At that point, deputies said the parolee started shooting and they returned fire.

During the gun battle, the man who lived at the home, identified by neighbors as Frank Mendoza, was shot.

The deputies were able to pull Mendoza out of the line of fire, but he did not survive his wounds.

Following an hourslong standoff, the suspect, identified as 24-year-old Cedric Ramirez, was later shot and killed after a deputy-involved shooting, according to the Sheriff's Department.

center of the supply trunk run, had about 20 feet of supply on each side of the AH. He then added the new unit at the far end of the house in the garage and tied the main trunk from the new AH into the end of the old trunk. Basically this gave me a total length of about 60 feet of supply trunk with 3 very sharp 90 degree turns just off the AH. The AH is set up to run 2150 CFM, I have 19 - 6" diameter supply lines off of this trunk which I think is okay for 2150 CFM, the problem is the trunk is only 8" X 16".

The writer listed several facts which he felt demonstrated why reparations are not necessary and not fair. One of these facts was the fact that black Americans in the United States today earn, on average, around 20 times more than blacks living in Africa, and therefore, according to the author, descendents of slaves are actually far better off today than the people who remained behind. A second author, writing about the advertisement, stated only that "the first author said that blacks were better off being slaves.", but didn't explain the facts the first author had shared. Imagine if you read the second author's report and weren't familiar with the first author's position. You would think

With all apologies going out to Paul Chelimo who won the 3000 in 7:44 (as a 7:44 3000 is a better performance in an absolute sense than a 3:39 1500), the biggest story coming out of the second high performance meet last night at Portland’s House of Track was Andrew Wheating‘s season-opening win in 3:39 in the men’s 1500. Wheating, the 28-year-old, two-time Olympian who ran 3:30.90 in 2010 (a time that makes him the 4th fastest in US history), has struggled mightily in recent years as he hasn’t broken 3:34 since and has only run 3:37, 3:38, and 3:38 the last three years.

After the race, several media members caught up with a very upbeat Wheating.

In an interview with DyeStat/RunnerSpace, Wheating was also very upbeat about his first race on a 200-meter banked track since his senior year of college in 2010 when he finished as the runner-up to freshman Robby Andrews at NCAA indoors.

It was phenomenal. I wanted to win – when you race, you race to win – I wanted that immediately, but more importantly, I wanted to finish the race feeling comfortable – like everything was under control. I didn’t strain myself to do anything. It was everything that I asked for. I wanted to win – got it. I wanted to end healthy and comfortable – I got it.

March 26, 2015 may go down in history as the day that Arab states came out into the open to fight, putting their names and ordnance into a conflict that had been carried out by shadowy armed groups the governments quietly equipped, sheltered and cosseted, previously preserving a deniability that only muddied the situation even further.

Saudi Arabia declared it sent 100 warplanes to strike targets inside Yemen, and now has 150,000 troops standing by at the border. The intervention was backed by nine other nations, and the announced “logistical and intelligence” support of Washington, where the Saudis chose to convene the news conference revealing the campaign. The governments lined up behind the Saudis were all fellow Sunni governments—Egypt, Jordan, Sudan, Morocco,


direction as al-Qaeda and Daesh,” said Mohammad Javad Zarif, referring to ISIS by its Arabic initials.

The warning was a bit disingenuous, given Iran’s role as overlord of the Shia side of the divide. Tehran has been an essential ally of the Shi’ite-inflected Syrian regime led by President Bashar Assad, and a major player in Iraq, where on Thursday, three of the Shi’ite militias it backs announced they were dropping out of the fight for Tikrit, to protest the new American role in the battle.

In Yemen, Tehran is the primary sponsor of the Houthi tribe, providing training, arms and money. The Houthis were once largely confined to the country’s north, seat of its Zaidi brand of Shi’ism, but in September they took over the capital city of Sana. Afterlinking up with Ali Abdullah Saleh, the longtime Yemeni president who was deposed during the Arab Spring, the Houthis marched on the southern port of Aden, where the elected president, Abed Raggo Mansour Hadi had been holed up before fleeing Yemen by boat ahead of Wednesday’s airstrikes. He was later seen meeting with the Saudi defense minister.

In peace, Yemen is an amazing country to visit. It doesn’t look like anywhere else on Earth, except maybe the illustrations in a storybook. It’s also an ideal example of what happens when a state collapses—or really, never coalesces in the first place. And that lesson really explains what the United States is doing in both Yemen and Iraq.

States were designed to bring coherence to human affairs, first and foremost by monopolizing


in the south—as recently as 1990, when the collapse of the Soviet Union brought the cleavage to an end. Tribal authority has often trumped the state’s. And the country’s long border is with Saudi Arabia, that seat of Sunni power, and great regional rival of Tehran. Yemen, known as Arabia Felix, or “Happy Arabia” was so close to the Saudi kingdom that the border was not even demarcated until June 2000, in an agreement signed by Saleh.

So the Iranians are not terribly bothered by turmoil in Yemen, especially if the turmoil ends—as it looked like it might—with the Houthis more or less in charge, by dint of their new alliance with Saleh, and the large sections of the Yemeni military that remain loyal to him. But the endand had moved it to the dog house. The defendant’s husband told officers that the duffel

        At the sentencing hearing, the defendant testified that she had an eleven-year-old daughter
and was in the process of divorcing her husband. She said that although she was not actively
involved in the manufacturing of drugs, she was aware of what was going on in her home and used
drugs. She said she had no prior criminal record and had been employed periodically over the last
ten years. She said she was promised a job at Cracker Barrel


restaurant upon her release from jail
and intended to live with her mother and daughter. She said she had been in jail for eighty-seven
days and had thought about what she had done. She said she had concluded that drugs are not worth
it and that making a good life for her daughter was the most important thing to her now.

        On cross-examination, the defendant admitted that she had written a number of worthless
checks and had been allowed to pay them off without being convicted. She explained that she did
not know the checks were worthless and had written them before she was fired from her job at
Bridgestone but did not have the money to cover them by the time they were cashed. She saidshe
had never participated in cooking methamphetamine and did not know how often it was produced

manufactured but stated that she would take her daughter elsewhere whenever this was taking place.

        Laura Prosser, who prepared the defendant’s presentence report, testified that the defendant
had no previous convictions. She said the defendant had been arrested before but the resulting
charges were all dismissed or retired. She said the defendant admitted using drugs since 1992. She
said the defendant reported that her husband had abused her physically and mentally for the last five

Nordic Junior Athletics Championships

The Nordic Junior Athletics Championships () is an annual outdoor track and field competition for athletes under-20 from the Nordic countries – Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Iceland. Athletes must be 19 years of age or younger by December 31 of the year the championship is held. Finland and Sweden have chosen to set a lower age limit of 18, except for athletes competing in relay races only. Norway, Denmark and Iceland have chosen not to have a lower age limit.

The competition was founded in 1950 as the Nordic U21 Junior Match. For much of its early history, it was a competition between Finland, Sweden and Norway only, with that being the arrangement until 1983, with exceptions of the 1962, 1964, and 1979 championships. TheThe Condition of Women in Saudi Arabia

There are two categories women on the planet earth, one who lives in a developed country has access to education, financial security, and she is free to do as a citizen she wants. In the same time, there are countries where women are raised as second-class citizens, and somehow due to social pressure women accept this.

