Retired Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz landed in Boston in an air ambulance Monday night after a targeted shooting at a bar in Santo Domingo forced doctors in his home nation of the Dominican Republic to remove his gallbladder and part of his intestine.

Ortiz, 43, arrived in Boston around 10:30 p.m. after the Red Sox sent a plane to transport him to Massachusetts General Hospital. The former MLB player, known best by the nickname “Big Papi,” was shot at close range in the torso Sunday night at the Dial Bar and Lounge in Santo Domingo.

Ortiz brought the Red Sox to three World Series championships, was a 10-time All-Star and hit 541 home runs during his career.

He was hailed as a hero in Boston for rallying the city after the Boston Marathon bombing. He retired after his 2016 season and lives part of the year in the Dominican Republican where he is known to frequent the nightlife scene.


supplies from August 1989 until March 1991, when he went to work for Energen.
Energen had been selling industrial cleaning supplies in competition with Carolina Chemical since Energen's inception in 1976. Carolina Chemical claims Muckenfuss disclosed trade secrets to Energen. In June 1991, Carolina Chemical obtained a preliminary injunction prohibiting Muckenfuss and Energen from divulging trade secrets or from selling products made from those secrets to anyone who was not a customer of Energen's prior to March 15, 1991.
This case has been tried by a jury twice. Both times the jury returned a verdict for Carolina Chemical but awarded no damages.[1] After the second verdict, the judge instructed the jury to either find some amount of damages, or find in favor of Energen and Muckenfuss. They then awarded Carolinain curtailing the legitimate efforts of Muckenfuss to earn a livelihood. Muckenfuss, a high school graduate, has worked in the industrial chemical business since he completed high school. As a matter of fact, he began assisting his father, Bernard Muckenfuss, one of the original owners of Carolina Chemical, on a part-time basis while still in high school. When an employee leaves a job, he is entitled to take the skills and general knowledge he has either acquired or increased during his employment with him:

Carolina Chemical alleges a combination of the following as evidence of misconduct: knowledge of the identity of Carolina Chemical's customers; knowledge of Carolina Chemical's pricing; and misappropriation of four product formulae (paint thinner, bilge cleaner (coldwash), degreaser/safety solvent, concrete remover). Carolina Chemical does not claim Muckenfuss took actual customer lists, pricing lists, or formula cards with him. Rather, it alleges the misappropriation occurred in using knowledge he acquired during the 17 years he was employed with Carolina Chemical.
Viewed in the light most favorable to Carolina Chemical, the following evidence exists: Six months after the expiration of the noncompetition period under the Covenant Not to Compete, Muckenfuss began competing with Carolina Chemical. He contacted some of Carolina Chemical's non-exclusive customers. He made sales to some of these customers, andDESCRIPTION: (Applicant's Description) There are many cancer researchers throughout the United States who either wish to perform or are involved in laboratory investigations with human tumors and/or other human tissues. The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) was selected as one of the three initial research institutions to comprise the Cooperative Human Tissue Network (CHTN) which was established in January, 1987, by the National Cancer Institute to provide a dependable source of human tissues for cancer research. The Southern Division of the CHTN at UAB has enthusiastically and effectively participated in all CHTN cooperative activities, including the establishment of policies and guidelines for CHTN operation. The Southern Division has taken a leading role in: 1) publicizing the availability of human tissues to the research community through design of


to 370 investigators at 215 institutions. The Southern Division will continue to focus on providing reliable high quality human tissues for research. These specimens are obtained under optimal conditions from surgical procedures and autopsies performed at the UAB associated hospitals and subcontractor institutions. Because of demonstrated success in supplying research tissues and due to the continuing increase in demand for high quality human tissues by the research community, UAB proposes to expand existing operations by the addition of consortium agreements with Baylor Medical School in Houston, and Indiana University in Indianapolis, as well as continue our subcontracts with the Northern California Cancer Center, Vanderbilt University, Birmingham Children's Hospital, and the Druid City Hospital in Tuscaloosa Alabama. These participating institutions will provide access to tissues from more than 150,000ease of operation, because those confined to wheelchairs have limited manipulative ability and frequently do not have normal strength in their arms and hands. Moreover, because of the complete dependence of the wheelchair occupant upon the lift, stability and complete safety while on the lift are very important. Previous efforts to achieve these primary objectives have resulted in lift devices that are relatively complex in construction, relatively expensive to fabricate and install, sometimes bulky, and in the case of exterior lifts, unsightly and obstructive to rear vision, as well as subject to tampering and vandalism.
Accordingly, these prior devices have been only partially successful in providing a satisfactory lift device. The present invention provides an improved lift device which can be readily operated from a wheelchair, during both entering

Joan borrowed $240 for an abortion from her friend, Janice, and together they delivered it in a brown paper bag to Jacobson at a drive-in on the preceding Friday evening; it was in denominations of one and five dollar bills, as requested by him. Saturday morning Jacobson took Joan to defendant's office. He examined her and told her she was two and a half months pregnant. Defendant asked her, "Do you want the abortion?" *288 She said "Yes." He then said, "Well, it will have to be done today or not later than Monday. It can't wait." Defendant told her to "come back to the office about 12:00" and not to eat anythingin the meantime. She left defendant's office with Jacobson who still had the paper bag with the money in it. Jacobson then went to defendant's office alone and paid him the money. A few minutes after 12 o'clock Jacobson returned Joan to defendant's office. He told her to disrobe and lie on the table; he gave her an injection which resulted in her losing consciousness. However, she regained consciousness and felt pain and knew that something was going on in her pelvic region. After it was over Jacobson asked defendant how it went and he replied "Fine, fine. But it was an awful mess. She is a healthy girl."
 On the following Monday Joan was in bed at a friend's apartment in Pasadena. Because she was suffering pain


Janice called defendant. Upon his arrival he took Joan's temperature, felt her pulse, and palpated her stomach in various parts. On learning that it pained her he said, in the presence of Janice, "he hadn't got it all the first time, that he would have to operate again." He asked Janice whether there was a place to sterilize his instruments. After some conversation and defendant's refusal to take the patient to his own office, he agreed to convey her to a motel "if it was one with a kitchenette where he could sterilize." Janice located a motel and Joan was removed to it by defendant. There, defendant required a rubber sheet and something in which to sterilize the instruments. After spreading the rubber sheeting on the bed hehad Joan undress and lie down for further treatment. She saw an 18-inch long chromium scissors-like instrument. From his anaesthetic she became unconscious. When she awoke Jacobson was there and defendant was closing his black bag. Blood was on a few of the things in the room. The next morning Janice and Jacobson removed Joan to his apartment in Hollywood. When they left the motel they took a little brown paper bag that had the contents taken from Joan and disposed of it in a trash can on the way to Hollywood. Jacobson testified defendant told him to dispose of the contents of this bag in which he saw evidence of human flesh.
 Joan testified that her purpose in going to defendant's office on the first occasion was

This admission, coupled with the circumstances surrounding the payment of his fee by Jacobson; the absence of her name upon defendant's office records; his statement as testified to by Janice that "he hadn't got it all the first time, that he would have to operate again"; the circumstances surrounding Joan's transfer to the motel and what transpired there; the testimony regarding the disposition of the brown bag and its contents, and the testimony of Dr. Crawford, who examined her at the Los Angeles County Hospital, that his examination disclosed an incomplete abortion, -- these amply justify the impliedmost would accept tips, with the exception of few organizations that implements the "no tip" policy.

China has a continental and seasonal climate. Most parts are in the temperate zone but southern areas are in the tropical or subtropical zone while northern areas are in the frigid zone. Climates in different areas are vastly different. For instance, northern Heilongjiang Province has a winter climate the year round without summer, while Hainan Island has a summer climate the year round without winter.

