Bone fragment 'could be King Alfred or son Edward'
The fragment of pelvis dates back to the period in history when King Alfred died
A fragment of pelvis bone unearthed in Winchester in 1999 may belong to King Alfred the Great or his son Edward the Elder, academics have said.
It was found at a previous dig at Hyde Abbey and has been dated to 895-1017 -the era the king died.
Experts were originally testing remains exhumed last year from an unmarked grave at St Bartholomew's Church, where it was thought he was buried.
But they were found to be from the 1300s, not 899, when the king died.
The fragment of pelvis had been among remains stored in two boxes at Winchester's City Museum and was tested by academics at Winchester University after their study into the exhumed remains proved fruitless.
The university and the community group behind the search, Hyde900, are now calling for further excavations at Hyde Abbey Gardens in the hunt for more remains.
'Hard to prove'
Experts said the bone, recovered from the site of the abbey, came from a man who was aged between 26 and 45-plus at the time of his death, leading

Many criminal abortion deaths leave behind the mystery: Who was the perpetrator? On January 25, 1915, Dr. E. M. Ullrich of Brooklyn, was called in to attend to 20-year-old Margaret Bereis of Ridgewood, New York. He found her with a high fever. The next day he consulted with Dr. Jensen concerning Margaret's high fever. They concurred that she was suffering from septicemia. Ullrich continued to care for her until her death on January 31, filling out her death certificate attributing her death to peritonitis and blood poisoning brought on by an abortion.
We can speculate about whether Margaret would have found a more skilled practitioner had abortion been legal, but in any event, infection is a known abortion complication. It is also a complication that wasextremely difficult to treat in 1915, with the development of penicillin more than a decade in the future and widespread use of antibiotics still two world wars away.After legalization, according to theory, unskilled or careless abortion practitioners would be replaced by reputable doctors, and women would no longer needlessly die. However, even before the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision struck down all US abortion laws in 1973, women were already starting to die needlessly from the purportedly safe legal abortions.Fifteen-year-old Gwendolyn Drummer was a student at Harry Ellis High in Richmond, California, when she was admitted to Doctor's Hospital of Pinole for a safe and legal abortion, to be performed January 28, 1972. Her doctor chose the saline abortion method. These abortions are performed by replacing amniotic

28, 1911, 18-year-old homemaker Lillie Hirst died in Chicago from septicemia caused by an abortion that had been perpetrated less than a week prior. Dr. Aldrich and Mrs. Treshelling were held by the Coroner's Jury and indicted, but the case never went to trial.On January 28, 1912, 28-year-old homemaker Mary Balogh, an immigrant from Hungary, died at the practice of midwife Anna Klickner from an abortion perpetrated the previous day. Klickner was arrested at the scene but escaped. She was captured on November 26 and indicted on December 15. The case never went to trial for reasons I have been unable to determine.Mid 20th Century ChicagoThere are fewer readily available records for Chicago abortion deaths in the middle of the 20th century. Odds are that practice in Chicagowould be at least similar to the nationwide pattern of the vast majority of illegal abortions being perpetrated by physicians.Lavern Perez, age 22, died at her home in Chicago on January 28, 1943. Dr. Henry Gross, age 58, was found guilty of manslaughter by abortion. The prosecution presented Gross as having a dual personality. Gross had a respectable medical practice. However, after a Dr. Ira Willits died, Gross set up shop in Willits's old office as an abortionist under Willit's name. It was at this office, Lavern's mother-in-law, Olga Perez, testified, that Lavern's fatal abortion was perpetrated. Mrs. Perez said that Lavern had paid an office attendant $60 for the abortion. The day after Lavern died, Mrs. Perez said, Dr. Gross appeared at her home with a gun,

which he used to threaten both her and her son. They wrestled the gun away from him, whereupon he begged for the weapon back so he could kill himself. Gross had insisted that he'd only been treating Lavern for a cold. However, he was also investigated for the February 20, 1943 abortion death of Dorothy Webber, age 20.Pittsburgh, PA, Early 20th CenturyMy primary information about abortion deaths for this time and place are through coroner records. Interestingly, the Pittsburgh area's abortion culture seemed to lean toward self-induced abortions despite the presence of physician-abortionists.
On January 28, 1918, 27-year-old Annabella Lewis, a homemaker, died in at West Penn Hospital in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. The autopsy concluded that she had performed a self-induced abortion using slippery elm bark. She had toldher husband, Albert, about the abortion, but had denied even being ill to anybody else until her admission to the hospitalPossible Lay Abortionist, Virginia, 1947Though the overwhelming majority of illegal abortions were done by doctors, and a large percent of the rest done by people with either formal or informal medical training, there were a small number of lay abortionists. This case, I believe, is an example, since the guilty party's profession is never mentioned in any documents I've found about the case.Sometime in early January, 1947, Iva Rodeffer Davis Coffman performed an abortion on Kerneda Bennett, resulting in her death on January 28. Kerneda, though living with her husband in Harrisonburg, Virginia, was pregnant as a result of an extramarital affair. She asked her friend, Irene Davis,

put on life support. On January 28, 1974, after twelve days on life support, Evangeline was pronounced dead. She left behind five children.Evangeline's death, in addition to being a tragedy for her family and loved ones, also highlights the disproportionate damage that legal abortion causes among Blacks in the United States. Though black women are only 13% of the female population in the US, and though they are more likely than white women to oppose abortion, they account for a full 35% of legal abortions reported. Black women, like Evangeline, also account for fully 50% of reported legal abortion deaths.
Belinda was one of 74 women who had abortions in Inglewood's single operating room that day, and one of 24 whose abortions were performed in the final two hourshappened, that nothing ever happens to white abortionists who leave young black women dead. I'm hurting real bad and want some justice for Belinda and all other women who go like sheep to slaughter.
In the wake of the series of abortion deaths at Inglewood, the authorities inspected the place. Among other things, they caught an abortionist writing post-operative examination notes without even examining the patients. When the state closed Inglewood for numerous violations, the facility simply re-opened as Inglewood Women's Clinic; as a clinic rather than a hospital they were no longer subject to the same intense scrutiny and were able to remain in business.

an abortion perpetrated on January 9. Orbach was held by the Coroner on January 24. The case went to trial but Orbach was acquitted on November 25 for reasons I have been unable to determine. Another case played out similarly the following year. On January 23, 1914, 17-year-old Helen Kleich, who worked as a domestic servant, died at Cook County Hospital from sepsis, arising from an abortion perpetrated on January 17 and attributed to midwife Margared Wiedemann. Wiedemann was held by the Coroner for murder by abortion, but was acquitted, again, for reasons I've been unable to determine.Blame is a bit fuzzier regarding a death on January 23, 1925. Thirty-four-year-old Kate Radochouski died at Chicago's Lakeside Hospital from complications of an abortion performed that day. The Homicide inChicago database says that she died at the scene of the crime, which is likely to be an error, and that there was an arrest on February 11. However, there is no name given for the person arrested. I have been unable to identify the perpetrator.
Geraldine Schuyler
A clear perpetrator was found in the January 23, 1944 death of 20-year-old Geraldine Schuyler. Geraldine was working as a secretary at Matthewson Electric Company in Chicago when she learned that she was pregnant in January of 1944. She turned to her mother, Leah Schuyler, who went with her on Monday, January 17 to meet Mrs. Avis Konradt at the corner of 41st Street and Drexel Boulevard. Konradt took them to the home of George E. Fosberg, a physician whose license had

was identified as a physician in that case. According to Leslie Reagan, author of When Abortion Was a Crime, it was common for female physicians to be misidentified as midwives. Therefore I am going to assume that Bechtel was indeed a doctor. Bechtel went on to kill Mary Thorning in 1911.
In June of 1967, then-Governor Ronald Reagan signed a bill legalizing abortion in California. The earlier law, passed in 1861, had allowed abortion only if intended to save the mother's life. The 1967 law allowed abortions in case of the mother's physical or mental health or for young teens pregnant through rape or incest. The mental health provision essentially allowed abortion on demand, since the woman could simply assert that she would kill herself were she not permittedthe abortion. Abortions had to be performed by qualified physicians in an accredited hospital and could only be performed up to 20 weeks. The bill also allowed the establishment of dedicated abortion hospitals.
One of the purported beneficiaries of the new law was 26-year-old Kathryn Strong. On January 21, 1972, she went to Civic Center Hospital in Oakland, California for a legal abortion that was to be performed by Dr. Harold Van Maren. I have not been able to determine the grounds for Kathryn's abortion. During the procedure, her uterus was perforated. According to her medical records, she suffered extensive hemorrhage and shock. She died the following day, leaving behind a three-year-old son. It's difficult to judge if Kathryn's death was due to malpractice, since perforation was a known

It was reported earlier that Russian law enforcement officers apprehended Shukurzhiev at the Kalanchak checkpoint on February 5, 2016. On November 24, 2015, Shukurzhiev had to spend 7 hours at the border checkpoint for no reason before being let into Crimea.astute speculators and obstinate survivors of the capitalist classes will always manage to evade them and continue to corrupt the life of the community. The simplest way to exterminate the very spirit of capitalism is therefore to flood the country with notes of a high face-value without financial guarantees of any sort. Already even a hundred-ruble note is almost valueless in Russia. Soon even the simplest peasant will realize that it is only a scrap of paper, not worth more than the rags from which it is manufactured. Men will cease to covet and hoard it so soon as they discover it will not buy anything, and the great illusion of the value and power of money, on which the capitalist state is based will have been definitely

Documentary following the progress of artistic director Ake Larson and architect Arne Bergh as they embark on a six-week project to build Icehotel, a sophisticated structure constructed in the Swedish village of Jukkasjarvi - more than 120 miles inside the Arctic Circle. The venue has been built from snow and ice every year since 1990, when an edifice housing an exhibition of ice sculptures became a temporary hostel for visiting art enthusiasts. However, an unseasonable heatwave in the middle of the build leaves the team struggling to complete the construction in time to accommodate paying guestsThe month-long limited-overs campaign that Australia undertakes in India from next week is likely to be among the last of its ilk if ambitions for a global ODI league table, already in advanced planning, are brought to fruition.
The reigning World Cup champions arrive in India this weekend to begin a series of five ODIs and three T20 Internationals against India, a schedule that will be largely replicated in the UK next June when Australia tackles England in five ODIs and a 20-over fixture.
QUICK SINGLE India-Australia series last with current laws
And in keeping with decades past, whereby ODIs have become a staple of Australia's international cricket calendar in the post-Test matches January holiday period, the Ashes rivals will square off in five 50-over fixtures from January 14 next year.

