has helped their teaching. "Paul and I have been writing songs together, and his lyrical expertise and my knowledge of throwing songs together, that's what we were hoping to pass on to the students," said Harding, who has recorded 17 albums, most recently "The Sound of His Own Voice."
In the Atelier, the students wrote a new song each week, working with a different small group. "We would take a particular theme that's based on some kind of emotional charge — it might be jealousy, it might be anger, it might be joy, it might be defiance, whatever it might be, revenge — and just allow the students to go to town on that, and it's worked out fabulously well," Muldoon said. He estimated that the class wrote 60to 70 songs over the semester.
For an assignment on tapping into loneliness, senior Maia ten Brink, a psychology major who is earning a certificate in creative writing, said she was inspired to write a song about the moon being in love with the Earth. "The Earth just kind of ignores it, and the moon just keeps going around and around, but the Earth is in love with the sun," she said.
Muldoon said an important aspect of the course was teaching the students how to critique each other's work. "We educated them about how to talk about songs," he said. "We created a very caring climate and told them, 'This is a place where you can be creative.' Wes and I could go away and the class could continue,"

Neulreich at the time of the first hearing was sixty years of age. In 1919, at the age of thirty-one, he started at his work for the Transport Company and, with the exception of eighteen months from 1925 to 1927 when he was employed in Milwaukee industrial plants, he continued until contracting an acute illness in 1947.
The court has recognized prolonged exposure to silica as a causative factor in producing disability. In Zurich Gen. Acc. & L. Ins. Co. v. Industrial Comm. (1930), 203 Wis. 135, 142, 233 N. W. 772, it was stated:

The first question is still up for debate, though the candidates are different a month into the season, but the second question has been answered. Now the biggest talking point around the league is clear: The Big Ten has been the best league in the country through the first month-plus of the season.

State in East Lansing, then beat Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. They got freshman guard Cassius Stanley back from injury, even though he managed only seven minutes against the Hokies. The one positive for his two-game absence was Duke's being forced to find bench guys to step up, and Joey Baker and Jordan Goldwire answered the bell. Baker hit double figures in two of the past three games, and Goldwire added a different dimension defensively, racking up eight steals in three games.

Fortunately for Bruce Pearl's team, they continued to dominate the offensive glass and got another stellar performance from freshman Isaac Okoro. Okoro had 18 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, marking his seventh double-figure game this season.
11. Virginia Cavaliers (7-1)
Previous ranking: 6
This week: NONE
The Cavaliers had a mixed week, getting dominated by Purdue and scoring only 40 points in the process. It was the third straight game in which Virginia scored fewer than 50 points. But the Cavaliers bounced back with a nine-point home win over North Carolina, a win that looks better on paper than in reality, given the Tar Heels' recent

Mario's iconic voice was made up on the spot 27 years ago in a moment of mild panic, Martinet says.
A crashed audition, a supersized role
After getting a last-minute tip about an audition, Martinet showed up at the studio unannounced and was almost rejected before he even got through the door.
"And then there I was, being an actor, doing what actors do, waiting for the phone to ring, and a friend of mine said, 'Go crash this audition,'" said Martinet, who jokingly says he became an actor "by accident."
"As I was walking into the building, the producer, director and camera guy were walking out the door."
The director grumbled and checked his watch, but apparently took pityon an eager Martinet. He turned around and let him audition for the role of what was dubbed "an Italian plumber from Brooklyn."
The director told to him to "make up a voice, start talking and when you run out of things to say, that's your audition," Martinet said.
Martinet knew nothing about video games, but started rambling on with the thickest Italian accent he could muster, and "talked for 30 minutes until the tape ran out," he said.
American voice actor Charles Martinet has been the voice of Mario for 27 years. (GoNintendo) He thought he bombed that audition 27 years ago, but he's been the voice of Mario ever since.

On June 19, 1990, Appellant Lopez ("Lopez") was charged in District Court with possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, and conspiracy to possess cocaine. In September 1991 he was tried and convicted on all counts; he was sentenced in January of the following year. Throughout the trial and sentencing, Lopez was represented by A. Scott Miller ("Miller"). With new counsel, Lopez appealed. The conviction was affirmed.

Lopez later learned that the grand jury investigating him had also investigated Miller. On January 12, 1994, Miller pleaded guilty to money laundering and other charges. Lopez moved to vacate his own sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (permitting collateral attack on convictions).

Beirut (GPA) – During his visit with US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, Lebanese President Michael Aoun reportedly received a US-Israeli document detailing plans for creating a civil war in Lebanon with covert false flag operations and possible Israeli invasion.
Although the source of the document is Israeli and created in partnership with Washington, no one knows who presented it to Aoun. The Lebanese TV station, Al-Jadeed, initially reported the document on Lebanese TV and a video on its website. Geopolitics Alert translated the report for this article.

He set his glass of scotch on the counter. With slow movements, he reached inside his jacket and he withdrew something nearly as big as his hand. After he placed it on the counter, he slid it over to me, stopping midway, and removing his hand. The object was a paperback book. What the hell?
I stared at the book half expecting it to jump out at me. After all, I had five shots of strong vodka in me. What did he think I would do? Read it?

"Ruby Sparks" Finds a Writer in Love With His Come-to-Life Female Character
Paul Dano and screenwriter Zoe Kazan star in this film from Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Farris ("Little Miss Sunshine"), about a novelist who writes into life the girl of his dreams. Opens July 25. (Published Monday, July 2, 2012)
No one could have conjured a character like Zoe Kazan out of thin air.
As her familiar surname suggests, Kazan is the latest talent to emerge from the line of show business luminaries, including her grandfather, director Elia Kazan (“A Streetcar Named Desire”), her father, screenwriter Nicholas Kazan (“Reversal of Fortune”) and her mother, writer-director Robin Swicord (“Memoirs of a Geisha”).

their party accountable.
When pressed on whether she agreed with claims the primary process had been rigged, the senator, who ultimately endorsed Clinton over Sanders at the end of the 2016 Democratic primary, said "Yes."
Do you agree with the notion that the DNC was rigged in Hillary Clinton's favor?
Elizabeth Warren: Yes https://t.co/TIoytO15Ca pic.twitter.com/TjkBS0mbB8 — The Lead CNN (@TheLeadCNN) November 2, 2017
Brazile accused the Clinton campaign of a "secret takeover of the DNC" in her book and a Politico op-ed released this week, contending that "if the fight (between Clinton and Sanders) had been fair, one campaign would not have control of the party before the voters had decided which one they wanted to lead."
Trump previously revived his nickname for Warren in a late June interview with Fox & Friends,calling the senator a "hopeless case" and arguing she has "got a lot of hatred, a lot of anger."
"I call her Pocahontas, and that's an insult to Pocahontas," he added.
The Republican repeatedly referred to Warren -- one of his most outspoken critics -- as "Pocahontas" throughout his 2016 campaign. The nickname is a nod to a 2012 Senate campaign controversy surrounding Warren's Native American heritage claims

Daniel surely knows english. I´m also sure he can read simple books in english, maybe he don´t understand every word, but at least the sense. Probably he can communicate with people, who ask him for the way or whatever. But I guess, when they talk about Daniel´s poor english, they mean, that he´s not fluent, doesn´t know too many words, makes grammar mistakes, and that he can´t express himself in english the way he does in swedish.
Daniel had only a "2" after his last year on high school (compareable to a "D" or maybe "D+") on his report card. So it seems he isn´t a person, who can learn a language(s) easily...or maybe he was really

Guzzo appeared regularly on KIRO-TV and KIRO (AM) radio, where he was also an editorial consultant. In 1986, a commentary attacking rock music fans caught the attention of the Seattle crossover thrash band The Dehumanizers. In response the group recorded a satirical song "Kill Lou Guzzo" on their debut 7" EP.[3] The record used unauthorized audio clips from Guzzo's TV editorial. Group members later received a cease and desist letter from KIRO and Guzzo.[4]
He had several e-books published, and has had numerous speeches, talks, and commentaries posted to YouTube. After his retirement from KIRO, Guzzo maintained a website where he continued to write a daily commentary on current events. He was a resident of Newcastle, Washington. Guzzo died in 2013 at the age of 94.[5]a farm in Augusta County, Virginia, George Caleb Bingham was the second of seven children that Mary Amend (1789-1851) bore with her husband Henry Vest Bingham (1784-1823). Upon their marriage, Mary's father Matthias Amend gave the Binghams ownership of the family mill, land, and several slaves with the agreement that Matthias could live with the family for the rest of his life. Henry Bingham offered the land and mill as surety for a friend's debt and, when the friend died in 1818, all was lost. In 1819, the Bingham family (including grandfather Amend) moved to Franklin, Howard County, Missouri on the Missouri River near the state's center as well as the eastern terminus of the Santa Fe Trail, "where the land was said to be bountiful, fertile

as shepherd. He would represent Dumuzi, her sacred lover.
Inanna and Dumuzi
Eanna and Dumuzi create the Tree of Life
Mesopotamian cylinder seal. Marble. About 3200-3000 BCE. Dumuzi in net skirt (symbolizes grids) feeding sheep.
Inanna's standards ("gateposts") that frame the image suggest
that the event is happening inside her temple grounds.
Dumuzid or Dumuzi, called "the Shepherd", from Bad-tibira in Sumer, was, according to the Sumerian King List, the fifth predynastic king in the legendary period before the Deluge. The list further states that Dumuzid ruled for 36,000 years.
"Dumuzid the Shepherd" is also the subject of a series of epic poems in Sumerian literature. However, he is described in these tablets as king of Uruk, the title given by the King List to Dumuzid the Fisherman - a distinct figure said to haveruled sometime after the Flood, in between Lugalbanda "the Shepherd" and Gilgamesh.
Among the mythical compositions involving Dumuzid the Shepherd are:
Inanna's descent to the netherworld: Inanna, after descending to the underworld, is allowed to return, but only with an unwanted entourage of demons, who insist on taking away a notable person in her place. She dissuades the demons from taking the rulers of Umma and Bad-tibira, who are sitting in dirt and rags. However, when they come to Uruk, they find Dumuzid the Shepherd sitting in palatial opulence, and seize him immediately, taking him into the underworld as Inanna's substitute.
Dumuzid and Ngeshtin-ana: Inanna gives Dumuzid over to the demons as her substitute; they proceed to violate him, but he escapes to the home of his sister, Ngeshtin-ana (Geshtinanna). The

demons pursue Dumuzid there, and eventually find him hiding in the pasture.
Dumuzid and his sister: Fragmentary. Dumuzid's sister seems to be mourning his death in this tablet.
Dumuzid's dream: In this account, Dumuzid dreams of his own death and tells Ngeshtin-ana, who tells him it is a sign that he is about to be toppled in an uprising by evil and hungry men (also described as galla, 'demons') who are coming to Uruk for the king. No sooner does she speak this, than men of Adab, Akshak, Uruk, Ur, and Nibru are indeed sighted coming for him with clubs. Dumuzid resolves to hide in the district of Alali, but they finally catch him. He escapes from them and reaches to the district of Kubiresh, but they catch him again.Escaping again to the house of Old Woman Belili, he is again caught, but then escapes once more to his sister's home. There he is caught a last time, hiding in the pasture, and killed.
Inanna and Bilulu: This describes how Inanna avenges her lover Dumuzid's death, by killing Old Woman Bilulu (or Belili).
In a chart of antediluvian generations in Babylonian and Biblical traditions, William Wolfgang Hallo associates Dumuzid with the composite half-man, half-fish counselor or culture hero (Apkallu) An-Enlilda, and suggests an equivalence between Dumuzid and Enoch in the Sethite Genealogy given in Genesis chapter 5
Dumuzi would later play the role of Zoroaster among others Inanna would play Isis and Ishtar, among others.

