Stahr was partially ejected and pinned under the overturned
vehicle. He was extricated by Pagosa Fire Protection District
personnel, said Talbot.
According to Fire Chief Warren Grams, Stahr was extricated and
turned over to EMS for airlift to Durango.
Talbot said that speed was at issue in the accident, but alcohol
was not. The state patrol will continue to investigate the incident.
Charges could be pressed against Stahr for driving without a license
and reckless driving.

27 new hangars for Stevens
Field, new policies on horizon
By Chuck McGuire
Staff Writer
With physical improvementsmap of the development
areas is available upon request, and those with questions may call
731-3060.
Physical improvements notwithstanding, the airport is also
adopting new policies and operations procedures. In the process,
Barter has issued his first two Stevens Field policy letters,
dictating grounds movement rules and a change in emergency flight
operations.
Airfield Policy 06-01 was issued in response to recent incidents
on or near the airport runway, which seem to indicate a lack of
understanding of airport movement and runway safety regulations.
Essentially, it prohibits all motor vehicles and pedestrians, except
emergency and official airport vehicles and personnel, from driving
on, walking on, or crossing runways 01 and 19.
The restrictions also apply to all areas within 400 feet of either
side of the runway, including the approach and departure areas inside
the fenced airport perimeter - an area referred to as

Staff Writer
My brother called last Wednesday to tell me
he had volunteered for a tour in Iraq. Two days earlier he celebrated
his thirty-seventh birthday. He is married and has two
children.
My brother is a chief in the United States
Navy. He enlisted when he was 20, and soon thereafter began a career
in Naval aviation. He has made a good go of it. He is close to
earning a bachelor's degree, has flown countless missions from air

around the world, and intends to obtain a master's. He thinks
about becoming a teacher. He'll do it all on the Navy's dime. He sees
volunteering for Iraq as a necessary career move. He wants a star on
his chief's anchor. We don't talk about what he thinks about the war.
For him it is business, the tour a résumé
builder.
On the phone, when he told me the news, he
was giddy, like a sailor with his first tattoo, like a freshman going
on his first big date, but my brother is neither. He is experienced,
understands the risks, and is a family man. And I'm sure the
implications of the decision - the impact on him and his family and
thoughts of an untimely death - mixed with a touch of bravado, and an
adrenaline rush from volunteeringto serve in the deadliest place on
the planet, created a strange emotional elixir. He was wired but
ready.
I told him he hadn't made a wise decision,
but that I understood. There was a time when I was also ready to go
to Iraq, and although the circumstances were different, my
motivations were the same.
I had spent years preparing for the journey.
I studied Middle Eastern politics and history, learned Arabic, and
visited the region twice. During my junior year at the University of
New Mexico, I won a scholarship and planned to study in Yemen, where
I would complete my senior thesis and hone language skills. I had
planned to leave Sept. 28, 2001. Yet, when I watched the second
airplane crash into the World Trade Center, I watched my semester
abroad, and thousands of lives, vaporize like so

room for more.
The volunteers, each who sees their clients at least once a week,
play a role that far surpasses that of a mere delivery person. They
have developed important relationships with their clients and their
visits are in many cases the high point for that client's day. They
may chat, catch up on family, share pictures and memories of Pagosa's
past. In some cases, the volunteer may intervene in an emergency
situation.
Such was the case last summer. Two-year volunteer Jarrell Tyson
was making a delivery to one of his clients and as he drove up to the
house, he saw his client lying helpless in the front yard. He had
collapsed and was unable to get up or reach anyone for help. Jarrell
attempted to help him up but his client's legs would not cooperate,
so Jarrell called911. The client was taken to Durango where he was
placed on new medication. The following week when Jarrell came by, he
was back home, looking great and said he was feeling better than he
had in a very long time.
If you are interested in making a difference in someone's life and
in our community, please call The Den at 264-2167 and volunteer to
deliver meals. Just one hour of your time a week can bring a smile to
someone's face, provide friendship and company, and mean the world to
someone who needs a little support. Please volunteer now and help our
seniors who are homebound.
From Archuleta County, a huge thank you to our caring and
dedicated volunteers.
More thanks
I want to thank everyone who helped with the November newsletter

continued to exploit a porous
Pirate back row, but gave away points with hitting errors.
With the Tigers in front 18-14, Pagosa made
its move. A serve error gave the Pirates a point and Spencer stepped
to the line.
She didn't leave.
A Holy Family attack went out; Fulmer killed
off the block and the Tigers committed three hitting mistakes to give
away points. Spencer hit an ace, Haynes crushed a Tiger overpass;
Spencer served another ace,
A Tiger put the ball into the net and, after
two great ups by Pirate defenders, Haynes tipped for a point. Pagosa
was at game point 24-18 and Spencer ended it with yet another ace
serve.
After leading throughout the first part of
the fourth game, it looked as if the Pirates would slip and fall.
Pagosa led 13-11 when things went temporarily south.
The Tigers got aand the game was tied 19-19.
Spencer came up big in the middle, scoring
off the quick set. Rand hit a serve that appeared to be long, but a
Tiger touched it and the Pirates had a 21-19 lead. A Tiger hit went
into the net in the face of Pirate blockers and Pagosa was ahead
22-19.
Pagosa surrendered a point with a player
making contact with the net, but a Tiger serve went into the net and
another Tiger hit found net as the Pirate blockers put up a wall.
Pagosa was at game and match point 24-20.
Holy Family wasn't finished. The Tigers
scored with a kill and got two points as the Pirate quick attack went
awry on successive exchanges.

kill and a tip, and senior middle hitter
Jennifer Haynes put an ace serve down. Pagosa's points would come in
twos and threes from there on. Unfortunately, so would St. Mary's. On
the way to the first-game loss, the Pirates got points on two kills
from Kim Fulmer from the right side, two kills from the middle by
Haynes, a tip by junior outside Camille Rand and an ace by senior
defensive specialist Mariah Howell. The Pirates made too many errors
and gave away too many balls in the back row to pull close enough to
make a run.
In the second game, however, it was Pagosa's
turn to make the early-game surge. With St. Mary's leading 4-2, the
Pirates turned the momentum. Haynes killed a 1 from the middle and,
after St. Mary's gave up to points with errors,she put two ace
serves down to give her team a 7-4 advantage. St. Mary's surrendered
four unearned points, scored with a tip, and Garman killed
cross-court. Pagosa was up 11-6.
Danielle Spencer converted a quick set in
the middle, but the team from Colorado Springs managed to close to
within two points, 12-10. Fulmer responded with a kill; Garman put a
left-handed kill down and St. Mary's continued to make mistakes. With
a successful tip by Rand, Pagosa was in front, 18-14.
St. Mary's was not giving up. A hit went out
off the Pirate block and another St. Mary's attack went down the
line. The Pagosa advantage was again two points, 18-16.
Rand replied with two scores - a kill for
the right side and an ace. St. Mary's came back with two. With the
Pirates ahead 21-19, Haynes scored

off a short set in the middle,
Garman killed from the right side and a St. Mary's went out. The
Pirates gave up one last point with a ball out of bounds off the
short set but St. Mary's committed a passing error and the Pirates
had the win.
St. Mary's runs in game three gave the team
the advantage it needed to regain the match advantage. St. Mary's
went ahead 5-0 at the start of the game then, leading 10-7, ran off
eight unanswered points to take a significant lead, many of the eight
points coming as a result of sluggish back-row play on Pagosa's side
of the net.
Fulmer stopped the bleeding with a tip, but
St. Mary's responded with a point. Garman scored again from the right
side and a Pirate stuff put another point on the board.St. Mary's
got a ball to roll the right way off the tape, Rand came back with a
kill inside the block, the St. Mary's strong side hitter went
line.
St. Mary's had a substantial 21-11 lead, but
the Pirates were not rolling over. St. Mary's committed a hitting
error, Rand killed twice for points, a St. Mary's attack went out and
Garman hit an ace. Pagosa had closed to 21-16.
Again, St. Mary's went line, then got a
point on a tip of an errant Pagosa pass. A Pagosa attack out of
bounds put St. Mary's at game point. After a hitting error on the
other side of the net, a Pagosa serve mistake handed over the
game.
The one exception to the pattern in the
match happened in the fourth game. St. Mary's overwhelmed the Pirates

is what it takes to beat the
Vikings, the No. 2 ranked team in Class 3A, behind the legendary
Colorado Springs Christian Lions.
Valley does nothing flashy. The Vikings play
consistent, precise defense, exhibit a superb passing game and an
equally fluid and well-distributed attack. Their ploy: let the
opponents make the mistakes, then finish them off when the
opportunity arises.
Unfortunately for the Pirates, that is just
what the Vikings did Saturday, to take a 25-17, 25-13, 25-22 victory
and end Pagosa's season. The Pirates gave the Vikings a tussle in the
final game of the match, but mistakes made the difference.
Pagosa got off to a quick start in the first
game, building a 4-0 lead as Kim Canty stunned a normally solid
Viking serve receive with two aces; but the home team rebounded
quickly, scoring five unanswered points.
The teams tiedfor the final time in the
game at 9-9. Junior outside hitter Camille Rand put a kill down off a
block, but Pagosa mistakes continued to hand over points.
The Vikings led 15-12 when a six-point
explosion - four of the points unearned - expanded the advantage to
21-12.
Canty scored with a hit that fell inside the
Valley block but the Vikings came back with a quick attack from the
middle and got a point on a Pirate passing error.
Senior middle hitter Jennifer Haynes put a
short set down and a Valley hit went out of bounds. A Pirate serve
went into the net and the home team was at game point, 24-15. Pagosa
got two gifts from their hosts before a Viking attack from the middle
fell to the floor off the block.
Pagosa led once in the second

game of the
match, going ahead 3-2 as Haynes put an off-speed hit down off a
quick set to the middle, Alaina Garman scored from the right side and
Haynes stuffed a Viking hitter. Valley took a 5-3 lead and didn't
look back. The Viking serve receive tightened up and the Valley
defense closed down any tip game from the Pirates.
Rand killed from both sides of the net and
Kim Fulmer put a hit out off a Viking's hands. Pagosa trailed 12-7.
The Vikings then went on a seven-point run, leading 19-7 before an
attack went out and returned serve to the Pirates.
Canty hit an ace, but a serve into the net
put the Vikings in front 20-10.
Haynes scored with a soft shot off the 1,
Danielle Spencer converted a Viking overpass and Rand hit inside the
block; theadvantage.
Pagosa responded with three two-point
rallies. A Viking hit went out and Haynes got a point with an ace.
Valley got points on a quick attack from the middle and an ace from a
Pirate serve-receive mistake. Rand killed off the block then hit
successfully to the back line. The Pirates trailed 19-20 and the
Valley fans were a bit nervous.
The Vikings responded with a kill of a quick
set in the middle, and Pagosa surrendered charity points with a ball
hit out and a passing error.
Spencer put another point on the board for
the Pirates, successfully converting a quick set in the middle, but
Valley came right back to go to game and match point with a ball that
went down the net to a open spot on the floor.
A Viking serve into the net made things