Image caption Ms Berenson's affiliation with the MRTA has been disputed by her parents
Lori Berenson, an American citizen who has served 15 years in a Peruvian prison for aiding leftist rebels, has been freed on parole.
Ms Berenson, 40, was arrested in 1995 for her alleged role in a plot to attack the Peruvian Congress.
A military court found her guilty of collaborating with the left-wing Tupac Amaru rebel group and sentenced her to life imprisonment, later reduced to 20 years in prison.
She has always denied the charges.
The judge ordered her to stay in Peru for five years in order to serve out the remaining years of her sentence on conditional release.
The daughter of university professors, Ms Berenson broke off her studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Bostonto travel to Central and South America.
'Kidnap plot'
During her travels, she is believed to have made contact with the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement, or MRTA, a Marxist rebel group active in Peru in the 1980s and 1990s.
Tupac Amaru guerrillas became notorious for taking more than 70 people hostage in the Japanese ambassador's residence in Lima in 1996 and holding them for 126 days.
Ms Berenson was arrested after she gained access to the Peruvian Congress on false journalist credentials alongside the wife of MRTA leader Nestor Cerpa.

Stars Trade Roman to Florida for Esposito
The Florida Panthers and Dallas Stars traded minor league forwards this evening during the Texas Stars game in Grand Rapids. Ondrej Roman is on his way to the Florida system, where he will likely play with the San Antonio Rampage. Texas will receive Angelo Esposito, former first round pick of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Esposito has played in Chicago and San Antonio in the AHL. Esposito's most notable career achievement is likely scoring the game-winning goal at the 2009 World Junior Championships to secure the gold medal for Team Canada.
For both players it seems like a trade where the teams are hoping that a change of scenery would improve their performance. Both have dipped down into the ECHL this season

family doctors who knew your three generations who patiently explained things, and it did make accepting the inevitable a bit easier.
I have seen my grandmother in her last days. She was in pain, but coherent in mind, and communicative. Perhaps having a lot of people around keeps you from noticing little things.
My father lived well into his late eighties, and survived my mother by six years. Hers was a completely unexpected instant passing away, and we took a long time coming to terms with it.
As an extremely fit person, who confounded his doctors by his recovery from a very bad herniated disc solely by exercise, as a lifelong practitioner of yoga, meditation, naturopathy and ayurveda, and a published writer in Marathi , on subjects like popular science, theUS, and health issues, it was perhaps traumatic and confusing for him to realize that age was catching up, that too at 87.
First it was a fall, then a aortic aneurysm diagnosis , and BP medication. He more or less rubbished all of it, continued his physical activities. His doctor alerted us to the aneurysm size, and the need for someone to be with him at all times. I was his only child resident in the country, his sole caretaker, and
since he refused , in fine stubborn parental tradition, to come stay
with me in Mumbai, I did the frequent commuting from Mumbai , trying to juggle a job, children's board exams, and all kinds of stuff.

basis , I was surprised to see him one day, surrounded by his books, papers and references, and staring at the opposite walls, not writing anything. When I asked him, he kind of waved me away saying nothing, but this was a beginning of something.
He never wrote after that. He would forget many things. He would get angry with himself and shout at whoever was around. In a house where there were more cupboards with books and papers than anything else, he started to sift through things, shredding things he thought shouldn't be there. For many months after that, while his writing completely stopped, he would sit with a pair of large scissors, cutting up what he thought was junk ; this often included, old articles, letters, photographs,newspaper cuttings , bills, sometimes entire magazines , and old notes belonging to the rest of the family.
Sometime that year, my son who was leaving to go abroad for his doctorate went to visit his grandfather and spend some time with him. My father was very pleased, there was a slight lull in the cutting, and when my son left , my father gave him a file meant for me. He said it was my childhood stuff, poems and stuff i published as a child, all carefully preserved by my parents.
The file remained in my cupboards as I rushed back to be with my father , who shortly after that, became bedridden . His mind further upset and traumatized by that, he became delusional and would say he

had just returned from a 5 mile walk, he would forget he had had lunch, and fire me for not getting his lunch; he kind of slipped in and out of real time, and slowly stopped recognizing anyone, except me and the house faithful who had always been with us.
It was interesting to see that while his mind was in a tumult most of the time, sometimes with uncontrolled unconnected talk, there was a small part of his mind, or , supermind, as I used to call it, that was aware of what was happening to him. There were some people he couldn't recognize; there were other family members he did not recognize, but his supermind made him aware of that, and he would smile and fake ageneric welcome to them , making them thing he recognized them. The same supermind , must have alerted him to the existence of my file in the midst of all that cutting up of paper.
The slow descent into blankness and energy deficit continued, and a few months later , on a rainy November night , shortly after his daughter had fed him some light soup, he kind of lay back, rested , and quietly , passed away , with only his daughter sitting by his side. But not before , he struggled to emerge out of the mental chaos , to hold his hand out to her, and touch her face and head in a final blessing. Somewhere , the supermind , showed up when he needed it.

Punches were thrown during the clash in the early hours of this morning after England fans had left a nearby pub

Hundreds of England fans are staying in Lille ahead of the crucial qualifying match in Lens against Wales on Thursday.
Russia play Slovakia in Lille today, only 29 miles from Lens.
The brief outbreak of violence flared in Lille's Grand Place after midnight when bars stopped serving alcohol.
Many of the fans had been drinking solidly for over six hours.
One England fan - wearing a white T-shirt - was separated from his group and he was kickedand punched repeatedly by the violent Russian group.
Following the fight Russian supporters mocked the English fans for 'running away' and celebrated their 'victory' despite being 'only five against 20'.
Two Russian supporters have been held following the scuffle in Lille's Grand Place.
Four other Russian hooligans were arrested in Lille after being found with an arsenal of weapons.
Earlier in the day, a handful of Russian fans had tried to goad English fans gathered outside a bar near the main railway station.
In return, one England fan stamped on a Russian flag, while another pretended to wipe his bottom with the flag.
As riot police watched from a distance, four to five Russians approached the chanting England mob, who were running through their repertoire of chants from 'F*** the IRA' to 'I'm England

One England supporter - wearing a Rooney shirt - was seen being marched away in handcuffs by police.
The FA has expressed serious concern about security in Lille and the potential for clashes between rival fans.
Michele Lalande, prefect of the northern region, announced there would be a drinking ban in parts of Lille and around the stadium.
He also said no beer would be sold in bottles and warned those arrested for violence would be deported.
A Russian fan could be seen hurling a chair towards a group of England fans drinking at Le Palais de la Biere bar
Violent scenes unfolded as the Russians moved in and attacked the English fans outside the bar

The attacks came despite Russia being threatened with expulsion from the tournament if violence continued in the stadiums and they were fined 150,000 Euros.
Russia's Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko described the punishment as 'excessive' while the team's striker Artem Dzyuba downplayed the role of the Russians saying England fans were 'no angels'.
In another development, armed French police circled a coach of 50 Russian supporters - including Alexander Shprygin, notorious far-right head of the Russian supporters union - who were making their way to Lille and said it would deport them - only for their thuggish fans to boast they had targeted the wrong group.
Gloating Russian Ultras claimed they had swooped on the wrong coach and vowed to 'smash' Lille and Toulouse, where they play Wales on June 20.

A group of Russians appeared to provoke English fans who were in a bar near the northern city's central train station, witnesses said
The bus carrying Russian fans was stopped after raids on addresses in Marseille and Cannes, it is claimed.
Six were placed in a holding centre ahead of being deported while another 35 were refusing to get out of their bus, French authorities said.
Far right leader Shprygin later tweeted saying he had left the bus and was in a police building.
He had been identified by Fare Network, the organisation that monitors racism in stadiums, as a leading figure in introducing neo-Nazi views and practices to the Russian football scene since the late 1990s.

