to have it emitting a continuous glow while not uttering the classic sonic noise. Also in the episode, the Doctor uses another modified version of his sonic, which he calls a "Sonic Cane". It is similar to a Tuxedo cane, except the top replaced with the upper portion of his screwdriver, with a metal ball cut in fourths attached to the claws.

Ahead of the 50th anniversary special, a mini-episode entitled "The Night of the Doctor" (2013) was produced in which the Eighth Doctor uses the sonic screwdriver twice. The Doctor uses his telescopic screwdriver previously seen in the TV Movie, rather than his updated steampunk version which had been used in numerous Big Finish audio dramas.

For the 50th anniversary special, "The Day of the Doctor" (2013), another versionwas seen in the hands of John Hurt's War Doctor. The design was similar to the one used by Tom Baker's Fourth Doctor. This time the halo and bullet tip had been removed, replaced by a red light as well as a large red dial added to the base. Character Options released a version of this sonic screwdriver on 23 November 2013 at London's ExCel labelling it "The Other Doctor's Sonic". It was established as a plot point in that episode that the sonic screwdrivers employed by various Doctor incarnations all use the same software, something the War Doctor exploited by running a calculation over a course of several centuries with the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors seeing the calculation completed through their models. It is also directly implied

The undersigned's left arm was broken and fractured, her left knee was bruised, contused, wrenched and sprained, she was made sick and sore and caused to suffer *338 much pain and mental anguish, she was permanently injured. The accident occurred on October 31, 1949, about 12:00 o'clock noon and the undersigned claims Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) as damages for her said injuries. The undersigned lives at Dora, Route1, Alabama, and lived at said address at the time she received her injuries."
The original suit was filed on December 22, 1949.
The City demurred to the complaint and on November 1, 1950, moved for a non-suit on the ground that Mrs. L. A. Latham, as lessee, and Dr. Dan C. Donald and Mrs. Dan C. Donald, as owners, of the property abutting the defective sidewalk should have been joined as parties-defendant for the reason that they are "the persons primarily liable for the condition of the sidewalk at the placed referred to in the plaintiff's complaint." The City's motion for non-suit contains an averment to the effect that on May 24, 1950, the City's attorney of record informed the plaintiff's then attorney of record of the names of


the parties that should have been joined with the City as parties-defendant. Plaintiff answered the motion, denying each and every allegation and demanding strict proof. Evidence on the motion was then taken orally before the court. Thereupon the court, on November 2, 1950, entered judgment that said parties should have been joined as defendants and that "unless the complaint is amended so as to join said parties as defendants the motion for a nonsuit will be granted." The complaint was then amended on November 24, 1950, by adding said parties as defendants and amended further on March 24, 1952, by adding the following to the one count of the amended complaint:
"The sworn statement next above referred to and which plaintiff filed as aforesaid on, to-wit, November 22, 1949,a non-suit being granted, she brought this appeal for review of said rulings.
Argument is made on behalf of the City that to permit a claimant "to ignore the requirements of the statute pertaining to the joinder of persons liable with the City and thereby place such persons in a position where they can set up the statute of limitations as a defense after being joined upon order of the trial court, the power to defeat the purpose of the mandatory provisions of the statutes referred to is within the hands of the attorneys for the claimant." It is further argued "that the term `personal defense' as used in Section 503 [Code 1940, Tit. 37] was never intended to apply to a defense under the statute of limitations which


defendants of the suit, and no judgment shall be rendered against the city or town, unless judgment is rendered against such other person or corporation so liable for such injury, except where a summons is returned not found as to a defendant or when judgment is rendered in his favor on some personal defense, and if an action be brought against the city or town alone and it is made to appear that any person or corporation ought to be joined as a defendant in the suit according to the provisions in the preceding section, the plaintiff shall be nonsuited, unless he amends by making such party or corporation a defendant if a resident of the state, but no person shall be sued jointly with the city orTwenty-fourth Street, to-wit, at or near the corner where Twenty-fourth Street intersects Third Avenue, North, in the City of Birmingham, Jefferson County, Alabama." In the complaint as last amended there is further identification of the place as being on the public sidewalk which abuts upon the premises of the individual defendants designated as 2331 3rd Avenue, North. In the statement of claim the place is described as being on a public sidewalk "at or near the Southwest corner of the intersection of 24th Street and 3rd Avenue, North," and also as being "on the West side of Twenty-first Street, to-wit, at or near the corner where Twenty-first Street intersects Third Avenue, North".

Corina Ludwig, President of FunctionFox said

2012 seems to have been a year of consolidation for smaller creative companies ... Company owners made sure they had the right employees in place, and made steady revenue gains despite continuing economic challenges. Now, they are focusing on expansion, scouting for new business opportunities, and concentrating on more focused positioning, to ready themselves for expansion and financial growth in 2013.

Highlights of the 2013 survey (charts available in full survey report):
63% of firms expect revenue growth in 2013 - up slightly from 2012's 62%. 95% expect to maintain or increase current staffing levels in 2013. Across the continent, small creative companies are expecting a better year in 2013, with every region of the US and Canada expecting to83-minute classes each day.

In his insightful new book, Fool’s Errand: Time to End the War in Afghanistan, Horton details the futility of the longest U.S. war and makes the case for an immediate long-overdue withdrawal.

The author began with an explanation of America’s long history of meddling in the region—from the 1953 overthrow of Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh to the ongoing war in Afghanistan known as Operation Freedom’s Sentinel.

Interpreting the Carter Doctrine of 1980, which provided that the United States would use military force if necessary to defend its national interests


in the Persian Gulf, Horton argued, “They were deliberately trying to provoke the Soviet Union to invade Afghanistan.”

During Operation Cyclone—the code name for the CIA program to arm and finance the mujahideen in Afghanistan from 1979 to 1989, prior to and during the Soviet military intervention—Arab fighters were recruited across the Muslim world, particularly from Syria, Libya, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. “It was a right of passage to go to Afghanistan and fight for at least a little while,” he observed. “Some of them stayed, including Osama bin Laden, who brought his construction company and built bases in Pakistan. He was actually wounded in battle against the Communists and really earned his street credibility among the fighters there as part of the Arab Afghan army.”

Sportech bags £91m funding

GAMING group Sportech is targeting international expansion of its football pools business after tying up a new £91m funding deal.

