poll results released Wednesday show nearly 38 per cent of those who have made up their minds say they will vote for Ford on Oct. 25.
George Smitherman — Ford's nearest rival — has the overall support of about 29 per cent.
For Ford it means a jump of more than seven per cent in voter support since June, while support for Smitherman, Coun. Joe Pantalone and Sarah Thomson has remained flat.
"I find the results are a little surprising," said Josh Justice, president of the polling company, in a telephone interview with CBC News. "There has been a noticeable shift in momentum."
The poll shows the lion's share of Ford's support comes from the outside the old City of Toronto , with his strongest showing in the former municipalities of York,Scarborough, North York and especially on his home turf of Etobicoke.
Smitherman leads the polls in the City of Toronto and East York.
The Pollstra poll also asked the 432 respondents for their voting preference in federal politics —
and the results show Ford's appeal stretches across party lines.
Not surprisingly Ford has an enormous lead among Conservative supporters, with 65.7 per cent of those voters saying they intend to vote for him. The next closest candidate is Sarah Thomson with 11.6 per cent.
Surprisingly Ford also leads with Liberal supporters, although the margin of error puts him in a virtual tie with Smitherman, the former Ontario Liberal cabinet minister.
Among Liberals, 36.8 per cent of those surveyed say they would vote for Ford. Smitherman has the backing of 34.2 per cent.

amount of sense. The suburbs should be linked up to the subway, and we can't deny that a lot of people need cars (why should we make life more difficult for them??)
This morning, Toronto awoke to a new era. After seven years of Mayor David Miller, voters did an abrupt u-turn and elected the fiscally prudent, anti-elite, suburban candidate, Etobicoke Councillor Rob Ford, as their next Mayor. The event brought back the memories of the 1995 Ontario provincial election, when Mike Harris, then the Progressive Conservative MP for North Bay, swept to victory on a wave of discontent with the big-spending, leftist regime of Ontario NDP Premier Bob Rae.
Then, as now, voters rejected the urbane vision presented to them by centre-left politicians, one which placed government at theand entertainment. Whether they’re living the high life, reinventing themselves, hustling to the next level, or re-focusing on family, they’re all just trying to find their balance. Watch to follow along as they navigate relationships, careers, and a whole lot of drama!

This post was a ‘big hit’ and most French media discussed the story afterwards. END of UPDATE
The secret document “SECRET//SI//NOFORN VISIT PRECIS BERNARD BARBIER” confirms that Barbier visited the NSA on April 12 2013 to discuss the attacks. The US agencies had denied involvement in January and offered assistance in attributing the attacks.
This note offers a summary of the information published by the French Media:
An initial press report from Paris Atlantico, “French Web site Says Turkish Hackers Behind Elysée Cyber Attacks.” dated 12 July 2012 stated it was believed “the attacks originated from France’s allies” and speculated Turkish hackers with possible links to Turkish “intelligence services or government bodies” might be responsible.
Barbier claims in the interview that he came easily and quickly to the conclusion that only twocountries –The US and Russia — were capable of such a sophisticated attack. Based on similarities with a previous attack the DGSE had investigated and understood, Barbier was 100% convinced that the attacks were coming from the NSA.
[Comment: Officially, it was nevertheless Turkey that was blamed for this hack in the French media… Does that ring a bell?]
‘Quantum Insert’ has been used to hack the machines. This type of attacks was used in the GCHQ/NSA operation against employees of the Belgian Telecom Belgacom, renamed Proximus today.
The malware was detected in May 2012 — between the two rounds of the Presidential election — and the help of the Technical Division of the DGSE was requested.

Newtown school shooting – Connecticut State Police officers search outside St. Rose of Lima Roman Catholic Church in Newtown, Connecticut, on Tuesday, December 16, after a threat prompted authorities to evacuate the building. Investigators found nothing to substantiate the reported threat, a police official said, declining to provide additional details. The church held Sunday services following the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown.

From Washington to the well-stocked shelves of Walmart stores nationwide, guns are regarded in the United States as a commonplace if controversial consumer item for millions of law-abiding hunters, collectors and citizens concerned about their safety. They are also in the hands of thousands of killers, too; a Washington-based anti-gun lobby says those guns shoot more than 100,000 people a year. In 2010, there were more than 30,000 deaths caused by firearms when the number of homicides, suicides and accidental deaths are tallied.

West in the 1800s, the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King half a century ago and rampages like Columbine in 1999 or Virginia Tech in 2007 -- is marked time and time again by guns.
"It's undeniable," writes Clayton Cramer, author of "Armed America: the Remarkable Story of How and Why Guns Became as American as Apple Pie." "Guns are at the center of much of America's history, its legends, and its horrors."
There were guns in America long before the America we know today was even born. Early settlers in several states were required by law to own and maintain weapons as a matter of collective defense.
By the time the United States was established, its citizens had taken up arms not only against their Native American"stand your ground" laws that allow people to kill if they come under threat, even, in some cases, if they can escape the threat without violence.
The laws are being driven by politics, and the politics are being driven by groups such as the National Rifle Association. Once a relatively modest organization of gun enthusiasts and hunters, it has become one of the most powerful political groups in the country. The Washington Post estimates that the NRA succeeded in helping elect four out of every five candidates it endorsed in the 2010 congressional election.
In addition to that extraordinary impact in Congress, it has been working to overturn gun-control laws in the courts.
The NRA and other gun-rights groups have allied themselves with the Republican Party and, especially, a sector of

North Carolina when the bus driver, 23 year old Eric Jimmerson from New York, fell asleep near Benson North Carolina on Interstate 95. The bus crossed the median heading towards a car coming in the opposite direction. The driver of the car swerved, trying to avoid the bus and crashed into a tree. He was seriously injured and his wife who was in the passenger seat died in the accident. Their 12 and 13 year old children who were sitting in the back were also injured. The New York bus driver was in critical condition after he was ejected from the bus. He may face charges. Four other passengers on the bus suffered personal injury. Read more here

In New York every year several pedestrians and cyclists die and many others suffer personal injury after being struck by an MTA Bus. In many of these accidents investigation shows that drivers were negligent and failed to yield or failed to exercise due care. Since the beginning of the year a few bus drivers were arrested after a new Vision Zero Law made it a misdemeanor for drivers to strike pedestrians or cyclists who have the right of way. TWU Local 100, the bus drivers Union is against thisthe NHTSA “ESC works instantly and automatically to maintain directional control in situations where the driver’s own steering and braking cannot be accomplished quickly enough to prevent the crash.”
This new rule has been a long time coming. The first recommendation to equip large truck and buses with ESC was issued by the NHTSA in 2011.
A 68 year old Spanish woman visiting from Spain died in a bus accident in Manhattan last Thursday.

we visit this superb venue John always makes sure all the chairs are out and no request is too small for him to help us with.
One of the most incredible occurrences that happened at The Old Nick was when a group of ghost hunters were calling in a circle around a table out in the theatre, when all of a sudden in the corner of the room a really loud noise was heard, immediately Simply Ghost Nights experienced paranormal investigator Mark shone his torch in the area of the noise and to his and Rosey's, Martin, Hannah, Sue's and Mandy's astonishment they all clearly saw a chair moving as if it had been thrown. No one was in the vicinity of the chair, this beggared the question who,or what had thrown the chair.
In another vigil in the theatre a different group of ghost hunters experienced activity in this remarkable building, Jo one of Simply Ghost Nights professional and caring team leaders was conducting an Ouija board experiment when the group begun communicating with a spirit with the initials H.W and he also stated that he was forty years old when he passed over and he had being a police officer there. The group also felt cold breezes under the table. Pauline and Hollie had their legs touched under the table. A black shadow was seen by the entire group to the amazement of Lee, Pauline, Susan, Clair, and Mark. Mark was stood in the corner when a man's face appeared directly in front of him

as if intimidating him, the face of this spectral being was also seen by Jo herself, Clair, Sue, Lee and Pauline, and many more ghost hunters all confirmed seeing this face and all described the same crooked nose, who was this ghostly inhabitant of the old Nick who was seen by so many ghost hunters.
In a vigil in the men's cells a group were communicating with Freddie on the Ouija, Freddie turned out to be a practical joker and didn't want to tell us much about himself. However he liked certain peoples voices all the women's voices he would respond too, Freddie was certainly a ladies man and had all the women enthralled when they conducted a table tipping experiment, the table at one point was on oneleg, and whenever Martin attempted to touch the table the table would move away from him much to the amusement of the remainder of the group.
All team leaders mentioned that in most of their vigils they had witnessed some excellent glass divination and table tipping, and again it must mentioned the number of ghost hunters who saw the eerie ghostly face with the crooked nose. Mel mentioned that in one of her vigils the sound of exhaling breathe was heard, this too was validated by other ghost hunters who had also heard the this strange noise.
The table tipping in the theatre was as described some of our best to date. At one time Sue, Hannah, Rosey and Becky had just one fingertip on each corner of the table

Story highlights A hacked email shows a Clinton campaign staffer saying he heard of a court hearing from "DOJ folks"
That hearing was public information and reported on by numerous mainstream media outlets
Washington (CNN) Donald Trump on Tuesday accused the Justice Department of feeding information to Hillary Clinton's campaign to "cover up for her crimes."
Trump seized on hacked emails released by Wikileaks that purport to show Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon communicating with the DOJ regarding a FOIA lawsuit in 2015, and said they showed collusion between Clinton and the Obama administration regarding its email investigation.
"The DOJ fed information to the Clinton campaign about the email investigation so that the campaign could be prepared to cover up for her crimes," Trump said, at a rally in Panama City, in Florida'sKinetic equivalence of the active sites of alcohol dehydrogenase from horse liver.
The reduction, catalysed by liver alcohol dehydrogenase, of benzaldehyde in the presence and absence of pyrazole, and the oxidation of benzyl alcohol and cyclohexanol in the presence of isobutyramide, has been measured by the stopped-flow technique. In performing these experiments particular care was taken to purify the enzyme, coenzymes, substrates and inhibitors, and to minimise as much as possible the effects of a blank substrate reaction. The calculation of the amount of substrate converted to product during the various phases of the transient process was based on the absorption coefficients for the enzyme-coenzyme and enzyme-coenzyme-inhibitor complexes determined in the absence of substrate. The results show that the two active sites of liver alcohol dehydrogenase are kinetically equivalent

I'm in Munich and at Maxburgstrasse 4, in the centre of the city, I discovered a veritable treasure trove of dolls house furniture, miniature accessories and things I hadn't seen before.
The shop is called Munchen Puppenstuben and this family-run business has been going for over 30 years.
As well as having a good look at everything you could ever need for dolls houses, I was particularly drawn to their out-of-the-ordinary minis.

