23, 1998. McEvoy's affidavit further stated that, after the interest issue was brought to defendant's attention, defendant immediately began sending security deposit interest checks to previous and current tenants. On December 23, 1997, defendant paid interest to tenants who had moved out in 1997 and left a forwarding address. Of the 49 checks issued on December 23, 1997, 47 checks were accepted and cashed within 30 to 45 days, one cleared the bank in July 1998, and the other was voided due to lapse of time. On February 13, 1998, defendant issued interest checks to all current tenants in good standing with their leases. Of the 69 interest checks tendered, 63 were accepted and cashed and six were voided due to lapse of time. According to McEvoy's affidavit,each year thereafter, defendant issued interest checks within 30 days of the anniversary date to the tenants in good standing with their leases. The November 13, 1997, letter from Calhoun to plaintiff demonstrated that interest on the security deposit was calculated at 5% in 1991, 1992, and the first eight months of 1993. For the last four months of 1993, all of 1994, and all of 1995, it was calculated at 3%. In 1996, and for the 10 months in 1997, interest was calculated at 2.3%.
Also attached to the motion for summary judgment was a February 17, 1998, letter from Hall to Huff thanking him for the interest payment check but informing Huff that it did not affect plaintiff's demand for damages and attorney fees.

way to deal with this seeming disconnect in a way that would get them back into voters' good graces. In the Reagan era, they found a way: repealing the 1948 FCC Fairness Doctrine, which required that those companies that owned broadcast licenses must present issues of public interest in objectively honest, equitable and balanced language. By doing so, they decoupled the concept of 'news' from that of 'truth', creating what experts called a 'post-truth society', and hearkening back to the United States' scurrilous pamphlet smear campaigns of the 1800s.
Since the late 80s/early 90s, American politics have been infected by Identity Politics; the concept that someone being a part of your group is more important than them sharing your moral values. By decoupling news and truth35

at Dragon. Cho'Gath teleports from top lane, while Amumu pops his ultimate. Kog'Maw takes out two champions, however Katarina counters with a triple kill thanks to Shen's Stand United shield. Ezreal cleans up for the ace onto MP and secures the Dragon and a 5 for 4 trade.
Kha'Zix finishes his Last Whisper; with 3 resets on his jump, he allows MP to turn around a pushed-out MRN group for a 3 for 0 trade. MP takes a substantial gold lead and continues to press their lead. In team-fights Cho'Gath and Amumu were simply too dominant in keeping Katarina from bursting out MP's carries.
With a massive 5v5 team-fight at Dragon, Katarina is focused out early from a Feast from Cho'Gath. Kog'Maw cleans up with an impressive Flash juke againstEzreal's Mystic Shot and secures a triple kill. Then, chasing a fleeing Shen, Cho'Gath barely takes him out in a close 1v1 battle.
MP then goes aggressive with Oracles Elixir and push out all the wards at Baron camp preparing for a fight. MP baits MRN and assassinates 3 members of their team. This leads to the final push with Kha'Zix easily deleting Ezreal off the map and MP taking the first game of the match-up.
With the risk of missing out on the Season 3 Championship Series, MRN needed to come out strong in the second game of the match-up. MP picked a very similar team composition compared to game one, however their positioning and team-fight execution lacked finesse in game two.
Both teams started by invading each-others jungles, and

secured blue buff for both junglers. This time, there were no early lane swaps, and Cho'Gath and Amumu combined to take out Olaf at top lane. MP reacted by tower diving Cho'Gath at bottom lane with a successful Shen taunt and a beastly Urgot.
Even with the assistance of Shen's Stand United, Urgot's ultimate catches a fleeing Kog'Maw, and MP secure a convincing 3 for nothing trade. In response, Amumu ganks bottom lane under the turret and combo's in for a 2 for nothing trade and an early Dragon.
The game went on back and fourth trading 1 for 1 battles in numerous scenarios. It wasn't until a five versus five team-fight emerged at mid lane. Catching MP out of position, MRN charge in for a 4 for 0 trade,turret, and Baron. MRN takes a substantial lead in the game.
MRN bait a team-fight near Baron, and Urgot catches MP's ADC out of position swapping places with him with his ultimate. With Baron buff, MRN pushes all lanes and head deep into MP's base. In a desperation fight, MP attempts to force MRN into retreat, however MRN turn the fight around and steamroll right back in for the Nexus and the win.
Game 3 starts off with a bang. Team MRN catches MP's Cho'Gath trying to ward Lizard Camp, and Nocturn secures the quick level 1 first blood. MRN used this early advantage to really put the heat on MP's early game. Aggressive counter jungling and consistent bottom lane ganks, helped MRN's Urgot push forward in creep score and

keep Vayne from reaching her late game.
Urgot was the story of this game. On numerous occasions, he was able to catch fleeing and out of position champions for convincing kills. Even with a few successful ganks from Cho'Gath onto Olaf, Nocturns overall map presence and Urgots utility devastated multiple team encounters in favor of MRN.
In a team fight at mid lane, MP chase onto MRN for a 5 versus 4 situation. It resolved in an even 3 for 3 trade thanks to Olaf's Teleport, however it was more beneficial for MP because Vayne was able to survive and catch up.
Then everything went downhill for MP. Everything was going in favor for MRN, keeping up the massive gold differential by taking numerous Dragons and pressuring multiple lanes at once.Vayne gets caught out of position, and Nocturn seizes the opportunity to cast Paranoia for a four for nothing trade as well as two of MP's turrets. In desperation, MP respawns and charges after a weakened MRN trying to return to base. Even though MRN was still weak from the previous engagement, they were able to kite down Cho'Gath and Vladimir who were arguably being too greedy.
With the gold difference at 11,000 and the score at 14-5, things were not looking too great for MP. Trying to stop MRN from picking up Baron, MP charges in. At one point during the fight, it looked as if Vayne could handle 3 members of MRN, however Olaf was able to divert attention from his team with a marathon run, surviving

No members of the family have been charged and some who were arrested on Sunday night by the FBI were quickly released
Rahami's wife is being questioned in the United Arab Emirates and his mother is thought to be in Turkey
The scorch marks left behind by the devices are revealed
The video was taken at the home in Elizabeth, New Jersey, by a family member, and was disclosed amid questions over what they knew
Federal charging documents reveal that Ahmad Rahami was captured on video letting off 'incendiary' device in his family's back yard
'Bomber': This is Ahmad Rahami, accused of the New York and New Jersey bombings and arrested on Monday, two days after the attacks
These are the burn marks left in his family home's back yard which the FBI believeare evidence of the chicken shop bomber practicing his attack - and being videoed doing it by a family member.
In exclusive DailyMail.com photos, large burned patches of grass can be seen in the backyard behind the fried chicken shop in Elizabeth, New Jersey.
According to the FBI's criminal complaint against Rahami, investigators found video on a family member's phone, filmed on September 15, which shows an explosion being set off in the back yard.
According to the court documents, the video 'depicts Rahimi igniting incendiary material in a cylindrical container'.
The pressure cooker and pipe bombs alleged to have been used in the New York and New Jersey attacks were said in the criminal complaint to have been made by Rahami using components he ordered online.

damage to the lawn in the family's back garden is clearly visible from a neighboring property
Burned: The damage to the grass is believed to have been caused by a 'practice' run by Rahami, according to the FBI - and it was videoed by a family member
More damage: The obvious burn mark on one side of the garden may not be the only one - there is also apparent damage to the grass on the other side
FBI allegation: How the federal agency described the alleged practice run in court documents filed early on Wednesday
Footage shows him igniting incendiary material in a cylinder and a fuse being lit followed by loud explosion and billowing smoke, as laughter is heard in the background, court papers say.
The family member who filmed thecomplaint in Manhattan federal court provides clues to the chilling motivations that authorities say drove the Afghan-born U.S. citizen to set off explosives in New York and New Jersey, injuring at least 30 people.
Rahami could face multiple life sentences over the attacks.
The federal criminal complaint, filed in the Southern District of New York, alleges that Rahami began buying bomb components in June, purchasing citric acid, circuit boards, ball bearings and electric igniters on eBay.
In a statement, the online auction site said it was 'proactively working with law enforcement authorities on their investigation' but that all the items he's bought are widely available and 'legal to buy and sell in the United States'.
And a journal revealed he hoped to die a martyr and pledged that his 'bombs will be

to question Rahami. But Rep. Tom MacArthur, R-N.J., who received a classified briefing from the FBI, said Rahami was not cooperating; that could also be a reflection of his injuries.
Investigators are looking into Rahami's overseas travel, including a visit to Pakistan a few years ago, and want to know whether he received any money or training from extremist organizations.
They believe he may have received terrorist training on his 'radicalization' trip to Pakistan where he visited the Taliban stronghold of Quetta.
The federal criminal complaint details the types of bombs used in the New York and New Jersey attacks. The New York explosive devices contained aluminum powder, ammonium nitrate and HMTD - a chemical used in multiple terrorist plots against the West including the July 7, 2005, London bombings -by al Qaeda, CNN reports.
Investigators believe that Rahami's use of the chemical indicates overseas training as there have been very few 'lone wolf' attacks have successfully used the tricky substance.
The FBI is now looking into Rahami's multiple, and lengthy stays in Afghanistan and Pakistan between 2011 and 2014 to see whether there is evidence of terror training.
Rahami's first documented trip to Pakistan was in 2005, when he visited Karachi, another terrorist hotbed, aged, The New York Times reported.
In 2011, Rahami made another lengthy trip, visiting Kandahar, Afghanistan, and Quetta, Pakistan. He visited Quetta from April 2013 to March 2014.
Rahami was stopped on one trip for secondary screening, but he satisfied the questions and was cleared, a source told Fox News.
His activities while in Afghanistan and Pakistan are unknown,

the Jays in the first round in 2010, and Biagini broke into the big leagues in 2014 and 2016, respectively, and both excelled in the 2016 season. Sanchez posted an AL-leading 3.00 ERA, while Biagini broke out as a go-to long reliever. Both have struggled since, as Sanchez battled finger issues and Biagini went back and forth between the bullpen and the rotation in a failed attempt to stretch him into a starter.
Have your say
Biagini returned to his role as a full-time reliever this season, his 3.86 ERA in 49 innings by far his best numbers in the past three seasons. Sanchez, who has had an up and down year, drew more interest in recent days after he seemed to find his form, notching 10 strikeouts in hisnot patented, characterized by its medium purple-colored flowers, medium green-colored foliage, and upright-mounded growth habit. The new cultivar was discovered and selected as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the above stated cross-pollination during February 2006 in a controlled environment at Santa Paula, Calif.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal stem cuttings since February 2006 at Santa Paula, Calif.; Arroyo Grande, Calif.; and West Chicago, Ill. has demonstrated that the new cultivar reproduces true to type with all of the characteristics, as herein described, firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of such asexual propagation.

