logged very many minutes at the collegiate level. Entering Duke as a prized recruit out of Reno, Nevada, the native of Poland played sparse minutes during a little over a year at Durham before transferring back to Reno, this time as a member of the Nevada Wolf Pack.

The transfer away from Duke cost Czyz all but 6 games of his sophomore year and required him to sit out the first semester of his junior year at Nevada. This has left the incoming senior not having played a full season of college basketball yet and with much to prove, much like his underachieving Nevada team.

Czyz stands 6'7” and is a very good run and jump athlete, playing primarily as a face-up power forward at Nevada, which has allowed himto become an extremely efficient inside-outside threat at the collegiate level. Not being an especially prolific shooter in high school, Czyz's form and consistency has improved immensely, to the point where his 1.294 points per possession on jump shots was among the top 3 percent in college basketball last year according to Synergy Sports Technology. While not getting tremendous elevation in his release, Czyz shows a consistent, repeatable release with good balance and follow through. Czyz converted an astounding 48.9% of his catch and shoot opportunities last year, a skill set that would translate well to the next level as his role changes.

While not a high volume post player, Czyz does offer some ability down there when the matchup is advantageous. He primarily operates over his right shoulder,


with a combination of left handed hooks and drives that may catch some defenders off, as Czyz is right handed. His footwork in the post also appears to be improving, as he's showing some spins, up and under, and counter moves that have expanded his post repertoire.

To effectively make the conversion to the small forward position, Czyz would benefit from improving his ball-handling ability. He's capable of getting to the hoop on straight line lives, and is a good leaper, but doesn't offer much in the way of advanced ball handling moves on the perimeter, and can be turnover prone when asked to do too much. He's once again left handed dominant, preferring to drive and finish with his left hand. His touch around the hoop isn't stellar,big man on the floor most every night in the MEAC, and he's able to dominate in the paint on both ends regardless of how much effort he puts forth.

Offensively, O'Quinn does much of his damage in the post, converting an efficient 63% of his 2-point attempts, displaying a nice array of moves and a fairly polished skill set in one on one situations. Where he gets himself into trouble is when the defense collapses on him, He draws so much attention from opposing teams' defenses, but he lacks the awareness and passing ability out of the post, showing that his feel for the game is still a work in a progress.

O'Quinn has shown the ability to step out on the perimeter as well, but his shot selection


was horrific at times last season, far too often settling for long range jumpers. He connected on a poor 25% of his jump shots as a junior, and only 24% of his 3-pointers, attempting two per game. He has a decent stroke, as shown by the fact that he shot a solid 76% from the free throw line, but most of his jumpers seem to be a result of boredom or out of frustration if he doesn't touch the ball for a few possessions. He can turn his shooting ability into an asset, but he'll need to get much better at recognizing what is a good shot.

On the defensive end, O'Quinn is an enforcer in the paint, and was named Defensive Player of the Year in the MEAClast season. Being the most physically gifted big man on the floor most every night, he's able to block or alter shots in the paint as a help defender and clean up on the defensive boards. He's also able to get away with not always fighting for positioning and playing good fundamental defense at a lower level of competition, but he'll likely need to make some serious adjustments against NBA caliber players, and show a much higher level of focus and toughness.

Overall, O'Quinn has good size and a versatile skill set for a player his size, and has shown to be very productive at the college level, albeit in a weak conference. A dominating senior season might help to boost his stock, but he tends to coast at

Emma-Jane Cross, Beatbullying

Emma-Jane Cross, chief executive of the charity Beatbullying, rejected the idea of closing down websites.

She said: "Calls for social networking sites like YouTube to be closed because of cyberbullying are as intelligent as calls for schools to be closed because of bullying.

"Cyberbullying is flourishing for two reasons. First, society isBush, who offers a continuation of mainstream, big business-oriented Republicanism identified mostly with his father, but also, to a lesser extent, his sometimes less predictable brother, George W. Bush.

In 2008, people knew something was radically wrong with how the hegemons were steering the economy, and nominated both a relative outsider, Barack Obama, and a sometimes unpredictable John McCain, never Wall Street’s favorite. In that election, in fact, Obama out-raised McCain on Wall Street, leading one New York Times reporter to annoint him as primary beneficiary of “the hedge fund factor.” The fact that Obama was likely to win the election, and was brilliantly vague about his plans, made him ever more attractive.

Obama and the Populist Threat

In his first six years in office, President Obama has performed well for


those who wrote those checks. He brought in Wall Street insiders such as Timothy Geithner and Larry Summers to concoct his economic policy, which brought a recovery to the financial plutocracy before virtually anyone else. Wall Street was back by 2009; the rest of us have had to wait for 2015.

Obama and the Democrats in Congress also handed the big banks a nice gift in the form of the Dodd-Frank Bill which helped them achieve that “too big to fail” status and has accelerated the growing consolidation of the American financial system. Indeed, since Dodd-Frank was passed smaller banks’ share of banking assets has dropped twice as quickly as before, notes a recent Harvard Kennedy School of Government study. Smaller and community banks – historically more likely toloan to small businesses – have seen a 50 percent drop in their share of lending while the the five largest banks now control over 40 percent of lending, twice their share 20 years ago.

The big banks were saved as well by Attorney General Eric Holder’s decision not to engage in tough prosecutions of Wall Street’s biggest malefactors, in part, he explained, due to their enormous size.

Essentially, he has argued the giant banks, nurtured by the government, are too big to not only fail but see their executives placed in the docket.

To be sure, President Obama’s occasional populist rhetoric did offend many on Wall Street, which in 2012 shifted much of its support to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who, after all, was one of their own. Obama

Hillary to the rescue

This big city-led conflagration potentially could threaten corporate domination of the Democratic Party. But Hillary Clinton could save their day and preserve their bacon. Wall Street, and large corporations, seemed thrilled with the rise of the former secretary of state and senator as the de facto Democratic standard-bearer. Like Obama, Clinton may keep emotional links to the progressive left, but her long career – particularly as senator from New York – has also turned her into a reliable ally of Wall Street. She can count upon support from such figures as Goldman Sachs chief Lloyd Blankfein and Blackrock head Larry Fink, notes the New York Post.

