winner with 91 seats of the 99 contested. Leading party members stood in the forefront among the professional politicians who spoke out on behalf of protesters in confrontations with police throughout the city.

The younger smaller Civic Party, never a force at the district level, won 32 of the 36 seats contested. The services of its lawyer members were much in demand as protesters were being arrested and charged, first in the hundreds and then by the thousand. To date, the police have announced over 7,000 arrests.

But most surprising of all were the novices, first-time candidates, mostly young, activists and student leaders both present and others from the Occupy era. All were drawn to the political arena by the protest movement. Just over a hundred ultimately joined the raceand 81 emerged victorious. It was the sort of election where voters were inclined to reward anyone, known or unknown, who could claim pro-democracy anti-establishment credentials.

For contrast, consider the plight of the pro-Beijing Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong. With over 36,000 members, the DAB reflects the discipline and mass-based work style of its Chinese Communist Party mentor. But the DAB saw the number of its District Council seats reduced from 119 to 21. The pro-Beijing Federation of Trade Unions with its tens of thousands of affiliated members contested 62 seats but won only five.

Victorious democrats, new agendas

Hong Kong’s protest movement is moving from the streets to elected assemblies where it should have been all along, even if the powers that be have not


its aged banyan trees as well, all in the name of progress. But a minimalist musical fountain located in the shadow of the elevated commuter train running above the district?

Candidates used the fountain as a favourite topic in their campaigns, along with its parent scheme. In 2013, the government had launched an amenities program allocating HK$ 100 million per council toward that end. Rather than representatives to meet with councillors in person, the Home Affairs Bureau sent a letter. It explained that construction had already begun and would not be halted. Details of the contracts were commercial secrets and would not be made public

Another costly budget item is the one million dollars per council per year, on average, earmarked for patriotic celebrations. These take place on Hong Kong’sread out a statement that said Hong Kong is becoming a “police state.”

Far across town in the New Territories district of Sai Kung, its council will also be doing some police investigations. This district was home to the university student who fell to his death in uncertain circumstances while police were conducting a clearance operation nearby. It was his death, on November 8, that sparked the violent response on college campuses throughout the city in November.

Also in the New Territories, the Kwai Tsing District Council chose two Democratic Party members as its chairman and vice-chair. Members then launched into an impromptu rendition of the new protest anthem “Glory to Hong Kong.” A handful of pro-establishment councillors who had survived the electoral tsunami protested in vain. The song is


suspect in loyalist’s eyes because it allegedly conveys separatist pro-independence sentiments and therefore challenges Hong Kong’s status as an integral part of China. This episode earned a stern editorial rebuke form the China Daily. It called for an official “disciplinary investigation into this deplorable episode.”

Further north in Yuen Long, councillors chose a Democratic Party chair and another democrat vice-chair. They then discussed one of the summer’s most notorious incidents. It had occurred on the night of July 21 when police allegedly stood by while a band of New Territories thugs attacked passengers on a commuter train that remained stopped in the station with its doors open while the assault continued.

The police were invited to attend the meeting but sent a letter instead. They had finally managed to apprehendunder Chinese rule. The surge of public anger then was directed against the government’s 2003 attempt to force passage of national security legislation.

But political memories are short and there was no political emergency four years later when the next District Councils election rolled around. Democrats reverted to their early 2000s undisciplined ways and have suffered one setback after another from 2007 until last year.

Pro-establishment politicians are mindful of this history. But so are democrats, who are now saying they aim not to let it happen again. For them, it is not just the 2003-07 sequence, but the larger factional disarray that had already begun then and has only gone from bad to worse. The 2019 protests shocked everyone out of their lethargy including activists, professional politicians, and the


Well, this isn't too surprising. Earlier this week, Mac Miller covered Complex's "Man of Next Year" week and one of the features was a video of Mac driving around in his new Fisker along with Marc Ecko. The two got to talking about one of his most well-known songs, "Donald Trump," which sparked conversation about the real Mr. Trump:

"I think he's a dick," Mac says in the video.

"I fucking hate Donald Trump," Ecko adds.

"When he started running for president I was like, 'Oh, fuck—this is horrible, I have a fucking song with this dude's name and now he's being such a douchebag.'" Mac says.

Ultrasonography is known as one of imaging examination methods that allow non-invasive examination of the state of the interior of a living body. In ultrasonography, an ultrasound probe that can transmit and receive ultrasound is used. Ultrasound transmitted from the ultrasound probe to the subject (living body) travels through the interior of the living body and is reflected at a tissue interface. Then, the reflected ultrasound is received by the ultrasound probe. Based on the time taken for the reflected ultrasound to return to the ultrasound probe, the distance is calculated, thereby imaging the state of the interior.
Further, photoacoustic imaging, which images the interior of a living body using the photoacoustic effect, is known. In photoacoustic imaging, in general, pulsed laser light, for example, is applied to thethe left eye and the right eye and display a left-eye image and a right-eye image together, and the barrier unit may divide the left-eye image and the right-eye image realized by the display unit respectively toward the left-eye direction and the right-eye direction of the viewer. A barrier unit provided with transparent electrodes and a liquid crystal layer may optically form a light blocking unit and a light transmitting unit.
A conventional display unit may divide one frame into first and second periods, and may display an image that is combined in an order of the left eye and the right eye along a horizontal direction of the screen during the first period, and display an image that is combined in an order of the right eye and

Get Ready, Family Camp!

Little did my husband know when he walked in from work tonight that his heart would stop momentarily. A few words from me, and his eyes opened as wide as saucers, "the vein" popped out of the side of his head, and his mouth formed into a massive oval. I told him that we were going to Family Camp with our church in May. Once he discovered that tigers do not live in Ohio, our son, Eli, has been begging to go camping. But, my husband equates camping with having his eyes stabbed with hot pokers and has managed to redirect Eli's attentions to "more appropriate" (i. e., desirableand he's been left to fend for himself with the two Traber animals. And, that did not involve bugs, tents, or latrines.

Here's just one more reason why I love my husband--he is a good sport. He will go to Family Camp in May, and he won't complain. He will participate in each and every activity that Eli wants to. He'll pound a few hot dogs under the stars, roast a handful of marshmallows, and sing songs 'round the campfire. He'll swat at the swarms of mosquitoes that Ohio lovingly has to offer, and he may forego his shower if the facilities are not private enough. And, he'll do it all with a smile on his face. Not because he is enjoying himself, but because he knows his children

ATLANTA -- A former Atlanta Hawks employee is accusing the professional basketball club of discriminating against white people and firing her after she complained.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Margo Kline filed a lawsuit Friday seeking punitive damages and a trial. The lawsuit said Hawks external affairs director David Lee, who is black, promoted a culture of discrimination against white people, and especially white women.

Kline, who is white, worked as a community development coordinator for five years before her March 2017 firing.

The lawsuit said Lee would make jokes about "white culture," hiring and promoting black employees -- who Kline said were less qualified -- over white people.

The NBA team denies Kline's claims and said it plans to defend against them. The Hawks' statement said discrimination claims are taken seriouslyjustice system keeps us safe, instead of shuffling more children into cages and coffins; where we see the faces of our leaders on television and feel pride, not shame," Booker said in his launch video.

Booker plans to visit Iowa the weekend of February 8th and will then campaign in South Carolina, a key primary state where African American voters will play a significant role in shaping the course of the primary. This will be Booker's second trip to the state this month, following a speech in Columbia on MLK Day. He also plans to head to New Hampshire on President's Day weekend.

