Ottoman Empire (being focused in Russia and English and French colonies). And relationships with Germany were good due to economical and military interchanges.
In Autumn 1914, the Germans had severely beaten the Russians at Masurian Lakes and Tannenberg, and occupied a significant portion of the most industrialized regions of France. The "this war will be over by Christmas" motto was still believed and German victory seemed to be, if not imminent, very probable.
And, to be fair, the Ottoman Empire did not did that bad itself. While some of them were helped by the overconfidence of Entente officers and politicians, the Ottoman did inflict some severe defeats to their enemies (Gallipoli, Kut). It did lose some ground to the Russian and British armies, but kept fighting and resisting almost untilvictor." If you pick a side and it wins, you will share in the spoils. If your side loses, "you become companions of a defeated fortune that may rise again." More to the point, Turkey was strategically placed, being able to offer or deny access to Russia via the Dardanelles, and that was all the "weapon" she needed.
When war broke out, with the British and the Russians on the same side, Turkey was torn between her historical friendliness toward Britain and her traditional hatred toward Russia. It was basically neutral toward Germany, and had a distrust of the Austrians and the Italians. But Italy dishonored its alliance with Germany (and later joined the British side), and Austria was fighting the Russians, and sometimes "the enemy of my enemy

The Occupy Movement's Urban Struggle
While Irvine's is City Council-approved, Santa Ana's encounters resistance
On a Friday night in downtown Santa Ana, while hipsters start a weekend of debauchery, a group of about 25 Occupy Santa Ana activists huddles under the Marine A-4 Skyhawk jet mounted at the county Civic Center just a couple of blocks north. The air is dank and chilly following afternoon showers; attendees shift constantly, trying to keep warm.
They've gathered to discuss an upcoming appearance before Santa Ana's City Council; they'll make a case for pitching tents on the Civic Center's Walk of Honor, a concrete-and-brick promenade on which the homeless have encamped for years. They spend nearly two hours trying to hammer out the verbiage to be used in front of the council. Some questionwhether the word "tents" or "camping" should be voiced specifically. Some fear the direct reference to tents will stoke council fears, remembering that in 1993, Santa Ana enacted a ban on camping within the center (which is technically county property) and the city in an attempt to crack down on the homeless.
Sam Aresheh, a 23-year-old Cal State Fullerton student, was one of four people arrested at an Oct. 22 protest after the group set up tents on the Walk of Honor in an act of civil disobedience. He finds fears of couching requests for the council humorous. "They're the sugar-coater masters," he says. "For them to want us to be direct . . . They always talk about the gentrification of Santa Ana as 'revitalization.'" He suggests asking

participating in marches and rallies. Other examples of the movement's growth include close to 30 tents; gasoline generators to power lights, microphones and amplifiers; and general assemblies live-streamed every night on the web. The kitchen area is housed in a Coleman Hampton nine-person tent outfitted with tables and shelves groaning with water jugs, Clif Bars, bread, peanut butter, packaged soup and assorted snacks. City approval of the tent city has seen fire and health inspectors visiting to ensure the operation is run with safety in mind.
Occupy Irvine logistics facilitator D'Marie Mulattieri saw this offshoot grow after she started a Facebook page. The unemployed executive assistant sports raven-black hair and a broad smile and can be seen running around the camp every night, navigating the spaces between tents infraction of the resources in Irvine, activists in Santa Ana demonstrate continued resilience. Since late October, group members have spent nights in the Civic Center, despite the city's ban on camping, forgoing tents so as to avoid incurring the ire of police. Members slumber in sleeping bags while propped against concrete planters. All funds used by members for food, water and other supplies come mostly from their own pockets.
"That's the difference between us and Irvine," says 27-year-old Joese Hernandez. "People [there] have a lot more to give."
Financial concerns aside, Occupy Santa Ana now contends with the fact the council denied the group's request for a long-term occupation at the recent meeting. Citing legal concerns of equal application of the law, the council said the city would be opening

Another notable building in the style is the Villa Fallet La Chaux-de-Fonds, a chalet designed and built in 1905 by a student of L'Epplattenier, the eighteen-year-old Charles-Édouard Jeanneret (1887–1965) who later became better known as Le Corbusier, The form of the house was a traditional Swiss chalet, but the decoration of the facade included triangular trees and other natural features. Jeanneret built two more chalets in the area, including the Villa Stotzer, in a more traditional chalet style.

"Low Winter Sun," which begins Sunday on AMC, remakes a 2006 British series of the same name and with the same starring actor, Mark Strong, as in the Edinburgh-set original. He has left that accent at home and picked up a new one for the duration.
Adapted by Chris Mundy ("Criminal Minds," "Cold Case"), it's a story of cops and criminals now set in the city-on-the-way-up-on-the-way-down that is Detroit. Strong plays Det.

Ed Helms
Ed Helms goes postal this fall as a special guest star in Brooklyn Nine-Nine's second season. The Office vet will play an agent working for the United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) whom Det. Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) struggles with in order to work a case.
As of now, Helms is only slated to appear in the Fox's comedy's seventh episode, airing on Nov. 16, "but anybody who enters this world can come back," says co-creator and executive producer Dan Goor. "[Co-creator and executive producer] Mike Schur and I know Ed from The Office and The Daily Show, so he'll be great and hopefully he'll have fun and be back."
Helms joins the growing list of Season 2 guest stars, including Kyra Sedgwick, Eva Longoria, Terrell Owens and JennyHollande-Merkel agree on financial transaction tax
Supporters of a financial transaction tax have a strong ally in the new French president, Francois Hollande, who wants to recycle the revenue raised from the so-called Tobin tax into growth-enhancing investment projects. On this, if little else, he may have the backing of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, but not of British Prime Minister David Cameron, who believes the City of London would be damaged by the proposed levy.
Opponents of the FTT say it would raise the cost of doing business and would hinder rather than stimulate growth. It would cost more for firms to do currency deals and so make exports dearer, and it would push up interest rates, leading to lower investment. A lower level of transactions would mean that the

Vermont spent over $14 million last year to lock up their citizens in for-profit prisons like Lee Adjustment Center, located in Kentucky's Daniel Boone National Forest. Private prisons like Correctional Corporation of America (CCA)'s Lee Adjustment Center offer no mental health, educational or rehabilitational services, but they do post massive corporate profits; CCA posted $1.7 billion in 2011 revenue alone.
As best-selling author Michelle Alexander notes in her seminal book The New Jim Crow, more black men are under correctional control now than were enslaved in 1850. A recent New Yorker piece noted more Americans are now incarcerated than there were imprisoned in Stalin's gulags. Clearly a dialogue about mass incarceration, budget crises and privatization is unfolding. A group of Vermonters working out of church basements and living roomsis attempting to build a movement to push this conversation forward by passing a historic law banning Vermont's use of for-profit prisons.
Behind the Profitable Private Prison Wall
Between 2002 and 2003, according to the Rutland Herald, the number of prisoners in Vermont increased at "nearly five times the national average." The number of teenagers and young adults in Vermont jails surged by more than 77 percent. A racialized "get tough on crime" ideology, mandatory minimums and harsher sentencing guidelines from the failed war on drugs left then-Republican Vermont Governor Jim Douglas at a moment of departure: build new prisons, or start shipping Vermonters incarcerated under these controversial policies into the deep south to be warehoused without even the "rehabilitative" programs found in Vermont prisons.

A 59-year-old woman was killed by a driver who mounted a sidewalk in Scarborough on Friday.
Toronto police say the Nissan SUV was travelling westbound on Ellesmere Road toward Birchmount Road shortly before 6:49 a.m.
A TTC bus was stopped on the road just before the intersection, and two pedestrians were on the sidewalk near the bus.
Police cordoned off the crash site to investigate what may have caused the vehicle to jump the curb. (CBC)
"And for some unknown reason [the vehicle] mounted the curb and struck the two pedestrians that were on the curb," said Sgt. Alex Crews.
One of the pedestrians was pronounced dead at the scene after emergency crews arrived. The other, a 32-year-old man, was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the car remained at thethe basket to grip the basket with some fingers (for example, the thumb and the index finger or the thumb, the index finger, and the middle finger) and to rotate the handle fixed to the support bracket through the net of the basket with some fingers (i.e., the middle finger or the ring finger). At this time, the basket is released from the support bracket. As a result, the basket is moved downward due to its weight, and the support bracket, which is mounted at the rail, is moved upward. Consequently, the height of the basket is raised.

Then some suggest many young Japanese people prefer "virtual" friends with a robot or on the internet, while others suggest their fascination with comics rather than relationships is the cause for a lack of babies.
A study was released earlier this year in which it showed Japan's young people are shunning the idea of marriage and having children.
The National Institute of Population and Social Security Research study also showed one in four unmarried men and women in their 30s had never had sex, and most young women preferred being single.
It also showed over 60 percent of unmarried young men didn't have a girlfriend, and nearly 50 percent of women of the same age weren't dating.
If that wasn't bad enough, young Japanese people are also, it seems, increasinglynot interested in sex.
A survey by the Japan Family Planning Association found that 36 percent of males between 16 and 19 had "no interest" in sex.
Japan's falling birth rate could seem to be an interesting fact but of little consequence to a country like the United States, yet it could have a huge impact on how Japan interacts with the outside world in the future, even affecting how it supports international obligations and alliances.
"Japan will be more likely to prioritize healthcare than international security," Brad Glosserman and Tomoko Tsunada wrote in Foreign Policy Magazine. "Older societies are typically more risk-averse, and Japanese -- 'reluctant realists' at the best of times -- will be increasingly unwilling to put their most precious resource, their young, in harm's way," they said.

He suggested, “Trump’s foreign policy team must invite King Hamad to the White House for a working visit with the president in getting a sense of the geopolitical challenges facing the broader Middle East and a better understanding of what ails the Middle East from him. Importantly, a Trump-Hamad meeting would send a positive message to those anxious about Trump’s feelings toward Islam in general and the Muslim world.”
Such reflection resonates here in Malaysia as our country is part of the global progressive Muslim society. A consolidation in the Malaysia-Bahrain ties would, hopefully, mirror a more optimistic outlook on the global perception of Islam.

On the second day of filming, Johnson left the Site wearing the jewelry and was robbed at gunpoint, resulting in the loss of the jewelry. Plaintiff subsequently brought suit against Johnson and the following entities involved in the video production: LOUD Records, LLC ("LOUD"), the record company that owned the video production pursuant to a contract with Mars Media, Inc. ("Mars Media"), a video production company that LOUD hired to produce the video; and XL Specialty Insurance Company ("XL"), the insurance company that Mars Media hired for the production.

