National League promotion-chasing Lincoln came from behind with two goals in the last three minutes as they stunned Gateshead 2-1.

The Imps tested Dan Hanford early on through Elliott Whitehouse, but Gateshead held firm and found themselves in front on the half-hour mark after Luke Hannant was brought down in the box by Sean Raggett.

Paddy McLaughlin coolly slotted home the resulting penalty, sending Paul Farman the wrong way, and the hosts held on to their lead after Hanford pulled off a superb finger-tip save to deny a Nathan Arnold volley just before the break.

Matt Rhead equalised for the league leaders from the spot in the first minute of stoppage time, before Arnold fired in the winner two minutes later.

Chicago's top prosecutor is fighting a push to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate her office's handling of the case against actor Jussie Smollett.

Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx says she'd welcome an independent probe into her office's dismissal of felony disorderly conduct charges that accused Smollett of staging a racist and anti-gay attack on himself. But the Chicago Sun-Times reports she filed a motion Tuesday opposing retired appellate judge Sheila O'Brien's demand for a special prosecutor.

In another motion, Foxx seeks to quash O'Brien's subpoenas for her and a top assistant to appear in court Thursday.

Foxx is also seeking permission to allow her office and the county's inspector general access to records in the case that were sealed last month when the charges were dropped.Ontogeny of GnRH systems.
In all vertebrate species studied, the main central population of GnRH neurones, which produces the final messages regulating reproduction, originates outside the brain. Early during fetal life, they appear in the olfactory placode epithelium and then migrate toward the base of the telencephalon in close association with the nervus terminalis, penetrate the brain within the nervus terminalis roots, reach their final locations and eventually grow axons toward their targets. Only part of this process is documented in ruminants. In the sheep fetus, the olfactory placode develops between day 22 and day 26 of gestation, but the first GnRH-immunoreactive neurones have been detected only at day 35, associated with the extracerebral part of the nervus terminalis. During the next 30-40 days, the GnRH neuronal systems progressively

James won't play again this season says Koeman

James McCarthy is unlikely to be available for Ireland's next World Cup qualifier as Everton boss Ronald Koeman says he does not expect the midfielder to play again this season.

But McCarthy could force another club-v-country row by insisting on making himself available for Ireland's three-game series in June, finishing with the Dublin date against Austria in the World Cup.

McCarthy has not featured for the club since that bitter spat between Koeman and Martin O'Neill over McCarthy's involvement in last month's qualifier at home to Wales and will not be involved this weekend.

"James McCarthy is still separate from the group. I don't know if he will be available until the end of the season," said Koeman.

The juvenile court judge found that the State had failed to prove that the juvenile Boyd could not be made to lead a correct life and could not be properly disciplined under the provisions of Title 13, §§ 350-383, Code; therefore, the juvenile court denied the State's motion for transfer.

Wildlife experts had to cut away hundreds of feet of commercial fishing line from an endangered wale off the coast of the US state of Georgia on Monday.

A crew doing aerial surveys for the Navy offshore near Jacksonville, Florida, spotted the whale dragging fishing line behind it on Sunday.

While 280ft of rope was successfully removed, some had to be left inside the whale’s mouth.

Only around 450 right whales remain in the wild, and each winter they migrate to the warmer waters off Georgia and Florida to give birth to their calves.

But entanglement in commercial fishing equipment and collisions threaten their survival.

The entangled whale spotted was a four-year-old male, which team members said is not surprisingdespite a misconception that only pregnant females and their babies migrate south at wintertime.

Clay George, a marine mammal biologist for the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) who was part of the team that helped the whale, said the incident was the first time since 2011 that a right whale snared in fishing gear had been spotted offshore in the south-east of the US.

The whale was about 40 miles offshore of Darien, Georgia on Monday when the Georgia DNR was able to manoeuvre a small boat close enough to cut away most of the rope.

Mr George and his colleagues helped the 30-foot whale by severing the three-quarters-inch fishing line using a grappling hook equipped with cutting blades. Wildlife experts had to cut away hundreds of feet of commercial

HEBRON – The identities of a Marengo man and a Hebron woman who died in a car crash Sunday afternoon on Route 47 have been released by the McHenry County Coroner’s Office.

Jose Rodriguez, 42, of Marengo and Falynn M. Hironimus, 29, of Hebron were pronounced dead at the scene, according to a news release from McHenry County Coroner Anne Majewski. Autopsies will be performed Tuesday afternoon.

Two vehicles collided about 4:20 p.m. Sundayin the 7400 block of Route 47 in Hebron, between O’Brien and Thayer roads, McHenry County Sheriff’s Deputy Sandra Rogers said.

Hironimus was traveling north in a 2009 Kia Rio, and for unknown reasons, she crossed into the southbound lane of traffic, crashing into a 2005 Chevy Impala driven by Rodriguez, Rogers said.

There were three other people in the Chevy Impala – a 39-year-old woman, a 12-year-old girl and a 9-year-old girl, all from Marengo, police said. The 39- and 12-year-olds were taken to Centegra Hospital – McHenry in critical condition and later sent to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge.

The 9-year-old was taken to Centegra Hospital – Huntley in stable condition, police said.

The passengers’ condition were not known Monday morning, Majewski said.

A BJP worker was hacked to death by a group of men in Kannur on Monday night.

According to reports, PV Sujith, 27, was at his home in Pappinisseri in Kannur district when around 10 men barged into his house around midnight. They thrashed Sujith, his parents and his brother. Sujith was attacked by one of the attackers with a sword injuring the BJP worker seriously.

The Bharatiya Janata Party district leadership have claimed that the attack was carried out by CPI(M) workers.

