Amber was treated on the scene by paramedics. They inserted a tube into her windpipe and began to breathe for her. They rushed her to Navarro Regional Hospital, just two and a half miles away. There she was treated emergency room physician Dr. Grady Carlton Shaw. Shaw testified at Willingham's trial. He described his efforts to revive Amber.

_Shaw_ : She was not breathing, nor was her heart beating.... She was not making any attempt to breathe. We established an intravenous line and gave her medications to stimulate her heart. I called her pediatrician to help me in the attempt to resuscitate her. We continued to do CPR, to artificially compress her heartbox. Each limb pocket may receive an end of each limb for engagement to the riser surface. Each limb is held in place within the limb pocket by a limb bolt which passes through a hole or slot in the end of the limb to engage a threaded bore in the engagement surface of the handle portion. Limb pockets may be integral to the limb portion or may be separate members which mutually engage the handle portion and a limb end. Through the use of a limb pocket, a limb may be connected to the riser at various pivot angles. By adjusting the pivot angle a shooter has the ability to vary the relative bowstring tension and draw force required to pull the bow string. As a result,

The improvement relates to a bushing which is received in the aperture of the bow limb. The bushing includes a first hole and a key which is snugly received in the slot of the bow limb. The first hole extends vertically through the bushing and is adapted to receive the fastener. The bushing can comprise a body portion and a head portion, and the body portion can comprise the key. The body portion can comprise a cylinder which is received in the aperture of the bow limb. The bow limb construction can include a washer which has a bore extending through it, whereinopening. A screw extends through the limb into the first opening. A set screw is provided in the second opening to lock the limb screw. In another embodiment, the handle is provided with an opening that tapers toward the rear. A tapered bushing is received in the opening. A screw extends through a cable guide into the bushing to mount same. In another embodiment, a limb pivot arrangement is provided which includes a pair of concave channels on the handle, and complementary part-spherical bosses on the limb.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,507,270 describes a limb pocket with a plurality of plastic inserts located about the interior of the pocket for receiving the butt of a limb. The interior width of the pocket is greater than the width of the butt


of the limb and the inserts reduce the interior width of the pocket to less than the width of the limb butt. The inserts are slightly tapered and slightly resilient to assure a close fit between the pocket and the limb. The end wall of the pocket optionally includes inserts for separating the end of the limb from the end wall of the pocket. The walls and floor of the pocket include shallow recesses for locating the inserts.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,024,076 describes an archery bow including pivoting limb pockets for attaching two split limbs or a single limb to the bow handle. The limb pockets are secured to the handle by an adjustment bolt. Circular mating portions on the pocket and handle permit rotation of the pocket aboutthe handle. A slug which is press-fitted in the handle provides lateral stability between the pocket and the handle. The front wall of the pocket prevents limb movement in the axial direction and the top surface of the pocket limits upward movement.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,244,259 describes a bow limb mounting system for adjustably mounting a limb inner end of a bow limb to a riser mounting surface of a bow riser of an archery bow. The limb inner end pivots relative to the bow riser about a limb pivot axis. The pivot movement is produced by an adjustable strut assembly which varies an attachment angle between the limb inner end and the riser mounting surface, while restraining lateral movement between the two. The adjustable strut assembly has upper


whole truth. With any sea change, there are inevitably winners and losers, those who are in a position to adapt and profit, and others left struggling to catch up. The first season of The Deuce covered the slow, steady opening of the cultural floodgates at the height of the sexual revolution in American culture. David Simon and George Pelecanos limit their scope of inquiry to New York City, and specifically a two-mile stretch of downtown Manhattan, and yet it functions as an accelerated microcosm of a national movement. Things might happen more quickly in New York because of diverse demographics, urban planning, and a power-hungry mayor desperate to step on the national stage, but that doesn’t mean it’s not happening everywhere.

The flames devoured the earth, their red-hot tongues straining to pierce the skies above.

It had just been a small oversight, but a single careless miner was hall it had taken for a large mound of volatile fire Dust to destabilize, triggering a fatal chain reaction. Now, the entire operation was ablaze,with thick plumes of black smoke rising into the air.

Above ground, hordes of villagers stared in horror at the disaster unfolding below, many of them screaming out in terror for their loved ones. And in the skies, their grief and despair had attracted a horde of aerial Grimm - Griffons and Nevermores, led by the alpha of their pack, a large, armoured bird of prey known as a Thunderuk.

But hope was not yet lost;


a Huntsman with flaming-red hair and dual Dust revolvers stood in their midst, frantically helping civilians evacuate while shooting at the descending Grimm. "Go, go, go!" He yelled at them, gesturing towards the nearby buildings. "Get to cover, we'll handle this!" He cursed as a Griffon swooped downward with reckless abandon, and he ducked to avoid it.

A scream caught his attention as he looked up, seeing that a young child had been caught up in the bird's claws. The Huntsman quickly fired an energy beam from his right gun, catching the Griffon's wing mid-air. The beast's captive screamed as he fell from its grip, falling toward the earth below.

Suddenly, a young woman came flying to his rescue, a pair of gray wings carrying her through the air asthey retrieved the little boy. The Huntress, a tall, light-haired woman wielding a pale blue spear in her free hand, descended to the ground with the child over her shoulder. Breathing a sigh of relief, the Huntsman ran over to his companion.

"Winona!" he called out to the bird Faunus. "How are things looking down there?"

"Not good," Winona replied as she lowered the boy, who quickly ran into the arms of his sobbing mother. The Huntress swiftly pressed some buttons on her weapon's handle. "The fire shows no sign of dying down, and there are more miners down there. Take care of things on the ground, Flare - I'm going back in." Without another word, she soared into the air and plunged down into the mines below.

"Take care of


things," Flare muttered under his breath, shooting another Griffon out of the sky. "Right, that'll be so simple." Glancing at his left revolver, he saw that it was running low on Dust energy.

Glancing up, he saw that a swarm of Griffons and a Nevermore had formed above the mine. Pressing a second trigger on his gun, Flare ejected the Dust crystal and launched it in their direction. The projectile detonated with all its remaining power, obliterating the Grimm in one fell swoop.

The Thunderuk had been circling the area for a while now, but with an ear-shattering screech it finally entered the fray, flying beak-first in Flare's direction. Cursing, he ran as fast as he could to lead it away from the civilians. Scrambling to replace the crystal inhis revolver, he attempted to slow the avian's descent with gunfire.

As the giant bird approached the ground, Flare leapt on its back. Putting away one of his revolvers, he grabbed onto the beast's wing while pumping rounds of bullets into its armour, struggling to form a crack. As the Thunderuk returned to the skies, he held on for dear life, glancing sideways as he heard a low, mechanical whir.

He saw the spear soaring toward him, following the set path programmed by its owner. Spinning and curving as it flew, it repeatedly struck at the beast's head, wings and legs, finally causing it to lose its balance. The sudden shift in movement caused Flare to lose his grip, and for a moment he panicked.

