2014 witnesses general election in nine phases in India. Of course, no party ever wins with a majority and usually alliances form the government. However, the battle amongst Indian National Congress (Congress), Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) & debutant Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has created headlines. Indian markets keep a close watch on may 16 since it will decide the fate of the country.an AFP photographer at the scene.
The port call came on the eve of war games between the United States and Filipino troops in the Philippines, which is seen as a showcase of a long-standing military alliance that the Philippines is counting on to deter China.

It definitely added to the sensation we were trying to achieve as the car actually did appear and disappear into the darkness.

by NNI , (Last Updated June 2, 2012)
Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif on Saturday in his tent office at Minar-e-Pakistan continued to protest against the load-shedding in Punjab for the second consecutive day.
Shahbaz said that the first priority of government bodies should be the restoration of peace in the country.
Speaking to media representatives, he said that peace would automatically lead to greater employment opportunities.
“The politicians have driven the people to a point where they wanted employment and electricity instead of democracy”, Shahbaz said.
Criticising the Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP)-led government at the centre, Shahbaz said millions had been looted from the country in the past four years.
The country’s problems could only be resolved by voting out the current government, he said.

accentul de Liverpool, "pernă" suna ca "piernă"; și eu mi l-am modificat pe al meu, cel pe care îl foloseam la serviciu, care devenise vocea în care visam, pentru a-l face să nu pară îmbunătățit de orele de dicție, dar, spre satisfacția evidentă a lui Olly, tot aveam un accent "rafinat".
La locul meu de muncă de zi, de pe strada Prince, erau acele milioane de coduri. Poziția fiecăruia pe scara socială putea fi calibrată până la gradul _n_ dintr-o singură privire, și era mult mai greu să înveți regulile decât să identifici tablourile, pentru că scopul regulilor era tocmai acela că dacă făceai parte din cerc, nu trebuia să ți le spună nimeni. Orele petrecute învățând cum să vorbesc și cum să merg ar fi putut să măla dispoziție patruzeci de minute.

alte vase de cristal vechi și porțelanuri moderne, de un portocaliu aprins, imprimate cu numele vasului, _Mandarin_ – Steve mi-a făcut entuziasmat turul vasului. Am inspectat pista de aterizare pentru elicopter, am aflat despre blindajul cabinei în stil militar rusesc, despre balcoanele de pe punte, despre peretele din sticlă glisant al camerei de zi, despre compartimentul pasarelei extensibile – orice era aceea –, am revăzut tablourile de Picasso. Echipajul roia în jurul lui Steve precum peștele-pilot în jurul rechinului, cu un fel de telepatie antrenată, oferind o mână de ajutor la un prag sau un pahar aburit de apă Evian, fără ca acesta să fie cerut cu voce tare. Steve mi l-a prezentat pe căpitanul său, Jan, un norvegian scorțos, care zâmbea în mod profesionist la încercările stângaceale lui Steve, Tristan era băiatul lui de mingi, prietenul închiriat, angajat de formă la una dintre companiile lui Steve, care se afla acolo pentru a se ocupa de echipaj, a face rezervări la cluburi, a furniza cocaina și fetele aproape-modele, pentru că aceasta era distracția, nu? Așa te distrezi când ai făcut suficienți bani încât să îl faci pe Abramovici să roșească.
Dar uneori îl vedeam pe Steve, peste ringul de dans sau la o masă, atunci când trebuia să scoată cardul Amex și brusc toți întorceau privirea, cum dădea din cap năuc precum un urs care dansează. Nu-l puteam înțelege din punct de vedere sexual. În prima noapte am presupus că fusese pur și simplu obosit, dar, deși îmi spunea "iubito" sau "scumpo", nici măcar nu încerca

US advisers.
The New York Times said that Russian and Syrian officials had estimated that dozens of Russians had been killed.
US Central Command said on Tuesday that US forces came under fire from a tank, and that they responded with three hours of intense strikes from drones and B-52 bombers against the attackers, which it described as a unit of 300 to 500 fighters.
Air force Lt Gen Jeffrey Harrigan said US advisers had been in an operating base alongside units of the mostly-Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the course of anti-Isis operations, when they came under tank fire. He added that the senior officer at the base called in airstrikes in response.
Harrigan said the attacking forces were fighting on the side of Bashar al-Assad’s regime, but said heofficials owed the country an explanation.
“I demand an explanation as to why Russian nationals take part in ground military operations in Syria, despite the statements by the president and defense minister that Russian military formations will be withdrawn from this country,” Yavlinsky said.

A LGBTI festival in Haiti has been canceled due to governmental prohibition and its organizers receiving numerous threats of violence.
Massimadi, a four-day film, art and performance festival by LGBTI Haitians, was slated to start yesterday in the country’s capital, Port-au-Prince – but organizers celebrating the Afro-Carribean LGBTI community were threatened with arson and other forms of attack.
Among them is FOKAL, a prominent Haitian cultural institution.
According to Lorraine Mangones, Executive Director of non-profit group Knowledge & Freedom Foundation, the institution has been ‘receiving threats of outrageous violence’.
This was the first year Massimadi was scheduled to take place in Haiti – it was launched in 2009 in Montreal, and had also previously been held in Belgium without any problems.
‘There are very homophobic people who are against it,’ said Juedy Charlotwith the arrival of new coach Justin Fuente, Lawson opted for the JUCO route. Fuente had the following to say about his departure:
“Our coaches and staff at Virginia Tech invested significant effort in providing Dwayne the support and resources to be successful as a both a student and an athlete, as did coach [Frank] Beamer and his staff. After conversation with Dwayne, he felt leaving our football program would be in his best interest. We wish Dwayne the best at Hutchinson Community College.”
Lawson was originally rated as a four-star high school prospect by both ESPN and 247Sports; he was the No. 29 overall quarterback and No. 7 dual threat recruit. The Florida native once held other notable Power 5 scholarship offers from Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Michigan

weighed in with a scheduling decision.
The DEA can choose to schedule drugs in five categories. The most restrictive classification, Schedule I, includes drugs with no "currently accepted medical use in the United States, a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision, and a high potential for abuse." Marijuana remains scheduled in this category alongside heroin, LSD, and ecstasy.
Schedule II through Schedule V drugs have an accepted medical use. However, obstacles to prescribing and refilling prescriptions for drugs in these categories get progressively smaller, with Schedule V being the least restrictive scheduling category.
The FDA's Epidiolex approval sparked debate over which category it would wind up in.

After Mario and Luigi fix it, tons of stuff comes out of the pipe including a Sprixie Princess who explains that Bowswer has kidnapped other Sprixie Princesses and she needs help. Bowser comes through and re-traps the Sprixie and disappears into the pipe. Peach tries to save the Sprixie princess but falls down the pipe and so naturally the others jump in after her and they end up in the Sprixie Kingdom.

nose. The surgery was performed by Dr. Cheney, a third year Tulane resident. Before the surgery plaintiff's vision was normal. After the surgery, when plaintiff regained consciousness at about 4:00 p.m. he complained to the nurse that his vision was blurred. After performing a visual acuity test which plaintiff passed, the nurse was satisfied that his condition was not unusual. At about 10:00 p.m. after being removed to a private room, plaintiff became aware that he could not see out of his right eye. After an examination, it was determined that plaintiff had suffered total central retinal artery occlusion and was permanently blind in his right eye.
In reasons for judgment, the trial judge stated that this case was a classic one for the application of res ipsa loquiturbecause plaintiff's blindness occurred while he was under the exclusive control of the defendants. She reasoned that plaintiff suffered injury to a part of his body which was not involved in the surgery while he was under anesthesia and was entitled to recover pursuant to McCann v. Baton Rouge General Hospital, 276 So.2d 259 (La.1973). The court found that EENT was vicariously liable for the negligence of Dr. Cheney who was an employee of EENT and for the negligence of other EENT employees who failed to recognize and promptly treat plaintiff's blindness.
As to Dr. Blair the trial judge had this to say:

of epinephrine into the artery by way of the ethmoidal arteries; and this occurred when Dr. Cheney was making injections of the epinephrine around plaintiff's septum and other parts of his nose. The theory is that Dr. Cheney applied excessive pressure on the needle while it was in contact with a branch of the ethmoidal artery causing the flow of the solution back to the central retinal artery.
Dr. Blair was standing at the plaintiff's head observing Dr. Cheney making these injections. He had not scrubbed and was not taking part in the procedure. Dr. Cheney, as a third year resident, had performed this procedure on numerous occasions in the past. Dr. Blair saw him do nothing which was in any way wrong or out of the ordinary. Ifout more about this hero, did he match the profile of the other heroes who were all young men from the Religious Zionist camp? Well not only did he match that profile, but it turns out that he had a direct relationship to the heroes of the past attacks.
Well The Muqata did the homework, and look at this relationship between the latest group of heroes to emerge from the ranks of the religious Zionist camp -

But this week, they have placed him up at #5, just behind John McCain and above Mike Huckabee and Sam Brownback (the experts have banished Kucinich and Gravel from the Democratic ratings altogether). In ranking Paul fifth, the National Journal notes, "Look who's crashing the party! His $5 million is impressive because no one on the GOP side is raising BIG bucks."
But is Paul really a force to be reckoned with in this race? Apparently he is in cyberspace, at least. Following the most recent Republican debate, Paul's supporters apparently flooded the media's online polls which, as a result, v.

