for sitting MPs to be required to demonstrate they had 66% support locally to continue.

There will also be a move to increase the number members of Labour's ruling National Executive Committee (NEC), who are elected not by MPs or the unions, but by the rank-and-file members.

The assumption is that they are more in tune with Mr Corbyn's agenda.

The NEC approves party candidates for elections - and a panel of its members chooses by-election candidates.

There was an attempt to disbar the pro-nuclear and anti-Corbyn candidate John Woodcock at an NEC meeting just before the election.

That failed, but if the balance of power on the body were to change, so could the career prospects of theleadership's critics.

And indeed the career prospects of Labour's general secretary Iain McNicol would be called in to question by another proposed change.

There will be an attempt to give members the right to choose the party's top official in future.

Again, this can't be decided until next year but could put Mr McNicol on notice.

He is blamed for trying to deny new (and, it was assumed, more radical) members the right to vote in last year's leadership contest and for not putting enough resources in to Labour/Tory marginals at the general election.

He would contend that the party HQ's strategy of defending vulnerable seats - as well as swiftly moving resources to seats which looked promising as the campaign progressed - was a success.

I asked Fighter A about a graduation ceremony: How had the recruits and their instructors marked the end of the program?

“There was no graduation ceremony, but we did a graduation project at the end. It was a complete fighting project that included everything we had been trained on. For me, this was the best part of the camp.”

And then camp was over.

The company blamed tough competition and the worst catastrophe weather claims in the U.S. for 75 years for the profits decline, while bad weather and continuing subsidence losses in Britain also taking a toll.
But news that Guardian may spend around one billion pounds ($1.6 billion) on a life acquisition and disappointment that it had no plans to return capital to shareholders prompted the shares to reverse an initial rise on the back of the results.
The company told industry analysts that a UK life acquisition was top of the list, that it could comfortably spend one billion


of premiums in selected sectors and regions such as British motor insurance and difficult conditions in Germany had not been as severe as some commentators had forecast.
It predicted rates in the motor market could rise by as much as eight percent over the next twelve months with household rates likely to see smaller increases of the order of two percent.
Competition in commercial markets continued to be fierce, though even here there were hopes of an upturn in rates by the end of the year.
For 1996, however, Guardian trading profits were down over 17 percent at 281 million pounds, before restructuring costs of 39 million pounds.
Pre-tax profits including investment gains dropped to 651 million pounds from 812 million pounds last year. Total premium income was down only slightly at3.73 billion pounds.
While competition had risen and was likely to increase further, Guardian said it was confident about the future and that this was reflected in the increase in the dividend payout for the year by one pence to 10.0 pence per share.
The figures were broadly in line with market expectations although the headline operating profit was flattered by reserve releases to the tune of 10 to 15 million pounds and by a profit contribution from the internal reinsurance operation which may not be repeated.
Progress had been made on the integration of last year's acquisition of Legal & General's commercial business and of the RAC insurance business.
Restructuring of the group's operations in Britain was also moving ahead, the company said.

(The Sports Xchange) - Former Notre Dame coach Ara Parseghian has died at the age of 94. He passed away after falling ill from hip surgery complications.

“Notre Dame mourns the loss of a legendary football coach, a beloved member of the Notre Dame family and good man -- Ara Parseghian,” university president Father John Jenkins said in a statement. “Among his many accomplishments, we will remember him above all as a teacher, leader and mentor who brought out the very best in his players, on and off the field.”

Parseghian was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1980. He led the Irish to a 95-17-4 record in 11 seasons in South Bend, winning national championships in 1966 and 1973.

Parseghian had five operations and was treated earliersince their introduction because is of their unique combination of properties. However, efforts continue in an attempt to improve upon these properties and thereby increase the potential uses of expanded porous films of polytetrafluoroethylene. One area of concentrated research has been with respect to efforts to increase the radiation resistance of the films, which are notoriously susceptible to degradation by radiation.
Efforts to improve upon the properties and/or uses of porous polytetrafluoroethylene materials by blending an additional component into the polytetrafluoroethylene prior to expansion have met with limited success. In fact, common wisdom in the art advises against incorporation of a matrix interactive component into the polytetrafluoroethylene prior to expansion, except in trace amounts, as a high degree of crystallinity is thought to be necessary to achieve proper expansion


Origins of the first HLA specificities.
Following the discovery of the first histocompatibility antigen "MAC" in 1958, numerous independent laboratories began identifying HLA specificities with allo-antibodies. During the span of about a decade, 1958-1970, virtually all of the common HLA-A and HLA-B antigens were identified by various names and presented at the International Histocompatibility Workshops by means of different serological methods. Because many of the independently discovered specificities were found to be reactive to similar determinants on lymphocytes, it became necessary to classify the antigens by means of a standard method. The micro lymphocytotoxicity test was chosen to be the basis for future antigen testing, thereby allowing the various laboratories to confidently exchange sera. At the 1968 WHO Nomenclature meeting, the naming of the first antigen ultimately gave riselN THE SUPREME COURT OF PENNSYLVANlA

The present invention relates to a driver leg restraint apparatus for restraining driver's legs in a car crash, and particularly to a leg restraint apparatus of a driver in a driver's seat.
A knee airbag apparatus for restraining the driver's legs in a car crash is provided in a lower side of a steering column in a car. In a car crash, a gas generator discharges the gas, which is supplied to the airbag. Then the airbag is inflated and deployed between an interior panel and the driver's legs, whereby both driver legs are restricted.
In Japanese Unexamined Application Publication No. 2004-284416, in order to prevent the damage caused when a key inserted into a key cylinder of the steering column cover or a key holder thereof directly contacts anairbag during inflation, a protection cloth (referred to as reinforcing cloth 53 in the same publication) is provided on an external surface of the air bag to prevent the airbag from damaging.
The object of the present invention is to improve the protection characteristic of an airbag by means of a protection cloth in a driver leg restraint apparatus having the protection cloth, for protecting the airbag inflated and deployed in a lower side of a steering column (steering column cover) from a key holder and such.

Boosted by a 13-game winning streak that started with a victory over the Golden State Warriors just before the All-Star break, the Blazers secured the third seed in the Western Conference. They clinched the Northwest Division title for the seventh time in franchise history and went to the playoffs for the fifth straight year.

Lillard again drove the team's success. In March he averaged 27.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 6.5 assists. He also set a franchise record by making 64 straight free throws. But New Orleans contained him in the playoffs. He averaged 18.5 points during the series, after scoring 26.9 per game during the regular season.

Lillard tried in the offseason to balance the positives and the negatives.

ED'S EXIT: The biggest absence this year is undoubtedly Ed Davis, who was effective off the bench and popular in the locker room. Davis averaged 5.3 points and 7.4 rebounds for Portland last season. A free agent, Davis went to the Brooklyn Nets. Portland also lost reserves Shabazz Napier and Pat Connaughton.

PROTEST: Outside the Moda Center on Monday a group of demonstrators displayed companion banners that read "Blazers Yes" and "Warcrimes No." The signs were part of an ongoing protest of the team's relationship with Leupold & Stevens, an Oregon-based company that manufactures rifle scopes and binoculars. The protest targets the company's deal in 2017 to supply scopes for the ground arm of the Israel Defense Forces. The

"I think it's similar to when he came back to Cleveland, it takes time," Lillard said. "Anytime you bring guys in and they join a young team, a new team, I think it just takes time to gel, being on the floor together, learning each other, learning how to win together. So I think it's good that we get them early."Brabham Confirms Sergio Rinland As Technical Advisor

Birmingham, UK – Saturday 16 January 2016: David Brabham today confirmed that renowned designer and engineer, Sergio Rinland, has joined Brabham as Technical Advisor, as the iconic Brabham Racing team strives to return to world-class competition while creating a pioneering new way for people to experience motorsport.

