The pull yanked him backwards off the stool suddenly; he almost fell but righted himself, leaned away from the pull to fight it a moment longer, caught hold of the counter. No one but Chani was looking at his struggles.
"Next year," he promised her.
"Next year," she smiled.

Kemp was shot and killed July 20 in what the State Patrol has characterized as an exchange between Kemp and a trooper in the doorway of a home at 103 Glade Park Road, Unit B. Witnesses have said troopers who were investigating an accident involving Kemp approached the house after Kemp and others entered it and began pounding on and kicking at the door. One witness, 30-year-old Ian Olson, told The Daily Sentinel an unarmed Kemp was struck with a fluid, suspected to be pepper spray, then shot.
The trooper who shot Kemp remains on paid administrative leave, along with two other troopers, pending the outcome of criminal and internal investigations.
Authorities have said little about the incident.

for themselves, and Sunflower Laboratories, Inc., as trustee for the use and benefit of the insurance companies, instituted this suit against Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railway Company for damages. The claim pleaded was that through negligence of the railway company fire escaping from one of its engines set fire to dry grass and other combustible materials which had accumulated and remained on the right-of-way; that the fire spread and was communicated to the premises of plaintiffs; that the building and its contents were destroyed; that the trees, shrubbery, and landscaping of the premises were damaged; and that certain expenses were incurred in removing debris and salvage from the premises and in repairing the foundation in order to begin construction of another building. By answer, the railway company admitted that the buildingburning engine. Sand used to clean the flues of an oil burning engine sometimes comes out of the stack and the fire box in the form of red hot carbon, soot, and black sand; and sometimes it comes out in balls about the size of the end of one's thumb, and they disintegrate and break up when touched or kicked. The fire sometimes comes up near the cab. Engines often operated in that manner when passing along the track opposite the warehouse and other property involved in this action, and the engine of the freight train which passed on the morning of the fire shot out some fire. There was high, dry grass along the right-of-way, some of which was within a foot of the end of the

ties. No fire was burning in the vicinity prior to the time the trains passed. Immediately after the freight train passed, the grass on the right-of-way four or five feet west of the track was burning. The fire was about the distance of four or five city blocks south of the warehouse. A wind was blowing from the south. The fire spread quickly to a pasture adjoining the right-of-way on the west, and then went north toward the warehouse. The evidence and the inferences fairly to be drawn from it presented an issue of fact for the jury as to whether the fire was set out by the passing locomotive. Midland Valley Railroad Co. v. Barton, 191 Okl. 359, 129 P.2d 1007.
The next contention is that the courterred in submitting the case to the jury for the reason that the evidence was insufficient to show that the fire which destroyed the property of plaintiffs was the same fire or a continuation thereof which originated on the right-of-way. The fire was discovered on the right-of-way about eight o'clock in the morning, immediately after the passing of the freight train. A section foreman and three members of his crew went to the scene and undertook to extinguish the fire. An employee of the owner of the pasture in which the grass was burning arrived and joined in the effort. Believing that they had extinguished the fire, the men left the scene about ten-thirty o'clock. About noon the fire was burning again. It started immediately on the line

A gunman claiming allegiance to Islamic State militants shot and seriously wounded a Philadelphia police officer, saying he ambushed his patrol car "in the name of Islam," the city's police commissioner said on Friday.
Edward Archer of Philadelphia approached Officer Jesse Hartnett, 33, shortly before midnight and fired 11 rounds, three of which hit the officer in his arm, authorities said.
Police released still images from surveillance video that showed the gunman dressed in a long white robe walking toward the car and firing, eventually getting close enough to shoot at point-blank range through the window.
Hartnett chased Archer, who was arrested by responding officers and later confessed to the attack, police officials told reporters.
"He has confessed to committing this cowardly act in the name of Islam," Ross told a pressconference, adding that the 30-year-old assailant also referenced Islamic State militants.
Philadelphia Police Captain James Clark added, "He said he pledges his allegiance to Islamic State, he follows Allah and that was the reason he was called on to do this." Separately, a report in the Wall Street Journal cited an unnamed official who told the publication that the suspect had recently traveled to Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
A top U.S. Muslim advocacy group said it had found no evidence that Archer was an observant Muslim.
FBI Special Agent Eric Ruona said Archer had traveled to Saudi Arabia in 2011 and Egypt in 2012 and those trips were under investigation. There was no indication that Archer had acted with anybody else, he said.

In November, gunman and suicide bombers affiliated with Islamic State killed 130 people in a series of attacks in Paris. Last month a married couple fatally shot 14 people in San Bernardino, California, in an attack inspired by Islamic State.This video, captured by a member of the public, shows the start of the fire.
A public firework display appears to have caused a large scrub fire in Palmerston North.
The city's annual fireworks display was on Tuesday night, with fireworks let off from Anzac Park above the Manawatū River.
The 15-minute show was visible across the city and the river was lined with people watching.
But as the fireworks started, a scrub fire broke out on the bank below the Anzac Park carpark, opposite the Manawatū Golf Club. An orange glow was visible at the top of the hill during the display.

Thalassemia
Thalassemia, group of blood disorders characterized by a deficiency of hemoglobin, the blood protein that transports oxygen to the tissues. Thalassemia (Greek: “sea blood”) is so called because it was first discovered among peoples around the Mediterranean Sea, among whom its incidence is high. Thalassemia genes are widely distributed in the world but are found most often among people with ancestors from the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and southern Asia. Thalassemia has also been found in some northern Europeans and Native Americans. Among persons of African descent the disease is unusually mild. It is thought that the potentially lethal thalassemia gene is retained in certain populations because it provides some protection from malaria in the heterozygous state.

Before 2013, Khris Davis was relatively unknown among casual Brewers’ fans, as he was never among the organization’s top prospects, despite putting up tremendous numbers in the minor leagues.
But after a powerful spring training in 2013, Davis made the Opening Day roster for the first time in his young career. However, because he was backing up MVP left fielder Ryan Braun, playing time was scarce, and Davis was unable to find a groove. He was sent down to the minors after just a month in the bigs.
Davis was called back up in July, and this time, he made sure to stick around. With Braun suspended for 65-games for performance-enhancing drug use, Davis showed he had more than enough talent to be an everyday

Ibrahimovic's penalty was his 17th goal of the season
Ligue 1 leaders Lyon missed the chance to go four points clear as they were held to a draw by Paris St-Germain.
Cameroon striker Clinton Njie gave Lyon the lead on the half-volley after a neat one-two around the penalty area with strike partner Nabil Fekir.
PSG's pressure in the second-half eventually told when Zlatan Ibrahimovic equalised from the penalty spot.
His initial effort was saved by Anthony Lopes but the referee ordered a retake after spotting an infringement.
Lyon came in to the game unbeaten in eight, which included seven wins. Third-placed PSG knew a fourth consecutive win would put them top.
Both sides had chances to score before Njie's opener. Lyon midfielder Corontin Tolisso hit the

A major industrial problem involves the development of efficient methods for reducing the concentration of air pollutants, such as carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides in waste gas streams which result from the processing and combustion of sulfur, carbon and nitrogen containing fuels. The discharge of these waste gas streams into the atmosphere is environmentally undesirable at the sulfur oxide, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide concentrations that are frequently encountered in conventional operations. The regeneration of cracking catalyst, which has been deactivated by coke deposits in the catalytic cracking of sulfur and nitrogen containing hydrocarbon feedstocks, is a typical example of a process which can result in a waste gas stream containing relatively high levels of carbon monoxide, sulfur and nitrogen oxides.
Catalytic cracking of heavy petroleum fractionsis accomplished by burning the coke deposits from the catalyst surfaces with an oxygen containing gas such as air. The combustion of these coke deposits can be regarded, in a simplified manner, as the oxidation of carbon and the products are carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
When sulfur and nitrogen containing feedstocks are utilized in catalytic cracking process, the coke deposited on the catalyst contains sulfur and nitrogen. During regeneration of coked deactivated catalyst, the coke is burned from the catalyst surface that then results in the conversion of sulfur to sulfur oxides and nitrogen to nitrogen oxides.
The conditions experienced by the catalyst in a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit are very severe. Catalyst is continuously being cycled between reductive atmosphere on the reactor side to an oxidative atmosphere

The acidic oxide support should be of sufficient acidity for the composition to act as an effective NOx reduction additive. Acidic oxide catalyst supports are well know to those of ordinary skill in the art and include, for example, transitional aluminas such as gamma and eta alumina, silica-stabilized versions of said aluminas, including the silica-stabilized alumina spinel formed by leaching silica from kaolin calcined through its characteristic exotherm to form the spinel, or mullite. The support may be crystalline or amorphous. Preferably, the acidic oxide support contains at least some alumina. More preferably, the oxide support contains at least 50 wt. % alumina.