The role of father involvement in children's later mental health.
Data on 8441 cohort members of the National Child Development Study were used to explore links between father involvement at age 7 and emotional and behavioural problems at age 16, and between father involvement at age 16 and psychological distress at age 33, controlling for mother involvement and known confounds. Father involvement at age 7 protected against psychological maladjustment in adolescents from non-intact families, and father involvement at age 16 protected against adult psychological distress in women. There was no evidence suggesting that the impact of father involvement in adolescence on children's later mental health in adult life varies with the level of mother involvement.There is a shortage of donor organs in the UK Most people have a strong aversion to the idea of receiving a donor organ from a killer, a study suggests. Those questioned said they would be far happier receiving a transplant from someone with a good moral background, the Cheltenham Science Festival heard. It follows on from research which found one in three organ transplant patients believe they have taken on some aspects of the donor's personality. Around 16m people are on the UK organ donor register. Professor Bruce Hood, a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of Bristol, tested the effects of information about the morals of a potential donor in 20 students who were asked to imagine they needed a life-saving heart transplant.

enforcement component. If there is no serious international commitment to put an end to the tragedy in Liberia, Charles Taylor will continue to cause chaos in the West African sub-region.
By convening the Ghana peace conference on Liberia, we hope West African leaders as well as the world community at large have finally realized that Charles Taylor is a menacing cancer that started in Liberia; but had since advanced across the neighborhood wreaking inestimable havoc in its path. And we further hope that by this recognition, the international community would be prepared to remove this devouring disease that has been eating at the region's stability.
The Perspective urges African governments to demonstrate bold leadership by taking action against those rulers on the continent who consistently retard African progress. African leadersthe playing field is leveled for all candidates.
Of course, the key for success to all this international effort is President Charles Taylor, the man who is not at these negotiations in Ghana. He is the only character who can set Liberia free. He had said he wants his people to live in peace and dignity, and we would like to hold him to those words.
But Mr. Taylor has serious credibility problem. He is not a man of his words. In the past, he made pledges in a dramatic public manner only to repudiate them. Throughout his grip on Liberia, the only thing has mattered to Charles Taylor is his personal and material welfare.
One prime element - though by no means the deciding factor - which gave impetus to

after the storm caused an argon gas leak, said Adams County Emergency Manager Don Willett. No one was injured.
Emergency officials received multiple reports of semi trucks being blown over in many regions of Iowa. A high wind warning for much of the state remains in effect through today.
By the time severe weather pushed out of the state, at about 7 p.m., meteorologists had issued 20 tornado warnings, and trained spotters confirmed several funnel clouds. Survey teams will confirm whether damage was caused by tornadoes or by strong straight-line winds.
Winterset High School and the county historical museum were reportedly damaged by a possible twister in Madison County. In Des Moines, windows were blown out of homes and a glass factory, the National Weather Service said. Southeast of Des Moinesin Knoxville, emergency crews were called to Walmart at about 4 p.m. because of severe storm damage. A 911 dispatcher said that the store was evacuated, but that no one was injured.
Tornadoes are rare in November, according to a weather service report.
The last time multiple tornadoes were reported in November in Iowa was Nov. 12, 2005, when a string of storms rampaged through central Iowa.
Woodward and Stratford were hit hardest; a woman died in Stratford, the only person ever killed by an Iowa tornado in November. A tornado warning in Ames prompted the evacuation of Jack Trice Stadium hours before an Iowa State University football game.
A total of 12 tornadoes were confirmed that night. Before 2005, the last report of a November tornado in Iowa was one tornado

Corporate price-fixing is normally extremely difficult to prove, but in this case, FBI agents were able to present prosecutors with hundreds of hours of price-fixing meetings secretly taped by an ADM executive named Mark Whitacre. In his absorbing and thorough 2000 book The Informant, the New York Times journalist Kurt Eichenwald tells the complex, bizarre, and utterly fascinating story of how Whitacre worked with the FBI for years, while also lying outrageously in order to cover up his own embezzlement of several million dollars. Part thriller, part character portrait, The Informant makes for thoroughly absorbing reading, and Eichenwald does a masterful job of drawing on interviews, tape transcripts, and other sources in order to place readers right in the thick of the

broke clear this time with Tracey Amos and Gemma adding a second place to their 3rd in the first race.
Sunday reproduced Saturday's wind and weather and an early start to accommodate the RS Aero fleet. Race three saw Hannah and Nick Smith make the perfect pin end start and a nice lift up the middle put them clear. Neal and Keith broke clear of the chasing pack and Brian Jones now with Hannah Mumford as crew came third.
The black flag was brought out for race four as the competition was hotting up. Neal led the restart closely followed by Hannah smith. Hannah slipped in front downwind but then went into a hole at the windward mark allowing Neal, followed by Brian Jones into 1st and 2nd.
For race five,Brian Jones could end up with equal points with Neal by winning the last race, so it was all to play for. However, it wasn't to be as Yvonne and Brian Mumford got the best start this time and stayed clear to the end.
The warmth of Barbados was exchanged for the hot competition of the Miracles at Broadwater and consistent results made Neil and Keith Southern Area Champions. The next Miracle event is at Delph on the 14/15th May for the Northern Area Championship.

This strip is then sealed to the opposite side of the bag and extends into the bag at the closed mouth. The strip can be opened by the user in order to obtain access to the substance.
It turns out to be difficult

CHAPTER ONE
Rosa Parks
By DOUGLAS BRINKLEY
Putnam
Read the Review
Up from Pine Level
Nobody knows exactly where in Tuskegee, Alabama, Rosa McCauley was born on February 4, 1913. The town newspaper reported that the skies were clear and it was unseasonably warm that day, but beyond that, and the fact that she was named after her maternal grandmother, Rose, virtually no reliable documentation exists on the early years of Rosa Louise Parks. It wouldn't matter so much were not some entrepreneurial Tuskegeeans anxious to attract tourists by opening a multicultural human and civil rights center boasting her name, and others, less commerce-minded, eager to post a bronze plaque somewhere in town marking her inclusion in Tuskegee's extraordinary roster of African-American heroes, from Booker T. Washington to George Washington Carver to Ralph Ellison.
Aphotograph does exist of Rosa Parks's Tuskegee birthplace, but it raises more questions than it answers. The faded photo shows a plywood shanty fronted by six wobbly steps leading up to a porch seemingly on the verge of collapse. A portion of the front picture window has been shattered as though from a rock thrown into the living room, and the picket fence that marks the property is severely splintered. But for a sturdy brick chimney, the edifice would appear no better than the sharecroppers' shacks photographed so hauntingly by Walker Evans in Let Us Now Praise Famous Men. But it's another disparity that dominates the picture: Carved into the roof's rough wood is a large star in the style of the distelfinks Amish farmers hang on their

at Italdesign in 1972 came during a period of upheaval in the Porsche-Piech auto dynasty.
After graduating as a mechanical engineer from the ETH technical college in Zurich, Switzerland, in 1962, Piech, who is a grandson of automotive pioneer Ferdinand Porsche, worked at Porsche in Stuttgart from 1963 to 1971. During that time he helped to develop the Porsche 906 and the successor models that led to the legendary Porsche 917.
Piech had to leave Porsche when his mother, Louise Piech, who was Ferdinand Porsche's daughter, and her brother, Ferry Porsche, decided that family members could no longer work for the company to put a stop to family in-fighting that plagued the company's management at the time.
Piech opened a small engineering company where he developed a five-cylinder inline diesel enginefor Mercedes-Benz.
Instead of taking a summer vacation in 1972, Piech asked Gerhard Richard Gumpert, who led VW group distribution activities in Italy, to organize a work experience for him at Italdesign.
After his two-month stint at Italdesign, Piech joined Audi where he was responsible for the Audi 80 and Audi 100 concepts. The production Audi 80 was designed by Giugiaro.
Piech went on to become an auto industry giant, like Giugiaro who was named car designer of the 20th century by an international jury in 1999. The same jury named Piech car executive of the century.
Now that VW is buying control of Italdesign, it will be Giugiaro's turn to stand at attention in front of his new boss, Ferdinand Piech.

Robbers punch man in face and steal his phone during mugging in Northampton
Callum Jones
A man was punched in the face during a robbery in Northampton in the early hours of the morning.
The 20-year-old was walking along Lorne Road, towards Bailiff Street, on Saturday, December 6, when he was approached by two men walking in the opposite direction at some point between 1am and 1.20am.
The men approached the victim and demanded he hand over his mobile phone, which he refused to do. One of the offenders then assaulted the victim, punching him to the face, before grabbing his phone and both offenders making off.
The first offender was about 20-years-old, of mixed race and about 6ft, of stocky build with short black afro hair and was wearing a red tee-shirtand jeans.
The second offender was white, also about 20-years-old and 6ft, of thin build and with short, fair hair. He was wearing a blue tee-shirt and jeans. He was also wearing a wrist cast on one of his wrists.
Police would like to speak to anyone who may have witnessed this incident or who may have any information regarding it.
Witnesses or anyone with information about this incident are asked to contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

already we took a Batou Mouche barge ride the short distance the River to the Ile de Cîte and as the vessel made its way through the centre of the city we soaked up the historic sites along both banks from the viewing platform at the back which was crowded now because the mist had finally gone and there was full sunshine and a blue sky.
Although we had already climbed to the top of the Arc de Triomphe and half way up the Eiffel Tower we bought tickets and waited in line to climb to the top of the Cathedral but sadly by the time we reached the top and walked around the external galleries the mist had returned and wrapped Paris in a gloomy grey shroud again.
Jonathanwas beginning to flag by now and as it was late afternoon we walked a little further around the streets of old Paris and then took a metro back to Montmartre where we walked along the boulevard with its seedy sex establishments and grubby shops and into the touristy cobbled back streets of the district famous for painters, night-life and a red-light district.
The plan was to find somewhere to eat but he was so tired that he preferred my suggestion of returning to the hotel and I would fetch a McDonalds meal from around the corner and we would just stay in and crash! So we did just that.

vane is usually made of two 180.degree. segments, one placed above and the other placed below the horizontal plane of the turbine shaft longitudinal axis. The inner surface of the outer guide vane and the outer surface of the turbine bearing cone form an exhaust flow passage in which the steam passing from the last turbine blades is, preferably, decelerated or, in other words, diffused. The diffusion causes a decrease in kinetic energy of the steam and a corresponding increase in pressure from the last turbine blades to the exhaust flow passage exit. This exhaust flow passage exit pressure is influenced by the pressure in the condenser located after the exhaust hood. Since with diffusion there is an increase, in the flow direction, of steam pressure in theexhaust flow passage, there is a corresponding decrease in pressure of the steam at the exit of the last row of turbine blades below the exhaust hood pressure and a corresponding increase in turbine work output as compared to the work output which would occur in the absence of diffusion.
The average exhaust hood pressure at the exhaust flow passage exit is close to the pressure in the condenser following the exhaust hood. However, the average exhaust hood pressure is somewhat higher because of the pressure losses that occur due to struts and beams located, for reinforcing purposes, throughout the exhaust hood, some being near the condenser flange and in the condenser neck. For a given condenser pressure, which depends on the temperature of the condenser cooling water, the

