reconstructive surgery, and anesthesiology.

The 11-hour operation was led by neurosurgeon Dr. Gregory Heuer and plastic surgeon Dr. Jesse Taylor. Both are also on the faculty of the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.

"Separating conjoined twins is a very complex surgery followed by a long and complicated recovery, but we are very hopeful for a positive outcome," Taylor said in a press statement.

Heuer described some of the operation details.

"During the separation surgery, our team first meticulously separated the infants' shared blood vessels and dura, the tough protective membrane surrounding both brains, then moved on to separate the sagittal sinus, the most difficult portion of the operation," he said in a statement.

Then they divided the medical team in half, one group for each of the girls, andfinished the reconstruction portion of the surgery, he said.

Physicians monitoring the twins' vital signs and administering their anesthesia throughout the operation used green and purple tape, one color for each baby, to track their separate progress.

Erin and Abby are recovering in the hospital's Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and being closely monitored. The post-surgery care team also includes nutritionists and developmental pediatricians to help the newly separated babies thrive.

This was the 23rd time that surgeons at CHOP have separated a pair of conjoined twins, but the Delaneys are the first pair conjoined at the head.

Parents Heather and Riley Delaney learned they were expecting conjoined twins about 11 weeks into the pregnancy. They traveled from their home in North Carolina to Philadelphia during Heather's 19th week of pregnancy for evaluation

While UK figures out if courts are unfair to fathers,

The BBC has a decent roundup of the state of the British government's and family court's alleged bias against fathers; the issues are predictable, but at least they're spelled out: visitation rights, automatic custody decisions, child support payments.

While it's increasingly apparent that British courts are failing fathers, it's all but certain that British therapists are failing them. At least that's what it looks like to the dope in the Batman costume standing on the ledge of Buckingham Palace for five hours.Mayors' Conferences

Following is a rough summary compiled by ECAD of the main points from some of the presentations. For in depth information about the presentations or the publications featured download the slides or contact the speakers directly.

The conference participants were welcomed by the Chairman of Rogeland County Council Solveig Ege Tegnesdal and the vice mayor of Stavanger Bjørg Tysdal Moe.

The first Key note speaker was Mr. Raymond Yans, Member of the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) and its former chair between the years 2012-2014. In his speech Building healthy and safe cities through prevention and treatment, Mr. Yans emphasized the role of demand reduction and prevention as cost efficient and effective efforts to counteract the economic and social consequences of drug abuse and save government costs later on.

was spring and there was fresh foliage on the trees, the different hues of greens where really vibrant. I pulled over at the side of the road and took some photos. The idea for a painting was born!

In 2018 I went to Phuket, Thailand at the moment and I brought my paints with me. I wanted to paint a tropical beach and some palm trees I went to Kata Beach and I decided to paint the beach outdoors, known as painting 'en plein air'.

It was a hot, sunny and hazy day what with Thailand being in the tropics, it's very humid.

I painted this tropical beach scene at Kata Beach, I'll show you how I painted it.

Have you ever tried painting outdoors? Painting outdoors is challenging but really goodinspired by an area called Dalefield which is located in the Wakatipu Basin, just outside of Queenstown, New Zealand. I frequently come to this area to paint as there are so many subjects to capture on canvas including trees, fields, mountains and animals.

I came here to paint in March the day after we'd had a cold spell of weather that left snow on the mountains. Given that New Zealand is in the southern hemisphere the seasons are reversed and so February is a summer month. Anyway I thought it would make for an interesting painting with trees and fields juxtaposed against some snowy mountains.

Continuing the theme of painting seascapes from the last blog and YouTube video I thought I'd show you how you can paint a breaking wave


in five easy stages which includes:

Have you ever tried painting outdoors on location? Let me tell you it's really good fun, it's challenging but it gets you outside and it really improves your painting skills especially if you're a studio painter.

Recently I took my paints and easel on a little road trip to Fiordland National Park in the South Island of New Zealand. Fiordland is a very mountainous region of New Zealand and is perfect for painting outdoors on location which is also known as painting 'en plein air'.dissolving into the molten glass at the temperatures and viscosities that exist in the isopipe's trough and along the upper walls (weirs) on the outside of the isopipe. The temperature of the glass is higher and its viscosity is lower at these portions of the isopipe as compared to the isopipe's lower portions since as the glass travels down the isopipe, it cools and becomes more viscous.
The solubility and diffusivity of zirconia in molten glass is a function of the glass' temperature and viscosity (i.e., as the temperature of the glass decreases and the viscosity increases, less zirconia can be held in solution and the rate of diffusion decreases). As the glass nears the bottom (root) of the isopipe, it may become supersaturated with zirconia. As a result,


distribution can be compensated by tilting the isopipe, but only within a narrow range of angles. Heating at the top of the isopipe occurs because the heating elements typically used to modify the temperature of the glass flowing down the sides of the isopipe are contained within a common plenum. As illustrated in FIG. 1, an isopipe 10, as commonly used today, comprises a plurality of heating elements 12a-12d and 14a-14d distributed upward from root 14 along both sides of the isopipe. Heating elements 12a-12d and 14a-14d are contained within the structure of enclosure 16 and more particularly within common plenum 18. As a result, an increase in the temperature of the bottom-most heating element has a noticeable effect on the temperature at the top of isopipe 10.agreement was made in late 2015 and bolstered in 2016, but this plan was most likely developed much earlier.

In a report issued in June of 2015, Goode stated that he attended a Super-Federation Council meeting wherein the first public allusion of a limited disclosure plan was mentioned:

The person at the podium then asked that there be no more Alliance Disclosures through myself or the people I am talking to including David Wilcock until after an agreed upon date in late November of 2015. They said that a well-known public servant would be sacrificed in the operation to implement their plan for an incremental disclosure. (Source)

Whether or not the “well-known public servant” was sacrificed remains unclear. On the other hand, partial disclosure efforts have continued to pour out into

He refused to apologise on Tuesday, despite pressure from senior Labor ministers and anonymous critics in the Coalition. Education Minister Simon Birmingham Credit:Alex Ellinghausen The National Catholic Education Commission does not accept it is in a privileged position. Acting executive director Ray Collins dismissed that as a "retrospective argument", while Nicola Taylor, the group's senior data and policy analyst, said "flaws in the system in the past" did not justify "flaws in the system in the present".

Instead, the Catholic sector says it is being robbed to the tune of $1.1 billion, because overfunded schools within its system had their money cut straight away - rather than over 10 years, like independent schools. "They went from being overfunded to underfunded virtually


overnight," Ms Taylor said. She gave the "extreme example" of an unnamed Catholic school in Sydney that was receiving 130 per cent of its appropriate allocation, which she said "lost $3.7 million of its funding in one year". The National Catholic Education Commission does not believe its schools are better off than others. Credit:Reuters The NCEC conceded Catholic educators in each state or diocese ultimately decide how much money each school receives, not the Turnbull government. However, Senator Birmingham has also written to each school telling it how much money it should get from head office, effectively tying the Catholic administrators' hands. Jim Hanna, head of external relations at Catholic Schools NSW, stressed the Catholic system as a whole was underfunded, and said he believed the unfair transitionprocess was an "inadvertent mistake" by Senator Birmingham. "The government has been trying to find a way of justifying it ever since," he said.

