armed nationalist struggles. The ensuing debates over the futures of postcolonial societies included arguments over how to transform export-based economies into ones that prioritized the needs of the local population. In several of these countries, the debates revolved around different interpretations of socialism. In many ways these debates were distorted, given the wide influence of the Soviet Union, a country that at one point had been socialist but by this period had been for many years a one-party authoritarian regime. The Soviet model of socialism was based on an extremely narrow, limited definition of "state ownership." But who owned the state was an equally important question. There were other questions generated by those movements, including: how to win state power, political economy, and how all of this wouldcontribute to economic development and self-determination after centuries of colonial ruin. Nonwhite, formerly colonized people around the world hailed socialism (defined in many ways) almost universally as the means for achieving their freedom and reconstructing state power in their own names.
By the end of the 1960s, many Black revolutionaries took for granted that African Americans were a colonized population within the United States. In the book Black Power, Carmichael and Hamilton said as much: "Black people in this country form a 'colony,' and it is not in the interest of the colonial power to liberate them. Black people are legal citizens of the United States with, for the most part, the same legal rights as other citizens. Yet they stand as colonial subjects in relation to white society."[1]

The motion is denied for the reasons stated below.
II. FACTS
The United States Olympic Committee ("Olympic Committee") is a not-for-profit *661 corporation that was chartered pursuant to the Amateur Sports Act of 1978. See 36 U.S.C.A. § 220522 (1994). Defendant concedes that the Olympic Committee receives substantial sums of money from the federal government.
The Olympic Committee recognizes the United States of America National Karate Do Federation ("Karate Federation") as the national governing body for the sport of karate. While the Karate Federation does not receive any direct federal funding, the Olympic Committee did provide over forty million dollars to all national governing sports bodies, including the Karate Federation, in 1999. Without specifying an exact amount, Plaintiff alleges that the Karate Federation received direct and indirect funding from the OlympicCommittee, and thus from the United States government.
Plaintiff is a member of the Karate Federation. She was selected as a member of the 1998 Women's Kumite (Karate sparring) Team after training in one of the Federation's camps. In 1998, she traveled to Brazil, expecting to compete for a position on the United States Women's Kumite Team in the World Championships.
Prior to the competition, the Karate Federation withdrew the Women's Kumite Team. The Men's Kumite Team participated in the World Championship. Plaintiff filed a grievance with the Karate Federation.
According to the plaintiff, Terrance Hill, the Women's Kumite Team coach, told her that the team was withdrawn because two members refused to participate and the Federation could not field a team without the requisite number of members. Plaintiff, however, alleges

Claimant's deadline for filing the training waiver request. Because Claimant's first contact with the DWD did not occur until October 2009, "well after the 16 *672 week deadline of March 21, 2009 and the 8 week deadline of June 19, 2009," the ALJ concluded that the DWD correctly determined that Claimant's request for a waiver was untimely.
Claimant appealed to the Commission, which adopted and affirmed the decision of the Appeals Tribunal. Claimant appeals.
Standard of Review
On an appeal from a decision of the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission, we may modify, reverse, remand for rehearing, or set aside the decision of the Commission on the following grounds only: (1) the Commission acted without or in excess of its powers; (2) the decision was procured by fraud; (3) the factsargument in this case, the Division notified this court, by a letter dated October 20, 2011, that the United States Department of Labor issued, on October 19, 2011, TEGL 8-11, specifically addressing equitable tolling in the context of the identical issue before the court. The Division provided a copy of TEGL 8-11 as well as a copy of Attachment 1, titled: "Availability of Equitable Tolling of Deadlines for Workers Certified under Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Certifications."[8]
In TEGL 8-11, the United States Department of Labor interprets the Trade Act to permit agencies to apply equitable tolling to various deadlines contained in the Act, including the deadline for obtaining a training waiver as a condition for eligibility for TRA.

taking of the property condemned. Although there is some inconsistency with respect to these claims, we shall consider each separately and determine whether on any theory defendant has such an interest in the Sharp Park property as would entitle it to severance or consequential damages to the property south of the park.
The property in question was owned by Honora Sharp when in 1904, defendant's predecessor entered upon the land and constructed the railroad. No conveyance of any kind was ever received by defendant or its predecessors from Honora Sharp or her successors. In 1916, the ranch was conveyed to the city and county of San Francisco for use as a public park. Operation of the railroad was discontinued in 1920 with the permission of the Railroad Commission,conveyances purported to transfer all "right, title and interest" of the Ocean Shore Railway Company in the "real property, rights of way and terminals within the City and County of San Francisco and the counties of San Mateo and Santa Cruz, in the State of California, and all of the railroads and railroad lines at any time owned by the Ocean Shore Railway Company ... also all the franchises, rights of way, leases, licenses, consents, easements, *417 rights, privileges and immunities relating to or appertaining to said railroads or railroad lines ... it being the intention ... to grant, transfer and convey ... all the property and franchises now belonging to [the grantors] ... and which are now held, owned and possessed by" them.

Conclusions 7 to 9 set out the reasons why on the evidence of record those competitors also did not provide "acceptable" alternatives.

Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines president Archbishop Socrates Villegas. NPPA Images/File
A leader of the Catholic Church said it would be shameful for the country to restore the death penalty while the Philippines prepares to mark 500 years of Catholicism.
Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas said the Church is in the midst of preparations for the 500th anniversary of the first mass in the country held on March 31, 1521.
Villegas, who is also president of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) hopes that Catholics will oppose the restoration of capital punishment because it is contrary to their faith.
He, however, rejected suggestions that Church leaders are lobbying Congress against the restoration of the death penatly.
"Church leaders are not Congress lobbyists, that is not our duty," Villegas said in aforum.
"Our duty is to disturb consciences. At the end of the day I hope the Speaker (of the House) will allow a conscience vote on the death penalty," he added. The restoration of capital punishment is a priority of House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez.
Villegas also called on Catholics to join the "Walk for Life" event organized by Church lay leaders which will be held on February 18. The march is meant to speak out against extra-judicial killings and the restoration of the death penalty.
NO FIGHT WITH DUTERTE ADMINISTRATION
Villegas also sought to downplay suggestions that Church leaders are leading a confrontation with the Duterte administration. He said that the Church is always open to "critical collaboration" with the government.
He said that while they may be critical of some of the

denied having anything to do with the murder, and again claimed that it was the KGB (EIR 1992:630 ff).
The book got a lot of attention in the US, as it was published at the time of the national campaign "War on Drugs" that involved many parts of the US government.
The book is an example that LaRouche also six years after the murder was used to spread disinformation about the Palme assassination.
The Anti-Drug Coalition
Antidrogkoalitionen (ADK) was the Swedish chapter of the Anti-Drug Coalition, which was part of the American LaRouche organization, established in 1979 (SOU 2002:91:276).
In Sweden, ADK assigned Palme the role of
"Swedish Board member of the multinational Dope Inc., a secretive crime syndicate that [according to ADK] control the world drug trade and also supports mild drug legislation"(Hermansson and Wenander 1987:119).
Foreign Operations
EAP conducted its actions against Palme far beyond Sweden's borders.
At 18 June, 1975, the EAP's official German journal Neue Solidaritet published an article about Palme entitled "Palme: Des Teufels Beelzebub" (Palme: The Devil’s Beelzebub) with a caricature of him (Lorscheid and Müller 1986:108-109).
Palme was often persecuted by the EAP during his travels abroad, with picketing and other actions in connection with his meetings, in front of his hotels, and on one occasion outside the residence of the Swedish UN Ambassador Anders Ferm in New York when Palme stayed there (GK 1999:514). This shows that there was a close collaboration between the different EAP organizations in several countries. Substantial resources must have been spent on the Swedish participants for airline tickets, equipment, housing etc. This

I've lived where politicians blame the surrounding countries (United States and Latin American) for the trouble that the island suffers. The United States is blamed for sending the jobs overseas and Latin American for bringing in the illegal drugs. The island has been considered abandon. Yet, the politicians promoted the city as heading for a comeback. However the issues remain plaguing the city from its past.
The city has unemployment, areas destroy by the rebellion of 1967, and the problems go on. The city officials talk, argue, and threaten each other. After watching the third video in my research Deforce, I realize all the bickering deteriorate the city's future. The documentary details

J. Cole Kicks Off KOD Tour in Miami With Young Thug and Jaden Smith
Three months after announcing his KOD Tour, J. Cole kicked off the first night of the trek in Miami. Taking the stage at the American Airlines Arena on Thursday (Aug. 9), Cole was joined by openersYoung Thug, Jaden Smith and Earthgang, as he brought his catalog of hits to Florida.
The night started with sets from Thugger and Earthgang and even a surprise appearance from Will Smith, who joined Jaden to perform the "Icon (Remix)." But the night's main event was J. Cole, who performed tracks from his new KOD album, as well as songs from 2014 Forest Hills Drive and more.
One of Cole's best performances on the first stop of the tour was a renditionof "Neighbors," which Cole rapped while footage of White people who have called the cops on Black people for trivial issues played in the background.
The North Carolina MC even introduced his Kill Edward alter-ego to the Miami crowd, performing as the rapper during the show. Cole took the stage under dim light and smoke, as he tried to fool the crowd into believing Kill Edward was on stage.
Up next for Cole, the artist will bring the KOD Tour to Tampa, Fla. on Aug. 11. Cole, Smith, Thugger and Earthgang will then make stops in Atlanta, New Orleans, Columbus, Ohio, Philadelphia, Detroit and more before wrapping up on Oct. 10 in Boston.

