EACA T20 Blitz
Skipper Danesh Deonarain stroked a well composed half century while Hemchandarbose Persaud blazed 42 to help Liberty Sports Club amass 189 for 7 off 20 overs when they batted first against New York Centurions in their Eastern American Cricket Association T20 Blitz fixture. Terrence Madramootoo then returned to pick up 3 wickets for 9 runs to limit the chase to only 123.

Deonarain won the toss and elected to bat on a well-manicured Bay Park under bright sunshine. Liberty lost opener Andy Harricharran early but staged a decent recovery with Deonarain joining Dilly Khilawan at the crease. The score moved along and LSC would lose Khilawan, Madramootoo and Imtiaz Hassan on the way to 76 for 4 after 12 overs. Needing to up the scoring rate Deonaraintheir openers in the 1st over and continued to lose wickets at regular intervals. Trevor Singh, who was the other opener, held his end till the 18th over but only managed 47. Terrence Madramootoo picked up 3 wickets with his off spinners while Marlon Persaud bowled economically to pick up 1 for 18 off his 4 overs. Andy Harricharran and Vijendra Singh also bowled economically and picked up a wicket each.

The victory means LSC remains undefeated in their Zone with two crucial matches left against Richmond Hill CC and Hillside SC respectively.

In their first T20Blitz encounter Andy Harricharran (49), Dilly Khilawan (37), Imtiaz Hassan (25) & Deonarain (23) led the scoring to get LSC to 175 at Heckshire State Park against Victory CC.

Dry eye is a multifactorial disease of the tears and ocular surface that results in symptoms of discomfort, visual disturbance, and tear film instability with potential damage to the ocular surface. It is accompanied by increased osmolarity of the tear film and inflammation of the ocular surface.
Dry eye may afflict an individual with varying severity. Dry eye is particularly widespread among post-menopausal women due to hormonal changes following the cessation of fertility. In mild cases, a patient may experience burning, a feeling of dryness, and persistent irritation such as is often caused by small bodies lodging between the eye lid and the eye surface.

The dynamic and semi to non-restricted nature of dog populations in most rabies endemic areas is often considered to be a major obstacle to achieve sufficient vaccination coverage. However, we show that feasibility of dog mass vaccination is highly dependent on human determinants of dog population accessibility and the disease awareness of dog owners. Consequently, prior evaluation of the human cultural and socio-economic context is an important prerequisite for planning dog rabies vaccination campaigns.a comfortable position where his knees are bent and wide apart.

Washington • Right-wing activists began rallying at Freedom Plaza in downtown Washington on Saturday morning, where they were met with a heavy police presence as they protested being blocked on social media because of their political views.

About two dozens members of the Proud Boys, a self-proclaimed western-chauvinist fraternal group that believes in ending welfare and closing the borders, marched into the park shortly after 10 a.m.

Police had shut many roads around the plaza and adjacent Pershing Park, where counter demonstrators gathered under the banner "All Out D.C." They are holding a dance and go-go party to drown out what they decry as "the face of white nationalism and supremacy."

The area around Freedom Plaza was heavily barricaded but there was free access to Pershing Park. Among those expected toparticipate in the counter-rally: the Antifa, black-clad anti-fascists who police blame for violence and destruction in a swath of downtown during President Donald Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20, 2017.

Police are trying to avoid a repeat of last month's bloody street brawls in Portland, Oregon, involving members of those two groups. Hours before Saturday's event, D.C. and U.S. Park Police had locked down the two parks along Pennsylvania Avenue, just east of White House.

Massive dump trucks blocked a portion of Pennsylvania Avenue at the southeast and southwest corners of plaza, along with police cars with lights flashing.

Still, restaurants in the area, including Occidental and Cafe du Parc, opened during the rallies. Occidental waiters were setting out glasses and cutlery, and at Cafe du Parc, patrons were munching on biscuits


brown and marginalized people."

The right-wing groups are gathering under the banner Demand Free Speech, the last of three rallies — the first two were in New York and San Francisco — meant to address a wave of social media companies banning right-wing figures from their platforms.

Proud Boys leader and event organizer Luke Rohlfing told the Daily Beast that the event is also aimed at left-wing anti-fascist activists after the violent clash in Portland last week left conservative writer Andy Ngo bloodied, shaken and doused in a vegan milkshake.

Washington is well versed in dealing with protesters. In the summer of 2018, Jason Kessler, one of the organizers of the violent and deadly "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017, chose Washington for an anniversary demonstration. Fewer than40 of the planned 400 supports showed, and were outnumbered by thousands of protesters who shouted "Go home, Nazis!" and "No Trump! No KKK! No fascist USA!"

A massive police presence kept the two sides separated, and outside of a brief confrontation between some Antifa members and police long after the rally had ended, there were no reports of violence.

The scheduled list of speakers for Saturday's rally include several notable figures, though police said as late as Friday it was unclear who among the listed guests would come. They include Milo Yiannopoulos, an incendiary writer who helped make Breitbart News a leading organ of the alt-right and whose appearances in cities and at college campuses has sparked violent reactions.

Also on the list is right-wing journalist Laura Loomer, Gavin McInnes,


the founder of Proud Boys, and Jack Posobiec, known for advancing a number of conspiracy theories, such as those tied to "Pizzagate" and the killing of Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich in a robbery in Washington.

The rally is being two days after Trump's controversial July 4 "Salute to America," which featured added fireworks, a presidential speech and a show of military vehicles, tanks and airplane flyovers.

Fears of violence between Trump supporters and critics did not materialize, though there were some minor clashes on the Mall and a fight outside the White House after a member of a communist group set two American flags on fire on Pennsylvania Avenue.

- - -In the ranges of Peer Panjaal, on the banks of the river Jhelum, along the snowy slopes of Gulmarg, by the scenic side of DaalLake and at the forward posts of Chaukas and Nanak Ghar, we really felt the fever of Kashmir, the paradise on the Earth.

In April, 2006 I got the opportunity to lead a team of 20 cadets of class XI along with the JCO Sub Sandipan Lokare to the 19 Infantry Division located at Jammu and Kashmir. An accomplished Ajeet and the first General officer from the Ajeeth fraternity Maj. Gen. Ramesh Halgali, SM, is the General Officer commanding. This Infantry Division is known as Dagger’s Division. Moreover, our beautiful tour was due to the initiative and liaison of our Principal and Head Master and


keenness of Gen. Halgali.

The aim of our visit was clear. It was to give a first hand exposure of Indian Army in Kashmir to our cadets. Nevertheless, the outcome turned to be more than expected. Our cadets could visit all the places of J & K that every Indian dreams. Be it skiing at Gulmarg, or the jolly ride on highest Gondola in the world (13400 ft), playing with the snowballs, or trekking along LC fence, or visiting of Kaman Aman Sethu, or the INSAAS firing at Uri range. Every bit of our visit was meticulously planned.

