Frank Zappa, Capitalist Rocker : Entrepreneurship: Zappa got title to his master recordings by suing his record company. Now he's making non-music deals with the Soviets.
Frank Zappa has long been known as a rock 'n' roll iconoclast, an outspoken, unconventional musician who earned the devotion of a moderate-sized following with records such as "Freak Out," "Weasels Ripped My Flesh" and "Sheik Yerbouti." But the former leader of the Mothers of Invention is also a shrewd businessman. "I don't have anything against making a profit," he said.
Zappa, who turns 49 on Thursday, always did part his hair differently than his more commercially successful contemporaries. But this year, while middle-aged rockers such as the Who, Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones were reaffirming their popularity on high-profile concert tours, Zappawas smart enough to stay home. He hung up his road gear after he lost $400,000 on his self-financed 1988 tour.
"Everybody got paid but me," he said. Even though the four-month tour of the United States and Europe was 90% sold out, Zappa said the losses piled up because of high travel costs and salaries for the 12-piece band. There were 43 people in all, three buses and five trucks. "I had to pay the cost of all the airplane tickets, all the buses, all the food, all the per diems and salaries," Zappa said.
"That sort of dampens one's enthusiasm for going out there and doing it again," he said, adding that he's unwilling to accept financial backing from a corporate sponsor because it would mean hawking products

such as beer or soft drinks.
But Zappa is hardly struggling. Like any other businessman, he's worked at cutting his overhead and he looks for new business opportunities where he can find them, some as distant as the Soviet Union. From offices in North Hollywood and his hilltop Laurel Canyon home, Zappa and his wife of 22 years, Gail, run several businesses: a record label, a mail-order company, a video company and a music publishing firm. All the businesses are 100%-owned by Zappa and his wife and he says they are profitable, although he remains tight-lipped about sales and earnings.
He owns the lucrative master tapes for many of his recordings, thanks to a lawsuit he filed against his former record company, Warner Bros. Records, and he slowly re-releases theold titles on compact discs. Much like an annuity, the money keeps coming from those re-releases. "My stuff sells year after year and the income from those sales goes to me," Zappa said.
It was a few years ago that Zappa and his wife decided to cut their overhead. They had employed managers, lawyers and accountants to run his music businesses. "After we started reading the contracts, we started to get smart and figured out maybe we could do it better," Gail Zappa said. "So I fired everyone and started over."
Since 1985 she has run the business end of things. "He's the artist and puts the product together. I handle all production aspects of it, the cover art and packaging. I make all the financial decisions."

Climbing the Hill
It's beyond question that a President Kerry would inherit a Congress that, for the past half-decade, has been spiraling into an ever deeper dysfunctionality. During the past two years, under the control of the Bush administration and the leadership of Republicans Tom DeLay in the House and Bill Frist in the Senate, many of the hallmarks of legislative democracy -- the right to bring bills to the floor, offer amendments, and iron out differences in conference committees -- have been suspended. This has happened mainly because the Republican leadership is a bunch of thugs, but also because on a number of key issues, the Democratic position already commands majority support, which George W. Bush and Co. have managed to thwart only through the abuse ofTrams began their first journeys through Surry Hills to Central Station in Sydney's CBD on Tuesday night, in a significant sign of progress for the city's troubled light rail project.
Overhead lines were already energised from Central Station to Randwick, which allowed for night-time testing of the first tram – under police escort – along a much greater stretch of the 12-kilometre line. It ran through a tunnel under Anzac Parade and along Devonshire Street in Surry Hills.
A fortnight ago, trams began day-time testing to the end of the line at Randwick.

Fish and Hebrew Amulets
A while back I chanced upon this lovely Shadai amulet for sale on the internet. Its shape reminded me of the importance of fish in Hebrew amulets. As an aside, the Hebrew term (Argaman), spelled by the five platelets dangling below the fish ornament, is an acronym constructed from the initials of the names of the angels (Auriel [Ori’el]), (Rafa’el),

Valtteri Filppula, whose net-side shot beat Crawford to make it 1-1.
Back and forth it went, the Blackhawks seizing the momentum in the outset of the third period. Kris Versteeg found himself in alone on a partial breakaway. And though his shot attempt was thwarted by a backcheck from Garrison, the puck rolled at Bishop, who coughed up a rebound that landed on the stick of Antoine Vermette. Vermette’s shot from close range made it 2-1, two minutes into the third. It proved to be the winner.
The Blackhawks had late chances to take a two-goal lead. Teravainen, who missed the net on a breakaway earlier in the game, had a shot from the slot in the latter half of the third, shortly after Andrew Desjardins missed from in close."We are changing the way we play" - Georgallis

Saxophonist Tom Gullion brings a deep, soulful performance style, a sophisticated avant-garde sensibility, and a quicksilver technique. His varied career has included periods of intense performance and also of introspective creativity. Now, at the peak of his musical maturity, he has released two albums on Momentous Records, Carswell and Time It Is.The Kansas City Chiefs announced their roster moves today. The two big ones are that Tyler Bray has been sent to injured reserve, which means the Chiefs can keep all of their quarterbacks, including rookie Aaron Murray, and the Chiefs keeping Cairo Santos over Ryan Succop at kicker.
"As a collective football operation, coaches and scouts have held numerous discussions on each player during the evaluation process," said Chiefs General Manager John Dorsey in a statement. "We had excellent competition at every position and that's a great thing, but today we had to make some difficult decisions to narrow our roster to 53. We appreciate all the time and effort these young men put in for us and wish them all the best."

A Solon Township man could face up to life in prison after he pulled a knife on a man and used a racial slur during the confrontation.
Eric Scott Pierson, 50, reportedly approached a black male inside Huck’s Corners, at the corner of 17 Mile and White Creek in Solon Township, on December 30, called him “dark chocolate” and asked him how he was doing. The man ignored Pierson, which police said upset the suspect. He then pulled out a knife and threatened the victim with it.
The store owner separated them, and the victim left. When he returned a short time later to continue his shopping, Pierson approached him with a knife and used a racial slur, saying “This (slur) isn’t supposed to be here. Thisis our town.”
The victim, who had a permit for a concealed weapon, then pulled out a handgun and pointed it at Pierson and told him to get away. The store owner intervened again and Dorma left the shop.
Pierson turned himself into police on Saturday, February 4. He is charged with carrying a concealed weapon, felonious assault with a dangerous weapon, ethnic intimidation, and habitual offender, 4th offense. He has been convicted of three previous felonies, and if convicted of the concealed weapon charge, he could spend the rest of his life in prison.
Pierson has a preliminary hearing February 10 at 9:45 a.m. with Judge Sara Smolenski in 63rd District Court.

footage shows the confrontation and Mallory's death. The footage is from inside Davenport police officer Cliff Anderson's vehicle. The footage is courtesy of the police department.
A man with a history of violence is dead and an officer is injured after a shooting Friday morning on the Centennial Bridge.
Steven Tyrone Mallory, 39, of Davenport, died after he was shot by Davenport police officer Clif Anderson about 11:20 a.m., Police Chief Frank Donchez said. Anderson, 41, is recovering from his injuries.
The incident began when the Davenport officer stopped the suspect in the middle of the bridge to question him regarding an assault 15 minutes earlier at the Cafe on Vine coffee shop, a free meal site at 932 W. 6th St., officials said.
The victim of the assault was a 53-year-oldScott County man who was volunteering at the cafe. The volunteer was hit on the head and taken to Genesis Medical Center-West Central Park, Davenport, for treatment of injuries. A citizen followed the suspect to the Centennial Bridge.
Anderson, a 14-year veteran of the force, crossed the bridge, turned around in Rock Island and then returned to talk to Mallory in the middle of the span.
Anderson told Mallory to get down on his knees several times, orders that Mallory did not heed, according to police officials and video released Friday. The officer deployed his Taser, which appeared to have no effect on the suspect because one of the two prongs missed him and the electrical connection was not completed, Davenport police Capt. David Struckman said.
Mallory then attacked Anderson, punching

Atlanta, Georgia (CNN) -- Atlanta-based megachurch pastor Eddie Long, accused of coercing young men into sexual relationships, will go on radio and make a statement Thursday following civil lawsuits a spokesman has termed a "shakedown" for money.
Long's appearances will follow Wednesday's filing of another lawsuit, in DeKalb County, Georgia, State Court. It was brought on behalf of Jamal Parris, now 23, who was a teenager at the time he joined Long's church.
The suit, which claims Long encouraged Parris to call him "Daddy," also names the church and a youth academy as defendants.
Allegations that Long coerced young male church members and employees into sex are "a case of retaliation and a shakedown for money by men with some serious credibility issues," Art Franklin, the pastor's spokesman, said Wednesday.
Long "categoricallyand adamantly denies these allegations," Franklin said. "There's been a lot of chatter since yesterday, but these complaints that have been filed are definitely without merit."
Long will make a statement Thursday morning, he said. Long's attorney and supporters are expected to stand with him.
Syndicated columnist and CNN political analyst Roland Martin said on Twitter that he will talk with Long at 7:15 a.m. ET Thursday on "The Tom Joyner Morning Show," a syndicated radio program.
Parris joined New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in 2001, when he was 14. Long counseled Parris when the latter talked about his strained relationship with his father and got him a job as a summer camp counselor at New Birth, the suit states.
The suit, also filed by attorney B.J. Bernstein, claims Long engaged in

Robinson and Flagg were among many young people employed by the church. Asked whether they ever traveled with Long, he said that a number of people travel with him.
On whether the two youths ever shared a room with Long, Franklin said, "That is one of the allegations that we learned through the media that's being made by the attorneys and something our defense team will have to respond to.
"We have not even seen the lawsuit ourselves," he said. "That's something our attorneys will have to go through."
On the reaction from Long's congregation, Franklin said, "Last night, it was a very spirit-filled worship service from a church family that loves its spiritual leader very much." He said Long is drawing strength from his family, the New Birth family andabout the situation.
Long frequently denounces homosexual behavior. A 2007 article in the Southern Poverty Law Center's magazine called him "one of the most virulently homophobic black leaders in the religiously based anti-gay movement."
Both plaintiffs said the pastor, his church and church employees gave them cash and lavish gifts that ranged from cars to college tuition.
The lawsuits also said that Long framed the sexual relationships as religious in nature.
"They were groomed for it, from 14 to 17 years old," Bernstein said Wednesday. "He gets to know them and gets the trust, and then bit by bit -- first it's a hug. It's just like any sexual predator. Or we're sitting watching the football game, and you put your legs up on their lap ... One of the boys described

A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) finds, after a period of stability between 2000 and 2007, the suicide rate among children and adolescents aged 10-24 increased 56 percent between 2007 and 2017.
The report shows the homicide rate for the same age group was also stable between 2000 and 2007, then dropped 23 percent from 2007 to 2014 and then increased 18 percent between 2014 to 2017.
“For persons aged 10-14, suicide rates increased from 2007 to 2017, while homicide rates declined,” state the authors of the report, Sally Curtin and Melonie Heron, continuing the breakdown for the other age subgroups:
Suicide and homicide death rates for persons aged 15–19 have increased recently during 2000–2017, from 2007 to 2017 for suicide and from 2014 tofacts are not in dispute:
The Dredging Company had a contract to dig a navigable canal from the Sabine river, on the boundary line between Texas and Louisiana, to Lake Charles, in Louisiana. In pursuance of that contract its dredge was cutting a canal across land, and was kept afloat by water which filled up the canal as it was cut. Lindberg was second engineer on the dredgeboat, and while acting as such the engine room became so hot and close that he went up on deck to cool off. He sat down on one of the bitts located about amidships along the side of the dredgeboat, where he remained some time, probably an hour, and until an oiler came up and asked him what he was doing there.

