Rough Seas for Obama
On March 31, President Obama announced a new policy toward offshore drilling off the Mid-Atlantic and Florida coastlines. Three weeks later the BP oil platform blew up and sank in the Gulf of Mexico and Obama had to reverse himself.
That wasn't Obama's fault, of course, but it is the kind of thing that happens when Administrations are looking a little shaky. The fact that the broken well is pouring some 5,000 barrels of oil per day into the Gulf isn't Obama's fault, either, but that means some 70,000 barrels of crude are fixing to begin washing up on someone's shore in the next couple of days.
The Administration's insistence that it has been involved in the oil spill "since day one" is coming under some scrutiny.According to the AP's Erica Werner, when Homeland Security Secretary, Janet Napolitano said on "Meet the Press" Sunday that,
"We had (Defense Department) resources there from Day One. This was a situation that was treated as a possible catastrophic failure from, from Day One,"
may have been a bit hyperbolic.
Three days earlier, according to Werner, Napolitano had specifically said that "the Defense Department was not yet involved in responding to the spill: 'If and when they have something to add, we'll certainly make that known,' she said."
White House Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, appeared to be pretty sanguine about the whole situation three days after the spill (well beyond what most mathematicians would consider "Day One") when he "seemed to dismiss" suggestions the spill might "affect Obama's plans to open up

(NADDIS).
The NADDIS computer, located in Rockville, Maryland, is described by a Justice Department Web page as a repository of information on "subjects of interest" to the DEA, "consisting of over 3,500,000 individuals, businesses, vessels and selected airfields."
Calatayud has been suspended with pay since August 1999, when he fell under the joint DEA, FBI and Justice Department investigation that ultimately lead to his arrest earlier this month. He is now free on $100,000 bail, and his DEA salary has been suspended.
Triple Check's owner could not be reached for comment. The company was not charged in the indictment. Calatayud's attorney, Douglas E. McCann, did not immediately return a phone call Monday.
"The sale of confidential information by a member of a law enforcement agency jeopardizes the viability of criminal investigations, threatensthe safety of members of the public and undermines the integrity of our entire law enforcement community," said United States Attorney Alejandro Mayorkas in a statement. "The proper response to such an abuse of the public trust is an aggressive prosecution."
If the indictment proves accurate, the case highlights the risks posed by the increasingly large number of government databases that house information on individuals, and are widely accessible with minimal security, says ACLU associate director Barry Steinhardt.
"There's corruption at all levels of government," says Steinhardt. "The more aggregate and searchable a database is, the greater the likelihood that it'll be used, both in authorized ways, and in unauthorized ways that may be criminal."

(Lasker, J.), 808 F.Supp. 1030 (1992), denying the Association's motion for an award of fees and expenses under the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2412 (Supp.1993) ("EAJA"). The Association, a group of homeowners and merchants in Purchase, New York, had sought reimbursement under EAJA for litigation expenses it incurred as one of four parties invoking environmental laws to challenge the planned construction nearby of a new postal facility for Westchester County, New York. EAJA provides that, in a non-tort civil action between the United States and eligible parties, "a court shall award to a prevailing party other than the United States fees and other expenses ... unless the court finds that the position of the United States was substantially justified or that specialthe United States filed a complaint in condemnation seeking to acquire land owned by the County of Westchester ("Westchester") on which the United States Postal Service ("Postal Service") planned to build a new general mail facility and vehicle maintenance facility. The condemned land, located near the Westchester County Airport, has been referred to by the parties as the "Airport Site." As the district court noted:

The selection of the site generated substantial controversy in response to which the Postal Service published four Environmental Assessments ("EA"s) and two "Wetlands Impact Reports" over the course of nearly two and a half years.

(Newser) – The Vatican yesterday lashed Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi for making a joke about Jews last week that stunned and infuriated his countrymen. The "deplorable" joke "offended the sentiment of believers and the sacred memory of 6 million Holocaust victims," blasted an editorial in the Vatican's official newspaper. Berlusconi cracked that a Jew charged another Jew $4,500 a day to hide him in his basement during the Holocaust. "The Jew paid up because he had the money, but do you think" the other Jew "should tell him that Hitler has died and the war is over?" Berlusconi asked.
The story, told to supporters outside Berlusconi's home, was filmed and posted on the website of the Italian newspaper La Repubblica. Berlusconi has shrugged off the criticism, saying thatReport 768 – Shaving
About two weeks ago, this slut soaked in the tub and dutifully shaved off all of the hideous male hair off her body. There was a lot of it, so she hastened the process with Nair. The Nair burned her nipples, but otherwise did an okay job. A few days later, her Wife complained. She said it was prickly. Nobody likes pricks. Pricks are antithetical to sissies in more ways than one.The slut has now taken to shaving every day. she leaves a small discreet triangle above her sissyclit. After finishing, she lavishes her body with Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion, with special attention to her sissycunt.

(Surat an-Nahl, 68-69)
The verse conveys the message that everything the honey bees do is governed by a "revelation" Allah has given to them. Accordingly, all the "homes", that is, hives - and therefore the entire social order in these hives - and all the work they perform to make honey, are made possible by an inspiration Allah has given them.
When we look at ants, we see that things are no different for them either. Allah has inspired in them a social order also and they abide by it absolutely. This is the reason why each group of ant performs the duty assigned to it perfectly with absolute self-surrender and does not strive for more.
And this is the law of nature. There is no random and coincidental "fight forto explain.
There is no overpopulation problem for ants. While today, the metropolises of man are becoming hard to live in due to migration, lack of infrastructure, misallocation of resources and unemployment, ants can manage their underground cities, with a population of 50 million in a fantastically orderly fashion, without the feeling that anything is lacking. Each ant immediately adapts to changes occurring in its environment. for such a thing to occur, the ants must have certainly been programmed physically and psychologically.
For the emergence of such extremely well organized systems, there has to be a "master will" to give them the inspiration to do their work and to give them orders. Otherwise, great chaos would ensue rather than order. and this master will pertains to Allah, Who owns everything,

(their immediate goal) will encourage the spread of reading programs throughout the country. If these reading programs succeed in turning a large number of our Catholics into readers of "the word," we may witness a return to the proselytizing spirit of those early years, when books were the means by which the Church began to grow, and might now bring that growth to new heights.

A newly assigned Korean priest, commenting on his experiences on Sorok Island with patients having Hansen's disease(non-infectious), was surprised by many things he saw on the island. Every day, about an hour before Mass starts, they come for prayers and the recitation of the rosary. Their bodies and faces are disfigured but their voices are better than one usually hears inthe average congregation. And the man at the organ has not only Hansen's disease, he is blind. But he has the whole of the hymn book memorized and plays from memory.
The priest remembered when he was in the States taking care of a Korean Parish; he attended a Mass that really moved him. A woman sitting with a seeing-eye dog beside her got up, at the time of the reading of the Epistle, to go to the lectern. Being the lector, she was accompanied by one of the ushers. She read from the Scriptures using a braille book and returned to her seat with her dog leading the way. It was another moving experience for the priest who admitted to many others, preparing him for his life on

Trudeau spoke with U.S. President Trump on Friday morning. According to a readout of that call circulated by the Prime Minister's Office, Trudeau told Trump that Canada fully supports the "limited and focused action to degrade the Syrian regime's ability to conduct chemical weapons attacks."
During question period Friday, Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre criticized the Trudeau government for what he said were inconsistencies in the prime minister's response to the Assad regime's use of chemical weapons.
Poilievre noted that Trudeau's comments in New York on Thursday suggested that there were "continuing questions" about who exactly was responsible for the attack, pointing out that Trudeau said the UN Security Council should launch an investigation into who was behind the use of the deadly nerve toxins.
The Conservative MP said the rapid changein positions proves Canada has been "completely out of the loop" on developments in the region.
"Now [Trudeau] says he fully supports the United States' unilateral missile strikes against the Assad regime," Poilievre said in the House."The government's position seems to change with the wind."
Syria responsible says U.S.
Trudeau explained Friday, however, that the U.S. had provided him with information about the chemical attack in the northern Syrian town of Khan Sheikhoun.
"Secretary Mattis called Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan to confirm that Bashar al-Assad and his regime were responsible for the horrific attacks on civilians of a few days ago," Trudeau said.
"A trusted and reliable ally in the United States informed us that the Assad regime was responsible for these chemical attacks," Trudeau said in Dartmouth.
Earlier Sajjan told the House, "Assad's

(CNN) "Avengers" fans are throwing a penalty flag on NFL running back LeSean McCoy.
On the official release day of the highly anticipated "Avengers: Endgame," the Buffalo Bills star posted his reaction to what's arguably the movie's biggest scene. (Don't worry, we're not going to spoil it for you.)
LeSean McCoy with the Buffalo Bills.
In several tweets and an Instagram post, McCoy expressed his displeasure with the death of a character in the movie. "I'm done with Avengers," he said in a video.
In revealing this key plot point to his 700,000 Twitter followers, the NFL player apparently missed a plea by Marvel and the film's directors, brothers Anthony and Joseph Russo, who urged moviegoers not to ruin "Endgame" for those who haven't seen it yet.

Passionate art collectors, Anita Nagler and Robert Moyer were walking the dog in their east-side Chicago neighborhood when they spotted an artistic masterpiece they couldn’t resist. “With the old bricks, stonework, and a tree-filled courtyard, it felt like something you’d see in Europe or New Orleans,” Anita says.
The house had been built in 1880 as a brick one-and-a-half-story Victorian cottage, with a bay window and front door that faced the street. In 1948, it was converted into the Hudson Studios, apartments where artists could work and live. The front bay was sheared off, gables and pitched rooflines were eliminated and replaced by flat roofs, and the front door and windows were

According to the Warriors, the new "Primary Icon" and "Global Logo" portrayal of the Bay Bridge adds subtle details on the bridge span and "represents the Warriors' standing as the Bay Area's professional basketball team." The original "Copperplate font" will be replaced by a new, custom font that also will be featured in the team's wordmark.
The primary blue color on the logo has been "refreshed," according to the Warriors, and will be in a slightly darker shade in all of the logos, and also will be reflected in the team's on-court jerseys and apparel.
The secondary "W" logo also has been changed to match the customized font and the overall aesthetic -- this also will be featured on the belt of the team's uniform shorts.

