jointly formed the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee (UFWOC) on August 22, 1966.
The organization that was birthed through the grape pickers strike went beyond the usual labor union organizations, whose purposes usually focused on the practical issues alone. The issues of this group went deeper, to Chavez' experiences as a youth; to change the treatment of the workers and help them reclaim their dignity. Their work on the grape workers strike eventually came to be known as "La Causa," The Cause. Chavez' vision brought not only the farmworkers, but also students and religious people who were drawn to a dream of bettering the world.
César Chávez' movement inspired the founding of two Midwestern independent unions: Obreros Unidos in Wisconsin in 1966 and The Farm Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC) into publicize the union's cause and the plight of the farmworkers. It was termed a pilgrimage because it had become a spiritual cause for those involved. Chavez marched the entire way, with the procession growing as it went. The unity of the peaceful marchers from a multitude of backgrounds was something that had not been seen in the past. They carried the banners of the union, the flags of the United States and Mexico, and a flag with the image of the Virgin de Guadalupe. Through Chavez' ability to organize and lead by example, the farm workers gained the support of thousands of ordinary citizens. Chavez, in turn, became known as a formidable opponent of injustice. The farm workers had won. It was the first union contract between

According to Ms. Gray, petitioner then drove her home, but forced her to perform oral sex and unsuccessfully attempted vaginal intercourse on the hood of his car a short distance from her home. Petitioner then gave Ms. Gray his first name ("Ken") and the telephone number of his pager.[5] When she returned home at 2:30 a.m., Ms. Gray told her family that she had been raped. In the days that followed, petitioner visited Ms. Gray's home several times and attempted to reach her by phone a number of times, leaving his name. There is conflicting evidence as to whether he identified himself as a policemanon the criminal charges. Yet, when confronted with the docket entries from petitioner's case file, which established that the most he could have met with petitioner was twice, Fox conceded that the docket was correct and contradicted his earlier statement.
Moreover, it is uncontested that the bullpen is crowded with other prisoners, and petitioner testified at the habeas hearing that he was unwilling to discuss his case in the presence of other prisoners because he did not want to reveal to them that he was a police officer. Petitioner also testified that at each of the two brief visits with Fox in the bullpen, Fox promised to visit petitioner at the Cook County Jail, where they could spend as much time in private as they needed to prepare.

he intended to target, including Quebec’s first female firefighter and police officer, as well as well-known feminists.
The killer, Marc Lépine, was angry that women were taking up space in areas traditionally dominated by men, and felt he and other men were being unjustly excluded from positions he believed men were entitled to. Women, in other words, were stepping out of line and out from under the thumb of men. Julie Bindel explains that “the pro-choice movement was galvanizing at the time of the massacre.” She writes:
“Six months earlier, a Quebec woman, Chantale Daigle, had scored an important victory by overturning an injunction, obtained by her violent ex-partner, at the Canadian supreme court, preventing her from ending a pregnancy.

While not a Monty Python movie, A Liar's Autobiography: The Untrue Story of Monty Python's Graham Chapman might be the next best thing. Based on Chapman's memoir of the same name (well, subtract the subheading and add "Volume VI"), authored by him and four others including Douglas Adams, the film adaptation of 'the dead one's' life is being billed as a 3D animation epic and is scheduled to make its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival this weekend.
Featuring 17 different animation styles (from 14 different studios), A Liar's Autobiography manages to bring five Pythons together to tell the sometimes true (?) and always intriguing story of Chapman's life, including the deceased himself,

On June 8, and again on June 15, 1998, plaintiff wrote Mark Strange letters complaining that the appeals and Warden Wolff's letter were not in plaintiff's Master File and that Warden Mark Strange was involved in a conspiracy to remove the appeals and letter from the Master File. On June 19, 1998, plaintiff was transferred from MacDougall to Garner.
D. Claims Against Defendant Raymond Elterich
In 1998, Raymond Elterich was an investigator for the DOC Security Division. On March 12, 1998, plaintiff was the subject of a disciplinary hearing at Walker Correctional Institution regarding the March 9 Incident. Defendant Elterich was not present at, noralleges that his family members repeatedly called Commissioner Armstrong's office to report the violations, but that Armstrong refused to accept, return, or act upon each call to his office secretary. [Third Am. Compl. ¶ 26]. In his memorandum, plaintiff reasserts his allegation that his family members called defendant Armstrong's office to report the violation and points only to the affidavit of his mother, Pamela Ziemba, to substantiate his claims. [See Pl.'s Mem. Law Opp. Defs.'s Mot. Summ. J. at 7-10].
In her affidavit, Mrs. Ziemba states that "(f)rom September 15, 1997 forward, I called the Connecticuts (sic) Department of Corrections Commissioner Armstrong's office, located in Wethersfield, Connecticut...." I called Commissioner Armstrong's office, as ultimately he was the highest ranking official in the Department of Corrections. Commissioner Armstrong's private secretary,

A myeloablative allograft after rejection of two consecutive nonmyeloablative transplants from two different HLA identical siblings.
A 55-year-old female with standard risk AML in second CR received an allogenic transplant from an HLA-matched sibling, using a nonmyeloablative conditioning regimen (NMST). On day +139, she rejected her graft with autologous reconstitution. She received a second NMST from a different HLA-matched sibling with an identical conditioning regimen and immunosuppression. On day +110, she rejected the second graft, with autologous reconstitution with blasts. She received a third allograft from the first sibling with a myeloablative busulfan-based conditioning regimen. She is now day +270, in CR, with full donor chimerism.In the nineteenth century Pierre--Jean--Marie Flourens ([@B12]) and Ernst Mach described the vestibular system and its peripheral organs while Robert Barany, rewarded by the Nobel prize in 1914, was the first to investigate vestibular disorders with caloric tests making surgical treatments of the vestibular organ possible. Recently, Graf and Klam ([@B14]) have reminded us that this ancient sensory system appeared more than 500 million years ago. Logically its influence would most likely not be restricted to balance reflexes at the brainstem level; it must have also shaped our brain. The vestibular system is the one sensory organ dedicated to gravity perception, which along with light and oxygen served as a motor of evolution.

made even two months earlier. He testified that
he was intoxicated and smoking marijuana when the shooting occurred. Rayford then testified that
defendant was the shooter and that "to make the story short, [defendant] did it" by reaching over
Ingram, who was seated in the driver's seat, and shooting out the driver's window. Thus, Rayford's
testimony at various times was that there was no shooter, he did not remember the shooting, he did
not know who was the shooter but Phillips had the gun, and defendant was the shooter. Rayford,
who was also facing charges for the July 4, 2004, shooting, and was facing serious penalties if
convicted, admitted that he had "a lot to lose" and that he was stating for the first time at trial that
defendant was the shooter, because "he did notwant to go down for what somebody else did."
Rayford testified after receiving use immunity from the State.
The remaining testimony, from Jonathan Phillips and Lorenzo Ingram, was at odds. After
his arrest, Phillips testified that there was no shooting. After realizing that he was being implicated
by the other van passengers and that "it's every man for their self," Phillips told the State that
defendant, the only person in the van with whom he was not previously acquainted, was the shooter.
Phillips received a significant deal from the State in exchange for his testimony; he was not charged
as an adult and he received probation for one charge, and the remaining charges were dropped. In
contrast, Ingram, who did not have a deal with the State, consistently

The van
took off, eventually stopped, and Ingram alone got out of the van. When Ingram returned, he "hit
the block" and "passed the scene of the crime." When the police pulled the van over, Phillips threw
the .22-caliber revolver in Rayford's lap.
Rayford also admitted on cross-examination that after his arrest he denied any involvement
in the shooting on July 4. After the July 4 shooting, Rayford was in jail on a drug charge when the
police came to question him on August 21, 2004. Although the police lied to him and said that tests
revealed that the .22-caliber revolver was used in the shooting, Rayford knew that the .22-caliber
revolver was not used in the shooting; he could not be tricked into saying that it was. Rayford
admittedwhich was that defendant was the driver and Phillips was the
shooter. Ingram did not recall telling Mr. Castillo, an investigator who worked for defendant, that
he would not testify against or "trick" on defendant. Nevertheless, Ingram admitted that defendant
was his cousin and a close friend whom Ingram had known all his life. Also, Ingram admitted that,
before he got in the van, he had already heard about the earlier incident involving Phillips. In fact,
Ingram testified that he had looked for Phillips earlier that day to see if he was alright. Even though
Ingram testified that they were not looking for Kings because they were "just riding and kickin' and
drinking and smoking," he also testified that if they had encountered a King that night, Phillips
"might try to shoot at 'em."

effectively improved pedestrian safety in other settings (Staunton et al. [@CR21]; Boye and Geller, [@CR1]; Standfast, [@CR20]). The focus of the activities described here was the Johns Hopkins University Arts and Sciences campus, which includes mainly undergraduate programs. The average total undergraduate enrollment is about 5,200, and the campus size is 140 park-like acres. The University is located in Baltimore and is bordered by several of the City's thoroughfares running both North--south on the east side of campus, and East--west on both the North and South sides of campus.
Data collection occurred through a review of existing university crash data, an environmental audit and direct observations, and focus groups with faculty, students, and staff. A review of the literature was also conducted to inform development of the focus grouptypical patterns, as well as identify risky areas and ideas for improving pedestrian safety. Students, staff, and faculty were the populations targeted for these focus groups; collecting community perspectives was not part of the initial scope of work. Students were recruited via an email sent by the Office of the Dean of Students, and by flyers distributed by student research assistants. Faculty and staff were recruited in two ways: (1) those who had contacted the project when they read about our work in one of the university publications were invited by email to attend; and (2) the Ad Hoc Pedestrian Safety Committee identified key individuals who had knowledge and experience with the subject who were also invited by email.
The student focus group occurred in the evening, and the

faculty and staff focus group in the morning, and a light meal was provided for each. Oral informed consent was collected prior to beginning each focus group, which lasted from 60--90 minutes. Two members of the study team, experienced with qualitative methods, facilitated the discussions, with the student research assistants serving as note takers. Audiotapes were transcribed and a verified by one of the student research assistants. Open coding was used to analyze the data (Saldana [@CR14]). This process involved the two investigators, and the two research assistants who had attended the sessions, reading all of the transcripts to determine dominant themes and recommendations for improvement that emerged across the focus groups. The two research assistants individually prepared written summaries of their conclusions, and the four-team members metas a pedestrian.• Obtain and utilize input from students to plan all educational and communication messages and materials.**Enforcement**• Utilize crossing guards at high traffic intersections.• Increase traffic law enforcement, especially at the beginning of the school year.• Encourage law enforcement to ticket pedestrians for jaywalking, which could initially be giving out warnings, but with the potential for tickets with a fine.• Install speed cameras to help slow down the traffic.

not include traffic-related hazards. Thus, it was suggested that education about pedestrian risk be expanded to include crime as well as traffic. This recommendation was adopted, and included in the 2012 and 2013 new student orientation. In addition, the university sponsors an optional safety walk around the campus for all first-year undergraduate students, and in direct response to this research, this walk was expanded to cover both crime and traffic risks. The results from this study also in part informed the development of an education campaign, Road Scholar, led by the University's Office of Communications with input and participation by the students. The focus group transcripts were shared with the campaign developers, along with additional data collection from the students specifically regarding the campaign. This campaign used messagingand signage to remind pedestrians to be cautious and alert of their environment, in essence to create road scholars. An article describing the campaign was published in the institution's magazine (Schellenbach [@CR15]).
For enforcement, recommendations were generated from the focus groups that related to the use of crossing guards and technology such as speed cameras. The University hired local enforcement to provide navigate traffic and pedestrians at the key intersection where most of the pedestrian-vehicle collisions occurred. This increased enforcement also helped to reduce the number of illegal turns that were being made at the red light at this intersection (there was a 'no turn on red' sign at the intersection); illegal turns were mentioned in several of the crash reports. The observations noted while conducting the environmental audit

Egypt has indefinitely suspended its football league after clashes at a Cairo stadium on Sunday night resulted in the deaths of at least 22, with other media sources reporting a death toll of 30 and rising.
The match between city rivals Zamalek and ENPPI saw supporters clash at what was reported to have been the only open entrance to the stadium. Police fired tear gas to disperse the crowd, while many of the victims are thought to have died due to suffocation and stampede.
A medical source told Egypt's Ahram Online that he had seen more than 30 dead bodies after the riot. The football match proceeded despite the violence.
The Egyptian government said in a statement: "Some of the crowd, who did not have tickets, attempted to break into theover the fence [to escape the overcrowding]," a fan was quoted as saying by Al Jazeera.
"This is when they were confronted by the security forces."
Relations between football supporters and security personnel have remained tense in Egypt since the ousting of former dictator Hosni Mubarak in the 2011 uprising.
The interior ministry said: "Huge numbers of Zamalek club fans came to Air Defence Stadium to attend the match ... and tried to storm the stadium gates by force, which prompted the troops to prevent them from continuing the assault."
A football-related incident in 2012 resulted in the deaths of 74 people, following riots that rocked Port Said.