On Sunday night Shprygin claimed in a tweet that the Russian supporters union's hotel had been raided and that 40 armed French police had stormed their rooms, taken their passport details and photographed everyone.
Shprygin has been travelling with the official Russian FA delegation at Euro 2016 but is considered by the Fare network to be a main player in Russia's network of extreme-right ultra fan groups, the Guardian reported.
Since developing the Russian Supporters Union in 2007, Shprygin had appeared to tone down his rhetoric.
Police stopped a bus carrying Russian fans who they believe were involved in the attacks on English fans
But he provoked outrage recently when he said he wanted to 'see only Slavic faces within the Russian national team' and how there was 'something wrong' witha team photo published by French player Mathieu Valbuena as it contained 'very many' black faces.
He has also been photographed giving a Nazi salute with a singer from Russian far-right rock band, Korrozia Metalla.
The beginning of the tournament has been marred by violence with English and Russian supporters clashing for three days in Marseille as hooliganism reared its ugly head.
There were clashes before the match as several hundred English and Russian fans squared off in the Old Port district, hurling beer bottles and chairs and drawing volleys of tear gas from riot police.
Then, inside the Stade Vélodrome Balaclava-clad Russian thugs - wearing gum shields and brandishing truncheons charged at the English fans at the final whistle - as well as firing a flare gun into a section of

Eric Bailly came off after suffering a knock on his Manchester United comeback with the Under-23s on Monday night.
The 22-year-old, who returned from Africa Cup of Nations duty with the Ivory Coast last week, came off in the 58th minute for Tyrell Warren.
Bailly briefly consulted a coaching staff member on the touchline before he was withdrawn as a precaution and replaced by the teenage Warren.
Encouragingly, Bailly sat on the bench and had strapping applied to his foot instead of heading straight down the tunnel for further treatment.
The only senior squad member Jose Mourinho has allowed to play U23 football this seasonwas third-choice goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, however it is possible Bailly was drafted into the second-string due to Regan Poole's suspension.
United U23s, currently coached on an interim basis by Nicky Butt, have a squad of just 13 following Sean Goss' permanent move to Queens Park Rangers last week. Dean Henderson and Joe Riley are out on loan and Canadian forward Josh Doughty is thought to have recently left the club.
Bailly played in all three of the Ivory Coast's AFCON group games as they were eliminated at the first hurdle in Gabon earlier this month.
The centre-back missed six games through his international commitments and his absence allowed rookie Axel Tuanzebe to make his belated debut against Wigan in the FA Cup on Sunday.

and other critics say the Bush administration has
granted unprecedented access to leaders of the energy industry. They note
that both President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney made their fortunes
in oil and that the president's national energy strategy, unveiled last week,
relied heavily on exploiting new resources rather than conservation or fuel
efficiency.
But in a recent interview, Mr. Cheney said the White House was motivated by
''sound public policy'' and not what the energy companies sought.
The Senate today confirmed Mr. Bush's nominees for two Republican vacancies
on the five-member panel. They are Patrick Wood, a former head of the Texas
Public Utilities Commission, which deregulated electricity in the president's
home state, and Nora Brownwell, a Pennsylvania utility regulator.
Mr. Cheney has indicated that Mr.in Beverly Hills on Thursday.
Among the participants were Milken, the former head of the Drexel Burnham
Lambert investment banking firm who pleaded guilty to fraud charges in 1990
and who now runs a think tank based in Santa Monica; movie star
Schwarzenegger; and Riordan, the mayor of Los Angeles. Schwarzenegger and
Riordan have been courted recently as GOP gubernatorial candidates.
One participant, who agreed to speak on the condition he not be identified,
said the meeting appeared to be geared toward getting participants to support
Lay's vision and then champion it to officials who are trying to solve the
state's energy mess.
PLAN TO RESCUE DEREGULATION
The source said the timing and tone of the meeting suggested Lay is concerned
that California will abandon its disastrous experiment

the utility came nearly a week after Dabhol escalated the dispute
to a new level by serving its own termination notice on the utility for
nonpayment. Under the contract's terms, Dabhol's notice set the clock ticking
on a six-month cooling-off period in which the two sides might settle the
dispute before the contract is ended.
The Indian federal government, which is represented on the negotiating
committee along with the utility and the state government, has been pressing
for a quick resolution. ''The government is ready to consider any worthwhile
idea emerging out of the renegotiating committee for the settlement of the
dispute,'' the energy minister, Suresh Prabhu, said on Thursday.
Where the talks are headed is hard to tell, but both sides have much to lose
from anirreparable rupture. The success of the $2.9 billion Dabhol project,
65 percent owned by Enron, is seen as crucial to the development of India's
investment-starved power industry, and to India's hopes of attracting $10
billion in foreign investment in the coming year. Both the federal and state
governments have guaranteed the utility's payments of its bills, as well as
some of the loans to build the project.
For Enron's part, Dabhol has not brought in any revenue for months, and a
drawn-out legal battle in the Indian courts could leave it unable to recover
any of its losses if unsuccessful.
Talks are now scheduled to begin Tuesday.

what we believed and what we've been saying, that the
Bush-Cheney energy plan is written by corporations and it's in the interests
of the corporations,' said Kevin Curtis, vice-president for government
affairs of the National Environmental Trust, a Washington pressure group.
Enron, a Dollars 100 billion behem oth in the energy trading market, was a
significant backer of Mr Bush in last year's election. It contributed Dollars
1.7m to Republican candidates, 72% of its total campaign spending.
It is a strong supporter of deregulation in the electric power market, in
particular the opening up of state markets to outside suppliers.
At the time of the phone call from Mr Lay, Mr Hebert had launched an
investigation of the pricing policies of big electricity traders, such as
Enron.
'Oneof our problems is that we do not have the expertise to truly unravel
the complex arbitrage activities of a company like Enron,' he told the New
York Times, adding: 'We're trying to do it now and we may have some results
soon.'
Mr Ferguson confirmed yesterday that the investigation would continue.
The large-scale deregulation of regional electricity markets since 1996 has
failed to reduce prices in many states, and since the chaos and power
shortages produced by the botched deregulation in California, the pace of
market reform has slowed down, much to the frustration of Enron.
In their telephone conversation, a few weeks after Mr Hebert's appointment,
he said Mr Lay told him that 'he and Enron would like to support me as
chairman, but we would

have to agree on principles'.
Those principles would involve the pace and nature of deregulation.
Mr Lay said that there was 'never any intent' to link Mr Hebert's employment
with the commission's policies.
When Mr Hebert, a former Mississippi state regulator, was given the
chairman's job in January, the White House told him he would keep it at least
until Mr Bush's other nominees, Pat Wood and Nora Brownell, were confirmed by
the Senate.
Their appointment was confirmed this week, and Vice-President Cheney told PBS
that Mr Wood, head of the Texas public utility commission, should now get Mr
Hebert's job.
Mr Ferguson said yesterday that the president was the only one who could
decide whether Mr Hebert should keep his job.
Other candidates for seats on theVermont Sen. James Jeffords' defection from the GOP.
Bingaman is expected to take control of the committee next week when Jeffords
officially becomes a political independent and throws control of the chamber
to the Democratic Party. Bingaman will replace Sen. Frank Murkowski,
R-Alaska, a strong ally of the energy industry.
Unlike Murkowski, Bingaman supports a bill championed by Sens. Dianne
Feinstein, D-Calif., and Gordon Smith, R-Ore., to impose temporary restraints
on wholesale power sales in the West. The bill is likely to command a
majority if it comes to a vote in the committee.
The price caps still face fierce resistance in the House and at the other end
of Pennsylvania Avenue, where President Bush, armed with a veto pen, and Vice
President Dick Cheney steadfastly resist movement toward

It is being reported today that Turkey is recalling its envoys to Canada and the France because they have decided to recognize the massacre of Armenian under the Ottoman Empire.
It goes without saying that this is a sensitive issue for Turks and Armenians alike. Without getting into the issue of whether or not the Armenian massacre should be recognized as a genocide or not, the more disturbing thing is the legislation currently sitting in the French National Assembly. The draft law would make denial of the Armenian genocide a crime subject to a one-year jail term and a 45,000 Euro fine.
It isn't unusual. People get jailed for denying the Holocaust as well, as was the case in Feb of British historian David Irving who is

Opposite conductive layers 170a and b may be a second pair of conductive layers 180a and 180b, deposited on substrate 140, aligned to correspond to the upper conductive layers 170a and 170b. The beam 130 may also include a proof mass 120, which may render the teeter-totter beam 130 asymmetric, and allow it to respond to the application of an accelerative force 110. The two pairs of conductive layers 170a and 180a, and 170b and 180b may form two pairs of parallel plate capacitors. The top and bottom layers 170a and 180a, and 170b and 180b mayof the spring at the fulcrum 150.
The pivoting motion may cause the gap 175 between the first set of capacitor plates, 170a and l80a, to increase, and the gap 185 between the second set of capacitor plates 170b and 180b, to decrease. Therefore, the capacitance signal Sa from capacitor plates 170aand 180a may decrease by an amount α as a result of the applied acceleration 110, and the capacitance signal Sb from the second set of capacitor plates 170b and 180b, may increase by an equal amount, Δ. Therefore, subtracting the change in capacitance of one set of plates 170a and 180a from the change in capacitance of the second set of capacitor plates 170b and 180b, may produce a signal ΔS which is twice the amplitude of

powerful Water Gun. Totodile then came across Team Rocket, devoured their lunch itself, and sent them blasting off. Finally tracked down by Ash and Misty, Totodile jumped into the bushes just as they both threw their Lure Balls at it. They then found out that one of the Lure Balls had captured it. They decided to have a battle to decide who would keep it. Ash's Chikorita and Bulbasaur defeated Misty's Staryu and her newly evolved Poliwhirl, winning the battle and earning Ash the new Totodile.
Ash's Totodile in love
Totodile was shown to be fairly romantic, as it quickly fell in love with an Azumarill in Love, Totodile Style. Totodile's advances were spurned repeatedly by Azumarill, and Brock's decision to teach Totodile to be successful in love was noin many Gym battles, only once in A Goldenrod Opportunity against Whitney. However, Whitney's Miltank proved far too powerful, and her Rollout, already powered up in the battle with Cyndaquil, knocked out Totodile in one hit. In the rematch, Totodile performed better, launching itself into the air with Water Gun and landing on top of Miltank, but it was quickly shaken off and knocked out. Pikachu managed to win the battle. In Fight for the Light!, it was initially used against Janina, who Ash believed to be Jasmine, the Olivine City Gym Leader. Against her Onix, which had been coated in waterproof polish, Totodile was defeated by one Tackle.

