BRIDE** William Goldman A/YA/Y USA 1973
They made a great film out of this, but the book is even better. A rollicking tale of romance (eeeew!) and adventure, with lots of hilarious tangents.
#### **THE THIRD POLICEMAN** Flann O'Brien A/YA IRELAND 1967
Absurdist, philosophical weirdness involving bicycles.
#### **LAKE WOBEGON DAYS (AND SEQUELS)** Garrison Keillor A/YA USA 1985
Keillor is a wonderful rambling storyteller, with a warm and gentle sense of humour that I've always loved.
#### **THE GREATEST OF MARLYS** Lynda Barry A/YA/Y USA 2002
Lynda Barry's comics capture the horror of teenagerdom brilliantly and hilariously.
#### **SCHOOL IS HELL** Matt Groening A/YA USA 1987
When Matt Groening isn't inventing _The Simpsons_ he does cartoons like these. Angry, cute, subversive, funny.
#### **DEEP THOUGHTS** Jack Handey A/YA/Y 1992 USA
Word for word this little book has made meJudean Banker was kept busy with the start of her new job as head of Willoughby Parks and Recreation Department.
First came the task of searching for a person to fill her old job of recreation program coordinator and then came having to deal with cleanup after Hurricane Sandy tore through the area.
"I knew what (former park director) Brian (Katz) did, but I didn't realize the extent of what he did," said Banker, who served as the recreation program coordinator since 1992. "Our new program coordinator just started a week and a half ago. I was doing both jobs, my old job and my new job. Now I think I'll be able to get a better handle on stuff."

required he paint a self-portrait; Le depicted himself as G.I. Joe, one of his favorite childhood characters.
Victoria says she and her brother were very close, despite the gap in age. "He loved to make others smile," she says. "I'm more go-go-go, while he could just sit back and enjoy life. His motto was 'Shut up and live.'"
On April 1, Joe and one of his best friends, Brian Tran, planned to hike the east fork of the San Gabriel Mountains to Azusa's Bridge to Nowhere, a popular 9-mile river-chasing trip along an abandoned, flooded-out roadway. The wet winter caused the streams of water to swell to chest-deep levels, making the hike especially treacherous in the early spring. At around noon, Joe and Tran came to a rope strung acrosstold her that Joe was missing. She went numb, and then became furious.
"I said, 'What do you mean he's missing?'" she recalls. "They told me he fell into the river. I said, 'He's not missing, then. He's in that river!'"
Victoria, who works as a forensic investigator with the Westminster Police Department, was appalled that she and her family weren't notified sooner. "I would assume that'd be the first thing they'd do," she says. "I asked, 'What have you been doing this whole time?'"
She went to her computer and posted on Facebook: "I NEED YOUR HELP TO LOCATE JOE!" Victoria announced that she would be at the river at 5 the next morning. At 4 a.m., a group of strangers in hiking gear showed up at her house to

join her.
The news of Joe's disappearance had exploded on the Internet during the night, with the Union of Vietnamese Student Associations (UVSA)—a national college organization with chapters at UC Irvine, Cal State Fullerton and Cal State Long Beach—sending out Victoria's plea and people hosting virtual prayer events for those who couldn't make it out to the river. "It shows there are still people out there who are compassionate," Victoria says.
At the site, a group of 33 combed through 7 miles of steep, rocky terrain, flipping over rocks, looking under logs and branches, and eventually venturing into the river. Some were avid hikers, but few, if any, had rescue training. During the search, they noticed a helicopter hovering overhead and some authorities standing on cliffs and looking down atformer Eagle Scout with training in first aid, 24-year-old Tim Nguyen of Huntington Beach (no relation to Minh or Kelly) wanted to help as soon as he saw the posting on Facebook. "I felt this is my calling," he says. "Authorities wanted to just wait for a body to wash up while the family was wondering, 'Is he alive?' If someone wants to help, why deny them?"
The sun went down, and the search continued the next day with even more vigor. That Sunday, 120 supporters showed up to help look for a man whom most had never met. In the afternoon, someone spotted Joe's olive-colored backpack. Hours later, while tied to a tree and poking around in the rushing currents, a volunteer named Santos Avila Navarrete discovered Joe's

body, pinned against a submerged tree stump and covered with branches and debris.
Santos, along with his wife, Leticia Trujillo, and other volunteers helped to pull the body ashore. Trujillo told the Weekly in April that though they were glad to help the family, they were not psychologically ready for the experience and had trouble sleeping in the days that followed. "Who's prepared to pull a dead person from a river and hold them in their arms?" she asked. "Our feelings have nothing to do with Joe or fear of the dead, but with having your own mortality stare you straight in the face."
"I don't think anyone was prepared for it," Tim adds. "I don't think it set in that we were looking for a body . . .maybe some pieces of clothing or clues." But for him, the recovery wasn't as much traumatic as it was inspiring. "Mentally, it makes you stronger. I was just thinking, 'I gotta man up and do what I gotta do for the family.'"
Santos, a 39-year-old artist in Los Angeles, says humbly, "I just did what I did."
When her brother's body surfaced, Victoria broke down. Though, this time, there was comfort in her sadness, she says. "He's found. He's not stuck in the river in the cold. We're gonna get him a good funeral and put him to rest," she recalls thinking. In honor of Joe, Victoria felt it appropriate, even necessary to help other families receive the same sense of peace and closure she was able to get. Instead

Team members began the search near Mountain 99, the Point Last Seen (PLS) of Minh and Scott. At about 10:30 a.m. on June 25, they saw a CHP helicopter hovering over the river. Authorities were searching for a 53-year-old man from Palmdale who had been reported missing the day before. They found his body in the water, caught on a tree. A swiftwater rescue team pulled him to shore.
Then, about 20 yards away from the recovery, authorities spotted another body caught on a tree in the river. It was Minh.

London: British Prime Minister Theresa May's Conservatives signed a deal Monday with Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party that will allow them to govern after losing their majority in a general election in June.
"An agreement has been signed," May's spokesman told AFP without revealing the details.
Northern Irish DUP leader Arlene Foster said she was "delighted" that a deal had been struck, while May said the Conservatives and the DUP "share many values" and Monday's agreement was "a very good one".
The agreement was signed by senior Conservative official Gavin Williamson and senior DUP member Jeffrey Donaldson, as May and Foster looked on.
The Conservatives have 317 seats in the 650-seat parliament after the 8 June election

The project's developer is Crescent Resources LLC of Charlotte.
"The fact that Crystal City didn't get the EPA deal was tough and disappointing for them because they lost a 400,000-square-foot tenant," said broker Spencer R. Stouffer of Trammell Crow Co. "Now, Crystal City has to compete with the Potomac Yard project right nearby."
Creedon's pitch is that Crystal City is lively and its location convenient. His 20-minute PowerPoint presentation on a large, flat-screen TV in his Crystal City office shows photos and pictures of Metro riders getting off at Crystal City next to shots of cars on nearby highways. There are photos of buildings bearing the names of such major contractors as Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), Boeing Co. and Lockheed Martin Corp., and of passersby eating at Morton's anddrinking Starbucks coffee.
"We've got transportation with Metro, a VRE [Virginia Railway Express] station, access to highways, we're close to Reagan National Airport," Creedon said. "There's apartments and condos all around and hotels, shops. And we're putting in [1,300] free parking spaces, and we've got some of the best restaurants around."
Creedon said he hoped Crystal City's commercial rental rates, which he said were about $10 to $30 per square foot lower than for similar spaces in the District, will make tenants want to relocate.
Crystal City, about a five-minute car ride from the District and just west of National Airport, is the core of Charles E. Smith Commercial Realty, which was founded in 1946 by Russian immigrant Charles E. Smith, who retired in 1967 and died in 1995. Beginning in

Xero was an SF fanzine published by Dick and Pat Lupoff that ran for 10 issues from 1960-63. I wish I'd been astute enough to subscribe to fanzines in those days. I'd have made the acquaintance of some wonderfulreptile expert at Flora's home at the Chester Zoo in this town in northern England. "But we certainly won't be naming any of the hatchlings Jesus."
Other reptile species reproduce asexually in a process known as parthenogenesis. But Flora's virginal conception, and that of another Komodo dragon earlier this year at the London Zoo, are the first time it has been documented in a Komodo dragon.
Slate: In 1983, as the residents of Calcata, a small town 30 miles north of Rome, prepared for their annual procession honoring a holy relic, a shocking announcement from the parish priest put a damper on festivities. "This year, the holy relic will not be exposed to the devotion of the faithful. It has vanished. Sacrilegious thieves have taken it from my home." Not

Amway built a factory in China while Dick DeVos was President.Amway Asia Pacific dedicated its approximately 15,000 sq m (152,000 sq ft), state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in the Guangzhou Economic and Technical Development District on January 18, 1995, after extensive production trials. The plant -- a centerpiece of the company's initial U.S. $100 million dollar commitment to China -- has been producing inventory of five household cleaning products since the dedication. These products also are included in the starter kits. (PR Newswire, March 20, 1995)
Dick DeVos acknowledged Amway built a plant in China in his own television advertisement."We built a plantin China to sell in China." (Dick DeVos, Television Advertisement, September 6, 2006)
In their media blog, Amway/Alticor openly acknowledged the company invested over $200 million in China and created 4,300 jobs in China."Here are the numbers: An investment of $220 million in China (an investment required by the Chinese government as a prerequisite of selling our products there). Over time, this investment has grown into about 4,300 employees in China: including manufacturing jobs, office jobs, and retail clerk jobs, staffing the counters at more than 170 shops."

Sidney Weinschneider, the debtor, had been involved in nursing home management *897 since at least 1973. In the late 1980s, he had an interest in, and considerable debts on, four nursing homes. In March 1989, Home Savings, his mortgagee, foreclosed on the mortgages of these nursing homes, and sold them in early 1989, leaving a substantial deficiency. Because of Weinschneider's experience in the field, Home Savings asked him to put together a management team to run the nursing homes. In August 1989, he met with various people to discuss the management team, among them Burton Behr, a friend of his, and Harold Geiser, aCPA and friend of Behr's. On September 25, 1989, he proposed to Home Savings that an entity called G.W. Burton ("Burton"), which would be owned by Weinschneider, Behr, and Geiser, would manage the nursing homes. Home Savings asked to meet the other members of the proposed management team. Weinschneider scheduled that meeting for October 12, 1989. On October 10, 1989, he filed a Chapter 11 petition in the bankruptcy court. Two days later, the meeting was held as agreed. On October 19, 1989, Burton was incorporated.
The arrangement about the management team was not yet finalized. During September and October 1989 crucially, nothing in the record pinpoints the date more precisely than this Weinschneider, Behr and Geiser discussed the arrangement and agreed that Weinschneider would own 23%

1, 1989, he succeeded in obtaining a management contract with Home Savings, Behr, and Geiser for Burton. On February 12, 1990, Burton took over management of the nursing homes. In October 1991, Burton bought one of the homes, which it later operated at a profit. So far, Burton has not paid Weinschneider anything.
Meanwhile, in May 1990, Weinschneider's Chapter 11 case was converted to a Chapter 7 case. Daniel Hoseman was appointed as the Trustee. In June 1990, the Official Unsecured Creditors Committee filed an adversary action ("the 1990 litigation") against Weinschneider and others seeking, among other things, a turnover of certain property. The Trustee settled the 1990 litigation in 1992, and, in December 1996, executed pursuant to that settlement a broad release. The release stated that the Trusteebe filed in order to enforce the above described agreement and acknowledgement.
A letter sent to the Trustee, dated June 15, 1995, in connection with this amendment, did not indicate that Weinschneider had laid the groundwork for the management contract or even had begun negotiations for an interest in Burton before filing his Chapter 11 petition.
In February 1996, Weinschneider filed a state contract action against Burton, Behr and Geiser seeking his share of Burton's profits. On February 27, 1998, the Trustee sued in bankruptcy court seeking a declaration that the state court law suit was the property of the bankruptcy estate. Weinschneider argued that the Trustee's suit was barred by the release. Both parties filed for summary judgment. On August 30, 1999, the bankruptcy court granted summary judgment to

Isaiah
Isaiah had served in the military for 23 years. On June 7, the Boxers beheaded him because he was known to be a Christian.
Ioann
Ioann (John) was only eight years old at the time. On June 10, when his father was killed, Boxers slashed his shoulders and chopped off his nose, ears, and toes. His brother Isaiah's bride managed to save him from death by hiding him in a latrine. In the morning he sat at the entrance without clothes and shoes, and when people asked "Are you hurting?" he answered “It doesn't hurt." Boys scoffed at him, calling him a “child of demons." Shortly thereafter, he reposed.
Ia the Teacher
Saint Ia, head teacher at the Orthodox Mission School, was awaytaken by the Boxers on June 10, and severally slashed and beaten to near death and buried alive. A non-Christian sympathetic to her suffering, picked up her body and took her to his home and nursed her back to health. The Boxers, finding out Ia was still alive, arrested her yet again, and tortured her until her death, the Name of Christ on her lips as she died. St. Ia the Teacher is sometimes referred to as "Saint Ia the Twice-Martyred".