By the time of his announcement, Booker had already spent time during the 2018 midterm election campaigning for congressional candidates and testing the waters for a presidential


bid in the early states. Through those campaign stops, Booker aimed to carve out a niche for himself in the 2020 field as a voice of compassion. In Iowa, for example, he told reporters that he wants to "be a voice in this country for love."

Booker has also made a name for himself in recent years as a vocal progressive in the Senate and on the Judiciary Committee. His campaign is rejecting contributions from corporate PACs and federal lobbyists, but he does have a history accepting PAC and corporate contributions in previous races.

Unlike some of his fellow Democrats in the ever-widening primary field, including his Senate colleague and friend Kirsten Gillibrand, Booker launched his campaign without an exploratory phase. He is the second black candidate to join therace, after Kamala Harris jumped in on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Booker launched his campaign on Feb. 1, the first day of Black History Month.

Booker is the fourth senator to announce that he is running or has launched an exploratory committee, after Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Gillibrand and Harris. Sen. Bernie Sanders is also mulling a presidential bid.


the ship at the same time as Torbert.  Gemini called one of these experts to testify at trial.

In February 1977, approximately one month prior to trial, Gemini moved the district court for an order permitting it to take Torbert's deposition to perpetuate his testimony for trial.  The affidavit submitted by Gemini's counsel in support of this motion revealed that Gemini's counsel had contacted Torbert ex parte on several occasions, even though Torbert was still employed by Campbell.  Apparently, either because of these ex parte contacts or otherwise, Torbert had expressed a willingness to testify on behalf of Gemini.  The district court denied Gemini's motion to take Torbert's deposition.

The victims of Nazi Germany's World War II Aktion Erntefest, which saw the mass shooting of 18,000 Jews at the Majdanek concentration camp in Lublin (eastern Poland), was remembered by ceremonies in the city on the event's 76 anniversary on Sunday.

On November 3, 1943, German forces shot dead more than 18,000 Jews at the Majdenek camp as part of Aktion Erntefest (German for Operation Harvest Festival) in the biggest mass extermination at German concentration camps and one of the biggest committed during the war. A further 24,000 Jews were killed by the Germans in the Trawniki and Poniatowa camps near Lublin as part of the operation. The mass killings completed the extermination of the Jewish population of the


Lublin district.

On the anniversary of the killings, staff of the Majdanek camp museum, representatives of the Jewish population and Lublin local government officials lit vigil lights and laid flowers as well as memory stones in line with Jewish tradition at an obelisk devoted to the memory of the victims by the execution trenches at which the Jews were shot.

The director of the education department at the Majdanek State Museum, Jolanta Laskowska, said it was important to care for the memory of crimes committed at Majdanek.

"People should know what happened here," she said. "Many people do not know that on November 3, 1943, here at Majdanek, our neighbours, people living in the Lublin region, often known to the people of Lublin, were debased to the limits of possibility eventaxied to its bay.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Albert Pujols didn't look like a man feeling overwhelmed by the pressure of playing for a new team under a massive new contract.

He showed up shortly after dawn at the Los Angeles Angels' spring training facility Monday, a week before the rest of the team's position players begin their workouts. Under a dark blue Arizona sky, he took a few rounds of batting practice on a back field, then rode off in a golf cart -- dozens of fans streaming after him -- to a nearby hotel amphitheater for his first public comments of the spring.

"Everybody has their goal and the goal is to win a championship," Pujols said.

The Angels have built their World Series hopes largely around Pujols, the centerpiece of their $330 millionwinter spending spree. He signed a 10-year, $250 million contract after playing 11 seasons in St. Louis, giving the Angels their first bona fide No. 3 hitter since Mark Teixeira left and adding perhaps the greatest hitter of his generation to a team deep in pitching.

His arrival already has ushered in unprecedented excitement around Angels camp. In the first winter of Arte Moreno's ownership, the team acquired free agents Vladimir Guerrero, Bartolo Colon, Kelvim Escobar and Jose Guillen, but that spring was sleepy compared with the media and fan bustle on Monday.

Pujols has had a couple of months to adjust to his new employer, but Monday was his first day around many of his new teammates and coaches.

"I can't go back and feel sorry. Now, it's time to


move on," Pujols said. "That was an old chapter in my life. Now, it's time to open a new one."

Pujols seemed relieved to be back on a baseball field after more than a year of answering questions about his upcoming free agency, then going through the process starting in November. He spent most of the winter at his home in St. Louis, agreeing to join the Angels in early December. He has been shopping for a new home in south Orange County, but plans to keep a residence in St. Louis. Pujols' new deal ties him to the Angels for another 10 years after his playing days end.

Looking trim in a red workout shirt and gray game pants, Pujols said he feels completely healthy eight months after breakinga bone in his left wrist.

"He's excited like a little kid. It's really good to see him laughing and having fun again," said Pujols' close friend and personal strength coach, Chris Mihlfeld. "Believe me, this has not been easy on him. Now, he's got peace."

Pujols pulled his black Mercedes into the players' lot shortly after 7 a.m. Clutching a bag with some of his belongings, the three-time NL MVP headed to the clubhouse to meet his new teammates. The slugger's first stop was the equipment room, where he was introduced to several employees and clubhouse attendants.


A Look at LGBT Artifacts From the National African-American Museum

The museum features relics from LGBT pioneers such as James Baldwin, Gladys Bentley, Jason Collins and Alvin Ailey

Last weekend's opening of the National Museum of African American History and Culture gave visitors an unparalleled look into the historical and contemporary black experience, which includes significant contributions from the LGBT African-American community.

Thousands toured the museum during opening weekend, which featured performances from celebrities and speeches from prominent figures such as President Obama and George W. Bush, whose iconic photo with First Lady Michelle Obama at the event went viral.

Oprah Winfrey, who previously contributed $20 million to the museum, attended the inauguration. She serves on the museum’s council.

The museum features thousands of artifacts, collected from public submissions and donations. Here’s aHenry Allan Gleason was an American
botanist, plant geographer, and plant ecologist who lived from January 2, 1882
until April 12, 1975. Gleason was born in Dalton City, Il.. He began his studies
at the age of 13 and published his first contribution in The American Naturalist
while still in high school. He received his B.S. and M. A. from the University
of Illinois. After a year of fellowship with the University of Ohio and a summer
as the zoologist of invertebrates on a survey of Isle Royale, Gleason began
his studies in taxonomy under Nathaniel Lord Britton at Columbia University,
graduating with a Ph.D. in 1906.

Gleason taught at the University
of Illinois and the University of Michigan, studied tropical vegetation for
one year and delivered a lecture to the Torrey Botanical Club. After the talk,
Nathaniel Lord Britton


offered Gleason a permanent position at the New York
Botanical Garden.

In his 30 years with the New York
Botanical Garden, Gleason served in a variety of capacities including curator,
head curator, and assistant director. He was acting director for 19 months between
1936 and 1938. Gleason served at various times as editor of the Garden Journal,
Addisonia, and the Bulletin. He edited revised and expanded editions of the
North American Flora and Plants of the Vicinity of New York.

One of the first ecologist, he considered
his idea that “The combination of morphological and geographical evidence
can be of greatest service in developing the phylogeny and history of a group
of plants.”was his primary theoretical contribution. He is identified
with the individualistic concept of plant association, which has had strong
influence on both ecological and geographical studies of vegetation.

