woman who sold him the RV. He has already restored one side of the RV, but the rest of the walls, which balloon slightly inward and have begun to warp the interior cabin, will need to be completely redone in the next few years.

But Johnson kept renovating; he installed solar panels to generate electricity, and a small, cylindrical wood stove that he swore saved his life during the winter. It's a Kimberly brand stove, one he loves so much that he has begun selling them part-time. He also mounted a small flat-screen TV on the wall and added the blue "bull bar" to the front bumper, for added protection in case of a car accident.

During winter months, a bathroom the size of a small closet houses a compact,portable toilet, and Johnson showers at the university or friends' houses. A blue 5-gallon jug provides water in the winter. Come summer, he'll replace the portable toilet with the RV's regular toilet, and a 30-gallon reservoir will provide water for the toilet, shower and kitchen. The reservoir is inoperable during the winter because, just like living in a house, freezing pipes would cause a huge mess both inside the cabin and financially.

To purchase and refurbish the RV, Johnson pulled from his savings and took out a loan. "This is my rent," he said of the loan – rent that will disappear once it is paid off in two years. The rig gets about 15 miles per gallon of gas, and propane costs are his only other utility costs.

Johnson


plans on living in the RV at least until the loan is paid off, but as time wears on, the prospect of building a housing and paying property taxes is "becoming less and less appealing," he said.

Every night, Johnson and Kage Free choose where they'll settle for the evening. Sometimes it's a friend's house, other times it's a park or near the coastal trail. So far, nobody has bothered them about setting up camp, but smoke from the wood stove garners the attention of curious passersby. "We get a lot of questions about that, like 'What do you got in there?'" he laughed.

As one can imagine, living in a revamped RV has its share of difficulties. Johnson said his biggest concern this winter was running out of firewoodAion: Assault on Balaurea To Include Numerous Improvements and Free To Exisiting Players

for treatment at larger inpatient mental health facilities, which has contributed to the shortage of treatment options.

Another law, named for Jessie Grubb, directs HHS to establish best practices for hospitals to make doctors aware of a patient's addiction history, just as they would of an allergy to a medicine. Grubb was a 30-year-old woman from West Virginia who died of an opioid overdose two years ago after a doctor who did not know about her history of addiction prescribed her oxycodone following a surgery to treat a running injury.

"Republicans also continue with their attempts to gut the Medicaid program – which is our most important weapon in the fight against this opioid epidemic. Both the consumer protections of the ACA and Medicaid have saved countless lives that would have otherwise been destroyed by the opioids crisis."

The objections, however, did not derail them: Just one Democrat, Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, D-Texas, voted against the package.

The crisis has been so widespread that members have had no shortage of constituent stories to share on the House floor and in press conferences.

Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-California, talked about the toll opioids have taken on one of his own staffers. On the House floor Friday, he related the story of Eamon


Eric Callanan, the brother of his spokeswoman, Erin Perrine.

In 2012, Callanan developed an addiction to opioid painkillers after he hurt his back at work. He eventually switched to heroin when the pills became too expensive. He died after overdosing on June 8, 2016.

In the SQ-A76 system however, it found something more.

It was a binary star system, one brighter, blue-white Main sequence star, while the second star was a red dwarf. Both stars had ‘clouds’, signals of debris around them in unnatural, total coverage, obscuring their light enough that long range observatories noticed when they trained their sights on the system.

Around the larger star was a system of planets.

Within it was a planet, potentially habitable even by the long distance images not being fully clear, surrounded by a ring that was far too narrow and solid to be natural.

“Over 40 crews of harvester operators reached the milestone of 1 thousand tons of grain” – a proud headline informs the readers of a regional news website in the Grodno region in the west of Belarus. But beyond the impressive achievements of Grodno harvester operators the website provides more sinister reports claiming that Western embassies impose same-sex marriages to divide Belarusian society.

In the same vein, a regional online outlet in the Mahilioŭ region cheerfully informs its 170,000 monthly visitors about the summer festival for families, but browsing further one stumbles upon an alarming piece of “news” according to which the OSCE wants to fill the Belarusian internet with


speech have appeared. The absolute majority of those websites publish in Russian.

One of the defining features of pro-Kremlin disinformation in Belarus is that it heavily relies on a co-coordinated network of regional websites seemingly created to report local news. This is a good illustration of the well-known “Trojan horse” tactic used by the pro-Kremlin disinformation. Ahead of the 2016 US presidential elections, the Russian influence campaign created a number of Twitter accounts which posted as America’s home town outlets, to exploit people’s trust in local news.

Today, pro-Kremlin disinformation websites in Belarus use content from regional government and independent websites as well as national portals, to disguise as run-of-the-mill regional news outlets. They hide under neutral design and images referencing historical emblems of the regional centres or memorial buildings.But while their design might be neutral, their language is not. The websites frequently use hate speech against independent journalists and anyone who does not consider the Belarusian nation as “one” with the Russian people. Chauvinistic, pseudo-scientific content, historical revisionism and conspiracy theories are often posted under pseudonyms and shared with other pro-Kremlin disinformation outlets.

Insidiously, the pro-Kremlin disinformation network is trying to convince the Belarusian people that their language is artificial, their history is fake and their country only has a future as a part of the union state with Russia

Russian connection

Even though the websites pretend to be regional outlets in Belarus, the Russian trail is not hard to find. Researchers from the EAST Centre discovered that the domains of four regional disinformation websites were purchased in February


2019 by the same person based in Moscow region.

The owner of the domains shares the same first and last names with an employee of CIS-EMO, an organisation that claims to monitor elections across the Commonwealth of Independent States. As such, it served as an umbrella organisation for the so-called international observers of the 2014 “referendum” in Crimea, which is recognized neither by the EU nor the UN. The organization also claims to have observed “elections” in the Georgian regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, where Russian military continues its illegal presence, as well as in Moldova’s breakaway region of Transdniester, whose Russian-backed authorities are under EU sanctions.