team in the Whirl Cup, along with Kingler. In the battle with Christopher and his Kingdra, Totodile showed its skill by escaping a Twister and defeating Kingdra by using Bite on its snout while Kingdra used Hydro Pump, and the result of having too much water in its snout, it was sent off flying, and thus was defeated. In the head-to-head battle with Misty in The Perfect Match!, Totodile put up a good fight against her Poliwhirl by Headbutting it into a pillar, but was knocked out by a high speed dive and DoubleSlap.
Totodile was used briefly in a battle park in One Trick Phony!, where it defeated a powerful Charizard after using Scary Face for the first time. It also fought in the private Coastline Gym inJust Add Water, where it was revealed that he knew Slash. Totodile put up a very good fight in the underwater arena against Dorian's Lanturn, but Ash's inexperience in such battles and a type disadvantage caused him to lose.
In Pop Goes The Sneasel, Totodile was sent out to battle a wild Sneasel that was preventing the retrieval of the Sacred Fire needed to begin the Silver Conference. However, through a combination of Slash and Shadow Ball, Totodile and Ash were sent flying back. Harrison later defeated and captured Sneasel.

two matched up again, and the type disadvantage was evident - Totodile's water was blocked by Light Screen, and an attempt to Headbutt through resulted in a ThunderPunch knockout.
Totodile redeemed itself in a battle against Harrison in Playing with Fire!, settling the score with Sneasel. Totodile bit down on Sneasel's arm to prevent a Metal Claw, and knocked it out with its tail. Its victory dance was very popular with the audience. Totodile's Scary Face attack had no effect against Harrison's Hypno and it was taken control of with a Hypnosis attack. A Psychic took it out of the match.
Ash left Totodile at Professor Oak's Laboratory, along with his other Johto Pokémon, when he departed for the Hoenn region.

In a special episode, it was seen squirtingCassidy and Butch with a Water Gun attack but was fired back again. Totodile had its revenge later by squirting them with a Water Gun again and it hit. Later, it was seen blasting Cassidy and Butch off and destroying their helicopter. It also appeared in the Christmas special, where it was hanging out with Ash's, Brock's and Misty's Pokémon. Totodile managed to retrieve one present for Delibird. It was also seen creating the Snorlax Snowman.

Totodile appeared in An Old Family Blend! alongside Ash's other Pokémon. It was found dancing in a water fountain and affectionately nibbled on Ash's head before being recalled to its Lure Ball.

The decision to hide Jewish identity and not attend Jewish institutions comes amid a skyrocketing increase in anti-Semitism in Europe; research showed that anti-Semitic incidents in Europe spiked by 436% in Europe in July compared to the same month in the previous year.

Toyota May Suspend Japan Output Due to Steel Shortage
February 2, 2016
On January 29, 2016, representatives of the Toyota Motor Corporation said that the group may need to halt major production at its Japanese plants early in the next month. The representatives issued the statement as a result of a large steel shortage in the country, which was directly caused by an explosion at the Aichi Steel plant. This plant is operated by one of the major car corporation's affiliates, and the unexpected blast cut deeply into the production queue of steel parts. Not only are the results projected to be damaging to the region, but without the support of the plant, the world's best-selling automobile manufacturer may suffer. The Aichi Steel plant is responsible for the production ofauto steel parts, and Toyota produces approximately 40 percent of its global automobile output in Japan.
A Toyota spokesman reported that as of January 30th, 2016, the manufacturer only has enough supply inventory to keep the domestic plants running until February 6th. In order to pace production as necessary, the manufacturer has cancelled weekend shifts and overtime periods for the coming week. The representative has also said that after the week, Toyota plans on monitoring supply situations carefully on a daily basis in order to decide on planned production formulas appropriately.
Aichi Steel representatives said that the explosion at the company's Chita plant in central Japan significantly impacted the production of specialty steel parts, such as those used for automobile production. Despite the setback, the manufacturers are planning to resume

their operations sometime in March.
During this hindering period, projections are not favorable for Toyota. The manufacturer produced over four million vehicles in its Japanese plants in 2015 alone, and roughly 46 percent of this number was exported to foreign markets. With a potential suspension looming, however temporary it may be, Toyota may fall flat of its 4.13 million vehicle launch plan this year. This may be particularly problematic for the planned Prius gasoline hybrid. Toyota launched the vehicle in the United States in January, and the production was based solely in Japan.
In addition to its launch plan, Toyota plans to manufacture 10.2 million vehicles this year worldwide. This goal was set after the major manufacturer planned to beat its previous sales of 10.15 million in 2015. The 2015sales put Toyota at the top, as it sold more vehicles than Volkswagen, Mitsubishi and numerous other automakers, keeping its title as the largest global carmaker in sales. Toyota did not comment on what components were affected by the steel plant's blast. Toyota produces over 14,000 vehicles a day at its Japanese manufacturing plants, and the brand will strive to keep up with expectations despite the setback.

This report's authorsbelieve that approach shows greater maturity and intelligence: given its relative geographic isolation and distance from London, the north east should be forging strategic alliances with neighbours north and south.
But it raises too intriguing narratives for both Scottish nationalists and British unionists, for precisely the same reason.
For Salmond and the Scottish National party, that kind of cross-border allegiance would support his assertion that after independence, Scotland's social and economic bonds with England would be able to deepen and grow.
It's a proposal which goes further and deeper than the facetious notion from SNP MSP Christine Grahame several years ago that Berwick might vote to join Scotland. And in fact it is proof of Salmond's wider influence: this report is clear evidence that Scotland is now an alternative centre of

planned military operation organised in detail, with teams of snipers brought in from various NATO allied countries, unknown to each other, but organised on arrival, given orders and assignments and each sniper team being assigned spotters to help in their deadly work. This is the tactic military sniper teams use so it has to be assumed that each of the sniper teams was controlled by the same people as the team the Italians talked to, that is by American soldiers trained in these techniques and who themselves operate in teams. This operation therefore had to be planned and organised on a high level by the American forces and allied NATO governments.

For now it is clear that the entire justification of the Kiev regime for its existence, that it got rid of Yanukovych to get rid of killers, is now proved to be a cover for the fact that it is the very members of the present Kiev regime who were complicit in the killings and directed them.

at the evaporator and thereby dried, and then subsequently the dried air is heated and blown as a dry and sufficiently warm air stream through the defroster air duct against the inside of the windshield.
Furthermore, the interior of the vehicle is air conditioned by such air conditioning units as a function of the so-called dew point temperature of the outside air and, possibly, also of the inside air. The dew point temperature is defined as the temperature below which condensation occurs. For example, if the temperature of the windshield falls below the dew point temperature of the outside air or of the inside air, condensation is deposited on the outside or inside of the windshield. Means for determining the dew point temperature are known in various versions. Forexample, in an air conditioning unit of this type, which is described in the German Patent document DE 36 24 171 A1, the combination of a temperature sensor and a moisture sensor for determining the dew point temperature is known. The dew point temperature of the outside air as well as that of the inside air is determined in the above-reference. This information is used, on the one hand, for selectively influencing the inside climate and, on the other, for identifying a threatening or already existing formation of condensation on the inside of the windshield. One of the functions of an associated air conditioning control device is to decide, on the basis of the information supplied by the sensor, whether the interior of the vehicle is to be

ventilated by way of an air duct directed at the windshield or by way of an air duct blowing more air into the central region of the interior.
The outside air taken in, which is cooled, for example, using an evaporator, is generally blown only over a portion of the existing air ducts into the interior by conventional air-conditioning units during the cooling operation, that is, during the operating phase for cooling the interior air. In particular, this is done by air conditioning units with automatic air guidance, that is, automatic division of the incoming air among the different air ducts present. During this time in particular, the defroster air duct generally remains closed in order to prevent the dangerous occurrence of condensation on the outside of the windshieldthe temperature of the air blown out is lower than the dew point temperature of the outside air plus a specifiable safety offset temperature, and kept open at least partially as long as the temperature of the air blown out lies above the dew point temperature of the outside air plus the specifiable offset temperature value.
With this unit, the air duct, leading to a glass pane of the vehicle, particularly to the windshield, is opened and closed during the cooling operation of the unit by the control device automatically as a function of the determined dew point temperature of the outside air and of the determined temperature of the air that is blown in this air duct in the direction of the window pane of the vehicle.

According to legends from the Puranas, during a flood on the Kollidam river, the Goddess Amman took refuge under the neem tree near this temple, after which the temple was constructed. It is a common practice for devotees without children to visit this temple to pray for children.