Our cadets could meet people; interact with the children of the local schools at Uri, Baramulla and Sultan Daki. They also participated in debate, drawing and cultural competitions. They mesmerized the peopleits involvement in building bridges, roads, schools; providing electricity, water, communication facilities and amenities. In a simple sentence, in the state of J & K Indian Army is doing what a Government has to do.

There were number of occasions when we felt extremely proud of our Army. For instance, after the deadly Earthquake, our soldiers at the border had recovered very fast. They got the advanced, quakeproof and light FRP hutments. They also helped the local people to re-build their houses, while the enemy soldiers across the boarder still living under temporary tents. Most wonderfully, they re-constructed the damaged Kaman Aman Sethu in a record time of eight hours.Thus, repeatedly our Army has proved to be the best in the world.

The height of the five-day long visit was


the campfire and the dinner at the Dagger Cottage, the official residence of the GOC. The warmth and the affection of the General were unforgettable. We could feel his love for the school, for the staff and cadets in every movement of him. With promising hearts, we started our return journey to Bijapur the next day. I have deep faith in my heart that visits as this would create great impact in the young minds and motivate them to fulfill the prime aim of our school. The belief kept on us acts as a catalyst towards that endeavor.The 200 Club of Morris County

Then, in 2012, the appropriations bill expanded the restriction to all Health and Human Services agencies.

Then, came the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting on Dec. 14, 2012, when Adam Lanza opened fire and killed 20 students and six adults. A month later, Obama unveiled a sweeping plan to curb gun violence, but he still needed Congress to approve the research dollars.

Researchers Moved On

When the research was banned, Dr. Arther Kellermann had been working on CDC-funded research on whether home gun possession had potentially protective or hazardous effects on health. Nonprofit organizations helped fund the remainder of the project, but as the years went on, fewer and fewer nonprofits stepped up.

"I did not realize when I wrote an editorial in 1997 that the prohibition would continue for 17 years,"Kellermann said, referring to his American Journal of Public Health piece about the NRA's response to gun research and its parallels to the tobacco industry's response to research linking cigarettes to cancer.

Like many gun violence researchers, Kellermann tried to stay in his field, but after a decade of waiting for the ban to lift, he had to find a different specialty. He now works on policy analysis at the Rand Corp.

Kellermann said he's watched as bumper stickers and slogans replaced statistics and facts over the past two decades. In the last week, a YouTube video of a 15-year-old Maryland girl's pro-gun speech attracted more than 2.3 million views. She cited statistics, but it's not clear where they came from.

"The shutting down or dramatically reducing the flow of new


are still researching gun violence because only a handful of nonprofits are willing to fund it.

"I don't think there's anyone at the CDC who has done significant work in this area in a decade," he said.

David Hemenway, a professor at the Harvard School of Public Health who specializes in injury research, said he cannot "in good conscience" tell his students to pursue careers in gun violence research.

"Don't write your dissertation about guns because it's not going to get any money," said Hemenway, who is considered one of the top gun violence researchers in the country. "All this knowledge is not going to be worth it to them, which is sad."

Wintemute said it's become a tough field to enter because researchers worry about death threats, adding that he himselfJeff Endelman receives Early Career Scientist Award from National Association of Plant Breeders

September 9, 2018 |

By National Association of Plant Breeders

Jeff Endelman, assistant professor of horticulture, was recently honored by the National Association of Plant Breeders with the association’s Early Career Scientist Award. This award recognizes scientists in the early stages of their plant breeding career who exhibit the ability to establish strong research foundations, to interact with multi-disciplinary teams, and to participate in relevant professional societies.

Endelman studied computational science for many years before discovering his calling as a plant breeder. As a graduate student in bioengineering at Caltech, he developed computational methods to optimize the in vitro evolution of enzymes and spent many weekends observing native plants in the wilderness areas of southern California.

Endelman left academia for


two years to work on small vegetable farms, by which time he realized a career in plant breeding was the perfect way to combine his interests. He returned to graduate school to complete a PhD in Crop Science at Washington State University, where he conducted research on barley breeding and genetics. Toward the end of his PhD he created the software package rrBLUP for genome-wide prediction, which has been cited over 500 times. As a postdoc at Cornell University, he continued to research genomic selection by improving its theoretical foundation for inbred lines and investigating the optimal allocation of resources.

In 2013 Endelman joined the faculty at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to lead the potato breeding program. Over the past five years, he has overseen the release of 10divisional planning offices.

Yet just one of those offices — based in Omagh — met every target for processing applications, and in only two of the six financial years.

Some £34,790 in special and non-consolidated bonuses were paid to staff at the Downpatrick office — which failed to hit a single target for processing applications in any of the six years — and which was singled out for criticism in the PAC report. Last month's report also found that four officials who oversaw the flagship IT project, e-PIC — which is lagging four years behind schedule and £7million over budget — were given bonuses totalling £60,000.

SDLP Assembly member Patsy McGlone, who is a member of the PAC, said he was astonished by the bonus payments. “It is unbelievable that officials

When performing various procedures with the oral cavity, it is often desirable, if not necessary, for the dental practitioner to slow or divert the flow of saliva produced by the salivary glands. There are four principle salivary glands within the oral cavity. The two parotid salivary glands are located inside the mouth and near each ear. There are also two sublingual salivary glands located near the base of the tongue. The vast majority of saliva produced enters a patient's mouth through these principle salivary glands. A minor amount also enters through the mucosals. Several devices and techniques have been employed in order to prevent the saliva from interfering with the dental practitioner's work inside the oral cavity.

More than 100 House Republicans have now co-sponsored a measure to bring legal action against President Barack Obama for overstepping the boundaries of his executive authority.

The STOP (Stop This Overreaching Presidency) resolution, introduced by GOP Rep. Tom Rice of South Carolina late last year, has gained 43 co-sponsors since Obama's State of the Union address, when he vowed to implement policies on his own if Congress didn't act, bringing the total to 104, reportsThe Hill.

The bill is aimed at reversing the president's extension of healthcare policies that were ended under Obamacare, delaying the healthcare law's employer mandate for a year, adoption of the DREAM Act, and waiving part of the work requirements for welfare, Rice told the publication.

Today is Memorial Day, the day we in the States set aside specifically to honor and remember men and women who have died in military service. I wanted to do a post for Memorial Day and I started thinking about the current war in Iraq. After zipping around in Wikipedia for a while, I found my way to an entry entitled “Multi-National Force – Iraq“. In a subsection, Deaths, it listed the numbers of deaths of those serving in the Multi-National Force through January 2010 as 4,692 (this absolutely does not include Iraqi deaths). In another Wikipedia entry “Casualties of the Iraq War” the breakdown is such:

There are quite a few exceptions and justifications provided for the numbers above, including alternate estimates from multiple reporting


million barrels per day, OPEC output reached a three-year high.