Sergio joined triple Le Mans winner and Brabham Racing Team Principal David to make the announcement on the Autosport Stage during Europe’s largest motorsport show, Autosport International, on Saturday afternoon (16 January).

In a career spanning 40 years, Sergio has designed and engineered a plethora of cars across global formulas including Indy Cars, sports and touring disciplines. Two decades were spent in Formula 1 working for Williams, Benetton, Sauber, Arrows, and twice for Brabham, latterly serving as


the team’s last Chief Designer.

Owner and Managing Director of the Automotive Engineering and Management consulting company, Astauto Ltd, Sergio boasts extensive expertise in simulation as well as in electric and hybrid car projects. He has also taken roles in academia in the last few years. Sergio joins Brabham Global as Technical Advisor, as one of the most successful names in motorsport history leverages the power of its iconic global brand through a groundbreaking, interactive digital platform to create a new multi-million pound business model.

David Brabham commented: “Brabham is pleased to announce former Brabham F1 designer Sergio Rinland as Technical Advisor to the Brabham Group. His role will help determine the technical landscape and future technologies that represent our brand DNA, encompassing pioneering thinking, inspired engineering and innovation, aslegendary Brabham Racing outfit as an open and transparent team will drive digital content to provide unique motorsport experiences and inspired learning, taking consumer to brand engagement to a new level.

The world’s first online motorsport content, subscription based model, Brabham-Digital, became the world’s largest successful sports crowdfunding campaign of its time in late 2014, under the Project Brabham banner. It now boasts a community of members from 64 countries who have signed up for the experiential activities that will lead the way in modern motorsport.

Brabham is striving to change the landscape of motorsport; not only how a team is funded, communicates and operates, but gains return on investment and opportunities for additional revenue streams. The new concept could lower financial barriers in the sport while giving fans the


insider perspective and access lacking at the highest echelons.

2016 hails an important year as David continues to try and make the Brabham Racing team’s return to the racetrack a reality, in the year the family and brand celebrates the 50th anniversary of Sir Jack Brabham’s historic 1966 Formula 1 World Championship title. To this day, ‘Black Jack’ remains the only driver to win the crown in a car of his own construction and name – a feat unlikely to ever be repeated.

To make it even more memorable, third generation drivers Matt and Sam Brabham will continue the astounding legacy laid down by ‘Black Jack’. Matt is set to make his Indy 500 debut 55 years after his grandfather sparked the rear-engine revolution at the Brickyard. Meanwhile, in thein a statement.

This combination of several lawsuits by more than 200 former NHL players was formally filed last October. As a class-action complaint, the litigation effectively covers the estimated 5,000 living former NHL players. Dan LaCouture, Mikel Peluso, Gary Leeman, Bernie Nicholls, Dave Christian and Reed Larson are the former players serving as six class representatives.

"We are pleased the Court has confirmed the validity of our claims and found the NHL's arguments insufficient to warrant dismissal of this case," attorneys for the plaintiffs said in a statement. "It is time for the NHL to be held accountable for deliberately ignoring and concealing the risks of repeated head impacts, and finally provide security and care to retired players whom the League has depended on for its success."

ensued, declaring title to the property in Loughridge.
The dispute arose over the ownership of the Car Wash fixtures and equipment. Weisbergs claimed title through the purchase at a foreclosure sale had on April 12, 1963, of their chattel mortgage. Loughridge claimed title as purchaser at a tax sale held on June 7, 1963, and also that Weisbergs had acquired no rights in the property at the foreclosure sale.

The Facts
Prior to April 20, 1959, Weisbergs were the owners of the Best in the West Car Wash in Long Beach, California. They leased the land upon which the business was located from White. The term of the lease was until May 14, 1960, with an option to renew the lease for an additional term of seven years, to May 14,1967. Under the provisions of the lease the lessee promised to pay all taxes assessed against the personal property, fixtures and improvements upon the premises. Unless in default, the lessee had the right to remove the fixtures and equipment during the term of the lease. Any fixtures and equipment not removed during such term became the property of the lessor, White, or, at the option of White, the lessee was required to remove said property.
On April 20, 1959, Weisbergs sold the Car Wash to Hundley, taking a promissory note for the unpaid balance of $47,000, secured by a chattel mortgage, which was duly recorded, on the furnishings, equipment and fixtures of the Car Wash. Weisbergs assigned their rights in their lease with White to Hundley with White's consent.


of $500 each, commencing November 21, 1959. Weisbergs were not aware of the sublease until they received a payment from Loughridge in November 1959. Weisbergs objected to this arrangement and thereafter received some payments from Hundley, which came late. When Hundley explained that the delay was caused by his first having to collect from Loughridge and then forward the payment to Weisbergs, the latter agreed to accept the payments directly from Loughridge. About six months after Loughridge started to operate the Car Wash under his sublease, he told Weisbergs that he wanted to buy the Car Wash, and that Hundley wanted to get off the lease. Efforts to negotiate such a sale and release fell through. No further payments were made by Hundley or Loughridge to Weisbergs afterthe taxes assessed against the personal property and fixtures at all times subsequent to November 16, 1959.
On April 12, 1963, all of the property subject to the chattel mortgage was sold at a foreclosure sale of Weisbergs' chattel mortgage to Weisbergs' agent. The procedural validity of this *420 sale is not disputed. Thereafter, Weisbergs demanded possession from Loughridge of the personal property bought in at the foreclosure sale. Loughridge has at all times thereafter refused to give possession to the Weisbergs.
On June 7, 1963, the same property was sold to Loughridge for delinquent taxes for the periods of July 1, 1961, to June 30, 1962, and July 1, 1962, to June 30, 1963. These taxes were assessed to Hundley, and the bills for such taxes were sent to


the Car Wash and were addressed to Hundley. Loughridge forwarded such bills to Hundley. Loughridge made tax payments only when requested to do so by Hundley. No one else requested that he pay the taxes though he was obligated to do so by his lease with White commencing June 15, 1962. Loughridge had notice of the tax delinquency prior to the sale, as the notice was posted on the Car Wash premises for the required statutory period. Weisbergs had no notice of either the tax delinquency or of the tax sale. Loughridge has been in continuous possession and has enjoyed the beneficial use of the Car Wash since November 1959 and is still in possession thereof.
Loughridge spent between $7,000 and $8,000 in repairing the Car Wash after thethat the plaintiff recognized the defendant's ownership of the furniture and fixtures and his right to remove them upon the expiration of the term, and that his failure to remove the property within the original term or at *428 the expiration thereof was because he did not have sufficient time within which to do so...."
Loughridge at all times had full knowledge of the existence of the chattel mortgage and the obligation thereon of Hundley to Weisbergs.
Hundley was never released from his obligation under the chattel mortgage by Weisbergs. White consistently recognized the continuing interest in the property by Hundley. Weisbergs, by foreclosure, took the interest Hundley had. Loughridge had knowledge of Hundley's interest in the equipment and the chattel mortgage, and held and used such equipment as a


