Their verdict? The company did develop the drug in 1912, but the appetite suppressant story is an urban myth, passed on from source to source through "uncritical copy-paste procedures". Instead, documents from the time show that ecstasy emerged during the company's efforts to develop a potentially life-saving medicine that would help blood to clot.
The best available blood clot medicine at the time, hydrastinin, was patented by Merck's local rival Bayer. Merck chemists believed that a similar compound called methylhydrastinin would be equally effective and set about trying to make it from scratch in a way not covered by the Bayer patent. Ecstasy, also known as MDMA, was first produced during these experiments, but attracted little attention. Merck's recent search found just a passing reference to thedrug: in a patent the company filed in 1912 to protect its new blood clot agent, which had been tested on patients in a Berlin hospital. Patent 274350 did not refer to MDMA by name, but described its properties among a list of other new intermediates: "colourless oil, boiling point 155C at 20mm pressure, its salt forms white crystals".
Tellingly, there were no references to any experiments to test the biological effects of ecstasy, then known as methylsafrylamin. As the official report of Merck's historical detectives puts it: "In clear contrast to what is usually claimed by the 'ecstasy' literature, MDMA was neither studied in animals nor humans at Merck around 1912."
This is not the first time that the appetite suppressant pill story has been exposed as false -

her "Stripped" days. I was thrilled to find it was a double album - with each CD having its own distinct flavour. The first CD is full of the funky, strong sound that Christina has developed over the years, while the 2nd is more experimental, with retro sounds.
Of course, being Christina there is an intro and an outro. As the album begins, she informs us she is going "Back to basics" (a familiar theme, I guess, as the last album was "Stripped") and throughout the album she reminds us of the golden years of music. On "Back in the day" she warms to her theme, namechecking the virtuosos who "paved the way" and inspired her style. As you may have guessed, these include Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Minnieheard to be believed... it really is quite something. Burlesque troups all over the world will be perfecting their routines to this one. Enjoy!
Her "outro" has been criticised by many for its cheesiness, in using recordings from her fan club to inform the singer of her all-round brilliance. But as far as I'm concerned, it's no worse than the self-congratulations that often mar albums, and as a tribute to the fans who are now part of Christina's discography, I think it justfies itself.
The second CD also features a circus theme (don't worry, Britney. Nobody will notice Xtina got there first) and this was also part of her Back to Basics tour. I saw her in London and she was phenomenal. Now that she is cutting back on the

Arune is the real mystery. Arune has a very bizarre history. He is on disability in Canada, even though he brags about practicing law pro bono. He traveled to Thailand, supposedly as part of some sort of business deal, and claims he was imprisoned because he was framed by Citibank. While he was in a Thai jail, he claims he was sodomized (he uses the term rape, but that is not the appropriate term for male on male sexual assault). Apparently, prior to this he showed no inclination towards any gender issues and he originally claimed that the idea of a sex change was suggested by a therapist, apparently in Thailand. When he was confronted on this, he defended that claim.
After being largely rejected as a transsexual byanyone who encountered his bizarre claims, he dropped out of sight for a while, returning with a claim of being an autogynephile and major defender of Blanchard and Bailey.
Arune has a history of attacking those who have successfully transitioned. He tries, desperately, to drag them down to his level. He has attacked Andrea James, Calpernia Adams, Lynn Conway (he took her to take for her "Successful Transsexual Women" page, claiming that none truly existed), and anyone else who does not blindly adhere to the Blanchard theory of transsexualism. Arune also has a history of seeking affirmation for his transsexualism. He seems more concerned with being seen as a transsexual than anything else. That is why he was trying to befriend Cooke. He saw her as a major source

The visitors took the lead at the Santiago Bernabeu when Welbeck got the better of Ramos from a corner, and directed his header past Diego Lopez.
MOURINHO STILL CONFIDENT
The former Chelsea manager remains optimistic about his side's chances of going through
But while the 26-year-old admitted it was his costly mistake which led to the goal, Ramos said the corner should have never been awarded to begin with.
"He got the better of me but it was not a corner in the first place, that is certain," Ramos told reporters. "The margin for error in the Champions League is tiny."
Nonetheless, the Spain international was buoyed by the performance of Los Blancos on Wednesday and insists that although they never got the result they wanted, there is cause for optimism heading intoNCAA.

The French government warned of a "deteriorating situation in Aleppo and northern Syria" on Sunday, as Ankara continued its bombing of Kurd militias and their allies in the area.
Turkey sees the Kurdish YPG units as a direct threat to its safety and is anxious about the group's recent territorial gains near the Turkish border. The country's officials also claim that the shelling is merely a response to incoming fire from the Kurdish positions.
In the Sunday statement, the French foreign ministry urged an "immediate halt to the bombing, both that of the (Syrian) regime and its allies throughout the country and that of Turkey in the Kurdish zones," echoing an earlier US appeal directed at Ankara. The YPG is an important ally of Western countries in the fight againstthe so-called "Islamic State."
Turkey continuing strikes
The Turkish leadership, however, seemed undeterred in its intent to continue the strikes.
Turkey would not permit the Kurdish units "to carry out aggressive acts," Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said that during a telephone call with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
"Our security forces gave the necessary response and will continue to do so," he told Merkel, according to his office.
Kurds refuse to leave
The Turkish military used howitzers to target the area around the border town of Azaz and the Menagh airbase, which is controlled by the YPG units. At least three YPG fighters have died since the shelling started on Saturday, Kurdish officials said.
YPG and their allies drove the Islamist rebels out of the Menagh less than a week ago, with the Russian air force

their annual budget, vote on bylaws and pass resolutions. If anyone represents Arizona's Republican Party, advancing the causes of faith, family and freedom, it is the folks from District 11. Yet their importance, let alone their existence, seemed to matter little to their state's famous and ambitious senior senator.
All that changed when Haney organized a revolt that hardly needed encouragement. "People would be calling in to [state committee] headquarters every week, absolutely enraged, threatening to leave the party because of some comments McCain made," Haney told me. "The guy has no core, his only principle is winning the presidency. He likes to call his campaign the 'straight talk express.' Well, down here we call it the 'forked tongue express.'"
Rank-and-file Republicans are disgruntled about McCain's support for campaign financereform and gun control and his opposition to a federal ban on gay marriage. Conservative anger reached a boiling point in 2004 when McCain led the opposition to Prop 200, a state ballot measure restricting public services for undocumented immigrants. In the summer of 2005, months after Prop 200 succeeded with support from nearly 70 percent of GOP voters, Haney introduced a resolution in District 11 to censure McCain for "dereliction of his duties and responsibilities as a representative of the citizens of Arizona." After the resolution coasted through the district, it was introduced before the GOP committee of Maricopa County, Arizona's largest, encompassing Phoenix and Scottsdale (once home to Barry Goldwater).
At the time, McCain and his handlers were working to burnish his conservative credentials to win over

of Appeals was not informed of the nature of the situation which is now posed. As the matter now stands, in my opinion, subject to hearing ... there has been no conviction of this defendant because a conviction takes place, as I understand the matter, at the time of sentence.
10
So, we have a situation where there is no conviction of the defendant, and the defendant is in an enviable position because this matter is in the posture of the sentence having been set aside.
11
Defendant's counsel stated that he had had a conversation with the defendant "before he had been deported, and he was most concerned that the Court of Appeals argument date would not occur prior to the time that he was scheduled for deportation, and Isaid at that point, I said, Diego, I don't have an oral argument date as of yet...."
12
The Assistant United States Attorney advised the district court that, following oral argument in the Court of Appeals on November 27, 1995, defendant's counsel had informed him that the defendant had been deported. At the hearing, the AUSA produced a letter dated December 28, 1995, addressed to the three members of the appeals panel, which said that there had been "a recent development that raises a question of mootness," specifically that "after the oral argument, the parties learned that LopezAguilar had completed his sentence[,][ ] had been released by the Bureau of Prisons on October 19, 1995," and been deported to Colombia on October 25, 1995.

In "The Rings of Akhaten," The Doctor realizes he has seen different incarnations of Clara and shouts, "She's not supposed to exist!" As a viewer, why should I care about Clara if the Doctor is always going to be suspicious of her?
Previously, the chemistry developed over time between Amy and the Doctor in a story arc. I felt Karen Gillan came out as her own in the episode, "Vincent and the Doctor," as Amy was reeling from Rory's death.

The eldar, those who went to Aman, were instructed in "skill" directly by the Valar, so they were much more learned. Also, those who had seen the light of the trees were deemed more powerful only by that fact:
"Great power Melian lent to Thingol, who was himself great among the Eldar, for him alone had seen with his own eyes the Trees in the days of their flowering and King though he was of Umanyar, he was not accounted among the Moriquendi, but with the elves of the light, mighty upon Middle-Earth" (Quote from "Of Thingol and Melian" in the Silmarillon)
This implies that only seeing the trees gave magical power.
Galadriel is also from that category, being a specially gifted and strong minded Noldo who had seen the trees.Elrond from his part is not a real Eldar because he never went to Aman. But he was from great lineage and had been raised by high elves, so he had much knowledge and much wisdom, but not on a par with Galadriel. In LoTR, she is the only elven ruler remaining to have seen Aman, and I don't remember any other elf mentionned in the story to have seen Aman.
Others, like Thranduil or Celeborn never saw the light, but were originally sindarin elves of the Doriath kingdom of Thingol and Melian, and from that contact they had more knowledge than most of their subjects who had always remained simple sylvan elves, most of whom had never even set foot in Beleriand.