July 31 • Paul Brown Stadium
Macy's Music Festival has been part of Cincinnati summers in one form or another since 1962, bringing to town two jam-packed nights of old-school R&B heroes and legends and some like-minded, younger whippersnappers. Head down to Paul Brown Stadium on Friday to catch relative newcomers like Fantasia (from 'American Idol'), Ohio's own John Legend and Eric Benet (the former Mr. Halle Berry), along with The Whispers and Charlie Wilson of The Gap Band.[Natural and unnatural health].
There are four historical eras of health and illness. During the first era, which lasted many hundred centuries, health was interpreted as a state of absent or transient illness, the latter being a manifestation of death, the bitter beginning of a bad end. Only healthy persons with a finite disease should be treated, and only until they have recovered and can continue to live as before. The second era also accepts that death stands behind illness and that the physician must surrender to it whenever he meets definite illness. But in the light of the biblical message of firstly Judaism and then Christianity, love already shows the path leading further to the affirmative devotion to the sufferer: "patient". If the return to everyday-life was impossible,

20 L.Ed.2d 569, 592 (1968).
Plaintiff filed this action on July 14, 1994, alleging job discrimination against Defendant, her former employer, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended ("Title VII"). Plaintiff alleges that Defendant discriminated against her because of her gender, more specifically because of her status as a mother of young children, and that Defendant created a hostile and offensive work environment, resulting in Plaintiff's resignation.
Plaintiff's allegations focus entirely upon her supervisor, Mary Ann Foley, and comments made and actions taken by Ms. Foley, which Plaintiff believes amount to unlawful discrimination based upon Plaintiff's gender and her status as a mother of young children. Plaintiff asserts that Ms. Foley repeatedly made negative comments to Plaintiff about Plaintiff's children. For example, Plaintiff asserts thatMs. Foley once told Plaintiff not to leave to get her sick child from day care.[1] Plaintiff also alleges that Ms. Foley told her she needed to get her priorities straight and that her job came first. Moreover, Plaintiff asserts that Ms. Foley suggested a pet carrier or a cage for children.[2]
Plaintiff does not dispute that of the forty-four individuals in Ms. Foley's department in October 1993, thirty-five were female and twenty-two had children. In addition, it is undisputed that of the nine males in Ms. Foley's department, one had children. It is undisputed that, after Plaintiff's resignation, she was replaced by a mother of two children between the ages of six and nine.
The Court finds that Plaintiff's two claims are (1) for disparate treatment because of her

and that's because he dumped the team for a few years after meeting Ben Roethlisberger. Apparently, McConnell had such an unpleasant experience that he decided to become the fan of another team.
"I met Roethlisberger awhile ago when I was little, but it wasn't too good of an interaction," McConnell said. "I respect him as a player, but he wasn't exactly the nicest guy."
Mason Rudolph might agree with that comment.
As it turned out, the young McConnell was so upset by the Roethlisberger meeting that he decided he didn't want to be a Steelers fan anymore.
"I stopped rooting for the Steelers for a little bit after that," McConnell said.
So who did he start cheering for? Was it Pennsylvania's other team, the Eagles?
"No," McConnell said. "I was a little petty androoted for [a team in the AFC North] and then I reverted back to [being] a Steelers fan. I was a Cincinnati Bengals fan for a little bit."
Of course, being a Bengals fan isn't easy, which is something McConnell quickly realized.
"They weren't ever any good when I rooted for them," the point guard said.
McConnell noted that this all happened after the Steelers won Super Bowl XL in February 2006, which means he likely jumped on the Bengals bandwagon just in time for a disastrous three-year period where the team never had a winning record (2006-08). Apparently, three years of watching the Bengals play was enough to get McConnell back on the Steelers bandwagon.
As for his current feelings about Roethlisberger, the Sixers guard pointed out that he wasn't too

upset about the meeting anymore, because he kind of understood why Big Ben wasn't the "nicest guy" during the event.
"It was in sixth grade. We at were at a 'Hoops for a Cure' thing at my high school," McConnell said. "He was getting bombarded left and right, so I completely understand."
The moral of the story here is either "be nice to everybody" or "never become a Bengals fan." You pick.which was about one one-thousandth of the total crop produced in Naning at that time. The Dutch also did not interfere with the administration of Naning, which was exclusively governed by its traditional Penghulus.
During the temporary British occupation of Malacca from 1795 to 1818 when the Napoleonic war was raging in Europe, a treaty was signed between the British and the new Penghulu of Naning Dol Said in 1801. The treaty included a clause for the British to continue receiving the right to
one-tenth of the produce of Naning as stipulated by the earlier 1643 Dutch treaty. However, this was commuted to a yearly payment of 400 gantangs of paddy due to the poverty of Naning. In 1807, the then British resident of Malacca also issued a directive depriving

cameo in sideways world. Of course Miles would be friends with Charlotte in either reality, particularly since we know from "Dr. Linus" that the island did exist in the '70s, and that therefore Miles' and Charlotte's mothers might know each other in this timeline, too. Charlotte and Sawyer weren't incredibly close in the real timeline, but she was part of his small time-traveling band in the first half of last season, and like many a woman on the show (or in the audience), she couldn't resist the charms of James Ford with his shirt off.
• Couple of familiar faces from TV, but new to the show, in Sheila Kelley (from "LA Law," and also from her marriage to Richard Schiff) as Zoe, and Fred Koehler (from "Kate &Allie" as a kid, and many things as a grown-up) as one of Widmore's soldiers.
• Widmore's dismissive "How little you actually know" comment to Sawyer about the origin of the freighter makes me question a lot of his previous protestations of goodness. We know he sent the damn freighter, so unless Keamy and company were somehow working under some secret higher authority, most of season four's bloodshed is Widmore's fault. And if he's building a barrier to repel Smokey, does that add more fuel to the Smoke-as-good-guy fire?
• Lots of little Sawyer easter eggs in the LA X scenes. Ford's code word is LaFleur, he has a copy of "Watership Down" on his dresser (though the book was originall Boone's in the real timeline, Sawyer stole it) and

Juliet and Desmond, who were at ground zero to something that should not have been survivable. Others in nearby proximity - Locke & Eko in the Hatch, and Jack, Kate, et al in the Incident - miraculously awoke in the jungle finding themselves temporarily mute or deaf.
Desmond at ground zero in the Hatch implosion awoke in the past when he was painting his flat with Penny Widmore. His consciousness became unanchored in time as he consciously relived his past with deja vu cases (seeing Charlie or heard "815" or saw that soccer match, etc). He began to remember events that had not happened yet (Locke's speech, Charlie's many deaths, etc.) until his mind deteriorated in The Constant until he was able to anchor his thoughts on a constantChristian Shepherd, has Smokey appeared as anyone else?
Desmond on flight 815 in the AR and probably locked away on the sub. Is Desmond the big wild card to everything?
Why is my gut and not my head telling me that Jack and Sawyer are going to end up being the new Jacob and MIB. Crappy ending, but I can see Sawyer looking for a loophole to kill Jack 200 years from now.
Widmor has to be evil – he brought mercenaries to kill everyone on the island, last season during the flashes a young Widmor and his Latin speaking buddies captured Juliet and Sawyer and he was about to cut off her arm with a machete right as the island flashed. He wanted Alex killed and he was also a

captured on camera by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory. It sparked an hour-long high-frequency radio blackout, according to the Space Weather Prediction Center overseen by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Sunday's solar flare registered as an X1.7-class sun eruption — the strongest type of solar flare the sun can fire off, according to the SWPC officials. [Most Powerful Solar Storms of 2013 (Photos)]
When aimed directly at Earth, X-class solar flares can pose a risk to astronauts and satellites in orbit, as well as interfere with communications and GPS signals on the ground. They can also super-charge Earth's northern lights displays by bombarding the planet with solar particles, triggering awesome aurora light shows.
But Sunday's solar flare erupted from an active sunspot on the far side of the sun, so itwas not directly facing Earth when it unleashed a wave of super-hot plasma called a coronal mass ejection (CME).
"No planets were in the line of fire," astronomer Tony Phillips wrote on his website Spaceweather.com, which tracks space weather and skywatching events. "The sunspot that produced this blast is on the far side of the sun. Soon, in a few days, it will turn toward Earth, emerging into view over the sun's eastern limb."
Phillips wrote that NASA's infrared Spitzer Space Telescope and Deep Impact/Epoxi spacecraft may be in the line of fire of the solar flare. The flare came from a sunspot that has been active over the last week, firing off a number of medium-strength M-class solar flares as it slowly rotates into view as seen from Earth.

graduation-year state unemployment rate. We also found higher divorce and childlessness rates in midlife.
The mortality results were particularly striking. In line with previous research (Ruhm 2000), we found that recession cohorts had somewhat lower mortality rates right at the time of their labor market entry. But this effect is driven entirely by fewer fatal car accidents and is probably the result of recession-induced reductions in traffic.
By the time they reached their late 30s though, mortality rates started to edge higher. By age 50, one extra death per 10,000 was registered for every percentage-point increase in unemployment at graduation, affecting males and females similarly. During a moderate recession, the unemployment rate typically rises about three percentage points. Thus, graduating in a recession is associated with about a 6 percentHugh Hefner On Early 'Playboy' And Changing America's Values

Hugh Hefner, the founder of Playboy magazine, died Wednesday at his home, the Playboy Mansion. He was 91.
In 1999, Hefner told Fresh Air that his iconic magazine was inspired by his own repressive upbringing — he described his parents as typical "Midwestern Puritans."
"I saw things in growing up in my own home and in society around me that I felt were hurtful and hypocritical," he said. "... I believe and hope that Playboy [has] played some small part in changing the values — social and sexual — of our time."
First published in 1953, Playboy's pages mixed serious journalism and literary talent with titillating centerfolds. Hefner, meanwhile, seemed to live a