pod. Even the language of the applicable Oklahoma code section (§ 11730, O.S. 1931) is substantially verbatim with that of Civil Code section 1013. In Gibson, the plaintiff sought to recover the value of certain alleged personal property on the theory the same had been wrongfully converted by the defendant. Defendant was the owner of a business building in Pauls Valley. For some years prior to March 1, 1929, one Scott Morley, as tenant, operated a restaurant therein. Morley had given Exchange National Bank a chattel mortgage on the restaurant furniture and fixtures, and the obligation so secured was past due on March 1, 1929. On March 1, 1929, Morley closed his doors and quit his business though he was tenant under a three-year lease commencing January 1,1928. He quit paying rent under his lease and delivered his key to the building to Gibson and surrendered possession, leaving furniture and fixtures in place.
The Exchange National Bank on April 10, 1929, was notified by Gibson to remove from the building property in which it claimed an interest. In process of compliance, Exchange National Bank sought to remove 29 mirrors which had been affixed to the walls by wooden pegs, three ceiling fans attached by screws to the ceiling, and a suction fan attached by bolts to the building. Gibson prevented the removal of this property, claiming title thereto by attachment to the building. This action resulted, with the Exchange National Bank claiming title to the items as personal property, properly classified as trade fixtures and removable


opinion by Justice Heydenfeldt, with Justice Wells concurring, in the case of Gaskill v. Trainer (1853) 3 Cal. 334. There, one Trainer held a leasehold subject to two conditions, payment of rent and that lessee should immediately expend $10,000 on the premises in erection of buildings. One Gaskill had a lien attached to Trainer's leasehold interest. Trainer could not comply, and delivered the premises to one Moor, in accordance with lease permission.
The lease provided that Moor may terminate tenancy on non-payment of rent; Moor elected to so terminate. It was urged that Moor, in possession at time rent became due, could not have entered on the ground of forfeiture; he could not reenter upon his own possession.

Her parents, who asked to remain anonymous, think their little girl was singled out because the family is of Middle Eastern descent. Both parents were born and raised in New Jersey.

I. Background

2
Martin entered the Nashotah House Seminary in Wisconsin in 1985. He completed the three-year program and became an ordained Episcopal priest in 1988. In 1994, while working at a parish in Jacksonville, Florida, Martin was informed that he had been accused of sexually molesting a boy while he was at Nashotah House. The boy, Carl S., claimed that Martin had molested him three separate times in the course of one evening in either the fall of 1987 or the spring of 1988. Carl S. was thirteen years old at the time of the assaults. He first raised this accusation to his therapist in 1993; the state of Wisconsin filed a criminal complaint charging Martin with three counts of second-degree sexual assault on June 14, 1994.

3
Martin'scase went to trial in 1995. At trial, Carl S. testified about the assaults and his mother testified that he began to have behavioral problems at about the same time period. Denise Watson Gilbreath, a Florida attorney, and Officer Charles Morancheck also testified for the prosecution. Martin's claim stems, in part, from the testimony of these two individuals.

4
Gilbreath is a former prosecutor with experience in sexual abuse cases involving children. She was a member of the Jacksonville parish where Martin worked and was approached by him in 1993 to help develop a policy for dealing with allegations of sexual misconduct in the parish. Gilbreath testified that Martin strongly disagreed with the policy recommendation she eventually helped develop. Specifically, she stated that Martin became very agitated and felt that


the policy needed to ensure that people accusing ministers of sexual abuse were telling the truth before the parish involved the police. Gilbreath testified that she felt that this was an inappropriate reaction that focused too greatly on protecting the accused clergymen, not the accusers.

5
Officer Morancheck testified regarding his meeting with Martin and his attorney in March 1994. He had previously called Martin and confirmed that he had been informed of the allegations against him. Morancheck stated that at the meeting Martin, on the advice of counsel, provided only biographical information and did not answer questions about Carl S.'s allegations. Morancheck testified that after describing the accusations to him, Martin did not make any verbal responses, but raised an eyebrow and pursed his lips.

6
Martin testified in his ownMartin's defense counsel performed deficiently for failing to make the proper objections. By the state court's logic, Martin's reaction to Gilbreath's proposal and his emphasis on protecting clergy from false accusations shows that he was conscious of his own guilt and seeking to protect himself. This argument doesn't wash. First, Martin was not even aware of the accusations against him at the time of his interactions with Gilbreath. Moreover, his contact with Gilbreath was in a completely different jurisdiction and several years after the time of the alleged assaults. Second, and most important, a belief that clergy should be protected from false allegations of sexual misconduct and afforded due process does not imply a guilty conscience. Martin's actions in Florida had no bearing on his arrest or prosecution


The Muslim congregation at a suburban Adelaide mosque where a worshipper was attacked last week has been overwhelmed by a show of public support in the wake of the incident.

After evening prayer on Friday, the worshipper was punched in the face at Marion Mosque at Park Holme by a member of the public.

The victim was struck after refusing to answer questions about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, stating that he did not have the necessary insight.

When a local television station did a program about the closing of the major steel mills in the Pittsburgh region, Ray Henderson, a former mill worker who had worked in the mills for 18 years, couldn’t help but notice that not one Black worker was shown. This despite the fact that African-American workers had formed a critical part of the labor force in western Pennsylvania for 125 years.

With his old friend and independent filmmaker Tony Buba, Henderson set out to collaborate on a history of African-Americans and their contributions not just to the steel industry, but to the labor movement itself. Through eloquent living witnesses and revelatory archival footage, the film presents a striking counterpoint to the stereotypical Black male image.

Lord Scarman produced a report in 1981 based on the riots in Brixton and other areas and the underlying causes behind them. He believed that many young people in Britain, black and white, faced living in impoverished conditions with little scope for bettering themselves causing them to hit out in frustration. Many raised in one parent family situations, on welfare and failing the educational system then go onto achieve very little success in the job market.

Iowa's Chuck Grassley, Steve King Back Gay Marriage Ban DOMA

Two Iowa lawmakers – Senator Chuck
Grassley and Rep. Steve King – on Wednesday testified in favor of
the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).

DOMA, which was signed into law by
President Bill Clinton in 1996, bans federal agencies from
recognizing the legal marriages of gay and lesbian couples.

During a Senate Judiciary Committee
that lasted more than 2 hours, several gay couples testified that
they had been harmed by the law.

Ron Wallen of Indio, California told
the panel that his income dropped by more than two-thirds after his
husband Tom died from Leukemia. Wallen said he could not access
Social Security survivor benefits because of DOMA.

“That additional benefit would have
done for me what it does for every other surviving spouse in America:
Ease the pain of loss, help during aand operation of the first to the third latching units 190_1 to 190_3 are apparent to those skilled in the art and thus explanation for the configuration and operation of the latching unit is omitted.
Hereinafter, the operation of the semiconductor memory device illustrated in FIG. 1 is described.
First of all, the external clock CLK_EXT is outputted as the synchronization clock signal CLK_SYN via the clock buffering unit 110 and the synchronization clock generating unit 130. The synchronization clock signal CLK_SYN is inputted to the first to the third latching units 190_1 to 190_3 almost simultaneously.
Meanwhile, the first to the third signal input units 150_1 to 150_3 respectively compare the first to the third input signals IN1 to IN3 inputted through the plurality of pads (not shown) with an


the first to the third signal input units 150_1 to 150_3 are delayed in the first to the third delay units 170_1 to 170_3 by the delay times reflected to the first to the third delay units 170_1 to 170_3, respectively. The delayed signals are transferred to the first to the third latching units 190_1 to 190_3. While the first to the third signal input units 150_1 to 150_3 are disposed close to the corresponding pads, the first to the third latching units 190_1 to 190_3 gather on one place. Therefore, if the first to the third delay units 170_1 to 170_3 are not employed in the semiconductor memory device, the output signals of the first to the third signal input units 150_1 to 150_3 may be transferredto the first to the third latching units 190_1 to 190_3 at different points of time. That is, it is impossible to secure stable setup times between the synchronization clock signal CLK_SYN and the output signals transferred from the first to the third signal input units 150_1 to 150_3 to the first to the third latching units 190_1 to 190_3.
Therefore, in order to secure the setup times, the first to the third delay units 170_1 to 170_3 provide different delay times to the output signals of the first to the third signal input units 150_1 to 150_3 and output the delayed signals generated by reflecting the different delay times. As a result, the first to the third latching units 190_1 to 190_3 receive data at the same points

