The CSB's report describes a host of failures by the West Fertilizer Company, the government, fire officials, insurance companies and others that allowed tens of thousands of pounds of ammonium nitrate to detonate. The blast destroyed homes, schools, apartments and a nursing home. Had it happened earlier in the day, with school in session, hundreds more people would likely have been killed and injured, the CSB concluded. Fire investigators narrowed the cause of the blast to three possibilities: electrical wiring, a short-circuited golf cart or arson. Lawsuits involving hundreds of plaintiffs, including the city of West, remain pending against the plant owners and fertilizer suppliers. 22 U.S. 430 (1824) 9 Wheat. 430 TWO HUNDRED CHESTS OF TEA, SMITH, Claimant.

BoCC hears report on recreational marijuana Recreational marijuana sales have been allowed in Colorado for nine days, but hold on to your wallets — the product is not available to purchase for recreational use in Archuleta County. Yet. Following a timeline that would see a recreational marijuana ordinance put into effect in May (assuming the Board of County Commissioners approves it), the BoCC heard a report Tuesday about the issues that must be considered in drafting and enacting a recreational marijuana ordinance. County attorney Todd Starr gave the report to commissioners Clifford Lucero and Steve Wadley (commissioner Michael Whiting was out of town). That group, Starr said, has spoken with other places around the state to determine what issues are being faced in regards to implementing recreational retail sales following the passage ofThe 27-year-old was present for the birth of Arlo on Saturday and was given dispensation from manager Arsene Wenger to link up later with his team-mates as they secured a 3-1 win over the Cherries to move to within three points of Premier League leaders Chelsea. Alexis Sanchez gave Arsene the lead having been gifted possession by Steve Cook, but Eddie Howe's side struck back as Callum Wilson converted a penalty having been fouled in the box by Nacho Monreal. Walcott's header early in the second half restored the lead for the Gunners, with Sanchez finishing off a flowing move at the start of stoppage time. The win means Arsenal broke a run of three successive draws and extend their unbeaten run in all competitions this season, which stretches back to

I don't recall seeing people physically shaking after seeing him in the previous motorcades, but they certainly were here. There was also a repeated refrain from many people that they couldn't believe they had actually seen the Pope. Now, remember, anyone can pull up video of him online whenever they want. Anyone can see the Pope. But not everyone can see the Pope in person, with their own eyes. Not everyone can stand near enoughto touch him. It was a tremendous witness to the power of the ministry of presence. Being there for people matters a great deal, and even more so in an archdiocese with troubles such as those which Philadelphia has been wrestling with recently. The Most Rev. Charles Chaput, archbishop of Philadelphia, introduced Pope Francis before his address from the front of the Independence Hall. There was a sight: the first Native American archbishop in the U.S. introducing the son of Italian immigrant parents. The Holy Father discussed religious liberty and human rights in front of the building where the Declaration of Independence was written. What better place to talk about the natural law than the place where the American Founders wrote: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are

Green Tier is a form of environmental regulation that provides companies with more flexibility. In return, the companies agree to exceed state environmental standards. The League of Conservation Voters is fighting Smart Sand's request because the company was issued a notice of violation in 2012 after an inspection showed, among other violations, the company was using improper equipment to control dust. Records also show the company was removing top soil at a rate 10 times higher than permitted, creating potentially higher emissions of particle pollution.

Baseball Report, an Illinois-based scouting service. "To build a program like he has is really impressive." No relationship in Franklin's effort to assemble winning ball clubs has proven more fruitful than the one he formed with fellow Louisiana native Joseph Haley, founder of the nearby Jackie Robinson West Little League. Forty-two years ago, Haley, a CPS educator who passed away in 2005, moved his young family from the west side to Morgan Park, on the far-south side. While they watched baseball on television together one day, his young son Bill mentioned that he'd like to play. Roseland Little League, to the east, was an option, but Mt. Vernon Park, at 107th and Morgan, was just a block from their home. Haley had the summers and weekends off, and, asBill says now, "was already connecting to the kids in the neighborhood because of his profession." Organizing a new league, in other words, seemed feasible. "It started up as one team, but it caught on pretty quickly," Bill Haley says. "And it became a staple institution in the community out here." That's an understatement. Through the dedication of the Haleys, who in their free time have crisscrossed the working- and middle-class neighborhoods around the park to find trustworthy adult volunteers, Jackie Robinson West has become the most reliable incubator of baseball talent south of Madison Street.

PITTSBURGH -- New York Rangers forward Martin St. Louis will be in the lineup for Game 5 of their Eastern Conference Second Round series against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Consol Energy Center (7 p.m. ET; NBCSN, CBC, RDS), one day after the death of his mother. The Penguins lead the best-of-7 series 3-1. Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said St. Louis learned of the death of his mother France, 63, on Thursday, not long after the Rangers landed here. Vigneault said St. Louis immediately left the team to return to his family's home in Montreal. Speaking with St. Louis on Thursday and Friday, Vigneault said St. Louis expressed a desire to play in Game 5. "This morning he said that he talked to his dad," Vigneault said Friday. "And him and his dadwill have forward Derek Dorsett and defenseman John Moore back in the lineup after they each were a healthy scratch the past two games. Forward Daniel Carcillo and defenseman Raphael Diaz, who each played Game 4, will be scratched. The only change for the Penguins is defenseman Robert Bortuzzo replacing injured Brooks Orpik in the lineup. Orpik is out with an undisclosed injury sustained in the first period of Game 4. Coach Dan Bylsma did not have an update on Orpik, other than to say Orpik's injury is different from the one that kept him out the final two games of the Penguins' first-round series against the Columbus Blue Jackets and the first three games of this series.

Ambrose's absence will be sorely felt in the Bombers' backline, particularly with half-back Martin Gleeson (foot) out for an expected four-month period. Michael Hartley appears to be the most likely replacement for Ambrose, with the defender playing 18 matches last year.

Based on these findings, the presumptive diagnosis was "absolute polycythaemia". The animal was treated for 7 days with repeated phlebotomy. During this time, the PCV never decreased below 50%, despite no obvious signs of discomfort from the animal. Because of the poor prognosis based on the liver biopsy result, the animal was euthanized 11 days after hospitalization. Post mortem findings were: a granular cell myoblastoma with a diameter of approximately 5 cm in the lungs, severe fibrosis of the liver, mild acute tubular nephrosis in the kidneys, activation of the erythropoietic cells in the bone marrow and thrombosis of the abdominal aorta. The possibility of secondary polycythaemia due to the lung neoplasia was not entirely excluded, but considered to be unlikely. Therefore, the definite diagnosis was

Lake Nasser about 290 km southwest of Aswan. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the “Nubian Monuments”, which run from Abu Simbel downriver to Philae (near Aswan). The twin temples were originally carved out of the mountainside during the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses II in the 13th century BC, as a lasting monument to himself and his queen Nefertari, to commemorate his alleged victory at the Battle of Kadesh, and to intimidate his Nubian neighbors. However, the complex was relocated in its entirety in the 1960s, on an artificial hill made from a domed structure, high above the Aswan High Dam reservoir. The relocation of the temples was necessary to avoid their being submerged during the creation of Lake Nasser, the massive artificialwater reservoir formed after the building of the Aswan High Dam on the Nile River. Abu Simbel remains one of Egypt’s top tourist attractions. 22. Karnak (Egypt) The Karnak Temple Complex — usually called simply Karnak — comprises a vast conglomeration of ruined temples, chapels, pylons and other buildings, notably the Great Temple of Amen and a massive structure begun by Pharaoh Amenhotep III (ca. 1391-1351 BC). It is located near Luxor, some 500 km south of Cairo, in Egypt. The area around Karnak was the ancient Egyptian Ipet-isut (”The Most Selected of Places”) and the main place of worship of the Theban Triad with the god Amun as its head. It is part of the monumental city of Thebes. The Karnak complex takes its name from the nearby (and

by the Ohio Tax Commissioner. 3 The government's action had been filed at the request of the Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force; the Civil Defense Preparedness Agency; the National Aeronautics and Space Administration; and the Federal Highway Administration. These governmental agencies had entered into contracts with various private corporations; under these agreements, each contractor was required to purchase, on behalf of the United States, various items of personal property. Although the property acquired was to be used by the contractors in the performance of their government contracts, title to the property was to vest in the United States at the time of delivery of the property to the contractors by the various vendors. 4 On August 18, 1977, the Tax Commissioner of the State of Ohio leviedsales and use tax assessments against the contractors. All of the assessments were based on the sale or use of property within the State of Ohio. Exactly one month after the assessments were made, they were challenged before the Ohio Board of Tax Appeals by three of the four government contractors against whom the assessments had been made. 5 On November 22, 1977, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio filed a complaint in that district alleging that the taxes assessed against the government contractors were improper under Ohio law.1 A declaration of that impropriety was sought under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1345 and 2201 (1976).2 On February 23, 1978, the district court, finding that it "appeared" that the United States had a "pecuniary interest in