the nether-world, and who stands at the head of the special pantheon assigned to the government of the dead (supposed to be gathered in a large subterranean cave known as Aralu or Irkalla). In this capacity he has associated with him a goddess Allatu or Ereshkigal, though at one time Allatu may have functioned as the sole mistress of Aralu, ruling in her own person. In some texts the god Ninazu is the son of Nergal by Allatu/Ereshkigal.
Ordinarily Nergal pairs with his consort Laz. Standard iconography pictured Nergal as a lion, and boundary-stone monuments symbolise him with a mace surmounted by the head of a lion.
Nergal's fiery aspect appears in names or epithets such as Lugalgira, Sharrapu ("the burner," perhaps a mere epithet), Erra, Gibil (though this namemore properly belongs to Nusku), and Sibitti. A certain confusion exists in cuneiform literature between Ninurta and Nergal. Nergal has epithets such as the "raging king," the "furious one," and the like. A play upon his name separated into three elements as Ne-uru-gal (lord of the great dwelling) expresses his position at the head of the nether-world pantheon.
In the astral-theological system Nergal becomes the planet Mars, while in ecclesiastical art the great lion-headed colossi serving as guardians to the temples and palaces seem to symbolise Nergal, just as the bull-headed colossi probably typify Ninurta.
Nergal's chief temple at Cuthah bore the name Meslam, from which the god receives the designation of Meslamtaeda or Meslamtaea, "the one that rises up from Meslam". The name Meslamtaeda/Meslamtaea indeed is found as early

to this period that we must trace such designations of Sin as "father of the gods", "chief of the gods", "creator of all things", and the like. The "wisdom" personified by the moon-god is likewise an expression of the science of astronomy or the practice of astrology, in which the observation of the moon's phases is an important factor.
His wife was Ningal ("Great Lady"), who bore him Utu/Shamash ("Sun") and Inanna/Ishtar (the goddess of the planet Venus). The tendency to centralize the powers of the universe leads to the establishment of the doctrine of a triad consisting of Sin/Nanna and his children.
Sin had a beard made of lapis lazuli and rode on a winged bull. The bull was one of his symbols, through his father, Enlil, "Bull ofHeaven", along with the crescent and the tripod (which may be a lamp-stand). On cylinder seals, he is represented as an old man with a flowing beard and the crescent symbol. In the astral-theological system he is represented by the number 30 and the moon. This number probably refers to the average number of days (correctly around 29.53) in a lunar month, as measured between successive new moons.
An important Sumerian text ("Enlil and Ninlil") tells of the descent of Enlil and Ninlil, pregnant with Nanna/Suen, into the underworld. There, three "substitutions" are given to allow the ascent of Nanna/Suen. The story shows some similarities to the text known as "The Descent of Inanna".

Ur that the role of the En Priestess developed. This was an extremely powerful role held by a princess, most notably Enheduanna, daughter of King Sargon of Akkad, and was the primary cult role associated with the cult of Nanna/Sin. Sin also had a sanctuary at Harran, named E-khul-khul ("house of joys"). The cult of the moon-god spread to other centers, so that temples to him are found in all the large cities of Babylonia and Assyria. A sanctuary for Sin with Syriac inscriptions invoking his name dating to the 2nd and 3rd centuries CE was found at Sumatar Harabesi in the Tektek mountains, not far from Harran and Edessa.

vs. Buffalo Bills 17 Take one overzealous near-300-pounder, sprinkle in a pesky, no-quit wide receiver and add about 70 yards of open, green turf and you have the recipe for one of the NFL's most ignominious moments. With nothing but the end zone in front of him, Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman Leon Lett celebrated a bit prematurely, allowing a hustling Don Beebe to dislodge the ball, with the resulting safety relegating Lett's unlikely record run to new fodder for NFL blooper reels. In the grand scheme of things, the play wasinconsequential to the final outcome -- a 35-point drubbing by Dallas -- but the moment hangs in the rafters with other infamous NFL bungles (hello, "Butt Fumble").

about the terrier, named Charlie, and his poor condition in August 2016.
However, when an inspector attended Thomson's Sefton Park home, she showed them her two other dogs — one of which was slightly underweight.
The inspector gave her some feeding advice and left.
It was not until a second complaint was made about two weeks later that an inspector reattended and found Charlie, who appeared emaciated with his ribs, hips and spine clearly visible.
A court heard RSPCA officers were first called to Nancy Jane Thomson's Sefton Park home in August, 2016. ( Supplied: RSPCA )
The court also heard that Charlie's claws were so long that they had curled all the way around and were embedded into his feet pads, causing him significant pain and making it difficult for him tostand.
Magistrate Paul Foley ordered Thomson to serve a three-month suspended sentence and pay $6,425.78 in vet and boarding costs sought by the RSPCA.
"I'm not sure having sat for a number of years now and dealt with a number of these cases that I've seen an animal in poorer condition than this one," he said.
"I regard this as one of the most serious examples of neglect that I have seen.
"He was literally skin and bone, there is no flesh to be seen on the dog whatsoever."
Nancy Jane Thomson pleaded guilty to two counts of ill-treating an animal. ( ABC News: Rebecca Opie )
Outside court, RSPCA Inspector Cheryl Doudle said when Charlie was seized he looked like a "walking skeleton".

present motion requests that this Court re-admit Nicholas at Phillips Academy until the resolution of the underlying litigation. For the reasons below, the Court grants plaintiffs' motion.
FACTS
Before he was forced to withdraw, Nicholas was a senior at Phillips Academy. Nicholas had attended Phillips Academy since the ninth grade and was hoping to graduate with his class this spring. By all accounts Nicholas is a very bright student he scored a 1410 on the SAT and he was a National Merit Scholarship Finalist. Despite his innate intelligence, however, Nicholas struggled with the Academy's academic requirements, maintaining a cumulative C average and flunking four classes in his first three years. Based on Nicholas' performance, Phillips Academy asked Nicholas' parents to voluntarily withdraw Nicholas after his freshman year, sophomore year,and junior year.
It is disputed as to when Phillips Academy was told that Nicholas had Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder ("ADHD"), but no later than at the start of his junior year, Ms. Axelrod informed Phillips Academy that *48 Nicholas had been diagnosed with ADHD. ADHD is a learning disorder. Nicholas manifests ADHD by his continuing problems with attention to, organization of, and planning for his academic assignments. When Ms. Axelrod informed Phillips Academy of Nicholas' ADHD, she provided a letter from Dr. Larry Seidman to Phillips Academy. Dr. Seidman's letter recommended several steps to be made by Phillips Academy that might help Nicholas to succeed, including: one-to-one instruction; avoiding cramming for exams; breaking up assignments into smaller projects; pairing less interesting assignments with more interesting assignments; creating a distraction-free

Nicholas' not having available the holiday period in which to complete a more carefully drafted final paper.
Again, it is noted that the final paper, although carelessly done and lacking the incorporation of Ms. Moore's comments on his draft paper, was timely submitted and received a passing grade. And again he did receive a passing grade for the course.
If the reasonable accommodation of allowing Nicholas extra time to complete his two post November 21 paper assignments had been granted, the extra time requested by Dr. Seidman, of which request Ms. Moore had not been made aware by the administration of Phillips Academy, Nicholas would have demonstrated "a clear effort to meet the only remaining requirements" warranting the removal of the "U."
The Court believes that it is reasonably probable thatthe apparent lack of effort on Nicholas' part was a natural and probable consequence of his learning disorder, rather than an unwillingness to complete his poor, but passing, paper assignments on time. Since his failure to meet his assignment deadlines could reasonably be found to have been caused by his learning disability, Ms. Moore, in accordance with her statement to Ms. Axelrod, should have reasonably "reversed" the "U" for effort.
If Nicholas had failed Ms. Moore's course, which he did not, or if he had been a disciplinary problem, which he was not, this would have been a different case. The Court grants this preliminary injunction because the Court is deeply troubled that Nicholas was expelled from Phillips Academy after the first trimester of his senior year for his

They drove from Buffalo to the Freeman residence in Teague, arriving at about 11:00 p.m. on Friday evening. Christina said that her mother "gave Robert a big hug" and they talked like nothing had happened. She said that her stepfather did not talk to her that night and her sister "just did her own thing." Teer and her mother talked late into the night while Christina slept on a pallet in the same room.
The next morning, Teer asked Christina to find out if a warrant wasstill outstanding. She tried to call Detective Alston, but "couldn't get through." She said that Teer's father arrived and was "really upset about everything, he was crying, and haggling [Teer], and just really scared about what had happened." He stayed about twenty minutes, then left in the car that they had used during the three days, taking the gun with him. Later, she called Detective Alston and made arrangements with him for Teer and her to "come in [the next] Monday" and to bring the gun with them.
Christina said that, although she had told Teer during the three-day trip that they would "get back together," she intended to return to the Family Abuse Center. She called the Center to say that she wanted to return. Detective Alston called

DETROIT – U.S. and state representatives called on a Bloomfield, Michigan, church – whose pastor has called himself an Islamophobe – to cancel an anti-Muslim event planned around this week's 9/11 anniversary.
Bloomfield Hills Baptist Church will host a two-day event called "9/11 forgotten? Is Michigan surrendering to Islam?" on Sept. 11-12.
The Free Press was unable to reach Bloomfield Hills Baptist by email or phone. The church's pastor, Donald McKay, told Fox 2 last week that "Islam is a growing threat in the United States of America," and that although he doesn't speak for his church, "we don't hate Muslims, we hate the ideology they are identified with."
"I am an Islamophobe, I wear that badge proudly," McKay told Fox 2.
The church's event includes a Sept. 11 talk titled "Howevent flyer.pdf
Man requests TRUMP vanity license plate:Sweden rejects it, calls it 'offensive'
News of the event drew condemnation from Michigan politicians and organizations.
Dawud Walid, executive director of Michigan's Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) chapter, said the anti-Islam rhetoric the church promotes is "troubling," especially in light of the frequency of hate crimes against Muslims.
"Though we believe that houses of worship have the right to preach their doctrine, we find it incredibly irresponsible for a church to invite someone who has the objective of spewing clear anti-Muslim bigotry," Walid told the Free Press.
In a joint statement on the issue, U.S. Democratic Reps. Andy Levin and Debbie Dingell said there is "no place for hate in Metro Detroit, in Michigan or anywhere in the United States."

