The lightly armored Type 60 SPRR was intended for firing from ambushes without ever entering the enemy’s field of view. In total, 252 Type 60 SPRRs were produced, many of which still serve with the Japan Self-Defense Forces.

HAMILTON, Ont. — A man is dead after he dove head first through three glass windows in two homes, including one where he was confronted by an 86-year-old woman, Hamilton police said.

The 23-year-old man smashed through the elderly woman’s front glass window early Tuesday wielding a knife and she defended herself, said Const. Debbie McGreal-Dinning.

past two years. In fact, illegal aliens who spent just most weekends working in agriculture over two years would qualify, since only 1,035 hours or 180 workdays are required.

The illegal workers would first get a “Certified Agriculture Worker” status and a work permit that allow them to compete for jobs throughout the United States. The CAW status could be converted after several years into the huge reward of citizenship for the workers and their families.

The mass amnesty and the CAW work-permits, however, will ensure that a large share of the former illegals — roughly 500,000 workers plus their families — will quickly migrate from the farms to the nation’s cities and towns. The huge supply of cheap labor will help suppress wages for Americans — including legal immigrantshousing, and into the schools.

The migrants include many illegals who sneaked across the border, as well as many Central Americans who used border-law loopholes to get temporarily released into the United States. Many of these migrants also use the joint cartel-federal “Unaccompanied Alien Child” route to bring their children up from the border.

This illegal and semi-legal population provides many new customers to local retailers, landlords, and education officials, a steady supply of replacement labor to the 2,000-person JBS slaughterhouse, and an easy opportunity for local elites to dismiss civic and economic concerns as mere bigotry.

I believe that the majority of our residents are not racist, but circumstances beyond our control are causing the problems.

Instead of recognizing the class politics, the Washington Post played up the racist claim, and hid the evidence that many of the imported workers are illegals who force down Americans’ wages and nudge up their rents:

An existing bathroom was modified by the university about three weeks ago and while it can be used by any student on campus, it is particularly intended as a safe place for trans students.

The push for the new initiative was led by Swinburne Student Union queer representative, Lee Taube.

Lee, a genderqueer individual who identifies as neither male nor female, has been lobbying for the new facility for the past 18 months.

Mr Janssen while he was aware of the coincidental timing of the South Park episode focusing on the issue, it had not affected the development of the facility.

However, he said the mainstream airing of gender issues showed society was gradually getting better at providing for trans and genderqueer people.

"There's still a way to go, but I think people are becoming more aware of it," he said.

David Blair, Telegraph, January 10, 2015

After days of razing villages and pitiless massacre, Boko Haram finished the week with its most chilling atrocity.

As people bustled through the Saturday market in the Nigerian city of Maiduguri, a device borne by a ten year-old girl exploded near the entrance.

A witness said the girl probably had no idea that a bomb had been strapped to her body.

The explosion just before lunch killed 20, including the girl, and injured 18, according to the police.

Boko Haram did not immediately claim the attack, but the Islamic insurgents have increasingly used young girls as human bombs as they carve an African “Caliphate” from the plains of northern Nigeria.

Today, Boko Haram controls about 20,000 square miles of territory–an area the size of Belgium.

Within this domain, theblack flag of jihad flies over scores of towns and villages scattered across the neighbouring states of Borno and Yobe.

The latest conquest was the fishing town of Baga on the shores of Lake Chad, which fell to the Islamists last Wednesday.

“For five kilometres (three miles), I kept stepping on dead bodies until I reached Malam Karanti village, which was also deserted and burnt,” one surviving fisherman, Yanaye Grema, said.

Boko Haram’s fighters have now achieved mastery over 11 local government areas with a total population exceeding 1.7 million people, according to the official 2006 census.

Once, the movement’s fighters would launch hit-and-run attacks on defenceless villages. Now, Boko Haram’s realm stretches from the Mandara Mountains on the eastern border with Cameroon to Lake Chad in the north and the Yedseram


attacked villages in the neighbouring country, killing 68 of Cameroon’s soldiers in the last month alone.

Sometimes, Shekau’s goal is to grab more territory–as with the assault on Baga last week. Just as often, he dispatches his fighters on what can only be described as slave raids.

Boko Haram profits greatly from the trade in human beings. Last April, Shekau committed his most infamous act by abducting over 200 schoolgirls from the town of Chibok, about 50 miles south-west of Gwoza, triggering a global campaign to “bring back our girls”. By his own admission, the girls were then sold into slavery.

Britain and France stamped out the slave trade in this part of Africa a century ago, but Boko Haram has succeeded in partially reversing this achievement. Today the ancient caravanFollowing analysis of the bodywork on the #7 TS050 HYBRID after the 6 Hours of Nürburgring, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing has identified the specific issue which caused an unexpected change in aerodynamic performance during the race.

The pole-position-winning car had led the early stages but suffered a loss of performance in the middle of the race, which prevented it challenging the leading Porsches. During the race this was identified as an issue with aerodynamic balance migration.

Post-race investigation has revealed significant damage to the underfloor of the #7 car as well as a hole in the rear wing, which caused cracks in the main plane during the race. The team believes this damage was caused by kerb riding for the underfloor and by unidentified flying debris which struck the leading edge


Brazilian regulators have approved Disney’s $71.3 billion acquisition of most of 21st Century Fox after Disney agreed to sell off Fox Sports and related sports rights in the territory.

The approval is one of the last steps in the regulatory review of the industry-altering transaction, which is now expected to formally close in the first half of March.

Officials at Brazilian agency CADE (whose translated full name is The Administrative Council for Economic Defense) had spent the last several months reviewing the deal and their reluctance came as an unexpected late-stage twist. Given the larger stakes, Disney CEO Bob Iger flew to South America two weeks ago to meet with regulators in person, but he left without an agreement.

This was in 1989, so pre-internet. The spouse, who is comically inept at organization most of the time, somehow managed to put together this lovely tour of multiple bed-and-breakfast type places in multiple towns up and down through New England. It was mid-October, and the leaves were falling. We went to 18th-century graveyards in Boston, rented bicycles on Nantucket, visited the official shop of the official witch of Salem. Once it rained all day, and we stayed in the library of the inn we were staying at and read books, and the inn's two standard poodles (I still remember that one of them was namedLili Marlene) kept us very dignified company while wearing matching sweaters.

