Hazard analysis of technologies for disposing explosive waste.
Hazards are identified for six different techniques for disposing decommissioned ammunition. Use has been made of functional modelling as a basis for hazard identification. Risk levels are estimated based on general accident rates in the chemical industry. The disposal techniques are "open burning" (OB), "open detonation" (OD), "closed detonation" (CD), "fluidised bed combustion" (FBC), "rotary kiln (RK) incineration", "mobile incineration". Closed detonation leads to most hazards and highest risk, followed by open burning and open detonation. The other three techniques are considerably safer. Risk due to transport is included in the analysis. Transport risk is not negligible for fluidised bed combustion and rotary kiln incineration at centrally located sites.Drama from the 1st day, Pak team under scanner in England for using Smartwatches
Last Modified Friday, 25 May 2018 (15:13 IST)
London: The International Cricket Council (ICC) has told Pakistani players to stop wearing smartwatches during play to avoid any allegations of match-fixing, bowler Hasan Ali said after the opening day of the first test against England on Thursday.The ICC's anti-corruption team met the tourists after play at Lord's and warned the players against wearing the watches, which are capable of transmitting text or voice messages and functioning like a phone. (Pic-Twitter)
"I didn't know who was wearing them but yes, the ICC anti-corruption officer came to speak to us and they told us this is not allowed," Hasan said after Pakistan dominated play, bowling England out for 184 before

Mom was standing at the counter. She had that short robe on and she was on her toes stretching to reach something, causing her robe to ride up.
My cock started to rise up as I looked up and down her legs while noticing the shape of her butt which was just above the bottom out of her robe. I drew in then let out a slow breath while slightly shaking my head side to side and let out a low,
"mmm, mmm, mm".
She looked back and dropped down on her feet, finished what she was doing then went to the table and sat down. I got a drink from the fridge and when I turned around she looked at me,
"Sweetie, we need to talk".
I sat down at the tableacross from her.
"Look, about lastnight........", she said. She stopped as if searching for words.
"Mom.....", I started to say then she cut me off.
"Listen, what we did was....I...uh, that is you......(she let out a frustrated breath) look, you are a young man with normal "urges" and, well...I....it, it "happened".
"Are you saying..... "I took advantage of you" ?, I asked.
"Oh god baby NO !........., I felt I took advantage of YOU" !, she said.
"Mom, I..........",I started to respond but stopped due to the sound of a door opening.
"We'll talk about this later", she said in a whisper while giving the back of my hand a few pats.
My sister had come home. She walked in smiling, full of energy telling us all about the birthday party, they all went swimming, etc.

that a musical compact disk was missing. Believing that Battle had stolen the CD, Haynes and others left the apartment to find him. They located Battle and brought him back to Williams' apartment, where they strip-searched and then beat him. Battle denied taking the CD, and they did not find it on his person. Nevertheless, he was taken outside where Haynes and his friends threw him to the ground and continued to kick and beat him.
*723 Williams testified that she watched the beating from her front porch and was then told by a friend of Haynes' to go inside because "they got iron and were fixing to smoke [Battle]." She observed gunfire from her window, heard five shots, and saw that Haynes was standing closest to the victim.Haynes then returned to Williams' apartment where he washed his hands with bleach.
Haynes' co-defendant told police in a custodial statement that during the beating, Haynes obtained a gun from one of the onlookers and shot the victim six or seven times. The co-defendant testified at trial, recanting that statement. Haynes also confessed to authorities that he shot the victim with a .38 revolver. But Haynes, too, recanted his confession during trial, instead implicating his brother.
The victim died as a result of multiple gunshot wounds fired from a Colt .38 revolver.
1. The evidence was sufficient under the standard of Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 99 S.Ct. 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560 (1979), to find Haynes guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the crimes for which he was convicted.

Tucson Symphony Society requested that the TSWA "change its primary activities" away from their music school and toward supporting the orchestra.
After that suggestion was made, Marshall says, the TSS didn't hear anything from the women's association for quite some time.
Gerzetic states in her newsletter that at a May meeting with the TSS, her group was asked for a projection of future revenues it could provide. She says TSWA responded by indicating it couldn't estimate these amounts, but expected to support the symphony for another 50 years.
The level of that support in the past has been substantial. Records show that over a three-year period, the TSWA contributed about $50,000, then $71,000, and finally $170,000, of which $100,000 was an endowment contribution. Last year, according to Gerzetic, another $84,000 wasdonated, bringing the total to more than $1 million since 1993.
On July 5, TSS attorney and president-elect Erwin Kratz wrote the TSWA. He suggested that in return for the continued use under Internal Revenue Service rules of the name "Tucson Symphony Women's Association," the TSWA pledge two-thirds to three-quarters of its annual revenues to the orchestra.
When the TSWA didn't comply, the TSS board of directors unanimously voted to sever the relationship between the two organizations.
"They're raising funds for their own music education programs which reach 100," Marshall explains of the vote. "Our programs reach over 35,000 in schools through a combination of lessons and concerts. Because the TSWA contributions were steadily declining, the TSS board didn't feel there was any point in continuing (the relationship)."
The split left many

Ultimate Congressional Hideaway," Gup was the first to reveal publicly the existence of Project Greek Island, a large underground bunker at West Virginia's famed Greenbrier Resort to house the Congress of the United States in case of a nuclear attack on Washington, D.C., a revelation still considered controversial two decades after its publication. Those opposed to the revelation note that the exposure rendered the $14,000,000 ($123,382,792 by current standards) taxpayer-funded bunker useless and led to its decommissioning. Gup defended the story in a 2009 interview with Cleveland's Plain Dealer, arguing that the Greenbrier bunker was obsolete in 1992. "We sat on the story for a couple of months making sure it wouldn't harm national security," Gup said. "The bunker mentality that preserved that place was itself aPaul Pogba celebrates after Manchester United's Europa League victory last month
Former Manchester United skipper Bryan Robson believes Paul Pogba has all the ingredients to be a successful future captain at Old Trafford.
The 24-year-old French international rejoined United last summer for a world-record transfer fee of £89m, having left for Juventus in 2012.
Nobody played more games for United last season than Pogba but due to his astronomical transfer fee, many pundits have described his campaign as being disappointing.
Robson, however, is not one of them and the 60-year-old ex-England skipper said: "I think he's improved United. When he's been missing, we've missed something.
"He maybe dwells [on the ball] a bit too long for a central midfielder sometimes - you want to move it quicker - but Paul has got real

Bryan Robson shakes hands with Barcelona skipper Diego Maradona before United's European Cup Winners' Cup match at Old Trafford in March 1984
"When he's not in the team, we don't have that. I think if Paul starts improving his performances, he could be a captain for United who leads by example."
Robson's former team-mate Gary Pallister thinks Pogba will get better as the years progress.
He said: "I think he'll be better for a bit of a rest and the hype of the transfer fee has played its part in that. And he's just lost his father, which is tough.
"But I think with a full pre-season behind him, you'll see the best of Paul Pogba.

It was Hollins who led the team in sacks last year with nine, and even though he made just 31 tackles, his ability to rush the passer will be a key for the Bruins this fall. Jack made 88 stops, second on the team to Kendricks. And while Hollins is going after the quarterbacks, Jack's ability to cover the pass is second to none.

Mind War paper by NSA Gen. Michael Aquino EDUCATE YOURSELF: PROJECT BLUEBEAM
Watch the video about this military Mind War paper and then EDUCATE YOURSELF: PROJECT BLUEBEAM for the application of the tenants of these projects. Aquino writes in November 2003 in the introduction addendum to his original Mind War paper the following: "With the arising of the Internet in the 1980s, however, Mind War received an entirely unexpected - and somewhat comic - resurrection. Allusions to it gradually proliferated, with itsbeen relegated to a back-seat as a "force multiplier". The principal strategic decisions are made in consideration of traditional political and military interests and goals. Only then is PSYOP invited to the table, to help achieve already-agreed-upon missions more efficiently. MindWar reverses this sequence. Psychological means for achieving victory - essentially through convincing the enemy that he really wants to bring his national policies into harmony with ours - are fashioned in support of basic political goals. The use of "ordinary" military force (bombs, bullets, etc.) is regarded as a "last resort" in circumstances wherein MindWar by itself fails". The crucial question avoided by the military and intelligence community is who actually is the enemy? The recent announcement of the top brass switch at CIA and the Department

I.E.P, only then would the school give her extra help. Lopez wanted to get her daughter outside tutoring before she fell behind any further. She pleaded with the administration to bend the rules, but her request was denied.
At Success Academy, Renee immediately got the extra help, and in general the staff is more responsive to her needs. Lopez could only communicate with Renee's teacher during school hours at P.S. 31. Now she's in touch with Renee's teacher by email and phone on evenings, weekends, and school breaks. A couple weeks ago, when Lopez was struggling to help Renee with a math problem, she called the teacher, who immediately emailed her a cell phone picture of the solution.
"As soon as Renee walked in the door, someone was there toshake her hand. It just had a different tone." Lopez says that in her experience traditional public school teachers project an air of dissatisfaction and like to "talk about how they don't get paid very much," while at Success Academy she's "never seen a teacher who didn't look happy."
Charter schools often do a better job at getting their resources into the classroom. Barbara Darrigo, who's the principal of P.S. 149 and shares her building with Success Academy, recently complained to The Wall Street Journal about a lack of funding. "I'm in the red," she said. "I can never create a classroom that looks like [Success Academy's]—the new lighting, the sleek furniture, the technology…A pen is like gold here."

Even a day after that Thursday news conference, State Street in Trenton was packed with TV trucks. Not much was going on inside, but the Statehouse made a nice backdrop for the talking heads as they savored a scandal that has some remarkable similarities to the one that unfolded 40 years in Washington.
(Reader George Humphris suggested the clip below from "Hogan's Heroes." It nicely sums up our governor's press conference, I fear.)
The parallels are striking. One is the margin of the landslide victories in the elections at issue. Republican Nixon beat Democrat George McGovern by 23 points in that 1972 election. Republican Christie defeated Democrat Barbara Buono by 22 points in 2013.
Another is in the timing. In both cases, the offense in question occurred in the run-up toTransportation Committee.
After they reached the media Wednesday, the governor called a news conference Thursday at which he expressed outrage at his underlings. But was he angry because they conspired to close the lanes for political purposes? Or because they were so inept that they got caught?
The timing certainly looks suspicious. If Christie truly was upset about the shutdown, the time to express remorse was on Dec. 9. That’s when Port Authority Executive Director Patrick Foye appeared before the committee.
Foye dismissed the argument that the closures were part of a traffic study. He told how he reversed the closures the moment he learned of the massive traffic jams they were causing in Fort Lee. Also testifying were two bridge officials who told how Wildstein ordered them not to warn

"This is the biggest terrorist challenge, [Syrian leader Bashar al-] Assad is the biggest thug on the block, and there's no plan to deal with them. Outsourcing management of Syria to Vladimir Putin should not be an option, either for Washington or Ottawa, but our current prime minister seems perfectly happy with that," Alexander said.

It affected 300,000 people and had the World Health Organization (WHO) labeling it as one of the largest food safety events in recent times. India is not far behind on such scams either.
In the year 2013, it emerged that well over 70 percent of milk sold in India contained water (to dilute and increase quantity), caustic soda, skimmed milk powder, paint, sugar, urea (for preservation), detergent hydrogen peroxide, glucose, starch, salt and vegetable fat. And the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) was seen to be doing nothing about it.