Why Are We Treating the Muslim Brotherhood Like The Victim in Egypt?
As the Middle East continues to fall apart, President Obama's stance on foreign policy becomes more confusing. Despite dubbing Egypt as the gateway to the Muslim world in 2009, the country is on the brink of civil war and the administration seems to be backing the Muslim Brotherhood while lecturing the military about "killing civilians." During the time Mohamed Morsi was in power, the United States sent F-16 fighter jets to the country and billions of dollars in aid. Shortly before the military overthrew Morsi, that aid was halted.
But is it really innocent civilians and "peaceful protestors" who have been killed by the Egyptian military in the streets? Hardly, the Muslim Brotherhood is only making it lookthat way. The Brotherhood has been using the media to portray itself in a positive light while wreaking havoc on Coptic Christians, government installations and police. A young woman in Egypt, who asked to remain anonymous due to fears of the Brotherhood retaliating against her, contacted me this week to explain. I asked her if the violence in the streets was a result of the Muslim Brotherhood attacking people, rather than the military, she said yes.
"They [members of the Muslim Brotherhood] are firing first," she said.
The young woman also explained how the sit-in of "protesters" was used by the Muslim Brotherhood to hide and portray themselves as victims. She said members of the Brotherhood would leave the sit-in, kill people in the streets and return to the sit-in

deal - the 27-year extension of SkyCity's exclusive Auckland casino licence - was being similarly undervalued. Across the ditch, casino licences have sold for hundreds of millions of dollars.
But Steven Joyce, the Minister of Economic Development, defends the valuations. "Our assessment, and [that of independent consultant] KordaMentha, is that it is a fair deal for both parties."
As one would expect, SkyCity echoes the minister's "fair deal for all" assessment.
Signed on July 6, the deal commits SkyCity to foot the $402 million cost of building and operating the New Zealand International Convention Centre in Auckland. In return, it received a suite of concessions.
These included the rights to operate 230 extra poker machines, 40 new gambling tables, a casino tax freeze for seven years, allowing technological advances that will generatemore revenue, and the crucial extension, until 2048, of SkyCity's exclusive Auckland casino licence.
The agreement is not quite a finished deal as it requires a law change. A bill enabling the deal passed its first reading this month and is expected to become law by the end of the year.
Papers released by the Government this month detailed the terms of the final deal, including the total value of SkyCity costs and the regulatory concessions it gained.
Offsetting the $402m development costs, SkyCity's gaming concessions were estimated at $370m and the extension to its gaming licence at $90m. When all other factors were thrown in, the deal ended up $67m in SkyCity's favour. This was labelled a premium for the risk it was taking on the development.

says.
It is hard to dispute Morrison's original bluff paid off.
He sometimes gambles himself, though the former accountant knows the odds are stacked. He admits to occasionally playing the pokies and roulette at rival casinos (he is not allowed to gamble in his own). "I'm a bit of a mug punter, like that."
SkyCity Entertainment Group announced in December that it had reached agreement over the development after 2 years of negotiations, subject to approvals.
The agreement "levels the playing field with our regional competitors", chief executive Nigel Morrison said at the time.
Yesterday, South Australia's legislators passed the Statute Amendment (Gambling Reform) Act, allowing SkyCity a 20-year extension to its exclusive licence for the Adelaide Casino to 2035, the introduction of cashless gaming, lower taxes on VIP gambling, and an increasein the number of poker machines and gaming tables.
"SkyCity will invest over A$300 million (NZ$344m) to transform the Adelaide Casino into a world-class integrated entertainment complex, which will include Adelaide's first six-star boutique hotel, celebrity and signature restaurants, world-class VIP gaming experiences . . . all as part of the new entertainment precinct on the banks of the River Torrens," Morrison said.
These kinds of integrated entertainment complexes were vital to attracting high-end Asian tourists, he said. "Our development will help South Australia attract a greater share of this lucrative . . . market."
The deal would create jobs and economic growth and complement the redeveloped Adelaide Oval and the new and expanded Adelaide Convention Centre, Morrison said.

Crystal Dangerfield is quick to remind everyone that she has played in a number of big games in high school and for USA Basketball. "Big stage. Big game. I love games like this," she said Thursday. David Butler II-USA TODAY Sports
Auriemma sounds as if he's got as many voices in his head as the tortured Gollum. But college basketball's Lord of the Rings might have his latest freshman gem in Crystal Dangerfield.
The 5-foot-5 Dangerfield might have been the smallest player on the court, but no one played bigger as the freshman scored 9 of her 19 points in the second half to lead UConn to a 72-61 victory over Baylor.
The third-ranked Huskies (2-0) extended their winning streak to 77 by breaking opena guard as there is in the country coming in." Geno Auriemma on freshman Crystal Dangerfield
She reminded reporters that she has played in big games for USA Basketball, won Tennessee state championships in high school and plenty of other big games in a prolific high school career that included a scoring record of 2,186 points at Blackman High School.
"A game like that didn't faze me," Dangerfield said after beating Baylor. "Big stage. Big game. I love games like this."
When UConn struggled in the first half and headed into the locker room at intermission looking vulnerable with a 32-29 lead, Dangerfield was one of the bright spots for the Huskies with 10 points.

the stress of the contrasting colors in this passage may only serve to reinforce to the readers that this couple doesn't really belong in that room, by flaunting their nonconformity to societal fashion. Later in the same chapter (30), a short while after the dramatic entrance, we're told that the "men generally wore dark clothing, and the women generally wore colors."
The royal couple are also shown, standing side by side, in white and black on the book's cover (at least, for the edition that I was reading):
(img src)
Does the use of these two colors for Ruin and Preservation, as well as for Vin and Elend, signify a link between these two pairs?
A:
I think that this color scheme reflects a larger theme in the book (and, indeed, the series);streets. She becomes, of necessity, incredibly hard and street-smart. After discovering her Mistborn abilities and training under Kelsier, she becomes a super-powered assassin and warrior. These are violent and destructive elements of personality and identity; these might belong to Ruin. She describes herself as a "knife" more than a few times ("She was a knife -- Elend's knife, the Final Empire's knife." -chapter 3).
On the other hand, when she attends her first ball (posing as a noble), she discovers this tremendous affinity for the social life, and for dressing up and dancing. Her struggle to understand how this soft, Preservation-linked1 side of herself fits with the warrior side is discussed many times in all three books of the series. For example, in chapter 27 of The Hero of

USRBC Statement on the Passing of Robert Strauss
U.S.-Russia Business Council. (PRNewsFoto/U.S.-Russia Business Council)
WASHINGTON, March 20, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- It was with sadness that we learned today of the passing of Bob Strauss, whose legendary career spanned business, politics and diplomacy. He left a lasting mark on relations between Russia and the United States as America's first Ambassador to the Russian Federation and the first Chairman of the U.S.-Russia Business Council. His selfless offer to chair the Council conferred immediate stature and credibility to the organization. His leadership helped guide the Council's work for over a decade as it grew and brought together business leaders from both nations.
His contemporaries recalled today that Bob Strauss distinguished himself with grace, dignity and thoughtfulness, as well as a disarming sense of humorwhich helped our organization overcome some difficult moments. His vision was to increase trade and investment for the greater good of both Russians and Americans. We remain hopeful that his long-term goal can be realized, despite today's difficulties.
Bob Strauss was often quoted and it is fitting to recall his words from a lecture delivered in 1993: "Bridging the great divide (between the United States and Russia) will not be easy; it will not be quick. But it will be the pressing challenge of the future." We are deeply grateful for Bob Strauss's commitment to building bridges between the American and Russian peoples and his years of service to our member companies. On behalf of the entire U.S.-Russian Business Council, we offer condolences to the Strauss family.
The U.S.-Russia Business

the need for retractors or a lumbar drain. An optimal trajectory was chosen to the center of the lesion using the previously described two-point method and the neuronavigation guidance system \[[@REF1]\]. Given the anatomical configuration of this particular mass deep within the pons, the middle cerebellar peduncle was entered to access the lesion, a procedure that is relatively well-tolerated in most patients. After cauterization of a small portion of the pia with bipolar electrocautery, the middle cerebellar peduncle was entered using a combination of bipolars and suction. A partially hemorrhagic, well-circumscribed lesion was encountered deep within the pons. A combination of cupped dissectors and toothed forceps allowed the specimen to be circumferentially dissected from the surrounding brainstem, with an excellent plane, and to be removed as a singlemass. The microscope was angled, and lighted suction was used to inspect the resection cavity for residual disease. After documentation of minimal bleeding within the resection cavity, the dura and skin were closed in a watertight fashion and the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit for overnight monitoring.
Postoperatively, the patient suffered transient 6th and 7th nerve palsy on the left, right-sided hemiparesis, and continued right-sided paresthesia. On postoperative day 5, she was discharged to a rehabilitation facility. With physical therapy, her neurological deficits rapidly subsided. At her two-month follow-up clinic visit, she had normal facial symmetry, no diplopia with left lateral gaze, normal gait, and normal strength in all extremities.

MANILA - The joint investigation of the Philippines and China on the Recto Bank incident, wherein a Chinese vessel allegedly sunk a boat of 22 Filipino fishermen and left the Filipinos adrift at the West Philippine Sea, was described as a "joke" by a former top official of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
Dr. Wilfredo Villacorta, deputy secretary-general of ASEAN from 2003-2006 and former ambassador and representative to the international body, said the joint probe of the two countries is strange and unheard of, and is also a "laughing stock" in international relations.
"It (joint Philippine-China probe) is a joke. The accused being part of the investigation? I've never heard [of] any such situation, [even] in the movies," Villacorta told ANC.
Villacorta, a professor emeritus of De La Salle"shortage of UK staff" in the NHS was the reasoning behind the move.
According to recent figures from the Health Service Journal, some NHS trusts have been operating with vacancy rates as high as one in four, leaving ambulance services to head abroad to find staff.
Mitchell Hand, a graduate paramedic from Sydney set to treat patients on the road today, said he saw London "as a great place to start my career".
"It’s the busiest ambulance service in the world and there are many different opportunities such as working on a motorbike, cycle or car or for the hazardous area response team, which we don’t get back home," he added.
The Service's Director of Operations Jason Killens said the scheme had been a "success" and confirmed they would be going back

Pitlyk did not return messages seeking comment last month.
Representatives of U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley and U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt, both Republicans, also did not return messages last month seeking comment. On Twitter, both praised Pitlyk Wednesday.
Pitlyk graduated summa cum laude from Boston College before receiving master’s degrees in philosophy from Georgetown University and in applied biomedical ethics from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium, where she was a Fulbright Scholar, her bio says.
She graduated from Yale in 2008. Students for Life lauded the announcement Thursday, saying Pitlyk founded Yale Law Students for Life.
Pitlyk practiced food and drug regulatory law at the Covington & Burling firm in Washington and clerked for Brett M. Kavanaugh, who was an appeals court judge at the time and now sits on the U.S."window of time."

judgment on liability.
THE CONTRACTUAL PROVISIONS
Counsel for The Limited and for Lazard, the managing underwriter, collaborated on drafting the Indenture and Debenture. An Ohio firm represented The Limited. A New York City firm represented Lazard.
Discovery has revealed that for the most part, both firms in their drafting drew upon the Model Simplified Indenture ("MSI") prepared in the 1983 by the Section of Corporation, Banking and Business Law of the American Bar Association. The MSI and accompanying Notes are printed in 38 Bus.Law. 741-813 (1983).
On July 1, 1985, attorneys representing The Limited and Lazard found themselves in the offices of Corporate Printing, the financial printer for the offering. Final changes were being made to the Registration Statement, Prospectus, and Indenture, in anticipation of the documents becoming effective the following day.
Ininterest payment date even though Securities are cancelled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Securityholders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. However, the Company may pay principal and interest by check payable in such money. It may mail an interest check to a Securityholder's registered address."
The Debenture also provided:

Five protesters, including City Councilmember Brad Lander, were arrested for blocking the street outside State Senator Marty Golden's office on Friday morning during a 24-hour vigil led by Families for Safe Streets founder Amy Cohen, and other parents who have lost children to reckless drivers.
The protesters, who ended their round-the-clock demonstration by linking arms in the street in front of Golden's office, are calling on the city's leading GOP state senator to return to Albany for a special session to renew and expand the speed camera program. The cameras will likely be turned off next month if no action is taken, despite widespread consensus that they serve as an effective deterrent to reckless drivers. In the 140 school zones with cameras, fatalities and serious injuries are down byand traffic lights. He is co-sponsoring legislation that would do just that, which would mean an end to the cameras within six months.
The spokesperson did not respond to a question about whether Golden supports a return to Albany for a special session to reauthorize the program. The speed cameras will be turned off on July 25th of the senate does nothing.
Golden has still not directly addressed the protesters, many of them family members of children killed by reckless drivers. On Thursday evening, he tweeted and deleted a message to those outside his office, telling them, "You people can't even 'protest' properly anymore."
An NYPD spokesperson said the five people arrested were charged with disorderly conduct and failure to disperse.