We couldn't be more excited to see what they're gearing up for!" exclaimed Bobby Reynolds, vice president of booking for AEG Live Las Vegas.KISS recently cemented their iconic status when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April. That was followed in May with the release of "KISS 40," a two-disc anthology that features one track from each of the band's studio and live albums as well as tracks from each of the original band member's 1978 solo albums and compilation cuts.KISS began theirrock 'n' roll domination in 1974 with their self-titled debut album. The band was created by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, who later brought in Peter Criss and Ace Frehley -- a lineup that would change several times over the years. By 1975, the group had released three albums and had toured America constantly, building up a large fan base."Alive!" was the album that made the band superstars; it climbed into the Top 10 and its accompanying single, "Rock and Roll All Nite," made it to No. 12. Their follow-up, "Destroyer," was released in 1976 and became the group's first platinum album, based on the strength of the Top 10 ballad "Beth."Throughout the '70s and early '80s KISS was larger than life, with two huge-selling Marvel Comics, pinball


machines, board games and a network TV movie. The band's many hit songs include "Lick It Up," "Detroit Rock City," "I Was Made for Loving You," "Calling Dr. Love," "Beth," "Shout It Out Loud," "Rock and Roll All Nite," "Heaven's on Fire" and more. In 1983 KISS ditched their makeup for "Lick It Up," an album that spawned the hit title track. While KISS continued to release albums and tour -- now sans makeup -- the band struggled with its identity.On Feb. 28, 1996, KISS returned in force and full makeup with an appearance on the 38th Grammy Awards that kicked off a reunion tour that set records that year.

The problem with this set-up was that the remote control triggered a motor in the TV that drove the purely mechanical tuner. It made quite a racket.

One day, something went wrong and I couldn't stop the motor. As long as the TV was turned on, the electrically-driven tuner would rotate through all its slots continuously, resulting in, as far as I know, the most useless TV set that's ever been made. I used to bring my school friends home to marvel at the pointlessness of this contraption.

At one point, I had seven TVs in my bedroom. Some of them


were rather ugly. A couple had that 1960s chic look that is so fashionable today. And at least one (a 'Bush', I think) was an absolute design classic that almost defined the look of the era.

I watched Richard Nixon's resignation speech live on one of those sets. I had no idea who Richard Nixon was or why he was resigning, but some things stay with you all your life.

Here's a documentary film about how they made TVs back in those days. What's impressive is the way that there's so much emphasis on design and quality control. It's easy to dismiss these sets as primitive, which they are, from our perspective. But at the time, they were cutting-edge and that is what connects us, today, with the people andthe products in the film.

In the U.S., the geography of poverty is shifting.

According to a May report from the Pew Research Center, since 2000, suburban counties have experienced sharper increases in poverty than urban or rural counties.

This is consistent with research across the U.S. over the past decade – as well as my own book, “Places in Need.”

The suburbanization of poverty is one of the most important demographic trends of the last 50 years. Poverty rates across the suburban landscape have increased by 50 percent since 1990. The number of suburban residents living in high poverty areas has almost tripled in that time.

These new trends are not just occurring in the wake of the Great Recession. In 1990, there were nearly as many poor people in the suburbs of theMain menu

Saved Twice at Sea

My story today is about a man who was saved in the sea. This man wasn't in a boat. In fact, he was only a young man, he was a good young man, he had been well brought up, and he was a preacher and he had a large congregation of people, but he really wasn't saved. He lived a very good life, but he still wasn't saved. Now one day, he was out swimming and he was a good swimmer, and he swam out into the sea, so strong and so brave, and he swam out a long ways into the sea and then he thought, "Well, I guess it's time I turned around and went back". And he


of old, "Lord, save me or I perish!" And then he said, "I'm only a vile sinner". He was not talking about being saved from a watery grave, but he was talking about being saved from Hell. And he said, "Lord, I believe that Jesus shed His blood for me, and I'm going to trust thee as my Savior". Well, with that, he went unconscious. There was a boat coming along. A boy was in this fishing boat, and he said to his father, "Look! It's a man! It's a man!" And they rowed the boat hard, and they got it where the man was. And just as he was going down, they reached down and they saved him, and brought him ashore - not a dead corpse,celebrate and exchange ideas – for the sake of doing so (Mercury ruling Gemini in its projective quality).

Highlights White House had confirmed receiving India's invite to Trump in August

US embassy said only White House can comment on Trump's travel plans

Officials hinted he is skipping visit due to State of the Union address

US president Donald Trump has declined India's invitation to be the chief guest at the Republic Day celebrations, sources told NDTV. India, sources said, was informed about this several weeks ago. President Trump's administration has said he has a "crowded agenda" and can't be in India for the Republic Day.

In early August, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders had confirmed Mr Trump received an invite to visit India. "I know that the invitation has been extended, but I do not believe


that a final decision has been made," Ms Sanders told reporters then.

The foreign ministry has not given a statement. The American embassy in Delhi said only the White House can comment on the president's travel plans.

For the last few weeks, US officials have been indicating that Mr Trump would not fly to India in January as the State of the Union address is scheduled in the winter month.

Former US president Barack Obama, however, came to India twice and also attended the Republic Day celebrations in 2015 on his second visit, despite the State of the Union address being scheduled in January every year.

Mr Trump turning down the invitation could be seen as a low point in India-US ties, despite the good rapport he and Prime Minister Narendra Modisay they share.

Normally, formal invites to leaders for Republic Day are sent after the leader has confirmed his or her attendance. Former diplomats have criticised the government for leaking the invitation letter to Mr Trump before a confirmation.

Mr Trump declining India's invitation to be the chief guest at the Republic Day celebrations comes weeks after India and the US had differences over a range of geopolitical issues. India's insistence on buying oil from Iran despite US sanctions on the oil-producing nation did not go well with the Trump administration.

India and the US also had to navigate a complex issue of possible US sanctions after the Modi government decided to buy the Russian S-400 long-range missile system, which the US considers is within the scope of the Countering America's

VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis accepted the resignation of a U.S. bishop Thursday and authorized an investigation into allegations he sexually harassed adults, adding awkward drama to an audience with U.S. church leaders over the abuse and cover-up scandal roiling the Catholic Church.

The resignation of West Virginia Bishop Michael Bransfield was announced just as the four-member U.S. delegation was sitting down with Francis in his private study in the Apostolic Palace. Among the four was Bransfield's cousin, Monsignor Brian Bransfield, secretary-general of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

The bishop had been investigated for an alleged groping incident in 2007 and was implicated in court testimony in 2012 in an infamous Philadelphia priestly sex abuse case. He strongly denied ever abusing anyone and the diocese said it had disprovedthe claims. He continued with his ministry until he offered to retire, as required, when he turned 75 last week.

The Vatican said Francis accepted his resignation Thursday and appointed Baltimore Archbishop William Lori to take over Bransfield's Wheeling-Charleston diocese temporarily. Lori said in a statement that Francis had also instructed him to "conduct an investigation into allegations of sexual harassment of adults against Bishop Bransfield."

No details of the allegations were revealed and his diocese said it had "no idea" where Bransfield was after the Vatican ordered him to live outside the diocese.

Lori set up a hotline for potential victims to call, said the Vatican had instructed him to make the investigation public, and vowed to conduct a thorough study into what he said were "troubling" claims against Bransfield,


who was a major fundraiser for the Vatican via the Pennsylvania-based Papal Foundation.

