Syria's President Bashar al-Assad is confident his regime is no longer threatened after Russia helped turn the tide.
At the start of 2018, Syria is on many minds because of the millions either dead, wounded or made refugees.
The outgoing year was a good year for President Bashar al-Assad, as forces recaptured major cities and large areas of rebel-held territory.
The Russian resort of Sochi is due to host a new round of talks in January.
But after so many failed negotiations, what kind of political settlement is possible?
Presenter: Hashem Ahelbarra
Guests:
Yahya Al Aridi - spokesman for the Syrian Negotiating Committee
Alexey Khlebnikov - Middle East expert at the Russian International Affairs Council

In Venezuela, Eladio Aponte, the former Supreme Court justice, has detailed how senior Venezuelan officials from the presidential palace called him to order specific judicial opinions in drug trafficking cases.

I was a London boy. I wanted to go to Highbury. I wanted to be a part of the whole setup at The Arsenal. It was straight out of a Roy of the Rovers comic.
Kenny Sansom
I believe he was the greatest Arsenal left back ever.

In a summer where a player with less Champions League experience and goals than Nicklas Bendnter is being touted to Real Madrid for the price it would cost to build and run ten children's hospitals, and a Uruguayan on £80,000 a week has complained of being unfairly treated, it is perhaps better that we concentrate on a genuine hero who has fallen on hard times.
It was with sadness but not altogether shock that an ex Crystal Palace left back spoke distressingly of financialand emotional problems this month. No not Ashley Cole, a Selhurst loanee and Junior Gunner who once nearly crashed his car in shock and disgust when being informed Arsenal offered him a new contract worth fifty-five thousand pounds a week. No, perish the thought. I am referring to an unpretentious and authentic Gunners champion and legend: Kenny Sansom.
August 1983. Kenny is at the height of his powers. A summer previously he was ranked as one of the best left backs on the planet at the 1982 Spain World Cup. If not as good as Italy's Antonio Cabrini, or Brazil's Junior he certainly deserved to inhabit the rarefied stations that France's Manuel Amoros, or an ageing Paul Breitner held. He was certainly the best left back in England - | {

Supporters of the brigades have written to the British ambassador in Madrid, Giles Paxman, to ask him to intervene.

McCormick, co-founder of New York-based Goldman McCormick PR, agreed that "a lot of studios are not going to take a chance" on Smollett since his clouded reputation could jeopardize a primetime franchise.
"I believe this is a permanent setback," McCormick said. "He might be able to pick up smaller roles, but I don't think his career will ever reach anything close to its current height."
Howard Breuer, CEO of Newsroom Public Relations and a former staff writer at People magazine, said he was unsure if Smollett could return to "Empire," which is expected to conclude its fifth season next month. But that doesn't mean there won't be another star vehicle in Smollett's future, he added.

When a Georgia police officer shot and killed Anthony Hill outside of Atlanta earlier this week, their interaction followed the script of countless others before it.
Someone called the police to report that Hill, a black Air Force vet with a history of bipolar disorder, was running around a residential complex — naked. Police later said that he was acting "deranged" and that he lunged at the officer who shot him. Hill was unarmed and evidently in the middle of a mental breakdown, but he ended up dead instead of in a mental healthcare facility.
This is an increasing occurrence, as mentally ill people regularly fail to receive the care they need and end up in often deadly encounters with law enforcement.

Its erection is placed at the end of the fifth century BC and it is said that its architect was Iktinos, who, along with Kalllikratis, had designed the Parthenon. Built on a barren rock, lonely and magnificent, the temple was considered by Pausanias to be one of the most beautiful temples in the Peloponnese. UNESCO declared that it is a World Heritage Site as early as 1986.

Did the Baltimore Ravens get an illegal practice kick before game-winning field goal?
Moments before kicking a game-winning 47-yard field goal to send his team to the AFC championship, Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker took a practice kick on the field during a break in between the first and second overtime sessions in Denver.
While players milled around, waiting to restart the game following the expiration of the first 15 minutes of the extra session, Tucker was seen taking at least one warm-up kick. The impromptu practice drew protests from some Denver Broncos, including Champ Bailey, who can be seen questioning its fairness in the accompanying picture.
Turns out that taking on-field kicks is not an offense that brings a penalty. But, strangely, it's also not allowed.

BOSTON — The former head of sales for an opioid manufacturer took the stand in federal court here Friday to describe how he followed directions to recruit and bribe doctors for years to increase sales of the company's highly addictive drug.
The testimony of Alec Burlakoff, the former vice president of sales for Insys Therapeutics, closed the fifth week of a trial of five former company executives. The group was charged with multiple conspiracies in October 2017, including racketeering, kickbacks and fraud, along with two other former executives who pleaded guilty and have become cooperating witnesses.
The first cooperating witness, former CEO Michael Babich, testified last month. Burlakoff is the second. Their testimony against theirformer colleagues is part of a mountain of evidence prosecutors are bringing to build a groundbreaking case to hold pharmaceutical executives accountable.
It is the first federal trial involving executives of an opioid manufacturing company, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for Massachusetts, which is prosecuting the case. Expected to last around three months, the first five weeks have already included a series of revelations about the company's conduct.
The former executives, including founder and former billionaire John Kapoor, were accused of defrauding insurance companies and bribing doctors to prescribe a highly addictive fentanyl-based pain drug when it wasn't needed.
The drug, Subsys, can be up to 100 times stronger than morphine. It was approved by the FDA to treat patients with cancer who had "breakthrough" pain which other narcotics were | {

Fixing Football
August 25, 2015 - 3 minute read
Recent revelations concerning traumatic brain injury – particularly in the context of full impact sports – has led to a growing controversy around the youngest group of American football players. In light of all of this research, is it time to declare that football is inherently dangerous?
In a theater in Berkeley, CA, the Berkeley Rep presented “X’s and O’s (A Football Love Story)”, an unflinching docudrama that depicts the capital-c “Concussion” as a part of the fiber of the sport of football – as essential as the pass or tackle. Meanwhile, in the Midwest, the family of Joseph Chernach – a former youth football star who took his own life in his early 20s – gathers evidence for its $5 millionby choking the pipeline of young talent into collegiate and professional play. Alternately, it could lead to gladiator-ification – making pro football exactly the sort of bloodsport that the NFL is trying to move away from, a sport one more akin to MMA in its perceived level of brutality.
The league is no longer capable of responsibly regulating itself. In late February 2015 the NFL announced it would halt its use of helmet censors to gather head collision metrics. It is considered, if not a crushing blow – a serious setback to the research of concussions in professional sports. | {