In August 2019, one of the regressive countries for women has lifted bans against women. Regretfully That brought a resentment among the fundamentalist and orthodox.

The National Oral Health Action Plan for Wales (2007) included the development of a National Child Oral Health Improvement Programme, namely Designed to Smile, aimed at implementing sustainable toothbrushing programmes in school and nurseries, providing free toothbrushes and fluoride toothpaste to participating children, and additional fluoride varnish and fissure sealant programmes.^[@CR9785]^

In 2008, the D2S Programme was piloted in North and South East Wales, before being expanded to involve all Health Boards from September 2009. Responsibility for the implementation of D2S was allocated to the Community Dental Services, who organise and co-ordinate all aspects of the programme, with strategic support from Dental Public Health.

Since these celebrations, the academic year of 2019/2020 has now developed to become one of two halves for the D2S programme as a result of the global outbreak of COVID-19, which began to emerge in the UK in early 2020. The subsequent closure of schools, nurseries and other services involved in the delivery of D2S has forced a stop to the preventative and educational activities central to the programme.

277 Kan. 432 (2004)
85 P.3d 686
STATE OF KANSAS, Appellee,
v.
JEREMY ALLEN NORTON, Appellant.
No. 89,013.
Supreme Court of Kansas.
Opinion filed March 19, 2004.
Nathan B. Webb, assistant appellate defender, argued the cause and was on the brief for appellant.
Don L. Scott, county attorney, argued the cause, and Phill Kline, attorney general, was with him on the brief for appellee.
The opinion of the court was delivered by
ALLEGRUCCI, J.:
Jeremy Norton was convicted by a jury of one count of possession of methamphetamine with intent to sell, one count of possession of methamphetamine, and one count of possession of marijuana. He was sentenced to a controlling term of 42 months' imprisonment. Norton appealed his convictions and sentences. In an unpublished opinion filed August 29, 2003, the Court *433 of Appeals affirmed. This court granted Norton'sOfficer Schnoor until the time of Norton's trial on January 24-25, 2002. He estimated that he had worked with authorities on 25 to 30 cases.
Norton and Gomez had been friends since grade school. Gomez testified that in June 2001, Norton, while visiting in Liberal, asked him if methamphetamine would sell there. Gomez told him it would. Norton asked Gomez about the local price and if Gomez could sell some methamphetamine if Norton were to bring it to Liberal. Gomez said he could. Later, they had several telephone conversations.
On July 7, 2001, Norton checked into a motel in Seward County. His vehicle had a Nebraska license plate. Norton testified that he was in Liberal on that date to visit his brother, niece, and nephews.
Gomez testified that when Norton telephoned


him to say he was in town, Gomez went to the motel room and talked with Norton. According to Gomez, Norton said that he brought methamphetamine with him to sell, and Gomez told Norton to give him some time to get the money and he would buy an ounce.
Gomez testified that when he was unable to reach his KBI handler, he called John Schnoor. Schnoor was a sheriff's deputy with *434 primary duties in narcotics investigation. While working as a narcotics detective for the Liberal police, he had arrested Gomez and "rolled him over to work . . . as an informant." Gomez told Schnoor that Norton was in a motel in Liberal holding 2 ounces of methamphetamine for distribution. Schnoor told Gomez to purchase one ounce at$1,000 at the motel room and to set up a later controlled purchase away from the motel room to facilitate the arrest of Norton.
Before Gomez went to Norton's motel room, Schnoor searched him and his vehicle. Even though informants were required to wear recording devices in 95-99% of cases, Schnoor did not put a recording device on Gomez due to Gomez' concern that Norton would at least pat him down in the motel room. Schnoor photocopied the currency before giving it to Gomez and followed him to the motel. Schnoor watched from across the street. After a short time, Gomez came out of the room, got into his vehicle, and drove back to the meeting place with Schnoor. Gomez handed Schnoor "a bag containing rocks." Back at his


office, Schnoor field tested the rocks, which were positive for methamphetamine. Schnoor searched Gomez and his vehicle. Gomez told Schnoor what had taken place in the room, and Schnoor asked questions about the contents of the room in preparation for applying for a search warrant. Gomez said that Norton had a pit bull dog and a travel bag with him in the room.
Schnoor further testified that on the evening of July 7 he received a cell phone call from Gomez advising that he had arranged by telephone with Norton to have him bring the other ounce of methamphetamine to a car wash. No recording was made of Gomez' telephone conversation with Norton. Schnoor notified other sheriff's deputies to stop Norton's vehicle. Norton was stopped and a white rockin a plastic bag was found in his right front pocket, and he was arrested. The rock material tested positive for methamphetamine.
Schnoor got a search warrant for Norton's motel room. Animal Control removed the dog, and the sheriff's deputies searched the room. They found more methamphetamine, some marijuana, and $1,700. One thousand dollars of the money was money Schnoor *435 had photocopied. They also found a knife, some plastic bags, and ledger notes with names and numbers that Schnoor believed to be an account of drug transactions.
Gomez testified that when he went to Norton's motel room to buy the first ounce of methamphetamine, he told Norton that there were a couple of other men who were driving to Liberal for the other ounce and that they would arrive


in an hour or two. Gomez told Norton that he was going over to a friend's house for a barbeque and that he would meet Norton at the car wash later. After going to the barbeque, Gomez talked to Schnoor and then called Norton to tell him to come to the car wash. Norton agreed. He was arrested between the motel and the car wash.
Norton's theory of defense was that Gomez framed him by first bringing drugs and then money into his motel room and finally getting Norton to deliver some of the drugs to Gomez at another location. Norton testified that Gomez contacted him before he went to Liberal and asked him to bring some drugs with him. He saw Gomez before he checked into the motel.Norton was driving, and he saw Gomez standing on a friend's porch. Norton stopped and they talked about hanging out together. Norton testified that he had with him about $700, which he had earned painting a house. He denied taking any drugs into the motel room with him.
Norton testified that Gomez brought baggies of what Norton thought might be cocaine or methamphetamine when he came to the motel room. Gomez asked if he could leave it in Norton's room, and Norton said he could. Gomez put it in the drawer in the desk. Then they drove to Gomez' house, where he got a scale and some marijuana. He gave the marijuana to Norton. They went back to the motel room, and Gomez weighed one of the rocks from


the drawer. It weighed 3 ounces, and he took it with him when he left. Gomez said he would be back in a little bit. When he returned approximately 30 minutes later, Gomez had some money in his hand. Norton counted the money, as Gomez told him to do. It was $1,000. Gomez asked if he could leave it there, and Norton laid it on the desk. Gomez took the other baggie and left, saying he would telephone in about an hour. Later Gomez called and said to bring the "toy" (the methamphetamine) to the car wash. Norton was *436 stopped by police as he was driving to the car wash. He had the methamphetamine that he was taking to Gomez in his right pocket.
Norton was charged withmotion for new trial was that Gomez, the confidential informant who testified that he and Norton engaged in one drug sale and intended to transact another, was arrested for crimes involving methamphetamine with intent to sell. The trial court found that Gomez came under investigation on February 5, 2002, less than 2 weeks after Norton's trial was completed on January 25, 2002. Gomez was arrested on February 9, 2002.
The evidence at the hearing on the motion for new trial showed that law enforcement officers had reason to suspect that Gomez was involved in drug trafficking at least by January 28, 2002. KBI Agent Kevin Campbell testified that when he was in Liberal on January 28 testifying in a preliminary hearing, an unidentified "cooperating individual" told Campbell that he


