his credibility to be inadmissible under K.S.A. 60-421 unless he has first introduced evidence solely for the purpose of supporting his credibility.
In the instant case a fair analysis of the testimony of defendant's witness Mendez, and that of defendant on direct examination, discloses that evidence was offered for the purpose of establishing credibility as well as character and reputation of the defendant. Such being the case, the state's cross-examination, following the evidence of defendant, clearly falls within the respective exceptions to the proscriptions of both K.S.A. 60-421 and K.S.A. 60-447.
The defendant objected to the testimony of one of the nine year old girls for the reason the state had failed to lay a foundation showing the witness understood an oath and the nature of the proceedings. The trialHall in New York and played at dozens of venues in California. In 1966, Ashley and Reidsville, North Carolina guitarist Tex Isley toured England. A second tour of England was planned for 1967, but Ashley grew ill and discovered he had cancer before he departed. He died in 1967 at Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
In March 2013, the Library of Congress announced that the album, Old Time Music at Clarence Ashley's, would be added to the National Recording Registry. The album consists of a series of early-1960s recordings by Ralph Rinzler of folk songs performed by Ashley and bandmates Doc Watson, Clint Howard, Fred Price, Gaither Carlton and Tommy Moore.

and Aristeides had made to him, warning just how dangerous it could be to press one's advantage in such circumstances and force a formidable adversary, intent on flight, to fight. In any case, he told them, the victory was not really theirs. It was the work of the gods and heroes of the land and a consequence of the hubris and impiety of the Persian king. In the spring, they could gather again, sail to the Hellespont and Ionia, and take revenge. In the interim, he urged, they should rejoice in the fact that they had driven the barbarian from Hellas, and they should return home, rebuild their houses, and turn to sowing so that there would be a harvest in the spring. Underpinning Themistocles' advice was aof a battle on land, Mardonius was not going to be expelled from Hellas; and the Athenians were now ready to join the Aeginetans and the Peloponnesians in prosecuting the war at sea in the waters off Asia Minor. By this time, it was late July or early August.
### The Road to Plataea
When it came to political matters, the Spartans were, as we have often had occasion to note, a secretive lot. The five thousand Spartiates under Pausanias' command left for the Isthmus of Corinth, Herodotus tells us, not just abruptly but in a stealthy fashion under cover of night; and, when they had marched up the Eurotas, they traveled not by the most direct route north-northeast via Sellasia, but turned, instead, north-northwest to the town of Oresthasion

A male thief wearing a dress and crotchless pants attacked a Brisbane sex store worker with sex toys during a bungled burglary.
Police say the 34-year-old man forced his way through the ceiling of the store in the northern suburb of Aspley in the early hours of Saturday morning.
The female manager of the store was alerted when the man set off an alarm.
When the owner confronted the man, who was wearing a wig, dress and crotchless pants, he allegedly threw a number of sex toys at the woman.
The thief climbed back through the ceiling and onto the roof where he was arrested by police.
The Murrumba Downs man has been charged with break and enter and possessing dangerous drugs.
Sex shop thief crashes through ceiling
Last week, another man fell through asex shop roof during a botched burglary in Cairns.
Police allege the 22-year-old man grabbed a Fantasy Fetish pack, which contained items including a saddle, after crashing through the ceiling in the early hours of Thursday.
Witnesses called police who arrested the man nearby.
He faced a Cairns court on Friday on five theft and burglary related charges.

protege, who has said the Lokpal Bill lacks teeth.
The government's floor managers on Tuesday persuaded the Samajwadi Party of Mulayam Singh Yadav to tone down their stance and allowed the party's Ram Gopal Yadav to voice his objection before staging a strategic walkout ahead of the debate.
Congress sources say Rahul Gandhi has taken charge of the party's Lokpal strategy, which many see as the party's attempt to credit him with championing the anti-corruption measure ahead of national polls due by May.
This morning, Mr Gandhi met with Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kamal Nath and minister in charge of the Prime Minister's office V Narayanasamy - to discuss strategy to ensure the Bill's passing in Parliament.
The Congress party's redoubled push for the Lokpal Bill is being seen in the context ofits humiliating defeat in the Delhi elections. Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party or AAP made a stunning debut with its promise to fight corruption, decimating the Congress after three terms.
In December, 2011, the Bill was cleared by the Lok Sabha but was stalled in the Rajya Sabha. It was then sent to a parliamentary committee for review. The amended version will be introduced in the Rajya Sabha. That version must then be cleared by the Lok Sabha.

throwing up under the June sun; but from the point where Lee's line curved to the westward, while
p450
Grant's continued southward, the space between the two fronts widened gradually until it became as much as •two miles. The extreme Confederate right, which was lightly held, quite overlapped the Federal front there. This situation gave Lee a certain freedom of manoeuvre on his right. He availed himself of this very promptly and employed his right division as a general reserve to strengthen the sector to the east, as occasion required, or to be moved across the James and aid Custis Lee in defending Richmond.
Sketch of the lines in front of Petersburg, after June 18, 1864, showing how the extension of the Confederate right placed it at so great a distancefrom the Federal front that Lee could hold it lightly and use part of its defenders as a general reserve.
The question of subsistence was more serious than the prospect
p451
of being pinned to the Richmond-Petersburg defenses. Lee was almost entirely dependent on the railways to feed his army. These roads were four in number. Close to the Richmond defenses lay the long-contested Virginia Central. Directly south from Petersburg ran the Petersburg and Weldon Railroad, which was a link in the main coastal route leading to Wilmington and Charleston and thence to Atlanta. Southwestward from Richmond was the track of the Richmond and Danville. This was connected at Danville with the new Piedmont Railroad, leading to Greensboro, N. C. General Lee, it will be recalled, had been very anxious to

with the enemy on the 21st were sent in pursuit of the raiders. Wilcox's division was moved out to take the place of the cavalry, but it found the enemy's infantry retiring.10 The next day, when Lee rode to the Confederate right, he learned from Mahone that the Federal infantry was again advancing.11 Mahone thought he saw an opening for a flank attack and asked permission to deliver it. With Lee's approval, he led off three brigades from the Confederate right, found that a gap had been carelessly left between the II and VI Corps, and quickly rolled up two strong Federal divisions.12 He skillfully drew back before nightfall with more than 1600 prisoners, four guns and eight flags.13 Still more might have been accomplished had Wilcox co-operatedwith Mahone,
p454
but as Wilcox's orders from Hill were contrary to Mahone's plan, Wilcox held to his instructions and did little.14
Encouraged by the evident low morale of the Federal infantry in this engagement, Lee at once projected an offensive against the Federal right near the Appomattox. As most of the participating troops belonged to Beauregard, that commander prepared the plan of operations. A heavy force of artillery was placed at Hancock's Hill, on the north side of the Appomattox, and was directed to open on the morning of the 24th. Hoke's division was then to advance and was to storm the Federal line. Field was to follow, and the two were to sweep down the Union works. On the designated day, Lee rode out to the hill and joined

country byways in returning to the Federal camps. There was a bad break on the Southside and a much worse one on the Richmond and Danville Railway that could not be repaired for weeks. Lee redoubled his efforts to strengthen his cavalry and to guard these lines of communication.26 Meantime he hauled supplies around the gaps and pushed the work of replacing the ruined rails.27 Writing to the President during the progress of the raid, he reaffirmed his belief that the shortage of supplies was his most serious concern, and hinted that this might compel him to attack Grant in his fortified position, dangerous as that would be.28
THE TYPE OF RAILWAY ON WHICH LEE HAD TO RELY FOR SUPPLIES
This photograph was made in April, 1865, and shows AppomattoxStation and its spur-track on the Southside Railroad, but nearly all the lines were in virtually the same worn condition as early as 1864.
As continuous hot, dry weather forced a virtual suspension of large-scale operations toward the end of June, while the men labored to strengthen the lines,29 the only cheer in the army was over the good news of Early's advance down the Shenandoah Valley. Hunter had retreated westward and not northward as
p457
Lee had feared,30 but as there was at least a possibility that Hunter might return, Lee reasoned that Early's best method of dealing with that invader would be to march for the Potomac.31 When Early approached New market, and seemed to have a clear road to Harpers Ferry, Lee hoped for a time that his

return. He had not expected him to be able to capture Washington.b His view of the potential results was conservative. Before Early turned back, Lee wrote the President that the expedition might serve a useful purpose in compelling the enemy to keep troops near the Potomac.56 He did not believe President Lincoln would willingly consent to the return to Grant of the forces sent to guard Washington;57 but he held no high expectations unless Early was strong enough to cross the Potomac a second time, and he anticipated that the Second Corps might be forced to return to the upper Valley if Hunter's column was not called to Maryland.58 In an effort to make it sure that Hunter would be occupied on Federal soil, Lee urged that BrigadierGeneral John H. Morgan be sent on a raid into Pennsylvania,59 but he argued in vain for this. Early continued to demonstrate vigorously, despite his lack of support, and on July 28 he was able to announce that he had again

forced the enemy across the Potomac and was himself at Kernstown.60
The outlook in the South became gloomy while Early's advance was raising hope in some hearts. General Johnston was manoeuvred from his strong position on Kennesaw Mountain and fell back close to Atlanta. There were hints that he intended to abandon Atlanta, also, and he was most reticent in his communications with the War Department. President Davis had discovered in the winter of 1861‑62 the proclivity of General Johnston for retreating,61 but he was slow now to give

with three children from two different men suddenly demanding that a traditional man step in to look after her:
The woman who posted it has three children from two different men. She is stuck in a mediocre paying, dead-end job. She divorced her first husband because marriage wasn't fun, then shacked up with a series of less and less stable men until she threw the last mooching bum out a year or so ago. She is 40. Now she is seriously looking for Mr. Right and says she won't settle for anything less because she's worth it. The handwriting on her wall was written nearly a decade ago when she had her second and then third illegitimate child: life-long poverty.
A few weeks ago I went for a walk alongMary Street, Hawthorn. It's a particularly well-preserved part of that heritage suburb of Melbourne and I am always struck by its particular spirit of place. You get the sense of it having grown as a protected community: a place full of beautiful family homes, an attractive high street, and fine churches, schools, public buildings and parks. The men who built Hawthorn in its heyday succeeded in creating a protected space within which a community with its own local flavour and life could flourish.
That is the higher male calling, but one from which modern men are largely alienated. There are certainly still many men who work hard to keep their families afloat financially, but not so many who would identify as men with the task of shielding a real,