When erected in late 1987, the menorah received widespread press attention, including an article and a photograph in the New York Times of Rabbi Raskin lighting the first candle, with City Hall as a backdrop. The article pointed out that the Lubavitch group had been raising the menorah in the park for four years, but had attracted little attention the first two years because the menorah was up for only one day. The article also noted that Burlington's grant of the permit in December 1987 came only one week after a federal magistrate recommended that a cross be removed from the top of a Christmas tree locatedon the front lawn of a courthouse in nearby Hyde Park, Vermont, because the presence of the cross violated the Establishment Clause.4 The menorah became a subject of controversy, the Burlington City Attorney suggested, as a result of the "heightened awareness" of religious symbolism caused by the dispute over the Hyde Park cross.

The three plaintiffs in this action are residents of the area who have been exposed to the menorah in the course of their daily activities.

William Sydney Clements, described as 'evil at its worst'. By all accounts, Clements was a truly unpleasant man. Even other English gentry, not themselves given to conspicuous displays of kindness and compassion, thought he took things too far. He famously evicted wholesale his tenants on another of his estates in Donegal, people already desperately poor and starving from the effects of the famine. Mean, ruthless, cruel, given to violence and misogyny, he was eventually murdered by his own farm workers. Like many a stately home, the grandeur of Lough Rynn Castle belies the unpleasant truths of histories of exploitation and appropriation.

It means there will not be another Commons vote until after the five-week shutdown, meaning there won't be an election until November at the earliest.
The move is a hammer-blow for Remainers who launched two separate legal bids to block the proroguing, but both were unsuccessful.
It comes after the Prime Minister todaysaid No Deal would be a "failure of statecraft" after the Irish PM told him a Brexit deal is possible.
He was given a boost as the two leaders held their first face-to-face meeting since he moved into Downing Street in July.
Leo Varadkar said the PM had a "Herculean" task on his hands but he was "looking forward" to their Brexit talks today.
He said: "If there is a deal, and I think it’s possible, we’ll enter talks on a future relationship agreement between European Union and the UK."

According to Laurent Savary, the Swiss Air Force operates during office hours only, specifically from 8am until a lunch break at noon. A return to cockpits happens at 1:30 pm and they watch over Switzerland’s skies until 5pm.
When the Boeing 767-300 with 202 passengers, highjacked by 31-year-old co-pilot Hailemedehin Abera Tagegn got to Europe, it was still too early for the Swiss pilots to gear up for the urgent mission.
So the job was done by Italian and French military pilots. Italian Air Force Colonel, Girolamo Ladiciccio, said, the order to intercept the Boeing from the Ethiopian capital came from NATO command. Two Italian, and later a couple of French fighters ensured the Ethiopian aircraft did not stray from itsleading into defendant Almac's, Inc.'s store and was injured. Less than three years later, on March 27, 1989, plaintiff sued Almac's, alleging that Almac's negligently failed to maintain the premises. On February 28, 1992, plaintiff amended her complaint and alleged that defendant Elmwood Avenue Associates (Elmwood), the owner of the premises, negligently failed to maintain the sidewalk.
The lease agreement between Elmwood and Almac's stated that Elmwood, the owner, had the duty to maintain the common areas, including the sidewalks. Another provision of the lease agreement provided, *972 however, that if Almac's damages the premises, Almac's had the duty to repair the damage caused by its own conduct.

Ranch provided the perfect ambiance for the festival, which drew an estimated 17,000 people over the weekend. Crowds walked the dusty streets, flanked by scenery that has appeared in TV shows such as Gunsmoke and The Magnificent Seven, and movies such as High Noon and The Shootist.
The event began Friday evening with a special concert by western music star Don Edwards. The singer has a warm, pleasant baritone, reminiscent of Marty Robbins, and his concert was held at William S. Hart’s former mansion. Hart was the first big movie cowboy, starring during the silent era; he finished his career just as the talkies began.
The festival itself featured musical performances on four different stages. Top-name acts appeared at the Melody Ranch Theater, which seats just under 1,000. These concertsrequired a separate ticket, and five of the eight had sold out before the festival began.
Saturday concerts at the big theater featured one-hour shows by Wylie and the Wild West, the Sons of the San Joaquin, Michael Martin Murphey and the western swing group, Bob Wills’ Texas Playboys, who provided music for a western-style dance Saturday night. On Sunday, there were shows by Jill Jones, Red Steagall and the Texas Playboys.
Riders in the Sky were not at this year’s festival, but they were the only act missing from the top tier of western performers. Murphey, formerly a pop and country artist, has become godfather and conscience to the movement. His set consisted of a number of old-time or “authentic” cowboy songs from the 19th century.

drafting running back Trent Richardson in the first round. Brown described Richardson as "ordinary," and the man who helped revolutionize the running back position said he "didn't see anything outstanding" about the rookie back.
On Sunday, Richardson rushed for 109 yards and scored two touchdowns in his second NFL game as the Browns lost 34-27 at Cincinnati. According to ESPN Stats & Information, Richardson became the first Browns rookie since the AFL/NFL merger (1970) with 100-plus rushing yards, a rushing touchdown and a receiving touchdown in the same game.

Novelist Colum McCann came to New Haven to spread a story about healing. Before he got the chance, he landed in the hospital with a bloodied head after trying to be a “Good Samaritan.” McCann (pictured) was attacked outside The Study at Yale Saturday night. That was somewhat ironic given the reason the New York-based author of the National Book Award-winning Let the Great World Spin was in New Haven.

Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and the flight was operating on an instrument flight plan. According to the operator, the pilot reported there had been an abnormal vibration as the aircraft accelerated through takeoff rotation speed (Vr). Several passengers pressed their flight attendant call buttons and alerted the flight attendants who, in turn, reported the cowling separation to the cockpit crew. The return for landing at the departure airport at 33 was unremarkable. The aircraft was taxied to the terminal gate and the passengers deplaned normally.