But when they managed to film the latest crime, they discovered a surprising culprit: one of the shelter's cats, who had been stealing and stashing the cash for weeks.
Managers at the Swinoujscie, Poland, shelter set a trap for their thief, aiming a camera at a pile of banknotes left on a desk. But it wasn't a member of the staff who showed up on the video; it was Clement, a two-year-old pedigree Burmese.

returned the verdict, the plaintiffs filed a motion regarding calculation of interest on the verdict. In their motion, the plaintiffs requested the court to award them interest at the rate of 10% a year under St. 1981, c. 800, § 3, from the date of the taking to the entry of judgment. After a hearing, the judge denied the plaintiffs' motion. He ordered that interest be awarded at the rate of 6% a year from the date of the taking until the effective date of the 1981 amendment, April 13, 1982, and at 10% a year thereafter. The plaintiffs appealed the judge's order.[4] We transferred the appeal from the Appeals Court to this court on our own motion.
The plaintiffs make two arguments on appeal. First, they contend that,reliance by the financial community on this report. The report presents average interest rates for the years 1973 to 1982 for United States government securities varying in maturity from three months to 30 years, for one year Treasury bills and prime certificates of deposit, and for various short term instruments including Treasury bills, agencies, and private money market instruments. A sample of some of these rates is set out in the margin.[8] According to the plaintiffs' *641 evidence, for almost every category of instrument, for almost every year from 1973 to 1982, the rate of return exceeded 6% a year. From the late 1970's to the early 1980's, interest rates ranged in the double digits. The Legislature is presumed to have been aware of these general economic conditions.[9]

NEW DELHI: As the suspense over Congress president Rahul Gandhi 's intent to leave the top post deepens, indications are that if he does not eventually relent, the party would have to put together an alternative mechanism for decision-making without the Gandhi scion.The view emerging in the party is that Congress may have to name a senior leader as its "interim president" who would preside over a collegium of leaders for collective decision-making.Sources said Congress veteran AK Antony is likely to meet the party chief as part of discussions over resolving the stalemate that has prevailed since the poll results gave them 52 seats . "There has been no progress yet," a senior leader said about efforts to persuade Rahul Gandhi to rethink his decision .While the situationwill change if he does come around and there will be no need to take recourse to other measures, party leaders feel some thinking is called for in the meanwhile. Sources said that a final decision is likely to emerge in the coming days. Foremost, the party will decide by next week on who would head Congress in the Lok Sabha.While the possibility of electing "working presidents" and a collegium has been speculated in the aftermath of the CWC meeting where Rahul announced his decision to step down, the talk appears more plausible in the wake of the Congress chief 's continuing insistence on leaving the presidency.There is pressure on Rahul Gandhi to take the post of Congress leader in the Lower House.

We learn that Genesis wasn't written by Moses (shock, horror!) but first surfaced in the wake of Israel's return from exile in the eighth century BCE. We sit in on a mock Sabbath celebration with Howard Jacobson's orthodox relatives for whom the creation account is far beyond the slings and arrows of outrageous reason, and sit through an interview with a English creationist pastor who claims science is on his side.
Jacobson is buying none of the literalism, but neither is he giving ground to the rationalism of thinkers like Richard Dawkins. The first chapters of Genesis have engendered beautiful literature and music. They are to be appreciated, like Shakespeare, on the level of poetry and the power of myth.
I'd agree. In fact I do agree. But. But isn'tcompletely unrelated to the author's (or redactor's) intentions, that's perfectly okay, the historical-critical approach is so yesterday, blather, blather, blather. Back to Otto:
"A generation of journalists with a postmodern education decided that 'objective' reporting was simply getting varying views of the story, but not taking a position on which represented reality... This [gave] undue exposure to extreme views - a situation that has been compounded by the elimination of most science and investigative reporters from cash-strapped newsrooms."
Creationism has no more legitimate place debating science in the fields of biology and anthropology than any of the origin myths of indigenous cultures. The uninformed, undereducated, lazily anti-intellectual 'pastor' of a 'Bible Church' has no more credibility is expounding scripture than an enthusiastic plumber who has been reading too many copies

Report: Detroit Lions' Jeff Backus best LT in NFC North
ALLEN PARK - At the end of every regular season, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Bob McGinn - one of the best beat writers in the country - breaks down the NFC North. Here are some snippets from his well-researched report:
"Last week, executives in personnel from each of the four NFC North Division teams were asked by the Journal Sentinel's Bob McGinn to rank the top three players in the division at each position. They were not permitted to vote for their own players, and none of the comments that follow was made by a scout about a player on his own team. A first-place vote was worth three points, a second was worth two points and a third wasworth one point. Asterisks denote unanimous selections."
Comments: Backus, who tied with Clifton and McKinnie in '09, won his first outright title since '02 when Clifton was injured. "Backus played pretty good this year," one scout said. "It surprised me." Clifton has had six firsts plus seconds in two of the past three years. "He's the same to me," another scout said. "Just a steady player. Kind of like Backus. The thing that everyone forgets, this NFC North this year played the NFC East and the AFC East. Every week it was a good pass rusher. For our (tackles) to hold up is a credit to them."
EXECUTIVE OF THE YEAR: Jerry Angelo (Chi, general manager) and Martin Mayhew (Det, general manager), 2. Angelo also won in 2001, '05 and

religions and people in the world, besides Christians, that share a belief in the same God."
Ms Landry said since early European occupation, Australia's population has been of a mix of cultures as far back as the gold rush days.
"No matter where you are from, everyone's culture and religion deserves to be respected and acknowledged," she said.
"But at a national level we don't need to be embarrassed because our modern laws, Parliamentary procedures and legislation have underlying Christian tones.
"What will the Greens want next. To ban Christmas and to downgrade Easter as simply the 'April' long weekend?
"Every nation has a mix of modern and ancient history. These Christian-based traditions have been part of Australian's modern history since at least Federation."
Mrs Landry said: "If people are happy to take therealises to set the past 50 African years in a continuum. In the 15th century, Africa did not have the wheel. In a relatively short period of a few hundred years, Europeans colonised it, took its slaves, scrambled to own it and scrambled to get out. Now, 48 years after Ghana set the independence example on 6 March 1957, we expect the continent to have embraced ideas of democracy and good governance that took us thousands of years (and millions of European lives) to work out.

core sociological concepts that reflects the social and economic realities Wylie | Standpoint Matters P-APA Presidential Address 2012 4 navigated by black women; she articulated a resolutely intersectional genre of standpoint theory. Perhaps most influential in philosophical contexts is Carol Gilligan's critique of Lawrence Kohlberg's psychological models of moral maturation, a key source of inspiration for the articulation of an ethics of care.14 Her point of departure was concern that Kohlberg's system was based exclusively on interviews with boys, obscuring a distinctively contextual and relational mode of reasoning about moral problems that, while not exclusively associated with girls, did surface more prominently in their responses (1987). But more broadly, she questioned Kohlberg's assumption that there must be a single, universal trajectory of moral development, a conviction that ledattend to the fortunes of women. It was anything but a period of cultural rebirth for women, indeed, she argues, there was "no 'renaissance' for women, at least not during the Renaissance; there was, on the contrary, a marked restriction of the scope and powers of women" (1976, 811). Moreover, she argues that this was a direct consequence "of the very developments for which this age is noted," and reflects "a fairly regular pattern of relative loss for women precisely in those periods of so-called progressive change" (1976, 810). As Kelly-Gadol develops this critique, it is not just a brief for reexamining the specifics of the period we conventionally refer to as the Renaissance, but for a thorough-going reassessment of the periodization scheme in terms of which European

'A little piece of Canada in Panama': A Montreal deli brings a taste of the city to the tropics
When Sara Solomon moved her family to Panama in 2008, she felt something was missing from her adopted home country.
"When we originally came here, we didn't have any intention of opening a restaurant," said Solomon. "[But] after six months of living here, we were craving smoked meat and poutine."
That craving eventually led her to open Solomon's Montreal Deli in Panama City's upscale Paitilla neighbourhood, which is known for its high-rise towers and a thriving Jewish community.
"We really felt that if we craved it, then other people were craving it as well," said Solomon, who despite her love of Montreal food is originally from Toronto.
Solomon partnered with a local cheese manufacturerPeople of Nowhere, Bihari in Bangladesh
Statelessness
Biharis is the term given to a group of non-Bengali Urdu speaking residents and citizens of former East Pakistan, most of whom originated from the Indian state of Bihar. Today, many Biharis live in Pakistan and India in addition to Bangladesh, where about 250,000 remain in urban refugee camps in Dhaka, Bogra, Khulna, Mymensingh and Chittagong. The camps have become slums, densely populated and with inadequate access to health, sanitation, water and education. Until recently all Biharis in Bangladesh were considered stateless and having no access to citizenship and identification documents. In 2008, the Dhaka High Court approved citizenship and voting rights for about 150,000 refugees who were minors at the time of Bangladesh's 1971 war of independence. This has has improved access

Popular Culture Images--The Long Road, Allegories of Life's Stages
JF Ptak Science Books LLC Post 969
This remarkable woodcut appears in Epictetus' Enchiridion (1563), and is one in a long history of images portraying the moral life of humanity. The longitudinal study of birth, corruption, vice, penance, achievement, want, lewdness, cowardice, sloth, and a penetrating multiple visits of the seven deadlies was intended to show the rough rode that lay ahead of us all on the way to the crowning glory.
The full image appears below, with details following:
This is a detail from the lower right, showing the beginning of life, an abundance of babies, with the foot of Fortuna seen at upper left, she observing (or not) the toddlers' advances along the walls of life.
The achievements of middlelife are clearly seen:
As are the temptations of immoral life and the sins that await:
Unfortunate sinners turned away at the foot of Fortuna:
And at the end of the journey, following the three concentric walls leading to finality:
This image looks a little suspect, but when you look at other woodcuts of the Tubula you can see this action a little more clearly (and from the side)--and what they reveal is Mother Church rewarding the supplicant with a crown. This is more clearly seen below, in the 1551 versin of teh morality play by Johann Kramer (and published in Munchen);
The interpretations of these images areas varied as each of their characters, the details of which can be explained one way one day, and another the next; the morals and the

Peoria Police Department's Armadillo gets rave reviews

Whether it's in his role as a landlord, as a property manager or as a West Bluff resident, Dale Hanssen's feelings about the Peoria Police Department's Armadillo vehicle are the same: amused and grateful.
Whether it's in his role as a landlord, as a property manager or as a West Bluff resident, Dale Hanssen's feelings about the Peoria Police Department's Armadillo vehicle are the same: amused and grateful.
The department's nuisance property surveillance vehicle, known as the Armadillo because of its hardened, reinforced exterior, has been deployed to trouble residences since July 2008.
Hanssen has watched the Armadillo calm down a hot spot at one of his rental properties and also at an OrchardDistrict property near his home on Flora Avenue.
"I think there's a psychological impact of (law breakers) realizing all the problems they are causing are being noticed by a lot of people," Hanssen said. "You drive by and it's so blatantly obvious why it's parked there. It says 'nuisance vehicle' right on the side. It kind of makes you smile."
Peorians aren't the only ones who have noticed the converted Brinks truck, believed to be the only police vehicle of its kind.
The Peoria Police Department is one of 25 worldwide semifinalists for the 2009 Webber Seavey Award, presented by the International Association of Chiefs of Police. The 10 finalists will be announced Wednesday.
For Peoria Police Chief Steven Settingsgaard, this is only the beginning. As soon as the department can get

lawsuit was dropped last December after a judge ordered that Loeb disclose the identities of two former girlfriends who had abortions. According to his latest court papers, he withdrew the litigation to protect his former girlfriends' personal privacy.
Then came a new legal approach by Loeb that garnered international attention. In Louisiana, he established trusts for the two pre-embryos — apparently female ones named “Emma” and “Isabella” — and the trustee then sued the Modern Family star in a "right-to-life" lawsuit.
Vergara's reaction to this gambit was to file her own lawsuit against Loeb in California court. She's seeking declaratory and injunctive relief as well as alleging her former boyfriend breached contract, committed promissory fraud and is pursuing malicious prosecution.