A Pet Medium's Journey - Ponce the Cat

This was my most challenging and interesting case to date. The cat and her family are so private, they have all requested that their names be changed. So they have been. I introduce you to Ponce the cat and her hu-mom Maria and future hu-dad Jose. Here's Ponce's story:

Ponce is a very fearful and private cat. She is known for being invisible when company comes over. She has been with Maria her whole life since she was a kitten and it's known that she was taken from her cat mother too early and never really recovered. She has shown herself 3 times to Jose since he has been coming around Maria's house for the last year. This isroom... a sacred space for Maria. When she heard it was in the cellar, that turned her sour. Maria offered a different room out of the cellar. A small room with a desk, but no hiding places. Ponce would rather be in the Spirit room even if it means being in the cellar. Her response to the smaller room was, "no no no no no no no no no."

Maria described a guest room with a king sized bed and really comfy blankets. Ponce immediately responded, "That's my room!" When she spoke of the room they would share as a family, with a king sized bed that would have plenty of room for both humans and cats, Ponce imagined herself stretching between them against each of their legs, cuddled


in the blankets and thought, "that's my spot."

At the news of 3 levels of rooms and exploration, Ponce was intrigued. She knew she would be hiding on the upper floor when guests came to visit. She saw lots of possibility by the end of Maria's description of the future home.

In fact, Ponce was no longer in the corner crouched and fearful. She was away from the wall, peeking out, curious and wondering.

Maria wanted me to make sure Ponce knew this was Jose's house they were moving into. I began my connection again with Ponce.

Prior to going, I knew little about Bilzerian, other than the fact that everyone I mentioned his name to reacted with genuine horror. When I checked out his Wikipedia, I found it made for colourful reading. From humble beginnings as the son of a corporate takeover specialist, Dan managed to pull himself up by the bootstraps and make his fortune as a professional poker player.

He was once banned from a Miami nightclub for kicking a model in the face. A different, 18-year-old model also sued him after he threw her from the roof of his house into a swimming pool. She did consent to this, but still… maybe don't throw a teenager off

We made for a strange group: there was us, a couple of other journalists and photographers, and then seven glamorous young women who were being led around to be photographed. I wasn't sure what their deal was, but later learned that some of them are signed to Ignite's modelling wing and had been flown out from the States for the occasion.

I was intrigued by this arrangement. On the one hand they're employees attending a work event in a professional capacity, which isn't that deep.

Charlotte Harris: 'Sorry' means something else at News International

What was News International thinking when it released its statement of its intention to apologise on Friday? Getting an apology out of the News of the World has never been easy. Normally, after weeks of front-page splashes and sensational headlines, a tiny, mealy-mouthed apology appears in what feels like the gardening section. So the surprise announcement by News International that it had "decided to approach some civil litigants with an unreserved apology" raised the question of whether such apologies were also going to be in the usual house style.

There are some serious qualifications to this "unreserved apology". It is limited only to voicemail interception during the years 2004-2006. There is no admission or apology for anybody who believes that theyyears that their phones were unsafe? To take credit for the reopening of the Met investigation while offering a qualified apology is perverse.

But at least NI is finally admitting that it owes at least some people an apology. Yet it is difficult not to feel cynical. The News of the World has found itself in an untenable position, with orders for disclosure against it, the Met, Glenn Mulcaire, and Vodafone. NI has been caught in a compromising position and been exposed, and so is simply adopting the standard journalistic ploy of taking control of the story. It is difficult to consider the statement as other than damage limitation.

Now a case management conference looms, which the parties representing the civil litigants, the defendants, and other third parties will attend,


Along the country roads that fan out from Ogallala, Neb., there are abandoned, weathered old farmhouses and collapsed barns, remnants of the hardscrabble settlers who first tapped the Ogallala aquifer and turned the dry, high plains into lush wheat and corn fields.

One year after the deadly white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., experts who monitor domestic extremism in the United States are taking stock of where the far-right movement stands.

This year there were only 26 seniors in the graduating class.

Thousands of service workers marched on campuses across California on Wednesday, marking the final push of a planned three-day strike that began earlier this week.

Honduran Deana Quczada peels back her young daughter's black hair to reveal a deep scar on her forehead. She was beaten, Quczada says, six months ago as part of an apparent revenge attack on her family by gangs that Quczada's husband may have been mixed up with. When her daughter was released after spending a month in


the hospital, Quczada immediately fled with her north in hopes of making it to the United States, where she could ask for political asylum.

I've heard that if you ask the U.S. for help, they will give it, she says in Spanish.

In the West, they are burning hotter and more intensely than ever due to climate change, and the situation is


made worse by the explosion of development in fire prone areas and past firefighting decisions. Here are three reasons the fires are massive and likely won't abate anytime soon.

The destructive wildfires in Southern California are capping one of the worst fire seasons on record in the state. They come less than two months after thousands of homes burned and more than 40 people were killed by fires in Northern California. Climatologists warn that this is the new reality for the region, where wildfires are occurring year-round.

Los Angeles residents Neil Fazzari and his wife, Kirsten, are stunned to see such a large wildfire this late in the year. "It was a shock this morning when our neighbors knocked on our door," Kirsten said.

President Trump has dramatically scaled back twonational land monuments in Utah. The administration and Republican leaders in Utah say taking the land out of the hands of the federal government will allow the state to decide what to do with it, including protecting some areas and possibly allowing development in others.

On a visit to Utah on Monday, President Trump announced his proclamations dramatically shrinking the size of the state's two massive national monuments, Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante. Taken together, Trump's orders mark the largest reversal of national monument protections in U.S. history.

The change has already been challenged in court by conservation groups.

In praise of Owen Paterson and the Tory/UUP deal

Whilst Tony Blair-style Northern Ireland clichés about "the hand of history" are probably best avoided, it certainly marks the beginning of a new chapter in Northern Ireland politics and is another step on the road to "normalising" politics in the province.

And it must not be underestimated how much credit is due to Owen Paterson, the shadow Northern Ireland secretary, for bringing this deal about.

It was over a year ago that he quietly began putting feelers out to like-minded individuals in the UUP about seriously bringing the parties closer together again. He then met UUP leader Sir Reg Empey at the beginning of this year, after which a secret working group was established to discuss the matter further.

Amazingly, this close-knit grouplarceny in the Criminal District Court of the Parish of Orleans, Louisiana, on April 4, 1902, and sentenced to three years' imprisonment, which conviction and sentence were thereafter affirmed by the Supreme Court of Louisiana. 109 La. 603. They have brought the case here by writ of error.