S. 484; Enhancing Drug Safety and Innovation Act of 2007: This is the 110th Congress' version of the drug safety bill introduced by Senators Mike Enzi (R-WY) and Ted Kennedy (D-MA) last year. Since that time, Senators Enzi and Kennedy have changed places on the HELP Committee, with Senator Kennedy now at the helm of the Committee. The bill requires that the FDA devise "Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS)" at the outset of its approval process for new drugs. The REMS can include strategies for disseminating risk information about a drug, including requiring preclearance of promotional material to ensure that advertisements convey information regarding risk.

Police Gang Unit were patrolling an area in Albuquerque known as Trumball Park. The police department had received several complaints of gang activity in the area, ranging from trespassing and graffiti to drive-by shooting. Defendant and two other men were walking on a city sidewalk toward and within a block of Trumball Park when the officers observed the three men. The officers knew one of the men as an avowed gang member and narcotics distributor. When the officers had seen this particular man in the past, the routine was to stop and frisk him, and to ask him some questions. The officers did so on this occasion as well. When the officers stopped this man, he perfunctorily raised his arms and locked his fingers behind his back, awaitingthe frisk.
The officers observed that defendant was wearing blue nylon sweat pants with a wide gold stripe on each leg, and a similar sweat shirt. One officer testified that the sweat pants were partially sagging down defendant's buttocks, but not so much as the officer had seen on some gang members. Defendant also wore a particular brand of athletic shoes one gang favors. Based on the area where the officers observed defendant, the fact that he was with a known gang member, defendant's apparel, and his manner of wearing it (the sagging), the officers determined that defendant was a gang member. Their training and experience taught them that gang members are often armed. Thus, in the interest of safety, the officers ordered defendant to assume the same stance | {

10 Critically-Acclaimed 2013 Video Games (With Major Gameplay Flaws)
2013 has been a stellar year for gaming. From cinematic mainstream AAA titles like GTA V, The Last Of Us and Bioshock Infinite, to the steadily increasing rise of the indies like Brothers: Tale of Two Sons and Gone Home, the end of 2013 has left behind many memorable gaming experiences, and hopefully inspire success in 2014.
With the colossal amount of critical acclaim these games have garnered, it has become quite a bit easier to overlook their less superb aspects, but it would be foolish to suggest that any game last year – even the most critically acclaimed – were anything like perfect. Despite having the power and financial clout of some of the biggest gaming studios behind them, somegames hit the market broken, and not just the infamous examples like Aliens: Colonial Marines, which was comically awful, or some of the lesser, basically unplayable titles of the year.
Some of the most notoriously flawed games of the year were actually the same titles that were counted as the most critically acclaimed of the year, proving once more why developers and publishers think it’s fine to release unfinished or undercooked titles. Because they will still sell, and will still be acclaimed, no matter what.
In this list we will take a look (in no particular order) at some of most popular and highly rated games of 2013, and the flaws they possess that would have brought lesser games down.

One approach that has been employed to clean the foreline relies on a scrubbing system that uses plasma enhanced CVD techniques to extract reactive components in the exhaust gas as film deposits on electrode surfaces. The scrubbing system is designed to maximize the removal of reactants as a solid film and uses large surface area spiral electrodes. The spiral electrodes are contained within a removable canister that is positioned near the end of the foreline between the blower pump and mechanical pump. After a sufficient amount of solid waste has built up on the electrodes, the canisters may be removed for disposal and replacement.

BMO Field in late November.
Speaking through a translator, Giovinco talked about why he wasn’t as productive at home, and suggested that the Argonauts moving into BMO Field this season changed the condition of the pitch and might have caused him to cramp up. The Italian said he took his complaints to management, who responded that they were confident they could improve the playing surface for 2017.
Giovinco scored six goals and added four assists in six playoff games (all as a starter) this year. Three of those goals came at Yankee Stadium in a 5-0 win over NYCFC, and two of his assists came away from home.

The effects of the London ban have reached everybody in the khat micro-economy, from the big name traders like Muraa to the small fish who depend on the trade for their survival.

In its submissions to parliament, the Home Office committee warned that banning khat would result in the formation of a black market – as seen in the United States and other European countries including Norway and Holland.
Although initially khat sold for between £3 and £4 a kilogram in Britain, the committee reported that if it was banned the price could increase to £318, similar to its price in the US.

Back in December Donald Trump said New Jersey Governor Chris Christie "totally knew" about his staff engaging in a politically motivated closing in 2013 of several lanes on a key bridge from his state into New York City.
It turns out Mr Trump may have been right.
On Monday, federal prosecutors in the trial of two New Jersey government officials over their involvement in what has become known as the "Bridgegate" scandal said one of the defendants and a star witness boasted about their actions to the New Jersey governor at the time.
It's a rare point of agreement between the prosecutors and the defence attorneys whose case largely rests on Mr Christie's knowledge - and approval - of the lane closures.
The prosecution asserts that even though MrChristie obviously knew of his aides' actions, which were taken to punish a local Democratic mayor who declined to endorse the governor in his 2013 re-election bid, the staff members should still be held culpable.
"At the end of this case the only issue for you to decide is whether Bridget Kelly and Bill Baroni are guilty of the crimes with which they are charged beyond a reasonable doubt," prosecutor Vikas Khanna said. "That's it."
Monday's revelation runs counter to the governor's repeated insistence that he knew nothing about the actions of his subordinates, which he said were "completely inappropriate and unsanctioned". More than that, it caps what can only be described as an epic reversal of fortune for the man who five years ago was considered a rising star | {

Colombia’s two largest cocaine handlers. As such they acted as the primary sources for a generation of Mexican drug traffickers who in turn smuggled vast drifts of blow across the border to the lucrative U.S. market.
More recently, amid the seismic shifts in the Colombian underworld, some of the largest and most ruthless Mexican cartels took matters into their own hands—sending down their own experienced personnel to enhance the production process, build new alliances, and prop up local crime groups in order to make sure coke quotas are met.
After a slight dip earlier this decade, Colombian cocaine production has made a strong comeback, rising by about 50 percent in both 2016 and 2017 . U.S. authorities estimate some 247,000 acres of coca leaves, which are the raw ingredient offrom foreign crime groups.
Evidence suggests that drug trafficking organizations from Mexico are seeking new and qualified allies in South America, such as dissident FARC fronts that have refused to demobilize. The Sinaloa cartel has been accused of funding their old partners the Gulf Clan, as well as establishing ties with the National Liberation Army (ELN), another left-leaning guerrilla group seeking to occupy territory left vacant after the FARC armistice.
In addition to those major players the Mexican crime groups have also begun working with entrenched local gangs, such as Los Chatas and the Puntilleros, that control regional smuggling networks. In all, Aztec affiliates have been detected in at least 10 Colombian states, including the major urban centers around Bogotá, Medellín, and Cali.