From the AP:President Bush, seeking to blunt international criticism of the U.S. record on climate change, on Thursday urged 15 major nations to agree by the end of next year on a global emissions goal for reducing greenhouse gases.
Bush called for the first in a series of meetings to begin this fall, bringing together countries identified as major emitters of greenhouse gases blamed for global warming. The list would include the United States, China, India and major European countries.
The president outlined his proposal in a speech ahead of next week's summit in Germany of leading industrialized nations, where global warming is to be a major topic and Bush will be on the spot.

With the French presidential election over, the task of governing is now on the shoulders of the newly-elected President, Nicolas Sarkozy. And when it comes to energy security, it seems as if he appreciates the role nuclear energy plays both in France and around the world.
Why do I say that? Back in April 2006, Bruno Comby, President of Environmentalists for Nuclear Energy, sent a questionnaire to all 12 candidates for President, and the most positive response was received back from the Sarkozy campaign.
The following is an excerpt from an English translation of the response that Sarkozy'sFrench power production was nuclear, according to the industry ministry. Nuclear accounts for about 17 percent of total energy consumption.For more on the French nuclear program, click here.

In an all-night session capping four days of talks, economists, scientists, and government officials from more than 100 countries agreed in Bangkok early on Friday local time on most sections of a report outlining ways to limit such emissions, led by carbon dioxide, an unavoidable byproduct of burning coal and

Adam for giving our industry a fair shake, something we're not quite used to as of yet.
From Maclean's:Stephen Harper would seem an unlikely pitchman for nuclear power. When the Prime Minister launches into his familiar spiel about Canada as an emerging "energy superpower," we all think we know what he's talking about - he's an Alberta MP, after all, and his father worked for Imperial Oil. Yet in a key speech last summer in London, his most gleeful boast was not about record oil profits, but about soaring uranium prices. "There aren't many hotter commodities, so to speak, in the resource markets these days," Harper joked to the Canada-U.K. Chamber of Commerce crowd. Then, noting that Britain is among those countries poised to begin buying new reactors formajor source of carbon dioxide, blamed by climate scientists as a cause of global warming, which threatens to melt polar ice and cause flooding, among other environmental disasters.

battling organized labor, and nowhere has that been clearer than in the party’s recent assault on workers’ rights. Swept in by a tide of Republican support in 2010, new GOP majorities in state legislatures from Wisconsin to Tennessee to New Hampshire have introduced bills meant to roll back decades’ worth of collective bargaining rights for public-sector unions, the last bastion of organized labor still standing (somewhat) strong.
The political calculus behind the war on public-sector unions is obvious: kneecap them and you knock out a major pillar of support for the Democratic Party. In the 2010 midterm elections, the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) spent nearly $90 million on TV ads, phone banking, mailings, and other support for Democratic candidates. The anti-union legislation being pushedHis eight years at Chelsea have always been thrilling, often turbulent and never dull but Branislav Ivanovic can recall no time quite like the start of this season.
It is a time he regards, from a personal point of view, as one of the lowest moments of his career, and he reflects on it with disarming honesty.
Perhaps it is easier to look back as things fall into place again and pride is restored. Chelsea are climbing the Premier League, anticipating a big Champions League night and an FA Cup quarter-final.

He was so nice, so good. But in football things change. Ivanovic revealed he would like to have finished his career playing under Carlo Ancelotti Andre Villas-Boas It was different. Everyone here was comparing him with Jose. For the guys who didn’t work with Jose before it was something new, a new style of training, a new philosophy.

In reality, it has for over a century constituted an overreaching desire to achieve and maintain global hegemony.
And where US efforts focus on achieving hegemony, division and destruction follow. From the Middle East to Eastern Europe, and from Southeast Asia to the Korean Peninsula, US intervention politically or militarily all but guarantee escalating tensions, uncertain futures, socioeconomic instability and even armed conflict.
The Middle East and North Africa
US efforts in the Middle East since the conclusion of the first World War have focused on dividing the region, cultivating sectarian animosity and pitting neighbors against one another in vicious, unending combat. During the 50s and 60s, the US pitted its regional proxy, Israel,

drive instability. Joint military exercises with South Korea often and openly serve as rehearsals for “decapitation” strikes against the North Korean government, fueling North Korean paranoia and provoking continued posturing on both sides. In short, the US presence serves to intentionally keep the neighboring states pitted against one another, undermining, not bolstering regional stability.
A similar strategy of tension is being played in the South China Sea where the US has for two presidencies now attempted to provoke China both directly and through the use of Japanese, Vietnamese and Philippine tensions to contest and curtail Beijing’s growing military deterrence.
The endgame in the South China Sea for China is to eventually push the United States out of the region, reducing or eliminating its capacity to target China directly, and reduceof 18 games for his team and averages 9:56 of ice time when he does play.
While Byfuglien has played forward for the majority, if not all his time as forward this year, Byfuglien can and has played defence in the past. If I'm not mistaken, he broke into the league as a defenceman, and it's his versatility that makes him a pretty intriguing commodity.
If the Caps want more depth on the backline with a bit of offensive upside to boot, you could do a lot worse than Byfuglien. He's certainly better than Sopel at this point of their careers.

A new Web site is hoping to cash in on gamers willing to pay for the opportunity to play video games online with girls.
GameCrush is being touted as the first social site for adult gamers; women online at the site are able to set their gaming mood to either "flirty" or "dirty," IGN reported. The men online are known as Players and the women as PlayDates, and Players pay to play while PlayDates get paid to play.
Players browse PlayDate profiles -- of which there are currently 1,200 -- view photos, and even chat with girls for free. Once the Player finds a PlayDate he fancies he sends and invite and if she accepts he gets six to ten minutes of one-on-one gaming time. PlayDates have the ability tostill opt to impose the tariffs by May 18, but believe that after a series of investment announcements by automakers - including one by General Motors Co on Wednesday of $700 million in three Ohio plants - he will likely delay the tariffs amid a trade battle with China.
The auto tariffs face wide opposition in Congress. The White House refuses to turn over the Commerce report to Republican Senator Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, who has been demanding to see it.
On Wednesday, 159 House of Representatives members led by Ways and Means Committee Vice Chair Terri Sewell wrote White House National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow to urge him to advise Trump against “imposing trade restrictions that could harm the auto sector and the American

5 years of all English teams (6 for Liverpool) after the Heysel stadium disaster saw AC Milan winning two straight European Cups at the end of the decade. This was then followed by a decade of dominance by Italian teams in the revamped Champions League, with Milan and Juventus reaching the finals on multiple occasions and winning a few of them. Italian teams also dominated the Uefa Cup and was unquestionably the best league in the world.<br />Italian football is the root of its own downfall. Dilapidated stadiums, poor crowd attendance, racism spewed at their own players, and scandals take away from the beauty of its football. The media can’t be blamed, as with the fall of the Italian game came the rise of the Spanish game notwithout play. However, in conventional guide rails substantial play may be caused by various factors, such as manufacturing tolerances in the tentering clamps, varying on-center spacings between the vertically oriented axes of the guide rollers, manufacturing tolerances in the thickness of the rolled spring steel tapes and other unavoidable influences. As a result, such play may occur between the guide rollers and the guide rail. Such play has the disadvantage that the guide rollers of the tentering clamps do not always contact the guide rail as they travel along the guide rail, whereby these rollers do not rotate constantly. This does not apply to the upper support rollers which, due to gravity, remain in contact with the respective guide rail.

change in the offseason is never easy, but Luke guided the Rebels to a 6-6 finish and defeated rival Mississippi State that year. The six-win season was enough for Luke to be awarded the full-time job at his alma mater. Ole Miss was banned from postseason play last season and finished 5-7 with just one victory in SEC action. Luke is 11-13 overall and 4-12 since taking over as head coach in Oxford. The former Ole Miss lineman took steps to move this program forward this offseason by hiring Rich Rodriguez as the offensive play-caller and Mike MacIntyre as the defensive signal-caller.
13. Jeremy Pruitt, Tennessee
After successful stops as a defensive coordinator at Florida State, Georgia and Alabama, Pruitt (after an extended search in Knoxville) was athletic director Phillipyears of Muschamp’s tenure. The program has made strides overall since his arrival in 2016, but South Carolina’s record in SEC play is just 12-12 since 2016. This is Muschamp’s second stint as a head coach in the SEC. He led Florida to three winning records and a 28-21 mark from 2011-14. He also has stops as a defensive coordinator at LSU, Auburn and Texas prior to becoming a head coach. Can Muschamp elevate South Carolina with Georgia and Florida on the rise in the SEC East? That’s the big question looming in the next couple of seasons.

