character image code D21 to which the predictive character image data PDi is added, and the character code Dco.
Accordingly, when it is decided that the character image which is specified by the character code Dco matches the predictive character image corresponding to the character image code D21, the character image corresponding to the character image code D21 is known without decoding the character image code D21, whereby the shape of the character image corresponding to the character image code D21 can be compared with the shape of another character image.
Twenty-Second Embodiment
FIG. 22 is a block diagram illustrating the structure of a character collation apparatus according to a twenty-second embodiment of the present invention. This twenty-second embodiment corresponds to the forty-first aspect described above.
A character collation apparatus 2200 ofis included in the character image code D22.
Therefore, it is possible to collate the character image corresponding to the character image code D22 to which the predictive character image identifier Pid is added, with the character image corresponding to the character code Dco.

That is, the character collation apparatus 2300 is provided with: a first image feature extraction means 2301 which receives the character image code D23, extracts the image feature from the predictive character image which is indicated by the predictive character image data PDi added to the character image code D23, and outputs first image feature data Vc1; and a second image feature extraction means 2302 which receives the character code Dco, extracts the image feature of the character image which is specified by the character code Dco, and outputs second image feature data Vc2.
The second image feature extraction means 2302 comprises a character image generation means 2303 which generates character image data Di of the character image which is specified by the character code Dco, anddescribed for the eleventh embodiment.
The operation of the character collation apparatus 2300 will now be described.
When the character image code D23 to which the predictive character image identifier Pid is added and the character code Dco are input to the character collation apparatus 2300 of this twenty-third embodiment, the first image feature extraction means 2301 extracts the image feature from the predictive character image which is indicated by the predictive character image identifier Pid, and outputs first image character data Vc1.
The character image generation means 2303 performs a process similar to that described for the character image generation means 2002 of the twentieth embodiment based on the character code Dco. Further, the feature extraction means 2304 performs an image feature extraction process similar to that described for the

According to the Atlanta Constitution-Journal, the raid produced no drugs, no weapons, no bundles of cash, and no suspected drug dealer. It was just another of the thousands of mistakes routinely made by SWAT goons who put American citizens at risk every time they break unannounced into a home, usually a wrong address.A police favorite is to murder the family's pets. When the Middletons, ranchers in Rains County, Texas, called the sheriff's department to report a burglary of their home and the theft of firearms, the first thing the deputy did when he arrived was to shoot the Middleton's three-year-old, 40-pound Australian cattle dog, Candy, in the head. In PrinceGeorge's County, Maryland, cops on a mistaken drug raid broke into the mayor's home and murdered his two non-aggressive black Labradors while holding the mayor and his mother-in-law at gun point.Another police favorite is to humiliate their arrested victim, especially women, by stripping them naked. The abuse of women has become routine. In a recent case, a 31-year-old white mother of four in New Albany, Indiana, was arrested for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest after a fight with her estranged husband. In police parlance, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest mean that the woman protested the false arrest and raised her voice. As most Americans have no idea about the police, they are shocked and disbelieving when they experience a police encounter. Until they have an encounter with the

DeRego was waiting further down the street. While the defendant sat and waited on a bench on the sidewalk, Jimbo went over to DeRego. After talking to him, Jimbo returned and delivered the money to the defendant. The defendant testified that he personally did not profit from the transaction. Asked why he became involved in the first place, he explained:
Because Jimbo looked sick and he was just, kept sniffling to me like and to Gregg too that if he didn't do it, he was really bad off and I did it as a favor to Jimbo and to makeState. At the hearing on the defendant's motion to produce witness, the government stipulated that on April 2, 1976, Jimbo was escorted to the Honolulu International Airport by members of the Honolulu Police Department. It also stipulated that the police had an agreement with Jimbo to dismiss pending charges against him in exchange for putting the police in contact with drug peddlers in the Waikiki area. Officer Morris DeRego, the undercover police participant in the drug transaction, was one of two officers who took Jimbo to the airport. He testified:

White House lawyers reportedly recommended to Donald Trump that Jared Kushner should resign from his role as senior adviser before reports about his undisclosed Russian contacts became public.
Concerns about the President's son-in-law's possible entanglement in a US probe into Russian interference in the presidential election led a number of Mr Trump's lawyers to conclude he should step down, according to a report.
Although the view was not held by every member of the White House legal team, it was expressed to Mr Trump during at least one meeting in June, people familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal.
The President's lawyers were reportedly concerned that someone so close to the President appeared to have had the most interactions with the Russians. They were also worried about his failureto report contact with foreign officials when applying for his security clearance, sources told the paper.
Mr Kushner, husband of Mr Trump's daughter Ivanka, said in July he had four contacts with senior Russian officials during the campaign and transition, but denied colluding with Moscow.
Aides drafted a statement in preparation for Mr Kushner's resignation, where he would say critics were wrongly weaponising meetings, two sources told the paper.
Yet the President disagreed with his lawyers' conclusion that Mr Kushner should resign, saying he did not believe he had done anything wrong. Mr Kushner still acts as a senior adviser to Mr Trump.

were at the Montana Club in downtown Anchorage. As was her custom, M.M. had no alcoholic beverages to drink. As the evening wore on the smoke-filled air of the club began to bother M.M., so she went out the club's back door for some fresh air.
M.M. testified that while she was outside two black men ordered her into a car. Fearing for her safety, M.M. got into the car. The men then drove to an apartment in the Mountain View area of Anchorage.
According to M.M., they eventually arrived at a four-plex apartment building and went into a downstairs apartment. M.M. testified that shortly thereafter several other black men came to the apartment, but soon left at the request of one of the two men that first accosted her.M.M. then stated that one of the two men took her into the bedroom and raped her.
M.M. testified that after the first man left the bedroom, his companion entered. She attempted to leave, but her second assailant pushed her onto the bed, spraining her toe, and threatened to harm her if she did not submit. She testified that he forced her to perform oral sex, then raped her.
According to M.M., her second assailant then told her to shower; instead, when the man left the room, she hid in the closet. Subsequently, she was able to run from the apartment, leaving her clothes behind. M.M. testified that she ran to the upper story of the apartment building and hid in the laundry room, behind a clothes washer. Later, covering

herself with a bathmat from the laundry room, she rang the doorbell of a neighboring apartment. The tenant let M.M. in and she informed him she had just been raped by two black men downstairs. The tenant then called the police.
The tenant testified that, while waiting for the police to arrive, he observed a black male leave the apartment building with a bundle in his arms. The black male ran down the street until out of view and returned, empty-handed, within ten to twenty seconds. The tenant's description of the man matched Walker's appearance when arrested, as to length of hair, moustache, and general description of clothing, although the tenant overestimated Walker's height and weight. At trial, the tenant identified Walker as the man he saw that evening.
Arrivingshortly after the tenant's call, the police found M.M. in the upstairs apartment covered with only a sheet. After listening to her story and obtaining a description of her assailants, two officers went to the downstairs apartment, while another maintained a watch outside the apartment to ensure that no one left. The tenant later directed one of the arriving officers to the place he had seen the man run to earlier; the officer found M.M.'s clothes there, buried in the snow.
Meanwhile, the other officers found seven occupants in the downstairs apartment, six black males and one Alaska Native female. One of the men was the defendant, Jimmy Lee Walker. Subsequently, when M.M. was escorted to the officer's car, she looked into the downstairs apartment's front window and identified

message was that M.M. had identified one of the five black men in the room as one of her assailants. Officer Smidt heard the radio contact but did not heard the radio contact but did not hear the contents.
Officer Reeder asked Loy which of the two men standing next to him had been identified; Loy radioed back that it was the man dressing. Moments later Walker walked back into the living room from the kitchen, and Loy radioed that M.M. had identified him as the other assailant.
The testimony thus shows that the officers inside the apartment were unaware that M.M. was outside scrutinizing the occupants until the first identification was made. The men were not paraded in front of the window one by one, as Walker contends, butwere milling about. The entire occurrence was over in about twenty seconds.
Officer Loy testified as to what took place outside the apartment. After M.M. put on her clothes, Officer Loy volunteered to take M.M. to the hospital. He testified that they went to his patrol car, which was parked in front of the building. According to him, as he bent down to unlock the back door, M.M. exclaimed that she saw one of her assailants. Officer Loy turned around and saw that she was pointing at a man visible through the picture window of apartment no. 4. The window was approximately four feet by six feet in dimension. Officer Loy stated the total sight distance was twenty to twenty-five feet.
The men were plainly visible. Officer Loy radioed to

A work-study position came open at Chucalissa and I was hired! I was actually being paid to work in an archaeology lab instead of a department store. Life was good. I added anthropology to my geology minor earning a BS in history and MA in Anthropology from the University of Memphis. My academic specialties are archaeology, paleontology, history of 19th and 20th century medical, agricultural, and domestic technology, and local history. I have remained in archaeology and museum work ever since. Personally, I love Mozart and alien/giant insect movies.

abuses, including human trafficking, forced labor, and child sexual assault and exploitation.
On Thursday, another shoe dropped when a 25-year-old woman identified only as Jane Doe filed the third lawsuit against the church since June.
The lawsuits follow several years of renewed public scrutiny over the secretive church and its inner workings, which largely remain an enigma to outsiders. Part of the attention came in 2016, when the actress and former Scientologist Leah Remini developed an Emmy-winning documentary series detailing the experiences of the church's former members.

that it had been procured by fraud on the Patent Office. The second count, which is the one with which we are immediately concerned, was a common law action for fraud and deceit in which the government seeks to recover millions of dollars in damages on account of alleged overcharges for the drug which the government allegedly had been required to pay in connection with its purchases of the product for use in this country and abroad. The third count alleges that the defendants unlawfully conspired to violate and violated provisions of the federal antitrust laws in the marketing and pricing of the drug, and the government seeks to recover actual damages for the alleged overcharges as authorized by the 1955 addition to § 4A ofdefendants to market the drug at higher prices than it would have brought on the market had it been unpatented, that overcharges for the drug were a foreseeable consequence of the fraud, and that the fraud was a proximate cause of the damages that the government contends that it has sustained in connection with its purchases of the drug. It will be observed that the government is suing as a consumer, in fact probably the largest consumer of them all.