The official Twitter handle of the state BJP unit , tweeted "BJP Karyakarta Sujith hacked to death by CPM at his home in Kannur district. Parents critically injured" along with a photo of Sujith's heavily wounded body.

Police have intensified law and order measures in the area in viewof the tension following the murder.

His aged parents and a brother tried to stop the assailants, who stormed into the house at around 11.30 PM last night, and suffered injuries in the process.

Police said some CPI(M) sympathisers have been taken into custody for questioning. BJP has called for a 'hartal' in Kannur, Pappinessery and Azhikode areas to protest against the killing.

Sujith was taken to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

In December 2013, a BJP worker hacked to death and two others were injured seriously in clashes with CPI(M) workers at Perumba near Payyanur town in Kannur district. The victim, Vinod Kumar, was also a local instructor of the RSS.

Twitter Inc says it is looking into reports that it has been banned in Turkey, Reuters says.

Multiple recordings have recently emerged not just on Twitter, but also on Facebook and YouTube, purportedly showing Erdogan – whose AK Party dominates the parliament – illegally meddling in political, legal, business, and media affairs.

In one recording, he instructs his son to hide tens of millions of euros worth of cash in the house. In another, he tells off an editor of a major newspaper for producing negative coverage. Erdogan has dismissed most of the recordings as “vile fakes” and accused a “robot lobby” of targeting his government through Twitter.

The leader also threatened to shut down YouTube and Facebook – which is used by 35 million Turks– last month.

The run-up to the local elections on March 30 – which will be followed by parliamentary and presidential polls – has been marked by constant rancour, with allegations of fraud adding to the protests over corruption and the suppression of political and civil freedoms from the opposition.

But the AK Party, which has been in power since 2002, is set to maintain its supremacy, if polls are to be believed.

On Friday Turkish President Abdullah Gul publicly came out against efforts to restrict access to social media websites.

“A total shutdown of social media platforms cannot be approved,” Gul wrote on his own Twitter account.

Gul said only individual internet pages should be blocked, and only if a court has ruled personal privacy has been violated. The irony that the


president was tweeting despite the PM's recent ban of the service was not lost on Turkish Twitter users. Gul added that he hoped the ban would not last for long.

While PM bans Twitter, President GUL is tweeting by using foreign dns numbers #TwitterisblockedinTurkey — Mustafa Erdogan (@mustafaerdgn) March 21, 2014

#TurkeyBlockedTwitter Erdogan banned twitter!! Abdullah Gul is still tweeting :) proud(!) of my ridiculously funny country..! — scarletletter (@scarlet1letter) March 21, 2014

The fact that the president himself has tweeted also shows how ineffective the ban has been, as there are many technical means to circumvent it.

The number of Tweets on Friday morning did not significantly drop, and in the first ten hours after Erdogan ordered the Twitter ban, half a million Tweets were posted by Turkish users, Hurriyet dailySaturday, 17 October 2015

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump urged evangelical leaders this week to get out the vote ahead of the upcoming midterm elections and warned of “violence” by opponents if they fail.

Trump made the dire warning at a White House dinner Monday evening attended by dozens of conservative Christian pastors, ministers and supporters of his administration.

Trump was stressing the stakes in November when he warned that, if Democrats win,training about it."There's nothing to worry about, nurse," explained the surgeon in training. "He actually does have a bump on his head. Halfway through the operation we ran out of anesthetic."

more than 500 tons using the Northwest Passage, in part as an acknowledgement of it sovereignty over the waterway.

Canada’s enthusiasm for developing a time-saving route in global trade through the Northwest Passage arises from a rivalry with Russia, which has developed at least 10 ports on the competing Northern Sea Route, or Northeast Passage.

A Chinese vessel last August became the first container transporting freighter to transit the route in a journey two weeks shorter than the usual one through the Suez Canal. And last November, Russian gas export company Gazprom made the first delivery of liquefied natural gas through the Northeast Passage, sailing from Norway east to Japan.For most people, sharing a $38.5 million lottery jackpot with five co-workers is a deal they could live with. But it was apparently too much for Americo Lopes, who a jury found guilty of cheating his colleagues out of their rightful share of winnings.

Lopes and his co-workers at a New Jersey construction company took part in a lottery pool going back to 2007. But in 2009, when Lopes discovered he had the winning Mega Millions ticket, he claimed to have purchased the winning numbers on his own, rather than as part of the company pool.

After a unanimous jury decision on Wednesday, Lopes must now pay each co-worker a pretax $2 million from the jackpot, according to a spokeswoman for the Superior Court in Elizabeth, New Jersey.

The Star-Ledger reports


that Lopes left the courtroom saying in Portuguese, "they robbed me."

The five former co-workers testified that they gave Lopes money to purchase lottery tickets on the day he purchased the winning ticket. A sixth construction worker who was not in the lottery pool also testified against Lopes. "I have a lot to do," Carlos Fernandez, one of the five plaintiffs, told the Star-Ledger after the verdict was announced.

Still, for all his complaining of being "robbed," it could have been worse for Lopes, who stood to lose up to $20 million of his after-tax $24 million in winnings.

Winning the lottery has been a mixed blessing for a number of past winners. Just last week, a Michigan lottery winner fell under intense scrutiny when it was revealed she was stillaccepting food stamps despite being a millionaire. The day after Yahoo! News reported on her story, the Michigan Bridge Card program stepped in and removed her from the welfare program.

On the other hand, a number of other lottery winners have voluntarily chosen to share their lottery winnings with family, friends and the less fortunate. Last month, we told you about several repeat Georgia lottery winners who have given away substantial portions of their jackpot winnings.