Past
The Jicarilla 'Trail of Tears'
By John M. Motter
SUN Columnist
For scarcely a year, from 1880 to 1881, the Jicarilla believed
they owned a reservation west of Tierra Amarilla. Wouldn't the
presidential proclamation creating the reservation be binding?
Apparently not.
When Agent Llewellyn ordered the Jicarilla to move to the
Mescalero Apache Reservation in southern New Mexico in 1881, the
response was predictable.
Jicarilla leader Mundo and his people were tired of looking for a
permanent home, a search they had been involved in since the early
1850s. They were still rankled at the loss oftheir holy lands, the
homelands of the Jicarilla before Anglos entered the scene. Mundo's
band insisted they be allowed to remain where they were.
Llewellyn's callous response was that his orders were final and
that the Amargo Agency's supplies were already being sent to
Mescalero. He made it clear that those willing to go with him would
be treated kindly, fed well, and given land, but those not
cooperative would be placed in the hands of the military.
On Aug. 15, the Jicarilla, Llewellyn and Gen. David S. Stanley
held a council to discuss the move to Mescalero. Gen. Stanley
certified that Mundo had consented, but only under protest. He was
inclined to yield only to force.
Mundo called for Congress to investigate. He believed the attempt
to move the Jicarilla was illegal. He also asked that the reservation
not be opened

his people were pleased, Mundo and his people unhappy.
Mundo was aggressive enough that another trip to Washington D.C. was
arranged for the Jicarilla leaders.
Only Llewellyn, however, actually went to Washington. He returned
to Mescalero determined to force Mundo and his band to cooperate. The
absence of arable land formed the basis for Mundo's resistance. On
Nov. 15, 1885, Fletcher J. Cowart replace Llewellyn as agent for the
Mescalero Apache. He worked toward better relations with Mundo and
his people.
Mundo, along with some of his headmen, proposed that he be allowed
to sever tribal relations and take up homesteads. He said all of his
people, 107 households, wished to take this step. They wanted land
where they could live close together as one people.
In the summer of 1886, Mundo was informed that only the four
headmen would be allowedsophisticated observations of the large scale structure
of the universe and to study progressive changes in the universe's
chemical composition as it has grown older.
With the addition of the camera, the
spectrograph and other upgrades, Griffin said Hubble will be at the
top of its game.
The telescope is named for astronomer Edwin
Powell Hubble, who, in the 1920s, discovered the universe - along
with its component parts, galaxies, stars, and planets - is
expanding. The rate of the universe's expansion is now called the
Hubble Constant, and contemporary astronomers have confirmed Hubble's
theory using the space telescope that is the astronomer's
namesake.
With Hubble's theory confirmed, many
theorists expected the rate of expansion to gradually slow, perhaps
even stop. But observations in 1998 indicated that about four to five
billion years ago, rather than slowing down, the rate of expansion
has increased, and

He bolted out, stumbling from the jump, and he received a bonus for knocking down the human on his way out. The dogs who had been in his cage followed him stupidly. Most of them had been way too far gone to realize the freedom they had just earned: they had been here too long.
Roger, however, knew exactly what it meant, and he catapulted himself all the way out of there. After he was a few miles away, he wheezed. Out of breath due to his raging yet somehow still minor illness, the almost yearling found his way to a truck thatwas headed across the states, hopefully somewhere far away. It was a shipping truck, so it held a lot of promise. Saying goodbye to the other dogs who had managed to escape along with him, Roger had earned a new nickname. He carried it with him for three days the truck traveled, all the way to Nome, Alaska. The mail guy who came to drop off some fishing supplies went to the back to gather some boxes. This was his last stop until he had to go back around and start trips all over again to other parts of America, and so the boxes were dwindling.
Roger, still loving his new nickname, Rouge, had no other objects to hide behind. So this time, when the mail guy came to

Current rules allow American and other foreign firms to bid for NHS contracts if they have a European subsidiary. The US company United Health owns Optum, for example, which provides IT and research services to some NHS organisations.
It is conceivable that in any trade talks, US negotiators would demand a more streamlined bidding process to open up access. It should be noted, however, that the head of NHS England, Simon Stevens, has called for an end to any competitive tendering.
When Mr Trump visited the UK in June, he said the NHS would form part of negotiations over a possible future trade deal between the UK and US. The next day, he rowed back from those remarks.

The rotary ring is provided integrally with the rotary shaft on an outer circumferential portion of the rotary shaft. The stationary ring is fixed to the casing and is provided to face the rotary ring in an axial direction of the rotary shaft. The stationary ring is pressed toward the rotary ring by a coil spring or the like. Therefore, in a state in which the rotary machine is stopped, the stationary ring and the rotary ring abut on each other. In addition, a spiral groove is formed on a surface of the rotary ring facing the stationary ring. When the rotary machine is operated and the rotary shaft rotates, a seal gas is introduced between the rotary ring and the stationary ring by the spiral groove. Dueto a pressure of the gas, the stationary ring is pressed in the axial direction of the rotary shaft against a biasing force of the coil spring. As a result, a minute gap is formed between the rotary ring and the stationary ring. The seal gas is caused to flow from an inside of the rotary machine toward an outside thereof through the gap, and thus sealing between the rotary shaft and the casing is achieved. In this case, the pressure of the seal gas is higher than the pressure inside and outside the rotary machine.
In such a gas seal portion, the seal gas flowing from the inside of the rotary machine to the outside thereof via the gap between the rotary ring and the stationary ring is

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to golf clubs of the iron type and, in particular, to of a golf iron having an improved weight distribution.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Golf irons are commonly manufactured as solid metal castings having the approximate weight and the shape desired for the numbered catagory of the iron. The irons are commonly grouped into numbered catagories from one to nine with the lowest numbered iron having the longest shaft, the flattest or most vertical face and the lightest head weight. As the catagory number increases, the face becomes more inclined from the vertical, the shaft shortens about one-half inch and the weight of the club head increases by about seven grams for each number change. Golf irons also include specialty ironsa neck and dependent hozel for insertion of the club shaft. The desired swing weight is obtained by loading a predetermined amount of weights in the bottom of the shaft.
The aforementioned manufacture does not achieve optimum weight distribution in a golf iron head. Because the head is a unitary, solid casting, the upper portion of the head cannot be lightened sufficiently to obtain as low a center of gravity as is desirable to attain maximum loft in the trajectory of a ball struck by the iron. Additionally, weighting the individual irons by loading weights in the shaft to achieve the desired weight locates material in the shaft above the club head. This not only damages the dynamic characteristics of the shaft but the additional weight above the heel

Tony Blair could not have hoped for a more upbeat end to his party conference.
By inviting Nelson Mandela to give the final speech of the week, he knew his troops would be sent off with new fire in the bellies, inspired by one of the great political heroes of the century.
And, after a conference that has seen Mr Blair grappling his way back to credibility after a disastrous few weeks - and which even witnessed a shock outbreak of Old Labourism over pensions - Mr Mandela did not disappoint.
His speech echoed with the sort of sentiment that was once the staple of Labour conferences but has recently seemed out of place in the New Labour party. And the delegates relished every second of it.
For the prime minister, itbrought to a close what was without doubt his most difficult conference.
Before the Brighton meeting he had plummeted from being the most popular prime minister in living memory to a man fighting for his future.
He desperately needed to re-launch himself in Brighton and put his party back on track for an historic second general election victory.
Career saving
Chancellor Gordon Brown started the fightback with a showstopping speech in which he demanded a national debate about tax and spend priorities.
The prime minister then rose to the occasion the following day with what, in retrospect, may well be seen as a career saving speech.
He expressed regret over previous mistakes and came close to contrition over disasters such as the millennium dome.

One of the central reasons that bodybuilding competitions and muscle magazines were so successful in the 1950s, was because the gay community made up its largest fanbase.

One such transaction occurred in the hall in front of Peterson's apartment during which time the door was ajar and a Treasury Agent, one Aubrey Roumo, was seated inside. The second took place just outside the building in which Peterson's apartment was situated and at the foot of the stairway. Here also Agent Roumo was stationed in the room. Immediately before each transaction, Peterson was thoroughly searched by a Government agent to make sure that no narcotics or money, other than that involved in the very transaction about to be consummated, were on

Catalans 1–0 ahead, they eventually lost 2–1.
Catalonia vs. Brazil
During the 1930s, Catalonia continued playing friendly games against an array of teams; 1934 was a particularly good year. On 2 February, they played Spain and lost 2–0 at Les Corts. Four months later, they played Brazil twice. On 17 June, the Catalan XI beat Brazil 2–1 at Les Corts and then on 24 June, they held them to a 2–2 draw at the Vista Alegre in Girona. The Brazil team had been in Europe to play in the official 1934 FIFA World Cup and included the legendary Leônidas in their team. The Catalan XI completed a good month when on June 29 they beat the reigning official La Liga champions, Athletic Bilbao, 5–1.
During this era, several notable Barcelona players,including the Spanish players László Kubala, Luis Suárez, Evaristo and later Jesús María Pereda, played for the Catalan XI. On 26 January 1955, in a friendly game against Bologna at Les Corts, Kubala was also joined by another guest player, Alfredo Di Stéfano. The Catalan XI won 6–2 with two goals from Kubala and one from Di Stéfano. On 1 September 1956, Di Stéfano returned to Les Corts with Real Madrid, recent winners of the first official European Cup, and played a Selecció de Barcelona. Real won the game 7–3.
Democratic era
Since the restoration of democracy in the 1970s, the Catalonia representative team has regularly played international friendly matches. They put together a string of successful results against countries like Bulgaria, Nigeria, Yugoslavia, Lithuania and Chile. On 5 May

of the flower causes its legs and back to become sturdier in order to support it. Additional leaves with woody stems, which are supported by vines, are grown around the flower. Mega Venusaur also develops dark markings on its forehead below the new flower.
Venusaur uses its flower to catch the sun's rays to convert them into energy, which causes the flower to become more vibrant. The flower releases a soothing scent that attracts Pokémon and calms emotions. This scent becomes stronger after a rainy day. In the anime, Venusaur has demonstrated the ability to manipulate nature, release several vines from its back, and lead evolution ceremonies for Bulbasaur and Ivysaur. Frenzy Plant was its signature move in the past. This Pokémon is rarely found in the wild, buthas been known to inhabit grasslands.