The anger is most pronounced in Victoria, where Catholic Education Melbourne commissioned robocalls advocating a vote for Labor in last weekend's Batman byelection. Labor has promised to give an extra $17 billion to schools over 10 years, including $250 million for Catholics in its first two years. Loading Jumping into the sectarian war, Labor's education spokeswoman Tanya Plibersek accused Senator Birmingham of making an anti-Catholic "slur" under pressure. "He should apologise," she said. Stephen Elder, executive director of Catholic Education Melbourne, has accused the minister of "sneering", but said he was not offended by the comparison to Judas. He also confirmed CEM had paid for


the robocalls in Batman. Despite fears the Catholics will unleash a war chest against the Coalition come the election, the NCEC and Catholic Schools NSW indicated they were unlikely to replicate the robocalls of their Victorian branch. However, they stressed they would clearly inform parents of the parties' school funding policies ahead of the election.review of the Committee's petition, Shapiro has forfeited any equitable argument against imposing costs and fees under § 1447(c).

YbCl3 is also used to track digestion in animals. Certain additives to swine feed, such as probiotics, may be added to either solid feed or drinking liquids. YbCl3 travels
with the solid food and therefore helps determine which food phase is ideal to incorporate the food additive. The YbCl3 concentration is quantified by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry to within 0.0009 μg/mL. YbCl3 concentration versus time yields the flow rate of solid particulates in the animal's digestion. The animal is not harmed by the YbCl3 since YbCl3 is simply excreted in fecal matter and no change in body weight, organ weight, or hematocrit levels has been observed in mice.

The catalytic nature of YbCl3 also has an application in DNA microarrays,been involved in both fires. Consequently, Martin published a $5,000 reward offer for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the persons responsible for the fire.
In June 1969 the defendant, Michael Allen Tarnef, responded to Martin's ad by calling the listed number and agreed to meet Martin and one William Hagar, manager of the White Swan at the time of the fire. Later that day, Tarnef met Martin and Hagar at the Cushman Street Bridge. Tarnef, using the pseudonym Michael Reily [phonetic] drove around with Martin and Hagar for a period of time and discussed the White Swan fire. Accounts of this conversation offered at trial by the three participants varied considerably. Martin testified that Tarnef stated that Sam Kelly actually set the fire and that a


boy named Stretch was also involved. Tarnef testified that he implicated Sam Kelly, Floyd Stretch and Eberhard as well as a Mr. Sims and Mr. Chisolm, but not himself. Hager, however, testified that Tarnef implicated himself as well as the other persons mentioned above. Martin paid Tarnef $380 for this information. Martin related the above to the Fairbanks Police Department and to Mr. Robert Timlin, a professional arson investigator from Seattle who had been in Fairbanks on the day of the fire at Martin's request.
Martin also contacted Thomas Fenton, a Fairbanks attorney and former district attorney, and asked that he visit Tarnef, who was then incarcerated at Northern Regional Correction Institute on another unrelated charge, and attempt to get a statement from him about the fire. Fenton visitedtalking with Sam Kelly and asked him if he was interested in making some easy money, and when he said yes, we went over to the Polaris lounge and got a hold of Joe Sims  Joe told him what he had to do and they agreed on terms  at this time I left.
Timlin testified that although Tarnef apparently wanted to bargain that he made Tarnef no promise of leniency and told him that it "was strictly up to the district attorney" whether he would be granted immunity for "turning so called state's evidence." Timlin also stated that he advised Tarnef of his constitutional rights:
A: After the interview with Mr. Tarnef and prior to the time that the statement was reduced to writing, I informed Mr. Tarnef


of his conversation with Timlin was considerably different. He testified that Timlin told him that no charges would be brought against him, he would get a $5,000 reward, and that his bond would be furnished by Martin. Tarnef stated that much of the wording of the statement was not his own, but was furnished by Timlin. Tarnef further testified that he knew nothing about the fire except what was related to him by Sam Kelly and, moreover, the only reason he gave the "false" statement was because he thought it could not be used against him since Timlin had not advised him of his rights:
A. When he  after he said that he was working for the ah  this insurance company as a private investigator, he saidThe motion was denied and Tarnef was tried by a jury beginning later that same month and found guilty of second degree arson. On March 31, 1971, he was sentenced to five years, the sentence to run concurrently with a ten-year sentence imposed by Judge Hepp for a narcotics offense.
Tarnef alleged a variety of errors in the process which led to his conviction. These are set out and discussed separately because no satisfactory method of continuity is available to discuss such unrelated topics. Tarnef's allegations of error are as follows:
1. AS 11.20.020, under which he was convicted, is an unconstitutional exercise of police power to the extent it makes innocent behavior criminal.
2. He was denied due process of law as guaranteed by the fourteenth amendment to the United


11.20.020, the arson statute, together with AS 12.15.010. AS 12.15.010 provides:

Abrogation of distinctions between accessories and principals. The distinction between an accessory before the fact and a principal, and between principals in the first and second degree is abrogated; and all persons concerned in the commission of a crime, whether they directly commit the act constituting the crime or, though not present, aid and abet in its commission, shall be prosecuted, tried, and punished as principals. (Emphasis added.)[6]
The most sensible way to construe the second degree arson statute is that the legislature used the words "aids, counsels or procures" as synonymous with "aid and abet". Since AS 11.20.020 prescribes the same punishment for the perpetrator and the person who "aids, counsels or procures" the burning, this reading isor procures the burning of a building", criminal intent is required as a necessary element of the crime.
Finally, it should be emphasized that the judge correctly instructed the jury that it could not find Tarnef guilty under the arson statute unless it found he possessed the requisite criminal intent.[9]

*930 II
Appellant next argues that he was denied due process of law and deprived of his right to speedy trial because of the delay prior to trial. The fire at the White Swan occurred on April 25, 1969; Tarnef's trial began on February 24, 1971.
There is considerable confusion and disagreement as to whether Tarnef made a motion at trial to dismiss for the alleged due process and speedy trial violation. In his statement of points on appeal appellant stated: "6.


