5 Worst Blown Calls In College Football History

The most thrilling finish of Week 2 of the college football season was undoubtedly in Stillwater, where Oklahoma State was taking on Central Michigan. On fourth down in the final seconds the Cowboys, up 27-24, chose to take an intentional grounding penalty as time expired. With the loss of down, Central Michigan was awarded one untimed down, in which they used a wild Hail Mary and lateral to score the game-winning touchdown. Only there was one problem – the play never should have happened.

It became quickly apparent that the rulebook was misinterpreted, and CMU never should have been given a chance to win the game. The officiating crew from Saturday’s game has since been suspended for two weeks as a resultby four in the final minute when tight end Jon Boman caught a pass and slipped at the one-yard line. It gave the Buffs a first down.

On first down they spiked the ball to stop the clock, setting up second down. However, because of the frenetic late-game pace, the chain marker never adjusted, and on second down it indicated that the play was still first down. That created mass confusion, as later in the sequence Colorado spiked the ball to stop the clock on what the chains said was third down, but in reality was fourth down, thus the drive should have ended on the blunder. Instead, the Buffs were awarded a “phantom fifth down” on accident, where they scored. The referees realized their error, but debated for

“There could be a small number of WWII-era medal sets still in the hands of military service customers and it is possible that recent and current issues of medals were made from stock produced in previous time periods,” Schirmacher said in an e-mail.

The DLA has ordered about 34,000 Purple Hearts since 1976, of which 21,000 were ordered in 2008, she said.

But Giangreco, who wrote a book about the planned invasion of Japan, maintains that the bulk of Purple Hearts in stock date back to World War II. His research found that most of the refurbished Purple Hearts were sent to military depots, units and hospitals


between 1985 and 1999.

Since then, about 4,400 troops have been killed in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and about 40,000 troops wounded, according to the latest Defense Department figures. Veterans are also regularly being awarded the Purple Heart retroactively, according to the Military Order of the Purple Heart.

While Giangreco did not know the number of veterans who have been awarded the Purple Heart over the past 10 years, based on government figures, he estimated it is still less than the number of remaining World War II-era Purple Hearts.

Purple Hearts from World War II had different ribbons than medals built nowadays, but the refurbished Purple Hearts have been given new ribbons to put them in line with current requirements, making the old and new awards look almost identical,The years between 1946 and 1960 are fresh in most older Americans'
memories. They were good times for many, as the agonies of the Great
Depression and World War II had come to an end and it was time to catch up
for all of the lost time. GI's and their brides settled into new suburban
settings in unprecedented numbers, contributed to the emerging baby boom,
and enjoyed the rewards of economic properity and a new consumer culture;
modern America had indeed made its debut. It was also a time, however, with
an ugly side that is less likely recalled so dearly. Jim Crow was alive and
well, women were largely relegated to the responsibilities of a domestic
life regardless of personal choice, conformity was the norm, and the Cold
War stirred both witch hunts and fears of


nuclear Armageddon. It was a
complex time that is, paradoxically, remembered for its simplicity. What
was life like in one small town during those days? Can we trace national
macro-trends and developments in one locale? To find out, the Wayland High
School History Project team embarked on this quest in the Spring of 2004. A
second group continued the work in the Spring of 2005, completing the site.

As you explore the pages on Post-War Life, you'll note that indeed
in many ways life in Wayland Massachusetts serves as a microcosm of the
national experience. The quaint, rural town more than doubled in size in
ten years time, farms were replaced by residential developments, and new
employment opportunities presented themselves in corporations like Raytheon.
Men returned home from World War II and found the old and familiar blending
with thenew and different. Many vets settled down, married a high school
sweetheart, and contributed to the baby boom. Families stocked their homes
with a wide range of consumer goods advertised in the Town Crier and
available in a number of area department stores or down at the new Shopper's
World in Framingham. Children could enjoy the baseball, football, and
basketball programs, which in the 50's were second-to-none. Come spring,
hundreds gathered to celebrate at the annual Strawberry Festival gobbling
down treats, square dancing, and eagerly awaiting the crowning of the
Strawberry Queen. Summertime meant lazy afternoons of Lake Cochituate and
Dudley Pond. It was a good time and a fine place to raise a family claim "Mrs. Everywomen."

Everyday life resisted the intrusion of international issues
relating to the Cold War, but citizens couldn't escape the realities of the
Post-War


world order. A handful of Wayland's finest were called to duty in
Korea, and the trauma of McCarthyism hit us hard. Our victim was the
well-respected second grade teacher Miss Ann Hale, ousted from her job due
to connections with the Communist party. In the northern reaches of town
the military constructed a Nike Missile base as part of the national defense
system, and some 500 citizens were involved in the Civil Defense Program.

Yes, Wayland was changing with the times and the growing pains could
be severe. Few could object to the assignment of street numbers to all
homes or the new dial phone system that replaced the old crank phones.
Gone, however, were the familiar voices of the operators at the Wayland
Center switchboard. While urban renewal efforts 15 miles east in Boston
resulted in the razingof the old West End, the local Board of Health
determined that some 80-90 old shacks around Dudley Pond should be similarly
knocked down and the area modernized. Perhaps the devastating fire at the
local Mansion Inn most succinctly represents the changes of the period: just
as the smokey remains of the pond-side Inn dissipated in the wind and the
site was readied for the latest of the residential developments, so went the
ways of the pre-war rural town, the memories of which fade as the calendar
pages turn.

FC Dallas let a two-goal lead slip as they drew 2-2 with Toronto FC in what was an enthralling MLS contest at BMO Field on Saturday.

The Western Conference-leading Dallas outfit went ahead through Andrew Jacobson's 34th-minute strike and doubled their lead just before the hour mark after Blas Perez volleyed home his second goal of the season.