This corporate influence is palpable in the workings of the Clinton Foundation, which has evolved intointerests, including foreign governments such as the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Australia, Germany and a Canadian government agency promoting the Keystone XL pipeline.

The triumph of crony capitalism

A majority of Americans now believe that government primarily serves the interests of the well-connected and the rich. This perception holds even more when asked about Republicans. Despite populist talk, largely from the Tea Party wing, Mitch McConnell and John Boehner raise money in much the same way as Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi – from powerful, connected interests who want to steer government in directions favorable to them. They simply raise their funds from different industries – entertainment, tech and law firms for the Democrats; fossil fuel oil, insurance and home building for the Republicans.

London's Hackney council removes illegal Haredi modesty posters

Posters warning women they should only walk on one side of the road have been taken down after they sparked a backlash.

The notices, which were put up along streets in Stamford Hill, were removed after residents complained to Hackney Council.

Written in both English and Hebrew, they read: "Women should please walk along this side of the road only".

Just one little correction: the posterswere written in Yiddish, which is similar, but still has differences to Hebrew.

The Shomrim group, whose Jewish volunteers support policing in the area, said they were put up by an orthodox Jewish group for a religious parade this week.

People from the religious sect are prohibited from touching members of the opposite sex unless they are married or closely related to them.

A custom that's incredibly laughable and there's no guarantee all members will actually follow it.

Stamford Hill West councillor Rosemary Sales described the posters as "unacceptable" and said they had been removed.

She told the Standard: "Several residents in my ward in Stamford Hill have drawn these posters to my attention.

"It is of course quite unacceptable to try to restrict women's movements in a public place and council officers removed


with an electric generator to act as a dynamo brake in order to inhibit backlash. At a predetermined time interval after the start of a cast, an electrical load is placed across the generator by means of an electronic switch; the generator remains loaded for a predetermined period of time then the electrical load is switched off, and the spool coasts until it is stopped by the fisherman's thumb. The generator preferably is a small permanent magnet generator attached to the spool spindle. The magnitude of the current generated increases as the speed of rotation of the controlled body increases in the permanent magnetic field. The generator converts Kinetic energy of rotation into electrical energy when an electrical load is placed across the generator.

Kosmikon

Kosmikon (Κοσμικόν) : Since 1961 when the first shop opened in Agios Nikolaos suburb, this has been considered by many the best galaktoboureko in Athens. Back in the 1980s you could wait almost an hour in line in order to buy it. The phyllo is always crunchy, the cream smells fresh milk butter and the syrup is made with a secret recipe without lemon. Nowadays Kosmikon has four locations around Athens. (Leoforos Ionias 104, Agios Nikolaos & 3 more locations)

Galyfianakis (Γαλυφιανάκης) : Another traditional place to buy galaktoboureko, with a history that started back in the 1970s. Galyfianakis was one of the first pastry shops specialized in the making of galaktoboureko and for many


(Μαστρονικόλας) : This one is the most famous galaktoboureko in Piraeus. It started as a diary store in 1909 and still operates in the hands of the same family. They use milk from their own farms and much attention is put on the quality of all the products they use. The cream has perfect texture and strong milky taste. The phyllo does not have many layers but it is crunchy and the syrup is balanced. They make also very good galaktoboureko with kataifi. (Karaoli and Dimitriou 68 & Karpathou 74, Piraeus)

Mpigiakis (Μπιγιάκης) : With a family tradition of almost 40 years in galaktoboureko, they sure know how to make it. They always use fresh products which give to their galaktoboureko a characteristic creamy taste. The phyllo is notalways crunchy but the have one of the best syrups. It has perfect texture and it is not very sweet. It is probably the favourite galaktoboureko of the western suburbs of the city, where their first shop opened in 1999. (Monemvasias 17, Peristeri & 3 more locations)

Afoi Asimakopouloi (Αφοι Ασημακόπουλοι) : This place is one of the oldest surviving and historical pastry shops in Athens. It has been standing at the same spot since 1915 and has kept its good reputation since then. It is well known for its creams, therefore it is easy to understand why they makes a very tasty and quality galaktoboureko. The cream is rich and smells of fresh milk butter (which they produce), while the phyllo is usually crunchy and not very syropy.


(Charilaou Trikoupi 82, Athens)

Koutras

Koutras (Κούτρας) : On one of the main streets of Nea Smyrni, this pastry stop seems stuck in the past. It opened in 1958 and since then few things have changed in the decoration of the place, as well as in the production of its products, especially galaktoboureko. The cream has a balanced taste, the syrup has perfect texture with a light scent of cinnamon, while the phyllo is always crunchy and very tasty. People from every corner of the city come to this small pastry shop to taste its unique galaktoboureko. (Eletheriou Venizelou 165, Nea Smyrni)

Pavlidis (Παυλίδης) : The origins of Pavlidis family in Mikra Asia is evident in their deep knowledge of making traditional sweets and especially galaktoboureko. Pavlidis opened his first shopin 1946 and in 1957 its second shop on Katechaki street, which is the one that still operates. The secret recipe of the family has been perfected through the years and it is based on the excellent quality of ingredients. Their galaktoboureko has smooth cream with strong butter flavour, very good syrup and always crunchy phyllo. (Katechaki 59, Neo Psychiko)

Athinaiko – Triantafyllou (Αθηναϊκό – Τριανταφύλλου) : Although quite new (it opened in 2016) this shop has already a very good reputation not only in Pagrati but all over town as well . It has an open workshop, where you can see the preparation of their products and their signature sweet is galaktoboureko. They use only Greek products and for the cream fresh milk butter. The phyllo is not

From it's humble beginnings as a North American version of the Toyota Celica XX, to it's supercar status in the late 1990's, every detail of the Supra's development is painstakingly documented.

Each essay in the book explored an issue in our state: poverty and homelessness, among others. The authors were local scholars and pundits, people like Tom Coffman, Sumner La Croix and Ian Lind.

I first read the book as an earnest 19-year-old, sympathizing with the authors as they gestured toward large problems and possible solutions.

