only about 30 minutes then his legs would get numb and his back would hurt so much that he would have to get up. He thought he could stand for only about 10 minutes because his legs start hurting, and they shake. He believed that he could walk about 200 feet, then he would be completely out of breath and his legs would be tired. When going up and down stairs his knees buckle. Plaintiff estimated he could lift 25 to 30 pounds.
On September 15, 1978 Dr. Louis J. Jindra reported that he had first examined Mr. New on May 10, 1978. Plaintiff suffers from dyspnea. Dr. Jindra diagnosed chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and exogenous obesity. On March 28, 1978 Dr. R.C. Estrada examined plaintiff at the request ofa day. He was also treated for tuberculosis in 1973. The hospital report states that plaintiff becomes short of breath on exertion after walking 100 yards. On physical examination he had a mildly increased AP chest diameter. Diffuse sibulant and sonerous rhonchi were heard on ausculation together with a prolonged expiratory time on the fourth expiration.
Although plaintiff complains of back and leg pain, the medical evidence of record indicates that he suffers from lumbosacral strain. Dr. Estrada reported that a neurological examination was negative. There was no evidence of muscle spasm. Straight leg raising was negative. Plaintiff had a reasonably good range of motion in his lumbar spine. He was able to walk on his heels and toes. Plaintiff's treating orthopedic physician, Dr. Richard M. Ward, had plaintiff

should have asked Dr. Jindra to specifically comment on Mr. New's nervousness because he testified at the hearing before the administrative law judge that he had discussed his nervous condition with Dr. Jindra.
Dr. Jindra did indicate his diagnosis of plaintiff in his report to the Secretary. Plaintiff has the burden of presenting evidence of disability. Although plaintiff was not represented by counsel before the administrative law judge, he was represented by counsel on the appeal to the Appeals Council. If Dr. Jindra had inadvertently failed to include information concerning plaintiff's nervous condition, then counsel *725 could have brought that information to the attention of the Appeals Council.
Moreover, there was considerable other evidence in the record that plaintiff's nervous condition does not amount to a severely limiting impairment. Dailyrelief, but that he nonetheless did not take Talwin daily despite his testimony that he was in constant, severe pain. Under these circumstances, the administrative law judge's comment on his sporadic pain medication was not error.
Plaintiff did testify, overall, that his daily activities were limited. Nonetheless, he did admit to quite a bit of daily activity. He drives to the store once a day, and he drives to visit a neighbor once a day. Although he watches some television, he normally goes outside and occupies himself there for some portion of each day. The administrative law judge had the right to consider plaintiff's account of his daily activities in reaching his determination on the issue of credibility.
Finally, plaintiff contends that there was not substantial evidence in the record

This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority from the prior Japanese Patent Applications No. 2000-133516, filed May 2, 2000; and No. 2001-003923, filed Jan. 11, 2001, the entire contents of both of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to a developing apparatus having a toner container for storing toner and a developing roller incorporated in the toner container, and to an electronic photographing apparatus, such as a laser printer or a copying machine, incorporating the developing apparatus. More specifically, the present invention relates to a structure for preventing toner from spilling from the toner container, when the toner pressure in the toner container is increased.
An electronic photographing apparatus, such as a laser printer, comprises a photosensitive drum having a surface onwhich an electrostatic latent image is formed, a developing apparatus for developing the electrostatic latent image to a toner image, and a transferring apparatus for transferring the toner image to a recording paper sheet.
The developing apparatus for use in this type of electronic photographing apparatus has a toner container for storing toner. The toner container has an opening portion, which faces the photosensitive drum. A developing roller and a developing plate are located in the opening portion. The developing roller is arranged parallel to the photosensitive drum. The developing roller incorporates a magnet roller. Owing to the magnetic force of the magnet roller, toner is attracted to the peripheral surface of the developing roller. As the developing roller rotates, the toner adhered to the peripheral surface of the

|
developing roller is guided to a developing position between the developing roller and the photosensitive drum.
The function of the developing plate is to make a toner layer adhered to the peripheral surface of the developing roller uniform in thickness. The developing plate is arranged at a position opposite from the developing position in the direction of rotation of the developing roller.
With the developing apparatus described above, the toner adhered to the peripheral surface of the developing roller is first guided to the developing plate as the developing roller rotates, and excess toner is scraped off by the plate. As a result, a thin uniform toner layer is formed on the peripheral surface of the developing roller. The toner layer is guided to the developing position by the rotationof the developing roller, and adhered to the surface of the photosensitive drum at this position. Consequently, the electrostatic latent image on the surface of the photosensitive drum is developed, so that a toner image is formed on the surface.
In the conventional developing apparatus, the toner container has a bottom wall for receiving toner. The bottom wall has an end portion facing the opening portion. The end portion of the bottom wall is located under the developing roller and faces the peripheral surface of the developing roller. A gap is provided between the end portion of the bottom wall and the peripheral surface of the developing roller for the following reason.
Even after the toner passes through the developing position, part of the toner is kept attracted to the
|

]
}
| 40,505,231
|
peripheral surface of the developing roller and remains on the surface. The remaining toner is returned to the opening portion of the toner container as the developing roller rotates.
At this time, if there is no gap between the developing roller and the bottom wall of the toner container, the toner remaining on the developing roller is brought into contact with the bottom wall at the opening portion, and removed from the peripheral surface of the developing roller. The removed toner is accumulated in the end portion of the bottom wall and cannot be returned into the toner container. Therefore, the amount of toner accumulated in the end portion of the bottom wall is increased with the passage of time, resulting in the drawback that the toner is scatteredout of the toner container through the opening portion.
For the reason described above, according to the conventional developing apparatus, a gap is positively provided between the bottom wall of the toner container and the developing roller to avoid contact between the toner remaining on the peripheral surface of the developing roller and the bottom wall, thereby preventing scattering of the toner.
In the case where there is a gap between the bottom wall of the toner container and the developing roller, it is inevitable that part of the toner contained in the toner container will enter the gap. The toner in the gap is influenced by the magnetic force of the magnet roller and attracted to the peripheral surface of the developing roller in a normal image forming operation.

Therefore, the toner in the gap is never scattered or spilt out of the toner container.
However, if the developing apparatus receives shock, for example, when the developing apparatus is set to the electronic photographing apparatus, the pressure of the toner contained in the toner container may be temporarily increased. This pressure may be exerted on the gap. Further, when the toner container is replenished with new toner, the new toner put in the toner container drops on the existing toner. Therefore, this shock may increase the pressure of the toner in the toner container. This pressure may be exerted on the gap.
In this case, the toner attracted to the peripheral surface of the developing roller at the position of the gap or the toner located near the gapmay be pushed out from the toner container. This results in the problems that the toner is scattered around the toner container, contaminates the interior of the electronic photographing apparatus or adheres to recording paper.
An object of the present invention is to provide a developing apparatus and an electronic photographing apparatus, in which although there is a gap between a toner supplying body and a bottom wall of a toner container, toner is prevented from spilling out through the gap.
To achieve the above object, a developing apparatus according to a first aspect of the present invention comprises: a toner container for storing toner, the toner container having a bottom wall for receiving the toner and an opening formed at an end portion of the bottom wall and facing

a photosensitive body on which an electrostatic latent image is formed; a toner supplying body located at the opening of the toner container, the toner supplying body having a peripheral surface which is exposed in the toner container and to which the toner is adhered, for supplying the toner adhered to the peripheral surface to the photosensitive body by rotation, a gap being formed between the peripheral surface and the bottom wall to return toner remaining on the peripheral surface of the toner supplying body to the toner container; and a toner restricting portion projected upward from the bottom wall of the toner container, the toner restricting portion facing the gap at a position a distance from the gap to be inside the toner container.
In the above structure,if the toner container receives a shock or is replenished with new toner, the pressure of the toner in the toner container is increased. Due to the increase in pressure, the toner near the gap is liable to be pressed out through the gap. However, since the toner restricting portion faces the gap in the toner container, it can receive, immediately upstream from the gap, the pressure of the toner which is exerted toward the gap.
Therefore, the toner held by the toner supplying body and facing the gap or the toner existing near the gap is not pressed out of the toner container. Thus, the toner can be prevented from scattering out of the toner container.
To achieve the above object, a developing apparatus according to a second aspect

of the present invention comprises: a toner container for storing toner, the toner container having a bottom wall for receiving the toner and an opening formed at an end portion of the bottom wall and facing a photosensitive body on which an electrostatic latent image is formed; a toner supplying body located at the opening of the toner container, the toner supplying body having a peripheral surface which is exposed in the toner container and to which the toner is adhered, for supplying the toner adhered to the peripheral surface to the photosensitive body by rotation, a gap being formed between the peripheral surface and the bottom wall to return toner remaining on the peripheral surface of the toner supplying body to the toner container; and a tonerrestricting portion projected upward from the bottom wall of the toner container, the toner restricting portion facing the gap at a position a distance from the gap to a side of the photosensitive body.
In the above structure, if the toner container receives a shock or is replenished with new toner, the pressure of the toner in the toner container is increased. Due to the increase in pressure, the toner near the gap is liable to be pressed out through the gap. However, since the toner restricting portion faces the gap from the side of the photosensitive body, even if the toner flows into the gap, the flow of the toner is blocked at the position of the toner restricting portion.
Therefore, the toner held by the toner supplying body

|
and facing the gap or the toner existing near the gap is not pressed out of the toner container. Thus, the toner can be prevented from scattering out of the toner container.
To achieve the above object, a developing apparatus according to a third aspect of the present invention comprises: a toner container for storing toner, the toner container having a bottom wall for receiving the toner and an opening formed at an end portion of the bottom wall and facing a photosensitive body on which an electrostatic latent image is formed; a toner supplying body located at the opening of the toner container, the toner supplying body having a peripheral surface which is exposed in the toner container and to which the toner is adhered, for supplying thetoner adhered to the peripheral surface to the photosensitive body by rotation, a gap being formed between the peripheral surface and the bottom wall to return toner remaining on the peripheral surface of the toner supplying body to the toner container; and first and second toner restricting portions projected upward from the bottom wall of the toner container and facing the gap with the toner supplying body interposed therebetween.
In the above structure, if the toner container receives a shock or is replenished with new toner, the pressure of the toner in the toner container is increased. Due to the increase in pressure, the toner near the gap is liable to be pressed out through the gap. However, since one of the first and second toner restricting portions faces

the gap in the toner container, it can receive, immediately upstream from the gap, the pressure of the toner that is exerted toward the gap. As a result, increase in pressure near the gap can be prevented. Since the other toner restricting portion faces the gap from the side of the photosensitive body, even if the toner flows into the gap, the flow of the toner is blocked at the position of the other toner restricting portion.
Therefore, when the toner held by the toner supplying body and facing the gap or the toner existing near the gap is liable to be pressed out of the toner container, it can be blocked by the two toner restricting portions provided on both sides of the toner supplying body. Thus, itis particularly ensured that the toner is prevented from scattering out of the toner container.
To achieve the above object, an image processing unit of the present invention comprises: a photosensitive body on which an electrostatic latent image is formed; and a developing apparatus to be brought into combination with the photosensitive body. The developing apparatus comprises: a toner container for storing toner, the toner container having a bottom wall for receiving the toner and an opening formed at an end portion of the bottom wall and facing the photosensitive body; a toner supplying body located at the opening of the toner container, the toner supplying body having a peripheral surface which is exposed in the toner container and to which the toner is adhered, for supplying the toner