could buy narcotics from Gomez. On February 5, 2002, when Campbell and other KBI agents were again in Liberal, the "cooperating individual" made a controlled telephone call to Gomez about purchasing narcotics.
Campbell was surprised that Gomez was selling drugs because Gomez was supposed to be working for him at that time. Campbell testified that around Christmastime 2000, a suspect, who Campbell working as an undercover agentwanted to buy marijuana from, went to Gomez' house to get the marijuana to sell to Campbell. *437 Campbell learned from Schnoor that it was Gomez' house. When Schnoor and Campbell talked to Gomez, he "admitted that he was given an X amount of drugs to give to this guy later on." Gomez turned over to Schnoor and Campbell the remaining quarter poundthe motion in Leon-Lopez. Orellana argued that the conviction of Sanchez, the informant who testified against him, "would tend to show the existence of on-going criminal acts by Sanchez which in turn proves that he lied at Orellana's trial." Slip op. at 2. Because there was no evidence that Sanchez committed perjury during Orellana's trial and Sanchez's subsequent conviction was unrelated to his original testimony, evidence of the conviction would not serve to contradict Sanchez's testimony. The court stated that use of the new evidence for impeachment purposes only was not a valid reason for a new *440 trial. The court concluded its discussion by stating: "Furthermore, Sanchez's testimony was extensively corroborated by other evidence at trial." Slip op. at 3. In consequence, the court found "that the


"Nothing is offered to contradict Peden's version of the facts; which was, moreover, corroborated at trial by another witness." 446 F.2d at 782.
In United States v. Spencer, 4 F.3d 115 (2d Cir. 1993), the Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's denial of the motion for new trial of one of the defendants, Bloomer. He was convicted of manufacturing methamphetamine over a number of years in the chemistry laboratory in his home and distributing it through a certain network of individuals. His federal sentence calculation took into account the methamphetamine produced, which was based in part on the testimony of McMahon, a Vermont State Police forensic chemist, who testified he found traces of methamphetamine on lab equipment located in Bloomer's home. 4 F.3d at 118. After his conviction,Schnoor that Norton was in town in possession of methamphetamine. Although Schnoor patted Gomez down and searched his vehicle before and after Gomez visited Norton's motel room the second time in order to be able to show that the methamphetamine in the motel room was there when Gomez went in, Schnoor's efforts were nullified as corroborating evidence by Gomez' testimony that he went to the motel room before contacting Schnoor. A recording device on *442 Gomez when he went to Norton's room might have provided corroborating evidence, but Schnoor allowed Gomez to go without one. Likewise, a recording device was not used for telephone conversations between Gomez and Norton. The State, as a result, was unable to report their communications, was unable to corroborate Gomez' testimony that Norton


The secessionist movement in southern Yemen has become increasingly violent in recent months and has gained considerable momentum since it first attained a loose organizational structure in 2007. The prospect of a renewed civil war ensuing between southern forces and the central government in Sana’a, Yemen’s capital, seems highly possible. There are also concerns that the movement may eventually decide to cooperate with al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) in an attempt to undermine President Ali Abdullah Saleh, despite the dismissal of such assertions by some southern leaders.

Since North and South Yemen united in 1990, unemployment and poverty have risen in the south, a region which contains the majority of Yemen’s land and its most important oil facilities. Many southerners believe they are deliberately discriminated against in areasof employment, government services, economic development and political governance. Tribal law and some previously outlawed traditions such as child marriage have also resurged in the south, in stark contrast to the secularism and relative gender equality of South Yemen’s earlier socialist rule (The National [Abu Dhabi], March 6).

Calls for secession and anti-government demonstrations have intensified amid growing violence. Ali Salim al-Beidh, a former leader of the Yemeni Socialist Party (YSP) who has resumed his political career in exile to become one of the southern movement’s leading figures, recently demanded that a U.N. commission recognize an independent South Yemen with Aden as its capital. He also warned that Yemen would suffer “catastrophic consequences” if the Arab world – particularly the Gulf States – fail to intervene on behalf of


southern Yemenis in their pursuit of sovereignty (AFP [Dubai], May 21).

Violent clashes between security forces and separatists are occurring more frequently:

• Eight people were wounded in clashes with Yemeni security forces in al-Daleh governorate during the funeral of four civilians killed on June 6 (Middle East Online, June 15).

• Gunmen assassinated senior security official Jalal al-Uthmani in Abyan governorate on June 13. Two soldiers were also killed trying to defuse a bomb left at the gate of an army camp (Reuters, June 13).

• On June 10, between 10 and 12 people were wounded when government troops fired on southern protestors in al-Daleh (AFP, June 10).

• Just three days earlier, on June 7, six people were killed and 17 wounded in what witnesses described as “indiscriminate” shelling by thehas attempted to suppress the movement by setting up regional checkpoints blocking the flow of people and goods, but such measures have only exacerbated tensions. President Saleh has also sought the use of political means. He announced in a speech on Unification Day (May 22) that amnesty would be given to approximately 300 imprisoned southern separatists, Houthi rebels and journalists. Saleh also hinted at creating a unity government to open up Yemen’s political process and begin talks on setting the first parliamentary elections since 2003 (Aden Press, May 24).

Opposition forces welcomed the amnesty, but skepticism remains about the seriousness of the government’s intentions. Although approximately 134 southern separatists have reportedly been released, the arrests of activists continue, according to southern leader Yahya Ghaleb al-Shuaybi (Gulf Times, June 8).


Image copyright Getty Images Image caption Shalabh Kumar, founder of the Republican Hindu Coalition,

When Indian-American industrialist Shalabh "Shalli" Kumar donated close to a million dollars to the Trump campaign, many in the community dismissed it as a poor investment.

But today, Mr Kumar is the go-to guy not just for Indian-Americans chasing opportunities in the new administration but apparently for the Indian officials seeking contacts with Trump aides.

A leading Indian TV channel NDTV introduced him as "the man with a direct line to Trump" on their show. Another top-ranking Diaspora website, The American Bazar, has called him "the most influential Indian-American power broker" in DC.

And Kumar isn't complaining about this new celebrity status. "I would like to be the bridge between the two sides," he told the BBC. "Ihave arranged two big meetings between Indian officials and leading figures in the Trump team."

A majority in the Indian immigrant community have traditionally supported Democrats and Trump's anti-immigrant campaign rhetoric seemed to have further alienated many.

Kumar says he and his Republican Hindu Coalition mobilised Hindu Indian-Americans votes in swing states like Florida.

Their message? Trump was the anti-terrorism candidate, and would help India and US see greater collaboration in defence, energy and manufacturing.

