The Board rejected the claim on July 16, 1985, after giving Wright an opportunity to present evidence in support of his allegations at one of its meetings, finding insufficient evidence of Department of Corrections negligence.

On August 27, 1985, Wright filed the current civil rights lawsuit pro se, naming Newsome, Diaz, Mincey and unknown "John Does and Richard Does" (correctional officers or other agents of Newsome) as defendants. He alleged First and Fourteenth Amendment violations of his right to access to the courts and to procedural due process of law. He also invoked the court's pendent jurisdiction over his claims under Georgia law for destruction of his property and conversion. He requested declaratory and injunctive relief and damages. He simultaneously asked the court to allowdescription of the relief requested within twenty days. The court ordered service of the order and the complaint on the defendants and invited them to respond to the access to courts claim.

Wright responded to the order by filing a "Motion to Amend" in which he restated the facts contained in his initial complaint and added allegations that the defendants' misconduct was in retaliation for prior lawsuits and administrative grievances he had filed, that black inmates had filed other grievances notifying Newsome of the "outrageous" treatment of blacks by Diaz and Mincey, and that the seizure and destruction of property were committed pursuant to established state procedure. Apparently in support of the latter assertion, Wright stated that officials at GSP have been subject to court orders issued | {

Previous ranking: 24
After an absence of 14 games, Dirk Nowitzki is back at last for the Mavericks, who are also reveling in some strong recent contributions from Deron Williams and the first game-winning bucket of Harrison Barnes' career. Dallas is by no means whole, with Andrew Bogut still sidelined and J.J. Barea not quite back yet, but some within the Big D sports populace -- when they're not wrapped up in what's happening with the Cowboys -- are starting to worry that the Mavs are poised to start winning more regularly and thus endanger local dreams of a high lotterythis era of advanced stats, but the Trail Blazers' ongoing 1-9 funk is like the car crash you can't look away from. Washington was an early pacesetter in the league's Most Disappointing Team derby before the Wiz began to right themselves -- while Minnesota, Atlanta and Detroit are all still on that list -- but the Blazers have to top it as 2016 dribbles to a close. There's a risk for further disappointment as well Monday night, with Damian Lillard's ankle woes threatening to derail the scheduled showdown between the league's two highest-scoring backcourts: Lillard and C.J. McCollum versus Toronto's DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry.

description
The epic graphic novel by Frank Miller (Sin City) assaults the screen with the blood, thunder and awe of its ferocious visual style faithfully recreated in an intense blend of live-action and CGI animation. Retelling the ancient Battle of Thermopylae, it depicts the titanic clash in which King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) and 300 Spartans fought to the death against Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) and his massive Persian army. Experience history at swordpoint. And moviemaking with a cutting edge.
It seem animation movies but real action on drama, love, war and battle for freedom

GreatPhylogeny of the kinetoplastida: taxonomic problems and insights into the evolution of parasitism.
To further investigate phylogeny of kinetoplastid protozoa, the sequences of small subunit (18S) ribosomal RNA of nine bodonid isolates and ten isolates of insect trypanosomatids have been determined. The root of the kinetoplastid tree was attached to the branch of Bodo designis and/or Cruzella marina. The suborder Trypanosomatina appeared as a monophyletic group, while the suborder Bodonina was paraphyletic. Among bodonid lineages, parasitic organisms were intermingled with free-living ones, implying multiple transitions to parasitism and supporting the 'vertebrate-first hypothesis'. The tree indicated that the genera Cryptobia and Bodo are artificial taxa. Separation of fish cryptobias and Trypanoplasma borreli as different genera was not supported. In trypanosomatids, the genera Leptomonas and Blastocrithidia were polyphyletic, similar to the | {

Family To Appeal CO Lawsuit Dismissal
OCEAN CITY – Two months after a federal judge dismissed a $20 million civil suit filed against Ocean City paramedics last year by the family of two Pennsylvania tourists who died of carbon monoxide poisoning in a Boardwalk hotel room in June 2006, the plaintiffs have filed an appeal in the case.
Last June, Yvonne and Morgan Boughter, family members of the pair of tourists who perished from carbon monoxide poisoning at the Days Inn on the Boardwalk in June 2006, filed suit against the town of Ocean City’s Department of Emergency Services-Fire/EMS Division, along with five individual paramedics, for allegedly failing to respond to their first 911 call at around 9:43 a.m. on that fateful morning. In November of 2009, Senior U.S.Two members of the family, Patrick Boughter and his daughter Kelly, later succumbed to carbon monoxide poisoning, while the surviving family members, Yvonne Boughter and her other daughter, Morgan, were later hospitalized.
From the beginning, the plaintiffs alleged the Ocean City Emergency Services hastily abandoned efforts to find the family in distress after tending to the needs of families in other first-floor units in the hotel on the day of the tragedy. Last August, Ocean City filed a motion to dismiss the case against the paramedics, citing a variety of reasons chief among them a notion the defendants owed no affirmative duty of care to the plaintiffs.
Records show at around 9:30 a.m. on June 27, 2006, a family sharing rooms 125 and 127 at the Days Inn called 911 | {

Paris Saint-Germain striker and pending free agent Zlatan Ibrahimovic is in discussions to play in Major League Soccer, multiple sources told ESPN FC.
The 34-year-old Swede, who is out of contract in July, confirmed on Friday that he will not return to the French champions for the 2016-17 season, but he did not announce his next club.
Ibrahimovic, who joined PSG in 2012, has been linked to the LA Galaxy, Manchester United and former club AC Milan in recent days.
LA Galaxy president Chris Klein declined to comment on Ibrahimovic when contacted by ESPN FC, but one source said should the former Ajax, Barcelona, Inter Milan and Juventus forward reach an agreement with MLS, his destination would indeed be the Galaxy.
"I think it's going to happen," the source added.
But another sourcelast summer expires in December.
Asked if he was planning on moving any of his designated players, Klein said he was not.
But there are rumblings out of Los Angeles that Keane, who turns 36 in July, is mulling retirement after this season. And one source admitted that "it might be possible" for the Galaxy to loan Ibrahimovic to a European team until January, then bring him back to Southern California for the start of the 2017 MLS season. | {

Mass. sues feds over definition of marriage
BOSTON — Massachusetts, the first state to legalize gay marriage, sued the U.S. government Wednesday over a federal law that defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman.
The federal Defense of Marriage Act interferes with the right of Massachusetts to define and regulate marriage as it sees fit, Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley said. The 1996 law denies federal recognition of gay marriage and gives states the right to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Boston, argues the act “constitutes an overreaching and discriminatory federal law.” It says the approximately 16,000 same-sex couples who have married in Massachusetts since the state began performing gay marriages in 2004 are being unfairlysaid Emilio Neri, an economist at the Bank of the Philippine Islands in Manila.
Others see only opportunities. Qiang Huang, a realtor based in the Chinese city of Hefei, expects Manila home prices to get a boost from the steady stream of Chinese workers catering not only to offshore gaming customers, but also mainland clients who frequent brick-and-mortar casinos.
A high-rolling gamer himself, Huang first visited the area in November to place bets at Bloomberry Resorts Corp.’s Solaire casino and realized that Manila could scratch more than his gambling itch. He’s planning to build a 500-square-meter showroom in the city to lure Chinese real estate investors and will soon sign contracts to market apartments at two projects.