RESEARCH & TRADING CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, Plaintiff,
v.
Mike POWELL and Rose Manufacturing Company, a Colorado corporation, Defendants.
Court of Chancery of Delaware, New Castle County.
Submitted: August 25, 1983.
Decided: October 12, 1983.
Francis J. Murphy of Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell, Wilmington, for plaintiff.
Robert D. Graham (argued) and Benjamin C. Wetzel, III, of Bayard, Brill & Handelman, Wilmington, for defendant Powell.
William E. Wiggin of Richards, Layton & Finger, Wilmington, for defendant Rose Mfg. Co.
LONGOBARDI, Vice Chancellor.
The Defendant Michael Powell ("Powell") was employed by the Plaintiff Research & Trading Corporation ("RTC") from July 27, 1976, until he resigned on April 2, 1982. The very next day, he commenced working with Rose Manufacturing Company ("Rose"), a competitor of RTC. The complaint alleges that Powell has been contacting RTC's customers andsales efforts.
RTC alleges that its president determined in January, 1981, during the reorganization period, that his company would seek employment agreements containing restrictive covenants with all salespersons. Powell argues that the covenant idea was not entertained by RTC until February, 1981. It is clear, though, that at the time of his acceptance of the new position, Powell was not told that he would have to sign a restrictive covenant in exchange for RTC's offer.
On March 3, 1981, Powell was approached by Jeffrey M. Petrizzi, RTC's Assistant to the President and General Manager, and asked to sign an employment agreement with a restrictive covenant. RTC contends that the primary motivation in obtaining the agreement was to keep confidential the proprietary information that Powell would obtain as National Accounts Manager.

PCV's are probably approached by CIA recruiters more than, say automobile mechanics in Dayton, Ohio. But it is far from infiltration, I think.
By law, the Peace Corps cannot pass information to the intelligence gathering community. By law, members or former members of the intelligence gathering community cannot become Peace Corps Volunteers.
In addition, there are legal and administrative safeguards in place to prevent any member or former member of the intelligence gathering community from becoming a Volunteer in the US Peace Corps.
In the forty year history of the Peace Corps, there has never been a single documented case of a Volunteer who wasknow? Thanks. RPCV- Cameroon 74/75.
I think the Peace Corps has been very responsible on the issue of barring any US intelligence involvment with its program or volunteers.
In fact, I have told folks in countries in which I work (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Cuba) who are suspicious of the Peace Corps (because of the old Soviet propaganda line), that Peace Corps is the least likely US institution to serve as an intelligence cover. Other government agencies, business, missionaries, academics, journalists, even NGOs, can legally be used as cover.

reports filed against him by correction officials at that institution. The material facts are not at issue, and the record, construed in Benitez's favor, reveals the following.
3
On February 27, 1988, Corrections Officer J. Prusak filed a four-page misbehavior report charging Benitez with violations of eight specified rules of conduct ("February 27 Report"). Benitez was served with this report at 9:32 a.m. on February 29. Later that day, Corrections Officer A. Witkowski filed a second misbehavior report against Benitez arising out of a different incident ("February 29 Report"). The February 29 Report consisted of one page and charged violations of four rules of conduct, two of which had also been invoked in connection with the incident that formed the basis forthe February 27 Report. At about 2:30 p.m. on February 29, after the second report had been filed, Wolff, a corrections lieutenant, took Benitez from his cell to the prison's Special Housing Unit ("SHU"), and refused to allow him to take along his copy of the February 27 Report. The February 29 Report was served on Benitez at 10:53 a.m. on March 1, 1988. At 1:30 p.m. that day, Benitez was moved from one SHU cell to another; he was not allowed to take with him his copy of the February 29 Report.

At about noon on March 2, 1988, Kihl, a hearing officer, commenced a disciplinary hearing on the 12 charges alleged in the two reports. At the outset

they did not have a knock-off button. Although he admitted having a video machine business on the side, he did not have an outside employment form (required by the department) because it was a hobby. Cittadino denied offering poker machines to Rocky but claimed he discussed only video machines.
At that point in the middle of the interview Sgt. Spong played the tape of the *1313 conversation and asked Cittadino if he recognized his voice. Cittadino answered affirmatively and stated that the other person sounded like Rocky. He did not recognize the third voice on the tape. When asked by Sgt. Spong where the tape had been made, he stated that it was probably at Popeyes on Canal Street around February, 1987.
When Sgt. Spong asked whether he offered toprovide poker machines to Rocky at the end of the tape, Cittadino said he did not know how to obtain such machines and did not know why Rocky felt he could. He said he was explaining to Rocky about poker machines. He also disclaimed having a friend who could provide such machines when he was asked by Sgt. Spong to provide the friend's name. When Sgt. Spong asked whether his taped declarations to Rocky "about being able to provide poker machines" were true, Cittadino said: "It's moreorless [sic] a conversation with Rocky." When the sergeant questioned Cittadino as to why he had not terminated the conversation when it became involved in an illegal matter, he answered that he did not know.

with violating the rules and/or procedures in the following instances:
In February, 1987, you met with two subjects, known as Rocky and Jose, at Popeye's [sic] Chicken on Canal St. at Exchange Alley. During your conversation with these two men you attempted to assist them in obtaining Poker Video Machines to be used for illegal purposes.
You were untruthful in the statement you gave to Sgt. Spong on June 21, 1988. In that statement you denied having had a meeting or the conversation in question, until you were allowed to review a tape recording of that conversation. You then admitted that it was your voice on the recording.
The Superintendent found that Cittadino offered nothing at the departmental disciplinary hearing to mitigate or justify his conduct and concurred in the disciplinarycommittee's recommendation for a 120 day suspension.
Cittadino appealed to the Civil Service Commission. At the hearing before the hearing examiner Cittadino testified on cross-examination that he knew Rocky Blimier who had a grocery store on St. Louis and Bourbon Streets. He denied any business dealings with Rocky. He said his wife owned video machines and wanted to place them in Rocky's store. Cittadino denied that he agreed to provide Rocky with poker machines.
Cittadino testified that he gave a statement to Sgt. Mason Spong wherein he said he never made an agreement with Rocky. Cittadino said Sgt. Spong played a taped conversation allegedly between Rocky, himself, and a man called Jose. Cittadino admitted that after hearing the tape he told Sgt. Spong that "[i]t could have been me." At

UP's (formerly Southern Pacific's) Brooklyn Roundhouse (), a 1941-built roundhouse from Brooklyn Rail Yard in Southeast Portland's Brooklyn neighborhood. ORHF comprises several entities, including railway preservation and railfan groups as well as the city's Bureau of Parks & Recreation.
Proposals to construct a new enginehouse to house the historic locomotives were expanded to encompass a visitor center and eventually an interpretive center. After considering other potential sites for an enginehouse, ORHF reached agreement in 2009 on a site near the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI), encompassing about .
Construction
Ground-breaking for the enginehouse took place in October 2011. The three steam locomotives were moved to the site from the Brooklyn Roundhouse on June 26, 2012, and were temporarily placed outdoors, awaiting completion of the enginehouse. With2016. The lead single "Hanging on to Nothing", had been released the previous August. The song failed to chart on the Official Swedish Singles chart, but peaked at number 2 on the Heatseekers chart. On November 5, 2016, the French version of "Hanging on to Nothing" was released titled "Rien que nous deux" ("Only the two of us" in English).

When Deputy Cater and defendant returned to the patrol car, he directed her to place her handbag on the hood of the vehicle and illuminated the *1123 interior of the handbag while she located her license. In the process, Cater observed the contraband which led to defendant's arrest.
Despite the deputy's earlier patdown of the large handbag, it was reasonable for him to direct defendant to place her handbag where, as she opened it, the deputy could ensure she was obtaining her license and not a weapon.

Massacre in Orlando: 86th Instance of Islamist Terror in US Since 9/11
This attack is the 22nd plot or attack since the start of 2015, and the sixth this year. The massacre in Orlando is also the 20th attack or plot aimed at large public gatherings, such as bars and restaurants, shopping malls, parks, and conventions.
Mass gatherings are the second-most common target, just after military targets, which have been targeted 21 times.Homeland Security to Finish Off What Is Left of the American Middle Class After His Crony Banksters Have Looted Us Into Bankruptcy.ON THE DATE A MUSLIM MURDERED 5O AMERICANS, THE OBOMB WAS EASING 10,000 SYRIANS INTO VISAS, AMERICAN JOBS AND WELFARE OFFICES AND VOTING BOOTHS.OBAMA HAS USHERED OVER OUR UNDEFENDED BORDERS MILLIONS OF MEXICANS HE REFERS TO AS "UNREGISTERED DEMS" EVEN AS MEXICAS MURDER ON AVERAGLE 12 AMERICANS (Legals) DAILY.

to ensure that the collections were according to protocol undertaken and serve as the link between the researchers and the vector collectors. The days of collection were left at the discretion of the collectors. In the evening of the sampling night, four window exit traps were fixed in different sections of the communities. Human landing collection was undertaken by two teams of four collectors each \[[@CR22]\]. The teams were constituted in order to have two indoor and two outdoor human landing collections, in different sections of the community. Human landing collections were carried out from 21:00 to 05:00 h. Pyrethrum spray collections were done by the same teams in the morning. Up to ten rooms were sampled by all volunteers in the community, on each collection day, usingstudy communities. In order to validate mosquito sampling done by the CVCs, the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research team collected mosquitoes from the same households as community vector collectors. The mosquitoes collected were compared with the regular sampling done by the CVCs within the same month. Mosquito collection by the research team was done in the third week of April and July 2016. Two households were selected for mosquito collection using human landing catches and window exit traps each catch night. In the morning, ten households were selected for mosquito collection using the pyrethrum spray method. The time for sampling mosquitoes by the research team using the various sampling techniques was the same as that of the CVCs.

NHTSA's Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance contracted with General Testing Laboratories ("GTL") of Leedstown, Virginia to test the seat belts of several vehicles, including the MY 1995 Chrysler Cirrus passenger car. On July 10, 1995, GTL performed a FMVSS No. 210 compliance test on a MY 1995 Chrysler Cirrus passenger car. In testing the seat belt anchorages, rather than replacing the original belt webbing with wire rope to prevent buckle and webbing breakage, as explicitly allowed by FMVSS No. 210, GTL instead placed the pelvic body block a few inches forward from the rear seat back to prevent the plastic seat belt buckles from breaking during the test. The anchorage for the driver's-side rear seat lap belt pulled completely out of the floor after approximately 24 seconds, whenstandard itself failing to satisfy the objectivity requirements set forth in Chrysler Corp. Although the Court finds the standard as interpreted to be objective, the issue raised by Chrysler does merit discussion by the Court.
The government insists that the placement of the pelvic body block during the GTL test is known. The Court disagrees. Not only was the position of the pelvic body block not recorded during the compliance test, statements in the record before the Court raise significant doubts as to the accuracy of the government's contention.[16] Thus, the Court concludes that the exact placement of the pelvic body block is not known.
This finding, however, is not fatal to the government's case for two reasons. First, while the exact placement of the pelvic body block may be

is aberrant and unreasonable, rather than women's participation in political violence.
We suggested, in place of gendered narratives that 'other' violent women, that a relational autonomy approach to understanding choice and obligation was appropriate for understanding people's participation in political violence. Suggesting that looking at women's violence through gender lenses shows gender bias in most accounts of individual choice and individual violence, we built on Nancy Hirschmann's (; ) critique of the assumption that behaviour limitations are always agreed upon either implicitly or explicitly. Arguing that 'the bias of the very structure of obligation (its being defined solely in voluntaristic terms, and the fact that nonvoluntary obligation is an oxymoron) toward a masculinist perspective which automatically excludes women from obligation on an epistemological level', we looked to build amaster didn't say

The Barnetts had Natalia treated for various psychiatric disorders, and while Dr. Phil pointed out that children who grow up in institutional care can experience developmental difficulties, the brain is surprisingly resilient and can compensate for neglect later on. That's to say: No, Natalia Grace is probably not a psychopathic movie villain come to life.
Apparently, Natalia's been living with a new Indiana couple, Antwon and Cynthia Mans, who don't believe she's an "evil dwarf," in Dr. Phil's delicate phrasing. In the interview, Natalia says of the Barnetts, "I actually thought I had found the right family after bouncing around from a lot of families. I thought I had found the right familyfor me." But soon, as Buzzfeed News notes, "Things started going downhill after she underwent a surgery related to her dwarfism...and Kristine Barnett began questioning her age. 'Everything started happening after that one moment,' Natalia said." She identified her conditions as diastrophic dysplasia, as well as scoliosis. Sitting with Dr. Phil, as Natalia watches video testimony of Kristine Barnett's allegations against her, her open expression clearly wilts. She watches as Kristine alleges that she discovered evidence of Natalia having a menstrual cycle and full pubic hair when she was believed to be 8 years old (which Natalia and Cynthia Mans deny), among other claims that Natalia made threats to murder the family and hid knives in the kitchen. Natalia went into detail to recount her version of the