Trump's anti-Muslim rhetoric did appeal to some Hindus, but whether that actually swayed the community at large is unclear.

Kumar is not the only one whose stock has soared with a Trump victory.

Pakistani-American Sajid Tarar, who is a Muslim, and Sikh-American Jesse Singh, sided with Mr Trump at the peak of his anti-Muslim barbs. They were pilloried by


their own communities for doing so. One exit poll suggested more than three-quarters of Muslims voted for Clinton.

Mr Tarar's Facebook inbox used to be swamped with negative messages, calling him a "disgrace to Pakistan and Islam".

But on the morning of 9 November, his phone wouldn't stop ringing. Mr Tarar had more than 80 messages congratulating him on Mr Trump's victory and how he had made Pakistan proud.

He says the Pakistan embassy reached out to him to facilitate a call between Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and the President-elect.

"I sent out a few emails and the call happened," says Mr Tarar, a real estate businessman.

"The ambassador later called to thank me."

Mr Singhwas branded a "traitor" for supporting Trump and claims to have been subjected to "personal attacks at community gatherings".

"I was always confident that he would win. But I also realised that when he wins, our community will be nowhere on his radar.

"So, despite all the hate messages I decided to stick with him,'' says Mr Singh.

Both Mr Tarar and Mr Singh have been approached by community members with resumes, looking for jobs in the new administration.

On Saturday, they were also part of the group leading the prayers at the National Cathedral as part of Mr Trump's inauguration celebrations.

Kumar, Tarar and Singh were high-profile examples of diverse supporters for the Trump campaign, which relied primarily on a predominantly white support base to win the election.

But with the need for


photo-ops gone, will there still be a role for them in the coming days?

Mr Kumar, who was part of the transition team on finance, says he is working to triple the amount of trade between the US and India and create jobs in both countries.

He's made three trips to India since the election results were announced. His Twitter account has a picture of him hugging Indian Yoga guru Baba Ramdev, mentioning a discussion to create 100,000 yoga related jobs in the US.

Tonight the JP Morgan Sevens final takes place in Bath. Defending champions London Irish will not be there, having finished third in their pool last weekend.

Nor will the senior squad be shipping up to Boston tomorrow.

There was talk earlier in the summer of an exhibition match against a United States development side.

Much as the NFL would like to develop a rugby union presence in the US at club level, the time was not right.

The plug was pulled before fans had the chance to part with their cash.

The same cannot be said of the Spanish.

London Irish amateur club, the Wild Geese, are fielding their first team against Tonbridge. It was a very successful season last year that saw the Geese crowned National 3 South West champions and promoted to Division 2.

Both the amateur club and the Academy have benefitted from the closer relationship between the professional and amateur arms of the club. This relationship started last year.

The previous arrangement dual-registering professional players with both London Welsh and London Irish could not continue when the former were promoted to the same league as the latter.

Even though Welsh’s stay in the Premiership was brief, there has been no indication that Irish are keen to return to the previous arrangement.

Last weekend the Geese hadtwo of their players, Scott Moore and George Owen, picked for the JP Premiership 7s qualifying group at Allianz Park.

In return seven academy players are starting tomorrow for the Geese.

The amateurs will no doubt be somewhat relieved that these lads are not being called up for duty in Bath tonight.

A total of 23 micro effects occurring in mutual friendships, upper faceA commitment to God, country, and family for decades guided the path of one of the most well-liked South Arkansas legislators. Bobby Newman would serve portions of Union and Ouachita County for 30 years, ushering in important changes for the area.

Bobby Gene Newman was born in 1926 in El Dorado at the height of the oil boom and the middle of three sons. His father, B. A. Newman, worked in the boiler room at the nearby Lion Oil refinery for 46 years and walked to work every day.

Newman graduated from high school in 1944. He had earned an appointment to the U. S. Naval Academy, but he his color blindness prevented his entry. Nevertheless, he insisted on serving his country and later entered the navy as an enlisted


man. He later completed a degree in business and physical education at Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia in 1950 and earned a masters degree in business from the University of Arkansas. He married Mary Elizabeth Raper in 1952 and had two children together. After graduation, he coached football for Blytheville High School for one year while she taught.

He returned to South Arkansas and took a job as a soap salesman for a short time, visiting all the area businesses and steadily getting to know more people in the area.

He had established himself as a respected insurance salesman in Smackover when he was approached by community members to run for the State House of Representatives in 1968. Because he was already so well-known in the area, and with thehelp of family, he was easily elected to the first of eighteen terms.

Education remained a great passion for Newman in the legislature. In 1975, he helped push through the legislation that created two area community colleges, SAU-Tech in East Camden and SAU-El Dorado Branch in El Dorado.

Along the many journeys he took to Little Rock on narrow, two-lane highways, he realized that there were exactly three stoplights between Smackover and Little Rock. Concerned about safety and the need to attract business to South Arkansas, he worked with other South Arkansas legislators and fellow Democrats such as State Rep. John Lipton and State Rep. Jodie Mahony for years to secure the funding to widen the highways to four lanes, a process that in 2016 is just nearing completion.

Among his


proudest achievements was the passage of a breast cancer detection bill in 1997. The bill, proposed by State Rep. Josetta Wilkins, a Pine Bluff Democrat and breast cancer survivor herself, provided free mammograms for Arkansas women as early detection dramatically increased the odds of survival. The bill touched Newman personally as his own wife had contracted the disease. As he raced back and forth between the legislature and the hospital where she lay dying, Newman pleaded with his fellow legislators to pass the bill. The proud man wept as he reminded them of his wife’s struggle and that the disease could be prevented. The bill passed, saving many lives in Arkansas. Mary Newman died shortly afterward.

Newman retired from the legislature in 1998. He returned to Smackover to continuehis insurance business and later remarried. He retired from his firm in 2012, shutting the door after 52 years in business.

Throughout his long legislative career, he rejected the label “politician.” Instead, he always told constituents that he preferred to be called a statesman. Over the years, he became a mentor to many area politicians, leaving an indelible mark on the community. But according to family and friends, the accomplishment he was most proud of was his family.

In honor of his work, a portion of State Highway 7 near Smackover was renamed the Bobby Newman Bypass in 2012. Newman passed away in 2013 at the age of 86, an unassuming man of deep faith, revered in the community and loved by his family.

The programme to restore native vegetation and habitat for native wildlife on Ōwairaka / Mt Albert maunga continues in November with the removal of exotic trees.

The first phase of the restoration was completed in August this year with the planting of 2700 native shrubs during a community planting day attended by around 100 local residents. This was the first instalment of 13,000 natives that will be planted over the next few years.

The second phase is the removal of around 345 exotic trees from 11 November through to mid-December. This includes species identified as pests in the Auckland Regional Pest Management Strategy, such as Olive and Monkey Apple.

Irs Should Investigate Tennessee Church For Pulpit Politicking, Says Americans United

The Internal Revenue Service should investigate a Tennessee church whose pastor endorsed three school board candidates from the pulpit, says Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

In a complaint filed with the IRS today, Americans United asserts that Pastor Maury Davis of Cornerstone Church in Madison, Tenn., violated federal tax law with comments during an Aug. 3 sermon.

