many strong US docs, Greg Barker's Oscar shortlisted film on UN refugee diplomat Sergio Vieira de Mello, is the most emotionally moving. The Brazilian who succeeded in repatriating 400,000 Cambodians after talks with the Khmer Rouge died slowly in the rubble of a Baghdad UN building bombing. Based on the book by Samantha Power, Sergio will thankfully reach viewers via HBO. SOUNDTRACK FOR A REVOLUTION (US/Bill Guttentag & Dan Sturman) Using music that fortified the black civil rights movement of the 60s, Guttentag and Sturman have made a doc that will especially inform and connect with our youth. Performers like John Legend and Wyclef Jean provide music, Danny Glover narrates and the emotional interviews range from previously unheralded protesters to Coretta Scott King, Julian Bond and Rep. John Lewis. THE MOSTDANGEROUS MAN IN AMERICA (US/Judith Ehrlich & Rick Goldsmith) Winner of the Audience Award for Documentary, this doc had two sold out viewings, with subject Daniel Ellsberg in attendance. Wisely, we not only see the battle over the Pentagon Papers but Ellsberg's own shifting political allegiances in relation to his wife, Patricia. Also shortlisted for the Academy Award. THE GREAT CONTEMPORARY ART BUBBLE (UK/Ben Lewis) British art critic and BBC filmmaker Ben Lewis spent a full year researching how multimillionaire art collectors and auction houses Sotheby's and Christies manipulate the contemporary art market. With sly charm, he travels the world to relentlessly investigate the huge rise and shattering fall of art speculation and valuation, including works by notables like Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst. A visually splendid and diverting indictment of

Between a plethora of creative projects and visits around the world, Pharrell manages to step back into his primary domain of music. Partnering with the University of Miami Frost School of Music and the Henry Mancini Institute Orchestra, Williams works his musical magic over a “mixed-genre orchestral work—which features soft and ethereal atmospheres contrasted with fortissimo brass themes and driving rhythms—to explore a different side of his musical creativity, and to encourage his hip-hop fan base to expand their musical horizons.”assessed from satellite imagery from 2005, courtesy of NASA's Landsat 7. Recorded incidents of aggravated assault, robbery, burglary, and theft were drawn from the University of Pennsylvania's Neighborhood Information System CrimeBase, also for the year 2005. Theft, just to be clear, is the illegal act of taking something without permission. Robbery is the same, but with violence (or the threat of it). Burglary is breaking into a building in order to a commit crime (often, but not necessarily, theft or robbery.) The researchers ignored incidents of murder and rape on the grounds that their relative rarity renders the comparison senseless at tract level. The team undertook a series of statistical analyses of the data, including multivariate ordinary least squares regression. This allowed them to test the "explanatory power" of foliage

Nirav Modi's escape puts limelight on Western Europe, North America, Gulf again NEW DELHI: The Nirav Modi case has once again highlighted how ‘fraudsters, scamsters and terrorists’ often find it convenient to take refuge in Western Europe, North America and the Gulf due to easy residency laws, liberal tax structures and political asylum rules. Members of the Indian community in Belgium, who did not wish to be identified, indicated to ET that Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi were planning to flee India and preparing documents for the purpose since two years. It is understood that they have acquired a slew of properties in the Gulf region. It may be recalled that Belgium had twice sent back Indian nationals involved in criminal activities. If a fugitive has taken refuge in countries wherecapital punishment is banned, extradition is generally refused. Abu Salem was extradited to India from Portugal on the grounds that he will not be granted capital punishment. The UK, where several Indian fugitives have taken refuge, has rules that legally protect a person entering its territory. Any wealthy person, otherwise a fugitive, is not deported due to the wealth that he or she brings to that country. India has extradition treaties with 47 countries. As many as 62 terrorists and other fugitives were extradited to India from the UAE, the US, Nigeria, Germany, Canada, etc between February 2002 and December 2016.

The author of the best debut of 2015 will receive a monetary prize of 30 000 PLN, combined with an opportunity to participate in a month-long residence stay in Krakow and a commemorative statuette; all nominees will be also able to promote themselves during the next Conrad Festival and in "Tygodnik Powszechny". The winner will be chosen by the readers themselves, through a vote cast via the Festival’s website. The award will be presented on the 30th of October during the Conrad Gala, concluding the 8th edition of the Festival. Last year, the Conrad Award was granted for the first time. The readers are attracted to it partially because of its democratic nature – the laureate is selected from among the jury’s nominees in an on-line vote by the readersyears the situation on the market has been changing, partly because of the Conrad Award. Its goal is not only to support the authors, but also to promote young prose in order to stimulate the publishing market, so that it becomes more open to debuts and new novels. The writers selected by the Jury were already nominated for numerous literary prizes, and aware of their artistic choices. The first laureate, Weronika Marek, said. “I’m bored with transcribing the world, the precise, draughtsman-like tracing of its contours. My hand always itches terribly with the temptation to add something new to reality, some extra element here or there”. Everything is possible in the stories she creates out of the strange, overheard language, and the interesting title – "The Cultivation of Southern

Iranian industries seeking foreign partnerships include the rapidly growing IT and nanotechnology sectors. Visitors from the United States say they were impressed by just how advanced the work produced by Iranian engineers and programmers was compared with the levels of other countries in the region, despite the many Internet and telecommunications restrictions imposed by authorities. “With its remarkable geographic position and talent, Iran is seemingly poised to be a central connection between east-west and north-south if the politicians and leaders are willing to unleash it,” said Christopher M. Schroeder, a U.S.-based Internet entrepreneur and author of a recent book on start-ups in the Middle East who visited Iran in April. “To ignore rising economies like these is to ignore where the world is going,” Schroeder said.

Conservative Party". If the Britons vote to leave, it will do "irreparable harm to Britain" and there is no room for Cameron to remain in power. Since he announced in January 2013 his pledge to hold a referendum, industries and businesses have gone through three years of uncertainty, dampening investor confidence and creating instability. The pound sterling remains under severe downward pressure. Although Patten was a minister under Margaret Thatcher, he certainly doesn't harbour the distinctly Thatcherite views. She ripped against her European counterparts, refusing to countenance any increase in the power of the European Community and outraging many colleagues. David Cameron hasn't continued her policies and sees the EU very differently to Thatcher, who was strongly opposed to referendums on Europe, when she was prime minister. She attackedThe state argues that since the 9th Circuit could potentially hear the case "en banc" -- before a larger panel of judges than the three who decided the Nevada and Idaho cases last week -- and that there is a "reasonable likelihood" that a circuit split will develop in the near future, the court should issue the stay in order to "avoid chaos" in the administration of Alaska's marriage laws. Until a judge rules on the motion, marriages in Alaska will be allowed to proceed.

Parker honest and deeply concerned about their experience. Hickson, older and more laid back, handled the encounter far better than Calvin Parker, who suffered a breakdown and remained devastated. Hickson commented to the Associated Press of his close friend, "He's not the same man as before. It just ruined him." Even Sheriff Glenn Ryder, who remembered getting a phone call from Hickson at a pay phone around 11:00 p.m. on that fateful night, was impressed with the situation, whatever its meaning: "Calvin Parker was just hysterical. He was having fits. I took them in the patrol car to the sheriff's office." Other people had reported a possible UFO that night, but statements were generally vague, some making reference to a streak of light in the sky. And so wentBut particularly shocking is the generally reported total absence of blood in and around the carcasses. In recent cases where blood samples were available, lab tests indicate peculiar changes perpetrated by forces unknown on the animals' hemoglobin, and tests are ongoing to establish the process involved. For several months, South American farmers and ranchers have experienced an ongoing siege of mutilations, especially in Argentina, where the tally of mysterious cattle deaths now exceeds 400 by some estimates. While Uruguay has seen an increase in recent weeks, Argentina by far holds the current record as the South American cattle mutation capitol. Thanks to U.S. researchers such as Scott Corrales, who translates reports from various S.A. newspapers and sends them on to English-speaking countries, it is clear that the mystery mutilators,

in it. The result was a whole slew of bands that were basically thumbing their collective noses at “the establishment”. Sound familiar? Bands like The Ramones, Patti Smith Group, The Stillettos, featuring Deborah Harry (who would go on to mainstream punk with Blondie), Mink DeVille, Talking Heads, The Shirts, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, The Fleshtones and The Cramps rose out of that scene. Their music was based on rockabilly forms, played at varying tempos, with a minimal drum kit. An integral part of the early Cramps sound is dual guitars, without a bassist. The focus of their songs' lyrical content and their image is camp humor, and retro horror/sci-fi b-movie shtick. Their sound was heavily influenced by early rockabilly, rhythm and blues, and rock and roll like Link Wray43 plus years later, so let’s just call them an American Institution. It all started in the summer of 1968, when tenor saxophonist/vocalist Emilio Castillo met Stephen "Doc" Kupka, who played baritone sax. they became the backbone of the group. Gathering a few other players, they called themselves The Motowns and gigged around Oakland and Berkley. Their soul sound appealed to both minority and hipster rebellious listeners of the day. By 1970, the now renamed Tower of Power, T.O.P. to fans, they now included trumpet/arranger Greg Adams, first trumpet Mic Gillette, first saxophone Skip Mesquite, Francis "Rocco" Prestia on bass, Willie Fulton on guitar, and drummer David Garibaldi.