Sportech’s chief executive Ian Penrose said it is hoping to take the pools into Asia or elsewhere overseas, either on its own or with partners.

The company has just renegotiated lending facilities with Lloyds Banking Group, giving it more flexibility and financial headroom to grow the business and to do deals.

Sportech is continuing talks with an unidentified party about a “significant acquisition” which it said would generate significant long-term benefits, although Penrose declined to elaborate.

“Interest in British football has never been higher, particularly in Asia, and we want to ensure we follow that,” Penrose told City AM.

Sportech, which owns Littlewoods Gaming, Vernons and Zetters, had been re-negotiatingtorts such as misappropriation of trade secrets and raiding of corporate employees, ADA claims, and all phases of commercial and real estate finance, construction finance and construction defect claims.

He is experienced in appellate matters, having had primary responsibility for preparing more than 100 appellate briefs.

Kelly M. KING.
No. 28422.
Appellate Court of Connecticut.
Argued November 16, 2007.
Decided January 22, 2008.
Cherie Lee Carrier, pro se, the plaintiff (appellant).
McLACHLAN, HARPER and LAVINE, Js.
PER CURIAM.
The visitation application giving rise to this appeal arose out of tragic circumstances. The plaintiff, Cherie Lee Carrier, seeks visitation with the child of her deceased nephew. The defendant, Kelly M. King, is the biological mother of the child, Devon David James Carrier, who was born on September 17, 2004. The plaintiff's application was filed on the court supplied form in which she had checked the box alleging that she had a parent-like relationship with the child and that denial of visitation would cause real and significant harm to the child. The court made no finding as


further fighting in Iraq, he is nevertheless confronted with the blowback – and his "plan" reflects the only possible means to deal with it within the theoretical framework of libertarian realism. The public opposes troops on the ground – and so the President sticks that in his "plan." The political elites want to aid the Syrian rebels, so he sticks that in there, too. A general who knows better tells the country the truth: it will take ground troops to accomplish the mission. Yet the mission being accomplished is beside the point – because the real mission is winning the hearts and minds of the American people. That’s the battlefield this President – and every President – must fight on.

Prior to April, 1953, defendant solicited bids for five prime contracts related to the proposed construction of a six story, five wing hospital at Evansville, Indiana.  Plans submitted for bids to general contractors and to mechanical trades contractors were based upon a structural steel frame for the main hospital building.  In addition to the main hospital building, the plans called for the construction of a separate boiler house for the heating plant and a tunnel leading therefrom to the main hospital building.  Plaintiff was invited to


report a record of its actual cost increase which resulted from the change in the structure, and plaintiff, therefore, was not entitled to any compensation in addition to the contract price until and unless it had satisfied the condition of submitting its record of increased costs by floor and wing to defendant's architects; that the evidence failed to show that plaintiff suffered a delay in the completion of its work as a result of the change in the frame of the building; that the change of the frame of the building from steel to reinforced concrete and of the floors from flat slab to pan slab constituted a major change in the materials to be used by the general construction contractor, but that that change had no demonstratedall by the change in structural plans of the main hospital building.  A very substantial part of plaintiff's undertaking involved the installation of equipment and duct work in the boilder house and the tunnel leading from the boiler house to the main hospital building.  It appears that the change from structural steel to reinforced concrete frame and from flate slab to pan slab floors in the main hospital building required no change whatsoever in the mass of pipes, equipment and installatiions required by plaintiff's contract.  Plaintiff's contract required ti to install the same equipment and the same pipes at the same locations and in the same places on each floor of the hospital building, irrespective of whether the frame of that building was structural steel


number of statements by plaintiff's officers in correspondence And conversations with agents of defendant in which the claim was asserted that the increase in cost claimed by plaintiff arose from the change of the floors from flat slab to pan slab.  The latest letter in the series to which the Master refers was dated June 6, 1955, and signed by the vice-president of plaintiff, in which the contention was made that plaintiff had bid the job on the basis of flat slab, and that one of the primary reasons for increased cost was the extra expense occasioned by the necessity of setting sleeves and inserts in pan construction rather than flat slab.  The Master was certainly justified in finding that both parties had construed the originalpremises.  The complaint alleges that the contract was negotiated upon the basis of plans and drawings, which indicated a passageway of some 90 feet in length, and Pulse agreed to construct the building and passageway for a stipulated price based upon those plans; that he contract contained a further provision that the precise site for the new building would be selected by the building committee of the Lodge; and that the site selected by the building committee required the construction of a passageway 203 feet in length.  Pulse completed the building project, including the 203 foot passageway, and received the compensation provided by the written contract for the construction.  Thereafter he filed a suit for the cost of building the additional length of passageway, upon


of main track in accordance with plans and specifications attached to the contract.  McNerney was to receive 15cents a yard of earth for the grading, and 12cents a foot for track laying.  Each of those figures was roughly fifty per cent of the reasonable value of the work undertaken.  McNerney began work on the yard under the contract, and continued working for a time after the railroad had made radical changes in the grade.  He later abandoned the contract, and the railroad called upon McNerney's surety company to complete the project.  The surety thereupon undertook the prosecution of the remaining work and continued for about 8 months before it too abandoned the contract.  Extensive changes were made from time to time byplans.  The trial court determined that the surety could recover on its theory at a rate of 30cents per yard for such excess yardage.  That judgment was based in part upon the court's finding that the surety company was without knowledge that the original plans had been changed.  That finding was reversed and the cause was remanded for a new trial.  The court held that, upon the evidence, knowledge of a part of the changes in the original plans would be imputed to the surety, and that that knowledge coupled with acquiescence on its part, and reliance on such conduct by the railway company, brought the claim for extras within the provisions of the written contract in fixing the quantum of recovery.

Prior to trial, the California district attorney offered a plea agreement under which Guarnica would receive the minimum sentence of two years, and Zaragoza would receive a twelve year sentence.   Zaragoza's twelve years would be comprised of the minimum sentence of two years for the burglary, plus two five-year enhancements for having committed prior felonies;  a third five-year enhancement for Zaragoza's third prior felony would not be sought.   Zaragoza and Guarnica rejected the plea and the case proceeded to trial.