According to the Nashville Tennessean, Davis had appeared on a local radio station July 25 to endorse the candidates (all of whom are members of his church) as a private citizen, which he may do. But during the sermon, he lauded the three, remarking, “They’re all from our church and we want you to get to know them and

Road To Super Bowl 50: 2015 AFC NFL Betting Lines Analysis

Since Tom Brady and the New England Patriots won the NFL National Championship trophy, there has been an increased focus on teams in the AFC and their chances of having a good 2015-2016 NFL season. Already, the NFL betting lines have been opened in regards to winning the coveted Super Bowl 50 title, and from the look of things, New England is still likely to be AFC’s representative at the 2016 Super Bowl. However, there are still many other strong teams that are guaranteed to give the Pats a hell of a time next season, so we may have a different AFC team in the finals. Below is brief AFC 2015 betting analysis and a prediction of howthings could shape up in the conference once the NFL season starts.

Brady and Coach Bill Belichick have led the Patriots to at least 10 wins in 13 of 14 seasons, and with the core of the team likely to remain intact next season, New England (placed at 7-1 odds to lift the Super Bowl 50) is almost guaranteed to make another strong run for the Super Bowl. Furthermore, the Patriots were the last team in the history of the league to win back-to-back titles (32-29 win over the Panthers in Super Bowl XXXVIII of 2003 and 24-21 win over the Eagles in Super Bowl XXXIX of 2004), so trying to repeat such a feat should certainly be in the books for the deeply-talented Patriots team.

Lawrence and his crew nevertheless kept pushing and building, and by 1940 made several major discoveries of their own, including carbon-14, a radioactive isotope crucial for both medical work and archaeological dating. Lawrence was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1939.

Lawrence’s career had reached its peak, but Big Science was just getting started. During World War II, the U.S. government began shoveling money into the Manhattan Project and other research—and amazingly, the good times kept rolling after the fighting ended, with government support for scientific research rising from $74 million in 1940 to $15 billion in 1965.

Big Science isn’t quite a biography of Lawrence, but Hiltzik delves deep into his personality. Like most geniuses, Lawrence was a man of both uncommon virtue andglaring faults. On the plus side, he cared little for personal prestige and worked doggedly to find good jobs for his graduate students. He also lacked pretension: when it came time to work, he’d strip off his suitcoat and get as grease-smeared as anyone. Above all, his technical skill and boundless optimism pushed his colleagues to incredible heights—12 other Rad Lab scientists won Nobel Prizes.

That said, Lawrence also helped inaugurate one of the ugliest aspects of modern academia—the ruthless exploitation of poorly paid graduate students. He also betrayed one of his oldest friends at Berkeley, physicist Robert Oppenheimer. The initial wedge between them was social. As Lawrence became famous in the 1930s, he began hanging out with bankers and oil tycoons. Oppenheimer, a Jew, found that world closed

High Hopes for Löw & His Young Talent: Germany 2010

German coach Joachim Löw is a tactical innovator who can use several systems to suit different situations. They are essentially similar systems, just variations on a theme, based around the 4-2-3-1 formation which he used successfully in Euro 2008.

The German team is solid, and impressively conceded just 5 goals in qualification for South Africa 2010, losing no games. They are high achievers, reaching the Semi-finals of the World Cup in 2006, and then the Final of the Euro 2008 tournament, where they lost 1-0 to an excellent Spain side.

The squad that Löw has named is very young, an average age of 24.96 yrs, but this is in some way representative of the wealth of talented young players in Germany.to make the forward run as the attacking midfielders (yellow) and striker (pink) pull the Bosnian players away from him. Lahm goes onto score a wonderful goal.

The midfield five are expected to play a high pressing game, but also to get forward in attack, the balance of players within the squad makes this possible. Midfield pressing can be seen below, as four midfielders box in (thin blue line) the Bosnian players on the ball, keeping the pressure up, whilst the defence (red) can take a man each.

The central midfield pairing will be the young Sami Khedira and experienced Bastian Schweinsteiger. Ballack’s late injury with Chelsea has opened the way for Khedira to really make his mark on the tournament.

Attacking Talents

The choices for the advanced positions are impressive; Mesut


Özil, Lukas Podolski , Piotr Trochowski, Toni Kroos and Thomas Müller all as options for this area.

Mesut Özil is arguably the most exciting of these players. A left footer, he has the ability to shoot or play the crucial ball from forward positions. Özil is undoubtedly one of the players to watch at this tournament, the young midfielder previously played for Schalke 04, but now plays for Werder Bremen and has excelled in the Bundesliga. His main role is to play as the link man, deeper than the striker; the role of the creator is a perfect fit.

However, the left flank may see some interchange between Özil and Podolski, as they work together or switch positions, Podolski can also play either on the left or as the deepstriker.

Indeed, it is here that the formation shows it fluidity. The tactics allow the team to move to a more orthodox, traditional German 4-4-2 against weaker teams, or for the midfield to drop back into five when more pressure is required. The wide men can drift inside, and interchange, with Podolski moving out left, and Özil coming through the centre. The attacking menace on the left is also balanced when Lahm plays on the right, providing options on both flanks.

Podolski was acknowledged as a major talent after the last World Cup, but has spent several years in the wilderness. He still possesses menacing pace, running at the defence, or shooting from long range. Marin provides a useful back-up for Podolski, and expect him to get game time.

Müller or


Trochowski can play on the right, and will link up well with Lahm in this position, either dragging the opposition full back around, creating space for Lahm to run into. The attacking threat of the fullbacks is a crucial part of the German team, and Lahm is the most lethal from this position, so the balance on his flank is important.

The Lone Frontman

Playing a single forward limits the realistic options for Löw in attack. Stefan Kiessling of Leverkusen is one of the more talented young attackers, but is not suited to hold the line on his own, like Müller he is more likely to be used in the withdrawn role occupied by Podolski or Özil.

As with teams like the Ivory Coast and Drogba the lone striker role requiresnot abuse its discretion in denying them.

A Turkish family with children have been detained by Ukranian security officials at an International Airport in Kiev, the capital city of Ukraine for three days showing without reason, according to a short video shared by Turkish national Ali Yıldız on Twitter on Saturday.

Turkish government has been acting like a real rogue state by unlawfully cancelling passports of critical citizens, keeping them stranded at airports and fabricating baseless charges to justify this illegal and illegitimate acts.

Joliot. In 1932, they noticed that the bombardment of boron with alpha particles from a polonium source was producing positrons, _e_ +, and neutrons, _n_.

Positrons were the electron's anti-particles discovered in the same year by Carl Anderson, at the Californian Institute of Technology; neutrons were the neutral particles with the same mass as the proton, discovered by the British physicist James Chadwick some months before. Chadwick found the neutron while analysing the results of previous experiments by the Joliot-Curies, when they bombarded beryllium with alpha particles. The Joliot-Curies had wrongly interpreted the penetrating particles produced as being high-energy gamma rays rather than neutrons. The physicist Walther Bothe in Berlin had obtained similar results two years earlier. Chadwick carefully repeated these experiments using alpha particles from polonium and concludedin maize and barley. He verified that the mutations resembled those occurring spontaneously. Another American geneticist, Hermann Muller, a political activist who campaigned against nuclear testing, conducted similar experiments.

