wikipedia_2018-704 | Although the Poles managed to contain and defeat the Russian cavalry , its charge and initial successes caused a widespread panic in Polish ranks . The garrison of Fort 72 abandoned its positions , leaving its guns behind , and retreated to Fort 73 without a fight . Likewise , the garrison of Fort 73 panicked , and its commanding officer , Col. <unk> , ordered his soldiers to block the guns , abandon the main rampart and assume defensive positions facing the back wall of the fort , expecting the Russian cavalry to enter the fortification from behind . This allowed the Russian infantry to capture Fort 72 , a fortified " Red Inn " ( Polish : Karczma <unk> ) and head towards Fort 73 unopposed . Polish officers managed to contain the panic just in time for their infantrymen to open rank fire on the approaching Russians and force them to withdraw .

wikipedia_2018-707 | Drifting northwestward through Texas , Tropical Depression Erin maintained an area of convection near the center , with its widespread but scattered rainbands dropping moderate to heavy precipitation . By August 17 , the winds decreased to 20 mph ( 30 km / h ) , with higher gusts . The system turned to the north @-@ northeast on August 18 , while heavy bands of thunderstorms continued to rotate around the center of Erin . Early on August 19 after entering Oklahoma , the remnants of Erin suddenly re @-@ intensified to maximum sustained winds of 60 mph ( 95 km / h ) a short distance west of Oklahoma City . The Norman , Oklahoma National Weather Service remarked the intensification " [ resulted ] in what amounts to an inland tropical storm ; " at 0930 UTC the system presented an eye @-@ like feature and a spiral rainband , and produced wind gusts of over 80 mph ( 130 km / h ) . However , a few hours later , the depression began weakening again , and late on August 19 Erin weakened significantly as the circulation dissipated over northeastern Oklahoma . Despite displaying tropical characteristics , the National Hurricane Center determined the system was not a tropical cyclone over Oklahoma , and classified it as a " low " . The low continued into southeastern Kansas before dissipating , feeding moisture northward toward a frontal system extending from the Midwestern United States through the Mid @-@ Atlantic States . Its remnant mid @-@ level circulation then moved eastward across Missouri , Kentucky , and Virginia before losing identity as it moved out into the Atlantic Ocean . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-709 | Released on May 10 , 1974 , Too Much Too Soon was another commercial failure for the New York Dolls , as it only charted at number 167 on the Billboard 200 . It performed well below Mercury 's expectations and sold less than 100 @,@ 000 copies .

" in July and " ( There 's Gonna Be A ) Showdown " / " Puss ' n ' Boots " in September 1974 — but neither charted . According to Antonia , the selected singles demonstrated how " the Dolls were in need of a hit single and their current producer wanted to see them attain it " by accommodating radio audiences with toned @-@ down studio versions of songs the band had performed more rowdily in concert . Joe Gross wrote in The New Rolling Stone Album Guide ( 2004 ) that the band 's attempt to garner more airplay by enlisting Morton did not work because , " with a slicker sound , background choruses , and cleaner riffs , the Dolls just sounded <unk> " . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-721 | A new league , the Canadian Hockey Association ( CHA ) , was formed in late November 1909 . One of the teams , the All @-@ Montreal Hockey Club , hired Ross as a playing @-@ manager , but the league only lasted to mid @-@ January 1910 before disbanding . Ross , who scored four goals in four games in the CHA , then signed with the Haileybury Comets of the National Hockey Association ( NHA ) , a league formed in December 1909 , which proved to be the stronger replacement to the ECAHA as the highest level of hockey in Canada . He received $ 2 @,@ 700 to play in the 1910 season , which lasted from January to March , playing twelve games for the team and finishing with six goals . Before the following season , the NHA imposed a salary cap of $ 5 @,@ 000 per team . The players , including Ross , were unhappy as this would result in a pay decrease , and began looking to form their own league without a cap . Ross wrote to the Montreal Herald , stating " all the players want is a fair deal ... The players are not trying to bulldoze the NHA , but we want to know where we get off at . " The plans were abandoned when they realized all the suitable arenas would be unavailable as they were owned or leased by the NHA . Ross scored four goals in eleven games with the Wanderers , who finished fourth in the five team league . During a match against the Quebec Bulldogs on February 25 , 1911 , Ross knocked out Eddie Oatman in a fight , provoking a massive brawl between the two teams , which the police had to break up . The fight helped to increase the reputation Ross had as a tough player unwilling to back down from any opponent . The following season Ross had eleven goals in nineteen games as the Wanderers improved to second in the league . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-723 | At Princeton University , Henry Norris Russell was following a similar course of research . He was studying the relationship between the spectral classification of stars and their actual brightness as corrected for distance — their absolute magnitude . For this purpose he used a set of stars that had reliable parallaxes and many of which had been categorized at Harvard . When he plotted the spectral types of these stars against their absolute magnitude , he found that dwarf stars followed a distinct relationship . This allowed the real brightness of a dwarf star to be predicted with reasonable accuracy . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-727 | The first convoy from Belgium , carrying stateless Jews , left Mechelen transit camp for Auschwitz on 4 August 1942 and was soon followed by others . These trains left for extermination camps in Eastern Europe . Between October 1942 and January 1943 , deportations were temporarily halted ; by this time 16 @,@ 600 people have been deported on 17 rail convoys .