The area the Vietnamese migrants are thought to have hailed from has suffered hardship in recent years following an environmental disaster in 2016.
The region had relied on fishing as a main source of income and a chemical spill wiped out around 125 miles of coastlines. Since then there has been a rise in migration in the area, with many moving away to find work.
As details of the migrant's perilous journey continue to emerge, a French state prosecutor in Boulogne-sur-Mer has told The Times of how migrants were sometimesreached the UK, as it was en route from Belgium.

The present invention is directed to an implant and a configuration for implantation of the implant into the human body, especially along the spine, having improved stabilization and locking with respect to desired position of the overall implant, as well as improved resistence to torsion during use.
The art of correcting back deformities, injuries and the like has advanced dramatically in recent years. Surgeons who perform operations on the spine and related bones of the body are constantly developing new procedures and techniques that require implants which are capable of being stable in the body after implantation and which firmly lock in place so as to resist the substantial pressures and forces developed by the body on the implant. Such implants must often also resist twisting or torsion appliedRetail & Services » Multi item retail » Supermarkets

at Gianluigi Buffon having connected with a chipped ball over the Juve defence.
The hosts replied with an early effort of their own, with Vucinic denied by a fine piece of defending from Lorik Cana as he looked to get a shot off after Andrea Pirlo had played him through.
The crowd would not be forced to wait long for a goal, though, as Vidal opened the scoring with just 14 minutes on the clock.
The Chilean latched on to a fabulous chip over the defence from Paul Pogba and showed remarkable composure to poke the ball underneath goalkeeper Federico Marchetti.
And, 12 minutes later, Vidal had his second courtesy of a cool side-footed finish after Leonardo Bonucci had surged out of the Juventus defence to play his team-mate through on goal.
Laziohad, in truth, played a more prominent role in the game than the scoreline suggested, and so there was a sense of justice when Klose got on the scoresheet two minutes after Vidal's second.
The striker was the quickest to react to a rebound from a Hernanes effort and slotted expertly beyond Buffon to bring his team back into the game.
The goalmouth action cooled somewhat after that goal, though Lazio went close on two occasions as Antonio Candreva's free-kick whistled past the post and Buffon had to be alert to keep out Hernanes' drive.
Lazio ended the first half undoubtedly on top, but just four minutes after the restart the hosts' two-goal advantage was restored.
Bonucci again provided the assist, chipping a long pass from the back into the path of

a coating to protect against stress corrosion cracking of turbine blades in regions under the blade platform.
According to one aspect of the invention, improved durability of gas turbine blades is achieved through application of improved corrosion resistant coatings. A turbine blade for a gas turbine engine, typically composed of a directionally solidified nickel-based superalloy, consists of an airfoil, a root and a platform located between the blade airfoil and root. The platform has an underside adjacent the blade neck, and the blade neck is adjacent to the blade root.
A corrosion resistant platinum aluminide coating is applied to the underside of the platform and portions of the blade neck. To maximize corrosion protection, the coating should possess between about 30-45 wt. % platinum, balance primarily aluminum and nickel. TheHARVIA CLASSIC 280 TOP

The 9th typhoon of the season typhoon Maysak
was one of the biggest storms to hit South
Korea in recent years,... causing numerous
damages and injuries.
However, just when many thought it was all

Lee Seung-jae tell us more.
Earlier this week,... the season's 9th typhoon
Maysak hit South Korea's southern resort island
of Jeju,... as well as southeastern and eastern
regions of the nation,... causing a massive
amount of damage.
Regions near Hallasan Mountain in Jeju reported
more than 1-thousand millimeters of rain,...
with windspeeds up to 50 meters per second.
Just when we thought the worst was over,...

It's the crazy grass, I yelled to my husband, cleaning in the garage. He came to look, but he's unconverted; they looked like weeds to him, nestled among the other weeds in that patch of bare earth beneath the tree, that used to be a garden.
To me, they are the image of grasses' complexity. How to understand their mystery? They grow up on schedule, their internal mechanisms as true as clock guts. They mingle with the plain and the ugly, assert their place briefly in the scheme of things. They persist for their time, then disappear, only to make their entrance again, on cue. I believe that

The only way to find out was to go and get myself some ... the result was a new love affair with Cadbury's ...

works, the Great Vestibule presents universal themes that highlight surprising similarities between early civilisations: gold death masks, maternity figures, water containers, writing instruments, precious reliquaries, decorative patterns featuring the sun, figures at prayer and horseriding. The similarities between the artworks are not explained, but are there to make visitors ask questions. It invites the visitors to walk into the galleries.
Gallery 1: The First Village
It took millions of years for the human species to spread across the globe from its origins in East Africa. However, by 10,000 BCE, in the Near East, China and Central America, communities settled for the first time and domesticated animal and plant species, which led to the appearance of the first villages. Despite regional differences, the first village communities seem to have shared adesire to bind their community together, by means of beliefs and rituals around their ancestors. Human representation developed in the form of these female figurines that seem to express preoccupations with fertility. The wealth generated by profits from agriculture and livestock supported the birth of the first forms of power.
Gallery 2: The First Great Powers
The first kingdoms appeared in the fertile valleys of the Tigris, Euphrates, Nile, Indus and Yellow River around 3000 BCE. The emergence of these first great powers was accompanied by the spread of bronze weapons. Axes, swords and armour became emblems of prestige and splendour for the powerful. The new warrior elite also began to ride horses, a development that spurred long-distance exchanges, increased the size of kingdoms and broadened the horizons of communities.

the development of the kingdoms of Mesopotamia and Egypt came the birth of the first cities, a crucial event in the history of humanity. Resulting from a population surge and a strong hierarchical organisation of society, the first cities became social and cultural melting pots that encouraged exchange and innovation. One fundamental invention was writing, which facilitated transactions and helped legitimise power.
Gallery 3: Civilisations and Empires
From about 1000 BCE, on most continents the first kingdoms gave way to vast cultural and political groups. The Assyrian and then Persian empires dominated the Middle East, while Greek cities became established around the Mediterranean basin. The Nok and Olmec cultures spread across West Africa and Mesoamerica respectively. The evolution, encounters and clashes of these empires stimulated artistic and philosophical fusions whoseinfluences are still felt today.
After setting out from the Greek kingdom of Macedonia in 334 BCE, Alexander the Great forged an unprecedented political union between Europe and Asia, which led to the formation of immense empires. As Rome, in its heyday, expanded its domination over the whole Mediterranean region, the Han Empire was expanding enormously in China. The collapse of these empires led to a regeneration of artistic forms that would be used by universal religions to communicate their message.
Gallery 4: Universal Religions
Beginning around 2000 years ago, the spread of universal religions succeeded in reaching most of the civilised areas of Europe, Asia and Africa in just a few centuries. By addressing their message to all humanity without distinction, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam transcended local cultural characteristics and

deeply transformed ancient societies.
These religions shared with Judaism the concept of monotheism but diverged on such subjects as the representation of the divine. Their expansion was sometimes conflictual and brought them into contact with other beliefs, such as Hinduism in Asia, Confucianism and Taoism in China, Shintoism in Japan, and Animism in Africa. Religion had by then become a factor that unites communities and exerts an influence on intellectual and artistic activities across continents.
Gallery 5: Asian Trade Routes
The expansion of universal religions occurred in parallel with the establishment of vast networks of exchange between continents. In Asia in the 7th century, China became the main actor in these exchanges and a major hub for innovation. The invention of porcelain, gunpowder, paper and printing characters was to change theworld. China passed most of its inventions to the Arab-Muslim world along the land and sea routes used in the silk trade.
The Islamic civilisation lay at the heart of this thriving trade network linking Asia, Europe and Africa. From the 8th to 10th centuries, Baghdad witnessed a golden age of the arts and sciences. The caravan routes taken by merchants crossed the paths followed by pilgrims, and promoted the spread of new modes of thought. These exchanges boosted the circulation of exotic materials and luxury items like silk, ceramics, jewellery, incense or ivory.
Gallery 6: From the Mediterranean to the Atlantic
The Mediterranean basin was the culminating point of the commercial and cultural routes across Asia and Africa. From the 11th century, exchanges increased between the Byzantine Empire, the Islamic

a new perspective of the world. Discoveries in the fields of mathematics and optics transmitted from the Arab world to Europe in the 15th century had important consequences for art. Forming the foundation of the geometric and abstract approach to representation in Islamic art, they also enabled European artists to create depth and three-dimensionality in images.
The flourishing intellectual and artistic activity of the time was called the Renaissance by Europeans who were rediscovering their Antiquity. For artists and architects, it provided an aesthetic model that profoundly renewed the representation of the human body and landscapes. In China, too, artists found inspiration in the models of the past to strengthen the cultural and political legitimacy of their monarchs. Meanwhile, the Arab-Islamic world developed an international style that placed emphasison the use of geometric and floral forms.
Gallery 8: The Magnificence of the Court
Encounters between different worlds led to unprecedented rivalry between rulers. This phenomenon took on a new dimension in the 17th century and occurred simultaneously throughout Europe, China, the Muslim empires and the kingdoms of Africa. Sovereigns glorified themselves by displaying symbols of their power and commissioning majestic representations of their royal person and court. Equestrian portraits became a widespread form of representation.
Monarchs competed to attract the best artists, commission new decorative settings and invest enormous amounts in the construction of palaces and religious buildings of exceptional opulence. The magnificence of court life, the luxury of costumes and weaponry and the splendour of art collections gave rulers a dazzling image that was designed to overshadow other

then around the world, to drastically alter the way they capture images and translate the real world onto canvas.
Gallery 11: Challenging Modernity
During the 20th century the notions of modernity and progress, which the industrial and colonial West had spread across the planet, were brought into question. The two world wars and many instances of decolonisation challenged a great number of certainties. Artistic creation reflected these developments, experiencing constant reinvention, punctuated by divisions and radical movements such as abstraction, ready-mades and the imaginative universe of the Surrealists.
Echoing the remarkable pace of modern life, the rapid succession of artistic movements constantly opened new perspectives. The boundaries of art were continually redefined, extended and in constant transformation. The avant-garde movements in Paris and elsewhere in Europe attracted artists from all overthe world. The growing influence of North American artists coincided with the broadening of artistic horizons to encompass the world as a whole.
Gallery 12: A Global Stage
At the beginning of the 21st century, the scale of communication around the globe seems to have transformed the planet into a global village. The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 marked the end of a historical era in which the West had occupied centre stage. The economic rise of most continents has given way to a multipolar and multicultural world in which artists have taken it upon themselves to invent a different version of modernity.
The instant spread and omnipresence of television and internet images place the representation of the world in a state of constant self-reflection. Creative works have become

