She always went back to check when she found him passed out but this time the second or third time she checked him she noticed his breathing was shallow and called the EMT. The doctor on staff reprimanded her for not bring him in sooner. Weeping over the loss of her son, blame was the last thing she needed.
A little boy I babysat for grew up to have severe mental illness and tried over and over to off himself. I wondered to someone, why isn't the fact that it hurts his mom, his sons, enough to change that? I can't understand the answerHiram A. Imus Jr.

to leave their homes and smuggle their way across borders to get to Europe. And Her Name Mother of Exile II (Alsaeed Family) is comprised of images of the family during their days in the Kara Tepe facility camp.
And Her Name Mother of Exile III (Arrivals) is the Last part of the triptych series, it consists of images of refugees at the very moment of their arrival on the island intertwined with images of refugees, volunteers, locals and the Mayor of Lesvos
It is an attempt to familiarize the spectator with what a day looks like at the refugee camps in Lesvos and how many people are needed to manage the iceberg’s tip of this humanitarian crisis.Littlejohn's guilty plea was not informed by knowledge of section 862a's consequences, under these circumstances we are persuaded from the record that the outcome would not have been different had he been aware of section 862a's impact at the time he entered his plea. We reach this conclusion through more than just simple speculation.

The loss of benefits first became identified as an issue in Littlejohn's case when the topic was raised in the PSR. We assume that his attorney read the PSR before sentencing. Littlejohn filed no objection, nor did he even broach the issue with the court. The issue did not arise until the district court itself raised it during the sentencing hearing. Littlejohn's silence and his disinterest when the benefits issue did arise is strong evidence

Abuse of Prescription Painkillers on the Rise Among High School Athletes
Abuse of prescription painkillers is on the rise among high school athletes, and football players are among the worst offenders, a new study shows.
The finding was published online recently in the Journal of Child & Adolescent Substance Abuse.
"I've studied the use of performance-enhancing substances in sports for about 15 years, and this study extended that line of research to mind-altering substances," study author Bryan Denham, of Clemson University in South Carolina, said in a journal news release.
"Alcohol has always been available, as has marijuana, but young people also may look to stronger drugs for euphoric effects," Denham said. "If prescription pain relievers are overprescribed in certain regions, their use may trickle down to adolescents. Useof narcotic pain relievers may become a habit with some adolescent athletes."The researchers analyzed the responses of nearly 2,300 high school seniors who participated in a 2009 survey, sponsored by the U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse.
The students' gender, race and participation in school sports were recorded. Boys who participated in baseball, basketball, football, soccer, swimming and diving, and track and field were interviewed. Girls who participated in softball, basketball, soccer, volleyball, swimming and diving, and track and field were also included in the study.
Generally, the student athletes used illegal substances more often than their peers who did not play sports, the study showed. Overall, substance abuse was more common among boys than girls. Football players, the researchers noted, used the most illegal drugs.
After considering the students' race,

hope when Horden’s Witte was shown a straight red card for dissent with 15 minutes to go. Geehan kicked the penalty and put Sunderland back within seven points.
The sending off seemed to inspire Horden, though, and they kicked a penalty almost immediately afterwards to recapture their seven-point advantage.
The game and bonus point for Horden was wrapped up when another breakaway try ended Sunderland’s hopes.
Good hands in the three-quarters put Purvis away. He was stopped just short after a good break but Raine was on hand to nip over in the corner.
It was a bad day all round for Sunderland as the seconds lost out 57-19 to a strong Mowden Park side. Adam Reay, Ben Gallimore and Jonny Parker scored tries with Gavin adding two conversions.
Sunderland thirds lost outfaster than Canberra anticipated, with reports Treasury is scrambling to recast its forecasts for the mid-year update.
The latest ABS data, the June quarter national accounts, showed a 7.9 per cent seasonally adjusted decline in the terms of trade from a year earlier, with a 4.1 per cent drop from March. It's only deteriorated since.
According to Stephen Anthony, a director of consultancy firm Macroeconomics, that could slice at least $5 billion directly from budget revenue.
Then there is the question of West Australia. The state that should boast the nation's most robust finances is an economic shambles. It has just lost its AAA credit rating and is staring down the barrel of a massive decline in revenue from iron ore royalties.
According to its most recent budget papers, WA has budgeted

The high fatality rate among Mexican victims – compared with the muchless severe effects of the virus in other countries – was being blamedlargely on initial delays in seeking treatment and on possiblecomplications from misdiagnosis and inappropriate medicine.
Some of these factors appear to have been present in the death ofAdela Maria Gutierrez, who fell ill at the beginning of April. Shetreated herself with aspirin and waited three days to see a doctor whothen gave her antibiotics for a sore throat.
She was reluctant to leave work to go to hospital – where, it laterturned out, there were Easter-related staff shortages and no availablerespirator. By the time specialists realised she might have a rareform of flu, it was too late to save her.

unlawfully killing a protected estuarine crocodile.
WA Today revealed in December that several bullets were pulled from the crocodile's body during a post-mortem examination, and given to the rural Major and Organised Crime Squad to assist their investigation.
Detectives will allege that a search of Mr Orchard's property turned up 'two Marlin 336 lever action 30-30 calibre rifles, a quantity of ammunition and a number of electronic devices'.
Queensland Department of Environment and Science operations director Michael said they take wildlife crime very seriously.
He also emphasised that estuarine crocodiles have been protected under the Nature Conservation Act since 1992, and that it is illegal in Queensland to kill them.
The 31-year-old suspect will front court in January and faces a maximum fine of over $28,000
The body of the huge reptile washed upredemptive love of Jesus, the ushering in of new heavens and new earth. God sustains the world, but God’s creatures do their part in caring for it as well.
But does the church have anything more profound to say about the value of work? Princeton scholar David Miller explores this question in his 2006 book God at Work: The History and Promise of the Faith at Work Movement. As Miller explains, the 1980s saw an explosion of books, magazines, conferences, networks, and organizations focused on putting the two halves of life together: worship and “the other 100,000 hours.”
Significantly, these efforts have been almost entirely led by lay people. Evidence of churches, denominations, or theological educators helping the laity see work as a daily calling is still thin on the

In information theory, the information content, self-information, surprisal, or Shannon information is a basic quantity derived from the probability of a particular event occurring from a random variable. It can be thought of as an alternative way of expressing probability, much like odds or log-odds, but which has particular mathematical advantages in the setting of information theory.
The Shannon information can be interpreted as quantifying the level of "surprise" of a particular outcome. As it is such a basic quantity, it also appears in several other settings, such as the length of a message needed to transmit the event given an optimal source coding of the random variable.
The Shannon information is closely related to information theoretic entropy, which is the expected value of the self-information of a random

The organization said Noe and Isabel Aleman were granted unconditional adoption of Saida, Yessica andAzucena, Mrs. Aleman's nieces, in the El Paso courtroom of Judge Patricia Macias on April 12, 2004, and the couple picked up the children at the El Paso Port of Entry with Juarez, took them home and enrolled them in school.
When following up on some later paperwork, Aleman was surprised to see the children had been allowed into the United States on a document allowing only one business day, instead of the standard 90-day allowance.

But when the Alemans later were told their visa had been approved, Aleman was arrested when he arrived to pick it up and charged with harboring illegal aliens, and their three daughters were taken into custody by the government, later to be deported...

Starmourn
Producer: Ioan Sima
Ioan started playing Achaea in 2008by accident while looking for a text adventure to pass boring hours at work. A couple of years later, again by accident, he was dragged into Midkemia Online where he would stay until the end of its days, first as a player then as a volunteer. After that one closed down, Ioan didn't find a proper MUD home until Starmourn came around, when he joined the team as its Producer. He is from Romania and has worked as a game programmer and designer before Iron Realms, both as an employee and as a freelancer, and tries to bring that knowledge to Starmourn.

She spent two years developing Starmourn from a fledgling world into what it is today, writing and scripting just about everything - there isn't a single facet of the game that doesn't have her creative touch on it somehow.

The name may sound strange but any clowns one may encounter in Grand Circus Park are purely coincidental. Grand Circus is a semi-circular park in Downtown Detroit that was created as a part of a planned (then abandoned) city-wide network of hub and spoke style roads. In 1865 George Armstrong Custer delivered a eulogy for Abraham Lincoln there and now the park is home to the Russell Alger Fountain, which was designed by Henry Bacon with the statue sculpted by Daniel French, who both did the same for the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. The park is adjacent to many of downtown’s most important buildings including the David Whitney Building, David Broderick Tower, Central United Methodist Church,

advantage of the fact that a longitudinal study of the 'health and values' of the New Zealanders was already underway when the quake struck, and the survey included questionnaires about religious beliefs.They found that, compared to before the event, residents of the affected Canterbury region were more likely to report becoming religious (8.6%) than of losing their faith (5.3%); in the rest of the country religion declined from 2009 to 2011, so the earthquake-hit area was exceptional.The authors say:Philosophers have plausibly argued that natural disasters such as the Christchurch earthquake are rationally incompatible with the existence of an all-powerful, all-loving God, because natural disasters cause pointless suffering to innocents... though faith eroded elsewhere in New Zealand, there was a significant upturn in religious faith among those who experiencedYoshiko Okino

Woodbridge, Ont.-based Amanda-Lina's Sposa Boutique did just that for Perdue.
"Our store sympathized with the situation," said president Sam Pollari.
The host of Say Yes To The Dress Canada reality TV show doesn't carry Alfred Angelo, but that didn't stop Pollari from rushing to save the day.
During the consultation, Perdue tried on about three dresses before falling in love with a sparkly ivory ball gown and matching cape from Calla Blanche's fall 2017 collection, which isn't in store yet.
Three hours later, Amanda-Lina's received confirmation from Calla Blanche that the dress would arrive the week of August 21, while her cape would come infive days before her wedding.
"Everyone was excited," Pollari said. "Hallelujah!"
Perdue said she is "mesmerized" by her new dress from Amanda-Lina's, which made her cry a little, but they were tears of joy this time.