Wear parts, buckets and loading platforms for mining or construction machines are subjected to heavy wear from abrasive material during the process of loading and unloading.
In order to increase the wear-resistance of loading buckets, bucket teeth with considerable dimensions are used which are fastened to the parts of the loading buckets which are most subjected to wear, such as typically the front edge of a loading bucket. It is also previously known to reinforce other parts of loading buckets as well as loading platforms for dumpers and other construction work vehicles.

       On September 27, 2007, Warner, a Michigan resident, began a series of explicit internet chats

with an undercover FBI agent who was posing as a fourteen-year-old boy named Colin. Between

September 27 and November 20, 2007, Warner sent the agent via the Internet nude photographs of

minor boys and nude photographs of himself. On October 9, 2007, Warner mailed a package to the

January 2012 ranks as one of top five warmest

A report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has identified January 2012 as the fourth-warmest January on record for the contiguous United States.

In the contiguous U.S., the average temperature for January was 36.3°F which is 5.5°F above normal range. This makes the month not only the fourth warmest of its kind in history, but also the warmest since 2006.

"It's warmer this year mainly because of the jet stream pattern," said AccuWeather.com Senior Meteorologist Michael Pigott. "Generally, for the most part of the winter, it has been on a west-to-east pattern. Meteorologists refer to this as a 'zonal flow.' Essentially, we've seen a lot of storms moving from west to east, and not a lot traveling northward or southward.So, anything in the Arctic is staying up there, and anything in the U.S. is staying put as well. If you have north-to-south undulations in the jet stream, you do get warmer air heading northward to the poles, and colder air comes down toward the U.S. from the Arctic.

Nine states recorded their top ten warmest average temperatures for January in 2012: Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Missouri, Minnesota, Arizona and Kansas.

It has also been the fifth-warmest, six-month period from August 2011 to January 2012 ever recorded in the contiguous U.S. Forty states have had warmer-than-average temperatures.

Alaska Would Beg to Differ

Even though the contiguous U.S. has seen record warmth this winter, Alaska is a different story. Several towns in Alaska have seen their coldest January on record.

Pigott


continued, "Since the jet stream isn't moving colder air southward, it's getting trapped over Alaska. It's basically creating an extreme divide in record temperatures there compared to the rest of the U.S."

Nome, Alaska, has experienced their coldest average January temperature ever recorded with a frigid 16.6° below zero. Other bone-chilling Alaskan lows occurred in Bethel with 17.3° below zero, McGrath with 28.5° below zero and Bettles with 35.6° below zero.

Precipitation Across the Nation

In addition to a warm January in 2012, it has also been dry. In fact, the contiguous U.S. has seen its 28th-driest January in recorded history. The central Plains had below-average precipitation for the month, especially in Kansas. Kansas had its third-driest January in recorded history, while Nebraska saw its eighth-driest January.

"One reason the central Plainshave seen less-than-average precipitation has been due to the weakening of storms coming from the West," said Pigott. "When these storms hit the Rockies, they tend to stall out and weaken in intensity."

However, this has not been the case for every state. Texas has actually seen above-average precipitation for the second month in a row. The state had not had two consecutive months of above-average precipitation since January-February 2010.

If March Comes in Like a Lamb...

The warm trend may continue through the end of February and into March, but temperatures are not expected to be as high as they were in January.

"It looks like the pattern will be similar for most of the country, but not to the same extent," said AccuWeather.com Expert Senior Meteorologist Jack Boston. "We are

The region is home to a diverse range of residents who derive their livelihoods, and their spiritual and cultural values, from the country and its waters. Indigenous Australians have inhabited the region for at least 40,000 years; in the 1800s pastoralists arrived with cattle, along with the Japanese and Chinese pearling fleets which started what is still a major industry in Broome. This cultural fusion makes Broome the exotic place it is today, very different to anywhere else in Australia. Water is important to all of these groups, but their views on how it should be used can differ strongly.

For Indigenous communities, the land holds great spiritual and cultural importance.

Some people see the Kimberley as an area ripe for development. The recent controversy surroundingATHENS (Reuters) - Greek police found 41 migrants, mostly Afghans, hiding in a refrigerated truck at a motorway in northern Greece on Monday, officials said.

The discovery came 10 days after 39 bodies, all believed to be Vietnamese migrants, were discovered in the back of a refrigerated truck near London. Two people have been charged in Britain and eight in Vietnam over the deaths.

The refrigeration system in the truck where the migrants were found in northern Greece had not been turned on, and none of the migrants was injured, though some asked for medical assistance, a Greek police official said.

Police had stopped the truck near the city of Xanthi for a routine check, arresting the driver and taking him and the migrants to a nearby police station for identification.

As is known in the art, the use of a transaxle having a hydrostatic transmission enables the manufacturer to include all necessary elements in one unit, whereby the transaxle is easily incorporated into the tractor design, as it requires only the addition of a belt to connect it to the motor and a control lever for changing speed and direction.

Three teepees set up on a hill that overlook Sgt. Jerry Mundy Memorial Park provided the backdrop and some shade to the 35th Annual Mt. Juliet Pow Wow that still drew strong crowds despite hot temperatures over the weekend.

"The biggest thing is people love to go in and sit down and experience what is was like," said Buffalo Yellowbird, who came from Alabama to set up the teepees.

Lead organizer Cindy Yahola roughly estimated 5,000 attended on Saturday, and 2,500 on Sunday with a few who had to be treated for heat related issues.

"I loved the teepees on the hill," said Cecilia Grimes, a Native American who traveled more than two hours Saturday from just outside Elizabethtown, Ky. "I love this pow wow and I go to a


few."

Attendees observed demonstrations like moccasin-making and different types of cultural dance and music performances and contests.

"The mission is to educate the non-native population in our culture and heritage," Yahola said.

There was also nearly $500 collected Saturday at the pow wow to be forwarded to an existing fund in support of protesters against the controversial Dakota Access oil pipeline being built to carry crude oil from North Dakota through South Dakota, Iowa and into an existing pipeline in Illinois.

The pipeline has sparked tribal protests and lawsuits, as protesters believe the it jeopardizes critical water supplies from the Missouri River and will disturb Native American burial sites and sacred grounds.

Schwarber, a bat-first catcher from Indiana University, was widely considered a mid- to late first-round talent who would likely have to move to left field or even first base.