### Health leader role {#Sec15}
The involvement of the Mayor in coordinating the community mental health team was perceived as giving support and attention to mental health care in the city. A specialist reported how he was impressed by the Mayor:""*The Mayor, indeed, believes in two principles, first there is no child in Surabaya who does not go to school, and second no sick people in Surabaya are neglected, including people withissues involved in getting new people. Firstly, because CHWs are lay community members volunteering their time to contribute to their community, other commitments such as work and domestic responsibilities were among the difficulties in recruiting new CHWs, as was described by some CHWs. A CPM listed social relationships as a second issue, when existing CHWs were seen as an obstacle to attracting and keeping new and younger CHWs. She illustrated this with the example of a potential woman who agreed to be recruited only if a particular CHW was not active in the taskforce anymore; and by another case in which a newly-recruited CHW stopped the role because she was treated badly by a current CHW. Additionally, cultural and demographic issues, such as ethnicity and literacy, came up

not a 'home run'
CleanSlate Outpatient Addiction Medicine is based in New Bedford, Massachusetts, and operates in 11 states. It provides integrated mental health and addiction treatment for crack cocaine and Adderall addictions in the Northeast or meth in Indiana, said Dr. Tracey Cohen, CleanSlate's chief clinical officer. Care coordinators and peer counselors who are also in recovery are key.
Opioid treatment is "not a home run" if other addictions are "unaddressed and untreated," said Cohen, a psychiatrist and addiction medicine physician. While she'd "never say there's too much spent on opioid use disorder," she thinks grants are needed to support work addressing polysubstance disorder as well.
Tess Ford needed in-patient treatment, confidence — and all new friends, the 30-year-old said. She got the treatment during a 90-day stay at Newhelp for people with other addiction disorders, as long as the opioid addiction is also treated.
First mom left, then bullying, booze and drugs
Paul Moore's early years are a jumble of traumatic memories that include his mother moving out when he was a toddler and bullying at school because he was overweight. He started drinking at 14. Alcohol "was like a magic button and woof! All my fears and worries were squashed," he said. "I thought, 'I've never felt as good as I do now.'"
He has been diagnosed with bi-polar and post-traumatic stress disorders, but Moore credits a recovery program he elects not to name for his continuing sobriety. He now journals, volunteers at a food pantry, helps care for his very ill mother and mother in law, who

and gathering. They have lost the knowledge of metalurgy and the written word, and so have learned to progress in other ways. The ancient histories passed on orally from generation to generation have mutated over the years into their own type of ancestor worship, along with the worship of the elements. These histories teach each generation of Azumi to fear and loath the arcane magic which destroyed the ancients.
Culture The Azumi exist in small tribes or extended family groups, usually named for the place they live or some deed of past family members(such as the "River Folk" or "Clam Harvesters"). Each clan is lead by a Headman who is advised by "venerated elders" who have accomplished something noteworthy in their life. The Azumi are hunter-gatherers who subside onclans symbol on their shoulders. Married women are tattooed on the ears and feet, and the deeds of a warrior are tattooed upon his hands and fingers. Holymen have horizontal bands tattooed around their head and face. A persons station can usually be judged by the amount of tattooing on the face and neck. Most of the Azumi's clothing consists of a simple leather loin cloth, augmented by either a feather or woven grass cloak, Enox hair vest and fur leggings depending upon the time of year and the weather.
Religion Two groups are considered holy men among the Azumi, they are the Asai(a-si) and the Umai(oo-may). The Asai are the most respected, and are given the reverance of priests. They are the keepers of the long oral traditions

of “The Dark Knight Rises” in Aurora, Colo.
I am going to fight the feeling that the creepy movie itself is cursed, a state which hopefully is not transferable. Heath Ledger, who played the role of the psychopathic, mass-murdering, schizophrenic Joker in 1989, died of prescription drug overdose before the debut of the film. Morgan Freeman, who played Lucius Fox in the film, was seriously injured in a car accident in Mississippi in August 2008. His co-star, and the star of the franchise, Christian Bale, hit the headlines in July 2008 when he was arrested for allegedly assaulting his mother and sister shortly before the London's premiere. Several other stunt persons were injured.

Although the District Director set out only subsection 1182(a)(28)(G), the tenor of his decision suggests that he also had in mind another "excluded from admission" category:
Aliens who are members or affiliated with (i) the Communist Party of the United States, (ii) any other totalitarian party of the United States, (iii) the Communist Political Association, (iv) the Communist or any other totalitarian party of any State of the United States, of any foreign state, or of any political or geographical subdivision of any foreign state,("[district director] has already, in fact, found her to be statutorily eligible")

In her brief, Randall attempted to cordon off from our view the immigration judge's finding that she was statutorily ineligible for adjustment by observing that "defendants [themselves] concede that the district director has already found Ms. Randall statutorily eligible for adjustment of status." Brief for Appellants at 21 (emphasis in original). But defendants made no such concession. True, the Assistant U.S. Attorney did say to the district court, "she was determined to be eligible...."

sported simple designs on their strip; however, this was not seen consistently on all jerseys until the 1950s and 1960s.[18] In 1967, the club introduced its first logo, displaying the mantra "Easts to Win", following a winless season.[18] The crest also incorporated a rooster or cockerel in the design; one source suggested that this choice of mascot followed after the Roosters' jersey design was inspired by the French national team's jersey.[20][45] Given that the French team's mascot was affectionately known to supporters as le coq, "the rooster", connections have been made as to the choosing of a rooster for Eastern Suburbs' mascot.[20]
In 1978, the mantra was replaced with the team's name, "Eastern Suburbs".[28] This name was kept until 1994,[28] when the club changed its team name to the"Sydney City Roosters" for the start of the 1995 season to appeal to the club's widening fan base.[28] In 2000, the club shortened its name to the "Sydney Roosters".[28]
Although marketing names have changed, the Roosters are still registered with the National Rugby League competition as the Eastern Suburbs District Rugby League Football Club, the entity holding the NRL licence.[46]
Colours
Red, white and blue have been the colours of every jersey design in the club's history;[47] however, the jersey design has undergone several alterations. The red, white and blue colour scheme has traditionally been the colour combination of sporting teams representing Sydney's Eastern Suburbs. Eastern Suburbs Rugby League club adopted these colours in 1908, with its predecessor Rugby Union club, also known as Eastern Suburbs in the Sydney club Rugby

achievements should also be viewed against the background of the hardship of the Nicaraguan revolution and the Contras war of the 1980s \[[@CIT0018]\]. In spite of those difficulties, that early period also implied considerable progress in literacy and education \[[@CIT0019],[@CIT0020]\], improved child survival, reduced total fertility rates \[[@CIT0021]--[@CIT0024]\], and advances in poverty alleviation \[[@CIT0025],[@CIT0026]\].

The Cuatro Santos example {#S0001-S2004}
-------------------------
Los Cuatro Santos is a frontier area in north-western Nicaragua that was profoundly affected by the war in the 1980s and by Hurricane Mitch in the 1990s. The population in this area has been successful in poverty alleviation \[[@CIT0026]\] and reduction of under-five mortalitybased on a Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) that provides population-based information on demographic, socio-economic, and selected health indicators over time.
Setting {#S0002-S2001}
-------
Los Cuatro Santos (four saints) area is situated in the northern part of Chinandega, Nicaragua, and is composed of four similar-sized municipalities: San Juan de Cinco Pinos, San Pedro del Norte, Santo Tomas del Nance, and San Francisco del Norte. The whole area covers 310 km^2^ with a population of 25,893 inhabitants in 5,966 households (2014). It is located 250 km northwest of the capital Managua in a mountainous area along the border with Honduras. This region suffered from the war in the 1980s and was seriously affected by Hurricane Mitch in October 1998.

Data sources {#S0002-S2002}
------------
A wide range of project-related documents dated from 1996 to 2015 served as a basis for the description of the process over time. These included proposals, reports, local official documents, and a strategic 15-year plan that was jointly developed in 2002. The long-term plan was prepared in a facilitated workshop with representatives from the local NGOs, the population movement *Movimiento Comunal*, key persons within the civil society, the mayors of the municipalities, and representatives from the local ministries of Health and Education.
An HDSS was initiated in 2004 inLos Cuatro Santos area covering the whole population and gathering updated demographic and selected health information. Data were collected in a series of surveys linked by household and individual information. Demographic changes (birth, death, migration) between the surveys were carefully registered and dated. The first survey in 2004 had follow-ups in 2007, 2009, and 2014. Household data included information on the house (floor, walls) and services (water, sanitation, electricity) \[[@CIT0026]\]. Unique identifiers of households and individuals linked the databases. The demographic information was collected from all members of the family. All women aged 15--49 years living in the households provided retrospective reproductive histories. Births, deaths, causes of child death by verbal autopsy, and in- and out-migration were registered \[[@CIT0024]\]. The geographic location of every household was mapped by a

Upon arriving, the complaining victim led the police into the residence, and identified Appellant
as the individual who had assaulted him, and who had pulled out a knife during an altercation
outside with him and two other individuals. The officers arrested Appellant for aggravated
assault with a deadly weapon, took him into custody, and transported him to a police station.1 At
some point during the course of the events that morning, the officers discovered that Appellant
had eight outstanding traffic warrants, and upon a subsequent search of Appellant, they
uncovered a matchbox containing more cocaine. On December 14, 2004,Q:

Seiller's change of plea proceedings took place before Judge Cooper on May 1, 1972. Later that month, Count One of indictment 71 Cr. 676 (a conspiracy count to which Seiller had pleaded guilty) was dismissed at the close of the government's case during the trial of his co-defendants Infanti and Kurtz (they were both convicted on Count Two). The following month, his co-defendant Silverman was acquitted by a jury on Countcanes, because of his sickness keeping him in a state of unbalance"; and he inferred that he did not understand the nature of the charges against him when he pleaded guilty because of language difficulties:

Typical of the reasons presented are two that at the time of the plea he was in a state of debilitating health which rendered him unable to think properly and that a language barrier interfered with full comprehension of the total significance of the proceeding. As to the former, not the slightest indication was discernible of any limitation whatever in respect of his thinking processes. And as to the latter, his answers, although tinged with teutonic inflection (he is a German national), flowed freely, he hadno need to search for the proper word, and his pertinent responses pounced upon the questions to which they related. Indeed, defendant was in full command of the situation.
22
We suspect that the instant application was precipitated by the acquittal recently of one of defendant's co-conspirators. In any event, on the merits the plea interposed to each of the three conspiracy counts by this defendant on May 1, 1972 must stand and his instant motion is denied in all respects." (emphasis added).

On March 21, 1973, Seiller was sentenced to concurrent three year terms of imprisonment on each of the three conspiracy counts to which he had pleaded guilty. The sentence was ordered to run consecutively to a New York State sentence which Seiller was then serving.8

'40 per cent of Monday market quotation whichever is higher in cash or bankers draft and fly back.' The Telex was sent under the cable address ORFI-COEAST, an acronym for Organization for International Finance and Commerce or Orfico International, Inc., a firm of which Seiller was president and the letterhead of which contained a Grand Central Station post office box and a Manhattan telephone number. The cable went on to give instructions on how the proceeds of the sale of blue chip stocks at a 60 percent discount were to be divided and also warned Sperber not to disclose too much information to Infanti so as 'to avoid that (sic) he can walk into some office in (Frankfurt) and make a deal without our knowledge.' "than 40 per cent of their value." Id. at 525.
"We may infer, however, that Seiller's office was in Manhattan from his letterhead containing a Grand Central Station box number and a Manhattan telephone number, and that the certificates were at some time in his possession there, since Seiller made the arrangements under which the securities were to be delivered. Furthermore, Seiller described the securities in a letter to Scholz on September 24 as being 'on hand', additional evidence for the inference they were at one time located in his Manhattan office." Id. at 527.

instrumentality of the Commonwealth,' performing 'an essential governmental function of the Commonwealth,' But, equally so is every legislatively ordained municipal corporation, school district or political subdivision. School districts especially afford notable examples of instrumentalities of the Commonwealth engaged in the performance of an essential governmental function, the responsibility for the discharge whereof is laid primarily on the Commonwealth by the Constitution, which declares that the General Assembly shall provide for the maintenance and support of a thorough and efficient public school system. Art. X, Section 1, P.S.

