PITTSBURGH (AP) For the better part of four hours Pittsburgh and Syracuse raced up and down the Heinz Field turf like kids playing in the street waiting for their parents to call them in for dinner. The touchdowns kept piling up, one after another. An absurd 20 in all. When Pitt quarterback Nate Peterman mercifully ended it with a simple kneel down to run out a 76-61 victory - the highest scoring regulation game in FBS history - the Panthers trotted toward the band for one last victory song caught somewhere between relief and disbelief, their head coach included. "I've never been in a game like that," Pat Narduzzi said. "I don't ever want to be in a game like that again. But I'll go back and say there's nonews organizations for running smaller versions of his not-real-news. In his review of the book, Farhad Manjoo of Salon.com said that "[Curtis] even seems to go after the audience -- his audience -- for indulging in [not-real-news] Curtis seems to want us to be repulsed by them instead."[10] Curtis's book peaked at #12 on Amazon.com's non-fiction bestseller list. Media critic Jack Shafer noted that despite the book's success, it received "scant attention" from mainstream media outlets.[11] The book was later released in paperback.[12] Drew Curtis announced his candidacy on January 23, 2015 for the upcoming election for the Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.[17] With his wife Heather as his running mate, the platform revolves around a "Citizen Candidate" philosophy of common sense and data-driven decisions, no experiments, leaving people

Union Hotel (Sackets Harbor, New York) Union Hotel, also known as Barrow's Hotel, is a historic hotel located at Sackets Harbor in Jefferson County, New York. It is a -story stone building, 51 feet by 69 feet, over a full basement. The original structure was built in 1817–1818. The interior features distinctive Federal woodwork. It functioned as a hotel into the 1860s, then was used as a Masonic Lodge. In 1972 New York State acquired the building and rehabilitated it for use as the Visitor Center for the Sackets Harbor Battlefield State Historic Site. In July 2000, an addition was built and it was converted to serve as the Seaway Trail Discovery Center. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. References External links History of UnionKris Kitani With the dozens of camera angles used to show a football game on TV, why hasn't anyone ever thought of giving us a ball's-eye view? Because with the spheroid spiraling at speeds up to 600 rpm, a football-cam would produce unwatchable, nauseating footage. But what if it didn't? Imagine the footage a football would capture if it flew down the gridiron without spinning. That's what researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Electro-Communications in Tokyo have developed, using an algorithm that analyzes frames shot by a football's built-in camera as it spirals across the field. By looking for shots of the sky, the algorithm selects and deletes all frames captured while the camera faces skyward. It then stiches together the downward shots into a panorama. The

NEWS Real Estate has confirmed details for their upcoming fourth LP – In Mind – out March 17th via Domino. Recorded in Los Angeles with Grammy-winning producer Cole M.G.N. (Beck, Snoop Dogg, Julia Holter), album opener ‘Darling’ is available now along with accompanying music video, directed by Weird Days. Over 11 songs, In Mind pushes the band in new directions, while still retaining the warmth and soft-focus narratives that one has come to expect from Real Estate —pastoral guitars, elegantly deployed arrangements, a mindful melancholy. In Mind offers the sound of a mature band not only at the height of its power, but in a period of change. Since their last record – 2014’s Atlas – primary songwriter Martin Courtney became a father of two and moved to upstate NewYork, while bassist Alex Bleeker relocated to California. In addition, following the departure of co-founding member and lead guitarist Matt Mondanile in 2015, Courtney, Bleeker, drummer Jackson Pollis and keyboardist Matt Kallman welcomed longtime friend and New Jersey native Julian Lynch into the band as a full-time guitarist. Atlas was an undisputed breakout for the band. Apart from being one of the most lauded records of that year, it earned them performances on Letterman and Conan, their third consecutive Pitchfork Best New Music, and saw them sell out London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire – their biggest UK headline date so far. In addition to a spot at Coachella this Spring, Real Estate will tour extensively behind In Mind - more info coming soon. In Mind will be available on CD, LP and

The Bishop spent some time with JRS volunteers as they shared their encounters with people in detention, including with one volunteer who supports young Vietnamese men who are often victims of trafficking. The Bishop concluded the visit by celebrating Mass in the Chapel, at the end of which detainees who attended thanked the Bishop for his visit, and put before him their fears and concerns as well as their intentions for prayer. Following the visit, Bishop Paul McAleenan said: "Meeting the men held in Harmondsworth detention drove home the hardships they face, being kept away from their families and their communities indefinitely. It was good to meet with those men, to hear their stories, and to stand with them."

The posting of the footage follows weeks of protests across the country over recent cases of police violence toward unarmed black men, including one in which a New York City man died after an officer placed him in a banned chokehold.

matches coming into this tilt, Blackburn had three wins, a draw and two losses (including one against Bolton after Fabrice Muamba fell ill). Unfortunatley for Rovers, the loss to United sees them back in the relegation zone, at No. 18, on goal difference. But then again, fans might also have been surprised that Blackburn failed to put up a goal against United. After all, Rovers have scored more goals than any EPL side outside the top six, while defensively they've leaked goals and have the fewest clean sheets, two, of any Premier League side. Yet against United, on the few counters led by the likes of Yakubu, David Hoilett and Morten Gamst Pedersen, they looked likely to find the back of the net. For United fans, their thanks should bedirected to the keeper who has been written off many times now, but who keeps growing into his role with each match. Right at the close of the first half, David de Gea made two tremendous stops in the span of 60 seconds, first Marcus Olsson's left-footed volley from 18 years out, then Hanley's header from a corner that De Gea palmed over the crossbar. The Spaniard, once maligned, has the best saves-to-shots rate (79 percent) of any keeper in the Prem with at least 10 appearances. United's efforts all came back to Valencia, though, both with his goal and then his assist on Ashley Young's goal in the 86th minute, a terrific shot at the D that snuck past Robinson. Now Valencia shares the league lead with 12

Beirut Open City 17 Oct 2008 – 18 Oct 2008 Playing like a Lebanese update of Costa Gavras' seminal thriller Z, director Samir Habchi's Beirut Open City – the Rossellini reference is intentional – is a pulsating voyage through a Beirut underworld teeming with intelligence agents, secret torture chambers and seductive ladies of the night. Set in the 1990's at the height of the Syrian occupation of Lebanon, the film follows Egyptian actor Khaled El Nabawi's photojournalist as he attempts to make a film about the brutal interrogation methods used by the shadowy intelligence services against political dissidents. He finds himself drawn ever closer into a deadly game of intrigue as the authority's net tightens around him. In a separate part of the city, a newly married Lebanese man islaurel family among one of the earlier lineages in the history of flowering land plants. It is also one of the well-known families of plants that is associated with Gondwana, and thus members of this family is found in various southern hemisphere countries and continents that used to make up the huge landmass of Gondwana, such as New Zealand and South America. In Far North Queensland, this endemic species known as Daphnandra repandula or commonly as the Northern Sassafras, is a common tree in rainforest, particular in upland areas. The species may be quite non-dscript when not flowering, but there is one rather easy way to identify it if you have a sprig at hand. In many cases, trees have coopice shoots which are in easy reach. The parts of these coppice

Live Birth from the State of Hawaii available on the Internet in June 2008, it validated none of those rumors: The certificate shows his full name to be "Barack Hussein Obama II,"it lists his father's race as "African" and his mother's as "Caucasian," it contains no information about religion, and it reports his birthplace as being Honolulu, Hawaii. A number of self-proclaimed experts immediately seized the opportunity to pronounce the certificate a forgery (even though none of them had actually seen the original, just a scanned image of it), picking on such specious details as minor variations from other Hawaii-issued certificates and the lack of an embossed seal and signature. (Some forgery claimants even maintained that the certificate was actually an altered version of one issued to Barack Obama'sCalifornia with a hispanic women named Delpia (who has been feeding people at St. Joseph's Center for 29 years) and she is my personal hero.