Despite the deficit, Toronto refused to go away and they were given hope when Justin Braun scored with six minutes remaining. Darel Russell then smashed home a stunning effort from outside the box in the final minute of normal time to hand Toronto an unlikely point.

Green City: How One Community Survived a Tornado and Rebuilt for a Sustainable Future

By Allan Drummond

On May 4, 2007 a devastating tornado hit Greensburg, Kansas, destroying the town in 9 minutes. When the residents of the town climbed from their shelters, they emerged into a world completely changed. There were nomore homes, no school, no hospital, no grocery store or other shops. No banks, theater, churches, or water tower. Even the trees had been shredded. Only three buildings remained.

The citizens were urged to move away. Rebuilding would be impossible, some said, and what was the point anyway when the wind could destroy it all again? But others saw opportunity to construct a different kind of town. With the help of volunteers and donations from around the world, Greensburg began the Herculean task of designing and building a new town.

After clearing away 388,000 tons of debris and moving into a community of trailer homes, the people began to envision a unique, green town. Individuals designed sustainable houses of different shapes and materials that would work with the environment. Businesses,


too, incorporated sustainability into their offices, retail centers, and hotels as did the hospital and the water tower. A wind farm large enough to provide energy for the entire town was built on the edge of this innovative city.

A new school was central to the town’s survival, and for three years the teachers held class in small trailers. Along with their regular studies, the kids became experts in environmental science. After several years Greenburg became a thriving city—a testament to conservation and sustainability that remains an example for global communities now and in the future.

Allan Drummond tells this fascinating story of a community that would not give up in an honest and sensitive way that highlights the courage and pride of a town amid devastating loss. Told fromup time for Mom to keep cooking by working in the fields, “but their big feet just squished and squashed everything in sight.”

Finally, there were just not enough pancakes at home, so Paul hugged his mom and set off into the deep dark forest to find his “pancake fortune” with Babe at his heels. With their heads in the clouds and their bellies empty, they happened upon a lumberman with a huge problem. The Syrup River was dammed up with pancakes and the logs couldn’t get through. It was just the job for Paul and Babe!

About the Holiday

First designed in Germany in the 13th century, buttonholes revolutionized clothing, bags, and other objects that required closing and inspired a new art form. Designers and manufacturers took buttons to heart, making them not only functional but beautiful. Created from iridescent shells, sparkling glass, bone, and other materials, these little canvases were infused with paintings, intricate carvings, astonishing color, and more eye-catching features. Today, buttons still lend distinction and personality to outfits for all ages.

A New York federal court has ordered cryptocurrency hedge fund Gelfman Blueprint, Inc. (GBI) and its CEO Nicholas Gelfman to pay over $2.5 million for operating a fraudulent Ponzi scheme, according to an official announcement published Oct. 18.

GBI is a New York-based corporation and denominated Bitcoin (BTC) hedge fund incorporated in 2014. As stated on the company’s website, by 2015 it had 85 customers and 2,367 BTC under management.

The order is the continuation of the initial anti-fraud enforcement action filed by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) against GBI in September 2017. The CFTC charged GBI for allegedly running a Ponzi scheme from 2014 to 2016, telling investors that it had developed a computer algorithm called “Jigsaw” which allowed for substantial returns through a commodity fund.

The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) claims the DC Streetcar, as it is officially titled, "will make travel within the District much easier for residents, workers and visitors, and it will complement the existing transit options." DDOT claims that the multi-million dollar taxpayer-funded project is needed because the existing Metrorail and Metrobus does not have the necessary infrastructure to connect certain neighborhoods, according to DDOT officials.

Moreover, they insist the new streetcar system, which has been undergoing "testing" remains under construction without an official start date, could help to revitalize commercial corridors, lessen traffic congestion and alleviate pollution. At least those are the


British driver Justin Wilson hoped to be released from a California hospital Monday after fracturing his pelvis in the IndyCar season finale.

Wilson also bruised his lung in the Saturday night crash at Fontana.

He said in a telephone interview Monday with The Associated Press he won't be able to put any weight on his right leg for at least six weeks, but was thankful the three pelvic fractures won't require surgery.

Wilson's accident came two weeks after three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dario Franchitti fractured two vertebrae, his right ankle and suffered a concussion in an Oct. 6 crash at Houston.

It's also Wilson's second serious injury in two years. He broke a bone in his back in a 2011 crash that sidelined him more than two months.as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway. Wolfe and Perkins develop a tender, complex friendship. Transformative and irrepressible, this friendship will change the lives of these brilliant, but very different men forever.

William Maxwell Evarts Perkins was born in 1884 in New York City, and grew up in Plainfield, New Jersey. He took an economics major at Harvard University and worked as a reporter for The New York Times before he joined Charles Scribner’s Sons – a venerable NYC publishing house that survives to this day – in 1910.

He was a family man, married to Louise Saunders, a playwright, and with five daughters.

Scribner’s was already a renowned organization when Perkins joined, publishing great works from established authors such as Henry James and Edith Wharton. But Perkins had a passion


for discovering young authors, whose work was ahead of its time.

In 1919, Perkins persuaded his bosses to take a chance on a young writer named F. Scott Fitzgerald. When Scribner’s published “This Side of Paradise” in 1920, it heralded the arrival of a new literary generation that Perkins worked tirelessly to help define.

In his time at Scribner’s he shepherded the works of Ernest Hemingway, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, J.P. Marquand, Erskine Caldwell, James Jones, Marguerite Young and many more.

But perhaps his defining relationship was with an author who was in his mid 20s when his 1,100-page first work landed on Max Perkins’ desk.

