New Delhi: After a prolonged period of decline, global hunger (measured by the number of undernourished people) is on the rise again, posing a challenge to international goals of eradicating hunger by 2030, said a United Nations report published on Friday.
According to the State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2017 report, the number of undernourished people in the world increased to an estimated 815 million in 2016, up from 777 million in 2015. Data from the report showed that India is home to 190.7 million of them—a 14.5% prevalence of hunger vis-a-vis its total population.
The data further showed that 38.4% of children under five in India are stunted, while 51.4% of women in reproductive ages are anemic. The report defines stunting as the result oflong-term nutritional deprivation which may affect mental development, school performance and intellectual capacity.
Prevalence of child stunting in India at 38.4% compares with 14.7% in Sri Lanka and 9.4% in China. Data from the report also showed that while the number of children in India who are stunted fell from 62 million in 2005 to 47.5 million in 2016, the number of adults who are overweight rose from 14.6 million in 2015 to 29.8 million in 2014.
Globally, the prevalence of undernourishment (as a percentage of population) remains the highest in sub-Saharan Africa and needs urgent attention in eastern Africa, the report said. It added that owing to a large population the highest number of undernourished live in Asia, followed by 243 million in Africa and 42 million in Latin

words inscribed above the entrance to the Supreme Court, “equal justice under law.”
Dr. King was a very remarkable figure, perhaps most of all because he was an ordinary man – a husband and a father – who made very extraordinary choices in the face of adversity. As a result, his legacy of respect, fairness and equality – for all – forever changed the very fabric of this nation. His voice – his personality – his actions – forced our nation to reflect upon our most fundamental ideals and principles.
It has been more than 50 years since Dr. King’s death in 1968, but the nation whose consciousness he became, the fundamental rights he fought for, the hopes he expressed, and the dream he had – for all people –the market forces to align with fuel reduction," Patil says. If they don't align, then technology improvements will go where the customer wants to go.
Cheap fuel, same rules
This explains the lack of fuel economy improvements in the past 20 years. Fuel remained cheap and regulations didn't tighten. Consumers chose vehicles that were faster and more capable, but not more economical.
The challenges of fuel economy and greenhouse-gas emissions are made all the more difficult by the growth of developing markets.
Patil is from India and returns every year to see his parents. In December he took his wife and two grown sons for the first time in some years.
"A remarkable thing I saw this time was my family," he says. "They said, 'Oh, all of the cars are new!' Most

Before Friday, the whale, whose movements and identifying marks are recorded in a right whale database maintained by the North Atlantic Right Whale Consortium, was last seen in Cape Cod Bay in March. The network of disentanglement teams along the East Coast will keep an eye out for the whale and monitor it for any signs of improvement or decline.

These textile strips may be mated to form a recyclable closure; one of the mates being a strip of textile fabric having numerous monofilament elements, shaped like hooks, projecting from one surface and the other mate being a textile strip with multifilamented elements woven into loop shaped projections on one surface. When the mating surfaces of these strips are pressed together, numerous hook shaped elements on one strip snare loop elements on the opposing strip and create a temporary, reusable bond. As

Below are the top five countries from its influential 2012 ranking.
Hong Kong
Hong Kong achieved the top ranking in 2012 with a score of 89.9, out of a possible total of 100. The four main categories cover rule of law, how limited government's role in business is, regulatory efficiency and the extent to which the economy embraces an open market. The study specifically cites Hong Kong's strong legal framework, especially

its property rights and general support for the rule of law. It also commended Hong Kong for its low tolerance for corruption to support its regulatory efficiency. The study noted several steps in the wrong direction since 2010, such as implementing a minimum wage, which counts against being an open market and more toward inefficient regulation, but the dings have not been enough to unseat Hong Kong as the world's most economically-free country (or to be more precise, Special Administrative Region).<br/>Singapore
Singapore attained a total score of 87.5, placing it second, just behind Hong Kong. As will become evident among the top countries and was also noted in Hong Kong, Singapore stands out from the rest of the world for its strong property rights and fighting against corruption. Thestudy also cited Singapore's efficient government, which keeps costs low as well as low taxes for the companies residing inside its borders. The country encourages open trade and also ranks highly in terms of offering investment and financial freedom. The government is highly involved in "guiding economic development," which could be considered excessive regulation but appears to only encourage a free market economy at this point in time.
Australia
Australia accrued a total 2012 score of 83.1, landing in third place on the esteemed annual ranking. The key strengths of strong property rights, high freedom from corruption, low government spending and high levels of business, labor and monetary freedom all apply to Australia. More specific factors cited include an independent judiciary and low government debt levels. This last factor stands

Boro linked with Sunderland goalkeeper
Middlesbrough FC have been linked with the 31-year-old Sunderland goalkeeper.
Boro are considering a move for Sunderland goalkeeper Jon McLaughlin, amid speculation that Stoke City are keen on securing the services of Darren Randolph.
According to Teamtalk, Boro have identified the 31-year-old Sunderland goalkeeper as a suitable replacement for Randolph, who was voted the Championship Goalkeeper of the Year last season, along with being named in the Championship Team of the Year.
Jon McLaughlin was named Sunderland's Player of the Year last season as they missed out on promotion back to the Championship at the first attempt, having lost the League One play-off final to Charlton Athletic.
Boro are joined by Championship rivals Millwall, who are also looking to sign McLaughlin. According to the Sun on Sunday, MillwallCharbonnet keeps up attacks against Bagneris, who fires back | State Politics
Charbonnet keeps up attacks against Bagneris, who fires back | State Politics
Desiree Charbonnet isn’t giving up on a line of attack she first used against Michael Bagneris at the WWL-TV debate Wednesday night.
The spat between the two former judges began when Charbonnet suggested Bagneris might have baggage that kept him from getting appointed to the federal bench after he was vetted for that job by President Barack Obama’s administration.
Bagneris denied that claim, saying he was passed over because Obama wanted to appoint the first female black judge, Nannette Jolivette Brown, to the New Orleans federal court.
Tensions in the New Orleans mayor’s race heated up Wednesday night, as the top three candida…

with a new release suggesting other factors may have been at play, some of which were aired during Bagneris’ unsuccessful 2014 run for mayor against Mitch Landrieu.
The release noted the IRS had filed a lien against Bagneris for failing to pay $100,000 in taxes in the 1980s and 1990s, something Bagneris has said was due to the need to pay medical bills for his daughter, who was born with a hole in her heart.
The Charbonnet campaign also brought up questions, dating back to his time as a judge, about his use of campaign funds to pay for his personal car, and it questioned his travel expenses and his improper participation, along with the other judges on the Civil District Court bench, in a taxpayer-funded supplemental life and healthforced the woman into the back seat at gun point, where she was raped and compelled to take part in involuntary deviate sexual intercourse.
Post-verdict motions were denied, and appellant was sentenced to two concurrent ten-to-twenty year prison sentences and two concurrent two-and-one-half to five year prison sentences, with the sentences to run consecutively to a Montgomery County probation violation sentence which appellant was then serving, and consecutively to a sentence in a homicide case in Philadelphia County in which appellant had been found guilty, but had not yet been sentenced. (Post-verdict motions were then pending.) Appellant was thereafter sentenced in the Philadelphia case, an appeal from the Philadelphia County judgment of sentence was filed with our Court, and the judgment of sentence was affirmed.

School nurses engaged in multiphasic data collection which was contingent on physical environment, workload, and referrals.

Many people in the mob were seen holding the flag of terror organisation Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM).
As the government prepares for the challenge of ensuring peace in Kashmir on Independence Day, two news reports from international media organisations are generating a lot of heat on social media.
Several netizens have blamed that both the reports reek of bias against India and present a distorted picture of the situation on the ground in the Valley.
The first report is from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and the other from Al Jazeera. The two reports, containing "exclusive" videos, were published on August 9.
According to the reports, when the curfew was lifted last Friday for the first time since the abolition of Article 370, a mob of thousands of people protested against the Indian governmentin Srinagar. This, claim the reports, happened even as there is an unprecedented deployment of troops in the Valley and the entire area is under the complete control of security forces.
According to both these reports, police used tear gas shells and also opened fire to disperse the agitated mob who took to the streets to oppose the government's decision to abolish special status to Jammu and Kashmir.
The government on Tuesday admitted to incidents of stone pelting in the Soura area of Srinagar, but emphasised that no bullets were fired.
While an India Today investigation established that the video is from Srinagar - and not Pakistan-occupied Kashmir as many people are claiming - there are several discrepancies in these reports which raise questions about their intent.

Not only this, the crowd can be clearly heard chanting "Musa-Musa, Zakir Musa'', referring to the slain Hizbul Mujahideen commander Zakir Musa who was killed in an encounter in May this year. Both the reports chose to ignore this significant fact.
There is concrete evidence to prove that the terror organisations have been fueling unrest in the Valley. On May 10, 2019, the Islamic State (IS) announced that it has established a "province" in India.
Islamic State's official mouthpiece 'Amaq News Agency' had claimed that in its new province "Wilayat al-Hind" (IS name for India), it had inflicted casualties on Indian soldiers in Amshipora in the Shopian area of Jammu and Kashmir.
Presenting just one side of picture?
In its report, the BBC claimed to have "witnessed the policeits web page created a lot of confusion.
In one of its reports titled "Kashmir curfew eased for Eid al-Adha, queues at stores and ATMs", it put a multimedia report of people protesting in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir against the Indian government.
This anomaly was pointed out on Twitter as it gave the impression that the visuals of protests were from the Indian side of Kashmir.

his wife were quickly hired to ensure that the coeds did not get pregnant (a couple who later coauthored a sexual advice column in Glamour magazine and hosted key parties in their home), I sinned grievously and suffered accordingly, reaping consequences serious enough that by the beginning of my sophomore year, reading George Herbert in the infirmary, I was open to the grace of an intellectual conversion, a rudimentary, consequential realization that the moral law intends our good.
Subsequently, I called myself a Christian, wore a cross, and abstained from premarital sex. A few peaceful, intellectually fertile years followed. But relying too much on my private convictions—trying, in effect, to be a Christian alone—soon enough, in graduate school in California, I succumbed again to serious sin, and this timethere was no easy way back.
In the difficult years that followed, as I struggled with a baffling, debilitating illness in a marriage built on sand, I was very much the kind of person the pope has in mind in the Spadaro interview: unchurched and alienated from organized religion, wounded and proud. In a word, I was hagiophobic, frightened of churches and holy places, and especially frightened of rules I was seemingly incapable of obeying. Like many people today, I was both formally educated and woefully ignorant of spiritual realities. I had no experience at all, for example, of the Catholic Church, yet was convinced, on account of my Episcopalian upbringing, that I knew enough about her to dismiss her out of hand.

