Rick Kuehn ’01 has had many defining moments in his life. For more than six years, he served on active duty with the Air Force and had a host of duties while deployed: a C-17 instructor pilot; chief of tactics in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan; and chief of squadron current operations. The day after his active duty ended, he was commissioned as a major into the Air Force Reserves. He’s also served as a disaster responder with the American Red Cross of Greater New York, currently instructing their disaster training classes.

Whoever Obama chooses will face resistance from the Republican-controlled House. Bob Dean, a spokesman at the Natural Resources Defense Council, told me that the biggest challenge for the next EPA chief will come from mostly Republican legislators who hold "entrenched anti-environment position on ideological grounds". In contrast to the nearly 40 years of bipartisan cooperation on the environment, Dean says recent years have seen "one vote after another to undermine and delay needed regulations".

Jackson "left as a matter of conscience," according to Jeff Tittel, the director of New Jersey's Sierra Club chapter and a longtime friend of the EPA administrator.

She is a wonderful friend and mentor to so many people, especially young women, whom she has inspired to pursue careers in aviation.
You may also know her as the first female African-American captain for a major U.S. airline. As someone who has managed to break one of the highest glass ceilings there is — at 35,000 feet — her example of perseverance and professionalism is something that we can all be proud to have United associated with. I know I feel honored to be her colleague. But, it also shows how far we haveyet to go before true equality of opportunity is the expectation, not the rare exception.
M’Lis’ story teaches us something else that I think is important as we observe Black History Month in the United States this February. To be sure, we ought to reflect on the long arc of history through which our African-American brothers and sisters have marched in order to achieve greater civil, racial and economic justice in the United States. We are also poignantly reminded of the tragic nature of much of that history, especially as we observe the 50th anniversary of the tumultuous events that marked the year 1968, culminating in the loss of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

'Those queueing up to criticise the Guardian should tell the US to look at its own security, and ask why a junior CIA official turned private contractor possessed so much sensitive information.' Photograph: Uncredited/AP
Britain's spooks are striking back. Weeks, months, after the Guardian, Washington Post and German magazine der Spiegel, published documents about the massive surveillance operations of GCHQ and its close US electronic eavesdropping partner, the National Security Agency, they are saying the leaks have done more damage than the infamous Cambridge spy ring. Indeed, they suggest, the full extent of the damage done may never be fully assessed.
Sir David Omand, a former GCHQ director, told the Times newspaper today that the leaks by former CIA contractor Edward Snowden was "the most catastrophic loss to British intelligenceever, much worse than [Guy] Burgess and [Donald] MacLean in the 50s".
Yet when Vince Cable was asked what he thought about the decision to publish leaked material, the business secretary told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that the Guardian had performed "a very considerable public service". He called for "proper political oversight" of the security and intelligence agencies. Then a few hours later, Nigel Inkster, a former deputy chief of MI6, told BBC Radio 4's World at One programme that the Snowden leaks were "comparable" to those by the Cambridge spies, "only worse". Yet last month he played down the impact of the leaks, described them as "very embarrassing, uncomfortable, and unfortunate". He added, clearly referring to al-Qaida-inspired terrorists: "I sense that those most interested in the activities | {

Romney targets Obama in speech on economic freedom
Romney, the front-runner in the Republican presidential race, on Monday blamed Obama's economic policies for a "tepid" recovery. Romney outlined a plan for less government regulation and lower taxes to speed things up.
Romney focused on Obama and his own plan to expand economic freedom in a speech at the University of Chicago, a day before Illinois holds the GOP's latest high-profile presidential primary. Obama was a lecturer at the same college for more than a decade.
Romney says Obama's "assault on our economic freedom" would have stifled famous inventers like Steve Jobs and the Wright Brothers.
Romney didn't offer many specifics in his speech for how he'd change things.A newborn Indian girl has been left unwanted as her presumed parents seek custody of a baby boy handed to them by mistake, officials say.
The two babies were born on the same night in a hospital in the western Indian city of Jodhpur a week ago.
The couple refused to accept the girl after accidentally being given the boy, who belongs to another couple, the hospital says.
Indian society has a long history of discrimination against girls.
The pair, Poonam Kanwar and her husband, Chain Singh, have rejected the findings of a blood test suggesting that the girl is theirs, officials at the Umaid Hospital said.

San Diego, CA – Authorities on Wednesday circulated surveillance camera images of a youth sought for beating up a 52-year-old man at a La Mesa transit depot.
The victim had just exited a trolley about 8 p.m. June 13 when the assailant jumped him, punching him until he fell to the ground and then kicking him in the head, according to police.
By the time officers arrived, the attacker had fled, Lt. Angela DeSarro said. Police do not know why the victim was targeted.
The man, whose name was withheld, was taken to Alvarado Hospital, where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Story highlights
(CNN)The Supreme Court on Saturday allowed an Arizona law barring organizers from picking up ballots and delivering them to election stations to remain in effect.
The ruling is a blow to Democrats in the state who say the law could disenfranchise thousands of voters, especially in minority communities that rely upon neighbors and activists to collect and hand-deliver the ballots.
Friday, a 6-5 ruling by the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals granted a preliminary injunction of the law; the Supreme Court's order stays that decision. There were no noted dissents.
In Arizona, voters can request an early ballot to be sent to them before the election. The voters can then mail it back or drop it off at a polling locations as long as it is received by 7Court Saturday morning.
Arizona Secretary of State Michele Reagan praised the decision.
"We are extremely pleased the Supreme Court reversed the ninth circuit's decision, Reagan said in a statement. "This commonsense law simply ensures ballot security in the state of Arizona and we're relived that there will be no changes to the law this late in the election cycle. "
In briefs filed by lawyers for the Arizona, lawyers had argued that the law "will not actually have a discriminatory impact or anything more than a minimal burden on the right to vote," and lambasted the appeals court for blocking the "sensible" law so close to the election.

The CEO of SNC-Lavalin says the company plans to "vigorously defend" itself in the court case as the centre of the unfolding political scandal in Ottawa, and says the company's hard-working employees are being used "as pucks in a political hockey game."
Neil Bruce made the comments on a conference call with analysts on Friday, after the company posted its quarterly results.
While SNC wants to focus on the company's financial performance, the narrative around the company has been hijacked in recent weeks over allegations that the Prime Minister's Office had unduly tried to influence then attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould into allowing the company to settle allegations it bribed foreign officials to secure work in 2012.

Everyone was openly petrified that he would play; this space predicted Courtney Avery would start and Countess would usurp Floyd's spot posthaste. Instead Countess usurped Avery's spot and Floyd developed into a pretty good Big Ten corner.

The highlight was his game-sealing interception against AJ Jenkins…

Mary Harris “Mother” Jones was an Irish-American schoolteacher and dressmaker who became a prominent labor and community organizer. She helped coordinate major strikes and cofounded the Industrial Workers of the World. Jones worked as a teacher and dressmaker, but after her husband and four children all died of yellow fever in 1867 and her dress shop was destroyed in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, she began working as an organizer for the Knights of Labor and the United Mine Workers union. From 1897, at about 60 years of age, she wasknown as Mother Jones. In 1902 she was called “the most dangerous woman in America” for her success in organizing mine workers and their families against the mine owners. In 1903, to protest the lax enforcement of the child labor laws in the Pennsylvania mines and silk mills, she organized a children’s march from Philadelphia to the home of President Theodore Roosevelt in New York.