Illinois drove 80 yards in the last five minutes of the game to close the margin to a touchdown, but Ohio State recovered the onside kick and managed to hold the ball until only 4 seconds were left in the game. Their punt pinned Illinois at the Illini three and the game ended on the next play.
Ohio State began strong, driving the ball 80 yards on its opening series for a Chris Wells touchdown. After Curtis Terry recovered an Illinois fumble, Ohio State then drove 38 yards for itsClub, had previously served as a teacher after taking over the post of Sophia Ripley.
Around this time, Worcester was living in the Craigie House in Cambridge, Massachusetts, renting rooms from the widow of Andrew Craigie, first apothecary general of the United States. When Mrs. Craigie died, Worcester rented out the entire house from her heirs and subleased rooms to the poet and professor Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. In 1843, after the house was purchased by Nathan Appleton on Longfellow's behalf, Worcester rented a portion of the house from Longfellow until the construction of his own home a few doors down was completed that spring. The home is still standing at 121 Brattle Street in Cambridge.

box, but hidden, was an additional copy of the VM-19 key, which opened the floating fund bank. Police discovered the padlock to the key box underneath a bloodied Handiwipe rag that was sitting on a table near the body just below an open first aid kit that hung on the wall. The contents of the open first aid kit were disturbed, which suggested to police investigators that the assailant was injured during the attack and took some first aid supplies to treat his wounds. There were also a number of defensive wounds on the victim's hands and fingers, which indicated that there had been a struggle before the murder.
Police investigators found various bloody palm prints, a bloody shoe print, and a bloody fingerprint in the money room. Duncan'sfingerprints and palm prints, along with those of fifteen other individuals, were taken shortly after the crime. A fingerprint expert at the Los Angeles Police Department determined that Duncan's prints were not a match for the prints found at the crime scene. Police also took various blood samples from the crime scene and performed serological tests that showed that some of the blood did not belong to the victim.
A second robbery occurred at the restaurant three months later, in which $1770 was stolen from the supervisor's floating fund bank, which was opened with the duplicate VM-19 key. Three hundred dollars was also missing from Duncan's own cashier bank. Duncan was arrested for the second robbery. His prints were taken again and with that additional evidence, the bloody prints

in 1985 and 1986 of investigating and presenting mitigating evidence at the penalty phase of a capital case. He also presented additional testimony from lay witnesses about his background, exposure to traumatic events in his childhood, and positive characteristics. A psychologist prepared and submitted a social history of Duncan. He and other experts testified about the psychological effects on Duncan of his childhood traumas and drug use, his personality disorders, his genetic predisposition to substance abuse, and indications that he suffered organic brain damage. The State presented the testimony of its own experts who challenged some of the conclusions of Duncan's experts.
The district court held that Cheroske's failure to consult an expert on drug use was deficient, but that his deficient performance did not prejudice Duncan. It thenvictim was his also constituted deficient performance. Having Duncan's blood tested posed no risk to Duncan's defense, but the potential benefit was enormous. The blood evidence, detailed in the police report that Cheroske highlighted and underlined, was the only forensic evidence that had not yet been tied to Duncan. Thus, it presented Cheroske with his only opportunity to cast doubt on the State's theory that Duncan was the actual killer.
*1237 The district court held that Cheroske's failure to have Duncan's blood tested was not deficient because it was based on a reasonable tactical decision that is entitled to deference. The court found that Cheroske decided not to have Duncan's blood tested because Duncan admitted to him that he had been present in the murder room and Cheroske did

The circumstances under which the rag was found strongly suggest that the bloody rag was used after the murder by the assailant who was injured in the attack. First, the rag was found lying below an open first aid kit that hung on the wall. The kit was missing supplies, leading police *1244 to speculate that the injured attacker used the rag to absorb some of his blood and then used the supplies to treat his wounds. Second, the rag was found lying on top of the padlock to the key box. As the State explained in closing argument, the assailant would have had to unlock and remove the padlock from the key box in order to obtain the key that opened the floating fund bank. Because thekey box was always kept closed and locked, the padlock must have been removed by the perpetrators of the robbery. Moreover, because the rag was found on top of the padlock, it is extremely unlikely that the blood on the rag belonged to a restaurant employee who was injured during the day and left the bloody rag in the money room, as suggested by the State. Under that scenario the attacker would have had to slip the padlock underneath the bloody rag. The far more likely scenario is the one proposed by the detectivesthat DeBaun's attacker was wounded in the struggle, used the rag and the first aid supplies from the kit to treat his wounds, and left the rag lying on top of the padlock that he

dead at the Joker's hands. The story follows Jack Napier, a reformed Joker, who has been cured of his insanity and now views Batman as the greatest villain of Gotham City and the source of the city's endless crime cycle. Additionally, the series reworks Harley Quinn as two individuals: her initial jester design is the original Harleen Quinzel, whereas her Suicide Squad design is an equally obsessed doppelgänger named Marian Drews who took her place in her absence.
Synopsis
After a long and dangerous pursuit, Batman corners the Joker in a pharmaceutical warehouse, beating him excessively as Nightwing, Batgirl, and the GCPD look on in horror. The Joker boasts that medication would let him do more good than Batman, prompting Batman to force a bottle of pills down the Joker'sRemembering the fallen: Paul Jenkins helps to tell the story of Ballarat soldier Joseph Mannion who fought at Beersheba in 1917, whose grave was unmarked for more than 50 years.

The president is obliging, but in a bit-by-bit way that doesn't satisfy groups frustrated by Republicans' slow-walking of immigration legislation in the House.
Obama last year acted on his own to halt deportations for some young immigrants living in the country illegally who arrived as children. So far more than 550,000 young immigrants have been allowed to stay under the program, which also lets the immigrants get work permits good for two years.
Republicans pushed a bill through the House earlier this year to resume those deportations, but the Senate never acted on it and Obama's directive is still in place. Still, the vote

He repaired equipment and controlled supplies. He also worked as supply coordinator, purchasing items for the store, getting prices from vendors and passing them on to his supervisors who thereafter prepared purchase requests, etc. In particular, defendant was the supply representative for the Fitzsimmons Commissary.

In 1984, the government purchased equipment for a closed circuit television security system for each United States Army Commissary within the Army's Midwest Region, including the Commissary at Fitzsimmons Army Medical Center. In order to obtain funds for installation of the equipment, cost estimates were solicited from the commercial sector. Under established government procedures, funding authorization would then be obtained, work and purchase requests would be prepared, and then formal bids would be solicited from those companies which hadfurnished cost estimates.
14
In late 1984 and early 1985, defendant Gomez, as the assistant to the Fitzsimmons Deputy Commissary Officer, began contacting potential bidders for installation of the equipment at the request of his superior, Forest D. McDowell, the Army Security Safety Specialist for the Midwest Commissary Region. One of the first bidders contacted was the firm, Peke Systems, which gave an estimate of approximately $32,000 for the work. McDowell advised defendant Gomez that this was too high a price, since estimates for similar work at other commissaries throughout the Midwest Region had been between $8,000 and $10,000. McDowell advised Gomez of some inaccuracies in the description of the required work and new estimates were requested.

could guarantee that Photo-Scan would get the contract if there was something in it for him. Gomez also told Jones that there were other jobs at other commissaries, and that Photo-Scan would be in line for these, once the Fitzsimmons job was set.
18
Jones testified that he told the defendant that it was common commercial practice for a 10% finders fee to be paid, but Gomez told him that the government disapproved of that sort of thing. In describing how he wanted to receive the money, Jones testified that Gomez tapped under the table and told Jones that he had a friend who would cash a check for him, and that he would give Jones the name and address of the lady at a later time.
19
Jones testifiedJones and Gomez could be taped and recorded.
21
On February 8, 1985 Jones and Gomez met in the parking lot of the Village Inn where Jones showed Gomez the Photo-Scan estimate of $7,946.00 for the installation. Gomez told Jones that the proposal was fine, that there would be no trouble because they would not meet again, and Gomez told Jones that if anyone ever asked him how Photo-Scan obtained the contract, the story should be that a woman had called in the information and asked for a finder's fee. Jones offered to pay Gomez at this meeting, but Gomez said he wanted to wait until everything was finished and that he would give Jones the woman's name to be put on the check. On this occasion,

effectiveness as a soldier. In Michigan in 1974, he robbed two banks and three convenience stores, all within a month. At that time, he had just been divorced, lost custody of his son, and was deeply depressed. Two years before that he had tried to commit suicide by hanging himself in his parents' basement. At that time he believed he was attempting to kill a Colonel Heydon, a person he had had difficulty with during his military service. At the time of his arrest for the robberies, he was hospitalized and received intensive psychiatric treatment at a Veterans Hospital in Battle Creek, Michigan, for approximately thirty days. He was then tried for armed robbery of one of the banks, and was foundnot guilty by reason of insanity. He was directed to report to a Forensic Psychiatric Center in Ypsilanti, Michigan, where he was evaluated and released within one day. He continued to receive out-patient treatment for six or seven months, four times a month, at another Veteran's Hospital in Dearborn, Michigan.

Jones testified that he had had no mental problem or depression since 1975. He remarried, had two children, moved to Colorado, and began his own business as a manufacturer's representative. Photo-Scan was one of his customers, the Marcuses had known him for about ten years, and they had asked him to come and work for them as sales manager where he had been employed for over two years.

After winning the 2020 World Junior Championships out on loan with Team Canada, forward Barrett Hayton has been recalled by the Arizona Coyotes.
In seven games for Team Canada, Hayton recorded six goals and six assists for a total of 12 points. Hayton captained the team and had the game-tying goal in the third period of the championship game against Russia. He was named the player of the game in the final.
Hayton, 19, was the fifth overall draft pick by the Coyotes in the 2018 NHL Draft. He made his NHL debut in October against the Vegas Golden Knights and he was the seventh-youngest player in Coyotes history to do so.
In 14 games this season, Hayton has a goal and three assists.
The Coyotes have won four games in aReconstruction of elbow flexion by transposition of pedicled long head of triceps brachii muscle.
A new technique of restored flexion in the elbow joint in an inveterate injury of the brachial plexus is described. The insertion of the long head of the triceps brachii muscle was transferred with an intact nervous and vascular supply to the anterior brachial region and sutured above the radial tuberosity with the insertion tendon of the biceps brachii muscle. The muscle strength three months after surgery according to the muscle test was 4-. Flexion in the elbow joint was possible up to 85 degrees. Extension in the elbow joint was preserved, the muscle strength was 3. Anatomical investigation revealed that the mean length of the nerve of the long head of the triceps was

and collided with the pilot house. Those wires extended from a cross-arm attached to two upright parallel poles located on the Selma side of the river and extended to a cross-arm attached to similar parallel poles located on the opposite side of the river. The wires collided with were those attached to the lowest of several cross-arms supporting wires extending across the river. The steamer arrived at Selma during the preceding evening or night, but, because of the darkness and high water, the captain concluded to tie up the vessel below the bridge and wait for daylight before attempting to go through to the landing customarily used by steamboats, which was above the bridge. At that time the river was at flood stage. On the day of thecollision the height of the water, as shown by government records, was 49.8 feet. This was unusually high, but not as high as it had been eight times between 1902 and the date of the collision. On March 3, 1929, when the height of the water was 45.5 feet, the steamer went from below the bridge to the landing above it through the opening between the pier nearest the Selma side of the river and the next pier farther out in the river, the other opening *1017 made by turning the draw being between the bank of the river on the Selma side and the first mentioned pier. Before doing so George Wolfe, who then was the captain of the steamer, notified the appellant that the steamer desired

were at least 2 feet lower than those which were the lowest in March. This being so, the collision cannot fairly be attributed to the failure of those in charge of the vessel to be deterred from attempting to run the vessel under the wires by the fact that the river then was 4.3 feet higher than it was when the vessel went under the wires during the March freshet. Those in charge of the vessel at and immediately prior to the time of the collision, having no knowledge or notice of any change in the condition of the wires, of any lowering of them, after information in regard to them was sought and given in March, are not reasonably chargeable with negligence in concluding that the clearancevessel, who, in the absence of such notice or warning, were justified in acting in reliance on information previously given by the appellant as to the height of the wires above and the amount of clearance between them and the top of the vessel's smokestack; and that the injury complained of was proximately caused by that negligence.
For the appellant it was contended that those in charge of the operation of the vessel were negligent in failing to seek further information as to the height of the wires above the water before attempting the passage of the vessel under them, and in failing by observation to discover the insufficiency of the clearance before it was too late to avoid the collision, and that such negligence was a proximate cause