whole world of places like the place the pope describes in the interview: flexible and missionary, short on theology and long on healing. For people too ecclesially challenged even to set foot in a church building, there are ministries that set up shop in hotel ballrooms and private homes, sports venues and high school auditoriums. Many of these ministries trade in physical healing, but all of them treat wounds of rejection and marginalization, misconceptions about God (angry, punitive) and about his Son, Jesus Christ (nice but weak), the kinds of wounds that especially concern Pope Francis. As in the history of the Church, so in an individual life, healing often comes first, because it establishes a basis for trust, a foundation on which subsequent development can build.
Certainly thereVatican Council, they are joined with the Catholic Church in the Holy Spirit, and the council’s decree on ecumenism goes so far as to claim that Christian communities not yet fully united to the Church already “derive their efficacy from the fullness of grace and truth entrusted to the Catholic Church.” From the original Mother Church, in other words, graces flow to her scattered offspring, even as the grace of the Feast of Pentecost reached me on the wooden floor of an Elks’ Club in Danbury, Connecticut.
But if, according to this way of conceptualizing Christendom, the Catholic Church has field hospitals (including her own soup kitchens, homes for unwed mothers, and so on), she herself is not a field hospital. Insofar as the Church proper is a hospital

I did indeed find life, so much life that my distress over being excluded from the Eucharist melted away. Every day that fall, I came to the Church and she fed me: a great variety of remedies, drawn from seemingly inexhaustible stores. The new Catechism alone turned out to be nourishment for a lifetime (where did they get all this?), as did the sacramentals and the occasional homily, the Mass itself (unsearchable), and the graces of the feasts. Coming from the transient tents of the charismatic world, the stable omnipresence of the Church dazed me, as did her faithfulness over time. Every day on her altars around the world—strange that I grasped the significance of this so belatedly—she had been offering for centuries the saving sacrifice of JesusChrist, in a show of faithfulness and perseverance I knew from my experience of short-lived enthusiasms in charismatic Protestantism was simply unthinkable for man alone.
Every day the Eucharist was there: in the tabernacle perpetually and on the altar during Mass, silent and self-effacing but also steadily coming into focus, the longer I went without receiving. In hindsight, I would say that it was during this time of abstention that I began to see Jesus as he really was: not simply as my subjective experience of him but as someone substantially apart from myself, in all the terrifying objectivity of his holiness. God on the altar! And not man, who disappoints and makes desolate.
It wasn’t the priest, in other words, or the rules, but Christ himself in the sacrament

Trump's previous claims that Obama's birth certificate "was missing" and that Obama might not even "have a birth certificate" look completely ridiculous.
The New York Times was forced to issue two corrections after relying on Capitol Hill anonymous sourcing for its flawed report on emails from former Secretary of State and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. The Clinton debacle is the latest example of why the media should be careful when relying on leaks from partisan congressional sources -- this is far from the first time journalists who did have been burned.

Collier's claim of juror misconduct is similarly subject to dismissal under Sanders. It is noted that the previous claim of juror misconduct was based on an allegation of improper contact between a juror and the victim and her family; the second claim was based on an allegation that the juror was the victim's uncle. Nonetheless, the allegation does not present a new and different claim to escape dismissal of the petition as successive.

Collier's remaining claims also were subject to dismissal for his failure to show cause for and actual prejudice from his failure to raise them in the first petition. In the second petition, Collier sought relief based on ineffective assistance at the PFO proceedings. Collier alleged that he was denied his right to have the prosecution prove each and every element of the persistent felony offender charge because his counsel stipulated to his age and to the validity of prior offenses.

Oxytocin (OT) is a neuropeptide that has been implicated in the regulation of social cognition and social behavior both in animal models and in humans. In rodents, OT is involved in social information processing, parental nurturing, and social bonding. In humans, intranasal OT enhances interpersonal trust, eye-to-eye contact, memory of faces, and the ability to infer the emotions of others. These observations as well as genetic association studies focusing on polymorphisms of OT receptor (OTR) gene suggest that dysregulation of the OT system may contribute to the social cognitive deficits associated with several psychiatric disorders, including autism spectral disorders, schizophrenia, and depression. Despite its evident role in regulating social cognition in humans, very little is known regarding the localization of OTR in the human brain or its dysregulationThe state attorney general's office said Tuesday that Arizona's supply of a drug used in lethal injections came from England, marking the first time a state has acknowledged obtaining sodium thiopental from an overseas source since a shortage of the drug started affecting executions in the U.S. this year.
A federal judge on Monday blocked the scheduled execution of an Arizona death row inmate, saying more time was needed to consider a challenge to the use of a knockout drug from an unidentified manufacturer.
A knockout drug that Arizona plans to use in an upcoming execution was not made by the sole U.S. manufacturer, which means it likely came from another country, attorneys said during and after a state Supreme Court hearing Wednesday.

Another
MDC activist murdered
The MDC said
on Monday that another party activist, Godknows Dzoro Mtshakazi, was beaten
to death by four soldiers at Mufiri Business Centre in Shurugwi, Midlands
province on August 30th for playing an MDC song in a bar.
Mtshakazi was
drinking beer with some friends when soldiers from a nearby military base
came and started questioning them on why they were playing a popular MDC
album called Nharembozha - Cellphone. The soldiers reportedly started
beating up all the people in the bar accusing them of fanning hatred in the
community.
The MDC statement said: "A family spokesmansaid Godknows was
tortured to death by the four soldiers. He said the deceased was burnt with
plastic paper and had his dreadlocks cut and burnt. Other revellers
sustained severe injuries and had to seek medical treatment at the nearby
Shurugwi Hospital."
The 33 year old activist was buried last Friday at
Mufiri Village.
Last week the MDC announced that another MDC activist,
Joseph Munyuki died at Masvingo Hospital after he was attacked early last
month by a known Zanu PF youth. The party said he was assaulted for being an
MDC sympathizer.

the ailing schooling system, but lack of finance, teacher shortages and
political spats between teachers' unions are stalling the sector's recovery.
The country ditched its own currency, the Zimbabwe dollar, to tame
rampant hyperinflation. In a bid to revitalize public services, employees across
the board are paid a similar wage in US dollars, which was initially welcomed
but has since been derided as paltry by recipients.
The 40,000-member
Zimbabwe Teachers Association (ZIMTA), seen as having strong ties to President
Robert Mugabe's ZANU-PF party, is calling for a national strike, which some
teachers are already heeding. The union said the current US$140 salary was
inadequate and has demanded a US$500 monthly wage.

Tsvangirai's opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), is urging its

deeply uncertain of the extent of ZANU-PF's commitment to democracy, so billions
of dollars of support remain on hold.

Zimbabwe’s state controlled media was on Monday ordered to attack Deputy
Prime Minister Arthur Mutambara for his Anti- President Robert Mugabe utterances

Retreat held in Nyanga. Deputy Prime Minister Mutambara had described last
year’s Presidential Run off elections as “fraudulent, a nullity and a farce”.

Chegutu farmer Ben Freeth, after
months of intimidation and attack by land invaders, lost his home after his
farmhouse, the homes of some of his workers and a factory for thefarm produce,
were burned down in an arson attack on Sunday, which started while he was at
Church. Because land invaders have stolen all their equipment, including
tractors and irrigation pipes, the family was unable to put out the fire. They
were left alone to battle the blaze, while land invaders drove around watching.
He rescued his family’s passports and his computer. Otherwise, his family and
staff are left with the clothes on their backs.

Controversy surrounds the appointment of provincial governors from the two
MDC formations. Mugabe, Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai and his deputy Arthur
Mutambara agreed that the governors would be appointed on the basis of the March
2008 House of Assembly election results. Incumbents were expected to leave
office next Monday. However, Government sources said Zanu PF had since reneged
on the deal saying the issue of governors was not negotiable, as their
appointment is the constitutional prerogative of the President.
A meeting of the senior figures in Zimbabwe’s national unity government to
seek resolution of divisive outstanding issues, urged by South African President
Jacob Zuma during his two-day visit last week, failed to take place on Monday
because President Robert Mugabe had left the country for an African Unionof black empowerment in business, education and employment. Its
demands follow in the wake of legislation passed when the former ZANU-PF
government decided to force foreign companies to hand majority ownership to
"indigenous" Zimbabweans.
"Colonisation disenfranchised the indigenous
people and it is this legacy that we wanted to change through this law,"
argued Musarara. "Attainment of independence is not complete without
economic independence."
The "indigenisation" law, introduced more than a
year ago, was aimed at forcing 51 percent Zimbabwean ownership of
enterprises. But the law seems to have scared off investors from outside the
country, leading to what seem like a change of tack by the current coalition
government of the MDC and ZANU-PF. The laws are being
reviewed.

the politics of infiltration or elimination. Zimbabwe would have paid a dear
price if Morgan Tsvangirai had not stood firm to unify the people's party.
MDC saved Zimbabwe from total collapse even
though the trauma and scars of the Mugabe tragedy remain indelibly visible
economically, socially and politically. If Mugabe had vanished when the people
resoundingly rejected him a long time ago, Zimbabwe would never have suffered
such crises. A sustained campaign of violence powered by an everlasting supply
of recruits breathed life into the dictatorship. It's almost as if unemployment
was deliberately designed to create a reservoir of militias, both young and old.
The long suffering people still voted him out even as militias were pointing
guns to their heads.
Recently, things got very interesting when
Mutambara and Moyo, the 'nutty' professors , who both fumbled their way into
Zimbabwe'spolitics were at each other's throat. Somewhere, their godfather
Mugabe, must have been laughing. Only Mugabe can resurrect Mutambara from
current opprobrium and well-deserved withering of his ill-gotten political
fortunes.
Mutambara's ineptness does not appear to be the
only motivation for his MP's discontent. He remains a self-deluding neophyte who
exudes political incompetence and immaturity. Even the unstable Job Sikhala, in
spite of his volcanic temperament and crazy boisterousness, still scores more
political points than Mutambara. How Mutambara is handling the ongoing crisis in
his party amplifies poor leadership and political naivete. Maybe its time
Mutambara rents some thinkers who know political strategy.
By-elections are likely going to be held soon for
his three deposed MP's and in many other constituencies. But it is a fait
accompli that the seats will go to the original MDC as long as the elections

kept the full extent of what they were doing out of sight of the majority.
Nothing new in that - Hitler did the same thing 60 years ago in Germany and
the ceremonies in Poland this week brought all of those nightmares back into
perspective.
When the German genocides were being conducted, a
blanket of disinformation and secrecy kept the full extent of the nightmare
out of the public eye, the authorities knew what was going on but did not
take appropriate steps to bring the German government to book. It took
photographs of the camps in 1945 to finally bring the Holocaust to our
attention.
The same situation applied here from 1983to 1987 and it
was only after the Legal Resources Foundation and the Catholic Commission
published their report "Breaking the Silence" on the genocide that finally
we got to see and hear about the extent of the atrocities. The only
difference between these two episodes was time and
magnitude.
Nothing illustrates the need for a free press and
electronic media than these failures of governments to protect their
citizens from abuse or to bring the authorities to account, than this sort
of state abuse of power.
In the past decade as we in the MDC have
fought for freedom, justice and democracy, we have had a constant battle
against secrecy and media restrictions. The new form of communications via
the internet has helped as this is out of the control of the authorities
virtually everywhere and has empowered the individual.