USA TODAY NETWORK - Tennessee
A group of Williamson County residents, including three ministers, is asking Williamson County Clerk Elaine Anderson to stop issuing all marriage licenses until a lawsuit filed on Thursday is settled.
The lawsuit, filed in chancery court by former lawmaker David Fowler on behalf of the Constitutional Government Defense Fund, is attempting to challenge how Tennessee is affected by the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Obergefell vs. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage.
The legal action comes one day after a House subcommittee voted to reject the Tennessee Natural Marriage Defense Act, a bill sponsored by state Rep. Mark Pody, R-Lebanon, which would have required state officials to disobey the U.S. Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex marriage.
During a morning press conference at the Capitol, Fowler said theheart of the lawsuit is based upon determining who rules the citizens of Tennessee and ultimately the people of the United States.
After pointing out the lawsuit is not an attempt to deny the power of a federal court to judge the constitutionality of a given law, Fowler said the issue is centered on one question.
"How does anyone, regardless of the sexes of the parties, get a valid marriage license pursuant to an invalid law?" he asked.
Fowler said the Supreme Court is attempting to "declare by judicial fiat" a new law rather than allowing the legislative branch to determine what to do in the aftermath of the court's decision.
"This lawsuit asserts the simple proposition that an invalid law is no law," he said. "And the power asserted by the | {

The Silverblack
Biography
Brought to life by the devious minds of the multi-instrumentalist and producer Alessio NeroArgento (already active with his main band NeroArgento besides being involved in many collaborations worldwide as a producer, arranger and musician) and vocalist Claudio Ravinale (known for being the voice of anger of the death metal institution Disarmonia Mundi the horror metal act 5 Star Grave) "The Silverblack" is an industrial metal creature that quickly developed its own malicious sound, spitting out extremely catchy industrial metal tracks, mainly keyboard-driven and supported by a wide range of vocals (from goth deep voices to extremely irate death metal shouts) featuring both sharp and aggressive passages and more atmospheric and eerie moments.
After releasing the self-titled debut album in 2014 via AExeron Media/FiXT divided into five monthly episodesof two songs each, the band quickly recorded 11 brand new tracks (produced as usual by NeroArgento at AExeron Studios) for the second album entitled "The Grand Turmoil" released via Sliptrick Records in autumn 2015.
"The Grand Turmoil" hah been praised by both critics and fans worldwide for refining further the band's formula melting together industrial beats, rot'n'roll assaults, gothic parts and metal onslaughts, sharpening and enhancing to a higher degree the already unique band's venomous sound.
After releasing a more experimental electro-driven ep entitled "The Industrial Chapters" under the monicker "The Silverblack Dj-Set" and the stand-alone single "Alone" (both via Reload Music, powered by Sony Music Italy) the band finally completed the production of their third official full-lenght album "Rain On A Wedding Day".

Bill Clinton says the Clinton Foundation is doing just fine, despite media reports to the contrary.
In an open letter posted on the foundation website, the former president among other things extolled the charitable accomplishments of the organization around the world and claimed that news reports that it was in the red by $40 million in 2007 and 2008 and $8 million in 2012 were incorrect.
The William J. Clinton Foundation, which has recently been renamed the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, also reportedly spent $50 million on travel expenses in the past decade. The charity is in the process of reorganizing to help it run more efficiently. The foundation brought in $214 million last year alone.

Panetta Takes over at Pentagon, Cites Priorities
WASHINGTON (AP) — On his first day as Pentagon chief, Leon Panetta said his top priorities are preserving U.S. military power despite budget cuts, defeating al-Qaida, stabilizing Afghanistan and forging a "real and lasting partnership" with Iraq.
Panetta huddled Friday with the Joint Chiefs of Staff shortly after taking the oath as the nation's 23rd secretary of defense, signaling that he intends to follow the example of his predecessor, Robert Gates, in building ties with the military brass. He said he would, like Gates, put a premium on advocating for the needs of troops and their families.
"Rest assured that ... I will fight for you," he said in a Fourth of July video message to U.S. troops worldwide.
He sounded the same theme athis swearing-in, which was closed to reporters. According to a Pentagon spokesman, Marine Col. David Lapan, Panetta said during the brief oath-taking ceremony in his new office, "There is no higher responsibility for a secretary of defense than to protect those who are protecting America."
The former eight-term congressman and one-time White House budget chief is likely to begin visiting troops in the field this summer. Gates flew to Iraq the day after he was sworn in, to show his support for the troops.
Panetta came to the Pentagon after 2½ years as CIA chief, a tenure highlighted by the May 2 raid that killed Osama bin Laden. At age 73, Panetta is the oldest incoming defense secretary in history and the first Democrat to run the far-flung Defense Department | {

Chelsea Manager News: Blues Consider Ex-Real Madrid Manager
Chelsea have been linked with an approach for Malaga manager Manuel Pellegrini in the summer. The Chilean, who has also had spells with Villarreal and perhaps most famously Real Madrid, is contracted with the La Liga club till 2015.
The Independent quotes Jesus Martinez, Pellegrini's agent, in conversation with Chilean newspaper El Mercurio: "Manuel has a contract with Malaga. I think that in April and May we will be clear about what will happen with his future. We had a formal offer from Roma, but we rejected it. It was less than 15 days ago, but we discarded it outright because we are in the middle of the season."
Martinez confirmed Premier League clubs were interested in his client, citing the Blues asone example: "Chelsea and other clubs have asked, but only through intermediaries, nothing official. Manuel would love to coach in the English Premier League, as he would in Germany, Italy and other important leagues."
The Stamford Bridge post is presently held by Spanish manager Rafael Benitez. The ex-Liverpool boss was appointed on an interim basis in November, after club owner Roman Abramovich sacked Italian Roberto Di Matteo. The ex-Chelsea midfielder, who incidentally was also an interim appointee at first, led the club to a maiden Champions League trophy last season but a group stage defeat to Juventus (which ultimately led to the Blues' elimination) led to his sacking.
The 59-year-old Pellegrini is widely viewed as an astute and somewhat underrated manager, given his record of success. The ex-defender won the | {

Martin Lewis to Sue Facebook over ‘Fake’ Ads
Martin Lewis, a British journalist and money-saving expert, has said he’ll sue Facebook for defamation for publishing fake ads with his name.
According to MoneySavingExpert founder, the social media platform published more than fifty adverts featuring his name and face that caused reputational damage to him.
Lewis will file court papers at the High Court for a defamation case against the California-based company on Monday, according to BBC.
He said any damages he wins from Facebook would be donated to anti-fraud charities.
Lewis said several of the adverts with titles such as Bitcoin Code or Cloud Trader were operating as fronts for binary trading firms outside European Union (EU).
He said unlike advertising companies like Outbrain and Revcontent, Facebook has failed to remove such adverts despiteTexas chapter of the Brown Berets de Cemanahuac, a Latino advocacy group, show the same boy outside the cage as activists hold signs urging the White House to "stop separating families."

It may not have helped that the show was dropped after only a couple of weeks from its 9:30 p.m. time slot to a 8 p.m. one. It also may not have helped that The Office and 30 Rock were in a bit of creative slump as well.
The next years continued the trend of waning popularity, averaging 4.44 and 4.03 million viewers in season two and three, respectively. Community‘s overall ranking for those two seasons was 138th and 144th, certainly ranking below plenty of less critically acclaimed shows.
Of course there was the November 2011 announcement of a the mid-season hiatus that really showed that NBC was taking of the kid gloves and putting on the big boy gauntlets. Cue the lash back.

What I Love About My Small Home:
Our home was once the parlor of an old ship captain's home that was built in the 1800s, so it has a lot of rich history and architectural details that we fell in love with the second we set foot in the space. The big windows that bring in a ton of natural light, the high ceilings with crown molding, and the working fireplace that's been a tad more essential than the novelty we originally thought are just a few of the old world features and quirks that we love so much.