However, the Cubs didn't hesitate to snag Schwarber earlier than most expected; Jason McLeod, vice president of player development and amateur scouting, stood by the pick, declaring that Schwarber was second on their board behind eventual No. 1 overall pick Brady Aiken. While it's clear the Cubs were higher on


Schwarber than most, even they have been a little surprised by his results early on.

Schwarber's bat has vaulted him from low-A Boise to Kane County to high-A Daytona in just a little over a month. At 6 feet tall and 235 pounds, the kid the Hoosier faithful affectionately nicknamed Hulk has posted a .398/.479/.707 slash line with nine home runs and nine doubles in 33 minor league games.

Raising awareness and knowledge in Pavia Public Primary School students, and indirectly in their parents, about environmental problems like waste recycling and energy saving, developing with games the concept of separate collection of rubbish; creating an environmentally conscious awareness and sense of responsibility towards sustainable behavior. The educational program lasted six months. Data collection was performed using anonymous questionnaires, administered to "treated" students at the beginning and at the end of the program. The "control" population only answered a single questionnaire at the end of the project. It was also carried out an assessment of the fallout of the project on parents, through a questionnaire at the beginning and at the end of the program.


At the end of the educational intervention, a satisfaction questionnaire was administered to teachers. The enrolled population was composed of 1,358 students from 3rd, 4th and 5th classes of Public Primary Schools of the four Pavia School Districts: 938 "treated" students followed the program and 420 "controls" only answered the final questionnaire. The data concerning the pupils' knowledge are expressed in terms of frequencies: at first, we evaluated the comparison between "treated" students knowledge at the beginning and at the end of the program in each class, then we made the comparison between "treated" and "control" students at the end of the program.

Loveless: Maurice Aymard

By Michael Mueller

Disco is back. Did it ever leave? Not according to Venezuelan DJ and producer Maurice Aymard, the man behind the Loveless disco and deep house parties, which celebrate their first anniversary this year.

Loveless brings together the communities around the two labels he heads up: electronic label Galaktika Records, who delve into the deeper side of house, and its imprint aPersonal Music, dedicated to a love of disco on vinyl. The parties keep him and his Loveless family in touch with their growing base of fans. Loveless started its residency at Switch and now regularly takes over Macarena.

This month it’s the man Maurice himself on the decks at Coconut. Keep an eye out for releases of Loveless sessions too so you can keep that discocourt erred in enhancing his sentence.  We affirm.

Balanga lived with his girlfriend, Lori Lindstrom, in a small rental house at 311 North 19th Street in Bismarck, North Dakota.  The house had a basement which could only be accessed through a root-cellar door outside of the house.  The root-cellar doors led to a short staircase, at the bottom of which was a second door that opened on the basement.  This second door was padlocked.  The basement contained a washer and dryer, a desk used as a work bench, and a telephone.

During the summer of 1995, Balanga allegedly possessed a .25 caliber handgun and a sawed-off shotgun.  On August 8, 1995, Balanga purportedly discharged one of the firearms in his yard during an argument


with a woman named Kristie Sherman.  On August 15, 1995, police placed Balanga in North Dakota state custody for this alleged assault.  Lindstrom, Balanga's girlfriend, testified that when police took Balanga into custody she removed the .25 caliber handgun and sawed-off shotgun from Balanga's car and placed them in her own.  Upon Balanga's release from custody shortly thereafter, Lindstrom testified that she gave the firearms back to him.

Ryan Clark joins His and Hers and explains why he believes the Lakers should retire both Kobe Bryant's jersey No. 8 and 24. (0:59)

LOS ANGELES -- For much of the 2015-16 season, the Los Angeles Lakers have been trying to balance the development of their younger players while also celebrating Kobe Bryant, who is retiring after his 20th campaign in the NBA.

Although the season isn't over, the Lakers sit at 8-28, and general manager Mitch Kupchak told ESPN that this season is about Bryant.

Any plans to more frequently feature their younger core are on hold until he is gone.

"Under normal circumstances [in a season like this], at some point, you would probably concentrate on just developing all your young players," Kupchak told ESPN on Tuesday. "But we can'tforward Julius Randle (No. 7 in '14) were both lottery picks. Jordan Clarkson was a second-round pick in 2014 who became an All-Rookie First-Team selection. Rookie forward Larry Nance Jr. also has emerged as a promising player.

Yet at various points during a season that still hasn't reached its halfway point, those players' minutes and even their roles have fluctuated dramatically. Russell and Randle, for example, started the team's first 20 games before being moved to the bench. Nance is starting in place of Randle. Clarkson is perhaps the steadiest of the group, averaging 14.8 points in 32 minutes per game even if the lineup has shifted around him plenty.

Meanwhile, the 37-year-old Bryant has been a focus, with Lakers coach Byron Scott adamantly supporting his former teammate at every


this time, but Adam tells PEOPLE the family believes it may have been a heart attack.

The voyage began on March 18 in Florida, and was scheduled to make various Caribbean stops including the Bahamas and Puerto Rico. The cruise will continue, with additional musicians performing in tribute to Hashian.

The late drummer played on nearly every song (save for “Rock & Roll Band”) on Boston’s eponymous 1976 debut. The album, which included the smash hit “More Than a Feeling,” sold upwards of 25 million copies, making it among the biggest sellers in music history.

In addition to wife Suzanne, daughter Aja and son Adam, Hashian is survived by his daughter Lauren as well as granddaughter Jasmine, her child with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

Johnson posted a tribute on Instagram Thursday, writing,charged with practicing without a medical license.

Upon punching the breastplate of the defender, the WR must push forward with one hand while pulling with the opposite hand, turning the hips of the defender. If the WR has a preferred outside release, he should push with his outside arm and pull with his inside arm, knocking the defender off balance. He releases inside calls with the same technique. However, the WR must now push with his inside arm and pull with his outside arm. After knocking the defender off balance, the WR must step upfield closing the cushion between the two and violently rip his pull arm underneath the defenderís arm. Thisallows for separation. The WR now has cleared the way to continue his route upfield.

James Castle and John Rodgers of Clemson University think the same thing happened during the five largest mass extinctions in Earth's history. Each time a large die off occurred, they found a spike in the number of fossil algae mats called stromatolites strewn around the planet. Castle will be presenting the research on Monday, 19 October at the annual meeting of the Geological Society of American in Portland, Oregon.