that populists most need – those who have stopped voting and have little connection to the mainstream parties.
Resisting the modern equivalent of John Knox’s “monstrous regiment of women” (he was on about female monarchs, but plus ça change) is often a theme of the new powerful misogyny. Trump exploited this against a female rival in Hillary Clinton, who was personally ill equipped to fight a battle against a new style of Republican foe. Enlightened but entitled was, it turned out, a poor mix for combating an insurgency, notwithstanding the blatant sexism of the Trump campaign.
The rise of women at work is only one part of the equation. The midwest and southern and “mountain” states, which helped Donald Trump to power, have relatively fewer women in the workplace than“Every aesthete in New York, Paris, and London wants to make a musical,” film critic Andrew Sarris joked at the height of French New Wave. As the Vietnam War escalated, one could have made a parallel assumption about another popular genre: Every Marxist intellectual wants to write a Western. The most notable was Franco Solinas (1927–1982), a teenaged partisan and longtime member of the Italian Communist Party, journalist for the Communist newspaper L’Unità, and author of Rosi’s Salvatore Giuliano, Pontecorvo’s The Battle of Algiers, and Costa Gavras’s State of Siege (to name a few). Solinas worked on four Spaghetti Westerns—all included in a three-week-long series at New York’s Film Forum that begins June 1—contributing to this wildly commercial and equally disreputable mode as decisively as director Sergio Leone

or composer Ennio Morricone.
A reader of Fanon (for the colonized, “having a gun is the only chance he still has of giving a meaning to his death”), as well as Gramsci (“to many common people the baroque and the operatic appear as an extraordinarily fascinating way of feeling and acting”), Solinas invented what might be termed the Third World Western. Around the time he wrote The Battle of Algiers, a near-newsreel representation of the conflict between European colonizers and the colonized wretched of the earth, he provided the treatment for Sergio Sollima’s The Big Gundown (1966). Lee Van Cleef, who had just played the villain in Leone’s The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966), was here cast as an implacable yet idealistic bounty-hunter, poised to run forhighly popular Broken Arrow (1950), notable for preaching peaceful coexistence between white settlers and their Apache neighbors, was written by (but not credited to) blacklisted red Albert Maltz; released the same year, The Devil’s Doorway, a less commercially successful but more militant brief on behalf of a mistreated Shoshone cavalryman, was written by Guy Trosper (designated a fellow traveler by the FBI) and, unlike Broken Arrow, praised for its political perspicuity by the Daily Worker, which recognized it as an allegory on the situation of African American veterans.
Addressing another aspect of the American West, two blacklisted Communists, Lester Cole and Marguerite Roberts, worked at various times on the script for the long-germinating Viva Zapata!, set during the early-twentieth-century Mexican Revolution and celebrating the radical agrarian reformer Emiliano Zapata—although

it was ultimately directed, from John Steinbeck’s screenplay, by a former Communist desperate to avoid the blacklist, Elia Kazan. Kazan strenuously promoted Viva Zapata! as an anti-Communist movie until the late ‘60s when he saw it as having a special significance for “disgruntled and rebellious people” throughout the world—a proto–Spaghetti Western.
By then, the Communist bloc was producing its own red Westerns. The international success of The Magnificent Seven (1960), also set in Mexico and the original example of what cultural historian Richard Slotkin termed the “counter-insurgency scenario,” is credited with inspiring a cycle of Soviet features. These crypto-Westerns featured Bolshevik civilizers pacifying the primitive Muslim regions of Central Asia—a Soviet wild east. At the same time, in part to counter the series of Karl May adaptations that werethe most popular West German movies of the 1960s, the East Germans developed the Indianerfilme.
Sons of the Great Bear, adapted in 1966 from a children’s novel by the Communist anthropologist Liselotte Welskopf-Henrich, established the template: Indian tribes, usually led by the Yugoslav bodybuilder Gojko Mitic, struggle against various combinations of avaricious settlers, mendacious military officers, corrupt lawmen, and rapacious imperialists. Populated by greedy seekers of lebensraum and loot, as well as whip-cracking martinets shouting in German at their presumed racial inferiors (often played by Slavs), these movies have an unintended subtext. Still, there is no missing that the forward march of history is embodied by enlightened Native Americans. In one movie, Mitic calls upon “Indians of all lands” to unite; in another he announces a domestic program based

on farming, animal husbandry, and light manufacturing.
Solinas’s Westerns resembled none of these, except perhaps as critiques of Viva Zapata!—the 1910–1920 Mexican Revolution being his main historical marker. He went deeper into the Mexican revolution with A Bullet for the General (1966), The Mercenary (1968), and Tepepa (1969) all of which told essentially the same story of European or North American freebooters who throw in their lot with revolutionary bandits. The premise is somewhat diluted in The Mercenary, directed by Sergio Corbucci, in which the protagonist pragmatically switches teams, abandoning the sleazy representative of Porfiro Diaz’s cruel military dictatorship for a more sympathetic if unstable rebel (despite his distaste for the bandit’s ultra-left mistress).
A Bullet for the General and Tepepa are less ambiguous in siding with social banditry andit would purchase ABI. Cendant made a tender offer for the purchase of ABI after a bidding war with American International Group, Inc. ("AIG"). Cendant filed a Schedule 14D-1 with the SEC on January 27, 1998, which included an offer by its subsidiary Season Acquisition Corp. to purchase ABI. Cendant later filed several amendments to the 14D-1 from March 1998 until October 1998. Plaintiffs allege that they purchased ABI stock in reliance on the materially false and misleading information contained in Cendant's offer to purchase, its 14D-1 schedules, and other documents and press releases related to the tender offer. They contend that Cendant's false and misleading statements caused the artificial inflation of the price of ABI's shares and that the true value of the securities they purchased was

Championship side Middlesbrough reached the Capital One Cup quarter-finals with a deserved win against Sunderland in the Wear-Tees derby.
Scott McDonald's neat finish close to half-time was enough for Boro to avenge last season's FA Cup fourth round exit by their Premier League rivals.
McDonald also hit the Sunderland bar, while Black Cats goalkeeper Keiren Westwood denied Faris Haroun.
Stephane Sessegnon went closest for the hosts after a powerful run and shot.
Australian striker McDonald's winner clinched a fifth straight win for in-form Middlesbrough, who had failed to beat Sunderland in the previous six meetings between the north-east rivals.
Boro on a roll 30 Oct: Sunderland (A) W 1-0
27 Oct: Bolton (H) W 2-1
23 Oct: Hull (H)W 2-0
20 Oct: Brighton (A) W 1-0
6 Oct: Watford (A) W 2-1
It proved an enjoyable return for Boro's former Black Cats players Justin Hoyte and, particularly, Grant Leadbitter - who grew up a Sunderland fan and spent seven years with the club before moving to Ipswich.
Former Boro player Lee Cattermole was given a cool reception by the away fans, while Adam Johnson was also unable to make an impression against the club where he too learned his trade.
Sunderland started brightly and Jason Steele was forced into an early save from England winger Johnson's inswinging corner.
However, Boro soon settled and enjoyed midfield dominance through the energetic Leadbitter and Nicky Bailey.
Faroun drilled wide from outside the box, before testing Westwood with another strike, and half chances for McDonald and Leadbitter

Pentecost were continuing “steadfast in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers…many signs and wonders were done through the apostles…and the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.” Acts 2: 42-47 Peter and John were going to the temple to pray when they met a lame man who had been carried daily at the gate of the temple called Beautiful, to ask alms of all who entered the temple. Perhaps he was begging there when the Savior was in Jerusalem! He asked alms of Peter and John but got something much better…”The faith which come through Him (Jesus) has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.” Acts 3:16 Peter used this occasion to preachbackground, use any shade of ink.
About 120 follower’s of Jesus were assembled in Jerusalem waiting for the promise of the Father. The Holy Spirit was given to fill them with the power needed to be His fearless witnesses “unto the uttermost part of the earth”, guide them into all truth and bring to remembrance all Christ had taught them. After being baptized with the Spirit on the day of Pentecost, Peter preached his first sermon and about 3,000 souls were added to the church. (Do you remember when Moses came down with the Law, he had to administer judgement as a result of the people’s idolatry and about 3,000 people perished?) “…for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.” 2 Corinthians 3:6.

Cannibal fruit
Three men who were lost in the forest were captured by cannibals. The cannibal king told the prisoners that they could live if they pass a trial. The first step of the trial was to go to the forest and get ten pieces of the same kind of fruit. So all three men went separate ways to gather fruits.
The first one came back and said to the king, "I brought ten apples." The king then explained the trial to him. "You have to shove the fruits up your butt without any expression on your face or you'll be eaten."
The first apple went in… but on the second one he winced out in pain, so he was killed.
The second one arrived and showed the king ten berries. WhenBREAKING NEWS: Former US attorney General Janet Reno Dies At 78
suffered from complications of Parkinson's
ABOVE VIDEO: The first woman Attorney General, who served under President Bill Clinton, Janet Reno, passed away today at the age of 78 from complications of Parkinson’s disease.
(FOX NEWS) – Janet Reno, the first woman to serve as U.S. attorney general and the epicenter of several political storms during the Clinton administration, has died. She was 78.
Reno died early Monday from complications of Parkinson’s disease, her goddaughter Gabrielle D’Alemberte said. D’Alemberte said Reno spent her final days at home in Miami surrounded by family and friends.
Reno, a former Miami prosecutor who famously told reporters “I don’t do spin,” served nearly eight years as attorney general under President Bill Clinton, the longest stint in a

Description: One of the very few countries that can claim to be rivals of team USA, Argentina became the first country to defeat a team of NBA players in 2002, and then became the first (and only) country to defeat them twice in 2004, en route to their high point of Olympic Gold. These days, Argentina generally gets by on reputation, as they are older, slower, and ravaged by injuries. Overlook them at your own peril though, because they know how to win and nobody has more big game experience.

Description: The perennial underdogsof the tournament, Australia loves to run and utilize the 3-point line.

division III team a poor man's division II team. Like Jordan, they're just happy to be in this competition. On paper they have athletes and have legit international size, but neither one has helped them beat Angola, and Angola is the least of their worries now.
Description: Slovenia has had a lot of recent success copying the Lithuanian model for growing a basketball program. Unlike Lithuania, they have not had matching success. They started out small, but have slowly gotten better every year, and this may be their best team ever. A well-rounded perimeter team that badly needs to taste some success in order to be recognized as an international power.
Description: The undisputed bullies on the block. They were unbeatable once, fell off for a brief period, and arenow back on top again. They field a deeper roster than anyone, play faster than anyone, and generally overwhelm you on talent alone. Their low points would double as high points for most other countries, and their down cycles are almost criminally short, as they re-load faster than anybody. Their presence alone does not guarentee victory anymore, but they never go into a game as underdogs. Beating them just once is a feather in any country's cap.

Description: What more can you say about China? Once the hottest name in international basketball, lack of results have grounded expectations for a team that was once the talk of the world. A team that loves to stock up talented big men, yet never seems to take proper advantage of them. They still love to tell anybody that will listen how good they are, but we'vewants to play, they reached their summit in the middle of this decade by winning the European championship in 2005, and followed that up by schooling an absurdly-talented team USA in the 2006 WBC semifinals, en route to a silver medal.
Description: The 2007 European champs have otherwise had relatively little success over the past decade, and their go-to guy (Andrei Kirilinko) is no longer with them. Russia remains team of impressive role players in dire need of a leader to galvanize them. Timofey Mozgov leads one of the biggest and most athletic frontlines in this competition.

