(CNN) The general manager of a Buffalo Wild Wings in the Boston area died after two cleaning agents combined to create toxic fumes in the restaurant's kitchen, officials said. Ryan Baldera. The incident at the restaurant in Burlington began around 5:30 p.m. Thursday, with workers and customers, some coughing, streaming out of the facility as fumes spread, witnesses told CNN affiliate WCVB Ryan Baldera, 32, was taken to a hospital, where he died. Thirteen other people -- 11 employees and two patrons -- were also hospitalized with burning eyes and difficulty breathing, the Burlington Fire Department said. A restaurant employee put a chlorine bleach-based product, Super 8, and acid-based cleaner Scale Kleen on the kitchen floor while cleaning it, the fire department said in a news release, citing a preliminary investigation itcustody and support. In September 2008, Ivery and Brown mediated a temporary agreement regarding child support, but in December 2008, Brown filed a new petition seeking to reduce the amount of child support he had agreed to pay Ivery. As the first petition was still pending and the child support award was temporary, the trial court dismissed Brown's second petition in February 2009. On April 24, 2009, the trial court held a final hearing on the first petition and counterclaim, at which Brown appeared pro se. That same day Brown filed his third civil action, which was an exact duplicate of his first petition for legitimation, custody, visitation, and child support. On May 12, 2009, the trial court issued a final order on Brown's first petition, apparently unaware Brown

(GOOG), the California-based search engine giant, made good on its promise to stop censoring results in China on Monday evening, upping the stakes in its showdown with the Chinese government. Now that Facebook Inc. (FB) has sorted its advertisement business out, it seems to be expanding by developing its offerings for as yet untapped markets. According to recent reports, the social media giant is planning on opening an office in China, even though its own services are banned in the country.

(CNN) A summit of central European leaders in Israel has been canceled after Israeli officials sparked outrage by accusing Poland of complicity during the Holocaust. Poland pulled out of the summit on Monday in protest over remarks made by acting Israeli Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz, who said Sunday that Poles had "collaborated with the Nazis" during World War II and "suckle antisemitism with their mother's milk." Katz's remarks came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a conversation with Israeli reporters last week at the end of a two-day visit to Warsaw, said that Poles had cooperated with the Nazis during the Holocaust. On Monday, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki described Katz's remarks as "racist and unacceptable," according to Reuters. "Not only can we not accept such racist comments, but withall our strength we want to stress that we will fight for historical truth, for the honor of Poles," he told reporters. Acting Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz said Sunday that Poles had "collaborated with the Nazis." The cancellation of the summit was a setback for Netanyahu, who was due to host the first meeting of the Visegrad nations -- Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia -- outside Europe.

(CNN) A week after one of the deadliest mass shootings in modern US history, Florida Gov. Rick Scott announced a comprehensive plan to keep students safe in his state, including suggestions to raise the minimum age to buy a gun, keep weapons out of the hands of the mentally ill and ban the sale of bump stocks. A former student fatally shot 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland on February 14, sparking renewed and heated debate over the middle point between Second Amendment rights and student safety. "We must take care of our kids," Scott, a Republican, said at a news conference announcing his three-part plan. Kai Koerber, a student at Stoneman Douglas who was there the day of the shooting, called the plan "a step inguns. It's common sense, and it is in their own best interest -- not to mention the interests of our communities. And much of what I'm proposing involves giving law enforcement the ability to stop people from harming themselves and others, while giving them the tools to keep our schools safe." Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel, a Democrat who was re-elected in 2016, was pleased with the news. "Thank you Gov. Scott and state legislative leaders for proposing a gun and school safety package that incorporates nearly all the ideas (Broward Sheriff's Office) and other sheriffs suggested. This is a strong first step in giving us the proactive ability to keep Florida safer," his office tweeted from its verified account . The targeted high school is in Broward County. Other Democrats

(Jon and his lawyers have released a statement to Entertainment Tonight, sort of denying her claims.) On Friday, Jon was a guest on The Insider—which has a new View-ish panel setup—and said that 80% of the money he and his family have earned has been put into a trust for his children. However, he said that the trust is "revocable," meaning that he has access to the money in it. He admitted that he "absolutely" plans on dipping into this trust. In a phone interview on The View today, Kate said that she would work at McDonald's, if need be, to support her children, but would obviously prefer the larger paychecks from TLC. Jon, who has been claiming that he wants his children off the show because the lack of privacyis "harmful" to them, disclosed on The Insider the last time he had sexual intercourse with Kate. He then lied, over and over and over again about various rumors. (Please, he's never smoked a joint in his life? Didn't he live in a Hawaii for a while?) After denying scandal after scandal, Jon apologized to people for his "mistakes." He also said he believes he will survive this particular one. But will he survive Nancy Grace? Jon will be facing off with her tonight on The Insider.

The county is seeking in its planned lawsuit tens of millions of dollars in damages to clear debris, rebuild infrastructure and develop safety measures to prevent future disasters. The move came about a month after the Board of Supervisors hired a group of private attorneys to represent them atnow faces a widening legal battle over its alleged connection with the fires. Pretrial proceedings for the lawsuits brought by displaced residents are being overseen by a court in San Francisco. Legal claims by local governments in such large disasters are not new. San Bruno sued PG&E after the deadly 2010 pipeline explosion, and Calaveras County sued after the massive 2015 Butte fire, which state investigators blamed on the utility. Goldstein, the Sonoma County counsel, said supervisors will be asked to enter a contract with the fire legal group, including Texas-based Baron & Budd and two firms from San Diego — Singleton and Dixon Diab & Chambers. The contract calls for the group to receive a net 18 percent of damages awarded to the county, Goldstein said. The group has conducted

(CNN) A British woman has been sentenced to eight years' imprisonment for pretending to be a 16-year-old boy in order to groom and sexually abuse young girls. Gemma Watts, 21, pleaded guilty to seven charges of grooming and sexual assault in November 2019 and returned to Winchester Crown Court for sentencing Friday, according to a police statement. Watts pretended to be a boy called "Jake Watton" to groom and sexually assault her victims. "In this particular case, Watts targeted her young victims on social media platforms and duped them into believing they were entering into a relationship with someone whom they could trust," said Phillipa Kenwright of London's Metropolitan Police force, who was one of the lead detectives on the case.