Gleason’s diariesA handful of big fossil fuel producers have been responsible for the majority of global greenhouse gas emissions in the years since climate change seized the world's attention as a looming crisis, according to a new report issued today.

When emissions from agriculture and land-use changes are taken out of the equation, a mere 25 producers account for just over half of emissions in the past three decades, the report says. The top 100 account for 71 percent of these industrial emissions.

Because of rapid economic growth and growing demand for power generation, especially among populous developing nations, more than half of the emissions in the centuries since the Industrial Revolution have occurred since 1988. That was the year that the United Nations founded the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change


the use of their products were: Saudi Aramco, Gazprom, National Iranian Oil, Coal India, Shenhua Group, Rosneft, CNPC, ADNOC, ExxonMobil and PEMEX.

Since 1988, the top cumulative polluters were led by Chinese coal concerns, followed by Saudi Aramco, Gazprom, National Iranian and ExxonMobil.

An expansion of coal over the last 15 years, particularly in China, drove much of the recent emissions growth, as did new, carbon-intensive extractions of oil sands and heavy oils by companies including Suncor, Exxon, Chevron, Shell and ConocoPhillips.

Of the 636 gigatonnes of direct greenhouse gases emitted by the 100 "carbon majors" since 1988, 59 percent is attributed to state-owned producers, 32 percent to publicly-traded, investor-owned companies, and 9 percent to privately held companies.

a plurality of deflector vanes located in the engine cowling which are exposed by translation of the cowling. The fan air is directed in a generally outward and partially forward direction by the deflector vanes to provide braking.
The deflector vanes are arranged in segments known as cascades which are positioned around the circumference of the engine cowling. To achieve sufficient braking the engine cowling must translate the length of the cascades to expose all the deflector vanes.
In ducted fan gas turbine engines the size of the cascades are determined by the amount of fan air that bypasses the core engine. For high bypass ducted fan gas turbine engines the size of the cascades can lengthen the engine cowling considerably.
GB2182724B, which is owned by the applicant, provides cascades whichvanes in fixed spaced relationship, the first cascade being fixed adjacent a fixed portion of the cowl and the second cascade being mounted to translate between a first inoperative position where the second cascade is stowed radially inward of the first cascade and a second operative position where it is moved clear of the first cascade and the cowl to expose the air deflecting vanes.
An annular portion of the cowl is translatable and the translating cascade is preferably mounted on the translating portion of the cowl so that movement of the cowl moves the cascade. The translating portion of the cowl may be intermediate the upstream and downstream ends of the cowl.
In the preferred embodiment of the present invention the cascade structure is stowed within the fixed portion


Improving the identification of high-risk infants.
In previous works, information contained on standard U.S. birth certificates was linked to intelligence, academic achievement, and social adjustment in first grade for a statewide random sample. The present screening effort was concentrated on a sample that was already considered to be at high but still variable levels of risk. The families of the 52 black subjects were characterized by low levels of formal education, a fairly low level of maternal intelligence, and very low incomes. By focusing on a group at relatively high risk, we hoped to increase the precision and economy of early identification by using more process-oriented information about the children's early development and environment. As the children attained 6 months of age, characteristics of the mother, the child, andwho was far less ruthless and efficient than one might expect — at least until the final sentence, when we witness the birth of James Bond as popular culture would come to know him.

After several hip-injuries, the keeper decided to retire on 22 November 2015.

Only three days after Heinze announced his retirement, he was hired as goalkeeper coach for the FCCHICAGO – The Chicago Red Stars unveiled the team’s roster ahead of the 2019 National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) campaign.

After a fourth consecutive playoff run, the Red Stars roster returns 16 players from last years roster including captain Julie Ertz and back-to-back NWSL Golden Boot Winner Sam Kerr. Other key players returning for the 2019 season include defenders Katie Naughton, Casey Short and Arin Wright (formerly Gilliland), midfielders Danielle Colaprico, Vanessa DiBernardo and Alyssa Mautz, and forward Yuki Nagasato.

Chicago added strong attacking presence with the acquisition of forward Katie Johnson, who was the co-leader in goals for Sky Blue FC in 2018. At the start of the 2019 NWSL Preseason, the Red Stars signed U.S. Women’s National Team defender Tierna Davidson, who was selected with the first overall


draft pick at the 2019 College Draft.

Following a strong preseason, Chicago signed two new players to contracts – Maria Sanchez and Zoey Goralski. Rookie selection Sanchez impressed all preseason, notching two assists in three games and adds international experience to the roster as a member of the Mexican National Team. The 15th overall pick in the College Draft out of Santa Clara, she led all NCAA Division I players in assists with 16 during the 2018 season.

Goralski was drafted by Chicago in 2018, training with the first team and being a National Team Replacement for the Red Stars match against Sky Blue FC on July 28, 2018. A graduate from UCLA, she played for the Red Stars Reserves in the Women’s Premier Soccer League (WPSL), helping them winAt Ph-D., a penthouse nightclub in Chelsea, owners are stocking up on Dom Pérignon, 1942 Patron tequila and filet mignon. At Midtown's Cipriani, singers John Legend, Marc Anthony and Mary J. Blige are booked.

Many of the city's glitzier venues are scrambling to host parties to mark pro football's Super Bowl, scheduled for Feb. 2 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Party planners, restaurant owners and hospitality industry experts said they expected a blend of the game's already media-saturated atmosphere, heavy celebrity traffic and the more outlandish elements of Manhattan night life.

"There are only so many people who went to Indianapolis," said Chris Mitchell, the vice president and publisher of GQ, who referred to the site of the 2012 Super Bowl. "From a pure wattage standpoint of celebrities and


a lot of extensiveness in what they need and what they get."

Jeremy Piven, the "Entourage" actor, said he expected the Super Bowl to turn New York City into the sort of party town it was when the Yankees won the World Series. After the game, he said, "we will celebrate the league!"

He said he hoped to be at the game. "It's going to be in New York, so it's going to be great show."

He is still weighing after-game plans.

At a recent movie premiere, British fashion model Sophie Sumner said all of her friends would go to a nightclub or house party on game day. Soap opera star Billy Magnussen said he was still trying to figure out where he will "get hammered" after the game.

The game comes amidthe city's midwinter lull. January brings the fewest number of tourists, according to city officials, before the high-voltage New York Fashion Week kicks off in February.

Not everyone on the city's society scene will be attending Super Bowl soirees. Kelly Cutrone, a well-known fashion publicist, said her friends were instead waiting and planning for Fashion Week. "New York doesn't really do nachos or tailgating well," she said. "No one in the fashion industry cares, and none of us will be there. But I hope everyone has fun."

But designer Timo Weiland said he expected some fashion people to fete the big game, in part because some pro athletes have become Fashion Week stalwarts. "There's a crossover. Victor Cruz is omnipresent," he said, referring to the New York Giants wide receiver.


"And their wives are an amazing sight to behold."

The game is expected to bring 400,000 people to the New York area, with many bars poised to seize the opportunity.

TAO Downtown, where a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue goes for $800, is moving in 100-inch TV screens. Marquee, a tiered electronic music club, is bringing in electronic music star Tiesto and a floor-to-ceiling LED screen. At Dream Downtown, planners are festooning the roof with Super Bowl-themed décor and bringing performers for a Sunset Saturday fest with tables that cost up to $20,000.

Others, such as Shape and Men's Fitness magazines, are getting into the Super Bowl game for the first time, staging the Cipriani dinner Friday night. Tara Kraft, editor of Shape, said: "New York is just very different."