[T]he [Slate] Explainer has uncovered evidence of the 8x8 myth going all the way back to 1796, in a German text by Dr. Christoph Wilhelm Hufeland called Makrobiotik. The book includes an anecdote about the surgeon general to the king of Prussia, a vibrant 80-year-old man who had "contracted the habit of drinking daily from seven to eight glasses" of cold water and thus "enjoyed much better health than in his youth."
The article goes on to relate the history of the hydrotherapy craze. It also mentions the most commonly cited source, the 1945 recommendations of the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council (a U.S. organization), which wrote:

Anthony Johnson, Buffalo: I'm a big fan of Johnson's after watching his film. The 6-2, 211-pound wideout has breakaway speed, playmaking ability and showed up each and every game. Coming out of Buffalo, his value might not be as high as some of the other guys on this list. But talent is talent, no matter the competition. Johnson, who finished second in the FBS in 2017 with an average of 113.0 receiving yards per game, has the potential to be the next Cooper Kupp coming out of the draft.

supporter of (the) Second Amendment, Gov. Scott is glad that a vast majority of this law was never challenged and upheld in court,” Scott spokeswoman Lauren Schenone said in an email last week.
The court found the record-keeping, inquiry and anti-harassment provisions of the law are unconstitutional, but upheld the portion of the law that bars doctors from discriminating against patients who have guns.
The law — the first of its kind in the country — also prohibits insurers from discriminating against gun owners, an element of the statute that was not challenged.

Interest in amyloidogenesis has exploded in recent years, as scientists recognize the role of amyloid protein aggregates in degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Assembly of proteins or peptides into mature amyloid fibrils is a multistep process initiated by conformational changes, during which intermediate aggregation states such as oligomers, protofibrils, and filaments are sampled. Although once it was assumed that the mature fibril was the biologically toxic species, more recently it has been widely speculated that soluble intermediates are the most damaging. Because of its relevance to mechanism of disease, the paths traversed during fibrillogenesis, and the kinetics of the process, are of considerable interest. In this review we discuss various kinetic models used to describe amyloidogenesis. | {

Originally from Finistère, a region in Brittany, France, known as the “end of the earth,” Fournier earned a bachelor’s in furniture and space design from L’Institut Supérieur des Arts Appliqués in Rennes, France, then a master’s in architecture from Ecole Spéciale d’Architecture in Paris. After several years working in locations as far-flung as China, Japan, Chilean Patagonia, Peru and Argentina, Fournier landed in Barcelona in 2015 and opened his own product and interior design studio, Atelier Raphael Fournier.

through to BARC, which then dispatched an animal control officer to the home. An HPD officer joined him. The officers could hear the striped animal — and smell the unmistakable aroma associated with cat urine that followed it to the shelter. It was enough to obtain a search warrant.
The feline they found inside was trapped inside a 4 by 8-foot cage, resting on a bed of hay. He had eaten recently but was dehydrated. Police described the enclosure as "rinky-dink" and said it was unlocked. The garage was reportedly secured with a screwdriver and a nylon strap.
She said the tiger woke up Tuesday morning in "good spirits" after spending the night at BARC's animal shelter in a tranquilizer-induced cat nap.
"It was snoring adorably," she said, adding that hewas well-behaved, too. The tiger posed regally for photographs and picked up its food bowl with his mouth in an apparent attempt to request a meaty nosh.
"It was really Instagram-friendly," Cottingham said.
As the sun went down Monday, neighbors were shocked to hear they were sharing the block with a tiger, whose counterparts in the wild are an endangered species.
"Maybe they had it like a pet," said Pablo Briagas, whose guard dogs were roaming his driveway. "You know people these days."
He was worried the tiger they never knew about could have escaped and hurt someone.
His son, Isaac, was certain their dogs would have protected them if the tiger had broken free of its cage.

A World War II anti-fascism propaganda film found a new audience after the deadly white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va. on Saturday, Aug. 12. (The Washington Post)
Modern antifa politics can be traced to resistance to waves of xenophobia and the emergence of white power skinhead culture in Britain in the 1970s and ’80s. It also has its roots in self-defense groups organized by revolutionaries and migrants in Germany, as the fall of the Berlin Wall unleashed a violent neo-Nazi backlash.
In the United States and Canada, activists of the Anti-Racist Action Network (ARA) doggedly pursued Klansmen, neo-Nazis and other assorted white supremacists from the late 1980s into the 2000s. Their motto was simple but bold: “We go where they go.” If Nazi skinheads handed outJohn Coletti/Getty Images(COLD SPRING, Minn.) -- As school districts across the country grapple with ideas to better protect students after a gunman killed 26 people at a Connecticut elementary school in December, a school system in Minnesota is stocking classrooms with bulletproof whiteboards to guard against possible future shootings.

On November 5, 1986, the State filed a notice of probation revocation, alleging that Alberts had "[f]ail[ed] to complete payment of his court-ordered financial obligations". On November 20, 1986, the trial court heard the matter. After considering the testimony of Alberts and his community corrections officer, the trial court revoked the deferred sentence and imposed a suspended sentence on the condition that Alberts continue to pay the ordered restitution.

The point appeared to be proved three months later on a U.S.-bound Air France flight. The "Shoebomber" attempted to light his footwear, and the flight attendants and passengers pounced.

Teddy Bears' Tea Party

Today we had a tea party in Ethan's play tent with some of his toys and teddies. The honoured guests were Elmo and Scout, Ethan's favourites.
Ethan helped me to gather up all of the teddies and then to set up the tea pot, cups and play food. He stirred the tea and poured it into the cups and then fed it to his guests. He was very sweet and gentle when he fed the teddies, it was lovely to watch. An excellent activity for his Personal, Social and Emotional Development as he learns to be kind and gentle to others and to share.Also, as a side note, there has been a bit in the news about gender stereotyping toys. It can be quite frustrating asA friendly basketball game between China and Brazil on Tuesday ended after a huge fight reportedly broke out between both teams.
The brawl began after China's team coach argued with a referee over a foul that was called. Both teams started to play very physically, eventually leading to the brawl.
Both benches cleared and players started throwing kicks and punches at each other.
After they were separated and play was stopped, China's players attacked the Brazilians while they were walking to the locker room. The Brazilians reportedly refused to play the rest of the game.

The most probable route is to have two or more of the longest serving internationals gain green card status and count as domestics on the 2018 roster. The mechanisms for achieving such a status are varied, but other players around MLS have earned green cards in as little as one year of tenure in the league. Of the current 10 International Players listed on the official Earthquakes roster, the logical candidates are Anibal Godoy, Harold Cummings, Jahmir Hyka, and Florian Jungwirth.

Some 95 Somalis, all men, and two Kenyans have landed at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi after being deported from the United States, Nairobi News reports. The men, believed to have been in the US without a permit, were accompanied by American security officers. The officers followed the Somali citizens on a plane back to Mogadishu.
The Kenyan newspaper The Star writes that staff at the JKI Airport heard the American security officers say that the deportations were a result of President Donald Trump’s policy of deporting illegal immigrants.
The Star writes that an estimated 30 000 illegal Kenyan immigrants risk deportation from the United States. The illegals enjoyed residence in the US without the necessary paperwork during Barack Obama’s presidency.next Image 1 of 2

Original artifacts from Tutankhamun's tomb are on display in Paris in an exhibit celebrating the centenary of the discovery of the most famous pharaoh's treasures.
Some items are returning to Paris more than 50 years after a similar exhibit attracted 1.24 million visitors, a record that still stands for the French capital.
Organizers say more than a third of the artifacts are leaving Egypt for the first and last time before going to a new museum being built near the Giza Pyramids in Egypt.
Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered in 1922 by British archaeologist Howard Carter, about 3,400 years after his death.