Spatial and temporal patterns in the Pelagibacteraceae across an estuarine gradient.
Marine bacterial communities show strong spatial and seasonal patterns, often characterized by changes at high taxonomic levels. The Pelagibacteraceae are common members of bacterial communities, with well-documented biogeography at the subclade level. To identify patterns within the subclades, the abundance and diversity of Pelagibacteraceae were analyzed over a two-year period at four stations across an estuarine gradient. Pelagibacteraceae was the most abundant bacterial family, averaging 27% of the community, but varying from 1% to 57% in any one sample. Highest abundances were detected in autumn and winter. Pelagibacteraceae richness was lowest at the most inshore site, and highest in autumn and winter at all sites. Shannon diversity decreased in winter, when a few OTUs dominated the community. Dissolvedfirst eleven volumes; however copyrights for the last five volumes were not registered until February 1984.
Fitzgerald Publishing has employed various printers to produce the Golden Legacy series. Defendant WCP printed the series from 1974 to 1980. A dispute over the quality of a printing job ended their business relationship in 1980. When Fitzgerald refused to pay the approximately $8000 printing bill from the disputed job, WCP retained possession of the Golden Legacy printing plates.
Soon afterward, Baylor contacted Bertram Fitzgerald and sought to reprint the Golden Legacy series. The two men negotiated terms sporadically from March 1982 to January 28, 1983, when Baylor and Fitzgerald entered into a contract. Under its terms, Baylor agreed, in return for receiving approximately 100,000 sets, to provide the "finances, materials, and labor" to

documentary evidence at the original trial, which the Court has also considered. Defendant WCP did not call any witnesses and relies solely on its cross-examination of plaintiff's witnesses and its evidence at the original trial. Accordingly, the Court makes the following findings of fact and conclusions of law.
Findings of Fact
1. Daina Bennett became employed by defendant Bill Baylor in May 1984 as a marketing sales representative in charge of marketing Golden Legacy. At that time, Baylor took her to a warehouse in Kent, Washington, where she saw three stalls, each about the size of a trailer, which were each half-filled with copies of Golden Legacy. Baylor told her that the stalls were full when he first received inventory and showed her a series of purchase orders from WCPsets of Golden Legacy to Bennett's garage. 3000 sets were sold from her garage, but she could not testify concerning the revenue produced by these sales. It cannot be assumed that Baylor received the one dollar ($1) price on the magazine covers because Baylor apparently sold most of his copies at heavy discounts off the cover price.
4. Soon afterward, Bennett left Baylor's employ and refused to return 1000 sets of Golden Legacy remaining in her garage, because Baylor would not pay her commissions on previous sales of Golden Legacy. In December 1985 Bennett began to solicit orders for Golden Legacy on behalf of Bertram Fitzgerald, the plaintiff, and continues in this capacity to date. Bennett did not destroy these infringing copies of Golden Legacy in her garage, despite

general partnerships and members in two real estate investment LLCs (collectively, the "investment vehicles"). Appellees are Jack Kay ("Mr. Kay"), the managing member of one of the LLCs, and the de facto managing member or partner of the other investment vehicles; Kay Management Company, Inc. ("Kay Management"), an entity, owned and controlled entirely by Mr. Kay and of which Mr. Kay is president; and Kay Investment Group, LLC ("Kay Investment"), a separate investment entity managed and controlled solely by Mr. Kay.
On July 16, 2009, appellants filed a complaint (individually and on behalf of the investment vehicles) against appellees in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County. The complaint alleged principally that, beginning in 2003, Mr. Kay unilaterally and unlawfully took money from the investment vehicles and, mostly through Kaytheir brief. On October 12, 2010, appellants filed a reply brief, which contained a provision from one of the investment vehicles' operating agreements. On November 12, 2010, appellees moved to strike that provision from appellants' reply brief, arguing that the provision appears nowhere in the record, and was, in any case, mischaracterized by appellants. Alternatively, appellees requested this Court to take judicial notice of two of the investment vehicles' operating agreements, which were attached to the motion as exhibits. On November 23, 2010, appellants responded to appellees' motion to strike, conceding that they "do not object to either remedy," but arguing that appellees, rather than appellants, misconstrued the provision. Appellees filed a reply to appellants' response on December 3, 2010, arguing, among other things, that appellants' interpretation of

those entities by causing their funds to be placed in Kay Investment.
In Count V, appellants claimed that Mr. Kay alone engaged in tortious interference with the contractual relationship between Kay Management and the investment vehicles whose funds it managed by inducing Kay Management to breach its contracts with each investment vehicle.
Count VI was against Mr. Kay alone for breach of the investment vehicles' partnership agreements and operating agreements. Essentially, appellants alleged that investment of the reserve funds with Madoff was contrary to the agreements governing the investment vehicles, the alleged provisions of which are detailed above.
Count VII, also against Mr. Kay alone, was for breach of the Kay Investment operating agreement. Among other things, appellants alleged that (1) Mr. Kay, as sole managing member of Kay Investment, washave been successful because the operating agreement of Kaywood requires at least 70% of the interests in Kaywood in order to override Mr. Kay's decisions, and because Mr. Kay, his family and affiliates own more than 30% of the interests in Kaywood. Next, appellants pointed to a new exhibit A, a chart of the investors' relations to Mr. Kay. Appellants described the chart as follows:
a. The first five partners and members on Exhibit A are defendant Kay (individually or as trustee) and his daughter (individually or as trustee or representative). There is no division between defendant Kay and his daughter.
b. The next seven partners and members on Exhibit A are defendant Kay's sister (Silvia K. Greenberg) and her immediate family, known herein as the Greenberg Family Members. The

The identity of the creator of bitcoin is open to debate.
REUTERS/Christian Hartmann
On Wednesday, Gizmodo and Wired published twin bombshell reports alleging they had identified the inventor of bitcoin.
Known only by the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, his/her/their identity has long been a mystery. Multiple news outlets have tried to "out" Satoshi before, but none conclusively.
The most high-profile — and notorious — report came from Newsweek, which claimed the inventor was Dorian Nakamoto, a reclusive Japanese-American man living in California. The story was subsequently widely dismissed as inaccurate.
So who's the latest candidate? It's a man called Craig Steven White, an Australian businessman and his dead friend, an American called David Kleiman.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent a letter of condolences to Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi following the death of his sister, Fatima, who passed away earlier Monday after losing a long battle with cancer.
Egyptian media reported that Morsi arrived via helicopter to a stadium at A-Zagazig University to attend her funeral. The funeral took place at the Al Sharqia district, where the president was born. (Attila Somfalvi and Itamar Eichner)of Medicine at UT Health San Antonio, said the school has long had a close relationship with the Texas Biomedical Research Institute.
In collaboration with UT Health — and as part of its expansion — the institute also will house the largest marmoset colony in the country for research on aging and infectious diseases. Marmoset are small monkeys that live in South American rainforests.
Texas Biomed keeps more than 2,400 monkeys and 96 retired chimpanzees on site as part of the Southwest National Primate Research Center, one of seven such facilities in the country.
Ricardo Carrion Jr., who runs the high-containment lab, said scientists and veterinarians test promising therapeutics on nonhuman primates, looking at whether there’s a strong enough case to ask the federal government to allow clinical trials in humans.

Working toward a future where people and planet are valued, and our government represents all of us
Colonialism, Capitalism, and Conquest Versus Connectedness
by GPPA Co-chair Alan Smith
My great grandfather, James, built a house for our family and white supremacists bombed it. He died from the injuries he suffered. He was Cherokee. His wife's mother was Lumbee, and lived enslaved on a North Carolina plantation.
She was raped by the white slave master and birthed the child that would later marry James. Emma Nora and James had 12 children, one of them was my grandfather. I have spent 5 summers living and learning among the Lakota. I share this information to reveal connections. In my Earth Day message back in April I shared a phrase in Lakota. "Mitakuye Oyasin." It means,devastating the Earth with the result of our disconnectedness. Let's allow the sunlight to shine through us and create rainbows everywhere we go. Let's be Green!

So, I ditched Amanda and Nate (he was suspended from her class because he won't take his glove off) and went there. I sat in the back and worked on algebra and watched people complain how much they hate Mrs. Slade.
Bell rang (Thank God!) and I left and went next-door to Mrs. Smith's room. Sat down at my desk and started reading the first of the Mercy books. Then, once everyone was there, Mrs. Smith said that we would be talking about the career assignment that we did a few weeks ago. That went on for about forty-five minutes.

An Afghan mother, enraged by the Taliban’s fatal shooting of her policeman son, has allegedly helped to kill 25 militants. She rushed to a police outpost near her home upon hearing gunfire, before her adrenalin took over and she “began to shoot back.”
The incident happened early in the morning on November 17 in the Balabolok district, in the Farah province of western Afghanistan, near the border with Iran.
"It was around 5am when my son's check post came under the attack of Taliban," the mother, Reza Gul, told Afghan television network, TOLOnews. "When the fighting intensified, I couldn't stop myself and picked up a weapon, went to the check post and began shooting back."
Her maternal instincts took over after seeing her son Safiullah lying dead in front of hereyes, after a gun battle with the Taliban. However, she was not acting alone: a number of family members, including her husband, daughter and youngest son, rushed along to help and provided her with ammunition.
"The fighting intensified when we reached the battlefield along with light and heavy weapons," said Reza Gul’s daughter-in-law, Seema, according to TOLOnews. "We were committed to fight until the last bullet." She added that the intense fighting lasted a number of hours, with 25 militants left dead and others wounded.
Reza Gul’s daughter Fatima says, “We started a kind of family war against the Taliban.” She added that she helped to prepare bullets for her mother and father to fight off the militant organization. Reza Gul’s husband Abdul Satar said they were prepared to sacrifice

"My young son who was a police officer was killed in front of my eyes," Abdul Satar said, as reported by TOLOnews. "I pulled aside his dead body and started fighting to defend my soil to prove that this is the soil of Malalai, the hero. I was committed to give up my life, but not my son's check post."
He was referring to Malalai of Maiwand, an Afghan folk hero who allegedly helped to defeat the British in the second Anglo-Afghan war in 1880.