In the Spring of 2018 Queensland Shakespeare Ensemble presents Shakespeare's Hamlet and Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead in 'rep' with actors playing the same role in both plays!
Prince Hamlet is having a rough time. After his father's death, he is overlooked for the crown in favour of the guy who killed his Dad and, even worse, married his Mum. Caught between cultures and philosophies, Hamlet careens between paralysis and unconsidered action. Part philosopher, part improvised explosive device, Hamlet is the anti-hero we are all afraid we might become, and secretly want to.
Inspired by Hamlet and a classic in its own right, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead sees two 'minor' characters take centre stage. Witness the comic horror as these ordinary folks vacillate between witty banter andphilosophical ponderings on the point of their existence, all while being flung in and out of the orbit of the Prince of Denmark. A tale for anyone who has ever felt out of their depth and in over their head!
The Queensland Shakespeare Ensemble is proud to partner with the Red Cross, ARAFMI Ltd, and Communify to present the A Night at the Theatre initiative. Click here to support this initiative.

were “authorized” to leave for Italy — or to leave Italy for other parts of Europe — only after their relatives made additional payments, prosecutors said. The payments were made in phases: one for the land route through Libya, a second to cover the sea crossing and a final payment if the migrants made it to destinations north, like Germany or Sweden.
“This business had a great economic value,” a prosecutor in Sicily, Maurizio Scalia, said Wednesday in a news conference.
Mr. Mered, the prosecutors said, had boasted that he had bought a house in Eritrea and could receive bank payments in and from any European country, and even in Israel.
He was recorded as saying that he had a brother in the Netherlands, and a wife and son in Sweden“Anger is often what pain looks like when it shows itself in public.”

As head football coach, Johnson filled a position of such importance that the public not only had, but exhibited, an independent interest in his qualifications and performance, transcending any interest shown in other employees of the school system.
Although Shamrock High School's enrollment of approximately 130 students was not large, Johnson acknowledged that high school football is one of the major things the people look forward to, being something in which they are keenly interested and which is extremely important to them. He also acknowledged that as a coach, he felt a lot of pressure for his teams to succeed.
Prior to acceptinghis position with the Shamrock school system, Johnson had been the head football coach at Phillips High School, and many newspaper stories were published about him and his teams, together with pictures of him and statements attributed to him. During Johnson's tenure at Shamrock, a nearby radio station broadcast the school's football games. Stories concerning him and the football program appeared in the Amarillo newspapers, in the Pampa newspaper, in the Dallas Morning News, and in the Shamrock Texan, the local newspaper which covered the program. In connection with the stories printed in the Panhandle newspapers, his comments were often quoted, sometimes at length, and pictures of him frequently appeared. Indeed, Johnson volunteered that he was as well known as anybody in the Panhandle.

During the course of last season, six Shamrock players were ejected from games. Many schools can play for 20 years and not have six players ejected.
Following that story, the Globe-News received nearly two dozen letters to the editor supporting Shamrock, the football team and Coach Johnson. All but one was written by Shamrock residentsthe other letter was written by one of Johnson's former assistantswith his football program and all was forgiven.
It's apparent that no change has taken place. He can sweet-talk to his school board members, but he can't sweet-talk to the coaches and media throughout the Panhandle. Many area coaches believe Johnson's a detriment to high school athletics.
It can be argued that it takes two teams to tango, and if last weekend were an isolated incident, that might be true. But when it happens again and again and again, common sense would point a finger at only one team.
Shamrock's reputation is such now that many coaches do not want to schedule games against it.
Unfortunately, five teams are trapped in District 1-1A with Shamrock and must play the Irish. Unfortunately, if Johnson still is coaching the Irish gridders next season, those

December to January.
February brought more cooling off for most of the country.
Just 13 states recorded a rise in background checks from January to February, and those were small spikes. South Carolina led as background checks rose 15 percent from January to February. The number of FBI checks rose 12 percent in Arkansas and 10 percent in West Virginia over the same period.
In Alabama, interest in gun ownership continued to fall, as February saw 5 percent fewer checks than in January. That’s not typical. Normally, January is the slow month. In both 2011 and 2012, Alabama saw background checks pick up in February.
While the early "Cabbage Patch" effect, fueled by speculation about potential bans, may have subsided, the nation is still purchasing far more firearms now than just oneyear ago.
Every single state still reported more background checks last month than in February of 2012.
Year over year, Utah led with a 75 percent uptick in background checks from February of 2012 to February of 2013. Utah was followed by Delaware, Alaska, Minnesota and Colorado. Background checks rose 32 percent in Alabama from February of 2012 to February 2013. That puts the state near the middle of the pack on that score.
And when it comes to using October - the last full month before the presidential election - as a benchmark for reactionary interest, the South is far from alone. Not one state had fewer checks in January than October. Delaware saw a 100 percent increase in background checks between January and October. So did Iowa and Rhode

Island. Alabama went from the nation’s largest spike in December, to 18th largest in January, up just 68 percent since October.
By February, nationwide interest showed signs of cooling. Across the country, 37 states saw background checks drop from January to February. Maine and North Dakota last month became the first states this year to record fewer total background checks than before the election.Free radical formation induced by ultrasound and its biological implications.
The chemical effects of ultrasound in aqueous solutions are due to acoustic cavitation, which refers to the formation, growth, and collapse of small gas bubbles in liquids. The very high temperatures (several thousand K) and pressures (several hundred atmospheres) of collapsing gas bubbles lead to the thermal dissociation of water vapor into .OH radicals and .H atoms. Their formation has been confirmed by electron spin resonance (ESR) and spin trapping. The sonochemistry of aqueous solutions of gases and of volatile and nonvolatile solutes is reviewed. The similarities and differences between sonochemistry and radiation chemistry of aqueous solutions are explained. Some unusual characteristics of aqueous sonochemistry can be understood by considering the properties of supercritical water. By the use of

mothers to justify their perceptions of their children's diets as healthy or not, the same categories as those previously cited were identified. Diet quality (with an emphasis on the types of foods consumed) was again used as the criterion that guided such perceptions. It was possible to observe similarities in the values the mothers attributed to some specific types of food, both in relation to their children's diets and to their own.
In the case of the mothers who consider their children's diets to be healthy, it is worth noting their emphasis on the important role of natural and traditional foods in Brazilian cuisine, such as rice, beans, meat, fruits, and vegetables. These mothers reported that they considered their children's diets to be healthy because they consumed these typeswhich could be freely transferred. According to the hand-drawn map annexed to the Regulations, what became Gaza and the West Bank was entirely Zone A, meaning that land transfers to Jews were, with few exceptions, prohibited. Britain apparently repealed these Regulations upon the termination of its Mandate (12 May 1948).
Between 1948 and 1967, as even the Palestinian Authority negotiating team has to admit, Jordan, who illegally occupied the territory that was supposed to become the "Arab State" in 1948, and Egypt confiscated Jewish-owned land, against international humanitarian law:

of these assets were used by the Custodian for public purposes, such as the establishment of refugee camps, the rehabilitation of refugees, and the setting up of army camps and marketplaces. In other cases, the property was leased to private individuals, who used the land for agricultural, commercial or residential purposes, depending on its characteristics.
This document which neither Al-Jazeera nor The Guardian saw fit to highlight lists specific properties that are indisputably owned by Jews in what is Judea and Samaria - even according to the Palestinian Authority, such as:
[L]and located on Mount Scopus...was purchased from a British national in 1916. Boris Goldberg, a member of Lovers of Zion, paid for the land and took title in his name. He gifted the land to the JNF, which gavea 999-year lease to Hebrew University. Additional land was purchased on Mount Scopus from Raghib al-Nashashibi, Mayor of Jerusalem, and was used for the Hebrew University. Hadassah Hospital was also built on land purchased on Mount Scopus...By 1946, the JNF acquired 72,300 dunums in the Gaza district, which encompassed more (!) than present-day Gaza.
In 1930, a Jewish farmer from Rehovot, Tuvia Miller, bought 262 dunums of land in Dayr al-Balah in the Gaza sub-district. Miller eventually sold his land to the JNF in the early 1940s. The JNF then allowed settlers from the religious Ha-Poel ha-Mizrahi movement to build the kibbutz of Kfar Darom on the land in October 1946. They abandoned the kibbutz in June 1948…a purchase of 4,048 dunums in Huj (Gaza sub-district) in 1935 but

does not indicate the identity of the Jewish purchaser. Note, however, that the Palestine Partition Commission reported that, by 1938, only 3,300 dunums in Gaza were owned by Jews. In 1941, 6,373 dunums were purchased by the JNF around Gaza City, though it is unknown whether the purchase was permissible under the Land Transfer Regulations 1940. The government of Palestine estimated a population of 3,540 Jews in the Gaza sub-district at the end of 1946. Information has not been found on the circumstances under which these Jews departed from Gaza in 1948.
There were Jewish settlements north of Jerusalem called Atarot and Neve Yaakov, which were evacuated in 1948. A settlement called Bet Haarava, and Palestine Potash, Ltd., both located at the northern end of the Dead Sea, weresituated on miri land leased by the government of Palestine and were evacuated in 1948. During the 1920s and 1930s, individual Jews and two Jewish-owned realty companies, Zikhron David and El Hahar, bought land in the hills around Hebron. Notwithstanding (and, actually, because of) the Land Transfer Regulations, 1940, which placed nearly all of the West Bank in Zone A, the JNF began purchasing land around Hebron in 1940. It acquired about 8,400 dunums by 1947, some of which was purchased from individual Jews and from Zikhron David and El Hahar. The settlements established on this land were called Kfar Etzion, Masuot Yitzhak, Ein Tzurim and Revadim…Some 16,000 dunums of land were purchased by Jews before 1948 in the Etzion Bloc and Beit Hadassah.