Additionally, appellant offered extensive medical records, properly admissible as evidence under Tex.R.Civ.Evid. 803(6), which reveal that Dr. Padgett performed two additional operations in the twelve months following the closed reduction procedure: in February, 1980, he manipulated young Trevino's left knee under anesthetic; in August, 1980, he surgically removed the sinus track, scraped the underlying bone, and inserted inflow-outflow catheters. Dr. Padgett treated young Trevino on some thirty additional, follow-up visits, and several times he cauterized the wound with silver nitrate. In his affidavit, Dr. Padgett does not mention the additional procedures he performed on young Trevino, nor does he reveal with any degreecriminal possession of a forged instrument in the second degree, upon his plea of guilty, and sentencing him as a second felony offender to an indeterminate term of three to six years imprisonment, and a forfeiture of his mobile telephone and $900 cash.

Trooper Whitt approached the car on the driver's side and requested defendant's license and registration. Defendant directed the passenger to look in the glove compartment for the documents. While waiting for defendant to produce the documents, Trooper Whitt walked to the front of the automobile and appeared to write down information from a license plate which was displayed in the front windshield.
The trooper returned to the driver's side and the passenger told defendant that he could not find the license and registration. At that moment, defendant raised a gun and shot Trooper Whitt. The trooper staggered back and "let out a groaning sound." It appeared he had been shot in the shoulder. The trooper started coming forward again, grabbingfor his shoulder with his left hand while attempting to reach his gun with his right hand. At that point "defendant raised the gun again and paused and aimed and shot him again the second time." This time the trooper fell to the ground. *344 Defendant looked out the window "to see if [the trooper] was still laying there and took off down the highway."

about one foot to 10 feet northwards and underneath Nepal in a matter of seconds during the devastating 7.9-magnitude earthquake that hit the neighbouring country on Saturday, a US scientist has said.
"Saturday's slip took place over an area about 1,000 to 2,000 square miles over a zone spanning the cities of Kathmandu and Pokhara in one direction, and almost the entire Himalaya mountain width in the other," said Colin Stark, Lamont Associate Research Professor at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University.
"A part of India slid about one to 10 feet northwards and underneath Nepal in a matter of seconds," Stark said.
"The rock (we call it the "crust", or more precisely 'lithosphere') below Bihar slid under Nepal along a zone from Bharatpur, through Hetauda, to Janakpur," Stark said. Read:being driven slowly but surely underneath Nepal and Tibet at a speed of around 1.8 inches per year, Stark earlier wrote in an article published on CNN website.
Over millions of years, the squeezing has crushed the Himalayas like a concertina, raising mountains to heights of several miles and triggering earthquakes on a regular basis from Pakistan to Burma. "Saturday's quake was neither unusual nor unexpected, although it was larger than most," Stark said.

"Every time he sees me, he says, 'I didn't do that.' And I really believe that when he tells me that," Trump told reporters on Air Force One en route to Hanoi on November 11.
His comments caused a furor back in the United States, but allowed Trump to occupy a political safe space and advance his position that the Russian intelligence operation to boost his candidacy -- identified by US spy agencies -- was nothing but a hoax.
Trump later modified his stance, saying that he believes spy agency assessments about election hacking now his appointees are in charge. But his apparent intent, blurring the question of Russia's influence on the election, in an operation meant to help him win, had already been accomplished.
Trump's tendency to chosethe most politically advantageous version of reality started as soon as he entered the White House.
He inflated the size of his inaugural crowds, he erroneously called the United States the most taxed nation in the world and claimed he would have won the popular vote in last year's election were it not for "millions" of illegal voters.
His effective endorsement of Moore on Tuesday may well offer a tangible political gain for the President if he wins in Alabama. And it certainly bolstered the firebrand judge's campaign, a factor his aides quickly recognized.

Cos2k1 is just ragging on stlrz_d, because he hates when people say "going in as" a specific team. It isn't like baseball, where a decision has to be made regarding which specific ballcap will be worn on the Hall of Fame plaque.
But, yes, since he would be going in as a player and not a coach, it should only read "Detroit Lions 1959–1972" beneath his bust. Although he was drafted by Cleveland, he was cut in camp before playing a game with them, so he was never officiallya Brown.
so the Browns have been astute evaluators of talent as far back as 1959, huh?
Well, at least they knew enough to pick Jim Brown with the 6th pick in the 1957 Draft and held onto him.
We had the 5th pick in that draft, by the way, and we took Len Dawson. He also was a Hall of Famer, but not for us. After acquiring Bobby Layne in 1958, we ended up trading Dawson to Cleveland in 1959. They released him after a couple of seasons, and he went on to Hall of Fame stardom with the Chiefs shortly thereafter.

"to conduct violent jihad and to be part of America's 'downfall'."
In his subsequent dealings with an FBI informant, he spoke of a plot to attack the Los Angeles subway but later backed away from those plans.
Teausant, who has an infant daughter, allegedly wanted to go to Syria in the hope of "being on every news station in the world."
"I'm going to be commander and I'm going to be on the front of every single newspaper in the country," he is quoted as telling the FBI informant.
Authorities said the case illustrates the vulnerability of young people who can fall prey to jihadist groups on the Internet.
"This case, like others in communities across the United States and around the world, is an example of how a young person from anyplace and any background might make the terrible decision to try and become part of a terrorist organization," Benjamin Wagner, the attorney representing the US, said in a statement.
In an interview with the Sacramento Bee from his jail cell in 2014, Teausant denied he would ever have launched attacks in the US.
His lawyers also argued that he posed no real threat.
"In reality, Nick couldn't provide material support to a pup tent," they stated in court documents.

'The Agents advised these crewmen that they were suspected of carrying narcotics and asked them to deliver the contraband. Thereupon Cheung Yuk Hi and Kwok Yu Chi delivered containers of suspected opium which each had concealed in his rectal cavity. When the Agents at 99 Broadway had obtained suspected opium, they advised the other surveillance officers of this information by radio. By this time the first group of three Chinese crewmen had gone inside 730 Jackson Street. The information that suspected narcotics had been found was communicated over the radio to other officers who were in the vicinity of 730 Jackson Street. The officers then entered 730 Jackson Street and proceeded towards Rooms 10and 11 for the purpose of arresting appellant. (The agents had neither arrest nor search warrants.)

is the album's lead single, and its title makes no bones about calling out President Trump's plan to build a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico. Frontwoman Victoria Ruiz and guitarist Joey La Neve DeFrancesco inject the song with righteous ire, along with an appeal for empathy: "And when you see her there / I hope you see yourself."
Musically, the band has pared its sound down to a taut, nervy core, a galloping rush of shout-along chants and barbed-wire guitar. As with previous releases, bursts of brass punctuate the proceedings, but synthesizer also shows up in "Lips That Bite," a growling, aggressive anthem of defiance with an eerily delicate chorus. The band shows its bilingual side on several tracks, including "Somos Chulas (No Somos Pendejas)," a catharticsoundtracking a future they hope will come.
Cost Of Living was produced by Guy Picciotto of Fugazi, and he does more then lend the recording a tight, powerful punch. It's as if he's passing the torch, sending off the next generation of impassioned punks to make their own impact. The members of Downtown Boys were already well underway in that regard, and they certainly don't need anyone's stamp of approval — but Cost Of Living nonetheless picks up where Fugazi left off, focusing punk rock through a lens of social justice, art-damaged noise and burning intensity.
That said, Downtown Boys is a band all its own, and Cost Of Living is a cry of resistance — and a celebration of life in all its diversity —that couldn't be more urgent,

Police responded to a report of a domestic violence dispute involving a man and woman on Kahekili Highway near the 37th mile marker near Nakalele Point about 6:27 p.m. on Sept. 1.
Officers said that after they made contact with a man in the area, he fled from them and jump off a cliff and into the ocean.
Authorities found the body of a woman at about 7:28 p.m.
At about 6:45 a.m. the next day, Sept. 2, officers were airlifted by helicopter to the rock point at Nakalele where they found the male suspect who had jumped into the ocean and took him into custody. He was later transported to Maui Memorial Medical Center.

IT SOUNDED like something straight out of the movie "Network" -- all those people hollering maniacally into the night from their rabbit-warren highrise windows. In fact, it was very nearly a direct -- and no doubt intentional -- quotation of their capsnapped ultimatum ("I'M MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!"). Only the voice was not that of actor Peter Finch playing the cracked-up commentator, Howard Beale. Rather it was the voice of Delaware's chief executive, Pierre S. du Pont IV. The setting was the good old governors' conference. The subject (as if you didn't already know) was the newly popular drive to limit federal spending via an amendment to the Constitution. And the quotation went as follows:

Commenting on Moscow working out a response to Washington's new anti-Russian sanctions, an economics expert said that for the US, any cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang is already seen as a "violation."
Igor Kovalev of the Moscow-based Higher School of Economics said that the inclusion of Russian citizens in the US sanctions list on North Korea is not surprising.
"I do not think that these sanctions, like all other ones, will have any kind of "deafening effect" and lead to irreparable consequences," Kovalev said.
"And there is nothing surprising in the fact that sanctions are imposed on Russian citizens and Russian companies. This is quite natural given that this law [on the US sanctions against Russia, Iran and North Korea] pertained to the three countries, first and foremost Russia," he added.
Asfor the Russian-North Korean cooperation, "it is already the most blatant 'violation' as such from the point of view of Americans who see it as a pretext to 'punish' both Moscow and Pyongyang," according to Kovalev.
He was echoed by Russian political analyst Vyacheslav Smirnov who gave his thoughts on Moscow's response to the US sanctions.
"It should be strong but relevant. Because these are personal sanctions directed against people whose business is connected with North Korea. Correspondingly, retaliatory measures will be personalized in relation with US businessmen or US politicians," according to Kovalev.
Saying that no other punitive measures against Washington will be imposed, he warned at the same time against turning a blind eye to the US sanctions.
He predicted that the White House's anti-Russian sanctions, which reflected an internal

Roberts started draining the cyst Feb. 1. Progress was extremely slow-going: The tumor's fluid was extracted to the tune of 120 drops per minute. Roughly 200 pounds of fluid had been removed after four days, leaving a smaller, more manageable tumor that no longer posed a risk to Levandowski's heart. A contemporary Time magazine piece described the shrunken cyst as being about the size of a "bushel basket," or 8 gallons.

fans' perception of Pettis and Guida couldn't be at further ends of the spectrum. Pettis became a household name around MMA after pulling off one of the moves of the century with his dynamic "Showtime Kick" against Ben Henderson last year at WEC 53. Guida is a household name as well, but he's built his reputation by staying on the ground and working for all 15 minutes.
"His circus kicks were great against Ben Henderson, but people aren't going to remember that after my hand is raised on Saturday," said Guida.
Check out Guida's laid back attitude as he faces a guy, who most expect to be the next challenger for the UFC's lightweight title.
Guida isn't worried about Pettis' takedown defense. Pettis performed well against another high level wrestler inWhen Jimmy Haslam III was asked by the Cleveland City Council on Wednesday morning whether or not he would explore the idea of a retractable roof on Cleveland Browns Stadium, he said that he has three architect firms coming to examine what improvements can be made.