'Very serious impact on many employers'

On Friday, Kenney said the moratorium would have a "very serious impact on many employers.

"And quite frankly some…have done their level best to follow the rules and have not been able to find Canadians," he said. "That's regrettable but I think it's necessary. I think it's necessary to send a message that we mean what we say about the obligation actively to search for Canadians first."

The announcement follows a series of stories produced by the CBC's Go Public about how some McDonald's franchisees were allegedly abusing the Temporary Foreign Workers program.

Dan Kelly, president and CEO of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, said he was "deeply disappointed" with the government's decision, saying it was a "trial and conviction by mediaexample of an Indian restaurant owner in Toronto who needs cooks, but is unable to find any qualified Canadians.

"He's willing to train. He pays 40 grand a year so these are not minimum wage positions. And he cannot find a single qualified person to prepare the food he specializes in."

The owner already has four temporary workers whose permits are set to expire next year, Kelly said, and he fears if he is unable to replace them with other foreign workers, he will likely close.

Reynolds said she is concerned that the moratorium will force Canada to go back to the days of the mid-2000s, when consumers in Alberta, for example, were faced with signs saying restaurants closed due to lack of staff.

Markets take ousting of Yellen in their stride

Posted November 20, 2017

David Worsfold

A year ago, as the world was coming to terms with the reality of Donald Trump as the next incumbent of the White House, one topic that unnerved the financial markets was the prospect that he wouldn’t re-appoint Janet Yellen for a second term as chair of the US Federal Reserve.

Yet, that is precisely what he has done with his nominee Jerome (Jay) Powell expected to breeze through his Senate ratification on 28 November, ready to take up his new post on 3 February next year.

In response, the markets have hardly batted an eyelid. How could they go from their fear of change at the Fed in November 2016 to calm acceptance today?

Part of the explanation isthat there was a fear of the unknown if Yellen went. The markets have generally been comfortable with her approach to monetary policy and, perhaps to a lesser extent, regulation. The fear was there that a radical President Trump promising major policy overhauls in every sphere of government would opt for a disruptive change. A clutch of Stanford academics featured heavily in the speculation, all seen as hawks on monetary policy and favouring a much lighter touch on regulation.

They have been passed over in favour of a known quantity who is unlikely to change the Fed’s course significantly.

The 64-year-old Powell has been a Fed governor since 2012. He has backed Yellen on monetary policy and has a reputation as a thorough, pragmatic operator with a keen eye for


Coastal Conservation League seeks compromise on International Drive

HORRY COUNTY, SC (WMBF) - While International Drive is moving forward in the permitting process, the project still isn't ready to actually start.The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control has approved the permit for International Drive, denying the Coastal Conservation League's request for review.

Even though it ultimately ended in denial, Coastal Conservation League's North Coast Office Director Nancy Cave said she's actually feeling encouraged because DHEC went into executive session to talk about the request to review. It brought up animal passageways, which the group has been pushing for to give bears in Lewis Ocean Bay Heritage Preserve a way to migrate without the risk of getting hit by cars on International Drive.

There are still steps the Coastal Conservationthe administrative law court.

Wooten said although DHEC approved the permit and the U.S. Army Corps of engineers was getting ready to issue its approval, the state certification for the project would be on hold until the appeals process is complete. He said the state certification is needed to get a federal certification.

The Workshop

Warming up

Since there is a big variety in Technical Reasoning, I decided to choose a hands-on exercise to start the workshop. I handed out an animal 3D-puzzle with no instructions, and to my surprise and joy, they all acted like described in the books:

Elena (S:23, P:29, T:15, C:24) hates to use her hands. She gave her colleagues an unlucky look, saying she hated puzzles even as a child. She moved back in her chair and folded her arms.

On the other hand, Bailey (S:27, P:27, T:28, C:26) beamed and moved all the puzzle parts in front of her. After the exercise she told us that she would have preferred to take the puzzle outside and do it on her own. She was the builder inthis exercise, and the others often had to tell her that in their opinion this exercise should be done as a team.

Ava (S:16, P:31, T:18, C:29) was very frustrated that there were no descriptions nor instructions. She saw all those tiny little pieces, took one, and broke it. After that she only contributed in giving funny comments without touching anything. When the team ran out of time she motivated them and created a new species of dinosaur which contributed to keep frustration in the team quite low.

Carla (S:20, P:29, T:25, C:28) felt very comfortable in building and cooperating with Bailey under Bailey’s guidance.

In this case the team was split into two people building and enjoying while two people felt frustrated, out of place, and unnecessary.

We discussed their thoughts,


sometimes gets angry because she does ignore her directions. Ava was the one who had a lot of ideas, but she also wanted her team to contribute with new and innovative ideas. She found out that she had to give her team more time and space to create innovative ideas, since she tends to be very quick and dominant when she is Confluence driven. She also understands that her avoiding Sequence leads her to give unclear directions.

The Covenant

Ava, especially, was very pleased to see that the whole lively conversation ran in a very constructive and respectfully way. Out of their high Precision, the team decided to write the main points of their considerations and thoughts down. Out of this document they prepared a Team Covenant on a flip-chart:

BeforeHome Minister allocates work to Ministers of State Kishan Reddy and Nityanand Rai.

Almost a fortnight after Home Minister Amit Shah took charge, he allocated work to the two junior Ministers in North Block. While the management of other departments has been distributed among the two Ministers of State, Mr. Shah will hold charge of the Intelligence Bureau (IB) himself. Former Home Minister Rajnath Singh also had IB report directly to him.

The distribution of work comes at a time when Mr. Shah is expected to undertake his first official visit as a Home Minister to Jammu and Kashmir to oversee the preparations and security arrangements for the Amarnath Yatra that commences on July 1.

The two Ministers of State, Nityanand Rai and G. Kishan Reddy, did not have defined roles


till now. The order was issued late Tuesday night.