Absence of interferon activity during acute attacks of familial Mediterranean fever.
The pharmacokinetics of interferon, the symptoms caused by its administration, the decreased prevalence of viral diseases in FMF patients and the fact that colchicine, the drug of choice in the prevention of FMF attacks is an interferon antagonist, raised the question whether interferon may have a role in the pathogenesis of FMF attacks. An interferon activity was not detected in sera obtained at the height of FMF attacks in 8 patients, six of them under colchicine treatment. It is possible that the interferon activity has to be searched at the very beginning of FMF attacks, since at their height it already disappeared from the serum, while the symptoms of the attack are further mediated by other interferon-induced lymphokines.Investigators believe a toy fell onto a bar heater in a Geelong home and caused the fire that led to the deaths of two young girls and put their baby sister in hospital.
The girls' father, Hashem Qorbani, frantically pulled his young daughters, Sana, 3, and Saba, 2, from their smoke-filled bedroom after the fire broke out early on Thursday morning.
He made a mad dash with his daughters to a doctor who lives nearby, before driving them to hospital with their mother, but the girls could not be revived.
The couple's six-month-old daughter, who was sleeping in a separate room, is in hospital being treated for smoke inhalation. Her condition is not life threatening.

When the tilt or obliquity changes the size of the polar caps change. When the tilt is at its highest, the poles receive far more sunlight and for more hours each day. The extra sunlight causes the ice to melt, so much so that it could cover parts of the surface in 10 m of ice. Much evidence has been found for glaciers that probably formed when this tilt-induced climate change occurred.
Research reported in 2009 shows that the ice rich layers of the ice cap match models for Martian climate swings. NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's radar instrument can measure the contrast in electrical properties between layers. The pattern of reflectivity reveals the pattern of material variations within the layers. Radar produced aMy day is so miserable!

Everyone knows what it means to get Zion Williamson, so this season there are a lot of teams in the regular season flagrantly, Cavaliers, Knicks, Suns are representatives, and the probability of the three teams winning the first place is 14%.
As a result, they all missed the first prize. In fact, five teams with a 10% odds of winning the championship were completely cool, the Bulls and the Eagles were not even in the top four, and the sun was sixth.

Donaldson Owe A Fiduciary Duty To Creditors?
Defendants deny that Marion Donaldson owed a fiduciary duty to debtor or its creditors at any time subsequent to confirmation of debtor's plan of reorganization. According to defendants, she resigned as an officer of debtor on April 5, 1990, and transferred her interest in its stock to defendant Dennis Donaldson for valuable consideration.
Defendants are judicially estopped from asserting that Marion Donaldson had terminated her relationship with debtor on April 5, 1990.
The amended disclosure statement and plan of reorganization were approved and confirmed, respectively, in large part because of the representation in debtor's amended disclosure statement that defendants were officers of debtor and would, if necessary, guarantee payments called for by the plan. Serious doubt existed in our mind, as well as inpersuaded that the letter of April 5, 1990, wherein she allegedly resigned from Insulfoams is authentic. There are two such letters dated April 5, 1990, each of which supposedly was notarized by a different individual. One of the letters could not have been notarized on April 5, 1990, as the individual who supposedly notarized it was out of the country on vacation at the time and did not become a notary public until November of 1990. The other was notarized by the secretary of a Butler County Justice of the Peace for these Allegheny County residents. There must be a hundred other notaries in closer proximity.
Defendants' explanation that the letter truly was notarized on April 5, 1990, and that Marion Donaldson had a second letter notarized because she

According to Fox 59, Adams was given 30 days home detention in mid-February for auto theft and resisting charges, 120 days monitored probation and told by the judge that he must attend school.
Almost immediately, Adams broke the conditions of his detention and a probation officer sought a hearing to have him incarcerated.
Judge Gary Chavers set that hearing for April 7, but within a few days, C & C Midwest Firearms was burglarized and Adams later went on a crime spree that culminated in his arrest for Trapuzzano's April 1 shooting, police said.
If Adams had completed his probation without incident, he would have been free of the juvenile justice system by mid-June.

Titans Lose Last-Second Heartbreaker to Aggies
FULLERTON, CA -
Blair Shinoda's jumper in the paint with 10 seconds remaining snapped a 55-all tie and Cal State Fullerton's three-pointer at the buzzer just rimmed out as visiting UC Davis escaped Titan Gym with a 57-55 victory over the Titans on Wednesday night in Fullerton.
The loss was Fullerton's fourth in its last five Big West Conference contests as the Titans fell to 9-12 overall and 2-7 in league play. The Aggies posted their fifth win in their last six outings, improving to 14-7 overall and 6-3 in the Big West.
Senior Lauren Chow tied a season high with 15 points on 5-of-8 from the field, including scoring seven-straight points late in the second half to single handedly erase a six-point deficit andgive Fullerton a one-point, 51-50, lead with 2:28 to play. Shinoda answered with her first basket of the game and a Lauren Juric completed a three-point play to put UC Davis up four, 55-51, with 1:19 remaining.
Sophomore Alex Thomas then took control, scoring inside to make it a two-point game then, after an Aggies turnover, drawing a foul on a three-point try in the left corner for a chance to give Fullerton the lead with 37 seconds to play. Thomas converted only 2-of-3 at the line, however, tying the game and setting up the tense final seconds.
UC Davis drove the ball down court and called a timeout to set up the play for Shinoda, who came across the top of the paint and sank an eight-footer to give

proceed. The resultant form of imperialism was often a confusing, tenuous compromise.
Imperialist relationships are never unidirectional. The peoples of dominated states can have an enormous impact on the dominant state. This was especially clear in those historical cases when imperialism took the form of colonial annexation. Some empires, such as the French, created deep bonds between colonizer and colonized, often with unintended consequences for the metropole. For that reason, colonial administrators frequently took great pains to negotiate all manner of boundaries, especially those having to do with citizenship, race, gender, and sexuality.
Politically, although one state always assumes the dominant position in an imperialist relationship, the social forces active in the dominated state can always struggle to adjust the terms of the relationship. In some cases, these efforts couldnot only revise the imperialist relationship, but force dramatic transformations in the metropole itself. After all, struggles in Algeria ultimately triggered the collapse of the French Fourth Republic in the late 1950s, while national liberation in Lusophone Africa led to revolution in Portugal in the mid-1970s. But this dynamic can even be perceived in non-colonial imperialist relations. Vietnamese resistance to American imperialism, for example, caused substantial turmoil in the United States, supercharging domestic social movements, forcing President Lyndon Johnson not to seek re-election, and ultimately realigning political forces in the country.
Imperialism Between Capitalist Countries
Today, when most people think of imperialist relationships, they generally imagine relations of domination between North American and Western European countries and those in the Global South. That association is so pronounced that imperialism is

to play the two superpowers against each other, alternating between one and the other. In some states, the dominant social forces were genuinely interested in building unity; in others, they only cared to advance their own interests. Despite paeans to unity, many of these states constantly jostled with each other, their disagreements at times erupting in violent conflict. In many cases, they behaved in ways that would be very difficult not to characterize as imperialist.
The unpalatable truth is that 20th-century history is rife with imperialist conflicts between countries that were themselves frequently subjected to imperialist domination. The most obvious case is of course Japan in the 1930s and 1940s. Under the banner of pan-Asianism, Japan proceeded to dominate the rest of the region. While Japanese forces dealt adevastating blow to Dutch imperialism in Indonesia, U.S. imperialism in the Philippines, British imperialism in Malaysia and Singapore, and French imperialism in Indochina during World War Two, in the end, Japan imposed its own set of imperialist relations on these conquered territories. Armed with the rhetoric of anti-imperialism, the country once forced open by U.S. gunboats pursued some of the most violent forms of imperialist aggression imaginable, especially in Korea and China.
But Japan is not alone, and with the proliferation of independent nation-states across the globe since 1945, these kinds of imperialist relationships within the Global South have become widespread. In some cases, they have even led to outright war. Recall, for example, the Sino-Indian War of 1962, the Indo-Pakistani Wars, the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974,

done that.
I'd first played a GameBoy when I was watching the neighbor's kids. They had gotten one shortly after it had come out, and it was much better than the Tiger handheld games I'd had. After putting the kids to bed, I'd spend the rest of the evening downstairs, playing Super Mario Land or Castlevania Adventure until their parents got home.
It wasn't until much later that I finally got my own handheld system. Working in a call center where I could resolve most issues without looking at my screen, I decided to pick up a GameBoy Color during my lunch break. Grabbing that, Link's Awakening, Dragon Warrior I & II, and a few accessories, I was set and I now had something to help the time pass duringdowntimes at work.
When the GameBoy Advance came out, I was ready. I traded in the Game Boy Color and the accessories, got a few GBA games and accessories for the system and was hit with a bit of nostalgia as I felt like I had a portable SNES in my hands. As later games were released, that original thought was supported even further with remakes of Final Fantasy IV and VI.
And it continued forth. The GBA was traded in for the GBA:SP. The SP was saved, primarily for the ability to use it with some GCN games, and the DS Fat was bought. I've considered upgrading the DS to a DSi or DSi XL, but can't really justify the cost, primarily because of the 3DS.