Wednesday, July 15, 2009 Since my state is home to several expensive universities, including Brown University and the Rhode Island School of Design, there is never a shortage of privileged, self-flagellating white kids in Halloween-like clothing, willing to march behind any leftwing Pied Piper who rolls into town. Do white people who work against racism and whiteness, and who object to their trained adoption of common white habits and tendencies, hate themselves? Are they really “flagellating” themselves when they do that? Last week, a one-time commenter named Wesley

Münstermann, now a retired newspaperman, but then a 14-year-old. "Then the soldiers started putting barbed wire fences around the centre of the village, and slowly we began to realise that this was going to be no ordinary camp." Walter and his neighbours realised that the centre of their village was being transformed into a prison camp when they heard that the British were converting a large, 40-year-old bath-house, ripping out the baths and installing heavy steel doors to turn each cubicle into a cell. They saw the first batch of prisoners arrive in the back of a truck. Later groups arrived at the village railway station in cattle trucks. Ingrid Groth, then a seven-year-old, said locals claimed that if you crept up to the barbed wire at night, you couldhear the prisoners' screams. Mr Münstermann, who passed the main gate on his way to school each day, insists that the opposite was true: that it was a sinister place precisely because "you never, ever saw anyone, and you never heard a sound". Among the people of Lower Saxony, Bad Nenndorf became known as das verbotene dorf - the forbidden village. The commanding officer was Robin "Tin Eye" Stephens, 45, a monocled colonel of the Peshawar Division of the Indian Army who had been seconded to MI5 in 1939, and who had commanded Camp 020, a detention centre in Surrey where German spies had been interrogated during the war. An authoritarian and a xenophobe with a legendary temper, Stephens boasted that interrogators who could "break" a man were born, and

After hearing all the evidence which was offered, the District Judge denied defendant's motion for a directed verdict, found him guilty, and sentenced him to three years' imprisonment. Defendant is a member of the sect known as Jehovah's Witnesses and has held the position of Assistant Company Servant of the Malden (Massachusetts) Company of this group since November 27, 1942, by appointment of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, Inc., of Brooklyn, New York, which is the governing body of this sect.

Odhikar defenders went to the Gulshan Police Station at 2:00 am on 11 August, where the police present denied having any case against him and claimed that they learnt of his arrest from the media. The Government claims that he has been ‘arrested’, however, there was no prior warning or warrant for his arrest. approximately 10 men in plain clothes exited two large vehicles, surrounded him and ushered him away, telling him that he had to come with them.

Lebanon at the last second to scrape out a 3rd-place finish in Asia. They finally have some decent players and legit size, but aren't fun enough to be lovable, and not good enough to matter otherwise. Description: One of the international pioneers of basketball, Serbia (formerly Yugoslavia) fittingly became the first country to eliminate team USA from the medal round in the dream team era in 2002, on the way to their 5th world championship, the most of any country. After bottoming out half a decade ago, they scrapped the old guard, and the new guard is way ahead of schedule. A group of talented, yet hot-headed players whose youth is both their biggest strength and their biggest weakness. They lack the surgical grace of their predecessors, but onany given day, they can compete with anybody. Description: That talented team that looks like a monster on paper....until the ball gets tossed. The chronic underachiever of the international scene, Brazil has never been capable of maximizing their vast talent pool, and generally ends every big tournament flat on their faces. They haven't had a great team since the late 50's, and nobody outside of Brazil even remembers. Also, Oscar Schmidt doubles as the South American Dominique Wilkins.

On Friday night the AFL made history when the eight-team competition kicked off in Melbourne, but Greenberg said the NRL was not in a position to follow suit just yet. "I think in this space we're spending a lot of time and energy on the Jillaroos to make sure our elite female pathway is strong," Greenberg said. Currently Australia has about 40 elite female rugby league players. "We have absolute aspirations to introduce more competition pathways for females, but in saying that we want to build from the ground up," Greenberg said.

Food struck festivalgoers in Karlovy Vary and at Toronto last year, where it was first shown. Twenty-three-year-old Yorgos cannot find a suitable job, despite an obvious talent for singing, and ends up surviving by eating his pet canary's food. He may have a roof above his head, yet he has scarcely any money left for food and refuses to ask for help from friends or family. Unemployment feeds the character's sense of alienation and his increasing psychosis is exacerbated by actual hunger. However, the current anguish undoubtedly felt by Europe's youth doesn't always translate into such dreary terms. Some choose to treat their anxieties through surreal humour. This year, at the Cannes film festival, the directors' fortnight sidebar selected a first feature film by 39-year-old cinematographer Antonin Peretjatko. CalledLa Fille du 14 Juillet (The Bastille Day Girl), the film was released in France a month ago. With almost no dialogue and an eerie poetry, the film enchanted French critics. According to Libération's Bruno Icher, "here is an exhilarating road-movie through a country in crisis, a broken land split between a phony modernity and musty traditions." For Christophe Leparc, managing director of the directors' fortnight at Cannes, "many first-time directors choose genres such as comedy, horror, fantasies, to talk of today's harsh daily life, as if they had to circumvent the issue." Dubbed a pataphysical burlesque comedy with nods to Jean-Luc Godard, Jacques Tati, Blake Edwards and Monty Python, La Fille du 14 Juillet shouldn't be a laughing matter. After all, no one in the film has a

The US author cited Turkish expert Pinar Tremblay who dubbed MIT as "a prominent player in the decision-making process for Turkish politics." Furthermore, Erdogan is seeking support from the National Action Party (MHP), and its paramilitary wing — the Grey Wolves . The neo-fascist group has been famous for its assaults against Turkish Kurds and left-wing activists and political parties. Evidence is emerging that Ankara is using ultranationalists along with Turkish Islamists in its covert war in Syria. "Turkish involvement in the Syrian war has been heavily dominated by Islamist fighters, but the conflict has also drawn in an unlikely quarter — Turkish nationalists. The far-right Nationalist Action Party (MHP) and its youth branch, theIdealist Hearths, have recently come into the spotlight with high-profile losses on the Syrian battlefield," Fehim Tastekin noted in his February article for Al-Monitor's Turkey Pulse. © AP Photo / ADEM ALTAN Turkish nationalist organization "Gray wolves" , wave their flags during a rally by Turkey's opposition Nationalist Action Party, MHP in Ankara, Turkey, May 24, 2015 Tastekin called attention to the fact that unlike Turkish Islamists who "were regulars" in armed conflicts in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Kosovo and Chechnya, the ultranationalists "had only taken feeble interest" in "jihadi" wars. Now, however, their military activity has caught a second wind in northern Syria under the pretext of protecting the Syrian Turkmen minority against Syrian Kurds and Russians. It is no secret that it was Alparslan Celik, the Turkish ultranationalist, who shot dead the

Patriots on Dec. 17. Bottled up by Cincinnati's aggressive defense in the first half, Pittsburgh's playmakers made the difference down the stretch, just as they have all season. They rallied to beat the Packers 31-28 last Sunday on Boswell's 53-yard field goal on the final play, which was set up by Brown's incredible sideline catch. After missing practice last week with an injured toe, Brown ran gingerly in pregame warmups and had another big game, finishing with 101 yards in eight catches. Le'Veon Bell ran for 76 yards and had another 106 yards on five catches, including a 35-yard touchdown play in which he remarkably kept his balance along the sideline - cornerback William Jackson pulled up, thinking there was no way he could stay inbound. It's the first time that Bellcase. In 2006, two years after the multiplayer's inception, HL2DM was a regular in Steam's top ten most played games, pulling in upwards of 20,000 players per day. For competitive players, Clans United was established as the game's central European community website and over a six year period hosted 1v1, 2v2 and 3v3 leagues which, at its peak, spanned five divisions with eight teams in each field. A hefty waiting list was perpetually on standby, whereby new teams would only replace outfits relegated from the lowest leagues. The community always had some drama or scandal going on, whether it be cheating accusations, admin abuse or mismanagement. At the same time, less significant forums such as HL2DM University were chartered, and a US ESL community ran a semi-successful 1v1 ladder. After players

Miguel Almiron and Josef Martinez both get called up to represent their countries of Paraguay and Venezuela regularly in the CONMEBOL (South American) qualifiers, what some consider to be the most competitive qualifiers in the world. This year, however, neither Paraguay or Venezuela were able to qualify which gives them an edge over teams like Orlando City and the Portland Timbers, both of which have had to deal with key players reporting back to their home countries to represent them in the biggest stage of all, the 2018 FIFA World Cup (Yoshimar Yotun and Andy Polo, respectively).