Further, to achieve the above object, an electronic photographing apparatus comprises: an apparatus body having a transfer path through which a sheet-like recording medium is transferred; a photosensitive body which is arranged in thetransfer path and on which an electrostatic latent image is formed; and a developing apparatus for causing toner adhered to the electrostatic latent image, thereby forming a toner image. The developing apparatus comprises: a toner container for storing the toner, the toner container having a bottom wall for receiving the toner and an opening formed at an end portion of the bottom wall and facing the photosensitive body; a toner supplying body located at the opening of the toner container, the toner supplying body having a peripheral surface which is exposed in the toner container and to which the toner is adhered, for supplying the toner adhered to the peripheral surface to the photosensitive body by rotation, a gap being formed between the peripheral surface and the bottom

Stasia's cane at some time or other as it described a swift arc towards the backs of their legs.
It was understood in the business that great chefs could be violently temperamental, and if one wanted to study under them one had to endure all kinds of invective and physical violence. The Turk, who was an outstanding chef, had once knocked Rudi unconscious with a single punch for overcooking a portion of asparagus. Pani Stasia was not an outstanding chef. She was a competent chef working in a little Polish restaurant. But something about her fury lit a slumbering resistance in him which told him that this nasty little old woman was not going to drive him from her kitchen, was not going to wear him down. So hemopped and cleaned and washed up and the skin on his hands reddened and cracked and bled and his legs hurt so much that some nights he could barely climb up to his cubbyhole in the attic. He kept going, refused to give in. Pani Stasia, sensing the one-man resistance movement which had sprung up in her kitchen, focused her attention on Rudi. This made him popular with the other staff, who no longer had to suffer quite so much. One day, for some imagined slight, she chased him from the kitchen in an access of rage extraordinary even by her standards, limping after him surprisingly quickly and labouring him about the head and shoulders with her cane. One whistling blow split his left earlobe and left him

had to suffer Pani Stasia's fury. Now, however, she expected him to learn to cook as well. She punished every mistake, no matter how small. Once, half conscious with exhaustion, he put a fresh batch of salad into a bowl with some which had been standing already prepared for some minutes, and she almost beat him black and blue.
But he did learn. The first thing he learned was that, if he wanted to remain in Pani Stasia's kitchen, he was going to have to forget his four-year drift along the Baltic coast. The things he had learned from The Turk and the other chefs he'd worked under meant nothing to the little old woman. Fractionally, month after month, her periods of displeasure grew further and further apart, untilone day, almost eighteen months after he first set foot in Restauracja Max, she allowed him to prepare one cover. She wouldn't allow it to be served, however. She prepared a duplicate cover herself and sent it out into the restaurant instead, and then set about tasting Rudi's attempt.
As Rudi watched her he became aware that the whole kitchen had fallen silent. He looked around and found himself overwhelmed by what he thought of as a movie moment. Everyone in the kitchen was watching Pani Stasia. Even Max, standing just inside the swing door that led into the restaurant. It was, Rudi, thought, that moment in a film where the callow greenhorn finally gains the grudging respect of his mentor. He also knew that life wasn't like the

The business world is very rarely black and white and some companies face obstacles when it comes to publicly sharing their data. However, there are types of data that require the highest possible integrity in a business context and nOS helps companies share it with the public on the ODN.
Tomaž shared more of the reasoning behind different privacy settings in nOS in a blog post, which gained significant traction last month and sparked a discussion in the general blockchain community, with John Wolpert joining in.

The Swan Princess films use this, since it's director, Richard Rich, was an ex-Disney animator.
Ralph Bakshi avoids this, since he feels the style is stale and cliche. His films usually have very subtle acting. Bakshi even spoke out to young animators to stop using disney style acting and try and experiment with new types of acting.
Sonic the Hedgehog started using this kind of acting in its cutscenes from Sonic Adventure 2 and onward. The earlier games avoided this due to technical limitations. Most of Sega's other games avoid using this kind of acting, too.
The PS2 era Ratchet & Clank games constantly used these kind of broad gestures and acting. This started getting downplayed in the Future era games, and the in-game cutscenes from the

the defense in space, an ideology he believes forces his opponents into far more miscues than his own team which prepares with practices run as quickly as possible in order to improve conditioning and maximize repetitions. And Kelly expects his charges to make the occasional mistake. Hes just betting on the fact that if his players make one, yours will make two because they werent ready at the snap of the ball or theyre just too gassed to handle their particular assignments. Its a mentality thats old hat in college football now, where Kelly dominated at the University of Oregon, but still rather new to the NFL which still has some real-life dinosaurs coaching on Sundays. Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett made the most news after Seattles dominating24-14 win over Kellys Eagles on Sunday by taking an unfair shot at Philadelphia quarterback Mark Sanchez, who piloted a unit that put up just 139 yards of total offense in 18 minutes of possession, the Eagles lowest output in 30 games under Kelly and its worse performance as a whole since 2005. Tell the Philadelphia police to put an APB out, Bennett quipped. Sanchez is trying to impersonate a good quarterback. Sanchez completed just 10 of his 20 passes for 96 yards in his fifth straight start for the injured Nick Foles. He did throw touchdown passes to Jeremy Maclin and Zach Ertz, but looked overmatched against the vaunted Legion of Boom. Thats a really good football team that we played and they showed it, Sanchez admitted.

background. The dress came down to her ankles, and her strong, broad, bare feet moved quickly and deftly over the floor. Her thin, steel-gray hair was gathered in a sparse wispy knot at the back of her head. Strong, freckled arms were bare to the elbow, and her hands were chubby and delicate, like those of a plump little girl. She looked out into the sunshine. Her full face was not soft; it was controlled, kindly. Her hazel eyes seemed to have experienced all possible tragedy and to have mounted pain and suffering like steps into a high calm and a superhuman understanding. She seemed to know, to accept, to welcome her position, the citadel of the family, the strong place that could not be taken. And sinceold Tom and the children could not know hurt or fear unless she acknowledged hurt and fear, she had practiced denying them in herself. And since, when a joyful thing happened, they looked to see whether joy was on her, it was her habit to build up laughter out of inadequate materials. But better than joy was calm. Imperturbability could be depended upon. And from her great and humble position in the family she had taken dignity and a clean calm beauty. From her position as healer, her hands had grown sure and cool and quiet; from her position as arbiter she had become as remote and faultless in judgment as a goddess. She seemed to know that if she swayed the family shook, and if she ever

the circumstance in the instant case. The designation of joint payees served as a relatively unobtrusive means to assure the ultimate delivery of funds to the seller. Unwilling to accept a mere promise that a sale would occur, the bank chose to restrict access to loan proceeds. The condition for that access was fulfillment of Stanton's representation regarding use of proceeds for the contemporaneous acquisition of collateral. This representation continued throughout a closing process that was to include the delivery of the check to Liolos. Knowing that his actions would render his representation to be false, Stanton nonetheless chose to defer the intended application of proceeds. As a consequence, the bank received a mere possibility of some future security, rather than the actual lien to which the bankHave Breakfast With Us, You'll Enjoy It All Day!

Korean press.35 In many ways, this particular episode pinpoints precisely one of the major fault lines of the Korean division that has become so vitriolic that it negates whatever came before: how to remember Kim Il Sung's anticolonial exploits while holding him responsible for the Korean War?
Ultimately, what drives the division within Korea is the civil war and international war that are remembered so differently by the two sides today and the many generations that have been educated from only one point of view.36 At a gathering of my extended family in Seoul recently, a minor argument broke out as my uncle asked me about the Peace Walk and its goals. When I answered that it was to overcome division and achieve peaceful reunification by meeting with womenof both sides, there was an immediate generational divide between two of my uncles: one who was born in 1946 and believed there was no way that North Korea wanted peaceful reunification since it started the Korean War by invading the South, and the other who was born in 1956 and stated matter-of-factly that North Korea, at least publicly, has consistently advocated peaceful reunification. In short, one believed that peaceful reunification was possible and the other did not, and this division has everything to do with how the Korean War and its possible resolution are conceptualized. It is no coincidence in this regard that so many of the protesters against our Peace Walk played straight into this polarity, which is also why Korean reunification will have to be

Women's Initiative, Global Fund for Women, AWID, MADRE, Urgent Action Fund, and Women Peacemaker Program, which started International Women's Day for Peace and Disarmament twenty years ago. Dozens of South Korean women Parliamentarians across political lines issued a public statement endorsing our walk. And hundreds of individuals provided financial support to make our historic journey possible. We are so incredibly grateful for this community's leadership and partnership.
Inspired by the long history of Korean women peacemakers, we helped revive Korea's peace and reunification movements, which have been deflated since the souring of inter-Korean relations. Since 2007, their efforts to engage with North Koreans have been greatly hampered, and even criminalized. According to our South Korean partners, the solidarity of international women peacemakers helped renew debate and open political spacein South Korea, including putting into public discourse the legal mandate of UN Security Council Resolution 1325, which ensures the female half of the world be involved at all levels of every peace process.
The deadlocked situation on the Korean peninsula calls for game changer initiatives like Women
Cross DMZ that go beyond conventional paths. As a group of people generally outside structures of power, women peacemakers offer a critical perspective in the analysis of conflict, providing strategies toward peacebuilding that focus on creating ties across opposing sides. As Korean feminists have taught us, the militarization of Korea leads to greater masculinization of society, which increases violence against women and strips resources away from social welfare and human security.
In preparing for the Peace Walk, a diverse group of international women

from a variety of backgrounds and political views came together, including artists, scholars, human rights defenders, and peace activists from the Asia Pacific, Africa, North America, Latin America, and Europe. We partnered with organizations in both North and South Korea. In North Korea, we established working relationships with the Korean Committee for Solidarity with World
Peoples and the Democratic Women's Union of Korea. In South Korea, we partnered with local women's groups such as Gyeonggi Women's Network, Korea Women's Political Solidarity, and Iftopia, as well as several leading national women's organizations, including WomenMaking Peace, YWCA of Korea, Korean Women's Association United, and Korean Council forthe Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery by Japan. We are enormously grateful for their leadership and partnership, without which the Women's Peace Walk couldfirst time in history that moments both formal and casual were shared live with the world in such a manner from North Korea. By providing intimate glimpses from the inside, we transported the world into an otherwise inaccessible place and culture, helping to transform the unknown into the familiar.
Finally, our walk brought renewed attention to the importance of world solidarity in ending the
Korean conflict, particularly since the 1953 Armistice Agreement was signed by North Korea, China, and the United States on behalf of the UN Command that included sixteen countries. It helped highlight the responsibility of the international community-whose governments were complicit in the division of Korea seventy years ago- to support Korea's peaceful reconciliation and reunification.