Since the latter part of 1948 International has been engaged in the business of rebuilding automobile and truck engines, or motors, and selling them at wholesale to various stores, some of which were and are owned by the taxpayer, located in Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana.
An automobile or truck engine is a single functioning unit, and both new and rebuilt engines are available to the consumer and are regularly sold as a single article for installation as a replacement in a motor vehicle. The largest and most costly component

in some model engines the connecting rods, every major component of its rebuilt engines is either a newly-manufactured part purchased by it or is a salvaged part that it has machined in order to make it usable.
After the rebuilt engines produced by it have left its assembly department, they are test run on an installation known as a dynamometer to determine if their performance is satisfactory. Thereafter, the engine is painted, its production number is stamped into the metal of the block, and a decalcomania reading 'international Built' is affixed.
About 75 percent of International's total production of rebuilt engines during the period involved was sold to retail outlets owned by the taxpayer, and the remainder was sold to other retailers, including occasional sales to Sears, Roebuck andCompany which sells rebuilt engines under its own name. It gives a written warranty with the sale of its product that is more generous in terms than the warranty given with the sale of a newly-manufactured engine. Both by word of mouth salesmanship and by written advertisement its rebuilt engines are described to the public as giving 'brand new performance' and written advertisements describe the product in such terms as 'factory rebuilt', 'precision rebuilt' and 'remanufactured motors'.
The old engines used by it as a source of salvageable parts are malfunctioning and not serviceable. Except as to size of certain components, the rebuilt engines produced by it meet the factory specifications of the original manufacturer. The rebuilt engines produced by it are not the same

The ominous glow of a Wilmington, Mass. grocery store, Market Basket, which some shoppers say is haunted. (Photo: Yelp)
Typically, the scariest thing you’ll encounter at a grocery store is long lines at the checkout or an expired coupon. For shoppers in Wilmington, Mass. it’s an apparition that appears to be a young woman in Victorian clothing.
A members-only page on Facebook, dedicated to local events and possible coyote sightings in the area, has the community buzzing after several people reported seeing a young woman, between the age of 17 and 30, with light skin, dark hair, and blue eyes in out-of-fashion clothes wandering the aisles of Market Basket on Main Street. One shopper, according to Patch.com, is familiar with her — as she used to visit her home whenRural New South Wales women's access to abortion services: highlights from an exploratory qualitative study.
The aim of the study was to identify factors that New South Wales (NSW) rural women experience in relation to their ability to access an abortion service and follow-up care. The qualitative responses from interviews are reported. Rural and regional NSW. Staff from community based non-government Women's Health Centres across regional/rural NSW and women in rural NSW who had accessed an abortion in the preceding fifteen years. A number of barriers that NSW rural women experience in relation to their ability to access an abortion and follow-up care were identified. The main barrier rural women experienced was travelling relatively long distances to access an abortion clinic because of lack of services in their local

Expression of the SOFaRP2 gene in the central nervous system of the adult cuttlefish Sepia officinalis.
FMRFamide-related Peptides (FaRPs) are involved in a variety of physiological processes, including reproduction, feeding, development, body patterning and osmoregulation in vertebrates and invertebrates. Here we investigate the expression pattern of cuttlefish Sepia officinalis FaRP2 gene in the brain by in situ hybridization. The SOFaRP2 gene was found to be expressed most intensively in the posterior chromatophore lobe, vasomotor lobe and subvertical lobe. In addition, positive staining was also found in the fin lobe, brachial lobe, anterior chromatophore lobe, anterior, dorsal and lateral basal lobes, inferior and superior frontal lobes, and optic lobe. The expression pattern of SOFaRP2 suggests its involvement in chromatophore regulation, feeding behavior, and learning and memory.and the tonnage of the lading they carry. In FIG. 1A, the locomotives are shown connected together at the head of the train. In FIG. 1B, the locomotives are shown positioned at intervals along the length of the train. These are the two most common configurations. Regardless of the arrangement of locomotives, it is important that the combined tractive effort from all the locomotives be sufficient to move the train over a desired route despite the conditions encountered during transit.
One condition periodically effecting train operation is its passage through a confined area such as a tunnel. Tunnels vary in length from relatively short to more than two miles in length. On some routes tunnels are few and far apart. On other routes, there are many tunnels and they

Israeli police prevented over a dozen journalists covering the developments around Temple Mount from approaching parts of Jerusalem’s Old City during the weekend and on Sunday.
Those without journalist credentials were free to approach the area off limits to members of the press, which extended from the beginning of Derech Sha'ar Haarayot to the Lions Gate and included the square surrounding it as well as access to the adjacent Temple Mount compound. Dozens of Muslim worshippers were spreading prayer rugs on the ground outside of Temple Mount on Sunday morning and tourists also moved around freely.
During the temporary ban, police officers used violence to eject Haaretz journalists from the site. The police said they are looking into the matter.
Journalists were not allowed to film the new metal gate andsecurity cameras that police erected between the Lions Gate and the Mount.

Policemen in the area made it explicitly clear that their orders were only to prevent journalists from entering, and that any moves to cover the situation around the Temple Mount was forbidden. The journalists were restricted to a pedestrian mall a few hundred meters from the Old City, from which it was impossible to see the new gate, the metal detectors, the worshippers or the entrance to the Mount itself. Two checkpoints manned by police officers stood between the journalists and entry to the Old City.
Police violently kicked out a Haaretz reporter and

But the earth and the seas are so polluted now from man made chemicals and oil spills, the animals just don't stand a chance! But this was to be expected, as God has already warned us through Bible prophecy that this world is heading for complete ruin. Friends, it's time to turn to Jesus Christ. He is our ONLY hope for the future.

If you are willing and able, please consider supporting our ministryMedicare-the development of publicly financed health insurance: Medicare's impact on the nation's health care system.
It is useful for health care managers to understand Medicare's history and the impact on providers of ever-changing Medicare payment methods. Initially, Medicare payments resembled those of commercial insurance plans and Blue Cross Blue Shield plans. When Congress became concerned about the increasing costs of Medicare, new payment methods were created to limit payments to providers. The prospective payment system, imposed on hospitals in 1987 and later on nursing homes, home health agencies, and other services, has been adapted by commercial plans, Blue Cross Blue Shield associations, and state Medicaid programs. Changes in payer reimbursements require health care managers to adjust the department's charge master and exert more control of departmental costs. The story

April 1. The court appointed two doctors to examine him and report to the court, and the public defender was appointed to represent him.
At the April 1 hearing, the court found that he was a narcotics addict and ordered him committed to the custody of the Department of Corrections for treatment in the narcotics addict rehabilitation program.[2] Petitioner then demanded a jury trial, which was set for April 27, 1964. At the trial, petitioner, represented by retained counsel, waived a jury, and trial before the court resulted in a finding that he was a narcotics addict. The court ordered him committed in accordance with the commitment order made on April 1.
Petitioner's petition for habeas corpus raises three interrelated issues concerning the constitutionality of his conviction in municipal courtboy. Included in the order were provisions forbidding defendant to remove the youngest child from the state in which *1308 plaintiff might be living at any given time, and directing him to pay to plaintiff $25 weekly for child support.
In open defiance of the court's order, defendant not only failed to make any child support payments, he removed the youngest child from Vermont where plaintiff continued her residence, and as far as she could discover he vanished totally with all three children from New York, where he had moved and obtained employment after the divorce. The court found that for a period of five months, from April 19, 1979, until September 19, 1979, plaintiff did not know where her children were or the defendant was located. Thus she

man in his late teens, some fourteen years her junior, with whom she had carried on a similar liaison prior to the divorce. This relationship, she claimed during the original proceedings, had terminated and would not be resumed. Finally, the plaintiff admitted she had smoked marijuana on occasion. However, the evidence is vague at best as to the point in time when she had indulged in this illegal pastime, and she had never done so in the presence of her children.
The findings and conclusions are fully supported by evidence of the defendant's misconduct, his present situation, and the plaintiff's conduct. That being so, and the facts are not seriously disputed by either party, defendant's quarrel, as is so often the case, is not with the facts, but withsunroof, the rear end of the shade provided below the sliding panel is of such an arrangement that during tilt up, the shade is raised with the sliding panel opening so as to open the rear portion of a roof panel.

He thought he could change her for the better, buthas no sons. Thus the name of the heiress is joined to that of her armigerous husband in order to preserve her family name and arms, and those arms are quartered (second and third) with her husband’s (first and fourth) by their descendants.
Scottish noble titles can descend through a woman where there is no heir male. Thus, the present duke of Roxburghe’s family name is Innes-Ker, reflecting his inheritance of the title through the female (Ker) line. Because of this, although heir to the chiefship of clan Innes, the duke is not recognised by the Lord Lyon as its chief, since clan chiefs must bear the plain name of their clan, and its arms undifferenced and unquartered.
Quadruple names are possible under this system, though rare, and usually shortened

by their bearers. Hugh Trevor-Roper, an inveterate snob, was reportedly galled by a Scotsman who persisted in addressing him as ‘Roper’. Finally he could no longer contain his irritation and corrected his interlocutor. The Scot responded that he had four surnames himself – reeling them off – but ordinarily used only one of them.
Double-barrelled names in Britain identify their holders as toffs, or would-be toffs, and not as the children of ‘liberated’ women. It is similar to the way in which shooting (‘hunting’ in the US) is regarded as an aristocratic sport in Britain, but as a pastime of bumpkins and rustics in the United States. We are, indeed, two peoples divided by a common language.

opponent he's faced in his career and withstood that pressure with ease. While Cayo was elusive at times, his defense needed improvement and his low hands left him susceptible to Maidana's vicious power.
For his part, Maidana showed the straight-ahead, sledgehammer style people saw against Victor Ortiz. After a water-testing first round feeling Cayo out, Maidana scored a knockdown just at the bell in round two which referee Joe Cortez counted as fair. The rest of the fight progressed with Maidana waiting out Cayo's punches and responding with sharp counters, landing the harder, more effective blows. Cayo was able to hold his own and showed significant heart.
"He was very tough, he had movement... my corner told me to slow down," said Maidana, of his opponent, but in the endit was a quick series of body blows, ten total in round six, that finally sped Maidana to victory, with a staggering ultimate body blow that put Cayo to the mat for good.
What's next for Maidana seems up in the air. The junior welterweight division is stacked with talent with a summer schedule loaded with match-ups. When asked who he wants next, Maidana told Max Kellermen "whoever at 140 comes out..."
In the opening bout, what started with a mood-dampening weigh-in on Friday when Joan Guzman came in almost ten pounds too heavy, eliminating his chance to take home a belt in a division lacking in obvious talent.