When the Riverdale High School and Smyrna High School (Tenn.) girls basketball teams met in the District 7-AAA consolation game Saturday night, facing them were a perverse set of incentives. The winner would be on track to face national power Blackman in the semifinals of the Region 4-AAA playoffs, while the loser wouldn't meet Blackman until the finals (assuming they made it that far).
Crucially, two and only two teams from the region advance to the state sectionals. If they assumed they would lose to Blackman—both teams already had once this season—the only way to advance to the state sectionals was to lose in the consolation game and be placed on the opposite side of the bracket as Blackman. So, both teams intentionally tried to lose. Via The DailyNews Journal:
In the report, the referee noted that Riverdale "missed 12-16 free throws intentionally." And that Smyrna "wouldn't get the ball across the half-court line to get a 10-second count or to make us call an over and back violation intentionally." The referee said "one time a Riverdale girl looked at one of the officials and gave the official a 3-second signal wanting him to call three seconds on her. Smyrna stood in the lane as well to have us call three seconds on them." The referee wrote that he finally called the coaches together for a meeting after "a Smyrna player was about to attempt a shot at the wrong basket (but there was a 10-second violation call before they attempted the shot) on purpose.

spread across many congressional committees, each of which exercises oversight of a handful of federal agencies. In the past few weeks, half a dozen panels have addressed the administration's plans for STEM education. And while the CJS language may be the harshest, none of the committees has embraced the reorganization.
A bill approved yesterday by the House of Representatives science committee to reauthorize NASA programs, for example, rejects the two key elements of what the administration has proposed—stripping the agency of most of its STEM education agencies and putting the rest under one roof. "The administration may not implement any proposed STEM education and outreach-related changes proposed [for NASA] in the president's 2014 budget request," the bill flatly declares. "Funds devoted to education and public outreach should be maintained: "She is a limpet and I don't think she will stand down until her deal goes through."
Chancellor Philip Hammond also hinted over the weekend that the prime minister would stay on until she had passed her deal, which could come as late as October, when the UK's new Brexit deadline expires.
Theresa May told colleagues in March that she would stand down in the second phase of Brexit negotiations and make way for a new leader, but many MPs believe her failure to pass a deal means she should go sooner to make way for a summer leadership contest.
Former Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith this weekend called publicly for the prime minister resign next month.

(CNN) A week after one of the deadliest mass shootings in modern US history, Florida Gov. Rick Scott announced a comprehensive plan to keep students safe in his state, including suggestions to raise the minimum age to buy a gun, keep weapons out of the hands of the mentally ill and ban the sale of bump stocks.
A former student fatally shot 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland on February 14, sparking renewed and heated debate over the middle point between Second Amendment rights and student safety.
"We must take care of our kids," Scott, a Republican, said at a news conference announcing his three-part plan.
Kai Koerber, a student at Stoneman Douglas who was there the day of the shooting, called the plan "a step inguns. It's common sense, and it is in their own best interest -- not to mention the interests of our communities. And much of what I'm proposing involves giving law enforcement the ability to stop people from harming themselves and others, while giving them the tools to keep our schools safe."
Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel, a Democrat who was re-elected in 2016, was pleased with the news.
"Thank you Gov. Scott and state legislative leaders for proposing a gun and school safety package that incorporates nearly all the ideas (Broward Sheriff's Office) and other sheriffs suggested. This is a strong first step in giving us the proactive ability to keep Florida safer," his office tweeted from its verified account . The targeted high school is in Broward County.

drop. Interestingly enough, more than half of all drug abuse in the US today are suburban women in the same age group, with the most commonly abused drug being Valium. As in the previous era, most of the women in question do not become aware of their addiction until it became life-threatening.
In 1900, the average age of puberty was 16, as was the average age of marriage; more than 60% of the all children were born to mothers under the age of 20. In 2000, the average age of puberty was 11, and the average age of marriage was 23. Less than 10% of all children were born to mothers under the age of 20.
Of the 29000 gun-related deaths in 2001, more than half were suicides; it isequal, the average US citizen born between 1945 and 2000 has an estimated 85% chance of living to the age of 65.
90% of the statistics quoted were fabricated by me as I wrote this, including this one. I assume that most people here will have guessed that. There was a certain amount of research done on them, and they do reflect what at least some experts claim to be the truth. At least a few of them are indeed quoted statistics from various sources (for example, the 5% addiction rate for 1900 comes from Whitbread's "The History of the Non-Medical Use of Drugs in the United States" linked to above), but none of them are actual official statistics AFAIK, and the sources are unverified.

[The tasks of a rehabilitation psychology in teaching, services, and research (author's transl)].
The first Chair of rehabilitation psychology established in the Federal Republic of Germany was started at the Institute of Psychology of Freiburg University in the 1979/1980 winter semester. On the basis of the conviction that interdisciplinarity constitutes a fundamental requirement for work and research in the rehabilitation field, the author discusses the tasks of rehabilitation psychology, and its relationship with medical and vocational rehabilitation. The working conditions faced by psychologists in the rehabilitation facilities as well as the preparation they hitherto used to receive during their studies for work in the rehabilitation field, are criticised. The curriculum developed in Freiburg for "rehabilitation psychology", as one of the fields of applied psychology included the studies for aTesla CEO Elon Musk Fires Back Against 'BS' Reports After Autopilot Crash Two articles questioned why the automaker didn't tell shareholders sooner.

after internet activist Aaron Swartz committed suicide following his indictment on charges related to downloading academic papers.
But as critics have pushed to limit CFAA prosecutions, the government has simultaneously sought to further strengthen and increase the law's scope by calling on lawmakers to both increase the maximum sentence for hacking crimes (.pdf) and expand the definition of unauthorized access.
In the interest of tracking how the law has been used, we've compiled a list of some of the most bizarre and controversial cases prosecuted under it. With most of these examples, how the government used the CFAA was often as much on trial as the defendants who were charged.
Aaron Swartz
Internet activist Aaron Swartz's CFAA prosecution is one of the leading reasons critics want to reform the law. Swartz wasbecause he didn't want any prison time, or a felony conviction on his record. Three months before his trial, Swartz committed suicide, which his family blamed in part on the overzealous prosecution.
Andrew Auernheimer
Andrew Auernheimer (aka "weev"), a self-professed internet troll, was hardly a sympathetic figure when the government brought hacking charges against him and friend Daniel Spitler in 2011. The two discovered a hole in AT&T’s website that allowed them to obtain the email addresses of AT&T iPad users. When iPad users accessed AT&T's website, the site recognized their device ID and displayed their email address. Spitler and Auernheimer wrote a script that managed to harvest about 120,000 email addresses by modeling the behavior of thousands of iPads with unique IDs contacting the website.

Debtor was comprised of five operating divisions and owned
interests in the three parcels of real property which are at the heart of these appeals. The
three land interests consisted of a fee interest in a warehouse located at 2500 Walnut Street,
Roseville, Minnesota ("Walnut Property"); a fee interest in both a warehouse and a nine-hole
golf course located at 13500 South Robert Trail, Rosemount, Minnesota ("Rosemount
Property"); and a leasehold interest in a truck terminal located at 2323 Terminal Road,
Roseville, Minnesota ("Terminal Road Property"),1 which served as the Debtor's primary
place of business.
From 1993 through 1995, Wintz and his companies borrowed more than $11 million
from Leo Wolk and Stanley Kagin ("Wolk and Kagin") in a series of loan transactions. Only
one of the loans was made directlyto Wintz individually
between 1994 and 1995. This collateral included the Walnut and Rosemount Properties.2
On August 1, 1995, the Internal Revenue Service issued and filed federal tax liens in
the amount of $3,369,370.82 against, inter alia, the Debtor, Wintz Properties, and Wintz
himself as alter egos of two other Wintz-related entities, Wintz Parcel Drivers, Inc. ("Parcel
Drivers") and Wintz Freightways, Inc.("Freightways"). As the tax liens were filed with the
Minnesota Secretary of State and also with Hennepin, Dakota, and Ramsey Counties, the
Debtor's interests in the Terminal Road, Walnut, and Rosemount Properties became subject
to IRS collection efforts at that time. Subsequently, on August 25, 1995, the IRS entered into
an Installment Agreement with the parties, as well as with several other Wintz companies,
for the payment of Parcel

Wintz Properties did not, however, make any payments under the purchase agreement
to the Debtor. Moreover, the sale was never memorialized on the Torrens Certificate of
Title, nor was a Quit Claim Deed ever executed and delivered by the Debtor to Wintz
Properties.
Subsequently, on January 1, 1996, the Debtor subleased the Terminal Road Property
to Wintz Properties for a term of five years, ending on December 31, 2000, for the sum of
$900,000.00, payable in monthly installments of $15,000.00 ("Terminal Road Property
Sublease Agreement"). In a First Addendum to the Sublease Agreement, dated March 15,
1996, the term of the lease was extended to December 31, 2004. While the amount of the
installmentfiled an involuntary petition against it
under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. On November 18, 1997, the Debtor
voluntarily converted the case to one under Chapter 11 of the Code. On December 13, 1997,
the Debtor voluntarily reconverted the case to one under Chapter 7. On January 6, 1998,
Charles W. Ries was elected as the Chapter 7 Trustee.
On the petition date, the Debtor was in arrears on its monthly mortgage payments to
Premier Bank on the Terminal Road Property. Premier Bank then obtained relief from the
automatic stay with regard to the property on October 14, 1997. Thereafter, and pursuant to
its exercise of its Assignment of Rents, Premier Bank began collecting rents on the Terminal
Road Property, making its lease payments, and maintaining

January 30, 1996, and January 31, 1996, and carrying the explanatory captions, "Transfer

Debtor's balance sheet as of March 26, 1996 for the period ending January 31, 1995, and as
of March 11, 1997 for the period ending January 31, 1996, purportedly substantiate Wintz
Properties' assertion that it paid $1,045,582.70 for its receipt of the Debtor's interest in the
Terminal Road Property in the form of the assumption of an $800,000.00 liability to Premier
Bank and a payable for the balance, in the amount of $245,582.70. Further, in his Affidavit,
Jeffrey J. Stutzman, a certified public accountant retained by Wintz Properties to review
business records and practices surrounding Properties began to perform on its obligations by making payments to
Premier Bank and by taking over responsibility for operation and
management of the Terminal Road Property.
In support of its second assertion, Wintz Properties argues severally as to the Walnut,
Rosemount, and Terminal Road Properties. First, and with respect to the Walnut Property,
Wintz Properties asserts that the Trustee failed to give proper notice of default, and failed to
provide Wintz Properties with the requisite opportunity to cure, under the Walnut Property
Lease Agreement. In this connection, the Lease Agreement provides:

or any other payments related to the Leased
Premises made by [Wintz Properties] on behalf of [the Debtor].
Finally, in his Affidavit, Dean E. Davidson, Vice President of Firstar, states that as of August
10, 1998, "no party is in default of any of the payments called for in the Forebearance
Agreement."
Third, and with respect to the Terminal Road Property, Wintz Properties makes the
following arguments with reference to Premier Bank's having been granted relief from stay,
having exercised its Assignment of Rents, and to the order of the Minnesota district court
appointing a receiver:

motion. At the August Hearing, the court indicated that it would grant the Trustee's Motion
for Summary Judgment as to his request to avoid the conveyances of the Debtor's interests

constructive fraud. At the September Hearing, the bankruptcy court indicated that it would
grant the Trustee's Motion for Summary Judgment as to his request to avoid the conveyance
of the Rosemount Property from Spindrift and Lenertz, and also that it would grant the