of the joint, which is in contact with a corresponding frusto-conical annular inner seal surface located on the female member of the joint. Due to the tapered seal surface and the definite final assembling position, a radial interference between both surfaces is developed, which by promoting high contact stresses is a guarantee of the seal.
An important technical feature of frusto-conical sealing surfaces is the development of highly concentrated contact stresses on the edge formed by the intersection of the frusto-conical sealing surface of the male member and the cylindrical surface comprised between the seal surface and the threaded zone. The stress distribution along an axial section of a joint of the state of the art is shown in detail in FIG. 6.
The contact stress concentration can be calculatedthe radius of the toroidal surface. The intensity of the contact force could be related to the geometrical interference between male and female sealing surfaces and the dimensions of the male member and female member of the joint.
The patent document U.S. Pat. No. 4,623,173 describes a threaded joint with a toroidal sealing surface of radius larger than 100 mm. Depending on the particular joint dimensions, i.e. its diameter and wall thickness, a sphere-cone seal with high sphere radius could present contact stresses at the seal not high enough to ensure sealing function in operation, increasing the risk of leaks under extreme conditions. On the other hand, if one wants to obviate to this drawback, the usual way to improve seal contact stresses is through the increase of the

Toyota World Rally Championship driver Kris Meeke has issued a public apology to Citroen for allegations that it had influenced a stage stoppage on Rally Mexico.
Meeke briefly took the lead of the event on Saturday when Citroen's Sebastien Ogier slowed with a puncture.
But Ogier's time loss was minimised because the stage was red flagged due to his team-mate Esapekka Lappi's car being judged to be in an unsafe position after a spin that left it beached.
Ogier was awarded a nominal time that kept him in second place, and he retook the lead when Meeke sustained a puncture of his own and suspension damage on the next stage.
The stage was red-flagged despite two cars having successfully made it past Lappi's Citroen beforehand, and LappiHybrid is pleased to have this opportunity to work with Relation Payment

was only one power to deal with, and Russian diplomacy at Peking was equal to the task of obtaining the necessary franchises.
In India, in like manner, the British Government has had ample reasons, commercial and political, for creating the important system of lines that now exists, and that is to be further extended northwestward toward Afghanistan, northeastward into the Yang- tse-Kiang Valley, and ultimately westward across Arabia and Persia to join the Egyptian lines, also under British control. The Russian line across Central Asia beyond the Caspian was constructed in connection with the gradual extension of permanent Russian dominion in Turkestan.
The most interesting field that remains for railway exploitation is that part of Asia which lies south of the Black and Caspian seas and east of the RedSea, into the very heart of which the Persian Gulf juts up from the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean. At the head of the Persian Gulf, where those great parallel streams the Euphrates and the Tigris empty their united waters, modern conditions have made it inevitable that there should be an important seaport and railway rendezvous.
Thus, nearly all the great powers of Europe have been intensely interested of late in what is called the Koweit question. That question grows out of the dispute as to whom sovereignty at the head of the Persian Gulf really belongs. According to all standard atlases, the shore line in question belongs to the Turkish empire. England, however, now puts in claims on the strength of an alleged protectorate over local Arab

the probate court conducted a review hearing. The court retained temporary custody of Gary, but granted appellant visiting privileges of one afternoon a week. Another review hearing was conducted on August 20, 1970. Once again the court retained temporary custody of the boy. However, appellant's visiting privileges were expanded to alternate weekends in her own home.
On October 3, 1970, while visiting his mother for the weekend, Gary was accidentally burned when he stepped on a faulty floor radiator in the bathroom. Although the probate court was satisfied that the incident was an accident, appellant's visiting privileges were suspended, pending elimination of the radiator hazard. At the hearing on October 22, 1970, at which appellant's visiting privileges were suspended, the probate court indicated a willingness to return Gary toinvolved in an automobile accident, perhaps while driving under the influence of alcohol. Appellant did occasionally entertain at her home until rather late and was seen to drink intoxicating beverages. Appellant's third marriage, the current one for purposes of this case, was not particularly stable.
The police officer who investigated the automobile accident in which appellant was involved and the nurse who treated appellant at a local hospital concluded that appellant was drunk because they smelled alcohol and because she was hysterical. The smell of alcohol does not prove intoxication, and hysteria is not an uncommon reaction to involvement in an automobile accident. Appellant's slurred speech may well have been the result of alleged injuries to her mouth. No citation was issued for operating a motor vehicle under the

has hung over the two games for the last eight months but it now looks like Piranha Games, at least, might be able to get free of it.
It all goes back to the development of the anime series Super Dimension Fortress Macross, originally released in Japan in 1982, and a dispute in Japanese court between Tatsunoko Production and Studio Nue. Macross had a troubled production history, and designers Studio Nue partnered first with advertising agency Big West Frontier Co., then later with anime production juggernaut Tatsunoko Production. As part of the development, Studio Nue created 41 character designs as part of working on Macross, including all of the most recognisable mecha and the main human characters.
Despite its production troubles, Macross was a success, which made it attractive tolicensors looking to cash in on an upswing in Western interest in anime in the mid-1980s. Studio Nue and Big West licensed out rights to their 41 designs, Tatsunoko licensed rights to Macross to Harmony Gold, and this overlap of ownership led to the initial conflict between BattleTech maker FASA and Harmony Gold. FASA licensed mech designs from Studio Nue and Harmony Gold claimed the BattleTech company had infringed on its copyright.
However, who held the rights to that first series, Super Dimension Fortress Macross, remained in dispute for decades. Then, in 2002 and 2003, a pair of lawsuits in Japanese court resolved the dispute. The 2002 suit resolved that Studio Nue and Big West co-owned the copyright on their 41 designs for characters and mecha used in that

easily one of the best choices for a short dive trip from Singapore. Located only a 2.5 hours away by air, Bali is an easy weekend getaway with truly world class diving. It's even possible to fly from Singapore to Denpasar after work on a Friday evening, go diving on Saturday, and still get back in time for work on Monday. Airlines such as AirAsia and Jet Star offer regular flights, and if you keep an eye out, you can pick up a round trip ticket from Singapore to Bali for around $100 USD.

Review
'Pacific Rim' is the much anticipated new movie from the movie mastermind known as Guillermo Del Toro. Personally, I can't wait to see it so when I was offered the chance to review this book I was majorly excited but does this book live up to my lofty expectations?
Well, the answer to that is that not only does this book live up to the expectations, it damn well shatters them in to tiny pieces.
There'sreally a variety of stuff here that would have Del Toro fans as well as science fictions fans practically 'geek-gasm' to death. There's concept art, interviews, posters, little tid bits for the characters, the story behind the characters, parts about the special effects used in the movie itself and much more. I could quite literally sit here and list every little thing in here but I still wouldn't be able to do the sheer variety on offer here justice.
One of the things I really liked the most were the parts about the art work used in the movie itself because of the World War 2 style of the posters they use for propaganda. The stories behind the characters and their motives were a great addition as were the

I've been looking forward to the movie version of 'World War Z'people are being forced to leave to
find jobs in the nearest town. Whilst the rest of the community pull
together to try and re-open the fish-factory, Lars begins to plan his

Like all villages, Niaqornat has its supporters and
detractors amongst the local populace. For some it is paradise, they
can't imagine living anywhere else, for others it's the last place on
earth they want to be. For most Niaqornat is simply home. We know that
there are very real pressures on a place like this - the ice is melting,
the government no longer wants to subsidise the supply ship that brings
the food that can't be hunted locally, and people are leaving due to
the lack of work. Village At The End Of The World is a film that

While the first season of the 'Babylon 5' show introduced the characters and the machinations of the station and it's enemies, it's the second season where everything starts to fall in to place.
The new opening credits voice over really makes a difference to the stories in that it foretells some of the darker stories that will heading our way.
Writing wise, the stories are still as multi layered as the first season but it's almost as if the makers of the show have a new found confidence about the show. The stories all start to link to one another through out the season andgives the character of Sheridan, who replaces Sinclair, an air of grace and strength that was missing slightly from that character. He has this calm but strong feel of authority without slipping in to melodrama. I also like how the character of Garibaldi continues to grow as well and we get to see more layers of his character.
One of the things that bothered me the most however was the slightly fuzzy in places transfer. One some episodes, it wasn't that bad but on others, it seemed like there was a sort of film over the sides of some of the scenes. It doesn't make it unwatchable, far from it. It's just down to the age of the film but I really think Warner Brothers could have done a

him in court on more than one thing in
the strict, Government run decade known as the 60's.
Review
Lenny Bruce was never one to sit on the fench with his stand up routines
and opinions. America either thought he was incredibly funny or
incredibly offensive. There never was a middle ground for him.
In the 1960's, the American government decided to take him to court on
many times with each time taking a little bit more from him until his
untimely death. It was a bit like the Communist witch hunts in a way.
While most books about Lenny Bruce seem to portray him as a hero type of
figure, this one does praise Bruce for his fight to uphold the First
Amendment but does this while not glossing over his faults at all. In fact, not onlydoes it praise him for the way he stood up for his rights but it also mentions the times when he was in the wrong or when he was at fault for something. I really thought that was a breath of fresh air on a subject as important as Lenny Bruce.
When I first started to read this, I was worried that because it was
written by two lawyers that it would be bogged down in the details. Far
from it. While there are many parts about the legal process, it never
bores the reader at all. I love how they connect certain parts of his
routines to the legal troubles.
The writing style ensures that it flows nicely from page to page in that it doesn't try to bog the reader down in

few comedians and comediennes. That's why I love the fact that comedy clubs are standing to become more popular. It gives fans a chance to see both their favourites as well as ones they may not have seen before but in a more intimate venue.
We started the night off with a bang. Susan Murray started the evening and would return between acts as the compere. I hadn't seen her live before but after seeing her here I would definitely go to one of her shows. Her quite sarcastic delivery and way of interacting with the crowd was a superb choice as compere because she really got the them excited for each person coming up to perform.
Next up was a comedienne by the name of Debra-Jane Appleby, a Northernfind him as funny as Murray or Appleby, his humor still got quite a few laughs from me, especially the getting hit by a car story. That may not sound funny here but the way he told the story made it sound like he was a mate telling you about his latest exploit. There were a couple of jokes near the middle of his set that didn't work as well for me but he definitely ended with a bang. Another comedian that I wouldn't mind seeing some more of.
Finally, after a second interval and more laughs from Murray, we were treated to a set from the brilliant Jarred Christmas. This is the third time I've seen Christmas and while I'd heard a few of the jokes before, he

has such an easy going personality that his sheer enthusiasm makes it feel like you've not heard them. His witty and sarcastic delivery definitely makes him one of my favourite comedians and he was one of the main highlights for me during the evening.
However, the best part of the evening for me was, by far, Susan Murray. As a compere she managed to get the crowd warmed up so easily that it was almost as if they were eating out of the palm of her hand. Her jokes came thick and fast and often had me in tears of laughter.
All in all, a great night and I strongly urge anyone to get down to their local Just The Tonic club or comedy club in general and see oneof these types of comedy night. While you might not like everyone on the bill, the intimate nature of the performances really give the evening of comedy a personal feel. Considering the Just The Tonic nights are cheaper than a cinema trip, what more could you want? Great value for money and a great venue.