"I thinkKBTX-TV - Celebrating 50 Years (1957 * 2007)
KBTX-TV began broadcasting in Bryan-College Station on May 22, 1957 from a four-room brick building on East 29th Street. At the time, the street was a dead end, and on the other side was a creek that was known to flood during heavy rains. East 29th street was also a dirt road, and the pastureland that the station was built on was considered a remote location.

From that day, KBTX was broadcasting at full power on a 400-foot antenna located behind the station. Our studios and business offices are still located at the original location, but things on East 29th Street have changed dramatically. The building has gone through multiple additions, and that small dead-in dirt road has changed into a major


corridor for traffic linking Bryan and College Station. Engineering work was done on the creek (now known as Carter Creek), and where there was a dead end now is a bridge connecting Bryan and College Station. Where once our studios stood alone, we now have major retail and business development surrounding us as business neighbors. In our 50-year history, KBTX-TV has remained the Brazos Valley’s television news leader.

Network Affiliation & The Brand
KBTX-TV has been a CBS affiliate since its debut in 1957. In fact, in the early years, KBTX was a duel CBS and ABC affiliate selecting the best shows from both networks. When we expanded our coverage area, we had to choose between the two networks. In 1984, KBTX became an exclusive CBS affiliate.

From the very firstday the station began broadcasting, the importance of news in the lives of Brazos Valley viewers became clear. The station's commitment and dedication to responsible reporting and community involvement became a core part of our mission statement and continues today. Our long history of reporting fair and accurate local news, weather and sports is echoed today in our slogan: “The People You Know, The News You Trust.”

A Leader In Broadcasting for the Brazos Valley
Not only was KBTX the first television station in the Brazos Valley, but KBTX was the first television station capable of color transmission and use of videotape, and was the first television station in the Brazos Valley to use color news film. KBTX was the first to cover live news, sports and weather, as well


team has also received prestigious awards for news that includes: AP Award “Best Spot News Reporting” for Aggie Bonfire Collapse 1999, and a Telly Award for Aggie Game Day in 2004, 2005 and 2006.

A More Powerful Television Signal
On Thursday, October 14, 1983 at 6 p.m., KBTX turned on its new transmitter to provide clearer reception for a larger portion of the Brazos Valley. Installation of a new antenna and 1,700-foot tower was completed in mid-August in Carlos, TX., about 16 miles southeast of Bryan-College Station. The original date to have the new equipment in operation was September 1, but was delayed because Hurricane Alicia took aim at the upper Texas Coast and the eye moved over the tower on August 18, 1983. Other than delaying start-up, the towerair. A youngster playing with a B.B. gun shot our transmitter relay in Calvert, taking the station off the air during our very first televised college football game on New Years Day. Many celebrities and politicians (including Robert F. Kennedy) have been interviewed in our studios. The past also brings sadness when we remember the early morning of November 18, 1999 when Aggie Bonfire collapsed, killing 12. KBTX became a hub for information during those long hours of confusion and disbelief.

The people that were a part of the many events that happened during our 50 years of broadcasting will forever be remembered.

Community Outreach
From the beginning in 1957, KBTX took the initiative to make a commitment to the community and to public service. It has been an on-going campaign


to help charitable organizations, no matter how big or small. From public affairs programs and public service advertising to employees making a commitment of their time, KBTX has made helping others a priority. Many public service campaigns have been developed to raise awareness for issues ranging from health care and culture to diversity and civic issues. Among the many programs and initiatives that KBTX has been a part of over the last 50 years are:

The Web
In 1996, KBTX purchased the web address KBTX.com. With the growth of on-line commerce, information, and entertainment, KBTX.com has become the #1 source for local news, weather and sports in the Brazos Valley. Streaming video content, access to community events and information, interactive content, and station promotions continue to be the driving force of the success of KBTX.com. In 2006, KBTX purchased the rights to CWBCS.com for the new digital channel CW-BCS.

The New Age of Television: High Definition
KBTX is proud to be the first commercial television station
in the Brazos Valley to broadcast in High Definition Television (HDTV).
KBTX-DT first went on the air on Thursday,


network affiliation began as UPN, but only 18 hours after launch, the network announced the folding of UPN and its competitor, The WB. CBS and Warner Brother-Tribune merged the two networks and announced the formation of a brand new network with a new name: the CW Network. After re-applying, KBTX was granted the new affiliation and we officially launched CW-Bryan College Station on September 18, 2006.

CW-Bryan-College Station is programmed locally with classic television until 1 p.m. and a mix of syndicated programming throughout the afternoon and late evening. Prime time programming comes from The CW Network, and the popular syndicated franchise “Oprah” is repeated at 9 p.m. to finish out the prime time line up. In its first year, CW-BCS acquired the rights to Big 12 Basketball, HoustonGillam remained as General Manager until his death in November 1986.

In 1999, Gray Television purchased KBTX and continues to own and operate this station, as well as 34 other broadcast operations totaling 70 television stations throughout the United States.

Intracardiac migration of the distal catheter of ventriculoperitoneal shunt: a case report.
Migration of the distal catheter into the heart is an extremely rare complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunt, with only 11 cases reported in literature; in only four of them, there was also the migration into the pulmonary artery. The authors report the case of a young patient with this rare complication that was managed simply converting the ventriculoperitoneal shunt into a ventriculoatrial shunt. The migration of the distal catheter occurred through the internal jugular vein probably as the consequence of direct damage of the vessel during tunneling. Venous flow and negative intrathoracic pressure may have gradually pulled the catheter up into the heart; the upward migration may also be encouraged by the continuous movements of the patient thatin 1917.

His piano technique was influenced by stride piano players like James P. Johnson and Willie "The Lion" Smith. He first visited New York in 1922 playing with Wilbur Sweatman, but the trip was unsuccessful. He returned to New York again in 1923, but this time with a group of friends from Washington D.C.

They worked for a while with banjoist Elmer Snowden until there was a disagreement over missing money. Ellington then became the leader. This group was called The Washingtonians. This band worked at The Hollywood Club in Manhattan (which was later dubbed the Kentucky Club).

During this time Sidney Bechet played briefly with the band (unfortunately he never recorded with them), but more significantly the trumpet player Bubber Miley joined the band, bringing with him his unique


plunger mute style of playing. This sound came to be called the "Jungle Sound", and it was largely responsible for Ellington`s early success.

The song "East St. Louis Toodle-Oo" is a good example of this style of playing. The group recorded their first record in 1924 ("Choo Choo (Gotta Hurry Home)" and "Rainy Nights (Rainy Days)", but the band didn`t hit the big time until after Irving Mills became their manager and publisher in 1926. In 1927 the band re-recorded versions of "East St.Louis Toodle-Oo, " debuted "Black and Tan Fantasy" and "Creole Love Call", songs that would be associated with him the for rest of his career, but what really put Ellington`s Orchestra over the top was becoming the house band at the Cotton Club after King Oliverunwisely turned down the job.

Radio broadcasts from the club made Ellington famous across America and also gave him the financial security to assemble a top notch band that he could write music specifically for. Musicians tended to stay with the band for long periods of time. For example, saxophone player Harry Carney would remain with Duke nonstop from 1927 to Ellington`s death in 1974. In 1928 clarinetist Barney Bigard left King Oliver and joined the band.

Ellington and Bigard would later co-write one of the orchestra`s signature pieces "Mood Indigo" in 1930. In 1929 Bubber Miley, was fired from the band because of his alcoholism and replaced with Cootie Williams. Ellington also appeared in his first film "Black and Tan" later that year.

