She also testified that the baggies were used to package jewelry that her mother sold at flea markets. She testified that the butane torch lighter was given to her by her friend Miranda to light lanterns at the river. She further stated that the Darvocet pill bottle belonged to Derek McCann.
On cross-examination, she testified that Stone Cold's car had been sitting at her mother's house for three weeks. When asked about her possession of the spoons, she testified that she not only collected "Tweety" items but that she also collected all kinds of spoons. She added that she had "a Tweety tattoo on [her] leg."[1]
*67 Miranda Haggard testified that the defendant and his wife were her best friends. She testified that she bought the butane torch lighter foundin the vehicle on April 23. She testified that she bought the lighter for 99 cents in Savannah on April 20. She gave it to the Kilpatricks "so they could light their torches, `cause I was scared that they were going to blow themselves up, the way they were lighting their lanterns underneath."
Derek McCann testified that Carrie Kilpatrick is his cousin and that the bottle of Darvocet pills that had been introduced into evidence belonged to him. He testified that he was "down at the campground. And we was going to go fishing. I left [the pill bottle] in a camper." The camper belonged to the Kilpatricks and sat near the river. He testified that after he returned from fishing, he left the bottle in the camper because

All the Devils' hottest news, from notes to numbers to neutral-zone traps
Friday, November 20, 2009
Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello said that center Dainius Zubrus will have surgery later today to "secure" a hairline fracture of the patella (kneecap) on is right leg and will miss four to six weeks.
Lamoriello said the surgery will allow Zubrus to resume walking "shortly", but also immobilize the kneecap without a cast so that it can heal properly.
Zubrus was injured when he blocked a shot from Nashville defenseman Kevin Klein 1:04 into the second period of Thursday night's game. The force of the shot was so great that it broke Zubrus' shin guard.
"I've never seen a shin guard break," Lamoriello said. "It didn't crack. It was just that the cap (on the shinguard) pushed in and the pressure of going in hit a vulnerable spot (on his kneecap)."
After the game, Zubrus wore an immobilizing brace on his right leg under his suit pants.
Zubrus and right wing Ilkka Pikkarainen were both placed on injured reserve today. Lamoriello said Pikkarainen was sent back to New Jersey because he was suffering from the flu -- not he H1N1 variety.
"He has a virus like (head coach) Jacques (Lemaire) had," Lamoriello said. "He wasn't feeling well, so we thought that rather than have him come to Dallas, we would send him home with Zubrus, so he could rest."
Left wing Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond was activated off IR after being placed on it just Thursday because of an upper-body injury.
Lamoriello said that no players will be called up

who lounge on well-maintained beaches around Tofino, the coast’s primary resort town, the plastic epidemic is out of sight and out of mind. So in May of 2017, Tofino-based conservation biologist, diver, Lisa Szostek began planning an unprecedented colossal clean up with her friend Josh Temple, a long-time surfer and commercial fisherman. Szostek knew she had her work cut out for her.
Six months later, a lanky newcomer to town sat in a 12-person zodiac, struggling to zip up his orange floatation suit. That person was me, and while I had no idea what I was in for, I was stoked as hell to be kicking off my four-day volunteer shift in phase one of Lisa and Josh’s plan. It was now called the Clayoquot Cleanup, involving captains, pilots,its nutrient and food sources have not been examined since 1998.
The objective of this study was to examine the trends in energy intake and its nutrient and food sources from 1998 to 2015 among Korean adults according to sex and age groups using data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES).
SUBJECTS AND METHODS
====================
Study population
----------------
The KNHANES is a nationwide cross-sectional survey that has been used to assess the health and nutritional status of the non-institutionalized Korean population \[[@B12]\]. This surveillance system was initiated in 1998 as a triennial survey. In 1998 and 2001, surveys were performed in November and December, whereas the 2005 was conducted from April to June. In 2007, KNHANES was converted to an annual survey in order to provide timely health statistics for

the state accounting officer in respect of premiums for the years 1906, 1907, 1908, 1909, and 1910, paid to the company outside the state by residents of Pennsylvania. The supreme court sustained the charge. 239 Pa. 288, 86 Atl. 787. The whole discussion there was whether these items fell within the statute. On that point, of course, the decision of the state court is final, and as the company is a foreign corporation and this is held to be a tax for the privilege of doing business in the state, it is obvious that the scope of the question before us is narrow, being only whether the statute as construed deprives the company of its property without due process of law, contrary to the 14th Amendment, as alleged.

identified only the American International application, when in fact only a day before the application was made to Manhattan Life they had submitted an application to U.S. Life Insurance Company for a $900,000 policy on Seppinni's life naming Berger as beneficiary. On page 2 of Part 1 of the Application there was a status quo clause, similar to the one in the American International application set out above, which provided that:
Insurance shall take effect when the policy has been issued and delivered, and the first premium for the policy has been paid, all while the health and other material conditions of the Proposed Insured(s) are the same as described in the application, unless the insurance has previously taken effect under the terms and conditions of the Conditional Receipt.
Attachedto the first two pages of the document signed on August 2, 1985, there was a third page, entitled "Part 2," which bore the legend, in relevant part, "COMPLETE FOR NON-MEDICAL CONSIDERATION ON ANY INDIVIDUAL PROPOSED FOR COVERAGE. Applicable to (1) Proposed Insured IF MEDICAL PART 2 IS NOT REQUIRED." This page contained questions concerning Seppinni's medical condition and family history, and it was left completely blank, although Berger and Seppinni's signatures appear at the bottom of the page attesting to the truth of the answers given.
On August 7, 1985, after an examination by Manhattan Life's physician, Berger and Seppinni completed and signed a form labeled "PART 2 APPLICATION FOR INSURANCE." The August 7 document did not contain a status quo clause. As in the American International application,

years because she had continued to pay premiums over that entire time period and she was never informed that there was any possibility that her claim would not be paid. The Court explained "[t]here was no hint in all these years that her standing was contested. The first suggestion of a contest came in May 1916, when she made tender of the dues then payable. Six years had then elapsed since her husband's disappearance...." 234 N.Y. at 255.
Clearly the holding in Steuernagel cannot simply be superimposed on the case before the Court. It is disingenuous to suggest that Dr. Berger did not know that his claim was being investigated, or that he did not know the general areas into which inquiry was being made. His refusal to answertherefor.
The Austin court granted judgment for the plaintiff because the company had subsequently accepted a second premium on the policy, which served to extend the period of the policy past the date specified in the incontestability clause. Nevertheless, the Court finds persuasive the reasoning of the passage quoted above.
It would be unfair to penalize the defendant for not having made actual tender before the motion for summary judgment when its essential posture is one of defense against plaintiff's claim on fraud and non-fraud grounds, and not a posture of affirmatively seeking rescission of the contract. This is especially true where, in connection with its counterclaim for rescission, the defendant made clear its intent to tender.
Because the Court finds that American International has not waived its right to defend

[Hermann F. Hoffmann (1891-1944)--Tübingen psychiatry on the way to national socialism].
This study covers the life and scientific work of Hermann F. Hoffmann who was a disciple of Robert Gaup and in 1936 took over from him as head of the psychiatric clinic at the University of Tübinge. As a scientist, Hoffmann was especially involved in research into genetic problems in psychiatry. He introduced a new approach to some premises of the so-called Tübingen Psychiatric School. In 1933, he joined the NSDAP and became one of the most prominent members of the National Socialist party at the University of Tübingen. From then on, he saw himself as a prophet of a new "biological" philosophy of life. From the present point of view, Hoffmann is something of a contradiction. Onthe one hand, he was a good doctor and a serious scientist; on the other, he promoted biologistic ideology and a criminal regime. These biographical inconsistencies point to some inconsistencies in the history of psychiatry itself with its dialectics of philanthropy and discrimination.

of concern for his family's safety, he would continue to refuse to provide the sought-after grand jury testimony. Id. at 610.
Harris alleges that he was the victim of a wide-spread conspiracy, originally formed in or around May 1998 among his former friendsnow defendants in this action Tommy Zurita, Farid Rashid (the two defendants in the Superior Court felony prosecution), Derrick Kirby and Eddie Sullivan. Compl. ¶¶ 47, 48. The purpose of the conspiracy was first to "deter Harris by means of threats, intimidation, and violence, from testifying freely and truthfully before the grand juries of the D.C. Superior Court and the United States District Court for the District of Columbia ...." and thereafter to retaliate against him by physically harming him "for his having appeared before the above-mentionedgrand juries." Id. ¶ 47. "On information and belief," the complaint alleges that "the conspiracy grew within a period of months" after May 1998 to include defendants Jack Kemp (former household employer of plaintiff's mother), Michelle Carter (the plaintiff's wife), Harry Sullivan, Jr. and Tracie Mitchell (plaintiff's former friends), Eugene Jones (plaintiff's former fellow inmate in Pennsylvania prison), Jensen Barber (plaintiff's court-appointed counsel for plaintiff's grand jury appearances), and two John Does, alleged to be CIA or DOJ officials. Id. ¶ 50. The complaint also states that Harris "refused to provide any testimony before the grand jury" because he was "seeking to protect [his wife] and the couple's three children from any possible retaliation," id. ¶ 45 (emphasis in the original).

[A survey on the use of patent expired drugs in psychiatric disorders: the psychiatrists' and neurologists' opinion and competence].
The use of generic drugs is an increasing phenomenon in Italy, as well as in most other Countries. In front of this, the level of information of medical doctors about their characteristics is still frequently uncompletely defined and insufficiently documented. The Survey "InfoMind" explored by an on line questionnaire the level of knowledge and the principal modes of use of generic drugs in a wide group of Italian Psychiatrists and Neurologists. The attention was focused on the use of generic drugs both in general and in the field of antidepressant treatments. In the group of participants (246) who fulfilled the questionnaire, a valid degree of attention to the critical issuescutting off funds for an organization that helped poor people, smear and slander job that caused ACORN employees to be added to the unemployment list, a help resource for poor people to be eliminated, and attempted to wire tap a United States Senator's government office telephones. In addition, he edited a tape and presented a phony one of ACORN that caused the big mess in the first place.
Yet and still, the sentence he was given is an injustice to ACORN whose organization doors were closed. Because of his fake tape, fake hoe and pimp outfit, and a conversation that never took place, ACORN's federal funds were cut off behind lies and deception that James O'Keefe and fake hoe created. Nevertheless, he gets what is known as the traditional

Manmohan Singh turns 80, will work as usual on birthday
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, a reluctant birthday boy, turns 80 on Wednesday but will spend the day working as he has done in the past, officials said.
A workaholic, the Prime Minister has shied away from celebrations on his birthday but there have been occasions when he has cut a cake on board his special aircraft during foreign trips.
The Prime Minister will on Wednesday give away the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar awards and Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) awards on the organisation's 70th Foundation Day function.
The Prime Minister is the president of CSIR, whose foundation day coincides with his birthday.
"He will work as usual (on his birthday)," an official said.
Though some political leaders are expected to call on thePrime Minister to greet him, the celebrations will be a low key affair, the official said.
Born in 1932 in Gah Begal village in what is now Punjab province of present-day Pakistan, Manmohan Singh's birthday falls on Sep 26 because his parents had given it as his date of birth to get him admitted in school.
His family shifted to India during partition.

"Sep 26 is shown in the school records as my date of birth," Manmohan Singh had said when asked about it.
The Prime Minister has celebrated his birthday mid-air on four occasions.

