In a letter to B’Tselem director Hagai Elad, Sar-Shalom Jerbi said his decision came in the wake of the fighting in Gaza. B’Tselem, whose full name is B’Tselem: The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories, sought to broadcast the names of dead Palestinian children during the 29 days of fighting.

“I feel obligated to exercise my authority and discontinue state assistance to an organization that acts against the state and its soldiers, who are literally sacrificing their lives in supreme heroism to ensure the welfare


and security of all citizens from all sectors suffering for years from firing on their homes,” Jerbi wrote.

National civilian service has slots for volunteers at organizations on both sides of the political spectrum, such as anti-abortion group Efrat on the right and Hotline for Migrant Workers on the left. B’Tselem has one slot for a national-service volunteer, which it received in 2012.

During discussions on a bill in January, Jerbi said national civilian service would be available “only to bodies that do not subvert the existence of the state as a Jewish and democratic state.”

In his letter to Elad, Jerbi added that “there is a clear line separating a legitimate political opinion in the Israeli political discourse and the dissemination and publication of lies and slander in Israel andmoment.” … Watson’s mother, Deann, raised four kids on her own, the early years spent huddled in a cramped apartment in Gainesville, Ga. One day, Deshaun brought home a note from Habitat for Humanity, laying out a path to home ownership.

that Adam Triana was selling crack
cocaine from an unspecified motel room in the rear area of Whitten Motel ("the Whitten") in
Kerrville, Texas. (1)  The informant, who had always provided reliable narcotics information in the
past, told Investigator Geske he received this information from another person.  Geske testified the
informant had been providing information on an ongoing basis about Triana's involvement with
narcotics.  Triana was well known to police as a trafficker in narcotics, including crack cocaine.  He
had numerous arrests for narcotics violations and had previously served prison time for possession
of a controlled substance.  Geske testified he had executed a search warrant at Triana's residence,
finding crack cocaine and marijuana, a few months before January 26, 2008. (2)  Investigator Geske
also had information that Triana would trade drugsall their narcotics with them, and noted Triana did
not have any crack cocaine in his possession when he was arrested. The two officers agreed to meet
at the Whitten to determine whether Hoffman was there and whether she would allow them to search
the room for narcotics.
	Approximately one hour after Triana's arrest, Engstrom and Geske met with the manager of
the Whitten at the motel.  She informed them Hoffman worked at the Whitten and was provided
room 242 as part of her compensation.  The manager confirmed Triana was staying at the motel, and
she escorted the officers to room 242, which was located on the second floor at the rear of the
Whitten.
	When the group was about twenty yards away from the room, Hoffman walked out of the
room and appeared to speak


with someone on the ground level.  Hoffman had her back to the group,
but soon turned around and made eye contact with the manager and the two officers.  Corporal
Engstrom was wearing his police uniform.  He testified Hoffman had "a look of panic" on her face
and "bolted back into the room" "as fast as she could," leaving the door open.  Both officers moved
quickly to the doorway of room 242, with Corporal Engstrom in the lead.  Investigator Geske
testified he was concerned for his safety because of Hoffman's actions and his knowledge that Triana
would trade drugs for guns.  Corporal Engstrom testified when he arrived at the front door he saw
Hoffman standing over the toilet flushing it.  Investigator Geske testified he could not see Hoffman
because hisview was blocked by Corporal Engstrom, but he heard the toilet flushing as they arrived
at the door of the room.  Investigator Geske stated neither officer entered the room until after they
heard Hoffman flushing the toilet.  Both men testified the front door and the door to the bathroom
were left wide open.  After seeing Hoffman and hearing the flushing, Corporal Engstrom and
Investigator Geske entered the room, and Corporal Engstrom pushed Hoffman away from the toilet.
He reached into the toilet and retrieved a baggie.  It was later determined the baggie contained crack
cocaine.
	Corporal Engstrom testified he had participated in the execution of numerous search warrants
where drugs were retrieved from toilets.  He further testified that after seeing Hoffman standing over
the toilet and flushing it, he entered the


the officer who arrested him he was living at the Whitten with Hoffman;
 Triana did not have any crack cocaine in his possession when arrested;

The investigators arrived at the Whitten approximately one hour after Triana was arrested;
 The manager at the Whitten told investigators Hoffman worked at the motel and was
provided a room as part of her compensation.  The manager confirmed Triana was staying
at the motel;
 Hoffman's room was located at the rear of the motel;
 When Hoffman saw the officers she had a "look of panic" upon on her face and "bolted" into
her room "as fast as she could" before officers even indicated they were there to speak with
her;
 Hoffman did not close the room door or the bathroom door; and
 Corporal Engstrom saw Hoffmancause.
	Triana may have been the focus of the investigation, but another aspect of the investigation
was to determine whether drugs were present in his room at the Whitten.  Triana's known history
of drug dealing, the informant's tip, the fact Triana did not have crack cocaine on him when he was
arrested, and the officers' experience led them to reasonably believe Triana may have left crack
cocaine in his motel room.  Although none of the information provided by the informant pointed to
Hoffman individually, his information coupled with Triana's admission that he lived with Hoffman
at the Whitten certainly brought her into the sphere of suspicion.  That suspicion grew stronger after
the police arrived at the Whitten and the manager confirmed Triana was staying there with Hoffman,
and that Hoffman's room was


in the United States, and the standard American diet (SAD) that’s laden with saturated fat and cholesterol from meat and dairy is largely to blame. Children as young as age 3 who are raised on fast food and junk food show early signs of heart disease, according to the Bogalusa Heart Study done at the Louisiana State University. Cardiovascular disease is found in one in nine women aged 45 to 64 and in one in three women over 65. Heart attacks are also deadlier to the fairer sex: 53 percent of women who have heart attacks die from them, compared with 47 percent of men. Today, the average American male eating a meat-based diet has a 50 percent chance of dying from heart disease. His risk drops tothe swiveling articulation snaps in and out, but whereby the swivel or snap-in mechanism is simpler and thereby easier to assemble, and is more compact.
This object is attained through the characteristics of some aspects of the present invention. According to these the holding arm according to the invention is basically an arm that is continuous at least in the area of the swiveling articulation, whereby the swiveling axis of the swiveling articulation formed between the two arm segments is at a right angle to the longitudinal direction of the arm segments.