years before, on March 1, 1999, Steele pled guilty to shoplifting and received three years in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections, with seven months to serve and two years, five months on post-release supervision. The circuit judge then entered an order, dated March 19, 2001, revoking Steele's post-release supervision, ordering Steele to serve the two years, five months from the earlier charge. ¶ 2. Steele then filed a motion for sentence clarification post-conviction in the Attala County Circuit Court on March 4, 2002, which was denied on March 8, 2002. On March 22, 2002, Steele filed a motion to reconsider the denial of his post-conviction relief, which was again denied on March 26, 2002. Steele then perfected his appeal to this Court asserting that the evidencethe flesh, and dreadful anguish of soul, and even death itself. And lest we should come to tempt God in a manner similar to that in which those men tempted him, let us allow God to conceal his power, whenever it pleases Him to do so, that he may afterwards display it at his pleasure at the proper time and place. On at least two recorded occasions, God has called out, “Where are you?” or words to that effect. The first call was in the garden of Eden at the beginning of creation: And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of

vehicle was searched in Arizona, and fifteen additional pounds of methamphetamine were seized. Lee's testimony at trial was different from his previous admissions. At trial, he denied knowledge of the drugs found at his Casper residence, and he also denied statements he had made to the agents concerning his drug dealings. Lee testified that the residence was occupied by another person who also owned the drugs and paraphernalia found by the police. He stated that the ammunition was part of a collection, and the scales that were found were used in his dart making activities. Lee filed several motions, including two motions to suppress, prior to his trial. The first motion to suppress was directed at evidence obtained during the search of his residence on October 14, 1996,of experience and training, of which fifteen months had been devoted to investigating controlled substance violations. He had received special training from the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation, the Natrona County Sheriff's Department, the Internal Revenue Service, and the Wyoming Law Enforcement Academy. Considering the special agent's experience, together with an examination of the totality of the circumstances reported in the affidavit, satisfies us that probable cause to issue the search warrant to search Lee's residence was present. In summary, the affidavit combined information from the informant that in June of 1996, the informant and another trafficker drove to Reno, Nevada, and met Lee at the Circus Circus Hotel. After meeting with Lee, the other trafficker had acquired a large amount of cash. The assumption of the informant

POWER The engrained belief in Muslim superiority was seriously shaken during the 19th century, when the Ottoman Empire suffered a series of defeats at the hands of the Russians, and when various Muslim-ruled lands fell under non-Muslim rule: Algeria and Tunisia were conquered by the French, Egypt and Sudan by the British, and the majority of the Balkan countries achieved independence from the Ottomans. In World War I, the Ottoman Empire was totally defeated by Christian powers, and subsequently, in 1924, Turkey's reformist secular leader Kemal Ataturk abolished the Caliphate. To Muslim eyes, it appeared that history had deviated from its predestined course.(20) It was the disturbing recognition that Muslim power was inferior to that of Europe, the West, or Christendom (however the "other side" is perceived) that shaped thedisappear, and the Muslim nation, led by the Arabs under the banner of Islam, will be in a position to fulfill its historical mission. They call to return to the Islam of the early generations, known in Arabic as al-salaf. This stream is therefore called "Salafi Islam." The Salafi stream is represented in the Arab world by two movements: The first is Wahhabism, founded by Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (1703–1792) in the middle of the 18th century, which is the dominant school of Islam in Saudi Arabia; the second is the Muslim Brotherhood, established in 1928 in Alexandria, Egypt, which today has branches in other Arab countries as well. Answers of a different kind were proposed by the nationalist school of thought.(21) The concept of nationalism took root in

between the release of the 1970 and 1972 annual reports, and seek to represent all purchasers of Ampex securities during the period. The corporation, its principal officers during the period,2 and the company's independent auditor are named as defendants. The gravamen of all the claims is the misrepresentation by reason of annual and interim reports, press releases and SEC filings of the financial condition of Ampex from the date of the 1970 report until the true condition was disclosed by the announcement of losses in August of 1972. 4 The plaintiffs moved for class certification shortly after filing their complaints in 1972; after extensive briefing and argument the district judge entered an order on April 11, 1974, conditionally certifying as a class all those who purchased Ampex securitiesavoids) the obstruction to just claims that would come from permitting the harassment and cost of a succession of separate appeals from the various rulings to which a litigation may give rise, from its initiation to entry of judgment." Cobbledick, supra, at 325, 60 S.Ct. at 541. In short, the rule is one of the primary bars against Bleak House Judicial administration;6 as such, its rationale applies equally to an order certifying a class. 10 Nevertheless, in some circumstances deferring an appeal practically operates to deny effective review, as the right threatened by an adverse ruling will have been lost in the interim before final disposition of the other aspects of the controversy. The Court therefore has given the § 1291 final decision requirement a "practical

failure of the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) to implement its agreements under the peace agreements. The Council could successfully draw due lessons from that experience and step up its efforts in the implementation of other peace agreements. Security Council resolution 1244 (1999) on Kosovo clearly and unambiguously provided for the demilitarization of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) and others factions. That process was clearly not moving ahead fast enough, he noted. Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Malaysia and President of the Council during its morning session, speaking in his national capacity, said that, while disarmament was a crucial prerequisite for the consolidation of peace and stability in countries emerging from conflict, experience had shown that it could not guaranteethe achievement of the long- term objectives of sustainable peace, stability and development alone. It had to be followed with the demobilization of ex-combatants and their peaceful reintegration into society. Financing continued to be a problem in the implementation of disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programmes, he said. Protracted conflict naturally put a severe strain on the resources of a country. Obviously, the question of adequate financing needed to be addressed by all concerned. "Clearly, we cannot ignore the developmental aspects of post-conflict peace- building", he said. Reintegration programmes, in particular, would require some amount of economic assistance. Statements were also made by the representatives of Bahrain, United Kingdom, Slovenia, Argentina, Brazil, Gabon, France, Gambia, Netherlands, China, Canada, Finland (on behalf of the European Union and associated States), Guatemala, South Africa,

Police Chief Taylor Bartholomew told The Washington Post on Wednesday afternoon. Within hours, authorities located Valentine at a motel in Columbia, S.C., about 280 miles south of Norlina. Officials said Valentine committed suicide after being surrounded. He was pronounced dead at the scene. “He shot himself in the head,” Bartholomew told CBS affiliate WLTX. “Think he felt the pressure of being surrounded by marshals. He died alone. At the end of the day, he is a coward.” Hours earlier, Bartholomew said he had talked to Valentine on the phone; the Norlina police chief described the suspected killer as “cold and callous,” saying he showed no remorse for the shootings. “For somebody that had just done something like that, he was calm but he was aggressive,” Bartholomew told The Post on Wednesday. “He wasSP MARTY FILE 3 HINDASH Martin Brodeur will take part in the Mar. 7 reunion of the Devils' 1995 championship team.