Thomas Clayton Wolfe was born in Asheville, North Carolina in 1900. A prolific writer, his manuscripts would arrive at Scribner’s by the crate, with sentences that couldMax Perkins, alongside Jude Law (Anna Karenina, The Grand Budapest Hotel) as Thomas Wolfe, with Guy Pearce (The Rover, Lawless) as F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Dominic West (Testament of Youth, Pride), as Ernest Hemingway.

“Something of the spirit of his writers was alive in Perkins too,” notes Colin Firth, who is charged with bring Perkins to the screen in Genius. “Berg points out in his book that he came from two very different families, and it was as though the English Civil War were raging inside him. The Perkins side was artistic and flamboyant and bohemian to an extent, and the Evarts side was the conformist, puritanical, reserved side. That’s the side, I think, that would probably have met the eye when one first met Max Perkins, but this


the work,” says Law. “It was a huge act of selfishness, and in the end selfishness bred indulgence. He became an indulgent man at the expense of others, but he still felt he was doing it for the work, and that the work was important.”

Aside from Wolfe’s parents and Perkins, Law notes, the author’s other essential relationship was with Aline Bernstein, one of the most renowned theatrical costume designers of her day, with whom he had a tumultuous affair. “Wolfe had copious lovers,” he says, “but Aline was his love, his muse, and his champion.”

“They were addicted to one another at a certain point,” says Nicole Kidman, who plays Bernstein in Genius. “She was a formidable woman – an incredibly strong career woman who was ahead of herLouise, and a respect, there was also, frankly, a jealousy. She was an artistic person herself who had been relegated to the suburbs. She would forego her own artistic journey to have his children and live his life.”

She summarizes: “The relationship between these men was so intense and it took up all of their time. The women in their lives both felt their absence keenly.”

Even Einhard, his dedicated servant and biographer, wouldn’t get drawn into the specifics of Charlemagne’s early life in his fawning magnum opus, The Life of Charles the Great. The very fact that this account exists—probably the first biography of a European ruler—is testament to how important he was (or at least was seen to be). In many European languages, the word “king” is itself derived from Charlemagne’s name.

He was the son of Pippin the Short, an aggressive ruler of France who expanded the Frankish kingdom until his death during the return journey from a campaign against the persistently rebellious realm of Aquitaine in 768. Charlemagne stepped up as his successor, and continued the


expansion with aplomb. He battled the Saxons to the northeast, the Lombards in Italy, and Muslims in Spain. He capitalized on his father’s good political relations with the Vatican, and in 800 was crowned the first Holy Roman Emperor by Pope Leo III in St Peter’s Basilica, an event so momentous that Charlemagne marked it by giving Leo one of the great medieval relics as a thank you—the Holy Prepuce, better known as Jesus’ foreskin.

A fecund ruler, Charlemagne sired at least 18 children by motley wives and concubines, including nine by his second wife, Hildegard of Vinzgau. These kin included Charles the Younger, Pippin the Hunchback, Drogo of Metz, Hruodrud, Ruodhaid, Adalheid, Hludowic, and not forgetting Hugh, and he consolidated his reign by installing many of his sonsin positions of power across the expanding empire. Royal lineages are historically the only ones to get documented well until the modern era, and Charlemagne’s lineage is bountiful. We can trace a path directly from his fruitful loin: It begins with his son Louis the Pious, via Lothar, Bertha, Willa, Rosele, eight men called Baldwin, and so on through the ages until it reaches the 21st century in a Dutch family called the Backer-Dirks, whose family tree all the way back to the king is publicly available online.

This pedigree, by gorgeous chance, also contains Joachim Neumann, a 17th-century German Protestant preacher, who sought peace and meditation away from the political machinations and church hullabaloo of Dusseldorf in a small cave near the river Dussel. He had changed his


name from Neumann to a Greek version with the same meaning: new man. He wasn’t the only new man in that cave. This was the location of the very first new human to be identified, a century later, in the valley of Joachim Neander—Neanderthal man.

Sometime at the end of the 13th century lived a man or woman from whom all Europeans could trace ancestry.

What a lineage to behold! It comes as no great surprise that in the world of amateur genealogy, being descended from imperial royalty is considered of high cachet. In fact, descent from anyone actually named from history brings prestige, as the vast majority of humans have drifted into and out of existence leaving little or no historical footprint that shows they ever drew breath. Tobe drawn from the bloodline of a king, and not just any old Holy Roman Emperor, but the very first, must be momentous.

Christopher Lee—the great actor who among his roles counts Dracula; Tolkien’s Saruman the White; the Man with the Golden Gun himself, Scaramanga; the fallen Jedi Count Dooku; and The Wicker Man’s Lord Summerisle—claimed direct ancestry to King Charlemagne via the ancient house of his mother, Countess Estelle Marie (née Carandini di Sarzano):

The Carandini family is one of the oldest in Europe and traces itself back to the first century A.D. It is believed to have been connected with the Emperor Charlemagne, and as such was granted the right to bear the coat of arms of the Holy Roman Empire by Emperor Frederick Barbarossa.

Maybe it was to


Asia, too, but that is more likely to do with the geographical center point from which the migrations are calculated. If this sounds too recent, or baffling because of remote populations in South America or the islands of the South Pacific, remember that no population is known to have remained isolated over a sustained period of time, even in those remote locations. The influx of the Spanish into South America meant their genes spread rapidly into decimated indigenous tribes, and eventually to the most remote peoples. The inhabitants of the minuscule Pingelap and Mokil atolls in the mid-Pacific have incorporated Europeans into their gene pools after they were discovered in the years of the 19th century. Even religiously isolated groups such as the Samaritans, who number fewer thanfor:

in the exemption.