The authors were insistent, almost polemic in their writing. But they were also scholarly, so they supported their righteousness with statistics and footnotes. Throughout their essays, the authors called for action.

The brothers then looked for a location with a fast, steady wind for their next series of tests and settled on Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, far from their home in Dayton, Ohio. For free gliding, they also made use of Kill Devil Hills, a set of sand dunes up to 100 feet high just 4 miles to the south of the town of Kitty Hawk.

Perhaps the highlight of this was the first flight ever of a complete circle by a manned heavier-than-air powered flying machine. 1905 brought the Wright Flyer III with more improvements, including enlarging the elevator and tail and moving them further from the wings.

Ciudad Real: easy victory against Kolding

The Spanish team proved right from the beginning that they play at a higher level than the Danish club. In fact, the Danes have also lost some important players from last season. Obe of them, Hjermind, was playing exactly against them and was protagonist of a great performance by Ciudad Real.

Pajovic, Urios and Entrerrios could not play for different injuries, but new players stepped on court in the Spanish Champion. Laen, Hjermind, Roberto Garcia and Chema Rodriguez showed why they are in Ciudad Real.

Promising new players

Torsten Laen made a good job in defence and scored six goals with only one mistaken shot. Perhaps was the best surprise for Spanish fans.

Kolding tried to control of the score in the first minutes, but Ciudad Realtook a big lead and kept it until the final of the match (38-23). Dujshebaiev’s team fought well every minute of the game without thinking about the difference seen on the court. The Spanish coach gave some minutes to all the players, but did not allow the players to lay back.

Sterbik in form

The best performance was probably shown by the Ciudad Real goalkeepers. Hombrados saved at his usual level and this helped a lot in the victory. Sterbik saved in the second half and it was a real show. The match was already decided and the local defence was not so strong, but it was no problem for the Serbian goalkeeper. Sterbik made 17 saves, some of them very spectacular. It all suggests that Sterbik is in top


in a case brought by the insurer in
Walworth County, Wisconsin, a case in which
counterclaims were filed, including one for
breach of the contract.

  The Lake Geneva Sugar Shack, Inc. is a
Wisconsin corporation that operated the Sugar
Shack nightclub in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Dana
Montana was the sole shareholder and principal
officer of the corporation. The Sugar Shack
purchased insurance from General Star in July
1989. In February 1990 a fire substantially
damaged the building, and within 24 hours GenStar
announced that it intended to deny coverage
because it concluded that Montana was somehow
involved in starting the fire. GenStar suspected
that Montana had a financial motive to burn the
building and it ordered a financial background
check, which confirmed that the building was
mortgaged and that the mortgage was cross-
collateralized with other properties, including
Montana’s home. As a result of GenStar’s advising
themortgage company that Montana set the fire,
Montana lost a refinancing of her properties
which had been approved. The building was
demolished and the mortgagee foreclosed on her
other properties, which were worth $3.327
million.

  But GenStar did not formally deny coverage
until after 11 months of investigation. During

Ocean City had one seriously scary tourist visit this weekend: a tiger shark.

The 12-foot long, half-ton female had been nicknamed Septima by scientists with the nonprofit shark research organization OCEARCH. The shark was tagged on its dorsal fin May 30 in South Carolina and had traveled thousands of miles along the East Coast since then.

Tiger sharks get their name from the stripes on their body, and are predators of all kinds of marine life. They can grow to 15 feet long, and typically swim in deeper water, but have been known to follow prey into shallow depths.

When a tagged shark breaks the surface of the water long enough for the tag to connect with a satellite, it sets off a "ping" and tells scientists the shark's location,


yet. There's no "Jaws" situation happening in Ocean City. Lifeguards had no encounters with the shark, and had only heard of its visit after the fact based on media reports, said Beach Patrol Capt. Butch Arbin.

Arbin did say, historically, small sand sharks will appear on the beach, but they present no danger to swimmers. Back when Ocean City had rock jetties, Arbin recalled seeing small sharks swimming around the rocks, "but they're not the baby sharks of Jaws," he added.The Russian diplomat finds this situation "very alarming"

MOSCOW, September 25. /TASS/. The US actions near Syria’s Deir ez-Zor show that Washington regards geopolitical goals as more important that the proclaimed war on terror, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov told reporters on Monday.

"The fact is obvious, unfortunately, and it is very alarming," the diplomat said.

"We’ve seen for ourselves again that, while proclaiming its interest in liquidating the IS (Islamic State), a terrorist organization outlawed in Russia, and in defeating terrorists in Syria, the American side actually testified otherwise by some of its actions, namely, that some political and geopolitical tasks are more important to Washington."

MADISON (WKOW) — More than $10,000 in stolen jewelry and merchandise has been recovered after being submerged for months under a Madison creek.

The City of Madison Burglary Crimes Unit and City of Madison Engineers recovered the merchandise Tuesday from Starkweather Creek that had been stolen Jan. 28 from Burnie’s Rock Shop.

The items were inside a bag under four feet of water and mud, according to a city of Madison news release.

The suspect, Richard Lynch, told investigators that he had left the bag in a sewer outlet near a bridge over the creek.

Detective Tracie Jokala initially checked the site, but with the water high she enlisted the help of the city engineering department.

Beck's city-issued SUV was involved in the collision with up to five other vehicles, officials said.

One person was taken to Simi Valley Hospital with unknown injuries.

"I'm okay and thankful the others are not seriously injured. Thanks for checking on me. I'll be back to work tomorrow," Beck said in a tweet.

crew and their loyal fans unleashed a Twitter stream of anti-Catholic invective that cannot be repeated here. Suffice it to say, it was disgusting and completely unoriginal. Many of the tradinistas expressed displeasure with the anti-Catholicism, but some maintained the Chapo crew were still an important ally in the fight against liberalism. The controversy died down after a while and was largely forgotten.

