my interest in education, creating a culture where learning and knowledge is a valuable commodity," Zelizer said. "I remember my grandfather, who also was a rabbi, used to say that being a professor and a rabbi is basically the same thing in terms of learning and teaching."

Zelizer said he learned about the "excitement and challenges" of working at a university through his mother, and observed how to educate and engage an audience by watching his father give sermons.

Political history

While Zelizer got his first taste for academia through his family, his undergraduate studies at Brandeis University convinced him to make it his career. Zelizer won a Ford Foundation fellowship in his junior year for students considering a career in education, which allowed him to work on an in-depth projectwith a faculty mentor.

Jim Kloppenberg, now the David Woods Kemper '41 Professor of American History at Harvard University, advised Zelizer's project on liberalism in 20th-century Massachusetts politics. The experience not only excited him about a life in academics, but it also cemented his focus on political history.

Zelizer earned his Ph.D. in history from Johns Hopkins University in 1996, where he worked with Professor of History Lou Galambos. Zelizer credits Galambos with helping him to think about how to study the history of institutions and to improve his prose to reach both academic and public audiences.

Since then Zelizer has used the prism of the past to look at contemporary political issues. He believes that history is central to the real world of politics, and his research reveals that many


taught an undergraduate history seminar, "The Politics of National Security Since World War II," which examines the crucial role national security has played in contemporary American history from the Korean War to the war on terror. The class is based on Zelizer's research for one of his upcoming books, "Washington Warfare," tracing the history of national security since the 1940s and the interaction between issues of national security and domestic politics.

"We thought about how some of the issues today are not just related to President Bush or the war on terrorism, they are more deep-rooted questions this country has faced whenever we have a national security challenge because of the structure of our institutions and the political ideologies in this country," he said.

Yume Kitasei, a junior in theWilson School, said Zelizer's class offered a historical perspective that is often lacking from contemporary political discussions.

"Professor Zelizer's class has influenced the lens through which I view the 2008 election," Kitasei said. "The entire course was not only about how history shaped politics, but how politics shaped history, up through today. How both individuals and movements can influence U.S. policy and the world order."

Senior Sarah Breslow said Zelizer has shown her new ways to look at history as adviser for her thesis on conservative politics in New Jersey during the 1970s.

"When studying modern history, it is easy to jump to conclusions about how one personally thinks events would have worked out," Breslow said. "Professor Zelizer has encouraged me to take a step back, and take a look at


Sean Wilentz, the Sidney and Ruth Lapidus Professor in the American Revolutionary Era and professor of history; 20th-century American historian Kevin Kruse, associate professor of history; and Cotsen Postdoctoral Fellow Margot Canaday, who will join the history faculty in the fall and is the author of a book that will be published in a series Zelizer co-edited called "Politics and Society in 20th-Century America."

Zelizer said he hopes to expand the connections between history and politics already in place at the University. To this end, he is organizing a workshop on campus in April related to a book he is editing about the presidency of George W. Bush.

The workshop will feature scholars from various fields reviewing historians' essays from the book that examine issues of presidential power and politicaleconomy. The essays also explore American conservatism, a subject Zelizer has studied closely through co-writing "The Reagan Revolution" and co-editing "Rightward Bound: Making America Conservative in the 1970s," which are both forthcoming.

Political commentary

With the presidential election later this year, Zelizer also spends considerable time appearing in the media giving historical context and explaining how the pressing issues of the day may affect the election and the political direction of the country.

"Julian is a gifted communicator who can translate his scholarship into terms accessible to journalists and the general public," Schulman said of his former colleague. "He injects needed historical perspective into contemporary political debate."

Zelizer said the skills he's learned as a political commentator have helped him greatly in the classroom.

"I think a good interviewee is someone who is


events because it forces him to be always on top of the news.

"Since all my classes are about politics in one way or another, I can relate whatever we're learning to other stories in the news and bring in things that don't seem directly related for the students to discuss," he said.

Zelizer's role as a political pundit began a decade ago while teaching at the State University of New York-Albany, where he was a faculty member from 1996 to 2004.

The local CBS television station invited him to appear on a morning news show following a panel he organized about the impeachment of President Clinton. With the success of that appearance, Zelizer said he became the station's regular political expert, appearing live during the stalemate election night of 2000only detected at the root epidermis, suggesting minimal sulphate uptake into the root endodermis or that any sulphate taken up is transformed in the endodermis. In the epidermis there were also differences in the proportions of zinc sulphate in the RPZn treatment compared with the others. In the RPZn treatment, zinc sulphate appeared to be completely removed or transformed in the root epidermis and the proportion of zinc present as zinc phytate was higher compared with other treatments.

The percentage zinc oxalate in the root endodermis in the BZn and PZn treatments was significantly higher than in the RZn and the RPZn treatments. The highest percentage of phytate- and cysteine-bound zinc was observed in the endodermis of the PZn and RZn treatments, respectively. The percentage cysteine-bound Zn in RZn


sulphides, and in soils contaminated with emerging engineered nanomaterials such as ZnS. In both cases, zinc bioavailability is driven by oxidative dissolution (often driven by bacteria) of the sulphide to sulphate that acts as a source of sulphate for cysteine synthesis. It remains to be demonstrated therefore, whether a different mechanism would operate if zinc was supplied in forms other than sulphate.

The support of staff at the Centre Optical Instrumentation Laboratory (COIL), University ofSenators Tom Cotton and David Perdue, proponents of a bill to curb legal migration into the United States

I am a supporter of curbing illegal migration for management reasons that are not political. I will not support any decision to stop others, who want to come into the country legally, and who are unaffected by the temporary ban to keep the country safe. I believe that anything legal that does not contravene any acceptable law is a right that should not be taken away under any guise. The proposed bill by two members of the United States' Congress, Senators David Perdue and Tom Cotton, to cut legal migration into the country by half is the opposite of the campaign promise by President Donald Trump to curb illegal migration. Though,


there is a loud criticism by the opposition against curbing illegal migration, fulfilling the idea as promised during the campaigns by building a wall on the Southern border can hardly be faulted, but to add curbing legal migration will make the liberals say they have said so, and that the plan of this administration is to keep certain people away from the United States. And is already being said. It is catching on like bush fire in dry season. It is the major discussion among immigrants. The discussion about the proposed bill is not without uncertainty about their future in the U.S. And many people who don't know are saying it is the handiwork of the administration, unaware that the bill is a proposal by two senators andsome of its own ruling party members acting as destroyers. Still one of the same party members has floated a dangerous kite on curbing legal migration, and the president has embraced the dangerous idea. Undoubtedly, Trump needs friends and support, given the mammoth opposition from the liberals, he still needs to be circumspect in accepting ideas from his party members, whose commitment to his success can not be fully trusted, probably arising from their hard fought campaign and still requiring longer healing period. All that this administration should concern itself is lowering the number of illegal migrants, keeping dangerous migrants away and enhancing availability of employment for people to get jobs. Enhance learning of English for non-English migrants. Never use poverty as a reason to deny anyone eligibility,

Murray's call was enough to prompt tepid interest from the Eagles despite their agreement with former Chargers running back Ryan Mathews. Murray is flying to Philadelphia to meet with Eagles officials on Thursday, a league source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday night.

