BOSTON — The NCAA has amended a rule interpretation which permits padding to be used to cover guards, braces or casts on the wrist, forearm and elbow. This interpretation may clear the way for Purdue’s Isaac Haas to wear a brace over his fractured right elbow Friday night in the Sweet 16 game against Texas Tech in Boston, but the decision whether he plays remains up to Purdue coach Matt Painter, the medical staff, game officials and Haas.

NCAA Senior Vice President of basketball Dan Gavitt worked with Purdue athletic director Mike Bobinski, NCAA basketball secretary-rules editor Art Hyland, and the NCAA Committee on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sports (CSMAS) to get approval.

History

At the beginning of creation, the master of the forest lords, Sila, seeded the planets with potential for life. In the Sol system, the seeds took root on three different planets: Earth, Jupiter, and another which has since been destroyed. On that last planet lived a collective fungal consciousness thriving on The Grey. After the inception of the Parliament of Trees, there was created a system by which The Green was protected by a chosen elemental. The thirteenth in the line of these protectors was Matango - a member of the Parliament himself. When a meteor from the destroyed grey planet came to earth, Matango approached the Parliament with hopes of protecting the Earth.

Instead, the Parliament wanted to create a new elemental based on this new fungal lifeform so they could learn from it. Matango volunteered to be that elemental, and though the Parliament felt that his intentions were suspicious, they allowed it, so long as he left a receptacle for the knowledge that his first form had gained him. However, Matango's intent was to grow more powerful than the Parliament, and form his own. Unsuspected, The Grey's collective had its own will, which is merged with Matango's in order to fulfill its need to spread, consume, and break down life. The next time the Parliament saw him, it was as an emissary of The Grey. Though his change was contentious, The Grey and The Green lived in peace for years.

However, with the dawn of man, the Parliament felt that humanity's destructive potential needed to


be controlled and restrained. Matango felt that the potential should be unleashed. He tempted humans with fruit from the branches of Tuuru, the tree of knowledge. As a result of the change in mankind, the Parliament created an ice age to separate the new race of men from the old. A war began between The Green and The Grey. Having once resided in the Garden of Eden, the Parliament was forced to abandon its former home in the wake of Matango's attacks. The Grey weakened the Parliament to the point that it froze over, and they had to relocate to Brazil, on the Tefé River.

Following the war, a compromise was made which allowed the new race of man to conquer the old, and for those lost to TheGrey to remain so. The new race of man's gradual destruction of the environment had so far satisfied Matango, but with the Swamp Thing's actions, escaping from his prison in the Claw of Aelkhünd and planting the seed of the old race of man in his own human elemental daughter, Tefé, Matango awoke. Despite Yggdrasil's urging that the Swamp Thing and his family remain with the Parliament in hiding, Eyam - once a prisoner to The Grey - believed that Matango would destroy all of The Green if he was not confronted. Swamp Thing decided to gather a force of once-lost elementals to protect his family and fight Matango and The Grey.[1]

Before Swamp Thing learned of Matango's long history of involvement with the Parliament of Trees, he encountered


one of Matango's avatars, who was once a man. This man sought great power. He made a deal with the demon Nergal, murdering human sacrifices in exchange for more power. However, his eyes, tongue, and hand were all taken from him, and eventually Nergal claimed his soul, and placed it in his garden of Mashkan Shapir in Hell. He spent an eternity there until Swamp Thing destroyed the garden, and freed him to walk the earth again as an elemental of The Grey, a realm built entirely on fungus and mould.

Eventually, the Swamp Thing learned from the Parliament of Trees that eons ago, the Parliament had resided within the Garden of Eden, but they had come under attack by Matango and The Grey. Many members of the Parliamentwere lost in The Green, and transformed into members of The Grey. Matango's influence weakened the Parliament to such an extent that the Garden of Eden froze over, and the founders were crippled and forced to move to Brazil to the Tefé River.

When the Swamp Thing and Abby Holland gave birth to their daughter Tefé, the next earth elemental, Matango became obsessed with corrupting her with The Grey's influence, knowing of Nergal's taint within her and her enhanced power over both The Green and The Red. The avatar was subsequently destroyed by Brenda, a Native American woman, and a friend of John Constantine, with power over the dead.

Drawcia is the main antagonist of Kirby: Canvas Curse. She is a powerful sorceress born out of a mysterious painting, wanting to rule a world made of paint and art. Being the original owner of


the mighty Power Paintbrush that turned Kirby into a ball and Dream Land into a piece of artwork, she is capable of creating shadow-like entities out of paintings and fire blasts of powerful dark magic. Her capability to bring things to life with paint is similar to the abilities of Ado, Adeleine, and Paint Roller; however, Drawcia has much more creative power at her disposal than any of these characters, being able to create whole worlds and even full-fledged bosses to impede Kirby in his attempt to undo her spell on Dream Land.

Like many final bosses in the series, Drawcia has two forms that Kirby must confront in battle. She is fought as both Drawcia Sorceress (the form she appears in during the opening cutscene) and Drawcia Soul.

Games

Kirby:Canvas Curse

Throughout the game, Drawcia creates replicas of King Dedede, Kracko, and Paint Roller out of paint, with the intention to hinder Kirby's progress. These paintings of them serve as bosses at the end of every level, each one being fought in a type of "Boss Sub-game."

When Kirby first confronts Drawcia at the end of The World of Drawcia, she is in her witch-like sorceress form. While in this form, she fires magical blasts, draws huge spikes that pop out from beneath the ground, jumps into the air and quickly zooms towards Kirby, and summons smaller versions of herself called Para Sorceresses. She can paint enemies to life with the her paintbrush, but none of them give Kirby a copy ability. Drawcia is permanently protected by a mirror-like


shield, which makes her resilient to rushes and taps with the stylus. To defeat her in this form, Kirby must draw a Paint Shield and reflect one of the blasts back to her, which stuns her. Kirby must then continuously ram her (up to three times) while she is paralyzed. Repeating this forces her to enter her ghastly final form, Drawcia Soul.

Drawcia's goal is ultimately left unfulfilled, as Kirby bests her at her own game by pursuing her all across the ruined land, ultimately destroying her using the Paintbrush's power and bringing peace to Dream Land once again.

Physical Appearance

Drawcia and a Para Sorceress

Drawcia is a sorceress-like foe. She wears a jarring violet robe with blue and yellow markings on the bottom, with golden shoulder pads which hold upfinal battle of the SNES game EarthBound, which was also created by HAL Laboratory. This could imply that the Drawcia battle has either a modified reuse of the SNES effects or that this similarity is a mere coincidence.