Strikes of Lightning can make human skin "tattooed"?
What
happens when lightning struck us? A number of reports indicate that
lightning can trigger the formation of "tattoo" on human skin. This is
rare. One case that ever happened to a man aged 54 years, as reported in
the New England Journal of Medicine.
Leaf veins similar pattern on the arms of Winston Kemp who struck by lightning in 2011.(Picture from:http://bit.ly/1l61wf2)
The
man who was struck by lightning was initially in shock and entered the
emergency room. Once out, he notices a pattern of leaf veins on the
arms, back, and legs. The sign was gone after two days.
Are
like IFLScience.com reported by the site on Tuesday, June 3, 2014, the
pattern of leaf veins were formed due to capillary damage due to
electricity from lightning.
The
patternof leaf veins formed by lightning often called lightning
flowers or skin feathering. In medical terms, the pattern is called
aborescent erythema or keraunographic sign.
The emergence of leaf vein pattern from lightning strikes also been found in Winston Kemp. He was struck by lightning in 2011.
Kemp
initially unaware that he was struck by lightning. Until an hour later
when it went into the room, he notices a pattern leaf veins in his arms.
That pattern continues to thin out over time, but last up to one month.
The pattern of leaf veins are found in human skin by lightning often also called "Lichtenberg".
The
term is based on the experimental results of the German physicist,
Georg Lichtenberg, in 1777. He skipped high voltage power on a flat
surface or on the insulator. Similar pattern was generated leaf veins.

The latest fallout from the disappearance and presumptive murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi could see the Saudis losing their main source of arms. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) says he intends to force a vote on blocking further US arms sales to the Saudi kingdom.
Sen. Paul announced the plan on a local radio show, saying he hopes to force a vote in the Senate by the end of the week which would force a full halt to US arms shipments if there is “any indication” the Saudis are behind killing Khashoggi.
The fate of the journalist, who has been critical of the Saudi crown prince, has been a subject of speculation over the past week, after he entered the Saudi consulate in Istanbul and was never seen again. HisIntroduction

Japan has achieved one of the longest lifespans in the world; in 2016, the average life expectancy was 87.14 years for women and 80.98 years for men (Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare 2017). The Japanese government is now trying to extend the "healthy" life expectancy, in which people can live healthy lives without support. The Japanese healthy life expectancy in 2016 was estimated to be 74.79 years for women and 72.14 years for men (Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare 2017). Three major causes of disruption of the healthy lives of Japanese people are (1) dementia, (2) cerebrovascular diseases, and (3) diseases of locomotive organs, including bone fractures and arthropathies (Comprehensive Survey of Living Conditions of 2016, Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare).

The other four states in the top 10 — Illinois, Maryland, Texas and Ohio — add another 15 percent. The three most Jewish metropolitan areas are New York, South Florida and Los Angeles.
Among Jewish denominations, the Reform movement remains the largest: 35 percent of respondents identified as Reform, according to the Pew study. The second-largest group is Jews of no denomination (30 percent), followed by Conservative (18 percent) and Orthodox (10 percent).

Playwrights Arthur Miller and Frank Gagliano share a laugh
during the reception that established the "Arthur Miller Award for Dramatic Writing" at the University of Michigan's first FESTIVAL OF NEW WORKS.
Shortly after Arthur Miller died, at the age of 89, on 10 February, 2005, I was interviewed about it on a National Public Radio show called WEEKEND AMERICA. They wanted to interview people who had seen the original production of DEATH OF A SALESMAN. In the middle of my reminiscing about that experience . . . I briefly broke down.
Ever since, I’ve been trying to figure out why the death of Arthur Miller caused such personal grieving and sadness in me — and still does.
When Tennessee Williams, our other great playwright, died, I was sad, of course — Ibelieve A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE is the other great American play; and I also felt that Williams, like Miller, had been dealt with disgracefully in his later years — but I had only met Williams once. He was pleasant and encouraging, but distant and shy. With Miller, it was more personal; he was sprinkled throughout my life, professionally and in person.
I was first in the presence of Arthur Miller, up close and in the flesh, in 1967, when I was a new member of The New Dramatists in New York. He came to speak to us “emerging playwrights” and was very excited — because he had recently seen an excellent Off-Broadway revival of his play, A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE, and had signed the director of that show,

Ulu Grosbard, to direct his new Broadway play, THE PRICE. I remember how important Arthur Miller thought it was that a playwright have the right director for his work! In fact, that was the theme of his remarks at that New Dramatists’ meeting.
In those days The New Dramatists sent out playwrights to attend rehearsals of shows headed for Broadway. I landed the plum assignment of observing rehearsals of the new play Arthur Miller had talked to us about, THE PRICE. I was even invited to attend an early meeting at producer Robert Whitehead’s office, where I met Whitehead, director Ulu Grosbard and, of course, Arthur Miller. I was allowed to listen, take part, encouraged to ask questions and — at one point, when there was a lot ofhad my father placed all his hopes in me to fulfill his faded dreams, as Willy had in his son Biff. Where Willy and my father did directly connect, however, (and which I felt deeply) was in their great fatigue. My father could sit down and fall asleep in thirty seconds flat, so tired was he from getting up at 3 AM in the morning to literally put bread on our table. Was my father as fatigued to the soul as Willy? That, I did not know.
But what awed this young, at-the-time, unschooled playwright, however, was the totality of the theatrical experience: The pressured words hurled at me from un-miked, larger than life, clear-spoken actors, who gave each word its due, and the rhythm of the text’s phrases,

death, like some cosmic dramatic event, was a consequence, setting off a new pressure, that would journey me to some unknown consequence still to come?
Perhaps.
The toughness that Miller showed when he took over his own production of THE PRICE, was a toughness and activism he was to exhibit on the larger world stage — the same world I was living in, and was beginning to see through his eyes, his courage, and filtered through his sensibility, and articulated through his language. Here’s Miller, on hearing that President John Kennedy has been murdered (from Miller’s memoir TIMEBENDS):
“Even in the thirties, as bad as things got, there was always the future; certainly in all my work was an implicit reliance on some redemptive time to come, a feeling that thecosmos cared about man, if only to mock him. With Kennedy’s assassination the cosmos had simply hung up the phone.” (pp. 509-510).
And was my grief involved, as well, with that now-gone Arthur Miller, who could arrange words to articulate what I had felt, when I first confronted President Kennedy’s murder?
Perhaps.
Because, by the time of THE PRICE, Arthur Miller had lived through, and publicly fought, in deed and in word, the House Un-American Activities Committee — and was humiliated by having his passport revoked; had been indicted on charges of contempt of Congress — later reversed; had been elected President of PEN, a position that would enable him to fight for oppressed writers and artists in the Soviet Union and elsewhere; had had his work banned in Soviet Russia;

A sustainable approach right from the planning stage has made Nagpur Metro the country’s ‘greenest metro’, Brajesh Dixit, Managing Director of Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Ltd, told Abhjit Mulye in an interview. Excerpts:
What is meant by the greenest metro? What are the sustainable solutions used in developing this metro?
Sixty-five per cent of the energy requirement of Nagpur Metro is met from solar panels on the roofs of the metro rail, stations, depot boundary walls, depot shed etc. This was done from the inception stage. In the first phase, 14 MW solar power capacity has been installed. The energy generated is added to the national grid and the power required is drawn from local sources. Also, procurement of materials and the project management was done onof Modern Warfare 3, and my new price target.
First let me evaluate the Jim Cramer recommendation. On Thursday November 10th, Cramer said he would take a pass on Activision shares. Cramer largely ignores video game stocks as they are hard to figure out. The competition from social games has scared Cramer away from companies like Activision and Electronic Arts (ERTS) as they compete with Zynga and other companies who compete with free or cheap online games which users play daily. Cramer called gaming stocks "too hard to figure out" but I have to disagree.
Activision Blizzard is a large gaming company with two operating segments: video games and computer games. The video game segment consists of the popular Call of Duty blockbuster series, Wipeout, Spyro, and several video games

that tie in with movies. On the Blizzard computer game side the company has World of Warcraft, Diablo, and Starcraft which sell as individual computer games and also as recurring monthly subscriber fees from World of Warcraft players. On October 31st, Cramer also took a pass at Activision stock. The company is the largest video game company in the world and pays a dividend as well. Let’s take a look at some recent highlights of the conference call to see what Cramer might have missed.
The third quarter for Activision proved to be very successful for the company. Some highlights include:
Company executives announced that lifetime to date sales of World of Warcraft and Call of Duty now rank with the Star Wars and Harry Potter franchises in terms ofmodel similar to World of Warcraft. If Activision can reach a million users of the premium service within a year it would be faster than Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) and XBOX Live both reached that significant milestone.
Blizzcon, the annual conference attended by computer game fanatics, was attended by over 26,000 people and also watched live online by over 1 million people around the World. The conference featured many upcoming products from Blizzard. The newest World of Warcraft expansion, Mists of Pandaria, was showcased in its world premiere with plenty of buzz. Starcraft 2 expansion pack Heart of the Swarm was shown to attendees as was a new multiplayer side of the game.
World of Warcraft is set for a strong year with its newest expansion pack. The company also attempts to

The record shows that Nara's mental condition
deteriorated while he was in prison. Shortly after he arrived
at the State Correctional Institution at Pittsburgh, he was
placed in the institution's hospital for "psychiatric reasons."
App. at 316. Nara was transferred to Farview State Hospital
after being diagnosed as having "suicidal ideation of severe
proportions." App. at 319. Although he was returned to
prison, he was hospitalized again after attempting to
commit suicide in February 1985 by overdosing on drugs.
A psychiatrist diagnosed Nara as "severely mentally
2
disabled" and "a clear and present danger to himself."
Supp. App. at 67. After another lengthy hospital stay for
approximately16 months, he was transferred to the State
Correctional Institution at Huntingdon, Pennsylvania in
1986, where he is incarcerated to this day. There is nothing
in the record of Nara's mental condition after 1986.
On April 21, 1988, Nara filed his first petition for relief
under the Pennsylvania Post Conviction Relief Act ("PCRA"),
42 Pa. Cons. Stat. Ann. SS 9541 et seq . In the
accompanying pro se brief, Nara stated, inter alia, that he
was not mentally competent when he pled guilty and that
his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to assess his
mental competence at the time of the crimes and when he
pled guilty. After a hearing at which Nara was represented
by court-appointed counsel, the trial court denied the
petition. The trial court's opinion and order, however,
addressed only the ineffective assistance of counsel claim.