The revelation was the latest twist in an incredible turn of events in the U.S. church that began with the June 20 announcement that one of the most prestigious U.S. cardinals, Theodore McCarrick, had been accused of groping a teenage altar boy in the 1970s.

Francis removed McCarrick as a cardinal in July after a U.S. church investigation found the allegation credible. After news broke of the investigation, several former seminarians and priests came forward to report that they, too, had been abused or harassed by McCarrick as adults.

The McCarrick affair — coupled with revelations in the Pennsylvania grand jury report detailing decades of abuse and cover-up in six dioceses — has fueled outrage among the rank-and-filefaithful who had trusted church leaders to reform themselves after the abuse scandal first erupted in Boston in 2002.

Outrage has also been directed at Francis and the Vatican and has fueled conservative criticism of Francis' pontificate.

The head of the U.S. bishops conference, Houston Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, had requested the papal audience last month following revelations that McCarrick had risen through church ranks even though the allegations of sexual misconduct were known in U.S. and Vatican circles.

DiNardo requested a full-fledged Vatican investigation into the McCarrick affair, and said he also wanted answers to allegations that a string of Vatican officials knew of McCarrick's misdeeds since 2000, but turned a blind eye.

A statement issued by DiNardo after the papal audience made no mention of his request for a Vatican investigation.


It said that the Americans briefed the pope on the "laceration" that abuse has caused and that "we look forward to actively continuing our discernment together identifying the most effective next steps."

The statement also made no mention of the Bransfield investigation. McCarrick was a co-consecrator when Bishop Bransfield was ordained a bishop in 2005 and the two were active in the Papal Foundation, the big U.S. fundraising organization that McCarrick co-founded and which has funneled millions of dollars to the Vatican over the years.

Bransfield was president when the foundation was thrown into disarray last year over a revolt by its lay donors. They were incensed that the cardinals who run the foundation had agreed to a $25 million request from the Vatican to bail out a troubled Romehospital. Under pressure, the cardinals pulled the plug on the funding mid-way through.

Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston spokesman Tim Bishop said Thursday he couldn't answer questions about Bransfield's whereabouts or whether he has an attorney.

"The Holy See has instructed him to live outside the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston," Bishop said. "I have no idea of his whereabouts."

West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey said he planned "a close review" of the latest allegations against Bransfield, which he called "disturbing."

Joe Akers, a Catholic in West Viriginia, said the allegations are "a little unsettling."

"I really don't know what to think," said Akers, an electrician from Elkview. "It says you're innocent until proven guilty, and the other allegations again him were proven false. I'd say wait until you see what they find.

"That's the way it


is. God's in control, so he will sort it out."

The Vatican hasn't responded to allegations by its former ambassador to the U.S., Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, that Francis effectively rehabilitated McCarrick from sanctions imposed by Pope Benedict XVI over allegations McCarrick would routinely invite seminarians to his beach house and into his bed.

Francis has, however, responded to the overall scandal with a series of initiatives aimed at trying to convince the faithful that he "gets it" and is prepared to take measures to put an end to what he has called the "culture of cover-up" in the church.

On the eve of the U.S. audience, Francis announced he was summoning the presidents of bishops conferences around the world to a February summit to discuss prevention measures and protection ofwere studied and related qualitatively to the film morphology---particularly to the crystallinity, the phase, and the size and shape of the grains. Two sets of ITO films---a crystalline ITO-1 series and amorphous ITO-2 films---were prepared by a batch and an R2R sputtering process, respectively. The Young's modulus of both ITO-films was found to decrease with increasing thickness, whereas a-Si:H films and ZTO films show a nearly constant Young's modulus within the investigated thickness range. The films were found to crack via the formation and propagation of channeling cracks perpendicular to the tensile load direction. Thereby, the crack onset strain of a-Si:H decreased with increasing film thickness, therewith increasing the number of defects that initiate crack formation. Interestingly, the COS of films prepared by R2R sputtering increased with increasing

The ecclesiastical parish of Little Coates is based at the parish church of Saint Michael on Great Coates Road. It cooperates with Great Coates and Bradley village churches, and serves approximately 20,000 people at the western side of the town. The Littlecoates Community Centre on Saint Michaels Road, Yarborough Community Centre on Yarrow Road, and the Yarborough Resource Centre on Central Parade, provide social activities for residents.

Before 2008 community magazines were produced for the Little Coates area – they ceased publication through lack of funding. The Riverside magazine was distributed to the Gilbey Road area (part of West Marsh), Toothill and Roundabout to the Toothill and Yarborough Road area, and Livewire to the Crowland Avenue, Bradley Cross Roads and Laceby Acres areas.

Trudeau laid out his party's proposal to increase retirement security during a campaign stop for the Oct. 19 election in Toronto's Liberty Village. He was surrounded by members of CARP, an organization that advocates on behalf of retired Canadians. The event included a town hall-style question-and-answer period with the audience.

The Liberal plan includes a promise to restore the eligibility for old age security and guaranteed income supplement back to 65, a new seniors price index to make sure those benefits keep up with rising costs, a 10 per cent boost to the guaranteed supplement for single low-income seniors and a pledge not to


cut pension income splitting for seniors.

The Conservatives announced in 2012 that the age of eligibility for old age security would be raised from 65 to 67 — a change that will be implemented gradually over six years beginning in 2023.

Skip Scribble Trudeau told the audience of supporters that a Liberal government would begin talks with the province on how to improve the Canada Pension Plan within three months of taking office, a commitment he has made previously on the campaign trail.

A Liberal government would also prioritize construction of affordable housing for seniors as part of their commitment of $20 billion over ten years for what the party calls "social infrastructure."

Once the plan is implemented, it will help lift hundreds of thousands of seniors out of poverty, Trudeau said.

The cultivars that are developed are unpredictable because the breeder's selection occurs in unique environments with no control at the DNA level (using conventional breeding procedures), and with millions of different possible genetic combinations being generated. A breeder of ordinary skill in the art cannot predict the final resulting lines he develops, except possibly in a very gross and general fashion. The same breeder cannot produce the same cultivar twice by using the same original parents and the same selection techniques.

Photo show spans Minamata woes

Some 60 pictures by a freelance photographer currently on display at a gallery in central Tokyo show glimpses of the half-century history of Minamata disease victims.

Since his first visit to Minamata, Kumamoto Prefecture, in 1960 as a rookie photographer just out of college, Shisei Kuwabara has pressed the shutter button around 30,000 times to record the lives of the people with the mercury-poisoning disease and their families.

The 60 photos have been chosen from the vast collection Kuwabara, now 77, took from 1960 to 2013.

The exhibition at the Nikon Salon in the Ginza district comes after the Minamata Convention on Mercury to regulate the use and trade of mercury was adopted at an international conference in Kumamoto last month.

The treaty is named after the cityof Minamata, where mercury-tainted wastewater discharged by chemical-maker Chisso Corp. into Minamata Bay affected marine products and those who ate them.

“While the conclusion of the mercury treaty marked a milestone, the tragedy involving Minamata disease will continue as long as the sufferers are alive,” Kuwabara said.

He said he intends mainly to present some aspects of the lives of Minamata disease victims and their families in the exhibit.

One photo shows a congenital patient in festive dress being held in the arms of her father to celebrate her attainment of womanhood in January 1977, and in another she is surrounded by her family and relatives on her Coming-of-Age Day.

While she passed away 324 days later, her mother said, “This is my treasure girl, as she sucked mercury from inside my


Andrey Arshavin is set to rejoin Russian Premier League club Zenit St. Petersburg on July 1, when his contract with Arsenal officially expires.