Drawcia, along with Marx and Magolor, are the only bosses in the series to have a "Soul" version; unlike them, though, it looks almost nothing like her first form.

Despite the fact that she wielded the Power Paintbrush at the beginning of the game, neither form of Drawcia seems to have hands or arms.

In the fight, she can be seen using it to paint enemies to attack Kirby. She simply appears to concentrate and the Paintbrush moves by itself. This might not be the real Power Paintbrush, because the player is actually


Use of Community trade marks in the internal market (debate)
President
Τhe next item is the Commission statement on the use of Community trademarks in the internal market.
Michel Barnier
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, trademarks are of real importance in modern commerce. They enable the origin of products and services to be identified, they guarantee a constant level of quality, and they convey the image of the business. Access to the Community trademark is an issue for the development of our businesses and for the fight against counterfeiting.
You are concerned at the decisions taken by certain national trademark offices. These decisions would seek to limit the use of the Community trademark by invoking a requirement under which the use of a Community trademark in only one Member State would notMarket and Consumer Protection and the Committee on Legal Affairs.
The PPE Group has always been convinced that the internal market began with the concept of removing barriers between Member States, and we have made it our aim to fight for the removal of more of these barriers. This, too, was the idea behind establishment of the Community trademark. The advantage of the system is, among others, a guarantee to businesses of uniform protection across the Union. Geographical differences ought not to play a large role in this regard. Businesses do, after all, operate in a single European market. Therefore, it is with anxiety that we view the decisions made by some national offices for intellectual property protection.
I welcome, therefore, your declaration, Commissioner, that in the opinion of the


sustain these objections to allowing people to register trademarks, will be requiring the companies concerned to register in their own jurisdictions. This is naked self-interest on behalf of these organisations. It cannot be allowed to stand. It is fundamentally against the principles of the European Union and, by the way, it also undermines - as the Commissioner rightly says - a major priority for this Commission, which is innovation, getting new products into the market and making the internal market work better.
Zuzana Roithová
(CS) I very much welcome the fact that the Commission will, within one year, modernise the Community regulation on trademarks in such a way that it simplifies and reduces the cost of registering trademarks, in other words, protection for the trade names of companies, the namesfiled losses.  With no organized regiments in Arkansas, Hindman was forced to create new units.  He designated several of his new units as Trans-Mississippi Rifle Regiments. Col. Asa S. Morgan's 26th Arkansas Regiment was designated as the 3rd Trans-Mississippi Regiment. Immediately the officers and men begin to refer to themselves as the 3rd Arkansas Regiment. This leads to confusion for researchers who find Col. Van H. Manning's 3rd Arkansas Volunteer Infantry serving under General Lee in the Army of Northern Virginia and a group in Arkansas who insist on also calling themselves the 3rd Arkansas.  General Hindman's reason for the use of this designation isn't clear.  It may have been a way of emphasizing that these units were for use west of the Mississippi


is impossible to be sure which was which because of the illegibility of the original documents.  All of these were assigned as mounted infantry designations, and all of them were ignored by the Confederate Army because the old designations continued to be used in the reports for their commanders. There are occasionally prisoner of war records that utilize the official designations.

The 44th through the 48th Arkansas infantry regiments were raised in the summer of 1864, were mounted in order to accompany Price's 1864 Missouri Expedition, which was planned as an all-cavalry affair.  Rare references list them as mounted infantry, for example, 44th Arkansas Infantry (Mounted). However, they were almost always referred to as Cavalry units (for example 44th Arkansas Cavalry) when the numerical designation was used.of the Confederate States adopted on October 13, 1862. Alternately referred to as "home guard" or
"local defense" companies, these organizations were less concerned with civil order than with military duties. They functioned as a sort of military reserve, military police, and scouts. One of their less popular duties was the enforcement of the Conscription Law. An 1863 letter mentions the Drew County Home Guard using hounds to run down "draft-dodgers".

The later home guards were normally enlisted for a period of twelve months, and were subject to the orders of the Governor. As a matter of interest, here is the oath sworn to by the Ashley County Home Guard when they were enlisted on November 4, 1863, at Hamburg. The following was transcribed from the original manuscript held

“I feel like I'm part of San Francisco, and San Francisco's part of me,” Carol Doda says without irony. Doda's breasts are a San Francisco monument, once called the city's second pair of Twin Peaks. She was America's first noted topless dancer, dazzling audiences at the Condor Club in a topless bathing suit in 1964. Soon after, she became the first celebrity with silicone breast implants (new size: 44DD).

Four decades later, Doda runs a lingerie shop off Union Street in the Marina, which specializes in “hard-to-find sizes.” When we talked to her at her shop, Champagne and Lace, she was putting bustiers back on hangers after a wedding fitting earlier that day.

The next season Kinnear continued to defy the odds and Wimbledon finished 9th in the league. The achievements are made even more respectable considering the Dons had no home of their own and had a small transfer budget.

It was reported that Kinnear turned down the chance to replace Jack Charlton as manager of the Republic of Ireland national team in 1996. Kinnear then guided Wimbledon to semi-finals in both of the major domestic cup competitions in 1997 as well as finishing 8th in the Premier League. However, when Wimbledon were taken over by new Norwegian owners after the end of that season, it was widely reported that Kinnear would be axed as manager in favour of Norwegian coach Age Hareide, but the change of management never happened andKinnear remained at the Wimbledon helm for a further two seasons.[16]

Kinnear continued in his role as Wimbledon until he suffered a heart attack before a league game against Sheffield Wednesday in March 1999. He stood down in June of that year and as was replaced at Wimbledon by Egil Olsen.[13][17] Wimbledon were relegated from the Premier League in the following season.

He could not save the club from relegation, despite purchasing striker Steve Howard for £50,000 on transfer deadline day. In the summer of 2001, Kinnear released the majority of the relegated squad, and brought in a number of his own men over the course of the season, including future captains Kevin Nicholls and Chris Coyne, along with winger Jean-Louis Valois. The team stormed to promotion under Kinnear's guidance,


finishing runners-up to Plymouth Argyle in the Hatters' first promotion in 20 years.