And to the frustration of the scientists, supporters of the big cats
are fighting any moves to change that part of the law. ``They have no vision
of conservation,'' said bighorn expert John Wehausen, a biologist with
the University of California's White Mountain Research Station, in criticism
of the Mountain Lion Foundation, his primary opponent on the issue.

``They're an animal rights group, not an environmental group,'' said
Wehausen. ``We (wildlife biologists) are concerned with habitat preservation
and maintaining rich biodiversity, but they're concerned with the life
of a particular animal in a particular place. They essentially reject science.''

Lynn Sadler, the executive director of the Mountain Lion Foundation,
countered that the link between mountain lion predation and bighorn declines
has not been adequately demonstrated.

``Predators eat endangered species all the time,'' she said. ``It's
what they were putalmost a century.

Although they had once ranged across the spine of the Sierra, these
magnificent animals had been reduced to a few isolated herds by 1900.

Disease and overhunting were the primary culprits. Bighorns are exceedingly
susceptible to domestic sheep maladies, and bighorn meat was considered
so succulent and delicious that it was featured on the menus of restaurants
in Bodie, now a deserted mining town on the eastern slope of the Sierra.

By the late 1970s, only about 250 sheep were left. They lived in two
herds in the central Sierra, one on Mount Baxter and another on Mount Williamson.
In 1986, biologists began transplanting animals from the Baxter herd to
Lee Vining Canyon, just outside Yosemite National Park.

The animals thrived, and other transplants followed, to both the Lee
Vining Canyon area and Mount Langley in the


southern Sierra. By 1991, the
Sierra Nevada bighorn population stood at about 400 animals and was expanding
rapidly.

``It was fantastic,'' recalled Wehausen, a lean, gangly man with a spare
ginger-colored beard. ``The herds were growing at 24 percent a year --
that's a remarkable rate.''

But that began to change, biologists say, with the passage of Proposition
117 in 1990.

The state's cougar population climbed quickly after the measure was
approved and is now estimated at 5,000 animals. Within two years of the
initiative's passage, biologists began to note a dramatic increase in the
number of sheep killed by lions.

Further, researchers say, the lions were changing the bighorn's behavior
in a way that was anything but healthy for the bighorns.

``We always knew that lions killed sheep,'' said Leslie Chow, a biologist
with the U.S. Geological Service who studies cougars inThe Project

Hello my name is Alex Miller and I am asking you to help me save a unique and threatened African monkey by supporting my PhD research at the University of Western Australia.

My research focuses on the Ruwenzori colobus which is a charismatic African primate inhabiting Nyungwe National Park in Rwanda. Very little is known about this species' natural history, in particular dietary requirements, social organisation, and environmental pressures threatening their survival. Nyungwe National Park is the only place in the world where the Ruwenzori colobus are known to form unique ‘supergroups’, roaming the forest in groups of up to 500 individuals.

The Ruwenzori colobus monkey is restricted to only a few fragmented sites in Eastern Africa, and is endangered by habitat destruction, encroaching farmlands, hunting within the borders


Failure of histamine type mediators to enhance vascular permeability in experimental liver metastases.
The effects of histamine, bradykinin, serotonin and reactive hyperemia on vascular permeability in Walker carcinosarcomas and host liver tissue were studied in rats. A quantitative Evans blue technique was used to assess vascular permeability. While the expected increases in permeability occurred in the liver five minutes after the administration of the histamine type drugs, the drugs failed to increase vascular permeability in the tumors at all the time periods studied. The liver responded variably at 30 minutes after drug administration, and all effects had disappeared at six hours. The only increase in vascular permeability seen in the tumors was that occurring five minutes after the establishment of reactive hyperemia.

Head to New York for the city's first Mendoza Crush Fest

Source: TravelMole
04.09.2009

This May 3rd, City Winery (CW), New York City's first and only wine-making facility, will join forces with Algodon Wine Estates (AWE), Argentina's premier wine and golf estate, for an unprecedented Argentine wine-crushing event.

AWE is currently shipping six tons of Malbec and Bonarda grapes from its vineyards in Mendoza (winner of the 2008 wine region of the year award from Wine Enthusiast) to New York to be crushed and made into wine in New York City for the public to see. This will be CW's (and New York's) first international grape crush, and to celebrate the event, CW will be producing the first annual Mendoza Crush Fest for the public on Sunday, April 26.

However, the victim’s wife believes her husband was later lured to the lake and killed by the man in an “honor killing.”

Prosecutor Gun-Britt Strøm has said the attack was carried out with intent and “could be called honor conflict,” SVT quoted her as saying.

The suspect has denied committing murder, saying he was assaulted by the man and merely used the scissors as a self-defense weapon.

The suspect says he had the scissors in his tackle box, as he was at the lake to go fishing. He claims he would have used another weapon in the box, such as a knife, if he had intended to kill the man, according to Expressen.

Defendants' Reply in Support of Motion to Dismiss Complaint & Special Motion to Strike Plaintiff's State Law Claim

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) filed suit against Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG), asking a federal court to protect the fair use and free speech rights of a mother who posted a short video of her toddler son dancing to a Prince song on the Internet. Stephanie Lenz's 29-second recording shows her son bouncing along to the Prince song "Let's Go Crazy," which is heard playing in the background. Lenz uploaded the home video to YouTube in February to share it with her family and friends. But last month, YouTube informed Lenz that it had removed the video from its website after Universal claimed that the recording infringed a copyright controlled(six days longer across the southeastern U.S.).

The warmer atmosphere is also contributing to other changes, including sea level rises. Globally, the report says, the average sea level has risen about 8 inches in the last century, and additional rises of 1 to 4 feet are projected. The Outer Banks and sound-side areas of North Carolina are highly susceptible to this rise, according to the report’s authors. In fact, the state Department of Transportation is raising the roadbed of U.S. Highway 64 in eastern North Carolina near the Albemarle and Pamlico sounds to protect it against rising sea levels.