anymore. He used to come back for two months to Oxford, where he built a house. But we kid him now. We tell him, 'You're a New York guy.'"
Eli Manning's last playoff win came against the Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI in 2012. Ed Mulholland/USA TODAY Sports
Manning secured his no-trade clause for a reason. He was dying to spend his entire career with the team that suited up his paternal grandfather's favorite player, another Ole Miss guy named Charlie Conerly. "From the get-go," Archie said, "Eli has been in love with the New York Giants."
The youngest of three boys raised in New Orleans (Cooper is the oldest), Eli was always a bit different, his old man said. He was the only son who would go antique shopping withhis mother Olivia. He's the only Manning son who enjoys studying wine.
Early on, after Giants general manager Ernie Accorsi made the 2004 draft-day deal with San Diego to acquire Manning, the No. 1 overall pick, it didn't appear that Eli's aw-shucks act would last long on Broadway. In his first three seasons under former Giants coach Tom Coughlin, Manning almost seemed too oblivious to the noise around him. "I'm not sure he knew one writer from another," his father said. Archie, a former New Orleans Saints quarterback, appreciated his son's carefree demeanor and generally saw it as an asset in such a high-pressure market. But at times even he grew frustrated with Eli's room-temperature approach.
"One day I called him and left him a message," Archie recalled, "and I

said, 'Eli, Tiki (Barber) just blew up Coach Coughlin. You need to know that. Someone's going to ask you about it.'"
In the second half of the 2007 season, Archie was struck by an ominous thought. "I don't know who they're going to run out of town first up there," he asked himself, "Eli or Coach Coughlin?" Two months later, Eli and Coach Coughlin beat Tom Brady and Bill Belichick in what Giants owner John Mara called the greatest victory in franchise history. Four years later, Manning and Coughlin did it again to Brady and Belichick, who are 5-0 against all other Super Bowl opponents. Mara said after that second title that Manning is likely the Giants' best offensive player of all time.
The postseason drought ever since has beenpainful. Coughlin was forced out, and the Giants' long-awaited return to the playoffs last season was a one-and-done dud defined by Odell Beckham Jr.'s meltdown and -- after his infamous Miami boating trip with some teammates -- the popular postgame take that he'd left his talents in South Beach. Manning has weathered it all. Now he looks up and down the Giants' roster and sees a potentially great defense, a frighteningly good secondary, and a pair of new receivers in Brandon Marshall and tight end Evan Engram, the first-round pick out of (where else?) Ole Miss, who could make Beckham's life easier and give Eli his best shot yet to win ring No. 3.
"That's the goal," he told ESPN.com. "I feel we're putting together a special group of

Marmaron Company Limited ("Marmaron"), which is owned by Maria Tsakos, in exchange for new capital up to $10 million. Maria Tsakos is the daughter of Captain Panagiotis *36 Tsakos and the sister of Nikolas P. Tsakos, together the largest existing shareholders. Global Ocean would retain ownership of the other Debtors.
At the request of the Debtors and the Ad Hoc Committee of Noteholders, the plan process was scheduled on a relatively fast track, to assure that the restructuring was concluded by June 30, 2000. The Disclosure Statement was approved, over objections by Arabella, on March 24, 2000, after certain amendments were made to it and the Plan. Voting packages were required to be mailed by March 31, 2000, ballots were due on April 28, 2000, and the confirmation hearingwas originally scheduled for May 8, 2000.
After voting on the Plan, however, the only impaired class (the Noteholders) rejected the Plan under the numerosity test. That is, although owners of over $98 million in amount of the outstanding Notes voted to accept the Plan (almost $6 million voted to reject), 321 of the 497 Noteholders voting on the Plan rejected it. Thus, the Plan has been rejected by the vast majority of the small Noteholders, but accepted by the large institutional Noteholders which own the largest amount of Notes.
Opposition to the Plan has been spearheaded by Arabella, an investment company owned by Mr. and Mrs. Katsamas. Mr. Katsamas has been in the shipping industry for twenty years. In December of 1999, Arabella purchased a small number of shares

Further, the Debtors presented evidence that some of their vessels have visited ports in the United States on a regular basis. (Exhibit D-9.) However, the Debtors' Exhibit shows that only four of the Debtors' twelve vessels visited the United States for a total of 143 days in the fifteen months prior to the petition date. One of the vessels was in the United States only once (in November, 1999). We do not find this evidence persuasive. Having some business in the United States (and even being physically present in the United States for 30% of the year) is insufficient to constitute having a place of business in the United States.
Further, none of the Debtors' vessels were in the United States on the day the petitionsbank accounts. See, e.g., In re McTague, 198 B.R. 428, 429 (Bankr.W.D.N.Y.1996)($194 in bank account was sufficient property for bankruptcy eligibility). One account was at The Bank of New York in New York City (an account in use since 1989) and another was at Chase Manhattan Bank in Delaware (opened shortly before the bankruptcy filing). Both these bank accounts are in the name of Global Ocean. The Debtors' deputy financial officer, Mr. Panagopoulis, testified that the funds in the bank accounts represent the revenues from the operations of all the vessels. Those revenues belong to the vessel owning subsidiaries and, through their ownership of the subsidiaries, the various other Debtors. Mr. Panagopoulis also testified that the funds of the various Debtors have always been commingled and deposited into

who in the world thought it was a good idea for Melania to wear this coat in the 9/11 photo. It legit looks like an object is flying into a tower or the Washington Monument," tweeted Ashley Spivey.
Some of the critics couched their observations in the form of a question.
"Is...is that a plane crashing into one of the twin towers in the back of Melania’s coat?!?," Abe Caldwell tweeted.
"Not to sound like a complete conspiracy nut...But does anyone else see a plane flying through a tower on Melania's coat?" Kittie Hill tweeted.
Twitter users had fun posting enlarged versions of the photo, some of them doctored in obscene ways suggesting that Trump was trolling her husband. (Even though he was the one who posted the tweet.)

Officers moved in on the encampment of Occupy ICE PDX demonstrators at about 5:30 a.m. PT, the US attorney's office in Oregon said. Officials hope to reopen the facility early next week for the first time since June 20, Federal Protective Service spokesman Robert Sperling said.
An unspecified number of protesters were taken into custody as federal law enforcement personnel cleared a path that includes the facility's driveway and front door, Sperling said.

women's testimony counts half that of men, and far more women than men are stoned to death for adultery.
Here is the supporting article for the ninth point. It has a long list of different translations of Sura 4:34, in order to resolve confusion over this verse, circulating around the web. This longer article has many links that demonstrate the oppression of women under Islamic law (scroll down to 'Further discussion').
In 2003, in Saudi Arabia a man had two teeth extracted under the law of retaliation.
In 2003, a court in Pakistan sentenced a man to be blinded by acid after he carried out a similar attack on his fianc�e.
In 2005, an Iranian court orders a man's eye to be removed for throwing acid on another man and blinding himInternational reports that even though Saudi Arabia ratified the Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (Convention against Torture) in October 1997, amputation is prescribed under both Hudud (punishments) and Qisas (law of retaliation). AI has recorded thirty—three amputations and nine cross—amputations where the alternate hand or foot is mutilated.
The Quran says: 5:33 Those who wage war against God and His Messenger and strive to spread corruption in the land should be punished by death, crucifixion, the amputation of an alternate hand and foot or banishment from the land: a disgrace for them in this world, and then a terrible punishment in the Hereafter, 34 unless they repent before you overpower them: in that case bear in mind that God is forgiving and

turned out to be the victim, but testified that she had never seen him before. The victim was being pursued by a man with a large gun whom she knew as "Big Hand Pete." Murphy made an in-court identification of the defendant as being the man she saw chasing the victim. She had known the defendant for nine to ten years and testified that he used to go out with her younger sister. As the men approached her, she asked what was going on and testified that the defendant had replied: "I'll kill the [M_____ F_____]." At that time, the defendant fired a shot which Murphy thought had struck the victim because he slowed down. The two men continued the chase, with the victim going around a *578corner of the building. Murphy then heard a second shot fired, but did not see it because she had moved behind a dumpster, a big trash can. A few seconds later, the defendant walked back by her and, upon her inquiry as to what had happened, repeated his previous statement: "I'll kill the [M_____ F______]." He then walked away.
By way of illustrating Murphy's testimony, the state introduced a sketch, while she was testifying, containing a layout of a few of the buildings in Father Panik Village which were relevant to the crime scene. It also depicted the positions of Murphy, Dupree and Randolph as the shooting occurred. This sketch was made by Detective Thomas Giblin of the Bridgeport police department later that night at police headquarters during an

interview with Murphy. It was based, in part, upon his knowledge of Father Panik Village and, in part, upon information supplied to him by Murphy. When the sketch was offered, Murphy was asked if "this [was] the sketch that was made to assist you to tell them [the police] what had happened and where it has happened?" She answered "Yes" and the sketch was admitted as a full exhibit. Murphy referred to the sketch as she described the shooting.[2]
After the shooting, Murphy returned to her apartment without investigating what actually happened to the victim. She testified that her boyfriend, Ben Jones, and her two children were present at that time in her apartment. Jones then went out to the grocery store and upon his return informed her thathe had seen a body outside and that the man was dead. She then went back outside with her sister and saw the body of the same person whom she had seen earlier being chased by the defendant.
*579 Murphy testified that she talked to the police on two occasions that night while in her apartment, although Giblin testified that he had only been there once. She did not tell the officer who came the first time very much because her boyfriend kept telling her to "shut up." The second time, however, although she was reluctant to speak at first, she eventually did tell Giblin what happened and then accompanied him to the police station. There she gave a signed statement, made a photographic identification of the defendant after

being shown seven photographs,[3] and assisted Giblin as he made the sketch that has been referred to earlier. Finally, Murphy testified that no promises had been made to her in reference to her testifying against Randolph and that no threats or promises had been made to her to induce her to sign her written statement to the police.
During his cross-examination of Murphy, the defendant's counsel sought to impeach her credibility by eliciting testimony regarding the fact that she had been arrested and had a case pending against her at that time in the same judicial district.[4] She testified that she *580 did have a case pending and that it was in connection with her arrest at her apartment. She also testified that the police had found, and seized,her case with the state's attorney. She answered affirmatively to both questions.
After Murphy had finished testifying, the state called Giblin to the stand. He testified, inter alia, as to his investigation on the night of the shooting and about his contact with Murphy on that night. During his testimony, the state's attorney referred him to the sketch of the scene that had previously been introduced without objection as an exhibit through Murphy. He identified the sketch as "the sketch I drew for [Murphy]," in order to help her "identify where she was and what she saw." When the state's attorney requested Giblin to come down from the witness stand to explain to the jury what the sketch intended to show, defense counsel objected. He claimed that any testimony