The next season was disappointing for the Hatters, as they were expected to compete for promotion, but in the end they only managed a 9th place finish. In May 2003 the club was sold to a consortium, led by John Gurney,[21] and Kinnear and his assistant Mick Harford were then sacked,[21] in mysterious circumstances[22] which involved an employee of Northampton Town being the person who signed the letters which dismissed both Kinnear and Harford.

Kinnear was out of work until Nottingham Forest offered him the manager's job in February 2004,[23] taking over from Paul Hart.[23] Forest were in the bottom third of the league table when he took over, but he would have an immediate impact onthe club.[24] Kinnear was able to get the club up to 14th position by the end of the 2003–04 season. The following season began with talk of promotion,[25] but would go badly for Forest and Kinnear, with just four wins from the first 23 games in the league that year. A 3–0 defeat to rivals Derby County at Pride Park,[26] signalled the end for Kinnear, with his resignation coming on 16 December 2004.[26][27] Nottingham Forest were 22nd in the Football League Championship table following Kinnear's departure, the club appointed Mick Harford to take over as interim manager. Forest would ultimately be relegated at the end of the season, after Gary Megson had been appointed as the full-time replacement to Kinnear.

Kinnear was without a club following his departure from


Nottingham Forest for almost four years, though there were rumours about joining several clubs during this time including QPR.[28] On 26 September 2008, Kinnear was named as the interim manager of Premier League side Newcastle United until the end of October, following the resignation of Kevin Keegan.[29] This initial one-month period was extended for an additional month, keeping Kinnear at St. James' Park until the end of December.[30][31]

On 2 October 2008, after a controversial start to his tenure at Newcastle, he launched a verbal tirade at the Daily Mirror's journalist Simon Bird calling him a "cunt".[32][33] He swore 52 times in the interview with Bird and other members of the media. The club's press officer tried to order the assembled journalists not to publish any extracts from thetirade, but Kinnear himself gave the journalists permission to write up whatever they wanted from his remarks. Later in the interview, he announced that he would no longer deal with the national media while he was Newcastle manager, and that he would only speak to local newspapers from then on, with first team coach Chris Hughton handling all other interviews.

Kinnear's first two games in charge, against Everton and Manchester City, both ended as 2–2 draws. Kinnear's first win at Newcastle was against West Brom. Newcastle won the match 2–1, with the first goal coming from Joey Barton, who was making his first starting appearance for Newcastle since being released from prison during the summer.[34] He then followed this up with a surprise win against fifth placed Aston Villa


to lift Newcastle off the foot of the table and out of the relegation zone. Two goals from Obafemi Martins secured the 2–0 victory.

On 31 October 2008, Kinnear stated that 22 November would be D–Day with regards to the sale of Newcastle United and his position as manager.[35] This turned out to be untrue, as Kinnear was confirmed as being in charge for another month after Newcastle's 0–0 draw with Chelsea.[36] On 28 November, Kinnear was named as the permanent manager of Newcastle until the end of the 2008–09 season.[37]

Kinnear continued his event filled season in charge by getting sent off on 6 December after a confrontation with referee Mike Riley during a 2–2 draw with Stoke City, having been up by two goals for most of thematch.[38] After that disappointing draw with Stoke they followed with wins against Portsmouth and Tottenham Hotspur, which was Newcastle's fifth consecutive league victory against the North London team.[39]

Following a 5–1 defeat to Liverpool on 28 December, Kinnear re-affirmed his belief that the Newcastle squad lacked strength in depth – with the manager having fielded a makeshift side due to injuries and suspensions resulting from the 2–1 Boxing Day defeat to Wigan – and stated that he was looking to improve the side with transfers in the January window.[40] In January, Kinnear secured the signings of Peter Løvenkrands, Kevin Nolan and Ryan Taylor. The latter had been signed in a part exchanged deal with Charles N'Zogbia. N'Zogbia had frequently stated in the press, via his agent, that he wished


to leave. The final straw came after Kinnear mispronounced N'Zogbia's name during an interview in which he called him 'insomnia'. N'Zogbia stated that he no longer wished to play for Newcastle as long as Kinnear was the manager.[41]Shay Given was also sold to Manchester City for £7m.[42]

On 7 February 2009, Kinnear was taken to hospital after feeling ill, hours before Newcastle's clash with West Brom. The club stated that it was just precautionary and that Chris Hughton would take charge of the team. Newcastle won 3–2, their first win since Christmas. It was later announced Kinnear would need a heart bypass operation[43] and that Alan Shearer would take over the managerial role for the remainder of the season. Joe Kinnear's contract officially expired at Newcastle on 30 May2009.[44]

On 14 August on the 3 Legends radio show, it was announced that Kinnear would be re-appointed as the club's manager the following Monday, this after Kinnear had himself declared that Mike Ashley had approached him to return but that he was unable to do so immediately because of his medical condition. However, with Mike Ashley taking the club off the market and Chris Hughton securing an excellent start to the season for Newcastle, Kinnear did not return to St James' Park.

On 16 June 2013 in a series of telephone interviews Kinnear claimed he had been appointed as Director of Football for Newcastle United.[45] In a Talksport interview over the telephone on 17 June 2013, Kinnear claimed to have replaced someone called "Derek Lambesi" (sic) as the club's


director of football, signed Dean Holdsworth at Wimbledon for £50,000 (actually £650,000), sold Robbie Earle (retired a year after Kinnear left), signed goalkeeper Tim Krul when he was previously manager (actually signed by Graeme Souness three years prior) and has been awarded the LMA Manager of the Year award three times despite only winning the award once, he also said he'd never been sacked in his life.[46][47] Kinnear claimed to have signed John Hartson on a free when he in fact paid £7.5 million for the striker. He also mispronounced the names of Yohan Cabaye, Hatem Ben Arfa, Shola Ameobi, and others in the Talksport interview.[48][49] The appointment, a three-year contract, was confirmed by Newcastle United on 18 June.[50] The confusion around Kinnear's appointment to the role wascriticised by former club chairman Freddy Shepherd in an interview with BBC Sport.[51] Kinnear drew criticism when the 2013 summer transfer window closed with Kinnear failing to make a single permanent signing,[52] lone recruit Loic Remy having been signed on loan from QPR. This criticism intensified at the end of the 2014 winter transfer window with Kinnear failing again to make a permanent signing, this after the £20 million sale of midfielder Yohan Cabaye, with Luuk de Jong having been brought in on loan from Monchengladbach.[53]

On 3 February 2014, Kinnear resigned from his position of Director of Football at Newcastle United.[54][55]

Countless locals who couldn't wait until the weekend to play in oncoming traffic were in attendance for a befuddling Wednesday night at Propaganda. Not to say that any of this was unexpected.