human shields. Intelligence reports indicated the dead included Imad Abu Askar and Hasan Abu Askar, "two known Hamas mortar crewmen," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement. Two neighborhood residents who spoke on condition of anonymity because they feared for their safety, confirmed the Israeli account, telling the Associated Press that a group of militants fired mortar rounds from a street near the school, then fled into a crowd of people in the streets.
But such justification might not be enough to silence the growing chorus of international disapproval as civilian deaths rise.
Dr. Bassam Abu Warda, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, told reporters that 36 people were killed in the strike on the school. The United Nations confirmed that 30 were killed and 55 injured by tank shells.
At leastsaid Steinberg. "If organizations like Amnesty (International) and Human Rights Watch give this issue much greater visibility as they have in the past, the pressure on Israel will build and it will have some impact, but if it's strictly Palestinian claims it won't have much effect."
But international pressure is mounting.

A cease-fire initiative won support from Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice called on rival sides to follow up.
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said Tuesday the initiative seeks an immediate cease-fire by Israel and Palestinian factions for a specific period to allow secure corridors for delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza and to give Egypt time to continue efforts to reach a permanent cease-fire.

There has been sudden and steep hike in onion, tomato prices. When I was in Delhi, the Congress procured these commodities and availed it to the people at affordable prices."Lambasting the BJP government for dilly-dallying on the Metro train project in the state, she said, "When I visited Gujarat 12 years ago, I had heard about the Metro project which was announced some years ago with muchas is being projected by some. Wait and watch, the full and entire results have not yet come out and until then we will just wait. It is also wrong that Congress has lost major elections after 2014."To questions about apprehensions over the Electronic Voting Machines (EVM), the former Chief Minister said, "Lots of people have raised their doubts about the EVMs. Now it is the onus of the Election Commission of India (ECI) to win the trust of the people, which has recently faltered."

Plaintiff Rose Francis, an employee of defendants Elmsford School District (the "District") and Board of Education Elmsford School District (the "Board"), appeals from so much of a judgment of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Harold Baer, Jr., Judge, as dismissed her complaint alleging that those defendants discriminated against her in theAcademic Intervention Service program ("AIS"), a remedial program that provides additional help for students who have scored low on state tests. When Francis asked the reason for her transfer to AIS, she was told that it was because she was ineffective as a classroom teacher. When Francis began at AIS in September 2002, she was assigned to teach in a hallway; although she complained that it was an unsuitable location for teaching, she was not resituated.

On February 5, 2003, Francis filed with the New York State Division of Human Rights ("SDHR") a complaint against the District ("SDHR complaint") alleging that by, inter alia, reassigning her "out of the classroom and into a hallway" (SDHR complaint ¶ 3) and replacing her with a younger teacher (see id. ¶ 4),

you must regulate the water flow to the hydraulic organ (in the direction of the 'door of the nose') by pulling the lever on the first control panel twice.
Now go to the other pool, next to the working telescope.
Some of the ideograms on the first control panel at the other pool (next to the working telescope) have been smudged and are illegible. To comply with Scurvy's instructions only the fourth button in the third line and the second one in the last line can have water ideograms. Knowing this, press the following buttons:
L = LINE and C = COLUMN
L1:C1
L2:C3
L3:C4
L4:C2
Again you first regulate the water flow towards the second control panel, in this case to the right. On the skull diagram the number '1' is associated with this controlpanel, so only press the top left button to lift one round disc.
Don't forget to regulate the water flow towards the 'door of the nose' (to the hydraulic organ) to complete the process.
Return to the room up the stairs next to the organ and adjust the water control valve to the vertical position to open the water supply. The hydraulic organ should now be fully functional.
Note that the skull diagram has opened, revealing a supply of sodium chloride.

free trade zone, luring investment and jobs.
"He (Trump) wants to build walls, and the bilateral relationship requires that we build bridges," Montemayor said in his air-conditioned office, surrounded by hunting trophies.
Nonetheless, some fear Clinton, who was first lady when her husband Bill signed NAFTA in 1993, may have absorbed some of the anti-trade views espoused by Trump and her Democratic primary campaign rival Bernie Sanders during a bruising campaign.
In particular, they fret about her public backtracking over the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership, which is seen as a key driver of future growth for the city.
TRADE CAPITAL
Trump calls NAFTA the worst trade deal ever signed by the United States, claiming Mexico got all the benefits and it led to U.S. firms shipping jobs south. He has vowed to renegotiate themost lucrative U.S. port after the Port of Long Beach in Los Angeles.
On a visit to the bridge itself, it is easy to understand why Mexican drug cartels have fought vicious battles to control the Nuevo Laredo crossing, turning the city into a hotbed of teenage gunslingers and nervy soldiers.
Of the 6,500-odd trucks that enter the United States each day, officials can only search 1,000 at most. Drugs move north into the United States and guns and cash easily flow south.
Bootlegging has long been a way of life here. The former Zetas cartel kingpin Miguel Trevino, aka Z-40, was born in Nuevo Laredo, and Edgar Valdez, or La Barbie, a one-time associate of jailed capo Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, is a native of Laredo, just across the river

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama's Senior Adviser David Plouffe called former House Speaker Newt Gingrich's comments on the shooting of Trayvon Martin "reprehensible" on Sunday, saying they came from a man who was "clearly in the last throes of his political career."
On Friday, Obama broke his silence on the shooting of the unarmed African-American teenager in Florida, a case that has launched a national movement.
"If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon," Obama said, underscoring how the issue affected him on a personal level. "I think [Trayvon's parents] are right to expect that all of us as Americans are going to take this with the seriousness it deserves, and we are going to get to the bottom of exactly what happened."

Germany turned away 50 percent more people at its border in the first half of 2016 than in the whole of last year, according to government figures released on Tuesday.
Border control officers stopped some 13,324 people from entering the country up until the end of June, compared to 8,913 in 2015, the new Interior Ministry figures show.
Germany also looks set to increase its number of deportations - with 13,743 in the first six months of 2016, compared to 20,888 in the whole of 2015. The numbers suggest that the introduction of border controls in September 2015 and the increased pressure on local authorities to deport more migrants from Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere has started to show results.
The new figures come in response to an official information requestfrom Bundestag member Ulla Jelpke and other members of the Left party, who condemned the government's policies as "irresponsible," as it meant more people were facing return to crisis-hit regions.
Germany introduced border controls last September
'Mass deportation practice'
The number of collective deportations were particularly alarming for Jelpke. "In Germany an inhumane mass-deportation practice has become increasingly established," Jelpke said in a statement. "The number of collective deportations has increased massively compared to the years before - its proportion of all deportations is now 74 percent."
"The EU and the [German] government can't manage to sensibly coordinate the reception and processing of asylum applications, but when it comes to deportations, they outdo themselves," she added. "That is the opposite of humane asylum policy."
Jelpke also condemned Germany's new asylum laws, introduced in

Curadmír
The Curadmír or Champion's Portion was an ancient custom referred to in early Irish literature, whereby the warrior acknowledged as the bravest present at a feast was given precedence and awarded the choicest cut of meat. This was often disputed violently. The custom appears most often in the legends of the Ulster Cycle. It is parallelled by historical customs of the ancient Celts of continental Europe, as recorded by classical writers.
The Story of Mac Dá Tho's Pig
The Ulster Cycle saga Scéla Mucce Meic Dá Thó ("The Story of Mac Dá Tho's Pig") features a dispute over the Champion's Portion between warriors of Ulster and Connacht who are guests at a feast in Leinster. They dispute it by boasting of their previous heroic deeds, and eventually the Connacht heroSoojin Chung on the Christian History of Korean-American Adoption

Soojin Chung is Assistant Professor and Director of Intercultural Studies at California Baptist University. Her research interests include East Asian mission history, Christian internationalism, and women’s role in global Christianity.
For decades, Americans largely regarded East Asians as unassimilable aliens unfit for American citizenship. The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was the first American bill banning immigration of a racial or ethnic group. Thirty years later, a Japanese and Korean Exclusion League was instilled, followed by a treaty between America and Japan agreeing to deny passports to Japanese seeking employment in the US. Hatred toward Japanese during World War II resulted in the internment of roughly 120,000 Japanese Americans.

which reveal the surprising variety of the medium of painting, also can be of great interest. And that is an entirely different, and, also, a very serious achievement. Recall Arthur Danto's definition of art: "to be a work of art is to be (i) about something and (ii) to embody its meaning" (1997: 197). Interpreted thus, Carroll's art is about the medium of painting, for it reveals the multiplicity of ways that medium can be employed. And it embodies that meaning by practical demonstration, by showing what is possible. But there's more to be said; we need to unpack the significance of this definition. Earlier in this book I've mostly focused on well-known recent aesthetic theory.

As their classmates set off to play after school each day, nine-year-old Sakshi Garud and her neighbour Siddharth Dhage, 10, are among a small group of children who take a 14-km return train journey from their village to fetch water.
Their families are some of the poorest in the hamlet of Mukundwadi, in Maharashtra, a village that has suffered back-to-back droughts.
Monsoon has brought abundant rain and even floods in many parts of the country, but rainfall in the region around Mukundwadi has been 14 per cent below average this year and aquifers and borewells are dry.
"I don't like to spend time bringing water, but I don't have a choice," Dhage said.

Trade Organization.
As recently as Wednesday, Trump singled out the Europeans for being unfair with the US on trade, but said his door was open to negotiate a settlement.
"Very hard"
The Europeans fear above all that Trump will impose heavy duties on imports of European cars around mid-November.
This would be a serious blow for the German automotive sector in particular, even if giants such as Volkswagen or BMW also manufacture in the United States.
"Our products are very hard to bring in (to Europe)" when Europeans easily import their cars into the United States, Trump said.
The Airbus-Boeing row is just one of several issues stoking transatlantic tensions that quickly descended into acrimony when Trump took office in 2017.
Trump embraced a protectionist agenda, slapping import duties on steel and aluminium from theEU and other allies, while also threatening tariffs on cars.
Trade groups in Europe such as winemakers, German tool manufacturers and whisky producers in Scotland have kept a clamour of protest, demanding Washington reverse tack.
The US leader and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker agreed in July 2018 to a ceasefire in the conflict to hold trade talks that have so far led nowhere.
The epic legal battle between Airbus and Boeing at the World Trade Organization began in 2004 when Washington accused Britain, France, Germany and Spain of providing illegal subsidies and grants to support the production of a range of Airbus products.
A year later, the EU alleged that Boeing had received $19.1 billion worth of prohibited subsidies from 1989 to 2006 from various branches of the US government.

