A magazine for the alumni of all University of Tennessee campuses and institutes
Giving Is Its Own Reward
Some of the most generous people in the world are friends of the University of Tennessee. The university, always grateful for donor support, has initiated a trio of awards that formally recognize people who have made giving an art form. The first awards were presented at last fall’s meeting of the UT Development Council in Knoxville.
The inaugural Jim and Natalie Haslam Presidential Medal went to Howard Baker Jr. (Knoxville ’49). The former U.S. senator and ambassador to Japan is one of the university’s best-known graduates. His career has included service as U.S. Senate majority leader and White House chief of staff. UT’s Howard H. Baker Jr. Center for Public Policy honors hisdedication to public service. The Baker Center is a nonpartisan organization that emphasizes better understanding of government and better appreciation of the importance of public service through education, research, and public programs. A new building to house the Baker Center will be completed this year. Jim and Natalie Haslam of Knoxville established the Presidential Medal to recognize a person who demonstrates superior leadership, philanthropy, and service to the university.
The UT Philanthropist of the Year Award recognizes a donor whose gifts have had a profound impact on the University of Tennessee. A couple dedicated to ensuring that there will always be great teachers to educate and guide young people shared the award. David and Jane Bailey of Knoxville established scholarships for future teachers and issued a $1-million challenge that

A Syrian asylum seeker who had been struggling to adapt to life in the West has been handed a 15 year prison sentence after he threw his three children out of a first-floor window during a fight with his wife.
The 36-year-old man, identified as Hassan Z, was detained on suspicion of attempted murder after his two daughters, aged one and seven, and five-year-old son were injured at a refugee home near Bonn, Germany.
In February, the man reportedly argued with his wife and hit her in the face with a saucepan, earning him an additional charge of aggravated assault.
He later took each of his three children and threw them out of the window of the bathroom - a 4.8 metre fall - allegedly to punish his wife.
The man’s sonreportedly begged “Papa, for God’s sake” before pushing him through the window, according to The Local.
The seven-year-old daughter sustained life threatening injuries and had to undergo emergency surgery. The five-year-old boy was also critically injured with broken bones and skull fractures like his older sister. Their one-year-old sister landed on top of her brother in the garden and avoided more serious injuries.
Prosecutors, calling for the man to be given a life sentence, said he could not accept she “no longer wished to accept the roles they had at home, and did not want to put up with everything he wanted anymore” after fleeing to Europe.

The defence meanwhile asked for a more lenient sentence, as Hassan came from a poor background and had a difficult time adjusting to Germany after having toflee his country. The husband had left Syria in 2014 alone and was joined by his family in Germany later in the year.
The wife has filed for divorce since the violent incident. In January, the man was issued a ten-day restraining order against his family.

An electric current of a size corresponding to the brightness of the light is generated within the photoelectric conversion element when the light is irradiated to the photoelectric conversion element, and image information from the subject 2504 is taken in as an electrical signal within the area sensor.
If the light from the backlight 2502 is not irradiated uniformly to the subject 2504 with the area sensor stated above, an irregularity develops in which the read in image becomes partially brighter and partially darker. It therefore becomes necessary to devise a structure of the light scattering plate 2503 is so that the light is irradiated uniformly to the subject 2504, and to precisely regulate the position of the backlight 2502, the light scattering plate 2503, theemitted from the EL elements is reflected by a subject and irradiated to the photodiodes. An electric current is generated in accordance with the light irradiated to the photodiodes, and an electrical signal having image information of the subject (image signal) is input to the area sensor.
No irregularities in the brightness of the read in image develop with the present invention because light is irradiated uniformly to the subject in accordance with the above structure. It is not necessary to form the backlight and the light scattering plate separately from the sensor substrate, and therefore it is also not necessary to precisely regulate the position of the backlight, the light scattering plate, the sensor substrate, and the subject, differing from the conventional example.

Clemente Soto-Moreno tried to rescue two female teenagers who were drowning
May 22, 2011|By Eric Gillard, egillard@dailypress.com | 247-4879
VIRGINIA BEACH — A Williamsburg man died Saturday after trying to rescue two teenagers who were drowning at the Oceanfront near 34th Street.
Witnesses to the incident told police that the victim, Clemente Soto-Moreno, 31, of the 4000 block of Governors Square, saw two female teenagers struggling in the ocean's current around 6:11 p.m. Saturday and he went into the water to attempt to rescue them, said Virginia Beach Police spokesperson Adam Bernstein.
The two teenage girls were with a group of people visiting the beach, including Soto-Moreno.
Bernstein said Soto-Moreno was able to reach the two teens, but he was unable to bring them to shore.

director of the ADI Fund since on or about August 1, 1978, and is an affiliated person with the Capital Research and Management Company and thus, an "interested person" as that term is defined in the Investment Advisers Act.
The defendants, Leon T. Kendall, Louis F. Laun, Charles F. Phillips, Mary S. O'Connor, Beryl Robichaud and William J. Stephens are the "outside, independent" or "disinterested directors" of the ADI Fund.
II
BACKGROUND OF THE ACTION
At the beginning of 1978, the Anchor Corporation indicated to the Anchor Group of Funds that it was desirous of terminating its investment company management functions. Accordingly, the outside directors of the various Anchor Funds set up a contract committee to seek a replacement for the advisory services provided by the *602 now withdrawing Anchor Corporation.[1] Toprinciple whereby Anchor would transfer its advisory and distribution services with regard to the Anchor Group to Capital Research. The Agreement, of course, was made contingent upon approval by the Boards of Directors of the various Anchor Funds and also by the shareholders of these funds.
On or about February 22, 1978, the outside directors of the Anchor Funds met with Mr. Dudley and considered the guidelines which he had prepared. The Board, upon modification of Dudley's submissions, propounded a substantial and detailed document ten pages in length. Apparently, this document was sent to Capital Research and Management Company and answers were obtained to the questions raised in the body of the guidelines.
Thereafter, three of the independent directors visited the offices of Capital Research and partook in a meeting

which lasted approximately 8 hours. On March 22, 1978, the independent directors met and the three directors who had visited Capital Research made a report. The answers of Capital Research to the guideline questionnaire were also reviewed by all of the ADI Fund independent directors. The next meeting of the independent directors occurred on April 3, 1978, when they reviewed material prepared by an independent business consultant retained by the directors concerning Capital Research. Also present were representatives of Anchor and Capital Research who were asked specific questions by the independent directors. These directors then met separately with their special counsel and unanimously voted in favor of recommending to all the Boards of Directors of the Anchor Group of Mutual Funds that each Board recommend shareholder approval ofCapital Research as replacement for Anchor.
On April 26, 1978, the independent directors again met and considered additional information furnished by Anchor and the specific terms of the proposed investment advisory and underwriting contracts with Capital Research. They also considered a proposed merger of certain of the Anchor Group of Mutual Funds into comparable funds in the group already being serviced by Capital Research.
*603 In particular, there was considered the proposed merger of the ADI Fund into the Cash Management Trust of America, the money-market fund of the American Funds Group.
The agreements with Capital Research and Management Company and the various Funds of the Anchor Group provided that upon consummation of the Agreement, none of the directors (including the independent directors) would be continued in their positions.

it would serve any purpose to meet with the principals of RMC.
Mr. Dudley prepared the letter to RMC as requested and circulated it to the directors. Apparently, various phone calls were made among the directors and Mr. Dudley and a final draft of the letter was presented to a meeting of the independent directors and approved by them on June 14, 1978.
On the same date, special meetings of the Boards of Directors of the Anchor Group of Funds were held to consider the proxy material for the change in the advisors of the various funds and the proposed mergers of some of them into the American Group.
The proxy material sent to the shareholders of the various Anchor Funds dated from June 16, 1978 to June 30, 1978, didthings had been moving apace. A representative of RMC had contacted Mr. Ratzlaff to see whether Capital Research and Management Company would agree, with SEC approval, to a free exchange of RMC Fund shares for those in American Group of Funds. Mr. Ratzlaff indicated that he believed that it was inappropriate to discuss the matter at that time.
Mr. Dudley had promised at the meeting of July 7th to tell the RMC representatives of the wishes of ADI Fund independent directors. Some time during the week (or perhaps weeks) following, Mr. Dudley informed Mr. Frischling that the independent directors had agreed to adjourn the meeting of shareholders from July 25, to July 31 and would meet with RMC representatives at a special meeting on July 27 at 8:30 a.

the second proposal was separate and distinct from the first, it follows that this second proposal was intended by the plaintiffs to supersede the first. In short, I find that the first proposal was abandoned for all purposes by RMC upon making the second offer. It is obvious that upon interposing this second offer all of RMC's efforts, including the RMC presentation on July 27, 1978, were directed to selling this second, and significantly more narrow, plan to the directors.
The practical effect of this finding is two-fold. First, since the second offer acted to displace the first, then any omission of the earlier offer is moot and I need not determine the materiality of the omission. Second, the issue then becomes whether the directors, having previously sent theto the merits of the case.
I turn now to the alleged violation of Section 36 of the Investment Company Act. That section provides in pertinent part:
(b) For the purposes of this subsection, the investment adviser of a registered investment company, shall be deemed to have a fiduciary duty with respect to the receipt of compensation for services, or of *611 payments of a material nature, paid by such registered investment company, or by the security holders thereof, to such investment adviser or any affiliated person of such investment adviser. An action may be brought under this subsection by the Commission, or by a security holder of such registered investment company on behalf of such company, against such investment adviser, or any affiliated person of such investment adviser, or

Carolinas, Separation of
by Robert J. Cain, 2006
The province of Carolina given by England's King Charles II to the Lords Proprietors in 1663 and 1665 constituted a single grant. In 1664 the northeastern portion of the province, at that time the only part settled by Europeans, became the county of Albemarle, and a few years later, in 1670, another colony was established at Charles Towne (now Charleston, S.C.) on the Ashley River. Separate governmental structures-governors, councils, assemblies, and courts-came into being for the two settlements, although technically the province of Carolina was a united entity with neither of its two colonies being considered superior to the other.
In 1691, in a halfhearted attempt to centralize authority in response to unrest in both settlements, the Lords Proprietors decreed that the governorof Carolina would reside in Charles Towne and appoint a deputy for the northern part of the colony. The practical effect of the measure was at best negligible. Although the innovation resulted in the chief executives of North Carolina being styled "deputy governor" as a result of the change, their subordination to the "governor" at Charles Towne seems to have been merely formal. In addition, the legislatures and courts of both parts of the province continued their separate and independent existences. In 1710, however, the Proprietors ceased naming a governor for all of Carolina, and in 1712 Edward Hyde took the oath as governor of "No. Carolina." Nevertheless, various formal documents issued by the Lords Proprietors well after 1712 continued to refer to the "Province of Carolina" as

2:15pm: Derek Holland has been placed on the 60-day disabled list in order to clear a 40-man roster spot for Parrino, the Rangers announced via press release.
1:42pm: The Rangers have claimed infielder Andy Parrino off waivers from the Athletics, according to John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle (on Twitter). Parrino was designated for assignment last week when the Athletics acquired Jake Elmore from the White Sox.
Parrino was acquired from the Padres along with Andrew Werner in what now looks to be a lopsided trade, as San Diego landed right-hander Tyson Ross in the deal. The 28-year-old Parrino is a career .186/.295/.242 in 229 big league plate appearances between the two teams at the Major League level. He's a career .270/.351/.389 hitter in 863 PAs at the Triple-ACNN founder Ted Turner says his former network now focuses "too much" on politics, and that he wishes the company would strive for more "balanced" programming between politics and other news.
In an interview with "CBS Sunday Morning," Turner told veteran anchor Ted Koppel that he rarely follows the news, and only watches his former news channel occasionally.

