Before L. HAND, Chief Judge, and SWAN and CHASE, Circuit Judges.
L. HAND, Chief Judge.
1
This is an appeal, by leave of this court, of "Prudence Bonds Corporation (New Corporation)" and Reconstruction Finance Corporation, from an order in bankruptcy, awarding allowances to four sets of attorneys for services performed in the reorganization of the Debtor, Prudence Bonds Corporation, begun in 1934 under §appeals separately.
Silbiger's Allowance
2
Silbiger was retained in the reorganization by one, Eddy, who held bonds in several "Surplus Series" and even more bonds in several "Deficit Series." Since the collateral securing each "Surplus Series" was no more than enough to pay that series in full, principal and interest, the result of Silbiger's appeal in the "Construction Proceeding" was to take from the "Deficit Series" what the district court had awarded to them and give it and more to the "Surplus Series." Because Eddy held bonds in both "Surplus" and "Deficit Series," his individual interest in the "Construction Proceeding" was conflicting; if the final decision was for the "Surplus Series," he would receive interest in full upon the bonds which he held in those series, but he would lose any

relationship. Approximately a week prior to the murders, Freeman had a conversation with Francis Boozer, a co-worker, and told her that he would rather see Sylvia dead than [for] someone else have her.
"At about 1:00 a.m. Deborah Gordon Hosford returned home. She found the lights of the home turned off and the door unlocked and slightly ajar. She went inside and noticed that the house had been ransacked. She went to her sister's bedroom and found Sylvia, dead, in her bed with multiple stab wounds and clad only in a T-shirt and socks. As she was fleeing the house, she saw her mother, [43-year-old] Mary Gordon, lying in a pool of blood on the floor of her bedroom. Mrs. Gordon was clad only in a shirt, with herbody being nude from the waist down with her legs spread apart.
"Police arrived at the Gordon home and found blood throughout most of the house. Mary Gordon was stabbed 14 times by Freeman; two wounds were fatal. She lived for about five minutes [after being stabbed the first time]. She had also been raped, and the semen deposited in her was consistent as having been left by Freeman. Sylvia Gordon was stabbed 22 times by him, and she remained conscious for eight to ten minutes after the first wound was inflicted. None of the wounds were fatal; Sylvia Gordon bled to death. Examination also revealed that Sylvia Gordon had tears in her vagina. Additionally, police found a shoe print on the shirt of Mary Gordon and a shoe

print on a card found on the floor near the body of Mary Gordon. Police also noted that all [telephone] lines in the house had been cut.
"Freeman had brought a knife with him and used it to brutally kill Sylvia Gordon because she did not want a relationship, as well as [to] kill Mary Gordon when she walked in on the murder. After committing the murders, Freeman stole the Gordons' 1980 Pontiac Sunbird and put his bike that he had ridden to the Gordon home in it and fled the scene. He attempted to establish an alibi by later going to work. The Gordons' car was found in a parking lot near *170 Freeman's apartment. Freeman's fingerprint was found on the car and blood that was consistent withthat of Sylvia Gordon and Mary Gordon was also in the car. Additionally found in the car was a butcher knife that had been cleaned of blood. The butcher knife was examined by an expert in trace evidence with the Department of Forensic Sciences and was determined to be consistent with having caused the wounds to Mary Gordon, to cut the bra and panties of Mary Gordon, and to cut the jeans of Sylvia Gordon.
"When the police arrived at Freeman's apartment, Freeman answered the door, and the officers noted a bandage on Freeman's right hand. When asked how he cut his hand, Freeman lied, claiming that he had cut his hand while repairing a chair. Freeman was arrested at his apartment. The police, upon a consent to search,

said that when Mary Gordon entered the house, he had no choice but to kill her. He also said that when he saw the victims trying to get to the telephone, he pulled the telephones off the walls to prevent Mary and Sylvia from calling for help. After brutally killing the Gordons, Freeman placed his bicycle in the trunk of the Gordons' car, fled the crime scene in the car, and abandoned the car in a parking lot near his apartment.
"The capital crime of the intentional killing of the victim during a robbery or an attempted robbery is a single offense beginning with the act of robbing or attempting to rob and culminating with the intentional killing of the victim. The offense consists of two elements, robbing anduntil I knew they weren't going anywhere before I got the car keys."
(R. 3223.)
The evidence also showed that the Gordons' house was ransacked. Sylvia was stabbed 22 times; no one single wound was fatal. There was a trail of Sylvia's blood throughout the house, and her blood was smeared in almost every room of the house. She also had suffered defensive wounds on her hands, and the bite marks on Freeman's arm, seen by the police after his arrest, were positively identified as having been made by Sylvia. The medical examiner testified that Sylvia survived for approximately eight minutes while she bled to death.
The medical examiner also testified that Mary Gordon survived for five minutes before she died from the 14 stab wounds inflicted by Freeman. According to

to admit they might have sent innocent people to jail for crimes that never occurred."
Enter Martha Coakley, who took over as the local district attorney in 1999. By that time, public opinion was running sharply in favor of the defendants. (Violet had recently died of cancer, left penniless and broken by the accusations.)
Coakley was willing to allow Cheryl to go free. But as far as Gerald, that was a different matter. After all, he was a man, the "primary male offender," as Coakley put it. (She never explained how it is possible to have a "primary offender" for a crime that never took place.)
So when the Massachusetts Governor's Board of Pardons voted 5-0 to release Gerald Amirault in 2000, prosecutor Martha Coakley channeled her inner community organizer andmedia maven. She unearthed sympathetic parents to lobby the Massachusetts governor to overturn the Board's recommendation. Then she organized media events where persons spoke movingly of their fear of Gerald's planned release.
These maneuvers kept Gerald behind bars for two more years. Even afterwards, he was forced to wear an electronic tracking device, to report every time he left his house, to obey a curfew, and to avoid certain parts of town. This precluded him from finding regular employment.
This legal travesty did not attract national attention until last Fall. At that point, Coakley held a nearly insurmountable 30-point lead over her Republican challenger.
Then Ann Coulter devoted her December 9 column to the case, calling it the "second-most notorious witch trial in Massachusetts history" and charging Coakley had "kept a

1000 BC is around the date of Northern Semitic influence (change of politicial system & adapting the Abjad), even the language became West Semitic.
There was an older Semitic (or Proto-Semitic) layer that spoke a language related to South East Semitic language (Modern Arabian), Archaeology shows an older culture in the Ubar region, the Semitic languages spoken today in that region are very distant from West Semitic & truly belong in the East Semitic family.

Does it mean that Soqotrans are the earliest population of the island of Socotra, and they are of the Semitic wave that had came from the Eastoldest human population of East Africa who have gone out to populate the Earth.There are quite interesting textes by Yaqut, al-Hamdani as well as Marco Polo, Ahmad Ibn Majid or the unknown author of "Periplus of the Erythraean Sea". Some people say that Soqotra is Atlantis. Sure, there were a nomber of visiting people of different origins through ages coming to Soqotra and even living here for some time.Hjwever, the thruth is that today the native population of Soqotra is speaking jne of the oldest Semitic languages of the world closely related to Classic Arabic, Akkadian, Hebrew and athers of that ancient kind thich are @"written languages" now.

supplanted by the final Award [the Draft]. (CR145 (emphasis supplied)).
The Draft never saw the light of day except as an attachment to the Award.2 So why
did the Arbitrator attach a draft to his award? It was to explain why he ruled against
Holland on his frivolous lawsuit claim:
I attach the ruling I had written and submitted to the AAA the day
before Richie v. Rupe was announced by the Texas Supreme Court.
The Richie case, by its terms, overruled years of precedents from the
rules of the American Arbitration Association...Rule 46

Background {#Sec1}
==========
On November 30th 2018, the United States, Canada, and Mexico signed their 'NAFTA 2.0' agreement, generally referred to as the USMCA or, in Canada, the CUSMA and, in Mexico, the T-MEC (each country is entitled to position itself first when referencing the agreement). Negotiation of the agreement was strained and took place in the context of the US Trump Administration's imposition of steel and aluminum tariffs affecting both Canadian and Mexican manufacturing. In doing so, the US invoked a 'national security' exemption under World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, subsequently challenged under WTO dispute settlement rules, but likely years away from resolution. Trade war pressures emanating from the Trump Administration are widely seen as leading to a 'NAFTA 2.0' that is largely beneficial to US corporate and politicalinterests, although both Canada and Mexico were able to protect some of their own interests.
The three countries have deeply integrated economies: Canada and Mexico are the top two trading partners of the US, while Canada and Mexico rank third with each other. The total value of trade in goods and services between the three countries in 2017 was USD 1.3 trillion, USD 673 billion in US/Canada trade, USD 616 billion in US/Mexico trade \[[@CR1]\], and USD 33 billon in Canada/Mexico trade \[[@CR2]\]. Economic reliance on exports to the US, however, is greater for both Canada and Mexico than the reverse, given the much larger size of the American domestic economy. All three countries have made positive claims about the new agreement, emphasizing its economic benefits to their own