The Intrada release features for the first time Silvestri's original recording of the score, plus 7 minutes of alternates and source cues.
In case film music fans were worried that the labels would only be releasing scores by popular films (particularly those from the '80s and '90s) composed by fan favorites, Intrada has startlingly bucked the trend with their new, two-disc set of music from the short-lived TV series THEN CAME BRONSON. Sort of a cross between Route 66 and Easy Rider (but premiering only months after Easy Rider's first U.S. screening), Bronson told the story of a disilusioned newspaperman whorides around the country on a Harley-Davidson, impacting the lives of strangers. Bronson was played by Michael Parks, decades before Quentin Tarantino spotlighted the actor's versatility with roles in such films as Kill Bill (both volumes) and Django Unchained, and the show's pilot score, composed by Golden Age great and five-time Oscar nominee George Duning, was released by Film Score Monthly as part of their wondrous TV Omnibus boxed set. Intrada's Bronson features Duning episode cues on Disc One, with Disc Two filled by a variety of composers including TV veterans John Parker, Stu Phillips and Richard Shores as well as unfamiliar names (even to me) such as Dean Elliott, Tom McIntosh and Philip Springer.

ACT to launch college and career testing for elementary school students
By Raishay Lin, Contributing Editor
August 3rd, 2012
ACT officials say testing students early will give them more time to adjust coursework and prepare for potential career paths.
Standardized testing is under increasing scrutiny, as proponents tout its potential for bringing accountability to education while opponents deride it as misguided and exhausting. How much testing is too much? How early is too early?
Now, assessment provider ACT Inc. has announced plans to develop a “next generation” assessment system that would test students for college and career readiness as early as kindergarten and continue through high school.
The first module in the new system, designed for third graders, will pilot next year and launch officially in 2014.
ACT began in 1954 with its signature collegerequested and received administrative leave from Bennett to satisfy a summons for jury duty from March 3, 1986, through March 14, 1986, in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. This leave was later extended through March 21.

When Waters did not return to work as scheduled on March 24, Bennett asked Joyce Burch, the timekeeper, to make an inquiry. She reported to Bennett that Waters was still serving on a jury, but that the jury commissioner indicated that he had not actually begun sitting until March 11. When Waters returned, and after consulting with his own supervisor and with the Chief of the Administrative Management Section ("AMS"), Bennett asked Waters to account for his actual use of administrative leave on the days

to the moon (which unfortunately was never used). The Soyuz has served as multipurpose ship in countless missions, allowing, for example, the continued operation of the Mir space station (Mir means "Peace") for many years.
The Soyuz (variant Soyuz-TMA) is still in active service and is now the spacecraft used for transport people and supplies to and from the International Space Station.
The Soyuz spacecraft lift off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, using a Soyuz rocket. The russian word "Soyuz" means "Union".

In this Lego model, as in the real Soyuz spacecraft, the three modules can be separated, so you can simulate the separation of the descent module, which is the only part of the spaceship that returns to Earth.

Justice Debasish Kargupta directed the state government to file an affidavit within two weeks. The case is likely come up for hearing in the end of January.
On October 17, the state government had issued a notification for recruitment of over 34,000 primary school teachers across the state — the biggest teacher hiring exam in recent years. However, the notification was challenged in the High Court since the government made no distinction between both "trained" — those who have completed Diploma in Education( DED) course — and "untrained" candidates. According to the notification, both the types of candidates have to appear for the same

Regardless, more of the same is on the way, judging by former Clinton Chief of Staff John Podesta's return to the White House. As head of the Center for American Progress, Podesta helped write CAP's 2010 monograph "The Power of the President," urging Obama to "concentrate[e] on executive powers" instead of "the unappetizing process of making legislative sausage."
"It's a good idea to be tolerant of executive branch power grabs," Brooks insists. Our tolerance may be sorely tested in the months to come.
This column originally appeared on the Washington Examiner.Voting are being counted in Slovakia's general election with exit polls indicating a coalition of centre-right parties could form a government, excluding the nationalist party of controversial ex-Prime Minister Vladimir Meciar from power.
Meciar is likely to be left out of power
Although the polls showed Mr Meciar's HZDS in front, with about 18% of the vote, outgoing Prime Minister Mikulas Dzurinda's SDKU party did better than expected with 16.5%.
That opens the way for him to start building a coalition with his centre-right allies in the 150-seat parliament.
The results, if confirmed, are likely to please the European Union and Nato, which had warned Slovakia its application for membership of the organisations would run into trouble under a Meciar government.

"The place was just really insane," the police veteran says.
Then on Nov. 8, a friend of Isaiah's was gunned down. Abdul Healy, 27 -- a former basketball player at Newark Central High and Union County College known as "Hot Dog" for his flashy moves -- was shot multiple times in broad daylight on Eagles Parkway.
Ten days later, Rahmel Johnson, 20 -- known as "Ram" -- was shot and killed on Broome Street. Johnson was among Kevin Williams' closest friends.
Isaiah was 35 miles away, starting his first year at Iona, but his phone kept pulling him back to The Jungle.
Coaches and teammates say Isaiah was bursting into tears at practice."He's breaking down and you realize, 'Oh my God. Another one,' " Iona head coach Tim Cluess recalls.
Isaiah Williams looks down as he is walking on the treadmill during a rehab session for his foot injury at the Hynes Athletic Center at Iona College in New Rochelle, NY.

Rahmel Johnson's death particularly shook Isaiah.
That could have been Kevin, he thought. Johnson and Kevin were close friends and had been together only five minutes before Johnson was killed.
Isaiah tried to focus on basketball and schoolwork, but he couldn't stop thinking about his brother.
He played against St. Bonaventure on Dec. 14, 2013, scoring eight points and grabbing three rebounds in a 102-89 loss. A couple days later, he packed a bag and left Iona, arranging a ride from a friendguess what? You're going to sacrifice your own life for your brother."
Back in Newark, Isaiah says he literally pulled Kevin off the streets and into the safety of the house. They watched TV, played video games and talked. He urged his brother to get a job. He offered to move him into his dorm room at Iona. He told Kevin, 'C'mon. You're not built for this life.' "
The family also was having financial problems because Charlezetta couldn't work her security job after she was injured breaking up a fight. So Isaiah helped sell chili and pizza from his uncle's lunch truck. He called friends and former coaches to secure loans, enough to help pay some bills.

The vulnerabilities are also present in Blendr, the straight version of the app, according to a security expert who said both apps had "no real security" and were "poorly designed". Fairfax Media is not aware that Blendr has been hacked but the potential was there, according to the security expert. The founder of the apps, Joel Simkhai, conceded both were vulnerable and he was rushing to release a patch to address the issues. He said he had originally been waiting until new architecture was built "within weeks" but was now releasing an update to both apps "over the next few days". In a telephone interview about the vulnerabilities last Friday he said it was news to him about the potential for text chats to be monitored and claimedthe company had never experienced a "major breach" in which a large portion of users were affected. "We [do] get people trying to hack into our servers," he said. "That's something that I am aware of and we certainly have a team in place that are working to prevent that." But by Tuesday Mr Simkhai admitted that he was "aware of some vulnerabilities" but he would not talk about them in detail to avoid a hacker exploiting them.
"We are certainly aware of a lot of these vulnerabilities and ... they will be fixed as fast as humanly possible," he said. He could not say how many people had attempted to take advantage of the vulnerabilities but said a website created by the hacker had exploited some of the

flaws in Grindr. That website was shut down after Friday's interview with Fairfax Media after he sought legal action. The website, registered on July 14 last year, allowed the hacker to search for any Grindr user regardless of their location, and capitalised on the vulnerabilities to offer other services not designed by the apps. Material seen by this website suggests that a number of Australian users had their Twitter profiles linked to Grindr profiles on the web page, making it easier to find users. At one point, according to sources who saw the website before it was taken down, it listed users' Grindr pseudonyms, passwords, their personal favourites (bookmarked friends) and allowed them to be impersonated, and thus have messages sent and received without their knowledge.

the University address on Oct. 4 by thanking all members of the campus community, particularly applauding staff for their work making UCSF a great university.
UCSF Susan Desmond-Hellmann, MD, MPH, today (Oct. 4) delivered the State of the University address unveiling a new vision for UCSF — to be the world's preeminent health sciences innovator.
State of the University Transcript
During a speech that was streamed live on the web from Cole Hall Auditorium, Desmond-Hellmann outlined a three-year plan for the University that builds on the 2007 strategic plan and reflects UCSF's long-held values of patient care, health sciences research, teaching and public service.
The action plan reflects UCSF's immediate priorities in the current environment and directly addresses the most pressing challenges, she said. The focus over the next three years, Desmond-HellmannDemocratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden was called a "snob bereft of elementary quality as a human being" by North Korea's state-run KCNA news agency Tuesday night, after he criticized leader Kim Jong-un.
"Former U.S. Vice-President Biden has gone reckless and senseless, seized by ambition for power."
The big picture: KCNA's attack on the former vice president appears to be a retaliatory attack. Biden said at a campaign launch in Philadelphia Saturday, "Are we a nation that embraces dictators and tyrants like [Russian President Vladimir] Putin and Kim Jong-un?"
KCNA listed previous controversies surrounding Biden, including accusations that he'd behaved inappropriately toward women. In a nod to President Trump's labeling Biden a "low-IQ individual" KCNA called him "a fool of low IQ."