The Back Pockets were the obvious, spectacular draw of the evening. At least a dozen strong, the Atlanta troupe packed the entire stage with giant plush bananas, bags of toffee, and, er, instruments for its performance. This was Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros modeling a line of adult diapers (eat your heart out, Of Montreal), or CocoRosie's family reunion, take your pick.

This diapered fella captured the whole set.

As for the musictogether along for the droning, hypnotic closer.

Boy, but did this level of weirdness set the bar high for the Weird Wives, the final act of the night. With only the drum set on the stage, and the remainder of the West Palm Beach noise-punk outfit in the crowd, the intensity was bubbling over so much that drummer Marcos Marchesani busted his kick drum pedal one song into the set, and proceeded to lay waste to the entire bass drum he was dealt for the evening. After a long, feedback-soaked wait, the barrage of "Sativa Diva" brought a momentary focus to a disorienting and chaotic set. Frontman Nick Klein performed a good portion of it standing on the bar while knocking down anything in his path, standing behind the


Members of Surfer Blood, Guy Harvey, the Jameses, the Clementines, Sumsun, Viva Le Vox, among others. Revelers.

Random Detail 2: A girl wearing a rubber ducky flotation device around her waist accidentally kicked me in the stomach as she was hoisted up during the madness of the Back Pockets. Turns out she agressively sells merch for them when she doesn't have a pacifier in her mouth.

Food Not Bombs

Food Not Bombs (foodnotbombs.net), a grassroots organization dedicated to providing fresh and healthy food to the hungry, cooks in venues such as public parks that allow for preparing and serving simple meals made from largely donated ingredients. The organization's distribution sites are run independently, but freshly grown produce is strongly consistent with its mission. Volunteers are often eager and accommodating when offered access to fresh vegetable donations, even traveling to pick up excess food. The organization's website offers links to information about local chapters throughout the world.

Ample Harvest

Ample Harvest (ampleharvest.org) is a nonprofit organization founded specifically to address the apparent contradiction between the fact that gardeners often have surplus food and the difficulty they experience donating their produce among poor, marginalized populations. Ample


a participle of purpose is interesting--this construction sets forth the ground of belief on which an agent acts and asserts the thought, assertion, or real or presumed intention in the mind of the agent without implying it is the idea of the writer/speaker himself (Smyth sections 2086, 2086c). It's Xenophon's way of letting the reader know that Cyrus said this, and not that it was really true.

He ordered (aorist) each of the commanders of as many garrisons as he was having (imperfect) in the cities to take the most and best Peloponnesian men, (on the grounds) that Tissaphernes had designs upon their cities.

Why the imperfect εἶχε here? I guess it's to convey some sort of customary notion, like "as many garrisons as he would have in the cities.""linking water quality, community health and smart growth." According to a news release, the volunteer group will receive $50,000 worth of "visioning and strategy work, technical analysis, community engagement and the creation of a detailed concept plan."

The Sausal Creek watershed, one of nine major creeks in Oakland, runs through the center of the city. The green, peaceful and idyllic trails, such as in Dimond Canyon Park, feel miles away from the bustle and concrete of an urban city. FOSC founders and early volunteers remember a time when the area was much less inviting.

"People didn't feel comfortable there," said Kathy Kramer, one of the original founders, about what the area was like in 1996. "It was very dark and overgrown."

Volunteers started by picking up trash and removing non-native plants


such as ivy, acacia and Monterey pine.

"As a result of improving that space, illegal activities like drug use, prostitution and gun play decreased," said founding board member Mark Rauzon. "It's a phenomenal thing that we ... this group of people (are) willing to take on a public space."

In addition to donations, the efforts have been funded by grants from Alameda County and the city of Oakland. In the last year, 4,000 volunteers have put in 10,000 hours into maintaining the watershed. Volunteers also monitor water quality and results suggest the creek is cleaner today than it was a decade ago.

Another victory came unexpectedly in 2000 after nearby city sewer lines were replaced and creek banks were secured with rocks and wooden stakes. Instead of drying up that summer,to achieve.

"If people aren't aware (of it), then they aren't aware that the things they do every day affect the creek," McAfee said.

The organization hopes to eliminate trash accumulation near storm drains and other watershed access points.

"At this point, it's really important for us to listen to the community," McAfee said. "We want to work with the community and the community leaders to figure out what the plan is."

With the help of Skeo Solutions, the nonprofit hopes to organize field trips for children at the schools along the creek, as well as find creative and meaningful ways to "highlight the natural and cultural history of that landscape," McAfee said.

The FOSC has also partnered with the National Parks Service Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program and California State University-East


15 variations of Femmes d’Alger between December 1954 and February 1955. Today’s auction for Femmes d’Adger (Version “O”) is the last of the 15 paintings in the series.

Pablo Picasso’s inspiration for Femmes d’Adger comes from the famous 19th century painting by Delacroix, Women of Algiers in their Apartment, which depicts Algerian women in a harem smoking a hookah. The original 15 versions were all owned by the late private New York collectors Victor and Sally Ganz, who bought the entire series from Picasso’s dealer Daniel Kahnweiler in Paris June 1956 for around $250,000. Later the series was broken up and sold to art dealers, and the Femmes d’ Alger (Version “O”) was sold to private collectors.

County Express could resume senior trips busing

H.J. Greenwood, executive director of the Northeast Colorado Association of Local Governments, explains to the Fort Morgan City Council Tuesday night the reasons why NECALG stopped offering bus service to the city for recreational trips, like those through the Fort Morgan Senior Center. That situation could change in 2014, though, he said. (Jenni Grubbs / Fort Morgan Times)

FORT MORGAN — — Providing senior trips may get more affordable again before long for both the city and the passengers, the Fort Morgan City Council heard at Tuesday night.

Northeast Colorado Association of Local Governments Executive Director H.J. Greenwood took the council through why County Express was forced to stop providing transportation for those trips about a


of donations and fees for services.

Greenwood also told the council that County Express provided almost 17,000 on-demand trips in and around Fort Morgan in 2012. The $8,000 from the city went toward being able to offer those rides, which included almost 8,800 related to education.

The charter trips through County Express began around 2009 when now-retired NECALG Executive Director Larry Worth obtained a grant to purchase a large coach.