On September 25, the Chapo crew released a podcast episode in which they put a blown-up picture of Walther on the wall and proceeded to mock Walther and other Catholics. At this point many Catholics decided to have what became a fairly public debate on Twitter. I argued, along with others, that the Chapo crew was indefensible. I must say, it was a short argument, illustratedwould be 40 feet long and 29 feet wide, with a 13 foot driveway instead of a 11 foot driveway, as provided for by the original plans. Prior to the commencement of the work the plaintiff and the defendant discussed the effect of the extra 2 feet in the width of the building and the matter of compensating for the increased width in connection with the general plans for it. The structure was completed late in July, 1951. Although there was some complaint to the defendant about matters other than those which were the basis of the suit the plaintiff paid the defendant for his services and those of his employees on November 8, 1951. At that time the plaintiff made no comment relative to the manner in


which the building had been constructed, the length of the rafters, and the place and elevation of the chutes.
During November 1951 the plaintiff began the hauling of the crop of corn for that year to the bins. Trouble developed, however, in getting the corn to slide down the chutes and in particular to the bins at the end of the building. At that time it was observed by the plaintiff the cribs did not appear to hold as many bushels of corn as was contemplated. Later the plaintiff measured the attic height and it was discovered there was only 6 feet of attic space while the plans called for 7 feet of such space. This seven foot height was necessary for the chutes to function properly. It wasalso observed the lower rafters of the hip-roof were 12 feet 7 inches in length while the plans called for rafters 14 feet in length. This shortening of the rafter length resulted in a loss of bin capacity of 800 bushels of corn and a loss of 300 bushels in the cribs or a total loss of capacity in the building of 1100 bushels of corn.
There is some evidence that before the rafters were erected, the length of which is complained of, the plaintiff and the defendant and a foreman for the defendant discussed the pitch of the roof and the necessary length of the rafters. There was some experimentation on the ground relative to the proposed pitch of the roof and the necessary length of the rafters.


The defendant maintains that at no time did the plaintiff complain to him of any defects in the construction and the first he knew of any objections was when he received a letter from the plaintiff's attorney.
The plaintiff claims as a basis for his action in damages (1) the completed building had a 6 foot attic instead of a 7 foot attic as provided for in the plans and specifications; (2) unnecessary lumber was put into the building by the defendant; (3) the shortening of the length of the lower rafters of the hip-roof from 14 feet to 12 feet 7 inches and the upper rafters from 10 feet to 9 feet 9 inches resulted in the capacity of the cribs being lessened by 1100 bushels.

After 5 min, larvae were transferred to a fresh Petri dish in which they were allowed to crawl on pure agarose medium for 5 min this time being simultaneously exposed to OCT (OCT). A second group of larvae received the reciprocal training (OCT+, AM). After three training cycles, larvae were transferred onto test plates on which AM and OCT were presented on opposite sides. After 3 min, individuals were counted on the AM side (\#AM), the OCT side (\#OCT), and the neutral zone on plates containing agarose and quinine solutions. A preference index for each training group was calculated by


device, and even if it had been in working condition, it was on the far side of the school where there was no glass.

The first break in the case came when investigators were able to trace that 911 to a cell phone that had once been owned by Edwards, said Hyche and Bridges. The 911 call was actually placed by Edwards, who disguised his voice to try to sound like a woman.

Also, the timer - a stopwatch - used on the device was determined to have been sold at Walmart, and Hyche said investigators then analyzed all 18 recent buyers in the area. They quickly eliminated those that would have a legitimate reason for needing a timer - like a track coach - that ultimately led them toarea,'' Hyche said. "He wanted everybody in one place so he could kill cops. He made it clear to our guys he wanted to commit acts of violence. This arrest probably did stop something bad from happening."

He discussed starting a race war, but authorities didn't elaborate on what he said.

The device - which was disabled in nearby woods - did contain gun powder. "It was painstakingly put together and it also had most of what you need to make a bomb,'' Hyche said. He said, however, that there was no way the device could have detonated, but he didn't elaborate.

Hyche said numerous tips came in to the ATF tip line, many of which named Edwards as the person who left the device. "It was someone that knew him,

Nikolai Petrovich never complained about his health. Recently it became clear that Leonid Agutin and Angelika Varum secretly went to Israel to do emergency surgery on the father of the artist, reports Starhit.

The bomb threat was just a hoax, but officials at Hebron High School near Dallas took no chances: School officials called the police and locked down the school this week. Separately, a middle school 2,000 miles away in Washington State went on lockdown after a student brought a toy gun to class.

But the threat and the gun were real at Berrendo Middle School in Roswell, N.M., where a seventh grader with a sawed-off shotgun walked into the gymnasium and opened fire on his classmates on Tuesday, wounding two of them. School officials and teachers, who had long prepared for such a moment, locked down the school as police officers and parents rushed to the scene.

For students across the country, lockdowns have become a fixture of the school day,the duck-and-cover drills for a generation growing up in the shadow of Columbine High School in Colorado and Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. Kindergartners learn to hide quietly behind bookshelves. Teachers warn high school students that the glow of their cellphones could make them targets. And parents get regular text messages from school officials alerting them to lockdowns.

School administrators across the country have worked with police departments in recent years to create detailed plans to secure their schools, an effort that was redoubled after the December 2012 shootings in Newtown, Conn. At the whiff of a threat, teachers are now instructed to snap off the lights, lock their doors and usher their students into corners and closets. School officials call the police.

MOBILE, Alabama -- UAB center Lee Dufour told AL.com on Sunday that he has received a scholarship offer from South Alabama and it is his intention to enroll at the school in January and join the Jaguars' football team.

Along with several of his UAB teammates, Dufour made an official visit to South Alabama over the weekend and informed the Jags' coaching staff on Sunday he would be accepting their offer.

"I went to Saraland so South Alabama is right here in my


backyard,'' Dufour, a 6-foot-3, 285-pounder, said. "My offensive coordinator for UAB (Bryant Vincent, now OC for the Jags) returned to South Alabama so I know the offense. ... It's good to be back home. I know where everything is in Mobile and my family and friends are here and those are all big factors in deciding to come here.''

Dufour, a true freshman from Saraland this past season, had intended to redshirt this season, his first with the Blazers. But an injury to fifth-year senior starter Brian O'Leary in the 10th game of the year led to Dufour playing in the Blazers' final three games -- completing the Louisiana Tech game (10th game of year) and earning starting assignments in UAB's final two games of the season against Marshalland Southern Miss.

