Danish driver Allan Simonsen died following a crash at the 24 Hours of Le Mans on Saturday in the first driver fatality at the high-speed endurance event since 1997.

Race organizers said the 34-year-old Simonsen was taken to the hospital after his Aston Martin No. 95 crashed about 10 minutes after the start of the race. The car spun at high speed and skidded into the barrier at the Tertre Rouge corner where speeds reach up to 105 mph.

The violence of the impact showed as a tire from Simonsen's car rolled on the track while a door hung open.

Simonsen died at the hospital soon after arrival "due to his injuries," organizers said.

"Tragically, and despite the best efforts of the emergency services in attendance, Allan's injuries proved fatal," Aston MartinRacing said in a statement on its website.

Sebastien Enjolras lost his life in pre-qualifying in 1997. The last driver fatality in the 24-hour race itself was Jo Gartner in 1986.

The worst crash in Le Mans history occurred in 1955 when Pierre Levegh's Mercedes flew into the crowd, killing more than 80 spectators.

Aston Martin, which has five Vantage V8 cars in the GTE-Pro and GTE-Am classes, will continue in the race "at the specific request" of Simonsen's family and in tribute to the driver.

"I would like to extend our deepest sympathies and condolences to the individuals, and families whose friends or loved ones were involved in today's terrible tragedy," Aston Martin Racing managing director John Gaw said.

The safety car came out after the crash and the race was held


up for nearly an hour to repair the guard rail.

Simonsen was participating for the seventh time at the endurance race, which is won by the team that completes the most laps in 24 hours with up to three drivers alternating. He finished second in the GT2 class at Le Mans three years ago. He clocked the fastest time in qualifying on Thursday in the GTE-Am class.

Jean Todt, the FIA president, and Pierre Fillon, president of Le Mans organizer the Automobile Club de l'Ouest, paid tribute to Simonsen.

"Allan was an extremely talented and experienced sports car driver who had raced in every corner of the world and was highly respected by his peers and his team," they said in a joint statement. "For many in endurance racing, Allan wasabove all a good friend who displayed his passion for racing on and off the track. His loss will be felt by the FIA, the ACO and the greater motorsport family."

Simonsen and Danish co-drivers Kristian Poulsen and Christoffer Nygaard were leading the GTE-Am class in the world endurance championship after topping their category at Silverstone in April and finishing second in Spa-Francorchamps last month.

Audi held the top three spots after the sixth hour, followed by two Toyotas.

IndyCar series leader Helio Castroneves tweeted: "Very sad to know about the fatal accident of Allan Simonsen on Le Mans today. Praying for him and (his) family."

Tony Kanaan, another IndayCar driver, tweeted: "Such a tragic news on the passing of (at)AllanSimonsen. Sad day in motorsports again. Thoughts and prayers are with his


family."

There was second driver death on Saturday, in Germany. Two-time champion Wolf Silvester died because of "health problems" during the German VLN Endurance Racing Championship, race organizers said.

Safety marshalls said Silvester, 55, apparently lost control of his Opel Astra OPC, and when they approached the stopped car on the track they found him sitting motionless in the seat. The dpa news agency reported that Silvester had a heart attack.the form of a recess which intersects a surface of the base which abuts against a surface of the cover of the closure. A rubber insert is provided with one or more central apertures into which a cable can be inserted. The rubber insert is then introduced into the recess, where it contacts the walls of the recess and corresponding parts of the cover and an O-ring gasket which seals between the base and the cover. The insert has a flat peripheral surface at the point at which it comes into contact with the gasket. A slot may be provided in the insert to allow it to be opened to insert a cable laterally into the central aperture. A similar system is also disclosed in European patent application


The latest film in the Star Wars saga is set to introduce many new characters in the war between The Resistance and the First Order, and some details about some key characters just released.

Popular card game Top Trumps released a new set based on Star Wars: The Last Jedi, with some cards revealing information about some of the movie's new additions, such as Rose Tico's sister and ace pilot Paige.

It also has information on the A-Wing pilot known as Tallie Lintra and another bomber known as Nix.

For Paige, the card reveals the following information:

Resistance gunner for Cobalt Squadron, Paige has the nerves of steel required to target point defense cannons and incoming enemy starfighters that harass her hefty bomber during crucial runs.

Tallie's entry in the card game reads:

Askilled A-Wing pilot fighting for the Resistance, Tallie must escort bombers to keep enemy ships off them until they are in position to drop their explosive payloads.

And Nix's profile states:

Within the cramped innards of the Resistance Cobalt bomber, Nix attends the bomb release trigger ready to drop the vessel's explosive payload onto First Order targets.

These same characters are likely to play a major role in Elizabeth Wein's novel for Star Wars: The Last Jedi titled Cobalt Squadron.

It remains to be seen how much of an impact these characters will have in the film, though Tallie and Paige already have their own action figures on sale in stores. Paige will also be featured in a comic book with Rose that's set to release after Star Wars: The Last Jedi


UV lagged the optical. The [*STIS*]{} showed that longer FUV wavelengths changed much faster and manifested the flux sooner than shorter wavelengths. It has been found that the temperature of the accreting star can be raised by as much as 50% during outburst. The elevated WD temperature returns to its quiescence value soon after the outburst. The elevated surface temperature of the star may, therefore, be a good diagnostic of the energy dissipated as the accretion stream impacts, spreads out and slows down and reaches co-rotation with the star. The rate at which the WD cools following the heating during the outburst is not only diagnostic of the mass/depth of the heated surface layers but also potentially a good diagnostic of the optical depth of the accreted material.Q:

The largest African elephant weighed 13.5 tons (27,000 pounds) The world record holder weighed this much and stood 13ft/4m tall at the shoulder. There are other species of elephants, namely the Asian and the Indian, but they are much smaller than the African. The African elephant is the king among the giants on land. No other land animal comes close to the size of these creatures. It would take 165 full-grown men to make up the same weight as the world's record African elephant. The noise of an elephant digesting its food (when its tummy's growling) can be heard up to 600ft/183m away. Elephants actually have control over their digestive processes because they are able to stop the sounds of digestion when they sense danger.

RICS exhibition celebrates 150 years of surveying

We have opened an exhibition to celebrate our 150th anniversary, as well as the significant contribution the surveying profession has made to local communities and the wider built environment over the past 150 years.

Shaping the World, Building the Future

The exhibition – known as ‘Shaping the World, Building the Future’ – was officially opened by RICS President, John Hughes FRICS and Sean Tompkins, RICS CEO (on 11 January) at RICS headquarters on Parliament Square, London.

The exhibition will run throughout 2018, and highlights include a replica Penfold Post box designed by founding professional of RICS and the organisation’s first Honourable Secretary, John Wornham Penfold. The Penfold Post Box was the inspiration for the cartoon series, Danger Mouse and


his sidekick Penfold.

Meanwhile, a multi-volume Dutch world atlas - the Blaeu, Atlas Major - dated 1662 is on show comprising 594 maps, which collectively presented the state of geographic knowledge of the world in the mid-17th century.