Arshavin, who began his career at Zenit, joined Arsenal in February 2009 and enjoyed an excellent debut season in England, most memorably scoring four goals in a Premier League match against Liverpool in a 4-4 draw at Anfield in April of the same year.

The 32-year-old made a total of 144 appearances and scored 31 goals during his time with Arsenal. Last season, Arshavin made 11 first team appearances, contributing one goal and five assists.

Everyone at Arsenal would like to thank Andrey for his contribution to the Club and wish him well for the future.New York gets just as cold as Iceland in March.

A Haitian Organization's perspective on the current food crisis

The Préval/Alexis government, upon its arrival in power in 2006, pledged to address two major challenges: insecurity and the high cost of living. In terms of insecurity, even if a lot remains to be done, one need not exaggerate to say that the government has produced numerous efforts toward bringing calm to areas of risk-those completely controlled by armed gangs, most notably Cité Soleil, Bel'Air, Grand-Ravine, Martissant, Gonaives, etc. Several gang leaders have been arrested. Numerous kidnappers have been judged and convicted over the course of the 2006 and 2007 criminal trials. This has fostered a climate of calm, and activities that were previously paralyzed have been able to restart. However, no effort has been made to improve the population's


Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn, a former Seahawks assistant, has his team off to a 4-1 start heading into Sunday's game in Seattle. (Associated Press)

By Gregg Bell, Tacoma News Tribune

RENTON — Wait, Husky Stadium is home to the Seahawks' enemy this week?

Well, just a temporary, practice home.

Former Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, now Atlanta's head coach, decided to bring his Falcons straight from their win at Denver on Sunday to Seattle for this weekend's showdown with the Seahawks at CenturyLink Field. It's an early season faceoff of one-loss division leaders; Atlanta leads the NFC South after four consecutive wins.

On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the Falcons will practice at Husky Stadium instead of at home in Georgia.

University of Washington sources told The News Tribune Tuesday the Falcons paidtoo much for the Southerners in which to prepare for the Seahawks — provided Atlanta works around the schedules of the many other Huskies teams that use the Dempsey each day.

NFL teams visiting occasionally use Husky Stadium for light, walk-through practices the day before playing the Seahawks downtown. But the Falcons' stay in the first time in anyone's memory around UW that an NFL team has used Husky Stadium for multiple practices the week before a Seahawks game.

The Seahawks played their home games at Husky Stadium in the 2000 and '01 seasons, after their old Kingdome was demolished and while CenturyLink Field was being built.

Staying west and practicing in Seattle this week eliminates any potential jet lag from two cross-country flights on as many weekends for the Falcons.


It also strengthens what Quinn and his Falcons have been championing this season: a "brotherhood" vibe.

That vibe — and Matt Ryan's record-paced passing yardage plus deep threat Julio Jones two games off a 300-yard receiving day — are working in Atlanta. The Falcons lead the league in points (175), yards (457 per game) and passing (333 yards per game). They won handily at the defending Super Bowl-champion Broncos last weekend. The final score was 23-16 but Atlanta led 23-6 in the fourth quarter.

Quinn learned about a "brotherhood" mentality while he was on coach Pete Carroll's staff for two stints. The 46-year-old Quinn, in his second season as a first-time head man, was Carroll's defensive line coach with Seattle in the 2009 and '10 seasons. He came back aftera couple seasons as the defensive coordinator at the University of Florida to be Carroll's coordinator for the Seahawks in 2013 and '14. Both were Super Bowl seasons for Seattle, including the franchise's first NFL championship.

Just 20 months ago, Quinn was on a podium beneath University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, trying to explain the Seahawks giving up two late touchdowns to Tom Brady and New England to lose Super Bowl 49.

He also deflected questions that Super Bowl Sunday night about rumors he was about to take the Falcons' head job, which he did that week

This week, not surprisingly given his understated nature, Quinn is downplaying his Seahawks links.

"I get the question, I know it's going to come up some a bunch this week," Quinn said Monday

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.)—author of the federal “assault weapon” and “large” ammunition magazine ban of 1994-2004—has announced that on the first day of the new Congress—January 3rd— she will introduce a bill to which her 1994 ban will pale by comparison.According to a Dec. 27th posting on Sen. Feinstein’s website and a draft of the bill obtained by NRA-ILA, the new ban would, among other things, adopt new definitions of “assault weapon” that would affect a much larger variety of firearms, require current owners of such firearms to register them with the federal government under the National Firearms Act, and require forfeiture of the firearms upon the deaths of their current owners.


ancient calendar, the people of Tenganan conduct an ancestral ritual that lasts a whole month, the Usaba Sambah ceremony. Intended as a month-long process of re-balancing all life elements and experiences from the passing year, the ceremony consists of a series of smaller rites that involve various components of the community from spiritual leaders to old men and young men to women and even children. It as a practice observed by the entire population of Tenganan in great joy.

The ritual started with a procession to the temple observed by all villagers wearing beautiful woven fabric known as ‘grinsing‘. After a solemn prayer and a series of offerings made in the temple, the Pandan War commenced as a tribute to honor the ancestors also the god of war, Indra.and no longer aesthetically pleasing.

But hey~ it was not all bad. As all the humans ran out like scared rats they are, saki caught sight of a teen boy caught in the blast. The boy bleeding lightly from his head was not dead; she could hear his heart healty beet. There was no point in leaving empty handed right? This small bodied demon made her way over to the boy and took a knee beside him. saki lifted his hand up to her mouth and boor her fangs down braking past the skin. Letting his warm blood flow in to her, stimulating her taste buds. She did not care much for the other humans for the moment and place a small field barrier over the shop so to


not be disturbed from her meal. in her mind all she could think about was how good his blood was. She deel with the others later.

Izayoi was in his first foray in to the human world. He was advised to avoid Karakura for the time being, something about a network and people recognizing him for who he was and trouble for dad and something something something, none of it mattered, the only thing he had to worry about was not going to this Karakura place. That was easy enough, there were plenty of places in the human world to explore. This one was called "Minatumi Harbor." He didn't know why humans needed to ascribe such weird names to all their cities. The Sugiurans were a lot better abouthe enjoyed the wonderful sensation known as "chocolate." Humans had merit for this wonderful substance alone. Of course however, spatial awareness wasn't really a strength of Izayoi's. A nearby candy bin had spontaneously exploded, a piece of it hitting Izayoi in the side of the head as he was enjoying his chocolate and debris landing across his body.

Izayoi felt a small dribble down his head, was it blood? He honestly wasn't the sturdiest of people but as far as tolerance to pain was concerned, Izayoi only noticed it because a bit of his head was wet. Were spontaneous explosions normal in the human realm? Probably not, most of the people were running away, then again did humans run away a lot? Then there was one that didn't, a


small girl. She was even kind of cute, maybe a little younger than him, why wasn't she running away like the others? The girl then took his hand and put it to her mouth and...bit him? It was a sharp pinch, but not too horribly painful. The first reaction Izayoi really had was confusion. He even began to voice his confusion before a small realization finally dawned on him.

"Do humans usually bite each other? Wait, are you flirting with me? Erebus is this the sex thing Kamui does?"

"No, she's attacking you.

"Oh...ok, that makes sense, this was kind of boring for how fondly Kamui speaks of it, oh well."

Without so much as a change of facial expression, Izayoi's free hand shot up and raced toward the girl's face. Givenhow she was pretty entangled with his hand, Izayoi doubted she'd be able to react. Just before the blow would connect, the area before the girl's cheek had the atoms in the air slowly splitting and rebounding upon itself and drastically ramping up the destructive power of the punch. Should it connect, the girl would be sent flying in to one of the barriers she erected in the area...and probably through that barrier.