In support of their motion for summary judgment the defendants contended that a consumer, including the government, has no private right of action for damages for overcharges for a patented article simply because the patent was or may have been obtained by means of a fraud on the

is more to come from his Manchester United team-mate Marcus Rashford Jesse Lingard believes there is more to come from his Manchester United team-mate Marcus Rashford
Youth continues to be given a chance this season, whether due to injuries, guaranteed European progress or the search for a winning formula.
All three of the scorers in the 3-3 draw at Sheffield United came through the academy - the first time that has happened since Scholes, Beckham and Giggs each found the net in a 5-0 win over Nottingham Forest in April 1996.
Nine of the 11 starters in Astana in the Europa League recently were home-grown products, while of the seven others who made up the bench in Kazakhstan three came on as substitutes.
Only three members of that squad were older than19, which made it the youngest Manchester United team ever assembled.
Individually, Mason Greenwood has enjoyed a promising start to his Manchester United career.
The club's youngest Premier League starter at 17 years and 223 days against Cardiff in May, his goal against Astana at Old Trafford in September made him their youngest scorer in Europe and the first player born in the 21st century to register a goal in the famous red shirt.
Mason Greenwood has made 17 senior appearances for Manchester United this season
However, this season, it is another academy graduate who has emerged as a leader within the team and a consistent source of goals for Solskjaer.

of analysis, and did significant work in mathematical physics.
His love of music and painting may have motivated some of his
mathematics:
He studied vibrating strings; and
also wrote an important treatise on perspective in drawing
which helped develop the fields of both projective
and descriptive geometry.
His work in projective geometry rediscovered Desargues' Theorem, introduced
terms like vanishing point, and influenced Lambert.
Taylor was one of the few mathematicians of the Bernoulli era
who was equal to them in genius, but his work
was much less influential.
Today he is most remembered for Taylor Series and the associated
Taylor's Theorem, but he shouldn't get full credit for this.
The method had been anticipated by earlier mathematicians including
Gregory, Leibniz, Newton, and, even earlier, Madhava; and was not fully
appreciated until the work of Maclaurin and Lagrange.
Maclaurin received a University degree in divinity
at age14, with a treatise on gravitation.
He became one of the most brilliant mathematicians
of his era. He wrote extensively on Newton's method of fluxions,
and the theory of equations, advancing these fields;
worked in optics, and other areas of
mathematical physics; but is most noted
for his work in geometry. Lagrange said Maclaurin's geometry was as beautiful
and ingenious as anything by Archimedes. Clairaut, seeing Maclaurin's
methods, decided that he too would prove theorems with geometry
rather than analysis.
Maclaurin did important work on ellipsoids; for his work on tides he shared the
Paris Prize with Euler and Daniel Bernoulli.
As Scotland's top genius, he was called upon for practical work,
including politics.
Although Maclaurin's work was quite influential, his influence
didn't really match his outstanding brilliance:
he failed to adopt Leibnizian calculus with which great progress

The railroad network in the United States includes a number of railroad systems that are owned by different companies. Together, these systems comprise a complete railroad network that connects locations across the nation. Although some railroad companies also own their own railcars, many railcars are owned by other companies that do not own any part of the railroad network itself. To move from one location to another, therefore, one company's railcars frequently need to travel over another company's railroad system.
Repair facilities are positioned at various locations throughout the railroad network. These facilities are available to perform any necessary repairs to railcars in the area. The repair facilities are owned

exception record in the database 108. The billing exception record may contain information identifying the bill to which an exception is taken, the amount of the exception, and the reasons justifying the exception. The vendor 104 is then notified of the customer's billing exceptions in step 508. Preferably, this notification is via an electronic mail message generated by the billing verification system 100, 200 and sent to the vendor 104.
The vendor 104 then accesses the database 108 and reviews the billing exception records in step 510 to identify acceptable billing exceptions. Like the customer review, vendor review may include review by a number of vendor employees, such as field representatives in remote locations. The vendor may approve, disapprove, or partially approve each billing exception. In each case, thebilling verification system 100, 200 generates a billing exception response record in the database 108. The billing exception response record may contain information indicating whether the exception has been approved or disapproved, as well as a reason for the approval or disapproval. If the exception is partially approved, the billing exception response record also may include the partially approved dollar value. The billing verification system 100, 200 then notifies the customer of the vendor's billing exception responses in step 514. Like the vendor notification, customer notification preferably is via an electronic mail message generated by the billing verification system 100, 200 and sent to the customer.
In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the billing verification system 100, 200 is used in the specific industry of railcar repair.

FAREWELL FRED: THE FINEST FAST BOWLER EVER TO DRAW BREATH. 1931-2006.
Fredrick Sewards Trueman, the greatest fast bowler in the history of test cricket, died of cancer on Saturday. Cricket is a love of mine, which, up until now, I have not blogged about. Over the next few days I am going to put that right.
I shed a tear on Saturday, a genuine tear; for someone who I never met, never knew and furthermore, never in the flesh saw play, the most beautiful and civilised game that God has provided man the ingredients to devise.
He was fiercely proud to have played for his country, and when he did, he gave every ounce he had. It seems ironic that such a man should die on the

gone ahead of him.
Capela might be the biggest sleeper in the entire draft. He showed tons of promise for Chalon in the French league and Eurocup last season, but his stock dropped after a disappointing showing at the Hoop Summit. He's only 20, and everyone loves his attitude and his approach to the game.
Pairing him with Dwight Howard is potentially scary for opponents. He'll guard the pick-and-roll effectively, and be a big target for alley-oops out of the pick-and-roll on the other end. He isn't exactly a huge shot-blocker, but he's athletic and long and has good timing. He'll be able to shoot the midrange jumper, too. If he develops as he should, think Amir Johnson.
With Noah Vonleh falling to Charlotte at No. 9 as well, this draftgo late in the first round, and in the second round this was a no-brainer for Philly.
He's an incredible athlete, and he'll be a beast in transition on both ends. He does the things wings are supposed to do in 2014 in the NBA, meaning he's not the type to force up bad 2-point jumpers. If McDaniels is just able to hit spot-up 3s, this is a great get.
He's similar to McDaniels in that he projects as a tenacious defender right away. Early is a bit unpolished offensively considering he's 23 years old, but competes like crazy and made 37 percent of his threes last season with the Shockers.
The Knicks want to change the culture, and, while rookies can't do that on their own, Early can absolutely be

a part of that. New York fans will love him.
Stokes gets to stay in his home state, and the Grizzlies get an NBA-ready rebounder in the second round. He was a banger in college and will remain a banger in the NBA, but he grew up playing on the outside. If he can hit midrange jumpers as a pro, what a win this would be for Memphis.
Dinwiddie fell because he's coming off a torn ACL, but if the Pistons are patient with him, it could pay off in a big way. He's an efficient, confident, smart combo guard who can shoot and create and plays hard on defense. Stan Van Gundy is the perfect coach for him.
This is tremendous value this late in the draft. He has fantasticOutrageous: A Peru keeper almost decapitates a striker, avoids dismissal & then saves penalty
This is a story about karma.
Saturday in the Peruvian top flight saw Pacífico take on rivals Unión Comercio.
The match blew up in just the 5th minute when Unión goalie Juan Flores rushed off his goalline and landed a flying karate-kick into the head of Pacifico striker Andrés Mendoza.
The keeper was penalised as Pacifico won a penalty, however the goalie managed to amazingly escape a dismissal as he was only booked for his offence. And then came the real injustice.
Having committed his shocking assault, Juan Flores turned aside the spot-kick as Pacifico blew their golden opportunity to score.
Eventually the hosts did take the lead through Carlos Perez in the 41st minute, but Unión equalised sixty seconds

This patent describes the combination of absolute and differential pressure sensing devices including a plurality of absolute pressure transducers, each transducer including a plurality of half bridge piezoresistive structures and a device which selectively couples at least one of the half bridges to another half bridge.
In other prior art configurations, a single pressure sensing capsule is employed with the reference pressure ported to the rear side of the silicon sensing die. The main pressure is ported to the top side of the silicon sensing die. This design requires the use of a Wheatstone bridge on a single die.

The wheels carry the oil around to the outlet, where the teeth come together as they intermesh. This action squeezes the oil and raises its pressure as it is close to the outlet. The speed of pumping is directly linked to the speed of the engine. In any event, in such a pump, the pressure at the output as well as pressure at the input is normally monitored. The pressures are monitored by a pressure transducer. However, these pressure transducers can be subjected to pump ripple or a sinusoidally varying pressure fluctuation.

Featured Stories
Second half goals by Neymar and Jordi Alba helped FC Barcelona to register a 2-1 victory over an aggressive Almería side but coach Luis Enrique said that the Blaugrana were lucky to claim all three points against the Andalusians.
Almeria played with tight man-to-man defense against FC Barcelona and their tactics paid off in the first half as Thievy scored a goal in the 36th minute of the game. But Neymar came to the rescue of FC Barcelona in the second half when he scored an equalizer in the 71st minute while Jordi Alba secured a late winner in the 81st minute.