Mrs. Mvubelo, a black trade unionist, was one of a growing number of victims whose homes have been attacked with petrol bombs by those who have adopted a violent hard-line stance against people they regard as government ''stooges.''
Mrs. Mvubelo, general secretary of the National Union of Clothing Workers of South Africa, has been criticized by some blacks because of her call for continued foreign investment in this country.
Frequently targeted these days are political figures who are participating in institutions created by South Africa's ruling whites. Most of the attacks appear to be occurring in Soweto.
A group calling itself the South African Suicide Squad (SASS) has claimed responsibility for many of the incidents. It is the first time many here have heard of the group, and the police admitKimbal Musk, the brother of Tesla CEO Elon Musk, is trying to change the way we eat by creating what he calls a "real-food revolution."
For over a decade, Kimbal Musk has run two restaurant chains, The Kitchen and Next Door, which serve dishes strictly made with locally sourced meat and veggies. Since 2011, his nonprofit program has installed so-called Learning Gardens in over 300 schools to teach kids about agriculture.
Musk's latest food venture delves into the world of local urban farming.
In early November, he and fellow entrepreneur Tobias Peggs launched Square Roots, an urban-farming incubator program in Brooklyn, New York. The setup consists of 10 steel shipping-container farms where young entrepreneurs work to develop vertical-farming startups. Unlike traditional outdoor farms, vertical farms grow soil-free crops indoors and under

On Tuesday, Square Roots opened applications for its second season, which will start in October and last 13 months.
"Graduates are uniquely positioned to embark on a lifetime of real food entrepreneurship — with the know-how to build a thriving, responsible business," Musk wrote on Medium. "The opportunities in front of them will be endless."
Six weeks into the first season, just after the entrepreneurs completed their first harvests, Business Insider got a tour of the farms. Take a look:he wouldn't speculate on any potential alternatives to the plan the party had originally put in place.
"We're going to take the time we need to explore the options available to us, recognizing we still have five months till the caucuses," he said.
Price also expressed confidence that Iowa would not have to scrap the caucuses overall, or lose its status as the first state in the nation to express a presidential preference.
It's unclear how exactly the elimination of the tele-caucus option will affect candidate strategy. Conversations with campaign aides in Iowa and Nevada suggested most campaigns hadn't done much planning around the virtual caucus yet because the exact processes hadn't yet been approved by the DNC. But at least one candidate, former Housing Secretary Julian Castro, called the DNC's

"As a just reward of sorts for the incredible effort our team put forth in winter fitness training, we're thrilled to have the chance to play a very challenging spring schedule," Clement said.
As the team moves forward from last year and prepares for the upcoming season, the spring training period provides a chance for the returners to step forward and find roles going into fall camp.
"This spring is all about opportunity individually and collectively, and we're already seeing the sort of enthusiasm and team togetherness that will help immensely as we strive to compete at the highest level possible," Clement said.

Toronto officers have made several arrests connected to three shootings following a week of gun violence, police Chief Mark Saunders said Friday.
During a news conference Friday morning, Saunders said investigators made progress in three separate incidents, leading to the arrests of five people and the recovery of three firearms.
"We are optimistic about some of the ongoing investigations. We'll definitely be making more arrests."
Saunders said the spate of shootings "by and large have street gang connotations to them," and that police are working to "shift" their gun violence strategy. He said the new approach will place a stronger focus on street gangs, but did not provide details about the new plan or when it will begin.
Just hours later, gunfire erupted in the city's east end, leaving one dead.
Saunders acknowledgeda desperately needed escape valve for the neighborhood. The one-acre square of greenery is flanked by SROs, a mission, and a school. Named for a respected pastor, Father Alfred E. Boeddeker, it was known colloquially as “Prison Park” for its maze of fences, which provided cover for drug deals and muggings. Dead bodies were found there and locals were fearful of venturing inside.
As with Bryant Park in midtown Manhattan, a few simple moves transformed a menace into a magnet. The Trust for Public Land, the San Francisco Department of Recreation and Parks, and the architects of WRNS Studio consulted with neighbors and community groups to reimagine the park as an amenity for a wide spectrum of users. For WRNS Partner Bryan Shiles, the key improvement was to replace

But she said it's wrong to pin the massacre solely on his condition.
The two began dating after meeting in January in a social psychology class at Ohio's Sinclair Community College, she said.
Betts was "fascinated" by current events and tragedies, including mass shootings, she said. At the time, she said, nothing about his interests gave her pause given their course of study.
"It was his main focus as a psychology person. He was interested in what makes terrible people do terrible things," Johnson told CNN.
He knew mass shootings were "horrific," she said, "and he wanted to know what led a person to do those things."

as the gunman in a shooting in downtown Dayton that left nine dead and dozens injured, Johnson says she is trying to reconcile the person she knew with the scale of the tragedy.
Johnson shared her account of their relationship in a Medium post on Tuesday. "This is not an excuse for Connor Betts. This is just the Connor that I knew," read the first few lines of the post.
She told CNN that she knew he had guns, "but it's the Midwest so it's not real big news for people to have guns."
On their first date, Johnson said Betts showed her video of a mass shooting and gave her a play-by-play of what happened. She felt it wasn't abnormal for a psychology student to be fascinated by the "horrorsof humans," she said.
Otherwise, "he was a perfect gentleman throughout our relationship," she said in the Medium post. "Our relationship mostly consisted of us going out drinking and talking about our mental illnesses and him telling me about world tragedies and me talking about TV shows."
She said he told her that he had bipolar disorder, and she told him that she had depression, generalized anxiety and attention deficit disorder.
"We bonded over depression humor, something that only people who have been in the throes of it really ever understand and find humorous. Joking about personal mental illnesses is one of the biggest coping tools in the mental health toolbelt," she wrote.
When he started talking about his "dark thoughts," such as wanting to hurt himself or others, Johnson said she

Most people might call such incidents "red flags," she said, but she did not see them that way.
Then, something happened in May that changed her perspective.
She said he asked her to drive past a house to leave a letter. When pressed, she said, he told her it was an ex-girlfriend's home, and the letter was threatening. When she questioned him about it, "he tried to downplay it as a joke," she wrote in Medium, "but I knew it wasn't, so I pushed further."
She said he then admitted that he sometimes had "uncontrollable urges to do things," such as burn down houses.
"That was the red flag and that's when I got out because I'm not sticking aroundfor that," she told CNN.
She said she broke up with him via text message "because I didn't know how he'd react, so I wanted a safe distance."
She said she also texted his mother and told her what happened. She urged her "to keep an eye on him, because I cared about him and I wanted him to be safe," she told CNN.
Now she's trying to process what happened, she said.
"I am shocked that he did it to this level," she said. "I'm not shocked he did something horrific, because he had untreated problems and there were so many things and there are so many things that people aren't going to know."
"I didn't think he would go shoot strangers, especially his sister ," she added.

Chaney Jr. himself had acted in horror films before, most notably in 1941’s Man-Made Monster, helmed by Wolf Man director George Waggner. It was his impressive performance in Monster that got him the gig which would not only come to define the rest of his career, but that would allow him to escape (at least temporarily) the long shadow of his famous father.
While much of The Wolf Man‘s success has to do with Chaney Jr.’s sympathetic performance, credit must also go makeup effects man Jack Pierce, who created the now-iconic werewolf design used for the film. Interestingly enough, these designs were originally intended for Henry Hull’s lycanthrope character in Werewolf of London, but that actor refused to submit to the hours upon hours in the makeup chair requiredpathos and monster-movie theatrics that led to the film working both as a horror film and as a tragic and penetrating character study.
Like most classic films, of course, production on The Wolf Man wasn’t without its problems. For starters, Chaney had become notorious for his alcoholism even before taking on the role. This fact led indirectly to alleged on-set tension between he and his female co-star, Evelyn Ankers (tension that would continue in their numerous subsequent on-screen pairings), which started when Chaney was forced to give up his dressing room to accommodate her (reportedly as punishment for vandalizing studio property during a drinking binge). Chaney’s bitterness over this turn of events led to him constantly harassing the actress on set, which included sneaking up behind her in full

On a foggy January morning, a little high-roof school van went from home to home in Orangi Town, picking up schoolchildren like it did on any other day. It was getting late for school. In a bit of a rush, the van went slightly off road and got one of its tyres stuck in the soft mud. The more the driver tried to accelerate to force the vehicle out, the deeper the wheel got stuck in the ground. The van driver got off the van and went around behind it. Some children also got down, first to make the vehicle lighter but then, when they saw the driver trying to push it, they also placed their little hands on the van to help him and pushed with allban on the use of CNG in school vans, it was revealed that the van had two cylinders — an LPG cylinder placed near the driving seat and a Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) cylinder at the back. The two cylinders remained intact in the incident. Had they exploded in the fire, it would have been a graver tragedy to bear.
Even though fires in both the vehicle were not caused due to the LPG or CNG cylinder explosions, it is a fact that the cylinders’ placement in the vehicles is not ideal. In the van, the CNG cylinder is usually fitted under the back seat, which is a disaster waiting to happen in case of a collision from behind.
And moving LPG cylinders in vehicles is anyway a safety risk.

FINLEY, N.D. - The hunt continues for a fugitive who was last seen running into a cornfield near here, though law enforcement officials say he may have later escaped in a stolen car.
Dylan Klade, 21, Thief River Falls, has been on the run since 11 a.m. Tuesday.
Traill County officials say the car he's accused of stealing was last seen about 7:30 a.m. Wednesday near Clifford, N.D., about 30 miles by road from Finley. It reportedly had just half a tank of gas.
Klade was with another man, Corey Roper, 22, a Level 3 registered sex offender from Thief River Falls. Roper surrendered to Tuesday after a few hours in the cornfield.
Stolen vehicles
Law enforcement officials say the manhunt began after they checked on a recreational vehicle parked

on North Dakota Highway 200 and discovered it was stolen from the Thief River Falls area.
A short time later, officers spotted two men walking down Steele County Road 10. When officers approached, they took off running and ended in a cornfield. The manhunt went on until late at night.
The next morning, a homeowner reported his car had been stolen from a farmstead near Portland, down the road from Finley. Left at the farmstead was a lawnmower believed stolen from an unoccupied farmstead.
Not dangerous
Klade is described as being 5-foot-11-inches and 150 pounds with short black hair. He was last seen wearing a white tank top, blue jeans and no shoes, law enforcement officials said.
Klade is not believed to be dangerous or have a weapon.
According to Minnesota court documents, Kladeloss for the Lions, who lack playmakers without Bush on the field.
Bush added an important dimension as a pass-catcher out of the backfield, taking advantage of teams loading up on wide receiver Calvin Johnson.
With Bush out, backup Joique Bell will start and earn the majority of the carries for the Lions. Rookie running back Theo Riddick most likely will be No. 2. Riddick has displayed some ability taking over Bush's role in the pass game and on wide runs. Former second-round draft pick Mikel Leshoure is active for the first time this season and probably will spell Bell for stretches as the third back.
The Redskins have been susceptible to the run in the first two weeks, but without Bush it will be interesting to see if offensive coordinator