Pilar Manjón, pictured with the quilt created using clothes that belonged to her son, who died in the 11-M attacks. Zipi / EFE
Pilar Manjón points to an enormous patchwork quilt on display at the Cervantes Institute in Madrid. “This one's mine,” she explains emotionally. “I made it with my son Daniel's clothes. I used the two sweaters of his that I liked the most, and his jeans."
Daniel Paz Manjón was 20 years old when he died in the terrorist attacks in Madrid, on March 11, 2004. He was inside the commuter train that exploded at El Pozo station.
The quilt is part of an exhibition commemorating the 10th anniversary of the attacks, which killed 191 people and injured 1,858. The bombings mark the second-largest terrorist attack on European soilvisits by victims of the attacks. Singer-songwriters who have written songs about the tragedy will also be performing: Abel Álvarez (on the 12th), Kike Marcos (13th), Iguana Tango (14th) and Stafas (15th).
The show also incorporates 30 prints by the political cartoonists Forges and El Roto, among others. There are a few donated paintings as well, including one given to the association by the attorney at the 11-M trial, Olga Sánchez.
One unique item in the exhibition is a letter written and donated by Luis Iriondo, a survivor of the Luftwaffe air raid against Gernika in 1937 – he was 13 at the time:
"And there came to us some men from other lands, who did not know us. Who did not even hate us because we hadn't done anything to

public and high-profile supporter of the "Help for Heroes" charity. Yet, on the other hand, he is the embodiment of the boy racer syndrome that is killing and maiming "Our Brave Boys", and not at all ill-disposed actively to co-operate with the Army in projecting the "gung ho" image that is doing so much damage.
What applies to the media – and its celebs who line up to be photographed with the injured (pictured – Ben Parkinson with "soccer star" John Terry) – also applies, in spades, to the political classes, and especially the Conservative Party. Under the leadership of David Cameron, it has quite deliberately set its face against rigorously pursuing "hard-edged" issues such as equipment performance and instead has concentrated on the more "compassionate" topics such asup in the situation where the "bleeding heart" feminised agenda of the popular media, lacking a political lead, drenches itself in the suffering of "Our Brave Boys" taking relatively little interest in preventing that suffering in the first place.
This speaks of a society where values and priorities are distorted and where maudlin sentimentality is overtaking hard-edged realism, doing more damage than enough. It wears its heart on its sleeve, proclaiming its compassion to the world, turning a blind eye to measures which could mitigate the very suffering it so deplores. Whichever way you look at it, this is not a healthy society.
Two more deaths have been added to the growing list of fatalities arising out of operations in Afghanistan. According to the MoD, one was a soldier from

"It's insufferable, for Christ's sake," raged one of the Americans present. "He comes in and lectures everyone in the room about how to do counter-insurgency. The guys were just rolling their eyebrows [as] the notorious Northern Ireland came up again."
Littered with military acronyms with obscure technical data, North's prose rarely rises above the utilitarian, while the crop of footnotes on practically every page reflects his heavy reliance on published sources (it appears he did not interview any of the senior military and political players, British or American).
He might also have examined more closely whether the strategic, tactical and organisational failures he identifies in Iraq are being perpetrated in Afghanistan.
It is hardly reassuring when an acute shortage of helicopters obliges the"the most comfortable in the world".
Thomas Harding in The Daily Telegraph is reporting that the major British offensive in Afghanistan (Panther's Claw) that has led to a large loss of life and many wounded "has strengthened Britain's battered relationship with America".
This is according to a "senior defence source" who is telling us that: "It has shown that other people are making the sacrifice and sharing the burden. American has been through their Golgotha moment and they admire a country that steps up to the plate and does the heavy lifting."
Once again, it seems, the shadow of Iraq looms, with the British Army highly sensitive about its performance there, even if it is holding the line with its public pretence that the campaign was successful. A big "push" in

Martine Landry said she did nothing wrong.
In fact, the 73-year-old human rights activist said she would do it again.
"I'm going to continue," Landry told Al Jazeera in a telephone interview from Menton, a town in southeastern France near the border with Italy.
"I know I'm within my rights and I want to assert my rights."
But Landry said those rights were put in question during an incident last July.
According to the activist, she was standing on the French side of the Menton-Vintimille border crossing between France and Italy when she witnessed Italian police forcibly return two young men to French territory.
{articleGUID}
She said she took that to indicate the pair were minors who had been in France before setting foot in Italy, which means "it's up to the French to takecare of their protection".
She waited for the teenagers - whom she later learned were both 15-year-old Guinean asylum seekers - to cross into France and then walked them to a border police station nearby, she said.
There, she said, she helped the children deliver a written document requesting they be placed in the custody of France's child welfare agency, which is where they remain.
Under French law, the agency is required to take underage, foreign nationals who enter France unaccompanied into its care, Landry said.
"The police is obliged [to do that] because it's the law," she added. "There is absolutely nothing illegal in that."
'Emblematic' case
But Landry, who works with the French branch of Amnesty International and Anafe, a group that provides assistance to foreign nationals at French borders, now faces

criminal charges for her actions.
She is accused of "having aided the entry of two foreign minors in an irregular situation", Amnesty said last month, a criminal charge that comes with a maximum five-year prison term and 30,000 euro (about $37,000) fine.
"I didn't facilitate [their] entry, I didn't cross the border with them," she said. "I simply brought them to the police station, which is what I was meant to do."
Her next court hearing is set for Wednesday in Nice.
Landry's case is "emblematic" of a wider crackdown aimed at preventing French citizens from helping asylum seekers, said Laure Palun, general coordinator of Anafe, the organisation that helps foreigners arriving at France's borders.
In the area of Menton, in France's Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region, at least a dozen people have been chargedfor aiding asylum seekers and minors, while another 40 people have been charged in the French Alps, Palun told Al Jazeera.
"Instead of respecting its own legislation ... the state's response is to intimidate and put pressure on activists and those who are acting to defend human rights," she said.
Cedric Herrou, a French farmer and activist, was given a four-month, suspended jail sentence last year for aiding asylum seekers over the Italian border and inside France, where he has provided them with shelter, food and transportation.
A 2012 French law provides an exemption to the law against aiding foreigners in irregular situations in "humanitarian and selfless" cases.
However Palun said that since the French government declared a state of emergency in 2015, following a string of deadly attacks in Paris, it

Excluding the impact of the lost customer, revenue from the business, which makes SSDs used in PCs and laptops, jumped 55 percent.
"What is encouraging is that client SSD is doing well while the PC market is not doing very well," said Sterne Agee CRT analyst Douglas Freedman. "You are seeing clear share gains from SSDs against hard drives in the PC market."

court of Macoupin County confirmed the decision of the Commission. An appeal was taken pursuant to Rule 302(a). 73 Ill.2d R. 302(a).
The claimant had been employed by the respondent, Monterey Coal Company (Monterey), except for a brief respite, since June 1972. He participated in the strike of the United Mineworkers of America, of which he was a member, which occurred from December 6, 1977, to March 27, 1978. The day the strike ended, March 27, 1978, the claimant returned to work for Monterey. On that day the claimant injured his knee while in the process of placing bolts in a roof.
The only issue raised on appeal is whether the claimant's average weekly earnings should be computed to include the 16 weeks spent on strike. Section 10 of theWorkmen's Compensation Act is the applicable provision. It states in pertinent part:
*336 "The basis for computing the compensation provided for in Sections 7 and 8 of the Act shall be as follows:
(a) The compensation shall be computed on the basis of the annual earnings which the injured person received as salary, wages or earnings if in the employment of the same employer continuously during the year next preceding the injury.
(b) Employment by the same employer shall be taken to mean employment by the same employer in the grade in which the employee was employed at the time of the accident, uninterrupted by absence from work due to illness or any other unavoidable cause." Ill. Rev. Stat. 1977, ch. 48, par. 138.10.

am pursuing for the prize of the upward calling of God in Christ Jesus.Paul repeats that he has not already laid hold of whatever he is talking about. In contrast, he is reaching out to “the things head,” presumably in the future. This goal provides a focus for his way forward. The things ahead contrast with the things behind, presumably things he has mentioned earlier as potentially having been to his advantage but that he is now considering “loss” and “dung.”
The prize he mentions is perhaps the goal or closely related to the goal he has had in mind throughout. This prize is “the upward calling,” which would connect most closely to resurrection as that which he is reaching out toward and that he has not yet alreadyHe sees a key to Mark's presentation in the idea of Jesus as an example for the disciples to follow and the emphasis on the disciples' failure as an encouragement to his readers.

He points to the differences between the two stories as an indication that the story had been around in different verses at least a decade before they were written (the 60s). Further, he takes Mark 6:3's reference to Mary as his mother as a hint that slurs about Jesus may have been around even earlier.
Basically, H finds it ludicrous that someone would think it honored Jesus to depict him like a pagan "god impregnates woman" story. Further, he argues that any slurs against

Mary probably came from claims about Jesus' birth rather than claims about Jesus' birth coming from the slurs.
"All this means that the most likely provenance for the idea that Jesus was conceived miraculously by God's Spirit is in circles of Jewish Christians and/or mixed Gentile and Jewish Christian circles that preferred to articulate their faith in Jesus in the idioms and conceptual categories of Jewish tradition" (328).
In another section, H treats Matthew's postresurrection narrative. He notes Jesus' cosmic authority in 28:18 (331). "The promise of continued presence 'till the close of the age' demands that Jesus be regarded as having divine power" (332). He then treats Matthew's 5 discourses. Jesus' lament over Jerusalem "reflects a view of him acting in capacities that are divine" (336).

been lifted, according to The Florida News Journal.
News of the outage spread quickly via Twitter and other outlets. The FAA said that problems affecting United's airport computers seemed to be largely resolved by 5:30 p.m. EDT, but many passengers will see their travels disrupted well into Tuesday night — particularly with many Gulf Coast-area airports closed because of Hurricane Isaac.
United's main website was down for part of Tuesday afternoon. At 6:05 p.m. EDT, the airline tweeted, "The website is up, but not fully functional." The message also thanked passengers for their patience. Elsewhere on Twitter, passengers were reporting offers to book new flights at no added cost.
According to NPR's David Schaper, the problems stemmed from the airline's reservation and booking system. But because the same system also controlsboarding passes, flight check-in and other functions, the outage had a widespread effect that left United passengers stranded at many airports.
In Denver, where the city's airport is one of United's main hubs, The Denver Post's Kristen Leigh Painter spoke to several people who had been stranded. One was Bruce Rehburg, a passenger who said he'd been sitting on a plane in Houston's airport for more than an hour and a half.
"The pilot told passengers that he knows the computer is safe and ready for takeoff, but the technology is locked," Painter writes. " 'We are ready to go, and now in the age of computers, we can't take off,' Rehburg said."