Deliveroo driversGrocery store makes comeback in small ND community
Eighty-three-year-old Richardton resident Clara Hauck says that the store is especially important for older citizens who want to avoid the heavy traffic in the oil patch region.
Associated Press
A small town in southwestern North Dakota is getting something back that it lost seven years ago. It's a grocery store.
The nearest supermarket for Richardton, a town of 529 residents, is 15 miles away in Hebron. The largest city, Dickinson, is 23 miles away.
Eighty-three-year-old Richardton resident Clara Hauck tells the Dickinson Press (http://bit.ly/TP3l1W) that the store is especially important for older citizens who want to avoid the heavy traffic in the oil patch region.
Hauck says Richardton has had a grocery store off and on throughout the years.

and objectives such as legal certainty and efficiency, have been proposed for legal rules. Efficiency, with its rational foundations and structure, along with justice, can play a substantial role in fulfilling the responsibilities of the legal system. Efficiency, through its rational perspective, and justice, by means of its largely spiritual and idealistic basis, can adjust the rules and the relationships among different individuals in a society. Efficiency, along with the traditional bases of legal rules, such as justice, can result in the fulfillment of the role of legal systems, while on the other hand, may lead to conflicts between them. Efficiency can be utilized in the phase of establishment of rights and commitments, optional or compulsory fulfillment of them, and in the settlement of disagreements as well.Law QuarterlyدانشگاهLoveSick
By fifteen minutes to showtime, a transportive tone had already been established in the lobby of the LOFT Ensemble. Marionettes hung suspended in corners and instrumental, lullaby-esque renditions of well-known songs (Coldplay's "Clocks," for example) played over the sound system.
Through the lobby and into the theater, the small wooden stage was empty save a large mason jar. Audience members filed in, chatting and settling into their seats until a bell indicated the production's imminence, and in short order the audience had hushed and turned stage-ward. And then...black.
A complete sleep-like darkness, more profound then the average pre-show dimming. And then light -- first hesitant and sputtering, then steadily intensifying -- emanating from the mason jar, flooding the intimate space with a gentle glow. This was but the first of

Of course, every love story has its obstacles and those abound in the darkly comic forms of Sally and Frank, Benjamin and Sophia's respective pursuers. Sally -- exactly the sort of grim vampiress Benjamin thinks should tickle his fancy -- is brilliantly acted by Deborah Baker Jr. whose Elvira-like performance was a standout.
The production both accomplishes its own goals and delivers on its promise. This is in no small part thanks to the tour de force that is Larissa Wise, who wrote, directed, and starred in "LoveSick" as Sophia.
Unfortunately, the character of Frank, though with its merits and certainly serving a purpose, was nowhere near a sufficient parallel with Sally, though that role, too, was well-played by Jason Ryan Lovett.

Russia's parliament was expected Friday to give initial backing to a bill banning homosexual "propaganda" among minors that could lead to gays being fined for demonstrating or kissing in public.The highly contentious measure is based on a law passed in President Vladimir Putin's native city of Saint Petersburg last year and in several other Russian regions.To the horror of gay rights activists, the ruling United Russia party has now put forward a proposal for a federal law before the State Duma lower house

of parliament.Major cities such as Moscow, which ban annual gay rights parades, frown upon homosexuality, which was illegal for much of the Soviet era.The bill in its current form prohibits "the propaganda of homosexual behaviour among minors". Activists worry that the vague wording of the bill could lead to gays being fined for demonstrating or even holding hands in public.It also sets out fines for violations of up to 5,000 rubles ($165) for individuals and up to 50,000 rubles for officials.Legal entities such as businesses and schools would be fined up to 500,000 rubles ($165,000).Rights activists have vowed to fight the legislation, and a small group of its foes planned another "kiss-in protest" -- the third such event this week -- outside parliament during the debate.Last year's SaintPetersburg measure led to a boycott of the former imperial capital by international gay rights groups and a series of fines against couples who appeared in public kissing or holding hands.The ruling party's law formally aims to shield Russians aged up to 18 from what its authors view as the spread of dangerous and often foreign ideas by Western-backed advocates and new social media.United Russia has the votes to carry any piece of legislation on its own without consultation with the other parties. But Communist and other lawmakers have also expressed sympathy with the draft.Friday's reading will be the first of three held in the Duma.

IRVING (AP) – The Cowboys are set to hire Cleveland Browns running backs coach Gary Brown for the same job in Dallas.
The team’s website reported Friday that the addition of Brown was expected to be completed next week. He would replace Skip Peete, who was the first coach fired in an offseason overhaul of coach Jason Garrett’s staff.
Brown spent the past four seasons with the Browns, his first NFL job.
A former NFL back with the Houston Oilers, San Diego and the New York Giants, Brown has college coaching experience with Lycoming, Susquehanna and Rutgers.Interview with Steff Chávez-Flores ’17, student curator of the exhibition “Where do I go from here?”

Steff Chávez-Flores ’17 is majoring in Government & Legal Studies and Art History at Bowdoin. Steff spent last summer at the Museum as a Curatorial Fellow and Museum Education Assistant. As a Curatorial Fellow, she developed an exhibition of vernacular photography that opens on November 3.
Will Schweller ’17, Student Assistant to the Curator, interviewed Steff about her experience as a curator.
How did the idea for an exhibition of snapshot photography come about? How did you go about selecting pieces for the show?

and was interested in making a donation of snapshot photography. His collection is comprised of more than 30,000 photographs that were taken from 1900 to roughly 1980. Cohen began his collection by buying snapshots at street fairs—the original owners (or more likely the families of the original owners) essentially discarded the photographs by making them available for sale. Given the nature of how Cohen acquired the photographs, the photographers and subjects in the photographs are anonymous. Since his collection is so large and he thinks his images should be shared, Cohen began contacting museums all over the country offering a donation. Museums that have photographs from his collection include the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Museum ofElectra by Euripides

the halfway point, the movie took a sharp left turn from the book and never recovered. While the casting was good (especially Gene Hackman’s brilliant portrayal of the murdering President), the movie left me longing to throttle the folks behind butchering the book. Sigh.
And that isn’t the only example of poor book adaptations. The Lost World (Jurassic Park #2) by Michael Crichton wasn’t my favorite book ever. In fact, I thought it came up far short of the excitement of the first novel. But the movie??? Yikes! I guess it bore a loose resemblance to the bound text since there were dinosaurs in the film. The rest was unrecognizable. Other bad adaptations (in my humble opinion) One for the Money, The Firm, Under The Tuscan Sun, Pet Cemetery,architecture of the structure itself is equally as photo worthy. Holding up to 200 people at a time (there were only around 50 when I visited) you enter the capsule at the bottom and then ascend to a height of 138 metres. The capsule remains at the top for a while before descending again.
There’s a bar in the middle serving cocktails, champagne and soft drinks. Sipping bubbly from our big bubble in the sky was a lovely experience. From the top we spotted a few unique details – I’d never realised that along with street art on the walls around Brighton, there was also some hiding on the rooftops!

Rain’s Full Time training program – who play the supporting roles and become together, a declamatory Greek Chorus, their Greek Guard Steampunk garb befitting of the gates and Sphinxes, whose forms they assume. They are: Casey McCollow (who will play Tracy Turnblad in HR’s upcoming production of Hairspray), Cameron Whitten, Dana Musil, Cassie Dormer, Lauren Heidecker, Morgan Kempster, Danny Lazar, Ebony McGeady and Cameron Rollo. They serve as the narrators throughout the play (somebody sounds surprisingly similar to Melanie Zanetti! Look out!), allowing the action to skip along nicely without the use of a projector and a big screen (how old school! Community theatre groups take note!), as well as all manner of inanimate objects: after the Sphinxes, the remaining two gates through which Atreyu must pass, receivein the school attic. What unfolds is the story within the pages of the book, an adventure; a warrior on a mission to save Fantasia.
Economical use of the space allows Bastian to stay in the attic for much of the play. This sounds limiting but it’s not. The action plays out below him, on stage, as he reads aloud from the book. He leaps up often enough and when he opens the heavy cover and turns the pages of the book, we see his lips moving and enjoy watching his beautifully expressive face as he reads, thanks to a perfectly positioned light, placed somewhere, seemingly, within the pages of the book. Incredibly, David Lawrence LOOKS enough like Bastian (Barret Oliver) in the movie to please even the most

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Tag Archives: Denver Broncos
Post navigation
With the close of this weekend, we will have reached the end of the first quarter of the 2016 National Football League schedule. The number of well-known pros that have been injured in just the first few weeks of the year, including Adrian Peterson, Robert Griffin III, J. J. Watt and Jamaal Charles (who is supposed to make his season debut this week), has been unprecedented, but it is also (along with the preseason injuries and suspensions) making many ask an important question – is it parity between the teams in the NFL or is it just bad football?
Back when he was the commissioner of the NFL, Pete Rozelle didn’t like the fact that a handful of teams – like theMiami Dolphins, the Dallas Cowboys or the Pittsburgh Steelers – dominated the pro football landscape. His thought was to see all teams finish as closely together as possible – hell, Rozelle thought that, in a perfect season, all the teams would finish 8-8 – something that Rozelle called “competitive balance” or parity. Over the years, there’s been situations where it has come close to that – recall the 2011 Seattle Seahawks, who won the NFC West with a 7-9 record. There’s also some occasions, though, when it is just bad football and the 2016 season may be one of those deals.
A look at the standings is an opening salvo for this discussion. At this time, only five teams – the New England Patriots, Baltimore Ravens, Denver Broncos and

could be greatly affected by two things. One, the weather conditions expected at game time – rain and wind on the Meadowlands plains – are going to favor the running game, admittedly a rarity for the 2016 NFL. In that parameter, the Jets have the player to keep an eye on. RB Matt Forte, no longer wanted by the Bears (and you know they wish they had kept him now), is the sixth ranked back in the NFL and, along with his pass catching abilities out of the backfield, provide headaches to an aggressive defense such as the ‘Hawks. Two, Seattle comes east for a 1PM game, traditionally believed (and statistically true) to be a detriment to the West Coast team.
The Seahawks aren’t aided by a gimpy QBof the Panthers, not so much with the Vikes.
Los Angeles Rams vs. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (-5)
Remember how I said I was trying to avoid “Jekyll and Hyde?” I couldn’t help myself.
For the first time this season, the Buccaneers return to their home at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa (three other teams – the Miami Dolphins, the Cincinnati Bengals and the Packers – also are making their home debuts this weekend) and that is a remedy for many ills. It should help out Winston the most, who is coming off a horrendous start against the Cardinals but has reportedly put in a solid week of work towards the home opener. Losing RB Doug Martin might be a slight setback, but look for Winston to utilize his corps of wide