Party, ANP) and other moderate, secular parties such as the PPP and the PML-N had a considerable political presence, counterbalancing the religious right. In the 2002 national elections, as the moderate parties were deliberately sidelined and the mullahs patronised by the state, the JUI eclipsed them, and Deobandis now run the MMA provincial government. Unlike Punjab and Sindh, where a majority follow Sufi Islam and its Barelvi component, in the Pashtun areas most Sunnis have gravitated towards a more puritanical version of Islam. Even before the current Deobandi ascendancy, the Afghan civil war and the resultant madrasa expansion had enhanced the JUI's political clout in Pashtun-majority areas. Since the province also has major areas of Shia concentration, such as Orakzai agency, Parachinar and Hangu in Kohat district, thisrise of Deobandi extremism has heightened sectarian tensions and conflict, even in such Hindko-speaking areas as Mansehra and Abottabad. Sectarianism in the province is unique in the sense that it can assume tribe-versus- tribe or village-versus- village dimensions. Since the province is also awash in arms, partly the legacy of the Afghan conflict and partly the state's failure to prevent proliferation, sectarian violence has often assumed the shape of prolonged conflict in which even weapons such as rockets and missiles are used. When the MMA was formed in 2002, it was expected that sectarian animosity would diminish somewhat because the alliance contains all major Shia and Sunni polito-religious organisations. This hope was misplaced since the alliance is based at best on political expediency, with each faction hoping to

The team received criticism from the sports blogosphere for choosing D’Antoni over former coach Phil Jackson, who was reportedly in discussions to coach the team until the eleventh hour.

This article deals with the mathematical modeling of the process of enzyme immobilization in porous membranes. During the initial period, an analytical solution is available to extract the rate constant for immobilization. Beyond this period, the model equations are solved numerically to yield the transient response of the enzyme concentration in the immobilizing solution and also the evolution of the enzyme loading profile inside the membrane. It is found that the immobilization practically ceases even through the attachment sites are still available within the membrane.

defendant mustered enough force to fracture the thickest part of his victim's skull and to rip apart membranes containing the brain. It was the brain herniation from the tears to that membrane that ultimately caused death. The victim displayed immediate signs of severe head injuries when blood began to exude from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. Under Reyes, the trial court correctly accepted that evidence as reasonably supporting the murder charge, subject to the jury's credibility determinations. In conclusion, we hold that the evidence produced overall by the State was sufficient to survive a motion for acquittal on the charge of murder. By including the murder charge among those sent to the jury in this matter, the trial court did not overcharge.

Zhou Shaoping, a 40-year-old woman from Anhui Province in China, underwent breast augmentation surgery at a local clinic 10 years ago. Soon after the surgery she fell in love and eventually got married. Not long after they were married, Zhou gave birth to a healthy baby girl. During her breastfeeding, however, Zhou was surprised to find that her breastmilk was yellow, and that her nipples were constantly leaking yellow liquid. It wasn’t until their daughter was three months old that Zhou remembered that liquid had been injected into her breasts as part of the augmentation surgery. She became concerned that the liquid might be leaking and stopped breastfeeding immediately, but it was too late — her daughter was diagnosed with cerebral palsy.

There is a decided difference between inducing a person to commit an unlawful act and furnishing contraband with which to commit such an act, and in setting the stage to catch an accused in the execution of criminal designs of his own conception. Jones v. State, 285 So.2d 152 (Miss. 1973), involves the question of entrapment in the sale of marijuana to a defendant. In Jones, the Court said: We are of the opinion that since the marijuana, which was the subject of the sale by defendant, was supplied to him by a confidential informant, thecrime syndicate since 2008 when roughly 80 members of the rival Cosa Nostra were arrested as part of a similar operation between the US and Italy. Since then, they have worked with the Gambinos as well as various cartels to develop a drug trafficking network affiliation that supplies a large part of the US and most of Latin America. The 'Ndrangheta-influenced affiliation supplies the Eastern U.S. while the Mexican cartels supply the West with homegrown tar, a purer brand than the brand that heads out East.

Knesset Member Michael Ben-Ari (National Union) and right-wing activists Itamar Ben-Gvir and Baruch Marzel also arrived at BG Airport with an Israeli flag ahead of the expected arrival of more pro-Palestinian activists. Police deplyed at Ben Gurion Airport (Photo: Ido Erez) The fly-in activists received precisedirections explaining how to act should the Israeli authorities refuse to allow them entry into Israel. The activists were told to leave a copy of their passport with a family member and to take the telephone numbers of local government officials in their countries. The activists were also briefed on the rules and regulations at Israel's airport in order to make it easier for them to deal with arguments against allowing them to enter Israel. Lihi Rothschild, an Israeli activist and one of the organizers of the 'flytilla,' said Israel's "willingness to arrest people who did not commit any crime and say they only came to visit Palestine is a hysterical response." Speaking to Ynet, she said, "It's unfortunate that European airlines are cooperating with this violation of human rights by

friends to understand, organize, unify and fight back against the onslaught for their own class interests. Here is where we find a basis to approach a solution. There are historical precedents for the successful elimination of drug lords, both elite and criminal and for bringing addicts back to productive social life. We begin with the case of China : After a century of British-imposed opium addiction, the Chinese revolution of 1949 took charge in arresting, prosecuting and executing the war-lord opium “entrepreneurs”. Millions of addicts were rehabilitated and returned to their communities, joining the workforce to build a new society. Likewise, the 1959 Cuban revolution smashed the drug dens and brothels run by brutal Cuban gangster oligarchs and death squad-leaders, together with American mafia bosses, like Meyer Lansky. These thugs andparasites were forced to flee to Miami, Palermo and Tel Aviv. The first step in an effective class-conscious drug war in the US would require the organization of mass movements, dedicated anti-drug lawyers, physicians, medical personnel and community organizers, as well as brave well-integrated educators and community leaders. A truly involved national Center for Disease Control, not a mouthpiece for the corporate elite, would be re-organized to collect quality national data on the scope and nature of the problem and provide further bases for reversing the trends of decreased life expectancy, increase child and maternal mortality and epidemic preventable-premature deaths among workers. The second step would involve taking control of the prescription of narcotics limited to the narrow indications recognized in other industrialized countries (intractable cancer pain or short term