some point, Webber and Kelly traded places because Webber did not like the way Kelly was driving. According to Alexander, Webber and Kelly had a brief argument about Kelly's driving. Webber told Kelly that if he was going to act "wild and crazy" that he had "some friends that can take care of his problem for him."
They went to the home of a mechanic whom Webber wanted to try to enlist to drive a pickup to Tennessee for him. When Webber left the van, Bradley turned to Alexander and Kelly and said, "[L]et's get him before he gets us." They agreed to take Webber to Cameron Park and shoot him. Webber rejoined them, and Bradley directed him to the park. When they came to a dead end, Webberbegan *440 backing up to turn around. According to a pre-arranged signal, Kelly "nudged" Alexander who shot Webber in the head. He tossed the gun to Bradley who shot Webber in the face.
After killing Webber, they took his watch, money, and the keys to his other vehicles then dumped his body in an isolated area of the park. They saw Alexander's grandmother and aunt a few blocks from the park. They decided to burn the van to destroy any evidence.[2] They took the van to another location where they doused it with gasoline and set it on fire. Someone else gave Bradley a ride to his house to get another vehicle. Alexander and Kelly ran to a nearby apartment complex and Bradley picked them up in a Suburban

owned by Webber. Bradley asked them to come to his house and help him move Webber's vehicles. Bradley distributed keys to two of the vehicles, and Alexander and Kelly drove them away from the Bradley home.
Kelly's testimony largely corresponds to Alexander's. He confirmed that Webber did not like the way he was driving. However, he recalled that an argument with Webber ensued when Bradley expressed displeasure because Webber had not paid his mother to park the vehicles at her house. Kelly testified that Webber told Bradley, "Man, don't make me have to get my boys on you."
When Valerie returned later in the day, she "knew" they had killed Webber because "everybody was crying and the cars were moved." Valerie testified that she later saw Bradley, Alexander, and Kellyreturn to the Bradley home together in a vehicle which she "think[s]" was Webber's Suburban. She did not recall who was driving.
Law enforcement officers recovered Webber's body in the park three days later. The Waco Fire Marshal testified that the department responded to a fire on the date in question and in the area identified by Alexander and Kelly. His investigation of the scene revealed a van which had been almost completely destroyed by fire. A medical examiner testified that Webber died because of a gunshot which entered his body near the left eye. She also noted a laceration to his right ear which could have been caused by a gunshot.
The officers identified Bradley, Alexander and Kelly as suspects and secured warrants for their arrest. They arrested them

the basic needs of their citizens," Aude Alston, the secretary general of the European Federation of Food Banks, wrote in a press release in response to the news. "The European food aid program is more needed than ever."
Welfare organizations agree that those countries worst hit by Europe's economic crisis— peripheral Europe (Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Italy), the Baltic States and Eastern Europe — are those most in need of food aid programs.
One country hard hit is Spain, where unemployment reached 24.6 percent in the second quarter. This October, the Spanish Red Cross launched its first-ever appeal to support impoverished Spaniards, with previous fundraising drives always targeted at Third World countries.
"Our members in Spain identify both migrants and Spanish-born nationals as requesting food aid, and they also seea large number of homeless people looking to access food aid," said Heather Roy, secretary general of Eurodiaconia, a federation of European Christian welfare groups.
Meanwhile, organizations also notice increasing numbers of people asking for handouts in "core" European countries, such as France.
"France used to have a really good system of social benefits for everybody, but the government system has an increasing number of gaps which people fall through, and that puts them in serious difficulties. Welfare organizations then increasing feel the pressure," said Lueder.
Across Europe, elderly people and families with children are often most likely to fall into poverty.
"Our Italian Red Cross says one of the biggest groups asking for food aid is pensioners with minimal income. They ask family and neighbors, but they also go to the

during the Arctic expedition in search of the Northwest Passage.[6] During this voyage, Cresswell sketched and painted several depictions of their life in the Arctic. With the Investigator locked in ice from September 1851 through the spring of 1853, several men became invalid, and Cresswell was put in charge of transporting them to Captain Henry Kellett's ship 160 mi (260 km) away which Cresswell and the Inuit interpreter J.A. Miertsching accomplished with no loss of life. Kellett then sent Cresswell with additional invalid men to Beechey Island. When ice conditions finally permitted ship travel, Cresswell finally headed for England, arriving in autumn 1853 with the announcement that the Northwest Passage had finally been located. Upon his return to England, Parry declared that Cresswell, then a lieutenant, was thefirst person to traverse the Northwest Passage,[7] though in actuality, Cresswell was the first naval officer to cross the entire Northwest Passage.[1]
Cresswell's numerous water-colour paintings made during the Ross and McClure expeditions leave behind a pictorial record of the activities and terrain. Some of the sketches were presented to Queen Victoria. A subsequent folio volume of lithographic views of the drawings, A Series of Eight Sketches in Colour, together with a Chart of the Route of the Voyage of H.M.S. 'Investigator' during the Discovery of the North West Passage, was published in London in 1854.[6] In the same year, he was promoted to the rank of commander on 21 October (again for his Arctic service[5]), and served in the Crimean War's Baltic theatre.

Wall covering is adhered to walls, ceilings or other surfaces, by the use of an adhesive. Decorative sheet material such as wall coverings are formed typically of paper, plastic, metal foil, or fabric material having a pattern or design printed or embossed on the front surface, with the other surface, or back, being coated with the adhesive. Other types of wall coverings include those having a plastic decorative surface and a backing of woven or non-woven fabric or paper.
Some wall coverings adhere to walls by virtue of wet glue, cement or the like (typically known as "wallpaper paste") applied to the wall or wall covering before hanging.

Dr. Drew Pinsky is calling on lawmakers to modify Prop 47, which he says is enabling individuals with mental health issues to deny treatment.
"The fact is — (Prop) 47 is murder. It is murder," Dr. Drew told FOX 11 during a Good Day LA interview Monday morning.
Prop 47, also known as the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act, was a referendum passed by California voters in November 2014. The law changed drug possession from a felony to a misdemeanor, which means drug addicts won't go to jail for shooting up in public.

The Mediterranean Sea has served as a platform for piracy for millennia. Both Muslims and Christians have engaged in piracy, kidnapping and enslavement with the sea serving as a thoroughfare. But the nations along the Barbary Coast developed in earnest due to piracy. Although control over the area changed hands several times from 1492 onward, piracy was a constant source of revenue for the region.
Because of their geographic placement along the naval trade routes between Europe and the East Indies (the modern Middle East), the Barbary pirates were in an excellent position to extract wealth from Europe. These pirates were good at their trade: At one point in the 17th century,

Vultures carve lazy circles in the sky as a stream of tourists marches down a walkway into Colorado's Spruce Canyon. Watching their steps, the visitors file along a series of switchbacks leading to one of the more improbable villages in North America — a warren of living quarters, storage rooms, defensive towers and ceremonial spaces all tucked into a large cleft in the face of a cliff.
When ancient farmers built these structures around the year 1200, they had nothing like the modern machinery that constructed the tourist walkway. Instead, the residents had to haul thousands of tonnes of sandstone blocks, cut timber and other materials down precarious paths to build the settlement, known as Spruce Tree House, in Mesa Verde National Park.
“Why would people live here? That's animportant question. It's not an easy place to reach,” says Donna Glowacki, an archaeologist now at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, as she walks among the ruins. Even more perplexing is what happened after they settled there. The villagers occupied their cliffside houses for just a short time before everyone suddenly picked up and left. So did all the other farmers living in the Four Corners region of the American Southwest, where the modern states of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Arizona meet (see 'Turbulent times').
All together, nearly 30,000 people disappeared from this area between the mid-1200s and 1285, making it one of the greatest vanishing acts documented in human history. What had been one of the most populous parts of North America became almost instantly

is not, in fact, going it alone. Bayward and the Elbow Boys all but move in to keep watch on Harp's sobriety, with Raylou's ready approval. His estranged alcoholic father shows up to demand recognition. And his bitter, suspicious mother, recently graduated from a correspondence course in filmmaking, appears to shoot a documentary on whether Harp is turning out to be a philandering drunk like his dad. And throughout, like a numerological incantation, the 12-stepping programs Harp has fled force their way back into his life: 12 turtles stolen from bio-toxicology experiments; 12 12-foot-high hex-nut angels to stand guard on a Birmingham roadway and grant travelers safe passage; 12 steps away from the bar and back to the car that will take him home.
The title of "Workshirts forMadmen" is taken from the pile of Goodwill and Dollar Store shirts that Harp's neighbor uses to clothe his mentally ill sister, and that nearly half the characters end up wearing—misidentifying all of them as "Wayward" or simply "XX," as though these were stage names for the cast of sponsors holding Harp's hand through his recovery. Though there's little heavy emotional punch to the trauma of getting sober, and the philosophical underpinning of the story (the book jacket asks, "Is it true there's no free will?") seems unresolved, it's a fun read on a normally bleak subject. And perhaps that's what's intended: recovery, in the best of all possible worlds, as an adventure to be undertaken, rather than a trial to be withstood.

Manchester City Council spokesman There are 5,000 free copies available of the booklet, paid for by the city council and NHS Manchester. At the launch event in Manchester Town Hall on Thursday the council gave away 600 copies of the guide. It was primarily introduced to reduce the rising number of sexually transmitted infections among the more mature. In a decade, the number of those infected over the age of 45 has doubled.

appeals. In effect, his claim is that his business was neither so large nor so successful as the government contends.

From 1992 to 1995 Sadiq and his stepbrother, Khalil Ataa (we think "stepbrother" is right but Ataa is called a "half brother" at various times in the record), distributed drugs out of his grandmother Alzena McCall's house in Mount Vernon, Illinois. Ataa managed a similar business in nearby Centralia, Illinois. Sadiq and Ataa often traveled together to Waukegan, Illinois, to buy drugs. They brought the drugs back to Sadiq's residence--Granny McCall's house--in Mount Vernon, where they cooked crack. They and their dealers then sold the drugs in Mount Vernon and Centralia.

On April 18, 1995, Sadiq and three others, Ahmad Smith, Robert Lockett a/k/a Anthonyhe contends would be a violation of his agreement with the government that paved the way for his statement. The support for Sadiq's proposition is that in his proffer he referred to Smith and Lockett as "servers" of his drugs to his customers, and the presentence report uses the same word. Therefore, he contends, the proffer was used.

We cannot accept this argument. There is independent evidence from which the district judge concluded that both Smith and Lockett were participants. For one thing, Sadiq himself said that he sold them drugs. Although he contended they were merely customers, from all the evidence before him Judge Gilbert reasonably concluded otherwise. Lockett told the government that he had seen Ahmad Smith selling drugs at Sadiq's

arrested for trying to use a fake check on October 12 at Capital Luxury Cars (pictured) in Albany, New York
He claimed the group made a visit to Albany and to the car dealership before committing to buying the Jaguar coupe and having it delivered to his home.
However, when that plan fell through, the woman representing them issued them the fake checks.
The dealership discovered the alleged fraud when Aubin texted sales manager Sandra Older a picture of the check he planned to use to buy the British sports car.
Older told the Times Union she was immediately suspicious, and when she contacted Bank of America she was told the account number listed was not real.
Albany Police Chief Brendan Cox (pictured) said the 'breeding ring' allegations are being 'looked into' andadded he is not in a position to comment as of this stage
A source connected to the Albany Police Department allegedly told the Times Union at least one officer was linked to the reported parties (stock image)
Moore said he started working in the adult film industry as a producer to get out of debt, and Aubin had floated the potential idea with him after they met.
He also said he had no idea the checks his boyfriend tried to use were fake.
'At no time did Anthony tell me that the checks issued to me from (our agent) Sandra were fraudulent or that the business transactions were illegal in any shape or form... As far as I knew, the transactions for the vehicles were legitimate,' he said, according to the

Sabrina and her Abra, they manage to get Black Fog into the Poké Ball and attempt to close it inside. Suddenly, the Poké Ball explodes and the Black Fog escapes into a hole below. They realize that it used Explosion to free itself but in doing so lowered its health down to almost zero and can be captured by a normal Poké Ball.
Ash goes down to battle the Black Fog one last time aided by his Pikachu and Sabrina's Abra. Weakened by using Explosion, Black Fog is forced to defend itself by throwing rocks at its opponent. They easily dodge the rocks and Ash throws an Ultra Ball to capture it after binding Black Fog with Thunder. However, just before the Ultra Ball can reach it, the Blackit being accustomed to that treatment, it became arrogant and prideful.