Tamil rebels holed up in ever-diminishing territory in northern Sri Lanka forcibly recruited children to take part in final defences against government troops, according to a former senior official. Some of the youngsters were sent to fight with just one day's basic training. A number of civilians who tried to escape to the government side were shot.
The official, who held a non-military position with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), said that in the spring of 2009, the rebels found themselves in an ever-worsening situation that led them to step up their forced recruitment of civilians between the age of 14 and 55. He said more than 300,000 civilians had intentionally been held to provide cover for the LTTE fighters.
"There was no age discrimination. One day's trainingand then [they would] get sent to the war front," said the former official, who said his own child had been forcibly recruited, but that he was able to escape towards government troops. Asked if he believed the rebels committed war crimes, the former official said: "There were many war crimes during that last time. The civilians knew [what was happening]. They could not move out of LTTE control. Some people who tried to leave were shot."
The testimony from the official, who asked that neither his identity nor the location of the interview be revealed, provides an important insight about the final stages of the war, which resulted in the crushing of the LTTE and the killing of most of its leaders. Earlier this year, a report by

producing of late, tallying two goals and four points in his last five games. The 32-year-old is stuck at 12 points on the season, but he's logging heavy minutes for the Blues and has coming close to the 30-point barrier a few times in his career. He blocks lots of shots and produces some offense, so if you're looking for a late-season pick up in a very deep league, he could be worth grabbing.
Blues' Michalek Pots Goal In Loss
Analysis: It's just Zbynek Michalek's third goal of the season (and first as a member of the Blues), ending a drought that dated back to Jan. 31. The 32-year-old has just 10 points on the year, restricting his fantasy value to deeper formats that reward speciality categories such as blockedstarting to close in on a return to the lineup, NHL.com's Lou Korac reports.
Analysis:Zbynek Michalek has yet to make his debut with the Blues due to the concussion that predated his acquisition, but he's made positive progress in his recovery over the last several days. He resumed skating late last week and was on the ice again for Wednesday's optional practice. It seems a bit unlikely that he'll be cleared to play in time for Thursday's game against the Flyers, but he may have a realistic shot at playing Saturday versus the Wild.

Coyotes' Michalek Out Indefinitely
News:Zbynek Michalek is considered out indefinitely with his latest lower-body injury, suffered Tuesday against the Canadiens.
Analysis:Zbynek Michalek has left the team to visit the team's medical staff back in Phoenix for further evaluation on his injury, which could be related to the lower-body ailment he suffered earlier this season. That injury ended up costing the defenseman nine games, depriving the Coyotes of one of their more physical players on the blue line. He's already racked up 72 blocks in just 24 games this season.
Coyotes' Michalek Leaves With Injury
News:Zbynek Michalek left Tuesday's game with a lower-body injury and will notbut he may need to get a few on-ice sessions in before he's tossed back into game action. He's been nursing the lower-body ailment since leaving a game last Thursday with the injury.

News:Zbynek Michalek (lower body) is out for Saturday's game against the Lightning, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports.
Analysis:Zbynek Michalek suffered the injury Thursday and will be out for at least one game. He was considered doubtful heading into Saturday's contest, so it won't be surprising if he misses more time.

Hayley Ka`iulani Cerit's ("Respondent") moved to dismiss the Petition based in part on grounds of abstention.[1] The matter came on for hearing on February 4, 2002. Appearing on behalf of Respondent were Dennis E.W. *1242 O'Connor and Jeffrey K. Hester. Appearing on behalf of Petitioner were Geoffrey Hamilton and Chunmay Chang. After careful consideration of the motion, supporting and opposing memoranda, and arguments of counsel, the Court finds abstention proper under both the Younger and Colorado River abstention doctrines. Accordingly, Respondent's Motion to Dismiss is hereby GRANTED.
BACKGROUND
Petitioner and Respondent were married on December 21, 1985. In 1990, son Sadik Emir Cerit ("Sadik") was born in Honolulu, and in 1999, daughter Aloha Cerit ("Aloha") was born in Turkey. The family lives in Istanbul, Turkey for most of the year,but vacations annually in Honolulu, Hawaii where they also own a home. On June 14, 2001, Petitioner, Respondent, and their two children arrived in Honolulu from Turkey for their annual two-and-a-half month stay. Shortly after their arrival, Petitioner returned to Turkey on business, but planned on rejoining his family in Honolulu prior to the end of their stay.
On August 21, 2001, Respondent filed an Ex Parte Petition For a Temporary Restraining Order for Protection and Statement ("TRO Petition") against Petitioner in the Family Court of the First Circuit, State of Hawaii ("Family Court"). In the TRO Petition, Respondent alleged spousal abuse and sought protection and custody of Sadik and Aloha. The Family Court granted the TRO Petition the same day and set it for hearing on October 3,

The retirement of the U.S. shuttle fleet has left Russia's Soyuz spacecraft as the only means to deliver crews to the space outpost.
The Soyuz capsule's voyage from the space station started 3 1/2 hours earlier, when it undocked and began a slow, gentle drift away. About 60 miles (100 kilometers) above the earth, the Soyuz began atmospheric re-entry, turning its heat-resistant shield forward to protect the space travelers from the intense heat generated by friction with the air.
The crew thenbegan sensing gravity for the first time in almost half a year.
A little under 15 minutes ahead of touchdown, with the Soyuz traveling at around 220 meters (722 feet) per second, a series of parachutes deployed.
As the Soyuz made its gradual descent, one unidentified ground control staff member remarked that "Anatoly (Ivanishin) must be real hungry right now" and that he would be looking forward to "soup and some meat."
In the final minutes before touchdown, the braking parachutes were jettisoned to make way for the billowing ringed parachute that slows the module to around 7 meters (23 feet) per second.
Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko has now taken over as commander of the space station and will stay until July together with NASA astronaut Don Pettit and Holland's Andre Kuipers.

it was because silver medal-winners compare themselves to the athletes who won gold and feel they came up short. By contrast, bronze medal-winners seem to unconsciously compare themselves to people who didn't win a medal at all.
"Silver medalists may torment themselves with counterfactual thoughts, of 'If only...' or 'Why didn't I just,' " the researchers wrote. "Bronze medalists, in contrast, may be soothed by the thought that, 'At least I won a medal.' "
The researchers controlled for various alternate explanations: In some sports, such as soccer, the winners of the gold and silver medals are decided in the final match, and there is a separate match that decides the bronze medal winner.
They wondered: Was it possible the effect arose because the silver medal winners had just lost, whereasinvolved in the Olympics. Athletes choke, teams play mind games with one another, but the psychology does not end with the competition. It turns out to extend to the medal ceremony. NPR's science correspondent Shankar Vedantam joins us regularly to talk about interesting social science research. He's here. Hi Shankar.
SHANKAR VEDANTAM, BYLINE: Hi Steve. So here's what I have. I want you to listen to two pieces of tape. You're going to hear from two athletes. They've just finished competing at the London Olympics. One of them won the silver medal, and one of them won the bronze medal.
INSKEEP: OK.
VEDANTAM: And I want you to tell, from the emotion in their voices, which one got the silver and which one got the bronze.
INSKEEP: All right.

Fisher has played 17 seasons in the NHL, 11 with the Ottawa Senators before he was traded to the Predators on Feb. 10, 2011. He just finished his first season as captain of the Predators and has played 1,088 regular-season NHL games.
The Predators lost the Stanley Cup Final to the Pittsburgh Penguins in six games, the second time Fisher has lost in the final round (2007 with Ottawa against the Anaheim Ducks). He said not having won a Stanley Cup will not be a factor in his decision.
"Everyone wants to win in thisgame, no one probably more than me," Fisher said. "But there's other things. At the end of the day, this is a game. It's an important part of my life, but it's not everything and there's other decisions and other people that are involved, so we'll take those into account. For me, it's faith, family and then hockey. So we'll see where that fits in because, like I said, I love being part of this group. I had a blast."
Fisher has had a major impact on the development of some of Nashville's younger players while still being productive. He finished the regular season with 42 points (18 goals, 24 assists) and set the tone for the rest of the team with his work ethic.