Panthers, in the Mile High City. With hope, it can wash away what has been another ugly offseason for the preeminent sporting organization in the intergalactic realm (we have to go there since the WWE now has a Universal Champion).
As soon as the confetti stopped falling from the sky at the conclusion of Super Bowl 50, the news for the NFL has been pretty bad. The reigning Most Valuable Player in the league, the Panthers’ Cam Newton, basically started the poo-poo platter of embarrassment in his sullen demeanor following the loss (you want to feel bad about something, Cam? Feel bad about the way you shafted your teammates and didn’t go all-out on that fumble when the game was on the line). He then doubled down on thosesee something to hang his career on.
The Titans could be one of the surprises in the AFC this year. After an up-and-down rookie year, QB Marcus Mariota is beginning to grasp the concepts of playing quarterback in the NFL and the team has actually put some firepower around him. One of the big pickups in the off-season was the Titans getting RB DeMarco Murray, back after a year wandering in the wilderness of Chip Kelly’s offense in Philadelphia. A reenergized Murray – and an even more overlooked pickup in WR Andre Johnson – and the current Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry could present problems for many teams.
A road team…without their starting quarterback…and the oddsmakers are favoring them? Seems as though the sharps may need a preseason of their

Jonathan Stewart as the full-time running back, and during Training Camp lost their electrifying WR Kelvin Benjamin to a devastating knee injury. While Newton was a known commodity, it was expected that the Panthers would have some difficulties doing much of anything with a revamped offensive line, a no-name wide receiving corps and a suspect defensive unit.
For the Denver Broncos, it almost seemed as if this was their final shot. After being crushed by the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLVIII, the Broncos came back and won the AFC West again with a 12-4 record. After taking their first round bye, however, they were upset in the Divisional Round of the playoffs last year by QB Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts. This led to the firing ofJohn Fox, the hiring of new head coach Gary Kubiak and the “now or never” approach as QB Peyton Manning entered his third year at the helm of the Broncos and they came into this season with questions lingering about his health.
As they always say, that’s why they play the game. Carolina rocketed off on a 14-game winning streak, only losing to the Atlanta Falcons on the road late in the season, before righting the ship and beating their last three opponents (last regular season game against lowly Tampa Bay and two postseason games against Seattle and Arizona) by a combined 118-49 score. Denver, despite losing Manning for more than a quarter of the year, rode the #1 defense in the NFL to a punishing victory over Tom

we will take a look at the game and see who will be lifting the Lombardi Trophy come Sunday night.
We’re only two weeks away from the 50th rendition of what was originally called the AFL-NFL World Championship Game, meaning we have a whole afternoon of football this Sunday to decide the two teams that will represent the conferences that have descended from the lineage of that first game. Now the American Football Conference and the National Football Conference make up the National Football League and the Super Bowl has become a cultural phenomenon, nothing like that first game that was played so long ago. It makes you think back about your first experiences with the game…
My first experience with betting the Super Bowl came when I was inwere knocked out for the year three-quarters through the season, limped into Charlotte for the Divisional Round of the playoffs and put up next to no effort against QB Cam Newton and the Panthers. The depleted Cardinals were only able to generate 77 yards of offense, lost the game 27-16 and had to be left wondering what might have been without the rash of injuries that beset the team.
Flash forward to…well, tomorrow, and they might get their answer. The Cardinals are healthy this year and it shows. Palmer and the Big Red Machine have the best offense in the NFL and can strike through the air (2nd in the league) or on the ground (8th in the league) The problem is they are running into a Panthers team

87 mph knocked down trees, which in turn started fires when they hit power lines. Because of power outages to some pumping stations on November 28 and because other pumping stations burned, hydrants quickly went dry on November 28, and Gatlinburg Fire Chief Greg Miller first asked for help from all of Sevier County and later from the entire state. Damage from the fires also prevented firefighters from communicating with each other through cell phones as the radio system became overloaded. Gatlinburg's emergency operations center phone system went down when it lost power. Even the 911 system could not handle all the calls it received, and calls intended for Sevier County went to Putnam County instead.
Investigation and arrests
Two unnamed juveniles were initially charged with aggravated arson inconnection to the fires; however, charges were later dropped due to lack of evidence as well as language in an agreement between the State of Tennessee and the Department of the Interior which excluded state jurisdiction from prosecuting criminal activities that occurred entirely within the park. Throughout the course of the investigation which revealed that many of the area fires were likely caused by downed power lines, local officials declined to release any information about the fires or response, citing an erroneous interpretation of a gag order.
Reactions
Then President-elect Donald Trump tweeted: "My thoughts and prayers are with the great people of Tennessee during these terrible wildfires. Stay safe!"
Governor Bill Haslam viewed the fires from above, and said it was "a little numbing" to see the extent of the

collided head-on with a Ford Tempo. Heath was appointed counsel and ultimately entered a guilty plea to three counts of serious injury by vehicle under a negotiated plea agreement with a recommended sentence of 30 years, to serve four to fifteen years. After conducting a plea colloquy, hearing from the victims, and discussing Heath's four prior DUI convictions, the trial court sentenced Heath to 30 years, with 15 to serve. Subsequently, Heath sought to withdraw his plea based on ineffective assistance of counsel. The trial court denied the motion to withdraw the plea, finding that Heath had failed to establish that but for his counsel's errors, he would have insisted upon going to trial. The Court of Appeals reversed.

And long ago, a series called "The Twilight Zone" broadcast a riveting episode entitled "The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street."
In brief: a meteor sparks rumors of an invasion by extra-terrestrials disguised as humans. The electricity goes out. A neighbor pleads for calm. Suddenly his car — and only his car — starts. Someone suggests he must be the alien. Then another man’s lights go on.
As charges and suspicion and panic overtake the street, guns are inevitably produced. An "alien" is shot — but he turns out to be just another neighbor, returning from going for help.

of swing, the Lindy Hop is said to have come about in Harlem, New York in 1927. From then, swing dance took off across the US but different social groups in various parts of the country had their own forms of swing which would vary from north to south. As it further evolved in the prosperous times of the 20s, it became an important part of society, particularly on the nightlife scene, even after the 1929 Wall Street Crash. Certain communities, particularly African-Americans in Harlem would use dancing as the main means of socialising and having fun and would often have dance offs in bars and clubs.

A powerful and slow-moving Category 4 hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico that came ashore in southwest Texas on Friday night — lashing the coast with winds of up to 130 mph and dumping huge quantities of rain — has resulted in widespread damage and flooding as rain, wind and tornadoes continue to pound the region.

donated property and funds to help fellow Christians. However, one individual named Ananias, committed fraud. He claimed to have given all of the proceeds to the Church, but held back some of the funds. He lied to the Apostle Peter. We read: "But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession. And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles' feet. But Peter said, 'Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in yourpresence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived" (Revelation 13:1114).
Deception 6: Bitterness
If we are not careful to watch our feelings, we can become bitter. Perhaps someone offends us. Then the hurt feeling turns into a grudge. Then we start thinking about revenge. If such feelings are nursed

11-strikeout games in September.
The deal covers the 2019-to-2023 seasons, but also includes a club option that could turn into a mutual option for the 2024 season.
The extension is the second-largest guarantee for a pitcher with two years of service, behind reigning American League Cy Young winner Blake Snell, who signed a five-year, $50 million this winter. Márquez's deal is close to Gio Gonzalez's five-year, $42 million extension from the Washington Nationals in 2012 that came with a pair of team options. Gonzalez's deal also covered four arbitration seasons, whereas Márquez's encompasses three.
Because Márquez was not yet arbitration eligible, the deal is perhaps most similar in structure to the four-year, $40 million extension New York Yankees starter Luis Severino signed earlier this winter. Severino is a year older thanMárquez and was slated to hit arbitration as a Super 2 before signing the deal. The club option on his deal allows the Yankees to buy out one year of free agency.
Colorado guaranteed one free-agent year and has the opportunity to get a second if it picks up the option, which can turn into a mutual option if Márquez finishes in the top three in Cy Young voting two years. The deal also includes escalators for top-five Cy Young finishes. The latest Márquez will reach free agency is following his age-29 season.
Márquez is part of perhaps the best rotation the Rockies have put together in their 27-year history, with Márquez and left-hander Kyle Freeland -- whom they've also tried to sign to a long-term deal -- headlining it

Blexbolex's previous children's books, Seasons and People, toyed with subtle hints of narrative amid their portraits of flora, fauna, and humans; the French artist pushes further into narrative experimentation with this small-format adventure that grows in complexity and strangeness as it progresses. Once again, Blexbolex's angular, vintage-flavored silkscreen illustrations are paired with brief descriptions. Unfolding in just a few pages, the first story segment suggests a mundane school day: "The school, the road, home," reads a tidy cursive font below a sequence of three illustrations. In the second segment, the unseen narrator notices more of the landscape ("The school, the street, the forest, home"). Strange occurrences quickly mount—a pipe-smoking "stranger" arrives, foxlike "bandits" lurk, and a blue "witch" threatens. From there, the book becomes a wild journey involvingAnandpuri
Sri Swami Anandpuri ji Maharaj (1782–1872) is known as the founder of the Advait Mat tradition. He was initiated by Totapuri.
When he was 90 years of age, He reportedly wrote in Urdu on a piece of paper: "Accept Paramhansa Ram Yaad" referring to Dayal Ji, the one that went to become the "First Master" of Advait Mat.

rejected him solely because of their arrogance. The Qur'an illustrates this as follows:
" _We know indeed the grief which their words do cause thee: It is not thee they reject; it is the signs of Allah which the wicked deny."_ (Qur'an, An'am, 6/33)
Heraclius, the Byzantine emperor of the time, who defeated the Persians in 628 AC, received a letter from the Prophet while he was in Syria. The letter invited him to Islam. Heraclius showed interest in the letter instead of anger. He wanted to inquire and to gather more information about this new religion. For this purpose, he ordered that some countrymen of the new Prophet (peace be upon him) be brought before him. At that time, Abu Sufyan, who was a merciless enemy of the Prophet,increase or decrease?" I replied:
"Their number increases."
He asked:
"Is there anyone among them who left the new religion because he disliked it?"
I said:
"No."
He asked:
"Did you ever accuse him of lying before this incident?"
I said:
"No."
He queried further:
"Did he ever break his promise?"
I said:
"No, he keeps his promises but we made a truce with him for a certain time and do not know yet what he is going to do."
(Abu Sufyan said, "This is the only thing I could include in my answers to potentially discredit him.")
Heraclius asked:
"Did you engage in wars with him?"
I said:
"Yes."

