way back to title contention as a contestant in the ONE Flyweight World Grand Prix. He will have to defeat Kingad first however, who stands firmly in his way.

In a ONE Lightweight World Grand Prix Semi-final bout, former ONE Featherweight World Champion Honorio “The Rock” Banario of the Philippines steps in for the injured Lowen Tynanes to take on Russia’s Timofey Nastyukhin. Both men are looking to advance to the final round of the high-profile tournament.

Banario is a top contender at lightweight who has won six of his last eight contests in the division. He possesses immense power in his hands, particularly his left hook, which has led to five big victories by knockout throughout his career. A member of Baguio City’s famed Team Lakay, Banario faces oneof his toughest opponents to date in Nastyukhin.

Nastyukhin, who shocked the world when he defeated Eddie Alvarez in the first round of the tournament via knockout, is a man on a mission. With only Banario standing in his way to the ONE Lightweight World Grand Prix Finals, the Russian stalwart will bring his heavy firepower to the ONE Circle, as he looks to end matters early and secure a finals berth.

Former ONE World Title Challenger Reece “Lightning” McLaren of Australia is back in action, this time taking on Japan’s Yuya “Little Piranha” Wakamatsu in a flyweight contest.

Both McLaren and Wakamatsu are looking to bounce back after early exits in the ONE Flyweight World Grand Prix last March in Tokyo. A victory for either means redemption, and moving further


up the flyweight ladder.

McLaren, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, is known in the ONE Circle for his incredible grappling skills. Wakamatsu, on the other hand, is a former Pancrase Flyweight Tournament Champion. This matchup features two high-level martial arts athletes both at the top of their game.

Multiple-time Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world champion Leandro “Brodinho” Issa of Brazil will face Japanese mixed martial arts standout Daichi Takenaka in a bantamweight contest.

Issa, from the famed Evolve Fight Team, has won most of his bouts via submission, in a career spanning over 20 professional bouts since 2006. The combat sports veteran has seen his fair share of tough challenges from the world’s top promotions. Conversely, Takenaka is one of the fastest rising stars on the local Japanese mixed martial arts circuit. AThe Cleveland Browns were one of the most successful teams in football since their 1946 establishment. The Browns’ early history is surrounded by continuous winning – from 1950 to 1958 the franchise made eight playoff appearances in the span of nine seasons. The ‘50s and early-1960s was when the Browns peaked as an NFL powerhouse. Cleveland won NFL Championships in 1950, 1954, 1955 and 1964 – the ’64 title was won while the legendary Jim Brown ran the fields for the team.

The Browns drafted Otto Graham in 1944 and hoped that the quarterback would triumph for them. Graham did just that and he led the Browns to three NFL championships during the ‘50s. Graham was a five-time Pro Bowler and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of


Fame in 1965. The Browns have also honored him as one of the best players in franchise history by retiring his No. 14 jersey.

After Graham retired, the Browns struggled to find another superstar to fill the void he left behind. Cleveland struck gold in the 1957 draft when it took Jim Brown out of Syracuse University. Brown took the league by storm and brought the franchise back to relevance. In his nine years with the Cleveland, Brown made the Pro Bowl ever season and led the league in rushing eight times. Brown also played a vital role in the Browns’ run to the 1964 NFL Championship – the last title the franchise has won. Brown is considered to be one of the greatest players of all time andthe franchise retired his No. 32 jersey in his honor.

Championship runs stopped after Jim Brown retired, but the Browns remained playoff contenders during the 1980s under the helm of quarterback Bernie Kosar. Kosar is widely regarded as one of the top quarterbacks in franchise history because he threw for over 23,000 yards and 124 touchdowns in his career.

The Cleveland Browns franchise is in a full revamp mode in hopes to return to its historical winning ways. The Browns have added elite, young talent in the last few years that will come together to form a great team in the years to come. With young players like Joe Haden, Johnny Manziel, Justin Gilbert, Josh Gordon and Travis Benjamin, the Browns are a competitive team in the works with a


very bright future. Add value to your sports collection with a unique piece of Cleveland Browns memorabilia or complete your collection dedicated to the Browns with all of the franchise stars from yesterday and today.

Jim Brown Autographed Footballs: Widely regarded as the best running back of all time, Jim Brown created havoc for opposing defenses consistently throughout his nine-year career. Brown made the Pro Bowl every year during his time in Cleveland and was the anchor on the 1964 NFL Championship team, which also happens to be the last championship that the franchise has won. As the best player in the Browns team history, Jim Brown memorabilia is very valuable and highly sought after. With a Jim Brown signed football, die-hard Browns fans can commemorate the career ofthe legendary player while also paying tribute to the 1964 championship team, while collectors can invest in a piece that will continually rise in value. As an icon of the sport, there’s no better addition to a collection than a Jim Brown autographed football.

Johnny Manziel Signed Jerseys: The Cleveland Browns have pegged Johnny Manziel as the next face of their franchise. They drafted the Texas A&M quarterback with the 22nd pick in the 2014 NFL Draft with hopes that he could duplicate his college success while in the pros. Manziel enjoyed a vast amount of success while in college, winning the 2012 Heisman Trophy after registering one of the best seasons by a collegiate quarterback ever. With an autographed Johnny Manziel jersey, Cleveland Browns fans can invest in


the bright future of the young star. Being a new, upcoming star in the NFL, no fan or collector can go wrong with a signed Johnny Manziel jersey that represents the biggest hype of the 2014 NFL draft and the future of football.

Bernie Kosar Autographed Photos: Bernie Kosar is one of the best quarterbacks in Cleveland Browns history. The University of Miami product played nine seasons for the Browns and threw 124 touchdowns and over 23,000 yards. Cleveland enjoyed some of its most successful years while Kosar led the team and since parting ways the team has failed to find a passer that regularly led them to the playoffs. A signed Bernie Kosar photo is a piece of Cleveland history that should be preserved within a Browns collection.Capture some of the greatest moments from the Browns icon’s career with a Bernie Kosar signed photo of the quarterback dropping back for a touchdown pass or running the field.

Justin Gilbert Signed Football: The Browns drafted Justin Gilbert with the eighth overall pick in the 2014 draft in order to team him up with shutdown cornerback, Joe Haden. With high hopes that a tandem of Gilbert and Haden will be a driving force against opposing offenses for years to come, Justin Gilbert memorabilia is an investment in the future of the Browns. The speedy cornerback out of Oklahoma State was a unanimous All-American in 2013 after earning All-Big 12 honors after the 2012 season, so he is sure to have a bright future in the NFL. Investing in


Justin Gilbert memorabilia now can prove to be a great move if the talented defender lives up to his billing. Add a unique Justin Gilbert signed football to your collection and show dedication to the Cleveland Browns.

Joe Haden Memorabilia: Joe Haden is one of the most premier cornerbacks in the NFL and a standout player for the Browns. The Cleveland Browns drafted Haden out of the University of Florida with their first round pick in the 2010 NFL Draft. Haden has made tremendous strides in his game since joining the Browns and is coming off his best season as a pro. During 2013, Haden recorded 54 total tackles, forced three fumbles and intercepted four passes, which earned his first trip to the Pro Bowl. As one of thepassage from God's Book of Truth.

Indian and Nepalese citizens queue up with empty containers at a petrol pump in the Indian village of Panitanki.

India is set to overtake China as the biggest source of growth for oil demand by 2024, according to a forecast announced Monday by research and consultancy group Wood Mackenzie.