Mr. Shah is known to put in long hours in the office. The three Ministers took charge on June 1.

As per the new set of responsibilities, Mr. Rai will look after the Left-wing Extremism division, Centre-State relations, border management, Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) and the Foreigners Division.

The Jammu and Kashmir desk and Northeast have been allocated to Mr. Reddy. This is the first time that J&K and Northeast divisions have been allocated to the same Minister. In the previous Cabinet, the Northeast division was handled by Kiren Rijiju and Kashmir desk was with the other Minister of State, Hansraj Gangaram Ahir.

In all, there are 22 divisions in the Home Ministry.

Both Mr. Rai and Mr. Reddy were State presidents ofthe Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) in Bihar and Telangana respectively.

During the Lok Sabha election, they reported to Mr. Shah, who is the BJP president. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked all Cabinet Ministers to delegate more work to Ministers of State and involve them in decision-making.

removed in a manner which enables a guidewire to remain in place in the body so that the end of the guidewire remains on the site to be treated. In order to maintain a guidewire in place while withdrawing the catheter, the guidewire must be gripped at its proximal end to prevent it from being pulled away from the site to be treated, for example, a blood vessel. However, the guidewire typically only extends for a short portion outside of the catheter which is inserted in the body. Therefore, before the catheter is fully withdrawn from the body, the catheter completely covers the proximally extending end of the guidewire. As a result, there is no way in which to grip the proximal end of the guidewire to holdpuncturing blood vessels in the body, and a reduction in the time to perform the procedure. However, current apparatus and methods for steering the main guidewire into the body and then connecting the main guidewire to an extension guidewire to perform a catheter exchange have certain drawbacks.
Current extension guidewire methods require the use of a separate apparatus for steering the main guidewire into the body and a separate apparatus for aligning and connecting the main guidewire with an extension guidewire. Typically, a torque vise or pin vise is provided for gripping the main guidewire and steering the main guidewire into the human body. The main guidewire is often provided with an angled tip so that the operator can rotate the main guidewire and steer the main guidewire through


the body. The torque vise can be slid back along the main guidewire to permit advancement of the main guidewire relative to the torque vise in order to insert the main guidewire further into the human body. Once the main guidewire and catheter are in place, it is often necessary to perform a catheter exchange.
Typically, an alignment tool functions to connect the proximal end of the in-situ guidewire to an extension guidewire. The torque vise is first removed from the in-situ guidewire. The alignment tool is then placed on the in-situ guidewire and used to align and connect the in-situ guidewire with an extension guidewire. After the in-situ guidewire and extension guidewire are connected, the alignment tool is removed. The alignment tool is removed by sliding the alignment& Atlantic suggested the failure of the air brakes might have been a factor.

On Iran, Trump brought up the protesters and demanded the Iranian regime give up pursuing nuclear weapons, stop supporting terrorism and treat its people better. He took credit for sanctioning their economy and celebrated his killing of Iranian Maj. Gen. Qasem Soleimani.

Oxbow Academy, in Utah, is a rehabilitation facility dedicated to teenage boys who have exhibited 'sexual behavioural issues'.

These 'issues' can include a wide variety of problems - some of the boys there have been accused of voyeurism or even assaulting other children.

But perhaps the fastest-growing category of offender is the online porn fanatic - leading some to dub the academy 'Porn School', according to the Sunday Mirror .

Fox Launches Alien Short Film Contest Ahead Of 40th Anniversary

To celebrate Alien's 40th anniversary in 2019, 20th Century Fox has launched a short film competition for fans. Alien became an instant classic upon release in 1979 thanks to Ridley Scott's taut direction, H.R Giger's art design, and the amazing cast, including Sigourney Weaver as Ripley. James Cameron's Aliens followed in 1986, tilting the genre from horror to action, and one that expanded the mythology while delivering great set pieces, characters, and dialogue.

The sequels since then have nearly all been met with mixed responses; the relentlessly bleak Alien 3 is divisive to this day, Resurrection is considered a silly mess, the Alien Vs Predator movies are often ignored by fans, and Ridley Scott's prequels – Prometheus and Alien:


Covenant – widened the universe but suffered from messy stories. While the franchise still produces plenty of spinoffs in the form of video games, comics, and books, it appears the movie series is currently on hold following Covenant's underwhelming box-office.

The original Alien celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2019, and to commemorate the day, 20th Century Fox has announced a new competition that will allow six fans to make a five to nine-minute long short film set in the universe, and there's up to $246,000 in prizes on offer. The competition is in association with Tongal and is open to fans from the U.S. only. Anyone tempted by the competition better put their thinking caps on too; the deadline for the initial pitch is July 3.

The Tongal site listsand more on Michael Fassbender's crazed A.I. David. Covenant even seemed to imply David himself created the Xenomorph, and while the movie ended on a massive cliffhanger, it seems Fox is reluctant to commit to another Alien installment of his story, despite Ridley Scott's intriguing pitch for the next chapter.

Alien fans also mourned the cancellation of Neill Blomkamp's proposed Alien 5, which would have ignored the events of 3 and Resurrection, and brought back Ripley, Hicks, and Newt. Fox seemed keen on the concept for awhile before putting it on ice and Blomkamp has since admitted to having moved on from the project.


(Note: This report was edited to reflect that, unlike previously reported, the Deltas folding is not yet final.)

A founding executive of the San Francisco Deltas announced his departure from the financially troubled organization just days after the club won the North American Soccer League championship.

The Deltas’ future has been uncertain. Most games drew about 2,500 people and the team told its fans during the season that it could not survive without higher attendance.