"Sam left to go back to Austin to get his doctorate in chemical engineering, and Jim took a job playing with David Allan Coe."
Jimmy Lamb died in Alamosa, in 1989. He was only 40 years old.
Ueckert re-formed OMI Express with Arnold, recording and releasing a cassette, Still the Boss.
"It was our tribute to Jimmy," Ueckert said.
A 1994 story in the Pueblo Chieftain

finance and motivation, a letter to the editor was sent to the Latin American Review of Sociology and the whole affair was exposed in the media. The US Defense Department came under mounting criticism, with critics claiming that the project was a violation of professional ethics in the scientific world.[27] (Ironically, Nutini had not been a central member of Project Camelot, nor had Chile had been listed as one of its first targets.[57]) The Chilean Senate condemned Project Camelot as a form of imperialist intervention and vowed to investigate.[33][58]
The U.S. invasion of the Dominican Republic in April 1965 sharply exacerbated concerns about military research by demonstrating the adoption of a more hardline doctrine towards Latin America.[59] One Chilean newspaper suggested that the United States research prepared the wayfor a possible "anti-democratic coup" in Chile.[58] The Soviet news agency Tass opined that Project Camelot provided "a vivid illustration of the growing efforts of the Pentagon to take into its own hands the conduct of U.S. foreign policy."[60]
Embassy recently became aware through university community of serious anxiety middle-of-the-road scholars with this project and specifically with the manner in which university people here were approached by SORO personnel. I consider, particularly under current conditions, this effort to be seriously detrimental to U.S. interests in Chile and urgently request full explanation of Department Army actions in this regard. Was this project approved by the Department?

^Rohde, "The Social Scientists' War" (2007), pp. 202–203. "In the wake of the affair, the Army finally gave in to SORO's repeated requests for 'institutional funds'—an allotment for unprogrammed studies of the researchers' own choosing. This money was intended to allow researchers to explore 'long shot and high risk, high potential ideas.' While RAND had long applied ten percent of its budget to such studies, the Army reluctantly gave the okay for SORO to direct a maximum of five percent of its funds to unprogrammed work. With the support of the Army and the University—both of which sought to distance SORO from the Camelot incident—SORO finally got a new, less military name. In May 1966,the research office was rechristend the Center for Research on Social Systems (CRESS)."
^Rohde, Armed With Expertise (2013), pp. 88–89. "In September, Vallance welcomed a new member to his staff. Major John Johns, an official in the army's Social Science Research Division, was assigned as SORO's army liaison officer. Henceforth, a uniformed army man would be an almost daily presence at the research office."

196–197. "The Army could hardly have made it more clearly in the weeks following the project's cancellation that that the study of internal warfare, social change, and counterinsurgency would go on. The day after it was cancelled, Camelot had a new task statement, titled 'Measurement of Predisposing Factors for Communist Inspired Insurgency.' […] Sorons' new job was to break Camelot into a series of seemingly unconnected, small studies. In case the new task statement did not make it clear enough, the Director of Army Research informed SORO's staff that "all SORO research was to go on" after Camelot was cancelled."
^Rohde, "The Social Scientists' War" (2007), p. 177. "The project itself, however, went on. Despite the objections of the Bogota and Caracas embassies, the State Department insisted that theyagree to an embassy-only visit by one of the study’s researchers. State officials in Washington explained to its ambassadors that, although they opposed the conduct of field research for the project, the Department was 'reluctant to block reasonable requests' for fear of appearing 'negative' to social research."
^Herman, "Psychology as Politics" (1993), p. 301. "Still, very little about behavioral science funding or design changed after CAMELOT was canceled. A similar project was uncovered in Brazil less than two weeks later and others were launched in Colombia (Project Simpatico) and Peru (Operation Task), sponsored by SORO and funded by the DOD, exactly as CAMELOT had been."

The otherworld city is called Malesco. It's described in the story as rose-red rather than golden. I don't know if there is anything South American about it. The Malescan language is derived from Latin, so there's that.
The hero and first-person narrator, Eddie Burton, is a Broadway actor, not a private investigator. The girl, Lorna Maxwell, is a nightclub singer trying to break into Hollywood.
Eddie did not get the picture from Lorna. He inherited it from his Uncle Jim, who used to tell him bedtime stories about Malesco and even taught him the language:

these disorders require regular supplies of safe blood to replace their deficient blood.
The blood used for transfusion must come from healthy people with healthy blood. Blood is not only a living tissue but also a renewable one, with healthy people having the mechanism to make more blood. By donating blood, the gift of life can be given easily given without fear of regular blood donation weakening a person.
(Excerpt taken from 'Making a Difference: Recruiting voluntary, non-remunerated blood donors', produced by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.)Waterfront operator Patrick Stevedores has been secretly handed $18.5 million to compensate for disruptions caused by the expansion of the Port of Melbourne.
The Maritime Union of Australia is furious, claiming the secret deal underpins a taxpayer-funded push to casualise the port workforce.
In a report to the Australian stock exchange, Patrick's parent company, Asciano, last week confirmed it had received the payment because of the early termination of its lease at Webb Dock, an area of the port that is being redeveloped.
Patrick has already announced that as part of the redevelopment it will be offering redundancies to its 260-strong stevedoring workforce. The union says 80 jobs are likely to be lost with 73 per cent of the remaining workforce being employed as casuals.

Soumya SethNirmala Sitharaman said Rahul Gandhi has become "expert" in calling others thieves
Union minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday hit out at critics of the Reserve Bank's unprecedented decision to transfer a record Rs. 1.76 lakh crore from its surplus and reserves. Questioning the recommendation of the committee concerned was "outlandish", she said, since it was appointed by the central bank. The big takedown was directed at the Congress's Rahul Gandhi, who this morning had accused the government of stealing.
"When Rahul Gandhi says chor (thief) and chori (theft)... he had really tried with chor and the public gave him good answer. The Congress should have spoken to the Reserve Bank of India before commenting," she said.
The former Congress chief, she added, has become "expert" in calling others thieves.

repay the Bank for the sums advanced under the letters of credit plus interest and charges within a time period specified in the trust receipts. To induce the Bank to extend the aforementioned credit facilities, the Debtor executed and delivered to the Bank a continuing guarantee dated July 30, 1981 ("Guarantee"). Under the terms of the Guarantee, the Debtor guaranteed the payment of all obligations of Indian Fantasy to the Bank. Between 1981 and 1983 the Bank advanced over $1.5 million to Indian Fantasy pursuant to various letters of credit. Despite repeated oral and written demands by the Bank, Indian Fantasy failed to repay $724,310 of the advances made by the Bank. Demands upon the Debtor to pay Indian Fantasy's obligation to the Bank as required by theGuarantee were also unsuccessful. It is alleged in the complaint that Indian Fantasy and the Debtor as guarantor, is indebted to the Bank for at least $860,000.
b. The Bankruptcy Case And Related Proceedings
As this case has been pending since 1984, it is useful to catalogue the events responsible for its prolonged life in this court.
On June 15, 1984, the Bank filed involuntary petitions for relief under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code (the "Code") against the Debtor, the Debtor's wife Sunita Sapru, and Indian Fantasy (collectively the "Debtors"). *309 After answers were interposed by the Debtors this court ordered that trials of the issues raised by the pleadings be held. Subsequent to that order counsel for the Debtor, Moti Sapru and counsel for the Bank engaged in settlement

discussions as a result of which both sides agreed to adjourn the trial on a month to month basis. Orders for Relief were ultimately granted. The first meeting of creditors was scheduled for July 25, 1985. September 23, 1985 was set in each case as the last day to file objections to discharge or dischargeability of a debt.[1]
The first meeting of creditors scheduled for July 25, 1985 was adjourned to August 23, 1985 on the grounds the Debtor was not in the country and was adjourned again until September 20, 1985. At the § 341 meeting held that day, the Debtor swore to the veracity of the information contained in his petition, and the meeting was then adjourned to October 17, 1985 on the grounds the Debtor hadyet to file schedules of his assets and liabilities ("Schedules") and statement of affairs for a debtor not engaged in business ("Statement of Affairs") pursuant to § 521 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Bank timely moved, and the Court granted its motion, to extend the time to object to the Debtor's discharge and the dischargeability of its debt from September 23, 1985 to December 19, 1985.
Two subsequently scheduled § 341 meetings were also adjourned to November 6, 1985, by which time on October 5, 1985, the Debtor's Schedules and Statement of Affairs were filed. However, on November 5, 1985, the Bank requested an adjournment of the § 341 meeting because it had not yet received copies of the Schedules and Statement of Affairs. The § 341 meeting was

Colorado State forward Emmanuel Omogbo confronts New Mexico assistant coach Terrence Rencher outside of Colorado State's arena because he believes Rencher directed racially charged language at him during pregame warm-ups. (0:44)
Colorado State men's basketball coach Larry Eustachy said New Mexico assistant Terrence Rencher tried to instigate a fight with a Rams player outside the Moby Arena in Fort Collins, Colorado, following Saturday's Mountain West Conference game, but New Mexico issued a statement on Sunday disputing accounts of the situation.
Eustachy told ESPN that Rencher was trash-talking with Colorado State players before and during the game, which New Mexico won 84-71. The game was heated throughout and included a second-half skirmish between the teams that resulted in Rencher and another Lobos assistant being ejected for leaving the bench.
Colorado State seniorforward Emmanuel Omogbo, the player involved in the postgame confrontation with Rencher outside of the arena, said Rencher directed derogatory, racially charged language at him during pregame warm-ups.
Video taken by the Albuquerque Journal showed that a postgame confrontation took place as Rencher was standing by the New Mexico team bus and Eustachy and Omogbo were walking to their cars.
"After the game, walking out of the athletic center toward home, the same New Mexico coach was standing right outside the door, and we made eye contact, and he smirked at me and said, 'Take that L, boy,' and after that I exploded," Omogbo told ESPN. "After that, both the coach and myself exchanged words back and forth until Coach Larry Eustachy intervened, and I continued walking home."

was noted to have strong interest in enhancing the role of evidence in policy-making, and had good connections within the HPSR community in India (I10, I15, I19).
In 2013, MoHFW officials were introduced to the idea of a formal mechanism or knowledge platform during a meeting of Indian researchers who had attended the Beijing Global Health Systems symposium in November 2012 (I1, I10, I11). PHFI had been designated as a Nodal Institute for AHPSR in India in 2012 \[[@CR30]\], and in this capacity also supported the organisation of the meeting. A key outcome of the meeting was a consensus that a formal mechanism to link researchers and decision-makers should be established.