FORT BRAGG, N.C. -- A former Navy SEAL testified Wednesday that his military career ended when he was shot in the leg during a hastily planned mission to find Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl after the soldier left his post in Afghanistan. Retired Senior Chief Petty Officer James Hatch told the judge that his team had about 90 minutes to plan their mission and board helicopters after receiving information about Bergdahl's purported whereabouts shortly after he disappeared in 2009. While pursuing enemy fighters on foot, Hatch was hit by fire from an AK-47. Hatch says he survived because members of his team quickly applied a tourniquet while waiting for a medical helicopter. "They saved me from bleeding to death for sure," he testified during the pretrial hearing. Hatch, who entered thedefense to probe potential jurors' feelings about Mr. Trump in a questionnaire being sent in the coming weeks. Prosecutors have objected to 17 of the approximately 40 questions, including ones asking how prospective panel members voted in the presidential election. "I'm going to let you ask pretty much all the questions, but with some changes to address the government's concerns," Nance said. Nance asked for further written arguments before the questionnaire is finalized. The judge previously said he would allow the defense wide leeway to question potential jurors, even though he rejected a motion to dismiss the case over Mr. Trump's comments entirely in a February ruling. Bergdahl left his remote post in Afghanistan in 2009 and was subsequently held by the Taliban and its allies for about five years. The

122 B.R. 668 (1990) In re NEW YORK CITY SHOES, INC. Misc. Nos. 90-0691, 90-0732. United States District Court, E.D. Pennsylvania. December 21, 1990. As Amended January 3, 1991. *669 Mary F. Walrath, Clark, Ladner, Fortenbaugh & Young, Stephen F. Ritner, Philadelphia, Pa., for New York City Shoes, Inc. Warren T. Pratt, Drinker, Biddle & Reath, Philadelphia, Pa., for Margolis & Co., P.C. MEMORANDUM GILES, District Judge. Margolis & Company, P.C. ("Margolis") is an accounting firm which New York City Shoes, Inc. ("Debtor") hired to audit its financial statements for the years of 1984, 1985 and 1986. After reviewing Debtor's statements for the ten-month period ending December 31, 1984, and the year ending *670 December 31, 1985, Margolis approved them as conforming to generally accepted accounting principles. However, during its audit of Debtor's financial statement for the yearending December 31, 1986, Margolis determined that substantial irregularities had occurred during that period in the reporting of corporate transactions. Margolis therefore refused to issue an opinion concerning the 1986 statement. As a result of this second audit, the accuracy of the 1984 and 1985 statements were also called into question. On July 7, 1987, Debtor filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. With the approval of the bankruptcy court, Margolis briefly performed further accounting services for Debtor. On December 30, 1987, it filed two proofs of claim in Debtor's bankruptcy proceeding, asserting an unsecured claim in the amount of $6,000 and an administrative claim in the amount of $11,556. These were not claims for services rendered in connection with the 1984-1985 audit. Margolis had previously

According to local media, Erdogan is also planning to cancel the visa policy between the two countries so Algerians will be able to travel to Turkey more easily. The good relationship between Turkey and Algeria is visible in the capital's streets. "Turkey is becoming a leader in terms of economy. The good relations between our two countries is an honour to all of us. We don't have the same relations with other Arab countries, because they are too divided," says local resident Hacene Boudaoud. Ferhat Ait Ali is an Algerian economist. For him, Turkey's economic strategy isyear's budget, but has ring-fenced housing, healthcare, education - areas cost that account for $60bn in government subsidies each year. The IMF has urged Algeria to go beyond the 9 percent cuts and reduce spending on basic food items and petrol - both also heavily subsidised.

France, Britain and other NATO forces. Developments in the Horn of Africa illustrate clearly the dangers of militarism and intelligence penetration. Somalia has been a battleground for the U.S. and its allies for over two decades. The invasion of December 1992 began a process of attempted domination of the region both inland and offshore. The intervention of Washington and its allies in the region has worsened the humanitarian crises of the people. Massive dislocation, disease and death are the by-products of U.S. imperialism. With 17,000 surrogate troops occupying Somalia under the rubric of the African Union Mission to Somalia (AMISOM) in conjunction with Ethiopian soldiers and the Kenya Defense Forces, the U.S. is in a position to strengthen the presence of the CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). Drones havebecome a regular weapon within the Somalia theater and these drones are being deployed throughout East Africa, the Arabian Peninsula as well as the Indian Ocean. Despite the heavy U.S.-led war against the people of Somalia, the country has yet to be subdued. The Al-Shabab resistance fighters are regrouping and launching renewed attacks in the south and central regions of the country. Oil is a key factor in the struggle for Somalia. New findings of both oil and natural gas inland and offshore throughout East Africa underlines the intensification of Pentagon and CIA presence in this region of the world. These findings provide new avenues of exploitation for the transnational corporations and the banks. The U.S. has troops deployed in Uganda, the Central African Republic, South Sudan and the eastern Democratic

Rebuilding a roster in Major League Soccer is not easy. If this is an inherited, underperforming, and overpaid squad, the task at hand gets even harder. That was the scenario Orlando City SC’s new front office navigated through to put together the team’s roster before the start of the 2019 season, which kicked off on Saturday with a 2-2 home tie against New York City FC. Executive Vice President of Soccer Operations Luiz Muzzi, Director of Scouting Ricardo Moreira, and Head Coach James O’Connor had all a very busy off-season and the roster building process will only be officially concluded when the team completes the signing of Swedish center back Robin Jansson, possibly in the next few days. The feeling among the group of executives, according to one source closea player the front office expects to bring some much-needed firepower to the team, City was only able to pull the trigger when it convinced Portuguese side Sporting CP to let him go for free, committing resources just for his salary. This strategy was previously attempted and nearly succeeded with Diego Ribas, but the player waited to accept long enough to get an offer (though not as lucrative as he was hoping) to return to Flamengo in Brazil. To acquire Sebas, on the other hand, the Lions did pay a transfer fee, but they are very confident the Ecuadoran international will develop in Florida and repay the club for its investment when he’s sold in the future. From there on, Orlando had to be creative. To acquire Danilo Acosta from

The children then ran to the building. They heard four to five more shots. LaDonna had seen Martin, Mapp, and Richardson in the parking lot just before the incident. She saw Martin and Mapp head toward her building. She saw a blue Isuzu Rodeo truck the three often used. Turnbull said as the man with the silver gun started shooting, the man with the black gun shoved Shelton, searched his pockets, and grabbed a chain from around his neck. The man with the black gun pointed it at Turnbull and the baby. The two then ran past her, taking off their masks. When the black gun was later found, no bullets had been fired. Only one mask was found. Shelton died from multiple gunshot wounds. All the shots came from Martin's gun. At trial, Mapp testified in his own defense. He said he did not plan to rob anyone. He cooperated with the police because he believed if he implicated Martin, they would return his mother's truck and let him go. He claimed the assistant State's Attorney had not read him the entire summary and he did not read it himself. He had the opportunity to read it. Mapp specifically denied hearing any sentence that implicated him as an accomplice. He admitted to hearing the attorney read every sentence that did not implicate him. Mapp testified that on the night of the shooting,

swiftly Thursday against senior figures of the Muslim Brotherhood, targeting the backbone of support for ousted President Mohammed Morsi. In the most dramatic step, authorities arrested the group's revered leader, Mohammed Badie, from a seaside villa and flew him by helicopter to detention in the capital. Officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Mohammed Badie was arrested Wednesday night in a resort village in Marsa Matrouh, a Mediterranean coastal city west of Cairo not far from the Libyan border. He had been staying in a villa owned by a businessman with Brotherhood links. State prosecutors said that Morsi would face an investigation next week into claims that he "insulted the presidency." The prosecutor's office, a day after the overthrow, ordered Badie's arrest, and his deputy Khairat el-Shater, sources told Reuters.The two were reportedly wanted for inciting the killing of protesters in front of the Brotherhood's headquarters in Cairo's southern neighborhood called Mokattam, the AFP reported. [pullquote] Al Ahram, a major state newspaper, reported that eight protesters were killed while attacking the headquarters, The New York Times reported. Publicly, the Brotherhood urged members to avoid violence during the most recent upheaval. Yet, there are widespread fears of Islamist violence in retaliation for Morsi's ouster, and already some former militant extremists have vowed to fight. Suspected militants opened fire at four sites in northern Sinai, targeting two military checkpoints, a police station and el-Arish airport, where military aircraft are stationed, security officials said. The military and security responded to the attacks but there was no word on casualities in the ongoing clashes. In

Two years later, local people launched an agitation demanding the permanent closure of the bottling plant after they noticed depletion and pollution of water in groundwater resources. Amid raging protests, the Perumatty grama panchayat passed a resolution on April 7, 2003, and decided not to renew the company's license. The company, however, was not ready to budge.