Chester. Odd, indeed. Because that's the heart of Downtown.
A couple of investigators soon chase down a lead in "West Chester." Turns out, the duo meet their source for coffee in Nicholson's Tavern & Pub on Walnut Street – also Downtown.
Dixie Terminal earned top billing: The elegant arcade played a huge role in "Marauders." It served as the lobby for the Hubert National Bank. Built in the 1920s, the Fourth Street historic building once served as streetcar terminal. The shots of the architectural details will make you want to check it out for yourself. Fun fact: Dixie Terminal also appeared in 1988's "Rain Man."
The Cincinnati(ish) things they said: A character lived in Indian Hill. Another had planes at Lunken Airport. Oh, and Christopher Meloni's character jokes that he livesin Akron "next to Lebron."
Other things we spotted: Lots of red wine at Nicholson's Tavern & Pub. That "jazz club?" That was next door at Horse & Barrel. In the background of a car driving scene, we spot a Speedway and The Radisson Hotel Cincinnati Riverfront. (You know, the one with the revolving restaurant on top.) O'Malleys In the Alley on Ogden Place. A helicopter flies by Carew Tower. And we even head underground to an old brewery tunnel for a pivotal scene.
We owe the bank. In one of the first scenes, a bank worker explains the history of Hubert National Bank, run by Bruce Willis' character. He says that other cities had tried to lure the company away from Cincinnati, but it "stuck to our roots." He

services. Vicki Lubrin, Lubrin's wife, provided bookkeeping services for the company.
Evergreen entered into two one-year leases with the fairgrounds, one for swap meets and the second for a Christmas fair. Neither contract had a renewal option. Evergreen also got some three-year sponsorships paid in advance by area businesses wishing to have their names displayed at the Christmas fair. Throughout the first year, the parties held swap meets and the Christmas fair. They purchased lights and related equipment for the Christmas fair's "one million lights" display. At the end of the year, the parties met to plan for the next year.
Several weeks after the meeting, Lubrin met with Noble and offered him $19,323.89 to terminate the agreements between them and let Lubrin retain Noble's stock and all assets ofadvice from the Secretary of State's office about how to dissolve the corporation. On July 10, 1999, the Secretary of State administratively dissolved the corporation because Evergreen had not filed its annual registration.
When Lubrin decided not to continue Evergreen with Noble, he and his wife started a partnership called Sky Valley Productions. Sky Valley entered into license agreements with the fairgrounds to hold swap meets and a Christmas fair in 1999 and 2000. Sky Valley honored the agreements that Evergreen had with local businesses, mentioning their names as promoters because they felt "a personal obligation to [do] so." Sky Valley used the lights Lubrin was storing to present Sky Valley's Christmas fair. In 1999, Sky Valley lost money, and in 2000, it made a profit of $1,500.

As the tournament went on, we realized how close the games were. We realized we had to work hard to win and we didnt want to be the guys to blow the chance of getting the United States in the Olympics. Once we reached the medal round, that took a lot of pressure off our backs."
The Pan Am tournament accomplished two important goals, aside from the obvious one of getting Team USA into the Olympics. It showed professional players and executives, many of whom had no experience (or interest) in international baseball, that international competition was something special.
Outfielder Mike Neill, a minor league veteran now in the Mariners organization, felt the intensity more than anyone. He drove in the winning run against Mexico in the Pan Am semifinals(for more on Neills hit, see Page 23) and said the pressure was unlike any he had ever experienced in the game.
"Getting selected again, the guys who experienced the Pan Am Games realized what were in for," he said. "Its much more serious. The baseball is unbelievably competitive."
And it proved to the people picking the team, many of whom returned to help select the Olympic squad, that America had good players beyond the big leaguers and top prospects.
"Our experience with the Pan Am games demonstrated that below the tier of the major leagues, there are a lot of players very similar in ability," Alderson said. "They have not had the spotlight shone on them, but several have since established themselves in the big leagues. One of the things

the heart to tell her that I wasn't wrong about the danger. I only misinterpreted that Paul was the one presenting the danger, when in reality it was he who was in danger. Rachael was excited and offered to give me a ride home.
Just as we were halfway to Rachael's car, I saw Max's huge truck up against the curb and his eyes searching faces of the army of students exiting the building. "Hey, Max is here. Let me see what's going on." Rachael followed me to Max's truck.
Chapter Nineteen
Max saw me approaching his truck with Rachael a few feet behind. He looked rested and seemed really upbeat when he explained, "I know you said that you had plans after school today, but after last night I wantedto 'involve' you when I did something you felt might be dangerous. Do you want me to meet him at a coffee shop or at his grandmother's house?"
Max's lip tightened into two thin hard lines, his brow furrowed, and every muscle in his face seemed to be tight, "I don't want you to meet with him at all."
"That wasn't one of the options. Grandma's or coffee shop?"
"Can I talk to him?" I handed the phone over. "Paul, this is Lauren's boyfriend, Max. Lauren wants to meet with you, but I'd rather she not meet with you by herself. I'm sure you understand. Will your grandmother be upset if we come over or do you want to meet in a coffee shop?"

the Detective. The two talked briefly, then I heard, "I'll get her statement and meet you at the station as soon as I'm done here. Yeah, I'll tell them."
While Max stayed in the room, I relayed the events of the night in as much detail as I could remember. I wasn't able to give a good description of the man that had impersonated a policeman and shot Paul. The detective asked me questions throughout. After I had relayed the whole story, he asked me a few more, "Did Paul seem to recognize the person that shot him?"
I paused for a minute and thought about it. "Right before Paul died he said something that didn't make sense. He said 'Not a cop, Ms. McMasters' something, then he died."
"Where wereI hadn't remembered to ask Seth what was going on with them, whether he decided to take that job over the summer or stay closer to home. I had seen Rachael at Paul's funeral. She didn't seem to be taking his death that hard. They had only gone out once. If he hadn't been shot, I wondered what would have happened with them.
Of course, all these thoughts were spinning in my head all at once. Talking to Max was probably the only thing that would keep my mind from spinning out of control. The trail got a little wider ahead, so I moved up to ride beside him and asked, "So when do you have to go back to work?"

first movie Hunterwali(1935) was the first movie to have a sequel. This was an action movie with Fearless Nadia as lead role. This movie is one of the earliest female-lead movies.
From the Wikipedia page of the movie:
A story of a princess who fights injustice as the masked crusader Hunterwali (lit. "lady with the whip"), the film propelled Nadia and the Wadia brothers of Wadia Movietone to fame.
Because of this movie's success, Nadia became a popular actress and a popular stunt woman. She starred in numerous action movies.
Reception:
Hunterwali was a runaway success and a bonanza in terms of money earned, as it ran for 25 weeks making record earnings for the year.This was Nadia's and Wadia Movietone's first big success.
As a sequel of this movie,another movie was released. It is Hunterwali Ki Beti(1943). This movie was also a blockbuster just like the first movie.
From the Wikipedia page of the movie:
Hunterwali Ki Beti is a Bollywood film. It was released in 1943, and is the sequel to the 1935 film Hunterwali.3 Both films starred Fearless Nadia as the heroine and were produced by the Wadia brothers JBH and Homi (her husband) of Wadia Movietone.
This movie series made the suffix wali famous in Indian films and many movies were released with this suffix like Cyclewali(1938), Motorwali(1942)

first thing you think of with Iowa State football. The program hadn't had a 4-0 October in 80 years.
"I didn't even know that," Campbell said. "I had zero idea that existed. That's honest."
Campbell gets his advice from his dad, his former high school coach and his college coach, the retired Mount Union icon Larry Kehres.
"A guy I constantly talk to," Campbell said. "We're getting ready to play a rain game, I'll say, 'Coach what kind of advice do you have?'"
At Mount Union, he won three Division III national championships as a player under Kehres, losing just one of his 55 games. The Toledo turnaround included winning less than nine games once in five seasons. In his first season here, the Clones went 3-9.
"The humility piece," Campbell said Monday,repeating a familiar mantra, "is not something our society as a whole is good at."
To counter that, Campbell favors defense, team over self, precision and sacrifice. The Cyclones are one of two teams yet to lose a fumble this season. In the last 14 quarters, the defense has allowed only 27 points. Walk-on quarterback Kyle Kempt has the most Big 12 wins by a Cyclone quarterback (four) since 2010 -- all this month. Lanning was asked to switch to middle linebacker after starting 14 games at quarterback over two seasons.
"Growing up, I always wanted to be a quarterback," said Lanning from nearby Ankeny. "I was going to be an NFL quarterback someday. Wasn't having the greatest success doing it."
Playing both ways against Oklahoma, Lanning was on the field

for 78 snaps. He recovered a fumble, posted a sack, passed for 25 yards and rushed for 35 yards. Kempt's backup under center that day was named the Walter Camp national defensive player of the week.
Every coach in some way teaches core values, but Campbell codifies it with signs regarding manners throughout the facility. He calls it the "Cyclone Code of Conduct."
"It's always 'yes sir, no sir' around coaches," Lanning said. "And Miss Erica out there."
That would be assistant to the head coach Erica Genise, literally the first face you see entering the facility. She was only the former director of football operations at Stanford and Notre Dame.
It concludes, "I AM THE RESPECTFUL CYCLONE!" Dennis Dodd / CBS Sports
Who knew there was a 44-game streak here of atleast 50,000 fans? Or that one of the first texts the coaching staff received was from NFL rookie sensation Kareem Hunt. Yup, this Iowa State staff helped develop Hunt at Toledo.
And so we're left, for now, with an old-fashioned feel-good story. Campbell is 37, looks at least 10 years younger and spits values that suggest he's been around for 30 years.
The big TCU win was celebrated at home Saturday night with Campbell meeting the new family dog, a goldendoodle puppy named Rex.
"Only we would take on that in the month of this," the coach said.
This month has been life-changing. It took McCarney five years to get above .500. That 9-3 record in 2000 tied the 94-year old school record for wins. Needless to say, Iowa State hasn't been

Initiatives cited
Walker counters that he puts little emphasis on polls. He points to several initiatives he's brought forward to work with Democrats and others on the left:
Last week Walker unveiled a new initiative with state schools Superintendent Tony Evers, a nonpartisan official allied with Democrats, to track student progress and judge the quality of both public and private schools that receive tax dollars. Walker and Evers say they will seek approval from the U.S. Department of Education to allow the new school accountability system to replace the decade-old, federally imposed one they label as broken.

the project, but Bangkok leaned toward Beijing, which was more sympathetic to Thailand's military-led regime that took over in a coup in 2014.
To officials in Tokyo, the growing Bangkok-Beijing ties came as a shock, and drove home the message that the geopolitical landscape is shifting.
In the past 10 years, China replaced Japan as Thailand's biggest trading partner and emerged as the second-largest foreign direct investor after Japan. More than 10 million visitors from China a year also provide an important source of foreign exchange for a country that has seen only sluggish growth amid continued political turmoil.
But some in Thailand have voiced unease about the country's growing dependence on China.
"Thailand must have a strategy to create a balance between investments of different countries, not to depend on orbe biased toward just a certain country," Dr. Anusorn Tamjai, a former Bank of Thailand board member, said. "If we lose the ability to maintain the balance, we could be overpowered and influenced by the Chinese capital."
Dr. Surachart Bamrungsuk, professor of political science at Chulalongkorn University, said the rail links will have a major impact on Thailand's national security. "Certainly, a high-speed train is a 'political train' since it is part of China's strategic plan to connect Southeast Asia to China," Surachart said.
Workers inspect a new Fuxing bullet train on Jan. 4 before it goes into service the following day. The train has a maximum speed of 350 kph. (Xinhua)

a U.S. security expert, said that the bombing would make Israel and the U.S. wary in their future dealings with Jordan.[94]
William Saletan noted the mischaracterization of the attack as "an act of terrorism" in many media reports. As terrorism targets civilians, and the CIA employees were conducting a war, he states that the bombing was clearly "an act of war. It was also espionage. But it wasn't terrorism."[95]
In popular culture
The Camp Chapman attack was dramatized in the 2012 film Zero Dark Thirty. The "Jessica" character, modeled on Jennifer Lynne Matthews, is killed in the attack.[96] Several people who knew Matthews complained that the portrayal was not very accurate.[97]Constructors, Inc. ("Merit"), and the owner of twenty-five percent of its outstanding stock. Merit and Tennessee Pipe Fabricators, Inc., ("Tennessee Pipe") were engaged in a joint venture of fabrication and installation work at the Manville manufacturing plant in Etowah, Tennessee, and during the period of March through July 1986, Manville issued and sent to Tennessee Pipe six checks aggregating $130,420.92 and made payable jointly to Tennessee Pipe and Merit. In the usual course of business, Tennessee Pipe forwarded checks such as these to Merit's accounting office for deposit. These six checks, however, were deposited into Tennessee Pipe's account at Southeast Federal without a written endorsement by Merit.