"I was kind of angry at the time because I wanted to redshirt and still have four years (of eligibility) but it also has been a blessing because (other) colleges didn't have any game film on me, so it kind of helped me out in this whole process,'' he said. "Colleges have been able to see what I can do and they based my performance off that.''

Along with South Alabama, Dufour said he was recruited by Southern Miss, Troy, Utah State, South Florida and Georgia Southern all recruited him once UAB president Ray Watts announced he was disbanding the Blazers' football program, allowing UAB players to look for other schools at which to continue their football careers and education.

Just a year removed from going through the


eligibility remaining to find themselves being recruited once again. Dufour was one of a group of UAB players that visited South Alabama over the weekend and he said he expects some other UAB players will join him at South Alabama.

"I feel pretty confident some of them will come,'' he said.Rescuer: We Needed Swimmers To Save 3 Lives

July 27, 1985|By Leslie Kemp of The Sentinel Staff

SANFORD — When a boy said his brother was drowning in the Wekiva River Thursday evening, Rita Shively went to help.

She drove her car to the riverfront at the campground where she lives and dived off a seawall into the dark water. The 120-pound woman pulled a floundering Pennsylvania man twice her size to safety but was too late to rescue his two teen-age children and her friend, a campground employee who died trying to save the youths.

Shively, 34, reflected Friday on the accident that killed three people at Katie's Wekiva River Landing on Wekiva Park Drive west of Sanford.

''You do what you can and I wish I could have done a lot


more,'' she said. ''A friend had died, a father of nine was saved and two nearly grown children sleep. There were just not enough people who could swim when we needed them.'' Autopsies conducted Friday showed the three drowned, said Seminole County sheriff's spokesman John Spolski. They were identified as Karen E. Daniels, 16, and Ezel Daniels Jr., 17, both of Philadelphia, and Edward Priestner, 25, of Sanford Landings Apartments, Sanford.

Sheriff's officials credit Shively with rescuing the children's father, Ezel Daniels Sr. She also pulled Priestner's body from the river, but efforts by bystanders, a deputy sheriff and firefighters to revive him failed.

Spolski said the accident occurred at 5:30 p.m. as Karen sat on her brother's shoulders and he waded in the river. Neither could swim. Ezel Jr.stepped into a hole and they submerged. Their father, who also could not swim, jumped into the river and their mother, Ethel, alerted camp residents.

The family, which included seven other children, had been vacationing at the campground for four days, Spolski said.

Priestner ran to the riverfront, took off his shoes and jumped in to help. About that time Shively, who was driving out of the park, learned of the accident and hurried to the scene.

Shively said Priestner could not swim but one park employee called him an ''excellent swimmer.''

''I pulled the car to the river and ran jumping off the seawall to help,'' Shively said. ''There was a man Priestner surfacing for air -- he looked okay -- ahead 15 yards were two the father and son floundering


in the water. I swam to the closest one Ezel Sr. who was bobbing under and told him to lay back and float.''

The man complied. As Shively pulled him to shore, she looked for Priestner, but ''he was gone.'' She told a park employee to get Priestner, but the man said he could not swim.

Shively then dove for Priestner and pulled him to the surface. A park employee pulled them to shore and two bystanders tried to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, she said. Others pulled Karen's body onto the shore. Ezel Jr.'s body was recovered an hour later by Russell Moncrief, who owns the park with his wife, Katie.

Deputy James Virgin, 42, arrived within five minutes, Shively said. He started CPR on Priestner and instructed two bystanders to doThere is clearly a war going on within the Sangh Parivar in Goa, replicating a kind of situation that was seen in Gujarat ahead of the 2012 assembly elections.

Sangh Parivar's ideological fountainhead Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh very late on Wednesday took to Twitter to issue a clarification on the Subhash Velingkar issue which was fast turning out as a public bickering between the BJP and RSS in Goa.

The RSS tweeted that state unit chief Subhash Velingkar has only been relieved from the organisational post and not from any other responsibilities that he might be holding as a Swayamsewak of the Hindutava outfit.

Along with the tweet, there is also a statement by Manmohan Vaidya, Akhil Bharatiya Prachar Pramukh of the RSS, which was posted for additional clarity. However, while his


After all, the party had distinction of winning a clear majority (winning 21 out of 28 seats it contested) on its own in 40-member state Assembly in 2012. This happened in a state whose one-third population is minority Christian. The BJP for long boasted this achievement to claim that it could not be perceived as a anti-minority party. Parrikar still has that big feather in his hat although he has now moved to the Central government.

When Modi was anointed to be the lead 2014 parliamentary poll campaigner, the BJP chose Goa to be the place. Earlier, it was here that he had survived the onslaught of his rivals within the BJP and those in the NDA. When Modi had to look for talent outside the existing bench strengthovert or covert, by a section of it or by the outfit to make its presence felt by floating a regional party in a state has so far failed badly. Take for instance, the RSS floating a political outfit Jammu State Morcha in 2002 with the purpose of contesting elections to seek trifurcation of the state of Jammu and Kashmir into Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh against the wishes of Atal Bihari Vajpayee and rest of the BJP.

In 2012, RSS stalwarts in Gujarat openly supported Keshubhai Patel's outfit Gujarat Parivatran Party with the stated objective to overthrow Narendra Modi's regime. The result and subsequent turn of events are known to everyone.


Around 4,000 Burmese civilians have been stopped from seeking shelter in neighbouring China by Chinese soldiers after they attempted to flee local fighting, a non-governmental organisation said.

The incident occurred in the country's northern Kachin State on Wednesday, where fighting between the Burmese military and an ethnic armed group has displaced 23,000 people since the outbreak of the conflict several weeks ago, campaign group Fortify Rights said.

"China should provide asylum seekers with sanctuary, not send them into the line of fire," said Matthew Smith, chief executive officer of Fortify Rights.

The organisation also said that Myanmar authorities were restricting humanitarian aid groups from operating in the affected region.

The restrictions were resulting in "avoidable deprivations of food, healthcare, and other humanitarian provisions for displaced communities," Fortify Rights said.