Other highlights

A model of the Great Theodolite used by surveyor, Colonel Sir George Everest around 1830 to measure the height of the highest mountain in the world, which now bears his name (Everest) is also being exhibited, along with a measurement book used by RICS professional, Colonel Alan R Mais for his work on the hydrographic survey of the Mulberry Harbours in Normandy. The Colonel took the measurement book on shore by him at the D-day landings in 1944.

A lego model of the RICS headquarters - which took over 150 hours tobuild and 13,000 miniature bricks to construct – as well as an intricate model of the Olympic Village, are on display, joined by a 3D model of the City of London. Both showcase the integral contribution surveyors have made, and continue to make, to the built environment.

Key facts about the lego build

It took 150 hours to design and build

13,000 lego bricks were used

It is 80cm x 60cm (and 60cm high)

Lighting effect was achieved using tracing paper behind the windows and LED fairy light strings inside

Watch: Building the exhibition

Watch what it takes to transform a historic library into an exhibition space which celebrates the 150 years of RICS and the ground-breaking work of surveyors around the world.

that pasta and pizza you will be eating) because it has some of the best preserved frescoes still visible at the site of Pompeii. Now I said Pompeii was left perfectly preserved and it was, until archaeologists discovered it in the eighteenth century and after that bits of Pompeii began to disappear. Frescoes and statues disappeared into the king’s home, marble was taken to decorate the king’s palace and then later a lot of it ended up in the museum, which I will talk about. So in terms of decoration a lot of it is now in the museum but the Villa of the Mysteries has some astoundingly well preserved frescoes showing the people taking part in the mystery cult of Dionysus. With the Villa of the Mysteriesyou can really start to see what Pompeii would have looked like right before it was buried.

2. The Amphitheater, the Theater and Odeon
These buildings were huge public buildings that were built for the people of Pompeii by wealthy citizens looking to win elections. Huge public buildings were often times funded by politicians looking for “support” in the ancient world and these three buildings in Pompeii are no different. The Theater and Odeon are located quite close to one of the entrances to the site of Pompeii and are usually the first thing visitors see. The Theater was a huge public theater where plays were put on for the people of Pompeii and you can pretty


much explore the whole thing. If you head up to the top of the theater be sure to check out the original marble seats and you can actually see the seats were marked into the marble and numbered as well. The whole theater was originally full of marble seats but a lot of it was plundered for the king’s palace in the eighteenth century.

Entrance into the theater

The Marble Seats

The Odeon is smaller than the theater and located just off to the right of it. It was used to hold intimate musical performances and is named after the Greek theater for musical performances. The Odeon at Pompeii has been preserved remarkably well and you can see all the original marble and the original box seats as well. Also don’tforget to check out the acoustic sweet spot in both theaters and you can tell that even at the way top all the performers would have been heard clearly.

The Amphitheater is located a bit away from the main city but that didn’t stop the people of Pompeii from heading there because this is where all the gladiatorial events took place. This amphitheater was one of the earlier stone amphitheaters built and it was even constructed about a hundred years before the Coliseum (the Coliseum was still being built when Mt. Vesuvius erupted in 79AD). Gladiator games really started down in Campania (the region Pompeii is located in) and were insanely popular. They also had all the major gladiator barracks of the empire down here as well and this


NiP have started off their run in Odense with a victory over OpTic, while Misfits have picked up their second win after stunning North.

In the first official match against his former team, Adam "friberg" Friberg led OpTic to start things off on the right foot, winning the CT pistol and the following anti-eco. However, a third-round buy from NiP opened up a way for the Swedes to pick up a 5-2 lead.

The European mixture would not back down, and went on to equalize things off. Despite their economy getting reset, Richard "Xizt" Landström's men almost pulled off the 11th round with nothing but pistols. Still, NiP would only be able to win the penultimate round of the half, which they could not follow up because of Emil "Magisk"Reif finding four enemies to secure a 9-6 half-time lead for his side.

NiP survive OpTic test

The Swedish team responded with the second pistol win to tie up the score, and with the first gun round to get back to the lead. Nevertheless, OpTic levelled it up once again thanks to a successful B execution in an eco round.

After losing the following round, OpTic replied with two successful strategies to reset their opponents' economy, earning themselves room to pick up a 13-11 lead. After that, however, NiP kept winning rounds, eventually hitting match-point with an ace from William "draken" Sundin.

Despite OpTic finding a lifeline by winning the 29th round, NiP went on to close out the map with Xizt denying Kevin "HS" Tarn from clutching a 1v3 situation.

The owner of a business next to a Winnipeg heritage building severely damaged by fire over the weekend said a blaze was inevitable because squatters routinely break into the vacant structure.

Firefighters spent 10 hours early Sunday dousing a fire at the 110-year-old Keewayden Block, a seven-storey structure also known as the Jacob-Crowley Building, which sits less than a block east of Portage and Main, near the Fairmont Hotel and Shaw Park.

The fire engulfed the building's roof, partly collapsed its elevator shaft and moved into the block's basement, the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service said. The cause of the fire has yet to be determined.

Leslie Bester, who runs an internet, phone and data-centre company in a building next to the damaged block, said he's witnessed people who are not constructionWestbrook here," Bester said.

"I would have been surprised if it didn't burn by spring. I was expecting it."

Les Bester, who took it upon himself to board up a window in the vacant Keewayden Block said he feared a fire would strike the building after seeing people climb its scaffolding 'every day.' (Tyson Koschik/CBC)

According to the city, the Keewayden Block is not abandoned. City property inspectors have visited the building four times since June 2018 to inspect progress on two separate work permits, city spokesperson Kalen Qually said in a statement.

"As of the most recent inspection in April 2019, interior demolition remained in progress," Qually said.

The block was undergoing a conversion into a hotel.

Bester said he has not seen any substantive work take place at the block since late


2018. He said complaints led workers to attempt to restrict access to the scaffolding and ladders at the rear of the building, but the barriers are easily bypassed.

"There's people climbing these buildings every day actually. Like, literally every day," said Bester, who has placed a series of security cameras on his building.

Hours before the fire began, one of those cameras captured an image of someone ascending the building, he said.

Bester said anyone who wants to access the scaffolding at the rear of the Keewayden Block need only to slip between these plywood boards. (Tyson Koschik/CBC)

The block, completed in 1909, was added to the City of Winnipeg's list of heritage resources in 2017.

At the time, a company called No. 16 Hospitality Ltd. was converting the building into a HyattWinnipeg executive director Cindy Tugwell said she was unaware the project had slowed. The fire took her by surprise, she said.

"That's why we hate vacant buildings. They're sitting ducks for this kind of stuff," said Cindy Tugwell, executive director of Heritage Winnipeg.

The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service was slated to return on the hour Sunday evening "to ensure hot spots remain extinguished and there's no remaining risk at the site," Qually said.

Jason Shaw from the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service describes the scene:

Firefighters were called to the building under renovation at 138 Portage Avenue East just after 2:30 a.m. where they found heavy flames pouring out of the roof. 1:13

Bester said he believes the city could have been more proactive in preventing the blaze.

Despite the Government’s best efforts to encourage the civilians in
the north out of the battle zone, the LTTE is continuing to use them as
a human shield risking the lives of the Tamil people, Prime Minister
Ratnasiri Wickramanayaka said in Bangkok on Wednesday.