The question, he said, was whether the order had been given to kill Nemtsov or "stage an action that would have a high impact".
Alternatively, he alleged that Nemtsov had been killed on the order of officials in Yaroslavl region, where he had been investigating corruption.
No arrests have been made and no motive has been established for the crime.
Nemtsov's final resting place is at Troyekurovskoye Cemetery, where murdered journalist Anna Politkovskaya was buried in 2006.
A fierce critic of President Vladimir Putin, he was shot dead on a bridge near the Kremlin wall on Friday night.
New CCTV footage of the presumed getaway car has been released by a pro-Kremlin Russian news website, LifeNews. The video shows a vehicle making its way along Moscow streets but there is noclose-up on the suspects inside.

(CNN) Now entering its fifth season, Formula E feels a world away from the sport that first appeared for its inaugural championship in 2014.
The "Generation 2" cars boast a new, striking design and, with 85% more energy, now drive faster and for longer than ever before.
Gone are the car swaps half way through a race, while the races themselves will now take place within a 45-minute time limit.
Mitch Evans, a driver for Jaguar, estimates there will be an extra 100 horsepower at the racers' disposal, creating significantly more down force and really bringing into play, for the first time, tire management strategies.
Nelson Piquet Jr., Evans' teammate, won the inaugural championship and has experienced first hand the evolution of a rapidly growing sport.

Such is the sport's growing popularity, drivers from championships around the world are offering themselves to join Formula E, some "for low money just because they want to be part of the series," says Piquet Jr.
This season, the most significant addition to the driver lineup is Felipe Massa, who joins after 15 years in Formula One.
"The level of drivers that are attracted to the series is just so high," Evans tells CNN. "I think it's going to be the most competitive championship in the world in terms of the caliber of driver.

(Newser) – Lawmakers are calling for an investigation into possible "political interference" amid accusations that the Justice Department is pushing for the sale of CNN before it will approve AT&T's merger with Time Warner. Sources tell Politico the DOJ gave the companies an "ultimatum" Monday demanding they drop either AT&T's DirecTV or Time Warner's Turner Broadcasting, which includes networks CNN, TBS, and TNT. But "it's all about CNN," a source tells the Financial Times. The fear is that President Trump—who vowed to block the $85 million deal in an October 2016 speech—is intervening to target the "fake news" network he's used as a punching bag throughout much of his presidency, an idea backed by Trump's suggestion last month that news outlets should be punished.

("Kellogg Rust"), a predecessor in interest of Halliburton, purchased Westinghouse's synthetic fuels division. Peace alleges that Kellogg Rust induced him to remain with the division by agreeing "to purchase an annuity to replace the pension amount" he would lose by leaving Westinghouse. Kellogg Rust purchased a joint, single-premium annuity from American General and retained ownership of the annuity until 1987 when ownership was transferred to Peace. Peace claims he was promised a monthly amount of $1155 when he became age sixty-five. Allegedly relying on this agreement, he stayed on as general manager and became vice-president of the division. He attained the age of sixty-five in August 2003. Peace has requested that his monthly payments begin but has not received any money.

The district court held that the annuity was65 until his death. Ongoing obligations of this sort require administration. His contention, and the majority's conclusion, that they do not is inherently inconsistent.
18
The district court wrote a detailed, thoughtful Memorandum and Order in this case that correctly applies the law to the facts on which William Peace relies. The district court concluded that Kellogg Rust's obligations to Peace and another, similarly-situated executive constituted an ERISA pension plan, the plan was terminated as to Peace when Kellogg Rust transferred ownership of the annuity at issue to Peace in 1987, and Peace's claims against Halliburton are barred by limitations. I would affirm the district court. I therefore respectfully dissent.

Lupita's sister Maria testified last week that her father beat Lupita after she wet her bed, then threw her into a wall with such force that she heard a crack and saw Lupita's head drop. Lupita died of a fractured skull and had bleeding on the brain and other injuries, according to an autopsy.
Petra Ricardo testified that she urged Barrera to help save Lupita's life, but he refused.
"I told Marco we have to take her to the hospital," she testified. "He said, 'We don't have the money for the hospital.' "
Jose testified his father was afraid that Lupita's injuries would arouse suspicion at a hospital.
"She had too many blows on her and [authorities] would ask too many questions," Jose testified. "He was going to blameme to the police."
Ricardo said she went into the mountains one night with Barrera and others to bury Lupita's body.
A few months later, Petra Ricardo said, Barrera went to her home to tell her that another child, Ernesto, also had died. "He said, 'Woman, calm down . . . he had cardiac arrest,' " she testified.
Ernesto's autopsy revealed 13 broken ribs, several fractures of the arms and legs, and multiple bruises, scars, scrapes and ulcers on his body. A 14-year-old stepsister, Luz, testified Monday that Barrera did not like Ernesto. "He thought Ernesto was not his child because he was light [skinned] and his hair was light brown," she said.
Petra Ricardo said she did not witness the beatings of her two children because they lived apart. She said

(Irene Kane), only to run afoul of her gangster boss (Frank Silvera). Working with producer James B. Harris, Kubrick graduated to professional cast and crew with his next effort, "The Killing" (1956), a well-paced and assured noir about a race track heist spearheaded by a career criminal (Sterling Hayden) looking to make one last score. Kubrick's first major feature effort suffered at the box office while failing to garner praise from critics of that time. "The Killing" did, however, earn respectability over time and earned its place as one of the classics of the genre. Kubrick went on to direct his first truly great film, "Paths of Glory" (1957), which marked his emergence as a major director. Sharp, intelligent and superbly acted, the World War I saga featuredstar and producer Kirk Douglas as a French colonel who defends three soldiers accused of cowardice against an incompetent general (Adolphe Menjou) determined to execute them for his own failure. A box office disappointment upon its release and banned in both France and Germany, "Paths of Glory" was a critical hit that ensured its stature throughout the years as one of the finest antiwar films ever made.<p>Although his next effort seemed to be more of a personal effort for producer-star Kirk Douglas than the director, Kubrick demonstrated that he could function within mainstream Hollywood with the sword-and-sandal epic "Spartacus" (1960), the first and only feature film he did as a work-for-hire. Brought in a week into shooting after original director Anthony Mann was replaced by Douglas, Kubrick nonetheless

The government had its own duty to investigate Swisher's military record, having been alerted to "the real possibility of false testimony." Commonwealth of N. Marina Islands v. Bowie, 243 F.3d 1109, 1118 (9th Cir.2001). Because the government had participated in the grand jury proceedings, it knew long before Hinkson's counsel that Swisher had given potentially false testimony about his military experience. Swisher's first grand jury testimony was in April 2002. This was two years and three months before Swisher's deposition, and two years and sixth months before Hinkson's trial. During this period, if it had wished to do so, the government could easily have obtained Swisher's official military file to determine whether its star witness was telling the truth. But so far as the record shows, thegovernment made no effort to do so.
The government now argues that Hinkson was not diligent in investigating Swisher's military record. But for two and a half years, it was the government that made virtually no effort to investigate the trustworthiness of its star witness. Further, it was the government that took ninety days to respond to Hinkson's request immediately after Swisher's October 11 deposition for information about his military record. Yet the government now has the nerve to argue that it was Hinkson who was not diligent. It is almost incomprehensible to me that the government would make that argument. It is entirely incomprehensible that the majority would accept it.

(CIA). These demonstrations resulted
in clashes with Biko supporters from AZAPO.A
year after Biko's death, his "Frank Talk"
writings were published as an edited collection,
I Write What I Like. The defence that Biko
provided for arrested SASO activists was used
as the basis for the 1978 book The Testimony
of Steve Biko, edited by Millard Arnold. Woods
fled to England that year, where he campaigned
against apartheid and further publicised Biko's
life and death, writing many newspaper articles
about him, as well as a book, Biko (1978).
This was made into the 1987 film Cry Freedom
by Richard Attenborough, starring Denzel Washington
as Biko. Many film critics and Black Consciousness
proponents were concerned that the film foregrounded
white characters like Woods over Biko himself,
but Cry Freedom brought Biko's life and activism
to a wider audience. The state censors initially
permitted its release in South Africa,but
after it began screening in the country's
cinemas, copies were confiscated by police
on the order of Police Commissioner General
Hendrik de Wit, who claimed that it would
inflame tensions and endanger public safety.
The South African government banned many books
about Biko, including those of Arnold and
Woods.
=== Commemoration ===
Biko was commemorated in several artworks
after his death. Gerard Sekoto, a South African
artist based in France, produced Homage to
Steve Biko in 1978, and another South African
artist, Peter Stopforth, included a work entitled
The Interrogators in his 1979 exhibition.
A triptych, it depicted the three police officers
implicated in Biko's death. Kenya released
a commemorative postage stamp featuring Biko's
face.Biko's death also inspired several songs,
including from artists outside South Africa
such as Tom Paxton and Peter Hammill. The
English singer-songwriter Peter Gabriel released
"Biko" in tribute to him, which was a hit
single in 1980,

Three Army reservists from Utah received Purple Hearts from Secretary of Defense Robert Gates last week at the Heathe N. Craig Joint Theater Hospital at Bagram Airfield in the Parwan province. One of them was Army Spc. Quinn Jensen, whose father Paul Jensen recounts being notified that his son had been wounded.
Jensen said he learned about the incident when his phone rang Sunday afternoon.
"I got the call from hell," he said, explaining how he thought it was a telemarketer. "I was going to tell them to quit calling me on Sunday afternoon. I picked up the phone and said, ‘Hello?' The man goes, ‘This is the U.S. Army. Your son Quinn has been in an accident, and all we

(emphasis added). This passage, it seems to us, cuts both ways. It supports the Band's argument that electronic devices are permissible "aids" if they do not alter the "fundamental characteristics" of the game. The Band emphasizes that the computer in electronic pull-tab games duplicates the characteristics of the original game: there are a certain preestablished number of winning tickets and the prizes are known and fixed in advance. Thus, the Band argues, the player plays not against the machine using random odds, but against other players in a closed board.