Kachin State has beenbeset by a conflict since 2011 when government troops broke a 17-year-old ceasefire agreement with the Kachin Independence Army (KIA). More than 100,000 civilians have been displaced since.

Elsewhere in Myanmar, fighting between the military and an ethnic rebel group, Ta'ang National Liberation Army (TNLA), has intensified and the two sides traded blame on Friday over heavy shelling that killed two civilians in an area near the country's northeastern border with China.

IN PICTURES: Displaced in Shan state

The office of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces said TNLA fired heavy weapons at a military outpost in Namhsan Township of Shan State on Thursday, but four stray shells landed in Ho Chaung village around three kilometres away from the outpost.

"Two residents were killed and eight villagers, including three women, injured because


of the strayed weapon shells," the statement said.

The dead included a seven-year-old boy who the statement said was injured while playing outside his house and died on the way to hospital.

The rebel group, however, said the shells were fired by the Myanmar army as the ethnic people of the region gathered to celebrate Ta'ang Revolution Day on January 12.

TNLA spokesperson Ta Aik Kyaw told Anadolu Agency that the group attacked the army bases in retaliation for recent assaults on their outposts in the area.

The TNLA and other groups jointly attacked police stations, military outposts and a trade zone in Shan's Muse Township in November.

Several rebel groups had refused to sign the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA), a peace deal between Myanmar's previous quasi-civilian government and eight rebels groups inOctober 2015.

State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, the de facto leader of the country's first civilian government in more than 50 years, has been calling on rebel groups to join an ongoing peace process by signing the NCA as her administration prepares to hold a second meeting with armed ethnic groups later this month.

On Friday, New York-based Human Right Watch (HRW) said the government has failed to hold the military accountable for persistent human rights violations throughout the country.

In its World Report, HRW said Myanmar's new civilian government has done little to address the military's brutal crackdown on ethnic Rohingya Muslims in western Rakhine State and other abuses against civilians, or to reform laws limiting freedom of expression

In colonial America, many of the few who owned handguns had to rely on flintlock pistols which employed a simple ignition system. By the American Civil War, revolvers by the likes of Colt, Remington, Derringer, and Repeating Arms were de riguer.

Ellyse Perry suffered a hamstring injury in the game against New Zealand and has been ruled out of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2020. Perry was a doubtful starter for the game because of a troublesome hip but did play the contest which Australia won to seal a spot in the semifinal.

"Ellyse sustained a high-grade right hamstring injury that is expected to keep her out of the game for a significant period of time," team doctor Pip Inge said. "We are currently exploring management options and will continue to support Ellyse through her recovery."

The injury occurred whenPerry fielded the ball at mid-off and tried to run out Sophie Devine as she threw off-balance. She immediately went down and was forced to leave the field. The hosts have decided not to have a replacement for the all-rounder. "Ellyse is a key member of our squad and has been for a long period of time and on a personal level we're disappointed that she won't have the opportunity to finish the tournament," head coach Matthew Mott said.

"She gives her absolute all every time she takes to the field for her country and that was evident again against New Zealand in the selfless manner in which she threw herself into her batting, bowling and fielding performances.

Islamic State fighters shot and wounded fleeing family members trying to escape from its besieged enclave in Syria, according to a coalition commander, as Kurdish forces continued to tighten the noose on the remaining extremists.

The battle to recapture the group’s last speck of territory is now only days from completion, Kurdish commanders said, with perhaps several hundred hardcore members dug into the centre of Baghuz village, a hamlet on the banks of the river Euphrates.

A coalition military official said Isis had fired on the wives of fighters as they attempted to flee on Wednesday. Those “arriving to be screened are the wives of Isis fighters, some of whom sustained gunshot wounds while fleeing from Isis”,

Foreign fighters and families feature prominently among those who have fled Baghuz. The town had been a collection point for extremists who had fled other towns and villages across Syria and Iraq and is thought to be the last redoubt of zealots who had fought in numerous clashes across both countries.

On Thursday Shamima Begum, 19, one of three east London schoolgirls who left the UK in 2015 to join Isis, was discovered in the al-Hawl refugee camp in north-east Syria after fleeing the enclave.

Men and women who fled Baghuz during the week said French fighters featured prominently among the group’s rearguard, as did Iraqis.

“We stayed until we could find a window, then we took it,” she said.

Russians, families from central Asia, Ukrainians and Canadians were among those to have fled the town during the week, underscoring the global scope of the organisation. Thousands more family members have been housed in a nearby camp, where children born to fighters are now being cared for by their mothers as the international community grapples with what to do with them.

Foreign fighters are housed in a separate camp and it is understood that those who surrendered from Baghuz will join them in the north-east of the country, where hundreds of foreign extremists are being held.

What is the Kentucky Oaks? Here's a description from kentuckyderby.com:

The Longines Kentucky Oaks is America's premier and most lucrative race for 3-year old fillies - female horses - held each year on the day before the Kentucky Derby. This feature race is a $1 Million Grade 1 stakes race and awards the winning filly a garland of lilies, appropriately named "lilies for the fillies." Like the Kentucky Derby, the Longines Kentucky Oaks race is one of the longest continually held sporting events in American history, and one of the only horse races to take place at the original site of its inception. The race was established on May 19th, 1875, by the same founder of the Kentucky Derby, Colonel Meriwether LewisClark, and is modeled after the British Epsom Oaks.

Kentucky Oaks Day at Churchill Downs is the fourth highest attended horse race in the United States - following the Triple Crown of racing; the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes, and the Belmont Stakes. Aside from thunderous live horse racing, fans celebrate fashion and fundraising for critical women's health issues.

"animal exploitation facilities".

These actions drew the ire of farmers, who felt they were targeted.

The revocation came in the form of a statement on the industry regulator's website and a story in industry publication The Weekly Times.

The ACNC did not go into the details of why they removed Aussie Farms' charity status but said the group would no longer be able to access Commonwealth charity tax concessions, including income tax exemption, fringe benefits tax rebates and goods and services tax concessions.

ACNC Commissioner, Gary Johns, said revocation of charity status was reserved for the most serious of cases.