Winning the lottery can even be fatal in some extreme cases. In 1996, Jeffrey Dampier famously won $20 million in the Illinois state lottery, using some of his money to help family and friends. But when Dampier offered to help his sister-in-law and her boyfriend out financially, they rewarded his generosity by kidnapping

Russia’s FSB intelligence agency says three people were killed — including the attacker — and one wounded in an armed attack at its office in the Far East.

The FSB, the main successor to the KGB, said in a statement on Friday that an unidentified man passed by metal detectors, entered the reception area of the FSB’s office in Khabarovsk and opened fire at the people who were there. One FSB officer and one visitor were killed on spot and one was wounded. Security shot dead the attacker.

The FSB would not immediately release any details about the shooter.

Social media users posted pictures of police cordons around the FSB building in Khabarovsk with special forces standing by.

Grizzlies Re-Sign Marreese Speights

July 13 2012 at 5:02pm CDT By Luke Adams

JULY 13TH, 5:02pm: The Grizzlies have officially re-signed Speights, the team announced today in a press release.

JULY 6TH, 8:43am: Speights' two-year deal is actually worth almost $9MM and has a second-year player option, rather than a team option, according to the Memphis Commercial Appeal. As I noted below, the terms initially reported seemed awfully team-friendly, so this makes more sense.

7:48am: The Grizzlies and forward Marreese Speights have agreed to terms on a two-year contract, reports Chris Sherrington of the Memphis Flyer. According to Sherrington, the two-year deal is in the $7-8MM range, with a team option for a second year.

A five-year stint in California in the late 1990s, where he worked as sous chef at San Francisco’s Rubicon, helped Hardesty grow to much more than merely a chef who could feed people—he became a culinary professional passionate about quality ingredients, classic techniques, and visually stunning plating.

Hardesty opened H2O Sushi in 2000, bringing playful and creative sushi and pan-Asian dishes to loyal customers in Broad Ripple. He followed that up with the ahead-of-its-time Mass Ave farm-to-fork bistro Elements in 2003, when the now-bustling restaurant district had only a few quality kitchens.

But that wasn't the first time Danielle set the internet alight. Her works were previously shared by stars Post Malone and Lil Peeps and she's been commissioned by Willow Smith, daughter of rapper and actor Will Smith and actor Jada Pinkett Smith.

Her art has left many people mesmerized - as on first glance the artwork looks like a photograph. But more importantly and personally, it has helped her through battles with mental health problems, and she said she wants to raise awareness and inspire others to try to help themselves through art, saying she "never wants people tofeel even close to how I did".

Danielle openly dedicates the beginning of her career to the late Lil Peep, a Swedish-American rapper and singer who gained a cult like following on Soundcloud, bending genres of emo rock and hip-hop. He broke into the mainstream in late 2017 with his debut album, Come Over When You’re Sober.

A retweet on his twitter profile garnered her paintings instant recognition, and her fanbase was made.

DAP calls for dissolution of Perak state assembly

The DAP on Monday reiterated its call for the dissolution of the Perak state legislative assembly to pave the way for a fresh election and allow the people to choose their government.

Its secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said only by returning the power to the people can the honour be returned to Perak and Malaysia.

In the country of Vocabuleria each year in February The Great Word Competition is held. Words from all over the country gather to compete against each other. This year's competition attracted 32 participants and all of them were drawn blindly in a knock-out tournament that consists of five rounds.
To keep the competition fresh and exciting each year the rules are re-established. This year the following rules were agreed upon:

First of all, as was the case last year, the maximum allowed word

The Stallings group is a key object in the version of discrete Morse theory for cubical complexes developed by Mladen Bestvina and Noel Brady and in the study of subgroups of direct products of limit groups.

Stallings' most famous theorem in group theory is an algebraic characterization of groups with more than one end (that is, with more than one "connected component at infinity"), which is now known as Stallings' theorem about ends of groups.

Many Chicagoans, however, had more pressing concerns than organized crime in the year following the Stock Market Crash of 1929. Long lines on American sidewalks had become all-too familiar sights as jittery investors made runs on banks and the unemployed waited for free meals.

In early November 1930, more than 75,000 jobless Chicagoans lined up to register their names. Nearly a third required immediate relief. “The Madison Street hobo type was conspicuously absent from these lines of men,” reported the Chicago Tribune, which noted that many of the unemployed were well-dressed.

A week later the Chicago Tribune reported the surprising news that the mysterious benefactor who had recently rented out a storefront and opened a


The moment adoptive parents broke down in tears as they get maximum sentences for starvation and hypothermia death of teenage girl from Ethiopia

Larry and Carri Williams of Sedro-Woolley, Washington were found guilty of neglecting, abusing, and ultimately killing 13-year-old Hana Williams

The couple left Hana to die from hypothermia and starvation in their backyard in May 2011

Step-brother Immanuel testified he and Hana were beaten with sticks, hosed down, forced to eat frozen food and locked in closets

Larry accusing his wife of being the 'primary actor' in the abuse

A Washington couple accused of starving, beating and forcing their adopted daughter to stay outside as punishment have been sentenced to spend decades in prison for her death.

Larry and Carri Williams were convicted on September 9 and sentenced on Tuesday for themanslaughter in the death of a teenage girl they adopted from Ethiopia.

Carri Williams was also found guilty of homicide by abuse.

Hana Williams was found dead May 12, 2011, in the backyard of the family home in Sedro-Woolley, about 60 miles north of Seattle.

Scroll down for video

Sentenced: Cari Williams (left) faces just under 37 years behind bars and her husband Larry (right) was sentenced to just under 28 years for their abuse of their adoptive daughter

The ban came about amid outrage after Ethiopian girl Hana Williams was starved to death by a US couple. She was found in the yard of her adoptive parents' Washington home in 2011. They were given maximum sentences for causing her death

The autopsy said she died of hypothermia, with malnutrition and a stomach condition


as contributing factors.