Fat Grafting in the Management of War Injuries.
The healing potential of fat grafting was empirically noted by the surgeons who were confronted with the dramatic facial disfigurements resulting from World War 1. Fat was transplanted into the wounds either en bloc or in parcels to promote the healing capacity or to correct the uneven, depressed scars from gunshot wounds, enabling the poor soldiers to step back to society and families in a shorter period of time.The idea of transplanting fat into the wound of the facially disfigured started with Hippolyte Morestin (1869-1919), surgeon in chief at Val-de Grace Military Hospital in Paris and was widely adopted by HD Gillies (1882-1960), Erich Lexer (1867-1937), Gustavo Sanvenero Rosselli (1897-1974), and others, achieving amazing results.

in contact with a number of Libyan officials in recent weeks in behind-the-scenes diplomacy, according to a spokesman for David Cameron. He stressed that Britain had not been negotiating any possible trade-offs aimed at sealing Gaddafi's exit from power. "There are no deals."
The disclosure of the dialogue came as the revolutionary leadership in the east laid down conditions for a ceasefire, after a visit by the UN's special envoy Abdelilah al-Khatib to the rebel capital, Benghazi.
"We agree on a ceasefire on the condition that our brothers in the western cities have freedom of expression and also that the forces that are besieging the cities withdraw," said one of the leadership, Mustafa Abdul Jalil. "Our aim is to liberate and have sovereignty over all of Libya."
The rebels' initiatives wereannounced as the first credible report of civilian casualties from the western air campaign emerged. Suleiman Refadi, a doctor who has worked with the rebels, told reporters that seven civilians, including three girls from the same family aged 12 to 16, were killed on Wednesday in an air strike.
Refadi said three youths and a fourth girl were also killed when missiles hit a government ammunition lorry and destroyed two houses about nine miles from Brega and what is now the frontline. About 25 people were injured. The report was not independently confirmed.
In Tripoli, gunfire was heard near Gaddafi's compound. Reuters reported that residents said they saw snipers on rooftops and pools of blood on the streets.

Parents Sue School District For Strip-Searching Their 10 Year-Old Son
The parents of 10 year-old J.C. Cox have sued a North Carolina public school district for allegedly strip-searching their son in search of a $20 bill lost by another student.
J.C. had twice told school officials he did not have the missing money, which was later found in the school cafeteria, attorneys for the Rutherford Institute said announcing the complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina.
Institute attorneys charge that a former Union Elementary School assistant principal violated J.C.'s Fourth Amendment rights when she allegedly ordered the fifth grader to disrobe down to his underwear and subjected him to an aggressive strip-search that included rimming the edge of his underwear.

Their first commercial jet, the 707, was twice as fast as the propeller-driven models that preceded it and airline pilots sometimes found it challenging to fly. In the first three years of its life 19 pilots were killed in 707 training flight crashes.

The "sick man of Asia" may need a return visit to the economic emergency room.
The Philippines managed to shed that dreaded moniker thanks to the tender care of Benigno Aquino's intensive care team from 2010 to 2016.
President Aquino brought the national balance sheet under control, took a scalpel to corruption, unclogged Manila's commercial arteries and bequeathed to the next shift a patient rallying toward revival.
Unfortunately, his successor, Rodrigo Duterte, has skipped more than a few ward rounds in these last 860-plus days. Rather than tap new methods to increase competitiveness, curb graft and strengthen institutions, Duterte engaged in a ghastly war on drugs and authoritarian bombast.
The costs of his economic neglect are swelling by the day: the slowest growth in three years; the worst consumption trends in four;and the highest inflation in almost a decade. The peso has plunged 6.4% since January and the central bank is rushing to implement the most aggressive monetary regimen since 2000.
The parallel should worry investors and corporate executives alike. The last time Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas hit the brakes this hard -- 150 basis points so far in 2018 -- Joseph Estrada was literally being chased out of the presidential palace. Filipinos will tolerate a lot from their leaders, but not runaway inflation. Then, as now, skyrocketing costs are threatening the president's political standing.
Estrada was impeached in 2001 on plunder charges. But it was economic angst that arguably turned the nation of 105 million people against him. Few see Duterte traveling a similar arc. But an unmistakable whiff of | {

defendant in the murder of Tommy Buckner. After talking to Stoner, police again contacted defendant. Defendant agreed to accompany police personnel to the police department. Defendant was taken to a conference room. He was given the Miranda[2] warning, after which defendant gave statements that differed from what he had previously told police. The statements were incriminatory. Defendant admitted firing shots at the car in which Buckner was travelling. He stated he put the gun he used in the ceiling in his mother's room at her house. After defendant told the location of the gun, a search warrant was obtained and served at defendant's mother's house. Defendant went with the officers. He took the officers who served the warrant to the room he identified as the location of theat the preliminary hearing of Rodney Potts and after he had become a suspect. It was a custodial interrogation. Defendant was advised of his Miranda rights before he was questioned.
Defendant complains that the threat of the death penalty and the expression that a relative of the victim who he was suspected of murdering was at the jail where he would be housed coerced his statement. A statement that a suspect could face the death penalty does not constitute a threat, but is a permissible observation of the possible consequences of first degree murder. State v.

Wrestlemania Collection
8 WRESTLEMANIA EVENTS ON 8 DVD'S A world indoor attendance-record set of 93,173 fans was set at WrestleMania III, which was also the largest paying attendance in the history of professional wrestling at the time. The event iswidely considered to be the pinnacle of the 1980s wrestling boom. To make certain that every seat in the Silverdome would be filled, the WWF decided to exclude the entire state of Michigan from pay-per-view access to the event, which made attending the event the only way for fans in Michigan to see it. The main event featured Hogan defending the WWF Championship against André the Giant. The moment when Hogan body slammed André the Giant remains one of the most famous moments in professional wrestling history. The match between the WWF Intercontinental Champion Randy Savage and Ricky Steamboat also gained much acclaim and popularity.

Former New England Patriots wide receiver Antonio Brown appeared in South Florida on Tuesday for a deposition after he was accused of throwing furniture from his condo balcony and trashing his place in April 2018.
Video from the Sunny Isles condo complex, first obtained by WSVN-TV, shows furniture falling from the sky and into the pool and onto the pool deck.
ANTONIO BROWN BACK TO SCHOOL AT CENTRAL MICHIGAN AFTER PATRIOTS RELEASE
It didn’t appear that anyone was injured in the incident. Video shows workers and sunbathers running for cover as the furniture began to rain down on them.
Acqualina 1402 LLC filed a lawsuit against Brown over the damage caused. George A. Minski, the attorney representing the condo, told WSVN-TV that the free-agent wide receiver tossed the items from the balconypieces of furniture but Minski claims there was up to $80,000 in damages and the company had to renovate the unit for three months.
Brown had also faced a lawsuit in the same incident. A man sued the wide receiver for throwing the furniture claiming a piece nearly hit his child. That matter was settled out of court.

Brown was released by the Patriots last week after a tumultuous 11-day tenure with the team. He faces a civil lawsuit from a former trainer which accuses him of raping and sexually assaulting her on three separate occasions from 2017 to 2018. He was also accused in a Sports Illustrated story of sexually assaulting a woman and then allegedly sending her intimidating texts.

Cinematography
Cinematography is the art of lighting and photographing a film. The cinematographer or director of photography works with the director to ensure that all the visual aspects of a film contribute to and enhance its overall meaning and purpose.
It is the process of taking ideas, actions, emotional subtext, tone and all other forms of non-verbal communication and rendering them in visual terms.Blain Brown, 2002
The rules and conventions that underpin the practice of cinematography have developed with the feature film industry and have become naturalised as a form of language shared between filmmakers and their audiences. The cinematographer uses this complex visual language to create effects, express ideas and provoke emotional, intellectual and aesthetic responses.Patriots Release TE Bo Scaife and OL Mike Ingersoll

Sebastian Vettel expects a number of pit stops to be required during the Spanish Grand Prix due to high track temperatures.
Temperatures on the track surface touched 44C during Friday's practice sessions and lead to a number of cars running off-track in FP2. While insisting he was happy with the way Red Bull's schedule had gone, Vettel said that the track conditions would make the race difficult for the drivers to preserve their tyres.