(CNN) When a subway ride in Queens last November became the setting of an anti-gay attack, New York Police turned to a team set up for just such an incident: the Hate Crime Task Force. Just two weeks later, a 54-year-old man was arrested in the case. And that swift resolution, detective Ashley Breton told CNN, was one of the most memorable cases he's solved since he decided to join the prestigious task force two years ago. "I would say that it's a very important unit to have because at any time, any incident could cause community unrest, which is something that no one wants to deal with -- (as) a member of the community or (as) a member of the New York City police department," he said. CNN recently spoketo Breton and other members of the Hate Crime Task Force as New York City is set to host WorldPride , an international celebration of the LGBTQ movement in June. This year also marks the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, the series of riots in Greenwich Village that is considered a turning point for the modern gay rights movement. Deputy Inspector Mark Molinari, the commanding officer of the Hate Crime Task Force, said he has not seen a hate crime incident at a Pride event in New York City. And his team is working with the FBI and the Department of Justice to keep it that way. "As far back as I've looked up, I've never seen an incident related to Pride Week," Molinari said.

Under circumstances involving no scintilla of suspicion, the husband was explaining that it was necessary to go to work notwithstanding near hurricane weather because he had to pick up a gear wheel for the company on his way to work that morning. The admissibility of that absolutely trustworthy declaration in no way erodes the inadmissibility of the declaration before us that was found to be untrustworthy. The Judson opinion, indeed, reaffirms the necessity of finding that such declarations, to be admissible, must "have been made in a natural manner and not under circumstances of suspicion." 215 Md. at 590, 139 A.2d 219.

(Newser) – Amanda Eller has apologized for putting rescuers' lives at risk when she became lost in a Hawaiian forest and is dialing back her comments about the ordeal being a spiritual experience. Eller, a yoga instructor and physical therapist, spent 17 days in the forest after becoming disoriented on what was supposed to be a three-mile hike, NBC reports. She posted a seven-minute video Friday night on Facebook to address what she called misunderstandings about her comments after being rescued. "It was never my intention through any of this to put anybody in harm's way, to create a rescue effort out of my being lost in the woods," Eller said. "I want to apologize for putting anyone in harm's way." She had left her cellphone and waterin her car when she began her hike, which she said in the video was irresponsible. Eller had likened her experience to a "spiritual journey," which had drawn criticism, per CNN. That comment ignored the reality of eating moths and berries and drinking water from streams, she said in the video. "This was never intentional, and I didn't set out that day on a spiritual journey." She lives in Maui but had gone to the Makawao Forest Reserve rarely. She had no compass and tried taking several paths to get back to her car; she then focused on trying to stay alive and getting the attention of rescue helicopters. Eller, whose feet and ankles are bandaged in the video, was treated in a hospital for two days for severe

(I hear that the actual figure paid to Bandar and some of his henchmen was closer to $10 billion).On May 12, two top executives of BAE, Chairman Mike Turner and an outside director who is also vice chairman of Barclay's Bank, were detained by U.S. officials as they arrived at Houston and Newark airports, respectively. They were handed grand jury subpoenas, and had their laptops, cell phones and papers temporarily confiscated. The latest from the DOJ is that the career prosecutors are so furious at the British government's stonewalling, that they are threatening RICO prosecutions against BAE.Remember, that the real story behind the BAE "Al Yamamah" scandal is that, under the arms-for-oil barter deal, the British accumulated well-over $100 billion, in off-the-books, offshore funds, that have been usedsummit in Japan in early July. A treaty is pending before the U.S. Senate, that would give British arms manufacturers equal access to Pentagon contracts, and a hearing was held this past week on the treaty at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.Biden, Lugar and Feingold all expressed apprehension over the treaty, and there is fear that the BAE flap will further complicate its passage. Again, the biggest aspect of the BAE/"Al Yamamah" story is the offshore fund.To summarize: BAE delivered about $40 billion in arms and services to Saudi Arabia. BAE padded the bills substantially, up to nearly $80 billion. The pad was used, in part, to bribe Saudi officials who helped swing the deal, including Bandar and Prince Turki bin-Khaled, a top official of the Saudi Ministry

Wounded in World War II, Byron drove with a special brace attached to the clutch pedal, to assist an injured leg - making his accomplishments even more impressive. That injury contributed to Byron's relatively brief career, after which he

(ANSA) - Rome, January 18 - Taking their cue from an unusually sharp exchange between Italian Premier Matteo Renzi and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker Friday, EU sources told ANSA anonymously Monday that Brussels has been having a communication problem with Rome. The sources said the EU didn't really know who their speaking partner was, prompting Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni to respond that "the interlocutor is the Italian government, in the fullness of its powers." And Germany's ambassador to Italy said that Berlin, often seen as the leader of the EU, needed Italy, adding that next week's meeting in Berlin between Renzi and German Chancellor Angela Merkel would clear up problems. Speaking on condition of anonymity, the European sources told ANSA there is concern at the highest EU levels overa lack of communication channels with Rome. Communication issues can turn into political problems, the sources said. European Commission President Juncker was and is Premier Renzi's friend and Italy's best ally, the sources said. Juncker and Renzi traded barbs Friday over economic flexibility clauses and migrants - and Renzi said Italy had made major structural reforms and was no longer being "remotely controlled" by Brussels. Juncker had lost his patience, the EU sources said. They went on to describe Italy's representative in Brussels, Stefano Sannino, as the best ambassador in the Belgian capital. What's missing, however, is continuous dialogue with experts and envoys on specific issues, such as the ones other European governments send in between major summits. This working method helps smooth rough edges long before leaders

(Texas Chainsaw Massacre). Next is Milwaukee’s own Jeffrey Dahmer. One of the worst serial killers in American history. Between 1978 and 1991, Dahmer killed 17 men, mostly young African-Americans that he met at gay bars. He would bring them home to his grandmother’s basement where he would drug them, strangle them to death, molest the corpses, and then dismember the bodies. Dahmer also kept body parts as souvenirs and often took photos of each victim at various stages of the murder process, so he could later relive the experience. Dahmer was finally caught in 1991 and sentenced to 15 life terms in 1992. THE ARTIST: Melody Sorenson – Milwaukee, WI “I’ve always been interested in the horror cult graphic style.