Between May 2013 and August 2013, PHFI researchers, with strong support from AHPSR, began pursuing the ideas raised at the meeting convened by MoHFW (I6, I10, I11), and developed proposals for a mechanism to link researchers and decision-makers. Ideas were explored with key stakeholders, including MoHFW and leadership at NHSRC (I1, I10, I11, D27, D28).
A second, smaller meeting was held in August 2013, following which PHFI took the lead in following up on the window of opportunity presented by the Secretary (Health & Family Welfare) (I6, I14, I15). PHFI submitted a proposal for the platform, now formally termed the NKP, in December 2013. In early drafts, the NKP was largely administered by PHFI. The Secretary largely

and in the growing emphasis within WHO and other international health sector stakeholders on strengthening linkages between policy-makers and researchers, two factors strongly articulated in the 2012 WHO strategy on HPSR. Shaped and driven by this context, PHFI and AHPSR emerged in 2012--2013 as 'institutional entrepreneurs', working synergistically to establish a new KTP for health policy and systems that would address perceived lacunae in knowledge translation between policy-makers and researchers working in the health sector \[[@CR23]\]. Their efforts were facilitated by the presence of highly supportive leadership in MoHFW, which allowed for political and financial commitment for the platform, and supported the leadership of PHFI during the early formulation phase.

Surprise, AZ (February 8, 2012) Valley Metro Regional Public Transportation Authority has announced a series of public hearings/meetings on possible service changes to certain routes, including Route 571 in Surprise. A meeting is scheduled in Surprise on March 12.
The proposed service change impacting the city-funded Route 571 would be to remove the stop at Greenway/Sunny Lane. The proposed route would then be as follows: Surprise Park and Ride, south on Dysart to Thunderbird (stop at Wal-Mart to replace Greenway/Sunny Lane stop), east to Grand Avenue, southeast to Van Buren, east to Central Station, south to Washington, west to Capitol.
Any proposed changes or service reductions may become effective as early as July 2012.

Natalia 'Black Widow' Romanova and Carmen Bayonet walked by the Marines stationed on guard duty at the door and entered Wallace's Office. Romanova saw Wallace sitting behind his desk drinking a soda and looking over some reports that had come in from the Tactical and Communications departments.
Wallace looked up finally realizing they were there, "What?"
"Our scout ship received a communiqué from the battlestars that jumped to Ostarsis," replies Bayonet.
"I don't see the problem; it would appear that they discovered a large fleet of both military and civilian ships!" answered Wallace.
"Aurelia Gilliam is rumored to be alive and well within this fleet. I wouldhave found ourselves a trump card we can play in this war."
"Even if Aurelia Gilliam is part of the package?"
Wallace turned away from her and walked over to the viewport that allowed him to look out at the stars on the horizon, "Even if she's part of the package. The good news is that if she becomes a problem for me I still have nothing to worry about. After all, 'accidents' happen every day."
"Would the same apply to Admiral Tolan?"
"I think you know me well enough to know the answer to that question," replied Wallace, kissing Natalia and taking her in his arms.

"A noteworthy growth was also seen in the number of counterfeit currency reports (CCRs) which increased from more than 4.10 lakh in 2015-16 to over 7.33 lakh in 2016-17, which may also be attributed to the demonetisaton exercise," it said.
The latest figure is the highest ever since the CCRs were first generated in the year 2008-09. CCRs are "transaction based reports" and they are generated only when a fake Indian currency note (FICN) is detected.
As per FIU's anti-money laundering rules, the banks and other financial bodies are required to report all cash transactions wherevolume of the increase in the number of STRs can also be credited to the outreach steps taken by the agency in sensitising banks and others to comply with the rule of mandatorily filing these reports under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
"The most notable increase (in generating STRs) was in the category of banks, which recorded almost a 489 per cent increase over 2015-16. The increase was 270 per cent in the category of financial intermediaries," it said.
During FY 2015-16, while a total of 1.05 lakh STRs were generated out of which 61,361 were sent by banks it jumped to 3,61,215 post DeMo and 40,033 such reports were sent was by financial intermediaries that shot up to 94,837 post DeMo, the report said.

The study found that the placement barely met sufficiency requirements but recommended that child remain with mother under certain conditions, including continuing the VA treatment program and obtaining recommendations from mother's psychologist and treatment provider that she was able to care for child. In August 1998, the Washington State caseworker recommended that SCF dismiss its case because mother seemed to be doing very well.
However, before the dismissal could be initiated, mother began drinking again and *213 required inpatient detoxification. Child was again removed from mother's custody. After completing detoxification, mother was hospitalized for psychiatric care. In the fallof 1998, mother entered intensive outpatient treatment through VAMC and also returned to the dual recovery program. Sweet reevaluated mother in January 1999. His diagnosis remained consistent: alcohol dependence and personality disorder NOS; he also concurred with VAMC's bipolar diagnosis. Sweet said that mother had a high potential for relapse and would require intensive support for an extended period. He recommended at that time that a permanent alternative be found for child, because mother was likely to continue to have relapses and periods of instability.
In February 1999, SCF notified mother that the agency had changed its recommendation from dismissal to adoption. SCF filed a petition to terminate mother's parental rights in May 1999. Between May 1999 and the time of trial, mother attended supervised visits with child. In

"BBC Women are very concerned that this publicly funded body is perpetuating a longstanding breach of its stated values of trust, transparency and accountability," the group will tell the parliamentary committee, according to written evidence released Tuesday by the National Union of Journalists.
"We believe the BBC must put these matters right by admitting the problem, apologizing and setting in place an equal, fair and transparent pay structure."
A report published by the BBC last July revealed that just under a third of its top paid executives, managers and media stars are women.

BBC Women has submitted written evidence on 14 such cases to lawmakers.

"When I asked for the pay gap to be corrected the line manager told me 'the BBC doesn't do equal pay,' and that in raising the issue i was being 'aggressive,' " she said in written evidence.
The host said she refused to back down, and was eventually paid the same rate as her colleague.
Another host estimated that her male colleague, who does the same work, is paid twice as much despite working fewer hours.
"I raised the equal pay issue many times over the years, but nothing was done," she said in written evidence.

Online and Social Media Footprint of All Swedish Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons.
The visual nature of the Internet and its newer technologies makes it naturally aligned to plastic and aesthetic surgery. While many studies have looked at the use of social media ('SoMe'), they have been limited by either low response rate or limited scope. Our aim was to analyse a whole community of aesthetic plastic surgeons and their use of the Internet and social media platforms over a period of many years. All active members of the Swedish national aesthetic plastic surgery society were identified. Webpages, professional (LinkedIn), social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) and video-sharing (YouTube) accounts as well as online patient forum (Plastikoperationsforum) mentions of the surgeons and their clinics were identified, and corresponding platform-specific metrics were analysed.obvious that the vehement denials and claims of being innocent by the law minister are utter lies, meant to protect himself as well as others in the government – particularly the political executive including the joint secretaries in the PMO and coal ministry, as well as the Attorney General GE Vahanvati and his former deputy Harin Raval, who put in his papers few days back in the wake of the revelations on the Coalgate-CBI nexus. That the CBI affidavit sharply differs from the erstwhile assertions that no tweaking of the draft report had been done is a slap on the face of the UPA government and its executive, which is reeling under the torrent of expositions that demonstrate how deep it is sunk in the cesspool of rank

University of Wisconsin quarterback Alex Hornibrook was expected to be the Badgers' starting quarterback this year, but it appears he's already won the job months before the season begins.
UW confirmed Hornibrook as the Badgers' starter Monday, the day before spring practice is set to begin.
"He is the guy," Badgers coach Paul Chryst said in a story posted on UW's official athletics website. "He knows it and he thinks it."
The story also revealed plenty of other tidbits prior to the start of spring.
Rising redshirt sophomore David Edwards, a former tight end who started UW's last seven games at right tackle in 2016,enters spring as the projected starter at left tackle. He replaces Ryan Ramczyk, who left a year early for the NFL.
The Badgers expect Hawaii transfer Nick Nelson to take over the starting role vacated by Sojourn Shelton. Nelson sat out last year due to NCAA transfer rules and has two years of eligibility remaining.
The story also states that fifth-year senior tight end Troy Fumagalli will have a larger role in UW's offense this season. He led the Badgers with 47 catches last year and finished with 580 yards and two touchdowns.

The dominant aspect of the circumstances is that the elevator identification was made within a few minutes of the crime, almost on the scene of the crime, in the very building where the crime occurred. In our view this makesslightly larger, "a".

In 1972, Capital Artists began hosting concerts and placed music producers Chan Suk-fan (Chinese: 陳淑芬) and Chan Lau-chyun (Chinese: 陳柳泉) in charge of the events. In 1975, a records division was established.
Throughout the 1970s, Capital Artists focused primarily on producing music for television dramas. In 1982, however, Capital Artists shifted their focus to the Hong Kong–based television network TVB, and began taking part in TVB's newly created New Talent Singing Awards (Chinese: 香港新秀歌唱大賽), or NTSA (renamed NTSA International Finals (全球華人新秀歌唱大賽) in 1997 and TVB8 International Chinese NTSA (TVB8全球華人新秀歌唱大賽) in 2005). The winner of the contest was guaranteed a recording contract with the record label.