Carri Williams was sentenced Tuesday to just under 37 years, the top of the standard sentencing range, by Judge Susan Cook who said she probably deserved more time in prison, the Skagit Valley Herald reported. Her husband received a sentence of nearly 28 years.

Cook vacated Carri Williams' manslaughter conviction because she was convicted of homicide by abuse for the same conduct.

Both also were found guilty of assault of a child for punishing a boy they adopted in 2008 from Ethiopia at the same time as Hana.

Carted away: During the trial, Larry Williams turned on his wife Carri and said that she was the main force behind the abuse of their adopted children

Shaming: The judge spoke out against the couple, saying that they deserved more than themaximum sentences

Both appeared in court in red jail uniforms and were led away in handcuffs after the sentencing.

The boy from Ethiopia testified that the parents used sticks or belts to beat him all over his body as punishment.

He also described being sprayed with a water hose if he wet his pants.

After the arrests, the boy and six biological children were placed in foster care or with relatives.

The courtroom was filled with many Ethiopians and nine of the jurors who convicted Larry and Carri Williams after a seven-week trial in Skagit County Superior Court.

Angelic: Hana, pictured second left, seen as a young girl with her family back in Ethiopia

Cause of death: An autopsy showed that the 13-year-old died from hypothermia exacerbated by malnutrition and gastritis

Defense lawyers told jurors that questionable parenting practices didn't necessarily amount to a crime.

On the rainy night Hana died, Carri Williams called 911 and reported Hana was not breathing, saying the girl had refused to come into the house.

Hana was found face-down in the backyard with mud in her mouth.

Hana is believed to have been 13, but no documentation of her birth in Ethiopia was available.

The trial was postponed several times, and her body was exhumed in January.

Manslaughter: Larry Williams (left) was sentenced to 28 years and Carri Williams to37 years after being found guilty of manslaughter in the death of their 13-year-old Ethiopian adopted daughter

Dragged away: Carri Williams is taken into custody last month after a jury deemed her guilty of the 2011 death of her daughter. She was also found guilty of homicide by abuse

Tests on her teeth and bones gave varying estimates, and experts were unable to agree on her age. Her age was significant because the homicide by abuse charge applies only if the victim was younger than 16.

During the trial , Larry Williams turned on his wife and blamed her for the child's death.

Lingering fear: Foster mother Sheila Jackson, who took in Immanuel after the Williamses' arrest, said the boy was very thin, always hungry and terrified to talk about his adoptive


parents

Mr Williams said through his attorney that his wife should spend decades in jail because 'she was the primary actor' in all of the treatment of Hana and Immanuel, the Ethiopian boy.

A foster mother testified during the trial that the couple's other adopted son Immanuel was rail-thin and covered in scratches when she took him in.

The testimony from foster mother Sheila Jackson came on day 18 of the Williams murder trial.

Jackson, who is deaf, told the jury in a Mount Vernon courtroom that when the Williamses’ son Immanuel, who was also adopted from Ethiopia, came to live with her, she could barely keep up with his demands for food.

'He ate fast. He ate a lot. He ate more than I expected,' she told on the stand, the stationdown and forced to sleep in closets, where they would listen to recordings of the Bible on tape and Christian music.

The defense has attempted to paint Immanuel as a disobedient boy with an attitude problem.

The lawyers for the couple said Immanuel hit and bit Jackson’s daughter so badly that her teacher ended up calling CPS after the child came to school with bruises.

Sheila Jackson said that Immanuel has been getting counselling and his behaviour has been improving.

Blaming the victim: On a 911 call after Hana's death, Carri Williams (left) told the dispatcher that her 'rebellious' adopted daughter had killed herself by throwing herself down to the ground and refusing to come indoors

In 2008, Immanuel was 7 years old when the American couple, both devout Christians, adopted him and


Hana from Ethiopia. Larry worked at Boeing while his wife was a stay-at-home mom home-schooling the two adopted kids and their seven biological children.

'I would suffer with the pain until it eventually went away,' he said in sign language July 29.

Larry’s attorney, Rachel Forde, characterized the Ethiopian boy as a troublemaker who lied to his adoptive parents and refused to do lessons assigned by his mother.

While the couple's biological children, five of whom had testified during the trial, were generally treated better, the strict rules in the Williams household applied to them as well.

Guilty: Larry Williams listens in Skagit County court days before a jury found him and wife Carri guilty of neglecting and ultimately killing their adopted Ethiopian daughter Hana

Wicked: Carri Williams cries during her trial. Shewas convicted of homicide by abuse in addition to manslaughter

According to Joseph Williams, however, he and his siblings were given the authority to punish and even spank their adopted brother and sister, KIRO-TV reported.

Joseph was called to the stand to describe the night of May 12, 2011, when his 13-year-old adopted sister died.

Joseph told the court that after Hana died while sitting in the yard in 40-degree weather, his mother instructed him to bring the girl's body inside, where she performed CPR and called 911.

The mother of nine said on the call that her daughter Hana 'has killed herself.'

When asked by the 911 dispatcher why she believed her daughter had taken her own life, Williams said that the girl was not breathing and lying face down in the

WILSON RAWLS was born on a small farm in the Oklahoma Ozarks. He spent his youth in the heart of the Cherokee nation, prowling the hills and river bottoms with his only companion, an old bluetick hound. Rawls's first writing was done with his fingers in the dust of the country roads and in the sands along the river, and his earliest stories were told to his dog. Not until Rawls's familyentertain them at a party), and has since written a book on the subject with a journalist. Johnson attracted attention well before that in connection with his battle for tenure at Brooklyn College, where his department tried to deny him tenure on the notoriously slippery "collegiality" grounds--deeming him "immoral, dishonest, disrespectful, and arrogant"--notwithstanding a strong record of teaching and scholarship. In the end Johnson prevailed in his bid for tenure, becoming at the same time a poster boy for conservative media looking for victims of "political correctness" in the universities.