World Cup Helps ESPN’s Expansion Plans

NEW YORK – ESPN marketers will fan out to bars in ethnic enclaves during World Cup matches to pass out schedules and posters, just one way the sports network is using the quadrennial event to build new audiences in both the U.S. and internationally.

The network’s large presence of 300 staff members in South Africa for the soccer tournament could also be seen as a dry run to help a future Olympics bid.

Either ESPN, ESPN2 or corporate sister ABC is televising every one of the 64 scheduled matches in the first year the company has thebeing watched, ESPN commissioned a South African artist to make posters honoring each of the participating countries, mixing historical and soccer themes. The U.S. poster, for example, commemorates George Washington crossing the Delaware, with soccer players standing in for his troops.

The network has equipped food trucks with a giant TV on the roof, passing out specialty foods from some of the participating countries in New York and Los Angeles, said Seth Ader, the network’s sports marketing senior director.

Online and on ESPN Radio, the company will give fans the option of hearing broadcasts in different languages, including Chinese, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Portuguese.

In the U.S., Univision has the rights to Spanish-language broadcasts of the matches. Although ESPN can’t offer Spanish-language broadcasts of the matches, it is moving


After a sub .500 1999 season (that still included a trip to the playoffs), Tampa Bay came into the 2000 season in the reorganized Central Division, joined by the Fire, the Burn and the Crew. Powered by new Senegalese striker Mamadou Diallo’s league leading 26 goals and Carlos Valderrama’s 26 assists, the Mutiny secured second place in the Division and a first round match up with the LA Galaxy. The team did not progress and folded after the following season.

Diallo never hit those heady heights again while Valderrama left the team the next season and finished his American stint with the Colorado Rapids. Defender Joe Addo played several seasons with the Mutiny and also captained Ghana. The club picked up veteran goalkeeper Scott Garlick and Raul Diaz Arceeven stopped by for a cup of coffee. Long time US international Steve Trittschuh ended his career at the club, while Steve Ralston began his career at the club in 1996, spent six years in Tampa Bay and left as the all-time leader in games played (177) and points (130).

Even though MLS had some real misfires in terms of names and colors for the original ten teams, I liked both for Tampa Bay. I also thought the club badge was sinister and sharp, although I have no idea what it had to with a mutiny.

The colors were billed as midnight navy, tropical blue and white and came together perfectly for the 2000 home shirt. Echoing the design brought to prominence by Dutch giants Ajax, the jersey featured a


Oliver Mtukudzi, Zimbabwe's Afro-jazz legend, dies Published duration 23 January 2019

media caption Oliver Mtukudzi: Remembering Zimbabwe's Afro-jazz great

Oliver Mtukudzi, one of Zimbabwe's most renowned musicians, has died aged 66 after a four-decade career.

He came to prominence in the 1970s as one of voices of the revolution fighting white-minority rule.

His lyrics often carried social messages about HIV/Aids and coded political commentary.

His 2001 song Wasakara, meaning "You Are Too Old", was banned as it was seen as a reference to leader Robert Mugabe, who was ousted 16 years later aged 93.

The singer and guitarist mixed several different styles to create his own distinctive Afro-jazz sound, known to his fans as "Tuku Music".

In a long career he released 67 albums and toured the world.

'He was a freedom fighter'

US-based Zimbabwean musician ThomasMapfumo, with whom he started his career prior to independence in 1980, paid tribute to a "great musician".

"He was a freedom fighter - that's what I can say about him," Mapfumo told the BBC's Focus on Africa radio programme.

"I loved his voice and the way he used to write his music. He was such a great inspiration to those who were upcoming."

Mtukudzi performed one of famous tracks Neria, about the strength of women and how they should take their place and not feel inferior to men, for the BBC in 2009:

Affectionately known as "Tuku", his name is trending on Twitter as people pay tribute to him.

But as Zimbabweans come together to mourn the musician, correspondents say there are fears the government will use his death to divert attention


from the brutal crackdown on protesters and the country's economic woes

Zimbabwe's 'cry for help'

By Stanley Kwenda, BBC Africa

Oliver Mtukudzi's last album was filled with emotion. Called Hanya'Ga, which translates as "Concern" in the Shona language, it came out last February - three months after Mr Mugabe, who had ruled Zimbabwe for 37 years, was ousted.

It felt like he had taken his gloves off and was able to express his real concerns about the country's future. From child marriage to the economic meltdown and worries about a lack of concern for human life - he tackled it all.

It was a rallying call for unity among Zimbabweans - a wake-up call to do something to stop the rot that had characterised the country for many years. It was also aDismiss for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction and Improper Venue, or For a Change of Venue.

I. Background
This is an action for unfair competition, trademark infringement and dilution and is brought pursuant to federal and state law. Plaintiff International Truck and Engine Corporation ("INTEC") is a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business in Warrenville, Illinois. INTEC does business in this judicial district through its Parts Distribution Center and Used Truck Center, both of which are located in Dallas, Texas. Plaintiff International Truck Intellectual Property Company, LLC ("INTIP") is an Illinois limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of INTEC. Defendant International Bus & Coach ("IBC") is a used bus sales company having its principal place of business in Fort Gibson, Oklahoma. Defendant Elias Quintana ("Quintana") is an individual


located in Johnson County, Texas. Plaintiffs also allege that Defendants have (1) attended trade shows in Texas displaying the INTERNATIONAL mark; (2) sent unsolicited promotional materials with the INTERNATIONAL logo to the Cleburne Independent School District; (3) sold product in Texas under the INTERNATIONAL trademark; (4) called and solicited business from a list of customers in Texas under the name INTERNATIONAL; and (5) advertised their business on an Internet website accessible in Texas using the name INTERNATIONAL.
The court need not engage in an extensive and detailed analysis of the issue, as it determines that Defendants contacts with the state arise from their alleged unlawful use of the INTERNATIONAL trademark in connection with soliciting business in the State of Texas. Such contacts are sufficient for the court to exerciseaddress the bankruptcy issues urged by Meadows.

I. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND

2
Meadows did not file income tax returns for the years 1988 to 1993 until 1993.1 When he belatedly filed in 1993, he did not pay any of the tax he owed for the years 1988-1991 and paid only a small fraction of the amounts he owed for 1992 and 1993. In response, the IRS assessed the tax, interest, and penalties. After Meadows failed to pay those amounts, a lien for the years 1988-1992 arose on the Meadowses' residence which the IRS secured with a notice filed in October 1993. The IRS rejected Meadows's submitted offer in compromise and collected about six hundred dollars from his bank account in 1994. The IRS then filed another lien notice, this time


for the tax years 1988-1993.

3
The IRS determined that Meadows's wife held their residence as his nominee because she did not have enough income to pay the mortgage and the house was in her name alone. On August 16, 1995, the IRS served a notice of levy and seizure on her in order to collect the unpaid liabilities for 1988-1992. Mrs. Meadows obtained a loan in the amount of $10,000, and offered that to the IRS in satisfaction of the lien, representing that Meadows's equity interest in the home was only $10,000. The assigned IRS agent accepted Mrs. Meadows's offer, stating that when the IRS received the money, it would release the lien on the house and apply the proceeds to Meadows's liability, "starting with the oldest tax period."CDP hearing for the tax years 1992 and 1993, which raised two issues. First, he asked whether the IRS had illegally placed a nominee lien on the residence held in his wife's name and second, whether the $10,000 was wrongfully applied to a tax period that had been discharged. In this filing, he revealed that he thought that the automatic stay only applied to the debts that would have been discharged later.