The Duke Ellington Orchestra left the Cotton


Club in 1931 (although he would return on an occasional basis throughout the rest of the Thirties) and toured the U.S. and Europe.

Duke who had recorded Jazz music`s first two-sided, six-minute song in 1929 with his version of The Original Dixieland Jass Bands` "Tiger Rag" (part 1) and (part 2) in 1929, began to push the limits of 78 rpm records (three minutes per side).

Duke Ellington: The Bubber Miley Era 1924 ~ 1929Here are the Duke`s key recordings of the 1920`s as he was rising to fame at the Cotton Club and collaborating with the brilliant trumpeter Bubber Miley, collected on a single CD for the very first time, with remastered sound, detailed notes by Scott Yanow and rare historic photos. Selected Duke Ellington reading list, to buya book, click the title below the picture:

A little piece about trumpeter James `Bubber` Miley: Bubber Miley was the master of the plunger mute. His growling, drunken wah-wah sounding trumpet playing was largely responsible for Duke Ellington `s early success and was the most prominent voice in Duke`s bands throughout the years of 1926 to 1928.

He grew up in New York and played professionally starting in 1920. In 1921 he took over Johnny Dunn`s spot in Mamie Smith`s Jazz Hounds, and toured and recorded with her off and on until 1923. Miley joined banjoist Elmer Snowden`s Washingtonians in 1923 and stayed on when Duke Ellington took over.

Miley was influenced by King Oliver, but developed his own distinctive style of playing with mutes and derbys. Miley co-wrote "East St.


Louis Toodle-OO" and "Black and Tan Fantasy" and starred on many of Ellington`s recordings during the years 1926 to 1928. Miley`s alcoholism made him an unreliable band member, which led Duke to fire him in 1929.

He went on to play with Zutty Singleton and toured France with the Noble Sissle Orchestra in 1930. Bubber played in a musical review in 1931, but died the following year of tuberculosis.

Four men who discussed blowing up a Territorial Army base by sending in a bomb in a toy car have been jailed.

Zahid Iqbal, Mohammed Sharfaraz Ahmed, Umar Arshad and Syed Farhan Hussain, all from Luton, admitted discussing a possible attack on the town's base.

Ringleaders Iqbal and Ahmed were given extended terms of 16 years and three months, including 11 years in jail.

Arshad was jailed for six years and nine months and Hussain for five years and three months.

Sentencing the men, Mr Justice Wilkie QC said that Iqbal and Ahmed posed a continuing risk to the public.

Their extended sentence comprises 11 years in jail and an additional five years on


an extended sentence."

Mr Justice Wilkie said that while the men would be eligible for release after serving two-thirds of their sentence, the Parole Board would have the power to keep them in jail for the whole 11 years.

The four men were arrested in April 2012 and pleaded guilty at Woolwich Crown Court to engaging in preparation for acts of terrorism.

The court heard that Iqbal, 31, Ahmed, 25, Hussain, 21, and Arshad, 24 had arranged terrorism training in Pakistan, debated obtaining weapons and how best to raise funds for their plans. Their conversations were secretly recorded in a joint police-MI5 operation.

In one of the secretly-recorded conversations which was played to the court, Iqbal, the group's leader, can be heard telling Ahmed: "I was looking and drove past like thewhen he met Brandy in 1954 and married her impetuously in Tijuana. Lucius and Brandy had been divorced for some time before she was born. Her brother Buddy explains Jodie's conception as the result of a brief re-encounter between their parents some time after the divorce. Jodie's mother supported the family by working for a film producer, and later in public relations. Both Jodie's parents briefly married other people.

Jodie's brother Lucius "Buddy" Foster was a child-star, most well-known in his television roles as "Johnny Dow" in 17 episodes of "Hondo" in 1967; and as "Mike Jones" in 29 episodes of Mayberry, R.F.D. from 1968 to 1971.

Although [Jodie] Foster's first acting appearance was at three years old, her first significant role came in 1976 as an underage prostitute in


Taxi Driver, receiving an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress. After becoming a star, Jodie attended school at the prestidious Lycee Francais.

She won an Oscar for Best Actress in 1988 for playing a rape survivor in The Accused. In 1991, she starred in The Silence of the Lambs as Clarice Starling, a gifted FBI trainee, assisting in a hunt for a serial killer. This performance received international acclaim and her second Oscar for Best Actress." ("Jodie Foster", permanent-link on Wikipedia)

Jodie Foster met her long-term partner Cydney Bernard (b. 1953) in 1993/4 on the set of the film Sommersby. They have been living together for the past 14 years. After long speculation about her sexuality, Jodie finally came out Dec 2007. Jodie has two sons, but has deflected questionsabout who their father(s) might be.

In 1997, her brother Buddy Foster, wrote a book Foster Child, which purports to be a biography of Jodie Foster, but has been called a biography of the entire Foster family. The book discusses many events growing up in his family. He paints his mother in a villainous way, especially stating that she spent all his career earnings, and when Jodie became a star, the rest of the family suffered some neglect.

Lucius Fisher Foster

Lucius Fisher Foster III was born about 1922/3 in Colorado (possibly in Denver), the son of Lucius Foster and his wife Constance Richardson. This entry in the Ancestry World Tree claims his parents married in Denver. His mother remarried in 1928/9 to Leslie B Irwin, an investment securities salesman. Robert


Battle states that Leslie's middle name was "Bessel". An article in the magazine She Australiaexcepted here states that "Lt Col Lucius Fisher Foster III, [was] a former Battle of Britain fighter (this battle fought 10 July 1940 – 31 October 1940), and one of the most highly decorated fliers in the US airforce." This last fact is doubtful and needs firm evidence. Such an event would have been widely published and I'm just not finding that. Jodie Foster is quoted in that article stating that she has only met her father about three times.

In 1946, "Lucius Fisher Foster" is shown in the Voter's Registration living at the same Los Angeles address as his mother Constance. In October 1952, Lucius was living in Boise, Idado since he gave thisas his home address when he was then returning from Manila. This might have been where he was living, when this article states that Lucius "...already had three kids from a previous marriage. In 1954, he met a pretty young woman named Evelyn "Brandy" Almond at a fencing club and married her impetuously during a trip to Tijuana, Mexico."

Lucius and Brandy lived in Los Angeles where they had four children, the youngest of whom was the actress Jodie Foster. They divorced and they each married and divorced other people in the Los Angles area.

Buddy Foster states that Lucius and Brandy had split up in 1959, and that Jodie was conceived when their mother went to Lucius to plead for child-support money. Buddy's alledges that Lucius demanded sex for


the payment and that is how Jodie was conceived in 1962.

When Buddy Foster's book on his sister was released, Entertainment Weekly did a review dated 1997, in part stating that Lucius was then living, aged 75. Lucius was apparently yet living as late as 2003, when his name appears online in a few comments that he evidently posted to various forums.

New York Passenger Lists, 1820-1957 showing : "Restricted Personnel Roster, Aquitania, Oct 4, 1945, For Reception Station Fort McArthur, California. Lucius F Foster III, Capt, 532 S Arden Blvd, Los Angeles, Calif." While a footnote on this document states : "Capt Lucius F Foster... AC is designated Officer in charge and Custodian of Records for Reception Sta Gp RE 6047-A-20, from present station until relieved by competent auththat Evelyn was born in the Bronx, New York. Here the International Who's Who of Women calls Jodie's mother "Eileen". An article in Rolling Stone states that Brandy was "...Born in the Bronx to a strict German family, [and] raised in Rockford, Illinois." Jodie Foster, in that same article, speaking of her mother states: "She's an only child, and she doesn't like to be around people that much."