Today, a source inside the Cleveland Browns organization told ESPN Cleveland that one of the architect firms called the project a “nightmare” in a phone conversation. The architects have yet to examine the stadium in person but said the idea of rerouting the entire HVAC system and making system modifications would be a tall task.
The source also said that figuring out how to put in new support

Victoria Falls offer dozens of view points along the tropical forest, revealing "scenes so lovely (that they) must have been gazed on by angels in their flight" (David Livingstone). The rainforest boasts magnificent flora such as huge mahogany, wild fig, sausage trees, date palm groves, orchids and ferns as well as other precious trees. Many species of birds and small mammals may be spotted beneath the protective canopy of the forest.
Mana Pools
Along the shores of the Zambezi River lies Mana Pools National Park (2,196 km2) a remote, wild and fascinating area, that has been declared a Unesco World Heritage Site and is surely the most beautiful park in Zimbabwe.
It is home to a wide range of large mammals, over 350 bird species and aquaticzebras, warthogs and hippos.
Predators such as lions, leopards, spotted hyenas and cheetahs are present in the area, but more difficult to see. It is however rare that a visitor leaves Mana Pools without seeing at least one of these large carnivores.
Walking and canoe safaris as well as fishing are the main activities of the park.
Hwange National Park
Named after a local Nhanzwa chief, Hwange National Park is the largest Park in Zimbabwe occupying 14 650 square kilometres in the northwest of the country.
It is extremely prolific in terms of wildlife: the park has about 90 species of animals (including many predators and 30 000 elephants!), 413 species of birds and approximately a 1000 species of trees and shrubs.
The vegetation ranges from savannah grassland and acacia scrub to grassy vleis

further outrage.
"As it was unfolding I could tell this was not going to turn out well," says law professor Trina Jones. "I knew it was going to be a trainwreck."
In addition to being a long-time tennis fan, Prof Jones has studied racial stereotyping and how it plays into the lives of African-American women.
"Black women are not supposed to push back and when they do, they're deemed to be domineering. Aggressive. Threatening. Loud."
Similar words have been levelled at Serena Williams more than once, as well as former First Lady Michelle Obama and top Democrat Maxine Waters in recent years.
Williams has been docked before for her behaviour on the court - in 2009, she was fined $82,500 for an angry outburst - though she is far from the only playerto face punishment for similar conduct.
Prof Jones says some have compared the referee's calls to speeding tickets: many people speed and sometimes a few are caught.
But that analogy, she says, misses the point that African Americans are disproportionately pulled aside. In the case of Williams, she was first dinged on a coaching violation that happens often but is rarely called out as the player's fault.
"Why would a black woman in a championship match therefore be called on it?" Prof Jones says, adding that an attack on one's integrity is only natural to be angry about.
"[Williams] is outraged because she knows the context."

black women in America see these depictions translate differently in real life.
For Ms Collins, the picture of the "hyperemotional" black woman has become more commonplace as Americans grapple with issues of polarised politics and civility.
Black women, she says, are often faced with people responding to their emotions "from a place of perceived fear".
"There's almost a paranoia around it. A feeling that you have to go above and beyond to make people feel comfortable around you."
In a 2016 interview with Oprah Winfrey, former First Lady Michelle Obama echoed the same sentiment.
"You think, that is so not me! But then you sort of think, well, this isn't about me," she said of being labelled as an "angry black woman".

Penguins jump on Senators in series opener, 4-1

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The formula for beating the Pittsburgh Penguins is not difficult. It's the doing it for 60 minutes part that's tricky.
The Ottawa Senators did everything they thought they needed to do against the Penguins in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals Tuesday night. They carried play for long stretches, put steady pressure on Pittsburgh goaltender Tomas Vokoun and mostly stayed out of trouble, taking just three penalties.
Two too many, as it turned out.
Pittsburgh's thriving poweropener, going 0 for 5 on the power play and surrendering a short-handed goal to Pittsburgh's Pascal Dupuis in the third.
"If we don't capitalize on opportunities, they'll get their goals because there's a lot of studs on their team," Ottawa's Cory Conacher said.
Including Dupuis. The versatile forward now has a league-high six goals in the postseason.
"It's not just 5-on-5, it's not just scoring goals," Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said. "He's an outstanding penalty killer and he did that again tonight. He scored the goal on the PK, but his work on the PK was just as impressive."
Evgeni Malkin extended his points streak to seven games with a goal and an assist for Pittsburgh, while Vokoun stopped 35 shots for his third straight victory since taking over for struggling

Syria and Iraq, but "High Risk Travelers" and "High Risk Returnees".
The government is fully aware of the security risk to which it is subjecting Canadians: According to the documents, "HRRs [High Risk Returnees] can pose a significant threat to the national security of Canada". This fact raises the question of why the government of Canada is keen to facilitate these people's "right of return" -- when presumably the primary obligation of the government is to safeguard the security of law-abiding Canadian citizens.
The government also does not appear hopeful that the returning terrorists will face criminal charges. By the end of 2017, the Trudeau government had only charged two returned ISIS fighters, and Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale said at the time, "This is an issue that is bedevilingdisillusioned with the cause" or "...may no longer be interested in violence."
How comforting for Canadians that their government is pandering to terrorists while pretending that there is a chance that returning jihadis will suddenly change their ways.
Attempts at deradicalization elsewhere have frequently turned out to be ineffective. In the UK, for example, a new government report shows that the vast majority of deradicalization programs are not only ineffective, but even counterproductive, and that those tasked with executing the programs "...would refuse to engage in topics over fears of bringing up matters of race and religion without appearing discriminatory". In France, the country's first and only deradicalization center closed in September 2017 after just one year, without having "deradicalized" a single individual. On the contrary, three participants reportedly behaved

The blockbuster trade between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics may be on hold.
According to a report from ESPN.com's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Cavaliers are "still evaluating" Isaiah Thomas' injured hip following Friday's physical and and are "weighing options" with regard to the completion of the deal that would send Kyrie Irving to the Boston Celtics.
"It's a very sensitive situation," one source told Wojnarowski.
Adam Himmelsbach of the Boston Globe reported the two sides are likely to renegotiate before the deal was rescinded.
Cleveland.com's Joe Vardon added that Thomas' agent declined to comment on the situation.
Andre Iguodala chimed in on the possibility of a voided deal:

in modern days, since 1900, has thrown a one-hitter in his first start. Charles Jones of Cincinnati pitched a no-hitter in his major league debut in 1884. Two American Leaguers have broken in with one-hitters, Addie Joss of Cleveland and Mike Fornieles of Washington."
Marichal's line on the night looked like this: 9 IP, 1 hit, 1 walk, 12 strikeouts, and no runs, for a game score of 96. As a pitcher, you just can't ask for more than that in your debut. The fact that it was a Hall of Famer who was able to do it in his debut seems almost accidental. The next best debut belongs to the Karl Spooner mentioned above, who struck out 15 but walked 3 and gave up 3 hits in hisPitchers whose names will forever be forgotten. But there are also plenty of Hall of Famers in that camp. Using the Play Index again, this time to get low game scores in major league debuts, there's one name that jumps out in particular: the recently (though, unofficially) retired Tom Glavine.
On August 17, 1987, Glavine made his first start as a Brave, but could not get out of the 4th inning. By the time they pulled him, Glavine had given up 10 hits, 5 walks, and 6 runs while striking out only 1 for a middling game score of 13. From the game story the next day:

indicted for securities fraud and money laundering.
During the run, though, Belfort (a kid who used to hustle ice on Long Island beaches) hired young, hungry, hardworking employees, some of whom hadn't even graduated from high school. They were known as "Strattonites."
The "Strattonites" stuck to Belfort's cold call scripts, drove up the prices of stocks, and partied. Hard.
Some of that partying included midget tossing.
And drugs, of course, Belfort ('The Wolf') and his crew did a lot of them.
In his autobiography, Belfort details doing a lot of hardcore drugs when he was at the top of his Wall Street game in the 90s.
Here's what he told CNBC's Jane Wells:
Belfort says at the height of his drug problem, he was taking 22 different medications: 20 quaaludes a day, balanced out bycocaine, the morphine, xanax, valium, etc. You name it, he abused it. I said to him, "Even if half of this is true (skeptical as always) how are you alive?" He says he was just really good about balancing it all out.
Belfort also bought crazy toys with his money — so there may be a jet crash scene in the movie.
The 'Wolf' crashed his crashed his gulfstream jet during one of his high points.
He also owned a 256-foot super-yacht (named Nadine and originally built for Coco Chanel) that he would eventually sink off the coast of Italy. Other toys include a Ferrari Testaross and a Hamptons house, just to name a few.
Downs? Think: Physical violence and dangerous behavior.

John Park’s vision is for a Korean enclave out in the northwest suburbs centered around a golf community.
He attempted to do that when he bought Lake Barrington Shores Golf Club last year, but my suspicion is that his intended Korean clientele was turned off by the relatively high priced townhome/condo units and the high association fees that accompany them.
Lake Barrington Shores hosted a number of outings for Korean groups earlier on in the season, but interest in them waned as the summer moved along and Korean play on the course mostly petered out by fall.

