, if sovereign states were not covered by the prohibition. Indeed, the sovereign immunity defense raised by Nazi war criminals at the Nuremberg trials was rejected by the international tribunal. International Military Tribunal (Nuremberg), Judgment and Sentences (1946), reprinted in 41 Am.J.Int'l L. 172, 221 (1947). ("The principle of international law, which under certain circumstances, protects the representatives of a state, cannot be applied to acts which are condemned as criminal by international law."). Since the sinking of a neutral vessel on the high seas without justification violates a substantive principle of international law, no matter who does the sinking, there is no immunity under international law

the FSIA, to place immunity decisions firmly in the courts, and to codify procedures for suits against sovereigns, do not suggest an intent to provide immunity for violations of international law outside of the commercial context. Prior to the FSIA, a foreign sovereign would frequently obtain immunity by seeking the intervention of the United States State Department. This left the State Department in an awkward position and parties dealing with foreign governments in an uncertain one. House Report at 6607. At the same time, the United States found that "[i]n virtually every country ... sovereign immunity is a question of international law to be determined by the courts." Id. at 6608.

We need not decide that question in this case, however, since the actions alleged here are sufficiently related to the United States for Argentina to have been on notice that it might be sued here. Argentina was specifically notified by the United States that HERCULES would be passing through the South Atlantic on neutral business, clearly revealing to Argentina a United States interest in the ship and its safety. Furthermore, HERCULES was plying the United States domestic trade, transporting oil from one part of the United States to another part of the United States pursuant to a contract that called for payment in the United States. Of course, Argentina was also aware of

Oncocytic carcinoma, also referred to as malignant oncocytoma or oncocytic adenocarcinoma, is an extremely rare malignant tumor of the head and neck. Approximately 60 cases of oncocytic carcinoma have been reported to date, and most oncocytic carcinoma lesions involve the salivary glands \[[@B1]\]. In the present paper, we discuss a case of nasolacrimal duct obstruction caused by oncocytic carcinoma and management of this unusual malignancy in the nasolacrimal duct.
Case Report
===========
A 64-year-old man was referred to the ophthalmology department of Pusan National University Hospital for evaluation of tearing, nasal obstruction, and trifling epistaxis of the left side that had arisen 12 months earlier. His medical history was free of allergies, chronic sinusitis, and rhinologic pathologies. Ophthalmologic examination confirmed mild swelling in the left medial canthal area and obstruction inprotesting their wrongful
actions, as well as copies of the introduction to a book he was writing about their
tortious activities. He also claimed that he forwarded to Defendants copies of the
communications he received from the clerk’s office about the lack of any filings
in case number 97mc3, and he “put them on notice that the judgment document
was never recorded with the Clerk of the Court,” id. at 32. He did not otherwise
describe in the Amended Complaint the content of the communications he sent to
Defendants.

lowest per capita income in the United States. This may be because American Indians have higher rates of mortality across the lifespan than other racial/ethnic groups ([@R22]--[@R24]). Additionally, the economic and social conditions on reservations may contribute to a higher mortality rate and a less favorable temporal mortality rate trajectory for American Indians living on reservations compared with those living in other areas of the country.
Historically disenfranchised places in the Mississippi Delta, where there were high concentrations of slavery followed by the structural inequities of sharecropping and segregation ([@R25]), and in Appalachia, where poverty and environmental and occupational injustice is entrenched ([@R26]), had a disproportionate number of trajectory 8 counties. One study found similar spatial clustering of poor physical and mental health and food insecurity in these areas([@R27]). Counties in trajectory 8 that were not part of geographic clusters may have unique factors that explain their poor mortality rates and rate trajectories that warrant further exploration. The size of the rate gap between trajectory 8 counties and the other trajectory groupings is cause for concern, further study, and action.
Counties in the best trajectory group, trajectory 1, had generally higher socioeconomic conditions than other parts of the country, but not uniformly so. Marin County, California; Los Alamos, New Mexico; Montgomery County, Maryland; and Fairfax County, Virginia, ranked in the top 20 counties in the nation by median income. No other county in the top 25 median-income counties for the nation was found in this best outcome group, so high socioeconomic status may not be enough to

Sir Paul, 70, has enjoyed a long and successful music career after rising to fame with The Beatles.
He and bandmate John Lennon penned such hits as Yesterday, Hey Jude and A Hard Day's Night, before the Beatles split up in 1970. McCartney went on to forge a solo career.Anatomy of Alleged BTK Killer's Capture
It was not one single clue that finally led police to Dennis Rader, the alleged BTK killer. (The name, chosen by the killer, stands for "Bind, Torture, Kill.")
"He was caught with good old-fashioned police work coupled with application of forensic techniques," said investigative consultant Vernon Geberth.
Rader has confessed to at least eight of the 10 murders that police say he committed between 1974 and 1991.
He first came under suspicion in 1974, when BTK sent death fantasy letters and poetry to the media. They were copied on a machine at Wichita State University, which yielded a pool of student suspects, including Rader. But the killings and the communication suddenly stopped.
Last March, after 25 years, BTK left new evidence -- again at Wichita State University.

As a result, Rader became a suspect again.
"Had he not re-emerged," said Geberth, "the police wouldn't have had that very important forensic evidence to link eventually to the BTK killer. Mr. Rader was below the radar."
Two weeks ago, BTK dropped off a package at Kansas television station KAKE, which included a floppy disk linked to a computer at Rader's church.
"They asked me if I had a list of people who had access to our computer and I provided a list of people for them," said the Rev. Michael Clark of Christ Lutheran Church. "Yes, [Rader] was [on that list]."
Many local residents are stunned by how much access Rader had to the community. He worked installing burglar alarms when most of the killings occurred. Investigators long suspected BTK wascity worker, a church official and Cub Scout leader. He hardly fits the stereotypical profile of an antisocial serial killer.
"In reality, most serial killers look like the man next door," said former FBI behavioral scientist Peter Smerick. "They do not look like Charles Manson."
According to criminologists, at any given time there are at least 25 to 100 active serial killers in the United States. The FBI is currently assisting in 16 such cases.
Law enforcement officials now say they will use this case to reassess their investigations of unsolved serial killings around the country.

The Capital Region euthanizes pets at twice the rate for the northeastern United States, an animal rights organization says in a report calling for a regional effort to change the practice.
Others argue those numbers are skewed, and the region is already taking steps to expand neutering and spaying services to prevent unwanted kittens and puppies.
The Humane Society of the Capital Region conducted a study of 11 counties including Albany, Schenectady, Rensselaer and Saratoga. It found that the region puts animals to death at a greater rate per person than other areas of the state. The four shelters euthanize pets at a rate of 3.4 animals per 1,000 people, as compared to 1.3 per 1,000 for the northeastern United States.
More than 11,000 animals were euthanized between 2009 and 2011at the four major animal shelters in the region, the report said. At the same time, nonprofit organizations dedicated to the animals raised more than $25 million.
"We were shocked by the number of animals euthanized," said Kathlene Thiel, president of the organization. "We were like 'Wow!' We knew it was happening. We just didn't know how many."
The Capital Region group formed in 2009 and said its mission was to put together comprehensive data on animal welfare in the region.
But Brad Shear, president of the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society, said those numbers may be skewed. His organization — which is not connected with Thiel's — runs a shelter in Menands and provides euthanasia, neutering and spaying services.
Eighty-five percent of the animals brought to his organization are adopted out, he

"Kippis" is indeed a good translation for "cheers", being very informal. "Maljanne" translates approximately as "A toast to you [Sir]", the polite form of address being implied by the suffix "nne". One might also say " n malja!", meaning "A toast to !". To say that these forms are never used in Finland is simply incorrect; their place is at a formal dinner party, for example. "Pohjanmaan kautta" might possibly be derived from a historical event: literally translated it means "By way of Ostrobothnia", and Ostrobothnia is precisely the way by which Finnish Jäger troops of the Royal Prussian 27th Jäger Battalion came back from training in Germany, to contribute to the victory of the "whites" in the Finnish Civil War.

Still, use of the devices is not uncontentious.

Across the world, drones are also typically banned around military bases and airport.
Russia too has been looking to tighten use of the vehicles.

some friends who were holding people at a Red Roof Inn off of I-45. When they arrived, Spezzia got out of the car and Garza heard him talking about the illegal immigrants holed up at the hotel. At the time, Spezzia didn't explain to Garza why the immigrants were there or what was really going on.
Several weeks later, Spezzia asked Garza to go on a run down south with him.
"He just asked me if I wanted to go," Garza testified. "I said, yes, I would go with him ... [He said] we were just going to go and pick up these people."
These people, of course, turned out to be smuggled illegal immigrants.
With Spezzia behind the wheel of a rented SUV, the two set out down the highway towarda ranch south of San Benito. During the six-hour drive, Garza peppered Spezzia with questions, wanting to know exactly how everything worked.
Spezzia told Garza that a coyote, also called a runner, brought the illegal immigrants across the border, eight at a time on average. The coyote would then call Spezzia and he would pick them up at a specified location. Garza said that Spezzia pointed out different spots where he'd picked up immigrants in the past.
_____________________
Spezzia always drove rental cars, usually Expeditions but sometimes a Hummer or a Cadillac Escalade. He would typically go at night, and preferred it when it rained, telling Garza police usually wouldn't stop him in a downpour.
Most immigrants didn't pay until they were safe in Houston. Spezzia and his partners kept the immigrants

by Dutch firm UNStudio and Australia's Cox Architecture. Its design features geometric glass facades and a "spine" of balconies, terraces and gardens filled with trees and foliage.
"Melbourne has beautiful gardens and beautiful boulevards," said Cox Architecture's principal director, Philip Rowe, in a phone interview. "The landscape is key to (living in the city) so we created a vertical boulevard ... that creates open space, neighborhood zones, pocket parks and public activity."

The larger of the two towers will stand more than 30 meters above Australia's current tallest building, the Gold Coast's 322 meter (1,058 foot) Q1 skyscraper.
"Green Spine" joins a growing number of foliage-covered developments proposed or completed in recent years, including architect Stefano Boeri's "VerticalForest" in Milan and the forthcoming "Sky Forest" in Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City.
"I think (architecture is) evolving from the late 20th and 21st century in that we're becoming more aware of the environment -- at a sustainable level but also at a human level," said Rowe. "A connection to landscape and greenery is a fundamental human 'want'."