from making it eight times in 19 years — is desperate for fan support. The football team, which has been to the playoffs once in the last 18 years — soon to be once in the last 19 years — is blindly worshipped by its adoring fans, no matter how bleak the season or how gruesome the games. The baseball team's ownership and front office are held to impossibly high standards by its fan base. The football team's fan base continues to give whatever current regime spins into town through the revolving door in a given year a free pass, refusing to hold any feet to the fire for poor decision making and mismanagement. The baseball team said, "We're all in," by pushing the payroll envelope this yearin signing some big-ticket free agents in hopes of winning back more fans by winning more games. The football team said, "We're all out," by effectively throwing in the towel on the season by trading their best player just two games into the season, arrogantly, but rightfully unconcerned about any fan backlash. The fans will keep buying tickets. Why? Because they always do. No matter what. The baseball team hired a high-profile, high-priced, highly experienced manager with two World Series rings and tons of credibility, then upgraded the roster significantly to give him a fighting chance. The football team hired a rookie coach, then immediately undercut him by trading away the team's best player, turning the remaining 14 games into glorified scrimmages and giving the coach no chance

at all. The baseball team's manager, given his credentials, and the major roster upgrade orchestrated by the front office, was put by management in the enviable position of being allowed to do what he does best — be the leader of an energized, rejuvenated clubhouse of talented, hungry players. The football team's first-year coach, obviously absent any head-coaching experience, lost some credibility among the players, through no fault of his own, when his bosses apparently decided the No. 3 quarterback should start ahead of the coach's designated No. 2 quarterback when the No. 1 quarterback got hurt. Not to mention putting the rookie coach in the untenable position of trying to lead a demoralized locker room filled with either veterans who can't be happy about management's decision topull the plug on the season or young players wondering who the next ones out the door will be. The baseball team is trying to win now. The football team, after 13 virtually uninterrupted years of abject failure, has all but officially declared, "We're not taking this seriously until next year." The baseball team's general manager, in good times and bad, is always readily available to the media, willing to be the face of the franchise — which is a major responsibility of the job — to speak publicly and answer any and all questions, whether there's news that day or not. The football team almost never allows its general manager to speak in public. The baseball team is owned by a local family, one of admittedly limited

means — as judged on the scale of many owners of professional sports teams. The football team is owned by an outsider, who paid $1 billion for the team, and whose other company is being investigated by the FBI. It's never a good sign when a chapter in a book on the history of a sports team could be titled "The FBI Years". -- How would you like to be Joe Thomas? In the last five years, his team's record is 23-57. He's been in the NFL six years, been to the Pro Bowl all six years, and now, two games into his seventh year, his team makes it known they don't intend to go all out to win until next year. Way to waste the career ofManatee County near a protected bald eagle's nest had a valid permit, but started work before he actually had a hard copy of the permit, a state investigator has concluded.
"The only violation we could determine is they had started work before they had the permit in hand," said Gary Morse, a spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
The construction company, Blackrock Development Holdings, will be issued a warning in connection with the incident last week at a work site near State Road 70 and Lena Road, said Morse.
Blackrock officials could not be reached for comment late Monday.
Last week, volunteers taking pictures at the site saw construction activity going on, and wondered whether the nest was being disturbed, the Herald reported.

a second or more lower than the respective pacesetter in each of the three practice sessions.
While Alonso claimed successive second-place finishes at Spa and Monza, Ferrari had admitted that the acid test of their recent development work would come in Singapore given the higher-downforce conditions demanded by the circuit are more indicative of the rest of the calendar.
However, after setting only the seventh-fastest Q3 time - which was compounded by outgoing team-mate Felipe Massa outqualifing him for the third time in the last five events - Alonso adopted his usual Saturday night mantra after the session.
"We were not competitive in any of the sessions this weekend unfortunately and we were struggling a little bit with the pace compared with our main competitors," he told Sky Sports F1.
Coming upthe others did."

While history - and championship position - suggests Alonso will emerge as Ferrari's strongest challenger in the race despite being outqualified by Massa again, the Brazilian's performance in beating his team leader o the third row was nonetheless timely as he strives to save his F1 career after being told by his long-time employers last week that his services won't be required for 2014.
Massa had appeared to be particularly all at sea during practice with the handling of his F138 so was delighted to turn things around.
"We changed completely the car from yesterday to today. Free Practice Three was still not perfect, we changed the car again for qualifying and actually managed to put together

have a relative surplus of bottom-end blueliners and a shortfall of high end scoring power available to him.
Button’s team features Fleury, a Stanley Cup-winning goalie, steady defencemen such as Jonas Brodin and Brandon Davidson, but just two 20-goal scoring forwards in Jacob Silfverberg and Matt Read.
The roster’s weakness was demonstrated with Mathieu Perreault projected as the top line centre. He is a fine player and a consistent producer in the NHL, but Perreault has never been tasked with that heavy role in his eight-year NHL career. Young forwards such as Anthony Mantha, Jacob De la Rose, Ryan Dzingel and Kerby Rychel also dot the roster, but have not proven themselves as full-time NHL players yet.
June is still a long way off. But as Button also realized, the pictureand inferences logically drawn therefrom, as conclusive where supported by substantial evidence. Both parties have moved for summary judgment; supporting their motions by oral argument and memoranda.
From the record it appears the plaintiff is 63 years old (62 years at time of hearing), married, and no minor children under 18 years. His education consisted of completion of the eighth grade. He has no other formal training. His work history reveals, farming for himself, railroad work as a car carpenter and inspector, and structural steel work. All of his work history indicates physical labor, without any desk or bench work.
In his application to establish a period of disability, plaintiff stated he first became unable to work in June, 1952. The evidence indicates he fell from a scaffold while working

There is a lot of debate in the Warhammer 40,000 community about which army is the “best”. Usually it depends on the current shape of the tournament scene scene, which codex was released most recently, and the scenario being played. I believe we can now call the argument settled, however. The best army is…
The Ultramarines. Period.
Smurf marines are the greatest army in the history of ever. They are the only Space Marine army that ever had their own Citadel paint color: Ultramarines Blue.

that we get to follow the original colony of people through HUNDREDS of years of terraforming efforts and get to see how the group's various psychological profiles interact with each other and are affected by the environment and long-life (spoiler: the books postulate that human brains eventually start to lose the ability to store old memories after a certain number of years).
To demonstrate some of the fascinating psychology consider this concept from the books: "Aeroforming"
This made-up word contrasts "terraforming" where the colonizers force their standards upon a planet. With Aeroforming, the planet has subtle psychological effects on the colonizers and "imprints" its own unique ways of seeing and being upon the people that live there. For example, the Martian horizon feels much closer than Earth's which subtly affectsthe colonizer's sense of space and time. Also, the sun's light has to travel much further to reach Mars and the martian terrain is wildly different from Earth so that certain kinds of aesthetics that work on Earth don't work on Mars. So architectural design and even color-theory itself has to be rethought because the preconceptions from Earth brought by the colonists are unappealing in the new environment. The cumulative effects of aeroforming end up creating various social strata with differing loyalty to Mars vs. Earth. Spoiler alert: In one of the most iconic scenes, "Reds" (people fiercely loyal to Mars with a separationist mentality toward Earth) commit an act of terrorism on the space elevator cutting off the orbiting space station at the end of the cable.

PICU for a week:
I also got in a scary accident on the freeway and the insurance company ended up "totalling" my car... which seems pretty trivial looking back on things now.
The biggest change is in my career! I am now a software engineer at a company called TreeRing. It's a funny story because, when I was teaching, I was my school's yearbook editor. We used TreeRing to design, print, and ship our yearbooks. At the time, their product was all built in ADOBE FLASH, which I totally understood and chuckled at when I first saw it because of my background making Flash games. However, I was a bit surprised that they were using a "dead" technology.
Later I started getting emails about their upcoming new product version which wouldArt Pope-owned stores. The purpose is to inform the communities surrounding these stores, North Carolina, and the nation about the ways that Art Pope uses his money to hurt the very people who work and shop at his stores.
Background: Art Pope owns Variety Wholesalers Incorporated, a discount retail chain that includes Roses and Maxway and several smaller discount stores. These stores are located in over 65 cities across North Carolina in working class and minority neighborhoods. These communities are responsible for the millions of dollars that Art Pope and Variety Wholesalers Inc. earn each year. These communities have been good to Art Pope. However, Art Pope has not been a good neighbor or friend to these communities.

The method is based on the precipitation of strontium and the subsequent conversion of the formed strontium salt into lead phosphate. Isoproterenol and 5-guanylylimidodiphosphate were used as enzyme activators. In the light microscope, the final reaction product was detected in the choroid plexus as well as in the walls of the microvessels in the brain parenchyma. In the electron microscope, both the luminal and abluminal endothelial membrane as well as the basal lamina of the parenchymal microvessels displayed reaction product.

Importance and challenges of accurately counting rotavirus deaths in China, 2002.
Rotavirus mortality is an important component of the total burden of rotavirus disease for children under 5 years old, but accurate estimation is difficult for many developing countries. Here we applied a more direct method to improve estimates of rotavirus mortality in China using 2002 Chinese-specific data. Results indicate that in 2002, approximately 13,400 children under 5 years old in China died from rotavirus and 70% of these deaths occur in rural areas. Thus, a national rotavirus immunization program targeting rural areas with high mortality from diarrhoea could dramatically reduce these deaths and urban areas could reduce childhood hospitalizations attributed to rotavirus by 43%.Gujarat Police chief dies while holidaying in Thailand

first a piano piece, then orchestrated
as heard here, then included in a different version in King Christian II (1898); Cortège
(1905), a good-humored work from which the composer later took themes that
appeared in Scènes historiques II
and The Tempest; and a
not-very-march-like Wedding March
(1911) that is the only piece Sibelius composed for a play called Die Sprache der Vögel. The final work
on this CD is a real curiosity: it dates to 1938, by which time it is commonly
thought that Sibelius had long since stopped composing. But in fact he only
stopped creating major works after Tapiola (1926): he wrote smaller ones
and revised earlier pieces throughout the ensuing decades. Processional (1938) is an orchestral version of one of the curious
pieces that Sibelius wrote in 1927 after becoming a member of Finland’s Masonic
Lodge. Itis an intriguing if not exceptionally noteworthy piece that will
likely make listeners hope that Segerstam – who is exploring various less-known
works by Sibelius – will venture further into the composer’s late and infrequently
performed compositions.
The Bartók works for violin and piano on a
new CD from Blue Griffin Recording are, unlike the Sibelius pieces, all from
roughly the same time in the composer’s life: the 1920s, more or less.
Actually, the Romanian Folk Dances,
which Sarah Plum and Timothy Lovelace perform with a fine sense of rhythm and
excellent ensemble work, were written by Bartók in 1915, for solo piano; and the Hungarian Folk Tunes were written in 1908-10, also for solo piano.
Plum and Lovelace play a transcription of the Romanian set made in 1925-26 by
Zoltán Székely, and one of the Hungarian tunes

a whole
seem overdone. Also in this sonata, the violin goes through so many tempo,
rhythm and dynamic changes that it can be a real challenge to put forth the
sort of village fiddling and Romany-derived playing for which the work calls.
Plum rises to this challenge as to all the others on this CD – with the result
that listeners will surely look forward to the next entry in the Plum/Lovelace
survey of all Bartók’s works
for violin and piano.
Written later than any of
the works by Bartók or
Sibelius, the five pieces performed by Teng Li on a new Azica release are
intended to provide a musical portrait of a momentous year in the 20th
century: the CD is simply entitled 1939.
Li is a sensitive, careful performer whose sound practically glows at times,
and she is clearly committedin the Theresienstadt concentration camp and died in another camp,
Fürstengrube, at age 25. But aside from the fact that this duo appears to date
to 1940, the reality is that there is no reflection in it of World War II, much
less of the horrors visited upon Jews such as Klein under Nazism. This is
simply a well-made piece that uses quarter-tones in some effective ways and
that reflects some elements of musical thinking from the first half of the 20th
century. Also here are two works in fairly traditional classical format, with
the Sonata for Viola and Piano by
Hindemith (1895-1963) coming across somewhat more effectively than does the Concertino for Viola and Piano by Joseph
Jongen (1873-1953). The 1939 Hindemith sonata is the largest of his three for
viola and piano, and the last work