On interest is the recent case of Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission v. County of Fulton, 143 Leg.Int. 71 (Common Pleas Court Fulton Co. 1960) where it was held that land acquired by the Commission in connection with the acquisition of a right of way but not actually used for Turnpike purposes was subject to county taxes.

Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, supra-- holding the Commission to be immune from suits for negligence on the ground that as an 'instrumentality of

to Suits in Federal Courts, 45 Mich.L.Rev. 348 (1947). As we have already determined that a suit against the Commission is not a suit against the Commonwealth, the problems raised by the Kennecott, Ford Motor and Read cases, supra, in ascertaining whether a state has limited its consent to suit in state courts in not here present. The Commission is a 'citizen' of a state for purposes of diversity of citizenship jurisdiction of the federal courts. Suit was brought in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. The Middle District of Pennsylvania includes Dauphin County. The United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania is one of the 'proper courts at the county of Dauphin'. ThereforeThe negligence of the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission is alleged to have been its failure to erect a guard rail at the point where the vehicle operated by Carl went off the Turnpike after being struck by a vehicle operated by the defendant Harry William Emrick. Jurisdiction was based on a diversity of citizenship-- the plaintiffs are citizens of Connecticut, defendant Emrick is a citizen of Illinois and the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission is a citizen of Pennsylvania. In its Answer to the Complaint the Commission averred as its 'First Defense' lack of jurisdiction on the part of the District Court 'because it (the action) is in substance and effect against the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which has not consented to be sued or waived its immunity from suit.'

for a show after the length of time The Game has been on the air.
Tamera Mowry and Tia Mowry
The Game aired originally on The CW and was canceled after three seasons on that fledgling network before being re-born on BET. The cable network picked up the show after cancellation and turned it in to a massive hit on BET.
Pooch Hall is on his way over to another cable network. Pooch Hall says he’s signed up to play a part in Showtime’s new series Ray Donovan which is the real reason behind Pooch Hall’s departure from The Game. “Involvement on a new project,” is how Pooch Hall described his leaving the show on Twitter.
“Straight up now tell me do you really want to love me forever, oh, oh, oh,separate bedroom. Presley and Laing were described as "boyfriend" and "girlfriend," and they had a sexual relationship.
On July 31, 1995, about 4:30 p.m., Rossbach drove Laing in his car to visit a physician. *73 Laing had complained of having "the flu or something" and feeling "really sick." Laing and Rossbach returned from the doctor's office between 5:30 and 6:00 p.m.
Earlier that day, before Rossbach took Laing to the doctor's office, she stumbled and hit her head on a doorknob. In response to Rossbach's question "[a]re you all right up there?", Laing said, "Yeah. I just kind of slipped."
About midnight on July 31, 1995, Sandra Everhart arrived at the house. She went to Rossbach's bedroom, removed her clothing, and attempted to have sexual intercourse with him. Rossbach, who had

"too much to drink," was unable to have sexual relations with Everhart. Presley entered Rossbach's room and told Everhart, in Rossbach's presence, that Presley wanted to have sexual intercourse with her. Presley and Rossbach began to argue, and Laing, who had heard the conversation, appeared at the door to the room.
Laing was upset, and she told Presley to leave the room. She also directed Everhart to leave. Rossbach, in an effort to humiliate Presley, told Laing that he had not forgotten about a sexual affair that Laing had with a man named Tom. Presley had not known about this relationship. Laing denied the relationship, but Presley became enraged.
Sometime between midnight and 1:00 a.m., after Everhart left the house, Rossbach heard "banging and stuff going on." Presley and Laingthe police officers went to his home.
About 1:46 a.m. on August 1, 1995, Sergeant Eric Noble, a deputy sheriff with the Loudoun County Sheriff's Department, responded to a call from the defendant's home regarding an unconscious female. Sergeant Noble arrived at the house, Presley met him at the front door, and permitted him to enter. When Sergeant Noble entered Laing's bedroom, she was lying on the floor, her breathing was extremely "ragged and labored, and [she] appeared to be in [a] very serious condition."
After Sergeant Noble used his radio to request medical help, he asked Presley what had happened. Presley stated that "he beat the hell out of her on the floor, that he had hit her with the chair." Sergeant Noble saw pieces of a broken chair

above the victim's head. He also observed a large tear on the right side of her shorts, a small amount of blood on the victim's left thigh, and small spots of blood on the carpet adjacent to her body.
Another deputy sheriff, Clete Kresge, arrived at Presley's residence. Presley stated to Deputy Kresge twice, "I'll admit I did hit her tonight." Presley also told Deputy Kresge later that morning, "[s]he had pissed me off tonight ... I tore her to shreds." Kresge observed that the victim's blouse was torn, and her eye was discolored.
*74 Everhart testified at trial that she did not notice any bruises or physical marks on the victim's face when she had been at Presley's house on July 31. Rossbach also testified that Laing's eye wasnot discolored, and she did not have bruises on her body before her altercation with the defendant.
Laing was transported to the Loudoun Hospital Center where she died at 4:14 a.m. Dr. Frances P. Field, an assistant chief medical examiner for the Northern Virginia District Medical Examiner's Office, performed an autopsy on Laing's body. Field observed that Laing's body had a bruise on the right eye and a small reddish abrasion or scrape mark on the left forehead. Her tongue was bruised, and numerous bruises were found on Laing's legs, back, arms, and elbow.
Dr. Field determined that Laing had a large subdural hematoma on the left side and top of her head. A subdural hematoma is an accumulation of blood between the covering and surface of the brain. Dr.

incorporated the improvements into the two games to be released in North America. Since Pocket Monsters was already trademarked by another company in the United States, they needed to change the name - so, they just combined the words to form Pokemon. Since Midori did not sell well, they decided to change some aspects of it for the American release - including changing the name from the translated Green to Blue (although a "Blue" version was also released in Japan earlier, which improved on the original games). Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue were both very successful in North America, and a series was born.We look forward to hearing your story.

Every Story Night is a night to remember, but this one was extra special. We took our winners and a couple of others who had done well in the past year and put on a “Story Night of Champions.”
At the end we not only crowned the monthly winner, Josh Farley, we handed out a trophy to our “Storyteller of the Year,” Alison Loris. The night’s stories played a hand in creating the overall award winner, but Alison went into the night with a pretty big lead, based on her three wins and her participation at 11 different Story Night events.

Getty, Aero, and Reco are engaged in the leasing
of retail gasoline stations and the sale of petroleum products.
Getty acquired Aero in 1986, and acquired Reco on June 30, 1989.
Getty originally was incorporated under the name of
Power Test Corporation ("Power Test"), but changed its name in
1985. Between 1982 and 1985, Getty -- then called Power Test --
violated New York State statutes by defrauding 182 New York
gasoline-station lessees. In 1986, the New York Attorney General
filed a civil suit against Getty on behalf of the 182 lessees.
Getty settled the suit for a large monetary payment.

But despite two of the three passengers being top flight engineers on their way to fix a Boeing 767, no one noticed that half the left wing, containing one fuel tank, was missing. The unnamed pilot was forced to make an emergency landing at Jersey International Airport two hours later after he finally spotted the fuel gauge plummeting towards empty.
The drama unfolded as the Cessna took off from Brittas House Airstrip, 18 miles east of Shannon in Ireland last Friday.

that puts the role of communication ahead of the technical tasks of nursing. Prior to the rotation students understood that nursing duties included "comforting" and "educating" the patients as well as "managing beds, giving medications", "sending investigations, collecting reports", "maintaining hygiene" and "measuring vitals". The balance of comments shifted after the rotation. Following their shadow experience, students spoke more often, and with greater depth about non-technical nursing skills. The "job of nurses" in the students' eyes became much more than "daily duties" and "technical" tasks. Nurses were seen as "more approachable to patients than doctors" (Student 17). Students learned "ethical concern" (Student 18), and empathy: patients "want to be touched by us and given assurance" (Student 45). The empathy students felt for patients extended to the nurses whompolice killed one terrorist and captured the other in what observers are calling one of the bravest days in the history of law enforcement in America.

At the southeast corner of Soudan and Eglinton, Art Shoppe Condos by Freed Developments and Capital Developments has started to rise above Yonge Street. The architectsAlliance-designed project will bring 12 and 28-storey towers to the area, rising from a shared podium. Construction on the project will continue throughout 2018 and into next year. Upon completion, the project will introduce another 623 homes to the neighbourhood.

A few dozen metres to the southwest, a mid-rise condominium development is in the works to replace an auto service centre at Yongeand Hillsdale. A plan for the site was approved by Council in 2015 at 9 storeys, though this plan was eventually pulled from the City's planning website. A new proposal was submitted in late 2017, and marketing for the building—now at 11-storeys—has begun.

a week later, going somewhere else. So the timing of it is always a factor."
It's all rosy now in Austin, five months before the 2015-16 season starts. But that's largely because the Longhorns, like every team in America, are undefeated. This is a program that hasn't reached the second weekend of the NCAA tournament since 2008. The school's controversial athletic director, Steve Patterson, just fired a coach who missed one NCAA tournament (2013) in 17 years because he continued to struggle in a league that will return as much talent as any conference in the country next season.
"The coaches in this league, I mean it's a who's who and just the way that those programs are run and supported," Smart said. "Competing against those guys is a challenge.program. ... I think Coach Smart and his staff can handle it."
The native of Oregon, Wisconsin -- which rests a few miles south of Madison -- and first African-American basketball coach in Texas history liked the idea of raising his family (wife Maya, daughter Zora) in Austin, which finished fourth on Parenting Magazine's list of America's best places to raise a family in 2013 and 20th in WalletHub's rankings of the most diverse cities in America for 2015.
"He always had a formula for what it would take to leave VCU," said Monica King, Smart's mother. "Texas is the next step up. Quality resources, recruiting pool, good place, lots of diversity to raise his child. That took a lot of places off the list. He wasn't going to end

he eventually exited Smart's life for the last time on a date his son will never forget: Dec. 12, 1994.
"To be honest, there's probably a little area inside me that has [questions] I haven't really dealt with or accessed," Shaka Smart said. "For him to be here now [hypothetically], I've kind of moved on. [It's] 20 years ago, so it's not really something I've thought about. And my mom has been with me every step of the way."
He was a biracial kid with an afro in a predominately white community, the son of a white mother and a black father who abandoned him. Of his three brothers, two were white and one was biracial. The most influential men in his life, his grandfather Walter King and high schoolcoach Kevin Bavery, were both white. He played on two basketball teams as a kid: one mostly black, the other primarily white. These realities factored into his battle with his own identity. He had to explain the makeup of his family to strangers, and he argued with other kids who didn't believe he was related to his white siblings.
A teacher once asked his mother, "Where in Africa did you get that child?"
It got worse.
Racial tension in his community escalated the day that members of a nearby KKK chapter passed leaflets to students in the parking lot of Oregon High School. His mother told Smart that he and his older brother could transfer to another school. But Smart rejected the idea.
"He said, 'We've gotta stay because, otherwise, they win,'"