The defense did not object.
The State called Officer Spears as its first witness. the trial court

was taking any risk that would require a mistrial nor did she think that she had done anything
that was objectionable. Under oath, she denied that she had been aware of, but consciously
disregarded, the risk that an objectionable event for which she was responsible would
require a mistrial at the defendant's request. She testified that she was not attempting to
secure a mistrial and she had no belief that her questions to Officer Spears would cause a

Assessing the Costs and Consequences of the 2007-09 Financial Crisis and Its Aftermath
David Luttrell, Tyler Atkinson and Harvey Rosenblum
Vol. 8, No. 7, September 2013
A confluence of factors produced the December 2007–June 2009 Great Recession—bad bank loans, improper credit ratings, lax regulatory policies and misguided government incentives that encouraged reckless borrowing and lending.
The worst downturn in the United States since the 1930s was distinctive. Easy credit standards and abundant financing fueled a boom-period expansion that was followed by an epic bust with enormous negative economic spillover.
Despite extensive reviews of the causes and consequences of the most recent financial crisis, there are few estimates of what it cost—the value of what society gave up. Such a figure would help determine the relative expense of policy proposals designed to avoid futureEarl F. Hilliard for allegedly defaulting on payments due under a real estate mortgage note. The case was settled pursuant to an agreement executed in November 1989.
The plaintiffs filed a motion to enforce the terms of the settlement agreement on June 27, 1990. The trial court scheduled a hearing on the motion for August 23, 1990. On July 30, 1989, the plaintiffs filed an amendment to the motion and filed a motion for summary judgment. The hearing on the amended motion and on the summary judgment motion was then set for August 9, 1990.
On August 9, 1990, the trial court entered a summary judgment in favor of the plaintiffs with leave to prove damages. We note that Hilliard's counsel failed to attend this hearing.

Craig issued the money from the City of Halifax District Capital Fund, a discretionary fund that allots $94,000 to each councillor annually to distribute to community groups.
The report says there were several potential problems with the cheque, including that it could have been used to buy votes and that the delivery of the funds could have constituted a form of election advertising.
The investigation cleared Craig of the alleged breaches, concluding that he gave the money as part of his council responsibilities without meaning to promote his election bid.

It was Hope’s third of four catches in the innings so far in a role he would not have expected overnight as a lingering ankle injury to regular wicketkeeper Shane Dowrich ruled the first-choice gloveman out of the match.
Roach, who ended the day with figures of three for 34 off 17 overs, seized the initiative for the West Indies at the start of play when he dismissed Mayank Agarwal and Cheteshwar Pujara in the fifth over while Gabriel accounted for the prized wicket of captain Virat Kohli (nine).
On a surface freshened by early morning rain and offering encouragement to the new ball bowlers, Roach induced edges from both Agarwal and Pujara for catches by Hope.

Wanda Nara is the reason why Real Madrid did not sign Icardi Football Behaviour of the Argentine agent scared Los Blancos away from a potential deal
Inter's season has been rocked by the developing situation involving Mauro Icardi and his wife-turned-agent, Wanda Nara, with it actually being the Argentine media personality the reason why Real Madrid did not sign the forward.
Icardi has been perennially linked with a move to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu as his performances in Serie A have improved, yet Los Blancos have repeatedly rebuffed such links due to a concern over the behaviour of his agent.
Her combative attitude to contract negotiations has left those in power at the Nerazzurri exasperated, and this came to a head when the Italian club released an official statement making clearIcardi had been stripped of his captaincy, with Samir Handanovic taking over on a permanent basis.
As well as the difficult nature of contract extension talks, the Milan club have been left livid by Wanda's rather public criticisms of their transfer policy, as well as style on the pitch.
After being informed that he had been stripped of the captaincy, Icardi then refused to travel to Vienna for the club's Europa League tie on Thursday.
January 2018 was a time when Los Merengues seriously considered making an offer for the Argentine goal-scorer, yet they now believe their decision to park negotiations as a direct result of Wanda's behaviour has been vindicated.
Icardi's teammates have also been left chagrined by criticisms aimed at them on television from the agent, and this has damaged | {

BOSTON (AP) — The selection of a jury for the long-awaited trial of reputed Boston crime boss James "Whitey" Bulger may end up being most notable for how routine it appears despite the notoriety of the case and the outsized tales of the man at its center.
Jurors in the Bulger case won't be sequestered, unlike some other high-profile organized crime trials. However, the seated jurors will be referred to by numbers, and their identities won't be revealed until after the verdict is announced.
Perhaps the biggest challenge will be finding 18 people who can spend the next four months hearing testimony about a long list of allegations against Bulger, including charges that he played a role in killing 19 people.

The project was set back first by oil pollution found at the site, then by a lawsuit that environmentalists filed over about 500 milk-vetch plants apparently dumped on the property many years ago. The plant was once considered extinct, and its discovery prompted another delay as environmentalists and North Shore worked out an agreement that would protect the species.

Tottenham have offered Jermain Defoe to Aston Villa in a cash-plus-player exchange for Christian Benteke.
In a shock move, the north Londoners have proposed what could be one of the biggest deals of the summer as they bid to offload the England striker and fans' favourite, who is surplus to requirements at White Hart Lane.
Villa have so far rejected the chance to sign 30-year-old Defoe and remain intent on persuading Benteke to put pen to paper on a new long-term contract.
But the 22-year-old Belgian - who scored 19 league goals in his debut season of Englishfootball to save Villa from relegation - is also a target for Atletico Madrid, who have indicated to the Villans they are ready to bid £25million for him, and Arsenal.
Atletico see Benteke as their No.1 target to replace Colombian superstar Radamel Falcao after his £50m move to Monaco.
Their coach, Diego Simeone, and director general, Miguel Angel Gil Marin, have held talks with Villa and told the Midlands club they want an answer within 10 days.
But Spurs are desperate to steal a march on their rivals and offered Defoe - who they value at around £7m - two weeks ago in a bid to sweeten a deal.

Analysis of a 440-year-old document reveals new details about native population decline in the heartland of the Inca Empire following Spanish conquest in the 16th century.
According to the analysis, the native Andean population in the Yucay Valley of Peru showed a remarkable ability to bounce back in the short term from the disease, warfare, and famine that accompanied the initial Spanish invasion. However, it was the repetition of such disasters generation after generation, along with overly rigid colonial administration, that dramatically reduced the population over the long term.
The research, by R. Alan Covey (Southern Methodist University), Geoff Childs (Washington University in St. Louis), and Rebecca Kippen (University of Melbourne), is published in the June issue of the journal Current Anthropology.
The analysis is based on an unusually detailed surveyof the native population taken by the valley's parish priest in 1569 and copied by a royal official during a 1571 visit. Most surviving Spanish documents recording native population from this time included only a few age and sex categories, but this one counted individual men, women, and children in more than 800 households. As such, it provides researchers with a rare snapshot of a rural native population under colonial rule, and sheds light on the demographic pressures they faced.
Several aspects of the census data are indicative of the hardships the native population faced, Covey and his team report. First, there were many more women than men aged 45 to 64, likely due to the most intense fighting of the first years of the colonial period, which occurred | {

The headquarters of Morales' National Convergence Front (FCN) party erupted in celebration with live music and dozens of revellers.