of Pennsylvania affirmed, and the
Pennsylvania Supreme Court denied review in 1989.
On May 15, 1990, Nara filed a second PCRA petition. He
argued that his plea should be withdrawn because he was
mentally incompetent when he entered it. The trial court
appointed new counsel and held a hearing on November 19,
1990 at which a forensic psychiatrist testified that Nara
was psychotic and depressed at the time of his guilty plea
and therefore was "not mentally capable" of entering a plea.
App. at 474. Based on this testimony, the trial court found
that Nara's guilty plea was not valid and granted Nara's
petition. The Commonwealth appealed. The Superior Court
reversed and reinstated the plea, ruling that the issue of
Nara's competence had been waived because Nara had
failed to raise it in his first post-conviction hearing.1 The
Superior Court stated in ahis guilty plea by failing to
file a post-sentence motion to withdraw the plea pursuant
to Pa. R. Crim. P. 321. That rule provided, in part:"(a) A
motion challenging the validity of a guilty plea, or the denial
of a motion to withdraw a guilty plea shall be in writing and
shall be filed with the trial court within ten (10) days after
imposition of sentence."2 In 1992, the Pennsylvania
Supreme Court denied Nara's petition for allowance to
appeal. The United States Supreme Court denied Nara's
petition for certiorari.
On December 19, 1995, Nara filed a third PCRA petition,
alleging, inter alia, that he was incompetent to enter the
guilty plea. The trial court appointed attorney Phyllis Jin to
represent Nara, and held a hearing on April 30, 1996. At
this hearing, Nara agreed that he had previously litigated

to the judgments of Pennsylvania's courts. Nara pled guilty
on June 20, 1984 and was sentenced on July 13, 1984.
Nara did not file a direct appeal, so his conviction and
sentence were "final" on August 13, 1984, when the time
during which he could have appealed (30 days) lapsed.

period for those petitioners whose convictions became final

Pennsylvania Supreme Court denied Nara's petition for
allowance of appeal. It followed that the last date on which
Nara could have timely filed his habeas petition was
December 7, 1998, making his actual filing on December
12, 1998 untimely.
On appeal, Nara argues that his motion was "pending" at
least until expiration of the time to seek reconsideration by
the Pennsylvania Supreme Court (14 days), if not until
expiration of the time for petitioning the United States
Supreme Court for certiorari (90 days). In support of this
contention, Nara cites our decision in Kapral v. United

in the record that Nara's current mental status
affected his ability to present his habeas petition. However,
because Nara originally filed his habeas petition pro se, and
because he has presented evidence of ongoing, if not
consecutive, periods of mental incompetency, an evidentiary
hearing is warranted in order to develop the record.

Also troubling is Nara's contention that his attorney in
the third PCRA proceeding (in which the PCRA petition was
withdrawn in favor of the motion to withdraw Nara's guilty
plea) effectively abandoned him and prevented him from
filing the habeas petition on time. In Nara's application for
a certificate of appealability, he listed multiple ways in

into the living room, where they were seated. Neither then, nor at any time during the evening, did the agents display any weapons, handcuffs, nor make any effort to arrest Dr. Melnikas or execute the search warrant.
The agents proceeded to interview Dr. Melnikas initially in the presence of Mrs. Melnikas regarding the missing Vatican folios. Approximately 10-15 minutes into the conversation Mrs. Melnikas left the room at the direction of her husband. She was not seen again by Agent Beauchamp or Modie, although Mrs. Melnikas testified that she later surreptitiously overheard a portion of her husband's conversation with the agents.[2]
Agent Beauchamp initiated the interview by producing a three-by-five inch color transparency of a picture representing one of the missing Vatican folio pages. He proceeded to questionhis case would proceed, and he was advised that this was a criminal matter and that he had a right to have an attorney represent him. Dr. Melnikas possesses a doctorate degree and has been a college professor for more than forty years. He was alert, able to understand and communicate with the agents, and was not suffering from any apparent physical or mental condition that might render his confession other than voluntary and intelligent. The entire two and a half hour interview was devoid of any sign of force or physical threat.
In sum, Dr. Melnikas voluntarily provided law enforcement agents with a statement on May 19, 1995. Similarly, Dr. Melnikas's waiver of his rights was the product of a free and voluntary choice and is therefore valid.[11]

Preston North End manager Alex Neil felt his side did what they had to, to rectify matters, by winning the penalty shoot out against Hull City that put the Lilywhites into the third round of the Carabao Cup.
The Lilywhites had gone 2-0 up through Paul Huntington and Josh Harrop, with his third in as many games, but a Josh Magennis penalty and a last-ditch close-range strike from Jarrod Bowen took the game to spot kicks.
However, Harrop, Ryan Ledson, substitutes Jayden Stockley and Billy Bodin scored, Connor Ripley saved from Tom Eaves and North End skipper Alan Browne won it by converting the tenth and final penalty to make it 5-4 to the home side.
Speaking to iFollow PNE after the game, the manager felt it was a game ofThe extracellular adenosine receptor has a modulatory role in the nervous, circulatory, endocrine, and immunological systems. The prospect of harnessing these effects specifically for therapeutic purposes is attractive. A functionalized congener approach to drug design in which a "carrier" molecule is attached to a receptor pharmacophore has been applied to the adenosine receptor to produce analogs of agonists and antagonists which have promise as therapeutic agents and as receptor probes. Prodrugs of adenosine agonists and antagonist targeted for the brain and kidneys are being designed. In the antagonist series new analogs which combine potency, water solubility, and A1-adenosine receptor selectivity in the same compound are now being evaluated in in vivo testing. In the central nervous system adenosine agonists act as cerebroprotective agents. We are developing new agonists

measure the air velocity. The oscillatory engine was placed on top of the water surface inside the container. While the water temperature was varied from 16 °C to 31 °C, the oscillation frequency of shutters was recorded using a digital camera (Canon EOS Rebel T5i). During the experiment, the compression applied to the buckling beam was slightly adjusted to achieve the maximum oscillation rate for different water temperatures.
Characterization of the rotary engine
-------------------------------------
The five-disk rotary engine was placed in a closed chamber of 2-mm-thick acrylic glasses. A stream of humidity-controlled air was pumped into the chamber through plastic tubing. RH and temperature were measured both in the humid enclose of the rotary engine and in the surrounding environment. Humidity and temperature in the chamber was measured using Vaisala HMP77 Humidity andSonobuoy
A sonobuoy (a portmanteau of sonar and buoy) is a relatively small buoy (typically , in diameter and long) expendable sonar system that is dropped/ejected from aircraft or ships conducting anti-submarine warfare or underwater acoustic research.
Theory of operation
Sonobuoys are ejected from aircraft in canisters and deploy upon water impact. An inflatable surface float with a radio transmitter remains on the surface for communication with the aircraft, while one or more hydrophone sensors and stabilizing equipment descend below the surface to a selected depth that is variable, depending on environmental conditions and the search pattern. The buoy relays acoustic information from its hydrophone(s) via UHF/VHF radio to operators on board the aircraft.

It was only four years ago that the kingdom formally approved sports for girls in private schools. Women first participated in Saudi Arabia’s Olympic team during the 2012 London games.
Despite incremental openings for Saudi women, tight restrictions remain in place. Women are banned from driving and must seek the permission of a male guardian to travel abroad or obtain a passport.

city’s school system could be divided largely along racial and ethnic lines. ("Nebraska to Break Up Omaha District," April 19, 2006)
A few said they back the plan, proposed in the Nebraska legislature by a black lawmaker from Omaha as a way to empower parents. But the loudest cries from within the city were from those who called it state-sponsored segregation. Many said they felt blindsided by the proposal’s quick passage. Some doubt it will be carried out.
Omaha Superintendent John J. Mackiel has called on leaders from nearby districts to meet with him in the coming weeks to come up with an alternative to the plan, which was part of a larger measure to address an ongoing boundary dispute between the Omaha district and other school systems. Under theclass of district—Omaha is the only one—into new districts with two or three high schools each. It also says those districts must use current attendance areas as boundaries.
In a city where most blacks live in the north end, Latinos are concentrated in the south, and most whites are in the west, the result would be three districts, with student populations reflecting their respective geographic areas.
The 46,000-student Omaha district is 44 percent white, 31.5 percent black, and 21 percent Latino. Figures from the district indicate that a breakup could produce one district with about two-thirds white students, another with about half the students African-American, and a third with about half Latino students.

It seeks a declaration that St. Paul was obligated to provide coverage and to indemnify Manley, Bennett for the cost of the defense. District Judge Guy ruled that St. Paul was required to indemnify Manley, Bennett for court costs and attorney fees, but, as to the coverage issue, the Court granted Manley, Bennett's motion for voluntary dismissal.