The obstacle for Murray signing with the Eagles still would be money, a source said, as Kelly has made it publicly and privately clear thatmetal detectors were placed at the entrances to the Temple Mount in the aftermath of Friday’s attack just outside the site in which terrorists killed two Border Police officers and then ran into the Temple Mount compound.Police shut down the Temple Mount for two days, but reopened it again on Sunday after setting up metal detectors.Muslim worshipers on Wednesday refused for the fourth consecutive day to enter the site to protest the installation of metal detectors, and instead prayed just outside the compound.Clashes broke out between Palestinians and police near Lions’ Gate on Wednesday evening, with the crowd growing as night fell.There are now metal detectors between the Lions’ Gate entrance to the capital’s Old City, and the Gate of the Tribes (Bab al-Asbat) entrance to the Temple

Police arrested one masked rioter who had a Molotov cocktail, she added.Violence also broke out on Tuesday night and early Wednesday between security personnel and Palestinians near Lions’ Gate.The violence began after the evening prayer and continued into the early morning. It is unclear what sparked the violence.According to Palestinian sources, 34 Palestinians have been reported injured among the hundreds of rioters near Lions’ Gate.One ofproposed law which could have allowed stronger punishment to him remains pending in Rajya Sabha.

"It is a black day for women in history of the country. I also believe that the Rajya Sabha has cheated the country by keeping the law pending which could have facilitated stronger punishment for juveniles in heinous crimes," the chief of Delhi Commission for Women told reporters outside the Supreme Court.

She was referring to the bill to amend the Juvenile Justice Act which remains stuck in the Rajya Sabha. The proposed amendment bill seeks stringent punishment for children aged 16-18 years involved in heinous crimes.

"The judges told me that they share our concerns but there is no provision to subvert the existing law. I think the time for candle marches is over and


women should pick up mashaals (torches) instead to demand for justice," Maliwal added.

Hours before the juvenile was to be freed from an observation home on completion of his three year term at Majnu Ka Tila, Maliwal had moved the Supreme Court on the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday in a last-ditch effort to try and stall the release.

In its post midnight order, the Supreme Court had declined to stop the release of the juvenile offender and posted the matter before a vacation bench to be heard today.

Amid continued protest by the victim's parents, the juvenile convict was on Sunday released and sent to an NGO at an undisclosed destination with police no longer guarding him.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- After giving the New York Giants an extended preview of his explosive and exciting playmaking ability, rookie running back David Wilson put on a dark paisley sports coat that stood out in the locker room.

Whether it is on or off the field, Wilson has a knack for standing out.

On the night when the Giants lost last year's first-round pick, Prince Amukamara, to a high ankle sprain, this year's first-round draft choice showed that he can be a legitimate weapon to add to Eli Manning's arsenal.

William Perlman/US PresswireDavid Wilson looks capable of making a big impact in his rookie season with Big Blue.

In his first extended playing time with the starters,


years with the Giants. "Can make big plays and get around the corner and get down the sideline. You saw that today."

Wilson put all of his talents on display during the Giants' second offensive series of the game. He accounted for 64 of the Giants' 72 yards on a drive that ended with a field goal.

On a second-and-12 from the Giants' 12-yard line, Wilson took a pitch toward his left and then turned and ran down the right side. He absorbed a hit and kept his footing before finishing with a 20-yard gain. One reporter asked Wilson if the play was designed to take a pitch toward his left before turning and running on the right side.

The 50 Greatest Giants

Choosing the 50 Greatest Giants was a big challenge.Friday night, Wilson showed what he can do -- not only behind the starting offensive line, but also what he can do against a first-team defense like the Chicago Bears.

The Giants will surely find ways to get Wilson on the field more frequently.

"In college I was described as a home run threat," Wilson said. "To have the opportunities to make the plays that I made tonight, you want to keep that going and not be a one-time deal. I'm trying to do better than what I did tonight."

Ohm Youngmisuk has covered the Giants, Jets and the NFL since 2006. Prior to that, he covered the Nets, Knicks and the NBA for nearly a decade. He joined ESPNNewYork.com after working at the New York Daily News for almost 12


with West Brom.

Hazard was restored to the team after being dropped earlier in the week, and he played a huge part in the game, scoring one and creating the other.

The Chelsea opener came on the stroke of halftime. The Belgian fired in a shot that was well saved by Boaz Myhill. The keeper was not helped out by his defenders, as Liam Ridgewell dallied on the ball and Samuel Eto’o nipped in to score.

Shane Long served notice of his threat when powering a header against the post on 57 minutes, and three minutes later, he drew the Baggies level.

A header from Gareth McAuley forced a fine save from Cech, and Long showed the quickest reactions to nod home the loose ball.

A shade over 11 minutes later, the Baggieswere in front, with Cech allowing a shot from Stephane Sessegnon to go under his body and into the net.

Willian should have rescued a point for the Blues, but he headed over the bar from four yards out.

With time ticking down, Ramires won a penalty, much to the anger of West Brom, who felt he dived. Hazard kept his cool to score.

Southampton 4-1 Hull: Saints Impress in Front of England Boss Hodgson

England boss Roy Hodgson was on hand to see Southampton crush Hull City 4-1 at St Mary’s.

Hodgson called up three Southampton players—Jay Rodriguez, Rickie Lambert and Adam Lallana—to his squad for the upcoming friendlies with Chile and Germany, and the latter two were on target.

The opening goal came from an unlikely source, with Morgan Schneiderlin heading home


his first goal of the season on 16 minutes.

Lallana had a hand in the second on the half-hour mark, as he was too quick for Hull keeper Steve Harper, who brought the winger down in the box. Lambert smashed home the penalty with aplomb.

It was Lallana who grabbed the third, and what a goal it was. The Southampton man showed superb feet to trick his way past three defenders before capping the amazing run by curling his shot beyond Harper.

Yannick Sango cut the deficit with a goal on 55 minutes, but Saints held firm, and substitute Steven Davis netted the fourth on 88 minutes to seal the three points.

to undo the power-imbalances that give rise to these disparities.

In Minnesota and across the country, since the collapse of the housing market, the economy has improved while the lives of people who are poor and working class have gotten worse. The disparities and power-imbalances in housing markets around the country were exacerbated by the Great Recession. Many of the homeowners who had been targeted by predatory lenders saw all equity in their homes evaporate nearly overnight, and were forced into the rental market. The earlier discrimination that locked women and people of color out of the housing market pushed them into the rental market and more recent discrimination locked them out of the prime mortgage market and pushed them into the rental market as well.

This discrimination of thefrom seniors and families who spend their refunds on:

This is a piece written in collaboration with Brett Grant (Voices for Racial Justice), Clark Biegler Goldenrod (Minnesota Budget Project), Roberto de la Riva (Inquilinxs Unidxs), and Eric Hauge (HOME line). It will be released in four parts over the next few weeks.

In Minnesota, people from black and indigenous communities are more likely to be renters than homeowners. For generations of white American families, homeownership has been a fundamental means of accumulating wealth. Their homes have grown in value over time, providing security in retirement, and serving as an asset against which they can borrow for education or other purposes.

For generations of communities of color and indigenous communities who were shut out of early federal programs that promoted homeownership, such


as the New Deal mortgage insurance system that generated the mid-20th-century homeownership boom, this missed opportunity to amass wealth that white Americans took for granted is evident to this day. For example, in the African-American community, it is evident in a black-white wealth gap, black-white health disparities, poor living conditions, and dismal educational opportunities for African-Americans.