He added that a "move away from reflective glass towers -- toward something more human and more connected to the environment -- may well be a trend that's happening."
"But it's through necessity that we want to engage more with it," Rowe said.
The winning proposal was chosen by a seven-member jury as part of a

Beulah International's executive director, Adelene Teh, said in a statement the new development will serve as a "visual beacon" for the downtown Melbourne neighborhood.
"(It will) truly transform the public realm by eroding the hard edges that (are) prevalent in Southbank," she added.Once again Iranians have flooded their country’s streets to participate in widespread protests sparked by gasoline price hikes, only to be met by a brutal crackdown. But clearly the unrest was about more than the price of gas, reflecting deeper frustration and anger over the general economic malaise caused by a corrupt, repressive government and punishing U.S. sanctions.
During the protests, American officials, including Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo, took to Twitter to express solidarity with the Iranian protesters, even tweeting in Persian and encouraging the reporting of human rights abuses by government officials engaging in violent crackdowns.
Yet, given current U.S. policies, such expressions of sympathy for the Iranian people may be difficult to take seriously. Beyond rhetorical support, there are a number of concrete steps the United

the dog's rear and underside.
"The axe flew out of my hand... So I laid down on top of my dog to protect him and started kicking at the other wolf,'' Moore said. "I know no one in their right mind would do such a thing. But I was running on adrenaline. I wasn't thinking. I just acted to save my dog."
The kicking worked and the second wolf let go. Both wolves moved about 30 yards away and then stopped and watched as Moore set about trying to stop the dog's bleeding.
"I used part of my shirt and slowed the bleeding... He got so he could walk. He was pretty shook-up,'' Moore said of his dog. "So was I."
The 3-year-old lab, named Rad Venom, is average size and weighsabout 70 pounds. He said both wolves were much larger "more the size of a big German shepherd."
Veterinarians cleaned up five puncture wounds and gave the dog antibiotics and painkillers. The wounds are healing and the dog appears to be recovering quickly and has regained its vigor.
The May 15 attack occurred just 200 yards from Moore's parked truck along Observation Road and only 300 yards from the WDIO television studios, Moore said. That's a wooded but not remote area of the city - certainly not the outskirts of town. An avid bowhunter who takes part in the city's annual bow hunt each fall, Moore knows the area around Observation Road like it's his back yard, which it basically is.
Moore told his story because he thinks the public should

FACTS AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
¶2 Todorovic worked as a housekeeper at a hotel.1 While
working one afternoon she noticed redness and swelling in her right hand.
A coworker recounted that Todorovic told her that "probably something
[had bitten] her when she was cleaning," but Todorovic later testified that
at the time, she did not feel pain and had not felt a bug bite. When her hand
was worse the next morning, Todorovic reported her injury to a supervisor
and completed an injury report. The employer sent her to a medical clinic.
¶3 At the clinic a physician assistant examined Todorovic and
noted "one site of bite"Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers got their wish: a rematch with the San Francisco 49ers, a team Green Bay has owned in the postseason.
After the 49ers defeated the Packers, 30-22, at Lambeau Field in the 2012 season opener, Rodgers aspired for a second chance in the postseason against his home-state team.
"It's one game," Rodgers told reporters at the time. "This is a team that was in the NFC Championship last season. Hopefully, we'll see them down the road in the playoffs."
That time has come.
When No. 2-seeded San Francisco hosts No. 3-seeded Green Bay in a NFC Divisional playoff game Saturday evening, it will mark the sixth postseason meeting between the franchises.
The teams' meeting just over four months ago was a physical game in which the 49ers'

opinion of him jumped from 29 percent to 42 percent.
For Romney, Florida voters viewing him favorably dropped from 73 percent to 64 percent, and his unfavorable total rose from 14 percent to 25 percent.
One reason for the personal attacks, of course, is that the candidates and their allies believe they work. The deluge of attacks on Gingrich wiped out the lead he held briefly in Florida immediately after his Jan. 21 victory in South Carolina.
Sandy Drewnowski, a Republican voter who showed up to hear McCain, admitted that the broadsides against Gingrich pushed her toward Romney. "I was leaning a little to one candidate (Gingrich), but now I may be going the other way," she said. "Just some of the stuff that was pointed out bothered me."
Rough and tumblepolitics isn't new, of course.
The 19th century was filled with nasty campaign attacks. "Politics ain't bean bag," Finley Peter Dunne wrote in 1895, a still oft-cited quote.
Reagan ran into it in his first primary for governor of California in 1966, when one GOP opponent suggested that he was unstable, calling him "temperamental and emotionally upset." Gaylord Parkinson, the chairman of the California Republican Party at the time, first suggested the 11th Commandment, and Reagan became a disciple.
Well, sort of.
When he challenged President Gerald Ford for the Republican nomination in 1976, Reagan broke his own commandment after losing a string of primaries. Reagan went on the attack — in Florida, coincidentally. He said he didn't trust Ford's leadership, that he lacked vision.
Reagan did not win that primary, or the

country was overrun by disease and the government that was largely uncorrupt wanted to help its people stay healthy and strong, and fix those suffering from debilitating illness and death.
From the year 1900 to 1940 the United States government began a program to sanitize drinking water and promote daily bathing for all areas of the country not yet exposed to this notion. Having just come out of the 1800s, such behavior was not yet a standard practice, and in many cases families shared the bath water for all cleansing. This mere addition of bathing regularly reduced the overall exposure to illness and disease over 97% countrywide, and the areas that remained were on the outskirts of communities where the sanitation was still to be invoked.
However, the pharmaceutical companiesplaintiff, Debra Brown ("Brown"), was operating a 2001 Honda CRV on Washington Avenue when a vehicle operated by an unknown driver allegedly struck the passenger side of her vehicle as she slowed to turn into a gas station. After checking on her nine-year old son who was in the back seat, Brown got out of her vehicle and approached the driver of the other car. The driver, whose vehicle was "stuck" to the plaintiff's vehicle, allegedly spoke to her and laughed about the accident. The driver then sped off, but not before the plaintiff and an eyewitness, Keyanka Bell, each independently wrote down the vehicle's license plate number, ETT366. The plaintiff also collected parts of the other vehicle that allegedly broke off as a result of the impact.

contacted a friend who worked at the St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office and was told the license plate number was for a 1996 Toyota Tercel registered to Viola Browder ("Browder"). Later that night, the plaintiff went to a New Orleans Police Department ("NOPD") station to submit a statement. In that statement, she described the color of the vehicle that struck her as black or navy blue. She also gave them the license plate number and the name of the vehicle's owner. However, Brown did not tell the police that she had collected debris at the scene.
Browder, the registered owner of the vehicle that allegedly struck the plaintiff, had died in November 1998. After her death, the ownership of the vehicle passed to her daughter, Diedre Johnson ("Johnson"). However,in the possession of Johnson; her sister, Debbie Browder, had the third set. However, Johnson testified that after her mother's death, she was the sole driver of the vehicle. She also testified that her sister could not have driven the car, although she did not know who had access to the set of keys in her sister's possession.
Johnson testified that on the night in question, she was home "perming" her hair and did not drive the car. It was parked on the side of her house. The vehicle was never missing or reported as stolen. She also testified that the license plate had never been taken from the car. In the time she has possessed the vehicle, it was never taken to a body shop for repairs.

security guard. He never drove her car.
Johnson testified that she did not have the car repaired after the date of the alleged accident. She stated that she was pregnant at the time and did not have money to spend on car repairs or anything else of that nature.
The claim against Johnson is that of negligent entrustment. In Louisiana, owners of motor vehicles are ordinarily not personally liable for damages, which occur while another is operating the vehicle. Exceptions to this rule occur only when the driver is on a mission for the owner of the vehicle, when the driver is an agent or employee of the owner, or when the owner is himself or herself negligent in entrusting the vehicle to an incompetent driver. Ruthardt v. Tennant, 252(La.12/8/95), 664 So.2d 398, compels a finding in her favor. In that case, a New Orleans Aviation Board ("NOAB") vehicle struck the plaintiff's vehicle. The plaintiff was able to later identify the driver of the NOAB vehicle, a NOAB employee. The Court stated:
Moreover, Mr. Manzella identified Ramon Reece, an NOAB employee as the driver of the truck, an identification which was apparently accepted by the trial judge. Mr. Reece testified that at times he was allowed to drive the truck off the airport grounds. The identification of Mr. Reece as the driver is supported by the fact that it was evident that the driver was well acquainted with other maintenance division Board employees, since he was permitted to drive off the premises through a gate manned by a

spanning 47 degrees of latitude (equal to half the distance from the equator to the North Pole), 110 degrees of longitude (nine time zones) and elevations from sea level to timberline. It also holds the amazing title of being the largest living organism! The reason is that aspens grow in stands (called clones) and reproduce primarily by sending up sprouts from their roots. This means that virtually all the trees in a clone are connected. One clone in Utah was observed to have 47,000 stems. It's estimated that this interlinked organism weighs 6,000 tons. While individual aspen trees live a vigorous 100-150 years, a clone in Minnesota has been estimated to be 8,000 years old, making it one of the oldest living things on earth!Adams agreed that all disputes arising under the contract would be resolved by the exclusive jurisdiction of the Grand Traverse Band Tribal Court (hereinafter, the "Tribal Court"). In December of 1988, Adams was suspended from his employment. The suspension was based upon allegations of mismanagement and negligence. On March 28, 1989, Adams filed a civil complaint in the Tribal Court against the EDA and against Joseph Raphael and John Petoskey, in their respective capacities as general manager of gaming operations and manager of the EDA. The Complaint sets forth breach of contract, suspension without good cause, breach of good faith and fair dealing, intentional interference with contractual relations and defamation as grounds for relief.

ST. PAUL - A St. Paul man is accused of giving a concussion to a nationally known comedian last month after punching him in the face at a bar on University Avenue, authorities say.
Anthony Charles Deberry, 35, then took off with the comedian's wallet, which contained about $700 as well as Josh Blue's credit cards and driver's license, according to the criminal complaint filed against Deberry on Thursday, Aug. 31, in Ramsey County District Court.
Deberry faces one count of first-degree aggravated robbery in the alleged assault.
Blue, a St. Paul native, was in town for a gig at the Joke Joint Comedy Club when he and some acquaintances stopped in at Hot Rods Bar & Grill on University Avenue around 9 p.m. July 17.
Two hours later, while Blue wasin the restroom, Deberry approached him, punched him twice in the face with a closed fist, and fled with his wallet, charges say.
A bar employee told police that Deberry, a regular at the establishment, was the assailant.
A woman walking her dog in the area the next day found Blue's wallet with his cash missing, according to the complaint.
Police arrested Deberry this week.
In an interview with officers, he admitted to punching Blue but said he did so only once and that he stole $79 in cash that he found in the comedian's pocket, the complaint said.
He denied taking his wallet and said Blue provoked the assault by "disrespect(ing)" him, charges say.
Blue went to the emergency room after the incident, where he was treated for a bump above his left

After the trial, the Court of Federal Claims held, inter alia, that Assistant Chief Patrol Agents ("Assistant Chiefs") at the United States Border Patrol Academy ("Academy"), a classification including the appellants, who were represented by designated plaintiff Paul Beeson ("Beeson"), were exempt from Fair Labor Standards Act overtime provisions. Adams v. United States, 44 Fed.Cl. 772, 785 (1999). The appellants and Beeson subsequently moved for a new trial, arguing prejudice because Beeson did not provide live testimony at the trial. Beeson later withdrew his claim, leaving only the three appellants in this case. The motion for a new trial was granted and the unsuccessful plaintiffs (including appellants and others) were severed from Adams so thatAssistant Chiefs and determined that their duties were within the realm of "executive" employees under the relevant OPM regulation. Specifically, the Court found that the three Assistant Chief appellants together supervise the five departments at the Academy on a rotating basis. Each department has a Training Operations Supervisor that reports directly to one of the Assistant Chiefs. The Academy also employs some fifty Course Development Instructors that report directly to a Training Operations Supervisor, and indirectly to an Assistant Chief. Each Assistant Chief "plays a substantial role in the development of Academy curriculum and maintenance of its facilities. He formulates and executes management programs or policies, such as revising courses and recommending disciplinary action for subordinates...." Bates, 51 Fed.Cl. at 463.