On the trial the district attorney offered to-read the testimony of one Thebaud, after having proved that he was permanently absent from the State and was a non-resident thereof, and that his attendance could not be procured. It appeared that the plaintiffs in error had been arrested and charged with the crime for which they were then on trial, and had been brought before the judge of the City Criminal Court, sitting as a committing magistrate, and upon the hearing before


him, in the presence of the plaintiffs in error and their counsel, the witness Thebaud had been produced and examined orally, and cross-examined by the counsel for plaintiffs in error. The offer of the district attorney, after he had made this proof, to read the testimony thus taken upon the preliminary examination, was objected to by counsel for plaintiffs in error on various grounds, the material one now urged being that it was not shown that the witness whose deposition was proposed to be read was dead, insane or sick, nor that he was absent by the procurement of the plaintiffs in error or their counsel, and it was insisted that the reading of that testimony would be in violation of the act of 1805, being now section976 of the Revised Statutes of Louisiana, and of article 9 of the bill of rights and constitution of that State, and also would violate the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments of the Constitution of the United States.

The act of 1805 reads as follows:

"All crimes, offences and misdemeanors shall be taken, intended and construed according to and in conformity with the common law of England; and the forms of indictment (divested, however, of unnecessary prolixity), the method of trial, the rules of evidence and all other proceedings whatsoever in the prosecution of crimes, offences and misdemeanors, changing what ought to be changed, shall be according to the common law, unless otherwise provided." Acts, 1805, p. 440, sec. 33.

Article 9 of the constitution of 1898 of the State of Louisiana


Amendment upon the part of the State through its judicial department.

For many years the Supreme Court of Louisiana has held that upon such facts as were proved in this case it was proper to admit a deposition as evidence upon the trial of the accused; that in such circumstances he had been confronted with the witnesses within the meaning of the constitution and laws of the State. Many cases were cited by the Supreme Court in the opinion in this case as authority for the proposition it laid down, and, after having cited them, the court, in its opinion, continued:

"A reference to these various decisions will show that this court has repeatedly permitted the introduction in evidence of testimony of witnesses which had been taken down in writingon a preliminary examination, when the presence of the witnesses themselves at the trial could not be obtained. In the case before us the witnesses whose written testimony was so received were permanently absent from the State, the accused were present at the examination and cross-examined the witnesses. The jurisprudence of the State on the subject fully warranted the action of the District Court in permitting the testimony to be introduced."

Counsel for the plaintiffs in error in their brief used in this court concede that the law of Louisiana, as stated in the above extract from the opinion of the court in this case, "is absolutely indisputable," but they nevertheless urge that the decisions are founded in error and are in violation of the constitution and mandatory statute,


conflict with some specific provision of the Federal Constitution.

As was said in Brown v. New Jersey, supra:

"The State is not tied down by any provision of the Federal Constitution to the practice and procedure which existed at the common law. Subject to the limitations heretofore named, it may avail itself of the wisdom gathered by the experience of the century to make such changes as may be necessary. For instance, while at the common law an indictment by the grand jury was an essential preliminary to trial for felony, it is within the power of a State to abolish the grand jury entirely and proceed by information."

The limit of the full control which the State has in the proceedings of its courts, both in civil and criminal cases,States, 98 U.S. 145, which was a prosecution for bigamy in the Territory of Utah under section 5352, Revised Statutes of the United States, it was held that when there was some proof that an absent witness was kept away by procurement of the defendant the burden of proof was on him to show (having full opportunity therefor) that he was not instrumental in concealing or keeping the witness away. If the defendant failed, he was in no condition to assert his constitutional right to be confronted with the witness.

In Mattox v. United States, 156 U.S. 237, the indictment was for murder, and it was found in the United States District Court of Kansas. It was held that the testimony of a former witness of the government, once


U.S. 47, which was the case of an indictment in the District Court of the United States for the Southern Division of the District of South Dakota, it was held that, admitting the judgment convicting the three persons of stealing postage stamps under the circumstances stated in the case, under the provisions of the act of Congress of March 3, 1875, chap. 144, section 2, that such judgment "shall be conclusive evidence against said receiver, that the property of the United States therein described has been embezzled, stolen or purloined," was improper in that the provision of the statute violated the clause of the Constitution of the United States declaring that in all criminal prosecutions the accused should be confronted with the witnesses against him, and the judgmentwas, therefore, reversed.

In Motes v. United States, 178 U.S. 458, which was an indictment under section 5508 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, it was held that the admission upon the trial of written statements made by one Taylor at the preliminary examination was in violation of the rights of the accused under the Sixth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States, declaring that in all criminal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the right to be confronted with the witnesses against him. It was so held because, as the court found, the absence of the witness was manifestly due to the negligence of the officers of the government. The witness was a witness for the prosecution and had been once committed to jail without bail,


November 7, 1988, State Farm filed a motion for protective order in which it stated that the depositions were requested on twenty eight days notice, that its lead counsel, O'Doherty, was unavailable on the dates indicated, that some of the material requested was not discoverable and asked that the depositions be scheduled in Baltimore. On November 14, 1988, the trustee responded with an opposition to State Farm's motion for protective order and requested that the time for production be shortened by two days. On the same date, the trustee also filed a motion to compel discovery and for sanctions.
The motion for protective order was scheduled for hearing on November 14, 1988. Judge Bowling heard the matter in chambers and no record was made of the proceeding. Exactly whatFarm to comply with all of the comprehensive dictates of the notice filed on October 18, 1988. It is apparent that the existence of this order, imposing onerous requirements on State Farm, set the stage for the default subsequently entered.
This is not intended as a criticism of Judge Bowling in signing the order. The action taken by him is understandable in view of the prior discovery problems involving loss of the State Farm claims file and concomitant inability on the part of State Farm to answer interrogatories fully. The court was also making strenuous efforts to reach a trial date in the Spring of 1989. Nevertheless, the existence of the November 14, 1988 order gave the trustee a lever which he, assisted by State Farm's intransigence, skillfully used


to secure the default.
The deposition proceeded as scheduled on November 15 and 16, 1988 in Bloomington, Indiana. State Farm produced its corporate designee, Francis X. Comella, Jr., who testified for two days in a deposition comprising 288 pages. A fair reading of the deposition reveals that Comella testified in a forthright manner. During the course of the two days, there were a few areas of inquiry at which State Farm, through its counsel, balked. On the whole, those areas were not extensive and primarily involved matters to which State Farm had reasonable objections deserving of judicial review. Parenthetically, the need of State Farm to object, seemingly in the face of a court order, was a direct result of the order of November 14, 1988 which, clearly, should nothave been entered without adequate notice to State Farm and a reasonable opportunity to contest.
On December 2, 1988, the trustee sought sanctions against State Farm for failure to obey the discovery order of November 14, 1988. Subsequently, on December 29, 1988, the trustee filed a supplemental memorandum in support of his motion for default, for sanctions, to compel discovery, and for other relief. In his motion and supplemental memorandum, the trustee alleged that State Farm had refused to obey the court order of November 14, 1988, had refused to designate any witness to testify concerning the corporate policies respecting claims which exceeded the policy limits, had refused to designate any witness to testify respecting its policies concerning claims against the company for bad faith or negligent handling of


State Farm's counsel, without prior knowledge, the morning of November 14, 1988 and was signed by the court immediately following a chambers conference.
The trustee contends that State Farm has not preserved this issue for appeal. The trustee further avers that State Farm's current objection was not raised before Judge Bowling. Unfortunately, we are unable to determine whether the trustee is correct, since the hearing before Judge Bowling on November 14, 1988 was in chambers and was apparently not recorded. The parties first addressed this issue on the record during a January 19, 1989 hearing before Judge Nalley wherein State Farm made an oral motion requesting the court to strike the November 14, 1988 order. State Farm objected to the order because it was entered without notice and becausealong the lines of the foregoing. According to Mr. Shadoan's count, State Farm's counsel instructed Mr. Mecherle not to answer over thirty times during the course of the deposition. Our reading gives us no reason to question the accuracy of his arithmetic. In addition, State Farm failed to produce certain specified documents. Faced squarely with the ultimate sanction of default, State Farm adamantly refused to obey Judge Nalley's order of January 19, 1989. On March 14, 1989, after reading the Mecherle deposition and hearing arguments of counsel, Judge Nalley refused to strike the default entered on January 19, 1989.
In summary, on the question of default, we find that, at the outset, Judge Bowling erred in entering the order of November 14, 1988. On January 19, 1989, Judge Nalley


likes to do his own bit terraforming with this gift from nature. Each morning after a good storm he is out with his pickup truck “harvesting” the red dirt drying in rippled patches across the hillside roads. In this way he both keeps the roads passable for others and is gradually building up his hillside in terraced plots bathed in sunset colors of ochre and terra cotta.