May 6, Tarnef moved for a transcript of the grand jury minutes. The court took the motion under advisement on May 21 and entered an order on June 4 denying the motion. On June 22 Tarnef, acting pro se, filed a notice of appeal to the Supreme Court accompanied by an affidavit and on July 29 filed a statement of points on appeal and designation of record. This court, treating Tarnef's motion as a petition for review, entered an order denying his motion on August 31. On September 30 Tarnef filed an affidavit in an attempt to disqualify Judges Hepp and Taylor, and a motion to have access to the legal library. On October 28 Tarnef filed a pauper's affidavit and Millard Ingraham was appointed to represent him.obtain access to the appellant who was incarcerated in the Fairbanks Regional Correction Center. After obtaining the statement the police drove appellant and Timlin around the city to confirm the accuracy of the statement. Timlin, himself, recognized his position as basically part of the official team, for he testified he thought he had to give the Miranda warning both because of his background as a former law enforcement officer and the nature of his position. In fact, he testified he did give such a warning to appellant in this case.
Therefore, we hold under the facts of this case that Timlin was required to give a Miranda warning and secure the defendant's waiver of rights before undertaking interrogation of appellant.[22]
While there is substantial testimony from Timlin and Hagar that

Image caption Mr Kashgari' has since deleted his controversial tweet about the Prophet Muhammad

The Malaysian government has defended its deportation of a Saudi journalist accused of insulting the Prophet Muhammad in a tweet

Home Minister Hishamuddin Hussein said the deportation to Saudi Arabia was legal and that Malaysia cannot be seen as a safe haven.

Hamza Kashgari, 23, was sent back to Saudi Arabia on Sunday.

Mr Kashgari's controversial tweet last week sparked more than 30,000 responses and several death threats.

Insulting the prophet is considered blasphemous in Islam and can be punishable by death in Saudi Arabia.

He has since removed the tweet and apologised for his comments.

Mr Kashgari fled Saudi Arabia and was detained when he arrived in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday.

His lawyers claimed to have obtained a court injunction tokeep him in Malaysia. But the government deported him, saying that they did not receive any court order.

"I will not allow Malaysia to be seen as a safe country for terrorists and those who are wanted by their countries of origin, and also be seen as a transit county,'' Mr Hussein was quoted by the Associated Press news agency as saying.

According to the BBC's Jennifer Pak, Malaysia and Saudi Arabia do not have a formal extradition treaty. This is the reason why human rights activists say that Malaysia has violated international human rights.

Amnesty International has said that Mr Kashgari is a "prisoner of conscience".

"If he (Kashgari) faces execution back in Saudi Arabia, the Malaysian government will have blood on its hands," said Phil Robertson, Asia deputy director of

Aljazeera Arabic is making the point that a lot hinges on the Libyan tribes’ response to the crisis. The reporter says that the officer corps is actually an assemblage of tribal notables cultivated by Qaddafi over the years, and in the end tribal loyalties may win out. The BBC concurs.

Thus, The city of Az-Zintan 150 km to the southwest of Tripoli is a major tribal center, Including of the powerful Warfala tribe, which has turned on Qaddafi. The az-Zintan tribes are even facilitating the volunteer activities of youth who want to go to the capital and help rescue its besieged population.

The former leader of the Awlad Sulaiman tribe, Sheikh Saif al-Nasr, went on Aljazeera and broadcast an appeal to the young peopleof this tribe and others in the south to join in the protests and end the dictatorship.

Likewise, the Tarhun tribe has largely washed its hands of Qaddafi. It is key because about a third of the residents of Tripoli belong to it.

And even some members of Qaddafi’s own Qadhadfa tribe are turning on him.

On the Libyan-Egyptian border, Members of the Awlad Ali tribe, who trace their origins back to Libya, condemned the iron-fisted crackdown of the regime.

A lot of people love Tom Brady. He's got four Super Bowls, he took a run at the NFL commissioner and won, and the dude posts up in GQ rocking a pair of Uggs and somehow pulls it off. That trifecta can attract some interesting fans.

The New England Patriots and their star quarterback were in Arlington today taking on the Dallas Cowboys, but that didn't stop a diehard fan from rolling up with some, uh, interesting signs of support.

This wonderful lady rolled into AT&T Stadium wearing a shirt that reads "Sit On My Face Tom Brady," and an accompanying sign with the always hilarious play on Deflategate, reading "Hey Brady You Can Inflate My Uterus." Judging by the large drink she's holding in her hand in the pictureto more deaths than the nuclear blast at Hiroshima, Japan, that ended World War II.

In 1995, the FBI discovered that Larry Wayne Harris, a microbiologist and resident of Ohio, ordered three vials of bubonic plague from a Maryland supply house and had them delivered to his lab via Federal Express. In a post-delivery exposé, ABC news revealed that the supplier of Harris’s shipment also caters to an international clientele including Iraq’s Saddam Hussein. Although Harris pled guilty to charges of obtaining the bubonic plague under fraudulent circumstances in the spring of 1997, the supplier remains in business.

Consider also the reaction of officials on April 24, 1997, when a petri dish oozing with a red substance labeled anthrax arrived in the mail at B’nai B’rith, a national Jewish organization


located in Washington, DC. Police cordoned off an entire city block, quarantined workers in the building for a day, and asked those in surrounding buildings to evacuate the area immediately. The red ooze turned out to be something other than anthrax and the threat was exposed as a hoax. But the mere possibility of anthrax exposure and the reaction of officials were enough to classify the delivery as an act of terrorism.

These stories illustrate the dual threat posed by a possible biochemical terrorist attack in the United States. First, deadly biological agents are readily available. According to the World Directory of Collections of Cultures and Microorganisms, anthrax is sold and shipped by mail from 54 locations worldwide; the plague is sold in 18 places.

major economies, notably in Europe, would continue expanding at a faster pace than the United States, allowing central bankers to react faster than what markets were pricing in.

"The link-up in the yield differential and the dollar theme means the rally may have further room to run, especially against the euro and sterling as there is a big structural short dollar position in the market," said Salman Ahmed, chief investment strategist at Lombard Odier Investment Managers.(US financial conditions: reut.rs/2JQ5GrH)

Anecdotal evidence suggests short dollar bets may be far bigger, thanks to a slow moving allocation away from the greenback in recent years among large institutional investors.

The dollar’s rally this year is quite a turnaround from 2017 when it weakened against every other currency.

Even in early 2018, most analysts were tippinggreenback losses to escalate. The euro was on a roll, with the ECB looking set to roll back its economic stimulus in September and raise rates in the first quarter of 2019.(Last man standing: reut.rs/2rifa8m)

Similarly, sterling seemed to have left behind its Brexit-related worries due to expectations of two interest rate rises this year by the Bank of England. Likewise, the Japanese economy had enjoyed eight straight quarters of expansion, the longest such run since the 1980s.

But a string of ominously weak data is causing speculation that the ECB may have to delay closing its bond buying program from September. Such data appears to have also scuppered a May rate rise in Britain while Japan ditched on April 27 its timeframe for hitting inflation targets, indicating no let-up


in the second half and substitute Richarlison scored a fifth late on.

The Toffees, who suffered a 6-2 mauling against Tottenham in their last outing, raced into the lead after just two minutes courtesy of Mina's towering header.

Joe Hart could only palm Digne's excellent free-kick into his own net before Ben Mee was penalised for handling the ball inside his own area.

Sigurdsson sent Hart the wrong way as Everton put their thrashing by Spurs firmly behind them, but Gibson's goal after a goalline scramble gave the hosts some hope heading into half-time.