The one thing that we hadn't planned on was needing to spend one night on the road between New England and central Illinois. I was doing all the driving because we were in my car and the spouse couldn't drive stick yet, and when I hit the point of total driver's exhaustion, we stopped at a place called the Stardust Motor Inn near Schenectady, New York, which was the worst kind of no-name motel imaginable. The woman who checked us in was wearing green face makeup, and we had been out of touch for so long that it was only when we were in the room that we figured out that this was because it was Halloween.

GAY-KILLING DUO GETS GAY-MARRIED IN PRISON

It is perhaps darkly poetic that the “UK’s first same-sex prison wedding“ occurred between two men who are serving time for murdering gay people.

Marc Goodwin is serving life in prison for kicking and punching a gay man to death in 2007.

Mikhail Gallatinov is a convicted pedophile who is serving a life term for the 1997 strangulation murder of Adrian Kaminsky in what was also deemed to be a crime motivated by anti-gay animus.

When the two met in a prison library at HMP Full Sutton in East Yorkshire, it was kismet. They both reportedly wore suits during a recent 15-minute in-prison marriage ceremony attended by four family members. They were allowed a brief kiss and even permitted


The Florida Department of Elections has found no evidence of criminal activity in Broward County's handling of the midterm election Tuesday, despite allegations of fraud by Gov. Rick Scott.

“Our staff has seen no evidence of criminal activity at this time,” Sarah Revell, spokesperson for the state department, told the Miami Herald on Saturday.

Two staffers from Scott's Department of Elections have been stationed in Broward County since at least Nov. 6 to oversee the administration of election processes.

Broward County, a Democratic stronghold, has been the subject of finger-pointing over the past couple days due to ballot-tabulating problems. For instance, in Friday it was revealed that Broward County’s elections supervisor mixed 20 invalid ballots with a pile of 205 valid ballots, prompting criticism from both Democrats and Republicans.

Scott, who isthe GOP candidate in the U.S. Senate race, appeared to be on the cusp of victory against incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., on election night. However, as more votes have trickled in, the margin between the two has tightened.

Scott has claimed there was election fraud in Broward and Palm Beach Counties and at a Thursday press conference announced a lawsuit against Broward County Election Supervisor Brenda Snipes for failing to disclose ballot-counting information.

"We have just filed a lawsuit," Scott said during a press conference Thursday night. "I will not sit idly by while unethical liberals try to steal this election."

Despite calling for an investigation into voter fraud at the press conference, Scott has not formally asked one to begin.

The secretary of state, who is Scott appointee Ken Detzner,

Gangs were a major source of the violence, Chicago Police First Deputy Superintendent Kevin Navarro said at a news conference on Wednesday.

Chicago police deployed 1,300 additional officers to patrol during the Fourth of July weekend, and had arrested 58 people on drug and gun charges ahead of the holiday in hopes of tamping down violence.

The number of shootings, which police said surged during a six-hour period on Monday night, was higher than in 2013, the last time the Fourth of July weekend spanned four days, when 74 people were shot, according to the Tribune.

The weekend brought the total number of people shot in Chicago this year above 1,800, below the 2,035 recorded at this time last year when violence spiked sharply, the Tribune reported.

Bauer said that he met with Lester Bagley, the Vikings' vice president of stadium development and public affairs, and that the team is conducting preliminary analysis of the Linden Avenue site.

"They asked to meet here, so that we could kind of show them around," Bauer said. "They were trying to look at the pros and cons of each of the sites."

Bagley said Saturday that legislators have asked the team to explore the other sites, but he maintained that the Arden Hills site is "ideal."

Gov. Mark Dayton has made it plain that he expects to arrive at a single site and method of funding for the stadium by the time the Legislature convenes Jan. 24. He has


given Minneapolis and Ramsey County until 5 p.m. Thursday to make their best offers -- a move stadium watchers say will highlight Ramsey's lack of financing options.

"A partner without money isn't a partner, it's a friend," said one source close to the talks. "The Vikings are coming to realize that Arden Hills might not work."

But Bagley said the county's plan to raise the restaurant food and beverage tax by 3 percent is viable. He noted that he has not seen a complete financing package from Minneapolis.

In studying Minneapolis sites, Bagley said, the team has found "significant challenges" with the Farmers Market site, particularly elevation differences with Target Field. He said the team's experts have tested the Linden Avenue site and found "no show-stoppers or major challenges."

Problems from thesuch a move would force the team to play elsewhere during the long construction period and, Bagley said, cause it to lose money.

The Star Tribune owns five blocks near the dome that could be involved in a stadium deal. In 2007 the Vikings struck a tentative $45 million deal for that property but withdrew, citing turmoil in credit markets.

Rybak said the city is prepared to work with the team if the Vikings conclude the Metrodome is unacceptable.

The Farmers Market site would connect the stadium to Target Field parking lots and light rail, but it would be wedged into a comparatively tiny parcel of the land and lack the expansion possibilities of Arden Hills.

Chuck Leer, a developer promoting the Farmers Market site, said team owners are "awakening to the


possibilities" of an urban sports corridor, an idea long favored by downtown business leaders that would put the stadium close to thriving hotels, restaurants and an entertainment district.

But the Vikings have appeared more intrigued by the Linden Avenue site, tucked into a little-traveled corner on the western edge of downtown, in a scrubby industrial area dotted with low-slung Xcel Energy storage and maintenance buildings and surrounded on three sides by freeways.

That site poses its own challenges. In a letter that will soon be sent to the basilica's 6,300-member parish, Bauer wrote that he has "serious concerns" about having a football stadium for a neighbor.

Former NFL offensive lineman Eben Britton has revealed to the New York Post that he not only smoked marijuana regularly as a player, but also was high during games on three occasions.

Britton even went as far as to say that smoking the weed improved his game.