Scripture and liturgy go hand in hand. In the Early Church as it is now, Scripture holds a high place in the liturgy. Without Scripture it could be said that there would be no liturgy. Commentaries and exegesis were done during the liturgy in the Early Church and not in an academic setting. The Church Fathers were pastors and preachers.
In Letter and Spirit: From Written Text to Living Word in the Liturgy (Doubleday 2005), Scott Hahn discusses the ways that Scripture is highly liturgical. For example in the Book of Exodus he shows that instructions are given on how to celebrate the Passover. He shows that many of the events in the Bible have a liturgical style to them. One of these is the Battle

Assad vows not to 'quit under pressure'
DAMASCUS - Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has said in an interview for Russian TV he will not quit under foreign pressure, saying the Syrian people must decide.
Western powers and much of the Syrian opposition say it is not conceivable for Mr Assad to lead a post-war Syria.
Mr Assad said Iran was supporting his government "politically, economically and militarily" but denied that Iranian ground forces had been sent.
The latest comments come as Russia increases its presence in Syria.
Mr Assad said that the president "comes to power with the people's assent through elections, and if he leaves, he leaves if the people demand it".
Mr Assad was re-elected in 2014 with 88.7% of the vote. However, the election only took place in government-held areas andthe opposition said the vote had no credibility in the midst of a civil war.
In the interview Mr Assad also said the refugee crisis which has seen more than four million Syrians flee the country, and millions more internally displaced, was due to "terrorism".
He urged Western countries to "stop supporting terrorists" if they are concerned about an influx of refugees.
Mr Assad's message is not new, says the BBC's Sebastian Usher. From the first days of the Syrian crisis, when he was facing unarmed opposition from street protests, he has framed it as a battle against terrorism,
What has changed is the timing and the circumstances. Mr Assad and one of his main backers, Russia, are pointing to the refugee crisis and the rise of Islamic State (IS) as proof

Use of win-stay and win-shift strategies in place and cue tasks by medial caudate putamen (MCPu) lesioned rats.
This study investigated the behavioral function of the medial caudate putamen (MCPu) in the solving of maze tasks. MCPu lesioned rats (n = 35) and control rats (n = 35) were trained for the place or cue task (the four baited arms and four unbaited arms task) in an eight-arm radial maze, which requires the win-stay or the win-shift strategy. In Experiment 1, in which the place task was used, MCPu lesioned rats could learn the task in the win-shift condition, but not in the win-stay condition. MCPu lesioned rats made a lot of unbaited errors in the win-stay condition, as they persistently chose adjacent arms.

He says this divergence is a "classic euphoria signal." Such overexuberance has historically been a sign that investment sentiment is overextended.
BAML says the S&P 500 outpacing the Fed's balance sheet is a "classic euphoria signal." Bank of America Merrill Lynch Legendary investor Byron Wien, who currently serves as vice chairman of Blackstone's private wealth solutions group, agrees with BAML. He sees the stock market outpacing the Fed's balance sheet as problematic and called the development "disturbing" in a July 26 client note.
BAML also points to record low private client cash levels as a sign that the stock market may be close to maxing out. With investors looking fully invested, there's limited dry powder for them to put to work in the market, should they feel inclined to addto positions.
And, perhaps most importantly to BAML's call for a market top this autumn, a proprietary indicator maintained by the firm sits on the brink of reaching a sell signal. It's put together a list of things that need to happen for the market to peak in August:
The dollar index falls to 90, coinciding with "unambiguous" US labor/consumer weakness (non-farm payrolls lower than 100,000) and a flatter yield curve
The end of high-yield leadership, which "should be an early warning system"
Fatigue in equity growth leadership, in areas like the Nasdaq Internet Index, emerging markets Internet, and semiconductors

The appellant contends that the district court erred in denying the motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict because the appellees did not prove the elements of fraud required under Georgia law.

I. BACKGROUND
2
Dresser was primarily an oil service company that acquired International Harvester's construction equipment business in 1982, but was a lesser player in the heavy construction equipment industry which was dominated by other companies such as Caterpillar and Komatsu. The leading companies in the industry had the money to invest in research and development of new equipment, and the smaller companies struggled to keep up with the pace of innovations. Dresser was one of the companieshaving difficulty staying competitive in the industry. Joint ventures were increasingly common in the industry as the strategy for survival, and Dresser began talking with potential joint venture partners in 1986. In late summer of 1987, Dresser's senior management began preliminary discussions with Komatsu about the possibility of a joint venture. The two companies signed a confidentiality agreement restricting information of the discussions about the potential joint venture to their senior executives.

The Williams were Georgia residents who were sophisticated business executives, having owned and managed numerous businesses for years.

eight trucks to 31 plants and 600 trucks. John Williams asked his son, Jay Williams, to run a block plant, and when the Williams sold their business they owned six block plants. The Williams sold their building materials company in 1986 for $90,000,000, and sought a new business.
4
They learned that a heavy equipment distributorship, the Tri-State Tractor Company ("Tri-State") was for sale, and on January 5, 1988, the Williams signed a letter of intent to purchase Tri-State. Because Dresser's permission was necessary for the sale of the distributorship, the Williams contacted Dresser to obtain its consent, and to place an initial order of inventory. Dresser denied the inventory order, and the Williams traveled to Chicago to meet with Dresser representatives.
5
In Chicago, the Williams metwith the marketing and sales vice president of the construction equipment division, Wesley Lee, and with other Dresser employees; none of the Dresser employees with whom they met knew about the possible joint venture. The negotiations lasted approximately four hours, and Lee repeatedly left the room apparently in order to consult with someone with higher authority. During the meeting, the Williams asked Lee about Dresser's future, and Lee responded that Dresser would be "second to none," that they were planning to hire additional engineers and would make Dresser "one of the leading machinery people in the business."1 The Williams assumed that they would meet with Gary Eggerichs, the head of Dresser's construction equipment division, although they had not asked for a meeting with him,

The district court denied the motion to dismiss, noting that Georgia law imposed a duty to disclose material facts in light of either a confidential relationship or the particular circumstances of the case.4 The district court found that the Williams had alleged sufficient facts giving rise to a duty to disclose because of the particular circumstances.5 The district court also found that the Williams alleged that Dresser fraudulently concealed and misrepresented the existing fact of its present intention to enter the joint venture.6 The case proceeded to a jury trial, and at the end of the plaintiff's case, Dresser moved for a directed verdict.evaluate Dresser in any way, nor did he obtain copies of Dresser's recent annual reports. The Williams conducted a thorough due diligence analysis of Tri-State, but Tri-State is not a party to this action. Just as the So. Intermodal Logistics plaintiffs' failure to seek out industry information was a lack of due diligence, the Williams' failure to investigate the available industry information on Dresser's financial status and joint venture plans constitutes a failure to exercise due diligence.

(CNN) The Democratic-controlled House approved a bill Tuesday that would reiterate strong congressional support for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization alliance amid recent reports that President Donald Trump raised the idea of withdrawing from NATO several times last year.
"It's so disturbing -- troubling to see the United States sending mixed signals about our commitment to the alliance, or treating it as a burden," said House Foreign Affairs Chairman Eliot Engel, a New York Democrat, at a news conference on Capitol Hill.
"You know what a burden would be?" he asked. "A burden would be for the United States to try and conduct foreign policy without allies, without 28 other countries that share our values and have fought alongside American troops, sharing the burden of lost blood and treasure attimes."
Trump has been clear in his criticism of NATO and has knocked allies for failing to pay enough for their defense . Meanwhile, Russia has long attempted to divide the alliance, and a US exit would be seen as a major victory for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The bill, which passed with bipartisan support by 357-22, states that it's US policy to remain a member of NATO and prohibits funds from being used to withdraw from the alliance.

Urios: apparentlyActor Cuba Gooding Jr. was hit with a new indictment Thursday — the same day jury selection in his sexual misconduct case was set to begin in New York.
The charges in the indictment cover the existing groping complaint, which is at the core of the trial, but also include a new uncharged incident, Manhattan Asst. District Attorney Jenna Long said in a statement to The Times. Long also made her case during a Thursday court hearing, according to the Associated Press.
Gooding, who appeared in court, is scheduled to reappear on Oct. 15, when he’ll be arraigned and enter a new plea. The indictment and the new charge will be unsealed at that time.

The 2012 survey found that 32 percent of the respondents lived and worked in Longmont, compared with nearly 39 percent in 2010.
"For the first time, we have most of the employees coming from somewhere else," Cody said, adding that he thinks most of them are coming primarily from Weld and Larimer counties. "What it means to me is that more people are commuting to Longmont to get to work from somewhere else, and it's significant. In the early part of the (2000s), more than half the people were both living and working here."
MacIntyre feels Colorado is capable of making run at bowlLouisiana State Penitentiary at Angola on October 7, 1971. Mr. Brown had previously been incarcerated in Illinois where a serious acidic stomach condition was diagnosed, and he was placed on a bland diet. During his stay at Angola, Mr. Brown was repeatedly examined by numerous physicians who also prescribed a bland diet as part of his medical treatment. The Department failed to provide the plaintiff with a bland diet. Plaintiff's condition deteriorated to such an extent that on August 21, 1973, 70% of his stomach was surgically removed. Plaintiff filed suit on August 21, 1974.
Defendant-appellant assigns three specifications of error (1) the negligence of the defendant in failing to provide a bland diet and its causal relationship to the injuries suffered, (2) prescription, and (3) quantum.

petition in addition to the removal to the major portion of his stomach, and the resulting disability therefrom, include many months of pain and suffering prior to surgery, his forced ingestion of large quantities of Maalox and permanent damage to his back as a result of a chemical imbalance resulting from the heavy consumption of milk and Maalox.
Though plaintiff was long aware of the cause of his pain and suffering and the inability of obtaining a bland diet, we pretermit any discussion of the exception of prescription being applicable to those damages other than the removal of the stomach and its resulting disability inasmuch as the Trial Judge in his oral reasons for judgment only awarded damages for the removal of the stomach and the resulting disability.
The problemto have a bland diet. After confinement at Angola, he often complained of stomach pains and was examined by doctors who confirmed his need of a bland diet. He told the prison authorities of his need, but received the reply that the prison had no facilities for bland diets. Ultimately, seventy per cent of plaintiff's stomach was removed. Exactly one year later he filed suit.
I believe prescription had accrued. Plaintiff must have knowledge, actual or constructive, of the negligence and injury for prescription[1] to begin accruing.[2] Plaintiff knew of this breach of duty, and of the injury to him long before the surgery occurred.
It is not clear when plaintiff was advised that surgical removal was needed and would be done, but it is logical that it occurred sometime

before the operation. Even under the best assumption for plaintiff, that is, the prescriptive period begins when the fullest or most serious result becomes apparent, prescription had occurred before the suit was filed.
Plaintiff's argument that he had no knowledge of the damage until he had the operation is factually and legally unavailing. The only thing he did not know was the complete extent of the damage; he had previously known of the failure to give him bland food and of his stomach pains. To allow him to carve out of all the consequences the one fact, the operation, itself really an effort surgically to remedy the damage, and to assert that the prescriptive period begins then is to allow the splitting of a cause of action as differentThe White House has decided not to invite the Israeli Minister of Finance Moshe Kahlon or other Israeli government officials to the Bahrain conference in Manama on June 25, where it plans to launch the economic part of the Trump administration's Israeli-Palestinian peace plan, U.S. officials told me.
The big picture: The decision follows a Palestinian boycott of the conference, which has put pressure on other Arab and Muslim nations not to attend. A senior U.S. official told me: "The goal of the workshop in Bahrain is to present our economic vision for the Palestinian people. As such we want to focus on the economic aspects and not the political ones." The Bahrain conference will now take place without Israeli or Palestinian officials.