5
The Appeals Office determined that Mrs. Meadows's failure to appeal the nominee lien barred a contest of the lien in the CDP hearing. The Appeals Office decision also declined to find a violation of the stay because the agreement to release the lien was reached before Meadows filed for bankruptcy, and it found controlling the agreement between

They toted home luggage under their arms and eyes, legs weary and worn, body clocks that were set and re-set as they bounced around between Mountain and Pacific time.

After nearly 8,000 miles in the air and five games in five cities in seven days, with stops near desert, mountains, salt lakes, palms, and pines, the Celtics are finally back in Boston.

They posted a 2-3 record on that trip, their longest of the season, and now comes a much-needed break.

The Celtics play just one game in seven days – Friday against Golden State at TD Garden – and coach Doc Rivers gave everyone two full days off before they resume practice Thursday.

That breather is


said during the trip that he was going to specifically monitor minutes for Garnett, Pierce, and Terry, and that Garnett would sit out a few games before the playoffs start.

Garnett already sat out against the downtrodden Suns, a game that became the Celtics’ biggest win of the season — 25 points — but the rest of the schedule is brutal, leaving few games that Garnett could sit out without seriously damaging the team’s chances.

How brutal is the upcoming schedule? Thirteen of the Celtics’ final 25 regular-season games are on the road, with trips to Oklahoma City, Memphis, New York, Indiana, and Miami. Plus, after they face the Warriors Friday, the Celtics play four of their next five on the road.

Rivers wants first for his team to make theplayoffs, but he also wants to keep the Celtics out of eighth place in the Eastern Conference so that they don’t face the Heat in the first round. As of Tuesday, the Celtics were in the seventh place in the East, 2½ games ahead of Milwaukee.

But resting key players while not playing anyone wet behind the ears will be tricky when it comes to keeping games competitive, a must if the Celtics want to avoid the Heat.

If anything, though, the West Coast trip truly tested the post-Rajon Rondo Celtics.

The team won eight of nine without him before the All-Star break in part because it largely played struggling teams at home.

On the road, it was a different story. The Celtics were up and down, losing three of four after

German carmakers to hold White House talks on Tuesday

German carmakers are to meet with top US officials at the White House on Tuesday, sources said, as US President Donald Trump mulls damaging tariff hikes on vehicles imported from the European Union.

German news agency DPA reported Sunday that top executives from Volkswagen, Daimler and BMW will hold talks with US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, citing a source close to the matter.

When contacted by AFP there was no immediate comment from the three German auto titans. But a reliable source confirmed the high-level meeting "is scheduled to take place on Tuesday".

According to DPA, Volkswagen CEO Herbert Diess and Daimler boss Dieter Zetsche are expected to take part in the White House talks, but BMW


his criticism of the country's "very unfair" trade imbalance with the United States.

He once complained that there were too many Mercedes in New York City, to which Germany's then economy minister retorted that Americans should "build better cars".

Germany's export-reliant car industry is already feeling the sting from Trump's trade row with Beijing that has seen both sides impose duties on goods worth hundreds of billions of dollars.

But in some relief to German carmakers, who have factories in both the US and China, Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping announced a ceasefire in their tariffs war after meeting at the G20 this weekend.was no danger to the woman nor any power differential between them, then according to the Southern Baptist perspective on sex (Savage’s denomination), that would have been immoral. It would have also been hypocritical considering his work with True Love Waits, telling other people not to have extramarital sexual contact. This hypothetical sex would not have been unethical in his role as a pastor, and it would not have been illegal in Texas.

It would have been a sin in the eyes of his church and himself, and confession and repentance (and disqualifying himself from purity preaching) would have been appropriate results and consequences.

Even though Savage admitted that his actions with Woodson were “out of bounds for my commitment to sexual purity,” he did not confess until caught, and


professional qualifications for violating them. Some states have wisely codified this into law, and teachers, counselors, clergy members, and others can be prosecuted for abusing those in their care.

ILLEGAL

If Savage had had sexual contact with a minor outside his role as a youth pastor, that would have been illegal, because minors cannot consent to sex with adults.

If Savage had had sexual contact with a woman his age, and she did not consent, that would have been illegal, because it would have been assault.

Woodson had confided struggles and vulnerabilities to Savage. She trusted him. He took her to a place where she was isolated and frightened, and he initiated sexual contact. She complied to keep herself safe, but she did not consent. Under Texas law, she could not haveconsented.

Savage’s actions were immoral AND unethical AND illegal.

So far, he has only addressed the immorality of his actions. He has not acknowledged that abusing his position as a clergy person was unethical. He has not acknowledged the illegality of sex without consent.

Most of the church leaders who have worked with Savage have also failed to deal with the illegal and unethical nature of Savage’s actions toward Woodson. There has been one positive development, however: the recent response from Larry Cotton.

"The backroom scheme of the NAB and RIAA to have Congress mandate broadcast radios in portable devices, including mobile phones, is the height of absurdity," Gary Shapiro, president and CEO of the CEA, said in a statement. "Forced inclusion of an additional antenna, processor and radio receiver will compromise features that consumers truly desire, such as long battery life and light weight."

The government shouldn't mandate product features that consumers don't want, he added. "Rather than adapt to the digital marketplace, NAB and RIAA act like buggy-whip industries that refuse to innovate and seek to impose penalties on those that do," Shapiro said.

In the U.S., the first step for agricultural marketing was initiated by the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1929. The Act was introduced as a measure to stop the downward twisting of crop prices. The Act sought to help farmers in buying, selling, and storing agricultural surpluses. Farm organizations were generously provided with financial assistance. The Act introduced several federal programs to provide financial guarantees to farmers. Programs were also started to provide price stability for crops. The Act introduced schemes for farmers to organize themselves and their markets to survive oversupply and falling crop prices. The Act was the first step for all the later price support subsidy programs.

The most important contribution of the Act was the creation of a federal farm board. The board consists of eightmembers. The board created several agricultural cooperatives. The agricultural cooperatives were created to stabilize farm prices. In order to reduce commodity surplus, the cooperatives must get voluntary agreement from farmers. The board adopted two methods to limit the falling of a crop price. The methods adopted were:

reducing land under cultivation;

purchasing large amounts of commodities; and

holding and storing the products from sale until market prices rose.

The board appropriated financial funds to loan the cooperatives. Additionally, the federal farm board created board’s marketing cooperatives. Marketing cooperatives were created to buy cotton, grains, and wool. The marketing cooperatives provided arrangements for storing the agricultural products.

However, the board failed to stop the steady decline in crop prices. The reasons for failure were:

The board was not able to prevent overproduction by the majority


of farmers; and

The Act provided for voluntary crop limitation programs.

In order to rectify the defects in the Agricultural Marketing Act,1929, several amendments were brought in 1933 and 1935. The powers of the board were transferred to the Governor of the Farm Credit Administration[i]. The Farm Credit Administration is an independent agency in the executive branch of the government. The agency is mainly composed of the Federal Farm Credit Board and the Governor of the Farm Credit Administration. The agency includes other personnel employed in carrying out the functions, powers, and duties vested in the Farm Credit Administration.

To place the agricultural industry with other industries on equal footing, the Act encouraged effective merchandising of agricultural commodities in interstate and foreign commerce. The Act aimed to protect, control, and stabilizeOn August 16th 1951 a number of people in the quiet southern French town of Pont St.Esprit began to fall ill. Stomach pains were soon followed by violent and often terrifying hallucinations. Local hospitals were soon overwhelmed and more than thirty people were taken to asylums in nearby towns. It was soon decided that the cause was bread poisoning and the evidence pointed to just one Bakery. The reason, it was believed was 'ergot', a fungal infection found in Rye bread which had often caused mass poisonings in Medieval times.