Anyway. The movie was fun, it was what it was, and it was slightly less insulting than most "rescue the beautiful, helpless woman who didn't know you were a secret agent but will love you anyway despite your lies leading to her being kidnapped and nearly killed" plots. (Sad, how low your standards drop and how little agency the beautiful, helpless woman has to have for you to feel like the movie is better than average.)
I also watched the episode of Friends ("The One Where Monica and Richard Are Just Friends") in which (spoilers!) Joey keeps his favorite book, The Shining, in the freezer, because the book scares him. (Itscares him less if it's trapped in the freezer.) Rachel finds the book in the freezer, which leads to a conversation, and the conversation leads to a deal: Rachel will read The Shining if Joey will read Rachel's favorite book, Little Women. The two spend the episode reading each other's favorite books.
At the end of the episode, Joey comes into Rachel's apartment, nearly in tears, because Beth is sick and not getting better. And so Rachel and Joey put Little Women in the freezer so that Joey will feel less scared.
Joey always was my favorite of the six friends.
And! I watched more Angel Season 5. There's a LOT of good stuff in Season 5. Even some of the things I was meh about in previous seasons improve in

The owner and chief executive officer of an armored vehicle company was sentenced today to 70 months in prison for his role in orchestrating a scheme to defraud the United States by providing the U.S. Department of Defense with armored gun trucks that did not meet ballistic and blast protection requirements set out in the company’s contracts with the United States.
Acting Assistant Attorney General John P. Cronan of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, U.S. Attorney Rick A. Mountcastle of the Western District of Virginia, Special Agent in Charge Adam S. Lee of the FBI’s Richmond, Virginia, Field Office and Special Agent in Charge Robert E.

and CEO of Armet Armored Vehicles of Danville, Virginia, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Jackson L. Kiser of the Western District of Virginia, who also ordered Whyte to serve three years of supervised release following his prison sentence and to pay restitution in the amount of $2,019,454.36.
On Oct. 9, 2017, after a two-week trial, Whyte was found guilty of three counts of major fraud against the United States, three counts of wire fraud and three counts of criminal false claims. Whyte was charged by an indictment in July 2012.
Evidence at trial demonstrated that Whyte executed a scheme to defraud the United States by providing armored gun trucks that were deliberately under-armored. Armet contracted to provide armored gun trucks for use by the United States and its alliesand arrest [those accused] is of major importance, as the Iraqi people have been demanding reforms and the fight against corruption. Under this pressure, the Iraqi government has started to take serious steps” and has even hired foreign companies to help track funds and facilitate extradition. “The upcoming period will witness major changes in corruption investigations,” he said.
He added, “The arrest of Sudani and Qattan will open the door to further arrests of the people who misused and smuggled public funds to neighboring countries. Some of the accused are traders and businessmen who made illicit deals in the name of influential politicians or political parties. Iraq is known for the rampant corruption among politicians. The arrests will include all those who took part in or facilitated embezzlement of

for real property to lease. A conspiracy formed between Wesley Aaron Struble, 49, a United States citizen living in Batangas, Phillipines, and Joes Rivera, 60, of Potomac, Maryland, both of whom were working as government contractors in Iraq.
Struble and Rivera approached an Iraqi company and its associates and agreed to accept kickbacks in exchange for help in causing the U.S. State Department contractor to lease property that the Iraqi company controlled.
Emil Popescu was late recruited to the conspiracy and asked to open a bank account in Baghdad, Iraq. After a lease was signed between the U.S. State Department contractor and the Iraqi company, Popescu withdrew cash from the bank account and made kickback payments directly to Struble and Rivera. Popescu also facilitated other kickback payments by withdrawing moneythe A380 superjumbo has been in doubt since a vital order from Emirates foundered over inconclusive engine talks, forcing the two sides to weigh an alternative that would trigger a premature halt to A380 production.
Emirates is by the largest customer for the 544-seat aircraft and analysts say production is unsustainable beyond 2020 without the new Emirates order.
Under the proposed reshuffle, first reported by Reuters, Airbus hopes to broker a deal that would see Emirates switch part of its order to smaller models like the A350 or A330, while eking out a few last-minute A380 orders from British Airways.

of Mesquite was, prior to December 2, 1958 and is now, a municipal corporation operating under a home rule charter but was a town of less than five thousand inhabitants according to the last preceding Federal Census of 1950; that the City of Dallas is now and was according to the said preceding Federal Census a city of more than two hundred thousand inhabitants; and that on December 2, 1958 the City Council of Mesquite passed an ordinance zoning parts of the property of Dr. Franklin for cemetery uses and purposes. Further stipulated and set forth were the corporate powers of the City of Mesquite under its home rule charter, adopted August 22, 1953, and the purposes of its comprehensive zoning ordinance. The respective homes and residences ofplaintiffs A. L. and Robert Pietzsch are located on the Murphy School-New Hope Road in the City of Mesquite and directly across such road from defendant Franklin's property. The real property owned by other individual plaintiffs adjoin the Franklin property on its south side.
On December 3, 1958 this suit was filed along with issuance of temporary restraining order. A development plan of the proposed Memorial Park cemetery was introduced in evidence, showing the location and future use to be made of the property; which plan had been approved by the City Plan Commission and City Council of Mesquite, indicating a buffer zone of churches and residences between the proposed cemetery layout and adjoining property. The testimony shows without dispute the existence of an old cemetery within the City;

the statute clearly recognizes the right and need of a city or its citizens to establish and locate cemeteries within its boundaries until its population reaches five thousand inhabitants according to the last preceding federal census by specifically excluding its application to such towns. We therefore respectfully submit the only reasonable and sensible construction of Article 912a-24 and 912a-25 to accomplish the legislative intent and purpose is that the location of a cemetery within the specified distance of the cities named is not prohibited where such cemetery is located within a town of less than 5,000 inhabitants according to the last preceding federal census."
Appellant City of Mesquite likewise construes Article 912a-24 as expressly excluding certain areas, and quotes from Faulk's appeal as follows:
"It fairly appears from the lawfive thousand inhabitants at the last preceding Federal Census, if adjacent to cities of over five thousand population at the last such census, to become burial grounds for large population areas.
The wording of Article 912a-24 is unambiguous, giving room for but one construction. "In such a case, the law will be applied and enforced as it reads, regardless of its policy or purpose, or the justice of its effect." 39 Tex.Jur. pp. 161, 162.
While the restrictions of Art. 912a-24 on location of cemeteries begins with cities of over 5,000 population at last Federal Census of 1950, yet the town of Mesquite, of less population on said date, was still subject to further prohibition of the statute as being within five miles of the Dallas City limits.

tendinous with a flap tear and impingement. Dr. Mays found her history and complaints credible, and he concluded that it was more likely than not that she suffered an aggravation of a preexisting condition. He opined that this would require more extensive surgery to repair.
Dr. Barton testified that he too found the claimant's history reliable and consistent with the injury he diagnosed. Based upon his exam and the patient's history, he believed that she suffered an aggravation of her longstanding shoulder condition. He agreed that she required surgery. Both doctors testified that since one MRI was with contrast and the other without, they could not compare them and determine if they showed the same tear.
In her deposition, Ms. Mayence testified that she was in the x-ray holding roomwhen the claimant entered crying. Her arm was hanging by her side and she appeared to be in great pain. After dealing with the patient the claimant had been *1042 scanning, Ms. Mayence accompanied the claimant to the ER.
The claimant also introduced the deposition of Joanne Cannatella, who worked for the third-party administrator of the employer's workers compensation program. She testified that she felt the claimant's injury was not compensable because she had previously had this condition and the surgery recommended was the same one she already had scheduled.
Thomas Postles, the clinical supervisor at the radiology department, testified for the employer. He recounted the claimant's work history and her failure to pass her exam to become a registered ultrasound technician. However, he admitted that being registered was not

to obtain optimal images for the ultrasound machine, the WCJ concluded that her current shoulder condition was work related. He also found that she was unable to perform her old job due to the injury. As a result, she was awarded temporary total disability (TTD) benefits of $454 per week retroactive to the date of injury. Also finding that the claimant's preexisting shoulder condition was exacerbated by the work injury, the WCJ approved the surgery recommended by Dr. Mays and Dr. Barton.
The WCJ also found that the employer was arbitrary and capricious in failing to start wage benefits and failing to approve the recommended surgery. He noted that the employer "turned a blind eye" to the medical reports indicating an injury or an aggravation. Penalties of $8,000 weremanifestly erroneous.
Our review of the evidence demonstrates that while the claimant had a preexisting condition for which she required surgery, she was still able to work before August 7, 2006. The claimantwhom the WCJ specifically found to be credibletestified without contradiction that while performing her work as a sonographer, she suddenly experienced great pain and was unable to move her arm. Her testimony was corroborated by that of Ms. Mayence, the nurse to whom she immediately reported her distress. After this occurrence, the claimant's condition was worsened to the point that she was no longer able to perform her job. Both of the doctors agreed that she sustained an aggravation to her preexisting condition.

Today we have to say goodbye to cult-hero and veteran actor Leonard Nimoy. The legend was once described by the creator of Star Trek as "the conscience of the Enterprise".