Perhaps because of his bitter experience with tenure, Johnson has not been content merely to write an expose of the corrupt Durham prosecutor responsible for the Duke lacrosse travesty, but has launched a jihad against any Duke faculty member


to deride their intellectual work, about which it is not apparent he knows very much other than that it concerns topics he deems unworthy, like race and gender (scroll down to the section on "The Academy" in this long post for a good example; this post is also representative, both of his attacks on faculty and misrepresentation of the ad). When the Volokh blog, which often runs hatchet jobs on faculty whose politics are to its left, invited Johnson to blog there, he naturally continued his attacks on Duke faculty, not just for their role (real or imagined) in the Duke lacrosse scandal, but also on their scholarship.

I saw your posting on Johnson on your blog. Piot's article [the critique of Johnson] has a number of holes inas Professor Johnson has pointed out, individual faculty, such as Professor Baker, have made inappropriate public statements which demand no interpretation, let alone the tortured parsing of out-of-context phrases that has become the hallmark of Professor Johnson's misguided crusade.

What do Tuesday's election results mean for passenger rail in North Carolina? The apparent Republican heir to the chairmanship of the House Transportation Committee, Rep. John Mica of Miami, says he wants to re-examine President Obama's almost $10 billion in high-speed rail grants. He doesn't oppose high-speed rail, he told the AP, but disagrees with some of the states that won grants. Hmmm. In January Florida snagged $1.25 billion for a Tampa-to-Orlando (and eventually to Miami) line. But Mica thinks the Northeast is the only corridor that can support high-speed rail.

North Carolina won a $545 million federal grant. It was part of the stimulus package for "high-speed rail" projects, although in North Carolina's case, don't be imagining bullet trains. The state plans to use mostthe Monte Carlo simulations for light transport in skin. Oxygen saturation is obtained directly from the regression coefficients. Experiments with a tissue-like agar gel phantom validated the method. In vivo experiments on fingers during upper limb occlusion demonstrated the ability of the method to evaluate physiological reactions of human skin.

Quantitative evaluation of the melanin and blood concentrations and the blood oxygenation is important for detecting various skin diseases including cancers, monitoring health status and tissue metabolism, and evaluating convalescence. Major chromophores in the superficial skin layer are melanin, oxygenated hemoglobin, and deoxygenated hemoglobin, which show distinctive optical absorption properties in the visible wavelength range. If the concentration of each chromophore varies, then, the corresponding change may be made on diffusely reflected light from the skin tissue in this


diffuser was used to regulate the camera white balance. To evaluate accuracy of WEM, the reflectance spectra of skin were simultaneously measured by a fiber-coupled spectrometer (USB2000, Ocean Optics Inc., Dunedin, FL, USA) at 110 ms of integration time as reference data. Before the sequential measurements of RGB images and reflectance spectra, a measured area by the spectrometer was confirmed by projecting light from a halogen lamp on the skin surface via one lead of bifurcated fiber, lens, and beam splitter. The RGB image of skin surface including the spot of light illuminated by the halogen lamp was stored into the PC, and then, the size and coordinates of the spot were specified as the measured area by spectrometer. After the halogen lamp was turned off, the sequentialrepresents individuals and businesses hurt by the spill, said BP executives applied "huge financial pressure" to "cut costs and rush the job." The project was more than $50 million over budget and behind schedule at the time of the blowout, Roy said.

"BP repeatedly chose speed over safety," Roy said, quoting from a report by an expert who may testify.

Roy said the spill also resulted from Transocean's "woeful" safety culture and failure to properly train its crew. And Roy said Halliburton provided BP with a product that was "poorly designed, not properly tested and was unstable."

Brad Brian, a lawyer for Transocean, said the company had an experienced, well-trained crew on the rig. He said the Transocean workers' worst mistake may have been placing too much trust in the BP


welfare.

In its ruling, the court said that hate speech does not fall under the protections afforded by the freedom of speech, even though Halla-aho said his comments were a protest against public policy and not against Islam and Mohammed per se.

Halla-aho, who has become well known in Finland and elsewhere for his well-argued essays criticizing multiculturalism and runaway immigration, was ordered to pay a hefty fine and delete the comments from his blog.

Halla-aho maintains a blog called Scripta, which deals with issues such as "immigration, multiculturalism, tolerance, racism, freedom of speech and political correctness." His blog attracts thousands of readers every day, and the Tampere-based newspaper Aamulehti has described him the best-known political blogger in Finland. Halla-aho's notoriety has placed the guardians of Finnish multiculturalism on maximum alert.

Inmore easily than an average Christian. If subjective offensiveness suffices as the elements of a crime, the law protects a Muslim with greater force than it protects a Christian."

He continued: "My sentences about Mohammed and Islam were not opinions, but inescapably logical conclusions based on known facts. I did not use the word 'paedophile' as psychopathological concept, but in its popular meaning of a person having sex with children. The traditional Muslim knowledge, the Hadith literature, tells us that Mohammed had sex with his wife Aisha when she was nine years old. A nine-year-old is seen as a child today, and physically she was a child in 7th century, no matter what her judicial status was. Therefore, if Mohammed had sex with Aisha and Aisha was a child,


the mechanisms of evolution, the mere thought of living as a parasite on tax funds or killing people while intoxicated as being genetic characteristics of some population is insane."

