and had just a scratch from his fall, he told CNN. Right after the blasts, police officers could be seen carrying bloody spectators to medical tents intended for exhausted runners in desperate attempts to save lives. 'They just started bringing people in with no limbs,' said runner Tim Davey of Richmond, Va. He said he and his wife, Lisa, tried to shield their children's eyes from the gruesome scene inside a medical tent that had been set up to care for fatigued runners, but 'they saw a lot.'

The Boston Marathon has been held on Patriot's Day, the third Monday of April, since 1897. The event, which starts in Hopkinton, Massachusetts and ends in Boston's Copley Square, attracts an estimated half-million spectators and some 20,000 participants every year. Of the 23,326 runners who started the race on Monday, 17,584 finished before the blast, marathon officials said. The runners were diverted before officials brought the marathon to a halt. The Boston Marathon released a new statement on Tuesday afternoon, extending its sympathy to families affected by the bomb blasts and thanking all those who helped save lives.

a day of joy and celebration quickly became a day in which running a marathon was of little importance,' it said.
'Boston is strong. Boston is resilient. Boston is our home. And Boston has made us enormously proud in the past 24 hours. .. We are committed to continuing that tradition with the running of the 118th Boston Marathon in 2014.'

Steve Hansen is attempting to downplay expectations after New Zealand's unbeaten run to the semi-finalGetty Images
Reigning champions New Zealand have made just one change to their team for the Rugby World Cup semi-final against South Africa at Twickenham, with Joe Moody replacing the injured Wyatt Crockett at loose-head prop. Ben Franks comes into the matchday 23 as a result.
Ritchie McCaw sets a new record with his 12th appearance at the showcase event as All Blacks captain, surpassing England's Martin Johnson and Will Carling, Raphaël Ibañez of France, South Africa's John Smit and Wales skipper Sam Warburton, all of whom have led their nations on 11 occasions in a World Cup.

rail separating diners from sweet malty steam. Saddled up to a long copper-clad bar, amidst pseudo-lodge decor, we tried all five of the Blue Ridge brews. Colonel Parris Pale Ale began fruity and ended with pleasant hop flower flavor delivered from its medium body. An ESB, Rainbow Trout Amber, was also medium bodied with chocolate malt in the background followed by a late hops bow. Thin but flavorful, Kurli Blonde Ale was more than a beginner's beer. Hurricane Hefe Weizen, served with lemon wedge, was cloudy yellow, with an estery yeasty taste somewhat diminished by the citrus sidecar. Thick, black and harsh from black patent malt, XXX Total Eclipse Stout took a bronze medal in the '98 World Beer Cup. All in all, head brewer Ryan Kurlfirk isdoing a nice job.
Just down the street, we stopped in at Henni's, a longtime bar which added a brewery - in the far reaches of the kitchen - back in 1996 or so. Although the bar still served Henni's brews, we discovered that they were being contract brewed at a local microbrewery by the former Henni's brewer. Back in late '98, Tom Davis pulled out of Henni's to found his own brewery, Thomas Creek. Now he's busy selling kegs and bottles of his Pilsner, Multi-Grain and Amber to local stores and bars. The Pilsner packed a powerhouse of flavor in its clear yellow body. The Amber was malty with a smooth sweet hop finish and the Brown was done in suggestive, moderately hopped American Brown style.

side of s hip that looked into the water now that it was slightly

back slightly shocked and looked again but saw nothing. Last time
he checked, sharks were said to be gray, not shining

sea water. The floorhe was on was one floor below the deck so it
filled with water right away. It was shockingly cold and

drag him rapidly, deeper and deeper into the freezing ocean

blurry silver shapes crowding the ship in front of him. The
shapes seemed to double under the water as they swarmed like
minnows around fish food. The pressure began to squeeze the air
from Shay's lungs while he sunk limply down into the darkness,
hundreds of feet below. His eyes were half closed and the last of

moved farther and farther away from him. He gave up and sucked in

A case of early carcinoma of the distal second part of the duodenum, in a 74-year-old man, is presented. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was performed for diagnosis of a common bile duct stone. During this procedure, small elevated lesions were found incidentally in the distal second part of the duodenum, and the histologic examination of a biopsy specimen showed adenocarcinoma. The lesions were removed by wedge resection, and pathologic examination revealed duodenal carcinoma limited to the lamina propria. Although carcinoma of the duodenum, other than of the ampulla of Vater region, is very rare, it is sometimes possible to detect asymptomatic early tumors. However, this requires careful observation of the entire duodenal mucosa, including that of

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED IN THE EXTENDED NATIONAL EXECUTIVE MEETING OF A.I.C.A.E.A.

EXECUTIVE MEETING OF N.F.C.A.A. HELD AT NEW DELHI ON 2OTH AND 21ST

situation prevailing in the O/o the PAO-II, Central Excise, New Delhi. The

CCA, UD had asked four Sr. Accountants to
join in the same Office from where they were transferred but in the same
evening, they were relieved under the warning and threat that they should
proceed and report to their respective place of posting immediately, failing
which, they would face the consequences. Since no other alternative was
available with them, the transferred
Sr. Accountants had carried out orders of the authority obediently and reported
for duty in the new place of posting across India. Such a tactics seem to have
been played by the administration of CCA, UD with the ulterior intention of
detaching the concerned employees from confidence and shelter of the
Association and convey to authority that the issue has been handled by it
efficiently.
The facts of vindictive actions of
CCA, UD towards the innocent employees was brought tothe knowledge of the
Honorable Minister of Urban Development too by the All India Civil Accounts
Employees Association with the request to intervene and settle the matter. It
is also learnt that the Honorable Minister, on humanitarian grounds, in the
general interest of the welfare of the employees, has kindly intervened in this
matter.
But this meeting observes with regret that even the
interventions of the highest Authority of the Civil Accounts organization and
Honorable Minister for Urban Development could not bring out the justice to the
victims.
Hence, the meeting once again urges
upon the respective authorities to kindly direct the administration of CCA, UD
to re-transfer all the persons to their original station of posting immediately
and help to restore congenial working atmosphere in the organization.
This meeting resolves that, if the
content of resolution is properly taken care of, in

Paul Laxalt's mother had dreamed of rebuilding the Ormsby House hotel the family had once owned in Carson City. Laxalt was a proud man who loved his mother, so it became his dream, too. In 1972, 18 months after the end of his term as Nevada's governor, the shiny new facility opened its doors.
Thirteen years, millions of dollars and two huge boxes of legal papers later, Laxalt finds that the dream has brought him to an austere courtroom many blocks from this city's neon gambling halls. He has sent his lawyers here, however, not to test the hotel market in Carson City, but to examine the foibles and rights of American journalists, the nature of guilt by association and the reach

drained money from the new hotel.
Still, Laxalt almost immediately demanded a retraction of nearly everything in the article. He argued that even the many paragraphs that appeared to have nothing to do with him cast a shadow over his reputation by appearing in the same article with his name. In a deposition for the case, Laxalt denied that profits were skimmed and said he did not know whether his associates were connected to the mob.
The Bee and Walsh stood by the story. A few other news organizations, including CBS and ABC, appeared interested in pursuing the charges in the last days of the 1984 presidential campaign. Laxalt sued McClatchy newspapers and indicated that anyone else who pursued the Bee charges might find himself in court.
Today, the case stumblestoward a possible February trial date, dragging behind it the two key documents in the case, Walsh's 880-page deposition taken in Sacramento in September and Laxalt's 977-page deposition taken in Washington in October.
Magistrate Phyllis Halsey Atkins barred either side from releasing copies of the depositions after Laxalt attorney James Beasley complained to the court about Laxalt deposition excerpts appearing in newspapers. He indicated that he was particularly upset about reports of his instruction to Laxalt not to answer questions about a California Justice Department report on alleged skimming that failed to give his reasoning for the instruction.
The Washington Post obtained copies of both depositions before Atkins issued her order. Atkins vacated her order Dec. 20 after Beasley said her strong warnings against unethical behavior were enough.