Sometime before 1952, she moved to the Los Angeles area. This article states that Lucius "...already had three kids from a previous marriage. In 1954, he met a pretty young woman named Evelyn "Brandy" Almond at a fencing club and married her impetuously during a trip to Tijuana, Mexico." They had four children, all born in Los Angeles County, the oldest


being Lucinda Courtney Foster born Oct 26, 1954, and the youngest being the actress Jodie Foster. They divorced, both remarrying other people and then divorcing, in the Los Angeles area. It has been stated that Brandy was a film producer, although it's also possible that she merely worked for a film producer. These connections possibly explain how both Buddy and Jodie became child stars.

An article in She Australiaexcepted here states that Brandy and her live-in lover Josephine Dominguez "Aunt Jo" brought up the four siblings, and that Alicia Christine Foster was called "Jodie" after her mother's lover "Jo. D." This article is evidently quoting this statement from Buddy Foster's biography of his sister.

Lucius Fisher Foster II

Lucius Fisher Foster II was born Oct 30, 1898 in Denver, Arapahoe County,Colorado to Alexis C Foster, a native of Tennessee and his wife Alice from Illinois. It's possible that he is that same Lucius F Foster who is listed here as "Chief Q M [quarter-master], U S Navy, Denver". About 1920 or 1921, possibly in Denver, he married Constance Marie Robertson, a native of Tennessee, whose family had moved to Denver about 1909.

By 1926, Lucius and Constance had moved to Chicago. They had two children Courteney and Lucius, but either they divorced or he died by 1929 as she appears in the Los Angeles census in 1930 re-married, with her children listed as her new husband's step-children.

Constance Marie Robertson

Constance Robertson was born about 1902/3 in Tennessee, the daughter of Samuel Richard Robertson by his wife Martha Elizabeth Hughes. By


about 1909, the family had moved to Denver, Colorado, where they appear in the 1910 Census and where her father was admitted to the bar in 1913. About 1919/21 she married Lucius Foster, probably in Denver, and they had two surviving children: Courtenay and Lucius Jr both born in Colorado. They were probably married by the time of the 1920 census, as she does not appear that year in the household of her parents in Denver. By 1926, she and Lucius are living in Chicago.

About 1928/9 she remarried to Leslie B Irvin (1901-78) as his first wife. Leslie was an investment security salesman, born in Illinois. The family appears in the 1930 census in Los Angeles, California.

Constance and Leslie were divorced by 1936 when he appears as "single"on a ship manifest. Constance married lastly to a Mr Gerst, he is possible the Louis Gerst who appears living with her in the 1952 Voter Registration Rolls. She appears as "Mrs Constance Gerst, but her husband if he is living with her, is not registered in the Voter's Registration in 1944 living at 532 S Arden Blvd. Note that this is the same address used above by her son Lucius in 1946. By 1952 she is appearing at 805 S Windsor Blvd with Louis Gerst at the same address. A Louis Gerst born 1894 NY, died 1959 Los Angeles appear in the California Death Index, which is possibly him.

Constance died 25 Oct 1955 in Los Angeles County as "Mrs Constance Gerst".

Mr Almond

Mrs Almond

Alexis Caldwell Foster

Alexis C Foster


was born Apr 1868 in Tennessee. About 1897/8 he married Alice Fisher, a native of Illinois. They appear in the 1900 Census in Denver where Alexis is a "Merchant of Credit". Alexis became a banker and eventually, he and Alice moved to Ossining, New York in tony Westchester County, where they are listed in the 1930 census, with a house worth then $200,000. Since this was 1930, that house must have been effectively a palace. He is there listed as "Proprietor Investment Bank" and possibly this is the same "U S National Bank of Denver" that he listed as his address in 1925 while returning from England.

Elizabeth Martha Hughes

Elizabeth Martha Hughes was born Jul 4, 1882. On Aug 24, 1899 she married Samuel Richard Robertson and by about1909 they had moved to Denver, Colorado, where he went into law practice, being admitted to the bar in 1913.

Elizabeth and Samuel had three children. He died in Denver, but she died Oct 13, 1955 at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital, Los Angeles, California.

This entry in the Ancestry World Tree, by anonymous showing same as above, plus died at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital, cremated Chapel of the Pinan, and born Iuka, MS. Husband's entry shows he was an attorney, moved to Denver about 1909, admit to bar 1913

letter. This is part of a long intimidation by the
current regime against the Greek Catholic Church because the Church speaks out
for freedom and justice and against corruption.

For example, the government has been making
difficulties for the Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv for several years
now. Recently it charged one of the professors for a traffic violation in a
city in which he was not even present. It is also demanding that the rector of
the university be a Ukrainian citizen. The current rector is an ethnic
Ukrainian from Poland. The former
rector, founder, and current president of the university, Bishop Borys Gudziak,
is an ethnic Ukrainian from the United States.

CWR: What is the history of government oppression of the
Church in the Ukraine, both before 1989 and after?

Father McVay: What is Ukraine today was ruled byforeign powers for
seven centuries. In the region ruled by Poland, Ukrainian Orthodox hierarchs
united with Rome and their Church became known as “Uniate.” Subsequent Austrian
rulers re-named the Church “Greek Catholic” to promote its equality with the
Roman Catholic Church. Because the
Tsarist Empire destroyed the Greek Catholic Church in the eastern territories it
annexed, it survived only in Austrian Galicia (western Ukraine).

In 1945 Joseph Stalin gave the orders to Nikita
Khruschev to suppress the remaining three dioceses in the newly acquired
western Ukraine. He also ordered the Russian Orthodox Church to absorb [members
of] the UGCC into their fold. Bishops, priests, religious, and faithful who
refused to renounce Catholic unity were convicted of crimes against the
Communist Party and sent to the gulag. Blessed John Paul II beatified some of these
martyrs in 2001 during his visit to


Ukraine.

I recently completed a historical biography on one of
these martyrs, Nykyta Budka, who had served as the first Ukrainian bishop in
Canada from 1912 to 1928. Like many others, Budka died in a work camp in
Kazakhstan. After Gorbachev initiated his Glasnost reforms, the UGCC emerged
from the underground and demanded civil rights. These were granted shortly
before the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.

CWR: Father, you are based in Rome and minister to Ukrainian
Catholics in a number of communities worldwide. What concerns or opinions have
Ukrainians both in the Ukraine and outside (in the UK, Canada, and Italy)
voiced to you?

Father McVay: Ukrainians at home and abroad and also those of
Ukrainian descent consider themselves part of the Ukrainian nation or people. Those who have retained the confession of
their ancestors (Ukrainian Greek Catholic,Ukrainian Orthodox) also are
spiritually united to their brothers and sisters in the old country because
they are part of one Church. In the case of the UGCC, it is a particular Church
existing on four continents. It is united to the Universal Church and all the
Catholic Churches.

Both inside and outside the borders of Ukraine,
Ukrainians are very grateful for the spiritual and moral solidarity coming from
Catholics around the world and from people of other faiths. However, some have
expressed concern that in some countries there appears to be little concern for
our struggle for freedom, and that international leaders are not acting with
greater vigor to dissuade the regime from its totalitarian tendencies. Also, Ukrainians
are concerned when others try to “dissect” and “divide” Ukraine into zones and
categories. These spectators weigh the
pros and cons of


through the press and Internet,
of what is going on and what is at stake.
A magnificent example of solidarity has come from Cardinal Timothy Dolan
of New York, who expressed unreserved support for the Ukrainian people and the
UGCC hierarchy on
his blog. George Weigel has also
been very helpful by explaining what is at stake in this conflict.