officials said Israel would be invited at a high level. Even after the Palestinians decided to boycott the conference, the Trump administration still planned to use the event to promote Israeli relations with the Gulf states.
The Palestinians view the fact that Israeli officials will not be in Manama as an achievement for their boycott campaign.
Behind the scenes: Israeli officials told me the White House was telling them for some time that Israel would be invited to the conference after all major Arab countries confirmed their participation. After Egypt, Jordan and Morocco confirmed, Israel was hoping to get an invitation.
The Israeli officials told me that in the last few days, when an invitation didn't arrive, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in closed meetings that he is not going to"chase an invitation." Netanyahu's office denied he said he will not chase an invitation.
A senior U.S. official told me the White House has notified the Israeli government of the decision. A senior Israeli official said that Netanyahu has no problem with the White House decision and he respects the Trump administration's judgment.
A source briefed on the preparations for the conference told me that the White House is planning to invite private Israeli businessmen to attend the conference.
What they're saying: EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Federica Mogherini, who met with Jared Kushner a week ago to discuss the Bahrain conference, said today at a meeting with Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi that the EU will send only a "technical level official" to the conference.

Woo's petition for writ of mandate; and whether Zarabi's amended complaint naming Woo as a defendant relates back to the date of filing her original complaint.
I
TIMELINESS OF PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDATE
On August 28, 1998, Woo filed a motion for summary judgment. On October *22 16, the trial court issued a telephonic ruling granting the motion. On October 30, the trial court heard oral argument on the motion and on November 12 issued a written ruling denying the motion. A degree of uncertainty pervades the procedure that followed. Woo asserts the court clerk served the November 12 written ruling by mail on November 23; Zarabi asserts the court clerk served the November 12 written ruling by mail on November 12. Each party has submitted a proof of servicethe trial-court's final signed written ruling but no proof of service. On November 23, she served by mail on all parties the final signed written ruling. The superior court file contains the final written ruling signed by the trial court and the November 23 proof of service; it does not contain the documents submitted to us by Zarabi.
Under these circumstances, we find November 23, 1998, was the date of service by mail of the written notice of order denying Woo's motion for summary judgment. Only the November 23, 1998, service included the complete final written ruling signed by the trial judge. Woo's petition for writ of mandate was filed on December 18, 1998. Code of Civil Procedure section 437c, subdivision (l)[1] provides that a petition for writ of

obtain a biopsy specimen. She further alleged that in May 1996 Barone informed her that Sigeti had in February 1996 misinterpreted her mammogram and that a new biopsy specimen was necessary. She sought damages resulting from unnecessary multiple operations to obtain biopsy specimens.
On June 10, 1997, Sigeti served on Zarabi a request for production of documents, including a request for notes and letters from doctors concerning her treatment. On July 30, 1997, Zarabi responded to Sigeti's request for production of documents. Included in the response were two written reports dated February 22, 1996, from Woo to Barone, one of which described the hookwire localization procedure and the other the breast surgical specimens. Also included in the response was a report dated May 14, 1996, from Sigeti to Baronedescribing Sigeti's interpretation *23 of a May 13, 1996, mammogram and ultrasound tests on Zarabi. Inexplicably, Zarabi in her opposition to the writ petition suggests her response to the request for production of documents did not include the two February 1996 written reports from Woo to Barone or the May 1996 written report from Sigeti to Barone.
On August 8, 1997, Sigeti's counsel sent a letter to Zarabi's counsel explaining that on the basis of Zarabi's response to the request for production of documents, Sigeti was not involved in the February 1996 mammogram interpretation or placement of the hookwire as alleged in Zarabi's complaint and that Sigeti was involved only in interpretation of a May 1996 mammogram and ultrasound test.

in the original complaint. The amended summons served on Woo was issued on February 3, 1998. It stated to the person served that service was as to an individual defendant and did not purport to be for service on a person sued under a fictitious name.
Zarabi's deposition was taken by Woo's attorney on July 14 and August 24, 1998. She testified that in May 1996 Barone told her and her husband that Woo misinterpreted her February 1996 mammogram and incorrectly placed the hookwire.
On August 28, 1998, Woo filed a motion for summary judgment, asserting that Zarabi's action against Woo is barred by the section 340.5 one-year statute of limitations. Woo argued that in May 1996 Zarabi learned Woo had in February 1996 misinterpreted her mammogram and incorrectly placedthe hookwire in her left breast and therefore the one-year statute of limitations started to run in May 1996. The amended complaint that for the first time named Woo as a defendant was filed on February 3, 1998, more than one year after Zarabi discovered her injury. Zarabi opposed the motion for summary judgment, arguing that although the statute of limitations began to run in May 1996, her original complaint was filed on April 25, 1997, within the one-year limitations period, and the amended complaint naming Woo as a defendant relates back in time to the date of filing the original complaint. The trial court treated the amended complaint as the functional equivalent of the substitution of a party for a fictitious Doe defendant, held that the time

discussed Woo's participation with her and her husband: she was at the time confused and frightened because she was told by Barone her life was in jeopardy and she could die, and under those stressful circumstances did not remember Barone mentioning the name of any other doctor. She remembered Woo's identity only when conferring with her attorney in November 1997 after reviewing medical records showing that Woo, and not Sigeti, was responsible for her claimed injury. She also asserts that the only medical records she had received at the time she filed her original complaint identified *26 Sigeti but not Woo and she therefore had no knowledge of Woo's identity.
We perceive an element of disingenuousness in Zarabi's arguments. The record is devoid of evidence that Barone's discussions withZarabi and her husband could have created a fear of imminent death that fogged her memory from May 1996 until November 1997, at which time she suddenly remembered Woo's identity while conferring with her attorney. Furthermore, although she argues the medical records in her possession at the time she filed her original complaint referred only to Sigeti, those records were produced by her together with medical records identifying Woo. Those medical records showed Sigeti's involvement in May 1996 and Woo's involvement in February 1996. It is difficult to understand how Zarabi could have the May records but not the February records when she filed her original complaint in April 1997. In addition, Zarabi inconsistently argues that at the time she filed her original complaint (1) she knew of

established that in May 1996, she knew Woo's identity. However, at the time she filed her original complaint in April 1997 she avers she was ignorant of Woo's identity. Presumably, in the interim, she forgot it. Although she does not rely on Balon v. Drost (1993) 20 Cal.App.4th 483, 25 Cal. Rptr.2d 12, Balon appears from our research to be the reported case most similar to the instant case on the issue of known but forgotten defendant identity under section 474.
In Balon, the plaintiff was involved in an automobile accident with another vehicle owned by Drost and driven by Hurley. Immediately after the accident plaintiff and driver Hurley exchanged personal identification information; Hurley's identification was written on a piece of paper, which plaintiff placed in her purse. Theplaintiff contacted an attorney shortly before the statute of limitations was to expire but was unable to identify driver Hurley; she had forgotten Hurley's name and the paper on which Hurley's identification was recorded. Before the statute of limitations expired, plaintiffs attorney filed suit against the vehicle owner Drost and included a cause of action against fictitiously named defendants. Within two weeks after the limitations period expired plaintiffs attorney obtained Hurley's identity from the public accident report and filed an amended complaint under section 474, adding Hurley as a defendant previously named as a fictitious defendant. The trial court determined that under these circumstances the plaintiff had ignored rather than been uninformed of the existence of Hurley, who could easily have been identified, and therefore was not entitled

Many years ago, a comet strike or a wandering asteroid passing through Saturn's moon system, crashed into one of the orbiting bodies, shattering it and sending fragments the size of sports stadia whirling along its orbital path.

New images from NASA's Cassini spacecraft have identified a series of "propellor-like" features that researchers think are the result of such a collision. The Cassini imaging team, including experts from the University of Boulder, Colorado, interprets the propellers as being the wake caused by small moonlets.
These bodies are too small to clear out surrounding ring material, but can still attract smaller particles to form the propeller shape. The largest of those in the image (in the white edged box out) is

said to be roughly 150 metres wide. The size is inferred from the separation of the propeller wings.
The first such features were seen in 2004, but the latest pictures have revealed that the moonlets are grouped together in a 3,000km wide belt of material.
"This is the first evidence of a moonlet belt in any of Saturn's rings," said Miodrag Sremcevic of CU-Boulder's Laboratory for atmospheric and space physics. "We have firmly established these moonlets exist in a relatively narrow region of the 'A' ring, and the evidence indicates they are remnants of a larger moon that was shattered by a meteoroid or comet."
The team calculates that the region may hold many thousands of these moonlets, ranging in size from a small truck to that of a sports stadium.Each propeller feature is about 16km long, the result of gravitational disturbances of the dusty ring.
The researchers say the findings support the idea that Saturn's rings were all created during a "collisional cascade" of ring debris, prompted by the breakup of a much larger moon. But the moonlets belt probably came later, after the ring system was well established (scientists think Saturn's rings have been there for hundreds of millions, possibly even billions of years).
In the paper, published in Nature, the team writes: "It seems unlikely that moonlets are remainders of a single catastrophic event that created the whole ring system, because in this case a uniform distribution would emerge. Instead, the moonlet belt is compatible with a more recent body orbiting in the A ring."