(now CanStage). "Everyone loved Butch without exception," said John NEVILLE, a former Stratford's artistic director. Mervyn BLAKE was born on November 30, 1907, in Dehra Dun, India, where his father was a railway executive. His father wanted him to become an engineer but after falling in love with the theatre, Mr. BLAKE was able to persuade his father to allow him to study at London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. In 1932, he graduated and soon made his professional stage debut at the Embassy Theatre in London During the Second World War, he served in the British Army as a driver. It was during the war years that he is said to have got his nickname Butch. A witness to the horrors of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, Mr. BLAKE was present at the liberation of the camp by British troops. It was an experience thathaunted him for the rest of his life. At the war's end, he returned to England and to the stage. He married actress Christine BENNETT and spent the years between 1952 and 1955 at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon. There he worked with many of the great British actors such as Sir Laurence OLIVIER, Sir Michael REDGRAVE and Dame Peggy ASHCROFT. Despite his success on the British stage, he decided to join the Stratford Festival of Canada, then in its fifth season. With his family in tow, Mr. BLAKE moved to Canada and in 1957 appeared in a production of Hamlet with Christopher PLUMMER in the title role. "He wasn't a leading actor," said actor and director Douglas CAMPBELL. "He was a supporting player. As a supporting player you couldn't get better." Mr. BLAKE always saw himself as a character actor who never cared that much about starring roles,

(CNN) -- A man shot and killed seven patients and a nurse at a Carthage, North Carolina, nursing home Sunday before being wounded during a shootout with a police officer, authorities said. Relatives of the nursing home's patients gathered at a nearby church, where they learned details of the shooting. Three other people, including the police officer and a visitor to the nursing home, were wounded in the attack, Carthage Police Chief Chris McKenzie said. The police officer was treated and released, McKenzie said. The slain patients ranged in age from 78 to 98, Moore County District Attorney Maureen Krueger said. The man accused of carrying out the attack, 45-year-old Robert Stewart, was in custody, and his condition was unknown Sunday night, McKenzie said. Stewart was not an employee of the PinelakeHealth and Rehab Center, and he did not appear to have been related to any of the patients, she said. "There is still more to be uncovered as far as his purpose in being there," she said. A witness told CNN affiliate WRAL-TV that Stewart was armed with a rifle, a shotgun and other weapons. The officer who stopped him, Justin Garner, "acted in nothing short of a heroic manner" and probably stopped the carnage from being worse, Krueger said.

(CNN) -- Malaysia's first openly gay pastor has chosen Wednesday, coinciding with the country's Independence Day, to get married to his American partner in New York, barely a month after same-sex marriage became legalized there. "It means a lot to be married that day, to honor my country and people in Malaysia," said Rev. Boon Lin Ngeo, who also goes by his pen name O.Young or Ouyang Wen Feng, in a telephone call from Kota Kinabalu, the capital of Malaysia's Sabah state, during a visit there last week. He said the date was chosen to remind others that "we need to keep fighting for our rights and be independent from all kinds of oppression." The two plan to make it legal at New York's City Hall at noon with the actualwedding ceremony on another date. A Chinese-Malaysian, Ngeo also plans a Chinese wedding banquet in the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur next year for family and friends. In Malaysia, a predominantly Muslim nation, sodomy and "carnal intercourse against the order of nature,"-- under which homosexuality falls -- are prosecutable under Penal Code 377. Offenders face imprisonment of up to 20 years and a whipping. Islamic Sharia laws in Malaysia also criminalize homosexuality. The Human Rights Commission of Malaysia declined a request by CNN to comment on gay marriage, with the public affairs spokeswoman calling it "a very sensitive issue and not a common lifestyle." The marriage is the second for both Ngeo, 41, and his fiancé, Phineas Newborn III, 47, a Broadway producer and performer as well as progeny of two

The body of James Heselden and his Segway were found in the River Wharfe. Police said witnesses said they saw a man fall Sunday over a 30-foot drop into the river in a popular hiking area near the village of Boston Spa, 140 miles north of London.

Skilling, 56, is in a prison near Denver and is serving a 24-year sentence. He was chief executive of Enron until shortly before the energy trading company imploded in one of the most dramatic corporate corruption scandals in US history. In both cases, prosecutors used a law that allows for conviction if business leaders are found to have robbed investors of "honest services". But twin decisions written by the supreme court judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg rule that this law should only be applied to incidents of bribery and kickback schemes. Referring toBlack, the ruling concludes: "We vacate the judgment of the court of appeals and remand the case for further proceedings." The decision affects three counts of fraud for which Black was convicted by a Chicago jury. But the 65-year-old former press baron still faces a hurdle in that he was also found guilty of obstructing justice by removing boxes of evidence from his Toronto office in defiance of a court order. Once friendly with society figures ranging from Margaret Thatcher to Henry Kissinger, Black described the case against him as hanging "like a toilet seat" around the necks of prosecutors. His legal team have never been pleased to have their case lumped in with Skilling, even through they appealed almost simultaneously to the supreme court on the same legal grounds.

Fate may have made him a pop culture fixture as a gruff and tough broadcast journalist, but his earliest connection was on the superhero serial ‘The Green Hornet’ as the show’s omniscient announcer.