"It seemed fairly clear that there was a big demand throughout our six counties for groups to go everywhere in the region, as well as out of the region, and there simply was no other resource out here to provide that source," Greenwood said. "We got the large coach and the trips flowed fairly well."

While the auditor brought up the possiblelegal conflict of this system, Worth thought he had found a loophole, due to the trips being for seniors and part of the funding for County Express coming from federal money for programs to benefit seniors.

After Worth retired and Greenwood moved up, the Colorado Department of Transportation advised Greenwood no such loophole existed.

"That was when the service that was kind of limping along kind of got pulled back," Greenwood told the council, apologizing for any problems this caused with trips that already had been planned and then had to find other transportation sources. He said this was not intentional.

But he also told the council that things could turn around soon.

Greenwood said he had been "working through the red tape" and "it appears we have found the appropriate niche


Morgan "by the end of the year."

Fort Morgan City Manager Jeff Wells thanked Greenwood for clarifying the situation and where things stood.

"We really appreciate the relationship we have with NECALG and County Express because they do a lot for our community and for our seniors," Wells said.

That includes the transportation to the Fort Morgan Senior Center for lunchtime meals and the rides provided to the seniors for medical appointments and other things.

"Our only concern was a lot of our senior trips were coordinated through County Express," he said.

When that stopped, the city found out the trips were no longer affordable, as the private coaches were far more expensive, causing them to cost more for the city, which then had to charge the seniors more, Wells said.

The Pop Culture Presidency

The presidential movies and television programs of the last decade and a half make plain the bipolar attitude toward executive power in the United States. The Clinton era saw a burst of big screen portrayals of the President, at least half of which reflected a post-Watergate sensibility, depicting the officeholder as worse than the ordinary run of humanity.

In Clear and Present Danger (1994), for example, top CIA official Jack Ryan (played by Harrison Ford) battles with Colombian drug lords and his own crooked commander-in-chief, who has caused enormous bloodshed by ordering covert actions in defiance of Congress. “How dare you, sir?” Ryan demands ofPresident Bennett in a memorable scene.

In the 1997 thriller Absolute Power, the president’s taste for rough sex leads to an elaborate cover-up after a resisting paramour gets shot by the Secret Service. And in Murder at 1600 (1997), Mars Attacks (1996), Wag the Dog (1997), Primary Colors (1998) and Dick (1999), the Hollywood president was a criminal, a fool or, as often as not — both.

Yet, even amid the silver screen cynicism, the yearning for Camelot persisted. Several of the more popular presidential movies of the 1990s enthusiastically embraced the heroic presidency.

Rob Reiner’s 1995 romantic comedy The American President featured Michael Douglas as President Andrew Shepherd, a Democrat and widower who falls in love with an environmental lobbyist (Annette Bening) and discovers his inner Bobby Kennedy.

Towards the end


both played by Kevin Kline.

“Dave” is an ordinary businessman who, taking advantage of his uncanny resemblance to Mitchell, also moonlights as a presidential impersonator. The real President Mitchell, much like Judson C. Hammond in 1933’s Gabriel over the White House, is an amoral wretch who can’t keep his hands off the help.

Where Hammond fell into a coma after a car accident, Mitchell succumbs to a stroke while having sex with a presidential aide. With the real president incapacitated, his sinister chief of staff tries to seize power by covering up the coma and using Dave Kovic as a figurehead.

Kovic goes along with the scheme initially, but he soon proves impossible to control, deciding that as long as he holds the reins, he ought to use his powers toresearch he did as the screenwriter for The American President, Sorkin sold NBC on the idea of a show designed to counter the prevailing cynicism about politics. Unabashed idealism proved to be a winning formula, as West Wing garnered high ratings and 26 Emmys over its seven-year run.

Yet despite the snappy repartee and often witty scripts, West Wing was a remarkably silly program. Has there ever been a group of real White House staffers as admirable and lovable as the West Wing ensemble, that selfless, high-minded, public-spirited, fundamentally decent pack of…political operators?

Sorkin’s White House existed in a bizarre world where the Oval Office is apparently devoid of office politics. Fans of the show never saw the sort of infighting, backstabbing and jockeying for position that appear in real-world

Billionaire hedge-fund investor David Tepper's Appaloosa Management was a buyer of technology, energy and bank shares in the fourth quarter, according to a Wednesday regulatory filing. Between the end of the third and fourth quarter, Appaloosa boosted its stake in Bank of America Corp. , upping his position by 170% to 10.8 million shares. He also increased his stake in Apple Inc. , raising that investment to 3.2 million shares and raising his stake in Micron Technology Inc. to 10.45 million shares, representing his largest holding according to WhaleWisdom.com. The hedge-fund luminary also lifted his position in Facebook Inc. by about 70% to 2.2 million shares, while adding to his holdings in the tech-heavy PowerShares QQQ Trust Series 1 to 4.3 million shares. Meanwhile, Tepper took aentirety of the summary judgment record establishes that Roberta Shank, as opposed to her husband (Bill Shank), dealt primarily with the York contract.
8. I assume that Roberta Shank sincerely believes that the York contract was terminated for unjustifiable reasons. Nonetheless, she admitted significant deficiencies in the plaintiffs' performance of the York contract before the contract was terminated and both before and after Shank's conversation with Cassidy in August 2005 (discussed in paragraph 9 below). For example:
A. On May 22, 2005, Roberta Shank provided the State of Nebraska with a copy of a letter admonishing one of her male employees in writing for the lack of cleanliness of the York east-bound rest area, the failure to plant seed left by the State of Nebraska, leaving the rest area without


December of 2005, Shank wrote Cassidy and said, "I do appreciate all you guys do for us" and "[y]ou and Alan have been great." (Filing 32-6, at CM/ECF p. 21.) She added that "Carrie is skinny but her eyes were not dilated and her rest area was clean." (Id.) Shank then commented, "We will see how it goes." (Id.)
11. Following the problems of early February of 2006 (which, as discussed above, Shank admitted were "deplorable" and "terrible"), a Nebraska Department of Roads employee claimed that he and his family, who were from Sidney, Nebraska (roughly 300 miles west of York), stopped at the York rest area on March 5, 2006, as they were returning home. (Filing 32-6, at CM/ECF p. 14.) The employee's name was Dennis Connot. OnMarch 14, 2006, Connot wrote an e-mail to Horak bitterly complaining about the conditions at York, and the absence of an attendant, on March 5, 2006. Among other things, he stated that he found that the "rest area was so filthy . . . I wouldn't have watered a cow in it." (Id.) Horak forwarded the e-mail to the Department's legal counsel on March 15, 2006. (Id.)[3]
12. On March 16, 2006, Horak sent the plaintiffs a detailed letter threatening to terminate the contract, setting forth a specific, but not all-inclusive, list of complaints (focusing on the incidents in February of 2006) and warning that the Department of Roads "believes the matters set forth above may constitute sufficient grounds to permit it to exercise its rights under Section 19

Steve Hansen has insisted back-to-back world champions New Zealand are the underdogs for Saturday's rematch with Ireland in Dublin.