Recent History of the British Go Championship
The British Go Championship is open to anyone with British
citizenship or with five years residence in Britain. Since 1993, this
included Shutai Zhang, who is a Chinese national and came to Britain
in 1988. In 1993, he defeated Matthew Macfadyen, and became British Go
Champion. He has retained the title every year until 1997.
In 1997, Shutai Zhang decided not to compete, leaving the title
match to be played between the two highest-placed players in the
Challenger's League. Some players qualified for this through the Candidates' Tournament.

Attorney General, 3 Leigh 450 (1828), that the Statute of Charitable Uses was abolished by the statute abrogating British laws, supra, and consequently, unspecific charitable trusts involving church property would of necessity fail in that jurisdiction. This occasioned the enactment of a statute in 1839 by the Virginia Assembly permitting trustees to hold property for religious organizations. Code of Virginia (1849) c. 77. This statute, reflecting subsequent amendments by the Virginia Assembly, was the immediate historical predecessor ofpersonal property. The body appointing may remove such trustee or trustees,. . ., and fill all vacancies caused by death, removal, or otherwise."
Section 6, Id. following, provides that the certificate of appointment of trustees shall be recorded in the clerk's office in the county where the church property is located.
Section 7 states further, inter alia, the power and responsibilities of duly appointed trustees in respect to church property: "The trustee or trustees of any church. . ., within this State," shall have power to take and hold real and personal property and to sue and be sued on account of the property they hold or claim.

Her Application for Cancellation of Removal and Adjustment of Status for Certain Nonpermanent Residents similarly indicates that she was "convicted" in 1990 for "Child Abuse," and that she "served [fifteen] days" in jail. Mota was again granted a continuance of her hearing.
On October 14, 2005, Mota appeared at her next scheduled hearing with a new attorney who informed the IJ that he would be requesting a continuance. The IJ stated that Mota's conviction documents established that she was statutorily ineligible for cancellation of removal under 8 *1167 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(1)(C), because she was convicted in 1990 of "Inflicting Injury Upon a Child," a violation of California Penal Code § 273d.to resolve other aspects of Mota's cancellation claim.

When Max Dale Cooper joined Robert Good's laboratory at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis in 1963, there were two camps in immunology. Neither was particularly fond of the other.
At the time, the central question in immunology was how vertebrates tailor their defences to bacteria and viruses, whose chemical structures show nearly unlimited diversity. Within two years of joining Good's laboratory, Cooper had made a discovery about the cells that accomplish this task — lymphocytes — that proved essential to cracking the mystery, and ultimately to unifying the camps of his field.
Fifty years ago this week, Good, Cooper and their colleague Raymond Peterson published a paper1 in this journal revealing that there are two types of lymphocyte. The insight shaped the course of modern immunologyis unique, or clonal, was becoming increasingly accepted. Each cell carries a unique surface receptor that, when bound by antigen, triggers the proliferation of that clone. This theory was developed in the late 1950s by Frank Macfarlane Burnet at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute (WEHI) of Medical Research in Melbourne, Australia, and David Talmage at the University of Chicago in Illinois2, 3. It gave immunology a conceptual framework, yet proof of its existence and its workings remained elusive.
In 1961, Jacques Miller, also at the WEHI, demonstrated that a mouse with its thymus removed did not reject skin grafts from different strains of mice, as the animals normally would4. This suggested that the thymus was a crucial source of cells that mediate phenomena such as rejection, but his | {

Ice ships carrying the blocks of Wenham Lake Ice sailed from America to India and Australia with a stopover in the Philippines.

Canada's Shapovalov upbeat ahead of U.S Open qualifying
(Reuters) - Canadian Denis Shapovalov took the tennis world by storm last week with a run to the semi-finals in Montreal that included a win over Rafa Nadal and the teenage sensation is now eager to replicate that success on a much bigger stage.
Having already achieved the goals he set for this year, the 18-year-old is oozing confidence in his bid to qualify for the Aug. 28-Sept. 10 U.S. Open and keep his magical season alive.
Shapovalov, who rocketed 76 spots higher to 67th in the world rankings this week, said his march to the Montreal semis, where he lost to eventual champion Alexander Zverev of Germany, gave him the belief that he can beat even the best players.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI - The Grand Rapids Community Legends Project on Friday, Sept. 27, unveiled its 11th sculpture, a much-awaited tribute to the pioneering research of three women who developed a vaccine for pertussis, known as whooping cough.
The sculpture titled “Adulation: The Future of Science,” features scientists Pearl Kendrick and Grace Eldering with their research assistant Loney Clinton Gordon. In an adjacent sculpture, gazing up at the public health legends, are two children.
The women are featured prominently at the Michigan State University Research Center, 400 Monroe Ave. NW. The sculpture, the work of Jay Hall Carpenter, fittingly faces Michigan Street – known as the Medical Mile.
“In 1932, 6,000 people died from whooping cough and it served as a call to action for three amazing women to say wemoved.
“It is a great sculpture!’’ said Shirley Redland, of Montana, Dr. Eldering’s niece, who attended with her daughter and son-in-law, Ruth and Al Baue, and her granddaughter, Alison Baue.
“She just loved science, loved her work and wanted to make a difference. It is beautiful. In this location, everyone can see it.’’
Redland said she particularly liked how Carpenter incorporated things such as the clipboard her aunt holds, and science tools used in their work including petri dishes and microscopes.
She also liked the addition of the children, a boy and girl, who represent the future generation of scientists, who stand in admiration of the women holding a bug jar and magnifying glass.

The presidency offered condolences to the families of dead Egyptian pilgrims in Medina, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday.
The nine Egyptians were among 12 dead and 130 injured in a hotel fire Saturday, according to a statement from the Egyptian foreign ministry. Sixty-one of those injured were Egyptian.
Prime Minister Hazem El-Beblawi also offered his condolences. The Minister of Civil Aviation said the ministry is cooperating with Egypt Air to bring the victims to Egypt.