Arques is calling — findAudrey named the child Javis Ray Sterling.
On May 14, 1975, while Audrey was still a minor, she sued the defendant, Donald Coleman, through counsel, Sylvia Taylor, attorney for the Southwest Louisiana Legal Services Society, Inc., in suit number 105,553 on the docket of the 14th Judicial District Court, Parish of Calcasieu, for the establishment of paternity and child support for Javis. After filing an answer of general denial, defendant filed a peremptory exception, excepting to the petition based on Audrey's lack of procedural capacity as an unemancipated minor to bring suit.
The matter came on for hearing on the peremptory exception and the trial on the merits on December 4, 1975. The exception was referred to the merits of the case. At the conclusion of the trial, judgment was


rendered in favor of the defendant, Donald Coleman. No ruling was made on the exception due to the judgment rendered.
Fifteen years later, on March 3, 1990, Audrey applied for State AFDC benefits for the child, Javis. She named Donald Coleman as the natural father of Javis in the State Form 401, "Agreement to Relinquish Child Support Payments" to the State. The State's Enforcement Services office in Calcasieu Parish contacted Coleman for his admission of this fact and a stipulation for child support, and notified him of an appointment on July 7, 1990. Coleman failed to show up for the appointment.
Thereafter, on August 2, 1990, the Department of Social Services filed a petition against Coleman to establish paternity of Javis and to set child support payments. A default judgmentand support against Coleman, was a nullity. The trial judge further denied Coleman's "Motion to Set Aside Judgment and Declare the Issue of Paternity of Javis Sterling Res Judicata," and also denied Coleman's exception of prescription filed in suit No. 105,553, in response to the State's Motion for Nullification of Judgment. The State's motion for nullification was granted.
The trial judge issued the following reasons on October 24, 1991:
THE COURT: In the 105,553 matter a suit was filed for the paternity of the child, Jarvis [sic] Sterling, by his mother, Audrey May Sterling, who at the time was a minor of seventeen years of age. This matter was filed May 14, 1975. She was born June 26, 1957. So, in a little more than a month she would have

In preparation for the First World Conference on City Diplomacy, preparatory meetings were held Perugia, Italy in on 6-7 October 2006 and Barcelona, Spain on 6-7 September 2007. For results of the Perugia meeting on the Internet, click here. For results of the Barcelona meeting on the Internet, click here.

The First World Conference on City Diplomacy, The Role of Local Governments in Conflict Prevention, Peace-building and Post-Conflict Reconstruction, was organised by UCLG,the city of The Hague, and the Association of Netherlands Municipalities (VNG) Rights in the Peace Palace in The Hague from the 11th - 13th June, 2008. The Conference was in close collaboration with the province and city of Barcelona and the Italian Coordination of Local Authorities for Peace and Human Rights.

The Conference produced the Hague Agenda for City Diplomacy, as follows:

We, the conference participants, on the eve of the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:

Convinced that it is our common concern to prevent and eliminate violent conflicts, to protect human rights and to achieve peace and justice.

Concerned about the ongoing threat of violent conflicts in this world to the security and wellbeing of our citizens, recalling that in the last decade more than 15


million people have lost their lives to conflicts and 40 million people have been forced to flee their homes.

Concerned about the rise of extremism in our societies, of intolerance and tensions between and among communities of different cultures, ethnicities, religion and traditions, which often become a source of conflict.

Feeling the urge to act on the calls from local governments dealing with situations of violent conflict, to assist them in their efforts to strive for a peaceful environment in which the internationally recognised human rights of all citizens are respected and show solidarity with colleagues working in those situations.

Believing that it is the duty of local governments to work for peace, freedom, democracy and prosperity and by doing so to contribute to the international development and peace-building agenda; webelieve that local governments, the government tier closest to the people, can truly feel the needs of their citizens and are in a unique position to respond to these needs in times of conflict.

Being aware that the changing nature of conflict increasingly confronts local governments with the responsibility to secure the wellbeing of their citizens and that sustainable development could contribute to the solution of conflict whatever its origin (economic, political, religious and cultural).

Defining city diplomacy as the tool of local governments and their associations for promoting social cohesion, conflict prevention, conflict resolution and post-conflict reconstruction with the aim of creating a stable environment, in which the citizens can live together in peace, democracy and prosperity.