Patna, Nov 10: Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah today came in the line of fire over the Bihar poll debacle with party MP Bhola Singh accusing them of injecting communalism in a campaign that, he said, should have been about the state's development.
Flaying Modi for his use of "indecorous laguage", the veteran party leader said he came in RJD supremo Lalu Prasad's trap and "fell" to his standards while Chief Minister Nitish Kumar remained dignified, attracting voters from across communities.

at all relevant times, the chief executive officer of DCA. Defendant Morris Sherman is a citizen of New York and was, at all pertinent times, counsel to DCA.[1] The remaining individual defendants, Pedro Diaz, Irving Fishman, Edward Lempka and Berta Dee Stern, were alleged to have been members of DCA's board of directors at all times pertinent hereto.[2]
Up to and during 1969, Henry and Marianne Mayer, along with others, owned all of the outstanding stock in three New Jersey corporations, namely, the Mayer Construction Co., Barnegat Light Development Co. and Coast Realty Co. Henry Mayer was the major stockholder in each of these companies and was president of Mayer Construction Co. from 1960 to 1969. On September 5, 1969, an "Agreement and Plan of Reorganization" (hereinafter referred toas "Agreement"), Exhibit D-2, was entered into by the parties. Pursuant to the Agreement, DCA was to acquire all the outstanding stock of the Mayer Corporationan entity into which the three above mentioned corporations had been consolidated. The Agreement was the culmination of a series of negotiations which had their inception in the spring of 1969. The Agreement is also the focal point of the instant controversy.
In their complaint, plaintiffs allege that actions taken by the defendants in connection with DCA's claim for certain tax deductions constitute a breach of contract and various torts. The individual liability of defendants Alvin Sherman and Morris Sherman is predicated upon theories of tortious interference with the contractual relations between plaintiffs and DCA and the intentional infliction of emotional distress upon the

The opinion which follows constitutes this court's findings and conclusions pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 52(a).
I. Findings of Fact
A. The 1969 Agreement.
As mentioned above, on September 5, 1969, an "Agreement and Plan of Reorganization" was entered into between the parties. Pursuant to the Agreement, DCA acquired all the outstanding stock of the Mayer Corporation. The Agreement was the culmination of a series of negotiations which had their inception in the spring of 1969. At that time, Henry Mayer had placed advertisements in the Wall Street Journal soliciting potential purchasers of the Mayers' corporations. DCA's reply was one of the approximately twelve responses received by Mayer in which Mayer expressed an interest. Tr. 183.
As a result of Mayer's response to the DCA inquiry, Mayer met with various DCA personnel, including DCA'sby cover letter dated May 18, 1970, an executed copy of the voting agreement (hereinafter referred to as "April 1970 Voting Agreement"), Exhibit D-5, to Backman.
Mayer was placed on the DCA board of directors in 1970. Furthermore, the April 1970 Voting Agreement was disclosed in DCA proxy statements through April 1974.
C. The Delaware Litigation, Settlement Agreement and Releases.
In April 1973, plaintiffs' Additional Shares were released from escrow pursuant to the Agreement. See DT-4, para. 1, at 1. In early 1974, however, serious disputes arose between the parties. On March 28, 1974, Mayer was suspended from DCA's board of directors for alleged mismanagement of the affairs of the Mayer Corporation. Tr. 202.[14] He was also informed that the April 1970 Voting Agreement would not be honored. At this time,

People moved to dismiss the appeal on grounds that Ventura was "unavailable to obey [the court's] mandate." The Appellate Division granted the motion to dismiss. A Judge of this Court granted defendant leave to appeal.
Defendant Damian Gardner was convicted of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree. He filed a timely notice of appeal and appellate brief, contending that the evidence was legally insufficient to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Gardner, a first-time offender, completed a 60-day term of incarceration and was transferred to the custody of ICE. On February 26, 2009, prior to the determination of his appeal, Gardner was deported to Jamaica.

Did the Soviet Union get a net border gain from China during World War II?
The border changes between the Soviet Union and China between 1917 and 1945 seem to be very complicated. At the end, in 1945, the Soviet Union invaded Manchuria wholeheartedly, and in violation of their neutrality pact with Japan, seizing huge swaths of land. Did the Soviet Union later return this territory to China? What was the net change from 1917 to 1945? Did the Russia/Soviet Union end up even larger by 1945, or did China expand at the expense of the old Russia Empire?

he served in the army. In Hungary, for example, Iouri asserts he refused to shoot protestors due to his moral and religious convictions, and as a result, he was mistreated and threatened with punishment. Iouri claims his commanding officer arrested him while he was praying.2 Beyond that, Iouri contends he was generally mocked, threatened, and forced to serve in an "atmosphere of general hostility."

According to Petitioners, conditions did not improve with perestroika and independence. They report receiving threatening letters and phone calls; letters they sent were opened and inspected; and the Russian Orthodox and Ukranian Catholic churches, backed by the government, did "their best to declare [Petitioner's] religion out-of-law." Iouri's asylum application, however, made no mention of any specific incidents of abuse or violence against him or hiswife. Indeed, Iouri mentioned specific incidents for the first time during an asylum interview and in an addendum to his application submitted to the IJ in June 1999. In the addendum, Iouri claimed that (1) he was attacked in December of 1991 and threatened with death if he did not stop attending religious services; (2) his apartment was vandalized in March of 1992; and (3) in February of 1993, his apartment was again broken into and vandalized, and he was beaten and admitted to the hospital with a ruptured kidney.

Two decades later, his sun spotted the card. He suggested to submit the card to the expertise of a professional. After all, the card was hand-drawn, so it might have an "artistic" origin and a subsequent value. The auctioneer Daniel Stade was contacted and he immediately agreed to include the card in his upcoming auction. Stade did some research, finding out the probable name of the artist who drew the card (someone called 'Werner', according to the backside of the card): Werner Graeff fromon behalf of the Australasian Philatelic Traders Association. Max was truly a legend in the stamp world, and a trader for nearly 80 years. He knew no political boundaries and was a major trader with communist Russia and Eastern Europe when they were off limits to most people in the West. Likewise he traded with China well before President Nixon or Gough Whitlam opened them up to Western trade, and he even dealt with North Korea. He also traded with most Arab countries and others in the Middle East such as Lebanon and Egypt, despite being Jewish himself. He had major government contacts in many of these countries and could pull strings that no other businessman in Australia could match. He spoke German, Czech, Hungarian, Russian, English and

at the basis of the systematic approach to sleeping sickness mapping embodied in the Atlas of HAT, the first attempt ever to geo-reference at the village level all sleeping sickness cases reported from affected countries \[[@B26]\]. Underpinning this initiative are the commitment of WHO and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the institutional umbrella provided by the Programme against African Trypanosomosis (PAAT) and the crucial input of National Sleeping Sickness Control Programmes (NSSCPs), Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and Research Institutes.
This paper presents the process of building the Atlas of HAT for the period 2000-2009. The distribution of HAT is presented for 23 out of 25 sub-Saharan countries having reported on the status of sleeping sickness during the last ten years: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Centralof the epidemiological data, including ward and laboratory books. \"Transboundary\" cases from Kenya have also been considered.
5 Data for the United Republic of Tanzania include revisions of previously published figures for the years from 2000 to 2006 \[[@B27],[@B28]\]. The revised includes all cases \"exported\" from the United Republic of Tanzania to other countries.
6 Data for Zambia include revisions of previously published figures for the years 2001 and 2006 \[[@B27],[@B28]\], which had been affected by an error in the yearly reports to WHO (Data verified through a joint assessment by the Zambian Ministry of Health and WHO). \"Exported\" cases have also been included.

diplomatic aide with ties to figures in the CIA. But in 1953, he joined Newsweek and thrived. He became close to a Georgetown neighbor — a young senator named John F. Kennedy — and would later find himself accused by Richard Nixon's defenders of being too cozy with the Democratic establishment.
There was another, even more fateful connection, however. In the early 1960s, Bradlee had persuaded the publisher of The Washington Post, Phil Graham, to buy Newsweek, where Bradlee was Washington bureau chief. A few years later, after Graham's suicide, the company's new president — his widow, Katharine Graham — summoned Bradlee to a private club to which she belonged.
"I said, 'What is it you do want to do? I noticed you've turned these jobs down in New York,'" Graham later told Terry Gross on WHYY's Fresh Air.
"And of course, Ben being Ben, said, 'Well, now that you ask me, I'd give my left one to be managing editor of The Post.' I know that's a little bit vulgar, but Ben talks like that," Graham said. "And I was brought up short, because I didn't expect that."
Soon enough, Bradlee joined the Post as managing editor, with the promise, quickly fulfilled, of leading the previously undistinguished paper as its executive editor.
Remaking The 'Post'
Bradlee went on a hiring spree — and a firing spree too — embracing the so-called new journalism giving feature writers leeway to develop a personalized voice once they had made a mark. Leonard Downie Jr. was a young investigative reporter and editor at the

six games (14.8 per game), Gore is actually on pace for 237 rushing attempts for the season – pretty close to the 268 attempts he averaged during his past four seasons in San Francisco. Despite the temptation to maximize Gore's production, the Colts are also prioritizing his health. Adding a significant number of carries to his workload at 32 years old – ancient for NFL running backs – doesn't seem all that prudent.
While Gore has posted four consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, he did so with a relatively modest number of carries each year.
"I think we have to stay close to (our target)," Pagano said Friday. "We can't rob Peter to pay Paul. We have other capable guys that can take snaps off of him."
The Colts are on pace tostarting strong safety Mike Adams on Sunday after the veteran was ruled out with a hamstring strain. Adams will miss his first game since 2010, when he played for the Cleveland Browns.
With rookie Clayton Geathers dealing with a knee injury and considered doubtful to play, veteran backup Colt Anderson will get the start opposite free safety Dwight Lowery.
Adams, 34, is tied for the NFL lead with four interceptions. It's not the most ideal week to be without a starting member of the secondary with Saints quarterback Drew Brees on tap.
"We happen to be playing another great, great quarterback who poses a huge challenge," Pagano said.