In time, she would end this heresy…
It was this last ruler of Belka who earned the Sankt Kaiser Vivio title that was recognized by all. She abandoned the Second Founding of Belka, launched her own campaigns against the adepts of Chaos embedded in her kingdom, and finally left on the suicide mission that resulted in the loss of the Cradle and her life. She mingled amongst the people even more, and had too found love, but she cast itaside to free Ordered Space from her cruelty, something that everyone else interpreted as her dying for the sins of Man.
Her one regret was that she was remembered a hero, when she was nothing more than a machine of evil. As she lingered on within the confines of the Tome of Dawn, she burned with the desire to go down fighting once and for all. Kha brought her to see herself as who she really was, and since then she seeks a new direction in life as custodian of the world she had fought for to be born.

being necessary to permit the operator to watch the zone refining operation especially during the initial stage when the seed crystal is fused to the molten end of the semiconductor source rod. In a typical apparatus, a semiconductor source rod on the order of 110 centimeters in length can be refined. Such a source rod is attached to the rod holder at its upper end, and a small diameter seed crystal of about 4 to 6 millimeters is attached to the seed holder. A heavy RF induction heating coil of suitable design is positioned near the middle of the induction heating chamber. The chamber is then either evacuated or filled with inert gas, such as argon. The source rod holder and source rod are moved down from thetop of the chamber with the free end of the rod approaching the RF induction heating coil. The RF coil inductively heats and melts the bottom or free end of the semiconductor source rod until a molten droplet is formed. At that point, the seed rod moves up to the molten end of the source rod within the heating zone of the RF coil. The seed crystal fuses and is pulled away to create a neck and then a taper at the molten end of the semiconductor source rod. Thereafter, the zone of the melt is moved up the semiconductor source rod by moving both the rod and the seed crystal downward. Relative movement between the seed rod holder and source rod holder controls the diameter of the

Building learning communities: evolution of the colleges at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine.
Learning communities, which are an emerging trend in medical education, create a foundation for professional and academic development through the establishment of longitudinal relationships between students and faculty. In this article, the authors describe the robust learning community system at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, which encompasses wellness, career planning, professional development, and academics.The Vanderbilt Advisory Colleges Program introduced in 2006 initially focused on two goals: promoting wellness and providing career advising. In the 2011-2012 academic year, the focus of the colleges expanded to incorporate an enhanced level of personal career advising and an academic component. In the four-year College Colloquium course, faculty selected as college mentors teach the medical humanities and lead sessions dedicated toApple's Steve Jobs To Be Featured On U.S. Postage Stamp

Apple founder Steve Jobs, a man who probably did as much as anyone to set in motion the slow but steady demise of snail mail, will be featured on a U.S. postage stamp, according to a document from the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee.
The Jobs collectible stamp is slated for release in 2015 and is currently in design development, The Washington Post reports, citing the CSAC document.

The fine-tuning assembly 13 has a first sloped surface 131 extending into a trough 121 of the sliding block 12 to be in contact with a second sloped surface 1211 formed on the trough 121. When the fine-tuning assembly 13 is turned, it is moved outwards from the straddle dock 11 along the screw thread. The fine-tuning assembly 13 presses the sliding block 12, with the first sloped surface 131 ramming the second sloped surface 1211 so that the sliding block 12 is pushed downwards along the first sliding surface 131. By contrast, when the fine-tuning assembly 13 is turned in the reverse direction, it ismoved into the straddle dock 11 along the screw thread, and the spring 15 located between the retaining member 14 at the lower edge of the straddle dock 11 and the sliding block 12 will push the sliding block 12 upwards along the first sloped surface 131.
The spring 15, located between the retaining member 14 at the lower edge of the straddle dock 11 and the sliding block 12 is in a compressed state. After repeated use elastic fatigue or fatigue failure occurs, i.e. the elasticity weakens or disappears altogether. As a result, the sliding block 12 cannot return to its original position. Therefore, the circular knitting machine cannot operate properly and fails to knit correctly. Moreover, the service life of the spring 15 is limited and often

in qualification either. Marc Wilson's injury and Duffy's form mean the Blackburn Rovers defender is almost certain to be part of the squad over Paul McShane, and the 24-year-old's performance was generally solid and encouraging, but it can't be denied that he tends to have a big error in him every few games.
That's arguably a feature of all O'Neill's defenders, though, including first-choice Richard Keogh. The key will be deepening the cohesion before then so it isn't so much of an issue, as did happen in qualifying.
Harry Arter's play will help with that, and the Bournemouth midfielder's performance was one of the positives of the Dutch game. The 26-year-old offers an alternative to Wes Hoolahan when the team needs a bit more craft in midfield, so he shouldgo ahead of one of the array of interchangeable defensive midfielders like David Meyler and Stephen Quinn.
The draw - and Irish goal - did re-emphasise the importance of Shane Long, not least when his first-half fall caused eyes to widen all over the pitch. That status is fitting given he is the Irish player who finished highest in the Premier League this season, at sixth with Southampton, and it is a reminder of the general level of the team.
It also makes it all the more remarkable that Long was regularly left out at the beginning of this campaign. That has changed - although he has also changed as a player. O'Neill spoke after the game about how Long has added much more to his game than energy, and

to control a rotation of the rotor portion. The conductive pin is affixed to the insulator. The magnet wire which forms the coil is wound around the teeth, wound around the conductive pin without slack, and then is soldered to a circuit board. Since the conductive pin is soldered to the circuit board, the magnet wire and the circuit board are electrically connected to one another. A drive current is supplied from an external source to a control circuit, an electric current is conducted through the magnet wire wound around the teeth, and then, a magnetic field is generated at a radial gap between the teeth and the rotor magnet. As the magnetic field is generated, the teeth and the rotor magnet attract one another, and repel oneanother. Due to such interaction between the teeth and the rotor magnet as described above, a rotary torque centering about the central axis is generated in the rotor portion.
Due to the great deal of increase in the temperature within the electric component, there is a further demand for cooling within the electric component. Therefore, there is an increased demand for a cooling fan having a cooling characteristic superior to that of the conventional cooling fan. In general, in order to improve the cooling characteristic of the cooling fan, a flow quantity of the cooling fan needs to be improved so as to increase a volume of heated air exhausted from the housing of the electric component. In order to improve the flow quantity, an air flow which is

Christian teacher 'forced out' after complaining Muslim pupils praised 9/11 hijackers 'as heroes'
Racism claim: Nicholas Kafouris arriving at the tribunal hearing
A Christian teacher yesterday claimed he was forced out of his job after complaining that Muslim pupils as young as eight hailed the September 11 hijackers as heroes.
Nicholas Kafouris, 52, is suing his former school for racial discrimination.
He told a tribunal that he had to leave his £30,000-a-year post because he would not tolerate the 'racist' and 'anti-Semitic' behaviour of Year 4 pupils.
The predominantly Muslim youngsters openly praised Islamic extremists in class and described the September 11 terrorists as 'heroes and martyrs'.
One pupil said: 'Don't touch me, you're a Christian' when he brushed against him.
Others said: 'We want to be Islamic bombers when we grow up', and 'TheChristians and Jews are our enemies - you too because you're a Christian'.
Mr Kafouris, a Greek Cypriot, taught for 12 years at Bigland Green Primary School in Tower Hamlets, East London.
According to Ofsted 'almost all' its 465 pupils are from ethnic minorities and a vast proportion do not speak English as a first language.
The teacher claims racial discrimination by the school, its headmistress and her assistant head after they failed to take action about the comments made by pupils to him.
He said there was a change in attitude of the pupils after the atrocities of September 11, 2001. They told him: 'We hate the Christians' and 'We hate the Jews', despite his attempts to stop them.
He said he filled out a Racist Incident Reporting Sheet but claimed headmistress

the bowler, made a brilliant stop. The partnership produced 201, and Lawry included, five 4's besides the three 6's, in his 106.
Dexter, for the first time, crowded the batsmen when Redpath arrived, but Simpson, after five and a half hours at the crease with only six 4's among his neat but far from strong strokes, completed his century out of 232.
Cartwright gained reward for his steadiness when beating Redpath off the pitch for leg-before at 233. At the close Australia were 253 for two with Simpson 109, and O'Neill 10.
On the second day, Simpson and his colleagues maintained their dominance yet seldom became free-scoring. Simpson again batted in subdued, if almost faultless, fashion and was barracked before displaying some of his characteristic cuts and drives. O'Neill had givenpromise of brightening proceedings before a ball which swung across knocked back his leg-stump at 318.
Burge did not settle down before Price smartly caught him at backward square-leg at 382. From that point, at ten minutes to three, the England bowlers strove without compensation.
In company with Booth, Simpson, who had reached 160 at rather less than 20 an hour since he began, at last decided to open his shoulders. He took 11 in an over off Price with the new ball, but soon reverted to his sedate mood. When 203, Simpson could have been run out backing-up if Titmus about to bowl, had not been chivalrously inclined, and the Middlesex bowler inappropriately suffered when the Australian captain, bestirring himself again, hit 14 off him in one over.