A man has been shot dead in Co Meath this afternoon in an attack believed to be linked to the activities of the Real IRA.
The incident occurred just after 2.30pm in Gormanston in the car park of the Huntsman Inn.
The dead man, named locally as Peter Butterly from Dunleer, Co Louth, was in his mid 30s.
Mr Butterly had recently been before the Special Criminal Court charged with membership of an illegal organisation but the case collapsed after a key warrant used during the Garda investigation was ruled unconstitutional in an unrelated case.
He was being investigated for allegedly transporting bomb making equipment in 2010 but the evidence gathered under the warrant could not be used and the case collapsed.

spokesman of an Ansar Dine breakaway faction as saying that it was jointly "ensuring security" with the MNLA.
Once Kidal is taken, the first phase of the French operation will be over, our correspondent says.
The second phase will be to track down the militants to their desert hideouts, which could prove a much more difficult task, he adds.
Mr Fabius warned that the militants had adopted a "strategy of evasion and some of them could return in the north".
President Hollande later outlined plans for the operation, saying African troops would take over once French forces had retaken key towns.
The French would then return to their bases, and from then on their sole task would be to support and train Malian forces, he added.

A marine science instructor snorkeling off the Southern California coast spotted something out of a fantasy novel: a silvery, 18-foot-long, serpent-like sea creature. Jasmine Santana of the Catalina Island Marine Institute needed more than 15 helpers to drag the giant animal with eyes the size of half dollars to shore on Sunday. The creature, identified as an oarfish, was already dead when Santana found it, but staffers at the institute are calling it the discovery of a lifetime. Oarfish are rarely seen, dead or alive. They are the longest bony fish species, topping at around 56 feet. It is believed that oarfish dive over 3000 feet deep, which leaves them largely unstudied.

Erdogan said he successfully negotiated peace talks between Israel and Syria in 2008, under then-prime minister Ehud Olmert, and that the two sides were on the verge of signing the deal when Operation Cast Lead broke out between Israel and Gaza, scuttling the initiative.
Israel and Turkey are close to an agreement to lift the blockade on the Gaza Strip, he also said, indicating that such a move would further hasten the normalization of Israel-Turkey ties. Asked whether he was confident Hamas would not abuse the lifting of the blockade in order to import weaponry, Erdogan switched the focus to Israel, and castigated “your use of weapons against Gaza.”
Henoted that Hamas did not have the “nuclear and conventional weapons that Israel has.” The deaths caused in Israel by Hamas rockets, he indicated, paled by comparison to the “thousands” killed by Israel in Gaza.
When it was put to him that Hamas indiscriminately targets Israeli civilians, Erdogan did not directly address the question. He called for a negotiated solution to bring tranquility to the area.
Asked about the remains of two Israeli soldiers from the 2014 war held by Hamas, he noted that Israel holds “thousands” of Hamas and other Palestinian prisoners in its jails, and suggested an exchange.

Decided February 24, 1988
CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT
*59 Franklyn M. Gimbel, by appointment of the Court, 481 U. S. 1046, argued the cause for petitioner. With him on the briefs were Jeffrey A. Kaufman and Marna M. Tess-Mattner.
Charles A. Rothfeld argued the cause for the United States. With him on the brief were Solicitor General Fried, Assistant Attorney General Weld, and Deputy Solicitor General Bryson.
CHIEF JUSTICE REHNQUIST delivered the opinion of the Court.
This case requires the Court to decide whether a defendant in a federal criminal prosecution who denies commission of the crime may nonetheless have the jury instructed, where the evidence warrants, on the affirmative defense of entrapment.in performing the contracts. Midwest Knitting Mills, whose president was James DeShazer, was one of the participants in the 8A Program. DeShazer's principal contact at the SBA was petitioner.
In October 1984, DeShazer complained to a Government customer that petitioner had repeatedly asked for loans. DeShazer believed that petitioner was not providing Midwest with certain 8A Program benefits because DeShazer had not made the requested loans. In early 1985, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arranged for DeShazer to assist in the investigation resulting from his complaint. Under FBI surveillance, DeShazer offered petitioner a loan that, according to DeShazer, petitioner had previously requested. *61 Petitioner agreed to accept the loan, and two months later, DeShazer met petitioner at a restaurant and gave him the money.

al-Qaeda's victims from 2004 to 2008, numerous innocent Muslims like Hamdani died on 9/11, and the March 10 testimony of Abdirizak Bihi, whose nephew had been radicalized in the U.S. and killed while on jihad in Somalia, illuminated yet another path by which Islamism snuffs out the lives of Muslims.
What about "Islamophobia"? Though Islamists and their allies depict bigotry as a veritable life-or-death matter for American Muslims, the data say otherwise. Indeed, online FBI hate crime statistics, spanning 1996 to 2009, record not even a single Muslim dying due to an anti-Islamic incident in the United States. Islamist terrorism kills Muslims; "Islamophobia" does not.
Protecting people begins with protecting their lives. Thus, those who truly care about Muslims' well-being must acknowledge the hard truths of violent jihad — Islamistsa mystery. On the one hand, the group openly harbors an unwavering desire to ethnically cleanse Israel of its Jewish population through suicide bombings and rocket attacks in order to reclaim the land for their god and their prophet.
On the other, a 2006 victory in a democratic election gave Hamas control of the Gaza Strip, so as the elected political body of its opposition, the international community somehow expects Israel to negotiate with this group to broker a peace.
Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, does not currently seem content to sit down and speak with Hamas, however. Hamas recently released a statement committing to the "unofficial truce" if Israel will refrain from attacking Gaza.

A veterinarian who examined more than 100 animals found at the Tuscaloosa K9 Training Academy in Berry said it was one of the worst cases of neglect he's seen.
Law enforcement agents called Dr. Jimmy Canant to examine 136 dogs, several cats, goats and a few pot-bellied pigs found at the facility that was profiled on the “Pit Bulls and Parolees” television show in 2012.
“I was stunned,” Canant said. “I've seen several abuse cases, but this is probably the worst one.”

Thomas Malthus then stated that the inability of the population to grow enough food would lead to famine and pestilence reducing the number of people on earth to match available resources.
This idea is related to the belief of an 18th-century scholar named Thomas Malthus . His theory predicted the effect of a population growing much faster than their available resources such as food could sustain.
Summary: Confounding the grim prediction made by the British economist Thomas Malthus in 1798, the world currently produces more than enough food for a population that has increased almost tenfold since then.

The Government of Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is shaping up to be one of the most controlling in New Zealand’s history.
Like all socialist regimes that aim to impose the will of a few onto the many, they will eventually fail because most people by their very nature do not want to be controlled. Socialists refuse to understand that simple truth of the human spirit.
The attraction of socialism is that it sounds so good, especially to those who feel they would benefit from the taxing of others.
Winston Churchill described it well when he said, “Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy”. While he then went on to say, “Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery”, he was notresponse to the Christchurch tragedy. But instead of waiting until the Royal Commission of Inquiry reports back, to determine exactly what law changes are needed, public outrage and grief created an opportunity for Labour to impose heavy-handed restrictions that, under normal circumstances, would have been rejected by freedom loving Kiwis.
In her haste to be seen to be legislating faster than Australia after their Port Arthur massacre, Jacinda Ardern trampled on democracy and rushed into law blanket bans on guns and parts, undermining the long-established rights of Kiwi firearm owners to enjoy their sport.
Now the next phase of Labour’s attack on gun owners, the Arms Amendment Bill, is being fast-tracked through Parliament, with submissions due on October 23rd – see HERE for details.