would. I suppose I was just expecting a little more when you consider who was involved with the making of the character.
That said, the story here is hard hitting and well paced. The twist at the end was a bit telegraphed however and that for me, felt a little bit anti-climactic after the action of the previous pages. The story felt like it was building up to a massive revelation yet when it came it just gave me a 'is that it?' feeling and that's a real shame. It wasn't a bad ending or one that has put me off of reading more of the character, it's just that after the brilliant writing of the first two thirds of the story, the ending just felt a little off.

Musical Ink is a portrait project from Toronto-based photographer Jon
Blacker that spotlights 62 musicians and their tattoos. This exciting
volume of imagery not only has something for every musical taste –
featured artists range in genre from heavy metal to hip hop and opera –
the tattoo styles include elaborate sleeves, creative one points, and
traditional Japanese themes.
Each portrait is photographed in black and
white using a special infrared camera, which allows the tattoos to truly
stand out from the skin because while infrared light largely reflects
off of skin, it is absorbed by the tattoo ink, creating a great deal of
contrast between the almost glowing, ethereal appearance of the skin and
the deep blacks and greys of the tattoos.

As someone who wasn't that big a fan of theseen an episode of 'Buffy' show then you might be quite lost during certain places.
That said, there are some absolutely brilliant songs during the story itself. The best of these, in my opinion, was the one sung by the vampire character Spike, played by James Marsters. His ticked off, cynical character gets nearly all of the funny dialogue. Joss Whedon always has been brilliant at giving his characters full personalities no matter how small their part is and it's easy to see why Spike was one of the most popular characters from the show.
The cheesy and camp nature of this episode really makes it a hell of a lot of fun to watch. The songs are all incredibly well suited to the characters that sing them and are

Duke Battling Injuries... The Blue Devils have had their share of injuries in 2013 as Duke has been without starters Cassie Pecht and Gilda Doria for the entire season, while also not having the services of potential starter Alex Straton. Since the season started, starting freshman midfielder Rebecca Quinn went down with a foot injury and missed eight matches. She returned at Boston College and notched an assist. Starting defender Tabria Williford suffered a concussion and a quad injury and is not expected to be available at Maryland. Redshirt junior goalkeeper Meghan Thomas has been dealing with a shoulder injury andhas not played since Aug. 30 against Kennesaw State. She is expected back this week at Maryland. Both Pecht and Doria are likely to miss the entire season, while Quinn is expected back at Boston College, Straton is out for the season, while Williford was injured again versus Virginia and will miss a couple of weeks. Pecht and Doria have combined for 13 goals and 35 assists over their career.
Noting Duke... • Duke has allowed 20 goals on the season, which is five fewer than the Blue Devils allowed all last season and seven more than Duke allowed in 2011 when the Blue Devils advanced to the NCAA College Cup. • The Blue Devils are 0-5 this season when being outshot by an opponent. • Duke freshman Toni

Researchers found that participants who scored higher on the divergent thinking test also exhibited better cognitive control, as measured by their response times and EEG data.
In a second study, the researchers gave 39 participants the divergent thinking test, and they added a test of real-life creativity by asking participants to indicate their real-world achievements in 10 creative domains: visual art, music, dance, architectural design, writing, humor, inventions, scientific discovery, theater and film, and culinary arts.

Acquired valgus deformity of the tibia in children.
Nine cases of acquired valgus deformity following injury to the proximal tibial metaphysis in children are presented. The deformity is of a dual nature, involving both angular deformity and longitudinal overgrowth. The angular component reaches a maximum within 2 years after the injury. There is some indication that the angular component will remain static or spontaneously correct if treated nonoperatively. Treatment intervention in the majority of the cases has precluded an analysis of the natural history of the longitudinal overgrowth. Early intervention in the form of corrective osteotomy during the growth years has resulted in an unacceptably high rate of recurrence of both components of the deformity. Nonoperative treatment seems to be the treatment of choice for the angular component ofpunctured multiple times with a relatively low loss in the integrity of the septum. However, a clinician needs to properly target the access port and a risk of infection may exist as a needle extending into the skin may drag bacteria from the skin into the port.

MISSION and HISTORY
Our mission is to use arts activism, creativity and cultural production to liberate the ways people love, experience the Erotic, and connect to the Sacred. We provide spaces for the exhibition and exploration of sensual awareness, sexual consciousness, erotic power, and pleasure as well as gathering places for people engaged in sexual empowerment to express themselves and enjoy erotic events, demonstrations, and sexuality-related classes.
Our vision is a network of communities, groups, and individuals who are committed to sexual empowerment and erotic liberation. We envision the creation of sexual culture communities within which all of who we are is affirmed, nurtured, and caressed. We envision a global village in which hegemonies and structural inequality based upon gender, sexual identity, class, skin color, physicality, and ethnicity are renderedby marriage. Bridget and Susan were en route to Alabama to pick up Susan's *412 daughter-in-law and this was Bridget's first time driving on Highway 49.
¶ 4. On or about November 2, 1993, the Department had started a maintenance asphalt paving project on the southbound lanes of Highway 49. The project was to be a 1.5 inch overlay over nine miles of the highway. The main overlay work was completed on approximately November 29, 1993. As Bridget and Susan headed south, they suddenly came upon the newly asphalted highway which did not have any yellow side stripe on the left or median margin of the highway, no white edge stripe on the right or shoulder margin of the highway, and only intermittent three to six inch small white

marks placed near the approximate center of the twenty-four foot wide pavement at indeterminate lengths. There was also no temporary center striping of four foot lengths on the highway.
¶ 5. Bridget testified that she was driving on the newly paved highway for a little over a mile when she felt her right tire fall off the road. When Bridget tried to correct the situation, by steering her vehicle back onto the highway, her right front tire blew, causing her to lose control, and ultimately causing her vehicle to overturn.
¶ 6. Ruby Lynn Morris, who lived approximately five and a half miles from the scene of the accident and traversed Highway 49 daily, testified that she had observed Bridget's vehicle go off the road, come back on, and thenoff again, only to then flip and land in a tree. After seeing the accident, Morris pulled over to the side of the road to offer assistance and when she ran down off the pavement, she realized she had to get down off the pavement; it was in fact a step-off. She had to step down five to six and a half inches. Morris also stated that she did not recall seeing any traffic control signs on the day of the accident.
¶ 7. Michael A. Trosclair, Bridget's father, went to the scene on the night of the collision and inspected the entire area and observed that there were no markings or warnings in the project area. He also went back to the project site the next day in

a conventional passive optical network. The burst-mode receiver 100 includes a photodiode 110, a preamplifier 120, a first peak detector 130, a first limiting amplifier 140, a second peak detector 150, a second limiting amplifier 160, an envelope detector 180, a comparator 190, and a buffer 170.
The photodiode 110 converts an upward optical signal received from each optical network unit into electric current, and the preamplifier 120 converts the electric current received from the photodiode 110 into voltage and outputs the voltage.
The first peak detector 130 detects a top-peak value and a bottom-peak value of the voltage converted by the preamplifier 120 and calculates an intermediate value between the top-peak value and the bottom-peak value. The first limiting amplifier 140 differentially amplifies the voltage outputted from the preamplifier120 and the intermediate value of the voltage calculated by the first peak detector 130.
The second peak detector 150 detects a top-peak value and a bottom-peak value of voltage provided from the first limiting amplifier 140, calculates an intermediate value of the two values, and provides the calculated intermediate value to the second limiting amplifier 160. The second limiting amplifier 160 differentially amplifies the intermediate value of the voltage detected by the second peak detector 150 and the voltage which has been differentially amplified by the first limiting amplifier 140 and provides the amplified voltage to the buffer 170.

Moreno, who had no ride last year and, at 44, the oldest driver in the field, finished fifth, the last driver on the lead lap.
It was a strong start for CART's top series, which has struggled through two years of losing top drivers, teams and manufacturers before getting things going in the right direction late last season.
Aside from all the new faces among the drivers, there were five new teams on the grid Sunday. The Mi-Jack Conquest team, owned by former driver Eric Bachelart and Mike Lanigan, was the top finisher among the new teams, with Haberfeld at the wheel.
It's sister team and another newcomer, Fittipaldi-Dingman Racing, was close behind with Monteiro finishing seventh, just behind Jimmy Vasser, the top American in the field.
Bourdais, so impressive in winningthe pole, led the first 30 laps. When the other leaders pitted under caution on lap 16, the Frenchman stayed on the track.
Bourdais, last year's Formula 3000 champion, built a lead of nearly 13 seconds before he finally made his first stop on lap 30. By the time Bourdais returned to the track, Monteiro was on top.
Bourdais had trouble getting up to speed on the slick track and was passed by Tracy and his Player's teammate Patrick Carpentier. As the rookie pushed to stay with the veterans, he brushed one of the concrete walls lining part of the twisting circuit. That broke the left rear suspension and flattened the tire on his Lola, send him to the pits and costing him eight laps.