July 2018 Employment Situation Summary, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a division of the US Department of Labor, the total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 157,000 in July – a decrease of 91,000 from last month’s ‘revised’ 248,000—up from the originally reported 213,000. With the revisions for May and June, employment gains in those two months combined were 59,000 more than previously reported. After revisions, job gains have averaged 224,000 per month over the last 3 months.
The unemployment rate is also published by the BLS. That rate is found by dividing the number of unemployed by the total civilian labor force. On August 3rd, 2018, the BLS published the most recent unemployment rate for July 2018 of 3.9% (actually it is 3.871%, down by .177% from4.048% in June 2018).
The unemployment rate was determined by dividing the unemployed of 6,280,000
(–down from the month before by 284,000—since July 2017 this number has decreased by 676,000) by the total civilian labor force of 162,245,000 (up by 105,000 from June 2018). Since July 2017, our total civilian labor force has increased by 1,778,000 workers.
(The continuing ‘Strange BLS Math’ saga—after a detour in December 2016 when the BLS {for the first time in years} DECREASED the total Civilian Noninstitutional Population—this month the BLS again increased this total to 257,843,000. This is an increase of 201,000 from last month’s increase of 188,000. In one year’s time, this population has increased by 2,692,000. The Civilian Noninstitutional Population has increased each month—except in December 2016—by…)

Residency in Ophthalmology prepares a trainee to be a safe, independent practitioner in the specialty. A number of communications\[[@ref1][@ref2][@ref3][@ref4][@ref5][@ref6][@ref7]\] have pointed to the limitations of the present residency training in India. A prime prerequisite to bringing about a change in the situation is to have a vibrant, up-to-date curriculum. The All India Ophthalmological Society (AIOS) recognized the importance of a well-structured curriculum for residency training in the country. A workshop for the development of a national curriculum for Ophthalmology was organized in New Delhi on January 3, 2011, with Dr. R. V. Azad, Dr. A. K. Grover, and Dr. Lalit Verma in the chair and Dr. Santosh G. Honavar as the program convener. The workshop was attended by experts from all over the country. The invitees included representativesof postgraduate (PG) training institutions from the government and the private sector and faculty from various subspecialties of Ophthalmology. The group prepared a consensus document adapting the residency curriculum of the International Council of Ophthalmology (ICO)\[[@ref8]\] based on the Indian needs. The document constituted a valuable input to the curriculum committees of the Medical Council of India and the National Board of Examination (one of the authors \[AKG\] was a member) in making their recommendations. This communication presents the recommendations modified by some later inputs which may be of interest to the institutions involved with the residency training in the country. The curriculum documents the required knowledge and skills for effective and safe practice of ophthalmology. It takes into account the social milieu and disease pattern in the

I have also profited from the labors of J. S. Morrison, J. F. Coates, N. B. Rankov, Alec Tilley, and the others in Britain, in Greece, and elsewhere who, in the 1980s and 1990s, contributed to designing, building, launching, and to rowing and sailing in sea trials a reconstructed trireme that they named the _Olympias_. If we now have a better sense of trireme warfare than scholars did in the past, it is because of the labors and ingenuity of the practitioners of what has come to be called "experimental archaeology" who devised this project and lent a hand.

Sections 45-4 through 45-7 contain provisions for a hearing before the Town Supervisor on an application for incorporation of a village, the rendering of a report on the application by the supervisor to the town board, a determination by the town board after a meeting based upon the supervisor's report, and a final decision by the supervisorproposed village.

The Town Supervisor also reported that sewers were desparately needed within the proposed village area, and that while some residents therein did enjoy sewer service, many others did not have such service although they had been paying for it for many years.

the inhabitants of Hell, deserves to be punished, and the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) ordained that his punishment should be that he is responded to as mentioned in the second hadith, so as to insult him and the one in whom he seeks pride, so that people would stop doing that in the future and not go back to it.
This hadith was also narrated without this particular wording:
It was narrated that ‘Utayy ibn Damurah said: One day I saw him – i.e., Ubayy ibn Ka‘b – when a man was boasting in an ignorant manner of his tribal lineage, and he told him to bite that part of his father, and he did not use a metaphor. It was as if the peoplehis tribal lineage, because it is reminding him of the part of his father from which he emerged, namely his father’s penis, so he should not go beyond the bounds in pride and arrogance. Similarly, in the other example, mentioning the mother is more effective in rebuking him, by suggesting that he is still as illiterate or ignorant as the day on which his mother bore him [this is a play on words in Arabic, as the word ummiyyah (illiteracy) is similar to the word umm (mother)]. And Allah knows best what the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) meant.

to start a separate entity that would provide financial and business consulting services to clients, KPMG (then known as KPMG Peat Marwick) entered into a license agreement with KPMG BayMark, LLC ("BayMark"), and BayMark subsidiaries known as KPMG BayMark Strategies ("Strategies"), and KPMG BayMark Capital. Under its license agreement, KPMG agreed to lend $100,000 to each of the four founding principals to be used by them as equity contributions to BayMark and its subsidiaries. Also under the agreement, KPMG granted BayMark rights to use "KPMG" as part of its name in return for a royalty fee of five percent of its quarterly consolidated fee income.

Glenn Perry, a senior partner in KPMG's Department of Professional Practice ("DPP") had previously met with Commission staff from the Office of the ChiefAccountant ("OCA") to discuss independence issues surrounding the BayMark arrangement, and when OCA became aware that KPMG was moving forward with the plan, OCA staff asked KPMG for additional information. On October 19, 1995, Perry and a KPMG senior manager named Chris Trattou met with OCA staff. The meeting concluded with OCA staff cautioning KPMG against having BayMark provide services to any of the audit clients of KPMG. Notwithstanding this warning, on November 3, 1995, Strategies entered into an agreement with PORTA — a long-standing KPMG audit client facing financial difficulties — to provide "turnaround services" and assist it with financing. Leonard Sturm, KPMG's engagement partner for PORTA's 1994 audit, had introduced PORTA to BayMark. Under the agreement between PORTA and Strategies, one of BayMark's founding principals, Edward

a preliminary hearing and a detention hearing set for today.
This is the second such incident involving Albuquerque in the past week.
On Oct. 16, federal agents say, Justin Riley Brafford, 29, of Texas was on a flight from Los Angeles to Dallas and he wouldn’t stop touching a woman, playing footsie with her and asking her to go out on a date. The pilot ended up diverting the plane to the Sunport because flight attendants said he was yelling at them after they let the woman change seats.
Brafford is being held in jail until his trial.

No. 10 Civ. 1464(CM).

DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR A PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION
McMAHON, District Judge:
Plaintiff The New York City Triathlon, LLC has filed a motion for a preliminary injunction, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65, to prevent and restrain Defendant NYC Triathlon Club ("NYC Triathlon Club") from using "NYC Triathlon Club," "NYC Tri Club," and "New York City Triathlon Club" as names, trade names

York City Triathlon Club (also "NYC Triathlon Club" or "Defendant") from using "NYC Triathlon Club," "NYC Tri Club," and "New York City Triathlon Club" ("Defendant's Marks" or the "Club Marks") as names, trade names or trademarks, or as a domain name on the Internet, or in any other way that is likely to cause confusion with Plaintiff or its trade name and trademarks, NEW YORK CITY TRIATHLON, NYC TRIATHLON, and NYC TRI ("Plaintiff's Marks" or the "NYC TRIATHLON Marks").
Defendant (a corporation) failed to appear by counsel and therefore defaulted on the motion. As a result, on March 9, 2010, the Court issued a written decision preliminarily enjoining Defendant from ongoing trademark and trade name infringement, including the use of any name or mark confusingly similar to Plaintiffs Marks.See New York City Triathlon, LLC v. NYC Triathlon Club, Inc., No. 10 Civ. 1464, 2010 WL 808885 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 9, 2010) ("March 9, 2010 Decision and Order"); see also Order to Show Cause, Mar. 18, 2010. Familiarity with the Court's decision is presumed.
One and a half weeks later, on March 18, 2010, Plaintiff filed a motion to enforce the preliminary injunction, alleging, among other things, that Defendant's "new" name for its company"Triathlon Club NYC" merely rearranges the club's old name, and so continues to infringe on Plaintiff's Marks because it is confusingly similar to one or more of Plaintiffs Marks. Plaintiff also alleges that Defendant has wantonly disregarded this Court's order, by failing to discontinue use of infringing marks on various social networking sites, including Twitter. Finally,

to enforce its rights. See New York City Triathlon, 2010 WL 808885, at *2.
During the period when Plaintiffs and Defendant's Marks co-existed, there was one instance of actual confusion between the two. Richard Izzo, head of the Westchester Triathlon Club and organizer of the Westchester Toughman Half Iron Triathlon, testified that he received an email on December 23, 2009, from the NYC Triathlon Club announcing the prospective launch of the club. (Decl. of R. Izzo, Mar. 25, 2010 ("Izzo Decl.") ¶ 2 & Ex. B.) In response, he stated that he emailed John Korff as a representative of the New York City Triathlon to "ask him if he could add the Westchester Toughman Half Iron Triathlon" to "what I believed was his club's schedule." (Id. ¶ 3.) Mr.he adopted the Club Marks. (Vandaele Decl. ¶¶ 16, 22.) For at least four of those years, Mr. Vandaele's sporting goods store sponsored the New York City Triathlon race and was its "exclusive triathlon and bike retailer." (Korff Decl. ¶ 45.) Between 2005 and 2008, Mr. Vandaele's store also co-sponsored another race organized by Plaintiff, known as the "New York City Triathlon Club Championships." (Id. ¶ 31.) That name that is surprisingly similar to Defendant's chosen moniker given that Defendant purports not to have selected its name based on its proximity to Plaintiff's intellectual property.[1]
Further, on at least one occasion prior to renaming his triathlon club, Mr. Vandaele (through SBR) appears to have attempted to capitalize on the New York City Triathlon name by printing unauthorized and unlicensed

film lost a full year of production. Bird stated that the lingering plotlines could lead to a third installment, just as they did with the second. "There were a lot of ideas that we had on this film that could be [used]... whether it's another Incredibles film, or something else." Cast members including Samuel L. Jackson and Sophia Bush have expressed interest in reprising their roles. Producer John Walker would not "rule [a third film] out".

considered Herro's application in September 1988. At that meeting, all but one Committee member voted to deny the application based on a purported over-concentration of taverns in the vicinity. Nine months later, however, the same Committee members (minus Henningsen, who was no longer an alderman but appeared at the meeting in support of the new applicant) voted to approve the license application of Ralph Henry ("Henry") for the same premises. At that meeting, Henningsen stated that Henry was putting "substantial money" into the premises, which would be "of a class now or the type now that it's not going to attract the type of unsavory patrons that the place had in years gone by" (Def.App. 393).

Herro did not pursue a state court review of theexpression. As I watched and helped a bit, enthralled, they together deconstructed the entire canopy that has sheathed the living-room ceiling and upper walls for thirty-odd years, loosening, lowering, untangling and coiling neatly the fragile, interlaced twenty-foot lesser-philodendron vines with less damage than I could have managed in a week. Kevin’s tall hands led many in helping Lincoln rescue and secure the large-leafed philodendron spread across a quarter of the ceiling, to cart in his 1946 jeep to his grand home. The dozens of lesser ones were neatly organized, and some taken away, along with some of the orchids and most ferns from the bathroom and den – and, that afternoon and the next, such a horticultural miscellany that I could spend loving bedazzled pages in excursion, but

This case involves the doctrine of adverse possession. Stephen Craig Tobias and Constance S. Tobias appeal from an order of the district court granting judgment n.o.v. and in the alternative, a new trial, in favor of Harry I. Johnson, Jr. and Jolene T. Johnson (collectively "Johnson"). 696 F.Supp. 185. The Tobiases had intervened as claimants in an action brought by the United States against Johnson to condemn 369 acres of land in Roanoke County, Virginia. After the government and the defendants reached an agreement on just compensation,1 the court conducted a jury trial to determinethe interlock originated from the conveyances in 1945 of three parcels of land (Tracts A, B, and C) to Johnson and his father, Harry Johnson, Sr.2 Tract A consists of 93 acres and contains a two-story house that was built by the prior owner, the Dolin family, in 1928. This tract was conveyed to Johnson, Jr. and his sister, although Johnson, Sr. paid for the land. Tracts B and C were conveyed to Johnson, Sr., and title to these tracts did not pass to Johnson, Jr. until 1976.