Precipitation patterns are also shifting globally, with some areas getting wetter while others dry out. The desert Southwest, northern Rockies, Hawaii and parts of the Southeast have seen annual precipitation trending


downward, with western and central North Carolina seeing drops of 5 to 15 percent of annual rainfall. As a result, the report asserts, availability of fresh water for drinking and other uses in much of North Carolina will also trend downward in the next 50 years, perhaps by 2.5 percent. The southeastern quarter of North Carolina may see water availability trend upward, however, as a result of higher precipitation trends.

The report also documents reductions in arctic sea ice, the mass of ice over Antarctica and in glacial ice content elsewhere, as well as changes in patterns of extreme weather events such as floods, droughts, snowstorms and hurricanes. It concludes with a wide range of response strategies, including mitigation (e.g., reducing carbon emissions) and adaptation techniques.Libous: Drill on Camp Pharsalia

Senate GOP Deputy Majority Leader Tom Libous has an idea for the shuttered Camp Pharsalia, a closed prison in his district — drill for gas.

Libous, speaking with Fred Dicker on Talk 1300, suggested the empty, unused facility, which has had no buyers and is emblematic of upstate’s shrinking prison economy, could make a good spot for drilling.

Libous, whose district runs through parts of the Southern Tier and Central New York, has emerged as a leading spokesman for the proposed hydrofracking that he and other supporters believe could pull the region out of poverty.

He fired back in the news last week against fracking opponents, including lawmakers whose districts won’t be home to the activity, basically telling them to butt out.

Abdul Qayoom Najar carried a reward of Rs 10,00,000 on his head. Abdul Qayoom Najar carried a reward of Rs 10,00,000 on his head.

The security forces on Tuesday gunned down Hizbul Mujahideen commander Abdul Qayoom Najar in an encounter near the Line of Control (LoC) in Uri sector as he was trying to sneak into the valley to take charge of the outfit, Jammu and Kashmir Police said. Najar carried a reward of Rs 10,00,000 on his head.

It was a major success for the security forces as Najar was wanted for his alleged involvement in more than 50 killings, including that of policemen in Hygam area of Sopore, in the past 17 years. Baramulla Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Imtiyaz Hussain said, “Najar was killed as security forcesfoiled an infiltration bid in Lachipora area near the LoC this morning.”

“He was returning to Kashmir to take over the command of Hizbul Mujahideen in the wake of elimination of top commanders of the outfit by security forces,” he told PTI. “Najar started his career as a terrorist with the killing of Hizb commander Abdul Majid Dar in 2003,” he added.

The officer said Najar was called to the base camp in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir by his handlers in 2015 after he fell out with the Hizb leadership. “He was now tasked with reviving the outfit in Kashmir in the wake of elimination of top militants,” he said.

For years Najar, one of the most wanted militants in North Kashmir has kept the police and the army on toes. He had


to be Najar.

Najar, the longest surviving militant, was one of the top commanders of Hizbul Mujahideen. A resident of Sopore town, he joined militancy barely at an age of 16. He was arrested in 1992 and later released. After his release, Najar recycled into the militancy in 1995. Though for many years, Najar was a militant, he always aspired to become a top commander after killing and arrest of top Hizbul commanders, Najar was the senior most active commander and thus the de-facto operational chief of Hizb.

A 31-year-old multigravida with a gestation of 31 weeks was admitted in premature labor with placenta previa. The premature labor had been inhibited for two and half months with a tocolytic agent (ritodrine). However, at 32-week gestation an infection was found, the labor broke through the therapy and cesarean section was carried out under spinal anesthesia. Acute pulmonary edema developed post-operatively. An endotracheal intubation was performed followed by respiratory management for four days. Ritodrine is the beta-minetic used most extensively in the therapy of premature labor. However, with overdosage, maternal cardiac and pulmonary complications may occur. In this case, it is possible to have been caused by the long term use of ritodrine. Additionally, the

"These are people who were taken to be questioned, interrogated, probably tortured," said Fredy Peccerelli, an activist leading efforts to exhume the bodies later this year with $1 million in aid from the United States and Europe.

"If they knew very little, (they were) killed quickly. If they knew a lot, they were held first for three to six months," added Peccerelli, who runs the non-governmental Forensic Anthropology Foundation and who worked in Bosnia after the 1992-95 Balkan conflict.

Almost a quarter of a million people were killed or disappeared during the conflict between leftist guerrillas and the government. Over 80 percent of the murders were committed by the army, according to a U.N.-backed truth commission.

Activists say many of the dead at La Verbena were between the agesproper burial.

Peccerelli hopes the forensic evidence will also be used in the prosecution of former police and army officers.

Earlier this month, two former policemen became the first people to be arrested and charged over the forced disappearance of student leader Fernando Garcia, who went missing in 1984 and whose body has never been found.

Corrupt.org was an attempt to take the raw id that the writings on nihilism expressed and apply it to sober and sensible policy which could avert the twin tragedies of ecocide and civilization decay in the West. At its core, the site was about transcendence, or seeing the underlying order to nature and learning to appreciate its beauty, then applying the lessons learned to our material world, since the organization of matter and thought share a common principle. It was abandoned when Alex Birch moved on from itcalcification. He no longer thinks about conquest, but of maintaining and improving what he already has. He seeks to avoid risk and, as socializing with others and trade enter the picture, becomes more concerned for appearances than realities. As a result, he slowly drifts away from knowledge of the world into an entirely human sphere composed of his own thoughts and how he can transfer those thoughts to others. He becomes focused on control and management, which euphemisms for projection and manipulation, and tends to think in terms of the types of simple structures that support those and forgets the more complex designs of both nature and his own imaginative thought. The result is stagnation from within, and while he may identify scapegoats outside of himself, the cause


and solution both lie within how he disciplines his thinking.