Somewhere along the line, the idea that everyone has theon the particular service that the cell phone was using. Also there is the unusual radar activity over Malaysia that is most disturbing of all. The media has been playing this down by simply saying that flight controllers have been unable to properly interpret the radar records. But according to the story by Steven Cook presented in the first link above, while flight MH370 was in flight and just 250 km out from its departure airport, a UFO appeared on the radar map about 350 km to its southeast, transformed into a an apparent plane signal on the map, and then sped off to the northeast at about five times the speed of the other jets; i.e., at mach 3.5, only to come to a complete halt at the

Rick Ross crashed his Rolls Royce into a building in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. early Monday while trying to escape gunfire from another vehicle, TMZ reports. Police told TMZ that Ross was on his way home from celebrating his birthday at a Miami club when a vehicle pulled up next to his and a gunman opened fire, getting off "dozens of shots" before fleeing the scene. No one was shot, but several buildings were hit by bullets, according to the report. See Brad Pitt and other stars who don't look their age Ross's girlfriend, Shateria L.

MVTA's private operating contractor, Schmitty & Sons Transit, which hires and trains the drivers. The implementation of the Driver Assist technology was accompanied by an extensive training program. Schmitty & Sons drivers were required to show proficiency in using the system in a training simulator and then transfer that proficiency to on-road training. MVTA's Driver Assist System also marks the nation's first deployment in the U.S. Department of Transportation's Vehicle Assist and Automation (VAA) for Transit program.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Nigel Bradham picked off Aaron Rodgers’ pass in the end zone with 20 seconds left, Jordan Howard gashed the Packers for his second career three-touchdown game and the Eagles ended a two-game losing streak with a 34-27 victory Thursday night in a game that saw one player for each team taken off on stretchers with possible head or neck injuries. Packers running back Jamaal Williams caught a pass from Rodgers for no gain and was leveled by defensive Derek Barnett on Green Bay’s first play from scrimmage. Williams was wheeled off on a stretcher and did not return. Barnett was hit with an unnecessary roughness penalty. Williams was being evaluated for head and neck injuries. The Packers said Williams had feeling in his extremities. Eagles cornerback180 yards on 10 catches for Green Bay, but he wasn’t on the field for the Packers (3-1) on the last drive because of a toe injury. After punting on its first two drives and falling behind 10-0, Philadelphia scored on four straight possessions against a defense that had only given up 35 points through the first three games. Sacked six times in the previous two games, Wentz managed to stay clean throughout most of the game. Zach Ertz had a team-high seven catches for 65 yards, and Alshon Jeffery, who missed all but six snaps over the past two weeks with a calf injury, finished with 38 yards and a touchdown on three catches. Rodgers and Adams connected on a 58-yard completion on the opening drive. It was the longest

Friday, 28 January 2011 Factbox: Gulf oil spill impacts fisheries, wildlife, tourism Reuters) - With the failure this weekend of BP's "top kill" attempt to plug its leaking Gulf of Mexico oil well, fears are growing that the economic and environmental impact of the nearly six-week-old spill can only spread. Here are some facts about effects of the worst ever U.S. oil spill, triggered by the April 20 explosion of the Deepwater Horizon rig: THE SCALE OF THE CATASTROPHE "This is probably the biggest environmental disaster we have ever faced in this country," top White House energy adviser Carol Browner said on Sunday. "There could be oil coming up 'til August." Browner told CBS's "Face The Nation," "We are prepared for the worst." Louisiana, the nearest state to BP's gushing undersea well that is 42miles out in the Gulf of Mexico, has been the most impacted by the spill so far. Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal said this week that more than 100 miles of Louisiana's 400-mile coast had so far been impacted by the spilled oil. State officials have reported sheets of oil soiling wetlands and seeping into marine and bird nurseries, leaving a stain of sticky crude on cane that binds the marshes together. "Oil debris", in the form of tar balls and surface "sheen", has also been reported coming ashore since the April 20 accident in outlying parts of coastal Mississippi and Alabama. In the week of May 17, Coast Guard officials found tar balls on some beaches in the Florida Keys, raising fears that the so-called Loop Current that runs from the Gulf

Lesage government was the architect of the quiet revolution in Quebec. In 1968, he made the leap to the federal level, where he made a name for himself as Postmaster General and Minister of Communications in the government of Pierre Elliott Trudeau. Mr. Kierans was a larger-than-life figure in Canadian politics. We extend our condolences to his family and friends on behalf of all Canadians. Canada will never forget this man who was so devoted to his country. Mr. Speaker, one of the major concerns of any elected government should be the care of the people who need the care the most. Recently in Nova Scotia we had hurricane Juan which devastated many people throughout our area. The fact is it devastated those people on low incomes and on social assistancea bill which removes large chunks of national parks. We have a gutted weather service. Mr. Speaker, I would like to bring to the attention of the hon. members that the Gatineau Olympiques have just won the President's Cup for the second year in a row. As a result, they will be representing Quebec in the Memorial Cup series. Last evening, the Olympiques showed their mettle in an exciting game at Hull's Robert Guertin arena. They beat the Moncton Wildcats, taking the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League championship before a delighted hometown crowd. This team is gutsy, to say the least. My congratulations to the entire team, and in particular to captain Maxime Talbot. His leadership has earned him the Guy Lafleur trophy for series MVP, two years running. Hockey is still

Party first backed President Bush and later President Obama in their escalation of the wars against Afghanistan and Pakistan. They unanimously supported Israel’s savage bombing campaign against Lebanon, the land and air assault and massacre of thousands of civilians trapped in Gaza, the bombing of Syrian facilities and the big push (from Israel) for a pre-emptive, full-scale military attack against Iran. The US advocates of sequential and multiple simultaneous wars in the Middle East and South Asia believed that they could only unleash the full strength of their mass destructive power after they had secured total control of their first victim, Iraq. They were confident that Iraqi resistance would collapse rapidly after 13 years of brutal starvation sanctions imposed on the republic by the US and United Nations. Inorder to consolidate imperial control, American policy-makers decided to permanently silence all independent Iraqi civilian dissidents. They turned to the financing of Shia clerics and Sunni tribal assassins, and contracting scores of thousands of private mercenaries among the Kurdish Peshmerga warlords to carry out selective assassinations of leaders of civil society movements. The US created and trained a 200,000 member Iraqi colonial puppet army composed almost entirely of Shia gunmen, and excluded experienced Iraqi military men from secular, Sunni or Christian backgrounds. A little known result of this build up of American trained and financed death squads and its puppet ‘Iraqi’ army, was the virtual destruction of the ancient Iraqi Christian population, which was displaced, its churches bombed and its leaders, bishops and intellectuals, academics and scientists assassinated or

Almost 13 years ago, a 17-year-old Algerian, Lamine Ouahab, beat Rafael Nadal to reach the final of the boys’ singles event at Wimbledon. A couple of years earlier, he had beaten Robin Soderling and Richard Gasquet en route to the semi-finals of the Roland Garros junior tournament. He was a regular finalist at numerous Grade 1 junior events like the prestigious Eddie Herr tournament and ranked as high as No4 in the ITF world junior rankings. But like many teenagers in tennis – particularly in the Arab world – Ouahab was unable to replicate such success on the men’s tour. His highest ranking came in 2009 when he peaked at 114 and his career has witnessed bizarre interruptions as Ouahab would seemingly disappear from the tour for months before storming back withsome impressive stretches of tennis. After winning a Futures title in Croatia last year in March, he announced he was switching nationalities and would start representing Morocco instead of Algeria, having acquired the passport through his Moroccan wife. Ouahab then posted a disappointing 7-10 win-loss record in the remainder of the season, which he ended ranked 587 in the world. He then started 2015 in emphatic fashion, clinching a Challenger title in Casablanca. Between March and April, he won 17 matches in a row, also in his adopted home country, to grab three Futures trophies and make a stunning run to the quarter-finals in the ATP tournament in Casablanca, where he upset the tournament’s top seed Guillermo Garcia Lopez, ranked No24 in the world, en route. His streak saw him rise to