NEW DELHI: "I could have died there", said a distraught OP Jaisha as she recalled the women's marathon event at Rio Olympics during which she claimed she was not provided any water and energy drinks by the officials despite designated stations were given for India."It was very hot there. The competition was at 9am, I ran in scorching heat. There was no water for us, neither recovery drinks nor food. Only once in 8kms did we get water (from the Rio organisers) which did not help at all. All the countries had their stalls at every 2kms but our country's stall was empty," said Jaisha who finished 89th in Rio Olympics women's marathon event with a below-par timing of 2:47:19.Jaisha had

for failing to have already told his friends what happened to his parents, saying he should be "proud" to be their son for their bravery.
In Half-Blood Prince, Augusta wants Neville to continue studying Transfiguration instead of Charms, which she considers a soft option. It is revealed by Minerva McGonagall that Augusta thinks like this because she failed her Charms O.W.L. McGonagall also writes a letter to Augusta telling her it's time that she "learned to be proud of the grandson she's got, rather than the one she thinks she ought to have".
Deathly Hallows is a definite turning point for the relationship between Augusta and her grandson. Towards the climax of the book, it is revealed that the Death Eaters targeted Augusta when Neville began acting as leader of1947, believing it would be funny. Augusta didn't agree with this, particularly after the gerbil bit her, and placed a mousetrap in her bag to prevent a repeat of this happening again.
Augusta is portrayed by Leila Hoffman in the first film, appearing only in the background escorting Neville to the Hogwarts Express.
Xenophilius Lovegood
Xenophilius Lovegood is Pandora Lovegood's husband, Luna Lovegood's father, and the editor of The Quibbler, a magazine that often publishes stories about wild conspiracy theories or research on seemingly non-existent creatures. In Greek, his name means "one who likes that which is strange" (xeno meaning "strange" and philo meaning "liking" or "fondness").
He is introduced in Deathly Hallows as a guest at the wedding of Fleur Delacour and Bill Weasley, and is said to be a friend.

New Year after being arbitrarily detained for five months in a black jail," Fu said today.
"Both the previous one year criminal sentence and the past five months detention are absolutely part of political revenge against pastor Huang's public opposition against the barbaric forced demolition of crosses and his effort for organizing true Gospel mission independent of the government controlled religious body, the TSPM [Three Self Patriotic Movement].
"I call upon the Chinese higher authorities to hold accountable of those abusers of power (in its arbitrary nature of pastor Huang's detention) in Zhejiang and restore justice to pastor Huang."
Up to 1,700 churches in Zhejiang have been demolished or had their crosses removed as part of a three-year 'Three Rectifications and One Demolition' campaign, supposedly with the aim of exposing andLance Jones Joins HeplerBroom LLC as a Partner

"He had to have special permission to leave the reserve and chaperones wherever he went, in case he got involved with white women.

"It was not just his triumph over opponents, but his triumph over his whole life circumstance that was so remarkable.

What made Gilbert's speed more remarkable was that he bowled off a run-up of four paces.
"He used to sling it off his shoulder and was as fast as Thomson, but to do it off four paces was unbelievable," Tatz says.
"If he had been a free Aborigine and not a controlled Aborigine, he might have been a chance to play Test cricket.
"But he was taking on a whole system of government, administration and law. Not even cricket was able to get out from under that tight control.

Update at 5:30PM EST: How to remove all your old Facebook wall posts, public or private, from your Timeline
Facebook has been accused of inadvertently publishing private messages on users’ Timeline profiles from the years 2007, 2008, 2009, and possibly even earlier. The issue was first reported by Metro France, but soon reports from all over over started to flood in. Facebook has denied the claims, saying the posts in questions are indeed old Wall posts, but readers are saying otherwise.
A quick check with my The Next Web colleagues around the world shows that this issue isn’t happening to everyone. At first it looked as if English-speaking countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada were not affected, but a closer look seems to show thisA. Delucchi barred this particular evidence as "iffy."
Jackie Peterson told her son to "deny everything" when talking to detectives, prompting one investigator to conclude his parents "know more about what really happened to Laci Peterson."
Investigator Steve Jacobson wrote this report after listening to a phone call Jan. 17, 2003, a few days after reports of Peterson's mistress surfaced in the press: "On January 17th Scott receives a voice mail from his mother. His mother tells him he should 'deny, deny, deny' and that she was told that years ago by an attorney. His mother tells him his sister Susan (Caudillo) needs to get a yes or no answer from him. His mother thinks that may not be a good idea. His mother said he must deny 'anything.'"

CTSS was used at Bell Labs as part of our participation in the Multics project, and as Ken began to use Multics, he wrote yet another version of QED for that system. This one was in BCPL, and instead of compiling to machine code, regular expressions were represented as trees that were interpreted by the editor. However, the basic technique of simulating an NDFA was still used.
During the same period (ca. 1967), I arrived at Bell Labs, and fairly soon thereafter the company began withdrawing from Multics. Unix was at first nonexistent and then embryonic, and the main computation resource was GE-TSS, GE'sof the text being edited is now, of course, completely standard and accepted. The same program, under the name ex, works better on typewriter-like terminals; aside from some fancier commands and better diagnostics, it's essentially ed.
The current local state of the QED line of descent is exemplified by sam, by Rob Pike (see his "The Text Editor sam," in Software -- Practice and Experience 17 #11, Nov. 1987). It's available for FTP in both Unix and Windows versions; search for "sam editor" on netlib. Sam offers cut-and-paste, mouse-and-menu editing on its text windows together with a command window, the language of which is drawn from the QED line of descent.
The current implementation of regular expressions in Bell Labs research software uses algorithms close to those in Ken's CTSS

and salt pans of Bolivia's altiplanos (high plains), was amazed that they were swanning around the world for no apparent reason, rather than staying at home with their husbands and children. "No babies, chicas [girls]? But why?" The friend who dropped me off in Tupiza, where the trip started, had only one child, and he was over 40; this provoked a flurry of giggles and raised eyebrows from Rosia. Her own father, she said, had been one of 14 children; she was one of four herself and that was considered a surprisingly restrained set of siblings.
If you are heading out into the altiplanos, you need to take everything with you. There are no shops or filling stations and when the accommodation is described as "basic", that pretty muchworld, where the average income is around $1,000 (£715) a year, the lowest in South America. I think Viviana was probably rather a brave person. She was 35 years old and had decided not to follow the path that most Bolivians would consider normal. Like me, she was "no spouse, no children" in a country where that's considered sad and strange. Froilan, our driver, was only 20 and already had two children, much to the surprise of the chicas from Leeds Uni ("two babies and he's younger than we are!").
Viviana, however, had other thoughts: some surprisingly feminist. She had money, she said, rubbing thumb and forefinger together, and winking and smiling. "Kids, expensive!" She also said that she loved meeting people from other countries. Europeans, she said, were

where Froilan had been counting on buying some fuel was dry. There had been a referendum a couple of days before and the resulting confusion had disrupted everything, including petrol deliveries. We ground to a halt on a desert road; the first few other vehicles we flagged down weren't interested in helping, probably because they were worried about running short themselves. Eventually, a sympathetic driver allowed us a litre, just enough to limp into the unprepossessing town of Uyuni, where we joined a disorganised queue of lorries, cars, Jeeps and people carrying all kinds of containers at a petrol station where a delivery was expected.
Since it became independent in 1825, Bolivia has seen more coups than any other country - 193. "Presidents are no good," said Viviana. "SantaCruz [Bolivia's largest city] doesn't want to share with the provinces." She does, however, think the current incumbent, Juan Evo Morales Ayma, is an improvement. "Es indigenous," she observed approvingly. Morales, Bolivia's first indigenous Indian president, was elected in 2006. The referendum that stopped the petrol getting through was to ratify his bold reform policies, which include an attempt to redistribute land to the poor. The president, a former llama herder who is particularly popular in rural areas, received a decisive vote of confidence. However, his opponents were not giving way without a struggle, and following the referendum, there were violent scenes and a number of deaths as pro and anti-Morales factions battled it out.

and decided he didn't like what he had become. As an internationally-famous scientist, he had given and attended lavish parties. He vowed to return to his laboratory for more serious pursuits.
Thomas A. Edison (above with 1880 "Edison Effect" lamps) and Tesla disagreed on use of alternating current. Edison supported direct current, but lost the argument.In 1893, for the Chicago World's Fair, Tesla designed an electrical display which allowed 1.000,000 volts to pass through his body. Not only did the Tesla system provide all electric power for the fair, but also the high-voltage display proved to Edison that alternating current was not deadly, as Edison had contended. Tesla's showmanship brought him even more admiration from the public. He was fond of performing his electrical feats while dressed in whitetie and tails. His jet-black hair, light blue eyes, and tall, slender build provided a magical figure for those who watched in awe as sparks danced from his fingertips.
One of the crowning achievements to Tesla's career was the design of a power system to harness Niagara Falls. Both Westinghouse and General Electric submitted proposals to install Tesla polyphase generating systems (GE had previously secured licenses to use the patents). By 1896 the project, with portions supplied by both manufacturers, was finished. It was the largest electrical engineering undertaking up to that time.

By March, 1893 Tesla decided to pursue full-time his dream of a “worldwide system of intelligence and power.” During the winter of 1894, he built a transmitting and receiving station for sending messages through the earth

concern towards the community in which the individual factually lives. So, in search for social responsibility we are seemingly diverted to another focus of attention: the individual. For all references adduced so far evolve around the individual student, the personal target of ministry, even though everything seems to aim at the community. Paradoxically, Jesuit mission begins with the individual; mission being understood in the broadest sense of the word, and individual in an anthropological sense. Possevino's Cultivation of Talents In order to prove my point I should like to draw upon one key text of early Jesuit education, namely Antonio Possevino's Cultura ingeniorum – which should translate as "Cultivation of Talents", but in a more loose sense could be rendered as "Culture of the individual". Possevino (+1611) wasone of the great missionaries of his Order. He organized schools in the Baltics and in Transylvania, he negotiated with princes all over Europe, and he also wrote two important books that, on the surface, are something like commented bibliographies. But in many parts, the books expand to well pondered studies on the meaning of scholarship in general and an assessment of special areas. The book covering theology had the title Apparatus sacer – "Sacred warehouse" and came out in 1603-08, the book covering humanities came out first in 1593 and was called Bibliotheca selecta – "Selected library" with the subtitle: "On the ratio studiorum [or rather, "on how to study"] for the sake of disciplines and salvation for all peoples."13 Again, we see the view widen from

Ms Harris told the jury the girl was too drunk to consent to sex.
"(In the footage) she is flopping, slow or sleeping, Kurt Stevenson has to direct her take her clothes off, to move or sit up," Ms Harris said.
The footage was shown to the jury in a court which was closed to the public. Not even the alleged victim has seen the footage.
Ms Harris described that at one stage Stevenson can be seen having sex with the girl while Waters stands nearby naked with an erect penis "waiting his turn".

Ms Harris summed up the evidence provided by Professor Susan Hayes who determined the girl had a mild intellectual disability with an IQ of around 60 when the average person has an IQ of 100.
"She was a vulnerable young lady without the coping skills to protect herself," she said.
The court heard she was invited to the party by Carlyle Watson who she had met over Facebook a few days earlier.
Defence lawyer for Stevenson, Michael Smith said that the one alcoholic beverage and "thumb nail" of cannabis the victim said she had that night would not have rendered her so drunk that she "blacked out".

For brevity the supernatant at this stage will be referred to as microsomes. After three washes the supernatants were removed and the mitochondria pellet was re-suspended in the homogenisation buffer. This preparation is referred to as mitochondria.
Separation of Heavy and Light Mitochondria
------------------------------------------
Isolated mitochondria from human placentae were separated into heavy mitochondria characteristic of cytotrophoblast mitochondria and light mitochondria characteristic of syncytiotrophoblast mitochondria by sequential centrifugation following the method of Martinez and colleagues \[[@R20]\]. Briefly, mitochondria were resuspended in an equal volume of homogenisation buffer and centrifuged at 4000 × g for 15 minutes at 4ºC. The pellet was designated as heavy mitochondria. The pellet was removed and the supernatant was further centrifuged at 16,000 × g for 15 minutes at 4ºC to obtain light mitochondria.
Fractionation of Mitochondria
-----------------------------
To producecell line MA-10 \[[@R33]\].
CONCLUSION
==========
This study has indicated that PKAα Cat and AKAP79 are present in the mitochondria of both cytotrophoblast and syncytiotrophoblast. PKAα Cat it is located mainly in the outer membrane whereas AKAP79 is located predominantly in the contact sites. Future experiments are necessary to establish the physiological roles of PKAα Cat and AKAP79 in the mitochondria of human placenta.
We would like to thank the staff of the Women and Babies Service at The Royal Prince Alfred Hospital for help in collecting the placentae. This study was conducted under the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital Human Ethics Committee protocol X06-0061and funded by a grant from the Integrative Physiology Group, The University of Sydney.