In the same way, Crowdism emerges from the human individual in a civilization. He already has grocery stores and hospitals, schools and roads, and other benefits of civilization, and he takes those for granted. What he wants is to avoid being seen as insufficient or inferior by the standards of the civilization. In other words, he fears not being included because he either falls short or people in society notice his motivations and find them dubious. To avoid the possibility of being excluded, he goes to war against the idea of standards itself. His main weapon is to play the victim: he claims that he has been oppressed, or otherwise injured, and demands a subsidy to raise him tothe exceptional traits of both.

Mike Brown never had a chance. He grew up in a culture destroyed by diversity. He could either be the lapdog of liberals and assimilate, or stick with a “black culture” mostly managed by Hollywood. Absolutely no one gave him a positive direction he could follow because to do so would be to refute diversity and say, â€œForget integrating into mixed-race America — be good by the standards of your community alone.â€ He was thrown into a social world that embraced victim culture and took on its trappings through gangsta rap and racial resentment, all of which primed him for the events which ended his life. Stoned, probably paranoid, angry and confused, he went on a crime spree and then panicked and assaulted a


police officer. These actions ended as one might expect and ultimately, while he was not a positive actor in the situation, he was very much someone who never was given any realistic option to his fate. We all know about the black kids who are good at school, go on to Harvard and make lots of money, but Mike Brown was not that. He was probably an individual of 90-95 IQ points who could have been a perfectly normal contributor in an African identitarian society, but in a mixed-race and racial pity infused society, he became a pawn for the political struggle of leftists to destroy majority culture, and it destroyed him.

You caused a bit of controversy over your views on Neoreaction. I know you are friends withfollowing: a bottom surface of the cylinder; an inner perimeter surface of the cylinder; a surface of a first projection projected from the casing toward an inner space of the cylinder, this first surface facing the bottom surface and being separated from the bottom surface by a prescribed gap; and an outer perimeter surface of a ring-shaped second projection, surrounding the rotor, projecting further than the first projection; PA1 (3) a variable orifice which is formed from an end surface of the second projection facing the rear surface of the impeller and the rear surface of the impeller.
In the conventional thrust balance mechanism, the centrifugal force from the rotation of the impeller causes fluid to be discharged radially. A portion of the fluid discharged in the centrifugal direction


fluid pressure within the thrust balance chamber. The pressure in the thrust direction causes the impeller to shift toward the casing surface facing the rear surface of the impeller.
As described above, in order to balance the pressure within the thrust balance chamber and the pressure from the fluid being suctioned and discharged, the impeller changes its position based on the gap in the fixed orifice, the gap in the variable orifice, as well as the volume of the thrust balance chamber. The change of position of the impeller maintains balance for the rotor along the thrust direction.
However, with thrust balance chamber in conventional thrust balance devices, the rear surface of the impeller is a rotation surface, while the casing surface facing the impeller is a fixed surface. Thus,fluid flowing into the thrust balance chamber receives an angular momentum energy from the impeller rotation. Additionally, fluid flowing into the thrust balance chamber rotates together with the impeller. As a result, a very high flow-path resistance is generated in the thrust balance chamber by the fluid rotating with the impeller.
The flow-path resistance of the fluid interposed between the rotation surface and the fixed surface is proportional to the square of the peripheral speed of the fluid rotating with the rotation surface. Thus, a large amount of fluid is present in the gap between the fixed surface and the rotation surface, especially in high-speed pumps where the impeller rotation speed is very high. Furthermore, the flow-path resistance of fluid in the thrust balance chamber becomes large in large


In the United States, approximately 900,000 youths smoke their first cigarette each year ([@R1]). Health communication interventions are evidence-based strategies for preventing the initiation of tobacco use, promoting and facilitating cessation, and changing beliefs and attitudes about tobacco use ([@R2],[@R3]). This report describes the association between the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) first national tobacco public education campaign, The Real Cost, and rates of smoking initiation among youths in the United States from 2014 to 2016. A nationally representative cohort study of youths (N = 5,185) was conducted during November 2013--March 2016. Results from a discrete-time survival model indicate that, among youths who reported never having smoked a cigarette in the baseline survey, the odds of reporting smoking initiation at follow-up were lower among youths with frequent exposurewins later. Even despite that win in 1970. The world of football hasn't done badly as a result of their intensity.

Bobby Charlton's monster against Mexico; David Narey's bomb against Brazil; Joe Cole's slash past Sweden; Peter Lorimer's zinger against Zaire: the Home Nations have contributed their fair share of outrageous netbusting strikes to the finals. But nothing holds a candle to this Welsh welt, proof positive that you could actually get that boulder moving in mid-air. Allchurch's arrow momentarily punctured a sombre atmosphere, too: the Hungarian fans spent the match protesting about the tragic events of the previous day, the execution of socialist hero Imre Nagy, fallen leader of the 1956 uprising.

The greatest collection of goals by a single team in a World Cup finals? People usually cite


Brazil 82's preposterous portfolio - Socrates' scorcher and Eder's flick-and-flay against Russia, Zico's free-kick past poor Alan Rough, Zico and Junior's raking 40-yard one-two against Argentina - but while that's none too shabby, the under-rated West German team of 1966 pasted together an equally sumptuous scrapbook. Franz Beckenbauer's insouciant double and Helmut Haller's imperious meander against Switzerland surely represent the greatest triple-whammy in any single World Cup match, while the young Beckenbauer's pelt past the great Lev Yashin in the semi against USSR is pure cheek. But Lothar Emmerich's equaliser against Spain in the first round - the Germans were going out at the time - is the pick of the bunch, a blistering finish into the top-right corner from the tightest of angles. England's 1966 winners arehardly under-rated, but rarely do they get recognition for besting such a gifted side over the last haul to the summit.