In an email Tuesday, titled “Goodbye Deltas,” Ricardo Stanford-Geromel wrote:

“It’s hard to believe how far we’ve come in less than 3 years. In 2015, I had the idea to put a professional soccer team in San Francisco. I pitched the idea to over 100 potential investors, and I was honored that one of them agreed toback to finish second in the NASL standings before topping North Carolina FC in the semifinal round and defeating the Cosmos in the title match. Notably, their season also included training sessions at San Quentin State Prison and splitting two games with the San Jose Earthquakes.

Still, the club seemingly struggled financially. Citing low attendance and a preference for transparency, club CEO Brian Andrés Helmick penned a piece on Medium pleading Delta fans “just came back with one friend!”

The Deltas surged late in the campaign, outscoring opponents 19-8 on a late-season stretch in which it went 6-0-4 to help negate its 1-3-1 start to the year. Despite then losing its regular season finale, SF shut out North Carolina and New York in the playoffs — the latter victory inspiring


Naheed Nenshi Faces Questions About New NDP Government During New York Visit

CALGARY - The mayor of Calgary says he has come back from a trade mission to New York optimistic about investments in his city and the province.

Speaking while touring the Environmental Expo at City Hall, Naheed Nenshi said there were a lot of questions about Alberta's new NDP government.

But he said the people he spoke to didn't seem particularly worried about Calgary or Alberta's economy.

Nenshi said companies remain bullish — not just about the oilsands — but also about natural gas and conventional oil.

But he did add the government needs to move quickly on a royalty review.

That's a promise Premier Rachel Notley made during the recent election campaign.

In December 2006 Stoddart purchased the CTE-HVM ChampCar team which he renamed Minardi Team USA - Giancarlo Minardi retains the rights to use the name in some formulae and markets, Stoddart in others. The team was successful, Robert Doornbos finishing 3rd overall and taking the Rookie of the Year honours. However, a month before the 2008 season, ChampCar was absorbed by the rival Indy Racing League. Although enthusiastic about the future of the series, Stoddart opted not to enter it, fearing that he and the other ex-ChampCar teams would be unable to be competitive. However, the half of the team owned by Keith Wiggins continued on as HVM Racing in the IRL.

The owner of a Holon pizzeria was indicted Tuesday for serving police a pizza sprinkled with synthetic marijuana.

Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court heard that an officer from the Tel Aviv District Police working the desk on the night shift ordered a pizza from 30-year-old Simcha Abazov’s “La Dolce Vita” pizzeria in May 2015. When the pie arrived he shared it with two other officers at the station.

Minutes later the three officers began to feel ill, and two of them were hospitalized for dizziness, vomiting and hallucinations.

No One Gets Out Alive

No One Gets Out Alive is a 2014 horror novel by British author Adam Nevill. It was published in the United Kingdom in 2014 by Pan MacMillan and United States in 2015 by St. Martin's Press and focuses on a young woman who moves into a cheap apartment, only to find that she has put herself in danger by doing so.

poor studies of Filipino psychology.

In my country, people love cheering the underdog. By threatening a massive show of force during the May elections, the hierarchy is flexing its political muscles, and citizens are likely to recoil. Everyone knows that the institutional church has a tremendous advantage in its well-developed infrastructure, which can funnel information from the bishops’ conference at the top through the dioceses and into the ears of those parishioners who are forced to listen to politically-slanted pastoral letters read in the place of homilies. The bishops are also no strangers to the media. But what is missing from their didactic statements is the sort of messaging at which the pro-RH movement excels.

The legislators and advocates who made the RH Bill a reality were well served bySUBSCRIBE

When the bishops showed up at the House of Representatives to “monitor” the RH vote in December, they, too, were silent. But the few feet separating the clergy from the legislators on that day spoke volumes about the difficult-to-discern line between church and state in the Philippines. The bishops expected their presence to be enough; they had made their opinions clear. But legislators voted their consciences and Filipinos won.

Legislators in favor of the bill have support in high places. The current president, Benigno S. Aquino III, has said he is open to dialogue with the hierarchy, but he is an unapologetic backer of the RH Bill and its supporters. Case in point: a tour guide, Carlos Celdran, publicly protested the bishops’ anti-RH campaigning and remains in jail for


of many basic necessities, and the worst crime wave in the region. More worryingly, the government of President Nicolás Maduro seems unwilling to change course, undermining democracy in the process by throwing obstacles in the way of anyone in the opposition who suggests an alternative path. Yet Venezuela’s South American neighbors (Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia in particular) have either validated Maduro’s moves or looked the other way.

The costs of this appeasement are large, and bound to keep growing.

The current crisis at the Venezuela-Colombia border is another sign that the Venezuelan collapse is beginning to spill over beyond the country’s borders. A few weeks ago, a shooting incident at the border area, in which several Venezuelan military personnel were wounded, made Maduro blow a gasket. He immediately sealed offa large segment of the border with barbed wire.

Not content with that, the Venezuelan army began deporting Colombians they claimed were in the country illegally, and demolishing their homes. Soldiers marked homes to be demolished with a “D” and posted videos of the demolitions on YouTube. Joining the rising chorus of concerns over the forced deportations, the United Nations issued a statement saying some of those included in the sweep were refugees from Colombia’s civil war that had sought a safe haven inside Venezuela.

The Colombian government has expressed its outrage over the flagrant mistreatment of its nationals. It has angrily denounced the Maduro government in several regional and international forums, and its Solicitor General has announced he will try to take Maduro to the International Criminal Court. Yet


all of this follows years in which the Colombian government has appeased, and even facilitated, Maduro’s, and his predecessor Chavez’s, shenanigans—often in the name of maintaining cordial neighborly relations and keeping Santos’ peace negotiations with Colombian guerrilla forces on track.

Finally, Colombia is learning that ignoring the Venezuela debacle next door carries heavy costs. When will other governments in the region reach the same conclusion?

Venezuela has become an important transit point for illegal drugs. According to the testimony of high-ranking defectors such as bodyguards, judges, and former ministers, the Venezuelan state has become indistinguishable from a major drug cartel. It is as if Pablo Escobar has a seat in the UN Security Council. As a consequence, the chavista revolution eats up a large number of hours of attention fromthe continent’s diplomats, financial institutions, firms and governments forced to deal with issues of drug and weapons trafficking, as well as money laundering.