Kentucky was the biggest surprise in the SEC last season, as Stoops guided the program to its first double-digit win total (10) since 1977. The 10-win campaign pushed

stories deal with these ideas as well such as The Concentration City and Billenium which are about the problems of over-crowding and lack of space. In The Concentration City the urban world literally seems to go on forever and in Billenium people have been forced to live in small cellular cubicles to deal with over population.
A theme that takes place throughout all of Ballard's work is a depiction of an isolated individual, usually a scientist, who is obsessively investigating a strange occurrence and leads towards the individual losing his grasp with reality.
Manhole 69 is about an experiment to eliminate sleep, but it goes horribly wrong and ends with the subjects suffering from catatonic seizures. The mind cannot endure continual consciousness and reacts by shutting down. The subjects couldno longer contain the idea of their own identity.
The Voices of Time is about a researcher who studies Sleepers - people who lapse into a coma after going through a period of shorter and shorter wakefulness. The story is quite complex and includes references to the Nuremberg Trials, Albert Einstein and philosophy about the meaning of the Universe.
In The Terminal Beach a man who is having trouble coming to terms with the early death of his wife and son goes to live on an island that was once used for testing nuclear weapons. He goes through a mental and physical decline while having hallucinations of his wife and son within the decaying structures of the island.
Ballard was also influenced by the pictorial surrealism of Salvador Dali, Max Ernst,

Paul Delvaux, and Yves Tanguy. Ernst's silent forests and swamplands, weathered scenery, and gnarled post-apocalyptic detritus parallel the landscapes of Ballard's early disaster fiction. An earlier copy of the short story collection The Terminal Beach is adorned by Dali's Nuclear Cross. Ballard makes references to the surrealists in his writings and was interested in psychological landscapes. He identified with how the surrealists projected the mind's iconography.
Perhaps my favorite early story is The Drowned Giant. A giant human body washes ashore and after an initial shocking wonderment people start to climb over the body and vandalize and remove parts until it is completely dismembered. After all traces of its existence has been removed people start to wonder if the giant ever existed at all.
Ballard also was a collector ofthe "invisible literature" of technical manuals, company reports, and medical journals and owned a book of black box flight recordings. This influence started to inform his writings as well and in 1970 he produced The Atrocity Exhibition which was an experimental collection of condensed novel fragments or deconstructed short stories. The stories/chapters describe how the mass media invades and splinters the private mind of the individual, surrendering to a world of psychosis. Public events have personal meaning and the inner and outer landscapes merge together causing life and the world to become a vast geometric equation.
The Atrocity Exhibition was a major new direction in Ballard's work and was influenced by the cut-up novels of William Burroughs especially Naked Lunch. There is no beginning or ending to the book

and does not adhere to any conventional novelistic standards. The protagonist changes his name with each story/chapter (Travis, Traven, Talbot) and his role and visions of the world around him seem to be in constant flux. The central character is suffering from a mental breakdown and is ironically a doctor at a mental institution. He tries to make sense of the many public events that dominate his world including Marilyn Monroe's suicide, the Space Race and especially the assassination of JFK, by restaging them in his mind giving them a more personal meaning. There is a blurring between what is real and what is imagined. His ultimate goal is to start World War III, but the war will be fought entirely within his own mind.
Many of the piecesin The Atrocity Exhibition were initially released independently and they include titles like Notes Towards a Mental Breakdown, Plan for the Assassination of Jacqueline Kennedy, The Assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy Considered as a Downhill Motor Race, and Why I Want to Fuck Ronald Reagan. With titles like these the book met with much controversy especially when it was released in the US in 1972.
Why I Want to Fuck Ronald Reagan was written in the style of scientific paper and catalogues a series of strange experiments to measure the psychosexual appeal of Ronald Reagan, who at the time was the Governor of California and candidate for the 1968 Republican presidential nomination.
Ballard was inspired by the new phenomenon of media politicians and felt Reagan used the teleprompter-perfect tones of

the TV auto-salesman to project a political message that was far from bland and reassuring. A complete discontinuity existed between Reagan's manner and body language and his simplistic far-right message. He felt Reagan was the first politician to exploit the fact that the TV audience wouldn't be listening too closely to what he was saying but would be more impressed by the presentation.
At the 1980 Republican Convention in Detroit a copy of Why I Want to Fuck Ronald Reagan, furnished with the seal of the Republican Party was distributed by a revolutionary group to RNC delegates. According to Ballard, it was accepted for what it resembled: a psychological position paper on the candidate's subliminal appeal, commissioned by a think-tank.
Ballard published the novel Crash in 1973. The book wasshocking and controversial as it is about symphorophilia in which sexual arousal hinges on the staging and watching of a disaster such as a fire or in this case auto accidents. The characters in Crash have a sexual obsession with car crashes.
The narrator is James Ballard, but it centers on the sinister figure of Vaughan a former TV scientist, turned nightmare angel of the expressways. Ballard meets Vaughan after being involved in an auto crash near the London Airport. Vaughan leads a group of alienated former crash victims, who follow his pursuit to re-enact the crashes of celebrities, and to experience a new sexuality born from a perverse technology. Vaughan's ultimate fantasy is to die in a head-on collision with the movie star Elizabeth Taylor.
Crash explores such themes

as the transformation of human psychology by modern technology, and consumer culture's fascination with celebrities and technological commodities. The characters in Crash are cold and passionless and cannot be sexually aroused unless some form of technology is involved. Car crashes are not shocking but seen as a form of liberation to explore new sexual possibilities.
Crash asks why do we as an enlightened society accept a perverse technology that kills vast numbers of people a year as such an integral part of our culture.
David Cronenberg made an interesting film adaptation of Crash in 1996.
Ballard followed this with Concrete Island (1974) which is a twisted adaptation of Robinson Crusoe. After a car crash Robert Maitland, a wealthy architect, finds himself stranded in a manmade island, a fenced off wasteland inthe middle of crossing motorways. He is forced to survive on what is only in his crashed Jaguar and what he is able to find. As his condition degrades, his sanity is threatened. He finds companions on the island and contemplates staying there and forsaking his former life.
In 1975, Ballard published High Rise which takes place in an ultra-modern luxury high-rise building. It has all the conveniences of modern life such as swimming pools, its own school, supermarkets, and high speed elevators. At the same time the building seems designed to isolate the occupants from the larger world outside. As time goes on the society in the high rise disintegrates into divisions, chaos, and violence, and the tenants shut out the outside world, abandon their responsibilities, and stay

indoors permanently losing their sense of time. As he did in Crash and Concrete Island, Ballard offers a vision of how modern life and technology could warp the human psyche into unexplored ways.
The novel The Unlimited Dream Company (1979) concerns the story of a man named Blake who crashes a stolen aircraft in the River Thames outside the London suburb of Shepperton. He becomes a supernatural messiah for the small community, but whether this is real or he is imagining it as he is dying is not totally clear. He has extraordinary powers as he can fly and heal sick people, but he cannot leave the suburbs. He is obsessed with the small Cessna aircraft that he crashed in and remains submerged in the Thames. He goes througha transformation and becomes more human as time goes on. The book draws from the works of William Blake.
With Hello America (1981), Ballard produced a more conventional science fiction novel about an expedition to a North America that has been rendered uninhabitable by an ecological disaster. The book is a parody of American Culture with references to Jerry Brown, Charles Manson, and self-impovement. In the end it is implied that Europe needs America as a place where the darker elements of the Western mindset can be allowed to play themselves out without inconveniencing decent people.
Ballard took another major change of direction with the publication of his auto-biographical novel Empire of The Sun in 1984. While it is a work of fiction it draws on Ballard's experiences of being

interned in a Japanese prison camp during World War II. The story follows a wealthy young British boy who lives with his parents in Shanghai. After Pearl Harbor the Japanese move in and Jim is separated from his parents. He spends time surviving in abandoned mansions and living on packaged food, but is eventually found by the Japanese and interned in the Lunghua Civilian Assembly Center. Towards the end of the war, with the Japanese army collapsing and food running short he witnesses death and atrocities and barely survives. Eventually, he is reunited with his parents, but he is now changed and affected by his experience. Steven Spielberg made the book into a film in 1987.
In 1991, Ballard released another autobiographical novel called The Kindness of Women. Eachsection deals with a woman or women from certain periods of his life. It starts off in Shanghai and covers some of the same terrain as Empire of The Sun. In one scene he witnesses a murder of a Chinese clerk by a Japanese soldier at a railway station in which he is powerless to do anything. When the book moves into the later sections it becomes fascinating and revealing as to how Ballard's life experiences affected his literature. At one point in his life he studied medicine and the woman he is obsessed with is the cadaver he is dissecting. After leaving medical school he goes to a Nato training school for pilots in Canada and has drunken encounters with prostitutes and is obsessed with the death

of one of the other pilots. Ballard and his friend feel they will eventually participate in World War III. In another section he tells of shocking early death of his wife and having to raise his three children by himself. The Kindness of Women is about sex and death. There are many sexual encounters described with a clinical precision. There are references throughout the book to the events of the day, including the Vietnam War and the Kennedy Assassination. He writes about the experimentation with drugs in the 60s and the intrusion of the camera lens into our lives. There is even a section that reveals how Ballard became obsessed with auto accidents.
In his later short stories, Ballard combines his life-long obsessions with the various literary techniques heexplored throughout his writing career. The Air Disaster is about a journalist who is trying to find an airplane that crashed in a mountainous region, but through his search you start to wonder if it actually happened. The Dead Time is an autobiographical story suggested by Ballard's release from a Japanese prison camp at the end of World War II and was a precursor to Empire of The Sun. Having A Wonderful Time is written in the form of postcards and chronicles the story of a young couple who vacation in the Canary Islands, but their flight home is continually cancelled until it becomes clear that they - along with other families - will never be allowed to return home, and have been forever exiled.

of World War III depicts a world where the public is so obsessed with the health of Ronald Reagan that they miss World War III which begins and ends in three minutes. Message From Mars concerns a group of astronauts who return to earth but refuse to leave their spaceship for some mysterious reason.
Ballard continued to produce novels until his death in 2009, and started to add elements of mystery into his works.
The Day of Creation (1987) is about a doctor in Central Africa who finds a way to bring water to the desolate region and then sees himself as some kind of messiah as his mind spirals into fantasies. Running Wild (1988) concerns a wealthy gated community where all of the adults are murdered by their nowmissing children. Rushing To Paradise (1994) is about a eccentric group of environmentalists led by a messianic doctor who wants to save an island from nuclear tests by the French government. Cocaine Nights (1996) follows a man who goes to Estrella de Mar in order to rescue his jailed brother. He becomes immersed in a dark world and is constantly being manipulated as he thinks he is finding the truth. Super-Cannes (2000) deals with a mass murder at a wealthy closed community. Millenium People (2003) is about a man who investigates the bombing death of his wife at Heathrow Airport. Kingdom Come (2006) deals with the blurry line between consumerism and fascism.
JG Ballard produced a great and unique body of work that reflected the fractured and demented status

A dog that was supposed to be featured in a May Click Magazine article on adoptable pets from Memphis Animal Services (MAS) was mistakenly euthanized before the issue even hit stands.The dog, a five-year-old Rottweiler, was one of 12 pets from MAS to be featured in the magazine's May issue. MAS had agreed not to euthanize the animals that were photographed for that story. But a few days after the dog's photos were taken for the feature, MAS staff overlooked the memo instructing them to hold the dog and he was put to sleep."It was a terrible mistake," said MAS Administrator James Rogers.Beth Spencer, a local animal advocate, contacted Rogers on April 2nd about featuring the cats21st, Rogers sent Spencer an email informing her that the Rottweiler had been euthanized. He said he was investigating what went wrong. The next day, Rogers sent Spencer another email that said there were "extenuating circumstances identified by our staff concerning this pet that we should have communicated with you," and he offered an apology.In an interview with the, Rogers indicated that the dog was put to sleep because it was underweight, had to be muzzled when handled by the vet clinic, and because it was heartworm positive."Heartworms and being underweight are easily treatable and are not reasons to euthanize.