4. HEADED NORTH: Battered and bruised, there was plenty of proof up and down the leaderboard that this was not a day for good cheer. Five players failed to break 80, including the author of the recent dramatics at the Accenture Match Play Championship, Victor Dubuisson.
Having finished with a first-round 72 in the morning, the 23-year-old opened Round 2 with a par at the first, then got on an ugly bogey train. He bogeyed the second, doubled the third, bogeyed the fourth, and bogeyed the fifth. He added a double at the seventh for an outward 43 and shot 81.
More shockingly, Luke Donald posted his highest PGA Tour score, an 82. Previously, he had shot 80twice, but not since the 2005 U.S. Open.
5. SHORT SHOTS: In 14 previous Cadillac Championships, a second-round leader/co-leader has gone on to win the event nine times, with Tiger Woods winning five times. . . . Tiger Woods made a 91-foot, 7-inch putt on the fourth hole. It was the seventh longest putt in non-majors since 2003. . . . There were a record 113 balls in the water during the second round, previously the most in the water was 88 in 2004. . . . Jonas Blixt was the only player to have a bogey-free round in Round 2 with an even-par 72.
The 2014 PGA Tour season was highlighted with breakout performances, cash grabs and a top player who filed on all cylinders. The lowlights were plentiful,

In many cases, polycrystalline silicon, amorphous silicon, metal having a high melting point such as W, TiN or TiSi, or their compounds are used as material for a conductor film.
Subsequently, the conductor film is removed from the surface of the first interlayer insulating film 5 by subjecting the entire surface of the wafer to anisotropic etching. As a result, a first conductor plug 8 is formed in only the inside of each first interconnect opening 6. In consideration of the uniform thickness of the conductor film and the uniformity of the wafer surface after the etch-back, the wafer is usually etched to a depth which is equal to or greater than the thickness of the conductor film, thereby completely removing the conductor film on the surface of theinside the interconnect opening 6 by anisotropically etching back the conductor film formed on the surface of the interlayer insulating film 5, the wafer is over-etched so as to prevent etch residues from being left on the surface of the wafer 100. For this reason, the surface of the first conductor plug 8 after over-etching is usually recessed about hundreds to thousands Angstroms below the surface of the first interlayer insulating film 5.
Next, as shown in FIG. 18, a second interlayer insulating film 9 is thinly formed on the wafer so as to cover the first interlayer insulating film 5 and the first conductor plug 8, and then a first wiring layer 10 is formed. The second interlayer insulating film 9 protects the surface of the conductor plug

a recess having substantially the same depth is formed on each conductor plug 8 even after formation of the second interlayer insulating film 9. Then, an etch residue 11 may remain in each recess after the first wiring layer 10 has been formed by etching.
Next, a third interlayer insulating film 12 is formed on the wafer, and the second interconnect openings 13 is formed through the third interlayer insulating film 12 to the surface of each first conductor plug 8. Then, the second interconnect openings 13 is filled with a second conductor plug 14. At this time, the etch residue 11 left in the first interconnect opening 6 may cause a failure such as an electrical short circuit between the first wiring layer 10 and the second conductorinsulated from the first conductor plugs 8 by the presence of the second interlayer insulating film 9, the etch residue 11 is in continuation with the first wiring layer 10.
Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 19, when the second conductor plugs 14 are formed, the first wiring layer 10 causes short circuits with the first conductor plug 8 and the second conductor plug 14 by way of the etch residue 11, thereby resulting in a failure.
In addition, as shown in FIGS. 16 through 19, a modified layer 55 is formed along the surface of the first interlayer insulating film 5 by means of fluorine-containing etching gas commonly used for etching back a conductor film 7. The modified layer causes the deterioration of electrical insulating characteristics of the interlayer insulating

film 5. If a wiring layer is formed directly on the surface of the interlayer insulating film 5, a short-circuit failure may arise between the wiring patterns.
Further, when the second interlayer insulating film 9 is formed on the first interlayer insulating film 6 after etch-back, the second interlayer insulating film 9 may not be formed uniformly, resulting in the deterioration of uniform thickness of the wafer surface. The deterioration of uniform thickness of the wafer causes a deterioration of manufacturing yields of a semiconductor device or variations in the electrical characteristics of products.
In such a conventional technique, the conductor plugs 8 are formed by anisotropic etching, so that insufficient over-etching in etch-back process causes etch residues. On the other hand, excess over-ething results in an increase in thean identical abrasive agent is described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 9-186237. Depending on the materials of the conductor film and the interlayer insulating film, a slight difference arises in polishing rate between the conductor film and the interlayer insulating film, which in turn causes residues of conductor film to be left on the surface of the wafer. In order to prevent such residues, it is necessary to sufficiently smooth the surface of the interlayer insulating film in some way beforehand. Consequently, in terms of reproducibility and manufacturing cost, the foregoing method presents problems. Further, the interlayer insulating film needs to be formed thick beforehand to allow abrasion by the CMP method. This requires deep interconnect openings to be formed anisotropically. Therefore, the dimensional control of the

At Charlotte town, they attended the musical of the most famous story of Anne of Green Gables at Avonlia. On a seven mile tour by lobster boat, they went to see the whales at sea.
They mostly slept in fine hotels, but once they slept in a 1929 old hotel. In the middle of the night, the fire alarm sounded. They threw on robes, shoes, and grabbed their purses before exiting. When the fire trucks arrived, they discovered water that had leaked into the alarm system, causing the fire alarm to go off. It was a scare.
At breakfast, they had delicious fruit, bread, and lots of seafood. For dinner, they were served steamed lobster.
They visited the fort that the British and French fought overmany times. At one point, they overlooked a cliff as a youngster played the bagpipes.
The highlight of the tour, Shirley said, was the Grand Pré, which served as one of the chief settlements of Acadia.
There, in 1755, the Acadians made a final refusal of the British oath of allegiance, which resulted in a force of New England Colonial troops gathering up the inhabitants of Grand Pré and deporting them.
The famous poem of Evangeline in which Longfellow described the act of deportation of the Acadians. They viewed the statue of Evangeline and bronze statues of the Acadians as they fled in an open field.
As they traveled, they saw sand beaches, sand figures, and graveyards. At Port Royal, they viewed the house, chapel and bar made of bottles.

NASA Lightning Research Happens in a Flash
Kim Newton, 256-544-0371
Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Ala.
Kimberly.D.Newton@nasa.gov
Lightning's connection to hurricane intensification has eluded researchers for decades, and for a riveting 40 days this summer, NASA lightning researchers will peer inside storms in a way they never have before.Earth scientists and engineers at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., will soon fly the Lightning Instrument Package, or LIP, a flight instrument designed to track and document lightning as hurricanes develop and intensify. In August and September, LIP will fly on a remotely piloted Global Hawk airplane over the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean at an altitude of 60,000 feet. LIP will be part of a NASA hurricane study called Genesis and Rapid Intensification Processes , or GRIP for short.The Atlanta BeltLine may soon extend into the southeast portion of Buckhead, and plans for the trail, called the Northeast Trail, were presented at a public meeting July 13.
The Northeast Trail would be the second segment of BeltLine trails to be built in Buckhead following the completed Northside Trail near Piedmont Hospital.
The plan would work with Georgia Power to pave an existing interim hiking trail from Ansley Mall in Midtown to Mayson Street, just barely past I-85 on the Buckhead border.
The BeltLine already has secured federal funding for that segment of the trail and sections on either end of it, to Monroe Drive on the south end and to Lindbergh on the north end, but it is not enough money to fund the entire project.