"When people think about the Holocaust, they think
about the crimes against Jews, but here's a different
perspective," said Julie Seltzer Mandel, a third-year
law student who is editor of the Nuremberg Project for
the Rutgers Journal of Law and Religion.
"A lot of people will say, 'I didn't realize that they
were trying to convert Christians to a Nazi
philosophy.' . . . They wanted to eliminate the Jews
altogether, but they were also looking to eliminate
Christianity."
Mandel said the journal would post new Nuremberg
documents about every six months, along with
commentary from scholars across the world, on its Web
site at www.lawandreligion.com.
The material is part of the archives of Gen. William
J. Donovan, who served as special assistant to the
U.S. chief of counsel during the International
Military Tribunal after World War II. The trials were
convened to hold accountablethose responsible for war
crimes.
The first installment - a 120-page report titled "The
Nazi Master Plan: The Persecution of the Christian
Churches" - was prepared by the Office of Strategic
Services, a forerunner of the CIA.
"Important leaders of the National Socialist party
would have liked to meet this situation [church
influence] by complete extirpation of Christianity and
the substitution of a purely racial religion," said an
OSS report in July 1945. "The best evidence now
available as to the existence of an anti-Church plan
is to be found in the systematic nature of the
persecution itself.
"Different steps in that persecution, such as the
campaign for the suppression of denominational and
youth organizations, the campaign against
denominational schools, the defamation campaign
against the clergy, started on the same day in the
whole area of the Reich . . . and were supported by
the entire regimented

Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter . It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to the fight against them and (to) who, Gods truth was greatest not as (a) sufferer but as (a) fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the capitalized temple the brood of vipers and of adders. How terrible was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison . Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognized more profoundlythe first nation to make the ingenuity and industry of our people the basis of our prosperity. If the positive element of Christianity is love of one's neighbor, that is, caring for the sick, clothing the poor, feeding the hungry and quenching the thirst of the parched, then we are true Christians ! For in these respects the people's community of National Socialist Germany has tremendous accomplishments to its credit " (NO, Speech at Munich, February 24, 1939).

It will preserve and defend those basic principles on which our nation has been built. It regards Christianity as the foundation of our national morality, and the

the deadly enemy of Aryan humanity and of all Christendom laughed up his sleeve . Just as the Jew was once able to occupy public opinion with the struggle between federalism and centralization, and thus undermine it, while he sold out the national freedom and betrayed our fatherland to international high finance, so he was again able to loose a storm between the two German denominations, while the foundations of both were eaten away and undermined by international world Jewry ... let it be pondered, further, how racial decay drags down, indeed often annuls, the final Aryan values of our German nation, so that our force as a culture-bearing people is visibly more and more in retreat and we run the great danger of ending up, at leastsee to it that God's will is not simply talked about outwardly, but that God's will is also fulfilled and God's labor not ravished. Because God's will once gave men their form, their being, and their faculties. Who destroys His work thereby declares war on the creation of the Lord , the divine will" (MK,

of neglect and mismanagement that have deprived the country's Black population of opportunities and left them uneducated. This general lack of formal schooling limits career prospects not only during people's initial career phases but also during the later stages of their work engagement.
Phase 2 - Looking for alternatives
The domestic worker sector is characterised by generational engagement - the daughter taking over from where the mother took over from the grandmother. Impoverished circumstances aid this almost unnoticed transition of many young girls into the sector as a way of institutionalised existence. Because these young girls often enter the sector at an early age as a means of survival, they are further deprived of education opportunities, which serves to perpetuate their impoverished sectoral engagement (Bourdillon, 2009; Dinat & Peberdy, 2007).and economic circumstances.
Aim of the Study
The researchers' primary purpose was to explore individual women's subjective perceptions of their own experiences as they relate to the world of domestic work as social phenomena. The shared multiple lived realities experienced by the participants within their specific social existence remained central as we endeavoured to uncover and interpret the complexities of the meaning-making associated with the human experience (Edmonds & Kennedy, 2013; Fox & Bayat, 2013).
Method

The study design is situated within the interpretivist paradigm (Denzin & Lincoln, 1994/2013; Hammond & Wellington, 2013; Leedy & Ormrod, 1974/2013; Loseke, 2013) and focused on the intersubjective world of participants' everyday life (Barber, 2014). Influenced by the work of Alfred Schütz (1962, 1932/ 1967) (cf. Cunliffe, 2011; Denscombe, 1998/2010; Gallagher, 2012), the need to

series introduces a larger music-themed strand through her (more Costello and, among other gems, The Jam's "This Is the Modern World" snarling alongside the disco and funk that keep the soundtrack top-notch), but also because she's mixing with more of the women who seek to change sex-work dynamics. Other characters too push to play the game on their own terms, among them Paul (Chris Coy), who wants to expand his gay club further into the city and not pay for mob protection. Chris (Lawrence Gilliard Jr.) remains the clean cop who can't imagine that the political impetus to clean up 42nd Street has any real chance, but some early, meager wins might change his mind.
Simon and Pelecanos have always employed a granular, no-angle-ignored storytelling approach. The rich detailcan slow the pace, but the diligence pays off in an accurate, unflinching portrayal of the time. As it documents a changing New York City and details the cold inequities of sex workers along with the porn industry's economic rise, The Deuce is increasingly immersive, densely layered and intriguing all around — particularly when Gyllenhaal is on the screen.
It's stunning that Emmy voters didn't reward the show with any nominations, but in that sense not a lot has changed for Simon. Viewers who stay with the series, as with a good novel, are already reaping the rewards.

The first one features a photo of my younger son participating in the Warrior Dash 5K.
The pirates in this one are two of my grandsons and my son-in-law after a makeover at Disney World's Pirates' League.
And this one is our totally laid-back cat, Ed, enjoying the first day of fall. I used a sketch from the Citrus Twist blog as my inspiration. The orange and white floral print is from a past Little Yellow Bicycle collection.
This photo of our terrier, Coco, was taken the same day as the photo of Ed. She was a bit confused by all the leaves swirling around her in the breeze. The design is last week's Nuts about Sketches sketch. The papers are from the October Blue

Climate or host availability: what determines the seasonal abundance of ticks?
Ticks can significantly affect the health and fitness of the host. Seasonal population dynamics of ticks play a vital role in disease transmission and the shaping of life-history traits of both tick and host. In this study, we examine the seasonal population dynamics of Ixodes hirsti in South Australia. For 2 years, we measured the prevalence and intensity of I. hirsti on passerines on Kangaroo Island. Ticks were present on birds from April to November and absent from December to March, with a peak in tick prevalence between June and September. The peak in tick abundance coincided with the host breeding season. Across the year, the most prominent fluctuations in tick abundance occurred in birds that were previouslyREVIEW: The Lum-Tec M38>>>>>>>>>

Kabila, in his first news conference in six years, rejected charges that his forces had violently broken up pro-democracy protests.
"I am not [and] ... will never be against peaceful protests by political parties," Kabila, wearing a dark suit and tie and sporting what has become his trademark goatee, told journalists in the presidential palace. "But [not] if a political demonstration is intended to burn, kill police ... incinerate things."
Many critics accuse the president of delaying the vote to stay in office, especially after a deal brokered by the Catholic church to hold elections by the end of 2017 fell apart when Congo's government said preparations would not be ready in time.

3 Pick himself?
Giggs may not be the solution to the one of the Premier League's hoariest conundrums – the glaring hole in the United midfield – but he was certainly underused by Moyes. In this could be seen the Scot's sometimes baffling logic. Why start the Welshman for the campaign's biggest matches, the home outing of the Champions League last-16 against Olympiakos as United trailed 2‑0 and versus Bayern Munich in the next round's corresponding leg – but only on 12 other occasions?
Marouane Fellaini's £27.5m failure (so far, at least), Cleverley's below-par displays, Darren Fletcher's recent recovery from serious illness and Michael Carrick's weariness as the sole A-list central-midfielder, all made a case for him to be utilised more. So will he write the name of Ryanof course. Yet the handling of multi-millionaires with a clutch of medals is perhaps a No1's most vital skill. Can Giggs do better here than Moyes? Put bluntly, he will struggle to do worse.
5 Harness the Old Trafford atmosphere
"We don't see ourselves as underdogs. We see ourselves as Manchester United playing at home in the Champions League." So said Giggs before the Champions League quarter-final opening leg against Bayern. In this moment a season of deferential football that has left the club embarrassingly off the pace was swept away and the real United were restored.
But the problem for fans pining for more was that Giggs delivered these words as a player. Under Moyes' management, the team continued to cause discontent with their dire home displays and record.

There's Smoke: Simple, Sustainable, Delicious Grilling" (Sterling Epicure, 2013), by former Washington chef Barton Seaver. His treatment is simple and easy, requiring little more than a few minutes at the fire. It yields nutty, luscious, caramelized wedges.
With the holiday season on the horizon, I also wanted to play around with an elegant dessert to serve at a dinner party. I found it in wood-smoked poached pears. The smoke gives the pears an evocative winter's-night-by-the-fire flavor that pairs beautifully with the poaching syrup of red wine, orange and vanilla.
In the end, though, the recipes are just excuses to get out and grill in the riot of autumn's color. Who decreed, I wonder, that summer should rule our grills? Not the founding fathers, that's for sure. In his diaries, Georgeera, which began in May with the coronation of Emperor Naruhito

The report, which explicitly fingered Beijing for its practice of forcibly repatriating North Korea refugees, is a rare case of a UN body implying that officials of a permanent member of the UN Security Council are complicit in crimes against humanity. (The Chinese foreign ministry rejected this charge as "unreasonable criticism.")
But Beijing’s culpability is actually greater than the report states. No country has more influence over North Korea than China, which has long provided a lifeline of economic aid and political cover to the Kim dynasty of Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il, and, since Dec. 2011, Kim Jong Un, while refusing to do anything about the horrendous cruelty being committed next door. If it wanted to, Beijing could use its considerable influence to press Pyongyang to curbKim government, China worries that North Korea may collapse, sending a flood of refugees into northeastern China. A collapse would also mean that South Korea, a Western ally that hosts some 28,500 U.S. troops, would border China as part of a unified Korea.
These concerns are understandable, but also resolvable. Even if South Korea suddenly shared a border with China, Seoul would undoubtedly bear the bulk of the cost of reunification. And Beijing would most likely be able to negotiate with the United States to ensure that U.S. troops not be placed near China’s border — its main security concern.
Because it prefers the status quo, Beijing is closing its eyes to the enormous suffering of the North Korean people. The UN report should shake the conscience of anyone who

Cyprus banks reopened on Thursday after being shut for nearly a fortnight, with tight controls imposed in a bid to stop a bank run as the island's leaders negotiated a €10bn (£8.5bn) bailout package with the European Union.
Savers in Cyprus with more than €100,000 in the top two banks – Bank of Cyprus and Laiki or "Popular Bank" – face losing a large amount of their money.