Cardiff City beat Queens Park Rangers in a breathless encounter to stay top of the Championship table.
Matt Smith nodded QPR in front before their former winger Junior Hoilett equalised by blocking goalkeeper Alex Smithies' clearance.
Sol Bamba's header gave Cardiff the lead, fuelling a fiery atmosphere at Cardiff City Stadium.
The hosts had chances to score a third but held out comfortably for a fifth win from five league games.
Their victory, coupled with Ipswich's defeat at home to Fulham, means the Bluebirds are now three points clear at the Championship's summit.
There was an expectant crowd at Cardiff City Stadium, but the senseof optimism stemming from the hosts' perfect start to the season was punctured by Smith's opener, as he nodded in from close range after Cardiff goalkeeper Neil Etheridge failed to clear Luke Freeman's cross.
Etheridge will have been disappointed with his hesitant effort, though it paled into insignificance compared to his opposite number Smithies' blunder.
Under pressure from a poor back-pass by his captain Nedum Onuoha, the QPR goalkeeper's clearance ricocheted off Hoilett and straight into the net.
Those two goals were typical of a compelling encounter played at breakneck speed, as entertaining because of its errors and robust challenges as it was because of its goals and chances at both ends.
It was fitting too that this battle should include a headed goal from a corner for Bamba, whose aerial duels

species and can be found in the open sea.
Bronze Whaler: Also known as copper sharks, these big fish are 3.3 metres long and hunt in groups of up to 100. Their name comes from the Greek translation of sharp nose and their backs are bronze in colour.
Oceanic Whitetip Shark: These sharks have been known to feast on shipwreck survivors and live out in the open water where food is scarce. It is believed that survivors from the USS Indianapolis, which was torpedoed in WW2 were eaten by these sharks.
Silky Shark- This shark is named for its smooth skin. It is one of the species of shark with the biggest population in the ocean. However its numbers have been dwindling recently due to overfishing.
Dusky Shark- The number of Duskysharks in the ocean are also depleting due to over fishing. These sharks live longer than most with an average life span of 50 years. But, their life cycle is also long which means they cannot replenish their numbers once they diminish.
The Goblin Shark- This shark gets its name from its elongated snout and translucent skin. It is known to be a fearsome predator of the ocean due to its dislocating jaw which extends by up to 3.1 metres per second.

very peculiar indeed.
Monday, 17 September 2012
When Hetty Longden arrives at her boyfriend's cottage and finds him in bed with another woman she rips up the embroidered antique sheet which covers the couple, and drives into his expensive Porsche, wrecking her own car in the process. Heart-broken, she abandons job and flat, and retreats to her parents' home. But her mother, determined not to let Hetty wallow in self pity, packs her off to house sit for great-uncle Samuel.
The house in question is a beautiful old mansion, falling into decay after years of neglect. There is no money for repairs, and Connor, the heir to the property - whom Hetty hates even before she meets him - wants to turn his inheritance into a theme park. So Hetty unitesthe villagers and sets out to save the building and its surrounding land. And the scene is set for conflict and misunderstanding, before the inevitable, highly satisfying happy ending.
Stately Pursuits is classic Katie Fforde and is thoroughly enjoyable. As I've said before, some people turn their noses up at her work, and are very dismissive of romantic fiction, but I think they are missing out. Like Maeve Binchy, Fforde is a great story teller, and has a warmth and compassion that shines through. Her heroines, including Hetty, are feisty, independent, intelligent women, who don't always recognise true love when they stumble across it, but are always credibly drawn, and the host of minor characters are also entirely believable. And it's the relationships between characters that is one of

The island's reputation for attracting celebrities seems to date back to the 1890s when music hall star George H Chirgwin built a wooden house and invited guests to weekend parties, but the present hotel was created by film maker Archibold Nettlefold who bought the whole island in 1927. For just over a decade it was one of the most fashionable and popular places for the glittering social elite of the day: as well as Agatha Christie, guests included Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson, and Noel Coward.
But the war changed all that. The RAF used it for airmen recovering from wounds, and the two top floors suffered bomb damage. Repairswere carried out, but after the war it was turned into self- catering holiday flats. It was restored in the 1990s and the early years of this century, and remains best known as the setting for Christie's books 'And Then There Were None', and 'Evil Under The Sun'. A TV version of the latter, starring David Suchet as Hercule Poirot, was filmed on location at Burgh Island and Burgh Island Hotel.

For most part, the story holds together, weaving seeminglyWith Liam Neeson soaring high as a legitimate action hero and gradually intense plot, Non-Stop could have been great, but the asinine final act undermines its thrilling build up. The movie boasts many talented cast, its cinematography dances around in such tight space, and it produces a sense of inescapable situation well. For most part, the story holds together, weaving seemingly impossible feats of crime above the sky, only to falls later with far-fetch conclusion, perhaps inspired by older Samuel L. Jackson's movie of the same premise.
Concept of being trapped and threatened mid-flight is used in an intriguing fashion.Tension escalates nicely and in familiar small inescapable space, the struggle will be relatable to the audience. Characters are introduced swiftly with skillful editing, its cast does good job on keeping the exhilaration going. At most times, the movie ventures into psychological thriller realm, connecting riddle after riddle. In contrast of more action heavy movies Liam Neeson has done in recent years or what the poster may suggest, the action takes a backseat in exchange of more intellectual coping of the characters in the predicament.
Liam Neeson as Bill Marks, moves and acts with necessary vigor, he's a good action hero with reliance on mental fortitude instead of muscle strength alone. Julianne Moore does well as Jen Summers, an unlucky passenger who's caught up in Bill's unyielding search of

port of Gioia Tauro, in Calabria, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
Lupoi, from Brooklyn, has lived in Calabria and used his connections with both the Gambino organized crime family and the 'Ndrangheta to pursue international criminal activity, it said.
Among those arrested in Italy are his father-in-law, Antonio Simonetta, and his cousin, Francesco Ursino, it said.
During two joint FBI-Italian operations in Italy, Lupoi and Ursino sold more than 1.3 kilograms of heroin to an FBI undercover agent for what they believed was eventual distribution in the United States, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
In New York, Lupoi, Chan and Garcia sold the undercover agent more than a kilogram of heroin, it added.
Cocaine found in canned fruit shipment
Lupoi, 44, is also accused of plotting to smuggle 500 kilograms of cocaine, concealed infrozen food, in shipping containers from Guyana, in South America, to Calabria, thanks to connections with Mexican drug cartels operating in Guyana.
Italian court documents show the conspiracy slowed after shipping containers from a Guyanese shipping company were seized in Malaysia and found to contain more than $7 million in cocaine hidden in cans labeled as containing coconut milk and pineapple, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
Investigators said at the news conference that the Mexico-Calabria connection was established in New York.
Law enforcement officials are still trying to establish how the drug traveled from Mexico to Guyana but said that some of the suspects took trips to Latin America following their New York meetings.
The illegal traffic of drugs between the United States and Italy stopped by police could have earned the

talk to Thanos' two daughters, Nebula and Gamora, who are currently working for him. He sends Gamora to find the Orb after hearing from Korath that Peter Quill escaped with it. He also says that he intends to give Thanos the Orb as Thanos has promised to destroy Xandar with it.
Peter speaks to the leader of the Ravagers, Yondu, and says that he needs to make sure that the Orb is sold and that Yondu does not take the money for himself. Yondu doesn't believe him and puts a bounty on his head. Once on Xandar Peter says goodbye to Bereet and goes to give the Orb to the buyer. The buyer wants the Orb at first but when he hears that Ronan is after it, he wantsnothing to do with it.
He forces Quill out of the shop and closes the door. Outside the shop, Gamora is waiting for him. She attacks him and takes the orb from him. Rocket, a genetically and cybernetically enhanced Raccoon, and Groot, a member of the tree-like race Flora Colossus, are both working as bounty hunters and they spot Quill and try to capture him, as he is worth a lot of units. Peter takes the Orb from Gamora while he is attacked by Rocket and Groot. Gamora attacks Quill again and as Rocket and Groot think she wants to damage their bounty a fight breaks out between the four. Nova Corps eventually finds them and arrests them.

Ronan and that once Ronan finds out, he will come looking for her. When he comes, Drax can then kill Ronan, his true target, instead. Drax agrees. Before they go back to sleep Gamora says that the Orb is worth four billion units to her buyer. Everyone but Drax agrees to share the trade if they manage to escape. Rocket who is a 22-time lockup escapee comes up with a plan during the night. The next morning Rocket reveals the plan to steal a special kind of battery from the guard tower in the cellblock as well as one of the guard's arm panels and an inmate's prosthetic leg. Groot hears that the battery is needed, but that Rocket has no plan on how to get it sothe battery to the guard tower and then turns off the gravity in the rest of the cell block. Rocket then takes control over the drones and uses them do propel the tower out of the cell block. The group finds their belongings but Peter is missing his Walkman. He shows everyone where the Milano is and then goes to find the tape player. While they wait Rocket suggests that they leave without Peter but Gamora sees that Peter has taken the Orb with him and she insists that they stay. Peter finds the tape player, puts on his helmet and flies out of the prison. He gets into the Milano and they fly away.

slave. Her body can't hold the energy and she explodes and destroys The Collector's museum. Gamora puts the stone back into the Orb and the gang runs out only to find a legion of Ronan's Necrocrafts waiting for them. Rocket, Gamora, and Peter take some mining ships and fly away with the Orb.
Drax starts to fight Ronan. Ronan knocks him out but Drax gets up and this time Ronan drowns him in a vat of the celestial's spinal fluid. He then enters his Necrocraft and flies away.
Gamora, Rocket and Peter are being hunted by Nebula and some Saakaran soldiers in Necrocrafts. Since the mining pods have no blasters, Rocket tries to crash his ship into the Necrocrafts to protect Gamora. Nebula manages to shoot down Gamora's pod andbeam the Orb up to her ship. Ronan and his men leave once they obtain the Orb. Gamora floats around in space and Rocket says that her enhanced body will allow her to live for a few more minutes but that there is nothing they can do for her. Peter can't just let her die so he calls Yondu and tells him his location. He then puts on his helmet and flies out to Gamora. He takes off the helmet and puts it on Gamora, knowing that he will only survive for a couple of seconds in space without it. Luckily Yondu arrives and beams them into his ship.
Rocket returns to Knowhere and find Groot. Groot manages to revive Drax and Drax apologizes for his behavior. Rocket then

a legion of Novacrafts, lead by Denarian Garthan Saal, to assist Peter's group and the Ravagers.
The Ravager Mothership used a fire screen to hide the smaller fighter ships as they flew underneath the Dark Aster. Rocket and a team of Ravagers managed to blow a hole in the Dark Aster. Yondu's fighter is damaged during the battle and he is forced to crash land. The Ravagers are overrun by Necrocrafts but the Novacrafts arrive just in time to help. Star-Lord manages to land with the Milano inside the Dark Aster and Drax, Groot, Gamora and Peter walk deeper into the ship.
Some Saakaran ground troopers ask Yondu to tell the Ravagers to turn on the Nova Corps but he refuses and uses his yaka arrow to kill them.
The Novacraftsare ordered to create a barrier in front of the Dark Aster to prevent it from descending to the ground. When Ronan sees this he orders the Necrocrafts to crash into the surface of the Xandarian Capitol. Rocket and some of the Ravagers start to shoot down the Necrocrafts before they reach the surface while the city is quickly evacuated.
Nebula stops and finds Peter and the group inside the Dark Aster. Drax shoots her with Rocket's canon but she fixes herself. Gamora stays behind to fight Nebula while the others go further. After a long fight, Gamora pushes Nebula out of the ship but her cybernetic arm is stuck in some debris. Gamora asks her sister to help her against Ronan, saying that he's crazy. Nebula only looks

up and says You're both crazy. Then she cuts off her cybernetic arm, falls down on a Ravager ship, throws out the pilot and flies away. Gamora then walks over to the power source and destroys it.
The Dark Aster breaks through the barrier created by the Novacrafts, thus killing Denarian Garthan Saal and all the remaining Nova Pilots.
After a long battle with the Saakaran soldiers, in which Korath is killed by Drax, Peter, Gamora, Drax and Groot find Ronan in the Control Room of the Dark Aster. Star-Lord tries to kill Ronan with Rocket's canon but Ronan is too powerful and survives. Moments later Rocket crashes into the Dark Aster, taking out the pilots and temporarily knocking out Ronan. He almost dies himself but Groot saves him fromwhich Peter replayed Distracting you @#!*% . As Ronan turns he sees Drax standing with Rocket's canon in his hands. He fires at Ronan's Universal weapon which shatters, exposing the Stone. Peter then throws himself at the stone and grabs it. The Stone creates a sphere of dark purple energy and it starts to destroy Peter. Gamora reaches out for Peter and shouts Peter, take my hand. Peters gets flashbacks of when his mother said the same thing and he grabs Gamora's hand. Even with Gamora absorbing some of the energy it's not enough. But then Drax grabs Peter's other hand and Rocket grabs Drax's hand and together they manage to contain the energy. Ronan watches in terror and ask How is this possible? You are only mortals.