(CNN) The day before we met, human rights campaigner Aref Jaber recorded the arrest of a 9-year-old Palestinian boy, taken out of school in the West Bank city of Hebron by armed Israeli soldiers. His footage shows soldiers inside Ziad Jaber elementary school, arguing with the school principal and other teachers, as they attempt to remove Zein Idris and his 7-year-old brother Taim. At one point on the video, one of the teachers is told that if he does not let go of Zein, the soldier will break the teacher's arm. The age of criminal culpability in Israel -- under both civilian and military law -- is 12, but when the principal points out that the brothers are just young children, an Israeli officer replies, "They threw stones, I don't carehow old they are." Taim was hidden in a classroom but, as the video shows, Zein was eventually frog-marched away and taken to an army vehicle. According to the school and residents of the neighborhood, he was taken off to a nearby military post and held for just under an hour. Describing the incident to CNN, the Israeli army spokesperson's unit said that a group of students had thrown stones toward cars belonging to residents of Israeli settlements in the city, and that soldiers then conducted a warning chat with the pupils. The army disputed the suggestion it had made any arrests, but added that the incident will be investigated, and regulations clarified accordingly.

Reed had been arrested for carrying a concealed weapon, and it was likely that he had been a passenger in the Oldsmobile earlier that night. Martin, identified as the vehicle's owner on the temporary license, had consented to a search of his person; he had then been given permission to go in the bar to make a call and had not returned for some fifteen minutes. 31 Officer Blades testified that they began their examination by looking through the car's open windows with their flashlights. Blades stated that the cellophane package, as well as a stereo radio and a cellularcocaine. Neither Martin nor Reed objected to its admission. Therefore, Martin failed to preserve the issue of whether Persing's trial testimony warranted reconsideration of the district court's denial of his motion to suppress. In addition, after careful review of Persing's testimony at the suppression hearing and the testimony of Persing and Blades at trial, we conclude that the discrepancies upon which Martin relies did not undermine the district court's decision that the crack cocaine was constitutionally admissible. 39 The judgment of the district court is affirmed. * The HONORABLE EARL R.

(CNN) The Texas chapter of an American Nazi group says its members were just trying to help stop the opioid epidemic. Their signs tell a very different message. "White men! Save your people. Reject the opioid beast!" one sign reads; two masked men stand in front, giving a Nazi salute. Another reads, "misplaced pride," and is accompanied by false statistics about gay men. The Texas chapter of the white supremacist, Nazi group Vanguard America is claiming responsibility for the flyers. Its leader says he's a Dallas-area college student in his early 20s but declines to identify himself further. The Anti-Defamation League lists Vanguard America as a white supremacist group. The leader of the Texas chapter, Texas Vanguard, told CNN he is a white supremacist. When asked by CNN whether his state chapter andVanguard America are American Nazis, the organizer said, "We are a national socialist group, so yeah." Vanguard America's leader, Dillon Irizarry, told CNN Monday that he and his group are not white supremacists, nor are they American Nazis. "I care for my ethnicity above any others," said Irizarry, who identifies as a "national socialist/fascist" and believes the United States should be an exclusively white nation. The unidentified Texas chapter leader claims he and four other members put up about 10 flyers and one banner on Southern Methodist University's campus in Dallas on Saturday evening. He says none of the participants attend SMU and that they chose it instead of their own colleges because it is a "bigger and more liberal place."

(The Black Sheep) While there was plenty of excitement in the first half with both sides playing lovely football, the same cannot be said for the second half. Harimau Muda came out looking for the all important equalizer and surged forward aggressively and the Rams soaked up the relentless pressure. Perhaps sensing that they were not making any headway to score in open play, the Young Tigers made sudden changes to their style of play rather uncharacteristically. Now Harimau Muda is a team that I respect very much prior to this match, and we all know that these young Malaysian boys have bags of talent. But I was shocked to witness them suddenly dropping like flies everywhere on the pitch. Pretty much a summary of the second half. I think the Young Tigers spentis involved in almost every infringement? Photo Credit: Andrew Him (The Black Sheep) Soon, more Harimau Muda players followed suit. It was like watching a synchrony of falling yellow jerseys all over the place. When the skillful Gary Robbat entered the Rams' penalty box, Woodlands captain Daniel Hammond put in an attempt to tackle the ball from Robbat. The Malaysian jumped up in the air like a salmon and landed face first on the pitch in a move which would have made the entire China National Diving Team proud. Referee K.

In Farmersville, Texas, a proposal to build a Muslim cemetery is being met by resistance from some, while others see it as an opportunity to demonstrate religious liberty. FARMERSVILLE, Texas (Christian Examiner) - Concerned citizens who packed into a local high school cafeteria for a town hall meeting in Farmersville last week to discuss a proposed Muslim cemetery agree on one thing - there is very little agreement to be found in the meeting itself, but they can agree fear and divided opinions remain.

On February 9, 2001, Amaury Díaz, Director of Finances of the GDB, informed Peña of the GDB's intention to immediately cancel his service order (See Defendants' Statement of Uncontested Facts — Exhibit 33). Peña contends that his service order contract was prematurely terminated because of his political affiliation to the NPP. He contends that he was given no explanation for the cancellation of his contract and that the cancellation was completely arbitrary since his service orders had been previously renewed four consecutive times without complaint (Docket # 105, p. 5, ¶ 15). Plaintiff Peña also alleges that the GDB's Executive Vice President, Jóse V. Pagán, made private and public statements indicating that service orders with NPP members would be cancelled.In addition, Peña claims that he was replaced by a person affiliated with the PDP. However, similar to Plaintiff Vélez's case, several of these allegations prove inconsistent with the evidence contained in the record. For example, Plaintiff Peña stated in his deposition that he never directly heard any employee from the GDB's management saying that the contracts of members of the NPP would be cancelled (See Defendants' Statement of Uncontested Facts — Exhibit 35). In fact, Peña claims to have heard a "rumor" from his supervisor, who supposedly heard it from someone else (See Defendants' Statement of Uncontested Facts — Exhibit 35). In addition, although Peña claims in the complaint to be the leader of an association of GDB employees which are affiliated to the NPP, he stated in