A US corporation sued a provincial government after an environmental impact assessment rules against its massive quarry and marine shipping terminal, in part because it was contrary to community values. Despite the investor winning the suit, the panel, noting the quarry was unlikely ever to go ahead, denied the US\$477 million investor claim for 50 years of lost profit and awarded only US\$17 million for lost opportunity costs \[[@CR38]\].
As with other new FTAs, such as the CPTPP, the USMCA has been promoted for the positive impact it will have on economic growth and employment creation. But there is also the question of who benefits from such an agreement. To date there have been two econometric studies attempting to estimate economic and employment gains arising from the USMCA, both focusingon the US. In April 2019 the US International Trade Commission (USITC) released a lengthy study in which it forecast gains of US\$68.2 billion and 176,000 new jobs \[[@CR42]\]. However, these simulated gains rest on several assumptions, including only slight restrictions on the ability of dislocated workers to move to other employment, and an attempt to model "reduced policy uncertainty", a novel approach not embraced by many other economists. Remove the "reduced policy uncertainty" assumption and the US economy declines slightly, losing US\$22.6 billion in value and almost 60,000 jobs. The second study, published one month earlier by the IMF and using similar econometric modelling to the USITC report but without the "reduced policy uncertainty" assumption, concluded that, at most and across all three countries, the USMCA would

a widow is not shaved on the
tenth day after the death of her husband, his soul is not admitted
to heaven, and the funeral ceremonies performed in his honour bear
no fruit. [1290]
The heads of such widows are shaved on the banks of the Godavari or
at Benares or at some other holy place in the neighbourhood. [1291]
The spirits of the dead are represented by balls of rice flour or
cooked rice, and offerings of water, cotton thread, red powder,
abir (white scented powder), red lead, sandal paste, frankincense,
lamps, sesamum seeds and of the leaves of the Tulsi, the tamarind,
the Agathio or Agathi (Sesbania grandiflora) and the Bhangra, and
the flowers and seeds of the Java, are made to them.
The ancestral spirits are also represented by chats (twisted braids
of the Durva grass (Cynodon Dactylon)),a
cocoanut and walking seven times round it. [1580]
In some places, on the day preceding the Holi, which is known as
Kamala Holi, sweet stuffed cakes are prepared, and on the Holi Punema
day vermicelli is eaten. [1581]
The fuel for the Holi fire is generally collected by boys. At
about two in the afternoon on the Holi day a party of boys goes
from house to house and receive five to fifteen cow-dung cakes
from each household. These cow-dung cakes are bored, and strung on
strings. [1582]
The fuel thus collected is heaped at the village boundary or the
end of the street. All the male residents of the village or street
meet at the spot, a pit is dug, and earthen pots filled with wheat,
gram and water mixed together are placed in the pit and covered with
cow-dung

A federal judge says Kentucky can't require poor people to get a job to keep their Medicaid benefits, chastising President Donald Trump's administration for rubber-stamping the new rules without considering how many people would lose their health coverage.
The decision is a setback for the Trump administration, which has been encouraging states to impose work requirements and other changes on Medicaid, the joint state and federal health insurance program for the poor and disabled. Kentucky was the first state in the country to get that permission, and the new rules were scheduled to take effect Sunday in a northern Kentucky suburb of Cincinnati.
But Friday, U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg blocked the rules because it said the Trump administration never adequately considered whether the changes would comply with thecentral tenet of Medicaid: Providing health care for its citizens.
"The Secretary never provided a bottom-line estimate of how many people would lose Medicaid with (the new rules) in place. This oversight is glaring," wrote Boasberg, an appointee of former President Barack Obama. "For starters, the Secretary never once mentions the estimated 95,000 people who would lose coverage, which gives the Court little reason to think that he seriously grappled with the bottom-line impact on healthcare."

Alexander challenged this rating successfully through CSC's human resources department, eventually getting his performance rating increased to a 3 and obtaining a merit-based salary increase. Alexander asserted that his negative performance evaluation was unjust and resulted at least in part from race and age discrimination and nepotism on the part of his supervisors.

The three men accused of assassinating a senior Hamas commander in March have confessed to the crime and admitted that they received instructions from Israel for carrying out the killing, according to Gaza officials.
Mazen Faqha, of Hamas's military wing, was fatally shot in the head and chest at the entrance of his Gaza City home on March 24.
"The three collaborators confessed that they received instructions to surveil Faqha and his home," Major General Tawfiq Abu Naim, commander of internal security forces, said in a news conference on Tuesday.
A "large security operation" resulted in the arrest of "a network of 45 Palestinian collaborators" within the Gaza Strip, he added.
"The assassination was carried out by Israeli intelligence officers who were communicating [with the collaborators] through telephones and communications equipment."
The announcementcame five days after Hamas said it had arrested Faqha's killer, adding that the suspect had carried out the assassination on Israel's orders. Ismail Haniya, the newly-elected leader of Hamas's political wing, said on May 11 that more details would be released soon.
A video released on Tuesday showed the steps, including Faqha's surveillance, carried out to assassinate Faqha according to the confessions obtained by Hamas.
Hamas says the video proves Israel's role behind the operation.

Israel's defence ministry has denied involvement in the assassination, Al Jazeera's Harry Fawcett, reporting from Ramallah, said.
"However, this was a man [Faqha] on the top five of Israel's most wanted," Fawcett added.
Israel has a history of carrying out extrajudicial assassinations of Palestinian leaders, both political and military, including

Miz defeated Ambrose to win the Intercontinental Championship for the seventh time.[229]
Leader of The Miztourage (2017–2018)
Miz in March 2018
On June 5 episode of Raw, during a in ring celebration segment sponsored by Maryse, Miz attacked and destroyed Maryse's gift, a grandfather clock, which Miz thought to be Ambrose within the present.[230] On the June 19 episode of Raw, Maryse was the special guest on Miz TV where Miz apologized for the previous events, but came to use her as a shield to protect himself from Ambrose, causing Maryse to pour champagne on herself and then destroying the grandfather clock that he had restored, which led to Maryse abandoning him again. Afterwards, Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel, who Miz had approached earlier in the evening offering to make them"the stars [they] deserve to be" if they became his "entourage", revealed themselves to have hidden in bear costumes during the segment, allying with Miz by attacking Dean Ambrose.[231] On June 26 episode of Raw, Miz and The Miztourage fought against Ambrose, Heath Slater and Rhyno in a winning effort.[232] On July 3 on Raw, after an argument between the two, Raw General Manager Kurt Angle scheduled two title defenses: Miz successfully defended his championship against Slater that night[233] and against Dean Ambrose at Great Balls of Fire on July 9, due to interference from the Miztourage. At the SummerSlam pre-show on August 20, Miz and The Miztourage defeated Jason Jordan and The Hardy Boyz (Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy) in a six-man tag-team match.[234]

In Re Bernard L. Madoff, Debtor v. Irving H. Picard
The opinion of the court was delivered by: John G. Koeltl, District Judge:
OPINION AND ORDER
These consolidated bankruptcy appeals arise out of the multi-billion dollar Ponzi scheme orchestrated by Bernard L. Madoff ("Madoff"), and the subsequent bankruptcy of Bernard L.

The thickness of the largest thymic lobe at computed tomography (CT) was measured retrospectively in 21 relapse free patients who had undergone chemotherapy for non-seminomatous testicular cancer. CT was performed at initial staging, at completion of chemotherapy and 3 to 12 months later. Enlargement of the thymus occurred in 7 patients, one of whom had a reduced thymic size at the first two examinations after chemotherapy. A temporary reduction was detected in another patient in whom the original thymic size was regained 19 months after start of chemotherapy. The mean age of the group with thymic enlargement was 21 years compared with a mean age of 28 years in the group with no increased size. The age difference between

season – opened the door for the Brighton and Hove Albion shotstopper.
Now 26, Ryan looks back on his formative years with Vukovic with fondness, and says the guidance of then-manager Graham Arnold alongside Crawley proved crucial in hardening his competitive edge.
"We had a really good group there [at the Mariners] – a group that not only created an environment to become better players but also better people as well and there was no better person than Graham Arnold to be at the helm,” he said.
"Without that guidance there in the beginning from those sorts of guys I probably wouldn’t be where I am today."
Ryan in action against Gold Coast United in 2010.
When Vukovic traded Gosford for Konyaspor after the 2009/10 Hyundai A-League campaign, Jess Vanstratten assumed the roleof Mariners number one.
But another unforeseen opening fell Ryan's way when Vanstratten suffered an ACL injury just four rounds into the 2010/2011 season.
Graham Arnold remembers it well.
"It was the day before a game, I had to throw Maty in, and the rest is history," Arnold told socceroos.com.au.
"I think he felt as well that I didn't have that first belief in him and trust, but he just had this attitude that he wanted to prove me wrong.
"John Crawley, his mentor, had this huge belief in him. He was trying to convince me year one, give the kid a chance, the kid won't let you down, and after we lost Vukovic things couldn't have turned out any better."
Ryan would go on to clinch Young Footballer of the Year back-to-back before

In turn, Jenner notices the world passing her by, and answering a silent “come join us” invitation from the cellist, boldly takes off her wig to reveal perfectly coiffed brown hair underneath. She takes herself outside, picks up a cold can of Pepsi and strides confidently through the center of the crowd, fist-bumping and hugging the other protesters, who appear delighted that she’s joined the march. Then, she sees the police line.
Kendall Jenner knows just what to do. She hands her Pepsi to the cop, and the photographer crouches down to snap her shutter at just the right moment.

They said that even though they supported thought Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2014, the Centre meted out a raw deal to AP. A heated argument ensued with Narasimha Rao trying to explain to them 'the real picture'. Upon the intervention of the organisers, the Telugu NRIs staged a walkout, raising 'Jai Telugu' slogans.
Condemning the incident, Narasimha Rao said that the TDP NRIs tried to disrupt the programme after being directed by the party headquarters. "These are cheap propaganda tactics of the TDP. We knew that messages were circulated earlier to TDP

This is the either the number of Jacks or Unters held in unbroken sequence, beginning with the Jack of Clubs or Unter of Acorns or, alternatively, the number not held in unbroken sequence. The number of matadors plus one is then multiplied by the base value of the trump suit (Bells: 9, Hearts: 10, Leaves: 11, Acorns: 12 or Grand: 24). For example, if Bells are trumps and the declarer holds the Unters of Acorns, Leaves and Hearts, but not Bells, his score is (3+1) x 9 = 36.