Thankfully, Winona came to save him,


flying at blinding speed with an unconscious miner over her shoulder. Her spear plunged into the Thunderuk's helmet, finally breaking off a piece of its armour. She grabbed Flare with her free hand as he fell, and carried them back down to the ground.

"Thanks," Flare panted, his heart still racing.

Up above, Winona's spear continued to fly unhindered, impaling Grimm left and right until only the alpha remained. Screeching, the Thunderuk flapped its wings to blow the weapon away. Tapping a bracelet on her arm, Winona called the spear back to her hand.

"How are we gonna take that thing down?" Flare yelled. "I could barely make a dent in it."

"I made a small hole in its armour," Winona replied, lowering the civilian onto the ground. The man made hisway to a small area where all the rescued miners had gathered, anxiously comforting their loved ones. "The chink is barely five centimetres wide. From here, it'll take a small miracle to pierce it."

As it turned out, however, that miracle came only seconds later, in the form of an arrow whizzing above her head. As the two Huntsmen turned in surprise, it continued upward and flew straight toward the Thunderuk in the sky.

Before the beast could react, the projectile plunged cleanly into its head. It howled in pain and thrashed around in the air, flapping its massive wings to cause shockwaves that were felt at ground level. Freezing in mid-air with a final cry, the avian Grimm shuddered and fell backwards, its limp body plummeting gracelessly into the


hotel rather than a school to train warriors.

That being said.…

"Isn't this a little...overkill?" asked Qrow nervously, glancing around at the grand table that had been laid out in front of them.

The entire affair, stretching out to almost the entire length of the academy's Great Hall, was draped in rich velvet sheets and decorated with scented candles. All along the table were plates of fat, roast pigs, golden cobs of corn, a fully-stuffed cornucopia, and countless other delectable dishes, their scents mixing to create a truly mouth-watering aroma. And in the centre lay a rack of bottles upon bottles of finely aged wine, some of which dated as far back as the Dark Ages.

"I-I'm just saying," he added hastily, seeing Carnelia gaze up at him in surprise. "There's onlytorn apart by vicious bandits, Qrow was terrified of the idea of seeing his old 'family' again. His few memories of the them weren't exactly shines and rainbows, but the tribe was still a part of his life, and that was something he could never change.

But now, he would have to confront it. And this wasn't the sort of adversary he could simply hack away at with Reaper's Gambit, and running away was out of the question. Was he really up to the task?

"The main camp is located in the ruins of an old village," Carnelia continued. "Wouldn't surprise me if the bandits took it over after pillaging it. In any case, it's not particularly hard to keep tabs on the area, since it's quite close to Ghibli


Forest - Phoebe's homeland." She was interrupted by a call on her Scroll. "Ah. Speaking of the devil…"

She placed the device in a small compartment on the table's side. With a low whir, a large oil canvas on the wall depicting an intricately detailed map of Remnant began to shake, eventually splitting into four small paintings of each of the Kingdoms, revealing a massive television screen in the centre.

...Yep, thought Qrow. Definitely overkill.

"...Ozpin. And Madame Stein - it is good to see you again." Phoebe Wanejaw's face appeared on the screen, clad in an industrial white outfit marked with a blue symbol, depicting the head of a wolf. "Ah, and Mr. Branwen, as well. I apologize if I have interrupted anything."

"Not at all," replied Ozpin, though his kindlythought suddenly occurred to him, he frowned at the wolf Faunus. "Wait a sec, you're in Menagerie. How can you see what's going on halfway across the planet?"

Phoebe smiled, a wistful look coming over her face. "The Ghibli Forest is my domain - the place where I was born and nurtured. It is a part of myself - and as such, that is the form my Semblance has chosen to take. No matter where I am, that territory, and all things in it, are my eyes, my ears, and my weapons. Sadly, its reach ends at the forest's border, though I can still perceive some things if they are close enough.."

That's a pretty specific Semblance, Qrow thought. Still, at this point he was willing to take whatever he


stronger still if she'd had the privilege of attending a Huntsman school. Preferably Haven, but I suppose I'm biased."

Ozpin chuckled. "I'm afraid that path was not the one she was meant to take. Still, it's fortuitous that young Crowley found her when he did, or else we might in a entirely different position today."

That caught Qrow's attention. "Crowley?" he inquired. "You mean Crowley Cloake - that guy with the bow and arrow?"

"Of course." It was not Ozpin who answered him but Carnelia, finishing off her fifth bottle of the meal. Shockingly, her face had not turned the slightest shade of red. "He is one of the finest alumni Haven has produced in my time. Shortly after graduating, he ran into Phoebe during...well, during a mission, and I convincedhim to bring her into our order."

"...Oh. To be honest, I didn't think he was that good," Qrow muttered, though in hindsight it made sense. The guy was part of an ancient, top-secret order dedicated to protecting Remnant from the most vile evil ever to befall the world. It would be more surprising if Crowley weren't 'that good'.

Still, he couldn't help but notice the momentary scowl on the headmistress' face as she had uttered the word 'mission'. What's that all about?

"Now that was an interesting four years," Carnelia went on, continuing to reminiscence of times long past. "Team CHRN - Crowley Cloake, Winona Highlander, Miriam Risotto, and Flare Nebula. They were a fine team, no question about it. Gave me several migraines and possibly an aneurysm once, but


will be all we need to use it."

The headmaster of Beacon shook his head slowly. "Foolish as it may be...I still hope it will never come to that." With that, he left the hall without another word.

Tensions were high from the start.

As the train roared down the railway, churning toward its destination, Tai fidgeted uncomfortably in his seat. Outside the window, he saw rows of lush green forests passing in and out of his view, with the main city barely visible in the distance. A cool breeze brushed against his face, and he could smell a faint aroma from the local flora.

Other than the grinding of the train against the tracks, there was no sound to entertain the Huntsman's ears. They had purchased tickets for an early train,in a carriage with no other passengers to disturb them. Though Tai appreciated the relative silence, it also meant the tension in the air was enough to make him choke.

His neck was hurting; he'd been staring out the window for basically the entire trip, not once moving his head. But Tai was willing to endure it. After all, right beside him sat a notorious criminal and murderer, who was a full head above him, and had muscular arms that could probably rip an Ursa Major in half.

"So," Tai said, hoping his voice sounded courteous enough. "You really are Rae and Birdy's cousin, huh?"

"...That is correct." Fenrir did not turn to face him (which was perfectly fine with Tai), but simply gave a curt nod to Raven, who sat


very existence seemed to have vanished into insignificance. "Luka knew - or rather, he learned - an important secret about this world. I do not know how he came across it, or when, but Ragna told me that he was never the same since. And it was around then that he became fully obsessed with decoding the many truths of Remnant.

"Part of that truth I'm fairly sure you know by now. About Ozpin, and his Huntsmen's eternal war against Salem, a being of pure malice. But Luka was able to burrow deeper into this secret side of history, and he discovered something earth-shattering - a secret that could affect all of Remnant, forever."