end of another hot day, Simpson had been in twelve hours for 265 out of a score of 570 for four, and Booth, who had scored with firm strokes, was 82 in an unfinished partnership of 188. Cartwright, England's best bowler, had sent down 77 overs for 118 runs and two wickets.
Simpson continued Australia's and his own innings next morning and in the light of subsequent events his policy, however unpalatable it was to cricket lovers, proved correct. Had he declared the previous evening and managed to snatch a couple of wickets a way to victory might have been open to him, but that again is mere surmise.
In the event, Simpson made sure that Australia would not lose by extending his team's innings for another hour and raisingthe total 656 for eight before declaring. In that time, the batting, for the first time in the match, was consistently entertaining, bringing 86 runs for four wickets.
Simpson had a chance of passing the world record Test score of 365 not out by G.S. Sobers, but this did not affect his attitude. He made no attempt to play safe for the purpose and after straight-driving Mortimore for 6 and hitting four more 4's he fell at the wicket paying the penalty for a slashed stroke played off Price with rather reckless abandon.
The crowd, having overlooked the dull spells of his batting, generously gave him an ovation for his score of 311 out of 646 for six. He defied England for three minutes under twelve and three-quarter hours, and

in addition to his 6 he hit twenty-three 4's.
His stand with Booth, fifth to leave, well caught off a stiff return at 601, added 219 in just over three and a half hours. Booth, who missed a hundred by two, hit one 6 and ten 4's.
The innings lasted thirteen hours. Price took three for 183. He, like his team-mates, had his edge blunted by the unresponsive pitch. Barrington, with his leg-breaks, was never tried, a tactical shortcoming by Dexter.
When England began batting at twenty to one on Saturday, there seemed little hope of them making 457 to avoid following-on, and what optimism did exist soon received a check when Edrich edged the now fully-recovered fast-medium McKenzie to second slip with the score 15.
Then came a renewal of hope174 and Barrington reached 153 not out. Dexter, who hit his eighth Test hundred, was missed twice by McKenzie at backward short leg when 74 and 97, and narrowly escaped being given out at 108 when Burge said he did not really know whether he had made a catch low down at cover, but the later part of Dexter's innings provided much pleasure for the onlookers.
From lunch, taken at 247 for two, the batsmen were masters. In turn they forced the game with drives, square-cuts, late-cuts and full-blooded leg-side strokes which punished quick and slow bowlers alike. Poor fielding swelled the scoring and Barrington was fortunate, when 99, that McKenzie, at short-slip failed to hold a cut.
Barrington had played 44 Test innings in England without making more than

87. In one spell of ten overs, Simpson conceded 38 runs and the partnership passed 200 in ten minutes over four hours. Dexter, with a majestic cover-drive off Veivers, exceeded K.S. Ranjitsinhji's 154 not out for England at Old Trafford in 1896, and at tea, with 111 runs having come since lunch, England wanted 99 more to save the follow-on.
Afterwards, England's rising hopes received an unexpected setback in the dismissal of Dexter, third out, at 372. Hawke and Veivers, doing sufficient to keep the batsmen watchful, made runs scarce enough to set impatient onlookers slow handclapping, and whether or not Dexter had his concentration disturbed he eventually played across, in somewhat casual style, at a ball pitched well up to him and was bowled.
He, too, was given anovation for his fine innings, including twenty-two 4s, for which he had kept the Australians at bay for eight hours. The stand of 246 in five hours and twenty-five minutes fell 16 short of the record England third-wicket partnership against Australia of 262 by W.R. Hammond and D.R. Jardine at Adelaide, in 1928-29.
Barrington suffered a painful blow on his left shoulder from a bouncer by Corling, but recovered after treatment on the field and he remained unbeaten, with fifteen 4's to his credit, at the close when England, 411 for three, needed 46 more to make Australia go in again.
The fifth and last day proved the most disappointing for England supporters, for lack of enterprise by the batsmen when conditions were all in their favour threw away a

golden chance of passing the massive Australian total.
Dexter's example counted for nothing. Barrington pushed and deflected when he could have driven powerfully and the opportunity to encourage his partners and thoroughly discourage his rivals was lost. Parks hit only three 4's in his 60 which occupied three hours and twenty minutes, Titmus made nine runs in almost an hour and when Barrington was lbw, seventh to go, at 594 he had been at the crease for eleven hours and twenty-five minutes. He hit twenty-six 4's in his 256.
With McKenzie enlivened and Veivers still pitching a length, the issue was soon settled after Barrington's departure on the stroke of tea, and England, though having kept Australia in the field over two hours longer than the tourists had kept them,finished 45 behind.
McKenzie's late successes, achieved by change of pace and deceptive movement, gave him a fine analysis in such a huge total, but the endurance of Veivers, who sent down 46.1 overs unchanged on the last day, was just as remarkable.
The Australians had to bat a second time for the closing five minutes, and it was a suitable ending, seeing what indecisive cricket had gone before, that Simpson and Lawry were bowled to by Barrington and Titmus using an old ball. Simpson, who square-cut Barrington for the four runs obtained, was on the field for all but a quarter of an hour of the match which, over the five days, was watched by an estimated attendance of 108,000 who paid £36,340 3s. 6d.

Santa Barbara has gone a perfect 2-0 in overtime games this season, with both wins coming against GCC opponents. The Gauchos defeated Pacific 13-11 in a tightly contested battle on Sept. 15, as Ivan Gvozdanovic and Leo Yuno found paydirt during the extra periods. Just five days later, UCSB's Adam Lott would strike first in the opening period of overtime at Pepperdine, breaking a 13-13 tie that gave the Gauchos their first lead since the first quarter. They would go on to win 16-13 win, improving to a perfect 3-0 mark against GCC foes during non-conference play.Distinguished authorship characterizes Antitrust Analysis: Problems, Text, and Cases, first written by Phil Areeda, the leading antitrust commentator of the 20th century.

AstraZeneca's Seroquel XR patent deemed invalid by UK high court
AstraZeneca has suffered a major blow in its legal battle to protect its Seroquel XR brand after the UK's High Court deemed the patent on the antipsychotic drug to be invalid.
The legal standing of the drug, which is an extended release version of AstraZeneca's Seroquel, had been challenged by the generics companies Teva Pharmaceutical, Teva UK, Sandoz, Accord Healthcare, Intas Pharmaceuticals and Hexal AG.
The active ingredient of Seroquel, quetiapine, is due to face patent expiry at the end of the month and AstraZeneca had hoped to prolong the franchise's life with the introduction of its extended release version Seroquel XR.
Patent protection on this version of the drug was due to last until May 2017, but the latest court rulingEvolution : Climate
Evolution: Climate is a standalone game that introduces climate into the Evolution game system.
In Evolution: Climate, players adapt their species in a dynamic ecosystem where food is scarce, predators lurk, and the climate can swing between scorching hot and icy cold. Traits like a Hard Shell and Horns can protect your species from Carnivores while a Long Neck will help them get food that others cannot reach. Heavy Fur and Migratory can protect your species from the cold while being Nocturnal or Burrowing will provide protection from the cruel desert sun. With over 200,000 ways to evolve your species, every game evolves into a different adventure.

Velocity of linear crystallization of ice in macromolecular systems.
The velocity of ice crystallization in gelled systems was compared with that in solutions of similar macromolecular materials. Neither the constituting material nor the dimensions of the tubes in which the measurements were made influenced the results. The velocity of linear crystallization of ice was slowed in macromolecular solutions and gels, and this decrease was not associated with changes in dynamic or thermodynamic properties of water. It was probably the consequence of a mechanical effect of the macromolecules directly on ice crystal growth.Holiday Lights: McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park
It's the holiday season, which means lights are everywhere: On your neighbor's house, decorating the local bar, and on buildings of downtown Phoenix. During the buildup to Christmas, Jackalope Ranch will be running the numbers on some of the best and brightest light displays around the Valley.
Thousands upon thousands of colored bulbs aren't the only thing that glow brightly at the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park in North Scottsdale during the Christmas season. Hundreds of kids drag their parents to the North Scottsdale attraction each night, and their eyes tend to light up when they see all the bright displays and trains wrapped with plenty of illuminated strands.
Although the entire park is decked out with lights, the main attraction at McCormick-Stillman during the holidays is its

These lights wind their way beside and underneath the track and past displays of cartoon characters like Dora the Explorer, Bugs Bunny, the Cat in the Hat, and the residents of Sesame Street. There are also rainbow-colored tunnels of light along the way, which give off a trippy glow and resemble something out of Doctor Who.
Strands and lights: More than 100,000 lights are used throughout the park.

Our dates show that cattle and pigs were first domesticated in Europe. Sheep, which were thought to have become extinct in Europe during the terminal Pleistocene, also appear first in Europe. However, there remains little doubt that sheep were first domesticated in the Near East or Turkey, since no wild sheep appear to have existed in Europe at the beginning of the Holocene. Dogs were domesticated in both the Near East and Europe at virtually the same time. In the Near East, Asiab, at around 8000 B.C., qualifies as the first center of goat domestication. It is also the earliest center of domestication for all animals we have dated here.

Description
Six-time Hugo Award winner Ben Bova chronicles the saga of humankind's expansion beyond the solar system in Death Wave
In the precursor to the Star Quest Trilogy, New Earth, Jordan Kell led the first human mission beyond the solar system. They discovered the ruins of an ancient alien civilization. But one alien AI survived, and it revealed to Jordan Kell that an explosion in the black hole at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy has created a wave of deadly radiation, expanding out from the core toward Earth. Unless the human race acts to save itself, all life on Earth will be wiped out.
When Kell and his team return to Earth, many years after their departure, they find that their world has changed almost beyond recognition. Not

could have faced student judicial charges, but it wasn't a criminal matter.
When Jason got back to the dorm, his roommate had been moved to another room, and Jason was told that his gun had been confiscated. He called the Moscow police about 10 p.m. to get his gun back, and the officer asked him to come down to the station. He came down about 1 a.m., and the officer said he could have his gun, but not until Tuesday, after the MLK holiday, so he'd have a chance to lock it up at school.
At 8:46 a.m. local time Sunday morning, just as the Obama family was participating in a day of service by fixing up an elementary school in the nation's capital, Moscow police got another call fromthe University of Idaho, from the same dorm.
One of Jason's suitemates had found him, shot in the head, next to notes he'd written to his family.
Idaho has one of the highest rates of suicides in the country, mostly from guns. It also was the only state in the union without its own certified hotline with counselors trained in suicide prevention; a hotline opened in November, but it's open only Monday through Thursday, 9 to 5. Chief Duke says he gets a call about suicide on campus every couple of years or so.
It turned out that the Desert Eagle .45 was not Jason's only gun. Sometime in the night, he'd gone out to his pickup truck for his Smith and Wesson Model 66 .357-caliber revolver.

to a reduction in heating costs of 40 to 50 percent for those who convert from heating fuel to natural gas, with first gas possible by the end of 2015.
This is seen as a nearer-term fix, as the state continues pursuing a natural gas pipeline.
Budget
Senate Finance is scheduled to take up amendments to its version of the state operating budget. The committee last week unveiled a roughly $9.9 billion package, about $41 million more than what passed the House and about $63 million less than the governor proposed, according to the Legislative Finance Division.
Meanwhile, House Speaker Mike Chenault said he expects the Senate to send over a capital budget in early April. The House has taken the lead on the operating budget, the Senate, on the capital budget.
ParnellKyrgyzstan's Supreme Court today upheld the verdict of a lower court that found opposition leader Feliks Kulov guilty of abuse of office and sentenced him to 10 years in jail.
Kulov had appealed the lower court's verdict, claiming the charges against him were politically motivated. His lawyer, Lyubov Ivanova, said she will now appeal the verdict in Kyrgyzstan's Constitutional Court.
Kulov was found guilty in January 2001 and jailed for abuse of power while he served as governor of the Chu Oblast in the mid-1990s. Kulov says the charges were politically motivated, noting they were filed against him only after he left government service and became an opposition leader.
Another opposition leader, Topchubek Turgunaliev, said he will attempt to bring Kulov's case before an international court.