Burnley were much brighter in the second half, but as they chased the game they left space behind for the tricky Bernard to exploit.

The Brazilian did not get on the scoresheet, but his cushioned pass to Digne setup the Frenchman to drill the ball into the far corner and put the game firmly to bed.

Richarlison came off the bench to add the fifth as Everton moved up to eighth in the Premier League.

Mina helps Everton shake off Spurs embarrassment

With Sunday's heavy defeat by Spurs still fresh in the memory, Everton were determined to produce a blistering start at Turf Moor.

Boss Marco Silva left the talismanic Richarlison on the bench while Mina returned to the starting line-up after missing the defeat by Tottenham.

And the Colombia international, who cost just over £27m this summer, rewarded his manger's faith with an excellent performance.

After giving the visitors the lead in the second minute, Mina was also excellent at thwarting Burnley's fightback at the other end once Gibson's goal had


given them a foothold in the game.

The 24-year-old won more duels than any other Everton player (24), as well as winning the most aerial duels for his side.

His strength and pace mean he is a powerful defensive presence, but he also had the most touches of the ball (79), indicating his ability to play out of defence.

After the disappointment of missing out on selection against Spurs, his performance at Burnley was a statement Silva will find hard to ignore.

Slow start costs the Clarets

Burnley are in big trouble, and they found themselves three goals behind before they even registered a shot at Jordan Pickford's goal.

Sean Dyche opted to start Sam Vokes for the first time since November, in anticipation of a physical battle against Everton's three towering centre-backs.

But theirproblems are at the other end and the hosts struggled to contain Everton's speed and guile through the middle.

Burnley have now conceded 41 goals after 19 games this season - two more than they did in the entire 2017-18 campaign.

Bernard, Sigurdsson and Walcott pulled the strings as Everton enjoyed large spells of possession, having killed the game as a contest in the first quarter.

Gibson, who was making his Premier League debut for the Clarets following his summer move from Middlesbrough, handed his side a lifeline with a scrambled goal.

And Tarkowski could have reduced the arrears to just one goal, but his side-footed effort from close range sailed over the bar.

Digne's second ended the last of Burnley's resistance after 26 minutes of the second half, and Dyche's side will


need to produce more at either end to arrest their current decline.

Man of the match - Yerry Mina (Everton)

Everton defender Yerry Mina was brilliant at both ends as he returned to the starting line-up after being left out of the defeat by Tottenham on Sunday

Burnley all at sea in defence - the stats

Burnley have already conceded 41 goals in the Premier League this season after 19 games, two more than they shipped in the whole of last season (39).

Everton have scored five goals in an away Premier League game for only the third time ever and the first time since a 5-2 win at Sheffield Wednesday in April 1996.

At one minute and 39 seconds, Yerry Mina's goal for Everton was the quickest Premier League goal on Boxing Daysince 2014 when both Harry Kane and Adam Johnson both scored within the first minute.

Mina's opener is the quickest Premier League goal by an Everton player since Tom Davies scored against Leicester after 30 seconds in April 2017.

Five of the eight goals scored by Everton's Lucas Digne in Europe's big five leagues have come from outside the box, including each of his three for the Toffees.

Burnley goalkeeper Joe Hart has conceded 41 goals in 19 games in the Premier League this season; only in 2009-10 (42 in 36 games) did he ship more in a single campaign in the competition.

Gylfi Sigurdsson has scored 12 Premier League goals for Everton since the start of last season, more than any other player.

Richarlison has netted nine goals in 17 Premier League


appearances this season with Everton, four more than he scored with Watford last season (five in 38 appearances).

'They deserved to win' - what they said

Burnley boss Sean Dyche told BBC Match of the Day: "They started much brighter, much sharper with more energy. They were the better side and deserved to win.

"The last 10 minutes of the half we deserved to get back in it and the game settled. We got a bit more on the front foot, scored a goal and all of sudden the next goal is vital.

"The chance for Tarkowski is massive. If we put that in, after what happened to Everton against Tottenham the other day, then it may change the whole event. We then started the second half the brighter and you neverNews

Some 3,000 delegates from the United States and Canada convened here today for the opening session of the four-day convention of the National Committee for Labor Israel. This year’s “Twin Jubilees” convention will mark the 50th anniversaries of the kibbutz movement and of Kupat Holim, the Histadrut health program in Israel.

In a cabled message to the convention, Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion hailed the friendship of the American labor movement which “brought strength and encouragement not only to Histadrut but to the development of our country as a whole.” In another message, Israeli Finance Minister Levi Eshkol described the National Committee as a “vital instrument for forging strong links of solidarity” between Israel and the United States.State Register

State Register of Historic Places

Many states maintain official lists of inventories or registers of historic and cultural resources. As with the National Register of Historic Places, these registers provide an important planning tool. Along with celebrating a state's history, they identify properties for protection against potentially harmful governmental acts and for special funding and other incentives. In California, for instance, listing or eligibility for listing in the California Register of Historic Places serves as one of the bases for review under the California Environmental Quality Act, and for identification of properties eligible for state tax incentives.

Criteria for Listing Historic Properties

As with the National Register of Historic Places, state historic registers generally include a wide range of properties such as historic districts, sites, buildings, structures, and other objects


reliable method of identifying historic and cultural properties within the state. Finally, The National Park Service's National Register Bulletin entitled Guidelines for Local Surveys is also instructive.

Some states make their survey results publicly available, thereby providing greater access to invaluable information and ensuring greater protection for its historic resources. For example, the Illinois Preservation Services Division has created the Historic and Architectural Resources Geographic Information System (HARGIS), providing public access to data, scanned photographs and background documentation for almost 78,000 buildings, structures, objects, sites, and districts in the state. New data is to be added continually. According to the state office:

The new database includes not only the survey data about properties and historic districts, it also puts the location of those properties on a map. And it identifiesfor listing in the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior. The Trust shall adopt regulations specifying procedures and criteria of eligibility for inclusion of properties in the Maryland Register of Historic Properties. (c) Determinations of eligibility made by the Director may be appealed to the Governor's Consulting Committee on the National Register of Historic Places whose determination shall be final. (d) Any information from the Inventory or Register relating to the location and character of a historic property shall be confidential if the Director determines that disclosure will create a substantial risk of harm, theft, or destruction to the property or the area or place where the property is located.

Keep in mind that states incorporating National Register listings into their own

State-owned structures in freeway rights-of-way shall be inventoried before approval of any undertaking which would alter their original or significant features or fabric, or transfer, relocate or demolish those structures. (c) The State Historic Preservation Officer, with the advice of the State Historical Resources Commission, shall establish standards, after consultation with agencies to be affected, for the submittal of inventories and development of policies for the review of historical resources identified pursuant to this section. These review procedures shall permit the State Historic Preservation Officer to determine which historical resources identified in inventories meet NationalRegister of Historic Places and state historical landmark criteria and shall be placed in the master list of historical resources. (d) The State Historic Preservation Officer shall maintain a master list comprised of all inventoried structures submitted and determined significant pursuant to this section and all state-owned historical resources currently listed in the National Register of Historic Places or registered as a state historical landmark under state agency jurisdiction. The State Historic Preservation Officer shall inform agencies with historical resources on the master list of current sources of funding for preservation activities, including rehabilitation and restoration.

of individuals with particular expertise in architecture and archeology, usually established as a matter of state law.