First Round Score: 24
Quincy Pondexter followed Anderson with a solid yet unspectacular performance, much like his efforts in games.
After scoring 2 points on his first rack in the right corner, Q-Pon hit three of his shots on his moneyball rack to bring his totalto 8.
However, those would be the only moneyballs he would hit for the rest of the round.
First Round Score: 15
Once Pondexter finished, the floor stayed quiet for a couple minutes too long. Then out of nowhere, Redbone’s “Come and Get Your Love” started to pulse throughout the Smoothie King Center.
Luke Babbitt emerged from the far tunnel, spinning and strutting to the music all the way up to his first rack. Because everyone in the arena was still stunned at what had just occurred, no one actually managed to capture Babbitt’s round.
As a result, the scorers just had to trust the surprisingly confident Luke’s word.
First Round Score: 20
Jimmer Fredette has struggled from deep so far this season. That cold streak continued on his first two racks, where he only

scored 2 points. After hitting four out of his next five shots (including the moneyball) from the top of the key, Jimmer made history.
He moved the next rack, which was full of moneyballs, 5 feet further back. Now officially in fabled “Jimmer Range”, he knocked down each of his money balls while the crowd was going absolutely bananas.
Unfortunately the fans got a bit too excited, and a group of them carried Jimmer off of the floor before he could finish his round.

Eric Gordon had a great firstgo around. He knocked down at least 3 shots at each rack, including all five at the top of the key. His moneyballs were not there, but he still managed to clinch a spot in the next round.
First Round Score: 22
To close out the opening round, Tyreke Evans took the floor. His request to freeze the shot clock at 19 was granted in hopes he would feel like he was playing in a real game.
With his moneyballs places in the final rack just like Anderson, Tyreke had a lot of time to warm up. Unlike Anderson, he stayed cool and collected, and after four racks he sat at only 11 points.
Evans then split the first four moneyballs before nailing the last one.

Luke Babbitt, Eric Gordon, Tyreke Evans
Since Jimmer Fredette ended up being carried all the way back to his alma matter of Brigham Young University, Evans was granted the tiebreaker for entry in the second round.
During the intermission, Babbitt stole the mic from Pelicans announcer Joel Meyers and guaranteed his victory in front of the entire crowd. Seeing this confidence, Luke was given the luxury of beginning the second round. With confidence basically dripping from his mane, Babbitt managed a solid score.
Second Round Score: 19
Ryan Anderson, who had finally calmed down after his first round adventure, managed to match his point total from the first round. His well balanced effort was a scary sight for the rest of his competitors.
Second Round Score: 24

Eric Gordon put his moneyball rack right at the start, and nailed four of them for a quick 8 points. This rack proved to be enough to help eliminate Babbitt, but still gave Evans a chance.
Second Round Score: 20
Tyreke Evans needed a clutch performance to pass Eric Gordon and make it to the finals. He did not get it, and quite frankly was not close.
He finished with the lowest score of the shootout, and immediately ran off of the court once he finished.

Final Round
Participants: Ryan Anderson, Eric Gordon
The final round was spectacular for both players.
Anderson set the stage by once again hitting every shot in his moneyball rack. Since these came at the start, he kept his rhythm going all the way through.
The crowd seemed to be on Ryno’s side after his impressive showing, but he could only watch his opponent took the floor.
Gordon was tasked with followed up this performance. After a shaky start, Gordon hit 15 shots in a row toend the round. The sad twist was that his second rack was his moneyball rack, where he only knocked down 2 shots.
Final Score: Anderson-27, Gordon-24

Washington, D.C. — In the wake of unprecedented concentration in the agriculture and food sectors, Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) introduced legislation yesterday to place a moratorium on large agribusiness, food and beverage manufacturing, and grocery retail mergers and acquisitions. S. 3404, known as the Food and Agribusiness Merger Moratorium and Antitrust Review Act of 2018, would also establish a commission to review mergers, concentration, and market power in those sectors.
During the past several months, the Organization for Competitive Markets (OCM) has assisted members of Congress with drafting the legislation. OCM expects a companion bill to be filed in the U.S. House of Representatives in the coming weeks.
“We commend Senator Booker for taking this vital step forward. We need Congress to act nowand mergers have allowed three companies to control two thirds of the crop seed and nearly 70% of the agricultural chemical markets. When these acquisitions and mergers were announced it led U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley to call the wave of mergers a “tsunami.”
Over the last three decades, the growth of market concentration and market power has spun out of control. During this period, the four largest multinational corporations have gained control of 71% of the pork market, 85% of the beef market and 90% of the grain market.
The Food and Agriculture Concentration and Market Power Review Commission which would be established by this legislation will develop recommendations to establish a fair marketplace for family farmers and their communities. The commission would be specifically required to review the impact

The man being pursued by police below was allegedly smoking a marijuana cigarette. He was wielding a knife. Cops said he threatened them with it and that they tried to use pepper spray to disarm him. Failing that, after following him down a few city blocks at the heart of Times Square they shot him at least nine times:
I started working in the Times Square area dressing up as Shrek in 2006, before moving on to NBC and then Fox News, both right around the corner too. I walked across Times Square twice a day for about five years as part of my commute, and can say anecdotally that the smell of marijuana in the area is not all that much less common than the smell of, say,street meat. Sometimes you can smell marijuana and see cops from the same location.
Possession of marijuana (with intent only to use) is, technically, decriminalized in New York, and the mayor and police commissioner both said they supported Governor Andrew Cuomo's proposal to also decriminalize "open possession" (which would be the crime for which cops approached the man shot in the video). Cops in New York City have previously been known to induce people they've stopped to display the marijuana they're carrying to avoid a search that would lead to prosecution, and then once the marijuana is shown make an arrest for open possession.
One man says his cell phone was confiscated by police after he recorded the incident.

It's why the team's steady play after scoring first in a 2-0 win over San Jose on Saturday night at Mapfre Stadium was noteworthy. Columbus held a one-goal lead for 50-plus minutes for the first time since April 23 – spanning 17 MLS contests.

Halper is not himself under a Justice Department investigation. Instead, the agency ordered the Office of the Inspector General to investigate the FBI’s use of Halper as a confidential informant to make contact with Trump campaign advisers.
The New York Times reported Friday that Halper was the first to raise concerns about interactions Flynn had with Lokhova at a dinner for CIS, a forum for former intelligenceHiggs boson discovery biggest scientific breakthrough of 2012
London: The capture of the most wanted sub-atomic particle in physics - Higgs boson - has topped the chart of the year's ten biggest scientific breakthroughs. Scientists had been chasing the Higgs boson, nicknamed the 'God particle' for more than four decades.
In July the team from the European nuclear research facility at CERN in Geneva announced the detection of a particle that fitted the description of the elusive Higgs.
The boson is believed to give matter mass via an associated 'Higgs field' that permeates space. Without the property of mass, the universe we live in could not exist. Scientists used the world's biggest atom smashing machine, the Large Hadron Collider on the Swiss-French border, to track down the missing particle.

Higgs boson has topped the chart of the year's ten biggest scientific breakthroughs.
Finding the Higgs topped the list of most important discoveries of 2012 released by Science, a prestigious scientific journal, the 'Daily Mail' reported. "Mass must somehow emerge from interactions of the otherwise mass-less particles themselves. That's where the Higgs comes in," Science news journalist Adrian Cho, who wrote about the discovery in the journal's latest issue, said.
Nine other pioneering achievements from 2012 which made it to the list included sequencing of the DNA blueprint of the Denisovans, an extinct species of human that lived alongside Neanderthals and the ancestors of people living today.
Japanese researchers showing that embryonic stem cells from mice could be coaxed into becoming viable egg cells was hailed as another breakthrough.

SEN. RUSSELL Feingold (D-Wis.) has a problem with all the folks filling vacated seats in the Senate. The issue is not with them personally. Rather, it’s how they got there: not by the will of the people but by the will — or whim — of the governors of their home states. So Mr. Feingold has introduced a constitutional amendment that will put the power to fill Senate vacancies in the hands of voters through a special election.
Thanks to the election of President Obama, who plucked a vice president and two cabinet secretaries from the Senate, governors in Illinois, Delaware, New York and Colorado were tasked with appointing their successors. In some cases the seats have been treated like family heirlooms or — allegedly — like property toNintendo has announced at their latest earnings release for investors that the upcoming Animal Crossing game for mobile devices is facing another delay in release.
Animal Crossing for mobile devices was originally scheduled for release in the fall of 2016, before an updated release timing of before the end of March 2017 was announced in September 2016 alongside Super Mario Run’s reveal. The game has now been rescheduled for sometime in the 2018 fiscal year, which begins in April 2017.
The official statement from Nintendo below cites the need to accommodate their other upcoming mobile games; Fire Emblem Heroes launching on February 3rd, and the Android release of Super Mario Run in March.