Emphasising the importance of effective decentralisation and local self-government as a condition for


The role of local governments has been insufficiently recognised and supportedHaving said this, it is remarkable that the role of local governments and their national associations in conflict prevention, post-conflict resolution and peace-building has been insufficiently recognised and supported in national and international policy decision making, intervention strategies and research. There is no doubt that local governments are confronted with the negative effects of violent ethnic, religious or social conflicts on the lives and wellbeing of their citizens. In many places local governments in close cooperation with local organisations play or have played a crucial role in preventing conflicts, building bridges after conflicts and promoting a peaceful environment. As the government tier closest to the people they are in a unique position to contribute to conflict prevention andand resolution of violent conflicts. Moreover local governments outside conflict areas have important possibilities to help local governments in conflict areas cope with conflict and post conflict situations. It was decided that a first international conference on this issue should be organised in order to gain more insight into the practical peace building activities of local governments and to define a well-based political agenda for the work of UCLG in this regard. Inspiring preparatory meetings for this international conference were held in Perugia (autumn 2006), organised by the Italian Coordination of Local Authorities for Peace and Human Rights, and in Barcelona (autumn 2007) organised by the Province and City of Barcelona. It became clear that interest in the role of local governments in conflict resolution is still in

This study was designed to determine the Perinatal Mortality Rate at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH), Enugu, Nigeria at the end of the last millennium. There had been no comprehensive study on this since the inception of the institution in the early seventies. A five-year retrospective, hospital based study of the births and deaths of infants under one week of age was carried out. This was done using the birth records in the Labour Ward (LW), and the New Born Special Care Unit (NBSCU) of the hospital. The UNTH is a referral centre in Enugu covering five states in Eastern Nigeria. However, for the purpose of this study, all babies


referred from other hospitals, maternity homes etc (BBA's), were not included. All births and deaths from twenty two weeks gestational age to one week after birth were included in the study. The data were collected by the doctors involved in the study from January 1995 to December 1999 inclusive. Six thousand, three hundred and seventy-six babies were recruited into the study. Out of this number, 5942 were live births, 434 were still births while 411 were early neonatal deaths. Seventy-four babies were dropped from the study (1.16%), due to insufficient information and mutilation of some parts of the records. The total perinatal deaths was 845 giving a perinatal mortality rate (PMR) of 133.94/1000, a high PMR when compared with similar centers in and outside Nigeria.remaining two battalions of the division were attacked by the front guard of the Russian force near the village of Pohost. In a series of skirmishes neither side gained an upper hand. However, because of those fights the 12th and 53rd Russian Rifle Divisions stopped their march westwards and faced south, giving the Polish units some badly-needed time to regroup and evade encirclement. Gen. Lucjan Żeligowski withdrew his 10th Infantry Division behind Mniuta River to shorten the line, but the Russian force did not follow.

In the centre the Russian offensive slowed down to a crawl. Despite the weakness of the Polish lines, the southernmost Russian divisions (11th and 33rd) pushed only a couple of kilometres forward, while the northern group (16th and 54th Rifle Divisions) did not even


tried to form a new front line at the line of 1916 German and Russian trenches of World War I, running in front of Wilno (modern Vilnius, Lithuania). However, Hayk Bzhishkyan's Cavalry Corps joined the fight against the battle-weary 1st Army and achieved what the forces of Tukhachevski couldn't. The trench line had to be abandoned, and the 1st Army withdrew further west, to the Grodno-Neman River-Shchara River-Ogiński Canal. The Cavalry Corps broke through that line as well in the aftermath of a three-day-long First Battle of Grodno of 20 July 1920. The 1st Army then set up a new defensive line along the Bug River, but its defence was equally unsuccessful. It was not until the victorious Battle of Warsaw of mid-August that the retreat stopped andEXCLUSIVE

We now know why Ezekiel Elliott was in the middle of a police incident at an Ohio bar over the weekend ... his "best friend" was getting arrested for a bringing a loaded gun to the place.

TMZ Sports posted video of Ezekiel speaking with cops in front of the Park Street Patio Bar on Friday night ... and while he was NOT detained, arrested or accused of any wrongdoing -- it's clear he was very interested in the investigation.

Play video content TMZSports.com

Now, we know the person who was arrested that night is Alvarez Jackson ... who's been described as Zeke's "best friend" in a 2015 Sports Illustrated article. He's also a regular on EE's Instagram feed.

According to the police report obtained by TMZ Sports, Jackson was being patted


down by security on his way into the bar when they found a loaded Glock 9mm handgun inside of a purse-like bag around his neck.

Security took the gun -- but Alvarez allegedly ran upstairs into the bar. Officials say he was tracked down and arrested.

Law enforcement sources tell us Alvarez tried to name-drop Ezekiel during the incident -- claiming he's the NFL star's "brother."

We previously spoke with Ezekiel's rep who says the Cowboys RB did provide information to police but was NEVER accused of any wrongdoing.grip for a smooth, fast draw. This type of holster is a Hollywood anachronism. Fast-draw artists can be distinguished from other movie cowboys because their guns will often be tied to their thigh. Long before holsters were steel-lined, they were soft and supple for comfortable all-day wear. A gunfighter would use tie-downs to keep his pistol from catching on the holster while drawing. Most of the time, gunfighters would just hide their pistols in their pockets, which was faster and more practical. Other gunfighters would use Bridgeport rigs that gave a faster and easier draw.

Sport
Fast draw is one of the fastest sports in the world. Every time is measured under one second, from the signal to draw to when the timer is stopped.  The current World Fast


timer is rigged to stop on the sound of the wax bullet hitting the plate, or the balloon popping.  Different types of matches use one or more targets, and the shooter can fire from a standing position, or while walking towards or backing away from the target(s).

The exhibition shooter Bob Munden (1942-2012), proclaimed by the Guinness Book of World Records as “the fastest man with a gun who ever lived", could draw, fire, break a balloon target with a blank using a standard weight single-action revolver and return his gun to his holster faster than the blink of an eye. On his DVD "Outrageous Shooting," Munden was filmed shooting .16 of a second in an event called Walk and Draw Level.

There are many stories about the name Kahvimaa, or Coffee Land in English. The most well-known of them is this:
A policeman was going from house to house looking for illegal moonshine distilleries. None were found, but in each house coffee was served. When the policeman reached the final house, the result was the same: no illegal distilleries. However, the lady of the house offered him food and coffee, to which the policeman responded: “This is a real coffee land ".