We systematically searched Medline via PubMed and the registers' websites to select all articles from national registers, RCTs and meta-analyses assessing hip and knee arthroplasty.

"other actions were going on". Mohammed Dahlan, head of Palestinian security in Gaza, dismissed the 24 withdrawals as cosmetic: "It is talk for television. It has no value on the ground." The Israeli government indicated yesterday that it envisaged its forces remaining in occupation of West Bank cities and towns such as Ramallah and Bethlehem for weeks, in spite of a call by Mr Powell, backed up by the US president, George Bush, for an immediate withdrawal. The Israel army said tanks and troops swept into the Palestinian towns of Bir Zeit and Dahariya and the Ein Beit Elma refugee camp, near the city of Nablus, yesterday, making dozens of arrests, seizing arms and occupying buildings. Israeli security sources said soldiers raided Tulkarm, also on the West Bank, and arrested a womanthe omitted context should have put to rest the understandable concerns and would have reassured the public of its commitment to free expression. Instead, there was a groveling apology, feeble reference to students’ First Amendment rights and the promise to reinforce “with our art teachers the need to foster a responsive, caring, and inclusive culture.” Getting in on the act was the Suburban Virginia Republican Coalition, which condemned the artwork and lashed out at the art teacher who had the temerity to stand up for her student by pointing out the work was commentary on the ugly racial policies of the current president. Seems to us that a student speaking out against racist stereotypes is the very epitome of caring and inclusiveness, and that art is supposed to provoke

Lessons learned from the 2011 debacle of the Fukushima nuclear power plant. The history of nuclear power generation in Japan is analyzed with respect to how the organizational structure of the "nuclear villages," composed of government, private companies and the academic world, negotiated with the growing technology before the Fukushima accident took place. Although nuclear specialists were aware of the potential for a disaster, that did not prevent the enthusiasm for nuclear. The majority of people trusted that new technology would make life easier. The organizational structure of the village consisted of a triangle in which each of the three groups and sub-groups maintained relationships with each other and with the village as a whole to secure its own share of the economic benefits.

In the year 1795, a British East Indiaman bound for China had a sick sailor on board who was diagnosed as having testis cancer by the ship's surgeon, who then treated him with an antiscorbutic diet, because scurvy was rampant among the sailors. He was completely cured of his cancer, as reported in the Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal by Livingstone in 1805. However, the sailor actually had scurvy and not testis cancer. This diagnostic error has been perpetuated in the medical literature until rectified by Shetty after 191 years. This is reconstructed account of the sailor's case history and the ship's journey as it actually took place in 1795 AD.

Clean-cut All-American Boys: Circumcision in the USA Most pages on this site are about USA infant circumcision. This page just brings many of those threads together. The role of infant circumcision in the United States of America is mysterious. The US is the only country in the world where the majority of baby boys have part of their penises cut off for non-religious reasons. Yet this extraordinary custom is very much taken for granted. If it were being introduced today, it would certainly be rejected as barbaric and un-American. History Contrary to most accounts, the ancient history of ritual circumcision is almost completely irrelevant to the US. Secular circumcision began as a "cure" for masturbation late in the 19th century in England. It swiftly crossed the Atlantic - though it was only everInpatient Circumcision Rate by state in 2004 The number of baby boys who are circumcised as outpatients, in doctors' offices, etc. is unknown. - Figures from the US Department of Health and Human Services Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Conformity Peer pressure, social pressure, and pressure from circumcised fathers and grandparents intoning the mantra "A boy should look like his father", all have combined to make "circumcised" an integral part of the concept of a USAmerican man. Rights Infant circumcision flies in the face of the country's far older tradition of Liberty and individual rights.

She received an excellent education, and rose through the ranks of the prestigious company than owned her father’s own financial holding group. She, married, bought a home, enjoyed the fruits of a shallow squabbling upper class. Unfortunately, amidst Zhi Lin’s rise, her father was arrested for fraud and embezzlement. Her company saw her as a liability and embarrassment, and her father’s corporate and underworld rivals saw her as a problem to be nipped in the bud, threatening her with blackmail and extortion. Seeing the way the wind was blowing, her husband left her. It grew impossible for her to continue living in China, and so, with mobsters on her heels, she fled overseas.

Jose Aldo will defend his title against Conor McGregor in the main event of UFC 189 on July 11 in Las Vegas, McGregor announced Friday before UFC 183 weigh-ins here at MGM Grand. McGregor earned the opportunity with his second-round TKO win over Dennis Siver earlier this month. "We have the fight date for McGregor-Aldo, the biggest fight of the year," McGregor said. "Saturday, July 11th, International Fight Week, I'm gonna rip that Brazilian's head off." The fight has been anticipated for some time now. McGregor's charisma and trash talk combined with his three straight knockouts since coming back from a torn ACL have made putting the fight together academic. The UFC has been building it brilliantly for months and

In our Legend Memories series, we will be taking a look back at the very best plays from the program's very best. We will whittle down each superstar's highlights to career-defining moments. Today, we continue the series with arguably the most terrifying running back in program history: LaMichael James. James played at Oregon from 2009 to 2011. He helped lead the Ducks to three Pac-12 championship, a BCS National Title game appearance and a Rose Bowl win over Wisconsin. Prior to last season, James owned the top spot in every major career rushing stat. It's worth noting that while Royce Freeman did surpass James, he did so in four years compared to three for James. James also missed several games due to injury throughout his career.Haidee V Eugenio Pacific Daily News Archbishop Savio Hon Tai Fai announced Monday that the church is reconstituting the Archdiocesan Finance Council to help the church reposition its assets, including a multimillion-dollar property in Yona, in anticipation of lawsuits by victims of clergy abuse on Guam. Gov. Eddie Calvo on Sept. 23 signed a law that lifts the statute of limitations to allow victims of child sexual abuse to sue their abusers as well as anyone who helped them and the institutions with which they are affiliated. The church, before the bill was signed, lobbied against it, stating it could open up the church to financially crippling lawsuits. Several former Agat altar boys have accused Archbishop Anthony Apuron of sexually abusing them in the 1970s, when he was parish priest. The archdiocese

is virtually identical with the situation presented in State v. Lewis, supra, wherein the investigating officers, awaiting the arrival of a police tow truck following defendant's arrest, noticed a white T-shirt lying on the front seat. An officer was able to see that eye holes had been cut from the garment. He seized the shirt as evidence. This Court reasoned: "Probable cause to search the auto existed because it was identified by description and license number as the likely get-away car, it led to the apprehension of the defendants and recovery of fruits of the crime, and it contained the robber's mask, plainly visible from the outside, and possibly additional contraband. The automobile was parked in a public place, a city street outside defendant Berry's apartment. It was thereforeat 7404 Spruce Street had been followed from the scene of the robbery to that spot by a suspicious citizen. Further investigation and a search of the premises led to the arrest of defendant and recovery of the currency. Defendant admitted his perpetration of the robbery and even led the officers to the stolen cash and a gun. The sunglasses and suede hat coincided with eyewitnesses' accounts of defendant's apparel at the time of the robbery. These items were thus valuable evidence to be used to verify the earlier description of the assailant. Further tracking Lewis, the vehicle here was parked on a public street, readily accessible to Thomas' common-law wife or other persons who might have a reason to move it or remove evidence from it. Thus, this