I once knew a man who lived on the edge of Wet Beaver Creek near Rimrock. He came into a bit of money and decided to improve a property at the edge of the creek. For weeks the ‘dozers plowed and shifted and mounded the soil just so, building a fine peninsula in the creek for his house to rest upon.

It waslovely little cottage, really, with wonderful sweeping 360 degree views. But it was an unusually wet season that year, and each storm undercut the newly formed bank a little more. Finally one day the mother of all storms hit, with two inches of rain in less than an hour.

The last I saw of that house, it was sailing merrily down a flood-swollen torrent of red muddy water. He never did rebuild, and the last I heard, the land was up for auction to another unsuspecting tourist wanting a piece of red rock country.

Those same sunset colors of pink and red and orange give depth and movement to the rock formations in rainy weather. After a storm, the Bell Rock sandstone formation is transformed by the water. The rock


turns ominously dark, soaking up the moisture. When the storm is over, the rock releases the moisture in a cascade of short-term waterfalls that reflect the turquoise blue of the rain-washed skies overhead.

The trees also look cleaner after a storm, more green. A texture of pine cones and gray-green juniper berries drop after the rains to form windrows on the road surface. They skitter under the tires of passing cars and make walking uncertain at best.

Rocks wash down on the road, softball-sized pieces of rock that roll across the roads in crests of storm-driven water.

The drive up Oak Creek, from Pump House Wash to the canyon rim can be particularly treacherous as boulders as big as washing machines are undercut by the rains, and drop suddenly down onbirding areas in Arizona.

The marsh has an interesting history. With only 10-12 inches of rain per year, Arizona counts any water source as precious, and Tavasci Marsh is the largest fresh water marsh in Arizona outside the Colorado River Basin.

It was formed when the Verde River formed an ox-bow, a sharp, almost U-turn in the river, and, then capriciously, returned to a straighter course. The water left by the abandoning river created Tavasci Marsh, which continues to be fed by Shea Spring and by underground seeps from the river.

The marsh was a food source for the Sinagua Indians who built a large hundred-room pueblo on the top of a nearby mountain, now managed as Tuzigoot National Monument. Their first dwellings were dated about 1000 AD, and it wasn’t


until almost 900 years later that the first white settler arrived.

He was a cattle farmer in the 1890s, whose name, Tavasci, was given to the marsh. He drained the wetlands so that he could raise beef cattle to feed to the copper miners working in the nearby boom town of Jerome.

The owners of these copper mines, which stripped incredibly rich copper ore from Mingus Mountain, eventually acquired the marsh. The huge copper smelters in Clarkdale were only a few miles beyond the marsh on higher ground. This geography, coupled with the fact that mining operations were so imprecise in the early days, caused Tavasci Marsh to become highly polluted with heavy metals, from slag and tailing run-offs.

Even today, there are high levels of arsenic, barium, cadmium, lead andother poisonous metals in the soil and even the insects of the marsh. A restoration project has been proposed to change this unfortunate state of affairs!

Spring cat tails at Tavasci Marsh

When the mines closed down in the 50s, the land reverted to a more natural state, and beaver had a renaissance. Their dams turned the dairy farm lands back into a wetlands marsh.

The desert mesquites and acacia trees were drowned by the rising waters, but they provided an ideal environment for cat tails. Today, much of the marsh is inundated by these tall marsh plants, so much so that open water is increasingly rare.

Doug van Gausig has been called the Bird Man of Tavasci Marsh, and sometimes hosts field trips to Tavasci Marsh during the annual Verde Valley


impetus was to share the beautiful Verde Valley with the world. The area is a paradox, a small valley with one major river and five named creeks in the middle of a state, Arizona, renown for its deserts.

The first novel, Death in Copper Town, introduced the fictional small town of Mingus, located in the mountains that were made famous during their copper mining heydays. The second, Blood in Tavasci Marsh, continues exploration of this setting bymoving down the hill to the Native American Indian Ruins at Tuzigoot and the marsh below it.

Setting can involve time, as well. What better time of year to visit a ghost town than at Halloween? In this second novel, Mingus prepares for the holiday in typical small town fashion: Pegasus visits the oldmining cemetery, Isabel prepares for the Day of the Dead ceremonies, and the entire town, shops and all, decorate for the holiday with skeletons and pumpkins.

Weather is another ingredient of setting. The second novel in the series takes place in the volatile autumn season in Mingus, where one day is sweltering hot, and the next brings an ice storm that paralyzes the Valley. Both will influence how the story develops and resolves.

Semillon is a variety originating from the Bordeaux region of France, which is characterized by a climate with relatively mild average summer temperature, high humidity, and ample precipitation. In vineyards of NSW and other warm, dry grape-growing regions across Australia, Semillon vines exhibit symptoms of wilting and partial dieback of the leaf margins, and this is aggravated by exposure to hot days during ripening. Other varieties grown adjacent to Semillon and managed similarly do not experience foliar dieback to the same severity as Semillon. The present work was aimed at understanding the causes for Semillon\'s vulnerability to water stress, to classify this variety as isohydric or anisohydric, and toStuart attacks life with new zeal

"Kit" Bond, who as Missouri governor in 1976 rescinded the 1838 "extermination order," authorizing the expulsion of Mormons from the state, has been honored by the Mormon History Association for his action 34 years ago.

At the Friday evening awards banquet of its annual conference, the association gave Bond its Thomas L. Kane Award for outstanding service to the Mormon community by a non-Mormon.

Absent because of a scheduling conflict, the senator sent a recorded video message and acceptance of the award.

"You bet I'd do it again," Bond declared regarding his rescission of Gov. Lilburn W. Boggs' 1838 order. "The treatment of the Mormon people in Missouri in the 1830s and beyond was barbaric. Women were raped and tortured. Men were killed


the extermination order in 1976."

Bond said Missouri is now home to more than 100,000 Mormons.

His action rescinding the order was facilitated by a contact from Lyman Edwards, a leader in St. Joseph, Mo., of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Speaking to the audience after Bond's message was shown, Edwards said he contacted then-Gov. Bond in 1975 asking if he would be amenable to rescinding the order. He received an encouraging reply from the governor saying he might be interested.

In February 1976, Edwards recounted that he, his wife and a local Episcopal priest approached the governor at a Republican party banquet about the prospect. Ultimately, Bond attended the conference of Edwards' congregation, and Edwards accepted Bond's executive order "on behalf of the saints ofthe Restoration movement."

Prior to the presentation to Bond, the association awarded a special citation to the Missouri State Archives for a significant contribution to the study of Mormon history.