According to their published career profiles, Anita M. Bhatt and Mary Ann Wyrsch are experienced professionals who both played senior administrative roles at the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund (BCKF), created to help victims of the historic hurricane.
Yet, on March 8, 2006, Bhatt, who was BCKF’s chief financial officer, and Wyrsch, the fund’s executive director, falsely swore under oath in Washington, D.C., in a registration form sent across state lines to the attorney general of the state of Minnesota, that no nonprofit organizations provided support to BCKF.
The specific question posed was 18A on a Unified Registration Statement that was marked received in Minnesota on March 13, 2006: “Does [BCKF] receive financial support from other nonprofit organizations (foundations, public charities, combined campaigns, etc.)?

Josh Freeman, the quarterback who rapidly went from one of the most promising young players in the NFL to a major disappointment, is getting another shot.
The Dolphins have agreed to a one-year contract with Freeman, according to Mike Freeman of Bleacher Report.
Freeman was the Buccaneers’ first-round draft pick in 2009, and quickly made the Bucs’ decision to draft him look brilliant. In 2010, Freeman threw 25 touchdown passes and just six interceptions.
But his play declined after that, there was talk that he didn’t get along with new coach Greg Schiano and his staff, and the Bucs cut Freeman during the 2013 season. Freeman signed with the Vikings and quickly became the starter in Minnesota, but he was a disaster and was benched after his first game.
Last year FreemanUFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones believes a potential fight with Brock Lesnar is "somewhat equivalent" to the Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor contest on 26 August.
A super fight between Jones and Lesnar has been all the talk in the combat world ever since the 30-year-old defeated Daniel Cormier at UFC 214 on 29 July.

Moments after attorney Michael Marin was pronounced guilty of arson in Maricopa County Superior Court on Thursday, the one-time high roller went into convulsions and collapsed.
By the time paramedics got him to the hospital, he was dead.
Investigators suspect he poisoned himself rather than face a possible 15 3/4 years in prison. Video of the sentencing shot by a television pool photographer appears to show Marin putting something in his mouth in the seconds after the verdict was read.
A Maricopa County Sheriff's Office spokesman confirmed that detectives are considering poison as the cause of death.
2009 Biltmore fire photos
Marin, 53, had fashioned a larger-than-life persona. Tall and distinguished, he had a law degree from Yale University and had scaled Mount Everest. He flew planes and wrote books. He owned amansion full of fine art in the ritzy Biltmore Estates neighborhood of Phoenix. He had amassed a small fortune -- and lost it.
His mansion caught fire in July 2009. Marin said he barely escaped by climbing down a rope ladder from the second floor while wearing a scuba tank and diving mask to protect him from smoke inhalation.
But inside, arson investigators found boxes of flammable debris laid end-to-end through the house from the four ignition points, as if to feed the blaze. Marin was charged with arson of an occupied structure.
"Michael Marin couldn't pay his mortgage, so he burned down his house," Deputy Maricopa County Attorney Chris Rapp said in opening statements of the trial on May 21.

Then the jury left the room so that Cohen and the attorneys could set the ground rules for the ensuing hearing about whether there were aggravating factors that could result in a harsher sentence for Marin.
What video later revealed is that seconds after the verdict was read, Marin rubbed his cupped hands across his face with an expression of dismay. His mouth seemed to open beneath the hands and it appeared as if he swallowed something. Then he took a sports-drink bottle from a briefcase and drank from it.
Seven minutes later, Marin coughed and reached for a tissue handed to him as he sat at the defense table. He buried his bright-red face in his hands and appeared to sob.
But the sobs turned into hoarse snores and whoopsas hewent into convulsions. Marin dropped to his knees, and then fell face-first on the carpet as his attorneys tried to assist him. They pulled off his tie and opened his shirt, and when he began to vomit a clear liquid, they turned him on his side so he wouldn't choke. But he still had a pulse and was breathing.
When Phoenix Fire Department paramedics arrived, they immediately began chest compressions. Cohen cleared the courtroom.
When firefighters wheeled Marin out on a stretcher, his cheeks had gone gray and he had not regained consciousness.
The attorneys and the judge pondered what to do. Cohen released the jury for the day.
Then the word came: Marin was dead.
"I'm at a loss for words, honestly, at this point," Cohen said.

Confidence
The Italians began with a confidence and swagger which left their opponents chasing shadows in the opening stages. Spain goalkeeper David De Gea, overworked in the first period, produced an astonishing save to deny Graziano Pelle after the striker powered his header towards the bottom corner from Alessandro Florenzi's cross.
Italy, which topped Group E, continued to thrive and Emanuele Giaccherini forced De

Gea into another fine save with an overhead kick, though his effort would have been ruled out for a high foot if it had found the net.
Spain, beaten by Croatia in its previous match to finish second in Group D, looked lackluster, lethargic and unable to find a way to cope with Italy's ability to break on the counter attack.
Spain captain Sergio Ramos almost sliced the ball into his own net as Italy continued to whip dangerous crosses into the penalty area.
With 12 minutes of the first half remaining, Italy finally gained its reward.
Pelle was cynically fouled by Ramos about 20 yards from goal and, when De Gea failed to hold Eder's effort, Chiellini reacted first to force the ball home.

Buoyed by the goal, Italy went close again just before halftime with De Gea once again called into action to palm Giaccherini's exquisite curling effort over the crossbar.
Leading at the interval, Italy's only regret would have been its inability to make the most of its chances.
That failure appeared likely to prove costly as Spain, so anemic in the first half, began to find its feet and should have equalized within three minutes of the restart.
Alvaro Morata, scorer of three goals in his previous three games, found space inside the penalty area but could only send his header straight at the goalkeeper from close range.
It was a poor miss from the striker --

The Fort Hays State University Faculty Senate voiced concerns about the leadership of the university with the Board of Regents on Thursday afternoon.
The Regents had requested to meet with the Faculty Senate as part of their regular meetings conducted on the FHSU campus Wednesday and Thursday, said Breeze Richardson, director of communications for the board. They did not, however, expect the open session meeting to turn into an airing of grievances against FHSU President Mirta Martin.
The meeting ended up lasting approximately 20 minutes longer than scheduled as Faculty Senate President Carl Miller and others discussed their concerns.
Miller said there were faculty who would like to talk at the meeting, but feared repercussion if they spoke in public.

In November I presented the main findings of the preliminary Fact-Finding Mission (FFM) report of 29 October. This particular investigation of alleged use by the Technical Secretariat of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) had been requested by Syria. Government officials had transmitted four Notes Verbales alleging 26 chemical weapon (CW) events resulting in 432 casualties. The preliminary report focussed primarily on incidents at Jobar (northeast of Damascus) on 29 August 2014. While the investigators believed that government soldiers had been exposed to an

submitted by the Syrian government on 15 December 2014 that led to the FFM investigation, eight military personnel became casualties in an alleged CW incident on 15 February 2015. It provided a brief description of the incident, signs and symptoms, a more precise location, the hospital where casualties received treatment, and the names of the victims. The incident appeared sufficiently grave for the FFM to investigate it.
The FFM conducted interviews with medical staff and casualties relevant to the allegation and visited hospitals and research laboratories where tests on victim blood samples had been conducted. It also visited the Centre for Studies and Scientific Research Institute in Barzi, Damascus, on 12 and 14 August 2015. On the first day, team members had a discussion with the head of theresearch institute on the storage and research methods for blood collected for acetyl-cholinesterase (AChE) analysis and were made aware of the existence of several blood samples stored onsite related to the Darayya incident. Two days later the FFM revisited the institute to seal the selected blood samples.
In the course of the investigation the FFM received a variety of documents, including battlefield and medical reports, video footage and images from GoogleEarth indicating exact locations. These documents included the medical records of the eight reported casualties and the AChE analyses of six alleged victims. In several cases the investigators were granted access to requested documents, albeit without being provided with photocopies. Four of the reported casualties were given HI-6 (asoxime chloride) and dematropine, both nerve agent antidotes.

attack would have allowed the prompt deployment of the FFM to gather primary evidence and establish the facts surrounding this incident.
Some observations
A striking feature of the general debate at the 20th Session of the Conference of States Parties (30 November–4 December 2015) was that not a single country referred to the preliminary FFM report on the allegations put forward by the Syrian government. As one participating diplomat put it to me, conclusions were not yet definite. He added that ‘the Executive Council had kicked the can down the road’ and that the findings would make for a difficult meeting early in 2016. Indeed, a week earlier, on 23 November, the Executive Council had noted the FFM’s inability to confidently determine whether or not a chemical was used asof States Parties the Syrian delegate vehemently denied that his country had ever launched a CW attack. In 2013 Damascus requested the UN Secretary General to investigate certain allegations of chemical warfare; the UN investigative team was in the Syrian capital when sarin-filled rockets hit the Ghouta suburb. The offer to accede to the CWC and have its chemical warfare capacity eliminated under international supervision averted international military strikes and ensured regime survival, at least in the short term.
The request for an investigation submitted in December 2014 was the first since Syria had joined the OPCW. One imagines that the Syrian government would have mobilised all possible resources to substantiate its allegements to the greatest possible extent. Trivial or plainly false allegations would inevitably undermine the country’s standing