“The history of my childhood is beyond what you can tell civilized people,” he once said, but he did so to keep alive the memories of his relatives and the 6 million Jews who were killed during the Holocaust.
Stephan Ross invoked images beyond nightmares when he spoke of his imprisonment as a boy in Nazi labor and death camps – 10 in all. He survived brutal beatings and ravaging illnesses and dashed away when told to wait in a line of those chosen to die.
Mr. Ross, the founder of the New England Holocaust Memorial in Boston, died Monday evening. Hehad lived in Newton for many years and previously lived in Dorchester and Jamaica Plain, after coming to America after World War II as a refugee orphan.
“Today Boston lost a giant, and the world quite honestly lost a giant,” Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh said Monday evening. “Here’s a man who could have given up several times in his life and he didn’t. I’m very sad today at the loss of Steve Ross.”
Part of Mr. Ross’s legacy can be seen in the memorial, which opened in 1995 in Union Street Park, near the Freedom Trail, City Hall, Faneuil Hall, and Quincy Market.

"authoritative list" when used in connection with the Bible. What we
call the Hebrew Canon consists of 24 books arranged in three major divisions:
the Law, the Prophets, and the Writings. Christian Bibles have 39 books,
because, following the early Greek and Latin translations, the Christian Bible
divides Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles into two books each, splits Ezra-Nehemiah
into two books, and breaks the Twelve into the twelve Minor Prophets.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is defending the Liberal Party's fundraising and accountability ethics amid a brewing controversy over a money-making event with his justice minister at a Bay Street law firm.
The $500-a-head reception featuring Minister of Justice and Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould is being hosted by Torys LLP, an international business law firm with offices in Toronto, Montreal, New York, Calgary and Halifax.
Cash raised at the event will go to the Liberal Party of Canada.
Commitment to ethics, accountability
Asked about whether he thinks that is appropriate, Trudeau did not address the specific event. Instead, he spoke of the party's general commitment to meet high standards for ethics and accountability.
"The federal government and the Liberal Party of Canada have very, very strict rules around fundraising. We do not permit unionthat no lobbyists are expected to attend.
"As one would expect, all MPs have a role to play in attending events for their political party," he added.
Duff Conacher, co-founder of Democracy Watch and visiting professor at the University of Ottawa, said if the prime minister won't enforce his own rules he is essentially "approving of corrupt relationships between donors and politicians."
"If Prime Minister Trudeau is trying to hide behind the federal political finance rules, he's hiding behind an unethical facade," he said. "It's a charade and it allows still, ministers to essentially be bought off by wealthy individuals."
NDP MP and critic for ethics and democratic reform Alexandre Boulerice urged the Liberals to change course and rethink fundraisers that rely on "preferential access" to cabinet ministers. | {

Bopp. UFO enthusiasts, such as remote viewing proponentCourtney Brown, soon concluded that there was an alien spacecraft following the comet.[51] Several astronomers, including Alan Hale,[52] claimed the object was simply an 8.5-magnitude star, SAO141894, which did not appear on Shramek's computer program because the user preferences were set incorrectly.[53]
Later, Art Bell even claimed to have obtained an image of theobject from an anonymous astrophysicist who was about to confirm its discovery. However, astronomers Olivier Hainaut and David J. Tholen of the University of Hawaii stated that the alleged photo was an altered copy of one of their own comet images.[54]

9. MY BLOODY VALENTINE // LOVELESS
Creation Records believed that My Bloody Valentine's second album Loveless would be recorded in a fast five days. Instead, it required 20 studios, multiple engineers, and 2.5 years for the critically loved album to be completed. By the time of its 1991 release, the record label was allegedly out $500,000, the excuse it used for dropping the band. But My Bloody Valentine's guitarist/vocalist Kevin Shields claimed the album never cost anything near that amount; Creation Records co-founder Alan McGee thought it would be "cool" to saythe record got financially out of control. Shields would admit to feeling dissatisfied with all of those studios, a perfectionism that contributed to My Bloody Valentine's follow-up album not being released until 2012.

“The truth is, that by and large, the world’s most popular and talented entertainers often come from the Flints all over this country,” said Grey’s Anatomy star/activist Jesse Williams. Williams was in Flint, Michigan, Sunday night with filmmaker Ryan Coogler, comedian Hannibal Buress and at least a dozen other performers, who traveled to the Rust Belt city to express solidarity with residents in the wake of a water crisis and to raise money at a #JusticeForFlint event.
The show was the same evening as the Academy Awards, which were under scrutiny for a lack of black nominees. Coogler, the writer and director of feature films including Fruitvale Station and Creed, insisted days before the show that despite the scheduling, the event was not a response to the awards show.and that this judgment
is to be definitively held by all the Church’s faithful.
It is simply not possible for the Magisterium to speak more clearly than that.
In fact Pope Francis himself seemed to say as much
during the in-flight interview following his visit to Sweden: “As for
the ordination of women in the Catholic Church, the last clear word was
given by Saint John Paul II, and this holds.”
It is telling that Fr. Pani, in suggesting a reopening of the
question, gave as his reason what he described as tensions between the
Church’s teaching and the work of theologians.
At the risk of slipping
down a rabbit hole, this grows curiouser and curiouser. Peculiar in the
extreme, this perpetuates a false view of theology that was developed by
dissident theologians during the twentieth-century, and still affects

ThisIn La-Roche-sur-Yon – a town in western France founded by Napoleon Bonaparte – locals can only dream of raising enough money to restore their most treasured landmark. The church of Saint Louis built in 1817 to honour the emperor needs €7m (£6.1m) to save its bells, belfries, and to install a fire alarm but a six-month appeal has raised little more than €1,000.

Saint Louis is not an internationally renowned Unesco World Heritage church like Notre Dame, but its fate, like an estimated 5,500 churches in France needing urgent but expensive repairs, is symbolic of the national divide.

I. Stubbs v. U.S.A.
Plaintiff is proceeding against the United States under the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2671 et seq., and the pendent state claim.
The only waiver of sovereign immunity that will support the exercise of subject matter jurisdiction over plaintiff's claim against the United States is the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). Therefore, the decisive issue before the Court is whetherChambers v. United States, 357 F.2d 224 (8th Cir.1966).
The Chambers and Miller cases are particularly illustrative. In Chambers, the plaintiff's decedent drowned while swimming in a pool located on a military base.

Even though the airman in Chambers was not engaged in the performance of a military duty, he was subject to military control and this served as the basis of the court's finding that drowning in the base swimming pool was "incident to service."