A Venusaur nicknamed Bruteroot appeared in Mewtwo Strikes Back, under the ownership of Corey. It was taken away from her by one of Mewtwo's special Poké Balls but was liberated by Ash along with the other confiscated Pokémon. Along with Ash's Charizard and Neesha's Blastoise, they were the only confiscated Pokémon not to be cloned and they had the same marks that Bulbasaurtwo had, indicating that it was likely obtained by Mewtwo through different means than the ones used to clone. Its clone reappeared in Mewtwo Returns. Corey's Venusaur also appeared in an alternate timeline of the main series that was introduced in I Choose You!, where it was seen battling Neesha's Blastoise; it is unknown if it holds the same nickname in

I waited patiently for the Lord and He inclined to me and heard my cry. He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay and He set my feet upon a rock, making my footsteps firm. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. many will see and fear and will trust in the Lord.

the question before us may be briefly stated. On July 23, 1958 the prisoner committed an armed robbery in New Castle County. Shortly thereafter, he went to Michigan where, on August 1, 1958, he committed an armed robbery. On August 12, 1958 he plead guilty to that crime in Michigan and was sentenced to a term of 12 to 25 years in a Michigan prison. On August 22, 1958 a Delaware detainer for the prisoner on a charge of armed robbery was filed with the Michigan prison authorities. On January 26, 1959 the prisoner was indicted in Delaware for armed robbery. On August 9, 1961 the prisoner wrote the Delaware Attorney General requesting information as to this charge. A copy of the indictment was forwarded to him onAugust 14, 1961. On August 21, 1961 the prisoner, while still in jail in Michigan, filed a motion in New Castle County for a speedy trial. On September 28, 1961 the Michigan authorities released the prisoner to the custody of the Delaware authorities.
In Delaware counsel was appointed for the prisoner who, on October 6, 1961, filed in his behalf a motion to dismiss the indictment for failure to provide a speedy trial. This motion was denied on February 1, 1962, and on April 4, 1962 the prisoner went to trial, was convicted and sentenced to a term of four years commencing on September 29, 1961, the date he was first taken into custody in Delaware.
On these facts the prisoner now asks us to void his conviction on the

and extraction, and on a substantial subsidy from the Danish Government. The subsidy was budgeted to be about $535 million in 2015, approximately 56% of government revenues that year. The public sector, including publicly owned enterprises and the municipalities, plays the dominant role in Greenland's economy. Greenland's real GDP contracted about 5% from 2012 to 2014. Real growth is projected for 2015 and 2016 due to increasing world prices for fish and shellfish, public construction activities, and to a small degree from increased revenues from small-scale mining. During the last decade the Greenland Home Rule Government pursued conservative fiscal and monetary policies, but public pressure has increased for better schools, health care, and retirement systems. The public budget exhibited a deficit of 2% of GDP in 2014, butprices and currently only three mines are under development. The island has potential for natural resource exploitation with rare-earth, uranium, and iron ore mineral projects proposed. Tourism offers another avenue of economic growth for Greenland, with increasing numbers of cruise lines now operating in Greenland's western and southern waters during the peak summer tourism season. The economy remains critically dependent on exports of shrimp and fish, income from resource exploration and extraction, and on a substantial subsidy from the Danish Government. The subsidy was budgeted to be about $535 million in 2015, approximately 56% of government revenues that year.

are exposed within the freezer compartment.
Based on the above, there is a need in the art for an ice maker assembly that leads to an increase in the rate of ice formation in an ice tray, without adding substantial costs to the production of the overall assembly and without adding additional motorized parts.
The present invention is directed to an air delivery assembly for an ice maker located in a freezer having an outer wall spaced apart from an inner wall. The air delivery assembly includes an air tunnel, an air deflector, and a restrictor plate. The air tunnel has a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is positioned adjacent to an ice mold cavity and the second end is positioned adjacent to the innerwall of the freezer. The air deflector is located adjacent to the second end of the air tunnel, substantially perpendicular to the inner wall of the freezer. By positioning the air deflector between the inner and outer walls of the freezer, the air deflector redirects air between the walls, through the air tunnel, and onto the ice mold. Further, the restrictor plate is attached to the air tunnel for restricting air flow above the air tunnel at a rate equal to the increase of air flow through the air tunnel based on the presence of the air deflector. Preferably, the air delivery system readily snap-locks to the inner wall of the freezer, which is preferably an evaporator coil cover.

He was carrying a blue suitcase with brown trim; there was nothing unusual about his appearance or attire. He paused momentarily in the arrival gate area, looked around, waited a few minutes while other passengers passed him, and then started along the concourse, looked around again, and entered a snack bar. In a few minutes, he exited the snack bar with a soft drink. He walked directly across to a bank of pay telephones and sat down in one of the enclosures. While holding a phone receiver, he twice stood up and looked over the booth's partition. Within three to five minutes, he left the phone booth area by a different path than the one he used to enter it, rejoining the concourse past several men standing nearthe phone booths, and proceeded in the direction of the baggage claim area. At that point, he was stopped by three of the men who had been standing outside the phone booth area after following him from the arrival gate. They identified themselves to Sery as police officers. One was Agent Mark Whittaker of the Utah Narcotics and Liquor Enforcement Bureau; one was Sergeant William Pearson of the Miami, Florida Police Department.
The day Sery arrived, Sergeant Pearson was conducting a drug courier seminar for Salt Lake City police. The training session for twenty to twenty-five officers had moved out of the classroom and into the airport concourses for practical application. Approximately six officers were watching the deplaning of Sery's flight from Florida, including Pearson and Whittaker. As soon

Daniel Anguilu, a graffiti muralist, stands in front of Nekst's mural, which he is fighting to save at the corner of Crawford and Elgin streets, Sunday, Jan. 5, 2014, in Houston. Anguilu paints gorgeous abstract murals that resemble stained glass. He's the outsider darling of the Houston art world; his work has been commissioned by the Glassell School, DiverseWorks, Lawndale Art Center and the Station Museum. Anguilu's latest project, though, isn't about art-world credibility. It's about saving the work of an old friend. Nekst, an internationally known graffiti painter who

it gets pushed under a rug hidden from the eyes of the man it is meant for. One small act will throw lives into turmoil. So, too, one small act in this story sets off a series of life altering and potentially destructive events. Ordinary lives, honorable people with no ill-intentions snared in a web not of their making and not easily disentangled.
Simon and Lily and their three young children are an average British family leading a quiet middle class life in London. On the surface they are just like their neighbors, putting away money as they earn to buy nicer things for their home. Simon and his son spend time train watching and Lily is a teacher helping make ends meet while running a household. There arenot. Normally he would not. But Giles is someone from his past, so against his better judgement he goes to pick up the file from Giles's rooms, but already the wheels are set in motion. There is someone else in the apartment, but he gets the classified file and puts it into a briefcase and brings it to his home. Things have not come off as easily as Giles thought they would. He is away now in hospital and Simon has hidden the briefcase behind the household wellies to be dealt with as soon as he can. But Lily finds the case as she is cleaning. She sees the file and the initials and the sensitive documents. She knows just enough of Simon's work to know what trouble

frame the head of the East German agency and essentially get him executed.
Alec takes on a job in a small library where he meets a young Jewish woman who falls for him. Maybe it's his worst mistake to begin a relationship with her, but he does. Before the final act that will take him behind the iron curtain for his big finale, he makes her promise not to come looking for him no matter what she suspects might be happening. Famous last words.
After a bust-up lands him in jail he comes to the attention of his East German counterparts and they in turn come to recruit him to spy for them. It's all an illusion, of course, and all going according to plan. What would that make him,a double double-agent? He's brought over to Europe, first the Netherlands and then unexpectedly to East Germany, where things get interesting. As he gets deeper into the heart of Eastern Europe, so too, does the story become more and more complicated. Liz, a Communist member, is brought over to East Germany not understanding what's behind the invitation. She thinks it's all to do with her political persuasion, but in reality she is going to be bait.
It's as complicated as it sounds. More complicated actually. This is a story filled with double crosses and triple crosses and rugs pulled out from under your feet. It's hard to peel back the layers to see just what is really underneath. It's probably not what you think. And it's not who you

with a degenerative hip and a thigh on the verge of collapse, he managed to somehow sneak in 162 games over parts of his five final seasons. Those games and nine more in the playoffs. One hundred and seventy one games in all. With nothing to skate on but will.
Neely scored 129 goals in those fateful five seasons. Or to translate that number to meaningful statistics for just a moment: He scored at a 62-goal pace when his hands worked those five years but almost nothing else did.
What is more Hall of Fame than that?
Scoring all those goals on a team where there were few other offensive options. This wasn't Glenn Anderson playing on a second line with Mark Messier, never facing a No. 1 checking line, playingbehind Wayne Gretzky and Jari Kurri. This wasn't Ciccarelli, standing a few steps from the crease, chirping at the goalie and batting in somebody else's rebound.
And it makes you wonder: If there is no place for Anderson and Ciccarelli now, will there ever be?
When will there be a year with the kind of opening that enabled the Hall committee to revisit Neely's candidacy?
To get it right after six years waiting.
Anyone who watched Cam Neely play in Boston, heard him, felt him, knows where he belongs. Even if he had to limp his way into the Hall.

Crossroads of Twilight in The Wheel of Time series, not much happened until near the end of the book, and only one of those few morsels of actual good reading was a significant plot development. I can understand this one may be setup for Winds of Winter, which the preview in the back of my copy made it sound incredibly more appealing than the fifth volume. But it has been six years and there's no sign of Winds of Winter. I know Martin has been busy with the show, that he's a meticulous writer, and that he promises he's working on it, but I have to wonder how serious he is about finishing the books. He's already made so much money he probably doesn't have any real incentiveThe method of detecting standing bowling pins in use in most commerical bowling establishments comprises mechanical switches or microswitches disposed on the pinsetter of a bowling machine which faces the predetermined positions of the ten pins. A certain time after the first ball is thrown, the pin setter is brought down to pick up the remaining pins. The presence and locations of the remaining pins is electromechanically signaled by the microswitches. The output signal from each of the switches is applied to an indicating lamp, and a count of the energized switches takes place to provide a pinfall count. However, this system suffers from both a slow operating speed and a tendency to jam.

mouth off of them. Sue pushed Tina onto her back and worked her mouth down across Tina?s flat stomach to her neatly trimmed blonde bush. I was sure, from Tina?s reactions, the Sue knew exactly what she was doing as she licked Tina into a state of howling ecstasy. After catching her breath Tina returned the favor, starting by licking her own sweet juices from Sue?s face then slowly working her hands and mouth down her body until she found her smooth shaven, dripping pussy.
Sue was cumming so loudly that Bill went over to the bed and put his hard cock into her mouth to try to muffle the sounds. I in turn stood behind Tina, who?s ass was at the foot of the bed and inserted mythrobbing prick into her hot, freshly licked hole. Sue came so hard the I feared she would bite Bill, but he didn?t seem worried and kept his 6 inches buried deep in her mouth. As Sue?s thrashing about and moaning subsided Tina crept up the bed, leaving my average size cock swinging in the breeze, and proceeded to kiss Sue sharing pussy juice with her once again.
That sweet kiss was accomplished with the head of Bill?s cock still between Sue?s lips and soon turned into Tina giving Bill one of her signature blow jobs. Tina got off of the bed, pulling Bill, she sat on the edge of the other bed and told Bill to fuck her mouth. I heard her gag a few times, Bill?s cock is

With a broad smile on her face she slid up my body and slowly lowered herself onto my waiting penis. Sue seemed to have total control over her vaginal muscles, at times she gripped me so tightly until I neared orgasm then she would loosen up and let me regain control. After switching positions a few times and her having had at least 3 orgasms I told Sue that I was ready to have one myself. She laid on her back and guided my dick to her mouth where I proceeded toback in some Los Angeles schools as part of a wider push-back against such disciplining after President Barack Obama in January issued reforms emphasizing alternatives to criminalizing students.