Judd Apatow was one of the first to publicly vocalize his disdain for Bill Cosby after the first wave of reports broke and has continued to blast the comedy legend on social media and in various late-night appearances, including yesterday's "Daily Show" one. Tuesday night he sat down with Seth Meyers on "Late Night" to explain why he's not sorry for doing so.
"Some people say 'why talk about it?' Which is kinda like saying 'leave a rapist alone!,'" Apatow said. "Aren't we supposed to say we don't like this?"

True, there followed a smattering of posters featuring characters cobbled together into pictures that had fans wondering whether they were just fan made or in fact the real deal (one featured the White Council (Ed: with Eowyn subbing in for Galadriel), another featured Bolg who appeared in a blink-and-you-miss-it capacity in the first film, yet another featured the 13 Dwarves in what some fans termed the “floating heads poster”, and one even showed Thorin twice in the same picture!).
Towards the end of 2012, around the time of the first film’s release, four IMAX character posters were released.
In the final tally of An Unexpected Journey’s posters, only the initial ones that included the 17 3D Comic Con character posters could stand as a proud testament to the elegance anddetail that the entire production has exhibited towards the cinematic world of Middle-earth.
Which brings us to 2013… once again, it was around the time of Comic-Con that the production released a rather breathtaking poster. It featured Bilbo standing on a lonely height amid the dreary ruins of Erebor — a most apt image that seemed to capture the very essence of the second film’s ominous title, The Desolation Of Smaug.
The second film is rich with characters who hold promise of coming into their own by the final installment of the trilogy. These characters represent beloved favourites from the book alongside some new ones envisioned by PJ & Company.
And yet there have been no posters attempting to pique our interest in them, not even though the potential seems tremendous

Risk assessment of external events in nuclear facilities.
After the Chernobyl accident, a National Emergency Plan of protective measures for radiological emergencies has been set up in Italy to cope with nuclear risks which require actions at national level. Since the Italian nuclear power plants are, at present, not operational, the most relevant nuclear risk source identified in the National Emergency Plan is related to an accident occurring in a nuclear power plant near the Italian borders. However, risks related to severe accidents to other nuclear facilities present in Italy, such as provisional radioactive waste deposits or research centers are not taken into account in the Plan. In this paper the hypothetical radiological impact of a severe external event in a spent fuel storage pool has been evaluated, asNepenthes danseri
Nepenthes danseri (; after B. H. Danser, botanist) is a species of tropical pitcher plant. It is known only from the northern coast of Waigeo Island; plants from Halmahera, the largest of the Maluku Islands, are now recognised as belonging to a separate species, N. halmahera.
Nepenthes danseri was formally described in 1997 by Matthew Jebb and Martin Cheek in their monograph "A skeletal revision of Nepenthes (Nepenthaceae)", published in the botanical journal Blumea. However, the name N. danseri had already been in use since at least 1994.
Nepenthes danseri most commonly inhabits open scrub or bare soils on ultramafic rock. Plants also occur in forest, but these do not produce pitchers, probably due to the high light requirements of this species. Nepenthes danseri has been recorded from sea level to

In this conversation, Burens stated that he was under pressure from General Electric's other division managers who feared their pricing structures would be under attack from customers because of the chaos which then existed in the switchgear and oil circuit breaker markets. This recalled to Scott the similar circumstances of inter-divisional pressures within General Electric which resulted in I-T-E being dragged into meetings in the 1930's.

Before the Le Plongeons left Mexico City to

a prominent spot at the museum. They were also feted by the diplomatic
corps and prominent members of the American community over the course of
several months. On one such occasion Judge Morgan gave a ball in
honor of Alice. The Le Plongeons arrived late, because Alice, "with
the help of her lady friends," had to fix one of herdresses for the occasion.
When they finally arrived, around 10 pm, Judge Morgan began introducing
them to his guests. One guest invited to meet Dr. Le Plongeon was
Desire Charnay, the French photographer who had first come to Mexico in
the late 1850s. Judge Morgan supposed that Charnay, who had photographed
the ruins in Yucatan in the 1860s, would have much in common with the Augustus.
When Charnay, who was conversing with a corres-pondent
of The New York World, heard Le Plongeon being introduced to someone behind
him, he turned and asked Augustus if he was indeed Dr. Le Plongeon.
Apparently Charnay was not as thrilled with the meeting as the host had
expected him to be. Augustus recalled, "On being answered in the
affirmative, he soon rose and was seen no more in the ballroom or any where

London (CNN Business) Companies in the United Kingdom are spending less and scaling back plans because of Brexit fears that have pushed business confidence to its lowest level in a decade.
The dire outlook was revealed Monday in surveys published by Deloitte and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales
on Sunday provided one of the clearest examples of the damage Brexit uncertainty is doing when it scrapped plans to build its new X-Trail SUV in England
Britain is scheduled to leave the European Union in 53 days, but progress toward an exit agreement has stalled because of deep political divisions in the United Kingdom. It's unclear how Britain will trade with its biggest export market after March 29.
The 110 chief financial officers surveyed by Deloitte said that Brexitprepare for the worst.
"This survey shows that uncertainty over Brexit is driving a marked shift towards defensive balance sheet strategies among British businesses," he said in a statement.
The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales found that business confidence is now at "its lowest level for nearly a decade."
"Companies at the moment are unclear about the future," Michael Izza, the group's CEO, said in a statement. "As the [Brexit] roulette wheel continues to spin, UK plc is having to place its bets based on best guesswork."
The survey results were based on 1,000 telephone interviews with members of the accounting group.

NY, Counsel for Softbank AM Corporation, f/k/a, Softbank Finance Corporation, and Softbank Investment Corporation.
MEMORANDUM OF OPINION
ALLAN L. GROPPER, United States Bankruptcy Judge.
This is an adversary proceeding brought by the chapter 11 trustee (the "Trustee") and Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the "Committee," and together with the Trustee, "Plaintiffs") appointed in the chapter 11 case of MarketXT Holdings Corp. ("MarketXT Holdings," "Tradescape," or the "Debtor"). Defendants are Softbank AM Corporation, f/k/a Softbank Finance Corporation ("Softbank Finance Japan") and Softbank Investment Corporation ("Softbank Investment") as managing partner of Softbank Contents Fund ("Softbank Contents," and together with Softbank Finance Japan and Softbank Investment, "Softbank" or "Defendants"). The complaint (as amended, the "Complaint") complains of a series of transactions between the Defendants and the Debtors between July 1999 and March 2003. Theits affiliates collectively owned 24% of the Debtor's common stock.[1]
The July 1999 Subscription Agreement gave Softbank Finance Japan the right to designate one member of the Debtor's board of directors, and one or more of Softbank's designated representatives attended each of the Debtor's board of directors meetings between July 1999 and December 2002. Additionally, a Tradescape board resolution of April 14, 2000 provided that at least one Softbank-designated director had to be present at a board meeting in order for a quorum to exist.
On October 12, 2000 the Tradescape Shareholders Agreement was amended to increase the directors designated by Softbank from one to two. Between July 1999 and October 2000, Softbank Finance Japan designated, first Yoshitaka Kitao ("Kitao"), the CEO of Softbank Finance Japan and a director of

Softbank Corp., and thereafter Robert Takeuchi ("Takeuchi"), the president of Softbank Finance America, to serve on Tradescape's board. In or about October 2000, Softbank Finance Japan designated Shingi Yamauchi ("Yamauchi") as Softbank's second director. Yamauchi and Takeuchi continued to serve as Softbank's designated directors until they resigned in December 2002.
At the Tradescape board of directors meeting held on. February 19, 2002, the board passed a resolution appointing the members of the board of directors of Tradescape to serve as well on the board of directors of Tradescape's various subsidiaries, including MarketXT, Inc (whose acquisition is discussed below).
The 1999 E*Trade Offer for Tradescape and Alleged Softbank Involvement
The Complaint alleges that in July 1999, soon after Tradescape had acquired Momentum and while the Childs $30 million investment in Tradescape wasDebtor.
The MarketXT Merger
Thereafter, Amanat began merger discussions with Michael Sanderson ("Sanderson") and Michael Satow ("Satow"), the principals of MarketXT, Inc. ("MarketXT"), a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission that operated as an electronic communications network. It is alleged that Kitao agreed that Softbank Finance Japan would head up a consortium of private investors that would invest an additional $100 million in the merged company. In February 2000, the Debtor agreed to acquire MarketXT in return for $100 million of the Debtor's stock. While the merger did not formally close until September 2000, by the spring of that year, allegedly at the urging of Softbank, management of the two companies began to coordinate their efforts and operations as if the companies had already combined. Softbank subsequently failed

2001, *378 when the loan went into default. It is alleged that on and after February 17, 2001, the Debtor was illiquid and unable to pay its debts as they became due in the ordinary course of its business.
Fall 2001
In early September 2001, Tradescape resumed merger discussions with Ameritrade. However, the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center exacerbated the Debtor's operational and cash flow problems. Indeed, the Complaint alleges that by late fall 2001, the Debtor had exhausted its available cash and required an additional $5 to $10 million merely to continue to operate. Amanat, in consultation with other members of management, determined that it would be in the Debtor's best interest to conduct a sale of Momentum. Between November 2001 and March 2002, atStock Agreement provided that the "principal individual stockholders" of Tradescape (including Amanat, his father, Dr. Sharif Amanat, and James Lee, the President of Momentum and Executive Vice-President of Tradescape) would execute personal guaranties of the August 2000 Note (the "Officer Guaranties") and that the Debtor would repay the August 2000 Note and the preferred stock liquidation preference concurrently with a closing of the sale of Momentum.
Softbank Finance Japan became the sole holder of the Debtor's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. The preferred shares had the rights provided in the Certificate of Designations attached as Annex A to the Preferred Stock Agreement. Section 6(b) of the Certificate of Designations provided:
So long as any shares of any Series are outstanding, in addition to any

about. March 28, 2003, the Debtor issued a second promissory note to Softbank in the amount of $6,119,088.57 (the "March 2003 Note"), representing the shortfall between what the Debtor had promised to pay Softbank in the Softbank Payoff Agreement on the August 2000 and *383 May 2002 Loans ($17.3 million) and the $11.8 million which was actually paid.
Subsequent Litigation and Bankruptcy
On or about August 25, 2003, Softbank Finance Japan commenced litigation in New York State Court seeking payment of the balance of the. January 2003 and the March 2003 Notes. The Debtor failed to defend the action, Softbank's motion for a default in the amount of $18,429,808.74 was granted, and a default judgment was entered on December 9, 2004. On April 8, 2004, after it had become clearthat the parties would not be able to reach a settlement, the Debtor filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against, among others, Son, Takeuchi, Yamauchi, Fisher, Softbank Finance Japan and Softbank Corp. The suit alleged, in part, that the Debtor had been improperly pressured to enter into the Softbank Payoff Agreement.[5]
On March 26, 2004, an involuntary chapter 7 case was commenced against the Debtor. The case was converted to a voluntary chapter 11 by order dated December 2, 2004, and a chapter 11 trustee was appointed shortly thereafter. Softbank Finance Japan filed two proofs of claim (Claim Nos. 27 and 50) in the Debtor's chapter 11 case, and Softbank Investment Corporation as managing partner of Softbank Contents Fund

of the Complaint as barred by a release contained in Section 4(b) of the Softbank Payoff Agreement (the "Release"), since the conduct related to these Counts is alleged to have occurred before April 2003, which is when the Release took effect. Plaintiffs attack the Re lease on the ground that it was entered into without proper authorization, was ultra vices and was intended to cover only claims relating to certain specific litigation.
Lack of Authority
Count XIX of the Complaint seeks a declaratory judgment that the Softbank Payoff Agreement and Release is not binding on the Debtor because at the time it was signed, Amanat had resigned as an officer and director and lacked authority to bind the Debtor, and that in any event the Agreement was never approved bythe Debtor's Board. Defendants counter that Amanat did not comply with the requirements of Delaware law in tendering his resignation, and that he was in any case still acting as the chief executive officer of the Debtor with authority to bind the Company.
It does not appear contested that the resignation tendered by Amanat was initially transmitted in the form of an email' sent on November 26, 2002. The email stated that Amanat was giving 60 days' notice of his resignation as provided in his employment agreement and was also resigning as a member of the Board. (Compl.Ex.47.) Under the terms of the resignation it would have become effective shortly before the date of the Payoff Agreement. Defendants argue, nevertheless, that the resignation was not effective because it was

flushed out from escaping, but the bulk of the load would fall on the men in that truck. "I think people were thinking we were hooping and hollering, like a bunch of rednecks," Kanavel says. "This was a police operation."
Angelo, the best shot, took the first pull, at a lion in the horse pasture more than one hundred yards away. (It might have been the same lion that Sam Kopchak had encountered. He remained hunkered down in his tack room, startled when the shooting began in earnest. "It sounded like there was a war going on out there," Kopchak says. "Just boom, boom, boom, boom.") That lion went down quickly — struck in the head by Angelo's single bullet — and the five men allowed themselves to believefor a moment that maybe this whole awful mess wouldn't be so bad. But then two tigers ran out from behind the wooden barn and bolted toward the truck.
The tigers were a band apart. Jack Hanna, the famed wildlife expert and the director emeritus of the Columbus Zoo — who had joined the convoys now steaming toward the farm — would later tell an old story about an escaped tiger. He had watched, terrified, while a veterinarian had tried to tranquilize the animal. It had responded to the dart by covering eighteen feet in a single leap, knocking down the veterinarian and eviscerating him.
The two tigers were within eight feet of the truck when the men opened fire, Kanavel absorbing the kicks from his AR-15. Both cats went