NJ Advance Media has learned that the Devils plan to use an independent firm to stream the game because the league has apparently not offered to make its mobile unit available. The game, which will feature players like Martin Brodeur, Scott Stevens, Scott Niedermayer, Ken Daneyko, John MacLean and Claude Lemieux, will be played in AmeriHealth Pavilion. Because that rink has little seating available, only 500 tickets and some VIP packages were offered to season ticket holders. Those tickets were available online after ticket

The House of Representatives passed a broad resolution on Thursday to condemn hateful speech and expression, including both anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. The vote comes after first-term member Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) sparked controversy with her comments on Israel. The initial resolution, which some senior Democrats began drafting in the wake of her latest comments over the weekend, condemned only anti-Semitism and was seen as a direct reprimand to Omar, who is Muslim. The revised resolution easily passed on Thursday afternoon, even with 23 Republicans dissenting, including House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY). But the lead-up was not easy. The resolution was being drafted up to the moment it was sent to the floor for debate; in fact, debate had to be pushed back in order for resolution authors to updateThe Spaniard finished Q1 in fifth position after setting the quickest time in the middle sector, before deciding against posting a laptime in Q2 to save tyres.

While still livable, the main house suffered from deferred maintenance, as are the barns and other outbuildings. The Farm was sold at auction in the summer of 2009 to a buyer who received a number of lucrative development proposals – most of which would include demolishing the buildings and subdividing the property into small, residential lots.

Bernardino, on two levels as was the lost Assumption by Perugino. The lower section portrays Bernardino on a rock, with open arms, surmounted by two angels crowning him. He is flanked by the saints Augustine and Antony of Padua, while in the background is a landscape inspired by those of Umbria.

The Reds have agreed personal terms with the England international, who will join the club on a free transfer on 1 July after his contract at the Etihad Stadium has expired.” Milner’s contract at Anfield is believed to be less than he would have earned had he stayed with City, around £150,000 a week, but the lure of a more regular role with Liverpool – and in his preferred central midfield position – was a key factor in his decision. Remaining in the north-west where the England international is settled with his family was also an influence. Martin Skrtel says Liverpool contract offer is ‘unacceptable’ Read more The

Bailly into jokes. "While Lena's geusioleptic cooking wowed her boyfriend, what really melted his heart was that she won the National Spelling Bee," Bailly said while helping explain a word that describes flavorful food. Then there was this gem, explaining a room in an ancient Greek bath: "It was always a challenge to tell whose toga was whose in the apodyterium." But the laughter turned to shock when the speller, Sidharth Chand of Bloomfield Hills, Mich., flubbed the word, spelling it "apodeiterium." Sidharth was last year's runner-up and a favorite to take the title this year. He buried his head in his hands for about a minute after he took his seat next to his parents, while the audience and other spellers gave him a rare mid-round standing ovation.

The Crystal Palace U23s XI taking on Corinthian Casuals contains three players who joined the men’s first team on their pre-season tour of Switzerland, with Sam Woods, James Daly and Kian Flanagan all starting. Richard Shaw brings in Ollie Webber in goal, replacing Dion Henry between the sticks after the latter played 90 minutes in Saturday’s narrow 1-0 defeat to Bromley. Jacob Mensah starts in the heart of the defence, having played 27 minutes against Bromley, replacing Ryan Inniss. Former club captain Jason Puncheon will be starting tonight’s game as the midfielder looks to keep up his fitness over pre-season whilst deciding on his next career move having left the south Londoners in May. Manager Shaw sees the inclusion of the 33-year-old as a great opportunity for the developing Eagles to learnwoodwork-rattling across a whole match, the first game that comes to mind is from Euro 96. The Czech Republic drew 3-3 with Russia, a result that put them through to the quarter-finals ahead of Italy, and also hit the woodwork four times from a variety of angles and distances. At least they got the result they needed – as did Chelsea in the 2010 FA Cup final, when they hit the woodwork five times in a goalless first half against Portsmouth. They eventually won the match 1-0 and did the double. Back when they were still a comedy club, Manchester City battered Bolton at the Etihad Stadium at the start of the 2005-06 season. They hit the woodwork five times, and then lost 1-0 to an injury-time penalty from Gary

Adam Maxwell posted a poignant message on a crowdfunding page which raised over £30,000 to bring Kirsty home after she fell from a balcony in Benidorm last Saturday. The 27-year-old from Livingston, West Lothian told thousands of supporters on the page that he will “never stop missing” his beloved wife. He also took the opportunity to thank everyone for their support in raising more than £30,000 and helping to bring his “beautiful girl back home.” Taking to the Just Giving page last night, he said: “I cannot thank you all enough for helping me and the family get

In 2008, environmental activist Tim DeChristopher attended a federal oil lease auction of Utah public lands. To protest the auction (which was later found to be improper) he broke the law: He made a number of fake bids, with no intention of paying. For this act of civil disobedience, he was prosecuted by the Obama administration and sentenced to two years in Herlong federal prison. That he was imprisoned is, for better or worse, to be expected, since law-breaking is essential to civil disobedience. But news Tuesday that DeChristopher may have been in isolation confinement since early March should alarm environmentalists and political activists everywhere. According to a statement from Peaceful Uprising, a group DeChristopher co-founded, the activist is now being treated as follows: In the past two weeks, heexercising throughout the winter and resist the urge to slack off. The Wisdom Segment I The first American football game was played between two college teams, Princeton and Rutgers, on November 6, 1869. The sport is called gridiron in Canada and the United States and is an offshoot of soccer and rugby that emerged during the 1800s and was professionalized in 1920. II It was only during the implementation of the Rugby Union Code that carrying the ball was allowed. During the later part of the 1800s, Walter Camp, the Father of American Football, introduced a new set of rules. Old Walt established the snap and introduced the concept of downs, lines of scrimmage, and 11-player teams.

After talking with them about their experience I was set on tackling it at the start of 2020 to coincide with some of my new year goals. While out for lunch one day my wife pointed out that the final 75 days of the year was coming up in just a couple of days.

Plaintiff alleges that, at a hearing on or about March 24, 1997, the County Court judge, during an inquiry into the strength of the government's proof, made a comparison between the still photograph and Plaintiff and determined that it was obvious that the "wrong person" was in custody. At the same hearing, Plaintiff alleges that defendant Mercado, having finally viewed Plaintiff, informed defendant Lovell, the prosecuting district attorney, that Plaintiff was not the suspect who had sold him drugs on the night in question. Following the hearing, Plaintiff alleges that he was subject to further prosecution until April 14, 1997, when, upon application *266 of the Office of theRensselaer County District Attorney, the case was ordered dismissed by the County Court.

BANGKOK — A gender rights group on Friday said a college dean in the northeast verbally abused a transgender adult student in front of her classmates by threatening , while the teacher said he was only making a joke. Dulyaphat Mangkharat, who’s training at Si Saket Rajabhat University to become a teacher, complained online Sunday that her professor asked her why her dress did not match her gender at birth, and mockingly asked if he could touch her genitals to be sure. The Thai Transgender Alliance said in a statement released to the media Friday that such discriminatory remarks against transgender people are illegal under a gender equality bill enacted in 2015. The group also called for an end to sexual harassment of transgender people in society. “They [the public] mustQuotations from Children of Paradise The film Children of Paradise (also known as "Les enfants du paradis") is a romantic drama about the ill-fated love of a theater mime and an actress.

Johnson played in just four games last season before suffering a groin injury that required surgery and sent him to injured reserve. Before he was hurt, he had 25 carries for 95 yards as the primary backup. In 2015, he was the NFL's third-leading rusher (814 yards) before he fractured his tibia in Week 12.

Moscow Times continues to threaten Russia's image after the presidential elections. Luke Harding begins his '08 attack early, with a menacing January expose on Medvedev's longstanding connections to Vladimir Putin. The piece, entitled "The Law Professor Who Came in From the Cold," begins with the sentence, "Newly elected Russian president Dimitry Medvedev is part of a clique of St. Petersburg politicians closely linked to ex-KGB officer Vladimir Putin, the Guardian has learned. As reported in The Moscow Times in 1999, Dmitry Medvedev..." New Anti-Hippie Visa Rules Bring Ruin New work-visa requirements for expats mean that Russia loses its valuable supply of hippie slackers to teach English. Suddenly in crisis, Russian language schools team up with the Foreign Ministry to replace American and British expat teachers with teachers from Abkhazia andUzbekistan, but the experiment fails. By April, the cost of a private English lesson in Moscow rises to $1,500 an hour. Hippie trekkers are kidnapped and disappeared into Rublevka mansion basements in order to teach oligarch children.