McConnell's defenders often point to his remarks against racial slurs and his praise of civil rights legislation during the 1960s when he faces charges of racism.

McConnell chastised Everett Corley, a Kentucky Republican who ran for the state legislature last year and who criticized McConnell's marriage to U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, who is Asian, during a 2014 appearance on a white nationalist YouTube show.

"This racist behavior is completely despicable," McConnell told the Louisville Courier Journal at the time. "Such backwards views and hateful rhetoric must be given no corner in the Republican Party or anywhere in America."

When U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, was scorned nationally for questioning why white nationalism was offensive, McConnell said the congressman "should find another line of work."

But McConnell has beenCity of Thieves we meet David, who lives in Los Angeles and writes screenplays about superheroes. Realizing his life and writing career borders on dull, he decides to write a story about his grandfather's experiences living during the Siege of Leningrad in World War II. He flies off to Florida to interview his grandfather and here the story begins. David Benioffs debut novel takes us on quite an adventure. The story's main focus is on two young men, Lev (David's grandfather) and Koyla, doing their darnedest to survive the coming siege. On New Year's Eve, Lev and his friends loot the dead body of a German paratrooper. Caught in the act by soldiers, only Lev is actually captured and imprisoned. Here he meets the wise-cracking Koyla.

Even for China, where companies have struggled with race issues in their marketing previously, the latest in-flight magazine from the country's flagship airline will likely come as a shocker.

Air China's Wings of China carries a long feature on visiting London, with almost a third of the magazine dedicated to tourist attractions in Britain's capital and other famous cities such as Oxford. The main article, titled "London, the city of 'hat tricks'," covers Brits' apparent fondness for all kinds of hats.

Then, after a section on transport options and lifestyle and cultural activities in London, Wings of Chinaoffers some "Tips from Air China."

"London is generally a safe place to travel, however, precautions are needed when entering areas mainly populated by Indians, Pakistanis and black people," China's flagship carrier advises. "We advise tourists not to go out alone at night, and females always to be accompanied by another person when traveling."

The advice is at odds with the London promoted by its Mayor Sadiq Khan, a Brit with Pakistani parents, who in July launched a #LondonisOpen campaign and frequently blogs about his favorite places to eat and drink in his South London Indian-Pakistani neighborhood of Tooting.

Meanwhile, Britain is an increasingly popular destination for Chinese tourists: Chinese visitors spent $786 million in total in Britain in 2015, up 18 percent on 2014.

It is true, an old farmer, who had been down to New York on a visit several years after, and from whom this account of the ghostly adventure was received, brought home the intelligence that Ichabod Crane was still alive; that he had left the neighborhood partly through fear of the goblin and Hans Van Ripper, and partly in mortification at having been suddenly dismissed by the heiress; that he had changed his quarters to a distant part of the country; had kept school and studied law at the same time; had been admitted to the bar; turned politician; electioneered; written for the newspapers; and finally had been made a justice of the ten pound court.

They fight frequently, disturbing Sammy and his adolescent brother Jesse (Dakota Goyo). Daniel has a temper, and a disturbing control streak; he has taken a particular dislike to Jesse's best friend, a slightly older boy named Kevin (L. J. Benet.) As tensions mount, Daniel attacks Kevin—he's only pulled off by the boy's father.

Daniel's outburst of rage is provoked by the discovery of mysterious brand marks on Jesse's body. Daniel blames Kevin for them; we're supposed to blame the aliens. But neighbors and doctors think Daniel and perhaps Lacy are responsible for abusing their own children.

The film appears to reject this explanation out of hand; we know Daniel and Lacy, and they obviously care for their kids and

One of the most effective scenes in the film is one in which Lacy, a realtor, is doing a walk-through of a new home for a couple. In the middle of the pitch, she freezes, her eyes gazing into the distance, her hands clasping. Then she walks to a window and starts bashing her head into it, to the couple's horror.

The face of former prime minister and current candidate Silvio Berlusconi can be seen on virtually every TV channel. He's promising jobs, tax cuts and better times. Yet Italy was verging on bankruptcy when he left office less than a year and a half ago. Berlusconi's coalition is still trailing the center-left in the opinion polls. Still his popularity increases with every television interview - in spite of the fact that he's been charged with paying for sex with an underage prostitute.

Jesus kissed his mother's handsAnd said, 'Mother, still your tearsRemember, the soul of the universeWilled a world and it appeared.'

I think that's the best portrayal of Jesus's humanity I've ever read. That's partly because Jesus's divinity is not mentioned. It reminds me of Bulgakov's potrayal of "Yeshua" in his novel The Master and Margarita. Bulgakov's "Yeshua" is heart-breaking good, but his goodness is a naivete which is helpless against Pilate. There is no resurrection. Christians believe in Jesus's


humanity, as well as his divinity-- that's the whole point-- but I wonder whether they are permanently unable to express it as poignantly as the "good agnostic" (agnostic about Christianity, not necessary about God) for whom Jesus's humanity is all that there is. The apostles, after all, were like the "good agnostics" in the time of Jesus's Ministry: like Springsteen or Bulgakov, they recognized his goodness, but not his divinity.

Bulgakov's "Yeshua" is a fictional character, and Christians would have some reason to take offense at the liberties Bulgakov takes with the historical record. But there is nothing in Springsteen's song, as far as I can tell, that a Christian should object to. The second and third verses, about Jesus's childhood in the hills of Nazareth-- it is theportrayal of Jesus's childhood that makes him so human-- are not in the Gospels, which all either begin with Jesus's Ministry (Mark and John) or jump from the Christmas story to Jesus's Ministry (Matthew and Luke). In the Gospel of Luke, there is a single episode in between, about Jesus teaching in the Temple when he was twelve. That's all the Bible says about Jesus's childhood. Yet Jesus must have had a childhood, and the two scenes Springsteen represents-- Jesus reading the psalms of David at his mother's feet, and Mary singing him a lullaby-- are as orthodox as you could ask for. We know that Jesus must have read the psalms of David a lot because he quoted from them so much in his teachings. This is


were trying to express, as this song does in its way, the mystery of the incarnation, and they came up with dogmas like:

the Son of God is true God, born of God the Father before all ages, and is eternal, as is God the Father; He was begotten, and not made, and is of one essence with God the Father. (First Ecumenical Council, Nice, 325 AD)

the equality and the single essence of God the Holy Spirit with God the Father and God the Son. (Second Ecumenical Council, Constantinople, 381 AD)

united in Jesus Christ at the time of the incarnation were two natures, divine and human, and that one should confess Jesus Christ as true God and true Man, and the Holy Virgin as the God-bearer (Theotokos). (Third EcumenicalCouncil, 431 AD)

as God Jesus Christ is eternally born from God. As man, He was born of the Holy Virgin and in every way is like us, except in sin. (Fourth Ecumenical Council, 451 AD)

in Jesus there are two wills, Divine and human, and in these two natures there are two wills, but... the human will in Christ is not against, but rather is submissive to His Divine will. (Sixth Ecumenical Council, Constantinople, 680 AD)

(All quotes from The Law of God, Archpriests Seraphim Slobodskoy, 1996.) But even if the Councils were right, was it worth it? Each council was a source of schism, with some who had been at peace with the Church becoming heretics. Had they stayed in the fold of the Church they would have been


Budyanee De Zoysa

Budyanee is an active member of over five different youth groups and initiatives in Kingston. She is always looking for ways to play her part in improving our community. Her engagement and advocacy for Kingston youth began shortly after she arrived, December 2015. Budyanee was approached by a member of the Limestone District School Board to be a Keynote Speaker for the “Dare to Stand Out: Youth Diversity Conference”. This was her first time speaking about her experiences coming to Canada in front of a large audience of youth. She was amazed by how responsive, appreciative, and respectful everyone was, this encouraged her to continue being involved in the Kingston community.