Black Americans were initially unable to take advantage of the Homestead Act, under which the federal government encouraged westward migration by giving away tens of millions of acres to settler citizens. Former enslaved black Americans gained full citizenship with the 14th Amendment and became eligible for land grants; however, that right became irrelevant with the collapse of Reconstruction, the rise of Jim Crow, and the limitations on the rights of black people thatindigenous communities that were ravaged by predatory lenders during the run-up to the recession have now been shut out of the credit market entirely because of tightened lending standards. Some of these communities have seen the return of a particularly pernicious predatory lending system known as contract for deed. Such contract for deed programs were especially difficult on black communities in Chicago and Baltimore, in particular, during the mid-20th century.


to the population of each country, police in England and Wales recorded the highest number of violent sexual offences per hundred thousand inhabitants in 2015 (130), followed by Sweden (120) and Belgium (nearly 66).

Sweden's National Council for Crime Prevention has previously explained why there is a rise in reported sex offences in the decade leading up to 2015, saying legislation on rape was made tougher in 2005 and 2013. Changes included classifying certain acts of sexual exploitation as rape, as well as cases where "the victim reacts passively”.

Controlled chaos descended upon the Lamb-Weston RDO plant Thursday afternoon as a simulated chemical spill brought all hands on deck.

The drill was required under the Department of Homeland Security, which wants counties and local governments to be prepared for any eventuality. Last year's tornado qualified as the "real deal" in emergency management training, said Dave W. Konshok, Hubbard County's Emergency Management Director.

The drill involved an imaginary ammonia leak within RDO's refrigeration system that injured six employees.

I couldn't imagine being at any other university. It is a place where I feel like I can achieve success at the highest level."There Are No Conspiracies by G. William Domhoff

Many people seem to believe that America is ruled from behind the scenes by a conspiratorial elite with secret desires, i.e., by a small secretive group that wants to change the government system or put the country under the control of a world government. In the past, the conspirators were usually said to be secret Communist sympathizers who were intent upon bringing the United States under a common world government with the Soviet Union, but the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 undercut that theory. So most conspiratorial theorists changed their focus to the United Nations as the likely controlling force in a "new world order," an idea which is undermined by the powerlessness of the United Nations and the


behind-the-scenes leaders are extremely clever and knowledgeable, whereas social science and historical research shows that leaders often make shortsighted or mistaken decisions due to the limits placed on their thinking by their social backgrounds and institutional roles. When these limits are exposed through stupid mistakes, such as the failure of the CIA at the Bay of Pigs during the Kennedy Administration, then conspiratorial theorists assert that the leaders failed on purpose to fool ordinary people.

Third, the conspiratorial view places power in the hands of only a few dozen or so people, often guided by one strong leader, whereas sociologists who study power say that there is a leadership group of many thousands for a set of wealth-owning families that numbers several million. Furthermore, the sociological view shows thator even, frankly, "pinko").

Finally, the conspiratorial view assumes that illegal plans to change the government or assassinate people can be kept secret for long periods of time, but all evidence shows that secret groups or plans in the United States are uncovered by civil liberties groups, infiltrated by reporters or government officials, and written about in the press. Even secrets about wars and CIA operations -- Vietnam, the Contras, the rationales for Bush's invasion of Iraq in 2003 -- are soon exposed for everyone to see. As for assassinations and assassination attempts in the United States, from McKinley to Franklin D. Roosevelt to John F. Kennedy to Martin Luther King, Jr., to Robert F. Kennedy to Reagan, they have been the acts of individuals with no connections to


ban on support for anti-government rebels in Nicaragua (the "Contras") through a complicated scheme that raised money for the rebels from foreign countries. The plan included an illegal delivery of armaments to Iran in exchange for money and hostages. But deceptions and illegal actions are usually uncovered, if not immediately, then in historical records.

In the case of the Vietnam War deception, the unauthorized release in 1971 of government documents called The Pentagon Papers (which revealed the true state of affairs) caused the government great embarrassment and turned more people against the war. It also triggered the creation of a secret White House operation to plug leaks (the "Plumbers"), which led in turn to an illegal entry into Democratic Party headquarters during the 1972 elections, an attempted cover-up ofhigh-level approval of the operation, and the resignation of President Richard M. Nixon in the face of impeachment charges. As for the Reagan Administration's illegal activities, they were unraveled in widely viewed Congressional hearings that led to a six-month imprisonment for the president's National Security Adviser for his part in an unsuccessful cover-up, along with convictions or guilty pleas for several others for obstruction of justice or lying to Congress. The Secretary of Defense was indicted for his part in the cover-up, but spared a trial when he was pardoned by President George H. W. Bush on Christmas Eve, 1992.

His heavenly self, His old Testament self, is sweetness and gentleness and respectability, compared with His reformed earthly self. In heaven He claims not a single merit, and hasn’t one—outside of those claimed by His mouth—whereas in the earth He claims every merit in the entire catalogue of merits, yet practised them only now and then, penuriously, and finished by conferring hell upon us, which abolished all His fictitious merits in a body.

of it are difficult to read because of the violence (there is a terrible rape scene at the beginning when Alex and his ‘droogies’ (friends) go on a drink and drug-fuelled rampage through the town), but mostly because it is profoundly disturbing as an example of how a society, or parts of society, can be persuaded to act in the most vicious ways, and how this is driven by collective approval, the power of the group. It is a book about collective moral failure and the breakdown of the social contract which maintains order.

I listened to 1984 on audiobook over a period of several weeks in my car. There were moments when I had to pull over, aghast at what I was hearing. It was written in 1949and I first read it lazily and only partially in the late ’80s, when I was 19 or 20. At that time the book was only 40 years old, and it was amusing that it described a future society in a year that had already passed (just as Space:1999 became ironic at the start of the 21st century!) The book is now over 70 years old and, frankly, parts of it could describe the world we live in today, our ‘interesting times’. The book describes a totalitarian state, Oceania, said to be based on Stalinist Russia, led by an omnipotent strongman Big Brother. The world is divided into three power blocs – in addition to Oceania there is Eurasia and Eastasia – who are perpetually at war. The

Common Ground-Dove in New Jersey

Common Ground-Dove, adult male

Evidently a Common Ground-Dove has been found, yesterday, in New Jersey. It was photographed by Bob Abrams and the ID confirmed by Michael O'Brien. There's only one accepted record for the state, although it's the third time it has been recorded for the state. There was a lost specimen from 1858 and a record from Mary Gustafson who saw it in 1984.Here are my photos from Sanibel Island, FL of this cute species.

2014 Clos Pegase Hommage Chardonnay, Carneros 750ml

Why You'll Love It

Bursting with aromas of bakers spice, brioche and apple blossoms, this chardonnay has all the hallmarks of Carneros terroir. Bright acidity counterbalances ripe fruit, verging int the melon, cantaloupe and pear, spectrum, whilst keeping some green apple flavors for balance. The soft touch of oak helps support the complexity and depth of the wine, giving a touch of vanilla alongside the more secondary characteristics of fresh croissant and toasty hazelnuts. The palate is long and evolving allowing the drinker to savor all the character and intensity this wine has to offer.