RCMP in Richmond, B.C., say officers responding to a report of a theft at an apartment building confronted the suspect who was observed with a bike. The suspect fled towards the popular fishing and tourist harbour and then dove into the bone-chilling waters. Mounties say they found the 39-year-old man, who is known to them, hiding in a nearby washroom, suffering from signs of hypothermia. The suspect was given a hot shower on site to keep his temperature up until paramedics could arrive.

TALDF seeks to preserve and promote open discourse about issues significant for Turkish Americans, including the characterization of the events bearing on the World War I deaths of Ottoman Muslims and Armenians. According to TALDF, as in the case of Professor Lewy, the organization defends the rights of those who face intimidation, harassment, and other forms of discrimination for disagreeing with Armenian allegation of genocide or for promoting a balanced view of Turkey in the United States.

the ball and the game began slipping away. Portis ran 155 times for 513 yards in the second half of the season, an average of just 3.30, with a single TD (from a yard out). This, after averaging 5 yards per carry with seven TDs in the first eight games (and rushing for 940 yards). Ports hasn't been the same back at the end of the season since 2005, the last time he was truly healthy, before the knee and shoulder surgeries led to even more arthroscopies and injuries.

had concluded that to move ahead with the translation "would cause division within the body of Christ." In March the 600-member Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the United States and Canada proclaimed that the Conservative and Reform movements "are not Judaism at all." The edict took the two rival movements to task for condoning interfaith marriages and homosexuality and asserted that conversions to Judaism within those movements were not valid. The Rabbinical Council of America, an organization of about 1,000 Orthodox rabbis, said that the smaller group’s declaration "does not reflect the sentiments of mainstream Orthodox Jewish thought since it implies the disenfranchisement of Jews as Jews." In the interfaith sphere, the Roman Catholic Church made several gestures toward the Jewish people in 1997, including Pope John Paul II’s condemnationof anti-Semitic interpretations of the New Testament and his hailing of the Jews as the people who gave Jesus Christ to all mankind. On the negative side, Southern Baptists and Jews exchanged angry letters prompted by concerns about a 1996 resolution urging Southern Baptists to renew their emphasis on witnessing to Jews. The Vatican’s chief doctrinal overseer, Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, told a French publication in March that Buddhism is "an erotic spirituality" that poses a challenge to the church. However, the Dalai Lama preached from the pulpit in the Washington National Cathedral in April and declared that "all major religious traditions carry basically the same message--that is, love, compassion and forgiveness."

The favorite, Myrtle Cook of Canada DQ'd at the starting line. Cook would later hold off Robinson on the anchor of the 4x100 to give Canada the gold over the US. I knew this only because we mentioned this race in a recent posting about the Canadian runner Diane Palmason who was coached by Cook. The remarkable part of Robinson's story is the comeback she made after being severely injured in an airplane accident.

A witness to the crash pulled two bodies out of the wreckage and thinking they were both dead, threw them into the trunk of

Paraguayan 11-year-old 'rape victim' gives birth Published duration 13 August 2015 image copyright AP image caption "All together for a dignified and happy childhood," reads a banner held by demonstrators An 11-year old girl in Paraguay who was allegedly raped by her stepfather has given birth to a baby girl after being denied an abortion. Doctors say the girl and her baby, who was delivered by Caesarean section, are doing well. Paraguay, a predominantly Roman Catholic nation, only allows abortion when the mother's health is in danger. Earlier this year, the health ministry said that was not so in this case and rejected a request for an abortion. The girl, who has not been named for her own protection, was raped when she was 10 years old, officials say. Her stepfather, who is 42, isin jail awaiting trial. He denies any wrongdoing. His wife has been charged with negligence. 'Invest in education' A doctor at the Reina Sofia hospital in the capital, Asuncion, said the baby was born with a normal weight of 3.55kg (7lb 13oz). "The mother is recovering well from the surgery," Dr Mario Villalba told the local Radio Cardinal station. He said there are two other 12-year-old girls waiting to give birth at the hospital and several other teenagers. "They are fighting," Dr Villalba said. "You must invest in education. There is nothing else to be done," he added. image copyright AP image caption Nearly 90% of Paraguayans describe themselves as Catholics The Paraguayan government's refusal in May to allow the pregnancy to be terminated angered many campaign groups across the world.

PETALING JAYA: The appointment of Rania Zara Medina to the Country Coordinating Mechanism (CCM) Malaysia challenges the moral values of the community, says Wanita Umno. Rania, a former transgender beauty pageant winner, was appointed to represent the transgender community as a member of CCM Malaysia for the 2019-2021 term. Wanita Umno chief Datuk Dr Noraini Ahmad slammed the appointment, claiming that LGBT groups have gender dysphoria that goes against the values and beliefs of the majority in the country. “This culture also violates the law under Section 377A of the Penal Code, Sections 25 and 26 of the Syariah Criminal Offences Enactment and Section 28 of the Syariah Criminal Offences (Federal Territories) Act. “It is clear that the LGBT community's right to practise their lifestyle is still subject to the law, whichRichard-Parkes Bonington (1802–1828) Most of this British painter’s short career took place in Paris. Although much of his inspiration often came from his compatriots (Constable, Turner), he was highly influenced by the art of the Venetian painters, whom he copied at the Musée du Louvre, before traveling to Venice in the spring of 1826 with Baron Rivet. His friendship for Delacroix, with whom he visited London in 1825, is well known: he perfected his watercolor technique alongside the painter. He paid Delacroix a vibrant posthumous tribute with this words: "No one ... has such a light touch in his execution, particularly in watercolor, which makes his works something like diamonds that flatter and delight the eye, independent of any subject or imitation." The two artists painted small "troubadour-style" painting that were

There are many examples of this but perhaps the best is the example found in 1 Corinthians 11:4-7. Paulís teaching here had to do with head coverings used by men and women. Jewish and Roman men covered their heads, but for a woman not to cover her head was quite unthinkable. The reason for this was mainly "cultural" or in the context of the culture in which they found themselves the time. In the Corinthian temples of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, shrine prostitutes would give themselves "sacrificially" by shaving their heads. As a result, a woman entering

effective for several makers, including Volkswagen. Upgrading the V6 version of the Mustang is a critical step for Ford. The old model used a truck-derived powertrain that lacked the refinement of the bigger V8, which may have been fine when the automaker had the pony car market all to itself. But things have changed since the launch of the all-new Chevrolet Camaro, earlier this year. The revived General Motors offering – largely based on the classic ’67 muscle car – has taken the U.S. market by storm. As with must cars in the segment, the V6 has become the real volume offering for Chevy, and the more refined package is a key reason why Camaro has been sharply outselling Mustang for the first time in decades.

The film will be directed by John Stalberg, Jr., which will mark his sophomore feature after the debut of High School. Equal parts The Firm-style financial thriller and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo-type crime drama, Crypto follows a young anti-money laundering agent named Martin (Beau Knapp) tasked with investigating a tangled web of corruption and fraud in his remote New York hometown, where his father Martin Sr (Kurt Russell) and brother Caleb (Luke Hemswoth) are struggling to maintain their family farm in a changing economic landscape.

The topic of the Gateway structures was raised three times at last Thursday's council meeting, with the executive manager of operations Alan Hindmarsh called on to explain where the project is up to. Mr Hindmarsh said some $15,000 worth of landscaping was yet to take place around the structures, located at the north and south entry of the city centre. The landscaping, due to begin next week, weather permitting, will not, as Mr Sawtell suggested, comprise a five-metre hedge, but rather 'textured plants to complement the textured surface of the structures'.