"...And what secret would that be?" Raven's gaze was fixated on her cousin now.

"That, I dotell you."

Raven immediately tensed. That had certainly caught her attention. She said nothing, but gave a curt nod to signify that she was listening.

"Simply put, he despises us," Fenrir continued. "The Branwens embody everything that he considers foul and disgusting in the world. He loathes us, because we maintain the traditions of our people. He resents us, because we possess strength that he was never given. And he hates your father most of all.

He sighed, flashing a weary smile at Raven. "More than anything, Luka must have believed that crushing his brother's tribe - or rather, make it destroy itself - would pain him more than a thousand battle scars. The chief values his tribe - his family - greatly...as do I, of course."

A moment of silence, that


seemed to go down his back every time he spoke. He glanced at Raven, but the dark Huntress' expression was unreadable.

After what seemed like an eternity, the train arrived at the station. Thank you for travelling with us, came the soothing voice. We hope to see you again soon. "You too," Tai muttered weakly as the three of them exited the vehicle. Despite everything, there was a slight tinge of happiness in his heart at the thought of visiting the famously beautiful Kingdom of Mistral.

Unfortunately, Fenrir was giving them no chance of taking in the sights and attractions, as the moment they were off the train he had them follow him out of the city, and into the nearby forests.

As they walked, Tai silently channeled some Dust intohis arms, just to be safe. Out here, they were alone, just the two of them with a notorious murderer who could probably rip him in half with his bare hands. He was a full-fledged Huntsman now - he had to be ready for battle at all times.

Eventually, Fenrir stopped. "We should be close enough now." He turned to Raven, holding out his hand. "Your blade...may I have it for a moment?" Quietly, the Huntress handed over the crimson katana.

Tai audibly gulped as he saw the giant hold the sword in his hands, as a gleam of sunlight radiated off its edge and momentarily blinded him. His heart raced as Fenrir raised the katana, but thankfully all he did was swing it at the air, generating the swirling


meet."

Canary scowled, his eyes not meeting the giant's gaze. "Y-yeah, like that's gonna happen. And what exactly do you have to offer him anyway, huh? ...Wait." He shifted his view to where Raven and Tai stood behind Fenrir.. "Who are these two? And that girl...she looks like-"

"What's going on here?" An unfamiliar voice interrupted him. At the sound of it, all the tribesmen immediately tensed up and stepped to the side, leaving a path open for a single man to approach the trio. "Ch-chief!" Canary stammered, saluting as he walked by.

If Fenrir was a giant, then this other person was a veritable colossus - the type only ever seen in myths... or perhaps in nightmares. Every trace of his massive body radiated unmatchable power, and his very presenceseemed to give off a suffocating aura, that made Tai realize he was literally shaking in his boots. The man was handsome, but in an otherworldly, almost terrifying way. And though, if one were to muster enough courage to look him in the eyes, his face had several noticeable wrinkles, he could have been decades, centuries, or eons old and it wouldn't have mattered.

And finally...the man had long black hair and crimson-red eyes. The same as Qrow, Raven, and the other Branwens. This guy is...Tai thought nervously. He's not human…

"Fenrir," the chief growled. He frowned, though not angrily. "I thought I'd made my statement perfectly clear. You were to never come back, and now not only do you return, but you come with guests? I-" His eyes widened


video for his song "Yours." "We had no money, no budget, no nothing and we had been turned down, turned down, turned down."

That's when Kailey and Russell decided to take matters into their own hands.

"We're like, alright, we're going to do this on our own," he said, smiling at his wife, who joined the singer in the studio. "So we shot this music video for 'Yours' and if you watch it on YouTube, it's just me walking down a road and my wife is in my SUV just shooting out of the back and it just starts raining and there's lightning everywhere.

"It was this God moment, totally."

COUNTRY STAR JOSH TURNER ON FAITH-BASED ALBUM: IT'S A 'GOD-ORDAINED BLESSING'

Shortly after the video, which only cost $6 to make, was released,a country music industry exec got in touch with Dickerson and that's when everything "snowballed into this perfect storm" and "put me on the map."

Now, the 31-year-old is riding high off of the success of his third single, "Every Little Thing," which he wrote about his wife.

"It is about my wife and all the little quirky things that I love about her," the crooner gushed. "There's a line in the song that says, 'She's Seattle and Sonoma, runs on coffee and red wine.' [It's] one of my favorite lines of the song."

Dickerson said he wrote his first record shortly after tying the knot with his college sweetheart so the album reflects their "newlywed phase."

The two have been married for five years but now that Dickerson's career is taking


off, they are committed to setting aside alone time.

"You just have to fight for your time alone and for her to come out on the road, in the beginning, was really hard because our schedules were so crazy," he said. "You just have to fight for staying together....that's the most important just staying together as much as possible."

The Dickersons' schedules are about to get even busier as the singer kicked off his tour with fellow artist Carly Pearce. In the summer, he's also touring with singer Thomas Rhett, with whom he will perform at Madison Square Garden — a career highlight for Dickerson.

Music

Apple stole a march on the competition early last decade with its introduction of the iTunes music store. Digital music distribution up to that point had been conducted almost entirely via illegal file sharing and people hadn't yet become accustomed to paying for downloads. iTunes, buoyed by the phenomenally popular iPod, was the one big-name platform to succeed in cracking that market, and everyone has been catching up ever since.

Amazon's MP3 store emulates iTunes with a web-based interface — eschewing the need for


Google's plight with Google TV has been an instructive example of that, with content providers actively keeping their content off Google's connected set-top box. Apple isn't doing too much better with Apple TV, adding the dedicated MLB, NBA, and NHL channels, but mostly relying on the iTunes store to satisfy people's multimedia needs.

It'll take time for video on demand to coalesce into the same sort of maturity as music, and until then we'll have to deal with a smattering of different service providers (a lot of them overlapping in the content they offer), multiplicities of pricing tiers and subscription options, and a bunch of international inconsistencies.

First, 2 trials of 20-second baseline EEG data were recorded. Experimenters were encouraged to push baseline recordings to 1 minute if participants were calm and cooperative. During baseline recording, a glowing globe toy was presented out of participants' reaching distance to attract their attention and minimize body movements. Second, a toy that each participant was interested in was presented in front of them, within reach at midline, encouraging them to reach in 20-second duration. This served as the reaching condition.

On June 22, 2011, I attended a meeting of the D.C. Taxi Commission for a story I'm currently working on about a proposed medallion system in the district.

About 30 minutes into the meeting, I witnessed journalist Pete Tucker snap a still photo of the proceedings on his camera phone. A few minutes later, two police officers arrested Tucker. I filmed Tucker's arrest and the audience's subsequent outrage using my cell phone.

A few minutes later, as I was attempting to leave the building, I overheard the female officer who had arrested Tucker promise a woman, who I presumed to be an employee of the Taxi Commission, that she would confiscate my phone. Reason intern Kyle Blaine, overheard her say, "Do you want his phone? I can get his phone."