Prime Minister
Wickramanayaka

Thai Prime Minister
Vejjajiva

Wickramanayaka was briefing Thailand’s Prime Minister Abhisit
Vejjajiva who inquired about the current situation in Sri Lanka during a
courtesy call paid by him.

Prime Minister Wickramanayaka was on a five-day private visit to
Thailand to attend the Magha Pucha Day, an important day in the Buddhist
calendar in Thailand at the Wat Phara Dhammakaya Temple at Pathuvithani.

Wickramanayaka said during the last 30 years, successive Governments
have negotiated with the LTTE to reach a durable solution. These
negotiations were of no avail as the LTTE deliberately stymied every
attempt at settlement.

Even the presentGovernment entered into negotiations but once more
the Tigers undermined the attempts at a political settlement, he said.

“It was only when this attempt at negotiating a solution was
undermined that the Government decided on a course to eradicate
terrorism,” the Prime Minister said.

“Today the terrorists are confined to a narrow area that is
continuously shrinking. The civilians in the area who wish to get away
from the LTTE are forcibly prevented from doing so.

Despite the LTTE’s deliberate policy of exposing the Tamil civilians
to the dangers of war, people are anxious to get out into the
Government-controlled areas. One day, last week some 5,000 civilians
crossed over to the Government side,” Wickramanayaka told his Thai
counterpart.

He said even during the years of the war, the Government continued to
provide food, medical and other supplies to the civilian population


in
the LTTE controlled areas. However, much of these supplies did not reach
the civilian population as intended as they were seized by the LTTE and
used for their own needs.

Prime Minister Wickramanayaka said the Government intends to
establish a Provincial Council in the North as it did in the other
liberated areas in the country’s East where the people were allowed to
elect their own representatives using their franchise.

He said the people of the North would have this opportunity and so
they too will be able to enjoy the same facilities as available in the
South of the country.

He said the doors would be open for development and there would be
investment opportunities.

Earlier, Prime Minister Wickramanayaka recalled the strong religious
ties between Sri Lanka and Thailand that have existed for centuries. He
congratulated the Thai people for theirexcellent organizational skills
as exemplified by the religious ceremonies at the Temple and attended by
several thousands.

Thai Prime Minister Vejjajiva recalled that every year a member of
the Thai Royal family visits Sri Lanka to attend the annual Katina
pinkama at the Dipaduttamaramaya in Colombo.

Wickramanayaka drew attention to the proposed construction of a
Buddhist Zone in Sri Lanka where all the Buddhist countries will be
invited to set up their own shrines according to their architectural
styles and requirements.

Prime Minister Wickramanayaka was accompanied on his call to his Thai
counterpart by Mahinda Bandusena, Secretary to the Prime Minister; G.
Wijayasiri, Foreign Affairs Consultant to the Prime Minister; Jayaratna
Banda Disanayake, Sri Lankan Ambassador to Thailand and embassy
officials.

Prime Minister Vejjajiva was assisted by Pisanu Chanvitan, Director-
General (South Asia, Middle East and African Affairs) of the Foreign
Ministry.

Appleby railway station was a rural railway station between the towns of Richmond and Hope in the Tasman district of New Zealand’s South Island, and was located on State Highway 60, otherwise known as Appleby Highway.  The settlement of Appleby was actually located some distance from the railway, but Appleby station was the closest station to its namesake settlement.  It was one of 25 stations on the Nelson Section, and existed from 1876 to 1955.

Facilities at this station included a small wooden passenger shelter, a goods shed and a siding to serve it.

T HE SLEEK offices of NetEase in Hangzhou, a traffic-clogged city in eastern China, seem an unlikely place to find a farmer. Yet the video-gaming company also runs a pig-rearing division. Ni Jinde launched Weiyang, its swine affiliate, almost a decade ago, after a stint in its financial team. At a state-of-the-art farm in nearby Anji county, Mr Ni oversees the rearing and slaughter of 20,000 organic free-range hogs a year, with the aid of tracking sensors, big-data analysis and soothing music. A second farm, to open in December, will raise another 150,000.

NetEase has become part of a gigantic agricultural venture. China’s 430m porkers account for over half of the world’s herd, and its $1trn industry produces more pork than any other country. Yet pig-rearing remains remarkably inefficient.Q&A with James McAvoy

positioned close to a screen consisting of a mosaic of different colored light-emitting phosphor elements. As is well known, the shadow mask apertures shield or "shadow" each color deposit from beams from two of the three electron guns, allowing it to be impacted only by the beam from its associated gun. Thus (ideally) the "red" beam only strikes the red phosphor deposits, the "blue" beam only the blue deposits and the "green" beam only the green deposits.

Donald Trump does not take well to impersonations. Remember his whining tweet about Alec Baldwin on SNL? But a hunch says the next President of the United States won't be so terribly upset by xHamster's plan to cast its own Donald Trump porn impersonator. In fact, the next President of the United States, who has had at least one prior interaction with the adult entertainment industry—exclusively soft core, of course—might be honored.

The porn site just put out its call for the next President of Porn, requesting impersonators send in non-sexual videos in character. The submissions will be voted on, and the winner will be announced before Trump's very first State of the Union. xHamster will also cast a Trump cabinet, Trump family, and Trump Supreme Court nominations, whichIsraeli divers chance upon 'priceless' treasure on seabed Published duration 18 February 2015

image copyright EPA/CLARA AMIT/ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITY image caption The coins did not require any cleaning before being displayed, the Israeli Antiquities Authority said

Scuba divers have inadvertently discovered the largest trove of gold coins ever found off Israel's Mediterranean coast.

About 2,000 pieces dating back more than 1,000 years were spotted on the seabed by members of a diving club, the Israeli Antiquities Authority said.

At first the group thought the coins were toys, but quickly realised the significance of their discovery.

The Antiquities Authority said the find was "so valuable that it's priceless".

Divers were exploring an ancient harbour in Caesarea when they came across the gold. They collected several coins and quickly returned to the shore to inform the


director of the club.

Experts from the authority called to the site uncovered "almost 2,000 gold coins in different denominations" circulated by the Fatimid Caliphate, which ruled much of the Middle East and North Africa from 909 to 1171.

Shipwreck

Kobi Sharvit, director of the marine archaeology unit at the Israel Antiquities Authority, said excavations would be carried out in the hope of shedding more light on the origin of the treasure.

He added: "There is probably a shipwreck there of an official treasury boat which was on its way to the central government in Egypt with taxes that had been collected.

"Perhaps the treasure of coins was meant to pay thesalaries of the Fatimid military garrison which was stationed in Caesarea and protected the city."

He said another theory was that the treasure belonged to a large merchant ship that traded with the coastal cities and the port on the Mediterranean Sea.

The haul, which weighs 9kg (20lb), is believed to have been exposed as a result of winter storms.

It is now the property of the state and there was no finders' fee.

Early Sunday morning, the 8-year-old girl woke up to an unidentified man in her and her 6-year-old brother's room, El Cajon police Lt. Rob Ransweiler said. The man had crawled through a window on the first floor of their condo in the 1300 block of Hawk Lane.

shot off a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh seeking his personal intervention in the issue. She had also sought to remit and return the already levied service tax since July 1, 2012.

Ms. Jayalaithaa had said that the levy of service tax on rice as “discriminatory and completely unjust” against people in south and east where the grain is the staple food.