From 1945 to 1955, the Johnson family used the house on Tract A for weekends, vacations, and summer breaks. Because the Dolins had let the house fall into disrepair after moving away in 1935, the Johnsons

did a considerable amount of work on the property. In addition to painting and planting trees, the Johnsons erected "no trespassing" signs and built a gate at the entrance to Route 311, the state road about 4 miles from the boundary of Tracts A and B. However, from 1955 to 1957, the Johnson visits to the area became less frequent and, by 1957, the house was abandoned and in considerable disarray. From 1957 to 1966, Johnson did not use the property very much, although he did put a new roof on the house and maintain the roadways and "no trespassing" signs. In 1961, Johnson, Sr. granted to the Appalachian Power Company ("APCO") an easement on Tract B for the erection of a twenty-foot widethe present, the Tobiases have used the property for sporadic hunting and hiking trips, and have never been off the land for longer than two years. At the trial, Mr. Tobias stated that he has paid property taxes to Roanoke County since he acquired the land in 1960. Mr. Tobias and his stepfather also testified to a meeting with Johnson, Sr. over the property sometime in the early 1950s. At the meeting, the Tobiases showed Johnson, Sr. a map of the area, and the elder Johnson admitted that "boundary problems" existed. Despite the knowledge that such a dispute existed, neither party mounted a legal challenge to the other's title until the government sought to condemn the land.

The first quest that points you to Riften will probably occur if you pick an “unusual gem”, possibly in the temple crypts of the first major city you visit. Picking the unusual gem up immediately triggers a quest to find an appraiser. That appraiser – the only appraiser in the entirety of the province of Skyrim, apparently – lives in Riften. So, heading there and asking questions of the right people (whom you can distinguish because of, yes, the magical arrow pointing at them) leads to the quest to join the Thieves' Guild.

award. It has remained a critical favorite, and is one of two albums Evans made with drummer Jack DeJohnette.
Other highlights from this period include "Solo – In Memory of His Father" from Bill Evans at Town Hall (1966), which also introduced "Turn Out the Stars"; a second pairing with guitarist Jim Hall, Intermodulation (1966); and the solo album Alone (1968, featuring a 14-minute version of "Never Let Me Go"), that won his third Grammy award.
In 1968, drummer Marty Morell joined the trio and remained until 1975, when he retired to family life. This was Evans's most stable, longest-lasting group. Evans had overcome his heroin habit and was entering a period of personal stability.
Between 1969 and 1970 Evans recorded From Left to Right, featuring his first use of electricbefore this profound change in the music world, and never had problems finding employers and recording opportunities.
Evans never embraced new music movements; he kept his style intact. For example, he lamented watching Davis shift his style towards jazz fusion, and blamed the change on considerations of commerce. Evans commented "I would like to hear more of the consummate melodic master [Davis], but I feel that big business and his record company have had a corrupting influence on his material. The rock and pop thing certainly draws a wider audience. It happens more and more these days, that unqualified people with executive positions try to tell musicians what is good and what is bad music." However, Evans and Davis kept in touch throughout their lives.

work that I canhonestly say, 'Yeah, I'm proud
of that'. I am with this film," he says."It's a fulfilling feeling to know that we did create this piece of filmfrom
virtually nothing."
The Boys follows the release from prison of Brett Sprague (played byWenham) as he tries to fit back into
his malfunctioning family, whichincludes two layabout brothers, a pregnant young woman and along-suffering mother
(Lynette Curran). As the day progresses, there arepointers to a brutal and random act of violence perpetrated by Brett
andhis brothers.
On film, The Boys is an unremittingly gritty tale that carries on thetorch of Australian social realist
cinema, something that has beenfluttering in the recent wake of musical comedy fancy that has filledtheatres and won
overseas notice (Muriel's Wedding, Strictly Ballroom, TheAdventures Of Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert).
The notion of makinga screen version of The Boys had been marinating foryears during long lunch and drinking
sessions at the Green Park Hotel inDarlinghurst between Wenham and the play's producer, Robert Connolly. Soonafter
the play's brief run, Connolly went to film school, Wenham went onto get more film and TV experience and the idea eventually
found purchase.
The play was adapted by noted playwright Stephen Sewell with producer JohnMaynard (Vigil, The Navigator,
Sweetie) teaming up with Connolly, Wenham,cinematographer Tristan Milani and first-time feature director RowanWoods.
As associate producer, Wenham says his job was to make sure "that none ofour visions were ruined anywhere
along the way". The Boys is Wenham'sbaby, his artistically uncompromised little baby.
"We had 100 per cent control, so of what's up there on the screen there isnot one ounce of artistic compromise

there are some parts of the film that can never be retrieved.''
Wenham and Cox took the film back to Molokai 18 months ago and screened it:
"They are so proud of it and consider it their film, which it is. Their story, their history. It's very,
very satisfying.''
Wenham is satisfied with SeaChange, too, and the films that have moved his career into the stardom arena.
"SeaChange changed my career domestically,'' he says. It changed him into a sex symbol: "That's what television
does; it gives you a profile, an enormous profile. That was great. I loved being a part of it.''
The film that opened international doors for Wenham was The Boys. "I was one of its producers and it was
very critically successful in many countries,'' he says.
The big surprise was The Bank,1965, in Marrickville, New South Wales.
Career: First appearance on TV in G.P. (1988). First film Molokai (1999). Received Australian Film Institute
best actor nominations for The Boys (1999), Better than Sex (2000) and The Bank (2001). Won AFI best TV actor for Simone De
Beauvoir's Babies (1997) and nominated for best actor for SeaChange (1998).
Personal: Unmarried, five sisters, one brother. Adam Cullen's portrait of him won the 2000 Archibald Prize.
In March, he signed up as an Ancient Forest Guardian, joining Sam Neill and Toni Collette.

it's Father Damien or one of the leads in Lord Of The Rings."
Indeed, Wenham is likely to hit global celebrity paydirt with the release of the next two Rings sequels, where
he plays Faramir, the brother of the character played by Sean Bean. That's likely to make Hollywood sit up and take notice
in the same way that Britain has over the past couple of years.
"He'll definitely become even more well known after that," Connolly said. "It's a huge role. He'll have such
an interesting career, and one that's long term, never flavour of the month. He's earning himself a very solid reputation."
As far as his standing goes in the UK, Wenham's movie Dust, in which he plays an Oklahoma cowboy in Macedonia
alongside Joseph Fiennes, is screening there at the momentto critical acclaim, and he's also just finished a film directed
by Gillies (Hideous Kinky) MacKinnon. From here on in, it might be difficult to keep him in Australia.
Wenham, however, is having nothing of such talk. Although he's constantly receiving scripts these days, he
still chose to return to Melbourne recently to perform in the play True West. He has little doubt that, unless the roles he's
offered capture his imagination totally, he'll turn them down every time in favour of the smaller gig back home.
"I have representation in the US and one day I'll go over there and spent a little bit of time in LA," he
said, during a break between stage performances.
"But I'm very realistic in my ambition. As I get older, the ambition diminishes. The less ambitious I

because it did feel as though we were forevertrying to fight against the powers that be, which is what, basically, thecharacter
that I played did. He was forever fighting against the hierarchyof the church."
Wenham spent about four months shooting on Molokai, a remote andspectacular place.
"Filming there you can sense the history," he says. "It's so beautiful butyou get off the little plane at
the settlement and the first thing you'reconfronted with is masses of graves."
Wenham did his own research into the disease when he was offered the roleand corrected his widely shared
misconceptions. Leprosy has been treatablesince the 1940s and the risk of catching it from visiting the island wasminuscule.
Though now free to leave, many of Molokai's disfigured "patients" (theterm they prefer to "lepers") have
chosen to stay on the islandthat hasbecome home. The local community granted Cox permission to shoot at theirsettlement
of Kalaupapa but had no plans to participate.
"They were very suspicious of a film coming in to make a story of theirhero," says Wenham.
During their time on Molokai, Cox and Wenham lived at Kalaupapa, drinkingand chatting with its residents
at Elaine's Place, a shed that serves asthe settlement's bar. Local suspicion was replaced by acceptance, whichultimately
lead to involvement. About 50 patients feature in the film andit was partly as a result of their protests that Cox was
reinstated asdirector after he was sacked.
Compared with the average film shoot, conditions were tough, with littleof the usual infrastructure. On
top of producer problems, it was aphysically demanding project.

Leaders of the "Green The Church" movement launched a new effort this week to help 1,000 African-American congregations take action on climate change.
Green The Church, its organizers said, "aims to bring the benefits of sustainability directly to black communities." It includes a partnership between Green For All, the California-based environment and social justice organization, and the U.S. Green Building Council, which will work with churches on renewable energy and energy efficiency projects. It also seeks to "tap into the power of the African-American church as a moral leader and a force for social change," through education and outreach to millions of black church-goersacross the country.
"The black church has always joined hands with other faith traditions and stood on the front lines, as they did on 'Bloody Sunday' in Selma 50 years ago," the Rev. Dr. Ambrose Carroll, a California-based pastor who founded Green The Church, said in a call with reporters Thursday. "So they must with climate change."
Carroll said a lot of progress, such as efficiency retrofits and urban farming initiatives, can be made at the churches themselves. "We may not own a lot of real estate, but we do own church buildings," he said.
The Rev. Dr. Otis Moss III, the senior pastor at Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ, said his church has already purchased 27 acres of land on which to build a new urban farm, housing, and

shots of Heston wandering through an abandoned metropolis, a conceit recently borrowed to great effect by both Vanilla Sky and 28 Days Later. The 1973 film Soylent Green, an adaptation of the Harry Harrison novel Make Room! Make Room!, goes the opposite direction, throwing Heston into streets filled with overpopulated masses yearning to breathe free, or at least score a good meal. (And where The Omega Man is clearly a comment on dimming '60s idealism, Soylent Green plays like the product of a '60s idealist turned bitter.) Set in 21st-century New York, the film casts Heston as an unapologetically corrupt detective investigating the death of privileged bureaucrat Joseph Cotten. Though the mystery has been spoiled somewhat by an over-revealed twist ending, Soylent Green still succeeds thanks to directorRichard Fleischer's sure command of one of the grimmest and most sadly plausible dystopias put to film. Following an ecological collapse, even privilege has been devalued. The rich pay through the nose for jars of jam and tiny servings of beef, while the poor line up for rations of mass-produced wonder foods reportedly mined from the ocean floor, like Soylent Red and the new sensation, Soylent Green. Heston's skeleton-digging eventually leads him to Soylent Green's secret, but only after taking him on a grand tour of a world so lousy, it's little wonder that there's a booming business in suicide services, which promise easy death after 20 minutes of Beethoven- and Grieg-scored footage of unspoiled nature. At one of these, as Heston bids farewell to friend Edward G.