Unknown blood type
Because blood type O negative is compatible with anyone, it is often overused and in short supply. According to the American Association of Blood Banks, the use of this blood should be restricted to persons with O negative blood, as nothing else is compatible with them, and women who might be pregnant and for whom it would be impossible to do blood group testing before giving them emergency treatment. Whenever possible, the AABB recommends that O negative blood be conserved by using blood type testing to identify a less scarce alternative.
Religious objections
Jehovah's Witnesses object to blood transfusions because of their belief that blood is sacred.
Research into alternatives

By ensuring the justiciability, and consequently the effectiveness of economic and social rights, we can make them a reality for the majority of the planet. By making all actors responsible for the human rights violations to which they contribute, including the transnational corporations, human rights can concretise much more widely. These issues are on the top of our agenda. The FIDH, to which I belong, will devote its next Congress to the issues of accountability, justiciability of rights and civil society participation. Those elements are prerequisites for the democratisation of globalisation.

like to take the opportunity bestowed to me by the organisers of this Forum to raise the issue of the growing number of terrorist attacks, and of the subsequent measures that have been taken by some states during the past two years using September 11 and the war against terrorism as a pretext. Combating terrorist attacks is legitimate and necessary, on the condition to fully respect due process of law and the rule of law. However, under the guise of the struggle against terrorism, some States, including the United States, consider legitimate to take measures which violate international human rights law. This is notably the case for the prisoners detained in the American base of Guantanamo.
Afghanistan and Iraq are occupied, after armed interventions in violation of international law.The situation in Afghanistan is deteriorating every day, where the fanaticism is on the rise again, and where a new civil war might burst at any moment. In Iraq, the situation is dim as well. The effective power should be transferred as soon as possible to the Iraqi people. They must be allowed to take their fate in their own hands and to exploit the wealth of their country themselves, for the benefit of the population appears irrelevant to certain states.

of opinion in the Iranian jails : they should be released.
In the present context of war against terrorism, human rights defenders are confronted to a climate where defending the right to a fair trial, the presumption of innocence or the prohibition of torture is considered as irrelevant by many states. The security issues bypass any other rights and principles. Their message of peace and justice is more difficult to channel in a climate of radicalisation, rising communautarism and growing repression.
Solidarity between human rights defenders throughout the world is crucial to enhance their protection. The support of regional and international NGOs is also determinant.

The Indian Submarine Arm has evolved combing the best of traditions of the Russians the Germans and our own into an operating philosophy suited to our environment. Over the years Admiral Gorshkov the father of the Soviet Navy did his utmost to help us develop our Submarine Arm. The same can be said of his successor Admiral Chernavin and the German Government and Navy. Our submarine fleet peaked in the early 1990s with 20 boats including the first INS Chakra. Since then Government apathy, the lost opportunity to continue building the Shishmar class Type1500s and the delays in the Scorpene project meant a gradual erosion of force levels to 13 boats in 2011. Matters are looking up again with the new INS Chakra in commission, the new INS Kalvari expected on stream later this year and INS Arihant under trials.
Submariners all over the world share a unique bond which is that, when dived, the lives of all depend on each crew member doing his job absolutely right each time without fail.
Jai Hind.

to have commanded both a nuclear submarine and an aircraft carrier. The main role onwas to teach us how to operate a nuke boat, build our confidence and give our surface navy the opportunity to better appreciate this formidable great white shark. With the collapse of USSR in 1991 sadly this lease ended.The two primary roles of a submarine force are to ensure sea denial by making it too dangerous for ships of the opposing forces to cross an area - a strait, a narrow, a coastal area astride an important port, a major sea lane. In the first role of sea denial the aim is to sink or better threaten to sink anf opposing ship or submarine the enters the area. The second primary role is tobe the final arbiter of nuclear deterrence by providing a credible secondary strike capability after the enemy has destroyed your nuclear and economic assets. In addition to these two primary roles most submarines perform several secondary but important roles of surveillance, gathering signal intelligence from the opposing coast, laying mines and supporting covert commando operations. India lies astride the Straits of Malacca to the east and the Straits of Hormuz to the west two of the most widely transited narrows on the globe.In 2012 the Indian Navy leased, for 10 years, a newly built Akula II class nuclear powered attack submarine christened.

AboutNutrients recovery from anaerobic digestate of agro-waste: Techno-economic assessment of full scale applications.
The sustainable production of fertilizers, especially those based on phosphorus, will be one of the challenges of this century. Organic wastes produced by the agriculture, urban and industrial sectors are rich in nutrients which can be conveniently recovered and used as fertilizers. In this study five full scale systems for the recovery of nutrients from anaerobic digestate produced in farm-scale plants were studied. Monitored technologies were: drying with acidic recovery, stripping with acidic recovery and membrane separation. Results showed good performances in terms of nutrients recovery with average yields always over 50% for both nitrogen and phosphorus. The techno-economic assessment showed how the specificity of the monitored systems played a major role: in particular, membranes were

in the business of supplying and transporting these materials to other contractors. Hodges contracts with the State Highway Department on State highway projects, and *831 with the Federal government on interstate highway projects. At the time of the accident Scott had an oral agreement with Hodges to haul materials for it. Scott owned two trucks, one which he operated himself and the other which was operated by Ray. Hodges paid Scott on the basis of the number of units he hauled and the distance he hauled them. Scott paid Ray twenty-five per cent of the per unit payment which Scott received from Hodges. According to testimony for Hodges, when it was working on a federally funded project each driver had to be listed on its payroll to insurecompliance with the federal requirement that all drivers be paid at least the minimum wage. When Ray worked on a federal project, Hodges paid Ray directly and deducted his pay from the amount paid to Scott. If the amount Hodges paid to Ray was less than Ray's usual percentage, Scott made up the difference. The work which Ray did was the same whether he was on Hodges' payroll or not. Significantly, during the week of the accident Ray was on Hodges' payroll every day except the day the accident occurred. On the day of the accident, Ray was hauling sand from the sand pit owned by Hodges to the Hodges' asphalt plant. A Hodges' foreman loaded Ray's truck at the sand pit, and another Hodges' foreman told him

Apparently, the CEO had not.
During the clinic's staff meeting, he acknowledged newFNP's contributions in front of the entire staff.

We know the true record of Barack Obama. There is the courage he showed when so many others were silent or simply went along. From the beginning, he opposed the war in Iraq.
And let no one deny that truth.
There is the great intelligence of someone who could have had a glittering career in corporate law, but chose instead to serve his community and then enter public life.
There is the tireless skill of a Senator who was there in the earlyus at odds with one another.
I remember another such time, in the 1960s, when I came to the Senate at the age of 30. We had a new president who inspired the nation, especially the young, to seek a new frontier. Those inspired young people marched, sat in at lunch counters, protested the war in Vietnam and served honorably in that war even when they opposed it.
They realized that when they asked what they could do for their country, they could change the world.

Patient-centered outcomes research to improve asthma outcomes.
The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute is funding 8 comparative effectiveness research projects to improve patient-centered outcomes for African American and Hispanic/Latino patients with uncontrolled asthma. These projects aim to compare multilevel interventions with known efficacy at the community, home, and health system levels to enhance patient and clinician uptake of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's National Asthma Education Prevention Program guidelines and improve outcomes. The National Asthma Education Prevention Program guidelines provide clinicians with a range of acceptable approaches for the diagnosis and management of asthma and define general practices that meet the needs of most patients. Yet disparities in asthma care and outcomes remain pervasive for African Americans and Hispanics/Latinos. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute AsthmaNet consortiumand that, when one of the other members of the group that had planned the robbery could not participate, Auch agreed to replace him as the driver. Tracy also testified that he gave Auch an unloaded .357 revolver as the group prepared to rob the armored car. Tracy testified regarding the events of the robbery, which lasted no more than 30 seconds and netted $350,000.

Steven Connolly also testified against Auch as a government witness. Connolly had not participated in the Charlestown robbery, but he agreed to permit the government to tape a conversation between himself and Auch during which Auch bragged about his participation.1 The government introduced a recording of the inculpatory conversation and a transcript of the relevant portions at Auch's trial.2 During trial, Auch's counsel questioned

battle of edo and attack of an eastern area owned by the shimazu clan. His death toke place at age 21 when he lost in a duel against yoshiro shimazu and had his head crushed to nothing but a puddle of blood by an enemy war-hammer.
Aftermath 321 Ad - Present Day
After his death Zane wandered across the battle ground of his death and in due time had a konso preformed by the lieutenant of squad eight. After entering the soul society he was confused about what the hell was going on so he had asked other local souls about the soul society, rukon district and seireitei. After adjusting to the new world and towns, Zane moved to rukon district, hearing that a lot of violent souls lived inthe area and liked to fight. Quickly after entering rukon he had already got into a fight with one of other souls in the area and had trouble fighting since the only types of combat he had adjusted to were with blades and not hand to hand. Spending several hundred years in rukon, Zane fully adjusted to the life-style of the area and trained him self against other souls until he had become one of the most skilled fighters in the rukon district. Through the years he had found a blade much like the one he had back in his time as a human, although he didn't remember much about his time in the living realm now, he used the blade from that day on until eventually his

Devoid of Shadows is an action RPG that launched onto Steam on July 13th, 2017, being developed by N-Games Studios and published by ArsLogica LP. The game has currently received mixed reviews from Steam community reviews, with it currently holding a 60% on Steam as of the time of writing. One of the main complaints that the game had was the poor translations into some languages, and this was a big complaint that was voiced in the game's community hub. In a now deleted discussion that was archived Credits , a Steam user wrote:After a few more similar complaints of other translations into different languages that the game had, the publisher ArsLogicaLP came in,essentially saying that they have a translator working on the different language translations and have put the community's concerns towards the translator to hopefully fix the poor translations that the game had. After further discussion took place, the actual translator for Devoid of Shadows came into the discussion, while logged into ArsLogica LP's account, responding to the poor translations by saying this:After a few users responded to the discussion, it was quickly deleted and a number of people ended up receiving bans from the community hub.
Two days after these events took place, ArsLogica made a Steam discussion, explaining the situation regarding translations and also apologizing to the Steam community for the legal threats made under the account, in the discussion, the representative of ArsLogica LP states:

The House Party Hassle
House Party is an early access puzzle game developed and published by Eek! Games LLC, which launched on Steam June 30th, 2017. Since the game's launch, it has proven to be a large success with players, with the game currently receiving mostly positive reviews on Steam with a 77% from players, and it has been reported that the game has sold over 30,000 copies in just its first month on Steam. Prior to coming on to Steam, the game received a rather large following when the demo of the game was posted to the site itch.io and it also gained a large amount of attention after some large gamingYouTubers played the game for their audience to see, some of these include YouTubers such as PewDiePie, Jacksepticeye, and MattShea, with their videos of House Party sitting at 5.2 million, 2.1 million, and 2.7 million views respectively.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F02gAChxDoY
With the success that House Party found on both itch.io and YouTube, the game was submitted to Steam Greenlight and was successfully greenlit by the community. However, the game ended up receiving criticism when it was brought to the Steam store, due to a few factors. The first was due to some scenes included in the game, in which the player could partake in first person sex scenes with the female characters, which also had people label the game as a form of pornography, which submission of which is against Steam terms

of service in regards to game submissions. In addition to this, some scenes in the game received criticism due to it having a scene in which the player character blackmails one of the females to perform sexual acts with him and also get one of the characters to get drunk to take advantage of them. Additionally, it was discovered that copyrighted logos were present within the game, some of which include Reddit, Sony, and Hearthstone.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgO0kk2dBXQ
Jump ahead 1 month later to July 2017, where House Party has found its self in the top sellers of Steam for a number of weeks and Valve make the decision to pull the game from the store. In a post on the developer's website, it is described that Valve pulled the game dueto a number of complaints coming in regarding the game. The Valve representative said that they would be happy to continue selling the game as long as specific scenes in the game got further censorship. 2 days after the game got pulled, the game has since been reinstated. Another post was made on the developer's website explaining that some of the sex scenes had to be censored further in the Steam release, however the developer is still offering an uncensored patch on his website for Steam purchases which Valve appear to be fine with, as long as the uncensored patch is not automatically in the game files to begin with. This is something many games have done in the past, such as HuniePop and serves as a workaround

According to the needle thread changing device of a sewing machine of the first aspect, threads are no longer changed by moving the spool of a changing thread as in the conventional example. That is, a plurality of thread end portionsbeing movable to an operating position and to a return position, the operating position being a position at which the pickup member picks up an end portion of a newly selected thread while crossing the passage of the newly selected thread, the return position being a position at which the pickup member draws near and holds the picked up end portion of the newly selected thread so that the pickup member holds the newly selected thread at a predetermined distance from the currently selected thread held by the thread cutting member with one of the threads up and the other down; and a knotting unit being parallelly movable to an operating position and to a standby position, the operating position being a position at which the knotting unit

A critical issue in drug development remains the failure to identify toxicological problems in new chemical entities sufficiently early in development to avoid the expense of terminating drugs in late-stage clinical development. The Society of Chemical Industry's BioActive Sciences Group arranged a one-day meeting in London, United Kingdom, on February 27, 2003, devoted to progress in the development of in silico modeling and expert systems. The meeting provided an assessment of the progress that has been made in the development of models that can be used to evaluate chemical libraries at the design stage, or to predict potential toxic effects while chemical projects are still in the lead optimization stage. Although success in developing such models might reduce the number of new chemical entities

The evidence demonstrated, the State argued, the petitioner aided and abetted Baldwin and Pink in the commission of the aggravated robbery. Specifically, the State contended:
92
It's a question submitted to you in the language of the instructions, ... that anyone who helps in the escape is liable for the crime from which the escape was made because the escape is part of the commission of the crime. And I'll submit to you that Mr. Kelly was operating his vehicle, picked them up and drove back to the Sunset Motel with them. After all, it was Mr. Kelly that had the money when they came walking with the change. That was Mr. Kelly.6
93
The jury acquitted the petitioner of the kidnapping charges buta vehicle was used to get to or from the scene. Indeed, the only possible witness to the escape of the two perpetrators was Mr. Bell who simply testified that he heard footsteps leaving the restaurant.
102
From the prosecutor's closing statement, it can be seen he merely assumed a car was used by Pink and Baldwin in the commission of the offense. He failed to prove that fact. Because the state's theory of Mr. Kelly's guilt was dependent upon his procurement of a car for use in the crime, the utter failure of proof makes clear the jury could have linked him to the crime only by the use of conjecture.

The only remaining evidence indicating the petitioner's participation in the robbery is Mr.

a news report concerning the robbery, it is equally reasonable to infer the crime was committed a day before the day she describes. In its brief on appeal, the State tries to avoid the time problems in Ms. Walker's testimony by relying on Mr. Hicks' testimony that the petitioner borrowed the car shortly before midnight. Nonetheless, it must be remembered Mr. Hicks said this event took place in July. The State's reliance on Mr. Hicks, who also testified he did not see the petitioner with Pink or Baldwin on the day he borrowed the car, demonstrates the paucity of evidence on which the State has built its aiding and abetting case

My Review
Irene V. Phillips has written an imaginative and descriptive novel that does a great job of pulling the reader into the world she has created. The flow of the novel was well executed and everything as far as pacing went felt smooth. I enjoyed getting to know the characters both primary and secondary. They all felt like they had their own purpose and had depth that made me care about them.A wonderful Young Adult Fantasy novel!

Sherrie Roth grew up in Western Kansas thinking that there was no place in the universe more fascinating than outer space. After her mother vetoed astronaut as a career ambition, she went on to study journalism and physics in hopes of becoming a science writer.
She published her first science fiction short story in 1979 and then waited a lot of tables while she looked for inspiration for the next story. When it finally came, it declared to her that it had to be whole book,nothing less. One night, while digesting this disturbing piece of news, she drank way too many shots of ouzo with her boyfriend. She woke up thirty-one years later demanding to know what was going on.
The boyfriend, who she had apparently long since married, asked her to calm down and explained that in a fit of practicality she had gone back to school and gotten a degree in geophysics and had spent the last 28 years interpreting seismic data in the oil industry. The good news, according to Mr. Cronin, was that she had found it at least mildly entertaining and ridiculously well-paying The bad news was that the two of them had still managed to spend almost all of the money.

A final hearing was held on the Complaint for Relief on February 24, 1982, at which time testimony and other evidence were submitted by the parties. The plaintiff has not only attempted to show that there is no adequate protection of its interest but it has also attempted to prove that the debtor has no equity in the property and that the property is not necessary for an effective plan of reorganization.

and a mortgage deed, in the process of purchasing certain land and premises located at 46 Pine Street, Rutland, Vermont. The note in the sum of $16,000.00 required the debtor to make monthly payments beginning on April 1, 1979. The mortgage deed, through its conditions, required the debtor to pay the taxes, and insurance, as well as preserve and maintain the premises. The total purchase price at the time the debtor negotiated the purchase was $25,000.00.
From 1979 through February, 1982, the debtor rented portions of the premises at 46 Pine Street to various individuals. As such, the debtor received rental income during that period from the premises. However, in December of 1981, Lawrence A. LaMontagne, Building Inspector and Zoning Administrator for the City of Rutland, inspected the propertyat 46 Pine Street, after receiving complaints from the buildings tenants, neighbors, and the Health Department. The December inspection revealed 16 violations of applicable Safety & Building Codes. The debtor was notified of the violations on or about December 31, 1981. The debtor subsequently determined that it would be more convenient to make the necessary repairs when the building was empty. As such, the building was vacated in February of 1982 and has remained vacant to the present time.
On December 1, 1982 a fire occurred in the vacant premises of 46 Pine Street which caused extensive damage. Because of this damage the City of Rutland requested the mortgage-holder, Marble Savings Bank, to clean up and secure the property. The bank immediately contacted Giancola Construction Corp., which boarded up

and at least one was wearing
gloves. During the robbery, one of the armored truck security
guards was shot and killed. On June 19, 2007, appellants
Antoine Johnson and Michael Williams, both of whom had
affiliations with a group known as the Hoover Street Gang,
were indicted by a grand jury for their involvement in the
robbery and murder. The charges carried a maximum
possible penalty of death.
At trial, the Government introduced several out-of-court
statements made by an informant, Veronica Burgess. These
statements form the basis for the Sixth Amendment issues in
this appeal.
Burgess had come forward to police in 2004, claiming
that, while eating lunch at a restaurant in Watts, she had
overheard several Hoover gang members planning an
armored truck heist. She identified Johnson from a photo
spread as one of theparticipants, and later testified to this
effect before the grand jury. Burgess also picked Williams
out of a photo-lineup on one occasion, although in a later
6 UNITED STATES V. JOHNSON
interview, she confused him with a different individual.
Burgess was to be an important witness at trial, but shortly
before trial the Government was unable to locate her, even
after checking her public records and conducting extensive
surveillance of her known residences.
The district court in this case permitted the Government,
after a pretrial hearing, to introduce her statements against
Johnson under the forfeiture exception to the hearsay rule.
To support admissibility, the Government contended that
Johnson had threatened Burgess in order to prevent her from
testifying. In the pretrial hearing, the Government