Should this continue, governments around the region are likely to find their budgets and policy attention increasingly eaten up by the lawlessness within Venezuela, and the attendant outflow of those fleeing the South American economic and political basket case.

According to estimates, more than a million Venezuelans have left the country in search of better opportunities elsewhere. In Panama, a country of only 3 million people, the Venezuelan exile community is estimated to include 200,000 people. Colombia, Chile and Costa Rica are also housing significant, and growing, members of the Venezuelan diaspora.

Until now, Venezuelan emigrants have been mostly a blessing—young professionals and entrepreneurs bringing their skills with

ANAHEIM, Calif. – One of the better games in a dismal Anaheim Ducks season marked the end of the Randy Carlyle era.

Carlyle was fired after Wednesday's 4-1 victory against the Montreal Canadiens at the Honda Center and replaced by former Washington Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau.

Anaheim also jettisoned assistant coaches Mike Foligno and Dave Farrish in a clean-house move after a 2-12-4 run over the previous 18 games marked the worst stretch in Carlyle's seven-year tenure.

The organization made the announcement about an hour after the game ended and neither Carlyle nor Ducks players were available to comment. ESPN.com's Pierre LeBrun tweeted that general manager Bob Murray informed Carlyle 40 minutes after the game, and Murray then met with the team leaders.

Anaheim, ironically, finally played a 60-minute game.

Much-maligned captain RyanCanadiens were held without a shot on goal – a dump in by P.K. Subban -- through the first 15 minutes of the third and three total in the final 20 minutes.

"It seemed like the whole third period was special teams, either on the power play or killing penalties," Brian Gionta said. "It's tough to get some momentum back, but that's why you need your power play to create something and unfortunately in the third period we didn't create any shots or sustained pressure."

Anaheim rebounded with captain Getzlaf, who has come under scrutiny for his lack of leadership-by-example, and Perry, who had been singled out for a slow start to the season although he has goals in four straight games.

The Ducks have had numerous meetings about their spiral,


essentially rock bottom for the Ducks.

"Those games hurt when you're up by a couple and behind at the end of the game," Perry said. "We talked between periods … put pressure on their 'D,' stay on the forecheck. We're skating and moving our feet, we're going to draw penalties. It showed out there … it's definitely huge when we're doing that."

Smith-Pelly gave Anaheim that rare lead going into the third period with a power play goal from a double-minor high sticking penalty by Tomas Plekanec on Getzlaf.

Smith-Pelly grabbed a puck from mid-air in front of the crease, whacked it past Peter Budaj and let loose a big fist pump for good reason. He scored his first NHL goal on Nov.9, but he was credited for it after thegame because video reviews determined the puck hit his knee.

The Ducks actually turned in another poor start, but Getzlaf salvaged it with 19 seconds to go to forge a 1-1 tie.

Linemate Matt Beleskey created pressure down low and Getzlaf forced the puck away from Hal Gill. Perry collected the loose puck and zipped a cross-ice pass to Getzlaf for a snap shot.

Getzlaf said he wasn't aware of his drought until Perry told him before the game.

"It is nice to get the monkey off his back and get him going again," Perry said. "We needed him to score big goals and he did that tonight."

Montreal's 25th-ranked power play got nearly seven minutes of opportunity in the first period because of interference, holding and a closing the hand on the

I like Ricky, but I'd rather we go in a different direction after this year. Seriously, the guy's getting old. Why do you all love him so much?

He carried the ball 775 times in two years for the Dolphins. He


was the only offensive magic Miami had seen since Dan Marino...a Pro Bowler, a league leader in rushing yards. He caught another 97 balls over those two years...for a total of 872 touches. Most guys don't touch the ball that many times in their entire career, let alone in two years. He did all that, and he didn't even love the game, his life, and was dealing with a lot more than any of us know.

How can you not love him? He's done a lot for the Dolphins.

He has a great work ethic and has been a model citizen since coming back. Man he sure filled the void last year when Ronnie went down. I just pull for the guy because he is trying to do the right thing. Having Patrick Cobbs come back healthy will add even more depth this year.

She had suffered a deep laceration on the back of her head, and the cause of death was found to have been asphyxia. There were indications of sexual assault, and seminal fluid containing DNA was found on the body.
On June 22, 1999, police obtained an NTO requiring defendant to provide a sample of his saliva to compare with the DNA found at the crime scene. The affidavit supporting the request for the NTO indicates that defendant has a history of sexual assault and violence, and that he lived nearand was familiar withthe Moss Glen Falls area at the time of the homicide. It contains the following specific information:
1. Defendant was committed to the Vermont


State Hospital in 1972 for four years after assaulting and attempting to rape a female who was traveling alone. Defendant used a knife during this attack. He also attacked two other people while hospitalized.
2. Defendant was convicted of simple assault in 1977, after originally being charged with lewd and lascivious conduct. Further, he was convicted of lewd and lascivious conduct in 1981.[1] Both of these crimes are described in the affidavit as involving "assaults on female strangers."
3. On October 13, 1997, defendant was arraigned on charges of attempted kidnapping and attempted sexual assault, arising out of an incident in which he was in his car when he saw a woman walking alone. He ran up behind her with a belt in his hands, held over his head asif to strangle her. He struggled with the victim, but she eventually escaped.
4. Defendant lived for many years in the area where the Scoville homicide took place, and lived in that area at the time of the homicide. He lived with a girlfriend from the early 1980's until May 1991 in various towns around the area. In 1990 and early 1991, they lived together in Wolcott. During that time defendant was not employed but would leave the house for long periods during the day and drive around in his car.
5. On May 19, 1991, defendant's girlfriend obtained an abuse prevention order *1242 against him, removing him from their home. She claimed that they had a violent relationship: he struck her, threatened to cut off her head with a