Winemaker Notes

Our Hommage Chardonnay was night harvested and delivered cold in the wee hours of the morning for immediate gentle and controlled whole cluster pressing, ensuring the highest quality


grape juice possible. The juice was then racked into barrels, and fermentation proceeded slowly in our cool cellar. Following primary fermentation, the wine was allowed to go through full malolactic fermentation in barrel. Individual wine lots were kept separate and stirred frequently aging sur lie for 28 months without racking. In early 2016, the wine was racked up to tank to prepare for bottling.Contents

Biography

Early life

Tite Kubo was born in Hiroshima, Japan[2] and decided to become a manga artist when he was still in elementary school.[3]

Manga career

Kubo first got into manga during his third year of high school. He entered a contest, telling a teacher he wanted to be a mangaka. He made it to the final round of the competition but ultimately lost. Despite this, he was contacted by an editor at Shueisha just before summer vacation. He briefly considered going to school for fashion design before settling on manga.[2] He also considered architecture.[3]

His first work of manga was a one-shot for Weekly Shōnen Jump in 1996 called Ultra Unholy Hearted Machine.[4] This was the same issue that One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda debuted in. Oda's one-shot ranked third, while Kubo's


ranked fourth. Kubo started to dislike Oda after this incident. He was content doing one-shots for three years following its publication. However, Kubo had a tense relationship early on with Kazuhiko Torishima, the editor-in-chief of Jump, who told him his one-shots were awful and told him to come back after he had read and could draw manga like Dragon Ball. Kubo ignored this advice.[2]

Kubo debuted as a serious manga artist with his first manga, Zombiepowder, in 1999. Its run was canceled after just twenty-seven chapters.[5]

Bleach

He began writing Bleach soon after Zombiepower's cancelation and it was published in the Weekly Shōnen Jump beginning in August 2001. He was pushed into writing Bleach by his editorial staff. Initially, he had no ideas for a new manga following Zombiepowder, but, afterprodding, remembered that he had some character sketches stashed away, and this became the basis of Bleach.[2]

Kubo expected the manga to run only five years, however it continued to run for a total of fifteen years before finally concluding. Shōnen Jump originally rejected Bleach, which discouraged Kubo. However, a letter he received from Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball, encouraged him to keep trying.[4]

Controversy swirled around Bleach's ending in 2016. However, despite rumors, Kubo confirmed that he did indeed end the manga in a fashion he desired. In an interview given after the series cancelation, Kubo revealed that he would often let the series coast on auto-pilot, which wasn't difficult, he claimed, because one didn't need to think much when serializing a weekly manga. He was very


tired when Bleach concluded.[2]

Personality

Tite Kubo is a individualistic and private author and artist. He prefers to do most things, such as eating and writing, alone (until he got married). He disliked the oversight of editors and, though his relationship with his first editor was amicable, he frequently ignored the suggestions of his editors. He also didn't mind working with his assistants (though he preferred to write alone), but, because they were often older than him, he found it hard to work with them and kept their meetings short.[2]

Influences

Kubo cites GeGeGe no Kitarō with influencing the supernatural elements of Bleach. He also credits Saint Seiya (also known as Knights of the Zodiac) by Masami Kurumada as having inspired the weapons of Bleach. Furthermore, the idea for Bleach came aboutbrought against Wettanen by the Harrisons for assault. Cowper had earlier represented Wettanen in a criminal assault case arising out of the same incident, and Cowper agreed to represent Wettanen in the civil action without further fees. Partial summary judgment had been entered finding Wettanen liable in the civil action, and trial was set for March 1, 1982 on the issue of damages. Wettanen's complaint alleged that Cowper failed to prepare for the trial, failed to inform Wettanen of the scheduled trial date, and failed to appear at the trial. In his answer to Wettanen's complaint, Cowper denied these allegations. For the purposes of this appeal, Mr. Wettanen's allegations are taken as true.
Prior to the trial, in February 1982, Cowper reached an agreement with the Harrisons' attorney to


for the delay between March 26, 1982, the date of the first judgment, and December 23, 1985, the date of final judgment, was his effort to minimize damages.
Cowper argues that Wettanen suffered actual harm upon the entry of judgment against him on March 26, 1982, and that Wettanen knew both of Cowper's malpractice and of his damages by March 31, 1982. Cowper argues that Wettanen was also damaged by having to retain new counsel and to pay costs associated with appealing the trial court's denial of his motion to set aside the amended partial judgment. Cowper contends that it is not necessary that the client suffer all of the damages caused by the attorney's malpractice before the statute of limitations begins to run, nor that it is necessaryGiven my outsized interests in politics and sports, you won’t be surprised to hear I’ve got a special interest in those Canadians who’ve managed to participate in both of those arenas.

Many of them you know doubt already know. Hall of Famer Frank Mahovlich — The Big M — played on six Stanley Cup champion teams. Nancy Greene Raine won gold and silver medals in alpine skiing at the 1968 Olympics. Jacques Demers coached the Montreal Canadiens to their last Stanley Cup win in 1993. All three were appointed to the Senate, and Greene Raine and Demers are still there.

The best examples I know from the House of Commons are former Maple Leafs Howie Meeker and Red Kelly, both of whom played in the NHL, astonishingly, while serving as


MPs at the same time: Meeker as a one-term Progressive Conservative in 1951, Kelly winning two elections for the Liberals in 1962 and 1963.

So it was with extra interest that I sat down the other day with a former member of the Ontario legislature who served in the Liberal caucus from 1967 to 1971, having already enjoyed a fabulous football career with the University of Toronto Varsity Blues and the CFL’s Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

Tim Reid would be the first guy to admit he’s not the household name that Mahovlich has been for the past half-century. But having just turned 80, he can look back at a fascinating life filled with an eclectic range ofexperiences.

Reid was a speedster in the backfield of the U of T Blues, when he scored a record 68 points during the 1958 season. His academic career next took him to Yale University and Oxford University as a Rhodes scholar.

He returned to Canada, was drafted by the Tiger-Cats, and played in the legendary Fog Bowl Grey Cup game in 1962, so named because the fog rolled off the lake and into Toronto’s Exhibition Stadium so densely that the game had to be postponed with nine minutes to play. The two teams returned the next day and completed the game. (The Ticats lost a heartbreaker 28-27 to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers).

Reid’s participation in the game is immortalized on a Canada Post stamp. While it’s Winnipeg quarterback Kenny Ploen who


A smarmy overachiever's machinations power this sly sendup of smalltown politics and society shenanigans. D. William Aitchbone has schemed, he's planned, he's out-machiavellied Machiavelli, but he has not yet managed to get himself elected mayor of Tuttwyler, Ohio. Even more vexing, he cannot convince Howie Dornick--Aitchbone's half-brother-in-law, city maintenance engineer and town black sheep--to paint the eyesore of a home Howie inherited from his mother. Bill wants ""Squaw Days,"" Tuttwyler's upcoming festival, to be the best in town history so he can ride to the mayor's seat on a groundswell of popularity. If Howie will just paint his house, if the vice-president of the U.S. will agree to ride in the parade and if Bill can keep the other town councilors under his thumb, all will be well--particularlyif he makes the money he expects when he sells his late uncle's farm to developers. Things seem to be going according to plan when Howie finally does agree to paint his house, but the strange green color he uses horrifies the town nearly as much as it delights Hugh Harbinger, a depressed New York ""renowned genius of color"" with a talent for marketing and development. Then a strange grave is uncovered on Aitchbone's developable property, and Howie and his honey, librarian Katherine Hardihood, see their way clear to make Aitchbone's life a living hell.

BRUSSELS — Behind President Donald Trump’s frequent attacks on European allies is a deeper neglect of the trans-Atlantic relationship: unfilled positions, truncated meetings, missed or crossed signals and confusion over basic policies.