The growth of China's massive population has slowed in recent years, but migration to urban areas has increased, with almost half of China's 1.3 billion people living in or near cities. A booming economy, government housing initiatives, infrastructure programs, and private real estate speculation have all driven construction to record levels. New apartment, office, and government buildings regularly rise up over older neighborhoods, and thousands have relocated to modern housing complexes. The blend of old and new Chinese architecture is ever-present in cities and villages, as older buildings are torn down and newer ones built at ever faster rates. The images below show glimpses of Chinese architecture, both traditional and modern, as it appears today.Send this page to someone via email

some foreign policy think tanks. This thinking can be correctly identified as a direct manifestation of the twenty first century credo of American Exceptionalism.
Away from home and in the theater of battle, the Trans-Arabian pipeline is a factor as well, with very big money tied to it. The Sydney Morning Herald on August 27, published this leaked story of a direct meeting between Saudi Prince Bandar and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Saudi's, who have been trying very hard to topple Assad, had offered the Russians a deal that would guarantee a de facto contract alliance with Russia and OPEC in return for backing off support to the Assad regime. The deal would set oil at a per barrel price-minimum with the ability to systematically raise prices inseen, but its exclusion of China and some of its waivers, which in some cases directly contravene national sovereignty, seem to be a huge setback for democracy, transparency and true, free markets. The Obama Administration has been redirecting naval assets to the pacific region for the last two years using a public relations strategy underpinned by the notion that Chinese naval modernization requires a countervailing force in the region despite the fact that China has not invaded or attacked another country in modern times, save its short border war with Vietnam in 1979. The parallel development of the TPP and US Naval deployments in the Pacific can be seen rationally as an ominous sign.
If we invest in our own people-based assets, we can innovate and creatively transform markets.

Something was passing with the Rooks. They were up and abroad early. As the dogs and I made our first pass of the trees, they returned above us making enough noise to scare away the spirits of the dwindling dark and with them the fears of the long winter night. The world was theirs again. The tawny owls were silent; the jackdaws nowhere to be seen.
The rooks were still at it when we passed by on our way home. I paused and watched them in the throes of what could have been the corvine equivalent of our Boxing Day hunts - all excitement and chatter as they rode the canopy, breaking the surrounding silence. I put aside the automatic enquiry of what was happening and why andindifferent friends the rooks, but there are sometimes few other species to keep them company, save for an occasional jolly of wagtails. It is always with great pleasure therefore that a walk takes me through the trees at Bishopstone with its abundance of ash, elm and sycamore alive from canopy to ground with avian chatter.
I set out a few weekends ago beneath a dark, clear, moonless sky to enjoy the late-November dawn. A gentle climb from South Heighton up to and along the crest of the Firle plain to Bo-peep, along the gentle sweep of the Cradle Hill escarpment, where the first pale light seeped out of the eastern horizon and, before heading home, a final plunge back down into Bishopstone and its wet meadows and trees.

this time the day had beaten the darkness away, the stillness in the air stirred by the dawn breeze from the east, and the robins and blackbirds had had their say, leaving the soundscape to later risers. Rooks and jackdaws could be heard from a distance in the treetops, their indiscretions a banner to all within earshot that this land belongs to them, the trees of Bishopstone Wood their palisade wall.
I skirted up and around the rookery so that I could climb and look down on the leafless canopy, swept clean the week before by the first winter storm of the season. Leaving the wet meadows behind me, I climbed alongside a scrub fringe towards what sounded like a disagreement involving jays and magpies. Jays established themselves here- a similar
ritual in which a cacophony was made to scare off evil spirits from
apple trees before they were blessed at the end of Christmastide. A rough music ritual may have been popular with those dishing out the punishment, but it was less so for the person at the receiving end; a wife- husband- or child-beater. A noisy procession would be led after dark through the village to the wrongdoer's house, clashing metal tins or sheets and chanting along the way. The procession would stop outside the culprit's house and a chant was made warning them to mend their ways. Sometimes an effigy would be carried and burnt outside the house. The ritual would be repeated over several nights if required until the person relented. Sometimes they packed

On or about November 22, 1985, plaintiff was nonselected for a position of Aircraft Mechanic, WG-8852-08 with potential for WG-8852-10, which was awarded to John E. Dornon. Plaintiff was notified of his nonselection for this position by letter dated December 3, 1985. On or about November 20, 1985, John R. Widmayer was selected for the position of Aircraft Engine Mechanic, WG-8602-8. On or about December 9, 1985, Jerry D. Weller was appointed to fill the position of Aircraft Engine Mechanic which had originally been listed as a WG-8602-10 position, but was later reduced to a WG-8602-8 position with potential to WG-8602-10. Plaintiff'sapplication was not referred to the selecting officer for these two positions until after the other applicants had been selected, but he considered plaintiff's application anyway, and plaintiff received a nonselection letter dated December 3, 1985 in regard to the WG-8602-8/10 position. On or about June 12, 1986, plaintiff was nonselected for the positions of Aircraft Mechanic, WG-8852-8 with potential to WG-8852-10, awarded to Kevin Canfield, and Aircraft Mechanic, WG-8852-10, awarded to Curtis I. Hall. Plaintiff was notified of his nonselection for these positions by letters dated August 14, 1986.

Force decision dated July 27, 1988 was delivered to plaintiff on July 29, 1988. This notice also advised plaintiff of his right to appeal to the EEOC within twenty days, or to file a civil action within thirty days. On July 11, 1988, plaintiff spoke with Ms. Grey in Mr. Harrell's office and informed her that he had retained counsel and was taking his case to court rather than proceeding further with the administrative process.
A few months later, on September 13, 1988 according to the administrative record, plaintiff contacted Mr. Harrell by telephone and asked how his case was proceeding. Mr. Harrell informed him that the case file was closed, at which time plaintiff made statements threatening to shoot Colonel Isaacs. Plaintiff testified that he delayed filing anotice of appeal because when he contacted Mr. Harrell about filing an appeal, Mr. Harrell said he would send forms for plaintiff to sign, and he thought that Mr. Harrell was going to assist him with the appeal. Mr. Harrell testified that he never told plaintiff he would help him with his appeal, and that he had no contact with plaintiff between the July 27, 1988 final agency decision and plaintiff's phone call a few months later. The court finds Mr. Harrell's testimony on this matter to be credible and accepts his version of the facts.
Plaintiff filed an appeal with the EEOC Office of Review and Appeals on September 19, 1988. On December 19, 1988, the appeal was dismissed as untimely. Plaintiff received this decision on December 22,

least six of the challenged acts on or before August 14, 1986. It is further apparent that by the time plaintiff filed his informal complaint on October 14, 1986, he felt he was the victim of age discrimination. By October, 1986 at the latest, plaintiff was aware of a total of nine positions for which he was not selected. Plaintiff made no effort to file administrative charges specifically identifying these additional positions, nor did he advance any grounds for equitable tolling before the administrative agency.
Plaintiff also claims to be entitled to equitable tolling on the basis that he was misled by Mr. Harrell concerning the filing requirements for an informal complaint and for an appeal. The court has found that Mr. Harrell's testimony on these issues was credible,to claims for which administrative remedies were not exhausted.
In this case, the most recent act of alleged discrimination was brought to plaintiff's attention in August of 1986. Plaintiff's administrative complaint did not specify any particular incident of discrimination, but simply made general allegations of failure to hire him for the position of aircraft mechanic based upon his age. The informal complaint was filed with Rickenbacker's EEO counselor, and the formal complaint was filed with the Air Force Civilian Appellate Review Agency. The investigator referred to five specific positions which were filled during the relevant time period, and two of those positions were accepted for investigation. Plaintiff's appeal from the final agency decision was filed with the EEOC office of Review and *403 Appeals on September 19, 1988. The

plaintiff filed no additional attachments, such as those contained in Plaintiff's Exhibit 10 or training certificates, with his Rickenbacker application.
4. Between August, 1985 and August, 1986, plaintiff's application was considered in connection with five aircraft mechanic positions and up to two aircraft engine mechanic positions. One additional aircraft engine mechanic position was filled for which plaintiff was not referred for consideration. Plaintiff was not chosen for any of these eight positions, and persons under the age of forty were selected for these positions.
5. On or about August 22, 1986, plaintiff wrote a letter to Congressman John Kasich, complaining about his nonselection. The letter made no reference to age discrimination. Plaintiff claimed that the jobs at Rickenbacker were being awarded to family and friends.
*405 6. On October 14, 1986,plaintiff had his initial interview with the EEO counselor, William Harrell. On that date, he filed an informal complaint alleging age discrimination. Plaintiff claims that he was told by Mr. Harrell that once he filed a complaint, he would not be hired for a position while the complaint was pending. Mr. Harrell denied making this statement, noting that such a policy would constitute illegal reprisal. The court notes that plaintiff has included no claim for reprisal or for alleged acts of discrimination occurring after August, 1986 in his complaint. In any event, the court finds that Mr. Harrell did not make such a statement.
7. Plaintiff's claims in regard to two positions were accepted for investigation by the Air Force Civilian Appellate Review Agency. The investigator found in favor

may register with the Office of Personnel Management. An applicant's name is maintained in the certified pool for a period of one year, or until such time as the applicant is selected for a position, after which a new application must be filed to remain on the list. The Macon, Georgia list potentially offers a broader pool of applicants than might be available locally. The disadvantage to an applicant selected from the certified list is that a one year period of probation is required. Plaintiff had previously submitted an application to Macon, Georgia in 1981, but plaintiff was not registered on the certified list in 1985 and 1986.
10. The selecting official at Rickenbacker has the discretion to request a list of applicants from the applicant supply file, theand Mr. Moyer felt he could not hire an applicant rated as an apprentice who would tie up the services of another employee.
12. According to Mr. Locke's Form 171, he had been employed at Wright Patterson Air Force Base since July of 1982 as Aircraft Mechanic, WG-8852-10. He had completed several training courses, and was awarded the Air Force Good Conduct Medal in April, 1981. He was licensed as an F.A.A. certified airframe and powerplant mechanic. He explained in detail his experience working on F-4C aircraft, which entailed inspection procedures similar to those involved in the position under consideration. Mr. Locke's Form 171 also described the tools and procedures he was familiar with. Mr. Moyer considered Locke's experience working on F-4C fighters and training other employees, his prior