This increase in output occurs with the context of a narrow global demand opportunity. Growth in demand in 2015, which the IEA forecasts to average around 1.4 million barrels per day, comes primarily from Asia and North America. In other major export markets, demand is stagnant. That has oil exporting countries, including OPEC members, Russia and others, focusing their sales on Asia, particularly China. North American demand is growing now that oil prices are low, but due to high levels of domestic production, the U.S. is no longer a growth market for oil exporters.

Each producer, therefore, is incentivized to undercut other producers directly (price per barrel) or indirectly (absorbing shipping cost or delivery risk) to win sales in Asiabiggest in Italy with a population of about 315,000.

A quick history of Catania, as told by The Internet: it was founded in the 8th century BC and – like the rest of Sicily – has changed hands a lot over the centuries: the Carthaginians, Romans, Moors, Normans and Spanish, to name a few, have all held it. Catania has been repeatedly destroyed by natural disaster, usually earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. Accordingly, a lot of its architecture is “newer,” done in the Baroque style after a 1693 earthquake.

When Elfland connected to the world’s major cities, Miami was nuked, but elsewhere an uneasy accommodation was reached; in the borderlands known as Shadow, elves are mortal, and both technology and magic work erratically.

State Mike Pompeo said Thursday during a press briefing.

The secretary of state and longtime Iran hawk said Iran's "unprovoked" attacks are part of a campaign to escalate tension in the region and disrupt the flow of the international oil trade (if we can't sell our oil, nobody can, would appear to be the logic). He also said that Tehran rejected Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's outreach for diplomacy.

Here's an abridged version of Pompeo's statement, courtesy of CNN:

"It is the assessment by the United States government that the Islamic Republic of Iran is responsible for the attacks that occurred in the Gulf of Oman today," Pompeo told reporters at the US State Department. "This assessment is based on intelligence, the weapons used, the level of expertise needed to execute theoperation, recent similar Iranian attacks on shipping, and the fact that no proxy group operating in the area has the resources and proficiency to act with such a high degree of sophistication."

Pompeo followed up his remarks with a tweet:

It is the assessment of the U.S. government that Iran is responsible for today's attacks in the Gulf of Oman. These attacks are a threat to international peace and security, a blatant assault on the freedom of navigation, and an unacceptable escalation of tension by Iran. pic.twitter.com/cbLrWNU5S0 — Secretary Pompeo (@SecPompeo) June 13, 2019

The US is planning to raise concerns about Iran at the UN Security Council, Pompeo said, which is planning to meet to discuss the attacks at 4 pm ET. The US has already presented evidence to the


called the attack a "major escalation", and reiterated in what sounded to us like a thinly veiled threat that Saudi Arabia has the capacity to protect its vital institutions.

You may remember that the Houthis have over the last year repeatedly fired missiles (with mixed success) at Saudi oil fields and even came close to successfully bombing a royal palace.

Earlier, over in the UK, a spokesperson for the government called the attack on civilian oil tankers "completely unacceptable" and said the UK was ready to assist in the rescue effort and investigation.

Meanwhile, senior officials from the US and UAE have attributed the attack to a "state actor," though they neglected to explicitly name Iran.

All this is happening before the investigation into the attacks has even begun. And BBG's JavierBlas pointed out that should Iran be found responsible, it would be a strange turn of events since the Front Altair is owned by John Frederiksen, the owner of the Frontline Tanker company, who moved oil for Iran during the "tanker war" with Iraq.

A small note from our TOPLive blog on @TheTerminal earlier today. If #Iran is behind the attacks (and that's a big if), it would be a really, really strange turn of events as one of the tankers attacked is owned by Norwegian shipping tycoon John Fredriksen | #OOTT pic.twitter.com/umzYKqrNdc — Javier Blas (@JavierBlas) June 13, 2019

And with the John Bolton probably already in Trump's ear, trying to convince him that "the nuclear option" (that is, actually nuking Iran) finally needs to be put back on


attacks." He also dismissed Iran's claim that it helped rescue the crews of both ships as "patently false," adding that the USS Bainbridge picked up 21 crew members. Iran said it dispatched a rescue team that picked up all 44 crew members from the two damaged vessels.

Members of the crew of one ship told CBS's correspondent that they believed the ship had been hit by a torpedo or a mine, but that the exact nature of the attack couldn't be confirmed.

Even more ominously: The official told CBS News that "any retaliation" from the US would depend on whether it can recover hard evidence linking the attacks to Iran, something the official expects they will find after a search of the debris.

After four tankers were attacked last month inIran's Foreign Minister Javad Zarif has noted how suspicious it is that a Japanese owned vessel would be attacked while Iranian leaders were meeting with the Japanese prime minister in Tehran.

Reported attacks on Japan-related tankers occurred while PM @AbeShinzo was meeting with Ayatollah @khamenei_ir for extensive and friendly talks.

Suspicious doesn't begin to describe what likely transpired this morning.

Iran's proposed Regional Dialogue Forum is imperative. — Javad Zarif (@JZarif) June 13, 2019

And as one BBG analyst pointed out: "Fingers will certainly be pointed at Iran as the mastermind behind these events. But the potential benefits to the Persian Gulf nation are outweighed by the risks. And even if Tehran isn't responsible, it will still suffer the consequences."

Several American warships were nearby when the attack unfolded, per radio traffic, which


also showed some signs of tensions with Iranian vessels: "American warship identifying itself as 'Coalition Warship' stating they have multiple vessels and aircraft in the vicinity. Iranian Navy calling vessels asking their intention in the area."

Meanwhile, the first reported photos of the deck of the Front Altair have surfaced online...and it certainly looks like the ship was hit by a torpedo-like projectile.

* * *

Update: The Front Altair, the Marshall Islands flag tanker damaged in Thursday's attacks, has now sunk, according to Iranian television. Later, others denied these reports.

If accurate, the sinking could have a serious impact on oil prices and the environment, as the ship contained twice the amount of oil as Exxon-Valdez.

While some sources cited torpedoes as the weapons used in the attacks, another said officials suspectedbe implicated looks extremely likely, even as South Korean and Iranian ships helped rescue all 44 sailors who were aboard the two ships. Iran has already denied responsibility for the attack.

The manager of one of the tankers, the Panama-flagged, Japanese-owned Kokuka Courageous, which had been carrying a cargo of methanol from Saudi Arabia to Singapore, said the vessel had been damaged as the result of "a suspected attack" by a "shell" though the manager added that the ship's cargo was secure.

"The hull has been breached above the water line on the starboard side," Bernhard Schulte GmbH & Co KG said in a statement on its website.

Another tanker, Norwegian-owned and Marshall Islands-flagged Front Altair, sent a distress signal to the UAE port of Fujairah. It had loaded an oil


shipment in Abu Dhabi not long before the incident. The ship was reportedly hit with three explosions.