Trivia
The Black Fog may be the counterpart to Sabrina's Haunter. It should be noted that the Haunter in the anime was happy and friendly while the Haunter (referred to as "The Black Fog") in The Electric Tale of Pikachu is shown to be evil and destructive; likewise, in The Electric Tale of Pikachu, Sabrina is kind and gentle, while her anime counterpart was cold and callous.

Last updated on .From the section Rangers
Robert Sarver is owner of Phoenix Suns of the National Basketball Association in the USA
Rangers International Football Club has rejected a possible £18m takeover offer from American Robert Sarver, saying it undervalues the Ibrox outfit.
But the board has invited the owner of the Phoenix Suns basketball outfit to invest in the Scottish Championship club along with other shareholders.
The news comes the day after football chairman Sandy Easdale loaned the club £500,000 to avoid a winding-up order.
RIFC admits that it will require further funding by the end of January.
"The directors are in discussions with Rangers' significant stakeholders with a view to arranging finance for the club," said a statement to the Stock Exchange.
"This is likely to comprise loans in the short term andpossibly equity in the medium term.
"The board has invited Mr Sarver to consider participating in a similar discussion alongside other supportive shareholders."
Mike Ashley's associates are now chief executive and finance director at Ibrox
Sarver, a 53-year-old banker by profession, purchased a majority ownership in the Phoenix Suns' National Basketball Association franchise in 2004 and also owns the Phoenix Mercury women's basketball club.
Rangers revealed that his plan for the Glasgow club involved buying 100 million shares at 18p per share - below the current share price of 26p.
"While the directors welcome Mr Sarver's approach, they believe that, notwithstanding the current financial difficulties, the proposal does not adequately value a controlling interest in the company," said the RIFC statement.
"And, accordingly, the resolution to approve the placing is unlikely to achieve the

Chaos On Deponia.
Published:14:04Sunday 25 November 2012
Introducing us to a garbage-filled world full of character and charm that isn’t often seen in a video game, Daedalic Entertainment’s fabulous point-and-click adventure Deponia showed players why the point-and-click genre was so popular with simple controls and a unique feel to its characters and the world around them (See my review on Deponia).
This game began the intended trilogy in style which has followed on to its sequel, Chaos on Deponia, which again sees players control Rufus as he once again finds himself in a bigger pickle than before. Does Chaos on Deponia carry on the same charm and wit that made the first game so popular?

Dick Horowitz says goodbye
Richard Horowitz, who has had an astonishing sixty-six-year-run as the principal timpanist of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, plays his final performance tomorrow, when the orchestra appears at Carnegie Hall. A lovely article by Fred Plotkin, on the WQXR website, highlights not only Horowitz's many decades in the pit — when he made his debut, in 1946, Lily Pons was singing Lakmé — but also his work as a maker of instruments and batons. (A 1988 Times article tells more about the batons, one of which rests with Leonard Bernstein in Green-Wood Cemetery.) At a recent Traviata, Peter Gelb brought the timpanist out on stage for a tribute; Mark Horowitz, his son, filmed the moment from the pit. Many congratulations to Mr. Horowitz onAnother issue is the major age-related changes of cerebral glucose metabolism, in cortical as in the subcortical structures, throughout the entire childhood \[[@B28],[@B29]\]. Regional metabolism increases from birth to around 4 years up to values over twice the adult values, which were maintained until the end of the first decade, when they began to decline and reach adult rates by the end of the second decade. Metabolism increases earlier in the sensorimotor and occipital cortex than in the frontal cortex and increases higher in the cerebral cortex than in subcortical structures and cerebellum \[[@B28]\]. In the anterior cingulate cortex and the thalamus in particular, metabolism continues to increase up to 25 years and then remains relatively stable \[[@B29]\].

we regarded as an unsustainable addiction treatment system, we at the University of Wisconsin Center for Health Enhancement Systems Studies convened a meeting of drug addicts, family members, biomedical engineers, nano-technologists, futurists, computer scientists, and experts in social networking, quality improvement, and pharmacology. Only two people were from addiction treatment. The addicts and families told their stories. A futurist reviewed where the world was likely to go generally. The group was told that a virus had selectively killed every addiction treatment provider. The attendees had to design an addiction treatment system built solely on technology. Attendees broke into groups, each containing an addict, a family member, and experts. Many new insights emerged, including those that led to our work in smartphones and sensors \[[@ref37]\].

following day, Bank notified County, claiming it had not received notice of the sale.
On April 5, 1994, Bank filed a complaint to invalidate the tax sale of the Property to Giant, naming County, and served County with the complaint on April 5, 1994. Bank did not amend its complaint to name substitute Giant as "Doe 1" until six months later, November 7, 1994.
Thereafter, on April 28, 1997, the trial court granted Giant's motion, joined by County, to bifurcate the trial to address the issue of (1) whether Bank was entitled to set aside the tax sale, before the issue of (2) whether Bank was estopped from invalidating the sale.
On February 25, 1998, trial commenced on the first issue. After three days of testimony, the case was submitted onthe sale immediately after the tax sale occurred. Accordingly, it is a fair inference that, had County received the returned notice only after the tax sale and after Bank's assertion that County failed to provide notice of the sale, County employees would have remembered that fact. (Cowan v. Tremble (1931) 111 Cal. App. 458, 465, 296 P. 91 [when an addressee testified he was unable to remember the date of receiving a letter, the court held that it was a fair inference, that had the letter been received after the critical period mentioned, "he would have remembered the fact"].)
Defendants rely on the testimony of County's tax sales supervisor. The supervisor testified that it was the custom and practice of County to resend notices of tax sales if they

country, respondents were asked to reach consensus. For one country we calculated the mean number of specialists obtained from different respondents. Data collection was done by Nanna Fyhrquist, scientific secretary of the EAACI NASC and Norbert Mülleneisen, secretary of the UEMS S&B. Data cleaning was done by the authors, 3 representatives from the NASC, Nanna Fyhrquist (NF), Thomas Werfel (TW), Maria Beatrice Bilò (MBB) and 2 representatives from UEMS, Roy Gerth van Wijk (RGvW) and Norbert Mülleneisen (NM). A selected number of questions was used to write this executive summary.
By merging the replies from countries in the European community by UEMS representatives with the answers from the NAS the survey goes beyond the borders of the European community. For simplicity "Europe" and "European" in the text refers tomany training schemes across Europe deviate from these requirements, and one of many concerns is the unequal and ill-defined training of specialists and subspecialists. The requirements from 2003 need to be updated and modernized according to the current UEMS standards for ETRs (European Training Requirements). In addition, attempts should be made to harmonize national training requirements using the ETR as benchmark. Harmonization was also the main goal of establishing objectives of training and a specialty training core curriculum \[[@CR15], [@CR16]\]. On the other hand, one should bear in mind that the states remain free to organize the specialties at a national level.

books and manuscripts of Yale University.
The ancient manuscript has been the object of intense studies by numerous professional and amateur cryptographers, including leading American and British specialists in code cracking of World War II.
So far, no one has managed to decipher a single word written in the manuscript. This succession of failures has turned the manuscript into the Holy Grail of historical cryptography, but at the same time, it has fueled the hypothesis that the book is nothing more than an elaborate deception, a random sequence of symbols without any meaning.
However, Kondrak has resorted to the help of artificial intelligence programs capable of correctly identifying a language up to 97% of the time and, after analyzing the manuscript, has suggested its language resembles Hebrew, reports CTV News.

440 mi (710 km) from the North Pole, it is one of the world's most northerly points of land. Robert E. Peary was the first explorer to reach it in 1900; it was named for Morris K. Jesup, a merchant-banker who financed polar expeditions.
Southern extremity of South America. Located on Horn Island in the southern Tierra del Fuego archipelago, it projects south into Drake Passage. It was named Hoorn for the birthplace of Dutch navigator Willem Schouten, who rounded it in 1616. Navigation of the rough waters around the cape is hazardous, and the climate is windy and cold year-round.
Promontory, at the southern entrance to Chesapeake Bay, southeastern Virginia, U.S. Located in Virginia Beach city, it is opposite Cape Charles, to which it is connected by the ChesapeakeBay Bridge Tunnel. It is the site of Cape Henry Memorial, which marks the 1607 landing of the first permanent English settlers in America. The memorial, part of Colonial National Historical Park, includes the Old Lighthouse, the first in the U.S. (1792). The nearby New Lighthouse (1881) has one of the world's most powerful lights, visible offshore for 20 mi (32 km).
Scenic coastal area situated on Bodie, Hatteras, and Ocracoke islands along the Outer Banks, eastern North Carolina, U.S. The park, the country's first national seashore, was authorized in 1937 and established in 1953.

123 years old when he died, being three years older than Moses.
Throughout the many weary years of wandering in the desert, Clouds of Glory surrounded the Israelite Camp and protected them from the desert sun and other discomforts. The Clouds of Glory also kept the enemies of the Israelites in fear, and they did not dare attack the children of Israel. When Aaron died, the Clouds of Glory disappeared, and the children of Israel were soon attacked by the Canaanite king of Arad: However, the Clouds of Glory later returned for the sake of Moses, and stayed with them as long as Moses lived.
The entire people of Israel, both men and women, mourned the death of Aaron for thirty days. Everybody knew Aaron as a great lover ofpeace, who brought love and harmony among people and in many a home. When two people quarreled, Aaron would speak to each one separately and tell him how much the other man is sorry for having lost his temper. When the two people met again, they became good friends again. Many newly born children were named 'Aaron' in his honor and memory.
Said our Sages: "Be of the disciples of Aaron, loving peace and seeking after peace, loving all creatures and bringing them near unto the Torah," for "its (the Torah's) ways are ways of pleasantness and all its paths are peace."

members reviewed Tuesday came from the Defense Intelligence Agency and showed that Flynn had not declared any income from Russian or Turkish sources, committee leaders said.
Kelner also noted that lawmakers might be interested in seeing documents that could shed light on what Flynn told the White House and his foreign contacts before he was named national security adviser, and what led to his exit less than a month later. During the transition period, Flynn told the incoming White House that he might need to register as a foreign agent.