Council on 23 November. The other two reports address allegations of mustard agent use at Marea in northern Syria and chlorine attacks against Syrian government forces around Damascus.
This contribution focusses on the latter investigation. Syria submitted four Notes Verbales alleging a total of 26 chemical weapon (CW) events resulting in 432 casualties. The first reported incident dates back as far as 19 March 2013; the most recent ones took place in May 2015.
The investigative team deployed to Syria on 1 June, 1 August and 13 October. It has not yet finalised its investigation and the interim report circulating among CWC states parties focusses primarily on one incident at Jobar (‘Jober’ as spellt in the report), a municipality northeast of the old town of Damascus, on 29 August 2014.be part of the final report.
Allegations by the Syrian government
The Syrian Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, who also heads the Syrian CWC National Authority, submitted Note Verbale 150 to the Technical Secretariat on 15 December 2014. The document alleges 10 separate CW incidents in four Damascus neighbourhoods between April and September 2014 that resulted in 92 casualties, all among military personnel.
Summary of allegations in Note Verbale 150
Syria’s Permanent Mission to the OPCW delivered Note Verbale 41 to the Technical Secretariat on 29 May 2015. It lists 13 separate incidents, five of which preceded Syria’s accession to the CWC, four whose dates fall within the date range of Note Verbale 150 and an additional four that took place early in 2015. These attacks allegedly occurred in the

as ‘a rapidly onsetting [sic] mass intoxication by an organophosphorous compound in the morning of the 19 March 2013’, but added that ‘the release of chemical weapons at the alleged site could not be independently verified in the absence of primary information on delivery systems and of environmental and biomedical samples collected and analysed under the chain of custody’.
The two other incidents alleged in Note Verbale 41 took place immediately after the infamous Ghouta attack of 21 August 2013 and had also been investigated by the UN team. Of the one at Al-Bahriya (spelt as Bahhariyeh in the UN report) on 22 August 2013, the UN team could not corroborate the allegation. Blood samples all tested negative for any known signatures of chemical warfare agents.
With respect to theincident at Jobar on 24 August 2013 the UN report confirmed a ‘relatively small scale’ use of sarin against soldiers. However, again ‘in the absence of primary information on the delivery system(s) and environmental samples collected and analysed under the chain of custody, the United Nations Mission could not establish the link between the victims, the alleged event and the alleged site’.
Note Verbale 41 is equally intriguing for the absence of several other alleged incidents between March and September 2013 investigated by the UN team. These presumably concerned the investigation requests by France, the UK and the USA included in the mandate of the investigators by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. Note Verbale 41 also lists some incidents not addressed by the UN team.
It is clear that the OPCW

its findings if further objective evidence, complementing what was provided by the authorities of the Syrian Arab Republic, had been made available to the team. The FFM was not able to obtain hard evidence related to this incident, either because it was unavailable or because it was not generated in the first place. The lack of hard evidence precluded the FFM from gathering further facts in a definitive way.
While interviews with soldiers point to the possibility ‘of exposure to some type of non-persistent, airborne irritant secondary to the surface impact of two launched objects’, the FFM could not confidently determine whether such exposure might have resulted from the payload of the projectiles or from another source (propellant, a chemical stored in the area of impact, detonation products, etc.)the vulcanisation of rubber. As the report notes, these uses make it ‘relevant to the interests of a militarized non-state actor [and it is] also readily available in the region’. Many of the reviewed symptoms appear consistent with exposure to this non-persistent and volatile chemical.

The report on the allegations raised by the Syrian government is preliminary. The Jobar investigation is in the process of finalisation. The other mentioned incidents also remain under investigation pending final analysis. The interim report only contains an overview of activities undertaken until October 2015. These findings will also be included in the final report.

three reports on investigations of alleged chemical weapons (CW) use in Syria. On 5 November Reuters published some details from the one addressing the alleged use of sulphur mustard agent in Marea, a town to the north of Aleppo, on 21 August. The two other reports address a series of incidents between 15 December 2014 and 15 June 2015 at the request of the Syrian government and between 16 March and 20 May 2015 in the Idlib Governorate documented by a variety of non-governmental sources.
For the purpose of clarity, the OPCW maintains a single Fact-Finding Mission (FFM), which has so far produced six reports. Under the FFM, the OPCW may deploy different teams to different locations.
The most recent reports will be released as part of the monthly OPCWreports on Syria to the UN Security Council, presumbly at the end of this month following the special session of the Executive Council on 23 November called to consider the findings.
Incidents in Idlib Governorate, March – May 2015
The Idlib Governorate lies to the south-west of Alleppo. During the spring of 2015 the international press and social media reported a string of incidents suggesting the use of chlorine as a weapon.
This team of the Fact-Finding Mission received its mandate to investigate incidents involving the use of toxicants as a weapon based on open-source media, other sources of information and materials obtained from non-governmental organisations. The investigation could not take place under optimal conditions, because the OPCW inspectors were unable to visit the sites of alleged incidents shortly after their

and 20 May 2015. They were responsible for six fatalities.
First depiction of a chemical barrel bomb dropped from helicopters
The report also included a depiction of a so-called barrel bomb, based on the various testimonials and collection of bomb fragments. It notes that the design of the improvised weapon underwent an evolution of their manufacture, probably driven by trial and error. However, only a singly type appears to have been used in the Idlib Governorate between March and May 2015.

The configuration consists of 9 gas cylinders (green) presumably filled with poisonous chemicals. The report suggests that they may have been filled with a chlorine or chloride containing compound. The flasks with potassium permanganate (pink) would then have been used to oxidise theSyrian government helicopters dropped barrel bombs embedded with cylinders of chlorine gas on three towns in Northern Syria in mid-April‘.
On the value of the evidence
As usual and for good reason, the reports by the Technical Secretariat remain careful in their conclusions. Determination of reponsibility for the violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention and other legal instruments banning chemical warfare is pre-eminently a political judgement. As noted earlier, the Executive Council will consider these findings (as well as those in the other two reports) on 23 November, after which they will be transferred to the UN Security Council. They will also inform the Joint Investigative Mission established by the UNSC in August, whose principal task it is to determine responsibility for chemical warfare in the Syrian civil war.

competition revealed early thinking about racial superiority that was to define the decades after the Armistice. The ability to survive in a chemically contaminated environment was proof of a higher level of achievement. In other words, chemical defence equalled survival of the fittest. Or how Darwin’s evolutionary theory was deliberately misused in the efforts to justify violation of then existing norms against the used of poison weapons or asphyxiating gases.
During and in the immediate aftermath of the war, opposition to chemical warfare was slow to emerge. In part, this was the consequence of the appreciation by soldiers in the trenches and non-combatants living and working near the frontlines that gas was one among many nuisances and dangers they daily faced as its use became more regular. Defences, advancedtraining and strict gas discipline gave soldiers more than a fair chance of surviving a gas attack. The violence of total war swept away the humanitarian sentiments that had given rise to the first international treaties banning the use of poison and asphyxiating gases in the final year of the 19th century. Those documents became obsolete because people viewed modern gas warfare as quite distinct from primitive use of poison and poisoned weapons or the scope of the prohibition had been too narrowly defined. By February 1918 chemical warfare had become so regular that a most unusual public appeal on humanitarian grounds by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) badly backfired on the organisation. Throughout the 1920s the choice between an outright ban on chemical weapons

2014 on several reports have alleged chlorine use by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in Iraq. The claims began shortly after the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) had released its first report on its investigation into the chlorine attacks in Syria earlier in the year. In a politically highly charged atmosphere in which supporters and opponents of the regime of President Bashir al-Assad use any incident to blame insurgent forces of atrocities or call for regime change, one must necessarily view accusations of chemical warfare with a healthy dose of scepticism. This is particularly the case if allegations disappear as quickly as they surface.
However, during the autumn of last year there was some consistency in the albeit irregular reports. Furthermore, on10 February, OPCW Director-General Ahmet Üzümcü confirmed that the Iraqi authorities had notified the OPCW of chlorine gas attacks against Iraqi soldiers. At present it is not known which steps, if any, the OPCW will undertake with regard to these allegations.
Last October I described how al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), a precursor organisation to ISIL, applied chlorine in a campaign of car bombings between October 2006 and June 2007. While many people in the vicinity of the detonation required medical treatment for exposure to the agent, nobody was actually killed by the gas. This posting looks into the various allegations of insurgent chlorine attacks in Syria and Iraq since 2013.
Over the past few weeks several press reports have suggested that the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant

The grouping is no stranger to chlorine. In some earlier incarnation it was known as al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) and later it rebranded itself as the Islamic State of Iraq when it explicitly began trying to control territory. Harsh imposition of its strict interpretation of Sharia law and extreme violence towards anybody refusing total subjugation to its rule soon had Sunni tribal leaders uniting in resistance early in 2007. They also began cooperation with forces of the US-led coalition occupying Iraq since 2003 and the Shia-dominated Iraqi government. AQI started mounting large-scale operations involving several hundreds of fighters to capture local seats of power.

the emergence of the Ulster Volunteer Force had already evoked a nationalist response in the Irish Volunteers, making weekend soldiering a popular civic pastime. What made the ICA unique was that all these currents converged in Liberty Hall. It was socialist, nationalist, internationalist and militarist in a uniquely Dublin way. Despite the national structures to which it aspired, the heart of the ICA, like the ITGWU, resided in Dublin city and county.
Seminal moment
Unknown to those gathered in Liberty Hall that afternoon, they were also creating the organisational bridge that would link 1913, the seminal moment in Irish labour history, with 1916, its nationalist counterpart. Whether that was a good thing has been the subject of debate ever since.

On December 31, 2011, President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), codifying indefinite military detention without charge or trial into law for the first time in American history. The NDAA’s dangerous detention provisions would authorize the president — and all future presidents — to order the military to pick up and indefinitely imprison people captured anywhere in the world, far from any battlefield.
The breadth of the NDAA’s worldwide detention authority violates the Constitution and international law because it is not limited to people captured in an actual armed conflict, as required by the laws of war. Under the Bush administration, similar claims of worldwide detention authority were used to hold even a U.S. citizen captured on U.S. soil in military custody, and many in Congress assertThe response of endocrine system to stress loads during space flight in human subject.
The responses of endocrine system to the exposure to stress-work load and hormonal changes during oral glucose tolerance tests were studied in the Slovak astronaut before (three weeks before flight), during (on the 4th and the 6th days of space flight), and after space flight (1-3 days and 15-17 days after space flight) on board of space station MIR. Blood samples during the tests were collected via cannula inserted into cubital vein, centrifuged in the special appliance Plasma-03, frozen in Kryogem-03, and at the end of the 8-day space flight transferred to Earth in special container for hormonal analysis. Preflight workload produced an increase of plasma norepinephrine and a moderate elevation of epinephrine levels. Plasma

Gov. Gary Herbert on Monday signed HB145, a bill aimed at cutting down on roadside areas where panhandlers may seek money.
It newly bans panhandling on roads with a median — either raised or flat, including the grassy medians on many low-speed-limit Salt Lake City streets — and roads that share space with rail tracks, such as for TRAX light rail.
Last year, the Legislature outlawed panhandling at freeway exits and along high-speed highways by taking a different approach than previous, similar laws that were struck down as unconstitutional.
The old laws specifically targeted panhandling, which courts ruled is a protected form of free speech. The new law — which takes effect May 8 — is ostensibly designed to improve pedestrian safety.