These tax records weren't easy reads. They were written on huge parchment rolls, created from the skin of more than 200 sheep. Each segment on the roll was 6.5 feet (2 meters) long and had ink so faint that it was visible only under ultraviolet light.
"First time I read the roll, I almost missed it," Condon said in a statement. "These rolls are beasts to deal with, but also precious and irreplaceable documents. Handling them, it sometimes feels like you're wrestling, very gently, with an obstreperous [boisterous] baby elephant!"

Ruddock spent years researching England's first voyages to North America, but she ordered that all her unpublished work be destroyed at the time of her death. Her orders were followed, but her will specified that a book could go forward if it were in press. Ruddock never submitted that book, but she did submit a synopsis for one, and this was shared with Jones. Intriguingly, in one of her findings, she stated that Cabot had explored much of North America's east coast by 1500.
In another one of her claims, Ruddock said that a group of Italian friars who sailed with Cabot on his 1498 expedition went on to found

new item is needed (probably "him"). This minimalist role of the teacher has led some critics to describe Silent Way teachers as "aloof" and, indeed, this apparently excessive degree of self-restraint can be seen as such.The prominent writer on language teaching, Earl W. Stevick, has described the role of the teacher in Silent Way as "Teach, test, get out of the way". The apparent lack of real communication in the approach has also been criticized, with some arguing that it is difficult to take the approach beyond the very basics of the language, with only highly motivated learners being able to generate real communication from the rigid structures illustrated by the rods. The fact that, for logistical reasons, it is limited to relatively small groups of learners isdesires to use his radiotelephone to place a call from his hotel room to a restaurant across the street will incur roamer charges for accessing the CMR system outside of his carrier's geographical coverage area, a fee for relaying the call from Los Angeles back to his carrier's mobile switching center in the Atlanta area, a fee for relaying the call from Atlanta back to the restaurant across the street from the caller in Los Angeles, all in addition to a per minute usage fee. Again, had the subscriber placed this call from his hotel room to the restaurant across the street via a conventional telephone linked directly to the PSTN, the call would have been deemed “local” and would have incurred no carrier-related fees.

By the time she was taken into care in June 2012, her mother and grandmother had reported her missing from home 71 times. Identified as vulnerable by teachers and social workers, she spent more time at a local youth mentoring programme than she did at school, she told detectives.
She was first visited by police in April 2011 and warned about the dangers of associating with older men who might buy her presents in return for sexual favours. In January 2012 she was referred to the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service at Bradford council by a pastoral support worker at her school.
SheThe Clippers are expected to sign rookie Nick Fazekas, a 6-foot-11 center who was the Dallas Mavericks' 2007 second-round pick, to a 10-day contract Wednesday. Fazekas played in four games with the Mavericks but spent most of this season with the Mavericks' Developmental League affiliate Tulsa 66ers.
Fazekas started 24 of the 28 games he played with Tulsa and averaged 19.9 points and 9.9 rebounds. He was selected to play in the D-League all-star game earlier this month in New Orleans, but he did not play. Dallas waived Fazekas a week ago.
"He can shoot the ball, and he has some (low-post) skills," Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy said. "Plus he's a rookie."

record, this is a pretty good spark of hope.
Fazekas had an incredible PER rating in college. There were a lot of reports of teams thinking of taking him in the first round, and he has a lot of talent and upside. He's even drawn comparisons to former Clipper Vladimir Radmanovic. I'm still pretty miffed at Baylor, but this was a pretty dece move.Senate rules, it is the senators themselves who have the first and last word. They establish the procedures for the trial and can, by majority vote, overturn any of the chief justice's rulings. The extent of the chief's powerlessness was driven home to Chief Justice William Rehnquist at the beginning of President Bill Clinton's Senate impeachment trial in 1999.
When Rehnquist asked Senate Sergeant at Arms James Ziglar how to turn on his microphone, Ziglar replied, "You don't. We control that."
"I don't know if 'shock' is the right word," Ziglar recalls, but Rehnquist certainly had "a sense of dismay" that even though he was going to be the presiding officer at the trial, "he really had absolutely no control of his courtroom."

no stranger to the subject of impeachment. He had written a book about the 1868 impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson, and just five years before presiding over the Clinton trial in the Senate, he had written the Supreme Court's decision declaring that under the Constitution, the courts have no power to dictate the Senate rules in an impeachment proceeding.
As the presiding officer at the Clinton trial, Rehnquist relied heavily on the Senate parliamentarians for guidance. "I think he enjoyed sort of being part of history in that sense. But he understood he had a very limited role," says Robert Schaffer, one of Rehnquist's law clerks back then.
Washington University law professor Neil Richards, another former clerk, recalls that "no matter how boring or tedious the proceedings," the chiefthe chief justice to lunch.
"And I said to him, 'Chief, what can I do to make you less grumpy?' And he said, 'Well, I love cookies-and-cream ice cream ... and chocolate chip cookies.' " After that, whenever there was a break, Ziglar would trigger the call for ice cream and cookies, and it seemed to work.
Not enough, though, to deal with the boredom of those unplanned breaks. On one occasion, Ziglar found the chief, with his three clerks, sitting in shirtsleeves in the ornate gilded room assigned to them during the trial. They were playing poker.
"I looked at him and smiled," recalls Ziglar.
"You may not know this," Ziglar gently told the chief justice, "but I'm also the chief law enforcement officer in the Senate," and gambling is illegal

A man whose parents emigrated to California in the 1970s is seeking to become the first Muslim Republican in Congress, attempting to unseat Democratic Rep. Scott Peters.
Omar Qudrat, whose parents came to Los Angeles from Afghanistan, is a former Department of Defense counter-terrorism prosecutor and served in Afghanistan as a civilian in 2011-12.
Qudrat said Thursday that the media is trying to give his opponent a "free pass," lamenting the failed liberal policies that have brought the state "to near total destruction," with rising homelessness in major cities and an "exodus" of small businesses.

Qudrat said Peters wants to "stoke social tensions" and make Republicans feel they're "racist" for wanting tougher border security. He said illegal drugs, like fentanyl, are coming across the border every day and San Diegans are dying as a result.
He said Peters is avoiding a debate with him because he cannot go "toe-to-toe" with him on important issues.

play written by Wittig, and directed with Sande Zeig, was performed at Haybarn Theatre, Goddard College. It was shown shortly afterwards (May-June 1985) in Paris, at the Théâtre du Rond Point.
Virgile, Non was also published the same year, presenting the protagonist – Wittig – as she embarks on a Dantean, katabatic journey. However, in this version, Wittig faces the horrors of recent history (for example World War II and colonialism), and the incessant suppression of women’s needs and individualities. Wittig’s failed attempts to save the damned souls highlight the fact that freedom cannot be imposed on others. The text is replete with intertextual references to San Francisco, women’s movements, and even to Anita Bryant’s homophobic campaign. Wittig’s essay collection was published in English in 1992 (The Straight Mindand Other Essays (Boston: Beacon Press, 1992)), bringing together texts previously published in various journals, or delivered at conferences. The essays cast an important light on Wittig’s work as a writer, but also as an activist and radical, material feminist. Her collection of short stories was published in 1999 by POL – Paris-la-politique – continuing the vein of her previous novels. In 2001, the French translation of The Straight Mind was published by Éditions Balland, as La Pensée Straight. The same year, Sande Zeig’s film The Girl was released, with a screenplay by Wittig and Zeig. Also in 2001, the first conference focusing exclusively on Wittig’s work was organised in Paris, bringing together speakers from Europe and North America.

New Zealand legislators passed a bill on Wednesday that would legalise euthanasia, paving the way for the public to vote on the issue in a referendum next year.
The bill, which enables terminally ill people to request a medically assisted death, was passed 69-51 in parliament, after several amendments and years of heated debate.
Previous attempts by legislators to legalise euthanasia have failed, and when the bill was introduced in parliament again in 2017 it was met with several concerns, including the possible vulnerability of elderly patients being coerced.
The bill has since been amended with what its sponsors say are safeguards, including a requirement that patients be diagnosed as having less than six months left to live.
The patient must be the first to suggest assisted dying, and two doctors mustQ:

Today, they stand out as the more important paintings ever to come out of Vienna.
1883: Klimt, his brother Ernst and Franz Matsch form the Känstlercompanie (Company of Artists) and start a productive cooperation. Works for theaters, churches and museums were ordered by several patrons.
1886-1892: Klimt executes mural decorations for staircases at the Burgtheater and the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. He contributes for a series called Allegories and Emblems. Its success leads to a second large order, containing Klimt’s painting “Tragedy”, announcing all of his stylistic characteristics: gold paint, areas of detail and areas of abstract space, symbolism, the female figure.
1905: Several artists and Klimt himself resign from Secession and form a new association called “Kunstschau” (Art Show)

After studying at the Institute of Industrial Arts and the Marionette Faculty of the Prague Academy of Fine Arts in the 1950s, Jan Svankmajer started working as a theatre director, chiefly in association with the Theatre of Masks and the Black Theatre. He first experimented with film-making after becoming involved with the mixed-media productions of Prague’s Lanterna Magika Theatre. He began making short films in 1964, and continued working in the same medium for over twenty years, when he finally achieved his long-held ambition to make a feature film based on Lewis Carroll‘s Alice in Wonderland (Alice (1988)). He has also exhibited his drawings, collages and ‘tactile sculptures’, many of which were produced in

to pose the greatest threat to the human skin in terms of sunburn, aging, and skin cancers. Regardless, ultraviolet radiation of all types can cause the generation of damaging free radicals. These molecular fragments are highly reactive and are known to degrade human tissue by causing destruction at both cellular and molecular levels.
Modern lifestyle has contributed to skin damage due to increased exposure to ultraviolet radiation. It is believed that there are at least two reasons for the heightening of the problem. First, while the early part of the present century taught that fairness of skin, as an attribute of the privileged class, was a desirable feature causing people to avoid exposure to the sun, attitudes changed by the 1920's such that a "healthy tan" began to beregarded as a desirable feature. Suntanning became a popular pastime, and bathers began to seek out sunny climes. Outdoor activities such as golf, camping, tennis, and swimming also captured increased interest in the 1950's.
As a practical matter, ultraviolet exposure occurs during all daylight hours, and includes both reflected and direct light. In reality, the majority of sun exposure during one's lifetime most probably occurs when people are not paying attention--at school or work, on a playground, out shopping, while talking to a neighbor out-of-doors, even while driving a car. The fact is that we are exposed to ultraviolet light from almost every direction every daylight hour. (The inventors regard this as "insensible" exposure.)
A second possible reason for the increase of damage due to ultraviolet radiation is due to