Star-Lord then looks up and replies You said it yourself @#!*% . We're the Guardians of the Galaxy. Then the Guardians release the energy on Ronan which kills him. Afterwards, Gamora uses one of the empty orbs and puts the Stone in it.
Once the Infinity Stone is contained, Yondu shows up, demanding the Orb. Peter gives him an Orb and tells him not to open it since Yondu now knows the power it contains. After Yondu leaves Peter leans over to Gamora and whispered He is gonna be so @#!*% when he find out I switched out the Orbs. They both start to smile. As he Yondu flies away he comments that it was a wise choice not to deliver Star-Lord to his father, who had asked themto find him many years ago. Rocket sits down and starts to cry over a stick that used to be Groot. Drax then sits down beside him and comforts him.
The Guardians later give the real Orb containing the Stone to the Nova Corps. The Nova Corps tells Peter that they noticed something strange when they scanned him. He wasn't 100% human. His father had been something far more powerful. Gamora speculated that this may be the reason why he could hold the Stone for so long. Rocket is holding onto a pot with a Groot stick planted in it. Gamora asks Drax if he felt good now that Ronan was dead. He said that he felt good but that Ronan was only a puppet and that Thanos was

My uncle was an electronics specialist and a civilian employee at the Air Force base in Greenville, Mississippi in the mid 50s. One day some military authorities escorted him and several other civilian employees into a large aircraft hangar and ordered them to stay there until they were told they could come out. None of the mens questions about what was going on were answered. The military men closed the hangars doors and left. The men in the hanger hung around the area where the hangars doors came together, and they discovered they could peek outside and see what was going on. A disk shaped aircraft about 40 feet in diameter descended vertically and landed on the tarmac outside the hangar. Several men with cameras filmed the entireincident from an elevated scaffolding. Other cameramen stood on the ground. A door opened on the aircraft and a child-sized alien being walked down a short ramp. The alien used a hand-held computer to communicate with the military personnel. The aircraft was on tripod landing gear with wheels, and several men were ordered to pushed it into the hanger across the way. Once the ailen aircraft was inside the hanger, the men closed the doors. The doors were reopened several minutes later and the same men pushed the alien aircraft back outside and to its original position. The men around the aircraft stepped away from the aircraft and it soon lifted vertically and silently and quickly darted away. As soon as the alien aircraft was gone,some military men

recent elections, including Bill Clinton and John Kerry. According to the 2008 national exit poll, 78% of Jewish voters cast their ballots for Obama over his Republican opponent, John McCain.
The fact that Obama had consistently supported U.S. economic and military aid to Israel while serving in the U.S. Senate and made his support for Israel abundantly clear on the campaign trail surely helped to quell lingering concerns about his candidacy among Jewish voters. What was probably even more important, however, was the continued attachment of the large majority of Jewish voters to the Democratic Party–an attachment grounded firmly on the liberal views held by these voters on a wide range of domestic policy issues.
According to data from the American National Election Studies, Jewish voters are only exceeded byAfrican Americans in their attachment to the Democratic Party. Between 1992 and 2008, 82% of Jewish voters who were interviewed in ANES surveys identified with or leaned toward the Democratic Party. In contrast, among all other white voters during these years, only 43% identified with or leaned toward the Democratic Party.
What explains the continuing support of Jewish voters for the Democratic Party? After all, Democratic identification has declined fairly dramatically among some other traditionally Democratic groups such as white southerners and Catholics in recent years. The key difference appears to be that Jewish voters, unlike these other traditionally Democratic voting groups, hold solidly liberal views on a wide range of domestic policy issues, and especially on social issues such as abortion that have undermined support for the Democratic

to the construction of Basin F. This basin covered 93 acres and was approximately 10 feet deep. It had a three-eighths-inch-thick asphalt liner to prevent waste effluent from seeping into the groundwater. Shell's effluent wastes were sent to Basin F from 1956 until 1978.
Wastes that Shell could not put in the chemical sewer it put in drums for disposal in shallow earthen trenches. The trenches were 300 feet long, 20 feet wide, and 10 feet deep. Shell dumped drums of contaminated materials, solid wastes, and sludges into the trenches, or poured in heated, tar-like wastes from a tank truck. When the trenches were nearly full, fuel oil was poured over them and ignited to decontaminate the chemical wastes through incineration. The trenches were then covered with a layerof soil. When air pollution problems halted open trench burnings, Shell stockpiled these wastes in thousands of covered and uncovered drums near the trenches.
3. Pollution Problems at the Arsenal
Shell's leasehold included three freshwater lakes near its Arsenal plants. Water to cool the chemical manufacturing equipment was drawn from and returned to the lakes. Wildlife began to die at these lakes the first year Hyman operated at the Arsenal. In 1950, Dr. Hyman himself detected his company's pesticides in the pipe that returned water to the lakes. Ducks died at the lakes until the mid-1960's; 1,200 ducks were reported killed in the spring of 1952 alone. In 1956, tests found Shell's pesticides in tissue samples from waterfowl killed at the lakes; tests in the mid-1960's found the pesticides in

snails and vegetation from the lakes. The lakes were drained, and contaminated mud was scraped from their bottoms and dumped on the ground nearby. The cooling water system was changed so that used water was not returned to the lakes.
In 1954, Shell was told that crops on a farm northwest of the Arsenal showed signs of chemical damage after irrigation with well water. It soon *734 became clear that water flowing underground from the Arsenal was the most likely cause of the problem, though well water tests found only high salt levels and did not detect the Shell chemicals. After Basin F was built, the unlined basins were not used for effluent disposal, though they were used for storm water collection.
By the mid-1960's, the Army was concerned aboutintended to hold Shell liable for cleanup costs at the Arsenal. Between January 1982 and June 1983, Shell sent a series of notices to inform its insurers of the *735 potential liability for the Army's claims. The last notice asked the insurers for their position on Shell's insurance coverage for those claims.
In December 1983, the United States and Colorado filed environmental damage lawsuits against Shell in the United States District Court in Denver, Colorado. The United States' suit alleged that the environmental damage and pollution cleanup costs at the Arsenal amounted to $1.8 billion. In June 1988, the United States and Shell signed a consent decree to settle the federal claims. Under this decree, Shell's liability for cleanup costs is open-ended, with Shell being responsible for 50 percent

their interstate shipments was anything but sporadic or casual.
III. Helish
12
A. Variation and Amendment of the Indictment
13
The indictment alleged that Helish possessed different quantities of marijuana, with intent to distribute it, in May, July, and August 1985. These were the dates on which the government believed Helish had taken delivery of the marijuana shipments from Aaron. The testimony elicited at trial, however, indicated that Helish received all three shipments in April and May. Helish argues that this variance between the indictment and the government's proof substantially prejudiced him because at trial he relied upon an alibi defense for the months of July and August 1985. In addition, he contends that the inconsistent testimony adduced at trial forced the government to constructively amend the indictment byarguing that Helish was in continuous possession of marijuana from May through August rather than employing the theory of the indictment that Helish took possession of the marijuana on three different occasions. Helish maintains that this continuing possession theory exposed him to double jeopardy because it charged him in three counts for possessing the same marijuana.
14
Helish overlooks a critical fact. The government charged him with possessing marijuana with an intent to distribute it, not with receiving marijuana. The indictment alleged that Helish possessed three different shipments of marijuana: Count 5 alleges that he possessed 1700 pounds of marijuana in May; Count 6 alleges that he possessed 1800 pounds in July; and Count 7 alleges that he possessed 2000 pounds in August.

|
Helish's claim that he was prejudiced is further undercut by the limited utility of an alibi defense against a charge of possession with intent to distribute. The availability of constructive possession arguments to the government makes the physical presence of the defendant with the drugs at any given time of little moment to a defendant's guilt or innocence.3
17
Apparently overestimating the strength of the defendant's variance argument, the government is unwilling to concede that there was a variance between the indictment and the evidence adduced at trial. Instead, the government argues that it offered the evidence concerning the dates of the deliveries only to prove that Helish subsequently possessed the stated quantities of marijuana in May, July, and August. The government's reluctance to But he had in May, marijuana that he possessed with the intent to distribute and he had it in July and he had it in August.
19
Trial Transcript, vol. IX, at 1210.
20
The government contends that these remarks constituted only a comment upon Helish's constructive possession of the marijuana in July and August. We find this assertion to be disingenuous; it does not explain why Helish was charged with possessing portions of the marijuana in July and August when the government's evidence established that he possessed all of it in May. The government charged Helish with possession in July and August simply because that is when it thought he received the second and third shipments of marijuana, not because it was relying on a constructive possession

theory to convict him.4
21
Helish claims that the government's remarks constructively amended the indictment by presenting the jury with a theory that was not presented to the grand jury at the time of the indictment. He asserts that the evidence adduced at trial forced the government to argue that he was in continuous possession of all the marijuana in May, July, and August, rather than in possession of the separate installments as the indictment charged. The variance, Helish contends, reduced the government to asserting that Helish was guilty of all three counts of possession merely because he was in continuous possession of the same marijuana in May, July, and August. In addition to constituting an impermissible constructive amendment of the indictment, Helish asserts that the governmentstated quantities of marijuana, the convictions are valid despite the variance in the dates of possession.
26
The government presented more than enough evidence to satisfy its burden of proving that Helish took control of the quantities of marijuana alleged in the indictment. When approached by Richard Aaron, Helish agreed to purchase marijuana from the Heilbrunn organization. Aaron received three deliveries of marijuana at his home. Helish went to Indiana to inspect the first shipment and had it transported to Florida. Shortly thereafter he gave Aaron approximately $100,000 in a PVC pipe as front money for the drugs. Helish did not inspect the second and third shipments, but arranged to have them picked up from Aaron's home each time. Helish made regular payments of

predicted that this was the next song. I thought I'd be doing an old one instead of something new, but this one's both... lyrics from 1990, music from today. It's one of those that I had no idea what it was about... so I asked William, and it came from a past experience of his. The truncated version is this: have you ever had a girlfriend/wife/significant other that was just loopy enough that you didn't know who she was from one date to the next? Well, this song is for her.
Every name in this song refers to the same girl. In a departure from the real-life story, I decided to write the music from the position of somebody who knows she's loopy, but loves her anyway.