Officials said it appeared the ships had been attacked with torpedoes. Another report cited officials saying three detonations had been heard.

The Front Altair was delivering a cargo of naphtha to Taiwan refiner CPC Corp, one company official said. The cargo was supplied by Abu Dhabi’s Adnoc.

Considering the involvement of the Japan-flagged vessel, the timing of the incident would be ironic. The suspected attacks unfolded as Japanese PM Shinzo Abe met with Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Thursday, the second and final day of his visit, which was intended to de-escalate tensions in the region. There were no immediate details about what they discussed.

Oil prices are popping higher on the news,as the latest replay of one of history's most famous false-flag naval attacks, the Gulf of Tonkin incident, which helped precipitate the Vietnam war, ratchets up tensions in the region. At one point, Brent crude was up as much as 4% to over $62 a barrel.

At the very least, the US military will use the attack as an excuse to continue its escalation of personnel in one of the most sensitive waterways for the global oil trade. According to the EIA, 19% of all oil traded by sea passes through the Strait of Hormuz.

Worst case, it looks like NSA John Bolton may have just gotten the excuse he needs to justify a full-scale invasion of Iran, which we imagine will soon be confirmed as being behind the attacks.


works created in fifteen different years, allowing visitors to explore some of the changes and continuities that have shaped her work through time.

Construction for Line IX, 1963, acrylic on wire-sewn canvas, 48" x 48". Collection of the artist.

I've known Stuart since 2013; she was actually one of the first artists I met after I arrived at the Museum, so it's been very satisfying to finally be able to show her work here. Interestingly enough, her husband, Joseph Stuart, was the director of the Roswell Museum during the early 1960s, and they both have colorful memories of this town during that time. The RMAC also has two of Stuart's works in the collection, one of which, Sleepwave, was featured in one of the very first shows I curated atthe RMAC, Subject to Change. Stuart is greatly impressed with the growth and development that has taken place in the Museum over the last several decades, and is excited to show her work here. Anyway, let's talk more about Stuart and her work.

The natural world is her greatest influence. For several years she lived and worked as an art professor in Brookings, SouthDakota, where she was deeply influenced by the landscapes of the Badlands and other regions. After relocating to Santa Fe in the 1990s, her work began incorporating the palette and textures of her New Mexico environs. Stuart’s interest in nature also extends to its most fundamental processes. Subatomic vibrations,electromagnetic waves of light and sound, fields of energy,and other phenomena that are invisible but essential to life


put an end to their livelihood as hand loomers. Several of the siblings achieved artistic success, usually within the genre of landscape, but the best known of this group is the artist we'll be discussing today, Thomas Moran (1837-1926).

Moran started out his artistic career apprenticing to Scattergood and Telfer, a wood engraving firm. During the 19th century, before photography had sufficiently evolved to become economically feasible, wood engraving was the most commonly used form of image reproduction. It provided the precision and detail of traditional metal engraving, but the use of wooden blocks made it a lot cheaper. Moran admittedly wasn't a fan of the process though, as engraving can be very time-consuming and repetitiv…

Today we'll be looking one of the 20th century's seminal etchers, Stanley William Hayter(1901-1988).

Originally from London, Hayter started out his career in the oil industry after earning his degrees in chemistry and geology. From 1922 to 1925, he worked for the Anglo-Persian Oil Company in Iran, until a bout with malaria forced him to return home. During this time of convalescence, he had a successful one-man show of his paintings and drawings, which may have inspired him to pursue a more artistic calling. Although he soon switched over to art, his chemical background would undoubtedly influence his later printmaking.

In 1926, Hayter went to study at the Academie Julian in Paris, and opened his own printmaking atelier, Atelier 17, in 1927. It was also during this time that he was introduced to Surrealism, particularly as interpreted by artists such as Yves Tanguy

DELRAY BEAH, Florida -- A rat was seen crawling around near snacks inside a Florida school vending machine, WPTV reports.

The video went viral on social media, and the incident caused students to scream, and parents to cringe.

In the video, the rat is seen climbing through the machine and coming in contact with the packaged snacks.

"I was horrified actually to see that at a public school that this would go on," Latoya Johnson, a parent, said.

Johnson said her daughter recorded the rat running through the vending machine inside Atlantic Community High School.

Student Damian Swint says he saw the rodent before he went to wrestling practice.

"I was about to buy a Gatorade out the vending machine, so I looked next to it and it's


The agency in charge of dealing with overcrowded conditions at migrant facilities near the southern border is severely understaffed at the leadership level.

The president has demanded the Department of Homeland Security contain the surge of immigrants at the border and deport millions who are in the country illegally. But he has failed to staff the highest levels of the agency and its departments, which include Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Homeland Security now has the lowest percentage of Senate-confirmed presidential appointments of any agency in the federal government, according to data from the Partnership for Public Service, a nonpartisan nonprofit that tracks key executive branch nominations.

Only 41 percent of the top jobs at the agency are filled by personnel confirmed by the Senate, the group'snomination or confirmation, compared to 270 in May.

The gains would be more pronounced if not for the tumult at the DHS, where "there are multiple positions that have been filled many times" because of an unprecedented volume of turnover, Stier said.

Trump pushed out DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and her deputy in April, and named Kevin McAleenan acting secretary. He's the fourth person to hold the position since Trump took office, but the president has yet to officially nominate him for the job.

McAleenan had been the head of Customs and Border Protection, so his appointment created another opening there.

John Sanders became acting head of CBP, but announced he was resigning late last month. "I don't think I've ever spoken to him," Trump said afterwards. "We're moving some people around


into different locations."

Sanders is being replaced by Mark Morgan — who had just become the acting head of ICE in May. Trump had nominated ICE acting director Ronald Vitiello for the permanent job, but pulled his nomination and nominated Morgan instead because, he said, he wanted someone "tougher."

Mark Morgan, chief of the US Border Patrol, testifies at a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing on "Initial Observations of the New Leadership at the US Border Patrol" on Capitol Hill on Nov. 30, 2016. Nicholas Kamm / AFP - Getty Images file

That means the person who preceded Morgan as acting ICE director, Matthew Albence, will now replace him as acting ICE director.

It's unclear when, or even if, some of Trump's latest appointments will ever be formally nominated.

TheBRASÍLIA — There is a new song going around the World Cup, a ditty sung by the Argentines to taunt their Brazilian hosts and longstanding rivals. The gist is simple. It asks the Brazilians how they feel about being bossed around in their own country and tells them to prepare for an Argentine championship on their own soil.

It ends with the most incendiary statement of all: “Maradona es mas grande que Pele.”

Even the Argentine players were singing it in their locker room after their 1-0 victory against Switzerland on Tuesday, just the latest salvo fired in one of international soccer’s greatest rivalries.