WILLIAMSTOWN, Ky. -- A group opposed to a new Noah's ark attraction in Kentucky says it is warning hundreds of public schools against visiting the Ark Encounter.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation said ark field trips would expose children to religious proselytizing in violation of the constitutional separation of church and state.
Foundation co-president Annie Laurie Gaylor told the Lexington Herald-Leader that warning letters went to more than 1,000 school districts in Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana and West Virginia.
Kentucky Education Commissioner Stephen Pruitt sent a message to school districts Monday in response saying that neither outside groups nor state education officials should dictate field trip selection. A school's site-based decision making council approves trips.
The Madison, Wisconsin-based group said it heard from parents concerned their districts will organize trips to theWhat Do You Know About Entertainment

A Texan chef shows there is a whole world of flavor beyond just barbecue. Smoke is a primer on the most time-tested culinary technique of all—but one that we have lost touch with. Chef Tim Byres shows how to imbue all kinds of foods—not just meat—with the irresistible flavor of smoke. Here he gives innovative ideas for easy ways to use smoke in your everyday kitchen arsenal of flavors—such as smoking safely on the stovetop with woodchips, putting together relishes and salsas made with smoked peppers and other vegetables, grilling with wood planks, and using smoke-cured meats to add layers of flavor to a dish.

A 2,700-year-old stash of whole marijuana plants was uncovered in an ancient tomb in northwest China. If marijuana aged like wine, the rare “artifact” may be one of the most wanted objects for all the pot smokers around the world, but according to the researchers, the weed had decomposed over the years and no one would feel any effects if they smoked it today.
Plant Placed Next to a Dead Caucasian Shaman
A team of archaeologists, led by Hongen Jiang from the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, found nearly two pounds of a dried plant that was still untouched after “hiding” for thousands of years underground. According to a study published in 2008 in the Journal of Experimental Botany , the green plant material found inside a 2,700-year-oldgrave from the Yanghai Tombs excavated in the Gobi Desert, turned out to be the oldest marijuana in the world. Interestingly, according to the archaeologists, the plant was placed near the head of a blue-eyed, 35-year-old Caucasian shaman among other objects like bridles and a harp to be used in the afterlife.

The fact that the plant had a chemical known for psychoactive properties called tetrahydrocannabinolic acid synthase, or THC, made scientists speculate that the man and his community most likely used it for medicinal and recreational purposes.

In the first six months of this year, more than 750 people have died from opioid overdoses in B.C. alone. Last year, nationwide, the total was nearly 2,500.
With so many people dying, the crisis is making a noticeable difference for those who need new organs to survive.
There has been a rise in the number of organ donations in the province. B.C. Transplant says in the first six weeks of this year, one in four organ donors in B.C. had fentanyl in their system when they were admitted to hospital.

Hidden Danger: Soldiers Dying From Electrocution A dozen soldiers in Iraq have died in short-circuit accidents, says congressman
March 20, 2008 -- During his two tours of duty serving as a special forces soldier in Iraq, Ryan D. Maseth had cheated death on more than a few occasions.
While protecting a Baghdad polling place in December 2005, he ran toward enemy fire to help his fellow soldiers and to repel the attack. And after a Humvee in his convoy once hit an improvised explosive device, Maseth escaped injury and apprehended the perpetrators.
But little did the staff sergeant know that when he stepped into the shower at his military base in Baghdad two months ago, he was putting his life at risk.
Maseth, 24, of Shaler, Pa., outside Pittsburgh, was electrocutedon Jan. 2 when an improperly grounded electric water pump short-circuited and flowed through the pipes. Since the coiled hose was touching his arm, he was hit with an electrical jolt and went into cardiac arrest and died.
Maseth's tragic death brings to 12 the number of soldiers who have died in Iraq due to accidental electrocution, according to Army and Marine e-mails obtained by Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif.
By comparison, there were 250 occupational fatalities due to electrocution among all workers in the United States in 2005, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Now Maseth's family and some members of Congress are demanding answers to their questions about why these tragic fatalities continue to occur despite the Pentagon's knowledge of the risks of electrocution since 2004.

Palestinian youth.
Za'ul emphatically denied that youth had ever thrown stones from his own house, though.
Two young Palestinian men have been shot and injured by Israeli forces that invaded Al-Far'a refugee camp north of the West Bank city Nablus on Saturday morning.
Eyewitnesses told Ma'an that seven Israeli military vehicles stormed the camp at 1:30am and opened fire at a group of youth in the center of the camp.
Palestinian Red Crescent medics said that they evacuated 17-year-old Imad Tayih who was shot in the thigh, and 23-year-old Thabit Raja who received a gunshot to the foot. Their wounds were described to be "moderate."
Local sources in the camp reported Israeli forces withdrew at 4:00am. No arrests have been reported.
Israeli forces have been targeting the camp over the past few days attemptingto assassinate or seize an activist affiliated with the Islamic Jihad's military wing, the Al-Quds Brigades. With this stated goal, the Israeli army has ransacked and searched dozens of homes in the camp.
Israeli forces on Friday evening raided the northern West Bank town of Azzun, east of Qalqilia, imposing a curfew, eyewitnesses told Ma'an.
Forces blocked the western entrance to the town, called Al-Izba. Last week, the northern entrance was blocked by Israeli forces. Witnesses confirmed that they saw infantry troops deployed around the town.
A week earlier, protesters removed a gate connected to the wall, which is now being used at a Palestinian parking lot in the city. An official with the Popular Committee Against the Wall said that such actions should be expected in the future.

Jerusalem
Arriving back in London was a bit of a shock. I left Jerusalem in lovely sunshine with the temperature around 25 degrees. It felt like summer! I arrived back in the dark, with the evidence of recent rain, a temperature of 9 degrees and evidence all around that winter was approaching. Driving into London we passed through a number of streets lit with Christmas lights and shops all dressed up with trees and fake snow.
As I put the television on (something I hadn’t done whilst away) the Festival of Remembrance was underway in the Royal Albert Hall and the usual procession in was taking place and the poppies were falling. I was home.
Remembrance Sunday is the occasion when many people pause and think. That two-minute silenceof our tradition, and because most people don’t get to go to the place themselves, it can remain on that level, the city that we talk about in the church all the time, idealise, theologise. But Jerusalem is real.
After the marching had ended and the procession of the choir and the Bishop of Carlisle had entered the Royal Albert Hall, the audience, now a congregation, joined in lustily singing ‘Jerusalem’ to the rousing tune that Sir Hubert Parry composed 100 years ago. As the hymn was sung what was going through the minds of those who filled that great arena – perhaps more fantasy than reality as far as Jerusalem, the city of peace that longs for peace, was concerned.