I spent last week at the Annual Meeting and tradeshow of one of our association partners. The meeting and show were a success – despite the economy.
Honestly I was a little worried going into the meeting. The leadership has been divisive recently and it was unclear going into the meetings whether they could overcome their challenges. However, at the meeting the association leadership really started coming together. They recognized the importance of working toward a common goal – the association’s mission. Here are some of the reasons I think they are moving in the right direction together now:

Between 2011 and 2015, the Slovak Republic, Croatia and the Czech Republic rounded out the Unwelcome Index's top four. It's no coincidence that all are Eastern European countries with sizeable Roma populations. "There was a lot of discrimination and rights abuses affecting Roma in those countries" during this period, said Janet Dench, executive director of the Canadian Council for Refugees. After Canada lifted visa requirements on Czech nationals in 2007, for example, Canada experienced a surge in Czech refugee claimants; Canada responded by reimposing visa restrictions in 2009.
"The same discrimination Roma fled inEurope, they experienced here in Canada," said Ms. Dench.

The plight of Hungarian Roma hasn't changed much: Although racist violence peaked around 2008-09, according to an Amnesty International report published in January, they continue to experience hate crimes. But Canada's disposition toward them has changed: Mr. Rehaag said the success rate of their refugee claims surged in recent years, to well over 50 per cent. "Canada has stopped its campaign against the Roma, and there's a more welcoming reception now," he said. The number of Hungarian claimants also recovered significantly – to 939 for the nine months ended Sept. 30 – but remains a fraction of the volume observed five years ago.

Poker Open, sponsored by 888.com - Pacific Poker with a prize pool of almost GBP 300 000.
The grand prize of $134 000 was taken by Talinn, Estonia player Marek Kolk aka "The Maverick," who has previously been "in the money" at a number of major world tournaments including the last WSOP.
It was a tough tournament - Kolk had to defeat a final table that included five other professional players of the calibre of Roland De Wolfe, Theo Dalton, Dave Clayton and Simon Zack, as well as online qualifier Alan Parkinson. Other notable players who competed include England rugby stars Matt Dawson and Austin Healy, Graeme Dott, Ray Parlour, and Eastenders star Billy Murray.
Finally, and this is my favorite case, Estonian Olympian Kaido Kreen was recently sentenced to threeyears in prison for stealing mobile phone parts from Nokia. He's the gentleman to the left in the picture on your right. Luckily, no mobile phone parts fell out of his pocket during the game.
Kaido Kreen was a member of the Estonian beach volleyball team who competed in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. Beside the 41-year-old Kreen, the court in Vantaa in the Helsinki metropolitan area handed down jail sentences to two more Estonians for the same offense, STT news agency said. Kaido Tamme, 36, has to spend two years in prison, while the third man whose name was not disclosed got one year.
According to the sentence, Kreen stole more than 600,000 euros' worth of mobile telephone components from the plant in Salo between 2004-2005. Tamme and the third | {

In cross-examining Detective Kempton at the preliminary hearing, defense counsel asked the name of the informant. The officer declined,[2] claiming privilege under Evidence Code sections 1040 and 1041. Further questions regarding the informant's identity were objected to by the prosecutor, and the objections were sustained. Defendants' attorneys argued that the informant was a material witness on the issue of guilt or innocence because "[w]e believe the informant was in [the residence] less than 24 hours before the arrest and there's a reasonable possibility or probability ... that the informant may have left the contraband on the living room table there, andof the informant to aid the court in its determination whether there is a reasonable possibility that nondisclosure might deprive the defendant of a fair trial.

Any transcription of the proceedings at the in camera hearing, as well as any physical evidence presented at the hearing, shall be ordered sealed by the court, and only a court may have access to its contents.

One of the most heartbreaking things I have experienced is to receive word that someone who seemed to be a dedicated follower of the Lord Jesus Christ has been living a double standard. THEY TALKED A GOOD TALK AND SEEMED TO WALK AN UPRIGHT AND DEDICATED LIFE, BUT IT WAS JUST A SHAM.
Through the years I have had occasion to be in situations where I have been in close contact with men who are away from home and family. For some it is the first time they have been in this situation and they feel a sense of release to do theold or (like me) too young to participate in the war, still celebrated as if we had been on the front lines of the battle.**
It was several years later that I was blessed to meet three Japanese students who were attending college in Nampa, Idaho. These beautiful Christian students had a glow and joy that transcended the horrors of war; they taught us that God is able to end the battles in this world and prepare us for the joy that awaits us in heaven.
It is fascinating to observe the difference in people who have gone through times of trial. Some have developed a bitter and resentful spirit. To me it signifies that they are still fighting the battles that overwhelmed them in the first place.

“brothers” is the clue. Through the Middle Ages and the Counter-Reformation, into the modern period and against the Enlightenment, monks and priests would read Gregory’s words, and through them they would read the Gospels’ texts themselves. Chivalrous knights, nuns establishing houses for unwed mothers, courtly lovers, desperate sinners, frustrated celibates and an endless succession of preachers would treat Gregory’s reading as literally the gospel truth. Holy Writ, having recast what had actually taken place in the lifetime of Jesus, was itself recast.
The men of the church who benefited from the recasting, forever spared the presence of females in their sanctuaries, would not know that this was what had happened. Having created a myth, they would not remember that it was mythical.

MINNEAPOLIS – Adam Thielen is used to having his hometown success story told, but on Wednesday evening he helped tell the story of another Minnesota athlete.
Thielen took the stage alongside Hall of Fame safety Paul Krause as presenters at the inaugural Minnesota Sports Awards, presented by Meet Minneapolis and hosted at the Target Center. Together, the two introduced Maddie Muelken, who was honored with the 2017 Courage Award.
Muelken, a captain of the Farmington High School softball team, was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma just before the start of the 2017 season. Unwilling to give in to the disease, however, Muelken not only faced her treatment head-on but continued to be committed to her team. She missed only a couple of games throughout the season, sometimes pitching an entire gameMr. Kerry appeared to secure another commitment that was not part of a preliminary agreement negotiated in Lausanne. Iranian officials agreed here on a multiyear ban on designing warheads and conducting tests, including with detonators and nuclear triggers, that would contribute to the design and manufacture of a nuclear weapon. Accusations that Tehran conducted that kind of research in the past led to a standoff with inspectors.
Diplomats also came up with unusual procedure to “snap back” the sanctions against Iran if an eight-member panel determines that Tehran is violating the nuclear provisions. The members of the panel are Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia, the United States, the European Union and Iran itself. A majority vote is required, meaning that Russia, China and Iran could not collectively block action.

as the ground for his petition that "[t]he Complainant did not identified [sic] me because she was hooked to the intravenous unit pump, and couldn't get out of the room because it was plugged into the wall." Although Ginyard does not present any argument or analysis in support of this assertion, the Court understands his petition to allege that because of the alleged inability of the victim to identify Ginyard, the evidence presented at the trial was insufficient to support a conviction against him.
On August 21, 2002, the Court ordered Ginyard to file, by October 21, 2002, either a memorandum of law in support of his petition or a declaration indicating that he wished the Appellate Division brief that he submitted alongside his petition to serve as hiscommitted suicide within two months in 2017 after they were allegedly raped by a relative and his friends. After two-year trial the POCSO court acquitted all accused last week saying the prosecution failed to prove their involvement. The court also pulled up the investigating team saying it did not present enough scientific evidence in the case.
The parents of the two girls had also met Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Thursday and sought an independent probe by a central agency. They also pointed out that grave lapses in police probe and interference at local political levels were the main reasons for the acquittal of the accused. The mother reiterated that though she gave a statement saying both died under mysterious circumstances, the FIR mentioned that she also suspected suicide. | {

Alaska Railroad's new diesel forge plant and heavy maintenance
shop in Anchorage, alaska railroad terminal yards. You will recognize the
building as the 320 by 230-foot former Kaiser (Remington) Shell Plant, located
outside of Denver during the war.
A 60-foot bay is scheduled for occupancy by January 31, 1949.
The remainder of the building will be finished by the middle of next summer.
The new forge plant is Alaska's biggest building -- exclusive
of airplane hangars. The four roomy bays will contain three traveling cranes
and equipment to make the shop one of the Territory's most modern.
The building was dismantled in denver, shipped to the west
Coast, then placed aboard barges for whittier, Alaska. The contract for dismantling
and re-assembling the building was won by Sparling Steel Company of Seattle.