"If you go through theories of mass extinctions, there are always some unanswered questions," Castle said. "For example, an impact - how does that cause species to go extinct? Is it climate change, dust in the atmosphere? It's probably not going to kill off all these species on its own."

But as the nutrient-richfallout from the disaster lands in the water, it becomes food for algae. They explode in population, releasing chemicals that can act as anything from skin irritants to potent neurotoxins. Plants on land can pick up the compounds in their roots, and pass them on to herbivorous animals.

If the theory is right, it answers a lot of questions about how species died off in the ancient world. It also raises concerns for how today's algae may damage the ecosystem in a warmer world.

"Algae growth is favored by warmer temperatures," Castle said. "You get accelerated metabolism and reproduction of these organisms, and the effect appears to be enhanced for species of toxin-producing cyanobacteria."

On the other hand, for the cleaning of theCounty Officials Shutting ICE Out Of Local Jails

Enlarge this image toggle caption Matt Katz/WNYC Matt Katz/WNYC

While the aggressive immigration enforcement policies of the Trump administration continue nearly unabated at the national level, activists on the left are succeeding on a smaller scale as they persuade local governments to end jail contracts with ICE. Their hope is that shutting ICE out of the jails that hold immigrants awaiting deportation and court hearings will pressure the Trump administration to loosen its "zero tolerance" policy toward undocumented immigrants.

Local officials are yielding to this scaled-down localized version of the #AbolishICE movement in both liberal and conservative areas. In California, local governments in Contra Costa County, Sacramento County and the city of Santa Ana recently pulled out of their contracts with ICE. The


same thing happened in Williamson County, Texas, which will no longer hold immigrants come this January, and in Atlanta, where the mayor issued an executive order to stop accepting ICE detainees.

The latest success for the movement was in Hudson County, N.J.

When local legislators in the diverse and Democratic county met in July to renew a long-standing contract with the federal government to detain immigrants, they quietly voted on the deal without so much as announcing it beforehand on the meeting agenda.

The resulting firestorm blindsided the all-Democratic board of freeholders, which runs the county. A group of local religious leaders sued. Protests outside the Hudson County jail, which detains nearly 700 immigrants, grew so loud that the jail director said the noise stirred a near riot in an immigranttell of abuse they suffered there, including sexual assault by other ICE inmates.

"My experience at Hudson was some of the worst of my life," said Leisvel Gonzalez, a 25-year-old from Cuba. "I was a victim of rape."

Gonzalez said that he reported two incidents of rape to a corrections officer who works with ICE, but nothing happened. He then pointed to the officer, who was in the crowd at the meeting. The officer — a corrections department lieutenant who is the jail's ICE liaison — confirmed that he was indeed told about the incident.

The jail director, Ron Edwards, then interjected to say he would investigate the incidents. He added that he has a zero tolerance policy for assaults.

But there's another wrinkle to the situation for immigrants at the jail,


who now make up the majority of inmates. Almost all of them were picked up by ICE in New York, which makes them eligible for pro bono legal representation provided through city and state funds. With detainees moved out of Hudson County, they could be sent far away, without access to their free attorneys. Immigrants without lawyers are far likelier to be deported.

"Families and lawyers and their community are here," said Ryan Brewer of the Bronx Defenders, a public defender agency that represents detainees. He said immigrants need to be in proximity to legal resources to "to actually win their cases and remain permanently in the United States, or obtain release on bond."

Others wanted to keep the contract as it is. Democrats in Hudson County had initially arguedThe Ultimate Fighter is back for its 27th season and with a previously unexplored premise, as it will feature sixteen undefeated fighters.

The fighters will compete in the featherweight and lightweight divisions and will be coached by UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic and light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier, who will square off in the main event of UFC 226 in Las Vegas on July 7. The winner of the show will be determined on the night prior at The Ultimate Fighter 27 Finale at The Pearl at the Palms.

While there can only be two winners, every fighter from the show will still be considered undefeated until the finale as the fights on the show are considered exhibitions on their official records.

The two hour premiere episode airs this Wednesday at


10:00 pm ET on TSN5.

Here is some background information to familiarize you with the cast.

Featherweight:

Brad Katona: Katona is the show’s lone Canadian and the 26-year-old, 6-0 featherweight has been fighting in Western Canada’s regional scene since he was 23.

Katona has shown his diversity by winning at least one fight by KO, submission and decision.

While his game is well-rounded, he is a decorated striker, having won the gold medal at the Canadian Golden Gloves boxing championship in 2013.

In addition to fighting, Katona also has a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Manitoba.

Ricky Steele: Nicknamed “The Karate Kid”, Steele is a 29-year-old with a 5-0 with two of those wins coming in RFA (now LFA), one of the premiere promotions outside of the UFC. All ofmixed martial arts career, with his first professional fight coming at age 29.

Perry is coming off of two straight split decision wins in the highly touted LFA promotion. “3G” is used to fighting as a bantamweight and has done a great job of utilizing his wrestling to control his opponents, which impressive considering his karate background.

Perry uses his karate offensively and pushes forward with a bevy of creative striking techniques. He switches stances and utilizes a diverse arsenal of kicks.

Suman Mokhtarian: Mokhtarian has made a name for himself in the Australian MMA scene. He is the owner and head coach of Australian Top Team, which includes his brother UFC flyweight Ashkan Mokhtarian and women’s strawweight Nadia Kassem.

Mokhtarian started his professional career at 20 years of age and has


amassed an 8-0 record with six of those wins coming by submission. One of those submissions was an exceptionally rare tee pee choke and another was by twister, which is also a seldomly executed submission.

Mokhtarian utilizes a combination of Muay Thai and polished ground work to be an all-around threat to his opponent.

On top of being an undefeated fighter and gym owner, Mokhtarian is also the fight promoter of Urban Fight Night, a New South Wales, Australia-based promotion with 14 events under its belt.

Bryce Mitchell: When you have a nickname like “Thug Nasty”, it had better be justified and for Mitchell it certainly is. Mitchell started his professional career with eight straight submission finishes and some of those wins came in high level organizations like the World Seriesof Fighting (now Professional Fighters League) and Legacy FC (now LFA).