The Band's argument is not without force, but the passage from the Committee report also reinforces the notion that electronic aids are essentially aimed at communications to enable broader participation in a common game.the collision Newell left his car and talked with Ferrell, the driver of the truck.

1900 - E.R. Henry
The United Kingdom Home Secretary Office conducted an inquiry
into "Identification of Criminals by Measurement andFingerprints." Mr. Edward Richard
Henry (later Sir ER Henry)appeared before the inquiry committee to explain the system published in his recent book "The
Classification and Use of Fingerprints." The committee recommended adoption of fingerprinting as a replacement for the relatively inaccurate Bertillon system of
anthropometric measurement, which only partially relied on fingerprints for identification.
1901
The Fingerprint Branch at New Scotland Yard (Metropolitan Police) was created in July 1901 using the Henry System of Fingerprint Classification.
1902
First systematic use of fingerprints in the U.S. by the New York Civil Service Commission for testing. Dr. Henry P.
DeForrest pioneers U.S. fingerprinting.
1903
In 1903, theNew York City Civil Service
Commission, the New York State Prison System and the Leavenworth
Penitentiary in Kansas began using fingerprinting. In 1903, Will and
William West's fingerprints were compared at Leavenworth Penitentiary
after there were found to have the same Anthropometric measurements.
1904
The use of fingerprints began
at the St. Louis Police Department. They
were assisted by a Sergeant from Scotland Yard who had been on duty at the St. Louis World's Fair Exposition guarding the British Display. Sometime after the St. Louis
World's Fair, the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) created America's first national fingerprint repository, called the National Bureau of Criminal
Identification.

U.S. Army begins using fingerprints.
U.S. Department of Justice forms the Bureau of Criminal Identification in Washington, DC to provide a centralized reference collection of fingerprint cards.

Saint Patrick died in Saul, Downpatrick, in Northern Ireland. Since then, March 17 became an emblematic date for the Irish. He was officially considered as the patron saint of Ireland in 1780 and his symbol even formed part of the British flag after the Union Act in 1800. There are many other myths about this famous figure in Irish history but unfortunately very few know the truth.
A Christian tradition says that Patrick explained the mystery of the Holy Trinity using a three-leaf clover. That is why that day has been established as a custom to wear a clover in celebration of their holiday. It is also common to dress in green and even dye beer Houghton was removed from flight status on January 1, 1972. He advised the Secretary of his intent to sue McDonnell on June 26, 1972. The Secretary investigated the claim, and on September 12, 1972, advised Houghton that he was free to sue McDonnell. After Houghton was discharged on December 12, 1972, he filed a suit against McDonnell on January 9, 1973, alleging a violation of the Act, and seeking an injunction, reinstatement, back wages, liquidated damages, and attorney fees.

On March 12, 1974, the Secretary filed his suit (the "government suit") against McDonnell, alleging age discrimination against Houghton and other test pilot employees. He sought only prospective relief against the discriminatory practices. The Secretary sought consolidation of his suit with the private action.

(ASAA) was noting this paucity when it reported in 2005 that all Asian-language enrolment in Australian universities was falling, except for Chinese languages. "Other languages of Asia survive," the ASAA submitted to the Senate, "through the commitment of specific individuals and their ability to influence their institutions." In the face of indifference, only the most committed teachers have been able to keep languages such as Arabic alive in the universities.
Below the degree level there are, of course, many ways of learning a language. The University of Melbourne offers short courses in Arabic, though Open Universities Australia does not. Arabic-language packs are easily downloadable from the internet, private tutors can be sourced, and continuing-education bodies and correspondence schools around the country offer elementary Arabic courses. For a gifted elite,the Saudi Arabian Embassy offers scholarships to travel to four different Saudi universities to study Arabic.
Beyond these, the non-Arabic speaker has few places to go. Religious schools and masjids teach classical, or Koranic, Arabic to students who already speak a version of colloquial Arabic and read and write Modern Standard Arabic, the written language that unifies dialects spoken across North Africa and the Middle East. It is not long before the curious would-be Arabic speaker finds himself in murky waters. On the internet, a Google search of "Learn Arabic for free" in pages from Australia leads to an organisation called Mission Islam, with a site that accuses a federation of Freemasons, Zionists and American imperialists of plotting to wipe Islam off the face of the earth and, as

Co-Opoly Board Game by Calverts Coop
It has been stated that Darwin's theory of evolution proposed a process of "competition and survival of the fittest." However, it has also been proposed that "survival of the fittest" is more of a capitalist notion founded upon competition between businesses. As an article on Survival of the Fittest on Quickwiki states:
"Survival of the fit enough" is also emphasized by the fact that while direct competition has been observed between individuals, populations and species, there is little evidence that competition has been the driving force in the evolution of large groups. For example, between amphibians, reptiles and mammals; rather these animals have evolved by expanding into empty ecolological niches. In the punctuated equilibrium model of environmentalno intrinsic value, and has a spot price
today that represents in part irrational excitement about Bitcoin and in part
a cynical scalping of that excitement by speculators. Bitcoin could be the
most solid imaginable distributed cryptosystem and I'd still have problems
with it.
I was motivated to comment about Andresen's post because I was also struck by
his Reddit comment on the ES paper, where it seemed that random laypeople on
Reddit were better prepared to discuss the technical implications of the paper
than he was.

I see your point, but still doubt that Gavin intended his post as innuendo. My
assessment is that he's not yet ready to respond to the paper with carefully
written, fully-thought-out, detailed technical counter-arguments, but wanted
to assuage the Bitcoin community and address all those "sensationalistic

By linking his end run around due process to the "material support" statute, Lieberman greatly expands the bill's potential applications.

A SPECIAL evening under the lights at Callington Town and the home side prevailed with a delightful winner just four minutes before the end of a tight match.
Argyle possibly lacked their normal fluency but that was largely down to a well-organised and disciplined display from the hosts in front of their largest crowd of the season.
A draw looked like a fair result and both sides probably would have accepted that outcome but Callington pinched the points when a super free-kick was met by a towering header from Matt Thackeray to send the home crowd wild with excitement.
The result leaves Argyle three points behind leaders Saltash, who also have games in hand on the Pilgrims, while Callington are settling nicely into mid-table safety.

(21%), "intimidation" (18%) and "stealthy retreat" (18%). "Intimidation" encounters occurred when chimpanzees were contacted in dense forest where visibility was low, provoking intense alarm and agitation. Adult males occasionally acted together to repel researchers through aggressive mobbing and pursuit. Chimpanzee behavior during encounters reflects the familiar yet frequently agonistic relationship between apes and local people at Bulindi. The chimpanzees are not hunted but experience high levels of harassment from villagers. Human-directed aggression by chimpanzees may represent a strategy to accommodate regular disruptions to foraging effort arising from competitive encounters with people both in and outside forest. Average encounter duration and proportion of encounters categorized as "ignore" increased over time, whereas "intimidation" encounters decreased, indicating some habituation occurred during the study.

But over at the Department of Justice, it's a very different story. While Trump may be, by word of the Constitution, the most powerful person in Washington, it is his attorney general, Jeff Sessions, who has emerged as one of the most potent -- even after Trump publicly scolded him over his recusal from the Russian election meddling investigation, then expressed regret over his nomination.
But where Trump has failed to roll back former President Barack Obama's signature achievements and policies, Sessions, under the radar and without congressional tripwires at his feet, is erasing some others with startling speed.

Plaintiff was given more than one opportunity prior to the actual suspension to "present his side of the story" concerning his contact with TWA on August 28, 2001. Plaintiff was interviewed by Special Agent Danny W. Simpson, the agent conducting the investigation, on October 4, 2001. Plaintiff's union representative was present during the interview. Simpson explained the purpose of the meeting prior to beginning the interview. Plaintiff was allowed to provide a written statement of his account of the event onOctober 9, 2001, and was given another opportunity to offer further comment on October 11, 2001.
Plaintiff's supervisors, David Barr and St. Louis Field Office Facility Manager Jane Knoche, conducted an investigatory *1059 interview (the "Weingarten interview"[5]) of plaintiff on November 26, 2001 to raise some questions they had regarding the FAA's Final Report of Investigation ("ROI") into the TWA incident.

Kim Jong-Il is probably in the hospital but still calling the shots, Japanese PM Taro Aso says, citing intelligence reports and adding that if the North Korean leader were incoherent, "we would be seeing different developments." A Japanese professor returning from Pyongyang says North Koreans are calm, a sign that Kim is not as gravely ill as the world suspects, reports AFP. He adds that, should the leader's condition worsen, the military seems prepared to step in and preserve the regime.Whether by walking off the job or boycotting "unseen" labor, women and allies around the world next week will stand up and speak out to say: Women's rights are human rights.
Coinciding with International Women's Day, the March 8 day of action is being promoted in solidarity by those who organized January's Women's March as well as a grassroots movement known as the International Women's Strike (IWS). While both groups acknowledge that the election of President Donald Trump makes their call more urgent, their overlapping visions look beyond one administration—and reach further back into the past.