He concluded: "Therefore, even if I had presented the argument about Somalis as my opinion and not as demonstrative material, the fact that an indictment was made against me for my proposition concerning Somalis but not against newspaper Kaleva for its proposition concerning Finns, would be in conflict with the equality section of the Constitution."

Elsewhere, Halla-aho wrote: "The imams are building, on European soil, in their mosques paid for by Europeans, a fanatic robot army without free will, whose only task is to destroy Western society."

Later, Halla-aho also wrote -- based on the common opinion in Finland that immigrant rapistspublic, in which Islam and its sacred institutions were combined with paedophilia, and in which was also presented the robbery of pedestrians and the looting of tax revenue by a certain national group or with a specific genetic characteristic."

When the charges were presented in the Helsinki District Court, Halla-aho stressed that he was opposed to violence against women and he denied that he was against foreigners; he said that he was simply "critical of immigration."

According to Halla-aho, the biggest problem associated with immigration is the large number of immigrants in relation to the resources used to integrate them. He has said that the one minority group whose integration has failed everywhere is Muslim, and that their refusal to assimilate creates problems such as social exclusion and ethnic ghettoization.

What Was the Bretton Woods Agreement and System?

The Bretton Woods Agreement was negotiated in July 1944 by delegates from 44 countries at the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference held in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. Thus, the name “Bretton Woods Agreement.

Under the Bretton Woods System, gold was the basis for the U.S. dollar and other currencies were pegged to the U.S. dollar’s value. The Bretton Woods System effectively came to an end in the early 1970s when President Richard M. Nixon announced that the U.S. would no longer exchange gold for U.S. currency.

The Bretton Woods Agreement and System Explained

Approximately 730 delegates representing 44 countries met in Bretton Woods in July 1944 with the principal goals of creating an efficient foreign exchange system, preventing competitive devaluations of currencies, andpromoting international economic growth. The Bretton Woods Agreement and System were central to these goals. The Bretton Woods Agreement also created two important organizations—the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. While the Bretton Woods System was dissolved in the 1970s, both the IMF and World Bank have remained strong pillars for the exchange of international currencies.

Though the Bretton Woods conference itself took place over just three weeks, the preparations for it had been going on for several years. The primary designers of the Bretton Woods System were the famous British economist John Maynard Keynes and American Chief International Economist of the U.S. Treasury Department Harry Dexter White. Keynes’ hope was to establish a powerful global central bank to be called the Clearing Union and issue a


Bretton Woods System required a currency peg to the U.S. dollar which was in turn pegged to the price of gold.

The Bretton Woods System collapsed in the 1970s but created a lasting influence on international currency exchange and trade through its development of the IMF and World Bank.

Benefits of Bretton Woods Currency Pegging

The Bretton Woods System included 44 countries. These countries were brought together to help regulate and promote international trade across borders. As with the benefits of all currency pegging regimes, currency pegs are expected to provide currency stabilization for trade of goods and services as well as financing.

All of the countries in the Bretton Woods System agreed to a fixed peg against the U.S. dollar with diversions of only 1% allowed. Countries were required to monitorand maintain their currency pegs which they achieved primarily by using their currency to buy or sell U.S. dollars as needed. The Bretton Woods System, therefore, minimized international currency exchange rate volatility which helped international trade relations. More stability in foreign currency exchange was also a factor for the successful support of loans and grants internationally from the World Bank.

The Bretton Woods Agreement created two Bretton Woods Institutions, the IMF and the World Bank. Formally introduced in December 1945 both institutions have withstood the test of time, globally serving as important pillars for international capital financing and trade activities.

The purpose of the IMF was to monitor exchange rates and identify nations that needed global monetary support. The World Bank, initially called the International Bank


for Reconstruction and Development, was established to manage funds available for providing assistance to countries that had been physically and financially devastated by World War II. In the twenty-first century, the IMF has 189 member countries and still continues to support global monetary cooperation. Tandemly, the World Bank helps to promote these efforts through its loans and grants to governments.

The Bretton Woods System’s Collapse

In 1971, concerned that the U.S. gold supply was no longer adequate to cover the number of dollars in circulation, President Richard M. Nixon devalued the U.S. dollar relative to gold. After a run on gold reserve, he declared a temporary suspension of the dollar’s convertibility into gold. By 1973 the Bretton Woods System had collapsed. Countries were then free to choose any exchange arrangement30 L.Ed.2d 652 (1972), petitioner may be asserting a denial of his Sixth Amendment right to a speedy trial.

ABSTRACT The identity of a Puccinia species occurring on the introduced weed dyer's woad (Isatis tinctoria) was studied using sequences from the internal transcribed spacer of the nuclear ribosomal DNA. The relationship of this fungus to other Puccinia species occurring on the family Brassicaceae in Europe and North America was examined, and we tested the hypothesis that P. thlaspeos and P. monoica are correlated species. The data suggest that the Puccinia species from dyer's woad is closely related to the North American species P. consimilis and may be derived from an indigenous strain of P. consimilis that switched hosts. Thus, the Puccinia species from dyer's woad is probably native to North

I honestly believe that euphemistic perspectives were born of the embarrassment that can arise around sex. I think that it's a fine teaching point, but Clarke goes way too far in my opinion. There's also no real reason to reject the literal understanding of the text so why jump through unnecessary exegetical hoops to do so.

I felt a large purse, a leather purse, and there was an envelope adjacent to it, and I squeezed the purse and felt no hard objects or anything, although at this time I did feel this envelope which, due to my previous experience with narcotic containers, I felt that this envelope contained contraband.
Officer Comeau was asked whether he felt endangered during the encounter. He replied: "I always feel in danger, especially when I walk into a pool hall, sir." When he began the pat-down in front of the pool hall, the first area touched happened to be the pocket with the bulge. He testified that when he felt the bulge, he "just wasn't sure" what it was.