Nimoy's final Tweet serves as a touching final sentiment of the trademark blend of logic and human emotion that characterized Spock's personality.or lands on the outer surfaces of the PCB. In both kinds of construction, component leads are electrically and mechanically fixed to the PCB with molten metal solder.
Through-hole technology, also spelled “thru-hole”, refers to the mounting scheme used for pin-through-hole electronic components that involves the use of pins on the components that are inserted into copper PTH drilled in printed circuit boards (PCB) and soldered to pads on the opposite side. From the second generation of computers in the 1950s until surface-mount technology became popular in the late 1980s, every component on a typical PCB was a through-hole component. While through-hole mounting provides strong electrical and mechanical bonds when compared to surface-mount technology techniques, the additional drilling required makes the boards more expensive to produce.

the nutrient surplus, they calculated nutrient budgets, subtracting nutrient outputs from nutrient inputs. The following parameters were included in the calculation \[[@pone.0216053.ref015]\]: organic fertiliser (from livestock) and mineral fertiliser with corresponding losses, compost, biological fixation, atmospheric nitrogen deposition, yield, digestate from biogas plants and sewage sludge. Bicking et al. \[[@pone.0216053.ref015]\] performed the calculation on two different spatial scales. For the whole area of Schleswig-Holstein (regional scale), the ES demand was calculated on the level of municipalities and in the area of the Bornhöved Lakes District (local scale), the ES demand was calculated for the corresponding CORINE LULC polygons.
The ES budget assessment, aiming to provide information on sustainable or unsustainable conditions, was included as a very rough estimation in order to give an idea of areas of nutrient regulationwith regard to the probability distributions of the environmental conditions such as slope and soil texture corresponded to the background information of the study areas. For instance, the area of the Geest was characterized by poor, sandy soils (see study area for more information) which are susceptible to wind erosion and nitrate leaching. These soils have relatively low field capacities and natural nutrient availability rates. These circumstances led to the obtained outcomes.
Considering the nutrient regulation ES budget, the results highlighted this regional issue. The Geest obtained high probabilities for an unsustainable nutrient regulation ES budget, as the area is featured by a low potential ES supply and a relatively high ES demand. The Hügelland obtained highest probabilities for a balanced ES budget as the area is featured by

ES potential in the Bornhöved Lakes District resembles the distribution for Schleswig-Holstein.**
In general, the two BBNs delivered similar probability distributions. The greatest difference existed between the nutrient regulation ES demand. The Bornhöved Lakes District was characterized by higher demands compared to Schleswig-Holstein. This was reflected in the probability distribution of the nutrient regulation ES budget which identified higher probabilities for an unsustainable ES budget in the Bornhöved Lakes District. Similar to the BBN for Schleswig-Holstein, the BBN for the Bornhöved Lakes District also identified the Geest as an area with high probabilities for relatively low nutrient regulation ES potentials and relatively high nutrient regulation ES demand. However, minor differences became apparent with regard to the magnitude of the mismatch. The mismatch at the scale of the Bornhöved LakesOver the last few years, the perception around Steam has changed somewhat. Valve's storefront has gone from being the biggest name in PC gaming to having a more problematic relationship with both the development community and players.
Creators have found that due to the sheer number of releases coming to the platform - especially following Steam Direct's 2017 rollout - it's far harder to actually be seen and go on to have success on the storefront. At the end of 2018, as criticism against Steam grew and grew, Fortnite maker Epic Games launched its own store, offering a more competitive revenue share - 88:12 versus Steam's 70:30 - with many seeing this as some real competition to Valve finally emerging.

Santa Clara County voters last year overwhelmingly approved a half-cent sales tax to invest more than $6 billion in transportation infrastructure. Measure B, a 30-year tax that began raking in revenue for the Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) this year, promised to bring BART to downtown San Jose, upgrade Caltrain and highways, and bolster the region’s network of bicycle and pedestrian paths. Though the measure won more support than any transit tax in county history, one woman is on a mission to stop it. Litigation filed earlier this year by Cheriel Jensen, a retired urban planner from Saratoga who once sued Santa Clara County over its mosquito fogging, is holding Measure B hostage—all $40 million collected to date.

We proceeded inside, received our wristbands, and it was first come, first serve seating with the exception of the reserved seating for Punk's friends/family/media in the middle of the venue. Concessions were being sold just as it was a regular show night, as well.
The curtains opened as they played some WWE

video packages as you would see at live shows, with trivia about Punk in between the packages. Pretty cool stuff as the crowd would roar when they showed the correct answer. Fans continued to file in as 7 PM approached, along with many of Punk's family and friends. I sat to the right of the stage, only a few rows back from the front. They had WWE banners draped across the stage, as well. The festivities began with Marty DeRosa, a comedian, and friend of Punk, coming down the aisle and onto the stage to warm up the crowd, to only then introduce Lita! Lita came down to a big ovation, spoke for a moment, then introduced Cliff Compton (Domino of WWE fame). Compton climbed onto one ofthe chairs and posed with the crowd, and was really excited to be apart of this big night. Compton then introduced Colt Cabana, who requested the loudest Colt Cabana chant ever as he walked to the stage. Cabana delivered some kind words and thanked everyone for coming out, and then introduced his best friend, the man of the hour, CM Punk.
Punk was followed by a WWE camera crew as they seem to document him for a majority of the night. Punk got on stage and admitted he forgot most of his intro but it was pretty surreal for him to be in this situation watching his own story inside a movie theater filled with fans and people who are close to him. Without further ado, they all embraced

and exited the stage to allow the movie to begin, but low and behold, a clip of HHH's "Inside Out" was shown on the screen as the crowd booed, and Punk ran back up and screamed "Wrong clip, wrong clip!" Pretty funny moment. Punk said last July he promised everyone 2 things, "ice cream bars...and CM Punk: The Movie, so here's CM Punk: The Movie." Punk once again exited the stage, and the actual movie began to play. Punk sat down a few rows back in the middle/reserved section. Punk sat down next to Lita, Cabana, Compton, and DeRosa. Also, sitting a row in front of in the Punk in the "reserved" section was Frank the WWE Clown, Punk's sisters and brother, Punk's mom, Natalie Slater (Bake andDestroy), Jill Thompson, Armando Estrada, and other friends/family of the WWE Champion. It was a who's who of Chicago and the wrestling scene.
I won't divulge into much details of the movie itself, but it is hands down one of the best DVD's, if not THE best WWE produced DVD. Punk and his section of friends were laughing, and making jokes amongst themselves the entire duration of the show. The atmosphere was unlike anything I've ever been a part of before. The fans would roar at any appearance on screen (except John Cena who was unanimously booed), and they gave a standing ovation after the film was over, which Punk seemed to be genuinely moved by. Punk walked back up to the stage, and announced he had bought over

It seemed that the Money in the Bank match with Cena was actually a culmination of his entire career though, and it makes me wonder what else he's in it for. If he's not in the title picture, will he stay?
I have vague recollections of reading/hearing about an interview with him where he mentioned being in the Main Event at Wrestlemania being on his "bucket list". I'm pretty sure I saw it in this forum somewhere... but yeah, he says in the documentary he's a goal-orientated person, so I'd guess that's one of his goals. With the way the other floating heads were talking at the end about him becoming a "big brother" figure backstage now, maybe the challenge of guiding some of the younger guys through thehe presented a collaboration with Fila, making the nostalgia retro sporty walk hand in hand with the love for logos.

Cleveland calmly awaits decisions in 3 killings by police
CLEVELAND – For Cleveland's maligned police department, the barrage began with a car chase that ended when officers fired 137 rounds and killed two unarmed black people.
Then late last year, a white, rookie police officer shot and killed a 12-year-old black boy carrying a pellet gun in a park. Around the same time, a U.S. Justice Department report slammed the entire department, outlining a string of excessive force and civil rights violations.
Somehow, despite the repeated stains, Cleveland has been spared from violent protests that have erupted in places like Baltimore and Ferguson, Missouri.
Cleveland's politicians and community leaders are now working to make sure protests remain peaceful as the city awaits a verdict in the trial of a white officer inthe deaths of the two unarmed people and a decision on whether charges will be filed in the 12-year-old's death.
There's nothing at this point that indicates there's a cauldron of dissent in the predominantly black, largely poor city that's about to boil over into violence. Cleveland and the region's biggest concern at the moment appear to be a hoped-for march by the Cleveland Cavaliers to an NBA title.
"I think the mayor's been very clear. We're interested in making sure that those who want to protest for whatever reason do it in a responsible way," said Dan Williams, spokesman for Mayor Frank Jackson. "We've had demonstrators them for a long time and we've been fair in dealing with them."
Cleveland has worked hard to burnish its image as a decaying

at Cleveland State University.
Cleveland has had three black mayors, including Carl Stokes, who in 1967 became the first black mayor of a major U.S. city. Jackson is in his third term.
"We have a black mayor, a black police chief, we have several black council people," said Carol Steiner, who has organized protests of police in Cleveland. "It's different from Ferguson in that way."
It's important to distinguish, she said, between the organized protest movement that is almost entirely nonviolent and the types of uprisings brought on by years of oppression.
"To us the more interesting question is why haven't more people from the neighborhoods been united in large scale protests," said Steiner, who added that she doesn't know the answer.
Just four days after Rice was fatally shot in November, about200 protesters blocked evening rush hour traffic, but officers simply directed commuters around the protest instead of arresting the demonstrators.
Cleveland may also have benefited from an aggressive county prosecutor willing to charge and prosecute police officers.
The 137-shot incident in November 2012 drew attention because of its sheer excess. Thirteen officers fired at a car with two unarmed suspects after a 22-mile-long, high-speed chase involving more than 100 Cleveland police officers in more than 60 cars. Brelo fired 49 of those shots, but it's the last 15 that resulted in criminal charges. He fired those shots at point-blank range into the windshield of a car at Timothy Russell and Malissa Williams. Prosecutors contend Brelo, 31, intended to kill the pair even though their car had stopped and they were