Lebanon
FIBA World Ranking: 24th
NBA alums:
PF: Jackson Vroman (Hornets)
C: Matt Frejie (Wizards)
Description: The 2nd best team in Asia until the rise of Iran, Lebanon made big strides the last time they were here, beating France in the 2006 WBC and nearly qualifying for the playoffs. Perhaps the best player in their country's history, power forward Fadi El Khatib, is still there and that makes them dangerous yet again. Khatib gives Lebanon a personality and a veteran star, which alone makes them more dangerous than any of the other have-nots. They could sneak into the playoffs and nobody would besurprised.
Description: The comically-small country with a passionate following, they legitimately love the game as if they invented it themselves. After enjoying an extraordinary run of success, beating teams with deeper talent pools and far superior resources (including team USA), they've finally fallen off a bit recently, but remain a team you can't overlook. A team with a historical flare for the dramatic that's had more success than most, but hasn't been able to win the big one.

all that black. What they are is a team of scrappy, athletic floor-burners, that have surpassed the Aussies as the top dog in the Oceanic region. They might not win the game, but they'd compete pretty well in a street fight in the parking lot.
Description: Spain is the biggest threat to team USA in this tournament. Ironically, Spain's best chance to repeat as world champions might be if someone else gets to the Americans before they do. Spain plays the closest style to team USA of any team perhaps in the history of international play, and so they generally play right into the hands of the quicker, more athletic USA teams that love to go up and down the floor even more than Spain does. Spain did beatteam USA in 2002, but in the last eight years haven't been able to solve them, including crushing elimination defeats in the 2004 and 2008 Olympics, their only losses of either tourney. Their one world championship came in 2006, when Greece did them the favor of knocking off team USA in the semifinals.
Re: From Istanbul, Turkey, the 2010 World Basketball Championships thread
Motiejunas (for whatever reason) isn't playing, nor is Vesley.
USA is definitely the favorite, with Spain and Greece as the main challengers.
The dark horses are the usual suspects: Puerto Rico and Brazil. Argentina may or may not be on this list depending if Nocioni plays.
Lithuania, Turkey, France and Slovenia are all fun teams that aren't likely to make much noise.

2006: USA, Spain, Argentina and Greece.
Among the teams without a lot of NBA talent, Serbia is the one to watch, suspensions aside. They went with the youth movement a while back, and it's been paying off for them. They play in a very weak group as well, so they might actually make a serious run at a medal if the chips fall right.
Re: From Istanbul, Turkey, the 2010 World Basketball Championships thread
Don't think you will see Vesely's team in world championships or olympics any time soon, Czech's are in the lowest division, now fighting to move up, so next time they can try qualifying for Eurobasket. Jerebko is absolutely dominating that tournament.
Re: From Istanbul, Turkey, the 2010 World Basketball Championships thread
Group A:
Argentina and Serbia are the favourites toby the Blazers a few years back. Tibor Pleiss (Germany) was an OKC pick in last draft. Serbia will feature Nemanja Bjelica, a Wolves draft pick. Jackson Vroman will be playing for Lebanon. Marcus Vinicius (Brazil) played for the Hornets a couple of years ago.

in the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper.
"Likewise, the public presentation of Suarez as a new FC Barcelona player will be held on Monday at the Camp Nou, on occasion of the Joan Gamper Trophy match."
And that means he could make his debut against Mexican club Leon in the Gamper Trophy, the traditional curtain-raiser to the season at the Camp Nou.
There will be a temptation to give the 27-year-old a run-out against Leon as it will be Barcelona's final friendly before their first league game of the new season against Elche next weekend.
Suarez has reportedly been training on his own in an unknown location in Catalonia since completing his 95 million euros (£75 million, $127 million) move to the Camp Nou from Liverpool last month.
He will be available to playin competitive matches from Saturday, October 25, meaning his official debut could come in the first Clasico of the campaign against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu, which has been scheduled for that weekend.
Suarez was banned for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup but despite the player being allowed to resume training, Uruguayan football officials are still "frustrated" with the handling of the controversy.
Uruguayan Football Federation lawyer Daniel Cravo told Sky Sports News: "We are really frustrated -- we understand that the behaviour of Luis Suarez in that match deserved to be punished but we don't think that it was the worst behaviour of a player in a World Cup.
"There have been worse situations and the players were not sanctioned at this level but of course

Welcome to Inner Mongolia
Travellers heading north of the Great Wall might half-expect to see Mongol hordes galloping through the vast grasslands. The reality is rather different: the 21st-century Chinese province of Inner Mongolia (内蒙古; Nèi Měnggǔ) is a wholly separate place from the neighbouring country of Mongolia itself. The more-visited south of the province is industrialised, prosperous and very much within the realm of China’s modern economic miracle.
Having said that, Inner Mongolia is more than nine times the size of England and the Mongolia of your dreams can be found off the tourist route, amid the shimmering sand dunes of the Badain Jaran Desert or the vast grasslands in the north. Some effort is required to reach these areas, but the spectacular scenery can make it an unforgettablethe target female to have poorer mental health when he overheard her fat talking versus self-accepting. Further, his desire for a more exclusive committed relationship was stronger when she was described as leaner, especially for the lower self-esteemed men. As a pilot study, this has implications for interventions to decrease women's fat talk and begins research on the dynamic interplay between women's fat talk and heterosexual courtships.

Bhubaneswar, Jan. 16: BJD supremo and chief minister Naveen Patnaik has a packed tour programme till the end of February. He has been making frequent visits to various parts of the state and even attending college functions to boost his public image ahead of the elections.
If he continues to go at this pace, by the end of February, he will have touched almost all the 30 districts.

Though Naveen did not celebrate the New Year’s eve this year as a mark of respect for the Delhi gang-rape victim, he went to Puri to have a darshan of Lord Jagannath. The next day, Naveen announced the implementation of the Odisha Public Rights Act, empowering people to get specific public services within a fixed time frame.
Even his daily routine has changed. Earlier, Naveen used to avoid leaving home before 11am. However, he now comes out before that. Today, before going on a one-day visit to Puri district, he came to Rama Devi Womens’ College in the city in the morning and interacted with the students.

The entire 2.82 acres was not included in the area described in the distiller's notice, Form 27-A, required by Title 26, Chapter I, of the 1940 Regulations.[6] Part of the property not included was improved by an office building and other construction; part was unimproved. The Director, Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Division of the Internal Revenue Service, has stated: "We would not consider the lien under section 2800 (e) as attaching to land or buildings other than as described in Form 27-A".
In the operation of the distillery and warehouse Sherwood gave bonds to the United States as required by law. By bond dated April 18, 1941, designated a Transportation and Warehousing Bond, Sherwood, with Aetna as its surety, bound itself to the

United States in the penal sum of $200,000. The condition of the bond was that Sherwood should pay or cause to be paid the tax imposed by law then or thereafter in force together with interest and penalties on all distilled spirits then or thereafter deposited in the warehouse, before the withdrawal therefrom and within eight years from the date of the first entry thereof, as well as on distilled spirits then or thereafter in transit thereto from any other Internal Revenue Bonded Warehouse, and further that it should comply with all other requirements of law and regulations respecting such distilled spirits and the warehouse in which they were deposited.
*385 By Consent of Surety dated March 27, 1945, Sherwood and Aetna consented that the Transportation and Warehousing Bondof April 18, 1941, be changed "to support Distiller's Bond, Form 30, executed March 27, 1945, effective May 1, 1945, in the penal sum of $100,000 and written without surety to cover the operation of Registered Distillery No. 12." The effective date of the Consent was May 1, 1945. The obligors agreed to remain bound by the terms of the bond as changed to all intents and purposes as if a new bond with such terms were currently executed. By the Distiller's Bond, Form 30, Sherwood bound itself (and by its Consent, Aetna became bound) to the United States in the penal sum of $100,000 for the faithful compliance of all provisions of law and regulations relating to the duties and business of distillers and the payment of

all penalties or fines imposed upon it in that connection and the payment of all taxes imposed then or thereafter by law together with penalties and interest on distilled spirits produced by it.[7]
On March 30, 1946, Sherwood executed a similar Distiller's Bond in favor of the United States covering the period beginning May 1, 1946, and on the same day Sherwood as principal and Aetna as surety executed another and similar Consent of Surety to support the new Distiller's Bond. Aetna was therefore bound as surety on the two Distiller's Bonds, each in the amount of $100,000, covering the respective periods May 1, 1945, to April 30, 1946, and May 1, 1946, to April 30, 1947. During each of those two fiscal years Sherwood distilled certain spirits; asJuly 25, 1957, were distilled by Sherwood between December 27, 1945, and April 1, 1947, at its plant. They were owned by Sherwood and remained in storage at the warehouse until eight years from the date of their distillation.[9]
The spirits which were the subject of the assessments were sold by Sherwood for amounts which were not sufficient to pay the taxes, penalties and interest on them. The proceeds of the sales were transmitted to the Internal Revenue Service. The difference between the amounts realized from the sales and the total amounts claimed as due by the Internal Revenue Service for taxes, penalties and interest was $159,535.57. That amount was paid by Aetna, which has since received $5,000.00 reimbursement from Sherwood.

Chapter 25 - The Love Story Of The Awkward Man
(Written by the Story Girl)
Jasper Dale lived alone in the old homestead which he had named Golden Milestone. In Carlisle this giving one's farm a name was looked upon as a piece of affectation; but if a place must be named why not give it a sensible name with some meaning to it? Why Golden Milestone, when Pinewood or Hillslope or, if you wanted to be very fanciful, Ivy Lodge, might be had for the taking?
He had lived alone at Golden Milestone since his mother's death; he had been twenty then and he was close upon forty now, though he did not look it. But neither could it be said that he looked young; he had never at