The country's oil demand is set to increase by 3.5 billion barrels per day from 2017 to 2035, which will account for a third of global oil demand growth. India's expanding middle class will be a key factor, as well as its growing need for mobility, according to Wood Mackenzie.

On the other hand, China — currently the second-largest oil consumer in the world — may soon need less oil. In 2017, it overtook the U.S. as the biggest importer of crudeof migrants, especially from Syria, but is alarmed by Turkey’s crackdown on opponents since a failed coup attempt in July.

More than 110,000 people have been sacked or suspended since the abortive putsch, and some 36,000 arrested. Media outlets have also been shut down.

The government says the crackdown is justified by the gravity of the threat to the state from the events of July 15, in which more than 240 people were killed.


President Donald Trump met twice with officials over replacing FBI headquarters, watchdog says

Bart Jansen | USA TODAY

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump met twice with government officials who decided to build a new FBI headquarters across Pennsylvania Avenue from Trump International Hotel, according to a watchdog report Monday.

But the General Services Administration's inspector general said officials refused to disclose what Trump said in the meetings before and after the decision to keep the FBI offices located near the hotel.

GSA revised its plans Feb. 12 to recommend razing the existing building and erecting a new facility at the site. The agency's previous plan, which had been debated for years, had been to create a new campus in the Washington suburbs.

The agency’s inspector general, Carol Ochoa, reported that GSA Administrator EmilyMurphy met with Trump and others in the Oval Office on Jan. 24 to discuss the project. The "free flow discussion" was about demolishing the J. Edgar Hoover Building and rebuilding at the site, Murphy told the inspector general.

Murphy held a second meeting with Trump and others about the project June 15. The topics for discussion included congressional pressure for a new campus and funding challenges for the project estimated at $3.3 billion, the inspector general said.

But GSA officials refused to disclose what Trump said at the meetings, on advice of White House counsel, and could only disclose who attended, the topics of discussion and the outcomes of meetings with the president, according to the inspector general.

The report said the refusal was based on a claim of executive


interested in building because he knows it better than anyone and has been very successful in it,” press secretary Sarah Sanders told Axios in July. “He's found GSA to be on it, 'very impressive' and 'knowledgeable' are the phrases he has used."

The FBI has occupied the J. Edgar Hoover Building since 1974. With an expanded mission since the terrorist attacks in 2001, the FBI has sought a new headquarters since 2005.

The GSA announced its intention to find a new headquarters in December 2012 but has wrangled for years over costs and options.WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve on Friday said it was seeking to permanently bar a former Barclays Bank employee from the banking business for allegedly manipulating foreign exchange trades. ...

A South African court on Friday threw out the findings of a public anti-graft watchdog that Barclays Africa unduly benefited from an apartheid-era bailout of another bank and should repay. The Public Protector had said in a report last year it had found South Africa's apartheid government and central bank breached the constitution by giving Bankorp, a bank later acquired by Absa, the retail banking unit of Barclays Africa, a series of bailouts between 1986 to 1995. The agency, a constitutionally mandated anti-corruption agency led by Busisiwe Mkhwebane, had ordered in its report that Barclays Africa must repay


2008 emergency fundraising, raising the stakes for the British bank in its legal battle over the cash injections it arranged from Qatari investors to survive the financial crisis. Rupert Murdoch's Twenty-First Century Fox Inc has offered a series of steps to guarantee the editorial independence of Sky News to assuage concerns raised by the UK's competition watchdog over the company's bid to take full control of the pan-European broadcaster Sky.

Britain's Serious Fraud Office has charged Barclays' (BARC.L) operating subsidiary with giving Qatari investors an illegal loan which was then used to prop up its shares during the banking crisis, deepening the lender's legal difficulties. Barclays denies the SFO's allegation that the $3 billion loan it made to Qatar in November 2008 was connected with a Qatari investment inA man from one of the lowest-lying nations on Earth is trying to convince New Zealand judges that he is a refugee – suffering not from persecution, but from climate change.The 37-year-old and his wife left their remote atoll in the Pacific nation of Kiribati six years ago for higher ground and better prospects in New Zealand, where their three children were born. Immigration authorities have twice rejected his argument that rising sea levels make it too dangerous for him and his family to return to Kiribati.So on 16 October, the man's lawyer, Michael Kidd, plans to argue the case before New Zealand's high court. Kidd, who specialises in human rights cases, told Associated Press he will appeal the case all the way to the country's supreme court


if necessary.Legal experts consider the man's case a long shot, but it will nevertheless be closely watched, and might have implications for tens of millions of residents in low-lying islands around the world. Kiribati, an impoverished string of 33 coral atolls about halfway between Hawaii and Australia, is home to about 103,000 people and has been identified by scientists as among the nations most vulnerable to climate change.In a transcript of the immigration case obtained by AP, the Kiribati man describes extreme high tides, known as king tides, that he says have started to regularly breach Kiribati's defences – killing crops, flooding homes and making residents sick. New Zealand immigration laws prevent AP from naming him.The man said that in about 1998, king tides began regularly breaching thesea walls around his village, which was overcrowded and had no sewerage system. He said the fouled drinking water would make people vomit, and that there was no higher ground that would allow villagers to escape the knee-deep water.Returning to the island would endanger the lives of his two youngest children, he said."There's no future for us when we go back to Kiribati," he told the tribunal, according to the transcript. "Especially for my children. There's nothing for us there."The man's lawyer said the family is currently living and working on a New Zealand farm.Last week, an international panel of climate scientists issued a report saying that it was "extremely likely" that human activity was causing global warming, and predicted that oceans could rise by as much as


0.98 metres by the end of the century. If that were to happen, much of Kiribati would disappear.Though that is a dire prospect, New Zealand's immigration and protection tribunal has said it is not one that is addressed by laws dealing with refugees.In a decision recently made public, tribunal member Bruce Burson said the legal concept of a refugee is someone who is being persecuted, which requires human interaction. He said the tribunal rejected the man's claim because nobody is persecuting him.The tribunal found there was no evidence that the environmental conditions on Kiribati were so bad that the man and his family would face imminent danger should they return. Burson said the man's claim was also rejected because the family's predicament was no different than that facednation has also been talking with a Japanese company about the possibility of constructing a floating island, which would cost billions of dollars.Rimon Rimon, a Kiribati government spokesman who said his opinions on the matter were his own, said he thought the man in New Zealand was taking the wrong approach. He said the government is working hard to train people in skills such as nursing, carpentry and automotive repairs so that if they do leave Kiribati, they can be productive in their adoptive countries."Kiribati may be doomed by climate change in the near future," he said. "But just claiming refugee status due to climate change is the easy way out."Source: Guardian News and Media

BERLIN -- A Berlin court has convicted a man of manslaughter, attempted manslaughter and causing bodily harm for pouring gasoline over two homeless men and setting them alight outside a suburban railway station last year. One of the victims later died of his injuries.

The Berlin district court said 48-year-old Aleksandr T., a German-Russian dual citizen whose full name wasn't released in line with German privacy rules, was sentenced to eight years in prison on Tuesday over the July 22 attack at Schoeneweide station. It said that his


motive was anger over a previous argument.

The court said the defendant was intoxicated at the time of the attack, but rejected his argument that he had stumbled and accidentally set the two men alight.

I was down on this show when it was announced, but considering what a piss poor job they have done at building actual ROH talent as challengers for Cody since he won the belt, someone beating him in aNene, Wizards dunk Pelicans

Dribbling on the perimeter with the final seconds ticking off the clock and Washington down by a point, Wall found his opening. He drove the lane, drew the defense, and slipped a pass to a cutting Nene for the game-winning slam dunk with 0.9 seconds left in a 94-93 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday night.