And Marr reveals McCartney's late wife Linda came very close to working with The Smiths.
He adds, "We had asked Linda to play and sing on The Queen Is Dead album, which sadly she wasn't able to (do)."
Marr might have missed out on an opportunity to play with McCartney, but he followed up his success in The Smiths as a member of The The, Modest Mouse and the Cribs.Both had major injuries and the players that were brought in during mid season to fill in played huge roles.
To be more specific, both had an unsung veteran come in during the season and play a big role down the stretch:
'96--Bruce Wilkerson (left tackle)'10--Howard Green (defensive end)
Also, both teams had a big powerful nose tackle with a lot of personality: Gilbert Brown and B.J. Raji.
Yep, I was thinking Bruce Wilkerson and Andre Rison when he filled in for Robert Brooks. Green was just as immense for us either of those players and arguably had the play of the game by causing the pick six in the 1st quarter.

full of slightly murky water from the Artibonite River, which wound its way behind this pocket of homes in the Bocozel locality (or neighborhood) of Duclas.
Immediately, one bucket was taken to the back of Veronica's house and was reserved for hand washing and other toilet purposes. The other one was placed by a group of women who were busy preparing large amounts of food for the friends, family, Vodou musicians, and neighbors soon to arrive. This water was used to rinse cooking utensils and vegetables and was also boiled to cook rice, plantains, and stew.
If individuals in Bocozel can afford to buy them when they are accessible, most will treat the well, pump, or river water with purification tablets or drops. In another form of treatment, sediment inmurky river water can be separated out by mixing in the mucilage, or gummy substance, from a crushed piece of prickly pear cactus.

Image caption Hans Zimmer received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2010
Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer is to be given the outstanding contribution to music award at this year's Classic Brits.
The German composer has scored the music for more than 100 films over a 30-year career.
He won an Oscar in 1995 for best original score for the Lion King.
Other films he has composed for include Rain Man, Crimson Tide, Gladiator, The Pirates of the Caribbean films and The Dark Knight Rises.
Zimmer, 55, has also won two Golden Globe awards and three Grammys.
Other compositions include the main theme for the Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 video game and the game show Going for Gold.
Zimmer has most recently been working on Spider-Man 2 and Christopher Nolan's newfilm Interstellar.
The co-chairmen of the Classic Brit awards committee, Dickon Stainer and Barry McCann, said they were "absolutely delighted" to be honouring his "outstanding talent".
"Hans Zimmer's recent work, including Inception, has been a dominant force for classical music specifically in the digital-download era.
"It is only appropriate that four years on from his 2009 win for soundtrack of the year for The Dark Knight he should receive the outstanding contribution to music at this year's ceremony," they said.
The Classic Brits will be held at Royal Albert Hall in central London on Wednesday 2 October.
Last year, the five-time Oscar-winner John Williams received a lifetime achievement award at the Classic Brits. | {

The United States: Addicted to special forces
A US Army soldier with the 10th Special Forces Group and his military working dog jump off the ramp of a helicopter, during water training over the Gulf of Mexico [Martinez/US Air Force/Reuters]
The Special Operations forces of the United States - currently 70,000-strong and thus larger than the regular militaries of many sizable countries - occupy a very special place in US national mythology.
According to TIME Magazine, Special Ops "heroes" are the "planet's most skillful soldiers" and "toughest warriors" - operating in their very own "secret world".
Newsweek hails them as "dead accurate, lethal and all-but-silent. They are the military's elite - highly trained badasses armed with bullets and brains in equal measure".
The obsequious glorification of "badass" warriors is of course hardly surprising,given that US society has been inculcated to view international relations as a sort of video game in which the US gets points for blowing things up.
More surprising, perhaps, are the dimensions of the oh-so-secretive world.
In a recent dispatch, investigative journalist and author Nick Turse reveals that Special Operations forces were active in no fewer than 149 countries in 2017 - meaning that the "secret world" has managed to encompass 75 percent of the globe.
This record high is courtesy of US President Donald Trump, that self-appointed "very stable genius" who is now building on the special forces frenzy fuelled by his predecessors, Barack Obama and George W. Bush.

The remains of three American servicemen previously unaccounted-for from

for burial in the United States.
On April 13, 1966, Mape was flying an armed reconnaissance mission over Nghe
Tinh ProvinceNorth Vietnam when an enemy surface-to air missile struck his
A-1H Skyraider, destroying it. Other pilots in the flight made a visual
inspection of the crash site and concluded there were no survivors.
In May 1991 a joint U.S./Vietnamese team, led by the Joint Task Force-Full
Accounting, traveled to Nghe Tinh Province and interviewed several local
witnesses who recalled the crash of a U.S. aircraft in April or May 1966.
The witnesses also indicated that the site had been heavily scavenged for
metal in the early 1990s. The initial visit to the crash site in 1991 and a
subsequent visit in July 1993 provided little material evidence.
In August 1994 a U.S./Vietnamese team learned that a group of men had been
arrested in Dong Nai Province in late 1992 for illegally excavating and

To consolidate his power, President Xi takes advantage of the ongoing progress in artificial intelligence (AI), leading to a further crackdown on civil liberties as surveillance methods become ever more advanced. These and other technologies are also employed to great effect in foreign operations such as hacking, industrial espionage, spying and general cyber activities.
Other developments around this time include a further colonisation of islands in the South China Sea, plus additional pressure on Taiwan (though stopping short of all-out war) and progress on the Belt and Road Initiative.* China also continues to lead the global effort against climate change, with additional large-scale closures of coal-fired plants and a huge increase in clean energy capacity. By the middle of this decade, 50% of the country's electricity is producedfrom renewable sources, more than twice the amount in 2015.
China continues its move away from being the world's factory floor (cheap goods and low quality) to higher value products and services (e.g. aerospace, automotive, IT, pharmaceutical, robotics and semiconductors). Despite various economic, demographic and other challenges, it continues to edge ahead of the United States and to increase its share of global GDP.

Ok - but this is why we had a Dream Team:Origin: There are two dates that contributed to the origin of the 1992 Olympic Dream Team; the first date being September 28th, 1988 when the US Olympic Team was defeated in the semi-finals by the Soviet Union, coming home with a disappointing and unacceptable Bronze finish. The second date was April 07,1989 when a vote conducted by FIBA opened the door for professional players to participate.

The president’s eldest son admits to meeting with a Russian lawyer to obtain damaging Clinton information.
One of the few GOP senators who has been critical of the Trump administration wants answers about a potentially explosive revelation involving possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians.
The Hill reports that Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) urged the Senate Intelligence panel on Monday to interview Donald Trump Jr. about a previously undisclosed meeting with a Russian lawyer during the 2016 presidential campaign.
According to a New York Times article on Sunday, Donald Trump Jr. agreed to meet with the Kremlin-connect attorney who promised to turn over “compromising information” on Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. President Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, also attended the meeting at Trump Tower.
InLawyers representing Freddie Gray's family said Wednesday that they have accepted the Justice Department's decision not to charge any officers involved in his fatal ride in a Baltimore police van, but dangled a provocative new accusation: that members of the force "sabotaged" local prosecutors' murder investigation.
The lawyers, William H. Murphy and his son, Hassan Murphy, said they were skeptical when they first heard Tuesday that the Justice Department had concluded it could not prove the officers violated Gray's civil rights.
But the family lawyers said they met with DOJ lawyers and left understanding the case's shortcomings: the government's limited jurisdiction over deaths in police custody, and the relatively high burden of proof required to convict officers in such cases.

not lack flair as a first-year floor general. Hands will remind some fans of De’Aaron Fox as a baby-faced 6’3” dynamo who can explode to the rim for highlight dunks. While Hands is not blessed with Fox’s turbo jets, he is quite physically reminiscent of the former Kentucky Wildcat. Hands is comfortable with the ball in his hands on offense but needs to prove that he can involve his teammates at a consistent rate. He has struggled at times with looking off teammates in order to drive into bigger defenders, where his thin frame can get knocked around. He also will have to fortify the consistency of his three-pointer, as he has solid form but is plagued by overconfident shot selection. Steve Alford is not known for restricting182 F.2d 591