The Razorbacks recovered and had three straight scores over 9.800, including a 9.875 from senior Braie Speed. Speed has been one of the more consistent vaulters in program history and will finish her career scoring a 9.8 or higher in 36 of 40 vault routines. Burton, who had vaulted just once in her career before today, was forced into the anchor spot on vault due to injuries and tallied a 9.5125 on a 9.7 start value.
The Razorbacks ended the meet strong, posting a 49.2875 on bars, its highest score on the event in its eight appearances at the NCAA Championships. All six in Arkansas' rotation scored overa 9.8.

a journalist and a writer and in his diary of the plague year, he described the great pits that consumed the dead:
I say they had dug several pits in another ground, when the distemper began to spread in our parish, and especially when the dead-carts began to go about, which was not, in our parish, till the beginning of August. Into these pits they had put perhaps fifty or sixty bodies each; then they made larger holes wherein they buried all that the cart brought in a week, which, by the middle to the end of August, came to from 200 to 400 a week; and they could not well dig them larger, because of the order of the magistrates confining them to leave no bodies within sixthe churchwardens knew the condition of the parish better than they did: for, the pit being finished the 4th of September, I think, they began to bury in it the 6th, and by the 20th, which was just two weeks, they had thrown into it 1114 bodies when they were obliged to fill it up, the bodies being then come to lie within six feet of the surface. I doubt not but there may be some ancient persons alive in the parish who can justify the fact of this, and are able to show even in what place of the churchyard the pit lay better than I can. The mark of it also was many years to be seen in the churchyard on the surface, lying in length

Boss Encounter: King Daraghne Some dead kings have a problem with staying dead. Some get resurrected to save their nation from the brink of destruction. And then there's King Daraghne of the long-gone nation of Ar-Dial. Who has been ripped from his eternal slumber to do the bidding of Tealach Midinvaerne and the cult of the red coin. Paranoid Puppet. A few centuries ago King Daraghne was a human king, ruling over his nation in a time of strife between humans and elves. His subjects demanded swift punishment against the bands of the elves who dared raid the caravans of the humans in broad daylight as they passed from the city state of Benia through the valley of the elves which is now modern Rhivany. Daraghne was neverknown to be a wise ruler, but rather a genius of military prowess, for spurned by his advisors who sought more lands of their own and his own paranoia, he set out with an army to fight the elves on his own terms. King of Conquerers. The armies of Ar-Dial crushed the inexperienced volunteers of the elves and drove them into the mountains of the land, but as soon as the humans rejoiced in their victory, they were wiped out by a magical force. Grieving the loss of their mighty king, the humans of Ar-Dial burried him with his troops in the catacombs of their great nation. A tomb of massive proportions and filled to the brim with tales of yonder, sealed for centuries until the cult of

the red coin opened it, lead by Tealach. Unholy Sorcery. The experiments of the cult were frutitious and after the first Affront were finished, the cult set out to plan their actual ritual. The holy sword of the Elven King should finally be his, and who better to deliver it than the very king who struck him down all those centuries ago? He will tear open the exits to the catacombs and reign chaos on the surface with the holy weapon, as the city of Senkant lies on top of the enormous grave. Fueled by vile energy, Daraghne and the sword have grown to an enormous size. Undying, Unyielding. Daraghne does not die due to wounds or spells, for he is fueled by vile magic and blood ofRed Coin can be a challenge, as the number of creatures in this encounter plays a large factor in how it plays. Let your players survey the map, spot threats and points of attack for future use, before starting the combat. The first few turns of the encounter will be spent by closing the distance with the members of the cult, before their numbers begin to shrink in the following turns. In the first three rounds, while Daraghne is completely enchained, make use of the actual monsters you placed throughout the area, as you don't need to micromanage them as well as Daraghne at this point.
Once Daraghne breaks free of his chains and starts moving in the 8th round of combat, consider his position and his goals. He

we'd been cold for days, and it was sunny, warm, shorts weather! It took us a couple of hours to drive around this way, and it was absolutely worth it.
We got into Red Lodge in the late afternoon, scouted the campsites, and visited the Chamber of Commerce to get an update on the pass opening.
Apparently, there had been a very large avalanche/landslide the night before, which covered three layers of road and ripped out some guard rail. The woman at the chamber told us that the last time there was an avalanche that size, the road was closed for the whole season, as it ripped out a portion of the actual road as well. But she offered us a nice place to go ATVing, and a free Frisbee.
Weall the way down the hill.
It turned out, of course, to be a beautiful ski, in a beautiful place, all alone, and when it was all said and done, I had conquered fear several times over, and Kurt was happy to let me do that, gracious and helpful. I left that fear there on the hill, and we skied back across the frozen lake once we saw a bunch of fresh bear tracks out on the ice. It was beautiful, pristine, and heady.
When we got back to the car, a guy pulled up in his truck and told us about another great spot up on the pass, which he said had opened for a few hours the day before. His name was Noah, and he was seriously addicted

The Dons produced a superb performance full of character and determination to defy the League 2 leaders.
A 1-1 draw was the least Wimbledon deserved from a fantastic game of football and there was no shortage of quality too from the Dons as Lyle Taylor struck a brilliant equaliser.
It was reward for the 376 Dons fans who made the trip on a Tuesday night and they certainly made plenty of noise in the second-half in appreciation of a fine effort from Wimbledon.
The Dons made just one change from the side that started against Oxford with George Francomb recalled in place of Sean Rigg.

Bruhn: Analysis and Design of Flight Vehicle Structures
Analysis and Design of Flight Vehicle Structures by E.F. Bruhn is one of the most useful Aerospace Industry and University text books ever written with the emphasis on practical application with input from both material strength and hands-on experience. It was originally published in 1965, and was revised in 1973. This book was prepared as a source of data and procedure for use in the sizing and design of both airframe and space vehicle structures and is the only book that has been widely used by the Aerospace Industry to date. The material presented herein has been compiled largely from the data of NACA reports and technical publications. Also there are chapters in this book that contain materials supplied to the1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to electromagnetic air pumps and, more particularly, to an electromagnetic air pump having a resinous air tank for temporarily storing compressed air.
2. Description of the Related Art
An electromagnetic air pump has a pump unit having an electromagnetic drive section to suck in air from the surroundings and to compress the air and an air tank for temporarily storing the compressed air from the pump unit to remove pulsation caused in the compressed air by the pump unit before discharging the compressed air.
Air compressed by the air pump is heated to a considerably high temperature by adiabatic compression. Therefore, the air tank needs to be capable of effectively performing heat dissipation. For this purpose, for example, a space for heat dissipation

The 30 most prominent such economies account for almost 40% of global GDP, notes the Institute for International Finance, which represents global banks. Yet their weight in benchmark portfolios of global stocks is only about 13%.
As a group, the emerging economies are actually net exporters of capital to the rest of the world. Even as they have attracted large private capital inflows, their central banks have engineered an even greater capital outflow by accumulating big foreign-exchange reserves. They smoked foreign capital but they did not inhale, as Martin Wolf of the Financial Times once put it.
That is true of the group as a whole. But it is not the case for every member, some of whom breathed deep. Turkey, South Africa, India, Brazil and, latterly,

transcript
With all the controversy about the viral video Kony 2012, which calls for U.S. military intervention in Uganda and support for the Ugandan military, there's another piece of context that's not being talked about very much, and that's U.S. support for the president of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Joseph Kabila, who was elected in what most people think was a very fraudulent election, but recognized by the United States.
Now joining us to talk about that election and current situation in the Congo is Kambale Musavuli. He's a human rights activist originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo. He's also the national spokesman for Friends of the Congo. And he joins

praise. Part of the reason the Knicks' defense evaporates without Shump is the alternatives at guard behind him. J.R. Smith is a decent defender when he digs in and focuses, but he's been unreliable on that end for the entirety of his career. Tim Hardaway Jr. has been a joy to watch on offense this year, but he is incapable of consistently contributing on the defensive end at this point. Shump is the best defender of the bunch, but these aren't exactly stalwarts he's replacing. Still, he deserves credit as one of the few Knicks dedicated to the defensive end of the floor.
What changes while Shumpert is manning the wing for the Knicks? The Knicks suddenly get very good at forcing turnovers. Shumpert is excellent at pressuring ball-handlers,especially in one-on-one situations. He's got quick hands, and is excellent at targeting the ball as soon as defenders expose it in the lane. He's made an art form of hanging his paw in mid-air and measuring his opponent's drive, then slicing down on the ball just as his opponent shows it. This shot is from December 28th's contest in Toronto of Shump defending All-Star guard DeMar DeRozan in space:
Shump maintains an upright stance while he sticks to DeRozan's hip, and keeps one hand high as he waits for his opportunity. He strikes quickly but misses as DeRozan spins down the paint. But Shumpert is patient, and Shumpert is lucky. DeRozan's spin move gives Shump enough time to recover and deliver another swipe downwards with his right hand,

corner to contain Deron. On this play, Shump doesn't need any help: As soon as Deron brings the orange up to attack the rim, Shumpert's arm slashes down and smacks the ball over to J.R. Smith:
It's risky, but that risk is paying off for Shumpert and the Knicks. The ace defender is forcing turnovers on 18.5% of his opponent's isolation possessions, per MySynergySports. He's also committing shooting fouls on 13.6% of those possessions, so his play isn't without risk. Still, the Knicks need him to disrupt opposing guard offense, and his ability to slide into any perimeter position on defense is invaluable. The Knicks are mediocre at protecting the rim, especially without Kenyon Martin prowling below the basket, so Shump's thievery matters. Knick opponents are turning the ballbeing worse defensively than Jason Kidd, Steve Novak, and Ronnie Brewer were in '12-'13. Perhaps it is partly due to Shump spending more minutes at his more natural position at the 2 this year. Still, after losing the defensive edge to JR Smith in similar lineups last season Shump appears to be settling in as an actual impact player for the Knicks in this one. Shump has always looked the part of an elite defender, but it's nice to see him making a measurable mark on that end this year. The Knicks have tough decisions ahead with the 2015 free agent class looming, but Shumpert's on his way to proving his value to the team.