Figure 2.8 shows the front of Building 5200 as it appeared in 2002, and its side entrance where heavy pieces could be brought into the building. **Figure 2.8** Building 5200, from front and side of the building. The side is closest to Building 5100, showing entrance for heavy items, as it looked in 2002. The first nuclear explosive device was assembled in this building. The program also needed to learn to make sensitive HEU components for nuclear weapons, too sensitive to make at the main site. These parts were made in Building 5100 in a first floor workshop located off the covered courtyard of the building and below the device design section on the second floor (see figure 2.9). The door was in a covered courtyardto allow vehicles to enter and unload outside the purview of overhead surveillance. **Figure 2.9** The door led to the workshop that made HEU parts. The door was in a covered bay in Building 5100. In photo on right, the door is hidden by the small white building behind the auto. Once HEU was available, starting in 1978 and 1979, criticality experiments were done in Building 5200, which also had vaults to store HEU. These straightforward experiments verified the neutron multiplication factors of the two parts of the gun-type device separately, providing additional confidence that the gun-type design would work. The subcritical experiments used a neutron injector designed by physicists brought into the PNE program from the main site. One advantage of a gun-type design is that the need for a

(20), and professional staff positions at the NBA League Office (36.4 percent). Most notably, the representation of people of color in general manager positions doubled from last season. The NBA also leads all men's professional leagues in this position. As for ownership, representation for people of color is getting better. Michael Jordan is the majority owner of the Charlotte Hornets. Vivek Ranadive, who is from India, is the controlling owner of the Sacramento Kings. Marc Lasry, who was born in Morocco, is an owner of the Milwaukee Bucks. They were the first three owners of color to lead their teams simultaneously in any of the major professional sports leagues. Delise O'Meally, the executive director on the Institute for Sport and Social Justice, commented on the report card. "The NBA asa league, and in particular the league office, has taken a dedicated and consistent approach to inclusion. While numbers may fluctuate each year based on market and other factors, their overall commitment for the long term ensures that diverse voices are not only in the room, not only around the table, but integrally woven into the decision-making process. The importance of this commitment cannot be overstated. The value of inclusion goes beyond social acceptance and helps to frame the future of any organization through engagement of voices and opinions that result in the best overall business decisions. The NBA, as a barrier-breaker, has led the way in all professional leagues with the first female referee, the first openly gay referee, the first female assistant coach -- these firsts

(CNN) -- Union workers and activists who refused to leave the Wisconsin Capitol building Sunday, against orders, will be allowed to spend the night, police said. Authorities had set a deadline earlier in the day of 4 p.m. CST for demonstrators to leave the building, saying it needed to be cleaned after roughly two weeks of protests. While many people left, hundreds of others defied the order and remained inside. Some say they are willing to risk arrest in a conflict that has become a flash point in the nation's debate around labor unions "We have the right to be here. This is the people's house. This is a house of labor. This is a house that Wisconsin built," Mahlon Mitchell, president of the Professional Fire Fighters of Wisconsin, said fromdenied their right to organize and collectively bargain when I'm in the White House, I'll put on a comfortable pair of shoes myself. I'll walk with you on the picket line as president of the United States of America because workers deserve to know that somebody is standing in their corner," he said during a speech in Spartanburg, South Carolina, on November 3, 2007. While the president has publicly expressed support for those fighting to keep collective bargaining in Wisconsin, he has not joined them at protests. But Trumka of the AFL-CIO insisted that Obama, who faces federal budget challenges, is "doing it the right way." "He's not taking on workers like Scott Walker is and trying to take away their ability to come together and negotiate a middle-class way of

Jim has our full support and we all wish him well.” Hickey is the second coach to leave the ​Cubs this offseason, as hitting coach Chili Davis was fired earlier in October. Hickey was hired last season, and under his supervision, the team compiled a 3.65 ERA to go along with 1,333 strikeouts and a 1.31 WHIP. Hickey, a former player, was selected in the 13th round of the 1983 June Amateur Draft by the ​​Chicago White Sox, but never found hisway to the majors as he spent all seven seasons of his professional career in the minors.

(former NBA director of national promotions): In 1984, we were going to Denver for the All-Star Game. The NBA Board of Governors had already elected David Stern to become commissioner at the end of All-Star weekend. A very big subplot was Stern taking office the day after this event took place. Part of what he was talking about was getting back in touch with the rich history of our game. We had limited video archives and very little archival material of our sport. I’d only been with the NBA for a year-and-a-half. My job was to be the first person to go out and try to find corporations to invest marketing dollars into the NBA. It was a wake-up call trying to talk NBA to corporations who had verylittle, if any, interest in associating with what the NBA was at that time. Prior to '84, the All-Star Game would (consist of) flying in on a Saturday. There was a banquet, usually at that hotel the night before the game. We had a game and everyone went home. If I remember, there was a meeting with Carl (Scheer) and Adrian DeGroot, who was the president of NBA Properties. We met for a drink at the Waldorf Astoria bar. It was in that conversation that Carl threw out, ‘We had one of the most memorable events in the history of basketball in 1976 with the ABA Slam Dunk Contest. Wouldn’t it be great to bring that back and do it the way we did that, which was at halftime?' That

In Volantis, he gets captured by Jorah Mormont, who wants to use him to regain favor with Daenerys, and then meets a female dwarf named Penny. Then they're enslaved and forced to perform for the slavers, but ultimately escape and join the Second Sons, a mercenary company. On television: Wow, that's a lot of events.

Garcia figures that most of Tyrion's arc in A Dance With Dragons can appear next year, in some form — he will probably reach Meereen towards the end of the season, in any case. Whitehead says a streamlined version could involve Tyrion in Pentos, a brief stop in Volantis to meet Jorah, and then on his way to Meereen. Whitehead also wonders if the show will keep Penny, Tyrion's new dwarf friend. "The jousting scene at Joffrey's wedding, where they were careful to keep the last dwarf's face hidden,

(CNN) – A grim milestone this week, as the nation commemorates the 13th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Some of those still grieving the losses of family members from that horrific day are also on a mission to declassify 28 pages from the congressional investigation into the attacks, pages specifically focused on the role of foreign governments in the al Qaeda plot. These 9/11 family members say President Obama personally promised he would declassify those 28 pages, but now they say the White House does not even acknowledge them, or their requests. CNN's Jake Tapper reports. Editors note: After the airing of our report, National Security Council spokesperson Caitlin Hayden issued this response: "Earlier this summer the White House requested that ODNI review the 28 pages from the joint inquiry for declassification. ODNIcontinues towards Ishii & Yano defending the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championships against Honma & Makabe.