However, the South Asian man punched one of the officers in the face. The other officer immediately called for back-up and they subdued the man.
A folded knife about 20 centimeters long was found in the man’s pocket. He was arrested and charged with assaulting a police officer, possession of an offensive weapon and common assault.The most seriously injured survivor of the July 7 bombings today described the moment in which he watched bomber Mohammed Sidique Khan detonate his device just feet away from him, killing six people.
Daniel Biddle, 31, was so severely injured in the Edgware Road blast that he lost both legs, his left eye and his spleen. Today he told the inquests into the 52 people who died that he had been standing no more than six feet from where Khan was sitting when he noticed the bomber making a movement with his arm in his rucksack, possibly pulling a white cord, which set off the device.

has discussed the various aspects. He reviews
all the sthala-puranas. He is of
the opinion that all the
panduranga mahatmyas of all the sthal-puranas is an attempt to
"Vaishnavize" the god Vitthala. In places where the worshipers of
original local deities wanted to preserve the identity of their
god, the writers of sthala puranans accepted their claim and
attempted to superimpose on it the greatness of Vitthala, thus
promoting the process of vaishnavization. (p.42).
He believes that Vithala may be more ancient than Krishna,
Vedic or even prevedic. (p.62). He was originally a folk god of
cowherds (gopas). He avers that he was a god of dhanagars, a
tribal community of the area and has given many tribal folk
songs, to prove his point (p.387). He agrees broadly with
Dhanpalwar who contemplates a shaivite stage during conversion of
Vithala from Buddhism to Vaishnavism.accepted by the masses before Dyandeva, is not historical, it
is purely mythological. Pundlika is not a son of history but an
imaginary hero of devotees' fancy. (p.50)

verses including some of Dynandeva and observes that all saints
from Dnyandeva to Tukarama call him 'twenty fifth : different
from 24 avataras' (verse-68) and Namadeva calls him 'one not seen
in a thousands, and not among the twenty fours'. Though only ten
avataras are popular, twenty four is the highest limit of
Vishnu's incarnations. Vishnu has one thousand names which go by
the title of 'Vishnu sahasra naam' but Vitthala is not found in
it. (p.52) He is also described as 'naked' 'digambar' by Eknatha,
and described as 'a child.' (p.55)

Bihar, the historical
birth place of the
Buddha, similarly a term 'Saugat', names of places like
Sarnath and Mrigdaya, term 'parivrajika' applied to disciple
of Buddha, all these are found in the descriptions in
Puranas. Vishnu Puran calls him 'mundit' (i.e. tonsured) and
'nagna' (naked). 'Maya-Moha' is a special adjective for him,
because he deceives the daityas by his moha. Becoming
'Digambar', he only, taught Jina dharma, and becoming
'raktambar' he advised Buddha dharma. He is also the same as
promoter of heretical ideas like Charvaka."
"It makes one sad to see these descriptions in puranas about
the Buddha. To call Buddha a maya moha and his teaching to
be heretical to divert the demons away from the right path,
is a great injustice to the greatness of the Buddha. While
converting the Buddha to Vishnu avatara, the puranas have
disposed off the teachingsof Buddha in such a manner. They
accepted the Buddha but completely discarded the Buddha's
teachings. In this background a verse in "Meru tantra" is
important, which says that the Vipras following left path,
Kundaks, Degraded from the caste, having no vedic sanskaras,
those becoming 'mlencha' by mistake, the Golaks, the
Kayasthas etc. can obtain salvation by taking refuge in
Vishnu in Buddha avatara. Jaydev, the poet of 'git govind'
also praises the Buddha in the same way. Buddha who despises
the yadnyas and shrutis and animal sacrifice is the great
ocean of compassion." (p.233)
Knowing well the derogatory remarks of Puranas about the
Buddha, why did the saint poets praise the Buddha? he observes:
"We must not forget that, practically nothing gets lost in
our tradition, it only changes the name and form.

Toyota cutting execs' pay, offering buyouts
February 13, 2009 4:01:39 AM PST
By TALI ARBEL
NEW YORK (AP) - February 13, 2009 --
Toyota Motor Corp. is reacting to the slump in U.S. auto sales by further cutting North American production, slashing executives' compensation up to 30 percent and offering buyouts to about 18,000 workers.
"We've taken responsible, step-by-step actions to address this issue in recent months, and we hope the new measures will help us adjust while protecting jobs," said Jim Wiseman, vice president of external affairs for Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America in a statement.
The company said Thursday it will cut production days at some U.S. factories in April - from two to eight days according to the amount of inventory at the particular plant.
Toyota is also instituting acomprising 10 percent of Toyota's 30,000 manufacturing jobs in North America - while production team bonuses will be reduced.
The company will also offer buyouts to 18,000 workers, but company spokesman Mike Goss said Toyota does not expect many workers to take them.
The buyouts also will not be offered to workers at a Canadian plant, nor unionized plants in the U.S. or Mexico.
The buyout offer consists of 10 weeks of pay, plus two weeks of pay for every year of service, plus $20,000. It will be the company's first North America-wide buyout offer.
The company will also eliminate salary increases for the "foreseeable future."
Toyota, which expects its first annual net loss this year since 1950, had previously frozen North American hiring, eliminated overtime, suspended capital spending and scheduled periodic cuts

culminated in the ouster of unpopular but democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovych on February 22, 2014. The 2014 protests erupted after Yanukovych delayed the signing of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement and began negotiations on joining the Eurasian Economic Union instead.
In the course of about a month of clashes in central Kiev, which reached their peak between February 18 and February 20, 2014, over 130 people, including 18 police officers, were killed, many of them shot by sniper fire.
After taking power, the new government blamed the deaths on Yanukovych, Berkut riot police, and even Russian intelligence. The former president denied giving any orders to fire on the protesters. Other former government officials and anti-Maidan activists maintained that the snipers were not affiliated with the police or other security forces,anniversary of Yanukovych's ouster, Mykola Azarov, who served as Ukraine's prime minister until his resignation in January 2014, offered a grim reminder of who he firmly believes to have been responsible for the Maidan massacre.
In a detailed post on his Facebook page on Tuesday, complete with photo and video evidence, Azarov dropped a bombshell, writing that "today we, and investigators in Kiev as well, have reliable information about the fact that the murders on the Maidan were carried out by special groups of snipers from Georgia, the Baltic countries and Poland, under the guidance of instructors from France and Germany."
These groups, Azarov said, "were provided with cover and diversionary actions by shooters from the 'Maidan Self-Defense' group under the direction of [Andriy] Parubiy and [Serhiy] Pashinsky," the former

French brasserie and faint echoes of 19th century Paris that influenced Tsarist times.
Military officers parading their families by the famous promenade embellished with Christmas decorations dismiss the potential for more confrontation in the Sea of Azov. It and the Black Sea are de facto "Russian lakes".
When the Mongol Tatars of the Golden Horde first arrived in Crimea, they saw a tower and called it Kerim ("fort"), thus Crimea. Then the Tatars moved inland, to Bakhchisaray, where they built the gracious palace of the independent khanate in a green valley protected by stone hills. That was the apex of the Crimean Tatar khanate; Krym Tartary.
Crimea was the site of a groundbreaking historical encounter. Imagine Greek colonists, essentially urban, who had reached Crimea after navigating at least one month fromthe Bosphorus to southern Russia, finding themselves face to face with nomads from Central Asia who had crossed a sea of grass; the Scythians - an Indo-Iranian speaking confederation who were already deploying their nomadic skills around the Crimean steppes when the Greeks arrived in the 8th century BC.
Then came Sarmatians, Goths, Huns, Khazars - Turkic-speaking pastoral nomads from Central Asia, the Cuman (other Turkic-speaking nomads), Mongol-Tatars of the Golden Horde, before Byzantium, and the Ottoman empire. Crimean Tatars converted to Islam in the 14th century. The khanate went on until Catherine the Great conquered Crimea in 1783.
This shows how Crimea has always been an unparalleled crossroads intertwining "civilization" with what Athenian Greeks might describe as "barbarism". The clashes forever permeate the Western self-perception of superiority in relation

No Netflix tax
The idea of a Netflix tax first emerged before the last federal election, when Stephen Harper warned that Canadians needed to vote Conservative or face a tax on the use of the streaming service.
It reared its head again in June, when the Commons heritage committee recommended a tax on streaming services, suggesting it could bring in hundreds of millions of dollars that could be given to the CMF to finance Canadian productions.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau rejected the idea outright.
"We're not going to be raising taxes on the middle class through an internet broadband tax. That is not an idea we are taking on," he said at the time.

The EU acknowledged the tentative steps toward addressing violence between the majority Buddhists and Muslim Rohingyas in the state of Rakhine. The Rohingyas areoften perceived as illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, even though many have lived in Myanmar for decades, most were disenfranchised in the 2015 election, and around 125 000 are confined in temporary camps. The US ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power, lauded Suu Kyi's commitment to stand firm against intolerance and her pledge to grant citizenship to all those entitled to it as "powerful and important". In Suu Kyi's first address to the UN General Assembly, she defended her government's efforts to resolve the Rohingya crisis, and stated that the government would persevere in its efforts to bring peace to Rakhine, and will stand firm "against the forces of prejudice and intolerance."

➢ The Ebola virus appears to have mutated in 2014, which made it less likely to infect its traditional host of bats, and more likely to infect humans. The mutation, known as A82V, spread quickly beyond Guinea, where Ebola first broke out, and was involved in the vast majority of cases. However, the research teams who identified the mutation emphasize that it was not directly responsible for Ebola's spread, which is more closely linked to the movement of infected people in urban areas, and thetwo-twelve months “living like a local” in Israel, experiencing an authentic, unmediated, and challenging journey into Israeli society as well as its people, culture, politics, economy, land, and history.