a strong response. Ultimately, America received two important benefits from this incomplete victory: the free flow of American shipping in the region and the promise that future American captives would not be enslaved, but be treated as POWs. The First Barbary War, marking the first time that the American flag was raised in victory on foreign soil, had ended with America standing up to the pirates, something the established European naval powers had not done. The young nation's navy now had valuable experience and had proven that it could effectively fight for its interests. As a critical military legacy, it marked the emergence of the young nation as a force to be reckoned with in foreign seas. It was the first American victory outside the Western hemisphere andthe first conflict in which the U.S. Navy worked in concert with U.S. land forces to demonstrate that American forces could fight as a cohesive unit in the execution of a war far from home to sustain national honor and respect. With naval experience under its belt, the U.S. was now well prepared to return to the Maghreb during the War of 1812 and win handily. As a result of that British-instigated conflict which lasted a mere 48 hours, full shipping rights, minus financial fealty, were won for all American ships as well as restitution for damaged vessels and stolen goods. It wasn't until 1815 that the naval victories won by Commodores William Bainbridge and Stephen Decatur led to treaties ending all tribute payments. After a decisive victory

in Algiers, Decatur sailed to Tunis and Tripoli, where he reached similar agreements, gaining reparations and the releases of American and European slaves. Thus, Kilmeade and Yaeger conclude in their dramatic retelling of this mostly forgotten war that the Americans under James Madison finally put a stop to the centuries-old practice of Barbary kidnapping, theft, terror, and slavery. From this early international victory in the Barbary Wars, the U.S. embarked on its journey to become one of the world's greatest military and economic superpowers.of the drug use and heroin-related items, such as syringes, rubber ties, and packets of powder.
At the end of the research, it was discovered that, compared to a placebo, cannabidiol reduced drug cue-induced cravings and anxiety among the participants. Based on these results, it can be stated that CBD is a promising agent for treating patients with heroin abuse.
To date, the United States is in a permanent fight with an opioid epidemic that has claimed more than 300,000 lives since its beginning in the 1990s. A new, clinically approved non-opioid medication will significantly change the existing list of addiction medications. Moreover, it would decrease the growing death losses, reduce enormous health care costs, as well as change treatment limitations imposed by government regulations because of the persistent opioid

leading to the outbreak of numerous Kurdish revolts during the twentieth century, the various regimes that have governed Syria since the era of Gamal Abdel Nasser and the subsequent governments of secession and the Baath party later policies were a bit different. These governments practiced maximum pressures but without breaking the balance to arrive to the point of explosion and revolution. It engaged in unremitting efforts to arabize every detail of the Kurdish region in Syria, and took the lands of the Kurds in the border strip to distribute them to the Arabs who had been brought from an area of Euphrates basin, and forbade Kurdish language and culture, as well as prevented any public political or civil expression incompatible with the over-Arabism policy pursued by these regimes.since the start of the revolution? How has the Assad regime dealt with the popular movement in these areas? What is the relationship between the various Kurdish groups and Syrian revolutionaries, the Free Syrian Army, the Islamist forces, etc.?
Alan Hassaf: I remember that the first demonstration in Qamishli after the beginning of the Syrian revolution was in early April of 2011, just two weeks after the first demonstrations in Deraa. The Kurdish youth had the main role in the coordination of the demonstrations, to organise them on a weekly basis and on permanent basis in Qamishli and all Kurdish cities. The Kurdish coordination committees coordinated and cooperated with their counterparts in other Syrian cities across the different networks available to coordinate between them, such as the Local Coordination

Do you think it is possible to build a Third Force, that is democratic and progressive and guarantees the fulfilment of the original goals of the revolution, and that is independent from the regime and the backward Islamist forces?
Alan Hassaf: The demands of the Syrian street is absent, the principles of the beginning of the revolution are absent, the conflicting parties, either the regime or the opposition represented by the Coalition forces and Islamic fundamentalist forces, the two military sides, are acting as part of the regional and internationalpoverty. The government notified MPs before the weekend that it planned to bring in the anti-poverty legislation this week.
The law will set an official poverty line for the country for the first time, create a council on poverty to advise the minister in charge of the plan, and require annual reports to Parliament on the government's progress to reduce poverty rates.
Poverty-reduction targets already appear in the Liberals' latest budget-implementation bill, styled as the first phase of a full poverty-reduction law.
The government's strategy sets reduction targets of 20 per cent from 2015 levels by 2020 and 50 per cent by 2030.

- Data supplied by the Automobile Association.The channels through which corporations may support elected officials are a subject of long-standing and contentious debate in the United States. Firms' capacity to spend on behalf of elected officials of whom they approve increased markedly with the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision in 2010. While a large body of research has studied the determinants of corporate political contributions and has attempted to track their consequences, almost no attention has been paid to another channel through which corporations may interact with elected officials: corporate philanthropy. Do corporations which support or have business with office holders make sizeable charitable donations either to charities located in those politicians' districts, or on whose boards the politicians serve?

When legislators leave Congress, there is a drop in corporate donations into their districts, as seasoned and influential members of Congress are replaced by freshmen, a pattern that also appears for PAC contributions.
Similar patterns are observed in corporate giving to nonprofits in which members of Congress have a personal interest, such as those on whose board the congressperson serves. Corporate foundations are more likely to support a nonprofit with a member of Congress on its board if that member sits on a committee relevant to the corporation. In general, nonprofit organizations with a politician on their board are over four times more likely to receive grants from corporate foundations than are their comparable peer foundations.
The researchers develop a model to assess the fraction of corporate charity that maytwo beautiful specimens lying in bed reveling in

However, Ankara's greatest gripe concerns a Greek court decision not to extradite eight Turkish former servicemen who fled to Greece following the botched 2016 military coup against the Turkish government.

The Rivals Camp Series presented by Under Armour had stops this past weekend in Hattiesburg, Miss., and Birmingham. Many of the state's elite players in the classes of 2015, 2016 and even 2017 participated in the events.
The first camp in Hattiesburg saw a few players from the state of Alabama walk away with the day's top awards. Joshua Williams, offensive guard from Vigor, earned the offensive line MVP. Darius Whitfield,class of 2016 from St. Paul's, won defensive lineman MVP. Williams is still seeking his first offer. Whitfield has a few early offers including Florida State, Louisville, Ole Miss and South Carolina. He is the younger brother of Alabama 2014 signee, Josh Casher.
Desherrius Flowers, Rivals100 running back and Alabama commitment from Vigor, also competed in the camp. The 6-foot, 212-pound athlete committed to the Tide last spring. He remains firm with his commitment, but reveled his plans to visit Auburn and LSU.Dylan Moses, 2017 running back and LSU commitment from University School in Baton Rouge, La., was the only player in Hattiesburg to earn an invite to the Rivals Five-Star Challenge in Baltimore this summer.

the first material film and the second material film so that the film quality is degrated, and the second material film on the first material film pattern is hard to remove due to the etching selectivity between the exposed material under the first material film pattern and the second material. When reactive ion etching is used for removing the first material film using the second material film pattern as the mask, part of the second material film is decomposed during etching and a new etching species is produced so that side etching of the first material film adversely occurs due to this etching species.
In the conventional MOS type semiconductor integrated circuit, on an area between adjacent elements, that is, in the field region, a relatively thick field insulatingby using the same silicon nitride film as the mask, a thick oxide film is selectively deposited on the field region by high temperature thermal oxidation. Thereafter, the silicon nitride film is removed and the thin silicon oxide film thereunder is then removed to form elements on the exposed substrate by a known process. According to this method, the photoetching process is required only once when the silicon nitride film is selectively etched. Further, since the insulating film of the field region and the channel stopper are self-aligned, the method described above has advantages in that the manufacturing cost is low and the masking error need not be considered.
However, the following problems are present when the selective oxidation method is used for isolating elements in an integrated circuit

Attempting to moderate the left-indigenous activist community, his administration also opposed the right-wing autonomist demands of Bolivia's eastern provinces. Winning a recall referendum in 2008, he instituted a new constitution that established Bolivia as a plurinational state and was re-elected in 2009. His second term witnessed the continuation of leftist policies and Bolivia's joining of the Bank of the South and Community of Latin American and Caribbean States; he was again reelected in the 2014 general election. Following the disputed 2019 general election and the ensuing unrest, Morales resigned and flew to Mexico where he had been granted political asylum.