"NFL games I played stoned were some of the best games I ever played," Britton said. "Cannabis cements your surroundings. A lot of people say they're useless when they smoke weed. But hell, I played NFL games [while stoned], dude. My performances were solid, and I felt really good after."

Britton said he often


he was high in almost every game he played before quitting the team early in the 2015 season.

He's since obtained a license to grow marijuana in Colorado.

"I practiced under the influence," Jarrells said. "I played games under the influence. This is my medicine. I've seen players at CSU pop five, 10 ibuprofens before practice. Daily. You think that's good? Over the course of two, three years, that's eating your liver away."

The NFL has remained steadfast in its ban on marijuana, though it continues to research the issue.CHARLESTON, S.C (Reuters) - Roger Pinckney is a longtime resident of a South Carolina island that Hurricane Matthew could submerge but, even so, he refused to heed the state’s evacuation orders, saying on Friday he only lacks in whiskey and toilet paper.

Pinckney is one of about 100 residents on Daufuskie Island who have stayed put as the Category 2 hurricane has approached, bringing torrential rainfall and a huge storm surge.

South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley told a news conference on Friday that the state’s barrier islands were the biggest concern to emergency officials ahead of the storm’s approach. In particular she highlighted the danger to the historically rich Daufuskie Island near the border with Georgia.

“It is going to be under water,” Haley said.

She said holdouts on the island had


I’ll be fine.”

Pinckney, who has for years given tours of the island to visitors, wrote on his Facebook page that he has a 250-year-old black cherry tree in his yard that “never got salt water on it in all those years.”

Matthew, which killed almost 900 people in Haiti before pounding Florida on Friday, was forecast to churn up the coast of the U.S. Southeast, bringing fierce winds and driving rain to coastal Georgia and South Carolina before heading out to sea on Sunday.

So far, some of the dire warnings officials gave about Matthew have not come to pass. The storm skirted Florida’s Atlantic coast without reports of significant damage in cities and towns where the storm swamped streets and toppled trees.

An estimated 355,000 people have evacuated from areasalong coastal South Carolina, officials said.

Daufuskie Island, which is 8 square miles (20 sq km), was isolated enough at one time that it served to preserve the culture of a sizable population of Gullah people, descendants of African slaves with their own language.

The island, with its white sand beaches and wooded tracts, was included on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It has a number of houses and schools built between 1890 and 1930 that were designed in a style that harkens back to a period even earlier than that.

The island, which also has a golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus, has become popular with summer visitors.

The peak of the flooding generated from Hurricane Matthew could hit the island at around 1 a.m. local time on

A spectacular 20 metre-high installation of green lycra is a digital design, derived from nature, realised in lightweight fabric, using the latest digital fabrication techniques to create more with less.

LAVA designed the Green Void installation specifically for the central atrium of Customs House Sydney. Suspended from a height of almost 20m and spanning five levels, the sculpture was an intense visual contrast to the beautifully restored heritage interior of Customs House.

Green Void was a digital design, derived from nature, realised in lightweight fabric, using the latest digital fabrication and engineering techniques, to create more with less. The installation was comprised of 3000cubic metres of space enclosed within a minimal surface areaof 300 square metres and used only 40 kg of lightweight material.

The shape of the installation was not explicitly designed but was the result of the most efficient connection of different boundaries in three-dimensional space, found in nature in cells, crystals and soap bubbles. LAVA determined the connection points within the space and the rest was a mathematical formula with a minimal surface. The concept was achieved with a flexible material that follows the forces of gravity, tension and growth, similar to a spider web or a coral reef.

Multimedia artist Peter Murphy created 3D immersive imagery that was viewed without shutter glasses displayed over the new 3D screen technology.

The exhibition was part of the continuous multidisciplinary program developed by Jennifer Kwok, Manager of Customs House, to activate the

What Was the Hellfire Club?

The Hellfire Clubs were founded in the eighteenth century, and were typically comprised of young aristocrats with a shared interest in drinking, debauchery and gambling. The first Hellfire Club was founded in England by the Duke of Wharton in 1719, but it was suppressed by order of King George Ist in 1721. The Irish Hellfire Club was founded in the 1730s, but had largely broken up by the early 1740s as it lost key members through death, bankruptcy and exile. One of the most infamous Hellfire Clubs was established in England by Sir Francis Dashwood in 1755, and nicknamed the ‘Monks of Medmenham Abbey’ as they met in an old Cistercian monastery on the banks ofClub generally refers to the hunting lodge on the summit of Montpelier Hill, 6km from Tallaght in South County Dublin.

waters.”

The study, “Fishes of Marine Protected Areas Near La Jolla, California,” published in the Bulletin of the Southern California Academy of Sciences in December 2014, was funded by California Sea Grant and the Link Family Foundation. The diversity of marine life in the La Jolla area documented by this and other studies suggests that though small geographically, individual marine protected areas play an important role in preserving marine ecosystems statewide.

Hastings, the curator of the Marine Vertebrate Collection, Collection Manager H.J. Walker, and former Scripps PhD students Matt Craig, Brad Erisman, and John Hyde, used archived collection data to examine the diversity of fishes in La Jolla, from Torrey Pines to Tourmaline Beach within 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) of shore. The study documented 113 common species found 10 ormore times, 83 uncommon species collected three to nine times, and 68 rare species recorded only once or twice. Noteworthy species include the White Shark, Ocean Sunfish, Giant Seabass, and 35 species of rockfishes in the genus Sebastes.

Habitats near the La Jolla coastline include sandy and muddy bottoms, sea grass beds, rocky reefs, kelp forests, deep submarine canyons, and open ocean waters. This rich diversity of habitats, and the organisms it supports, inspired the establishment of local marine protected areas (MPAs) as early as the 1970s and their recent expansion as a part of the California coastal reserve system. Current MPAs include the Matlahuayl State Marine Reserve (formerly called the San Diego-La Jolla Ecological Reserve) from La Jolla Cove to Scripps Pier, the San Diego-Scripps Coastal State Marine


Conservation Area north of Scripps Pier, and off the southern end of the La Jolla peninsula, the South La Jolla State Marine Reserve, and the South La Jolla State Marine Conservation Area.