"Charities must stick to their purpose, and maintain their obligations under the ACNC Act, Charities Act and adhere to governance standards," Dr Johns said.

Mr Delforce went on to call for a review of the ACNC's actions.

"We will be calling for an immediate review of the ACNC's ability to operate independently and without corruption by business interests, as it is extremely inappropriate for decisions about charities to be made by third parties with a financial stake in their revocation," Mr Delforce added.

The decision by the ACNC to revoke Aussie Farms' charity status was welcomed by farmers and the National Farmers' Federation, who tweeted their happiness at the decision.

"Aussie Farms has finally been stripped of its charity status! It follows official complaints by us and hundreds of our members and supporters. Thank you to everyone who stood with us to oppose their behaviour!" The tweet read.

Victorian


cafe owner John Gommans, who was forced to close his business after animal activists entered his property, also welcomed the decision.

"I think that's absolutely wonderful news, and it's the first step in the battle to have the site taken down and removed," Mr Gommans told the ABC.

Mr Gommans had been targeted by Aussie Farms in a September 3 Facebook post about his Trafalgar goat farm.

Aussie Farms was registered by the ACNC effective 1 January 2018, with the purpose of preventing or relieving the suffering of animals.

woman sounds distressed and she thought she heard the word “help”.

Ms Damond called back eight minutes later to ensure police had the right address. She was told officers were on the way.

The former Sydney resident went to meet the police car and was shot by Noor who was sitting in the front passenger seat.

He and his partner said they were startled by Ms Damond.

Ms Damond’s family filed a civil lawsuit against the city of Minneapolis and received a record $US20 million ($A29 million) settlement.

Noor, 33, was convicted of murder. He is behind bars and will be sentenced on June 7.After years of progress, the median earnings gap between black and white men has returned to what it was in 1950, according to new research by economists from Duke University and the University of Chicago.

The experience of African-American men is not uniform, though: The earnings gap between black men with a college education and those with less education is at an all-time high, the authors say.

The research appears online this week in the National Bureau of Economic Research working paper series.

The paper looks at earnings for working-age men across a span of 75 years, from 1940 to 2014. The earnings gap between black and white men narrowed during the civil rights era. Then, starting around 1970, the gap between black and white men’s wages started widening once again.

“When


it comes to the earnings gap between black and white men, we’ve gone all the way back to 1950,” said Duke economist Patrick Bayer, who co-authored the paper with Kerwin Kofi Charles of the University of Chicago.

The picture for black men looks very different at the top of the economic ladder versus the bottom, the authors say. Since the 1960s, top black salaries have continued to climb. Those advances were fueled by more equal access to universities and high-skilled professions, the study finds.

Meanwhile, a starkly different story transpired at the bottom of the economic ladder. Massive increases in incarceration rates and the general decline of working-class jobs have devastated the labor market prospects of men with a high school degree or less, the authors say.

He began lecturing throughout post-war Germany, often to large audiences, about his social ideas. Here, speaking to a more intimate grouping at the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland, Steiner seeks to deepen the themes of social threefolding, showing specifically how new social thinking is integral to anthroposophy.

Steiner speaks of the superficiality of the materialistic view of history, originating with the economic shift amongst the population at the time of the Reformation. Back during the Egyptian–Chaldean era, initiates ruled out of spiritual impulses. Later, in the Greco-Roman period, priests had power over their congregations. Today, homo economicus (the economic human) has become the dominant idea, while capitalists and bankers

Would she be interested in building a risk and fraud team that operates like a product team? The answer was a definite “yes” — even though she felt she lacked some experience around mobile payments. Again, Megan took the adventurous path forward and became employee #20 at Square.

Her previous experience as a product manager meant that she could see problems and outline solutions. So when she realized Square didn’t have a product roadmap during the first 2 weeks of her job, she wrote a long email to Jack, outlining how she recommended developing an engine around building products.

The U.S. Department of Justice issued two reports last week, both growing out of the Ferguson, Missouri shooting of Michael Brown. The first report, about "the shooting death of Michael Brown by Ferguson, Missouri police officer Darren Wilson" ought to be read by every American.

It says in plain English what facts have been established by an autopsy on Michael Brown's body -- by three different pathologists, including one representing the family of Michael Brown -- by DNA examination of officer Darren Wilson's gun and police vehicle, by examination of the pattern of blood stains on the street where Brown died and by a medical report on officer Wilson, from the hospital where he went for treatment.

The bottom line is that all this hard evidence, and more, show whata complete lie was behind all the stories of Michael Brown being shot in the back or being shot while raising his hands in surrender. Yet that lie was repeated, and dramatized in demonstrations and riots from coast to coast, as well as in the media and even in the halls of Congress.

The other Justice Department report, issued the same day -- "Investigation of the Ferguson Police Department" -- was a complete contrast. Sweeping assumptions take the place of facts, and misleading statistics are thrown around recklessly. This second report is worth reading, just to get a sense of the contrast with the first.

According to the second report, law enforcement in Ferguson has a "disparate impact" on blacks and is "motivated" by "discriminatory intent."

"Disparate impact" statistics have for


are seldom, if ever, asked to produce hard evidence that it is factually correct, as distinct from politically correct.

Blacks are far more statistically "over-represented" among basketball stars in the NBA than among people stopped by police in Ferguson. Hispanics are similarly far more "over-represented" among baseball stars than in the general population. Asian Americans are likewise far more "over-represented" among students at leading engineering schools like M.I.T. and Cal Tech than in the population as a whole.

None of this is peculiar to the United States. You can find innumerable examples of such group disparities in countries around the world and throughout recorded history.

has also exhibited on her own (jewellerly and art). This book feels a bit like ears-dropping on a family conversation. Seeing the cover and this lovely photograph of Latica Ivanishevich, you might jump to the conclusion that this is a book about her. That is, however, not the case. She is certainly the author of the book, but this book is neither her autobiography, or her memoir. This is a book about her family. Moreover, it not just about immediate family (her parents, grandparents) but about many other important members of her family. In addition, many historical and political figures are mentioned. The title of the book is a reference to the way she was raised. As Latica said in an interview for Nacional:

"Our home was frequented byvoices (from this family). The book actually opens with letters from Latica's grandmother Irena. Her grandmother wrote those letters to her parents while she was a student in Vienna. It was wonderful reading these letters from the start of the last century. Funny how much of myself I could find in the meditations of this young girl written at the start of the twentieth century! The next narrator is doctor Srechko Shilovich who writes letters from South America to which he had to flee the country for political prosecution.