A constituent assembly was convened in 2006, which produced a final text ofof Bolivia in the January 2009 referendum, new elections were called. Morales won the 2009 general election with a landslide majority, polling 64%. His party, Movement for Socialism, also won a two-thirds majority in both the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate.
Assassination attempt
On April 16, 2009, Bolivian police killed three men and arrested two others in what was called an assassination plot against Morales. The three men were all foreigners: Eduardo Rózsa-Flores, from Hungary; Michael Dwyer, from Ireland; and Árpád Magyarosi, from Romania. Police said the men discussed bombing a boat on Lake Titicaca where Morales and his cabinet had been meeting on 3 April 2009.

secondary air inlet opening and at least in certain areas extends into the air flow directed toward the ram air inlet opening in order to shield the ram air inlet opening from foreign matter in the second position.
In the fresh air inlet according to the invention, a deflector shield required for the ram air inlet is realized in the form of the flap that simultaneously serves for covering another secondary air inlet opening. The first position of the flap is assumed in flight phases, in which a relatively high flying speed is reached and the aircraft is located far above the ground. The secondary air inlet opening could be realized, for example, in the form of an opening that is located directly in an outer surface of theflowing directly to the ram air inlet.
In an advantageous additional development of the invention, the flap is essentially located upstream of the ram air inlet and the secondary air inlet opening in its second position. This means that the entire air inlet surface between the flap and the ram air inlet is made available on the ground and the influence of the ram pressure on the secondary air inlet opening is minimized at slow speeds. This likewise makes it possible to realize a relatively large distance between the flap and the ram air inlet opening such that less fluidic interference effects occur at the ram air inlet.
In another advantageous additional development of the air inlet according to the invention, the flap is essentially located between the ram air

able to use
his connections to bring over several Czech scholars at a time when such things
were terribly difficult to do. Gabrielová, Pilková, Burghauser, and Jiránek
were the guests, and their contribution was memorable.
Finally, Mráček was able to
cobble together an impressive amount of support, from both public and private
sources. There were grants from the NEH and British Council, San Diego
State University and the L.J. Skaggs Foundation, and, critical to the success
of the whole operation, the creation of the Friends of Czechoslovak Music.
This meeting was an
inspiration to many of us, as was its creator. Mráček was living proof
that one could have a career as a student of Czech and Slovak music, and make a
difference in the lives of so many younger scholars.
At this point, it would be
hard to find anyone inthe larger field of Czech and Slovak music who did not
benefit in some way from Mráček's work in general, and the Smetana Centennial
Conference in particular. Without it, who knows where we would be?
With it, and with his example, we were all enriched.
On behalf of our society and
our field I mourn the loss of Jaroslav Mráček and offer deep and sincere
condolences to his family. If at any point we take pride in our work and
our specialization, we owe him thanks.

to preview the potential arguments for the major awards in either league. How violent will the debates be? Can anything compare with Trout/Cabrera?
AL MVP
There's a 24-year-old kid who's about to be the MVP runner-up or MVP in each of the last four seasons, and I swear to Trout, we're not appreciating this enough.
But the race is over. It's over with the statheads, and it's over with the traditionalists. Josh Donaldson has the edge on Mike Trout in just about every meaningful category. He's close to a full win up in FanGraphs' WAR, and even if they're close to tied in the park-adjusted hitting metrics, Donaldson has the edge in Win Probability Added, which is a fine tiebreaker. For the traditionalists, Donaldson is leading the league in RBI andup. So for now, Keuchel is the frontrunner, but there still might be arguments out there by the end of the season.
Potential argument rating on the Trout-Cabrera scale: 6 out of 10

estate, Exhibit E, showed total receipts for the period covered by the application of $302,979.73 which included $169,599.78 of bank account proceeds from the debtor's bank accounts that were closed out and transferred to the Trustee upon his appointment. The balance of the receipts, or $133,379.95, were proceeds received from the sale of the debtor's railroad right of way, insurance proceeds, interest earned, proceeds from the sale of personal property and other smaller items. The Trustee's total disbursements for the period equaled $44,744.91 leaving a balance on hand in the Trustee's bank accounts *955 as of December 31, 1987 in the amount of $258,234.82.
Exhibit G to the application showed debtor's right of way acreage totaled 311.28 acres to be sold during the course of administration. Through March of1988, 72 percent of the available acreage had been sold with 28 percent yet to be liquidated. The debtor previously operated as a short-line railroad between the cities of Lawrenceville and Mt. Carmel in southeastern Illinois covering a right of way approximately 25 miles in length with a general width of 100 feet. Debtor ceased operating in May 1984 and thereafter the trackage along the line was removed. The debtor initially filed for relief in the Southern District of Illinois but that case was dismissed and refiled in this Court as a Chapter 11 reorganization on April 25, 1985. Thereafter, debtor operated as a debtor in possession until appointment of the applicant Trustee.

DJ Neil Fox's commercial radio career has spanned 30 years, and during this time he has won 10 Sony radio industry awards and a lifetime achievement award.
His early radio career saw him move from Radio Luxembourg to London's Capital Radio in the late 1980s.
Mr Fox, who used the nicknames Dr Fox and Foxy, started presenting the station's chart show in 1993.The show's popularity peaked in 1995 when the Daily Mirror reported more than 3.5 million listeners tuned in each week - making it more popular than Radio 1's Official Chart show.
He was a judge on ITV's talent show Pop Idol from 2001 to 2003, alongside music mogul Simon Cowell. The show became one of the most popular reality programs on TV and more than 13 million viewers watched the final of the first series.
Mr Fox left Capital in 2005 after missing out on presenting the breakfast show, which was given to Johnny Vaughan, moving to rival station Magic 105.4 the same year to present its breakfast show.
By June 2008 he was the most popular breakfast DJ on London commercial radio, with a peak audience of 158,000 listeners -

his contractual UIM right against his own liability insurer until he has first recovered the tortfeasor's liability limit by settlement or judgment. That recovery is then offset against the maximum UIM coverage provided for by the policy. Thus, the UIM, but not the UM, coverage has essential attributes of excess rather than primary protection. It is this distinction which creates the conceptual and practical problems presented by these cases.
We consider the facts of the cases before us against the background of this statutory development. The Longworth case arises out of an automobile accident which occurred on June 7, 1983. Plaintiff Zenta Longworth sustained serious injuries when her car, which she was driving, was struck in the rear by an automobile owned and operated by defendant Peter Van Houton.general release, deposited the policy limit into court. Plaintiff then demanded payment from Ohio of her UIM benefits, and upon Ohio's rejection of her demand, she brought a breach of contract action against it. That action was consolidated with the negligence action pending against Van Houton.
As we understand the positions taken by the parties in the consolidated litigation, Allstate, despite its concession of liability, refused to pay plaintiff its policy limits of $15,000 unless plaintiff gave its insured, Van Houton, a general release. Ohio asserted that plaintiff could not give him a general release without compromising the subrogation rights to which the policy would entitle it upon its payment of UIM benefits. Ohio also asserted that under the arbitration provision of the UIM coverage, its obligation to pay

limit in exchange for the general release of its insureds, Baumann and Bowers. On September 11, 1985, Nash's attorney wrote to Prudential's claim representative, advising of the Hanover tender, demanding payment from Prudential under the UIM coverage, and requesting that the medical information obtained by Prudential for purposes of PIP payments be turned over to whomever at Prudential would evaluate the UIM claim. On October 7, 1985, not having received a reply, Nash's attorney again wrote to Prudential requesting the favor of a response to his earlier letter. On October 29, 1985, Hanover reiterated its offer to Nash's attorney, asking to be advised of his intentions. This letter prompted another demand by Nash on Prudential, which was apparently unanswered. On February 25, 1986, Hanover wrote to Nash's attorneytortfeasor and protect his UIM insurer's right to subrogation. If he gives a release, he will have extinguished his UIM carrier's right of subrogation, an act which, under the policy, affords the carrier grounds for disclaiming its UIM liability. If he will not give a release, he cannot settle with the tortfeasor and, consequently, he will be able to seek recovery under his UIM endorsement only if he proceeds to judgment against the tortfeasor, incurring the expense and delay of litigation, even where the tortfeasor's carrier is willing to pay and he is willing to accept the policy limits.
The limbo into which the insured victim is thus cast by reason of the UIM carrier's asserted right of subrogation, as protected by the consent-to-settle clause, utterly frustrates the legislative

think, which were fixed by that statute. One was that the grantor was given the privilege or option at any time during his life to have the deed vacated by taking proceedings in court, although there was no intent to defraud and although the grantee may have been performing his duty under his obligation to support. The other result fixed by the enactment was to confine that right to the grantor and limit it to his lifetime. That limitation is not confined by the statute to a situation where the grantee is complying with his covenant and entered into it without fraud, but the statute extended the limitation to a situation where the grantee entered into the obligation with the intent of defrauding the grantor and the granteetime to ensure a timely connection.