Docket No. 00-1572
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT
Argued: Jan. 29, 2001
Decided: March 29, 2001
[Copyrighted Material Omitted]
Robert J. Anello, New York, NY (Morvillo, Abramowitz, Grand, Iason & Silberberg, PC, of counsel), for Defendant-Appellant.
James J. Benjamin, Jr., Assistant United States Attorney, New York, NY (Mary Jo White, United States Attorney, Jamie L. Kogan, Assistant United States Attorney, of counsel), for Appellee.
Before OAKES, STRAUB and POOLER, Circuit Judges.
Defendant was convicted of insider trading and conspiracy following a jury trial in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Kimba Wood, Judge, presiding.
Reversed inthat there is insufficient evidence to support the conspiracy count, although sufficient evidence exists to support McDermott's conviction on the substantive offenses. Nevertheless, because of the variance between the single conspiracy charged in the indictment and the proof adduced at trial, we find that McDermott was prejudiced to the point of being denied a fair trial. Accordingly, we reverse the conspiracy count and remand for a new trial on the substantive counts.
BACKGROUND

The present prosecution arose out of a triangulated love affair involving the president of a prominent investment bank, a pornographic film star and a New Jersey businessman.

Until May 1999, McDermott was the president, CEO and Chairman of Keefe Bruyette & Woods ("KBW"), an investment bank headquartered in New York City that specializes in mergers and acquisitions in

Allegedly.
But here's the rub, Perez says she wrote some of the letters herself and that she saw a composite on America's Most Wanted in 2007 of her father as the Zodiac Killer, and began to remember it all. So, you know, she may be delusional in addition to being sanity-estranged. (However, according to attorney Kevin McLean, the man who lead this most recent investigation, "Everyone is going to say she is crazy, but we had psychologists examine Ms. Perez." Word is, though, that McLean isn't a beacon of mental clarity himself.)
For many years, people fingered Arthur Leigh Allen, a child molester from Vallejo who died in 1992, as the Zodiac Killer.STAGE TUBE: George Takei Talks ALLEGIANCE on San Diego 6

*340 The Government's evidence portrayed the following lurid situation. The minor came to this city from an adjoining state and stayed with two different girl friends for about a month, when she met the appellant. After she had a few dates with him, they engaged in sexual relations. She then went to live with him, at one address for about a week, then to the residence at which they were found by the police, after they had been living there continuously as man and wife for several months. Appellant stated to the police that he did not live at the address where he was arrested in bed with the complainant, but that he lived with his mother and "he kept [that] address for thepurpose of taking women that he picked up." Officers testified that at police headquarters complainant, in the presence of appellant, told of their meeting and their living together as man and wife at the residence where they were found. He admitted the truth of her statements and said he had nothing to add. While the minor testified she had told appellant she was 21 and had shown him a "birth certificate", the police officers testified that appellant stated to them that the minor had told him "she was either 20 or 21," and had shown him a piece of paper at one time that was supposed to have been a "birth certificate"; that he had not read the paper but "she just had it in her hand"; that

These 12 Hilarious Bernie Sanders Memes About Hair & Socialism Will Make You #FeelTheBern
There's one Democratic candidate out there who shouldn't be underestimated, as these Bernie Sanders memes will show you. Recent polls in New Hampshire show him picking up 31 percent of the vote among likely Democratic primary voters, compared to Hillary Clinton's 41 percent. He's a self-proclaimed socialist, and is the longest serving Independent in U.S. history. In college, he marched for civil rights, and he once wrote a letter to President Obama asking him to raise taxes without Congress. He's further to the left than Clinton, that's for sure, but that doesn't mean he's doomed to fail. At the very least, he'll pull Clinton to the left, and at most, he'll come out on top.
He'sVolleyball out-battles Battle Mountain
The Moffat County High School volleyball team hopped on the bus knowing its trip down to Battle Mountain was for one of the most important matches of the season. When they arrived six hours early, it also became one of the most anticipated of the season.
"It was already a big match for us," said senior Kate Schafer. "Before it finally started we said, 'We've waited so long for this, we better win.'"
When the Bulldogs started out, it looked like they had been lying around all day, as the Huskies took the first game, 15-5.
"They started out sluggish and weren't talking," said assistant coach Scot Brown. "But after that, they played fairly error-free."
Coming into the match, Battle Mountain was struggling with losses in its last six

flat on the written page. What is screamingly hilarious to hear him say, provokes no laughter when read. It's just dull. This book was supposed to be about his encounters with religion, from his own experiences as a non-observant Jew to commentaries on other religions. There are some humorous parts, sure, but this is one that would absolutely benefit by having the audio book read by the author. I forced myself to finish it, although the last part of the book includes the text of a play that he co-wrote and starred in many years ago. I did not find it hilarious. I hope he sticks to the stand-up from now on.
Free For All: Oddballs, Geeks, and Gangstas in the Public Library by Don Borchert. Since I workin a library, I was very interested to read about another librarian's day to day life. After reading this book, I went to my library, fell to the ground, kissed the slightly grubby carpeting, and wept with joy that I don't work in a PUBLIC library. Mr. Borchert is a "Library Assistant" (we are reminded numerous times that he "doesn't have his degree") at a public library branch in Los Angeles. I was horrified to read about the trials and tribulations of the library staff: disgusting items left in the book drop, dozens of children dropped off for hours every day to take advantage of the "free day care" offered by the library, and calling the police an average of 3 times per day. Really, the people that

(A/BI) showed insignificant change in all groups compared with the control group. There was significant decrease of plasma levels of AM and ghrelin in group III compared with group I. The results revealed that AM and ghrelin were positively correlated with peripheral nerves motor and sensory conduction velocities. The altered concentration of AM and ghrelin in diabetic neuropathy could indicate a pathophysiological role. The decline of plasma levels of AM and ghrelin in diabetic neuropathy may be a causative factor, they have neuroprotective and vasculoprotective effects, so their lack could induce neuronal injury and advancement of neuropathy, but the precise role of AM and ghrelin in the pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy is still to be elucidated.1.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for binding a carrier plate, used in a silicon wafer polishing apparatus, to a silicon wafer.
1. Prior Art
In the polishing of a monocrystal silicon wafer (hereafter referred to as just "wafer"), a fixed carrier plate is bonded to a plurality of wafer sheets: this carrier plate is then casted into the polishing apparatus and the polishing of the wafer is carried out.
In the prior art disclosed in First Publication Laid open number 63-245366, when a wafer is being bonded to the aforementioned carrier plate, wax has been previously applied to the inside of the wafer as a binding agent. A plurality of wafers are then placed on top of the carrier plate and after adhesion, the bonding

into all other combat specialties, says Maj. Gen. Mike Murray, commander of the 3rd Infantry Division, whose soldiers are taking part in the study at Fort Stewart.
Yet there remain serious reservations among many in the military about putting women in combat roles – particularly, defense analysts say, in the Marine Corps. Col. Jeffrey Conner, who heads the training program for entry-level marines, says no one wants to compromise combat readiness.
"The Marine Corps is in the process of researching in a deliberate, measured, responsible way how to integrate female marines to the greatest extent possible," he says. "The male marines – and the female marines as well – understand that this is still an open question."
• • •
The opening days of testing at Fort Stewart looked less like anunprecedented military endeavor and more "like a high school dance," says Murray. The 60 female and 90 male volunteers taking part in the experiment mingled very little at first.
One week later, as troops jogged together, shared meals in the mess hall, and bonded over tough physical conditioning, "They really became integral teams," he says.
The process did involve overcoming some initial skepticism. "There were times at the beginning the males were saying, 'I don't understand why we're doing this,' " says Kemp, a cavalry scout who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. "They would say, 'I'm nervous about working with females.' "
The key to the success of the training, Army officials believed, would be for the men not to feel as if the women were getting any special treatment –

She bounced back. "I said, 'OK, then, get me as close to the action as you can.' "
For the next four years, she went to war, working as an air battle manager on a jet aircraft crew. Her job was to monitor troop convoys on the ground.
Then she applied for a special assignment, as a liaison officer who would deploy with Special Operations units and call in air support when they were under fire. Her application was denied because she was a woman.
"At that point I realizedsays Murray, the commander of the 3rd Infantry Division at Fort Stewart. "I think the Army will be better 10 years from now because of this effort."
Pfc. Alexandra Seccareccio would like to think so. Part of the first small wave of women who went through training to be an artillery crew member last year, she ended up being the honor graduate of her integrated class.

Nowadays, even the passion for baseball is not enough to distract Venezuelans from some many difficulties
Although soccer is the favorite sport of almost all Latin American countries, the great sporting love of Venezuela is baseball. However, for some years now and as a consequence of the political, economic and social crisis that exists in the Bolivarian nation, the sport of the ball and the bat has been affected. A month agothe curtainwent upof the present baseball campaign of the country, which has had to deal with multiple difficulties.
A blow to the economy
Several Venezuelan media have exposed how the crisis has affected Venezuelan citizens economically, so they prefer to bring food to their homes than to buy a ticket for a baseball game.
According to the newspaper El Impulso, "hyperinflationnational transportation crisis, viewers no longer know how to return home after the games are over.
The sponsorship
There is another issue that has also affected the low influx of people in the stands of different parks in the country, which are handled in minimum numbers. This is none other than the Venezuelan rejection to the sponsorship of the Venezuelan state oil company PDVSA to the Professional Baseball League (LVBP, by its acronym in Spanish). This guaranteed 12 million dollars to cover some expenses of the current campaign, even in the face of the well-known lack of basic resources of the Venezuelan population, such as food, medicines and public services.
The 12 million dollars are destined to cover "from the cost of the imported balls to the salaries of the seven

InGosport and Fareham Music Society to bow out with its last concert
THIS WEEK IN 1975: Reunited after 30 years – but only thanks to a kind stranger
RENOWNED concert pianist Iain Farrington will be playing the last concert for a music society which is closing down.
The concert will be the final one sponsored by the Gosport and Fareham Music Society, which has been hosting shows for more than four decades.
The programme, at the United Reformed Church in Bury Road, Gosport, on Sunday, from 3pm, will include music by Ravel, Debussy, Chopin, Bartok and Gershwin.
Society chairman Peter Usher said: ‘We want to attract a full house for Iain and we don’t want to go out with a whimper.
‘We have struggled to attract sufficiently large audiences to remain viable.