“The interpretation given by the Ministry of Finance defies logic and common sense. From time immemorial, rice has been regarded as an ‘agricultural commodity’,” she had said.Lions are not showing up in the news every week with a new arrest. Instead they have invested in high character football players who live to play this game. Alex Carter fits this mold. His father played with Martin Mayhew for the Washington Redskins and you can tell he’s a players son. He has gotten glowing remarks from every coach he has played for and you can see his intelligence on the field. He was a huge contributor at Stanford for three years and started in 33 games throughout his career. He is an experienced player who showed an excellent understanding of his assignments and was a player the coaches at Stanford could always count on.

Athleticism

Alex Carter is an average athlete by NFL standards(RAS Rating per @mathbomb and


Mockdraftable Spider Web below). This is in no way a bad thing. He is plenty athletic enough to excel in the NFL and it rarely shows up as a problem in his tape. He is able to stay with any receiver and faced a lot of elite offenses in his time at Stanford. He was matched up against Marquise Lee, Nelson Agholor, and Brandin Cooks and held his own. His long speed was never a problem in these games and it should not hinder him in the NFL. When he was beaten deep it was usually because he got beat off the line of scrimmage not because of his speed. He has the size Mayhew covets in his corners and the vertical jump to make him a difficultcorner to test with jump balls. His high marks in the bench press show his work ethic and willingness to put in the hours at the gym.

Run Game and Blitzing

Alex Carter was a significant contributor in the run game, a key aspect when the Lions evaluate corners, and constantly displayed his toughness. He never was afraid of contact and relished the opportunity to contribute. Below is a great example, he disengages from his blocker and explodes onto the ball carrier to stop him for a loss. Carter is great at setting the edge and funneling plays inside to limit big plays. He is a complete corner who will compete in any phase of the game.

Another underrated aspect of his game is his ability to rush the passer. He


forced numerous pressures on very few opportunities and seems to enjoy making the quarterback uncomfortable anyway he can. Watch how he sets up the running back and bursts around him to almost sack the quarterback in the play below. If it was not for a great play by Kessler and his teammate running into him he most likely would’ve made the stop on third down.

Ability in Coverage

Alex Carter was rarely beaten deep in coverage, he was constantly in the hip pocket of receivers when he matched up against them. Below is a play against USC in 2013, he is in great position against Nelson Agholor as the ball is in the air. He fails to locate the ball and Agholor makes a play over him. This play iscan become. He has no problem covering bigger wide receivers and plays bigger than six foot because of his long arms (32.125 inches) and vertical ability. This makes him a very valuable commodity especially when you face Alshon Jeffery twice a year.

His movement skills are above average and he excels at mirroring wide receivers in man coverage. He has the explosiveness to recover when he is beaten off the line and has shown the ability to cover in breaking routes. When he recognizes these routes he explodes on the ball and tries to force an incompletion in any way possible. The play against Bennie Fowler below is a perfect example. He is in good position and does not give up on the play to the very end forcing


the ball out. This is a constant theme with Alex Carter, he is always trying to attack the ball. He even led Stanford as a Freshman with three forced fumbles. This tenacity is a trait the Lions always look for in their players and is a great sign for him.

Big Game Specialist

One thing you notice about Carter is he seems to step up in the big moments. One of his best games was against Michigan State in the Rose Bowl. He was not tested very often and when he was it was very unsuccessful. He was all over the field and recorded a couple of pass breakups, two tackles, and forced an incompletion on a corner blitz. One of his shining moments in his college career came againstUCLA his freshman year. UCLA was driving down the field and needed a field goal to tie. On third and long they tested Carter over the middle only for him to come crashing down on the ball to force an incompletion. They proceeded to win the game and the Pac-12 Championship as a result. This type of clutch game ending play is exactly what the Lions were lacking in prior seasons. They had a problem with finishing games and lost countless heartbreakers in the 4th quarter. The Lions have been searching for players they call “finishers” and Alex Carter fits the bill perfectly.

The Bottom Line

Alex Carter fits the Lions profile at corner perfectly. He has the size, character, cover skills, and the “finisher” quality the Lions seek. Barring


an unexpected injury, Carter will essentially redshirt his first year in the NFL. He needs to improve his technique in press coverage and work on his footwork during comeback and inside breaking routes. With the proper coaching he is the number one option to replace Rashean Mathis when he retires. He has all the tools necessary to be a successful cornerback in the NFL.Mechanism of erythrocyte trapping in ischaemic acute renal failure.
Forty-five minutes of warm ischaemia and 20 min of recirculation in the rat kidney was found to result in (1) a massive transient extravasation of plasma upon recirculation and (2) an increase in plasma-lymph transport of proteins during the first hours after onset of circulation. This was accompanied by trapping of erythrocytes, as determined with 51Cr-labelled erythrocytes, in the capillaries, mainly in the inner stripe of the outer medulla. At scanning electron microscopy of vibratome sections, the trapping appeared as aggregates of polygonally shaped erythrocytes. It is concluded that 45 min of ischaemia and 20 min of recirculation results in an increase in the permeability of the renal capillaries. This increase leads to extravasation of capillary plasma with consequent local


previous books and is a perfect ending for the trilogy.

The Magician's Land is, again, a highly meta-literary book. Of course, the parallelism with the Harry Potter and Narnia sagas are evident and central to the plot. But there are also such disparate elements as references to Shakespeare and scenes that pay (explicit) homage to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. And, especially, I couldn't help finding a strong resemblance to some of the main themes and topics of Michael Ende's The Neverending Story.

The Magician's Land is, above all, a story about acceptance. About facing life, in all its cruelty and all its glory. As one of the characters puts it:

It was so utterly pointless. Maybe that's what the ghost was trying to teach her: it's all pointless. Fate isIn fact, I found that Grossman has evolved as a writer and the prose is the best in the series so far.

For all its virtues, the novel also has some minor problems. The fist half of the book is a bit disjointed, with three different and parallel plots and multiple flashbacks. There are some scenes that could have been edited without loosing much, making the novel tighter. And at least one the final twists can be seen coming from a mile away. Many of these issues are redeemed by the end of the book, but the reader has to faith in Grossman's to tie everything up (which he does almost perfectly).

All in all, I highly recommend The Magician's Land. It may not be as good as The Magicians,


Mitchell Johnson runs up now, he bowls, it's angled across the right-hander, left alone outside the off stump, no run ...

So runs a description of a typical Johnson delivery, one that has been on offer all too often lately. When Johnson is in full flow, the delivery is interspersed with regular wickets, gained through pace, occasional swing and a vicious, armpit-seeking short ball. Presently, though, he is not in full flow, and is increasingly mired in the sort of Test-wicket drought that no one would want to endure, especially not as they near their 30th birthday.

Nine months have passed since Johnson caught lightning in a bottle in a Test match. At the time, his six first-innings wickets against England in Perth carried the whiff of a happy accident:having not swung the ball an inch in Brisbane, he was dropped for the second Test in Adelaide, before suddenly beginning to swerve it around corners. Regrettably, the next five Tests have proven that a freak event is precisely what it was. Across these matches, he has taken only 11 wickets at a cost of more than 50. When he walked off the WACA ground his bowling average was 29.00, it is now nudging 31.00. They are the sort of figures that get a bowler dropped, no matter how senior or potentially dangerous.