Coffee, like many other great things in life, was discovered accidentally. There are many stories about the discovery of coffee. The most famous one tells of a goatherd named Kaldi, who lived in the province of Kaffa, in Ethiopia. One night, Kaldi was having trouble getting his goats to settle down for the night. The goats had been chewing on the glossy leaves and red berries of the coffee plant. Kaldi tasted the berries himself and became as restless as the animals he was herding. The taste wasn’t great, so he threw the berries into the fire which lead to a fantastic smell emerging from the flames. To dilute the strong taste of the berries, someone later had the idea to crush andPages

War with Taliban Surges in Afghan Capitol

The Taliban have stepped up there offensive in Afghanistan today. They attacked both Government and civilian targets in the Afghanistan capital of Kabul.

Gun Battles erupted just after 10 Am in the capitol city after a single member of a Taliban strike force detonated a suicide vest at the gates of Kabuls Central Bank, killing himself and an Afghan Intel officer.

The remaining six members of the Taliban group reportedly threw grenades into a group of people attempting to flee the situation and then took cover in a nearby market.

The coordinated assault is reported to have been carried out by seven Taliban members demonstrating the Taliban's ability to strike virtually any target with small numbers using Guerilla style warfare tactics.


The same tactics that inflicted damage time and time again on U.S. forces during the Vietnam war.

Their attack was centered on an area of Kabul that shows the lack of military control by the Afghanistan Government and military officials. The majority of the combat between Afghanistan military commandos and the Taliban took place just 200 yards from the Afghan Presidential Palace.

The battle lasted five hours as the Taliban attempted to press the assault on the capitol. They were armed with AK-47's, grenades, rocket launchers and suicide bomb vests and an ambulance packed with explosives. In the end the Afghan police and commandos were able to kill the remaining Taliban.

WASHINGTON — President Trump, exulting in the release of three Americans from prison in North Korea, confirmed Thursday that he would meet Kim Jong-un, the North’s leader, in Singapore on June 12, setting the date for a once unimaginable encounter.

The choice of Singapore, a tidy, prosperous city-state with ties to both the United States and North Korea, is a small victory for Mr. Trump’s advisers, who talked him out of meeting Mr. Kim in the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea — a far more symbolic, but politically problematic, location.

“We will both try to make it a very special moment for World Peace!” Mr. Trump said in a midmorning post on Twitter, hours after he traveled in the middle of the night to Joint Base Andrews nearWashington to greet the three men: Kim Dong-chul, Tony Kim and Kim Hak-song.

North Korea’s release of the Americans lifted a major obstacle to the summit meeting. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who has taken charge of the diplomatic opening to the North, finalized its date and location during a 90-minute meeting with Kim Jong-un in Pyongyang, the North’s capital. Afterward, Mr. Pompeo left with the detainees on his plane.

Article excerpt

Byline: PENNY COTTEE

EMPLOYERS across the UK are waking up to the importance both of administrative staff and administration skills, and bosses are convinced that high quality admin resources are the key to a successful business. Yet despite this, few have put in place proper strategies to develop the role of administration in their firms.

Initial findings from the largest survey of administration skills in the UK, show that while 67 per cent of firms now realise admin is more important than ever before, fewer than half have set out procedures to enhance


and nurture the skills needed. The research - early results of which have been prereleased exclusively to Just the Job - also highlights worrying skills gaps in administration across the board.

The survey was carried out by the Council for Administration (CfA), the UK's expert body on administration skills. The CfA mailed questionnaires to 5,000 small, medium and large organisations in the private and public sectors, and posted the survey on its website. Both employers and employees were invited to take part, and more than 17 per cent answered the call.

Workers polled included office managers, secretaries/PAs, office administrators and company secretaries. For some, admin is their whole job; for others it's only a part.

In her lone game of the week, she posted 25 points and 16 rebounds – her fifth straight double-double – in the Titans’ 76-61 win at Santa Fe, their fifth straight; was also credited with one steal and two blocks       FACTS
       Stephan Bernik owned a landscaping business. He negotiated to sell the business
to Valeriy Pishtoy and accepted a deposit from him. The two could not reach agreement,
however, and Pishtoy asked for his deposit back. They both agreed to meet in a
supermarket parking lot to discuss the issue.
       At the appointed hour, each party arrived, accompanied by friends. Bernik arrived
in a Mazda truck that was pulling a trailer. Yury Dovgan was with him. Alex Chekayda
and Roman Mysin arrived in a Lexus. They came at Dovgan’s request. Defendant, who
is Stephan Bernik’s son and Dovgan’s friend, arrived in a Nissan Titan pickup truck
along with his two brothers.


 Dovgan had originally ridden with defendant in the Titan, but prior to arriving at
the supermarket, the Mazda and the Titan stopped, and Dovgan got out. He walked over
to the Mazda, walked back, and put a gun next to the seatbelt buckle in the Titan. He
then returned to the Mazda and rode with Bernik to the supermarket.
       Accompanying Pishtoy were Hariton Prutyanu, his son Aleksandr Prutyanu, and
Yevgeniy Yakimov. Hariton arrived in his own car, and Yakimov and Aleksandr came in
Aleksandr’s car.
       Pishtoy and Bernik started talking. Pishtoy heard Bernik say to another man,
“Andrey, leave the gun.” Someone from behind Pishtoy put a rope around his throat and
started to hit him, while Bernik hit him from thefront. A violent fight broke out, and
Pishtoy was seriously injured. One of his sons took him away.
       After the fight, the parties began fleeing the parking lot. Bernik drove out of the
parking lot in his Mazda truck and trailer. As he did, Aleksandr’s friend Yakimov
jumped onto the trailer. The Nissan Titan rolled by Aleksandr, and as it did, someone
from inside the truck pointed a gun at him. Then it left the lot.