Against Palace Seri controlled the midfielder, working hard both defensively and in attack; cleaning up in front of the back four making tackles and interceptions and linking well with Ryan Sessegnon and Andre Schurrle.
At half time the midfielder had made the joint most touches and joint most interceptions of anyone on the pitch. And by the end of the game 90 per cent of every pass he attempted found its target.
But it wasn't just Seri's technical ability that caught the eye. To boss a midfield you have tobe energetic, hard-working, quick and strong.
Seri proved he is all of these things, making him perfect for the Premier League. He slowed the game's tempo when necessary, he tricked defenders with skilful turns, he pressed hard and closed players down quickly, and he won second balls all over the pitch.
The final result was an early wake up call for Fulham, no doubt, but in Seri they have a player who has hit the ground running.

"Based on the assessment of the internal security situation, training requirements, the need for paramilitary troops to be rotated for rest and recuperation, induction and de-induction of central forces is a continuous and dynamic process," the sources said.

He was relieved of the Rangers captaincy as a result, and a period of rehabilitation in France with Marseilles followed. But he was back at Loftus Road the following season, restored to the captaincy by Harry Redknapp to help QPR – who had been relegated in his absence – gain promotion back into the Premiership.
And therein lies the conundrum. Joey Barton is unquestionably a powerful presence, but he is one that can be galvanising or divisive depending on the circumstances. His temperament may suit a promotion push far better than a fight against relegation – a rearguard action, grinding out results, requires a different kind of leader on the pitch;best we can to deal with the current situation and to try to stop the oil from flowing and to then clean it up."

Life and Death (1976) he combined intimate studies of his rarefied downtown coterie (painters, performers, choreographers, and writers such as Sontag and William S. Burroughs) with portraits of mummies in the Palermo Catacombs that he had made during a visit with Thek thirteen years earlier. His focus on mortality would intensify and find its purpose in the 1980s, when the AIDS epidemic ravaged gay populations in New York and worldwide.
Briefly a lover and subsequently a mentor to the young artist David Wojnarowicz, in his last seven years Hujar continued chronicling a creative downtown subculture that was fast becoming unsustainable in the context of the increasing power of money. His most frequent subject in these years was his neighbour and friend Ethyl Eichelberger, a drag performer whom he called“the greatest actor in America.” With Wojnarowicz, Hujar made expeditions to the depressed areas around New York, photographing industrial ruins in Queens, neighbourhoods of Newark, New Jersey, that had been destroyed in the riots of the late 1960s, and the abandoned Hudson River piers of lower Manhattan, sites of sexual exploits by night and guerilla art installations by day. Hujar died in New York on Thanksgiving Day, 1987, around eleven months after being diagnosed with AIDS.
Throughout his life Hujar stubbornly aligned himself with what he called the “All-In people”: artists committed to a creative course all their own, unconcerned with mass-market acclaim. At the same time he both disdained and bitterly wished for public recognition such as that achieved by his famous contemporaries Diane Arbus – eleven years | {

Adidas New Zealand refuses to reduce its wholesale price of the All Blacks jersey but says the move by retailers to reduce their price is "good for consumers".
The company has been criticised by sports retailers, fans, rugby legends and politicians for selling the jerseys at a higher price in New Zealand than overseas.
Adidas New Zealand manager David Huggett said he accepted that some retailers were upset adidas had chosen not to discount its wholesale price to retailers, but it was ultimately up to retailers to set market prices.

An unmistakably shoestring digital video feature with the heart of a lesser "Twilight Zone" episode, "Final" is an uneven, low-impact brain teaser about a mental patient (Denis Leary) who is convinced he was cryogenically frozen in 1999 and is now a prisoner in the distant future, scheduled to die in a government experiment.
It's an enticing psychological talker, most of which takes place in Leary's sterile, near-empty ward as he and his outwardly compassionate doctor (Hope Davis) dodge and parry through a battle of wills over his vivid but incomplete delusions. Unstable and plagued by flashbacks of events surrounding a trauma the doc claims was only a few weeks ago, Leary is adamant in his belief that she's only there to brainwash him into givingone season. The 21-year-old Williams has plenty of potential to grow into the star that many projected when he entered the draft after his sophomore season at Arizona.
As part of their latest run for Gasol, the Timberwolves tried to turn Williams into the Bobcats’ second overall pick in Thursday’s draft, which would have been sent to Los Angeles in a possible Gasol deal. The Lakers had been reported as hoping to move into the top of the draft somehow in hopes of taking Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. MKG went to the Bobcats with that second pick.
However, the Lakers, for better or worse, reportedly expect to see an established, veteran player additionally sent along in any Gasol trade. The Timberwolves have a few players who fit that bill (namely J.J. Barea), | {

Divers have discovered an unusual flat-faced fish with forward-looking eyes that may represent an entirely new piscine family. If so, researchers say, it would be one of only a handful of new fish families found in the past 50 years. First photographed in January off Ambon Island, Indonesia, the critter has crooked, leglike pectoral fins on its sides—typical of anglerfish, which crawl or walk along the seafloor. Unlike others of its kind, however, which typically use lures on their heads to attract prey, this new flathead works its pliable body into crevices and cracks of coral reefs in search of food. Researchers say that DNA testing is needed to determine whether this zebra-striped fish will inaugurate a 19th family of anglerfish, or whether | {

The Nuggets had a decent season last year, outperforming Vegas' expectation by 4.5 games. Although the team missed the playoffs for the 3rd straight year, the team took a step forward for the first time since 2013. Michael Malone helped change the culture and vibe around Pepsi Center, rookies Nikola Jokic and Emmaneul Mudiay made leaps throughout the season, and the roster continued to take shape around guys like Danilo Gallinari, Gary Harris, and Kenneth Faried.
There were plenty of bumps along the way. The team suffered a few embarrassing losses to bad teams like the Lakers, Suns, and Nets, and even went on an eight-game losing streak in late November. But it was clear to anyone that followed the team in the years before last season that theNuggets had turned a corner and have begun building something exciting around a mixture of young talents and quality veterans. In the off-season, the Nuggets added a few rookies and lost a few bench players to trades and free agency but for the most part, the team's roster next season will be very similar to what it was last year.
However, don't expect the same 33-win result. The Nuggets are in great position to make a leap next year and continue to climb the standings. Here are five reasons why the team should improve.