1. The traditional Chinese "handshake" consists of
interlocking the fingers, waving them up and down several times. This
greeting is rarely used today (except during festivals, weddings and
birthdays of the elderly), instead using the Western-style handshake. A
slight bow should often accompanies the handshake, but do not bow from
the waist in the style of the Japanese. The Chinese prefer a gentler
handshake than the firm grip expected in Western cultures. Physical
contact other than a handshake is highly discouraged unless you know
someone quite well.
2. Chinese names are "reversed" from Western names. The surname is said
first and then the given name. For example, Bruce Lee's name in
Cantonese is Lee Siu Lung. Lee is his surname and spoken first, and the
given name (Little Dragon) is spoken second.

me at my request since I hadn't seen it. I thought it should be subtitled "Scenery Chewing" since that's what the myriad of powerhouse stars did: ham it up. The central plot is about a couple workers at a gym who bumble into trying to sell government secrets for money. The secondary plots revolve largely around a polygon of infidelity that further confounds the main story. The storyline ends up pretty flavorless, dosed in spices by the actors.
Slapstick of Another Kind at home on Laserdisc, December 27: The cover of this disc made the movie look terrible and, well, it was. It's ostensibly based on a novel called Slapstick: or, Lonesome No More!: A Novel by Kurt Vonnegut. While I've only read a couple summaries of the sourceand as the children, and numerous comics make appearances as well in the cast. The humor is as broad and lifeless as possible, and the plot is terribly boring. But I came to conclude it may be a perfect telling of a story about humankind being unable and incapable of anything but mediocre intelligence: while the book comes from one of the most highly regarded authors of all time, the movie is the product of average people who couldn't help but drag the quality to one of lackluster banality.

to Italy, the wordsmithy script was readily apparent. The barely likeable Bob was matched to even less likeable characters. I found myself way too ahead of the film, or at least clued-in to the key points long before they were revealed as a surprise. Contrived situations aside, the wordsmithiness makes for a perfectly acceptable story and an interesting movie to watch. It just has its weaknesses. Jenn had further noticed that Tom Hardy played Bob and Coogan and Brydon relentlessly and hilariously mocked Hardy's mumbling speaking style.
Appropriate Behavior at the Little, October 17: Jenn and I went to the other ImageOut Film Festival film festival tonight. It's the tale of falling in and out of love too fast and maintains a cunning and funny wit all throughout. Ouronly complaint is that the lead character Shirin's love interest Maxine seemed kind of cruel and unlikeable, so it was hard to believe in any severity to the breakup, and although real love is strange, movie love needs to be believable.
Little Accidents at the Little, October 25: Jenn and I went to see this as part of the High Falls Film Festival. It's about the people in a mining town where one man survives a major mining accident.

"The

fires were there sending out gusts of smoke. On the southern sky
there was a bright pearly zone. This was an ice 'blink,' a reflection
of the ice beyond our horizon upon the particles of watery vapor
suspended in the air. As night came upon us it became necessary to
choose between the forbidding blackness of the north and the more

scene more despairing, though, than the 'Belgica,' as she pushed into

swell that drove against the ship brought with it tons of ice which
was thrown against the ribs with a thundering crash. The wind howled
as it rushed past us, and came with a force that made us grasp the

belief is that McCarthy will call plays in 2020, several sources indicated he was impressed by Moore, who has only two seasons of coaching experience.
Fassel had been the Rams' special-teams coordinator since 2012, and he has regularly overseen one of the top units in the league. In 2017, kicker Greg Zuerlein, punter Johnny Hekker, returner Pharoh Cooper and long-snapper Jake McQuaide were named to the Pro Bowl.
"'Bones' Fassel has been an integral part of our special teams operations since before I joined the Rams in 2017," Rams coach Sean McVay said Wednesday. "His knowledge and understanding of critical game situations and his special teams play calling have helped us rank among the best in the league in those areas. Our best wishes are with John and the Fasselfamily."
The Cowboys' special teams struggled in 2019. Brett Maher missed 10 field goal attempts before his release late in the season. The Cowboys had the worst kickoff return average in the NFL and allowed a blocked punt in a 13-9 loss to the New England Patriots.
At different times during his tenure with the Packers, McCarthy had a substandard special-teams unit.
Tomsula had been the Washington Redskins' defensive line coach since 2017 after a nine-year run with the San Francisco 49ers that began when Nolan was the head coach. In 2015, he was the Niners' interim head coach.

As many as 250 officers and support staff searched 12 properties last week and rescued the workers from their situation, Barnum said.

(Reuters/Landov)Photo: Men are shown walking amid rubble after another Boko Haram attack in Nigeria in this file photo.
JOS, Nigeria - After weeks of sacking villages and destroying church buildings around Nigeria's northeastern town of Gwoza, Islamic extremist group Boko Haram on Wednesday (Aug. 6) killed an estimated 100 people in the predominantly Christian town, sources said.
The shooting, fire-bombing and slashing of men, women and children in Gwoza, Borno state, as initially the military reportedly fled before an insurgent force backed by international terrorist groups, began at about 4 a.m., producing eyewitness assertions that Boko Haram, which seeks to impose sharia (Islamic law) throughout Nigeria, had taken control of the town of more than 276,000 people. Local residents reportedly said at least 100 people had been killed.
The full magnitudeof the attack and the Nigerian military response was unknown as most sources have been forced to flee to Cameroon or Adamawa state, but on the initial day of the assault Pirda Tada, a Christian resident of Saha village, told Morning Star News that Boko Haram gunmen arrived in Toyota Hilux vehicles and motorcycles and attacked houses with Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and fuel-bombs.
"I thank God for sparing my life, but three of my neighbors and members of our church were killed during the attack," Tada said. "These Christians in our village had their throats slit with knives while their hands were tied behind their backs. Some houses were bombed as the Boko Haram gunmen were chanting, 'God is great!' in Arabic."

By his own admission he was seeking a short cut to freedom from marital responsibilities and initiated the deportation proceedings with his story to the Immigration authorities which he prefaced with the remark that he "would like to get (his) wife deported." The admission into evidence of the husband's testimony and his ex-parte statement, particularly when cross-examination was improperly limited, the admission into evidence of the purported statement of the alien taken without the aid of an interpreter,facilities were identified: university, small volume, and large volume private hospitals. Respondents rated facilities on a five-point scale for staff quality; size and consistency of surgical teams; and overall likelihood of recommending the facility. Separately, 140 posterior lumbar procedures from two institutions were retrospectively reviewed. Two time periods were quantified for each surgical case: patient arrival in the OR to induction of anesthesia (T1) and induction to surgical incision (T2). T1 and T2 were compared between university and large private hospital settings using t tests and multivariate analysis.

a prisoner transferred to a hospital out of medical
necessity retained the legal status of arrestee for purposes of determining whether he was in
"custody" under section 38.06(a). Before entering the hospital, Harrell was told that he was still
under arrest and in custody, and that if he ran away from the hospital he would be treated as if he
had escaped from jail. Harrell ignored that admonition and drove to Florida with another patient
and a local woman. See Harrell, 743 S.W.2d at 230.
The Court of Criminal Appeals upheld Harrell's conviction for escape. The court
stated: "We now hold that actual, physical 'hands-on' restraint is not a prerequisite to a showing
of custody in the context of the offense of escape. Rather, it is important to look atthe legal status
of the individual at the time of the escape." See id. at 231. Examining Harrell's legal status, the
court held that Harrell remained under arrest while at the hospital. See id. Because Harrell was
still "in custody" regardless of his physical location, it held that the court of appeals had erred in
focusing on the fact that Harrell was not under any kind of physical restraint while at the hospital.
See id.
As the Harrell court recognized, the issue of what constitutes an initial arrest was
not before the court in that case. See Harrell, 743 S.W.2d at 231. However, that is precisely the
issue in the present case: whether a person who has been stopped for questioning and who then

NEW YORK -- While Doc Rivers' demonstrative ejection will draw plenty of attention, DeAndre Jordan believes the Los Angeles Clippers' sudden swoon has more to do with them feeling their early season success a tad too much.
Rivers had to be held back by players and assistant coaches after he was ejected in the first of two overtimes during the team's 127-122 loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday.
With 18.6 seconds left in the first overtime and the Clippers trailing 117-115, Rivers walked past midcourt, almost to the Nets' bench, to argue a foul called by official Lauren Holtkamp.
Rivers was whistled for a technical foul and then handed a second technical and an automatic ejection by lead official Ken Mauer, which set Rivers off.
"I thought it was an awfula tech. That's my thing. That's why I got upset. He didn't even know what we were talking about. It wasn't even an argument. But listen, that had nothing to do with the game, and that's not why we lost the game."
Several members of the Clippers, including DeAndre Jordan, had to restrain coach Doc Rivers, who was ejected in the first overtime of the team's eventual loss. EPA/JUSTIN LANE
Mauer explained to a pool reporter that Rivers earned the first technical foul for "crossing over midcourt. That's automatic." Mauer then said the second technical came because of Rivers' "behavior."
"Do I need to explain it to you?" Mauer said. "Watch the tape. Behavior, language warrants a second technical foul. Warranted an ejection after getting a first technical foul."