Noam Chomsky, Daniel Ellsberg and Icelandic parliament member Birgitta Jonsdottir are among the seven witnesses expected to testify in a New York federal court on Thursday in support of a class action lawsuit against the United States government over controversial provisions in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), a military spending bill they claim threatens American's civil liberties and basic human rights.
U.S. District Judge Katherine Forrest will hear arguments for a preliminary injunction against certain sections of the legislation, which was signed into law on Dec. 31. Buried in the otherwise mundane budget and expenditure bill is a provision under Section 1021 of the law that permits the indefinite military detention, without a formal charge or public trial, of anyone suspected of participating in or aiding a terroristorganization engaged in hostilities against the United States.
Although the bill explicitly states the military detention provision does not apply to U.S. citizens, but only American al-Qaeda members overseas, some critics fear the language could eventually be interpreted to apply to all citizens, something Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., said would be an unprecedented threat to our constitutional liberties.
In December, Udall proposed an amendment to the bill that would have struck down the section authorizing the president to use all necessary and appropriate force to detain people suspected of terrorism. The effort was defeated in a 60 to 38 vote.
Author Chris Hedges, a former New York Times war correspondent, filed the lawsuit -- known as Hedges v. Obama -- against what he says are the law's Homeland Battlefield provisions ,

which he believes could allow for the indefinite detention of journalists who report the views of groups the U.S. government considers to be terrorists.
A Erosion Of Civil Liberties?
If there is no rolling back of the NDAA law, we cease to be a constitutional democracy. Totalitarian systems always begin by rewriting the law, Hedges said this week. They make legal what was once illegal... Foreign and domestic subjugation merges into the same brutal mechanism. Citizens are colonized. And it is always done in the name of national security.
Hedges was eventually joined by several prominent scholars and public figures, including Pentagon Papers source Ellsberg, Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Chomsky, as well as Jonsdottir and Occupy London organizer Kai Wargalla.
The Pentagon Papers, which detailed the U.S. Department of Defense's historyof political and military involvement in Vietnam, is one of the most notorious U.S. security leaks in the last century. Ellsberg, a former U.S marine and military anaylst, leaked the classified documents to the New York Times in 1971. The move is credited with substantially eroding the public support for the Vietnam War.
The feminist scholar Naomi Wolf and civil rights activist Dr. Cornel West are in the process of becoming plaintiff's in the lawsuit. Wolf is expected to read a statement in the court on Thursday.
On Monday federal prosecutors said the plaintiff's position derives from misunderstandings of the NDAA, Courthouse News Service reports. A memorandum filed by the U.S. government insists the NDAA statute in question is not specifically designed to address speech issues, and insist the law

Just in time for the season premiere of NBC’s Emmy award-winning “The Office,” a BYU humanities professor has published research showing how your favorite character from the show is likely based on a centuries-old formula for comedicThai clinical trials registry.
The Thai Clinical Trials Registry (TCTR) was established in 2009 by a group of university academics. The Thailand Center of Excellence for Life Sciences has supported the registry financially, while the basic infrastructure including the administration, staff and computer servers has been provided by the Clinical Research Collaboration Network and the Medical Research Foundation. In December 2010, the Ministry of Public Health of Thailand endorsed the registry. In addition to the major purposes of reducing publication bias, promoting research transparency, and reducing redundancy in clinical research, TCTR aims to create a collective database of the clinical researches in Thailand, in order to help construct a pool database for local researchers.

Resettlement Department
The Resettlement Department () was a department of the Government of Hong Kong, which was responsible for constructing resettlement estates for the homeless refugees. It was established in 1954. In 1973, the Resettlement Department and the Building Section of the Urban Services Department were merged to form the Housing Department, which acts as the Housing Authority's executive body.
History
In December 1953, a major fire destroyed the slum area in Shek Kip Mei and more than 50,000 refugees from Mainland China were made homeless. After the disaster, then Governor Sir Alexander Grantham ordered Ronald Holmes to establish the Resettlement Department and appointed him as the Deputy Colonial Secretary and the first Commissioner of Resettlement. The Resettlement Department was formed from sections of the Public Works Department, the Social Welfareanti–rat IgM (BD PharMingen), and finally anti–IgG1-MB. The cells were passed over a LS column. CC: tonsillar MC were first incubated with anti-CD77, then with anti-CD39 (Beckman Coulter/Immunotech), anti-CD3, and mouse anti–rat IgM, followed by anti–IgG1-MB staining. The cells were passed subsequently over a LS column with G21 needle and a LD column. The resulting flow-through was first incubated with anti-CD10, then with anti–IgG1-MB. CD10+ CCs were isolated using LS columns. Memory B cells: tonsillar mononuclear cells were incubated first with anti-CD10, anti-CD3, and anti-CD38 (BD PharMingen), the latter at a titer of 1:1,000 to facilitate a selective depletion of CD38high plasma cells and GC B cells, then with anti–IgG1-MB and anti–CD14-MB. Labeled cells were depleted using a LD column. The flow-through was first stained with anti–CD27-FITC, then

No. 1 seeded doubles player Prakash Amritraj of the United States meets an incoming ball during theStreet in West Monroe. The victim of the robbery, Mr. Gene Anding, stated that the defendant knocked on his door and asked for "Greg." He told the defendant that there was no Greg at the residence. The defendant turned his back as though leaving, and then he suddenly lunged toward the door, pushing it open and knocking Mr. Anding to the floor. The defendant pounced upon Mr. Anding, placed a knife to his throat, and demanded his truck keys. Mr. Anding relinquished his keys, and the defendant drove off in Mr. Anding's 2001 Ford Ranger pickup. Police at the scene of the crime observed a small cut on Mr. Anding's neck; however, Mr. Anding refused medical treatment for the injury.
Later that evening, the stolen pickup was located by

police in Ruston at a service station/convenience store where the defendant had abandoned it after carjacking another vehicle. Several items had been removed from the vehicle, and the front seat was damaged.[2] Mr. Anding viewed a surveillance tape of the individual suspected of the carjacking at the Ruston convenience store. He identified that individual as the same person who committed the armed robbery. The suspect was later identified as the defendant.
In the early morning hours of July 19, 2006, a Louisiana state trooper working near Opelousas observed a speeding vehicle traveling northbound on I-49. Attempts to stop the vehicle led to a chase during which the vehicle left the interstate highway and crashed into a ditch. The sole occupant, who was later identified as the defendant, ran fromthe vehicle. The defendant was apprehended nearby and then placed under arrest. The defendant gave the arresting officer a false name, but later revealed his true identity. After the trooper learned the defendant was driving a stolen vehicle, he contacted the Ruston Police Department as well as the West Monroe Police Department.
*783 Later that day, a detective handling the investigation obtained a warrant for the arrest of the defendant, traveled to St. Landry Parish, and interviewed the defendant. During the interview regarding the armed robbery, the defendant stated that he arrived in West Monroe two days prior to the incident and that his girlfriend dropped him off at an aunt's house. The defendant denied knowing the victim or using a knife to take the truck keys, but admitted

wrestling with the victim to get the keys. The defendant further stated he left the vehicle at a convenience store where he jumped into another car and left, traveling to south Louisiana. The defendant was transported back to West Monroe where he was eventually charged with armed robbery.
During the investigation of the armed robbery, West Monroe detectives learned that the defendant was the suspect of a carjacking at an apartment complex in a Dallas, Texas, suburb on July 17, 2006. In that incident, the victim was unloading packages from his car when he was approached by a black male who asked about the location of an apartment in the complex. A few minutes later, the victim moved his car. While exiting his vehicle, the same black male reappeared,wielding a whitehandled, 6 to 8 inch knife, and demanded the victim's car keys, wallet, cell phone, and any other keys the victim had. The victim complied, and the black male drove off in the victim's car.
The stolen car was subsequently located in a parking lot in Carencro, Louisiana, where police learned from the defendant's girlfriend, Niki Babineaux, that the defendant drove the vehicle from the Dallas area to Carencro. He told her that he had borrowed the vehicle from a friend. After leaving the vehicle in a parking lot, the defendant and Ms. Babineaux rode in her car to have breakfast. After breakfast, the defendant drove Ms. Babineaux's vehicle while she slept in the vehicle. She stated that she had worked the night before. When she awoke,

incarcerated.
The trial court noted that the defendant was given a chance to address the court during the preparation of the PSI and during sentencing but declined both times. When Officer Greg Bridges attempted to interview him for the PSI, the defendant refused to speak (other than to give his name). The court likewise gave defendant an opportunity to address the court but he declined. As the trial judge reviewed the aggravating circumstances of this case, he determined defendant showed a "troubling" lack of remorse during the proceedings, and he had not accepted responsibility for his actions. He also misled the court regarding the prior felony conviction. The trial judge found there was an undue risk that the defendant would commit another crime during a period of suspended sentencePost navigation
Endfighting at the Federal Reserve
Regional bank presidents of the Federal Reserve have described the ongoing financial policy making of Washington officials as a complete usurpation of authority and an invocation of emergency powers.
The district chiefs’ authority over borrowing costs has been marginalized in the past two months as Chairman Ben S. Bernanke and the Fed Board of Governors in Washington made their own decisions on emergency measures to flood the economy with cash, reports Bloomberg News.
Several former and current regional bank presidents have intimated that they now have little to no influence over the Federal Reserve’s actions and that the central bank has effectively been completely hijacked by high ranking insiders.
“The Board has usurped authority,” said William Poole, former president of the St. Louis Fed and now

He approached with trembling and admiration, and fell down before her upon his knees” (Perrault 4). The entire scene of finding the princess is described with beauty, “gilded gold,” leading up to the most beautiful “sight” of all. The sight of her is a catalyst for his reaction, not anything the passive princess actually says or does. The prince trembles. He is literally brought to his knees by her beauty. These are the same effects that an enemy in war could bring. Her beauty is her power. It is how she, the enchanted, is able to enchant. Unfortunately though, the sleeping woman doesn’tis an example of the dangerous action beauty can bring. This Irish queen has a child of six years and is unaware. The prince used her body in the highest form of objectification, rape. And he even left a note under her pillow letting her know he had been there. This is a clue to find him since he has an identity outside of the castle in which the princess was trapped in sleep. This gives this sleeping beauty a chance to break the passive mold, a chance to act on her own behalf.To find the prince, the queen has a certain clue to his identity, his son. “Whoever was here must be a hero; for the child has gold on his forehead and silver on his poll”

(Curtin 7). The child being beautiful and of royal blood makes the queen proud to be his mother instead of just the simple fact that she is his mother. Here again, the Queen of Lonesome Island shows a break in the mold of domestic motherhood that the other stories showcased. She also breaks the pattern of passiveness. She immediately takes action when she wakes. She seeks out the man who was in her chambers with vengeance and is not afraid to search for answers. This queen has characteristics other than “beautiful.” She is capable of action and really didn’t even need a man to wake her from her slumber (her curse was purely set on periods of time). Still, she does marry the man who entered her quartersNorth Dakota rejected a ballot measure that would have allowed recreational marijuana use. North Dakota became the third state in recent years, after Arizona and Ohio, to reject recreational use.
The strategist said legalization backers have settled on a reliable formula that has generated success at the ballot box. The template includes language allowing adults to grow a small number of marijuana plants in their own home, banning advertising aimed at children and controlling potency of products like edibles that make it to market.