King recalled.
Smart's response to that hatred? He organized a multicultural event for folks in his high school who felt like outsiders. He invited kids with disabilities and members of the Hispanic, African-American and gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgendered communities. He convinced Stu Jackson, the former executive director of the National Basketball Players Association and a former assistant at Wisconsin, to deliver the keynote speech.
He never wants those around him to feel marginalized or forgotten.
That's why he touches his players when he talks to them. Looks into their eyes. Asks about their families and their girlfriends. Calls them by their nicknames. Hey, Big Shaq! (Shaquille Cleare). Challenges them to pull-up contests. Lifts weights with them. Shows up at their dorms and apartments to check on them after sundown.
Cries with them.
"I've had some reallyfortunate breaks," Smart said. "I've been lucky to be around some people that looked out for me and mentored me."
He's turned coaching into a platform to build consensus and give young men, some without fathers, a sense of community.
"It just makes you want to play for him," said David Hinton, a former VCU walk-on who now works for the Department of Homeland Security in Washington, D.C. "It was tough to see him leave [VCU]. They thought he was gonna stay forever."
Tevin Mack wants to live.
But his dazed look suggests that he's unsure if he'll survive his first time in Smart's "Ironman Drill," which requires players to take a charge, dive on the floor for a loose ball and save another ball headed toward the sideline. It's the same

RCC which prohibits membership in secret societies. Many churchmen in the days of the Founders were ALSO Freemasons.
As today, the Masonic lodge was a place where prominent local political and business leaders met.
The constitution was written by christian, free masons and rosacrucians - groups that have always been warring against each other. Ben Franklin was a member a many different secret societies, including FM, RC, and another call Hellfire's Club - a group that practiced orgies and devil worship. T Jefferson was also thought to be a freemason, belonging to a group in france. Many other founding fathers were either freemasons or rosacrucian-organizations that are not "christian".
That being said, the constitution was not necessarily christian. but christians should always stand for righteousness and justice according to the SCRIPTURESand theocracies; in fact they seem to be in complete oppostition of each other.
The 1st U.S. Constitution of America is called The Mayflower Compact, signed on November 11, 1620. The 2nd U.S. Constitution of America was signed on September 17, 1787. The 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution sanctioned on December 15, 1791, The precedent stipulates: "Congress will make no law prohibiting the free exercise of religion". I encourage all to freely and publicly share their faith. And if ANY ONE tries to censor your right to this freedom, sue them.

Bryant and how he's gone again (a left knee fracture will sideline him at least six weeks) or that Brook Lopez's broken right foot is expected to keep him out for the season likely means these Brooklyn Nets will go down as the most expensive failed experiment in league history. The list of fallen stars and broken blueprints continues to grow, but that doesn't mean the Suns' silver-lining story isn't worth paying attention to.
When Dragic first heard that the Suns had traded for another point guard in early July, he wasn't about to give up his job without a fight. Phoenix, which hired new general manager Ryan McDonough and rookie coach Jeff Hornacek to clean up last season's mess (25-57 record, worst in the West), brought former LosAngeles Clippers' speedster Eric Bledsoe to town as part of a three-team deal. And Dragic's role, at first glance anyways, appeared to be at risk.
"When I was back in Europe and as soon as I found out, I said, 'OK, I've got competition,'" he said. "In the end, I talked with Jeff, and he told me that probably we were going to play most of the minutes together."
They've done more than play together. They've played exceedingly well together.
With Hornacek employing a two point-guard system that is similar to the one he thrived in with Kevin Johnson during their Suns playing days in the late 1980s, Dragic and Bledsoe are having career years and the Suns — who have won seven of their past eight games — have gone

people who died in their sleep and from my experience it seems fairly common.
My grandma died in her "sleep", said sleep being at least somewhat morphine induced. This was about a month ago - she had pneumonia, my mother was there. She closed her mouth and breathed one more breath, and my mom said there was no sign that she woke up.
My grandmother did. She was in a nursing home and it was clear she didnt have long left. She was asleep but the room was cold so my mom lay down next to her and put her arm around her. Mom dozed off for a minute, woke up and grandma was gone.
My husband and some friends were on vacation. One of the party decided to lie downup at 3AM, mother in law felt bad he couldn't sleep, he went back to bed, she woke up at 7AM, made him some chorizo an hour later and went into the bedroom to wake him up and found him dead as a doornail.
I was told this story by my grandmother. My grandfather was quite sick. Terminally ill. He was at home, not in a hospital, because he wouldn't have it any other way. He was asleep, and my grandmother was in another room in the house. She heard him call out "[Grandmother's name], can you come in here?" No sign of pain or distress. So she went in to the bedroom, and he said "I'm going to die now." Again, no pain, no distress. And she said

On October 25, 1988, Rabin recorded a quitclaim deed giving title to "Lori Williams an unmarried woman."1 On November 10, 1988, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") filed the first in a series of tax liens against the property in order to satisfy outstanding employment taxes owed by Rabin and Marco Polo 1, a partnership in which Rabin was a general partner. On January 19, 1989, Williams filed a petition for dissolution of her marriage to Rabin.

On approximately May 9, 1989, Williams entered into an escrow agreement to sell the house. On June 26, 1989, the IRS recorded another lien. Underhowever, there is a high demand for cotton in textile manufacturing which makes it expensive for paper manufacture. As a result, refined wood pulp replaced cotton in the manufacture of paper due to its relatively inexpensive cost and abundant supply. In the advent of the manufacture of board material such as cardboard and paperboard, cotton was not considered due to its high cost. As a result, such board materials have historically been manufactured using traditional wood pulp as described above. A need, therefore, exists for a process for making a board material which utilizes the abundant supply of post-industrial and post consumer cotton scrap in a nonwoven process utilizing conventional paper making equipment.
As a result of the industrial manufacture of textile products from cotton such as apparel, carpet,

heroin – in Hayes' overdose death. The father of five, who worked for Google at the time of his death, previously held positions at Sun Microsystems and Apple. He died Nov. 23, 2013 and Tichelman was arrested eight months later on July 4.
Tichelman was taken into custody after being lured back to Santa Cruz County in a prostitution sting. Detectives, posing as potential clients, lured her to an upscale location with a promise of an excess of $1,500. Clark said when she was arrested she had a fully loaded needle with heroin in it.
Santa Cruz police first arrested her in connection with second-degree murder, but prosecutors later officially charged her with manslaughter with great bodily injury.
Investigators said the 26-year-old woman made no effort to help Hayes, whom shemet on the "sugar daddy" site called Seekingarrangement.com, and instead gathered her belongings and even gulped a glass of wine before leaving. Hayes’ body was found the next morning by the ship’s captain at the Santa Cruz harbor.
Santa Cruz Deputy Police Chief Steve Clark said there is video of this heroin interaction, but this week declined to release it.
Hayes' death has prompted police in Milton to re-examine the case of 53-year-old Dean Riopelle, the owner of a popular nightclub owner, who died in September 2013 while Tichelman was with him near Atlanta last year.
The two had a volatile relationship, according to two Milton police reports.
On Sept. 6, 2013, police were called to Riopelle's home, (PDF) where Tichelman ended up being charged with battery and reporting a false crime.

Vice Pres Cheney Sees Wood As New FERC Chairman - NYT
05/25/2001
Dow Jones Energy Service
(Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.)
WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- Vice President Richard Cheney expects Texas Public
Utilities Commission Chairman Pat Wood to become chairman of the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, according to Friday's New York Times.
In an interview for an upcoming episode of the PBS series Frontline, Cheney
says, "Pat Wood's got to be the new chairman of the FERC, and he'll have to
address" various problems in electricity markets, according to theTimes
article, part of a joint effort with the Frontline program.
The article says current Republican FERC Chairman Curtis Hebert received a
call from Enron Corp. (ENE) Chairman Kenneth Lay this year prodding him to
back a national push for retail electricity competition and faster access to
the power transmission grid in exchange for Enron's support of Hebert in his
new job.
It quotes Hebert as saying, "I was offended."
Lay, one of President George W. Bush's largest campaign contributors,
provided the White House with a list of preferred candidates for FERC posts
and had access to the White House energy policy task force chaired by Cheney,
the article says.
Wednesday the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee approved Wood and

[Study of nasopharyngeal colonization by Streptococcus pneumoniae and its antibiotics resistance in healthy children less than 2 years of age in the Marrakech region (Morocco)].
The healthy carrier of Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) has been studied very little at the national level. With the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains worldwide, and the emergence of new serotypes, an epidemiological survey is needed before the vaccine can be introduced in Morocco. This study's objective was to determine the prevalence and risk factors of pneumococcal nasopharyngeal carriage in children less than 2 years of age in the Marrakech region and to assess the antibiotic susceptibility of the isolates and the serotypes present prior to the introduction of the conjugate pneumococcal vaccine. From 2008 to 2009, 660 nasopharyngeal samples were collected on children underand Ponderosa had a dispute with defendant union. At the construction site, which was fenced, Constar designated one gate as "reserved" for Ponderosa. There, the union could and did picket whenever Ponderosa was doing work or having supplies delivered. The other gate was for the use of all others working on the building, and there the Union was not to picket. This arrangement has become common at construction sites. It was developed to accommodate the right of the union to picket the employer with whom the union has a dispute, the "primary" employer, while avoiding unlawful, "secondary," picketing of other employers on the job, with whom the union has no dispute. The latter activity is prohibited under Sec. 8(b)(4) of the Labor

of Religious Outreach for the 2004 Kerry-Edwards
campaign, has launched the "Matthew 25 Network,"
a political action committee aimed at reaching out to diverse Christian
communities. The group's name is drawn from Matthew 25:35-40, which
admonishes Christians to remember: "For I was hungry and you gave me
something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink...
'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these
my brethren, you did for me.'"
Although the group is still working on its website,
the Matthew 25 Network has already endorsed Obama for "his vision for
America and his leadership that brings people together from across
different political and faith spectrums."
The Matthew 25 Network's invocation of the parable of Christian
charity fits nicely with the Obama campaign's message of hope and
societal change. But otherportions of Matthew make it a somewhat
curious choice. The passage opens, for instance, with the parable of
the ten virgins, "which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the
bridegroom." Five of the virgins were foolish, and brought lamps but no
oil; the remainder wisely brought both. When the bridegroom arrived at
midnight, the five foolish virgins were sent to buy oil for their
lamps; but the five "that were ready went in with him to the marriage:
and the door was shut." When the five foolish virgins returned, they
were barred from the marriage chamber and admonished to "Watch
therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of
man cometh."
Matthew 25 also contains a parable about the man who gave money to
his servants before leaving on a trip. The first

His killer, Mumtaz Qadri, became a hero, and an estimated 100,000 mourners attended his funeral following his execution last year.
The ire of the Barelvi sect, which on non-blasphemy issues is generally considered moderate, was rekindled last month after Taseer published a video expressing solidarity with people entangled in blasphemy allegations.
He called for the release of both Bibi, who remains on death row, and Nabeel Masih, a Christian teenager arrested last year for “liking” on Facebook a picture of the Kaaba in Mecca, Islam’s holiest site.
Taseer also demanded the repeal of what he called the “inhumane” blasphemy laws, a longstanding demand of international human rights groups who say the laws are widely abused by people who level falsesuch as milk and dairy, fruits and vegetables, animal fats, processed meats, alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and ready meals tends to increase consistently with the level of household income, demonstrating the mixed effects of education and income in determining food intake \[[@CR43], [@CR44]\].