Mitchell is currently the V3 Fights featherweight champion and while his striking is a work in progress, his nickname could also be fly paper, because once he gets top control, his opponent often has nowhere to go.

Mitchell is one of the more crafty fighters on the ground and is able to secure chokes using very unorthodox methods. At just 23-years of age, Mitchell is one of the brightest prospects on the show and regardless of how he does on the series, the UFC should definitely secure his services in a long-term capacity.

Mitchell is the 3rd ranked featherweight prospect on Flo Combat’s meticulously curated North American prospect rankings.

Tyler Diamond: Diamond is the latest in the stable of talent to


featherweight on Flo Combat’s North American prospect rankings.

Jay Cucciniello: The lone European entry in the featherweight division, the Spaniard Cucciniello has earned all eight of his wins by stoppage, which should make him an exciting fighter to watch in this competition.

Cucciniello trains alongside Luke Barnatt, another European and Ultimate Fighter alumni.

At 31, Cucciniello is one of the oldest fighters on the show and also one of the most unpolished when it comes to striking. He has faced some major adversity in the cage and in one fight against Victor Marinho, he got knocked down twice, but was able to bounce back and knock Marinho down before finishing him with strikes.

With many of his fights coming on regional cards that have not produced a lot of talent, it willof age, Giannetti is the youngest competitor on the show and he has a lot of upside. Giannetti, who is ranked 5th in the lightweight division of Flo Combat’s North American prospect rankings, has submission wins in five of his six fights.

The one knock against the up and coming Giannetti is that he has yet to beat a fighter with a winning record.

Giannetti possesses diverse striking and is dangerous anywhere that the fight goes. Recently, Giannetti was tested against Keenan Raymond, who was winning both rounds of their fight from top position until Giannetti was able to secure a d’arce choke from bottom and get the win, showing his ability to battle adversity.

With the level of competition taking a step up in this competition, it will be a


big test to see how far along the young prospect is.

John Gunther: In contrast to Giannetti, the 32-year-old Gunther is the oldest competitor on the show.

Training in Cleveland with UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic and his Strong Style Fight Team, Gunther has a wealth of experience having competed eight times as an amateur before going pro in 2015. Since then, he has amassed a 6-0 record, which includes a knockout win over Devonte Smith, another highly touted lightweight.

Gunther, who is known to sport many interesting moustaches, is a relentless fighter who moves forward and uses his aggressive striking to set up takedowns and follow them up with vicious ground and pound.

In the fight against Smith, he was hit with some big shots on the feet, but eventually worewho passed away one day before Pena celebrated his second birthday, is one to watch.

The Italian-born Pena stands at 6’3”, which is gigantic for a lightweight. By comparison, he is three inches taller than Nate Diaz, who is one of the tallest fighters in the division.

The 4-0 Pena has won his last three fights by submission and won his professional debut by knockout.

He is the 17th ranked lightweight on the Flo Combat North American prospect rankings.

The 24-year-old has a lot going for him. He is very good at utilizing his reach and is content to keep the fight standing as long as he is finding his range and having success with it.

He is also very crafty on the ground, able to transition well and reverse position when needed.


He also has quite the arsenal of submission attacks that he is not shy about implementing.

Richie Smullen: The 26-year-old native of Arklow, Ireland trains with Conor McGregor at SBG Ireland.

Smullen told The Mac Life that he was able to attend the tryouts for this season of The Ultimate Fighter due to his teammate Artem Lobov, himself an alumni of the show, paid for him to go to Las Vegas to try out for the show.

The 3-0-1 Smullen has yet to face any established competition and will enter the competition having finished two of his wins by leg lock submission and another by knockout. His biggest test was his last fight at BAMMA 30 against Rhys McKee, another top European prospect, that resulted in a majority draw.

Despite being scoreda draw, Smullen appeared to have more success in the fight and also showed that he was able to get out of tough spots.

He has good takedowns, precise striking and an attack-first mentality.

Mike Trizano: The 25-year-old Trizano most recently fought at featherweight, but at 5’11”, that weight cut may have been too much for him in an environment like The Ultimate Fighter and may be where his future lies if he signs with the UFC.

Trizano trains with UFC talent like Jimmie Rivera, Shane Burgos and Julio Arce at Tiger Schulmann’s in New Jersey.

Given that he started training at age 17, Trizano is a natural. He has great standup skills and an even more impressive ground game.

His last fight in November that took place on the preliminary card of


Bellator 186, Trizano showed an all-around game and a lot of innovation, eventually winning by anaconda choke.

With four of his six wins coming inside the distance, Trizano looks to have a lot of potential.

Allan Zuniga: Zuniga looks to become the first UFC fighter of Costa Rican descent and at 13-0, he has the most professional victories out of any contestant on the show.

Zuniga is also the only fighter on the show to hold a win over a UFC veteran with a win over Marcin Bandel in 2016.

The 25 year old Zuniga started his career at 18 years of age on the regional scene in Costa Rica.

The stocky Zuniga wins fights mostly with a combination of toughness and powerful striking. He’ll take a shot to land two of his“He stepped into a mess,” said architectural historian Michael Sean Sullivan, who consulted with Daniels on the project. Seattle had already been shocked by the 1992 wrecking of the historic Music Hall Theatre, and other losses. Historic churches in other cities were similarly threatened, and preservation of the First United Methodist Church building, the last of its kind in the center of Seattle, quickly became a national cause célèbre. It was one of the nation’s Most Endangered Historic Places, according to a list prepared by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

National support helped, but it didn’t get the project done. What made it pencil for Daniels is the rest of the half-block parcel, which had held a mid-century church activities building. It just happened to be big enough


to replace with a tower alongside the church.

Daniels approached the church with a proposal and won approval in 2007. He worked with architect ZGF to come up with a redevelopment plan. The great recession would come and go, delaying construction after a start in 2008, so that The Mark did not top out until 2016. The renovation of The Sanctuary didn’t begin until late in 2015.

Daniels had taken on a big problem along with his property deal. The old church building had to be rebuilt in order to be saved. The century-old original structure, with bricks laid by the hands of church members, was cracked. And to meet modern seismic code, the walls had to be thickened from the inside with about 10 inches of steel and concrete.

Donesatisfy evolving city standards for bringing old structures up to modern code, it had to be reinforced with a specially formulated hard coating. “Like a 747,” Daniels said.