Our dealings with the law of Armed Conflict were limited. Scholarship and literature on international law were limited. Our office library was but a few shelves,” said Brig. Gen. Sharon Afek, the IDF’s Military Advocate General, during his opening remarks. “Our discussions together are vital. Together we can strengthen the rule of law, and ensure that the law develops in a way that cements its relevance and prominence,” Afek said. Representatives from the militaries of the United States and Australia, the defense ministries of the United Kingdom and France, and law schools from around the world were slatedto speak at the conference, the second such event hosted by the IDF. Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit addressed the conference, lauding Israel’s commitment to international law. Former president of Tel Aviv University and dean of its law school, Prof. Yoram Dinstein, who is widely considered an expert on the laws of armed conflict, delivered the conference’s keynote address. However, his remarks were closed to the press, as was much of the conference. It is Israel’s second time hosting a conference like this, with the last one taking place two years ago, under the direction of then-military advocate general Maj. Gen. Danny Efroni. Unlike national criminal laws, there is no single compendium of rules governing warfare or a body charged with maintaining it. There are some agreements, like the Geneva Convention, that are

Popular October 20, 2005 Hurricane Wilma crashes into Mexico, tourists flee by Sam Savage By Noel Randewich CANCUN, Mexico (Reuters) - Roaring waves pounded Mexican beach resorts on Thursday and thousands of tourists were evacuated to escape the wrath of Hurricane Wilma, which gathered strength in the Caribbean on its way to Florida. Cuba evacuated 220,000 people and residents of southern Florida stocked up on drinking water and gas to prepare for Wilma, which spun off the coasts of Mexico and Belize packing winds of around 150 mph (240 kph). Described by forecasters as extremely dangerous, Wilma killed 10 people in mudslides in Haiti earlier in the week. Expensive beachfront hotels all along Mexico's "Maya Riviera" coast emptied of tourists who fled to shelters. The normally calm, turquoise Caribbean heaved and frothed and rain began to fall. "We are trying to stay calm, but we are freakingout inside," said Kerry Rieth, a tourist from Pennsylvania in the cloud-covered resort of Cancun. Winds were strong and heavy rains were expected later in the day. Wilma became the strongest Atlantic storm on record in terms of barometric pressure on Wednesday. It weakened to a Category 4 hurricane, then picked up again as it headed for Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, where it was expected to hit on Friday. "Believe me, this is still a very, very powerful hurricane," said Max Mayfield, director of the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami. The hurricane season has six weeks left and has already spawned three of the most intense storms on record. Hurricane experts say the Atlantic has entered a period of heightened storm activity that could last another 20 years. The storm was expected to miss Gulf of Mexico oil and gas facilities battered by Hurricanes Katrina

I see him playing at his highest level, and I'm sure he'll continue to reinvent himself." That's high praise coming from Spoelstra, who had a front-row seat as Leonard led the Spurs over the Heat in the 2014 Finals. But perhaps Spoelstra's claim that Leonard is playing better than ever isn't that far-fetched. Dallas Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle believes the forward actually benefited from his long layoff. "When you sit out the majority of a season, it's really as if he hasn't aged a year in terms of wear and tear on his body," Carlisle said. "From that perspective, he has got to be excited, the Raptors have to be excited, and he's still very young." Mark Blinch / National Basketball Association / Getty As impressive as his scoring has been, anydebate over Leonard's return to form begins and ends with his ability to impact the game on the defensive end, and so far, the testimonials match the eye test. "(The Raptors) added the best two-way player in the league," New Orleans Pelicans head coach Alvin Gentry says. "I don't think there’s any question about that." That, coming from the coach who spends every day with Anthony Davis. There are some signs that Leonard might not be back to his usual defensive standards just yet. Entering Wednesday's five-steal performance, his steals and block rates were either career lows or the lowest since his rookie season. In addition, the Raptors' defensive rating has been better with Leonard on the bench (101.7 points allowed per 100 possessions) compared to when he's on the court

The Truro Church and the Falls Church voted instead to place themselves instead under the authority of the Anglican Archbishop of Nigeria, Peter Akinola ñ who has called for the Episcopal Church to be ostracised by the rest of the Communion. Akinola has also leant support to a new law in Nigeria which criminalises homosexual behaviour which civil rights activists have described as ìdegrading and inhumanî. The parishes

to Trump's demand for a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border with calls for "bridges not walls." When asked specifically about Trump's plans, after a trip to the border to celebrate Mass, Francis said anyone who wants to build a wall "isn't Christian." That resonates strongly among the Scalabrinians who devote their work to migrants. "Walls are not for human beings," Souza said by phone from Honduras. "They are for merchandise and for organized crime." Andrew Chesnut, a professor of religious studies at Virginia Commonwealth University, said that in Panama, Francis is likely to make "a prophetic call for governments, above all the United States and Mexico, to receive Central American migrants with respect and dignity" in addition to denouncing poverty, corruption, drug violence and killings of women.

added the possibility would increase greatly without approval of the tax plan by the end of the year. Senior White House adviser David Axelrod also noted "real consequences" for the American people if Congress failed to approve the package, which includes a two-year extension of Bush-era tax cuts set to expire at the end of the year, as well as 13 months of unemployment benefits and a cut of 2 percentage points in the payroll tax. Democrats in both the House and Senate have criticized the agreement negotiated with congressional Republicans as too expensive and giving away too much to their political opponents. Leaving a caucus meeting of House Democrats with Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday night, Rep. Peter DeFazio of Oregon said Biden "made it clear that this wasit" and no changes to the proposal would be accepted. Well over half of the roughly two dozen Democrats who got up to speak at the meeting were strongly opposed to the deal, DeFazio said, including himself. The agreement shows that "Republicans won a game of chicken," he said, arguing that the White House compromised too quickly. Rep. Frank Kratovil of Maryland, who lost his re-election bid last month, said he would vote for the agreement because the plan will help the economy. Kratovil warned that Democrats need to learn the lesson of the mid-term election -- that voters believe they "'took their eye off the ball" on the economy and must do what they can to prove they are listening now. On the Senate side, Democrats showed more openness to

Mr. Nasheed, post-Copenhagen meeting of 2009, where he became a global leader just one year after taking office in his own State, back home arranged for his cabinet to have an “under-water” government cabinet meeting for the sake of the global media. This is part of the documentary film ‘The Island President’that was released this week in New York City, and the film tour brought him also to a Columbia University event where he met students including backers of his from 2009. Mr. Nasheed, when asked about the road to RIO+20 said that the UN cannot do it because they will pick always the lowest common denominator among Nations – and this is not enough. He said that in the end the US will have to actit alone like Germany started to do it. To my question about a government’s responsibility to protect its citizens he answered that the Maldive military behind the coup is interested in business projects and not in the future of the islands. His interest is in replenishing coral reefs and fish stock. ON POLITICS IN GENERAL MR. NASHEED REMARKED THAT IT IS EASY TO REMOVE A DICTATOR BUT NOT TO FLUSH OUT HUNDREDS OF YEARS OF THE OLD SYSTEM.

That's precisely how the game is being pitched. When I sat down to try the handheld title at TGS, I was told that it was essentially "Pikmin for adults." Having spent a sizable amount of time with the game, I'm more inclined to think of it as "Pikmin for adolescent boys who like to doodle on their Trapper Keepers." Which isn't a bad thing. In Army Corps of Hell, players control a skeletal demon lord of sorts, who is himself in control of a massive horde of goblins. Somewhat reminiscent of Overlord, goblins come in several flavors: Swordsmen, mages and spearmen. Each

Just yesterday BroadwayWorld was saddened to report that Carrie Fisher, best known as Star Wars' Princess Leia Organa, died after suffering a heart attack. She was 60. Now we have learned her mother, Debbie Reynolds, (Hollywood icon and mother of Fisher), has passed away following a stroke at the home of her son this afternoon. Reynolds was reportedly taken to the emergency room just after 1pm. Her condition upon admittance to the hospital was listed as "fair to serious." Read More: How Debbie Reynolds Saved Old Hollywood - click here. Reynolds' career began unexpectedly in 1948 when she won a beauty contest at the age of 16. Two of the contest judges were scouts from Warner Brothers and MGM. When they heard Reynolds' show-stopping rendition of Betty Hutton's "I'm Just aSquare in a Social Circle," they took an interest in the talented singer. With their help, Reynolds eventually became a triple-threat star. She soon made her screen debut with June Haver and James Baron in "The Daughter of Rosie O'Grady." A subsequent performance in a Busby Berkley musical, "Two Weeks with Love," convinced Louis B. Mayer to choose Reynolds for the lead female role opposite Gene Kelly and Donald O'Conner in "Singin' in the Rain," which received several Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations and was ranked No. 1 on the American Film Institute's list of the top 100 musicals of all time.