Petition No. 2: G7823
Several months later while on probation for her prior offense, a campus security
officer found Minor carrying a knife on school grounds. She ran away from the officer
before he could detain her in the school's office. The district attorney filed a new petition
(G7823)against Minor. In addition to one count of possessing a knife on school grounds
(Pen. Code, § 626.10, subd. (a)(1)), the petition alleges she violated the terms of
probation on her prior offense and her performance on probation had been unsatisfactory.
Minor admitted the knife possession offense, and the court sustained the petition. The
court continued Minor's wardship, placed her on probation, imposed new terms and

calls "The Blue World." The expansion includes orca-friendly pools 50 feet deep that contain spots where the killer whales can rub and scratch themselves.
The Coastal Commission staff recommended the project be approved with some conditions, chief among them: SeaWorld cannot populate the pools with orcas caught in the wild and cannot use genetic material from wild orcas to breed killer wales in captivity.
The commission oversees development along the coast, and SeaWorld falls under its bailiwick because it is along San Diego's bayfront.
"This enlarges and updates the killer whale tanks at SeaWorld San Diego," the commision's staff report said. "It is controversial due to ongoing debate over the treatment of killer whales in captivity, particularly exhibits. The 2013 documentary, 'Blackfish,' exposed the stressful conditions under which orcas are capturedin the wild and kept in captivity."
"Blackfish," a documentary by Gabriela Cowperthwaite that aired on CNN, told the story of Tilikum, a 12,000-pound bull orca kept at SeaWorld in Orlando. Tilikum, captured off the coast of Iceland, has sired 21 calves in captivity, but also has killed three people, the most recent being trainer Dawn Brancheau in 2010.
Actress Pamela Anderson was attending with PETA.
Anderson and other protesters said they feared SeaWorld would breed more whales in an expanded pool.
SeaWorld officials have denied plans to breed killer whales or expand the population in San Diego. SeaWorld has said the expansion would benefit the 11 resident orcas, which range in age from 1 to 50.
At one point during Thursday's hearing, though, SeaWorld said it would agree to a limit of

15 orcas and that it was opposed to any limitation on breeding.
If the orcas were set free in the wild, SeaWorld says, they would suffer the same fate as Keiko, the star of the film "Free Willy." In other words, they would quickly die.
'This is torture'
The expansion of SeaWorld's killer whale habitat is the biggest issue the Coastal Commission has faced in its 40 years. The commission received some 200,000 emails and 50,000 letters and moved its regularly scheduled meeting from Long Beach City Hall to the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center to accommodate the crowd. Every one of the 500 seats was taken, and an overflow crowd of about 150 people stood outside.
Those writing letters in favor of the expansion project included elected officials, aquarium, themepark and entertainment groups, and other business interests. Those opposed included animal activists led by groups such as PETA and the Animal Legal Defense Fund.
There are 56 orcas in captivity worldwide, with 24 of them under SeaWorld's care. SeaWorld also operates parks in San Antonio, Texas, and Orlando, Florida.
John Hargrove, a former orca trainer who appeared in "Blackfish" and wrote "Beneath the Surface: Killer Whales, SeaWorld, and the Truth Beyond 'Blackfish,'" urged the commission to deny the expansion, saying it won't offer "meaningful improvement" to the lives of the whales.
"Caging and enslaving these animals so you can have a fun day at SeaWorld is not the answer," Hargrove said. "Captivity is still captivity no matter how gentle the jailer or the size of the cell."

and his mother had endured at the hands of his father. He said, "Everything felt uncomfortably different, but I later recognised that the feeling was simply freedom. It was something I'd never known or felt before. We felt reborn." Yet the reality of this trauma was absent in the media coverage following Lance Hart's murder of his wife and daughter. Like so many Australian men who similarly take the lives of their partners and/or children, Hart was described afterwards in almost glowing terms. He was described as a "nice guy" and a "DIY nut". As Warren points out, "in every report, there was speculation that the prospect of divorce 'drove' Lance to murder, and little mention or description of Claire or Charlotte." Similarly, in Australia, men (most typically,white men) who murder their partners and/or children are treated as tragic figures governed by a force that exists outside of themselves. Geoff Hunt shot his entire family on a farm outside of Lockhart and he was remembered fondly as a good man who helped his disabled wife in and out of the car. Gregory Floyd chased his wife down with a gun in Wangaratta and killed her before killing himself and articles declared his crime a "tragedy" that was "out of character". Damien Little drove a car carrying his two sons off a wharf in Port Lincoln and was mourned afterwards as a "top bloke".

Rumors and harsh facts arriving from outside the grounds of an Oregon nature preserve appear to be roiling the armed militants who have taken over a federal building in hopes of sparking an armed confrontation with government agents.
At least one of the militants, Joe “Capt. O” Oshaugnessy, left the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge amid drinking claims after arguing with participants over bringing their wives and children to the standoff, and another — Brian “Booda” Cavalier — left the compound after news reports revealed he had lied about serving in the military.

A former compatriot-turned-opponent claims one of the most prominent militants, Blaine Cooper, sucker-punched one of his friends — sending the counter-protester to the hospital with a concussion and serious facial injuries.

The extent of Carter's financial support from, and even dependence on, dirty money is still not fully known. What we do know is deeply troubling. Carter and his Center have accepted millions of dollars from suspect sources, beginning with the bail-out of the Carter family peanut business in the late 1970s by BCCI, a now-defunct and virulently anti-Israeli bank indirectly controlled by the Saudi Royal family, and among whose principal investors is Carter's friend, Sheikh Zayed. Agha Hasan Abedi, the founder of the bank, gave Carter "$500,000to help the former presidentestablish his center...[and] more than $10 million to Mr. Carter's different projects." Carter gladly accepted themoney, though Abedi had called his bank-ostensibly the source of his funding-"the best way to fight the evil influence of the Zionists." BCCI isn't the only source: Saudi King Fahd contributed millions to the Carter Center- "in 1993 alone...$7.6 million" as have other members of the Saudi Royal Family. Carter also received a million dollar pledge from the Saudi-based bin Laden family, as well as a personal $500,000 environmental award named for Sheikh Zayed, and paid for by the Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates.
It's worth noting that, despite the influx of Saudi money funding the Carter Center, and despite the Saudi Arabian government's myriad human rights abuses,

hundred of patents worldwide, he died in poverty. A hundred years later, we are still playing catch-up. His legacy can been seen across modern civilization. Tesla was ahead of his time, many of Tesla's ideas and concepts are just only recently coming to fruition.
There was an error working with the wiki: Code[2]
Tesla was (and is) "the common man's Einstein". Real scientists mention him because his name is attached fundamentally to much of the underpinning of our modern society, to the induction coil, and a SI physical unit. The latter seems to have been adopted because of his varied and wide contributions to science and engineering in general. He identified the basic idea for the rotary induction motor, which was missed by others (in devices such as the 19th-centuryWheatstone patent), and the basic circuit for the 'Tesla coil' (an improvement on more primitive circuit that can be seen in the 9th edition of Encyclopedia Britannica (circa 1860)). The history of modern radio dates to Tesla's work, as he consolidated and put into practical usefulness previous research. Among the reasons for his fame is that he was good at conveying ideas to the general public and businessmen who would then utilize this technology.

for the means for increasing the intensity of electrical oscillations. The United States Patent Office classification system currently assigns this patent to the primary Class 178/43 ("telegraphy/space induction"), although the other applicable classes include 505/825 ("low temperature superconductivity-related apparatus"). A few years later, George Westinghouse and J. P. Morgan stopped funding Tesla's research when Tesla showed him that he could offer free electricity to the whole world by simply "ramming a stick in the earth in your backyard". Westinghouse said he would go bankrupt if that happened.
Nikola Tesla began planning the Wardenclyffe Tower facility ca. 1898, and in 1901, construction began on the land near Long Island Sound. Architect Stanford White designed the Wardenclyffe facility main building. The tower was designed by W.D. Crow, an associate of White.Funding for Tesla's project was provided by influential industrialists and other venture capitalists. The project was initially backed by the wealthy J. P. Morgan (he had a substantial investment in the facility, initially investing $150,000).
In June 1902, Tesla moved his laboratory operations from his Houston Street laboratory to Wardenclyffe. However, in 1903, when the tower structure was near completion, it was still not yet functional due to last-minute design changes that introduced in an unintentional defect. When Morgan wanted to know "Where can I put the meter?", Tesla had no answer. Tesla's vision of free power did not agree with Morgan's worldview. Construction costs eventually exceeded the money provided by Morgan, and additional financiers were reluctant to come forth. By July 1904, Morgan (and the other investors) finally

time. In discussing the case of the released animal, it was noted that welfare may not improve straightaway, and indeed wounds may persist for the rest of its life. Thus, the tool could be useful in assessing the best point to intervene, contrasting short-term impact with a better outcome and improved welfare in the longer term. The workshop noted that the Global Entanglement Network utilizes an assessment tool for judging when to intervene ([@B39]), and the FDM could potentially help to develop this tool or be a useful adjunct to it.
### Marine Contaminants
The group explored three hypothetical case scenarios involving polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs): pilot whales in the Mediterranean with moderate exposure and killer whales in the Mediterranean with high exposure, as well as an oil spill in theGulf of Mexico affecting a bottlenose dolphin. Discussion focused around welfare impacts of bioaccumulation on immunosuppression and reproductive suppression including increased abortions and mortality of live-born calves. It was noted that impacts on some domains were secondary or interactive, for example, once an animal becomes diseased (as a result of immunosuppression), then nutrition and behavior may be affected by lack of ability or motivation. Impacts considered in one scenario included a case of calf mortality as a result of toxicity from high levels of PCBs in milk. In this scenario, it was noted that a measure of the welfare status of a female could improve following off-load of PCB burden to her calf (which can be up to 90%) but could also decrease due to a grieving response

The second-best team in France?
The U.S. made seven changes to the starting lineup from its opening game, a nod both to its own depth and the reality that Chile is a weaker side than any the U.S. is likely to face from here on out in the tournament. There wasn't much tocriticize in the opening game against Thailand, so it's safe to assume the changes that took the entire front line, Crystal Dunn, Rose Lavelle, Sam Mewis and Kelley O'Hara, out of the lineup weren't punitive for poor performance.
"I feel like this team has incredible depth," Alex Morgan said. "And when [Ellis] chooses who goes on during a game and who starts, there's no explanation needed. We trust in her. It was pretty incredible that we were able to get all 20 field players on the pitch the first two games."
This was about managing the roster with an eye toward playing seven games. In fact, if the U.S. makes it to the final, it will play six games in 22 days, beginning Sunday. That's a hefty workload for the

degrees when Gingerich and his crew pull up to Badwater Basin, shimmering and salt-caked, shortly after 9 a.m. on July 12. He is among 80 runners competing in the race, and is in the fastest wave of the three scattered starts. Already the first two groups of runners are trotting along the road, some wrapped in white from head to toe.
Gingerich slathers his feet with Vaseline and slips them into his Nike LunarLite Racers, which have 1,000 miles on them. His girlfriend spreads SPF 50 sunscreen on his back, as the rest of his crew organizes the back of the white minivan that will follow Gingerich through the race.
"I guess I'm nervous," Gingerich says after a last-minute bathroom stop. "I have no strategy right now, and so I'mkind of unsure what's going to happen."
He hugs the crew, and his father sprays him with water like a houseplant. As he takes his place on the road, Gingerich slips on sunglasses and flips his baseball cap backward, its ironed-on biblical decal now splashed across his forehead: "HEB 12:1" ("…and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us").
It's 10 a.m., and he's off.

acquisition. The 10-K also reported that Regions had increased its loan loss reserves from $142.4 million in the previous year to $555 million. In explaining this increase, the 10-K stated:
Two primary factors led to the increase. Most notably, 2006 included just two months of provision for loan losses added to the portfolio as a result of the November 2006 merger with AmSouth, while the provision recorded in 2007 reflected the results of the newly merged Regions for the full year. Additionally, the provision rose due to an increase in management's estimate of inherent losses in its residential homebuilder portfolio, as well as generally weaker conditions in the broader economy.