Base, working on C-5A aircraft. After leaving Travis, he worked for six months at Rickenbacker inspecting C-123 type aircraft. From February, 1982 to May, 1985 he was employed at Travis as an aircraft mechanic. His application does not specify which type of aircraft he worked on during that period. Plaintiff lists four training courses related to aircraft maintenance, but does not specify the duration of the courses or when he took them. None of the courses are engine schools. The descriptions of his job duties are not detailed. Some of his previous experience dates back to fifteen to twenty years prior to his application at Ricken-backer.
15. Mr. Moyer did not feel that plaintiff was as qualified as Locke and Iles. Many of his prior jobs did not involveaircraft. Plaintiff was only rated as a WG-8852-8 with potential to WG-8852-10, not as a WG-8852-10. Mr. Moyer did not contact plaintiff's supervisors because he did not feel that plaintiff was as qualified as the other applicants. Plaintiff's age was not a factor in his decision not to select plaintiff.
16. On October 7, 1985, Andrew W. Van Ert was selected to fill an Aircraft Engine Mechanic WG-8602-10 position by Sergeant Ervin Roush, a propulsion superintendent. Plaintiff was not among the applicants referred to him. It is likely that Sergeant Roush was working from a certified list, since the lack of a local address and the appointment with a probationary period indicate that Mr. Van Ert was selected from a certified list. Plaintiff was not on the certified list.

Mr. Van Ert's Form 171 reveals that he worked from March, 1982 to October, 1985 as a jet aircraft engine mechanic at Travis Air Force Base. The job descriptions provided are very detailed. He completed several training courses, including a 316-hour course for jet engine mechanics in 1982 and two jet engine technician courses and a C-141 Engine Run Course in 1985. He listed four engines with which he was experienced.
17. Sergeant Roush compared plaintiff's application with that of Mr. Van Ert at trial, and concluded that even if plaintiff's application had been referred to him, he would have found Mr. Van Ert to be more qualified. He noted that Van Ert's application was detailed and included engine schools, whereas all of plaintiff's schools were aircraft schools. SergeantRoush was fifty-two years old when he selected Mr. Van Ert. He had hired several people over forty. He indicated he was hesitant about selecting Mr. Van Ert because he was so young, but that his prior experience was sufficient to overcome these doubts.
18. On November 20, 1985, the position of Aircraft Engine Mechanic, WG-8602-8 was awarded to John R. Widmayer by Sergeant Charles Brown, a aircraft engine *407 stock foreman. At approximately the same time, Sergeant Brown also selected Jerry D. Weller to fill the position of Aircraft Engine Mechanic, WG-8602-8/10, which had been downgraded from a WG-8602-10 position in order to obtain qualified applicants. Widmayer and Weller were selected from a certified list from Macon, Georgia.
19. After Sergeant Brown had selected these candidates, plaintiff's application was

selected Widmayer and Weller. Age was not a factor in his decision.
23. On November 22, 1985, plaintiff was nonselected for a position of Aircraft Mechanic, WG-8852-8/10, which was awarded to John E. Dornon. On June 12, 1986, plaintiff was nonselected for the position of Aircraft Mechanic, WG-8852-8/10 which was awarded to Kevin Canfield, and for the position of Aircraft Mechanic, WG-8852-10, which was given to Curtis I. Hall. These three positions were filled by Jack Yeager, an aircraft overhaul foreman. Mr. Yeager was forty-five years old in 1986.
24. Mr. Yeager worked with C-130A cargo aircraft, and looked for applicants with previous experience working with these aircraft. Training was required in order to become qualified to work on that type of aircraft.
25. Mr. Dornon's Form 171 includes attachments describinghis job experience, including tools with which he is familiar. His employment at the time of the application was with Rockwell International working on the B-1B aircraft, which required reading and applying blueprints. Mr. Yeager thought that Mr. Dornon's application was thorough and well-assembled. He noted that Mr. Dornon had prior experience working on the C-130A aircraft, and was currently working at Rickenbacker in the reserves. Mr. Dornon had experience performing aircraft inspections. He had taken several aircraft maintenance specialist courses, was an honor graduate from one of those courses, and received several citations from the Air Force.
26. Mr. Yeager selected Mr. Hall because he had worked at Rickenbacker since March, 1985 and had four years prior experience with the C-130 aircraft. His Form 171 revealed that he
|

had taken four courses in aircraft maintenance, including three courses relating to the C-130 aircraft. He also had special training as a crash team member. Mr. Hall was an honor graduate who had received a meritorious service award. His description of his job duties and experience with tools was detailed.
*408 27. Mr. Yeager concluded that Mr. Canfield was more qualified for the job due to his previous experience with C-130 aircraft, including four years in the military plus one year in the reserves. He had taken maintenance courses, including training in the C-130. Mr. Yeager contacted Mr. Canfield's supervisor to inquire about his performance. Mr. Yeager also found Mr. Canfield's application to be detailed and specific as to his prior accomplishments, and the experience described was of thetype required in the position being filled by Mr. Yeager.
28. Mr. Yeager concluded that plaintiff was less qualified than the other applicants for these three positions. He felt that plaintiff's application was vague and not as detailed. Mr. Yeager could not tell from Part A of the application which type of aircraft plaintiff had worked on. He also noted that plaintiff's application revealed no experience with the C-130 aircraft. Plaintiff had prior experience working with the C-123 aircraft, but those aircraft were no longer in general service. If plaintiff had been hired for these positions, he would have required training, whereas the persons selected already had prior experience and training with the C-130 aircraft. Mr. Yeager attempted to contact plaintiff's supervisors, but was unable to reach them. He

Most oil and gas wells are drilled by a drill string made up of drill pipe. At various depths and at the total depth, the operator will remove the drill pipe, then run in a string of casing. The casing lines the well bore and is cemented in place. In another technique, casing is employed as the drill string and when reaching a desired depth, it is cemented in place.
When running casing into a well either for casing the well or for casing drilling the well, normally a powered spider is employed at the drill rig floor. The powered spider is a device that encircles the hole in the rig floor. It has segments or slips that will slide down to a gripping position gripping the casing stringthe casing to support the casing. The grippers may engage either the inner diameter or the outer diameter of the casing. Typically the casing gripper is actionable by fluid power, such as hydraulic fluid, to move the grippers to their released position.
In another technique, rather than a casing gripper mounted to a top drive, the operator will employ a casing elevator, which is suspended by the blocks or a top drive in the derrick. The casing elevator is capable of gripping a string of casing and supporting the weight. The casing elevator is typically moved from the gripping position to the released position by fluid power.
After the operator makes up the new joint of casing with the casing string suspended by the spider, he will lift the entire

Nintendo and EA shunned Need For Speed: Most Wanted, claims dev
The Rumor: Nintendo and EA never gave a shit about Need for Speed: Most Wanted on Wii U, according to co-founder of Criterion, now boss and co-founder of indie studio Three Fields Entertainment, Alex Ward. We worked our arses off. Neither Nintendo or EA gave a shit about it. A group of us did try. Bitch and moan at the publishers, not the developers, he said when Twitter folk accused him of neglecting the Nintendo console.
Our Take: Big companies certainly allocate their marketing budgets selectively, and some gamesreality video streams, enabling a powerful viewing experience. This will enable devotees to recreate the experience of actually being physically present at the event, said one of the persons aware of the matter.

It is this distinct lack of internal dialogue that is causing the West Indies to suffer drastically.
From this, it is apparent that they do not have the success of the West Indies Team as their priority, and it is time they readdress their focus away from wages to restoring their national pride. While the locals are insistent the players are acting justifiably, the path back to harmony for the West Indies is a two-way process. In fact, it was the strike by Bravo that led to the Cricket Board suffering huge debts from the BCCI.

US House Republican leader Robert H. Michel of nearby Peoria is correct when he says the folks back home won't stand for the social security cuts and tax increases envisioned in the GOP-Senate budget proposal endorsed by President Reagan.
From conversations here with members of the Illinois Legislature and political observers, this fall's election climate - certainly in Illinois and possibly throughout the United States - looks like this:
* The conservative wind still blows very hard - a widespread view that big government in Washington, here in Springfield, and wherever it may occur, must be reduced and that government spending must be resisted. It fuels the drive for lower taxes - and against raising taxes.

stewardship, is up against Democrat Adlai E. Stevenson III. Mr. Stevenson is a two-term US senator who declined to run in 1980 for a third term. His name in these parts helps make him part of a legend. His father Adlai E. Stevenson served as governor of Illinois, Ambassador to the United Nations, and twice ran unsuccessfully for President.
Governor Thompson, in a Monitor interview, stressed his view that he had ''managed well,'' that he's kept his eyes on spending, and that he hasn't raised taxes. He says he's running again because ''I want to be around'' when, as he sees it, the state as a result of his management takes a big leap forward economically when the current recession fades.
Mr. Stevenson sounds much the same theme: of carefulmanagement of the public's money and of an approach that will lift an economy that he says has been particularly bogged down in Illinois because of alleged Thompson mismanagement.
Stevenson deplores the Thompson aid cuts for education and says he will restore them. But he doesn't talk about more taxes. He simply says he's going to do more for more people with present resources. Thompson may sound more conservative than Stevenson, but not much. Both are quite aware of the conflicting winds, and both are bowing to a degree in both directions.
Reapportionment is the new ingredient in both state legislative and national congressional races this year. In Illinois the Democrats have gained the most in redrawing congressional and state legislative districts.