The new ESA Director, who is fluent in Spanish and has a master’s degree in education, will bring a breadth of expertise to the position.

left Thursday on a trip to Cuba, the United States and United Nations. Fernandez and Foreign Minister Carlos Morales Troncoso will first stop at the Nonaligned Movement summit in Havana. The president is scheduled to fly to Chicago on Sunday for meetings with politicians, academics and the Dominican community. He is expected to head to New York two days later to address the U.N. General Assembly. After stops in Philadelphia and Miami, Fernandez is to arrive back in the Caribbean country Sept.
NEW YORK -- A spring-break trip to Cuba taken by students and a teacher from a New York City public high school has raised concerns about whether the group violated U.S. travel restrictions to the communist country. "We are investigating," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Monday. A cityDepartment of Education spokesman said this month's trip to Cuba was not officially sanctioned by the Beacon School, though the school Web site featured a call for applications and a list of selected students, plus details of previous trips to the island.
BELFAST, Northern Ireland -- Northern Irish republican leader Gerry Adams confirmed Thursday that he will go ahead with a trip to Cuba, although it could potentially damage his Sinn Fein party's standing in the United States. "I have a longstanding commitment to go to Cuba, and I intend to go there," Adams said. He declined to give further details about the trip or say when it would take place, adding more information would be given out in due time.

also saw a means of providing a suitable but challenging screen role for the woman he was planning to marry, Marilyn Monroe. The project drew director John Huston plus actors Clark Gable, Montgomery Clift, Eli Wallach, and Kevin McCarthy, who arrived in Reno to what the San Francisco Chronicle reported as "gape jawed movie fans stacked twelve deep along the sidewalks in front of Harrah's Club in Reno."
The project was shot in sequence on existing locations including Harrah's in Reno and the former Mia's in Dayton. The stunning finale used a dry lakebed off Highway 50 near Stagecoach, now known as Misfits Flat. The sequence shows director John Huston's trademark skill with rugged location work, contributing to the film's eventual ranking as a classic. Horses running wild onan expanse of flat desert emphasize all the characters' fear of being reigned in as the Old West loses ground, though instead of herding horses for ranch and rodeo use, the cowboys sell them to the meat industry. The wild mustang, a classic symbol of the free West, has become dog food. Catching horses, says Gay, is "like ropin' a dream now."
Though the movie was a box-office disappointment, it has developed a mystique as the last completed film by Gable and Monroe. It has been listed in the National Film Registry, formed by Congress to preserve films deemed "culturally, historically, or esthetically important." The movie inspired a documentary, The Making of the Misfits, for PBS.

Mississippi among worst states for dams rated in bad shape

MERIDIAN, Miss. — Maybe it's in a subdivision in Olive Branch, on a hill above Interstate 20 in Meridian, or in rural Carroll County. But across Mississippi, there are dams waiting for one inch too much of rain, or one year too many of neglect.
The state has one of the highest numbers of dams that pose dangers and are in poor or unsatisfactory condition, according to a two-year investigation by The Associated Press. Many are owned by nearly broke rural drainage districts or were built as amenities in subdivisions andgovernments. Many of the rest are privately owned.
The threat is not only theoretical. Since the beginning of 2014, the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality has counted 42 dams that have failed. At least nine others have been drained, sometimes in face of imminent hazard.
Some failures have been very public, like when the Trace State Park Lake dam gave way in Pontotoc County in July 2015, leading officials to drain the lake. Fishermen and water skiers have been waiting on repairs since, even as problems were found with the main drainage pipe and more of the earthen dam collapsed.
In February 2016, a 130-foot-wide breach opened in a dam at Piney Woods School in Rankin County, sending a wall of water washing across U.S. 49 and sweeping at least two | {

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump will sign orders Tuesday to advance the construction of the Keystone XL and Dakota Access oil pipelines, a pair of projects that were blocked by the Obama administration due in part to environmental concerns.
Trump is to sign the orders Tuesday, according to a person with knowledge of the decision. The move is expected to be cheered by Republicans and some union groups who backed the projects.
Former President Barack Obama stopped the proposed Keystone XL pipeline in late 2015, declaring it would have undercut U.S. efforts to clinch a global climate change deal that was a centerpiece of his environmental legacy. The pipeline would run from Canada to U.S. refineries in the Gulf Coast. The U.S. government needed to approve the pipeline becauseIf Netanyahu insists on going through with this, he should wait until after the June 2011 elections, when the AKP will have little to gain from an apology.
Nearly seven months after the military operation on the high seas to block a Turkish vessel from reaching the Gaza Strip, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu may now issue an apology. His advisers support him. So does the White House. But if he follows through, Netanyahu will likely exacerbate a deepening diplomatic crisis with Turkey.
When IDF commandos intercepted the Mavi Marmara on May 31, weapons-wielding passengers attacked them as soon as they boarded. The clashes resulted in nine deaths – all Turks. The Turkish government soon demanded an apology. The Israelis insisted that the boat was full of violent Islamists who sought | {

Bordello and Gorlin in 1966 proposed cogent objection to this theory, saying the origin of this tumor from odontogenic tissue did not explain the occurrence of the tumor in the area other than the jawbone, normal development of the teeth in the area of the tumor, and because teeth were uniformly present in that area.

THOMASVILLE | HiToms president Greg Suire promised fans an up close and personal experience with the best amateur baseball players in the country over the weekend.
Team USA delivered.
Led by home-state heroes Carlos Rodon, Skye Bolt and Trea Turner, the USA National Collegiate Baseball Team played a two-game set against the HiToms at Finch Field. Team USA won both games — a 5-2 decision Saturday and a rain-soaked 3-2 nailbiter Sunday — but the games themselves took a backseat to thereal featured attraction. The players, many of whom will be selected early in next year's Major League draft, granted every autograph and picture request presented to them by the throngs of fans who came out for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The biggest crowds, of course, formed around Rodon, Turner and Bolt. Fans in recent weeks watched Rodon and Turner lead N.C. State to the College World Series, where they were eliminated by Bolt and North Carolina. And the trio was more than gracious, interacting with young fans for as long as necessary before and after each game.

Former captain Steve Smith's reputation has taken a battering, leaving his career in jeopardy, and the result was just the latest blow in a tumultuous 24 hours. Smith, suspended by the ICC for the final Test of the series starting in Johannesburg on Friday, won't be seen in a Test for Australia until October at the earliest – and it is unclear in what capacity. He did not exactly get a friendly send-off. Smith has received many a standing ovation in his spectacular ascendance to the summit of the Test arena. At Newlands on Sunday, the reception was of a very different kind. Loading Deposed as Australian captain less than six hours before, the 28-year-old walked to the middle of the ground at 4.12pm local time. He wasbooed from the moment he emerged at the top of the stairs beneath the players' balcony until he arrived to take strike.
When, a mere 29 minutes and seven runs later, he made the same journey back, there was more of the same. David Warner and Cameron Bancroft, the other Australian players tied up in the scandalous ball-tampering affair, were also received with hostility by the crowd and given rough goodbyes from spectators as they walked up the stairs to the dressing room after scores of 32 and 26 respectively. However, most of the attention was saved for Smith, who, after enduring the humiliation of standing aside from the Australian leadership, also completed his worst series as a Test batsman since his debut in 2010.