Nelson, a judge of the district court in and for Cascade County, the defendant's motion seeking a change of the place of his trial was, by a written order of District Judge Nelson denied but, with the express written proviso that "if at the time of trial prejudice is shown in securing a jury motion may be re-opened." One week after the making of the above order denying defendant's motion for a change of the place of trial,him, to which he replied he had none, and, no sufficient cause being shown or appearing, the trial court rendered its judgment adjudging that the defendant, Robert Wade Jones, was and is guilty of the offense of assault in the first degree as was charged in the information, together with having theretofore suffered the aforesaid three separate and admitted felony convictions "and that he be punished by confinement in the State Prison in Powell County, State of Montana, at hard labor for the period of his natural life." From the judgment so made and entered on the jury's verdict herein the defendant, Robert Wade Jones, has appealed. THE EVIDENCE. At the trial the State's witnesses testified as follows: Jasper Richardson. The witness Jasper Richardson testified: On July 10, 1961 he was

Popular February 21, 2006 House Democrat says White House nixed NSA briefing by Sam Savage By David Morgan WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A top intelligence official was prepared to brief the House of Representatives intelligence committee about President George W. Bush's domestic spying program last December but was stopped by White House Chief of Staff Andy Card, a leading House Democrat said on Tuesday. Rep. Jane Harman of California, ranking Democrat on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said she and fellow Democrats on the panel sought a briefing from deputy U.S. intelligence chief, Air Force Gen. Michael Hayden, soon after Bush confirmed the existence of the surveillance program. "Gen. Hayden said he was prepared to brief the full committee but our request was disapproved by White House Chief of Staff Andy Card," Harman said in a statement issued by her office. White House spokeswoman Dana Perinohe drove down the ramp for launching boats into the water," Schofield said. "He was unfamiliar with the area is the only answer I have for you." A witness jumped into the water and smashed one of the car's windows, allowing the man and his two dogs to escape, but a cat in a pet carrier did not survive.

Running those clinics included revamping the detainee care system at Abu Ghraib after the scandal broke, treating infamous "Deck of Cards" leaders such as Tariq Aziz, Ali Hassan al-Majid — better known as "Chemical Ali" — and Saddam Hussein, and working feverishly over several days to save badly wounded Marines during the 2004 Fallujah offensive. "That was one week of sleepless nights," Lee recalled. "That was bad." The Sept. 12, 2004 car bomb attack prematurely ended Lee's deployment. He was treated at two Army hospitals in Iraq, transferred to Germany and then to Walter Reed where he spent four months. He underwent four surgeries andextensive physical rehabilitation, and lobbied unsuccessfully to return to his unit in Baghdad. Lee said he suffered for two years after returning from Iraq. He thought that, as a physician, he should be immune to post traumatic stress. His brain injury heightened frustrations that strained his relationship with his wife and children. "The kids were just deathly afraid of me — my wife couldn't handle it," Lee said. "I'm known as a goofy kind of guy in my friends circle, but it was all gone, lost.

However, he denied selling cocaine and testified that he told Gillum that he did not want to be involved in the cocaine sales. He described Gillum as incessantly calling and requesting that he participate so that Gillum could make the money to support his daughter and repay a loan that Gillum owed to the defendant. 7 At the close of the government's proof, the defendant made a motion for judgment of acquittal on all three counts. The district court dismissed the two firearms counts but denied the motion as to the cocaine count.

Long legged and short tailed, it stands 40–45 centimetres (16–18 inches) at the shoulder and varies from 66 to 76 cm in length excluding its 20–25-cm tail. The swift caracal is generally solitary and nocturnal in habit. It preys on birds and mammals, such as gazelles, hares, and peafowl. In Asia, where it has become rare, it has been trained as a hunting animal. The female bears litters of one to four young, which resemble

Coselli further testified that the appellant went around the store before approaching the counter to inquire where he might find the Crown Royal. Upon retrieving a bottle of Crown Royal and placing it on the counter, the appellant was asked if there would be anything else. Appellant responded by leaning across the counter with a pistol and demanding the money in the cash register. Approximately one week later, appellant was arrested for an outstanding warrant during a routine traffic stop. Appellant was placed in a lineup where he was positively identified by Coselli. Appellant's appointed trial court counsel withdrew after two months due to conflict problems. New counsel was appointed and soon thereafter, appellant decided to continue his defensewaiver, the identity of Officer Wilkinson, and the coat were all available to appellant at trial.[2] Thus, appellant has failed to overcome the first prong of Boone. Accordingly, we overrule appellant's third, fourth, and fifth points of error. Points of error six and seven In points of error six and seven, appellant contends that he was deprived of his constitutional rights under the sixth and fourteenth amendments because while defending himself pro se, he was excluded from the pretrial discovery process. As outlined above, appellant argues that the State failed to provide him with his signed waiver of counsel at the lineup, the name of the officer who selected the lineup participants, and the coat appellant was wearing at the time of his arrest. Appellant argues that by prohibiting him

advocates, calls for its abolition were largely limited to left-wing activists, who pointed to ICE's history of detaining and removing people with no criminal history aside from misdemeanor immigration violations. That changed this year, when the administration of President Donald Trump implemented a "zero tolerance" policy for unauthorized border crossings that led to the separation of thousands of immigrant children from their parents. Photographs of young immigrants in cages and an audio recording of distraught children sparked widespread outrage, and calls for the replacement of ICE went mainstream. "I believe that any connection to ICE, however tenuous, after their participation in separating families at the border, amounts to collusion with their human rights violations," said Mary Annas, an English Department faculty member at Northeastern.

India and Pakistan, military conflict has engulfed the two countries in 1965, 1971 and 1999, and countless smaller skirmishes and cross-border aggressions. And with the far-right Hindu fundamentalist government of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi facing an election this spring, Modi is under pressure to appear tough. The capture of the Indian air force pilot further raises the stakes.

Additionally, in this time period, Palermo leased a Mercedes Benz and obtained health insurance through Chipman, obtained an unofficial credit line and cashed thousands of dollars in checks with HA, performed money exchanges with friends, received investment reimbursements from Hourihan, and siphoned off proceeds from the 455 CPW closing in a series of inter-entity transfers. In the pre-petition year itself, Palermo continued these activities by cashing checks with HA from his various entities, taking advances from McLean and Herlihy against entitlements in the South Boston and River East transactions, and using his various entities to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in personal expenses — tuition, social clubs, and his divorce settlement — from the funds he received through these cash advance and transfer schemes.was all Palermo's. Money was owed to him for his introductions and consulting services.

Since Palermo retained the beneficial ownership, the entire thrust of the transfer was secretive in nature.