The measures in North Dakota and Ohio did not closely follow that template; the Ohio measure, which did not earn support from the largest groups that back legalization campaigns, went so far as to parade a marijuana leaf mascot — named Bud — around campaign events

Mother of 3 Collapses and Dies After Running Scranton Half Marathon
36 year old Lindsay Doherty collapsed at the finish line
36 year old Lindsay Doherty was rushed to the hospital after she collapsed moments after crossing the finish line of the Scranton Half Marathon. Despite efforts the mother of 3 died a short time after her arrival. An autopsy is planned for later today. A special prayer service for the Scranton woman is planned for 7:30 this evening at St. Paul's Church Penn Ave in Scranton.end at which a feed tube is connected. The feed tube is a flexible, hollow tube for delivering the fluid to the cartridge. The cartridge is hollow and cylindrical and includes an inlet neck at which the opposite end of the feed tube is connected. The inlet neck directs the fluid into the hollow, central cartridge chamber.
A feed screw disposed longitudinally through the center of the cylindrical chamber transports the fluid in Archimedes principle fashion from the inlet to a dispensing needle attached to the chamber outlet. A continuously-running motor drives the feed screw via a rotary clutch, which is selectively actuated to engage the feed screw and thereby effect dispensing. A bellows linkage between the motor and cartridge allows for flexibility in system alignment.

jail. I said even in the courts some people confess before everyone, but they are sent to the jails. Sometimes the judges ask a culprit to take the oath, that I will tell only 'Truth' by making them place their hand on holy books of their respective faith. The irony is that if they prosecute even some of the characters in those holy scriptures could be sent to jail by the judge as per the current law of the land. Every judge is a human being and not a hundred percent a human being with the highest integrity. Finally, Mr Ahmadi said that you need to go to a police station for submitting a First Information Report (FIR), most likely the police who makes FIR, may ask youwith the people with fake promises. If everything is accomplished as per the need, there is no identity for these leaders. A politician representing an underdeveloped area is like super hero and these leaders want to be super heroes always by not developing that area.
Some developments are happening that is mainly because the system is corrupt - that is they get a percentage of commission as a bribe. The interest is in earning extra money, it is the reason for the development and not the intention and commitment of the leaders and system. They might be after bigger irrgation projects, even without assessing the future rainfall pattern, climate change, landuse change, returns on investment etc.

he has given him permission to construct the house. Similarly, my father also suffered for our house permission for three years and later when the files were cleared by the government through payment of extra money, permission was given. A person living in a polluted environment can only smell a bad odour.
# Scriptures
There are many scriptures. Some scriptures are adopted by the religious groups of people. Some parts of scriptures or holy text promote integrity among the followers. Religion is for bringing orderliness and discipline in an otherwise anarchic and chaotic world. Animals don't require religion as they are far better organised and disciplined when compared to the 'intelligent' human beings.
Most of the scriptures are not revised as they are considered holy and for maintaining their sanctity byThis Goddess is revered by many people locally. He made a story, that one day a person came and stole a few vegetables, before he left the field he vomited blood and fell down. He spread the story to the whole village. Now almost no person trespasses into his field to steal anything. Especially the tribal communities have their own belief systems which bring in integrity, order and sustainability.
The constitutions of many countries are respected, but they are also misinterpreted and amended as per the convenience of the majority of the people living in a country. A lawyer and a judge spend considerable time arguing in the courts that is because the interpretation of the written constitution is not so simple.
Constitutions alone do not bring in the integrity,

There are many people in organisations over a period they become parasites. For every work, they want to have assistants, even when the work could be accomplished by oneself. They want all the credit at the cost of others doing the work. Sometimes least knowledgeable but want to lead.

Next day I shared the incident with a person, a regular visitor to the city, he had shown me the big cameras placed on the poles and buildings in every street.

the most criminal acts of a seed company. The government permits that each company selling seeds could have a percentage of seeds which do not germinate for various reasons. But this company tested that almost 99 percent of its seeds were germinating. So to make the farmer buy an additional quantity of seeds, they treat the permissible percentage of seeds in acid and mix with the healthy seeds and sell. No government takes action against the seed companies fraud - for the losses caused to a farmer for no other reason but by the greedy humans.
As a government rule, a percentage of stones, soil, dust and excreta of rats is permitted in the finished rice. If a dealer had relatively clean rice, to gain some additional profit, theyof the estate owner were being tapped by the government. The absconding leader has doubts about his lenience with the government and he is also threatening him. He is in a fix now.
He was commenting about the separatist leader once he was calling him brother and now threatening him. A sorry state of the situation, where a business person has to feed a corrupt political system and also lose the business for not able to continue to cooperate with them.
I saw a leader he was wearing a white colour shirt well ironed with the crease. The shirt was made stiff with starch. On the forehead, there was some vibuthi (auspicious ash). All these things make a person appear like a person with the highest integrity and commitment. We

willing to travel to a place, give odd reasons for not taking a passenger. In the app-based taxi services, they say do you have cash or online payment option. They ask the location of the destination even before the passenger gets into the taxi. These two things they are not supposed to ask, once they input the OTP number, the destination is shown automatically. They don't want the money to go into the account of the company and wanted the passenger to pay upfront, this is related to their agreement with the company and nothing to do with the passenger. Not having change is an excuse to take more money from the passengers when paid in cash. Many times people are annoyed with hired services and also haveIn such a case, instead of making a person lose integrity one should insist on the person outputs as per the timelines.
In many offices, many people listen to music while working. Their mind can go anywhere and come back. The quality of the work delivered is mostly compromised.
Mostly the top leaders in an organisation will have a greater responsibility to deliver the outputs.
I appreciate a driver in an organisation, where for this person the responsibility to take a person from point 'A' to point 'B' can never be compromised. But for a person doing another kind of jobs, where intangible qualitative work is involved the performance could be compromised.

There are some people who believe that they must work for the results and do justice for the honorarium that they are receiving. Such kind of people doesn't require supervision and monitoring. They rarely take leave and strive for the results. They risk their lives while performing their duties. In this world, they are becoming a rare species.
To fight bad and pervade goodness, the good people must work harder than the bad people. The good people living with all the comforts are not motivated as much as the bad people. So the world is turning bad, with very less committed good people emerging.

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Every so often a character so captures the hearts and imaginations of readers that he seems to take on a life of his own long after the final page is turned. For such a character, one book is not enough — readers must know what happens next. Now Dean Koontz returns with the novel his fans have been demanding. With the emotional power and sheer storytelling artistry that are his trademarks, Koontz takes up once more the story of a unique young hero and an eccentric little town in a tale that is equal parts suspense and terror, adventure and mystery — and altogether irresistibly odd.
We're all a little odd beneath the surface...
He's the most unlikely hero you'll ever meet — an ordinary guy withbest friend, Danny, who is afflicted with osteogenesis imperfecta, also known as brittle bones. Odd finds Dr. Jessup's body, but Danny is missing. Since Odd has what he describes as 'psychic magnetism,' he can follow an invisible mental trail, which in this case leads him to his endangered friend. After he finds Danny in a spooky, burned-out Indian casino, it is Odd who becomes the quarry. The beautiful and stunningly evil Datura, aided by two frightening minions, wants to use Odd for his supernatural abilities — and then kill him. Odd's strange gifts, coupled with his intelligence and self-effacing humor, make him one of the most quietly authoritative characters in recent popular fiction."

Several of his books have been adapted into feature films and TV miniseries, including the highly rated Intensity on the Fox Network. The Husband is currently in development as a major motion picture by Focus Features/Random House Films.

The video, taken by an activist for the Israeli human rights group Yesh Din, shows the family of three fleeing to their home in the village of Burin, as the father carries their infant. Four Israeli officers are walking behind the family, and one can be seen throwing what appears to be a stun grenade, despite the couple not appearing to pose any threat. The two parents become startled after realizing what has happened, and begin to pick up their pace.
The incident occurred on Friday, amid protests which were sparked

in the area after Israelis from nearby settlements attempted to enter the village, according to Palestinians cited by Haaretz. Israeli security forces also said a violent demonstration was taking place nearby.
However, border police say the video shows a "partial and edited" portrayal of the events, and that dozens of protesters were throwing rocks at officers near and around the family's house.

They also said that the father had fled with his back to officers, so it was impossible to see he was carrying a baby. "Such a run is characteristic of rioters hurling stones at officers whilst risking their lives and trying to escape in attempt to avoid arrest at any cost. It's needless to say that, had the officers noticed the baby, they certainly would have actedaccordingly," it said.
According to Yesh Din, the incident was one of several similar occurrences on Friday. "At least one tear-gas grenade landed in one of the houses where a large family lives, and several residents suffered injuries resulting from inhalation of gas and smoke," the human rights group wrote on Facebook.
"The soldiers and border police officers continued to fire the tear gas and stun grenades even when the occupants were evacuated to the ambulance," Yesh Din wrote. The group, created in 2005 with the intention of promoting the improvement of human rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, was in the area to monitor the actions of protesters and the response by Israeli forces.
Palestinians cited by Haaretz also said that a tear-gas grenade fell into a school. The ambulance

that arrived at the scene is said to have helped people evacuate the building.
It comes amid increased tensions in the region, which were intensified following US President Donald Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Footage from less than a month ago shows dozens of Israelis, some of whom were masked, throwing stones into the village of Burin. Meanwhile, it was reported a few weeks ago that a Palestinian shepherd had been beaten by a group of masked Israelis who then went on to keep five of his sheep.