(Thewoman who was given assurances by the officer that she could have my phone can be seen at the end of the video telling me, "You do not have permission to record this!")

As I tried to leave, I was told by the same officer to "stay put." I told her I was leaving and attempted to exit the building. I was then surrounded by officers, and told to remain still or I would be arrested.

I didn't move, but I tried to get the attention of a group of cab drivers who were standing nearby. At this point I was arrested.

I spent the remainder of the day in a cell in the basement of the building. In the late afternoon, I was released.

take one pill every twenty‑four hours, or two, but she failed
to follow either of these instructions.
Her grandmother testified that Robin took two Ambien after filling the
prescription and two more later the same day.
She testified that the next day, Robin took two more in the morning
before taking an overdose that afternoon.
The CPS caseworker, Christy Stewart, testified that Robin said she took
ten Ambien pills.      After a charcoal
lavage was administered to Robin to induce vomiting and her obstetrician was
called, labor was induced.  It does not
appear that the Ambien overdose harmed E.A.W.S.

When informed that E.A.W.S. would be removed from
her, Robin told  Stewart that she had
tried to kill herself, but not the baby, with the Ambien, and that her plan had
been for her family to get her to the hospital in timeby
Victoria and her spouse.  Campbell, the
CPS supervisor on the case, recommended termination of any rights David might
have and testified that it was her understanding that David was in agreement
with that plan.

The State filed its original petition on January
20, 2005.  Termination of both Robin=s and
David=s
parental rights was listed in the original pleadings. Trial was originally set
for December 8, 2005, announced at the July 21, 2005 permanency hearing, at
which time the State also announced that it would not be seeking termination of
parental rights, but would instead seek to place managing conservatorship with
a relative.
At the November 10, 2005 permanency hearing, the
State announced that it would seek termination of parental rights at trial,
rather than permanent placement with relatives.[18]  The termination trial date was rescheduled at
the November hearing for March 14, 2006.
However, the


trial judge denied the motion.

At the time of the termination trial, E.A.W.S.
was living with Victoria, who testified about her concerns with regard to Robin=s
emotional stability and safety and financial ability to provide for E.A.W.S.[20]  Robin had refused to take some of her
medication[21]
and had failed to take the rest with regularity.  When not medicated, she became aggressive,
had extreme mood swings, and was easily agitated.  She failed to attend the counseling set up by
CPS and a CPS drug assessment.  At trial,
several witnesses testified that Robin=s
behavior had not improved despite classes, therapy, counseling, and
medication.  Robin testified that she did
pay for and take some parenting and stress management classes on her own;
however, she admitted that she was still unable to take care of her children
and that she had been so frustrated byin the case.  He testified
during the hearing on his motion for new trial that he had received actual
notice of the final hearing through his family and that he had seen a petition
that concerned Robin, seeking to terminate her parental rights, but he also
said that Aevery time that I=ve
spoken with CPS and family members, this entire proceedings has been pertaining
to Robin and not me.@
The original and amended petitions each included a clause to terminate
David=s
parental rights.

On December 15, 2005, the date of the final
hearing, a bench trial, the trial court noted that David had been served with a
copy of the original petition.  Prior to
the opening of testimony, the court filed a typewritten, signed, witnessed, and
notarized affidavit from David.  The
affidavit bore David=s name and address at the top,
followed by the case


A case of rosiglitazone exposure in the second trimester of pregnancy.
Data about rosiglitazone use in pregnancy is limited. We aimed to present a pregnant woman who exposed to rosiglitazone in the second trimester and the fetal outcome. The case was a 42-year-old, multigravid Caucasian woman with a history of diabetes mellitus type II for 4 years prior to her current pregnancy. Her diabetes was managed by diet and exercise and she has not received any drug therapy until the 13th week of her sixth (present) and unplanned pregnancy. The case was exposed to rosiglitazone (4 mg/day) between 13th and 17th gestational weeks. After the diagnosis of pregnancy at the 17th week, rosiglitazone was stopped and insulin therapy was started. At the 37th week, she had a healthy maleabout. On Twitter, he also accused Modi’s government of creating a divide in the society on the basis of caste and community.

In his home state of Gujarat, Modi, who is from the OBC community, said the Congress operated in an ecosystem that worked on spreading “lies” against him and his government — first when he was the Gujarat chief minister and then when he moved to Delhi as the PM in 2014.

Modi also alleged that the previous United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government at the Centre tried to hurt Gujarat and falsely implicated Amit Shah, now the president of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

they rejected their own fathers. This was due to their poor relationships with their fathers, or due to their father’s absence, or due to their rebellion against their fathers.20 Along this line of research, it would be interesting to consider the effect that the death of friends and family has had on the rejection of God. From Charles Darwin to Ted Turner the death of friends and family has played a part.

Gary Wolf noted,

“contrary to myth, Darwin did not become an atheist because of evolution. Instead, his growing resistance to Christianity came from his moral criticism of 19th-century doctrine, compounded by the tragedy of his daughter’s death.”13,21

The Associated Press reported on an interview with Ted Turner published in The New Yorker:

“CNN founder Ted Turner was suicidal after thebreakup of his marriage to Jane Fonda and his loss of control of Turner Broadcasting … his marriage to Fonda broke up partly because of her decision to become a practicing Christian … “Turner is a strident non-believer, having lost his faith after his sister, Mary Jane, died of a painful disease called systemic lupus erythematosus. ‘I was taught that God was love and God was powerful’, Turner said. ‘And I couldn’t understand how someone so innocent should be made or allowed to suffer so.’ … “He told The New Yorker ‘his father was often drunk, beat him and sent him to military school’ and committed suicide when Turner was 24 years of age.”22

Tony Snow, who was the White House Press Secretary in 2006/2007, and was a Christian,


view it becomes sensible to try and understand the world, and this is the fundamental reason science developed as it did in the Middle Ages in Christian Europe, culminating in the brilliant achievements of the seventeenth century.”69

So it is rather ironic today that many connect science with atheism. It is really a Christian enterprise.

Peter Harrison, Andreas Idreos Professor of Science and Religion at the University of Oxford, pointed out:

“It is commonly supposed that when in the early modern period individuals began to look at the world in a different way, they could no longer believe what they read in the Bible. In this book I shall suggest that the reverse is the case: that when in the sixteenth century people began to read the Bible in a differentso many other issues to make life better for every American family. That includes a plan to bring back the manufacturing jobs that form the backbone of the American Middle Class, and our country as a whole.

Pennsylvania has lost almost 40% of its manufacturing jobs since NAFTA – a deal signed by Bill Clinton and supported by Hillary Clinton. The City of Philadelphia has lost more than 1 in 3 of its manufacturing jobs since China joined the World Trade Organization – another Bill and Hillary-backed deal.

A Trump Administration will renegotiate NAFTA, and stand up to foreign product dumping, currency manipulation and unfair subsidy behavior. We are going to bring manufacturing and jobs, lots of jobs, back to Pennsylvania.