Hungary's Golden Team of 1954 put most great sides from the World Cup's rich history in the shade, so statistically it's no surprise they've done for one of their own. Their 1966 team, starring Florian Albert and Ferenc Bene, would surely be more fondly remembered if they were from somewhere else along the Danube, say Yugoslavia or Romania, and not the slightly less impressive successors of Puskas, Hidegkuti, Koscis, et al. Tight at the back, exciting going forward, they could easily have notched up their country's third appearance in a World Cup final had the USSR not bullied them out at the quarter-final stage. They still made their


mark, though, in a match which precipitated the quick decline of a footballing dynasty. In their second group game, facing elimination, they beat Brazil, inflicting the reigning champions' first World Cup defeat since 1954 (when of course that Golden Team did for them in the quarters). The goal that effectively decided the match was a belter, Farkas volleying a Bene right-wing cross into the bottom-right corner on the run at full pelt, despite the ball dropping just behind him. What was more remarkable was that the two Hungarians had played out an almost carbon-copy effort minutes earlier, Farkas volleying the dry run inches wide right. It was Garrincha's first-ever defeat as a member of A Seleção - in his last international. Brazil lost their next game, too, Pelehoofed out of the tournament by Portugal. Hungary made it through, though their Soviet nemesis awaited.

Holland's near misses in the World Cup finals of the 1970s are sure to always rankle – Rob Rensenbrink hitting the post in 78 beating the distracted no-show of 74 for sheer poignancy - but their failure to reach the summit in 1998 isn't recalled so frequently. The best team in France, they should have won, but did at least triumph in the tournament's signature match, against the second-best side, Argentina. Dennis Bergkamp's supernatural winner grabbed most of the attention – and understandably so – but Holland's opening goal was as smooth, and was created by three bursts of genius rather than just one: Ronald de Boer's shimmy and shake in the centre,


Bergkamp's cushioned header that took the entire Argentinian defence out of the game, Kluivert's gentle dink into the net. Holland couldn't put away their penalties in the semi and went out – and look at the farcical mess the Brazilians made of the final.

The World Cup's reputation has taken a right royal battering in the new millennium - 32 teams is just too many - but at least there have been a constant stream of wonder goals to soften the blow: Salif Diao's fast-breaking, reputation-making strike for Senegal against Denmark; Jared Borghetti's eyebrow stroker, the best goalkeeper in the world, Gianluigi Buffon, rooted to his spot; Esteban Cambiasso's 24-pass work of art against Serbia & Montenegro, Argentina's second-best goal at the 2006 finals; Maxi Rodríguez's knockout volley againstBy Hugh Handeyside

The recent abusive border search of a Canadian photojournalist should serve as a warning to everyone concerned about press freedom these days.

Ed Ou is a renowned photographer and TED senior fellow who has traveled to the United States many times to do work for The New York Times, Time magazine, and other media outlets. Last month, Ed was traveling from Canada to the U.S. to report on the protests against the Dakota Access pipeline in Standing Rock, North Dakota, when he was taken aside for additional inspection.

What came next left him questioning what he thought he knew about the U.S. government and the values it stands for, and we’re officially protesting to the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Although Ed clearly identified


himself as a journalist on his way to Standing Rock, the CBP officers detained him for more than six hours and subjected him to multiple rounds of intrusive interrogation.

They questioned him at length about his work as a journalist, his prior professional travel in the Middle East, and dissidents or “extremists” he had encountered or interviewed as a journalist. They photocopied his personal papers, including pages from his handwritten personal diary.

"So Al-Qaeda hired others to transport the uranium-filled box because constant exposure to the uranium will kill you." "Everybody that gets close to it dies?"

purity, and minimizing hydrogen leakage. Further research is needed to analyze the trade-offs between the hydrogen production options and the hydrogen delivery options when considered together as a system.

Building a national hydrogen delivery infrastructure is also a big challenge. It will take time to develop and will likely include combinations of various technologies. Delivery infrastructure needs and resources will vary by region and type of market—for example, urban, interstate, or rural. Infrastructure options will also evolve as the demand for hydrogen grows and as delivery technologies develop and improve.

H2FIRST Project

On April 30, 2014, the Energy Department announced the launch of a new project leveraging the capabilities of its National Laboratories in direct support of H2USA. The project is led by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and SandiaNational Laboratories (SNL) and will tackle the technical challenges related to hydrogen fueling infrastructure. The Hydrogen Fueling Infrastructure Research and Station Technology (H2FIRST) project is designed to reduce the cost and time of fueling station construction, increase station availability, and improve reliability by creating opportunities for industry partners to pool knowledge and resources to overcome hurdles. The project was established by FCTO, drawing on existing and emerging core capabilities at the national labs.

KINSHASA (Reuters) - The U.N. mission in Democratic Republic of Congo has confirmed 19 deaths and 45 injuries from gunshots during protests on Tuesday against President Joseph Kabila for overstaying his mandate, the human rights director said on Wednesday.

Spike and P.E. were such a perfect fit back in 1989 that he even directed this track's music video, featuring the dopest activist march/political convention/block party ever burned into celluloid. It made such an indellible impact, in fact, that nearly a quarter-century later I'm still afraid of a black planet.

Spike didn't skimp on the talent for the movie's soundtrack -- the music was recorded by the Branford Marsalis Quartet featuring Terrence Blanchard on trumpet, one of the earliest musical collaborations in a long partnership between Lee and Blanchard.

But the 3-2 vote in favor of expanding the pipeline followed a leak of 210,000 gallons of oil just days before. That oil gushed from a section of Keystone in South Dakota before TransCanada cut off the flow.