"You know, what I'd like to ask the congresswoman from Michigan is ... why does she take the word of a self-confessed perjurer and criminally convicted white man over a black female who's highly educated, worked up through the ranks of the most competitive companies in real estate, spoke before 25 million people at the Republican National Convention, and now works in one of the most historic administrations in history," Patton said.
"So to me, that would be my question," Patton continued. "That's more racist than being put up there as a quote, unquote 'prop.' "
Patton went on to say that her intention at the hearing was not to represent all African-Americans, merely her own experiences working for Trump bothaid MORE (R-N.C.), who invited Patton to Capitol Hill to refute claims of racism lobbed at Trump by Cohen.
Cohen, 52, called Trump a "racist" at Wednesday's hearing and accused the president of a variety of crimes. The president's former lawyer was sentenced to three years in prison last year for charges including lying to Congress, which is a felony. He is scheduled to report to prison next month.
Near the end of Cohen's testimony, Tlaib accused Meadows of committing a "racist act" by using Patton as a "prop" to defend Trump.
"Just because someone has a person of color, a black person working for them does not mean that they aren't racist," Tlaib said at Wednesday's hearing.

it on LSD. I can only wonder about the future bootlegs being sold at comic book conventions, pairing the film up with various Pink Floyd songs that somehow match up with its bonkers imagery. The storyline remains one modestly grounded in simple themes and virtues: of David versus Goliath, of remaining true to oneself, of being there for friends at the end of the day. Performers notwithstanding, you can expect the usual Wachowski-directed performances: overly mannered and deliberate but also awkward, flawed, and revealing (the casting of Keanu Reeves as Neo remains one of the most unlikely and brilliant marriages of talent - or, as some would say, lack thereof - and content, in recent cinema), deliberately shaped to fit within the peg holes carved out amidst thein at the right moment. Christina Ricci, Emile Hirsch, John Goodman and Susan Sarandon all nail this storybook genre, although Paulie Litt is particularly special as Speed Racer's younger brother Spritle, quite possibly the most curmudgeony ten-year-old ever put on a movie screen (in the film's penultimate moment of what-the-fuck, candy-colored bliss, he and his pet chimpanzee Chim Chim race around an upscale car factory, jamming out to Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird"). If the film's style is any limitation in the end, it's a deliberate one, as Speed Racer aspires not to reinvent, but to reinvigorate.

Street clamors for a big merger.
"John Lechleiter is showing intellectual courage by being willing to suck up and take the punch of the approaching earnings decline, while recognizing the long term value of the company will be driven by internal research and development productivity," Roy said.
Like others, he is skeptical of the gains from mega-mergers. "The problem with big mergers is that the R&D guys from Company A are thrown together with those from Company B and the guy with the most pull with senior management keeps his drugs and his guys on board, while the other guy gets let go," he said. "It's not meritocratic; it's political. It's rarely a rational process and there's a five-year period of stagnation because of all the politics in these bigmergers."
By swearing off a major deal, Roy said Lechleiter might be making a personal financial sacrifice as well. CEOs typically win big bonuses, equity options and other incentive pay once such deals start temporarily turbocharging earnings.
An extreme example was former Pfizer CEO Hank McKinnell, who helped spearhead back-to-back mergers with Warner-Lambert and Pharmacia in 2000 and 2003, respectively. Pfizer pushed him out in 2006 after huge cost savings from the mergers finally evaporated and the bloated company languished. Despite his failed tenure, McKinnell walked away with more than $200 million in retirement pay and other compensation.
"When you're willing to say, 'However I'm paid, I'm more interested in the long-term growth of the company than merging with someone else,' that's an approach people should approve," Roy said.
For that reason,

Hence, and so has Lord Bacon told us, all science approaches to its perfection in proportion as it immaterializes objects [cf. Goethe's 'plant'].

I remember one day being at Jive when 'Jesus Walks' was exploding on the radio and he, Chris Lighty, wanted to put 50 Cent on the remix. I remember Chris coming into my office, and we were laughing about 'Jesus Walks.’ He was like, 'I'm putting 50 on this record.' I was excited, because 50 was so big. In New York he was everything."
88-Keys: "For 'Jesus Walks,' I had given him the drum sample for that song. We had a real deep conversation on the drums that he heard on there, that he imagined using, and I told him I had that record [Curtis Mayfield's '(Don't Worry) If There's a Hell Below, We're All Going to Go']. To date, he's the only person who chopped that. Everyone whoI think he kept it in there because it was one of the first records he had and it was sentimental to him. I think the Ludacris factor was the billing factor more than the meat and potatoes of the record itself."
Plain Pat: "'Breathe In, Breathe Out' was one of the big ones back then. It was one of the ones that Lyor [Cohen] really fucked with. Looking back, that's one of the worst on the album. (Laughs) That was the song that got his budget opened from Lyor. There was all this drama between Roc-A-Fella and Def Jam and they had paused all the budgets at Roc-A-Fella, because they were spending all this money. I happened to have 'Ye up at Def Jam. We bumped into Lyor

Was the puppeteer behind the ogre Sweetums
Had a wife and two daughters
Served as a shareholder and board member of The Jim Henson Company
John Paul Henson followed his father, Muppets creator Jim Henson, into puppeteering, and sadly, to an early death.
The younger Henson, 48, fell victim to a sudden heart attack Friday in Saugerties, N.Y.
John was the puppeteer behind the ogre Sweetums.
He leaves behind a wife, Gyongi, and two daughters, Katrina, 15, and Sydney, 10.
The Muppets have been back in the spotlight recently, thanks to their new film, Muppets Most Wanted, opening March 21, and a series of Super Bowl commercials for the Toyota Highlander.
A statement from the Henson Company read, "It is with great sadness that we confirm that John Henson, son of Jim and JaneHenson and brother to Lisa, Cheryl, Brian and Heather, died at age 48 of a sudden massive heart attack on Friday, February 14, while at home with his daughter. John served as a shareholder and board member of The Jim Henson Company. He leaves two daughters, Katrina (15) and Sydney (10) and his wife Gyongyi. A private service is being planned."

Agreement Act, 1922. This supplementary Treaty was executed both by England and by this country, and the title of it under their hand says: "Agreement interpreting and supplementing Article 10 of the Articles of Agreement for a Treaty between Great Britain and Ireland to which the force of law was given by the Irish Free State (Agreement) Act of 1922." If England were taking up the position that that was what gave the force of law to this, it was unnecessary under their own hands to add the following words: "And by the Constitution of the Irish Free State (Saorstát Eireann) Act, 1922."
The very title of that agreement, executed by the representatives of the two countries, to my mind, shows clearly that certain legal advisers of both countriesat that time, and the countries themselves, accepted that the ratification of the Treaty, so far as England was concerned, was effected by the Irish Free State Agreement Act of 1922, and so far as this country was concerned by the Constitution Act of 1922. Such ratification forms the basis of that agreement, and it is recited that Article 10 of the Treaty has the force of law here by virtue of the Constitution Act, 1922. By virtue of that agreement certain statutory provisions were enacted to enable cases under Article 10 to be brought before a special tribunal. But legal sanction for their being brought before any tribunal, or being enforced in any way, comes entirely from Article 10 of the Treaty having the effect of law,

man in his late teens, some fourteen years her junior, with whom she had carried on a similar liaison prior to the divorce. This relationship, she claimed during the original proceedings, had terminated and would not be resumed. Finally, the plaintiff admitted she had smoked marijuana on occasion. However, the evidence is vague at best as to the point in time when she had indulged in this illegal pastime, and she had never done so in the presence of her children.
The findings and conclusions are fully supported by evidence of the defendant's misconduct, his present situation, and the plaintiff's conduct. That being so, and the facts are not seriously disputed by either party, defendant's quarrel, as is so often the case, is not with the facts, but withsunroof, the rear end of the shade provided below the sliding panel is of such an arrangement that during tilt up, the shade is raised with the sliding panel opening so as to open the rear portion of a roof panel.

Ease of looking forward and passenger comfort are spoiled by this directly shining sunlight, reflected light and the like.

and places from his short-term memory to his long-term memory with no problem, even when drugged or under duress.
Anyway. The movie was fun, it was what it was, and it was slightly less insulting than most "rescue the beautiful, helpless woman who didn't know you were a secret agent but will love you anyway despite your lies leading to her being kidnapped and nearly killed" plots. (Sad, how low your standards drop and how little agency the beautiful, helpless woman has to have for you to feel like the movie is better than average.)
I also watched the episode of Friends ("The One Where Monica and Richard Are Just Friends") in which (spoilers!) Joey keeps his favorite book, The Shining, in the freezer, because the book scares him. (Itscares him less if it's trapped in the freezer.) Rachel finds the book in the freezer, which leads to a conversation, and the conversation leads to a deal: Rachel will read The Shining if Joey will read Rachel's favorite book, Little Women. The two spend the episode reading each other's favorite books.
At the end of the episode, Joey comes into Rachel's apartment, nearly in tears, because Beth is sick and not getting better. And so Rachel and Joey put Little Women in the freezer so that Joey will feel less scared.
Joey always was my favorite of the six friends.
And! I watched more Angel Season 5. There's a LOT of good stuff in Season 5. Even some of the things I was meh about in previous seasons improve in

the nutrient surplus, they calculated nutrient budgets, subtracting nutrient outputs from nutrient inputs. The following parameters were included in the calculation \[[@pone.0216053.ref015]\]: organic fertiliser (from livestock) and mineral fertiliser with corresponding losses, compost, biological fixation, atmospheric nitrogen deposition, yield, digestate from biogas plants and sewage sludge. Bicking et al. \[[@pone.0216053.ref015]\] performed the calculation on two different spatial scales. For the whole area of Schleswig-Holstein (regional scale), the ES demand was calculated on the level of municipalities and in the area of the Bornhöved Lakes District (local scale), the ES demand was calculated for the corresponding CORINE LULC polygons.
The ES budget assessment, aiming to provide information on sustainable or unsustainable conditions, was included as a very rough estimation in order to give an idea of areas of nutrient regulationwith regard to the probability distributions of the environmental conditions such as slope and soil texture corresponded to the background information of the study areas. For instance, the area of the Geest was characterized by poor, sandy soils (see study area for more information) which are susceptible to wind erosion and nitrate leaching. These soils have relatively low field capacities and natural nutrient availability rates. These circumstances led to the obtained outcomes.
Considering the nutrient regulation ES budget, the results highlighted this regional issue. The Geest obtained high probabilities for an unsustainable nutrient regulation ES budget, as the area is featured by a low potential ES supply and a relatively high ES demand. The Hügelland obtained highest probabilities for a balanced ES budget as the area is featured by