Radnor is best known as a stage where Burns was unbeaten in the World Rally Championship. In the fog in 1997, Burns was so quick that he took a minute out of his British rival Colin McRae in the stage.
The final day of the rally has been shortened slightly but remains a big challenge, with organizers running just five kilometers short of the maximum usage of 80 kilometers for the Pirelli control tire. The crews will tackle Resolfen and Margam twice on one set of soft-compound Scorpion covers.
The route for this year's Rally GB will be unveiled at the event's official launch in Cardiff later today.

See Moore Depo. at 26. According to her own account, she was flatly uncooperative when she returned to the parking lot, refusing to produce identification simply because she believed that the entire altercation was Officer Meadows's fault.

An innovative, two-in-one picture book follows a parallel day in the life of two families: one in a Western city and one in a North African village.
Somewhere in Sydney, Australia, a boy and his family wake up, eat breakfast, and head out for a busy day of shopping. Meanwhile, in a small village in Morocco, a boy and his family go through their own morning routines and set out to a bustling market. In this ingenious, wordless picture book, readers are invited to compare, page by page, the activities and surroundings of children in two different cultures. Their lives may at first seem quite unalike, but a closer look reveals that there are many things, some unexpected, that connect…

As
I waited in the Lord's Presence, I saw the nation of New Zealand. I saw into
the heavenlies above it, and I saw a very ancient gate that had been closed a
very long time. It was very old, and had deep writing etched into it. I could
not read it, but I knew that this was part of its ancient heritage. I then saw
the gate open, and I heard the sound of wind blowing from behind the gate. A
very great wind then began to blow behind the gate, and then within the wind, I
heard voices. The voices of the generations were speaking into the earth again.
The Lord has opened an ancient gate so that the voices that are ordained to
release His sounds into New Zealand can now come forth. Itis time for the
Ancient Sounds to flow from heaven to transform nations and to release His
Kingdom into the ends of the earth. It has begun...
Later on, I asked the Lord if I could
go through that open gate, and He took me in. I walked through the gate into a
stone lined round tunnel, and on the other side was a great room, filled with
the Glory. Standing inside the room were 12 men all clothed in white, and they
had violent flames shooting up over their heads, and the same flames were burning
in their eyes, and those flames were also shooting out of their mouths. I was
so struck with fear that I shook as their words burned as they spoke them out
in the room, and the flames then rode upon the

Vulture is reporting that Sean Durkin, director of Martha Marcy May Marlene, is turning The Exorcist into a ten part television series. Yes, that Exorcist.
According to the article:
Unlike the iconic 1973 film, Durkin's version of The Exorcist follows the events leading up to a demonic possession and especially the after-effects of how a family copes with it: In short, not well… and when medical and psychiatric explanations fail, the desperate family turns to the church, with Father Damien Karras finally brought in to attempt the exorcism.
Which sounds like The Exorcist of the title won't be part of the show for most of its run, perhaps not even until the final episode. Finding out how they'll sustain a growing fear of demonic possession throughout

An internal fluid passage 13 is longitudinally formed along the central axis of the valve housing 10 with inlet and outlet openings 13a and 13b being provided at both ends of the passage 13. In such a case, the inlet opening 13a is formed in the first body 11, while the outlet opening 13b is formed in the second body 12. An annular guide groove 13c, having a concave surface, is formed on the passage 13 at a position inside the outlet opening 13b.
A cylindrical valve body 20, having an axial fluid passing opening 21, is axially and movably fitted in the passage 13 in a way such that the valve body 20 is reciprocablewithin a predetermined range in the axial direction of the valve housing 10. The above valve body 20 selectively closes the passage 13 at the first end 22 thereof when the valve body 20 is fully moved to the right in the drawings. That is, the first end 22 of the valve body 20 acts as a passage control means for opening or closing the passage 13 of the valve system. A flanged cylindrical disc 30, having two fluid passing holes 31 on its sidewall, is fixedly installed in the passage 13 at a position within the guide groove 13c. The reciprocable valve body 20 selectively comes into close contact with the flange of the disc 30 at the first end 22 when the valve body 20 is

fully moved to the right in the drawings, thus closing the passage 13.
An annular pressure actuated flange 25 is exteriorly and fixedly formed on the valve body 20. The above flange 25 formes first and second air pressure chambers 15a and 15b within the valve housing 10 at opposite sides thereof while sealing the junction between the two variable chambers 15a and 15b. The first chamber 15a is provided with a first air injection port 16a, through which pneumatic pressure, or external air pressure, is injected into the chamber 15a so as to open the passage 13. The second chamber 15b is provided with a second air injection port 16b, through which external air pressure is injected into the chamber 15b so as to close the passage 13.
Aand the disc 30. The fluid, thereafter, passes through the fluid passing holes 31 of the disc 30 prior to being discharged from the passage 13 through the outlet opening 13b.
When it is necessary to close the passage 13 of the valve system, external air pressure is injected into the second chamber 15b through the port 16b, thus acting on the left-side surface of the flange 25. The valve body 20 is thus moved toward the fluid outlet opening 13b, and so the first end 22 of the valve body 20 comes into close contact with the disc 30. Therefore, the internal fluid passage 13 of the system is completely closed as shown in FIG. 2.
When the passage 13 is closed as described above, fluid, introduced into

The district court granted summary judgment for O'Malley and Weston, Hurd, dismissing Nix's three claims. We affirm the district court's disposition of counts two and three, which alleged violations of Ohio's Corrupt Activities Act and which accused Weston, Hurd of legal malpractice. We reverse the grant of summary judgment on Nix's first count, insofar as the district court disposed of Nix's claim that O'Malley and Weston, Hurd violated Ohio's wiretap laws when they publicly disclosed certain contents of the intercepted communications.
I. Background

This case stems from a neighborhood dispute over plans to develop a vacant lot on Brookside Drive in Cleveland. In August 1993, John H. Nix moved into the home of Dr. John Master. Master, an elderly widower, lived on Brookside Drive, located ina relatively affluent neighborhood. Nix's girlfriend, Rebekah Deamon, who worked in Master's home, had introduced the two men, who soon formed a partnership to build homes on nearby undeveloped land owned by Master. The proposed development upset some neighborhood residents who opposed further construction and feared that Nix was taking advantage of the aged doctor.
3
In November 1993, Nix approached Patrick J. O'Malley, an attorney and Cleveland City Councilman whose ward included Brookside Drive. Nix sought O'Malley's support of a tax abatement for the development, but O'Malley declined, explaining that he favored abatements only for economically distressed areas. Soon after this discussion, two Brookside Drive residents contacted O'Malley about Master and the development. Jack G. Sword asserted that Master had previously promised the undeveloped

custody, police alleged the gun
smuggling was part of the broader terrorist conspiracy. That, however,
is no longer the case, with the staying of the charge.
Previously, some of the young offenders in the case had been given
similar deals, but this is the first time any of the adult accused have
had the charges against them all but dropped. After 12 months, the peace
bond expires and it as though the three suspects were never charged.
The main conditions attached to the peace bonds include a curfew from
8 p.m. to 6 a.m. every day, with exceptions for work, school and other
situations. The men must also relinquish their passports, put up $10,000
bonds and agree to refrain from talking to any of the remaining accused.
In the two years since the terrorism arrests, the Crown has stayed
chargesagainst all but one of the young offenders, abruptly halted a
preliminary hearing for the adult suspects in favour of going directly
to trial, and now has stayed charges against four of the adults.
All three of the suspects who signed peace bonds in Brampton Tuesday
morning admitted to attending or stopping by the camp, which ran from
Dec. 18 to 31, 2005. But all disagreed with the Crown assessment that it
was a jihadist exercise, at least as far as they were concerned. The
Crown and defence have now essentially agreed to disagree on the nature
of the camp, and, given the peripheral role of the three accused in the
camp, it was not felt to be worth going to trial.
Two of the three suspects were always believed to have been on the
periphery of the case.

United States is considered by many to be the leader of the free world, and the United States itself considered to be a beacon of democracy. So it is profoundly disappointing to see the United States administration endorsing and encouraging something that is fundamentally undemocratic. I would like to ask you the following questions.
Would it be acceptable to you and your fellow United States citizens that over 70% of the laws and regulations they were forced to comply with across all 50 states were created by a supranational government comprising layers of complex political and judicial structures, mostly unelected and unaccountable, and made up of delegates from not only the US, but Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Belize, El Salvador, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela and Peru?
Would it be acceptable toyou, your fellow United States citizens and members of the Senate and House of Representatives that they were routinely handed diktats from the various bodies that make up the supranational government and were bound by law to implement the directives or be fined or dragged into a supranational court operating an alien form of judicial code and process? Further, that Congress was denied the ability to draft, and the President sign into law, other legislation of national interest whenever the supranational decided it was not appropriate?
Would it be acceptable to you, your fellow United States citizens and the Justices of the Supreme Court that decisions made by the bench, the highest court in your land, could be appealed to a supranational court overseas with the hearing presided over

on gay marriage. This pastor was chosen because of his outstanding work on opposing human trafficking.
An excellent article up to the point Obama is a collectivist and is leading the US nation down the same path as the EU is leading the member states, and the UN is attempting to lead the World.
With the exception of Eisenhower, all presidents since 1945 have largely chosen their team from the ranks of the Trilateral Commission and and the Council on Foreign Relations. And between these two groups their is apparently a 50% overlap of members. The net result is that regardless of which party is voted in you get the same players behind the scenes running the show.
When the overlap & relationships between these two bodies, global corporations and the12 banks that own the Federal Reserve is understood, who runs the US becomes clear. The US power players funded and supported the creation of the EEC post 1945, against the wishes of the people of Europe who had just fought and lost heavily in the fight against non-democratically imposed central control, because it was in their interest. They also directly support the set up of the USSR as is was felt it would be easier to control as one market. An understanding of the NeoCon Munroe Doctrine will clarify this further. Obama is their current figurehead, no more no less. Romney would have picked up the same baton if elected.
This is the mirror image of the farce we have in Europe where all main parties are pro-EU

Mathematical Foundations of Programming Semantics
Beschreibung
Beschreibung
This volume is the proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on the Mathematical Foundations of Programming Semantics, held in New Orleans in April 1993. The focus of the conference series is the semantics of programming languages and the mathematics which supports the study of the semantics. The semantics is basically denotation. The mathematics may be classified as category theory, lattice theory, or logic. Recent conferences and workshops have increasingly emphasized applications of the semantics and mathematics. The study of the semantics develops with the mathematics and the mathematics is inspired by the applications in semantics. The volume presents current research in denotational semantics and applications of category theory, logic, and lattice theory to semantics.