In subsequent Ashes jousts in Melbourne and Sydney, Johnson was taken for four an over as he struggled for swing or even basic direction. His last contribution to the series was to lose his bails first


ball to Chris Tremlett, as the Barmy Army sang mockingly from the stands. Aiming to make amends, Johnson appeared to do all the right things in the off-season that followed. He chose to forsake the Twenty20 Big Bash League to concentrate on Test matches, trained hard in the nets, and developed a relationship with his new bowling coach Craig McDermott - the enigmatic Troy Cooley had moved on to the Centre of Excellence. Rested from the tour match that preceded the Tests, Johnson even swung the odd delivery on the practice pitches at P Sara Oval, McDermott collecting them watchfully in a baseball glove.

Yet, on the resumption of Test cricket against Sri Lank in Galle, Johnson's bowling seemed curiously muted. Though he was no less accurate than usual,and played his part as a member of the bowling ensemble that secured a meritorious victory on a difficult pitch, a certain spark was missing. Australia's fielding coach, Steve Rixon, had predicted that Johnson had the potential to run through the hosts on a pitch with uneven bounce, but he took only two wickets in the match. There was no swing discernible, even though Ryan Harris and Shane Watson gained enough to pose consistent problems for batsmen young and old.

The pattern has continued on less helpful strips in Pallekele and Colombo, as Sri Lanka played him with some care but also took advantage of plenty of opportunities to score. His only wicket so far at the SSC involved a meaty drive intercepted at short extra cover by Ricky


Ponting: not exactly the bowled, lbw or slips catch he has seemed to be looking for. Johnson's offspinning slower ball is excellent, but even that could be delivered with more regularity, to provoke the sort of miscue that nearly ended the innings of Tillakaratne Dilshan on the third morning. By the afternoon he was being treated with some contempt by Angelo Mathews, and Ricky Ponting was offering frequent advice.

Why Johnson has struggled for wickets is a matter of debate. He has not swung the ball, but that has not stopped him from discomforting and dismissing batsmen in the past. He is not bowling with the greatest control, yet, there have been times when he has bowled far worse. Johnson's top pace here is around the 145kph mark, whichis consistent with his upper register over the previous four years. And his mind and heart seem to be in the right space, as evidenced by a friendly, chatty visage across the tour.

Johnson's nadir took place during the first Ashes Test at Lord's in 2009. At the time he was expected to be Australia's best threat with the ball, yet over the course of that match he was the tourists' greatest liability. Dirty family laundry aired in the press did not help. Ever since he has worked at being at once tougher and happier, and also a little thicker-skinned. No such problems have been evident in 2011, and so cannot be considered central to his present torpor.

The answer, if there is one, may lie in the place where


Johnson is most vulnerable - his bowling action. Johnson's method has always had something to it, but something missing as well. It is inherently difficult to judge how well Johnson is bowling, simply because his action does not exist in the easy space between instinct and training that most quality international bowlers inhabit. Save for days like that one in Perth, every ball can seem a battle, and Johnson is in the habit of holding up his left arm in subtle rehearsal immediately after most of his deliveries.

With the handicap of his technique, Johnson has often relied on the confluence of environmental factors for his most telling moments. He first emerged as an international bowler of note on a damp, humid night in Kuala Lumpur in 2006, skittlingfour India batsmen, including Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar, in a handful of overs. The planets aligned then, as they did again in Perth. When they will next is anybody's guess, not least the national selectors'. They must now decide how long is too long to wait between stand-out spells, and at the moment the gap is starting to yawn. One more series may be all he has left.

For the moment, the location of that series is a source of hope. Australia's next Test assignment is in South Africa. This, of course, was the scene of Johnson's most triumphant performances. In 2009 he swung the new ball and dished out blood and thunder, proving the ideal spearhead as the tourists enjoyed an unexpected 2-1 victory. The effort was

Oilers

Ward could stay in Carolina, where he's spent the first 12 years of his career, but he'd now play second fiddle to the new starter in Darling.

Or he could accept a trade - Ward carries a 15-team no-trade list - to head to Alberta and play for the Oilers. It would mark a Western Canada homecoming of sorts for Ward, a Saskatoon native who spent his junior years with the WHL's Red Deer Rebels.

While Ward would still be the second option in Edmonton, the Oilers showed this season that they need a reliable backup behind starter Cam Talbot. He appeared in all but nine games this season, primarily due to Edmonton's limited depth in the crease.

Ward could offer the Oilers insurance on the short term, as he's signedyoung goalies continue developing their games.

Vegas Golden Knights

The Golden Knights wouldn't need to trade for Ward. They could simply add him for free. That is, if the Hurricanes opt to expose him in the summer expansion draft.

Vegas will build its initial roster from a blank canvas, with two spots to fill between the pipes. Thirty netminders will be made available to the Golden Knights, so the question will be whether general manager George McPhee believes Ward is one of the two best goaltenders to be free for the picking.

Ward won the Stanley Cup and playoff MVP honors in his rookie season with the Hurricanes in 2005. He'd bring a winning pedigree to the NHL's newest franchise.

Only a year away from free agency, the possibility remains Ward could put


together a solid campaign in Vegas, backstopping plenty of pucks on a piecemeal team. That would make him an attractive rental option at next year's trade deadline, with the first-year Golden Knights likely set for the seller's seat.

girl that you think is/has …”. Crucially, one of the female figures was very thin, one was very fat, and the other average, with no other differences between them. Three-year-olds, four-year-olds and five-year-olds all tended to allocate more negative adjectives to the fat figure and more positive adjectives to the thin figure.

Another test involved the children looking at nine figures (three fat, three average and three thin) and choosing their first three preferences for playmates, and finally to choose their best friend from the selection. Children at all ages tended to choose a thin figure for their first choice, a thin or average for the second choice, with no bias in their third choice. Best friend choices tended to be thin.

Age differences were few, but there was someRights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This focus on LBJ is critical because progressives don’t want to admit that proportionately, more Republicans in Congress voted for those laws than Democrats. The main opposition to the civil rights movement didn’t come from the Republican Party; it came from the Democratic Party. These inconvenient truths are skipped through a singular focus on LBJ.

Progressives know that LBJ, in his early career, was a bigot and a segregationist. He was part of the most racist wing of the Democratic Party. Yet progressives like Rauchway and his sidekick Kevin Kruse have turned LBJ into one of their great icons. In some respects, this is understandable. The Left, in recent decades, has distanced itself from Andrew Jackson and Woodrow


describe the theories on which the Nazis based their persecution of the Jews.” This shows how closely linked racism and Nazism were in the popular mind, and helps confirm that it was the Nazis who, against their intentions of course, finally put white supremacy into the grave.

We can imagine that LBJ watched with horror the decline of racism in America, not simply because he was a nasty bigot himself—and bigotry loves company—but also because white supremacy had been the central political doctrine of the Democratic Party for at least a century. Once the Republicans ended slavery the Democrats turned swiftly to white supremacy which became the glue, both in the North and the South, holding the party together.