This match served to further a number of storylines ahead of the New Japan Cup, which will see Tanahashi take on EVIL in the first round.

(CNN) A day after the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill chancellor announced her resignation and approved the removal of the remains of "Silent Sam," a Confederate monument, the school's board asked her to leave weeks earlier than she'd planned. Chancellor Carol Folt announced Monday that she had authorized the move of the Confederate monument's base and that she would resign after graduation in May. On Tuesday, the UNC board of governors accepted Folt's resignation and gave her until January 31 to leave her job, according to a brief statement released by the university system. The board's decision comes hours after the monument's base and commemorative plaques -- the subject of intense recent debate as part of a larger national conversation about the purpose of and need for Confederatewhen they feel unsafe." Folt, who has been chancellor since 2013, also said the monument controversy has caused too much disruption. "Carolina's leadership needs to return its full attention to helping our university achieve its vision and to live its values," her letter reads. Monument's next destination still to be decided Silent Sam is the nickname of the statue of a Confederate soldier, which was built at the request of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. It was dedicated in 1913 to remember the "sons of the university who died for their beloved Southland 1861-1865," UNC's website says. After the statue was toppled in August, months of discussions with faculty and students led Folt and the UNC board of trustees to propose a new $5.3 million building to safely house Silent Sam. But

He would begin the long road to the NHL by first playing professionally with the Baltimore Skipjacks and the New Haven Nighthawks of the AHL and also the Hampton Roads Admirals in the East Coast Hockey League all in 1991-92. The following season of 1992-93 was one of more stability and progress, as Dafoe would spend the entire season in the minors with just the Skipjacks, along with reaching the pinnacle by making his NHL debut with one game up with the Washington Capitals in relief duty that totaled... one solitary minute. Fortunately for Dafoe, that would not be the extent of hisNHL career. He spent the majority of the 1993-94 season with the Portland (Maine) Pirates of the AHL, winning 24 games in 47 appearances as the Pirates captured the Calder Cup as AHL champions. Dafoe would also get into five games with the Capitals that season, earning his first NHL victory on March 31 against the Chicago Blackhawks, finishing with a 2-2 record. Additionally, he would appear in two playoff games with the Capitals that season. Dafoe spend most of the 1994-95 season with the Phoenix Roadrunners of the International Hockey League, posting a 25-16 record, and also got into six games with the Portland Pirates as well as adding four more games to his NHL total with Washington. Having played just 10 NHL games with the Capitals, Dafoe was dealt

(GRIGGS) 1968 was a devastating year for America. In early 1968, the North Vietnamese launched the Tet Offensive attacking all major cities and US military bases. Up to this time the government had been telling Americans that the North Vietnamese were being contained. The Tet Offensive was demoralizing for Americans and caused them to no longer trust the government. This was the year that America realized that it could not win the war and Johnson said he was willing to begin peace talks. Protests and violence increased. The country was so divided that it could not function well. Johnson recognized this and decided to not seek reelection. Both Dr. King and Robert Kennedy were killed. Protests and police violence at the Democratic Convention were televised and were deeply troublingfor the success of Americans. James Madison also denies the necessity of a Bill of Rights because it would be redundant (essentially, the Constitution already outlined the liberties without a separate clause). 28 Franco-American Treaty of 1778- GANSKE This was a defensive alliance between France and the United States, created during the heat of the battle in the Revolutionary War.

(CNN) On Thursday, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos took the extraordinary step of posting a personal essay alleging that the National Enquirer offered to bury embarrassing personal photos of him -- stemming from an extramarital affair -- if an investigator working for Bezos would stop referring to the alleged "politically motivated" nature of the leak pictures. Bezos wrote in the essay that he refused this extortion attempt -- and went public with the whole sordid tale instead. (The National Enquirer was first to report that Bezos was involved in an affair with a woman named Lauren Sanchez. Bezos had announced just before the report that he and his wife, Mackenzie, were seeking a divorce.)

Aside from the lack of any real plans for both characters, another major problem that worked against this title was that characterisation for both heroines was completely off.

It was weird because it was Levitz' work on these two characters in the 1970s and 1980s that defined these characters for writers in the last four decades.

Agent Russell testified at the hearing that he has been with the United States Border Patrol since January of 1997. He further testified that he often performs quick inspections of the vehicles which enter the checkpoint and that he is looking for drugs or illegal aliens. Generally, he "taps" on some of the vehicles' gas tanks and on the doors and also occasionally looks underneath the vehicles in order to see if there is anything suspicious about the vehicle.

(Reuters) — More than 200 marijuana plants were found at the rented Central Florida home of a former Georgia bank director captured this week after vanishing for 18 months under suspicion of embezzling $21 million, authorities said on Friday. The Marion County Sheriff's Department discovered the plants on Wednesday at a mobile home rented by Aubrey Lee Price, 47, in Ocaladepartment spokesman James Pogue told Reuters. A day earlier, Price, a former director of Montgomery Bank & Trust, a small bank in Ailey, Georgia, was arrested near Brunswick, Georgia, when authorities noticed his pickup truck windows appeared to be tinted too darkly to comply with state law. Price had disappeared more than a year earlier, just before he was indicted in Georgia in July 2012 on one count of bank fraud,which carries a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine. He left behind a written confession and a note for family and friends saying he planned to kill himself, authorities said. His wife believed he was dead, her attorney John Holt said on Thursday. Price had recently been living in Ocala and the landlord called police after spotting several marijuana plants growing in the garage, according to a police report. A deputy saw several bright lights and "tall green plants" believed to be marijuana in the garage, the report said. After obtaining a search warrant, investigators discovered a total of 225 marijuana plants in the garage and mobile home, the police report said. No charges have yet been filed against Price in connection with the marijuana,