"I just prayed," Nene said. "I wanted to finish with the ball in my hands. They put the ball into my hands. John, he did amazing, penetration right there, he found me right there."

Slamming the ball with his right hand, Nene finished with 30 points to match his career high.

"I wanted to shoot a jump shot," Wall said. "I saw Anthony Davis come and I wanted to whip


week. My wind was cool."

It was an uncharacteristic start for Washington, as Wall and Beal failed to score in the first quarter. But the Wizards' other three starters compensated, hitting 11 of their first 13 shots as Washington took an early lead and held it for most of the half.

Withey sparked New Orleans late in the second quarter with an emphatic rejection of Gortat. The 7-footer followed with a slam to give the Pelicans their first lead since the opening minutes, 37-36, and set the scene for a see-saw battle the rest of the way.

Early in the third quarter, New Orleans went on a 9-0 run ignited by a 3-pointer by Eric Gordon and followed by three fast-break baskets, two of them by Davis. But Washington soon followedwith a 15-2 spree, which included seven points by Nene and a 3-pointer by Martell Webster.

Down by eight, New Orleans scored 11 straight points in a run that bridged the quarters and was ignited by 3-pointers by reserve guards Tyreke Evans and Morrow.

The Pelicans led 89-85 when Brian Roberts hit a pair of free throws with 3:48 left, and he had a chance to increase it after a Washington turnover. But Roberts threw an errant pass which was stolen by Nene who fed Wall for a breakaway layup.

Moments later, Wall returned the favor in dramatic fashion.

"I just knew it was seven seconds and that's a lot of time," Wall said. "(In a loss at Houston), we went early and left four seconds on the clock. I wanted to

With several broken bones Alison Hume who was found by her teenage daughter was left lying in agony in the cold and dark for eight hours. A report has found she could have been brought out alive if firemen had been allowed to do their job, instead of which while the rescue operation was in progress, a certain group commander by he name of Paul Stewart, realising he was the most senior man there, took charge, ably assisted by his colleague, one William Thomson. Although one fireman had already gone down Stewart’s first move was to stop a paramedic, who was already strapped in a harness, from being lowered.even more important.

Two famous letters in history are those penned by Emile Zola and headed “J’Accuse” taking the French government to task and accusing them of anti-Semitism in the trial and imprisonment of Alfred Dreyfus. The French government didn’t take too kindly to that with the result being Zola, convicted of libel, was forced to flee to England.

The other was from Martin Luther King written from jail in Birmingham, Alabama which contained the famous line, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

One of the most influential letters in England was sent to the Leeds Mercury in 1830, by English labour campaigner Richard Oastler and entitled ‘Yorkshire slavery.’ It read,“Thousands of our fellow-creatures and fellow-subjects, both male and female, the miserable inhabitants of a Yorkshire town, are this


War and any management wanting to fill the theatre put on melodrama despite the number of elaborate (and expensive?) scenes required in each. Shakespeare and modern drama did not pull in the punters and the upper classes preferred the opera. The writing of these plays, fodder now for send-up and excruciatingly bad as it is with dialogue unheard of except upon the Victorian stage, was however evidently taken seriously by its authors if you consider for example the note Watts Phillips wrote at the end of his play ‘Lost In London.’

The WMU Broncos lost 35-28 to CMU Wednesday night at Waldo Stadium. The Broncos allowed three unanswered touchdowns in the fourth quarter to blow a 14 point lead. Shane Morris threw a 77-yard touchdown pass to Corey Willis with 2:37 remaining to give Central Michigan the win over the defending MAC champs. Freshman Reece Goddard made his first career start for Western Michigan after starter Jon Wassink was injured against Eastern Michigan. Goddard was 6-for-18 passing for 42 yards and carried it 14 times. Western Michigan’s Jarvion Franklin fumbled early in the fourth quarter and CMU blocked a punt two set up two scores.


Dear Friends,

This is the first and last letter from the Radical Quakers of Minneapolis.

Radical Quakers were a worship group — and briefly, a monthly meeting — that met in so-called-Minneapolis in 2017 and 2018. We were exclusively open to marginalized people; our goal was to re-center Quakerism around the people on the edges, turning our communities inside out. Our meeting was disbanded on April 22nd this year. In this letter, we hope to offer some encouragement to oppressed Friends, especially those who feel isolated in their faith communities.

Our meeting started when three Friends came together with a shared bitter taste in our mouths. All three of us had been taking a break from worship. One Friend found that she had to bear the task of convincing people ofincrease to four, compared to three in the current system. This means that the highest lottery seed would receive no worse than the fifth pick, the second seed no worse than the sixth pick, the third seed no worse than the seventh pick and fourth seed no worse than the eighth pick. Under the current system, the first seed can receive no worse than the fourth pick and second seed no worse than the fifth pick, etc.

The new system would begin with the 2019 draft, giving teams time to prepare and plan.

Team owners could vote on the proposal at the NBA’s Board of Governors meeting at the end of September.

Adopting this proposal is not a slam dunk. Some mid- and small-market teams believe this will hurt their chances

Their first involvement with Dota came in 2007 with an Indonesian squad,


which they held on to until 2009. Between 2008 and 2009 they also sponsored a Western team with players such asJonathan '' Berg,Rasmus '' Berth andRene '' Werner playing under the tag.In Februrary of 2010,Kevin '' van der Kooi, former Warcraft 3 professional and future Stracraft 2 commentator, convinced Fnatic to let him form a Heroes of Newerth squad. However, soon after the players were gathered, RotterdaM moved on to SC2, leaving the team in the hands ofAntti '' Saarenpää. This initial incarnation of the team was entirely Finnish, and included Trixi, who would stay with the team through their golden period in HoN.Along the way, the Finns ended up leaving the team, and insteadHenrik '' Hansen ended up joining, and after him three members of a team2012. At the same time, the long awaited move of Fnatic.HoN into Dota 2 was announced.By this point, Trixi and Freshpro had already left the team at the end of 2011, and had been replaced by Era and H4nn1. While the initial intent was for the team to now focus primarily on Dota 2, the $60,000 prizepool of DreamHack Summer 2012 kept the team engaged in HoN, delaying their progress in Dota 2. After DreamHack, as time came for the team to shift their entire focus to Dota 2, long time member Nova_ decided that he was too far behind the others on the team in adapting to the new game, and chose to leave the team, making room for Trixi to return to the team officially in