No surprises here... this is a countrified boogie about a gas station/country store a few miles from my house. As far as I can tell, it's the only building in Kelly that isn't a house, church, or fire station... which means it's the only social gathering place/watering hole/restaurant in the area. I stopped by there last Tuesday evening, and it was absolutely packed with people from their teens to their fifties.

beer issue that drew the ire of teammates and the front office.
If Beckett wants to remain the ace he better start showing some leadership by example.
Lester, 28, is starting to look like the Red Sox version of Mike Mussina. He has all the talent and the pitches to be successful but he never takes that big step forward to be an elite pitcher. He was 15-9 with a 3.47 ERA but he also slid in September. He had only two quality starts from Aug. 27 to the season finale and was 1-3 with a 5.40 ERA in the final month.
Buchholz, 27, made only 14 starts last season before ending up on the disabled list with what was eventually diagnosed as a stress fracture in his back. He finished33, will not pitch at all in 2012 because he had to undergo Tommy John surgery on his right elbow. There is no real guarantee Lackey will be any better in 2013, which will be the final year of his four-year contract. His days in Beantown look to be limited at this point.
Speaking of that, Red Sox fans also would like to see Matsuzaka, 31, gone after three injury-filled seasons in which he was a combined 16-15 with a plus 5.00 ERA in only 44 starts. Last season, he was shelved in June with a 3-3 record and a 5.30 ERA. Like Lackey he underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow.
He possibly could return late in the season but there is no one banking on him coming

it is the major problem. If Beckett, Lester or Buchholz are hurt, who steps up to replace them?
BULLPEN
The Red Sox allowed Jonathan Papelbon leave for the Philadelphia Phillies rather than pay him what he was worth as a closer for them over the past six seasons. The conventional wisdom was Bard would take over as the closer.
But the Red Sox made him a starter instead and opened up the job. They decided to fill it with 27-year-old right-hander Andrew Bailey, who was acquired in a trade with the Oakland Athletics.
Bailey is coming off two injury-plagued seasons but is pretty darn good when he is healthy. Bailey is 7-10 with a career ERA of 2.07 and 75 saves in 84 chances.
There is no doubt Bailey is an excellent closer.pitchers reported to camp on Sunday because 30-year-old right-hander Bobby Jenks will miss more time when a pulmonary embolism was discovered in his lung. This was discovered after he had two back surgeries after pitching only 19 games last season. He is on the 60-day DL and he will be on a long road back to health.
Aceves also figures in the late innings because he is much more valuable in that spot.
The Red Sox got some use out of 29-year-old right-hander Matt Albers, who was 4-4 with 4.73 ERA in 56 games last season. The lefty specialist was 26-year-old Franklin Morales, who was 1-2 with a 3.69 ERA in 50 appearances. The Red Sox are hoping Rich Hill will come back from Tommy John surgery on his left

proved weak in the field despite having won a Gold Glove with the Rays in 2010.
More bad news about Crawford: Late in the winter Crawford realized his left wrist required surgery and he is not likely to be able to play on Opening Day. Crawford will either turn his game around or become one of the biggest albatross signings in baseball history.
The Red Sox have shuffled the deck in right-field and shortstop this season.
The Red Sox released aging outfielder J.D. Drew and they used promising youngster Josh Reddick in the Bailey trade.
The Red Sox did obtain outfielder Ryan Sweeney in the Bailey deal and he is a left-handed hitter like Reddick. However, the 27-year-old has been a huge disappointment in Oakland. He is career .283 hitter but helacks both power and speed.
Holdover Darnell McDonald, 33, was brought up last season and he hit .236 with six home runs and 24 RBIs in 79 games. He could figure in an early platoon with Sweeney or win the job outright. Ryan Kalish, 23, hit .252 in 53 games and he will get a look also.
The Red Sox also picked up Cody Ross from the Giants. Ross, 31, bats right-handed and he figures to start n left-field until Crawford returns to health. Then he will shift to right in a platoon with either Sweeney or Kalish. Ross hit .240 with 14 home runs and 52 RBIs in 2011.
Shortstop also was shuffled for 2012. Starter Marco Scutaro was shipped to Colorado for right-handed pitcher Clayton Mortensen. Backup infielder Jed

Lowrie was used in the Melancon trade with the Astros.
That leaves former Royals infielder Mike Aviles to start at the position. Aviles, 31, is a career .288 hitter but he hit only .255 with seven home runs and 39 RBIs in 91 games with the Royals and Red Sox.
The Jason Varitek era in Boston is officially over. Varitek was not re-signed and Jarrod Saltalamacchia enters his second season as the unquestioned starter for the Red Sox. Saltalamacchia, 26, is coming off a so-so 2011 season. He hit .235 with 16 homers and 56 RBIs. He also struck out 119 times in 358 at-bats so he is not exactly a selective hitter. The Red Sox also wish he would continue to improve his defense and throwing.
BENCH
The Red Sox willlikely keep Ross, McDonald and either Sweeney or Kalish as backup outfielders. McDonald is valuable because he play all three spots and he is better in center.
The Red Sox picked up former Twins infielder Nick Punto as a reserve at second, short and third. Punto, 34, hit .278 with one home run and 20 RBIs with the Cardinals last season. Having Punto means the Red Sox can allow 22-year-old shortstop Jose Inglesias another season to develop at Triple-A. Inglesias can field but has not developed much as a hitter.
The team also picked up former Red Sox catcher Kelly Shoppach from the Rays. Shoppach, 31, hit .176 with 11 homers and 22 RBIs with the Rays and he replaces Varitek as the backup catcher. He is solid defensively.

this season. That is good to know because Brett Gardner hit only .233 against left-handers last season and if that number does not improve this season Jones could end up as a platoon left-fielder.
SAYONARA TO NO. 18: Jones also made news by surrendering the No. 18 he wore last season with the Yankees to free-agent right-hander Hiroki Kuroda. In Japan, that number is generally reserved for the ace pitcher of the team so Jones agreed to relinquish the number to his new teammate.
JOBA DEBUT: Joba Chamberlain will throw his first mound bullpen session on Wednesday since having Tommy John surgery on his right elbow last July. Though Chamberlain is making excellent progress in his rehab the Yankees do not expect him to be able to pitch until Juneor July.
HURT LOCKER: Right-hand reliever George Kontos became the first Yankees casualty of the spring. He pulled an oblique muscle on Tuesday and he will be sidelined for at least two weeks.
LESS CC: Bad news for teams in the American League East: CC Sabathia showed up in camp at his playing weight of 290 pounds, dropping about 15 pounds to get there. Sabathia also vowed to continue a training regimen to keep his weight steady throughout the season. Prior to Aug. 6 last season, Sabathia was 16-5 with a 2.55 ERA. After his Aug. 6 start, Sabathia was 3-3 with a 4.30 ERA. He also was 0-0 with a 6.23 ERA in his three appearances in the 2010 A.L. Division Series against the Detroit Tigers. Some in the

pitched briefly last season for the first time since the 2008 season. Shoulder problems derailed what looked to be a promising pitcher in 2007 when he was 12-10 with a 4.08 ERA for the Jays. The Jays are counting on him bouncing back this season.
The pressure is on McGowan, too. There is little depth behind him.
In short, this Blue Jays rotation looks to be a bit suspect but it has the potential to exceed expectations.
BULLPEN
The most signifcant moves the Jays made was the signing 36-year-old right-hander Francisco Cordero as a free agent and acquiring 28-year-old right-hander Sergio Santos from the White Sox.
Leaky middle relief and the lack of a consistent closer cost the Jays dearly last season.
Cordero likely was signed to be a setup man for Santos despiteencouraged that he hit .243 against left-handers last season.
The Jays gave up on second baseman Aaron Hill and acquired Kelly Johnson from the Diamondbacks in a trade of Hill. However, Johnson and Hill are virtually alike in they are both mid-average power hitters. Johnson hit 21 home runs in 2011 after hitting 26 in 2010. Johnson also can steal bases. He swiped 16 last season.
The Jays also traded for troubled Cardinals outfielder Colby Ramus, who rejected hitting advice from coaches in St. Louis while posting a .225 batting average with 14 home runs and 53 RBIs. Because the Jays have failed in developing prospect Travis Snider into a major-league hitter the team has moved on hoping Ramus fulfills his early promise.

the Japanese League in Wei-Yin Chen and Tsuyoshi Wada.
Chen, 26, is a left-hander from Taiwan who has compiled a 36-30 record and a 2.48 ERA in four seasons with the Chunichi Dragons. He also has pretty good stuff with 500 career strikeouts in 631 1/3 innings.
Wada, 30, is another left-hander and he has overcome two injury-plagued seasons to compile a combined 33-13 record with a 2.29 ERA in the last two seasons with Fukuoda Softbank Hawks. While Chen has better stuff, Wada is considered to have better control.
Both figure prominently in the Orioles plans for 2012 and both likely will be in the rotation this season, depending on how they progress in the spring.
Hammel, 29, was 7-13 with a 4.76 ERA last season with the Rockies. The talla Gold Glove for his defensive work behind the plate. The former No. 1 pick also is showing some signs of leadership on the team.
Shortstop J.J. Hardy finally shook off injuries that plagued him since he was with the Brewers in 2008 as he hit 30 home runs and drove in 80 runs.
Third baseman Mark Reynolds was pretty much as advertised. He did not hit for average and struck out 196 times but he also hit 37 home runs and drove in 87 runs.
Former Rangers first baseman Chris Davis is pretty much a carbon copy of Reynolds at first base only he does most of his striking out from the left side.
The Orioles will likely platoon veterans Endy Chavez and Nolan Reimold in the outfield and look for

In addition to honoring Kowalski and Swanson, the ceremony honored men and women whose lives were forever changed that day.
On the morning of the attack, 12 B-17 Flying Fortresses were traveling from Hamilton Field, Calif. to the Philippines. The first aircraft arrived over Hickam Field during the Japanese attack and was strafed. The aircraft broke in two after landing and 1st Lt William Shlick, the flight doctor, managed to get out of the aircraft. He was killed by a Japanese bulletwhile still on the flightline.
Swanson was a nightshift guard at the main gate and was relieved of duty before the attack. He was in bed when the bombing and strafing woke him. He got dressed, grabbed his helmet and gun, and headed back to his post. Upon returning to the guard post he witness a friend, U.S. Army Air Corps Pfc. James Strickland get hit by an enemy bullet.
During this time, then Master Sgt. Kowalski, heard the explosions from base housing and immediately reported to the wing headquarters building, where he worked for the wing commander. Kowalski spent the day manning the phones for the commander and maintaining the official list of Hickam Field casualties.