There were, and are, other concerns that led to the eradication of colored toilet paper. As a result, tinted toilet paper has all but disappeared from the market.
The FDA and the Department of Health and Human Services placed a ban on dyes used in the coloration of toilet paper in 1987 due to an increased risk of cancer in laboratory animals. It was presumed that the close proximity of these dyes to a woman's reproductive organs would lead to an increased spike in cervical cancer.

"For the last five to 10 years our roster has been declining even though we make attempts to recruit every year," Walton said. "[Being an on-call firefighter] is hard work, it doesn't pay a lot, and it requires a lot of training."

William Allen complains of the determination of the Social Security Administration ("Agency") that Allen is capable of substantial gainful employment. Allen was awarded social security benefits in 1994 based on his manicdepressive disorder, and schizoid condition. These benefits were discontinued in 1998 based on the Agency's determination that Allen's condition had improved. Allen appealed this decision and the Appeals Council remanded the decision, specifically requiring, among other things, that "if warranted by the expanded record"

It’s been nearly 9 years since The Cove brought the story of dolphin massacres in Taiji, Japan, and the issue of captive cetaceans before the eyes of millions of people around the world. The film shows viewers the images of fishers corralling dozens of thrashing and squealing dolphins into nets set up in Japan’s sheltered Taiji Cove with their boats. Once the dolphins are trapped in the nets, the fishers stab most of the dolphins with long gaffs, turning the water red with dolphin blood. A few of the youngest, healthiest dolphins are spared—instead of being killed, the fishers tie them up in nets and bring them to shore, to be sold into captivity at marine parks across Asia. When the film was released, scientists said up toand he's the same guy every day — and he's been that way since the day he walked in this building.'

could one day grow up to become terrorists. (And there's more.) And let's not forget that Krikorian is the executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, which is part of an anti-immigrant network comprised of hate groups founded on nativist ideology.
In his apparent dig at the Politico article, the headline of Krikorian's piece reads: "They All Look the Same to Me." But the article highlighted important issues from Hispanics, namely Rubio's "anti-immigrant" stance, which Rep. Luis Gutierrez blasted as "xenophobic" and "tied to the extremist right wing." Rubio's immigration stance, reported the article, is seen as problematic in light of recent revelations that Rubio's parents reportedly weren't Cuban "exiles," as he'd claimed all along, but immigrants whose story mirrors those whom he "want[s] to deny an opportunityin the United States today," as Gutierrez said.
The Politico article also reported:

"They are saying, at the end of the day, 'He is just like us. His mom and dad came here; they migrated because of economic reasons, just like the rest of us.' "
Those are real grievances, and they have nothing to do with ethnic history. And the Politico article was hardly suggesting that all Hispanics share the same views, but immigration has been an issue that resonates with them more than any

Harris came to the United States as a child, was raised in the Boston area and attended Boston University. He had an interest in science, investigators said, and calculations or formulaswere found in a diary in his possession.
Harris was being represented by criminal defense attorney Steven A. Seiden, who is also representing the controversial anti-Islam filmmaker Nakoula Basseley Nakoula.
Reached for comment, Seiden's office described Harris as a highly intelligent and diligent student who attended excellent schools in Boston and has no criminal history or violent tendencies.
"I will speak about Mr. Harris on Friday when I know more about Mr. Harris and what I might say at that time," Seiden said Wednesday. "Thank you."

decision of the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri denying an injunction against picketing activities of the respondent, Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North America, AFL-CIO, District Local 340 (hereafter union). The injunction had been requested by the Regional Director for the Seventeenth Region of the National Labor Relations Board for and on behalf of the National Labor Relations Board (hereafter NLRB) under 29 U.S.C. § 160(l ) (hereafter 10(l )) on the grounds that the picketing was for organizational purposes rather than permissible informational objectives.

On March 24, 1977, the Chief Judge of this court granted the request of the NLRB for a temporary injunction and expedited the appeal. Briefs have been filed by both parties and oral arguments have16, 1976. The union lost the election by a vote of 10 to 9.

DARAA, Syria, June 1 (Xinhua) -- The Syrian army on Saturday showed to media outlets a large amount of C-4 explosives they found in the southern province of Daraa.
An estimated four tons of C-4 explosives were found in the Yarmouk Basin areain the countryside of Daraa, the army said, adding the rebels hid the explosives ahead of their defeat in the province last year.
During a visit to the Yarmouk Basin earlier in the day upon the invitation of the Syrian army, packs of seized explosives were seen laid on the ground.
A military officer told reporters that the army made the discovery as a result of a precise inspection and with the help of local people.
"Through the precise security inspections by the Counter-Terrorism Unit in the Syrian army and in cooperation with local people ... a large quantity of highly explosive materials of the C-4 were found ... in the Yarmouk Basin area which had been controlled by the Islamic State (IS) group," he said on condition of anonymity.

Sometimes, maybe the best thing you can do as a developer is box yourself in.
That was a recurring theme of my conversation with Hangar 13's Haden Blackman this week at E3 in Los Angeles, where Blackman and other members of the Mafia III team were showcasing their game to the public.
While it's the third game in a long-running series, Mafia III will be Hangar 13's debut project. That's a boon, says Blackman, because it means Hangar 13 has been able to find its footing as a studio without having to worry about also come up with something new from scratch. There's a value in constraints, he says, because it can help developers better focus their efforts.
"The brand helps us. It puts parameters around what we can and can'twork. As an example, he points to a misstep early in the development of Mafia III, when he decided to shift focus from developing the game's narrative (the studio perceives a core strength of Mafia games is a strong story) in favor of trying to build a better open-world experience.
"If I could go back and tell a younger version of myself one thing about the project, it'd be make sure to embrace the narrative backbone of the game and not assume it will sort itself out in a quest to make sure the world is 'open' enough," says Blackman. "The big takeaway, I think, was to not go too far away, to embrace the strength of the franchise and not go too far from that. Because early on,

the credibility of both Tracy and Connolly, suggesting that the witnesses had an incentive to lie about Auch's involvement in the Charlestown robbery to receive more favorable treatment from the government on the various charges they faced.
4
In the government's opening statement, the prosecutor told the jury that they would hear testimony from Auch's friends, i.e., the people with whom Auch had chosen to associate and work. Then, during the government's direct examinations of Tracy and Connolly, the prosecutor repeatedly referred to a separate crime in Hudson, New Hampshire, involving the murder of two persons during the robbery of an armored car (the "Hudson robbery"). Tracy admitted to having participated in that robbery, and the prosecutor asked Connolly why the FBI had interviewed his girlfriend about the Hudson robbery.stronger story against him. Finally, the prosecutor urged the members of the jury to convict Auch because if they failed to do so Auch "would . . . laugh[] all the way to the bank."
DISCUSSION
I. References to Matters Not in Evidence
6
Auch's first and most serious ground for appeal concerns the prosecutor's repeated references to a separate crime--the Hudson robbery--during the presentation of the government's evidence. Auch argues that the references to this independent crime, in combination with the prosecutor's earlier statement that Auch was friends with government witnesses, implicated Auch in the violent and well-publicized Hudson robbery and unfairly prejudiced the jury against him.
7
Before we turn to the merits of Auch's argument, we must decide the standard of review. The government argues that we should review Auch's claims

Map #22 (Submitted by the City's Redistricting consultant, NDC)
This map was presented at the October 15, 2013 City Council hearing. It was forwarded to the October 29, 2013 Council hearing, for further public review and Council consideration. The primary change in this map is moving most of the Adams Point neighborhood into District 2. This map also unites Maxwell Park into District 4.

This map was presented at the October 15, 2013other maps have. I would argue that this area by the Lake is more similar to Grand Lake in both types of units (large apartment buildings), economic status (see rents posted on sites like Craigslist) than the rest of the area, and racial makeup (low % of communities of color). This map also adds parts of Trestle Glen currently in District 5, into District 2.
Overall, this map keeps together the dense Asian American communities in the downtown area in one district, and more clearly defines District 2’s flatlands areas as Chinatown and East Lake."

BT is to create more than 1,000 engineering jobs to install household fibre broadband connections.
Of the new recruits, 400 will be apprentices on a training scheme that lasts two and a half years, and BT is hoping a further 200 jobs will go to those retiring from the armed forces.
Demand for faster internet speeds has been picking up as construction of the UK's fibre network gathers pace. In rural areas, the build-out is being funded by the government's Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK) project, for which BT has so far won all the contracts.
BT has already hired 1,500 engineers in the past year, and after the new recruitment wave, it will have 6,000 people working on its fibre build.
Its apprentice scheme has been oversubscribed at a rate of 40focused than the albums we'd done in recent times". Several of the songs have already appeared, including: "Vengeance Of The Blind Dead" on a Decibel magazine flexi-disc (an alternate version of the same song appears as a bonus track on the Japanese version of The Last Spire); a track with a "shuffle beat" titled "Evil Wizard", which will appear on a forthcoming Rise Above Records compilation to be released by Record Collector magazine; one unfinished "very epic" song that is thirty minutes in length which the band may finish and release as a 12" record; and four "groovy" songs closer to the band's more recent recordings.
Ultimately, Dorrian acknowledged his comfort with letting The Last Spire stand as Cathedral's legacy.