Part of the Westboro Baptist Church as it appears in recent years. The URL “godhatesamerica.com” is written on a banner hanging in front of the church. [Source: Ask (.com)]The Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) in Topeka, Kansas, holds its first services under the auspices of Pastor Fred Waldron Phelps. Phelps, his wife, nine of his 13 children, and their spouses and children make up the core of the WBC’s small congregation. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) will describe the church as a virtual cult led by Phelps. Phelps and his extended family members live in houses on the WBC compound in Topeka, with the houses arranged in a box formation and sharing a central backyard. [Southern Poverty Law Center, 2012] The congregation will quickly begin shedding members because‘dyke’ in interviews, and the older children report having no close friends at school. The Phelps family raises its children to hold hateful and upsetting views, and to believe that all people not in WBC will go to hell.… The children quickly grow alienated in school and in society, leading them to build relationships almost exclusively within the family. This helps to explain why nine of Fred Phelps’ 13 children have remained members of the church.” [Southern Poverty Law Center, 4/2001; Southern Poverty Law Center, 2012] Phelps, who dropped out of the fundamentalist religious Bob Jones University, was ordained as a Baptist minister at the age of 17.

Elton Britt
parlayed his Jimmie Rodgers imitation —
with a yodeling ability and range that surpassed
Rodgers' — into country's biggest hit
of the World War II era, "There's a Star Spangled Banner Waving Somewhere,"
which sold four million copies in the early '40s. He was born James Britt Baker
in Zack, AR, on June 27, 1913, and began playing guitar and singing around his
hometown while in his mid-teens. Baker's career was made in 1930 when
the Beverly Hill Billies
returned from California to their Arkansas home to recruit a new vocalist. He
won the talent search, and after being renamed Elton Britt, spent three years
performing and recording with
the Hill Billies. Britt moved to New York in 1933, initially playing in a
quartet named Pappy, Zeke, Ezra & Elton. He recorded later in the '30s, as a
solo actand also with the Wenatchee Mountaineers, Zeke Manners' Gang, and the
Rustic Rhythm Trio.
Britt began his period of fame in 1939, thanks to two circumstances: his
signature on a contract for the discount label RCA Bluebird and — most
importantly — his friendship with songwriter/producer Bob Miller. Miller wrote
all of Elton Britt's greatest early hits, including "Chime Bells," "Rocky
Mountain Lullaby," "Buddy Boy," "Driftwood on the River," and in 1942, "There's
a Star Spangled Banner Waving Somewhere." The latter was adopted as a symbol of
the war effort by patriotic audiences — much as "Over There" had served World
War I sympathizers. President Franklin Roosevelt even invited Britt — billed as
"the World's Highest Yodeler" — to the White House in 1942 to perform the hit.

First Report of Leaf Spot Caused by Cladosporium herbarum on Centaurea solstitialis in Greece.
Centaurea solstitialis L. (yellow starthistle), family Asteraceae, an invasive weed in California and the western United States, is targeted for biological control. In the summer of 2003, an epidemic of unknown etiology on dying C. solstitialis plants was observed near Kozani, Greece (40°22'07″N, 21°52'35″E, elevation, 634 m). Plants had necrotic light brown leaf spots on the lower leaves and the decurrent leaf bases along the stems. Often, necrotic lesions extended along the stems to the capitula. Virtually all plants in a solid stand of C. solstitialis (approximately 0.5 ha) showed disease symptoms. Diseased plants were collected, air dried, and sent to the quarantine facility of the Foreign Disease-Weed Science Research Unit (FDWSRU), USDA/ARS, Fort Detrick,then spread up the stems to the capitula, often resulting in plant death. The fungus also infected developing flowers. Cladosporium herbarum was reisolated from each of the 16 bolted C. solstitialis plants in two separate tests at the FDWSRU and from all bolted inoculated plants at the European Biological Control Laboratory (EBCL) in Greece. In the greenhouse at the EBCL, the pathogen readily spread to (and was isolated from) another 10 noninoculated C. solstitialis plants in close vicinity to the inoculated C. solstitialis plants. Results of host range tests will establish if this isolate of Cladosporium herbarum has the potential as a biological control agent of C. solstitialis in the United States and does not pose a threat to other Centaurea spp. used in horticulture.

Roads Minister Duncan Gay said on Friday that the government was reviewing the toll on the tunnel, but he did not disclose at the time that Transurban had lodged an unsolicited proposal. The fact that Australia's largest toll road company has gone to considerable lengths to lodge a formal offer raises the likelihood of a change to the tunnel's tolling regime, or the way it operates as part of Transurban's extensive Sydney motorway network. "For them to voluntarily reduce the toll, [it] must include something else," Martin Currie analyst Andrew Chambers said. "Reducing the toll would tend to result in lower revenue." Apart from offering motorists who drive between the eastern suburbs and the inner west a means of avoiding congestion in the CBD, the tunnel links tothe Eastern Distributor, which is at growing risk of traffic jams due to congestion in the central city from the construction of the $2.1 billion light rail project. Transurban's latest unsolicited offer – the details of which remain bound by commercial-in-confidence rules – is under consideration by various government departments, including Transport for NSW.
The Baird government is expected to reveal details of the proposal, and its response, before Christmas. The proposal was received several months before the closure on Friday of the first section of George Street in the CBD to allow for construction of light rail lines connecting Circular Quay to Randwick and Kensington in the city's east. Transport chiefs and government ministers have been warning for months that the construction of the tram lines over the

Editorial reviews
In the first scholarly biography of Hadrian (76-138 A.D.) since Bernard Henderson's 1923 work, German historian Birley examines the personal life and cultural and state achievements of the emperor who Hellenized and consolidated the Roman Empire. Drawing on the Historia Agusta and other Latin sources, Birley traces the life of Hadrian, a Roman of senatorial rank and Spanish origin whose career rose with that of his uncle Trajan. Trajan spent much of his time with his legions at the frontier, and Hadrian himself headed several legions. After Trajan became emperor, Hadrian assisted his uncle in the conquest of the

Syracuse is in the national spotlight after the Orange men's basketball team made an improbable run to the Final Four. That means plenty of talking heads will have something to say about the city in the coming days as Syracuse prepares to take on North Carolina on Saturday night.
Brian Jones and Gregg Giannotti of the CBS national radio show "The Gio and Jones Show" had an interesting back and forth on the city of Syracuse on Monday morning.
"You know the thing I don't like about them?" Giannotti said. "They say, 'We're New York's team. We're New York's team.' No you're not. You're not New York's team. You're Upstate New York's team. You're Central New York's team."
"New York City and like Central New York. It's a long way away,"he continued. "It's not really this area. People talk differently there. They look differently there. It's sort of Midwestern. They look differently. They're all pale. They're zombie-esque. They've never see the sun. When the sun comes out they shrivel up. You've never seen whiter people in your life."
Audio from the show
A Syracuse native then called into the show and called the city a septic tank.
"There's nothing to do besides cheer for a horrible football team, watch the curmudgeon Boeheim ... things like apple picking was one of the big events they would talk about," the caller said.
The show's hosts got a good laugh over all of it. Expect plenty more people from outside of Syracuse to chime in with half-baked opinions on the city.

Those who frequent such sporting events as football and baseball games, as well as other sports events, are aware of an activity or pastime that has been enjoying an increasing popularity. This activity usually procedes, or at least commences, before the sporting event and takes the form of a party or social gathering held in the parking lot near or adjacent the sporting field or arena. The activity usually involves groups of spectators who travel together to the sporting event, or meet in the parking lot, to enjoy refreshment and social intercourse prior to commencement of the sporting event. Foodstuffs and liquid refreshment are set out on horizontally displaced tailgates of pickups (hence the appelation "tailgate party") or other horizontal surface for the enjoyment of the group.

The Postmaster of Russell's Point, Ohio, filed a report with the United States Postal Inspection Service indicating that Lively had been receiving numerous mail parcels under various fictitious names at Post Office Box 1175 ("P.O. Box 1175"), Russell's Point, Ohio. Although Lively's common law husband, William Flugga, rented P.O. Box 1175, the Postmaster advised the Postal Inspection Service that Lively also received mail at P.O. Box 1175.

A Postal Inspection Service's investigation revealed that Lively and her sister, Kathy Henson, devised and perpetuated a scheme to defraud mail order companies by having certain items2 either mailed to their respective residences or mailed tofor the merchandise which Lively and her sister had ordered. Lively and her sister both submitted handwriting exemplars to the postal inspector.4 These documents were sent to the postal inspector's crime laboratory for examination and comparison. Laboratory results revealed that Lively had executed 65 of the 73 mail order forms. The total retail value of the merchandise which Lively obtained through these 65 orders was $30,963.54.

On March 18, 1993, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio filed an one count information charging Lively with mail fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1341. On April 2, 1993, Lively appeared before the district court for an arraignment on the information. At her arraignment, Lively waived indictment by a grand jury

The driver then reversed his ute and drove away but the torrent of abuse didn't stop.
"Even while he was driving off he was shouting and cursing, 'Go back to your country, you guys don't belong here!' There was absolutely no doubt that he was referring his hatred to Muslims," said Imam Janud.
The victims, including Imam Janud, believe this was a hate crime. But the next day at a joint press conference with the Islamic Community, the police said otherwise.
"Sadly overnight, police picked up a gentleman for drug driving. He did call out some words at the people who were inside the mosque," said Queensland Police Commissioner Ian Stewart.

Hanan Merheb was one of four Muslim women who were punched in the face near the University of Technology in May 2017.
"The other people who were punched were also wearing the scarf, that kind of connected the dots for me," she says.
She says the attack wasn't the only shocking thing that day. The reaction from bystanders was equally disturbing.
"It was a busy street, a main street, and there was only one girl who stopped to ask if I was OK," she said.
"No-one else stopped to ask if we were okay."

This led to the creation of a secretive department called the Bias Motivated Crimes Unit.
Ms Veiszadeh said in her dealings with the unit she found, "they were under-resourced, unable to tackle the multifaceted issues that we were bringing to them".
In 2017, a Chinese-Australian woman named Lina was punched in the face by a man and told to "get out of [his] country", while waiting at a traffic light in the Sydney suburb of Burwood.
Despite Lina reporting the attack to police, the Bias Motivated Crimes Unit was not informed. They only learned about it a month later through an online article.