chain saw, and attempted to rape her. After he was removed from their home, defendant lived with acquaintances in Hyde Park. He had his own car and continued to spend his days driving around. On occasion he would visit relatives in Barre, traveling through Stowe on Route 100, past the area where the Scoville homicide occurred. Also during that time, defendant gave one of the acquaintances with whom he was living, a wrecker operator, detailed directions to a remote area off the Moss Glen Falls Road in Stowe, an area close to the where the Scoville body was recovered. Then, in the Fall of 1991, he was asked to move out of his acquaintances' residence because of an unprovoked attack on a mutual friend.
On the basis of thesefacts, the Lamoille District Court issued an NTO requiring defendant to give a sample of his saliva to compare his DNA to that found on the Scoville body. Defendant moved to quash the NTO, arguing that the affidavit failed to show reasonable suspicion that he murdered Patricia Scoville, and, in any event, that the applicable provisions of the federal and Vermont constitutions require that the prosecution show probable cause that he was responsible. The district court rejected the constitutional argument and held that the prosecution had shown reasonable suspicion that defendant killed Patricia Scoville based on his opportunity to commit the crime, his familiarity with the area, and his long history of sexual assault on women.
When defendant failed to appear as ordered pursuant to the NTO, the court


has never made a statement that could be interpreted as demonstrating responsibility.
On the other hand, there is strong evidence of opportunity because defendant was familiar with the remote area in which the crime occurred, and at the time of the homicide, he was spending days driving around in his automobile with no specific destination. He has a long history of violence against women, the most recent episode of which involved conduct very consistent with how Patricia Scoville's killer must have acted. This shows that he had the means to commit the crime and may have acted on the chance encounter with a woman alone on a bicycle in a remote place. The facts supporting defendant's involvement are specific and articulable. We conclude that they, and the rational inferencesCEO and Chairman Nigel Travis:

The complaint further alleges that, beginning in June, 1969, and on numerous occasions thereafter until May 23, 1972, employees of the defendants notified the plaintiff by letters that his land in Old Saybrook was being condemned by eminent domain and that it was to be taken for construction of a state highway. He was further notified by the defendants to refrain from and discontinue the construction of the building.
The complaint goes on to allege that on May 23, 1972, the deputy commissioner of transportation sent a letter to the plaintiff which stated inpart that the property could not be acquired until a public hearing was held and that property acquisitions for the highway were scheduled to begin in *259 1973 and 1974.[1] The property was eventually taken. Four years elapsed from the time of the initial notice, June, 1969, to the time of "actual taking."
The plaintiff alleges that during that four-year period, as a result of the defendants' notifications and delays in actually taking the property, he was denied and deprived of the common, reasonable and necessary use and enjoyment of his property, that his rights of ownership were interrupted, that he was restrained from continuing the use of his land in that he refrained from and ceased construction of the building and was denied the mortgage after it was

Historian, curator, and classic-car buff Tanya Bailey-Smith opened the Great Savannah Races Museum as an homage to the cultural significance of the Great Savannah Races of 1908, 1910, and 1911. Her facility doubles as a micromuseum and gift shop with media and fine-art items on display and a collection from the Automobile Club of America, whose members chose Savannah to host the first American Grand Prix.

Built in 1842, The Harper Fowlkes House incorporates many of the popular styles of the era, such as an exterior of Savannah gray brick stuccoed and scored to resemble stone blocks. Visitors can still see the craftsmen?s handiwork during educational tours of the three-story Greek Revival mansion, held four days a week. A curving stone staircase leads to the mansion?s frontdoorway, surrounded by a two-story porch whose roof rests on elegant columns. Inside, antique artwork abounds, such as a portrait of Colonel Habersham, who played a key role in the Revolutionary War by originating the backward tri-cornered hat. Other period antiques decorate the house, and an enclosed garden adds an outdoor element. Further antique details permeate the house, from ceilings bordered by original plaster crown moldings to six chandeliers that were originally gas-burning but have been retrofitted to host light bulbs.

In 1820, an upwardly mobile carpenter named Isaiah Davenport designed a 6,800-square-foot Federal-style home to live in with his wife, children, and slaves. After his death, Davenport’s wife turned the stately brick house into a boarding house, though it later devolved into a run-down tenement—until the Historic Savannah


Foundation saved the landmark when it was threatened with demolition in 1955. The organization’s award-winning preservation, their very first effort, jumpstarted an organized preservation movement that spread across the entire port city.
Today, the Davenport House Museum’s rooms are filled with antique furniture from the 1820s, acquired after careful research relying on estate inventories and detailed artist renderings of long-ago games of musical chairs. These period-accurate tables and chairs join ceramics, textiles, and books to form the museum’s collection of about 500 historical items. Behind the home, where a carriage house, garden, and privy once stood, a garden designed by renowned landscape artist Penelope Hobhouse flourishes. After walking among its flowers, visitors can drop by the museum shop to pick up jams and jellies, books about Savannah, and reproductionsParis. Poice Chief John Edward Rittenbergenson is the driving force behind these allegations."I mean, it would be different is she were smart, but this girl is a f%$#^@* retard.

Clone Accomplished!

Image provided by: Google ImagesAmerica has finally found the technology to clone human beings. After years of arduous attempts, Americafinally has come to benefit. It all began when the first sheep, Dolly, was cloned. At first, a local farmer could not tell the difference between the two sheep. "I looked at two of my sheep, and couldn't tell which'un was which." Of course, Billy was confused. Soon afterwards, farmer Billy discovered that a scientist, Evan Evanson, had been working in Bill's farm basement for three years. "Well, it was quite simple really. I took a Xerox machine and placed Dolly in it. That's when I pressed copy. 'Fore I knew it, I had another Dolly. The hard part was gettin' that girl into the machine.