Schmidt will testify before the Senate Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Policy, and Consumer Rights in the Fall.

He will appear after the committee's Senators Herb Kohl and Mike Lee had sent a strongly worded letter to Google in June asking that the company's two senior execs appear before their committee.

A Google spokesperson told The Reg on Friday: "Senators Kohl and Lee expressed a strong desire to have our executive chairman appear in front of the subcommittee and we're happy to accommodate them. We appreciate their willingness to work with us to make it happen this Fall."

Since 2008, the Caltech and City of Hope Biomedical Research Initiative has brought together expertise from the two institutions to work together to improve health outcomes. This year's event highlights two of the latest projects to come from this exciting collaboration:keep toner particles on a developing roller.
As for the toners, each toner is generally produced by a kneading pulverization method in which a thermoplastic resin is melt-kneaded along with a colorant, etc., and then finely pulverized and classified. Additionally, if necessary, inorganic fine particles or organic fine particles may be added to surfaces of toner particles, for the purpose of improving the fluidity and cleanability of the toner particles.
Recent years, the method of providing toner releasability without application of oil to a heat roll, and adding a release agent such as a wax to a toner for preventing the problem of fusion of the toner is generally employed. Here, the toner releasability with respect to the heat roll is greatly affected by the dispersed state of the wax

housing. By late 2015, the city had announced its request for proposals for the project, which included middle-income units, much to the delight of the neighborhood groups.

"I think it was a very good outcome, considering what we faced two and a half years ago," said Bob Harrer of the Barbary Coast Neighborhood Association, who was on the selection panel. "I think the project will fit in well in combination with [the forthcoming] Teatro ZinZanni. It has the capability to create a new gateway to the city."

Community members gave input on the project at a meeting in July 2015.

The Mayor's Office of Housing and Community Development director, Olson Lee, appointed the selection panel, which included three community members, Port staff and others. (The only other respondent to the requestfor proposals was the joint venture of Chinatown Community Development Center (CCDC) and Self-Help For the Elderly.)

"Number one, I think there was a very clear and strong consensus on the decision made by the committee, and number two, I think it was extremely beneficial to have community representatives on that committee," Harrer said.

Under the contract, BRIDGE Housing and the John Stewart Company will construct two buildings, with a total of 182 units. A family housing building will include 130 apartments with a mix of studios and one-, two- and three-bedrooms, and a senior housing building will have 52 studios, one- and two-bedroom units.

Income qualifications will range from 30 percent of average median income to 120 percent of AMI for the family building and 30–70 percent AMI for the


senior building. (Here's the current AMI chart; a family of three can earn from $27,500 up to $110,050 annually to qualify for a unit.)

24 units in the family project and seven units in the senior project will be designated for middle-income residents. In their campaign for middle-income units, neighbors said they were concerned about the city's shrinking middle class, and the loss of workers like teachers, firefighters, and administrative professionals.

Thanks to a subsidy, 37 units (26 in the family building and 11 in the senior building) will be for formerly homeless residents. Lutheran Social Services will provide supportive services for those households.

Neighborhood groups also pushed for street-level retail in the project, and the current plan calls for three retail/commercial ground-floor spaces with 7,000 square feet on Front, Broadwayrepresenting a distance between the center line and a straight line parallel and also passing through the highest peak point within a portion where the measurement length L has been cut out from the roughness curve along the center line of the roughness curve.

You plunge your tongue into her, causing her to gasp at the sudden intrusion. You lick her interior aggressively, taking breaks to lick her clit as hard as you can while stimulating one of her nipples with a free hand, grabbing a firm handful of her flank in the other.

You groan in pleasure, the vibration from your voice stimulating Lotus' clit, causing her to bite down on one hoof as she tries to muffle her sensual moaning.

You don't want to end this sensation too soon, so you instruct Aloe to get on while continuing to lick and poke Lotus' folds.

Amanda Bynes' parents Lynn and Rick failed to secure a conservatorship over their daughter on Thursday, but that doesn't mean it's the end of their battle.

Both parents of the 27-year-old appeared in a court Friday morning to ask that they be appointed temporary conservators over their daughter's financial and personal affairs.

Several new movies hit theaters this week, including "The Wolverine," "The To Do List," among others. (Published Friday, Jul 26, 2013)

According to a conservator petition filed in Ventura County, they claim that Amanda has $3.3 million in assets and explain why they are worried for their daughter's safety.

In the declaration they state, "We are deeply concerned that Amanda poses a substantial risk to herself, to others and to propertybased on recent events in her life."

They describe the recent incidents (namely, the driveway fire from earlier this week) and add that "Amanda has profound issues with her body image and is obsessed with the idea that she (and others) are ugly."

The document went on to say, "She talks incessantly about cosmetic surgeries that she wants completed. She also encourages her mother to have plastic surgeries. We are concerned that the surgeries she wants to have are dangerous and detrimental to her health."

The papers also outline Amanda's "extremely


paranoid" behavior, explaining, "She would cover smoke alarms with towels, tape windows shut, and cover her car's dashboard with cardboard and tape" because she claimed that "cameras were watching her from inside these places."

Lynn and Rick's declaration submitted to the court also states that Amanda was living in New York City up until July 20, and arrived in California unexpectedly.

"When we asked her about how she arrived (since she has no driver's license or other identification) she said she 'cabbed it.' We do not know how she actually traveled from New York to California. We also do not know where she had been staying prior to her psychiatric hold as she has no residence in California. We believe she is essentially homeless."