"What were the results of these wars?"

He asked:
"What are the things he commands you to do?"

all the other Prophets because he was given wealth and kingship; as a consequence his questioning will be longer.
There were the rich among the companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) as well. They gained the praise of the Prophet by not sparing their wealth or lives in the path of Allah. Furthermore, Allah also gave them good tidings in the following verse: "Allah hath purchased of the Believers their person and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the Garden (of Paradise): They fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: A promise binding on Him in Truth, through the Torah, the Gospel, and the Qur'an: And who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? Then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded;that is the achievement supreme." (Qur'an, Tawba, 9/111)
One of the wealthy was the closest friend of the Prophet, Abu Bakr, who, despite his wealth, led a most humble life. He was described by Allah in the Qur'an as the "second of the two." He occupied a respected place among the tradesmen of the Quraysh. According to Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), he also did not leave a dirham (silver money) nor a dinar (gold money) when he passed away. He bequeathed only a camel and a slave who knew how to make swords. In his will to his daughter, he stressed that this slave was to be given to Umar, the next Caliph after him. He used his wealth in the most beneficial way, by putting

and reforms their negative aspects. It sees no harm in preserving positive aspects of the past based on clearly set criteria. Using these criteria, it tries to revive an institution rather than throwing it away.
Only those who are confident in themselves and their cause can gradually implement changes that will be rapidly integrated and which usually transform the social order. This type of gradual approach does not immediately overburden societies. As a result, possible negative reactions are forestalled. The best example of this approach is the way Islam reformed slavery. Islam transformed the institution of slavery and made it only a nominal identity. Islam had framed the institution of slavery within virtuous principles in such a way that would eventually lead to its annihilation.
Islam preserved slavery in namesin to hurt the orphans.
Do not think that an orphan is weak;
His tears are his weapon!
The Prophet's Advice about the Rights of Neighbors
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) urged in his teachings to respect the rights of one's neighbors. In a hadith he has said, "Gabriel repeatedly gave me advice about the rights of the neighbors to such an extent that I was led to conjecture that they will take a share from my legacy when I die."[152]
In another hadith, it is stated that, "Non-Muslim neighbors have one right. Muslim neighbors have two rights. The neighbor who is both a Muslim and a relative has three rights."[153] The rights of the neighbors include not looking at their windows, not disturbing them with the smell of cooking, nor performing

of Allah (peace be upon him) felt extreme pity for people who did not know what was right from what was wrong, who were not familiar with the orders and prohibitions of Allah. As he went from door to door to teach the religion of Allah, at times, the doors were shut in his face. Yet he did not resent this misbehavior against him as much as he felt sorrow for people's ignorance.
To these people, he said, _"No reward do I ask of you for this (Qur'an); Nor am I a pretender!"_ (Qur'an, Sad, 38/86)
No one reached the level of honesty and integrity practiced by the Prophet (peace be upon him). He was an orphan. He was introduced to trade by his uncle Abu Talib. His honesty andthem said, "O Muhammad! Our tribe has your milk-mothers and milk-sisters!"
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) responded with great loyalty, "I free all the captives that belong to me and the sons of Abdulmuttalib."
The Immigrants and the Helpers who saw this refined behavior followed his action by saying, "We also free our captives for the sake of the Prophet!"
As a result, on that day, thousands of captives were freed without any ransom[187] . This was a gesture of gratitude and the loyalty to the milk he had been given as a child. It is an excellent lesson for an oppressive nation. Unfortunately, humans quickly forget the favors whose traces fade in the memory. Usually, "LOYALTY" exists only as a word in the dictionary.

"I'm perfectly comfortable that they should be praised, they should be decorated," the right-hand man to former president George W. Bush told NBC television's "Meet the Press" program, adding, "I'd do it again in a minute."
He made his remarks after the release by Senate Democrats last week of a long-awaited investigation into detention and interrogation practices at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp and at secret detention facilities -- so-called "black sites" -- where detainees were held around the world.
Cheney said there is "no comparison" between the tactics and the deaths of American citizens on September 11, 2001, adding that the CIA

abhorrent -- "rectal rehydration" -- which critics categorized as a variation on a medieval form of torture in which the intestines are swollen with fluid in order to cause pain.
Cheney said he was not aware the practice was part of the interrogation program, which intelligence officials have said was meant as a way to provide nutrition to inmates.
Story continues
"I believe it was done for medical reasons," Cheney said.
In excruciating detail, the report described crude torture methods including waterboarding, hanging people for hours from their wrists and locking them in tiny coffin-shaped boxes.
- 'It absolutely worked' -
The report questioned the effectiveness of such techniques, which it determined were actually counterproductive for getting actionable intelligence.
Cheney strongly disagreed.
"It worked. It absolutely worked," he said on Sunday about the program which USofficials euphemistically have referred to as employing "enhanced interrogation techniques."
Reiterating comments he made last week, Cheney insisted that his boss was fully aware about the details of the program as it was being conducted.
"This man knew what we were doing," he said about Bush.
"He authorized it. He approved it."
In earlier remarks the former vice president defended the interrogation program and blasted the 500-page Senate report as "terrible" and "full of crap."
The report released Tuesday said the CIA's interrogation of Al-Qaeda suspects -- including beatings, rectal rehydration, and sleep deprivation -- was far more brutal than acknowledged and did not produce useful intelligence.
It also concluded that the CIA deliberately misled Congress and the White House about the value of the intelligence its interrogators were gathering.

A 48-year-old woman is in life-threatening condition after being attacked on the 400 block of Kearny Street (between Pine and California streets). According to police, the woman was walking on Kearny around 11:10pm last night when a 35-year-old male suspect approached her and yelled at her. He then grabbed her and slammed her on the ground, which caused her to hit her head and lose consciousness.
The suspect fled westbound on Pine, and was not apprehended. The woman was admitted to the hospital in life-threatening condition.

The screenings started with Stu Edwards’ I’m Still Here, in which a sports reporter talked about his social anxiety. His words were matched with sports footage, mostly from a football game and a boxing match. The intensity of the footage and the editing created a particular tension in the

Unlike some events in the SMHAFF programme, these short films could have primarily, but not exclusively, appealed to people who have never experienced any mental health disorders – their true strength resided in how something unfamiliar and unsettling was turned into something intrinsically humane and universally comprehensible and acceptable.

The special was written by Ziggy's creater, Tom Wilson, and features the voice of Perry Botkin Jr., who created the theme music for another Obscurity Factor series - Quark. The charm and warmth of this special make it a joy to watch. Perhaps it didn't catch on because it's set in a rather bleak urban environment. One way or the other, it's definitely worth seeing.
Ziggy's Gift is available on DVD and can be found relatively easily. It's also been uploaded to YouTube in two parts by jiggerfool. Part 1 is above.

Naomi Osaka has said her split with coach Sascha Bajin was about putting "happiness" before "success."
The world No. 1 spoke to press before the WTA event in Dubai, her first tournament since she announced on social media that the two would not be working together anymore. The decision was met with surprise because of the success of their partnership, which saw Osaka win two Grand Slams and get to No. 1 in a little more than a year together.
"Everyone thinks it was a money-related issue, but it wasn't," Osaka was quoted by WTA Insider. "For me, that's one of the most hurtful things I've ever heard. I travel with everyone on my team, I see them more than my family. I would never do that to them."
While the21-year-old said she did not want to "say anything bad" about Bajin because of his contribution to her career, Osaka made it apparent that she had been unhappy with the partnership on an interpersonal level.
"If I'm not waking up happy to practice and happy to be around the people I'm around," she said. "I'm not going to sacrifice that just to keep a person around.
"I would not want to split on really bad terms, because of course he was sort of the one who made me open up to people, so I didn’t want it to be a really hostile thing.
"The problems were there even during her run to the title in Melbourne, according to Osaka. "It was kind of brewing in Australia, and I think some people

Well, thisLate last summer, President Trump fired off a tweet that felt off-topic, even for someone who routinely uses Twitter to try to divert the attention of the media. It was the same week his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort was found guilty of multiple crimes and his personal attorney Michael Cohen agreed to a plea deal, but for some reason, the president was tweeting about the seizing of land from white farmers in South Africa, who were also the victims of “large scale killing.” The language echoed a rallying cry of white supremacist groups who are obsessed with post-apartheid South Africa, but Trump picked up on it after a misleading segment on—what else?—Fox News.
Trump appears to routinely set policy and priorities based on whatever Fox is airing, a