These letters (or articles) were written in a manner of a travelling diary and it is quite possible they were intended for publications in newspapers. Despite all the difficulties Shilovich encounters settling on that content, his writing is filled with


humour and funny episodes. Until he managed to establish his reputation as a doctor, his family survived eating only oranges from an orange tree that was planted in the garden of house they bought. Instead of being bitter about it, the whole family laughed about it- and they claim those oranges were delicious, very nutritive and had to be eaten with a spoon. People obviously didn't complain as much in the old days!

In general, there is not much complaining in this book. I never had a feeling there was a narrator who felt sorry for themselves- they seem to be willing to take whatever life throws at them. Considering that we're talking about a wealthy family who (more than once) lost everything they had, that says something abouttheir character. In addition, some members of this family lost their lives due to their partisan/ political activities. All the cultural shifts and ideological struggles are reflected on the life of this family, some less, some more tragically. A quite large part of this book is narrated by Ines, Latica's mother, an artist and ballerina in her own right. Ines Ivanishevich has had a very interesting life. Not that many people know and remember that she was the first director ofLado. This book covers time period from the early 2o th century to present times, but the main focus is on the Second World War (probably because all the family members were known communist and partisans).

men to express theirs." This sentence was uttered by a heroine of Far From The Madding Crowd , a novel by Thomas Hardy ( download it for free here). In the time Bathsheba (the novel's protagonist) lived, this was certainly the truth. A man was the one who was supposed to express his romantic feelings to a woman, who was (in most cases- we're not speaking about prehistorical times) free to decline or accept these feelings.

In a romantic dialogue, the power lies with the woman who is being courted, or so it might seem. But what happens if a woman is uncertain about her feelings? Or if she wants to take the initiative and be the first one to express her feelings in words? A woman was simplycapabilities, or lack thereof, plaguing the government agency. The committee would focus on features like adaptive cruise control and GPS navigation, as both are beginning to appear more often in new vehicles. There has also been talk of the NHTSA requiring auto makers to install electronic data recorders, also known as "black boxes," that record the vehicles technical data in all new cars. The reconfiguring of certain ignition systems along with the design of pedals may also come into question by the new committee.The study, as concluded upon by the National Research Council in its 139-page report released yesterday, would help the NHTSA "ascertain the causes of unexpected vehicle behaviors." These safety precautions would more specifically target unexplained problems like unintended acceleration that plagued Toyota in 2010. Toyota


had to recall over 14 million vehicles because of an unintended acceleration issue and pay more than $32 million in fines to regulatory agencies. The Japanese auto maker is also readying itself for court as it gears up to square off with hundreds of state and federal lawsuits expected to get underway next year.With the Toyota recalls creating unrest in the automotive industry and the consumers that purchase the products, the NHTSA asked the National Research Council to explore the issue further. NASA was also called upon to explore the unintended acceleration issue but neither could find conclusive evidence pointing to an electronic component failure. The report, named "The Safety Promise and Challenge of Automotive Electronics: Insights from Unintended Acceleration" highlights the shortcomings of the NHTSA but foundMany mass extinctions of life in the sea and on land have been attributed to geologically rapid heating, and in the case of the Permian–Triassic and others, driven by large igneous province volcanism. The Siberian Traps eruptions raised ambient temperatures to 35–40°C. A key question is how massive eruptions during these events, and others, could have killed life in the sea and on land; proposed killers are reviewed here. In the oceans, benthos and plankton were killed by anoxia–euxinia and lethal heating, respectively, and the habitable depth zone was massively reduced. On land, the combination of extreme heating and drought reduced the habitable land area, and acid rain stripped forests and soils. Physiological experiments show that some animals can adapt to temperature rises of a few degrees, and


the early Mesozoic, and dated, respectively, at 260, 252, 249, 232, 201 and 183 Ma. This Permian to early Mesozoic interval was a time of globally warm temperatures, no icecaps and the single supercontinent Pangaea [9]. It was also a time of major upheaval in life, with the demise of the so-called Palaeozoic faunas in the oceans and on land, and the rise of modern ecosystems [10,11].

These six extinction events through the Permian to Early Jurassic interval are all now most plausibly explained as driven by the consequences of LIP volcanism, being associated in turn [8,9] with the Emeishan Traps in China (Capitanian), the Siberian Traps in Russia (PTME, Smithian–Spathian), the Wrangellia basalts in western North America (Carnian), the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (ETME) and the Karoo–Ferrar basaltsand land masses are indicated.

In the Late Permian, Pangaea was characterized by high average temperatures, and a very broad semiarid belt around the more humid Equator [50]. In many regions, aridity increased across the PTB and into the Early Triassic [16], with the northward and southward expansion of low-latitude arid belts into the vast formerly humid basins of European Russia and South Africa (figure 3). Primary sedimentological evidence of aeolian sediments, such as the preservation of ancient dunes, suggests an expansion through the PTB. Extensive areas of aeolian dune sandstones are reported from the Late Permian of the Paraná Basin of eastern South America, and then at the PTB from new locations, including the rift basins of


Iberia, the south Urals and central Europe, in areas that had formerly been humid during the Late Permian [16]. This expansion of the arid belt was countered by increases in precipitation in other regions to balance the hydrological cycle.

Unusually, drought-killed associations of skeletons have been reported from the earliest Triassic of the Karoo Basin in South Africa [51]. The jumbled skeletons were interpreted as killed by drought around a shrinking water hole, and then aggregated by subsequent rainfall and transport. The drought interpretation is supported by the sedimentology of the sites, which shows lowering of water tables, the onset of drying through the loss of vegetation, the spread of vast playa lakes and accumulation of thin wind-blown laminae of loess dust.