In April 2008 Regions Financing Trust III (the "Trust"), a Delaware statutory trust and wholly owned subsidiarya year earlier. In the months following these disclosures, the price of the Securities and Regions' stock fell, and credit rating agencies downgraded the company's debt.
Following the 2006 AmSouth merger, serious problems emerged in the housing and residential mortgage markets. Beginning in late 2006, several large mortgage lenders, particularly those making predominantly subprime loans, either filed for bankruptcy protection or significantly scaled back their operations. By 2008, the mortgage market problems had spread to larger, more longstanding banks and lenders. This period was also characterized by rising rates of delinquency and foreclosure on home mortgage loans, and slowed housing sales.

In mitigation, Budgen's lawyer Miss Judith Hawkins said:"She has little recollection of what took place but since it happened, she has taken it upon herself to seek the help to deal with things.
"She has a number of health conditions including polycystic ovaries and social services are involved with all parties in the family.
"She has been spoken to by social services but they have no concerns about her getting back together with Hayley and looking after their three children together.
"She doesn't control her money, Hayley deals with all household outgoings because this lady doesn't feel able to look after her money herself and Hayley is her full time carer. They intend to reconcile and bring their three children up."

by Gram-positive bacteria \[[@CR40]\]. Linezolid inhibits protein synthesis and appears to work by disrupting the translation of messenger RNA into proteins in the ribosomes. Linezolid binds to 50S subunit of the ribosome. It has been shown that linezolid is most active against Gram-positive bacteria including streptococci, vancomycin-resistant-enterococci, and methicillin-resistant-*Staphylococcus aureus* (MRSA). The main indications of linezolid are infections of the skin and soft tissues and pneumonia. The drug is available in the United States and the United Kingdom under the name of Zyvox® and in European countries under the name of Zyvoxid®.

president's decision to drop what most knew was a calculated political lie is that it would "fire up" his base among rich liberal donors and college students. It did that.
But it also fired up his base in the press corps, enabling writers to rekindle their obsession with the "historic" nature of the Obama presidency.
As the London Telegraph blogger Tim Stanley writes, everything the president does is cast as part of history. The president could go "seal-clubbing and much of the media would see it as a new epoch for winter sports. 'Barack Obama Becomes the First President to Kill Six Seals in Under One Minute,' the New York Times would proudly report."
It's worth noting that there's little evidence — yet — that Obama's decision will actually help himwith voters, voters who are increasingly less deferential to campaigns from traditional media outlets.
Still, it never hurts to have good press. In football, they sometimes refer to the cheerleading and noise from the fans as the "12th man" on the (normally 11-man) team. The media are revving themselves up to be Obama's 12th man, and the time is coming for Romney to call them on it, with passion.

a bold move, here Thunders steps away from the junkie bravado that was his stock in trade and plays the kind of greasy but passionate rock that doubtless inspired him in the first place. Thunders also strays from his usual buzzsaw guitar patterns here and settles in as part of the ensemble, a big rock band who captures the spirit if not quite the letter of these rock and R&B dusties, adding inspired punctuation without trying to carry the show. And while a few of these songs are played as novelties (especially "She Wants to Mambo" and "Crawfish"), "Two Time Loser" and "I Was Born to Cry" sound like Thunders had been waiting all his life to sing 'em, while Palladin offers excellent support and fares even betterwhen she takes the lead on "Baby It's You" and "He Cried." Hardly a typical Johnny Thunders album, Copy Cats captures the man sounding like he really cared about his work and wanted to make a good album, and his commitment makes the difference here. [The 2007 CD release of Copy Cats from Jungle juggles the sequence and adds two additional tracks, "Let Me Entertain You" and an inspired version of "Love Is Strange," with Thunders New York accent the perfect complement for Palladin's more seductive lead vocals.]

concentrate on Petty and political arithmetic, Boyle and the Royal Society, Hobbes and rational politics, Newton's great synthesis. We forget that Hermeticism and Paracelsanism made their contribution to the scientific revolution, that Boyle was at least as much concerned with combating atheism (and the radical sectarianism which he believed led to atheism) as with scientific truth—a distinction which he would not have admitted—and that Newton was as interested in alchemy and Biblical prophecies as in mathematics and physics.
But the trends towards economic rationality were all-pervasive, regardless of men's conscious intentions.

Cutting ties to reduce conflicts
I wonder if this will start to become more common: According to this article in the New York Times today, Eric J. Topol, the chief academic officer of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, who has had consulting and financial ties with numerous drug and medical device companies including Eli Lilly and Bristol-Myers Squibb, "said in a letter to one company that he had decided to end most of his relationships to 'maintain my academic credibility.'" But did he jump on his own, or was he shoved?

Another parent called police. When officers arrived, they realized they could track the SUV using the built-in locator in the woman's iPhone, which was still in the vehicle.
A sighting and a chase
The woman managed to get hold of her husband, who was returning from a weekend fishing trip in northern Saskatchewan.
He was near Rosthern and heading south toward Saskatoon on Highway 11. She filled him in on what had happened.
"I said to my friend who I was with that I guarantee that where the vehicle was stolen from that he's going to hit the highway. I said either he'll go through Martensville, or go through Warman," the father said.
"I said I guarantee we're going to pass him."
Martensville and Warman are on the two main highways heading northout of Saskatoon.
Minutes later, he saw a black SUV matching his wife's make and model came roaring north in the opposite lane. He crossed over, started pursuing it, but then spotted RCMP on the roadside and backed off.
According to a police news release, the suspect doubled back toward Saskatoon. Police used a spike belt to disable the SUV at Marquis Drive and then caught the suspect after a short chase in the Costco parking lot.
A 50-year-old man with no fixed address is now in custody charged with auto theft, fleeing police, dangerous driving and possessing fake ID.
'Stranger danger'
The parents of the nine-year-old know they're lucky nothing worse happened. His father works in law enforcement and attributes his son's quick reaction to lessons given early.

Introduction
============
Chemotherapy combined with targeted drugs is the current standard management for disseminated metastatic colorectal cancer (MCRC). The baseline chemotherapeutic agents include oxaliplatin, irinotecan and fluorouracil. The combination of oxaliplatin with capecitabine, known as XELOX regimen, has been more easily accepted by patients because of its confirmed efficacy and convenience of use ^\[^[@r1]^\]^.
Targeted drugs such as tumor angiogenesis inhibitors and epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors are expensive which limit their use. Thalidomide, a sedative and anti-inflammatory drug used in immunotherapy has become a research focus since the discovery of its anti-angiogenesis properties in recent years ^\[^[@r2]^,^[@r3]^\]^. A randomized controlled phase II trial was undertaken in the oncology department of The Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University Medical School to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of XELOX withLyme disease.
In the United States, Lyme disease is the most common arthropod-borne infection. The majority of cases are reported from the Northeast, the Midwest, and California, which are areas with established foci of Borrelia burgdorferi. Advances in the understanding of the epidemiology of Ixodes ticks, the established vector for transmission of Lyme disease, provided strategies to reduce tick populations and the risk of acquiring disease. Genotypic diversity of subspecies of B. burgdorferi has been associated with differences in disease expression. New methods for detection of B. burgdorferi have expanded understanding of the pathogenesis of Lyme disease and provided clues into the mechanisms responsible for persistent symptoms. A safe vaccine for the prevention of Lyme disease in humans has been developed, and clinical vaccine efficacy trials are currently under

Mr. A. H. Rait testified that he was the Rait referred to in the negotiations leading up to the settlement of the controversy for the years 1931 and 1932. He corroborated the testimony of the other witnesses with reference to the conferences leading up to the settlement; that in none of the conferences that he attended was there any mention about a waiver of depreciation for subsequent years after 1931 and 1932; that the stipulation of settlement for the years 1931 and 1932 was dated April 26, 1937, and was signed by Mr. Moeller in his presence and at his direction; that exhibit 18, with reference to subsequent years, was not seen by him until about a year later, when after receivingthe United States of America, for the full term of the patent rights, less one day."

In this air stream, the fibers are turned from a position oriented in the peripheral direction of the toothed roller into a position oriented substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of such toothed roller. After these fibers have reached the aforementioned position which is disposed parallel to the axis of rotation of the toothed roller, they are transferred to a suction drum. On the surface of this suction drum the fibers are transported, while still in a position disposed substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the suction drum, to the previously described end or boundary region of such a suction air stream or flow, and, as likewise previously described, are twisted together and withdrawn by appropriate withdrawal means as a spun yarn.

He believes that the unconstitutional delegation of power to the District Attorney's Office to prosecute on behalf of the State of Louisiana deprived him and deprives others of due process. He asserts that the court system as it exists is invalid, a court without jurisdiction. Thus, arrests, investigations and criminal convictions are "void" because there is no "properly empowered" executive branch officer in court to legally represent the State of Louisiana.
In response, the St. Charles Parish District Attorney's Office, ("the DA"), filed exceptions of no cause of action and no right of action. The DA contends that Gibson's attack on

City sued its prime contractor over a water treatment plant project, seeking the total costs of having removed, redesigned, and rebuilt two major elements of the facility, an underground storage tank and a pumping station.
A division of this court concluded that the City "improved its position with different structural elements not part of the original design and corrected undisputed deficiencies in the original design for which [the prime contractor] was not responsible." Centric-Jones, supra, 100 P.3d at 479.

Sometimes using several of these sources, the researchers generated a body of most-commonly used words in English, Spanish, French, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, Chinese, Russian, Indonesian and Egyptian Arabic. (To generate the body of most-commonly used words in the English language, for instance, the researchers used Google Books, The New York Times, Twitter and music lyrics.)
Then, they paid native speakers of each of those languages to rate how they felt in response to each of those words on a nine-point scale, where 1 is most negative or saddest, 5 is neutral, and 9 is most positive or happiest.
For each word, they collected 50 ratings from native speakers.

Court's recent remedial orders exceed the Court's discretion. The State of New York appeals from several orders of the District Court for the Southern District of New York (Leonard B. Sand, District Judge). The City and the Yonkers Board of Education ("YBE") cross-appeal. We affirm in part and dismiss in part.
Background
I. Procedural History
2
In 1980, the United States commenced this action in the Southern District of New York against the YBE and the City, alleging unconstitutional segregation of the Yonkers schools. The NAACP later intervened as a plaintiff. In 1985, Judge Sand found that the schools were segregated, and that the segregation was the result of intentional segregation. See United States v. Yonkers Board of Education, 624 F. Supp. 1276 (S.D.N.Y. 1985) ("Yonkers I").1 In 1986, Judge Sand approvedthird part of the inquiry Judge Sand had contemplated in 1993.
4
In 1997, the District Court held a trial on remedy for the State's liability, with an updated inquiry into the 1993 vestiges finding. Judge Sand found that vestiges of segregation persisted, in the form of low teacher expectations and insufficiently multi-cultural teaching techniques and curriculum. He then approved the Monitor's "EIP II" programs as a remedy for these vestiges. See Yonkers VI, 984 F. Supp. 687, 695-98 (S.D.N.Y. 1997) ("Yonkers VI").3 Yonkers VI also approved a 50-50 split between the City and the State for EIP I costs for FY 1997 (ending June 30, 1997), and determined that the State should receive only partial credit against its FY 1997 liability for its magnet school aid to Yonkers.