He also stated that through an advertisement published in "High Times Magazine", "a drug related periodical" he learned of United States News Service, Post Office Box 333, Bay Station, Brooklyn, New York. Hensley told Agent Sherrington that he responded to the advertisement in High Times, a drug related periodical, and received from United News Service a catalog of "available drug manufacture instructions". He then forwarded a postal money order in the amount of ten dollars ($10.00) to United News Service for the instructions for the manufacture of PCP. Thereafter Hensley received from United News Service the instructions for the manufacture of PCP. He was using these instructions at the time ofhis arrest. Together with the instructions United News Service supplied Hensley with the address of "Merrill Scientific" Merrill Scientific was described in the materials as a "reliable supply house" for the chemicals necessary for the manufacture of PCP. Hensley ordered the chemicals for his PCP laboratory from Merrill Scientific.

standout with the Toronto Raptors. Wade said Bosh's decision made it easy for him and James to choose their destinations.
"When Chris Bosh said he wanted to be down here in Miami, I think that opened up the floodgates for all of us to say, 'You know what? This is the time to do something in history that hasn't been done,' and that's all three players of this caliber come together in their prime to do something amazing." Wade said.
"We're going to be a really good team," James said.
James, who joined the Cavaliers straight out of high school and played forward for the team for his entire career, announced his decision during a much-ballyhooed ESPN special Thursday entitled "The Decision."
The reigning two-time NBA MVP said a conversation with hismother Thursday morning sealed the deal.
"I think I decided this morning," James said. "Then I talked with my mom. Once I had that conversation with her I think I was set."
James looked at several teams, including New York, Chicago and Cleveland. It came down to one thing.
"The major factor was the best opportunity to win now and to win in the future." James said. He led the Cavaliers to the NBA finals in 2007, where they lost to the San Antonio Spurs, but never reached the finals again, despite Cleveland management bringing in supporting stars such as Shaquille O'Neal and Antawn Jamison.
During "The Decision," ESPN switched briefly to sports bars in Miami and Cleveland to summarize the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.

Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell has hit back at former Labour MP Ian Austin's comment that voters should back Boris Johnson.
Mr McDonnell said: "He's now employed by the Tories. What else do you expect him to do in an election campaign?"
On Thursday morning, Mr Austin told BBC's Radio 4's Today programme that Jeremy Corbyn was "completely unfit" to be prime minister.
In July, Mr Austin was appointed as Boris Johnson's trade envoy to Israel - an unpaid role.

Ty Lawson led the Nuggets with a season-high 29 points and 10 assists, his backcourt partner Arron Afflalo scored 19, Denver forced 17 Phoenix turnovers, and Kenneth Faried ruled the paint with 18 points and 13 rebounds.
Shannon Brown led the Suns with 28 points including 6 converted 3-pointers, Marcin Gortat put up a double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds, and Steve Nash dished 13 assists, passing Oscar Robertson for fifth on the all-time assists list in the process.

* Numerous other Cadian regiments and shattered Space Marine Chapters
Things look pretty grim when a scout ship reports that the Black Fleet of Abaddon is inbound to finish of Cadia, with a Blackstone Fortress called the Will of Eternity at its heart. It has the power to destroy a planet with a single shot, but the Imperium had prepared a special defence for it. Unfortunately the first assault left it it ruins - Cadia is doomed. Sven Bloodhowl and the Firehowlers, along with a host of Battle Brothers from shattered Chapters and even alongside some Cadian regiments, gather on the Firemane's Fang to lead a desperate assault on the Will of Eternity to delay it beforeit reaches Cadia ("you're telling me we're some kind of Suicide Squad?") whilst the Mechanicum frantically try to repair the anti-planet killer shields. The battle-cry goes up amongst the Cadian Defenders - "Cadia Stands!"
Elsewhere! Belasirus Cawl has been having some shady conversations with a Harlequin Shadowseer. She tells him to check out some backwater planet, long since abandoned by the Imperium in after the 4th Black Crusade swept by it in M34. On it, Cawl discovers evidence of massive orbital bombardments. Apparently the 4th Black Crusade didn't randomly sweep by this planet - Abaddon had been trying to destroy something on it. Fighting of some random Orks looking for a fight, Cawl discover something amazing - this planet has Pylons on it, just like the Cadian Pylons and

to evacuate on Cawl's Arkship along with Greyfax and the Knights of House Taranis. The Cadian 8th, with Creed, are still holding the landing site. As they lift off, Greyfax swears she hears a voice bellow out over the winds - Cadia Stands!
The Imperial Fleet limps away from Cadia, Phalanx at the head and the Mechanicum ships holding the rear. Or the remains of Cadia anyway. It's being dragged into the warp... soon to become a Demon World? Time will tell. The Black Fleet harasses the evacuation fleet, but without much effort. Of the 850 million souls that stood on Cadia at the beginning of the attack, barely 2.5 million made it off the surface. Abaddon is content to let them survivors run and spread word of thedefeat... until one of his Sorcerors reveals a vision. There is an artefact onboard Cawl's arkship. What is it? I'll quote this next part directly, because it seems pretty huge. Speculation please!
"[the Sorcerer] spoke a name. One Abaddon had put from his thoughts long ago. It seemed impossible, but such words had as much currency now as they had when Horus first set foot on Davin."
Whatever the name was, it spurs Abaddon on to capture Cawl's ship. The Evacuation fleet has just about made it to the edge of the system to jump into the Warp, when the Vengeful Spirit catches up. The Phalanx and the other Imperial Ships are too far into their jump countdown to abort and escape into the Warp. The Mechanicus ships, holding the

at the senator's flagrant interference with the process by which workers at the Volkswagen plant were asked to vote up or down on the issue of their representation by the United Auto Workers (UAW).
The senator has just struck again — this time on the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), where in a Monday op-ed, Corker maintained that the UAW, which narrowly lost the election and has appealed the result with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), "want[s] critics like me silenced."
Now, we grant that Corker is taking everything personally, based perhaps on the notion that, as his press releases on the subject invariably conclude, "Much of the negotiation that led to Volkswagen choosing Chattanooga occurred around the dining room table of Corker's Chattanooga home."

the government's principal witness. His testimony substantially tracked the testimony he had given at the Mercier/Sullivan/Young trial; but he also covered additional ground that related to Senibaldi:
24
(1) When, during the search of Rossetti's home on the night of March 21-22, Krugerrands were found, Mercier "said that he collected them and Lenny collected them." And when binoculars were found, Mercier "said that Lenny could use them."
25
(2) On the afternoon of March 22, Rossetti returned from Massachusetts to his farmhouse in Kingston. There he found evidence of what appeared to be a break-in. Understanding that he was now, in effect, working for Mercier, and that in exchange he was entitled to Mercier's protection, Rossetti phoned Mercier to report the apparent break-in. About two hours later, Mercier, Senibaldi, and Mercier's brother Richard2 appeared at Rossetti's farmhouse. Senibaldi "stuck a two-shot derringer in my throat;" said that "if it was a trap and Billy [Mercier] got hurt, he'd blow my fucking brains out;" and directed Rossetti to take orders from "Billy."
26
(3) During the following two months Rossetti manufactured some methamphetamine and made "a few, probably five or six," payments to William Mercier. In subsequent months Rossetti arranged to see Senibaldi and William Mercier socially from time to time in order to stay on good terms with them. On one occasion Senibaldi told Rossetti that he "needed some product for some of his friends from East Boston...." On another occasion Senibaldi

personnel a reason to enter the tank before the accident.
Ramon also argues that there is sufficient circumstantial evidence to create a question of material fact as to whether, when the contractors left the area of the chill tank, they left the premises in an unsafe condition. Ramon points to the fact that the manhole had been opened by someone and covered only by a piece of plywood before he fell. He asserts the contractors were the last known to have occupied the area and to have used the manholes before Ramon had his accident. At least, in Grunau's words, when the evidence is considered in the light most favorable to Ramon, *1132 "[t]here is no direct indication in the Record that anyone else used the manholes after Glenroy'sand Ceco's use before the accident happened."
Our response is twofold. First, the record is replete with supposition about who might have been the last party to occupy the area in which Ramon fell. Indisputably, Ceco, Glenroy, and Huber worked in the area at one time, a good month before the accident. But, the record contains testimony from at least one of the witnesses that Grunau Mechanical had workers in the area; that the tank needed to be pumped periodically because of storm water; and, of course, that Grunau Fire Protection had access and reason to be in the area, as, after all, Ramon did. It is thus factually inaccurate to say the facts, when considered in the light most favorable to the non-movant show the movants to be

access or knock-out panels to the tank was completed on August 23, 1989 and that Ceco removed its forms for the panels on August 28, 1989. With the exception of the finish slab over the access panels, construction of the tank itself was completed at this time. Carpenter foreman for Ceco, Howard Fortune, and construction superintendent for Glenroy, George Meyer, personally conducted an inspection together "to see that everything was back in place when [they] left the area, particularly the manhole covers." Fortune and Meyer each aver that on August 29 or 30, 1989, every single manhole cover for the chill tank was fitted in place over its particular manhole and there were no open manholes. In fact, they saw the cover being placed on the hole inwhich Ramon fell. (R. 1200, 1219, 1234.)
According to HHN Vice President Mack Furlow, the activity of setting the manholes, installing the manhole covers and pouring the topping slab was completed by August 30, 1989. HHN notified Grunau on August 8, 1989, that the manhole covers had been set in place and Grunau became responsible for replacing them if its employees removed any of them. From August 31, 1989 through October 10, 1989, no HHN employee had reason to enter the tank and no work was performed by HHN in that area. After August 30, 1989, and through October 11, 1989, Glenroy had no job-related work activity in the area.

used in common. In the camera of this kind, therefore, as the motor alone was not sufficient, the expensive electromagnet structure had to be used for the purpose of actuating the movable mirror. Further, the load on the windup motor was increased. Hence there were problems that the cost was high and the speed of charging movement (including the winding up) was slow.
As a conventional example of the improved one, direct drive connection of the motor to the movable mirror was proposed (by Minolta Co. in its single-lens reflex camera named "Minolta 7000") with an advantage that the expensive electromagnet or actuator for the movable mirror could be removed. However, this proposal made use of an alternative mechanism in the form of a planetary clutch responsive to normalPromoting democracy in places like Egypt or Iraq is about changing the status quo.

"Are you done?" he chirped at Lester. "Are you quitting? Do we need to get somebody else out here?"
"He kept yelling at me and yelling at me -- and everyone in the park knew he was yelling at me," Lester said. "But that's what I needed. I pulled it together and went on to punch out the side for 15 strikeouts."
Cubs management had heard stories such as that when they signed Ross over the winter. They were rebuilding the organization with a blend of young talent and high character, knowing all too well the pressures likely to come with trying to win the World Series as a member of the Cubs. Lester, theteam's prized $155 million acquisition, pleaded with the Chicago brass to sign his friend and former Boston teammate.
"You cannot overstate the chemistry thing and what he does to help your team win," Lester said.
After a two-hour lunch with Ross during last year's MLB playoffs, Rizzo came away equally impressed. "He was exactly what we needed for our clubhouse," he said.
Just before Christmas, the Cubs offered Ross a two-year, $5 million contract with an assurance that they valued his off-the-field intangibles as much as his on-the-field talent. "That meant that when I was hitting a buck eighty, they weren't going to say, 'Let's get this guy outta here,'" Ross said. "And that meant a lot."

had a German shepherd dog which sat beside him on the floor in his inner office (Tr. at 376), and on at least one occasion he had a .22 caliber handgun on his desk (Tr. at 129). On another occasion a patient was standing in the hallway outside the office and was told by a guard to move. When he did not respond, 'fists (started) flying,' and the guard 'knocked him down the steps' and out of the office (Tr. at 130-32).

It is unnecessary to recount here the testimony of all the witnesses for the Government which established beyond any doubt the illegal activity of Dr. Moore, since it was substantially cumulative. Rather, the general pattern that emerges from the evidence is detailed and thena prescription for any number of dolophine pills for which he had sufficient cash on hand. Moore generally did not inquire about the daily dosages of his patients and did not give directions as to their proper use.