The court stated this while enhancing the maintenance from Rs 3,000 to Rs 5,000 per month to be given by the husband to his wife and their three school-going kids.
"It is a cruel truth that when any able-bodied man wants to enter into any wedlock, he projects himself as if he was a 'prince' but when it comes to making any payment towards the maintenance, he projects himself nothing more than a 'pauper'," Additional Sessions Judge Manoj Jain said.
The order came on an appeal filed by the woman against a magisterial court's interim order directing the man

found themselves down by 10 points midway through the first half to the injury-riddled Mustangs.
Through adjustments made on the fly and at halftime by head coach Ruth Ann Pederson, the Eagles were able to cut the lead to one point at halftime.
Through the adjustments made on both ends of the court, New Life was able to control the paint and double the Mustangs rebound total. On defense, the Eagles were able to stop Breck from driving to the hoop, causing turnovers and more shots for the opponent.
The Eagles ended the game with a 10-point win, defeating Breck by a final score of 53-43.
Sophomore Valerie Hohol led the Eagles in points and rebounds with 15 and 10, respectively. Junior Emily Bolduan was right behind her with 14, and seniorthe school management for their participation.

The tests were performed at the school in 2 days. First, anthropometric data were collected from the participants, and then physical condition tests were performed. Anthropometric measurements were taken in the school gymnasium, with light clothing (shorts and t-shirt), without footwear, and without any metallic object on the body (earrings, chains, watches, etc.).

Kinshasa is the most populated city in the country, with 9, 463, 749 inhabitants occupying a 9,965 km² area, of which more than half was strictly rural in 2012 \[[@B9]\]. The city is subdivided into 6 sanitary districts and 35 operational health areas. The modern health system includes public health training, private profit-seeking andof socialist change. It did not receive much support, but I hope that Left Unity will revisit many of the issues they raised as we do need to begin thinking about how Left Unity will organise, aid and initiate struggles and campaigns over the coming period. The only other platform to be voted on was the Communist Platform that was submitted by the Communist Party of Great Britain after losing the key vote at the September SP caucus. It was the SP with some amendments and won little support before or at the conference. Both were overwhelmingly defeated on the day and the remaining platforms were withdrawn despite taking up precious time on the day by being moved.

'I took action': High school football player kills student over her pregnancy, court documents say
Aaron R. Trejo, 16, of Mishawaka, Indiana, was charged with murder and feticide Dec. 10, 2018, in connection with the death of Breana Rouhselang, 17, who was six months pregnant.(Photo: St. Joseph County (Ind.) Police Department)
MISHAWAKA, Ind. – A high school football player has confessed to killing a student manager of the team because she was pregnant with their child, according to court documents released Monday.
Aaron Trejo, 16, of Mishawaka about 150 miles north of Indianapolis, told police that he knew Breana Rouhselang, 17, was pregnant and he was "supposed to be the father of the baby," but neither he nor Rouhselang wanted to be parents, a probable cause affidavit said.
"I took action. ...I took her life," Trejo reportedly told police, according to court documents.
On Monday, Trejo was charged in St. Joseph County Superior Court with murder and feticide after Rouhselang's body was found Sunday morning in a trash container behind a Mishawaka restaurant. Prosecutors are trying him as an adult, and he is being publicly identified because of that action.
Breana Rouhselang had been one of the managers for the football team, a spokeswoman for Mishawaka Schools said.
The discovery of Rouhselang's body came after her mother reported her missing early Sunday, Detective Gery Mullins of St. Joseph County Metro Police wrote in the affidavit. The girl's mother told police that her daughter, who was six months pregnant, had gone to talk to the father of her unborn child, Trejo, around 11

New York City’s Stonewall riots, seen now as the symbolic start to the modern gay rights movement, were less than a year in the past. Sodomy laws made gay sex illegal in nearly every state; most gay men and lesbians were concerned with much more basic rights like keeping their jobs and homes or simply living openly.
"People at the time said these guys were crazy," said Phil Duran, legal counsel to OutFront Minnesota, the state’s principal gay rights lobby. "I think today, most people would say, ’Holy mackerel, you saw this when no one else did.’ History will vindicate them. It already has."

The high court in October 1972 declined to hear arguments in Baker v. Nelson, rejecting it in a one-sentence dismissal "for want of a substantial federal question." Now, in taking up the dispute over the California constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, the court may confront the issue of whether the U.S. Constitution forbids states from defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman.
"I am convinced that same-sex marriage will be legalized in the United States," Baker told a group of lawyers on Oct. 21, 1971, quoted then by the St. Paul Pioneer Press (in a story that described him as an "admitted homosexual"). But for years after the high court refused to hear arguments in Baker v. Nelson, its single

The British National Party received more cash than UKIP in the third quarter of the year thanks to legacy donations, figures show.
A single bequest of £94,428 meant the BNP received more than twice the amount in donations than Nigel Farage's party between July and September.
The donation, declared in the latest Electoral Commission figures, was the full estate of John Lintell, and is among just over £1m left to the party by legacy donors in the last five years - £202,224 in the last year alone.
BNP deputy leader Clive Jefferson says it is a result of encouraging people to leave money to the party in their wills.
The party's website suggests people should give money to the BNP and not "let the government traitors get your legacy".
Image: The BNP websiteencourages people to bequeath their estates
It provides advice on ways to bequeath money and suggested wording for people to contain in their wills.
Mr Jefferson told Sky News: "That (legacy donations) has become very popular with committed patriots as a way of fighting after they have gone."
He added that people were increasingly leaving their full estates to the BNP, and said the party was "putting a lot of resources into it and helping people to do something really worthwhile".
Mr Jefferson said Brexit had fuelled a surge in membership and that the party was now a "resurgent force".
He said it had taken control of its first council this year and that membership numbers to be released at the end of the year would show a "significant" surge.

Halo 4 marked 343 Industries' first entry in the franchise, and it's no understatement to say they hit a home run. While Halo as a seriesis unquestionably best known for its multiplayer, 343 breathed new life into the campaign's story mode, particularly highlighting the relationship between Master Chief and his very human AI program, Cortana. When Cortana sacrifices herself for Chief at the end of the game, you'll find yourself moved to tears by an AI program giving her "life" for a guy whose face weMore than two decades have passed since Ole Miss defensive back Chucky Mullins suffered a crushing injury on the field of play, putting an abrupt end to his football career and, less than two years after the injury, his life.
Mullins’ fate may have faded from the local collective conscious, but reminders of the inherent danger of athletic competition have persisted, manifesting themselves of late in even more grim fashion: suicides.
From Junior Seau, the legendary San Diego Chargers linebacker who committed suicide in May 2012, to Jovan Belcher, the Kansas City Chiefs linebacker who killed his girlfriend before turning the gun on himself in December 2012, the visibility of these and other eerily similar cases have been almost inescapable.

The Trump EPA had originally planned to withdraw California's waiver at the same time it issues its broader proposal to roll back federal auto emissions standards. But the administration accelerated its plans to single out California after the state struck an agreement with Ford and three other car makers to continue to lower their vehicles' emissions, even if the federal rules are frozen. California's deal with the automakers recently drew a stern rebuke from EPA and the Transportation Department as well as an anti-trust investigation from the Justice Department.

Roe filed his habeas corpus action in 1995, raising thirty-four claims for relief. In 1996, the case was transferred to the Southern District of Ohio, the district of his conviction. Then, inexplicably, the case languished and was reassigned to several different judges. Finally, the case was assigned to Judge Sargus who dismissed the petition in 2000, but certified twenty-two issue for appeal to this court. Roe raises seven of those certified issues in this appeal. The government makes no claims of procedural default as to any of these sevento specify in its indictment which specific theory of kidnaping it intended to prove. The alternative theories charged in the indictment both as to the kidnaping charge and capital specification alleged that Roe "(1) did by force, theft or deception remove the victim from the place where she was found with a purpose to facilitate the commission of a felony, or (2) did by force, theft or deception knowingly or under circumstances which created substantial risk of serious physical harm to victim remove the victim from the place where she was found." The trial court submitted both theories to the jury.

Chinese academic faked groundbreaking mobile phone chip
The Chinese people have been shocked and embarrassed by the revelation that the Hanxin DSP (digital signal processing) chip, which was destined to revolutionise mobile phones, has been faked. The chips creator, Professor Chen Jin of Shanghai's Jiaotong University, who was the dean of the university's School of Microelectronics, has been exposed as a fraud. Jiaotong University have confirmed that the chips were faked.
Rumours began to build up at the beginning of the year that the chips were a fraud; there was talk that Professor Chen had created the Hanxin chips simply by grinding away the top surface of some of Motorola's Freescale DSP chips, and then adding the Hanxin logo. Additionally, the chips failed to live up to expectations in tasksThe John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts informed members of the National Symphony Orchestra that they would no longer be paid just hours after President Trump signed a $25 million taxpayer bailout for the cultural center, according to an email obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
Nearly 100 musicians will no longer receive paychecks after April 3, according to an email from the orchestra's Covid-19 Advisory Committee.
"The Covid-19 Advisory Committee was broadsided today during our conversation with [Kennedy Center President] Deborah Rutter," the email says. "Ms. Rutter abruptly informed us today that the last paycheck for all musicians and librarians will be April 3 and that we will not be paid again until the Center reopens."

As former president George W.

Another set of marks led "in a snakelike direction" to a second pile of debris located in the eastbound traffic lane and 222 feet west of the first area of debris. This second pile of debris consisted of dirt, grease, gasoline and metal. From this area of debris the marks which had approached in a "snakelike" manner "went back in an easterly direction several feet [53 feet] to where the [Milner] Ford came to rest." The Lincoln was "directly opposite the Ford" to the south, and there were marks from the second area of debris leading to the Lincoln.

was the 1975 chart-topper, "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover," opening with Jim Oblon's military drum riff, followed by Mr. Simon's smooth, Sinatra-style lyrics.
"I would say this is my favorite city, but I'm not contractually allowed to say that," he quipped to his Windy City fans, who cheered enthusiastically. "But it's true."
'"The problem is all inside your head,' she said to me/'The answer is easy if you take it logically."'
And when the tune shifted gears into its funky romp, much of the United Center crowd was on their feet, singing along and perhaps recalling how they were once inspired to exit a toxic relationship.
A virtuoso guitar player himself, Mr. Simon was accompanied by a nine-member, multi-instrumental ensemble, plus the chamber-music sextet yMusic, which National Public Radio has ordainedthe soundtrack of our lives. He is arguably the greatest singer/songwriter of his generation. While not as influential as Bob Dylan, his music was more accessible to the masses. And in the late 1960s, Simon and his singing partner Art Garfunkel sold more records than a little band called The Beatles.
For the record, Mr. Simon has earned sixteen Grammy awards, is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and was the first recipient of the Library of Congress's Gershwin Award for Popular Song.
While ever expanding the horizons of his artistic vision, the five-foot-three music giant went truly global in 1985 when he traveled to apartheid South Africa, breaking the performers boycott of that country, collaborating with accomplished local musicians, and producing his masterwork Graceland, which

Moldova Adds Christmas Public Holiday
Source:Agentia Informationala de Stat (Moldpres)
Posted on Thursday, December 19, 2013
The bill introduced by the government of Moldova, to declare Western Christmas as an annual non-working public holiday in Moldova, has been passed by a majority of legislators from the current ruling coalition.
Four years ago (2009-12-04), when Western Christmas was decreed as a one-off non-working public holiday in Moldova, for the first time, Moldova's Prime Minister, Vladimir Filat, had announced that his government would introduce legislation to make December 25 an annual public holiday, starting the following year ("începând cu 2010, ziua de 25 decembrie va fi declarata sarbatoare oficiala").
The aforementioned bill does not remove the Orthodox Christmas non-working public holiday on January 7, as specified (2010-04-15) by the law "On holidays, commemorative days anddays of rest in Moldova" (nr. 262, 13 aprilie 2010).
What remains to be seen, now that December 25 is an annual non-working public holiday in Moldova, is whether Saturday, December 13, 2014, will be a regular working day, as it was declared, earlier this month (2013-12-07), to compensate the declaration of December 25, 2014, as a one-off non-working public holiday in Moldova.

per hour. The birds are easily recognizable by the distinctive white rings around their eyes and the fact that they’re mostly black with a white belly — giving them an appearance close to the stereotypical image of penguins. Famous fowl In 1911, explorer George Murray Levick observed the Adelie penguins' breeding cycle and was shocked by their "sexual deviance." Homosexual acts, sexual abuse of chicks and attempts to mate with dead birds are recorded in Levick's paper "Sexual Habits of the Adelie Penguin," which was deemed too shocking for publication and was only recently discovered by London's Natural History Museum. Experts say the young penguins' actions are due to sexual inexperience.