no longer a threat to anyone.
The chase began after Russell's beat-up Chevy Malibu backfired as it sped past police headquarters, which caused officers to think someone in the car had fired a gun.
Cuyahoga County prosecutor Tim McGinty has not spared any expense in prosecuting Brelo, committing more than a half-dozen prosecutors and thousands of dollars on expert witnesses to testify in his effort to win a conviction.
Civil rights attorney James Hardiman said McGinty's willingness to prosecute has helped ease tensions in Cleveland.
"That obviously has played a role in appeasing some people," Hardiman said. "But depending on the ultimate verdict, that might not keep a lid on protests."
What will happen with the Tamir Rice case is uncertain. Outrage grew with the release of footage from a surveillance camera showedpatrolman Timothy Loehmann shooting the boy within two seconds of his patrol car skidding to a stop next to him. Tamir can be seen in the video reaching for the realistic-looking pellet gun he had tucked in his waistband.
The Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Office is wrapping up an investigation into the shooting it started in mid-January. Once complete, the sheriff will turn the case over prosecutors, who can charge Loehmann, present evidence to a grand jury or rule the shooting justified and not pursue criminal charges.

Bill Walton stopped to talk America's drug policies Wednesday night while on the call of Washington vs. Oregon.
Sparked by the recent dismissal of Washington star Robert Upshaw, a player who had failed drug tests earlier in his college career, Walton spoke about both the NCAA rules as well as the nation's laws. "There are people languishing in jails for things that are legal," Walton said, calling the War on Drugs "an absolute failure" and asking for President Obama to do something about it.
Walton -- a child of the 60's and 70's who religiously followed the Grateful Dead on tour, loves to wear tie dye, owns a tepee, and doesn't shower indoors -- is somewhat of a stereotypical hippie, but isn't exactly open to talk about his (hypothetical) drugShare this article:

Thousands of citations issued to motorists on the 110 as Metro preps for new toll lanes on the 10 Freeway
As flashing Metro signs began warning 10 Freeway drivers about high occupancy toll lanes slated to open early next year, more than 12,000 citations were issued to drivers riding illegally on the 110 Harbor Freeway carpool/pay lanes since the program began Nov. 10.
Citations issued to drivers in Los Angeles caught without the required equipment by pay-lane cameras add up to $18,358, Metro confirmed Wednesday. However, the sum includes only the tolls the drivers owe for driving in the lanes without a FasTrak transponder.
Commuters have until Dec. 10 before penalties are assessed for riding without the Metro-issued transponder in the hybrid carpool lanes, Metro officials said.
"This was absolutely anticipated," MetroClub of Southern California (AAA) and as of Monday, just 700 remained in the company's warehouse, according to spokeswoman Marie Montgomery.
AAA members receive a 20 percent discount, she said.
Transponders are also available for purchase at Costco, Albertson's and at walk-in centers at 500 W. 190th Street in Gardena, or at the El Monte bus station, 3501 Santa Anita Ave.
A customer service representative that works out of both locations said that although the 10 Freeway Express Lanes aren't open yet, he's seeing people buying transponders in El Monte to avoid long lines in Gardena.
Roughly 30 people inquire about obtaining new transponders every day, while the number of people actually making the purchase is about half that, said Lejerion Carr, as he worked at the El Monte station.

Several of the videos would not play in the browser as well, instead having to be downloaded and ran locally. With the YouTubes (or even HTML5) of the world this was ridiculous, and as a technology professional I found it almost personally offensive.

before the Board of Bar Examiners (Board), ORS
9.536(3) and 9.539, Rules for Admission of Attorneys (RFA)
9.60(5), and Bar Rule of Procedure (BR) 10.6, we conclude that
applicant has not proved that he possesses the requisite good
moral character and fitness to practice law in this state.
Accordingly, we deny applicant admission to the practice of law
in the State of Oregon.
Applicant was admitted to the practice of law in
California in 1984 and practiced in that state until 1994, at
which time he moved to Oregon. In October 1994, applicant
applied for admission to the Oregon State Bar. Applicant took
and passed the February 1995 Oregon State Bar examination.
However, following a character and fitness review proceeding, a
three-member panel of the Board recommended that applicant be
denied admission to the practice of law in In re Jaffee, 319 Or 172, 177, 874 P2d 1299 (1994);
In re Easton, 298 Or 365, 367-68, 692 P2d 592 (1984).
In its recommendation to this court, the Board
identified the following findings of the three-member panel that
the full Board believed demonstrated applicant's lack of good
moral character and fitness to practice law in Oregon:
"(A) He disobeyed a court order to pay child
support.
"(B) He was suspended for over a year in the State
of California for failure to pay child support.
"(C) He failed to inform the Board that he was
suspended from the practice of law in the State of
California and he lied to the Board about his
suspension in California, stating that he was not
suspended when he was in fact suspended.
"(D) He loaned money to a client, Tamara Varner
('Varner'), and collected on the loan

deny admission. In re Parker, 314 Or
143, 154-55, 838 P2d 54 (1992). Applicant was on notice of his
obligation to disclose relevant information to the Board, both
through the Rules for Admission of Attorneys and through the
application itself, on which applicant acknowledged, by signature
and under oath, his duty to disclose. Applicant's disclosure
fell short of the degree of disclosure that he acknowledged to be
required of him. Because it raises significant doubts about his
good moral character, applicant's failure to disclose his
suspension by the California State Bar constitutes a sufficient
ground for denial of his application to practice law in Oregon.
In re Monaco, 317 Or at 369-71; In re Parker, 314 Or at 154-55.
We turn to applicant's representation of Tamara Varner.
Applicant represented Varner in a variety of legalArms and Colt. The state is also home to other shooting industry associations including the National Shooting Sports Foundation, organizers of the annual SHOT Show. It is safe to say the state is rich in gun history.
However, Connecticut recently enacted new gun control measures. These new laws, like all gun laws, seek to abridge the rights of lawful gun owners. For this reason, some gun owners are encouraging gun companies to abandon the state for less-restrictive states like Texas or Montana. Such things are not easily accomplished, and certainly involve significant cost, assuming the company elects to take such action.
Some companies might dig their heels in and fight for gun rights where they are instead of retreating to another state to fight a new battle there. Other companies

Against an alarming background of violence inside and outside parliament, Silvio Berlusconi today scraped through confidence votes in both houses of the Italian parliament.
The survival of his rightwing government was greeted by widespread disturbances in Rome where hooded and helmeted protesters set up flaming barricades, attacked police with sticks and bars, smashed the windows of shops and banks, and set alight cars, police vans and local authority vehicles. Police responded with baton charges, teargas and, in some cases reported by witnesses, indiscriminate beatings.
Ninety people, including 50 police, were reported injured. According to police, there were 41 arrests.
Inside parliament politicians almost came to blows and had to be separated by ushers as uproar broke out after one deputy who had been expected to back the opposition switched her voteat the last minute. According to one contested account, Catia Polidori was called a "whore" by another politician, who was then attacked by a deputy loyal to the government.
Polidori and two other former rebels secured for the prime minister a 314-311 vote in the chamber of deputies, the lower house. Berlusconi also won a confidence vote in the senate, by 162-135.
His path through the upper house was smoothed by the tactical abstention of a rebel group loyal to his former deputy, Gianfranco Fini, whose revolt first pitched Italy into crisis in July. For Fini, the result of the day's ballots was a stinging rebuff and one that is bound to raise doubts about his tactics and judgment.
Questions will also be asked about how, in several parts of Rome,

police were apparently caught unawares by demonstrators who split away from a march involving tens of thousands of people protesting against the government and the effects of the recession.
Opponents of the government, including trade unionists and revolutionary socialists carrying red flags, were joined by students demonstrating against a recently approved university reform bill and people left homeless by the L'Aquila earthquake last year. The marchers filled the broad, long avenue that runs from the Colosseum through Rome's ancient forums.
But as they approached the labyrinthine historic centre, where both houses of parliament are located, there were already warnings of the violence to come. Several explosions rocked the city as groups of demonstrators broke away from the march to detonate homemade firecracker bombs.
One was thrown at a government politician ashe left parliament. Police and protesters soon clashed in several parts of Rome, leaving several areas of the city strewn with burned-out cars, shattered glass, paving stones and rubble from barricades that had been thrown up by demonstrators and broken down by police.
In the broad Piazza del Popolo, the scene of some of the most violent clashes, two thick pillars of smoke rose from the remains of a barricade and mingled with teargas fired to disperse the protesters. Student demonstrations were also held in several other cities, including Milan where they briefly occupied the stock exchange.
Berlusconi's opponents in parliament failed to unseat the prime minister despite the efforts of three women deputies in the last stages of pregnancy who turned up to cast votes against the government. One,