(CNN) In a dramatic moment of the Democratic primary debate on Thursday night, California Sen. Kamala Harris confronted former Vice President Joe Biden about his history of opposition to "busing," the policy of transporting students to schools outside their neighborhoods to try to reduce racial segregation.
Harris said she was herself part of a busing program in California. She also said she was part of only the second integrated class at her school.
California-based radio host Larry Elder and others, citing a post on the conspiracy-minded conservative website Gateway Pundit, accused her of lying about her school's integration history.
She was not lying. In fact, the school district confirmed her claim to CNN.
Facts First: Harris was indeed part of the second integrated class at Berkeley's Thousand Oaks Elementary School: she enteredschool in 1969, and the plan to desegregate the school was implemented in 1968.
"Thousand Oaks Elementary, along with all Berkeley public elementary schools, were integrated through a two-way busing plan, beginning in 1968, so Senator Harris is correct in describing her experience in 1969 as the second year of the busing integration program," Natasha Beery, director of community relations for the Berkeley Unified School District, said in an email on Friday.
Here's what Harris said to Biden:
"But I also believe, and it's personal -- and I was actually very -- it was hurtful to hear you talk about the reputations of two United States senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country. And it was not only that, but you also worked

(CNN) Iranian President Hassan Rouhani is warning the US that war with Iran would be "the mother of all wars" but did not rule out the possibility of a peace agreement.
Americans "must understand that war with Iran is the mother of all wars and peace with Iran is the mother of all peace," Rouhani said while addressing diplomats Sunday in Tehran, according to Iran's state-run news agency IRNA.
The Iranian leader also had a message for US President Trump: "do not play with the lion's tail, because you will regret it eternally."
His comments come months after the Trump administration announced that the US is quitting the Iran nuclear deal brokered during the Obama administration and reinstating sanctions on the country. The sanctions are set to be reimposed November 4, and more than 50 international firms have said they will leave the Iranian market, Brian Hook, a State Department policy and planning director, said earlier this month.
The 2015 agreement, between Iran and the US and other powers, had agreed to ease sanctions on Iran if the country reined in its nuclear program. But in a split with European allies, Trump said in May that the deal was a disaster and decided to leave the pact.

its fiduciary duties and its duty of fair representation by sending him to Stright as a nonunion employer for a period of time, 1958 to 1967, which rendered him ineligible for a pension.
9
Throughout the proceedings, Local 449 and Stright maintained that Stright had not been bound to a collective bargaining agreement prior to 1968. In his deposition in April 1982, DeLuca testified in part as follows:
10
Q How would you find out whether the contractor is union or nonunion?
11
A If any contributions are being paid into the funds.
12
Q Would that be welfare funds and pension funds?
13
A Welfare funds, whatever funds--.
14
Consistent with their position that Stright was not party to a contract with Local 449 prior to 1968, Local 449, in sworn answers to interrogatories, stated that Stright hadnot made any contributions to the Union's Welfare Fund prior to 1968. The Union also stated that its records as to any pre-1968 contributions had been destroyed.
15
In July 1982, Baskin's attorneys discovered documents in the files of the Fund indicating that in fact Stright had made contributions on Baskin's behalf to Local 449's Welfare Fund annually from 1958 to 1970. On the strength of this discovery Baskin promptly moved for and eventually received permission to file another amended complaint (the "Eighth Amended Complaint"). To the extent pertinent to the present appeals, this complaint alleged that Stright had been a union employer covered by a collective bargaining agreement from 1958 to 1970; that Stright had breached its obligation to make pension contributions on Baskin's behalf

Shortly after the shooting, a gang suppression detective arrested Mauricio Montiel
for a curfew violation near Meraz's house. Montiel had bullets and a loaded speed loader
for a revolver in a nylon bag in his pocket. He said he was coming from a friend's house
and had found the items on the ground. His cell phone reflected a call at 10:15 p.m. that
night to "Grims" at Meraz'shome number. The cartridges in the speed loader in Montiel's
pocket were .38 specials, consistent with the spent bullets recovered from the scene.
Police searched Meraz's house a few hours after the shooting and found a skull mask
under some jeans. The mask had Meraz's DNA on it. They found a black bandana halfway
under a bed. They found a pair of pants in a bedroom with a paper bearing the name
"Mikey" as well as Meraz's telephone number in the pocket.
Subsequent testing detected several gunshot residue particles (one "characteristic"
and several "consistent") in the fabric of the pants. A black hooded windbreaker had several
"consistent" gunshot residue particles.
Meraz claimed he had not left

($10,000.00) dollars, exclusive of interest and costs; and the Court finds diversity of citizenship exists between the plaintiff and each of the defendants.
In the interest of brevity, the plaintiff hereinafter will be referred to as "Sperry;" the corporate defendant, Electronic Concepts, Incorporated, as ECI; and the corporate defendant, Automatic Sprinkler Corporation of America, as "Automatic."
The plaintiff corporation is a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business in the State of New York and with a division of its corporation, which is engaged in design, development, manufacture and sale of electronic equipment, including radar, for military and commercial use, being located in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Defendants Zentmeyer and Tebell are residents and citizens of the State of Virginia; corporate defendant, ECI, was a Virginia corporation, organized in 1963, which wasengaged in the design and manufacture of electronic equipment and up to the middle of 1966 made no radar or radar antennae, but ultimately became a competitor of Sperry in the field of military radar.
During the pendency of this suit, Automatic purchased the assets of ECI and assumed its liabilities, if any, by reason of this suit. ECI was thereafter dissolved, and its manufacturing operation, which was and is located in Charlottesville, Virginia, was designated as a division of Automatic Sprinkler Corporation of America, a corporation whose name was changed in October 1969 to A-T-O, Inc. Automatic was, by agreement, made a party defendant to this action.
The joint answers of defendants have been designated as affirmative defenses alleging, in effect, that this action is brought by plaintiff as

Seems Premkumar was interested in everything. Particle physics, law, materials engineering, political science, psychology, computer science, international development. He was "gung ho." About all of it.
"I really felt at home at Iowa State, despite not knowing what I wanted to do with the rest of my life," he said.
A mere eight semesters later, Premkumar is graduating magna cum laude with three majors and two bachelor's degrees -- one in economics and global resource systems; another in mathematics. Now he's destined for distinction in the development economics doctoral program at the University of California, Berkeley.
So how did he figure out what he wanted to do?
In Tanzania, 2012.
Here's the abridged version: Since freshman year, Premkumar ... worked with University Professor of economics Peter Orazem ("an incredible mentor") on two researchprojects ... conducted independent research in Tanzania with one of his best friends (fellow Ames High alumnus Dylan Clark) ... presented the research at an international conference in Scotland (as the only undergraduates invited)... conducted field research (by himself) with farmers in Punjab, India ... served on the national steering committee of the Student Global AIDS Campaign ... founded a thriving ISU student organization to advocate for AIDS and global health initiatives ... taught himself elementary Swahili ... earned the National Institutes of Health Protecting Human Subject Research Participants certification ... was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa ... served on the university's Committee on Lectures ... drove the White House Press Corps van in the presidential motorcade when President Obama visited campus in 2012 ...and even made it

(CNN) Malaysia has sent back 150 shipping containers of plastic waste to rich countries including the United States, United Kingdom, France and Canada, insisting it won't be the "garbage dump" of the world.
The country has been inundated with shipments of illegal plastic waste since 2018, when China cracked down on a large recycling industry.
Malaysia subsequently emerged as a major target of illegal waste trafficking, but its government has attempted to tackle the reputation and has returned shipments of waste in the past.
On Monday the country's environment minister, Yeo Bee Yin, said she ordered 3,737 metric tons of trash to be returned to 13 countries.
Of the 150 containers, 43 were sent back to France and 42 to the UK, while the US will receive 17 and Canada 11.

The company has alleged that union leaders planned the altercation and is seeking to have them charged with serious criminal offenses. It has also vowed to be rid of any worker who it says was involved in the July 18 incident.
In fact, as the World Socialist Web Site has previously reported, the July 18 altercation was a deliberate management provocation. Company officials suspended a worker after he protested against the abusive casteist remarks of a supervisor. Workers angered by the suspension began to protest, demanding that the supervisor be disciplined instead. While MSWU leaders were discussing the dispute with management representatives, hundreds of armed company-organized goons brutally attacked the workers, provoking a major clash.

AWESOME U.S. WORLD CUP VIDEO: ESPN has a new promo for the summer World Cup in Brazil and it is entitled "American Outlaws," after a U.S. fan group. The name of the group and video is apt, because American soccer fans are sort of the outlaws of American sports, growing, but still cult-sized compared to football, basketball and baseball fans. There is also an element of "us against the world," given the enormous mass popularity of soccer elsewhere more than here. The video is awesome. Goosebumpy.

BORIS JOHNSON SAYS TRUMP SHOULD DESIGN HIS OWN NUKE DEAL
Trump was likely referring to an interview that the United Kingdom leader had with the BBC on Monday where he called his U.S. counterpart "a great deal maker, by his own account and others," and expressed a willingness to let Trump take the lead on the matter.
"If we're going to get rid of it, let's replace it and let's replace it with the Trump deal," Johnson said.
Trump tweeted late Tuesday the quote from the interview and the line, “I agree!”

Corbett said it was refreshing to hear the words "climate change" in a budget speech, calling it a "bizarre breakthrough." And while the fund was the only mention, Corbett said she's hopeful investment in other areas will spur environmental action.
For instance, she said increased investment in tourism could lead to more protected lands.
Feds decide fate of plan
Both Corbett and Coon said additional funds need to be invested in climate programs — the kind of funds generated from a carbon tax.
But they say it's likely the federal government won't approve the plan, saying it's at odds with the purpose of the federal "backstop" — an additional cost to carbon dioxide.

The Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman has penned a paper titled "A Cascadic Multigrid Algorithm for Computing the Fiedler Vector of Graph Laplacians" and published it in the Journal of Computational Mathematics, per Bloomberg. He also has a bachelor's and a master's degree in math (both achieved with a 4.0 GPA), does research in his spare time in the fields of "numerical linear algebra, multigrid methods, spectral graph theory, and machine learning," and has "aspirations of eventually being a titled [chess] player one day," he noted last week on the Players' Tribune site.

(3) had been unwilling to cooperate with the government in its investigation of the Black Hebrews. These factors led the judge to conclude further that the defendant's "potential for rehabilitation and his deterrability are minimal at this point in his life."
66
(1) The judge's stated belief that the defendant had already determined to become a professional criminal when he left his job at WHUR in 1980 does not echo any such conclusion expressed in the presentence report, which merely described the period during which Lemon left his employment as one of relative instability.30 Yet the only significant information presented to the sentencing judge outside of the presentence report that might have led him to this conclusion was the defendant's alleged involvement with the Black Hebrews.
67
(2) Thejudge's conclusion that the defendant had exhibited a "lack of candor" with the probation officer may or may not be based on his denial of membership in the Black Hebrews. Based on our reading of the probation officer's observations in the presentence report, we conclude that the judge's belief was at least indirectly based on the government's claim that the defendant's crime was motivated by his involvement with the Black Hebrews, as compared with the defendant's own explanation of his motivation.
68
(3) Finally, the judge's characterization of the defendant's "unwillingness to cooperate with the U.S. Attorney's Office in its investigation of an organization known as the Black Hebrews, whether or not he is a member of it," appears to disclaim reliance on the specific allegation of membership.

began storing hazardous wastes, including hazardous substances, at the Bluff Road site as part of a waste brokering and recycling operation. In 1976, the three individuals incorporated South Carolina Recycling and Disposal Inc. ("SCRDI") and thereafter continued hazardous waste operations at the site under auspices of the corporation. SCRDI occupied part of the site from the years 1976 to 1978, and it assumed the verbal lease in 1978.
During the course of operations at the site by SCRDI and its predecessors, an environmental hazard of staggering proportions developed. Some 7,200 fifty-five gallon drums of hazardous substances, including materials which are toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic, explosive, and highly flammable, accumulated at the site. The drums were randomly and haphazardly stacked upon one another without regard to their source or theis COCC, a South Carolina corporation.