Henry London is the new kid on the block when it comes to Timepiece brands. It Launched just 6 months ago, but has surpassed all expectations of it surpassing any targets the brand had set to monitor its success and as a result is now available in some 38 countries and rapidly growing.
The story behind the brand, is an interesting one to say the least. It began brand two young, fashion designers exploring London?s vintage districts searching for inspiration. On one such visit to the renowned, Portobello Road street market, in London?s Notting Hill, one of them came across an old, beautifully styled, classic Swiss wristwatch which had the words ?Henry, August 1965? enigmatically engraved on the case back. Although it had suffered the ravages of time, thewatch still typified the craftsmanship and quality of a bygone era and the designer just had to, not only have it, but wear it there and then. Later that day she met up with her partner and he too loved the watch every bit as much as she did. Again, he was inspired by the attention to detail of the old timepiece, and appreciated the fact that this was only found in high-end, luxury watches. He too just had to wear it. With both of them wanting to wear this unique possession, the couple started to think about the possibilities of reinventing Henry?s watch. So in tribute to Henry?s original watch from 1965 and with an approach that emphasises watchmaking heritage, the collections have been reinvented for a

obvious that fans of this style liked simple forms, bold and strict fonts of high readability level, harmonic and geometrically based combinations of details, flat illustrations and clear visual hierarchy. It quickly grew more and more popular in different countries of the world and got its new life in the art of early 21st century.
Although this style got a variety of expressions in the sphere of visual design for print, like posters, stamps, postcards, book covers, magazines etc., it significantly broadened its horizons with the era of digital design, especially in the domain of design for user interfaces. Websites and mobile applications going through dynamic development of creative search opened the amazing and fruitful perspective for this minimalist and functional approach to design solutions. The style got thename «flat design» which became instantly popular and started a new direction in graphic design daring skeuomorphism and «rich design» and supported with new challenges opened by the field of interaction design.
The first step to boosting flat UI popularity in digital products was taken by Microsoft presenting new flat and minimalist style of their products: this movement started in early 2000s and was widely adopted in the products of 2010, in particular in mobile interface design for Windows Phone 7. The basic features of flat design such as intuitive simple shapes, bold clear typography, bright contrast colors, long shadows, absence of complex details and textures found their further development leap in 2013 when Apple released iOS 7 based on the principles of flat graphic as the basis for

memo also noted that these incidents had been reported to the then-principal of the school and to Hass, now LCFS' Northern Illinois director. In addition, one of the plaintiffs, Ms. Tarnoski-Asberry, testified that she had told Nafzger of her sexual harassment problems with Kingsboro in 1989. Moreover, Zaino, a supervisory employee, testified that he too informed Nafzger, the Lutherbrook Director, of Kingsboro's sexual harassment of some of the employees in 1991. Hass testified that he was made aware of the incidents of sexual harassment involving Kingsboro, one involving a high school girl and several others involving the kitchen staff, as early as 1986. He stated that, when he was the director of the school, he had concerns about Kingsboro's sexual harassment. He noted,however, that neither he nor the acting principal, who was also aware of the harassment, put anything in Kingsboro's personnel file regarding the harassment. Finally, the plaintiffs' expert witness, Dr. Brubaker, testified that, given the pervasiveness of Kingsboro's conduct, it was highly unlikely that upper management did not know of the harassment.

There was also evidence that LCFS was lenient in its treatment of Kingsboro in order to protect itself from a race discrimination suit by Kingsboro. LCFS expressed its concern not to move too quickly or harshly against Kingsboro for fear that he might bring a discrimination suit.

As a result, the accurate measurement of the substrate temperature becomes difficult.
Also, the heat conduction from the substrate, absorption of radiation from the substrate by the covering member, and absorption of the irradiated lamp light differ depending on materials used for the covering member. Quartz and silicon carbide are shown as examples. When the quarts is used for the covering member, the light absorption can be restrained, but because the quartz has body heat conduction, the measurement of the substrate temperature is difficult and its thermal responsiveness deteriorates.

National Bank. Two signatures were needed to authorize a withdrawal, and at that time, the authorized signatories were Howe and his mother. In mid-1969, Hamilton-Howe began experiencing serious financial problems. At that time Klotz was made an officer and director of the corporation, and he was given the title of secretary-treasurer. Klotz was never a shareholder, and his new titles had no effect on his job with the corporation.
3
In its palmy days, Hamilton-Howe employed 60 to 70 people and had gross receipts of more than $750,000 per year. By June, 1969, the corporation was in serious financial straits. Howe was scrambling to ease the corporation's cash flow problems; in May, 1969, he obtained a loan from his accountants. Through his accountants,Howe met Albertini and Benedetti, who tried to revive the business. In June, 1969, Albertini and Benedetti guaranteed the corporation's promissory notes upon condition that they be allowed to control the expenditures of Hamilton-Howe. Benedetti's name was added to the list of authorized signatures at the Beverly Hills National Bank, and his signature was required on all checks.
4
Hamilton-Howe failed to pay withholding and payroll taxes after the second quarter of 1969. From July 1, 1969, until the corporation collapsed, approximately $43,000 in withholding and payroll taxes accrued and were unpaid.
5
After July 1, 1969, Klotz became increasingly disenchanted with his job. He was not aware of any of the loan negotiations that were taking place. By mid-August, his relationship with Howe had so far

deteriorated that the two men were not speaking to each other. Klotz was told in mid-August that he was no longer authorized to sign checks for the corporation. When the corporation moved in August, Klotz was not allocated even a desk in the new offices. The firm's bookkeeper testified that Benedetti, during this period, was directing which creditors and suppliers were to be paid and that he was also taking over many of the functions earlier performed by Klotz in billing customers and checking inventory. Klotz was effectively moved out of the corporation in August, 1969, and by September, his only activities were attending one or two corporate meetings. He formally resigned on October 28, 1969.
6
Howe testified that the price of financial supportfrom Benedetti and Albertini was control of the corporate finances. Benedetti was the person who decided what checks were to be issued and to whom. Benedetti contradicted the testimony of Howe and the corporate bookkeeper about the extent of his role in controlling the corporation during July and August, 1969. Albertini's testimony corroborated Benedetti's.
7
During its final days, Hamilton-Howe's financial problems multiplied. The corporation had a contract to decorate two model housing complexes for the Grant Company. In an effort to keep the company alive and complete the contract, the Grant Company financed Hamilton-Howe's current payroll, and during that era, the Grant Company kept records of the payroll and drew checks on its own account not only for the payroll, but for suppliers.

Veteran's lumbar spine disability. The RO found that the
40 percent rating should also have been granted back to
August 1, 1996.
Third, it was determined that an April 2002 rating decision
contained CUE by assigning an effective date of October 11,
1996, for the Veteran's service-connected hypertension.
Instead, the RO found that the effective date of that award
should have been August 1, 1996.
Fourth, the RO determined that the February 2000 rating
decision which granted an increased rating from 10 percent to
30 percent for sleep apnea, retroactively effective from
January 21, 1999, contained CUE with respect to both the
effective date and the assigned rating. In particular, the
RO assigned an even higher 50 percent rating back to October
7, 1996, for this award.
And lastly, the RO determined that the RO's February 2000
decision to assign a 10 percent ratingfor the Veteran's
service-connected GERD with history of peptic ulcer,
retroactively effective from August 1, 1996, constituted CUE
because this disability warranted a 50 percent rating since
that date.
Thus, the cumulative effect of these amendments was that the
Veteran had a combined total rating of 80 percent from August
1, 1996, and a combined total rating of 90 percent from
October 7, 1996. He also had a total rating of 100 percent
for a brief period from May 18, 2001, until August 1, 2001,
but this was only a temporary rating based on knee surgery
and the need for convalescence under 38 C.F.R. § 4.30.
Then, in an August 2004 rating decision, the RO assigned a
higher rating of 70 percent for his service-connected PTSD,
retroactively effective from October 2003. Since this
brought his combined total schedular rating to 100 percent

the then World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz, one of Bush's closest allies, stepped down following a scandal over a promotion and pay rise for his long-term companion who worked at the institution.
At yesterday's meeting with Bush, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and European Commission president José Manuel Barroso hoped to pave the way for an unprecedented summit this autumn to overhaul the global financial regulatory system. In France, as elsewhere in continental Europe, there have been strident calls for a fundamental reform of 'liberal laissez-faire capitalism' in recent days.
Sarkozy has attacked tax havens, hedge and sovereign wealth funds and big pay bonuses for risk-taking executives, as well as the American dominance of ratings agencies. However, Bush and many close aides are not convinced about the need for fundamental reform.
'OurEuropean partners are taking bold steps. They show the world that we're determined to overcome this challenge together. And they have the full support of the United States,' Bush said during a speech at the US Chamber of Commerce last week.
However, the President, who leaves office in January, did not specifically mention calls by European leaders to reform the Bretton Woods financial system under which the world has operated since 1944. White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said that the US focus was on the immediate crisis. 'I think the most important thing we can do is ... stop the bleeding before we move on to the next project,' she said.
Barroso and Sarkozy met Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper on Friday and agreed on the need for an international