Natural history collections are an important part of research institutions such as Scripps. The Marine Vertebrate Collection, one of five oceanographic collections at Scripps, started in the early 1900s when Percy Barnhart, the collection’s first curator, archived a modest number of specimens from the San Diego area. World-renowned ichthyologist Carl Hubbs arrived at Scripps in 1944 with plans to expand the collection. In his first two years, Hubbs made more than 200 collections of fishes from La Jolla and within a decade had amassed over 500 collections from the immediate vicinity. By 1964, Hubbs and colleagues hadin California.

In addition to providing an inventory of species found in a certain area, natural history collections provide insight into faunal changes such as those that may occur because of coastal development, climate change, or the appearance of invasive species. However, natural history collections generally are unable to reveal changes in abundance because they often lack repeated quantitative samples. To address this, Hastings and colleagues added a quantitative component to their study. Divers counted conspicuous fish along transects at four different depths at La Jolla Cove and at nearby Boomers reef, which has similar rocky, algal turf and kelp forest habitats but is outside of the protected area. At the end of four years they had completed 500 transects and counted well over 90,000 fishes representing 51 species,

Before:  NEWMAN, KEARSE, and CALABRESI, Circuit Judges.
KEARSE, Circuit Judge:

1
Plaintiff Josef Fischl, formerly an inmate in New York State's Clinton Correctional Facility ("Clinton"), appeals from a final judgment of the United States District Court for the Northern District of New At one end of each company was a secured area known as the "officer's cage."   The doors of the individual cells on each company could be opened only by means of controls on a panel in the officer's cage;  the panel, as secured by a heavy sliding steel door that could be locked, was called a "lockbox."   The practice was for both the lockbox and the cage to be locked up when no officer was in the officer's cage and the control panel was not in use.

6
The day-shift staff on E-Block consisted of a block sergeant, who had overall command of E-Block, and eight corrections officers.  Six of the corrections officers held positions as "company officers";  the remaining two officers


were not attached to any particular company but held general supervisory positions.  The lockbox keys for all of the companies were interchangeable;  thus, any company officer on E-Block would have been able to open another company's lockbox with his own set of keys and thereby gain access to that company's control panel.

7
On September 4, 1991, Armitage was the sergeant in charge of E-Block;  he had held that position for some two years.  Fischl had been housed on E-Block's "Four Company" since late August 1991.  His cell was the 17th away from the officer's cage.  Marshall was the officer in charge of Four Company;  Marshall was not regularly assigned to E-Block, and September 4 was the only day he worked there. Armitage's duties took him throughout E-Block and the remainder of the prison;  roughly half of his eight-hour shift was spent on or around the seven companies of E-Block.  Marshall, as a company officer, was required to spend much of his time in the officer's cage.  From his position in the cage, Marshall had access to the control panel from which the Four Company cell doors could be opened.

B. The Assault on Fischl and the Ensuing Threats

9
According to Fischl's deposition testimony, on the night of September 3, 1991, he had arranged to trade shampoo and soda in his possession for food from the prison store possessed by an inmate who was housed on Four Company several cells away from his.  However, after Fischl passed his


items to the inmate in the cell adjacent to his, he received nothing in return.  Fischl reacted angrily to being cheated, and the other inmates laughed and jeered.  Fischl proceeded to retaliate by stuffing the toilet in his cell with rags and flushing it repeatedly, thereby causing the area surrounding his and the other inmates' cells to be flooded.  The water released from the toilet, which eventually spread throughout most of the company, had to be cleaned up that night by a group of inmates known as "porters," who performed custodial and other services in the prison.

10
On the morning of September 4, Armitage and Marshall arrived on E-Block to begin their 7:00 A.M. shift.  They were informed by members of the previous shift thatFischl had flooded most of the Four Company area the night before.  When Armitage went to inspect the area, which still contained debris from the flooding, inmates complained to him about the resulting water damage to their property.  Armitage did not speak to Fischl, who was apparently sleeping.

11
Between 9:00 and 9:30 that morning, Fischl was assaulted in his cell by six inmates.  He did not know the names of any of the six, but he recognized two, whom he knew by the nicknames "Motown" and "Playboy," as inmates assigned to Four Company cells near his, whose property may have been damaged as a result of Fischl's flooding maneuver.  He recognized others, including one he knew by the nickname "Fuquan," as porters who performed tasks


to his aid.  The attack ended only after two other inmate porters came to the door of Fischl's cell and told his assailants, "That's enough.  Don't hit him no more.  You're going to kill him."  (Id. at 24.)   The attackers then departed.

13
Following the attack, Fischl remained in his cell, bleeding profusely, for some 30-40 minutes, after which the company officer, Marshall, passed by.  Fischl asked Marshall to get him medical attention.  Such attention was not forthcoming until Fischl was taken to the prison hospital some two hours later.  At that hospital and at a hospital outside the prison, to which Fischl was taken later, it was determined that in addition to multiple contusions and abrasions, Fischl had sustained threehead-area fractures, to wit, a broken nose, a linear, nondisplaced fracture of the right zygomatic arch, and a blow-out fracture of the right eye socket.

14
Fischl remained in the prison hospital for two weeks.  He testified that during that period, Armitage visited him twice to threaten and harass him, once accompanied by two of the inmates who had participated in the attack.  During both visits, Armitage repeatedly threatened to kill Fischl, while making references to the September 4 assault, stating, inter alia, "This is Clinton.  That's only the first step of the treatment.  That's only the first step of the treatment, you know."  (Fischl Dep. at 28.)   Following Fischl's release from the hospital, the threats and harassment by Armitage allegedly continued.


28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (1994).

17
Following extensive discovery, including the depositions of Fischl, Armitage, Marshall, and others, defendants moved for summary judgment, arguing that no evidence had been produced to show their personal involvement in the assault.  In support of their motion, Armitage and Marshall submitted the various depositions, along with their affirmations stating, inter alia, that they did not know how Fischl had received his injuries.  Marshall stated that his duties as company officer for Four Company on September 4 included letting inmates out of their cells, one at a time, to use the shower or the telephone during the morning hours.  In addition, he frequently walked down the 130-foot length of the Four Company corridor to be sure that nothing was amiss.  Onafter the alleged assault, and played no part in the circumstances resulting in their infliction.