According to the ninth region of the Japanese coast guard, a total of 14 boats from the Korean peninsula, including North Korea, have been discovered near Sado Island in Niigata in 2016.
In early December the coast guard also discovered a wooden ship off the coast of Kyoto that appears to be of North Korean origin.
In the course of investigations the coast guard found the skeletal remains of eight bodies on board, according to local press reports.

He then offered the man and his friend, neither of whom he knew, $50.00 to take him to a motel. He did not remember being at the police station until hearing the evidence at trial.
The jury returned its verdict of guilty and recommended a fine to be determined by the court as punishment. The Court sentenced Mr. Hoyt to pay a fine of $250.00 and costs. This appeal followed.

(CNN) Lawyers for one of the women who have accused Donald Trump of sexual assault subpoenaed his campaign for all documents relating to her, all communications with or about her and "all documents concerning any woman who asserted that Donald J. Trump touched her inappropriately."
This comes in the case of Summer Zervos, a former contestant on "The Apprentice" who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her in 2007. The accusations were made in October of last year at a news conference.
Zervos claims Trump kissed her twice on the lips during a lunch meeting in his New York City office and on a separate occasion in Beverly Hills, she alleges he kissed her aggressively and touched her breast.
In a statement at the time, Trump denied these claims.

Emerging economies such as China and India are expected to witness growth of the low-voltage motors market, due to the rising demand for low-voltage motors in automotive and electronics industries in the two countries. Inclination toward cleaner energy in the power generation sector is expected to boost the low-voltage motors market in the U.S., particularly for solar and wind projects. Furthermore, stringent regulations regarding motor efficiency and retrofitting of aging

War I, when Turkey was a German ally. While acknowledging there were deaths and deportations, Turkey rejects as exaggerated estimates that 800,000-1.5 million people died between 1915-16.
Last weekend, Ankara's Mayor İbrahim Melih Gökçek tweeted a collage of photos of 11 German-Turkish members of the Bundestag who backed the genocide resolution, accusing them of "stabbing us in the back."
Merkel's response, during a news conference Tuesday, was to call the Turkish response "incomprehensible" and defend the MPs in question as "freely elected parliamentarians.”
This fell far short of how the opposition Greens expected the chancellor to defend their German-Turkish co-chair Cem Özdemir, whose home has been put under increased police protection since the vote.
“The chancellor has to take up a definite position [against Erdogan,]” his Green colleague Claudia Roth, who isvote against the Armenian genocide resolution, the conservative backbencher Bettina Kudla.
Also on Tuesday, a scheduled German media visit to a Turkish air base in Incirlik, where German fighter jets are stationed to praticipate in the international campaign against ISIL, was cancelled at the last-minute by Turkish authorities.
The Turkish government had hoped that its lobbying and influence among the 2.9 million German citizens of Turkish ancestry — who make up about 4 percent of the entire population — would prevent the repeatedly postponed Armenian vote.
“I believe many of the attacks are meant to stir up the Turkish community in Germany, and to increasingly set them against the rest of the German population,” Hans-Georg Fleck from the Istanbul bureau of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation, a German Liberal think-tank, told Deutschlandfunk

(CNN) A lawyer for the Ukraine whistleblower, whose complaint document triggered the House impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump, has sent a letter to the White House warning the President to "cease and desist" attacking his client.
"I am writing out of deep concern that your client, the President of the United States, is engaging in rhetoric and activity that places my client, the Intelligence Community Whistleblower, and their family in physical danger," Andrew Bakaj wrote to White House counsel Pat Cipollone in a Thursday letter obtained by CNN's Anderson Cooper.
"I am writing to respectfully request that you counsel your client on the legal and ethical peril in which he is placing himself should anyone be physically harmed as a result of his, or his surrogates', behavior," he said.
READ:Whistleblower lawyer's letter to White House
Trump has repeatedly attacked the whistleblower and tried to discredit the individual, saying he, Trump, deserves to "meet his accuser" and has demanded the whistleblower's identity be revealed. The President has also accused the whistleblower of partisanship though Trump said he had no personal knowledge of the person's identity.
The whistleblower's complaint alleges Trump abused his official powers "to solicit interference" from Ukraine in the 2020 election and that the White House took steps to cover it up. Trump has denied any wrongdoing.
A rough transcript released by the White House shows Trump repeatedly pushed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, Trump's potential 2020 political rival, and his son Hunter Biden. There is no evidence of wrongdoing by Joe or

Not only do the poor buggers have to actually live IN Australia, but now playing for your National team will result in a lower salary.
I am referring to the pay-cut the Australian rugby players have accepted, this following the news that their union is practically bankrupt. The only reason the Wallabies got any salaries this year, is thanks to the British and Irish Lions tour, which made some a good bit of bob. Earlier indications from within Australia seem to show that Australian Rugby shows a larger deficit every year. The last reported deficit was around 19 million Ausie Dollars (R180 million)
(FYI – For those not quite in the know, a growing deficit means that the money received by Rugby Australia is less than the money spent byaffirm.

(CNN) Sam Clovis, Donald Trump's pick to be chief scientist for the Department of Agriculture, pushed unfounded theories about then-President Barack Obama's upbringing and called then-Attorney General Eric Holder a "racist black," a CNN KFile review of Clovis's writings and radio broadcasts during 2012 and 2013 has found.
Clovis was a conservative radio host and political activist in Iowa before gaining national attention as one of the more vocal supporters of Trump during the presidential campaign. His nomination to head science at the USDA requires Senate confirmation.
CNN's KFile reported last week on blog posts from 2011 and 2012 in which Clovis called black leaders "race traders" and accused Obama of being a "Maoist." CNN's KFile has since obtained the transcripts of some episodes of Clovis' radio show, "Impact withSam Clovis," reviewed hours of available audio of Clovis' radio appearances, and uncovered previously unreported blog posts by Clovis. (Read CNN KFile's full research here .)
The material shows how Clovis regularly engaged with fringe theories that were prevalent in the right-wing radio and blogosphere during Obama's presidency.
Clovis did not return a request for comment. The White House also did not respond to emails requesting comment.
On Friday, a USDA spokesperson told CNN's KFile that Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue still supports Clovis to be the under secretary for research, education, and economics.
"Nothing has changed. The Secretary supports Dr. Clovis to be the undersecretary for REE completely," the spokesperson said. The spokesperson declined to comment on any of Clovis' specific comments included in the CNN KFile report.

communicating with an agent with the federal Department of Homeland Security working undercover.
During their conversation, the agent told Zeug that the ad was "to make a little extra money" and that she likes sex, according to the criminal complaint.
Zeug said, "Yeah, this isn't my first time."
Amid sexually explicit communication, they asked each other whether they were cops; both said no, the complaint continued. Zeug said he brought it up because "you're only 17."
Zeug arranged a meeting outside a house in Redwood Falls, asked for nude photos and wanted her to flash her breasts to assure him she was not in law enforcement, the charging document read.
The police chief circled the supposed teen's home several times and then parked nearby, the complaint said. He was arrested by members ofthe sting operation.
"When he was arrested," the complaint read, "he had a law enforcement radio on him [that] gave him the capability to monitor police channels."
Noting that Zeug is married and has children, the prosecutor said the case "is amazingly unfortunate for everybody."
The court Tuesday granted Zeug a public defender. His annual salary is $44,200 as the town's only full-time officer. The department also has one part-time officer.
The court-appointed attorney, Joel Solie, was not immediately available to comment about the allegations against his client.
Prosecution moved
The news release announcing the charges did not disclose Zeug being Walnut Grove's top law enforcement officer. Collins said in an interview, "I wasn't trying to hide anything. … There were three people charged. This is typical of the releases that we do."

into being in January 2003, the District was apparently determined to comply with both that new state statute and the Act. On July 7, 2003, therefore, the District proposed various revisions to the Kentucky SIP to eliminate the VET program. The primary motivation and purpose of these revisions were to comply with the new state statute. On August 14, 2003, the EPA preliminarily advised the District that any SIP revision must consider the new eight-hour ozone and fine particulate matter standards. Because the proposed revision did not consider those standards, the District knew then that the EPA was not likely to approve the SIP revision simply as a matter of course.
Nevertheless, on August 27, 2003, the District submitted a formal request to the EPA for approval to revisethe District, Arthur Williams, nor Dr. Karen Cassidy raise a defense as to the Court's power to seek enforcement against them. Defendant Lajuana S. Witcher, the newly appointed Secretary of the Kentucky National Resources and Environmental Protection Cabinet (the "Secretary"), however, disclaims specific responsibility for any of these events and seeks to avoid legal liability on the grounds that she is immune from suit under the Eleventh Amendment of the United States Constitution. The Eleventh Amendment prohibits federal courts from hearing suits brought by private citizens against state governments without the state's consent.
First, the Court will consider the Secretary's responsibility. The evidence demonstrates that the Cabinet has delegated to the District the power to propose, implement, and maintain that portion of the SIP applicable to Jefferson County. The

(the last word being a special favorite of these academics). The diagram to the left is taken from the paper, and shows the happy proliferation of dictatorship games in Africa.
What the "natives" make of it God only knows, though this paper gives us a clue. The authors also run dictator games, a whole lot of them --- all in Sierra Leone --- but the games themselves are only part of the experiment in their paper. The real experiment is that a sub-group of games --- the treatment group --- is given the White Man Treatment: a white "supervisor" oversees the game, a white American in fact. In the control group, the supervisor is a Sierra
Leonean from the capital city Freetown. In other respects the supervisors are deliberately chosenAfter an incredible bounce-back season, Melvin Gordon has begun to cement his status as one of the top-tier running backs in the NFL.