Football Ground and Stadium Shares
There are countless cities around the world that accommodate more than one football club within their boundaries. Head to the city of Liverpool, for example, and you’ll find yourself in the most successful city in England, with Liverpool Football Club and Everton having won 27 top-flight titles between them. Yet the chances of landing within a city that sees two of those clubs sharing a ground are surprisingly thin, all things considered.
So why do some clubs end up sharing a stadium? Is it always league clubs that share ground, or are some international clubs involved in it too? What are the best examples of shared stadiums? Perhaps most importantly of all, what does the future hold when it comes to different football clubs sharingMilan as Internazionale played their home games at the Arena Civica. They became joint tenants of the property in 1947 and have remained there ever since. Plenty of stadia in Italy are designed to be multi-purpose venues, so the San Siro stands out because it was specifically built with football as a spectator sport in mind.
The largest sports facility in all of Rome, the Stadio Olimpico is home to both SS Lazio and AS Roma. Interestingly it is also used as the main venue for the Italian national football team and the nation’s rugby team. It is held in such regard as a stadium that it’s also where the Coppa Italia final is held every year. Early in 2017 it was confirmed that Roma would be building themselves | {

Multiple cities—from Washington, DC to Toronto to Milwaukee—smashed temperature records this week, as a record February warm spell continues to spread across the U.S.
Nearly 3,000 daily maximum temperature records were set during the first half of the month. During the past week, 736 record highs were set with no record lows recorded. Thursday, Falcon Dam, Texas recorded a (yet unverified) temperature of 107 F—the highest temperature ever recorded in the U.S. in February.
The unusually early spring weather is triggering a new type of guilt among the climate conscious: Both the Chicago Tribune and the Atlantic highlighted this week the bizarre mental calculus of enjoying warm weather that's a clear sign of a changing climate.

One day, my daughter (aged 7 at the time) came home from the local school very distressed. An older boy had beckoned her to him and then spat in her face whilst calling her hideous names. She was devastated and went and hid under a table in the classroom for the rest of the day. I was very distressed. I cooked dinner that night in tears. I was furious with that kid, how dare he.

According to the World Health Organization, there were 198 million cases of malaria worldwide in 2013, with over half a million people dying from the mosquito-borne illness. Researchers are trying to understand the history of the disease, and some articles have come out that has look at malaria in antiquity and the early modern periods. In a paper delivered last week at the Annual Meeting of the Medieval Academy of America, new insights have been offered on the disease in the early Middle Ages.
In his paper, ‘Malaria and Malaria-Like Disease in the Frankish Empire, c.450-950, Timothy Newfield examines over fifty references to illnesses which appear in Merovingian and Carolingian sources such as Gregory of Tours’ Historia Francorum. | {

MARDAN: The district government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s (KP) city Mardan has summoned an All Party Conference (APC) on Friday over the brutal rape and murder of a four-year-old girl.
According to details, the jirga of elders in the area has taken action by giving the government an ultimatum of 72 hours to arrest the culprits and launch an investigation against them.
Earlier, police personnel arrested as many as 20 suspicious people in a case pertaining to strangling a four-year-old child to death after raping her in Mardan.
The girl’s body was found three days ago after which her medical test was conducted that confirmed rape. However, her blood sample was also sent to a forensic laboratory in Lahore for further verification.

He remained active outside the band during Ultravox success. In 1982 he played acoustic and electronic percussion for Zaine Griff (album "Figvres") and Peter Godwin (single "Images of Heaven"). He and Hans Zimmer were a part of the backing band for a New Romantic singer Ronny on her London show in The Dominion. Ronny also participated in the Helden project, formed by Cann and Zimmer that year, which merged electronic, orchestral and classical influences. Helden were the first music project to play The London Planetarium in March 1983. They released a single "Holding on" (1983) and recorded an album called "Spies" which featured lots of guests (Zaine Griff, Eddie Maelovfrom Eddie & Sunshine, Brian Robertson from Thin Lizzy etc.). It remains unreleased.
In September 1984 Warren and Hans performed as guests (on drums and leyboards, respectively) on a concert by the popular Spanish band Mecano. Two songs from that show were released in 1985 on LP "En Concierto". Also in 1985 Cann produced a single for the eccentric singer Duffo, "Gonna Send the Boys Around", and took part in the Doctor Who charity single "Doctor in Distress".
Cann's last appearance with Ultravox was on Live Aid in July 1985. He was ousted from the band in 1986 after the disagreements arose with other band members who started to consider him a problem in the progress of the band (Cann wanted a fully programmed percussion sound while the others preferred | {

Lewis Hamilton said he had enjoyed playing the villain at the Italian Grand Prix after he took the lead of the Formula One world championship for the first time this season. The Mercedes driver was booed by a fiercely partisan crowd, desperate to see a Ferrari win at the Scuderia’s 70th anniversary race, as he revelled in a dominant victory.
Hamilton’s evident pleasure was understandable. His win, a run from pole to flag during which he barely put a wheel out of place, leaves him in front of his title rival, Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel, with seven races remaining. Vettel finished third, behind Hamilton’s team-mate Valtteri Bottas. | {

ineligible because they had failed to satisfy the three-meetings requirement. After the nomination meeting, a union member exhausted internal remedies and then, following the election in May 1997, filed a protest with the Secretary of Labor challenging the election on the ground, inter alia, that the three-meetings requirement was invalid. The Secretary thereafter brought suit against the union in the district court under the LMRDA, 29 U.S.C. § 482(b), which in substance empowers the court to provide equitable relief for violations of section 481, including its eligibility provision quoted above. Alleging such a violation, the Secretary sought to set aside the election.

The Security service is facing fresh accusations of involvement in the abuse of terrorism suspects after a British man was detained in Bangladesh and allegedly tortured while being questioned about his activities and associates in both countries.
Lawyers representing Gulam Mustafa, a 48-year-old Birmingham businessman, say there is evidence he has been severely mistreated since being arrested in the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, in mid-April.
The case appears to present an immediate challenge to a new government, and will give some insight into the manner in which it will deal with the growing number of allegations of collusion in foreign torture.

Shulz said the Geneva Conventions and the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhumane or Degrading Treatment legally bind the countries that have signed them to exercise "universal jurisdiction" on people suspected of violations. Certain crimes, including torture, amount to offenses against all of humanity so all countries have a responsibility to investigate and prosecute people responsible for such crimes, he said.
" Absurd " defence by US Administration !;
As expected , Scott McClellan, the White House press secretary, called the charges "unsupported by the facts."
President Bush said ata White House press conference ,"I'm aware of the Amnesty International report, and it's absurd. The United States is a country that promotes freedom around the world," he said, and added that Washington had "investigated every single complaint against [sic] the detainees." "It seemed like [Amnesty] based some of their decisions on the word and allegations by people who were held in detention, people who hate America, people [who] had been trained in some instances to disassemble [sic] - that means not tell the truth," Bush went on. "And so it was an absurd report. It just is." [Except that few in the world believe Bush]

"As Exxon CEO, Rex Tillerson did everything in his power to gut this law, because it doesn't suit big oil's corrupt business model," she continued. Now that he's secretary of State, Gilfillan added, "Congress has immediately sanctioned corruption by green lighting secret deals between oil companies and despots."
But as Gilfillan and others pointed out, the two-fold "gift to big oil" falls in line with the other egregious, pro-corporate, anti-environment steps taken by the Trump administration.
"Given the President's massive conflicts of interest and his administration's broad attacks on regulation, it appears our institutions are increasingly being abused to further the business interests of a powerful few," Gilfillan said. "This is how corrupt dictatorships start."

after the Defendants had been given written notice as provided for under Alabama law."
The defendants contend that their convictions cannot stand in light of the doctrines postulated in Wisconsin v. Yoder, 406 U.S. 205, 92 S.Ct. 1526, 32 L.Ed.2d 15 (1972). Basically, they argue that the state must permit them to educate their children at home as an incident of their right to freedom of religion as protected under the constitutions of the United States and the State of Alabama.
In Yoder, members of the Amish religion objected to the Wisconsin compulsory education law insofar as it required them to cause their children to attend school past the eighth grade. They believed, in accordance with the well established tenets of the Old Order Amish religion, that sending their childrento public high school would endanger the salvation of both the parents and their children. This danger lay in the strongly held and time honored central belief of the Amish faith that salvation requires life in a church community totally separate and apart from the outside world and its influence.
In reversing the convictions of the Amish parents in Yoder, the United States Supreme Court employed a balancing test.
"The court weighed the concededly valid interest of the state in imposing reasonable regulations for the control and duration of basic education against the fundamental rights asserted by the Amish to freely exercise their religion and to direct their children's religious upbringing. The court concluded that the Amish parents had convincingly demonstrated the sincerity of their religious beliefs, the interrelationship of | {

From the accompanying photo description:
On a frosty day, peasants cluster on a remote country lane to dig at the ice caking roads and streams so they can access the mud underneath.
Mud is valuable as a fertiliser. Throughout the seasons, piles of mud and even human manure will be applied onto fields in order to make the crops grow better.