Septermber of 2012, after a nine month absence.After The International 2012, as the scene picked up again, Fnatic started their climb towards the top of the European scene. By the end of the year they were consistently showing good results accross competitions, but were generally still hampered by their earlier poor performance in the longer running online leagues. DreamHack Winter 2012 and THOR Open provided the first opportunities for Fnatic to show off their true level in a playoff bracket, finishing shared 3rd-4th and 1st respectively.While Fnatic has by now established themselves as a top team, and while the team has seen players come and go, the current configuration is another stable setup which looks to establish a second golden age for the team. Their strength is theirof 2010. As he had held the role of drafter on his previous team, he ended up taking it on again with Fnatic, and over time became famous for his ability to out-think his opponents.During his time together with Nova_, Fly played a farmed support and jungler role, in particular well known for his jungle Tempest (Enigma), however also being capable of switching it up, playing the occasional game as carry. After Nova_ left the team, Fly took up the vacant hard support role, and similar to Nova_ previously, has not deviated much from this position.Fly has on occasion relinquished his role as drafter for the team, notably after H4nn1 signed on to switch over to Dota 2, he initially took up the position while Fly accustomed himself


to the new game. More recently, Fly's work outside the game as a Commando Krav Maga instructor has adversely affected his ability to keep up with other teams changing drafts, instead handing over these duties for the time being to n0tail.While much of Fly's reputation has come as result of his leadership and his ability to shape the meta game in HoN, he is also an accomplished player in his own right, regularly earning mentions in HoN as one of the top support players. In Dota 2, he first impressed with his Lina play, and has recently shown a strong affinity towards Rubick.n0tail was first discovered by Fly and Nova_ when he was just starting out as another pub player in HoN. Even though he was extremely young,only 16 at the time, his great potential earned him an invite to iLx, and later to Fnatic in August of 2010. More than just a player, n0tails high level of dedication and imagination means he is a constant source of some of the more outlandish ideas employed by Fnatic, and his imput into the drafting process is why Fly has more recently allowed n0tail to draft in his place.n0tail originally played the solo mid role, and was widely hailed as the best solo mid in HoN. His specialities included the likes of Pollywog Priest (Shadow Shaman) and Bubbles (Puck). However, after Nova_ left the team and Fly took up the hard support role, n0tail ended up moving to a jungler or farmed support role. This allowed him


to play high impact early game heroes, making Disruptor an early banworthy hero when playing against the rapidly improving Fnatic lineup.More recently, n0tail has found himself often paired up with Era in mid, playing the Wisp to Era's Chaos Knight. He is also very adept at playing jungling heroes such as Chen and Enchantress, and occasionally more roaming supports such as Shadown Demon and Lion, which we've seen him take up fairly often most recently. He is also well known for his Meepo play, and can often be found pubstomping with the hero on his personal stream.Era is another young player who got his start playing HoN for teams such as LION and Dirty Minds, the team whichWehsing '' Yuen played for in HoN. His great talent asa carry player made him the obvious choice when Trixi ended up leaving the team, leading to him joining Fnatic in February of 2012.While in HoN respect bans against Era included the likes of Pebbles (Tiny) and Dampeer (a lifestealing, gap-closing ball of death with a disable), he initially picked played really late game orientated Agi carries when he came over to Dota 2. However, as the metagame shifted after TI2, Era began to take on a lot more aggressive and tanky carry heroes, for which he is now known.His two most famous heroes are without a doubt Chaos Knight and Lifestealer, and his ability to armlet toggle on both of these heroes is highly impressive. He is also a very accomplished farmer on heroes such as Phantom


Lancer, and is partially responsible for the recent resurgence of Alchemist, after running the hero as part of an offensive trilane againstto great effect.Era often switches lanes around with H4nn1, taking up mid, especially when dual-laning with n0tail. He also usually plays the offensive trilane carry, allowing either H4nn1 or Trixi to take the more farm heavy role in such games.H4nn1 has by far the most robust WC3 DotA career of the current Fnatic lineup, being a two-time member of theand perhaps the second best known German player afterKuro '' Takhasomi. As he moved into HoN, he ended up on the star-studdedlineup together withJoakim '' Akterhall among others.After' left Fnatic, shortly after Trixi, H4nn1 was called upon to take up the hard lane solo role, joining the teamin April of 2012. He had previously been best known as one of the premier carry players in HoN, but had always been a versatile player and quickly adapted to this role. His late signing was a result of Fnatic being in the process of slowly shifting their focus towards Dota 2, while H4nn1 was unsure if he wanted to make that switch again, resulting in him playing with the team unofficially for 3 months before his signing.When Nova_ left the team and Trixi made his return, H4nn1 took over the mid lane from n0tail. His proficiency on highly mobile mid heroes has since made him a highly deadly force, capable of taking over games on heroes such as Queen of Pain, Tinker and Beast Master. He has


a penchant for Boots of Travel and has his own clear vision of how to play and build many heroes. In particular his Puckplay has most recently been extremely potent, often opting to go for an early Dagon over the Scythe of Vyse. He is also the only Tinker player who still favours Bloodstone as an early item pick-up.Trixi's journey in e-Sports started back in WC3 DotA, where he played on various minor teams for about 5 years, most notably ontogether with' and his long time friend'. When the Heroes of Newerth beta opened up, Trixi and Rexi made the transition and ended up forming the very first incarnation of Fnatic.HoN.In HoN, Trixi grew into the player he is today. His Hard Carry play was a mixture ofextremely stable farming and exceptional late game decision making, which earned him back-to-back honors as the best carry player in HoN. In addition, his ability to continuously elevate new heroes to respect ban status, such as his infamous Kraken (Tidehunter) and Gladiator (Kunkka) among many others, spawned the meme "You can't ban Trixi", which was perpetuated by his teammates and opponents alike.When the Dota 2 beta began, Trixi once again joined up with Rexi, who had left Fnatic due to military service. Together they ended up forming, and after an impressive debut in the first Defense,expressed their interest in picking up the team. As Trixi was still on contract with Fnatic at the time, he opted to play out his final DreamHack Winter with the team, claiming their


third consecutive DreamHack title.In Mouz Trixi again played hard carry, but due to internal strife ended up leaving the team, and for a time the competitive scene. During his downtime, he tried out playing withduring their rebuilding stage, which did not pan out, before being asked to return to Fnatic during the summer of 2012, asJascha '' Markuse left the team after DreamHack Summer 2012.Since returning to Fnatic, Trixi has mostly taken up playing the hard lane solo role, which allows him to utilize his well honed laning skills in order to survive and prosper against the odds.

Initially, the Madhya Pradesh government was supposed to dispose of the waste at Ankleshwar in Gujarat and its state government had also agreed to it.

However, the Gujarat government refused to accept the waste after people in the state launched an agitation against it at a time when elections are around the corner. Besides it was also opposed by some voluntary organisations.

After the Gujarat government's refusal, the MP government planned to dispose of the waste at Pithampur and 40 metric tons of waste was even burnt there.

The president also has deep business networks that include private funders of science. Robert Kraft, the owner of the New England Patriots, is but one example of an extraordinarily generous and influential philanthropist of Boston-area biomedicine. He is also a vocal supporter and friend of the president. Even if Kraft has made no indications of allowing his political allegiance with the White House to affect his support of biomedicine, the fear of repercussions to resistance against Trump are understandable and enter into the minds of scientists and administrators whose work and institutions Kraft supports.

The danger of scientists succumbing to fear poses a great threat. Science flourishes where ideas are


Editor's note: Saudi Arabia's aging King Abdullah is in the United States for medical treatment, stirring renewed questions about succession to the throne and whether that ascendant royal would be a reformist or a more traditional ruler. One of the key royals who figure prominently in any palace reshuffle is Prince Turki Al-Faisal, who in a recent interview with GlobalPost offered his views on the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, the Iranian nuclear threat and the direction of the U.S.-led campaign in Afghanistan.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — There are few Saudi royals as deeply knowledgeable about the shifting sands of Middle East politics — or as candid in their assessments — as Saudi Prince Turki Al-Faisal.

In a wide-ranging interview with GlobalPost, Prince Turki, the longtime head of Saudi foreign intelligence, offered ableak assessment of the Israeli-Palestinian talks, a firm rebuke of U.S. strategy in Afghanistan as “misguided” and a grave warning that a U.S.-sponsored attack on Iran to take out its nuclear program would be “calamitous” for the Middle East and the world.