We are going to open modern mines, and take care

CLC (Hangul: 씨엘씨, acronym for “CrystaL Clear”) is a South Korean girl group formed by Cube Entertainment in 2015. The group consists of seven members: Seunghee, Yujin, Seungyeon, Sorn, Yeeun, Elkie, and Eunbin. Their debut EP First Love was released on March 19, 2015. CLC originally had five members, with two members, Elkie and Eunbin, added to the group in February 2016.

CLC made their official debut on March 19, 2015, with the EP, First Love, along with the title track “Pepe”. In April 2016, CLC released their first Japanese-language single, “High Heels”. To date CLC has released eight Korean EPs and two Japanese EPs.

The five original members of CLC (Seunghee, Yujin, Seungyeon, Sorn and Yeeun) made their first appearance as back-up dancers for G.NA in 2014. These featuredon their online reality show CLC’s Love Chemistry.

CLC debuted in 2015 with a five-member lineup of Seunghee, Yujin, Seungyeon, Sorn, and Yeeun. They made their debut music show performance on M Countdown. “Pepe” is a retro dance number written by Duble Sidekick and Yang Geng. Part of the song’s choreography was choreographed by Rain.

On April 16, CLC released a digital single titled “Eighteen”, described as a song about teenage love influenced by 1960s/70s motown and 1980s synthpop. They began promotions for the single the following day on Music Bank. Their second EP Question was released on May 28. Its lead single “Curious (Like)” was first performed on M Countdown. On October 10–11, CLC held their first overseas promotional tour in Malaysia entitled “First Love Promo Tour in Malaysia”.


For the tour, Universal Music Malaysia released an “Asia Special Edition” version of Question. The special version included tracks from First Love and Question, as well as the digital single “Eighteen”.

CLC’s third EP Refresh and its lead single “High Heels” were released on February 29, 2016. This marked the addition of two new members: Elkie Chong and Kwon Eunbin, a Cube Entertainment trainee who was also participating in Mnet’s girl group survival show Produce 101 at the time. Cube Entertainment stated that Eunbin had been part of the group’s original lineup, but was dropped following delays in production of the group’s debut album. Due to Produce 101 contractual restrictions, Eunbin was not able to promote the single “High Heels” on music shows or other broadcasts, nor appear inthe single’s music video. The agency planned for Eunbin to join promotions in the event that she was eliminated from the show, or else to postpone her activities as part of the group until after Produce 101 promotions if she was a winner. On February 29, a short version of the “High Heels” music video that included Elkie but omitted Eunbin was released. The full version of the music video, including Eunbin, was released on March 21.

CLC made their Japanese debut on April 13 with the release of their first Japanese EP, High Heels. The album includes the Japanese version of “Pepe”, “First Love”, “Like”, “High Heels”, and a cover of Kylie Minogue’s “I Should Be So Lucky”.

On May 12, CLC launched their official Naver V App channel,


followed by a broadcast of Eunbin’s first live appearance with the group. The group released their fourth Korean EP Nu.Clear on May 30, with the title track “No Oh Oh” written by Shinsadong Tiger. CLC carried out album promotions as a seven-member group in June. On July 27, CLC released their second Japanese EP, Chamisma. The EP peaked at #9 on the Oricon Daily Albums Chart, making it their first release to enter the Top 10 of the Oricon chart.

On January 9, CLC held their first solo Japan fanmeeting at Tower Records in Tokyo. On January 17, 2017, CLC released their fifth Korean EP, Crystyle.

CLC held their third anniversary concert “Black Dress” on April 1. It was a donation-based, charity concert where attendees made donations to a Diabetes Association. CLC held a CLC Live Show In Hong Kong 2018 – Black Dress concert at Macpherson Stadium in Hong Kong on July 20.

On 17 November, CLC was named the ambassador to the “Korea Insulin Dependent Diabetes Association”.

On January 30, CLC released their eighth EP, No.1, with the title track “No”. “No” is produced and written by label-mate Jeon So-yeon and co-written by Yeeun.

As much as the US (and for that matter, Texas) spends on "border security," the sum is dwarfed by the vast value of goods crossing the border in both directions. The economy benefits most by expanding the flow of goods, services, and arguably labor crossing the border in both directions.

(In either case, the costs are later reimbursed through energy sales.) California Public Utilities Code section 399.25, as interpreted by respondent California Public Utilities Commission (PUC), permits a requirement that the public utility pay the up-front costs. The issue in this case is whether PUC's interpretation has been preempted by federal law. We conclude that it has. Accordingly, on a petition for a writ of review filed by SCE,


It would be irresponsible to start building if a new development on Wellington harbour goes ahead, a climate scientist says.

Photo: RNZ /SUPPLIED

Victoria University professor James Renwick said the development at Shelly Bay was very close to sea level, and would be prone to frequent flooding.

However, co-developer The Wellington Company said it realised the sea level would rise, and was designing the development accordingly.

The development at Shelly Bay had its resource consent quashed at the end of last year, after being opposed by local businesses and residents through the courts.

The resource consent process will be worked through with the council again.

Dr Renwick said he was concerned by the development being close to sea level.

"This tiny little coastal strip with steep hills in behind, with the way sea levels aredesign of the development.

"We are ensuring and we are requiring every building to have an elevated ground floor. In the townhouses and individual houses they would be able to have a garage at the existing ground level, but all habitable rooms have to be elevated."

He said it might be that later on the road would need to be raised, but that would be necessary on many parts of the city's coast, as sea levels rose.

The development also included fixing sea walls to prevent the ocean coming in.

In the mid-1980s, two decades before social media began fattening us with its empty-calorie buffet of human connection, a small cohort of lesbians settled a 50-acre parcel of wooded farmland on the edge of Camel's Hump State Park in Vermont. Known as Huntington Open Women's Land, or simply HOWL, this community followed in the footsteps of the back-to-the-land movement, rejecting capitalism and the patriarchy in favor of a life of rugged simplicity.

In the '70s and '80s, "women's lands" like HOWL began cropping up all around the country, drawing thousands of feminist homesteaders who were either gay, fed up with men or both.


More recently, the women's land movement has attracted a spate of media attention, purportedly for failing to translate its principles to a generation that no longer views gender as a fixed biological fact.

The headline of a 2016 Vice article asked, "Who's Killing the Women's Land Movement?" as if some perpetrator were on the loose. This August, a New York Times story about HOWL framed the issue with slightly more tact: "Why Doesn't Anyone Want to Live in This Perfect Place?" Earlier this month, Openly, an LGBTQ media outlet sponsored by the UK-based Thomson Reuters Foundation, featured HOWL in a story titled, a bit sensationally, "Evolve or Die: The Stark Choice Facing America's 'Women's Lands.'" The dateline of that story misidentified Huntington as "Hamilton," which somehow seems symptomatic ofPike

Notebook at HOWL

A decade ago, HOWL had as many as six residents at a time living in the farmhouse and the barn, back when the latter was still structurally sound. Today, the HOWL population is one and a half, making it less of a commune than a homeshare. Meg Mass, who works full time at Philo Ridge Farm in Charlotte, rents a room in the farmhouse in exchange for $350 a month and caretaking duties. The other groundskeeper, Robin Baldwin, who can sometimes be spotted traipsing around the premises with a scythe, lives in her Toyota Tacoma until the temperature dips below 20 degrees.