At the time of Gomez and Huempfner's initial employment with Gould, GPF dealt exclusively in mill direct sales. (Matthews Decl. ¶ 14). In November 2002, Gomez and Huempfner recommended that Gould purchase a warehouse for GPF to maintain its own inventory and thereby stock paper ready for immediate delivery to its customers.

It was Batavia senior Allison Della Penna's plan all along to give her crown to Shontee Allis, a senior with Down Syndrome, if she was named Batavia High School's 2015 Prom Queen on Saturday night.

When Della Penna was announced as Senior Prom Queen, she immediately went up on stage and declared Allis to take her place.

"I knew it would make her so happy and it doesn't really mean anything to me," Della Penna said. "I mean it's nice that people wanted to vote for me but it's something that she is going to remember for the rest of her life."

Allis was all smiles when Della Penna, her friend, called her up on stage and put the


crown on her head. She had always dreamed of being named prom queen.

"I was excited," Allis said. "It's good to be queen."

( Allison Della Penna crowning Shontee Allis. Photo taken by Laura Tenebruso.)

Principal Scott Wilson has been to more than 40 proms and has never seen anything like it.

"It was absolutely wonderful," Wilson said. "I have never been a part of such a great group of kids and Allison just represented them so well. It was a very selfless thing to do."

Laura Tenebruso, English teacher and senior class advisor, has known Della Penna since she was in middle school and wasn't surprised when she made the selfless act because that is just the kind of person she is.

"Allison is a loving, giving and compassionate person," Tenebruso said.

After Alliswas named Prom Queen, she and Prom King Jarrett Laskett danced to her favorite "Frozen" theme song, "Let It Go."

Allis told Della Penna she couldn't wait to watch "Frozen" and dance with her crown on. According to Allis's younger sister, Summer Mims-Allis, she wears the crown everywhere she goes.

Della Penna and Allis became friends on the school's senior trip last week. Della Penna really clicked with Allis's funny and friendly personality.

"She is always so happy and that is something that I really liked," Della Penna said. "She always wants to make sure everyone is happy and smiling. Everyone should have just a tiny bit of her happiness."

Nancy Brandon, Allis's mom, was amazed by how great the senior class has been to her daughter.

between January 1, 1980 and December 31, 1992. Id.

In 1983 and 1984, the tax years in question, Shell
Petroleum, Inc. and certain subsidiary corporations owned
working interests in properties in the Midway Sunset Field,
Kern County, California. Part of the Midway Sunset Field
lies over a reservoir known as "the Potter Sand formation"
or "Potter Sands." For over a decade Shell had been
extracting oil from Potter Sands through two steam
injection techniques (steam soak, begun in 1963, and
steam flood, begun in 1971). By 1980, both were well
established and widely accepted enhanced


of core and oil samples to identify tar sand. Shell's
Potter
         Sands and the oil produced therefrom are tar sands and tar sand
         oils under the 1980 DOE practices.

In this passage, Shell asserted that DOE, but not the petroleum industry
as a whole, identified tar sand using Shell's qualitative standard. Shell
did not claim its Potter Sands oil satisfied the qualitative standard: it
stated that its oil was tar sand oil according to"the 1980 DOE
practices," an ambiguous phrase which could have referred either to the
qualitative standard or to the quantitative viscosity standard, allegedly
adopted in 1980. But statements made in the same section of the
pretrial order suggest that Shell was advancing the quantitative standard

  Over 1,600 birds and 170 rabbits, which were cruelly stuffed in small cages and were being transported from Kolkata to Mumbai in the Jnaneshwari Super Deluxe Express on Monday, were rescued, thanks to an animal activist.

Activist informs minister

Subarata Das, 36-year-old Kolkata resident, who was travelling in the train, posted pictures and information about the birds and rabbits on social media. He also informed union minister Maneka Gandhi. Das was going to the Cow Research Centre at Nagpur, when he saw the creatures kept in very small cages at Howrah station.

Speaking to mid-day, Das said, "I asked the loader about the cages and he did not respond. Then I took photos and videos of the cages and uploaded them on my Facebook page. I also informed Maneka Gandhi who


alerted animal welfare activists." Nagpur-based animal activists sent by her, and RPF officials rescued the birds and animals.

"I was in touch with district animal welfare officer Anjali Vediya who reached Nagpur station with her team. Over 1,600 birds and 170 rabbits were stuffed in nine small cages. I have complained about this to the railway minister and asked him to intervene in such cases where people transport birds and animals. They must keep them in secure and comfortable cages," Das added. Many of the birds and rabbits died by the time the animal activists arrived to rescue them. The rest have been kept in a veterinary centre at Nagpur.

[*3] The issues in this case are based on a substantial writedown of properties

held by petitioner’s solely owned S corporation, Paragon Homes Corp. (Paragon),

in 2008.

       Paragon was a residential land development and home building company

that owned several properties in Hillsborough County, Florida. These properties

consisted of multiacre tracts, platted subdivisions, lots and single-family homes.

Petitioner was the president, director, and sole shareholder of the company. In

2004-06, the years at issue, Paragon was a solvent company duly meeting its

payroll, mortgage obligations, rent, insurance premiums, real estate taxes, and

utility bills.

       Paragon executed mortgages with several banks,petitioner felt the need to

complete work on its properties in order to sell them and use the proceeds to

reduce or extinguish the mortgage liabilities. Under these circumstances, Paragon

sold one of its properties, the Huntley property, on August 29, 2008, for a contract

price less than the mortgage encumbering the property. As a result of the sale, the

mortgagee, Platinum Bank, released its mortgage to permit the sale to proceed.

Initially, the parties disagreed as to whether the remainder of the debt was released

with the sale of the property. Now the parties agree that it was not.