For many people, Botox is synonymous with the best non-surgical anti-aging treatment in the world. Both men andwomen, including many celebrities, have enjoyed the cosmetic benefits of Botox for several years. However, not much is known commonly about the medical benefits of Botox. Botox has received approvals from FDA to treat several medical conditions, and in fact, Botox was originally created to address medical conditions, while cosmetic benefits followed later.
Botox Insights
Scientists discovered botulinum toxin, the chemical that is used to produce Botox, more than a century ago. For several decades, researchers continued to test the usability and effectiveness of Botox to treat various medical conditions. When Botox was used in 1980 to treat eye conditions such as crossed eye and involuntary blinking, doctors observed that the treatment also resulted in fading away of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.

that time, he would have seen it as he walked through the area. On and off during the 15 minutes before Mrs. Heath's incident, he could see down the meat market aisle. However, the aisle between where they were stocking and where the incident occurred had some dump bins and displays in the middle of it and his view would have been obstructed.
Doles testified that Mrs. Heath came up to where he and McVay were stocking and told him that she had slipped on a banana peel, but didn't fall because she caught herself on her buggy. Mrs. Heath told him that she was hurt and he went to get his manager, Roy Shaw. Doles saw the peel after Mrs. Heath's accident; Doles described the peel as solidyellow.
Donald McVay testified that part of his job as utility clerk was to keep the store clean. Specifically, he was told to constantly look at the floors for debris while he worked. McVay stated that he and Doles were stocking near the center aisle on the date of Mrs. Heath's accident. This required McVay to walk to the back room for merchandise from time to time. While walking from the front of the store to the back approximately five minutes before the incident, he looked down the aisle where the peel was and didn't see a peel on the floor. McVay noted that he could see down the aisle when walking to the back room, but not from where the two clerks were stocking because the center aisle

items for a fundraiser held in Mr. Coleman's riding of Fort Langley-Aldergrove on Nov. 8. Mr. Coleman said the auction items fetched little cash.
The amendment to the province's mark-up policies, announced to beer suppliers on Nov. 14, instantly drew the attention of the National Brewers' Association, which arranged a meeting with a small group of B.C. Liberal Party backbenchers to protest against the decision. According to sources, representatives from the association attempted to draw a line from Mr. Kinsella to the donation Ms. Komatsu made to Mr. Coleman to the policy change.
The new rules would allow a company like Pacific Western to make inroads into the market share of the province's larger breweries, which are taxed at a higher rate. Concerns expressed by the association over the opticsof the change were enough to prompt a brief discussion among the MLAs about possibly getting a special prosecutor involved to look into the matter. Instead, the group decided to seek answers from Premier Christy Clark's chief of staff Dan Doyle.
On Tuesday, caucus members were invited to dial into a telephone conference where Mr. Coleman explained how he is handling the issue.
The policy change concerns the mark-up that the government charges breweries in B.C. based on their annual production. In B.C., most of the breweries are either small, cottage entities or big, national brands such as Molson and Labatt. Pacific Western would be the first to benefit from the changes, because they are poised to hit a production limit of 160,000 hectolitres this week. Without a change in

a type of buffalo either. Its closest living relations are thought to be goats and sheep, but taxonomically and metaphorically, the musk ox is in an icy cubicle of its own. Once abundant throughout the northern latitudes worldwide, today they are found only in Arctic North America, Greenland and pockets of Siberia and Scandinavia. The musk ox is a holdover from the Pleistocene, the age of the giant mammals memorialized in natural history murals everywhere the mammoths and mastodons, the saber-toothed cats, the giant ground sloths, the 400-pound beavers. Yet while a vast majority of the frost-fitted bigfoots disappeared at the end of the last ice age, 10,000 years ago, Ovibos hung on, as stubbornly as the ox it is not.

In 2007 she again spoke out against former warlords and war criminals in the Afghan parliament and was thereupon suspended from the parliament.

and Herat, women have some jobs and education, but in most of Afghanistan their lives are hell. The media don't write much about the many women who are raped or stoned to death in public. Hundreds of schools have been closed, and even in Kabul women don't have security going to school; in many provinces acid is thrown in their faces. In most places killing a woman is still as easy as killing a bird.
Due to lack of justice and pressure on women, last year 2300 suicide cases were recorded among Afghan women, which has no parallel in our history.
These warlords are misogynists, just like the Taliban, and they don't want women's rights in Afghanistan; a few token fundamentalist ladies wearing beautiful clothes should not fool people. Andmany of the women who have positions, who run NGOs, are corrupt and have received money from the occupation; they betray the truth and justify the U.S. occupation and are even ready to negotiate with the Taliban. Through this, the situation of women will become more bloody and more of a disaster.
Under the U.S./NATO occupation, there is day by day a widening gap between rich and poor. A small percentage of drug-lords, warlords and corrupt officials have everything in their hands while a large majority of the people suffers from poverty and unemployment. Under the occupation, Afghanistan has become the biggest producer of opium and heroin in the world.

measures which also affect the general population. In this we are in strong agreement with the Iranian opposition.
In a recent letter to Parliament, Foreign Minister Maxime Verhagen wrote that the Netherlands, together with other countries, believes that Europe should take additional measures to strengthen and broaden those taken by the Security Council. He wants to see a more effective sanctions regime against Iran's nuclear energy policy. According to the opposition the regime is at the present time using the nuclear programme to distract attention from the human rights situation in Iran. Since the disputed elections of 12th June 2009, Iran's tone concerning its nuclear programme has become harsher. Last winter President Ahmadinejad announced that his country had now succeeded in enriching uranium to 20 percent in order tobe hit by the sanctions and the country's democratic movement weakened, because of which the radical Islamicists will gain support amongst the general population. That is why we are advocating political sanctions against Iranian leaders responsible for the repression of the regime's opponents.
Resolution 1929 has been effected after months of negotiations. Russia and China, after much humming and hawing, have agreed to it, but Turkey, Brazil and Lebanon would not do so. Turkey and Brazil recently achieved an important diplomatic success by breathing new life into an agreement which had previously fallen through. Exchange of low enriched uranium will, according to this accord, take place in Turkey, and Iran will be provided with material which it can make use of in the medical sector.

guarantees of security for the Iranian regime, can offer a way out of the impasse surrounding the country's nuclear programme. Iran is sensitive to this. In 2003 Iranian President Katami proposed a dialogue with the US on the basis of mutual respect and recognition. In exchange, Iran would renounce its support for Hamas, support the disarming of Hezbollah in Lebanon and supply completely transparent data on the Iranian nuclear programme. At the time, the proposal was ignored.
Now that power relations between China, the US and Russia have changed, it is time to reach a sensible settlement in which the interests of all countries are taken into account. More stringent sanctions and a subsequent threat of military intervention serves to isolate Iran still further and makes its people adouble victim, of the regime and of the international community. The Iranian people are thus not helped by this, while Europe and the world become no better.
Harry van Bommel, MP, and Dutch-Iranian writer Nikita Shahbazi are both members of the SP.

discharged from employment, purportedly as a result of his failure to return from medical leave. That termination decision was eventually overturned by an arbitrator upon the plaintiff's grievance. Thereafter, the third-party defendant-employer provided him with weekly disability benefits retroactive to the date of their discontinuance in April of 1981. Long term disability payments for the six-month period from January through June of 1982 were ultimately provided as well.
Based on supplemental medical examinations, diagnoses, and reports, the employer eventually determined that the plaintiff was able to perform light duty work with certain restrictions and thus directed him to report for reemployment on January 3, 1983. The plaintiff did not return to work but instead voluntarily reentered the hospital, presumably for additional medical treatments. Following its receipt and review ofyet another physician's statement of disability, the third-party defendant-employer determined that the plaintiff was, indeed, capable of returning to work with certain medical restrictions, ordered him to resume his employment in February of *313 1983, and discontinued long term disability benefits as of March of 1983.
Although the plaintiff never returned to work, he was placed on capacity layoff shortly after termination of his benefit payments. In May of 1983, the plaintiff sought reconsideration of the decision terminating his long term disability benefits a request again reviewed by the employer's medical personnel who, as before, determined that the plaintiff-employee was not disabled. There is apparently no dispute that the plaintiff never initiated grievance proceedings under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement as a means of protesting the

there was a Murrayfield semi-final against England. It was a curiously disappointing game, utterly lacking in sparkle. No tries were scored. England won narrowly, thanks to a Rob Andrew drop goal, but not before Gavin Hastings had, quite uncharacteristically, missed a penalty in front of the posts.
The next season saw Scotland maintain its position in the middle rank of the Five Nations. Two wins a season was the norm. Ireland were consistently beaten home or away, but England were too strong, and the succession of defeats in Paris continued, the last win there having come as far back us 1969. At the end of the 1993 season, McGeechan stepped down as coach after 33 matches, 19 of which had been won. Telfer had taken up the new postof director of rugby, with new coaches Richie Dixon and David Johnston.
These years saw the reconstruction of Murrayfield. The East Stand had been built in the early 1980s. Now the old terracing was removed and the ground became all seated. The new North and South Stands were opened for the Irish match in 1993, and the reconstruction of the West Stand followed. Many regretted the transformation of the ground, while admitting that it had been admirably done. Certainly, it is less atmospheric than it was in the days when the West Stand stood alone and the terracing created a gigantic bowl.
The third World Cup came around in 1995, and was held in South Africa, the country having returned to the fold after its transition to majority rule. Talk

Press' library or its subscription list.
With the closing of the Scripps-Press Publishing transaction, Scripps stopped publishing the Press, Press Publishing commenced operations, and the October 29, 1980 letter agreement terminating the Union-Scripps relationship took effect. Union employees continued to publish the Press and performed under the terms contained in the October 15, 1980 letter agreement between Combs and Press Publishing, and under the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Scripps played no further role in operating the Press or in managing the newspaper's employees.
B.
When Press Publishing took over the Press on October 31, 1980, it introduced various changes in the newspaper's format and style in an effort to increase circulation and profits. Among the improvements noted by Cole were a Sunday edition, a morning street sale edition, a magazine oriented towardsyounger readers, circulation and promotion drives, and increased use of color in the paper's graphics.
Monthly operation statements reveal that between November of 1980 and August of 1981, the Press lost approximately one-half million dollars each month. By late 1981, according to Cole and James P. Maloney, Jr.a consultant who became a minority shareholder in Press Publishing at that time and was actively involved in managing the paperlosses had increased to between $750,000 and $1 million each month and Press Publishing had exhausted its credit.
Shortly after it began operating the Press, Press Publishing approached Plain Dealer management concerning relations between the competing newspapers. In December of 1980, Cole arranged a meeting with Samuel I. Newhouse, Jr., the chairman of the board of Advance Publications, Inc., the parent company which

capital, Del-Com commenced operations by securing a loan from National City Bank; it invested approximately $100,000 to purchase computer lists from a Columbus firm, which it used to generate the lists of Press non-subscribers who were to receive Rainbow Express.
Press Publishing simultaneously turned its attention from finding new investors in the Press to finding a buyer for the newspaper. It commissioned Edward R. Padilla, a communications consultant and former vice president of the newspaper division of the Washington Post Company, to find a buyer. Padilla contacted six potential buyers, but by May of 1982 advised Press Publishing that none were interested in purchasing the paper. Maloney's subsequent efforts to find a buyer were also unsuccessful.
C.
The data concerning the financial plight of the Press in the spring of 1982is decidedly mixed. On the one hand, Press Publishing sustained operating losses of $751,957 in April and $703,704 in May. After Cole and Maloney borrowed an additional $2 million, the two men decided not to put any more of their personal funds into the newspaper. At the same time, an April 7, 1982 Press Publishing memorandum on the company's future projected monthly profits, from $49,720 in April up to $401,620 in August.
During the same period contacts between Press Publishing and Plain Dealer resumed. Cole had met with Newhouse again on March 19, 1982 and had received another negative response to his request for a joint operating agreement. According to the Newhouse and Cole depositions, Cole then told Newhouse that he was considering shutting down the Press and offered

agreement which require heavy weapons and jihadist insurgents to be withdrawn from a buffer zone.
Under its deals with Moscow, Ankara has forces stationed on the ground in the Idlib region at a dozen military positions.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry declined immediate comment.
The region - including Idlib province and parts of nearby Hama - was part of the last major stronghold of armed opposition to President Bashar al-Assad, who has vowed to reclaim all of Syria.
Rebel factions, which had agreed to the latest ceasefire to give civilians a reprieve from the heavy bombing while reserving the right to respond to attacks, said the Syrian army had violated the ceasefire by maintaining its shelling of populated areas.
A week-long aerial attack on cities in Hama and southern Idlib province before the ceasefirerebels group, told Reuters.
Rebels say Moscow has deployed special troops to make a military breakthrough with no success in one of the biggest campaigns waged by Moscow in Syria since its direct intervention in Syria in September 2015.
For three months, an army offensive backed by Russia has killed at least 400 civilians in northwest Syria and uprooted more than 440,000 people, the United Nations says.
Residents and rescuers say the three-month-old campaign has left dozens of villages and towns in ruins.
Russia and its Syrian army ally deny their jets indiscriminately hit civilian areas with cluster munitions and incendiary weapons, which residents in opposition areas say are meant to paralyze everyday life.