Giulia Cosenza, arrived in an ambulance. Another, Giulia Bongiorno, was helped into the chamber in a wheelchair.
The third, Federica Mogherini of the Democratic party, Italy's biggest opposition group, who is nine months pregnant, won a round of applause from her colleagues after fulfilling a promise to get to parliament "unless my water breaks".
Adding to the tension on a day of high drama, the prime minister and most of his followers walked out of the lower house in the final stages of the debate in protest at the heated rhetoric of Berlusconi's most implacable enemy, the leader of the Italy of Principles party, Antonio Di Pietro.
"We have a prime minister derided and ridiculed abroad," said Di Pietro, who went on to allege that Berlusconi had "bought opposition deputies toassure himself of a majority". Two politicians from his party switched their votes in the runup to the ballot.
Pier Luigi Bersani, the leader of the Democratic party, said after the result was known that the prime minister had won a "pyrrhic victory" by resort to "totally scandalous vote trading". Several commentators noted that the governing coalition's tally fell short of an absolute majority and that, with Fini's group now firmly in the opposition, faced serious difficulties in passing legislation.
But Berlusconi said tonight: "There is no alternative majority, so one must carry on." He added that he would try to broaden his majority, citing as one target the conservative Christian Democrat Union of the Centre (UDC). Since Fini's revolt he has depended exclusively on his own party, the Freedom

In addition, Gordon alleged that he was thereafter duped by another inmate, a certain Thomas Massey, into causing his family to send $50.00 to Massey who would prepare a writ that would "guarantee" Gordon's release.
6
Gordon's pro se complaint was filed against William D. Leeke, a commissioner of the South Carolina Department of Correction, and J. R. Martin, Wardenthereto, and Gordon's verified responses, including an affidavit from another inmate, some of the details of Gordon's alleged cause of action emerged. In another interim ruling, the district court recited (1) that Gordon's statements fixed the date on which the assault on him had occurred as January 29, 1976; (2) that the affidavit of another inmate, Joe Harris, stated that he saw ("(i) n January, 1976, I don't remember the exact date,") four black inmates pull Gordon into a cell and beat him while two black officers stood by and watched without intervening; and (3) that Gordon, whose face was badly beaten, said about an hour later that he had been raped and robbed but made no claim to the prison authorities that he had been assaulted

until April 7, 1976, although he had conversed with at least one official after the alleged incident. The district court stated its belief that Gordon's case was "nebulous, at best," and that his claim of rape was highly suspect because he did not inform the prison authorities of it until April 7, 1976. Nonetheless, the district court directed Gordon to submit an affidavit identifying any persons whom he claimed raped him and directed defendants to submit an affidavit from the officer in charge of the cell block in which Gordon was incarcerated on January 29, 1976 as to any incident of the type which Gordon alleged.
10
In response, Gordon filed three affidavits. In the first, which was made by him, he noted that he had previouslydeclined to name his attackers because of fears for his life; he then stated that, while he did not know the names of three of them, the name of the fourth was Bernard Brown. The second affidavit was that of Joe Harris who said that one of the guards who had witnessed the attack was Officer Reilly (sic) and that Harris could identify him by reason of previous contacts between the two of them. The third affidavit was that of David Johnson, another inmate, who said that Gordon had told him on the day of the incident that Gordon refused medical treatment for his face because he feared that disclosure of the incident might endanger his life.

In response, defendants filed a second and third supplemental answer

supported by affidavits and prison records. Succinctly stated, these pleadings asserted that Assistant Correctional Supervisor M. Woodward, Jr., was in charge of the cell block in which Gordon was confined on the date of the alleged incident, but that Woodward had no knowledge, nor did he receive any report, of any attack on Gordon. Neville Riley, the correctional officer named by Harris, made an affidavit that he was the only person of that name employed as a correctional officer at the Central Correctional Institution but that he was not on duty on January 29, 1976 and was never aware that Gordon had been assaulted or in any way physically abused. The attendance records of the institution showing that Riley did not work on January 29were attached.
12
On the pleadings, expanded as recited above, the district court made a final ruling. On its analysis of the facts, it candidly disclosed that "the Court is not fully persuaded that some type of assault did not occur." Notwithstanding, the court dismissed the complaint on the grounds that, factually, Gordon had alleged no cause of action against Leeke and Martin and, legally, they could not be held liable in an action under § 1983 for the misconduct of their subordinates under the doctrine of respondeat superior.
The Maryland Case
13
Wayne Stephen Young sued George H. Collins, Warden of the Maryland Penitentiary, under § 1983 for money damages and injunctive relief. Young alleged that he was removed from his cell in the West Wing of the Penitentiary,

as were all other prisoners in the West Wing, for a shakedown search conducted on September 10, 1976, and that during the search only corrective officers were present in the cell. When he was returned to his cell, he discovered that his watch and metal watchband had been stolen.
14
The defendant moved under Rule 12(b)(6) to dismiss the complaint, and the district court granted the motion. It noted that Young had alleged that "only corrections officers were in the wing at the time"; but it concluded that since Young failed to allege that the warden even knew that the search was taking place, let alone that he was involved in the theft, a claim for relief was not stated since the doctrine of respondeat superior was inapplicable.as defendants in substitution for the warden; or, if Young did not know their identity, the court should have afforded him the opportunity to discover them from the warden, either from his personal knowledge, the personal knowledge of his subordinates or the records of the institution, and advised Young how to proceed. A district court is not required to act as an advocate for a pro se litigant; but when such a litigant has alleged a cause of action which may be meritorious against a person or persons unknown, the district court should afford him a reasonable opportunity to determine the correct person or persons against whom the claim is asserted, advise him how to proceed and direct or permit amendment of the pleadings to bring that

the conclusion of the line, "dream in". To dream is a very human activity: we do not really know if dolphins dream. But one can also day-dream, a common euphemism for stirring creativity and thoughtfulness. The line recalls the slightly trance-like state assumed when we take light exercise. In the tight confines of the aquarium, the dolphin is not free to swim and dream as it does so.
In summary: the dolphin is realising the aquarium will never get any bigger, and that as a result, it will never be free to swim at leisure. The line expresses this in deliberately human language.
This line:
"out of love reflects me for myself"
Is worth quoting in full:
"The other knows and out of love reflects me for myself."
Because it harks back to aline earlier in the poem:
"The other has my shape."
Which would seem to indicate that "the other" is another dolphin sharing the pool. That dolphin has a similar understanding of their awful mutual situation but it can do nothing. Instead, it offers sympathy: it "reflects" out of "love".
"me for myself" is interesting as it is a statement of individuality. Many animals lack a sense of self and, when faced with a mirror, react as if it is another animal of the same species. In saying "myself" the author is stating the dolphins have sufficient self-awareness both to act as individuals and to sympathise with one another, yet more humanising characteristics to generate sympathy for their plight.

Israeli police spokesperson Micky Rosenfeld said the border police officers opened fire on the 20-year-old Palestinian after he drew a knife on them.
Rosenfeld said the Palestinian was killed, while both officers were lightly wounded and evacuated to hospital.
Members of Al-Jazeera's TV crew present at the scene told Ma'an that six Israeli officers on site surrounded the Palestinian and "fired almost 50 bullets" after he had already been shot twice and fallen to the ground.
Israeli media sites published a photograph purportedly showing the Palestinian's ID, which identified him as 20-year-old Muhammad Abu Khalaf from the town of Kafr Aqab in

northern East Jerusalem.
Rosenfeld said the area was closed off and there was "heightened security in the area."
Damascus Gate has been the site of a number of deadly encounters between Palestinians and Israelis since a wave of unrest swept the occupied Palestinian territory in October last year.
On Sunday this week, two Palestinians armed with guns were shot dead at the landmark site after attempting to launch an attack on border police.
Two days later, a Palestinian from Jenin was detained at the gate to the Old City on suspicion of planning an attack after a knife was found under his sleeve.
More than 170 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces and settlers since October. Israel says the majority were shot dead while attempting to carry out attacks, although international rightsgroups have disputed Israel's version of events in several cases.
The attacks that have taken place -- mostly by Palestinian individuals armed only with knives -- have killed nearly 30 Israelis.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said last month it was "human nature" for Palestinians to react violently to Israel's nearly 50-year military occupation, as he urged a change in Israeli policy in the occupied Palestinian territory.

Revisiting Confucianism as a conceptual framework for Asian family study.
Confucianism is the central philosophic background for much of the culture in East Asia (EA), particularly for understanding family and social context. The purpose of this article is to examine more fully Confucianism as a conceptual framework for understanding EA family processes and health practices. Confucianism stresses the traditional boundaries of ethical responsibility and the ideal of good human life as a whole. Embedded within Confucian values are five principal relationships, through which each person defines a sense of identity, duty, and responsibility. Current studies of EA families that consider Confucianism as a theoretical base focus almost exclusively on filial piety and collectivism. Focusing only on these two aspects prevents scholars from exploring more complex interpretations of EA familyChina wants to forge a historic free-trade deal with Canada, but a senior Chinese official said this will require Canadian concessions on investment restrictions and a commitment to build an energy pipeline to the coast.
China sent its Vice-Minister of Financial and Economic Affairs to Ottawa this week for discussions with senior bureaucrats about the prospect of negotiating its first free-trade deal with any North American country.
The visit comes months before the Prime Minister is expected to lead a trade mission to China and India, with a particular focus on opening wide-ranging free-trade talks with Beijing.