The world's first solar sail spacecraft (search) was launched Tuesday from a Russian submarine under the Barents Sea but concern grew about whether it safely reached orbit as hours passed without a signal.
Cosmos 1 (search), a $4 million experiment intended to show that a so-called solar sail can make a controlled flight, was launched at 12:46 p.m. PDT, and initial data reception was followed by silence.
"The news is not good," said Bruce Murray, a co-founder of The Planetary Society (search), which organized the launch.
Data stopped during a pass over a portable ground station on Russia's Kamchatka peninsula at about the time the rocket's final stage would have ignited, mission officials said.
There was no signal on later passes over stations in the Pacific Ocean,

the Czech Republic and two in Russia. None of those passes, however, were optimal for receiving signals.
The U.S. military also did not make radar sightings on the path the spacecraft was predicted to follow if it did enter orbit, mission official Jim Cantrell said. The best pass straight over a ground station was scheduled to occur after 9 p.m. PDT.
Louis D. Friedman, the society's executive director and Cosmos 1 project director, said there had been some ambiguous data from the launch vehicle, making it uncertain whether the initial launch had actually worked properly.
If all went as planned, the spacecraft was to unfurl eight triangular sails, each nearly 50 feet long and just a quarter of the thickness of a trash bag. Controlled flight, achieved by rotating each sailto change its pitch, would be attempted early next week.
Solar sails are seen as a means for achieving interstellar flight by using the gentle push from the continuous stream of light particles known as photons. Though gradual, the constant light pressure should allow a spacecraft to build up great speed over time, and cover great distances.
Such a craft would not have to carry chemical fuel to propel itself through space, and, according to advocates, would eventually achieve greater speed than a traditional spacecraft.
The Planetary Society is a Pasadena-based organization founded by the late astronomer Carl Sagan. The project was also organized by Murray, who is a former director of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and Friedman, a JPL veteran.
Funding came largely from Cosmos Studios of Ithaca, N.Y., a science-based

Base Learmonth. It was later determined that the incident, which caused 106 injuries, 14 of them serious, was the result of a design flaw of the plane's Air Data Inertial Reference Unit and a limitation of the aircraft's flight computer software.
On 1 June 2009, Air France Flight 447, an A330-200 en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris with 228 people on board, crashed in the Atlantic Ocean northeast of the islands of Fernando de Noronha, with no survivors. Malfunctioning pitot tubes provided an early focus for the investigation, as the aircraft involved had Thales-built "–AA" models known to record faulty airspeed data during icing conditions. In July 2009, Airbus advised A330 and A340 operators to replace Thales pitots with equivalents manufactured by Goodrich. Investigators later determinedto reverse the terrible drain on money and talent to London.
London is like ancient Rome, it is worth nothing in itself, all its wealth comes from its exploitation of the world all around it. You may worship London, fear London, make yourself a slave and lover at the feet of Lady London, but some of us out here, lashed by her cruel whip, are planning revolution against her. Just wait till federalisation of England and independance of many parts of the UK like Wales and Scotland, then London will start to fall as surely as Rome collapsing under the weight of its own overextension.
Labor or natural resources don't earn money. Money earns money. You see, it is a vicious cycle. So instead of whining, get some starting capital,

you from the depths of your disgrace, and rearrange your liver to the solid mental grace
Forgive me gentlereaders for being pedantic, but many of the younger people on the internet believe the internet starts and stops with the web, and are unaware of the great history of USERNET.
On USERNET there is a law called Godwin's Law, that when someone mentions Hitler or Naziism in a thread, the conversation has degenerated into uselessness. There is a corallary to Godwin's Law about Heinlein, once Heinlein is mentioned, socialists uncomfortable with his advocacy of individualism get uncomfortable, and soon Hitler or Naziism will be mentioned.
My point being, Starship Troopers is a book written by Robert Heinlein, and thus might be a nickname that can be construed to have trollish tendencies. PerhapsBears Ears National Monument will shrink by 90 percent, and the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument to half its original size, President Trump announced today. The land remaining in these Utah monuments will be divided into multiple smaller sections — an unpopular move that could open once-protected land to fossil fuel extraction and put sacred sites and local species at risk. Native American tribes and conservation groups are preparing to fight back in court.
Outside the Utah State Capitol today, President Trump said that he will cut Bears Ears National monument in southeastern Utah — from 1.35 million acres to 228,784 acres, according to a White House statement. The remaining scraps will be sliced into two different sections named Indian Creek and Shash Jaa. Grand Staircase-Escalante will shrink to 1,006,341

PIFF was launched in 1987 and has been held every two years since 1990.
It began life as the Pyongyang Film Festival of Non-Aligned and Other Developing Countries, but selection has been gradually broadened since 2000 to include entries from Britain, France and elsewhere.
The actual selection process is opaque -- none of the attending foreign delegates were able to shed much light on how it worked -- and is in the hands of the Korea Film Export and Import Corp. (KorFilm) which controls theatrical distribution in North Korea.
The vice head of KorFilm, Kim Jae-Hyok, said the organising committee, of which he is chairman, looked for films that "reflected the mission of the festival which is self-reliance, peace and friendship".
"We do not select films that criticise another country," he toldAFP.
- Hollywood ban -
While ostensibly open to entries from anywhere, there are clear exceptions. US and South Korean movies have never been shown -- a ban that Kim made clear was not about to be lifted anytime soon in the current diplomatic climate.
"Hostile countries including South Korea and the United States are imposing sanctions on us and not looking for cultural exchange," he said.
"This year, there have been attempts to derail the hopes and aspirations of many filmmakers around the world who are trying to take part in our festival, by sanctions and other means," he added, without elaborating.
"Cultural exchange" is something of a buzzword at PIFF, given that it cannot begin to match the likes of Cannes or Berlin in terms of offering selected films global exposure

drew a very favourable audience response.
Some 60 films from 20 countries were shown at this year's PIFF, with 12 features in the main competition, including entries from Britain, Poland, Russia and North Korea.
The total number was down from previous years -- a decline delegates attributed to the country's growing diplomatic isolation after international sanctions were tightened in the wake of nuclear tests on January 6 and September 9.
The top prize, the "Torch Award" went to the North Korean feature "The Story of our Home" about a young woman who devotes herself to caring for orphans.
- No sex please? -
The selection shared common themes of cooperation and overcoming adversity, "and it goes without saying that there was really no sexual content", said Hulse.

Ruth was a movie star enthusiast (Elizabeth Taylor & Richard Burton topped her list)! She loved music and played guitar, piano, and organ. She enjoyed a wide range of music from Gospel to Country to Contemporary. Back in the day, Ruth lived to travel and shop! Her life always revolved around the latest fashions, cosmetics, and hairstyles!
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband Richard (Dick) Bowes; a sister, Evelyn Gertrude Rodgers; and a brother, Howard Oliver Wescott.

An electronic nose system to control the processing of dry-cured Iberian ham is presented. The sensors involved are tin oxide semiconductors thin films. They were prepared by RF sputtering. Some of the sensors were doped with metal catalysts as Pt and Pd, in order to improve the selectivity of the sensors. The multisensor with 16 semiconductor sensors, gave different responses from two types of dry-cured Iberian hams which differ in the feeding and curing time. The data has been analysed using the PCA (principal component analysis) and backpropagation and probabilistic neural networks. The analysis shows that different types of Iberian ham can be discriminated and identified successfully.

Synopsis:Servalan continues to rule the day. Avon is now under her control and is reluctantly working to expand her personal empire. The rest of crew is hunted from system to system in their badly damaged ship.
None of them are willing to accept defeat though and soon they are all fighting back.
Allren was tired of the Justice crew always saying, "Avon could have done it." For a man none of them trusted, they certainly had a high opinion of him. At least the ship was back to one hundred percent now and they could drop Ture and him off. Ture and Allren were tech mercenaries Argus had commissioned to help break into the Advanced Medical Research facility on Tingash in the Singoa system; a mission which had gone horriblywrong.
They had fallen into a Federation trap shortly after entering orbit. Surrounded by eight Federation assault vessels, they had barely escaped with their lives. If it hadn't been for Avon's new sopron mirror projector, they would not have escaped at all. As it was, the ship had been badly damaged and they had been hounded from sector to sector ever since, never being able to stay in one place long enough for full repairs or to recharge the energy banks. The Federation was nothing if not ruthlessly persistent.
The tactical skill of Argus, with ORAC's assistance and Jenna's flying skill had gotten them out of one difficult situation after another but without Avon's sopron projector, even with their skills, it would have been impossible to survive.
Now it had broken

down.
Fortunately, after seven weeks, the pressure had relieved somewhat; they hadn't run into any Federation ships for almost five standard days. The autorepair had finally been able to complete repairs. They were currently in Sector Eight on the outer rim hiding inside an asteroid belt while the energy banks recharged.
Allren had made an attempt at repairing the sopron projector but to no avail, other than the burnt out circuits which he was able to replace, there was also technology he was totally unfamiliar with. It had an organic feel to it which was completely alien to him. He had made an effort at fixing it but without understanding what made it work, he was afraid he had made it worse.
Allren came down the steps onto the flight deck;Jenna and Vila were at their control stations. It was Argus's rest cycle. Cally was not in evidence and neither was his mercenary friend Ture; they were probably together again. These days the two of them seemed to go off together a lot. Allren sighed, he was glad that Ture had found some female companionship. The computer analyst had always been anti-social at best, except with his other hacker friends, Allren had been the exception; they had both served together in the same tech group of the Federation Assault Forces and had deserted together.
"Anything interesting happen while I was asleep?" he asked.
"Nothing on the scanners," Jenna told him.
"I beat Jenna ," Vila replied. He was referring to the game of three-dimensional Marsian checkers they had been playing hours

the initial steps during the visits from Sester, it had not been difficult. With the schedule they were forcing him to work, he was already constantly exhausted both in mind and body. He was testing Sester's response, and to what extent Servalan trusted the psychostrategist. He knew Sester would be suspicious, and Servalan definitely would be, but they were playing this game on many levels, and his two opponents did not know which ones were the important ones for him.
He grimaced as a stab of pain originated from his back, with the constant stress they were putting him under; it was starting to become a major problem.
In addition, his body was covered with a mass of bruises from the constant abuse by the guards; they would never lethim forget that he had killed one of their own. Because the injuries were not ones inflicted by the interrogators, they were left untreated, which the guards knew very well. They were very good at inflicting pain which did not leave a visible mark, and injuries which were not serious enough that a medtech would be forced to report it to be actioned.
A group of four entered the room, three men and a woman. The guards pushed in several anti-grav carts full of equipment behind them.
Finally.
Avon recognized one of them, an older tanned man who walked stiffly, and whose eyes had a perpetual squint, which always made it look like he was deep in thought. It was Professor Ekron, he had been here before, his area of specialty

was advanced propulsion theory. The professor tended to be the typical absent-minded academic; but he also had the added faults of a superior attitude towards anyone who could not catch up to his mental speed and jealousy towards those who could.
The first time Ekron had worked with Avon, he had not liked being ordered to seek the help of someone who was clearly a criminal; but he had come to grudgingly respect the analyst's mind and abilities, especially since the prisoner did not appear to be any threat to him and only served to advance his career.
The other three from the research group looked at the prisoner with a mixture of curiosity and suspicion. Normally Avon worked alone but occasionally others were brought in who were essential tothe project he was assigned to. They were all given specific instructions before being allowed into the facility, and were sworn to secrecy. None of the project teams ever knew his identity and they were all warned against trying to find out anything about him. There was to be no interaction on a personal level at all.
Ekron made introductions.
"This is Professor Tyler, her fields are advanced energy phase physics and time distort theory." The woman nodded at the introduction; she looked at the prisoner warily. There was nothing remarkable about her face, but her eyes were sharp; it was clear that she had assessed the situation and was sceptical at the benefits of being here.
Brena Tyler was a well respected scientist, the project they would all be working