(CNN) -- Relatives of slain California 8-year-old Sandra Cantu expressed "shock" Saturday at news that a neighbor -- a Sunday school teacher whose daughter was a playmate of Sandra's -- was arrested in the girl's death. Melissa Huckaby was charged with kidnapping and murder in the death of 8-year-old Sandra Cantu. "Just utter shock and disbelief," Sandra's aunt Angie Chavez told CNN affiliate KOVR. "I can't imagine a mother doing this to a child." Melissa Huckaby, 28, was booked into the San Joaquin County Jail early Saturday and faces charges of kidnapping and murder in the death of Sandra in Tracy, California. Sandra was last seen March 27 in the Tracy mobile home park where she lived with her family -- the same mobile home park where Huckaby lives.

These alterations from standard operating procedures resulted in a loss of oxygen to the young girl, Shannon Reilly. Attorneys for the family now say that Shannon is unable to walk, speak, write or swallow without assistance from others. The girl required round-the-clock care for her serious injuries.

(DA) cases against former Uttar Pradesh chief ministers, Mulayam Singh Yadav and Mayawati. The pressure on the agency, specially in the handling of the Taj Heritage Corridor case, in which the BSP supremo was implicated, continued even after the NDA government came back to power in 1999. It is well known that relations between the then CBI chief, U S Mishra, and the PMO under Principal Secretary Brajesh Mishra, were strained due to the Mayawati probe. Mishra’s tenure straddled two governments and as has been reported earlier, when the Congress came back to power in 2004, the CBI chief was required to put down in writing why his agency had not challenged the discharge of L K Advani in the Babri Masjid demolition case by a Rae Bareilly courtMasjid demolition case, apparently, even the government’s law officers recused themselves and the CBI conveniently based its decision — of not filing an appeal — on an opinion sought from a private lawyer, N Natarajan. Hereafter, the controversies surrounding the agency and its bosses were mostly of their own making. With the UPA government embroiled, first, in the 2G scam and later in the coal allocation scam, it was an open secret that successive CBI chiefs and the government’s troubleshooters were often in a huddle trying to control the fallout. Ranjit Sinha, who joined the CBI in end 2012, even left behind a draft copy of the CBI’s status report on the coal scam for “vetting” by Law Minister Ashwani Kumar and his staff before it went to the

Ron Johnson during the Senate hearing, Colbert accused Johnson of allowing Clinton to "step all over Ron's Johnson" and"spank him." Colbert showed Johnson ending the exchange by saying "thank you Madame Secretary" and wondered why the Senator would do so unless "thank you Madame Secretary" was his "safe word." After showing Johnson and a bunch of the talking heads on the right claiming that Clinton's anger during the hearings was just an act and made up, Colbert followed with this:

He finished second in NL Rookie of the Year voting to Cody Bellinger of the Dodgers. A fourth-round Draft pick in 2015 out of Illinois State University, DeJong ascended rapidly through the Cardinals' farm system on the heels of his prodigious power. He hit 22 home runs at Double-A Springfield in '16, his first full professional season, then 38 between Triple-A Memphis and the Majors in '17. He finished the year as the Cards' primary No.3 hitter and with an .857 OPS that ranked third among MLB shortstops. "When [principal owner] Bill [DeWitt], [Michael] Girsch and I were discussing the possibility of doing something like this, one thing that stood outa long time." It's also consistent with the club's preference to extend pre-arbitration-eligible players it sees a future with, a strategy the Cardinals have employed to considerable, if not complete success under Mozeliak. Similar extensions allowed Adam Wainwright , Carlos Martinez and Matt Carpenter to develop into All-Stars while playing under team-friendly contracts, something the club now hopes happens with DeJong and second baseman Kolten Wong . The Cardinals did not see the same type of return from a five-year extension they struck with Allen Craig in 2013, or from the multi-year pact outfielder Stephen Piscotty signed last April. Chronic lower body injuries detrailed Craig's career shortly after the extension, and Piscotty was traded to Oakland this winter following a disappointing season.

(CNN) President Donald Trump continued working to fortify himself against accusations of legal misdeeds on Thursday, defending himself on Twitter in the dark morning hours and telling an interviewer he'd done nothing wrong. But as the swirl of legal questions continues to mount, neither the President nor his aides have been able to quell the fallout. Trump's latest attempt came in a friendly taped interview with Fox News, which was conducted on Wednesday but aired a day later. Trump sought to put distance between himself and his former lawyer Michael Cohen, who admitted to campaign finance crimes in federal court on Tuesday and implicated the President by saying he'd directed the action. And he sharply decried those who testify against former confidants to ease legal troubles, bemoaning the longstanding practice.

Thisme, the recently translated The Birth of Biopolitics lectures ruin any hope to retain a liberal reading of Foucault. In The Birth of Biopolitics, Foucault develops a careful account of the emergence of the neo-liberal subject, homo oeconomicus, in the 20th century. The key shift from liberalism to neo-liberalism is the recognition that the rationality assumed by liberal theorists was bankrupt, an ideal formation that did not exist within the concrete conditions and was too costly to maintain through disciplinary techniques of normalization. Foucault’s lectures trace how neo-liberalism was able to produce a self-entrepreneurial subjectthat works to maximize human capital – the contemporary equivalent of aesthetic self-creation – not as part of a grand ideological strategy, however, but through strategic interventions that intensified power is a series of

Ibid. 101. By the end of 1869, the Lincoln School faced its first financial crisis. The AMA's funds were running out, and the Freedmen's Bureau was phasing out as well. Even though Republicans controlled state government, they could not afford to offend too directly the system of white supremacy. Most white people in Marion were opposed to the Lincoln School because of the egalitarian style and content of education Steward and the AMA were affording blacks. In an attempt to force public funding of Lincoln, Senator Steward succeeded in getting a bill through the legislature on February 16, 1870,requiring Marion to levy a property tax of one-half of one percent to support education. Thornton (11/5/90) 91-92. 102. Whites were furious that their property would be taxed to support blacks' education, and a lawsuit was filed by a white citizen of Marion, Elias Dunkin. The court enjoined collection of the tax and was applauded by the white newspaper in Marion: It was a bare-faced attempt to rob the white people for the benefit of soap-eyed Steward, and as such it ought at least to have secured the condemnation at the hands of every white man in the town.