Commission's South Central Pennsylvania Regional Director. Defendant Duncan is the Game Commission's Executive Director. The complaint advances claims under the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, and under Article 1, Section 8 of the Pennsylvania Constitution. These claims arise out of a search of Plaintiffs' residence and business property by Defendants on April 13, 1993, and out of the seizure of a taxidermy mount of a wolf and a caribou (the "wolf-caribou mount"), which occurred on May 19, 1993, and continued until August 19, 1993. Prior to April 13, 1993, Showers sent letters to Defendants Sloan and Duncan, both Spangler's superiors, complaining that Spangler was harassing him, and seeking their assistance.

The pretext doctrine was not established law in April of 1993, when the search in question took place. We have not found, nor have the parties identified, any reported decisions from any court in the Third Circuit in which a finding of pretext has been employed to invalidate an otherwise proper administrative inspection; it appears that the doctrine has been expressed clearly only in the Tenth Circuit.

that they were coerced only after he became aware of the state's full intentions and of the real possibility of these penalties under the Arkansas law. The Court has previously identified the "serious concerns" that it believes are implicated by the rules and law governing this habeas proceeding. See Opinion of April 4, 1989, pp. 132-134, 136-137. As noted therein, Mr. Barry Lee Fairchild has controlled the issues he wished to have presented during his habeas proceedings. For instance, he has prohibited his attorneys from making any challenge to the penalty phase of his trial. The only authority he has given to his attorneys is to make those challenges which might ultimately result in a new trial and his freedom. If he cannot obtain that relief, he states thathe wishes to be executed rather than spend the rest of his life in prison. And, he apparently made a similar decision based on the same rationale back at the time of his trial in state court: he instructed his attorneys that he did not wish them to put on evidence of mitigating circumstances at the penalty phase of that trial even though they had witnesses available for such purpose standing by. This Court believes that the law should not leave to murderers, rapists and other criminals, the decisions which control the scope of legal review. The case should not be the "property" of the defendant. The people of the state of Arkansas and of the nation should have the right to expect that an independent judicial review would

The body of climber David Sharp which has been left where he died. The Story Behind Everest Last week saw the release of Everest, the Hollywood blockbuster telling the tale of the 1996 disaster in which eight climbers tragically lost their lives – the most deadly day on the mountain up until that point. Scott Fischer, a highly experienced mountain guide played by Jake Gyllenhaal in the movie, was one of those who lost his life that day. In the movie his friend and fellow guide Anatoli Boukreev tries to rescue Scott and eventually reaches him, only to realise he’s too late. Boukreev’s reaction, covering Scott’s face with his backpack before turning away, might seem odd to some – this was his colleague and climbing partner, surely he could do more?was used in an advert in Japan for Nissan for their Wingroad 5-door estate.

At his New Hampshire home, he keeps a collection of rifles, shotguns, pistols, and antique weaponry, including two cast-iron cannons that he stores in the barn beneath an oval wooden wall plaque inscribed with the Second Amendment. Despite his love of all things with bullets and buckshot, however, Mr. Demicco is also part of a quiet movement that makes him anathema to many of his gun-owning brethren: He is working with mental-health experts and community groups on a campaign to reduceAmericans possess over the people of almost every other nation” and criticized European governments for being “afraid to trust the people with arms.” The ability to defend oneself and one’s nation against a tyrannical government clearly resonated with at least some of the members of the House of Representatives, who were only six years removed from the American Revolution when in 1789 they took up debate of the proposed amendment (then referred to as the fourth proposition). According to a record of the proceedings in Congress, a Mr. Gerry stated, “Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins.

Louis XIV, frequently performed in these ballets. Louis XIV was dubbed the Sun King after his role in Le Ballet de la Nuit (1653), which started at sunset and ran until sunrise. His personal ballet master, Pierre Beauchamp, choreographed many of the dances performed at Versailles. King Louis XIV realized that in order to spread this art form, it would need to be written down in some way. Louis asked Beauchamp to record it in writing, and as such, he is basically credited as codifying the building blocks of ballet. This is when the five basic foot positions that are the core of ballet were established. Louis XIV created the Académie Royale de Musique on June 28, 1669, and the vocabulary used there is still in effect today. Ballet's Expansion andIntroduction of Female Dancers Jean-George Noverre has been called "The Grandfather of the Ballet" thanks to his influence in creating the story aspect of the ballet. He educated his students on the importance of mime and facial expression as a storytelling tool. Noverre published a book in 1760 that introduced rules and principles of ballet like pas d'action, the step of action, pantomime, and more. His influence extended to costumes, and he demonstrated that the musician, choreographer, and designer must work in tandem to create a beautiful ballet.Up until 1681, women were not permitted to perform in ballet. Men would dress as females to take on female roles until Marie Camargo became the first woman to dance in a ballet. She was not a fan of the heavy, restrictive

TUPAC WAS APPARENTLY IN LOVE WITH VERSACE BEFORE HIS DEATH May 16 2012 Los Angeles, CA – Despite being dead for more than 15 years, the stories about Tupac Shakur never seem to end. Now one more has come to light after Suge Knight made controversial comments about the rapper on a radio show. Knight claimed that Shakur ended a friendship with another rapper when he found out he was gay. Already Tupac’s family has leapt to his defence, saying in fact that Shakur was in love with Gianni Versace, a noted gay man, and liked to wear special clothes for the fashion designer whenever he asked. Versace could not be reached for confirmation because he too is dead.Dan Harding were the three new members of his defence, while Simon Cox, Simon Gillett and Adlène Guedioura patrolled the midfield in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Two of Forest's old guard created their opener. On 15 minutes, Dexter Blackstock, the lone striker, dropped deep to collect the ball, then flipped it on to Lewis McGugan. He took a couple of steps infield before letting fly a 30-yard humdinger that gave Adam Bogdan no chance and pinged in off the bar. This had Forest wags singing, not untruthfully: "We're top of the league". Bolton, who had a defeat and win from their initial two outings of the season, against Forest's victory and draw, enjoyed their best moments from the flanks.

Richard Obert azcentral sports ANAHEIM – Quinn Pitcock's first play with the Rattlers had a big impact Sunday. The former Ohio State defensive lineman blind-sided 43-year-old quarterback Aaron Garcia, bruising his ribs and knocking him out of the game on the LA KISS' second series. Marquis Floyd then intercepted backup Tyler Hansen's fourth-down pass for a touchdown. Floyd intercepted another pass that he returned out of his end zone to the LA 1, and the Rattlers cruised to a 70-25 rout at the Honda Center. "It was a good way to get rid of the jitters," said Pitcock, who missed the first nine games with a knee injury suffered in camp. The Rattlers, 10-0 for the first time in franchise history, scored three unanswered touchdowns after the KISS (2-8) took the early 7-0 leadwith the aid of two defensive penalties. They have won their past three games by 29, 32 and 45. They own an eight-game lead over second-place LA in the West Division with eight games to play. "I thought our defense set the tone," coach Kevin Guy said. "We got some interceptions. The offense scored on every possession. I was very pleased with how they played, as well." About the only thing that didn't go well was Casey Barth's kickoffs, which came short of the net. It got so easy for the Rattlers that on the first play of the second half Nick Davila lofted a pass that found Rod Windsor so wide open that Windsor made a light jog into the end zone for a 45-yard touchdown. At that point, with a 42-19

Turkish officials and the United Nations High Commission for Refugees in Ankara … AMMAN/BEIRUT, July 25 (Reuters) – The Syrian army turned its forces on Aleppo on Wednesday, ordering an armoured column to advance on the country’s second biggest city and pounding rebel fighters there with artillery and attack helicopters, opposition activists said. As hostilities intensified near the Turkish border, Turkey said it was closing its crossing posts, although the United Nations said refugees fleeing Syria would be allowed through. Two top Syrian diplomats, in the United Arab Emirates and Cyprus, have deserted their posts, becoming the latestofficials to abandon the Damascus government, rebels said. The 16-month revolt against President Bashar al-Assad has been transformed from an insurgency in remote provinces into a battle for control of the two main cities, Aleppo and the capital, Damascus, where fighting exploded last week. Assad’s forces have launched massive counter assaults in both cities. They appear to have beaten rebels back from neighbourhoods in the capital and are turning towards Aleppo, a commercial hub in the north. Syrian forces fired artillery and rockets on Wednesday at the northern Damascus suburb of al-Tel in an attempt to seize it from rebels, causing panic and forcing hundreds of families to flee, residents and opposition activists said.

which was well deserved. The third and final star of the game – I know what you’re thinking, maybe Braden Holtby, right? Thirty saves for the shutout even after enduring the brutality of a madman. Maybe even Jason Chimera, who had a huge performance tallying one goal and three assists for a career-high 4-point night. Turns out, neither of those two men were the third star.