The Chicago Marathon is one of the biggest races in the world, which makes Dennis Kimetto the star of the day as the 2013 champion.
With a time of two hours, three minutes and 45 seconds, the Kenyan won the men's race thanks to an outstanding and consistent performance from start to finish. This time broke the previous course record of 2:04:38, which was set at last year's race.
Although he was short of Wilson Kipsang's world-record mark of 2:03:23 set at the Berlin Marathon, Kimetto still put together one of the best performances ever. Per the NBC broadcast, he earns $100,000 for the win, plus another $75,000 for setting the course record.
Emmanuel Mutai remained step for step with Kimetto through most of the race, but he fell back lateand finished in second place, seven seconds behind the winner.
Sammy Kitwara gave Kenya a clean sweep with his third-place finish, while Dathan Ritzenhein was the top American finisher in fifth place.
On the women's side, Rita Jeptoo stood above the rest with a time of 2:19:57. This is her second major marathon of the year after also winning the Boston Marathon.
Jeptoo lost last year's Chicago Marathon by one second, but she made sure this one was nowhere close with a 53-second victory over Jemima Jelagat Sumgong.
Here is a look at the top finishers at this year's race.
This prestigious event is one of the biggest races in distance running. The relatively flat course leads to low times and often record-breaking performances, while the scenic views of the city give every

six months the two had conflicts at times and Brown would leave the apartment she shared with the defendant to stay with her mother. She testified that she would return to the defendant and the apartment they shared when he called to tell her to return. Brown testified that she and the defendant had sexual relations throughout their relationship. Although she sometimes enjoyed their sexual relations, she often had sex with the defendant just to accommodate him. On those occasions, she would stand still and remain entirely passive while the defendant undressed her and had intercourse with her.
Brown testified that at times their consensual sexual relations involved some violence. The defendant had struck her several times throughout the relationship when she refused to give him money or refusedto do what he wanted. Around May 15, 1981, the defendant struck her after asking her for money that she refused to give him. Brown left the apartment she shared with the defendant and moved in with her mother. She did not have intercourse with the defendant after May 15 until the alleged rape on June 15. After Brown left the defendant, he called her several times and visited her at Durham Technical Institute where she was enrolled in classes. When he visited her they talked about their relationship. Brown testified that she did not tell him she wanted to break off their relationship because she was afraid he would be angry.
On June 15, 1981, Brown arrived at Durham Technical Institute by taxicab to find the defendant standing

as they walked, but that she paid little attention to what he said because she was preoccupied with her own thoughts. They passed several people. They walked along several streets and went down a path close to a wooded area where they stopped to talk. The defendant asked again where Brown had moved. She asked him whether he would let her go if she told him her address. The defendant then asked whether the relationship was over and Brown told him it was. He then said that since everyone could see her but him he had a right to make love to her again. Brown said nothing.
The two turned around at that point and began walking towards a street they had walked down previously. Changing directions, they walkedin the same fashion they had walked beforeside by side with Brown sometimes slightly behind. The defendant did not hold or touch Brown as they walked. Brown testified that the defendant did not say where they were going but that, when he said he wanted to make love, she knew he was going to the house of a friend. She said they had gone to the house on prior occasions to have sex. The defendant and Brown passed the same group of men they had passed previously. Brown did not ask for assistance because some of the men were friends of the defendant, and she assumed they would not help. The defendant and Brown continued to walk to the house of one of the defendant's friends, Lawrence Taylor.

that she did not try to push him away. She cried during the intercourse. Afterwards they talked. The defendant told her he wanted to make sure she was not lying about where she lived and that he would not let her up unless she told him.
After they dressed they talked again about the man Brown had been seeing. They left the house and went to the defendant's mother's house. After talking with the defendant's mother, Brown took a bus home. She talked with her mother about taking out a complaint against the defendant but did not tell her mother she and the defendant had had sex. Brown made a complaint to the police the same day.
The defendant continued to call Brown after June 15, but she refused tosee him. One evening he called from a telephone booth and told her he had to talk. When he got to her apartment he threatened to kick her door down and Brown let him inside. Once inside he said he had intended merely to talk to her but that he wanted to make love again after seeing her. Brown said she sat and looked at him, and that he began kissing her. She pulled away and he picked her up and carried her to the bedroom. He performed oral sex on her and she testified that she did not try to fight him off because she found she enjoyed it. The two stayed together until morning and had sexual intercourse several times that night. Brown did not disclose

intent to rape Brown at the time he removed her.
The defendant argues that no substantial evidence was introduced tending to show either that he forcibly removed Brown or that he had the intent to rape her when he did so. Our review of the evidence introduced at trial leads us to the conclusion that, although there was substantial evidence of force, intimidation and removal of Brown by the defendant, the evidence was insufficient to show that the defendant removed her with the intent to commit rape.
The evidence tended to show that when he approached Brown at the school on June 15, the defendant blocked her way and grabbed her arm, forcing her to walk with him towards the parking lot. He questioned her about where she was livingand expressed a desire to see her again. There was no evidence that while he held her he had an intent to have sex with her. He made no sexual remarks but expressed a desire to talk about their relationship. The two then embarked on a walk through the neighborhood. The defendant and Brown continued on their walk, staying slightly apart, with the defendant neither holding Brown nor threatening her in any way with what might happen if she tried to leave. They talked about their relationship as they walked.
The defendant made no sexual remarks at all until they reached a wooded area some distance from the school and stopped to talk. There Brown told the defendant that the relationship was over. For the first time the defendant

1Sa 17:23 - And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words: and David heard them.
1Sa 17:25 - And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, the kingwill enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel.
1Sa 17:26 - And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
1Sa 17:28 - And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the

1Sa 17:39 - And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.
1Sa 17:40 - And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and hishis hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.
1Sa 17:51 - Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.
1Sa 17:52 - And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou come to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron.

The city was using the county's BearCat more often than the county uses it. The sheriff's office said in 2013 that the city was using it about 12 times per year compared to about 8 times per year for the sheriff.
But city police said the county's BearCat is not always available to the city on a moment's notice. It is housed in Camillus and Onondaga County also loans it to other counties.
The Syracuse Common Council in August 2013 approved the use of $123,000 in federal grants as the first fund-raising toward the purchase of a city-owned BearCat. But the city used that money for camera equipment and instead used seized drug money to order the new BearCat, police said.
Itbeen expanded to include all police activity with a preference on counter-drug and counter-terrorism, according to the Defense Logistics Agency, which runs the program.
The program has supplied cities, towns and counties and the state police with leftover war supplies from airplanes to reflective tape.
The federal government has given about $26.5 million in surplus military gear to 124 local agencies and the NYS police, according to records on file with the NYS Department of Criminal Justice Services, which serves as state coordinator.

Standard Life finance director to quit
The Scottish insurance giant, Standard Life, has begun the hunt for a finance director only 15 months after it appointed Marks & Spencer's former CFO, Alison Reed, to the post.
The revelation will be an embarrassment for the company's board, led by the chief executive Sandy Crombie, which is believed to now regret appointing Ms Reed, months after she was ousted from the then ailing retailer M&S.
It is thought Ms Reed's departure will be formally announced at the company's interim results next week, if not before. It is unclear whether she will stay on until a replacement is found. However, it is believed Mr Crombie is keen to find someone with a greater knowledge and understanding of the complex financial services industry.
Standard Life's formerfinance director, John Hylands, who was put in charge of overseeing the demutualisation after Ms Reed's arrival last year, is also expected to leave in the next few months. The chairman, Sir Brian Stewart, who chairs Scottish & Newcastle, plans to step down in 2007.
The board's reshuffle comes less than three months after its July flotation on the London market, which saw the company bring to an end more than 80 years as a mutual.
Although the demutualisation and IPO has been widely considered a success in the City, with the group's shares having risen more than 15 per cent since the listing, Mr Crombie is believed to be keen to put fresh talent on the board to take the business forward.
Once a new chairman is appointed, the search

Cummings helped kick off Capitol Hill's latest round of pharmaceutical bashing in the fall of 2014 with a flurry of letters to makers of prescription drugs that had seen dramatic price spikes. Since then, the AP counted 29 drugs that were specifically mentioned either in letters from lawmakers or during congressional hearings. The list prices of 22 of those drugs did not change at all. Five fell, and two went up. Those that fell were generic drugs that received little public attention.
Meanwhile, executives have found ways to defuse some of the public outrage without cutting prices. Under questioning from Cummings and other lawmakers in September, Mylan CEO Heather Bresch pointed to company coupons that can

I was not really a member of the Lansing staff; mine was a traveling job in which I would be sent to any office in Michigan or Indiana where help was needed; thus I was lowman on the totem-pole in almost any office.To my amazement no-one volunteered! The manager asked if I would be willing. Yes! I was given a pass to get into the ballroom. I ran out of the office, turned right, running past Lansing City Hall to Capital Avenue. And there he was, thronged by admirers, standing up in an open car. The car inched toward the hotel, now so close, just across the Michigan Avenue intersection.After I got a good close look at him, waving, touching hands reached up to him, frequently running his hand through his thick hair as if to arrange it against the breeze, I ran across to the hotel, showed my pass, and hurried up to the second floor ballroom.

Now in this island of Britain the men of ancient times built a long wall, cutting off a large part of it; and the climate and the soil and everything else is not alike on the two sides of it. For to the south of the wall there is a salubrious air, changing with the seasons, being moderately warm in summer and cool in winter. But on the north side everything is the reverse of this, so that it is actually impossible for a man to survive there even a half-hour, but countless snakes and serpents and every other kind of wild creature occupy this area as their own.