21
Plaintiff's evidence regarding the opening of the cell door is presumptive.  He admits that he could not see who opened the door from his cell, but assumes that defendant Marshall did it because he was the company officer and only he could have done so.  This conclusion ignores the fact that there were seven other correctional officers assigned to E block during the September 4, 1991 day shift and all had access to the cell door lock controls.  Additionally, as the Four Company officer[ ], defendant Marshall's duties did not call for him to remain in a stationary position in the cell door control area throughout his work shift.  He


inferred that defendant Marshall opened the cell door.  Indeed, this evidence includes plaintiff's inconsistent sworn statements about the details of the alleged assault and its results.

24
Opinion at 8-10.  By "inconsistent sworn statements," the court referred to, inter alia, discrepancies in Fischl's assertions as to the number of inmates involved in the assault:  the complaint alleged that Fischl had been attacked by five assailants;  his deposition testimony was generally that he had been attacked by six;  and at one point he testified that four people held him down while three others took turns kicking his face.  See id. at 5. In addition, there was evidence that on the morning of September 4, Fischl had not reported the attack to Marshall or to variousbeaten.  That skepticism, however, rests on both a negative assessment of Fischl's credibility and the drawing of inferences adverse to Fischl.  For purposes of ruling on the motion for summary judgment, Fischl's testimony that he was beaten by the inmates must be accepted as true.  Further, his testimony that he was beaten was supported by photographs taken of him on the afternoon of September 4 showing severe bruises;  by hospital records showing, inter alia, three fractures in the head area;  and by the opinion of a physician that his injuries were blunt-force injuries consistent with his having been kicked and that the blowout fracture of Fischl's eye socket could not possibly have been self-inflicted.  To suggest that there was no assault was


did not warrant the court's dismissing as a matter of law the claim that Marshall permitted and encouraged the inmates to enter Fischl's cell and attack him.  Fischl testified that the attack took place between 9:00 a.m.  and 9:30 a.m.;   Marshall's log book indicates that, within that period, he made rounds at 9:17 and 9:27.  Hence, he was in the control area from 9:00 until 9:17;  and after 9:17, he was in the corridor for some period, starting out on two tours before 9:30.  Assuming the accuracy of Fischl's estimates that the attack occurred between 9:00 and 9:30 and lasted some 10 minutes, the record suggests that Marshall either was in the control area at the time Fischl's cell door wasthe 9:27 tour was begun just 10 minutes after the start of the previous tour.  Viewing that deviation from routine in conjunction with the evidence, discussed in Part II.B. below, that Armitage collaborated with the inmates in planning the assault, the jury could permissibly infer that Marshall was instructed by Armitage to leave the cage briefly for the anomalous tour at 9:27, and to leave it unlocked, thereby permitting Armitage to enter the cage and unlock Fischl's cell without Marshall's seeing him do so.  (We note that Marshall did not state, either in his deposition or in his affirmations, that he in fact locked the lockbox and the cage each time he left the cage.)   Taking this view of the record, the jury could


infer on Marshall's part at least a deliberate disregard for Fischl's safety.

39
In sum, the district court's conclusion that "it should not be inferred" that it was Marshall who opened the cell door, Opinion at 10 (emphasis added), was based on the court's own weighing of the evidence, its drawing of inferences adverse to Fischl, and its unfavorable assessments of Fischl's credibility, matters that were not within the province of the court on a motion for summary judgment.  With all permissible inferences drawn in Fischl's favor, and without assessment of his credibility, the record suffices to present a genuine issue as to whether Marshall was personally involved in permitting the attack on Fischl.

40
B. The Dismissal of the Complaint Against Armitage

41
In support of his contention that Armitage was personallyinvolved in permitting the assault, Fischl testified to both first-hand and second-hand evidence.  Fischl's first-hand evidence included his testimony that after the attack, Armitage twice visited him in the hospital and threatened him, and that on one of those visits Armitage was accompanied by two of the attackers.  He also testified that after he left the hospital, Armitage repeatedly threatened his life if Fischl were to "press charges on us."   The district court found this evidence insufficient to defeat summary judgment, reasoning that "mere allegations of verbal abuse, threats or defamations by a correctional officer to a prisoner are not cognizable in a Section 1983 action," and that there was no showing that the alleged threats had been carried out.  Opinion at 11.


The two posts struck a more combative tone for President Donald Trump, who was decidedly more conciliatory in a statement released by the White House Wednesday night. | AP Photo Trump calls appointment of special prosecutor 'the single greatest witch hunt' The president's tweets are a stark contrast from his more restrained tone on Wednesday night.

President Donald Trump on Thursday blasted the appointment of Robert Mueller to be the special prosecutor overseeing the investigation into Russia’s meddling into the 2016 election, calling the probe “the single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history.”

He also accused former President Barack Obama’s administration and the campaign of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton of committing “illegal acts,” complaining that his campaign will now face the scrutiny of a special prosecutorwhile neither his predecessor nor 2016 opponent ever have.

“With all of the illegal acts that took place in the Clinton campaign & Obama Administration, there was never a special councel [sic] appointed!” the president wrote on Twitter on Thursday morning, without elaborating further on the illegal acts he accused the Clinton campaign and Obama administration of committing. (He later fixed the spelling error.)

The flurry of posts comes as Trump's White House is mired in controversy, most of it self-created, stemming from the president's decision to fire FBI Director James Comey last week, a decision he said he made based in part on the bureau's Russia investigation, whichwill now be taken over by Mueller.

Indian clubs belong to a category of exercise and juggling equipment that was popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in Europe, the British Commonwealth and the United States. They comprise bowling-pin shaped wooden "clubs" of varying sizes and weights, which are swung in certain patterns as part of an exercise program. They can range from a few pounds each, up to special clubs that can weigh as much as 50 pounds. Indian clubs derive their name from the much larger and heavier objects of similar shape known as “meels” traditionally used by martial artists and pehlwani wrestlers in India to train for strength. The practice of swinging such clubs to develop physical fitness was first recorded in ancient Egypt


and the Middle East. It was introduced to England by British soldiers who were stationed in India during the 19th century. They were used in carefully choreographed routines where the clubs were swung in unison by a group of exercisers, led by an instructor in the front, similar to modern aerobics classes. The routines varied according to the group's ability and the weight of the clubs used.