been the result? In a 2012 analysis, researchers at the University of Washington's Center on Reinventing Public Education noted that school systems in Washington state failed to move aggressively, even when armed with millions in federal school turnaround dollars. The researchers observed that school systems almost uniformly spent the funds on more staff, time, and professional development, and "approach[ed] the work on turnaround in ways...only marginally different from past school improvement efforts."
Researchers blamed many factors, "including politics, fear of controversy, lack of knowledge, and the constraints of collective bargaining." These led school and system leaders to favor "incremental additions to ongoing activities" rather than new, potentially transformative measures. The findings were reminiscent of those from an extensive evaluation of the federal Comprehensive School Reform program, which provided fundingschools are led and what teachers do. More than two decades since the enactment of the first charter-school law, this promise has not been realized.
Here too, the gap between promise and reality is explained in large part by the gap between policy and implementation. There are 6,000 charter schools in America, and the vast majority of them simply have not taken advantage of their unique autonomy. The National Center on School Choice at Vanderbilt University reported in 2011 that the role of charter-school principals "was not significantly different" from that of traditional district principals. Researchers at the reform-minded non-profit Public Impact have noted that charter schools structure teacher pay much as local school districts do. In a 2011 study of charter-school collective bargaining, the Center on Reinventing Public

anything. A national survey of education professors in 2008 found that zero percent of education-leadership faculty claim a primary scholarly emphasis on collective bargaining or school-business management; only 1% claimed a specialization in school-community relations, and 2% claimed an emphasis in either personnel management or technology.
Education leaders work in a culture in which waste and mediocrity are not treated as particularly urgent concerns. This is made painfully clear in the most widely read books on school leadership. Thelbert Drake and William Roe argue in The Principalship that "running a tight ship" is a "distortion of the goal of educating children." Michael Fullan and Andy Hargreaves tell principals in their enormously influential What's Worth Fighting for in Your School? that "[t]he worst thing to do is to write offapparently poor or mediocre teachers as dead wood, and seek easy administrative solutions in transfers or retirements." It may seem bizarre to suggest that using time and money wisely is a distraction, yet that notion recurs with startling consistency in this literature.
The journals that school and system leaders read reflect a similar, studied disinterest in the practical side of what it takes to lead change. The most widely read journal in the field is the monthly Educational Leadership. Between January 2009 and September 2012, in the midst of a struggling economy, the magazine's stories mentioned collaboration 142 times, professional development 180 times, and culture 214 times, but had almost nothing to say about management practices. The term "collaboration" alone tallied more appearances than the combined mentions of regulation,

This habeas corpus case involves competing claims for the custody of plaintiff John R. Barcus, Jr. ("Johnny"), born September 27, 1967. Contestants are Miriam A. Miller, his half-sister, who initiated this proceeding, and John R. Barcus, Sr. ("John"), his *648 father. John's present wife Betty L. Barcus is joined with him as defendant.
Johnny is the only child of John's marriage to Violet Barcus. Miriam is Violet's daughter from a prior marriage. John and Violet were married in Illinois in 1960. They moved to Creston when Johnny was six-months old. Their marriage was dissolved in 1975. Violet was awarded custody of Johnny, but by agreement of the parties the child stayed with John for the first six months after the dissolution.
Violet then caredfor Johnny until she was disabled by serious illness in 1977. On April 30, 1977, she moved with Johnny from Creston to Miriam's home in Elburn, Illinois. Violet died in Illinois on July 18, 1977.
John read of Violet's death in a local newspaper. He went to Illinois in an effort to get Johnny, but Miriam refused to let him see him. Violet had nominated Miriam as guardian of Johnny in a will executed in May 1977. A few days after Violet's death, John married Betty.
On July 29, 1977, John obtained an ex parte order in the Union County dissolution action, awarding Johnny's custody to him. On the same date, Miriam obtained an ex parte order from the circuit court in Kane County, Illinois, appointing her as Johnny's guardian.

After a number of weeks, Fly viewed the clothing and found a plastic bag with a white substance in Preston's pants pocket. She called Foster to come and look at the item. Foster testified that she was familiar with how crystal meth looked and smelled, having smoked it as a teenager. Foster testified that the substance found in Preston's pants was crystal meth. However, the substance was flushed down the toilet and was not tested.

Carla's counsel argued that "[Weaver's] going to talk about fatigue and he is going to say that the fatigue could have had something to do with the visibility." The trial court overruled the objection on those grounds. While Carla objected to Weaver's testimony on this issue, she did not object to Weaver testifying that Preston "could have" been fatigued as an improper legal standard. Second, Weaver did not state these opinions in relation to Preston's personal visibility at the time of the accident, as argued by Carla at trial. Third, Weaver was designated as an expert without objection.

Under the circumstances existing on July 18, 1996, if you believe that Thomas Hailey's vision was reduced or blinded to the extent that he could not see in front of him at a distance within which he could reduce his speed and stop his vehicle, then he had a duty to reduce his speed and bring his vehicle to a speed in which he could stop his vehicle within his range of vision. If he failed in this duty, then he was negligent. If you believe that this negligence, if any, contributed toof our "to your health!"

Berkley Books, September 1987
Recently I've read a handful of Brennan's short stories in various anthologies and enjoyed them a lot ("The Horror at Chilton Castle," "The Willow Platform," "Jendick's Swamp"). But when he's bad, his stuff is run-of-the-mill horror pulp relying on cliche and traditional "scares" and would barely pass muster for "The Twilight Zone" or "Night Gallery." His effective tale "Canavan's Backyard" from 1958 was rightly lauded highly by King in Danse Macabre. The sequel is here - "Canavan Calling" - and actually it contains my fave horrific scene in the whole anthology. "Wanderson's Waste" has its moments, but his others follow a threadbare template.
Ugh - Morrell's contributions are little more than YA fiction. "Black and White and Red All Over," reads'em, get to it! Such chilling delights.
They were also made into movies, of course, the former title I've seen, while the latter was made for TV but still starred Bette Davis. Creepy kids and malevolent old ladies...

Until today I had never heard of this series, Night Hunter, first published in the States in the late 1980s by Charter Books. Robert Faulcon is a pen name of respected British dark fantasy author Robert Holdstock. The series seems to be an odd mash-up of men's adventure novels and pulpy occult horror fiction. In the anthology I'm reading right now there's an ad for the series, so while I'm finishing that book and working up a review, check out these perfectly vintage paperback covers! Read a review here.

Admittedly, the "Kujibiki Unbalance" manga and anime were not all that great, but that serves as an ironic critique of the fictional Otaku in Japan, who considered it to be so phenomenal. The anime version of KU also came with OVAs for Genshiken, trying to catch up on what was going on with the club since we left them at the end of Season 1.
Genshiken II picked up where the OVAs left off, and gave us a taste of the club as it began to emphasize cosplay and yaoi. In Genshiken Nidaime, the third season (or fourth, if you want to count the OVAs as a "season") we get to see the club

(Redding, California) from April 23, 2007, it was estimated and verified by Dr. Grady that approximately 50% (approximately 189) of the 378 cases performed after July 2002 where done by the ultrasound-guided 8-gauge Mammotome^®^biopsy approach and approximately 50% (approximately 189) of the 378 cases performed after July 2002 where done by the ultrasound-guided 11-gauge Mammotome^®^biopsy approach. Therefore, including the 164 cases that were done by the ultrasound-guided 11-gauge Mammotome^®^biopsy approach before July 2002, it was estimated that overall a total of approximately 353 ultrasound-guided 11-gauge Mammotome^®^biopsy procedures were performed and approximately 189 ultrasound-guided 8-gauge Mammotome^®^biopsy procedures were performed.

In this regard, we highly recommend interval follow-up ultrasound surveillance of the area of the previous ultrasound-guided 8-gauge Mammotome^®^biopsy at approximately six months after such a biopsy, as well as highly recommend consideration of placement of a microclip into the original biopsy site at the time of the previous ultrasound-guided 8-gauge Mammotome^®^biopsy as a mechanism for aiding in the ongoing mammographic surveillance and/or future mammographic surveillance of such patients at an appropriately selected age. The importance for interval follow-up ultrasound surveillance is clearly demonstrated in the present series, and has been previously recognized by the authors of several of the other ultrasound-guided 8-gauge Mammotome^®^biopsy papers \[[@B13],[@B16],[@B23],[@B31]\].

is the time-dependent limitation of this technique secondary to the gradual reabsorption of the hematoma \[[@B37]\]. Therefore, microclip placement into the biopsy site at the time of the original Mammotome^®^biopsy procedure remains critical even for those that advocate hematoma-directed ultrasound-guided excision since image-guided excision of the site of the original tumor can still be directed toward localization of the microclip in cases in which rapid hematoma resorption has taken place. Along similar lines, microclip placement into the biopsy site at the time of the original Mammotome^®^biopsy procedure can be critical in those instances in which preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy is being considered, since a 100% pathologic response from preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy may result in complete resolution of any detectable mammographic or ultrasound lesion at the site of the originalJust two hours from Paris by high-speed train, or a short flight away, and less than an hour’s drive from the coast and Brittany’s finest attractions, Rennes boasts a 2,000 year old history.

As part of its case-in-chief, the government presented an affidavit prepared by Jodi Arndt, an employee at the Washington Department of Employment Security, which certified that "a diligent search of the department's files failed to disclose any record of wages reported for [Norwood] from January 1, 2004 through March 31, 2007." Although Arndt did not appear in person to testify, the court admitted her affidavit as circumstantial evidence that Norwood had no legal source for the large amounts of cash that were found on his person and in his car.
During closing argument, Norwood's counsel argued to the jury that the drugs found in Norwood's apartment were for personal use, and suggested that Norwood had been smoking the crack through the marijuana blunts that were found onthe table with

the list. Two things should be borne in mind regarding the historicity of these figures. First, as we have seen before, the word 'eleph, translated as “thousand,” was a technical rather than a strictly mathematical reference. Second, it would require a truly unusual miracle to guarantee that each district would have exactly the same number of male adults at exactly the same time.
This chapter's second list (16-22) names Israel's tribal leaders during David's reign, indicating the king's apparent comfort with the continuance of the ancient tribal leadership. This latter feature was to be less the case during the reign of Solomon. In fact, a festering discord between Solomon' style of rule and the traditional tribal authority were to contribute greatly to the schism that ensued on Solomon's death.
Thechapter contains a note on David's refusal to permit the results of his census to be entered into the archives of the realm (verses 23-24), since that census offended God and was regarded as a blight on David's reign. It does appear, therefore, that both the Chronicler and the author of 2 Samuel received the results of that census from other sources. This would in part explain how they are somewhat different.
The chapter's final section (verses 25-34) indicates that the king's property, a major source of the revenue by which the governing was done, grew during David's reign. It is a simple fact, after all, that the needs of government tend to grow. If this development continued during the reigns of subsequent kings-as surely it did-a certain resentment

led to the slaughter that opens not his mouth (Isaiah 53:7). In his sacrificial silence, Isaac bore in himself the mystery of the Temple and its worship.
We discern this mystery in the victim substituted for Isaac, the ram caught by its horns. This is the Bible's first instance of a "substitution" made in the matter of sacrifice. This ram caught in the bush foreshadows, first of all, the paschal lamb of the Mosaic Covenant, which would be slaughtered on behalf of Israel's firstborn sons on the night of the Exodus. In Genesis 22, then, we are dealing with the Bible's earliest configuration of a category important in biblical soteriology. The paschal lambs, offered in Solomon's Temple over the centuries, were all prefigured by that earlier event on MountKorea in January. Asked if he had advocated for Adani during the trip, he told Fairfax Media "I don't want to go into details of private discussions I have with other countries" but said he regularly promoted resource sector investment opportunities, including the Adani project.
Embassy of the Republic of Korea official Gyubong Lee said the Korean government "has no pending interest in [the] Adani project" and denied the existence of the documents sent to DFAT. Market Forces campaigner Pablo Brait said Korean interests were potentially being encouraged to support the Adani mine without knowing "the massive social and environmental risks it poses" such as greenhouse gas emissions from burning coal and billions of litres of water to be drawn from the Great Artesian Basin.