                                                2


    Defendant’s friend Dovgan jumped into the Lexus with Chekayda and Mysin, and
they left to follow Bernik’s Mazda and the Titan. Hariton and Aleksandr Prutyanu left in
Hariton’s car and they, too, tried to follow the Mazda.
       As Bernik drove the Mazda, Yakimov moved from the trailer to the Mazda’s bed.
Bernik swerved the truck back and forth while Yakimov used a knife to break the rear
window. With the truck moving, Bernik opened the driver’s side door, jumped out, and
ran away. Yakimov also jumped out of the truck, threw his knife in some bushes, and ran
back to where his pickup was parked.
       The driverless Mazda crashed into a fire hydrant. Two witnesses stopped at the
accidentscene and one pulled the keys out of the Mazda’s ignition. The Lexus pulled up
to the scene, and Dovgan exited the Lexus. Carrying a crow bar, he ran up to the Mazda,
angry and yelling. One of the witnesses calmed him down. Meanwhile, the Titan pulled
up across the street, and a gunshot from inside the Titan hit and killed Dovgan. The Titan
immediately left the scene.
       Later, the victim’s father, Vasily Dovgan, recorded a conversation he had with
defendant. In the conversation, defendant admitted he killed his friend, Vasily’s son.
The recording was played to the jury and a translated transcript was admitted into
evidence by stipulation of the parties. In the conversation, defendant stated that at the
time of the accident, he thought his father had been


injured or killed while driving the
Mazda and had fallen over out of sight. He claimed that when he arrived at the scene,
there were men with daggers running around, so he started shooting. He did not aim at
anyone but thought, “Whoever I hit, I hit.” However, he stated that as the Titan pulled
away, he thought he had “finished” the person he shot. He later learned he had killed
“the wrong person.”
       Defendant testified at trial. He claimed that after the parking lot fight, he and his
two brothers drove off in the Titan. Before leaving the lot, he noticed some men on the
other side of the fight were armed with weapons; one had a knife. These men tried to

                                             3
block the Titan, so he brandished his gun to scare them. He saw the man with the knife
jump onto the Mazda’s trailer and make his way to the truck’s bed. The man started
hitting the truck’s window with the knife. The Mazda and the Titan took different routes
out of the parking lot, but both ended up on the same street, with the Mazda behind the
Titan. Defendant saw the Mazda swerving back and forth behind him, and his brother,
who was driving the Titan, made a u-turn to go help their father.


The Mazda almost hit
them, and then it crashed. Defendant could not see his father, so he thought his father
had been stabbed and was slumped over in his seat.
       The Titan made another u-turn and headed back to the crash site. Defendant saw
someone by the Mazda who he thought was the man who had been in the back of the
Mazda attempting to break its window, along with some people he thought were the
man’s friends. He shot one time from the Titan to scare them away, and he saw someone
fall. He asserted he just shot toward the Mazda and did not aim at anyone. After firing
the shot, the Titan immediately sped off. Defendant also did not call the police.
Defendant believed the person he shot                           II
                       Due Process Right Against Precharging Delay
         Defendant contends he was denied his due process right against precharging delay
because the prosecution delayed arraigning him for nearly three years after the homicide
occurred. He claims he was prejudiced due to witnesses’ memories fading and the
prosecution’s negligence. We conclude defendant forfeits this claim. He does so by
raising an argument on appeal that was not raised at trial, and by failing to support his
argument with


any citations to the record. With no evidence before us, defendant fails to
establish he was prejudiced.
A.       Background
         The homicide occurred on April 12, 2006. Defendant was arrested on February
21, 2009, and arraigned on February 24, 2009. On October 26, 2011, and prior to trial,

                                              8
defendant filed a motion to dismiss the action, claiming the action’s filing nearly three
years after the homicide denied him his due process rights. At trial,trial court erred in its ruling, although for a
different reason. He argues the delay in filing the case was prejudicial because “the case
is replete with witnesses, who because of the length of time, could not recall the specifics
of the events.” Defendant provides no citations to the record to support this claim.
       Defendant also contends the delay was prejudicial because it was based solely on a
change of legal opinion within the district attorney’s office, not on a change of law or
newly discovered evidence.
B.     Analysis
       We conclude defendant has forfeited his due process claims. He forfeits them on
two grounds. First, he raises an argument here he did not raise at trial. He contended at
trial


anxiety and panic attacks. Defendant was convicted
in November 2011. In an opinion rendered in June 2012, Dr. Zhalkovsky stated

                                             10
defendant likely had a panic attack at the time of the shooting arising from his perceived
inability to protect his father. In Dr. Zhalkovsky’s opinion, defendant’s behavior at the
time of the crime and his immediately leaving the scene demonstrated the poor judgment
that frequently accompanies patients with anxiety and panic attacks.
       The second item of alleged new evidence consisted of atrio walked
to their parked cars, Juror No. 11 noticed four people who had been in the courtroom,
including the one who had questioned the group moments earlier, standing around a
vehicle and watching the jurors get into their cars. The four people did not say anything
to the jurors.
       As Juror No. 11 drove away, he noticed one of the four people, a female, was
following him in her car. They both continued onto the freeway. Juror No. 11 was not
certain she was following him, but he performed a couple of maneuvers in traffic and


surrounded by people defendant
believed were hostile. Defendant also did not seek police assistance or medical aid for
his father. He returned to the scene some hours later after he learned he had shot his
friend. Police were there, but he did not speak with them. He called his attorney.
       This evidence was sufficient for the jury to conclude defendant did not actually
fear that his father was in imminent danger of harm. Because there was no actual fear,
the killing was not justified, and all of the elements of second degree murder were met.