IN BRIEF
Drawings of fish and a recurrent dream of an evil mermaid hypnotizing his parents provided great clues to an unusual homeopathic remedy for a young boy with speech delay, possible learning differences and memory concerns. Children's drawings and dreams can be very helpful for a homeopath.
IN BRIEF
A man in his 30s develops pain, numbness and tingling in his extremities within days of receiving a DTaP shot. He is quite possibly on his way to a full-blown case of Guillain-Barre Syndrome when a homeopathic remedy nips it in the bud.
IN BRIEF
A four-year-old boy withtics, pronounced incurable by a neurologist, is helped with a homeopathic remedy for frights. The tics may have been connected to several frights his mother had while pregnant.
IN BRIEF
A 12-year-old boy with suspected ADD and a history of sleep-walking and night-sweats for many years is completely relieved with a remedy made from the chickenpox vaccine. The vaccine may have accidentally caused a chronic, low-grade infection in him.

other than C.S. Lewis's stepson, Douglas Gresham, trustee and director of Lewis's estate.
One of the few liberties that the film has taken with the story has been to expand the very beginning of the story to provide viewers with more background about why the four Pevensie children - Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy - have been sent from World War II London to the countryside.
Bombing of London
The film's opening credits appear against a backdrop of slow-moving grey clouds before squadrons of German bombers fill the screen and rain their bombs down on London.
The scene cuts to a home below where the Pevensie parents hustle their children into the safety of an air-raid shelter while the surrounding buildings are rocked by explosions.
This is a clever introduction: Churchill's Britain standingdefiant against all the evil that Hitler's Third Reich can hurl against it - a struggle of light against darkness which is mirrored by a parallel struggle in the enchanted realm where the Pevensie children later have their main adventures.
The four Pevensies, like many children from wartime London, are sent to the country for their safety. They arrive at a big, mysterious old country house, owned by a kindly professor and managed by his sharp-tongued housekeeper.
The children, by the way, are no angels; they are utterly authentic. At heart they are loyal to each other, but they tend to be quarrelsome, with sibling rivalry particularly obvious between the oldest, Peter, and the resentful middle child, Edmund.
During a game of hide-and-seek, the youngest Penvensie, Lucy, stumbles through an enchanted

the changes made in the partial Settlement Agreement were never briefed or fully explored before the Court, even though some of them were advocated for by the government and other parties in the individual briefs filed during the lengthy process of briefing and mediation. The development of an appropriate remedy in this case is particularly complex given the vital interests that are at stake. The Court is mindful, not only of the importance of protecting the New England groundfish species, but also of the very real impact any regulation has on those individuals and communities that depend, and have depended for generations, on such fishing. The experience of the litigants, the public, and the Court during these last three months of intense work on development of a remedialAgreement Among Certain Parties; and it is

banjo was reported in the Americas. Africans in the US were the predominant players of this instrument until the 1840s.
Charleston Slave Tags and Slave Badges
Badge laws existed in several Southern cities, urban centers such as Mobile and New Orleans, Savannah and Norfolk; the practice of hiring out slaves was common in both the rural and urban South. But the only city known to have implemented a rigid and formal regulatory system is Charleston.
MANILLA: MONEY OF THE SLAVE TRADE
Manilla. Manillas were brass bracelet-shaped objects used by Europeans in trade with West Africa, from about the 16th century to the 1930s. They were made in Europe, perhaps based on an African original.Once Bristol entered the African trade, manillas were made locally for export to West Africa.
SLAVE CURRENCY: African Slave TradeBeads
In Africa, trade beads were used in West Africa by Europeans who got them from Venice, Holland, and Bohemia. They used millions of beads to trade with Africans for slaves, services, and goods such as palm oil, gold, and ivory. The trade with Africans was so vital that some of the beads were made specifically for Africans.
Slave Trade Currency: Cowry Shells
Long before our era the cowry shell was known as an instrument of payment and a symbol of wealth and power. This monetary usage continued until the 20th century. If we look a bit closer into these shells it is absolutely not astonishing that varieties as the cypraea moneta or cypraea annulus were beloved means of payments and eventually became in some cases huge competitors of metal currencies.

Stick him in a Ford, hand him a glass of wine, and have him haunt a few coffee shops and bars and he was city through and through. Part of the appeal of Cliff Hardy is that he has always been as hard to pin down - age / background / look and feel, as he has been instantly recognisable.
But forty-two books later, Cliff is flagging a little, but game as always, and Peter Corris has pulled the plug, battling a few health problems of his own. So reading WIN, LOSE OR DRAW is one of those jarring moments no matterprivate investigator corner of the crime genre and made it uniquely Australian. Still going now after 33 years, gumshoe and Sydney icon Cliff Hardy is back in action for the forty-second time in Win, Lose or Draw.
Hardy is hired by Gerard Fonteyn, a wealthy businessman, to find his daughter Julianna. Julianna has been missing for over a year and there is little prospect that she will actually be found. Hardy does some digging and agrees with this assessment. But months later a photo of someone who could be Julianna comes to light on Norfolk Island and Hardy is off. Very soon the search becomes extremely complicated involving drugs, under-age prostitution, murder, corrupt police and dodgy investigators. All in all, a typical Hardy scenario.

Scientists are planning to build a massive type of new power generator in south-western Arizona, which relies on evaporative cooling to create wind. It should deliver enough energy to power a medium to large city with no negative environmental impact.
The downdraft energy tower relies on the principle that cool air will sink while hot air rises. At the top of the tower, mist will be sprayed so that passing air is cooled, causing it to sink rapidly. The air then escapes at the bottom of the tower by passing through hundreds of wind turbines, generating power.
The overall efficiency of this process is around 45%, and these losses result from the need to pump cooling water to the top of the tower as well as other thermal losses. Theinternational success came at the 1986 European Athletics Championships, where he equalled his personal best in the high jump final to take the silver medal behind Soviet team mate Igor Paklin. The following year he was selected to represent the Soviet Union at the 1987 World Championships in Athletics but, after qualifying for the final he failed to register a height. The two other Soviets in the competition, Paklin and Hennadiy Avdyeyenko, reached the medal podium.
Following this setback, he went on to clear the greatest heights of his career. At the beginning of the 1988 indoor season he jumped in Moscow and took his first national title at the Soviet Indoor Athletics Championships.

But the everyday holiday-maker is welcomed here as well, along with a variety of tourists from all over the globe.
Local visitors often come to Lake Starnberg to enjoy the public swimming area at the village of Kempfenhausen, just one mile east of the town of Starnberg. Visitors may choose to vacation very reasonably at a camping platziert located near the shore, or choose a holiday flat or apartment and utilize the public beaches. Access from Munich by train is very easy, lending itself to a week-end or longer holiday. The train takes visitors to the docks to board a lake cruiser for a day touring the lake. Other visitors come to stay at resort hotels or a private rental gasthaus. The more affluent may bring the yacht withthem or leave it here year-round in a private berth either at their villa or one of the marinas. But even the visitor on a tight budget can rent a sailboat, row boat or paddle-boat. Private combustion engine boats are not allowed on the lake, but the touring boats are plentiful and very convenient for holiday-makers to get around.
Towns by the lake include Starnberg in the north, Seeshaupt in the south, and Tutzing in the west. Most visitors stop at Starnberg to visit the upscale shops selling traditional lederhosen and dirndls. Cycling paths encircle the entire 30 miles of shoreline, and bicycle rentals are plentiful. Canoeing, kayaking, sailing and wind-surfing are favorite pastimes as is fishing. Anglers here pursue pike, perch, trout, whitling, carp, zander, bream, eel and

and the Bavarian Culture. The lake holds only one island, Roseninsel or Rose Island. Its major inflow comes from a chain of small lakes in the south. This small river is called Ach or Ostersee-Ach. The only outlet is the Wurm River, lending its name to the lake originally. King Ludwig II often met his cousin, the Empress Elizabeth here at the island villa known as the 'Casino'. Ludwig had over 950 roses planted in the rose gardens. The island is accessible by boat during the summer months. Much of the history of the Bavarian monarchy is centered around Lake Starnberg, including the death of the deposed King Ludwig II at Berg. A cross stands in the water where his body was found below the chapel. Elisabeth, daughterto Duke Max of Bavaria, grew up in Possenhofen castle on the banks of Lake Starnberg. The tragic story of Ludwig's death is still a matter of conjecture, and the date of his death is still memorialized. The Empress Elizabeth Museum is open to visitors as is the chapel at Berg.
Other museums around Lake Starnberg include the Lake Starnberg Museum, where the remnants of the Bavarian Royal Fleet that once sailed the lake are housed. The Buchheim Museum showcases a fabulous exhibition of expressionist art. The Museum of Fantasy is located behind by the Bernried ferry stop and contains enchanted pools, pagodas and park lands. A variety of annual festivals celebrate the Bavarian culture and not surprisingly, many of them involve music. Ludwig was a patron of the

composer, Richard Wagner; it has been said that Richard Wagner's late career is part of Ludwig's legacy, since he almost certainly would have been unable to complete his opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen or to write his final opera, Parsifal, without the king's support. The Rose Island Serenades schedule concerts during the summer months, and the annual Starnberger Music Days are one of Europe's most famed musical events.
Vacation rentals can usually be found around Lake Starnberg, but reservations may be necessary, particularly around holidays. Real estate is often available in the villages along the shore, with some lakefront property occasionally on the market. A visit to Lake Starnberg is the crowning touch for any European trip. So come and see Starnberg - it will become a partend coupled to the choke opening and closing mechanism and the proximal end attached to an escape hole formed in the rotating member. While the rotating member rotates from the first rotational position to the second rotational position in this working machine, only the proximal end of the transmission member moves inside the escape hole, and the entire transmission member does not move. On the other hand, while the rotating member rotates from the second rotational position to the third rotational position, the movement of the proximal end of the transmission member inside the escape hole is regulated and the transmission member moves in the longitudinal direction, thereby activating the choke opening and closing mechanism so as to close a choke valve.

and struck him. The accident occurred while Hale was inflating a tubed tire mounted on the outer dual wheel on his 1968 Ford F-600 ten-wheeler3 truck.
3
At the time of the accident, Hale, thirty-one years old and a college graduate, was involved in several enterprises, including the ownership and operation of a trucking company that hauled commodities and the operation of garages that repaired tires. Hale and his companies operated a fleet of approximately twenty vehicles.
4
On the day of the accident, Hale and his friend, Eddie Leavall, drove Hale's 1968 Ford F-600 truck and a pick-up truck with an attached gooseneck trailer from Hale's place of business in Sheldon, Missouri, to Berryville, Arkansas, to pick up a load of fire-damaged fertilizer. Hale planned to sell thefertilizer to Jack McCormick, a farmer near Reeds, Missouri. The overall trip was approximately 250 miles. At Berryville Hale and Leavall loaded the trucks with fertilizer and headed for the McCormick farm. En route Hale noticed that one of the tires on the Ford truck was leaking air. After an attendant at a service station stated that he was unable to repair the tire, Hale added air to the tire.
5
When Hale arrived after dark at the McCormick farm, McCormick was not home. Hale received permission to park the vehicles in a quonset hut overnight. He first drove the pick-up truck into the hut and unhitched the trailer. Hale testified that before driving the Ford truck into the hut, he noticed that