“These are very difficult times in the region, a very challenging moment,” said Prince Turki, 65, who served as Saudi ambassador to Washington and as the head of Saudi foreign intelligence services for nearly 25 years.

Prince Turki was visiting Harvard University this week and spoke before the Kennedy School of Government as part of the Crown-Belfer seminar series. Among palace watchers, he is widely believed to be in line to become Saudi Arabia's next foreign minister, a position now held by his brother, Prince Saud Al-Faisal, who


lived in the complex and wounded more than 350 others. At that point, the kingdom was just coming to terms with the threat posed by what was then nascent Al Qaeda.

In the years that followed, the House of Saud was slow to recognize the militancy emanating out of the kingdom, but Turki has persistently denied that the kingdom did too little to confront the terrorist network. Fifteen of the 19 hijackers in the Sept. 11 attacks were Saudi. It was August 2001 when Turki resigned as intelligence chief.

Since then Turki served as ambassador to the U.K. and to the U.S. and now is an adviser to the king from his perch at the King Faisal Center for Research and Islamic Studies. And since then Saudi Arabia has soughtsaid the U.S. should pull together a wide grouping of countries who have suffered at the hands of Al Qaeda, such as India, Saudi Arabia, Russia, China, Egypt, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, Spain, Morocco and, of course Pakistan, to coordinate intelligence and to target Al Qaeda in a global alliance against the terrorist group.

“Put a plan of action in place to capture or eliminate the leadership of Al Qaeda, and I am sure they can succeed in doing that," he said. "By eliminating them or capturing them you can claim victory and then leave” Afghanistan.

Turki explained that talks between the Taliban and the government in Afghanistan were “a work in progress” and that they had begun at the invitation of Saudi Arabia two years ago. GlobalPost reported on


Four Mile packed by mule via the wagon road from Port Douglas, 300 miles away.

The route
The Fraser River was not considered navigable by sternwheeler between Yale and Soda Creek due to many hazardous canyons and rapids, so the terminus of river navigation on the upper Fraser River was located at Soda Creek. From there a steamer could travel with no obstructions to Quesnel where a stage road ran to Barkerville.
The stages of Barnard's Express would travel on the Cariboo Road up from Yale and connect with the Enterprise at Soda Creek. Passengers and freight would then be transferred onto the sternwheeler and travel upriver 56 miles to Quesnel. Once there they would be transferred to company stages again to Barkerville for the last 54 miles. The EnterpriseOscar Heyman (1888-1970), Alice Heyman, who after three decades in her possession, decided it was time to put the relic up for sale.

The story of the headpiece covers centuries of terrain, from its birthplace in Popayán to its new Fifth Avenue home. Spaniards arriving in South America in the 16th century encountered a rich and complex indigenous tradition of gold working that had developed over the course of millennia.

This crown was made to adorn a sacred image of the Virgin Mary venerated in the Cathedral of Popayán. A symbol of the Virgin’s divine grace, the crown is encircled by golden vinework set with Muzo emerald clusters in the shape of flowers, a reference to her purity.

The diadem is topped by imperial arches and a cross-bearing orb that symbolizes


Christ’s dominion over the world. The crown came to represent the most distinctive artistic achievements of a region whose wealth derived from precious metals and gemstones.

It was constructed in two sections over six years by 24 goldsmiths using indigenous and Spanish smelting techniques. Finished in 1599, the crown was coveted by British pirates who stole it in 1650 only to lose it three days later during a street fight.

In 1812, Libertador Simón Bolívar got his hands on the crown and returned it to its ancestral home, Popayán. To keep the crown safe from marauders and revolutionaries, the notables of Popayán formed the Confraternity of the Immaculate Conception.

The crown was shared among six of the most elite members of the Confraternity only to be reunited once a year forreligious ceremonies.

Protected by the Confraternity for three centuries, Pope Pius X in 1914 authorized the sale of the crown to fund a hospital, orphanage and home for the elderly. Russian Tsar Nicholas II showed interest in acquiring it for the Hermitage in St.Petersburg, but starving Bolsheviks and a firing squad stumped his ambition.

In the years between the two World Wars, the Crown made few appearances. In 1936, Chicago wholesale jeweller and diamond exporter Warren J. Piper put together a syndicate of investors and acquired the crown from the secretive Confraternity for $125,000.

Piper, not unlike the conquistadors, wanted to melt down the object and sell-off the individual emeralds, all 443, including the largest, the 24-carat Atahualpa Emerald. According to historians, the Atahualpa taken from Inca emperor Atahualpa when he


was captured by Francisco Pizarro in 1532.

In 1963, the Crown of the Andes faced the auctioneer’s gavel at Sotheby’s in London. In 85 seconds of bidding, it was sold for £55,000 to the Asscher Diamond Company of Amsterdam, which was acting on behalf of jeweller Oscar Heyman.

The Crown was placed in a vault at Citibank. When Oscar died in 1970 his daughter, Alice, became the rightful owner.

The crown was put up for auction at Christie’s in 1995 and expectations on the fetching price were running high. But with a $3 million reserve on the piece, the Crown didn’t move — at least not until December of last year, when Thomas Campbell, director of the MET announced the acquisition.

One Oxford college has not admitted a single black student in five years.

Data released under the Freedom of Information Act also shows that more than 20 Oxbridge colleges made no offers to black undergraduates last year.

The information, uncovered by Labour MP David Lammy, revealed that Oxford's Merton College has admitted no black students in five years and only three in the last decade.

The breakdown of admissions data, published on Oxford's website, shows just one black Caribbean student was accepted to the university last year out of 35 applications. Meanwhile 77 students of Indian descent out of 466 applications were accepted. Six black Caribbean undergraduates were accepted at Cambridge.

The preliminary matches of this year’s Council of Southern African Football Associations (COSAFA) Castle Cup begin this weekend, April 28-29 with Group A.The four teams involved are hosts Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Madagascar and Seychelles.

Like last year, the twelve countries in the region have been divided into three groups of four teams with the three winners qualifying to meet defending Champions Zambia ( ) at the last four.

The Castle Cup, which is the regional tournament for teams from Southern Africa is in its eleventh year and the first under new COSAFA President, Suketu Patel; elected last year.

The championships, arguably the most competitive regional


tournament on the continent has often served as a form of preparation for Southern African participants during major international events.

For this weekend’s matches billed for the Machava Stadium in Maputo, Madagascar will clash with Zimbabwe in the opening match while hosts Mozambique meets Seychelles later on Saturday.

The winners of the two games will progressed to Sunday’s final with the losers battling it out for the third place. The winner of the final will represent the group at the last four.

On the matches, Seychelles who caused a major upset at this stage of last year’s competition by beating highly fancied Namibia 4-2 on penalties before losing out to Zimbabwe for the only slot; are optimistic of causing yet another surprise.

Coming face to face against The “Mambas” (Mozambique), Seychelles coachRaoul Shungu is counting on the inclusion of uncapped midfielder Achille Henriette, who turns 20, twenty four hours before kick off for another giant killing exercise.

The Warriors (Zimbabwe) on the otherhand have vested much hope into the young squad named by coach Charles Mhlauri to edge past Madagascar, who appointed former French Ligue 1 player, Herve Arsene last week as their new trainer.

The Warriors made it to the last four of the previous competition and have tasked themselves with at least a final berth this time round.

The COSAFA Competition has produced some surprising results in the previous years, with often underrated teams being the architect of those feats.

For the records, Zimbabwe, Angola and Zambia share the highest number of wins at the annual event, three apiece with South


Africa once in 2002.