From this Budyanee became involved with Peace Quest, then the Immigrant Services Kingston and Area (ISKA)youth group and Pathways for Children and Youth. The ISKA youth group has played a huge role in her feeling welcome in Kingston. Through attending youth group she has been able to experience many diverse cultures. This also createda drive in her to expand her knowledge and began learning more languages; she would love to be able to assist as a translator for the group.

Just this year Budyanee added to her growing list of youth initiatives by becoming a successful candidate for Sophie Kiwala’s MPP Youth Council. This makes her one of approximately ten youth that discuss youth issues related to provincial parliament and bring them directly to Sophie Kiwala.

Something Budyanee hopes to work on moving forwarding is addressing racism in Kingston, specifically socio-political aspects of racism. She

Democrat Lesia Romanov was the only candidate with a pulse in the race for Assembly District 36, but it looks like that wasn’t enough to defeat deceased brothel owner Dennis Hof.

Although Nevada Republicans have seen stronger elections, brothel owner Dennis Hof, who passed away unexpectedly Oct. 16, managed to win his race for Assembly District 36 despite being dead.

Democrat Lesia Romanov was the only candidate with a pulse in the race for Assembly District 36, but apparently that wasn’t enough to defeat deceased brothel owner Dennis Hof.

Based on partial returns late Tuesday night, it appeared voters in the rural, heavily RepublicanPresident Barack Obama into office.

Twenty-seven of the 28 incumbents who were up for re-election from both parties also appeared poised for victory late Tuesday night.

Meanwhile, women were on the cusp of making history in the Assembly, as 20 female candidates were leading in the early returns. If all of them could hold on and be joined by two more female contenders, it would mark the first time that a majority of the chamber would be held by women.

It’s unclear who will end up representing District 36, where there are nearly 8,500 more Republicans than Democrats on the active-voter registration rolls.

Hof was the leading contender there when he was found dead in bed at his Love Ranch brothel in Crystal, just north of Pahrump, on Oct. 16.

Factbox: How will Britain allocate its seats to the European Parliament?

LONDON (Reuters) – The European Parliament election in Britain on May 23 is expected to show the polarization of views over Brexit, with strongly pro-Brexit and pro-EU parties gaining at the expense of the governing Conservatives and opposition Labour Party.

Below is an explanation of the D’Hondt system, which is used to allocate seats in most of the United Kingdom, and many other EU countries, and the impact it could have:

HOW WILL BRITONS VOTE?

The United Kingdom is divided into 12 electoral regions – nine in England, and one each for Scotland, Wales andNorthern Ireland. In total it will elect 73 MEPs (Members of the European Parliament).

Parties submit a list of candidates for each region, and voters select a party rather than an individual candidate. As the seats are allocated to a party, they in turn allocate them to candidates starting from the top of their list.

Britain is taking part in the elections because it delayed the date of its exit from the EU, but its MEPs will leave the parliament when Brexit happens. If Britain has left the EU by the end of June, the MEPs will not take up their seats.

WHAT IS THE D’HONDT SYSTEM?

The D’Hondt system of translating votes proportionately into seats is used to allocate European Parliament seats in England, Scotland and Wales. Northern Ireland uses the

Álvaro Odriozola is destined to play his football for the 2018/19 season wearing the famous white shirt after both Real Madrid and Real Sociedad representatives are close to finalising the small print on his transfer to the Bernabeu. With the defender back in San Sebastian after Spain's World Cup exit, the pace of negotiation has heated up ahead of a 40 million euro move to the Spanish capital. The final details of the move have seen direct involvement from both the Real Sociedad president, Jokin Aperribay and Real Madrid's director general, José Ángel Sánchez.

The final hurdle for both parties is to define the nature of the 40 million euro payment structure which will bring to an end weeks of negotiation for the Spanish international.

Post Zidane

With Zidane's sudden departure from Real Madrid and Odriozola's participation with "La Roja" in Russia, new Madrid coach Julen Lopetegui was quick to approve the deal after the former Spanish coach himself awarded the 22-year-old his full international debut with Spain and selected him as part of the "La Roka" squad based in Krasnodar during the tournament.

Real Sociedad have been aware that a departure from the Basque outfit was on the cards and this was echoed by new coach Asier Garitano speaking to Diario AS yesterday. He's a top classPacing in right ventricular dysplasia after disconnection surgery.
This report describes a 33-year-old patient with arrhythmogenic right ventricular (RV) dysplasia who had a dual chamber pacemaker implanted at age 23 years for drug-induced bradycardia. Pacing was continued after right ventricular free-wall disconnection (RVFWD) at age 24 years. Her pacemaker was not replaced after battery depletion 7 years later. She presented the following year in severe right-sided heart failure. Her old pacemaker generator was replaced. This was followed by rapid resolution of her clinical failure and return to a full, active, physical lifestyle. This observation suggests the potential benefit of dual chamber pacing in patients with RV dysplasia after RVFWD.

Freshly launched,Canada, the appellant father disappeared, allegedly after having taken one of the minor children, the subject of the custody and injunctive orders appearing herein. The appellant was next found in Canada.
Thereafter, on June 3, 1963, W.B. Cromarty, a lawyer of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, made a return, averring under oath, that he had received a copy of the summons and complaint and had personally served the same on the appellant, Elbert Sowerwine. On that same day, Mr. Cromarty also served upon the appellant a copy of the restraining order.
Thereafter, the default of the appellant was entered on July 1, 1963, and judgment was granted on July 3, 1963, affording respondent the relief for which she had prayed.
Prior to the entry of the judgment just referred to, but subsequent to


the personal service of process in Canada of June 3, counsel for the respondent, on June 17, made and filed an affidavit of publication of summons. On the following day, June 18, an order of publication of summons was made by the clerk of the district court of Lewis and Clark County. The affidavit of publication dated July 3, 1963, states that the publication of summons was made on June 19, 26, and July 3, 1963, in the Helena Independent Record, making in all three dates of publication.
On July 24, 1963, praecipe was entered by respondent which recited, in substance, that appellant had been served with summons by publication pursuant to sections 93-3014 and 93-3015, R.C.M. 1947, which had been repealed January 1, 1962; that he had failedto appear by answer or otherwise, and requested that default against appellant be entered in the action. Accordingly, on that same date the default of the appellant was entered, as was another decree of divorce which granted to respondent the same relief in substantially the same terms as the decree which had been entered on July 3, 1963. Thus, in summary, the respondent acquired on her single complaint, dated December 20, 1962, two decrees of divorce against the same party, viz., the first decree dated July 3, 1963, based upon personal service of June 3, 1963, and the second decree dated July 24, 1963, founded upon service by publication of summons, the last publication of which was made on July 3, 1963.
On this appeal, it is contended that