OverviewAlthough Bob Ho is a former CIA spy, he hasn't yet tackled his most complicated and challenging mission yet: Taking care of his current girlfriend's three children. The children aren't exactly big fans of Bob Ho just yet, and things get even more complicated when one of the kids accidentally downloads a formula that has been kept top secret. After the incident, a Russian terrorist, who also happens to be Bob Ho's biggest nemesis, comes to town.Britain's Supreme Court reject a third and final appeal by four anti-Israel activists, who were convicted for criminal trespass after chaining themselves to the shop of Israeli cosmetics company Ahava.
The incident - in which the activists chained themselves to a concrete block outside the shop in central London's Covent Garden - took place in 2011, after four years of demonstrations by radical anti-Israel groups calling for shoppers to boycott Ahava. Anti-Zionist groups claimed the company was committing "war crimes" due to the presence of a factory in Mitzpe Shalom by the Dead Sea in Judea, east of Hevron.
The demonstrators also said Ahava's products were "misleadingly labeled" as being Made in Israel, due to the factory's presence beyond the 1949 Armistice Lines (or "Green Line"). The company's London store

Match analysis and player characteristics in rugby sevens.
Rugby sevens is a contact sport contested by two teams of seven players who compete over two 7-min halves, most frequently played in a tournament style. The IRB Sevens World Series is thought of as the preeminent rugby sevens competition in the world and has grown in competitiveness from its inception in 2000. The decision to include rugby sevens in the 2016 Olympics is likely to increase the global profile and participation in the game. Many rugby sevens players concurrently compete in 15-a-side rugby union as backs and loose forwards; however, a continued increase in the popularity of rugby sevens will likely see the emergence of the specialist rugby sevens player. Often thought of as the abbreviated version of rugby union,rugby sevens is played under nearly identical laws and on the same field dimensions as the 15-man code. However, research has shown the movement demands of rugby sevens and rugby union are dissimilar, with rugby sevens players spending a larger proportion of the game running at high intensity (≥ 5 m s(-1)). Given the dissimilarity in match demands in conjunction with differences in the competition structure between the codes, it appears the considerable depth of literature specific to performance in rugby union may be of little value for the preparation of rugby sevens players. Investigations of the physical characteristics of rugby sevens players show backs are lighter and shorter than forwards, while players across all positions possess a lean body composition. International rugby sevens players have similar speed

City, Mo., had been married six
times and that one of his ex-wives had filed a restraining order
against him. He was ordered to have no contact with her and to stay away from her home.
"The man had been married six times, which really is no sin, you know. But it was surprising, because that information wasn't furnished us on the initial go-around and I understand that one of the marriages ended up in a very bitter situation where there was a restraining order issued. All of this did not reflect well on Mr. Watkins," Clement said.
Clement said City Manager Marcia Conner confronted Watkins with the information Wednesday, after he attended a police promotion ceremony.
"According to the city manager, he said 'I don't need to put up with this.' Hecalled his wife and, according to the manager, talked to his wife and they decided he would resign," Clement said.
Clement said he would like to see the search process start over again.
Watkins applied for the Durham job after retiring from a 30-year career on the Kansas City force in June.
The Bull City had been without a permanent chief since January. Chief Teresa Chambers left the post, for which she was hired in 1997, to head the park police department in Washington, D.C.
Former Durham Police Chief Jackie McNeil retired in February 1997 amid allegations of sexual harassment and racism inside the department. Several lawsuits filed against McNeil were later dropped.
Before McNeil, Trevor Hampton held the post. He resigned because of public pressure and controversy after serving as Durham's police

Banking on Pudge Signing Ivan Rodriguez to a rich contract was a shift in philosophy for the Tigers, but was it a smart move?
Bizarre as it may be, the accepted wisdom that a woodchuck can make an accurate long-term weather forecast seemed more believable than another Groundhog Day head-scratcher: a run on Tigers tickets. Telephones in the Detroit ticket office rang so incessantly on Feb. 2--after the team had signed free-agent catcher Ivan Rodriguez--that supervisors from other departments were summoned for backup. The Tigers sold $160,000 worth of tickets, a one-day record for the franchise.
The fans' reaction confirmed why a team that lost an American League-record 119 games last season would, belatedly, pay an average of $10 million a year to a 32-year-old catcher who has a historyof back trouble and is past his prime. The Tigers may still be awful in 2004, but Rodriguez brings an identity to a team that has lost 1.1 million paying customers in the three years since Comerica Park opened.
"He steps in as our leader," Detroit president and general manager Dave Dombrowski says. "We have Dmitri Young, and Rondell White was an All-Star last year, but nobody else has the credentials of Pudge Rodriguez."
When he arrived before the 2002 season, Dombrowski planned to rebuild the team from within. But after last year's debacle he realized that the organization lacked even a potential impact performer and that some of the young players given major league jobs in '03 weren't ready for them.
Still, when Scott Boras, Rodriguez's agent, called in November

"Now that it's worked itself out, [Maryland] will see less volatility in the job growth," he said.
Less volatile, but not robust, he added. Maryland has added 2,500 jobs during the first seven months of this year, compared with 16,300 for the corresponding period a year ago. Bohnaker said he expects the state to see a total gain of 7,000 jobs for the rest of the year.
"That's still pretty weak when it's spread out over five months," he said. "I wouldn't expect more than that. If anything, the risks are on the downside."
PNC's Faucher added that the disconcerting news is that Maryland's unemployment rate rose even though its labor force contracted.

Gaines plans protest for further investigation into son’s death
Gaines plans protest for further investigation into son’s death
ASHEBORO — Kathy Gaines will lead a protest Friday to call attention to her efforts to convince authorities that her son’s death was not an accidental drowning, but a homicide.
The protest begins at 10 a.m. on Worth Street in front of the historic old courthouse.
Jesse Lee Maness, 24, from Bennett, was reported missing on Oct. 13, 2012, when he did not return from a night out with friends in Siler City. His body was found on Oct. 19, 2012, in a creek bed just inside Randolph County. He was last seen leaving a Siler City restaurant around 2 a.m. on Oct. 13.
According to the N.C. Highway Patrol investigation at the time, Maness’was completed at Trauma Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University. Every skeletally mature patient with a tibia fracture who underwent treatment with an intramedullary nail between January 2014 and December 2016 was identified. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University and conducted in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975 as revised in 2013.
Tibia fractures were graded according to the Orthopaedic Trauma Association Classification (OTA/AO) scheme based on the initial injury films and computed tomography (CT) \[[@CR16]\]. Inclusion criteria included extraarticular tibia fractures (OTA). Exclusion criteria included prior fracture of ipsilateral tibia, open fracture, intra-articular tibia fracture, pathological fracture, multiple trauma, and insufficient radiographic or chart data.
Patients were divided into two groups: those treated

In 1993, the Sierra Leone National AIDS Control Programme reported an 8.4% national seroprevalence rate \[[@CR2]\]. That study was conducted during a period of civil war in Sierra Leone (1991--2002), when rape and multiple perpetrator rape were commonplace \[[@CR3]\]. Surveys undertaken as the civil conflict was ending showed decreasing rates of HIV seroprevalence \[[@CR4]\]. However, the inability of researchers to access participants from all demographics during this time of conflict led to concern that the sampled population did not accurately represent the national population as a whole.
In April 2002, the first national survey of HIV prevalence in Sierra Leone was conducted by the Sierra Leone Ministry of

Brrrrrrrrrrr!The romanians acknowledge all that, and present horror shows from his activities. Yet they do try hard to soften this side of his character by claiming that it was impossible to maintain order without heavy punishment of the bad guys , and that the Germans who hated Vlad, were those who invented and promoted his image as a blood thirsty prince and vampire.

How the Lord's Prayer saved a 9/11 survivor
The annual "Tribute in Light" is illuminated Sept. 10 during events marking the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York. (CNS/Reuters/Gary Hershorn)
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. -- For John Mahony, a retired U.S. Army colonel who was managing projects for Blue Cross/Blue Shield, instinct came before analysis as he fought to stay on his feet the morning of Sept. 11, 2001.
"The building jerked hard, throwing everyone off balance," remembers Mahony in the account he has written of surviving the 9/11 attacks.
Mahony was working on the 19th floor of the North Tower of the World Trade Center that morning.
"My support was gone, and I had to catch my balance to remain on my feet."
Mahony had lived inCalifornia. "Earthquake," he thought, even as his military training diagnosed "bomb."
Mahony directed his co-workers to a stairway, checked the area for anyone else, and headed down through what was quickly a haze of smoke and dust.
This was when his daily habit of saying the Lord's Prayer bobbed to the surface of his mind, providing a grillwork of stability in the midst of the writhing building.
"As I stepped into that smoky stairway, the Lord's Prayer ran through my mind; over and over and over: 'Thy will be done.' At first, I could only get through part of the prayer. But after a few floors, prayer relaxed me and I was able to say it completely."
On what will always be the worst day of his life, Mahony also saw great

from being swept off their feet from the waterfalls that ran down the steps.
Firefighters, breathing hard, passed them going up.
But out of the chaos, to the rhythm of the Lord's Prayer, Mahony sensed something that reminded him of when his mother would wrap him up as he'd climb out of a cold swimming pool, and he would be held, safe and warm, in loving arms.
"As I walked down that stair, somewhere between the 12th floor and the 10th, somewhere between 'Our Father' and 'Thy will be done,' that same feeling came over me. Suddenly, I was wrapped in warmth, and love, and comfort. In that smoky, wet stairway, in a burning building, surrounded by a thousand frightened people; I felt wonder. I felt God's peace, and I knewthat regardless of the physical outcome, everything would be all right."
The group came out into a smashed lobby, service elevator shafts open and filled with rubble.
A firefighter directed him to a side door, saying he couldn't go out the front; people were jumping.
"I moved through the rubble of the lobby vaguely registering impressions of a woman receiving oxygen, a heavyset woman crying as she was carried over the back of a co-worker, another who was so badly burned that I could not tell the original color of her skin."
Outside, he ran through a scene, he said, from a post-apocalyptic movie: cars on fire, chunks of metal and glass in the street, lots of shoes. He had just crossed the street to the far side when the sound of

The extent and effects of peer pressure among high school students: A retrospective analysis.
Although people assume that peer pressure is an influential component of adolescent development, few empirical studies have investigated the nature and extent of its influence. Using retrospective accounts from 297 college undergraduates, the present study assessed how much pressure peers exerted in numerous areas of high school life and how this pressure influenced teenagers' attitudes and behaviors. One-third of both genders identified peer pressure as one of the hardest things they had to face as a teenager. Generally, however, peer pressure appeared stronger for females than males, and the genders disagreed about the areas in which pressure was strongest. Perceptions of peer pressure were significantly associated with dating attitudes, sexual activity, and use of drugsThe quality of the last year of life of older persons.
Researchers have begun devising measures of the quality of the entire last year of life of older community residents. Investigators in Philadelphia surveyed 150 living elderly on features of their quality of life, and matched the responses with 200 retrospective estimates obtained from relatives of decedents who had resided in the community much of the year. Most indicators showed declines for the decreased over their final year when compared with persons still alive; 82 percent of the decedents, however, experienced a majority of "positive-quality" months in their last year. Debates on the costs and ethical aspects of treatment and care need to take account of "positive" and "negative" aspects of quality of life reflecting individuals' multifaceted existence.