FRENCH HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY
Dating back to Louis Pasteur’s work in the field of vaccination, France has a long tradition of innovation in the field of healthcare.
Thanks to the quality of its hospitals and medical staff, the excellence of its academic and clinical research, the presence of several leading companies in their respective field (Sanofi or Ipsen in pharmaceuticals, Biomerieux in IVD, Air Liquide in medical gas, Legrand in domotics applications for healthcare, etc.) and a strong network of startups, France remains at the forefront of worldwide efforts to better the life of patients worldwide, either in France, in the US or in China.
PHARMACEUTICALS
Thanks to the presence of several large players (Sanofi, Servier, Ipsen, Pierre Fabre, Guerbet, LFB) but also to a number of speciality pharma companies which areleaders in their field (Stallergenes in the fight against respiratory diseases for example), France is at the forefront of innovation in drug development. The French pharma industry invests 12% of its turnover in R&D (around €5 billion, more than its German counterpart).
France also has a whole network of players covering the entire value chain, from preclinical and clinical research to galenics, formulation, manufacturing, packaging, etc. with several key clusters such as Polepharma (www.polepharma.com). France is the leading country in Europe and 3rd worldwide in terms of drug production by value.
BIOTECH
With over 150 biotech firms dedicated to drug discovery/development and more than 400 CROs, France is a major player in this industry. France is ranked second in Europe, right after Germany, in number of full-time researchers working in the

through several public/private partnerships involving key industrial federations (companies in telecoms, IT, electronics, software, healthcare, medtech, IVD, etc.). Several French companies are now working in China with domestic partners to develop solutions customized for the Chinese markets.
HEALTHCARE SERVICE, EDUCATION & TRAINING
France has the most extensive hospital network in Europe, which includes, most notably, the AP-HP (the public hospital system of the city of Paris and its suburbs). A partnership program involving 17 French hospitals with Chinese hospitals in 15 cities and 16 provinces has been in place for several years. This collaboration involves:
Exchange program of hospital directors
Training of Chinese managers on advanced studies in public health
Sharing best practices on how to address the issue of limited health access in remote areas

Jay-Z recently was the guest of honor at the "Live at the New York Public Library" series, during which he told some great stories about his songs, people he knew and more, check it out below.
In conjunction with the release of his first book, Decoded, Jay-Z was the guest of honor at last night's edition of the Live at the NYPL series. Co-hosts Cornel West and NYPL director Paul Holdengräber were really excited, so they'd often gush and ramble, sometimes about the contents of Decoded but often about some other, tangentially related issue (at one point, West really went after Oprah). Seeing Holdengräber, who admittedly had not heard Jay-Z's music until three weeks ago, be that genuinely enthusiastic was particularly

Opioid and illicit substance abuse continues to have major public health implications in the state of West Virginia. By analyzing the Emergency Medical Service (EMS) utilization history of drug overdose decedents, opportunities to improve surveillance of fatal and non-fatal drug overdoses can be identified which can help lead prevention efforts of fatal drug overdoses in the state.
Introduction
============
West Virginia continues to lead the nation in drug overdose deaths per capita. In 2016, the age-adjusted rate of drug overdose deaths was 52 per 100,000 \[[@r1]\]. In the same year, there were roughly 64,000 overdose deaths in the United States, a 21.5% rate increase from 2015 \[[@r1]\]. The drug overdose epidemic in West Virginia has taken a significant toll on individuals, families, communities, and resources.

day of the season. After
Reynolds threw a no-hitter against us, he said, ‘You’re pitching
tomorrow.’ No other pitcher that was called up got to pitch.”
Despite his promising start, Hisner would never reach the major
leagues again. He was invited to spring training the following season,
but with O’Neill out and Lou Boudreau in as the Red Sox new manager,
Hisner lost his champion at the helm. They sent him back to Louisville
to work on becoming a reliever. When an opportunity came mid-season for
Hisner to return to Boston, he was passed over in favor of Al Benton.
“In 1952, they were making a relief pitcher out of me,” he said. “In
the first week in July, Boston needed a relief pitcher. San Diego had
one. Boston always had a verbal agreement with them. They traded meand
Al Richter to San Diego for Al Benton.”
Hisner finished the season with San Diego in the Pacific Coast League
and spent one more year with Wichita Falls in the Big State League in
1953. With his hopes deflated from his demotion, Hisner called it quits
after his time in Wichita Falls.
"I didn't want him to give it up," his wife Anna said to the Decatur Daily Democrat in 2011. "I never did. But he was getting tired of moving around."
His love for the game couldn’t keep him away from the diamond. He
played semi-pro ball in Fort Wayne until he was 37. One of his semi-pro
highlights came at the 1957 National Baseball Congress tournament, where
he led Fort Wayne to the finals after pitching 38 innings in 11 days,

“In 1957, we came in second place out in Wichita," he said in 2008,
"Texas beat us in the finals. Clint Hartung hit a home run off me in the
10th inning and I only had one day rest off of it. I pitched a nine
inning game against Arizona and had one day rest; then I went 10 innings
until Hartung hit that home run off me. I can still see that ball in
flight! It went over the center field lights. Satchel Paige won five
games for South Dakota in 1935 and I came near to tying it. I won the
first four games and lost the last game. I threw 38 innings out there in

In the meantime, a first layer and a first resist film covering the first layer are formed on the semiconductor wafer. With a first exposure apparatus provided with first photomask 70, the first pattern image is exposed on the surface of the first resist film. Then, the first resist film is developed, and the first layer is patterned using the first resist film as a mask.
Semiconductor wafer 400 is taken from the first exposure apparatus and a second layer and a second resist film are formed on the semiconductor wafer. After that, semiconductor wafer 300 is placed on a second exposure apparatus.

the City of Marshall lent it the funds (one of the more bizarre votes I remember while I was in office). Since then the city has taken over operating the festival directly, and has funded the necessary expenses for the rink. Many Texas cities operate golf courses or swimming pools - ours has a skating rink as well. (Did I mention it'll be 75 F on Christmas Day this year? Always a challenge keeping the rink in operation in warm weather).
The rink has been sponsored by the local Ford Lincoln Mercury dealership for the last few years, and before that Samsung had it for a couple of seasons, which has recently led to the tall tale that Samsung built and paid for it, apparently by people who can'tthe proposed new motion indicated that that was the case, and that the defendant could have sought additional pages if it needed it. He also didn't fault the plaintiff for dropping the patent that the defendant had challenged.
"Significantly," he concluded, the validity of the additional patent was still in the case - it just wasn't going to be considered as a dispositive motion.
Back in 2014, New York Times reporter Ken Belson had an article on the front page of the Gray Lady on the declining status of tackle football in Marshall due to the risks of head injuries, Football's Risks Sink in, Even in the Heart of Texas. It noted the cancellation of seventh grade tackle football, as well as the program offered through the Boys & Girls

item is not an inconsiderable one because it's where I came from - after a successful football career in Marshall, my dad went to LSU on a football scholarship where he also majored in - wait for it - engineering. The photo at right shows him in his glory days before the Tulane game his sophomore year. (Tiger fans will be able to date the photo based on his jersey designation - Daddy wore "E7" that year, and no, that's not a typo.) After his playing days he and my mother resumed their courtship from high school in Marshall and they were living in Baton Rouge with my mother teaching at LSU after finishing graduate school when I showed up. So Geaux Tigers!

practicing in his home federal court of the Northern District of Texas.
Yesterday afternoon Judge Amos Mazzant, who sits in the Sherman Division of the Eastern District of Texas, issued a preliminary injunction prohibiting the U.S. Department of Labor from implementing new overtime exemption rules issued in May of this year that were set to go into effect on December 1. The action was in a case brought by the attorneys general of 22 states, and also saw amicus briefs from numerous third parties interested in the issue.
While the order is not a final one - as your O'Connor's tells you a preliminary injunction is followed by a permanent injunction which is decided under a different standard - the order of denial is immediately appealable to the Fifth CircuitCourt decided that an award toward the lower end of the spectrum was appropriate in this case, and set the award at $456,000 (20% of the potential 200%). The court noted the following factors as supporting an award in this range:
First, the court noted that it was undisputed that defendant LG had detailed knowledge of the patents in suit long before the filing of the lawsuit. That it was able to present a noninfringement position at trial the court concluded did not necessarily insulate it from enhanced damages. Additionally while it asserted and invalidity defense, the court noted that LG's corporate representative testified in his deposition that after a thorough review of the patents in suit he had concluded that the patents were novel and nonobvious.

the effect of the three current vacancies on the other five remaining judges of the Eastern District of Texas. He notes that the amount of work facing Eastern District judges "blows every other district in the country out of the water" with the three vacancies in the Eastern District having a weighted number of annual filings at 1,261 when the next heaviest district is 696, in Kansas. (Read that sentence carefully - that means that the five judges with weighted filings each of 1,261 are also absorbing on average another 700 each from the vacancies - for a total of around 2,000).
The article goes on to quote several distinguished practitioners to the effect that the backlog of judicial nominations is delaying trials in Texas federal courts, but Iof 2016, with the trend continuing through the second quarter of the year and across other filers as well.
But I mentioned that there was a second interesting factor at play, and that was illustrated by another article from last week The Number of Unique Patent Assertions Has Been Declining Since 2010 by Pedram Sameni on IPWatchdog. In that article, Pedram notes that while patent case filings increased from 2011 to 2015, the number of unique patents asserted each year has been declining. In fact since 2010 the number of patents asserted has declined 23% from where it was in 2010.
Taken together, these changes may indicate that while absolute levels of patent filings were up - at least through last fall - the number of patent assertions has been

himself, and his civil docket to Judge Schroeder, who is already handling most of the patent docket in Tyler. It may seem counterintuitive that one of the patent judges laboring under such a massive docket is being given an additional docket load, but recall also that as I posted last month, Judge Schroeder and Judge Gilstrap recently did away with the letter briefing requirement that many of the district's patent judges had used for several years to help manage to heavy patent docket - one of the more or less emergency procedures that had been put in place to help with the influx of patent filings. As I suggested a few weeks ago, it is possible - even likely - that these changes reflect what yet another writerwere invalid. Of those twelve, juries found for the plaintiff six times and the defendant six times, for a win rate at trial of 50%.
However, postverdict two and a half of those verdicts for plaintiffs were later set aside by judges.
In the first, the court found the patent invalid under Section 101, so the result was flipped from a plaintiff win to a defense win.
In the second, the court set aside the verdict and two new trials - one on damages only (since the Federal Circuit had affirmed the infringement verdict) and a second on infringement and damages.
In the third the court upheld the jury's infringement/not invalid verdict, but set a new trial on damages.
This drops the win rate to four for plaintiffs and seven for defendants, with