The song, provocative and perhaps disrespectful, will probably be heard at Estádio Nacional on Saturday, when Argentina plays Belgium in a World Cup quarterfinal, as it was

The legendary forward, who played 133 games for the All Blacks from 1957-1971 and was named 'Player of The Century' in 1999, has always been a no fuss, no bother, kind of New Zealand bloke.

It is this attitude that has made him so beloved by rugby fans the world over, and indeed by locals who know him well for his humble, down-to earth nature.

So it's no surprise the 80-year-old's initial reaction to the statue plan was to wonder why people would want to see it.

However, the reaction from rugby's national body is quite the opposite.

New Zealand Rugby chairman Brent Impey said,


Hanna, who has been a driving force behind getting the statue project off the ground, is very pleased the man known the world over as Pinetree will soon be immortalised.

"This will be a fantastic tribute to our most famous legend.

"It is great New Zealand Rugby is right behind this opportunity to pay homage to Sir Colin, in the rightful place - his hometown.

"A statue of Sir Colin is well overdue."

Accused Did Not Murder Under Hypnotic Influence, Say Experts

You are under my power.When you awake, youwill know nothing of whatyou have done!

The New York police had a rather nasty crime to solve in 1889, and they decided to bring in hypnosis experts in order to help unravel it, according to an article on the Evening World of March 27, 1889. One William Krulisch, described as a "Bohemian boy" (likely, then, an Hungarian immigrant) was was 17-year-old employed by a apothecary. He was accused of murdering clerk in the same establishment with a hatchet. The victim, Gunther Wechsung, managed to describe the attack before expiring:

In a broken, incoherent way he murmured: "I was sitting on the sofa—tying—shoestring. Somebody hit me—chopped me—lots of times."

to find his way of learning new pocket skills naturally; seems they are forcing their cookie cutter tactics on him. A great QB coach would learn about their player and find a more fluid way of developing them...everyone learns differently.

ey was saying how Robert was learning bad habits and it was good for him to be benched. He wasn't saying that was THE reason, but rather why he was in favor of him being benched.

The entire team struggled this year while Robert was learning a new way of seeing the game; that's a trainwrech situation for ANY QB.

With a better oline and upgraded targets, he will soar. Getting that brace off will free his mind more as well.

In 1994, at the age of 20, he made history when he founded Argentina’s first Internet Services Provider. In 1998, Casares founded the online brokerage Patagon, an Internet-based financial services portal. The startup was eventually scooped up for a cool $750 million.

Casares later launched a successful video game development firm that gaming goliath Activision acquired. He also created a retail bank that grew to more than 7,000 branches in marginalized neighborhoods throughout Brazil and provided 15 million customers with their first bank accounts. It was another triumphant venture acquired for a hefty sum. Steamrolling ahead, Casares then founded Lemon, a digital


wallet startup that LifeLock purchased for $43 million in 2013.

Today Casares, now 40, a college dropout and self-taught coder, is the chief executive officer of yet another promising technology startup, Palo Alto, Calif.-based Xapo. He co-founded the bitcoin wallet, bitcoin storage and bitcoin debit card provider, described as “an FDIC for BTC,” in 2012 with payments industry veteran Federico Murrone. To date, the company has secured $40 million in venture capital, with backing from some of Silicon Valley's biggest players, including Benchmark, Greylock Partners, Index Ventures and PayPal co-founder Max Levchin, Yahoo co-founder Jerry Yang and the Winklevoss twins.

The UK Army has been readying up to be deployed on the streets of British cities if such a need arises amid the coronavirus outbreak, the Daily Mail reported, citing a note written by General Sir Nicholas Carter, head of the country’s Armed Forces. The possible deployment is expected to last up to six months according to the media outlet.

in Africa, speaking of “the yearnings of peace that burns in the human heart,” but clearly not in Obama’s heart.

Obama has turned America into a surveillance state that has far more in common with Stasi East Germany than with the America of the Kennedy and Reagan eras. Strange, isn’t it, that freedom was gained in East Germany and lost in America.

At the Brandenburg Gate, Obama invoked the pledge of nations to “a Universal Declaration of Human Rights,” but Obama continues to violate human rights both at home and abroad.

Obama has taken hypocrisy to new heights. He has destroyed US civil liberties guaranteed by the Constitution. In place of a government accountable to law, he has turned law into a weapon in the hands of the government. He hasintimidated a free press and prosecutes whistleblowers who reveal his government’s crimes. He makes no objection when American police brutalize peacefully protesting citizens. His government intercepts and stores in National Security Agency computers every communication of every American and also the private communications of Europeans and Canadians, including the communications of the members of the governments, the better to blackmail those with secrets.

Obama sends in drones or assassins to murder people in countries with which the US is not at war, and his victims on most occasions turn out to be women, children, farmers, and village elders. Obama kept Bradley Manning in solitary confinement for nearly a year assaulting his human dignity in an effort to break him and obtain a false confession. In defiance of the US


U.S. authorities banned nearly all 'crop dusting', or aerial spraying of crops, in the United States on Sunday following concerns about a potential terrorist threat. Employees of one Florida crop dusting company say they believe a key suspect in the September 11 terror attacks had been to their office to ask about the possible use of the planes.

J.D. Lee manages the South Florida Crop Care company in Palm Beach County north of Miami. He says the man authorities have identified as Mohamed Atta, the suspect believed to have flown one of the two jetliners into the World Trade Center, twice visited his company, accompanied by several other men. "I did talk to them a few times. Every time they came they would ask the same questions. And oneof the gentlemen that works here picked out one of [the suspects] that he recognized and said he had been here twice," said Mr. Lee.

Mr. Lee contacted the FBI last week after he and his employees saw pictures of Mohamed Atta on television. Mr. Lee says the suspect and the men who accompanied him repeatedly inquired about learning to fly crop dusting planes. He says the questions struck him as odd at the time, but not sinister - until the terrorist attacks. "They would come and ask questions about airplanes and stuff," he said. "They indicated they were students, foreign students in this country learning how to fly so they could go home and get a job. They asked how hard these airplanes are to fly, and I


generally cold-formed copper bars, which are inserted in receiving grooves of the stack of sheets of the rotor and are hard-soldered on their front ends, respectively, with one of two short circuit rings, which generally are either cast from copper or are stacked from multiple stamped copper sheets. As a result of the soldering of the short circuit bars with the short circuit rings, however, the physical properties of the copper material that is utilized are drastically decreased in the area of the solder points and around these points. As a result, with high speeds, the elastic limit of the material is exceeded, which leads to plastic deformation. This deformation takes the form of bowing out or warping, which begins in the inner diameter of the short circuity durante la primera mitad del siglo XIX. Muchos de estos pintores coexistieron cronológicamente con los artistas clásicos e incluso se dio entre ellos cierto grado de rivalidad. Algunos de los pintores europeos de la última mitad del siglo XVIII y la primera mitad del diecinueve se interesaban explícitamente por lo irracional, como Henry Fuseli en su _Pesadilla_ y Francisco de Goya en algunas de sus pinturas violentas o negras y en sus escenas de muerte y locura. Théodore Géricault exploró la locura médica en algunas de sus pinturas más pequeñas, y los temas de la muerte, el canibalismo y la corrupción política en su masiva y ampulosa obra _La balsa de la Medusa_. Mucho más sutiles fueron los pintores de este periodo que exploraron los efectos emocionales


pero estos proyectos de colaboración y actividades de grupo no se le daban de manera natural a Nolde. A través de los copiosos escritos que nos legó, surge la imagen de Nolde como un visionario solitario.