A peace built by nukes and cash
By Rajan Menon
Rajan Menon, professor of international relations at Lehigh University, is a fellow at the New American Foundation.
July 19, 2005
The bush foreign policy squad hasn't had much to cheer about lately. The Iraqi insurgency won't die. Iran is suspected of seeking nuclear weapons. North Korea already appears to have acquired a small stash. But as the president met with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Monday, the White House could take heart from what's happening in South Asia.
For starters, nuclear weapons have promoted peace in that volatile region, it turns out.
When India and Pakistan went nuclear in 1998, most people in the West believed that South Asia had become a more dangerous place. That was a gloomy assessment, considering that thesubcontinent had seen full-scale war between India and Pakistan, intermittent skirmishes and terrorist attacks.
But now South Asia is more stable than it was a decade ago, and the prospects for a settlement of the competing claims to Kashmir are better, arguably, than they have ever been.
What accounts for the turnaround?
As was true for the Soviet Union and the United States, nuclear weapons magnify the risk of conflict and thereby concentrate the minds of leaders. The danger that a crisis could escalate and bring nuclear weapons into play is not an academic abstraction, it's a reality. Which is why India and Pakistan have been building mutual trust since 1998. Occasionally, they've approached the line of conflict, but they have taken care not to cross it.

experience, above the fourteenth step, there is an additional one percent increase. This wage increase, and the previous increase for the year July 1, 1981June 30, 1982, were negotiated and agreed upon as part of the usual collective bargaining process. The terms of the agreement, which were negotiated in 1981 to cover the two years, are public knowledge and were known to the Mayor and the Common Council.
As the record demonstrates, the negotiated increases are not overly generous, and they are comparable to the wage increases received by City employees. Indeed, despite *476 the Mayor's contentions to the contrary, the record shows that disregarding automatic increments for increased qualifications or step increases, the yearly percentage raises for the Buffalo teachers have been smaller than those allocated to CityBPSS receives more federal aid than any other school district of comparable size in the country and that many of these funds are used for desegregation.

and get in it. The victim complied, fearing that Schneider would kill her if she resisted. Once she was in the bathtub, Schneider turned on a hair dryer and threatened that he was going to cause the victim to have a heart attack by putting the dryer in the tub with her. She begged him not to do so, but Schneider plunged the hair dryer into the water. The victim feared that she would die, but realized that Schneider had unplugged the hair dryer before he put it in the water. With the victim still in the bathtub, Schneider defecated in the toilet and then, using a spoon that he had gotten from the kitchen, forced the victim to eat his feces. He rubbed feces in her hairand on her shoulders and back, and then told her to take a shower.
Eventually, Schneider fell asleep, and the victim escaped from the house. She went to the home of neighbors, who took her to the sheriff's department to report the incident. After Schneider awoke, he left the house and met his nephew, who told him that the police were looking for him. Schneider returned to the victim's house, took some of her jewelry and then pawned it at a pawn shop for $275. Schneider fled the area on a boat that the victim had purchased, and several days later he was caught by the Coast Guard in Florida.

That waned as the temperance movement pushed for moderation, abstinence and, later, a national ban on the manufacture and sale of alcohol. In 1919, Congress passed the 18th Amendment, instituting the ban. It went into effect on January 17, 1920, and lasted 13 years.
In 1934, a year after Prohibition was repealed, per-capita consumption was under 1 gallon. It's been up and down since then. The apex was a heavy-drinking spell in the 1970s and 1980s, when U.S. per-person alcohol consumption was 2.75 gallons.
It went down in the mid-1980s, amid growing attention to deaths from drunken driving and after Congress passed a law raising the drinking age to 21. But it began climbing again in the mid-1990s.

Champions, we had the most surprising team of the season, SK Telecom T1 #2, led by long time #1 solo queue player Faker, going up against the team that barely squeaked into the playoffs, Najin Shield, who would have been knocked out of the tournament if ahq Korea had surrendered only seconds earlier in their final game against LG-IM. On paper, it was a mismatch, SKT only losing one real game in the regular season, not playing seriously in their final two games against MVP Ozone, using double jungle strategies and having a fun time to close out the group stages. In reality, the results were actually much worse than initially anticipated.
Game One
The pick/ban phase was nothing out of the ordinary. Mandu, gaining respect from everyone in Koreaafter putting on a terrifying performance on support Fiddlesticks to start the season against CJ Blaze, has had it continually banned against him. Taking away Shield's comfort picks, they were forced to step outside the box, Nofe going for Hecarim in the jungle and save - who had both his favorite champions, Kha'zix and Diana banned - go for Jayce in the mid lane.
Shield were able to pick up first blood on Lulu, but that was the happiest they would be in the game, everything going down the drain after a good start. Nofe, who is known for his aggressive ganking in the early levels, was a hindrance to his team, poorly engaging in fights and giving SKT early kills. This began a comedy of errors for Shield,

before the game even started in the pick/ban phase, this was the game they were primed to win. save was able to get one of his staples in Diana, and Nofe, after throwing the first game on Hecarim, was able to grab his trustworthy Jarvan IV. With their two weak links of the first game getting champions they are known to do well on, things couldn't go any worse for Shield in game two, right?
Then Faker happened. Playing on Jayce, Faker gave a display of how to destroy a team on Jayce before the twenty minute mark. Living up to his name as the MVP of the season so far, Faker went on a killing spree in the game, going for a fast Manamune, gaining an extreme powerjump in the middle of the game. Starting the game by out dueling save's Diana in the mid lane, Faker bullied everyone around the map, hitting insane shock blasts on unsuspecting Shield members. The play of the game came when Lulu, trying to recall back after getting away from a gank from SKT's bot lane and jungler, was hit by a blind shock blast from Faker, showing that his game sense is second to none currently in Korea.
The carnage continued from there, the bodies falling left and right for Shield. With his early kills and being to grab his early Manamune, Jayce became unstoppable, jumping into team fights and picking up countless kills. After three straight team fights, Faker walked out with a triple kill all three times,

be the final game of their season. Getting banned out again with his Diana and Kha'zix taken from him, save opted for Karthus. Taking Jayce away from Faker so they didn't all die again, Expession took him, leaving Faker to play Orianna for the second game in the series. The most important part of the picks and bans was the bottom lane for SKT, Mandu picking up Nunu for support and giving us flashbacks to season two.
Shield had the best game of the series in the third set, but they were simply outmatched. Faker, even without Jayce, was able to pick up kills on Orianna, being able to straight up kill Karthus one-on-one in lane. The bottom lane of SKT were able to take out turrets fast, pushingthe lane and forcing Shield into engagements. The game looked close in terms of kills, but SKT controlled the game throughout, grabbing their objectives and pushing down turrets, making Shield react to whatever they were doing.
The tipping point of the game came when Expession tried to bait Mandu and Piglet into a 3v2 situation against Nofe's Lee Sin and a Wolf's Lulu, but the Hundred Acre Woods bot lane were too good on the night, Piglet and Mandu in perfect synergy and killing all three of their pursuers without either dying. This began the slow, cruel death of Shield, having a great composition to poke and keep distance with Kog'maw and Jayce, but not being able to engage or win against a richer, stronger team.
Finally, after grabbing all

of the three games, making his tough job of handling Faker even harder. Expession, who has been called one of the best top laners in Korea, didn't have an awful night, but wasn't very good, either. The bottom lane of Shield, Locodoco and a Wolf, the part of their team that had the most criticism in the regular season, were the brightest spots for the team, able to make a few plays before Faker decided to end all their lives.
SKT looked strong, but there are still holes there that better teams can exploit. Their lane phase is right up there with KT Rolster B, but their team fighting is going need to improve if they want to become champions. Faker and impact were caught out in the secondgame, giving Shield a few kills they had no business getting, but they were already so far ahead that it didn't matter. In a game against KTB or one of the CJ squads, a late game team fight where Faker gets caught and burned down fast could be the difference between a championship and a silver medal.
While there are still things SKT need to do to become best in Korea, they are on their way. A team that was thrown together with solo queue heroes and cast offs of lesser Korean teams are walking down the royal road, hoping to become kings of Champions in their inaugural season.
Opening up the festivities for the knockout round of the Spring season of Champions, we had the most surprising team of

up 1-1.To be fair to Shield, they did have a few nicely positioned team fights by the end of the game, catching Faker too far in front and killing him before he could unleash any damage, but it was far too late. For every good team fight Shield had, SKT had three, forcing Shield to surrender for a second straight time at thirty minutes, pushing them to the brink of elimination. While the faces of SKT were lit up with laughter at the stomp they just produced, Shield looked stunned, not knowing what just hit them.Who else would it be? He was 50% of his team's damage output in the game, and he was apart of almost every kill in the game. His game sense was out ofopted for Karthus. Taking Jayce away from Faker so they didn't all die again, Expession took him, leaving Faker to play Orianna for the second game in the series.

Down 12k gold and having no hope left, the Shield team wasted away to the beefed up SKT team, giving them free reign over their Nexus and the ending of the game.Pulling a Faker, Piglet carried the game through the bottom lane. Shield tried to shut down the Caitlyn and Nunu combo, but Piglet's mechanics shined through, being able to evade numerous ganks and turn them around into kills of his own. Locodoco, who was probably the best player for Shield on the night, wasn't able to keep up with Piglet, losing against his opponent straight up in a one-on-one fight and summing up the night for Shield.

an incredible high level. His championpool is also way too big to ban him out. As it seems the KT Rolster management was able to create five other Starplayers who are on their way to dominate the League of Legends scene.

