Vietnam
The photographer: Henry Saunders of Sacramento
Behind the lens: This shot was taken in a small village in Vietnam. This was the first time a cruise line had taken a small number of tourists to this town, and the villagers were very curious and kind to us. After taking this photo, the woman gave my husband one of her flowers.He tried to give her money in exchange but she would not accept it. I love the expression on her face.

Peyto Lake, Alberta, Canada
The photographer: Joe Cheung of Sacramento
Behind the lens: Peyto Lake in Banff National Park is a striking sight. Its blue color comes from glacier rock flour that flows into the lake during the summer. Notice the right side of the lake is shaped like a wolf’s head. This is nature at its best.

Lobster fishing in Nicaragua
The photographer: David Schmitz of Natomas Park
Behind the lens: While visiting Nicaragua, we took a side trip to the Big Corn Island (Las Islas del Maiz), located around 50 miles off the Caribbean coast of the country. We flew to the island from Managua on a single engine 12-seat plane


and stayed in a beach bungalow only about 15 steps from the water. Lobster fishing, the main industry of the island, includes many family operations, like these local lobster fishermen who are preparing lobster traps.

Temple in Kyoto, Japan
The photographer: Lorena Esparza of Sacramento
Behind the lens: This is Kinkaku-ji temple in Kyoto, Japan. I recently visited Japan with my classmates, and it was an experience I will never forget. When I visited the temple, the humidity was unbearable, Chinese tourists scrambled to take pictures, but in the end the shot was worth it. This temple was purely built to show the wealth of the shogun and that he was just as fit as the emperor. Kyoto is an amazing city to visit if you are interested in seeing traditionalJapan.

Rail station near Giverny, France
The photographer: Shirley Hall of Citrus Heights
Behind the lens: This shot of an old Frenchman was taken by my wife, Shirley Hall, in May this year after our visit to Monet’s Gardens in Giverny, France. She took it while we were waiting for a train to return us to Paris. The man appears to be proofreading or editing some sort of document.

Exploring an exotic garden
The photographer: Cindy Philpott of Sacramento
Behind the lens: On a recent trip to Oaxaca, Mexico, my mom and I did a two-hour tour of the botanical gardens located in town. The beautiful garden created by an artist is full of native plants including exotic cacti, agaves and succulents all laid out and connected by a series pathways, borders and bridges.

Zion National Park, Utah
The photographer: Rick Melnicoe of Davis
Behind the lens: The Narrows of Zion National Park, Utah, was carved over the millenniums by the Virgin River. The top to bottom hike is 16 miles long and can be done as a long day hike or overnight camping. A permit is required. Much of the hike is in shallow water with a few places requiring a short swim. The beauty of the canyon is spectacular with walls reaching over 1,000 feet above you and only 20 to 30 feet wide in a few places. Most visitors hike up from the mainthe quake rather than the destruction on the day of the earthquake.

Yosemite Valley in spring
The photographer: Brian Phillips of Folsom
This was taken on a recent trip that my wife, Shelley, and I made to Yosemite. It was cloudy with occasional rain while we were there, but on the afternoon of May 19, the sun broke out, lighting up a section of Cathedral Rocks. We were driving back to our hotel at the time, and running late for dinner, but when I saw this beautiful light, I immediately pulled over and grabbed a few shots. There are also deer in the meadow in the foreground.

An elephant parade in Tanzania
The photographer: Tom Taylor of Fair Oaks
Behind the lens: Weare in Tanzania on the second day of a 15-day photo safari. Our first encounter with wild elephants came in late afternoon in Tarangire National Park when we spotted a herd of about 35 elephants walking single file along the edge of a vast marsh. We pulled to the side of the dirt track in our vehicles and turned off the engines, then watched this line of elephants move quickly along the marsh edge. This shot became one of my favorite photographs from the trip.

Children make river a water park
The photographer: Vic Carbonell of Sacramento
Behind the lens: While cruising with friends along the Dapitan River in Zamboanga del Norte, Philippines, we came upon this group of kids enjoying their improvised playground. Some were in a bamboo raft, others


on the branch of a tree. They were shrieking with laughter and apparently egging one another to jump. They were so engrossed in their pleasure that they did not even look our way as we passed by. The scene brought back memories of my own river adventures when I was young.

Machu Picchu, Peru
The photographer: Marsha A. Robinson of Citrus Heights
Behind the lens: My sister Karen and I journeyed on the Perurail Vistadome to the town of Aguas Calientes at the base of Machu Picchu. From there we took a shuttle bus that crisscrossed its way up the mountainside and dropped us at the entrance to the park in the late afternoon. Most visitors had left the park by then. We had only to show our tickets at theticket booth and walk about a hundred yards into the Lost City of Inca and were greeted by this magnificent view. It just took our breath away.