Algunas de las pinturas más espectaculares de Nolde son sus marinas. El mar, especialmente en sus momentos más cambiantes como el atardecer, el amanecer y el otoño, era uno de sus temas más persistentes aunque siempre cambiantes. Nolde lo pintaba, sin necesidad de detalles anecdóticos, en un amplio rango de estados de ánimo y efectos del clima. Se ha dicho que únicamente Turner antes que él había logrado pintar semejante dramatismo y evocaciones sensibles en escenas del mar. Tan sólo en 1910, Nolde creó una serie de trece paisajes marinos de otoño. EstaJames Dewitt Yancey, who is better known by his fans and those in the music industry as J Dilla, Dilla, or Jay Dee, is without a doubt one of the most important and influential individuals in the history of hip-hop. The Detroit native, who is widely considered to be the best producer of all time, has had an impact on the music industry that cannot be measured and will certainly never be equaled. His specific style of production and work with groups and artists such as A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Common, The Roots, Mos Def, Busta Rhymes, Slum Village, MF Doom, Erykah Badu, along with endless amounts of other iconic artists, is what has separated him from any other producer in hip-hop and placed him


in a tier all by himself.

With Dilla passing away on February 10th, of 2006, at the young age of thirty-two, due to a complicated and rare blood disease, and his birthday falling on February 7th, that specific four day span on the calendar each year has become a designated stretch of days for the hip-hop community and his fans worldwide to celebrate the life and legacy of the beloved hip-hop icon. With this year being the year that he would have turned forty years old, the tributes and memorials that were being held for Dilla across the globe, carried a little more significance than in recent years.

As his legacy and the awareness of his impact and music grows, so do the festivities being held around honoring his life.His mother, Maureen “Ma Dukes” Yancey, who was also Dilla’s closest friend and by his side throughout his sickest days and all the way until the last moments of his life, has become the face and soul of Dilla’s resonating legacy. She is well-known throughout the hip-hop community, and has been the main contributor and ambassador in continuing the awareness of her son’s life and his music. With the main Dilla Day event being held by Ma Dukes, his family, foundation and closest friends at The Fillmore in Detroit this year, we made our way out to the motor city to show our respects to Dilla Dawg. With a monumental line-up of hip-hop legends to perform at the event, including De La Soul, Phife Dawg from A Tribe


times, and that was an advantage to him that might not necessarily be orthodox in most households. He had such an ability to really genuinely embrace all of those genres of music, and then make it so people could grasp and love those same genres through listening to his own creations.

You mentioned how music was always present in the household. I know you were involved in some Opera, and Dilla’s father was a Jazz bassist. Does that love for music in the family tree go even deeper than that?

Yes! This family has been based around music from the beginning and has had musical artists throughout it. Music is actually how his grandfather and grandmother met. They both played the piano in silent movies, and met while working inthat same field. The love for music throughout the family just went on from there. His grandfather was working in coal mines but still always maintained his love for music on the side. As you mentioned, his dad played music for almost twenty-five years. He played the upright bass and sang some doo-wop and acapella jazz. I personally studied and performed both opera and classical music. So for all of us to have that love and appreciation for music allowed us the ability to be more patient with our children and how music touched and affected them.

What were some of those specific sounds and musicians that Dilla was being introduced to back when he was a child, that he inevitably carried with him and eventually incorporated into his


own style of music?

He had such a deep desire and love for soul music, and his first influence was James Brown. And of course music like that will initially bridge the gap for a young boy, when it comes to tying in the blues, rock, funk, jazz and classical type of sound all in one. My mother listened to so many different kinds of music, and because she worked downtown where our restaurant was, whether it was there or at our home, she was around almost every day, and she would always have some kind of music playing for us. I was also doing a lot of rehearsals back then and was always around other musicians. Sometimes we would end up back at our apartment, and I wouldexperience all of that. He danced like he had no bones in his body. It was scary as a mother, you know just letting him explore that and have no inhibitions, but he was quite proficient at it and he loved it. Generally, any time they would have break-dance battles around the neighborhood, he would win.

So before getting into high school and meeting Baatin and T3 (original members of Slum Village) which took him down the path of hip-hop music, what kind of musical endeavors was he getting involved in that started shaping his musical talents?

Dilla sang in church choir and began playing instruments very early on. One of the things that ended up making his music so special is that he would infuse all of those instruments


he was familiar with into his music. He was first a cello player, he also had formal piano instruction around five years old, but the cello was something he mastered right away. Not that he had an intense desire to play the cello as he got into high school, because he certainly didn’t (laughs). He wanted to play drums, but there was no position in the school band for him to do that. So since he had training in the cello, his teacher convinced him to do that so he could be in the band. Other than that, he was always on the turntables. He just constantly stayed on them. He started on the fisher-price turntables at two years old, and never looked back. He was never asTwice he had to learn how to walk again. He learned several times to swallow again. He had to learn how to write again. He had medicine available to alleviate some of that pain, but it made him sleepy. So he would choose to only take a limited amount of the pain medication, just so he could stay awake and keep working. It was truly remarkable how much strength music gave him in those moments. When it would become too much for him, I would try to encourage him. Never enough to push him, but I knew the spirit of my child, and it was just a different kind of spirit. He was so very special.