right back in the high school/early college days. In those days, I was obsessed with obscure music. In high school it was the ska music out of my native Orange County that was bumping out of the headphones on my bright yellow Walkman, and in college it gradually shifted to whiny emo music blasting from the earbuds on my iPod Nano.
Those were the days.
Back then, I would completely jump off the bandwagon of a band I liked simply because they decided to sign a big record deal, or decided to start pushing their music to the radio. I labeled them as sell outs, and moved on to the next big thing that no one had ever heard of.
This Laguinitas deal brought me right back to that same feeling,these two factions were in conflict, and they loved not one another.
And the Youth Faction called out unto the Grey Faction saying: So how goeth it with the Vista Development Club, you grandfathers of Kahn? Hast thy niece upgraded thy lapdog from Windoze XP yet?
And the Grey Faction replied, saying: Pshaw. Mock not our objects! Respect you the name of Kahn!
And the Youth Faction replied unto them: So we do too remember who Kahn was, he was the baddie in an early Trek movie possibly in black-and-white.

other, so pilots learn to refine their BFM skills to make use of the opponent's weaknesses. Using BFM as the building blocks for multiple aircraft maneuvers, such as the finger four, loose deuce, and Thach weave, pilots learn how to maneuver in situations involving one against one, one against two, two against two, two against many, or even one against many. This type of training, introduced during the last stages of flight school, is more like actual combat, and is the most beneficial for aircrew once basic BFM skills are mastered.
Principles
Specific energy
Energy is a primary factor in controlling and maneuvering an aircraft. If an attacker has too much energy, it may be easy to get in range but difficult to prevent an overshoot. Too little energy and theup a high-side guns pass against a lower but fast moving opponent that is traveling in the opposite direction. Also, the split-s is sometimes used as a disengagement tactic.
Pitchback
A pitchback, also called a Chandelle, is an Immelmann that is executed in some plane other than the vertical. Basically just a pitch turn, the fighter will be at some angle of bank before performing the half loop and roll. Unlike the Immelmann, a pitchback depletes less kinetic energy and is harder for an adversary to track.
Wingover
A wingover is a maneuver used to provide a fast, 180 degree turn with a very small turn radius. It consists of a quarter loop into a vertical climb, letting the speed fall as altitude increases, and then a flat-turn over the top, diving

Trading volumes in China took a dip last week but remained above ¥50 million week-on-week throughout March.
The Dominican Republic also witnessed a soaring leap in trading volumes, with nearly DOP 800,000 traded last week.
Trading volumes in Venezuela also registered an all-time high on the decentralized marketplace, with over VEF 22.5 million recorded last week. Cheap electricity costs and a spiraling bolivar due to hyperinflation has seen an uptick in small-scale bitcoin mining operations in the country. This has, in turn, led to a crackdown by authorities against bitcoin miners, with several arrests made earlier this year.

any scavengers yet. Maybe it'd just recently been
bombed? Not likely, this town didn't look like it'd had many people in it
for a long time, and when he noticed the nest in the corner of the
basement, it looked like it had been occupied for a couple of months, at
least based on the piles of crap laying around the old stained mattress.
Shit, the filth that people will live in, he thought to himself. That's a
rat hole right there. Of course, maybe the occupant likes the rats. They
can be good eats if it's all the meat you've got.
Cautiously, he looked around for the nest's occupant. There didn't
appear to be much for him to scavenge from that pile of crap, but was
likely that some money was squirreled away under the mattress. There
usuallywas in a nest like this. You'd be amazed how many people think
stuffing your money under the mattress is a good hiding place. He'd just
started towards the nest to have a closer look when he heard a noise, the
crunch of feet on loose masonry. By the time he turned, he found himself
staring straight into the business end of an AK-47, not but ten feet away
from him.
This wasn't the first rifle barrel he'd had aimed at his head, and he
was going to make damned sure it wouldn't be the last, but this one was
different. It was held in the little shaking hands of a child. Johnson
just stood there, stunned for a moment. What threw him off his game was
how much the kid looked like his son. Abrahim would have

door and slammed down the gas the second she hit
the seat. Luckily the gunships and the rebel soldiers in the field hadn't
even noticed them yet, and they were able to squeal off to the road and
around the curve.
They didn't see the Warthogs come, but they heard them, that's for sure,
and felt the explosions of their bombs. The fireballs in the evening sky
gave evidence that the school, and Sam's nest, had been obliterated, along
with everything else in the vicinity. The battle raged on nonetheless,
there must have been a fuck of a lot of rebels in those woods. That
explains why the copper in the school basement hadn't been scavenged yet,
if this place was a rebel stronghold. I gotta do my research a little
better, Johnson thought to himself. He'd just causallywaltzed into a war
zone, without even realizing it.
Still, the thought of all the copper still down there made his wallet
seem extra light. It shoulda been his...
The rest of his memories of that night started to take on a dreamlike
feel as he lay there in the early morning dawn with Sammie snuggled up
against him. He closed his eyes, and his mind wondered.
There were the blackshirts at the checkpoint as they fled town, but when
he tried to explain to them that the boy pretending to be asleep in the
passenger seat was his son, in his dream he called him Abrahim, not Sam.
And it was Abrahim, alive, safe and sound, sitting there in the passenger
seat. He was so happy to have his son with him again!
But then it wasn't Abrahim after

her legs...
Just as the head of his aching cock made contact with the warmth of her
sex, Johnson suddenly opened his eyes, blinking. The morning sun was
brighter now, filling the cab with a warm glow. Damn. He was sorely
disappointed. He had wanted to fuck her so badly...
Still blinking, he gradually became more aware of his surroundings. Sam
was still snuggled up tight against him. Her lips were actually pressed
against his neck, a warm and moist and steady breath just below his ear.
His shirt that she was wearing was pulled up, like in his dream, but even
higher, high enough that her bottom was...
That's when he realized his hand was on the girl's soft bare ass. Just
sitting there, unassuming, just like it was Mari's ass, and he was her
husband again, and hewas touching her like she always loved. In fact, it
was a hell of a lot like Mari's ass: olive-brown, round and full, and oh so
fucking soft...
Mortified, he lifted the hand away. This caused the girl to stir, and
she rolled over, onto her back. In her sleep, she cocked one knee to the
side, spreading her legs open.
In the sunlight, with the shirt still pulled up to her waist, he could
see every detail of her naked sex. The rise of her pubic mound, the pink
swell of her lips, the hint of newly-forming curls. He tried not to look,
he didn't want to look, but how could he help it? How could he _not_ look?
He lay there for a while in the warm sunlight, waiting for her to
awaken. But she did not.

It was a smell he recognized from more than a year of scavenging around in
homes just like this one. It was the smell of death.
At his suggestion, Sam stayed downstairs to look for any food that might
be salvageable. She seemed to understand why he didn't want her coming
upstairs; perhaps she recognized the smell as well. On the second floor,
in the bedroom at the top of the stairs, he found what he'd been expecting.
A woman lay on the bed, dressed in her finest evening gown. She looked
remarkably serene for a woman who'd had her head blown off by a shotgun
blast. The bedspread around the remains of her scull was soaked to a dark
unsettlingbrown from long-ago dried blood. In the chair next to the bed
sat a man, the barrel of a shotgun still lodged in his mouth, the back of
his head splattered against the wall behind. Both had been dead for
months. They were only skeletons, gray bones, and hair. Lots of hair.
It was a common sight in houses like this. Lots of people these days
decided it was better to risk what might lay beyond the Great Unknown, than
to stay in living hell on Earth.
As he had suspected was the case, he soon found that he was not the
first scavenger on the scene. The room had been picked clean of whatever
valuables that there might have been. But, at least, the shotgun was
something, and if there were more shells for it somewhere, it

much loved duo French and Saunders, Dawn helped create a repetoire of brilliantly observed characters, parodying popular culture and impersonating everything from Madonna and Harry Potter to The Exorcist.
Dawn's more recent role in the Vicar of Dibley showcased not only her talent but also her ability to take a controversial and topical issue and make it mainstream - and very funny. From her early years as an RAF child and her flat-sharing antics with Jennifer Saunders, to her outspoken views on sizism and her marriage to Lenny Henry, Dear Fatty will chronicle the extraordinary, hilarious rise of a complex, dynamic and unstoppable woman.Our algorithms don’t have feelings. They’ve never lost a fantasy football championship by a fraction of a point, and they don’t listen to the narratives surrounding players entering a football season.
They aren’t biased. They have no allegiance towards a team. They don’t know which players came into camp overweight. They care about facts. They care about production. They worry about what has happened and what is real.
And our algorithms like DeMarco Murray.
Unlike many fantasy owners, our algorithms don’t see Murray as a dark alley in a bad neighborhood. The 18th running back off most draft boards, Murray is slotted as the 13th-best one in the numberFire rankings. Why? Well, because numbers talk. Narratives don’t.

attempt basis. Keep in mind that DeMarco Murray, under similar circumstances, rushed for a .12 NEP per attempt value that year. That’s one of the biggest jumps you’ll find at the running back position.
Last year, however, Jones finished with the exact same per attempt NEP value as Murray. They both were fairly miserable, losing .05 points for their team each time they carried the football.
In essence, Murray’s efficiency is a classic Jekyll and Hyde situation. He was phenomenal during his rookie year, but on a Felix Jones level during his sophomore one. There’s reason, however, to be optimistic about Murray from a fantasy perspective this year.
Volume Matters
The low NEP numbers from the Cowboys runners in 2012 had a lot to do with poor offensive line play. And that’sstill a concern entering 2013. However, the circumstances in Dallas is a perfect example of why volume matters in fantasy football.
Though both runners were poor carrying the football effectively in 2012, they both were also consistent. In a good way, too. In DeMarco Murray’s 10 games, he never scored fewer than seven fantasy points, and captured double-digit totals in half of them. When Felix Jones was getting the bulk of the touches, he scored similarly.
Moreover, both backs contributed heavily in the receiving game, something that should continue with a pressured Tony Romo. Murray’s had a nice 2.6 receptions per game average over the first two years of his career. PPR league members take note.
The Cowboys couldn’t run the ball to save their lives last season, which is clearly