“I think they’re sticking with politics a little too much,” he told Koppel. "They'd do better to have a more balanced agenda."
"But that's, you know, just one person's opinion," he added.
Turner left Time Warner, the company that owns CNN, in 2006 after the company bought the cable network 10 years earlier. Turner launched CNN in 1980, and grew it to become a global news network viewed in hundreds of countries.

interview with Koppel, set to air this Sunday, the 79-year-old billionaire revealed that he has Lewy body dementia, a progressive brain disease similar in effects to Alzheimer's.
"It's a mild case of what people have as Alzheimer's. It's similar to that. But not nearly as bad. Alzheimer's is fatal," he tells Koppel in the interview, according to CBS.
He also discussed his past deliberations about running for president, which he said occurred during his marriage to then-wife Jane Fonda.
"Well, the closest I came to running for office was when I was married to Jane Fonda. And when I discussed it with her — she was married to one politician," Turner says in the interview. "And she said, you know, 'If you run for, for office, you run alone.' "this juncture, when the Indian economy is at an all time law.
And BJP is right in their opinion of Chidambaram, who has been the Union Minister for Finance during the better part of the UPA regime, and owes an explanation to the nation for such a pathetic shape in which our battered economy finds itself. Nothing can be more tragic than the fact that an incumbent minister is choosing to shy away from facing the electorate in the crucial Lok Sabha election.
This 16th Lok Sabha election is all about development and making India's economy robust in the years to come. This is why when Chidambaram takes the decision to launch his son's political career at the altar of his career, not only the timing for such a move

raises questions, but it also reflects Chidambaram's fears.
Another thing is that, the BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and P Chidambaram have been involved in a war of words ever since the campaign for this Lok Sabha election started. Who can forget Narendra Modi's famous potshot highlighting his humble background full of hard work without the Harvard degree? Who can forget P Chidambaram's famous jibe summing up Narendra Modi's knowledge on economy on the back of a postcard? The country was looking forward to an interesting and fiercely fought battle between the two. But P Chidambaram has disappointed many by not taking up the electoral challenge when his party needs him the most.
That said, the war of words between Narendra Modi and P Chidambaram continues unabated. Narendra ModiThe Capitol stones
The sandstone, granite and marble blocks were once part of the east facade of the U.S. Capitol, where they stood for decades as a witness to history. But when the 1958 renovation of Washington’s grandest building began, these stones, which date to the reconstruction of the building after it burned during the War of 1812, were dumped near an unnamed trail in Rock Creek Park. The rocks are piled high, like an ancient ruin; some have gathered moss and feature decorative elements like cornices or inscriptions by the builders. It’s best to experience the site with the reverence of a peaceful place, a bit like a cemetery — after all, it’s the final resting place for the stones that housed democracy.

Heavy metal contamination in freshwater fish from the border region between Norway and Russia.
The contents of Cd, Cu, Cr, Hg, Ni and Zn in muscle, liver and gills were studied in whitefish, perch, pike, brown trout, burbot and vendace from three lake localities in a watercourse in the border region between Norway and Russia, in the vicinity of mining activity and several metallurgic smelters. The contents of Cd and Ni in fish tissue increased with increasing proximity to the smelters, whereas the other elements showed similar concentrations at the three localities. The recorded heavy metal concentrations appeared to be within the ranges reported for fish from other metal-contaminated lakes, and higher than comparable observations from unpolluted systems. The heavy metal concentrations were usually lowest in muscle and highesthalf of American seniors…would be struggling in poverty." Biden was merely channeling Lyndon Johnson's remarks at the original press event announcing the passage of Medicare. "No longer will older Americans be denied the healing miracle of modern medicine," LBJ said as he handed former President Harry Truman the very first Medicare card (Truman had "planted the seeds of compassion" during his unsuccessful attempt while president to create nationalized health care).
Johnson was equally quick to pitch the benefits of entitlements to the younger generation, whose anger over Vietnam would stop him from running for re-election in 1968: "No longer will young families see their own incomes, and their own hopes, eaten away simply because they are carrying out their deep moral obligations to their parents, and to their uncles,

Americans are losing ground.
In 1984, reports the Pew Research Center, households headed by people 65 or older had 10 times the wealth of households headed by people under 35. By 2005—before the Great Recession hit—the gap had increased to 22 times, and by 2009 it was 47 times. In 2010, 11 percent of households headed by people 65 or older were officially under the poverty line. For households headed by someone under 35 years of age, the figure was 22 percent. The last time younger households were less likely to be poor than elderly ones was back in 1983. Conditions for older Americans have improved remarkably since Social Security and Medicare were established.
That older households are wealthier than younger ones is not surprising, and it is no causefor concern in itself. Elderly Americans have had a lifetime to amass savings and assets and to earn money from interest and investments. By the time they reach 65, most Americans also have lower living expenses. The kids are out of the house, and the house is more likely to be paid off (or to cost less due to inflation). In their new book The Clash of Generations, economists Lawrence Kotlikoff and Scott Burns show the cost of living for households of different sizes and ages varies dramatically. The cost of living for a married couple with children ages 6 to 17 is at least twice the cost for a retired couple. And these numbers underestimate the gap between retirees and married parents since they don't include expenses

which point toward a future of higher taxes for workers and smaller or nonexistent benefits for retirees.
Yet when leading politicians deign to mention Social Security and Medicare, it's never to seriously confront their disastrous trajectories, but rather to guarantee the programs' survival while impugning the barbarous motives of their electoral rivals. Presumptive GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney—routinely assailed by Democrats as a heartless plutocrat who will turn old people out in the streets—stresses that Medicare is sacrosanct and blasts President Barack Obama for "taking a series of steps that end Medicare as we know it."
Social Security was created in 1935 as a way of supporting Americans in their old age. The first checks were cut in 1939. The program is widely regarded as the signature achievement of theNew Deal. Conservatives such as Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan groused about Social Security throughout the 1950s and early '60s. During his famous 1964 nominating speech for Goldwater, Reagan asked, "Can't we introduce voluntary features that would permit a citizen to do better on his own?…We are against forcing all citizens, regardless of need, into a compulsory government program."
Yet by the 1980s, President Reagan called preserving "the integrity of the Social Security system" the "highest priority of my administration." In an era of bitter partisanship and division, "one point that has won universal agreement," Reagan declared, was that the entitlement "must be preserved." He tweaked the system by increasing payroll taxes and slightly increasing the age at which benefits would kick in for people currently paying into the

Fellow Center Back Kendall Waston hasn't been bad this season, but he has yet to reach the Superman-esque level of play he rose to once he joined the squad in 2014. With Kah and Waston failing to provide much as a pairing, the young Tim Parker may just get some serious minutes this season.
Then there's Steven Beitashour, the 28 year MLS Veteran that has been up and down to start 2015. The Right Back has been getting his feet under him the last few weeks, but still needs some work to get back to his usual level of contribution. The left side is in much better shape, with Sam Adekugbe looking more and more likethe global winner of the Windows Azure independent software vendor partner of the year award.

a 1973 Mercury automobile owned by the Bosticks and driven by their fifteen year old son, William Bostick. The collision caused damage to the rear of the Richard vehicle and personal injuries to Mrs. Richard. Mr. Richard sued for the medical expenses paid by the community in connection with the injuries suffered by Mrs. Richard in the amount of $2,700.00, and Mrs. Richard sought to recover damages for her personal injuries and suffering in the amount of $50,000.00, together with interest and court costs.
Prior to the filing of the present suit Mr. Richard had filed suit on behalf of the community in New Iberia City Court seeking to recover $830.25 as property damages to the family automobile and for his wife's travel to and from the doctor's office.US Ramps Up Pakistan Drone Strikes
A bomb targeting paramilitary soldiers killed 12 people in southwest Pakistan on Thursday, while five suspected militants died in a U.S. drone strike in the country's northwest, officials said.
Separately, an explosion ripped through a crowded mosque in the northwest city of Mingora, killing 21 people and injuring more than 70 others, said hospital official Mian Gul Aleem. The blast was caused by a gas cylinder that exploded, said senior police official Gul Afzal Khan.
The drone strike was the seventh in two weeks, one of the most intense series of attacks in the past two years. During that period, political tensions between the U.S. and Pakistan led to a reduced number of strikes compared to 2010, when they were at their highest.

Most encouragingly of all, Johnny Sexton is on top of his game and Robbie Henshaw’s debut added to the feel-good factor which has in part been generated by the arrival of Stuart Lancaster.
The competition, and Irish rugby, needs a resurgent Leinster. The signs have been moderately encouraging, but they are a work very much in progress, and given the memory of last season, only the next two weeks will really inform.

Ironically,After a sharp spike in spending on public servants under Prime Minister Stephen Harper's watch, a new report finds the Conservative government's recent restraint plans will ultimately bring Ottawa's staffing costs back down to a historical average.
Parliamentary Budget Officer Kevin Page released an extensive report on federal staffing trends Tuesday that examines the billions Ottawa spends on employees.
The report looks at personnel costs from 1990-91 to 2011-12 and concludes that life in the public service is not as stable as outsiders might expect.