Bobby James King, a twenty-two year old student at Howard University (Tr. at 57), first went to Dr. Moore with a friend who had visited Moore before. The friend obtained the pills which they then shared, each paying half. He returned to Dr. Moore's on his own (Tr. at 60) because methadone 'was cheaper (than heroin) and (he) could get high' (Tr. at 88). He went to Moore not for detoxification but only to procure as much methadone as possible from the Doctor (Tr. at 90-91), since

psychosis not otherwise specified with exhibitionistic and pedophilic features.
However, he explained that the real diagnosis in this case is "bipolar condition or
schizophrenia." Dr. Korpi based his diagnosis on Rubalcava's 20-year history of auditory
hallucinations and delusional activity, which had resulted in 11 psychiatric
hospitalizations. Dr. Korpi testified that Rubalcava's psychosis caused him to lose
self-control and act on his exhibitionist and pedophilic interests. Over a period of
30 years, Rubalcava had been arrested eight times for sexual offenses. Four arrests
resulted in convictions. Dr. Korpi stated that Rubalcava's qualifying offense for purposes
of an SVP commitment was a 1991 conviction for committing a lewd and lascivious act
against a minor. (Pen. Code, § 288, subd. (a).) The victim in that case was his niece who
was 12 years old at the time of the offense. Inaddition to this offense, Rubalcava was
arrested for, or convicted of, indecent exposure in 1985, 1989, 1995, 2004, and 2006; and
for assault to commit a sex crime and false imprisonment in 2003.
According to Dr. Korpi, since 2006, Rubalcava had been taking his medication
except for a short period in 2012; during that time he has not acted out sexually.
Dr. Korpi was of the opinion that Rubalcava would not continue to stay on medication
voluntarily if released because prior to 2006 he had a long history of not taking his

medication. In November 2012, Rubalcava stopped taking his medication and began
hallucinating again. In February 2013, Rubalcava told Dr. Sidhu that he was taking his
medication only to " 'satisfy the court.' " Dr. Korpi opined that Rubalcava is "compliant
when you're watching, and he understands that everybody thinks he needs to take these
medications and he'll take these medications if that's what you all want. But he's not fully
comprehending of his psychosis, nor is he fully comprehending his need for medication.
So there's cracks in the armo[r] throughout even the recent history."
Dr. Korpi explained that Rubalcava continues to go "in and out of states of
confusion. So it's going to be hard for himto figure out that he's got a disorder that takes
vigilance to take care of and he's got to stay on his medications. He can't go off them.
He doesn't fully understand what's wrong with him. He doesn't fully appreciate the meds.
He's trying hard and he's done a great job and he's better, but he's still a little bit addled."
Dr. Korpi opined, "[i]f he's left to his own devices, he's going to drift off his meds and get
lost."
Dr. Korpi clarified that Rubalcava's psychosis has affected his emotional and
volitional capacity and has predisposed him to commit sexually violent predatory crimes.
Further, based on Rubalcava's scores on two actuarial instruments—the Static 99-R and
the Static 2002-R Dr. Korpi opined that Rubalcava presented a serious and

well-founded
risk of reoffending.
Psychologist Dr. Carolyn Murphy testified as a second expert for the People. She
diagnosed Rubalcava with schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type with a secondary
diagnosis of pedophilia. She believed that Rubalcava's schizoaffective disorder caused
him to be "disorganized," "impulsive" and engage in "hypersexual behavior."
Dr. Murphy testified that Rubalcava's qualifying offense for purposes of determining
whether he is an SVP was his 1991 offense. Dr. Murphy opined that Rubalcava's mental
disorder affected his emotional or volitional capacity in a way that predisposes him to
commit criminal sexual acts, that his capacity or ability to control his criminal sexual
to
control his violent and sexual behavior was seriously and dangerously impaired.
In Dr. Brook's opinion, Rubalcava's 1991 offense against his niece was predatory
because Rubalcava lived primarily on the streets and in board and care homes; although
Rubalcava stayed with his sister from time to time, there was no indication that he had an
ongoing substantial or meaningful relationship with his niece.
5
Dr Brook explained that there is no "cure" for paraphilia; and the fact that
Rubalcava had not "sexual[ly] act[ed] out" since 2006 did not affect his opinion regarding
Rubalcava's diagnosis. He attributed Rubalcava's lack of offending since 2006 to the
"controlled environment and that his medication regimen is under the control of others."

militants fulfilled a Russian-Turkish deal which tried last year to create a demilitarized buffer zone.
Turkey-backed opposition officials, who agreed to the ceasefire during talks in Kazakhstan, said it must "guarantee the safety of civilians". They reserved the right to respond to "violations by Assad's regime and its militias".
Though Turkey-backed rebel factions operate in Idlib province in the northwest, the dominant force there is the jihadist Tahrir al-Sham alliance, formerly the Nusra Front.
It did not reject the ceasefire in a statement on Friday but said any attack from the other side would cancel it, vowing to retaliate. It said the truce proved the failure of "the criminal regime's military operation against the liberated north."
Russia's RIA news agency cited a Kazakh Foreign Ministry official as saying the agreement does notinclude jihadists who might not observe it.
"There are no air strikes but the planes have not stopped flying above ... There are no attempts to advance on either side," Colonel Mustafa Bakour, a commander in the Jaish al-Izza rebel faction, said.
Syrian state news agency SANA said militants fired missiles that hit a village in government territory, killing one person and injuring three other civilians on Friday.
HEAVY TOLL
Under its deals with Moscow, Ankara has forces stationed on the ground in the Idlib region at a dozen military positions.
"In every talk we hold with Russia, we tell them the (Syrian) regime needs to stop its attacks ... but the situation is apparent," Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesman Hami Aksoy said.

and Russian-Turkish attempts have not managed to resolve the eight-year conflict.
"We hope to see the (ceasefire) reflected on the ground, as far too many civilians have been killed," said Jenifer Fenton, spokeswoman for the U.N. Special Envoy for Syria.
In the latest offensive, Assad's side has been unable to gain much ground from the insurgents. The government says it has been responding to militant attacks.
The fighting has also inflicted a heavy toll on both rebel and government fighters: the UK-based Observatory war monitoring group says each side has lost around 1,000 fighters.
The United Nations will investigate attacks on U.N.-supported facilities and other humanitarian sites, Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Thursday, after two-thirds of the Security Council pushed for an inquiry.

John Hancock, supra, at 301 (United States redeeming mortgage foreclosure pursuant to statute of limitations in 28 U. S. C. § 2410(c)). Moreover, in each case, the Government was proceeding in its sovereign capacity. As the Government rightly notes:
"When the United States becomes entitled to a claim, acting in its governmental capacity, and asserts its claim in that right, it cannot be deemed to have abdicated its governmental authority so as to become subject to a state statute putting a time limit upon enforcement." Summerlin, supra, at 417.
In contrast, the Government here became entitled to its claim by indemnifying a private contractor's state-law debt. It can assert its claim only by way of subrogation, an equitable *758 action created by the courts. Summerlin is clearly distinguishable.
Whether in generalfirst notice of deficiency was issued, 8 years after the second notice was issued, and almost 6 years after the state statute of limitations ran to bring this suit.
The Government argues that affirming the Court of Appeals often will leave it "without an effective remedy to contest a tax improperly exacted from a federal contractor" and subject it to the "vagaries" of 50 state tax-law procedures. Brief for United States 26-27. But federal contractors already are subject to the substantive tax laws of the 50 States. Nothing in our decision prevents the Government from including in its contracts a requirement that its contractors be responsible for all taxes the Government believes are wrongfully assessed, a contract term that likely would remove any disinterest a contractor may have toward

riding
around in a car with Sanders (whom Peoples characterized as his "home boy" and with whom he
often spent the night) and smoking marihuana. The two encountered a white girl (whose name
Peoples indicated that he did not remember) at a party and the three of them decided to restock their
marihuana. The girl indicated that she knew a place where marihuana could be bought, so they got
into Sanders's car, the girl directing them to Hagler's duplex. Peoples said that he had money in his
pocket and expected to purchase the drugs. After Sanders drove the car behind the duplex, they
exited the car and the girl led, followed in line by Sanders and Peoples to the rear door of the duplex.
As they stepped up to the openrear door, the girl entered the door and Sanders pulled out a pistol,
stepped through the back door, and grabbed one of the occupants of the duplex, who was standing
near the door. Peoples (who steadfastly maintained that he "never made it to the door sill" and never
entered the duplex) looked through the doorway and saw an occupant of the duplex, who was sitting
on a couch, reach under the couch upon which he was sitting and withdraw a pistol. When shots
rang out immediately after that, Peoples instantly ran off through the woods behind the duplex,
hurrying back to the Hidden Hills apartments, where Sanders lived. There, he discovered Sanders's
dead body in the parking lot beside the white car in which they had earlier been riding together.

Kass California to conduct an audit of Horizon's 2000 year-end financial condition. It is undisputed that all of the accounting services rendered by Kass in connection with these various audits were performed by Kass employees in California.

In addition to these agreements between Kass and Horizon for the rendition of independent accounting services, however, Horizon alleged in its complaint that Kass represented that it would perform a more substantial role in serving the investment fund. The complaint noted that Paul A. Henley, CEO of Horizon Capital, Inc. and the progenitor of the Horizon partnership, expressed his view "[a]t the outset" that Horizon did not have the "back office services and systems necessary" to monitor Yu & Company's performance and compliance with its Six Key system. R1-2 at 20, ¶that the assertion of jurisdiction was proper because Kass was doing business in Florida as defined by FLA. STAT. ch. 48.193(1)(a). It is undisputed that neither Kass California nor Wolf maintained a Florida office or were licensed to conduct business in Florida. Horizon admitted that Kass performed all its work for Horizon out of its California offices. While Kass made telephonic and electronic communications from its California offices into Florida, these communications cannot constitute "conducting business" in Florida. See Sculptchair, Inc., 94 F.3d at 628 (finding that making telephone calls from Canada into Florida did not amount to "conducting business" in Florida). Moreover, the fact that Kass rendered in California professional services for the benefit of a Florida citizen was insufficient by itself to trigger the provisions of

AKB48's newest single "Gingham Check", featuring its 16 senbatsu members, sold over 1.18 million copies in its first week and took the #1 spot on the Oricon weekly chart for September 10th. This is AKB48's eighth consecutive million-selling single since "Sakura no Ki ni Narou" (released in February 2011) and their ninth million-selling single in total. It is also the first single with Oshima Yuko featured in the center position to sell more than one million copies.
"Gingham Check" is the first single released after Maeda Atsuko graduated from AKB48 on August 27th. With Oshima returning as center for the second time in two years, the record sales is an excellent new start for AKB48.
With "Gingham Check", AKB48 has beaten their own record of seven consecutive million-seller singles inthe first week of sales. Continuing their streak of five million-selling singles last year, AKB48 released three more in 2012, "GIVE ME FIVE!", "Manatsu no Sounds good!" and now, "Gingham Check". The group makes history by being the first with more than three million-selling singles released over a span of two years.
AKB48 now has fourteen #1 singles since "RIVER", released in 2009. They have also renewed their record of most number of consecutive chart toppers and most number of total chart toppers from a female group. It's been 16 years and 3 months since B'z's eight consecutive million-selling singles, and AKB48 is tied with Mr. Children for second place for the most number of consecutive million-selling singles. B'z is in first place with thirteen singles selling more than

that Sloan "would probably have difficulty relating to authority figures and co-workers as [she] easily feels threatened and/or pressured and could quickly [become] overwhelmed and rapidly decompensate." Kraai's analysis was co-signed by a psychiatrist, Kent Kunze, M.D., who wrote next to his signature, "reviewed but not evaluated by me."
Patti Campidilli, a licensed clinical social worker, had counseled Sloan earlier, from November 1995 to February 1998, and from July 1999 until October 2001. In May 2003, Sloan decided to return to her after being dissatisfied with the counseling she received from Kraai (and finding Campidilli would charge her a lower fee as a former patient). They met monthly from June to December 2003. Campidilli noted at the outset in June 2003 that Sloan "had a difficult time making decisions,she should "because she is completely responsible for those expenses.
She concluded, "I believe Donna will never be able to work full time again. At the present time the limitations of her depression combined with her physical condition would make it quite difficult for her to work at any job for any consistent amount of time."[4]
On January 28, 2002, Sloan completed a Daily Activities Questionnaire, in which she reported she regularly did laundry, cleaned dishes, changed sheets, vacuumed, took out the trash, and washed her car; she occasionally cooked; that she enjoyed reading, listening to the radio, "doing some family history work on [her] computer," and watching movies and television shows; and she lived with her 82-year-old mother, whom she took grocery shopping once weekly.