A white-haired man in a kilt is hustling around the tunnels of Maurice Richard Arena, right next door to Olympic Stadium in Montreal, trying to get organized. "Come on, ladies!" he shouts, at nobody in particular. "We've got four minutes and we're on!" Two crews from The Sports Network, Canada's equivalent of ESPN, clean their lenses and set up their tripods. Fans are filing into the dim and spacious concrete dome—1,825 of them, all told, mostly families and older couples on dates. Though excited to be there, nobody seems eager to sit down: The building's 4,750 seats are wooden, unforgiving, and lacking armrests. One middle-aged attendee strolls along the concourse, red cowbell in hand, looking for his section. He's wearing baggy blue jeans, a Raggedy Andy wig, and aCanadian-themed hoodie. When he turns around, I can see a bright red stripe painted down the middle of his Santa-like beard. These people are ready for the nine-day Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Canada's national women's curling championship, held every year in February. They're ready to watch the rare spectacle of big-time curling. At 7 p.m. sharp, a bagpipe player near the players' entrance blows a few squeaky notes and the teams—representing 10 provinces and two territories—parade onto the rink behind him, flags in tow. They're joined by the tournament mascot, a dead-eyed white cotton ball that resembles Otto the Orange if Otto had been left to rot on the Syracuse quad. The crowd is applauding and whistling, the athletes are clapping and waving to their families and fans. Team

A decent goal return prompted Serie A side AS Roma to give the striker another opportunity in Italy. A three-year contract offered security, but demons continued to haunt him and he made just five appearances for the capital club. Without his father’s pride or the need for money to motivate him, the Brazilian no longer felt the need to endure the sacrifices of a professional athlete, preferring instead to drink. He returned to Brazil in 2011 and made four appearances for Corinthians before being released from his contract. In January 2016, another chance emerged as Adriano announced a sensational move to NPSL side Miami United which included a 40% shareholding in the club.

rookie Hunter Henry will be the featured tight end for the Chargers next year.

We have developed an accurate, simple, and rapid method for the determination of theophylline in plasma. The principle of the method is based on inhibition of immunoprecipitation by hapten. A nephelometer is used to measure the scattered light from the immunoprecipitate. The macromolecule, which possesses numerous theophylline moieties and forms immunoprecipitate with anti-theophylline antibodies, can be easily prepared and used as the reagent for the assay. Theophylline in the assay mixture competitively inhibits the immunoprecipitation of the macromolecule. Therefore, theophylline can be determined by the measurement of the decrease of the scattered light. The assay is rapid (incubation time within 15 min), requires as little as 10 microliter of plasma, and requires neither troublesome pretreatment nor separation of antibody-bound from free antigen.

and/or corporate income tax separately from Ottawa. The result was a chaotic and inefficient system, often referred to as a "tax jungle." Ottawa tamed the jungle in 1941, when the provinces agreed to cede taxing authority in exchange for transfer payments, in order to finance the war. Later, when the provinces reintroduced their own income taxes, most signed agreements with Ottawa to ensure that key aspects of tax co-ordination – a common tax base, rules on allocating taxable income across provinces and centralized administration and collection – were established. These features remain in place today. While the provinces may claim independence in their personal and corporate rates, no one disputes Ottawa's dominant position.

In his complaint the plaintiff alleges that four named heirs had suffered pecuniary loss, i.e., the two natural parents of the decedent, a half-brother and an adult brother of the whole blood. By consent, the half-brother was stricken from the complaint and, on motion of the defendant railroad at the close of the plaintiff's case, the name of the decedent's brother was stricken from the complaint for lack of proof of dependency. Thereafter, the question submitted to the jury was whether decedent's parents were dependent upon her and, if so, what was the extent of their pecuniary loss by reason of her death? The defendants offered no proofs nor witnesses to controvert those proffered by the plaintiff. Motions for dismissal were unsuccessfully made by the defendant railroad

A leaked email released today read, "A young boy the age of 5. He will make the perfect catamite for the president. He will arrive from Romania on Tuesday. I'm sure the president will be pleased."

group of Iraqis dressed in civilian clothes, apparently wanting to surrender. When the American soldiers stopped, the Iraqis pulled out AK-47s and sprayed the US trucks with gunfire. Five wounded soldiers were rescued by our convoy, including one who had been shot four times. The attackers were believed to be members of the Fedayeen Saddam, a group of 15,000 fighters under the command of Saddam's psychopathic son Uday. Blown-up tyres, a pool of blood, spent ammunition and shards of glass from the bulletridden windscreen marked the spot where the ambush had taken place. Swiftly, our AAVs (23-ton amphibious assault vehicles) took up defensive positions. About 100 marines jumped out of their vehicles and took cover in ditches, pointing their sights at a mud-caked house. Was it harbouring gunmen? Smallgroups of marines approached, cautiously, to search for the enemy. A dozen terrified civilians, mainly women and children, emerged with their hands raised. "It's just a bunch of Hajis," said one gunner from his turret, using their nickname for Arabs. "Friggin' women and children, that's all." Cobras and Huey attack helicopters began firing missiles at targets on the edge of the city. Plumes of smoke rose as heavy artillery shook the ground under our feet. Heavy machinegun fire echoed across the huge rubbish dump that marks the entrance to Nasiriya. Suddenly there was return fire from three large oil tanks at a refinery. The Cobras were called back, and within seconds they roared above our heads, firing off missiles in clouds of purple tracer fire. There were several loud

San José, Calif., joined a growing list of US cities implementing a Vision Zero initiative, which aims to reduce traffic fatalities to zero through education, enforcement and engineering. During the same year, there were 60 traffic related fatalities in San Jose, the highest annual total in more than 20 years. With a population of 1 million people, projected to grow nearly 50 percent by 2040, and an already-overburdened transportation network (indeed, San José and the greater Bay Area region are frequently cited as having some of the worst traffic congestion in the country), the city faces significant public policy, planning, and service delivery challenges in this endeavor.

At a February 2009 basketball game in Huntsville, Texas, H.S. joined in leading cheers for the Silsbee team, which included Bolton. But when Bolton went to the foul line to shoot a free throw, H.S. folded her arms and was silent. H.S. said the district superintendent, his assistant and the school principal told her she had to cheer for Bolton or go home. She refused and was dismissed from the squad. H.S., joined by her parents, sued school officials and the district. They claimed the school had punished her for exercising her right of free expression.

amount the Company paid Moon $5,420. No profit was originally contemplated on this transaction, but decreased costs due to successive orders resulted in a profit of $8,108.75 being realized by the Company, after deducting costs and the payment to Moon. 12 In May 1946, a revenue agent commenced an investigation of the Company. He questioned the validity of the partnership and went to the Ohio Bank and Savings Company several times to inspect the ledger sheet of the joint personal account in order to verify Marie's alleged $1,500 contribution to the capital of the Company in 1942. The cashier of the bank never produced the ledger sheet, which would have disclosed deposits of unreported commissions. On July 3, 1946, the agent submitted his report without having seen the ledger sheet.After the interview with the revenue agent, Lashells caused the commission checks to be entered in the Books of the Company and consulted an attorney. The attorney recommended an accounting firm in Toledo, Ohio, which was employed to make a complete audit of the Company's books. Following the audit, the auditors prepared amended partnership and individual returns for the years 1943-1945 inclusive, in which commission income aggregating $48,258.20 was disclosed, and which were filed by Lashells in December 1946. 13 The Commissioner originally held that the Company was not a valid partnership, and that the income from it was chargeable entirely to Ralph Lashells. This ruling was reversed by the Tax Court on the authority of Commissioner v. Culbertson, 337 U.S. 733, 69 S.Ct. 1210, 93 L.Ed. 1659, and that