Capt. Nicholas Ingham is loaded onto a bus after his arrival at Bagram air base from Kandahar. (Nikki Kahn/The Washington Post)
Shortly after midnight on this frigid night, Capt. Nicholas Ingham arrived at this massive air base, in the belly of an Air Force C-130. As the back door swung open, flooding the cabin with light, the heavily sedated Marine, strapped onto a stretcher, blinked away a tear. An American flag tattooed on his chest rose and fell gently as a ventilator pumped air into his collapsed lung.
A team of doctors, nurses and medical technicians assigned to the trauma center here gently offloaded Ingham and a handful of other injured troops with mechanical precision, the first stop on their journey home.
It would be the same journey thousands of woundedwarriors had made before them.
These days, 12 years after the start of America’s longest war, far fewer U.S. troops are being killed or wounded in Afghanistan. The military’s drawdown has picked up pace, and Afghans have begun to shoulder the brunt of the fighting. But the war continues to churn out American casualties by the dozen each week. Their injuries rarely make headlines.
Still, military health-care experts say those wounded in battle are coming home more severely injured than at any time since 2006, a sobering sign of the strength of the insurgency at the twilight of the war. Many of the injured arrive on the medical evacuation flights that land twice a week at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland physically intact but mentally wrecked, struggling with the demons | {

An Ecuadorian-born community activist, Carlos Vega moved to Holyoke, Massachusetts, with his family in 1955. Settling in the working-class “Flats” neighborhood at a time when many of Holyoke’s factories were relocating to the southern United States or Asia, the Vegas were one of the few Spanish-speaking families in the city, but when Carlos began to work on a local tobacco farm at the age of 14, he encountered the new influx of migrants from Puerto Rico who had been lured to the Connecticut Valley as agricultural laborers by the Department of Labor. With the Puerto Rican economy declining in the 1960s, many of these farm workers settled permanently in Springfield and Holyoke, but they soon discovered that the declining | {

emerged the victor in a dramatic five set final. Agassi decided to play at Wimbledon in 1991, leading to weeks of speculation in the media about what he would wear. He eventually emerged for the first round in a completely white outfit. He went on to reach the quarterfinals on that occasion.
To the surprise of many, Agassi's Grand Slam breakthrough came not at the French or U.S. Open where he had enjoyed so much success, but at Wimbledon. In 1992, he defeated Goran Ivanišević in a five set final. Along the way, Agassi's baseline counter-punching dispatched two former Wimbledon champions in Boris Becker and John McEnroe. No other baseliner would triumph at Wimbledon until Lleyton Hewitt ten years later, on slower, higher bouncing grass. Agassi was named theBBC Overseas Sports Personality of the Year in 1992.
Agassi once again was a key player on the United States' Davis Cup winning team in 1992. It was their second Davis cup title in three years.
1993 saw Agassi win the only doubles title of his career, at the Cincinnati Masters, partnered with Petr Korda. Agassi missed much of the early part of this year with injury troubles and struggled at the major events. After a first-round exit at the U.S. Open, he had wrist surgery late in the year.

Mr Hamilton, MP for Leeds North East, was installed in the role last month as Mr Corbyn reshuffled his team after securing a huge new mandate from Labour activists.
But at the time he was described as a foreign affairs and defence spokesman, rather than as shadow minister for peace.
In a statement on on the Facebook page of his local party, Mr Hamilton said he had been offered the job of 'shadow minister for peace and disarmament'.

These defendants did sign a complaint in the presence of the Scottville Municipal Court Justice, who then issued a criminal warrant for plaintiff's arrest.

There was only one problem: He did have family. He had two sons he walked out on when they were teenagers. It took Edward Pearson Jr. more than a decade to stop being angry. He said he was told that his father had died years ago, was electrocuted on the job. Imagine his surprise when he found out — through social media — his father had been alive all these years. He learned about his real death the day before the service. Then the family called the funeral home to tell themthe news.
Legacy Options, the funeral home in Naples, knew there was family the night before the service and said nothing about it.

– in 1980, China’s overall economic output was a mere tenth that of the US.
The chatter about Beijing’s economic surge coincided well with its Balkans drive, yet another means by which the Chinese business juggernaut is seeking satiation. Chinese diplomats and figures are not strangers to the region. Their involvement during the eccentric relationship between Beijing and the communist Albanian state of Enver Hoxha is well noted.
The love affair with Hoxha went cold in the late 1970s. China began cultivating ties with Yugoslavia and Romania, insisting that both the Soviet Union and the United States adopt more constructive approaches to the Balkan region. Then, as now, the Balkans was to provide an entry point into the markets of European states while also enabling a currying of favour withfiled a petition for injunction for protection against repeat violence.

On June 1, 2000, the court held an evidentiary hearing regarding the entry of a permanent injunction under section 784.046(7). Cloud described the circumstances of the April 24 sexual assault.

Players present were linebackers Kirksey and Jamie Collins, tight ends Seth DeValve and Randall Telfer, defensive backs Ibraheim Campbell and Jamar Taylor, and receiver Ricardo Louis. All seven are between 23 and 27 years old.
The Haslams, joined by Player Development Director Ron Brewer, said they wanted to understand the players' message and to see whether and how the organization could support and amplify that message.

The intended target of the blast was the prime minister at the time, Margaret Thatcher, and her Tory cabinet, who were staying at the hotel during a Conservative party conference.
Steve Barry, Sussex police assistant chief constable, who is co-ordinating an emergency services group, stressed that the likelihood of people having been affected was “very small”. However, he said he felt he had an ethical duty to tell people that a Metropolitan police officer who had worked at the scene had died from an asbestos-related disease last December.

Scofield cabin owners get details of Matheson's land transfer bill
Cabin dwellers at Scofield's Bolotas subdivision may get a chance to buy property they thought they already owned if Congress can enact legislation for a land transfer from the federal government to individuals.
When that will happen is anyone's guess. Ironically, those who have introduced or plan to introduce bills are members of minority parties in their respective chambers.
Senators Orrin Hatch and Mike Lee, both Republicans, introduced their S. 2056 on Feb. 1. That bill made it as far as subcommittee hearings on March 22 and has seen no action since.
Rep. Jim Matheson, the lone Democrat in the state's congressional delegation, plans to introduce his own version in the House, where his party is in the minority.
Last Thursday, Matheson staffmember Pam Juliano explained the elements of the proposed bill to citizens who will be affected.
Basically, the legislation intends to make it possible for the Department of Interior to sell land to people who have records in the County Recorder's Office that "purport to convey title" to the property as of Oct. 1, 2011.
The land in question does belong to the Bureau as a result of a land transfer when Scofield Reservoir was enlarged.
However, purported cabin owners have been occupying and paying property taxes on the land and cabins for decades.
Under Matheson's bill, people who have three years to choose the terms of transfer. First, there is a "life estate" provision which would last until the death of the owner or 25 years, which ever comes first. The | {

Small island developing states (SIDS) have common economic challenges and are faced with high costs for energy, infrastructure, transportation, trade logistics and public administration.

Let us suppose that the great empire of China, with all its myriads of inhabitants, was suddenly swallowed up by an earthquake, and let us consider how a man of humanity in Europe, who had no sort of connexion with that part of the world, would be affected upon receiving intelligence of this dreadful calamity. He would, I imagine, first of all, express very strongly his sorrow for the misfortune of that unhappy people, he would make many melancholy reflections upon the precariousness of human life, and the vanity of all labours of man, which could thus be annihilated in a moment.