The record in this case reflects the following. In 1991, sixteen-year-old Evans pleaded nolo contendere to one count of armed robbery, a first-degree felony punishable by life imprisonment. Evans was adjudicated as an adult and placed on probation. While on probation, Evans was apprehended when he tried to purchase cocaine. A probation violation *554 hearing was held and, on October 28, 1992, the trial judge found that Evans had violated his probation and sentenced him to seventeen years' imprisonment, followed by five years' probation. That sentence was appealed and the district court of appeal per curiam affirmed the sentence on August 3, 1993.

AFP Brasília: Venezuela's fugitive former top prosecutor was expected to grab the limelight of an international forum in Brazil on Wednesday to intensify her battle against President Nicolas Maduro. Brazil's prosecutors' office confirmed that Luisa Ortega, 59, was taking part in a crime-fighting conference in the capital Brasilia with representatives from the Latin American trade regional group Mercosur. "She is taking part at the invitation of the prosecutor general," the office said in a statement regarding the conference, due to open at 9:00 am (1200 GMT). The appearance of Ortegain Brazil adds to the intrigue around the increasingly high-profile critic, who vowed to use the big stage to deliver new corruption allegations against the embattled leader. "I will talk about the Odebrecht scandal, corruption in Venezuela and my situation," she said in brief comments made to reporters at the airport following her arrival in Brasilia from Panama late Tuesday. She was fired from her post this month after being earlier charged with misconduct by authorities loyal to Maduro. She and her husband, German Ferrer, then fled on Friday after the pro-Maduro Supreme Court issued an arrest warrant against Ferrer for alleged corruption and extortion. On Tuesday, Maduro announced he was asking Interpol to issue "red notice" warrants for "these people involved in serious crimes." However, Columbia and Brazil have both firmly condemned

Sunday, September 21, 2008 Today, September 21,2008, countries around the world observe the International Day of Peace. And at PWTC, Kuala Lumpur today, the Malaysian Armed Forces Veterans Council gathered approximately 3,000 participants comprised of various military and police veteran organisations, university students and NGO's, to commemorate the day as a day of global ceasefire and no-violence. The International Day of Peace resolution was formally adopted by the UN General Assembly at its 111th Plenary meeting on September 7,2001, otherwise referred to as UN Resolution 55/282, whereby it wasdecided that September 21 each year, be observed and celebrated as the International Day of Peace. The KL celebration was officiated by the Deputy Minister of Defence, Datuk Wira Abu Seman, on behalf of the Deputy Prime Minister. Reading the UN Secretary General's message at the gathering this year was the regional UN Representative based in Malaysia. In addressing the Global Peace Forum 2006, Tun Dr. Mahathir among others said that " If this UN call for cessation of hostilities for just one day on September 21st is observed by all warring factions in the world, then we can say that global peace agenda is starting to get dividends. Of course the ultimate objective is for all nations and their leaders to one day agree that for humankind to survive,

In an intense game of inches, it came down to key mistakes and breaks that lead to a, 35-19, Sunnyvale win as the team claimed their first playoff victory of the season. The Panthers opened the game with possession on the 25-yard line, hoping to take an early lead. Sunnyvale player Kenderick Hill denied them that as he picked off a Rhett Gallagher pass intended for Dylan Porter. Hill would run it back to set up the Raiders beautifully on the 1-yard

Bilateral ablation of the XOSG, aimed at prevention of any possible interference due to endogenous cHH was performed 48 hours before the injections, and a fourth group of naïve females (N) was added to the experiment as control just before injections. All 32 females were sacrificed one hour post-injection. The incubation period included ten minutes of anesthesia in ice before sacrifice and all efforts were made to minimize the suffering of the animal. Immediately prior to the hormonal injection the females were bled for the evaluation of the pre-induction hemolymphatic glucose level. A second bleeding was performed just before sacrifice.

Scott Hamilton, Global Ambassador About Scott Scott Hamilton's personal background is one of the most inspiring in the history of sports; a remarkable story of courage and determination that make him a champion in the truest sense of the word. Six weeks after his birth on August 28, 1958, Scott was adopted by Ernest and Dorothy Hamilton, both professors at Bowling Green University in Ohio. When Scott was about two, he contracted a mysterious illness that caused him to stop growing. For the next six years, doctors prescribed a variety of unsuccessful treatments. After his illness was mistakenly diagnosed as cystic fibrosis and he was given six months to live, the Hamilton's took their son to the Children's Hospital in Boston where his ailment began to correct itself by special dietand moderate exercise. Soon he felt well enough to watch his older sister Susan on an ice-skating outing and thereafter decided to try skating himself. From the beginning, Scott skated with great confidence and uncommon speed. He began taking formal lessons, joined a hockey team and within a year, his illness disappeared and he began growing again, although he would always be considerably smaller than his peers. His miraculous recovery was attributed to the effects of intense physical activity in the cold atmosphere of the rink. At thirteen he began training with Pierre Brunet, an Olympic gold medal winner. Over the next several years his continued dedication began to pay off. By 1980 he was good enough to capture third place in national competition and win a berth on the

Park scores 3 times as Iowa State beats Akron 41-14 AKRON, Ohio (AP) - Jacob Park passed for 317 yards and two touchdowns, including a 43-yarder to Marchie Murdock, as Iowa State pulled away in the second half for a 41-14 victory over Akron on Saturday. Junior quarterback Park completed 24 of 33 throws and a scored on a 14-yard run for the Cyclones (2-1), who equaled a school record by topping 40 points for the third straight game to start the season. Iowa State also set a school mark by gaining 400 yards for the sixth game in a row as sophomore David Montgomery rushed for 127 yards and a score, and senior Allen Lazard caught his third TD pass of the year. The Cyclones jumped out to a 14-0 lead,but only took a 20-14 advantage into the break after Zips senior Thomas Woodson tossed a pair of second-quarter touchdowns. He finished 25 of 40 for 240 yards. Junior wide receiver Kwadarrius Smith had 76 yards and a touchdown on three catches for Akron (1-2). Iowa State linebacker Joel Lanning, who started 14 games at quarterback over his first three seasons, recorded his first career interception and sack. THE TAKEAWAY IOWA STATE: The Cyclones outgained Akron 170-45 in the first quarter, but lost their offensive mojo after taking a 14-point lead. Once the third period began, they got back on track by riding Park and Montgomery, who combined for their next nine touches covering 87 yards. The strategy was sound and kept the Zips guessing. AKRON: Woodson displayed strong resolve despite being sacked

erred in ordering payment of the judgment from the Fund even though there was a possibility that the judgment debtor was an insured under an automobile liability policy issued to Elsie Mae Farrow (named insured) by the Maryland Indemnity Insurance Company (insurance company or insurer). At the time of the accident, the judgment debtor was operating a truck owned by the named insured, which, with her permission, he was using to tow a merry-go-round mounted on a trailer she had previously sold, but had not delivered, to a third party. While the merry-go-round was being towed from one location to another, the trailer broke loose from the truck and struck the automobile in which the judgment creditor was riding and seriously injured her. When the insurance company was notified ofthe accident, it denied coverage and the injured party filed notice of an intention to make a claim against the Fund and subsequently filed suit against both the owner and the operator of the truck. At the trial of the case, the jury found in favor of the injured party against the operator but not the owner of the truck and judgment was entered in accordance with the verdict. And when the judgment creditor was unable to obtain satisfaction of her judgment from the judgment debtor, she applied to the lower court for an order directing payment from the Fund. The application was opposed and at the hearing thereon it was stipulated that the sole issue was whether or not there was a possibility that the judgment debtor

Stingers, a rampaging Fijian and two Dannys looking to be champions of the world - ESPN looks back at the key talking points from the last weekend of rugby. Seventh-placed hype a timely addition How do you make the end-of-season run-in more appealing? Introduce a new curveball. For the last few seasons, Aviva Premiership supporters up and down the country have known at the start of the season exactly what it will take for their team to survive, get into the play-offs or secure a spot in the Heineken Cup. There were other permutations which could have seen an extra place offered in Europe's premier tournament based on who had won it, but there was never another option set in stone. Until now. Finishing in seventh now gives teams from theTop 14 and the Premiership a shot at European salvation. Not only does it bring a new added incentive for the team but it is also a great addition for broadcasters, stakeholders and clubs alike as they attempt to sell games to the punters at the season's end when much has already been decided. Mention of the seventh-placed Holy Grail dominated talk running up to Wasps' game against Gloucester and will no doubt be rolled out over the next two rounds of the Premiership and over the Channel in France.