Top US corporations paid CEOs more than they paid in taxes By James Brewer 1 September 2011 One-quarter of the 100 corporations with the highest paid CEOs paid less in US taxes in 2010 than they paid to their chief executive officers, according to a report issued Wednesday by the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS). According to the report (The Executive Excess 2011: The Massive CEO Rewards for Tax Dodging), among the corporations that fall in this category are General Electric, Honeywell, Ford, Boeing, Coca-Cola and Verizon. The latter company is demanding huge concessions from its workforce, which led to a two-week strike last month. Corporate excess and tax dodging is a time-honored tradition in America. Indeed, it is a matter of public record that many of the largest corporations pay no taxestransactions into which they had entered. To Barron and Bernardi, two separate and *208 unrelated transactions occurred: they sold the vehicles to Barco and then Barco leased them to Dwyer and Barlow. The dealerships thus draw precise distinctions between themselves and the financer as separate corporate entities engaging in arms-length business dealings. By so doing, the dealers disavow any contractual relationship with the consumers whatsoever. To consumers who walk on the dealership's lot to lease a car or truck, the view is entirely different: the dealer and the financer are, to them, a single entity, or at the very least, two indivisibly related entities working in tandem towards a single goal, with whom they must deal in order to obtain the desired lease. To the extent consumers are

Screenshot : YouTube According to Deadline, Skybound Entertainment—the studio launched by The Walking Dead mastermind Robert Kirkman—has picked up the U.S. TV rights to Jung Byung-gil’s Korean action movie The Villainess. The plan, unsurprisingly, is to remake the original as a TV show, with Jung Byung-gil on board to direct the pilot episode. The movie centered on Sook-hee, a female assassin in South Korea who tries to settle down and get out of the assassin business, and it revolved around the sort of twisty assassin lore and mythology that happens to be all the rage these days. It was also gleefully violent in a way that might not survive the transition to TV, but that might depend on where this ends up. Deadline says the TV version will center onstems from an earlier action in which plaintiffs sued Terry Maurer and Mary Ann Maurer (hereafter, collectively, “judgment debtors”) on March 24, 2009, for failure to deliver an ownership interest in Avita Artesian Water, LLC, a corporation owned by Terry Maurer, in exchange for payment of $455,000. Plaintiffs obtained a consent judgment on July 21, 2011, by which judgment debtors agreed to pay plaintiffs $455,000. When judgment debtors defaulted on the consent judgment, plaintiffs discovered a quitclaim deed from judgment debtors to defendant Anthony Maurer, the brother of Terry Maurer, transferring several parcels of property in a development known as Deerfield Estates in Crawford County. The quitclaim deed had been recorded on March 9, 2009, about two weeks before plaintiffs filed their action against judgment debtors. Plaintiffs also discovered subsequent transfers of some of the parcels from

One Israeli soldier –named as Staff Sergeant Eitan Barak, 20 – died in the clashes. Palestinian militants claimed he had been killed in an ambush but Israel said he had been struck by friendly fire. Health officials in Gaza said 27 Palestinians, including a baby, and a 70-year-old woman, had died since Israeli ground forces entered the densely-populated strip on Thursday night. It was also reported that three children from the same family – aged 15, 13 and 11 – lost their lives when a tank shell struck their bedroom in the village of Al Nada Tawas.

Among the puppet-friendly, Ms. Taymor — best known for the stage version of the Disney musical “The Lion King” — took the hardest line. “Only when a human being in its simplest form cannot do what is suggested in the libretto should you use a mask or puppet,” she said. “Unless a piece requires it, why bother?” Others find their home away from home in the little Baptist church on South Drive led by Pastor Jose Rosales – himself a transplant from the Mexican state of Durango.

Then, he takes to the microphone and looks out over his fellow Guatemalans. "It is an honor to say the sweet name of God," Mr. Cus said.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SCRIPT Welles's directorial copy of the broadcast was auctioned in 1994, at Christie's in New York, and bought for £24,000 by filmmaker Steven Spielberg. He went on to make a version of The War of the Worlds in 2005, starring Tom Cruise. THE WAR OF THE WORLDS WAS NOT THE FIRST RADIO HOAXEngland actually beat America to that trick, because the first radio hoax was broadcast on 16 January 1926, on the BBC. A talk on 18th-century British literature was interrupted by a 12-minute series of fictitiousnews bulletins about a riot in London, in which Big Ben was blown up by mortars, the Savoy Hotel burnt down and a politician lynched on a tramway post. The show, curiously, was written by Father Ronald Knox, a Catholic priest. Listen to the War of the Worlds broadcast AND IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA TO COPY ORSON WELLES . . .In February 1949, Leonardo Paez and Eduardo Alcaraz produced a Spanish-language version of Welles's 1938 script for Radio Quito in Ecuador.

After it was revealed that the broadcast was fiction, the panic transformed into a riot. The riot resulted in at least seven deaths, including those of Paez's

Image copyright Getty Images Image caption Marie Colvin died shortly after doing a series of live broadcasts from Syria The family of Marie Colvin, the American journalist who died in Syria four years ago, is suing the regime of President Bashar al-Assad. Relatives say they have evidence that she was murdered as part of a policy of deliberately killing journalists. The wrongful death lawsuit was filed at a district court in Washington DC. Colvin was reporting from the rebel-held area of Baba Amr, in Homs, in February 2012, when she was killed by government artillery. Shortly before, she did live broadcasts for the BBC, Channel Four and CNN. "I watched a little baby die today," she said, talking over pictures of a child who had been hit by a sniper bullet. "That is happeningover and over and over." Colvin, the celebrated correspondent for the Sunday Times in London, told the BBC that President Assad's forces were "shelling with impunity, with merciless disregard for civilians". She told CNN it was "a complete and utter lie that they're only going after terrorists… The Syrian army is simply shelling a city of cold, starving civilians".

Suspect in double murder apprehended in Wyoming December 13, 2013 On Thursday, Dec.12, the search for murder suspect Steven David Tompkins, 24, and a 19-year-old female accompanying him came to an end. Detectives with the Lee County Sheriff's Office Major Crimes and Fugitive Warrants Units aggressively followed leads to track down, notify and update authorities which resulted in their successful capture in Platte County, Wy. According to a release from the Sheriff's Office, Tompkins is being held for extradition on two counts of second degree murder while his companion at the time of his apprehension, Joycelin Luck, faces two counts of accessory after the fact. On Tuesday, Dec. 10, at 6:55 p.m., a 9-1-1 operator at the Lee County Sheriff's Office received a call about two adults found deceased at 1919 JeffersonAve., in Lehigh Acres. Deputies responded to the home and confirmed the caller's information and homicide detectives with the Sheriff's Office Major Crimes Unit assumed the investigation. Autopsies confirmed the identities of the victims as 55-year-old Shelley Tompkins and 22-year-old Daniel Tompkins. the Sheriff's Office reported. A third member of the household, Steven Tompkins, quickly became a person of interest in the case. After the incident, he was thought to be traveling in a 2004, green, 4-door, Ford F-150 Lariat pick-up truck with a Florida license tag of BFK T59.