Panhandlers may soon find their territory shrinking.
The House Transportation Committee on Thursday unanimously endorsed HB145, which expands the list of areas where panhandling or other traffic-impeding activity by pedestrians is banned.
It adds roads with a median — either raised or flat, including the grassy medians on many low-speed-limit Salt Lake City streets — and roads that share space with rail tracks, such as for TRAX light rail.

Dr. Jeffrey Fisher of the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, agreed with this position, stating, "It's the subject property that has suffered the loss in value due to depreciation, so it is the subject property that we have to use as the basis for determining depreciation." (Trial Tr. at 196.) Dr. Fisher opined that the date upon which a replacement improvement could have been built it is irrelevant, as long as it could have been constructed on the date of assessment. (Trial Tr. at 200.)
The testimony of these witnesses is logical. Determining excess construction cost involves comparisons of the costs new of two hypothetical buildings: an exact replica of the subject improvement and a modernized, yet equally efficient, building. As "new" structures, thesein the present case supports the State Board's finding as regards the fifteen percent adjustment. Mr. Beres testified on both direct and cross-examination that the costs used for assessments in the 1989 Manual reflected 1985 costs that had been deflated by fifteen percent. Mr. Beres indicated that he had been president of a company with which the State had contracted to update the Manual's cost tables for the 1989 general reassessment. (Ex. U at 581.) The 1989 tables were based upon 1985 costs. (Ex. U at 581.) Mr. Beres stated that his company developed costs for the 1989 Manual and that the State, without explanation, had reduced these costs by fifteen percent. (Ex. U at 657-58.)

Symptomatic and silent ischemia associated with microsurgical clipping of intracranial aneurysms: evaluation with diffusion-weighted MRI.
Silent ischemic events are known to occur during diagnostic and interventional endovascular procedures between 10% and 69% of the time. The occurrence of silent and symptomatic ischemic events in the surgically treated population is not known, although atherosclerotic changes of intracranial vessels or within the aneurysms wall or neck area are seen often during surgery. Patients with unruptured and ruptured intracranial aneurysms treated by microsurgical clipping were prospectively evaluated with MRI using diffusion-weighted imaging sequences before and within 24 hours after surgery. Patients were evaluated clinically before and after surgery. During surgery, the overall and maximal time of temporary occlusion as well as the total number of temporary and finally applied clips was noted.It’s 2002 in Sacramento, California and Christine McPherson (Saoirse Ronan) is a 17 year old with big plans. She is making a car trip with her mother (Laurie Metcalf) and an argument ensues. In a fit of rage and while the car is moving, Christine opens the car door and jumps out. Flash forward in time and she is now sporting a plaster cast on her arm from the ‘accident’. Her relationship with her mother is extremely fractured and volatile and she tells everyone that her given name is now Lady Bird. With her best friend, Julie, she auditions for a part in the High School play and along the way she meets and falls for Danny (Lucas Hedges). The pair get extremely close but a major incident

A large scale methamphetamine trafficking operation described by prosecutors as a “family affair” was recently busted by authorities in Montgomery and Philadelphia counties.
The joint effort between the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office, the Drug Enforcement Agency and various local police departments netted nearly three dozen arrests, according to a press release put out Tuesday by the Montco D.A. Risa Vetri Ferman.
The alleged drug ring was foiled thanks to the use of three weeks of wiretaps and electronic surveillance on the cell phones of suspects Frank Messina of Hatfield and Troy Dudas of Schwenksville, according to the D.A.
After the surveillance, 14 search warrants were executed on various locations including Cosmo Motors auto-body shop on E Blaine Street in Lansdale. At Cosmos, authorities

Bank President Mario Draghi.
Today, Lew heads to Berlin to have a conversation with German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schauble. Lew’s meeting in Paris with French Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici was abruptly cancelled by Moscovici. The excuse given was a scheduling conflict but it may well be that the French Finance Minister didn’t like the feedback he was hearing from the earlier meetings.
While Lew’s boss, the President of the United States, was preparing to release his budget proposal tomorrow which will cut Social Security benefits for seniors, veterans and the disabled, Lew was shilling for Wall Street across Europe, talking down the imposition of a financial transaction tax.
This past February, 11 European countries, including Germany and France, agreed to the financial transaction tax which is expected to raise $45 billionImage copyright PA Image caption The AJ production line in Bridgend Ford closed for five days from 29 October
Ford is in talks with a chemical company about using its Bridgend plant to build a new off-road vehicle.
Ineos Automotive plans to build a car to replace the Land Rover Defender, which went out of production in 2016.
Talks come a week after Ford told staff working on the new Jaguar engine not to come to work for five days.
Ford employs 1,850 people in Bridgend, though there have been concerns about the plant's long-term future.

sets of German crosses, with the ANR flag painted aft of the fuselage Balkenkreuz, with small ANR flags replacing the tail swastikas.Unit emblems were usually applied on either side of the engine cowlings. In the case of MC.205 outfits the emblems were slightly asymmetrical due to the location of the air intake on the aircraft’s port side. Aircraft individual numbers were often repeated on the landing gear wheel covers or on the front engine cowlings. The manufacturers data markings, applied to airframes at factories, were sometimes lost when aircraft were repainted (even though official orders forbade it). The ANR followed the Luftwaffe’s practice of painting spirals on propeller spinners, or painting one third of the spinner in white. On the other hand, the ANR’s fighters notably lacked staffUS presidential candidate Donald Trump postponed a rally scheduled for Friday night in Chicago after the event turned into a chaotic scene at the University of Illinois-Chicago, with the thousands of attendees split into opposing camps of supporters of the Republican front-runner and protesters against his candidacy.
Fights broke out after a Trump staffer took to the stage nearly a half hour after the rally was slated to begin and told the crowd that the event would be postponed due to safety warnings from law enforcement.
"Mr. Trump just arrived in Chicago and after meeting with law enforcement has determined that for the safety of all of the tens of thousands of people that have gathered in and around the arena, tonight's rally will be postponed to another date," the

Trump campaign said in a statement. "Thank you very much for your attendance and please go in peace."
A campaign statement issued slightly later said the event would be rescheduled, but did not offer details.
The crowd acted out after the announcement came over the loudspeaker, according to NBC Chicago.
Watch footage of the events in Chicago here:
Hundreds of protesters had gathered inside and outside of the event, multiple news outlets reported. Inside the now-cancelled rally, "at least five sections in the arena were filled with protesters," according to CNN. By 7:45pm, nearly two hours after the event was scheduled to start, protesters were reportedly blocking vehicles from exiting parking facilities near the arena where the event would have taken place.
After the announcement was made, protesters began to chant and cheer,News. "President Obama has not been a unifier. He has been a divider. I'm a unifier. I'll bring people together."
Fellow Republican presidential contender Ted Cruz reacted to the incident during an interview on Hugh Hewitt's radio show. "There's no doubt that a candidate bears responsibility for the culture that is set from the top," he said, adding that he often engages with protesters when they are civil.
The Texas senator recalled his recent attack on the billionaire businessman for asking rally attendees to pledge loyalty to his campaign. Cruz said that, in contrast with Trump, he views protesters "with respect, not as potential subjects for a monarch."
Trump, speaking to MSNBC by telephone shortly after the postponed event, said he met with law enforcement after arriving in Chicago. Though he

A Sydney man had a rather tragic start to his New Year’s Eve celebrations when he dropped his carton of beer on the street only seconds after the bottle shop closed.
A series of photos captured by an onlooker showed the man assessing the damage on Enmore Rd in Sydney’s inner west.
He was visibly upset after realising many of his beers couldn’t be saved.
'The more broken six packs he pulled out, the sadder he became,' Tayon McCafferty, who took the photos, told the Daily Mail.

McCafferty was standing outside the Queen Victoria Hotel in Enmore when he noticed the man.
'He had bought a case and when he walked out of the bottle shop, they locked the door behind him,' he said.
The man was seen holding hison a humanitarian mission in international waters.
Push for an end to the counterproductive Gaza blockade that is causing so much human suffering.
Step up efforts to help bring peace by ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Almost every nation in the international community has condemned this attack. But the United States, with its unique relationship with Israel, has been quiet at this critical time. The President needs to speak out more forcefully and support a truly independent, international investigation of the attack. But we also need a wider vision and wider action. Now while the world is paying attention there is an urgent opportunity to end the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and build lasting peace in the region.

calling for an end to the blockade of Gaza.
Since the 2006 elections that put Hamas in power, the U.S. has supported the blockade of Gaza. But the blockade has failed to force Hamas to change its positions. Nor has it encouraged Palestinians to remove them from power. Instead it has caused serious harm to human health and welfare among the civilian population. There are better ways to protect the Israeli population and to promote peace in the region. The U.S. should support efforts to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza and work with the internationally community to end the blockade.
Pressure around the world to end the Gaza blockade is growing. But without the U.S. joining in, the efforts to improve the situation are likely to stall out asto improve concussion assessment in the realm of elite football, and suggest that significant and persistent knowledge uptake and/or attitudinal barriers to implementation may exist.
Barriers to implementation {#s4c}
--------------------------
Several factors may contribute to weak implementation of SRC assessment protocols in elite football. First, the high stakes of competitive sport and rules of the games may pressure team medical staff to ignore PCEs, or inappropriately shorten examination and encourage RTP, particularly in situations when the team needs a result. In a widely publicised and recent example illustrating the pressures that team doctors may experience, a long-serving female team doctor from Chelsea Football Club was publically criticised, demoted and eventually forced out of the club for fulfilling her medical obligation to assess an injured player in stoppage time of a Premier

Sometimes America's public school system gets black history wrong. So wrong, in fact, that Bethel University student Justin Giuliano created his own hashtag to spread awareness regarding black history he felt was overlooked in the average school's history curriculum.
"I thought, 'I'll just make a hashtag, #BlackHistoryYouDidntLearnInSchool, because he's been erased from history and I never learned about him in school,'" Giuliano, referring to the civil rights activist Bayard Rustin, told PBS NewsHour in February. Rustin worked with Martin Luther King, Jr.
The United States recognizes Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on Monday, Jan. 18. We've decided to commemorate his holiday by sharing seven facts about the civil rights leader that you weren't taught in school.
King first had a dream in Detroit.
Source: Anonymous/APTwomonths before Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his famous "I Have A Dream" speech in Washington D.C., he made mention to his dreams in Detroit. In June 1963, King marched down Woodward Avenue with a crowd of 125,000 in the largest civil rights demonstration the US had seen at the time.
The rally, known as "The Walk to Freedom", protested the civil rights issues of the time, such as segregation in the South, but also educational and economic inequality that persisted in the northern states. The march concluded at Cobo Hall, in the heart of Detroit.
"I have a dream this afternoon that my four little children, that my four little children will not come up in the same young days that I came up within," King said at