East Jerusalem was built by the UN and Jordanian government in 1956 to house Palestinian refugees from the 1948 war. The al-Kurd family began living in the neighbourhood after having been made refugees from Jaffa and West Jerusalem. However, with the the start of the Israeli occupation of East Jerusalem, following the 1967 war, settlers began claiming ownership of the land the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood was build on.
Stating that they had purchased the land from a previous Ottoman owner in the 1800s, settlers claimed ownership of the land. In 1972 settlers successfully registered this claim with the Israeli Land Registrar. While the al-Kurds family continued legal proceedings challenging the settlers claim, the settlers started filing suits against the Palestinian family.
In 2006, the court ruled the settlers claim void,recognizing it was based on fraudulent documents. Subsequently, the Al-Kurd family lawyer petitioned the Israeli Land Registrar to revoke the settlers registration of the land and state the correct owner of the land. Although it did revoke the settlers claim, the Israeli land Registrar refused to indicate the rightful owner of the land.
In 2001 settlers began occupying an extension of the al-Kurd home. Despite the fact that their claim to the land was revoked, settlers were given the keys of the al-Kurds family home extension by the local Israeli municipality. This was possible after the municipality had confiscated the keys of the extension that the al-Kurd family built on their property to house the natural expansion of the family. When this extension was declared illegal by Israeli authorities,

The Secretary-General was requested to appoint a Special Representative to co-ordinate the implementation of the international presence. The Council authorized countries and international organisations to establish a security presence in Kosovo, affirming the need for the immediate deployment of the international civil and security presences. The responsibilities of the international security presence included deterring new hostilities, monitoring the withdrawal of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, demilitarising the Kosovo Liberation Army and other Kosovo Albanian groups and ensuring a safe environment in which refugees could return.
The Secretary-General was authorized to establish an international civilian presence in Kosovo to provide an interim administration whereby Kosovo could exercise governance - pending a final status solution - through the establishment ofSecurities exchanges facilitate trading of various financial instruments such as stocks, bonds, and other securities such as unit trusts, exchange-traded funds, exchange-traded derivatives, Intellidexes, options and other financial instruments.

Alba's cross. From the following ball in, Andre Gomes was first to win it, forcing Craig Gordon into a good reflex save from his header.
Messi opener crafted by Neymar
Despite being 7-0 victors against the same opposition just weeks ago, Barcelona knew that it would take a little more to unlock the door at Celtic Park, and some Neymar magic was indeed required to set Lionel Messi up for the opener after 24 minutes.
Facing the Celtic defence up with the ball at his feet, there didn't seem to be much on for the Brazilian, only for him to scoop a lovely ball over a cluster of heads and into Messi's path, the Argentine drilling low past Craig Gordon.
Celtic responded fairly well as Moussa Dembele had a powerful effort fromthe left well saved by Marc Andre Ter-Stegen. However, it could, and should, have been 2-0 before the interval, Gordon again required to intervene as he flung an arm out to stop Luis Suarez from adding to Barcelona's lead when presented with a free header inside the area.
If Celtic were going to come back into the game, they'd have to make good of any chances they could muster, something that Brendan Rodgers' side failed to do at the start of the second half.
Callum McGregor found room on the edge of the area, but sent a weak effort into Ter-Stegen's palms, whilst Moussa Dembele's free header from a James Forrest cross went straight at the German 'keeper.

masterly work.
The fools do not understand what they read. The mediocre think they
understand thoroughly. Great minds do not always understand every page
of a book; they think obscure that which is obscure, and clear that
which is clear. The pedantic find obscure that which is not, and refuse
to understand that which is perfectly clear.
Moliere would have been a perfect writer had he only avoided jargon and
barbarisms, and written more purely.
Ronsard had in him enough good and bad to form great disciples in prose
and verse.
Corneille, at his best, is original and inimitable, but he is uneven.
He had a sublime mind, and has written a few verses which are among the
best ever written.
Racine is more human. He has imitated the Greek classics, and in his
tragedies there is simplicity, clearness, and pathos.

worthy master, if you descried in me some expression of wonder at your
simplicity. You would define to a hair's breadth the qualities, states,
and dependencies of principalities, dominations, and powers; you would
be unerring about the apostles and the churches, and 'tis marvellous
how you wander about a pot-herb!
HOOKER: I know my poor, weak intellects, most noble lord, and how
scantily they have profited by my hard painstaking. Wisdom consisteth
not in knowing many things, nor even in knowing them thoroughly, but
in choosing and in following what conduces the most certainly to our
lasting happiness and true glory.

I did not read books the first summer; I hoed beans. Nay, I often did
better than this. There were times when I could not afford to sacrifice
the bloom of the present moment to any work, whether of the head or
hands. I love a broad margin to my life. Sometimes on a summer morning,
having taken my accustomed bath, I sat in my sunny doorway from sunrise
till noon, rapt in a reverie, amidst the pines and hickories and
sumachs in undisturbed solitude and stillness, while the birds sang
around or flitted noiseless through the house, until by the sun falling
in at my west window, or the noise of some traveller's waggon on the
distant highway, I was reminded of the

opening the right tunica vaginalis, approximately 5 ml of pus was found, apparently coming down from the right groin. His right testicle appeared entirely normal. The scrotal abscess was drained, the area washed thoroughly with saline, and the scrotal wall closed in two layers with absorbable sutures. A Lanz incision was made to explore his right iliac fossa. It was found that he had a perforated retrocecal appendix, resulting in an abscess extending into the pelvis. The appendix was excised and the abdominopelvic abscess drained. Thorough saline lavage was performed, and the wound was closed without insertion of an abdominal drain. He was given three days of postoperative intravenous antibiotics.
The patient made an excellent recovery and was well at clinic follow-up four weeks later.

In the court below the action was dismissed as to all defendants other than the Nevada Industrial Commission and was then submitted to the court for decision on the following agreed statement of facts.
On October 3, 1957, while he was acting as a carrier newsboy for Reno Newspapers, Inc., Bibb was injured by an automobile driven by Marilyn Wright. Prior to October 3, 1957, and when he was 16 years old, John Stephen Bibb entered into an agreement with Reno Newspapers, Inc., whereby Bibb became the

The non-profit Nóos Institute - which until mid-2006 was co-owned by Iñaki Urdangarin, the son-in-law of King Juan Carlos - deposited in a checking account at La Caixa nearly nine million euros between March 2004 and July 2007. During that time, Urdangarin and his partner managed most of the contracts at Nóos Institute, which were awarded to them by regional governments without a bidding process. Most came from substantial public agencies that hired the institute to organize tourism and sporting events, at which famous celebrities and athletes were present.
From that checking account at La Caixa - which was opened in the name of the nonprofit organization and where the only people authorized to make withdrawals were Urdangarin and Torres - most of the nine million euros were transferredto seven private companies, all for-profit and owned by the king's son-in-law or his partner, Diego Torres.
An analysis of the bank account and another 39 accounts at six banks - all in the name of one of the companies - has led the police to conclude that Urdangarin and Torres, along with their wives, directly received three million euros from Nóos.
A good part of this allocation of funds, 1.9 million euros, was taken by Torres and his wife, while 1.1 million euros went to the Duke of Palma and his wife, Princess Cristina.
The money received by Urdangarin and the princess, according to the police report, includes amounts that came from the Nóos Institute and went directly to Aizoon, the company owned jointly by Urdangarin and the king's daughter.

However, a drawback of turning off power to the entire building is that specific systems within the building are not able to provide assistance during evacuation of the building, such as elevators, automatic locking doors, escalators, phone and intercom systems, and dispatching systems.

Now thousands of birds are dead thought to have asphyxiated by gases and vapours of Agung volcano as the colossus prepares to blow
Thousands of birds are reported to have died on the island of Bali.
It is believed the birds have been overcome by the toxic gases being released from Mount Agung as it erupts, however, the death of the birds has not been confirmed.Warnings that a volcano on the Indonesian tourist island of Bali will erupt have sparked an exodus of nearly 100,000 people that is likely to continue to swell, the country's disaster agency said Tuesday. Authorities have ordered the evacuationThe CIA's top officer in Algeria has been returned to Washington amid allegations that he drugged and raped two women at his Algiers residence, an accusation that presents the Obama administration's new intelligence team with an unexpected legal and diplomatic crisis even before it officially takes office.
The 41-year-old Algiers station chief was ordered home by the State Department after a months-long investigation of alleged sexual assaults in September 2007 and February of last year, U.S. officials confirmed yesterday. The two women involved in the incidents told U.S. diplomats that they became unconscious after receiving what they believed were knockout drugs served to them in drinks.
The alleged assaults, if confirmed, are viewed as particularly serious because they could potentially damage diplomatic relations with Algeria, a U.S. ally, and undermine

The present invention relates to the field of loudspeakers, and more particularly to loudspeakers with independent magnetic dampening and excursion control.
Conventional loudspeakers produce audible sounds by displacing air via the movement of a diaphragm. Specifically, the diaphragm is attached to and moves under the control of a voice coil, through which electric currents associated with the sounds to be reproduced are driven. The voice coil is disposed in an annular air gap defined by a pole assembly. The pole assembly includes a permanent magnet that provides radial flux in the air gap. Current through the voice coil interacts with this flux to provide axial forces on the coil and thereby displace the coil and attached diaphragm.
The displacement or movement of the voice coil is controlled by the magnitudeand direction of current in the coil and the resulting axial forces. If sufficiently high current is provided to the coil, the movement of the voice coil is limited only by the construction of the loudspeaker. Specifically, the outward movement is limited by the diaphragm or spider reaching their respective full extension. The inward movement is similarly limited by the diaphragm or spider reaching full excursion and additionally through direct contact with the pole assembly by the dust cap or the spider, or by the voice coil contacting the backplate. Over a period of time, the repeated use of these components of the loudspeaker to limit the movement of the voice coil can have significant and detrimental effects on the component parts, as well as the overall performance

combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
To achieve the foregoing and other objects, and in accordance with the purposes of the present invention as described herein, there is provided a loudspeaker with independent magnetic dampening and excursion control for generating sound from an electrical current. The loudspeaker includes a basket, a voice coil through which the current flows, a diaphragm and a spider attached to the voice coil and basket, a pole assembly for locating the voice coil, a permanent magnet for producing a magnetic field interacting with the current to produce a movement of the voice coil, and first and second magnets that produce magnetic flux forces that provide independent dampening and excursion control. The effect of the dampening and limiting magnets is to substantially reduce,if not eliminate, detrimental contact between or over extension of the component parts of the loudspeaker.
More specifically, the pole assembly includes a pole yoke supported by a backplate, and a top plate. The pole yoke extends from the backplate through the permanent magnet and the top plate thereby defining the inner diameter of an annular gap within which the voice coil moves. The top plate and permanent magnet define the outer diameter of the gap.
Preferably, the first dampening magnet is supported by the pole yoke and the second dampening magnet is supported by and moves in concert with the voice coil. As the voice coil moves within the annular gap, the interaction of the magnetic flux forces between the dampening magnets provides a repelling or dampening force that

put him to an open shame.
Harder to do than one might expect according to Joseph Smith:
All sins shall be forgiven, except the sin against the Holy Ghost; for Jesus will save all except the sons of perdition. What must a man do to commit the unpardonable sin? He must receive the Holy Ghost, have the heavens opened unto him, and know God, and then sin against him. After a man has sinned against the Holy Ghost, there is no repentance for him. He has got to say that the sun does not shine while he sees it; he has got to deny Jesus Christ when the heavens have been opened unto him, and to deny the plan of salvation with his eyes open to the truth of it.In Ernest Cline's novel Ready Player One, the world's population spends most of its time inside the OASIS, a simulator and ultimate operating system that provides access to an endless amount of games, videos and media to the world. At the Internet Archive, a nonprofit dedicated to open access to as much content as possible, a new in-browser interface allows instant access to tens of thousands of microcomputer programs, console games, and emulated vintage hardware. Author Ernest Cline and Internet Archive's software curator Jason Scott discuss the similarities between OASIS and the Archive, the consequences and results of a world with endless vintage computing access, and what parts of the 1980s they're working the hardest to save.