In presenting the citation, association executive director Patricia Lyn Scott said that in September 2006, the archives and the Columbia Missouri Stake of the LDS Church co-sponsored a conference of history in commemoration of Mormon history in Missouri. To complement that event, the archives began digitizing records related to Mormon history and making them accessible on a website. The records included the 1838 extermination order.

Also at the awards banquet, Richard and Claudia Bushman, prominent Mormon scholars, each were presented the Leonard J. Arrington Award for distinguished and meritorious service to Mormon history.

The association also gave the following awards for articles

But that's just not enough for glamorous Dubai - it's set to build a $US1 billion ($976 million) replica of the Taj Mahal.

Dubbed "Taj Arabia", the massive complex will house a 300-room five-star hotel, apartments, restaurants, shops and offices.

The developers hope it will be a destination for weddings.

"The Taj is made as a monument of love and we hope to promote this in Dubai as a major wedding destination," developer Arun Mehra said.

It will sit within the 227-square kilometre Dubailand, which the city hopes will be "the world's greatest theme park". Home to mock versions of the seven wonders of the world, it will be twice the size of all the Disneyland and Disney World resorts


combined.

The Taj will be part of the Falcon City section, a large area of land designed to resemble a falcon spreading its wings. It's due for completion in 2014.

The Taj Mahal, in Agra, India, was built in the 17th century and is known as "a teardrop on the cheek of time".

Living it up: Outrageous hotel pamperingPaley Library hosts DACA panel

Paley Library hosted the panel event, “Creating a Welcoming Campus Community in 2017,” on Wednesday to support students affected by President Donald Trump’s plan to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, also known as DACA.

DACA was created in 2012 under former President Barack Obama to offer protections to the children of immigrants who entered the United States illegally. DACA protects participants, also known as Dreamers, from being deported and allows them to receive a work permit as long as they meet certain requirements.

The library event was organized by Paley librarian Rebecca Lloyd and media studies and production professor Larisa Mann. The two also worked to create an event last spring about offering sanctuary spaces and protection for undocumented immigrants.

Wednesday’s panel event was


part of a series of programs called Beyond the Page, which includes exhibitions, concerts, workshops and other community-centered events.

Mann spoke on the panel, along with Jennifer Lee, an immigration law professor at the Beasley School of Law; Tiffenia Archie, assistant vice president at the Institutional Diversity, Equity, Advocacy and Leadership office; Jessica Sandberg, director of International Admissions; Adan Mairena, pastor at West Kensington Ministry and Juan, a Dreamer and junior at the Tyler School of Art, who did not want his last name published.

The panelists discussed what the university is doing to make itself more inclusive for international students and those protected by DACA. For instance, Sandberg created a video to go along with the hashtag #YouAreWelcomeHere, which she said is meant to send a worldwide message aboutthe success of American education in the future.

Heart-Attack Victim Searches for Stranger Who Saved His Life

Toronto resident Jason Kroft, his wife and their two young children came to New York city earlier this month to visit Kroft's brother-in-law, Andrew Zeller. Zeller was giving the Canadian family a tour of 30 Rockefeller Plaza when Kroft, who had no history of heart disease, went into cardiac arrest, fell to the ground and stopped breathing.

As his wife screamed for help, a red-haired stranger in a blazer and dress pants emerged from the crowd, stuck his briefcase under Kroft's head and began applying cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The CPR was so forceful that it broke a couple of Kroft's ribs. It was also exactly what was needed to save his life.

"If he hadn't done CPR compression between cardiac arrest and thetime the ambulance arrived, Jason would have severe brain damage," Zeller told Yahoo.

Once at the hospital, Kroft underwent triple-bypass surgery. He also had to have his body chilled to 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) for 24 hours because doctors found that he had suffered two brain aneurysms.

Despite all of this, Kroft is expected to return to normal, eventually.

Now Kroft's family wants to find the quick-thinking stranger, who disappeared into the crowd after the paramedics arrived. Zeller has put 20 signs up around Rockefeller Plaza in hopes the red-headed man will see one and reveal himself.


thought policing. This was nicely described by Jonathan Haidt, social psychologist and Professor of Ethical Leadership at New York University in a recent podcast with author Sam Harris. (Skip to 1 hour 30 minutes in the long discussion.)

The religion got started on the campuses, where social science careerists ginned up an elaborate doctrine to justify the self-importance of their new departments in so-called race, gender, and privilege studies — the main point of which was to create new categories of sacred victims suffering spiritual torments (“traumas”) that could never be healed. These crypto-religious “studies” led to a multiplication of demons that had to be exorcized by an equal multiplication of diversity deans and committees aimed at punishing blasphemies — such as arguing against affirmative action (“racist”), or wearinga Mexican sombrero at a tequila party (“cultural appropriation” + “racist”), which happened recently at posh Bowdoin College.

The hysteria incited by the academic diversity corps spread readily and easily into Democratic Party politics, where badly-needed minority votes could be harvested to shore up the dwindling votes of traditional supporters such as labor unions, and make up for (you might say cover up) the Party’s complete surrender to both Wall Street and the war industry.

The religion of the social justice warriors, got a huge boost with the deaths, and subsequent canonization of the new mega-saints, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, and other black youths who were killed under circumstances that were, at least, ambiguous, and, at most, due to their own poor judgment and misbehavior.

figuring is what happens when the political crisis of the moment is amped up by the financial and economic train wreck that is certain to come before the fall elections.

Taking in consideration that General Breedlove left his post and new NATO Secretary General will be appointed in the new situation, we should recognize that everything is logical: Obama once again returned to power in the United States and Obama always tried to save Assad from Hillary and her hangers-on Saudi Arabia and Turkey, and the operation of Russian Air Force in Syria has reached all its objectives.

Indeed, Obama has contributed to the rescue of Assad no less than Putin, in the sense that it was more difficult for him because of his proximity to the epicenter of Clintonism.

Khrushchev was a great traitor who committed a Nazi coup in Russia in 1953. Luckily, he was removed in 1963, but not before he caused a great damage, including destruction of private farming and private small and medium enterprise in Russia.

By 1953 in the USSR there were 114,000 private cooperatives, shops and enterprises of different directions – from the food to the metalworking and from jewelry to the chemical industry.

They employed about 2 million people, which produced almost 6% of the GDP of the USSR. Private enterprises produced 40% of furniture, 70% of the metal ware, more than a third of all knitwear,states like California, Oregon, Washington State, etc.

The CW was that Bernie was finished after New Hampshire. Bernie is just getting warmed up…

Damocles’ sword hangs over Hillary. She can be out of the race any day now.

Ryan or Kasich … but Trump will never become president. A bigot and demagogue who insults Mexicans, Muslims, women, war hero veterans, the disabled, gays, immigrants, youth, etc. is not going to win in the general election.

The entire world looks at the Trump in Ohio and wonders whether the party apparatus will take away from Trump and Cruz their victory. And in fact this issue as well as many others is being resolved in Missouri, where the situation repeats 2000 in Florida.

Hillary has stated quite clearly: “I will win all the remaining states,


and I will be president of the USA, and get my hands on the red button and I do not care about the results of the vote, US law, Congress, Senate, President Obama, the United Nations, International law, do not care! AT ALL!

U.K. Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond attacked President Vladimir Putin over Russia’s intervention in Syria even as he began to pull his troops out of the Middle Eastern country, saying that welcoming the withdrawal would be like lauding a husband who’d given up beating his wife.

A rational man. Trump rallies are official events now that the Secret Service are there. He would be within his rights to have the disruptors prosecuted. Yet the punk who attacked him was released. Trump is kind – perhaps too much so.