The newly-acquired Lynch is making his return to the NFL after a year-long hiatus from the league, and his expectations are high. While many expect Lynch to have a strong year, I am not as optimistic. In his last season with the Seattle Seahawks, Lynch gained a mere 417 yards through seven games.
At 31 years old, Lynch is one of the older running backs in the league. Add on the fact that Lynch missed

(CNN) The Trump administration is walking back the notion of an imminent pullout of US forces from Syria, promising to remain until there is an "enduring defeat" of ISIS.
"This means we are not in a hurry to pull out," said Ambassador Jim Jeffrey, the newly appointed US special representative, noting that creating conditions in Syria where ISIS or another terrorist group can't return may take a while.
Jeffrey, a former US ambassador to Turkey, said the US was "shifting its position" to remain active in the country and to push for a complete withdrawal of all Iranian forces from Syrian territory.
Though President Donald Trump has previously expressed a desire to pull US forces out of Syria, Jeffrey said the President "is on board" with the new approach.

was launched earlier this month by athletes including former world champion and 2008 Olympic time trial silver medallist Emma Pooley and multiple world ironman triathlon champion Chrissie Wellington – while current British stars, including Dani King and Laura Trott, have also backed the calls for a women's race.
"There's been a lot of attention recently on the need to develop women's cycling at all levels of the sport and it is a key part of my election manifesto for the presidency of the UCI," said Cookson. "People are passionate about the issue and are rightly frustrated that not enough is being done.
"We need to work closely with organisers, sponsors, teams and broadcasters to create new events on the professional calendar. A women's equivalent of the Tour de France isone potential solution and the focus of attention of a really successful petition."
Cookson will stand against McQuaid in September and has promised to reform the sport to rehabilitate its reputation in the wake of the Lance Armstrong affair.
"Undoubtedly having a female equivalent of the biggest bike race in the world is an objective we need to explore," he added. "This is why I am setting up a meeting involving [Olympic road race champion] Marianne Vos, Emma Pooley and other key representatives behind the petition with the right people, including Tour de France owners ASO and UCI management committee member Tracey Gaudry."
Cookson also announced that the Tour of Britain would have an accompanying five-day international women's race from 2014, as the first step to a full tour alongside the

Her trademark prone-position "Vissi d'arte" in act II, which has been copied with varied success, was the result of an accidental fall at a dress rehersal that Maestro Puccini saw, liked, and insisted she continue. Among her other praised characterizations thru the years were thetitle leads of Ponchielli's "La Gioconda" and Umberto Giordano's "Fedora", Octavian in Strauss' "Der Rosenkavalier", Sieglinde in Wagner's "Ring Cycle", Santuzza from Mascagni's "Cavallaria Rusticana", and Minnie in Puccini's American-themed "The Girl of the Golden West"; after leaving the Metropolitan in 1932, she appeared in several movies, was instrumental in saving a number of Moravian Jews and was named Grand Dame de la Croix du Saint Sepulcre by Pope Pius XII during World War II, and following the conflict helped raise money to repair the damaged Vienna State Opera House and the Cathedral of Prague.

(CNN) Sarah Hyland is doing well after a series of medical issues left her in and out of hospitals over the last few years.
In a revealing interview with Self magazine, the "Modern Family" actress opened up about receiving a second kidney transplant and her endometriosis, a condition that occurs when tissue lining the uterus is found outside of the uterus.
Hyland, who has kidney dysplasia, had her first transplant seven years ago. Her father was the donor.
Two years ago, Hyland said, her body began rejecting the kidney, which had to be removed in May 2017. During that surgery, doctors also discovered she had an abdominal hernia.
"When a family member gives you a second chance at life and it fails, it feels like your fault," Hyland said. "And it's not."

(CNN) First, authorities discovered a spine-chilling 2,246 fetal remains in the Illinois garage of an abortion doctor after his death. Then, investigators found "thousands" of abandoned medical records across his abortion clinics in Indiana, the Indiana attorney general announced on Friday.
Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill called Dr. Ulrich Klopfer one "of the more notorious abortionists in the history of Indiana."
The doctor had "a record of deplorable conditions and violations of regulatory controls that are placed on these clinics," Hill said. "He certainly was problematic in life and as it turns out continues to present problems in his death."
The remains found in his home date back to abortions he performed between 2000 and 2002, when he operated clinics in Indiana, authorities said.

(US: MacNamara, 1914), which had also used concluding newsreel to link the historical struggle for Irish self-determination with current events.
To give a brief summary of the film: it begins with Patrick’s birth surrounded by angels, a scene that forms a sort of angelic prologue before scenes of Patrick’s early life with his family near the sea in Gaul, including his baptism and his first miracle in which he kindles ice to make a fire. He is then kidnapped by Irish raider Niall of the Nine Hostages and shipped to Ireland, is sold at a slave market and becomes a swineherd, learning Irish in the process. A vision of the angel Victor tells him to leave Ireland. He becomes a priest in Gaul, has a vision that Ireland needshim, is ordained bishop in Rome and lands with followers in Ireland. He makes his first conversions and lights a Paschal fire on the hill of Slane, unwittingly breaking a proclamation of High King Laoghaire of Tara. Patrick successfully confronts the force Laoghaire sends to arrest him, drinks poisoned wine at Tara without harm and converts Laoghaire. The film finishes with two sequences, one showing other important elements of the Patrick legend and the other an epilogue of newsreel featuring sites associated with Patrick, the 1919 Pilgrimage to Croagh Patrick and Cardinal Logue at St Patrick’s Cathedral in Armagh.
Irish cinemagoers would been familiar with the ancient world of Rome depicted on screen, and Ireland’s distant history had been portrayed on Irish stages, including in Ira Allen’s 1917 drama

(Matthew 15:4).
Moreover, the Gospel of Luke CLEARLY TELLS US that, as He grew up, He was "subject to" both Mary and Joseph (Luke 2:51).
I am CERTAIN that Love Personified LOVED His earthly mother and, even when she and his brothers thought He was nuts, always treated her with kindness and respect (Mark 3:20-21,31-35).
Because of Genesis 3:15: "And I will put enmity between you (Satan) and THE WOMAN (isha), and between your seed and HER SEED;HE SHALL BRUISE YOUR HEAD, and you shall bruise his heel".
Because He IS the "seed of the woman" that was promised LONG AGO that would CRUSH Satan's head.
1 Corinthians 2:8 tells us that had Satan and his principalities KNOWN and UNDERSTOOD what God was doing, they "WOULD HAVE NOT CRUCIFIED the Lord of glory".
Thatis why, as Jesus hung on the cross he told Mary "WOMAN (isha) behold your son".
Oh, I thought He said that to Mary regarding John.
Yes, He said it SECONDARILY about John. And He did commit Mary's care to His beloved disciple. But He meant PRINCIPALLY HIMSELF:
"Woman, (isha)LOOK AT YOUR son"!
"WOMAN, look at YOUR SEED"!

(Jennings Aff.). In addition, Jennings and the other administrators wanted the custodians to be "cross trained." (Jennings Aff.). Talamantes and other custodians complained that their new assignments were harder than their old assignments. In July 2002, Talamantes asked to be transferred to another school, but there were no vacancies. She was told to check back after the school year started in August. Talamantes asked for a transfer again in the fall of 2002 and was transferred to another school at the same pay, benefits, and schedule.
Talamantes has not received psychological or medical care for anything related to her harassment.

Although Talamantes stated that she was unaware of the existence of the policy until after she had filed her complaint, her ignorance and lack of understanding of the policy is directly contradicted by the text and format of her August 15, 2001, Sexual Harassment Staff Complaint Form. The complaint form Talamantes submitted follows the exact format of the District's official complaint form, GAM-E. (Perry Aff.; Sanders Aff.). Further, the record shows that Talamantes was well aware that she could complain to the Westview administration about work-related matters, including McCray's alleged conduct, and that she used every available opportunity to pursue complaints on behalf of herself and others.

(FinalCall.com) - America has to first face the reality of her condition, said Minister Farrakhan during his Oct. 21 national address, and it begins with challenging the concept of "American exceptionalism" which he described as an "exceptional lie."
Going back to references first attributed to political thinker and historian Alexis de Tocqueville in the 19th century, American exceptionalism is defined as "the belief that the United States is different from other countries in that it has a specific world mission to spread liberty and democracy.

(CNN) Pakistan airspace remained closed Thursday morning local time as the country's increasingly fraught tensions with India disrupted thousands of flights worldwide for the second straight day.
All international and domestic commercial flights in and out of Pakistan were canceled "until further notice," Pakistan's Civil Aviation Authority told CNN.
Thousands of people were also stranded by affected airlines that not only land in Pakistan, but fly over its airspace -- one of the major routes from Southeast Asia into Europe.
Thai Airways announced that all its European routes "departing near midnight of 27 FEB through early 28 FEB" were canceled "due to sudden closure of Pakistani airspace as a result of tension between India and Pakistan."
On Thursday morning, there were no Thai Airways flights between Bangkok and London, Munich, Paris, Brussels,the risks of accidental, unauthorized, or mistaken launch. A full squadron of Minuteman missiles would be removed immediately from launch-readiness status.