EIP II for FY 1998 and FY 1999, and disallowed the State's claims for certain credits. The five actions are:
6
First, a June 15, 1998, opinion and an implementing July 27, 1998, order. Judge Sand captioned this order the "EIP Funding Order," but the parties refer to it (and the opinion on which it is based) as the "Formulaic Funding Order" (or "FFO"), and we will use their terminology. The FFO maintains the 50-50 cost-sharing principle (provisionally implemented for FY 1997 in Yonkers VI) for the nine- year interval from 1997 to 2006. However, in recognition of the City's current financial difficulties, the FFO requires the State to pay higher percentages in the early years and the City to pay higher percentage in the later years, achieving the 50-50million in federal magnet school aid currently being awarded to the City each year in grant money available only to school systems that are implementing court-ordered or agency- ordered desegregation. See 20 U.S.C. § 7205 (1994). In October 1998, the Monitor recommended denial of the State's motion for a credit for half the federal magnet school aid for FY 1997.7 He reasoned that it was fair to let the City keep the money since it was the City that had applied for it, and since a finders-keepers rule provided maximum incentive to explore outside sources of funds. In November 1998, Judge Sand adopted the Monitor's recommendation and reasoning.8

to revisit history. He cited the Indian Removal Act, which passed in the 19th century, and dispossessed millions of Native Americans, as an example.
"In the 1830s, there were politicians who voted against [removal], who said 'we're going to regret this one day. This will be a moment of shame.' That's how it's regarded now," he says. “One of the things that Americans should be proud of, that I'm proud of, is that we are willing to look at really negative chapters of our history in a way that, I think, all countries do not.”

Fosu-Mensah, 18, made his United debut in February and also recently received his first call-up to the senior Netherlands national team, although he had to drop out due to injury concerns.
According to Voetbal International, his agents are currently negotiating a new contract at Old Trafford, and Fosu-Mensah, who can operate in defence or midfield, says he is excited about working under new United manager Mourinho.
"I've never heard a player speak badly about Mourinho," he said. "I'm curious -- I want to develop into a top player for Manchester United under him. That's the next step in my plan.

wanted a bike. I rode with my dad to get it. I can remember the ride. I can remember the place, a house in the country. Not a farm house, it was on the road. The man had two bikes he was selling. Dad let me pick, I picked the one made by ‘Indian’, because I liked the logo of an Indian chief on the name plate. You may remember the bike name was always on the front of the frame, just above the front fender. For some reason all bikes were labeled there.
It was a small 20” bike, long before training wheels. Shirl had a bike, and had for a couple years. She had already taught me to ride(after all she was much older than I (LOL))to travel to grandma's house for the holidays - and that was usually 500 or more miles away. Hard to be true to the tale of Santa coming on Christmas Eve night when that's the case!!!
We always travel to Grandma's for Christmas too,except for one year in Kansas. The presents always went with us and back, Santa had to get the job done...ha. He(she) even signed Cori's cast one Christmas while she slept. Enjoy your Mole-asses, Sheila

PER CURIAM
Appellant James Edward Smith, an inmate incarcerated in the Arkansas Department of
Correction (“ADC”), filed a petition for judicial review in the Pulaski County Circuit Court
pursuant to Arkansas Code Annotated section 25-15-212 (Repl. 2002) to challenge a disciplinary
action against him by the ADC. Specifically, appellant challenged the reduction of his class level,
which, according to appellant, resulted in a reassignment of his job as library clerk and removal
from the “Christian Base Program” barracks. He contended that he was disciplined based on
a finding without “substantial evidence” that a violation of the ADC rules occurred, namely
arguing that he was unjustly punished for having in his possession legal documents that were
given to him to read by other inmates.

Chronicles as a mish-mash of potentially interesting science fiction themes ground together as backdrops for the putative action scenes on which the plot is overlaid to tie them together. I do watch for a bit when it's on because those action scenes are visually striking but I wouldn't call it great science fiction.
What about it puts it in that category for you?
Reservoir Dogs is the second-bloodiest movie I've ever seen behind only the second half of Event Horizon (the first half of which is quite good and abandoned in the second half when the director punts and says "Release The Blood!"). An excellent movie though, as little of the blood is gratuitous.
As far as underrated movies goes how about Dark City, and Oldboy. A more recent film butpresidential elections, ǀGoagoseb received 1,760 votes for President. His strongest showing was in the Rehoboth Rural, where he placed 2nd of the 12 candidates with 674 votes, only behind Katuutire Kaura of DTA, who received 1,114 votes. Overall, ǀGoagoseb received 1001 votes in the central Hardap Region, or 57% of his total votes nationally. He next best constituency was his native Gobabis, where he finished in 5th place with 298 votes.

Indigenous Caribbean communities {#sec004}

The Santa Rosa FPC is based in Arima, a settlement located in the north-central region of Trinidad, roughly 26 km east of Port of Spain. According to the Trinidadian Central Statistics Office 2011 census, approximately 1,328 people in Trinidad identified as indigenous, 7% of whom live in Arima \[[@pone.0139192.ref024]\]. The history of the FPC extends back to when Trinidad was a Spanish colony \[[@pone.0139192.ref025]\]. In 1749, the Indian Mission of Arima was established in the north-central region of Trinidad as a Capuchin Mission town \[[@pone.0139192.ref025],[@pone.0139192.ref026]\]. This mission town was named "Arima" in honor of Hyarima, an indigenous leader and activist who during the 16^th^ century led several rebellions to defend his community

colonization into the 18^th^ century. During this period, France and Britain agreed to leave St. Vincent, Dominica, St. Lucia, and Tobago as so-called 'neutral islands' for the indigenous people of the Caribbean. In reality, while both France and Britain worked to ensure that the other would gain no advantage on the neutral islands, Britain formally seized control of St. Vincent in 1763. British encroachment on indigenous lands resulted in the First Carib War (1772--73), after which the British succeeded in dispossessing indigenous peoples and forcing them into a treaty. Although the Vincentian indigenous groups halted the British military advance at that time, within twenty years, the Second Carib War (1795--96) erupted between these antagonists. As a result of this conflict, Vincentian indigenous peoples were deported, first to theeventually returned to St. Vincent. Today, contemporary Garifuna peoples are found in countries throughout Central America, on St. Vincent, and in the United States \[[@pone.0139192.ref031],[@pone.0139192.ref032]\]. The native communities of St. Vincent are generally located in the north of the island at Sandy Bay, Fancy, and Owia, but also in the southwest regions at Grieggs Point, Rose Bank, and Rose Hall \[[@pone.0139192.ref033]\].
Sampling {#sec005}
--------
Genetic samples, collected via buccal swabs, were obtained from a total of 88 indigenous individuals in both Trinidad and St. Vincent. Of this total, 65 participants were Garifuna from the Kingstown area and two regions on the northeastern coast of St. Vincent. The remaining 23 samples were obtained from members of the Santa Rosa FPC in Arima, Trinidad. All 88 DNA samples were subjected to genetic analysis.

(ÖVP) and the Freedom Party (FPÖ), one interviewee noted that 'three government positions -- Federal Chancellor, Foreign Minister, and Minister of the Interior -- were already fixed for the ÖVP. It is logical that the FPÖ also gets one of its desired portfolios.' Similarly, one of the Freedom Party negotiators issued a similar explanation: 'The \[allocation of the\] Minister of Finance was self‐evident: There was a draw in terms of parliamentary seats and the one party takes the Federal Chancellor. So, the other one must get the Minister of Finance.' This suggests a sequential choice logic that is implicit in these mechanisms and actions.
There are indeed many instances where a sequential logic in the portfolio allocation process is fully institutionalised. In Belgium, for example, parties first agree on(FWF) (grant P25490) for the research project on 'Coalition Governance in Central Eastern Europe' in collaboration with the 'Governments in Europe' project (PI: Torbjörn Bergman). We thank three anonymous reviewers, Ulrich Sieberer, the panellists at the 2013 ECPR general conference, the 2014 MPSA conference, and the participants of the seminar series at the Department of Government, University of Vienna, for helpful comments and suggestions. We also thank Hannah Kieblspeck and Michael Imre for excellent research assistance.
For example, if the SPD took finance, Ursula von der Leyen (CDU) could move to foreign affairs, leaving her fallback options (e.g., health) for bargaining between the coalition partners.

KALAMAZOO, MI - Before she was arrested last month on suspicion of drunken driving, a Calhoun County sheriff's deputy calmly answered a Kalamazoo police sergeant's questions, at times appearing a bit nervous.
But once she was in handcuffs and placed in the back of a Kalamazoo Public Safety cruiser, Noemi Garza kicked at one of the car's doors and let loose with a profanity-filled rant laced with expletives and other choice words, according to video footage obtained by the Kalamazoo Gazette under the Michigan Freedom of Information Act.
"I refuse everything," Garza said, declining to submit to a preliminary breathalyzer test after she was placed in Officer Emily Kane's cruiser. "Take me to the (expletive) county."
Garza, 32, of Hastings, pleaded not guilty Friday when she was arraigned in Kalamazoo CountyDistrict Court on charges of attempted resisting and obstructing police, operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, failure to stop at the scene of a collision and possession of a firearm while under the influence.
Each charge is a misdemeanor, the most serious of which is attempted resisting and obstructing police. That charge is punishable by up to one year in jail while the remaining counts are punishable by a maximum sentence ranging between three months and 93 days in jail.
Garza was arrested following a June 13 crash near the corner of Douglas Avenue and Forbes Street. Officers responded to the crash after a man reported that his Oldsmobile Alero had been struck by a Pontiac Firebird that "blew through" the intersection at Douglas and West Main Street, according to

her handcuffs.
Later, as Kane took Garza from the scene to KDPS headquarters, she cursed at Kane, telling the officer she required medical treatment for her hand and calling Kane several offensive names.
When they arrived at headquarters, the video footage shows Garza refused to get out of Kane's cruiser before eventually complying.
After she was taken into headquarters, video footage from the facility showed Garza, at one point, pulled away from Kane. Once she was placed in a holding cell, she kicked the entry door several times.
Later, as she spoke to a KDPS officer at headquarters, she told him, "I already know my (expletive) career is (expletive)."
Garza, who has been a deputy in Calhoun County for six years, was placed on administrative leave following her arrest. Sheriff Matt Saxton couldA Senate inquiry into political interference at the ABC will come a step closer on Monday, when the Greens propose draft terms of reference.
The proposed inquiry would examine the sacking of the managing director Michelle Guthrie, the conduct of former chairman Justin Milne and the board, the system of board appointments and any political influence or attempted political influence over editorial matters.
Milne was forced to resign last month in the face of damaging allegations he compromised the independence of the public broadcaster by demanding journalists be sacked, but he denied there had been any interference by the government in the ABC.
If the inquiry wins the support of Labor and the crossbenchers it will bring to five the number of inquiries the ABC is facing.