But documents obtained by the American writer Hank Albarelli suggest that rather than simple 'ergot' there was a strong possibility that the symptoms and the nature of the outbreak were not a tragic accident. In his research in to

Mike follows up the claims talking to experts in LSD and its impact, historians of the cold-war search for the perfect biochemical weapon and agricultural scientists specialising in ergot poisoning. He also visits the town of Pont St Esprit and talks to one survivor, the local postman Leon Armundier, about the events of 1951. Leon describes of the horrors he faced as a young man, being forced into a straight-jacket for a week as burning sensations and images of snakes raged around him.

Many in the town are uneasy at re-opening the old storystigmatize abortion. Republicans questioned the logic Cooper and other Democrats put forward, asking how the bill could criminalize doctors for a practice Democrats say doesn't exist.

Lt. Gov. Dan Forest, who is seeking the GOP nomination to face Cooper in the 2020 governor's race, said Thursday that it's "a sad day when the governor of any state, no matter the circumstance, chooses to not protect the life of a helpless newborn baby."

The veto was Cooper's first of the 2019 session. He has vetoed 29 bills since taking office at the beginning of 2017, and lawmakers have overridden 23 of them.

This is the GOP's first session without veto-proof majorities in his term, though.

The measure passed in the Senate by a 28-19 margin, with two Democrats voting in favor. It takes

Syria's Assad Expands Crackdown Against Protesters

The Syrian Army sent tanks rolling into the restive southern city of Dara’a and carried out arrests in poor towns on the capital’s outskirts Monday in a sharp escalation of a crackdown on Syria’s five-week-old uprising, according to human rights activists and accounts posted on social networking sites. They said at least five people were killed in Dara’a, and bodies were in the streets.

The move into Dara’a seemed to signal a newchapter in a crackdown that has already killed more than 350 people, with the single highest toll on Friday. So far hewing to a mix of promised concessions and blunt force, the government indicated Monday that it had chosen the latter, seeking to crush a wave of dissent in virtually every Syrian province that has shaken the once-uncontested rule of President Bashar al-Assad.

Residents said at least eight tanks entered Dara’a at dawn from four directions, and there were reports of artillery and mortars being used. Phone lines were cut to the area, making first-hand accounts difficult, and nearby border crossings with Jordan were sealed from the Syrian side, Jordanian officials said. But video smuggled out of the town depicted a cloud of black smoke rising on the horizon


with volleys of heavy gunfire echoing in the distance.

Protesters said the toll was almost sure to rise. Bodies were in the streets, but snipers on rooftops prevented residents and medical personnel from retrieving them.

The Guardian wonders whether the violent crackdown wont work this time in Syria, but that ignores that the last time the Syrian regime faced a similar uprising, Bashar's father Hafez slaughtered thousands in Hama and disrupted the Muslim Brotherhood in the process. A regime that maintains a tightly-controlled military and uses force willingly against its own people can brutalize and terrorize a populace into submission even in the face of a popular demand for reforms. If and when the Syrian army decides not to open fire on fellow Syrians will Assad face a true testRobert E. Lee High School senior Emily Stanford is a bit older than the other students in her grade. But she seldom shares why.

Miss Stanford grew up with a learning disability that caused her to struggle with spelling and math.

Her challenges in school led to her repeating the third grade, yet now she finds herself ranked highly in her graduating class. Lee swim coach Matt Franks, is part of the reason why, Miss Stanford said Monday while honoring him.

Through the sport of swimming and the 21 hours a week of practice, Franks taught Miss Stanford that quitting was not an option.

“I learned how to persevere, how to keep going even when every part of me wanted to give up,” said Miss Stanford, who joined the swim team in


seventh grade.

She took those lessons, first learned in the pool, to the classroom where she soon found herself excelling in academics. Now, she is about to graduate ranked 14th in her class.

The Tyler ISD Foundation on Monday recognized the top 20 seniors each at John Tyler and Robert E. Lee high schools during this year’s “A Night of Shining Stars” event at Caldwell Auditorium.

During the event, foundation director Marc Loredo recognized each student on stage and shared about their high school involvement and accomplishments.

Each student was accompanied by a TISD teacher, coach or administrator and shared how that person positively affected their life.

Each student received a personalized star-shaped glass award, and the educators received frame certificates, while on stage.

Harrow Council is proposing to lower the age at which children enter primary and secondary school. Currently pupils move from infant school in year three aged eight, but the proposals would mean they leave one year earlier.

Children would then transfer from primary to secondary school aged 11, instead of the current age of 12.

A Harrow Council spokesman said: "No schools would be closed as a result of this change.

"The reorganisation of schools would, if approved, take place in September 2010 and provide opportunities for school sites to be used for extended school activities."

Facebook went through seven months of legal proceedings so it could make all three of the Facebook users aware that the government attorneys wanted their online details.

"We successfully fought in court to be able to notify the three people whose broad account information was requested by the government," a Facebook spokesperson said Friday. "We are grateful to the companies and civil society organizations that supported us in arguing for people's ability to learn about and challenge overly broad search warrants."

When the books prepared by CBS were delivered to West by Lasater, West observed several errors in the books and demanded the return of his tax records so he could verify the accuracy of the work. Although Lasater returned some of West's records, Lasater stated that some records would not be returned until the bill to CBS was paid. West refused and again demanded the return of his books. Some two weeks later West made a written demand to Lasater requesting that his records be returned. In response, Lasater wrote to West: "I have called you twice last week to discuss this....

Wisconsin Badgers at Penn State Nittany Lions

This series is tied 9-9 all-time and was first played in 1953. Penn State has won each of the last three meetings, including a 38-31 victory in the 2016 Big Ten Championship Game, which was the last time they met.

Wisconsin had its fourth game of the season with at least 300 yards on the ground last week, already doubling its number of such games last season. Wisconsin is 6-0 this season when gaining 400+ yards of offense, and 0-3 when failing to reach the 400-yard mark.

Jonathan Taylor had his third game of the season with at least 200 rushing yards and three touchdowns last week. No other player in the FBS has more than one such game this season, and Penn State'sMiles Sanders is the only other Big Ten player with such a game.

Penn State has had its lowest rushing total of the season in each of its last three games. The Nittany Lions totalled 186 yards of offense against Michigan last week, their lowest total since 2015, when they gained 180 against Temple.

Trace McSorley's 76.7 passer rating against Michigan last week was a career worst (minimum five attempts). His five completions were his fewest in a game since going 5-for-8 in his freshman season in relief of Christian Hackenberg.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Penn State's quarterback is beaten up and a chance to finally crack the postseason field has all but evaporated, but there's plenty still on the line for the Nittany Lions with three games left to play.

Easing


the penultimate month of the year since Nov. 21, 2015.

Penn State, meanwhile, hasn't experienced a loss like the 42-7 shellacking it took at Michigan last week in nearly as long.

"Saturday was a tough one for all of us to swallow," Penn State coach James Franklin said. "We've had some tough losses in tight games, but we had been one of the more competitive programs over that stretch in the country."

To stay competitive on Saturday, both defenses will likely have to match stops as both teams are facing dilemas on offense with their quarterbacks.

Penn State's Trace McSorley suffered an unspecified knee injury two weeks ago and struggled to play through it in Ann Arbor. The program's career leader in total yardage managed just 77 yards of offense before heBadgers' attack even with starter Alex Hornibrook at the helm.

But Hornibrook found himself in concussion protocol for the second time in three weeks after hitting his head on the ground in the first half of Wisconsin's win over Rutgers last week. Sophomore Jack Coan would start if Hornibrook is not cleared to play.