Aides to the president insist that Trump’s disputes with Europe are part of a long history of disagreements between leaders who, in the end, are inextricably bound by deeper shared interests and values. Churchill and Roosevelt. Johnson and de Gaulle. Kohl and Reagan. Each relationship had frictions and stumbles, only to yield to a stronger Western alliance.

But as they braced for Trump to barrel into Europe this week with visits to NATO and Britain and a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, senior officials from more than a dozen countries, most of them steeped in decades ofeverything from trade policy to Russian sanctions. One senior American diplomat in Brussels said European officials, desperate for lines of communication — and thrown off balance by the churn in the White House — pleaded for more visits by members of Congress, especially Republicans.

Only at the end of June did the Senate finally confirm Gordon Sondland, a hotel magnate and longtime Republican Party fundraiser, as ambassador to the European Union, and he just took up the post on Monday. The most prominent envoy Trump has sent — Richard Grenell in Germany — has stirred controversy by seeming to threaten to meddle in European politics, telling the right-wing news site Breitbart: “I absolutely want to empower other conservatives throughout Europe, other leaders."

in Europe, nor to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, which has a crucial role in monitoring the conflict in eastern Ukraine. Meanwhile, the U.S. ambassador in Estonia, a career diplomat, announced he was retiring, partly in response to Trump's negative comments about the EU.

The disarray has had a direct effect on the delicate process of setting agendas for trans-Atlantic meetings — some of which, such as a NATO leaders meeting in 2017, were foreshortened for lack of an agenda — and others, like the recent disastrous G-7 summit in Quebec, collapsed for what many Europeans regarded as the inability of any of Trump’s aides and advisers to make policy commitments on behalf of the president ahead of such conclaves.

The State Department, for over a yearthe Republic of North Macedonia after settling its name dispute with Greece. European officials said the Trump administration had misread the landscape in Brussels — where there is minimal appetite for expansion — and wrongly thought France could be pressured to change its mind and bring the rest of the bloc along.

All of these missteps, they said, were the result of an alarming lack of communications and disregard for trans-Atlantic institutions, some of which have been in operation since the end of World War II.

One diplomat from a Western European country who recently visited Washington said that in the early months of Trump’s administration there was often no one to talk to — not at the White House, or the State Department. But if you reached someone, they


even intercede aggressively in their domestic politics.

As Trump prepares to barnstorm into Europe for the NATO summit, a state visit to Britain and a summit with Putin, European leaders have adopted a new strategy, hoping to contain conflicts and wait Trump out.

Now, even as the Europeans try to avoid further blowups, they are eagerly pursuing policies that stand to rewrite the international order but in ways that undercut American leadership rather than reinforce it.

They are racing to complete major trade deals from the South Pacific to South America. And they are allocating billions of euros to develop European military capabilities, an effort Washington has begun criticizing, having suddenly realized the long-term threat it could pose to U.S. dominance.

By nastily browbeating allies over everything from military spending and theIran nuclear deal to his perceived victimization of the United States in trade policy, Trump is redrawing the trans-Atlantic relationship in ways that many European officials believe will far outlast his presidency — making it difficult, if not impossible, for his successors to fully reclaim America's traditional seat at the head of the table.

"He is rather a gravedigger for the postwar order, which the United States itself has founded," Christian Ehler, a German member of the European Parliament, who is chair of the delegation for relations with the United States, recently said of Trump.

the side of those who favor free societies, and we will stand together against those who favor repressive systems.”

But European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, who will visit Trump at the White House later this month, in the latest effort to defuse the trade fight, has offered a grimmer prognosis, and warned that the consequences of Trump's policies, like withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal, were already shifting the global geopolitical landscape — for example, by pushing Europe to take a more independent approach toward Russia and China.

"Cloudy rather than bright," Juncker replied with classic understatement when asked about relations with the U.S. during a recent interview with a consortium of German newspapers. He quickly added that, intentionally or not, Trump is pushing Europe toward taking a more independenthave to make an effort to be able ourselves to deal with these important issues.”

The collapse of the European relationship with Trump wasn’t foreordained. Many officials, offering newly revealed details about their strategies for dealing with the president, noted that it came only after a long series of events in which Europeans collaborated, sometimes furtively, to flatter Trump and appeal to his sense of patriotism, in hopes of cultivating better relations with the new administration.

For Trump's first visit to the alliance headquarters, in May 2017, officials tried to distract the real estate developer-turned- president with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, and dedication of a 9/11 memorial.

The memorial — a twisted hunk of metal wreckage from the destroyed World Trade Center towers — had been secretly shipped to Brussels by the


9/11 Museum, its existence known only to a small group of NATO officials and U.S. diplomats who hoped to use it as part of the effort to change Trump's view of the alliance, which he had branded "obsolete."

NATO leaders' meetings can be dense affairs. But for Trump's visit, officials designed an agenda far tighter than usual — so tight, in fact, it did not even formally count as a summit. There was a tour of the alliance's new headquarters, the building ceremony, and a working dinner — basically an afternoon and an evening.

There was no formal session of the North Atlantic Council. No thick briefing books or complex presentations of command structure — all to cater to the new president’s attention span.

It didn't work. And, looking back, manyEuropean officials now regard it as the first failed effort in what would become 18 months of grave deterioration in relations.

Instead of using the speech at the memorial dedication, as NATO officials hoped, to celebrate the solidarity of allies after the Sept. 11 attacks, Trump used it to clobber the allies on the issue of military spending. Along the way, he engaged in a bizarre handshake contest with French President Emmanuel Macron, and manhandled the prime minister of Montenegro, shoving him out of the way while walking to the group photo.

A second effort by European allies to appease Trump, days later at the G-7 summit in Sicily, also failed, as Trump persisted in his opposition to the Paris climate accord. Nor was there any better result when Macron


attempted a boys-and-toys strategy with Trump during his state visit to the French capital in July. The presidents had dinner with their wives at the Eiffel Tower, and Macron wowed Trump at a Bastille Day military parade — the sort of display of hardware that Trump is longing to stage in Washington. Whatever bromance seemed to blossom, however, yielded no concessions by Trump on policy.

Instead, months of further wooing by European leaders was met by one step after another by the U.S. president that infuriated them: the move of the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem; Trump’s unilateral withdrawal from the Iran nuclear accord; his ignition of a trade war by slapping tariffs on European steel and aluminum.

Still, as they arrived to meet Trump once again at this year's G-7 in Quebec, the allies readied yet another strategy — hoping to talk Trump out of escalating the trade mess.

At a meeting with the summit host, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, European Council President Donald Tusk and Juncker "agreed that the first session should not be about trade but rather about overall economic policy," one senior official told POLITICO. "That would allow POTUS to relax and give him an opportunity to boast about U.S. growth, jobs, stock exchanges." Trump would be confronted, the official said, "only after that discussion of trade, so in the second session."

At a strategy huddle of European leaders


the next morning, including Tusk, Junker, Macron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May and Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, plans were laid for how to deal with the combustible U.S. leader, according to senior European officials who witnessed the discussions. They agreed to tell Trump that language supporting the international rules-based order and rules-based international trading system, including anti-protectionism language, in the final communique, was non-negotiable.

They also agreed to go ahead with Merkel's idea of offering a trip by Juncker to Washington, to cooperate in the newest U.S. investigation regarding tariffs on cars.

Finally, Merkel and Macron would pepper Trump with facts and figures "in a hope," the official said, "that it would have an impact on the U.S. decision." Mostly, these were the same numbersthat European Commission Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmström had prepared for prior visits by Merkel and Macron to Washington. But Macron also tried to cajole Trump out of his fixation on tariffs, noting that German cars outsell French cars in France, even though there are no tariffs between the countries.