Retiring Richmond Fed president often has been a dissenting voice

Editor's update: Since this interview was published in March, Jeffrey Lacker has resigned as president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond after acknowledging he had disclosed confidential Federal Reserve information to an analyst in a 2012 conservation. First Vice President Mark Mullinix is serving as its acting president of the Richmond Fed.
Jeffrey Lacker has been part of the Federal Reserve System’s history for the past 28 years.
In October, he will retire as president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond to spend time writing about that history, including theI like to point out to people that after the Great Depression, we didn’t really have a good solid narrative account that was economically coherent until 1963.”
Lacker and his wife plan to stay in Richmond, where they live in a condominium in the city’s Fan District.
He also plans to stay involved with a number of Richmond-area nonprofit organizations. The list currently includes the University of Richmond, Council for Economic Education, Venture Richmond, Side by Side, Richmond World Affairs Council and Junior Achievement of Central Virginia.
One of Lacker’s interests is auto racing. When he turned 50, his wife’s birthday gift was a weekend at racing school at Virginia International Raceway in Halifax County. He continues to race as an amateur.
Through racing, Lacker met Roger Penske, a well-known former driver

Suzu, a 19-year-old singer-songwriter from Naha, and Civilian Skunk, a former middle-school band (now in their 20s) from Tomigusuku, represent contemporary Okinawa music, while DJ Sasa will play a remix of sanshin Okinawan music. The sanshin is a string instrument from which the Japanese shamisen was later derived.
Regional dishes to be served include Okinawan soba, taco rice and umi budo (sea grape) seaweed, along with cups of awamori, Okinawa’s traditional rice wine. On top of the food and music, there will also be stalls selling accessories and sanshin, and Ryukyu costume rentals.

Not to mention the "poorer" payroll teams also get a large share of luxury taxes paid by the likes of the Yankees, Angels, Cubs, Red Sox and other large payroll clubs. Yet instead of reinvesting those funds into their clubs, the owners line their own pockets.

Earlier today, it was reported that 24-year-old gunman James Holmes walked into a midnight screening of(clad in body armour and a gas mask) in Aurora, Colorado and opened fire on those in attendance. While there have been conflicting reports as to exactly how this all went down, we do know that 12 people have lost their lives and 59 are injured (some critically). The tragic events led Warner Bros. to consider removing the film from North American theatres this weekend - something they later decided against - with newtworks taking all adverts for the film off TV and radio.

upper limb of the patient was fixed using two straps, one at the forearm and one around the wrist and magnets fixed the fingertips to the actuators of a mechatronic hand orthosis (Tyromotion Amadeo HTS, Graz, Austria). This device was controlled by a BCI and moved the fingers of the paralyzed hand between an opened and a closed position. The range of the movement was adjusted in each session (Ramos-Murguialday et al., [@B26]) because it was limited by the spasticity of the patient. Each trial of the task consisted of three phases: preparation (2 s), feedback (6 s), and rest (8 s).

From the Edge of Postcards: The Wem Ghost Photo
Following a fire in a small English town, a mysterious photo of the blaze-seemingly depicting a girl ghost-circulated around the world.
On
November 19, 1995, the town hall of the English market town of Wem burned,
leaving only a charred brick shell. Among the locals watching the building
burn was Tony O'Rahilly, who brought his camera and took several photos
of the blaze. A few months later, in March 1996, O'Rahilly developed
the photos of the fire in a little film studio he'd constructed in
a shed in the garden behind his

for its television
show Out of this World, hosted by current Independent Television
(ITV) presenter Chris Choi.
Fig. 1
In
the BBC show, Choi interviewed O'Rahilly in his garden and also toured
the burned-out remnants of the town hall. The conventional story of
the ghostly photo was also told. But when the BBC took the photo to
the National Museum of Photography, Film, and Television (now known
as the National Media Museum), viewers learned a different story. Both
of the photography experts there, Paul Thompson and Will Stapp, agreed
that the photo showed signs of manipulation and double exposure. Thompson
in particular noted that he saw horizontal scan lines, as though the
image consisted of a photo of a face on a video screen pasted into the
picture of the fire. With that damning revelation, Choi returned to
confront O'Rahilly, who responded, “Noway ... It's none of my
doing.”
I
first became interested in investigating this case in September 2009.
At that time, the allegations of the Out of this World show were
not widely available on the Internet. As is usual in the echo chamber
of ghost literature, the ghost stories rang loud and clear while the
facts lay quietly subdued out in the back shed. I came across the BBC
piece online and found it very interesting. A check of the ASSAP's
website showed that they still felt the case was one of pareidolia instead
of hoaxing. I found that intriguing and asked them why; they replied
that the photo they'd provided to the BBC during the television investigation
had been a duplicate, and in their opinion the “scan lines” observed
by Paul Thompson had been the result of duplication, not

got plenty of media coverage when the photo was released originally,
and now with the coverage of the explanation he could have enjoyed a
second wave of interest. Indeed, he would have gotten double the exposure. n

There are conflicts in the evidence, but in considering this appeal, the Court must accept the evidence which supports the jury verdict and is most favorable to the prosecution's case. Briefly stated, the facts are as follows:
8
On Saturday, the 22nd day of October, 1967, Evangeline Gatewood and her grandmother went to the town of White River. They spent the day in town and became separated. Late in the evening, Evangeline went to the Apache Flame Bar to find her grandmother. Being unable to find her, she decided to request Toledo Massey to take her home. She testified that she looked to Toledo

to take her home because Toledo's wife is related to Evangeline's father. She thought that they were cousins. While awaiting an opportunity to be taken home, she encountered Fernando Burnette at the car owned by Toledo Massey. She and Fernando got into the car. She was seated in the front seat next to the passenger window and Fernando was seated next to her. She was afraid of Fernando, whom she had never met before, but did not leave the car because she wanted Toledo to take her home. Finally, late at night, Fernando, Toledo and David Edwards agreed to take her home. Instead, they took a route which was not directly to her home but down a side road by the river at Fort Apache.
9
They listened to theradio for a while and drank some beer which they passed around. Evangeline did not drink any of it. Fernando told her to open the door so he could get out of the car. She asked him why and received no reply. Then he forced her to open the door and while both of them were standing close to the door of the car, Toledo got out, grabbed her by the shoulder and started walking with her away from the car. She asked where they were going, but did not receive an answer. She became frightened and started to run. Toledo caught up with her and threw her down on the ground under a walnut tree. She fought him by kicking him and by scratching his face and

hitting him with her hands. Toledo twisted her knee, causing a painful injury which was severe enough to prevent her from being able to walk. Toledo then raised her skirt and tore it, tore off her panties and raped her. She screamed for help and the other two boys came up, but instead of helping Evangeline, they assisted Toledo by holding her arms so that she was unable to continue to fight.
10
When Toledo had finished his act of intercourse, he and David Edwards helped hold Evangeline down and Fernando proceeded to rape her, followed then by David and again by Toledo and again by Fernando. They then carried her to the car, drove her to a place on the road approximately 150 yards from her father's home andput her out of the car. She was unable to walk, but crawled under a barbed wire fence toward her home. She commenced to scream and call her father's name and he eventually found her. He brought her to the home and put her on the bed and called the police. Evangeline told him that she had been raped by the three boys.
11
When the police arrived, they took her to the hospital. She was hospitalized for 22 days. The latter part of the time she was in a wheel chair because of the injury to her leg.
12
The examining doctor testified to her physical injuries and her appearance at the time of admission. She was visibly in pain, complained about the injury to her leg and she was crying.

and we went to places together." An objection to this statement was sustained. The testimony was stricken and the jury instructed to disregard it. The objection was that impeachment cannot be based upon immaterial matter.
A second question was asked:
15
"Q. Did she say she lived with Sherman Wool?
16
"A. Yes."
17
The motion to strike this answer on the same ground was granted, the court saying that the statement was equivocal and didn't have anything probative in it in the area in which the examination was going and it was ordered stricken on the basis that it was an equivocal statement.
18
Appellants argue that the stricken testimony constituted evidence of prior acts of unchastity and that it was admissible for the purpose of impeachment. The sole question on appeal is whether it wasthe statement was equivocal depends upon the surrounding circumstances. The two people involved were both young people of an age when in the normal course both would be "living with" some adult. At the time of the incident in question, Evangeline was living with her father. Without any explanation in the record that at the unspecified time when Evangeline was said to have lived with Sherman Wool, he and she were not also living with responsible adults, it is highly questionable as to whether the jury would be entitled to draw the inference that the situation involved a lack of chastity.
21
Furthermore, it should be noted that the court observed that the statement didn't have anything probative in it in the area in which the examination was going. Doubtlessly,

Tim said he feels a lot of sympathy with the family's plight, but warned whoever chops down the hedges could become "the most hated man in Finsbury Park and beyond".
He told the Gazette the man has twice tried to cut the elephants down, and joked that, on both occasions, "neighbours came out and rugby tackled him". The topiarist claims there are "lots of local vigilantes" guarding his work.
The elephants are also threatened by honey rot, which has infected bits of the hedge. This has already led to the head of the elephant in Romilly Road being trimmed back, and Tim is in the process of reshaping it so it's facing the other way around.

This week, Narendra Modi will make his first visit to the UK since winning the Indian premiership in 2014. His packed schedule will include lunch with the queen, an overnight stay at the prime minister's country residence Chequers, and an address to a crowd of up to 70,000 British Indians at London's Wembley Stadium. This warm reception is quite a turnaround given thatuntil last year Modi was banned from entering the UK at all, due to his alleged role in deadly anti-Muslim riots in Gujarat that took place in 2002 while he was chief minister of the state. Religious intolerance in India has made headlines worldwide after a series of high profile incidents including the lynching to death of a man accused of eating beef in September.

Last Thursday morning with just one swimmer, Olympic 200 backstroker Clementine Stoney, under his charge, he left the pool where he has coached his famous charge Alex Popov and Australian champions Michael Klim, Matt Dunn, Nicole Livingston (Stevenson) and Sarah Ryan since he transferred allegiances from Mother Russia in 1993.

BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil -- Tight and tense as it was, it was enough to keep Brazil's national obsession of winning the World Cup on home soil from taking a desperately disappointing turn.
And it wasn't Neymar, the country's poster boy for this year's World Cup, that played the key role this time. It was goalkeeper Julio Cesar, the country's scapegoat from the last World Cup, who made several crucial saves and even got some help from the woodwork in a 3-2 penalty shootout win over Chile.
With the score level at 1-1 on Saturday, Brazil was inches away from an early exit when Chile forward Mauricio Pinilla hit the crossbar in the final moments of extra time.
Then, on the final kick of the match

Neymar, David Luiz and Marcelo scored in the shootout, and Cesar saved penalties from Pinilla and Alexis Sanchez before watching Jara's final attempt hit the post.
The game over, some Brazilian players fell to the ground, exhausted and emotionally drained. Willian, who missed a penalty for Brazil, sobbed uncontrollably, as Fred helped him to his feet.
Colombia 2, Uruguay 0
RIO DE JANEIRO -- James Rodriguez scored one of the best goals of the tournament and then added a second to put Colombia into the World Cup quarterfinals for the first time with a 2-0 win over Uruguay on Saturday.
Rodriguez gave his team the lead with a stunning long-range volley on the turn in the 28th minute and netted the second from close range shortly after the break as Colombiadominated a Uruguay side that sorely missed banned striker Luis Suarez.
Rodriguez now has a tournament-leading five goals in Brazil and further enhanced his status as perhaps the tournament's biggest revelation.
Uruguay, meanwhile, struggled badly in attack without Suarez and his replacement Diego Forlan was substituted in the 53rd after a disappointing performance in what was probably his final World Cup appearance.
Colombia will play Brazil in the quarterfinals on July 4 in Fortaleza after the host beat Chile in a penalty shootout earlier Saturday.
Rodriguez showed once again that the Brazilians have every reason to be wary.
The opener was his most spectacular goal yet. He chested the ball down with his back to goal well outside the area and in one fluid motion turned around and fired a left-foot volley that

The National Crime Agency (NCA) is examining evidence of new Russian links to Arron Banks, the Brexit campaign’s largest donor.
The crime-fighting agency has been handed a cache of the millionaire businessman’s emails that reveal undisclosed meetings between him and the Russian ambassador in London.
The leaked communications show that Banks was offered three Russian business deals during the Brexit campaign — two more than previously thought — including a gold mine venture in Guinea, west Africa, and a lucrative stake in the privatisation of Alrosa, Russia’s state-controlled diamond miner.
One of the gold deals came from the director of a bank closed in 2014 amid suspicions of Russian money-laundering.

This afternoon, the Geelong Football Club decided to part company with forward Mitch Clark after an injury riddled two years at the Cats.
For the 29-year-old, Geelong was Clark’s third AFL club after stints at the Brisbane Lions, and at Melbourne.
Clark played just nine games in his two years at the Cats with just the one senior appearance in the hoops this season, coming in Round 16 against the Sydney Swans.
Since his debut with the Lions in 2006, Clark notched up 106 AFL games, though he missed the majority of the 2014 season after a well-publicised battle with mental health issues, which caused him to step away from the game.
Clark kicked 111 goals during his AFL career, with a best of 29 coming in 11

A quarterback’s average depth of target offers a reasonable proxy for how aggressive a passer is over the course of several games. That measure, ADoT for short, looks at how far the ball travels from the line of scrimmage to the intended receiver, regardless of whether that receiver caught it.
Last year, quarterbacks threw at targets between 11.0 yards from the line of scrimmage and 6.9 yards from the line of scrimmage (Cam Newton had the deepest targets, and Alex Smith had the shallowest)… with one exception: Bradford.
Bradford threw only 6.6 yards downfield on an average pass, the second-lowest of any quarterback in any individual season in the last ten years (the first being, of course, Alex Smith in 2014).

notes on.
Contrary to last week, where Elflein was praised for more than his play warranted, the Ohio State alum didn’t receive enough attention for a very good game, with only two clear mistakes at center in his 23 snaps at center — one of them somewhat arguable, too.
Elflein had issues with aiming at the second level last week and replicated somewhat similar issues this week, with a big whiff at the beginning of the second half (saved by Jerick McKinnon bouncing out) and a very late peel off of a double team later in the half.
This seems to be a consistent problem that he’ll want to target, but he overall had a very good game.
In 16 snaps at center, Easton wasn’t as successful as Elflein was in hisso snaps he played with the ones and twos, he committed eight blocking failures.
Boone was more consistent as well, though probably will still want to work on his run blocking while on the move, because he did miss some key blocks in those situations.
The best performing first-team player in this game was probably somebody that has had a poor offseason but was the best along the line last year: Joe Berger. If Berger can return to a form much better than he looked like in training camp, that would be a fantastic development for a beleaguered line.
Unfortunately, Mike Remmers continues to demonstrate problems along the line. In pass protection, he’s been a liability. He’s even caused problems in the running game, with a missed block at the second

After splitting with coach Michael Bohl following the Games, Larkin had a stint in Simon Cusack's sprint-focused program, before settling with Dean Boxall.
The switches meant Larkin has had a difficult year, but he has no regrets.
"The work with Simon was really good, I certainly learnt a lot from that and I don't regret anything I trialled or experimented with and it opened my eyes," said Larkin, who seems to respond better to the aerobic and endurance focus of Boxall's high-volume program.

Taylor was never a pacifier baby, hated them from the start, and if you're a new mother you soon find out that one of the quickest ways to soothe a fussy baby or get them to sleep and stay asleep is to cue that inherent sucking reflex. My girl had found a way to self-soothe and suddenly I knew things were gonna turn around in our house, and they did. Whenever Taylor started to get the least bit fussy (granted she wasn't hungry) she'd just pop those fingers in her mouth and settle herself down. And I never had to do the dreaded waking up in the middle of the night thing to go in

and stick the paci back in her mouth because she had lost it and couldn't find it. She always knew where her fingers were.
Fast forward 6 years and my sweet girl was still sucking her fingers at a now alarming rate. She held it in all day at school, but by the time she got home from school she was jonesing so bad for her fingers that it was all I could do to force them out of her mouth to eat dinner. It was starting to affect her bite structure and it was just really annoying for me to see my 6 year old sucking her fingers all the time, and of course she still sucked them at night to go to bed. It was a problem,to stop, but it's been a tough 4 weeks. She hasn't been sleeping well because some nights out of habit she'll stick her fingers in her mouth and then wake up and have to wash her mouth out, or it will take her an hour to fall asleep as opposed to 3 seconds flat. She's tired and she's cranky and oh man has she been defiant, which is what led me to that whole "I can't wait for school to start again" statement.
Later that day after I wrote that post, I started thinking about Taylor's situation as I watched her play in the sand. Here she is, giving up a habit cold-turkey, that she's done hundreds of times a day for 6 years now. It's been her first

ELECTION 2000: Uncertainty Wins by a Landslide.
Scientists seeking order from the chaos of the U.S. election results may have a long wait. With the closest presidential election in a generation still undecided as Science went to press and the winners in several closely watched Senate and House races also unknown, it may be months before researchers and science lobbyists know who will fill influential posts in Congress and the new Administration for shaping science policies and budgets.Beijing (AFP) - Speculation that Kim Jong Un visited Beijing on his first-ever foreign trip as North Korea's leader was rife after Japanese media reported the arrival and departure of a special train met by an honour guard.
Heightened security at possible venues for a high-level meeting, motorcades driven under police escort, and a non-denial from Chinese authorities Tuesday also fuelled the belief that Kim had come to pay his respects to President Xi Jinping.
If confirmed, it would mark Kim's first trip abroad since coming to power in 2011 and signal an intriguing twist in a rapid diplomatic thaw that has opened the door to plans for separate summits between Kim and the presidents of South Korea and the United States.
Japan's Kyodo news agency reported the train's departure from

Trump and the North Korean leader in May.
"The president is obviously being kept up to speed on a number of fronts when it comes to North Korea and preparations," Sanders said.
Some analysts suggested China -- the North's only major ally -- had been sidelined by Pyongyang's approaches to Seoul and Washington, but a visit by Kim would put Beijing firmly back at the centre of the diplomatic scrum.
Story continues
Bill Bishop, publisher of the Sinocism China Newsletter, said Xi likely wanted to meet Kim before any talks with Trump.
"They're concerned about being left out, with the North Koreans directly cutting a deal with the Americans that doesn't necessarily reflect Chinese interests," Bishop told AFP.
At the Diaoyutai guest house, where Kim's late father Kim Jong Il stayed during his visitsto Beijing, there was an unusually heavy police presence with officers stationed every 50-100 metres in front of the imposing compound.
An AFP photographer saw a motorcade of limousines leave the guest house under a police escort on Tuesday morning.
There was also heightened security at two possible venues for a high-level meeting -- the Great Hall of the People and Zhongnanhai, the central leadership compound next to Beijing's Forbidden City.
South Korea's biggest-selling newspaper Choson Ilbo cited a senior Seoul intelligence official as saying that Kim had been the visitor. Other media speculated it might have been Kim's sister Kim Yo Jong or the country's ceremonial head of state Kim Yong Nam.

that used for foreign visits by Kim Jong Il -- pulling into Beijing Station and being met by a military honour guard and a convoy of black limousines.
China's Weibo micro-blog was censoring searches for Kim Jong Un's name and variations on it Tuesday. Beijing often tightens news controls during sensitive political periods.
South Korean broadcaster SBS TV said guests at a hotel in the border city of Dandong, overlooking the railway from China to North Korea, had been asked to leave and curtains were drawn across the windows.
Kim Jong Il, who was known to be fearful of flying, visited China several times on his private armoured train. His visits were confirmed by Chinese and North Korean state media only after he had left the country.
The younger Kim has notundertaken any official trip abroad since taking power following his father's death in December 2011. And he has yet to host a single head of state, having snubbed the president of Mongolia, who visited Pyongyang in 2013.
The government in Seoul said only that it was closely monitoring the situation.
For decades, Beijing has been Pyongyang's key diplomatic protector and main source of trade and aid, but their relationship has soured in recent years.
Kim broke with tradition by not travelling to Beijing to pay his respects to Xi after the Chinese leader came to power, and Beijing has become increasingly frustrated with its neighbour's nuclear weapons programme -- showing a new willingness to agree to, and enforce, tougher UN sanctions.
At the same time, Beijing fears the collapse of the regime

there mention of abortion.
According to the Christian religion, God him/itself was incarnated as Jesus Christ and was never once quoted as speaking about abortion.
The practice, however, was not foreign to the times of Jesus or the people of the region. It is mentioned by Greek historians, doctors, and philosophers such as Plato in Theaetetus.
The first evidence of abortion goes as far back as 1550 B.C. in the Egyptian Ebers Papyrus.
Clearly, the people of Jesus’s time would have been familiar with the practice and yet the figure of the divine in the Christian tradition had no desire to talk on the subject.
Abortion is not a Christian concern, at least not one based on its founding tradition. It would appear to be a political narrative implanted in a vulnerable, stressed,Jason Miller/Getty Images
Despite the Cleveland Browns finishing 0-16 in 2017 following Sunday's 28-24 defeat to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Hue Jackson will apparently return for a third year as the team's head coach.
Browns owner Jimmy Haslam told reporters after the game he intends to retain Jackson for 2018, Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot reported.
All signs seemingly pointed to Jackson's departure from Cleveland with the conclusion of the season.
For one, the team fired Sashi Brown as the executive vice president of football operations and hired John Dorsey to replace him as the new general manager. The assumption was a new front office would want a new head coach.
There's also the fact Jackson has failed the one task he was supposed to address.