Strata Diocletiana
The Strata Diocletiana (Latin for "Road of Diocletian") was a fortified road that ran along the eastern desert border, the limes Arabicus, of the Roman Empire. As its name suggests and as it appears on milestones, it was constructed under Emperor Diocletian (r. 284–305) as part of a wide-ranging fortification drive in the later Roman Empire. The strata was lined with a series of similarly-built rectangular forts () situated at one day's march (ca. 20 Roman miles) from each other. It began at the southern bank of the river Euphrates and stretched south and west, passing east of Palmyra and Damascus down to northeast Arabia.

Historical evidence that Eleanor followed her grandfather in the troubadour tradition and administered cases of courtly love along with her daughter Marie just doesn’t exist. Evans says this legend had for the most part had died out until Amy Kelly’s biography “Eleanor of Aquitaine and the Four Kings” was published in 1950. She reinvigorated this fable and gave it new life.
Evans addresses the notion that Eleanor was from the south of France, spoke the Occitan dialect of French and brought southern culture to her husband Louis’ backward court in Paris. He convincingly argues that Eleanor lived and identified with the culture of Poitiers which was on the dividing line between the areas of France that spokeQueen's Favourite Animals

GAO Report Edition
The 1978 GAO Report on the metric system has a chapter about metric construction. The first two sentences summarize the importance of construction:
The building and construction industry is one of the largest contributors to the gross national product. In 1976 new construction was valued at $147.5 billion, about 9 percent of the gross national product.
From 2005 to 2011 the percent of GDP from construction has varied from 5% to 9%.
Often I’ve wondered how many times over we could have had a gold-plated metric change-over using the money saved from 1905 onward if John Shafroth and his allies had converted the US to the metric system in the early twentieth century. The Australians have saved about 10% to 15% year on year from the

In Russia, Pro-Putin Youths Protest Mormons As 'Cult'
Activists from the Young Guard, which supports Russian President Vladimir Putin, have been protesting the Mormon church in Russia, calling it a "totalitarian cult."
Konstantin ZavrazhinGetty Images
Young supporters of Russian President Vladimir Putin have staged several protests this month outside Mormon meeting houses, claiming that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is an "authoritarian sect" with connections to the CIA and FBI.
The protesters are members of the Young Guard, a youth organization of Putin's United Russia Party. They insist their actions have nothing to do with Mitt Romney, the Republican candidate and Mormon who called Russia the "No. 1 geopolitical foe" of the U.S.
Ekaterina Stenyakina, the co-chair of the Young Guard, says the group was inspiredand that they believe in multiple gods. The Young Guard's twist on this anti-Mormonism is the claim that Mormons are promoting an American political agenda in Russia.
"This is absolutely wrong, false [and] not true," says Andrey Filimonov, an LDS spokesman for Eastern Europe, based in Moscow. "The church in every country has nothing to do with political issues at all."
Filimonov points to the church's statement of political neutrality, which is published in every country where Mormons preach.
Stenyakina says the Young Guard sees the Mormon Church as an American enterprise, funded from the United States, with missionaries who act as American operatives. She says they would come under a recently passed Russian law that requires such groups to register as foreign agents.
Filimonov argues that the church is not American,

subsequent Pentagon/AFRICOM investigation claimed that those killed were all enemy combatants. Who's telling the truth? But more importantly, why are American troops even operating in a country like Somalia.
There are no legitimate threats to the US in Somalia. The only threats will come if the US continues to kill civilians, which leads to radicalization of the population. More in today's Ron Paul Liberty Report:
MOGADISHU (November 30, 2017) -- The US Africa Command (Africom) on Wednesday denied allegations that an operation carried out in August by American troops in Somalia resulted in civilian deaths.
"After a thorough assessment of the Somali National army-led operation near Bariire, Somalia, on Aug. 25, 2017 and the associated allegations of civilian casualties, US Special Operations Command Africa (SOCAF) has concluded that the only casualtieswere those of armed enemy combatants," Africom said in a statement.
Africom's statement came after the American news website The Daily Beast reported earlier in the day that there was strong evidence the US-led operation resulted in the deaths of 10 civilians, including at least one child.
Citing unnamed sources, The Daily Beast said US Navy Seals fired on unarmed farmers in the village and then took pictures of those shot with weapons falsely planted beside their bodies to appear as though they were armed.
In addition, the news website reported that after opening an investigation into the incident, Somalian federal government officials told The Daily Beast the inquiry confirmed that those shot were civilians and its information was buried after the US government put pressure on Somali officials.
However, Africom denied

Hasan Minhaj hadn't always wanted to do comedy; in fact, he didn't even have cable television at home when he was growing up. The family watched plenty of Bollywood films, though; his parents had moved from Aligarh to America not long before he was born, so India was not very far behind them (at his wedding, to his college sweetheart, Minhaj and his troupe of groomsmen danced to "Saajanji Ghar Aaye" from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai). In school, he joined the debate team; he also kept trying out for the basketball team, but he was cut from the selection every year.
When Minhaj was a political science major at the University of California, Davis, he watched Never Scared, a Chris Rock special, and fell in love with comedy.
He startedperforming at open mics when he was 19, shuttling between gigs in his beat-up Nissan Stanza, and he founded a comedy club on campus. (This was a shrewd move: It was a way to invite big-name comics to perform, and to get to know them well in the process.) After he graduated, Minhaj worked for a while in tech support in Palo Alto but quit very rapidly to bet on himself: touring colleges, starting a web series and finally flying to New York to audition for The Daily Show. It was a natural fit. Minhaj is electrically witty, of course, even in conversation, as he's expected to be. But he doesn't so much wisecrack as amplify the exasperation he feels over the state of things around him -

the amusement still in her voice. She visibly — were anyone but the horses looking in her direction — gives in, looking slowly off to the side with her smile brightening warmly despite that very cold. Seconds later and she's picking her way through the snow around Laurie to sprawl in the snow a few feet away — out of the way of his sweeping arms. She keeps her knees bent and plants an ankle atop one, saving corduroy — her wardrobe decidedly less fancy than Laurie's — from much of the clinging snow. Her arms sweep up through the white expanse around her, but pause above her head. Maggie is more interested in the sky and its vast, perfect blue. "When was the last time you madethe name 'Maggie' mean about you…" he muses, instantly in a whole different moment, full of dreamily pondering things that have nothing to do with snowballs. "What does 'Laurie' mean for me… my preference of using it," his fingers tease the front of his coat, a button there, then flop into the snow beside him, cracking one of his wings with non-symmetry, "Your insistence on not…"
Maggie's bent legs make a good target. "Hey— !" she exclaims, more a squeak than a word. The snow knocks her knees over far more than its actual force is remotely capable of, as if she could belatedly escape it— of course she can't; she gets over it in a second. There's a smile still in place as she looks straight into the

Green, a social worker with the Veterans Administration, met Leon at a homeless shelter for vets in Atlanta last April. Like so many veterans, he had untreated mental health issues.
"And so I asked, well, where is your family. And he said, I don't know," she said.
Green searched online, including sending a Facebook message, to four possible family members.
"And the very next day, I get a call from the sister," Green said. "And she's like, 'is this a joke?'"
"I thought it was a hoax," said Sallie. "When I heard his voice, I knew it was real."
The Army family's reunion was 32 years in the making.
"We hugged and told him that I never gave up on him," Sallie said.

Leon said he wasshocked.
"I was shocked, crying on the inside," he said.
Sallie said it was a miracle.
"For her and for me, too," said Leon. "Because I had to go through this. It's just a long, long time that went by."
Leon's sister said all the questions he can't answer don't matter. He's home.

Conversation topics ranged from the philosophical to the practical. One person discussed a friend's suicide, someone else offered her ideas on how best to die, others talked about their feelings surrounding their own death.
"I've struggled with depression and had the passing thought, 'How am I going to spend the next 60 years? How am I going to kill all this time?'" said Stefanie Barrister, a recent New York transplant. "But I have this lovely, wonderful partner and I feel very different now. Even if my partner was to walk away or disappear, I think the experience of being with this person has inspired me to blast off."
Beth Ogando, who described herself as "death-obsessed," talked about her relationship with her late father, whose ashes she keeps ina marble urn in her home.
"I wasn't speaking with my father at the time of his death and he died a really bizarre, unexpected death," Ogando said. "It's actually a great relationship that's been resumed post-mortem with him. We talk about him like he's there, because he is there, he's in the room with us all the time."
Li came to the Cafe with her friend Ashley Murphy, who stumbled upon the event while Googling Starbucks cafe locations. They were both intrigued by the idea. Li is also currently writing a ghost story.

"[This] double-dealing attitude is a dangerous one of driving the situation on the Korean Peninsula to a war phase," KCNA said.
At the ASEAN meeting, nation after nation expressed deep regrets and offered condolences to the South Koreans. The United States has accused North Korea of aggressive behavior and imposed new sanctions Wednesday.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reiterated U.S. support for South Korea on Friday.
"Here in Asia, an isolated and belligerent North Korea has embarked on a campaign of provocative, dangerous behavior," she said in Hanoi, Vietnam.
Later, after a repatriation ceremony for the remains of three soldiers who died in the Vietnam War, Clinton said the door remains open for dialogue if North Korea commits to abandoning itsnuclear weapons program.
"We would love for them to have the same opportunities that the people of South Korea have been able to enjoy for the last 60 years," Clinton said. "So, it is distressing when North Korea continues its threats and causes so much anxiety among its neighbors and the larger region."
Ri described the planned U.S.-South Korea joint military exercise as "another example of a hostile policy" against North Korea.
"It is a grave threat to the Korean peninsula and also to the region of Asia as a whole," he said.
He said the exercise is a threat to North Korea's sovereignty and security.
The military exercise, dubbed Invincible Spirit, is scheduled to run from Sunday through Wednesday. In addition to the 8,000 personnel involved, military officials say, it will include

After Snake defeats her, she bursts out of her suit, and attacks Snake one last time with her bare hands. Like the other BnB battles, the player hadCryptocurrency being scrutinised by lawmakers
According to reports coming from Coin Center and the head of research Peter van Valkenburgh, there have been concerns on the use of cryptocurrencies in Texas given a controversial new law that Texas threatens cryptocurrency users with strict stance on the use of certain cryptocurrencies.
This new law seeks to ban the use of anonymous cryptocurrencies by unidentified parties.
The new bill which goes by the name HB-4371 only affects Texas residence. At the moment, very little is understood about this new legislation which has put the cryptocurrency industry immediately under attack.
According to comments by Valkenburgh during a debate on the issue:
“Putting an undefined identity requirement on individual recipients of payments maybe ok constitutionally(but makes little sense). Person wants to pay you, you ask: and you?