Theory of kingship
The opening stanzas of Yuan Phai are an early and important source for one of the main theories of kingship in Siam. Eleven gods combine to create the king. These eleven are the Hindu trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva plus the eight guardians of the cardinal and sub-cardinal directions from Indian tradition: Indra (as 'golden Meru's lord'), guardian of the east; Yama, lord of the dead, guards the south; Maruti, lord of the wind, northwest; Viruna, lord of the waters, west; Agni, fire, southeast; Kuwera, lord of the Asura demons, north; Suraya, sun, southwest; Isana, moon, northeast. This notion that eleven gods contribute divine substance to create a king appears in the chronicles at the 1605 coronation of King Ekathotsarot.
๏Seven reported dead and scores of civilians and security forces injured as thousands protest for anti-Morsi protests
Fatal clashes continued into the night in several Egyptian cities on Friday as thousands of demonstrators took to the streets to protest against President Mohamed Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood, and police brutality – exactly two years after the start of the 2011 revolution that toppled Hosni Mubarak.
According to state media, at least seven people died in Suez and 379 were injured across the country as riots broke out in Cairo's Tahrir Square and cities including Alexandria, Mahalla, and Ismailia. Police repeatedly fired teargas across much of central Cairo and protesters pelted them with stones – bringing parts of the city's road and metro networks to a standstill.

instead blamed his technocrat ministers. "I want [prime minister] Hisham Qandil to go, along with all his team," said el-Nahaal, a 20-year-old commerce student and an activist for Strong Egypt, a moderate Islamist party.
"I'm supporting Morsi," says 65-year-old Hossam El-Deeb, a bearded mosque official, a former political prisoner under Mubarak. "The revolution has achieved a lot in psychological terms," he added, suggesting that it was too early to criticise Morsi for Egypt's dire economic predicament.
A spokesman for the Muslim Brotherhood said that violent protests were unconstructive at a time when the country needed to pull together. "The country is dying because of malpractice over 30 years of Mubarak's dictatorship," the Brotherhood's Gehad al-Haddad told the Guardian. "Now we have to co-operate, or continue falling down."

But Goldstein was also a player in a curious episode involving a pricey breakfast cereal, a former White House assistant chef, a one-time Knicks star and millions of dollars of taxpayer money.
Among his duties as schools CEO, Goldstein oversaw the school food system. He also served as president of the Urban School Food Alliance, a consortium of big-city school meals programs. (The alliance announced on Friday that Goldstein had been replaced.)

The former Carolina forward looks to stay hot as he and the Canadiens visit Raleigh for the Hurricanes' home finale Thursday night.
Montreal (30-35-15) has not finished at the bottom of a conference since conferences were introduced in 1974. Its most recent last-place finish in anything bigger than a division came in 1939-40, when the club placed last in the seven-team NHL.
With two games remaining, the Canadiens remain in the Eastern Conference cellar, but they're just two points behind the New York Islanders and three back of Toronto. They host the Maple Leafs in Saturday's season finale.
The Habs have lost six straight on the road, but they snapped a four-game overall skid with Wednesday's 5-2 home victory over Tampa Bay, with Cole getting a pair of second-period goals.
"It wasa lot of fun," said linemate Max Pacioretty, who had two goals and an assist of his own. "It's important for us to show our fans that we're not that far from being a contending team."
Cole has scored seven times in his last six games, giving him a career-high 34 goals in his first season with Montreal. He spent at least part of each of his previous nine NHL campaigns with Carolina.
The Hurricanes (32-32-16) are trying to escape the Southeast Division basement. They trail the Lightning by just one point thanks to their 2-1 victory at Ottawa on Tuesday and the Canadiens' win the following night.
Carolina hasn't finished last in the division since 2002-03.

1.. Introduction {#s0001}
================
A novel coronavirus was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, the capital of China's Hubei province. The World Health Organization (WHO) named the virus SARS-CoV-2 and called the disease caused by it using the acronym COVID-19, short for coronavirus disease of 2019. The WHO declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency on 20 January 2020 and on March 11 classified the problem as a pandemic. As of April 20, more than a million cases were reported in Europe.
The case of Dr Li Wenliang highlights that health care workers could be affected by COVID-19. He was the first physician to issue a warning to the public about the new coronavirus in December 2019. He contracted COVID-19 while treating a glaucoma patient at Wuhan Central Hospitalon 8 January 2020. One month later, on February 7, he died of the disease. The WHO 'Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Situation Report-82' of April 11, featured infection in health care workers as a subject in focus. At the time of the report there was no systematic reporting to the WHO of COVID-19 cases from counties and only a few countries reported specific data about infection in health care workers. On April 10 Italy reported to the WHO that 11% of its infections were among health care workers. Reports in the media spoke about widespread shortages of protective gear for health care workers. Xiang et al. \[[@cit0001]\], have documented the problem among Chinese health workers. On April 20, the UK National Health Service reported that 27 members of

who is promoting an "America First" agenda -- will mingle at the annual Alpine festival of globalism in Switzerland, and perhaps offer a few views of his own, the White House said.
A string of US presidents have avoided attending the annual upscale event, fearing a sojourn to a European ski resort would make them look out of touch.
The last president to go was Bill Clinton, who attended in 2000.
- Put 'World First' -
"US President Donald Trump is on excellent terms with racism, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, sexism, misogyny, bellicosity, climate change denial, human rights abuse and a policy that deepens poverty and inequality," Campax maintains in its petition.
"We must resist Trump's inhumane politics! We want to put the 'World First' -- not 'America First'," it added, especially taking issue withWashington's withdrawal from the Paris climate accords.
During a visit to Brussels Wednesday, US Under Secretary of the Treasury David Malpass told AFP that he expected Trump to stick to his "America First" message in Davos.
He said the US president was likely to "give strong remarks favouring US workers and explain how his presidency is characterised by putting American interests first in terms of our policies," he said, adding though that Trump would also likely stress "the importance of being engaged in world affairs as we continue to be."
Swiss authorities meanwhile did not appear too concerned by Trump's decision to attend the World Economic Forum, which each year requires a massive police and military presence in Davos.

Conservatives Convene In Capitol For Controversial Convention
9/13/2012 11:11 AM ET
Religious conservatives will meet this weekend in Washington, DC for the sixth annual Values Voter Summit, a meeting which brings together elected officials, church leaders and pundits to discuss agenda items leading up to the November general election.
The controversial meeting has garnered even more attention than usual this year as presidential politics and a recent attack on the event's sponsor have thrown voter sentiment on the issues into stark contrast.
The summit is sponsored by the DC-based Family Research Council (FRC), a Christian nonprofit classified as a "hate group" by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) since 2010.
The group defines itself as an organization aimed at passing legislation and advancing policy that coordinates with its "faith, family and freedom inpublic policy and the culture from a Christian worldview."
The SPLC, meanwhile, says the group "knowingly spread[s] false and denigrating propaganda about LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender] people."
This year's meeting will be attended by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's running mate Paul Ryan but not Romney himself.
FRC staff confirmed Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin, who came under fire for claiming a women could biologically avoid pregnancy in cases of "legitimate rape," and Ann Romney will not be in attendance.
The event has become the "must attend" summit for conservative political candidates in recent years, with speeches given by Sarah Palin in 2008, Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney in 2009 and Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry and Rick Santorum in 2011.

prosecutions. In December 2008 and January and March 2009,
Maldonado-Escarfullery offered to ship firearms from Florida to an
associate in Puerto Rico for sale at a profit. Maldonado-
Escarfullery, who was an employee of FedEx at the time, would
purchase the firearms in Florida and ship them to Puerto Rico by
FedEx. On March 4, 2009, FedEx personnel in Puerto Rico discovered
three packages containing firearms and contacted the local office
of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF). ATF agents
then conducted a -2-
manufacturer or collector, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(e)
("Case 09-109").
In the second scheme, from August 2008 through March
2009, Maldonado-Escarfullery participated in a separate plan to
ship firearms to another associate in Puerto Rico. Before March
2009, Maldonado-Escarfullery had delivered approximately five
packages containing firearms to this associate; during March 2009,
he delivered two more packages containing a total of fourteen
firearms. On August 14, 2009, a federal grand

2009, at a change of plea hearing, Maldonado-
Escarfullery pled guilty to one count in Case 09-109 and one count
in Case 09-143.
Significantly, while he was free on bond, had signed a
cooperation agreement, and was awaiting sentencing, Maldonado-
Escarfullery broke the law again. He shipped firearms from Florida
to Puerto Rico. He was arrested in Florida in October 2010, and
-3-
his probation officer advised the court of the arrest on October
19, 2010. Maldonado-Escarfullery was transferred from Florida to
Puerto Rico to appear at a show cause hearing on November 4, 2010,
where his bail was revoked. On November 30, 2010, Maldonado-
Escarfullery pled guilty to one count of dealing firearms in
violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(a)(1)(A) ("Case 10-447").
On February 2, 2011, the district court in Puerto Rico
held a consolidated sentencing hearing in the three cases. Under
the plea agreements, the government recommended sentences of 12
months and one day for Case 09-109; 30 months for Case 09-143, to

the first president was missing from his daughter's classroom, he set out to correct the oversight and started a project called Portraits of Patriots.
He began producing high-quality prints of Washington from an 1862 engraving based on Gilbert Stuart's famous portrait, which he sells for about $250 to cover the costs of printing and framing. He also lobbied for state legislation proposing that at least one Washington portrait be placed in each school district.
Although a bill passed the House several years ago, it died in a Senate committee after the New Jersey Education Association (NJEA) objected. Nancy Volte, spokeswoman for the NJEA, summed up the general sentiment to USA Today:
"Requiring legislation to honor one person does a disservice to many individuals,'' she said. "There are so many others whowere also instrumental in securing our country's freedom.''
Maybe so, but only one person was the first president of the United States. Only one man was Gen. George Washington, who led American troops in the decisive battle of the revolution.
Such silly sensitivity has displaced intellectual honesty in American education. We've produced a generation with no sense of national identity and little connection to the nation's collective memory.
In the process, we've traded life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for fat, dumb and happy.
And, of course, cheap sheets.