Learning curve of tonsillectomy.
To determine the time required to sufficiently educate a well-trained surgeon to perform tonsillectomy. From July 1, 2000 to June 30, 2008, we analyzed 110 patients who underwent bilateral tonsillectomy. All the procedures were performed by 16 ENT surgeons trained in the same tertiary referral medical center during their residency. This training included a 4-year training program before 2002, and a 5-year training program thereafter. We stratified the patients into groups according to each surgeon's residency year at the time the operations were performed. Operation time, estimated blood loss and length of hospital stay of these patients were compared by the surgeon's residency year and by different training program of residency. There was a trend of decreased operation time in the senior year of residency,especially for 5th year surgeons, without reaching statistical significance. When comparing different training program, the operation time was statistically shorter in the 5-year training program than in the 4-year training program. However, no difference was noted in estimated blood loss and hospital stay length. The operation time of residents in the 5-year training program was shorter than that of residents in the 4-year training program, which implies that extending the training program by one year may improve the quality of training.

The new law raised the state's minimum age to purchase a firearm to 21; required a three-day waiting period for firearm purchases; banned the sale or possession of bump stocks; and allowed law enforcement officers to ask the court to temporarily prohibit someone from possessing or buying firearms.
One of the more controversial parts of the newlaw is known as the Coach Aaron Feis Guardian Program, which allows some teachers to be armed if both the local school district and local sheriff's department agree.
How long it took: Scott approved the new legislation three weeks after the Parkland massacre.

As a result, the company was heavily leveraged and in the red by 1973. In 1971 Robert Van Tuyle was recruited as a director from his 40-year career in the chemical industry, and he immediately began to streamline Beverly, divesting the company of its unrelated interests and focusing on long-term health care.
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the nursing home industry was experiencing a glut. The onset of Medicare and Medicaid in the mid-1960s had sparked a rush of new entrepreneurs in what had previously been a largely unprofitable industry. The too-rapid expansion stalled at about the time Van Tuyle joined Beverly, but he believed that the nursing home industry still had growth potential. Growth became Beverly's trademark beginning in 1977 when it purchased Leisure Lodges fromits parent company, Stephens Inc., of Little Rock, Arkansas. Leisure Lodges was a chain of nursing homes. The purchase doubled Beverly's size, making it number two in the industry. David R. Banks, who had been chairman of the Leisure Lodges chain, joined Beverly as president and CEO in 1979.
Small chains and solo organizations were ripe for acquisition in the early 1980s because they were having trouble turning a profit on Medicaid reimbursements. Beverly's size and centralization, on the other hand, permitted economies of scale. Between 1976 and 1983, Beverly's revenues increased 12 times, primarily through acquisitions. The company grew from 47 homes in 1971 to 1,136 homes in 1985, when it had a presence in 45 states and Canada. By 1983 Beverly was the nation's largest operator of

force of nursing homes.
Problems began to surface by 1986, as allegations of neglect prompted investigations by various state health officials. Between 1985 and 1988, six Beverly facilities in Missouri were threatened with license revocation. In 1986, officials in Texas suspended Medicaid payments to 24 of Beverly's 134 nursing homes in that state, citing hazardous health deficiencies; the state revoked the license of one home. That same year, Beverly settled a legal battle with the state of California's department of health services by paying a record $724,000 in fines. The company was accused of care so negligent that it contributed to or caused the death of nine patients in that state. Beverly agreed to pay the fines without admitting to the specific charges and was put on probation for$5.7 million training center in Atlanta for nurses and administrators.
Beverly's $1.1 billion debt was beginning to pinch by 1988. The company considered filing for reorganization under bankruptcy court protection in that year. Instead, it began selling off properties. Beverly was fined another $124,000 after a reinspection of its Oak Meadows Nursing Center in Los Gatos, California, where negligence had contributed to four patient deaths in 1985. Officials found evidence of medical record falsification, medication errors, and neglect. The facility's license was revoked and Beverly sold the home in February 1988.
About the same time that Beverly was taken off probation in California late in 1988, Minnesota moved to revoke the license of all 42 of the company's nursing homes in that state. The National Labor Relations Board brought a

that time, the $40 billion nursing home industry, which served 1.5 million people in the United States, was in crisis. Although 63 percent of patient days were to be paid by Medicaid, money from Medicaid only accounted for 41 percent of payments. The squeeze between rising costs and inadequate government reimbursement meant many companies were losing money. The average daily payment by Medicaid for a nursing home patient had risen an average of 4 percent between 1985 and 1988, but labor costs had risen 11 percent. Two-thirds of Beverly's staff were aides whose wages were only 50 cents an hour more than workers at fast food restaurants. High turnover contributed to the quality-of-care problems that plagued the industry.
Late 1980s Reorganization
Beverly underwent extensive reorganization in 1989, including the eliminationpublic offering of $40 million of convertible debentures in mid-1990 and had plans to complete its debt refinancing by year's end.
Robert Van Tuyle stepped down as chairman of the board in May 1990, after 19 years of leadership. He was succeeded by David Banks. In summer 1990, the company moved its headquarters from Pasadena to Fort Smith, Arkansas. The move to new headquarters, in the back of a shopping center, was a cost-cutting measure, and it also put the company in closer proximity to its major shareholder, the Little Rock investment firm, Stephens Inc. Stephens owned 10 percent of Beverly's stock, and the firm had a keen interest in keeping Beverly financially sound. Stephens helped Beverly put through a sale of 41 of its Iowa nursing homes in

with its labor relations as well. In November 1990 a judge with the National Labor Relations Board cited Beverly in one case for illegally firing employees who were organizing a union, and more than a dozen similar complaints were being investigated.
Despite moves to contain costs and attract more profitable patients, Beverly did not perform as well in the 1990s as some of its competition. In response, the company began to move into higher-paying areas of patient care, such as rehabilitation therapy and subacute care. The company also made several acquisitions to bolster its pharmaceutical subsidiary, PCA. In 1994 Beverly paid about $112 million for Insta-Care Holdings Inc., the nation's fifth-largest institutional pharmacy business. In the same year, Beverly also acquired for PCA three drug distribution companies from Synetic,Inc. These acquisitions nearly doubled PCA's revenues, to more than $400 million.
Then in 1995 Beverly proposed to spin off PCA, selling 20 percent to the public and distributing the rest to shareholders. This move was seen by some analysts as an attempt to soothe investors, who felt they were not getting adequate returns from Beverly. The spin-off was announced in April, then abruptly canceled in June. Problems with pricing at PCA reportedly made the spin-off unadvisable, and management promised to pursue it in early 1996 instead. As that deadline approached, Beverly announced further cost-cutting measures and lower than expected earnings for the fourth quarter of 1995. The poor results were blamed on PCA's continuing trouble integrating its recent acquisitions. In January 1996 Robert Woltil, president of PCA, resigned.

Tom Skilling, chief meteorologist for WGN-TV and The Chicago Tribune, talks about the Windy City's changing weather, specifically the record-breaking lack of snow this year.
MICHEL MARTIN, HOST:
What comes to mind when I say the words Chicago winter? An icy wind, perhaps, maybe the frozen lake. How about snow piled high in the streets?
TOM SKILLING: You've got to take winter seriously in this part of the world. There are some pretty cold days in December, January and February.
MARTIN: Tom Skilling should know. He's the chief meteorologist for WGN-TV and The Chicago Tribune.
SKILLING: Well, it's going on 40 years now watching our ever-changing weather here.
MARTIN: In those 40 odd years, he's seen everything Chicago weather hashands.

Archaeologists are trying to link the find to historical events Fifty-one decapitated skeletons found in a burial pit in Dorset were those of Scandinavian Vikings, scientists say. Mystery has surrounded the identity of the group since they were discovered at Ridgeway Hill, near Weymouth, in June. Analysis of teeth from 10 of the men revealed they had grown up in countries with a colder climate than Britain's. Archaeologists from Oxford believe the men were probably executed by local Anglo Saxons in front of an audience sometime between AD 910 and AD 1030. The Anglo Saxons were increasingly falling victim to Viking raids and eventually the country was ruled by a Danish king. The mass grave is one of the largest examples of executed foreigners buried in one spot.Any mass grave is a relatively rare find, but to find one on this scale, from this period of history, is extremely unusual

Samples of 10 remains were identified as Scandinavian by Dr Jane Evans and Carolyn Chenery, of NERC Isotope Geosciences Laboratory, part of the British Geological Survey, based in Nottingham. Their work has revealed that the men had scattered Scandinavian origins, with one even thought to be from north of the Arctic Circle. Isotopes in the men's teeth also show they had eaten a high protein diet, comparable with known sites in Sweden. Initially, it was thought the burial site dated

This undated photo provided by Sanpete County Jail shows John Coltharp. Police say Utah men Coltharp and Samuel Shaffer are under arrest after a search near a remote, makeshift compound turned up two girls taken by their father, Coltharp, to join an upstart sect relatives say is based around polygamy and doomsday. Iron County Sheriff's Lt. Del Schlosser said Tuesday, Dec. 5, 2017, the girls aged 4 and 8 were found cold but uninjured after deputies combed the desert near the makeshift compound made of storage containers on Monday.
Two Utah men, one a self-styled prophet, were under arrest Tuesday after a search near aremote, makeshift compound turned up four girls whose fathers were in an upstart group with beliefs in polygamy and doomsday, police and relatives said.
Police said two of the girls were considered to be kidnapping victims after their father dropped off the grid with them and their two brothers in mid-September.
The four girls aged 4 through 8 were found cold and dehydrated but uninjured, two in 50-gallon water barrels and two others were in an abandoned mobile home, after deputies combed the desert on Monday, Iron County Sheriff's Lt. Del Schlosser said. The boys were found at the compound earlier Monday.
John Coltharp, 33, disappeared with his two daughters and two sons in mid-September after meeting Samuel Shaffer, 34, who also had two daughters, police said. They called themselves the

men had decamped 200 miles south to a remote area near Cedar City where they might meet other people with similar beliefs or convince others to join them as Coltharp's parents had, Lee said.
Micha Coltharp started the process of getting a divorce and sole custody of the children, but as weeks passed there remained few clues about exactly where the children were.
On Monday, police got a tip and raided the makeshift compound made out of storage containers. They found the two boys, ages 5 and 6, but Shaffer had already fled with the two Coltharp girls and his own daughters, according to jail arrest documents.
Shaffer was found that afternoon, walking down a road alone but the four girls remained missing.
He told police two girls had been placed inbread slicer comprising a knife frame, a damper and a variable rate control. The knife frame is movable between first and second positions. The damper is coupled to the knife frame and is configured to affect the rate of movement of the knife frame. The variable rate control assembly has an actuator coupled with the damper to selectively affect the rate of movement of the knife frame.
Another embodiment of the present invention provides a bread slicer comprising a knife frame and a variable rate control assembly. The variable rate control assembly is in operable communication with the knife frame and configured to selectively vary the rate of movement of the knife frame.