The State of Maryland, for example, charges the Maryland Historical Trust with maintaining the Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties. Listings are made by the Director of the Trust with appeal to the Governor's Consulting Committee on the National Register of Historic Places (Md. Code § 83B-5-615(c)).

New Mexico utilizes the commission approach. Pursuant to state law, a Cultural Properties Review Committee is established and charged with implementing and maintaining the states historic register. Committee members must include:

The State Historian at the State Records Center and Archives

One person professionally recognized in the discipline of architectural history

One person professionally recognized in the discipline of history

One person professionally recognized in the discipline of architecture

One person professionallyrecognized in the discipline of prehistoric archaeology

One person professionally recognized in the discipline of historic archaeology

One additional person who is professionally recognized in history, architectural history or architecture, or archaeology. a special committee appointed by the governor is charged with identifying cultural properties within the state

One person who is a member of a New Mexico Indian nation, tribe or pueblo; and

One person who is a resident of New Mexico and represents the general public.

Other than the state historian, members of the Committee are appointed by the Governor (See N. Mex. Stat. § 18-6-4 and 5). Similarly, in Arizona, a nine-member Historic Sites Review Committee reviews nominations for listing in the National and Arizona Registers of Historic Places.

Many states now use a review board, largely in response to the


New York City. Respondent, the New York City *33 Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications (DOITT), regulates pay telephone operations on city streets. On August 11, 1999, the City approved petitioner's payphone franchise, subject to certain conditions, including the execution and delivery of a Franchise Agreement.
On January 13, 2000, DOITT notified petitioner that, because it did not submit executed copies of the Franchise Agreement and other required closing documents, it "failed to meet an essential condition of [city] approval, and the [City] can therefore be deemed to have determined not to approve a franchise for Best." The letter went on to state that Best had 60 days to enter into an agreement to sell its payphones to an entity that had been awarded a public pay telephone franchiseby the City, or to remove its public pay telephones from the City's property, or to submit executed copies of the Franchise Agreement and all required closing documents. If petitioner failed within 60 days to pursue one of those courses, the letter continued, its phones would be subject to removal from city property and Best would be considered for all purposes a nonholder of a city franchise.
Best took none of the three options within the 60-day period. Thus, in early May 2000, the City issued notices of violation for illegal maintenance of such phones and began removing petitioner's phones from city property. On May 10, 2000, petitioner executed and delivered the Franchise Agreement to DOITT. On June 19, 2000, the City notified petitioner that it was unlawfully maintaining

Here's a look at the full play.


Former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin gave the go-ahead for Operation Bramble Bush, a military mission to assassinate Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, and instructed the Israel Defense Force to advance preparations preceding the mission, according to secret protocols of the operation that are currently being revealed.

An investigation by the television series "Uvda", or "Fact", which will air on Channel 2 on Monday, reveals the internal debates that took place between the Israeli military and government on the matter. Rabin's military secretary, Brigadier General Azriel Nevo, wrote in the debate that took place in October 1992 with the prime minister and defense minister that Rabin concluded that he "approves of the target."

"This is an operation that must be undergone while the likelihood of success is very high, and as sucha military capability must be built in the best possible way, and preparations must continue," wrote Nevo. Rabin is quoted later on in the document as saying that Saddam Hussein is "a meaningful target concerning Israel's internal security. I do not see anyone like him in the Arab world."

The report that will be aired on Monday also lays out the differences of opinion among senior officials of the Israel Defense Forces concerning the operation – between the former IDF Chief of Staff Ehud Barak, the former head of Military Intelligence Uri Sagi and other officers who were recruited from the original plan. In one of the protocols it was even written that "there is a contradiction between the demands of the commander in chief to be ready on


October 1 and the position of the Military Intelligence chief regarding the operation."

The Israel Defense Forces' plans to assassinate Hussein were interrupted 20 years ago, on the morning of November 5, 1992. The concluding military exercise of the elite commando unit Sayeret Matkal, which was performed before senior IDF officials, among them then Chief of Staff Ehud Barak, ended with a tragedy: two Tamuz anti-tank missiles were accidently fired toward a group of Sayeret Matkal soldiers who were playing the role of Saddam Hussein's entourage. Five soldiers were killed in the incident: Aryeh Cohen, Shimri Shafran, Elad Shilo, Sharon Tamir and Aran Weichselbaum. Six other soldiers were seriously wounded.

Barbara A. Sestak, former dean of Portland State University’s College of the Arts, received a happy surprise on Oct. 4: a $50,000 endowed scholarship for architecture students created in her honor.

The new Barbara A. Sestak Endowed Scholarship will be awarded to outstanding architecture students, including those with diverse backgrounds and experiences. Howard S. Wright, a Balfour Beatty company, pledged $25,000 and the Maybelle Clark Macdonald Fund will match that amount with $25,000 to create the first named scholarship endowment in the School of Architecture.

“I was completely surprised and felt very honored,” said Sestak. “This scholarship will be of great value to our students in supporting them through their professional degree program.”

Sestak, a trained architect and PSU architecture faculty member for more


than 30 years, (shown at left with Howard S. Wright president and vice president Jim Sather and Dan Pelissier) led the transformation of PSU’s School of Fine and Performing Arts into the College of the Arts and created new professional programs in art, film and architecture. Her work led to national accreditation this year of PSU’s master of architecture degree. Sestak served as interim dean for one year and dean for six years before stepping down at the end of the 2012-13 academic year to return to the School of Architecture faculty.

“The impact Barbara has had on the University and the city will be known for years,” said Howard S. Wright Vice President Dan Pelissier. “We have worked with her over time and we have been inspired byher vision. She didn’t just focus on the task at hand. She focused on the big picture.”

Robert Bucker, current dean of the College of the Arts, said “We are especially grateful to the company for its commitment to our students.”

PSU enrolls and graduates more students than any other university in Oregon. Yet state funding provides less than 12 percent of its budget, increasing the burden on tuition and private gifts. Scholarships are a top fund-raising priority at PSU. In fiscal year 2013, 26 percent of gifts to the university were for scholarships and student aid, including a gift of $1.5 million—the largest gift for scholarships in PSU history.

A 72-year-old woman with Alzheimer's may be forced to give up her dog or lose her home because the condo board has refused to recognize the dog as a service animal.

Her family has filed a complaint with the Manitoba Human Rights Commission, but it won't be resolved before she faces eviction from the no-pets building on Oct. 31.

Donna Davidson was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease five years ago. Three years ago, she left her home in Charleswood to go for a walk and couldn't find her way back. That's when her son Murray Davidson did some research and decided to get her a service dog

"I never thought about looking at your dog as being your guardian angel kind of thing, to get me back [home]," said Davidson.