EXCELLENT DAY FOR ALEIX ESPARGARÓ WHO RIDES HIS RS-GP TO THE THIRD ROW
The Argentinian 2017 MotoGPweekend continues according to predictions. In fact, the foul weather forecast punctually conditioned the sessions today. Although it was not a violent storm, the riders were still able to use the wet tyres both in FP4 and in qualifying.
A first for Aleix Espargaró, who had not yet ridden his RS-GP in the rain. The results were rather encouraging. The Spanish rider, who went straight through to Q2 thanks to his performance yesterday, had an outstanding qualifying session, taking a spot on the third row (eighth place, 1'49.323). This is a placement that ties the one achieved by the Aprilia Racing Team Gresini last year at Phillip Island.

During the 19th century, sold by major drug companies such as Eli Lilly, Squibb, Parke-Davis, Smith Brothers, and Tildens, the potent extract of cannabis was one of the top three most prescribed medical agents in the United States [2] [3].Until the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act, cannabis, being a powerful topical analgesic, muscle relaxant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-spasmodic agent, was found in virtually all fistulas, corn and mustard plasters, muscle ointments, and fibrosis poultices [3].UNITED STATES PHARMACOPEIA listed cannabis until 1942 [4], after which it was removedHospital and arrived just after the 2010 midterm congressional primaries. With Charlotte Bergmann as the Republican nominee for the 9th Congressional District seat held by Democratic incumbent Steve Cohen, he immediately signed on as her campaign manager.
One check of the 2017 NFL Draft shows why Tennessee was the favorite to win the SEC East Division last fall.
UT had six players drafted in the first four rounds, the most for the program since 2002, breaking a two-year drought with no players. The six Vols drafted tied for the most since 2010 and 2007. Eight Vols were drafted in 2003 and 10 drafted in 2002.

His work ethic, long a point of personal pride, paid big dividends across an excellent mixtape trilogy (Monster, Beast Mode, and 56 Nights) in the run up to his commercial peak with Dirty Sprite 2 and his cash-in collaboration with Drake, What a Time to Be Alive. Since then, his music is either chasing those highs or stuck in cruise control.

That scripture, which would have been burned in to her Immaculate Heart, by means of a singular grace would have certainly been with her at a young age when she would be betrothed.
Furthermore, one tradition (not Sacred Tradition), which is mostly forgotten by popular imagery but found in the Catholic Encyclopedia article you linked to, says that Mary was a consecrated virgin raised in the temple. Her parents Anne and Joachim prayed for her and when they got her, gave her up to the temple where she would have been able to absorb scripture like Anna (Luke 2:36-38). There she would have certainly known all about Hannah and Samuel, certainly enough to put Hannah's prayer into herown words.

Luke, the author of the gospel that bears his name and also of Acts, was an exceptional historian of the classical mold. Roman and Greek history was a little different than what we expect from the field. Wikipedia suggests a typical approach:
In Roman historiography commentarii is simply a raw account of events often not intended for publication. It was not considered traditional “history” because it lacked the necessary speeches and literary flourishes. Commentarii was usually turned into “history” later on.
A Roman reader would expect the author of a history to present a polished account rather than a word-for-word stenography. Given the expense of the two volumes Theophilus commissioned, he would have demanded the high literary quality that Luke did, in fact, deliver. | {

Some world leaders, as well as the American public, are concerned that these funds may try to wield these investments as a diplomatic tool.

A majority of American voters think these foreign infusions harm both the national security and the economy of the United States, according to a recent survey by Public Strategies Inc.

White House: Trump's DACA decision coming Tuesday
LATEST NEWS
President Trump will announce his decision on whether to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program on Tuesday, the White House announced.
Trump's decision comes amid mounting pressure and speculation that he will scrap the Obama-era program, which extends temporary deportation relief to undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as minors who applied for work permits. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders refused to tip the administration's hand Friday amid repeated questioning from reporters, saying, "We are in the process of finalizing that decision and those details."Members of Congress, including top Republicans like Speaker Paul Ryan(R-Wis.), have said that Trump should not end the program, although they want Congress to pass a law codifying the practice instead of relyingagency and a time-bound criminal trial, the report, which comes two days ahead of the IPL auction scheduled for February 12-13, said there was enough material to show that a further probe was required into the contentious match between CSK and Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur on May 12, 2013.
Favouring action against CSK and Rajasthan Royals under relevant provisions of the IPL rules, the panel said any person who wished to be associated with an IPL team in any manner should also be asked to sign a code of conduct and be liable to similar obligations as the players.
The panel also underlined that players should not be allowed to own any stakes or interests in player agencies or companies involved with cricket, unless such interests are in the nature | {

Bill Belichick was a 34-year-old defensive coordinator when he was carried off the field after the New York Giants routed the Washington Redskins in the 1986 NFC Championship Game en route to the franchise's first-ever Super Bowl victory. Over three decades later, Belichick's son, Steve, is making similar waves with the New England Patriots' defense.
Several Patriots players recently told the Boston Herald that Steve has been calling plays for New England's defense "for weeks." The younger Belichick, who began coaching with his dad on the Patriots' staff back in 2012, has been the team's safeties coach since 2016. Belichick has received added responsibilities in the absence of former Patriots defensive coordinator Brian Flores, who is in the midst of his first season as the Miami Dolphins head coach.
"We'vestarted to gel with [Steve Belichick], knowing what he's going to call and the way he thinks through the game," Patriots safety Terrence Brooks recently told the Herald's Andrew Callahan. "I remember before one of his first games calling it, he was a little nervous, and I had to shake him up a little bit and pep talk him up and tell him that he's one of the best.
"He was just sitting there, and I was like, 'C'mon, get it together. Let's go! You're one of the best. This is nothing'. And he popped up."
While he won't confirm his promotion, Steve Belichick has admitted that his role has changed.

My second project is an international history of the ‘long 1980s’ from the Iranian Revolution to Soviet Union’s collapse, ‘Creative Destruction: The American Market State and the New World Order, 1979-1991’. Together, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, and George H. W. Bush administrations all backed the global expansion of financial capitalism that would conquer Eurasia by the early 1990s. By interweaving the history of international relations with those of transnational capital and regional economics (the military industry in America’s Sunbelt, financial services in New York, London, and Hong Kong; and electronics in Taipei and Seoul) – I hope to fashion a new interpretation of U.S. foreign policy and global history, as permeable, winner-take-all market states supplanted fiscal-military states, bringing the Cold Wartogether with Bernstein, DeLucia's tax attorney, appeared before Revenue Agent King on November 19, 1954 and testified that he had counted $300,010 in the possession of DeLucia shortly prior to the prosecution years.

comment on the specific numbers of automobiles that were transported out of the city, and the circumstances behind their decision to withdraw before ISIS' assault.
A second-generation Hyundai Tucson, reportedly in Mosul, Iraq. PurpleOlive2/Twitter
But Kia was not the only automotive company to have conducted business in the country. There were also Hyundai and Chrysler dealerships in Baghdad, about 250 miles away from Mosul.
Hyundai in 2004 was reportedly one of the first new car dealerships to set up shop in Iraq in decades. Chevrolet had pulled out when Saddam Hussein and the Ba'ath Party took control of the country in 1968. After a violent takeover, privately-owned showrooms were banned and the state held a monopoly on new automobiles.
Operating with no insurance, the Hyundai dealership conducted its business during the contentiousambassador to the US Lukman Faily asked in an ABC News interview at the time.
Though conspiracy theorists posited that the trucks were obtained by ISIS forces through nefarious means directly through Toyota, representatives for the automaker said at the time that it had a "strict policy to not sell vehicles to potential purchasers who may use or modify them for paramilitary or terrorist activities."
A report by Public Radio International in 2014 also revealed that dozens of Hiluxes, which were classified as "non-lethal aid," were originally given to the Free Syrian Army by the US State Department in their fight against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Some of the trucks could have ended up in the hands of ISIS forces after members of the FSA defected.

FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said the probe continues into how Gilberto Sanchez, 47, of New York City obtained the copy he posted to Megaupload.com in the spring.
When the leaked movie made it to the Web, officials from Twentieth Century Fox, the unit of News Corp that was behind the film, expressed their dismay out of a concern that it would undermine the box office appeal of “Wolverine.”

Braid is a platform and puzzle video game developed by independent software developer Jonathan Blow. The game was released on August 6, 2008 for the Xbox 360's Xbox Live Arcade service. A Microsoft Windows version was released on April 10, 2009. Hothead Games ported and released the game to Mac OS X on May 20, 2009 and the PlayStation Network on November 12, 2009. On December 14, 2010, a Linux version was released as part of the Humble Indie Bundle 2.
Blow designed the game as a personal critique of contemporary trends in game development. He funded the three-year project with his own money. Webcomic artist David Hellman drew the artwork, which underwent several iterations until it satisfied Blow's vision. A preliminary version of Braid without the final artworkwon the "Innovation in Game Design" award at the 2006 Independent Games Festival; the final version received additional accolades. The game received generally positive reviews from critics, eventually becoming the highest-critically-rated title on Xbox Live. Some reviewers, however, criticized the game's price relative to its length.
At its most basic level, the story describes the protagonist Tim's attempt to rescue a princess from a monster. Clues embedded in the plot have led to multiple metaphorical interpretations of the plot, such as a tale of a faltering relationship or the development of the atomic bomb. The game features traditional aspects of the platform genre; the player runs, jumps, and climbs through a linear set of stages while solving puzzles and defeating enemies.

Under-age Drink Driving Solicitors
In a recent review of Hampshire’s drink-driving statistics, it has been revealed that a rather significant and surprising number of offenders were under the age of 18.
In Hampshire, it was discovered that between 2008 and 2013, there were 276 underage drink-drivers caught, and of those, 74 of them were under the age of 16. It has been described by various children’s charities as ‘terrifying’.
The worst area in the country affected by underage drink-driving was Greater Manchester with a staggering 409 under-18s being arrested for drink-driving.
The youngest offender of this crime was, shockingly, aged only 11, from the Thames Valley area.

eight Championhips in 9 years, winning 7 Greek Cups, and repeatedly tearing up FIBA's International Basketball tournaments. Galis' team "Aris B.C." at one point won 81 games in a row between 85-88. Basically while Larry Bird and Magic were dominating in The U.S. Nick Galis was dominating by himself in Europe.
Galis is rumored to have been offered contracts by The Celtics and Nets but turned them down because FIBA, at the time, didn't have professional status. Meaning that becoming a professional in America would make him ineligible to play for the Greek National Team.
Nick Galis may not have been the same playing in The NBA that he was in Greece, there's obviously no way to tell, but if Galis was half as good as he was over there...The 80's could have been even greater.
In 1979-80 The Boston Celtics started Archibald and Chris Ford as their backcourt with rookie Gerald Henderson coming off the bench. Halfway through the season they would sign veteran "Pistol" Pete Maravich to carry backup SG duties. In hindsight they probably should have signed Nikos Galis to a 1 year deal and let him heal his ankle, but as usual hindsight is always 20/20.
Red Auerbach was later quoted as saying that not signing Nikos Galis was the single biggest mistake in his legendary career.

be light, a perception buoyed by the US habit of referring to deployed forces as "advisers" and "trainers" even when these forces are directly engaged in combat.
A November TIME Magazine article quotes an assessment of the arrangement by former Navy SEAL-turned-Republican-congressman Scott Taylor: "It's easier to put 'trainers' and 'advisers' in a country and say we don't have 'boots on the ground' ... Well, that's bullshit. They're combat boots, every one of them."
As for what certain boots on the ground have been up to in places like Iraq and Syria, the US-led coalition against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) was lambasted last year for its use of white phosphorus munitions, prohibited in civilian areas under international humanitarian law. Amnesty Internationalsuggested that the coalition's reliance on white phosphorus on the outskirts of Raqqa - ISIL's former self-declared capital in Syria - "may amount to a war crime".
Indeed, one gets an idea of the effectiveness of phosphorus munitions from a passage in veteran Middle East journalist Robert Fisk's book Pity the Nation, which quotes a Beirut doctor on the incendiary aftermath of Israel's use of phosphorus shells in Beirut in 1982:
"I had to take the babies and put them in buckets of water to put out the flames. When I took them out half an hour later, they were still burning. Even in the mortuary, they smouldered for hours."

PITTSBURGH, PA.— Republican Tim Murphy resigned today from the U.S. House after allegations emerged that the long-term anti-abortion congressman had asked a mistress to have an abortion. His departure sets up a national showdown in a Western Pennsylvania swing district, where the number of Democrats outnumber Republicans.
Organized labor will likely pour millions of dollars into the race for the special election, and several labor leaders have indicated a desire to run. Unlike other special elections in the South and West, the Pittsburgh-area district has a history of flipping between Republicans and Democrats.
Currently, there are 70,000 more registered Democrats than there are Republicans in the district, but according to the Cook Political Index, the district tends to vote for Republicans by 11 percent.
The district includes the affluent suburbs ofMt Lebanon, the middle-class suburbs of the South Hils, and the deindustrialized union strongholds of Westmoreland County. It stretches all the way down to the West Virginia state line and includes many blue-collar communities where the principal means of employment are in coal mining and fracking.
(Full Disclosure: Payday Senior Labor Reporter Mike Elk’s grandfather, Regis Holden, was an elected Westmoreland County Democratic official).
A win in such a district, which has seen many working-class voters switch allegiances in the last decade, would be a major boost for organized labor.
Already, the 66-year-old retired Pennsylvania State Education Association union leader Mike Crossey has declared his candidacy for the race.

"Songs for Silverman" will be released in September, he said. It will be his third studio album since the split with Ben Folds Five, a guitar-less trio that unexpectedly found success with 1988's "Brick."
Folds called his music "punk rock for sissies" as the trio blended hard-edged yet jazzy piano-based songs with alternating serious and smart-alecky lyrics.
"[The new album] is much more of the uptempo side of [2001 album] 'Rockin' the Suburbs,' " he said. "It is more lyrically akin to [Ben Folds Five's 1999 album "The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner"]."
Folds said that after he learned about the charity, he liked the idea of an organization with a very specific mission. That group is better than one his 8-year-old daughter asked him to support, he said. He sent$15 to some African organization, and supposedly a tiger is now sponsored by the Folds family.

* The number of those assassinated in November (2019) continues to rise. By 1 October, 155 deaths had been registered, concentrated in the same areas shown in this map.
The Cold War, followed by the implementation of a hybrid war through Plan Colombia, furthered the practice of physically eliminating social organisations, movements, and political parties – especially among the left. In 1984, after the first peaceaccord between the State and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia ( Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia or FARC), the left formed a political platform known as the Patriotic Union ( Unión Patriótica). A political genocide was carried on against the people who were associated with the Patriotic Union: for instance, four thousand students were killed in the 1980s and 1990s (Cepada 2006). Today, this violence is being experienced once again. In 2018, the Center for Research and Popular Education Peace Program ( Centro de Investigacion y Educacion Popular Programa Por La Paz or CINEP) documented 1,151 death threats, 648 assassinations, and 304 cases of physical injuries as well as numerous cases of harassment (CINEP 2019).