This can pose challenges, especially during removal of the mold from the green state barriers and during firing of the green state barrier ribs.
Mold removal can damage barriers due to difficulty in mold release. Because barrier ribs tend to shrink during firing, the green state barrier ribs are generally taller than the size desired for the fused barriers. Taller structures can make demolding even more difficult. Mold removal can also damage the mold. When material cannot be completely removed from the mold, the mold is typically discarded. In addition, at temperatures required for firing, the barrier ribs can fracture, delaminate from the substrate, or warp. The substrate also goes through dimensional changes during firing due to thermal expansion and release

the folly of women who marry for money111 or think that the pleasures of society are preferable to the duties of the household. As Steele took the responsibility of seeing that copy was forthcoming day by day, a few of his papers are still written with that hurried diffuseness which has lost The Tatler many readers. In his best work, he conforms to the studied simplicity and artistic concentration which Addison had developed in The Tatler and was continuing to cultivate with great success.
But, if The Spectator surpassed its predecessor in style, it achieved an even greater advance in thought. The moralists of the seventeenth century had drawn their wisdom from books, Bickerstaff had drawn his from experience; while Addison showed how to draw from both sources. ItHis exquisite portrait of the valetudinarian who took his meals in a weighing chair is really inspired by Martials contempt for those who are more anxious to live than to live rightly.120 The sense of solemnity which comes over Mr. Spectator in Westminster abbey descends on him from Lucretius,121 and Seneca would have approved of the diary of an idle man and of that of a woman of fashion.122
Steele, as usual, followed his masters lead and introduced copious quotations and allusions into his more serious papers. But, at best, he was an indifferent scholar, and, except in the Pharamond papers,123 he never approached Addisons tact and felicity. Much as he admired Mr. Spectators cultured and contemplative mind, his own experience was leading him to work out a philosophy

of life on different lines. As, in The Tatler, he had taken refuge in sentimentality, so now, in The Spectator, he still fought against his own inborn unconventionality by advocating a regularity of conduct which he could not practise. The puritans had always disliked what was unusual or self-willed, and Steele brought Cicero and the Stoics to their help, showing how the recklessness of the spendthrift, the capriciousness of the man who varies his greetings according to his mood, or even the impertinence of fops who affect hurry or indolence, are really offences against decency and decorum.124 Such observances, which had formerly been the creed of the middle class, began to have a universal binding force, now that they were backed by the authority of culture. It issignificant that some of his leading ideas on education,125 on the evils of vanity in dress and on the reading of romances,126 had already been fully put forward by Ascham in The Scholemaster. This strengthening of public opinion was undoubtedly important in a half-formed society, but it was soon to grow into the narrow British insistence on respectability, bitterly satirised by Victorian writers. Even at this early stage, the appearance of a girl riding in mans clothes, after the French fashion, suggests to Steele the reflection that eccentricity of dress is nothing less than an offence against virtue.127 Sometimes, Steele breaks away from the social formulae which he helped to codify and gives free play to his gift of seeing things in a natural, almost a primitive, light.

Returning to one of the favourite themes of The Tatler, he has independence enough to show how there existed among traders a whole world of romance and destiny undreamt of by the politer classes.128 His sympathies led him deeper into human nature. As the amusements of polite society became more costly and artificial, a new class of lackeys had grown up beneath the glittering surface, very different from the servingmen of the Elizabethan drama. Steele was one of the first to discover not only the humour but the pathos of their lives. First, we have a glimpse of high life below stairs, in which the frivolities of the rich are absurdly aped by their servants; and, then, the tragedy of the attendants life, who earns his daily breadas the silent confederate of his masters viciousness and the victim of his caprice.129 Steele, again, was one of the first to champion women of the lower class. Since the Middle Ages, female character had been one of the favourite butts of popular satire, and, all through the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, savage invective against prostitution had been common. To Steele, all women are distressed heroines. He shows how shopgirls and barmaids, so far from being naturally bad, are often, by the nature of their employment, forced to submit to the loose talk and familiarity of men; and, when he comes to describe the most abandoned, instead of inveighing against harlotry, he reveals, for the first time, the white-slave traffic of his age, with all its fiendish stratagems

Defense and
space operations - conducted through Boeing Defense & Space Group -
involve research, development, production, modification and support of
military aircraft and helicopters and related systems, space and
missile systems, rocket engines, and information services, primarily
through U.S. Government contracts. Revenues, operating profits and
other financial data of the Company's industry segments for the three
years ended December 31, 1996, are set forth on pages 61 and 62 of the
Company's 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders and are incorporated
herein by reference.
With respect to the commercial aircraft segment, the Company is a
leading producer of commercial aircraft and offers a family of
commercial jetliners designed to meet a broad spectrum of passenger
and cargo requirements of domestic and foreign airlines. This family
of commercial jet aircraft currently includes the 737 and 757
standard-body models and the 767, 747 and 777intense
competition, including foreign companies which are nationally owned or
subsidized. To meet competition, the Company maintains a program
directed toward continually enhancing the performance and capability
of its products and has a family of commercial aircraft to meet varied
and changing airline requirements. Since the 1970s, the Company has
maintained approximately a 60% share of the available commercial jet
aircraft market.

The Company continually evaluates opportunities to improve current
models, and assesses the marketplace to ensure that its family of
commercial jet aircraft is well positioned to meet future requirements
of the airline industry. The fundamental strategy is to maintain a
broad product line responsive to changing market conditions by
maximizing commonality among the Boeing family of commercial aircraft.
Additionally, the Company is determined to continue to lead the
industry in customer satisfaction by offering products with the
highest standards of

The 737-800, a larger version, is
currently scheduled to be delivered in early 1998. Initial delivery of
the smallest version, the 737-600, is currently scheduled for late
1998.
In 1996 the Company launched a new version of the 757 twinjet. The
new 757-300, with approximately 20% more seating, will have about 10%
lower seat-mile operating costs than the -200, which already has the
lowest seat-mile operating cost in its market segment. First delivery
is scheduled for 1999.
In January 1997, the Company began offering for sale a new extended-
range version of the 767. The proposed 767-400ERX, which could enter
commercial service as early as the year 2000, will be capable of
carrying over 300 passengers in a two-class configuration.
The Company has been working with some of the world's largest
airlines to explore the development of aircraft capable of carrying
more thanwas with non-U.S.
customers. Sales outside the United States are influenced by U.S.
Government foreign policy, international relationships, and trade
policies by governments worldwide. Relative profitability is not
significantly different from that experienced in the domestic market.
Approximately 11% of accounts receivable and customer financing
combined consisted of amounts due from customers outside the United
States. Substantially all of these amounts are payable in U.S.
dollars, and, in management's opinion, related risks are adequately
covered by allowance for losses. The Company has not experienced
materially adverse financial consequences as a result of sales and
financing activities outside the United States.
The Company had approximately 143,000 employees at January 31,
1997, including approximately 1,600 in Canada and 1,500 in Australia.

work required under contracts to develop and install a new air defense
system for Saudi Arabia, known as the Peace Shield program. During the
second quarter of 1996, the Peace Shield program issues were settled,
and all terminations for default have been converted to terminations
for convenience. The settlement resulted in the release of all
Government claims, including any potential Government claim for excess
cost of reprocurement or other damages.
The Company is subject to federal and state requirements for
protection of the environment, including those for discharge of
hazardous materials and remediation of contaminated sites. Due in part
to their complexity and pervasiveness, such requirements have resulted
in the Company being involved with related legal proceedings, claims
and remediation obligations since the 1980s.

and most of the
remainder operate in Europe. Airlines have the option of modifying Stage 2
aircraft, replacing them, or selling or otherwise removing them from service
without replacement. The Company projects that about one-half of the U.S. Stage
2 aircraft will eventually be modified, and the remainder, primarily older
aircraft, will be replaced.
AIRLINE DEREGULATION
Worldwide, the airline industry has experienced progressive deregulation of
domestic markets and increasing liberalization of international markets. Twenty
years ago virtually all air travel took place within a framework of domestic and
international oversight. Since then, several countries, most notably the United
States, Australia and the countries in Western Europe, have eliminated
restrictive regulations for domestic airline markets and promoted a liberal
climate for international services. Currently, about one-half of all air travel
takes place within an open competitive environment. These trends are expected to
continue, butthe
available commercial jet aircraft market. This market share has been maintained
throughout the economic cycles of the commercial jet aircraft market, including
the difficult market environment in recent years that resulted in lower
production rates and excess production capacity for all jet aircraft
manufacturers. With regard to new orders, that market environment resulted in
intense pressures on pricing and other competitive factors that continue today.
The Company's focus on improving processes and other cost reduction efforts is
intended to enhance its ability to pursue pricing strategies that enable the
Company to maintain market share at satisfactory margins.
The Company's extensive customer support services network for airlines
throughout the world plays a key role in maintaining high customer satisfaction.
On-line access to engineering drawings and parts lists needed for aircraft
maintenance is already available to airline customers, and in 1996, service

over the next 20 years; however,
China is not currently a member of the WTO. The Company believes the accession
of China to the WTO and the granting of permanent Most-Favored-Nation trading
status by the U.S. Government would help ensure an open market and effective
trade policies. However, if government and trade relations between the United
States and China deteriorate significantly, the Company's ability to sell
commercial aircraft to airlines in China could be severely constrained.
Airlines of Russia and other states of the former Soviet Union operate a limited
number of western-built aircraft. Because of high customs duties, a shortage of
foreign exchange, legal and other financing constraints, the potential for new
aircraft orders has been severely limited. In January 1996, the U.S. Government
reached a trade agreement with the Russian Federation that provides for future
aircraft tariff reductions.be followed in 1998
by the 777-300 version with 20% greater passenger-carrying capability. As of
December 31, 1996, orders for 318 and options for 126 777s have been announced
by 24 customers.
Development of the 737-600/700/800 family of short-to-medium-range jetliners
began in 1993. These new 737s will provide greater range, increased speed, and
reduced noise and emissions while maintaining 737 family commonality. The 737-
700, the middle-sized member of the family, will be the first version to be
placed into service, with initial deliveries scheduled for late 1997 to
Southwest Airlines. The 737-800, a larger version, is currently scheduled to be
delivered in early 1998 to Hapag-Lloyd. Initial delivery of the smallest
version, the 737-600, is currently scheduled for late 1998 to SAS. As of
December 31, 1996, orders for 517 and options for 287 737-600/700/800s have