Retirement Claims Backlog Spikes

The federal retirement claims backlog spiked 37 percent during the last month, due to an expected influx of new applications, according to the latest figures from the Office of Personnel Management.

The agency’s backlog at the end of January stood at 36,062 claims, up from 26,402 claims at the end of 2012. OPM received 22,187 new retirement applications in January alone, 1,187 more than it expected to take in. By contrast the agency received 5,152 applications in December 2012.

New applications usually pour in at the end and beginning of every year. Despite January’s influx of claims, OPM actually processed 12,527 applications –the most since September, when the agency processed 12,563 claims. The agency expected a slightly higher backlog -- 38,978 claims -- by the end ofwould have to fill” while “the pension problem was festering.” Curry ended up beating Brown by focusing on these very real, honest-to-God local issues. He went on to institute reforms of city pensions, which voters approved by more than 65 percent of the vote.

In liberal San Francisco, there are rumblings that Republicans could end up making inroads there, too, with the New York Times reporting in June that some non-Republicans were starting to take a look at the GOP over concerns about “a large homeless population, record housing costs and a high rate of property crime.” Two months later—well into general election season—political insiders in the city still say that Democratic voters they know are willing to entertain voting for a Republican if it will get city government

The second of John N. Oswalt’schapters function as a part of Isaiah’s total vision written in the late 700s or early 600s BC.

Assuming the single authorship of Isaiah, the verse-by-verse commentary aims to interpret chapters 40–66 in light of the book as a whole. While not neglecting issues of historical criticism or form criticism, the commentary focuses mainly on the theological meaning of the text as indicated especially by the literary structure. Building on his earlier argument that the central theme of Isaiah is servanthood, Oswalt keeps readers focused on the character of Israel’s sovereign Redeemer God, on the blind servant Israel, and on the ultimate work of the Suffering Servant in whom the world can find its Savior.

The Book of Jeremiah

The Old Testament prophets played a crucial role in the history of Israel. Although there were many prophets who brought the message of God to his people, we have records of only a few. Of these, our knowledge of Jeremiah is probably the most complete. In this commentary, J. A. Thompson examines the book of Jeremiah with its message urging the people of Israel to be true to their covenant Lord and to live in conformity with his covenant requirements.

The Books of Joel, Obadiah, Jonah, and Micah

The eloquent and uncompromising calls for social righteousness by some of the Minor Prophets are familiar to many, yet the writings themselves are probably the least studied and least known texts of the Old Testament. Those who are familiar with these books are also aware of the historical and literary problems that plague their study. Drawing on insights from various perspectives—theological, historical, and literary—Leslie Allen’s commentary on Joel, Obadiah, Jonah, and Micah carefully and imaginatively reconstructs the stage on which the message of thesethe immediate historical situation as well as with regard to the overall canonical stance of the ongoing drama of revelation.

Before: MYRON H. BRIGHT,[*] HARRY PREGERSON, and KIM McLANE WARDLAW, Circuit Judges.
PREGERSON, Circuit Judge:
Joseph Caseres ("Caseres") appeals the district court's denial of his motion to suppress evidence that was discovered during a warrantless search of his car. After the district court denied the motion to suppress, Caseres entered a conditional guilty plea to a violation of 18


unmarked police car. He was accompanied by a ride-along passenger, Erica Czpull ("Czpull"). Around 9:45 p.m., Lt. Murphy observed Caseres driving on Second Street. Lt. Murphy noted that Caseres turned from westbound Second Street to northbound Mesa Street without signaling, which Lt. Murphy believed to be a violation of California Vehicle Code § 22108. He also noted that Caseres's front passenger compartment windows appeared to be tinted in violation of California Vehicle Code § 26708(a)(1).
Lt. Murphy followed Caseres's car. He requested a warrant check from dispatch. While Lt. Murphy waited for the results, Caseres turned down a number of side streets and Lt. Murphy lost sight of his car. Then, as Lt. Murphy was driving westbound on O'Farrell Street, he passed Caseres heading eastbound on the same street.Caseres claims that he did not recognize Lt. Murphy's unmarked patrol car as a police vehicle when it drove past him, heading in the opposite direction. At no time did Lt. Murphy activate his emergency flashing lights or sirens. He gave no indication to Caseres that he wanted to effectuate a traffic stop.
Caseres parked his car in front of 443 O'Farrell Street, two houses away from his residence at 455 O'Farrell Street. Caseres immediately exited his car and walked quickly toward his home. Lt. Murphy then made a three-point turn on O'Farrell Street and pulled his unmarked patrol car behind Caseres's unoccupied car.
Lt. Murphy caught up with Caseres on a residential front lawn. He was wearing a police uniform and identified himself as a police officer. He ordered


Caseres to stop. Caseres continued to move toward his residence, telling Lt. Murphy, "Fuck you, I'm home." Lt. Murphy called for back-up assistance and "moved quickly to close the distance between [Caseres] and [himself]."
When he reached Caseres again, Lt. Murphy spoke with him, trying to "buy time" until the back-up police officers arrived. According to Lt. Murphy, Caseres threatened him, saying, "I'm gonna kick your fuckin ass." Lt. Murphy then told Caseres that he was placing him under arrest. Caseres shook his fists at Lt. Murphy, who attempted to spray Caseres with mace. Caseres turned and ran. Lt. Murphy pursued him on foot.
Caseres ran west on O'Farrell Street, entered the alley east of Pacific Avenue, and then ran south. When he reached Santa Cruz Street, Caseres ran eastand entered the alley west of Mesa Street. He ran south and entered the alley south of Santa Cruz Street. Then, he ran back westward. Caseres finally surrendered from exhaustion in an alley north of Santa Cruz Street. Lt. Murphy arrested him at that location for violations of California Penal Code § 69 (Threatening a Police Officer) and California Penal Code § 148 (Resisting or Delaying a Police Officer). *1068 Caseres was never cited for any violation of the California Vehicle Code.
After arresting Caseres, Lt. Murphy returned to Caseres's car, which was parked a block and a half away from the location where Caseres had been apprehended and arrested. The police officers, who had responded to Lt. Murphy's call for assistance, had arrived at the scene. Lt. Murphy