Nagy then left the IMF and part of the inquiry centres on the possibility that she may have received an excessive payout for a person of her position.
Masood Ahmed, the IMF's chief spokesman, said: 'There was an allegation concerning improper behaviour of a personal nature on the part of the managing director. All allegations, particularly relating to senior management, need to be investigated.' But the handling of the investigation has drawn criticism from the IMF because not all board members were informed about it before the newspaper made its inquiries.
There was also anger in Europe. 'It's veryodd that it comes just at the moment when people are talking about the IMF and its head taking a lead role in creating a new global financial order which will not necessarily be to the advantage of wealthy, right-wing Americans,' one French economist and government adviser told The Observer
Strauss-Kahn, a former finance minister, is a leading member of the French Socialist party and is known for his moderate left-wing views. In a statement on Friday he said the 'incident which occurred in [his] private life' took place in January 2008 and that 'at no time did [he] abuse [his] position as the fund's managing director'.

genuinely concerned.
Reagan believed that the American economy was on the move again while the Soviet economy had become stagnant. For a while, the Soviet decline was masked by high prices for Soviet oil exports, but that crutch collapsed in the early-1980s. In November 1985, the oil price was $30/barrel for crude, and in March 1986, it had fallen to only $12.[9]
Reagan's militant rhetoric inspired dissidents in the Soviet Empire, but also startled allies and alarmed critics. In a famous address to the National Association of Evangelicals on March 8, 1983, he called the Soviet Union an "evil empire" that would be consigned to the "ash heap of history." After Soviet fighters downed Korean Airlines Flight 007 on September 1, 1983, he labeled the act an "act of barbarism...[of] inhuman brutality." Reagan's description of the Soviet Union as an "evil empire" drew the wrath of some as provocative, but his description was staunchly defended by his conservative supporters. Michael Johns of The Heritage Foundation, for instance, prominently defended Reagan in a Policy Review article, "Seventy Years of Evil," in which he identified 208 alleged acts of evil by the Soviet Union since the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917.[10]
On March 3, 1983, Reagan predicted that Communism would collapse: "I believe that communism is another sad, bizarre chapter in human history whose — last pages even now are being written," he said.[11] He elaborated on June 8 of 1982 to the British Parliament. Reagan argued that the Soviet Union was in deep economic crisis and stated that the Soviet

the Cold War
Speaking in front of the Berlin Wall on June 12, 1987 Ronald Reagan challenged reformist Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to "Tear down this wall!" Famous passage begins at 11:10 into this video.
By the time Mikhail Gorbachev had ascended to power in 1985, the Soviets suffered from an economic growth rate close to zero percent, combined with a sharp fall in hard currency earnings as a result of the downward slide in world oil prices in the 1980s[16] (petroleum exports made up around 60 percent of the Soviet Union's total export earnings).[12] To restructure the Soviet economy before it collapsed, Gorbachev announced an agenda of rapid reform, based upon what he called perestroika (meaning "restructuring") and glasnost (meaning "liberalization" and "openness"). Reform required Gorbachev to redirect thecountry's resources from costly Cold War military commitments to more profitable areas in the civilian sector. As a result, Gorbachev offered major concessions to the United States on the levels of conventional forces, nuclear weapons, and policy in Eastern Europe.
Many US Soviet experts and administration officials doubted that Gorbachev was serious about winding down the arms race,[17] but Reagan recognized the real change in the direction of the Soviet leadership, and shifted to skillful diplomacy to personally push Gorbachev further with his reforms.[18]
Reagan sincerely believed that if he could persuade the Soviets to simply look at the prosperous American economy, they too would embrace free markets and a free society.[19]
At a speech given at the Berlin Wall on the city's 750th birthday,[20] Reagan pushed Gorbachev further in front

Samrin. According to R. J. Rummel, the Vietnamese invasion, occupation, puppet regime, ongoing guerrilla warfare, and ensuing famine killed 1.2 million Cambodians in addition to the roughly 2 million who had been killed by the Khmer Rouge.[37] The largest resistance movement fighting the PRK government was largely made up of members of the China-backed, former Khmer Rouge regime, whose human rights record was among the worst of the 20th century.
Therefore, Reagan authorized the covert provision of aid to smaller Cambodian resistance movements, referred to collectively as the “non-communist resistance” (NCR) and including the partisans of Norodom Sihanouk and a coalition called the Khmer People's National Liberation Front (KPNLF)[38] then run by Son Sann, in an effort to force an end to the Vietnamese occupation. In 1982, covert aidgovernment was forced to negotiate for peace, resulting in the 1991 Paris Agreements.[40] Then, under United Nations supervision, free elections were held in 1993.[41]
Indonesia and East Timor
Headed by General Suharto, the Indonesian government invaded East Timor in 1975 and occupied the country until 1999. Under Reagan, the U.S. continued military aid provision to the Suharto regime, a policy established in 1975 under Ford and continued by the Carter administration.[42] In December 1983, a letter signed by 122 members of Congress addressed to President Reagan was publicized. The letter noted "persistent reports from Amnesty International and other organizations of human rights violations" and asked the president "to add the plight of the people of East Timor to [his] agenda."[43] Uncompromising, Reagan continued the arms trade to the Suharto regime.

Security AdvisorJohn Poindexter and Col. Oliver North worked through CIA and military channels to sell arms to the Iranian government and give the profits to the contra guerillas in Nicaragua, who were engaged in a bloody civil war. Both actions were contrary to acts of Congress. Reagan professed ignorance of the plot, but admitted that he had supported the initial sale of arms to Iran, on the grounds that such sales were supposed to help secure the release of Americans being held hostage by the Iranian-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Reagan quickly called for the appointment of an Independent Counsel to investigate the wider scandal; the resulting Tower Commission report found that the President was guilty of the scandal, only in that his lax control of his own staff resultedin the arms sales. (The report also revealed that U.S. officials helped Khomeini identify and purge communists within the Iranian government.[113]) The failure of these scandals to have a lasting impact on Reagan's reputation led Representative Patricia Schroeder to dub him the "Teflon President", a term that has been occasionally attached to later Presidents and their scandals. Ten officials in the Reagan Administration were convicted, and others were forced to resign. Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger was indicted for perjury and later received a presidential pardon from George H.W. Bush, days before the trial was to begin. In 2006, historians ranked the Iran-Contra affair as the ninth-worst mistake by a U.S. president.[114]

1990, the Communist Party was forced to surrender its 73-year-old monopoly on state power. Soviet hardliners rebelled and staged a coup against Gorbachev, but it failed. Boris Yeltsin rallied Russians in the street while Gorbachev was held hostage. By December 1991, the union-state had dissolved, breaking the USSR up into fifteen separate independent states. Boris Yeltsin became leader of the new Russia.[138]
In her eulogy to Ronald Reagan at his funeral, former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, whom Reagan worked very closely with during his tenure in office, said, "Others hoped, at best, for an uneasy cohabitation with the Soviet Union; he won the Cold War — not only without firing a shot, but also by inviting enemies out of their fortress and turning them into friends.... Yes, hedid not shrink from denouncing Moscow's 'evil empire.' But he realized that a man of goodwill might nonetheless emerge from within its dark corridors. So the President resisted Soviet expansion and pressed down on Soviet weakness at every point until the day came when communism began to collapse beneath the combined weight of these pressures and its own failures. And when a man of goodwill did emerge from the ruins, President Reagan stepped forward to shake his hand and to offer sincere cooperation."

Fossil Discovery Has Implications For Patterns Of Evolution
The University of Toronto discovery of fossilized remains of a new species of giant ground sloth is challenging the theory of evolutionary change of fauna between North and South America.
Gerardo De Iuliis, a graduate and teacher in the department of zoology, and a Brazilian colleague discovered in Citrus County, Fla., fossilized skeletons of giant sloths that likely existed over two million years ago. "These giant sloths were among the earliest mammals and the largest to migrate from South America to North America after the formation of the Panamanian land bridge (present-day Central America)," he says. This species was later replaced by one called the Panamerican giant ground sloth which became extinct 10,000 years ago.
Current evolutionary theory suggests that mammals from SouthAmerica were inherently inferior to and could not survive as well as their North American counterparts. "The discovery of this new species of giant sloth has significant ecological implications for this traditional theory," De Iuliis says. "These groups of sloths migrated to North America, diversified and thrived for nearly two million years which would hardly be expected for a group of inferior animals. A similar pattern can be noted for other South American mammals."
The giant ground sloth, on average the size of a small elephant, weighed about four tons and is believed to have been a herbivore. They had huge claws -- much larger than those of their modern-day tree sloth cousins -- and were probably capable of walking on their hind legs. A study, co-authored by De

Joyce suggested Moffat.
An introduction was arranged at a conference in New York. The encounter was brief, but it made a big impression. Afterward Moffat told his friend and colleague Ken Hammer about the meeting with this aggressive, in-your-face woman. "She told him it was urgent that she see him again," Hammer recalls. "It was the kind of story guys share -- 'Hey, this woman is stalking me' -- a way of elevating himself in the eyes of other guys. I think he was kind of flattered."
He was a perfect contact. As head of the global supply chain, he spoke regularly with the biggest technology companies in the world, both vendors and customers. He had the ear of the CEO.
Moffat was under pressure, at home and at work. Hewas uprooting the family from Raleigh to the countryside of Connecticut. The transition was rocky. And Moffat's mother, Edith, was dying. Repeatedly when Moffat was traveling, Amor would have to take her to the hospital and spend nights there with her. When she died in September 2002, Moffat was devastated. Months later Chiesi was also grieving over the loss of her father, who had accompanied her to analyst conferences.
Chiesi and Moffat struck up a business friendship. With an impressive array of sources who confided in her, Chiesi had her finger on the industry pulse, Moffat soon discovered. She talked with everyone. She was brimming with ideas about which alliances IBM needed to build and which companies IBM needed to stand up to. In time the conversations took on

Afghan MPs pass election watchdog bill
KABUL (AFP) – Afghan lawmakers have passed a bill to give the country's controversial electoral complaints watchdog more power and independence for the upcoming elections, officials said Monday.
The law, delayed for months in parliament, also defines the role and structure of the country's election commission, MP Naqibullah Fayeq told AFP.
"They have approved the existence of the ECC (Electoral Complaints Commission), but with no foreign members," he said, adding that the commission will have five members who will all be Afghans.
Last year, the Afghan government decided to scrap the UN-backed ECC, which investigates complaints related to elections, in favour of a tribunal that could give President Hamid Karzai more control over polls.
In the 2009 presidential election, the ECC, then made up of three Afghansand two foreign UN representatives, investigated thousands of complaints, most of them related to alleged ballot rigging by Karzai's supporters.
The watchdog ordered ballots from 210 polling stations to be disqualified in a probe that ultimately forced the front-runner Karzai to accept a second-round run-off, until it was abandoned when his opponent Abdullah Abdullah pulled out.
President Hamid Karzai has long pushed for foreign members to be removed from the ECC, saying their presence is an interference to Afghanistan's sovereignty.
"The ECC still has the full power to invalidate fraudulent votes and will be the only body responsible to announce the final elections result," Fayeq said.
Under the new law, a 15-member "selecting committee" consisting of MPs, civil society representatives and political parties will choose the five members of the ECC and

by how the dispute flew in the face of all the freewheeling musician stood for. "Everyone is losing this one. Especially Jerry," says '60s icon Wavy Gravy (now a Bay Area peace activist). "Jerry," admits Adams Garcia, "would have hated dragging the family history through a courtroom."
But the battle did make for colorful drama. On one side was Carolyn Adams Garcia, a love-bead-wearing sculptor and farmer known as Mountain Girl since she met the musician in the mid-'60s. Opposing her was Deborah Koons Garcia, the sleekly dressed filmmaker who married the musician 18 months before his death. Adams Garcia spoke glowingly of her on-again, off-again 24-year relationship with Jerry, even reading the court a love letter he had sent her. ("Talking to you," he declared, "is a directline to happiness.") Deborah Koons Garcia's counsel, meanwhile, cast doubt on Adams Garcia's story by proving the letter she claimed to have received in the mid-'80s was mailed by Garcia in the late '60s. Carolyn Adams Garcia's 1981 marriage to the musician, the defense contended, was a tax maneuver, and their agreement a manipulation. Says Deborah Koons Garcia: "He wanted her out of his life."
Garcia obviously felt differently when he met Carolyn Adams in 1964. Married to Sarah Ruppenthal, now a psychologist, and the father of Heather, 33, the young guitarist fell for Adams, a spirited 20-year-old who was one of novelist and psychedelic gadfly Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters, the group that handed out LSD during Kesey's famous Acid Tests. Adams was married to Prankster George Walker and

had recently given birth to Kesey's child when she moved into Garcia's room in the Grateful Dead's house in San Francisco in 1966. But the guitarist raised the girl, Sunshine, as his own, and she became an older sister to Annabelle, born in 1970, and Theresa, born in 1974. "They had a lot of very good, happy years," observes Kesey, who remained a close friend.
But as Garcia spent more time on the road in the mid-'70s, he greased his wheels with a growing array of drugs and women. "Girlfriends were certainly something he didn't seem to lack," says Carolyn Adams Garcia. One of those was Deborah Koons, a 23-year-old University of North Carolina grad who met Garcia when she hopped on the band's bus after seeing her firstGrateful Dead show in 1973. Their romance, which began in 1975, "was very upsetting to me," says Adams Garcia. Remembers Koons Garcia: "She chased us around at shows a couple of times. We were very together, and the person that gets left behind is not happy."
In the late '70s, Carolyn Adams Garcia, who was living apart from Jerry in Stinson Beach, decided to leave the area, eventually settling with her kids outside Eugene, Ore., where she still lives. Although she didn't consider her relationship with Garcia over, she says, "It was about getting away from the weirdness." Koons, who also didn't like Garcia's drug use, drifted away from him in 1977. Four years later, in a Buddhist ceremony squeezed in between sets at the Dead's New Year's show

Pulley, an African-American male, began his employment with
KPMG in July 1999. KPMG, which is based in McLean, Virginia,
provides information technology and management consulting services
to various companies and government organizations worldwide. KPMG
originally employed Pulley in its McLean office as a consultant in
its Global Consulting Solution Center. Although he was assigned to
the McLean office, Pulley worked a majority of the time from home
on his personal computer.
In his Year End Review for the 2000 fiscal year, Pulley
received an overall score of "Meets Expectations." This score was
the third highest (or, depending on one's perspective, the third
lowest) out of five possible overall scores.2
2
The five possible overall scores, ranked highest to lowest,
were: Significantly Exceeds Expectations, Exceeds Expectations,
Meets Expectations, Meets Some Expectations, and Does Not Meet
Expectations.