She went in, expecting to see bare walls and a collection of odds and ends. Instead she found herself in a finely furnished room. Delicate lace curtains hung before the small, square, broad-silled windows. The walls were adorned with pictures in much finer taste than Mrs. Griggs could appreciate. There was a bookcase between the windows filled with choicely bound books. Beside it stood a little table with a very dainty work-basket on it. By the basket Mrs. Griggs saw a pair of tiny scissors and a silver thimble. A wicker rocker, comfortable with silk cushions, was near it. Above the bookcase a woman's picture hung--a water-colour, if Mrs. Griggs had but known it--representing a pale, very sweet face, with large, dark eyes and a wistful expression underloose masses of black, lustrous hair. Just beneath the picture, on the top shelf of the bookcase, was a vaseful of flowers. Another vaseful stood on the table beside the basket.
All this was astonishing enough. But what puzzled Mrs. Griggs completely was the fact that a woman's dress was hanging over a chair before the mirror--a pale blue, silken affair. And on the floor beside it were two little blue satin slippers!
Good Mrs. Griggs did not leave the room until she had thoroughly explored it, even to shaking out the blue dress and discovering it to be a tea-gown--wrapper, she called it. But she found nothing to throw any light on the mystery. The fact that the simple name "Alice" was written on the fly-leaves of all the

books only deepened it, for it was a name unknown in the Dale family. In this puzzled state she was obliged to depart, nor did she ever find the door unlocked again; and, discovering that people thought she was romancing when she talked about the mysterious west gable at Golden Milestone, she indignantly held her peace concerning the whole affair.
But Mrs. Griggs had told no more than the simple truth. Jasper Dale, under all his shyness and aloofness, possessed a nature full of delicate romance and poesy, which, denied expression in the common ways of life, bloomed out in the realm of fancy and imagination. Left alone, just when the boy's nature was deepening into the man's, he turned to this ideal kingdom for all he believed thereal world could never give him. Love--a strange, almost mystical love--played its part here for him. He shadowed forth to himself the vision of a woman, loving and beloved; he cherished it until it became almost as real to him as his own personality and he gave this dream woman the name he liked best-- Alice. In fancy he walked and talked with her, spoke words of love to her, and heard words of love in return. When he came from work at the close of day she met him at his threshold in the twilight-- a strange, fair, starry shape, as elusive and spiritual as a blossom reflected in a pool by moonlight--with welcome on her lips and in her eyes.
One day, when he was in Charlottetown

on business, he had been struck by a picture in the window of a store. It was strangely like the woman of his dream love. He went in, awkward and embarrassed, and bought it. When he took it home he did not know where to put it. It was out of place among the dim old engravings of bewigged portraits and conventional landscapes on the walls of Golden Milestone. As he pondered the matter in his garden that evening he had an inspiration. The sunset, flaming on the windows of the west gable, kindled them into burning rose. Amid the splendour he fancied Alice's fair face peeping archly down at him from the room. The inspiration came then. It should be her room; he would fit it upfor her; and her picture should hang there.
He was all summer carrying out his plan. Nobody must know or suspect, so he must go slowly and secretly. One by one the furnishings were purchased and brought home under cover of darkness. He arranged them with his own hands. He bought the books he thought she would like best and wrote her name in them; he got the little feminine knick-knacks of basket and thimble. Finally he saw in a store a pale blue tea-gown and the satin slippers. He had always fancied her as dressed in blue. He bought them and took them home to her room. Thereafter it was sacred to her; he always knocked on its door before he entered; he kept it sweet with fresh

flowers; he sat there in the purple summer evenings and talked aloud to her or read his favourite books to her. In his fancy she sat opposite to him in her rocker, clad in the trailing blue gown, with her head leaning on one slender hand, as white as a twilight star.
But Carlisle people knew nothing of this--would have thought him tinged with mild lunacy if they had known. To them, he was just the shy, simple farmer he appeared. They never knew or guessed at the real Jasper Dale.
One spring Alice Reade came to teach music in Carlisle. Her pupils worshipped her, but the grown people thought she was rather too distant and reserved. They had been used to merry, jolly girls who joined eagerly in thesocial life of the place. Alice Reade held herself aloof from it--not disdainfully, but as one to whom these things were of small importance. She was very fond of books and solitary rambles; she was not at all shy but she was as sensitive as a flower; and after a time Carlisle people were content to let her live her own life and no longer resented her unlikeness to themselves.
She boarded with the Armstrongs, who lived beyond Golden Milestone around the hill of pines. Until the snow disappeared she went out to the main road by the long Armstrong lane; but when spring came she was wont to take a shorter way, down the pine hill, across the brook, past Jasper Dale's garden, and out through his lane.

And one day, as she went by, Jasper Dale was working in his garden.
He was on his knees in a corner, setting out a bunch of roots--an unsightly little tangle of rainbow possibilities. It was a still spring morning; the world was green with young leaves; a little wind blew down from the pines and lost itself willingly among the budding delights of the garden. The grass opened eyes of blue violets. The sky was high and cloudless, turquoise-blue, shading off into milkiness on the far horizons. Birds were singing along the brook valley. Rollicking robins were whistling joyously in the pines. Jasper Dale's heart was filled to over-flowing with a realization of all the virgin loveliness around him; the feeling in his soul had the sacredness ofa prayer. At this moment he looked up and saw Alice Reade.
She was standing outside the garden fence, in the shadow of a great pine tree, looking not at him, for she was unaware of his presence, but at the virginal bloom of the plum trees in a far corner, with all her delight in it outblossoming freely in her face. For a moment Jasper Dale believed that his dream love had taken visible form before him. She was like--so like; not in feature, perhaps, but in grace and colouring--the grace of a slender, lissome form and the colouring of cloudy hair and wistful, dark gray eyes, and curving red mouth; and more than all, she was like her in expression--in the subtle revelation of personality exhaling from

the picture and from his dreams. When he tried to think of the Alice he loved he saw, not the shadowy spirit occupant of the west gable, but the young girl who had stood under the pine, beautiful with the beauty of moonlight, of starshine on still water, of white, wind-swayed flowers growing in silent, shadowy places. He did not then realize what this meant: had he realized it he would have suffered bitterly; as it was he felt only a vague discomfort--a curious sense of loss and gain commingled.
He saw her again that afternoon on her way home. She did not pause by the garden but walked swiftly past. Thereafter, every day for a week he watched unseen to see her pass his home. Once a littlechild was with her, clinging to her hand. No child had ever before had any part in the shy man's dream life. But that night in the twilight the vision of the rocking-chair was a girl in a blue print dress, with a little, golden-haired shape at her knee--a shape that lisped and prattled and called her "mother;" and both of them were his.
It was the next day that he failed for the first time to put flowers in the west gable. Instead, he cut a loose handful of daffodils and, looking furtively about him as if committing a crime, he laid them across the footpath under the pine. She must pass that way; her feet would crush them if she failed to see them. Then he slipped

passed when he, not expecting her, was leaning against his garden fence with a book in his hand. She stopped under the pine.
"Mr. Dale," she said softly, "I want to thank you for your flowers."
Jasper, startled, wished that he might sink into the ground. His anguish of embarrassment made her smile a little. He could not speak, so she went on gently.
"It has been so good of you. They have given me so much pleasure-- I wish you could know how much."
"It was nothing--nothing," stammered Jasper. His book had fallen on the ground at her feet, and she picked it up and held it out to him.
She carried the book away with her. He did not again hide when she passed, and when she brought the book backthey talked a little about it over the fence. He lent her others, and got some from her in return; they fell into the habit of discussing them. Jasper did not find it hard to talk to her now; it seemed as if he were talking to his dream Alice, and it came strangely natural to him. He did not talk volubly, but Alice thought what he did say was worth while. His words lingered in her memory and made music. She always found his flowers under the pine, and she always wore some of them, but she did not know if he noticed this or not.
One evening Jasper walked shyly with her from his gate up the pine hill. After that he always walked that far with

Seizing on the sensational crime as Exhibit A in a rushed campaign to push through the measure, Hong Kong's chief executive, Carrie Lam, and her superiors in the Chinese leadership seemed confident they had a winning strategy. Loading Replay Replay video Play video Play video As it turned out, they badly underestimated public fear and suspicion of Beijing's encroachment on this semi-autonomous former British colony. The gambit provoked Hong Kong's largest protests in decades while also revitalising the territory's beleaguered pro-democracy opposition. In a rare retreat for President Xi Jinping's hard-line government, Lam finally yielded to the pressure at the weekend, suspending her push for the legislation while resisting demands to withdraw it completely and resign. From the start, critics labelled the extradition plan a "Trojan horse" thatwould allow Beijing to target political dissidents and others in Hong Kong who ran afoul of party officials.
As popular outrage spread, Lam and her allies stuck to the script, arguing that Hong Kong needed the bill to bring Chan to justice – even after the authorities in Taiwan made clear that was not true. Taiwanese officials said as early as May that they would not seek Chan's extradition under the proposed legislation. Their objection echoed that of the people of Hong Kong: the courts and security forces in mainland China, all controlled by the ruling Communist Party, could not be trusted. Lam's repeated invocation of the Poon family's grief was seen as just "political opportunism at its worst", said Dennis Kwok, an opposition MP. Protesters call on Hong

Before the couple set off for Taiwan last year, Poon gushed on Facebook, "He said I am his first and last girlfriend." Loading They spent Valentine's Day together in Taipei, Taiwan's capital, but two days later had a fight that stretched into the early morning. The pink suitcase Poon had bought a pink suitcase at one of Taipei's famed night markets, and they argued about how their luggage should be packed, Chan would later tell investigators, according to The South China Morning Post.
Then, according to the account he provided the police, Poon revealedthat an ex-boyfriend was the father of the child she was pregnant with, and showed Chan a video of her having sex with another man. In a rage, Chan hit her head against a wall, struggled with her on the floor of their hotel room for about 10 minutes and strangled her, he said. He stuffed her body into a suitcase and went to sleep. When Poon failed to return home, her father started a frantic search. Chan told him the couple had had an argument and "went our separate ways," according to Taiwan News. The police in Hong Kong questioned Chan, and he told them the same. But then authorities in Taiwan retrieved surveillance footage that showed Chan struggling to drag a pink suitcase out of their

against the measure in March, and in April, tens of thousands rallied against it outside the Legislative Council. MPs arguing about the bill scuffled in the legislature; one was carried out on a stretcher. Lam, a career servant who was installed by Beijing in 2017, assured the public that the legislation would not apply to political crimes. But even within her insular council of advisers – like herself, unelected – there was unease. The territory's top finance officials, for example, were dismayed when they learnt the bill would also allow Beijing to begin requesting freezes on assets in Hong Kong.
Then in May, Taiwan dramatically undercut Lam's argument by declaring it would not seek Chan's extradition even if the bill passed. "Without the removal of threats to the personalsafety of nationals going to or living in Hong Kong caused by being extradited to mainland China," said Chiu, the deputy minister, "we will not agree to the case-by-case transfer proposed by the Hong Kong authorities." I cannot promise you that the criminal who murdered your daughter would get his punishment through the law. Carrie Lam, Hong Kong chief executive Lam has said she decided to pursue the extradition law herself, without prodding from Xi or other Chinese leaders. But China's propaganda outlets took a hard line against the protesters, accusing them of conspiring with China's enemies abroad, and several senior Communist Party officials in Beijing endorsed the legislation. That helped transform the debate into a broader fight over the erosion of civil liberties under Chinese rule –

and Hong Kong's future as a global financial center.
The protests begin For five years, since the failure of the Umbrella Movement demanding free elections, Hong Kong's pro-democracy opposition had been on the defensive. But the extradition bill gave it a chance to rally the public against something easy to understand: the possibility of being arrested and sent to mainland China. Protest organisers said as many as two million people in a city of about 7.4 million marched against the legislation on Sunday, about double the number estimated to have marched the previous weekend. Even after the repudiation from Taiwan, Lam continued to invoke Chan to defend the bill, acknowledging only that there would be "latent difficulties" extraditing him under the measure if it was passed.