With racism dwindling fast, LBJ knew his party would lose voterswhose allegiance to the Democrats had been based on the party’s support for racist policies. This was a serious problem. From the Democrats’ point of view, it meant that if racism could not be revived—and there was no way after Nazism to revive it—then the party would need new voters, and lots of them, in order to compensate for the losses in white racist voters who were regrettably losing their prejudices.

Where to look? There was only one place: black voters. And blacks in the 1950s and 1960s were voting in greater numbers than ever before. For the first half of the twentieth century, the Democrats had through racial intimidation and other means largely suppressed the black vote in the South, where the vast majority of blacks lived. But


starting around World War I, a great migration occurred in which blacks over the next several decades literally got up and moved.

As Isabel Wilkerson writes in The Warmth of Other Suns, some 6 million blacks—nearly half of the entire black population of the rural South—left the farms, plantations and cotton fields of that region and moved to cities like New York, Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia. Some moved to smaller cities like Milwaukee and Oakland. The great migration was, as Wilkerson puts it, “an unrecognized immigration within this country.”

In the cities, blacks could vote and did vote, so for the first time in American politics, the black vote became significant by the late 1940s and 1950s. The black vote was especially important in swing states like Illinois, Newnews release on the group's website, the OPG group has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Gujarat government
for a power generation production capacity of 5400 MW in the state. This includes 1400 MW Gas based power generation, and the rest is with coal which
the company proposes to receive through the port operated at the neighbouring Mundra coast, run by the Adani group.

The Machimar Adhikar Sangharsh Sangathan (MASS) a fishworker's trade union in Bhadreshwar, had pointed out the first instance of legal infirmity by the
OPG group back in 2009-2010. OPG first disclosed its proposal to set up a 300 MW thermal power plant in Bhadreshwar village of Mundra taluka and
applied for environment clearance from Gujarat State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA). As per the Environment Impact Assessment (EIA)
notification


processes would have gone along
in parallel.

With this information in hand MASS representatives wrote to the then Minister of Environment and Forests (MoEF), Jairam Ramesh seeking the Ministry's
intervention and pointing to these irregularities. The letter on 26 February 2010 highlighted the OPG group has deliberately tried to mislead the
concerned authorities, and therefore their proposal is liable to rejection invoking Section 8 (vi) of the EIA notification.

But no such action was taken. Meanwhile, in June 2010 OPG received its environment clearance from Gujarat SEIAA for its 300 MW plant, with a long list
of 121 conditions - one of the longest in the history of environment clearances granted. But because of its location along the coast, this project also
needed additional permissions under the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ), 1991 notification.

This permission wasdenied. OPG's proposal to build an intake channel to the thermal power plant along the coast was rejected by MoEF's Expert
Appraisal Committee (EAC) for Building Construction, Coastal Regulation Zone, Infrastructure Development and Miscellaneous projects in July 2010. The
committee felt that the coastal environment would be negatively impacted by the construction of an open channel, and instead suggested that OPG could
consider the construction of a pipeline instead, to provide for water requirements of the 300 MW plant. The company was to submit a revised proposal.

However, with no CRZ clearance in hand the company announced its Bhoomi Pujan to initiate the construction activity in November 2010. Evidence
indicated that OPG had undertaken land-filling and cutting of trees without the CRZ approval this. This came to the notice of the fisherfolk when
invitation


cards were distributed widely in the area. MASS took it upon themselves to point out this irregularity to the MoEF.

MoEF issued a show cause notice to the company asking it to explain why it had begun construction without the
necessary approvals.

It was only following this that the officials of the Ministry issued a show cause notice on 15 December 2010 to the company, asking why construction
activity had been undertaken prior to the approvals being granted. However, although the fisherfolk had been instrumental in raising many of the issues
in the show-cause notice, the exchange between the MoEF and the company took place with no involvement of the locals.

Another instance of construction without approvals

On 16 September 2011, the company got its approval under the CRZ notification, this time too with acentre.

Amidst all this, an old way of life goes on in the area - with the sounds of the waves, the array of Bombay Duck fish left for trying around fishing
shelters, the conversations with the people as they mend their fishing nets, and the flamingoes that visit Randh Bander year after year. Without the
simple right to determine their own destiny, another local community struggles to come to terms with a system that casts them aside in the pursuit of
'national development'.


The world’s second largest coral reef in the world has just been taken off of the endangered places list.

After being danger-listed in 2009, the Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System (BBRRS) was removed from the UNESCO World Heritage Center list of “World Heritage in Danger” last month.

The decision was made by the World Heritage Committee during their 42nd annual meeting, held in Manama, Bahrain.

The BBRRS was listed as endangered due to a number of threats, including unsustainable tourism development on many islands and cayes within the site. The news of possible oil and gas activities further loomed as threats to the site’s fragile ecosystem, due to concessions granted within the marine ecosystem.

RELATED: 700 Acres of Massive 1,000-Year-old Redwoods Are Being Turned into a Public Park

The World Heritage Committee creditedBelize’s safeguarding measures as the cause for the historic conservational victory. As a means of protecting the reef, the country introduced a ban on oil exploration along the entire maritime zone of the country in December of 2017, and they recently strengthened forestry regulations to provide better protection of mangroves.

The Belizean reef system first joined the World Heritage List in 1996. It is an outstanding natural system consisting of the largest barrier reef in the northern hemisphere, offshore atolls, several hundred sand cayes, mangrove forests, coastal lagoons and estuaries. The BBRRS is considered a significant habitat for threatened species, including the green, hawk-billed, and loggerhead sea turtle, the West Indian manatee, and the American marine crocodile.

at the age of 32, Thomas emerged as one of the league’s top goalies when he won the Vezina Trophy as the league’s top goalie in 2009. He won it again along with the playoff MVP in 2011 while leading Boston to the Stanley Cup championship.

But he is also an iconoclast who was known to wander far from the crease in games and occasionally leave his comfort zone off the ice as well. When the Bruins met President Barack Obama to celebrate their NHL title, Thomas skipped the White House visit and issued a political diatribe on his Facebook page as explanation.

Chiarelli said Thomas appeared tired after the championship season, when he played in 82 games, including every minute of the longest postseason in Bruins history. He gotvery little time off down the stretch this year after backup Tuukka Rask was injured at the beginning of March.

"After we won the Cup, he was tired," Chiarelli said. "With all the stuff that’s been going on the last two years, with the winning and the appearances, I think he’s worn down."

Thomas, 38, could not immediately be reached for comment. Chiarelli said it was likely Thomas would post something on his Facebook page on Friday.

Thomas has a 196-121-45 record in a little more than seven NHL seasons, with a 2.48 goals-against average and 31 career shutouts. He is 29-21 in the playoffs, with a 2.07 goals-against average and six shutouts -- four of them in the Stanley Cup season, when he won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the


same terms, they would have to take a salary cap hit of $5 million this year and again in 2013-14, the GM said.

Chiarelli said Thomas expressed an interest in playing in the 2014 Olympics, which will be two months before he turns 40. But he is not certain to be picked for the U.S. team over Ryan Miller, Jonathan Quick, Jimmy Howard or another young American goaltender who might have emerged by then.

Thomas was a member of the U.S. team in Vancouver, but he did not play on the team that won the silver medal.

Practically speaking, a year off for Thomas could translate into an early retirement.