We are publishing below a statement sent to us by the Indian Association of Commonwealth Literature and Language Studies against the suppression and criminalizing of dissent in India
The Indian Association of Commonwealth Literature and Language Studies (IACLALS) expresses its deep dismay over the continuing assault on civic freedoms and constitutional rights of writers, teachers, students, human rights activists and public intellectuals in the country. The current political climate of fear and intimidation – fuelled and vindicated by the state and the ruling party – has simultaneously targetted entire communities through a range of religious-ethnic violence, as much as it has sought to silence conscientious voices that have spoken up against such onslaughts. Vacuous rhetorical constructions like “anti-national” and “urban naxal” – with no basis infact or in principles of democratic governance – have been repeatedly manufactured as the grounds for punitive-legal action and media trials, through the invoking of outdated colonial codes like the sedition laws. The latest of these forms of orchestrated witch-hunt has seen the attempted arrest or chargesheeting of Hiren Gohain, Anand Teltumbde and of several JNU students – in the cause of raking up an electoral consensus against the spirit of scientific inquiry and free-thinking.
The IACLALS’ academic investments have engaged with and gained from the works and ideas of these scholars, who now face the ire of the state. As a scholarly association, we believe in the need and power of a critical public sphere, as the only promise of a living democracy. We stand in firm solidarity

Beattie scored 141 goals in 497 club appearances during his playing career
Former Accrington Stanley boss James Beattie has confirmed he has applied for the vacant managerial post at League One club Gillingham.
The 36-year-old has been out of work since parting company with League Two side Stanley in September.
Gills chairman Paul Scally is targeting a "younger, more flamboyant manager" after sacking Peter Taylor, 62.
"I've applied for the job and am just waiting to hear back from them," Beattie told BBC Radio 4.
"Hopefully it will be a positive outcome."
Taylor was sacked on New Year's Eve with the Gills one place and two points above the relegation zone.
With a four-man caretaker team in charge since Taylor's departure, the Kent club have since slipped into thebottom four on goal difference.
Scally, who is based in Dubai, wrote an open letter to the club's supporters on Tuesday stating that interviews for a new manager would take place this week and next.
However he stated he had "no idea" who he would appoint and that the club "will not rush into a decision".

Former Southampton, Everton and England striker Beattie was in charge at Accrington for 16 months, having initially been a player-coach at the Lancashire club.
The club finished 15th in League Two last season but Beattie left the Crown Ground by mutual consent after six games of the current campaign.
Beattie is currently spending a week with Premier League side Swansea, shadowing manager Garry Monk.
"I'm in with Garry and his team this week and seeing how they prepare," he said.
"I've been into a number of different clubs doing the same and seeing if I can pick up any trinkets of information."
Meanwhile, Newport County manager Justin Edinburgh says he has had no contact from the Gills about replacing Taylor at the Priestfield Stadium.perfectly clear that you swim at your own risk.
The thing is, when it's boiling hot and the water is lovely and cold, it's sometimes hard to make a rational decision. But so far we've been OK.
Kakadu sits around 300km or so south of Darwin. We got here through the back roads, through Limmen National Park, another awesome stretch of Northern Territory wildnerness. It was around 400km of nothingness, but it had its own fragile beauty - particularly Butterfly Springs, an oasis in an otherwise barren and dry land.
A big saltie!
The Northern Territories does things its own way. It's the only place in the country where mining is permitted in national parks for example - cue hue and cry from the greenies - and it has an open road

Evelyn "Curly" Hallett Roehl, age 100, of Janesville, passed away Saturday, Feb. 8, 2014, at Rock Haven, Janesville. She was the daughter of Charles and Hattie (Honeysett) Hallett. She married Edwin Roehl on Feb. 27, 1931. He predeceased her on Sept. 27, 1983. She worked at Sears for 25 years, retiring in 1978. She was a member of Zion Lutheran Church, Town of Center.
"Curly" is survived by two sons, Kenneth of Seattle, and Allen (Mary) of Milton. Further survivors include four grandsons: Bradley (Sharon), Jeff (Dawn) of Milton, Scott (Lavonne) Benash of Janesville, and Gary (friend, Lisa) Roehl of Seattle; three granddaughters: Tara Roehl Linder of Anacortes, WA, Jennifer (friend Dan) Roehl of Woodbury, MN, and Betsy Roehl (Scott) Schroeder of Janesville. Hertheir first road win of the season. This Saturday, the Zips will travel to Northern Ill-uh-noise for a contest that on any other weekend would have been the shoo-in for Pillow Fight of the Week, but instead it will settle for being the undercard to ...
... Pillow Fight of the Week of the Year of the Century, Episode II: The Rise of Edsall. This game is so big that Randy Edsall has even taken time off from his stint as Emperor Palpatine's stand-in during postproduction of the new Star Wars film to make sure he's there to coach at UMass. Last weekend, the 24-17 loss to Houston looked like a valiant effort, until one remembers that the Cougars are tanking harder than Nemo and Dory.

Georgia Southern, which has won two games in a row, against South Alabama and Coastal Carolina. The win at Coastal was a three-overtime affair that included an impromptu "Mo Bamba" dance-off between the third and fourth quarters, leading to every player on both teams being penalized and three ejections. They needed me there. I always dance awesome when I'm at Myrtle Beach. Or so the DJ at the Magic Attic always told me.

MONTAGNE: "The Wangs Vs. The World" is an American road novel, set against the mortgage banking collapse of 2008. The Wangs of the title are the family of Charles Wang, a self-made cosmetics mogul, who have lived the American success story for only a single generation before seeing it all evaporate in the financial downturn.
Our colleague, Steve Inskeep, spoke with the author, Jade Chang, about writing a novel that's a rebellion against the traditional immigrant story.
CHANG: You know, in the sense that I didn't want to write about immigrants or people of color who feel like they just have to struggle to measure up, who feel like they want to emulate white people basically. I wanted to write about people who feel like they are entirely central

to their own story, and central to the story of America. Because that's how I feel. That's how I see things.
STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:
Well, I want to point out for people. Charles Wang, the central character of this novel, he's an immigrant. He's come to America. He's worked hard. He's made millions and then lost them again. So he's embraced America. But his attitude is really a little bit that America is beneath him?
CHANG: Yeah. You know, he was so fun to write because he is really just this brash, kind of larger than life - brilliant, but also very abrasive (laughter). A man who has a lot of love for his children and who just kind of charges at the world like a bull.
INSKEEP: Thinking fast, cuts aUnited States because she claims that she has suffered persecution by the Chinese government on account of her religious beliefs, specifically on account of her participation in an unauthorized Christian house church. She fears future persecution should she return to China.
Tang was born in 1985. Her father is a transportation worker, and her mother is a director of a government family planning office. She grew up attending a government-sponsored Catholic church with her grandmother, but she left because she did not like the church. While in high school, she was introduced to an underground family church by a friend and believes that she became a Christian at that time.
The underground church met at her pastor's home, where the church members studied the Bible, sang, gave testimonies, and prayed.

police station every Friday at 2:00 p.m. The police arrested her again in January, February, March, and twice in April 2005, on suspicion that she continued to belong to a family church. Each time she was arrested, she was beaten. When she was arrested in February, she was held for over a week, and when she was released, her parents had to take her to the hospital to be treated for her injuries. She was severely beaten in March when she argued with the police at the station.
Her medical records confirm that, in January 2005, Tang was bruised from beatings "in the back, hand, and feet."[2] She had "multiple bruises" and was "cut on [her] right wrist." Tang's medical records further report that, in March 2005, she was"beate[n] by someone," resulting in "[b]ack, chest, and foot pain with multiple bruises." Additionally, she suffered "three serious internal injuries in the back," as well as "two at the chest." Furthermore, her medical records report that she suffered "[o]ral bleeding," along with "[b]ruises on [the] right side of [her] face." As a further consequence of police brutality, Tang's medical records report that she suffered from "[v]aginal bleeding." Finally, the records state that she was treated for seven days.
Tang was so distraught from this persecution that she could no longer attend school. By the end of April 2005, Tang's mother and grandmother believed she could no longer remain in China and arranged for her to leave. Her grandmother provided her with a French passport and instructed her to leave

her Chinese documentation at home. Tang alleges that she did not know that the French passport she carried was illegally altered until she was so informed by authorities in the United States. She traveled first to Japan, where she remained for a week, but did not stay because "America has more freedom," and her grandmother had arranged for her to go to the United States. While she was in Japan, she called her family, who told her that when she did not show up at the police station as scheduled, the police came to their home and beat up her parents. She then traveled on to the United States.
In her airport interview, when asked the purpose of her travel to the United States, Tang responded that she wasChristian and that there were "no rights [and] no [f]reedom" in China and that the "government must approve what church you can go to." When asked to which church she belonged, she replied, "It's just family style." When asked the name of the church, she replied, "Never went to church, just go to people's houses." In her credible fear interview, she testified about her underground church, multiple arrests and beatings, and that there was nowhere else in China where she could live and be safe.
While in the United States, Tang has been living with her aunt and uncle in Andalusia, Alabama. She regularly attends the First Baptist Church in Andalusia and has spoken with the pastor about her religious persecution.

hearing before the IJ, either because they were busy or had to work. The IJ issued an oral decision in which he determined that Tang did not establish eligibility for asylum because she was not credible based on inconsistencies in her testimony as well as her demeanor. The *1275 IJ, after refusing to consider untimely filed documents, found that Tang had failed to present probative corroborating evidence. The IJ found that Tang's responses seemed "well-rehearsed," primarily because she stated, more than once, that she was detained by the Chinese police for "more than 10 days" and because she was unable to answer questions when posed in different ways. The IJ concluded that it was implausible that her mother, a "ranking member of the government of China," would either357 F.3d at 179.
Although the IJ took issue with Tang's characterization of her childhood as without religion, since she attended government-sponsored Catholic church with her grandmother, Tang easily explained this inconsistency by clarifying that she did not consider herself to have had a religion prior to joining the house church. Specifically, she differentiated, in her mind, between "Catholic" and "Christian" churches, as follows:
Q. Okay. Your grandmother is Catholic, so that's also a Christian church, correct?
A. No, that, they are different. Catholic church is different from Christian church.
Transcript of Hearing at 52. She stated consistently throughout her interviews that her grandmother was Catholic. Tang did not personally accept the government-sponsored Catholic church, which she understood to be different from Christianity. Rather, she only decided to belong to a religious

"James A. Caldwell was fifty years of age at the time of his death, lived alone in the East Lake part of Birmingham, Jefferson County, [and] was employed as a math teacher at Huffman High School.
"Co-worker Robert McCary last saw deceased alive on Friday, December 8, 1989.
"On the following Wednesday, McCary and the school principal, Robert Simmons, became suspicious about Mr. Caldwell's absence from work and went to his apartment having called the Birmingham Police Department for an officer to meet them at the home.
"Mr. Caldwell was observed [through] the mail slot in the door lying prostrate in a pool of blood behind the door.