In July 2000, Pulley was transferred to KPMG's Business
Development and Knowledge Center ("BDKC"). Pulley was the only
African-American employee out of approximately 55 employees working
in the BDKC. Pulley was assigned to work with a team of other
employees on a "knowledge sharing and intellectual capital capture"
software application known as the "Intraspect project."

was intended to address the shortfalls in Pulley's performance and
assist Pulley in achieving a minimum level of performance in those
areas. Pulley's continued employment with KPMG was the ultimate
goal of the PIP.
On July 10, 2002, Wallace asked Pulley to meet with her the
following day to "touch base" prior The call did not occur. Courtney, Wallace,

provisions plaintiff's employment was in fact continued after he became 65. In conformity with the Faculty Guide, this continuation was on a year-to-year basis. This was done under two successive written contracts, each of which was accepted and signed by plaintiff. Each of these recited that it was "made with the approval of the Board of Trustees." The second of these, covering plaintiff's employment for 1972-1973, contains the statement: "Retirement scheduled for June 30, 1973," and the further statement that "[i]n view of retirement schedule, this will be the final regular full-time contract, as per regulations and policies published in the Faculty Guide and elsewhere." Thus, the express language of the controlling documents disclosed by plaintiff's complaint establishes that further continuation of his employment remained in the discretionof the Board of Trustees and that he has no right to relief because the Trustees did not exercise that discretion in the manner which he desired.
In paragraph VI of the complaint, plaintiff refers to the word "continuous" which appears after the word "tenure" in his appointment contract for 1971-1972, and alleges that "this offer of continuous employment, made after Plaintiff's 65th birthday, was to be in effect until Plaintiff reached age 70 subject to termination for cause only." That the single word, "continuous," in the context in which it appeared, amounted to an offer of continuous employment on any terms or for any period beyond that expressly covered by the document in which the word appeared, is an unwarranted conclusion drawn by plaintiff.

DOES EXTRACORPOREAL SHOCK WAVE THERAPY (ESWT) HELP IN TREATMENT OF GREATER TROCHANTERIC PAIN SYNDROME (GTPS)
============================================================================================================
In a randomized controlled trial, investigators from the University of Pavia, Italy \[[@hnz016-B5]\] aimed to explore the role of focused ESWT in the treatment of GTPS. A total of 50 patients affected by GTPS with gluteal tendinopathy were recruited; the study group was assigned to receive f-ESWT, the control group received ultrasound therapy (UST). Hip pain and lower limb function was assessed by means of a numeric rating scale (p-NRS) and the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS scale), respectively. The first follow-up evaluation (2M-FUP) was performed 2 months after the first treatment session, the second (6M-FUP) was carried out 6 months later.

the Court's decision in perspective: "Abortion will end one day just as surely as the day came when slavery was outlawed . . . Pro-life attorneys think this Supreme Court victory will open new action against other unconstitutional restrictions on pro-life activities. The court must recognize that it is unconstitutional to have special laws against people who disagree with abortion." He cited as examples the federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act passed during the Clinton years, and the "bubble zones" imposed by local governments that keep even people who are only praying away from clinic doors.
The Hand of God
A former Benedictine, who left religious life before final vows because "I wasn't cut out for obedience," Scheidler attributes victory ultimately to God. "I saw and experienceddirectly the power of concerted and persistent prayer," he said. "I knew without a doubt that God has His hand in this victory."
Thomas Brejcha, lead counsel for Scheidler's side, also assessed the outcome in very unlawyerlike terms. "We got not a single vote in the [Chicago] Court of Appeals, and we get an 8-1 decision from the Supreme Court," he marveled. "It's a remarkable, a miraculous turnaround."
The case was full of ironic twists. Anyone familiar with the pro-life movement knows that far from having centralized control and powerful bosses, pro-life groups are often hampered by their inability to unite. Yet NOW, in a sense, produced what it condemned. It raised Scheidler to the status of head man in legal proceedings and persuaded other pro-lifers to rally around him.

efforts have hit the brick wall of our nation's sacred right of protest. Long live that right!"
Francis Cardinal George of Chicago, who led a prayer vigil with Scheidler's group outside a Planned Parenthood facility shortly after the decision, stated, "If the courts had been used to stop organized sit-ins at lunch counters in the Sixties, there would have been no civil rights movement."
Columnist John Leo pointed out that the American Civil Liberties Union had opposed the passage of RICO from the start, but "they didn't fight it when it was used against pro-lifers."
Editorials in conservative and liberal papers alike applauded the decision. The Wall Street Journal said it upholds 'the right of all Americans, left or right, to protest under the First Amendment.' The Chicago Tribune stated: "Noit over."
The High Court agreed.
"Obtaining" a Decision
In the end, the 17-year case that made two trips to the Supreme Court was shockingly simple. To violate RICO one must commit a series of specified acts or conspire to commit these acts. Scheidler and his colleagues admitted that they had broken the law--though only laws against trespassing and related minor offenses, which don't qualify under RICO--and that they did so in concert with others with the express intent of shutting down abortion clinics. NOW claimed that by depriving or attempting to deprive clinics of their right to do business, Scheidler et al. were engaged in extortion, one of the criminal acts specified by RICO.
The court stated, "But even when their acts of interference and disruption achieved their ultimate goal of

Production wrapped on the eve of the film's original release date before its star Paul Walker died.
The statement posted on the film's Facebook page started with "We made it", but said there were moments when the crew "didn't know how we could go on".
Walker died in November after the Porsche in which he was a passenger crashed in California and production on the film was halted for a number of months.
The 40-year-old's co-stars, Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez, have spoken publicly of their grief, but said their fans "inspired them to keep going".

to sanction Modric's proposed £40m move to Chelsea, even after he had submitted a transfer request.
But if Madrid do not pay the money, Levy is prepared to keep Modric, who is under contract until 2016. Modric refocused last September after his Chelsea move had been blocked to enjoy an excellent season and Levy would expect the same from him again if a deal cannot be concluded to his satisfaction.
Madrid's assistant coach, Aitor Karanka, has confirmed the club's interest in Modric, telling the Spanish newspaper AS: "Which club would not want a player like him? He is an outstanding footballer and had a great tournament [Euro 2012]. It is clear that he would fit in Madrid."
Villas-Boas's problems in midfield extend to the fitness of Scott Parker, who has sufferedcomplications with the achilles injury that he felt towards the end of last season. Parker is working at Spurs Lodge and the club still hope to avoid the need for an operation, although Villas-Boas fears the worst.
Surgery could keep Parker out for six weeks, meaning that he would miss the start of the season. Tottenham kick off away to Newcastle United on 18 August. Parker may also be a doubt for England's first two World Cup qualifiers, against Moldova on 7 September and Ukraine on 11 September.
Tottenham completed the signings of the defender Jan Vertonghen from Ajax and the midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson from Hoffenheim in the days after they unveiled Villas-Boas as their new manager on 3 July, but it seems as though their momentum on the transfer

Mr. Romney amplified his pleas on Friday, Mr. Trump snubbed a
major meeting of Republican activists and leaders after rumblings that
protesters were prepared to demonstrate against him there, in the latest sign
of Mr. Trump’s break from the apparatus of the party whose nomination he is
marching toward.
As polls showed Mr. Trump likely to capture the
Louisiana primary on Saturday, the biggest prize among states holding contests
this weekend, the party establishment in Washington seemed seized by anxiety
and despair. At the Conservative Political Action Conference, a long-running
gathering of traditional conservatives, attendees feared that they were
witnessing an event that has not occurred in more than a century: the breaking
apart of a major American political party.
Steve Forbes, the publisher and two-time Republican presidential
candidate, summed up the mood at the event. “Parties,” he said, “don’t usually

should also be terrified by the prospect of a President Rubio, sitting in the
White House with his circle of warmongers, or a President Cruz, whom one
suspects would love to bring back the Spanish Inquisition.
With falsely named "religious freedom" bills being defeated or vetoed in a number of states and businesses threatening to leave states where they have been enacted, the Republicans in the Virginia General Assembly, especially the House of Delegates, continue to demonstrate that they are total shameless whores to anti-gay hate groups, especially The Family Foundation ("TFF"). While Governor McAuliffe has said that he will veto any such bill that targets gays and grants special rights to Christofascists, the members of the GOP seem undeterred in striving to

Sang-Moon Bae, of South Korea, hits off the first tee during the final round of the Byron Nelson golf tournament Sunday, May 19, 2013, in Irving, Texas. Bae and the rest of the field are wearing a red ribbon in memory of former US Open champion and long time analyst Ken Venturi.
When the ball landed on the front edge of the green fronted by water, he bent his knees and leaned backward obviously relieved. He was only a few shots away from his first PGA Tour victory and a congratulatory hug from the widow of the tournament's namesake.
After squandering a four-stroke lead in the finalround, the 26-year-old South Korean beat Keegan Bradley by two stokes for a win in the United States to go with his 11 international victories on the Korea, Japan and Asian tours

insurers said they would no longer write wind-damage insurance policies along Texas' coast.
The number of policies written by the state-backed insurer subsequently skyrocketed, said David Nardecchia, a senior specialist for the Office of Public Insurance Counsel and a former underwriter manager at TWIA.
"It varies by county, but in certain counties it could be pretty high," Nardecchia said. "They have a majority of the risk in those counties."
The insurer faced major problems after Hurricane Ike, when more than 1,900 policyholders sued TWIA over its handling of claims. The insurer ended up settling a majority of those cases. However, state Sen. Larry Taylor, R-Friendswood, sponsored a series of changes to the agency in 2011 after alleging an outsized portion of the settlements went to pay attorneys' fees instead of policyholders.school administrators say were full of holes.
Without the money from TWIA, the school patched the holes, but they continue to spring leaks, causing ceiling tiles to bubble in the Student Center and water stains to creep along the upper walls of the school's dome-shaped gym.
'A cursory look'
Clen Burton, a vice president at college, said he's not surprised the insurer covered only damage that could be seen from sidewalks. He said that TWIA's original adjuster never looked on top of roofs or in crawl spaces and instead walked around the campus for about 90 minutes and left.
Dickinson ISD also questioned the insurer's actions during the appraisal process.
While the district's adjuster went onto school roofs and into crawl spaces after Harvey, Dickinson ISD Deputy Superintendent Ryan Boone said TWIA's adjuster

The American woman kidnapped from a national park in southwest Uganda by four gunmen in military uniforms, who are now demanding a ransom of $500,000, has been pictured.
Grandmother Kimberly Sue Endicott, who turns 57 on April 15, was on a game drive in Queen Elizabeth National Park when her vehicle was ambushed on Tuesday evening, according to police.
A friend said Thursday that Endicott had shared an image on Instagram of four armed guards before she suddenly stopped posting two days ago.
Ugandan soldiers on Thursday expanded their hunt for the gunmen, who abducted the California woman and Wild Frontiers Safari driver Jean-Paul Mirenge Remezo, 48, around dusk on Tuesday.
State-run Uganda Wildlife Authority said the Congolese father-of-two was driving without an armed guard despite advice to have one present.

caregivers' physical and mental well being were decreased due to an increased risk of stress-related mortality.
The caregiver's relationship with the elderly was strongly related to caregivers' physical and mental health. In this study, adult children of the elderly accounted for the majority of the family caregiver (66.5%). In China, it is an obligation to provide care for the elderly, owing to the Confucian thought of filial piety and the one-child policy. The adult children of the elderly take upon themselves heavy caring obligations. They have to sacrifice themselves to repay their parents \[[@B34]\], resulting in their physical and mental health being affected greatly.
In this study, we also found that living with the elderly was a significant predictor of physical QOL. The reason may be that, the caregivers living: it is a big saga that was written and drawn by Jack Kirby and ran through the series NEW GODS, FOREVER PEOPLE, MR MIRACLE and SUPERMAN´S PAL JIMMY OLSEN. The main gist of the story is the war between New Genesis, a planet that could be described as an utopian paradise where godlike beings live
and Apokolips, a planet three seconds away from destruction. A polluted, stinking, fetid orb, burning, most natural resources spent and populated by the most evil beings in the universe ruled over by an allpowerful despot who subjugates all his subjects. They have no freedom, no purpose in being other than to live and die for the glory that is Darkseid.