Pak Beng, Mekong River, Laos
The photographer: Debbie Cole of Curtis Park
Behind the lens: In February 2014, we took a two-day slow boat down the Mekong River in Laos from Huay Xai to Luang Prabang. We stopped overnight in the small, rustic village of Pak Beng. This photo was taken at sunrise the morning we left the village and captures the serene and mysterious nature of the river, as well as the mountains and jungle that frame it. Our trip gave us an appreciation of the natural beauty of Laos and the relationship its people have with the mighty Mekong.

The photographer: Rick Melnicoe of Davis Behind the lens: Jaguars are the third-largest of the cats and found only in the Americas. While on a trip to the Pantanal of south-central Brazil we were taken by boat to an area on the Cuiabá River


where these magnificent jaguars hunt caiman and capybara. This photo was taken of a female who was not too happy that our boat was the only obstacle between it and a family of capybara on the opposite shore.

The photographer: Gus Betancourt of Sacramento Behind the lens: I visited Glass Beach in MacKerricher State Park near Fort Bragg a few months ago and discovered the sea glass created from years of dumping garbage onto an area of coastline near the northern part of the town. Sadly, most of the glass has disappeared, but the nice, quiet and mysterious atmosphere of the town is still intact.

The photographer: David Kalb of Davis Behind the lens: The Chateau d’Amboise is situated along the River Loire in France. It is one of more than a dozen large chateaus in the Loire Valley, a region of France that is both historic and beautiful, from one end to the other. Walk along the river late in the day and if the sun and clouds are right you may capture this picturesque reflection. I took more than 250 photos of the four chateaus I visited during my June vacation.

The photographer: Marjorie Lehr of Carmicheal Behind the lens: We have been to Niagara Falls before, but had never experienced the thrilling helicopter ride over the top of both the American and Canadian Falls as we did this vacation. The Horseshoe Falls is the Canadian and the straighter falls is the American Falls. The


sight of them is magnificent and the sound intimidating, demonstrating, both visibly and audibly, the incredible power of water.

The photographer: Jim Sargent, Carmichael
Behind the lens: We visited Zion National Park in May and spent one day at the less-visited Kolob Canyons area north of the main park. We hiked 2 1/2 miles up Taylor Creek and at the end we were rewarded with this fantastic cave and 1,000-foot-high red rock walls. Water seeping through

The photographer: Larry Anderson of Granite Bay Behind the lens: I took this photo on a recent trip to Turkey. I was in a hot air balloon just after dawn, above the strange, otherworldly land formations of the Cappadocia region. About 60 balloons were aloft that day, and the scene provides both color and contrastto the fascinating landscape below.

The photographer: Peter Silva of Sacramento. Behind the lens: This photo was taken last May during a beautiful evening in the City of Light. Walking away from our visit at the Eiffel Tower and onto the Jardins du Trocadéro, I couldn’t help noticing the pattern of


bridge lights on the Pont d’léna as a perfect complement to the soaring monument behind. Everything in Paris is beautiful and especially at night, when the city glows with vitality and romance unlike any other in the world. A few evenings earlier I proposed to my fiancée, Maria, at Notre Dame Cathedral (she said yes).

The photographer: Dee Stayner of Rancho Cordova. Behind the lens: After shopping at the Mercado Central de San Pedro in Cusco, Peru, I noticed this intriguing man on the steps. He seemed lost in thought, and I was tempted to ask what was on his mind. Or perhaps he was merely another man waiting patiently for his wife to finish shopping. To me, this photo embodies the native culture of the city high inthe Andes.

The village continues to field numerous complaints about the Roycroft Stock House, which is more than a century old and is commonly referred to as a warehouse or shipping building.

about the underlying probabilities in college basketball to determine how much comes down to luck. The answer: a lot. The endings of two Elite Eight games last weekend—Michigan State's victory over Louisville and Kentucky's win over Notre Dame—are perfect examples, he said, because sinking a missed free throw and hitting a three-pointer could have changed the outcome in both cases.

"NCAA pools across the country were swung on those two shots," Lopez told me. "Did the people picking Kentucky and Michigan State make better picks? And did the people on Notre Dame and Louisville make bad ones? I would argue that those final shots were just the last in a set of coin flips that eventually decided the outcome. To some extent, the people on Kentucky and Michigan StateNick Clegg's Liberal Democrats have vowed to face down "ruthless" and "extreme" forces in the Tory party to protect the British people from right-wing policies that would widen inequality and benefit the rich.

At a rally on Saturday night to open his party's annual conference in Birmingham, Clegg underlined the Lib Dems' newly combative approach to the coalition, describing David Cameron's party as "political enemies" who must be taken on when necessary in the national interest. After a traumatic year during which the Lib Dems' popularity plummeted, a poll has shown that only 47% of those who voted for them last time would do so again. Having been accused of abandoning his party's principles, Clegg struck a markedly more assertive note.

While trumpeting his party's successes so far in influencing


last election – and that they rely on the Lib Dems for power.

"Not only did they not win but they got a third of those who voted," he said. "The Tory party is not the dominant party in British politics that it used to be. It is absolutely not the dominant force in Scotland and Wales that it used to be. The Tory right have forgotten that."