Most of the magnificent full-wall pipe organ was shipped to a church in Oregon, with only a few pipes remaining for decoration. The restored concert grand, once belonging to the congregation and eventually found on Craigslist, now has a place of honor next to the silent organ wall.

Next door in The Mark, five-star international hotel guests will bask in luxury in the lower floors, and the offices above will get power views. The mixed-use office and luxury hotel-in-a-tower is a dramatic counter to the weight of the historic money sink next


door.

According to Seattle architect Allyn Stellmacher, the tight site led directly to the faceted glass and steel geometry of the tower. The tower cants slightly away from its base into the air space over two historic structures: The Sanctuary and the Rainier Club, on the western half of the block.

The relationship between The Mark and The Sanctuary is complicated. They’re joined through a ground-level atrium that envelops much of The Sanctuary’s historic brick and terra cotta exterior wall. Structural bracing leading to the tower above adds to the drama of the in-between space. In addition to serving as part of a passage between the old and new buildings, it will be used as a reception area for events in The Sanctuary.most popular options to settle the debt with the New York Department of Taxation are an Installment Agreement (also known as a Payment Plan), and an Offer in Compromise. The first option allows the taxpayer to pay off the debt within a certain timeframe in equal monthly installments. The second is an agreement between the taxpayer and the New York State that allows the taxpayer to avoid full payment of the debt. Instead, the state agrees to compromise on a smaller amount, as long as this amount is the absolute maximum a taxpayer can pay without experiencing economic hardship. In both cases, a taxpayer has to stay compliant with all tax obligations from this point forward.

Compliance is one of the most important conditions that must be satisfied before


True-to-Life Combat

Tales of the Vietnam War told without popular myths

July 13, 1990

By Jeff Danziger

SOME years ago a man I knew completed the manuscript of a novel based on his experiences in Vietnam. The story was pretty much standard-issue war novel, all about young men losing their innocence, their minds, and their lives, filled with depressing and ultimately purposeless violence. He went to one of the major publishers with it. After four months he got a letter saying they appreciated the opportunity he had given them to read it but that they didn't see it as a publishable work. If he wanted to stop by the office, however, the editor who had read it would be willing to talk to him about what she felt were the book's failings.

Dutifully,and because fledgling authors clutch at straws, he went in. The editor was a young woman who had been in elementary school during the years of the war. She carefully explained that the problem she had with the book was that the main characters didn't seem to act the way she thought soldiers acted. They weren't close to one another. She said she thought that soldiers were extremely close because they ... well, like, you know, faced death and all.

The author, not wanting to argue, agreed that sometimes soldiers became very close because of shared danger. But it was his experience that the army was actually a fundamentally lonely place, and men who were there by reason of the draft tended to regard it as a prison.

Yes, she


said, but that didn't really seem like what she thought the army was like.

At this point, my friend realized that whatever had really happened in Vietnam was immaterial. People not involved in a war have a concept derived from movies and television, and they assume it's the real thing. He agreed that she had a point and said he would try a rewrite.

Which brings us to Tim O'Brien's books. In the face of what America has been led to believe about the war, O'Brien has been able to remain true to his memory. His stories never forget the utter hopelessness and loneliness of the fighting. It was hot work, sweaty and stultifying. It was vast periods of boredom punctuated by moments of white terror. American soldiers were liedto and bossed around by the conniving and the stupid.

Making people sit still and read such unpleasant reminders takes a certain cleverness. ``The Things They Carried,'' the first story in this collection of interrelated pieces, is beguiling in its detail.

The reader is trapped by curiosity. The details add up, rounding out a picture of the overburdened American soldier, weighed down by all the equipment the Pentagon has decided he needs - gargantuan radios and grenades and rifles and steel helmets and rockets and machine guns and cans of food - slogging through equatorial heat looking for people he didn't know enough to hate for the purpose of killing them.

But there's more than just materiel. O'Brien's soldiers carry bits of home: memories, letters, mistaken ideas, hints of tunes, and


very slowly.

The stories are linked in an inexact way. Some take place in Vietnam, some back in the United States, some are during the war, and some years after. But O'Brien, who won the National Book Award in 1979 for ``Going After Cacciato,'' has twisted them together like the rags of an escape line. It's fair to say that he has written of nothing else, and it is hard to imagine him ever writing of anything else. He is a prisoner of war in a way, and it is fortunate for him that he can write well enough about it to get published.

If he deserves credit for anything, it is keeping an unvarnished version of the war alive in spite of the vast wash of nonsense that hasspewed out of Hollywood and the networks.

After a few weeks of the freshly scrubbed and coifed yuppie warriors of ``China Beach,'' you could almost regard the war as not such an unpleasant thing. All problems are solved in time for the final credits. And this is hardly overstating the degree to which the popular version of the war, and war in general, has deviated with time.

Layne Heath's ``CW2,'' just published (William and Morrow), takes the Tom Clancy approach, worshipful of ordnance and tough guys. And Danielle Steel's current ``Letter from 'Nam'' (Dell) is the worst thing ever. The further the war recedes, the less one has to worry about the facts.

``The Things They Carried'' is a necessary book in American literature. With O'Brien's other work, it remains possibly

Holiday Stationstores Refuse to Run Republican Ad Campaign

Retailer does not accept political ads, and won't run anti-Democratic ad connecting the party to rising gas prices on pump monitors, the company reported.

April 30, 2008, 08:00 pm

MINNEAPOLIS -- Members of the Minnesota Republican Party developed an anti-Democratic advertising campaign connecting the political party to rising gas prices. While the advertisement was slated to run this week on at-the-pump video monitors, Holiday Stationstores refused to run the commercial.

Republican House Minority Leader Marty Seifert is behind the advertising campaign and told the Pioneer Press earlier this week that his caucus hoped stations including Holiday and Speedway SuperAmerica would run the ad on their video monitors.

The advertisement states, in part: "Who is to blame forhigher gas prices? It's the Democrats at the state Capitol."

Robert Nye, Holiday spokesman, told the paper the company has a long-standing policy against accepting political ads. "It's not as if Seifert had asked and we thought about it and we said no," Nye told the Pioneer Press. Holiday operates gas stations in Minnesota, 49 of which have at-the-pump video monitors.