All Blacks boss Hansen boasts a 92 per cent win record in his four years at the New Zealand helm, but believes Ireland's historic win in Chicago alters the complexion of Saturday's Aviva Stadium encounter.

Ireland claimed their first-ever win over New Zealand at Soldier Field on November 5, their 40-29 victory breaking a 111-year duck.

New Zealand will field fit-again stellar lock duo Brodie Retallick and Sam Whitelock for Saturday's Dublin Test, with Israel Dagg selected on the wing to counter Ireland's exacting aerial kicking threat.

"As expected, there is huge excitement and anticipation within our squad ahead of this weekend's Test against the Irish," said All Blacks head coach Hansen.

"While theretoo.

The average odds remain with Ireland placed at six to one for victory, with the All Blacks one to nine on to win.

Ireland ended New Zealand's record-breaking 18-match winning streak in Chicago, but boss Joe Schmidt has since insisted his side caught the All Blacks an an "opportune moment" due to injuries.

Retallick and Whitelock's restoration will boost the All Blacks' shape no end.

Retallick has beaten concussion while Whitelock has proved his fitness this week after ankle trouble.

Dagg's selection on the wing is entirely designed to prevent Ireland's hugely-impressive high-ball work, his comfort at full-back and under the garryowen a boost to the defensive qualities in New Zealand's back-three.

Australia's leading race car driver says he is reconsidering road cycling as a training method because of the dangers cyclists face on the road, and has called on drivers to have respect for those on two wheels.

Red Bull Formula One driver Daniel Ricciardo is based in Monaco and like many of his peers has often used cycling as a means of maintaining his fitness levels. But the recent death of former MotoGP champion Nicky Hayden in a cycling accident in Italy, along with other high-profile road cycling deaths in recent years, is prompting a rethink.

Daniel Ricciardo says he will reconsider road cycling. Credit:Getty Images

"It's a tough one," Ricciardo told Fairfax Media before his third in the Monaco Grand Prix. "I'm devastated with the news [about Nicky Hayden] itthe same sources. Some locate him in Britain (because of his use of Britishisms, such as “bloody hard”). Others reckon he is somewhere in the eastern parts of the Americas (because of the timestamps on his e-mails). He has been variously identified as a Finnish sociologist, a Japanese mathematician and an Irish student. The names mentioned most often are Nick Szabo and Hal Finney, two American cryptographers, but the former denies it and the latter died in 2014. Then there is the argument that Mr Nakamoto’s bitcoin code is so good that it must have been written by more than one person.

In March 2014 Newsweek, an American magazine, identified a man living in California, and named Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto, as the real Satoshi, but this turned out to


some could not be confirmed. He now says that the profile was a “joke”—to “take the piss out of myself” and to keep people from bothering him. “No one took me seriously, which was great.”

The current curriculum vitae and other documents released by Mr Wright’s public-relations agency list dozens of industry certifications (“GIAC Business Law and Computer Security”, for instance), former positions (he was once a vice-president of the Centre for Strategic Cyberspace and Security Science, a consultancy based in London), and a handful of degrees. They include a masters in statistics from the University of Newcastle in Australia, a masters in law from Britain’s Northumbria University and several masters in IT and management from Charles Sturt University (CSU), also in Australia. The CV also says that MrWright has submitted his thesis for a doctorate in computer science and lists a doctorate in theology. It finally mentions that he is currently enrolled at University of London in a programme called “Masters of Science in Finance”.

Mr Wright has provided diplomas and other backup material for nearly all of these degrees. Most could be confirmed with the respective universities. He was, for instance, awarded three masters degrees at CSU, where he also taught as an “adjunct lecturer” and where his thesis is under examination, according to Tanveer Zia, his doctoral adviser. His doctorate in theology, however, remains a mystery and Mr Wright does not want to talk about it (“That has no relevance,” he says).

As proof of existence for his supercomputer, another element of the December story


of the original bitcoin white paper. In January Juola & Associates, a firm that uses a technique called “stylometry” to identify authors, released the results of a study that compared texts by Mr Wright with those written by Mr Nakamoto and concluded that they are unlikely to be by the same person. In response Mr Wright says that, although he was the principal author of the white paper, he had extensive help from his friend Dave Kleiman, an American computer-forensics expert who died in 2013. Mr Wright also says that he has many different writing styles, depending on the subject matter.

Mr Wright has certainly written extensively. A list of publications provided by his public-relations agency includes nearly 100 papers, conference presentations, books and book chapters. Most are shorterat the age of 15. College, a job, his mates, love life and money then become the priorities; football is marginalised to the fringes. We’re told to never stop dreaming, but life often moves too fast for dreams.

He’s always been Class. An unreal goal from Jamie Vardy back in 2009 for Stocksbridge. pic.twitter.com/IfZHS53EZT — Football Stuff (@FootbalIStuff) December 1, 2015

Far less often, dreams catch back up with life. Less than six months later, Vardy finally became a full-time professional when signing for Halifax Town. Less than three years later, Vardy joined Leicester City in the Championship. Less than six years later, he made his England debut. Less than seven years later, he broke the the Premier League record for scoring in consecutive matches and won the league title.


and also played at Bracken Moor for Stocksbridge. He scored 89 goals in two seasons for Matlock.

Two days before turning 25, Hannah signed his first professional contract with Bradford City. A manager was sacked, opportunities were limited, goals didn’t flow; Hannah is now at Gainsborough Trinity, back in the Northern Premier League. Vardy’s story was different, but it’s easy to wonder ‘Where did it all go right?’. Vardy did not choose to be scouted or signed or selected or feted or hated. As he says, this just happened.