The early experiments produced curious mutants, such as plants possessing leaves with white stripes, but scientists soon found that this method produced more useful mutations when applied to large numbers of seeds.

More than 2,600 mutant varieties of more than 160 plant species are now listed in the FAO/IAEA (FAO is the UN organization for food and agriculture) Mutant Variety Database. Among them, we find a mutant rice strain extremely tolerant to salinity. It is being cultivated in Vietnam, and will also be introduced into Bangladesh, India, and the Philippines.

Corn wet milling: separation chemistry and technology.
Corn wet milling is a complicated, large-scale, and efficient industrial process designed to separate the chemical components from corn kernels. The success of wet milling, in terms of maximum yields, is largely dependent on the success of the steeping process. Improper steeping, or steeping of corn kernels that have unusual physical or chemical structures, results in lost product and lower profits. Steeping processes, however, are still based largely on an art that was developed more than 100 years ago. In the next 20 years, major seed corn producers expect that the market for corn with unique starch characteristics and corn bred to produce speciality chemicals or have an altered composition will expand substantially. As the market increases for speciality corn, corn geneticallyUpdate: Dr. Anjali Ramkissoon gives her side of the story.

Police believe that Jared Eng slit his mother Paula Chin's throat in their Tribeca apartment on January 31, then stuffed her body into her 2004 Land Cruiser and drove it to their suburban home in Morristown, New Jersey before disposing of it in a garbage can there, the New York Daily News reported.

Eng also allegedly enlisted the help of his girlfriend, 21-year-old Caitlyn O'Rourke, and 18-year-old friend Jennifer Lopez to dispose of his mother's body and clean up the crime scene, the Daily News said. All three are facing charges of tampering with physical evidence, and appeared in court on Thursday.

The criminal


complaint alleges that Eng confessed to killing his mother during a speaker phone conversation with O'Rourke and Lopez, and admitted that she "took a while to die."

More charges are reportedly expected to be filed against Eng once the autopsy on his mother is completed.

Concerns for Chin's safety began on Monday, when a relative reported her missing to police. It took only one day for authorities to find the widow's body in the trash at her Morristown home, along with a bloody duffle bag filled with clothes and tape.

Chin's husband Philip died in 2008 from unknown causes.

Sources told the Daily News that money issues regarding Eng's inheritance after his father's deathmay have led to tensions between himself and his mother, who was reportedly trying to kick him out of the Tribeca apartment at the time of her death.

“It’s all clean,” Lopez said in a text, apparently referring to the apartment. “The hardest part was backing up the car,” she added.

O'Rourke, a student with Eng at SUNY in New Paltz, New York, was reportedly recently accepted to a photography program at the school.

O'Rourke's lawyer, Sarah Kaufmann, said that her client had no connection to the actual killing of Chin.

The overtime buzzer beater Marc Gasol hit to send the Grizzlies past the Spurs, 110-108, in Game 4 Saturday night meant Memphis had evened this best-of-seven NBA playoffs series at two games apiece heading into a pivotal Game 5 Tuesday in San Antonio. It meant Saturday night became one of the great events in franchise history given the stakes and the drama on the court. It meant FedExForum would get to host at least one more Grizzlies game this season.

But it also meant one couple had to rush to the hospital. That's because Gasol's shot with 0.7 seconds left in overtime sent one pregnant woman in the crowd into labor. Check out this series of tweets from Grizzlies fan Brandon White, which proveAfter the FIA ratified the 2019/20 FIA Formula E calendar, it has been confirmed that one clash remains with the FIA World Endurance Championship.

The 1,000 Miles of Sebring, which falls on the 20th March next year, was the one clash date with Formula E’s season six that WEC could not move as it shares the weekend with the 12 Hours of Sebring (part of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship). When the initial Formula E calendar was announced with its three clashes, WEC openly tried to make the situation easier for the electric series, moving the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps back a week to avoid the clash with the new Seoul E-Prix, that Formula E claimed they could not move. This left it up to Formula E to clear


the other two clashes.

In the recent ratified Formula E calendar for season six, the 8 Hours of Bahrain clash has been removed, with Formula E opting for only one race in the 2019 part of the championship. However, the Sebring clash remains. Time difference between Seoul and Sebring will make it impossible for competitors to take part in both Formula E and WEC.

This means that, along with the provisional FIA Formula 1 2020 calendar, there is a four-way clash on the weekend of the 21st March. With the increasing number of Formula E and Formula 1 races, this is a reality that will come to fruition and begin restricting drivers in cross-competing in multiple series.

Legislators cleared the way Friday for construction to begin on a $1.1 billion New Orleans academic medical center.

The approval of the University Medical Center’s financial plan by the Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget came after six years of squabbling among state officials on the details of a new facility to replace the charity hospital badly damaged by Hurricane Katrina.

The hospital is expected to open in 2015.

University Medical Center Management Corp. board member Elaine Abell said the hospital will treat patients, as well as train future doctors.

“(It will be a) doctor factory to give us physicians who will stay in Louisiana,” she said.

The private LSU-aligned corporation is charged in state law with financing construction and operating the medical center. The corporation presented the business plan


“The diabolical aspect of [former Cardinal McCarrick’s] betrayal is crucial,” says Bishop Liam Cary of Baker, Oregon. “It goes beyond human frailty, it is a deep-seated evil, and a betrayal of the Son of God.”

Bishop Liam Cary, 71, has led the Diocese of Baker, Oregon since 2012. He was born in Portland, the oldest of four children, and grew up in Prineville, twenty miles away from Redmond where he presently resides as diocesan bishop. In 1961, at age 14, he entered Mount Angel Seminary, where he studied through his college years. He left the seminary for 18 years, but returned and was ordained a priest at age 45 for the Archdiocese of Portland in 1992. He served in multiple parishes in the archdiocese before coming to Baker, whichhis honor appeared to others — even his longtime political allies — as hubris, denial and selfishness. To them, his inability to see what was obvious was jeopardizing the Democratic Party both in Virginia and nationally.

“We amplify our call for the Governor to resign,” Virginia’s Legislative Black Caucus said in a statement Saturday after his turnabout. “He has irrevocably lost the faith and trust of the people he was elected to serve. Changing his public story now casts further doubt on his ability to regain that trust.”

The tale of this fast-moving crisis is one of stumbles, miscalculations, and the distance between the way the public came to view Northam and the way he sees himself.

Never a natural politician, Northam, a pediatric neurologist, built his public career on the


idea that he was honest. That identity was forged in college, where he enforced the ethics code as president of the Honor Court at Virginia Military Institute.

Northam laid the groundwork for his rise to governor by stumping for Democrats in every corner of the state. Instead of charisma, he had authenticity — the warbly accent of an Eastern Shore waterman — and that built a web of loyalty that paid off with his nine-point victory over Republican Ed Gillespie in 2017.