Before leaving for Africa, Tillerson had issued specific direction on the two-plus-two dialogue, which for all practical purposes was scheduled for around mid-April (18 and 19) in Washington DC. However, a formal announcement in this regard had not yet been made. A high-level Indian delegation led by Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale and Defense Secretary G Mohan Kumar were scheduled to be in US for a series of preparatory meetings with their American counterparts for the next month’s dialogue. The State Department and the Indian Embassy in Washington DC did not respond to a series of questions on the fate of these meetings this week inof 1862: Together these two acts helped grow the American middle class, especially in the central and western parts of the country. The Homestead Act allowed citizens to lay claim to federal lands if they lived on the land and improved it. Thus, instead of large swaths of the country being sold off to the highest bidders, creating a region of wealthy landowners and impoverished tenant-farmers, those lands ended up in the hands of farmers who underpinned a strong, growing, middle class among the farmers and in the communities that flourished with them. The Morrill Act created the land-grant colleges that developed agricultural improvements and created educational opportunity for a broader cross-section of Americans.

http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | Since the early 1990s, I have been reporting about the monstrous abuses and genocide in Sudan — first in the South against black Christians and animists, and then in Darfur against black African Muslims. In December 2005, I saw a flicker of hope that, despite the uselessness of the United Nations, this modern holocaust might be stopped. That hope sprang from an article I read in the Washington Post by two senators: Democrat Barack Obama and Republican Sam Brownback. In "Policy Adrift in Darfur," the senators (Brownback has actually gone to Darfur) wrote: "If the United States does not change its approach to Darfur, an already grim situation is likely to spiral out of control. ... When the history of this tragedy is written, nobody will remember howto destroy the black tribes of Darfur — as his ruthless Janjaweed killers kept gleefully assuring their victims. Also on March 4, before an orchestrated huge crowd in Khartoum, al-Bashir, as he was dancing and swaying, told the ICC to "eat" its arrest warrant while the cheering crowd burned in effigy the court's undeviating chief prosecutor, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, who clearly should have been Time Magazine's "Man of the Year." In further strutting his contempt of the ICC, al-Bashir commanded 13 foreign humanitarian organizations to get out of the country within 24 hours as his thugs ransacked their offices, taking computers and whatever cash they could find. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, at last summoning what appeared to be real clear anger at the bloodthirsty head of this sovereign state, emphasized that 4.7

protector. Although Rodgers' durability is one of his greatest assets, the Packers did shuffle the deck somewhat behind him during training camp. In early August, Green Bay signed 2006 No. 3 overall pick Vince Young as a free agent. Young, who went to two Pro Bowls (2006, '09) as Tennessee's starter before getting released and signing with Philadelphia in 2011, then proceeded to beat out incumbent backup Graham Harrell, who was released on Aug. 25. Unfortunately, Young didn't do enough to secure one of the final roster spots, so for now, the Packers will go with last season's seventh-round pick B.J. Coleman as the only other quarterback on the roster. DefenseOn defense, the unit is trying to get past its epic season-ending embarrassment, as the San Francisco 49ers rolled upRobert Francois re-signed as a restricted free agent; and unrestricted free agent Erik Walden (Indianapolis) and untendered restricted free agent Frank Zombo (Kansas City) both departed. Fill-in starter D.J. Smith was jettisoned, too. Inside, there are plenty of players, but it’s debatable how many of them are good. Desmond Bishop, the team's leading tackler in 2011, was released during the summer as the Packers weren't pleased with his ongoing recovery from the serious hamstring injury that kept him out all of 2012. Jones is slated to replace Bishop as the other starting inside linebacker opposite Hawk. Outside, Matthews, 2012 first-round pick Nick Perry and under-the-radar second-year man Dezman Moses all generate pressure, but in a scheme predicated on outstanding play from that position, it seems thin.

Widespread use of smoked marijuana in the San Francisco Bay Area as a treatment for HIV-related anorexia and weight loss, as well as nausea related to prescribed therapy, prompted the design of a clinical trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of this controlled substance. The Community Consortium--the Bay Area's community-based HIV clinical trials organization--designed a first pilot evaluation of smoked marijuana compared to oral tetrahydrocannabinol (THC, synthesized as dronabinol or Marinol) in 1993. A legal source of marijuana could not be identified. Two subsequent applications to the National Institutes of Health were submitted in 1996 and 1997. During the intervening period, increasing numbers of people with HIV infection were obtaining marijuana for "medicinal use" from local Cannabis Buyer's Clubs. In November 1996, California

"Of course, Cary has already established itself as a one of the top destinations in the U.S. for collegiate and amateur sports, and it has already been designated as an NCAA Championship City. And this announcement today further strengthens Cary's brand and its well-earned reputation as one of the NCAA's most reliable host cities. "We are also thrilled that N.C. State University was awarded a women's gymnastics regional in what will be the newly-renovated Reynolds Coliseum." The NCAA awarded 523 sites ashosts for 82 of its 89 championships today, spanning academic years 2014-2015 through 2017-2018. The bidding process began in July and final submissions were due in mid-September. Each sport committee, per division, then selected the host sites it believed would provide the ultimate experience for the competing student-athletes. The selected cities represent 39 states across the United States. Florida led the way as the state with the most championship site selections with 42 sites, while Pennsylvania had 34 selections and Texas finished with 30. California and North Carolina rounded out the top five with 29 each.

The employers did not attempt to get refunds. In 1988, the procedure changed. A new law required the Director to pay interest on refunds of "erroneously paid contributions." The law also required the Director to "quarterly furnish each employer with a statement of credit balances in the employer's account" starting after January 1, 1988. 820 ILCS 405/2201.1 (West 1992).

Floating Doctors Gabriel Noble The Upbeat•June 20, 2013 A doctor who is on-call throughout the developing world! When Benjamin LaBrot was in second grade in Southern California, he told his class that when he grew up he wanted to be two things: a doctor and a marine biologist. His teacher told him he had to choose one, but he was determined to combine his love of the ocean with his desire to help people. He started achieving his goals in junior high school, when he worked on sport and commercial fishing boats and the Marine Science Floating Laboratory vessel as a research diver. This led him to become certified as an emergency medical technician and a scuba dive buddy for divers with paraplegia, quadriplegia or blindness. Throughout his schooling, he and his peers wenton personal medical missions all over the developing world. After college he moved to Ireland and joined the global medicine program at the Royal College of Surgeons. It was on one particular mission to Tanzania in 2006 that he truly found his calling. With a backpack full of medicine, he set up under a tree in a desolate and impoverished village in the Serengeti. A line of 50 patients formed, all of them with a variety of ailments from tuberculosis to lion wounds to common colds. It was not long, however, before the supplies in his backpack were depleted and the line had only grown longer. Heartbroken and driven to tears by the fact that he would have to leave patients untreated, he decided then and there that he would

The battle popularly known as "Custer's Last Stand," and now also recognized as the last stand of the Plains Indians (who called it the Battle of the Greasy Grass), was fought in southeastern Montana on June 25-26, 1876.