An officer questioned the defendant on his contact with the deceased on that day. The officer did not issue the Miranda warnings. The questioning was close and intense. The interrogating officer scrutinized the defendant's answers, comparing the responses to other evidence, and pointing out inconsistencies.
One-third of the way through this interrogation, one of the officers noted a spot of blood on the defendant's sneaker. The defendant stated that the blood came from a cut on his finger. The officers inspected the shoe, and remarked that its | {

There are two clips Louis van Gaal should show his United players ahead of Sunday's game.
One is of Arsenal's jubilant players celebrating in front of Old Trafford 's south-east corner after accomplishing their domestic double win in 2002 and the other is of United giving newly-crowned champions Chelsea a guard of honour in 2005.
Gary Neville looked like a resident clapping burglars into his living room that night but Leicester winning the league in United's own back yard would be more humiliating. Not just due to their size or the clubs' financial chasm, or how humiliatingly it would underline United's own demise,was the aftermath; the defeat established Van Gaal's sterile style.
At Leicester, United started with an attacking quartet of Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie, Angel di Maria and Radamel Falcao. They looked so formidable they appeared intent on inflicting a record defeat on Leicester but, due to a combination of Rafael da Silva's impetuousness, Vardy's theatrics and referee Mark Clattenburg's ineptitude, United wilted and sieved five goals.
Di Maria, who decorated the game with his elegant chip, never played that well again in red. Had Falcao not struck his half-volley so forcefully , he would have claimed an ingenious strike on his full debut and would have surely scored more than four United goals.
Instead, the pair began to flounder in an attack suffering an identity crisis, while another South American | {

(I regret having repeated, in early versions of this essay, a variant of Time's baseless account, working from a BBC World News story that had been likewise lead astray by the deeply dishonest, dishonorable, and unethical Time piece. By contrast, my profound thanks to Der Spiegel's Berlin bureau chief Stefan Berg for correcting the Henry Luce rag's misdeed in 2009, after Ratjen had been maligned once again in supposedly "based on a true story" movie Berlin '36, once again based on Time's fishwrap-reject article.)
In any event, following thethe 1968 Grenoble Winter Games, Austrian skier Erika Schinegger was genetically tested, determined to be XY, and disqualified.

Maria's competitive eligibility was reinstated. but only in 1988, long past her prime as a runner. Ewa retired, married, and gave birth to a son.

‘I strongly suspect it will lead to a legal challenge.’ Kate Hudson of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament said it was an extra-judicial killing.
Another British fanatic, Junaid Hussain, from Birmingham was killed by a US drone strike late last month
The Prime Minister said he would stick to his pledge to hold a Commons vote – probably next month – before ordering the RAF to conduct bombing raids against Islamic State terrorists in Syria.
‘I believe that case only grows stronger with the growing number of terrorist plots being directed or inspired by IS’s core leadership in Raqqah,’ he added.
But Michael Clarke, of the Royal United Services Institute, a think-tank, said Mr Cameron appeared to be trying to ‘log-roll a controversial issue through Parliament’ by wrapping it up with thehigh-profile case involving Khan.
Professor Clarke warned the strategy could backfire because of anger caused by the drone strike.
Lord McDonald, the former director of public prosecutions, said the killing of Khan was legal and justified. He said: ‘It is appropriate to invoke the principle of self-defence and to target him.
Khan, who was previously a straight A student in Cardiff, became a poster boy for ISIS when he appeared in a propaganda video entitled 'There Is No Life Without Jihad' in June last year, urging Westerners to join the war.

New Zealand family-friendly travel guide
About New Zealand
Located in the South Pacific Ocean, around 1,600 kilometres off the East Coast of Australia, New Zealand is made up of two main islands, North and South, and hundreds of smaller islands, most of which are uninhabited. From the rugged coastlines, sandy beaches and ancient forests of the North Island to the snow capped mountains and fjords of the South Island, New Zealand is renowned for its stunning and diverse natural scenery, attracting travellers from all over the world. Its cosmopolitan cities such as Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch provide families with plenty to see and do, while smaller towns offer an authentically local ‘Kiwi’ experience.
Auckland
Often referred to as the “City of Sails”, Auckland is a beautiful and lively harbour city, offering ahost of excellent hotels, restaurants, shops and attractions. Visit the 328-metre Sky Tower, where you can enjoy lunch or dinner in the city’s only revolving restaurant, enjoy magnificent views from the observation deck, climb to the top of the radio tower, and if you dare, bungy jump off the side.

Britain's decision to leave the European Union has opened up a "new panorama" on the status of Gibraltar, according to a senior Spanish minister, who called on Britain to enter negotiations on joint sovereignty.
The small peninsula off the south coast of Spain, a British Overseas Territory since 1713 and known to its 30,000 residents as "the Rock", is a major point of contention in Anglo-Spanish relations.
Shortly after the referendum result was confirmed, José Manuel García-Margallo, the Spanish foreign minister, told a national radio station: "It's a complete change of outlook that opens up new possibilities on Gibraltar not seen for a very long time. I hope the formula of co-sovereignity - to be clear, the Spanish flag on the Rock - is much closer than before," he said.
Spainpasses its target, Starwisp probes might be mass-produced and launched by the maser every few days. In this manner, a continuous stream of data could be collected about distant solar systems even though any given Starwisp probe only spends a few days travelling through it. Alternatively, the launching transmitter could be used in the interim to transmit power to Earth for commercial use, as with a solar power satellite.
Possible methods of fabrication
Constructing such a delicate probe would be a significant challenge. One proposed method would be to "paint" the probe and its circuitry onto an enormous sheet of plastic which degrades when exposed to ultraviolet light, and then wait for the sheet to evaporate away under the assault of solar UV after it has been deployed in space.

Mother Teresa in 2003
There are others like Miami-based Hemley Gonzalez, who worked as a volunteer in one of Teresa's homes for the poor in Kolkata for two months in 2008, and was "shocked to discover the horrifically negligent manner in which this charity operates and the direct contradiction of the public's general understanding of their work".
Questioning miracles
"Standing firm against planned parenthood, modernisation of equipment, and a myriad of other solution-based initiatives, Mother Teresa was not a friend of the poor but rather a promoter of poverty," Mr Gonzalez told me. Today, he runs a Facebook page criticising the nun and to educate "unsuspecting donors" to the sisterhood.
In recent years, Indian rationalists like Sanal Edamaruku have questioned the miracles that have led to the nun's sainthood.
To become a saintin the eyes of the Vatican, a miracle needs to be attributed to prayers made to the individual after their death. Incidents need to be "verified" by evidence before they are accepted as miracles. Often they are cures and recoveries from illnesses which have no logical medical explanation.