tickets remain beholden to the agendas of others and shelve discussion of their community’s issues with the top leadership of their parties.
Instead of bringing up the pressing issues of Muslim masses to the party leadership, they become yes-men of the party bosses and look for largesse for their own kith and kin.
Then there are Muslim leaders who have formed over half a dozen seasonal Muslim parties in the last six months alone. The Ulema Council, the Parcham Party, the Muslim Mahaz, the Peace Party, that sprung up in recent months, are on a narrow Muslim track with no serious effort to make common cause with like minded deprived non-Muslim communities. Other Muslim parties like Assam United Democratic Front (AUDF) and the Milli Council, though a couple of yearsold, have also not made much headway in forming alliances with mainstream secular parties.
And then there are the decades old Majlis Ittehadul Muslimeen (Hyderabad) and Indian Union Muslim League (Kerala/Tamil Nadu), that split because the top leadership refused to share power with other dedicated activists. And there is the seventy year old Jamiat ul Ulema Hind, that though is not a political party, but its top leaders, the Madani uncles and brothers, first fought publicly to control Jamiat and now are contesting election from a variety of parties, backing the agendas and leaders of the respective parties whose candidates they are, often against each other. The agenda and issues of the Muslims has gone out of the window.

pretty much make the political parties agree to address the basic issues of the community.
Instead the parties that claim to be the friends of Muslims are playing games with them. In Uttar Pradesh, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) of Mayawati that only a few months ago opposed the US-India Nuclear Accord as being against Muslims, has given tickets to only 14 Muslims out of a total of 80 parliamentary constituencies in the state, while it assigned 20 seats to Brahmins, whom it claims to oppose. After winning the election for UP Assembly a year ago with solid Muslim support, BSP appointed only one Muslim as a cabinet minister. And that too is the minor portfolio of Environment. Also after becoming Chief Minister, Mayawati stopped the construction of the MohammadAli Jauhar Minority University in Rampur, that would have been of much help in reducing severe educational backwardness among the Muslims of UP.
The Samajwadi Party (SP) of Mulayam Singh Yadav that claimed to be the solid friend of Muslims, has co-opted Kalyan Singh, who as the BJP Chief Minister presided over the demolition of Babri mosque in 1992, into SP’s top leadership. As to the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), when Muslims asked why no Muslim was in the top leadership of the party, its chief Laloo Yadav said that, he himself was the leader of the Muslims of Bihar.
As to the Congress party, with the election campaign in full swing, the party has not included any of its top Muslim leaders in the top tier of its campaigners.

was not satisfied. He tried a fourth but lost control. The young dream came crashing down; so did the aspirations of his wife Maneka and son Varun Gandhi.
The fate of Sanjay Gandhi’s family can be summed up in one line: Power followed by powerlessness.
Indira Gandhi’s elevation of her son has been described as ‘feudal’. Eminent historian Ramchandra Guha has rightly remarked, “And just as sons of Mughal emperors were once given a suba (province) to run before taking over the kingdom itself, Sanjay was asked to look after affairs in India’s capital city.â€Â
29-year old Varun Gandhi’s life journey has been characteristically marked by a steep decline of his family. Varun Gandhi was barely three months old when Sanjay Gandhi died in the accident. Sanjay’s death marked the beginningof an era dominated by Rajiv Gandhi. Rajiv’s miraculous rise eclipsed Maneka and Varun Gandhi. A feeling of loss must be etched in the memory of Varun Gandhi.
So what was Varun Gandhi thinking when he spew venom against Indian Muslims and Mahatma Gandhi, father of the nation? How can a man – who studied in the liberal tradition of London School of Economics and Political Science – be communal? Perhaps he was following in his father’s footsteps whose obsessive preference was to be always in the news.
Sanjay Gandhi was the darling of Indian media in the 70s. Sanjay’s “chief cheerleader and trumpeter†was none other than Khushwant Singh himself who devoted pages and pages of photographs accompanied by flattering text in the famous The Illustrated Weekly of India.

from Vividh Bharati, AIR channel that used to broadcast film music. The Film Censor Board was instructed to hold up release of movies in which Kishore acted or sang! Sanjay’s supporters also warned record companies against selling Kishore’s songs!
Sanjay Gandhi was a man of obsession: ‘The Man Who Used to Get Things Done’ by hook or by crook. Varun Gandhi is following the same path in order to carve out a niche for himself. There is a fundamental difference between the two: The father was arrogant and haughty but he had at least apologised once on the instructions of his mother, Indira Gandhi. In an interview, Sanjay had lambasted the Marxists and accused them of being corrupt. He later retracted his statement and said that leaders in Janameans that America’s global alliance relationships are at stake. Taipei and Tokyo will watch closely how the U.S. and NATO deals with Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius. As the American security establishment returns to the intricacies of conventional deterrence it will also remember the painful predicaments of making policy for the sake of credibility while having to solve the problems at hand.

Just last month, Bill Murray crashed a bachelor party in Charleston, South Carolina, imparting some interesting advice to the groom.
This month, he popped into an engagement photo shoot. The photographer says she turned around and saw Bill there, lifting his shirt up and smacking his belly in an attempt to make the engaged couple laugh. The photographer invited Bill to step in, and he did.
Next up, Bill will be stumbling into a wedding party. I mean, he’s already got the tux, right? And from the looks of it, a couple of groomsmen at the ready.the order of the Bankruptcy Judge overruling their objection was improper. A plenary proceeding should have been pursued. The order of the Bankruptcy Judge is hereby reversed, and the trustee is remitted to proceed in a plenary suit.

women needed to step back. His rationale was that black women had always had access to the white world as domestics, while black men did not have that access. He also pointed out that black women were being promoted in workplaces (especially public sector) while black men were being left behind. I'm not kidding. This was his rationale. His idea was that black women needed to let black men be men, and that a black female heading her household and supporting her children (because her man had left) was, somehow, disempowering black men. He was not happy when I pointed out that most black females headed households out of necessity, not out of any desire to weaken black men.

Monterey Bay's bustling marine life brings trouble, too

Nature's truth and tragedy unfolded in a dramatic scene on Monterey Bay last week when a pack of 20 orcas attacked a mother gray whale and its calf.
The fight, which lasted more than two hours,was witnessed and photographed by field scout Bart Selby and dozens aboard whale-watching boats that cruised at top speeds to the periphery of the scene and cut their engines.
In the past year, Monterey Bay has become the richest marine region on the Pacific Coast. In the past three weeks, it has reached a new peak with unbelievable hordes of anchovies, along with other baitfish, and with that, the highest numbers of salmon, marine birds, sea lions, gray whales, humpback whales and orcas anywhere.
The bay ignited with life again in early April after the howling winds out of the north in late March set off upwelling in the underwater canyon and jump-started the marine food chain.

coast and the Monterey Underwater Canyon, strong north winds will push surface waters to the side, which allows cold, nutrient-rich water to rise up from the depths to the shallows. When sunlight penetrates that nutrient-rich water, it triggers plankton growth, which is the foundation of the marine food chain.
Although the salmon forecast for the coming year is excellent in many areas on the Pacific Coast - and is expected to be the best offshore southern Washington and San Francisco - it is Monterey Bay that has had the fish, the best catches and spectacular sightings of whales and other marine wildlife.
"The biomass of anchovies out there, just billions of tons of feed, is incredible," said Todd Arcoleo at Chris's Fishing Trips in Monterey. "It's brought in the salmon,on the inshore waters at Whaler's Cove at Pigeon Point near Pescadero.
Selby boarded the Point Sur Clipper with Monterey's champion whale specialist, Nancy Black, and they quickly found the orcas, more than 20 in all, on the hunt.
At mid-afternoon, the orcas found a mother gray whale with a calf.
"They came in waves, like attacking swarms of hockey players," Selby said. "When one group got tired, then the entire line would rotate out and orbit the center ring while a new swarm of orcas pressed the attack."
Just as a pack of coyotes will try to separate a fawn from its protective mother, the orcas tried to pry the calf away from its mother as well.
"The fight lasted over two hours," Selby said. "The orcas came in groups of four

World Trade Center in New York City. Each of the defendants stated that the agents were known to them and in place. Each of the defendants stated that they had previous success in international marketing, and Thompson, in particular, referred to his success in marketing concrete docks, the so-called "Rock Dock" scheme.

In the first six months of marketing Dugan placed ads and did telemarketing from Florida where he was in a halfway house serving time for his previous federal conviction in 1988 of mail fraud in connection with the Rock Dock. In February 1995 he came to Minneapolis where Thompson had been directing the operation and, in March 1995 he participated in a conference discussing what they should do as Thompson was being returned toprison for violation of his probation in connection with the Rock Dock. They agreed that members or potential members would be told that Thompson was going to Europe and Australia to visit the agents. Dugan, when he was in Florida, had explained his presence there to potential members by saying it was a "free trade zone," without mentioning his confinement in the halfway house.

No network of 1,200 agents existed. No headquarters in London or New York existed. No manufacturers were ever persuaded to invest with GAILS. No member had a chance of earning money honestly from the scheme. No money paid by members was refunded. GAILS was an out and out scam run by two men who not only had practiced

to introduce a tape recording, lasting 40 minutes, of the March meeting that discussed the action to be taken when he returned to prison. Thompson, Dugan and five others had participated at this meeting. Dugan and the government objected to admitting the whole recording on the grounds that much of it was hearsay. Thompson did not identify specific passages that should be admitted. The district court sustained the objections.
8
At the government's request the court gave "a willful blindness" instruction as to Dugan, who had not testified at trial and whose defense essentially had been lack of guilty knowledge of Thompson's scheme, at least prior to Dugan's coming to Minnesota.
9
During its deliberations the jury sent a note asking the judge to define "agent" and "network."was equally appropriate to explain Thompson's absence from the last phase of GAILS by his re-incarceration to serve out the rest of his Rock Dock sentence. As to Dugan, the Rock Dock conviction explained why he was confined to a halfway house in Florida and so was relevant in establishing that fact in contradiction of Dugan's lying explanation as to why he was in Florida. As to both defendants, the evidence of the Rock Dock criminal scheme was similar in pattern to the one in which they were embarked. It was admissible evidence to establish their fraudulent intent. United States v. Williams, 95 F.3d 723, 730-31 (8th Cir.1996), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 117 S.Ct. 750, 136 L.Ed.2d 687 (1997).