Tayshaun Prince is a free agent and may not return. Ben Wallace says he's leaning toward coming back, but he turns 37 in September and played only 54 games last season.
Wallace was asked earlier this month about the possibility of playing for Woodson.
"I think Mike would do a great job. I think he did a great job with Atlanta," Wallace said. "I think he took those guys as far as they were ready to go. I think he'd be a great fit for us."
Woodson was Atlanta's coach from 2004-10. He went 206-286 in those six seasons and took the Hawks to the playoffs the last three years. Woodson was let go after Atlanta was swept in the second roundIn December of 1962, Warren Buffett was 32 years old and gaining notoriety as an investor in Omaha, Neb. But at the time, his strategy wasn't the "buy and hold" philosophy that he is now known for.
Instead, he was looking to buy low-priced stocks — ones from companies that weren't necessarily well-run businesses but that could prove profitable investments because of their rock-bottom prices.
"If [the stocks] were cheap enough, he didn't care it was a lousy company and lousy management. He knew he was going to make money anyways because of the cheapness," Charlie Munger says in HBO's documentary, "Becoming Warren Buffett."
One such investment was Berkshire Hathaway.
"I bought the first shares of Berkshire in 1962 and it was a northern textile business destined to become extinct eventually," Buffett

"She opened [an] impeachment inquiry without even seeing one word of evidence," he said. "[E]ven her own members questioned that she moved too soon. And when the evidence was released the Democrats, and many of the media, twisted it to what they wanted to believe."
Before the recent scandal involving the phone call with the Ukrainian president, numerous Democrats had pushed impeachment proceedings or even outright impeachment – mostly over the results of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Trump campaign links to Russia and whether Trump attempted to obstruct the probe.
That probe did not reach a conclusion on the obstruction issue and did not find evidence of collusion. Pelosi’s statement earlier in the week marks the first time Democratic Party leadership has gotten behind the impeachment effort.

Howe, the then district attorney of the United States for said eastern district of Louisiana, that appellant should relinquish to the United States the lands described in the entries.
The pardon is attached to the petition and recites appellant's conviction for violation of § 5440, Revised Statutes, in two cases, in each of which he was sentenced to imprisonment for one year, and in one, to pay a fine of $3,000, and in the other a fine of $2,500. The sentences were commuted to the payment of the fines and costs 'upon condition that he [appellant] shall havepreviously made full restitution to the satisfaction of the United States district attorney for the eastern district of Louisiana in respect to all lands, land titles, or claims to lands.'
Thereupon appellant executed releases of the three tracts, which were the same, the description of the lands only being different. They were as follows:
'I hereby relinquish to the United States all my right, title, and claim in and to the following described lands, to wit: . . . reserving, under the laws of Louisiana, the right to all improvements, or the value thereof, with all taxes heretofore paid, and to proceed against the United States for the same.'

Such generous financial protection for the Bakries was among the reasons Golkar helped the Yudhoyono government remain stable in the face of nationwide protests at the president's generosity to the conglomerate.
Golkar is now the second biggest party, after the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), which supports President Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo. Jokowi and the PDI-P have been trying to lure Golkar to join their coalition and form a majority in the House of Representatives, but to no avail.

Patrick King said his Sunday afternoon started off normal. He walked to a neighborhood store and on his way back home he stopped to chat with a friend in his front yard.
But suddenly, King said he was confronted by Akron police officers on Para Avenue.
"Basically pulled up alongside of me, jumped out and asked me for my ID," King said.
King, 47, spoke to News 5 Tuesday morning from the Summit County Jail, where he's being held without bond on multiple charges, including resisting arrest and drug abuse.
King admitted he lied to police about his identity, but insisted he wasn't doing anything wrong.
"They wanted to handcuff me and I didn't want to be handcuffed and I said, 'What for? What for?' And, they got one handcuff on me andI plan on suing."
Akron police said the video doesn't tell the entire story.
Deputy Chief Jesse Leeser said King was spotted leaving a known drug house and lied about who he was. An officer got one handcuff on the 6-foot-4-inch, 220-pound man, but he ignored multiple commands and resisted for several minutes," Leeser said.
Leeser said a Taser, body strikes, and eventually six officers, were needed to control King.
"He was obviously actively fighting with these officers. They were winded. The fight had gone to the ground. Not only did he have the handcuff as a weapon possibly, but the officers were also very exposed. We're not ground fighters," Leeser said.
King denied visiting a drug house and said he did not assault officers during the struggle.
"I didn't swing at the officers.

as a source of stored phosphorous in virtually all plant feeds (Graf (Ed.), 1986). Phytic acid forms a normal part of the seed in cereals and legumes. It functions to bind dietary minerals that are essential to the new plant as it emerges from the seed. When the phosphate groups of phytic acid are removed by the seed enzyme phytase, the ability to bind metal ions is lost and the minerals become available to the plant. In livestock feed grains, the trace minerals bound by phytic acid are largely unavailable for absorption by monogastric animals, which lack phytase activity.
Although some hydrolysis of phytate occurs in the colon, most phytate passes through the gastrointestinal tract of monogastric animals and is excreted in the manure contributing to fecal phosphate pollutionCrosswalk.com aims to offer the most compelling biblically-based content to Christians on their walk with Jesus.

enjoyed Argo may be, it is not a traditional actors' film. Much closer to a thriller than a traditional drama, the film has little opportunity for the kind of scenery-chewing, full-throated emoting found in Silver Linings, Lincoln, or Les Miserables. Indeed, all those films received individual awards on Sunday night for Jennifer Lawrence, Tommy Lee Jones, and Anne Hathaway, respectively. Nonetheless, despite passing over its individual actors, SAG gave its big prize (known as "The Actor") to a film populated with enjoyable but one-dimensional performances.

As actors comprise the biggest branch of the Academy, of all the many predictors, their prize is closely watched by Oscar pundits. Even though a mere eight of the last eighteen winners of the outstanding cast prize have won the Oscars' Best Picture, thestrength of the acting branch upon the larger Academy is such that the prize is seen effectively as a tiebreaker in a close race, canceling out the previously all-important predictor: the fact that only three films in Oscar history have won the Best Picture prize without their helmers being nominated for Best Director (the last was Driving Miss Daisy in 1989).
But even more important than touching this or that base on the established road of Oscar precedents, what hadsome observers throwing up their hands tonight and proclaiming the race over was the fact that SAG confirmed the one undeniably upstoppable force in Oscardom: the law of momentum. After SAG, the Producers, and the Globes, Argo rides into the final stretch on a head of steam it would seem

All single-chip DLP projectors are potentially subject to the rainbow effect, in which little, red-green-blue glints may appear, particularly around brighter areas against a dark background. With the P1383W, such rainbow glints were apparent in certain data images that tend to bring them out.
In video testing, the P1383W proved suitable for showing short video clips as part of a presentation. The rainbow effectshown by developers in the past few years.

Even with bare minimum plotlines, early NES RPGs had a wonder attached to them, and the SNES and PS1 games after them drew upon that with a fierce creative passion and brought that wonder into a new generation of technology. It feels like it all died after the sixth generation of consoles. Suddenly gaming was a place to

GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - A truck crashed into a crowd of people in western Guatemala on Wednesday evening, killing 18 people, authorities said early on Thursday, correcting downward their initial assessment.
The truck struck a group of people who had gone onto the road to inspect another person who had been hit by a car, Cecilio Chacaj, a spokesman for the local fire department, told Reuters.
The crash killed 18 people, including an eight-year-old girl, the Attorney General’s office said. Nineteen people were admitted to hospitals with injuries, the ministry of health said in a statement.
The accident took place in the municipality of Nahuala, west of Guatemala City.
“At this time we are coordinating our response to bring full support to the relatives of the victims,” President

conspiracy that Stanford ... and others would cause the movement of millions of dollars of fraudulently obtained investors' funds from and among bank accounts located in the Southern District of Texas and elsewhere in the United States to various bank accounts located outside of the United States ... in order to exercise exclusive control over the investors' funds."
Auditors learned that funds were moved through Stanford-controlled accounts to offshore banks, including HSBC in London, Bank Julius Baer in Zurich and eight others; banks which have figured in past money laundering or tax-avoidance scandals. None have been charged with an offense in connection with the affair.
In all, 28 numbered accounts were listed by prosecutors, veritable black holes that escaped scrutiny; that is if regulators in Washington were minding the store,which they weren't.
Years earlier, SEC investigators at the commission's Ft. Worth office uncovered evidence of wrongdoing. According to an explosive report by the SEC's Office of the Inspector General, Ft. Worth examiners launched a series of probes in 1997, 1998, 2002 and 2004 exploring SIB practices but their diligence was sabotaged by high-level officials.
That report, Investigation of the SEC's Response to Concerns Regarding Robert Allen Stanford's Alleged Ponzi Scheme, Case No. OIG-526, March 31, 2010, paints a damning picture of the regulatory process.
The inspector general states: "While the Fort Worth Examination group made multiple efforts after each examination to convince the Fort Worth Enforcement program ('Enforcement') to open and conduct an investigation of Stanford, no meaningful effort was made by Enforcement to investigate the potential fraud or to

bring an action to attempt to stop it until late 2005."
Last month, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported that staff members, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they feared management retaliation, told the newspaper that higher-ups wanted "tools to do away with people who have a dissenting opinion."
Senior managers called the probes a "goat screw" and ordered them killed.
The OIG investigation "found that the former head of Enforcement in Fort Worth, who played a significant role in multiple decisions over the years to quash investigations of Stanford, sought to represent Stanford on three separate occasions after he left the Commission, and in fact represented Stanford briefly in 2006 before he was informed by the SEC Ethics Office that it was improper to do so." (emphasis added)
In Florida, Thefrom an inquiry opened in October 2006," that is, nearly a decade "after a routine exam of Stanford Group, according to Stephen J. Korotash, an associate regional director of enforcement with the agency's Fort Worth office."
Korotash told the Times that the SEC "stood down" its investigation "at the request of another federal agency, which he declined to name."
According to BusinessWeek, in 2006 the Bush administration "bestowed on his intelligence czar ... broad authority, in the name of national security" to excuse companies from "their normal accounting and securities-disclosure obligations" if such disclosures revealed "certain top-secret defense projects."
At the time, William McLucas, the Securities and Exchange Commission's former enforcement chief told the publication that the ability to conceal financial information from regulators under the rubric of "national security" could

And then there is the weird and wonderful stuff, such as making a client a bouquet of "flowers" made from 100 folded 1,000 Hong Kong dollar notes, so he could give it to his partner on Valentine's Day.
Or covering an entire beach with carpets so a member and his girlfriend didn't have to get sand on their feet, and organising a flash mob in New York's Times Square.

After brainstorming sessions with friends Ben Elliot and Paul Drummond, they came up with the idea for Quintessentially.
Securing investment from a group of private investors, the business was launched in London in 2000 with a party to which they invited more than 200 movers and shakers. Customer numbers then grew strongly thanks to positive word of mouth.

Upon retirement appellant withdrew from his pension fund his accumulated deductions (contributions and statutory interest) in the amount of $95,300.70, and began receiving a gross monthly annuity of $1,883.61. Appellant then assumed status as a senior judge. On November 18, 1986 appellant's assignment as a senior judge in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas was revoked by order of this Court. Appellant was forever barred from judicial office by order of this Court on November 4, 1987.[6]
On June 29, 1988 appellant was convicted in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, of two counts of extortion under the Hobbs Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1951. Appellant's convictions were premised on the fact that he extorted, by use ofhis position as a Senior Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, approximately $300 from Stephen Traitz, Jr. and the Roofer's Union in December of 1985, and approximately $300 from attorney *592 Barry Denker in October of 1986. On December 8, 1988 the State Employes' Retirement Board (SERB) notified appellant that his pension would be forfeited retroactive to June 29, 1988, the date of appellant's conviction in Federal Court, pursuant to Act 140.[7] The Commonwealth Court affirmed the order of SERB on April 2, 1990. This Court granted appellants' petition for allowance of appeal.