That full-court press almost worked. Trump agreed to join the final leaders' declaration, only to blow the whole thing up later, in a pique of fury after hearing Trudeau insist that Canada would continue to fight back against Trump's tariffs.

As Trump went on to Singapore to meet the North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un, the Europeans flew home in disbelief. At a European Council summit late last month, they went back over those events and concluded there was little they


simple reason that what unites us — in values, interests, trade and security — is vastly greater than what divides us."

***

But while Mitchell may believe that, few Europeans are convinced that Trump has any goodwill toward Europe, nor do they believe he has a sufficient grasp of history to understand the gravity of the damage he is doing to the relationship. Senior European officials pointed to numerous instances in which Trump has shown no compunction about contradicting or undermining his Cabinet secretaries and senior officials.

Ever since the U.S. Congress adopted the Foreign Assistance Act of 1948 — more commonly known as the Marshall Plan — Washington had gotten credit for generously rebuilding the war-torn continent. And American presidents had maintained a foreign policy that treated Europe as atrusted ally.

But Trump, they say, has violated the relationship in a way that goes beyond previous chafing at U.S. arrogance, overreach or even flat-out screw-ups, like the nonexistent weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

Europe's sense of distrust in Washington cannot be attributed to any one of Trump's eyebrow-raising policies or pronouncements, the senior officials said. It's not that he threatened Mercedes and other German cars with extinction on the streets of Manhattan. Or that he harps about how NATO is better for Europe than the U.S. and claims the EU was created to "take advantage of the United States, to attack our piggy bank."

More fundamentally, on a continent still highly risk-averse in the long shadow of the last Great War, Trump has turned the U.S. into a force


domestically driven for Trump," the official said. "It's not about national security per se. It's about fulfilling campaign promises and putting it to the Obama administration. If you look at it in that context, the big questions, like why does he hate Europe, becomes almost secondary. It's about elections. It's about winning, It's about the whole philosophy of making deals."

Now, in the wake of the debacle in Quebec, European leaders are bracing for new shocks.

In terms of damage control, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has had perhaps the best success in managing Trump. Stoltenberg has courted Trump aggressively, repeatedly assured Trump that his demands for greater military spending by NATO allies were also Stoltenberg's goal and the alliance's goal as well. Stoltenberg has also repeatedly told Trump that heworking on Europe policy. "It's our closeness that gets in the way of understanding."

Hamilton said that while Washington had long held strategic and policy goals for Europe, it had never developed an overall, strategic policy toward the EU, which is viewed by many officials in the United States as cumbersome and bureaucratic. But that approach has increasingly caused strains as Europe has become more deeply integrated — politically and economically — and the commission has taken a stronger role, especially in the areas of trade and regulation.

"I think for any U.S. president, regardless of who they have been, a U.S.-EU summit is like going to the dentist," Hamilton said. "The EU is the most important organization in the world to which the United States does not belong, and


evolution of Washington's policy toward Europe has accelerated and become more pronounced under Trump.

Beginning with the Marshall Plan, the view, he said, was of "the United States as a European power, that means fully engaged across the board in all of the institutions of Europe, and actually integral to all of the alliances and coalitions the Europeans would put together." Now, he said, "I would argue we are moving away from that ... to not being a European power, but being a power in Europe. A power in Europe is selectively engaged ... it means burden sharing, but also burden shedding."

The EU diplomat who recently visited Washington compared the U.S.-Europe relationship to a marriage. What was once a series of strains and squabbles has veered, under Trump, dangerouslya louder voice.

The boys then run out of the room in the panic and then try to find a good place to hide.

Finnish Ayrshire

The Finnish Ayrshire is the most common cattle in Finland (74%). The breed stems from the importation of around 1600 Ayrshire cattle from Scotland and Sweden from 1847-1923. The Finnish Ayrshire is bred with the Swedish Red Cattle (SRB) and local Norwegian cow breeds to breed the Norwegian Red, which is the dominant breed in Norway. Semen is therefore imported from the Finnish Ayrshire to use for Norwegian Reds. In 2008, just one Finnish Ayrshire was used as the father of all Norwegian Reds.

Finnish Ayrshires are most often horned and red-brown, with a calm disposition. Annual milk production can be up to 7400 kg, with 4.36% fat and 3.36% protein. The average living weight is  540 kg for grown cows.

According to statistics highlighted by the Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination Against Christians in Europe in an email to the Washington Free Beacon, there has been an increase of about 250 percent in attacks on Christian sites in France between 2008 and 2018.

Ellen Fantini, who directs the Observatory, told the Free Beacon that under-reporting is a serious problem when calculating the number of attacks on Christian sites, noting that churches are often busy with other matters and prefer to move on, while the press thinks the incidents are minor.

France is better documented because, unlike most European countries, it produces official figures on anti-Christian bias, but eventhose may be misleading. Fantini believes the reported number of incidents is low, possibly because many Catholic churches are owned by the French government and therefore are "not even counted because they're put into the figures of government buildings."

Nina Shea, director of the Center for Religious Freedom at the Hudson Institute, recently described the attacks on French churches over the past few years in a piece for the National Catholic Register:

In many cases the unprotected churches are preyed on by thieves, which indicates criminal intent, if not hatred…. But many times, the culprits are a variety of extremists enraged by the identities and teachings that the churches symbolize—Christianity, French nationalism and Western civilization at large…. While arrests are few, a mix of ideologies and motives is readily apparent


from the graffiti the vandals often leave. They are shown to be radical secularists, anarchists, leftists, feminists, sexual libertarians, Islamists, radical Muslims and a Satanist group, which religion scholar Massimo Introvigne says is minuscule in France.

Anarcho-libertarians claimed responsibility for the burning of Grenoble's Saint-Jacques Church in January. The phrase, "our lives, our bodies belong to us," was found on the Cathedral of Saint-Jean of Besancon, along with the anarchist "A" in a separate incident.

Islamists have been responsible for particularly deadly attacks on Christians, such as the 2016 murder of Father Jacques Hamel in Normandy during morning Mass and the attack on Strasbourg's Christmas Market in December.

Shea notes the assault on churches "barely receives a glance from the French state, prosecutors, media or public. Rarely are the attackers identifiedor apprehended." She elaborated on the government's weak response in an interview with the Free Beacon.

Shea says there is "a secular indifference" on the part of government officials, and also suggested "there's a reluctance to make arrests" because the government in power does not want to alienate potential voters.

Fantini argues the media and the government struggle to think of Christians as victims of intolerance and discrimination, noting that the attacks on churches do not "square with the discourse these days which is that minorities are victims."

A Pew study from last year found most people in Western European countries identify as Christian, including 64 percent of French people, although another Pew survey found only 11 percent of French people say religion is "very important in their lives" and just


Haematological changes in two thoroughbred horses in training with confirmed equine herpesvirus 1 infections.
An outbreak of respiratory disease among thoroughbred horses in training in Hong Kong was caused by equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1) subtype 1 (abortion strain). Two of the horses affected by EHV-1 were serially blood sampled over a period of several weeks and their haematological values measured. There was an increase in monocyte count in the first few days which steadily decreased in one horse, but the other had a second monocyte peak after a period of exercise, thus demonstrating the importance of not working animals in the early stages of the disease.CBS News has confirmed Jared Kushner, the president's son-in-law and senior adviser, discussed setting up back-channel communications between the Trump transition team and Russia during a December meeting. President Trump told the New York Times that he has "total confidence in him."