"Probably the best thing for him was probably playing on the road at Northwestern," Wisconsin offensive coordinator Joe Rudolph said. "Know it's going to be different, it's going to be some uncomfortable situations, there's going to be some things where your nerves are high."


'Guptagate' sparks political row in South Africa: Report

May 06, 2013 18:41 IST

A controversial lavish Indian wedding in South Africa has created a rift between President Jacob Zuma and the ruling African National Congress, according to a media report on Monday. Zuma and ANC secretary-general Gwede Mantashe have allegedly fallen out over the Gupta plane saga, the Independent Online reported quoting its sources.

The Gupta family, which has close ties to Zuma, made global headlines when a plane, chartered by them, carrying around 200 guests from India, landed at Waterkloof Air Force base on Tuesday without proper authorisation.

The use of the Waterkloof Air Force Base by the Guptas had been the final straw for Mantashe, who privately expressed concern about a perception that the family wielded too much influence individed cabinet members. This was the main reason why most of the invited ministers had "boycotted" the wedding.

The Gupta family, which owns The New Age newspaper and Sahara Computers, celebrated the wedding of Vega Gupta, 23, to India-born Aaskash Jahajgarhia at Sun City on May 3.

The wedding, billed as 'the South African wedding of the century', also had Bollywood actors and singers flying in for an extravagant celebration.

Earlier, Atul Gupta, the billionaire businessman had apologised to Indian and South African governments as well as to the public for triggering the scandal.


Background
==========

The primary aim of this research activity, conducted between February 2003 and February 2005, is to provide an initial picture of the ethnobotany in the Molise region, and the only Italian area not previously studied from this viewpoint, with the exception of a brief paper by Guarrera \[[@B1]\]. The region does not have an autonomous regional administrative identity since it was incorporated into Abruzzo until 1963, a factor which has not helped stimulate research into its territory as an independent entity. A second reason it that, given its climatic and morphological characteristics, the area presents certain interesting elements of local isolation, which is probably one of the main reasons why there is a differentiation in the typical usages in the region . The existing ethnographic literature concerning thecases.

At the end of the winter, in the period of Easter, young girls of Molise used to ask the \"blessed palm\" (*Olea europaea*L.) for their beloved, the leaves then being thrown on to burning coals for a sign or divination \[[@B2]\].

The presence of many rituals linked with officinal uses, and of several agricultural feasts of the grain \[[@B18]\], is a remainder of the pagan culture of the Romans and of even earlier populations.

A small archaeological bronze tablet (\"Tavola Osca\"), now kept in the British Museum in London, illustrates this agricultural background of the local culture. The tablet was found near the Monte del Cerro, between Capracotta and Agnone, in the place named \"Uorte\", that is to say kitchen garden (Hortus in Latin language and Hùrz on the tablet).


areas, perhaps due to a more rapid process of cultural erosion that in Italy advanced more quickly that in Spain.

The consideration that the more frequently used plants grow in uncultivated areas, near ruins and damp sites, or in kitchen-gardens and fields, but not in woods (except for *Abies alba*), where men typically worked, leads us to consider once again the important role played by women in this field, as had already emerged from the interviews.

In the high Molise it was found that, within the four walls of the home, the principal role was played by the women, who were entrusted with almost all the tasks, whilst the men generally conducted their activities outside. It was also the woman\'s responsibility to treat minor ailments, mainly by means of decoctionsOr sensors might determine that a parking lot is full, and then trigger variable-message street signs to direct drivers to other lots.

Smart cities as places for fun

Those are some of the countless practical examples. But smart cities can also be fun. In Bristol, England, a custom-built infrared sensor system was added to street lamps for a few weeks in late 2014 to record the shadows of pedestrians walking by. The shadows were then projected back through the streetlights for others walking by later to see.

Called "Shadowing" and developed by Jonathan Chomko and Matthew Rosier, the initiative was intended as a public art installation. A winner of a Playable City Award, "Shadowing" helps illustrate how broad and elusive the definition of "smart city" has become.

That's a good thing.

"Many smart city projects don't have immediate ROI attached," Piva said. "My personal reflection is that technology of the future will become more and more invisible to individuals, and the best success criteria will be people not really even noticing the technology. For the time being, that means seeing a lot of technology trying to talk to us or engage with us in various ways.

Promising to end the cycle of addicts in constant need of money for drugs, who get that money by pawning things to large dudes in sleeveless shirts, who then sell those things to people who add them to piles of useless crap rendering their homes uninhabitable, Netflix has cut some 800 hours of A&E and History programming illustrating the circle of miserable life from its streaming fare.

skin layers located at different depth at the same treatment. Heating of the tissue via the different energies is additive, sometimes the sum being greater than the parts. The different energies may enter the skin at different locations. The energies applied to the treated skin segment and in particular light energy, are not distributed uniform across the treated skin or tissue segment. Typically the light energy decreases exponentially as the light passes deeper into tissue while in skin, the RF energy decreases laterally as you move away from the electrode. The combination of the two helps to better homogenize tissue heating.

====================

A 25-year-old man presented with increasingly severe right-sided headache attacks with ipsilateral cranial autonomic features. His first attack was characterised by a sharp retroorbital pain with ipsilateral lacrimation, conjunctival congestion, and nasal stuffiness. He was agitated throughout the pain, which lasted 15--30 minutes, and he slept for seven hours afterwards. Three months later he experienced an identical attack, and the frequency gradually increased to between two and three episodes per day. The attacks were stereotypical, being exclusively right-sided with extreme agitation during the pain. Prior to seeking medical help, he was contemplating suicide due to the severity of his symptoms. He had previously been fit and well apart from a history of migraine. The latter was described as intermittent mild-to-moderate headache attacks lasting several hoursEnglish Championship Winners and Premier League new entrants AFC Bournemouth have been linked to Nigeria striker Obafemi Martins.

The former Levante striker has been in superb form for Seattle Sounders in the Major League Soccer (MLS) since last season and has scored six goals in seven games this season.

Martins is not new to EPL as he played for Newcastle United and Birmingham City. To land Martins, the England Championship winners must be ready to pay big money to the Nigeria striker, that may block the move as been speculated because the team are not big spenders.

During their rise from the lower league to the Premier League, Bournemouth have resisted big spending and focused mostly on building from within.


Description:

Eldaron stands slightly over six feet in height and carries a slender, but athletic frame. His hair is deep brown in color, which flows down to the bottom of his shoulder blades. Eldaron’s eyes cast a deep forest green color that project a subtle illumination from within. Tending to his devotion to the Druidic arts, he dons fine cloth robes that pay homage to the natural world, in the guise of elaborate runes and intricate filigree.

Bio:

On the 18th day of Desnus, in the year of 4582 of the Absalom Reckoning (AR), Eldaron Trellorn was born to the plane of Golarion. Under the bow of an ancient and revered oak of the druidic Wildwood Lodge, the Isle of Arenway gained its next member of the community. Being the firstchild of Brailen and Aurella Trellorn, Eldaron’s parents wished for him to carry on their druidic tradition. For the next 25 years, Eldaron blended the adventure of childhood with a rigorous milieu among the hidden secrets of nature’s veil.

At the dawn of the Summer Solstice of 4607 AR, Eldaron attended the Wildwood Lodge’s annual Druidic Moot of Ages to accept his rite of passage into the Great Circle of the Old Faith. After seven days of focused preparation, he joined his fellow initiates and was inducted as a druid member of the Lodge. For the next 100 years, Eldaron abundantly contributed to his society’s mystic path and preservation of their ancient faith.

Although Eldaron thoroughly reveled within the activities of the Wildwood Lodge, he seldom ventured beyond the confines