remained the senior ruler, possessing a veto over any edicts made by Maximian.
The year Ad 286 however, should not only be remembered for the promotion of Maximian. It also should become known for the rebellion of Carausius, who was the commander of the North Sea fleet, who made himself emperor of Britain.
Meanwhile Diocletian embarked on several years of hard campaigning. Mostly along the Danube frontier, where he defeated German and Sarmatians tribes. One expedition took him as far as Syria, where he campaigned against the Saracen invaders from the Sinai peninsula in AD 290.
Then in AD 293 Diocletian took another huge step into the unknown by founding the 'Tetrarchy', the rule of four. This entirely new idea of imperial government, meant that four emperors should rule the empire.Two Augusti would rule as major emperors, one in teh east, the other in the west. Each Augustus would adopt as his son a junior emperor, a Caesar, who would help rule his half of the empire with him and who be his appointed successor.
The two men who were appointed to these positions were Constantius and Galerius, both military men of Danubian origin.
Had the empire been divded before then Diocletian's division was far more systematic. Each of the tetrarchs had his own capital city, in a territory under his control. The idea was to create a system by which heirs to the throne were appointed by merit and would ruling as Caesars long before the place of Augustus would become vacant. They would then be the automatic heir

of the senate. This no doubt will not have been a coincidence.
If Diocletian reformed the way the empire was governed then he did not stop there. First and foremost of the changes was that consription for Roman citizens was reintroduced. The army also was significantly changed in the way it operated. The forces were divided into two parts. One part were the frontier troops guarding the borders, the limitanei, the other, highly mobile forces stationed inland, away from the immediate frontiers, and who could rush to any trouble spot, were the comitantenses.
Further the fleet was expanded.
This expansion of the military under Diocletian represented a large increase compared to the previous reigns. With now well over half a million men under arms, as well as a struggling economy, thethe Christians. Trying to strengthen Roman traditions, he much revived worship of the old Roman gods. The foreign cults however, Diocletian had no time for.
In AD 297 or 298 all soldiers and administrators were ordered to make sacrifices to the gods. Anyone who refused to do so, was immediately dismissed.
On 24 February AD 303 another edict was issued. This time Diocletian ordered the destruction of all churches and scriptures within the empire. More edicts followed that year, ordering all Christian clergy to be thrown in prison, to be released only after having made sacrifice to the Roman gods.
In April AD 304 Diocletian issued his final religious edict. All Christians were ordered to Roman gods. Anyone who would refuse would be executed.

common goal of making Europe a global blockchain technology leader. They want to assist Europe to develop smart regulations that do not choke blockchain but instead shape the global agenda for the technology.
The association hosted an overly successful Blockchain for Europe Summit on November 27 in conjunction with the four biggest European Parliament groups.
Stakeholders from all over the world converged at this summit. They discussed various issues including identity, trade, governance, financial market infrastructure, healthcare, cryptocurrencies/tokens, and transport.
Moreover, this debate displayed the potential benefits for blockchain originating companies and regulators when they engage transparently and directly.
The Head of Regulatory Relations, Europe, Ripple, Dan Morgan expressed his delight in overseeing Ripple become a founding member of the Blockchain for Europe association. He stated that it is a crucial periodfor policymakers to develop the right regulatory infrastructure to benefit blockchain technology and other digital assets.
The President Europe and co-founder, NEM Foundation, Kristof Van de Reck, was also thrilled to be among the founding members of the association. He noted that there is a lack of unbiased information particularly in the open and decentralized application of the technology.
The cooperation is set to offer insights that are not customized to the agenda of particular stakeholders or organizations.
The CTO and co-founder, Fetch.AI, Toby Simpson, believes that an integration of technologies like decentralized ledgers, AI, and machine learning gives the world a chance to enjoy technology that works more efficiently for the benefit of everybody.

A review of studies of biomass potential in the United States finds a wide variation in the estimates. A number of specific policy-relevant questions about the potential of biofuels in the United States are answered. A recently published global analysis of the potential conflict between land needed for bioenergy and land needed for food is extended to the situation in the United States. A renewable energy supply scenario, capable of meeting the 2001 US energy demand, indicates that there is enough land to support a renewable energy system but that the utilization of biomass would be limited by its land requirement.

Enda Craig slams Irish Water.
The recent press release from Irish Water is a totally unacceptable misrepresentation of the facts and a smoke screen to cover up Irish Waters gross failings, abuse of power and squandering of public monies.
In their statement they refer to the safety concerns regarding their contractors. This is an absurd and preposterous slur on our local community in Moville and Greencastle and a deliberate attempt to denigrate our legitimate concerns and those of the Lough Foyle Fishermen.
IW through their spin doctors want to divert attention away from their duty of care regarding the introduction of a drilling platform on Lough Foyle. They had consulted with no one and received permission from no one. This cavalier approach is indicative of an attitude that might

Driscoll family is of Scotch extraction, and its history after settling in America is well known.
William Turpin, father of our subject, was born Dec. 27, 1798, in the State of Maryland; and in Delaware he married Miss Sarah Elizabeth Moore, a daughter of Judge Moore, of Washington, D. C, who was a native of Delaware, and prominent in the commercial and political affairs of his time. To them were born four children, of whom William Wailes, the subject of this review, was the eldest. Alice is now the wife of Archibald Burgess, a native of Patterson, N. J., and at present a resident of the city of Washington. He is a veteran of the Civil War, having run away from home when quite young to enlist in theUnion army. Levin Denwood, the second son, died in 1858, as the result of an attack of rheumatism, caused by his accidentally breaking through the ice. Laura Virginia, the youngest child, is also deceased, her death having occurred in 1868.
William W. Turpin was born Oct. 7, 1849, at Salsbury, in what was then Somerset county, Maryland, and there he obtained his early knowledge of books in the old Salsbury Academy, which he attended until his enlistment in the United States navy, with the exception of two years spent as a grocery clerk. In 1864 he entered the navy yard as weigher and receiver for the Bureau of Construction and Repair, with which he was identified in the same capacity for four years, at the end of that time

coming to the West and locating at Hannibal, Mo., in 1869. Led to take this step by a worthy desire to achieve an independent position in the world, he decided to learn a trade as the means of acquiring a competence, and therefore began work as a brick mason. As compensation for his services while learning the trade he received his board and for the first year $60, for the second year $100, and for the third $150 a rate of payment that was small even in those days, and one which is proof of his strength and steadiness of purpose in pursuing his chosen object regardless of difficulties.
At Shelbyville, Mo., June 25, 1873, Mr. Turpin was united in marriage with Miss Emma Dobbin, daughter of Leonard Dobbin,who for many years held the office of county clerk for Shelby county, Missouri. To Mr. and Mrs. Turpin have been born three children, one of whom died in infancy, another, Virginia, died in early childhood, while one survives, this being Willie May, aged twenty-two years, who is at home with her parents. After his marriage Mr. Turpin removed to St. Louis, where he engaged as a brick mason, and removed a second time in 1876, coming at that time to Burlington. During approximately the first eighteen years of his residence in this city he was employed as a journeyman mason, but at the expiration of that period he became a contractor, erecting the Tama building, acting as superintendent of construction for the Federal building, and doing the

the light emitting diode, first and second light emitting faces and is so designed that, regardless of the position of the lid, a beam of light from the light emitting element can travel directly towards the first light emitting face, but towards the second light emitting face after having been reflected by a series of four reflecting faces or can, alternatively, travel simultaneously towards the first and second light emitting faces after having been scattered by a roughened reflecting face.
According to any one of the foregoing publications, regardless of the number of reflections taking place in the light guide block or member, the beam of light travelling from the light receiving face towards the light emitting face or faces propagates in a single plane lying at an anglein place of the plastic light guide member. However, it has been found that where the space available between the printed circuit board and a panel of the casing is extremely limited, the optical glass fiber cannot be conveniently employed since it cannot be bent at right angles. Bending the optical glass fiber at right angles or an acute angle without allowing it to break upon bending requires a substantial radius of curvature and, hence, a relatively large space is required to accommodate the optical glass fiber, which in turn hampers the downscaling of the electronic appliance.

The current Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Playoffs format with best-of-five series was introduced in the 2008-09 season and on this day in 2009, the EuroLeague witnessed its first-ever Game 5. In the decider, Regal FC Barcelona topped fellow Spanish League squad Tau Ceramica 78-62 before a sellout crowd at Palau Blaugrana to book a ticket to the 2009 Final Four in Berlin.
Barcelona never trailed
Barcelona qualified for the Final Four for the first time since 2006 after overwhelming Tau in a game it led from start to finish. Barcelona opened a double-digit lead in the first quarter behind 11 points from Juan Carlos Navarro and maintained the margin. The hosts led 40-30 at halftime, and Tau got within 7 points twice in the third before David Andersen and Ersan Ilyasovacombined on a 10-0 run that put the game out of reach. The lead peaked at 70-49 in the final quarter as Barcelona coasted to Berlin. Navarro and Ilyasova each finished with 19 points. Ilyasova also had 10 rebounds and 4 assists and Jaka Lakovic added 16 points for the winners. Tiago Splitter scored 19 points and Pete Mickeal 14 for Tau.
Ilyasova grabbing his mark
Barcelona center David Andersen became the first player to reach the Final Four with four different teams. He previously did it with Kinder Bologna, Montepaschi Siena and CSKA Moscow before Barcelona. Ilyasova's 10 total rebounds were enough to set a single-series record for total rebounds. He collected 43 in the five-game for a mark that still stands today and has only been matched once

- in 2017 by Tyler Honeycutt for Anadolu Efes Istanbul in a series against Olympiacos Piraeus.
Historic Game 5
It marked the first time a team reached the Final Four after Game 5 of a playoff series. It was also only the second time in European basketball history that a series went to five games. The first time was in the 2001 EuroLeague Finals when Virtus Bologna also beat Tau Ceramica in a decider. In between those two games, the EuroLeague Playoffs were played in the best-of-three series format for four seasons, starting in 2005 and concluding in 2008.
Perfect hosts
There have been a total of 10 playoff series that went to a deciding Game 5 since the EuroLeague introduced the format. Even though it happened on average just under oncea year, the fans witnessed at least one playoff Game 5 in eight of the last 11 seasons. Twice, in 2013 and again 2014, two series went the maximum five games. Interestingly, the home team has won each of those Game 5 deciders and only once in 10 games has the margin of victory been fewer than 8 points.
What happened next
Three weeks later at the Final Four in the German capital, Barcelona faced defending champion CSKA Moscow and lost 78-82 in the semifinals. Barcelona went on to place third that season after downing Olympiacos Piraeus 95-79 in the third-place game. A season later, Barcelona went back to the 2010 Final Four and won the title. The club from Vitoria-Gasteiz has reached the playoffs seven more times since 2009

premium then due. Defendant attached the affidavit of Alberta Dollens, who had reviewed Draper's claim of total disability. Dollens's affidavit states that, by letter of December 16, 1982, she denied Draper's request for a premium waiver. By a letter of January 26, 1983, defendant informed Draper that, because the premium that was due on August 28, 1982, had not been received, the policy had lapsed with no value. Defendant had received no premium payments since August 28, 1982, and no further correspondence about the policy until December 1990, when plaintiff inquired about the policy and defendant responded that no benefits were payable because the policy had lapsed on August 28, 1982.
Attached to Dollens' affidavit is a copy of her letter, dated December 16, 1982, informing James Draper ofclaim is wholly and necessarily dependent on the latter. Furthermore, plaintiff's complaint itself explicitly seeks a declaration that defendant wrongfully cancelled the policy *1180 during the life of the insured. Were James Draper still alive, the time in which he could have brought suit for wrongful cancellation would have run no later than early in 1993. Following the Kucera majority would require us to hold that Draper's death in 1989 extended the limitations period on his cause of action for wrongful cancellation to November 1, 1999. This holding would be inconsistent with the law we have set out; it would add an indefinite number of years to the limitations period applicable to a cause of action for the wrongful cancellation of a life insurance policy.