Mass, 47, has a contagious giggle and magenta hair. (Confusingly, one of the other workshop participants, a 41-year-old documentary filmmaker from Montréal named Magenta, had


articulated set of goals. One of its founders, Glo Daley, remains active in HOWL as president of the collective; today, at 79, she's the oldest member of the board and the only one who was around at the very beginning.

"There were a few of us who thought it would be a good idea to have land where you could just hang out naked and not get bossed around by men," Daley told me. "If you look at the smartest animals, they travel in large groups of females. They keep one or two males around just for sperm."

HOWL's founders, who called themselves the Grandmother Council, were predominantly lesbians. But they didn't aim to establish a strictly dyke enclave, unlike some of the more radical separatist factions that sprang uparound the same time. These Edens-sans-Adam ranged from women-only music festivals and micropublishing outfits to the Van Dykes, a nomadic troupe of vegan lesbians who, according to a 2009 profile in the New Yorker by Ariel Levy, "shaved their heads, avoided speaking to men unless they were waiters or mechanics, and lived on the highways of North America for several years, stopping only on Women's Land."

Compared to the Van Dykes, the early HOWLers were fairly moderate in their objectives: They sought to create a refuge for all women, regardless of whether they identified as lesbian. In those years, lesbianism signified a political ideology as much as a sexual orientation, a commitment to dismantling the effects of the male gaze. The


the start. In an April 1986 article in Out in the Mountains, an LGBTQ newspaper published in Vermont from 1986 to 2007, cofounder Alverta Perkins wrote, "A lot of women don't even know what they want from the land yet. They just want the land to happen."

A December 1986 HOWL newsletter offers a glimpse of some of the things that did, eventually, happen: a tepee-raising workshop; a forum on the topics of bisexuality, difference and boy children; and a "no-voice" weekend for hearing-impaired women. In late 1988, after four years of phonathons, fund drives and denied grant applications, the collective managed to purchase 50 of the 195 acres. Shortly thereafter, Daley took up residence in the barn and became HOWL's first caretaker.

Photo from theword "lesbian" has acquired a passé bluntness within certain circles. A 2016 Slate essay by Christina Cauterucci unpacked its gradual disappearance from the lexicon: "In most young, urban queer communities, at least, lesbian, in its implication of a cisgender woman to cisgender woman ("cisgender" meaning someone whose gender identity aligns with their sex at birth) arrangement, is both inaccurate and gauche," she wrote. Like Cauterucci, my friends and I prefer the more plastic "queer," which reflects a broader range of lived experience and resists the coupling of sexual orientation and gender.

But the transition from "lesbian" to "queer" also represents the erasure of a particular culture. In the same Slate issue, the feminist author and scholar Bonnie J. Morris decried the tacit ageism of de-identification: "The fearless Amazon generation


that built an entire network of lesbian music festivals, albums, bookstores, bars, presses, production companies, publications, and softball teams is teetering on the brink of oblivion, just gray-haired enough to be brushed aside with an impatient 'good riddance' by younger activists, yet too recent a movement to enjoy critical historical acclaim."

Lesbian communities, whose existence is largely predicated on a binary understanding of gender, have struggled to adapt to the new queer zeitgeist. In the '70s and '80s, the peak of the women's land movement, some 150 intentional communities were scattered across the country. In 2000, the biennially published Shewolf's Directory of Wimmin's Lands and Lesbian Communities — "wimmin" being one of several variations on "women" that eschew the "men" suffix — listed just 69. In 2015, the Michiganwas visiting HOWL the weekend I was there, said that greater mainstream acceptance has made her feel invisible to both the lesbian and non-lesbian public. Jewels primarily lives in her green Chevy Express van with her feline companion, Little Buddy, but she occasionally spends periods of time in Burlington; recently, she did a stint as HOWL's caretaker. Over the years, particularly in and around Burlington, she's detected a troubling lack of mutual recognition within the gay women's community.

"There used to be this special handshake when you saw another dyke on the street — just a look, like, 'I see you,'" she said. "Now, we don't acknowledge each other."

The idea of queerness — summed up by Cauterucci as everyone "not cis straight men" — contains a world of identities


out their neck wild to black and brown people. That's not my ministry."

The denizens of women's lands were — and still are — predominantly white, with access to transportation and the means to support themselves while living off the grid. Modern schools of queer feminist thought, which emphasize intersectionality, have criticized the movement's colonial overtones and appropriation of indigenous traditions.

Both the women's liberation and gay rights movements have historically been fraught with racism and exclusivity. Trans women of color played a pivotal role in the 1969 Stonewall riots, the landmark protest that sparked the gay rights movement in America. But many of the second-wave feminists who staked out land for their penis-free utopias, including some of HOWL's founders, have refused to recognize that trans women are, in fact,arrived. They had driven up from Worcester, Mass., to see Big Thief play at Higher Ground in South Burlington. When they reserved a campsite at HOWL through the online platform Hipcamp, they said, they had no idea that HOWL was a lesbian paradise. As soon as they entered the room, the mood became noticeably bouncier, as if we'd all taken a hit from a helium tank — a side effect of being surrounded, in three dimensions, by other queer people.

Later that evening, we sat around a campfire as Lisa Scanlon, the workshop leader, read aloud a passage from Estés' book that admonished women to respect their bodies by not dietetically diminishing or surgically altering them. Twenty-eight-year-old Lily Fender, visiting for the weekend from Boston, made a disapproving noise.


after all. If I couldn't lean in to screaming on a hilltop under an almost-full moon, surrounded by queer women, I don't know what I can possibly commit to.

The next day, I hiked Camel's Hump with Fender, who had recently downgraded from an iPhone to a bricky LG flip phone as part of a larger effort to escape the tyranny of constant connectedness. She told me that she had learned about HOWL after reading the New York Times article this past summer, and her initial plan had been to scout it out as a potential camping location for her friend's queer hiking group. But over the course of the weekend, she'd begun to entertain the idea of a farming stint at HOWL after her seasonal gardening job endsnamed Hong Seo-Jung (Go Joon-Hee) who is a psychic medium. They both live a lonely life. One day Kang Pil-Sung discovers Hong Seo-Jung’s special abilities and they both decide to use their abilities to solve various investigation cases.

Korean drama “Confession” will revolve around Choi Do Hyun (Lee Junho) who will become a lawyer to bring justice to his father. During his childhood he went through a heart transplant and upon growingbed, trembling like a leaf, as he withdrew his hand.