Boathouse Row, and close to 50 since the race course on Kelly Drive saw any work on the river bed, Laskow said. In that time, the buildup of silt coming downstream into Fairmount Park has rendered the course unfair across all six racing lanes because of the variation in depth.
Silt buildup is visible in this recent drone shot. (photo by Chris Dantonio Drone Photography)
In front of Boathouse Row, where the river bed fills in more quickly because of the dam near the Philadelphia Art Museum, boat clubs are finding it hard to have enough water to get crews and coaching launches on the water.
The last round of work, done along Boathouse Row in 2000, was paid for with federal funding, but that revenue stream was formally eliminated lastJune after a five-year effort, and the city and the rowing community was informed that the project would have to be funded locally.
Laskow said that the members of the Schuylkill Navy, the organization that governs the boat clubs and organizations that use the river, asked Philadelphia city officials to get involved to help find a solution.
Between the city and Schuylkill Navy, about $3.5 of the necessary money has been raised, but efforts to get contributions from the six colleges that use the river regularly have fallen short.
"When we didn't get the federal funding, we turned to a Plan B, a partnership between the city, the rowing community, and (the six city colleges that use the river) to take the lead for funding."

The movie neither has big names, nor is it a big budget offering, but such is the buzz around the film that buyers are queuing up to grab the rights of the film.
"If rumours are to be believed 'Mastram' is being offered a whopping nine digit figure for its all-India rights," said a source close to the project.
Bohra is also using New Media extensively to promote "Mastram". The film's trailer was among the fastest to garner seven-digit clicks in record time.

of nearly 200 applicants for the eight available positions, was not offered a position as a utility worker.
Blankenship suggested to Smith that her opportunity to secure a position as utility worker might be improved if she obtained technical training. Smith determined not to pursue such training.
On several occasions in 1994, John Roman criticized Smith for her work performance *1068 with respect to particular tasks. Moreover, Roman was openly critical of Smith's attitude, describing her as having "the worst personality of any employee he[] had [had] the pleasure of working with." Smith Dep. at 55.
In the summer and autumn of 1994, Jerry Blankenship and John Roman were replaced by Joe Lake and Jim Nelson. From 1994 until her termination in 1996, Smith's work was supervised by Lake and Nelson.
In1996, Smith again applied for a position as a utility worker. At that time, Ashland required Smith to undergo aptitude testing as a prerequisite for the position. Smith failed to meet minimum requirements on particular portions of the aptitude test and was not hired as a utility worker. Smith contends that she was at least minimally qualified for the position, but she concedes that she does not know what the minimum test scores were or whether individuals with lower scores were hired.
Smith asserts that the environment at Ashland was sexually charged. Specifically, she claims that male employees frequently made sexual jokes and comments.

the impeachment summer, than which no worse First Vacation has ever occurred.
For the first two, the Clintons wallowed in love, but managed to pay zilch for the privilege, camping out in pads borrowed from friends-in 1993 the 15-acre spread with ocean view of Robert S. McNamara, whose own political history was not all that happy, and in 1994 the 20-acre estate of a rich liberal donor, which featured, in the words of Sally Bedell Smith, the Clintons' biographer, "a spacious, nineteenth century shingled house, hammocks, horses, a pet pig, and a guest cottage, where Bill could retreat to work and read." Love the pig, don't you?
There, as Smith says, they mixed with the humble folk of the island, Kay Graham, Beverly Sills, Bill and Rose Styron, Walter Cronkite,various Kennedys, Christopher Reeve, Michael J. Fox, and Glenn Close. "Everywhere else, the Clintons were being judged," one guest told the author, but not on the Vineyard. "It was unconditional love." They came home from this to the '94 wipeout. After they had lost both the House and the Senate, Morris would see this love as having been all too unconditional, wrapping the president in a deceptive cocoon of approval, not shared by the country at large.
When Morris came in to help Clinton recover, keeping the Clintons away from the Vineyard became one of his paramount aims. He said the early vacations had hurt the president politically-"photos of him on a yacht with Jackie Onassis did not help his populist image"-and began planning a series of more homey

more rugged vacations, camping in the Rockies and at Jackson Hole in Wyoming, where he borrowed a ranch from Senator Jay Rockefeller but avoided the jet set and boats. As you recall, Clinton began rising in the polls in those years.
With this in mind, the White House went into a panic when the Clintons were asked to the Vineyard for a celebrity wedding in the fall of 1995, just as the reelection campaign kicked off. "I groaned when I heard," Morris recalled, and he started conniving with Chief of Staff Leon Panetta and others to keep the First Couple away. He and George Stephanopoulos began plotting to limit the Clintons' time on the island; Panetta suggested "it was hurricane season, and maybe the president wouldn't be able tofly." The First Couple did go, but Morris lucked out when a storm arrived, and pushed the event off the front pages. "Coverage of the wedding was all but drowned out by the focus on Hurricane Opal," as Morris gloated. "The storm didn't stop the Clintons from going, but it did force their early return."
And then there was the 1998 Vacation From Hell, just days after Clinton's speech admitting his intern-al affair. It kicked off with the Clintons' walk across the White House lawn to the helicopter, watched by soap opera addicts everywhere, followed by reports of who said what to whom on the flight to the Vineyard, and then reports through the week: Was Bill in or out of the doghouse, and did they look at each

PublishedSaturday, September 08, 2018
American rap star Mac Miller has died at the age of 26.
The American rap star - who previously dated Ariana Grande - was found unconscious at his home in the San Fernando Valley at around midday on Friday, and he was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics, according to TMZ.
Miller - whose real name is Malcolm McCormick - has battled with substance abuse for years, and TMZ says his death was caused by an overdose.
Prior to his death, Miller had been sharing behind-the-scenes videos of his home life on his Instagram account.
In the video clips, the rapper - whose two-year relationship with Ariana ended in May - showed a turntable that played his track 'So It Goes'.
Earlier this week,the Influence.
The American star was found to be twice the legal alcohol limit when he was arrested for drink driving back in May.
Following his arrest, Ariana - who is now engaged to TV star Pete Davidson - tweeted: "Pls take care of yourself. (sic)"

of adult rock by the end of 1995. Longtime listeners were alienated when Jerry Garcia's death on August 9, 1995 was virtually ignored by the station.
In January 1996, the station declined to switch to classic rock when WXRK, also known as "K-Rock" (now WNYL), which had a classic rock format for several years, decided to adopt an alternative rock format. In July 1996, WAXQ adopted a classic rock format. By the beginning of 1997, the station reverted to a classic rock station, becoming the second choice for the format when earlier they could have been first. At this point, many long-time fans felt WNEW-FM had completely lost its focus.
Throughout the 1990s, many of WNEW-FM's DJs defected to classic rock competitors WXRK and later WAXQ, or to smaller butformat from internet radio website last.fm known as "Last FM Discover", which airs on several CBS owned HD side channels including WXRT HD-3 in Chicago. The WNEW rock format is web exclusive at wnew.radio.com.
In November 2012, WWFS-HD2 flipped to an all-Christmas format. The Christmas format continued into January and early February. On February 7, 2013, the all-Christmas format changed to a mainstream Smooth Jazz format under the name "Smooth Jazz 102.7". This was most likely made because when CBS bought WRXP (to become WFAN-FM), which had the Smooth Jazz/Smooth AC format on their HD2 channel ("CD 101.9"), it was taken away as the HD transmitter was turned off on the frequency, which left no Smooth Jazz music to be broadcast anywhere in the New York area prior to

character on "The Family" skits, Mama's hostilities are significantly toned down by the sitcom's first life. Though still cantankerous in the sitcom's first life, Mama's character expanded with wisecracks and humor; pesky antics; unseemliness and naivete. Mama's unseemliness and naivete were exemplified by her inability to drive (episode "Mama Learns to Drive"); inability to act in socially acceptable ways out in public and in the presence of guests (episodes "The Mama Who Came to Dinner", "Country Club" and "Ellen's Boyfriend"); inability to work jobs outside of the home (episodes "Mama Gets a Job", "Supermarket" and "Mama for Mayor"); etc. These characteristics often resulted in the humiliation or frustration of her loved ones.
By the show's second life, Mama was no longer naive (rather, Vinton overwhelmingly assumed this role) andfar more capable of high spirits than ever before. This version of Mama had the least amount of stereotypically elderly traits. Rather conversely, Mama was dutiful in caring for her home, garden and family; independent; and active in the community along with best friend Iola Boylen. For example, Mama returned to high school and graduated (episodes "Educating Mama" and "Pomp and Circumstance"); Mama was heavily involved in the Church Ladies League and at one point, its president (episode "Where There's Smoke"); Mama participated in dirty dancing (episode "Very Dirty Dancing"); Mama went on a trip (episode "Mama Goes Hawaiian"), etc. Highlighting her much more relaxed nature during the syndicated seasons, Mama's main character trait during this time was her many fretful wisecracks typically made in high-pitched, whiny vocal

She is a spinster like Thelma's sister Frannie. Among her quirks, she constantly bestows the family with peculiar handicraft items, predominately wears pink, and calls "knock knock" upon her every entrance. During her first appearances on the show, a running gag existed that saw her having loopy temper tantrums at odd intervals, described as "spells". She lives with her overbearing and aging parents, whom she seeks to escape by spending as much time at Thelma's home as possible. Iola is best friends with Thelma (her only friend). In her first couple of seasons, she was secretly infatuated with Vint; the two had known each other since their youth, which caused her and Naomi to have an adversarial relationship. Iola was color-coded in pink, usually gingham, shirtwaist dresses.[18]
*Note: Thelma'smother was shown on two occasions on the show (once in a flashback and once as a ghost, played both times by Vicki Lawrence), but her name was never revealed. There were at least two Crowley brothers (mentioned in passing in "Double Standard" and "Mama with the Golden Arm"); one was named Clyde ("Pomp and Circumstance"). A cousin named Cora is seen in "There's No Place Like...No Place", and an Uncle Oscar is mentioned in "Mama Gets the Bird", but it is not known if he was from Thelma's side of the family or her husband Carl's. Eunice also mentions having a son named Billy, but Billy's whereabouts is unknown in Mama's Family.

edited out when the show went into syndication but have been restored in the DVDs released by StarVista/Time Life. The character first appeared as Alistair Cookie on The Carol Burnett Show.[24] Played by Harvey Korman.
Grandma Crowley (played by Vicki Lawrence), Thelma's dearly departed mother, who only appeared in flashback sequences or by photo. She had a dismal, forbidding appearance, constantly grimacing and wearing nothing but dark, somber dresses. She first appeared in the first life of the show (episode "Mama's Birthday") as a buxom elderly woman with a surly nature. In this appearance, she spoke to a middle-aged Thelma over the phone. The conversation ended with Grandma Crowley hanging up on Thelma, following Thelma's resentful protests against Grandma Crowley's contemptuous remarks about her husband, Carl. Grandma Crowley's secondappearance was in the show's second life (episode "My Mama, Myself"). In this appearance, Grandma Crowley appeared as a slender ghost, haunting Mama. Taking on a menacing, overbearing, and harassing nature, she spent the entirety of the episode relentlessly criticizing, insulting, and ordering Thelma around. On more than one episode of the show's second life, Thelma alluded to having to possess forbearance in dealing with her mother's harassingly censorious nature growing up. For example, in the episode "Mama Makes Three," Thelma visited a psychiatrist with Vinton and Naomi. During the session, she began ranting and raving about her childhood and her mother, even referring to Grandma Crowley as a "prune-face old harpy." Vinton has also described Grandma Crowley as being "mean" in her treatment of him, Eunice, and

Church Ladies League, also known as CLL. Their motto is: "Gentle Helpers; Kind and Good" and First Lady Alberta Meechum served as the first president. Members include Thelma Harper, Lolly Purdue, Iola Boylen, Roselle Huplander, Inez and Florence. The association was first mentioned in "Where's There's Smoke", when Mama was nominated for president of the Church Ladies League. It was mentioned later in the episodes "Reading the Riot Act", "Ladies Choice" and "Mama's Medicine Show". Their award bears the name "Church Ladies League Woman of the Year."
Altogether, Mama's Family had six seasons consisting of 130 episodes. The show's first life consisted of thirty-five episodes, making for two seasons. The show's second life consisted of ninety-five episodes, making for four seasons.
On September 30, 2013,Vicki Lawrence was asked what her favorite episodes of the series are:
Lawrence answered that between the early seasons, her favorite is the episode "The Wedding (Part 2)." Her reason for favoring this episode is because of the combination of big names featured in it.