"Dr. Gary Simmons, forensic pathologist, described multiple incised wounds (longer than deep) and stab wounds to the person of the deceased, said wounds being depicted as being about the deceased's head, neck, left ear, chest, abdomen and palm of hand. [He also described several abrasions.]
"Dr. Simmons detailed nineteen incised and/or stab wounds as well as detailing evidence of `severe strangulation,' adduced from `pinpoint' hemorrhaging in the eyes. Dr. Simmons stated that strangulation was not the cause of death, that the decedent was alive when he was being stabbed as evidenced by the hemorrhaging from the wounds.
"According to Dr. Simmons, toxicology revealed no evidence of drug or alcohol ingestion by the deceased, serology testing revealed no

I took the knife and stabbed him three more times in the throat below the Adam's Apple. I let him lay for awhile and searched the rest of the house. The house was junkie. I stole old coins, collections, paper money, loose change, gold and silver rings and a pair of binoculars. I went back over to Jim and I took a small gold ring off his right pinky finger, a nine diamond cluster ring. Then I got his wallet, car keys and money about $60.00 in his pocket and later I found more cashcollection to the pawn shop to sell it. He said he could try to sell the rings at the pawn shop. He didn't know anything about the coins but he would try some coin shops. Tony did not know anything about the car being stolen or the murder. We went to the Gordon Military Pawn Shop on Broad Street. Tony and I went in and had him look at all the rings which was about 25 or 30. Some had settings and some were just settings with the setting removed. Some of them were silver. The man said they did not buy silver. There were only 2 rings he wanted.

The circuit court's findings are supported by the record. At the Rule 32 hearing Gaddy presented the testimony of no family members. Gaddy called his two trial attorneys; Leonard Monteer, a former neighbor of Gaddy's; Lucia Penland, executive director of the Alabama Prison Project; Neil Hartley, a mitigation investigator; and Dr. Marti Loring, a social worker and sociologist.
Leonard Monteer testified that when Gaddy was about 11 or 12 years of age he lived in a house behind Monteer. He said that on several occasions he had seen Gaddy's stepfather hit Gaddy.

was divided into four geographic sectors. Hopkins was assigned to south
Texas, White to east Texas, John Estep to north Texas, and Jack Oswald to west and central Texas.
Each geologist was also assigned to work as "back up" for one of the other areas. From time to time,
it was necessary for the geologists to handle issues and recommendations involving all areas of the
state. Each geologist was responsible for issuing between four and five thousand recommendations
a year.
As early as 1994, Hopkins began to complain to superiors about the quality of his co-worker White's recommendations. Specifically, Hopkins noticed that White was not researching
the location of water in making recommendations and was simply relying on the computer to
automatically generate a response. He also found numerous errorsin White's work that were not
related to reliance on the computer. At trial, Hopkins discussed examples of White's various errors
and testified that White's erroneous recommendations numbered at least in the hundreds. He
emphasized that these erroneous recommendations created a risk for polluting drinking water in the
state. Other geologists in the unit confirmed the poor quality of White's work.
Hopkins initially reported the problem to his immediate supervisor, Phil Carter, and to
the other geologists in the surface casing unit. He also reported the problem to his friend Steve
Wiley, who was a supervisor in the water well drillers section. In March 1995, Hopkins reported
White's erroneous recommendations to Carter's supervisor, Mary Ambrose. Carter also relayed the
problem to Steve Musik, manager of ground water assessment. In response,

Hopkins was asked to
monitor White's work. Hopkins testified that he reported fifty or sixty erroneous recommendations
by White between March and September 1995. White was then placed on a performance
improvement plan in an attempt to address the problem.
Hopkins also alleged that White had a history of harassing women at the Commission.
Hopkins testified that White confided in him about his broken relationship with co-worker Irene
Ritter and that Ritter complained to Hopkins about White's behavior. In early summer 1995, Hopkins
secretly tape-recorded a conversation in which White discussed, in explicit detail, his sexual
relationship with Ritter. (2) Within days of making the tape, Hopkins mentioned it to his friend Wiley,
who was Ritter's supervisor. Hopkins testified that he witnessed White following Ritter around the
office and recalleda conversation he had with Ritter and co-worker Mae Medearis in which Ritter
expressed her frustration that White "won't leave me alone." Medearis testified about the incident
in greater detail. She recounted that she was at her desk when Ritter rushed in "aggravated and
agitated" and exclaimed that White had been following her and was nearby. Medearis confirmed that
Hopkins also came by the door and overheard Ritter soon after the incident. Hopkins later reported
White's harassment of Ritter to Carter, who was the head of the surface casing unit. Hopkins also
told his friend Wiley.
Hopkins presented evidence at trial that White sexually harassed other women at the
office. Jan Giessregan testified that she worked closely with the surface casing unit as a private
consultant. She stated

area. Hopkins determined that approximately one fourth of
the recommendations made by White in his absence were inaccurate. Hopkins again complained to
his supervisor Carter.
White continued to make comments about Ritter to Hopkins. Hopkins again mentioned
to Wiley the secret tape of White relating details of his sexual relationship with Ritter, intimating that
it was bad. Wiley testified that he decided to tell Ritter about the tape and suggested that she listen
to it. He told her that if she was offended, they could bring the matter up with the personnel office.
Ritter testified that she also learned of the tape from two other Commission employees. Ritter
testified that Hopkins eventually played the tape for her in a Commission conference room. Hopkins
told her that shecould use the tape in a sexual harassment complaint against White. Ritter stated that,
after she listened to part of the tape, Hopkins turned it off and explained that there was more. Ritter
told Hopkins that she didn't want to hear any more and that she wanted the tape. Ritter then left the
room without taking the tape. She testified that it was extremely stressful and sickening to go back
to work knowing that her co-workers were aware of the contents of the tape. Hopkins confirmed this
meeting but testified that he left the room while the tape was still playing and that Ritter did not ask
to keep it.
After Ritter reported listening to the tape, the Commission conducted an investigation.
Hopkins could not locate the tape

during the internal Commission investigation, and it was not
produced at trial. Throughout the disciplinary investigation, Hopkins complained to investigators and
his superiors about the quality of White's work and about his sexual harassment of Ritter. As a result
of the investigation, the Commission disciplined those employees who knew about the tape but failed
to report it to the human resources division as required by the agency's sexual harassment policy.
Hopkins was terminated for his misconduct in making the tape and playing it to Ritter.
Hopkins brought suit under the whistleblower act alleging that he was terminated in
retaliation for reporting White's professional and personal misconduct. The case was tried before a
jury. The district court granted a directed verdict as to retaliation for reporting White's sexual
harassment and submittedthe rest of Hopkins's whistleblower claim to the jury. The jury determined
that the Commission retaliated against Hopkins for reporting what he in good faith believed to be a
violation of law to an appropriate law enforcement authority. The jury found that Hopkins had
suffered a loss of earning capacity in the past in the amount of $154,000 and in the future in the
amount of $250,000, as well as mental anguish in the past in the amount of $300,000. Finally, the
jury found that a reasonable and necessary fee for Hopkins's attorney was $80,000. In total, Hopkins
was awarded $784,000. The district court granted the Commission's first motion for JNOV in part,
reducing the award to $240,000 in light of the statutory cap on damages. Later, the district

law that he believed had been
violated. Rather, he stated his concerns about pollution and made general assertions that incorrect
information on recommendations would lead to liability:
I felt the groundwater was in danger of being contaminated. I also felt that we were
totally liable for these mistakes. From the time I went to work for surface casing in
1980, it was preached to us, there was memos that came down that you could be sued
and the State was not going to back you, and that concerned me. And they also said
the State, the operator and the Railroad Commission were also liable.
Hopkins explained that he believed the potential liability was from a suit by affected landowners.
He made no mention of criminal or administrative penalties. His own explanationwhich time the Court altered the language on the order setting the due date for the
Commission's response as July 2. Hopkins complains that the order improperly extended the
deadline for the Commission's response to his requests for admissions an extra four days. The
Commission avers that the matter was discussed in correspondence between the parties and that the
issue was resolved at a hearing held on August 16. Hopkins has not included the Commission's
response, the correspondence, or the transcript of the August 16 hearing in the record. On this scant
record, we cannot conclude that the trial court abused its discretion in allowing the Commission four
extra days to respond to Hopkins's requests for admissions. We overrule Hopkins's seventeenth and
eighteenth issues.

I was born in Chicago and grew up in Grand Rapids Michigan USA where I attended Calvin College. I spent a year as an agricultural volunteer in Nigeria, West Africa before continuing my education with an MS in Biology from Central Michigan University and a PhD in Forest Ecology from Purdue University, After completing my PhD in 1993, I took a position at Stephen F. Austin state University (SFASU) in the east Texas Pineywoods. I teach both undergraduate and graduate courses in areas including general biology, botany, local flora, plant systematics, plant ecology, and wetland ecology. My research interests include description and analysis of the natural vegetation and ecosystems of the Texas Pineywoods and the West Gulf Coastal Plain (USA) the impact of invasive species such as giantMoreover, the ecological future of the earth may depend on decisions made by humans from our generation. For these reasons, a basic knowledge of life-processes and an awareness of the biological world is a vital part of any education regardless of what profession one is preparing for. This course introduces you the central concepts of modern biology: the Cell Theory, the Central Dogma, the Theory of Evolution, and the Concept of Ecosystems. Along the way you will discover many of the sub-disciplines of biology including cell and molecular biology, genetics, botany, zoology, physiology, and ecology. The course includes four lecture tests worth approximately 17% of the course grade each and a laboratory section worth 33 % of the grade. The course is aimed at non-Biology majors and is

of identifying, naming, and classifying plants. This course consists of a closely-integrated concurrent laboratory and lecture section. It introduces students to the classification, naming, diversity and phylogeny (evolutionary-descent patterns) of plants. Students are also exposed to the principal natural habitat types of the east Texas Pineywoods and the vascular plant species that characterize them. Weekly field trips enable students to learn to identify approximately 120 local native and naturalized species on sight. Two lecture tests, a final, a series of laboratory exercises and quizzes comprise the course grade. Graduate students also collect and prepare a series of herbarium specimens. Current students should refer to the D2L page for this course to find the syllabus, course notes, and other resources.
Course topics and activities include:

Within the West Gulf Coastal Plain, the forests of east Texas are known as the Pineywoods -a term that may also include adjacent parts of Louisiana. This on-going project involves writing a book summarizing more than 20 years of my vegetation ecology research in the region. The manuscript currently stands at 70 pages of pure text in 10 chapters along with 45 figures and tables and a collection of photographs representing indicator species for each local ecosystem type.