YWA was responsible for the land development, including off-site improvements such as the water and sewer systems, and Interwest was responsible for the construction and sale of the condominiums.
In January 1972, Doubt presented the proposed map and summarized the condominium project for the Mariposa County Planning Commission. The planning commission unanimously rejected the project based upon the advice of two county engineers that the existing water and sewer systems in the Yosemite West Maintenance District that were designed to meet the needs of the homeowners in Unit #1 would not be adequate to meet theadditional needs of the condominium project. This decision was appealed to the Mariposa County Board of Supervisors who approved the project based upon promises by YWA that several conditions would be met before the condominiums were sold. These promises were embodied in the February 1973 agreement between YWA, Interwest and the County. First, 10 acres were to be dedicated to the County to be used by the Maintenance District for sewer plant expansion. Second, YWA would develop a well that would provide 100 gallons of potable water per minute to be proven and tested to county standards. Third, all necessary parts of the water and sewer systems were to be dedicated to the County within 12 months of the date of the agreement. Until the 100-gallons per minute

hit near triple-digits in a short-relief
role and has the power breaking stuff to work well, should
the Rangers decide ultimately that's the place for him.
3. Jurickson Profar, SS: Just 18, Profar is ready to
hit the full-season South Atlantic League after performing
well as one of the youngest players in the short-season
Northwest League last year. He looks up to current Rangers
shortstop Elvis Andrus and has some of the same skills, both
in terms of defensive ability and makeup. He won't be pushing
for Andrus' job soon, but the Rangers should have a nice
problem on their hands in a few years.
4. Engel Beltre, OF: The 21-year-old is the epitome
of the toolsy center fielder, with the potential to
do everything well on the field. His defense in center is a
plus, both in terms of range andarm. His outstanding speed
helps him on both sides of the ball and he'll become a more
dangerous runner as he learns the nuances of that part of
the game. He should hit for average and at least some power
as he continues to mature.
WHEN WILL THEY ARRIVE?
5. Robbie Erlin, LHP: While Erlin may not wow you
with plus stuff or overwhelming size, he can flat-out pitch.
He led the South Atlantic League in ERA last year as a
teenager and walked just 17 all season. He mixes his
fastball, curve and changeup very well and keeps hitters
off-balance. He goes right after hitters, with his
pitchability and competitiveness allowing his stuff to play
up. It will be interesting to see how he adjusts as he moves
up the ladder to face more advanced hitters.

This next chart above is a weekly view of the Dow industrials in which each bar represents each week going back five years.
Very simply, the Dow's five-year chart isn't looking good.
That's because, with its recent downdraft, the prospect of a bearish head-and-shoulders top has come into play.
The head-and-shoulders is among the more reliable reversal patterns, and it would be resolved with a violation of its neckline, in the 11,750 area.
Notably, the Dow's 2008 closing low came in at 11,740, closely matching that 11,750 target.
That means at Monday's close of 11,842, the Dow stood about 100 points from treacherous technical territory.
A close under 11,740 would not only mark its worst finish this year, but would also coincide with a significant technical failure.
So looking ahead, the next severalFuture Fund head Mark Burgess is leaving the $89 billion fund to return to the private sector. Mr Burgess revealed on Wednesday that he will leave later this year when a replacement is found. He has not revealed what he intends to do after he steps down, apart from indicating it is likely to be a role in financial services.

at a birthday party for a son of the insured at the home of a friend, a gun in the hand of the son fired, hitting a guest in the arm. In early April 1985, the injured party called the insured stating that his medical insurance coverage was running out and wondered if the insured had any coverage that would be beneficial to him. The insured apparently informed the injured party of the existence of his policy and, within a few days the injured party had a complaint on file against the son, who was served with summons on February 23, 1985. Two days later, the insured informed her insurer of the service of the summons.
The Roseth court held that the insured and the injured party were entitledA method for exposing primates to marihuana smoke that stimulates the method used by human marihuana smokers.
A method was developed for exposing rhesus monkeys to marihuana smoke under conditions simulating those used by human marihuana smokers. An ADL II smoking machine was used to generate puffs of smoke of constant volume from marihuana or placebo cigarettes at a constant rate. The outlet of the smoking machine was connected by Tygon tubing to an airtight face mask covering the monkey's nose and mouth. The monkey was seated in an airtight Plexiglas chamber with only its head protruding. When a puff of smoke was generated, a vacuum was imposed on the chamber causing the monkey to inhale deeply and hold its breath. After 6 seconds, the vacuum was removed and

new Gallup Poll shows wild fluctuations in Democrats and Republicans' assessment of Chief Justice John Roberts since their last poll in 2005, a change Gallup attributes to his role in upholding the Affordable Care Act. Roberts' approval rating among Republicans has plummeted 40 percentage points from 2005, falling from 67% to 27%. In contrast, his favorability among Democrats has risen from 35% to 54%. That the healthcare decision is a catalyst of this change is supported by a PEW Research Center poll last week showing that between April and July, approval of the Supreme Court dropped 18 points among Republicans and rose 12% among Democrats.
Yes, John Roberts upheld the ACA, but only as a tax. At the same time, he agreed with his four far right compatriots thatit fell outside the authority granted Congress by the Commerce Clause, leaving many observers concerned that he has set traps designed to let the Court later strike down congressional legislation that should in no way be considered constitutionally suspect. He also joined the majority that restricted Congress's constitutional authority under the Spending Clause to define the contours of state programs financed with federal funds.
Just as importantly, Roberts's upholding the ACA does not erase the past seven years, during which he has repeatedly been part of thin conservative majority decisions bending the law beyond recognition in order to achieve a right wing political result. John Roberts cast the deciding vote in a number of disastrous decisions, including those that:

Chelsea's European know-how could help them pip Manchester City to the Premier League title
When Chelsea best Maribor 6-0 on Tuesday evening, they did more than break their record for their highest ever win margin in a Champions League game.
They sent out a clear message that they are the biggest threat from the Premier League to the rest of their continental rivals.
Detractors will almost immediately point to the quality of the opposition, but Chelsea can only play what's in front of them, and Maribor, who beat Celtic to qualify for the Champions League, are certainly not a poor side.
The gulf in class between the sides was obvious yes, but it was nowhere near the same as the gap between England and their recent opponents San Marino, who were onlybeaten 5-0 with all their men behind the ball for the entire match.
Maribor tried to stand up to Chelsea, and were rightly punished, but their character for trying to do so, even after three or four goals had gone against them, is to be commended. They could have even got on the scoresheet were it not for a penalty hitting to wrong side of the post.
Chelsea's emphatic win helped contribute to a record amount of goals for a Champions League night with eight games played, and Chelsea's result was perhaps overshadowed by Bayern Munich's stunning 7-1 demolition of Roma.
But Munich, as one of the favourites to win the competition, are the calibre of sides that Chelsea must measure themselves by.
Whilst Munich were away from home against much better

opposition, Chelsea will still feel that they have a significant impression on the likes of Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona etc.
For Manchester City, European success seems to be more elusive by the match. Their trip to CSKA Moscow was a stepping block they couldn't afford to stumble on, but they managed to fall to the sound of silence.
The empty stadium, a punishment from UEFA for the Russian champions' fans racist actions in previous matches, gave the match a feel of a training game, even though the few hundred 'sponsors' UEFA invited did seem to be vocally supporting the home side.
And when City raced into a 2-0 lead by half time, it seemed that they were in for a exhibition scoreline, such was their dominance of the home side.
But whateverthe reason, be it the freezing temperatures, the lack of away fans, or any fans at all, City conspired to throw their two goal lead away in what could prove to be their most decisive fixture of their Champions League campaign.
Some supporters might again grind their axes about the co-efficiency system going against them, after all, this is the third time they have been in the same group as Bayern Munich, and the one time they weren't they were alongside Real Madrid and Dortmund.
But the fact remains they were playing against a side, under strange circumstances yes, who City, with their financial backing and drive, should be beating.
City have managed to cement themselves as nailed on title contenders in the Premier League, with two titles in the pat

for contemplated expansion of the company's manufacturing business. *126 The rent of $15,000 per year then being paid would exceed the $70,000 cost of the property within five years. Rental of the basement to the warehouse company then in occupancy thereof would cover tax and maintenance expenses. Larrecq went on to explain the corporation's cash status and anticipated increases therein, and suggested that the purchase would protect the company's capital position without embarrassing its cash position, would give it greater financial flexibility, and after five years would result in a large annual saving.
Both banks, however, felt that the purchase would too greatly attenuate PGI's cash reserves, and they refused to approve the sale. Mr. Rice of the Trenton Trust Company then suggested to Larrecq that he personally buythe building and stated that the bank would give him the required mortgage loan. Rice suggested that at the proposed selling price it would be a good investment for Larrecq. He noted that PGI had made improvements to the building, built a parking lot and made alterations, and that the building contained room for the corporation to expand. He also commented to Larrecq about possible adverse effects to the corporation should the building pass into adverse hands.
Shortly thereafter, Larrecq, who directly or indirectly owned 87.6% of PGI stock and was its principal executive officer, did purchase the property in his own name. On August 3, 1956 he borrowed $5,000 from the corporation for a down payment, and, in September 1956, an additional $10,000 for closing fees, etc. He

alleges that his constitutional rights were violated by the State's failure to process certain glass window fragments for fingerprints.
The evidence produced by the State at the trial tended strongly to prove defendant's guilt. Defendant called no witnesses *607 at the trial, nor did he testify in his own behalf. Patrolman Raymond Martinez testified that on October 20, 1973, at approximately 3:30 a.m. at Winslow, Arizona, he observed the defendant coming out of a broken window of Bruchman's Curio store; that he knew the defendant and had known him for some 20 years; and that the defendant looked straight at him and ran down an alley. Officer Martinez also testified that the area around the burglary was well lighted.
Officer Sterling Norgaard of the Winslow Police testified that he sawthe defendant shortly after the burglary approximately three blocks from the scene. Another witness testified that she saw a man jump out of the window of the Curio store and run down an alley at approximately the time of the burglary. She described his clothing which description matched that provided by Officer Norgaard.
The Winslow Police had taken certain glass samples from the broken window of the Curio shop for possible fingerprint analysis. Before trial, counsel for the defendant had been told that this glass had been sent to the Department of Public Safety Laboratory for fingerprint analysis. However, subsequently at trial the investigating officer testified that none of the glass had been sent away for analysis for the reason that his Chief of Police, Walter Maule, had examined