      In 2008 many of Paragon’s other properties were encumbered by debt that

exceeded their value as a result of the market downturn. By April 2008 petitioner

stopped making payments on mortgage loan


sold for $239,000. The proceeds from the sale were

used to pay the full amount of the mortgage loan held by Fidelity. On October 12,

2009, petitioner, Paragon, and Platinum Bank entered into a “Mutual General

Release” agreement whereby petitioner paid Platinum Bank $275,000 to settle all

claims attributable to its outstanding mortgage loans, including the remainder of

the debt on the Huntley property. On October 29, 2009, the property at Misty

Glen--Lot 5/Block B was sold and the proceeds were used to pay the full amount

of the mortgage loan held by Fidelity.

      Although petitioner and Paragon were relieved of all mortgage obligations

with Platinum Bank and BB&T at the end of 2009, they were both personally

liable for mortgage loans with Fidelity and Wachovia at that time. In order to

protect  In September 2010 Wells Fargo Bank, as successor to Wachovia, filed a

foreclosure suit in the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County, Florida, case No.

10-CA-018534, against petitioner and Paragon. The suit covered properties at

Walden Reserve--Lot 19/Block 1, Misty Glen (Windhorst), and McMullen Road/

Forest Glen.

      Paragon continued its efforts to reduce exposure to obligations on the

mortgages in 2010. On July 28, 2010, the property at Walden Reserve--Lot 3/

Block 2 was sold for $210,000 and the proceeds were used to pay the full amount

of the mortgage loan held by Fidelity for this property. In October 2010 Paragon

example, in 2009 Paragon initiated the process to build a single-family home on

Walden Reserve--Lot 8/Block 2. Later that year, Paragon entered into settlement

agreements with BB&T and Platinum Bank to settle all claims related to the

[*15] mortgaged properties with these banks. Paragon also sold two properties in

redefining that era — at the beginning of the 20th century and the end of the 19th century — as an era shaped by terrorism1. Lynchings were not acts directed at particular individuals, they were acts directed at the entire African American community. And in that respect it was racial terror. A white person being hanged was not the same as an African American being lynched. The violence against African Americans was a message to the entire black community. I think we’ve got to deal with that a lot more honestly.

There are very few people who have an awareness of how widespread this terrorism and violence was, and the way it now shapes the geography of the United States. We’ve got majority black cities in Detroit, Chicago, largewhat these things really are, that narrative of racial difference that was created during slavery that resulted in terrorism and lynching, that humiliated, belittled and burdened African Americans throughout most of the 20th century. The same narrative of racial difference that got Michael Brown killed, got Eric Garner killed and got Tamir Rice killed. That got these thousands of others — of African Americans — wrongly accused, convicted and condemned. It is the same narrative that has denied opportunities and fair treatment to millions of people of color, and it is the same narrative that supported and led to the executions in Charleston. And the South — to be honest — is a region where we are particularly vulnerable to the way in which this narrative of racial

With all sophisticated observers recognizing that the Justices' political outlooks influence their decision making, many political scientists, some of the public, and a few prominent judges have become Cynical Realists. In their view Justices vote based on their policy preferences, and legal reasoning is mere window-dressing. This book rejects Cynical Realism, but without denying many Realist insights.

Three different £2 coins were issued in 2011. Two commemorative coins, one to mark the 400th anniversary of the King James bible and another to mark 500 years since the construction of the Mary Rose. The standard coin with the ages of man reverse was also issued.

The obverse has the portrait of the Queen by Ian Rank-Broadley. The reverse omits the denomination ‘TWO POUNDS’, so this has been incorporated into the obverse and is shown at the bottom.

The reverse is by Paul Stafford and Benjamin Wright and shows the biblical quote ‘In the beginning was the word’ as type and as printing blocks in negative, to the left. The coin is often called the ‘KJB’ £2. Started in 1604 and finished in 1611, the English translation

NOTE THAT FAKES ARE KNOWN TO EXIST OF THIS COIN – They are poor in style (particularly the bust of the Queen) and are missing their edge inscription. The brass coloured part is slightly magnetic and if you look closely they are in fact made of one single metal instead of being made of two parts. See image of fake coin below.

The story behind the design:

The obverse has the portrait of the Queen by Ian Rank-Broadley. This commemorative £2 coin omits the date on its reverse, so this has been incorporated into the obverse and is shown at the bottom as ‘2011’.

The reversefeatures the words ‘The Mary Rose’ in Tudor style script and shows the ship in the centre. The ship design was inspired by a contemporary painting. The Mary Rose was completed in 1511 and was a favourite of King Henry VIII. It was sunk in 1545 with over 400 crew on board, re-discovered in 1971, raised in 1982 and is currently on display in Portsmouth:

The obverse portrait of the Queen by Ian Rank-Broadley has been used on all UK coinage from 1998 to 2015 and is the fourth portrait of the Queen used on coinage. At the time of writing, this portrait is due to be replaced by a new one, to be unveiled in 2015.

During their time together, Peter is often naïve and clueless – he is a follower, constantly learning.

After Jesus is crucified, though, a different Peter emerges, one who is forceful and bold. This is the Peter we see in the Acts of the Apostles, during a fevered debate over whether or not Gentiles should be baptized. Peter was harshly criticized for even eating a meal with those who were uncircumcised; that is, those who did not follow the commands of the Old Testament.

Peter, though, is strong in confronting those who would deny the sacrament of baptism to the Gentiles, and argues for an acceptance


to parse out stingily!

I worship at St. Stephens, an Episcopal church in Edina, Minnesota. There is a river that flows around the back and side of that church with a delightful name: Minnehaha Creek. That is where we do baptisms.

The Rector stands in the creek in his robes, the cool water coursing by his feet, and takes an infant into his arms and baptizes her with that same cool water. The congregation sits on the grassy bank and watches, a gentle army.

At the bottom of the creek, in exactly that spot, is a floor of smooth pebbles. The water rushing by has rubbed off the rough edges, bit by bit, day by day. The pebbles have been transformed by that water into something new.