(1862), Dublin (1865) and Paris (1866). Selwyn resigned from the survey in 1869, the legislature having discontinued its funding as a result of a disagreement over the survey’s priorities. Before leaving Australia in March 1869, Selwyn accepted an offer from Sir William Edmond Logan* to become his successor as director of the Geological Survey of Canada. The task of filling the enormous gap left by the departure of Logan’s independent wealth, social status, political acumen, and scientific reputation, both in Canada and abroad, was daunting even for a stratigrapher of Selwyn’s dedication, training, and experience. The complexity of the task was increased immeasurably by the transformation of the GSC into a transcontinental and modern institution, which Selwyn was to oversee. This transition was even more difficult because Selwyn wasan outsider among long-time members of the GSC who had coveted the directorship after Logan’s retirement, and some resented Selwyn’s appointment, which began on 1 December. The path of Selwyn’s career with the GSC was governed by these structural and personal realities. His first official challenge was to learn enough about Canadian geology to supervise its more detailed investigation by the staff, no mean feat with the entry of Manitoba and British Columbia into confederation soon after his arrival. During his first season, in 1870, Selwyn inspected the Eastern Townships of Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. In 1871 he crossed British Columbia to help plan the GSC’s contribution to the building of the proposed Pacific railway. The next year he studied Precambrian formations between lakes Superior and Winnipeg

(ANSAmed) - ISTANBUL, JANUARY 27 - The Istanbul prosecutor has demanded life prison sentences be handed down to Can Dundar and Erdem Gul, the jailed editor in chief and news editor of the opposition Cumhuriyet newspaper, on charges of espionage and "terrorist propaganda" for publishing an investigative report on presumed trafficking of weapons from Turkey to Syria. The court has to approve the prosecutor's request before the trial of the two journalists begins. After the publication of the report on the eve of June elections the journalists were denounced by the Turkish secret services and by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who threatened that they would pay "a heavy price" for their reporting.

(FOIA) requests WHAT IS PROJECT BLUE BOOK? Project Blue Book was the name for a project that investigated UFO reports between 1947 and 1969. It was the third study of its kind. The first two were projects Sign (1947) and Grudge (1949). The aim was to determine if UFOs were a threat to national security, and to scientifically analyse UFO-related data. The USAF says that Blue Book included 12,618 sightings reports, with 701 of which remained 'unidentified' – or around 5.5 per cent of the files. A termination order was given for the study in December 1969, and all activity under its project ended in January 1970.

The same brashness and impulsiveness that led to some really bad choices also led him to boldly proclaim that Jesus was the long-awaited Messiah, and that he had faith that Jesus was the Son of God. The apostles, of course, weren’t the only people in whom Jesus located, brought out, and used even the tiniest bits of good. Consider the Samaritan

Human Rights Watch also called on the University of Bahrain to stop requiring students to sign oaths of loyalty to the ruling Al Khalifa family and the government as a condition for enrollment. The University of Bahrain, the country’s largest higher education institution, dismissed at least 100 faculty and staff between April and August, in most cases for attending anti-government demonstrations or posting links on social media, Human Rights Watch said.

As a result, I took part in a march at the university organized by some students. Unfortunately I was wrong and the whole story was like a trap.” University administrators accused him of participating in an illegal march inside the university campus, chanting anti-government slogans, abusing the symbols of the Kingdom of Bahrain, and breaching his duties.They fired him in

"Everything that I have done -- in reforming the country's power sector, and in uniting the country's democratic parties-- I will continue doing, with twice the strength," Chubais said in a one-paragraph statement. Because of what he's doing in Georgia, and did in with Saddam, and doing in Iran, and tried to do in Ukraine - and what he's doing in Russia - Putin must be watched VERY carefully: he's a "Little Stalin" - and growing rapidly, I fear... UPDATES: RIA/NOVOSTI: "'The criminals escaped in the forest and reached the Minskoye highway where a car was waiting for them,' said the source. Reportedly it was a dark Saab. Chubais' motorcade was attacked on Thursday morning when it was leaving the Zhavoronki village not far from the Minskoye highway. The RAO UES chief was not injured. An unidentified explosive device went off between the BMW car with Chubais in it

(CNN) President Donald Trump, in a series of tweets Friday, deviated from his previously measured comments about the woman who has accused his Supreme Court pick Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, claiming that if the attack she alleges "was as bad as she says, charges would have been immediately filed with local Law Enforcement Authorities". In a series of tweets, Trump threw into question the validity of Professor Christine Blasey Ford's accusations in the most direct way since the allegations against Kavanaugh came to light and said his Supreme Court nominee is "under assault by radical left wing politicians." "I have no doubt that, if the attack on Dr. Ford was as bad as she says, charges would have been immediately filed with local Law Enforcement Authorities by either heror her loving parents. I ask that she bring those filings forward so that we can learn date, time, and place," Trump tweeted. Hours after his initial rebukes of Ford, Trump returned to Twitter to take aim against Senator Dianne Feinstein for waiting to release a letter that detailed Ford's allegation, claiming she and fellow democrats planned to "release it with a bang after the hearings were OVER." Trump also called for the process to reach its completion, writing " Let her testify, or not, and TAKE THE VOTE!" Ford has accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her at a party when they were both in high school. He denies it happened. CNN reported earlier Thursday that Trump has bragged about the positive coverage he's received for his handling of Kavanaugh's accuser, according