Also in 1996, the Company and General Electric formed a joint venture, Boeing
Business Jets, to respond to the market demand for a larger, more capable
business aircraft that can fly over 6,000 miles. The Boeing Business Jet will be
derived from the 737-700.
In January 1997, the Company began offering for sale a new extended-range

The Company hasdevelopment activities are principally oriented toward maintaining
and enhancing the competitiveness of the Boeing subsonic fleet, the Company is
also involved in studying the technological and economic issues associated with
development of commercial supersonic aircraft.
Opportunities for major new U.S. Government defense and space programs in the
near term are relatively limited; however, the Company is aggressively seeking
ways to capitalize on its existing broad program base and its competitive
strength with regard to military and space technology.
New business opportunities being pursued or studied include both military and
commercial applications. On the military side, the Company continues to assess
potential applications using the Company's commercial aircraft, particularly
the 767. In the commercial space arena, Boeing is leading the Sea Launch team
to offer highly automated commercial satellite launching from a seagoing
launch platform. First launch is currently scheduled for 1998.

is transferred into the load-lock chamber. Once the unprocessed wafer is correctly positioned, it is transferred out of the positioning device and delivered into the load-lock chamber.
The unprocessed wafer having been transferred into the load-lock chamber is transferred out of the load-lock chamber by the processing unit-side transfer mechanism, is delivered into a processing chamber where it undergoes the specific type of processing. Once the processing is completed in the processing chamber, the processed wafer is transferred out of the processing chamber by the processing unit-side transfer mechanism and is returned to the load-lock chamber. The processed wafer having been returned to the load-lock chamber is delivered back into the cassette container by the transfer unit-side transfer mechanism.
Even while the processing is in progress in the individual processingchambers, unprocessed wafers are constantly transferred out of the cassette container and are made to wait in standby in the common transfer chamber, the load-lock chamber, the positioning device and the like, since it is desirable to maintain a continuous flow of unprocessed wafers waiting in standby at closest possible positions to the processing chambers to assure the maximum processing throughput from the processing chambers in the substrate processing apparatus. Once the processing on a given wafer is completed in a processing chamber, the processed wafer is immediately taken back into the cassette container and the unprocessed wafers having been waiting in standby are sequentially delivered so as to transfer the unprocessed wafer next in line immediately into the processing chamber.

power supply interruption or an electrical leak occurs while the substrate processing apparatus is in operation, the operation is stopped in an emergency by, for instance, turning off the power to the substrate processing apparatus. Under such circumstances, the wafer processing underway within a processing chamber is halted, and the wafer is left inside the processing chamber. In addition, wafers in a wait state in various chambers such as the transfer unit, the common transfer chamber and the load-lock chamber, too, are also left where they are. If pressure control through, for instance, evacuation has been in progress in a given chamber, the pressure control stops as the operation of the substrate processing apparatus is stopped, which may lead to a reverse flow of dirt and dust fromthe discharge side and particles of the substances deposited during the wafer processing becoming suspended in the air.
In the related art, if the operation of the substrate processing apparatus stops due to such an abnormality, the abnormality must be corrected before an operator can remove the wafers left in the various chambers of the substrate processing apparatus and manually clean the inside of the chambers, such as the transfer unit, the processing chambers, the common transfer chamber and the load-lock chamber so as to restore the substrate processing apparatus to an operating state.
In the event of an emergency stop of the substrate processing apparatus, the recovery operation for the substrate processing apparatus must be executed manually by the operator as described above in the related art, which is

Crime and Punishment
by Fyodor Dostoevsky
He had come in ten minutes earlier and was sitting in the same place as before, on the sofa. Raskolnikov was sitting in the opposite corner, fully dressed and carefully washed and combed, as he had not been for some time past. The room was immediately crowded, yet Nastasya managed to follow the visitors in and stayed to listen.
Raskolnikov really was almost well, as compared with his condition the day before, but he was still pale, listless, and sombre. He looked like a wounded man or one who has undergone some terrible physical suffering. His brows were knitted, his lips compressed, his eyes feverish. He spoke little and reluctantly, as though performing a duty, and there was a restlessness in his movements.
He only wanteda sling on his arm or a bandage on his finger to complete the impression of a man with a painful abscess or a broken arm. The pale, sombre face lighted up for a moment when his mother and sister entered, but this only gave it a look of more intense suffering, in place of its listless dejection. The light soon died away, but the look of suffering remained, and Zossimov, watching and studying his patient with all the zest of a young doctor beginning to practise, noticed in him no joy at the arrival of his mother and sister, but a sort of bitter, hidden determination to bear another hour or two of inevitable torture. He saw later that almost every word of the following conversation seemed

Shortly thereafter, at the suggestion of Hoffman, Q-Co also employed Som, a close personal friend of Hoffman, to work on a hand control device to be a part of the computerized prompter and to assist Hoffman in the development of the program. No employment contracts, confidentiality agreements or agreements not to compete were entered into. Hoffman was an employee at will and Som a consultant.

After several days in Detroit, Berg and Hoffman travelled to Las Vegas, Nevada to begin rehearsals for the Ford show. Because the VPS-500 was still in the developmental stages, it had insufficient memory for the job and as such required the use of two Atari's being operated in tandem to provide sufficient memory. Berg concluded that he and Hoffman would require assistance in Las Vegas, and Som travelled to Las Vegas for that purpose. In Las Vegas there were again discussions in which Hoffman was involved about a computerized prompter for an IBM PC. In response to Berg, Som on several occasions stated it would be possible to develop an IBM PC computer prompter but

The family of the man fatally choked outside of a Denny's restaurant in east Harris County has filed a civil lawsuit against the people they say are responsible for his death.
Attorneys Troy Chandler Randall Kallinen said the family chose to file the lawsuit in an effort to seek financial support.
John Hernandez was the family's sole breadwinner, Kallinen said. With his death, family members are worried that they will not be able to provide for Hernandez's 3-year-old daughter, Alexa Hernandez.
JUDGE'S RULING: Ex-deputy, husband in Denny's case must take drug tests, no access to guns
Story continues below...
Hernandez died three days after an altercation withTerry Thompson and his wife, Chauna Thompson, a Harris County sheriff's deputy, at the Harris County restaurant on May 28.
According to the Harris County medical examiner, Hernandez died from strangulation. Both Thompson and his wife were charged with murder, following a sheriff's office investigation and a grand jury indictment.
The civil suit was filed Monday.

of simple battery while not committing the greater offense of aggravated battery. Numerous witnesses testified that the defendant had participated in the initial fight at the end of the pier, thereby supporting the conclusion that he was guilty of simple battery. At the same time, however, even friends of the victim testified *593 that some members of the defendant's party walked rather than ran off the pier. None of the three surviving members of the victim's party could identify the defendant in court. Finally, as the majority observes, one of the victim's friends placed the interval between the initial battery and the victim's subsequent jump into the water at close to fifteen minutes.
On the basis of this record, the jury might have concluded that some members of the10 February 2010
Threes Hour
I.
Right where it crosses Highway 87,
a man in a long coat
seemed to glide across River Drive North
stopping lines of traffic in my rearview mirror.
Tall and lean with a scruffy beard
and auburn hair peeking out from a hat,
he held a bow in one hand.
With his other hand
he plucked the string of his bow
while he strode up and onto the sidewalk.
Traffic continued and I considered the gentleman,
drove on home, and let him go.
II.
About an hour later,
on Smelter Avenue,
across from the Best Friends Animal Hospital,
I spied this odd little guy.
He wore green knee-length shorts
with suspenders over a heavy white shirt.
A green vest, and pointy green hat
topped off his ensemble.
A thick red beard spotted his chin.
At the NW Bypass intersection's red light,
I looked in the rearview mirror.
He was gone!

Formal advising begins with orientation in advance of registration and continues intensively throughout the training experience. The University of Michigan is an internationally recognized center for graduate education with the strength and breadth necessary to support truly multidisciplinary training. The Bioinformatics Program benefits from and in turn enhances numerous other training programs on campus through synergistic course offerings, seminars and mini-courses. The institution has a broad commitment to bioinformatics strengthened by the establishment in 2000 of a Program in Bioinformatics with degree granting authority at the masters and doctoral levels.