search was constitutional as a search incident to a valid arrest and, alternatively, as an inventory search.
On June 19, 2006, Caseres entered a conditional guilty plea, pursuant to a written agreement, in which he expressly reserved the right to appeal the adverse ruling on his motion to suppress. Caseres was sentenced to thirty months imprisonment, three years supervised release, and a special assessment of $100. Caseres is currently in custody serving the sentence imposed in this case. His projected release date is October 21, 2008.

DISCUSSION
We must decide whether Lt. Murphy had a reasonable basis to detain Caseres, and whether the warrantless search of the passenger compartment of Caseres's car was constitutional as a search incident to a valid arrest, an inventory search, or a parole search.

I. CASERES'S DETENTIONdid not in fact submit to Lt. Murphy's authority at that time. Instead, Caseres continued to walk toward his home and then threatened to fight Lt. Murphy, saying "I'm gonna kick your fuckin ass." It was not until Caseres threatened to fight Lt. Murphy, which in and of itself provided a valid basis for arrest under California Penal Code § 69,[4] that Lt. Murphy attempted to arrest Caseres. Thus, we conclude that the crime committed in Lt. Murphy's presence  namely, Threatening a Police Officer, California Penal Code § 69  served as a valid basis for the subsequent arrest of Caseres.

II. THE SEARCH OF CASERES'S CAR WAS UNLAWFUL
We must next determine whether the search of the passenger compartment of Caseres's car was constitutional.
The Fourth Amendment guarantees the

Given the distance between Caseres and his car at the time of the arrest, we hold that the search of his car was not a valid search incident to arrest.[7] While we recognize the importance of providing consistent and workable rules to guide law enforcement officers, we cannot grant the police an automatic entitlement to search an arrestee's vehicle regardless of its distance from the place of the arrest. Permitting police to conduct broad investigative or rummaging searches following an arrest, irrespective of the exigencies, effectively makes the Fourth Amendment dead letter. Accordingly, we conclude that Caseres's arrest was not spatially related to the search of his vehicle and therefore the search cannot be justified under theplaced in handcuffs. After arresting Caseres, Lt. Murphy questioned Caseres regarding his parole status.
While this was occurring, Officer Dan Robbins ("Officer Robbins") arrived at Caseres's car, which was parked on O'Farrell Street  a block and a half away from the arrest point. Officer Robbins did not search Caseres's car at this time; instead, he got into Lt. Murphy's patrol car, which contained the ride-along passenger, Erica Czpull, and drove the patrol car to the location where the arrest had occurred.
Upon arrival at the arrest location, Officer Robbins got out of the patrol car to meet Lt. Murphy. Czpull waited inside the patrol car for some period of time. When Lt. Murphy returned to the patrol car, he drove himself and Czpull back to the location of Caseres's


smell. The mouthfeel was light for a quad and it wasn't as complex as you'd expect for something aged in oak, but it was still very good. Lots of fruit/ester complexity. Not very dark, though. Batch on this bottle was 001. Bottled 2/6/12

Taste: Opens with sweet, spicy alcohol, dark fruit, and caramel. As the taste progresses, bitter apple and plum notes appear. The alcohol is intensely, pleasantly warming, and its spicy undercurrent carries throughout the taste. As the taste draws to a close, some slightly earthy notes appear. Finishes with a lingering spicy presence. The presence of oak is very subtle, and perhaps merely a phantasm of my imagination.

Mouth feel: Smooth, soft, very pleasant, with a mild effervescence.

Drinkability/notes: A complex, over-the-top quadrupel, and a tribute to the skillsGeer, and S.C. Humes and G.D. Marsh. Mrs. Ethel Prather presented her letters from the M.E. Church of Union City, Pa. The letter was received and her name ordered placed on the church roll.

strong addresses against the liquor traffic. Reverend Pickett left little to be said against the evil when he had finished and his addresses were considered a powerful argument. The southern orator dwelt particularly on the relation of liquor to crime in the country and charged booze with being responsible for nine tenths of the crime and a financial waste of two billions annually. He declared that the outlook for ratification of the National Prohibition Amendment was promising and that enough states would have approved the measure by May 1919 to insure its enforcement in May of 1920 if not sooner. He declared that his own state, Kentucky, would approve the amendment by at least 60,000 in the special election already ordered.

One boyfriend named Rex was emotionally and verbally abusive, until her roommate Dorothy helped her realize his true personality. Another boyfriend Gary (Jerry Hardin) cheated on her by sleeping with Rose's sister Holly (Inga Swenson), who was visiting. Yet another, who appears in The Golden Palace, turns out to be a gigolo (Barry Bostwick). Blanche overcame her apprehension of dating Ted, who was in a wheelchair, only to find out he was married, so she terminated the relationship because she has never been the "other woman" in extramarital affairs and never wanted to be. The only other time that occurred was when her beau's wife was revived by paramedics after she was declared dead.The first four questions in Mike Anderson's press conference after an 81-62 win over Oral Roberts had to do with players who never even saw the floor. Mike Dixon Jr. served the first game of a length-to-be-determined suspension and John Underwood missed the game while dealing with family issues.