Plans for Keystone XL call for the pipeline to begin in Alberta's oil sands, sometimes called tar sands, and end at holding tanks in Patoka, Illinois, as well as points in Texas along the Gulf of Mexico.

Former President Barack Obama canceled the Keystone XL pipeline in November 2015 with an executive order that said it would neither help lower gas prices nor create that many jobs. He also cited the pipeline's


French raider 'better'

Matt Murnane and Andrew Eddy

LEADING jockey Craig Williams says he will hold Dunaden in higher regard than three-time Melbourne Cup champion Makybe Diva if the French raider can carry his hefty weight to back-to-back Melbourne Cups at Flemington today.

Williams is confident Dunaden can give him his first Melbourne Cup and defy history by becoming the first overseas-trained stayer to win the race with more than 56 kilograms.

Dunaden, who will lump 59 kilograms today, must set a modern weight-carrying record to defend his crown.

Think Big won the second of his Cups with 58.5 kilograms in 1975, while champion mare Makybe Diva lumped 58 kilograms when she won her third straight Cup in 2005.

''In my eyes, it would put him above Makybe … in my eyes,'' Williamsfigure would jump closer to Makybe Diva's benchmark if he claims the lion's share of the $6 million purse today.

The man who steered Makybe Diva to those Melbourne Cups, champion jockey Glen Boss, will be aiming for his fourth Melbourne Cup victory when he rides Lexus Stakes winner Kelinni.

He was quick to defend Makybe Diva and shoot down any comparison between Dunaden and Makybe Diva. ''Nothing is as special as Makybe,'' he said on Monday.

Boss said he not only wanted to join legendary jockeys Bobby Lewis and Harry White as four-time Melbourne Cup winners, but surpass them. ''If I can win tomorrow, and then pull out another win before my time is up, then that will give me the record for the most Melbourne Cups won by a


plenty of action on Monday, and the focus was English stayer Mount Athos. The Luca Cumani-trained stayer was the medium of a sustained plunge and he now shares the top line of betting with Americain and Dunaden.

"We've written more tickets on Mount Athos today than any other runner in the race and the volume has been enormous," Sportingbet Australia's chief executive Michael Sullivan said.

"Of the three equal favourites, Mount Athos is the most likely to start favourite tomorrow if this late money is any indication."not looking to get less. We want more.”

The stakes are high not just for the communities but for the three defense contractors. The industry is coping with the automatic federal budget cuts, known as sequestration, imposed by a 2011 law.

The bomber contract has set off a fierce lobbying battle between Northrop and the Boeing-Lockheed team.

In a rare move for a defense company, Northrop paid for an ad touting its stealthy aircraft during this month’s Super Bowl. The ad, which ended with a shot of a plane veiled in a sheet, appeared only in Washington, D.C., and Dayton, Ohio, the home of top Air Force acquisition officials.

Additionally, the Treasury Department designated the service under a section of the Patriot Act that targets money-laundering operations. The designation allows the department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) to propose prohibiting American financial institutions from interacting with Liberty Reserve.

Liberty Reserve is the first virtual currency provider to be designated under the Patriot Act provision.

The service has more than one million users, the government alleges, including more than 200,000 in the U.S.

ROBERT MARS

Robert Mars’ artwork chronicles an evolving fascination with the Golden Age of American popular culture and celebrates the icons of the 1950’s and 60’s by taking inspiration from this culture long past. Through the application of a rich color palette and tongue-in-cheek attitude, Mars’ paintings evoke a vintage quality of design and pay homage to the idealized age of growth and hopefulness that was prevalent in the USA at the end of the Depression. A time before the internet and mobile technology, where information was not instantly available to millions and there was no such thing as instant internet celebrities, and instead people lived with the myth of the unique, untouchable and unforgettable personalities.Julian Zelizer, who joined the University faculty in July as a professor of history and public affairs, is among a new generation of scholars revitalizing the field of political history by blending the study of politics and policy with social and cultural analysis. His diverse political knowledge has led him to become a frequent commentator in the media. Appearing in the media has helped Zelizer learn how to communicate complex ideas to a broad audience -- a skill he says has greatly improved his teaching.

Below left: Zelizer, and his mother, Viviana, the Lloyd Cotsen '50 Professor of Sociology, believe they are the University's first mother-son teaching pair. Growing up, Zelizer said he learned about the "excitement and challenges" of working at a university through his mother and developed


by combining research on politics and policy with social and cultural studies.

"One of the reasons why Julian is an important addition to the Wilson School is that he is one of the very few political historians whose work is as well known and highly regarded among political scientists as it is among historians," McCarty said.

Bruce Schulman, a professor of history at Boston University, credited Zelizer with helping to substantially reshape the study of 20th-century U.S. history.

"His research has proved influential in political science and sociology, as well as history," said Schulman, who had Zelizer as a colleague at Boston University from 2004 to 2007. "It is no exaggeration to say that by having Julian Zelizer join the faculty, Princeton has immediately become the leading center in modern Americanpolitical history."

Family history

In addition to benefiting from interdisciplinary collaborations, coming to Princeton has enabled Zelizer to embrace his family roots by working at the same University as his mother, Viviana, the Lloyd Cotsen '50 Professor of Sociology.

"It's nice to teach at the same institution as a parent; it doesn't happen very often," said Zelizer, who believes he and his mom are the University's first mother-son teaching pair. "Given how small Princeton is, we already have many connections of similar friends."

Zelizer now lives near the New Jersey town where he was raised, Metuchen, and the synagogue where his father, Gerald, has been a rabbi for more than 30 years.

His love of study and scholarship was instilled by his mother and father at an early age.

"Both my parents contributed to