Zambia captain Christopher Katongo is opposed to plans to recruit a foreign coach for the rest of the Nations Cup qualifiers.

Local coach Patrick Phiri has been in charge on temporary basis since former international Kalusha Bwalya quit his post last year.

Zambia are third in Group 11 and must win their remaining matches against Congo, Chad and South Africa to qualify for the Nations Cup in Ghana next year.

The Football Association of Zambia (Faz) has now appointed a six-member committee headed by Bwalya to look for an expatriate coach.

But Katongo, who plays Danish side Brondby, says Phiri should be left to guide the Chipolopolo in the last three qualifiers.

"My job is to play football and I will accept whoever is appointed to coach the team whetherlocal or foreign coach," Katongo told BBC Sport.

"It is too late for a new coach to take over for the remaining three games.

"But if it is for the 2010 Nations Cup and World Cup qualifiers, he can come and work with our local coaches.

"I insist that Phiri must finish what he started."

Katongo added that Faz should concentrate on organising friendly matches for the team ahead of their remaining qualifiers.

"I think they should rather be talking about big friendly games ahead of the crucial matches we have to play in the qualifiers," he noted.

Nigerian Stephen Keshi, who recently returned to Togo for his second stint as the coach of the Hawks, is still regarded by Faz as a possible candidate to coach Zambia.

Brazilian Edson Silva, former Hungary coach Bertalan


Bicskei and Englishman James Duffy are also being considered.

----------

Its all going downhill from here I feel Katongo does have a point ... but why wasn't making statements earlier during the CAF 2008 campaign?!! If Phiri failed to beat RSA in Lusaka, what makes Katongo think he'll turn things around in Joberg?

World football's governing body FIFA on Friday gave the thumbs up to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, saying its doubts about security and logistics for the event have been dispelled.

"South Africa, we trust you," FIFA President Sepp Blatter announced after a meeting of governing body chiefs here."The executive committee is now convinced that South Africa will be a good host for the World Cup," he added. "Today they all stand united behind South Africa and theorganisation of this important competition."

Blatter said a key confidence-building step had been taken by the South African government in February with its approval of an additional budget to tackle security for fans and visitors, transport and logistics.

FIFA had reiterated concern at the lack of progress on building work for new stadiums in South Africa at its last executive commitee meeting in December, when Blatter called for "a little bit of fire" in the preparations.

South African World Cup chief executive Danny Jordaan had pledged that all unfinished stadiums would be ready by October 2007.

Horst R. Schmidt, vice president of the 2010 organising committee told a German newspaper Thursday that the organisers were on schedule."I do not doubt for a second that the World Cup will take place in South


Africa, it will be a different World Cup from the one which took place last summer in Germany, but it will certainly not be any less impressive," added Schmidt, who is also general secretary of the German Football Federation (DFB).

======================

I have no doubts in the infrastructure being put into place in time. What bothers me is security since the well equipped (by developed country standards) South African police + other 'crime fighters' have failed to establish order for many years. I'm not certain at the moment, but at one time, Johannesburg had the highest crime rate amongst all cities in the world. Huge investment in security for the world cup can be used as an excuse to tackle a problem that has troubled South Africans for quite sometime2-0 on Friday, to confirm their place in the last eight.

Power regained the lead and built a 36-point advantage with two races remaining after strong second-place finishes at Mid-Ohio and Sonoma, coupled with two misfortunate finishes by Hunter-Reay. The season's penultimate race on the streets of Baltimore saw Power and Hunter-Reay choosing different strategies when rain began falling.

A contingent of Russian ground forces arrived to Pakistan for the first ever Pakistan-Russian joint exercise.

Leading Russian South Asia expert Petr Topychkanov says Russia should focus on military exercises with Pakistan in various multilateral formats, and avoid bilateral drills of Russian and Pakistani troops to prevent a negative reaction from India.

Cold War era foes, Russia and Pakistan, launched their first ever joint military drills titled Friendship-2016 in northern Pakistan on Sept. 24. The Indian government has not publicly commented on these drills.

However, a leading South Asia expert believes that Russia’s decision to go ahead with the exercises, just days after the Indian Army brigade headquarters in the town of Uri was attacked by militants from Pakistan, may have an impact on Moscow’s relations with New Delhi.

MINNEAPOLIS — Gray wolves in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan could again find themselves in hunters' crosshairs — possibly as soon as this fall if federal protections are removed for the predators.

A ruling is expected soon from an appeals court that recently lifted protections for wolves in Wyoming. In Congress, wolf-hunting supporters aren't giving up even though a Minnesota representative was instrumental in killing an effort that would have allowed the three western Great Lakes states to resume wolf hunting.

Gray wolves were once hunted to the brink of extinction in most of the country, but they recovered under Endangered Species Act protections and reintroduction programs. They now number over 5,500 in the lower 48 states, including nearly 3,800 in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan.

The U.S. Fish and WildlifeService has repeatedly tried to remove wolves in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan states from the endangered species list, but courts have stymied those efforts. Now, a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit is looking at the issue. The same appeals court in March took wolves off the list in Wyoming.

Wisconsin and Minnesota each held three wolf seasons before a federal judge put their wolves back on the list in December 2014. Michigan held one.

Backed by farm groups upset about depredation on livestock, and hunters who would like the chance to bag a wolf, lawmakers from the region have tried to attach riders to various bills in Congress


specific regions, though there are differences in the details, said James Lister, who argued the Great Lakes case for pro-hunting groups, including the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance Foundation and the National Rifle Association.

Ralph Henry, litigation director for The Humane Society of the United States, who argued the opposite side, stressed the differences. The Wyoming case hinged on whether that state's management plan provided adequate protections, he said. The Great Lakes case focused on the process the U.S. government used for taking the three states' wolves off the list when the animals haven't spread enough to repopulate other states in their former range, he said.

Whether Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan could hold wolf seasons this fall would depend in part on how soon the court rules.

Military leaders and officials in Iran, a predominantly Shi'ite country, often refer to Sunni Muslim radicals as Takfiris.

The strike took place on Sunday evening.

Iran has backed embattled Syrian president Bashar Assad during the country's ongoing civil war.

The strike was reportedly in response for the attack in Tehran, according to the country's Tasnim news agency.

The attack last week, which included shootings and at least one suicide bombing, was on Iran's parliament and the shrine of Ayatollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic.

A 13-year-old patient named Jahi McMath was determined to be dead by neurologic criteria following cardiopulmonary arrest and resuscitation at a hospital in Oakland, California. Her family did not agree that she was dead and refused to allow her ventilator to be removed. The family's attorney stated in the media that families, rather than physicians, should decide whether patients are dead and argued in the courts that the families' constitutional rights of religion and privacy would be violated otherwise. Ultimately, a judge agreed that the patient was dead in keeping with California law, but the constitutional issue was undecided. The patient was then transferred to a hospital in New Jersey, a state whose laws allow families to require on religious grounds that death

The second renewal of the plea for help, in verses 22-28, also goes a step beyond the earlier prayers in that it is now no longer merely a plea for personal deliverance from trouble, but is also a request for God's swift and utter judgment on the psalmist's enemies. It is an imprecatory prayer that is equal in its...

DOVER — A grand jury has indicted two Farmington police officers in connection with an assault on a man in handcuffs last summer.

Sgt. Michael McNeil, Jr., 34, of Rochester, was indicted on a single simple assault charge for allegedly grabbing Randy Gray by the neck with his left hand and exerting enough force to pull Gray's body from a standing position, according to the indictment.