Square in New York. In a unique move, Macy's will partner with Facebook to add about 150 brands that currently advertise on the social media platform to sell in its shops.
"We've made lots and lots of changes at 'The Market @ Macy's' based on customer feedback," Marc Mastronardi, executive vice president of new business development at Macy's, said about what's happened since the retailer rolled out the marketplaces earlier this year. "We're bringing the brands to life." One change is making the marketplaces larger. The newer locations in Atlanta and Los Angeles will be nearly double the size of the earlier "The Market @ Macy's" locations, according to Mastronardi. And the existing shops could grow over time, he said. The pop-up marketplaces in Macy's stores are, also importantly,one way for the company to use its excess real estate as it tries to cut back on its inventory and stock fewer items at any given time as more retail sales move online. According to Coresight Research, online retail sales are expected to grow nearly 16 percent this holiday season from a year ago, capturing roughly 16 percent of total retail sales. This would be up from a share of 14 percent in the fourth quarter of 2017. Many of the brands coming into "The Market @ Macy's" have never had a store before, Michelle Klein, director of Facebook's North America marketing division, told CNBC. Some names among the list of 150 include Love Your Melon, a hat and apparel company that donates 50 percent of its

The incidence of sterilisation in the UK.
To estimate incidence rates for tubal occlusion and vasectomy, and to examine how these vary with age, geographical area and time. Search of patient files for operation codes in the years 1992-1999 and calculation of person time. General Practice Research Database. Patient files of women aged 20-54 years and men aged 20-64 years were searched for sterilisation operation codes. Annual incidence rates in five year aged bands were calculated for sterilisation operations for both sexes. Figures were examined according to National Health Service Region and population density category of the general practices. The relationship between year of operation and mean age at operation was also examined. Incidence rates by year, age group and geographical area.

Cheese making has always involved the use of enzymes, and it goes as far as back in about 400 BC, when Homer\'s Iliad mentioned the use of a kid\'s stomach for making cheese. In 1783, the famous Italian catholic priest Lazzaro Spallanzani first mentioned the importance of this biomolecule in his work of biogenesis (spontaneous generation of microbes) where he mentioned that there is a life-generating force inherent to certain kinds of inorganic matter that causes living microbes to create themselves given sufficient time \[[@B2]\]. In the year 1812 Gottlieb Sigismund Kirchhoff was investigating the procedure of converting starch into glucose. In his experiment he also enlightens the application of these biomolecules as catalyst \[[@B3]\]. In 1833,

French chemist Anselme Payen discovered the first enzyme, diastase \[[@B4]\]. In 1835, the hydrolysis of starch by diastase was acknowledged as a catalytic reaction by another Swedish scientist Jöns Jacob Berzelius. In 1839, he also interpreted fermentation as being caused by a catalytic force and postulated that a body---by its mere presence---could, by affinity to the fermentable substance, cause its rearrangement to the products \[[@B5]\]. In 1846 the activity of invertase was demonstrated by Dubonfout. A few decades later in 1862, when studying the fermentation of sugar to alcohol by yeast, Louis Pasteur along with Ferdinand Cohn and Robert Koch came to the conclusion that this fermentation was catalysed by a vital force contained within the yeast cells called "ferments,\" which were thought to function only within living\[[@B7]\]. It was not until 1926, however, that the first enzyme was obtained in pure form, a feat accomplished by James B. Sumner of Cornell University. Sumner in 1947 was able to isolate and crystallize the enzyme urease from the jack bean. His work was to earn him the Nobel Prize. John H. Northrop and Wendell M. Stanley shared the 1947 Nobel Prize with Sumner. They discovered a complex procedure for isolating pepsin. This precipitation technique devised by Northrop and Stanley has been used to crystallize several enzymes \[[@B8]\]. In 1960, NOVO started producing protease using Bacillus lichnformis on a commercial scale. After 1980, many scientists started application of genetic engineering techniques in order to improve the production of enzymes and also to alter the properties of enzymes

Commission number (EC number) is a numerical classification scheme for enzymes, based on the chemical reactions they catalyze \[[@B14]\]. As a system of enzyme nomenclature, every EC number is associated with a recommended name for the respective enzyme. Except for some of the originally studied enzymes such as pepsin, rennin, and trypsin, most enzyme names end in "ase.\" The enzyme nomenclature scheme was developed starting in 1955, when the International Congress of Biochemistry in Brussels sets up an Enzyme Commission. The first version was published in 1961. The current sixth edition, published by the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in 1992, contains 3196 different enzymes. The International Union of Biochemistry (I.U.B.) initiated standards of enzyme nomenclature which recommend that enzyme names indicate both the substrate actedconfined within an organelle called the lysosome.Other lipase enzymes, such as pancreatic lipases, are secreted into extracellular spaces where they serve to process dietary lipids into more simple forms that can be more easily absorbed and transported throughout the body.Fungi and bacteria may secrete lipases to facilitate nutrient absorption from the external medium (or in examples of pathogenic microbes to promote invasion of a new host).Certain wasp and bee venoms contain phospholipases that enhance the "biological payload\" of injury and inflammation delivered by a sting.As biological membranes are integral to living cells and are largely composed of phospholipids, lipases play important roles in cell biology.*Malassezia globosa*, a fungus that is thought to be the cause of human dandruff, uses lipase to break down sebum into oleic acid and

safe use of enzymes in food processing has been documented in a recent study by Novozymes and the University Hospital of Odense, Denmark \[[@B150]\].
The application of enzymes in food processing is governed by food laws. Within the EU, large parts of the food laws of individual member states have been harmonized by directives and regulations. For general purposes, the FAO/WHO Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) have made guidelines available for the application of enzymes as food additives. AMFEP in Europe and the Enzyme Technical Association (ETA) in the USA work nationally and internationally to harmonize enzyme regulations. AMFEP members ensure that the enzymes used in food processing are obtained from nonpathogenic and nontoxigenic microorganisms, that is, microorganisms that have cleanHundreds of thousands of people took to the streets in the Czech capital on Saturday as part of major anti-government protests.
This comes one day ahead of the 30th anniversary of the beginning of the Velvet Revolution, a series of nonviolent mass protests that led to the overthrow of communism in what was then Czechoslovakia. The bloodless revolution was the basis for the founding of the Czech Republic as a democratic state.
Police estimated that 200,000 people were on the streets, while organizers put the number at up to 300,000.
Saturday's protest was organized by activist group Million Moments for Democracy, which has staged numerous protests against the government of Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis, urging him to resign.

"This has nothing to do with media leaks, the decision for his retirement was made prior; an agreement was made with the (Secretary of Defense) and the Chairman for one more year – to March 2014," Vines told Reuters in an email.
Alexander's thrice-extended tenure as NSA director since August 2005 makes him the spy agency's longest serving chief. Inglis, who joined the NSA as a computer security scientist, has been the spy agency's number two since 2006.
Both directors are leaving voluntarily but their exit gives the Obama administration the chance to re-shape the culture and practices of the signals intelligence agency. Possibilities including splitting the leadership of the NSA and US Cyber Command, which has the authority to run both defensive and offensive operations on behalf of theconceded claims dating back to June that the signal's intelligence agency's phone surveillance program had frustrated 54 terrorist “plots or events” were inaccurate. He admitted that "only 13 of the 54 cases were connected to the United States".
Even more damningly, he conceded that only "one or two suspected plots" were identified directly as a result of bulk phone record collection, the Washington Times reports.
Such misstatements may have led to a lack of confidence within the Obama administration that the NSA's leadership was capable of weathering the surveillance, amid concerns it could cost the US cloud-based services industry billions as customers find alternatives to US services.
Alexander, 61, may be more likely to take up a lucrative job with a defence contractor than go into early retirement when he retires,

on the central pod. Pre-orders were opened up and all looked set for a release the following year. But it was not to be.
"When we announced at the end of 2013 that we were going into production the following year, we then realized that even though it was a big jump from the prototype to the version we announced in 2013, we still had a lot of challenges to face," explained Bertrand. "The biggest was the architecture of the boat itself – it was still a catamaran."
Tests with the prototype revealed that when the pod was submerged, waves hitting the pontoons above caused some instability below. "We went back to research and development and had some discussions with VPLP, our naval architects, and concluded that we need toon assignment for Gizmag. The experience was magical.
On paper, the Platypus looks impressive, mold-breaking, innovative. In the flesh, even more so. But going out on what was effectively my first dive without needing any special equipment, no special training and little more than a few swimming certificates to my name was a real eye opener. No tanks on my back, wearing just a t-shirt and shorts and riding pillion beneath the waves on something akin to an underwater motorbike.
Cool ride for beginners, but what about seasoned divers?
Earlier in the day, Christophe Samson, Managing Director of Ramatuelle's Cap Camarat Plongée (diving center), also tried the Platypus for the first time. He said "it was a good experience, interesting, but a little bit frustrating as it was quite short. I

For his 12-point victory ensures the fight for the GOP nomination will not end soon and will get nastier. Indeed, it already has. Whether Newt or Mitt Romney emerges victorious, the candidate who comes out of the Republican convention will be bruised and bloodied.
Consider, first, Newt.
According to a Fox News poll, 56 percent of the American people have an unfavorable opinion of the former speaker. Only 27 percent hold a favorable opinion. By two to one, the nation has a negative view of Newt. And as Newt has been a national figure for two decades, to reverse the impression he has left on the country would require an immense volume of positive media, free and bought.
And Newt is getting neither.
Now, in Florida, Romney has decided to tear thescab off, and 24 hours after his South Carolina defeat, he is busy at it.
Newt, said Mitt, "was a leader for four years as speaker of the House. ... And at the end of four years ... he was a failed leader, and he had to resign in disgrace. ... He was investigated (by) an ethics panel and had to make a payment associated with that, and then ... 88 percent of his (fellow) Republicans voted to reprimand Speaker Gingrich."
"What's (Newt) been doing for 15 years?" Mitt asked. "He's been working as a lobbyist ... and selling influence around Washington."
Mitt did not bring up Newt's three wives and the tawdry tale told by second wife Marianne to ABC. Yet the super PACs of the Democratic Party will make

But Chen's criticism of the Chinese government were notably mixed with praise. He commended it for permitting him to study in the U.S. And he expressed hope that the central government would follow through on his call to investigate Shandong Province officials' treatment of him and his family.
Asked whether he thought there would be genuine democracy in China in his lifetime, Chen said he was "very optimistic" -- an assessment he based on Chinese citizens' increasing access to information.
"Chinese society has gotten to the point where, if you don't want something known, you better not do it."
Though confident that China is in a state of "historic transition," Chen argued that fundamental change in the country will require ordinary citizens' participation, not just government reforms. Andhe cautioned that any change will occur in fits and starts.
"Many people...want to move the mountain in one week. We have to move it bit by bit and start by ourselves."
While his talk was primarily forward-looking, Chen also briefly recalled his recent stay at the U.S. embassy in Beijing.
Chen disputed U.S. officials' statements that he said he did not want to go to the United States when he was at the embassy -- only to change his mind as soon as he was released to Chinese authorities.
"While I was at the embassy I said I didn't want to leave China. What I meant was I didn't want asylum."
Chen has hesitated to reveal details about what happened during his four years of imprisonment from 2006 for "damaging property and