The owner of the bus had parked the vehicle, which is valued at S$80,000, in the open-air car park there and left the key inside before locking the door via an external button.
Iskandar managed to break into the bus using this button at about 3am and drove with Wan to pick up three friends from Kebun Baru Community Centre.
He then picked up his girlfriend from Tampines and drove the group around the neighbourhood, before dropping his girlfriend off at her home and driving the remaining friends to Ellington Square in Ang Mo Kio at about 6am.
About an hour later, the bus owner realised thathis vehicle was missing and made a police report, saying his colleague had seen the bus in Ang Mo Kio.
DROVE FRIENDS TO CEMETERY IN STOLEN VAN
On Apr 8, a few days after Iskandar stole the bus, he met up with his group of friends again in Ang Mo Kio and said he would find another vehicle for a joyride.
Accompanied by Wan, Iskandar went to 5 Ang Mo Kio Industrial Park 2A, where a white Toyota van was parked. The owner had locked the van using a remote control and the key was in the driver's door compartment.
Iskandar broke into the van past midnight on Apr 9 and drove it along with Wan to where their other five friends were waiting. To make room for his friends, he threw

some sanitary bins that had been inside the van out along the road.
First, Iskandar drove his friends to Ho Ching Road to pick up his ex-girlfriend before going to Pusara Aman Cemetery in Jalan Bahar.
After this, Iskandar drove back to Ho Ching Road to drop his ex-girlfriend off. However, while on the way there, he saw a police vehicle and stopped the van, asking his friends to alight and cover their faces.
After the police vehicle left the scene, the group returned to the van and proceeded to Ho Ching Road where Iskandar's ex-girlfriend alighted.
The rest of them alighted in Ang Mo Kio and Iskandar stole a pouch from the van containing S$90 in cash, a cash card with S$20 in value, as well as work permits and drivinglicences before parking it nearby.
He took his friends out for another joyride in the van later that night at about 11pm, driving them to the cemetery again before going to Marina Bay and East Coast Park.
Police officers found the van at Block 260B Ang Mo Kio Street 21 on Apr 11 after the van owner filed a police report. Iskandar was remanded four days later.
Reformative training is a harsher punishment than probation, and is given to offenders younger than 21, detaining them in a structured environment with an emphasis on rehabilitation.

Dose assessment for the Metlino and Muslyumovo populations who lived along the Techa river from 1949 to 1954.
In the period from 1949 to 1956, liquid radioactive waste was routinely and accidentally discharged by the Mayak Production Association, Southern Urals, Russia, into the Techa river. Based on a novel approach, the contamination of the Techa river water, the bottom sediments and the adjacent flood plains was modelled, and internal and external doses were estimated for two villages located downstream of the site of liquid radioactive waste release. Altogether, 11 radionuclides that occurred in the liquid radioactive waste were included in the calculations. The results suggest significantly higher doses than previously assumed, with the major contribution in the year 1951. Radionuclides with half-lives of less than 1 year, such asTwo brothers and sisters whose other brother lay dead in their home in a Friesland village for four years, will not face prosecution, the public prosecution department said on Friday.
Research has failed to show when and how the man died, Nos news said.
The man had told his siblings he wanted to be left alone in 2006 and no-one disturbed him until last year when renovation work was about to be carried out on their home.

At the time of the hearing, Nicole was over 14 years of age. The record shows that she is extremely bright and performs well scholastically. She has a pleasant personality and makes friends easily. At the hearing, she expressed a strong preference *696 to live with her father and older sister in Nebraska. She is not a child who is very young and unable to make a reasoned decision.
Another substantial contact which both the respondent and Nicole have with Nebraska is the fact that the Sarpy County District Court and Judge Thompson have been involved in this case sincethe original divorce petition was filed in May 1985. Judge Thompson heard the modification application which resulted in the June 1986 order modifying the decree, and granted custody of the oldest daughter to the father. This is the third time the parties have been before this district court and this district court judge.
The respondent is employed by Fruehauf Corporation and has rejected several promotions so that he would not have to move from Nebraska. He has consistently exercised his visitation rights.
The petitioner has remarried, and Nicole has had difficulty with the petitioner's new husband. Some friction has developed between Nicole and her mother and the two younger sisters.

A massive futuristic office complex is rising from a patch of spare, arid land here near the southern Indian city of Chennai. Six butterfly-shaped buildings dock like spacecraft to two long metal-latticed terminals.
About 12,000 people already work at the campus, being built by India�s largest technology company, Tata Consultancy Services. It eventually will have space for 24,000 of Tata�s nearly 180,000 employees.
Meanwhile Infosys, one of Tata�s biggest competitors, has added a corporate campus for 15,000 employees with buildings that resemble the Parthenon, the Coliseum and the Louvre�s glass pyramid. Infosys plans to build an additional 10 million square feet of custom office space by mid-2012, at various sites, adding 25,000 workers to its current 122,000.
It is all part of a construction spree by India�s outsourcing companies, which aregrowing at a breakneck pace after the lull caused by the global financial crisis in 2008 and 2009.
But the building boom is about more than making room for more workers.
The outsourcing giants, which include Wipro and others, hope that architectural sizzle can help them compete for the nation�s top software programmers, while also burnishing their reputations with overseas clients and prospective customers.
In this nation where world-class high-tech companies co-exist with urban slums and rural poverty, employers like Tata, Infosys and Wipro have set out to create avant-garde, environmentally smart corporate sanctuaries.
And even if some architects and critics complain about the wisdom and taste of the efforts, the executives behind the building boom say their ambitious projects put a modern face on Indian business.

at Infosys, which has 15 campuses around India, said his company�s eclectic mix of designs from all over the world reflected this nation�s inclusive sensibility. �One singular thing is monotonous,� he said. �In India, we are a colorful people.�
Like China a decade earlier, India appears to be at that phase of economic development where buildings are meant to help advertise the nation�s arrival on the world stage. But unlike China, where the government and state-owned corporations took the lead, private companies in India have headed the charge � not the government, which struggles to execute even basic construction projects.
And within India�s business world, technology companies have been more adventurous than others, perhaps because of their outsize financial success and their need to hire tens of thousands of workersto write software for foreign clients. State and federal governments are aiding the effort by offering these companies generous tax incentives and choice pieces of real estate to build big campuses.
Competition for employees is intense, because while India produces about 500,000 engineers every year, most colleges provide such poor education that the industry says that just a quarter of graduates are employable. But among those most qualified � typically graduates of elite places like the Indian Institutes of Technology and Birla Institute of Technology and Science � as many as 18 percent leave for other jobs every year. The outsourcing companies see lavish, environmentally friendly campuses as a way to help attract and retain the best and brightest workers.
With their manicured lawns, power generators and lakes, the campuses

are a noticeable improvement on most engineering colleges, which suffer from India�s standard infrastructure deficiencies � blackouts, water shortages and poor maintenance.
�I prefer a big campus,� said Aditya Mathur, a software engineer, 23, who joined Wipro a year ago, and now works at a four-year-old office in Gurgaon, south of New Delhi, as a software tester. �The facilities are better in a big campus.�
Tata Consultancy Services � or T.C.S., as the company is known � is spending $200 million on its Siruseri campus and has hired the Uruguayan-born Canadian architect Carlos A. Ott, who designed the opera house on the Place de la Bastille in Paris. The company is also building big campuses in Ahemdabad, Pune, Calcutta and Hyderabad.
But some critics say that too many of the industry�sin Mumbai and Boston.
Mr. Pai of Infosys said he was unconcerned about such criticism. He said the people who mattered to the company � employees and customers � raved about its buildings, particularly those that resembled landmarks like the Coliseum at its new campus in the city of Mysore. �They like the fact that it�s so diverse,� he said.
Infosys probably set the standard for ambitious corporate campuses in India more than a decade ago. Many other companies grew helter-skelter wherever they could find space. But Infosys started building large complexes, beginning with its first campus on the southern edge of Bangalore, its home city, in 1995, just a few years after India started to open its economy to the rest of the world.

its isolation, against Israel's wishes. However in the long run, an Egyptian rapprochement with Hamas is unlikely to be in Iran's interest.
In fact, when it comes to influence over Hamas, Iran's leaders would be right to be concerned that Egypt could overtake the Islamic Republic. Egyptian aspirations aside, there are several factors that could pull Hamas toward Egypt and away from Iran.
First and foremost is geographical proximity. Unlike Iran, Egypt and Gaza share a border.
We also have to consider the position of Egypt versus the position of Iran in the international community. Egypt has much better relations with the European Union and the United States than Iran does.
There is also Tehran's more isolated position regionally, due to the escalation in the cold war between Iran and Saudi Arabia.Iran made it easy for Jerusalem to isolate the organization abroad, due to Iran's own isolation in the international community. The organization's links with Iran also angered the rival Saudis, much to Israel's advantage.
But being close to Egypt will change the rules of the game. When it comes to the perception of Egypt in the international community and in the Middle East, it is in a different league from Iran, thus making it more difficult for Israel to isolate Hamas. And if Egypt manages to negotiate a power-sharing agreement between the PLO and Hamas, then all the worst for both Israel and Iran, which vehemently opposes the PLO.
The governments of Iran and Israel are divided over many matters. However, the ongoing changes in the Middle East are providing

BEIJING - A man buys a knife in a Beijing supermarket and randomly attacks customers with it, including a baby; another steals a knife from a roadside snack bar and starts attacking passersby; a third gets into an argument with a woman, picks her 2-year-old girl out of her stroller and smashes her baby to the ground, killing her.
A spate of deadly knife attacks and other apparently random acts of violence in the past few days - many of them in the capital - has rattled the Chinese government and has many Chinese citizens wondering loudly what is becoming of their society.
Police officers survey the scene after a man in a wheelchair set off a homemade bomb at Beijing Airport..
Some incidents seem to have had political overtones. Adisabled man in a wheelchair who detonated a homemade bomb in Beijing's airport on July 20 was apparently protesting because he had been beaten and paralyzed by security guards many years before and his complaints had been ignored.
Another who rushed into a Family Planning Bureau in Guangxi province and killed two officials last week may have been unhappy because the office, which is in charge of enforcing China's controversial one-child policy, had refused to register the birth of his fourth daughter, according to media reports.