The birds boast 70 feathers per square inch of their bodies and have four layers of feathering. Like most penguins, king penguins are able to drink saltwater because their supraorbital glands filter out excess salt. Famous fowl Nils Olav is a king penguin at the Edinburgh Zoo in Scotland who serves as the mascot and colonel-in-chief of the Norwegian Royal Guard. In August 2008, the bird was knighted, an honor approved by the king of Norway.

occurs as the "downward synthesis," in which the third term, whose function is to mediate between the opposition of the first two, does it in a disappointing-regressive way (say, in Hegel's Phenomenology, the whole dialectic of observing Reason culminates in the ridiculous figure of phrenology). The main split of Buddhism is the one between Hinayana ("the small wheel") and Mahayana ("the great wheel"). The first one is elitist and demanding, trying to maintain the fidelity to Buddha's teaching, focusing on the individual's effort to get rid of the illusion of the Self and attain the Enlightenment. The second one, which arose through the split from the first one, subtly shifts the accent onto compassion with others: its central figure is bodhisattva, the individual who, after achieving Enlightenment, decides,Chesterton's The Man Who Was Thursday tells the story of Gabriel Syme, a young Englishmen who makes the archetypal Chestertonian discovery of how order is the greatest miracle and orthodoxy the greatest of all rebellions. The focal figure of the novel is not Syme himself, but a mysterious chief of a super-secret Scotland Yard department who is convinced that "a purely intellectual conspiracy would soon threaten the very existence of civilization":
He is certain that the scientific and artistic worlds are silently bound in a crusade against the Family and the State. He has, therefore, formed a special corps of policemen, policemen who are also philosophers. It is their business to watch the beginnings of this conspiracy, not merely in a criminal but in a controversial sense. /.../ The

that tends to impact guys in positive ways when the team is better and you feel comfortable with the group and the coaching staff," Rielly said. "That can really have a positive influence on guys."
Rielly, who averages 22:10 of ice time per game, leads the Maple Leafs in total ice time (509:43) and power-play ice time among defensemen (2:41 per game) this season. He also often gets matched up against the best players on the opposing team.
"He's coming, obviously, he keeps getting better, he's still a kid," Babcock said. "It's hard to be real consistent and real good defensively and offensively every night in the National Hockey League when you're a kid on the backend."

The pros and cons of photoshop and blogging were analyzed, anagrams were used to compare icons and non-icons like Imelda Marcos, Sharon Cuneta and Kris Aquino, and words like "zeitgeist," arbitrariness", and "macabre" peppered the two hour conversation, along with art-snob catchphrases like "the cult of celebrity" and "Pop culturati". All in all, it was delightful evening of fabulously pretentious post-modern discourse served liberally and unabashed. We hope to see you all again at the next one.

husky, bespectacled bear of a man in his mid-fifties, the proceedings were anything but academic. Mitchell was on trial for allegedly driving the getaway car in the 1991 robbery of an armored vehicle. No one had been hurt, but Mitchell, facing a conviction for armed robbery, was looking at spending most of the rest of his life in prison. The forensic evidence that linked him to the getaway car was the toughest sort to beat: two fingerprints lifted from the steering wheel and the gearshift. Mitchell's only hope was to undermine the credibility of the world's most widely trusted form of forensic proof. It was this endeavor that brought him to a federal courtroom in Philadelphia on a sweltering July morning, where he sat surrounded by four earnestprove it. As far back as the fourteenth century, the Persian historian Rashid ad-Din, reporting the use of fingerprints as signatures in China, declared that "experience shows that no two individuals have fingers precisely alike." At the beginning of the modern era of fingerprinting, John S. Billings, a U.S. Army physician, declared, "Just as each individual is in some respects peculiar and unique, so... even the minute ridges and furrows at the end of his forefingers differ from that of all other forefingers and is [sic] sufficient to identify."
The first person to fashion a statistical foundation for this assumption was the British gentleman scientist Sir Francis Galton. He calculated the probability that any two fingerprints would resemble each other in all particulars as one in sixty-four billion. Galton

and in opposition to the motion was heard on June 7, 1994 at which time the Court reserved decision and directed the parties to supply the Court with the transcript from the argument and also the transcript of the Debtor's 341 meeting of creditors ("341 Meeting").[1] The transcript from the June 7, 1994 hearing was supplied to the Court on February 9, 1995.
The Debtor's request for conversion or dismissal of the within Petition comes on the heels of the 341 Meeting wherein the Trustee alluded to the fact that a sale of the Debtor's real estate was imminent. Real estate holdings that at first were not to be found within *342 the confines of the Petition. A review of the Debtor's chapter 7 Petition, filed on August 5,341 Meeting the Debtor was advised by the Trustee that numerous errors existed in the Petition as filed. The 341 Meeting was adjourned and the Debtor contemplated rectifying the "numerous errors." At the adjourned 341 Meeting, it became apparent to the Debtor, as per the Trustee, that real estate owned by the Debtor would have to be sold. In the interests of retaining any equity that might exist, the Debtor indicated that he would exercise his option and either convert or dismiss his Petition.
With no applications or motions before the Court to the contrary, on December 14, 1993, the Debtor received his chapter 7 discharge in the usual course of business. Unfortunately Debtor and Debtor's counsel believed that their expression to the Trustee of an intent to do

U.S. navy and air force forays through waters it claims as its own, especially this month, when U.S. Navy Admiral Scott Swift said he joined a routine surveillance flight.
The United States has also stepped up military contacts, including drills, with regional allies such as the Philippines, which also has claims in the South China Sea.
The United States was hyping up the "China threat" and attempting to sow discord between China and other claimant countries, Defence Ministry spokesman Yang Yujun told a monthly news briefing.
"China is extremely concerned at the United States' pushing of the militarization of the South China Sea region," he said.
"What they are doing can't help but make people wonder whether they want nothing better than chaos."
For a long time, the United States had carried outfrequent, widespread, close-in surveillance of China, by sending ships and aircraft to the region, he added.
"Recently they have further increased military alliances and their military presence, frequently holding joint drills."
But if certain U.S. officials wanted to take civilian flights over the South China Sea to "enjoy its beauty", China had no problem with that, he said.
China's own drills there are a normal part of its routine military exercises and not aimed at any third party, Yang said.
But he expressed concern at reports that Filipino fishermen had found buoys with Chinese markings near the disputed Scarborough Shoal and towed them back to shore northwest of Manila.
"If these reports are correct, then certain people have elbowed their way into somebody else's home, and taken others' possessions."

head coach in 15 months, does not believe he has accepted a salvage mission less than 12 months out from the beginning of the World Cup to be hosted by England.
"I don't think it's a rescue job whatsoever ... everyone needs to clear their heads a little bit, remember what we're here to do," he said.
Cheika believes the Wallabies have the talent to make an impact at the World Cup.
"There's a lot of players that still need to rise to their full potential and that's the job of the coach," he said.
Cheika says discussions with the ARU had taken place over a couple of days, as he felt it was important they could show confidence in each other.
"At the end of the day it's the opportunity to coachyour country," he said.
"When that opportunity calls it's the one that says [to me] I'm going to come and see if I can help."
Cheika made a point of acknowledging former Randwick team-mate McKenzie, both for his work in charge of the Wallabies and his support while he had been coach of the Waratahs.
Australian Rugby Union (ARU) chief executive Bill Pulver says Cheika was the only candidate he spoke to about taking over from McKenzie.
Pulver is confident Cheika will get the Wallabies players to play with "plenty of heart, conviction and pride in the jersey".
"We believe Michael Cheika is the man to lead Australia to victory at next year's World Cup," he said.
The Wallabies will begin their European tour with a fixture against the Barbarians at Twickenham on November

dry and prone to barking in the long arc of the second act. As with Dyka, an over-reliance on broad, old-school operatic gesture meant that the dark chemistry between their two characters never truly ignited, and very nearly tipped the death-scene into risible melodrama.
Unsurprisingly, the finest singing of the evening by far came from Roberto Alagna's Cavaradossi, golden-toned and ardent, and lacking only the last degree of nuance to be truly sensational. If this production has seen more mesmerisingly introspective accounts of "E lucevan le stelle", he was tender and mellifluous in the love-music, and packed quite a punch on his famous outburst of "Vittoria!" in Act Two. Dramatically, he was perhaps more convincing as the exuberant young lover of the first act than the defiant political prisonerof the last two; but his acting was unfailingly committed throughout, despite Ms. Dyka's apparent awkwardness in the love scenes.
On an evening where two-thirds of the central triumvirate were dramatically inert, it was a pleasure to see the smaller roles so beautifully characterised. Michel de Souza's furtive, desperate Angelotti, Michael Clayton-Jolly's suitably unmanicured Shepherd Boy and Jeremy White's ebullient veteran Sacristan all excelled.
At the helm, conductor Oleg Caetani never seemed fully in control. Much of the edginess of the early scenes spoke of poor stage-pit co-ordination rather than dramatic intention, and the three principals often appeared to be playing catch-up (most noticeably in the curiously rushed opening of "Vissi d'arte", though it was unclear whether It was actually Caetani or Dyka doing the pushing here).

She had given an equivocal answer to Agent Wolpert's request to look in her bag, responding only that she had to make a call. The agents remained, waiting for a more definite answer. Williams could have left without giving any answer. The fact that she stayed does not create a de facto arrest.