Wesley Hitt/Getty Images A reunion between defensive tackle Terrell McClain and the Dallas Cowboys could be in the works. According to 105.3 The Fan's Mike Fisher, the free agent has scheduled a visit to Dallas this week, with the team interested in a deal at the right price. Washington signed the veteran lineman to a four-year, $21 million contract last year, but the team opted to release him last month. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that McClain has since met with the Miami Dolphins and the San Francisco 49ers. A 2011 third-round pick, McClain has moved around the league before settling in with the Cowboys. He played for the team from 2014-16, although a toe injury limited him to just two games in 2015. He was able to bounce back and havea bit of a breakout season, notching 40 combined tackles, 2.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in his last season in Dallas. His first—and what turned out to be only—season in Washington did not go as either he or the team had hoped. He recorded just 20 combined tackles and two sacks in 12 games, missing four weeks due to a toe injury. As a result, Washington cut its losses and moved on. The 6'2", 302-pound defensive tackle has generated some interest in the short amount of time he has been on the open market. It should come as no surprise that Dallas is interested in McClain. There was a big drop in stopping the run after he left, going from a league-best 83.5 rushing yards allowed per game in 2016

“I feel like that’€™s easier for me than being the defensive specialist and figuring my way offensively.” Notes: Kaminsky was the national player of the year for a number of outlets in 2015, including the Associated Press and Sporting News. Additionally, the Illinois native took home the John R. Wooden Award, the Naismith Trophy and the Oscar Robertson Award. He was a first-team All-American and led the Badgers to the NCAA title game against Duke, where his team eventually fell short. Kaminsky was the only player in Division 1 to average 17 points, eight rebounds, two assists and 1.5 blocks for the entire season. Scouting report: Frazier’s most desirable asset is his shooting, though his 3-point percentage fell from his sophomore total of 44.7 percent to his most recent 38.0over, around and through guys to score and gets rebounds. He’s a power wing.” In time, Hunter will need to get stronger, become a more consistent perimeter shooter and work on his free throws. His jump shot, while getting better, still isn’t the best, and he could stand to spend time on his ball handling. Hunter lacks some perimeter skills, and for someone of his height, those are almost necessary to be successful at his position. Notes: Hunter helped guide the Miners to the NIT by leading the team in almost every major statistical category, though UTEP lost in the first round of the tournament to Murray State. He was first in Conference USA in rebounding and was an All-Conference USA first-team selection. Over the course of his sophomore season

In addition to Sinatra, there are shades of Madonna and Marilyn Monroe. The songs are nostalgic, cinematic, sardonic, sultry, and drug-and-alcohol-laced anthems set in New York City, The Hamptons, and Los Angeles.

In Sarasota, the county sought to transfer certain functions or powers to itself from the cities.

No longer would the cities involved have had any control over those functions, which would have *985 become the responsibility of the county alone. Such is not the case here. The ordinance here does not seek to transfer jurisdiction over the Orange Bowl, nor even jurisdiction over the maintenance thereof, from the city of Miami to Dade County. It simply allocates certain tax revenues for the renovation of the stadium.

In light of this Court's later opinion in Dade County v. Dade County League of Municipalities, 104 So.2d 512 (1958), however, the district court's reliance on Dulaney was misplaced. In Dade County, another taxpayer group sought both a declaratory judgment on the constitutionality of a proposed amendment to the county charter and an injunction prohibiting an election thereon.

The result is one of the most spectacular examples of UFA-style filmmaking, a product of the dominant German studio, with seemingly infinite resources to lavish on set design, costumes, and special effects. Whether the film does justice to the thirteenth-century legend and Wagner’s opera, or instead presaged Leni Riefenstahl’s Triumph of the Will (Von Harbou later became a Nazi), it is undeniably a work of great beauty and ambition.

Falls Festival & Southbound Festival 2014 The line-up for the 2014 Falls Festival/Southbound Festival has finally been announced. Next year's festival promises to be the biggest yet, with headliners MGMT, Violent Femmes, The Wombats, Vampire Weekend and more being confirmed to play the festival celebrating its ten year anniversary.On Saturday, a day after a massive tsunami tore through Sendai, residents surveyed the devastation that has laid waste to whole sections of the northern port of 1 million people, 80 miles (128 kilometers) from the epicenter of the 8.9-magnitude earthquake that set off one of the greatest disasters in Japan's history. Rescue workers plied boats through murky waters around flooded structures, nosing their way through a sea of detritus, while smoke from at least one large fire billowed in the distance. Power and phone reception remained cut as the city continued to be jolted by powerful aftershocks. A still unknown number of people perished. Police said they found 200 to 300 bodies washed up on nearby beaches, but authorities were still assessing the extent of the devastation in the

Photo : Steve Smith It’s a story as old as time: A man was taking poops where he wasn’t supposed to, and his neighbors have caught him in an elaborate sting operation by hiding in the bushes with a camera. The alleged pooper in question is Brisbane resident Andrew Douglas Macintosh, who is a national quality manager at a big-time Australian retirement village company and also a member of a Brisbane City Council board. Neighbors in his Greenslopes neighborhood recently noticed a flurry of public poops on sidewalks and other street-adjacent areas near their homes. One resident, Steve Smith, says his place was “getting hit frequently,” and it seemed that the regularity of the poops as well as the presence of toilet paper indicated a high likelihood of premeditation.

Just before 12:30 p.m. local time on Dec. 22, the Summit County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a 52-year-old male skier who was found not breathing at the bottom of one of the resort’s runs. There was no indication that he had collided with any object. Skiers on the run had started CPR when authorities arrived. The skier was transported to the Keystone Medical Center where he was later pronounced dead. The identity of the skier is being withheld until notification to

next-level beats the deciding factor. Possibly the most perfect record ever made with machines. 7. Curtis MayfieldRoots Curtom1971 Visionary soul man's second studio LP, a work of majestic orchestral soul festooned with his sublime guitar work. Astonishingly innovative, full of breathtaking sonic vistas that stretch as far as the eye can see, crawling with the dense stylings of his orchestra and anchored by a backbeat that spells doom. Mayfield is there to guide you through it all, honest and touching as ever. 6. The ByrdsFifth Dimension Columbia1966 Folk-rockers expand their sound into hitherto unexplored territory, informed by their deep admiration of both John Coltrane and Ravi Shankar, and wind up inventing acid rock in the process. Here, their straight folk numbers are perfected in the shimmering Wild Mountain Thyme and John Riley, while EightMiles High (Gene Clark's parting gift to the band) sees them soar to unprecedented heights (further explored in I See You and What's Happening?!?!).

By way of example, Aftermath's casually brilliant, loping groove (co-produced with Mark Stewart) stitches together bits of rhythm from Marvin Gaye and LL Cool J, samples dialogue from Blade Runner and quotes from both David Sylvian and The Rascals. Tricky's murmur anchors the pervading atmosphere of dread as Martina's ghostly wail haunts every corner of the soundscape. Oh yeah... and

“anointed” him, published a periodical aimed at persuading the Saints to abandon Brigham Young, and sent out missionaries who converted both some sincere believers and some dissatisfied former Church officials, including John C. Bennett, John E. Page, and William Smith. He also “excommunicated” the Twelve, moved his organization to Beaver Island in Lake Michigan in 1847, had himself crowned king in 1850, began practicing plural marriage, and was fatally wounded on 16 June 1856 by two men who took refuge with Strang’s enemies and were never tried for their crime. While Strang was dying, one of his apostles asked if he were going to designate a successor. He replied, “I do not want to talk about it.” After his death, his approximately 2,600 followers were forcibly removed from BeaverIsland. Five of Strang’s twelve apostles spent the night of 19 February 1857 praying for guidance, but received no answer about a successor. The church dwindled rapidly. In 1863, 112 Strangite believers asked Joseph Smith III to become their leader. He refused, as did Strang’s son, Charles J. Strang, when approached in 1882. L. D. Hickey, the last surviving apostle, ordained a “presiding high priest” in 1900 who ordained a successor in 1923 who in turn ordained a third successor in 1928. This man did not select a successor, although after his death in 1946 the group selected their own leader, a man ordained by one of the previous leaders as a high priest, but not a presiding high priest. Since 1922 there have been two factions in

Just 0.6% of new car registrations across the EU last year were for pure electric vehicles, compared with 1.1% of new cars sold in France.

In the world of aviation, this meant that we got to witness the birth of fighters that were more than the hacked-up equivalents used in the Second World War and before.

A United Airlines flight made a U-turn in the sky after a passenger ran toward the cockpit screaming “jihad, jihad,” according to a government official with direct knowledge of the incident. CNNThere is nothing, so far, in the man’s background to suggest he has a connection to terrorists, the government source said. His mental state at the time is unknown, and no weapons were found after he was subdued. (“So far” being the operative words here) The incident started shortly after United Flight 1074 took off around 10:15 p.m. Monday from Dulles International Airport in Washington to Denver. The pilots told air traffic controllers that after the passenger began acting violently, other passengers subdued him, according to LiveATC.net, which provides audio of air traffic control transmissions. “He ran forward towards theBooks, movies, texts, etc. Smithson and Serra: Beyond Modernism?GD Jayalakshmi for BBC and the Open University Robert Smithson and Richard Serra both believed that sculpture should have a dialog with its environment.