rod head by means of a screw connection, which passes through a central fastening opening in the diaphragm. Such a thrust washer clamp has, however, a central inelastic area of the diaphragm as a consequence, whereby the stroke volume is reduced, and the output of the previously known microdiaphragm pump is restricted.
One has thus also created a microdiaphragm pump, in which the diaphragm with its peripheral edge area clamped in the pump head form-lockingly encloses a connecting rod head with an approximately T-shaped cross section. Through this form-locking connection of the diaphragm on the connecting rod head, the previously mentioned thrust washer clamping of the diaphragm can be dispensed with. This previously known microdiaphragm pump has a greater stroke volume, since the diaphragm is also elastic in itscentral area. During operation of the previously known microdiaphragm pump, the diaphragm moves back and forth on the connecting rod head surrounded by it, which is associated with an additional flexing work activity of the diaphragm.
From DE 33 11 104 A1 a diaphragm pump of the type mentioned at the beginning is already known, whose diaphragm has an undercut fastening opening on the diaphragm underside facing away from the compression chamber. This fastening opening is connected with the complementarily formed attachment end of a connecting rod. On the attachment end of the connecting rod a fastening projection is provided for this, which is molded into the fastening opening. The fastening projection extends beyond a support surface situated on the attachment end of the connecting rod, which serves for

This invention relates generally to a performance enhancing and force absorbing dental appliance for use by athletes, and more particularly to such an appliance that spaces apart the teeth to absorb shock and clenching stress, to space apart the anterior teeth of the lower and upper jaws to facilitate breathing and speech, to lessen condyle pressure, force and impact upon the cartilage and temporomandibular joints, the arteries and the nerves, and to further increase body muscular strength and endurance.
Almost all athletes, such as body builders, weight lifters, baseball batters, golfers, football players, hockey players and bowlers, clench their teeth during exertion which results in hundreds of pounds of compressed force exerted from the lower jaw onto the upper jaw. This clenching force is unevenly transmitted through the jawButler's Drew Roberts, left, is unable to apply the tag on Mooresville's Blake Burchett, right, as he gets a face full of dirt as he dives into second base during second round action of the NCHSAA 4A West Division round of 32 play on Thursday, May 11, 2017.

Berkovich's section 1983 and pendent state law claims in their entirety. The questions presented on appeal are whether the district court committed reversible error in denying a discovery request, in excluding certain evidence at trial, in failing to give Berkovich a fair trial, and in denying his motion to set aside the jury verdict.
2
We affirm.
BACKGROUND
3
The jury heard the following evidence. Early in the morning of March 22, 1985, two New York City police officers, defendants Winslow Hicks and Stephen G. Tate, were patrolling a section of Brooklyn, New York near Lincoln Terrace Park. At 3:15 a.m., the officers observed Vladimir Berkovich sitting in a parked car on Buffalo Avenue. The interior light in the car was lit and the officers noticed that Berkovich washolding something near his face. As they drove up to Berkovich's car, they saw Berkovich holding a clear cellophane bag containing a white powder. The officers left the police car and approached Berkovich. They asked him for identification and seized the powder. According to Berkovich, Hicks tasted the powder, a fact that Hicks and Tate both denied. Berkovich reluctantly got out of the car, threatening, he testified, to complain about the stop. Tate then frisked him, placed him under arrest for possession of an illegal substance, and handcuffed him.

Hicks drove Berkovich to the stationhouse, while Tate followed in Berkovich's car. During the drive to the precinct, Berkovich testified, he warned Hicks that he would complain about the arrest. Hicks did

The case first went to trial before Judge Costantino on November 13, 1989. On November 16, however, during cross-examination of Berkovich's expert pathologist, Dr. Laurence Alper, defense counsel elicited evidence that Dr. Alper's files contained a report of the Liman Commission. The Liman Commission report included an investigation of, among other things, the alleged responsibility of defendant Hicks in a shooting death. As a result, Judge Costantino granted defendants' motion for a mistrial on November 20, 1989. The retrial was scheduled before Judge Tsoucalas. After an eight day trial in December 1989, the jury returned a unanimous verdict for the three defendants on all claims. The district court orally denied Berkovich's motion to set aside the jury's verdict. Thisthe airport terminal, unable to go back to Krakozhia, but also unable to enter the USA.
The film traces his months of residency inside the terminal building, his burgeoning friendships with staff, his struggle for survival as he learns English and his patient forbearance in adversity. In the terminal, he finds a job, meets his dream woman but also makes some enemies in high places. It is a microcosm that reflects society and also is a statement about our prejudices and our way of looking at people with suspicion when they are different from us. We question their motives, suspect hidden agendas and we are prepared to do our utmost to frustrate their supposed nefarious activities.

World's biggest Koran
Turning over a huge new leaf : World's biggest Koran with 7ft-high pages is unveiled in Afghanistan
The completion of the world's largest Koran was hailed as a major achievement for the Afghanistan when it was officially unveiled in the nation's capital.Measuring more than 7ft long and 10ft wide, the text's 218 pages are decorated in 30 different calligraphy designs and took almost five years to finish.Its inauguration ceremony was held yesterday in front of key religious figures, clerics, scholars and government officials to coincide with the opening of Hakim Nasir Khusraw Balkhi Cultural Center and arts exhibition in Kabul.The project was inspired and sponsored by His Excellency Alhaj Syed Mansoor Naderi, a well-known religious personality and leader of the Shia Ismailies in Afghanistan,it was reported on Khaama Press.Calligrapher Mohammad Saber Yaqoti Hussaini Khedri and his students started the composition in September 2004, which involved at least two years of continuous work for the shafting and archiving.Speaking at yesterday's ceremony, Mansoor Naderi described the completion of the book as a major achievement for the Afghan nation and all Muslims around the world, according to Khaama Press.Those behind the project were then handed Appreciation Letters by Afghan Senate House speaker Fazal Hadi Muslimyar.The Koran is the central religious text of Islam and is a record of the exact words revealed by God through the Angel Gabriel to Muhammad.Muslims believe it was periodically revealed to Muhammad over the 23 years before his death at the age of 40 in 632AD.It is divided into

country lies in Rabat. The Islamic culture you see here today is not originated from their ancestors, the Berbers. It was the Arabs who introduced Islam in the 7th cnetury as they made their invasion to this country.
In the later stage of the second millennium, the Berbers was known as the earliest settlers in this region. They had a crucial role in preventing the Roman occupation. Despite the fact that the Roman occupied most of the exterior of the region, the Berbers managed to keep the High Atlas Mountains and Rif Mountains untouched. The Moroccan Berbers had done the same thing as the Vandals and Byzantine forces came to invade the region. Later in the early 1900, the French colonized this country. Their long occupation can be seenon the biggest cities in Morocco, Rabat and Casablanca, which were designed in French style.
The diversity of the culture in this country was shaped by the influences of various regimes. In the end, you can now see a truly beautiful country that attracts millions of international tourists every year.

be carrying us straight into empty air, Traiben offered to describe for me the scene he had witnessed. I gave him so terrible a look that he shrank away from me, and it was hours before he would come near me again.
* * *
We were into the fog zone now. It **** lay all about us like a thick woolen cloak, and we walked as though **** we were traveling ever deeper into a dream.
This was the end of all our striving, the last stage of our long journey. We all knew it; and no one spoke, no one violated the sanctity of the moment. Indeed we were as calm as dead men as we made our way up the final fang of the great mountain.
Behind us everythingthough, for further speculations. For these apish Summit-dwellers, having noticed finally that a group of strangers had come over the horizon of their little domain, were turning their attention to us. Suddenly we were under attack. Shrieking shrilly, prancing and cavorting, they shook their fists at us, spat into the wind, scooped up handfuls of pebbles and flung them at us. Nor did they throw only pebbles. A fair-sized rock struck Malti in the shoulder and knocked her down. Another hit Narril in the cheek, and he dropped into a crouch, covering his face with his hands. I spun around quickly as a sharp three-sided chunk of stone went whizzing past my ear, but as I did a second one caught me in the flat of the back

the guildhall. My father had judged me too young to see them. Today's performance would be at the Green Man Inn. Today, because the house of Shakespeare must be seen to hold its head high as Caesar's horse, I would see it too.
There'd be noble clothes and sword fights and perchance a dancing bear. Ned's uncle's cousin the carter had seen a play in London. He said an actor died in front of them, there on the tavern floor, all daubed in gore, yet stood again full of life at the play's end to make his bow. Would Ned be at the play too? He hadn't been at school the past week. My doubts fled like autumn swallows as I scrambled to find my least darned stockings. Lifeand as a player, not bound to any master, I would be free too, to visit home, returning to its comforts, and my son.
I knelt, to meet his eyes. 'I will bring you stories, and much more.'
'What?' he asked solemnly.
'Why, I do not know yet, for I've not seen London, nor the world. What do you wish for?'
'An elephant,' he stated.
My father laughed. 'How has the boy learnt of elephants?'
My son put his small hand in mine. 'From Father. He said if I wish to stop elephants from charging, I must tie their tails together.'
I grinned. 'I but told him a story from Pliny's book.' I turned to Hamnet again. 'An elephant may be a trifle big for thee.'
'Will, are you coming?' called Richard.
And so I left.
We walked.