before the Board of Bar Examiners (Board), ORS
9.536(3) and 9.539, Rules for Admission of Attorneys (RFA)
9.60(5), and Bar Rule of Procedure (BR) 10.6, we conclude that
applicant has not proved that he possesses the requisite good
moral character and fitness to practice law in this state.
Accordingly, we deny applicant admission to the practice of law
in the State of Oregon.
Applicant was admitted to the practice of law in
California in 1984 and practiced in that state until 1994, at
which time he moved to Oregon. In October 1994, applicant
applied for admission to the Oregon State Bar. Applicant took
and passed the February 1995 Oregon State Bar examination.
However, following a character and fitness review proceeding, a
three-member panel of the Board recommended that applicant be
denied admission to the practice of law in In re Jaffee, 319 Or 172, 177, 874 P2d 1299 (1994);
In re Easton, 298 Or 365, 367-68, 692 P2d 592 (1984).
In its recommendation to this court, the Board
identified the following findings of the three-member panel that
the full Board believed demonstrated applicant's lack of good
moral character and fitness to practice law in Oregon:
"(A) He disobeyed a court order to pay child
support.
"(B) He was suspended for over a year in the State
of California for failure to pay child support.
"(C) He failed to inform the Board that he was
suspended from the practice of law in the State of
California and he lied to the Board about his
suspension in California, stating that he was not
suspended when he was in fact suspended.
"(D) He loaned money to a client, Tamara Varner
('Varner'), and collected on the loan

rape by four fellow inmates sometime between January 29 and February 3. He claims that the several attacks were witnessed by two correctional officers who did nothing to prevent or halt them. He further alleges that on February 1, 1976, he requested the Deputy Warden to provide him protection but that the Deputy Warden failed to act upon his request except to return him to the psychiatric cell block.

In addition, Gordon alleged that he was thereafter duped by another inmate, a certain Thomas Massey, into causing his family to send $50.00 to Massey who would prepare a writ that would "guarantee" Gordon's release.

Gordon's pro se complaint was filed against William D. Leeke, a commissioner of the South Carolina Department of Correction, and J. R. Martin, Wardenthereto, and Gordon's verified responses, including an affidavit from another inmate, some of the details of Gordon's alleged cause of action emerged. In another interim ruling, the district court recited (1) that Gordon's statements fixed the date on which the assault on him had occurred as January 29, 1976; (2) that the affidavit of another inmate, Joe Harris, stated that he saw ("(i) n January, 1976, I don't remember the exact date,") four black inmates pull Gordon into a cell and beat him while two black officers stood by and watched without intervening; and (3) that Gordon, whose face was badly beaten, said about an hour later that he had been raped and robbed but made no claim to the prison authorities that he had been assaulted

Expressen criticized it for being unappealing to those uninitiated in vampire films while Göteborgs-Posten believed the supporting characters had lost the emotional depth that made the novel so successful.[49]
Let the Right One In received widespread critical acclaim in the U.S. As of 2014[update] the film has a 98% "Certified fresh" rating at Rotten Tomatoes based on 175 reviews, with an average ratingcalled the film "The best modern vampire movie".[55] One negative review came from Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly, who gave the movie a "C", characterizing it as a "Swedish head-scratcher", with "a few creepy images but very little holding them together".[56]
Bloody Disgusting ranked the film first in their list of the 'Top 20 Horror Films of the Decade', with the article saying "It’s rare enough for a horror film to be good; even rarer are those that function as genuine works of art.

of the emperor Domitian (AD 81–96), and the evidence tends to confirm this.
There were however, two earlier instances of closely related phrases, as rendered in a translation of the Bible from 1851. From Isaiah 12:12:
And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
According to the Wikipedia article on Isaiah,
One widespread view sees parts of the first half of the book (chapters 1–39) as originating with the historical prophet ["between 740 BCE and c. 686 BCE"], interspersed with prose commentaries written in the time of King Josiah a hundred years later; with the remainder of the book dating from immediately before and immediately after the endof the exile in Babylon, almost two centuries after the time of the original prophet.
which would put the writing of Isaiah 12:12 somewhere between 740 BCE and 609 BCE.
From Ezekiel 7:2:
Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.
In its article on Ezekiel, Wikipedia notes that "The last dated words of Ezekiel date to April 570 BCE." Clearly, "the four corners of the land" are not coextensive with "the four corners of the earth," but they echo the image of land and earth as four-cornered, and may (if the translation is accurate) provide an imagistic model of earth and land that John the Revelator invoked seven centuries later.

The Hobbs Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1951(a), makes it a federal crime for anyone to take, or attempt to take,
the property of another by robbery, and in so doing to interfere with commerce or with the movement of
articles or commodities in commerce.
On December 13, 1996, Descally was indicted in federal court, along with eleven co-defendants,
under 18 U.S.C. § 1951(a) ("Hobbs Act") for conspiring to and unlawfully taking United States currency,
travelers' checks, credit cards, passports, and other property in commerce belonging to tourists in Dade
County, Florida beginning in or about September, 1991, through on or about February 27, 1996. On July 27,
1998, he plead guilty toCount 3 of a second superseding indictment, charging him with violation of the
Hobbs Act by conspiring to rob beginning in or about August, 1983, and continuing through the date of the
return of the indictment, December 13, 1996, and robbing United States currency and an airline ticket from
three tourists on or about November 28, 1991, robbing United States currency, travelers' checks, airline
tickets, and Brazilian passports from two tourists on or about December 27, 1991, and robbing United States
currency and a camera from two Venezuelan tourists on December 21, 1992 (of which he was convicted and
sentenced to thirty years incarceration in the State of Florida as earlier stated). The district court considered
the aforementioned acts to which Descally plead guilty as relevant conduct for sentencing purposes, in
addition to an October 23,

that, according to Dorsey and the guideline commentary language ("the court should adjust the
sentence for any period of imprisonment already served as a result of the conduct taken into account in
determining the guideline range for the instant offense"), Application Note 2 is applicable even when the
federal sentence does not exceed that imposed by the state.
Descally was convicted in state court of three of the robberies that formed part of the conspiracy
outlined in the federal plea agreement: (1) convicted and sentenced in state court on July 19, 1994 of the
December 27, 1991 robbery; (2) convicted and sentenced in state court on August 19, 1994 of the November

"Everything's still there," he said. "It's just a little blurry. The details are hard to see."
Doctors and the CNIB recommended that Dalhousie provide basic accommodations to help him keep up in class. These included:
lecture notes from professors before class.
digital copies of textbooks (to increase the font size).
copies of class notes from a fellow student.

The polio silent outbreak in 2013 {#Sec2}
---------------------------------
Israel was declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a polio free country in 2002. During April 2013, a wild poliovirus type 1 was isolated from a routine sewage sample in Rahat and Beer-Sheva, two cities in the Southern district of Israel \[[@CR7]\]. This region is characterized by a high immunization rate (90--95%), combined with a disadvantaged and poor Bedouin population. At the end of May 2013, the national virology laboratory

confirmed the case of a new non-Sabin poliovirus type 1 which was isolated previously in Pakistan and Egypt \[[@CR8]\]. Most of the isolations were from children below 10 years old and were located in Bedouin and mixed (Jewish-Muslim) cities in the Southern district of Israel. Switching the vaccine type from the live attenuated oral polio vaccine (OPV) to inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) in 2004 allowed a silent circulation of the virus, mostly in poor sanitation and overcrowded Bedouin areas. Although the majority of the children in Israel were vaccinated with IPV at the time of the outbreak, the rationale for reintroducing the OPV vaccine (with higher gut immunity) was to eliminate the viral spread, strengthen the herd immunity and protect vulnerable populations. Luckily, not a single case of acutethe Israeli immunization schedule in 2004 without losing the public's trust, a special media response team was formed by the MoH.

Cunnilingus is also sometimes referred to as muff diving, eating out or poon-job, a slang term and a cunnilingus variant of blow job, where poon is short for poontang or punani.
Additionally, in lesbian culture, several common slang terms used are carpet munching, giving lip, lip service or tipping the velvet (a faux-"Victorian" expression invented by novelist Sarah Waters).
Other slang terms for oral sex include going down on (male or female), licking out and muff diving (female), blow job (male), dome (male or female), sucking off (male), playing the skin flute (male recipient), rolling cigars (male recipient), lolly-gagging (gay male-on-male), gaining knowledge (male recipient) and bust down (male).

top man as star performer in between performances by boy-bands and girl-groups?
"Putin is annoyed by the fact that [the strategy] hasn't worked out as he'd been promised," says political analyst Stanislav Belkovsky.
"His decision to head the United Russia list [of parliamentary candidates] did not have the immediate effect of boosting United Russia's support to 70% as they had wanted."
Referendum on Putin
So getting President Putin up on stage in front of a crowd of 5,000 loyal supporters and more importantly in front of the cameras of state-run TV channels was an attempt to boost United Russia's popularity to the point where almost all opposition is eliminated.
Mr Putin wants to boost United Russia support to 70%
And that is crucial for President Putin himself.
Because as the United Russia party itself keepssaying, the parliamentary election on 2 December is primarily a referendum on Mr Putin and his policies after his eight years in power.
An overwhelming majority for United Russia along with a high voter turnout would, the argument goes, help the president remain in power after his second term in office comes to an end early next year.
Under the current constitution he cannot stand for a third term.
So a new leadership concept is now being put forward by his supporters.
"We want the continuation of the same foreign and domestic policies, we want him to stay in politics, we want him as our national leader," said Olga, a member of United Russia, as she sat surrounded by flags at Wednesday's rally.