1941: The Smith-Putnam Wind Turbine feeds AC power to the electric grid, the first wind machine ever to do so.
The unprecedented project was built up from nothing, practically conjured, by Palmer Putnam, an MIT-trained geologist with no formal education or experience in wind power. He was a fascinating character, a clean-energy entrepreneur 70 years ahead of his time.
Vannevar Bush, President Franklin D. Roosevelt's science adviser, showered praise on this engineer-of-all-trades, calling Putnam a "go-getter" in his autobiography and noting that he "had some of the characteristics of the best type of promoter in industry. He was well-liked by men with lots of drive, and often disliked by those with less." His friends called him Put, after the Greatest Generation–traditions of the day.
Before this project, windmills had just pumpedwater for farmers in the boonies, or charged the batteries of rural radios so they could pick up the AM stations that brought news across the lonely, whistling prairies. The people who sold windmills marketed them to ranchers and farmers; their advertisements appeared in magazines like American Thresherman, Farm Power, Agricultural Technology and Successful Farming.
The American windmill, as it was called, was simple and Western and rugged. Its shape hardly changed after key 1880s experiments by Thomas Perry resulted in the founding of the Aermotor company, which dominated the industry thereafter.
But that's not the kind of turbine that Putnam had in mind. After looking into the designs of the past, he immediately decided that the economics of scale dictated that he build a wind turbine with 75-foot blades,

replacement until 1945. With the war waning, the wind machine got back up and running in the spring of that year. And that's when disaster struck.
At midnight on March 26, 1945, the wind was blowing at a sleepy 5 miles an hour, too slow to make electricity. Harold Perry, a construction foreman, had been working nonstop for the 23 grueling days since the renewable power plant had gone back online after repairs. That night, an elevator carried Perry 100 feet up through the oil-derrick–like tower to the small, armored building that housed the controls for the world's largest wind machine.
Atop the rural Vermont mountaintop known as Grandpa's Knob, Perry didn't know that the grandest wind experiment in the first few millennia of human existence was about to fail.
Perry'sjob was to watch over the turbine and make sure that everything ran smoothly. The turbine had built-in methods for "coning" out of the wind to keep it from spinning too quickly, but it seemed like a good idea to have someone around … just in case.
During the day, Perry could stand behind the rotating blades in a flannel shirt and a hardhat, staring out at the unspoiled expanses of rural New England. Old films show the blades — the bomber wing look-alikes — beating a rhythmic, majestic whomp-whomp right in front of his face.
At night, however, he couldn't see much out there. The wind was picking up.
At exactly 3:10 a.m. on March 26, 1945, after more than 1,100 hours of operation, the Smith-Putnam turbine experienced an epic

failure. One of the turbine's blades broke clean off and went sailing 750 feet through the night. The force of the breaking blade threw Perry off his feet, as the unbalanced machine shook like the bridge of the Starship Enterprise when it's under attack.
Putnam dramatized the scene in his book on the project, Power from the Wind:
Suddenly he found himself on his face on the floor, jammed against one wall of the control room. He got to his knees and was straightening up to start for the control panel, when he was again thrown to the floor. He collected himself, got off the floor, hurled his solid 225 pounds over the rotating 24-inch main shaft, reached the controls, and brought the unit to a full stop in aboutor solar.
Putnam himself later advocated the use of atomic and solar power to replace fossil fuels in the long run. He devoted only a few dismissive sentences to the potential of wind power in a sweeping energy analysis he wrote for the Atomic Energy Commission in the early 1950s.
But the turbine wasn't a failure for the thousands of wind engineers who've come after Putnam. "Interest in developing large wind-electric generating systems in the United States was stimulated primarily by one man, Palmer C. Putnam," a crisis-induced 1973 NASA research report on alternative energy found.
Putnam might have failed, but he failed well.
He created data on which inventors could build the future. In a startlingly progressive move, the S. Morgan Smith Company, which had bankrolled the project, assigned their patents

New GM truck models continue to demand higher prices, as the Silverado and Sierra climbed more than 6 percent each. Cadillac is the only GM brand on the decline, which is driven by its ATS and XTS models. In addition, the mix of Escalade sales is down as they prepare to launch the redesigned 2015 model, which is bringing down Cadillac's overall average transaction price.

Jeffrey Fennern is the surviving husband, and Farah Fennern is a surviving daughter.
Factual and Procedural Background
Fennern, a 47-year-old woman, underwent elective colon resection surgery on
March 28, 2007, at Shannon Medical Center in San Angelo. On April 9, 2007, a CT scan performed
on Fennern indicated an anastomotic leak from the operation, and Fennern underwent additional
surgery to correct the leak.
Following the April 9 surgery, Fennern began having increasing tachycardia (rapid
heart rate) and hypoxemia (low blood oxygen) and was complaining of shortness of breath. After
several days of receiving treatment for those conditions, Fennern improved, was removed from her
ventilatorQ:
Extra oxygen from breathing when lighting up the hydrazine?
When he first tries to light up hydrazine in the greenhouse in order to obtain water, The Martian Mark Watney blows up the contraption. Later, he reasons this was due to the extra oxygen he exhaled.
But the oxygen level of the air in the dome must've been around 20%, and the oxygen in human exhaled air is around 15%. Why would there be significantly more oxygen around the ignition apparatus (which was at an arm's length above Mark)?
A:
Disclaimer: Answer according to the book, not sure if it is the same in the movie.
The whole process happens in two steps:
Burning the hydrogen directly as it is produced from the hydrazine in the normal 20% oxygen atmosphere. Mark does this until he

Tooley Street
Tooley Street is a road in central and south London connecting London Bridge to St Saviour's Dock; it runs past Tower Bridge on the Southwark/Bermondsey side of the River Thames, and forms part of the A200 road. (.)
St Olave
The earliest name for the street recorded in the Rolls is the neutral regio vicio i.e. "royal street", meaning a public highway. In the "Woodcut" map of c.1561 it is shown as "Barms Street", i.e. street to Bermondsey; in the Stuart period it was referred to as "Short Southwark" to differentiate it from "Long Southwark" (the present Borough High Street).
The later "Tooley" designation is a corruption of the original Church of St Olave and the transformation can be seen on maps of the area from those ofparsley
plant. Her visitor was a member of the Swallowtail family. Several species are found in Texas.
Monarchs and Swallowtails are native to the area. Unlike Monarchs, however, Swallowtails are here year-round. And their caterpillars are much less picky about their meals than Monarchs.
Swallowtail caterpillars will chow down on fennel, parsley, rue and dill–all of which grow easily in the Fall garden and also supply cooks with ready-to-snip fresh herbs. In San Antonio, I find fennel and flat leaf Italian parsley are easy-to-grow, and the best choice for attracting Swallowtails. A friend in Austin had Swallowtail caterpillars covering her rue plant, so it often depends on your yard.
The four Swallowtail caterpillars pictured here were found on a fennel plant I planted in February and which, typically, I would have pulled

was heard saying on the video clip.
The speech set off a political storm, with Romney accused of elitism, hurting his opinion poll ratings.
According to Huffington Post, the bartender who filmed the speech had previously worked at a fundraising event for Bill Clinton, where the former President had come back to the kitchen to thank the staff afterwards. The incident inspired the bartender to film Romney's speech.
Known as the "comeback kid" for rescuing his electoral victories from the jaws of defeat, Clinton overcame impeachment proceedings and the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal to leave office with the highest approval rating of any U.S. president since the Second World War.
The former president features in a new episode of the show "CNBC Meets". In this wide-ranging interview in Little Rock, Arkansas, Clintonsaid that intervening earlier in Rwanda could have saved around 300,000 of the one million lives lost in the country's civil war.
"If we'd gone in sooner, I believe we could have saved at least a third of the lives that were lost...it had an enduring impact on me," he told Presenter Tanya Bryer.
A full interview with President Bill Clinton can be seen on "CNBC Meets" on March 20.

to the State Department of Licensing for a temporary permit, which would be turned into a permanent permit when Lamb mailed or faxed in his falsified log. The licenses were then mailed by a third contractor to the applicants at the false Washington address Milovanovic had supplied.
Lamb and the firm for which Milovanovic worked both had contracts with the state saying that they were independent contractors, not employees and not agents. The state was not deprived of its fee, and did not lose a nickel on account of the dishonest test and residency certifications. There was no paperwork saying that any fiduciary duty pertained.
The superseding indictment charges mail fraud and conspiracy to commit mail fraud by Milovanovic, Lamb, and four of their customers under 18 U.S.C. §§ 1341,deprivation of services provides a predicate for fraud, only deprivation of services the value of which depends on their being performed honestly.[26] The statute says "honest services," not just "services," and every word should be accorded meaning.[27] Dishonest deprivation of services differ from deprivation of honesty in providing services. The statute criminalizes the latter, not the former. Suppose an employee in charge of purchasing office supplies, bribed by a free ticket, sneaks off to the ball game leaving his suit jacket on the chair and having his coworker tell his boss if she inquires that he is in the men's room. He has dishonestly deprived his employer of services in exchange for a bribe, but has not deprived his employer of honesty in the performance of his tasks,