the comic's generosity spills over to his fans. He appreciates them, and they respond in kind. Anderson still recalls what it's like to be on the opposing side of fame; to stare at larger-than-life figures whose mere presence somehow enriches us all.
And during the course of the interview, as if on cue from some hidden film director, a fan who recognized the comedian walked up to the car Anderson was in to say hello.
Anderson excused himself momentarily from the myriad of questions hurled in his direction to exchange pleasantries. Then a few minutes later the fan returned to see if he could have his photo taken with the comedian. Anderson happily obliged.
"I remember I was with a famous comedian when a young fan walked up and asked foran autograph," said Anderson, who is appearing at the MGM Grand's Hollywood Theatre through Wednesday. "The (comedian) blew him off. I'll never forget the look on the young boy's face. He was devastated."
Remembering is a habit Anderson has made a career out of. From his painful experiences as an overweight boy growing up in his native Minnesota to his father's alcoholism and the dysfunction it caused for his family -- Anderson is the second youngest of 10 siblings -- the comic has always mined the seemingly bleak for laughs.
Although it might seem odd for Anderson to find humor in his pain, he sees it as "cathartic." It's also helpful, he said, for some people in the audience who may hear his stories and better learn to handle their

ALAN Jones must apologise on air for a racist rant where he called Sydney's Lebanese Muslims "vermin" who "infest our shores" and "rape" and "pillage" our nation, having failed in an appeal.
A $10,000 damages payment, which has been held pending an appeal, is also expected to be released in coming days after today marked the end of a seven-and-a-half year legal saga.
The saga was triggered by Jones' comments on air just days before the Cronulla riots in 2005.
In three separate occasions in April 2005, he made inflammatory comments about Muslims.
In one he read a letter which was in response to footage of young Lebanese men taunting police around The Rocks in Sydney on the day before Anzac Day, which was aired on a TV current affairs show onApril 27.
The group of men called police "pigs", and mocked the Anzac traditions, but were not arrested by police.
In the other two broadcasts he commented about a Muslim sheik, Faiz Mohammad, who suggested that women who wore short skirts or didn't cover themselves were to blame if they were sexually assaulted.
Sydney Lebanese leader Keysar Trad complained that Jones' comments in the three broadcasts breached discrimination laws and incited racial hatred against Lebanese Muslims.
Trad won the first round of the epic battle in the Administrative Decisions Tribunal in 2009 when the tribunal ruled one broadcast in a radio show on 28 April 2005 "incited hatred, serious contempt and severe ridicule of Lebanese Muslims" and Trad was awarded damages of $10,000.
Trad appealed, in a bid to prove that two other

North Queensland coach Paul Green was keeping his cards close to his chest when asked who would partner Michael Morgan in the halves for round one after their 14-6 win against the Storm in Mackay on Saturday night.
The main talking point for the Cowboys after wrapping up their pre-season campaign with a 14-6 triumph over the Storm was who would play alongside Morgan in the wake of Johnathan Thurston's retirement.
They kick off their Telstra Premiership campaign against St George Illawarra in Townsville on March 16.
Te Maire Martin and Jake Clifford are locked in a two-horse race for the five-eighth's role but Green said he would consider his options over the next week before announcing who would get the gig.
“Jake Clifford and Ta Maire shared a game, they're prettyneck and neck. I thought they both had some good touches,” Green said.
Green was impressed with former Broncos star Jordan Kahu's first game for the club at fullback after his recent switch while Mitch Dunn caught the coach's eye.
“[Kahu] has played the majority of his footy recently in the centres but he has played fullback so I thought he had some nice touches," Green said.
“[Dunn] has played an unfamiliar roll there at hooker so he’s an option for us off the bench. He can play in a number of positions for us."
Green experimented in the trial against the Storm with the option of playing Tongan international lock Jason Taumalolo in the second row but was again coy on whether he would keep his star forward on the edge

when, on November 19, 2012, they both attended a Narcotics
Anonymous meeting in West Springfield. Before the meeting
began, the defendant saw Cruz hug another man. The defendant
became upset, started yelling at Cruz, and said that he was
going to come back and "fuck [her] up." That night, Cruz was
interviewed by and gave two statements to the police. In her
first statement, Cruz did not say that the defendant pushed her.
In her second statement, Cruz stated that the defendant did, in
fact, push her.2 At trial, Cruz testified that the defendant
tried to push her, but said several times that she could not
remember if he actually touchedthe basis for the
charge of assault and battery.3 Specifically, defense counsel
asked Cruz whether the defendant had pushed her. Cruz stated
that the defendant did not touch her on November 19, 2012, and
that he did not make a pushing or threatening motion towards
her. On recross-examination, defense counsel attempted to ask
Cruz about these statements. The Commonwealth objected, after

The courts weren’t exactly thrilled about McGahn playing Trump for a day. “The White House counsel is not the President, and he is not known to be in the chain of command for any of the Executive Departments” implementing the ban, wrote a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit last February. McGahn’s words, no matter how official they looked on paper, carried no force of law.

The Hindu wrote she "goes a step further from her famous portrayal of Jessy (Ye Maaya Chesaave) and brings out the intricacy ofher character well", while the Times of India wrote "Samantha has the author backed role and she creams it."[50][51] At the Filmfare Awards ceremony celebrating South Indian films of 2012, the actress subsequently won the Best Actress awards for both the Tamil and Telugu film industries for her performances in Neethane En Ponvasantham and Eega. Samantha became the second ever actress to achieve the feat after Revathi had secured both awards in 1992.[52] 2012 became her most prolific award-winning year and she secured further recognition for Best Actress at the Vijay Awards, Santosham Film Awards and the CineMAA Awards.[53]

Xbox Live, or in Bong + Dern's sound booth. Most shows are made, at least in part, on Xbox Live; however, not all of the show segments can be filmed exclusively on Xbox Live, due to issues of in-game latency ("lag"), which would otherwise prevent the coordination seen in the Solid Gold Elite Dancers. The cameras are created using the "gun-drop glitch", which causes them to lose their weapons, thus providing a less obstructed screen. The guests for the show are usually interviewed in Bong + Dern's sound booth. As of the most recent release of media (Episode 5, Module 4) the cast has moved to Halo 3, utilizing the Saved Film feature for capturing.
This Spartan Life straddles the real and virtual world. It is filmed inand intentionally incorporates the unpredictability of the open environment of Xbox Live. During a filming session, others engage earnestly in a multiplayer game in the same area, and may sometimes attack the host or his interviewee. Occasionally, Burke and his guest devolve into firing at each other's avatars.
Reception
This Spartan Life has been mentioned by Attack of the Show!, Electronic Gaming Monthly, Wired Magazine, and Google Current. The show won an award for Best Machinima Series at the 2005 Machinima Film Festival and 2008 Machinima Film Festival. and was nominated for the same award in 2006, but did not win.

In 2001 Walton, acting pro se, filed a district court suit against the United States for damages for copyright infringement. The suit ultimately was transferred to the Court of Federal Claims. The government moved to dismiss because under 17 U.S.C. § 411(a), Walton could not maintain a suit for copyright infringement until he had registered his copyright. Walton obtained counsel and, after he registered his copyright with the copyright office, in 2005 filed an amended complaint setting forth the registration.
In a thirty-four-page opinion, the Court of Federal Claims dismissed Walton's complaint for lack of jurisdiction. The court held that the suit could not be maintained because the statutory provisions governing copyright infringement suits against the United States (28 U.S.C. § 1498(b),discussed in Part II infra), do not permit such suits by prisoners in Walton's situation. The court further held that because Congress had not waived the government's sovereign immunity from such suits, it lacked jurisdiction to entertain Walton's complaint, which it therefore dismissed.
II
A. Section 1498(b) of Title 28 of the U.S.Code provides that the "exclusive action" for infringement by the United States or its specified affiliates (including a government corporation) of "the copyright in any work protected under the copyright laws of the United States" shall be a suit in the Court of Federal Claims "for the recovery of his reasonable and entire compensation as damages for such infringement." This jurisdictional grant is immediately followed by this language:

When Will Mark Ballas Return To 'Dancing With The Stars'? His Return Is Undecided
Jason Merritt/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
The news broke on Monday that Dancing with the Star pro Mark Ballas was injured. It was unknown, at the time, if he would be well enough to perform on Monday's second live show, but fans were hopeful that he'd pull through and be able to perform. Unfortunately, on Monday's show of Dancing with the Stars, Mark did not perform because of his injury. In a video montage, we saw that Mark hurt his back during the camera blocking rehearsal. It seemed like a pretty serious injury, leading fans to wondering when Mark will return to Dancing with the Stars, once he fully recovers.

The police officers then transported Earl to the DuPage County jail, where they released him into the custody of the DuPage County jail officials ("the jail officials"). These officials then placed Earl in an isolation cell. Some time later, in the early morning hours of October 19, 1985, Earl hanged himself from the bars of the cell by a bedsheet. By the time he was discovered and medical personnel were summoned, Earl was dead.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- A two-month investigation into allegations of abuse within Maryland's football program found there was not a "toxic culture" under coach DJ Durkin, but troubling incidents occurred under Durkin's leadership, according to a copy of the report submitted to the University System of Maryland Board of Regents and obtained Thursday by ESPN.
"The Maryland football team did not have a 'toxic culture,' but it did have a culture where problems festered because too many players feared speaking out," according to the report, which was produced by an eight-person commission and given to the 17-member board of regents last Friday.
According to the commission's report, there were "many occasions" when former strength and conditioning coach Rick Court, who resigned in August, "engaged in abusive conduct" during his tenureat Maryland. This included hurling homophobic slurs, which Court denied but others confirmed to the commission.
"Mr. Court would attempt to humiliate players in front of their teammates by throwing food, weights, and on one occasion a trash can full of vomit, all behavior unacceptable by any reasonable standard," the report stated.
The commission found there was "a lack of clarity in Mr. Court's reporting lines." Durkin told the commission that his contract states he doesn't supervise strength and conditioning coaches, but the commission disagreed with his interpretation.
Court told the commission that he was never informed who his supervisor would be, and that no one assessed his work performance. The commission called this "a departmental failure."
The commission found that Durkin bears some responsibility for Court's "unacceptable behavior," but other factors

camp.
The fatal encounter began around 1 A.M. on Cameron Place while Mr. Baez, a security guard, who was back in the Bronx for a holiday visit, was playing football with three of his brothers and their friends. Two stray throws struck a police car, the Baez family and the police, after which Officer Livoti got out of his car and arrested one of Mr. Baez's brothers for disturbing the peace.
Mr. Baez first protested and then resisted his own arrest by crossing his arms on his chest as he leaned against a parked car, according to police officer who witnessed the incident. As Officer Livoti pulled Mr. Baez off the car, the victim collapsed, the police witnesses told the grand jury.
The Medical Examiner's office concluded that Mr. Baez diedbecause of "compression of his neck and chest" as well as acute asthma.
In court yesterday, Nancy Borko, an assistant district attorney, said Officer Livoti displayed "a belligerent attitude" when he left his patrol car unaccompanied by other officers and began to arrest the Baez brothers. She said it was understandable that Mr. Baez complained that Officer Livoti was arresting someone for simply playing football. She also said that Mr. Baez's father ran out of his house to warn Officer Livoti to be careful of how he handled Mr. Baez because of his asthmatic condition.
"Family members yelled out, 'He's sick,' " Ms. Borko told Burton Roberts, the chief administrative judge in the Bronx Supreme Court, as she requested that he set a $20,000 bail. Then, she said, a number

Accordingly, the ALJ affirmed the Defendants' determination. Plaintiffs now appeal the ALJ's decision to this Court pursuant to 20 U.S.C. Section 1415(e)(2). Thus, the ultimate question facing this Court on both parties' cross motions for summary judgment is whether English Carter is "disabled," as defined under the respective statutes, and thus eligible for benefits under them.