Mohamed El-shahed/AFP/Getty Images The sit-in at a square in a Cairo suburb was staged by supporters of Mohammed Morsi, a Brotherhood stalwart. He became Egypt's first freely elected president in 2012 but was ousted a year later by the military, then led by President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, following days of street protests calling on him to step down. Get Breaking News Delivered to Your Inbox One of Morsi's sons, Osama, was among 22 defendants who received 10-year jail terms. A total of 374 were sentenced to 15 years and 215 to five years. Proceedings were dropped against five defendants who have died since the trial began. Saturday's convictions can be appealed. BBC News reports that the 75death sentences confirm sentences that were handed down in July. The additional verdicts mark the end of the trial, the BBC reports. Rights group Amnesty International has denounced the mass trial as "grossly unfair." "This can only be described as a parody of justice; it casts a dark shadow over the integrity of Egypt's entire system of justice, and makes a mockery of due process," Najia Bounaim, director of campaign in North Africa at Amnesty International, said in June.

The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the 30-day prison sentence of the man who attacked Senator Rand Paul (R., Ky.), ruling that federal guidelines did not permit so lenient a sentence. In 2017, Paul was tackled from behind by his next-door neighbor Rene Boucher over a mundane disagreement about lawn clippings. Paul was left with six broken ribs and a substantial hospital stay that forced him to take a leave of absence from the Senate. Paul testified that he suffered constant "intense pain" as a result of his injuries, and later required further surgery in August 2019. Boucher was originally charged with misdemeanor assault under Kentucky law, but the state charges were dropped in lieu of a federal felony prosecution. Boucher could have received up to 10 years inprison for an assault of a member of Congress that inflicted personal injury, but prosecutors sought 21 to 27 months in light of his acceptance of responsibility. District Court judge Marianne O. Battani instead sentenced Boucher to only 30 days, arguing that Boucher had an "excellent background," was "an educated person," and "participated in the community in [his medical] practice and in [his] church." The Clinton-appointed judge also cited the character witnesses who testified on Boucher's behalf, including his pastor and the developer of his gated community. Prosecutors appealed the case, arguing that the light sentence was "substantively unreasonable" compared with similar cases. The Sixth Circuit agreed Monday, noting that Congress specifically instructed courts not to give undue weight to class and education when sentencing defendants. "To prioritize a defendant's education,

enforcement. So, what to do? A historical perspective provides insight into this puzzle. Ever since retailer Aaron Montgomery Ward launched his catalog and mail-order business in the 1870s, Americans have made an uneasy peace with the idea of being “tracked.” Initially, Ward mailed unsolicited advertising flyers and one-page catalogs to targeted potential customers living in rural areas and small towns. The business grew and competitors adopted his direct mail tactics. By the mid-1890s the Sears Roebuck catalog featured hundreds of products and was distributed to over 300,000 addresses in the US. The new direct marketing and sales methods used in the mail-order business took advantage of advances in the technology of the times, including improvements in railways and shipping, better postal service delivery, and cheaper printing costs. Over the ensuing decades,it premiered on 14 April 1989, and ran for 26 episodes. Two episodes were transmitted back-to-back for each broadcast. When the series was syndicated on other networks, such as the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in Australia, Knowledge Network in Canada and Channel 5 in Singapore, the episodes were broadcast singly. The series was also broadcast on the military channel BFBS in Germany as well as in several countries including Cyprus, Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Bosnia and Belize but with the series transmitted back to back with two episodes just like its original UK television airings. The programme was animated by Isabelle Perrichon, who later worked on the FilmFair animated series Rod 'n' Emu (1991).

The trial court granted the motion to set aside the information on the latter ground.

Making a statement in the Commons, he told MPs that Mr Finucane's killing in front of his family on February 12 1989 was "a terrible crime", adding that there have been long-standing allegations of security force collusion in his murder. Former Metropolitan Police commissioner Lord Stevens was asked to investigate the murder in 1999. Mr Paterson said Prime Minister David Cameron invited the family to Downing Street yesterday so he could apologise to them in person and on behalf of the Government for state collusion in the murder of Mr Finucane. He said: "The Government accepts the clear conclusions of Lord Stevens and Judge Cory that there was collusion. Mr Speaker,

In Exodus 30:22–25 God instructs Moses to make a holy anointing oil to consecrate the priests "for all of eternity."

In all branches of Judaism, Kohanim do not perform roles of propitiation, sacrifice, or sacrament.

Site Navigation Site Mobile Navigation ‘City of Refuge’ Merrymaking at a weekly event called Chulent.Credit James Estrin/The New York Times AT 10 on a blustery night a few weeks ago, a slightly built 44-year-old Orthodox Jew named Isaac Schonfeld trudged to the top floor of the Millinery Center Synagogue. The synagogue, a three-story building on the Avenue of the Americas in the garment district, was opened in 1948 by a congregation of dressmakers and hatters. Their names, an assortment that is heavy on Sadies, Irvings, Berthas and Bernards, are recalled on memorial plaques inside the sanctuary. Although the synagogue still operates as a house of worship, the sanctuary these days is in disarray. Shabby books are piled on worn wooden benches, and stains dot the faded burgundy carpet. A Con Ed bill from November for$1,309.39 is taped forlornly to a wall. But this evening the place would not lack life. As Mr. Schonfeld climbed the stairs, he was carrying a steaming 18-quart pot containing the traditional Sabbath stew known as chulent. Chulent is also the name given to the informal weekly gatherings for Orthodox Jews on the margins of their close-knit society that Mr. Schonfeld, a business consultant from Borough Park, Brooklyn, has been holding in the synagogue for the past year. Setting down his homemade bean stew, he adjusted a little electric heater and began greeting the first of the hundred or so people who would soon stream through the door. A great majority of rigorously Orthodox Jews would have no interest in such a gathering. But for the small percentage who question aspects

Tall Stories On March 24, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak appeared before the press to announce that missing flight MH370 "ended in the Southern Indian Ocean." Najib’s statement finally gave the families of the passengers an "answer" on the fate of their loved ones. But it comes after weeks of spectacular obfuscation by Malaysian government officials, who repeatedly fudged details, contradicted each other, or used the tragedy to score points against the political opposition. Just to add insult to injury, Malaysian Airlines informed the families of the sad news by sending them a text message. Small wonder that some of the relatives are now accusing Malaysian officialdom of orchestrating a "cover-up," and demanding to see concrete evidence such as the plane’s black box. The rest of the world has reactedhow they had circumvented state laws to acquired vast tracts of forest land. In January 2013, 20 Swiss members of parliament filed a motion calling for an immediate freeze of assets held by Swiss banks on behalf of the Malaysian Taib family. In a normal, democratic political system, all this would have prompted official investigations, parliamentary inquiries, demands for accountability. The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission did organize a probe to investigate Taib — but the minister simply declared, with apparent impunity, that he would not cooperate with the "naughty" and "dishonest" commission. As a result, Malaysian officials have yet to open a domestic investigation into the case. One year later, in February 2014, the probe made the improbable claim that it could not find any evidence that Taib had abused

It is targeting his family for a slice of a $30 million coal deal at the centre of a historic corruption inquiry, as well as a smaller deal involving a separate mining venture. It was revealed last month that Mrs Obeid and most of the couple's sons and their wives, along with two of their four daughters, had simultaneously launched court challenges to decisions of the Tax Commissioner on May 30. The new documents, filed in reply by the Tax Office, reveal it sent bills for unpaid tax and penalties totalling $8.6 million to 11 members of the family and a corporate trustee in August last year. The individual bills range from about $55,000 to $1.57 million. The corporate trustee, Calvin Holdings, is challenging its bill on behalfthe two men had corruptly agreed with former Labor mining minister Ian Macdonald to create a coal tenement over the family's Bylong Valley farm. The Obeids entered into a mining joint venture with private company Cascade Coal, which later agreed to pay the family $60 million to extract them from the venture. The money started flowing into family coffers in late 2010 and to date $30 million has been paid. At the conclusion of the inquiry, dubbed Operation Jasper, the ICAC referred information about the operation of the Obeid family trusts to the Tax Office ''for such action as it considers appropriate''. At the heart of the dispute between the family and the Tax Commissioner is whether the $30 million was ordinary income – and taxed at the full