Wilma, the daughter of S.R. and Floy (Eaton) Beukema, was born Nov. 25, 1925, in Newton. She was a graduate of the Newton Senior High, Class of 1943. She attended Normal Training at Central College, and taught rural school for five years.
On Nov. 29, 1947, Wilma was united in marriage with Alfred G. Sleeuwenhoek in Grinnell. A lifelong resident of the Newton area, she was living at Newton Village. Wilma devoted her life to her family, and was ahim not to incriminate himself.
Bonds is blaming the media, of course. If he recovers from his knee problems and loses this year's contest, he'll probably blame Larry King.
The only useful thing a Home Run Derby would provide is fresh joke material. Instead of the AL vs. NL, all-star teams could be called Cream and Clear. The winner would get the home-field advantage in the World Series of Acne.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — A tight-end for the Minnesota Vikings says he was scammed by a media member Sunday after the Vikings took down the New Orleans Saints.
Kyle Rudolph was in the locker room after Sunday's game when a media member approached him and asked him for his gloves. The media member claimed he wanted the gloves for a charity benefit.
According to Rudolph's Twitter page, he told the media member "of course" and even offered to sign them.
Three days later, Rudolph saw that the gloves had been sold on eBay and were in fact NOT for a charity benefit.
Fans tweeted to Rudolph to tell him what happened and he took to Twitter to share the whole story.

Cedrick Chatman died after being shot four times by police on Jan. 9, 2013. View Full Caption Linda Chatman
CHICAGO — After the release of a video showing the police shooting of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald sent the city into a frenzy, Mayor Rahm Emanuel offered a public apology for the city's slow response, promising in a Dec. 9 speech to the City Council "nothing less than complete and total reform of the system."
While Emanuel spoke, five blocks away at the Dirksen federal building, city attorneys were persuading a judge to keep videos of another police shooting under wraps.
Cedrick Chatman, 17, was shot dead by police while he ran, unarmed, in the opposite direction of officers, lawyers for the slain teen's family said — and they say videos prove it.
Nearlythree years after the shooting, the officer who pulled the trigger hasn't been disciplined, and Chatman's family is battling the city with a wrongful death lawsuit.
The tense, back-and-forth legal saga surrounding Chatman's death reached a new chapter Dec. 23, when city-appointed attorneys representing the officer filed yet another motion to delay the video's release. After admitting that the video is bound to be released eventually, city officials sought to keep it away from the public for now "to avoid any prejudice of the jury pool," according to the motion.
At the Dec. 9 hearing, presiding Judge Robert Gettlemen suggested he'd likely call for the video's release in January, saying "there really is no reason to wait," according to the Chicago Tribune.

Since the Copyright Office has no record of any registration prior to 2000, the evidence is clear that any copyrights secured in those ten published works were not timely renewed. Accordingly, those ten works are in the public domain, even if they had been first published with adequate notice of copyright.
Commissioned Works
A preponderance of the credible evidence shows that prior to 1956, Martha Graham was commissioned to create seven dances by a number of renowned musical and cultural organizations and that these dances were first performed between 1944 and 1953. The seven dances are: Herodiade, Appalachian Spring, Dark Meadow, Cave of the Heart, Night Journey, Judith (created in 1950), and Canticle for Innocent Comedians.
Of the seven commissioned dances, four,60 S.Ct. 131, 84 L.Ed. 499 (1939), the Second Circuit held that since Adolf Hitler "did not himself take out the copyright" in the book he had authored, "there was no need of a formal assignment by him" to the publishers of the book. Id. The court held that "mere delivery of the manuscript was sufficient" to show that the copyright in the manuscript had been assigned to the publishers. Id.
In January of 1957, Graham gave all her theatrical properties to the defendants, but the document conveying these properties did not mention the copyright in the choreographic works.

Photograph of Battleship Row taken from a Japanese plane at the beginning of the attack. The explosion in the center is a torpedo strike on USS West Virginia. Two attacking Japanese planes can be seen: one over USS Neosho and one over the Naval Yard.
The attack commenced at 7:48 a.m. Hawaiian Time (18:18 UTC).[14] The base was attacked by 353[15] Imperial Japanese aircraft (including fighters, level and dive bombers, and torpedo bombers) in two waves, launched from six aircraft carriers.[15] All eight U.S. Navy battleships were damaged, with four sunk. All but the USS Arizona were later raised, and six were returned to service and went on to fight in the war. The Japanese also sank or damaged three cruisers, three destroyers, an anti-aircraft training ship,[nb 4] andone minelayer. 188 U.S. aircraft were destroyed; 2,403 Americans were killed and 1,178 others were wounded.[17] Important base installations such as the power station, dry dock, shipyard, maintenance, and fuel and torpedo storage facilities, as well as the submarine piers and headquarters building (also home of the intelligence section), were not attacked. Japanese losses were light: 29 aircraft and five midget submarines lost, and 64 servicemen killed. One Japanese sailor, Kazuo Sakamaki, was captured.
There were numerous historical precedents for unannounced military action by Japan, but the lack of any formal warning, particularly while negotiations were still apparently ongoing, led President Franklin D. Roosevelt to proclaim December 7, 1941, "a date which will live in infamy". Because the attack happened without a declaration of war and without explicit warning, | {

‘if appropriate’. But Michele Sibony, of the Jewish Union for Peace, said: ‘By outlawing free speech by pro-Palestinian demonstrators, France puts itself in a unique position in the world and Europe.’
And Youssef Boussoumah, of the Party of the Indigenous of the Republic (PIR) said: ‘France is criminalising any show of solidarity with the Palestinian people.
‘This is an absolute outrage, it is a continuation of attempts to muzzle the Palestinian people and to get them and their supporters in France to surrender absolutely to Israel's oppression.’
Sylvie Perrot, another pro-Palestine activist from Paris, said: ‘Fascist states stop people demonstrating against wars – it is beyond belief that French Socialists are following their example.’
There were false claims made last week that synagogues in Paris had been targeted by pro-Palestinian demonstrators. Infact videos showed armed vigilantes from a group called the Jewish Defence League (LDJ) baiting demonstrators into fights.
There were no arrests among the LDJ, despite them fighting and smashing up property in full view of the police. Six pro-Palestine protestors were arrested for a variety of public order offences, but none had been anywhere near Paris synagogues, which remained undamaged.
A judicial enquiry is set to be launched into the false allegations made about the synagogue attacks – ones which people claim were made up to demonise supporters of Palestine by associating them with anti-Semitism. | {

The Golden State Warriors were desperate at halftime of Game 6 of the Western Conference finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
When forward Andre Iguodala started the second half in Oklahoma City, few questioned the ploy. It was a slightly surprising move, but not a controversial one. Iguodala is one of the five best players on this team, after all, and a key member of Golden State's famed "Death Lineup."
With the switch, the Warriors snagged their first second-half lead in Chesapeake Energy Arena since Stephen Curry's famous 37-foot game winner on Feb. 27. They quickly lost their advantage Saturday, but they eventually wrenched it back in crunch time, thanks in large part to Iguodala's defense on Kevin Durant.
Andre Iguodala got a surprise start in the second half of GameIguodala in his role is that he's needed to buoy the bench -- and it's a bench Kerr believes in. Kerr's slogan for his team is "Strength in Numbers," meaning that almost everyone has a role, and almost everyone feels invested.
In this paradigm, Iguodala operates almost as the bench's connective tissue, someone who animates players whose talents aren't as multifaceted as his own. More than that, he's a coach on the floor, getting his reserves into their proper places throughout the game.
So, while Iguodala might be a better overall player than Harrison Barnes, he's also better-suited to helping solidify the second unit. That's the theory, anyway, and it's a foundational one in this operation.
Kerr's big move upon taking over was shifting Iguodala to the bench. It's also why | {