VANCOUVER — A North Shore Rescue supply cache has been broken into and ransacked in Lynn Lake.
All of the ropes inside the cache were taken, and the remaining gear was left out in the elements.
This is the latest in a string of incidents. In late June, thousands of dollars worth of emergency supplies were stolen from North Shore Rescue at their Hanes Valley and Norvan Falls caches within two days. The thieves also vandalized the emergency helicopter landing pad at the Hanes Valley site.
The first two vandalized caches cost North Shore Rescue $20,000.
The entire cache in Lynn Lake has to be replaced.
North Vancouver RCMP continue to investigate.

When the Jesuits discovered Maragondon in 1627, its total land area covers the whole of Naic, Ternate, and Magallanes (Vance; Saulo and De Ocampo, 1990; Medina, 1992). In 1758, the Jesuits founded a community in the western bank of the river (present Barangay Muzon) and made it into a "sitio" with a visita still under Maragondon.
In 1791, the community was finally made into a town with its population still in the western bank. The town was named Naic after the old archaic word "can(ia)ayic" meaning "town near one another" or "the other side" (Medina, 1992), while Alfredo B. Saulo

used in the Pyro Accident at Montreal in 1992, Jaymz get burned with this ESP Explorer Double Neck Guitar during a gig in Montreal on the 8th August '92 when the pyros to the song "Fade To Black" set in. It happened because the pyro-tech didn't inform the band that new pyro would be going along with the old pyro which only ignited along the wings of the stage. James assumed that the new pyro canceled out the previous pyro, so he stood on a point where a 12 foot flame from the old pyro ignited. This ESP Explorer Double Neck Guitar can be seen at Gigs in Mexico 1993. He also used exact the same ESP Explorer Double Neck Guitar ESP EXP model later on Woodstock'94. Sothis guitar either has been restored or rebuild for this show.
This original ESP Explorer Double Neck guitar is a black double-necked ESP Explorer with a mahogany body and a rosewood fretboard. This ESP Explorer Double Neck guitar has 12 strings on the top neck and 6 strings on the bottom neck. The inlays are ducks. It can be seen on the "Binge & Burge" booklet, James Hetfield Only used it on live show "Black Album" gigs. This ESP Explorer Double Neck guitar was exclusively played for the live performance of "Fade To Black".
In difference between this James' ESP Explorer Double Neck guitar and the standard ESP EXP serie, James guitars have set-in necks (glued joint) instead of bolt-on necks. Besides the "Black Album" guitars' fingerboards consist of ebony

won't decide whether CO2 emissions pose a danger until after a new president takes office in January 2009.
Yet at the end of 2007, EPA already had determined that CO2 emissions from vehicles do endanger public health or welfare, agency staff members have told the House Committee on Oversight & Government Reform. EPA forwarded this finding, which Johnson signed, to the White House for review in December 2007, according to that committee.
"No finding has been completed," EPA spokesman Jonathan Shradar says. "There were draft materials prepared," he acknowledges, adding that the Supreme Court set no deadline for the agency to make its determination.
The unusual move of issuing a subpoena requiring EPA to hand over documents related to the CO2 determination came from the House Select Committee on Energy Independencefriend, went to Green's house to see M.J., the daughter of Green's girlfriend.

Green then told H.R. he needed to "finish watching a tape." The television and VCR were located in the living room.

[The ship's log of Ellerbeek: common sense and serendipity in the treatment of scurvy].
In accordance with the usual practice, chief surgeon Joan Ellerbeek recorded his observations during his voyage with the East Indiaman Mars to the Cape of Good Hope in 1776 in a logbook for the Dutch East India Company. During the voyage he was confronted with an increasing number of scurvy patients. Intuitive insight and serendipity led him to try using the seaweed ('Gramen Marinum') which had grown on the ship as an anti-scurvy agent, in the empirical and medical tradition of his time. The results were spectacular. Not only James Lind should therefore be credited with the solution of the problem of scurvy. Many before and after him, including Ellerbeek, also made a contribution.The NYPD reportedly towed 30 cars from a surprise "No Parking" zone the department created Sunday for its flag football championship, and local car owners say they were not given any warning in advance about moving their vehicles. However, the police commissioner defended "Special events go on throughout the city," O'Neill said at a news conference Tuesday. "So this is something that the commissioner's football league has every year. There were signs put out five days in advance that said 'no parking' on Sunday."
The match took place on Columbia University's athletic fields, bordered on one side by 218th Street in Inwood. According to NY1, police restricted parking all along that stretch, posting "tow away zone" signs and expired parking prohibitions that did not say when the impromptu ban

"A state need not guarantee the offender eventual release, but if it imposes a sentence of life it must provide him or her with some realistic opportunity to obtain release before the end of that term," write Justice Anthony Kennedy for the majority.
The appeal came from Terrance Graham, who was 16 and 17 when he took part in a series of violent home-invasion robberies while on parole for another felony.
The high court in 2005 said juvenile murderers cannot be executed, and Kennedy applied the same standards in this case, saying a "national consensus" had developed against life without parole sentences for those under 18 at the time of their crimes.

Court says sex offenders can be held indefinitely
The Supreme Court ruled Monday the federal government has the power to indefinitely keep some sex offenders behind bars after they have served their sentences, if officials determine those inmates may prove "sexually dangerous" in the future.
"The federal government, as custodian of its prisoners, has the constitutional power to act in order to protect nearby (and other) communities from the danger such prisoners may pose," Justice Stephen Breyer wrote for the 7-2 majority.
At issue was the constitutionality of federal "civil commitment" for sex offenders who are nearing the end of their confinement or who are considered too mentally incompetent to stand trial.
The main plaintiff in the case, Graydon Comstock, was certified as dangerous just six days before his

In the quarter-century from the end of the Vietnam War in the 1970s until Sept. 11, 2001, the United States rarely went to war, and when it did, the conflicts were so brief they were measured in days. The Gulf War in 1991 lasted 43 days. Airstrikes in the former Yugoslavia in 1995 went on for 22 days, followed by another round in 1999, that time for 78 days.
But since the Sept. 11 attacks, the United States has been fighting every single day for 15 straight years, the longest unbroken period in American history. The U.S. has carried out airstrikes, sent in ground forces, or both, in seven countries

"The criticisms have been fairly public about the process: that it's rushed, that the scope is very narrow," Alexander told Stephen Quinn, host of CBC's The Early Edition.
"There seems to be a lot of suspicion that there's an inherent bias in the NEB to approve projects."
In response, a spokesperson for the NEB described the consultations as a "fair hearing process" and pointed to the fact that the sessions are focusing onThis invention relates to Stirling engine displacer suspension systems, and more particularly to an oil filled system for suspending a free displacer in a free piston Stirling engine.

Giglia had raised $250 before Burrows contacted him and he shut it down. But Lovett says the potential to have benefited off their tragedy was huge.
Hours later, the family discovered another fundraiser by Giglia, this time on Facebook. The page said it was to help Robbie Sanderson and the Lovette (misspelled) family.
Lovett says Robbie Sanderson is Aliyah's father. But she says he hasn't been in contact with their family since last fall.
The Lovett family say they did not give approval for this person to start this account — and their family's name is misspelled. (Facebook)
CBC News reached out to Giglia.
In a written response, he said:
"Idedicated trust and safety team working around the clock to keep the platform safe," she said.
"In addition to the team of experts, we deploy proprietary technical tools and have multiple processes in place to verify the identity of campaign organizers and the beneficiary of the campaign. Before money is transferred, an individual or organization's information, including their banking information, must be verified."

Lovett says arrangements are being made for the funerals, which will be closed to the public and only include close family members.
She hopes to give her daughter and granddaughter the special memorial service that they deserve.

(YSK) annul the referendum results, after the YSK decided on the day of the referendum to count "unsealed" paper ballots - those not given an official stamp.
"The problem is that there is a big shadow on the legitimacy of the results because in the very last minute the [YSK] changed the rules of the game while the game was on," said Utku Cakirozer, an MP for the CHP, told Al Jazeera.
Anti-Erdogan protesters on Monday took to the streets of Istanbul - one of three major cities where Erdogan did not win a majority in Sunday's referendum - and other cities, carrying "No" campaign signs.
The head of Turkey's electoral board, however, defended the vote-counting process and said that the referendum's results were valid.
Sadi Guven told media at the board'sheadquarters in Ankara that the position on the paper ballots was a "unanimous decision made before voting results transferred to the system".
"Before counting, ballots, envelopes, and number of voters are crosschecked," Guven said on Monday.
He said unsealed vote envelopes were used in past elections. Guven added that final referendum results would be released within 12 days.
The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe said on Monday that a "lack of equal opportunities, one-sided media coverage and limitations on fundamental freedoms" had created an "unlevel playing field" in Turkey's vote.
"In general, the referendum did not live up to Council of Europe standards. The legal framework was inadequate for the holding of a genuinely democratic process," said Cezar Florin Preda, head of the delegation from the Parliamentary Assembly of the

Louise Signore, who lives in the Bronx in New York, maintains a healthy diet and exercises regularly. But she believes the real reason why she's enjoyed more than a century is because she never tied the knot.
"If they have exercise, I do the exercise. If they have dancing, I dance. I still do a little dancing. After my lunch, I will play bingo, so I had a full day," Signore told CNN affiliate WCBS

I write as a veteran who has a special love for our troops and their families, and as the father of Lt. Benjamin Colgan, who was killed in action in Baghdad on Nov. 1, 2003. I also write on behalf of those who joined me in meeting with Washington Sen. Maria Cantwell last December about this senseless war in Iraq.
How many more Americans and Iraqis must perish or be maimed until the "stay-the-course" approach is discredited?
In October, Cantwell signed a letter stating "simply staying the current course is not a strategy for success." Yet when I met with Cantwell, she failed to distinguish her position from that of President Bush.

father that he ask him to relinquish, at least temporarily, his job at News International "for allowing the phone-hacking crisis to spiral out of control". But the general picture is clear enough. It is one of a doddering old man ready to give up power, but unable to do so because of divisions and animosities within the family.
The article talks not only of tension between him and James, but also of distrust between him and Elisabeth's husband, the public relations man Matthew Freud. It says James's siblings agree he is "the best-suited to be the heir apparent", but somewhat half-heartedly so, because they find him too "aggressive and alienating in his public postures". At the same time, James's position seems to be increasingly precarious, and his chances ofsucceeding his father ever smaller. These are not problems with which a psychologist would be much help.
I have real willpower, Mr Obama
Barack Obama's latest medical check-up, which found him "in excellent health and 'fit for duty'", also contained the exciting news that he is now "tobacco free". This can only mean one thing: that after years of obfuscation on the issue, the US president really has given up smoking. But we still do not know when or how.
The relationship between Obama and cigarettes is one of the great mysteries of our time. His wife Michelle reportedly made it a condition of her support for his presidential ambitions that he give up his 20-year habit. Even so, after he had won the election, he admitted he hadn't given up

"The government doesn't support gay marriage, but you'd have to look hard to find the differences between the rights and responsibilities which it affords straight and gay couples," said Britain's Gay Times "Pride and Groom" December issue, adding that "in the media, it's increasingly being called 'gay marriage.'"