Art Metal Construction Company is a Massachusetts corporation, with principal office in the State of New York. It has not been domesticated in Virginia, has no resident agent here, and has not designated the Secretary of this Commonwealth as its agent for service of process. It has factories at Jamestown, New York, where the corporation's records are kept. Its officers reside in New York and Massachusetts. It has branch offices in nine large cities in different States, in which States it has qualified to do business; but never has had any branch office in the State of Virginia. It does not own any real or personal property inwholesale division of the defendant in certain territory, including Virginia. He resides in New Jersey, and has an office in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is paid a specified salary, and his traveling expenses by the defendant corporation. He holds no corporate office with the defendant, has no power to pledge the credit of the corporation, or bind it with any obligation. He has no power to pass upon any credit extension by the corporation or collect money due it. He does not sell anything directly. He has no authority to make dealer appointments or cancellations.

In general, he is, within a prescribed territory, a contact man operating between the defendant and its dealers. At the time of the service of the notice upon him, he was present in a convention or showroom in Norfolk, viewing a display of office supplies and fixtures manufactured by various concerns, including the defendant.
Throughout the taking of the depositions, and in the *143 examination of witnesses heard ore tenus, plaintiff repeatedly undertook to elicit evidence that the defendant was doing business in Virginia. Counsel for plaintiff expressed his position as follows: city of Norfolk at the time of the service of the process. The trial judge told the plaintiff he would be allowed to present additional evidence, provided it was not purely cumulative to that already heard, stating that he had not been convinced that the court had jurisdiction.
Plaintiff was then allowed to present, for the purpose of the record, the additional evidence which he contended showed that defendant had a place of business in Norfolk and was doing business in Virginia. This evidence consisted of a large number of written and printed exhibits, catalogs, price lists, advertising blotters, display matter, business cards, letters and telegrams, and a group of papers variously dated 1937, 1942, and 1943. It was not shown or claimed that Larrimore was

behind. The Gauls in this section were quickly routed and cut down by the Roman cavalry; Vercassivellaunus himself was taken alive. The defenders of the city saw this disaster from their perch and called their soldiers back from the field. Those Gauls who survived the slaughter at the outer wall returned to their camp, causing the rest of the Gallic host to flee. That night the Roman cavalry attacked their rear, killing or capturing the remaining warriors.
On the next day, envoys from Alesia informed Caesar that Vercingetorix had convened the Gallic leaders so that they could decide how to proceed, whether they wished to execute or surrender him. Caesar demanded that they lay down their arms. The chieftains met him at the front of his camp, surrendered theirweapons, and delivered Vercingetorix unto him. Having captured Alesia, Caesar gave one captive to each of his surviving soldiers as a reward.
The fall of Alesia did not mark the end of the Gallic Wars, but it was their final major conflict. Roman forces continued to eliminate remaining insurgent pockets for the next two summers, thus securing the whole of Gaul for the republic. As leader of this revolt, Vercingetorix was sent to Rome in chains, and the Senate honoured Caesar with a 20-day supplicatio for his successes in the field.

I was in the kitchen of my mother's house at 2828 North Eighth Street, with two of my friends. We were fixing motor bikes. Some other fellows came into the house and they had a girl with them. They sat in a little room for awhile; they were talking about some drugs. Then they went upstairs. Then me and my friends also went upstairs. Some of the fellows and the girl went into the middle room and closed the door. Me and my friends went into my mother's room; there is a door between my mother's room and the second floor middle bedroom and the door has a lot of holes in it. We took turns peaking through the holes, at what was going on.
I saw they wereon the bed and the girl was crying. Then one of the guys came out of the middle room and asked me if I wanted some. I said that I would think about it. A couple of minutes later I went into the middle room. The girl was lying on the bed and her pants were back up. Someone pulled her pants back down. She was on the bed, on her back, and I got on her. I got inside her a couple of seconds and got right out, because she started crying. I got off of her and she pulled her pants back up. I got out of the room and left the house. Someone took the girl's coat and someone took her wallet, and the girl

As a young girl, I would wrap my arms around her thin neck, feeling every bone and tendon through my chunky fingers. And tuck my freckled chin into the little hollow between her neck and collarbone, jutting my neck into a painfully awkward position, but I didn't care, because it was my favorite spot in the whole world. And now, as a young woman, I can see the skin in my favorite spot getting leathered, worn, sagged, covered in sun spots. The creases around her silver-blue eyes get ever deeper, carving defined canyons through her buttery skin. The corners of her mouth creased with slivers of white, a permanent reminder she's never run out of things to smile about.

key role in bringing the slaughter in Europe to an end. The other combatants had been fighting since 1914 and neither had the resources to bring the battle to a conclusion. Like punch drunken boxers in a bare knuckle fight they were hanging on to one another throwing ineffectual punches. Each punch thrown resulted in the death or wounding of tens of thousands of men. The American military was enough to swing the balance over to the side of the Allies, primarily, Britain and France. However, the issues behind the conflict were not resolved and continued to fester. Twenty years later we were once again facing a war in Europe, World War II.
When the Forks Rifle Club started holding as-issued military rifle matches, it provided shooters with theour first vintage sniper rifle team match. There were only a few of us. Regular infantry rifles were available, but as-issued sniper rifles were far and few between, but it was interesting. The old Weaver 330 on my Springfield 03A4 had nowhere near the windage adjustment even if I wanted to subject the 70-year-old scope to that kind of abuse. Instead, I just held on the far side of the number board on the next target.
Soon, we had added M1 Carbine matches to the mix and now even have state championship matches for the M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, vintage military rifles and vintage sniper rifle. As more individuals got sniper rifles, they wanted another match after all the rest of the outdoor shooting was over. Not to be

denied, we set up a Battle of the Bulge vintage sniper rifle match. The match was set up loosely around the Battle of the Bulge fought in December of 1944 and January of 1945. It was our first match commemorating a battle. It was held on January 11, 2014. Since the target pits were full of snow on the high power range, the targets consisted of cardboard silhouettes in stands on the berm in front of the target pit, which were shot from 300 and 600 yards.
The next December, it was a Marine battle, the Battle for Fox Hill, in Korea that was commemorated. Again, this was a vintage sniper match. For this match, we moved the targets over to the silhouette range and shot them at 200,300, 385 and 500 meters. It was shot the first Saturday in December 2014. The actual battle was fought right after Thanksgiving 1950. With each successive year, more emphasis is placed upon the fact surrounding the battle that is being commemorated.
In December 2015, it was the World War II Battle of Attu which was fought on the frozen tundra of Attu Island in the Allusion Chain southwest of Alaska. This battle was actually fought in May of 1943, but the wind swept frozen ground and no cover conditions on the battle field are not too far from the Forks Rifle Range in December.
In December of 2016, it was the World War II Battle of Monte de Difensa in the Italian Campaign. In this battle, the 1st Special Services

land has been ravaged, and those who have defended it have been harassed or killed. The average lifespan of the Orang Asli barely pushes 50; they have the lowest literacy rates in the country and are subject to overt prejudice and racism. The Kelantan Islamic council, an influential regional religious body, has an explicitly stated mission to convert all Orang Asli to Islam in the next 20 years.
The Batek living in Kuala Koh are widely regarded as one of the most neglected of the Orang Asli. Until 2010 their nomadic way of life was rooted firmly in the jungle, but in 2007, without consultation, bulldozers moved in and the trees began to be felled around them to make way for vast plantations of trees for palm oil. Theirhome was ravaged as thousands of acres of jungle were flattened and replanted with palms. Palm oil is a lucrative crop in high global demand that has since become the source of great controversy for the devastating environmental impact it has had in Malaysia and Indonesia. It is now the subject of an EU ban.

In 2010 the federal government gave the tribe a piece of land with half a dozen concrete houses to form a settlement. Although the houses were equipped with sinks, they still have no running water or electricity. Furnished only with muddied sleeping mats and bright orange tents erected in some of the rooms where they sleep, these houses are dark and dirty. With

It was Halid who, back in early May, when people in the tribe began falling ill and dying, attempted to get the authorities to send medical help. For weeks, he said, his calls were ignored. It was not until his social media post went viral that, on 4 June, the department of health sent a van to take them to hospital.
There were too many sick people to take in one day, but it took another five days for a second van to come to the settlement. They had to wait until a national holiday had ended to pick up the rest. In the meantime, two more Batek, including a young child, had died in the village. Rosli Long, whose three-year-old son died in hospitalin the Malaysian state of Sabah for oil palm cultivation led to the proportion of forest coverage declining from 51% to 15%. A 2013 study estimated that between 1990 and 2008, 1.4 million hectares of forest in Malaysia were lost to palm oil plantations, wreaking environmental havoc and devastating the habitats of critically endangered animals, including orangutans and tigers.
Yet, while Malaysia has come under fire from environmental bodies and the EU over deforestation for palm oil plantations, its government has staunchly defended the trade.
To worsen the situation, it has also focused on attempting to make Malaysia the Asian centre for the lucrative mining and production of manganese - to meet growing demand from China but resulting in further deforestation. It has actively encouraged foreign investment in the manganese

of ions in the second active area and a third concentration of ions in the first active area that is greater than the first and second concentrations. As a result, the level of ion concentration can be higher at the edge of an active channel region than at the center of the channel. The increased concentration of ions in the active area adjacent to the side wall of the trench may reduce a leakage current between the source and drain regions of the transistor when voltage that is less than a threshold voltage of the transistor is applied to the gate electrode of the transistor. Thus, a reduction in the threshold voltage of the transistor can be inhibited.
In transistor devices according to the invention, an isolation structure islocated in an integrated circuit substrate. An active region of the substrate is adjacent to the isolation structure, the active area includes a source region of the transistor and a drain region of the transistor having a channel region therebetween. A first active area of the active region is adjacent to the isolation structure and has a first concentration level of ions of a conductivity type. A second active area is in the active region and is separated from the isolation structure by the first active area and has a second concentration level of ions of the conductivity type that is less than the first concentration level of ions.

grandsons. The boys decided to go to Lee=s house to get J.B.C. and his video game, AMadden 2005,@ so that
together they could return to Franks=s house to smoke some pot and play the video game. Upon arriving at the house, the four boys
went to the back door. After banging on
the door and getting no immediate answer, Michael went around to the front
door. The other three boys stayed at the
back door. With a Aghostly look@ on her
face, Lee eventually answered the back door and, without saying a word, let the
boys in the house. Lee immediately went
back down the hallway towards her bedroom.
Apparently the noise created
by the four boys as they came in the house awakened J.B.C., who hadhouse to help.
He found Lee=s body
behind the bed. When he tried to lift
her, a gun came out from underneath her body.
Not until the paramedics arrived and turned Lee=s body over did Ludwick remember seeing any blood.
Paramedics arrived on the
scene within minutes of being dispatched to what they believed was a cardiac
arrest. It was only after paramedic Todd
Farmer turned over Lee=s body that
he saw that her hair was matted with blood and brain matter was running from
her nose. Her skin was still warm to the