In the conditions of middle stream of Vychegda River, the species diversity of parasite community associated with Gymnocephalus cernuus was found to be maximal in March and minimal in September. It is shown, that during a year the parasite community passes through the phases of development in December-March, completion in May-June, and destruction in July-September, which form the annual cycle of the community.The series is a moody crime drama that explores Los Angeles's seedy lawless side, and it's being hyped as the latest project by director Nicolas Winding Refn, who won best director at Cannes in 2011 for Drive. Refn is also behind the thriller Only God Forgives and The Neon Demon, both of which previously ran at the festival. That's perhaps a testament that a big name is one way to rise above the streaming versus cinema battle -- though the series still won't be eligible for any awards.
Most of us will have to wait until June 14 to catch Too Old to Die Young when it debuts on Amazon Prime. Rumor has it each episode will be about 90 minutes, and as the trailer shows, it'll explore everything

York Harbor in 1975 when Bob Dylan was on the scene. Dylan was there with his then-wife Sara, plus Joan Baez and Sam Sheppard. This was prior to Dylan's "Rolling Thunder Revue" tour6 ... a time in which scenes for "Renaldo and Clara" were being shot.
Our long-term former general manager, Phoebe Apgar-Pressey, was a waitress at the Inn during Dylan's visit. She recalls delivering champagne to the Dylan's guest room. Before the entourage left the Inn, many staff were given tickets to the "Rolling Thunder Revue" a the "Portland Civic Center". "I was a fan of Joan Baez and was so excited. I remember the show being fabulous. It was wild!"
Mark Foster, the current owner of Stage Neck Inn remembers when Bob Dylan and Joan Baez were intown. "My folks owned Foster's Downeast Clambake here in York Harbor. They prepared a clambake for Bob Dylan ("Renaldo") and his first wife, Sara ("Clara") on Harbor Beach, adjacent to Stage Neck Inn." This film never had any notable exposure to the public, perhaps because it had a running time of over 4 hours. The script was written by Bob Dylan and Sam Sheppard and directed by Dylan. Information contained in Sheppard's chronicles of the trip, "The Rolling Thunder Logbook" also notes that Baez and Dylan enjoyed going out on a lobstering vessel in York Harbor.
We'd love to hear what you might know about special happenings and celebrated visits to York Harbor. Please share your stories with us on Facebook.com!

It now seems that the GOP establishment has lost touch with its mainstream voters almost completely. There can be no worse indictment of a political party in a democracy.
If good sense prevails, in the European view, among American voters and Trump loses, sharp damage will still have been wrought on the way US democracy and politics operates in future elections. “Trumpism” will not die with Trump’s defeat in November or at the Republican convention.

US Election: Asian newspapers slam Bush, with some exceptions
AFP , HONG KONG
US President George W. Bush was the target yesterday of scathing criticism from Asian newspapers, which accused him of pursuing a reckless and divisive foreign policy but doubted much would change even if John Kerry ousted him in the presidential election.
In Thailand the respected business daily Krungthep Thurakit warned of dire consequences for the world if Bush was re-elected, saying "international politics will be in more turmoil than [during] his first term as it means Americans agree with his foreign policy."
The Thai-language newspaper forecast Bush might next invade North Korea or Iran. "In this presidential election most of the world's population votes for Kerry due to his promise for a softer approach on international politics," it said.

As a child, she was called Mnesarete (Greek for "virtue"), but because she was born with sallow skin, she was called Phryne (Greek for "toad"). Still, Phryne became the most successful and sought-after courtesan in ancient Greece, commanding 100 times the going rate. Supposedly, she was even the model for the sculpture called Aphrodite of Cnidus, one of the most famous works of Greek art.

But Blaylock was addicted to laudanum -an opiate used to treat headaches- and Shady Sadie won Earp’s heart.

The commandant of the camp, Aleksey Milchakov, has confirmed to RFE/RL’s Belarusian Service that young Belarusians are there now. And as Kseniya Kirillova, a US-based Russian journalist points out, Milchakov has never concealed his neo-Nazi sympathies.

The amino acid histidine, on the basis of a number of short term studies, is considered to be dispensable for adult man, the adult male chicken and, under certain conditions, the adult rat. Histidine is a precursor of the two dipeptides, anserine and carnosine which are found in considerable quantity in muscle tissue, while carnosine has recently been reported to occur also in the brain, where it may serve as a possible neurotransmitter for olfactory sensations. The purpose of the study herein proposed is to evaluate the need for a dietary source of histidine by the adult chicken and rat in relation to the distribution of anserine and carnosine in muscle and brain tissue as a function of age and of the histidine concentration in the diet.

close ties to Beijing and Pyongyang, revealed.
"There was no bear hug between Wang Jiarui and Choe when they met," the source noted, referring to the Chinese Communist Party's International Department minister.
Such greetings have been a tradition between North Korean and Chinese leaders, who once saw their relationship as "close as lips and teeth".
Experts said Choe's three-day visit was a desperate attempt by North Korea to mend fences with its only major diplomatic ally.
North Korea's increased hostility in April and May drew international condemnation and put Beijing under pressure, especially from Washington, to rein in Pyongyang.
But after Beijing tried to convince Pyongyang to stop its nuclear and missile tests during the talks, tensions do not appear to have lessened, said the source.
"(North) Korea has not mellowed," said the source,who did not attend the meetings but has since spoken to both sides to which he has regular access.
After the meetings, in which Choe eventually held talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping, North Korea promised to take "positive steps for peace" while China repeated its mantra of wanting "calm and restraint" on the Korean peninsula.
However, North Korea has repeatedly said it will never abandon its nuclear weapons, calling them its "treasured sword".
The source did not say if Beijing spelt out any consequences should the North conduct further tests.

A Marine veteran who served in Iraq and is running for Congress in California called out Colin Kaepernick on Monday for “pulling the racism and victim card.”
Jeremy Staat, who also played in 31 NFL games across four seasons, wrote to supporters in a recent fundraising email that Kaepernick is a "national disgrace and I'm tired of seeing him celebrated like he's a hero."
On Monday, Staat told “Fox & Friends that “[Kaepernick] knew what he was getting into when he decided to kneel and now he’s going to go ahead and capitalize" on his decision. He accused the former NFL quarterback of "essentially extorting the black community and using Nike as his little shiny horse, if you will, to ride in on."
COLIN KAEPERNICK SPEAKS AT 'UNTHANKSGIVING' CELEBRATION, CRITICIZES US
Staat’scomments came after Kaepernick spoke at the "Indigenous People's Sunrise Ceremony” also known as "Unthanksgiving," on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco. The event is intended to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Native Americans occupying the famous island, which previously served as the site of a federal prison. The protest, which began on November 20, 1969, lasted 19 months.
"Spent the morning at the Indigenous People’s Sunrise Ceremony on the 50 year anniversary of the Occupation of Alcatraz," Kaepernick tweeted on Thanksgiving day.
"The US government has stolen over 1.5 billion acres of land from Indigenous people. Thank you to my Indigenous family, I’m with you today and always."
Kaepernick is no stranger to controversy and has been out of the NFL since the 2016 season. He started a national firestorm when

with enormous eyes. But a colleague named Alan Walker took a look and thought otherwise, eventually convincing Simpson that the bones belonged to a bat.
For nearly half a century the creature's identity appeared to have been settled, until 2016, when another paleontologist, the late Gregg Gunnell of Duke University, began taking a fresh look at the fossil. To Gunnell's eye, the creature's hind teeth were more reminiscent of a primate than a bat. He also noted the stump of a broken front tooth, just visible in cross section, which would have jutted out from its mouth like a dagger—a trait only known in aye-ayes, the only living primates with rodent-like teeth.
"Gregg wrote to us and said, 'Tell me I'm crazy,'" Seiffert said.
To verify Propotto's place in the primatefamily tree, Seiffert and Steven Heritage of Duke's Division of Fossil Primates analyzed more than 395 anatomical features and 79 genes for 125 mammal species, living and extinct.
With help from Doug Boyer, associate professor of evolutionary anthropology at Duke, the team also compiled microCT scans of the lower molars of 42 living and extinct mammal groups, including bats, treeshrews and primates. They then used a computer program to compare the bumps, pits and ridges on the scans of Propotto's teeth to those of other animals.
The researchers found that Propotto shared a number of features with a similarly buck-toothed primate that lived 34 million years ago in Egypt called Plesiopithecus, and that both were ancient relatives of the aye-aye.
In the new study, Seiffert, Gunnell and colleagues propose that the

manufacturing company in western New York in order to become President of the Macintosh-Hemphill division of Gulf & Western Manufacturing Company ("Mac-Hemp"). Plaintiff became the division's president and invested personal funds in Mac-Hemp, forming a corporation to do so. That corporation is now in bankruptcy, due mainly to liabilities which, plaintiff contends, the defendants knew or should have known of but failed to reveal to him. Plaintiff argues that defendants did not inform him of certain unfunded pension liabilities and vested retiree medical insurance benefits at the time he was hired as division president in 1982 and when he purchased Mac-Hemp. This, according to plaintiff, constituted a fraudulent or negligent misrepresentation of the state of the business. Plaintiff specifically alleges that defendants should be liable to him forHSBC deliberately deceived the Treasury Select Committee and was in contempt of Parliament by claiming their “fake” solicitors were regulated, whistleblower and financial activist Nicholas Wilson said Friday.
The British-born investigator, who is currently preparing a private prosecution against HSBC for its alleged role in widespread fraud, says the bank purposely misled parliament by falsely stating to Conservative MP Andrew Tyrie that their in-house legal division was regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA).
Wilson uncovered concrete evidence the SRA did not regulate this legal entity in 2011. As part of ongoing investigative research he is conducting into what he stresses is large-scale HSBC fraud amounting to £1 billion, the whistleblower discovered what he alleges was HSBC's deliberate deceit of Parliament.