Some had flown in from Beijing, and a few of the party's top experts on Hong Kong were there, too. (Xi was out of the country, celebrating his birthday with President Vladimir Putin of Russia at a regional summit in Tajikistan.) There was a consensus. Given the public's reaction, Lam should delay the legislation indefinitely.
Announcing the decision on Saturday, she raised Chan's case again in defending the measure but finally acknowledged that Taiwan's position meant there was no rush to pass it. "We will adopt the most sincere and humble

(CNN) Director Steven Spielberg says casting a female to play the iconic role of Indiana Jones could actually become a reality.
"We'd have to change the name from Jones to Joan," Spielberg told The Sun in a recent interview. "And there would be nothing wrong with that."
Spielberg has had no problem putting women front and center in his movies. Last year, he directed the "The Post," which featured a strong female protagonist, Katharine Graham, the former publisher of the Washington Post. It appears that the women in his personal life have been an influence on him.
"I have been very lucky to be influenced by women, several of whom I have just loved madly — my mom and my wife," he told The Sun. Spielberg is married to actress KatePhoto Flash: First Look at John Ellingson and Henry Martin in NWCT's SEUSSICAL
Join Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz and the Cat in the Hat in this musical adventure through the limitless imagination of Dr. Seuss. From the tiny land of Who-Ville to the Jungle of Nool, Seuss's timeless tales leap from page to stage.
Seussical first opened on Broadway in the fall of 2000. In 2004, it was reworked by Theatreworks USA, streamlining the story and retooling some of the songs and dialogue. The new version has enjoyed huge success across two US tours, a run in London's West End, and in children's theaters across the country, including NWCT, which previously produced the show in 2006.

Knew too much: Carer Curtis Smith, left, was executed in July 2008 with a machine gun by

Clifford's brother Andrew Denty, right
But, although he was confined to a wheelchair, Denty continued his drug dealing activities to fund a luxurious lifestyle.
But when his main carer, Curtis Smith, realised the extent of his illicit activities, Denty and his brother Andrew decided he had to be silenced.
Andrew Denty shot Mr Smith repeatedly in the head with machine gun.
In the wake of the killing, the NHS withdrew Clifford Denty’s care and said if he wanted further help he would have to move into a residential home.
He refused and stayed in the family home. In October last year, he died in his sleep from pneumonia and blood poisoning.
Astonishingly, despite the £1.5million of taxpayers money spent on Denty’s care, his family are threatening to sue the NHS for negligence. The family’sand settled in Streatham, south London.
'Fair crack of the whip'
Shortly after her death, Clifford and his brothers found themselves being cared for by members of the extended family and quickly descended into a life of crime.
In March 1997 Clifford admitted 14 counts of robbery and was jailed for six years. He served less than five, and was released on licence in September 2001.
Just months after his release he was shot in the back of the neck outside a south London nightclub and left paralysed from the neck down. He spent three years in hospital but returned home in a wheelchair to run his drugs empire with his brothers.
The local Primary Care Trust spent tens of thousands of pounds converting his council house near Waterloo Station to take his

A FORMER New Zealand policeman has fingered another ex-officer over the infamous cold-case murder of 18-year-old Mona Blades - prompting the suspect's daughter to look at legal action.
Tony Moller said information he had compiled led police to spend yesterday morning probing the concrete pad of a house in Kirk Cres, Kawerau, where he served as a sergeant for a decade.
He has accused former close friend Derrick Hinton of being behind the disappearance of Ms Blades more than 30 years ago, and is adamant the body remains beneath the floor of the house the traffic officer once owned.
Mr Hinton, a former traffic officer and now dead, reportedly told police when questioned: "If you think it was me, prove it."
Ms Blades was hitch-hiking

from Hamilton to Hastings on May 31, 1975, when she disappeared without a trace.
A truck driver saw her getting into an orange Datsun 120Y stationwagon on the Taupo-Napier road.
Other witnesses reported seeing a vehicle like that veering off the state highway and stopping on rural Matea Rd.
After receiving information last year, police visited the former Hinton home and carried out sonar work.
Yesterday, they returned with a concrete cutter to dig up the floor of the laundry.
Mr Moller watched as excavators drilled 80cm, then probed a further 80cm without finding anything of interest to the case.
Last night, Mr Hinton's daughter Pauline Barratt said she was not surprised the investigators had not found anything.
She said that while her father did own an orange stationwagon, it was a Toyota Corolla.
She alsoproperty - but in another part of the section.
"So do they," he said, pointing to the present homeowners. "They believe somebody's down there, under the stairwell.
"But we can't take it much further unless you find some evidence or unless they decided to dig up more of their house".
Mr Moller said he would pursue the case until it was solved.
The homeowners declined to comment.
Kawerau Mayor Malcolm Campbell said there had been "a lot of buzz" around Mr Moller's theory for years, to the point that Mr Hinton's old home was known locally as "The House".
"You can talk to anybody about it and they've all got their theories," he said.
"To be fair to both sides, it's probably the best thing that's ever happened for us here in Kawerau, because it's

The Milan-Mumbai route has been terminated and the Milan-Delhi service will cease operating Mar 31. The originating traffic between India and Italy is probably not large enough to provide enough business for all the present airlines (ie Air India, Alitalia and Air Italy) which provide direct air services between the two countries.
One of Lufthansa's Airbus A380 aircraft is named "Delhi". Lufthansa operates a daily Airbus A380 service from Frankfurt to Delhi. The two other airlines flying Airbus A380 aircraft to India are Emirates (Dubai to Mumbai) and Singapore Airlines (Singapore to Delhi).

The United States Embassy in Libreville, Gabon was bombed on 5 March 1964 and again on 8 March.
Background
Two weeks before the bombings, Gabon had undergone an abortive coup d'état against its president, Leon M'ba. Following the attempted coup, some Gabonese mistakenly identified the United States as a co-conspirator in the attempted coup. Time asserted that French officials helped spread the rumor of American involvement in the coup.
Bombings
On 5 March, William F. Courtney, deputy chief of the embassy, received a call from a man identifying himself as DuPont and demanding all Americans leave Gabon. Two other phone calls threatening an imminent attack were received by the United States Information Service. During a rainstorm about 8:15 that night, a small bomb exploded outside the

embassy. The explosion, which occurred at a time when the building was closed and locked, resulted in damage to the embassy sign and the cracking of two windows.
Following the bombing, French Gabonese made more threatening phone calls to the embassy. A second bomb exploded roughly 50 feet from the embassy two nights later, causing no damage. A drive-by shooting, during which at least five rounds of buckshot were fired from a 12-gauge automatic shotgun, riddled the second story windows with over 30 holes. William Courtney, the American chargé d'affaires, noticed two Europeans in a Simca automobile drive past the embassy at roughly 9:20 PM, one hour before the shooting and bombing. An unnamed American official said that he saw a car circle the embassy 10 minutes afterFriday, October 13, 2017
Farm to Post is the dinner series at Back Bay's Post 390 that showcases the local farmers and New England producers the restaurant works with. I attended a pork dinner last year featuring Dogpatch Farm and I had another opportunity to attend a special dinner recently. In September, Post 390 held a "Foraged and Wild" dinner featuring (you guessed it) foraged ingredients.
Each Farm to Post dinner always starts with a cocktail reception with passed hors d'oeuvres. This year's most popular appetizer was probably the fried Damariscotta oyster (from Maine) with creamed wild spinach and bacon.

to 1970, Comer served on active duty in the United States Army. From 1968 to 1969, he served in Vietnam, where his duties included guarding an ammunition depot that was, he asserts, "under mortar attack almost every night."
On December 29, 1988, Comer, acting pro se, filed a claim for disability benefits with the Waco, Texas, Regional Office ("RO") of the Department of Veterans Affairs ("VA"). He claimed entitlement to service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder ("PTSD"), asserting that he suffered from nightmares, depression and headaches. Although he was rated as 30 percent disabled due to PTSD, the RO declined to award him disability benefits, concluding that the evidence did not establish that his PTSD was connected to his Vietnam service.
On February 26, 1999, Comer asked that his originalexamining physician diagnosed him with PTSD and noted that, since his last C & P exam, he had had "no stable job." The physician further observed that Comer reported having "nightmares and flashbacks about the war once weekly" and that these nightmares increased when he was under stress. Following the C & P exam, the RO assigned Comer an increased disability rating of 70 percent and, based on his demonstrated employment problems, granted him TDIU benefits. Both the 70 percent disability rating and the TDIU award were effective as of May 5, 2004, the date of the C & P exam.
Subsequently, on February 16, 2005, the board denied Comer's request for an increased rating for the period from February 26, 1999, to May 5, 2004. It also *1366

court has not been provided with a complete record of all communications between Comer and the VA, there is evidence that at several points during his seemingly interminable struggle to obtain disability benefits, he made very specific allegations explaining why he believed that the original RO decision denying service connection contained clear error. For example, in 1999, Comer wrote to the board, stating that the RO's determination that he was only a "part packer" while in Vietnam was "grossly erroneous." He explained that orders, which had been "cut in country," had assigned him to infantry duties, and that he could therefore not understand how the VA could have determined that his PTSD was not connected to his Vietnam service. Likewise, in November 2000, Comer wrote to the boardOne man is behind bars after firing shots into a neighboring home with children inside.
Walton County Sheriff's Deputies responded to a rental property on West Grove Avenue just after 8 a.m. Thursday morning.
The group staying in the rental property told officials they heard what they initially thought was fireworks late Wednesday night.
"Majority of the people heard a bang, assumed it was a firecracker, kind of scratched their head if it was a gunshot," said one of the renters Chuch Spohn.
When Spohn and the rest of his group woke up in the morning, they noticed one of the upstairs bathroom windows with gunshot holes.
"Well, there were children in the room. Parent and children were in that room and that's pretty traumatizing. Could have been a lot worse," said Spohn.