Admiring the episode, Lawrence remarked "How much help does one girl get?" and "It's just an amazing supporting cast. Dear God, Carol was funny in that show!"[21]
Lawrence has stated that another favorite of hers from the early seasons is the episode "Rashomama." Lawrence revealed that "Rashomama" is a takeoff of the Japanese film "Rashomon." She explained that the episode is about Mama getting hit with a kettle in the kitchen and

"The Hurt Locker" and "Dallas Buyers Club." Gibson's production company, Icon Pictures, would produce, according to the report. "Apocalypto" writer Farhad Safinia is on board to write the screenplay and direct. Production is set to begin in September, the report said.
Gibson's production company bought the rights to the movie outright, and over the years Winchester has fielded scores of "serious offers from serious filmmakers" hoping to adapt his book for the big screen, he said. He's had to turn them all down because the actor held the film rights and didn't want to give them up.
"In a way I was upset because the movie just wasn't getting made," he said. "There were negotiations to buy it back at one point, but [Gibson] wasn't budging."
A defining tale
Winchester's best-selling book,which was published in 1998, tells the story of the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary.
James Murray, its editor, put out a call across the country for amateur wordsmiths to help him assemble a formal dictionary of the English language. He received thousands of entries from one W.C. Minor, who lived in Crowthorne in Berkshire, England.
After years of inviting the prolific contributor to visit and being refused, Murray finally traveled to Minor's residence, only to find that Minor was the longest serving prisoner at Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic Asylum. He'd been imprisoned there after murdering a brewery worker in a fit of insanity. The two struck up a friendship over their shared love of words.
Gibson is set to pay Murray, and Penn is in negotiations to play Minor.

album would be "experimental": "We've been going very left-field with things. We are trying out new things". On 30 September 2013, the band simultaneously announced their first-ever live album, Live at Jodrell Bank, and the release date of their next studio album as 10 March 2014. Garvey said in an interview with Q that the Manchester band's sixth LP would be called Carry Her Carry Me, after previously having the working title of All at Once.
The group spent two weeks working on the early stages of the album at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios near Bath. Garvey told NME, "It's the least aptly-named studio in the world. Real World? Is it fuck. But when you're there, you get six months work done in two weeks. To go andlive and breathe your record without the distractions of the rest of life, you make creative decisions you would not have made at home."
In January 2014, the band announced that the album's title had changed to The Take Off and Landing of Everything. The album was released on 10 March 2014 and debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, becoming the group's first chart-topper.

and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA). After the EPA put the Fisher-Calo site on the National Priorities List, Akzo performed some cleanup work in a portion of the site that it concedes received waste for which it is responsible. Aigner did (and continues to do) the bulk of the work at Fisher-Calo's premises as a whole. ("Akzo" is shorthand for Akzo and O'Brien, the plaintiffs; "Aigner" stands in for approximately 50 additional firms.) Akzo demanded that Aigner contribute to the cost of cleanup in Akzo's portion of the site; Aigner made the same demand of Akzo. Akzo's principal argument is that its responsibility is limited to a small portion of the site, so that it need not bear any cleanup costs for the rest.

The inexorable urge to extend the frontiers of genetics and biology threatens to impinge on the balance between the well-being of mankind and its detriment. UNESCO, through the Universal Declaration on the Human Genome and Human Rights (1998) and via the International Bioethics Committee, is drafting an international instrument of bioethics based on the principles of human dignity, freedom, autonomy, justice and equity across cultures, values and religions.

Airbnb in Melbourne
The Law
Short Term Rentals are currently operating largely unregulated in residential properties in the city of Melbourne, Victoria.
High profile attempts by Owner Corporations (backed by the City of Melbourne) to restrict short term rentals under the Building Act or Owners Corporation Rules have been unsuccessful, in rulings by the Victorian Building Appeals Board, Supreme Court, Court of Appeal and the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT).
Some owners corporations have been successful in challenging short-stay operators, using their existing building's rules preventing businesses operating in the apartments, and although it's illegal for tenants to sublet (or "Airbnb") their apartments on Airbnb, the practice has been widely reported (here and here).

She also took other measures intended to shield her from cases that might present a conflict of interest. Johnson prepared and delivered to the YLC a list of cases in which she believed she had assumed substantial responsibility as an assistant county attorney. She also prepared a form for use by other YLC attorneys to prompt their vigilance for and identification of any cases handled by Johnson in her former employment. Consistent with Mr. Blase's suggestion, Johnson requested and received a letter in which DHS purportedly waived any conflict of interest arising as a consequence of her former employment and her new position withbeen substantially involved as an assistant county attorney. After hearings on the issue were held in Polk County District Court, Johnson and the YLC's other lawyers were disqualified in numerous cases.[5] The district court found disqualification was required in those cases because case-by-case litigation of the conflict of interest issue would "threaten[] the timely disposition and finality of hundreds of [juvenile] cases in Polk County." Johnson subsequently resigned her employment with the YLC.
The district court reported Johnson's disqualification based on conflict of interest to the Board of Professional Ethics and Conduct. An investigation was undertaken, and the Board notified Johnson on March 18, 2004 that she would be

Dmitry Kulikov
Team: Drummondville Voltigeurs, QMJHL
Position: Defenceman
CS ranking: 11th, skaters
Born: Oct. 29, 1990, Lipetsk, Russia
Height: Six-foot-one
Weight: 183 pounds
2008-09 stats: 57 GP, 12 G, 50 A, 62 Pts
CS's take: "In his first year (in the QMJHL) he's been an all-around good player. He's a great skater; he can carry the puck and shoot the puck well. He's strong too, he can take big hits and they don't seem to bother him. What we saw this year is likely what we are going to see from Kulikov in the future; he's going to play the same way in the NHL. He knows when to join the rush, he plays defence first, but recognizes the holes. He can shoot the puck well on the powerevasiveness with the puck; that separates him from other players on the ice right away. He needs to fill out a little bit yet, but he has the frame to be a big centre. The other part of LeBlanc's game that I noticed was his vision; his ability to see and dissect a play and to make the right play. He's also very competitive and he gets involved in the play."

Height: Six-foot-two
Weight: 185 pounds
2008-09 stats: 68 GP, 28 G, 39 A, 67 Pts
CS's take: "When he is competing, he is very noticeable and effective. He is used both on the power-play and penalty-kill units, and at times he has been used at the point on the power-play. He skates very well, smooth, and he generates good speed. He has a very good shot."

CS's take: "Zach is physically mature in stature, has a good shot in traffic and has a strong ability to dissect the game around him. He's a force, he's hard to move off the puck and he can snap a wrist shot from the blue line. With Zach playing football and the two seasons overlapping, his criticism has been that he hasn't had his skating legs under him, but I've seen Zach since he was 15 years old. I've seen how he has carried the team and made people around him better. He reminds me of Keith Tkachuk or David Backes at the

CS's take: "Button skates and plays the game with so much composure for a young player. His passes and movement around the rink are excellent. He uses his defensive partner well and he's a team player that can buy time and space with his smarts for the game."

CS's take: "He's such an explosive skater. It's pretty obvious he's a target of every opposing team because he's the engine that drives the train. Really, though, he'splays with a lot of drive and energy. He is big and strong and plays a tough and physical game in the corners and along the wall. He finishes his checks with determination. He has good hands, handles the puck well and makes a firm and accurate pass. He creates offence from his hard work and his never giving up on the puck. He battles hard and is tough to play against. He has very good anticipation of the play and puck flow."

Height: Six-foot-two
Weight: 176 pounds
2008-09 stats: 39 GP, 3 G, 14 A, 17 Pts
CS's take: "Oliver likes to play offensively, often carrying the puck into the neutral zone. He has the frame, speed and skill to dominate. He is a smooth skater and can handle the puck at top speed, but needs to use his size to his advantage more. He often quarterbacks the power-play and has a hard shot from the blue-line."

Height: Six-foot-two
Weight: 190 pounds
2008-09 stats: 9 GP, 2 G, 12 A, 14 Pts
CS's take: "Tim Erixon brings to his Swedish Elite League club team, the same kind of elite hockey skills that perhaps his dad, Jan Erixon, did for over 500 games in the NHL. A smart defenceman who can either lead a rush or support the rush from behind, he was on display at the World Junior Championship in helping bring his team to the final game."

Also Tuesday, the NBC News freelancer diagnosed with Ebola while working in Liberia was declared free of the virus. Responding to Spencer's diagnosis Thursday, Ashoka Mukpo tweeted, "Ebola is 'sudden onset.' I was fine all afternoon and then ran a temp at night. I suspect it was the same with the New York case."
Four American aid workers, including three doctors, were infected with Ebola while working in Africa and were transferred to the U.S. for treatment in recent months. All recovered.
One of those aid workers, Ken Brantley, said in anexclusive statement to NBC News that he is praying for Spencer and his family. He added that it appears that New York has handled the case the right way.
"From everything I've read and heard about his circumstances, it sounds like New York has done everything right to contain this case," Brantley said. "I hope the people of New York can likewise set an example for the rest of the country by handling this event with reason and calm instead of panic."
Health care workers are vulnerable because of close contact with patients when they are their sickest and most contagious. In West Africa this year, more than 440 health workers have contracted Ebola and about half have died.

Kate Jastram, senior staff attorney for the Center for Gender and Refugee Studies at the University of California Hastings College of the Law, says that families fleeing violence in Central America began to make up a much larger part of border crossings beginning in 2014.
She says that has more to do with conditions in those countries than any immigration policy implemented by the Trump administration.
"Single men from Mexico were by and large not seeking asylum, they were looking for work," says Jastram. "[Now] we have families and children specifically seeking protection."

While cross-border migrants often make headlines, the largest number of illegal migrants settling in the US each year is those who stay in the country after their visas expire. This has been the case since 2007, official statistics say.

In 2016, there were a total of 739,478 overstays, compared to 563,204 illegal border crossings.
It's also important to note that, according to the Pew Research Center, overall the number of immigrants living in the US illegally has actually declined since 2007, in large part due to a dip in the number of people coming from Mexico. Apprehensions at the south-western border peaked at 1.64 million in 2000.