Murray got the dog from a breeder in Alberta and trained the now three-year-old Sheltie himself.

"This animal takes my mother to her husband in his care home and takes her back home. And I know and I can feel safe that she's going to get there and she's going to get home again," said Murray.

In February of this year, Murray moved his mother into a condo on Tuxedo Avenue close to his father's personal care home so she could visit him


anytime she wanted. The condo doesn't allow pets, but Murray didn't think the dog would be an issue because it is a service animal.

"This is a service animal...for a medical condition. Pet laws, unfortunately for this building, do not apply in this case," he said.

The condo board said the Davidsons have not provided adequate proof that Kaos is in fact a trained service dog. Donna's son, Murray Davidson (right), says he worries about what would happen to his mother if she was forced to give up her dog. (Holly Caruk/CBC)

"The service dog has to have been trained. Training is critically important. We've asked on a number of occasions if the owner could provide us with a description of the training that has taken place, and he hasn't donehave pushed anti-TPP messages in their campaigning, stoking voters' ire about the pact," Wallach said. "The political costs of an unpopular 'yes' vote for the TPP would increase with every passing week in 2016."

Meanwhile, a poll released (pdf) Wednesday by the Coalition for Better Trade shows that a clear majority of voters who can offer an opinion about the proposed TPP say they oppose the deal.

"Voters are opposed to TPP, and the Administration and Congress should listen to what they have to say," said Khristyn Brimmeier, communications director for the group, which is made up of labor, environmental, and public health advocacy organizations. "Rather than continue to push for a deal based on 25 years of failed policy, the Administration and Congress should heed the public demand for

Rowhani risks coup if nuclear deal falls apart in final haggle

President Rowhani has faced constant efforts to undermine him since he took officeAtta Kenare/Getty

Published at 12:01AM, November 28 2013

Iranian hardliners discussed staging a coup to overthrow President Rowhani if his negotiating team returned from nuclear talks with world powers in Geneva without a satisfactory deal.

In a series of meetings before talks in Switzerland last weekend, senior politicians and security officials plotted to declare a state of emergency if Mr Rowhani’s team crossed one of the “red lines” set for them before the meeting.

That could have paved the way for the President to be impeached and thrown out of office.

One of the policy concerns about violent conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Mali, Pakistan, Russia’s North Caucasus region, Somalia, and the ongoing war in Syria has been that these struggles could attract and breed foreign fighters. Yet we know relatively little about the ways in which foreign fighters, once they arrive, influence the struggles they join. I argue, in my article in the spring 2014 issue of International Security, that foreign fighters may actually weaken the rebel movements they come to support.

Foreign fighters, or transnational insurgents, are fighters without affiliation to a formal army who voluntarily join the


along by the outsiders.

In Chechnya, as Cerwyn Moore and Paul Tumelty have shown, the first foreign fighters, mainly from the Middle East, entered in January 1995, a couple of months into the 1994 to 1996 war against the federal government in Moscow. By 1996, foreign fighters had set up training camps in the republic’s mountainous eastern part. They also came with new ideas of what the struggle was about and how it should be fought. Although the change cannot be attributed exclusively to the foreign fighters, they certainly contributed to transforming a nationalist struggle for Chechen independence into one dominated by the goal of establishing an Islamic emirate in the Caucasus. The same goes for tactics. The responsibility for the turn to radical tactics involving civilian targets, suchas suicide terrorism, lies not only with the foreign fighters, but the timing suggests the foreign fighters played a central role.

However, these new ideas about goals and tactics got only a lukewarm reception from the local population. Some locals even claimed that the views imposed on them by the outsiders contradicted their local traditions and values just as much as the views imposed on them by the Russians. Some local resistance leaders tried to make the case that these ideas were not wholly in contradiction with local ideas about what the struggle was about and how it should be fought, but other resistance leaders outright rejected them. That is, even though the foreign fighters who arrived in Chechnya may have strengthened the local resistance movement’s coercive force in


their fight against Moscow, they ultimately helped weaken the movement. The foreign fighters contributed to a formal split of the original movement into an Islamist and a nationalist branch, as well as outright defection to the Russian side under Akhmad Kadyrov, the father of the republic’s present pro-Russian president, Ramzan Kadyrov.

Similar dynamics seem to be at work in Syria. News reports suggest that not only has the influx of jihadists led to outright clashes between foreign and local groups, but the influence of the jihadists, some of whom have tried to impose strict Islamic codes, have alienated the local residents. A fuller understanding of how the foreign fighters have shaped the Syrian struggle requires detailed analysis of how local resistance leaders have (or have not) tried to “localize”#AgLife by Wyoming Community Bank

Pink Season is the second album released by Pink Guy, a comedy character created by artist Joji (George Miller). It consists of 35 rap, ukulele and electric tracks, all lyricised in the name of comedy, lasting only 90 minutes, but taking years to be produced. It's an independently released album, not attached to any record label, and the album is promoted by Joji's soundcloud, his second YouTube channel TooDamnFilthy, and is also listed on Spotify.

The album was released to Soundcloud, YouTube, Spotify and Facebook on the 4th of January 2017, and in that week, raised to Viral charts in 17 countries on Spotify, occupied 18 of the 50 viral slots on the UK Viral 50, was placed 76th on the Billboard 200, and accumulated multi-millions of hits onYouTube. The album was largely praised by Pink Guy's fanbase, and was given a positive review by YouTube music reviewer Anthony Fantano.

On the 18th of January 2017, Pink Season's song STFU edged out Ed Sheeran and many other mainstream artists to become #1 on Spotify's Global Viral 50, a huge achievement for an independently released album. Nine other albums also occupied places on the chart. It was hailed to be one of the best performing independently released albums in January 2017, and the fans of Pink Guy were ecstatic.

Pink Season's run continued, climbing from 76 to 70 on the Billboard 200 and 30 on the Hot 100 for the week of 28th January 2017. Fans were excited for how far up this album would be able to go.


However, disaster struck short after.

Reports began coming in to /r/FilthyFrank regarding the disappearance of the album from Spotify on the 19th January 2017. Despite still being on people's playlists and the charts (then), the album was censored, removed from all of Spotify's search results, meaning fans could no longer find it when they searched, driving fans away from listening to it on Spotify. As a result of this, hits fell, and all of Pink Season disappeared from the Viral Charts. The album fell from #70 to #194 on the Billboard 200.

Fans are outraged at this censorship. Like Youtube has done for some of his work, Spotify has removed George Miller's work from their search results, driving fans away from his work, as they are unable to find whatfrom the 1-yard line.

It was established in 1979.

In 2005 the chairperson of the BISE of Dhaka, Prof. Shaheda Obaed, stated that the managing committee setup is not legal under BISE rules and should be abolished. The BISE also stated that no teachers may be fired without BISE approval; there was controversy after the principal of MHM fired two popular teachers.