A wedding cake display showcases bride-and-bride and groom-and-groom figurines, at the Gay Wedding Show, in Brighton, England, on Sunday.
England will see its first wave of partnership ceremonies on Dec. 21, after registered couples have waited out a 15-day “cooling off” period.
In contrast to the United States, where social conservatives have vehemently opposed same-sex unions, there has been little opposition to the change in law here.

How to Be a Millionaire by Age 25
Wish you were as wealthy as this guy? He's Mark Zuckerberg, co-founder of Facebook, and his super-geek-to-billionaire story is the basis of the hit movie The Social Network.
"Young people are just smarter," he told a Stanford University audience in 2007. He started Facebook from his Harvard dorm in 2004 as a sophomore. Now he's a 26-year-old philanthropist, recently donating $100 million to the Newark, N.J., school district.
Zuckerberg's youthful fame and fortune makes for a riveting tale. But across America every year, plenty of entrepreneurs make their first million under the age of 25, some in high school. It takes vision, smarts, determination and a little luck.
Here are eight millionaires, all of whom made their first million by25, with advice for achieving prosperity.

Dell launched his computer company in 1984, just before dropping out of the University of Texas. By selling direct, Dell lowered prices and won over customers. At 24, the company had revenues of $258 million. At last check, his estimated net worth was $13.5 billion.
His advice for young entrepreneurs: "You've got to be passionate about it," he said in an interview with the Academy of Achievement. "I think people that look for great ideas to make money aren't nearly as successful as those who say, 'Okay, what do I really love to do? What am I excited about?'"

She described the gun that had been pointed at her face as a
"revolver." When Sauceda showed her the photo lineup, Hadwin identified the appellant as
her assailant, writing on the lineup form that she was "100% sure that is the guy."
At trial, Hadwin repeated her description of the robber as having "light colored eyes
and a unibrow[,]" which she described as "one eyebrow instead of two" and "thick." She
repeated that she was "100% sure" of her identification in the photo lineup "[b]ecause I can't
forget his face." She also identified the appellant in the courtroom as the man who robbed
her. Although she was "not really" familiar with guns, she recognized that what had been
pointed at her face was a black revolver. She acknowledged that shehad gotten a "good look
at" it, and that having it pointed at her face was "the scariest thing" she had ever been
through. Hadwin initially estimated that the robbery had spanned five minutes, but after
going over the events with defense counsel, she agreed it probably occurred over a period of
"a little longer than 20 seconds." Though Hadwin ultimately expressed "no doubt" that the
appellant was the robber, the State presented no evidence to corroborate that identification.
Hadwin never recovered the purse or its contents, nor did she receive notification that anyone
ever tried to use her credit cards. None of these items was found in the appellant's
possession when he was arrested, and no gun was found or even registered in his name.

performance of 'Urs' and various other rituals of the 17th
century Muslim saint Hazrath Manick Sha as evidenced
by the 'SANADNAMA'. Dedication of the property for
pious, religious and charitable purposes constitutes a
'WAKF' in terms of the Muslim Personal Laws. The
consequences in law is that immediately on dedication
the ownership and title of the property automatically
stands transferred and vests absolutely in 'ALMIGHTY

character of 'WAKF' and continues as such till eternity.

3. The meaning of the word "Wakf" has been
enlarged over a period of time. Section 3(r) of the Wakf
Act, 1995 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act' for short)
defines what a Wakf is. The subject matter of the
aforesaid dedication are the entire villages of
(1)Bellahalli Yelahanka Hobli comprising 602 acres and
29 guntas of land(2) Bhoopasandra Village comprising
196 acres and 19 guntas. All the aforesaid lands are
situated in Bangalore North Taluk, Bangalore. The
petitioners have restricted their claim in the writ
petitions only to the lands in the Village of Bellahalli
Yelahanka Hobli, Bangalore North Taluk i.e., 602 acres
and 29 guntas of land. Their further case is, prior to
the year 1954 the lands in question had been notified in
the Register maintained by the Department of Muzrai,
Government of Karnataka as "Devadaya Inams". The
name of the second petitioner was shown therein as the
holder of the land. The entries in the quit-rent register
of the said Village even as in the year 1897 discloses

only the name of the second petitioner as the Inamdar
of the entire Village of Bellahalli. The quit-rent register
evidences that the lands have been classified as

bearing No.281 dated 19.05.1915 was granted in favour
of Manick Sha Dargah on behalf of His Highness, the
Maharaja of Mysore. The Superintendent of Inams
Settlement Mysore, Bangalore, further confirms the title
of the lands in question in favour of the second
petitioner. By a notification dated 07.06.1965 under
Section 5(2) of the Act, the lands in question were
notified at Sl.No.286 as wakf property. By virtue of the
second notification, the lands in question came within
the control and administration of the first petitioner.
The effect of such notification is tht the character of
property belonging to a Wakf became final and

of the said notification. Till today the said notification is
not challenged.
4. The Mysore (Religious andCharitable) Inams
Abolition Act, 1955 (for short referred to as 'the Inams
Abolition Act') was enacted providing for the abolition of
certain Inams of specified land holdings. Consequently,
the State issued a notification under Section 1(4) of the
Inams Abolition Act dated 04.01.1960 appointing the
First day of February 1960 as the date on which the
provisions of the said Act shall come into force in
respect of various inam villages specified in the
schedule thereto. In terms of the provisions thereof, the
lands to which the said Act were made applicable were
consequently purported to vest in the State. The lands
in question in Bellahalli Village were also fallaciously
included in the said schedule. The Department of
Muzrai did not take any steps to set right the anomaly.

Anywhere between 10,000 and 50,000 people currently live on Moscow’s streets. Unfortunately, this figure is not on the decline.
Russia in the 1990s was the site of mass homelessness: At the time, drastic changes in the country put hundreds of thousands of Russians out on the street. Today, although the economic situation has improved, sociologists count between 1.5 and 3 million homeless people.
Experts believe that returning people to a civilized existence is possible if they have not been living on the streets for a long time.

Colonel Alonzo Ferguson, of Cobleskill, N. Y., secretary of the Schoharie and Otsego Mutual Fire Insurance Company, and a veteran of the Civil War, was born in the town of Nassau, Rensselaer County, this State, on March 19, 1820, son of German and Elizabeth (Sliter) Ferguson. His parents were both natives of Nassau. One of his great-grandfathers, a German of the name of Sornberger, was a pioneer settler of Dutchess County. His paternal grandfather was Jeremiah Ferguson, and hismaternal grandfather, John Sliter, both of Nassau, and the latter a Revolutionary soldier and pensioner.
In 1826, about three years after the death of his wife Elizabeth, which occurred when their son Alonzo was only three and a half years old, he came to Cobleskill. Here he spent the rest of his life, and died at the age of seventy-six. In religion he was a Methodist.
Colonel Ferguson was only six years old when his father came to Cobleskill. Here, up to his fifteenth year, he received what little education the common schools of that day afforded in winter, and in summer he was employed on farm work. At the age of seventeen he was apprenticed to learn wagon-making, and for the succeeding nine years he worked at that trade.

General Terry's relief column took the wounded and what remained
of the 7th Cavalry to Rosebud Landing on the Yellowstone River,
while General Crook encamped at Cloud Peak. Incited by Sitting
Bull's great victory, hundreds of rebel warriors slipped away
from their reservations, and the force of hostile Sioux grew and
controlled almostall of the area. In addition to the heavy
losses, a major problem for the cavalry was in not knowing where
the Indian war parties were located. General Terry made two
unsuccessful attempts to send critical dispatches to General
Crook, learning quickly that it was dangerous for troopers to
venture beyond the camp. Despite this danger, Privates James
Bell, William Evans, and Benjamin Stewart volunteered to make a
third attempt. They departed Terry's camp on July 9 and,
traveling only at night and hiding by day, they reached General
Crook's camp on July 14, and then returned to General Terry with
dispatches from Cloud Peak. For their heroism in this daring,
volunteer mission, all three men were awarded the Medal of
Honor.

they gave Patnaik "video evidence" of the "assaults" that took place on 20 February at the Delhi Secretariat.
Ashutosh claimed that police were prompt in taking action against AAP MLAs Prakash Jarwal and Amanatullah Khan — for allegedly assaulting chief secretary Anshu Prakash — though there was no evidence against them.
"The AAP MLAs were arrested though he (Prakash) produced no evidence. What about the life threatening attacks on Delhi minister Imran Hussain and DDA vice-chairman Ashish Khetan, who enjoys the rank of cabinet minister," Ashutosh asked.
Amid the standoff with the bureaucracy, the Delhi government today said it is now mulling live streaming of all meetings of its ministers.
A senior government official said that as per the plan, live feed of meetings with audio output will be available on aPatnaik to take action against Kejriwal and Sisoida in the chief secretary assault case.
In his letter to the L-G, Sisodia mentioned that two important meetings that were called by him were boycotted by officers.
"If services were our subject, we would have certainly ensured that the rule of law was followed and the constitutional scheme of functioning was complied with," he wrote in the letter.
Also, Transport Commissioner Varsha Joshi and PWD's Principal Secretary Renu Sharma were among other senior bureaucrats who skipped the meeting of 'State Road Safety Council' called by Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot.
The employees forum in its resolution claimed that instead of apologising and admitting their mistake, the chief minister and and the deputy chief minister are in a "denial mode" which shows that they were a

are likely to be some friendly dancers amongst the crowd.
This is one of the biggest and longest running Milonga in London. It usually happens twice monthly on Saturday nights (alternating weeks with 'The Light' Milonga) and is fairly conveniently located just around the corner from Chalk Farm station (Northern Line) and only a short walk away from Camden Town.
The Milonga has been going for many years and is firmly established on the London Tango scene. It attracts many dancers from all over London and further afield.
Corrientes Milonga takes place at Haverstock School and uses one of their two big halls for the Milonga. Both halls are large and can accommodate many dancers. The main hall used is probably slightly smaller than the one located at the back endof the school, but is a better size and shape with a stage on the far side, tables and chairs all around, as well as some further seating behind these at the near side. The bar area is set up in one corner and the DJ desk is located at the opposite/far corner. The seating options are more than adequate and there is plenty of space to get around the place.
They have a simple bar setup in which sells a small selection of drinks and Empanadas (unfortunately only cold ones). They also provide some small snacks scattered around the tables and occasionally a complementary fruit buffet outside by the side door around 10.30pm.