‘Every time with this shit!’ He leaned in close to her face and stared straight into her eyes. ‘Do you even love me?’ He sounded so wounded, so lost, like she had ripped his very heart out.

‘Of course I do.’ Her voice was small compared to his giant.

‘Then what’s the problem?’ he asked, innocently trailing his hands up her body.

She didn’t want him to, but she loved him, but she didn’t want him to. But his hands were soft and strong, but she still didn’t want him to.

He tried to kiss her. She twisted her head away, nose planted firmly into the pillow. His lips sealed and seared on her neck. She shuddered in a rattling breath.

‘Why can’t we be like that?’ he asked, poking her playfully in the side.

They were watching a movie on his TV, at his house, laying on his bed. His arms like bands around her. The couple on screen was cuddling happy in white sheets in a haze of post orgasmic bliss. Their smiles painted on their faces in ways that only an actor’s brushwork could achieve.

She looked up at him to see that he was smiling softly at her. It was a joke. It was always a joke. She smiled at him and dragged her eyes back to the screen, silently thankful to the world that the couple theresay that he wanted her to hang around his friends more.

He did not look impressed, his smile almost a sneer as he spoke. ‘Aren’t your friends going to be missing you?’

‘Um…’ She looked away from him, down to the ground, giving a submissive nod. ‘Yeah, I guess. I’ll be in the library.’ Her voice was meek, quiet, afraid. She didn’t want another fight.

‘Aren’t you always?’ he laughed.

She drew in a breath and gave him the best smile she could muster, then turned around, and walked back to her place.

Another sunny day lit up the grass on the fields. Surrounded by people. Surrounded by friends. Surrounded by light. It was a good day. He held her hand, and she his. They talked


together. They laughed and kissed, and everyone called them cute.

She let go of his hand to take a drink and turned to talk to a friend. She and the friend talked about tea, and chocolate, and books they’ve both read. He looked on and grew cold. She laughed with the friend, and he walked away. She looked after him with concern. But her friend asked her a question, and she responded.

i spend days guessing, not knowing what you want

then days cursing myself for knowing all along that I cannot give

but you want and want and want

He came back when it was time to go and he grasped her hand again, so tight now that it hurt. Her friend walked on in front of them, and she turned toat her, eyes slightly burning with a small spark of the annoyance, of that anger.

‘Oh,’ she looked down in embarrassment. ‘Sorry.’

i try to run, you always catch me

wrap your hands around me, drag me back to you and kiss me

i dread the marks you’ll leave

The sun was out by midday. They walked across the field. His arm was around her waist as they laughed together, playfully pushing each other. She tilted her head up in a laugh and saw a sky as blue as his eyes. She looked into those eyes that were smiling at her, and fell in love again.

She buried her face in his neck and he laughed, stroking her waist with a thumb, bringing his other hand to wrap around her, resting his palm on


her back. Stopping, they looked at each other, smiling like fools, like they were in love. The moment, theirs. The world, theirs. This love, theirs.

They heard her friends calling her over, and the spell was broken as his expression soured.

She smiled at him apologetically. ‘I’ll be quick. They said they wanted to talk to me.’

He offered no response. He simply let go of her.

She missed the pressing warmth instantly, but she turned and began to jog towards her friends.

‘Oh no you don’t,’ is all the warning she got before arms ensnared her and pulled her back with a sharp tug.

The wind rushed out and the world was knocked off kilter. She stumbled back into him and he held fast, turning her around so fast she could feel theHATE BEYOND『VERGE OF DEATH』Chinese Edition CD

FGM, the partial or total removal of external female genitalia, is a tradition practised widely in many African and Muslim countries and often justified as a means of suppressing a woman's sexual desire to prevent "immoral" behaviour.

Around 103,000 women aged between 15 and 49, and another 10,000 girls aged under 15 who have migrated to England and Wales are estimated to have undergone FGM, according to a report on Tuesday from City University London.

Worldwide, more than 130 million girls and women have undergone FGM and more than 700 million women alive today were children when they were married.

FGM has been a criminal offence in Britain since 1985 but new legislation in 2003 introduced a maximum prison sentence of 14 years. The 2003 act also made it an offence for British citizens to carry out or procure FGM abroad, even in countries where the practice is legal.

In an automobile, an air conditioning system controls the interior temperature. When the interior temperature reaches a comfortable level during cool down, one of the first adjustments typically made to the climate control settings is adjusting the air outlet registers to deflect the stream of air to avoid direct impingement of the stream of air on the bodies of the driver and passengers. As the air conditioning system further cools the interior space of the automobile, the blower speed and the temperature settings are adjusted along with subsequent adjustments of the air outlet vane orientation to maintain comfort without concentrated impingement of air on the driver or other occupants. It is desirable to control the interior environment to avoid direct impingement of the stream of air on the2000 and 2006, Casseus had two such vascular crises. (Rainsford Decl. ¶ 19.)

C. Casseus Requests Leave and Verizon Begins Surveillance
On November 27, 2006, Casseus told Eileen Capriotti, an Absence Administrator at the Wantagh facility, that he had to be absent from work because he was having trouble with his foot and ankle. (Def.'s 56.1 ¶ 4.) Almost immediately, Capriotti notified John Scuteri, the supervisor of the Wantagh facility, of Casseus's leave request and suggested that Verizon begin surveillance on Casseus. According to Capriotti, she requested surveillance because Casseus had taken leave during the same time of year in 2002, four years prior, and thus she suspected that Casseus could be fraudulently requesting leave. (Def.'s 56.1 ¶ 10; Pl.'s Opp. 56.1 ¶ 10.) Surveillance began on November 30, 2006.


attempted to conduct surveillance on Casseus beginning November 30. The surveillance team did not observe Casseus that day. Nor did it observe Casseus during approximately nine hours of surveillance of his home on December 12. (See Brener Decl. Ex. N.)
On December 19, 2006, however, the surveillance team observed Casseus standing and walking in the parking lot in front of his home for approximately 25 minutes. Casseus went back inside for a time and was then observed driving himself to two different banks over an approximately 45-minute period. At times, Casseus walked with a limp and sometimes carried a cane. (See id.) The surveillance team videotaped Casseus's activities. (See id. Ex. O.)
The next day, the surveillance team observed Casseus walk out of his home using a cane. He gotinto a car with an unidentified female. With Casseus driving, the car went to a nearby Burger King drive through and then traveled to Darien, Connecticut. In Darien, Casseus stopped at a Mobil station and used the self-service gas pump to fuel the vehicle. The car then traveled to Clinton, Connecticut where it stopped at the Clinton Crossing Premium Outlets. There, Casseus got out of the car with his female companion and, with a noticeable limp, walked from the parking lot to the stores. (See Brener Decl. Exs. N; O.) Again, the surveillance team obtained video of Casseus's activities. (See id. Ex. O.) At this point, the surveillance team lost sight of Casseus. When the team returned to the parking lot 13 minutes after Casseus had been seen