Photo : Getty Police in Concord, California arrested a teenager earlier this week and charged him with 14 felony counts after discovering the high schooler launched a phishing campaign directed at teachers in order to steal their passwords and change grades. The 16-year-old student, whose name was not released because he’s a minor, was arrested Wednesday following an investigation launched by local law enforcement, with assistance from a Contra Costa County task force and the US Secret Service, KTVU reported. Reports of the hack first started to trickle into police two weeks ago, when teachers in the Mount Diablo Unified School District started receiving suspicious emails in their inbox. As it turns out, they were part of a phishing attempt launched by the student. The email messages contained a link that sentby the police, the student admitted to the crime and took a little victory lap, telling ABC7 News “It was like stealing candy from a baby.” He has since been suspended from his school, Ygnacio Valley High School, for the hack. Police released him to his parents while he waits for a court date to be set. The young hacker joins a growing list of students who have sought to improve their grades without studying. Similar hacking schemes have been executed by students in Alabama, Louisiana, New Jersey, and New York, among others. A student at the University of Iowa changed grades more than 90 times and stole tests and exams after stealing passwords with a keylogger. The trend says more about the cybersecurity preparedness of schools than anything. Most

In May 1845 the Magnetic Telegraph Company was formed in order to radiate telegraph lines from New York City towards Philadelphia, Boston, Buffalo, New York and the Mississippi.4 Samuel Morse The first telegraph office Morse also at one time adopted Wheatstone and Carl August von Steinheil’s idea of broadcasting an electrical telegraph signal through a body of water or down steel railroad tracks or anything conductive. He went to great lengths to win a lawsuit for the right to be called "inventor of the telegraph", and promoted himself as being an inventor, but Alfred Vail played an important role in the invention of the Morse Code, which was based onearlier codes for the electromagnetic telegraph. Samuel Morse received a patent for the telegraph in 1847, at the old Beylerbeyi Palace (the present Beylerbeyi Palace was built in 1861–1865 on the same location) in Istanbul, which was issued by Sultan Abdülmecid who personally tested the new invention.[9] 5 In the 1850s, Morse went to Copenhagen and visited the Thorvaldsens Museum, where the sculptor’s grave is in the inner courtyard. He was received by King Frederick VII, who decorated him with the Order of the Dannebrog. Morse expressed his wish to donate his portrait from 1830 to the king. The Thorvaldsen portrait today belongs to Margaret II of Denmark. The Morse telegraphic apparatus was officially adopted as the standard for European telegraphy in 1851.

Pennsylvania Standouts Albright and Olsen Unite to Lead U.S. U-23s to 3-0 Victory in Their Opener of Olympic Qualifying Tournament NewsApr 21, 2000 HERSHEY, Pa. (Friday, April 21, 2000) - In what could only be described as a storybook win, the U.S. Under-23 Men's National Team used two goals from Philadelphia native Chris Albright and two assists from Middletown native Ben Olsen to produce an impressive 3-0 opening round win over Honduras and please the parka-packing crowd of 11,229 in the first night of competition in the CONCACAF 2000 Olympics Qualifying Tournament at Hersheypark Stadium. Add an important assist and a game- clinching goal from second-half sub John Thorrington, and the trio was responsible for all of U.S. team's notches on the scoreboard. "Well, it was good to get that onethe field. The ball was poorly cleared to the feet of Olsen, who reared back and flung a cross into the box that Albright ran on to with an outstretched leg and knocked it home. It was clear from the opening seconds of the second half that Honduras intended to push everyone forward in an attempt to earn the equalizer. Honduras started the second half with two offensive substitutions, and it paid immediate dividends, as the Central American side mounted a seemingly endless series of attacks. Other than a breakdown that resulted in a point-blank shot by second-half sub Hesler Phillips that was expertly saved by U.S. netminder Adin Brown, the Americans stifled everything that was thrown at them during a tense span of 15 minutes.

President Donald Trump speaks at the House and Senate GOP lawmakers at the annual policy retreat in Philadelphia, Thursday, Jan. 26, 2017. Pablo Martinez Monsivais/AP WASHINGTON (AP) — On his first full day in office, President Donald Trump called the acting director of the National Park Service to dispute widely circulated photos of Trump's inauguration. The Washington Post reported Thursday that Trump personally ordered park service head Michael Reynolds to produce additional photographs of the previous day's crowds on the National Mall. The president believed that the photos might prove that the news media had lied in reporting that attendance had been no better than average, the newspaper said. The Post reported that Reynolds forwarded additional photos to the White House as requested. Photos taken that day made clear that crowdsothers run by the department in response to the retweeted photos and another tweet that pointed out that webpages about some issues, including climate change, had been removed from the White House site. The Interior Department accounts were reactivated the next day. Park service employees launched a Twitter campaign against Trump this week. After three climate-science tweets by Badlands National Park were deleted, several other parks posted tweets related to climate change in an apparent show of solidarity and defiance. Trump has called climate change a hoax, and many readers saw the climate-related tweets as a message of defiance to the new president. Tom Crosson, the chief spokesman for the park service, declined to comment on any of the tweets sent out by park service accounts, but he said there is no

With him on the briefs were John R. Harper II, Thomas I. Atkins, J. LeVonne Chambers, Lani Guinier, and Eric Schnapper. David A. Strauss argued the cause for the United States as amicus curiae urging reversal. With him on the brief were Solicitor General Lee, Assistant Attorney General Reynolds, Deputy Solicitor General Wallace, Deputy Assistant Attorney General Turner, Barbara E. Etkind, and Jessica Dunsay Silver. Treva G. Ashworth, Senior Assistant Attorney General of South Carolina, argued the cause for appellees and filedand an elected Superintendent of Education. The county comprises two school districts, School District No. 1, where the vast majority of white students live, and School District No. 2, which is predominantly black.[2] Each District was governed by a separate six-member Board of Trustees. These trustees were appointed by a six-member County Board of Education, which in turn was appointed by the county legislative delegation. On February 18, 1982, apparently in an attempt to facilitate consolidation of these two School Districts,[3] the South Carolina General Assembly enacted Act No. 547. This statute provided that, beginning in 1983, the six members of the County Board of Education were to be elected at large rather than appointed. The first election for the new Board was to be held simultaneously with the

he was prejudiced by the rescheduling of the hearings. The hearing on the original motion was scheduled for August 23, 1990. The hearing on the amended motion and the summary judgment motion was on August 9, 1990, 14 days earlier than the hearing on the original motion had been scheduled. Hilliard also argues that he was prejudiced by his counsel's failure to attend the hearing. The record indicates that Hilliard's counsel was in a federal court in another state on August 9, 1990, and did not have sufficient time to reschedule the federal court appearance. We find that Hilliard was prejudiced by the failure to comply with the 10-day notice requirement. We reverse and remand. REVERSED AND REMANDED. HORNSBY, C.J., and SHORES, ADAMS, KENNEDY and INGRAM, JJ., concur. MORE THAN HALF a century ago, E. P. Thompson pioneered a new approach to labor history in The Making of the English Working Class. Thompson was dismayed with the bourgeois idea that history is made by great men, and the occasional princess or queen, but also frustrated with socialist histories that replace statesmen and business moguls with wise, if not infallible, party leaders and union bosses allegedly executing the iron laws of history. Thompson shifted his focus to diverse groups of working people who, by defending their moral values and dignity against their bosses, would morph (or “make themselves”) into a working class with, across persisting differences, some sort of collective identity. The work that Thompson produced to empirically support his arguments inspired a new generation of left-wing historians who

the Iraqi security services, and the guerrillas' apparent ability to strike at will, has prompted fears that the initiative in the conflict is slipping from the coalition's hands. During a news conference in the heavily guarded compound housing the Iraq's U.S.-led administration, Armitage appeared anxious to ease such fears. "I'm pretty convinced after this short visit ... that we will take this fight to the enemy," he said. Later Saturday, detonations were heard inBaghdad (search). An Iraqi police officer, Maj. Kadhim Abbas Hamza, said a mortar shell exploded in the yard in front of the main railway station and there were no casualties. At the same time, coalition troops blocked traffic across the Jumhuriya Bridge near the U.S. command compound known as the "Green Zone." For the first time since the endof major combat in May, U.S. jets and helicopters circled overhead through the night sky with their navigation lights turned off. Separately, the military said on Sunday that a soldier from the 1st Armored Division died and another was wounded when their vehicle struck a mine in Baghdad's Wehda district late Saturday. Two soldiers of the 82nd Airborne Division also died on Saturday when a homemade bomb exploded beside their vehicle about in Fallujah, a center of Sunni Muslim resistance 40 miles west of Baghdad, the military said. Their deaths brought to 36 the number of American soldiers who have died in Iraq this month. In Geneva, the international Red Cross said Saturday it was temporarily closing its offices in Baghdad and Basra because of the security situation. The Red Cross had