2005 GUEST SPEAKER - MARK LAMPING
Mark Lamping was named president of the Cardinals on Sept. 1, 1994, succeeding Stuart Meyer. He signed a three-year contract extension last year that takes him through the 2006 season.
During his tenure the Cardinals won divisional championships in 1996, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2004, and last season St. Louis won the National League pennant. The Cardinals lost four straight to Boston in the World Series.
In addition to managing the club's business and facility operations, the 46-year-old Lamping also has led St. Louis' new ballpark initiative. The new park, under construction next to the current Busch Memorial Stadium, is expected to be ready in time for the 2006 season.
Lamping graduated from St. Louis Vianney High School and earned a soccerscholarship to Rockhurst College in Kansas City. An injury ended his playing career, but he returned to the area and earned a Masters in Business Administration from St. Louis University.
He was hired by Anheuser-Busch and worked in various corporate planning, sales, and training positions for eight years before moving into sports marketing in 1989. He was involved in TV and radio sports production, including sponsorship of events.
In early 1994, he was named president of the Continental Basketball Association, and the despite the fact the league didn't have a franchise in St. Louis the CBA moved its headquarters to the city. But after serving less than a year as the CBA's leader, he got the chance to take over the Cardinals. He arrived just in time for the last

was 1963.
His first managerial job came with the Texas Rangers in 1973. He left Texas to become a coach with the California Angels, and in 1975 he was named manager of the Kansas City Royals. The Royals never finished worse than second place during Herzog's four-plus seasons in Kansas City, winning divisional titles in 1976, '77 and '78. He was dismissed after Kansas City finished second in the American League West in 1979.
Herzog replaced Ken Boyer as St. Louis manager on June 9, 1980, and the Cardinals went 38-35 the rest of the way. Before the start of the 1981 season, he added general manager duties, and among his many moves were acquiring Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith in a trade with San Diego and relief pitcher BruceSutter in a trade with the Cubs.
The 1981 Cardinals went 59-43 and had the best overall record in the National League, but because of a players' strike the season was split into halves, and the Cardinals finished second in both halves and didn't qualify for postseason play.
But in 1982, St. Louis won 92 games and the National League East title, beat Atlanta in the N.L. Championship Series and then beat the Milwaukee Brewers for St. Louis' first World Series title since 1967.
In 1985, Herzog's Cardinals won 101 games but lost in a seven-game World Series to Kansas City. Two years later, St. Louis went 95-67 and again lost in a seven-game World Series, this time to Minnesota.

After all those years, he was finally coming home. He promptly accepted the job and dropped down to his knees and gave thanks. Bob is now the Community Relations Director for his former team, the Chicago Bulls. Bob was a new man.

1997 GUEST SPEAKER - ROCKY BLEIER
ROCKY BLEIER was not very big and not very fast, but he was an incredibly determined athlete when the Steelers picked him late in the 1968 draft. Before he could prove himself as a rookie, he was drafted again - this time, for combat duty in Vietnam.
A few months later, crippled by enemy rifle fire and grenade wounds in both legs, Bleier faced his biggest challenge. He could barely walk...he certainly couldn't run. To ever play professional football seemed impossible.
But Rocky Bleier did the impossible. The story of Bleier's agonizing two year battle to overcome his injuries and return to the Pittsburgh Steelers is described in the book Fighting Back, and recreated in the 1980 ABC-TV movie of

the same name. The rest of his exciting 12-year career is history...how he pressed on to become on of the Steelers' top leading ground gainers...how he passed the 1,000 yard rushing mark in one season...how he contributed to four Super Bowl victories...how he consistently made the big play during important games with uncanny predictability.
Bleier's ability to inspire effort and commitment from others continues. Rocky Bleier has been active in the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and the International Special Olympics. As a board member of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, he helped make possible the erection of the Washington, DC Memorial.
Bleier's special qualities have been recognized by colleagues as well as others who have honored him with awards too numerous to list in detail. Among them are the WhizzerWhite Humanitarian Award, the Vince Lombardi Award, the Most Courageous Athlete of the Decade Award. He was also chosen as on of the Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Year by the U.S. Jaycees.
1996 GUEST SPEAKER - RON SANTO
RON SANTO, 3B - An immensely popular Chicago area player, Santo gave Cubs fans nine All-Star seasons, scoring 1,138 runs on 365 doubles and 342 home runs. His RBI total is one of the highest for players who are not in the Hall of Fame. Santo's best overall season was 1964, when he hit .313 with 30 homers, 114 RBI, and a league-leading 13 triples. He followed with three more seasons of more than 30 home runs. Santo topped 100 RBI four times, and led the NL in walks four

times. His on-base percentage was twice the best in the league.
Santo batted .312 in 1966, hitting in 28 consecutive games. The next year he set a record with 393 assists at the hot corner. An excellent fielder, he won five Gold Glove Awards, 1964-1968. Santo led NL third basemen in putouts and assists seven times, and double playes four times.
An emotional player, Santo was the cheerleader for the 1969 Cubs during their run at the pennant. His post-game heel-clicking victory dance became a symbol in Chicago. Ron is currently the Cubs radio broadcaster.
LOU BROCK - The man who revolutionized stealing bases, Brock was selected to the Hall of Fame the first year he became eligible in 1985 after spending 19 seasons in the major leagues with the ChicagoCubs and S. Louis Cardinals. He's No. 2 on baseball's all-time stolen base list with 10,332. He set major league records for stealing 30 or more bases 12 consecutive seasons; most season 50 or more stolen bases, 12; and most season leading the major leagues in stolen bases, six.
Brock signed with the Cubs in 1961 for a $30,000 bonus, and after leading the Northern League in total bases, hits, runs, doubles and batting, he got into four games with the Cubs in 1961. He was in the majors to stay in 1962, and on June 15, 1964, he was traded to St. Louis in exchange for pitcher Ernie Broglio in what many feel was the most one-sided trade in professional baseball history. He batted .348 with 33 stolen

last 25 years. He was also chosen to play on five All-Star Teams, an enviable honor for Major League players. But, statistics really don't measure Piersall's full force on baseball, for Jimmy was one of baseball's most vivacious personalities.
Presently a popular after-dinner speaker, Piersall speaks insightfully on a multitude of subjects. Jimmy's an energetic, opinionated individual who rarely refrains from saying what he thinks, which makes him a sought after speaker.
Piersall converses freely about a lost year in his life -1952. The season started with Boston, then Birmingham in the Southern Association, and ended in a Massachusetts mental home. that season was a complete blank to him. His season was a mixture of base hits, and astounding catches with constant fights with players, umpires and fans. Subsequently, Jimmywrote a book on the subject, Fear Strikes Out, which was eventually made into a feature length movie. His recovery being complete, Piersall is a much sought speaker on mental health. When he played for Boston again, Jimmy became a phenomenon with his sharp defensive play. His comeback is one of the most encouraging events in sports' history.
Jimmy Piersall's career has been an inter joining of sports and community affairs. He's a vibrant and humorous speaker with speaking experience at sports' events, banquets, high schools and colleges. The various subjects range from baseball and sports to smoking, drinking, drugs and mental health. Piersall also likes holding baseball clinics for kids.

The sliding member D has an inner end extended to an inner side of the bracket B to couple with an anchor blade H which is movable transversely. The anchor blade H has a lug H1 on one side extended into the track flute E2 and another side formed in teeth to engage with a gear rack I located on a corresponding location. When the pulling member E is pulled upwards, the slant slots E1 urge the latch struts F to generate a sideward movement to drive the anchor blade, H moving in the transverse direction simultaneously. Theforce applying point of users might slip away and hinder operation. 3. The pulling member is located on the inner side of the latch struts and the anchor member.

from this subconscious hell was only achieved through self-realization and the understanding that his true strength came from within, proving his redemption from his fears. Upon this realization, Banner was guided to consciousness though the visage of his true love, Betty. This revelation, however, did not mean Banner gave up his quest to rid himself of the Hulk, but his mettle was tested time and again when he was promised a cure by those who were only trying to gain the power for themselves. Such was the case when a former physics professor of Banner's used an invention of his own design to replicate Banner's genetic code and siphon off enough gamma radiation to become the creature called Ravage.
Though never a team player, the Hulk joined forces withthe Dr. Strange, Master of the Mystic Arts, and Namor, the Atlantean Sub-Mariner, to defeat the techno-wizard Yandroth and his ultimate computer, the Omegatron. Thereafter, this loose-knit band of Defenders would unite periodically to oppose threats to humanity. The original Defenders reluctantly re-formed when Yandroth surfaced again to menace the world. Though the heroes defeated his plan, Yandroth used his sorcery to levy a deathbed curse upon their heads, binding them to come together in times of crisis.
After the events of the M-Day, Banner sought refuge and peace in Alaska, where he lived as a hermit loosely connected to the town community. He was eventually tracked down by Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D., who required his help in defeating the Hydra space weapon called the Godseye which could detonate

corrupt empire. The planet was situated near a portal, which gave it access to several different cultures and technologies. Weakened by his travel, Hulk was taken captive and sold into slavery and sent to the Great Arena to die in the games. After overcoming the first challenge set before him, Hulk was given the opportunity to be pardoned by the Red King, but instead he chose to attack him and was knocked out by the Red King when he became distracted. The Hulk soon joined several others in a group that would have to learn to fight together and, in result, they became Warbound. The Hulk and his team of misfit warriors overcame the challenges set before them and became known as great warriors throughout the planet, inspiringmany to rebel against the Red King.
Soon thereafter, Hulk and his team were forced to fight a captured Silver Surfer who struck them fiercely. Hulk, angered by Silver Surfer's betrayal, attacked the Surfer and inadvertently released him from the disc implant embedded within him. Freed of the implant disc that kept him prisoner, the Surfer destroyed the rest of the implant discs embedded in the rest of the warriors. The Hulk declined the Silver Surfer's offer of transportation back to his world so as to finish things on Planet Sakaar. Hulk then stood with his freed Warbound companions against the tyrannous Red King.
After several hard fought battles, the evolution of Miek, and finally gaining the confidence of Caiera the Oldstrong, Hulk and the Warbound confronted the Red King.