before it had officially approved him for FMLA leave. Although Verizon asserts that it had detected a possible "pattern" of absence by plaintiff because plaintiff had requested leave during the same time of year four years before, a Verizon witness also indicated that a four-year gap is not typically indicative of a "pattern." (See Keating Dep. 9:23-11:25.) Second, plaintiff notes that Capriotti made a series of calls to plaintiff early on in his absence and made an unannounced visit to plaintiff's house before surveillance had revealed any basis for believing that plaintiff was abusing his leave. (See Brener Decl. Ex. E.) Third, even after he was ordered to return to work on January 29, 2007, plaintiff gave Capriotti a note from his doctor, stating that Casseus's return tostating that "Casseus acknowledged he performed all of the activities that he was observed doing while surveillance was conducted on December 19, 2006 and December 20, 2006. Casseus told Security that he went to his wife's family house in Connecticut[;] however he did not recall how long he was there." (Brener Decl. Ex. P.) Viewed in a light most favorable to plaintiff, this statement simply acknowledges that he was the person seen on the video.[11] In sum, the record contains no evidence that Casseus acknowledged fraudulently requesting leave; rather, the record reflects that Casseus, even after being ordered to return to work, maintained that his sickle cell anemia and ulcers made it difficult to get to work everyday and took vacation days to treat his wounds.[12]

The district court granted the employer summary judgment, and the Second Circuit affirmed, holding that the plaintiff had not shown she was substantially limited in a major life activity. 135 F.3d at 871-72. The court recognized that the plaintiff's colitis was a severe impairment when it was symptomatic and that it would affect the plaintiff for the rest of her life. However, the plaintiff acknowledged that she could go years without experiencing symptoms of her colitis and that her colitis symptoms varied in intensity and generally occurred only in the summer months. Thus, the duration of the impairment and the expected long-term impact of the impairment weighed against finding that the plaintiff was substantially limited.

We've seen this before: A band that only had a few hits or memorable songs gets nominated and even inducted into the Hall.

But have we seen this before? A band that has only three tunes, and all three are absolutely horrific? And all three have been featured in 7.4 million movies since their release?

"Spill The Wine," which reached No. 3 on the Billboard charts, wields a repetitive Burdon-sung refrain that's not unlike the ball in "Phantasm" ripping through my brain.

The instrumental "Lowrider" makes me think of stale reefer, New York streets that smell like hotdog water and everything that was wrong and ugly about the '70s. In other words, a window into


least five times. Also, be on the lookout around the five-minute mark for his preposterous backup vocals while Eddie Vedder, Hall suits and other nerds dance around in the background. The only thing worse was Billie Joe's nasally, holier-than-thou induction speech, which came right before his public bedcrapping. If you can get through it, you're a better man than me.

Like a poker in someone's fireplace.

Why this is really bad: This makes it a mortal lock that Green Day will get in with the class of 2014.

Silver lining: Note bassist Mike Watt, who was playing bass for The Stooges at the time but, of course, was one-third of the legendary Minutemen, in the back to the left of Iggy Pop. This is the closest the Minutemen will ever comeget more selective, committing to picking only the best of the rest to make the Hall a hallowed place.
Nope. In fact, the class of 1987 more than doubled the first year's group of enshrined. The judges even tried to get a two-for-one with the ace songwriting duo of Leiber and Stoller.

Therefore, we have to start chopping real performers along with some of the non-performers. And no longer is it a one-chop-per year rule. The highlight of this year's class is Eddie "Summertime Blues" Cochran. Yeah, he influenced a "look," but so did Geraldo. Yeah, he influenced Paul McCartney, John Lennon and the early Beatles, but so did pills and that weird German couple. Yeah, he was a guitar hero, but so is Joe Satriani. Yeah, he got The

Why he can be trusted to make the cool choices: He directed the rad doc "The U.S. vs. John Lennon" and "The Night James Brown Saved Boston" Why he can't be trusted to make the cool choices: Based on his resume, he seems to only work with artists in the classic rock realm, including many projects on the Beatles and Beach Boys. Those are two amazing bands, but all his focus is on stuff from before 1980. He also wrote a book about the Beenotes that Buck and Stipe's first discussion was about Patti Smith. Erg...

Most telling moment: Vedder joins them to perform "Man On The Moon." Why was this song even chosen? And why did he choose to perform on it? And why is he so pumped up while doing it?

Most telling moment #2: The Rock Hall doesn't even list Vedder as the presenter for R.E.M. on their site. Then again, it is the Rock Hall, and they don't even list The Replacements as inductees on their site.

In 2004, Prince and George Harrison made for a decent year, although CDNR's own Michael Anthony might disagree with the latter. The rest of the pu-pu platter consisted of ZZ Top, Jackson Browne, Traffic, The Dells and Bob Seger's still-warm cadaver.

That


year's ceremony will be most remembered-for an "all-star" tribute to George and his "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" that wasn't much of an all-star tribute to start, but mainly a pseudo-Wilburys reunion (Petty and Jeff Lynne Funk) and George's kid.

At about 3:30, you see Dhani look over to stage left with a mixture of excitement, awe and "holy shit this is going to happen!" He sees Prince strapping on his ax, and since he's doing it in the song's outro, you sort of have to wonder if he even planned to jump on stage in the first place. But he does, and what happens next is Rock Hall history.

Prince unfurls one of the greatest rock solos in the history of music, and in the process does all ofthese things at once:

- Makes the old comparisons to Hendrix become more than just a blind bullshit racial thing. Yes, they're both black, but they also shred like mofos.

- Somehow makes Tom Petty seem whiter and limper when he falls back into the crowd while still soloing right in Mr. Into The Great Wide Open's face (4:51).

Reinventing the Left

Towards a New Anti-Capitalist Politics

Humanity finds itself at an inflexion point. On the one hand, global capitalism is producing and aggravating a series of existential crises that may well undermine the very preconditions for a dignified human life—or any form of human life—on this planet. On the other, the only political force that could possibly do something to counter this inexorable drive towards catastrophe—the international left—has long since been run into the ground by a four-decade neoliberal offensive, leaving its social base fragmented and atomized, its organizational structures in tatters.

In the wake of this world-historic defeat, we are confronted on a daily basis with the devastating consequences of our contemporary powerlessness. Far from retreating in the wake of the global financial crisis of 2008-‘09, neoliberalism hasdefensive and self-limiting localism.

It is the weakness of our clenched fist and the paucity of our collective imagination, far more than the “natural laws” of their invisible hand, that now makes the end of the world appear more likely than the end of capitalism.

And so we are left, on the one hand, with the ossified and bureaucratized remnants of a defunct 20th century socialism, wholly subsumed within the stultifying boredom and counter-revolutionary circuitry of bourgeois parliamentarism; and on the other with a disoriented multitude full of revolutionary passion, yet struggling to channel its intense collective outrage and its immense social creativity into a coherent and transformative political project.

Faced with the overwhelming power of capital and the escalating violence of the state, stuck between the institutional inertia of the