The combination of socialism, humanism and nationalism that was the trademark of Bhagat Singh was going to become even stronger after the launch of the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HRSA) in September 1928. While Bhagat Singh remained the key figure of the HSRA, among its leaders were other outstanding men, including Sukhdev, a great admirer of communism, Vijay Kumar Sinha, an avid reader, Shiv Verma and Chandrashekhar Azad, who was in charge of the Association’s “military” operations. These men formed a Central Committee, which included two representatives of each province where the movement waswell established – Punjab, the United Provinces and Bihar. The organisation was immediately divided into two branches, the ideological and the military. Bhagat Singh was at the helm of the former but took part in the latter too. Indeed, he was directly involved in the assassination of J.P. Saunders, a policeman who had been mistaken for the police chief J. A. Scott, whom Bhagat Singh held responsible for the death of Lala Lajpat Rai. An Arya Samaji and a Congress leader, Lajpat Rai had been killed after a lathi charge while he and others demonstrated against the Simon Commission’s Lahore visit. Like terrorists of the 19th century, the HRSA thought – expressed in an “official” communiqué – that by killing Saunders, it could “let the world know that

With his different-colored eyes (the result of a schoolyard fight) and needlelike frame, Bowie was a natural to segue from music into curious movie roles, and he starred as an alien seeking help for his dying planet in Nicolas Roeg’s surreal The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976). Critics later applauded his three-month Broadway stint as the misshapen lead in 1980’s The Elephant Man.
Bowie also starred in Marlene Dietrich’s last film, Just a Gigolo (1978), portrayed a World War II prisoner of war in Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence (1983), and played Pontius Pilate in Martin Scorsese’s The Last Temptation of Christ (1988). And in another groundbreaking move, Bowie, who always embraced technology, became the first rock star to morph intoan Internet Service Provider with the launch in September 1998 of BowieNet.
Born David Jones in London on Jan. 8, 1947, Bowie changed his name in 1966 after The Monkees’ Davy Jones achieved stardom. He played saxophone and started a mime company, and after stints in several bands, he signed with Mercury Records, which in 1969 released his album Man of Words, Man of Music, which featured “Space Oddity,” a poignant song about an astronaut, Major Tom, spiraling out of control.
In an attempt to stir interest in Ziggy Stardust, Bowie revealed in a January 1972 magazine interview that he was gay — though that might have been a publicity stunt — dyed his hair orange and began wearing women’s garb. The album became a sensation.

for, among others, Lou Reed, The Stooges and Moot the Hoople, for which he wrote the song “All the Young Dudes.” He earned a lifetime achievement Grammy Award in 2006.
Bowie was relatively quiet between the years of 2004 and 2012, reemerging in 2013 with the album The Next Day. Its arrival was met with a social media firestorm which catapulted it to No. 2 on the Billboard 200, his highest charting album ever.
While demand for a tour by the reclusive rock star has been something fans have wanted for some time, Bowie kept a decidedly low profile, maintaining a residence in New York but he was rarely seen. He was famously known for being private while health issue rumors surfaced every so often.

ByKen Denlinger
July 20, 1979
At age 11, Sonny Askew's sporting peers included players 19 and 20. He was swift and agile, shot well and practiced passionately whenever possible. Yet he never could be called a prodigy, for the simple reason that Sonny Askew is an American.
And his sport is soccer. Players become excellent early only if their countries have a tradition of excellence in that team game - and America will yield a Pele about as often as Poland produces a pope.
Still, being a precocious American helped him become a soccer professional, at 19, with the Washington Diplomats. But when his average playing time over two years could be measured in seconds, rather than minutes, and Coach Gordon Bradley wanted to talk after last season, Askew assumed

the worst.
"I hadn't played a second the whole year," he said. "I didn't even sit on the bench. During games, I'd sit in the stands - and I wouldn't go upstairs for the parties afterward. I just didn't feel part of the team."
So he assumed Bradley was about to banish him to somewhere in the North American Soccer League hinterlands. Or worse, perhaps out of soccer and back permanently to his hometown, Baltimore, from where he had commuted almost daily.
Instead, Bradley sent Askew to Scotland, for three months of development under reasonably extreme conditions, the way a father might send a headstrong son to a stern uncle for discipline. Askew, it seems, was what a wonderful Hungarian coach named Andre Nagy would call "too much the dribble boy."
Youhave seen young Askews everywhere, in and out of sport: the football runner who must juke 25 yards sideways to go five yards upfield, the basketball guard who must double clutch on the simplest layup, the preacher who spends 10 minutes getting to the point of his sermon.
Which, at Askew's position - the soccer equivalent of point guard - was a disaster.
"A soccer field can be divided into thirds," said Bradley. "The defensive third, the midfield third and the offensive third. Sonny's in the middle, the creative third, and when he loses the ball we break down.
"When a middle-field player has the ball, others move to support him up ahead. Control the ball, push it and run, that's what the game's all about. And when Sonny loses the

no, actually. According to Jo

reports of the liberation confused the
public's understanding of all these
points. Belsen
had no gas chambers and was not an
extermination camp.
If
anything, it had been one of the less
brutalised camps, since one of

its
purposes had been to hold some
prominent Jews for exchange with
interned Germans.
It
was only as the flood of inmates from
camps in Poland poured into Belsen in
the last months of the war that it took
on its familiar, hellish
character.
But,
for the British public, it was
inconceivable that there could have
been other camps that were even worse,
so people thought Belsen was as bad as
it got. This obscured awareness of the
existence of purpose-built
extermination camps in Poland, and the
policy they were designed to
implement.

Nor
was Belsen linked at the time with the
specifically Jewish tragedy, despite
the fact that Jews were the majority of
the inmates at the liberation. Again,
this obscured the reality of Hitler's
genocidal war against the
Jews.
After
the war, Belsen became a camp for
displaced persons. Reilly describes the
struggle between the surviving Jews in
the camp to establish their rights as
Jews, rather thanas nationals of the
countries from which they had been
deported.
This
brought them into conflict with the
British government, which wanted to
repatriate nationals to their home
countries. Clearly this made no sense
for Jews whose communities no longer
existed.
The
British government was loath to concede
that Jews were different from other
DPs, reasoning that to do so would be
to follow Nazi ideology. They were also
worried that a strong Jewish presence
would inevitably lead to unwelcome
pressure for a Jewish
homeland.
In
the propaganda battles that followed,
the British were so afraid of the
resonance that the word "Belsen" would
have around the world that they renamed
the camp Hohne. The Jews, with equal
resolution, continued to call it
Belsen.
Reilly's
analysis is scholarly, meticulously
referenced and never less than
even-handed. When discussing the
British government's obstructive
policies, or the less-than-impressive
response of Anglo-Jewry to the plight
of European Jews after the war, she
always explains these "shortcomings" in

The reign of power has ended in a high. An FA Cup victory over the determined Evertonians...a perfect goodbye present to the captain who steered the Chelsea vessel through the storms of the English League and into the clear skies.
The exit of Scolari left Chelsea coachless yet again and had already surrendered the league title to Manchester United and runners up Liverpool and were struggling to hold down their own against a surprisingly mighty Aston Villa.
Guus Hiddink, a close friend of Roman, and the coach of the Russian Football team was asked to be the caretaker of the Chelsea team until the end of the season. It was a daunting job.
The Chelsea team at that time were at sixes and sevens, low on

confidence and seemed often clueless in defending set pieces. His mission was simple: help Chelsea qualify for the Champions League next year.
Hiddink started his reign with a victory over Aston Villa in Villa Park, something that had not happened in over a decade. Many people could recognize the return of the old Chelsea.
The defence was back and working. The determination was there to be seen. The offense was chipping away useful goals.
Malouda was looking more like the Malouda of Lyon. Drogba was playing well again. The whole team was playing well.
Suddenly, Chelsea were one of the favourites to win the Champions League. Hiddink had managed to outclass Juventus and outplay Rafael Benitez and his Liverpool team.
The only thing that stood in Chelsea's road to Rome was Barcelona. Theywere another favourites to win the Champions League.
The clash between the two can best be described as a battle between the sword and the shield. At the end of the day Chelsea had managed to keep a clean sheet in Barcelona, a feat that only three teams had done that season.
The next round saw a more attacking Chelsea. Chelsea were leading Barcelona 1-0 and were favourites to win until Iniesta's godly strike scored the equalizer and Barcelona went ahead thanks to the away goal rule.
If not for the miracle strike, the finals would have seen the clash between two of the greatest tacticians in the world of football: the Golden Hiddink vs. Sir Ferguson.
The defeat was soon put behind their back as Chelsea demolished a depleted Arsenal side

SINGAPORE - At least 49 people have fallen ill with gastroenteritis after eating food prepared at Spize Restaurant, the National Environment Agency (NEA) said on Friday (Nov 9).
Of the 49 cases, 21 were hospitalised. All of the affected individuals had consumed food that was prepared at Spize Restaurant's River Valley Road outlet on Tuesday.
The Ministry of Health (MOH), the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) and NEA were first notified of the cases on Wednesday and conducted a joint inspection of the restaurant’s premises on the same day.
During the inspection, they found several hygiene lapses. Food that was ready-to-eat was left uncovered in a chiller, soap was not provided for people to wash their hands, the soap dispenser was faulty, and knives for preparing ready-to-eat food wereslotted in the gaps between food preparation tables.
The NEA said Spize was instructed to rectify the issues immediately, and had the licence of its River Valley Road outlet suspended "to protect consumers from public health risks from the continued operation of the foodshop".
Additionally, Spize was told to dispose of all ready-to-eat food, thawed food and perishable food items and conduct a thorough cleaning and sanitising of its premises, equipment, utensils, work surfaces and toilets.
Spize must also review and rectify the lapses in the food preparation processes that were identified during the joint inspection.
The River Valley Road outlet's licence will remain suspended until NEA is satisfied that the public health risks have been addressed.
NEA said it would take necessary enforcement actions against Spize for the infringements found during the

joint investigation.
"Licensed food operators have the responsibility to put in place systems and processes to ensure high hygiene standards are observed by their food handlers at all times. Food operators are also reminded to ensure that all food handlers are registered with the NEA and that they do not engage in any food preparation if they are sick," the NEA said.
NEA added that food retail outlets are inspected regularly and strict enforcement action will be taken against any errant food retail outlets.
The NEA advised members of the public to report such incidents by calling its 24-hour NEA Contact Centre on 1800-CALL-NEA (1800-2255-632).
Food and environmental samples from Spize Restaurant in River Valley Road were collected by AVA as part of the investigation. Laboratory tests are ongoing.
MOH has collected stoolYahoo’s business during her four-year tenure.
AOL declined to comment, as did a Yahoo spokesperson. The discounted-from-$4.8 billion deal is expected to close some time in the next month, delayed due to the hacking issue and the financial and legal complexity it introduced into the closing.
In addition, sources said that Armstrong is now close to making choices on which top Yahoo execs in Silicon Valley to keep and which to bid farewell to. Likely to stay, for example, is communications products head Jeff Bonforte, and likely to go is Adam Cahan, who has run a number of units under Mayer.