But the negative stories surrounding Kushner the last week could impact his influence with the president.

Kushner is a constant presence alongside his father-in-law, wearing several hats as a family member with the ear of the president of the United States to a policy adviser who led a recent $110 billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia, reports CBS News correspondent Juliana Goldman.

"If you can't produce peace in the Middle East, nobody can," Mr. Trump said to Kushner on the eve of his presidential inauguration.

The president has positioned Kushner


as a senior adviser and tasked him with some of the most sensitive issues he wants to fast track. Kushner's portfolio includes trying to secure Middle East peace to leading the White House office of "American innovation."

His contacts with Russia are now making headlines, but he's also been a main point of contact with other foreign officials in Mexico, China and Canada.

"Qualification number one, Trump trusts him," New York Times reporter Sharon LaFraniere said.

She also said Kushner and his father-in-law are similar in a key way: "His experience has been a family business," she said.

They value loyalty.

Kushner built his business with his own father, a relationship he discussed in a 2014 commencement address at Hofstra University in New York.

"A lot of what I'm going to speak about todaykeep Bradshaw is a no-brainer.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jammal Brown, OT, Redskins. Age: 30.
Jammal Brown is one of the top players available, and he'll easily upgrade the right tackle position to give Josh Freeman more time in the pocket.

Kansas City Chiefs: Tyson Clabo, OT, Falcons. Age: 29.
The Chiefs wanted to draft Nate Solder, but the Patriots grabbed him at No. 17. Tyson Clabo could easily fill the void at right tackle that Kansas City is looking for.

Indianapolis Colts: Michael Bush, RB, Raiders. Age: 27.
The Colts made the appropriate offensive line upgrades in the 2011 NFL Draft, but they still probably won't be able to run the ball. The talented Michael Bush would easily upgrade a pedestrian running back corps.

Philadelphia Eagles: Chris Carr, CB, Ravens. Age: 28.
The Eagles will be


few things.

Chicago Bears: Jason Babin, DE, Titans. Age: 31.
This is the last thing NFC North quarterbacks want to see - a dangerous pass-rusher across from Julius Peppers. The fans chanting for Da'Quan Bowers at the 2011 NFL Draft will undoubtedly be satisfied with the addition of Jason Babin.

New York Jets: Quintin Mikell, SS, Eagles. Age: 30.
The Jets could use some help at safety. Quintin Mikell is one of the better players available. The Eagles will definitely allow him to hit the market in the wake of the Jaiquawn Jarrett pick.

Pittsburgh Steelers: Ike Taylor, CB, Steelers. Age: 31.
The last boring pick. The Steelers still need help at corner despite the Curtis Brown pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, so they can't afford to let Ike Taylor go.

Green Bay Packers:Stephen Bowen, DE/DT, Cowboys. Age: 27.
Cullen Jenkins is gone. Johnny Jolly has been arrested. The Packers just missed out on Muhammad Wilkerson and Cameron Heyward in the 2011 NFL Draft, so they'll make up for it with the final pick of the 2011 NFL Free Agency Draft.

For the LAST TIME. Byron Maxwell has been VERY good this year and is having his best season of his career can we stop with the horrendous and embarrassing narrative that he's been up and down or bad. He's been the best player on our freaking team for last 7 weeks.

Toronto is now on the clock. The 1999 first round selection of the Toronto Maple Leafs is center, Luca Cereda out of Switzerland, of all places. A place which is not exactly the Mecca of NHL prospects. Once you dive into Cereda’s potential, you see why coach Pat Quinn was smiling as he shook Luca’s hand just after his choice was announced. After a rough week in the management department of the Leafs, it was nice to see that familar smile on the coach’s face.

Luca has excellent size at 6-2, 200 lbs. with a thick, powerful lower body. He is very strong on the puck, almost impossible to knock off of it. He is a playmaking center first,


but is not afraid to shoot the puck when it is available. He loves to lead the play, hold onto the puck until the last second, before dishing it off to a teammate in better position to score. He has demonstrated very good vision on the ice and excellent hockey instincts. He does have a wicked wrist shot and a nice, quick release. He has soft hands for work near the net. He is a quick skater, but not a burner. His lower body strength and balance should make him very strong along the boards. He has not shown a tendency to be a big physical presence, but he doesn’t shy away from physical play either as he battles for position. He is a responsible 2-way player whois a strong faceoff man. He played in 69 games last season at the Swiss junior level and then at the highest Swiss level with Ambri in the Swiss-A league. He quickly became his team’s #1 line centerman on a team with former NHL players Oleg Petrov, Paul DiPietro (ex-leafs player) and defenseman, Leif Rohlin. He was the chief setup man for the team’s leading scorer, Petrov. Luca was the rookie-of-the-year in the professional Swiss-A league.

He represented his country in the under-18 and under-20 tournament and was a first-team all-tournament player at the under-18 tournament in Germany, scoring 1 goal and 7 assists in 7 games. He was described as a man amongst boys in that tournament. He scored 1 goal, 0 assists in 6 WJC tournament games


in Winnipeg in December for Switzerland, with 16 shots on goal and 10 PIM. The goal he scored was a short-handed goal. He won only 45% of his faceoffs, despite having some known skills in this area.

Luca has not yet turned 18 and is still a raw, developing talent playing in a Swiss system which is still relatively new in the “world’s hockey system”. He has the physical attributes, the developing hockey instincts and the skills to make it in the NHL someday. Most impressive is his lower body size and strength. He has the thick, lower body and legs of a power-skater in the “Eric Heiden”-mold. He might not have blinding speed, but he has the power, strength and balance to be an excellent skater in trafficSwiss hockey system has worldwide. Toronto assistant GM and the director of amateur scouting, Anders Hedberg said at the draft when interviewed by ESPN, “Talented players are talented players no matter where they come from and Luca is a skilled player.” Luca may spend another year in Switzerland, but it is possible he will make the transtion to North American hockey by playing with an OHL team following their July 8th draft.

Luca may project to be a 2nd or 3rd line, physical NHL center who can score 15-25 goals, but if he is teamed with a pure goal-scorer like Sergei Berezin, he could add 50+ assists due to his good playmaking ability. The Leafs will bring this talented, but raw young man along slowly.

The Leafs’ second round choice,


60th overall, is defenseman, Peter Reynolds, who played with the London Knights in the OHL the past two seasons. At 6-3, 195, Peter has good size. He is good in front of his net, relying on positioning and stickwork more than a big physical presence. However, he can make the big hits when needed. Reynolds has good hockey instincts and is very active and inspirational in his play. He sometimes does cough up the puck, but overall he is a good puckhandler

He is an excellent skater, particularly laterally and is very good at moving the puck in the transtion game from defense to offense. He will jump into the offensive play and has the potential to contribute on the board offensively, as he has a good shot fromthe point. He scored 2 goals, 25 assists with London in 98-99 with 55 PIM in 59 games in the OHL. He added 2 goals and 3 assists in 23 playoff games. He had 0 goals and 8 assists in 62 games in 97-98.

Reynolds was a gold-medal winner for the Ontario under-17 and the Canadian under-18 teams last season. He was the captain for the Ontario team. He played for team-Orr in the Hockey prospects game this season.