doing, we will not endure the shame of death, but be built into this spiritual house of God.
From the beginning, all creation was supposed to be a temple where God was worshiped and glorified and where men and women entered into communion with God. By their sin, however, Adam and Eve disobeyed God and lost the grace of holiness and justice. Creation needed a redeemer so that man could once again worship and glorify his creator and enter into communion with him. God later established a covenant with the people of Israel and provided a model for the tabernacle, where he would dwell with his people. Like the Adam and Eve, the people of Israel broke God's covenant and sinned. They worshiped the golden calf instead of theGod of their fathers.
Centuries later, God established a covenant with David and promised that one of his descendants will build him a house: "I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come forth from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever. I will be his father and he shall be my son" (2 Samuel 7:12-13). This promise to David is partially fulfilled through Solomon, David's son, who build the temple in Jerusalem, but is ultimately fulfilled through Jesus Christ, the Son of David. Jesus is the one who truly builds a house for God's name. Through Jesus, we can respond to God's original call to be

a royal priesthood and a holy nation. This is what God wanted from the beginning.
Jesus, then, is the Way that leads to this communion with God. He is the Truth that reveals the Father. He is the Life, given to us on earth through faith and in the Eucharist. Through the sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation we are consecrated to be a holy priesthood: "The whole community of believers, as such, is priestly. The faithful exercise their baptismal priesthood through their participation, each according to his own vocation, in Christ's mission as priest, prophet, and king" (CCC 1546). The common priesthood of the faithful is exercised by the unfolding of baptismal grace - a life of faith, hope, and charity - a life according to the Spirit.
Priests andbishops also share in the ministerial priesthood, which is at the service of the common priesthood of the faithful. The ministerial priesthood has the task not only of representing Christ - the Head of the Church - before the assembly of the faithful, but also of acting in the name of the whole Church when presenting to God the prayer of the Church and when offering the Eucharistic sacrifice. Deacons, mentioned in today's first reading, do not receive the ministerial priesthood (CCC, 1596), but do receive the first degree of the Sacrament of Holy Orders. They are configured to Christ who made himself the deacon or servant of all. They assist the bishop and priest in the celebration of divine mysteries (the liturgy), in the proclamation of the

I recently read that Keith Richards has confessed to a secret longing to be a librarian. Yes, THAT Keith Richards, he of the Rolling Stones, the greatest rock and roll band of all times in the opinion of many! Isn’t that an interesting visual??
He has said he has been “quietly nurturing his inner bookworm” and considered some type of training (that would be librarianship!) to manage the 1000’s of books at his various homes. He says he started to arrange his books in categories but gave up, instead opting to keep his favorites close at hand. He also loans books to friends with little hope of getting them back and leaves books by the bedside for guests in his homes.

I expect we’ll be ordering his book for our collection; how could we not when he writes that the public library is one of two institutions that affect one most powerfully! By the way, the other is the church, he says.

overloaded fishing boat into a merchant ship that had come to rescue it, last Sunday.
The boat capsized with hundreds of migrants allegedly locked in its lower decks and unable to get out.
The death toll is believed to be the highest from a single such incident.
At the scene: Paul Adams, BBC News, Catania
The young man accused of being the captain whose reckless actions may have caused the deaths of hundreds of migrants has not yet been formally charged.
But after four hours of testimony from one Gambian survivor, Mohammed Ali Malek's lawyer says his client is anxious to speak and clear his name.
For now, as he sits behind bars, the 27-year-old Tunisian is the face of a human trafficking phenomenon that EU leaders seem determined to combat.
But he is unlikelyto be anything more than a small player in a huge, dirty business run by powerful Libyan militias and smugglers.
The Italian authorities have already arrested hundreds just like him, but the trade in human beings continues to grow.
Mr Malek's lawyer has told journalists that his client was a migrant on the boat, not a smuggler, and believes he is being accused because he "was the only one with a lighter skin" that survived the shipwreck.
Prosecutors want to bring charges of causing a shipwreck, multiple first degree homicides and being accomplice to clandestine immigration against Mr Malek.
They also accuse another crew member, a 25-year-old Syrian named Mahmud Bihit, of being an accomplice to clandestine immigration.
He is reported to be one of the survivors to identify his co-accused as the

ance Underwriting Association (NCIUA),6 as well as the Glasgow
Hicks Company (Glasgow Hicks), the independent insurance agency
through which Battle purchased his SFIP. Glasgow Hicks is located
in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Battle's complaint alleged multiple claims, but the only claims at
issue in the present appeal are his claims against SCIC and Seibels
Bruce: (1) breach of contract; (2) breach of the implied covenant of
good faith and fair dealing; and (3) conversion.7
____________________________________________________________

By mistake, Battle originally named the North Carolina Joint Under-
writing Association rather than the NCIUA as a defendant. Battle's
claims against the NCIUA concerned separate dwelling and crime poli-
cies allegedly issued by NCIUA with respect to the Property.

Battle's claims for conversion against SCIC and Seibels Brucehis cause of
action. See United States v. Kubrick, 444 U.S. 111, 122-24 (1979). All
of the information in the September 24, 1996 letter and the fact that
the cover page of Battle's SFIP listed SCIC as a subsidiary company
of "THE SEIBELS BRUCE INSURANCE COMPANIES," at a mini-
mum, gave Battle sufficient facts about the alleged harm done to him
(i.e., denial of the Bertha Claim) that reasonable inquiry would have
revealed his cause of action. In short, Battle was on inquiry notice that
SCIC had denied his Bertha Claim at the time he received the Sep-
tember 24, 1996 letter. Thus, his breach of contract claim, filed
almost three years after his receipt of the September 24, 1996 letter,
is untimely under the twelve-month limitation period set forth in Arti-
cle 9(R) of Battle's SFIP.

The computer system for the Los Angeles Unified School District faltered Thursday, leaving school staff unable to access records and leaving students without class schedules just days before the school year starts next week.
The line of parents and students at Van Nuy’s High School stretched down the hall, almost reaching outside. The parents and students — who were waiting to speak with counselors — described being shuffled from one office to another, as helpless staff explained that the district’s new computer system was in disarray.
Then an announcement came over the loud speakers, instructing everyone to log off the system for half an-hour due to a school district request.
“They just said the system was all messed up and they were trying to get it running,” said Jessica Reyes, whothat the film has already been developed; the display of the cross indicates that the film has already been exposed but undeveloped; and the display of the semicircle in white indicates that the film has some unexposed frames remaining. The display in white is called VEI (visual exposure index), and the index is seen with eyes from the outside to confirm the status of the film used.
The film 103 is constructed in such a way that a surface 103F of the film base is coated with a silver salt photosensitive layer and the reverse side 103R of the film is coated with a magnetic recording layer. Multiple perforations 121 are formed at the edge of the film 103 to specify the range of each frame 120. The photographing

South Africa Answers St. Kitts-Nevis Opposition
On Sep 1, 2013
Share
(Basseterre, St. Kitts, September 1, 2013) Opposition parliamentarians in St. Kitts-Nevis often urge that the Speaker of the St. Kitts-Nevis Parliament take note of the ways in which Motions of No Confidence have been handled by various nations, and be guided accordingly.
“What do others do?” the Opposition often asks. And South Africa has recently provided an answer.
St. Kitts-Nevis Opposition Parliamentarians in 2013 sought the intervention of the Court to force speedy consideration of a MONC filed by Leader of the St. Kitts-Nevis Opposition, the Honorable Mark Brantley.
Because the St. Kitts-Nevis Opposition places such weight on other countries’ handling of MONC’s, a recent court ruling in South Africa is worthy of note: Opposition parties in South Africa, like opposition parties infor her to have allowed her circumstances to turn her into a nagging wife, a bitter daughter-in-law and a despairing parent. In fact, she didn’t let herself become any of those things. She was a woman of great godliness, and that made her strong as well as loving.
Monica had difficulties right from the start. Though she was a Christian, her parents gave her in marriage to a pagan, Patricius, who lived in her hometown of Tagaste in North Africa (in modern day Algeria). It is true that Patricius had some redeeming qualities. But he had a fierce temper and was extremely promiscuous. Monica also had to put up with a bad tempered mother-in-law who lived permanently in her home. Patricius criticised Monica constantly for her charity and Christian

faith, although at another level it is clear that he respected her.
In the end, through Monica’s prayers and the life she led, her husband became a Christian, and - even more remarkably - so did her mother-in-law. Patricius died in 371, one year after his baptism.
Monica had at least three children who survived infancy. Augustine, the eldest, is the famous one. At the time Patricius died, Augustine was 17 and studying rhetoric in Carthage. Monica was anguished to discover that her son had accepted the Manichean heresy and was living an immoral life. To start with, she wouldn’t let him eat or sleep in her house. But one night she had a vision in which she was assured that Augustine would return to the faith. She remained closeto her son from that point on, praying for him with tears and fasting. (In fact, she was often closer than Augustine really wanted!)
In 383, when he was 29, Augustine - brilliant but still wayward - decided to teach rhetoric in Rome. Monica insisted on going. Clearly, Augustine wasn’t keen on this idea. So, one night he told his mother that he was going to the dock to farewell a friend. But instead, he got on a boat for Rome. The heartbroken Monica made up her mind to follow him. By the time she arrived in Rome, Augustine had left for Milan! In spite of the most difficult travelling conditions, Monica pursued him.
It was in Milan that Augustine came under the influence of the bishop, Ambrose, who also

In an example of just how deep the roots of Agenda 21 can reach, it is now obvious that the UN-generated guidelines are making their way through state legislatures as well as the federal branch. Not only that, but such legislation has expanded from inside the boundaries of the usual suspects like California and New York, and is now even reaching into southern states like South Carolina, which have traditionally been opposed to such policies.
For those who are unaware, Agenda 21 (short for United Nations Agenda For The 21st Century) is a road map of guidelines and procedures dictated from the United Nations and implemented by the member states. In the case of the United States, the plans are implemented at the state and local levelfor public improvements to sites, and funding for design and construction of the parking and transit infrastructure.
As one can see from the sections in bold, this plan is clearly designed to use the power of government to implement Agenda 21. Thus, the plan manifests itself in the form of local zoning regulations, laws, and taxation, unbeknownst to the victims at the bottom. Even the language of the resolution with terms like “human habitat” and “human settlements” directly reflects the nature and semantics of the United Nations.
Agenda 21 has long been creeping up on the American people by stealth via organizations like the International Council on Local Environmental Initiatives . The ICLEI, also known as Local Governments For Sustainability , is an organization that is made up of over

a thousand local governments (the majority being from the United States) who have bypassed Federal and State law as well as the Constitution in order to implement Agenda 21 policies.
South Carolina has four major cities on the ICLEI list – Charleston, Columbia, Spartanburg, and Greenville. In addition, Councils of Governments , like the South Carolina Council of Governments, are established worldwide and work with each other through unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats outside of Constitutional process and law.
I urge all South Carolinians to contact their State Senators and Representatives and demand that they oppose this bill. States such as Texas and Tennessee have taken recent action to expose the real meaning of Agenda 21 and preserve their local sovereignty. South Carolina certainly can do the same. You can findyears, and he had been instrumental in helping us begin our ministry in Ligonier, Pennsylvania, in 1971. Since our time together in St. Louis was during the twilight of Schaeffer's career, I posed this question to him: "Dr. Schaeffer, what is your biggest concern for the future of the church in America?" Without hesitation, Dr. Schaeffer turned to me and spoke one word: "Statism."