After the great atomic wars, the old cities of New York, Washington and Philadelphia had been built over. Rather than knocking them down, it was easier to build a plascrete cover over the radiated wasteland, and build a new Mega City on a new clean slate. Great big support structures penetrated the remains of the old city. What was left of the rivers and sewers that ran through them, had inthe light of the radiation glow, mutated and changed from all that was recognisable from history vids. Over the years, a few living souls had found comfort and shelter in the pitch darkness, mutants, humans, thieves and the lost, had found their way through cracks and tunnels to the Undercity. Often Judges had taken their long walk into the darkness rather than the Cursed earth. And during the terror that was Necropolis, Dredd and Anderson had staged their comeback against the Dark Judges from the old city.

With the club already out of the League Cup and facing a tough test against Bayern Munich in the Champions League it seems their trophy drought, which stretches back to 2005, is unlikely to end this year - and The Sunday Telegraph's Burt reckons Wenger could depart the club in the near future. "He deserves respect but I can't see it carrying on for much longer. I think they will have to make a change."

Facing fierce opposition from the public — and stern questioning from Portland Mayor Sam Adams — Multnomah County decided to not move forward on their cost-cutting proposal for the Sellwood Bridge project. The proposal would have had significant impacts to bicycling on the bridge and it has only been public for about one week (versus six years of process to reach consensus on the existing design). Adams was clearly displeased with many aspects of the proposal throughout a meeting of the Project Stakeholder Committee which took place at Multnomah County headquarters today. At the meeting, the County was asking Adams and the PSC (which includes state legislators and reps from TriMet, ODOT, the Federal Highway Administration, and more) to agree to the plan ahead of a vote by theTEHRAN — Iran hanged 16 prisoners on Saturday in apparent retaliation for the killing a day earlier of 14 border guards in an ambush along the nation’s rugged southeast frontier with Pakistan, Iranian news agencies reported. The condemned prisoners were linked to groups “hostile to the system,” said the semi-official Fars News agency. The hangings were “in response” to the killing on Friday of the border guards during a cross-border ambush in Saravan township in southeastern Sistan-Baluchistan province, Fars reported. It was unclear if the hanged suspects were directly connected to any group involved in the fatal attack on the border guards. The 16 were reportedly executed in a prison in Zahedan, northeast of Saravan. Iranian officials did not confirm reports that a group called Jaish al-Adl (Army of Justice) had claimed

British. In the run-up to the Civil War, Yankees were isolated in their willingness to go to war to stop Deep South-controlled states from seceding. Most observers expected the country to split into three or four confederations, as the other regions had no desire to remain with either party. New York City Mayor Fernando Wood proposed that the city and its Long Island suburbs should become an independent citystate modeled on those of the Hanseatic League, a plan endorsed by at least one congressman, many merchants and bankers, and three major newspapers. The Midlands, Tidewater, and Appalachia sought to create a Central Confederacy that would act as a buffer state between the rival superpowers, a plan championed by Maryland Governor Thomas Hicks. Had Deep Southerners not attacked Fort Sumter—movement to create (Unionist) West Virginia, and unsuccessful ones in eastern Tennessee and northern Alabama; a quartermillion men from Appalachian sections of the Confederacy volunteered for Union service, joining tens of thousands more from Pennsylvania, Maryland, Kentucky, and beyond. Backed by the Midlands, the Left Coast, and the Far West, Yankeedom dominated the federation in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, though Reconstruction lost them the support of Appalachia. In the following decades, alliances shifted around based on the fear of Yankee-directed federal power, but over the past half century the regional blocs have remained stable. Yankeedom, New Netherland, and the Left Coast have faced off against the Deep South, Tidewater, Greater Appalachia, and the Far West over civil rights, the Vietnam and Iraq wars, the environmental and

Last fall, The Chronicle decided that we wouldn't use the name "Redskins" any more when describing the NFL team based in Washington. Some charged us with political correctness. Others - including myself - thought it was a logical and overdue response to an offensive situation that neither the NFL nor Washington owner Daniel Snyder seemed interested in correcting. Now the correction may finally be coming. On Tuesday, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office canceled the Washington Redskins trademark registration. In the ruling, the office announced that it was canceling the trademark because it was "disparaging of Native Americans." The team says it will appeal the ruling. In 1999, the same office ruled against the team and the ruling was overturned. Things might be different now. President Obama and half the U.S.U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke talks to reporters before departing Kanab Airport on May 10, 2017 in Kanab, Utah. Zinke has been in the state of Utah since Sunday talking with state and local officials and touring the Bears Ears National Monument. Interior Department Secretary Ryan Zinke is being investigated by the Justice Department for possible use of his federal office for personal benefit, according to a new report Tuesday. The probe of Zinke, which was detailed in a CNN article, came after the Interior Department's internal ethics watchdog referred the case to the Justice Department. That watchdog, the Office of the Inspector General, has been conducting at least three probes of Zinke. It is not clear whether it was one of those investigations, or another case, that was

After several months of on-and-off negotiations, Williams promoter Dan Goossen finalized plans Monday for his fighter to meet Martinez at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall, just downstairs from the site of Williams' contested majority-decision victory in their first meeting Dec. 5. After failing yet again in his quixotic quest to land a welterweight title shot, the versatile Williams (39-1, 27 KOs) accepted an HBO bout for Martinez's WBC 160-pound title. "They're tough fights to make at this level," Goossen told The Associated Press. "You've got these two aggressive fighters who are the most avoided guys in this sport, so there's no guessing what's going to happen

Bryan Robinson, who played on the defensive line for five NFL teams from 1997 to 2010, has died at age 41. Robinson was pronounced dead after 10 p.m. on Saturday after being found in a Milwaukee hotel room, the Milwaukee County medical examiner's office said in a statement. An autopsy done Monday found no trauma, and the cause of death is pending results of toxicology tests. Milwaukee police told the Chicago Tribune that there were no signs of anything suspicious, and they are investigating the situation as a sudden death. Bryan Robinson played for the Cardinals in a divisional playoff game in New Orleans on Jan. 16, 2010. AP Photo/Dave Martin There was no immediate word why Robinson, of Gurnee, Illinois, was at the Midpoint Motel in Milwaukee. Robinson had his bestyears with the Chicago Bears from 1998 to 2003, registering 16.5 of his 24 career sacks. He played in Super Bowl XLIII with the Arizona Cardinals. One of Robinson's most memorable moments came on Nov. 7, 1999, when the Bears played the Packers in their first game after Hall of Famer Walter Payton's death. Chicago had lost 10 straight games to Green Bay, but Robinson blocked a field goal attempt as time expired to give the Bears a 14-13 victory. "I think Walter Payton actually picked me up a little bit and boosted me up in the air because I can't jump that high," Robinson said after the game, according to the Tribune. "Walter had a lot to do with it. I know he did." The St. Louis Rams signed Robinson

The New York Giants and the New England Patriots are ready, and the fans are excitedly looking forward to one of the biggest sporting events of the year. Whether you are an avid football fan or watch the game for the creative commercials, most Americans know who is playing and have stocked up on tasty snacks for the big event. What many do not know, however, is that high profile sporting events like the Super Bowl mask an ongoing tragedy that happens behind-the-scenes. According to the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility (ICCR), "Traffickers in the sex trade are gearing up for their most profitable weekend of the year." Members of ICCR have been working with hotels and law-enforcement venues in the cities that host mammoth sporting events, including theby any business with local councils. Justice Jeremy Allanson noted in his judgement the language of the legislation was directed at ensuring community participation and accountability of local governments to their communities, and not whether a disposition was "legally effective". "Accordingly, while the public notices published by the City did not comply with s 3.58, in my opinion the failure does not affect the validity of the decision to enter the lease," the judgment read.

Parker put South Africa ahead in the 34th minute. Getaneh Kebede levelled shortly before half-time and an own goal from Parker 20 minutes from time settled it in Ethiopia's favour as they moved five points clear. It means the 2010 hosts will now not be in Brazil next year, while Ethiopia, ranked 115th by FIFA, will have a two-legged tie to book their place in the finals for the first time. Egypt are also through from Group G following a 1-0 win over Mozambique which came courtesy of Mohamed Salah's goal five minutes before half-time.

The Newcastle striker opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 19th minute and then doubled his account nine minutes into the second half as Senegal moved a point above Uganda, who beat beat Angola on Saturday.