First, Hillary Clinton. Now, Dianne Feinstein.
A crowd of President Donald Trump's supporters at an Iowa rally Tuesday began the familiar refrain – normally reserved for Trump's 2016 opponent – after Trump mentioned the California Democratic senator.
The president was taking a number of Democratic senators to task, who he said have gone "wacko," when he got to Feinstein. He accused the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee of leaking "the documents," presumably referring to the theory that her office leaked the letter containing Christine Blasey Ford's sexual assault allegation against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh to the news media.
"How about Sen. Feinstein? That's another beauty," Trump said. "Did you leak the documents?"
"'Huh, what? What? No, I didn't ... '" the president asked in an apparent attempt to mockinglyparody Feinstein.
Trump, who has called Democrats "an angry left-wing mob," then turned to the crowd for judgment, asking, "Did we leak?"
"Did we leak?" he repeated, pointing to an audience member.
"He just said, 'No, we didn't leak,'" Trump said, laughing.
At the point, the crowd began a thunderous chant of "Lock her up!" in unison.
Trump paused for a moment before saying, "And I think they're talking about Feinstein. Can you believe it?"
The chant has typically been aimed at Clinton for her use of a private email server to conduct official business during her tenure as secretary of State during the Obama administration. Critics say her actions put classified material at risk, but an FBI investigation did not find that her actions warranted criminal charges.
Feinstein has been criticized by Republicans and

The petitioner became pregnant as a result of this second
rape. She told her mother about both the pregnancy and De Leon's
assaults. Soon thereafter, De Leon left Guatemala. But as word
- 2 -
spread that the petitioner was carrying De Leon's child, she began
to experience abuse from De Leon's family. Three of his relatives
beat her with sticks and threatened her life. De Leon was married
at the time of therapes, and she believed that his relatives,
upon learning of her pregnancy, blamed her for "wreck[ing] his
home."
The petitioner gave birth to her son, Juanfer Perez, in
March of 2004. At an unspecified later date in 2007, she was
attacked by De Leon's sister-in-law, who pulled her hair, threw
her to the ground, and struck her with a rock. An x-ray taken at
a local hospital revealed that blood had pooled in the petitioner's
brain as a result of the attack. Although she seldom went outdoors
following this incident for fear of another confrontation, De
Leon's relatives continued to scream at her from outside her home.
The petitioner subsequently met Raoul Mauricio, with

present their appeal Tuesday.
On Monday, prosecutors rebutted the defense arguments, saying Duch's lawyers should have raised the question of "personal jurisdiction" during the trial phase and that Duch's indictment was legitimate because S-21 was the Khmer Rouge's largest and most important prison.
"S-21 was operated as a tool by the security apparatus to smash any (subversives) in its ranks," prosecutor Chea Leang told the court. "S-21 had the scope to cover the whole country. It was the only center that provided advice and coordinated the smashes of the people in coordination with the administration and the military across the country."
A ruling was expected "in the next few months," said tribunal spokesman Reach Sambath.
The appeals will once again focus attention on the U.N. court as it gears up for anothertrial later this year of four senior Khmer Rouge leaders: Nuon Chea, the Khmer Rouge's chief ideologist; Khieu Samphan, its former head of state; Ieng Sary, its foreign minister; and his wife Ieng Thirith, who was minister for social affairs.
Critics say the tribunal - 10 years and $100 million in the making - has been too slow to investigate potential suspects and bring them to trial. The four leaders scheduled to stand trial in June are all in their 70s and 80s and in poor health.
The court has also faced allegations of corruption and has been stonewalled by the current Cambodian government headed by Prime Minister Hun Sen, himself a former Khmer Rouge military commander. Hun Sen has vehemently fought the tribunal's efforts to bring more Khmer Rouge

fired and for the police chief to step down over the shady incident.But Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli stated in a press conference Monday, "In this particular case, I do not find the officer acted maliciously. I believe he made a judgment call that not many folks will agree with, and I think perhaps the officer could have extended other efforts to capture the cat."According to Morganelli, and at least somewhat contradictory to the vet's report, Purselle claimed Sugar "showed signs of mange, hair loss, [and was] bleeding from an injury on [its] back area."Newhart, through his attorney, Jenna Fliszar, originally requested an investigation into the shooting death of his beloved family pet.According to 69 News, seven people were interviewed during the course of Morganelli's investigation, butbar and nightclub. He had been in the company of appellant, Ludwick, and
Kotaska. Ludwick and Cavness knew each other from previous encounters at the club. A witness
for the State testified that he observed Ludwick introduce appellant and Kotaska to Cavness.
Cavness purchased drinks for Ludwick, appellant, and Kotaska, among others, during the course of
the evening. The witness also saw Ludwick and Cavness dancing together later and testified that

pit of our stomachs" when they first heard of the air strikes, but were equally unsettled by the Taliban's offer the day before to release the aid workers if Washington stopped its threats and began negotiations.
The United States has demanded that the Taliban hand over Osama bin Laden, the chief suspect in last month's terrorist attacks, and has said the demand is non-negotiable. "We didn't want the United States to negotiate," Malone said. "There's a trust issue. It's hard to know if we could take them at their word. ... For them to come up with this now only because we're threatening to bomb them - that's no negotiation. That's just like a bribe, almost."

The study, funded by the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC), is a rare investigation into energy crop supply which looks at the potential of planting short rotation coppice (poplar and willow) in England, taking into account social, economic and environmental constraints. It found that with efficient land use, England is able to produce enough biomass to generate approximately four per cent of current UK electricity demand, without compromising environmental sustainability or food production.

264 F.3d 1309 (11th Cir. 2001)
MASOUD BAHAR, Petitioner,v.JOHN ASHCROFT, Attorney General of the United States, IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE, Respondents.
No. 99-15193
IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT
September 10, 2001
Petition for Review of an Order of the Immigration and Naturalization Service. INS No. Aik-ytf-yrl
Before EDMONDSON, HILL and GIBSON*, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
1
Masoud Bahar petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeal's (the "Board") affirmance of an immigration judge's final order to remove Bahar from the United States. The Immigration and Naturalization Service (the "INS") has moved to dismiss Bahar's petition for lack of jurisdiction. We conclude that we lack jurisdiction and, therefore, dismiss Bahar's petition.
2
Bahar is a native and citizen of Iran. He was admitted as a visitor to the United States in August 1987.When he failed to depart the United States, he was placed in deportation proceedings. Bahar applied for, and was granted, asylum. In February 1993, Bahar was admitted to the United States as an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence.
3
In 1998, Bahar was convicted in North Carolina state court for taking indecent liberties with a child. See N.C. Gen. Stat. 14- 202.1. He was sentenced to fourteen to seventeen months in prison and to a term of thirty-six months of supervised probation.
4
In 1999, the INS charged that Bahar was subject to removal because he was convicted of an aggravated felony, as defined in 8 U.S.C. §1101(a)(43)(A) [sexual abuse of a minor]. Later in 1999, the INS filed additional charges against petitioner charging that he was subject to removal under

to seven hours. Jones clearly has his reservations about a “wallpapering” approach, but even this does not dim his enthusiasm for the rewards on offer.
The ROI figures Brother UK has enjoyed on its investments in cycling eclipse any other marketing activity by a huge margin. Jones talks of significant movement in the needle of the brand's marketing compass towards the audience it is trying to reach.
Brother UK's success is underpinned by a sincere involvement in the sport. Jones has taken the time to attend races and to meet the people who make them happen. His own engagement with cycling has been reciprocated by the engagement of cycling's audience with Brother.
"It's not about this 'wallpapering' idea; it's about being smart," he insists. "It was by understanding the sport andservice. All of a sudden, when they think, 'Brother - we know you,' you have permission to play."
Ten years after
The success Brother UK has enjoyed from cycling is inextricably linked to Jones' passion for the sport. While he has certainly made sound decisions in the teams and events he has chosen to back, and in recognising the synergy between neutral service support and the brand's #AtYourSide motto, none of this might have happened without his own rebirth as a cyclist.
Jones' journey back into a sport he had enjoyed as a child (as the proud owner of a Raleigh Record Sprint, bought by his mother as a present for her then BMX-mad son) began with his fortieth birthday and a desire to "correct" his health. This year, he will

have the heart of a 29-year-old man. Cycling has given me that, which is absolutely brilliant.”
At your side
The year ahead promises much for Brother UK's continued investment in the grassroots of British cycle sport. The company’s neutral service vehicles will again be present at domestic races, and it has extended its sponsorship of the Tour of Britain, the Women's Tour, and the Tour Series. Additionally, seven teams, as described above, will enjoy the technology giant's support.
We return to our conversation in Chorley, where Jones has ridden out to watch a bike race, wearing a Brother-branded gilet so that anyone who might require the company's support can recognise him and talk to him. Compare and contrast with the Champs Élysées and the 'golden ticket' aspect of the laminated entryat which some are dying off. He speaks with real enthusiasm about the emergence of a new generation of young British talent, embodied by Team Wiggins' Tom Pidcock ("Is there anything this boy cannot do?") and the young British women who are gaining places within the top tier of the female sport at a rate of knots.
Finally, he would like cycling to be recognised as a universal good; one whose advantages to the National Health Service extend further than the man or woman on the bike. The economy, as well as the rider, benefits, he maintains. Jones' calculation of cycling's return on investment is not limited to his company’s involvement in the sport, even if those who cherish the British racing scene will be happy for Brother UK

Aside from leading to an indignant outburst from the Tachikomas (who accuse Togusa of bigotry), it sets up something of an antagonistic relationship between Togusa and the tanks, which is revisited in an episode in season two. Major Motoko Kusanagi holds the most pragmatic view of all.

On the surface it was great deal: in what's being called the "largest economic development project in state history", Foxconn said it would build a $10 billion plant that will eventually employ as many as 13,000 people, the White House and Gov. Scott Walker promised. To be sure, it was a quid pro quo: to help lure the manufacturer, the state pledged $3 billion in tax and other “performance-based” incentives and local authorities added $764 million.