The Holy Martyrs of North America Dear Parishioners of Our Beloved St. Paul: Praised be Jesus Christ and His Most Holy Mother Mary! On October 19th the Church celebrates the liturgical memorial of the Holy North American martyrs. These were eight Frenchmen, both priests and lay faithful, who gave their lives gloriously for the faith in the vast regions of North America during the middle of the seventeenth century. They suffered and died in what is now New York State and the Canadian provinces of Quebec and Ontario. For our own purposes we will look at one of these martyrs who gave his life for Our Lord in our own New York State about ten miles west of Albany. Isaac Jogues was born and raised in Brittany inthe north west of France. From a young age he had the desire to journey to the vast wilderness of North America and there preach the grace of the redemption to the Native Huron, Mohawk and Algonquin peoples. After his ordination to the sacred priesthood in the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) he began an academic career in Paris teaching what we would call today High School Latin. But his heart called him to North America and eventually his superiors allowed him to go there. Leaving the most cultured and advanced society on earth in Paris, he made the long voyage to North America. There he gave himself completely for the service of the Native Americans. He tirelessly worked for the conversion of the Mohawk, Huron and Algonquin


nations but was met with great resistance for these nations were enslaved by the devil. That can be the only explanation for the horrible tortures that were visited upon him. In fact in an act of savagery originating from hell itself, Father Jogues fingers were bitten down to stubs. Miraculously, he escaped his captors (with the help of the friendly Dutch who ruled New York at that time). He made his way back to France and, in a very moving scene, was reunited with his Jesuit confreres in Brittany on Christmas day. This is how it came to pass. The Dutch ship dropped him off in Brittany which they would be passing on their way to Holland. He ran to the Jesuit House and knocked on the door.After eight years in the wilderness he was unrecognizable and presented a frightening countenance. Nevertheless, the father Superior met him in the visitor’s room, and, after learning he had just returned from North America, asked him, “Do you know anything of our dear Father Jogues? We have not heard from or of him in eight years.” Father Jogues rose from his chair and exclaimed, “Not only do I know of him; the man who speaks with you now is he!” It was a tearful reunion. Father Jogues went to Paris where King Louis XIV rose from his throne and kissed his mangled hands, calling him a martyr of Christ. The Pope himself granted a dispensation so that Father Jogues could celebrate Holy Mass without the use of his

River safari – Kinabatangan River, Sabah

Kinabatangan River is the longest river in Sabah. It is home to one of the world's most diverse ecosystems, especially around its lower basin. The Lower Kinabatangan forest-covered floodplain – one of the largest in the country – is a renowned wildlife sanctuary where exotic species such as Proboscis monkeys, Sumatran rhinos and Asian elephants can be found. A river safari is the best way to discover Kinabatangan's rich ecosystem and abundant wildlife.

a subway line into Scarborough — was never really settled, until this past January. That's when city planners, Mayor John Tory and councillors agreed to a new, shortened line that would include just one stop at the Scarborough Town Centre.

The new plan eliminates two of three stops along the proposed subway line, saving close to $1 billion. The extra money would go toward extending the Eglinton Crosstown LRT eastbound to the University of Toronto's Scarborough campus..Image copyright AFP Image caption Italian banks including Monte dei Paschi di Siena have been under pressure

Shares in Italian banks have continued their recovery after falling sharply on Monday in response to Prime Minister Matteo Renzi's referendum defeat.

Shares in Monte dei Paschi, one of Italy's most troubled banks, rose nearly 9% on new hopes of a rescue.

Reports suggested the government was poised to step in and prop up the bank and other ailing lenders.

However, an Italian Treasury spokesman denied that the government was seeking a bailout loan from the EU.

La Stampa newspaper had reported that Rome would be asking for €15bn (£12.7bn; $16.1bn) from the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) to help the Italian banking system.

At the same time, Reuters quoted unnamed sources as saying that the government would

One of the journalist Lafcadio Hearn’s earliest books was a collection of adaptations of Chinese legends—which he completed even though he actually knew next to nothing of the Chinese language. While working on the proofs for the book, he corresponded frequently with his friend Elizabeth Bisland, a former colleague at the New Orleans Times Democrat who had moved in1887 to New York to become an editor at Vogue. (Bisland would became famous two years later, when she raced New York World reporter Nellie Bly around the world, attempting to beat Phileas Fogg's fictitious record in the famous Jules Verne novel. She lost the race, although both women made the trip in less than eighty days.) Hearn’s letters to Bisland included updates about his struggling career as fiction writer and anecdotes about the remarkable characters he continued to meet in New Orleans. In one letter he complained that his latest attempt to learn Chinese had ended in failure. “My last pet was a Chinese doctor, whose name I cannot even pronounce. He tried to teach me Chinese; but I discovered the nasal tones almost impossible to imitate.”

Pop culture critic and former Sacramento Bee editor Bruce Dancis opens his recent memoir Resister: A Story of Protest and Prison during the Vietnam War by recalling the following incident:

On December 14, 1966, at the age of eighteen, I stood before a crowd of three hundred people at Cornell University, read a statement denouncing the war in Vietnam and the draft, and tore my draft card into four pieces. I then walked over to a nearby mailbox and sent my statement and the four pieces of my card to my draft board in the Bronx, New York, informing the Selective Service System I would not fight in Vietnam and would no longer cooperate with themountain-climbing in August 1967. In the following selection, written a few weeks later, Matty’s father remembers his son’s role in the nascent antiwar movement. Lawrence Rosenwald adds additional comments about Paul Goodman in the headnote that precedes the piece, which is included in the new LOA collection War No More: Three Centuries of American Antiwar and Peace Writing.

Thirty-five years ago Muhammad Ali and Red Smith both came to the end of their respective careers. Ali, of course, had spent the better part of two decades as a professional boxer and was the only three-time heavyweight champion of the world. His last fight was on December 11, 1981, in the Bahamas, where he lost a ten-round decision to Trevor Berbick. Smith had been a sportswriter for fifty years, most famously at The New York Herald Tribune with a final decade at The New York Times. One month after Ali’s last fight, he announced he was scaling back his column from four times weekly to three. “We shall have to wait and see whether the quality improves.” He died of heart failure fourbe winning and contrite. He has already conceded that he did pop-off out of turn.” Two months later, however, Ali was arrested and convicted for refusing to be inducted into the U.S. military.

Smith did eventually change his mind about Ali. On Christmas Day 1981—two weeks before his final column—he named Ali’s retirement the biggest sporting event of the year.

For boxing, it was the end of an era; for the press and public, it was the curtain scene of an act that had played for two decades. . . . He made himself the most widely known individual in the world, an athlete respected universally; a folk hero, especially to the rebellious youth of the 1960s, when he “didn't have nothin’ against them Viet Cong”; a gag man considered

In 1887 Charles W. Chesnutt became the first African American writer whose fiction appeared in the pages of the prestigious Atlantic Monthly. “Before Chesnutt’s,” contends the late Dean McWilliams, “no fiction written by a Negro had received serious attention from America’s white literary establishment.” He continued to place stories in The Atlantic and other national magazines and, in the seven years leading up to 1905, Chesnutt published three novels, two story collections, and a biography of Frederick Douglass. “And then silence—or so it seemed,” McWilliams continues. “Chesnutt published a few essays and several more stories, but there were no more book-length publications before his death in 1932.” He was discouraged by thepoor critical and commercial reception of his last novel, The Colonel’s Dream, and the editors of the The Atlantic and other magazines increasingly declined to publish his stories.