six vegetation types for the baldcypress swamp ecosystem at Caddo Lake yielded a publication and formed the basis for an on-going long term permanent-plot study documenting vegetation changes, some associated with growing populations of non-native invasive species. The work was funded by a grant from the US National Biological Service.
Twenty Years of Vegetation Change at Caddo Lake, Texas
Long-Term Vegetation Monitoring: 1994-Present
56 GPS-marked plots were revisited six times between 1995 and 2014 in order to observe vegetation.
Abstract
Caddo Lake, on the Texas-Louisiana USA border, includes extensive Taxodium distichum swamps and is an internationally important wetland under the Ramsar Convention. In 1995 we described wetland plant communities along a hydrological gradient. In 2005 we established GPS points marking 56 1000m2 permanent plots at the 1995 locations and re-sampled them in 2005,2009, 2011, 2012, and 2014. 1995 non-woody vegetation was largely dominated by native species with Eichhornia crassipes restricted to a limited area. By 2005 Eichhornia was abundant and Alternanthera philoxeroides and Hydrilla verticillata, had also increased. By 2009, Salvinia molesta had appeared (likely first in 2007) and become widespread while Eichhornia remained abundant. During 2011, a severe drought year with low water levels, Salvinia and ichhorniaE declined in abundance but were still widely distributed spatially. Salvinia recovered strongly in 2012, apparently at the expense of Eichhornia which did not regain former abundances. By 2014, marked declines were observed in several formerly abundant native species including Wolfia columbiana, Spirodella polyrrhiza, Nuphar lutea,and Nelumbo luteum while Salvinia and Alternanthera remained abundant. Non-natives Hygrophylla polysperma and Najas minor also appeared during

Abstract
DespiteInternational started implementing CLTS in their target regions. The research project involved communities in which CLTS had been completed at least 8 months before the survey (November 2014) and control communities in which CLTS had not yet been implemented. The intervention followed the recommendations in the handbook for CLTS \[[@CR1]\]. CLTS consists of three phases: during pre-triggering, CLTS facilitators evaluate the physical and social contexts and current conditions and practices so that they can adapt CLTS to existing circumstances. During the CLTS triggering event, a range of techniques (such as transect walks or open defecation mapping) are used to encourage collective action towards an open-defecation-free environment. This is then supported and monitored during the post-triggering phase.

Spectacular racing by Van Vleuten and Garfoot at Strade Bianche
Sat 4 Mar 2017
The Strade Bianche, the first race of the UCI Women’s World Tour unfolded in spectacular fashion today with Australian national champion Katrin Garfoot and Annemiek van Vleuten both in the top ten after strong performances for ORICA-SCOTT.
Wind and rain played a huge part in the finale with van Vleuten and Garfoot both part of the late attack that battled out the win.
After losing then regaining contact more than once in the closing kilometres, Garfoot crossed the line in 7th place with van Vleuten in 5th behind eventual winner Elisa Longo Borghini (Wiggle-High5).

What an A$$! So needless to say she won the trial...i even saw that there was going to be a movie made about her career called Big Eyes and Kate Hudson was cast to play her.

Adventures in the Fourth Age
The Third Age died in blood and fire. The fall of the dark god Calimar sent catastrophic shockwaves careening across the world. Earthquakes, firestorms, tidal waves, and other disasters both magical and mundane swept the planet’s face. The chaos lasted for days, and when it was over everything had changed. The survivors, shaken and afraid, knew without being told that the old Age was done, and a new time had come. Even the gods looked forward with uncertainty. Nevertheless, the world needed rebuilding, and so it was done.
The birth of the Fourth Age was a messy affair, as births so often are. Wars were fought as new nations arose at the expense of old. Some kingdoms withdrew from the world for a time,

to concentrate on rebuilding within their borders. Others sent envoys and assistance to those in need. Capital, economic and political, changed hands with a speed envied by hummingbirds. For those few brave or foolhardy enough to seek out adventure, it was the beginning of a golden age. Mercenary work was easy to find, and there were ruins aplenty to plunder for riches and lost secrets.
Now, a quarter century after The Fall, some semblance of order has returned to the world. Peace reigns across much of the land, though there is still much to be done. After all, the Fourth Age has barely begun, and there are many stories yet to tell…Before and after treatments, the cows stood further from the handlers in the treatment stall than in the home stall, regardless of color of the overalls. Defecation and urination were more frequent during aversive treatments. After treatment, the cows stood further from the aversive handler than from the gentle handler in both stalls, and distance from the aversive handler was positively correlated with distance from the gentle handler. The cows did not discriminate when the aversive and gentle handlers wore blue overalls (as worn by the usual barn handlers), when two unfamiliar people wore the same color overalls as the handlers, or when the cows were shown photographic slides of the two handlers. In conclusion, the cows learned to discriminate among the handlers, partially based on the color

Two new technicolor biblical mosaics were recently uncovered at a 1,600-year-old synagogue in the Galilean town of Huqoq, joining a growing collection of art, announced UNC-Chapel Hill’s Prof. Jodi Magness on Monday.
The newly unearthed mosaics include the earliest known artistic rendering of the little-known Exodus story of Elim, and a partially preserved depiction of the Book of Daniel’s grotesque four beasts, which signal the end of time. Images of Daniel’s beasts have not yet been released to the media, however, a detail from a mosaic depicting the story of Elim was cleared for publication.
“We’ve uncovered the first depiction of the episode of Elim ever found in ancient Jewish art,” said Magness.

Thetwo new mosaics are part of a growing panoply of dazzling sacred and secular art formed from tiny colorful stones or tesserae that have been uncovered since 2012 by Magness, assistant director Shua Kisilevitz, and a team of archaeologists and volunteers.
Until now, biblical scenes have included well-known stories: Jonah and the whale, the construction of the Tower of Babel, the first spies in Canaan, Noah’s ark, and Pharaoh’s soldiers being swept up in the Red Sea and swallowed up by dozens of fish. Extra-biblical frames on the synagogue floor include a myriad of secular themes, including a zodiac, as well as a portrayal of what is arguably the first purely historical scene in a synagogue.
And now, joining the greatest hits of biblical tales is a brief narrative describing

an oasis found at Elim, as described in Exodus 15:27.
A subliminal tile message?
The story of Elim, largely overlooked in Jewish art until today, occurs shortly after the Israelites fled Egypt, but prior to their long wander in the desert. Elim is described as an oasis, with 12 springs of water and 70 date palms. After a short stay in Marah (a place of bitter water made miraculously sweet), the Elim campsite would have offered a welcome respite.
The mosaic discovered at Huqoq is divided into three horizontal strips, or registers, said Magness.
“We see clusters of dates being harvested by male agricultural workers wearing loincloths, who are sliding the dates down ropes held by other men. The middle register shows a row of wells alternating with date palms. On thethe synagogue is thought to have been constructed in the early fifth century, could the mosaic, assembled in the fifth century, be a subliminal message, harkening to the waning powers of the Great Sanhedrin, disbanded by the Byzantine Empire in 425 CE?
Magness told The Times of Israel that she does not reject this hypothesis, however, scholars Ra’anan Boustan and Karen Britt have yet to fully research and publish their conclusions.
A beast of a mosaic
A second surprising mosaic was uncovered in the synagogue’s north aisle, with panels depicting beasts that are described in chapter 7 of the Book of Daniel. There, the Babylonian-captive prophet uses the creatures to represent the four kingdoms leading up to the end of days, explained Magness. The identification of the beasts was confirmed through

farms, which draw customers willing to pay for such activity, exist in many other countries including Denmark, where an underground market reportedly has flourished in response to bestiality bans recently imposed in Norway, Germany and Sweden.
Sexual contact with animals is banned throughout most of the United States except: Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Kentucky, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Vermont, Washington, D.C., West Virginia and Wyoming, according to a listing compiled in 2014 by Michigan State University's Animal Legal & Historical Center.
"Regardless of the philosophical platform from which one views the activity, bestiality is criminally sanctioned in a majority of states," the Animal Legal & Historical Center said. "Even if a state does not specifically proscribe the activity, it may be covered underother aspects of a state’s sex crimes code or even a broader animal cruelty law."
It takes just one highly publicized case to bring bestiality to the forefront of public consciousness.
In 2005, Seattle family man Kenneth Pinyan died of peritonitis from a perforated colon after having anal sex with a stallion. His case became national news because he didn't want to go to the hospital for fear of losing his security clearance at work, even though his actions were not illegal in Washington at the time. He was dropped off anonymously at the hospital, dead on arrival, by James Tait, who recorded the act and later disseminated video footage of it online. Washington authorities said that Tait helped run an animal sex farm advertised online as a tourist destination.

The owners of the horses and barn were upset to learn that people were sneaking into the stalls to have sex with their horses.
The incident was widely reported because of its notoriety, prompting Washington lawmakers to make bestiality a felony crime in 2006. The incident was recounted in a documentary that debuted at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival.
Tait went on to run a similar animal sex farm in Tennessee. Numerous video recordings were discovered showing people having sex with animals housed there. When Tait admitted to having sex with ponies and other animals, a law enforcement official expressed relief that the case was over. "It has brought a lot of embarrassment and humiliation to the community and this town," Maury County Detective Sgt. Terry Chandler told a newsagency.
Lawmakers appear to be just as uncomfortable, at least in Vermont, where Joanne Bourbeau said the sexual abuse of animals is more common than most realize.
Bourbeau, director of the Humane Society of the United States' northeastern region, is a founding member of the Vermont Animal Cruelty Response Coalition. She refers to animals as "perfect victims" because they can't speak up about their injuries.
That silence along with legislators' reluctance to have their names associated with a bestiality bill have thwarted efforts to explicitly outlaw having sex with animals in Vermont, she said.
"The public and lawmakers are so uncomfortable, they don't want to discuss it,” Bourbeau said. "Animal-cruelty laws don't necessarily cover (bestiality) unless the animal sustains physical injuries, so you can't necessarily make a case for it. In some

Is this baby being rude and disrespectful because the parent is on an important phone call and cannot be interrupted? Of course not.
This baby is communicating that he* is in a state of stress; he is voicing his needs. He is unequipped to self-regulate, and he is unable to calm his own nervous system down. He does not have the ability to self-regulate and he is acting from an instinctual place to communicate his need for nurturing, food, or some other unmet need. In other words, this baby is unaware of anybody else's agenda. He cares nothing about his parent's important phone call; he refuses to be quiet even when his parent whispers "shhhhhh";of her experience and insight on understanding trauma, disruptive behaviors, and adoption-related issues comes from her direct mothering experience of her two adopted children.