MVP had high hopes when they started into the Spring Season after the MVP Roster won OGN Club Masters. Sadly their brotherteam MVP Blue was not able to make it into the Bracket Stage. The starplayer on MVP Ozone is without a question Imp. If Imp get fed the game is already won for MVP Ozone since he is the best ADC in Korea and his mechanics are
But with him being the absolute starplayer on his team he is the only one capable of carrying his teamthe world of Starcraft where they were one of the best teams for a long time. They created a god who ruled the Brood War universe like nobody before. As a result, when KT debuted in League of Legends the players had a to live up to the name of KT. In their first season they owned the group stage and were only defeated by the eventual champion team, Najin Sword. In this season, KT B again looked strong in the group stage and advanced from their second place into the Quarterfinal.It is hard to pinpoint a weak player in the lineup of KT B. The addition of InSec as their newmakes KT B a lot more scarier; Insec is considered by many to be the best Jungler

The invention relates to concrete retaining wall blocks and to a form for manufacturing concrete retaining wall blocks.
Concrete blocks are sometimes used for constructing retaining walls. Generally rectangular blocks have been stacked to form a retaining wall and then back filled on one side to form a terrace. The backfill can exert a sufficient force on the retaining wall blocks to cause the stacked blocks to move out of their original position. In some cases, ground anchors or a geo grid system have been secured to the blocks to increase the stability of the wall. Retaining wall blocks have been stacked to form a stepped wall so that the front face of each row of blocks is offset slightly behind the front face of the adjacent lowerThe Truth About Jack is the latest from Jody Gehrman, author of the Audrey's Guide books.

is stenosis, the balloon is expanded and increased in diameter to support the inner surface of the blood vessel. Once expanded in diameter, the balloon expanding stent is fixed in this expanded state and cannot be deformed in keeping with the pulsations of the blood vessel wall. On the other hand, if the balloon expanding stent is deformed after being expanded in diameter and implanted in this condition in the blood vessel, it cannot be restored to its original expanded state, such that there is the risk that the stent cannot support the inner surface of the blood vessel reliably.
The self-expanding stent is housed in the diameter-contracted state in a holder, such as a tube, having an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the targeted sitefor implantation in the blood vessel, and is inserted in the targeted site for implantation in the blood vessel as it is housed in a holder. The stent, thus inserted in the targeted site for implantation in the blood vessel, is extruded or extracted from the holder so as to be expanded in diameter to the pre-contracted state, by exploiting the force of restoration proper to the stent, thus continuing to support the inner wall of the blood vessel.
As this sort of the self-expanding stent, there is proposed such a one obtained on warping a linear member of metal, such as stainless steel, into a sinusoidal or zig-zag design, to form a tube.
With the self-expanding stent formed from a metal linear member, the outer diameter prevailing at the

in diameter, so as to be inserted in this diameter-contracted state in the blood vessel. After insertion into the targeted loading site in the blood vessel, this stent is expanded to the size of the shape memory and subsequently exhibits super-elasticity under the body temperature of the living body to continue supporting the inner wall of the blood vessel.
Since the shape memory alloy has extremely high tenacity, such that it exerts an extremely large mechanical pressure to a portion of the inner wall of the blood vessel, thus possibly damaging the blood vessel. Moreover, there are occasions wherein the stent formed of a shape memory alloy is not uniformly expanded in diameter against the inner wall of the blood vessel when implanted in the blood vessel. If aportion of the stent compresses against the inner wall of the blood vessel prematurely to commence to be expanded in diameter, the blood vessel cannot be expanded uniformly. In this case, the portion of the blood vessel, against which a portion of the stent has compressed prematurely, is enlarged excessively in diameter, and hence is likely to be damaged.
The stent formed of metal such as shape memory alloy, once implanted in the vessel, such as blood vessel, is permanently left in the living body unless it is taken out by surgical operations.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a stent for a vessel, such as blood vessel, which is able to keep the vessel in the expanded state reliably without injuring the vessel.

present invention provides a stent for a vessel implanted in the vessel of the living body including a main body portion of the stent formed into a tube by a yarn, which is formed of a biodegradable polymer, exhibiting a shape memory function. The main body portion of the stent is shape-memorized to a size that can be retained in the vessel. The main body portion of the stent is implanted in the vessel of the living body as it is contracted in diameter by an external force, and is enlarged in diameter by being heated with the body temperature of the living body.
The yarn used is a concatenated continuous monofilament yarn or a multi-filament yarn made up of a plurality of monofilament yarns unified together.
The main bodyportion of the stent is formed by the yarn formed of a biodegradable polymer being wound to a tube as the yarn is bent in a zigzag design and is enlarged or contracted in diameter with the bends of the yarn as displacing portions.
In the main body portion of the stent, at least part of neighboring bends of the yarns wound to a tube as the yarns are bent in a zigzag design are connected to one another so that a pre-set tubular shape of the main body portion of the stent is positively maintained on contracting or enlarging its diameter.
The tubular main body portion of the stent is formed by arraying plural yarns each connected to form a ring as each yarn is bent in a zigzag

make sure everything is working smoothly and to bring the beans up to temp at a slower pace in the beginning. If there are some small or broken beens in the basket they may work themselves out during this phase and end up on the burner. I like to carefully remove the fallen beans as they'll start to burn and smoke which may add some extra smoke flavor to the coffee. After the initial warmup I close the lid of the grill, wait about 4 minutes and then open the grill, check for any loose beens and close it back up. I do this about every 4 minutes throughout the roasting. As the beans roast, they will expel it's outer skin, which is called, chaff. It's kind ofthe population in the long-term.

Current environmental degradation concerns include deforestation, soil erosion, desertification, air pollution in Beirut from vehicular traffic and the burning of industrial wastes, and pollution of coastal waters from raw sewage and oil spills.
Lebanon's rugged terrain historically helped isolate, protect, and develop numerous factional groups based on religion, clan, and ethnicity.
Air quality in Lebanon
As a result of increasingly hot summers and its location within the Mediterranean region, which is often cited for having long episodes of pollution, Lebanon, Beirut in particular, is at high risk for air pollution. Approximately 93 percent of Beirut's population is exposed to high levels of air pollution, which can most often be attributed to vehicle-induced emissions, whether it be long-range travel or short commuting traffic.

It looks to me like the revolution is alive and well, Paul said as he took the podium. And it's growing too!
Speaking in Nevada for the second time in two months, Paul spoke on the importance of a free-market economy, property rights, the government's invasion civil liberties, and freedom in general, Fox News reported.
If I am the president, all I want to do is release you from the burden of government, Paul said.
His speech came just 24 hours after his competition for the Republican nomination, Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, raised more than $10 million during a phone bank fundraiser at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Known not just as one of India's most respected journalists but also as an advocate for human rights, Nayar served as India's high commissioner to the United Kingdom in the 1990s and was nominated to the Rajya Sabha in 1997.
The journalist-author was arrested during the Emergency.
Condolences poured in as news of his death came in.
Describing Nayar as a veteran editor and writer, diplomat and parliamentarian, President Ram Nath Kovind said he was 'a determined champion of democracy during the Emergency' and would be missed by his readers.

is allowed to come to a halt immediately following the cutoff of fuel. Nevertheless, as fresh air still remains flowing into the combustion chamber, the pressure inside the combustion chamber rises as a piston moves up to top dead center. As a result, when the engine lowering rapidly in rpm comes in matching with the resonance point of the engine, the engine develops violent vibrations, thus providing an uncomfortable ride to the occupants.
In systems cutting off the intake air supply to the combustion chamber, since no fresh air is allowed to enter the combustion chamber, no pressure rise inside the combustion chamber comes into action, thus keeping the engine from becoming violent in vibration. However, the fuel remains injected into the combustion chamber even after the engine hasceased from working, rendering inferior the fuel consumption. In addition, this system has other drawbacks in which it takes a prolonged period of time till the engine stops absolutely, compared with the former system interrupting the flow of fuel and in which a partial vacuum developed in the combustion chamber causes much oil loss into the combustion chamber from the crank case via piston rings, thereby making the combustion chamber so rich in fuel that much smoke is liable to take place in the exhaust emissions from the next combustion cycle. This system, moreover, has a fear of involving the engine in a possible risk in which even if the device to cut off the intake air had trouble, either of fuel and air would remain charged into

the combustion chamber, resulting in failure of stopping the engine.
Disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 33419/1987 is a system interrupting either fuel and intake air into the combustion chamber in order to avoid a sudden stop of the engine. In accordance with the disclosed prior engine control system, an intake shut-off valve is first closed prior to bringing the engine to a halt to slow the engine rpm down. Then, a delay circuit such as a relay shuts down the fuel supply to the engine, thereby suppressing the vibrations, which might otherwise happen on stopping the engine.
In the conventional system for stopping the engine disclosed just above, the sudden closure manipulation of the intake shutdown valve results in the abrupt reduction of the engine rpm, thereby still developinga vibratory shock in the engine to possibly provide an uncomfortable ride to the drivers.
In accordance with another prior system for stopping the engine disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 41624/1989, operating the switch to bring the engine to a halt results in interrupting the fuel supply to the combustion chamber. Then, an intake cut-off valve installed in an intake manifold allowing air supply to the combustion chamber is closed in response to a detected condition where the engine rpm has approached a resonance range, thereby providing a high resistance against the reciprocating motion of the piston in the combustion chamber to lower rapidly the engine rpm.
Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 47382/1993 discloses a system to stop the diesel engine, in which the delay control is operated not