London: If you tend to believe what you hear, rather than what is, Syd Barrett is either dead, behind bars, or a vegetable. He is in fact alive and as confusing as ever, in the town where he was born, Cambridge. In 1966-67, Barrett was playing lead guitar with Pink Floyd. He'd named the band and was writing most of their music, including the only two hit singles they ever had. His eerie electronic guitar style and gnome-like stage presence made him an authentic cult figure for the nascent London underground, then just beginning to gather at the UFO club and the Roundhouse. The Floyd were a house band and the music went on into the wee hours. Cambridge is an hour's train ride from London. Syd doesn'tsimple linear pieces. His favourite is a white semi-circle on a white canvas. In a cellar where he spends much of his time, he sits surrounded by paintings and records, his amps and guitars. He feels safe there, under the ground. Like a character out of one of his own songs. Syd says his favourite musician is Hendrix. 'I toured with him you know, Lindsay (an old girl-friend) and I used to sit on the back of the bus, with him up front; he would film us. But we never spoke really. It was like this. Very polite. He was better than people really knew. But very self-conscious about his consciousness. He'd lock himself in the dressing room with a TV and wouldn't let anyone in.' Syd himself

seat of the minivan. At the primary inspection area, a narcotics detector dog alerted to the presence of narcotics in the minivan. After the dog alert, Senior Customs Inspector Edwin Smura obtained a declaration from the driver, checked the legal status of the occupants, and asked the driver where he was going in the United States and where he was coming from in Mexico. While conducting this questioning, Inspector Smura noted that, "[the van's passengers] all seemed very nervous; very stiff, no eye contact, and [Jose Diaz, the driver,] seemed very slow to answer questions."
11
After this questioning, Inspector Smura used a density meter to check the vehicle and obtained a very high reading on the driver's side of the van. Next, Smura asked the driver, Jose Diaz, tostep out of the van. Smura searched the inside of the driver's door and saw clear plastic wrapped packages that he believed contained illegal drugs.

The three occupants of the minivan were then handcuffed and escorted to a secondary security office where the handcuffs were removed. The occupants were required to wait on a bench. About five to ten minutes after the three occupants were taken to the security office, the contents of the packages were confirmed to be marijuana, which was later determined to weigh 44.20 kilograms (97.24 pounds). At this point all three occupants of the minivan, including Hernandez, were again handcuffed, and Hernandez was advised of his Miranda rights. Hernandez chose to make a statement and admitted that he was being paid $500 to act as

Friday marks official start date for SCCPSS teachers
Classroom at Haven Elementary being set up for the start of the new school year. (Source: WTOC)
SAVANNAH, GA (WTOC) -
Teachers in the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System will officially return to the classroom on Friday.
There's a lot to look forward to in the 2017-18 school year for SCCPSS. Students and teachers will have three new schools this year.
Friday, July 28 is the official start for teachers. SCCPSS Superintendent Dr. Ann Levett says there are about 3,500 teachers in the school district.
With Haven Elementary being a new school, teachers are already getting their classroom ready for students.
"Teachers are already back and they've been setting up their classrooms and getting ready for the students to return next week. Teachers are people who reallyLagos (AFP) - Militants have blown an offshore oil facility operated by US oil group Chevron in southern Nigeria, the navy said on Friday, in renewed violence that could hit exports in Africa's largest oil producer.
"There was an attack on a Chevron facility near Escravos on Wednesday night. The incident happened about four nautical miles from Escravos, near Warri, in Delta state," spokesman Chris Ezekobe told AFP.
Ezekobe said "militants using explosives blew up the Okan platform, a collection facility for offshore oil and gas that feeds the Escravos terminal".
The navy was working with other security agents to track down the culprits, he added.
"A previously unknown group called the Niger Delta Avengers has claimed responsibility for the incident," the spokesman said, confirming a statement on the group's website.

didn't know, either. Miss Benham asked some other people, who were vague about it, and in the end she became convinced that it was an odd and quite inexplicable form of something like endearment. But nobody seemed to have formulated it to himself.
"The name is really 'De Ste. Marie,'" he went on, "and there's a title that I don't use, and a string of Christian names that one never employs. My people were Béarnais, and there's a heap of ruins on top of a hill in the Pyrenees where they lived. It used to be Ste. Marie de Mont-les-Roses, but afterward, after the Revolution, they called it Ste. Marie de Mont Perdu. My great-grandfather was killed there, but some old servants smuggled his little son away and savedhim."
He seemed to Miss Benham to say that in exactly the right manner, not in the cheap and scoffing fashion which some young men affect in speaking of ancestral fortunes or misfortunes, nor with too much solemnity. And when she allowed a little silence to occur at the end, he did not go on with his family history, but turned at once to another subject. It pleased her curiously.
The fair youth at her other side continued to crouch over his food, making fierce and animal-like noises. He never spoke or seemed to wish to be spoken to, and Miss Benham found it easy to ignore him altogether. It occurred to her once or twice that Ste. Marie's other neighbor might desire an occasional word from him, but, after

a hasty lunch. But at mid-afternoon he took a fiacre at the corner of the Gardens and drove to the rue du Faubourg St. Honoré.
Captain Stewart was at home. He was in a dressing-gown, and still looked fagged and unwell. He certainly betrayed some surprise at sight of his visitor, but he made Hartley welcome at once and insisted upon having cigars and things to drink brought out for him. On the whole he presented an astonishingly normal exterior, for within him he must have been cold with fear, and in his ears a question must have rung and shouted and rung again unceasingly--"What does this fellow know? What does he know?"
Hartley's very presence there had a perilous look.
The younger man shook his head at the servant whoasked him what he wished to drink.
"Thanks, you're very good," he said to Captain Stewart, and that gentleman eyed him silently. "I can't stay but a moment. I just dropped in to ask if you'd any idea what can have become of Ste. Marie."
"Ste. Marie?" said Captain Stewart. "What do you mean--'become of him'?" He moistened his lips to speak, but he said the words without a tremor.
"Well, what I meant was," said Hartley, "that you'd seen him last. He was here Thursday evening. Did he say anything to you about going anywhere in particular the next day--yesterday? He left his rooms about noon and hasn't turned up since."
Captain Stewart drew a short breath and sat down, abruptly, in a near-by chair, for all at once his knees

And each following day he had gone with high hopes to the appointed place under the cedar-tree to pick figs of thistles, lilac blooms in late July. But there had been nothing there.
"Turn your back, Michel!" said Ste. Marie.
And the old man said, from a little distance: "It is turned, Monsieur. I see nothing. Monsieur throws little stories at the birds to amuse himself. It does not concern me."
Ste. Marie slipped a pebble under the flap of the envelope and threw his letter over the wall. It went like a soaring bird, whirling horizontally, and it must have fallen far out in the middle ofles genoux, cette imbécile là."
"In that case," said Ste. Marie, "you might ask the lady to say one little extra prayer for--the pebble I threw at the birds just now. Hein?" He withdrew from his pocket the last two louis d'or, and Michel took them in a trembling hand. There remained but the note of fifty francs and some silver.
"The prayer shall be said, Monsieur," declared the gardener. "It shall be said. She shall pray all night or I will kill her."
They turned away to retrace their steps, and Michel rubbed the side of his head with a reflective air.

"Oh, beautiful--and sweet--and true!"
The girl gave a little sob and hid her face.
"A goddess!" he whispered. "'A queen among goddesses!' That's--what the little Jew said. 'A queen among goddesses. The young Juno before--'" He stirred restlessly where he lay, and he complained: "My head hurts! What's the matter with my head? It hurts!"
She dipped one of the towels in the basin of cold water and held it to the man's brow. The chill of it must have been grateful, for his eyes closed and he breathed a little satisfied "Ah!"

His state was plain to see. He dwelt still in that vague border-land between worlds. He had brought with him no memories, and no memories followed him save those her face had wakened. Within the girl a great and tender passion of love fought for possession of this little hour.

"I have," he said, "queer half-memories. I wish I could remember distinctly."
He looked up at her again.
"I dropped down by the gate in the wall. When I awoke I was in a room in the house. How did that happen?"
"Oh," she said, turning her face away, "we got you up to the house almost at once."
But Ste. Marie frowned thoughtfully.
"'We'? Who do you mean by 'we'?"
"Well, then, I," the girl said. "It was not difficult."
"Coira," cried the man, "do you mean that you carried me bodily all that long distance? You?"
"Carried or dragged," she said. "As much one as the other. It was not very difficult. I'm strong for a woman."
"Oh, child! child!" he cried. And he said: "I remember more. It was you who heldStewart and kept him from shooting me. I heard the shot and I heard you scream. The last thought I had was that you had been killed in saving me. That's what I went out into the blank thinking."
He covered his eyes again as if the memory were intolerable. But after awhile he said:
"You saved my life, you know."
And the girl answered him:
"I had nearly taken it once before. It was I who called Michel that day you came over the wall, the day you were shot. I nearly murdered you once. I owed you something. Perhaps we're even now."

In October, 1980, Mary Edwards, an Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") agent, began an audit of defendant's personal and corporate tax returns for 1978, 1979 and 1980. Her investigation was suspended and a criminal investigation begun by Willie Childress, a Special Agent with the IRS. In the course of his investigation, Childress became aware of several cashier's checks that defendant had purchased at the bank where the business accounts were located. The cashier's checks were purchased with checks payable to the corporation that the corporation had received from customersStylecraft Lamps. The government contends that these checks represented specific items that defendant had "skimmed" out of the business for his personal benefit. Prior to trial, the parties stipulated that the 68 checks were payments for sales by the corporation and that none had been deposited to the corporation's bank account. On September 27, 1985, the jury returned a verdict of guilty on all six counts. On February 13, 1986, the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee entered a Judgment and Probation/Commitment Order. Defendant was assessed the costs of prosecution and was fined $5,000 on count one and $5,000 on count four. Sentence was suspended on the remaining counts and defendant was placed on probation for three years.

BACKGROUND
2
In June 1994 the Galveston County Narcotics Task Force received an anonymous tip through Houston Crime Stoppers that Dickey was illegally manufacturing methamphetamine. Sergeant Randall Burrows, a Galveston County Sheriff's Deputy assigned to the Narcotics Task Force, went to Dickey's homes1 at 11:00 p.m. that evening. As Sergeant Burrows walked around the house and trailer, he detected a chemical odor that is normally emitted from methamphetamine laboratories.
3
Sergeant Burrows then left Dickey's residence and phoned a Drug Enforcement Administration ("DEA") agent, who later joined him at Dickey's at 1:00 a.m. The agents did not detect the chemical odor this time. The agents set up a surveillance of Dickey's house and around 11:00 p.m. the next day they saw a pickup truck parkedoutside the house. Several plastic garbage bags were in the bed of the truck. The truck left the house five minutes later and they followed it. The truck was stopped and its driver was identified as Joseph Kelly Weber, Dickey's half-brother.
4
With Weber's consent, the agents examined the garbage bags and found empty chemical containers, including an empty bottle of muriatic acid, a chemical commonly used in clandestine labs. The agents also found filter paper that had a strong residue associated with methamphetamine, empty acid containers and broken glassware. The agents further found a box in the bed of the truck containing trash that had a chemical residue. Weber explained that Dickey had asked him to dispose of the garbage bags.2 The

controlled substance. P2P is treated with other chemicals to make methamphetamine. Many flasks in the laboratory contained P2P at various stages of the chemical process. The agents recovered 3.35 kilograms of P2P, 570.5 grams of methamphetamine3 and 11.79 grams of amphetamine from the laboratory. Based on the amount of chemicals and equipment, Dickey was capable of producing 23.5 kilograms of methamphetamine in his laboratory.
6
Several firearms were found in the house and trailer. An UZI nine millimeter rifle with a 12-inch barrel4 was found on the bed near a shaving kit containing methamphetamine in the bedroom of the trailer. The agents found a disassembled AMT .380 caliber pistol in the closet. Also found in the bedroom of the trailer were: (1)Sergeant Burrows stated that he is assigned to the Narcotics Task Force to investigate controlled substance offenses. Sergeant Burrows has worked as a Texas Peace Officer for over 17 years and has extensive experience in all types of narcotics investigations, including clandestine laboratory investigations. In the past, Sergeant Burrows had received information from other law enforcement officers, informants and private citizens that Dickey was illegally manufacturing methamphetamine. On June 15, 1994, Sergeant Burrows received a tip from Houston Crime Stoppers that Dickey was illegally manufacturing methamphetamine at his house and trailer. He stated that he went to Dickey's trailer and "positioned himself downwind from the [trailer] and briefly smelled an odor which [he] immediately recognized as an odor emitted during process of manufacturing methamphetamine."