Mitochondrial dysfunction in myasthenia gravis. Report of a case.
The case of an 11-year-old boy with external ophthalmoparesia, tetraparesia and bilateral eyelid ptosis is reported. He was 7-years-old when first symptoms appeared. Anticholinesterasic drugs were used. He was submitted to muscle biopsy. The results of histochemistry analysis showed storage of granulous material at the subsarcolemmal region of muscle fibers by SDH. Increase in the number of mitochondria with electron dense bodies was found at electron microscopy. Anticholinesterasic drugs administration was interrupted and consequently he got worse, and bouts of dyspnea occurred. Due to this worsening anticholinesterasic agents were reintroduced together with prednisone, and he improved. Due to clinical and histological expressions we think it is possible that morphological mitochondrial alterations may occur also in myasthenia gravis.pre-diabetes. The clinical trial is expected to start this month. APC also will collaborate with Boston Therapeutics who signed an agreement with the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston to be the lead clinical site of a Phase II study of BTI-320.
Under the terms of the original agreement, SDCL can market sugardown in China, Hong Kong and Macau. In 2014, the agreement was expanded to include Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Philippines, Myanmar, Indonesia, Laos, Brunei and Cambodia. APC already has been granted marketing approval in Singapore, Macau, and Korea and Hong Kong as well. The mainland China registration will enter the clinical testing phase this year with a projected approval tentatively set for 2016.

drug release of the tetrandrine-loaded PDLLA film in vitro showed two phases with a second release peak. Ultimately, the duration of continuous delivery was up to 66 days and the cumulative delivery rate was up to 93.18%. Scores for the proliferation of epidural scars or adhesion of the dura mater in the test group were much lower than those for the two control groups. Histological analysis revealed the test group had fewer inflammatory cells and fibroblasts, as well as fewer extracellular collagen fibers, and a lower histology score than those of the two control groups at all time points. Tetrandrine-loaded PDLLA film is a novel controlled drug release and anti-adhesion material in vitro and in vivo.Express News Service By
Mystery shrouds the mutilated body parts found in a black suitcase, a gunny bag and another bag on the Hirakud Express at the Vizag railway station in the early hours of March 26. But while ambiguity over the situation continues to mount, the police are as clueless over the find as they were over a similar case where body parts were found in abandoned bags between platforms 5 and 6 at the railway station in July last year.
On March 26, the police received information about body parts of an unidentified person packed in a suitcase, a gunny bag and a gift bag on the Hirakund Express upon arriving at the Vizag station. A cleaner found the black suitcase which was left unattended in the coach

hit for a boundary by Ansu S Raju. What is more embarrassing for the team from North East is that they had won the toss and chose to bat first. Nagaland were all out in 17 overs. Meanwhile, Kerala skipper Minni Mani had picked up four wickets without conceding a run off her four overs.
However, despite registering this unreal win, Kerala failed to qualify for the last-four stage, as they managed to win just two matches out of five games they played. Meanwhile, Nagaland can feel good from the fact that they were not the only team to be embarrassed by their performance on the day. At the Keenan Stadium in Jamshedpur, Bihar also won the toss and opted to bat against Bengal, only to be all outloan from
Union Bank and Trust, which later became Harlan National Bank. The bank filed a mortgage
against both parcels to secure repayment of the loan. In March 2000, the Hensleys refinanced the
Harlan National Bank loan with a loan from Kentucky Finance Company, Inc., which later
merged into Associates First Capital. This refinance transaction is the crux of the dispute.
The parties executed and filed a mortgage as part of the refinance. The mortgage listed

the parcel at 1083 Winchester Road as security for the loan. In February 2010, Associates First

and one touchdown in the Vikings' 23-10, Week 6 win over the Packers, adding five catches for 30 yards and a second touchdown on six targets.
Latavius Murray again got the start, and the two split carries pretty evenly 16-15, but it was McKinnon making all the plays for the second straight week. He out-gained Murray 99-37 in total yards and scored the goal-line plunge on the ground on third down after Murray was stuffed on first down. McKinnon just makes plays happen when the ball is in his hands, and he created it all on his 30-yard receiving score on a screen. McKinnon will be an upside RB2 next week at home versus Baltimore.Lafayette Leopards

his color lighter, lighting up the color in the room and washing away the gray, maybe that would wash away the world they're in now and allow them to escape back to the color world. He figures it's worth a shot, however the lighter flicks once and then runs out of liquid. Suddenly the whole room hears the sound of the elevator. The black and white kids cheer, their friend who escaped finally came back for them! The elevator door opens and Tommy greets Greta outloud, but who should appear but Thalia!
Thalia jumps out of the elevator and hugs her black and white friends. They welcome her back and are very excited to see her again. While she's carrying on, the elevator door closes behind her. Tommy groans,they'll never get back now he cries. Thalia explains that she escaped into the color world after she found an old tube of lipstick in her purse. The lipstick still had color, and when she rubbed it on the wall, it formed a hole between the black and white world and the color one. However, as soon as she went through the hole, it closed up. Ever since, she's been trying to figure out how to get back to the black and white world. Her body was stuck in black and white, which is why she had to dye her hair blonde and wear make-up and lipstick, to cover up the gray skin. She realizes that she'll never be able to be a part of the color world,

she belongs in the black and white world. But she can still help Tommy and Ben.
She rubs a bunch of the lipstick on the wall and Tommy and Ben jump through the hole. Before the hole closes up, Thalia asks that they never forget her. The two boys examine each other: their color has returned! The two make their way back to the dance.
But the Twist is:The principal is very glad to see Tommy and Ben, they're just in time for the dance's picture to be shot by the professional photographer the school's hired, Mr. Chameleon. Before Tommy and Ben can register this, Mr. Chameleon snaps the flash of his camera.
the Platonic Boy-Girl Relationship:Tommy Frazer and Thalia Harpert-Rodis, who disappears halfway through the twentieth century.
Questionable Teaching:When Tommy tellshis teacher that he's hearing voices asking for help, the teacher mocks him in front of the entire class.
Cheap Grandparent Alert:Tommy's grandfather gives him a red plastic lighter on his deathbed.
R.L. Stine Shows He is Down With the Kids:When their teacher leaves the room, one of the kids produces a boombox from under his desk and kicks out some party music. A boombox.
Foreshadowing Alert:Number of times Thalia is described applying her lipstick: 6.This doesn't sound like a lot, but keep in mind she's only actually in the book for like 20 pages.
Self-Reflexivity Alert:Tommy says he likes Ray Bradbury stories because of the twist endings.

Make of that what you will.
I read this one when I was a kid, and agree that the black-and-white world was genuinely creepy and disturbing.
I read All Summer in a Day when I was in middle school. It was one of my favorite short stories at the time which made me really appreciate The Haunted School as it was clearly influenced by Ray Bradbury's story.
I saw Thalia being one of the gray children from a mile away, but that's forgivable.
By the way, Mr. Chameleon brought the kids into the gray world using an evil flashbulb. I guess Spidey hadn't yet invented the Evil Camera from Goosebumps #5: The Curse of the Mummy's Tombmature, and evolve over time into the pathways of scientific investigation and discovery that will help shape the future of our society.

acquittal was sustained on behalf of the defendant Thomas, and the jury could not reach a verdict as to appellant and his brother and was discharged. Thereafter the two brothers were again tried, and the jury found Albert Murray not guilty and the appellant guilty.

The government introduced in evidence at the second trial of the two accused a quantity of currency which had been seized during the course of a search of a building located at 3411 Michigan Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri. This evidence was the subject of a motion to suppress which was heard before the first trial of the appellant and his brother. The arguments on this motion concerned primarily the question as to whether or not the arrest of the brother, Albert Murray, waslegal. It was argued by the Government on that occasion that the money was found through a search which was incidental to the arrest of Albert Murray. The appellant during the course of the second trial objected to the introduction of this evidence on the ground that it was the result of an illegal search and seizure of his home, and based his motion for a new trial on the same ground. The question on the motion for a new trial, and before us on this appeal, thus concerns primarily the legality of a search as to this particular appellant.

still warm. In this car were billfolds of this appellant and of his brother, Henry Lee Murray. This identification led the officers to 3421 Michigan Avenue, Kansas City, Missouri. This address was the home of the mother and stepfather of the appellant. The officers then went to 3411 Michigan Avenue which was several houses from the original address, and upon entering a second floor apartment on these premises, the officers found and arrested Albert Murray. There was no warrant for the arrest nor for the search of the premises. The officers searched the second floor, and concealed in a hole under a bathroom floor was found the currency which was subsequently introduced in evidence. A portion of the money was wrapped in tape bearing a teller's stamp fromthe Mission State Bank and was further identified as coming from the cash drawer which had been burglarized. The introduction of this evidence is the subject of this appeal.
5
At about the same time that this search was made of 3411 Michigan Avenue, the appellant was arrested in the vicinity of the car which the officers had found near the scene of the crime. The appellant and the former defendant, R. L. Thomas, were driving past this car when arrested.
6
The record shows that R. L. Thomas, who was an accused in the first trial, rented three rooms of the second floor of 3411 Michigan Avenue. The building there located was owned by the mother of the appellant and his stepfather. There were tenants on the first floor of the

building which was formerly a residence. The record also shows that a bedroom and perhaps some additional space on the second floor was not rented, but was used by the appellant and his brothers from time to time, together with the Thomas apartment.
7
The argument of the appellant on the introduction of the money in evidence, upon the motion for a new trial, and on this appeal is that the currency was obtained by an illegal search of 3411 Michigan Avenue. Appellant claims this was his home, his house, or his living quarters, which were protected from the search by the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. The initial question is whether or not this appellant had a personal right to have the premises protected againstthe search under the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution.
8
The trial court ruled that the appellant's constitutional rights were not violated by the search. A number of witnesses testified as to the use which the appellant and his brothers made of the premises searched. The testimony does not indicate whether the bathroom where the money was found was part of the space rented to the tenant, whether it was for the common use of the second floor, or whether appellant ever used it on his visits. The three rooms rented by R. L. Thomas consisted of a bedroom, livingroom, and kitchen on the second floor. The record shows that there was at least an additional bedroom and one bathroom on this floor. The appellant and his brothers used at