"The new Arkansas flag design features a solid green color field and a representation of a pine cone, both of which reference its nickname, 'The Natural State.' The pine cone is contained within a diamond, a nod to the state's diamond production and previous versions of the flag."
California
"The California state flag features a California grizzly bear, which is the official animal of the state. The star and bear are references to the Bear Flag that was raised during the Bear Flag revolt of 1846, and the red stripe and color field are nods to the Bear Flag of 1911. Itssingle star honors the 1836 California Lone Star flag."
Colorado
"The official motto of the State of Colorado is 'Nil Sine Numine,' which translates to "Nothing without providence." The new flag features an icon combining three mountains with the All-Seeing Eye (or Eye of Providence), referencing the motto."
Connecticut
"The Connecticut state flag consists of three grape vines bearing fruit. This image is featured on the Connecticut Coat of Arms, which originated on a seal Colonel George Fenwick brought from England in 1639. The three bunches of grapes represent the three colonies that were joined as Connecticut in 1665. Below the grapes, the state motto 'Qui Transtulit Sustinet' ('He who transplanted still sustains') is prominently featured."

Louisiana
"Early European settlers were impressed with the pelican's generous and nurturing attitude toward their young, and the brown pelican has been a symbol of Louisiana since that time. Louisiana's official nickname is "The Pelican State" and the brown pelican appears on the state flag, seal, the official state painting, and is one of three Louisiana symbols displayed on the U.S. Mint's bicentennial quarter. Louisiana designated blue, white, and gold as the official state colors in 1972."
Maine
"The motto 'Dirigo' (translated from Latin as 'I Lead') was adopted when Maine entered the Union in 1820. Since that time, it has been featured in several versions of the Great Seal of theState of Maine in conjunction with the North Star. The new flag design maintains a blue color field to reference the blue of the flag of the United States, while distilling the motto and North Star into a simple icon."
Maryland
"Maryland's main symbol was taken from the existing flag which is a symbol of Maryland's founding family, the Crossland family that included George Calvert, first Lord Baltimore. Their symbol is called a 'cross bottony,' with red and white Crossland colors. Around the cross bottony Fatti maschil, Parole femine and 1632 are shown. The first was adopted as an element of the Great Seal of Maryland, and has been accepted as a state motto. In the year 1632, Lord Baltimore II was given a land grant that created Maryland."

The crescent moon, symbolizing the 'second son,' as Missouri was the second state formed from the Louisiana Territory. The logo also bears the state motto: Salus Populi Suprema Lex Esto (Latin for 'Let the welfare of the people be the supreme law')."
Montana
"The state flag displays symbols of Montana's history and natural beauty. The snowy mountains that gave the state its name feature prominently. Behind the mountains a pick axe symbolizes Montana's mining and farming history. Below the pick's handle is another reference to mining history, Montana's motto, Oro Y Plata, Spanish for 'gold and silver.' To many, Montana is known for its expansive wilderness and unexplored frontier. Because of this many have adopted a new slogan, 'The Last Best Place,' also featured on the new flag."
Nebraska
"Nebraska is theCornhusker State, widely successful thanks to its hardy agricultural industry. This state flag is adorned with corn stalks and sheaves of wheat displayed proudly over lush farmland. The center of the seal retains the state motto, 'Equality Before the Law.'"
Nevada
"Nevada became the 36th state to enter the union in 1864, and the phrase 'Battle Born' on the state flag reflects the state's entry on the Union side during the American Civil War. It is surrounded by sagebrush, a native plant Nevada designated as the official state flower in 1917."

Many know New Jersey for the tourist destinations and bustling shoreline, which the main shield on this flag references. Their motto Liberty and Prosperity is inscribed in the crest."
New Mexico

NewYork
"The iconic image of the American bald eagle with outstretched wings features prominently on the New York state flag and state seal. As such, it seemed fitting to represent the eagle as the central design element for the New York state flag. Beneath the eagle, a banner displays the New York State motto, 'Excelsior' (translated from Latin as 'Ever Upward')."

Olfactive Studio Proves That A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Notes
31
Distinct fragrances certainly have the power transport us mentally to another place and time. However, French perfumer Céline Verleure had a much more specific idea of where that place would be when she launched Olfactive Studio. What began as a blog — specifically, the "blog for the fragrance that doesn't (yet) exist" — soon became Verleure's luxurious collection of inspired scents, which now makes its U.S. arrival.
The concept is beyond unique: a collective vision among the seasoned perfumer and her social media following. Yes, we're talking about a crowd-sourced fragrance, people. After Olfactive Studio's Facebook fans weighed in, Verleure called the final shots, assigning one photograph to one perfumer. Each duo then created a scent that they believecaptured the spirit and essence of the still. The process then pulled a complete 360, with the final product, wrapped in beautiful photography-themed packaging — a crowd-sourced selection, as well — placed back into the hands of the photographer who snapped the fragrance one last time. If there were a way to bottle meta, this would be it.
From spicy to deep woodsy notes, light citrus accents to hints of leather, the five unisex Olfactive Studio fragrances each provide a distinct experience. Check out the picture-meets-perfume line ahead, and find them available on this side of the pond at Bergdorf Goodman.

Guangdong native holds at least six Shenzhen-area commercial properties plus other land parcels in what is now the mainland's most prosperous city. Nearby in Zhuhai he owns three commercial buildings. A good reflection of his status is the ranks of entrepreneurs with whom he hobnobs in Shenzhen's government-sponsored Harmony Club, which he cofounded and chairs.
But it's his turn to the greater exposure of Hong Kong that is the news in Chen's story. Before the Peak buy, he invested in 2013 in his first Hong Kong-listed company, China South City Holdings, obtaining a 14% stake, the second largest, in the regional logistics facilitator. Including extra shares in his son's name, he put in HK$2 billion but declined to take a board seat. The company's two founding brothers continue tosuccessful than listed companies, especially in China. Such companies are everywhere," he says.
Under the umbrella of his private Cheung Kei Group, which claims net assets of 20 billion yuan (over $3 billion), Chen has property stakes, a quiet-if-active trading operation in global equities and bonds out of Hong Kong and possible multiple investments in Chinese businesses. FORBES ASIA was able to track holdings of Chen Family Assets Management, founded in 2007 by him and his wife, and determined they include an environmental technology firm in Inner Mongolia, a biotech startup in Shanghai, a mining company in western Hunan, a fish farm in Hubei and a health food manufacturer in Anhui. A Laotian iron-ore mine bought in 2011 was sold in January to a Hong Kong-listed company.

"No one wants to be in a situation where we're hearing about another child being murdered by their parents because DCFS felt [the home] was the most appropriate place for them to be," Moeller said.

My husband was not much of a birthday party fan, but for this little one he agreed.

The mother of the appellant testified that Willie lived at 3411 Michigan Avenue sometimes, but that all of the boys ate their meals at her home at 3421, that she did the washing and ironing for them, and that she kept rooms for all of them at 3421, and she further stated that "I keep their rooms for them is where they really live with me." She also testified that the appellant did quite a bit of sleeping at 3411. The record further shows that the stepfather of the appellantdisapproved of music and parties in the home, and that his stepsons, including the appellant, had parties and music at 3411 Michigan Avenue with the knowledge of their parents.

The only person to witness the accident that killed Australian wildlife expert Steve Irwin opened up for the first time about the final moments of "The Crocodile Hunter."
"He just sort of calmly looked at me and said, 'I'm dying,'" cameraman Justin Lyons recalled Irwin's last words on the Australian television show "Studio 10."
Lyons said that they were about eight days into a shoot for a documentary called "Ocean's Deadliest" in 2006. The day Irwin died, they had been looking for tiger sharks, when they found a massive stingray, Lyons recalled.
According to Lyons, just he and Irwin began shooting the stingray in chest-deep water. After a couple minutes of filming, the two stood up and decided to take one last shot of

Irwin getting behind the animal, while Lyons would film it swimming away.
"All of a sudden, it propped on its front and started stabbing wildly with its tail, hundreds of strikes within a few seconds," Lyons said. "It probably thought Steve's shadow was a tiger shark, which feeds on them very regularly, so it started attacking."
Lyons said he hadn't been aware the stingray caused any damage until he panned the camera back to Irwin, who was standing in a pool of blood. The stingray's barb had gone through Irwin's chest.
"He thought it had punctured his lung, and he stood up and screamed, 'It's punctured me lung!'"
The rest of the team threw Irwin back onto their inflatable boat. While Lyons said he performed CPR on Irwin for over an hour,he said medics later pronounced him dead within 10 seconds of looking at him.
According to Lyons, another cameraman on board filmed the entire experience because they had an agreement with Irwin that if he was ever injured, they had to keep filming. Lyons said he doesn't know what happened to the video, but he never wants it to be seen.
"He was so good with animals. Nothing was going to get him," Lyons said. "We thought he was going to live forever."

the strong urge to merge resurfaced after strong moving speeches from Alonso S. Perales, M. C. Gonzalez and Ben Garza.
Finally, a resolution, as follows, establishing the new organization was drafted:
"WHEREAS, for many months of untiring efforts a group of citizens of the City of Corpus Christi, Nueces County, Texas, and former members of Council number 4 of the Order of the Son of America have struggled along using their best means of friendship and accord to unite into solid and great organization two other organizations (The Knights of America of San Antonio and the League of Latin American Citizens, of the Rio Grande Valley) that by principle were pursuing the same identical ideals.
WHEREAS, this group of members had the only thought in mind to render the best undividedhelp to our brethren throughout the great states of Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California and knowing aforehand that neither one of these organizations alone, single-handed and divided, could render such help, then,
IT IS RESOLVED by this group of citizens of Corpus Christi, and former members of Council number 4, of the Order of the Son of America, to issue a call to all these organizations and to use their best efforts to bring about the merging of the three organizations into one, and on the 17th day of February, A. D. 1929 that long expected reunion was accomplished."
The second order of business was to form an Organizational Committee with delegates from each organization - Juan Solis and Mauro Machado of The Knights of America, E.N. Marin, A.