As has been the administration's habit for years with news that might draw negative attention, the Treasury Department conveniently released its year-end Monthly Budget Review Friday afternoon to minimize the discussion of its grim news.
The latest installment of Stupid Fact Checks involves Politifact, the heavyweight champion of dishonest "fact checkers." The web site's clear mission is to make false leftist claims look credible while discrediting valid statements made by those on the center-right.
As the National Football League's Week 6 went into full swing Sunday, it has become clear that its TV ratings plunge is real, serious, and having a bottom-line impact. At the same time, there's a growing determination in the establishment press to avoid citing the "(Colin) Kaepernick effect" of player protests during the playing of thepresidential nominee Hillary Clinton characterized half of Donald Trump's supporters as a "basket of deplorables," and further described an undetermined number of these "deplorables" are "irredeemable."
As has so often been the case, the headline and opening paragraph of the initial report at the Associated Press about her remarks, seen in a running "The Latest" series, wasn't really about her. It was about Donald Trump's reaction. A later headline, desperately trying to cover up Mrs. Clinton's critical mistake for people who won't click through to read Catherine Lucey's report, said that she only called "many" Trump supporters "deplorables," not "half."
For the second time in as many days, Hillary Clinton conducted a press gaggle on Tuesday afternoon and while it was brief, Bloomberg’s Jennifer Epstein received the first question and

Lego Partners with Funcom to Produce New Lego MMOG!
Attention, all Lego fans! It has recently been confirmed that Lego has partnered with the game developer, Funcom, to produce a new Lego MMOG based around the Lego Minifigures collectible series! Although Lego’s first attempt at an MMOG, Lego Universe, was shut down due to lack of profit, Funcom still sees opportunity in Lego MMOG’s, and has partnered with Lego to create one. This is a good opportunity to release a Lego Minifigures MMOG, as the 35th anniversary of the Lego minifigure is in 2013. Little is known about the game, as it is still in early development. It is said the new MMOG will be released sometime in 2013, though that is currently not fully confirmed. Updates on whenViolent Attacks and Damaged Victims: An Exploration of the Rape Scripts of European American and African American U.S. College Women.
Scripts are influential in shaping sexual behaviors. Prior studies have examined the influence of individuals' rape scripts. However, these scripts have not been evaluated among diverse groups. The current study examined the rape scripts of African American ( n = 72) and European American ( n = 99) college women. Results supported three rape scripts: the "real rape," the "party rape," and the mismatched intentions rape, that were equally common. However, there were some differences, with African Americans' narratives more often including active victim resistance and less often containing victim vulnerability themes. Societal and cultural influences on rape scripts are discussed.

switch to Alternate Law 2, which meant that the computer would no longer prevent dangerous flight inputs. While not the same as the MCAS issue, it lead to confusion of the cockpit crew (who had been making maximum nose-up inputs while at TOGA power), and thus the plane crashed due to stall. It was noted that there was nothing direct to alert the pilots that the switch had occurred.
Scandanavian Air 751 MD81 - Ice accumulated on the wings. When the plane took off, the ice fell off, striking the engines. The pilots noted the engines were surging and reduced the throttle, but an auto-throttle system not disclosed to the pilots kept increasing power back to full, thus causing engine failure and a crash landing.
Has anyone ever stated whyinto perfecting the relentless semi-funk riff that dominates this song. John Paul Jones has credited Stevie Wonder with the inspiration for the beat ("Superstition", 1972), which he played on a clavinet. Page played wah-wah and, as producer, employed reverse echo on the recording.
Brandy & Coke
A rough mix of the track with less overdubbing was titled "'Brandy & Coke' ". It was released on 11 February 2015 (on iTunes), as part of the remastering process of all nine albums. The rest of the album was released on 23 February 2015.

his past with his Japanese neighbors, Yamada would explain that he was from Tokyo, a simple _sarariiman,_ or salary man, who had suffered the double indignity of being laid off by one of Japan's electronics giants and then being abandoned by his wife of twenty years, for whom he could no longer provide as she expected. It was a sad, although not uncommon story in those difficult economic times, and Yamada's neighbors, with typical Japanese restraint, would nod sympathetically at the telling of his lament and press for no further details.
Yamada obsessed over the study of Portuguese—tapes, tutors, television, music, films, even a series of professional women, because, Yamada knew, there is no more natural or productive route to the acquisition of a language than the sharing ofhe said, shaking his head, not bothering to deny the connection.

"Yeah. We sent people to watch her. You know the rest."
I looked away and considered. So she had been telling me the truth—she really hadn't given me up. Damn.
Or maybe she had, and Kanezaki was just protecting her. There was no way to know, and I supposed there never would

Aharon Etengoff, 16th June 2010
The US Army has asked Northrop Grumman to design three hybrid airships that are capable of providing American soldiers with persistent ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) capabilities in Afghanistan.
The airships - which have been dubbed Long Endurance Multi-Intelligence Vehicle (LEMV) systems - will be deployed in just 18 months.
Northrop Grumman has teamed with Hybrid Air Vehicles, Ltd. of the United Kingdom using its HAV304 platform, Warwick Mills, ILC Dover, AAI Corporation, SAIC and a team of technology leaders from 18 US states to build the LEMVs.

Introduction
============
The end of the Pleistocene was marked by dramatic environmental change as repeated climate fluctuations gave way to the warmer, more stable Holocene, including the near complete loss of the cold and dry steppe-tundra (also known as the Mammoth steppe) and the extinction of cold-adapted species such as cave bears, cave hyenas, and woolly rhinoceros. Woolly mammoths (*Mammuthus primigenius*) were among the most abundant cold-adapted megafaunal species during the Middle to Late Pleistocene (∼780--12 kyr BP), inhabiting a large swath of steppe-tundra that extended from Western Europe, through Asia and Beringia, into North America. Paleontological and genetic data indicate that their once-large populations experienced at least two demographic declines, the first in the later stages of the Middle Pleistocene ∼285 kyr BP ([@evz279-B31]) or Eemian interglacial ∼130--116 kyrIn their bid to be Florida’s next attorney general, former Hillsborough County judge Ashley Moody and state representative Frank White both accepted campaign donations from a private prison corporation that manages an Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) family detention center.
Moody and White, the two Republican candidates, received campaign donations late last year from the Boca Raton-based The GEO Group. Moody received a $3,000 donation to her personal campaign account in October and White got a $5,000 contribution to his political committee “United Conservatives” in November, according to campaign finance records.
Both candidates also said they would not join 17 other state attorney generals in a lawsuit against the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy and family separation.
Moody, who is sitting on nearly $3 million in campaign funds, said her

labor groups contend that these deals lack robust enforcement mechanisms. Celeste Drake of the AFL-CIO points to the 2005 CAFTA-DR agreement with Central American countries as an example. The United States used this treaty to file a complaint about labor rights violations in Guatemala in 2008, but the case still hasn't been resolved seven years later.
The White House has courted labor groups, touting the TPP's stronger protection for workers' rights and calling the agreement the "most progressive trade agreement in history." The White House insists that TPP will end child labor, protect the right to bargain collectively, and ensure workplace safety standards.
When the agreement was released in November 2015, the Obama administration touted it as a big win. Among the deal's accomplishments: a commitment from Vietnam to allowimportant trade deals, and fast track is seen as an important precondition for concluding the TPP.
This was a rare case where the president and Republican leaders in Congress saw eye to eye. It took months of negotiations and several false starts, but ultimately Republican leaders, supported by lobbying from the president, were able to shepherd TPA through Congress.
The bill Congress passed in June 2015 grants the president trade promotion authority for six years, so Obama's successor will be able to get up-or-down votes for any trade deals negotiated during his or her first term.
However, it's looking increasingly unlikely that Obama will get the up-or-down vote he fought so hard for last summer. Both parties' presidential candidates have turned against the TPP, and there's been no sign that Congressional

Obviously there's a great deal of pressure on the organization to address their problems and institute reform. Shortly after Greg Burke signs on Pope Benedict XVI, affectionately referred to by many as Pope Palpatine, steps down from the throne to live in seclusion at a nunnery. Many people saw Benedict as directly responsible for the Church's woes as he was in charge of the department that decided policy to shift pedophile priests around to avoid prosecution and intimidate families of sex abuse victims into remaining silent. Enter Cardinal Bergoglio with his lifelong message of compassion for the poor elected to take Benedict's place under the ruling name of Francis I.Pope Francis quickly shocks the world by suggesting that atheists can be good people after all (welcome to the Twentieth Century, Frank) and furthermore it's not his place to judge homosexuals (although it's still his god's place and they're still not allowed to get married or enjoy equal rights).
The world is abuzz with the news. Pope Francis is a genuinely nice guy! He urges the world to be generous and give to the poor! He denounces "trickle down" economics (again, welcome to the Twentieth Century, Frank)! He puts the golden throne in storage and sits on a wooden stool! Like I said, this is good stuff.
So here's my problem: we've seen this sort of re-branding before. Does anyone else remember "compassionate conservatism"? I was willing to give George

and operated the Hartley Trucking Company, which engaged in interstate freight hauling. From November, 1979, through May, 1981, the debtor maintained accounts with Peoples. As the result of a series of transactions occurring prior to April 28, 1981, the debtor overdrew his checking account by approximately $1,206,800. The debtor twice tried to cover the overdraft, but the checks tendered were returned due to stop payments which had been placed on them.
3
On June 2, 1981, the debtor and representatives of Peoples and Midwest Emery Freight Systems, Inc. ("Midwest"), along with their respective counsel, met to determine how to pay the overdraft. The debtor had previously borrowed money from Midwest to cover overdrafts. At the meeting Midwest agreed to pay $500,000 directly to Peoplesnot pay Star, Star filed a lien against the building for the value of the materials, $18,045.04. The third party loaned the debtor the money to pay Star in return for a promissory note and a mortgage on the debtor's real estate. After the debtor filed for bankruptcy, the trustee challenged the transfer to Star, claiming it was a voidable preference under section 60 of the former Bankruptcy Act. The court held that the transfer was a voidable preference to the extent of the value of the collateral given to the third party, and that therefore the trustee was entitled to the proceeds from the sale of the mortgaged real estate, $10,000. 466 F.2d at 217-19.