FROM DETROIT PAPERS

"SOJOURNER TRUTH.
"
A veteran worker--her 'mission'--the colored paupers about Washington and what to do with them
.
"For several days past, Sojourner Truth--the 'Libyan Sibyl,' as Mrs. Stowe has aptly termed her--has been the guest of Mrs. Nanette B. Gardner, on Howard Street, where many friends, and strangers as well, have called to see and converse with this veteran worker in the cause of her own race. Already past fourscore years and ten, she yet maintains a constitution and mind unimpaired, and has an amount of vigor that betokens a 'green old age' indeed. Those who have before heard her lectures, will doubtless remember well the strong, and yet well-modulated voice, and the characteristic expressions in which she delivers her addresses, as well as thepith and point of her spicy sentences.
"To all calling upon her, she asks the question, 'Do n't you want to write your name in de Book of Life?' to which query, the counter one in relation to the same 'Book of Life,' is generally put, and Sojourner is usually gratified by the chirography of

The book in question contains scores on scores of names, of different individuals throughout the country, including many persons of note, senators, authors, politicians, etc. Foremost in the list is Lucretia Mott's, who signs herself a 'co-laborer in the cause of our race.'

The following extract from a letter written by Mrs. C. A. F. Stebbins, to the editor of the

"'There could be no wider possible gulf between Dives and Lazarus, in the day when the impoverished and despised cravedwheel, that I believe all will be so fortunate in this, for experience in the valley of humility saves, no doubt, some bitter regret, and necessitates reflections on wasted opportunities which may lead to the realization that all are brothers, and human wants are ever the same.'
"Sojourner proposes to solicit government aid, in the way of having some portion of the as yet unoccupied lands of the West donated for the purpose as set forth in the petition first mentioned, and there to have suitable buildings erected, and schools established where the now dependent thousands of colored people may go, and not only attain an independence for themselves, but become educated and respectable citizens, instead of the 'trash'--as she denominates

is married to a Danish woman, and has been for a while. His earliest experiences living in his wife's homeland, however, were far from zestful, and so the oft-repeated and -replicated surveys indicating that Denmark is "the happiest place in the world" stuck in his craw. "The happiest? This dark, wet, dull, flat little country ... with its handful of stoic, sensible people and the highest taxes in the world?" To judge from this book, Booth is one of those slightly grouchy Brits who enjoys a good battle of wits for its own sake; what's society without a bit of verbal rough-and-tumble, after all? He bridled at not just the brutal taxes in Denmark but also its social conformity, "the predictable monoculture, the stifling insistence on lowest-common-denominator consensus,the fear of anything or anyone different from the norm, the appalling public manners and the remorseless diet of fatty pork, salted licorice, cheap beer and marzipan."

It was an impression -- a sharp one of Denmark, which Booth knows best, but getting vaguer when it came to the peripheral nations of Iceland and Finland -- that he had gained of all of the Scandinavian nations. (A more precise word for them would be "Nordic," as sometimes only Denmark, Norway and Sweden are included in the term "Scandinavia.") To learn the truth, Booth visited all five nations and wrote "The Almost Nearly Perfect People," a sort of group portrait and travelogue inflected by his experience writing feature journalism for glossy magazines like Monocle.

Filing dismissive of college officials' fears about suit

A new filing in the Ed O'Bannon likeness case against the NCAA questions Delany's recent claims on what a plaintiff victory would mean for Division I athletics.(Photo: Walt Mancini, Associated Press)
Lawyers representing former and current college football and men's basketball players in an anti-trust lawsuit against the NCAA and two other defendants on Thursday dismissed claims from various college officials that a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs would result in some major athletics programs dramatically scaling back sports.
In March, lawyers for the NCAAwrote that if the association's current amateurism rules were lifted, as proposed in a lawsuit pertaining to the use of college athletes' names, likeness and images, some schools might exit Division I or the Football Bowl Subdivision because of the financial and legal burden that would result from needing to share revenue with football and men's basketball players.
The assertion was backed by written statements from a group of conference and university executives, including the University of Texas' top athletics officials, the chancellor of the California State University system, the presidents of Utah State and Wake Forest, and Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany.
In seeking certification of their suit as a class action, the plaintiffs' lawyers said that although they are seeking monetary damages on behalf of former athletes, they

It is an afternoon on a March day. Cammy is in her kitchen in Hyde Park.
She cuts out the zoo staff's photos of Fiona resting on a keeper's lap and a couple of her drinking.
She pastes the photo of herself with her Flying Pig 5K medal, right next to the one of her about to dive into a swimming pool. A few page flips later, there's a smiling Cammy, then a toddler, atop her father's shoulders during a zoo visit.
The book will help Fiona have confidence, Cammy thinks. Cammy was born prematurely, and she runs and she swims now. She wins races.
Cammy picks up her pencil.
"Dear Fiona, You are awesome. I am so glad you are here along with yourmom and dad. The Cincinnati zoo is the best place to live," she writes.

There's almost every photo we have released of Fiona in this, Rice thinks as she flips through the pages.
Cammy's book has just arrived in Fiona's mailbag at the zoo.
A couple of months ago, the keepers started a list of all the people who wrote them so they could send thank you notes. But the few letters turned into hundreds and then into thousands.

Filmmakers Karan Johar and Ekta Kapoor and actor Kangana Ranaut have been awarded the Padma Shri, officials said on Saturday.
Singers Suresh Wadkar and Adnan Sami, as well as veteran TV actor Sarita Joshi have also been conferred with the fourth highest civilian award of the country.
The Padma Shri for this year has been awarded to a total of 118 eminent personalities across fields of art, literature and education, medicine, trade and industry, sports, public affairs, social work and science and engineering.

Connors in his win over Agenor at '91 RG: 50% on 1st serve, 63% on 2nd. This stat comes from the ATP so it could be wrong, but I'm posting it because in my survey of ATP stats I always found their stats from the 1991 season to be correct.
Nadal had lower success on 1st serve than on 2nd serve in each of his first two matches coming back from his layoff (in Vina del Mar). It has not happened again in his 6 matches since then; his 1st serve success in those first two matches was down at 63% and 65%, but it has been higher

Bolton also dismissed the now-defunct Obama-era nuclear deal with Iran in no uncertain terms as "the worst diplomatic debacle in American history."
Last month, the Trump administration restored major sanctions against Iran that had been suspended under former President Barack Obama's 2015 nuclear deal, threatening to further unravel the Islamic country's already-struggling economy. Bolton on Tuesday said the sanctions had already had a "crippling" effect on Iran's economy, and threatened to send its housing market into a recession.
Thousands protested across Iran in the wake of the decision, as soaring unemployment and povertyprompted demonstrators to torch police vehicles and burn tires. At least one person was shot and killed in the protests, with some shouting, "Mullahs get lost!" and "Death to the dictator!" the Fars news agency reported at the time.

Iranian lawmakers, on video, burned American flags and chanted, "Death to America" after Trump ended the deal.

MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
ZAGEL, District Judge.
Plaintiffs filed a class action complaint in 1991 against the Chicago Housing Authority ("CHA"), Vincent Lane (as chairman of the CHA), the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"), and Henry Cisneros (as the secretary of HUD). The plaintiff class is composed of applicants for public housing and residents of three public housing developments, the Henry Horner Homes, Henry Horner Extension and Henry Horner Annex, referred to collectively as "Horner" or the "Horner developments." Plaintiffs allege that by failing to maintain the Horner developments, defendants have, in effect, demolished Horner in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1437p of the United States Housing Act, the

"in the opinion of many residents, staff and housing activists," Horner "is the authority's most troubled development ...," and "one of the most distressed public housing properties in the nation." In January 1991 the conditions at Horner included: non-functioning elevators, darkened hallways, lobbies and stairwells, broken, boarded-up and leaking windows, broken trash chutes and common areas cluttered with refuse, missing exit, stairway and fire escape signs, broken or missing stairwell doors, defective stairwell handrails, treads and landings, presence of human and animal waste in public areas and open, vacant apartments, broken screen doors and windows, numerous vacant units and abandoned laundry rooms with open or missing doors. Many of the enumerated conditions violate the City of Chicago Building Code. In September 1992 these same conditions existed at Horner.[4]
Shortlyafter plaintiffs filed the complaint in this case, building inspectors from the City of Chicago, Department of Buildings, inspected the Horner developments and found 570 "dangerous and hazardous" ("D & H") violations of the Building Code. The City defines D & H violations as items in disrepair that pose an immediate danger of life and limb to CHA residents and Authority personnel. The inspectors found such violations in all 21 Horner buildings. After the inspection, the City filed 20 enforcement actions and one administrative proceeding against the CHA, seeking monetary and injunctive relief for the 570 D & H violations and 146 other violations of the Building Code. In February *813 1992, the CHA entered into an Agreed Order of Consolidation and Stipulation with the City regarding the

where Cayce in his visions explains what he saw through the eyes of the ancient scientist-priests who were responsible for the creation and maintenance of the giant power crystals known as
"Tuaoi"
stones or "firestones":
We find the entity was in the Atlantean land when there were the preparations of those things that had pertained to the ability for the application of appliances to the various elements known as electrical forces in the present day; as to the manners and ways in which the various crafts carried individuals from place to place, and what may be known in the present as the photographing from a distance, or the fields of activity that showedbe opalescent, while the light would be indicated from the top in the rays of the white light.
[The TUAOI stone] was in the form of a six-sided figure, in which the light appeared as the means of communication between infinity and the finite; or the means whereby there were the communications with those forces from the outside. Later this came to mean that from which the energies radiated, as of the center from which there were the radial activities guiding the various forms of transition or travel through those periods of activity of the Atlanteans.29
These
"terrible mighty crystals",
as Cayce called them, though they were initially created by the followers of God (whom Cayce referred to as
"The Law of One"),
or possibly handed down from Adam, the control of these crystal

(lit., "dark spider" or "gloom weaver"), was conceived by Tolkien as a fallen Maia who personified the evil power of darkness, the night, and especially the Void. Ungoliant may have had some cognate in the Hopi concept of
"spider woman",
a great spider deity that they believed had helped create the world, and to this day still sits at the center of the world, weaving the destinies of mankind.34 However, unlike Spider Woman in the Hopi mythos, who was essentially good, in the Tolkien mythos, Ungoliant represented the power of the Void to devour all life and light, and the power of death to destroy all things.
Melkor and Ungoliant Killing the Two Trees of Valinor. Ungoliant, who took the form of a gigantic, hideous, black spider, was the personification ofdarkness and the Void, and nearly as powerful as Morgoth himself.