Why are these changes necessary? Our current, outdated nuclear strategy requires preparations for the first use of U.S. nuclear weapons, including preemptive nuclear strikes against Russia, China and North Korea as well as nations that do not even possess nuclear weapons, such as Iran (and until very recently, Syria). The strategy emphasizes war-fighting—meaning that the majority of targets are nuclear forces and the command centers that direct them. Dressed up as “deterrence requirements,” the war-fighting goal is to destroy the vast bulk of nearly 1,000 aim points in Russia (including 100 in the Moscow area), 500 in China, and scores in North Korea and Iran. It defies common

Maryland's longtime head football trainer, yelled, "Drag his ass across the field!"
A second player at the workout told ESPN: "Jordan was obviously not in control of his body. He was flopping all around. There were two trainers on either side of him bearing a lot of weight. They interlocked their legs with his in order to keep him standing."
Maryland officials have said McNair "was talking to our trainers throughout" and that after the completion of the workout, the trainers "began supporting an active recovery and providing care."
Multiple sources estimated that trainers walked McNair around for about 80 yards after he started showing distress.
"They tried to walk him for a while after he collapsed," the second player who spoke to ESPN said. "His head, he barely had control overit. His head was limp to the point where it was back. They were walking him across the field to get him up and moving, I guess. But then they basically took him over to position drills, which took a long time. I didn't see them bring him in, but it was a while."
The first player who spoke to ESPN said: "It was a good [distance] for a guy in his state to be walking, and it was away from the athletic training building, away from any resource that he probably needed at the time. Probably 100 percent the opposite way."
Maryland officials said trainers walked with McNair as part of their active recovery efforts before he was taken by a motorized cart to the athletic training room in

(CNN) The Trump administration's approach to its latest asylum policy will encourage more people to cross the border illegally, the head of the Border Patrol's union told CNN on Friday, warning that officials are "opening up a Pandora's box."
The policy, which officials have said would begin on Friday, would send some asylum seekers back across the border to Mexico while their cases are pending in US immigration courts.
"This is attacking the legal process, because it's discouraging people from following the law," National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd said.
"We are incentivizing illegal immigration and punishing legal immigration."
It's rare for the president of the Border Patrol union -- who supported Trump on the campaign trail and recently stood beside him in Washington to help make the case for aMexico.
Mexican officials said Friday afternoon that they'd been informed by the US Embassy that 20 Central American migrants would be returned to Mexico through the San Ysidro Port of Entry "in the next few hours."
But there are still many unanswered questions about how the policy will work -- and what will happen next.
This isn't the first time Judd has criticized the administration. Last year, after officials deployed National Guard troops to the border, he called that effort a "colossal waste."
The Border Patrol union chief told CNN on Friday that the new policy won't be effective as long as migrants can still cross the border illegally and seek asylum.

BMW, meanwhile, has finalized plans to produce electric Minis in the country through a joint venture with Great Wall Motor. It's also joining the board of Apollo, an autonomous driving project from Chinese internet firm Baidu (BIDU).
Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler (DMLRY) extended a deal with Tsinghua University to continue the development of automated cars.
"China is the biggest market for us and when we want to go autonomous, we have to make sure it works in China," Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche said in Hong Kong.
German auto parts firm Continental also inked a new partnership with Uber rival Didi Chuxingion fractions as the diameter of the cathode increases. This adds to the overall cost of the system and the cost of ownership. Further, using the DC power to the magnetron source to achieve plasma density means that the deposition rate and the ionization fraction are inextricably linked, where higher DC power gives a higher deposition rate and a higher ion fraction. A greater problem with the HCM than delivering the power to the cathode has been removing heat. The inventors of the HCM point out in their patent that the power required to operate the HCM increases as the cube of the diameter, while the cooling increases with the diameter squared. It would therefore be difficult to scale an HCM source to larger diameters while maintaining the

(CNN) -- Jimmy Fallon left us with great memories after five years on "Late Night," but the pressure was on for his first time hosting "The Tonight Show" on Monday.
Yet at the end of the hour, we were left with a "Tonight Show" that offered both surprising moments and big laughs, although it might've included a lot more than we'll see on an average night, since it was Fallon's first show.
Will Smith was the night's guest, U2 provided some music, and house band the Roots was as sharp as ever. (As Fallon said during his opening monologue, they're "the most talented band in all the land," and he "couldn't do the show" without them.)
That alone was a set-up for a great show, but Fallon also called on celebrityof wisdom:
2. A family affair
Fallon's dad, whom he jokingly referenced in his final "Late Night" episode as being disappointed in him, showed up along with the 39-year-old comedian's mom. Seeing his parents in the audience was a sweet moment for a guy who probably only dreamed he might ever host "The Tonight Show" as a kid. It was a nice way to start the show before getting into the typical monologue jokes.
3. The parade of cameos
Moments after sitting down to his desk for the first time, Fallon made reference to a "buddy" who owed him $100 after betting he would never host "The Tonight Show."
The next thing you know, Robert De Niro (Fallon's first "Late Night" guest) showed up with a $100 bill. Then Tina Fey followed with

(1907), the court held that state wrongful death statutes could be applied to death on the high seas.
In 1920, as the court in Mobil phrased it, "Congress repudiated the rule of The Harrisburg for maritime deaths occurring beyond the territorial waters of any state." It did so by passing DOSHA, the Death On The High Seas Act, found in 46 U.S.C. 761 et seq. In the act it created a remedy in admiralty for wrongful death more than three miles from shore. As the annotation in 66 ALR 2d 1002 points out, while the statute, adopted in 1920, undoubtedly was adopted to provide a cause of action for death on the high seas in connection with sea going vessels, it was thereafter successfully asserted as providing a causeof action for death occurring over or on the high seas as the result of an airplane accident.
However, in Executive Jet v. Cleveland, 409 U.S. 249, 93 S.Ct. 493, 34 L.Ed.2d 454 (1972), a jet aircraft crash landed and sank in the navigable waters of Lake Erie shortly after take off from a Cleveland airport. The plane was on a charter flight to pick up passengers and then continue to White Plains, New York.
The court pointed out that determination whether a tort is "maritime" and thus within the admiralty jurisdiction has traditionally depended upon the locality of the wrong. If the wrong occurred in navigable waters the action was within admiralty jurisdiction. It went ahead to state that test worked well in an era when it was difficult

weaponry gave him. Living next to 102, he suffered from allergy and once lost
it and killed a cat. As the "gun maniac" admits himself, he felt good when
doing it ("It was way cool."), which makes us remember Eddie from SH2. He
killed a dog - "Yeah, I killed that dog. IT WAS FUN! It tried to chew its own
guts out! Finally died all curled up in a ball". He made up an excuse for that
- said that the dog was making fun of him, as did all other people: "B,but...
it wasn’t my fault. He, he made me do it! That guy... he, he had it coming! I
didn’t do anything. He just cameafter me! Besides he was making fun of me
with his eyes! Like that other one... Just like that stupid dog.". The "gun

self-defense (from allergy) or because he WANTED to kill somebody? - makes you
think of the rise of violence, doesn't it?

(UNDP) runs various projects in the area for the development of tribal people, but most the committee members are Buddhists who deprive the Christians of UNDP assistance, he said. The aid includes financial help for ginger cultivation and small cattle farming and cooperative money given through a committee selected from among the villagers.
“When they were Buddhist, they used to get all the aid provided by the UNDP,” Tripura said. “But when they became Christians, they started facing problems. Recently the committee members took away eight passbooks from Christian villagers given by the UNDP for getting financial help.”
Tripura said he informed the district UNDP office, and officials there said they would look into it.
The United Peoples Democratic Front (UPDF), an armed group in the hill districts that is also1973, had fought for autonomy in the region for 25 years, leaving nearly 8,500 troops, rebels and civilians killed. After signing a peace accord in 1997 with the Bangladesh government, the PCJSS laid down arms.
But the UPDF, founded in 1998 and based in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, has strong and serious reservations against the Chittagong Hill Tracts Accord signed in 1997. Claiming that the agreement failed to address fundamental demands of the indigenous Jumma people, the UPDF has pledged to fight for their full autonomy.
The Chittagong Hill Tracts region comprises three districts: Bandarban, Khagrachuri and Rangamati. The region is surrounded by the Indian states of Tripura on the north and Mizoram on the east, Myanmar on the south and east.

(legend states that the aforementioned counterfeiting operation took place in this room); also features is a so-called "acoustic room" where two people can whisper and hear each other from opposite corners. Upstairs can be found a sumptuous clock manufactured in England in 1730, as well as an observation deck. The decor featured in the tower's interior today is unfortunately not original to the building, and most rooms are filled with dull exhibits. The unusual structure and peculiar clock are, nevertheless, a good reason to go inside.
Entering the Tower is only possible via guided tours organized by the local museum. These cost 200 rubles per person or 1250 rubles for a group of up to 5 people (2012). The tours, which can be tedious, relate local myths concerning thetower and are typically given in Russian; however, advance booking is not required. English translation can be had for an extra price; book at least one week in advance for this. On weekends, tours are conducted every half an hour, rendering the narrow passages of the Tower very congested.
The vicinity of the Tower is a mishmash of gleaming modern buildings and somewhat decrepit older structures. The Transfiguration Cathedral, a bright-yellow Classical-style edifice built in 1824-1830 and rebuilt in the 2000s, boasts a fine faience iconostasis. The bizarre monument to Peter the Great and Nikita Demidov abuts a copper-colored brick building that dates to the early 20th century. Formerly a power plant, this edifice presently houses a museum.

(CNN) Director Milos Forman, known for his work on Oscar-winning films "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and "Amadeus," has died, his agent said.
He was 86 years old, according to Dennis Aspland, Forman's representative.
Forman was born in Caslav, Czech Republic, in 1932.
His father was a member of a resistance group against the Nazi occupation. Both his parents were killed in Nazi concentration camps during World War II, according to Forman's official biography.
"My parents were real patriots, and that was probably the reason why they died. Not until much later, when I was suddenly far from my homeland and its culture, far away from my family, when I was cut away from the land of my childhood, I realized I shared this strong feeling of affection for my countrywith them," Forman had said, according to his biography.
He had been fascinated with theater since an early age and later founded an amateur theater group in the 1950s. He eventually studied direction at the Prague Film Academy.
He became an established foreign film director in the 1960s for "Loves of a Blonde" and "The Firemen's Ball," which were nominated for Oscars in the best foreign-language film category.
In 1968, he moved from what was then Czechoslovakia to the United Sates after Warsaw Pact troops invaded the country to crush the "Prague Spring."
In 1975, he rose to fame when he directed Hollywood blockbuster "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," an adaptation from a Ken Kesey novel. The film starring Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher won five Oscars, including best picture and

Fifteen years ago, on August 30, 1999, thousands of East Timorese voters lined up to exercise their long-denied right to self-determination, a process that had been interrupted by Indonesia’s U.S.-backed invasion and occupation in 1975. By noon of that day, most had chosen independence (in preference to an "enhanced autonomy"). As the United Nations announced the result, the Indonesian military and its militia proxies began their long-threatened wave of destruction and violence. This was meant both to punish the East Timorese for their choice and to send a message to other rebellious areas, especially West Papua and Aceh.
After a short period of UN administration, East Timor finally became the independent Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste on May 20, 2002. Timor’s successful referendum inspired hopes for many in West Papua

At this time, a signal inputted to the input terminal is muted on the output of the amplifier in accordance with the ratio between the first resistor and the ON resistance of the NchMOS transistor. Further, a negative potential equivalent to the power supply potential is applied to the gate of the NchMOS transistor and the back gate of the NchMOS transistor through the second resistor to turn off the NchMOS transistor. At this time, the signal having been inputted to the input terminal is driven by the amplifier without being muted, and then is outputted to the output terminal.