Gray told Foster's last week he was handcuffed at the time. “I was complying with everything they told me to do and not resisting in any way. There was no need for it,” Gray said.

In addition, Officer Gregory Gough, 24, of Dover, was also indicted on a simple assault charge in connection with the incident, alleging he grabbed Gray's arms and torso and spunhis body during the alleged assault.

Both men are facing misdemeanor charges, which could result in up to one year in jail for each of them.

Police Chief Kevin Willey said both officers have been placed on paid administrative leave.

The incident occurred last June after McNeil, who was off duty at the time, pulled Gray over after witnessing a road rage incident, which he believed Gray was involved in.

McNeil asked Gray if he had been drinking after allegedly smelling alcohol on his breath. According to the affidavit, that is when Gray drove off at a high rate of speed, striking McNeil in his left arm and leg with his driver's side door. McNeil was not seriously injured, Farmington police said after the incident.

Gray told Foster's he fled the scene after


he asked McNeil to show identification and he refused.

Gray is still being prosecuted in connection with the incident and is scheduled for trial and jury selection the week of May 5.

According to Gray, about 20 minutes later McNeil, Gough, and two Milton officers arrived at his home after tracking him down through his car license plate. He said as Milton officers handcuffed him, McNeil came toward him yelling at him.

Gray said the pair yelled back and forth before McNeil got in his face. Gray claims McNeil allegedly grabbed him by the neck trying to force him to the ground. He said Gough stepped in to help.

Gray said Milton officers tried to the stop the incident, which he said only concluded when McNeil fell to the ground. Gray wasescorted to the back of a cruiser by Milton officers.

He said there is video footage of the event, but it is not currently available.

The case against McNeil and Gough was reviewed by Assistant Grafton County Attorney Jack Bell after Strafford County Attorney Tom Velardi determined it was best to have an outside attorney review the allegations. Velardi said the switch was necessary since McNeil is an active police officer and a witness in several cases, including the one against Gray.

In a statement to the media this morning, Willey wrote, that after learning of the allegations last summer, an internal investigation was immediately launched and the appropriate action was taken. He said during the lengthy criminal investigation, the department reviewed the information and determined that McNeil and Gough should


Classics on TV: BFI Southbank programme, 19 June 2012

Tonight sees the third programme in the five-night Screen Plays season Classics on TV: Greek Tragedy on the Small Screen at BFI Southbank. Tonight we will see Agamemnon, the first part of the 1979 BBC Television version of Aeschylus’ Oresteia trilogy which was transmitted under the title The Serpent Son; it will be followed by the original television play Of Mycenae and Men, which takes the form of an ancient Greek satyr drama. (No tickets for the 6.10pm showing are available via the BFI website but it may be worth getting on the standby list in case some become available immediately before the performance.)

In my introduction tocolour and on a larger screen.

Some aspects of the production failed to convince, I think – for example Apollo; perhaps visualising a deity is just too difficult. But the primitive tat of the chorus of old men contrasted with the stark lines of Klytemnestra’s costume very effectively. (Not quite sure about the eagle armour of the Atreides and its rather bizarre variation for Aegisthus ….) Once one took on board that virtually no-one of importance was going to look as if they had stepped out of an illustration on an Attic vase, the visual squalor of some and the splendour of others was impressive.

I found the music the most irritating and intrusive element of the production. Maybe it was not helped by the complete lack of subtlety in


the soundtrack (a symptom of age as well as technology perhaps), but the wind instrumentation was anachronistic (and therefore now very dated) and at many points seriously drowned the diction. The continuous music throughout the opening exposition was an unfortunate distraction.

Another misjudgement (to my taste at any rate) was the occasional use of the Ambrosian Singers to chant fragments of the chorus. The transition from the rough and world weary voices of the old men speaking individually, to the perfectly tuned tenors and basses of a professional choir wrecked the atmosphere.

These blemishes aside, I marvelled again at the power of the drama as interpreted by a fine cast. Diana Rigg’s performance in particular was a masterclass in how to bring language and characterisation designed for an amphitheatre downriver system spanning three states.

When McCarthy defended her agency’s role in the Flint water crisis, the Washington Post described her as some sort of hero: “She stood up to often-furious questioning at a congressional hearing that included Republican calls for her resignation, asserting that under the law her agency had done all it could to protect Flint’s residents.”

Time and again, sympathetic scribes in the mainstream media gave the EPA chiefs a pass.

But that drastically changed on December 7, 2016, when Donald Trump nominated Scott Pruitt to be his EPA administrator. Pruitt, the former Oklahoma attorney general, was an outspoken critic of the agency and sued the EPA several times in his role as the Sooner State’s top lawyer. His appointment was a Southern-styled boot-kick to the far-left scientific

The outcry over a rodeo clown donning a mask resembling President Obama reached a new level of absurdity when it was reported Monday that the man behind the mask has been permanently banned from performing at the fair ever again, as reported by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Missouri State Fair officials barred the rodeo clown from ever performing at the fair again and are requiring that “all officials and subcontractors associated with the association must participate in “sensitivity training,” the Post-Dispatch noted.

In addition, the president of the Missouri Rodeo


Cowboy Association, who served as the announcer at the event, resigned on Monday.

Several state lawmakers are also demanding an investigation after threatening to cut funding for the fair, an annual event that receives state tax dollars.

Politicians and the national media jumped all over the incident, deeming it to be inappropriate and disrespectful. However, very few are acknowledging that what took place in Sedalia, Mo., on Saturday night was a duplication of a stunt that has been performed many times before.

In fact, it was documented back in 1994 that a dummy wearing a President George H.W. Bush mask, propped up by a broomstick, was employed as a decoy during a bull riding riding contest.

One member of the Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association who was at Saturday’s event told the Associatedto have eliminated his own colon cancer and other serious health
problems decades ago by “following
biblical principles for a natural diet and healthy lifestyle.” These claims
are, needless to say, hard to verify, though in 1998 Malkmus admitted that he
never consulted a cancer specialist for diagnosis but relied on nutritionists
and chiropractors. He also ostensibly had a stroke in 2001, which he claims to
have treated with woo and no scientifically recognized medical intervention.
Perhaps the most striking thing about his medical history is how abysmally poor
his health has (ostensibly) been while (putatively) following his diet.

“health ministers” Olin Idol and Graeme Coad – names to take note of) and sell

The Jefferson County Board of Education’s new members took their seats Nov. 21 and wasted little time in making their voices heard.

Ken Witt, one of three new board members elected in a conservative landslide Nov. 5, was chosen as board president minutes after he was sworn in before a standing-room-only crowd.

Julie Williams and John Newkirk, the other new members, were also elected to leadership positions, as first vice president and secretary, respectively, the new majority sweeping the top spots on the five-member board.

The three ran as a slate of conservative candidates in the Nov. 5 election, their campaigns pushing for more school choice and opposing Amendment 66, the statewide ballot measure asking for a $950 million tax increase.

Addressing the audience Thursday, Witt offered up some “rumor control” andLakewood High School, 9700 W. Eighth Ave., not the board chambers in the district administration building in Golden.

Witt said he hopes to move the meetings throughout the community to make it easier for people to participate.

During Thursday’s meeting, the board sat at a long folding table on the floor below the traditional raised dais in the board chambers — which district officials said came at the request of the new members.

More than 40 people spoke during a public comment session after the swearing-in ceremony.

Each speaker received only one minute to address the board, the mix of parents and teachers both concerned and excited about the change in leadership.