A Silmarillion Chronology.
Melkor had determined in his heart that he would have possession of the Silmarilli at any cost, so he promised Ungoliant all that she desired as a reward for helping him to destroy the two trees that enlightened his dark world and to capture the Silmarilli. Finally agreeing to his request, Ungoliant wove a web of shadows around them both, which hid them from the eyes of even the Valar, who were busy celebrating an important festival and their watchfulness had temporarily grown lax. In this hour of the power of darkness, wicked Melkor used his great spear to stab the two trees to their cores, and their living sap flowed out onto the ground

The Lord Of The Rings: The Return of the King (The Complete Recordings)
Howard Shore
Rating:
The final film in The Lord Of The Rings blockbuster trilogy features the climax of the epic journey that brought Tolkien’s world before our very eyes. The Complete Recordings series featuring the soundtrack albums have been hits and award winners.
This five-disc set caps off the "complete recordings" series, which offers extensive versions of Howard Shore's score for The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Though it includes the climactic trek toMount Doom, the overall mood is less dark than in The Two Towers. The London Philharmonic Orchestra handles the heavy lifting, with help from adult and children's choirs, and well-selected guest stars. Soprano Renée Fleming, for instance, lends a particularly eerie, otherworldly touch to disc 1's "The Grace of Undómiel," and disc 4's "Mount Doom" and "The Eagles." Meanwhile, flutist James Galway provides a quasi-spiritual counterbalance, a musical ray of hope on tracks such as disc 3's "The Mouth of Sauron." And of course, Annie Lennox's Academy Award–winning "Into the West" is here, incorporated in disc 4's "Days of the Ring." Finally, the fifth disc is a DVD-Audio that includes the score in super-duper surround sound. It may seem like overkill, but too much is never enough for

was unable to secure the repayments. It is thought that he informed Mark Jacob, Portsmouth's executive director, and Daniel Azougy, who oversee Portsmouth in Faraj's continuing absence, of his disquiet then.
Speaking to the Guardian last night Chainrai said: "Portpin have made substantial loans to Portsmouth to try and ensure the club's future. Portpin will [now] continue to work for the best interests of the club." He hopes to appoint two new members to the Portsmouth board today and is intent on stabilising the finances before looking to attract investors.
Faraj turned to Chainrai for money after his takeover from Fahim, via his investment vehicle Falcondrone Limited, in early October. The deal bought Faraj 90%, while Fahim retained the remaining shareholding and became Portsmouth's non-executive chairman. Faraj's takeover, though, hitalmost immediate difficulties. Faraj and his associates struggled to source the finance to keep the club a going concern. They turned to Chainrai who, through Portpin, provided the loans.
It is understood that Chainrai and his associates had continually sought a meeting with Faraj to discuss the issue of repayments. But Faraj, a Saudi Arabian businessman, has never visited Portsmouth since he took over and Chainrai was unable to secure face-to-face talks.
Despite being Faraj's lawyer Jacob has also admitted he has never met his client. Chainrai was yesterday in London, where he held a series of meetings before overseeing the move to freeze Faraj's holding in Portsmouth.
Portsmouth, who lost 1-0 at Fulham last night, have endured a financially stricken season which has included failing to pay their players on

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Rafael Soriano, the former Tampa Bay reliever acquired in the offseason by the New York Yankees over the public objections of general manager Brian Cashman to serve as a high-priced "Bridge to Mariano [Rivera]," is currently a bridge to nowhere.
Soriano was placed on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday, retroactive to May 14, due to lingering stiffness and soreness in his pitching elbow. Soriano's bullpen session on Monday was cut short when the soreness persisted, and he was sent back to New York for an MRI and a consultation with team physician Dr. Chris Ahmad.
Although the MRI came back "clean," according to manager Joe Girardi, the decision was made to shut down Soriano in the hope his problem would be cured by rest.

Republican John Kennedy won Louisiana’s Senate runoff Saturday night, capturing the seat he sought as a Democrat in 2004 and cementing a GOP Senate majority of 52 seats for the beginning of President-elect Donald Trump’s administration.

Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy told USA TODAY Sports that Marshall Henderson is as passionate and energetic as ever, and that the Ole Miss guard will open practice with the Rebels on Friday - putting an end to the suspension that barred Henderson from any offseason workouts this summer.
Henderson was suspended indefinitely on July 10 for a violation of team rules. According to police reports obtained by USA TODAY Sports this summer, Henderson had three run-ins with police in Oxford, Miss., including one stop in which Henderson was found in possession of marijuana and cocaine.
"He will miss games, but this is a process," Kennedy said by phone Thursday afternoon. "When he was suspended in early July, he wastold by (school officials) that in order to put an Ole Miss basketball jersey back on, he had to earn it. That meant he had no access to our practice facilities. From July to the end of August, he proved he had taken those steps in the process, so he earned the right to be back on the team. Since we started school at the end of August, he's been conditioning with the team and he'll be at our (the first) practice Friday. The number of games he'll miss is undetermined."
Kennedy anticipates Henderson's game suspension to be announced as early as October by school officials. He's unsure if Henderson will attend SEC Media Days next month or when he'll address the media.
Kennedy said he believes Henderson has learned

had not been as bad as she initially feared. Many of those gathered at the base of the cathedral on Monday were tourists and pilgrims visiting for Easter holidays. Others were local, there to pay their respects. "I came because we live in Paris and because, well, last week we were all there, having a drink on the steps of the cathedral, enjoying the beautiful flowers in the garden," said Fatima Marie, a 35-year-old Parisian. "We thought it would be better to be here among friends."
Donia Hammami, 35, a trade expert, ran to the scene from her nearby gym when she saw the reports of the blaze. She was in tears in the crowd, watching the cathedral burn. "For me, this has been an inspiration for so manyother churches in Europe," Hammami said. "It's been here for all those ages." "This is a historic moment for all of us, in the worst possible sense of the term," she added. Flames and smoke rise from Notre-Dame Cathedral as it burns in Paris. Credit:AP Europe is full of historic structures that have been rebuilt following damage during both war and peacetime. But experts despaired that the loss to Notre-Dame was incalculable and unrecoverable.
"It's not just the medieval features," tweeted Kate Wiles, a scholar at King's College London. "It's a palimpsest of work and rework, and building and rebuilding, and we've lost all those layers. It's not just the 'original' masterpiece we're losing, but the culmination of some 900 years of history, which can't just be rebuilt." The

Andy, 57, was one of the demonstrators at the front of the march. He told JOE that he always planned on attending the protest but Robinson's affiliation "made it even better". "People in the country have got to wake up because within a year it's finished," he said.
Comparing the march to the recent 'Yellow Vest' demonstrations in Paris, he added: "Look at France: they can't control them.

The first attempt to found a Communist Party of Canada was in February 1919. It was necessarily illegal because the repressive law outlawing the IWW, communist, socialist, syndicalist, anarchist, and all other revolutionary organizations, was still in effect. The plans for the founding conference were betrayed and the police caught several of the participants. Two leading comrades, John Boychuk and Tom Bell, were sentenced to prison terms. Two others were deported and later became active in the founding of the Communist Party of Germany, one of them, Comrade Ewert, becoming a member of its Central Committee. Mrs. Florence Custance was arrested but released without official charges, and resumed her activity immediately.

A gay man who reached out to a mental health helpline in Russia was called a "faggot" by an operator who then outed him on social media.
The man had called "FROG", a helpline based in St Petersburg for people dealing with mental health issues.
After explaining he was gay and needed support, the operator told him the helpline "isn't for faggots" and hung up on him.
The FROG website claims to provide 24-hour support. "If you want to talk, to understand yourself, if you need support and someone to listen to... Call! We help everyone!"
After the incident, the man reached out to the organisation's director, Alexander Bronshtein, to complain – but he was told the operator had done no wrong.
"You were told that [we] don't work with faggotry and thenyou were wished all the best. What was rude about this?" Bronshtein asked the man, arguing the Russian word "pedorastiya" – which translates to "faggotry" – was an acceptable term.
The man then reported the incidents to a support group for young LGBT Russians, Children 404.
Lena Klimova, the founder of the group, posted about the man's experience on the social media network VKontakte.
Bronshtein responded with a now-deleted post on the network. "We really don't treat people for faggotry and this caller was informed of that, and wished all the best," he wrote.
"Except you [Lena Klimova] erased his information for some reason, and left mine. If you're taking screenshots, then do a full screenshot. You don't need to hide your friend's name."
Bronshtein also posted screenshots of his conversation with the

in this world, Superman's rocket landed in 1938 in Nazi-occupied territory and Hitler raises the child. Everything in the story (which Morrison compares in scope to Shakespeare and HBO epics) will evolve from that point, with Superman realizing, in his twenty-fifth year of life, the precise nature of Hitler's evil and realizing "who the baddie is". Deciding instead to take down the Nazi regime and create a utopia, Superman won't stray too far from how he's been raised, with Morrison promising sweeping Wagnerian architecture and a melodramatic world. He promises the story will delve deep into Superman's inner conflict; he's created a Utopian society that looks perfect but "is built on the bones of the dead" and has to come crumbling down. At this point in the story,in 1956, Morrison will re-introduce the Quality characters known collectively as The Freedom Fighters, this time making them both literal and figurative enemies of Hitler. Uncle Sam, the last remaining vestige of America, will again form and lead the team. Quoting Emma Lazarus ("Give me…your huddled masses yearning to breathe free"), Morrison teases a team featuring a version of Dollman who's a Jehovah's Witness, a homosexual Ray, a gypsy Phantom Lady and an African version of Black Condor in what Morrison calls "the return of the oppressed." Thematically, the story will deal with a society under siege by terrorists who are in the right, and the regime they're striking against knows it.
"Ultra Comics" will be a story set in the real world and involves the technology Morrison had

up seeing a counselor. "It just put me in a daze," she says. "It was really hard to get through a day without thinking about it."
Menendez's parents, meanwhile, have been completely shattered. Approached at the federal courthouse after Maubert-Cayla's sentencing, they declined to talk about their son's death. But in letters to the judge handwritten in Spanish, they detailed their pain. Manuel Menendez described saying goodbye to his "Lito" and never seeing him again "the day that the sky and heavens collapsed on my head." Ileana Menendez told of crying in Raul's bedroom, where the unchanged sheets still smell faintly of him.a number of new combination locks that were adaptable to different types of weapons. In the spring of 1961, there was a series of hearings in Congress, where Sandia presented the prototype of a special electro-mechanical lock, which was then known still as a "Proscribed Action Link." The military leadership, however, soon realized that this term had negative connotations for the use of weapons by the officer corps (proscribed = "prohibited"), and changed the meaning of PAL to "Permissive Action Link" (permissive = "allowing / tolerating").
In June 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed the National Security Action Memorandum number 160. This presidential directive ordered the installation of PALs in all U.S. nuclear weapons in Europe. All other U.S. nuclear weapons were excluded at that time. The conversion

what he said publicly and admits his previous statements were factually inaccurate in Duncan’s article. But in 2017, the endorsement from a top former NSA official was enough to get the attention of right-wing talk show host Sean Hannity, and, from there, the President.
Last November, CNN reported that Pompeo, at Trump’s urging, had recently met with Binney to discuss the theory.
Duncan elaborated further in a Wednesday interview with Defense One. He said the GRU ultimately revealed their own ruse in their efforts to encode the timestamps and make sure they were seen. “You would find great difficulty in preserving those timestamps when you sent them through the Internet. Normal compression methods would not preserve those July five dates. In order to make the dates work, they had toQ:
What is the significance of the FBI source saying 'John' Haldeman?
In All the President's Men, as I understood it, Woodward and Bernstein had already established that "someone high up in the White House" was the fifth controller of the slush fund. They later concluded that "the fifth controller was 'Haldeman'".
When they talked to their FBI informant to get confirmation, which they got, Woodward notices that the FBI source specifically says John Haldeman, and acts like this is a big deal, or new information, or is in some way significant.
There's no indication in the film or in some brief wikipedia browsing that there were multiple Haldemans in the government, let alone in the White House, let alone "high-up in the White House" so why is this a big deal?

a barber at Arndale shopping centre, her son had resisted the haircut and was crying when he got home later.
College principal Zulfiquar Ali said it was school policy to get parental permission before students were taken from the school grounds.
"We do not take the students out of the school without the parents' consent and if we have taken someone out of the school we have taken them out with their parents' consent," he said.
He denied the boy had been taken against his will and said the school obtained permission from his "caregiver" but would not confirm who that was.
"I spoke to the child myself and the child said he was very willing to get the haircut and his mother was not taking him to the barber [as] shethe child's parents are not approaching us?" he said.
South Australian Education Minister Susan Close issued a statement.
"If true, this seems an inappropriate overreaction to what should be a routine matter of upholding a school policy on uniform and appearance," she said.
The Department of Education and Child Development's (DECD) Anne Millard said it was a school responsibility to enforce dress codes.
"The DECD, which sets policy for government schools, does not consider non-compliance with a school's dress code a serious enough offence to deny a student access to learning," she said.
Earlier protests by parents outside the college have alleged financial mismanagement, unfair dismissal of staff and a decline in academic standards.
The schools registration board has been asked to ensure the Australian curriculum is being taught appropriately at the college.