Antonio Pipkin remained atop the Montreal Alouettes' depth chart as they returned to practice after their bye week Sunday.
TSN's John Lu reported the team's depth chart at the position is led by Pipkin, followed by Johnny Manziel, and then Matthew Shiltz.
#AlsMtl come out of their bye week the same way they went in: Pipkin, Manziel, Shiltz is their QB order. #CFL #TSN — John Lu (@JohnLuTSNMtl) September 9, 2018
Filling in for an injured Manziel, Pipkin has led the Alouettes to two straight wins and has 762 yards and a touchdown to four interceptions in three games.Since the ouster of President Mohammed Morsi in 2013, Egypt has been leading a crackdown against the Muslim Brotherhood, with successive security blows targeting the group’s leadership to the arrest of many of its members. Others were tried in court, and some Brotherhood members were killed. Morsi died in court at age 67 in June.
The letter was handwritten by a young detainee and signed by 350 detainees in one of Egypt’s prisons, and was approved by 1,350 others in jails across the country. One of the detainees' parents reportedly acquired a copy of the letter during a visit, and it was later leaked to the media through media figures and rights’ activists.
The letter comes as a former detainee close to the Brotherhood, Omar Hassan, posted Aug. 19 on

Since the SAFER 1 trial received funding in August 2006, several issues have delayed implementation, including:
• Radical ambulance service reorganisation took place in England in 2007, with 29 ambulance services reduced through mergers to 12 regional Ambulance Service Trusts.
• Senior staff at each of the participating services changed, including Chief Executive and Director of Information. As a result, the research team has had to renegotiate participation at a time when research was not an organisational priority in England or Wales.

The archaeology of India south to the Vindhayan range, the Deccan or Peninsular India has had certain distinctive features and that revealed a chronology of an Indian culture characteristically different from the prehistoric cultures of other parts of the country. Though studies on the southern Neolithic was initiated in the first half of the nineteenth century our knowledge and concept about the civilization grow considerably during the decades since India's independence (settar and Korisettar, 2002). A neolithic culture was explored at Jaugada, an important settlement site in southern Orissa. The antiquity of the place was believed by the local people to be as old as the days of 'Mahabharata' when Duryodhan constructed a lac fort with an evil intention of ruining 'Pandavas'.

So the movie version of George's checkered career begins with childhood flashbacks that occasionally pause in freeze-frame. Speaking in voice-over, the lead character tells us of his lifelong aspiration to get rich without actually working. Is it George Jung talking, or Henry Hill?
In the late 1960s, "Boston George" leaves his home state of Massachusetts and lands in California, where the lure of easy affluence motivates him to enter the pot trade. Within a few years, he cultivates a network of suppliers, buyers and airplane pilots that enables him to move up to cocaine and into an alliance with the dangerous Medellín cartel. He even picks up a genuine Colombian wife, Mirtha (Penelope Cruz, inheriting the baton of the volatile snow bunny laid down by Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio after"Scarface"). As the cash rolls in, George never looks over his shoulder long enough to glimpse the sad fate that's gaining on him. Perhaps he's distracted by the movie's pounding soundtrack, a medley of rock hits left unpilfered by Scorcese or Cameron Crowe. Heard Ram Jam's "Black Betty" lately?
Screenwriters David McKenna and Nick Cassavetes take extreme liberties with Porter's material, which is fine. But their often nonsensical plot inventions make the surviving accuracies suspect by association. Demme magnifies the unreality with his needlessly broad direction, which includes the stunt casting of second-string celebs as Jung's shady connections. (See Paul "Pee-Wee Herman" Reubens and Bobcat Goldthwait snorting lines together!)

The trial court set forth the following procedural and factual background:
On May 18, 2016, Appellant pleaded guilty at [dockets 2073
CR 2015 and 3727 CR 2015]. He was committed to the
Department of Corrections for a State Intermediate Punishment
[(“SIP”)] evaluation. On September 26, 2016, a hearing was held
regarding his SIP evaluation, and he was denied entry into the
program. Thereafter on October 25, 2016, he was sentenced on
April 28, 2015 to October 25, 2016. This created confusion as the
time from April 28, 2015 to September 12, 2016 went towards his
revocation dockets. There was further confusion over whether the
time from September 12, 2016 to October 25, 2016 was available
to Appellant for his 2015 dockets. Ultimately[, the trial court]
granted him time credit on both of the 2015 dockets for one month
and nine days. In reviewing this, with the benefit of a calculator,

Studies on the human aortic bifurcation. Part 2. Predilection sites of early lipid deposits in relation to preformed arterial structures.
The site of fatty streaking in the human aortic bifurcation has been re-examined in 22 specimens from persons who died suddenly between the ages of 14 and 35 years. In contrast to the earlier data of others which pointed to the predominant involvement of either lateral or medical wall, fatty streaking has been found to be localized initially along the posterior wall of the bifurcation and its daughter vessels, i.e. common iliac arteries. This localization appears to be related to a prominent development of the intima along the posterior wall of the bifurcation. The appearance of fatty streaking along this wall may also be favored by the slightly curvedpattern of the human aortic bifurcation. The morphometric analysis demonstrates a greater involvement of right common iliac artery by fatty streaking as compared with the left artery. The elastic sheet covering the divider of the bifurcation was identified microscopically as another common site of an early lipid deposition in the aortic bifurcation. The early lipid infiltration of the elastic sheets is partly responsible for the diffuse reddish coloration ("blush") appearing with gross fat staining at the lateral aspects of the divider and in other affected areas.

567 F.3d 398 (2009)
CDI ENERGY SERVICES, INC., Plaintiff-Appellant,
v.
WEST RIVER PUMPS, INC.; John Martinson; Dale Roller; Kent Heinle, Defendants-Appellees.
No. 08-1031.
United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
Submitted: November 13, 2008.
Filed: May 29, 2009.
*400 Joshua D. Holleb, Davi L. Hirsch, Highland Park, IL, Leslie Bakken Oliver, Bismark, ND, for appellant.
Gary R. Wolberg, Petra H. Mandigo, Bismarck, ND. for appellee.
Before MELLOY, BOWMAN, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.
MELLOY, Circuit Judge.
CDI Energy Services, Inc. ("CDI"), sells and services equipment for use in the oilfield industry. CDI maintained a field office in Dickinson, North Dakota, with three employees, John Martinson, Dale Roller, and Kent Heinle. CDI alleges that these men started a competing company, West River Pumps, Inc. ("West River"), stole proprietary information, and solicited business from CDI's clients while still employed by CDI. Upon discoveringfor their previous employer, CDI encouraged them to solicit business from the competitor's clients and bring those clients with them to CDI. Roller and Martinson did so. One of the clients Roller brought with him to CDI subsequently accounted for approximately half of CDI's business.
At CDI, Martinson served as the district manager in North Dakota, and Roller served as the sales and service representative. Martinson hired defendant Kent Heinle in 2007 to work for CDI as a service technician.
In 2007, while employed by CDI, the three men formed West River and contacted CDI's clients. They informed CDI's clients of their plan to commence operations as a separate business and asked those clients to do business with West River. They also secured permission from several clients to move the

BatMid-season acquisition: Ex-Eels prop Junior Paulo is tackled during the round 21 NRL match between the South Sydney Rabbitohs and the Canberra Raiders. Credit:Getty Images On two occasions, officials at League Central had told the Raiders it would be easier if they just "withered on the vine". I'd been told something similar by a highly-placed official who shall remain nameless. "It would be much easier if Canberra wasn't in the competition," he told me. "I'd [expletive] them off tomorrow if I could." Stuart's walkout that night sent a clear message to Greenberg, who was head of football then and is chief executive now. Why should he promote the game, when some at the NRL would prefer they weren't there?

The record discloses that the defendant's trial commenced January 13, 1961; the case was sent to the jury on January 17th and it continued its deliberations throughout January 18th and returned its verdict on January 19th. Defendant timely moved for a judgment of acquittal or in the alternative for a new trial, assigning inter alia the giving of instructions to the jury in his absence and that of his counsel. Oral argument on the motions was had January 8, 1962. On January 31, 1962 the trial judge wrote to counsel for the defendant and the government2 stating that he had 'no memory of the incident whatsoever' and requested that he be advised 'whether, in fact, this

He is expected to take part in a service at St Paul's on Friday afternoon, the first since the cathedral closed its doors a week ago for health and safety reasons.
The dean of St Paul's, the Right Rev Graeme Knowles, said
he was "very sorry" to see Fraser leave.
"Giles has brought a unique contribution to the life and ministry of St Paul's and we will be very sorry to see him go. He has developed the work of the St Paul's Institute and has raised the profile of our work in the City.
"We are obviously disappointed that he is notable to continue to his work with Chapter during these challenging days. We will miss his humour and humanity and wish Giles and his family every good wish into the future."
Fraser quickly became a hero figure among the Occupy the London
Stock Exchange (LSX) movement, clearing police officers off the steps of St Paul's and supporting the group's right to peaceful protest after a court injunction stopped it from setting up camp in nearby Paternoster Square. He also delivered a Sunday sermon decrying corporate greed, which was seen as another sign of his endorsement of the protest.

apply to wage-discrimination claims even when the victim was unaware of the discrimination until after the period for bringing a claim had elapsed. In McDonald v. City of Chicago (2010), he extended the Heller court’s Second Amendment analysis to the states. In 2014 the Supreme Court announced two controversial conservative decisions written by Alito: Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. recognized a right of closely held private corporations to obtain, on the grounds of religious liberty, exemptions from generally applicable laws, and Harris v. Quinn declined to extend (and in fact severely criticized) a series of labour cases, ruling that certain workers paid by the state could not be required to pay union fees. In Glossip v. Gross (2015), Alito upheld Oklahoma’s use of the sedative midazolam inTexas did not unconstitutionally burden a woman’s right to obtain an abortion (Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt [2016]).
Alito’s consistent conservatism led some Supreme Court watchers to dub him “Scalito”—a suggestion that he was an acolyte of his fellow conservative associate justice Antonin Scalia (1936–2016). But although Alito very rarely sided with liberal justices against conservative justices, his decisions and opinions revealed a distinct brand of conservative jurisprudence. In contrast to Scalia, Alito evinced some skepticism of originalism, the practice of resolving textual ambiguity by relying on the common meanings of the terms in which a legal provision was written at the time of its adoption. Likewise, he demonstrated a willingness to examine legislative history in determining the meaning of ambiguous statutes, a practice that was anathema to Scalia.