A:
Being a voracious reader, there is little doubt that Napoleon may have read the Jesuit translation of the Art of War by Sun Tzu. He may have dismissed the wisdom of Sun Tzu or at least never mentioned the Asian strategist, because of the preference he had for the authors of antiquity. Perhaps Sun Tzu simply confirmed that which he had already gleaned from Arrian, Polybius and Caesar; since his deep reading and reflection upon these authors would have already led him to the profound advise given by Sun Tzu. It is possible, but not cited, that the 13 chapters of the Art of War made it into his personal, portableI auditioned and participated in the International Summer Dance Intensives at Point Park and I fell in love with the studios, teachers and the idea of dancing all day, every day. Unfortunately, I did not get into the dance program immediately after my graduation from Serra Catholic, but I was accepted to the University academically with a scholarship.
I'm a native of Pittsburgh and still had the idea of reaching toward becoming a dance major in mind, so I attended Point Park with high hopes of auditioning again. However, I was also feeling out other options and majors the University had to offer. I decided to take on the SAEM major for many reasons.

determine the amount that Jo Ann Yellow Bird is entitled to for attorney's fees and expenses. The district court has made its determination. We now reach the merits of the appeal and affirm the judgment of the court below except insofar as it relates to the award of attorneys' fees and expenses.
2
* On September 15, 1976, Jo Ann Yellow Bird, an Indian woman visibly in the later months of pregnancy, was kicked in the stomach by Clifford Valentine, a police officer employed by the City of Gordon, Nebraska. Valentine was attempting to arrest Yellow Bird's husband at the time of the incident. As Yellow Bird went to the aid of her husband, Valentine kicked her in the abdomen, throwing her to the ground. After he had kicked her, Valentine handcuffed her and forced her into the back of his patrol car. Yellow Bird's pleas for medical attention were ignored. Instead of driving her a few blocks to the nearest hospital, Valentine drove her nearly twenty miles to the county jail. On the way to the jail, Valentine stopped the car and threatened to take Yellow Bird out into the country and shoot her. She was arrested and jailed; her requests for counsel were also ignored. As a result of the beating and inattention to her medical needs, she suffered physical and emotional injuries; her unborn child died in her womb and was delivered dead two weeks later.

Thereafter, Yellow Bird filed a lawsuit in federal district court

As the controversy over building new coal-fired power stations in 'low carbon' Britain heats up by the week, the defence for doing so relies more and more on 'energy security'.
Without so-far-unproven technology to capture and bury pollution out of harm's way, coal power is mankind's most carbon-polluting habit. To justify more if it, the UK government argued coal was a cheap back-up to unreliable renewables and fickle gas suppliers, and would protect jobs and investment in the industry. But costs of building the stations and buying the fuel are rising steeply, and a growing list of experts are arguing the UK can easily keep the lights on and create jobs and prosperity by

stuck in - that feeling of neither here nor there, that I seemed to be hopelessly powerless against.
We were at a friend's flat. Kabir and Irene were dancing. I drifted away to the kitchen and fervantly began doing the dishes that we had used to make the nachos. They were all laughing. Nobody had noticed that I had left.
But there were soft footsteps behind me, somebody's reflection in the cold starless window in front of me. It was somebody tall with spikes in his hair and a dimple in his stubble. I made myself smile, and turned to look at Kabir. He took my picture on his cellphone. It was an odd thing to do. I shook my head at him good-humouredly and turned away. I probably lookeda very subtle, discreet and dignified manner, as is the protagonist's style. Excellent. I really love, the contrast of my lips had learnt to curve against the truth for truth is normally perceived to upon the straight line, so in this way her curve is like a rebellion against that unbent line. Finely done!
Again, the phrasing of too close to attraction wonderful, using those nuances of closeness and nearness within attraction and playing them off the word itself. Genius!
Huuuge compliments, coming from you. Humbled, but also extremely thrilled
So I hated the in-betweenness that I was stuck in Ah! Redemption and penance of the protagonist. She suffers for the having placed her heart in such a precarious position in the first place, but it is saved from ruin, from

whatever they can find, sunglasses, cash, and from one unlocked Honda Accord, a black .40 caliber pistol. That gun spent four months changing hands and making its way South nearly 200 miles before landing in Tarpon Springs, a small city in Florida's Tampa Bay region.
Speaker 3: Caller, go ahead.
Al Letson: That December, just days before Christmas, the police in Tarpon Springs get a call at two in the morning from a resident at the Glen's Eureka Apartments complaining about music blaring from a car parked in front of the building.
Speaker 3: Are they ... They're in their vehicle or they're ...
Speaker 4: They're in their vehicle, and I've asked them to turn it down and I was physically flipped off. This happens like all the time and I'mmake sure you already knew about it.
Speaker 4: There were shots fired?
Speaker 5: Yes.
Speaker 4: Copy.
Speaker 5: Several shots are fired.
Al Letson: One bullet hits Officer Kondek and kills him.
Laura Morel covered Officer Kondek's death for the Tampa Bay Times in 2014, and afterwards, started looking into the larger issue of stolen guns in Florida. She picks up the story from here.
Laura Morel: Officer Kondek left behind a wife, six kids, and his father, Charles Kondek, Sr. His home is neat and tidy, tucked in a gated neighborhood. A flag with a picture of his son stands in his yard.
Charles Kondek: I have so much stuff that it's just overflowing.
Laura Morel: Inside, Charles has a shelf crammed with photos, candles, and pamphlets from commemorations for his son.

Medal of Ultimate Sacrifice, Medal of Honor, Combat Cross, and the patch from Tarpon Springs Police Department, a Purple Heart. That's his badge number. It was 285.
Laura Morel: You can just hear the New York police officer in Charles' voice. He is a big guy, tall and broad, with a tight haircut and mustache. He retired from the NYPD in 1990, and was proud to see his son join the force and follow in his footsteps.
When Charles got the call that his son was shot, he couldn't drive to the hospital fast enough. He blew through traffic lights and ignored speed limits. But by the time he got there, it was too late.
Charles Kondek: I just fell on the floor. My blood pressure went sky high. I wantedand I'm sorry for the way things happened.
Laura Morel: I tried to talk to the owner of the gun used in Officer Kondek's death, but he didn't return my calls or reply to my letters. But I did spend an afternoon in Jacksonville, where that gun and thousands of others like it have been stolen.
Greg Burton: Stop in the name of the law. How you doing?
Speaker 9: Good, and you?
Greg Burton: I love doing that. In 23 years, it's some of the first times I've had to do it. I'm Greg Burton, zone commander for this area.
Laura Morel: Assistant Chief Burton is with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, or JSO. He's at the entrance of a local gated community, chatting with residents as they come home from work.

11: Thank you.
Tom Martin: So many people, when they purchase a gun, they don't really take on what the real responsibility of gun ownership is.
Laura Morel: That's Detective Tom Martin. He and Detective Dale Groves are with JSO's Auto Burglary Task Force.
Can you guys talk about the MO that's used here to break into cars?
Tom Martin: A lot of times, they're in a stolen car. Someone will drop off a carload of kids in the back of the neighborhood. Those kids will fan out. They'll pull on door handles, and whatever car is open, they go in and they see what they can get. I just interviewed a kid yesterday morning. He was under 14, and he had a gun on him, and when I asked him, heHis shop was broken into twice last year. He's showing me surveillance footage of the first break-in.
Jason Mueller: Oh yeah, breaks the glass. They all run in. Well, guy jumps over the counter, takes the two guns. You can hear my alarm just blaring. And they were in and out in about 22 seconds. This is what started me going gray and losing my hair.
Morel: Jason is quick to make a joke and laughs off the first burglary. It was an amateur job, he says, clearly the work of some kids. They only made off with two antique guns that didn't even work. But he didn't laugh three months later when he was hit again. This time by pros. The burglars turned the security cameras off and pried

impact on the likelihood of you surviving a car crash wasn't even on the radar during the first half of the 20th century.
Speaker 1: This is Amy Gangloff, a historian who traces the auto safety idea back to the research project of a self taught scientist named Hugh DeHaven.
Hugh: You tell me how it's done.
Speaker 7: No, you don't know really how the project started.
Hugh: No. I do not.
Speaker 1: This is an old cassette tape I tracked down of Hugh being interviewed.
Hugh: The project really started in 1917 and 18 when I was flying for the Royal Flying Corps.

Speaker 1: Joan Claybrook came to Washington D.C. in 1965 to work for an idealistic freshman congressman from Georgia.
Joan: He was concerned about the kids in his neighborhood being killed in car crashes. He had read Unsafe At Any Speed.
Speaker 1: Unsafe At Any Speed was an unlikely best seller by a car safety obsessed young lawyer named Ralph Nader. Nader built on Hugh DeHaven's research and turned into a scorching indictment of the auto industry. He showed that not only did car companies know about safety technology, like the collapsible steering column, they had the patents. They just weren't using them.
Joan: There are very few books that have such an instrumental impact. That's why the auto industry hired a gum shoe to trail Nader and get

The first signs of spring are now clearly visible. Plants in the garden and on the patio are gradually coming to life, and gardeners are keen to get down to work, as there is plenty to do this month to prepare the garden for the spring.
In the coming months it is important to fertilize the garden. The ideal moment to add fertilizer differs per plant. Some plants even have their own specially developed fertilizer. Of course, it is possible to use standard fertilizer for the whole garden, but for the best results some plants need fertilizer with a special composition.

display in Invasion was very important. Resources were displayed alongside Health, Ammo, and an Act Timer. The Weapons could be selected just like in every other game, as well as Buildings divided by category. There was a Minimap as well that acted as a guide for the player, and could be zoomed in. Orders would pop up on the screen as well, and if you just started playing, you would get Tips based on what class you were playing, what weapon you were using, what team you were on, and what your crosshair was hovering over. This was added to help teach players how to play in detailed fashion alongside gameplay without the need for a tutorial.
History
When the Half-Life 2 source tree was leaked in late 2003, twomodels of the Team Fortress 2 Commando class were included, along with the Team Fortress 2 source code, which was fully compilable.
In the end, this build was completely scrapped and only select things in this version would appear in the final version of Team Fortress 2. One of the Developer Commentaries in the final version of Team Fortress 2 mention that they had made the game too complex. Instead, the team took a completely different direction when they began making the next build; instead of trying to make a large, RTS-like FPS game, they went back and streamlined the Classic Team Fortress games for a new generation of gamers, then added a unique art style. This iteration was mentioned in an August 2007 interview with Gabe Newell by