Four years ago, Anna Frebel, a young astronomer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, found an ancient star in a neighboring galaxy whose chemical composition proved nearly identical to some unusual stars on the outskirts of our own galaxy, which are older than the Milky Way itself.
It was a striking discovery, suggesting that the relatively young Milky Way is growing by conquest — “cannibalizing” nearby older dwarf galaxies. And it underscored the importance of a new way of learning how the universe evolved from the Big Bang to the modern cosmos.
Traditionally, astronomers study the early universe by looking back in time — peering deeper and deeper into space for vestiges of light from billions of years ago. But in the last decade, Dr. Frebel and others have usedgarden was enlarged and the space for out-of-door games thus extended; a house was taken opposite the School-building where a Kindergarten class and a Junior School for day-pupils was established. Structural alterations and additions were also made from time to time to meet the requirements of extra accommodation or increasing numbers. Harrison took keen interest in the plans for an extensive new wing which was finished the year after she left the School.
The Mount School was famed for its many out-of-school interests and pursuits. Before Harrison's day there were already a Natural History Society with various branches, a Poetry Learning Association (known as P.L.A.), and a Debating Society. During her time there arose and flourished Societies for Archaeology, Astronomy, Meteorology, Photography, and others.

CREEPY: Angelina Jolie is the mistress of all evil in Maleficent. SHE’S on the verge of turning 40, revered by many as one of the most stunningly beautiful women in the world, daughter of Hollywood royalty, hands-on humanitarian and an Academy Award winner.
Yes, it’s tough being Angelina Jolie. But she’s trying.
Jolie’s new film, Maleficent, is a family-friendly reworking of the classic Disney tale of Sleeping Beauty through the main viewpoint of Maleficent, the mistress of all evil.
As one of Disney’s most sinister villains, Angelina has the perfect look straight from the 1959 classic, although this time it is suggested she may have a bit of compassion for young Princess Aurora, who is under her nasty spell.
Having only watched again the original animated Sleepingdoctor character during the sting. And, Gia, a made-for-television chronicle on a former fashion model affected with AIDS.
Jolie’s first Oscar, for best supporting actress, came for the 1999 drama Girl Interrupted. She was truly endearingly tragic as a psych patient opposite a grand cast including Winona Ryder, Brittany Murphy, Elizabeth Moss and Whoopie Goldberg.
It was a role which projected her into stardom and unfortunately led to Tomb Raider.
1999 was a big year for her, with a brilliant dark turn opposite Denzel Washington in The Bone Collector then a smaller film which flopped at the box office but just happened to star her next husband, Billy Bob Thornton.

Karzai lobs new curveball on U.S.-Afghan security agreement
David Zucchino
KABUL, Afghanistan — He expressed outrage, sarcasm and black humor. He cast himself as a lonely voice defending his country's pride and sovereignty against American arrogance.
After a frantic week of last-minute negotiations, Afghan President Hamid Karzai delivered a tepid endorsement Thursday of a proposed 10-year security pact with the United States in a rambling speech to an Afghan tribal gathering. But he then surprised attendees — and the world — by saying Afghanistan might not sign the accord until next spring.
Karzai told the 2,700 Afghan delegates to the assembly, known as a loya jirga, that the agreement was vital to Afghanistan's future security. But he complained bitterly about his dysfunctional relationship with the United States and suggested that his successorapparent reference to depictions of Karzai by some American officials as corrupt, cunning and unreliable.
Karzai's comments set off a blast of Twitter posts by Afghans even before he had finished speaking. The address was broadcast live, with people gathered around television sets at home and in barber shops during a six-day loya jirga holiday declared by Karzai.
Karzai did not seem inclined to temper his criticism, even with U.S. Ambassador James B. Cunningham and Marine Gen. Joseph F. Dunford Jr., the top commander here, in the audience.
The agreement would create a much smaller U.S. force, primarily for training and counter-terrorism, after combat troops withdraw by the end of 2014. But it commits the United States to another decade of expensive support after the longest war in U.S. history, a | {

Approximately 75,000 women and young girls were recruited from Stalingrad for military training. 1 incessantly. The attack came from the northern sector of the city, one that was least expected by the Soviets.
On 28th June 1942, the German Group A attacked the southern parts of Russia through the vast stretch of steppes. Hitler also wanted to ensure that the material being delivered under America’s ‘Lend-Lease’ or ‘An Act to Further Promote the Defenseof the United States’ to Russia would not be allowed to pass through the Persian Corridor.
By 26th January, the Germans had stationed their men at the northern and southern pockets of Stalingrad, which were under the command of General Walter Heitz and Paulus respectively. These women showed extraordinary courage in the line of fire. The tanks were usually manned by the very workers who had volunteered to assemble them at the workshop.
Most often, these tanks were used without paint and sometimes even lacking gun sights. Most of the city was turned to dust and several factories were completely destroyed.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - A Northern California sheriff's office on Thursday arrested three 16-year-old boys on accusations that they sexually battered 15-year-old Audrie Pott, who hanged herself eight days after the attack last fall.
Santa Clara County Sheriff's Lt. Jose Cardoza said it arrested two of the teens at Saratoga High School and the third at Christopher High School in Gilroy.
The victim's family attorney Robert Allard said students shared photos of the attack on cellphones. Pott posted on Facebook that her life was "ruined" and that she was going through her "worst day ever" shortly before she commit suicide, Allard said.
"The family has been trying to understand why their loving daughter would have taken her life at such a young age andto make sure that those responsible would be held accountable," Allard said.
"After an extensive investigation that we have conducted on behalf of the family, there is no doubt in our minds that the victim, then only 15 years old, was savagely assaulted by her fellow high school students while she lay on a bed completely unconscious."
Cardoza said the suspects were booked into juvenile hall and face two felonies and one misdemeanor each, all related to sexual battery that allegedly occurred at a Saratoga house party.
The lieutenant said the arrests were the result of information gathered by his agency's Saratoga High School resource officers. He said the investigation is ongoing, and Los Gatos police also continue looking into the girl's September suicide.