Vardy’s game was forged in amateur football; that is still conspicuous in the relative refinement and homogeneity of the Premier League. He actively avoids putting on muscle because he believes it slows him down but the power still exists, like agreyhound whose owner’s livelihood depends on fractions of seconds and grams. Vardy is also the great grifter of English football, delighting in riling opponents to gain a psychological advantage. Anyone who has pitched themselves against a gnarled, snarling Sunday League central defender can identify.

Like Wayne Rooney in his pomp, Vardy possesses a football brain and a technical skill that belies his persona and image; athlete meets aesthete. The chip against Tottenham in 2017, the goal against Liverpool in 2016, the volley against West Brom in 2018; each fabulous finish taken at least half a second before the goalkeeper is expecting it. That is the sign of an intelligent forward. Vardy has a natural composure even when performing highly technical actions. The greatest talents are those that seem to


the last ten years. While the other high-profile stars of Leicester’s title-winning team needed to leave the club to sate their professional ambitions, Vardy rejected his big move.

Maybe that was recognition of Leicester’s faith in him and the integral role that faith played in his success. Maybe that was to repay those supporters who adore him like no other player in their lifetimes. Or maybe Vardy just came to the conclusion that there were no bridges left for him to cross. His dreams caught up with his life and surpassed it long ago. There’s no need to force it. It’ll just happen how it happens.

IN 1891, Abdul Rahman, the nominal governor of Riyadh, fled with his family from the city, then under the control of a hated rival.

The Saud family wandered in exile until invited to the city-state of Kuwait, ruled by the Sabah family.

A hundred years later, the Sabahs fled across the same desert in their helicopters and Mercedes-Benzes


just ahead of Saddam Hussein's Iraqi hordes. And the Sabahs, not reputed for their largeness of spirit, do not hesitate to remind their hosts of the old debt.

It would be totally out of character for the low-key present Saudi rulers, however, to say they expect assistance of a similar kind from their current American protectors. Yet as we learn in "The Prize," Daniel Yergin's timely book, long before the assurances of the Carter and Reagan Administrations, President Harry S. Truman virtually committed the United States to the defense of the Saudi realm. In 1950, he wrote to King Ibn Saud that Washington "is interested in the preservation of the independence and territorial integrity of Saudi Arabia," and that threats to the kingdom would be "a matter of immediateconcern to the United States."

These are among the roots and cycles recaptured by Mr. Yergin in a work that deserves to become the standard text on the history of oil. Half historian and half energy expert, Mr. Yergin, the president of Cambridge Energy Research Associates and the author of "Shattered Peace," is almost uniquely qualified for the task. "The Prize" exceeds in comprehensiveness and care the only comparable effort, a study (and a good one) about the major oil companies entitled "The Seven Sisters," by Anthony Sampson.

Historians will point out that Mr. Yergin essentially retells familiar stories. Economists will quibble about his failure to provide a theoretical apparatus to guide the reader through the various rounds of expansion and consolidation in the oil industry. Partisans will lament his


instrumental in the development of the Baku oil fields in the Russian Caucasus, long before his guilt over being the dynamite king inspired his Nobel Prizes.

Not the least of the characters was Mohammed Mossadegh, chosen as Prime Minister of Iran in 1951, when the Shah was pushed aside and the oil fields nationalized. Truman dispatched Averell Harriman to explain to Mossadegh that he couldn't expect more for a barrel of oil than the oil companies earned. When told by Mr. Harriman that nothing can be larger than the sum of its parts, the Prime Minister responded, "That is false." Consider the fox, he continued. "His tail is often much longer than he is." And the Prime Minister laughed uproariously. He later explained to the American envoy that hecould not survive if he compromised on oil pricing because of the power of the Ayatollah Seyed Kashani. Harriman, ever determined, visited the Ayatollah, who told him all foreigners were evil, and that those who interested themselves in oil could find themselves butchered.

Perhaps the most colorful of all the oil lions was Calouste Gulbenkian, a financier and deal-maker from Istanbul who played a pivotal role in bringing together money and oil before the turn of the century in Russia, and thereafter in the Middle East. His shrewdness earned him the sobriquet Mr. Five Percent. But for Mr. Yergin, his most endearing quality was his reputation for being "totally and completely untrusting."

Untrusting and, Mr. Yergin could have added, with a clearsighted understanding of the power of oil. Some of


According to Wikipedia, screenwriter Charlie Kaufman always had Malkovich in mind due to his acting style and the sound of his name. Later, Malkovich took an interest in producing the film, but it took years until he was convinced to play himself in it.Attempting to create unprecedented art, many Gutai artists experimented with materials that challenged the boundaries of art. Some artists who challenged the art making method are Saburo Murakami who punctured paper with his body, Atsuko Tanaka who schematically wired alarm bells and wore a dress made of flashing lightbulbs, and Shozo Shimamoto who shot paint from cannons and threw bottles of paint from elevated surfaces. Kazuo Shiraga, the "foot painter," wrestled in cement, gravel, clay, plaster, pebbles, and twigs in what he called "Challenging Mud" and then went on to create works in which he would suspend himself over a canvas and paint with his toes. His work "married theory with practice" which was one of Gutai's aspirations. The mediums used to produce Gutai art had no restrictions.

Anthony McCoy is a federal inmate in Lisbon, Ohio, who was formerly held at the Federal Correctional Institution in Greenville, Ill. ("Greenville"). McCoy claims that he suffered cruel and unusual punishment at the hands of Greenville's correctional officers, who allegedly beat him in late October 1995 in retaliation for his involvement in a prison riot that occurred earlier in the month. The districtand, upon review, we have not discovered any evidence that would disprove McCoy's statement. Nevertheless, according to McCoy, Nelson and the others handcuffed him, slammed his head against the cell door, and dragged him into another room used for strip searches. They cut his shirt off, slapped him across the face, and forced him to stand with his nose against the wall. While McCoy stood forlornly, the appellees repeatedly beat him in the rib area with riot sticks. After they completed their assaults, they returned McCoy to his cell, where they continued to verbally taunt him. A few minutes later, the appellees threw another inmate into McCoy's cell and left both men there, bare naked, for the rest of the night.

BOP and the U.S. Department of Justice investigated


attention, and cooperated with the Justice Department's investigation of the prison riot by recounting the events over which he had personal knowledge. Greenville's medics treated McCoy for his injuries, and the guards forwarded McCoy's concerns to the warden. The Justice Department's investigation was launched independently of McCoy's casual discussions, and it was calculated to effectuate reform on an institutional level, not to identify and respond to the particular grievances harbored by individual inmates. Greenville may have known that McCoy was angered about the guards' conduct, but McCoy failed to properly and adequately notify the prison that he sought monetary damages and intended to file suit. Therefore, the institution cannot be faulted for failing to address McCoy's grievance to his satisfaction.