Bear Tails and Tiaras
I always view early autumn with a certain amount of nostalgia as it was around this time I first became interested in identifying the stellar patterns visible in the night sky. As it turns out early October is almost ideal to do so;- summer constellations remain well placed as soon as darkness falls, those associated with autumn take centre stage later in the evening and waiting in the wings is the brilliant stellar canopy of winter, a vista to savour. Of course I knew nothing of this as a young boy, but having just acquired a pair of second hand binoculars, a couple of astronomical books, and inspired by the many wonderful tales and legends associated with the constellations, early October seemed particularly suitable.
Google Dreamimage of the Two Bears: Ursae Major & Minor, overlayed for emphasis.
I took my first celestial steps with one of best-known star patterns, the Plough, the outline of which resembles a ‘dot to dot’ saucepan (also known as the Big Dipper). The Plough is really an asterism, a distinctive pattern within a constellation – in this case Ursa Major, the Great Bear. Throughout autumn evenings the Plough resides at an observer friendly altitude in the NNW as it endlessly circles celestial pole.
In Greek mythology Ursa Major represents Callisto, daughter of King Lycaon of Arcadia who after a liaison with Zeus bore a child, Arcas. In order to save Callisto from his enraged wife Hera, Zeus turned Callisto into a bear. Many years later whilst out hunting, Arcas was

spring the animal leaves its den; Corona Borealis. The bear is not killed until autumn whereupon its spirit is released; represented by setting Arcturus, whose name means ‘Bear Keeper’. The skeleton of the bear, the seven stars remains in the sky until the following spring when a new bear emerges from Corona, complete with renewed spirit and the hunt begins again.
Through the eyes of a small child such stories woven by our ancestors on the grandest of scales not only brought the starry heavens to life, but actively encouraged in setting out on a voyage of celestial discovery. Hopefully they still have the capacity to enhance your appreciation of the night sky. An interest credit was granted at the time of the original loan that made her monthly note payments forty-eight dollars. In 1974-77, similar interest credit pegged her monthly bill at forty dollars. In 1977, Mrs. Johnson was informed that the interest credit agreement would soon expire and was requested to supply information necessary to renew the subsidy. (D.Ex. 13). Mrs. Johnson did not supply the information and on March 15, 1978 her payments increased to the unsubsidized amount of eighty-nine dollars per month. Mrs. Johnson then supplied the information needed to process interest credit but was denied such credit due to "ineligibility" on April 17, 1978. Both the letter informing Mrs. Johnson of the increased payment amount and the letter denying

interest credit stated that Mrs. Johnson could appeal these decisions. She did not appeal.

Mrs. Johnson's repayment record was poor. Her account was accelerated in 1975 but she was able to pay the delinquency and retain her home. Between March 1976 and July 1977 she was sent thirteen notices of delinquency. Between April 1978 and the April 1980 acceleration she was sent five delinquency notices.
23
Mrs. Johnson failed to make the eighty-nine dollar monthly payments. A Notice of Acceleration advised Mrs. Johnson she could challenge the planned foreclosure in an administrative hearing. Mrs. Johnson did not ask for such a hearing and moved out of her home two days prior to the non-judicial foreclosure on July 31, 1980. Mrs. Johnson and her familynow live in a house without heating or indoor plumbing. Her former home is empty, awaiting resale among FmHA's inventory of homes.
24
Mrs. Johnson is a fifty-five year old grandmother. Numerous members of her extended family lived with her in the FmHA-financed house. She contends that she was improperly denied interest credit in 1978 because the household income was erroneously calculated. Specifically, she maintains that the FmHA included in the income projection child support that should have been paid to Mrs. Johnson's oldest daughter but in fact was never received and that the FmHA calculated Mrs. Johnson and her daughter's incomes based on full-time employment when in fact both women were unemployed or underemployed during this period.

in the mortgage note is not valid because she did not understand its meaning. At closing, in compliance with FmHA procedure, Mrs. Johnson was represented by an attorney chosen by her from a list supplied by FmHA. The record indicates that the attorney did not explain the power of sale clause to Mrs. Johnson. Expert testimony at the hearing on the preliminary injunction revealed that Mrs. Johnson has a third grade reading level and that the FmHA note could only be comprehended by a person with at least a college education and one year of graduate study. Finally, Mrs. Johnson asserts that because of the geographical happenstance that she is an Alabama resident, she was denied equal protection by the non-judicial foreclosure. Hadthat the standard notice of moratorium and interest credit relief are inadequate, that she was not informed of the right to appeal denials of such relief and that interest credit relief was improperly denied based on an erroneous calculation of her income. Mr. Lowe moved out of the house in 1976. He paid no child support for their two children until the local court ordered him to pay one hundred dollars per month in 1978. In late 1976, Mr. and Mrs. Lowe applied for interest credit and were refused due to insufficiently low income. (Lowe Dep., Def.Ex. 7). After Mr. Lowe left, Mrs. Lowe experienced financial troubles and claims that she was told that according to FmHA regulations interest credit was not available

============
The rapidly expanding volume of medical knowledge on early-onset scoliosis (EOS) has led to a significant evolution in the understanding and management of EOS. EOS refers to a spinal deformity that is present before the age of 10 years, and it is categorized into five types according to the etiology: idiopathic, congenital, thoracogenic, neuromuscular, and syndromic.^\[[@R1]\]^
Because of the various etiologies of EOS, there is no standardized or widely accepted classification system. Based on the etiology, magnitude of the major curve, kyphosis and the annual rate of progression, a new classification of EOS was recently designed by 15 experienced pediatric spine surgeons.^\[[@R2]\]^ High levels of agreement and consistency of this classification have been reported.^\[[@R2],[@R3]\]^
The treatment goals for EOS include minimizing the spinal deformity while maximizing the thoracic volume and

are confined to mild to moderate deformity. Despite the strict indications and limited applications, the greatest advantage of VBT and VBS is that they can preserve the growth potential and mobility in the spinal segments. The major disadvantages of these two techniques include the pulmonary and bowel complications caused by anterior surgeries.
### Shilla growth guidance system (SGGS)
The SGGS was first reported in 2014.^\[[@R53]\]^ SGGS guides spinal growth toward a normal alignment. The Shilla technique first corrects the apical deformity toward a neutral alignment. Then, the upper and lower growth guidance portions extend into the distal and proximal areas of the curve using polyaxial screws. These special screws have locking caps that fix to the top of the screws (not the rod) and capture the rod, allowing it toChopper scam case: Christian Michel's CBI custody extended by 5 days

The court had earlier on December 5 remanded Michel in CBI custody for five days.During the hearing, the CBI told the court that Michel was not cooperating with the probe and was evasive in giving answers.At the outset, Michel withdrew his earlier bail plea and filed fresh detailed bail application.Michel was extradited from Dubai after clearance from the UAE government on December 4.

around already, some people read the article, while others wasted no time, taking to their various social media platforms to rail against this latest food injustice.
This wasn't just an epic troll—Razza, Dan Richer's exemplary pizzeria, seven minutes from the World Trade Center by train ($2.75) at the Grove Street stop on the PATH commuter rail line, is that good. It's not just because they're really good at making pizza there, or that they use a wood-burning oven; a good deal of it—as Times critic Pete Wells noted in his review—is down to Richer's knack for procuring great New Jersey produce, from the state's legendary heirloom tomatoes, to mozzarella made from the milk of a herd of water buffaloes, up in the hills of Sussex County.
That New Jersey, everthe most eager celebrants of the genre—the state apparently now has over 600 diners, more than anywhere else in the country. There's the very old Summit Diner (in Summit, obviously), the brightly-lit Tops Diner in East Newark, where people often line up for an hour or more to be seated, Long Beach Island's fantastic Mustache Bill's—wherever you are in the state, you're never too far from one of these retro-fantastic places to grab a chargrilled cheeseburger; in many cases, Jersey's better diners now feature menus that can be astonishingly creative.

Some time after the military personnel, pursuant to appropriate regulations, made active effort to insure that off-post housing in the civilian community be made available to all service personnel on a non-discriminatory basis, it was pointed out by the Army's Director of Equal Opportunity Programs that while a large number of white service men were residing in Colonial Heights, no blacks were residing therein. This fact having been forcibly brought to the attention of the Housing Referral Director at Fort Lee, one Captain Hubert D. Geiger, he and the personnel in his office contacted landlords reported to have available housing in the surrounding community requesting that they re-affirm their obligation to rent to all military personnel on a non-discriminatory basis. Among the firms contacted was the Henshaw RentalCompany.
In April of 1973 advertisements were taken in local newspapers for the rental of Branders Bridge apartment units. As a consequence thereof at least one black officer, accompanied by a civilian employee of the Army Housing Referral Office went to the manager of Branders Bridge and filed an application for an apartment. Some few days thereafter a second black officer contacted the rental office expressing his interest in renting at Branders Bridge. Subsequent thereto the manager of Branders Bridge made an appointment to show the black officers the available apartments. Instead of so doing, however, the manager took them to a duplex in a racially transitional area of Petersburg which was then occupied predominantly by blacks.