With those few still loyal to him, the King in his Death's Head Armor did battle with Hulk. As he soon saw he was no match for the Green Scar, the Red King activated a rupture under the very surface of the planet. In an act of desperation, Hulk leaped into the molten earth and forced the splitting plates back to their proper assemblage, literally saving Sakaar. The Hulk gave the King a finishing blow, knocking him clear of the city walls. Finally, the Wildebots came upon the Red King and finished him off once and for all.
Hulk was proclaimed the Green King, and all those on Sakaar worshiped him and his Queen, Caiera. She told her king that she would bear him a child, and it seemedthat the Hulk's life of running and fighting was over. However, the Hulk was not destined for a happy ending as the ship that brought him to that world soon exploded, killing his wife and unborn child sending Banner into a rage like no other. He and his Warbound journeyed to Earth seeking revenge on the planet's heroes for their part in Sakkar's destruction. Once they arrived, the Hulk crushed Black Bolt on Attilan and took the city of New York as his battleground. Iron Man, Mister Fantastic and Doctor Strange all fell before the Hulk and his Warbound too. Even old sparring partners such as the X-Men as well as new threats like the Gamma Corps couldn't even slow the Hulk's rampage.
Hulk fitted his defeated foes with

anymore damage. On his journey, Banner ended up in Las Vegas where the Hulk had to team up with Sentry, Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight and even Brother Voodoo to quell a pack of Wendigos from devouring everyone inside a casino.
Grandmaster's Defenders
Collector's Offenders
Sometime later, the Grandmaster came to Hulk with a proposition: if Hulk chose to participate in a game and won, Grandmaster would bring his love, Jarella, back to life. Hulk agreed and was told he could pick a group of allies to aid him in the game. Hulk chose his former teammates in the Defenders: Namor, Silver Surfer, and Doctor Strange. When the time came to meet their opponents, the Collector appeared with the Hulk's nemesis, the Red Hulk, and his team: Baron Mordo, Terrax and Tigerbehemoths would ever clash again. The Red Hulk used his power to absorb radiation to drain Hulk dry, leaving Banner unable to ever transform into the Green Goliath again.
Banner was rescued by A-Bomb, and the two of them fled to the place where Rick used to cage Hulk for the night when Banner was first affected by the gamma bomb that changed his life forever. While in hiding, Norman Osborn got word of Banner's predicament and sent Ares to find out if the claims were true. Between A-Bomb's strength and Banner's brain, Ares was defeated. Bruce and Rick went their separate ways, leaving Bruce to start a new life without the burden of being the Hulk. His first stop: New York to trick Reed Richards and retrieve the

pounds. He threatened the victim verbally and with the use of a knife or sharp object. He penetrated the victim and performed oral sex on her.
Following the attack, it was found that light bulbs in the bathroom adjacent to the victim's bedroom had been removed and placed in the waste basket. Boot impressions were found in the cellar and in the yard. In addition, a small hunting knife was found in the yard.
The McLaughlin case involved an attack on Mrs. McLaughlin, 30 years old, in her home at approximately 7:00 a.m. on February 20, 1981. The assailant entered the home as Mrs. McLaughlin opened the front door to leave for work with her daughter. The assailant opened the door and pushed the victim back into the house. Theassailant forced the victim to the couch and told the daughter to go upstairs. His voice was deep and raspy and hard to understand. The assailant threatened the victim verbally and with a cold, thin, metal object. The assailant pulled the victim's coat over her head, attempting to hide his identity. He penetrated her and forced her to perform oral sex on him. The victim started to fight, there was a knock on the door, and the assailant fled. He wrestled with Officer Albright on the front lawn and then ran away.
Following the attack, it was found that the screen on a rear window of the house had been slit and entry attempted through the window. The globe on an outdoor light near the window was cracked and

the bulb unscrewed. Boot impressions were found on the victim's coat and in the yard. Leather gloves were found on the coffee table and a small *53 knife was found on the couch. The assailant's knit ski hat was found in the front yard.
The homes of the two victims were approximately five blocks apart. The tread of a pair of boots later taken from appellant's home was similar to the impressions found at each of the victims' homes.
Appellant identified the items found at Mrs. McLaughlin's home as his, and he gave a statement to the police implicating himself in the attack on Mrs. McLaughlin. Appellant was also identified by Mrs. McLaughlin as her assailant.
Mrs. Cooper did not see her assailant and did not identify appellant. In addition, appellantat the police station testified that although appellant appeared tired, he appeared coherent and rational. H.T. 256. Another officer who participated in the questioning testified that appellant did not appear intoxicated and that although he appeared tired, he was very coherent and alert. H.T. 303, 335-36. Finally, the District Attorney was present at the taping of the statement and he testified that appellant did not appear intoxicated. H.T. 411.
Prosecution witnesses testified, and appellant acknowledged, that he was offered soda, coffee and sandwiches during the course of the questioning. H.T. 269, 287, 445.
In addition, appellant was advised of his Miranda rights at three different times. Appellant was advised of his rights before being taken to the police station, and said he understood his rights and was willing to talk.

the trial court erred in allowing Mrs. McLaughlin to make an in-court identification of him because, he says, this identification was tainted by Mrs. McLaughlin having viewed him at the police station in suggestive circumstances.
It will be recalled that Mrs. McLaughlin was attacked at approximately 7:00 a.m. on February 20, 1981. That afternoon, a police officer requested that she go to the police station to identify some articles of evidence. Her brother drove her to the station; she was also accompanied by her sister. Upon arriving at the station, Mrs. McLaughlin asked what had been done with the man being held because she did not want to see him. She was told that he had been taken care of and not to worry. Mrs. McLaughlin was led upstairs,where she identified the articles. She was departing with her brother and sister when, through an open door at the end of the hallway, she saw appellant sitting at the end of a table. She immediately told her sister that he was her assailant. H.T. 22-27. The District Attorney testified that at approximately 1:30 p.m. Sergeant Peterson had called about bringing Mrs. McLaughlin to the station for a show-up, but that he had told the sergeant not to do this because it was not close enough to the crime. H.T. 407. Mrs. McLaughlin's sister testified that they were assured by a police officer that the assailant was not in the station. H.T. 70.

JERUSALEM - Jordanian King Abdullah II has complained of bovine odors coming from the Israeli side of the frontier along the countries' shared southern border, Israel's environment minister said Monday.
Speaking to Israel Radio, Gideon Ezra said the smells, from a livestock quarantine facility, were blown across the frontier toward the king's palace in the town of Aqaba, on the Red Sea next to the Israeli town of Eilat. Jordanian officials contacted Israel last week and requested the odors be neutralized, Ezra said.
That's King PS2 for you: never complains about Israeli policies, but gets indignant when an unsavory smell drifts over into his palace. It probably distracts him when he's playing Grand Theft Auto III.

him'.
In a statement carried by state media, General Kim Rak-gyom, who heads North Korea's rocket command, also said his country was 'about to take' military action near the US Pacific territory of Guam.
He said the North would finalise a plan by mid-August to fire four mid-range missiles hitting waters 19 to 25 miles away from the island.
The plan will then go to the commander in chief of North Korea's nuclear force and 'wait for his order,' Kim was quoted by KCNA as saying. He called it a 'historic enveloping fire at Guam.'
The statement only served to escalate tensions further in a week that has seen a barrage of threats from both sides. While nuclear confrontation still seems incredibly remote, the comments have sparked deep unease in the UnitedStates, Asia and beyond.
A day after evoking the use of overwhelming US military might, Trump touted America's atomic supremacy. From the New Jersey golf resort where he's vacationing, he tweeted that his first order as president was to 'renovate and modernise' an arsenal that is 'now far stronger and more powerful than ever before.'
It was a rare public flexing of America's nuclear might. Trump's boasting only added to the confusion over his administration's approach to dealing with North Korea's expanding nuclear capabilities on a day when his top national security aides wavered between messages of alarm and reassurance.
If Trump's goal with two days of tough talk was to scare North Korea, Kim, the commander, put that idea quickly to rest. He called Trump's rhetoric a 'load of nonsense'

'fire and fury like the world has never seen' compounded fears of an accident or misunderstanding leading the nuclear-armed nations into conflict.
This week, an official Japanese report and a classified US intelligence document, the latter reported by The Washington Post, combined to suggest the North was closer to being able to strike the United States with a nuclear missile than previously believed. The US document reportedly assessed that the North had mastered the ability to fit a nuclear warhead on its long-range missiles.
After North Korea issued its own warning that suggested it could attack Guam, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson sought to calm the sense of crisis.
Speaking earlier Wednesday on his way home from Asia, he credited Trump with sending a strong message to the North Korean leadera president to speak of using nuclear missiles, the reference to the 'destruction' of a foreign people is equally rare.
It was unclear, however, how serious to take all the war talk. Markets weren't rattled by the back-and-forth threats. Trump had no meetings on his schedule Wednesday. There were no indications from the Pentagon of urgent planning or new assets being hastily deployed to the Pacific region. And Tillerson even made a pre-scheduled refuelling stop in Guam, the target of the North's purported military designs.
Trump's alarmist tone sparked criticism among his political opponents in the United States and concern among allies and partners in Asia - the very nations the United States would need to work with to avert a military showdown with North Korea.

point. Insurrection must rely upon that turning-point in the history of the growing revolution when the activity of the advanced ranks of the people is at its height, and when the vacillations in the ranks of the enemy and in the ranks of the weak, half-hearted and irresolute friends of the revolution are strongest. That is the third point. And these three conditions for raising the question of insurrection distinguish Marxism from Blanquism.
Once these conditions exist, however, to refuse to treat insurrection as an art is a betrayal of Marxism and a betrayal of the revolution.
To show that it is precisely the present moment that the Party must recognise as the one in which the entire course of events has objectively placed insurrection on the order of theBatton Lash, creator of the Wolff & Byrd, Counselors of the Macabre comic and later known as Supernatural Law, passed away this morning at home with family and friends, after suffering from brain cancer.

compromise offers from the White House or the Republican Congressional leaders on paring some of the private sector role in the plan.
A less legitimate one would be a singular obsession with destroying the Trump presidency at all costs. Certainly the left-wing of the party would prefer the Democrats focus on Russiagate and stop the president at every turn.
The Democrats would be wiser to avoid the appearance of working only to undermine Trump at the expense of voters' priorities, starting with jobs. If they block this plan without going to the negotiating table, they run the risk of the American voters blaming them every time they hit a pothole on the road or suffer from flight delays.

Manchester United: Gathering Momentum As Always
It has been said on numerous occasions this season already that the wheels are not only falling off at United but apparently disintegrating.
The disastrous loss to the old enemy Leeds at Old Trafford and patchy form away from home, and also a home loss to Villa have left many wondering if Ferguson was finally losing his marbles.
In the background to all this has of course been the unrest amongst the fans who are well and truly sick of the lecherous ownership group who have plunged their club into its worst financial situation ever.
With demonstrations against the Glazers becoming the norm at Old Trafford, it was no surprise to see the signs out again decrying the U.S. owners and their style of ownership.
Luckily, forfans of the club, on the pitch things are not quite so bad. Fergie is quietly gearing his team up for another tilt at the title, in what would be an unprecedented fourth in a row, a feat that United were the only other team to have a chance at after their three in a row from 1999 to 2001.
The gnarly old Scot has responded to critics by getting his team into order and revitalizing their title challenge, with four wins in a row in the league.
They are at present the competition's form side and the manner in which they swept aside Portsmouth certainly befits a club which is challenging for the title with real verve and determination.
Wayne Rooney is, of course, at the forefront of this, continuing