"It would be hard for a 38-year-old to come back" after a year off, Chiarelli said. "I would think that."

In 1992 the Associated Press distributed a newspaper report examining the United Kingdom’s then practice of using “human shields” to protect its military and paramilitary installations in the north-east of Ireland. By the late 1980s and early ‘90s the British Forces had concluded that the construction of fortified bases and checkpoints on requisitioned property in the middle of dense civilian housing, schools and hospitals, greatly impeded or deterred potential insurgent attacks by the (Provisional) Irish Republican Army. One consequence of this was the establishment of new bases or the repositioning of old ones in the contested “border” zone of the UK-administered Six Counties where the British Army and the RUC, the counter-insurgency police, were particularly vulnerable to assault.

In one typical case, a frequently targeted military checkpoint in CountyArmagh was withdrawn from an isolated position south of the town of Newry and rebuilt closer to the Irish nationalist enclave, adjacent to a Roman Catholic school and associated housing. When challenged about the construction efforts senior government minsters in Britain implicitly justified the use of “human shields”, laying the blame for the threat to civilian areas on the “terrorists”. As one spokesperson for the ruling Conservative Party in London indicated, the onus was on the guerrillas not to target installations sited among the civilian population, not on the “security forces” to remove those installations to locations where civilians were out of harm’s way.

I posted the AP article last week in relation to the more extreme – and hopefully unlikely – dangers that could emanate from the possible


imposition of a “Brexit border” between the north-east of Ireland and the rest of the country, and it drew considerable comment on certain fora. The primary criticism of the piece was based on the widespread belief that the British do not want a return to a “hard border” around the Six Counties, and will avoid any actions – the establishment of custom posts, the selection of “approved” border-crossings, the destruction of “unapproved” roads and bridges, and so on – which could spark a renewed conflict in the UK-occupied region. However the statements and leaks coming from the government of Ireland, and senior politicians north and south, have indicated that Britain has offered no firm proposals to ensure that an open border and unrestricted travel between the two islandsintention of tearing up several aspects of the Good Friday Agreement of 1998, a two-tier peace deal that required an all-party agreement in the north-east and an international treaty between the nation states of Ireland and Britain. If that involves the reimposition of an “international” boundary line on this island, one of concrete and barbed wire, then the British government is certainly positioning itself to make such a necessity more palatable to its people. As the Guardian reports:

“Plan for UK military to opt out of European convention on human rights Controversial plans for the military to opt out from the European convention on human rights (ECHR) during future conflicts will be introduced by ministers, to see off what the prime minister described as an “industry of vexatious claims”

When A. Portillo, a 23-year-old woman from Honduras, was taken into custody by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in California earlier this month, her five-month-old was sick. The woman, who spoke to BuzzFeed News and asked to be identified by only her first initial and last name, was giving her baby an antibiotic but said she wasn’t allowed to keep the medication after she was detained.

Her baby got sicker as they were held in “freezing” cells — migrants refer to these as hieleras, or iceboxes — and when she pleaded with CBP agents for a doctor, she says they refused. “The agents told me I wasn’t in a position to be asking for anythingand that they didn’t tell me to come to the United States,” she said. They also called her an “invader,” she told NBC News.

After being transferred to San Diego and then flying to North Carolina to be with family, Portillo was finally able to get her child to a hospital. The baby had a fever and at one point stopped breathing. Doctors said she had pneumonia. “If I had been able to keep the drugs, maybe they would have made my baby better,” she said.

This CBP horror story follows two others that came to light in the past week. Last Thursday, the Washington Post reported the death of Jakelin Caal. The seven-year-old Guatemalan girl died of a combination of septic shock, fever, and dehydration, just hours after she


The second class of the all-female Syriac Christians Brigade proudly took its place earlier this month on the front lines in the fight against ISIS, whose own increasing use of women as suicide bombers offers a sharp contrast between the two sides’ visions.

Known as the “Female Protection Forces of the Land Between the Two Rivers” – in reference to the stretch of traditionally Syriac-inhabited land between the Tigris and Euphrates, the all-volunteer unit consists of Syrian mothers, wives and professionals who pray in Aramaic, the language spoken by Jesus.

"I'm a practicing Christian, and thinking about my children makes me stronger and more determined in my fight against Daesh (ISIS)," one fighter named Babylonia, who graduated with the first class in December, told AFP. She said her husband, alsoa soldier in the same war, encouraged her to leave their children behind to fight for their future – and "against the idea that the Syriac woman is good for nothing except housekeeping and make-up.”

The women, the first of whom graduated from a training camp in Al-Qahtaniyeh in August, are primarily focused on protecting Christian areas. Patterned after the highly successful female Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG), the unit has already seen battle, most recently in the fight to retake the northeastern town of Al-Hol after two years of ISIS rule.

“ISIS will recruit from any social strata, and using female terrorists in general and suicide bombers in particular are only going to increase.” — Shaul Gabbay, Global Research Institute

But while these women are fighting to protect their families

We are members of the Sable Island Preservation Trust, an organization that is working to preserve and protect the beautiful and mysterious Sable Island, approximately 90 minutes (by air) from Halifax NS, Canada.

Known for the beautiful wild horses that have roamed the island (and still do) for centuries.

Once known as the Graveyard of the Atlantic, due to the many shipwrecks that rammed the island's shores (Sable was mentioned in the movie, the Perfect Storm). Sable today is no longer a lifesaving station for shipwreck survivors but it still inhabited by groups of scientists who come and go, mostly to study the birds, seals and horses of the island. Six permanent residents also inhabit the island all year, manning a main station that provides administation, weather


reporting, coordination of aircraft activity to name a few of their activities.

We had the pleasure of seeing an intriguing film, Moving Sands, based in part on the lives of some of the early inhabitants of Sable Island. Featuring haunting scenes of earlier days on the islands and telling of the struggles and challenges faced by the family of Trixie Bouteilliers. Her father was the superintendent of the lifesaving station from 1885-1912. This is a story, told from the perspective of a young girl, living an unusual albeit wonderful childhood.

hard that tufts of sea foam from the waves scurried up the sand and into the dunes, like little white mice. I walked past a party on the verANDahhhh of the fancy hotel.

I didn’t want to turn back yet, but the daylight had gone. At the first lifeguard chair that I passed on the return, four feet swung against the wooden steps and two heads leaned close for a kiss. I walked on, alone. At the next lifeguard chair, a teenage boy with long golden hair struggled to light a cigarette in the wind. Another ways down the beach, and I found the third lifeguard chair–the one I had pointed out to Carlos in the morning–standing empty under the dark night clouds.

Mr. Sippy Cup and I didn’t thinktwice. We scaled up the wide wooden slats of the chair and faced into the wind. The breeze actually smelled different up there, saltier and clean. Even after the walking, my chest sat tight, filled with anxiety. Second day of vacation and my kids were already bat shit crazy. I breathed in three parts–belly, chest, collar bones–and felt the wind move into me.

I remembered the first time I had climbed into the lifeguard chair, 25 or 26 years ago. I had gone for a beach weekend with some friends. Late at night, we went for a walk on the beach and discovered an empty lifeguard chair. Feeling bold, I climbed into it and a guy I had known for years climbed in beside me. He was good-looking and

With every chalk dust diagram of sonnet rhyme schemes or droning exegesis of Wordsworth, I felt the chances of studying William Butler Yeats, Wilfred Owen, and Ted Hughes slipping into nothingness. So I read ahead.