He had completely forgotten about it by the time fan mail started rolling in.* NonSingingVoice:** Throughout Seasons 1-3, Sweetie Belle's singing voice is provided by Creator/MichelleCreber, who speaks and sings for Apple Bloom. This makes Sweetie Belle's version of "Fluttershy's Lullaby" all the more [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome awesome]] when you learn that Michelle was ''10'' when she sang it.[[note]] It becomes obvious it's Michelle in that song once you notice Sweetie Belle sings with a noticeable twang.

and all Twilight Sparkle toys, seeing as she's voiced toys before.** Princess Luna in the Japanese dub was voiced by Creator/YumiUchiyama in the second episode but was voiced by Creator/TakakoHonda, the voice of Nightmare Moon, in "Luna Eclipsed".** In the Italian dub, Spitfire has three different voice actresses: Debora Morese (Princess Luna and Diamond Tiara) voiced her in "Sonic Rainboom" and "The Best Night Ever", Gea Riva (Silver Spoon, Derpy and Daring Do) took the role in "Hurricane Fluttershy" and Tania De Domenico (Spike) is her current voice since "Wonderbolts Academy".** The Romanian dub seemingly changes everyone's voice actor in between seasons. The only major characters to have not been recast (as of season 6) are Spike and Discord. In Season 4, for example, Spitfire was voiced byplaying [[ShrinkingViolet shy]] and/or {{Moe}} characters like [[Anime/CodeGeass Nunnally]].* PromotedFanboy:** Of the four celebrity guest stars the series has had (see CelebrityVoiceActor above) three became cast members after publicly professing a liking of the show and/or its fandom. In Yankovic's case it took three seasons, but Hall and Oswalt were approached to do episodes seemingly minutes after showing their appreciation. As for de Lancie, he was approached before the fandom was public knowledge and swiftly forgot about the work he'd done for the show, but became an advocate for the fandom after his first episode aired. His upgrade to recurring cast member might qualify all four celebrity guests for this trope.** Brony musician Gabriel Brown is already so prominent in the fan community that he often attends events

The two of them talk to each other as part of the song in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E17HeartsAndHoovesDay "Hearts and Hooves Day"]].[[note]] Although given the technicalities of that song Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom sing in unison several times Michelle probably was not ever switching voices on the fly.[[/note]]** You'd think this wouldn't happen with Creator/TaraStrong since she only voices one character. It happens quite ''literally'' in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E20ItsAboutTime Its About Time]]" when Twilight talks to her future self.** There's also one of the best songs in the show, "This Day Aria", which is [[spoiler:Cadance singing with Chrysalis, who's disguised as Cadance herself.]]** Creator/MasashiEbara humorously voices both Gustave le Grand and [[CrossDressingVoices Mulia Mild]] in the Japanese dub.** Creator/TaraStrong and Creator/AndrewFrancis not only voice Twilight Sparkle and Shining Armor, butrespectively provide the voices of their mom and dad as well for "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E2TheCrystallingPart2 The Crystalling, Part 2]]".* VoicesInOneRoom: The Vancouver-based voice actors typically record together, for both speaking and singing. (note that this leaves out Creator/TaraStrong and Creator/JohnDeLancie, who live in LA and overdub a scratch-track).* WomanOfAThousandVoices: Creator/TabithaStGermain is essentially the Creator/BillyWest of the show. Again she voices Rarity, Princess Luna/Nightmare Moon, Granny Smith, Rarity's mom, Mrs. Cup Cake, Pound Cake, Photo Finish, Derpy Hooves (in the original version, at least), and multiple other background ponies. Even her co-workers often mention in interviews how blown away they are at Tabitha's talent. Tabitha herself was very surprised to hear that her co-workers had such praise for her.** Asami Yoshida and Yumi Uchiyama are essentially the Japanese equivalents of Tabitha

and ''{{Disney/Tarzan}}'', along with Creator/HannaBarbera series like ''WesternAnimation/TheJetsons'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs''.* KeepItForeign: Unlike what happened with the original ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' series, the foreign versions of the show keeps the original MLP logo in English, with only the ''Friendship is Magic'' subtitle translated into the local language, possibly due to Hasbro's request, ''regardless if the viewers, especially the younger ones, can pronounce the name of the show or not''.** There's a good justification for that: In some languages like Spanish, for putting a good example, the name of the franchise was translated as ''Mi Pequeño Pony''. The problem here is, ''Mi Pequeño Pony'' refers to a ''male'' pony, and since all the main cast is ''female'', and since Spanish doesn't have gender-neutral versions for the same name, maybe Hasbro decided touse the original English name not only in Spanish but in many other languages too.** Also happens in the Japanese version, but dealing with the ''honorific titles'': Princess Celestia (and Luna) are addressed in Japanese with their English title "Princess" (プリンセス) rather than "Hime" (姫) or "Queen" (Jou'ou/女王), since in Japanese culture, a princess is rarely portrayed as a ruler, compared with a queen. But, since Hasbro is possibly forcing the Japanese translators to keep the "Princess" title despite this cultural tidbit, maybe they decided to use the English title as a compromise, though it's worth noting that the Japanese website refers to her as "女王・プリンセスセレスティア" (''Jouou [[GratuitousEnglish Princess Celestia]]'', literally "Queen Princess Celestia", with the ''Princess'' title as part of her name in Japanese).* LineToGod:** Creator/LaurenFaust has

aired early in some fashion... and hours after this was discovered, it was ''also'' discovered that episodes 24, 25 and 26 were also to air early - making it two seasons in a row where the season finale has been subject to this - in ''[[SerialEscalation Poland]]''.*** In the end it didn't even matter that Poland would be airing the finale early because it and the two episodes preceding it leaked anyway.* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Thus far actually subverted within the US. Despite originally having a terrible airtime for new episodes the middle of the day on a Friday! on a non-mainstream channel that's only available on upper-tier cable and satellite packages, the show's been doing very well even with its target demographic, and TheHub considered it oneof its A-list shows (moving it to the lucrative Saturday Morning slot for Seasons 2 and 3).\\\With the rebrand of The Hub to Discovery Family in 2014, however, the fifth season got a [[BrokenBase debatable]] treatment of this. There was a nearly-year-long hiatus between the fourth and fifth season, in part because of production for ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks'', and the advertising for episodes was greatly diminished by the fifth season (though it retained its Saturday morning slot). Making matters worse, the season premiere promo ran nonstop ''even after the premiere aired'', leaving many to wonder if someone at Discovery Family was sleeping or not care about his or her job. Consequently, the ratings tanked from last season[[note]]Though fans try to downplay this by pointing out the flaws of Nielsen ratings,

show was first shown on British TV it was put on Boomerang UK. First of all they showed the first thirteen episodes of Season 1 on a endless loop two months after Season 1 ended as a whole in America, one episode a day apart from when they were running marathons of their more usual programming. In January 2012 (When Season 2 was halfway though in America) they then started showing the second half of Season 1 calling it a new season, only for them to stop showing the show entirely after The Best Night Ever. About a year or so later free to view children's channel Pop (Along with sister channels Pop Girl and Tiny Pop) stared airing the show without messing up the episode rotation atrun and ending on the eleventh episode's mid-season hiatus on May 21 while the Discovery Family would not reach this point until June 17. And ''then'', with the US having reached its mid-season hiatus on June 17, June 20 and 21st (which is a Tuesday and a Wednesday of all things) would see Boomerang Australia air the next two episodes, which weren't even thought to be produced, let alone distributed, at the time (hence the need for the mid-season hiatus). The rest of the season has also been subject to early releases and the like (such as "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E17DaringDone Daring Done?]]" being accidentally released on [=YouTube=] a week early instead of that week's episode).** Let's run it down, shall we? Episodes 5 through to 11 aired early in Canada.

Episodes 12 and 13 aired early in Australia. Episode 18 was released accidentally on Youtube. Episode 20 aired early in Russia. Episode 22 was Canada again. Then while episode 22 was airing in the US news broke that the remaining four episodes, 23 to 26, were ''also'' leaked, on top of the fact that the ''movie'' leaked too. That makes 16 of the 26 episodes of the season that were available before they were supposed to be. Whew.* SimilarlyNamedWorks:** ''My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: Adventures in Ponyville'' is the title of both [[http://www.hubworld.com/my-little-pony/shows/friendship-is-magic/games/mlp-adventures-in-ponyville a game]] and a DVD.** ''My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic'' is both the title of the show and the title of a {{Novelization}} of the [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E1MareInTheMoon pilot]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E2ElementsOfHarmony episodes]] of the show.** ''TheMagic of Friendship Storybook'', the book ''The Magic of Frienship'' [[TyopOnTheCover [sic]]] and the ''Sparkle World'' story ''The Magic of Friendship'' have very similar titles (two of which would be exactly the same if not for a TyopOnTheCover of one of them).** The DVD ''Celebration at Canterlot'' and the toy set ''Celebration at Canterlot Castle'' have very similar titles. This was most likely intentional, as they're both part of the Target-exclusive Canterlot set of merchandise.* StargateCity: You can tell the official Equestria map poster was drawn by the Vancouver natives at DHX Media, since its depiction of the city of Vanhoover in the northwestern corner includes the distinctive silhouettes of Harbour Centre and Canada Place.* StarMakingRole: For Lauren Faust, who'd already had a pretty lucrative career in animation

white Celestia toy.** They also made Princess Luna purplish-hued instead of dark blue and black.** Most of the ponies that come with an animal pet don't have the same pets as seen in the show. With the introduction of the Explore Equestria and the Equestria Girls Minis, they now have their pets from the show. Rainbow Dash comes with Tank in an Explore Equestria set, and all of the Equestria Girls Minis Slumber Party dolls have the pets from the show. For some reason, Rainbow Dash is surprisingly missing from the EG Minis Slumber Party line, but she was able to get her pet. Owlowiscious, however, did not get a toy, but he was included in the Nightmare Night wave of the Friendship is Magic Collection with Twilight'sthey are in the show.*** Among the Blind Bag ponies are several recolors that actually resemble some background ponies in the show, starting with Flower Wishes (called Daisy in the show) Roseluck (called Rose in the show), and Lemon Hearts. As an amusing side note, Fluttershy, Cheerilee, and Trixie Lulamoon are [[YouDontLookLikeYou demoted to Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Rarity recolors]]! Though, at least Fluttershy is finally set to get her own mold, in a set based on the pilot. With the introduction of the "Friendship is Magic Collection," however these mistakes are becoming more rare since all of the characters have their own molds.** Relatively minor, but one of the first things most fans of the show do after purchasing Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash or Applejack toys is

For instance, Derpy Hooves has been officially canonized, being included in episode storyboards as a ''Where's Waldo''-style challenge in season 1 ("Derpy" is even her canon name according to some Season 2 concept art) and getting lines, a ditzy personality and even being called "Derpy" by Rainbow Dash in S2's ''The Last Roundup''.** In a larger sense, the entire ''Friendship is Magic'' series is an ascension of the fanon Lauren Faust created for her Franchise/MyLittlePony toys when she played with them as a child.** While it's unknown if it was intended to be so before the fandom reaction, Luna's characterization as TheAtoner seeking to make up for her actions as Nightmare Moon was probably one of the most common fanon interpretations of her character.** Derpy Hooves' name andpersonality, all extrapolated from an animation glitch in the first episode.** Ever since the Pegasus Derpy became the unofficial mother of the Unicorn Dinky (in fanon), fans tried to explain how that's possible; theories ranged from the father being a Unicorn to it being in their DNA complete with detailed Punnet Squares to justify it. "Baby Cakes" revealed that the Cakes' new baby twin foals, [[spoiler:Unicorn and a Pegasus]], got those traits from their parents' other family members.---> '''Mr. Cake''': [[ChocolateBaby That makes sense, right?]]** As of "Magic Duel", Alicorn is a canon term for a WingedUnicorn.

nothing more. Pony fans began using the incorrect term probably due to RuleOfCool. Though an argument can easily be made that "alicorn" as synonym for "WingedUnicorn" is a corruption of the French words for wing ("aile") and horn ("cor" or "corne").[[/note]]*** As of "Magical Mystery Cure," the term is now undeniable, as Rarity refers to Twilight as an alicorn.*** Lauren herself had previously used the term in interviews.** AllThereInTheScript names from the toy line include [[FanNickname Cherry]] Berry, [[FanNickname Lotus Blossom]], [[FanNickname Lyra]] Heartstrings, and Sunny [[FanNickname Rays]]. Of course, most of the ascended {{Fan Nickname}}s are generic enough that they could just be cases of IKnewIt, and the name "Cherry Berry" had previously been used as the British name of the G1 pony Crunch Berry.*** The sameMagic Part 2 was christened [[OneSteveLimit Steven Magnet]] by the fans. Two years later, Hasbro releases toys of the sea serpent and the manticore from the same episode, naming them officially. The manticore was named Manny Roar, and guess what the sea serpent was named.** A number of fanon names for background characters have ascended thanks to the Enterplay trading cards, Gameloft video game, and toys.