for stripped screws intended for use in human bone (probably not involving a giant pair of pliers, but you never know). Judge Craven found that the Middle District of Florida was clearly more convenient, noting that the factor of cost of attendance for willing witnesses weighed heavily in favor of transfer.
I am remiss for not posting that as of yesterday, the Eastern District has a new corporate citizen - the Dallas Cowboys, who as you may be able to tell, my family is somewhat partial to.
Yesterday the Cowboys cut the ribbon on their new $1.5 billion-ish world headquarters known as The Star in Frisco, Texas, moving from their prior headquarters in the Northern District of Texas. The club started with offices and stadium in Dallas in 1960, thenmoved both stadium (1971) and later offices (1985) west to Irving, then even further west to their current stadium in Arlington (2009) before deciding to head if not exactly behind the Pine Curtain at least in that direction this year for a new headquarters.
The facility includes a 12,000 seat enclosed stadium known as the Ford Center that will be used by all eight Frisco high schools on Thursday and Friday nights. Actually all eight will be playing each other this weekend, including Saturday to kick off their use of the new stadium. (No clue how they'll determine who the home team is). It will be the second-largest high school stadium in Collin County, behind Allen (18,000 seats), which is just down the tollway, although the Toyota Center, which

also hosts Frisco high school games but built primarily for soccer, does hold 20,500. The new stadium under construction in McKinney, just a tad further down the tollway is set to hold 12,000 as well.
The facility is located in Collin County a few miles north of the federal courthouse in Plano. You can drive by and see it while at this year's bench/bar in Plano in October - the hotel is even closer than the courthouse is. I don't believe it is open for tours yet, but I understand it will be at some point.
A Tyler jury in Judge Rodney Gilstrap's court returned a noninfringement verdict in favor of defendant Friday afternoon in a case involving expandable interveterbral implants (I didn't check to see if Dr. Octavius wasthe inventor or just another piece of prior art). There were three claims across two patents.
The case has a few interesting pretrial rulings by Magistrate Judge Mitchell which were subsequently adopted by Judge Gilstrap, including a grant of summary judgment as to the plaintiff's doctrine of equivalents claims on one of the patents, with a denial on the other, as well as the grant of a motion to exclude the plaintiff's damages expert's reliance on a prior settlement agreement and after that was excluded, on the jury verdict in the same litigation.

order was in late 2014 just before the two most recent district judges came on board, providing the district with a full complement of eight district judges. That lasted three months before the district lost one judge to senior status, then two months later another to retirement, and then at the beginning of this year to senior status about to mature into retirement, leaving the district with five active judges and two senior status accepting new cases - and three judicial vacancies of the eight judgeships assigned to the district.
For patent practitioners, the most notable effect of that 2014 assignment was that Judge Gilstrap and Judge Schroeder shared the Marshall, Texarkana and Tyler patent dockets, with Judge Gilstrap having 80/20/30 and Judge Schroeder having 20/80/70, respectively.
Last week ChiefJudge Clark issued a new case assignment general order which reflected the most recent senior status change in Tyler, where Judge Schneider's departure from active duty means that for the first time since at least 1947 (with the exception of the brief vacancy in 1968 after Judge Sheehy passed and was replaced by Judge Justice) Tyler has no active federal district judge. Tyler's patent cases were already being covered by the judges from Marshall and Texarkana - the change is that Judge Schroeder will also plug the hole in the civil docket, and Chief Judge Clark will plug the hole in the criminal docket.
Presumably the downtick in new patent filings as well as dropping his share of the Marshall docket from 20% to 5% gives Judge Schroeder the

Taylor, meanwhile, will be deposed by House Democrats over text messages which showed him suggesting that President Trump was using his office to pressure Ukraine into investigating Biden. Taylor's attorney, John Bellinger, "served at the National Security Council and as the State Department’s lead lawyer under President George W.

The barista whose workplace is closest to the makeshift floral memorial to the Bourke Street rampage says he's relieved at the decision to dismantle it.
Jordan Briggs, whose coffee booth on the GPO verandah overlooks the carpet of toys, flowers and cards, said he felt "emotionally overwhelmed" 10 days after the tragedy, and removing the shrine would help him move on.
The 21-year-old has been a shoulder for distressed mourners to cry on, he's listened to angry vows to kill and maim the perpetrator. Tourists ask "what's going on"? so he'll tell them, once again, how just metres away, a car mowed down dozens of people, killing five.

William Peter Blatty, the author of "The Exorcist," has died. He was 89.
Blatty's widow, Julie, said her husband died Thursday at a hospital in Bethesda, Maryland. She said the cause of death was multiple myeloma, a form of blood cancer.

Blatty was a former Jesuit school valedictorian who conjured a tale of demonic possession and gave millions the fright of their lives with the best-selling novel and Oscar-winning movie.
Blatty's story of a 12-year-old-girl inhabited by a satanic force was published in 1971 and

The Cabinet will this week sign off on a dramatic plan to remove all of Ireland's oil reserves from the UK as the Government ramps ups its contingency plans for Brexit.
The move will see tankers filled with Irish oil transferred from British refineries and brought back to Ireland or to other EU member states.
Ireland stores almost 200,000 tonnes of oil in the UK but for national security reasons, this will now be removed ahead of Britain leaving the EU.
"We pay for storage there so that will have serious implications for UK refineries who have stored our oil for almost two decades," a senior Government source said.
Exporting Ireland's oil reserves from Britain is one of the most significant Brexit-related decisions which the Government has taken to date.
Tanaiste and ForeignAffairs Minister Simon Coveney will present detailed Brexit contingency plans to his Cabinet colleagues when they meet in Derrynane House in Co Kerry on Wednesday.
Mr Coveney will set out the need to hire hundreds of new customs and veterinarian staff to police airports and ports if an exit deal cannot be reached between the EU and the UK.
He will also highlight the need for major investment in customs infrastructure in the case of a 'no-deal' Brexit. The Cabinet is also expected to discuss the budget implications of Britain crashing out of the EU in March.
However, the main decision taken at the meeting will be on removing Ireland's oil reserves from the UK.
Under EU laws, every member state is obliged to have 90 days of oil reserves in case

"I'd do these two minute bits," he said. "But it just clicked."
Fisher eventually became aware of Smith's comedy bit. A radio morning show in London, Ontario, arranged for the two to meet on the air.
Smith said they were supposed to go on the air at 9 a.m., but after a couple of minutes, Fisher still hadn't called in. They waited, and then went to a commercial break while the radio show host phoned Fisher.
"And he got him!" Smith exclaimed.
Smith said the host asked Fisher, "Hey, aren't you supposed to be on the radio?"
Fisher replied, "Yeah, but I've been on the road and really needed to do my laundry."
Smith laughed and said Fisher was an original.

and economic crisis -- the effects of these issues on everyone's life outlook seem to have far outweighed any political bonus Democrats might have otherwise experienced at the time.
The two groups began to diverge again in February of this year. Democrats started to become much more optimistic, while Republicans got more pessimistic. Why this happened at the end of Obama's first term and amid a heated presidential election season is unclear. It could be that Democrats felt more hopeful about their candidate than Republicans did about GOP nominee Mitt Romney. Gallup found in three separate polls conducted in May, August, and October that Democrats were more likely to think Obama would win in November than Republicans were to think Romney would win.

has signed a nuclear deal with India that former President Jimmy Carter has described
as 'dangerous' on the one hand and the United Nations Security Council has given
Iran only 30 days to halt uranium enrichment on the other. As the region is poised
for strategic nuclear imbalance and Iran is accused of building atomic weapons, thoughts
naturally go to the foot prints of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto on the country's nuclear program.
Bhutto was the real architect of Pakistan's nuclear program. In this respect his
role may be likened to that of Nehru in India. Idealist Nehru was driven by a dream;
to wipe off centuries of past humiliation and had grasped the significance of atomic
energy for this purpose. Soon after independence he set

up the Indian Atomic Energy
Commission, placed it under his charge and presided over its first meeting that was
convened within a week of independence.
Bhutto also had a dream and understood the role of atomic energy but could translate
his dream into reality only after 1970 when he had acquired real political power.
But even before that and as Minister of Minerals and Natural Resources, Bhutto laid
the foundation stone of PINSTECH in Islamabad in 1963. The plaque was removed during
his political winter after 1967. Much later it was recovered from junk in the basement
of the building and reinstalled in 1985, as it was impossible to erase his memory.
As a minister Bhutto also tried to persuade President General Ayub Khan to acquire
advanced nuclear technologies. In December 1965 Ayub was on an official visitto
the UK. Bhutto planned a meeting of some nuclear experts with him and persuaded Ayub
Khan to meet late Munir Ahmed Khan former Chairman of the PAEC who at the time was
working in the IAEA.
Late Munir Khan had recalled that when he was told that these technologies could
eventually place in the hands of Pakistan a nuclear option, the General simply smiled
and said that if needed, Pakistan could get it from China.
Munir Khan had also recalled that Bhutto was pacing up and down in the lobby waiting
as he was meeting Ayub. When Munir came out Bhutto asked him what had happened. "The
President did not agree" Munir told him. "Do not worry -- our turn will come", Bhutto
had said, according to Munir Khan.
Bhutto has been associated with the nuclear programme from

1958 as minister to 1979
when he was sent to the gallows.
"When I took charge of Pakistan's Atomic Energy Commission, it was no more than a
sign board of an office. It was only in name. Assiduously and with granite determination,
I put my entire vitality behind the task of acquiring nuclear capability for my country",
recalls Bhutto in his book If I am Assassinated.
Bhutto commissioned Edward Stone for designing PINSTECH the foundation stone of which
was also laid by him. He negotiated the agreement for the 5-WM research reactor at
PINSTECH. Bhutto himself has recalled that in the face of stiff opposition from Finance
Minister Shoaib and the Deputy Chairman Planning Commission he negotiated with success
the 137 MM KANUPP plant from Canada and performed its opening ceremony on November
28, 1972. In 1976 he approvedthe setting up of the Chashma nuclear power plant and
also negotiated and concluded the nuclear reprocessing plant agreement with France.
Bhutto approved the construction of a research laboratory for uranium enrichment
near Chaklala airport. And when the PAEC selected the Kahuta site for the uranium
enrichment plant in early 1976, Bhutto promptly approved it and ordered immediate
construction of civil works.
In August 1976, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger met Bhutto at Governor
House Lahore to dissuade him from the reprocessing plant deal with France. Kissinger
said that it was offensive to US intelligence when Bhutto insisted that Pakistan
needed the reprocessing plant for its energy needs; but Bhutto demanded that the
US should also not insist that Pakistan give up the reprocessing plant.
After Bhutto's ouster, no one heard of the reprocessing plant until General Zia