I only know of one fictional character from a popular game series without any porn.
Bobbery the Bob-omb ship captain from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.
Despite every other party member having multitudes of porn, there is a distinct lack of it's existence for Bobbery.
I have known that other people have noted this phenomenon, including nsfw artists within the Paper Mario: TTYD community, yet there is still none.
I guess it's because nobody wants porn of an elderly sphere widow, who may have contagious sea-faring diseases. Or diseases originating in the dingy slums of East Rogueport, from which he spent all of his life after his wife passed, until Mario came.
And then was stuck shipwrecked on an island, kidnapped by pirate ghosts, and almost died of starvation in thecould not participate in any of the death rites lest his sadness disturb the sensitive bees. Should he visit a cemetery, the beekeeper could not interact with his bees for at least three weeks or serious harm would come to them. No Mayan would ever have asked a beekeeper to help lay out the corpse of a departed family member or friend, for if a beekeeper touched a dead body, he had to wash his hands and arms several times a day for three weeks with the leaves of an orange tree. He had to perform these cleansing rituals thoroughly before daring to approach his hives. If a bee was accidentally killed, it had to be carefully folded in a leaf and solemnly buried.
Carrying out these rituals was

the control and direction of the National, for the benefit of itself and its reinsurers. The evidence as to the investigation of the claims, the institution of the action and the prosecution thereof, together with the communications ultimately resulting in settlement, satisfactorily establish that the National acted in good faith. It sought in every way to do as well as could reasonably be expected the work it had undertaken. It retained local counsel and handled a difficult litigation in a foreign jurisdiction with due regard for the *452 rights of the Massachusetts, as well as its other coinsurers.
It is argued that the second agreement of reinsurance was entered into by reason of misrepresentations on the part of the National. This relates to the bonding of the bank ofjustified the cancellation of the bond by either the National or the Massachusetts. The other errors referred to in the Massachusetts writ need not be considered; they present no error.
In the National's writ of error, we are asked to review the decision below in allowing the Massachusetts, as a set-off, one-sixteenth of the sum which was misappropriated by Coleman with the connivance of Allen. The National had executed a bond for Allen as state treasurer to the extent of $200,000, one-half of its liability being the subject of reinsurance. It also executed a bond for Coleman as deputy state treasurer to the extent of $25,000, as to which there was no reinsurance. As the court below found, the bonds executed by the National for Allen and Coleman, respectively,

Unger, father and son. After parking his car outside the 32nd Street gate he and the Ungers went to the guard-house by the gate. They registered, were given identification buttons and went on into the base to the crane's location. Later that morning another Lewis employee, Kinney by name, drove on the base in his automobile to which a trailer was attached. In the trailer were tools belonging to Lewis. Kinney with his automobile and trailer joined Lewis at the crane. About quarter of five that afternoon Lewis and his men finished working for the day and they all rode back to the gate in Kinney's car. The Lewis tools were in the attached trailer with the exception of some sortof an acetylene torch which was in the rear of the car. Lewis testified that there had been thefts from the base; in particular, 'some thousands of dollars worth of stuff' had been stolen from the base, and 'every car leaving the post between 4:30 and 5:30 were searched.'
4
The Lewis car was stopped at the gate by a Marine sentry because there was no property pass covering the tools. Lewis was advised that such a pass was necessary and Sergeant Daniels of the Marine guard escorted him to the civilian guard office in a building adjoining the gate in order that this might be attended to. There, according to Stewart, the civilian guard on duty, Lewis started swearing. 'God-damn it,' he said, 'I have

left rear glass and struck Lewis in the left shoulder as he was sitting in the driver's seat on the left side of the automobile. Lewis estimated that the distance from where he had last stopped which was where Foote was standing to where he was hit was about 170 feet. Foote guessed the distance as perhaps 150 feet. Asked about his orders with reference to restraining a person from getting away he said, 'My orders were to hold the car, and I couldn't hold it by myself. The only thing I could do, that is what weapons were there for, to use.'
7
Marine Captain McLeod, who was in charge of the Marine guards at the Bayonne Naval Supply Depot at the time of trial,same as what was contained in the report. The report said that the bullet had fractured the left shoulder. Lewis stated that he was in the hospital for two weeks or a few days over two weeks. The doctor's report said that the doctor discharged Lewis on November 29, 1948, with some permanent disability of the left shoulder.
9
The Trial Judge found as facts that Lewis did use profanity and was abusive on one or more occasions and did engage in one or more altercations with the Marine and civilian police personnel of the base and that as a result Private Foote was ordered by his superior to hold the Lewis car until permission to arrest Lewis was obtained. The events thereafter were found to

compelling support in the record, that the sentry Foote directed Lewis and Kinney to wait. In spite of Foote's warning Lewis instructed Kinney to drive on. Kinney refused, saying to Lewis that Foote had a gun. Lewis ordered Kinney out of the car and Kinney obeyed. Lewis moved into the driver's seat and started to drive away from the gate. Then, as found in finding #9, 'Private Foote ran alongside the car and again instructed the plaintiff Lewis to stop the car, but Lewis continued to drive away from the gate.' Foote shouted three times at Lewis to halt. Lewis continued on and Foote fired two warning shots in the air. Lewis did not stop and Foote fired twice atthe car's left rear tire which, according to the Court's finding of act, was approximately fifty yards away from him. One shot hit the left rear fender. The second also struck on the left side of the car going through the left side of the rear window. This would seem rather good marksmanship with a .45 caliber automatic pistol at 150 feet and a receding target. Even so and though Private Foote had no intention of hitting Lewis it can be assumed that in the circumstances he realized that firing at the machine's left rear tire while Lewis was in the left front seat could readily produce that result or at least that it was well within the possibilities of such act. And

while Foote had no wish to shoot Lewis his entire purpose in firing at the automobile was to cause apprehension of harm in Lewis so that he would stop his automobile. Lewis, from his own testimony, was on reasonable notice that if he insisted on driving away in violation of the sentry's order to him, he might be shot at. The Marine guard had been alongside of him. He denies that the guard told Kinney and himself not to leave but he does state that Kinney, who had been driving and who was still in the driver's seat, said to him, 'I won't drive away because the man has a gun.' It was at that time that Lewis ordered Kinney out of the latter'sdrive on in spite of the sentry's warning, but Kinney refused and Lewis ordered him to leave the car, which Kinney did, Lewis moving into the driver's seat and starting to drive away from the gate. Private Foote ran alongside the car and again instructed the plaintiff Lewis to stop the car, but Lewis continued to drive away from the gate.'
23
As we have already seen, there was evidence, an important part of it by Lewis himself, justifying this finding and we agree with the contingent conclusion of law namely, that if Foote's action in shooting at the automobile did not constitute assault and battery but was considered to be an act of negligence in law, Lewis was guilty of contributory negligence because of his failure to stop

when so ordered by the sentry.
24
Appellant, urging that his actions were merely conditions of the shooting not a part of the cause, argues that the shooting was not conceived by the sentry until he had driven away from the gate. That contention, if true, would be of no importance but even so it is not reasonably inferable from the evidence. The sentry, Foote, was under orders to hold the car. He knew he could not physically do so and from what he said, as above quoted, he was plainly prepared to use his pistol, if necessary, to stop it. Under general orders he had to use all means at his disposal to prevent Lewis from leaving the base. On his own story Lewiswas aware of the specific danger that the sentry would use his weapon to stop the car from being driven away for only a few moments previous his own employee, Kinney, had flatly refused to drive the car off the base because, as he said, the sentry had a gun. Despite the apparent situation it was at that very time that Lewis made Kinney leave the automobile, and operating the car himself started away from the base. His deliberate action obligated the sentry under his orders to stop him if possible. The sentry obtained no compliance as a result of his commands to halt nor from his warning shots. To obey his orders and stop the car he had one resource left. He

motion. Because we find no abuse of the trial court's discretion, we affirm.
On February 9, 1976, plaintiff filed a petition for damages against the City of New Orleans, the Criminal Sheriff of Orleans Parish, and Charity Hospital of Louisiana, alleging that defendants had aggravated her pre-existing diabetes and other health problems by failing to give her proper medical treatment after she was arrested and detained for attempted murder. Defendants were not served until February, 1981, however, when plaintiff's new counsel filed a supplemental and amending petition and obtained permission for her to litigate the action in forma pauperis.
After defendants answered and discovery took place, the case was set and reset for trial as follows:

Ravens are making the playoffs in the AFC North.
The New York Jets, the ugly step-sister in the eyes of New Yorkers infatuated with their other team are out of the playoffs, and they've benched their quarterback. Their cousin, so to speak, the New York Giants, don't forget, won the Super Bowl last year in dramatic fashion.
On the NFC side of the football divisions, the Green Bay Packers have clinched their division, the North, as has become habit for the publicly-owned team. The Packers are looking as strong as ever, but perhaps not as strong as the San Francisco 49ers, who have clinched a playoff berth at least in the NFC West, and are well thought-of in at least the ESPN Power Rankings. The 49ers and the Packers bothhave favorable schedules to end the season.
The Atlanta Falcons have ruled the NFC South's roost so far and sent a bruising message last week to at least the Giants as well as, perhaps, the rest of the NFC East. But that's where things get confusing.
The Washington Redskins, the Dallas Cowboys and those champs from last year, the New York Giants are all tied at the top of the NFC East with records of 8-6. The only place with this knotting up, then, is in the NFC East. And with only two weeks of regular season games left to play, the schedule makers have done all football fans a huge favor by making sure that, even if next week is relatively calm, when Washington plays at Philly, New Orleans

progress by now. Bettman's palpable anger at the afore-mentioned press conference, where high school style sniping was reported on with trepidation, is merely the latest salvo in a war that's been waged since he took over as commissioner of the league. It's also a sharp reminder that the NHL is the only major sports league in America to ever lose an entire season - merely seven years ago, the entirety of the 2004-2005 season was lost to labor disputes. With rumors circulating on Monday morning that official confirmation could be expected as early as Monday afternoon that more games had been canceled, the NHL is teetering on the brink of, once again, furthering its own irrelevance and setting back most, if not all, of the gains that haveare plenty of fun comics written that way, but it's my opinion that longterm arcs don't work well that way.
Book of the week goes to Minutemen. Nothing can compete with something that's going to be recorded as a classic. We're getting to see something unfold right in front of our eyes that future generations are going to talk about in reverential tones. Put aside the Moore-loyalty and appreciate it for the great tale that it is.