Neonatal behaviour in a group of infants whose mothers received pethidine during labour was assessed at delivery and during the first six weeks of life by means of the Brazelton Neonatal Behavioural Assessment Scale. The influence of the total maternal dose of pethidine and umbilical cord blood concentration of the drug on such behaviour has been examined with the confounding effects of all other variables controlled. Higher cord blood levels of pethidine were associated with babies who were more prone to respiratory difficulties, drowsy and unresponsive immediately after delivery. Throughout the six weeks in which the assessments were made, depressed attention and social responsiveness were found in infants with high drug levels. At three and six weeks, the infant

Draft week!
As happens each year, there are talented national players flirting with the chance to make an NFL roster by starting from the bottom as an undrafted free agent or rookie mini-camp signing.
The question becomes how serious is the interest from both the player and the teams willing to give players divided by drafts on both sides of the border?
Depending on the level of interest and perceived ability of a national player to challenge for an NFL roster or practice squad position, they can be deemed a larger risk to being drafted as the drafting team might never get a chance to work with the player.

at Park Town as a wife and mother, the years I spent under house arrest when my university, the University of Oxford, stood up and spoke up for me.
KUHN: Suu Kyi studied at Oxford's St. Hugh's College from 1964 to 1967. Peter Carey, a family friend from those days, says that Suu Kyi started out with a solid understanding of Burmese traditions, to which she added an Oxonian toolkit of intellectual and analytical skills.
PETER CAREY: There's a particular Oxford value system. There's a particular way of looking at the world and she brought that way of looking at the world. She brought that quality of intellectual honesty and clarity of mind into Burmese politics and I think that's what made her so refreshing.
KUHN: In the 1970s, Suu Kyimarried British academic Michael Aris and settled down to raise their two sons in a townhouse in North Oxford's Park Town neighborhood. Peter Carey says that Suu Kyi knew she was not just the daughter of Burmese independence hero General Aung San, but also the daughter of destiny.
She told her husband that her duty to her country might someday separate them, which it did when she returned to Burma in 1988. As he was dying of cancer in 1999, Suu Kyi did not leave the country to see him or her two sons for fear that she might not be allowed back in.

Petraeus sex'n'menaces webmail trail leads to NATO A'stan general
Spook, soldier, G-man embroiled with adulterous minx duo
Common Topics
The top US Army commander in Afghanistan has been dragged into an investigation that led to the resignation of former CIA Director David Petraeus over an extramarital affair.
General John Allen faces allegations of allegedly inappropriate communication with Jill Kelley, a central figure in the unfolding scandal.
Kelley is a friend of the Petraeus family from Tampa, Florida, who serves as volunteer social liaison with military families at MacDill Air Force Base. Kelley's complaint about email harassment prompted an investigation that led to Paula Broadwell, Petraeus' biographer and secret lover.
Email records unearthed during the investigation exposed the affair and led to Petraeus' resignation as America's top spook on Friday.
The same investigation uncovered between 20,000and 30,000 pages of communications - mostly emails sent between 2010 to 2012 - between Allen and Kelley, AP reports. The news agency cites an unnamed US official as a source of the shock revelation. The official declined to detail the nature of the allegedly inappropriate exchanges. The possibility that these exchange might, at least in part, have involved secrets therefore remains open.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and President Obama have agreed to delay Allen's nomination to be Commander of U.S. European Command and Supreme Allied Commander Europe. He was due to face Senate confirmation hearings on Thursday. Plans to appoint General Joseph Dunford as Allen's successor in Afghanistan have also been put on hold.

one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolicrace. By placing the pressure squarely on Arsenal, Manchester City and other title aspirants, he took pressure off himself while putting his team in place for a good run.
Now Mourinho has positioned himself as the savior for the Blues. Should Chelsea win the title, it was down to his management skill, taking a squad of inferior players and overtaking the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Manchester City. This way the manager insulates himself from criticism if things go horribly wrong, and can go to Roman Abramovich this summer and ask for money for a squad overhaul.
While Mourinho has positioned himself in the media, he has brilliantly motivated his squad to play more disciplined and organized football. Chelsea has responded with a great run of results during the

Thus, it requires a considerable number of revolutions of the drill string to thread the anchor cage ratchetable teeth off the fixed mandrel teeth and, if the drill string should for any reason slip downwardly during the rotation, the ratchetable teeth simply slip over or ratchet across the fixed teeth on the mandrel and the process has to be started again.
The present invention overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art by limiting the teeth on the mandrel to an arcuate width of approximately 60.degree. on opposing sides of the mandrel circumference. In like manner, the ratchetable teeth on the anchor cage also have an arcuate width of approximately 60.degree.. The two sets of teeth operate in the normal fashion to latch so that the ratchetable teeth slide overside of the J-slot. The bottom end of the J-slot is coupled to the lower portion of the J-slot by a second sloping shoulder substantially parallel to the first sloping shoulder. The ratchetable arcuate segments of teeth on the anchor cage are mounted on opposed sides of the anchor cage above and arcuately spaced from the gudgeon pins such that when the gudgeon pins are in the bottom end of the J-slot, the anchor cage arcuate segments of teeth are received by the vertical J-slot in the area adjacent the first sloping shoulder. When the mandrel is rotated to move the gudgeon pins from the bottom end of the J-slot to and in alignment with the lower vertical portion of the J-slot, the gudgeon pins move up the

The gudgeon pin moves up into the widest upper portion of the J-slot as the mandrel is lowered and the segments of teeth on the anchor cage engage the teeth segments on the mandrel. The gudgeon pin is then in a position such that when the mandrel isattach the packer to the mandrel. However, the mandrel is allowed to be disengaged from the packer simply by rotating the drill string and mandrel one-quarter turn to release the ratchetable segment of teeth from the fixed section.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a novel J-slot on diametrically opposed sides of the mandrel to receive a gudgeon pin on the anchor cage to move the anchor cage rotatably to align the ratchetable teeth on the anchor cage with the fixed sections of teeth on the mandrel and to receive the gudgeon pin when the drill string has been rotated a one-quarter turn to disengage the mandrel from the anchor cage and allow the gudgeon pin to be guided back into the J-slot so

In 1812, a very young United States of America had its sights set on expansion to the north and the west. But the British wanted to keep its former colony tightly contained. In the balance were the lands of the Northwestern Frontier.
England'sCanadian provinces wanted a buffer zone betweentheir lands and what they perceived as a hostile United States. The native peoples who called this land their home, wanted it declared a self-governing Indian territory; an independent nation. The United States wanted to settle the frontier, as they felt they had been promised at the end of the Revolutionary War.
The frontier was a gateway to further western expansion; a Great Lakes highway to natural resources; and a military challenge to the combatants.
The War of 1812 would decide who controlled the lands of the Northwestern Frontier, and the future of a continent.

to the minor, Duane Keith, as passengers in said automobile, in failing to give warning to the driver of the stop sign on Midway at the intersection with Linwood, in failing to protest the entrance into said street without stopping, or, if the vehicle stopped, then in failing to protest the driver's entrance into the intersection when the Holt Chevrolet was too near to permit said entry to be made in safety.
From these charges, one of the questions to be resolved is whether the Keith automobile pre-empted the intersection. There is a conflict of testimony as to whether the Keith car stopped at the intersection. Duane Keith testified that his father stopped and looked to his left from which traffic would be approaching, if any, on the sidefrom which he was to enter Linwood Avenue. No traffic was approaching from that direction. The son was unable to testify that his father looked to his right.
Holt's testimony was to the effect that Keith only slowed down and then proceeded out into the street. The testimony of the occupants of his car shows they were not paying too close attention to traffic conditions or the driving of the automobile in which they were riding. Their testimony as to whether Keith stopped is vague and inconclusive. At any rate, whether the Keith car stopped or, without stopping, proceeded across Linwood Avenue, it was concededly going at a moderately slow rate of speed.
The intersection was in a depression on Linwood Avenue, from which, to the south, there was an

incline of two percent grade and to the north an incline of four percent grade. There was a distance of approximately 300 feet from the intersection to the top of the hill to the south.
The preponderance of the evidence is that Holt was traveling much in excess of 35 miles per hour, the speed limit provided by ordinance in the City of Shreveport. Holt testified that he was going between 35 and 40 miles per hour but that he had no idea how fast the other car was traveling. Captain F. G. Porta of the Shreveport Police Department, who witnessed the accident from his residence about a block south of Midway Street, estimated Holt's speed at 60 miles an hour. Porta was off duty and while closing histhe top of the hill, from where he would have it believed he saw the Keith car. The Keith car would then have had sufficient time and opportunity to enter and complete the intersection before the same would have been entered by Holt. No other logical conclusion can be reached from the facts established by the record but that Holt only saw the Keith car well out into the intersection momentarily preceding the application of his brakes. To that point of time and location his speed had not been diminished. This indicates that Holt was not keeping a proper lookout, otherwise he would have seen the Keith car sooner than he did.