The letter warns that not only does the secularization damage the Church’s connection with the past and ability to grapple with the future, but it also “destabilizes the sense of adoration that is at the heart of the Christian faith” by effectively selling out to secular trends. By molding Church music to different secular trends, recent practices also endanger the Church’s ability to truly exalt and praise good cultural traditions, they note.

“The secularism of popular musical styles has contributed to a desacralization of the liturgy, while the secularism of profit-based commercialism has reinforced the imposition of mediocre collections of music upon parishes,” the declaration states.

The isolated perfused liver response to a 'second hit' of portal endotoxin during severe acute pancreatitis.
During severe acute pancreatitis (AP), the liver may show an exaggerated response to the inflammatory products of gut injury transported in the portal vein. Our aim was to explore liver proinflammatory mediator production after a 'second hit' of portal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) during AP. Twenty-four rats underwent one of three 'first-hit' scenarios: (1) severe AP induced by intraductal glycodeoxycholic acid injection and intravenous caerulein infusion, (2) sham laparotomy, or (3) no first intervention. Eighteen hours later, all animals received a 'second hit' of portal LPS in an isolated liver perfusion system. Tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin (IL)-1beta, and IL-6 concentrations were measured in portal and systemic serum, and in the perfusate 30 and 90Maiden points for Tappy

1 January 1901

Duncan Tappy was thrilled to score his first World Series by Renault points in only his third race after keeping his head where others were losing theirs in Hungary.

After a difficult maiden outing at Silverstone, Tappy was much happier with his RC Motorsport machine around the Hungaroring to qualify 16th and battle his way up to 11th by the end of the first lap following a good start.

Although the hot weather made conditions difficult for the drivers, Tappy defied his lack of comparative experience to move further and further up the field as other drivers fell by the wayside.

Eventually, Tappy would cross the line in sixth place to score five valuable points for both himself and the struggling RC Motorsport team.

In 1980, Hazare started the Grain Bank at the temple, with the objective of providing food security to needy farmers during times of drought or crop failure. Rich farmers, or those with surplus grain production, could donate a quintal to the bank. In times of need, farmers could borrow the grain, but they had to return the amount of grain they borrowed, plus an additional quintal as an interest. This ensured that nobody in the village ever went hungry or had to borrow money to buy grain. This also prevented distress sales of

On Friday, it was confirmed that the Cheetahs are one of the two South African sides that will no longer compete in Super Rugby from next year, with the Free State outfit now set to join a revamped Pro12 competition in Europe.

ruminants since 1970 and become endemic in the country. An eradication campaign has been carried out since 1993, as an interim programme between 1993 to 1995 and as a full programme up to 1997. The vaccination of pregnant animals has led to abortions and, as a result, this policy was abandoned. To date, only young replacement females are vaccinated. Following a national eradication campaign the number of human cases declined significantly but ceasing the campaign has led to re-emergence of the disease. Cattle brucellosis due to B. melitensis has been successfully controlled with limited sporadic emerging events that have occurred since this campaign. A test and slaughter programme that is integrated with due vaccination of young replacement animals is proposed to facilitate control of the disease with theSarah Thomson. The latest in a long line of women, from before Anita Hill on, to fall victim to the reality that many men (and sadly women) will take the word of a rich or powerful male, or excuse their behaviour, over the completely plausible claims of a woman. Even when, as in this case, the man in question has a long history of having a problem with the truth.

To those who have somehow missed the latest scandal to hit Toronto's Ford administration, Thomson is a former mayoral candidate who ran against Toronto's present mayor Rob Ford in 2010, and who says that Ford groped her and made inappropriate comments to her at a social function a week ago.

Her account has been disputed, of course, by the mayor,


health issues, this has no bearing, at all, on the legitimacy of her claims. This tactic of claiming that a woman who suffers from mental health issues is disqualified from being taken seriously when she makes accusations of sexual assault is an old and particularly vile one. One would have hoped that it had been relegated to a previous era unenlightened as to the realities of sexual assault, but apparently this is not the case.

Much of the print media has joined in the action, casting doubt on Thomson's claims in columns and opinion pieces in ways they never would were it to involve someone other than the far right's Teflon mayor. Examples range from a totally disingenuous column in the Toronto Sun by Jerry Agar stating that Thomson'sstory "lacks consistency" (and, among other things, citing the online news poll of a right-wing talk radio station as "evidence" that Torontonians agree with him!) to the appalling column by Christie Blatchford that starts with a heart-warming anecdote about how proud her dad was when a famous hockey player grabbed her knee under the table at a dinner event when she was a young woman and ends by telling Thomson that if she was unwilling to go to the police and if "she believed the mayor had just been a boor, she should have kept her mouth shut; wherever did the notion of discretion among ostensibly capable adults go?".

How very original of Ms. Blatchford, telling a woman who says she has been groped or assaulted by a powerful

EELS GET BUSY

Round 19

Parramatta utility Will Smith has extended his contract for another season.

The 25-year-old joined the Eels this season after three seasons with Penrith where he made his NRL debut.

Having filled a role in the halves and hooker, Smith’s extension was signed off on some weeks ago and is now contracted until the end of 2018.

Market Watch can also confirm the Eels have taken up an option in their favour on Nathan Davis for 2018.

The centre rejoined the club earlier in the year from the Gold Coast.

Davis made his NRL debut at the Titans lastyear but was granted an early release from his contract to return to his junior club.

Market Watch can reveal the winger turned fullback sacrificed a whopping $100,000 a season to re-sign with the Knights.

Ross had a two-year offer from an NRL rival but the flyer’s love for the club and the Knights’ willingness to offer a third season cemented the deal.

Electrical power grids around the world have been infiltrated by hackers.

Researchers from Symantec, a security company, found evidence that hundreds of power grid sites across the US, Turkey and Switzerland were hit in a massive hacking campaign they are calling Dragonfly 2.0.

The campaign, which started as early as 2011, included malicious emails sent to targets who worked in the energy industry, Symantec said. The first attacks quieted down in 2014, but started back up again in December 2015, with a phishing email disguised as a New Year's Eve party invite.

Symantec warned that hackers now have login credentials and access to multiple power grids around the world, with the potential to cause blackouts.