Spokeswoman for Speedway SuperAmerica's corporate parent, Linda Casey, told the paper that the company does not have television monitors at its stations.

Yesterday, Seifert conceded that the gas station video monitor ad campaign was dead in the water.

Seifert and his Republican counterparts have refocused their mission and plan to run the same 15 second ad on network television stations in the Twin Cities. The ads will start running tomorrow during

U.S. Air Force Admits It May Have Bombed Civilians in Afghanistan

This project is supported in whole or part by IMLS, through the LSTA, administered by the
OregonGiuliano de la Rovere was born in Liguria. (Brusher 432) Prior to becoming Pope Julius II, he was a member of the Franciscans (DeRosa 111), the order based on St. Francis�s belief in service and poverty (Gascoigne 98). These were obviously beliefs which he was able to overcome. Pope Sixtus IV, Giuliano�s uncle, made him a cardinal, (Brusher 432) apparently skipping the step of serving as a bishop. As a cardinal, Giuliano was appointed to the court of Louis XII of France. (Brusher 430) That was an ironic post when one considers that, later, his overdriving ambition was to rid Italy of the French influence. (Liebert 123) It�s even reported that Julius grew his beard, in defiance of western canonical law and tradition, in 1510 after a battle


was lost to the French, as a constant reminder that the hated French still inhabited papal territories. (Liebert 123)

Upon Sixtus IV�s death, Giuliano "eagerly competed" for the papacy but lost to Innocent VIII. (Brusher 432) Later, a second attempt was lost to his chief rival, Rodrigo Borgia, who took the papal name Alexander VI. (DeRosa 104) After Borgia became pope, de la Rovere fled to France in fear for his life (DeRosa 105). Upon Borgia�s death, Giuliano lost his third effort to attain the papacy. He did, however, finally become the pope when Pius III died less than a month after his coronation. (Brusher 430) DeRosa says that Julius spent "hundreds of thousands of ducats" to bribe his way

to the papacy, and then, almost immediately, decreed that anyonewho bribed a conclave in the future should be deposed. (111)

Along with a slight discrepancy in spelling (Brusher spells the name "Della Rovere"; DeRosa spells it "de la Rovere"), these two sources also disagree on Giuliano�s age when elected as pope. Brusher says he was fifty (432) and DeRosa says he was sixty (112). The only reference to his birth that I could find (Julius) states he was born in 1443, which means he would have been sixty when he entered the papacy in 1503. Though he was known as a womanizer prior to becoming pope, fathering three daughters while cardinal (DeRosa 112), he channeled his energies into war, architecture, and art after he assumed the papal tiara. (Brusher 432) Whatever his age or illness, he was described


as "boundless in energy, tempestuous in his outbursts, and fearless in leading his own troops." (Liebert 125)

Julius became pope during a time of great turmoil. Raging wars between competing European powers, including the French and Spanish, had devastated much of Italy, especially in the South. (Cheetham 189) Italy had been divided into many small, conflicting city states, (Lintner 105) and the papal properties had become almost the exclusive property of the Borgias. (Cheetham 190) Perhaps the most romantic image of Julius is that of a warrior. DeRosa reports that as Julius entered a battle against the French, he said, "Let�s see who has the bigger balls, the King of France or the pope." It was obvious that Julius was referring to the male anatomy. (DeRosa 112) Erasmus, the16th Century philosopher, found Julius�s penchant for war disgusting in a pope and compared him to Caeser (Erasmus). DeRosa, however, calls him a "great military strategist" and said that the figure of the pope on horseback, wearing all his armor, charging in front of his men, typifies the Renaissance. (112) Apparently Julius believed that he was operating under God�s divine grace and that anything he wanted badly enough would be given to him. (Liebert 125)

Tumors of the parapharyngeal space appear as painless massess bulging into the tonsillar, nasopharyngeal, or retromandibular area. Most are benign and represent a wide range of tumor growth, from parotid extension to intrinsic growth of nerves, blood vessels, and salivary gland tissues within or around the parapharyngeal area. The anatomy of this area and diagnostic procedures are discussed. Sinus films, tomograms of the skull base and lateral pharyngeal area, CT scans with simultaneous parotid sialograms, and angiograms are part of the evaluation of these rarely seen tumors.

gnawing away at the incumbent hotel sector's profit margins and even starting to have an impact on property prices. The hotel industry has begun to fight back, primarily, it seems, through behind the scenes lobbying of regulators and politicians.

On 20 May, New York officials ruled that a man who rented out part of his NYC apartment for three days on Airbnb – the sharing economy's most high-profile success story to date – should pay $2,400 for violating the city's illegal hotel law. Airbnb says it is committed to fighting the ruling. The P2P holiday rentals marketplace is hitting roadblocks in Europe, too: the authorities in Amsterdam and Berlin, for example, are reportedly considering laws that will make it tougher for companies such as Airbnb and its European rivalsonline and mobile peer-to-peer marketplace for neighbourhood errands and small jobs

One blustery Boston night in February 2008, Leah Busque and her husband were about to go out for dinner when they realised they'd run out of dog food and didn't have time to get any. Later that night the conversation turned to a business idea: an online marketplace where people could outsource little jobs (such as running to the corner shop) by connecting with others nearby.

Fast-forward four months and Busque had quit her job as a software engineer at IBM to launch TaskRabbit. Although leaving a well-paid job amid mounting economic turbulence worried her, the very nature of her plan – to create a marketplace for freelancers (known as TaskRabbits) – just as people were being laid off


in droves, simultaneously vindicated it. "I had doctors, lawyers and pharmacists coming to me to be TaskRabbits so they could float themselves between jobs," she recalls.

Later this year ("early in Q4" is as precise as Busque will get), TaskRabbit opens in London – the first outpost beyond the US in a planned global rollout. With headquarters in San Francisco, the company has received funding totalling $37.7m to date, and now has over 13,000 background-checked TaskRabbits in 14 US cities. But progress hasn't been plain sailing. Last month Busque, 33, confirmed the company had laid off an unspecified number of staff. "We needed to reorganise the team to support further investment in some key areas around mobile, geographic expansion and the business customer," she says.

The last area – TaskRabbitpeople with the tools and resources to set their own schedules, be their own bosses and say how much they want to get paid is incredibly empowering. It has huge implications for the global labour force."