out of the total of more than 7,000 in TDOC custody.[5]
Two other divisions that are potentially relevant here are the Division of Organization Development and the Division of Administration, both headed by assistant commissioners. The former division has directors in charge of the following areas: Planning and research; internal audit; management information systems; volunteer services; and staff development and training. The Division of Administration has directors in the area of fiscal services, personnel and engineering. The remaining division is Youth Services and is not relevant to the present case.
There are approximately 7,000 adult inmates in those TDOC institutions currently under this court's review. The largest single facility is the Tennessee State Penitentiary (TSP or "main prison"), a maximum security facility located in Nashville which currently houses approximately 1,930inmates, in addition to over 300 others administratively assigned there but not physically present. The Nashville Community Service Center (NCSC) which prior to July 1, 1981, was administratively part of TSP, houses approximately 350 minimum security and work release inmates. The Fort Pillow State Farm (FP), located in Lauderdale County, houses over 700 inmates and is a close security prison. The Tennessee Prison for Women (TPW) is the primary institution for housing the State's female inmates and is also designated close security. Located in Nashville, TPW houses approximately *1059 300 women. Brushy Mountain Prison (BM), located in Morgan County, is a maximum security prison with a population of about 450.

early as 1937, a Citizens' Committee established by the Commissioner of Institutions found that the state's prisons were "giving a post graduate course in crime ... that ... will continue as long as boys of tender age are mixed with sex perverts, the venereal diseased and prisoners serving terms for three or four felonies." Report, "Prisons, Reformatories and Penal Institutions in Tennessee," (1937), Ex. No. 8914, at 53.
Yet, as the defendants' classification expert, Mr. Reimer, made clear in his deposition, the adverse impact resulting from overclassification is not restricted either by age or the nature of the offense for which the inmate is incarcerated.

The TDOC health care system is under the supervision of the Director of Health Services, Jamie S. Brodie, a registered nurse who has served in his present capacity since February 1981. Although Mr. Brodie's title is "Director," he actually has no direct authority to control the provision of health services. Rather, his role is merely advisory.

center for most new male TDOC inmates, is actually two facilities: NRCF proper, sometimes known as Cockrill Bend ("CB" will be used herein in order to keep the discussion of the facility clear and to distinguish throughout between that newer facility and the older Guild 17), and the building which formerly contained the Nashville Community Service Center, now known as "Guild 17."
The CB facility, which opened in 1979, is the prototype for the regional prisons in Morgan, Bledsoe and Lake Counties. See infra. CB consists of 16 separate housing units (guilds) containing 25 single occupancy cells (actually rooms with solid doors with windows for observation) of 77 square feet. Each guild apparently also has an additional room of 104 square feet that has been renovated to house twoinmates. The CB rooms are air-conditioned and contain a sink and toilet as well as a bed and space for storage of personal items. Each room also has a window, allowing for some natural light during the daytime hours. Showers are located near the center of each guild, on either side of a glassed-in guard station. Open areas adjacent to the guard station are used for eating, visiting and recreational purposes. Shortly before the trial in this case, the 16 guilds at CB housed a total of 419 inmates.
The plaintiffs have complained about TDOC's plans to double cell some inmates at CB in the future (as well as the occasional double celling that has occurred in the past on a temporary basis), but have not raised any substantial

Could blood plasma from young people have the same benefits? To find out, Minami and her colleagues took blood samples from 18-year-olds, and injected them into 12-month-old mice. At this age, the equivalent of around age 50 for people, the mice start to show signs of ageing – they move more slowly, and perform badly on memory tests.
The mice were given twice-weekly injections of the human plasma. After three weeks of injections, they were submitted to a range of tests. The treated mice’s performance was compared to young, 3-month-old mice, as well as old mice who had not received injections.

"It was a special moment where, walking, we were able to support her and cross the threshold into a new house and into a new life," Reiter said.
Kerstin and two of her brothers, ages 18 and 5, had spent their entire lives trapped in the cellar with their mother, never seeing daylight. A television was their only contact with the outside world.
The other three children Josef Fritzl fathered with Elisabeth were taken as infants to live above ground with Fritzl and his wife, who says she had no idea her daughter was being held captive.
In recentweeks, the wife and the three children have had several meetings with Kerstin and the others formerly held in the basement. The doctors said that all are receiving therapy and are getting to know each other.
"It is clear that [the two sides] have a different temper of life," Kepplinger said. "These different ways of living, the two parts of the family, still have to come to some agreement."
Still, the entire family is "very happy" to be reunited, Herbst said.
"This is an incredible drawing-near to each other. There is incredible joy among them," he said. "It is wonderful to see the way they are living together."

who signed the amendment.
The LLC agreement would be a possible source of an address for Wolf Creek. It
states that "[t]he address of the principal place of business of the Company is 4600 South
Regal Street, Spokane, Washington 99223." CP at 16. But at the time Mr. Rand's
September 2012 notice of nonrenewal was sent, Wolf Creek had no presence at that
location; the South Regal address was for the television studio property Wolf Creek was
leasing to Mountain. If Mr. Rand's letter had been sent to Wolf Creek's principal place
of business as set forth in the LLC agreement, then Mountain would have been sending
the notice of nonrenewal to itself.
Because Wolf Creek was a single-asset LLC, leasing its only property under a
long-term lease, it had no place of business as of September 2013. The lease is silent as
to where notice "to the Landlord" should be directed.
Mr. Holman argues that Mountain had "consistently" sent correspondence and
necessary business information to not only Brady, but also Holman, so its previous
performance is relevant in construing the requirement to provide notice of nonrenewal to
the Landlord. Br. of Resp't at 30. But of the 10 exhibits in the record that Mr. Holman
cites for that proposition, only two-Mr. Rand's 2005 and 2009 letters complaining about
the rent-were directed by Mountain to both Mr. Brady and Mr. Holman. 12 And neither

Russette had an outstanding warrant for a misdemeanor contempt of court out of the Hill County Justice Court.
¶ 7 Agent Federspiel and three other agents attempted to find Russette. The agents rode in a single vehicle and drove near the towns of Box Elder and Big Sandy looking for Russette. The agents had turned around in the parking lot of the D & L Bar just outside of Box Elder when they saw Russette pulling into the parking lot in a black pickup. The agents pulled in behind Russette. Russette had gotten out of his truck and had started walking to the bar by the time the agents had parked their vehicle. Russette quickened his pace when he saw the agents pull in behind his truck. Russette lookedover his shoulder repeatedly and hurried into the bar.
¶ 8 Agent Federspiel and Agent Dean Wilkinson followed Russette into the bar. Agent Federspiel entered the bar first and saw Russette standing behind a row of gambling machines. Agent Federspiel could not see Russette's hands, but he could see Russette's shoulders and his arms from the elbow up. Agent Federspiel saw Russette's arm moving "as though he was removing something from his [pants] pocket." Agent Federspiel came around the machines. Agent Federspiel identified himself and informed Russette that he had an outstanding warrant for his arrest. Agent Federspiel arrested Russette and placed him in handcuffs.

This was not the Cat Power we saw on Monday. Sure, she is an eclectic presence - despite rumors of newfound sobriety, she looked to be at least partly drunk (to guess from the fact that stagehands refilled her glass at least twice during the show), and she moved like someone with at least a partial buzz on. Very catlike, as a matter of fact. But she was nevertheless a confident and commanding presence throughout the show. She only managed to forget the lyrics once during the set (she did have a music stand with lyrics that she referenced occasionally), but seemed unconcerned with her flub: no lying in a heap on the middle of the stage and weeping uncontrollably.
I must admit that Iwasn't quite as enchanted with her newer material as I wanted to be. I thought The Greatest was a decent album, but nowhere near as good as many other critics maintained - for all the songwriting acumen and musical skill on display (both from Marshall and her crack team of Memphis all-stars), the whole thing seemed a bit too sleepy. There's an intensity in Cat Power's best records that was lacking on much of The Greatest (and they neglected to play my favorite song off that record, the rather more intense "Love and Communication"). The first handful of songs were taken from that record, and as a consequencethe show took a while to warm up.
She didn't play "Living Proof" either, but this video always cracks me up.

The cat got to live in my ex's basement for a week, much to the dismay of the three dogs upstairs. Somehow she didn't hate me after all was said and done, although she was filthy after five days of rolling around on a bare concrete floor.
And then finally I moved in, on Monday the 2nd . . . and waited until Friday the 6th to get my cable, internet and phone running.

least some English-speaking abilities. By contrast, the majority of growth among the U.S. Asian population is due to immigration, so children from the East arrive in U.S. public schools with little or no English language skills. Some school districts, particularly those in rural areas, have encountered difficulty finding qualified personnel who speak Asian languages.
Factors Negatively Impacting Minority Student Achievement
According to a report by The Atlantic, public schools will see 33 percent more Hispanic students, 44 percent more multi-racial students, and 2 percent more African-American students by the 2022-2023 school year. While this increased diversity presents many opportunities for positive growth, including increased social awareness and cultural understanding, it also presents some problems for public schools and children of color.