For the reasons stated in the balance of this Memorandum Decision, the court grants a preliminary injunction prohibiting foreclosure pending entry of judgment after trial on the complaint.
PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
On June 19, 2003, the court entered an Order Granting Relief From Automatic Stay (the "Order Granting Relief From Stay") in favor of Chase. The events leading up to that order are explained in the factual background below. Chase scheduled a foreclosure sale for August 8, 2003.

The expanded label, which could significantly boost annual sales, is for use with other medicines to treat patients suffering from chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, the companies said in a joint statement.
The FDA first approved Dupixent in 2017 for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, or eczema, and in 2018 it won U.S. approval to treat moderate-to-severe asthma as well.
Chronic rhinosinusitis is a persistent inflammation of the mucous membranes in the nose and sinuses that can lead to developmentto the nonmovant."[3]

they were written: is the populace's faith in a public official often determined by the successes and failures of those who formulate and implement policy on behalf of the official? Springing from the 2002 election of Jonathan G. Newell to the office of State's Attorney for Caroline County, Maryland, the present case bears on the rub which occurs when government employees, after throwing their support behind an incumbent public official who ultimately is ousted by the electorate, seek to retain their positions under the new administration. We here consider what has changed since Machiavelli's time.
In January 2000, Robert Greenleaf was appointed ad interim State's Attorney, following the retirement of Christopher J. Jensen, who served as the elected State's Attorney from 1986 to 2000. Greenleaf decided to run forthe position in the 2002 election and secured the Democratic nomination; however, his Republican challenger, Newell, defeated him in the General Election.
Five weeks after his victory, Newell held a meeting with three of the ten existing employees of the State's Attorney's Office (the "SAO"), at which he informed them that their employment would be terminated when he took office. Newell kept his word, firing all three upon assuming office in January 2003. Two of the discharged employees, Susan Runnels and Marjorie Cooper (collectively the "Plaintiffs"),[1] brought suit in the Circuit Court for Worcester County[2] against Newell and the State of Maryland (collectively the "State Defendants"), as well as the County Commissioners for Caroline County (the "County"), alleging that their firings were unconstitutional because they were based on the

The scholars, led by psychologist Jean Twenge of San Diego State University, strongly suspects those two trends are related. "The rapid adoption of smart-phone technology in the early 2010s may have had a marked negative impact," they write in the journal Emotion.
Twenge and her colleagues analyzed data from the Monitoring the Future project, an annual, nationally representative survey of 1.1 million eighth, 10th, and 12th grade students. The kids answered a series of questions revealing their levels of self-esteem, happiness, and satisfaction with various elements of their lives.
"After staying steady or rising between 1991 and 2011, adolescents' psychological well-being dropped noticeably between 2012 and 2016," theyreport. "Self-esteem declined after 2012, as did measures of self-satisfaction, life satisfaction, and domain satisfaction." The latter category included large declines in "satisfaction with life as a whole, friends, amount of fun, self, and personal safety."
In a second study, the researchers looked at the respondents' media usage, including how much time they watched television, and the amount of time they spent on the Internet "not counting work for school or a job." The kids also reported how much time they spend on homework, and how often they engage in offline activities such as playing sports and socializing with friends.
"Adolescents who spent more time on electronic communication and screens (social media, texting, electronic games, the Internet) were less happy, less satisfied with their lives, and had lower self-esteem, especially

(CNN) Defense Secretary Mark Esper "fired" Navy Secretary Richard Spencer for going outside of his chain of command by proposing a "secret agreement with the White House" in the case of Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher, according to a senior defense official.
Esper on Sunday asked for Spencer's resignation after "losing trust" and "confidence in him," according to a statement from the Pentagon.
Spencer on Sunday submitted a letter to President Donald Trump that acknowledged his termination.
Read Spencer's letter below:Medicaid eligibility policy and the crowding-out effect: did women and children drop private health insurance to enroll in Medicaid.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the federal government expanded Medicaid eligibility for children and pregnant women. By 1992, nearly a third of all children in the United States were eligible for Medicaid, and between 40 and 50 percent of women of childbearing age were eligible for Medicaid coverage for pregnancy-related services. During this period, the number of persons with employment-based insurance coverage declined, leading researchers to investigate whether Medicaid expansions have contributed to this decline--a so-called crowding-out effect. This Issue Brief discusses research findings and the health policy implications of the crowding-out effect.

DOES THE PORTLAND POLICE BUREAU NEED A BASIC CULTURAL OVERHAUL?
The following is from the U.S. Department of Justice web site:
The United States and the city of Portland, Ore., have jointly filed in federal court a proposed court enforceable settlement agreement to remedy constitutional claims that the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) engages in a pattern or practice of unconstitutional uses of force in response to “low-level offenses” against persons with actual or perceived mental illness. The agreement addresses the allegations described in a civil action also filed today by the United States, under provisions of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 for alleged violations of the Fourth Amendment of the U.S.

INTERNATIONAL HEADLINES!!!!
Richard White, aka Richard Harris White, aka Richard H. White, of Kenner, Louisiana, was the 63 year-old African-American JEHOVAH'S WITNESS MINISTER who was shot at theLouis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, on March 20, 2015, after he entered the airport carrying a bag containing a machete, a high-pressure canister of wasp spray, multiple smoke bombs, 6 molotov cocktails, and other items. There, Richard White attacked two agents at a TSA checkpoint with the wasp spray before pulling the machete and chasing a third, female TSA agent. Richard Harris White was shot three times just before he was able to slash the fleeing TSA agent.
Airport authoritiessoon located Richard White's automobile which was stopped on the top ramp just outside the main doors of the airport terminal. In the trunk of White's automobile were found three compressed gas canisters containing highly explosive acetylene gas (alternatively reported as "propane" gas), oxygen (which accentuates the explosiveness of the acetylene/propane), and freon (???). Richard White actually may have been planning to CARBOMB the airport terminal, but possibly became frustrated with his inability to effectuate that part of his plan, so reverted to the alternative.
JW Minister Richard H. White and his JW Wife, Elaine White, had spent the morning of the attack performing door-to-door "field service". Authorities apparently knew that Richard White was a Jehovah's Witness because he may have carrying a "No Blood"card which was found when

(Examiner's Report, Vol. I, at 102, 105). As a result of that process, on April 1, 2007, based on the recommendation of the Special Committee, the Board approved a series of transactions with a newly formed Tribune Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP"), EGI-TRB, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company wholly owned by Sam Investment Trust, a trust established for the benefit of Samuel Zell and his family ("EGI" or the "Zell Entity") and Samuel Zell ("Zell"). (DCL Ex. 1389, at TRB0430839). This Leveraged ESOP Transaction (also referred to as the "2007 Leveraged Buy-out" or the "LBO") was consummated in two principal steps, commonly referred to as "Step One" and "Step Two".
In Step One, the newly formed ESOP purchased 8,928,571 shares of Tribune common stock at $28 perand expense plan and modifying the Examiner Order. The Examiner's principal duties were to:
(1) Evaluate the potential claims and causes of action held by the Debtors' estates that are asserted by the Parties (as defined in the Examiner Order) in connection with the leveraged buy-out of Tribune that occurred in 2007 [defined as the LBO-Related Causes of Action] which may be asserted against any entity which may bear liability, including without limitation, the Debtors, the Debtors' former and/or present management, former and/or present members of Tribune's board of directors, the Debtors' lenders and the Debtors' advisors, said potential claims and causes of action including, but not being limited to, claims for fraudulent conveyance, breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, and equitable subordination, and

God", the group would join hands and engage in a screaming session that lasted several minutes. "At the time it felt therapeutic," she says. Mark and Rose were under the impression the group's teachings were drawn from the Bible. In fact, the majority come from the group's founder. Spriggs, 76, is a mysterious figure: a former football player, boxer and soldier, a charismatic evangelist whose rejection of "rote religion" in the 1970s proved popular with the "Jesus freaks" of the counterculture. Though initially predicated on an open-door policy - there was "no leader", and everyone was a "priest" - his movement has become increasingly fundamentalist and authoritarian. "Spriggs regards himself as the Anointed One, with a direct pipeline to God," says David Pike, an ex-member of one thegroup's tribes, Manasseh, in the US. "He comes off as loving but is the perfect picture of a narcissistic cult leader. One thing I'll always remember is what he used to call a 'spirit check', when he'd come up behind a male disciple and slap his back as hard as he could and wait to see the person's reaction, whether he winced or jumped or brought his fists up. I hated it." Spriggs is thought to live mostly in Hiddenite, in North Carolina, in an antebellum mansion the group bought in 2006. But he also travels a lot, flying from community to community, his every word transcribed into "teachings" (or "the anointing") which are published in Intertribal News, the movement's in-house newsletter.

In this action, plaintiff American NTN Bearing Manufacturing Corporation (hereinafter "ANBM") challenges the legality of a scope clarification issued by the International Trade Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce ("ITA"). This clarification concerned the scope of an antidumping duty order covering tapered roller bearings ("TRBs") and parts thereof, finished or unfinished, from Japan. See 52 Fed.Reg. 37352 (October 6, 1987), amended, 52 Fed.Reg. 47955 (December 17, 1987). Plaintiff claims the scope clarification was unsupported by substantial evidence in the administrative record and was otherwise not in accordance with the law. Oral argument was held at the Court on April 25, 1990.