People v. Scott
(2013) 216 Cal.App.4th 848 (review granted Jul. 24, 2013, S211670), that the provisions
of the Criminal Justice Realignment Act of 2011 (Realignment Act) are applicable to
those defendants whose sentence was imposed prior to October 1, 2011, the effective date
of the Act, but whose sentence was executed after that date upon revocation of probation.
Here, defendant’s sentence was imposed on April 12, 2011, prior to the effective date of
the Realignment Act. However, sentence was not executed until November 3, 2011, after
the effective date of the Realignment Act. Under the reasons set forth in Scott, I would
affirm the judgment of the trial court ordering defendant serve his sentence in county jail.
Shunt systems for transport of body fluids from one region of the body to another region are generally known. For example, shunt systems are often used in the treatment of hydrocephalus to drain excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the ventricles of the brain. A typical shunt system includes a one-directional, pressure-controlled valve that is implanted beneath the skin. A ventricular catheter extends from one side of the valve to the ventricle. A drain catheter extends from the other side of the valve to a drain site, such as the abdominal cavity.
After implantation and use over extended time periods, shunt systems tend to become clogged in certain individuals. Clogging can occur due to foreign materials which collect in the narrow tubular passageways of the shunt system and in the

Federal Judge Orders Teachers To Apologize To Agnostic Texas Family
Related Tags:
SAN ANTONIO (AP/CBSDFW.COM) – A judge in San Antonio has ordered two educators to apologize to an agnostic family in a lingering school prayer dispute.
Chief U.S. District Judge Fred Biery on Monday ordered Medina Valley Independent School District Superintendent James Stansberry and band director Keith Riley to apologize. The judge declined to hold them in contempt.
The San Antonio Express-News reports the men allegedly made public comments critical of the family of ex-student Corwyn Schultz after a February settlement. The family, of Castroville, had sued but failed to stop prayers at last June’s graduation ceremony.
The district agreed school employees would not pray with students or elicit prayer in class, plus not disparage the Schultz family.

When Lou Lamoriello was hired to run the operation and soon after hired Barry Trotz to take over behind the bench, No. 91 was prepared to forfeit a shot at free agency that was just over a week away, an individual close to Tavares told The Post.
Blind loyalty? Maybe. But Tavares had eyes for the new regime. After years of quirky ownership/front-office behavior and tyros behind the bench, Lamoriello and Trotz came with the kind of quirks reflecting off the diamonds in their four combined Stanley Cup rings.

Mike Tyson: Rape and the Boxing Ring
by Joyce Carol Oates
Originally published in Newsweek, February 24, 1992.
Mike Tyson's conviction on rape charges in Indianapolis is a minor tragedy for the beleaguered sport of boxing, but a considerable triumph for women's rights. For once, though bookmakers were giving 5-1 odds that Tyson would be acquitted, and the mood of the country seems distinctly conservative, a jury resisted the outrageous defense that a rape victim is to be blamed for her own predicament. For once, a celebrity with enormous financial resources did not escape trial and a criminal conviction by settling with his accuser out of court.
That boxing and "women's rights" should be perceived as opposed is symbolically appropriate, since of all sports, boxing is the most aggressively masculine, the verysoul of war in microcosm. Elemental and dramatically concise, it raises to an art the passions underlying direct human aggression; its fundamentally murderous intent is not obscured by the pursuit of balls or pucks, nor can the participants expect help from teammates. In a civilized, humanitarian society, one would expect such a blood sport to have died out, yet boxing, sponsored by gambling casinos in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, and broadcast by cable television, flourishes: had the current heavyweight champion, Evander Holyfield, fought Mike Tyson in a title defense, Holyfield would have earned no less than $30 million. If Tyson were still champion, and still fighting, he would be earning more.
The paradox of boxing is that it so excessively rewards men for inflicting injury upon one another

Henry Armstrong and Sugar Ray Robinson. He was always aware of a lineage with Jack Dempsey, arguably the most electrifying of all heavyweight champions, whose nonstop aggression revolutionized the sport and whose shaved haircut and malevolent scowl, and, indeed, penchant for dirty fighting, made a tremendous impression on the young Tyson.
In recent years, however, Tyson seems to have styled himself at least partly on the model of Charles (Sonny) Liston, the "baddest of the bad" black heavyweights. Liston had numerous arrests to his credit and served time in prison (for assaulting a policeman); he had the air, not entirely contrived, of a sociopath; he was always friendly with racketeers, and died of a drug overdose that may in fact have been murder. (It is not coincidental that DonKing, whom Tyson has much admired, and who Tyson has empowered to ruin his career, was convicted of manslaughter and served time in an Ohio prison.) Like Liston, Tyson has grown to take a cynical pleasure in publicly condoned sadism (his "revenge" bout with Tyrell Biggs, whom he carried for seven long rounds in order to inflict maximum damage) and in playing the outlaw; his contempt for women, escalating in recent years, is a part of that guise. The witty obscenity of a prefight taunt of Tyson's—"I'll make you into my girlfriend"—is the boast of the rapist.
Perhaps rape itself is a gesture, a violent repudiation of the female, in the assertion of maleness that would seem to require nothing beyond physical gratification of the crudest kind. The supreme

macho gesture—like knocking out an opponent and standing over his fallen body, gloves raised in triumph.
In boxing circles it is said—this, with an affectionate sort of humor—that the heavyweight champion is the 300-pound gorilla who sits anywhere in the room he wants; and, presumably, takes any female he wants. Such a grandiose sense of entitlement, fueled by the insecurities and emotions of adolescence, can have disastrous consequences. Where once it was believed that Mike Tyson might mature into the greatest heavyweight of all time, breaking Rocky Marciano's record of 49 victories and no defeats, it was generally acknowledged that, since his defeat of Michael Spinks in 1988, he had allowed his boxing skills to deteriorate. Not simply his ignominious loss of his title to the mediocre James (Buster)rapist, and not his victim; that sympathy, pity, even in some quarters moral outrage flow to the criminal and not the person he has violated. In this case, ironically, the victim, Desiree Washington, though she will surely bear psychic scars through her life, has emerged as a victor, a heroine: a young woman whose traumatic experience has been, as so few traumas can be, the vehicle for a courageous and selfless stand against the sexual abuse of women and children in America. She seems to know that herself, telling People magazine, "It was the right thing to do." She was fortunate in drawing a jury who rejected classic defense ploys by blaming the victim and/or arguing consent. Our criminal-justice system being what it is, she was lucky. Tyson,

by assessing and collecting them and then disbursing the revenue to the
various cities, special districts, schools, and other entities within the county. Some
of the revenue, however, must be allocated to each county‟s Educational Revenue
Augmentation Fund (sometimes referred to as ERAF) — a state-created fund that
reallocates portions of local property tax revenue to fulfill the state‟s constitutional
obligation to fund education at specified levels. In order to cover county costs in
administering the property tax system, a county is statutorily authorized to impose
a property tax administration fee on each city or other entity within its borders.
The property tax administration fee is based on an apportionment of the amount of
property tax revenue allocated to the city or other entity. But any revenues
allocated from these cities and entities to the county‟s ERAF arestill applied under the 2004 legislation and that Revenue and Taxation
Code section 97.75, enacted as part of the 2004 legislation, prohibited County‟s
method of calculating the property tax administration fee. We agree with Cities‟
position, and we affirm the judgment of the Court of Appeal, which reached the
same conclusion.
I. PROCEDURAL HISTORY

auditor-controller to reimburse Cities for the amount
disputed in fiscal year 2006-2007. The parties agreed to try the matter by
reference under Code of Civil Procedure section 638 and stipulated to most of the
relevant facts. Following a trial, the referee ruled in mid-2009 that County‟s
method of calculating the disputed fee was consistent with legislative intent and
did not violate Revenue and Taxation Code section 97.75.2 Cities appealed, and
the Court of Appeal reversed, relying almost exclusively on the plain meaning of
section 97.75 to conclude that County‟s method of calculation was unlawful. We
granted County‟s petition for review.3

That was a fair summary; but, because Stratfor derives some of its income from the CIA, it stated as being facts, instead of as being lies, that “Sergei Magnitsky [was] a whistleblower who investigated Kremlin abuses and a tax-fraud scheme,” even though Magnitsky actually was never a “whistleblower,” and he was, to the exact contrary, assisting an American hedge-fund operator to illegally avoid $230 million in taxes that were due to the Russian Government andthey did much more than “stick their tongue” at an official White House portrait.

How to retrieve the most recent Active Record objects per column combination?
I have a model called Event which belongs to Area and Task. I'm attempting to retrieve a collection of events that only contains the most recent event per area and task combination. That is, I only want the most recent event of the events that have the same area_id and task_id. Example collection of events:

Pursuant to that 1990 agreement, plaintiffs brought the boat to Ocean City, Maryland, in September of 1990, where it was picked up by Harley and transported to Florida for the work to be done. Upon completion of the repairs, and the installation of a new battery charger,[1] John Carey retrieved the boat in Florida in 1991 and returned it to Delaware. Upon his return, plaintiffs assert that, on June 15, 1991, he suffered severe injuries while testing the boat's new generator near his Dover, Delaware, home, resulting from an electrical discharge caused, in whole or in part, by the battery charger. That charger was marketed under the name "Dytek."