But his assumption that allies would give him the benefit of the doubt contributed to Northam’s poor handling of the crisis over the photo, according to people close to the governor. And his shock at being so quickly discarded by the party has made it harder for Northamto accept the calls to resign, the people said.

Over the past several days, he has even toyed with the idea of leaving the Democratic Party and governing as an independent — a sign of the degree that he is isolated from every political ally, from his state party and from the national party.

The crisis caught fire quickly Friday afternoon. Social media spread a photograph posted on the right-wing website Big League Politics that showed two people — one in blackface, the other in Ku Klux Klan robes — from the personal page of Ralph Shearer Northam in the 1984 Eastern Virginia Medical School yearbook.

Northam’s first reaction was confusion, according to numerous people who spoke with him as the situation unfolded. He told several people that he didn’t think


deep hurt and disappointment,” said one lawmaker who was present.

Despite his clear public statement, Northam told the group he was confused by the picture. “He never said it’s absolutely him in the picture. He was in doubt, but understood the implications of the picture appearing under his name,” the lawmaker said.

Later that evening, the caucus members decided that despite feeling some sympathy for Northam, they could no longer see him governing effectively. They called for his resignation.

Such calls had been raining down all evening, but the one from the Black Caucus was especially significant, given the nature of the crisis. Aides and advisers went home that night thinking that Northam would have no choice but to step down the next day.

Northam shifted from his office in the PatrickHenry Building on Capitol Square to the nearby Executive Mansion, and, according to one adviser, spent almost the entire night calling former classmates and checking with people back home. No one there believed he was in the picture.

First lady Pam Northam was particularly insistent that the governor should slow things down and defend himself, several people said.

AD

Saturday morning, Northam told advisers that he was now confident that he wasn’t in the picture, and he wasn’t going to step down.

What’s more, Northam wanted to hold a news conference and take any and all questions the media could throw at him. Some advisers thought this was a bad idea, but they could not dissuade him, according to two people familiar with the situation.

They pressed him on what he would say


and whether he was ready to handle a grilling on live national television.

And a new fact would have to be addressed. Northam said that while the yearbook photo was not him, he had in fact darkened his face at another event in 1984 — a dance contest while he was in Army medical school in San Antonio.

AD

He would later tell the news media that he didn’t fully understand the painful legacy of blackface until a conversation with an African American aide just two years ago, when Northam was 57.

By the time of the afternoon news conference in the formal central hall of the Executive Mansion, Northam had had little sleep, according to one person. Upstairs, the Northams held hands with the Rev. Kelvin Jones — their pastor fromFirst Baptist Church in Capeville, who is African American — and prayed.

“I was praying for his strength and for the Lord to wrap his arms around him and his family, and be there for him,” Jones said later.

What followed was a rambling news conference full of cringe-inducing moments.

As dozens of reporters kept pushing for answers about his flip-flop on the picture, communications director Ofirah Yheskel began trying to wrap things up. But Northam kept taking questions — including one about whether he still knew how to moonwalk.

Pam Northam, standing grimly beside him, put out her hand as Northam seemed about to demonstrate and cautioned against it.

His impulse to dance gave the impression that he didn’t appreciate the severity of the situation, and it was skewered by late-night comedians.

be able to go home and get love,” he said in an interview. “We prayed for him. . . . We just had a celebratory worship service. I think he was truly touched by it. I think he was lifted by it. Because he realized that there are still some true friends in the world.”

The governor and first lady spent most of the day alone, reflecting on what to do.

As his supporters investigated the yearbook photo, trying to track down who was in it and where it came from, the Northams returned to Richmond.

That night and through Monday, Northam held a series of meetings with minority staffers, his Cabinet and eventually most of the administration. He asked them not to quit, to stick with him a bit longer.

Supporters of Mitt Romney wait for his “Super Tuesday” primary election night rally to begin in Boston, Massachusetts, March 6

Washington Post: Super Tuesday confirmed anew that Mitt Romney remains the favorite to win the Republican presidential nomination, but his slow, unsteady march is coming at a steep price. As he advances toward victory in the primaries, he is losing ground in the general


election.

…. Romney is in worse shape at this point in the campaign than virtually all recent previous nominees …. Demographically, his image among independent voters, the most critical swing group, is more negative now than it was when the primary battle began. He could be hurt among women. He is in trouble with Latinos, a growing part of the electorate that is tilting even more Democratic than it was four years ago….

Geographically, the numbers from several key states have been discouraging for the former Massachusetts governor. Pre-primary polls in Ohio, Virginia and Michigan showed him running behind Obama by low double digits. Ohio is a must-win for the Republican nominee in the fall, and Virginia is a state the GOP is determined to take back from the president.say he agreed with people which was unheard of prior to that time. The moderators and journalists would say the other candidate won when the people said Obama won. The old school moderators said he was not very good at debating. Over the course of the contests he improved greatly and by the time the GE came around he was quite good at getting his point over. Chris Matthews is old school and was probably one of those saying PBO lost the debate at that point in time. He seems to be going back to that way of framing the future debates.

We are not allow to talk about that bastard Matthews and Gallup. Fine with me. I have had it with Matthews. He is not a supporter of


the ten Super Tuesday contests with more delegates than anyone else, but his political reputation damaged.

Given his crushing financial advantage, Romney should have done better tonight.

He lost Oklahoma to Rick Santorum, despite the endorsement of the state’s most popular politician — populist U.S. senator Tom Coburn.

He won Virginia, where his only opponent was Ron Paul, by only 59 percent to 41 percent. He lost significant cities ranging from upper-crust Charlottesville to working-class Lynchburg.

Late-reporting urban areas may still give Romney a win in Ohio, but it is striking that he is struggling so much in a state where he carpet-bombed Rick Santorum the way he did. And in Ohio — unlike Michigan — there was no semi-organized effort among Democrats to embarrass him by casting votes for Santorum. Romneyunpaid bill and rising prices

Armed pro-Russian militants have today raised their flags over official buildings in two eastern Ukrainian cities deepening a stand-off with Moscow, which Kiev warned, could drag Europe closer to the brink of a 'gas war'.

In the regional capital of Donetsk the police chief quit his post as protestors - dressed in the uniforms of the now defunct Ukrainian riot-police - stormed the headquarters.

They occupied the ground floor and hoisted the black and orange flag adopted by pro-Russian separatists over the building, in place of the Ukrainian flag.

Kostyantyn Pozhydayev appeared on the steps of the police station to speak to the protestors, telling them he was stepping down 'in accordance with your demands'.

As he left the building, he was accompanied by some of his officers.

Members


of the disbanded Ukraine's elite Berkut riot police, together with Russian separatists, enter the seized regional police headquarters in Donetsk today

Hundreds of pro-Russian supporters join militants to barricade the state building as protestors force the regional police chief from his post

Witnesses in Donetsk said the men who entered the police building were wearing the uniforms of the Berkut, the feared riot police squad that was disbanded in February after Yanukovych's ouster.

Berkut officers' violent dispersal of a demonstration in Kiev in November set off vast protests in the capital that culminated in bloodshed in February when more than 100 people died in sniper fire;the acting government says the snipers were police.

It was not immediately clear if the men who occupied the Donetsk police building had made any demands.