Concerned with the ongoing struggle to support his family, Chesnutt turned his attention to his business career and social standing in his hometown. He received a law degree from Wilberforce University and became a member of the Cleveland Council of Sociology, a civic improvement group; the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce; and the exclusive Rowfant Club, a local bibliophile society that had initially turned down his application because it did not admit African Americans. A decade later, in 1916, an old acquaintance from his salad days in North Carolina wrote Chesnutt in praise of his books and wondered why he was no


Will Peter Boyles Bring a Birthers' Billboard to Colorado?

Deck

Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson writes, "If there's been a more clinically insane political phenomenon in my lifetime than the 'birthers,' I've missed it. Is this what our national discourse has come to? Sheer paranoid fantasy?"
The birthers don't believe Barack Obama was born in the United States, meaning he therefore cannot be president (the state of Hawaii has confirmed Obama was born there).
Yet KHOW talk-show host Peter Boyles wouldn't agree with Robinson's statements, joining Cory Gardner, a candidate for the 4th Congressional District seat held by Democrat Betsy Markey, in his doubt of the president's birthplace. As Westword notes, Boyles is pushing to put up a billboard asking, "Where's the Birth Certificate?" It wouldn't be a first. The Washington Independentrecently noted one reported billboard siting in Louisiana.
While Boyles' birthers cred is rising, he's still not the king of the issue. That honor goes to Glenn Beck, who recently enjoyed a birther rant with fellow talk-show host Rush Limbaugh.
"I fear this government, this administration has so much framework already prepared, that they will seize power overnight before anybody even gives it a second thought," Beck said.
Maybe somebody should tell him that Obama and the Democrats already seized power of the government---in the November election last year.

Forbes takes a look at the rapidly expanding long distance learning market in India (Forbes):

The $260 million (market cap) Everonn uses a satellite network, with two-way video and audio. It reaches 1,800 colleges and 7,800 schools across 24 of India's 28 states. It offers everything from digitized school lessons to entrance exam prep for aspiring engineers and has training for job-seekers, too. "Never in my wildest imagination did I ever think I would be doing what I am doing today," says 49-year-old Kishore, who along with his family owns nearly 19% of the company. "When I started out I would have been happy if I'd reached 50 schools in south India."

Liberty hires ex-Ole Miss coach Freeze

The former Ole Miss coach resigned in July 2017 after the university uncovered
a "pattern of misconduct." He had 39 wins in five seasons.

Freeze replaces Turner Gill, who announced his retirement on Monday with 47
wins in seven seasons. The Flames went 6-6 last season in their transition to
the FBS level.

Former Baylor athletic director Ian McCaw, who resigned amidst a sexual
assault scandal involving the Bears' football program, is now in charge at
Liberty.

Freeze was contrite about his wrongdoing in a speech at Liberty earlier this
year.

"I had to say to people that I loved, 'I am sorry. Please forgive me,' "
Freeze said in a January convocation speech. "And today is really the first
day I can tell the faith family, 'I am sorry. Please forgive me.' "

Freeze alsoran afoul of NCAA rules. According to the governing body, the
Rebels were guilty of providing impermissible benefits including meals and
lodging, and Freeze failed to monitor his coaching staff.

Ole Miss instituted a one-year bowl ban for the 2017 season in February based
on the NCAA notice of allegations that accused the school of lack of
institutional control. The NCAA added a bowl ban for 2018.

Neighbors were not sure how long Pedro Alberto Monterroso-Navas, his five children and girlfriend had been in the country, only that they had been in Metairie for a few weeks and lived a quiet, hardscrabble life while there.

Their apartment had spartan furnishings — one mattress, a night stand and a TV — and the power apparently went out at times.

Among the five children, the oldest, a 12-year-old girl, seemed


to act as a mother for her siblings, doing things such as cooking for them.

Heidi Monroy, the 24-year-old girlfriend believed to have been the mother of at least three of the children, spent most of her time talking on her cellphone, while Monterroso claimed to spend most of his time working, neighbors said. What, exactly, he did was unknown.

What led to a violent outburst that ended with Monroy dead in the bathtub early Sunday morning also remained a mystery on Monday to those who live in the 4000 block of Durand Street.

After the death, Monterroso fled Louisiana with three of the children, while two he apparently had with Monroy were left behind. Police issued an Amber Alert and began a manhunt for the suspect in the death ofMonroy.

Monterroso and his children were found late Sunday or early Monday morning in a trailer park near Katy, Texas, a Houston suburb.

Monterroso, 43, was taken to the Harris County jail to be held on a count of second-degree murder.

The children — his 12-year-old daughter, a 4-year-old son and a 2-year-old son — were in the custody of Texas authorities, the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office said.

It was not immediately clear where the two children, ages 8 and 5, who had been left in Metairie were on Monday.

Neighbors said they thought a relative or family friend might have taken custody of them after Monroy was found dead. The Sheriff’s Office referred questions about the children to the state Department of Children and Family Services, which did not respond to a

Purtenance - MCMXCI - MCMXCII (The Crypt Productions)

PURTENANCE... My first thought about this band is "oh, it's that Finnish band where the guitarist had the worst haircut in the history of death metal" he he. Funny, but just check the picture on the layout for "Member of Immortal Damnation" LP! Ain't that mate, Tony, looking hilariously? But serious stuff now. Purtenance was also one of the best Finnish death metal acts in the early 90's, no doubt about that. Despite their short lived history, they managed to unleash really cool EP and LP. They never really got much attention, as the band split up already in 1992 and as far as I know none of its members played in other bands afterwards, so for many


golden prints on it (with liner notes by Harri Salo, drummer of Purtenance) and each LP has its own cover and booklet. LP 1 has the "Purtenance Avulsion - Demo 1991" on Side A and "Crown Waits the Immortal - EP 1991" on Side B. The LP comes with a 2 sided insert with classic photos and lyrics as well as original artwork for both covers on the 350 gram heavyweight jacket. LP 2 is the "Member of Immortal Damnation" album. 350 gram heavyweight jacket is complete with the original classic, newly supplied, unaltered artwork by Chris Moyen. The LP includes a double-sided lyric insert with the original layout from the 1992 LP, full color art-print style, 12" x 18" poster. And all that in just 300 copies,Paragould, Ark., and Mount Vernon, Ky. Anchor bought the latter operation, a shuttered facility that was known as Alcoa Inc.'s Mount Vernon Packaging business, in spring of 2012.

Anchor's North American thermoforming sales were about $234 million in 2012 out of a corporate total of $338 million, according to a recent market study by Plastics News.

Anchor's main film plants are in Paragould and Marmaduke, Ark., and in San Juan, Argentina. Its North American film and sheet sales were about $105 million in 2011.

Stapleton said Anchor plans to expand the injection molding capacity acquired in Mount Vernon last year but she provided no timetable for the plan. Mount Vernon has focused on thermoforming.