on was a result of her landmark work in the application of phase physics to the highly classified field of time distort theory. The reason why they were all here was because they had reached an impasse in their research. There were some major design flaws in the application of the theories which had caused some unfortunate, and spectacularly large accidents. The scale of the accidents themselves had pointed to great potential in the basic design concepts, but Tyler and the two engineers had been at an impasse for over two years, and had only been able to make limited progress.
After his success at using the prisoner in his own project, Professor Ekron had suggested to his superiors that the analyst would be invaluable in helping Professor Tyler'sresearch team. Of course, the fact that his name would also be attached to a project which was both lucrative and of high importance to the Federation, was also a factor in his suggestion.
Both professors wore the standard white lab coats.
"These two are Senior Engineers Delan and York. Their area of expertise is advanced flight engine design." These two wore the dark blue coveralls marking them as Federation ship engineers. Between them Delan and York knew the details of every flight engine in the Federation's fleet.
York was a tall, willowy man; an engineer by trade but was really a frustrated scientist at heart. He had a natural ability to bridge the gap between theory and practical design. He had a gentle manner which did not characterize the typical

had been impressed with the prisoner's grasp of the subject matter. Even though he had only been given a abbreviated briefing of the theories and research they were going to be using, it was clear that he had an instinctive grasp of the problems involved and the wider implications.
Tyler was curious about this nameless prisoner and found it increasingly difficult to not treat him as a human being. At first it was his intelligence which fascinated her, a brilliance which she had reluctantly admitted, surpassed her own; Tyler herself was ranked as a genius in her own field. Even though he never interacted with any of them on a personal level, there was still a lot she could tell about him from his work, and from the waysskill he was using, she could appreciate the enormity of the task they had set him. "Do you know the amount of time it would take you to do it manually?" she asked him.
"I don't have a choice," he replied. Without another word, he cleared the table and began building the model using paper and stylus. He already knew that it was impossible, that was what he was counting on.

Authorities Confirm 3 Dead In Plane Crash
MOOREFIELD, W.Va. (AP) — Three Pennsylvania residents who were on board a plane that crashed in eastern West Virginia are dead, officials said Friday.
An observer with the West Virginia Civil Air Patrol spotted the plane in a mountainous area of Hardy County while flying with a State Police helicopter pilot Thursday night, said air patrol spokesman Jeff Schrock.
Ground search teams then reached the crash site and confirmed the fatalities, said Paul Lewis, Hardy County emergency management director. A state medical examiner was at the scene, and Lewis said officials with the National Transportation Safety Board were expected before noon Friday.
The Piper PA-32 Saratoga went missing Sunday night as it was heading to Johnstown, Pa.
It dropped out of radio and radar contact inbad weather about 12 miles southeast of the Grant County Airport in Petersburg.
Family members have identified those on board as pilot Michael Garrone of Allegheny Township, Pa., 52-year-old Chas Armitage Jr. of Parks Township, Pa., and his girlfriend, 49-year-old Laura Stettmier.
Garrone’s cousin, Robbie Dyett Hefflin of Terrell, Texas, said the pilot’s sister told the rest of the family that all three died on impact. David Garrone, the pilot’s brother, helped with the search, which lasted four days in the rugged, remote mountains of Hardy, Grant and Pendleton counties.
Hefflin took comfort in knowing all the victims had been found so they can be returned to their families for goodbyes. Of her cousin, she added, “I know his spirit can fly and have peace in knowing that this one man

using one third the wall thickness of the geometric cube. The '106 tank further significantly reduced the velocity of the fluid, reduced the energy transmitted to the tank and reduced the forces transmitted by the fluid to the tank causing substantially less deformation of the tank compared to the geometric cubic tank.
It was further determined, however, that the '106 configured tank did not prove suitable to handle large capacities of LNG in a large LNG carrier environment.
A further need has developed for the efficient storage and transportation of compressed natural gas (CNG) over land and sea. This includes carriers as well as Floating Oil/CNG Processing and Storage Offshore Platforms (FOCNGPSO) and floating CNG Processing and Storage Offshore Platforms (FCNGPSO). Several systems have been developed including the EnerSea Transportand spent the rest of his life around Colorado.
Finding that Golden was not a landholder in the town, some historians later speculated it might not have been named for Golden, but instead after gold. However, a 1904 account written by George West, who helped lead the town's organization, proves the town was indeed named for the Colorado pioneer.

The case for recess
How sad that some elementary-school principals find no value in recess for young students. For centuries, the notion that a healthy body is necessary for a healthy mind has been accepted by most educated people.

SECRET OF MANA ODDITIES:
Nudity, Nekos, & the Mysterious Face on Mars Hidden Nudity The Mystic Book enemies (found in the Ice Palace) and the National Scar enemies (found in the Grand Palace and the Mana Fortress) are both flying spellbooks that occasionally land, flip through their pages, and cast a spell based on the page they land on. However, every once in a great while, they'll "accidentally" land on a nude centerfold spread of a woman lying on her belly. This causes the books to become visibly "embarrassed" as they nervously flip to the correct page. This is absolutely 100% true and can be seen on any copy of the game. Here is a screenshot and an enlarged picture of the National Scar: I've heard that the NationalScar was called a "Porno Book" in the Japanese version, although even if that's the case, this bit of trivia is true of both the National Scar and Mystic Book. In fact, it seems you're more likely to get a glimpse of this easter egg with the Mystic Books because there are more of them around, increasing the odds of one turning to this page. It is not clear how this made it past the Nintendo censors and into the American version of the game. Since it's somewhat-rare that the books land on this page, it's possible they never saw it and thus were unaware of its existence. Or perhaps they just allowed it anyway. After all, nudity was no stranger to NES and SNES games by the

over. Perhaps the Ice Palace was once part of the city. This would be fitting, since Lorim was the town in Final Fantasy Adventure that was frozen in ice by Kary. It's even possible that both of these theories are correct and after Lorima was destroyed by the Empire, what was left became frozen in the Ice Country. 3. Lorima could have also been the "advanced civilization" spoken of in the intro (hey, they had missiles!), and the Ancient City is now all that's left of it. Other Random References The boy pulling the sword from a stone in the beginning of the game is very much like the Arthurian legend in which Arthur pulls a sword (sometimes Excalibur, sometimes a different sword depending on the version ofthe story being told) from a stone, thereby proving himself to be the true King of England. The Level 4 version of the sword in Secret of Mana is even called "Excalibur". The idea of a continent with advanced technology and civilization that was sunk beneath the ocean when the people did something to anger the gods (in this case, the creation of the Mana Fortress) is very similar to the legend of the lost continent of Atlantis. Alternate Method of Getting the Girl There are two ways of getting the Girl character to join your party. Normally, as you travel south from the Water Palace in the beginning of the game, a cutscene will occur in which the Boy is caught by Goblins and put in a

talk to Jema and Luka to play out the cutscene there. When you leave, Dyluck and his Soldiers will be gone. If you safely pass by the area where the Goblins would've normally attacked with nothing happening, now things will play out a little differently in Pandora. The Girl will not join you. She'll run away instead, and now you'll be able to enter the room in which her father, Elman, was planning her marriage. You can now see her "fiance", who has the same sprite as Elliot (creepy!), and he'll leave the room with his father after you talk to them. Talk to Elman, then go talk to Jema and the King of Pandora in the throne room. Leave the castle and go to Elman's house inall of its passengers are zombies. A similar idea would show up again in Final Fantasy 6 when Sabin and Cyan board a Ghost Train in the Phantom Forest. Another more recent game that featured a train full of undead zombies is Capcom's Resident Evil Zero for the Nintendo Gamecube. Wandering Neko Neko is a talking cat and peddler of wares that travels all around the world. You'll meet up with him many times throughout your adventure. He likes to make cat-related puns, such as "Purr-fect weather" and "I love meow-tain climbing". Here are screen captures of every Neko rendezvous point:

altogether, only to land there and (DOH!) realize it's just that stupid resort again. Site reader Stu writes to inform us, "While riding the Flammie, I noticed that there are sparkly gold houses outside of Gold Isle. The turtle island has one, and Kippo Village has one, too. I assume the turtle island one may be a suggestion for where to get the Sea Hare's Tail, but there's really nothing of interest in Kippo Village, so I have no idea what that's about." I noticed the sparkling house in Kippo Village before, but when I landed there, my best guess was that the movement was meant to represent the houses with the watermills. However, there are houses with watermills in Pandora and Mandala that are not represented byAnd Then We Work for God : Rural Sunni Islam in Western Turkey, Kimberly Hart, (ebook)

For many people, Marcus du Sautoy might just be the most recognisable face in modern mathematics (although Carol Vorderman fans may disagree with this assertion!). He writes regularly for several national UK newspapers, is a frequent guest on the BBC and is about to release his fifth book. He has also taken mathematics to some more unconventional places, including the Glastonbury festival, the Royal Opera house and the Barbican. His academic work focuses on number theory and group theory, something that he says appeals to him due to its inherent structure, and because once you have the right idea “it kind of runs itself”. This love for big ideas and the story of mathematical discovery will be familiar to anyone who has ever seen him enthusiastically explain oneTimes was on the awarding of a Fields medal to Efim Zelmanov. It was sent back by the editor, who chastised him for leaving his “best story” (about the death of Évariste Galois, shot in a duel with a mysterious love rival at the age of 20) to the end of the piece.

From this, he learned the need to grab and hold the reader’s attention, to convince them to continue reading your article. Later, he came to understand the power of graphics when he wrote an article in the Times on the Riemann Hypothesis, the first of many of du Sautoy’s explorations into this longstanding mathematical problem. Despite the fact that he feels mathematics isn’t “naturally visual”, his article,

The law has also caught up and rightly so with this trade. There are
restrictions on the sale and trade of endangered species. The US and the
UK, in my opinion have the most comprehensive sets of legislation currently
in force. Again these can be researched easily and comprehensively on the
internet.
My suggestion to those who are seeking to begin to collect taxidermy is
firstly:
• To understand the laws governing the trade
• Seek out good exponents of the art form
• Make sure that the Victorian taxidermy items purchased are no infected with insects
• Research both dealers and collectors on the internet and when confident go
to specialist auction, eBay and purchase from private taxidermy collectors.

She concluded with an even more dire summary:
It is harder and harder to live the American dream in this country. Wages are stagnant, mortgage defaults are rising now, 47 million Americans are without health insurance. This is what America's policy makers have achieved.
Romans listed a number of Americas problems, including poverty, out-of-wedlock births, and low high school graduation rates among minorities. After that, she brought in former Clinton Secretary of Labor Robert Reich to spread even more gloom without mentioning that Reich was one of those same policy makers she was criticizing.