Color Revolution and Maidan Technologies applied to American Elections

On Saturday night, March 12 electoral battles spread to the streets of American cities. Supporters and opponents of the leader of the Republican primaries Donald Trump stood face to face, it came to physical contact. Police had to intervene.

Trump was planning his meeting with supporters at the stadium of the University of Illinois in Chicago. People from all over the state were drawn to the place of rendezvous. Many arrived in advance and took place in a long line at the


13 online edition published an article describing in detail the preparation and implementation of a conspiracy to disrupt the speech of Donald Trump.

In charge of all that preparations were representatives of socialist and anarchist cells, as well as people from the movement Black Lives Matter. Coordination in the evening event was conducted through a mobile application WhatsApp.

According to the plan of the conspirators, in earlier determined time up the main protest forces had to join up with those inside the stadium. And this maneuver was a success. The police had already suspected something was wrong, and cordoned off the area, and then fenced it using portable iron fences. This, perhaps, helped to avoid the development of events on the worst-case scenario.

Inside the stadium, the conspirators were coordinated bypost-graduate student (and part-time Black Lives Matter activist) Nathaniel Lewis (I suspect that the name and surname were changed by the reporter). Everyone was waiting for his command through WhatsApp network – during a speech protesters were simultaneously to start shouting anti-Trump slogans, and a group of five to seven people – to break into the scene and seize the microphone.

Thus activists of the African-American movement Black Lives Matter have disrupted activities of Bernie Sanders and Chris Christie in the past. Such well-prepared action against Donald Trump has not yet carried out – usually small groups of protesters that were rather quickly neutralized and expelled from the venue of the meeting.
Trump was already aware of what happened, from his security personnel who worked in the hall. In the


towards Germany. Both sides of the border the hysteria, fanned by the social media, had taken hold.

The internet is full of a kind of hysteria in the shape of insane conspiracy theories. In England the wave of hysteria set off by the unmasking (following his death) of the flamboyant disc jockey and charity fund-raiser, Jimmy Savile, led to a vast police investigation of child abuse and paedophile rings involving the rich and the famous, and a number of innocent and elderly entertainers have been locked up to massed indignation and applause. (It appears that the cases taken against Bill Cosby in the US are following a similar pattern.)

Savile has been described as one of the worst serial child abusers in British history, guilty of multiple rapes of children,– 1989, when the youngest member of Politburo was over 80 years old, forgetting about much more successful for Russia confrontations of the Cold War

Korean War (1950 – 1953) – United States put together a coalition of 17 countries totaling 1,100,000 soldiers – just US troops were about 500,000 soldiers.

Russia had there about 20,000 troops, 525 Pilots of MIG-15, the rest – military advisors and anti-aircraft system’s crews.

Result – officially a tie, but in reality Americans lost that war, loosing 58,000 soldiers.
Russian losses – couple of hundreds.

Vietnam War (1965 – 1974) – United States had a total number of troops around 550,000, Russians – about 6,300. Americans lost 54,000 plus 300,000 wounded, Russians – just 14 service members died of various illnesses.

And Americans totally lost that war.

Not only


State Hillary Clinton. Even defense ministers obviously were not privy to the plan of unleashing World War IV, as the displacement of Mubarak allowed “Muslim Brotherhood” for a short time to seize power in Egypt, who managed to send weapons to their Salafi friends in Benghazi, and Libya was set ablaze.

Although Obama has miraculously won in the 2012 elections, and the first thing he did was to throw Hillary Clinton out of the Department of State, and President Mursi out of the presidential palace in Cairo, but it was too late.

Understanding the US election campaign, the war in the Middle East, Ukraine and the South China Sea are determined by the “Arab spring” and the election campaign of 2012.

Hillary & Co. are counting on the fact that peopledo not remember what happened even six months ago, to say nothing of what happened 2 years ago. But she is wrong – people do remember and now the calculation is that the Americans are too afraid of a civil war and will resignedly allow the capture of power in US by the Neocons.

Jeremiah Johnson was a great Indian Fighter, Mountain Man, Trapper – and Friend and Guide to the Pioneers. He was a master of the no holds barred frontier style of fighting known as “gouging”. He once killed a giant Black with a leaping kick to the head.

This, and his occasional cannibalism (picked up from the Indians no doubt) was left out of the Robert Redford movie for some reason.

If Trump fails to pick 1237 votes,


if he lags behind by just one vote, according to the law the delegates during the Convention could vote for anyone, including the Speaker Paul Ryan who in 2012 had almost become a vice president in Mitt Romney administration if God did not unleash on the US East coast hurricane Sandy.

Harvard Law professor Susan Crawford and former special assistant to President Obama has written a blog post setting out the reason why she believes it is legally impossible for the FBI to win its case. The piece is entitled ‘The Law is Clear: The FBI Cannot Make Apple Rewrite its OS.’

While the FBI is relying on an extremely broad interpretation of the All Writs Act, Crawford points out that it is an accepted principle that specific laws takeeconomic boom period. The bulk of Irish-American immigration coincided with the first great expansion of American cities from the 1840-1880’s. The first great Irish-American figures rose to prominence on the back of that surging economic/political opportunity.

The second way is that the group concentrates in one area, reaches ‘critical mass’ and assumes a dominant position in that area’s affairs. Later – by the same process – this local dominance can become regional and national. Prof. Rischin used the historic development of the New York Jewish community as the prime example of that process (refer to his book).

Neither of these circumstances pertained to the African-American experience. They arrived in the Americas in a position of complete disadvantage, so that they could build the infrastructure of wealth-accumulation for every other immigrant


a beautiful proof that only lies remain as the main Western weapon, as the basis of the economy, as the trump card … Draw your own conclusions.

St. Patrick’s Day may be an excuse to laugh and party hard in Yuppietown USA, but the true aesthetic pathos of Ireland is steeped in tragedy and sorrow — Buck

For the first time Saint Patrick stepped on the land of Ireland at the age of 16 as a slave, who was kidnapped by Irish pirates. He managed to escape from Ireland, but by the order of an Angel, he returned to the land of Ireland as a Christian bishop and then Ireland just exploded with monks and missionaries, scholars and theologians, historians and book scribers.

These are the people who, being baptized bySt. Patrick, have become major bearers of Christianity in Western Europe. Irish Christian communities were sending missionaries to the far corners of Europe, unable to contain their bouleversement by the beauty of Christ, which was opened to them by St. Patrick and his disciples.

They founded monasteries and Christian communities, creating Orthodox schools, which became the basis of European universities, collected libraries, bringing Europe from barbarism into which it was plunged after the fall of the Western Roman Empire and baptized, baptized, baptized.

Even in Italy, the founder of the monastic tradition has become a follower of St. Patrick St. Columban, who founded the famous monastery of Bobo, and not the Pope, who as subject of Byzantine Emperor belonged to the Eastern Christian tradition.

St. Patrick’s students along with the Byzantines


played a prominent role in the Christianization of Russia by baptizing the Vikings of Denmark and Norway – the cousins of Vladimir the Red Sun of Kiev. Even now, the impact of St. Patrick, the initial push that he gave to the Irish Church has not exhausted itself and can be felt to this day.

And the most important task that can now be put in front of the Orthodox Church in our time, when the confrontation between the West and the East is balancing on the brink of nuclear war, it is to remember the tragedy of followers of St. Patrick, who suddenly found themselves adepts of heretical church, fallen away from Christianity in 1054.

To remember and to forget the confrontation of East and West in order tomore clearly understand the confrontation of Christianity and anti-Christianity.