In Slaviansk, a town which lies about 90 miles from the border with Russia, at least 20 men armed with pistols and rifles were guarding the police station and a security services headquarters - another 20 men were said to be inside.

They wore St. George's ribbons, which have become a symbol of pro-Russian protesters in eastern Ukraine.

The ribbons were originally associated with the Soviet Union's victory in World War II.

A masked guard in Slovyansk, who gave his name only as Sergei, said they have 'only one demand: a referendum and joining Russia'.

The man said they seized the building because they wanted to protect it


dispatched to the area.

The militants replaced the Ukrainian flag on one of the buildings with the red, white and blue flag of Russia.

Some local residents helped the militants build barricades out of tyres in anticipation that police would try to force them out.

In Slaviansk, the mayor said the men who seized the police station were demanding a referendum on autonomy and possible annexation by Russia.

Protesters in other eastern cities have made similar demands after a referendum in Crimea last month in which voters opted to split off from Ukraine, leading to annexation by Russia.

T he latest wave of unrest shows the spiraling anger in eastern Ukraine, which has a large Russian-speaking population.

The region was the epicentre of support for the deposed Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych, who was oustedin February after months of protests in the capital, Kiev.

Ethnic Russians in Ukraine's east widely fear that the authorities who took over after Yanukovych's fall will suppress them.

The occupations have deepened tensions in the region, causing potential flashpoints.

If any of the pro-Russian protestors are killed or injured by Ukrainian forces, it could prompt the Kremlin to intervene to protect the local Russian-speaking population in scenes reminiscent of the takeover of Crimea.

Moscow denies any plan to send in forces or split Ukraine, but the Western-leaning authorities in Kiev believe Russia is trying to create a pretext to interfere again.

NATO says Russian armed forces are massing on Ukraine's eastern border, while Moscow says they are on normal manoeuvres.

Ukraine's acting foreign minister, Andrii Deshchytsia, said he had spoken in a phone call with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and demanded Moscow stop what he called 'provocative actions' by its agents in eastern Ukraine.

Russia and Ukraine have been inconfrontation since protests in Kiev forced the Moscow-backed president from office, and the Kremlin sent troops into Crimea.

The crisis has been seized upon by some right-wing nationalists in the EU who are campaigning for next month's European Parliament elections. They blame Brussels for antagonising Russia.

Marine Le Pen, leader of France's far-right National Front was in Moscow on Saturday and met the speaker of Russia's lower house of parliament, one of the people on an EU sanctions list.

'I am surprised a Cold War on Russia has been declared in the European Union,' Russian media quoted her as saying.

The EU and the United States imposed sanctions on Russian officials and leading business figures in response to Moscow's annexation of Crimea, which is home to Russia's Black Sea fleet and was


part of Russia until 1954.

GAS DISPUTE THREATENS TO AFFECT MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ACROSS EUROPE

While the crisis within Ukraine itself is still unresolved, the gas dispute threatens to spread the impact of the rowand that it will honour all commitments to supply its EU customers. Kiev and Brussels are working out ways to keep supplies flowing to EU states, and for those countries to then pump the gas to Ukraine by reversing the flow in their pipelines.

Moscow has so far scoffed at the Western measures and


warned that, in the long run, the EU and Washington will come off worse by losing out on trade with Russia.

Gennady Timchenko, a billionaire oil and gas trader who is on the U.S. list of people subject to asset freezes and visa bans, joined the chorus of Russian defiance.

'The fact that I was included in the list was a little surprising maybe, but it was quite an honour for me,' he said in an interview with the state-run Rossiya television station to be broadcast later on Saturday.

He said Russian natural gas would increasingly be sold to Asia, as part of a strategy of turning away from a Europe, which the Kremlin considers unfriendly.

It’s upsetting for anyone delivering items to the door when they’re threatened or harmed by a dog – even your madly yapping Jack Russell hitting the inside of the door can be unnerving. There are around 3,300 attacks on postal workers every year, and the Royal Mail takes a very dim view

ers and firefighters from other area fire departments, the fire
eventually overtook the building. Due to the unsafe condi-
tions that resulted from extensive damage, fire investiga-
tors were not allowed to inspect the scene and the building
was demolished.
   Both parties agree that the fire originated in the basement
of the bar. The basement housed a walk-in cooler, several air
compressors used for coolers, an old natural gas boiler, and a
water heater. The parties presented evidence concerning the
condition, inspection, and maintenance of the boiler, which
was at least 50 years old. From approximately 1980 to 2010,
the boiler was inspected annually by service professionals, who
performed maintenance as needed. In the 3 to 4 years prior to
the fire, however, no maintenance orinspection of the boiler
had occurred. Neither the cooler nor the water heater ever
received regular inspections.
   Plattsmouth Chiropractic presented the opinions and tes-
timony of Wolf concerning the origin and cause of the fire.
Wolf, a mechanical engineer with a background in fire and
explosion investigation, based his opinion upon a reasonable
degree of “engineering certainty” after reviewing 27 docu-
ments related to the fire at the bar. Wolf admitted in his deposi-
tion that he was unable to determine a “root cause” of the fire,
but testified that it was his belief that the fire originated “in
the vicinity of the boiler.” Wolf believed the fire most likely
originated in the boiler, but he could not eliminate the possibil-
ity that the fire started in the nearby water heater. Additionally,
Wolf acknowledged a possibility that the fire


Funds are requested for partial support of U.S.-based scientists and students in the Americas to participate in the Short Course Concepts and Model Organisms in Regenerative Biology, to be held at Pontificia Universidad Cat[unreadable]lica de Chile in Santiago, Chile, November 2-11, 2010. This will be the third major collaborative training event between the Society for Developmental Biology (SDB) and the Latin American Society for Developmental Biology (LASDB) in Latin America, with the participation of distinguished scientists and top students from the United States (15) and Latin American countries (15). The first two short courses were held in spring of 2005 in Brazil and fall of 2008 in Argentina. This third course will be satellite to the LASDB's 5TH International Meeting, which will allow the students to attend andpotentials and limitations of the traditional and emerging technologies, as well as model organisms used in such studies. The practical sessions held in laboratories with state-of-the-art equipment will provide plenty opportunity for the students to acquire hands-on experience working with different organisms that have well-known as well as those with uncommon regenerative properties: mouse, frog, zebrafish, salamander, fly, roundworm, planarian, sea cucumber, and plant. Students will be selected from applications submitted by postdoctoral fellows and advanced graduate students in the U.S., and from graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and young faculty in Latin America, based on their previous experience and interest in the field. Latin American faculty in other disciplines who are considering a change in the focus of their research to regenerative/developmental biology will also be eligible. Most


of the students in the short course are expected to enter the pipeline for supply of future investigators and educators in biology and related areas. This short course will broaden the exposure of these students to the fields of regenerative and developmental biology, in the form of a training event of the highest quality, as well as to offer opportunities to work with established laboratories in the various countries. PROJECT NARRATIVE: This short course "Concepts and Model Organisms in Regenerative Biology" is organized jointly by the Society for Developmental Biology (in U.S.) and the Latin American Society for Developmental Biology (LASDB).