With his ragged little army of patriots, Operator #5 marches out to battle — to draw off the Japanese from their siege of the eastern states and end the terrible Asiatic plague which had cloaked America in midnight darkness!The sounds of joyous celebration filled Pleasure City. The main hall was packed with merry revelers in various stages of inebriation. Mythical holographic animals roamed the complex. Streams of bright lights floated past, adding to the festivities. Everywhere you looked, you were entertained: amazing feats of acrobatics, the latest music sensations, and holographic recreations of famous events. It was breathtaking.

There was a never-ending supply of complimentary food and drink. All of the relaxation rooms with their anti-grav chambers, the various therapeutic and recreational immersion baths, the de-stressing areas with massages, sensory tanks, and other assorted pleasures; they were all free.

No expense was spared. It helped that Avon had been able to locate most of Sevisia's stash of wealth, secreted in various accounts all over the Federation, and had


channeled it back into Pleasure City and other places which his criminal organization had victimized.

The Pleasure City personnel, their guests who had been hidden away in safe locations during the conflict and the crew of the Justice enjoyed themselves immensely. Cally and Reya frequented the massage areas regularly, sampling the merely therapeutic and, after they dragged Avon and Argus with them, protesting at first, also the more entertaining ones.

**********

After the first few days of overactive merriment, Avon had his fill of people and retreated to the quieter research labs and the workspace which had been set up for him before. It was deserted. Everyone else was having fun and no work was being done. Avon enjoyed the solitude and peace.

His only visitor in the labs was Cally. Herpresence was not a disturbance, it was a welcome distraction. They would sit together in companionable silence as Avon exercised his mind on various puzzles while she watched or explored her own interests. She knew he needed space and at the same time, he required company. At other times, they conversed about various topics; exploring each other's areas of interests and views. He knew she wanted the interaction of communication.

Cally found herself speaking directly into his mind more and more, and it was becoming increasingly easier to 'hear' when his thoughts were consciously directed at her. They both found this an interesting development and experimented with it. Cally hadn't realized that this was possible except with another Auron. Under normal circumstances, a human mind wasn't capable of projecting


thought with enough strength for her to pick up; but as Avon was fond of pointing out with a sardonic smile, he wasn't normal under the best of circumstances.

They became at ease with one another.

**********

Argus sat alone in a small sparsely furnished room. There was a table and two chairs; and he was a man with a mission. The transports would be coming soon to bring the crimos to a penal colony. The remaining troops were about to be released with the warning to never come back to Pleasure City. Once their source of income was removed, there was no longer any incentive for the soldiers to oppose them.

The door slid open. Sevisia was brought in by two security guards.

"Remove the restraints and leave us," said Argus. Theyhesitated but did as he instructed and left the room.

"Sit down," said Argus.

Sevisia kept standing; his eyes burned with hatred.

Argus took a gun, which had been tucked behind him, and placed it on the table, the grip facing the other man.

Sevisia looked at him suspiciously, "What is this? An excuse to kill me?" He sat down.

"I don't need an excuse," said Argus grimly.

Sevisia sneered, "You can't kill anyone in cold blood, can you?"

With blinding speed, Argus had stood up and had a knife to Sevisia's throat. A drop of blood trickled down from where the tip had punctured the skin. The crimo boss was so shocked, he was frozen in fear.

"What do you think?" Argus asked with cold menace. "Do you want to say that again?"

Sevisia was afraid


to move. He could feel the knife tip press in further.

Argus sat back suddenly.

Sevisia's hand went to his throat defensively. "I misjudged you."

"Yes. You accused me of being a misguided idealist."

"What are you?" asked Sevisia.

"I'm a messenger," replied Argus. He spat the words out as if they were distasteful. His right hand still held the knife loosely; his body was very still. Every sense was alert. He knew the exact distance between the gun and Sevisia's hand; and his knife and Sevisia's throat.

"Who's the message from?" asked Sevisia. He was curious now.

"Servalan."

"The Federation President? What does she want from me?"

Argus enunciated each word slowly and deliberately, "She wants you to die." There was a look in his eyes which caused Sevisia to grab for the gun. Argus waswaiting for that motion; it was like a release which freed him to act. Before Sevisia had brought the gun up to fire, he was already dead; the knife buried in his throat, in the exact place where the tip had punctured him before.

Argus felt ill.

After several weeks, when Smithson was able to get up and walk about with some aid, he insisted on holding a feast for the crew in order to thank them. He was still very weak but he insisted on doing it.

After a pleasant evening of excellent food and conversation he stood up to addressed them all.

He looked at each of them in turn before he spoke. "I don't know what we would have done without all of your help. I don't know what


I would have done. It was a dark day for all of us and you came in and saved us without asking anything in return."

Smithson stopped and stood still for a moment. It was far too soon for him to be able to handle being in a social situation. He shook his head as if trying to wake himself from whatever memory had captured his attention. When he spoke again, they all noticed that his eyes were wet.

Smithson waved his hands as he talked. He was an expressive and passionate man. They all noted that his new arm looked real. These days it was difficult to tell the difference between a bionic limb and a tank grown one.

He continued. "We owe all of you our lives and astrange gift if it involved being hit. Although, it is Argus. He probably enjoyed it," said Avon sarcastically.

Cally gave him a hard stare. "Are you going to hit me too?" asked Avon.

"I'm thinking about it."

Avon gave her a mischievous grin. A strange impulse caused him to lean forward and kiss her. The moment their lips touched, it was as if a current of energy passed between them. There was an excitement and eagerness; exploring something they had both wanted for a long time.

For Cally, there was a brief moment of shock which quickly turned to passion. Avon’s presence at the edge of her consciousness became very close. She could sense his desire as his mouth explored hers; it soon became difficult distinguish where his needs ended and her