Peter has the potential to be a good 2-way defenseman in the NHL with the ability to contribute offensively, but he will most likely be more of a stay-at-home type blueliner. He emulates the play of Los Angeles defenseman, Rob Blake. He must continue to work on building a little more


upper body strength to add to his physical play. He certainly has a decent shot at becoming an NHL deffenseman and adds to the young blueline prospects throughout the Leafs’ system. Peter fits the philosophy of the Leafs’ team as they continue to stockpile defenseman who can move the puck efficiently and with quickness out of the defensive zone and into the attack.

The Leafs traded their 3rd-round selection in this year’s draft to Los Angeles in the Yanic Perreault trade, but they did have two fourth round selections. With the 108th overall selection they took Mirko Murovic, a left-winger out of the QMJHL. Mirko has good size at 6-2, 190, excellent skating ability and the hand skills to be a potential scorer. He has not yet put everythingtogether however, to become the big scorer envisioned. He is strong along the boards and is active on the puck. He has a good shot and is particularly effective at deflections in front of the net. He is a responsible defensive forward as well and aids in the transition game.

The Montreal-born forward was the 67th ranked North American skater by the CSB in their end of the year ranking. He has played 2 years with Moncton where he was named rookie of the year on his team following the 97-98 season. He potted 10 goals and added 15 assists for 25 pts. in 54 games that year. He increased his productivity to 21 goals, 33 assists for 54 pts. in 69 games in 98-99. Nine of his goals


by the CSB at the end of the season, which was down 7 spots from the mid-term ranking. He was Ottawa’s scholastic player of the year this past season.

Zion is a good skater with deceptive speed. He is an excellent puckhandler who can really move the puck in the transition game. He is a good stick-checker, who will use his body as well, despite a lack of prototypical size and strength. He scored 4 goals, 19 assists for 23 pts. in 53 games in 1997-98. He also had 20 PIM as well. He scored 8 goals, 33 assists for 41 pts. in 60 games in 98-99. Four of his goals were on the powerplay. He added 2 goals and 3 assists for 5 pts. in Ottawa’s 9 OHLzone and has played and excelled in all special team situations.

He played for Litvinov in the Czech. junior leagues the past two seasons. He scored 4 goals, 9 assists for 13 pts. in 48 games in 97-98 and followed that up with 2 goals, 12 assists for 14 pts. in 51 games last season. He had 42 minutes in penalties last season as well.

Zavoral is a strong, physical 2-way blueliner who can also move the puck out of the defensive zone quickly and efficiently. He has an excellent work ethic and has exhibited leadership capabilities as well. He has the potential to be a solid NHL defenseman in future years as he polishes and further develops his game. He just might possibly be a steal for the Leafs


in the 5th round of the draft.

Jan Sochor, a right-winger who played in the Czech. Sr. league last season for Slavia Proha was chosen in round 6 by the Leafs. Vladimir Kulkov was chosen in the 7th round.

The choice of Pierre Hedin in round 8 is an intriguing one. He might be another late-round find by the Anders Hedberg and the Leafs’ scouting staff. Pierre is older, having turned 21 on February 19th. He is a 2-way defenseman who played the past two years with Modo Hockey in the Swedish Elite league. He played with the Sedin twins and Tomas Kaberle’s brother, Frantisek. The Leafs noticed him while scouting Modo’s other players.

While playing in the WJC for Sweden in 1997, Pierre was named to the first All-Star teamJoe Cottrill

William "Joe" Cottrill (14 October 1888 – 26 October 1972) was a British athlete who competed mainly in middle-distance events.

He competed for Great Britain in the 1912 Summer Olympics held in Stockholm, Sweden, in the 1,500 metres, in which he did not qualify for the final, and in the 3,000 metres team race, where he won a bronze medal with his team mates George Hutson and Cyril Porter. The photographs below of the 3,000 metres team race show Cottrill in the middle of the pack, partially obscured by athlete No.62, and finishing in sixth place on the extreme right of the picture. He was also a member of Hallamshire Harriers and Athletic Club.

The Wild Card

With football season now in full swing, the sounds of pads popping and cleats churning in the grass and mud will be a constant for the next couple months. But there's one sound that soon will be drowned out once again by the passing of the fall season: the sound of baseball.

While De Soto and Eudora played their last games in May and last legion games this summer, the Royals have just 10 days left in their season. Their final home-stand of the year began Monday and concludes this weekend with a three-game series against the Chicago White Sox.

While the White Sox and Minnesota Twins are battling it out for first place in the A.L. Central, the Royals are thankfully nearing the end of another last-placenumbers-wise, but he has been ranked in the top 10 in the American League in innings pitched at 188 and is fifth in the league in strikeouts with 172.

Meche, who is the veteran on the staff and had a disastrous April, has redeemed himself by posting solid numbers since then. And Meche has been even better after the All-Star break. Meche is 5-1 with a 2.59 ERA in the second half of the season. Meche is also sixth in the AL in strikeouts.

And Soria has been nothing short of lights out for the Royals. The second-year closer was the Royals' All-Star this year and is in the top 5 in saves. His 90 mph fastball and big curve ball are really all he needs to be successful. Throw

Some of the 24 core items in the Gallup Student Poll have been tested and in use for decades through Gallup's workplace, education and national survey research. Results from the 2016 Gallup Student Poll showed that nearly half (49%) of U.S. public school students from schools that opted to participate in the survey are engaged with school, and 47% are hopeful for the future.

The Gallup Student Poll includes four elements: engagement with school, hope for the future, entrepreneurial aspiration, and career and financial literacy.

Engagement: the involvement in and enthusiasm for school. Engaged students are excited about what's happening at their school and what they're learning. They contribute to the learning environment and are emotionally connected to their school.

Hope: the ideas andarticle in this series describes engagement differences between younger and older students.

Survey Methods

The Gallup Student Poll results and findings are based on surveys collected via web from 909,617 students in grades five through 12, representing about 3,000 schools from 540 school districts across 49 states and the District of Columbia. Massachusetts was the only U.S. state not included in the poll. The online poll was completed by a convenience sample of schools and districts from Sept. 26-Oct. 28, 2016. Gallup does not randomly select schools participating in the annual Gallup Student Poll, nor does Gallup charge or provide any incentives for participation beyond school-specific data. Participation rates vary by school. The survey is anonymous and only group data are reported.

Late Late Show has been averaging less than half of what NBC’s new Late Night With Seth Meyers is pulling in the key adults 18-49 demographic.

CBS president and CEO Leslie Moonves has reportedly been open to candidates outside the traditional mold, with How I Met Your Mother alum Neil Patrick Harris believed to be interested in the job. Harris, 40, a three-time host of the Tony Awards, has twice hosted the Primetime Emmy Awards as well as the World Magic Awards and the Spike Video Game Awards.

The network ruled outChelsea Handler for the Late Late Show gig earlier this month, telling THR that “there are no discussions” with the E! show host to take over the network’s 12:35 a.m. late-night broadcast. Handler had a general meeting with CBS'syndication group and is rumored to be in talks with Netflix for a new show.

Meanwhile, Ferguson already has his follow-up gig lined up: hosting FremantleMedia North America’s syndicated game show Celebrity Name Game.

The Late Late Show becomes the latest late-night show to make a change at the top. Jimmy Fallon took over NBC’s The Tonight Show, with Meyers taking his seat at Late Night; and Colbert is in for Letterman at CBS. Ferguson has been the host of the Late Late Show since 2005 when he took over for Craig Kilborn.

During his run, Ferguson earned a Peabody Award in 2009 and an Emmy nomination in 2006.