MELBOURNE - An Australian man with a history of mental health issues drove a car into Christmas shoppers in Melbourne on Thursday (Dec 21), injuring 19 people, but police said they did not believe the attack was terror-related.
The incident took place at a busy intersection on Flinders and Elizabeth streets – an area popular with tourists – in the Central Business District of Australia’s second-biggest city, media reports said.
Agence France-Presse news agency cited witnesses as saying that people were thrown into the air after being hit by the car, which did not appear to be trying to stop as it “mowed everybody down” .
Police said on Thursday that they detained the 32-year-old driver, an Australian of Afghan descent with a history of assault, drug use and mental healththe Sydney Morning Herald.
He offered praise for an off-duty police officer who helped detain the driver as well as the emergency services and police who, he said, arrived on the scene within seconds. The off-duty policeman was later taken to hospital.
“(The off-duty officer) deserves special praise for the way in which he instinctively came to the rescue of others, avoiding so much further carnage,” Andrews said.
Australia has been on a “high” national threat level since 2015, citing the likelihood of attacks by Australians radicalised in Iraq and Syria. Two hostages were killed in a siege by a “lone wolf” gunman, inspired by Islamic State in Iraq and Syria militants, in a cafe in Sydney in December 2014.

plant in India has been hit by a US import ban over quality concerns, dealing a blow to the company's turnaround plans and threatening to hurt new launches and sales of medicines to its largest market.
With the latest FDA action, all three Ranbaxy plants in India that are dedicated to the US market, which accounts for more than 40 per cent of its sales, have now been barred from shipping to the United States, a company source told Reuters.
The ruling triggered the worst single-day fall in Ranbaxy's stock, wiping off a third of its market value or $1 billion on Monday, and brokerage downgrades on worries of prolonged delays to high-yielding product launches in the United States.
The US Food and Drug Administration imposed an import alert on theMohali factory in northern India on Friday, saying the plant owned by India's biggest drugmaker by sales had not met "good manufacturing practices".
The FDA said it has evaluated the drug products that are manufactured at the Mohali facility and determined that it is unlikely the action will cause drug shortages in the US
"None of the products manufactured at the Ranbaxy Mohali facility are in short supply," Erica Jefferson, a spokeswoman for the agency, said.
Two of Ranbaxy's other plants, at Dewas and Paonta Sahib, were hit with the same import alerts in 2008, and are still barred from making shipments to the United States. The company has a total of eight plant locations across India.
The FDA said it inspected Ranbaxy's Mohali facility in September and December 2012 and identified

"significant" quality control violations, including a failure to adequately investigate manufacturing problems and failure to establish adequate procedures to ensure manufacturing quality.
Under the decree, Ranbaxy is prohibited from making FDA-regulated drugs at the Mohali facility and introducing them into the United States until its methods, facilities and controls are in compliance with good manufacturing standards.
The company is required to hire a third-party expert to inspect the facility and certify to the FDA that the company is once again in compliance.
Ranbaxy will now have to rely on its wholly owned unit in the United States, Ohm Laboratories Inc, to supply medicine to the world's largest economy, said the source, who declined to be named due to the sensitivity of the issue.

Freeze-fracture autoradiography: the in-vacuo coating technique.
Freeze-fracture autoradiography (FFA) was introduced in 1976 as a new method for electron microscopic autoradiography of diffusible compounds (Fisher and Branton, Rix et al.). With the original technique, the film monolayer was applied to the cold specimen in a cryostat at atmospheric pressure. Coating under these conditions did not exclude the risk of artifacts, mainly due to uncontrolled ice contamination of the cold specimen surface. A new method has been developed for coating the frozen specimen, immediately after replication, in the maintained vacuum of the freeze-fracture unit. Two main components of the new technique are described in detail, a specially designed coating device, and the use of spreading substances, promoting adhesion of the film in vacuo. Using this technique artifacts so far inherentComparison of Rasch and summated rating scales constructed from SF-36 physical functioning items in seven countries: results from the IQOLA Project.

The Rasch model of physical functioning developed in the United States was compared to models for other countries, and each country was compared to a multinational composite. Strong scale congruence across the seven countries was demonstrated; items that varied between countries and from the composite may reflect unique cultural response patterns or differences in translation.

Informed consent, parental permission, and assent in pediatric practice. Committee on Bioethics, American Academy of Pediatrics.
The statement on informed consent, parental permission, and patient assent has a long and extraordinary history. The first draft of this document, prepared by William G. Bartholome, MD, was presented to the original American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Committee on Bioethics in 1985. Bill put his soul into the manuscript and has watched over it carefully ever since. Now, a decade later, those who have worked on its continued development and urged its adoption as Academy policy applaud its publication. No one is more gratified than its primary author and champion. Those who have had the privilege to know Dr Bartholome share his sense of accomplishment, but cannot help but experience a cruelsense of irony. Just as the work Bill considers his most important contribution has become available for public appreciation, Dr Bartholome suffers from a serious illness that threatens his life. Bill always wanted "the experience, perspective, and power of children" to be taken most seriously. Through the years of the statement's revisions and re-presentation within the Academy, Bill "had faith in the power of the text and the ideas it contained, ... that its time would come." The statement embodies Bill Bartholome's dedication to children. Throughout his career, he worked to make medicine and medical research safer and more friendly for children. The AAP and its Committee on Bioethics, on behalf of all our colleagues, extend heartful thanks to Dr William G. Bartholome for helping us more fully

Recent Strides in Deepening the Residential Learning Experience
The second strategic goal of The Plan for Bucknell requires the University to provide an integrated, residential learning and living experience that "supports and complements the academic program" and that provides "personal growth and development, a sense of justice and ethical responsibility and a commitment to civic engagement" in a close-knit community. In its work to accomplish this goal, the University has:
Examined the campus climate
Problems such as binge drinking, sexual assault, violence and prejudice can occur on any college campus, and Bucknell is unfortunately no exception. In 2010-11, a task force of faculty and staff thoroughly and candidly examined the campus climate. The task force's report identified several challenges related to alcohol consumption, student norms, intellectual engagement and diversity, and itNoble at Bucknell University
Two downtown buildings now serve as an extension of campus, providing spaces for students and faculty to learn, connect with one another, relax and be entertained.
The Campus Theatre is a 1940s art-deco-style theatre that reopened after six months of renovation. It now serves as a classroom, an events space and a movie house open to the general community. || Related link: Film Journalfeature
Barnes & Noble at Bucknell University opened in 2010 after a yearlong restoration of a historic Lewisburg building. The bookstore features 29,500 square feet of assorted books and other merchandise displayed among artifacts from the building's past, along with a café and an event space open to campus and local communities. || Related links:News story, photo gallery

faculty and staff intellectually outside of class, Bucknell hosts visiting speakers and scholars with diverse viewpoints and expertise who can enrich the academic environment by stimulating discourse and inspiring new ideas. The Bucknell Forum was implemented under The Plan for Bucknell. Other University speaker series flourish.
Strengthened student healthcare
Bucknell partners with Geisinger Medical Center and Evangelical Community Hospital, two well-regarded healthcare organizations near campus, to provide health services to students. Through Bucknell Student Health, students receive care on campus and can take advantage of resources at Geisinger and Evangelical.
Planned new on-campus housing
In spring 2013, the Board of Trustees approved plans to build four new residence halls and adjacent student commons in the south part of campus. Expected to open in fall 2015, the new facilities will house 340 juniorsby Albany's comprehensive plan adopted in 2012, the blueprint for future city growth, Spencer said. The new zoning took affect in 2017.
Denser development's selling point is efficiency – more people in one area accessing retail and commercial shops and less of a need to spread out water, power and sewer infrastructure. But with that also comes challenges for finding nearby parking, congested roads and, inevitably, taller buildings.
And Albany is a city unto its own. People have moved out to the suburbs in recent years. It's burdened with a tax-exempt property rate of 64 percent. Changes from the 1960s to create the Empire State Plaza still reverberate.

thus throwing children who lived there out on the streets.
In Basra:
The United Nations says that the number of confirmed cases of cholera is already higher than in the whole of last year (64 cases already, with many more cases probably as yet undetected, as compared to 39 for all of last year). Of course, the number of cases last year would have been elevated because of the application of the punitively-applied Anglo-American sanctions.
Garbage:
"The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported an agreement to resume the cleanup of garbage that has been accumulating on the streets of Basra, Iraq's second largest city, for more than two months, posing a potential health hazard.
The accord was signed by UN agencies, coalition forces, the United States Office of Reconstructionor municipal authority, no rubbish collection, virtually no public services of any kind, no courts, no magistrates or prison service. There are piles of rubble, burnt-out vehicles and squalor in the streets. There are queues at petrol stations, for cooking gas and for potable water delivered by British army tankers."
The love for democracy expressed as one of the reasons for the attack on Iraq by Blair-Bush is only a theoretical love, as the British havedisbanded the city council in Basra, a council they were quite proud of a few weeks ago. The stated reason for the disbandment is that the council was dominated by hated Baathists, which may be true, but the locals are understandably upset that the local government is now going to be run by the

that Iraq was not won in battle but was purchased has been confirmed.
The United States is holding thousands of Iraqi POW's and other captives at compounds close to Baghdad airport, denying them access to human rights officials, and thus breaching the Geneva Convention. A French cameraman saw an encampment with 'hundreds of men' hooded, with their arms tied behind their backs, and a worker for a non-governmental aid organization said that he saw men in a similar state on a truck. The Americans are under an obligation to treat prisoners of war humanely.