There are current physical fitness enthusiasts who have revived the popularity of Indian clubs in the modern day, citing the aerobic exercise and safety advantages over traditional free weight regimens. There are nostalgic replicas of the original clubs being manufactured, as well as modern engineering updates to the concept, such as the iron power bell.

Arkansas Grain Corporation is engaged in the business of processing and selling soy bean oil and meal.  Its Helena division at Helena, Arkansas, was established in 1963.  From outlying plants in the state soy beans are received from she farmers and shipped to the Helena processing plant.


The beans are received by the Corporation's terminal elevators for drying and storing.  Subsequently they are processed into soy bean oil and soy bean meal.  Most of the product is exported.

The alleged unfair labor practices resulted from activities to organize the employees for union representation at the Helena division plant.  A successful election was held on April 23, 1965.  The plant at that time had a total of ninety employees, seventy-five of whom were eligible to vote in the election.

There is no evidence that any attempt was made to interrogate any of the other employeesduring the period leading up to and including the election.2 The Board appears to have based its decision upon the uncorroborated testimony of Employee Meek, the Board's principal witness, and inferences from the record.

Meek credibly testified that Ragsdale had asked him about union activities some 8 or 10 times during the period preceding the April 23, 1965, election.4  Even though he answered the inquiries untruthfully, except on one occasion he stated there was no coercion, threats of reprisal, intimidation or promises.

“Any time you give the means of production to everybody, it changes the world.” Chris Anderson, CEO of 3D Robotics

So it goes with the Maker Economy – otherwise referred to as the Maker Movement. According to Industry Analyst Jeremiah Owyang, the Maker Movement puts power in the hands of people to fund, design, prototype, produce, manufacture, distribute, market, and sell their own goods. According to youth market research firm Ypulse, 69% of millennials wish they could create a new product, and 81% would be interested in helping a company design one. This shift in production also shifts power from large, capital intensive enterprises to individual prosumers.

That shouldn't surprise anyone.

World Peace not only started for the Lakers' last championship-banner-raising squad (2010); he also impressed Bryant with his competitive drive.

"He's the one guy that I can rely on night in and night out to compete and play hard and play with that sense of urgency and no fear," Kobe Bryant said of World Peace in May 2012, via Mark Medina, then with the Los Angeles Times.

Maybe that's reason enough for the Lakers to bite.

They've been heavily criticized for living in the past, but they're presently paying Bryant $25 million for the upcoming campaign. To modify a popular phrase, a happy Mamba could mean a happy life in La-La Land.

That said, not everyone is buying Bryant appeasement as an argument for signing the baller formerlyper RealGM).

Save for a mini-resurgence with the Lakers in 2012-13, his career had been trending in the wrong direction for years.

However, if World Peace has anything left in the tank, it's a stretch to say he's incapable of filling one of the Lakers' needs.

Their depth chart looks painfully thin at small forward, even with head coach Byron Scott telling NBA.com's David Aldridge that Bryant "will play more 3 than 2."

For starters, the 37-year-old Bryant has logged 89 percent of his career minutes at shooting guard. That doesn't mean he couldn't suit up at another spot, but a move would require this old, stubborn dog to learn some new tricks.

Plus, if Bryant is the team's most reliable option at the 3, then it doesn't have one. He's played only


be the exception. But that's not the standard here.

World Peace, who was amnestied by the Lakers in 2013, would almost assuredly be guaranteed nothing. Given where he's at in his career and how many players are already on this roster, he'd likely be extended only a non-guaranteed contract.

With such little risk, the answer to whether World Peace could help the Lakers is clear. Among his toughness, experience, defensive intensity and versatility, he'd bring at least one thing to the table that this revamped roster is missing.

Tony Gonzalez tells agent to start negotiating

Tony Gonzalez hasn't publicly declared that he will return for a 17th NFL season, but here's another sign that he apparently is leaning in that direction: The Atlanta Falcons tight end has given his agent, Tom Condon, the green light to talk to the team about a new contract, a person with knowledge of the negotiations told USA TODAY Sports.

Fantasy Impact:

It looks as if Gonzalez is going to return for another season provided he the Falcons agree to let him miss a portion of training camp. He finished #3 in fantasy PPG in 2012 and #6 in 2011 so another top 5 season is well within reach.the city to defuse the bombs left by IS, said the Observatory.

The London-based watchdog also said the SDF will declare the full capture of Raqqa once the city is fully cleared of IS militants.

According to the monitor group Zach Cunningham Color Rush Jersey , 80 percent of the city has been destroyed, and about 3,100 including IS militants have been killed during the months-long offensives in the city.

A source familiar with the situation in Raqqa told Xinhua that the SDF could declare the liberation of the city within hours or a day.

Meanwhile, IS militants are also losing ground in the key eastern province of Deir al-Zour Deshaun Watson Color Rush Jersey , where the Syrian army has already captured 75 percent of the capital city there.

had already desegregated the McKellar Lake Boat Dock and the Brooks Art Gallery; and the Pine Hill Golf Course had been desegregated prior to the time of the argument of this appeal.  At the time of the hearing in the district court, the City of Memphis was undecided whether it would sell the John Rogers Tennis Court, because it was such valuable property.  However, it has since been desegregated.  As to the Pink Palace Museum, it was given to the City on the condition that it should be used only by white people, with a provision of reverter in the deed, in case of violation of this condition; and the district court ordered the City, within ninety days, to file suit in the courts ofTennessee for a declaratory judgment in order to secure a full adjudication of all matters that might affect the use, and reversion, and to determine what effect integration of the races at the Museum would have upon the title of the City of Memphis to the property.