A number of teachers, including a large contingent from Lakewood High School, invited the new board into their classrooms to see


the trend in the prior art has been required. On the other hand, a silicon dioxide film which has been used as a gate insulating film in the prior art has advantages in that it is excellent in interface characteristics with a silicon substrate, and in that it has a large band gap as an insulating film. However, it has a dielectric constant of 3.8 to 3.9. Thus, the film thickness is required to be set at around 3 nm even for meeting the current requirements on the device performances. The film thickness of the insulating film is determined by a necessary channel induced charge amount. The channel induced charge amount Qc is expressed as the following equation:
Qc=Vxc2x7∈0xc2x7∈/t (q/cm2)
where t denotes the gate insulating film thickness, ∈ denotessubstrate, and a gate electrode disposed via the gate insulating film on the semiconductor substrate, wherein the gate insulating film is an insulating film having a higher dielectric constant than that of a silicon dioxide film, the end portions in the gate length direction of the gate insulating film are positioned inwardly from the respective end portions on the source side and on the drain side of the gate electrode, and the end portions of the gate insulating film are positioned in a region in which the gate electrode overlaps with a source region and a drain region in plan configuration.
Further, in order to attain the first object, a semiconductor device according to another aspect of the present invention has a field effect transistor which includes a semiconductor


substrate, a gate insulating film on the semiconductor substrate, and a gate electrode disposed via the gate insulating film on the semiconductor substrate, wherein the gate insulating film is an insulating film having a higher dielectric constant than that of a silicon dioxide film, and the end portions in the gate length direction thereof are positioned inwardly from the respective end portions on the source side and on the drain side of the gate electrode, and a source region and a drain region of the field effect transistor extend into the underlying portion of the gate insulating film.
In either of the semiconductor devices, the end portions of the gate insulating film are respectively the end portions of the site which is largest in thickness. In other words, whenthe gate insulating film is made of a plurality of layers, and the positions of respective end portions thereof differ from one another, the inside between the portions positioned most inwardly from the end portions of the gate electrode corresponds to the thickest site of the gate insulating film. Accordingly, the portions are respectively the end portions of the gate insulating film. Further, even when the end portions of the gate insulating film are not perpendicular to the substrate, the portions positioned most inwardly from the end portions of the gate electrode are respectively the end portions thereof.
It is preferable that the end portions in the gate length direction of the gate insulating film are positioned inwardly from the respective end portions on the source side and on


the drain side of the gate electrode by 15 nm to 25 nm, respectively. It is preferable that as the gate insulating film, the oxide, the oxynitride, the silicate compound, or the like of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of titanium, tantalum, hafnium, zirconium, aluminium, lanthanum, and strontium is used. Herein, the silicate compound is defined as a compound having a structure in which the oxide of the metal is contained in the dioxide of silicon (SiO2). Further, the dielectric constant of the gate insulating film is preferably up to about 300. The reason for this is as follows: if it exceeds 300, the film thickness of the gate insulating film becomes too large.
When the gate insulating film is made of a plurality ofsecond insulating film having a lower dielectric constant than that of the gate insulating film at least laterally in the gate length direction of the gate electrode, and on the semiconductor substrate; and implanting a dopant into the substrate through the second insulating film by an ion implantation method to form the source region and the drain region, and allowing the source region and the drain region to extend into the underlying portion of the gate insulating film.
Still further, in order to attain the second object, a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device according to another aspect of the present invention includes the steps of: forming a first insulating film having a higher dielectric constant than that of a silicon dioxide film on a semiconductor substrate, forming a


second insulating film having a higher dielectric constant than that of the first insulating film on the first insulating film, and forming a conductive film on the second insulating film; processing the conductive film into a gate electrode; removing the second insulating film so that the part underlying the gate electrode is left, and the end portions of the residual part are positioned inwardly of the end portion on the side on which a source region is to be formed and the end portion on the side on which a drain region is to be formed of the gate electrode, and thereby allowing the residual part to serve as a gate insulating film; and implanting a dopant into the substrate through the first insulating film by an ionimplantation method to form the source region and the drain region, and allowing the source region and the drain region to extend into the underlying portion of the gate insulating film.
It is preferable that the insulating film having a higher dielectric constant is formed in amorphous state, and the removal of the insulating film having a higher dielectric constant is partially performed by dry etching, and then further performed by wet etching. Further, it is preferable that the insulating film having a higher dielectric constant is crystallized after wet etching. Still further, the removal of the insulating film having a higher dielectric constant is performed such that the end portions of the residual part are positioned inwardly from the respective end portions on the source region side and


on the drain region side of the gate electrode by 15 nm to 25 nm, respectively. The residual part serves as the gate insulating film, and hence each of the end portions thereof has the same meaning as that of each of the end portions of the gate insulating film described above.
The implantation of the dopant can be performed by an oblique ion implantation method. The materials for the gate insulating film and the materials for the gate electrode are the same as described above. Further, it is possible that the gate electrode is a polysilicon, and a plurality of the gate electrodes have mutually different work functions by using different substances for the ion implantation from one gate electrode to another.

Nat Wolff as Light Turner’s first encounter with the Death Note
Still image via Netflix

By Amanda Berry

Contributing Writer

For those of you who love the anime series “Death Note,” beware of the Netflix movie rendition.

While in the past Netflix has made some great movie adaptations, “Death Note” is not one of them.

The movie rears away from the anime’s plot, adding a cringe worthy love story into the mix.

Spoiler Alert: The movie starts off with an intro similar to that of a cheesy teen high school love story.

When the main character, Light Turner, played by Nat Wolff, is introduced his characteristics are vastly different from the anime series.

The same goes for all the characters throughout the movie, but Turner is for


sure the furthest off from the original.

The film lacks plot and even though the story moves in a linear fashion, nothing is accomplished at the end.

L, a detective played by Keith Stanfield, ultimately does not catch Kira (the evil name given to Turner and who was attributed to the murders), and nothing is said of whether Turner will continue on killing people for justice, or if he will give up the notebook.

Also, nothing is said of what happens now that Turner’s father, who is also a policeman, will arrest his son for committing these murders.

When making a movie adaptation to a novel or TV series, one would think the directors would stick closely to the plot and character as much as possible, because the fans are their biggestfavorite actors is

and Old Side Behind Bastion Wall. The original bastion walls were then renamed as New Side Front Bastion Wall and Old Side Front Bastion Wall. In Dutch, these names are often written as one word, hence the extraordinarily long names for these four canal streets: Nieuwezijdsachterburgwal, Nieuwezijdsvoorburgwal, Oudezijdsvoorburgwal and Oudezijdsachterburgwal. When the canals of the bastion walls at the new side were filled in, the Nieuwezijdsachterburgwal was renamed as Spuistraat. Nieuwezijdsvoorburgwal kept its name.

The Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal contains a number of famous buildings, including the Royal Palace of Amsterdam, the Nieuwe Kerk, the Amsterdams Historisch Museum and the former main post office which is now the Magna Plaza.

rights causes a conviction to be disregarded for fed-
eral felon-in-possession statutes. Treatment as an armed
career criminal depends on three qualifying prior
felony convictions, and Adams contends that he should
be resentenced without the enhancement under §924(e).
  The two convictions on which Adams maintains that
his civil rights have been restored arose from robberies
in 1981 and 1982. He was sentenced by an Illinois court
to 180 days in jail plus three years’ probation for the
1981 armed robbery; he committed the second robbery
while on probation from the first. That crime led to the
revocation of his probation plus new convictions for
robbery and aggravated battery. His total sentence
was four years in prison; he was paroled on August 20,
1984.