President is vested with the power to speak and listen as the representative of this nation. He is also vested with power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States. U. S. Constitution Article II, Section 2, Clause 1.
Mr. Justice Holmes in Biddle v. Perovich, 1926, 274 U.S. 480, 47 S.Ct. 664, 71 L.Ed. 1161, pointed out that executive clemency was not a private act of Congress; it was a part of the Constitutional scheme, and when it was granted, it was the determination of the ultimate authority that the public welfare (and this included international as well as national situations) will be better served by inflicting less than the judgment fixed.
So, we observe, that it is over one year and nine months since thisprison contraband in the first degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, he pleaded guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree in satisfaction of the indictment. At the plea allocution, defendant agreed to be sentenced as a second felony offender. When the People failed to submit a predicate felony statement (see CPL 400.21 [2]) to the same judge at sentencing, defendant waived receipt of the statement and, upon questioning by the judge, declined to contest his predicate felonies. The judge proceeded to sentence him, as a second felony offender, to a term of 1½ to 3 years.
Defendant now maintains that his sentence was illegally imposed. In order to be lawfully sentenced as a second felony offender, a defendant must

she said.
When that failed to dissuade the Democrats seeking an infrastructure deal, Pelosi said the president leaned on comments she'd made shortly before a scuttled meeting at the White House on Wednesday – when she accused him of a "cover-up" – to blow up the infrastructure talks.
"He's a master of distraction. ... That's something he does well; to distract from problems that he has he tries to change the subject," she said. "And while he tried to say it's because I said 'cover-up' — we've been saying 'cover-up' for a while."
Pelosi said Trump has also been frustrated with a series of recent court cases that have come down in favor of the Democrats seeking information from the administration to guide their investigations.
"I think what really got to himwas ... these court cases and the fact that the House Democratic Caucus is not on a path to impeachment, and that's where he wants us to be," she said. "And when he saw that that was not happening, that — again, with the cover-up, which he understands is true — just struck a chord."
Trump walked out of the meeting on Wednesday and blasted Pelosi for her comments alleging a "cover-up." The president told reporters in the White House Rose Garden that "I don't do cover-ups." He later took to Twitter to accuse Pelosi of lying when she said he had a "temper tantrum."
The meeting had been planned three weeks ago following a decidedly more cordial sit-down between Trump, Pelosi and Schumer, during which the three powerbrokers agreed

A wild urban rainbow lorikeet (*Trichoglossus haematodus*) pair nesting in a suburban garden in Sydney, Australia, initially produced nestlings in 2008 that failed to fully develop feathers. BFDV was identified from one such deceased nestling in 2009 ([@B9]). In late 2012, the adults fledged three nestlings lacking tail feathers. This was first observed in early November 2012, and these birds still lacked tails by late November. The birds had dark beaks, confirming that they were juveniles, while the parents had red beaks, a full complement of tail feathers, and no apparent disease. Flight for the juvenile birds was difficult and uncontrolled, and they preferred to climb shrubs and trees with their claws and beaks. Feathers were collected from the remains of two birds that succumbed to domesticchemistry.
"All of these patients had either well-defined mild cognitive impairment (MCI), subjective cognitive impairment (SCI) or had been diagnosed with AD before beginning the program," said author Dale Bredesen, MD, a professor at the Buck Institute and professor at the Easton Laboratories for Neurodegenerative Disease Research at UCLA, who noted that patients who had had to discontinue work were able to return to work and those struggling at their jobs were able to improve their performance. "Follow up testing showed some of the patients going from abnormal to normal."
One of the more striking cases involved a 66-year old professional man whose neuropsychological testing was compatible with a diagnoses of MCI and whose PET scan showed reduced glucose utilization indicative of AD. An MRI showed hippocampal volume at only

I fuckin' adore XenoBlade Chronicles. This is a clear merger of Japanese and western RPG traditions, with great characters, story, and action-packed combat. By far the most beautiful game on the Wii, in both audio and visuals. I haven't finished XenoBlade yet (taking a break from playing it right now, actually), but I want to try and beat it in the next few days. I'm about to fight Egil.

An Irish American pastor in Boulder, Colorado has defended his decision not to allow a child of a lesbian couple to continue to attend Catholic school in his parish. The child is currently in pre-school there.
The Rev. Bill Breslin, pastor of Sacred Heart of Jesus Church in Boulder, posted his sermon to parishioners.
"The issue is not about our not accepting 'sinners,'" he said. "It is not about punishing the child for the sins of his or her parents. It is simply that the lesbian couple is saying that their relationship is a good one that should be accepted by everyone; and the Church cannot agree to that."
Gay and lesbian groups are attacking the decision
"The Archdiocese of Denver has acted very unjustly in singling out this child for exclusion,"in school conflicts with what they experience in the home.”
Gay groups plan to protest
"These actions by the Denver Archdiocese harm the student by taking the child away from friends, teachers and community," said Jarrett Barrios, president of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. "It's deeply troubling to see any school remove a child from their educational program simply as the means of rejecting that child's parents."
But the archdiocese defended its decision.
About 30 opponents of the move protested Sunday outside the church during Mass.
"I was disappointed, but it was pretty much what I was expecting to hear," said Dave Ensign, board president of Boulder Pride, a Gay organization.
"When people hear about this, they speak up, and I think that says a lot about our community."

Bertrand has missed a total of three days of work in meeting with his attorneys and attending this trial, losing an average of $50 in earnings per day. Belise missed a day of work in attending trial, for which he would have earned $5.34 per hour for at least eight hours of work. In addition, Bertrand and Belise have been advanced travel and lodging expenses by the Legal Aid Bureau, Inc., which they will be required to repay from any awardmade by the Court in this case.

should consider to be one's target. It is against this machine that Grau's argument about knowledge and Wartenberg's argument about agency should be addressed. Unlike the ideal memory machine, the actual, flawed memory machine can resist these arguments. In order to make this point, let us focus on the pursuit of happiness in the remarriage genre. According to Cavell, the pursuit of happiness that occurs in the comedies of remarriage requires that the man and the woman leave an original condition in which they are just like Adam and Eve after the creation. In this sense, the story told by the comedy of remarriage can be seen as a "trouble in paradise" tale,23 that is, as "some comic version of the story of the expulsion from the Gardenof Eden".24 In order to move from the condition of marriage to that of remarriage, the man and the woman should undergo the temptation and eat the apple that will lead them to be chased from the Garden of Eden. As Cavell puts it, "the woman has probably started the [process] with something called an apple, anyway by presenting a temptation".25 In Eternal Sunshine, the apple, the temptation originally presented by the woman, is precisely the memory machine. Only eating the apple can enable the hero and the heroine to achieve the changing they need. As Cavell puts it, "...this changing is the forgoing or forgetting of the past state and its impasse of vengefulness".26 Cavell traces the changes that characters undergo in the remarriage comedy back to

the changing that occurs in the Shakespearean romance, which "deals in marvelous events and solves its problems through metamorphoses and recognition scenes – through, in other words, transformations of perception" (p. 48).27 In the tradition of romance, as well as in the remarriage comedy, such metamorphoses and transformations require "the action's moving from a starting place of impasse to a place Frye calls 'the green world,' a place in which perspective and renewal are to be achieved" (p. 48).28 In Eternal Sunshine the role of the "green world" is played by the inner world that the memory machine makes accessible to Joel (and arguably also to Clementine, though the film does not directly show that). Day emphasizes this correspondence when he writes: "In classical Hollywood remarriage comedies featuringcouples of sufficient wealth and Manhattan addresses, the green world is given the name ‛Connecticut.' In Eternal Sunshine, this mythical locale gets renamed ‛Joel's head'" (pp. 140-141).29 In particular, Day focuses on the green world as a suitable space for "the uniquely human and uniquely philosophical form of intercourse we call conversation" (p. 134),30 noting that in the case of Joel and Clem, "their conversation of desire is nowhere if not in the kaleidoscopic center of the film, in the scenes that take place in Joel's head" (p. 135).31 However, such a conversation also has a darker side. As Cavell points out, in the green world "the mind or plot will not only be cleared and restored, it will be darkened and frozen" (p. 49).32 This situation, indeed,

Dong, a citizen of China, entered the United States without admission or parole at an unknown port of entry on the Mexican border on March 10, 2004. Several months later, on December 10, 2004, Dong filed an application for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the United Nations Convention Against Torture. The Department of Homeland Security commenced removal proceedings on February 3, 2005. On May 3, 2005, an immigration judge ("IJ") found Dong removable as an alien present in the United

States without admission or parole, a status he conceded. See 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(6)(A)(i). A hearing on the merits of Dong's asylum application then occurred before the same IJ on July 7, 2005.
According to petitioner's testimony, as well as other evidence before the IJ, Dong was born in 1963 in Fuzhou, the capital city of China's Fujian Province. Dong was raised in Fuzhou and eventually took a job in a local paper factory. On November 28, 1990, Dong married Kangzhen Jiang in a traditional ceremony. The marriage was registered with authorities on June 17, 1991, and, on August 1, 1991, Kangzhen gave birth to their first child, a girl. Two months after the birth, Chinese family-planning authorities required Kangzhen to submit to the insertion of an intrauterine device("IUD"). Dong was not present when this occurred. Afterwards, Kangzhen was required to regularly report to a local hospital for gynecological exams to ensure that the IUD remained in place.
*10 During one such examination on May 10, 1993, nurses discovered that Kangzhen had become pregnant again, despite the IUD. According to Dong, who was not present at the exam, Kangzhen pleaded with family-planning authorities at the hospital to allow her to continue the pregnancy, but they forced her to abort it. Nurses physically restrained Kangzhen by pinning her down, and the abortion procedure, which lasted about an hour, was painful. Dong described her as "mentally unnormal" after her return home.
After the abortion, authorities fitted Kangzhen with a new IUD and again required her to submit to gynecological exams