It may be generally said, then, that the complaint of appellants as to the refusal of the City to permit them to use the parks specified in their allegation on the ground of racial discrimination has been remedied by the City through its action in desegregating the recreational facilities in question.  However, appellants rest their claim on the other allegation of their complaint to the effect that the City of Memphis is violating their constitutional rights in maintaining and operating all


(75 S.Ct. 753, 99 L.Ed. 1083), which contemplates allowing a delay in the desegregation of public elementary and secondary schools, where certain conditions exist, is applicable in any action involving public recreational facilities.'  As contended by appellants, 'logic as well as law requires limiting approval of delay to litigation involving public elementary and secondary schools, for attendance in such schools is compulsory almost everywhere whereas no one is compelled to utilize public recreational facilities.'

5
The background of the case is as follows: The City of Memphis has a population of approximately 500,000 people, of whom 63% are white, and 37% are Negro.  Approximately 100,000 children participate in one or more of the recreational activities sponsored by the Memphis Park Commission and carried on through its Recreational Department. This is a remarkable civic achievement on the part of the City of Memphis and its citizens.  Of the 100,000 children participating, approximately 65,000 are white, and 35,000 are Negro.  The Department sponsors many and varied types of recreational activities, including, but not limited to, competitive sports, such as baseball and basketball, as well as dancing and similar activities.  The Recreational Department headquarters is itself operated on an integrated basis.  All Negro Supervisors and Directors are paid on the same salary schedule as the white Supervisors and Directors; and the qualifications of white and Negro Supervisors and Directors are the same.  The Recreational Department of the Memphis Park Commission is rated by competent authorities as the best in the South; and its


Gallery in Overton Park, and the McKeller Lake Boat Dock.  In June, 1961, the Park Commission's plan, which was approved by the court in the instant case, proposed to desegregate Fairgrounds Amusement Park at the end of 1961.  This park, at the time of the hearing of this appeal, had already been desegregated.  The Park Commission's plan also proposed, beginning in January 1962, to desegregated all 7 public golf courses on a three-year schedule.  Four golf courses had already been desegregated at the time of the hearing of this appeal.

7
From the testimony of the Director of Parks of the City of Memphis, it appeared that, as each park and facility was desegregated, more recreational directors and supervisors were necessary and were appointed, and morein by great numbers of people at parks and playgrounds; and this 'confusion' had nothing to do with desegregation, since all of those taking part in the exercises were Negroes.  The difficulty obviously arose from a congregation of toughs, juvenile delinquents, and criminal elements, who, out of all proportion to their nembers, can cause trouble, violence, fighting, and bloodshed, among a great crowed of innocent people.

10
James C. Macdonald, Chief of Police of the City of Memphis, who had been with the Police Department twenty-one years, stated that he had given several years of thought and consideration, since the decision in the Brown case, to the problems of desegregation in Memphis, from the standpoint on the preservation of law and order; that when trouble resulted from 'sit ins'


The income from concessions, or similar operations, aggregated three quarters of a million dollars a year, or a third of the budget, and the Park Commission is obliged to earn this amount in order to operate the various facilities.  If a large number of the facilities were closed down, the operating income would be seriously curtailed.  Mr. Pierotti stated that one of the reasons for his favoring the plan of a more gradual desegregation, rather than immediate integration of all the parks and recreational facilities, was what he stated to be the rather peculiar situation and location of Mimphis,-- a city of a half a million people, with more than one-third of its population consisting of Negro citizens; with the State of Arkansas just acrossthe river from Memphis; and the State of Mississippi, five miles south of the city limits of Memphis; where such surrounding area was predominately Negro; and where those people from this surrounding area made use of the recreational facilities.  He felt that since the taxes used to maintain these parks and recreational facilities were paid by the citizens of Memphis, the predominance of a colored population, composed not only of Negro citizens in Memphis, but including many in the adjoining areas of Mississippi and Arkansas, who used the parks, would 'promote' violence on the part of both Negroes and whites, in case of immediate desegregation of all of the parks, playgrounds and recreational facilities of the City of Memphis; and he based his opinion on his consultations


sometime in a remote or uncertain future.  On the trial it submitted a plan for the desegregation for a number of the parks and recreational facilities of the City, of which a substantial part had already been carried out after the plan was prepared, and before the hearing in the district court.  It was further shown that the City had also desegregated a further substantial number of recreational facilities, subsequent to the hearing in the district court, and before the arguments in this court on the present appeal; and, from the statements made during arguments on appeal by counsel for the City as to the plan and intention of the City, which apparently were not doubted by counsel for appellants, it would appear that a substantialthe City of Memphis.  This plan, which, it appears, has been formulated, but which has not yet been filed with the district court, because of this intervening appeal, is not before us, therefore, for consideration.

17
The plan of the Memphis Park Commission, which was before the district court for integration of certain recreational facilities, provided for the desegregation of the Fairgrounds Amusement Park by the end of 1961; for the desegregation of three golf courses by March 1, 1962; for the desegregation of three more golf courses (one, used at present exclusively by Negroes) before March 1, 1963; and for the desegregation of the last of the seven municipal golf courses at the end of 1963.  Moreover, in the plan, the Memphis Park Commission stated that it


fact and conclusions of law, the district court said:

26
'Full implementation of the constitutional principles as announced in the Brown Case requires solution of varied local problems.  Local authorities, and in this case the responsible Park Commission officials, have the primary responsibility of elucidating, assessing and solving these problems, The District Courts have the obligation of determining whether the action of local authorities constitutes good faith implementation of the governing constitutional principles; and in fashioning and effectuating decrees, the Court is guided by equitable principles.  Traditionally, equity has been characterized by a practical flexibility in shaping its remedies and by a facility for adjusting and reconciling public and private needs,'

27
'In determining whethe defendants are acting in good faith in recognizing the constitutional rights of Negro citizens toCity's recreational facilities, prior to the hearing in the district court, and a continuing program of desegregation since that time; the evidence that immediate desegregation of all of the City's parks, playgrounds, and recreational facilities would result in great damage to the organized system of play for many children, and the probable closing of a number of recreational facilities, due to the necessity of providing considerable additional police protection and park supervision; the past and present success of the continuing plan of desegregation now being peacefully and harmoniously carried out by the City; the unquestioned good faith of the officials of the City and Park Commission in attempting to comply, in the field of recreation, with the opinion of the Supreme Court in Brown v. Board of Education,


Israel Sends Hamas 36-Hour Ultimatum

Israel has delivered an ultimatum to Hamas through Egypt, according to which the IDF will widen its offensive in Gaza in 36 hours unless Hamas ceases firing rockets and smuggling arms into Gaza, IDF Radio reported Monday morning.