That's controlling for all of the different factors in a passenger's body, the car model, and whether or not the passenger is wearing a seat belt. CityLab's Sarah Holder first reported the study on July 18, and she pointed out that the non-representative dummy is likely linked to women's significantly-higher likelihood or being maimed or killed in a car crash.

and in Article 1, section 8. For Madison and Jefferson the term was a fairly empty one, referring to all the powers listed in section 8. To Hamilton it seemed an open invitation to unlimited governmental authority, since almost anything the government wanted to do could be categorized as belonging to the general welfare. It is not likely that the phrase promote the general welfare was intended to refer either to limited or unlimited powers of government. If the phrase is to make sense, it must have a significance of its own on a level with the other five objectives. It is probable that its meaning was best stated by Abraham Lincoln in his "Fragment on Government" in 1854: "The legitimate object of government is to do for a20th century this situation had changed markedly, with the establishment of a welfare state and a vast involvement by the federal government in economic functions. Separation of Powers It has proved true, historically, that there is a natural tendency of governments to assume as much power as possible. To prevent this from happening in the United States, the framers of the Constitution divided the functions of the federal government among three branches: the lawmaking branch, the executive branch, and the judiciary. This separation of powers is in direct contrast to the government in Britain. There Parliament is the single governing unit. Members of the executive--the Cabinet and the prime minister--are members of Parliament. The highest court of appeal is the House of Lords The separation of powers was also in contrast

On 2 May, plainclothes Egyptian police raided the offices of Al Borsa news site as well as the English-language news website Daily News Egypt, seizing computer equipment and questioning staff about their political coverage. Egypt also this year blocked access to the encrypted messenger service Signal. The latest crackdown on an already strangled press comes amid the arrests of several members of leftist political parties earlier in the week. Up to 30 members of the Dostour and Bread and Freedom parties were reportedly arrested in raids across the country beginning on Sunday morning. This was followed by the detention of the prominent lawyer and former presidential candidate Khaled Ali, known for his role in fighting the government’s decision to transfer two islands to Saudi Arabia.

The mosaic is overlaid on a Cassini orbiter radar image, taken during a 2005, flyby. The landing site, marked by the red 'X,' is located in Titan's southern hemisphere. ESA/NASA/JPL/University of Arizona/USGS View Caption Scientists have spotted a Great Salt Lake-scale patch of liquid methane on the surface of Saturn's moon Titan, along with smaller swamp-like features, in an unexpected and intriguing place. Data from the Cassini spacecraft currently touring the Saturn system have already revealed lakes at Titan's poles, fed by summertime methane rain. But Cassini's radar found nothing similar at lower latitudes, and climate models have suggested that long-lived lakes might be impossible there. Now, the discovery of the large, shallow

A crisisLAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- For most of the past three days, Boston Red Sox officials have spoken with their counterparts from other teams and met with agents in an attempt to get closer to acquiring a middle-of-the-order power hitter. Mostly, though, they've watched as their boss and one of baseball's top power brokers squared off in a staring contest. Now that Shohei Ohtani has signed and Giancarlo Stanton has been traded, the standoff between Red Sox president Dave Dombrowski and agent Scott Boras is emerging as one of the offseason's most intriguing storylines. And as the winter meetings wrapped up Thursday with little discernible break in the impasse, it's likely to continue through Christmas and maybe into January, too.

Hours before the local media report construction in the settlements and soon after the historic vote in the General Assemblyof theInternational, a leading member of the forum, Vice Premier Moshe Yaalon, gave a clue. "We must reflect on what action to take in response to the clear violation of the agreements signed in the past by Abu Mazen. was not logical that they ignore the agreements and we stay with folded arms, "Yaalon told public radio. As much of the Israeli political class, strongly criticized Abu Mazen's speech in New York: "I do not understand how you can talk peace with a speech full of lies and hatred. For him peace means that we do not exist .

case for NBA MVP with a furious finish that brought the Thunder back from a big deficit, and Russell Westbrook's layup tied the game at 110 with 4.8 seconds left. Toronto, however, won in overtime thanks to 31 points from Pascal Siakam, and the Thunder did not score in the extra session until 31 seconds remained. Philadelphia 118, Boston 115. Jimmy Butler's long jumper with less than 5 seconds left iced the win, and Joel Embiid finished with 37 points and 22 rebounds. It's starting to feel more and more like Milwaukee needs to get that 1 seed to avoid having to play both Toronto and Philadelphia in the Eastern Conference playoffs, because they are joining the Bucks in a clear-cut top three in the East.glamour shots of popular actresses and so models strike either side of the absolute Atlantic played a unique large part in burning bringing your bikini to the all the mainstream. seventy-nine 80 During one of the 1950s, Hollywood stars free not as ชุด ว่า ย น้ํา เกาหลี inferior Alva Gardner, Rita Hayworth, Lana Turner, 81 82 E Taylor, 82 Tina Louise, eighty-two Marilyn Close share panel At least 45 people have been killed in a suicide bomb attack in the north-eastern Nigerian town of Madagali in Adamawa state, officials say.

was that he was civil, obliging, and attentive, he generally seemed to go on being all those things." Max is comfortable with seemingly straightforward declarative sentences, which are in fact occasionally complex expressions of deeper emotions woven like Celtic coils into his trustworthy narrative. He earns our confidence with candor and a voice that is consistently true to 21st century sensibilities despite its slant and attitudes of 1890's San Francisco. Max's out-of-time experiences and priorities complete the illusion of otherness. "While at twenty I had been far off the map of youth, now that I was nearly thirty I looked nearly right. Perhaps not quite in the bloom of youth, but approaching it in my ogreish way, and I began to get more than my usual share of glancesfrom ladies who peered like fascinated children out of carriages, streetcars and shop windows." Greer also consistently surprises and delights the close reader with his offhand use of opposites, subverting expectations and recharging our attention with the unexpectedly profound cast off phrase. The century turned, the seasons changed, but little changed for me until a lucky and terrible disaster. Something of youth comes back with age. This novel received extraordinary support with blurbs from John Updike, Michael Cunningham, Michael Chabon, the New York Times, Publishers Weekly, the L.A.Times, and the plaudits go on and on. I enjoyed THE CONFESSIONS OF MAX TIVOLI and will look for his short story collection, HOW IT WAS FOR ME and the novels, THE PATH OF MINOR PLANETS, THE STORY OF A MARRIAGE, and THE IMPOSSIBLE LIVES OF

other respects, the Irish Brigade was more representative. In contrast to the left, the far-right volunteer militias were not motivated by internationalism. Franco soon realised that the ineffective units that arrived in Spain were led by cynical opportunists who regarded the war as a means of advancing their own political ambitions at home. Christopher Othen provides an accessible introduction into this neglected aspect of the Spanish Civil War, but it is one which focuses on personalities and colour rather than analysis. Despite the scholarly footnotes and bibliography, it is marred by inaccuracies and adds little to Judith Keene's more authoritative Fighting for Franco (2001).

I suspect Manson himself was programmed. He had been in various prisons, where a lot of brainwashing occurs. While he likely learned mind control techniques there, he was also subjected to them. The film industry is involved in a lot of propaganda to get people to go along with the system. The Spahn Ranch was likely used in many of the Westerns that glorified the genocide of the Native Americans and programmed the minds of many people. Many people who got caught up in the Manson cult were vulnerable and naive people who were looking to escape

In Europe’s top 5 leagues, there are hundreds of Portuguese players in different clubs and yet, the players in the local Portuguese leagues are no pushovers either. This guarantees that almost every decade, there are several top Portuguese players being talked about. Most of these players become international icons as many brands make them ambassadors. They are made the faces of businesses and even recognised in rather unnatural climes like Bingo gaming sites. Here is a list of sites with bingo games in the UK today that offer Portuguese football related content. This piece today however, will zoom in