At least six persons from Karnataka were confirmed to killed in Sunday’s blasts in Sri Lanka, chief minister HD Kumaraswamy’s office confirmed. Of them, five were workers of the Janata Dal (Secular) party.
Kumaraswamy said four victims – Lakshmana Gowda Ramesh, KM Lakshminarayan, M Rangappa and KG Hanumantharayappa – were touring Sri Lanka, along with H Shivukumar, Maregowda and H Puttaraju.
“I am deeply pained at the loss of their lives in the heinous attack. They were also committed workers of our party and their death has brought immense sorrow to us,” the chief minister said on Twitter on Monday.
Kumaraswamy said Shivukumar, Maregowda and Puttaraju were missing. His office confirmed later that Shivukumar too was killed in the attack . All five were staying atthe Shangri La hotel in Colombo, according to Rajat B, a friend of one of the victims’ son.
Rajat said the group, all of whom hailed from Nelamangala on the outskirts of Bengaluru, had left for Sri Lanka on Saturday, after polling was completed for the first phase of 14 seats in the state.
“My friend Chetan, son of Hanumantharayappa, was not able to trace his father and so I helped him try and reach people on Sunday after news broke out about the blasts,” he said. “Early Monday morning the official information was passed on confirming his death,” he added.
Later on Monday, officials confirmed the death of 46-year-old SR Nagaraj, who hailed from Bengaluru.

The result would be a much more detailed, 3-D image, utilizing photographs of the stone itself as well as the paper squeeze rescued by Sheikh Jamil on horseback and others made later by Clermont-Ganneau on the already broken stone.
Using Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) — essentially taking pictures of the artifact from a variety of angles and light sources — in 2015 Langlois and a team of scientists photographed the stele and its original squeeze at the Louvre, as well as additional squeezes in the Academy of Inscriptions and Fine Letters. Additionally, in 2018, the Louvre with the help of a professional photographer created a high-resolution backlit image of the squeeze, which also indicates depth of engraving.
After layering the images together, in a startling discovery, Langlois found aFor a new mom, nothing caps off nine months of eager anticipation like the moment when she is introduced to her baby for the first time. And while there may be some lingering pain or other physical side effects from the delivery, she is likely overwhelmed with emotion—grateful for the new life she holds in her arms. Baby, too, is glad to finally meet the woman who’s provided his food and shelter for almost a year, but he also has other concerns as he begins to slowly transition to life outside of his mother’s womb.

Because it is necessary to prevent fluid flow to and from the surgical site, the portal must be sealed prior to and subsequent to the introduction of surgical instruments and while such instruments are in place. Furthermore, fluids, such as gaseous phase carbon dioxide or nitrous oxide, may be introduced into the anatomical cavity for insufflation as part of the surgical procedure, and the escape of the gas must be prevented during puncturing and during the endoscopic surgical procedure. Typically, surgical instruments are inserted

Florida Road accident
A woman traveling west on Florida Road (County Road 240) went off the road Thursday while making a right turn, rolling and spinning her Subaru Outback before coming to rest on the right side of the road, said Trooper Chris Balenti of the Colorado State Patrol. Balenti said the driver was taken to a hospital by a family member, but he did not know the extent of her injuries.

Balenti said the driver was taken to a hospital byThe man behind the Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bar, Hershey’s Kisses, Hershey’s Syrup, and the Pennsylvania city that bears his name had spent the winter in France and planned to sail home on the Titanic. The Hershey Community Archives has in its collection a $300 check Hershey wrote to the White Star Line in December 1911, believed to be a 10 percent deposit toward his stateroom, according to archivist Tammy L. Hamilton. Fortunately for Hershey, business back home apparently intervened, and he and his wife instead caught a ship that was sailing earlier, the German liner Amerika. The Amerika would earn its own footnote in the disaster, as one of several ships to send the Titanic warnings of ice in its path.

Jameca Marshall has navigated Slauson Avenue all her life, and she knows how dangerous it is.
"I see folks there walking, I see them biking. I see folks pushing strollers in conditions that most of us would not want to be pushing baby strollers, and moving and trying to get to work," said Marshall, a life-long resident of South Los Angeles.
She was one of about three-dozen residents who attended a meeting of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority last week, asking them to move forward with a project to transform eight miles of abandoned roadway into a bike and pedestrian path. Most of the property is owned by the MTA.
Residents told the board the project was needed in a community known for high obesity and a low rate of car ownership.Many noted that South Los Angeles is also "park poor," with less than 2 acres of park space for every 1,000 residents. By comparion, West Los Angeles has more than 50 acres of park space for every 1,000 residents.
The proposal before the MTA was authored by board member Mark Ridley-Thomas, who represents the area on the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors.
After an hour-long discussion, the board approved $2.8 million to plan a "rail-to-river" path along Slauson Avenue from the Los Angeles River to the Crenshaw Metro line — one of the most blighted parts of the city.
The total price tag is expected to be $35 million, and the project could take up to 10 years to complete.
And that's where MTA members disagreed.
"I think it's a good project,"

When the Oakland Athletics sent their ace Sonny Gray to the New York Yankees last summer, the trade was not unexpected. The return the Oakland Athletics received for the 2015 Top-Three Cy Young Award finalist, Sonny Gray, was rather unexpected however. The A’s received three prospects from the Yankees, two of whom had already been rendered out for the season. It’s hard not to admit that it is strange for a team to trade their most well-known player for three prospects, two of which were already injured. The Yankees sent outfielder Dustin Fowler, infielder/outfielder Jorge Mateo and right-hander James Kaprielian to Oakland. Kaprielian had Tommy John surgery last […]them — work super hard to bring us the entertainment we crave all the time!
It's not surprising these celebs cancel concerts or go away because of exhaustion! Srsly!!

The "Cheap Thrills" singer has been sober for six years, and she took to social media to thank those who have supported her throughout the journey. "6 years sober today. Thank you to all those who have contributed knowingly and unknowingly," she tweeted. "I love you, keep going."
In January, Sia admitted on The Late Late Show that she had struggled with drugs and alcohol abuse throughout her career. "I was a singer already for like 10 or 11 years to mediocre success, and I was an alcoholic and a drug addict, and I sobered up and decided I didn't want to be an artist any more," she said.

Now, Lovato is a co-owner of a rehab facility and tries to use her voice in any way she can to help others.

"At least they could cover themselves and keep themselves up off the ground because they were sick all the time.
"It had wheels and a handle out the front and they had to pull it by hand, moving it as they moved the sheep.
"But it was a very hard life."

As a result, the shorter lengths of fiber can be more easily displaced by the pins thereby permitting the pins to penetrate deeper into the sheet for contacting the next inelastic continuous fiber.
After the perforations have been formed, preparations are made for the cure cycle. In particular, the perforation-pressure pad typically is removed and a second more flexible consolidation pressure pad is placed on top of the pins. Similar to the perforation pressure pad, the consolidation pressure pad ordinarily is a sheet of a silicone rubber material.
In the cure cycle, the tool base and a vacuum bagging film enclose the assemblage of the pinmats, the laminate sheet, and the consolidation pressure pad. Then, this assemblage is placed into an autoclave machine for applying predetermined amounts of

Bole, defendant's daughter from a previous marriage, and the victim, defendant's stepdaughter. The victim testified that defendant started having intercourse with her when she was 11 years old. She was 15 years old at the sentencing hearing. She stated that defendant had sex with her over 100 times. The victim said that defendant fondled her and also had her perform certain sexual acts on defendant whenever the victim's mother left the house and that these incidents occurred several times a week. The victim had attempted suicide mainly by clawing at herself.
Defendant presented the testimony of a psychologist, Dr. Gerald Girdaukas, regarding defendant's prospects for rehabilitation through counseling. Three men from defendant's church, who were co-owners of Cornerstone Waste Systems, testified for defendant. They would provide defendant with aconsecutive terms of imprisonment where defendant was convicted of one count of aggravated criminal sexual assault which occurred in 1985 and one count of aggravated criminal sexual assault which occurred in 1986. The offenses were against the same victim.

He was convicted of two counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault, both counts against the same victim, occurring on January 29, 1989.

Limbo Excavated
Adam Gibney’s first solo exhibition, ‘Limbo Excavated’ is currently on view at Plane/Site (IMOCA/Moxie).
On arrival I could hear a composite of sound works in the distance. I firststopped at a circular set of televisions that were laid out in a bright alcove, and ring-fenced by their own wiring. In the centre, a radio instructed the circle to display a cycle of bright primary colours. The televisions could not maintain synchrony with their rapid instructions, and the radio instructed them to stop – their mishaps ended in a temporary broadcast of fuzzy monochromatic static, before launching back into coloured life. Of the seven works in the exhibition, all included constant transmissions of recorded speech, and all employed their recordings as an instructional device for another machine.
The main warehouse area had its windows blacked out, and was lit by spotlights, projectors and fluorescent tubing. I entered the dark through a thin door, and was presented with a

After the first televised presidential debate, held between John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon 52 years ago, campaigns have been acutely aware that voters may judge candidates in such encounters as much by their appearance and gestures as by their words.
Peggy Hackney, an analyst working with the New York University Movement Lab, has examined the body language exhibited by President Obama and Mitt Romney in a number of speeches and debates. Here is a look at some of the signature gestures that they use.Inauguration Weather: The Case of Kennedy
By Jason Samenow

Inauguration planners should pray there's no repeat of what transpired January 19, 1961 -- the eve of John F. Kennedy's inauguration. An unanticipated dumping of snow resulted in chaos in the metro area. As the National Weather Service describes:
8 inches of snow fell and caused the most crippling traffic jam (for its time). Hundreds of cars were marooned and thousands of cars were abandoned. The president-elect had to cancel dinner plans and, in a struggle to keep other commitments, is reported to have had

Service.
As the weather map above shows (left panel), on January 19, low pressure developing in Tennessee Valley interacted with a large Arctic air mass over the Eastern third of the country. Note the big area of high pressure over Canada -- providing the cold air supply critical for snow. As the low headed eastward, snow began to fall in the middle of the afternoon. At the same time, temperatures quickly dropped below freezing. The temperature dropped from 34 to 28 degrees between 3 and 4 p.m. at National Airport as the snow picked up.
According to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the snow became so heavy that afternoon that federal workers were released from work early:
[Federal workers] mixed with scores of inaugural visitors, and a monumental traffic jamof clearing not only the freshly fallen snow but also the abandoned cars. An U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Web site summarizes the successful effort to make the inaugural parade route passable:
The Engineers teamed up with more than 1,000 District of Columbia employees to clear the inaugural parade route. Luckily much equipment and some men had been pre-positioned and were ready to go. In the end the task force employed hundreds of dump trucks, front-end loaders, sanders, plows, rotaries, and flamethrowers to clear the way. District and Army equipment worked side by side to move more than 1,400 cars from the inaugural route. Another contingent of troops cleared the reviewing stands and bleachers at the White House and U.S. Capitol. Some 1,700 Boy Scouts joined in similar efforts