"Anybody want to talk about the game?" Anderson finally asked.

But even then, discussing the game was centered around personnel adjustments with the Tigers missing their starting point guard.

"In practice, I'm the starting point guard on my team," Phil Pressey said. "It's just, I guess, going out there and bringing practice to the game and not worrying about what Mike's doing or when he's going to come back because everybody on this team is just as important as the other guy."

Pressey


scored eight points and dished out seven assists. The effort marked his second straight solid outing, following up a five-point, nine-helper day in a weekend win over Presbyterian. Over the last two games, he has 13 points, 16 assists and two turnovers. In the first eight games of his career, the highly-touted freshman had averaged 3.6 points and had just one more assist (18) than turnovers (17).

"I thought Phil stepped up to the plate. He was one of those guys that was in charge," Anderson said. "I thought our guys did a good job of kind of rallying around him as well. I was proud of him."

The only difference in this one was that Pressey started the game on the court instead of the bench.

census numbers from birth records are known for Sweden, Norway, Ireland, India and Japan.

A ratio above 1, e.g. 1.1, means there are 1.1 males for every 1 female (more males than females). A ratio below 1, e.g. 0.8, means there are 0.8 males for every 1 female (more females than males). A ratio of 1 means there are equal numbers of females and males. The world average for the ratio of males/females is 1.01, which means there are 1.01 males for every female (more males than females).

Where Does This Book Fit in the Field? {#Sec3}
======================================

There have already been many textbooks on infectious disease modeling. Probably the best known and most influential the book written by Anderson and May (1991), who, like Kermack and McKendrick (1927, 1932, 1933), approached the subject from an epidemiologist's angle, using intuitively appealing and elegant mathematical derivation. Their text book has had a major influence on the application of deterministic transmission models, to a wide range of infections. Other textbooks that followed in the same tradition have extended the mathematics and the range of models considered. Examples here include Farrington (2008) and Keeling and Rohani (2008). The recent book by Vynnycky and White (2010) also fits within that tradition. Their book is elaborate in scope, covering many modeling techniques on a

What's it About?

A woman's grown sister makes allegations about abuse she claims to have suffered at the hands of their mother when they were growing up. The book is about the way that everyone in a family has a different experience of it. The narrator must decide if what her sister is saying is true, and what her obligations now are-to her family of origin as well as to the family she has with her husband.

What was the inspiration?

Noah was raised in the LDS church with a U.S.-born father and a Mexican-born mother – living many years of his life both in Mexico and in the United States. Noah served an LDS mission and was married in an LDS temple to his wife, Giselle. Several years ago Noah experienced a major betrayal of trust by a loved one, which led to a deep exploration of Joseph Smith, LDS Church doctrine, and LDS Church history. By the end of his exploration, Noah lost his belief in fundamental LDS Church doctrine and truth claims, but found great solace and strength in the teachings of secular Buddhism.

This is the original 1962 film of Milgram's Obedience to Authority experiment. Milgram was interested in film and made a number of films during his career. He hired actors to play the role of the learner and the psychologist conducting the experiment. He spent a great deal of time designing and building the shock generator. He wrote an elaborate cover story. He even went as far as to show the subjects in the experiment a book on memory to convince them that the experiment was investigating the effect of punishment on learning. Is this art or science? An experiment or psychodrama. A theatre of cruelty with one significant difference: Milgram measured it.

Several different seals are required for creating the air tight chamber within the wheel hub.
Typically the piston is biased to move in one direction to a first position by a spring. The application of air pressure opposes the spring pressure to move the piston in the opposite direction to a second position. The piston is maintained in the second position only so long as the air pressure is maintained at a level to overcome the spring. A leak in any one of the several seals can produce malfunction of the clutch. In addition to the possibility of malfunction due to seal leakage, the piston will not be

Therefore, there is a case where the size and the dielectric constant of the inner lens formed in the vicinity of the outer peripheral portion may differ. For example, in the vicinity of the outer peripheral portion of the inner layer forming film 205, supply of etching gas will become uneven to give rise to dispersion in the size of the convex shape. In addition, the plasma density in the vicinity of the outer peripheral portion of the inner layer forming film 205 differs from that of the center part thereof.

In her book Beyond Belief: The Secret Gospel of Thomas, religion scholar Elaine Pagels writes of the 2nd century conflict among early Christians. According to Pagels, the early Church apologist Irenaeus championed the gospel of John with its thesis that salvation comes only in and through Jesus Christ–He is the light–while


Joseph Smith’s writing resisted the requirement for correct beliefs,

…Methodists have creeds which a man must believe or be asked out of their church. I want the liberty of thinking and believing as I please. It feels so good not to be trammeled. It does not prove that a man is not a good man because he errs in doctrine,

the modern LDS Church is more in line with Irenaeus than with Joseph Smith, to the extent that possessing the wrong beliefs can keep us out of the temple, the most holy place in Mormondom.

I understand why Irenaeus did what he did–he was trying to maintain the unity of early Christianity, intent on creating order and stability. No doubt the Church Correlation committee channeled Irenaeus in their efforts, avoiding worldwideContents

History

Origin

The star system of Vega is the original home of the Citadel and was the base of operations for the Omega Men. Vega is home to the Psions, who claimed to have negotiated far in the past with the Guardians of Oa to interdict any and all Green Lantern Corps activity in the Vega star system. In reality, this was a fabrication on the part of the Guardians, who had actually negotiated the agreement with Larfleeze to contain the Orange Light of Avarice. Vega is also of critical importance to the activities of the Spider Guild and represents a major Guild nest. Just prior to the War of Light, the Guardians enacted the Fourth Law in the Book of Oa, which provided them jurisdiction in the Vega star