‘black death’. The social impacts of the Black Death in Europe during the 14th century The overall mortality rate varied from city to city, but in places such as Florence as observed by Boccaccio up to half the population died, the Italians calling the epidemic the mortalega grande, ‘the great mortality’. [18] People died with such rapidity that proper burial or cremation could not occur, corpses were thrown into large pits and putrefying bodies lay in their homes and in the streets. People were as much afraid they would suffer a spiritual death as they were a physical death since there were no clergy to perform burial rites: “Shrift there was none; churches and chapels were open, but neither priest nor penitents entered – all went to the charnelhouse. The sextonand the physician were cast into the same deep and wide grave; the testator and his heirs and executors were hurled from the same cart into the same hole together.”18 Transmission of the disease was thought to be by miasmas, disease carrying vapours emanating from corpses and putrescent matter or from the breath of an infected or sick person. Others thought the Black Death was punishment from God for their sins and immoral behaviour, or was due to astrological and natural phenomena such as earthquakes, comets, and conjunctions of the planets. People turned to patron saints such as St Roch and St Sebastian or to the Virgin Mary, or joined processions of flagellants whipping themselves with nail embedded scourges and incanting hymns and prayers as they passed from town

Background ========== Blackcurrant (*Ribes nigrum*L.) is grown widely throughout temperate areas of Europe and New Zealand, with an annual production of 160,000 tonnes in Europe and 185,000 tonnes globally \[[@B1]\]. The centres of genetic diversity for blackcurrant are situated in northern Scandinavia and Russia, although species are also found in North and South America, Asia and northwest Africa \[[@B2]\]. The fruit has very high nutritional value, in terms of the content of ascorbic acid and other antioxidants \[[@B3]\], and its primary commercial use is processing for juice. In the UK, varieties are chosen to give a spread of cropping seasons. Timing of leaf budbreak is an important physiological factor in the developmental processes leading to cropping of blackcurrant, as uniformity of development is essential for both successful harvesting and fornew facilities.^[@ref19],[@ref20]^ To address this issue, a new facility was founded (known as airborne infections research (AIR) a Mpumalanga provincial TB referral hospital, under joint collaboration with Medical research council (MRC), Council for scientific and industrial research (CSIR) and overseas consultants) where primarily, guinea pigs were used as human surrogates, in conditions closely monitored and controlled to resemble humans in their response to TB infection. A study was done by AIR team to investigate the effectiveness of UV radiation in preventing the spread of the TB disease, especially MDR and XDR variants. In their findings, they established that upper room germicidal UV air disinfection with air mixing was exceedingly effective in decreasing tuberculosis transmission under ambient hospital conditions. This finding supported using both a total fixture output of 15-20

Director, and others. The reporters were spellbound by the story told by Birney and McCaffrey, and committed to actively assisting in exposing the miscarriage of justice. In particular, the press committee members agreed to work with Attorney Murphy by filing an Amicus Curiae (“Friend of the Court”) brief in support of the journalists’ lawsuit against the PSNI. After the meeting with the reporters, the contingent then met with Congressmen Brendan Boyle of Pennsylvania and Richie Neal of Massachusetts. Both Congressmen arranged to take time away from their obligations on the House Ways and Means Committee to welcome us.

Here we are not even 20 years after the largest Islamic terrorist attack in US history thanks to dangerous immigration policies by George W. Bush and Barack Obama. Both Bush and Obama flooded the US with millions of Muslims under the guise they are poor ‘refugees’ looking for a better life and now the name Muhammad tops traditional Christian names for boys such as Jonathan, Christopher, James, Michael and Joseph. This should alarm Americans across the country.

Image copyright Robin Stott/Geograph/Gwent Police An armed stalker who tried to get to his ex-girlfriend at her university campus has been jailed. Soldier Conner Jones, 19, was armed with a Heckler and Koch pistol but was refused access onto the Penglais campus at Aberystwyth University. Jones, of Caerphilly, was jailed for 30 months after admitting stalking Megan Francis and possessing a firearm and an extendable baton in a public place. Judge Geraint Walters said: "This is truly disturbing and bizarre." Jones also admitted sending unwanted text messages, following Miss Francis and repeatedly parking close to her accommodation. Ian Wright, prosecuting, said Jones had been in a relationship with Miss Francis for more than a year. But after they broke up in 2016, he began to stalk her and on 17 March he arrived at theEuropean NATO Theater. Ironically some of these same critics of missile defense had actually supported a legislated prohibition in 1981-3 of any effort by the then Reagan administration to give the original Patriot–an air defense system–a missile defense capability of any kind. What was unanticipated was the effect of the Persian Gulf War on missile defense despite Patriots difficulty in shooting down Saddam’s Scuds. The Iraqi missiles killed over two dozen American soldiers then deployed in Saudi Arabia as part of the mission to liberate Kuwait. Congress responded with both a push to deploy defenses against short and medium range rockets but with the collapse of the Soviet Union, also proposed ALPS—an accidental launch protection system– designed to stop an unauthorized or accidental launch of long range ICBMs against the US

others all had their respective seasons defined in part by QB availability. Evans took nearly every non-garbage time snap for Tulsa in 2015, but he took a lot of hits in the process, and it was perhaps a bit lucky that he didn't end up on the sidelines for a while. Tulsa's retooled line kept defenders out of the backfield in the run game (with help from Langer's ability to fall forward) but struggled in pass protection. Evans' willingness to extend plays to look downfield didn't really help in this regard. But regardless of fault, Evans took 40 sacks while rushing 56 additional times. That's risky. Tulsa's line must replace two starters but returns four: 2014 starter Blake Belcher returns after tearing his ACL in the first game of lastseason. His return, along with that of veterans like Zac Uhles and Alex Pagonis (and the addition of big JUCO Deya Mhiesen) should assure that Tulsa's line is at least as effective as it was last year. Still, 2015 backup QB and former four-star prospect Chad President should be ready to go -- Evans might be due a knock or two. (Meanwhile, in my opinion, the fact that Tulsa signed linemen with the beautiful names of Rowdy Frederick and Tiller Bucktrot should have earned the Golden Hurricane's class an automatic spot in the top 25.)

A little more than a year ago, Williams arrived at the French Open unbeaten for the season on red clay and anticipating a charge at the title. Instead, she lost in the first round, the only opening-match exit from a major tournament in her career. "It really was a shock for her. She really worked on rebuilding herself to become perhaps stronger than ever," said Patrick Mouratoglou, the French coach who began collaborating with Williams shortly after that defeat. Since that dark day at Roland Garros, Williams is 74-3, including trophies at three of the past four Slams and the WTA Championships, plus gold at the London Olympics. There are four men, meanwhile, who have reason to like their chances, a quartet that's combined to collect 32 of the past 33Grand Slam tournaments: defending champion Roger Federer, owner of a record 17 Grand Slam titles, including seven at Wimbledon; No. 1-ranked Novak Djokovic, who won Wimbledon in 2011; two-time champion Rafael Nadal, whose record eighth French Open trophy this month raised his career haul to 12 majors; and Andy Murray, the runner-up last year at the All England Club and reigning U.S. Open champion who wants to give Britain its first male title winner at Wimbledon since Fred Perry in 1936. Federer and Nadal could meet in the quarterfinals, with the winner potentially getting Murray in the semifinals, because all three wound up on the same side of the draw. Djokovic, meanwhile, is on the other half and at most would need to beat only one of that other