One poem by Yeats never left me. I committed it to memory, or more rightly “learned it by heart” while sitting there in the windowless classroom filled with rows of desks and bored teenagers.

I was sixteen years old, and I yearned for a day when I could look back on my moments of glad grace, when someone–anyone!–would havewrapped up, snuggled up, loved up in a lap. Even when his lips were blue and he shook with cold, he couldn’t take his eyes off the waves. I remember a trip I took to St Simon’s on my own when I was about six months pregnant with Carlos. I walked out into the water to cool down and that baby started flipping and dancing and getting down. I stood there for so long, bouncing along with the waves, that a school of tiny fish started nibbling on the green skirt of my swimsuit. That was a September, and the monarch butterflies were resting in Georgia on their long trip south. Small things–the fish and the butterflies–small things with great journeys ahead of them, making their way across

Ex-Maverick Delonte West: 'Everywhere I look, the joke is on me'

Mavericks guard Delonte West reacts after injuring his hand trying to make a steal in a game against the Denver Nuggets on Feb. 12, 2012. The brutally dislocated and broken finger cost West a month of the season.

gigantic orbit and sheer distance from the sun.

Ironically, this isn’t the first time Mike Brown has shaken up the solar system. He was also one of the most important scientists in removing Pluto from its status as a planet. When the dwarf planet known as Eris was discovered in 2005, it was Brown who announced the discovery. Unfortunately, his realization that there were likely many small planets similar in size to Eris and Pluto prompted the redefinition of what counted and didn’t count as a planet—and Pluto got the short end of the stick. Oh, and he later wrote a book called: How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming.

It’s not known what happened at the lunch — because reporters were not present — and whether Harry and Trump exchanged pleasantries, or Trump even addressed the controversy that arose of her “nasty” remark.

Queen Elizabeth hosted the lunch in honor of the president and first lady’s state visit to the United Kingdom. Prince Charles, his wife Camilla and White House senior advisors Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner also were present at the lunch.

Harry “noticeably hung back” when the queen led the group into


the palace’s picture gallery, where she showed the president and first lady a collection of artifacts, including the Declaration of Independence and portraits of George Washington and George III, according to a tweet from Emily Andrews, the royal correspondent for The Sun.

If Harry interacted with Trump family members, it was with Trump’s daughter Ivanka. He entered the gallery with her, though he then “drifted off” to talk to the Lord Chamberlain, according to Andrews. Vanity Fair, citing a report from CNN, said that Harry might have been included in the lunch as a courtesy to Melania Trump to thank her for leading the US team to the Invictus Games in Toronto in 2017.

Prince Harry, who was also at the private lunch, noticeably hung back.

Earlier in the day, Trump and the first lady arrived by Marine One helicopter at Buckingham Palace, where they were first greeted by Charles and Camilla, then by Queen Elizabeth.

For the ceremonial welcome, Charles invited Trump to inspect the guards before the group slipped inside to sit down for lunch, CNN reported. Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner were spotted earlier watching the president’s arrival at Buckingham Palace.

Two People Arrested in Death of RIT Professor

Two Rochester residents have been arrested in the fatal shooting of Rochester Institute of Technology professor Edline Chun.

Jerrelle Henry and, his girlfriend, Natalie Johnson were arraigned in City Court Friday and are being held in the Monroe County jail without bail. Both are facing charges of 2nd degree murder.

Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley says the case will be handled by Assistant District Attorney Perry Duckles.

"They've entered a plea of not guilty," Doorley says. "The matter has been sent down for a preliminary hearing which is scheduled for next Wednesday, March 6th. The District Attorney's Office plans to present evidence to the Grand Jury prior to that date of the preliminary hearing."

Doorley says Grand Jury participants could likely be asked toconsider additional charges. Rochester Police Chief James Sheppard says they beleive the motive behind Chun's death was robbery. That's after Henry was apprehended while in possession of Chun's car.

"Jerell Henry quickly became a person of interest," Sheppard says. "Jerrell Henry was released on patrol in December of 2012. However, prior to his incarceration he had lived next door to Ms. Chun for a number of years. Therefore, they were known to each other."

Sheppard praise police investigators and analysts in the Monroe Crime Analysis Center for their work on this case. Lauren Cardella says Chun has been a colleague of her's for the past 6 years at RIT.

"It's nice to know there's some closure coming to everything," she says. "Knowing that there have been two people that have been


arrested and charges are coming... [It] just kind of puts those final pieces back together. Why? And what happened?"

Cardella described Chun as dedicated to her students, one who loved gardening and cooking. In fact, Cardellas says Chun was in the process of writing her first cook book.

Chun was a member of many Rochester organizations as well as a founder of the Sojouner House in the early 80s.

Chun was shot to death in her Hazelwood Terrace home on February 3rd. She was found three days later by workers at Tryon Park while conducting routine maintenance at a pure water facility.By Geoff Cobb

At first glance the claim seems like pure pub blarney: an Irishman wrote the melody for “The Star Spangled Banner.” There is, however, a strong basis to assert that the melody of our national anthem, in fact, is an adaptation of an Irish tune written by Erin’s greatest composer.

If you half paid attention in school you know the Anthem’s story. On September 14, 1814, during the War of 1812 amateur poet Francis Scott Key, standing on board the deck of a British warship, witnessed the massive British bombardment of Fort McHenry in Baltimore Harbor. Inspired by the huge American flag flying defiantly above the fort the next morning, Key wrote a verse, which he set to the tune of a popular English song. His


finally came to the conclusion that the music most probably originated in Ireland. There wasn’t much debate that the original melody was a London drinking song called “Anacreon in Heaven,” created by John Stafford Smith in 1793. Smith, however, never claimed authorship of the music, implying that the music had an earlier Irish authorship.

Experts on the commission narrowed the anthem’s origins to one of two possible Irish musicians who lived during the 18th century. The first was William McKeague from County Fermanagh, who some believed composed it as the regimental song for the Royal Inniskillin Fusiliers. However, the more likely writer of the famous melody is the greatest composer Ireland ever had – Turlough O’Carolan, the last of the Irish bards. The O’Carolan song regarded as the “ancestor”mention. The harp is the national symbol of Ireland, in part, in tribute to his musical genius. O’Carolan, honored by the Irish government on a bank note, was born in Nobber, County Meath, in 1670 – 15 years before Bach. He died in 1738 at age 68, 18 years before the birth of Mozart. Blinded by smallpox at the age of 14, amazingly, he mastered the harp in three short years without being able to read a single musical note. He then began traveling Ireland on horseback, his harp slung over his shoulder, moving from patron to patron. Unlike other Irish bards, O’Carolan composed his music before playing it, but none of it was written down during his lifetime. His funeral, lasting four days drew musicians from all

The morning after my Vauxhall expedition with dear Vida, I sat on my bed and frowned at my laced fingers. I would ask about my missing purse when I went into the kitchen.

Unexpected eddies and surges threatened to take him back and send him on and on—would he never find a place to lie in safety?