Two-time FE race winner Evans was an erstwhile leader of the previous race in Santiago before dropping to fourth on the road - though he eventually claimed a podium when Mercedes driver Nyck de Vries received a penalty.

After passing polesitter Andre Lotterer into Turn 1, Evans had no such pace decline in the Mexican capital.

He led by up to seven seconds, although backed off to consolidate the win over the DS Techeetah of Antonio Felix da Costa by 4.271s, in what was heralded as one of the most dominant displays ever in FE.

Barclay said theThe Ontario Sports Hall of Fame inducted six new members — the Class of 2016 — who will be honoured Oct. 17 at the Sheraton Centre.

Here’s a look at the latest inductees:

Sarah Burke, Freestyle Skiing

The Midland, Ont., native, single-handedly put freestyle skiing on the map for women, successfully lobbying ESPN in 2004 to include a women’s division in the Winter X Games. Burke took centre stage just as the media opened up to her sport, winning gold in the super pipe competition five times. ESPN and the ESPY Awards named her female skier of the year and best female action sports athlete respectively, making her an international celebrity and champion for her sport. Burke’s life ended all too soon at 29, when she succumbed to injuries suffered in


a January, 2012 training accident.

Ron Ellis, Hockey

The 70-year-old, Lindsay, Ont., native was a member of the Memorial Cup winning Toronto Marlboros in 1964, before moving on to an 11-year career with the Maple Leafs. With his signature dash down the right wing, ending with a booming slap shot on goal, Ellis also played in the Canada-Russia Summit Series, and finished his NHL career as one of 104 players to start and end their careers with the same team.

Tony Fernandez, Baseball

The 53-year-old is a member of the Blue Jays Level of Excellence, and considered one of the best shortstops to play for the franchise. A native of baseball’s shortstop factory in San Pedro de Macoris, Dominican Republic, Fernandez won four consecutive American League Gold Gloves (1986-89), while batting .288for his career. He was a member of the 1993 World Series winning Jays team.

Eric Lindros, Hockey

The 43-year-old is still regarded as the pre-eminent power forward off all time even though his playing days ended prematurely in 2007 due to head trauma. Dubbed “The Next One,” he was a star with Oshawa in the OHL, winning a Memorial Cup in 1990. He refused to report to Quebec Nordiques who drafted him first overall in 1991. He was traded to Philadelphia, beginning a 13-year NHL career which saw him win a Hart Trophy and Lester B. Pearson Trophy for the 1994-95 season.

Leo Rautins, Basketball

The Toronto native played for St. Michael’s College and at 16, became the youngest player ever to earn a spot with the Canadian national team. Rautins,


now 55, played with the University of Minnesota and Syracuse University before becoming the first Canadian-born player to go in the first round of the NBA draft (Philadelphia). Rautins ended his career in 1993, but took up broadcasting and coaching, and is now a key member of the Raptors TV broadcast team.

Chris Schultz, Football

The 55-year-old Burlington, Ont., native was a natural offensive lineman, possessing a 6-foot-7 frame that attracted the Dallas Cowboys, who drafted him in the seventh round in 1983. A graduate of Aldershot High School, Schultz settled into the CFL with the Argos, and became one of the one of the most dominating linemen in the league, with all-star berths in 1987-88. He was selected to the Argos all-time team inexamine beliefs that often defy rationality. Without malice, Dare to Think for Yourself challenges readers to analyze why they believe what they believe. According to one well-known author in the “Foreword” of the book, Betty Brogaard writes “in an easy, unpretentious style, almost conversing with the reader.”

About the Author:

Born in the Bible Belt of the American South, Betty Brogaard, even as a child, had questions regarding God and the Bible, which adults in her life couldn’t answer. At age 20, she allowed herself to be snagged by a male-dominated cultic religion. They seemed to have all the answers. There, she met and married a young man who became a minister in the cult. Primarily because of growing doubts about the organization’s teachings and secondarily because of the decadent


lifestyle of some in leadership, the couple finally left amidst threats of eternal judgment and punishment. Betty continued to study various religions and eventually joined, with her husband, an orthodox church. She remained a member there for fifteen years (two years less than she had been in the cult) when she could no longer convince herself that religion holds the truth about things that matter. Years of continuous research have taken Betty from faith as a dedicated Christian to reason and a satisfying but nonreligious way of life. She, an avowed atheist (and now a Bright), and her husband, a staunch Christian, have been married for almost 40 years.to reach the young and scientifically inclined minds and provide them a glimpse of the available treasure trove assembled over centuries by the human explorers.

authorities obtained buccal swabs from each, Stelly and White
were released.
   A search warrant was then obtained for Stelly’s apartment

Stelly was wearing during the relevant time period based on
time-stamped photographs discovered on Stelly’s social media
profile. The search of the PT Cruiser showed it had damage
to the wheel wells on the driver’s side. Evidence adduced at

ZTE cell phone as the device to be searched. The warrant was

   The officer who swore the affidavit testified at the sup-
pression hearing. He noticed, after returning the warrant, that
he had “made an error when listing the cell phone itself in
the search warrant and the affidavit as far as property being
searched.” According to the officer, his narrative descrip-
tion correctly referenced the LG cell phone found in the

that cell phone, but when identifying the electronic device

Lately Amsterdam has introduced a series of measures to fight the detrimental effects of mass tourism, starting with a crackdown on Airbnb rentals that do not adhere to the rules around how many days a unit can be let each year. It also placed a moratorium on new hotels, increased the tax on tourists’ rooms and – just last month – banned any more shops targeting tourists in the historic centre.

To a certain extent, the problem is of the city’s own making. During the global financial crisis of 2008, Amsterdam decided to heavily invest

Before I clicked on the story, my first thought went back to the Apollo 15
"Postal Covers Incident". Each of the three crew members received $7K from a
stamp dealer to bring stamp collector memorabilia to the lunar surface and
then return them to be sold by the dealer. No criminal charges were filed, but
I wonder if the incident might be more properly considered the "first
allegation of a crime in space". From the the Wikipedia article: "There was a

The Democratic candidate for Georgia’s 6th Congressional District was first thrust into the national spotlight in 2012, when her black 17-year-old son, Jordan Davis, was shot dead at a Florida gas station by a white man complaining about loud music. McBath’s tragic loss became the fuel for years of advocacy for gun safety. And after the Parkland, Florida, school shooting in February, she set her sights on Congress.

Her run is not only part of the wave of a record number of women running for office this year, but it’s also a test as to whether a candidate running primarily on gun control can win in a state with gun-friendly laws in the heart of the Deep South,


to 21.

Two-thirds of Americans support stricter gun control measures ― including about half of Republicans, according to a CNN poll from earlier this year. There is high support, even among gun owners, for McBath’s policies, including limiting access for people with mental illnesses. Even in Georgia, about 90 percent of likely Democratic voters and nearly half (47 percent) of likely Republican voters support stricter gun laws, according to an April poll by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

McBath also has the benefit of running in a district that, while majority Republican, tends to lean more moderate, with a highly educated and relatively affluent population. The suburban district was previously represented by Republican leader Newt Gingrich, and Tom Price won his 2016 re-election there by double digits. But in the 2016 presidentialLeading "no" campaigners, including Turnbull government MPs, say they fear it will become illegal to oppose same-sex marriage in word or even thought, if gay marriage is legalised.