Iraq:
In Baghdad:
At least 1,700 Iraqi civilians died and more than 8,000 were injured in Baghdad during the attack on Iraq and in the weeks afterward (on top of which, undocumented civilian deaths inBaghdad number at least in the hundreds and could reach 1,000).
Almost all the police stations have been destroyed or looted, with only two having reopened, and there is still no police chief.
The communications center, which had been hit by two cruise missiles during the attack on Iraq, nevertheless had suffered little damage, with most of the equipment surviving. It could have been functioning within months, thus restoring Baghdad's phone service. The director of the center reported this to the Americans, who, needless to say, failed to put it under guard, and it was burned to the ground.
Water and sewage systems are falling apart all across Iraq, and human waste is backing up and out of the drains in many parts of Baghdad. The Al Rustumia sewage plant is

not being guarded and looters were operating on a daily basis, rendering the plant inoperable. As a result, one million tons of raw sewage is discharged into the Tigris and Diyala Rivers every day.
Iraqis have begun tokill former members of the Baath Party, with possibly several hundred victims in Baghdad alone.
Even the Office of Reconstruction and Humanitarian Assistance admits that about 40 percent of the Baghdad's residents are without potable water supplies.
Bremer of Baghdad visited a police station in the Karkh district of Baghdad for a photo op to hear about the new U.S. Army-Iraqi police patrols. Angry policemen began pointing at a man in uniform named Abdul Razak, a former Baath Party member and colonel in the Iraqi security services who had been chief of police stationsin Baghdad's western district and kept his job under the American occupation, and who may have been invited to the photo op by the Americans (although they later denied it and claimed Rasak had been fired as a Baathist, although the preceding day he had been in a planning meeting with Col. Ted Spain, head of the military police brigade in charge of Baghdad). As a crowd began to gather, a U.S. military officer told journalists that a bomb had been found at the end of the block and led them away, although nobody at the police station when later asked about the bomb had heard of one being found or reported!
5,000 to 10,000 Iraqi civilians may have died during the attack on Iraq. Since the war was

completely illegal, let's not say 'died', let's use the proper term, 'murdered'. Knowledge of the carnage is still incomplete, but much detail is available. Human Rights Watch has found evidence of "massive use of cluster bombs in densely populated areas."
Looting is still a major problem in Basra, with Basra University being looted out of existence.
In Falluja, which is getting used to American violence, gunmen fired anti-tank rockets at a U.S. armored vehicle, resulting in the American response of random fire from tanks towards the city center, killing two passengers of a pickup truck traveling 300 yards from the scene. Safi Jaber, a witness, said: "They went crazy, they fired everywhere." U.S. soldiers later stopped an ambulance trying to approach the truck and a tank rammed it.
In Kirkuk, ethnictensions between Arabs and Kurds are resulting in violent conflict, resulting in at least 10 deaths. In Erbil, the Kurdish regional parliament passed a law that would "cancel the history of Arabization in Kurdistan," meaning the forced eviction of Arabs who had been settled in Kurdish areas by Saddam. Several Arabs were probably killed in a battle at Hawija with American troops, who claim they were trying to stop illegal checkpoints established by the Arabs, checkpoints which had been set up due to rumors that the Kurds were going to attack the Arabs. Forced evictions of Arabs from Kurdish areas and Palestinians from all across the country have already caused much suffering. The highly-touted 'free' elections for town council which are being held in Kirkuk seem to be

heavily managed by the Americans, who appear to be siding with the Kurds against the Arabs.
"U.S. military inspection teams have concluded that material looted from Iraq's main nuclear facility at Tuwaitha poses little or no danger to the people who stole it and cannot be converted into an effective 'dirty bomb.'"
In the real world, the families of the looters are beginning to suffer from probable radiation sickness. American denials of the problem mean that Iraqis will continue to use contaminated containers to store water and food, and since the danger from radiation depends on cumulative exposure, people will become ill and die who might have been saved. The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Mohamed ElBaradei, has warned the United States for the third time of thedanger of radioactive contamination in Iraq.
A prominent British officer, Lieutenant Colonel Tim Collins, has been accused by the Americans (of all people) of having pistol-whipped an Iraqi civic leader, gashing his head; punched and kicked prisoners of war; shot the tires of vehicles when there was no threat to 'coalition' lives; and fired on the ground near the feet of Iraqi civilians and spoken to civilians in a threatening fashion. The British are attempting to portray these allegations as the result of a feud between the Americans and this officer.
American troops have vandalized the remains of the ancient city of Ur. Soldiers have spray-painted the remains with graffiti ('SEMPER FE') and stolen kiln-baked bricks. The Pentagon has decided to build a massive and potentially permanent base alongside the

Back in Arizona, Collins started to hang out with Ghareeb again (pp.213):
"While in Phoenix we would spend time playing with Ghareeb's Arab buddies. We generally avoided the mosques but would occasionally hang out at one of them to meet with other Saudis. One of Ghareeb's friends would later be one of a handful of people who would alter our world forever. I didn't particularly like him when I met him. I didn't have anything against him; I just didn't like him all that much. He was a little scrawny guy, short and maybe 150 pounds with his clothes on. He seemed like more of a followerlessons in Scottsdale, right up the road from my house. I'd known some of his roommates before Ghareeb started talking to him and was good friends with one of them. They were all taking flying lessons . . . . I was still working for the Bureau at this time and reporting to Andy regularly. Both the FBI and Andy were fully aware of all the Arabs whom Ghareeb and I had contact with, including the scrawny little guy, whose name is widely known now: Hani Hanjoor. Hani Hanjoor would get his pilot's license in 1999 and would fly an American Airlines plane into the Pentagon. They were hardly 'deep-cover sleepers,' as the FBI is calling them now. They lived very openly, and although I had no idea

the Pakistani government.
The ISI is the Pakistani equivalent of the CIA, and is associated with the Pakistani military. Many feel that it is the real government of Pakistan. Why, then, would it have to send men to a warehouse in Florida to buy these arms? Presumably, it could buy arms openly in the international market whenever it wanted to. The most obvious reason to buy arms in the United States is that they were intended to be used in the United States. A less obvious reason is that the whole Pakistani connection was intended to lead a false trail back to Pakistan (of course, leaving such a false trail betrays foreknowledge of the eventual fate of the WTC). The name of a Pakistani arms procurement officer mentioned bythe prospective Pakistani purchasers apparently checks out as the name of an actual Pakistani arms procurement officer. The deal was never concluded as the Pakistanis strung out the sellers for months and never did come up with any money, but you wouldn't think money would be a problem if they were actually working for the ISI.
The ISI was involved, on behalf of the CIA, in setting up the Taliban in Afghanistan. It was and is involved in the Islamic fundamentalist training camps situated in Afghanistan along the Pakistani border. The route of most of the trainees who attended these camps was to fly into Karachi, take an internal flight within Pakistan to Islamabad, and then be driven from Islamabad across the border into Afghanistan. There appears to be

an organized 'underground railroad' to make all these connections, with everything done with the tacit approval of the Pakistani government (the only difficult part seems to be crossing the border into Afghanistan, where the locals are still very suspicious of foreigners). Travelling to Pakistan keeps coming up in the stories we hear about various terrorists and alleged terrorists. It is almost as if the Pakistanis were running a travel agency for trips to Afghanistan.
The ISI constantly appears as the key liason between the CIA and the various groups of Islamic fundamentalist warriors that have been used by the CIA in various places in the world (Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Chechnya, Afghanistan, etc.) to further U. S. geopolitical goals, mainly fighting against what are perceived as Russian interests. It isthis connection which may really lie behind the leeway that the American government gives to Pakistan.
When the man calling himself 'Mohamed Atta' was still in Hamburg, Germany, his original 'best friend' was Atif Ahmed bin Mansoor, a pilot in the Pakistani Air Force. Mansoor eventually left Germany and returned to Pakistan, and very little has been found out about him since. One very interesting fact, however, is that he returned to Pakistan to attend the funeral of his brother, another pilot who had died in a Pakistani Air Force crash. If Atif Ahmed bin Mansoor was originally intended to be a suicide pilot, it would make sense to relieve his family of this burden once one son had already died in the service of his country. Atif Ahmed

bin Mansoor was immediately replaced as the 'best friend' of 'Mohamed Atta' by Marwan Alshehhi, who of course stayed with him through Florida and the terrorism.
Much, and perhaps too much, has been made of the fact that a senior Pakistani Army general, and in fact the head of the ISI, Lt. Gen. Mehmood Ahmed, was meeting with senior American politicians and bureaucrats in Washington on the morning of September 11, and in fact had been in meetings with American officials for a few days. He had met with with Marc Grossman, U.S. Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, and at the very time of the first crash on the morning of September 11 was at a meeting hosted by Senator Bob Graham and Rep. Porter Goss, theif in fact Pakistan was involved in the attacks. On the other hand, if part of the Pakistani government was involved in 9-11 and that general was unaware of it, sending him to Washington in that week may have been part of the tactics of the operation. The general would already be in place to coordinate Pakistan's role in the 'war on terror', and to negotiate the restructuring of Pakistani loans that would be made in gratitude for Pakistan's anticipated cooperation in rooting out Islamic fundamentalism. The most important thing to remember was that Pakistan was in deep, deep trouble with the Americans in the summer of 2001, being blamed for supporting fundamentalist terrorism and owing billions of dollars it couldn't pay. It is highly implausible to think

that Pakistan would have risked sending a known fundamentalist to negotiate with the Americans at such a critical time.
Lt. Gen. Mehmood Ahmed, the same general who was meeting in Washington at the time of the attacks, allegedlywas in cell phone communication with terrorist Omar Shaikh Saeed. Omar Shaikh Saeed transferred $100,000 from a UAE bank to Mohammed Atta. Just before September 11, Atta and one or two other of the September 11 terrorists are supposed to have wired the remaining money back to the UAE, where Omar Shaikh Saeed is said to have collected it and immediately returned to Pakistan. All the reports on this are somewhat vague and improved in the telling, but General Ahmed allegedly either was aware of the payment (or actually directed it, whichis the way the issue is often described, possibly without factual basis), and this was discovered by Indian intelligence somehow through the investigation of Omar Shaikh Saeed's cell phone conversations. Somehow they obtained his number, and the FBI, through the use of data at the cell phone company, was able to connect Ahmed to Omar Shaikh Saeed (but how could they be sure of what Ahmed actually knew, and how could they be sure that it was Ahmed who was using the phone?). Indian intelligence is also the probable helpful source behind the idea that Ahmed's September 2001 meeting with Mullah Omar, where he was supposed to ask Mullah Omar to hand over bin Laden, was subverted by Ahmed when he told Mullah Omar not to hand over

other places right up to the present time
the fact that many of the 9-11 terrorists visited Afghan training camps, which were accessed through contacts in Pakistan
clear ISI support for the Taliban, reaching all the way up to Musharaff's military role before he became a politician
the likelihood that one of the countries Graham was referring to, especially given he was meeting with Ahmed when they received news of the September 11 attacks, was Pakistan
Reasons for suspecting that there wasn't official Pakistani government involvement in 9-11:
the failure of the American government to pursue the Mohsen/Malik matter, and the short sentencing of Mohsen and non-trial of Malik, and the sealing of the files
the suspicious failure of the American press to report the whole story, including the specific threat in 1999 tothe WTC (the cynicism of the American press knows no bounds: compare the whitewash treatment of nominal U. S. ally Pakistan to their searching for every little tidbit on Iraq!)
the peculiar relationship of Lt. Gen. Mehmood Ahmed to the Americans, for whom he is either a great friend or behind the funding of the 9-11 attacks
the fact that a man identified by some as a fundamentalist Islamicist is an odd choice for the man to be representing Pakistan in Washington if you know that there is going to be an Islamic fundamentalist attack on the United States while he is there
the fact that Abbas had specific knowledge of the events of 9-11, but never actually came through with the money to buy anything, despite trailing the sellers along