Professor Pant said that India "was cognizant of the risks" when conducting Tuesday's air raid over its neighbor's territory. Pakistani-based jihadist group Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) has stepped up attacks across the border in recent years, including a convoy bombing two week ago, which killed 44 Indian police officers.
"The feeling in India after being struck every single year and month with terrorism is 'enough is enough,'" he said.

Inquiry into Russia investigation gets the OK for more subpoenas
Christal Hayes | USA TODAY
Buzz60
WASHINGTON – In a stunning interview on CNN Wednesday evening, President Donald Trump's attorney, Rudy Giuliani, said there may have been "collusion" between members of the Trump campaign and Russia – but the president wasn't involved.
"I never said there was no collusion between the campaign. Or between people in the campaign," Giuliani told CNN host Chris Cuomo while live on air. "I have no idea."
Cuomo challenged the claim from Giuliani, who has frequently argued there was no collusion with the Russians during the 2016 presidential campaign. Cuomo also argued that it isn't just about Trump's actions but whether he knew or allowed members of his campaign to work with a foreign country to disrupt Americanpolitics.
Giuliani said that he was sure the president never colluded with the Russians. He added that Trump has also never claimed that no one in his campaign was guilty of colluding with the Kremlin.
"He said he didn't. He didn't say nobody," Giuliani said of Trump's past remarks. "How would you know that nobody in your campaign [did]?"

A 49-year-old male, who had end-stage renal failure and was receiving chronic haemodialysis twice weekly, was admitted to the Princess Margaret Hospital on April 6, 2003, because of fever, chills, rigors and cough for 1 day. He also had myalgia, malaise, anorexia, headache and dizziness ([Table 1](#TBL1)). He had a history of contact with SARS patients. From March 31 to April 2, 2003, he was hospitalized in a medical ward of the Alice Ho Miu Ling Nethersole Hospital, where there was an outbreak of SARS, for haemophilus influenzae pneumonia. Four days after discharge from that hospital (day 1), he began to run a fever and was admitted into the Princess MargaretProfile of Subhrangshu Supakar

Then instead of more oil I sprayed the pan with Pam and added the eggs and potato-onion mixture (I pre-mixed them in the bowl and the heat of the potato-onion mixture started cooking the eggs which was kind of cool!) and cooked it on one side. It held together well when I (well, OK, The Pedant) flipped it and it was fairly evenly brown. The other side was also fairly brown, but fell apart when I tried to put it on a plate.

The War of the Roses was a war between 1455 and 1487 fought by the Lancastrians (Henry III {Not related to Henry VI}) and the Yorks (Henry VI) fighting for the English throne. It was a very interesting war because there were so many powerful people taking over all the time. The reason it was eventually called The War of the Roses is that the symbols of either side was a rose, White for York and red for Lancaster.
Therefore, since Henry VI was the current leader of the Yorks when the war started, it did not start good for the Yorks. The reason being because Henry VI was a poor military leader, why he was a poor leader is because

“Coming from a European background… where many Jews reject a brit milah as an archaic and barbaric ritual… This author grew up in France in a traditional Jewish family. Not a single male of her generation or her children’s generation within her large family (or in her circle of Jewish friends) was ever circumcised.”
- Nelly Karsenty, Humanistic Judaism, 1988.
"Circumcision is child abuse...It is a poor way to introduce a newborn male into the world and into the Jewish community. This presentation will focus on my experience as an active Jew living in an observant Jewish community in Brooklyn, New York, who chose not to have his son circumcised. I will present the brit (literally "covenant") b'leeparents in the Tel Aviv area who decided not to circumcise their sons. The community is not a formal organization and includes only parents with intact sons.

Kurt Russell Biography
One of the most iconic action stars of all time, Kurt Russell (born March 17th, 1951) is among the few to make the successful transition from child star to successful adult actor. As a youth, Russell aspired to follow the footsteps of his father, [[Performer~P62198~Bing Russell~bingrussell]], who, in addition to being a big league baseball player, was also an actor (he was perhaps best known for his role as the sheriff on the TV Western [[Feature~V132988~Bonanza~bonanza[tvseries]]]). That his heroes [[Performer~P45210~Mickey Mantle~mickeymantle]] and [[Performer~P45529~Roger Maris~rogermaris]] did the same thing only strengthened Russell's resolve to have both a baseball and acting career.He first broke into acting on television, starring in the series The Travels of Jamie McPheeters, and he made his film debut playing the boy who kicksshoulder injury permanently changed his plans.
After ending his association with Disney, Russell disappeared from features for a few years. He appeared in a few television movies, most notably playing the title role in [[Feature~V15677~Elvis~elvis]], [[Performer~P84225~John Carpenter~johncarpenter]]'s made-for-television biopic. His next role as a sleazy used car salesman in Robert Zemeckis' hilariously caustic [[Feature~V52046~Used Cars~usedcars]] (1980) allowed him to counter his wholesome, all-American nice guy image, and prove that he was an actor of untapped range. Director Carpenter recognized this and cast Russell as ruthless mercenary Snake Plissken in his brooding sci-fi/action film Escape From New York (1981). The role would prove to be one of legendary status, and one that would cement Russell as a cult hero for generations to come. Carpenter also cast Russell as a scientist

Giuffre, who has accused Mr Epstein of using her as a "sex slave", told The New York Times she was grateful that Mr Epstein would not be able to hurt anyone else.
Ms Giuffre, who now lives in Queensland, said she was angry that he would not face the courts after their years of struggle to be heard.
"We've worked so hard to get here, and he stole that from us, too," she told The New York Times.
On Friday, more than 2,000 pages of documents were released related to a since-settled defamation lawsuit against Mr Epstein's ex-girlfriend by Ms Giuffre.
Michelle Licata said she wanted Mr Epstein to be held accountable for his actions. ( Reuters: Shannon Stapleton )
The records contain graphic allegations against Mr Epstein, as well as the transcriptof a 2016 deposition of Mr Epstein in which he repeatedly refused to answer questions to avoid incriminating himself.
Sigrid McCawley, Ms Giuffre's lawyer, said Mr Epstein's suicide less than 24 hours after the documents were unsealed "is no coincidence."
Ms McCawley urged authorities to continue their investigation, focusing on Mr Epstein associates who she said "participated and facilitated [Mr] Epstein's horrifying sex trafficking scheme."
The mother of alleged victim Courtney Wild (pictured) questioned how Mr Epstein was allowed to take his life. ( Reuters: Mike Segar )
Another accuser Michelle Licata, who met Mr Epstein when she was 16 and in high school in Florida, said she did not wish him dead.
"I just wanted him to be held accountable for his actions. Simple as that," she said.

His talk, centered on Howser, his longtime friend and television personality, proved so popular with local history buffs that Fuerte was invited back this year.
Fuerte, a five-time Emmy winner, discussed his book, ‘Louie, Take a Look at This! My time with Huell Howser,’ which detailed his time working with Howser for KCET in Los Angeles.

end of the last glacial period," says Michael Haslam at the University of Oxford in the UK, and leader of the Primate Archaeology (Primarch) project.
Now for the first time, archaeologists have excavated tools they used about 50 years ago.
"We are particularly interested in the comparison between what the monkeys are doing and what's has been argued for modern humans outside of South Africa," says Haslam.
The monkeys forage for shellfish in unpredictable tidal situations, in the same way that early humans may have done. Eating shellfish could also have accelerated cognitive development, says Haslam. "There's been a lot of focus for decades on the kind of nutrients that seafood can provide for the brain."
Finding old stone tools means researchers can now identify and reconstruct past behaviour. They hope tovery seriously," says Dr. Phil. "I don't think we're doing eight-minute cures up here. We're giving people wake-up calls ... I weigh very carefully everything I say because there are millions of people watching, and some of them are going to act on some of the things I say."

NGOs get capacity boosters to serve society better
Updated on : Jul 03,2016 11:08 am
New Delhi, July 3 (IANS) In 2005 Shafiq-ur-Rahman Khan launched Empower People, a group that rescues girls, mostly young brides, from trafficking. Now present in eight states with its 17,000 members the group has helped rescue over 5,000 girls in 11 years.
Empower People, sustained by private donations, strives for financial transparency in running its operations. With the help of Charities Aid Foundation India (CAF India), it has embarked on a major capacity-enhancement exercise that it said would, in the long run, help it "empower" girls.
"We had heard about CAF India as it is a prominent group that helps NGOs to build their capacities. We had regular workshops with them for one year. And in thiscapacities through intensive workshops on issues like governance, digital fundraising, accountability and CSR laws, Batra said.
Gayatri Subramaniam, Chief Programme Executive and Convener of the National Foundation of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in the Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA), said that NGOs need to foster good relations with corporates by incorporating proper mechanisms and expertise.
"Their strengths must be integrated to create multiplier effect to their projects in order to ensure maximum impact. The need of the time is to carve and develop a new relationship for the best results. Capacity-building of NGOs is definitely the need of the hour," she said.

to cursor movements. There was no time limit for any of the reaching tasks, and participants were instructed to reach at their own preferred speed. In addition, participants were not constrained to reach the targets in a single movement.
At the beginning of the experimental session, the reach length of participants' arms was recorded by the robot. This measurement, with assistance from the research team, was taken from the anatomical landmarks of participants' ipsilateral hip to their knee. This length was employed to guarantee that all participants could reach to this distance, as in previous robotic rehabilitation studies \[[@CR29], [@CR30]\]. All targets locations were scaled to each participant's reach length to ensure consistency between participants. The starting position before reaching to any target was always the same, close toon the .375 H&H belted case in the 1940s.
The short-fat cartridge craze started in the 1970s with the .22 and 6mm PPC benchrest cartridges based on the .220 Russian, which was itself a shortened version of the 7x39 AK-47 round. The PPCs set accuracy records and soon became commercially available. This may have inspired the strong line of proprietary Dakota cartridges based on the fat .404 Jeffery case, and those in turn may have led to the .300 WSM and its derivatives, the .300 RSAUM and its family and finally the Winchester Super Short Magnums, all of which appeared after 2000.
New as they seem, most were created as wildcats long ago. The 7mm WSM is nearly identical to an old wildcat called the 7mm Gradle Express. In fact,

of admixture dates that overlap with the Mongol expansion period.
Finally, our IBD sharing analysis suggested that the SSM area is the source of recent gene flow. This area is one of the hypothesized homelands for Turkic peoples and linguistically related Mongols. While the presence of the Mongol empire over this territory is well recorded, historical sources alone are insufficient to unambiguously associate this area with the Turkic homeland for several reasons: some of the Turkic groups speaking the Oghuric branch of Turkic were attested westerly in the Pontic-Caspian steppes in the mid-late 5th century CE. This is geographically distant from the SSM area, and temporarily much earlier than the Göktürk Empire was established in the SSM area. Thus, our study provides the first genetic evidence supporting one ofof the Kipchak-Karluk branch and their admixture ages postdate the presumed migrations of the ancestral Kipchak Turks from the Irtysh and Ob regions in the 11th century \[[@pgen.1005068.ref037]\]. There are exceptions, like the Balkars, Kumyks, and Nogais in Northern Caucasus, who showed either earlier dates of admixture (8th century) or much later admixture between the 15th century (Kumyks) and 17th century (Nogais).
Chuvashes, the only extant Oghur speakers showed an older admixture date (9th century) than their Kipchak-speaking neighbors in the Volga region.