(formerly known as Dytek Laboratories, Inc.) ("Dytek"), and Charles Industries, Ltd,[2] alleging negligence, strict liability, and breaches of warranties. On or about February 24, 1993, Harley filed a third-party complaint seeking contribution and indemnity from AAI, who Harley claimed was the designer and manufacturer of the Dytek battery charger allegedly responsible for the accident. Plaintiffs subsequently amended their complaint to include AAI as a direct defendant. This Court possesses subject-matter jurisdiction by virtue of 28 U.S.C. § 1332 as a result of diversity of citizenship among the parties. AAI is a New York Corporation with its principal office and place of business in New York and seemingly is "owned" in some manner by British Tire and Rubber Co., a British corporation.[3]
AAI, at the time independently "owned," acquired Dyteksuch representatives, in and of themselves, do not sufficice for purposes of general jurisdiction.
The revenues obtained by Dytek and by AAI from their dealings in Maryland also appear insufficient themselves to confer jurisdiction upon AAI. While the figures provided by AAI for 1988-1991 at times constitute quite substantial actual amounts, they represent a rather small percentage of AAI's total revenue. With regard to Dytek's revenues during the period in which it was owned by AAI, this Court has only Rauft's testimony upon which to rely. Rauft's estimate of "less than ten percent" of Dytek's revenue as attributable to Maryland, a figure which he later characterized as "on the high side," falls short of itself establishing this Court's jurisdiction over AAI.

traded debt securities, and money market instruments. "Debt securities," as defined in its prospectuses, included an unspecified mix of long-term, short-term, and convertible debt. Equitable also repeatedly disclosed in its prospectuses and annual reports that the "mix" of securities in the Balanced Fund was determined by the portfolio manager and involved an actively managed and constantly changing blend of investments.2

In its 1985, 1986, and 1987 prospectuses, Equitable included a chart entitled "Investment Option Characteristics." In 1987, the chart disclosed that the "objective" for the Balanced Fund was a "[c]ompetitive return through a growth of capital and current income." The 1987 chart also listed the objectives of the other options and cautioned that "[t]here is no assurance that any of theinvestment objectives of the Funds will be achieved."

The 1985 and 1986 charts described the risk to principal of the Balanced Fund in the same manner as the risk to principal of the Growth Equity Fund. Those same charts described the volatility of the Balanced Fund as the "[l]owest of the three [equity] funds." In the 1987 prospectus, the risk to principal of the Balanced Fund was described as "[s]omewhat lower than [the] Growth Equity Fund" and Equitable described the Balanced Fund's volatility with the following phrase: "[g]enerally lower than pure equity funds, but degree may vary depending on market conditions." The 1987 disclosures about the other two equity funds generally spoke of higher risk and volatility.

The California HIV/AIDS Research Program: History, Impact, and HIV Cure Initiative.
This Special Issue of AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses features results from the HIV Cure Initiative, funded by the California HIV/AIDS Research Program (CHRP). As a publicly funded grant maker, CHRP has served for more than three decades as a unique resource for innovative researchers in California, whose work seeks to address all aspects of the HIV epidemic and the communities affected by it. Early initiatives at CHRP pioneered what would become enduring cornerstones of HIV science: isolation of the virus; efficacy and toxicities of the first HIV treatments; the emergence of drug resistance; the first biospecimen banks for HIV-related research; the first community-based laboratory service for HIV diagnostic serology; and the first longitudinal case-control study of progressionPolicies, Social Inclusion and Transports.
In February 2019 Giuliano Morelli, whose political program featured the formation of a joint autonomist party, was elected as UVP's new president. Consistently with the line traced by Morelli, two months later the UVP formed a joint group with ALPE named "Valdostan Alliance".

The freedom of the six Bulgarian medics formerly jailed in Libya over the notorious Libyan HIV Trial has been granted in exchange for a nuclear power plant deal between French President Nicolas Sarcozy and Libyan strongman Muammar Gaddafi, a report says.
The deal was sealed in 2007, French magazine Les Inrocks states, citing secret documents it has allegedly obtained. The magazine has promised to reveal more details in its print edition on Wednesday.
Deputy Minister Ivo Marinov has argued that moving the Tourism Unit of the Ministry of Economy, Energy and Tourism to Plovdiv will boost specialized forms of tourism which are already well developed in the southern Bulgarian city.
Marinov told journalists Monday that the planned move matched the policy of developing and presenting Bulgaria as atourist destination with an emphasis on cultural tourism.
During a visit to Plovdiv on Sunday,Prime Minister Boyko Borisov announced that the administration handling tourism and some institutions in charge of agriculture and railway transport would be moved to Plovdiv.
The International Labor Organization (ILO) has warned about a global unemployment rate of 202 million people in 2012.
The projected unemployment rate for 2012 constitutes an increase of 6 million people from 2011, according to the ILO’s World of Work Report 2012.
“Our preliminary figures for 2011 point to a total of 196 million of unemployed, with an increase of 6 million to 202 million in 2012, and an increase of 5 million to 207 million in 2013,” said Raymond Torres, Director of the ILO’s Institute for International Labor Studies, at a press

Synopsis
THOMAS OF AQUINO (or Aquinas), the
profoundest and keenest defender of the doctrines of the Roman-Catholic Church;
was b. in 1225 or 1227, in the castle of Rocca Sicca, near Aquino, a city not
far from Naples; d. March 6, 1274, in the Cistercian convent of Fossa Nuova,
near Terracina. I. Life. - Thomas, who was of noble birth, was placed in his
fifth year under the monks of Monte Casino. In his tenth year he went to
Naples; and in his sixteenth year, in spite of the opposition of his family,
which was finally overcome by the intervention of Pope Innocent IV., he entered
the Dominican order. In 1245 he was sent to
Cologne to enjoy the instruction of Albertus Magnus, who directed his attention
to Aristotles philosophy and the
writings of Dionysius the Areopagite. In 1248 hewas made baccalaureate of
theology in Paris, and the same year began to lecture on the Sentences of Peter Lombard, at Cologne. Returning to
Paris, he taught there a large throng of students. Urban IV. repeatedly offered
him high ecclesiastical preferment, which he in his humility declined. Under
the pontificate of Clement IV. and till 1268, he taught in Rome, Bologna, and
Paris. In 1272, in obedience to his order and the wish of King Charles, he made
Naples the seat of his activity. The last years of his life were principally
occupied with the completion of his great work, Summa theologicæ.
He died on his way to the church council at Lyons.
In 1323 he was canonized by John XXII. If any one is entitled to this dignity
by his life and works, Aquinas was. His piety,

though monkish, was unfeigned;
and he prepared himself for his writings, lectures, etc., by prayer. Louis IX.
several times consulted him on matters of state. his industry, as his writings
show, was intense. [Aquinas was declared a doctor of the church by Pius V. in
1567, and has a place with Augustine, Jerome, and Ambrose, among the most
authoritative teachers of the church. Leo XIII., in an encyclical dated Aug. 4,
1879, recommended his works to the Catholic seminaries and theological
faculties throughout the world, as a proper foundation of their religious and
philosophical teaching, and particularly emphasized his political doctrines as
conservative for society. The special title of this great theologian is the
"Angelic Doctor," Doctor Angelicus.]
II. Theology. - In certain respects, Thomas
of Aquino marks the culminating point of scholasticism. He sought to establish
for the science ofetc.
(Summa, 1. qu. 1, art. 10), but could not free himself from
ecclesiastical authority. Thomas did not grant the ontological argument of Anselm for the existence of God. He gives several
forms of the cosmological and teleological arguments, but says, that, while
reason can prove that God exists, it cannot discover what his nature is. His
fundamental conception of God is that of spiritual and active being. God is
intelligence and will (intellectus et voluntas), the first cause.
Thinking and willing are inseparable from his being. He is consequently forever
returning to the idea of the absolute identity and simplicity of God. He
employs all his speculative talent to explain the doctrine of the Trinity; and
yet he declares that it is beyond the sphere of reason to discover the
distinction of persons in the Godhead, and affirms

he so chooses (Summa, iii. qu. 46, arts.
1, 2). The satisfaction of Christ removes all orignal guilt; and, by the
application of his merit, the sinner secures freedom from and forgiveness of
sin. Mans nature is corrupt, and grace alone enables him to reach eternal
life. Thomas passes directly from the consideration of the work of Christ to
the sacraments. The number of the sacraments had
already been fixed at seven, but his treatment had a shaping influence upon the
discussion of the subject in after-time. He
proved the necessity of seven sacraments, and the immanence in them of a
supernatural element of grace. His treatment of the Eucharist, penance, and ordination, is
characteristic. He held to the change of the elements to the body and blood of
Christ, justified the withholding of the cup from the laitywith casuistical
arguments, and spoke of the sacrifice of the mass, now as a "symbolical picture
of the passion" (image representativa passionis), now as a real
sacrifice. It is noticeable, that, in his doctrine of the mass, he does not
emphasize, as do his successors, the idea of sacrifice to the detriment of the
sacramental idea. The subject of indulgences, Thomas handled at length;
teaching that the efficacy of an indulgence does not depend upon the faith of
the recipient, but upon the will and authority of the church, and extends to
the dead as well as to the living (Summa, iii. qu. 71, art. 10). The
discussion of eschatology follows the
discussion of the sacraments. Thomas teaches the doctrines of purgatory and the intercession of saints, he
treats the doctrines of the resurrection and future. blessedness at length,

and
teaches that the body of the resurrection will in form be identical with the
present body, even to the hair and the nails.
Thomas was not less great as a teacher of
ethics than as a theologian. Neander has said, that, next to that of Aristotle,
his is the most important name in the history of ethics (Wissensch.
Abhandlungen, ed. Jacobi, p. 46). But both as a moralist and a theologian
he was a true son of the church. His system is, as Baur says, only an echo of
the doctrinal teaching of the church. In the spirit of the day he discussed
many idle and useless questions with casuistical minuteness and far.fetched
argumentation. But he was in this respect more moderate than his
coritemporaries. On the other hand, he discussed many important subjects with a
depth and clearnessof insight which make his views permanently interesting and
valuable.
After the death of Aquinas, a conflict went
on over his theology; Duns Scotus being the leader of
the other school. The Dominicans were ranged
on the side of Aquinas, whose followers were called Thomists; and the Franciscans on the side of Duns Scotus, whose
followers were known as Scotists. The difference between the teachers was not
in the doctrines they taught, but in their treatment of these doctrines. With
Scotus, theology was a practical science; with Aquinas, a speculative science.
The controversy lasted down to the eighteenth century; and the Franciscan De
Rada mentions in his work, Controversiæ inter Thomam et Scotum (Cologne, 1620), no less than eighty-six points of difference between the two
schools. The most important points of controversy were the Cognoscibility of
God, the distinction between