Government-funded rural health clubs were set up in the 1990s to encourage medical, nursing and allied health students to go into careers in rural health in Australia. The student-run clubs, part of a National Rural Health Network, allowed students to experience rural medicine through trips to rural locations, provided scholarship information and held practical workshops. But while the authors of a review of the National Rural Health Network cited anecdotal evidence to support its success in encouraging careers in rural health, they cited no formal evidence on which to base their conclusion \[[@sfz108-B9]\].
Researchers looked retrospectively at whether participation in a student-run free clinic in Tennessee had any effect on academic achievement and selection of primary care as a specialty. Roughly 20%of the classes of 2008--12 (141 of 689) volunteered time in the clinic. Compared with their classmates who did not volunteer, participants in the free clinic had higher grade point averages and achieved higher scores on the U.S. Medical Licensing Examination Step 1 and Step 2 clinical knowledge. But there was no difference in the selection of primary care as a career choice \[[@sfz108-B10]\]. The authors of this study noted that at their public medical school, roughly half the class usually went into primary care.

out what best suits the needs of the community \[[@sfz108-B15]\]. In the active arm of that trial, barbers encouraged customers to meet with pharmacists, who prescribed antihypertensive medications in conjunction with the individual's doctor. While a pharmacist could certainly participate in the Kidney MAPS, screenings are aimed at identifying individuals at risk, not treatment.
Over time, established community screenings have the potential to reach large numbers of people. The NKF of Illinois, for example, screened \>20 000 people between 2005 and 2011 at mobile community-based screenings \[[@sfz108-B16]\]. At Emory, Kidney MAPS has concentrated its events mostly at churches, estimating that 95--100% of participants at most screenings are African American, and has held screenings with a local black physicians association and a black nurses association. The Kidney MAPS at IU usedwish to thank Jennie Kuo of the KDSAP for her administrative and organizational help; Lisa Bryan, Alison Freitas and Ryan Murray from the ASN staff for their administrative assistance in the earlier stages of the project and members of the ASN Workforce Committee for their ongoing critical review of the project as it took shape.

McGillvary, a.k.a. Kai, was passing through Fresno, Calif., in February when he saw a man attack a utility worker with a car and assault a woman at a gas station. He then hit the man on the back of the head three times with a hatchet to stop the attack, and his interview shortly thereafter became a viral sensation. Videos of him have since been viewed millions of times on YouTube and he appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where Kimmel gave him a surfboard as a present.
So what could have prompted such a dark turn in McGillvary's story? While his official take is unknown, below is a cryptic status update to his Facebook page from Tuesday, the day after Galfy was found dead.

"East West Rail also has the potential to provide an alternative for long-distance rail freight currently using the capital's rail network, as it improves connectivity from some of the UK's major ports and inland markets.
"Given the very real connections between the Heartland and the capital, it is key that moving forward we work collaboratively with the Mayor of London to realise our joint strategic ambitions.

Fantôme became her ninth number one album, her first studio album since Heart Station (2008) to debut at the top position, but also resulted in becoming her lowest first week sales for one of her Japanese-language albums.
In its second week, it stayed at number 1 with 103,854 physical units sold, again outselling the nearest competitor by a wide margin. The next week, it stayed at number one, selling 63,207 units, thus becoming her only studio album besides her debut First Love to chart at the pole position for more than two weeks, and then further extendingJapanese release to enter the US charts, and her first album to obtain a position in the US since This Is The One in 2009; it sold approximately 1,992 units in its first two days of sale. The following week, it reached number one and had sold over 3,500 units.

to
take Nietzsche's proclamation
of the death of God
in stride, and even
to endorse it as a prelude to
a religiousness that does not
involve and revolve around
belief in the existence of God
as any sort of being at all.
Tillich rightly takes
Nietzsche's conception
of the death of God to convey
more than what he calls-- he,
Tillich-- the atheistic
or naturalistic criticism
of the theistic idea of God.
He grants that Nietzsche
does accept that criticism.
He sees nature as having further
meant that, as Tillich writes,
"God is dead as far as
man's consciousness of him
is concerned."
Or as he also puts
it, that, "in man,
the consciousness
of an ultimate,
in the traditional
sense, has died."
"And further, Nietzsche also
meant," quoting Tillich again,
"that when the traditional
idea of God falls,
something else must
fall along with it,
namely the system
of ethical values
on which such
society is based that
is associated with that belief."
But the crux ofexistence of a being
alongside others or above
others," he writes.
"The being of God is 'being
itself.'" But what is
'being itself' if it is neither
the existence of a being nor
the existence of the
totality of all beings?
Tillich offers a hint when he
goes on to give a kind of gloss
on this notion.
He writes, "Many confusions
in the doctrine of God
could be avoided if
God were understood,
first of all, as 'being itself'
or as the ground of being."
But what is "the
ground of being"
if it is not itself a
being of a special sort,
as the God who supposedly
created the world is usually
conceived to be.
Tillich offers the
following answer
to this question, "The
power of being," he writes,
"is another way of
expressing the same thing
in a circumscribing phrase.
In other words," he continues,
"God conceived as the ground
of being," quoting again,
"is the 'power of being' in
everything

These consolidated cases arise out of the 1973 crash of a Lear Jet shortly after takeoff from the DeKalb-Peachtree Airport.

Background
==========
Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common acute viral illness that primarily affects infants and young children, and often occurs in clusters or outbreaks. It is characterized by rapid onset of fever and sore throat, accompanied by vesicles and ulcers on the gums, tongue, buccal mucosa and palate. Punctate and usually transient skin lesions appear on the palms, soles and occasionally on the buttocks, knees or other areas. While the fever and rash may subside rapidly, the mouth lesions may last more than a week, and virus may continue to be shed for several weeks \[[@B1]\]. In temperate countries HFMD occurs during the summer but in the tropics HFMD can occur at any time during the year.
The major causative agents of HFMD are coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16),and Sibu in the state of Sarawak actively participated in this study from March 1998. In 2000 we included a fourth specialist clinic in Sibu. Two government polyclinics in Kuching and Sibu also participated as sentinel clinics. All children presenting to the sentinel clinics with a history of oral or other skin lesions typical of HFMD were enrolled into the surveillance study, and throat and rectal swabs were obtained from each child enrolled in the first 18 months. Where possible, swabs were also obtained from mouth ulcers, vesicles and other skin lesions. After a preliminary analysis of data from the first 18 months, the protocol was modified to require only throat swabs from sentinel clinics. Rectal swabs were optional and doctors were requested to provide vesicle swabs whenever

Pretty girls were often forcibly taken as wives or concubines. It happened to two of her friends, and they killed themselves.
Becoming a zishunü gave women an unusual degree of independence in a world that allowed them little education, voice or freedom. But it came at a heavy price. They toiled in factories or other people's homes to support their families. Women who broke their pledge of celibacy were supposed to kill themselves, though by Liang's era, such expectations had largely disappeared.
The words recited with the eight strokes of the comb hint at the uneven path ahead: "First comb for luck, second for longevity, third for contentment, fourth for safety. Fifth for freedom …"
Shatou village, Shunde, was once a centre of this practice. Down an alleyway, tuckedbehind the high modern white-tiled homes, lies a two-storey grey building with an elegant courtyard before it. In front of its gate, mulberry trees sprawl inside a red-brick wall.

Whether Watson could keep the medal, the highest individual honour in the AFL, had been one of the only unresolved matters associated with the four-year saga. In a statement Watson issued on Friday afternoon he said he had experienced mixed emotions as he decided to hand back the medal to the AFL. "The basic principle behind this prestigious award is to honour the best and fairest," he said. "If there is a question in peoples [sic] minds as to whether the 2012 award is tainted, the fairest and best thing to do is to give it back and honour the history that has gone before me." Watson said football had always been a part of his life and he had benefited from being part of a community whereNeither player has said publicly whether they wanted to receive a medal and when approached on Friday afternoon, a Richmond spokeswoman said Cotchin would wait until the commission made a decision before talking about it.
Mitchell was fronting a media conference with his new club West Coast as the news broke that Watson would hand back the medal. Eagles coach Adam Simpson said: "We've got potentially the next Brownlow medallist here," but Mitchell would not talk about the matter. AFL chief executive officer Gillon McLachlan acknowledged Watson's decision was "extremely difficult". "In Jobe's own words, he is honouring the history of the medal and putting the interests of the game first, and this is an honourable position for him to have taken," McLachlan said.

Blues fans will love the way he plays the entire ice. I am expecting a big year out of O’Reilly and I think most Blues fans are too.
Grade: A
Robby Fabbri
The Blues were able to reach a one-year deal with Fabbri for hardly anything. Fabbri, only 22, is coming off back-to-back season-ending knee surgeries, but as most Blues fans saw before the injuries, this young gun has superstar talent written all over him. His speed and puck-handling skills should fit in nicely with this team and could play on almost any line for the Blues.M. Emmet Walsh

Ukrainian media, stated that the lifting of the blockade would be a "big breakthrough".
One can only guess what Ukraine would get in return.
Before the meeting in Minsk, a lot was said in Kyiv about the release of over 100 Ukrainian prisoners of war held in Donetsk and Luhansk. The release was also discussed of Ukrainian seamen who had been held in Russian custody for months after their unsuccessful attempt to cross the Kerch Strait.
"Holding out his hand, the new President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, risks not getting anything in return. Besides, during his inauguration he declared that he was ready to 'risk his position,' just to end the war in Donbass," Rzeczpospolita writes.

The decision to break traderelations with the self-proclaimed "Donetsk and Luhansk republics" was taken when Russian militants "nationalized" enterprises in the area and took over Ukraine's property, also making the Russian ruble the only obligatory currency in Donetsk and Luhansk. Interestingly, the blockade was introduced only after three years of war and after numerous protests by civil activists on the front line, who would block, among others, outbound freight trains carrying coal.
"Once the blockade is lifted, trains and trucks would once again start going both ways. The problem is that in the light of Ukrainian law, the leaders of these pseudorepublics are terrorists. Therefore there is a total ban on any economic cooperation with them. Besides, how can you trade with people with whom the war is being waged?" Mykhailo Pashkov, an

Territorial disputes between gangs were frequent and collateral high. Girls were often used as pawns and rape was seen as a means to "humiliate" rivals.
However, and as with many features of the Bills, their relationship with the other sex was far from clear cut. Some women were in fact Bills in their own right, "drawn peripherally into gangs as girlfriends [or] served as decoys and lookout, and acted as spies," Gondola explains. Going under masculine names they "behaved just like the boys [and] fought like the boys... and adhered to the masculine ethos of the band."

For all their infamy, these gangs self-styled after cowboys occupy a unique place in Congo's history. Between January 4-6, 1959, riots broke out across the capital at a rally calling for independence. At the forefront were the Bills. "They took that spirit of insurrection and spread it all over the townships," says Gondola. "[In Kinshasa] they destroyed all the symbols of Belgian colonialization and nobility." After sustained pressure on the streets the Belgian government announced a volte face, and on June 30, 1960 Congo became an independent republic.

Abstract
Western welfare states have not all followed the same path in their social policy development. Still, certain similarities have been identified in the types and combinations of social insurance supported by specific groupings of these states. Titmuss (1974) described "three contrasting models or functions of social policy." Heclo (1985) argued "three broad groups of nations can be distinguished” with different models of social welfare policy. Esping-Andersen (1990) identified "three worlds of welfare capitalism," each with a unique social policy agenda and distinctive social insurance system. Education is typically not included with other social programs in depicting the policy profiles of welfare states. I argue it should becauseStory highlights
The act holds the record for sparking the longest filibuster in the history of the U.S. Senate
This story was originally published April 10.
(CNN)The Civil Rights Act of 1964 -- hailed by some as the most important legislation in American history -- was signed into law 50 years ago Wednesday.
It was known as the "bill of the century." But many Americans today probably couldn't say exactly what the legislation accomplished.
"It's really the law that created modern America," said Todd S. Purdum, author of "An Idea Whose Time Has Come." "Its goal was to help finish the work of the Civil War, 100 years after the war had ended, and to make the promise of legal equality for blacks and whites, even though actual equality is elusive to this