Israel has delivered an ultimatum to Hamas through Egypt, according to which the IDF will widen its offensive in Gaza in 36 hours unless Hamas ceases firing rockets and smuggling arms into Gaza, IDF Radio reported Monday morning.

"Israel had originally given an ultimatum of 48 hours to stop attacks from Gaza into Israel, and threatened with military attacks, then hit but going about 24 hours earlier. [36] The early air strike came as Hamas entirely surprisingly, they do not involve counting the start of the Israeli offensiveeaten as a meal itself (plain) or in soups and made with any meat from turkey to fish. Often, they are no bigger in size than golf balls; in the region of Abruzzo, they can be no bigger in size than marbles and called polpettines.

Polpettes are more commonly found at the family table than on a restaurant menu and hold a dear place in the heart of Italian home cooking. Pellegrino Artusi was a Florentine silk merchant, who in retirement followed his passion for food, traveling and recording recipes. In 1891, he earned the unofficial title of ‘the father of Italian cuisine‘ when he published the first modern Italian cookbook titled La scienza in cucina e l’Arte di mangiar bene: Manuale practico per le famiglie (The science of


garlic, oil, and tomatoes called marinara, supposedly because it was made quickly, as soon as the mariners’ wives spotted their husbands returning fishing boats in the distance.”

For home cooks in the United States, this “sailor sauce” dominated Italian-American cuisine because canned tomatoes (and spaghetti) were among the only items available in groceries.

Which leads to the final part of the holy trinity, spaghetti. Though many credit Marco Polo for introducing Italy to pasta, Italians were eating it long before. The most accepted theory is the Arab invasion of Siciliy in the 8th century. But since its beginning in Italy, pasta has been considered as more of an appetizer and not a main course or side dish. It was actually American influence that invented a new role for pasta inthe scale itself, which is how the statue looks in the temple.
My questions are;

Who is this Govindaraja?
What does it mean to say that he is Venkateshwara's elder brother?
Was he a son of Venkateshwara's foster mother Vakuladevi?
I wasn't aware that Vakuladevi had any biological children or was even married.  I just thought Vishnu came to the house of Vakuladevi when she was an elderly woman living alone, but was she a widow or something?  (Presumably if she had a husband he would be the next birth of Nandagopa, just as she was the next birth of Yashoda.)
Or was Vakuladevi a foster mother to Govindaraja just as she was a foster mother to Venkateshwara?
Is anything else known about Govindaraja other than this gold-counting story, for instance how and

SUKKUR: A large number of members of the Sikh community, their well-wishers and supporters took out a rally in Jacobabad on Monday in protest against desecration of their holy book Guru Granth Sahib in India and killing by police of fellow Sikh protesters who were agitating against the incident of sacrilege in India.

The enraged protesters started the rally from Gurdwara carrying an effigy of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and reached the DC Chowk where they held a sit-in and torched the effigy. They later marched to the press club where they held a sit-in again.

Addressing the protesters at the press club, Sardar Santosh Singh, Sardar Shamsher Singh, Sardar Sarandar Singh, Sardar Saran Singh, Sardar Ajeet Singh, leader of the Sunni Tehreek Abdul Khaliq Qadri, leader of JamiatTalaba Islam Hamadullah Ansari, father Shah Rukh, Hindu leader Dileep Kumar, Riaz Ahmed Abro, Ghulam Sarwar Sadhayo and others said that Modi government had been playing with fire since it came to power. Modi was a terrorist and killer of thousands of innocent people, they said.

They said that incidents of desecration of the holy book of the Sikh community appeared to be aimed at creating a law and order situation. Instead of maintaining peace, police further added fuel to the fire by opening fire on innocent Sikh protesters who were expressing their anger at the sacrilege, they said.

They demanded that the United Nations Organisation and international human rights organisations take immediate steps to stop the Modi government from such provocations and hurting religious sentiments of minorities.

In 1887, after a season of white baseball players increasingly refusing to play with or against black players, the “gentleman’s agreement” to implement a color line in professional baseball was approved. Cap Anson, one of the greatest players—and most outspoken bigots—of the era, receives much of blame for using his influence to force the issue. Truth be told, though, American professional baseball rosters were stacked with bigots who came from Southern and Northern upbringings. The ills of a society were again reflected in its sports.

In 1901, John McGraw of the newly formed Baltimore Orioles club of the brand new American League attempted to bring in a black player named Charlie Grant into the whites-only league in what has been coined, The Tokohama Ruse. The


Tokohama Ruse has so much wrong with it. Blatant racist actions by all parties.

Fueled by a desire to win and compete in the fledgling league, John McGraw’s new Baltimore Orioles team was desperate to bring in talent. This original version of the O’s was short-lived as they went bankrupt after the 1902 season and the modern version of the O’s would not be established until 1954 when the St. Louis Browns moved to Baltimore. During their training camp in Hot Spring, Arkansas, McGraw ran across an extremely talented infielder who he wanted to sign.

The problem was the player McGraw had set his sights on was a light-complexioned black baseball player named, Charlie Grant. Grant was a talented infielder with the Negro League Columbia Giants playing out of Chicago.In order to make financial ends meet during the offseason, he was working at a resort in Hot Springs. Grant and some of the other player/employees of the resort formed a baseball squad whose main purpose was to provide a sports entertainment option for the guests.

McGraw saw Grant play and wanted to sign him. He knew none of the other owners would allow him to bring in a black player, so he came up with one of the more blatant racist moves in sports history. Light skinned Charlie Grant was now Chief Charlie Tokohama, a Cherokee who was the son of a white father and a Cherokee mother from Lawrence, Kansas. McGraw developed the elaborate backstory and chose the name from a map of Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma)