The extraordinary claims, made at the campaign launch for the Coalition for Marriage on Saturday night, went as far as expressing fear that thought crime would be punished by law.

Matthew Canavan, a member of Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull's cabinet until he resigned over his dual citizenship, told the 1500-strong Sydney audience: "The 'yes' side want to make it illegal to just express a different view about marriage, that is their agenda."

On the sidelines, he told Fairfax Media he feared "a strong push to effectively eradicate the view that marriage should be between a man and a woman, to make it illegal".

About the District

The Boulder Creek Volunteer Fire Department was formed in 1892 and the Boulder Creek Fire Protection District established in 1923. The District is guided by a five-person Board of Directors who have staggered four-year terms. The District covers 21 square miles of mountainous terrain and serves approximately 15,000 citizens. Many people who live in Boulder Creek and Brookdale don’t realize they are protected by a volunteer fire agency. The District currently has 35 dedicated volunteers who provide the same level of service as a paid fire department. These firefighters come from all walks of life and responded to over 800 calls for emergency service last year. They train 3-4 hours weekly, 48 weeks out of the year, and participated in additional outside training.

7 dead in shooting in Mexican city of Playa del Carmen

Seven men have been killed in a shooting attack at a bar in Mexico’s Caribbean coasl city of Playa del Carmen, authorities said Monday.

State and local police said the attack occurred late Sunday
at the “Las Virginias” bar in a low-income section relatively far
from the beachside tourist resort zone. Six men were found shot to death in the
bar, and another died at a local hospital.

One man was wounded but survived the attack. He told police
he was drinking beer with friends when gunshots broke out. The attackers have
not yet been identified.

Playa del Carmen is located on the coast facing the island
of Cozumel, Mexico’s leading cruise ship destination. Once a quiet fishing and
ferry town, Playa del Carmen has grown exponentially inthe last two decades,
with lower-income neighborhoods springing up on the inland side of the coastal
highway.

The resort is midway between Cancun, to the north, and
Tulum, to the south, in the coastal state of Quintana Roo, which has seen
homicides more than double in the last year, with 688 killings in the first 11
months of 2018, compared to 322 in the same period of 2017. At that rate,
Quintana Roo could end 2018 with a homicide rate of about 50 per 100,000, on a
par with El Salvador.

The Caribbean coast — especially Cancun and the area south
known as the “Riviera Maya” — had long been largely spared the drug
violence affecting other areas, but that no longer appears to be the case.
Local sources report that the feared Jalisco cartel has moved into the region,
disputing


control with local gangs.

In September, two Mexican marines were found stabbed to
death in Cancun. In a single day in August, police found eight bodies strewn on
the streets of Cancun.

In January 2017, gunmen attacked the state prosecutors’
office in Cancun, killing four people. A day before that, a shooting at a music
festival in Playa del Carmen left three foreigners and two Mexicans dead.

The U.S. Embassy in Mexico issued a brief travel warning for
Playa del Carmen in March. A February 2018 blast on a ferry apparently caused
by an explosive device injured 26 people, including several American citizens.

That has sparked fears that the Caribbean resorts could come
to resemble the faded Pacific coast resort of Acapulco. The bloody violence in
Acapulco that flared in 2006 eventually earned it a level-four “do not
travel” warning fromthe U.S. Department of State.

Still, violence in Playa del Carmen is still far from
Acapulco levels. In 2017, Acapulco had a homicide rate of 103 per 100,000
inhabitants, one of the highest in Mexico and the world.

In the meantime, global warming has heated the oceans by the
equivalent of one atomic bomb explosion per second for the past 150 years,
according to analysis of new research.

More than 90% of the heat trapped by humanity’s greenhouse gas emissions has been absorbed by the seas, with just a few per cent heating the air, land and ice caps respectively. The vast amount of energy being added to the oceans drives sea-level rise and enables hurricanes and typhoons to become more intense.

Much of the heat has been stored in the ocean depths but

Baseball's Ph.D.s

The local press went wild for the first intercollegiate baseball game--and the chess match that followed.

By Roger M. Williams '56

Athletically speaking, Amherst is a baseball school. The college has of course fielded teams in football, basketball and numerous other sports for much of its history. But baseball was the first major sport to be played on an intercollegiate level, and it has produced the greatest successes—especially against Williams.

Amherst baseball teams have won well over half their games; for the past 44 years, under Coach Bill Thurston, their record has been (as of press time) a stunning 806 victories and 467 defeats. Thurston’s teams have dominated the Little Three, and against Williams, where the record in football has been—shall we say?—spotty, they have won some 70 percent ofme years ago, ‘At Amherst you get a B.A. in liberal arts and a Ph.D. in baseball.’”

All of that comes into focus for two reasons: this has been Thurston’s final season as coach, and 2009 marks the 150th anniversary of the very first intercollegiate baseball game, between Amherst and Williams.

The ground lay smooth....The weather was glorious. Either Party might have taken the omen of Austerlitz from the magnificent rising of the sun that day. It rose for Amherst.

Thus wrote an unnamed but imaginative observer of the momentous meeting of Friday, July 1, 1859. The sunrise metaphor alluded to the final, now-startling score: Fairest College—73; Pretenders—32.

Amherst had challenged Williams to a game of baseball, and the parent institution (President Zephaniah Swift Moore’s eastward decampment and all that) quickly accepted.


Williams suggested a chess match for the following day—also accepted. The respective student bodies selected teams of 13 baseball players and three chess players, and dispatched them to neutral Pittsfield, Mass. Then as it would now, baseball claimed the limelight. An “Extra” edition of the independently published Amherst Express, reporting on the twin events of “Muscle and Mind!!,” gave far more space to the muscle than the mind.

The original square-shaped field

By 1859, baseball in very rudimentary form was about a quarter-century old. The first official uniforms had appeared only 13 years earlier. Two sets of rules vied for acceptance: “Massachusetts” (aka “Boston”) and “New York.” Although the latter version corresponded more closely to today’s game, the Massachusetts version was better established, so the pioneering collegians brought that toin the contest—one supplied by each side—survive to this day, enshrined under glass in the Amherst archives. Each measures about six inches around, is covered in leather and has stitches, much like the balls used today. But one is light in color, the other—presumably the Williams contribution—ominously dark.

Some say that Amherst-Williams was not the first intercollegiate game. An article in a 2002 issue of the Yale Alumni Magazine asserts that “the honor should go to Yale and Wesleyan” and their encounter six years later. Predictably, the Yale authority cites a Yale source. But the National Collegiate Baseball Hall of Fame recognizes the Amherst-Williams rivalry as “the oldest in college baseball.”

The game itself? Given the rule limiting only the winner’s runs, it ground on for 26 innings and three