wikipedia_2018-728 | The largest known Tyrannosaurus rex skulls measure up to 1 @.@ 45 meters ( 4 @.@ 8 ft ) in length . Large fenestrae ( openings ) in the skull reduced weight and provided areas for muscle attachment , as in all carnivorous theropods . But in other respects Tyrannosaurus 's skull was significantly different from those of large non @-@ tyrannosauroid theropods . It was extremely wide at the rear but had a narrow snout , allowing unusually good binocular vision . The skull bones were massive and the nasals and some other bones were fused , preventing movement between them ; but many were <unk> ( contained a " honeycomb " of tiny air spaces ) which may have made the bones more flexible as well as lighter . These and other skull @-@ strengthening features are part of the tyrannosaurid trend towards an increasingly powerful bite , which easily surpassed that of all non @-@ tyrannosaurids . The tip of the upper jaw was U @-@ shaped ( most non @-@ tyrannosauroid carnivores had V @-@ shaped upper jaws ) , which increased the amount of tissue and bone a tyrannosaur could rip out with one bite , although it also increased the stresses on the front teeth . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-729 | A driven and mercurial figure , Bethell inspired both admiration and loathing from his contemporaries , who saw him as an outstanding commander but with a furious and often unjustified , temper . During his time at 74th Brigade , relations with his staff had diminished to the point where they refused to take meals with him . He also believed in commandeering from other units and after leaving 25th Division , he repeatedly returned to poach staff officers and battalion commanders . The 74th Brigade would later provide the new divisional <unk> , Walter Guinness ( transferred after Bethell 's intervention to the Chief of Staff at army headquarters ) and the <unk> , John Marriott ( simply taken by Bethell from hospital ) . This approach extended to reorganising his new command . On 2 April , Bethell sent Gordon Macready , the divisional <unk> , to acquire several hundred guns in order to reform the 66th Division as a machine @-@ gun division , an idea that appears to have been entirely Bethell 's own . After raiding other divisions and emptying the Machine Gun Corps training school , Bethell reported to Field Marshal Douglas Haig that the division was ready to return to combat ; he was surprised to find that his friend " Duggie " disapproved of these methods , rejected the proposal and informed him that his division would instead be withdrawn and used as a training unit . Bethell was later offered a new division but chose to remain in the 66th Division , hoping that it would return to the front lines at a later date . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-731 | In fall 2007 , Lost 's writers presented ABC executives with the story that a salvage vessel called the Christiane I looking for the Black Rock , among other things , in the Sunda Trench would come across what would appear to be the wreckage of 815 . ABC hired the Australian company Hoodlum to design a $ 3 million viral marketing alternate reality game ( ARG ) titled Find 815 . Find 815 ran from December 28 , 2007 to January 31 , 2008 , beginning with a press release issued from ABC Medianet announcing the fictitious return of the fictional Oceanic Airlines ' return to business . The ARG – apparently the largest ever – followed Sam Thomas , an Oceanic technician who had lost his girlfriend in the crash , as he received cryptic e @-@ mails from The Maxwell Group ( a division of Widmore Industries , but nonexistent in Lost ) , joined the crew of the Christiane I and ultimately uncovered 815 . Because Find 815 was produced separately from the show and without the show 's writers , it contradicts events in the TV series . In " Confirmed Dead " , 815 is found by a man not present in the game named Ron ; Thomas is not mentioned . Lindelof and Cuse dismissed the game as not being canon ( not containing genuine information within the fictional universe ) and was largely just a bonus for fans during the between @-@ seasons hiatus . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-733 | Since it never reached a target , the exact place intended to be hit by Flight 93 has never been decisively confirmed . Before the attacks , Khalid Sheikh Mohammed , Osama bin Laden , and Mohammed Atef developed a list of potential targets . Bin Laden wanted to destroy the White House and the Pentagon . Sheikh Mohammed wanted to strike the World Trade Center and all three wanted to hit the Capitol . No one else was involved in the initial selection of targets . Bin Laden told 9 / 11 planner Ramzi bin al @-@ Shibh to advise Mohamed Atta that he preferred the White House over the Capitol as a target . Atta cautioned bin al @-@ Shibh that this would be difficult , but agreed to include the White House as a possible target and suggested they keep the Capitol as an alternative in case the White House proved too difficult . Eventually , Atta told bin al @-@ Shibh that Jarrah planned to hit the Capitol . Atta briefly mentioned the possibility of striking a nuclear facility , but balked after the other attack pilots voiced their opposition . Based on an exchange between Atta and bin al @-@ Shibh two days before the attacks , the White House would be the primary target for the fourth plane and the Capitol the secondary target . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-738 | James drew immense criticism from sports analysts , executives , fans , and current and former players for leaving the Cavaliers . The Decision itself was also scrutinized and viewed as unnecessary . Many thought the prolonged wait for James ' choice was unprofessional as not even the teams courting him were aware of his decision until moments before the show . Upon learning that James would not be returning to Cleveland , Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert published an open letter to fans in which he aggressively denounced James ' actions . Some angry fans of the team recorded videos of themselves burning his jersey . Former NBA players including Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson were also critical of James , condemning him for joining with Bosh and Wade in Miami and not trying to win a championship as " the guy " . James drew further criticism in a September interview with CNN when he claimed that race might have been a factor in the fallout from The Decision . As a result of his actions during the 2010 free agency period , he quickly gained a reputation as one of America 's most disliked athletes , a radical change from years prior . The phrase " taking my talents to South Beach " became a punch line for critics . | wikipedia-2018 |