In a rebuff to Conservative hardliners, he adds: "There is absolutely no majority in parliament for your views. If there is a coalition government in the national interest, then extreme remedies and answers are not appropriate."

The comments are bound to infuriate Conservatives as the conference season opens. Many Tories are beginning to resent profoundly the way the Lib Dems are already wateringdown Tory changes on health and education and blocking Cameron from developing a more hardline approach on Europe.

Clegg and his ministers are now convinced they can claw back some of their pre-election popularity if they can demonstrate that they are reining in the Conservatives and stamping their own mark on government. Deep division between the coalition partners will surface in Birmingham over tax, welfare, health, pensions and last month's riots. The party leadership will announce it will veto the abolition of the 50p tax rate for people earning over £150,000 – a key Tory right demand – unless other measures, such as a mansion tax, are imposed. It will also unveil plans to exempt the first £12,500 of earnings from tax, raising the target from its current level

It is 10 km north of the town of Chiang Saen while Mae Sai is 40 km to the northwest. Chiang Rai Town, the capital of the province in which it is situated, is 60 km to the southwest. Buses link Ban Sop Ruak with Chiang Rai via Chiang Saen.

The nearest airport to Ban Sop Ruak is Chiang Rai International Airport which is located about 5 km north of Chiang Rai Town.

Golden Triangle Monuments
Ban Sop Ruak's claim to fame is its location near the "center" or "heart" of the Golden Triangle area which was previously infamous for being a major opium growing and drug supply area by virtue of being adjacent to the meeting point of Laos, Myanmar and Thailand. Several monuments have been constructed to mark this spot, including a border reference pillar, arches, photography lookout points and signboards.

A huge golden statue of Buddha called the Phra Chiang Saen Si Phaendin sitting on a boat, together with other Buddhist symbols and animal statues have been constructed on the bank of the Mekong River at the mouth of the Ruak River.

Doctors began using Acthar off-label (uses not approved by the FDA) to treat infantile spasms in 1958.

The product was eventually acquired by Rhone-Poulenc, which—through a series of mergers and acquisitions—became Aventis and then Sanofi.

In 2001, Questcor Pharmaceuticals, an Anaheim, California-based company founded in 1990, purchased the rights to Acthar from Sanofi for $100,000.

At that time, Acthar was sold for $40 per vial. Questcor quickly raised the price to $750 a vial and doubled the price a short time later. Then, on August 27, 2007, Questcor raised the price from $1,600 to $23,000 a vial. Since acquiring Acthar in 2014, Mallinckrodt has raised the price


Acthar is Mallinckrodt’s primary moneymaker, the company is also one of the country’s largest manufacturers of the opioid painkiller oxycodone. Like a number of other drug companies and drug distributors, Mallinckrodt flooded communities with opioid painkillers and ignored laws designed to prevent diversion to the black market.

Federal law requires drugmakers to monitor opioid sales and report any suspicious orders to the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), but Mallinckrodt failed to conduct due diligence as long as the money continued to pour in, according to a 2017 report in the Washington Post .

The DEA began investigating the company in 2011 after discovering diversionary activities among some of the drug wholesalers to whom Mallinckrodt was selling painkillers.

Cardboard tents distributed to Brussels homeless Published duration 29 December 2017

image copyright Belga image caption Many people are uncomfortable with current levels of homelessness in Western cities

A project in Brussels, Belgium is pioneering portable cardboard tents for homeless people to sleep in.

The cardboard tents, known as the ORIG-AMI project, can be transported by users on their backs as they seek shelter.

In Brussels, normal tents are forbidden, meaning that homeless people are often moved on by police.

Those behind the project hope that their tents will allow the homeless somewhere safe to sleep.

The tents will be tolerated by police, they said.

The cardboard was donated by a cardboard factory and the finished product was assembled by a workshop at the Lantin prison, the website added.

like brothers, we went in, the debris was building on the fence and we didn't want the fence to collapse and it was with Graham and Bindy. Now Graham's a particularly gnarly croc. He's bitten me in the hand once before. Bindy is my daughter's namesake. She's a very feisty female croc.

She had a nest. We went in there. Graham snuck up on Wes, grabbed him right on the bottom and just started killing him right in front of me, tore two pieces of meat the size of my fist right out of his bottom, right out of here which was kind of lucky, because if it had hit bone, when crocs bite, it hits bone mate, the bones explodes. It just pop, it just blows up andlove them.

KING: Is there anything endearing about them? I mean they're not lovable. They're not pets.

IRWIN: They're not pets. There's a bloke, (UNINTELLIGIBLE) Casey had a croc as a pet. He raised it up, used to take it to the pub, put it on the bar, then had a few drinks. Look at me pet croc, fellows. Then it grew up. Her name was Charlene. It grew up, adult female croc. He went in one day with a fish to feed it, grabbed his arm and his watch. These animals do not make good pets. But I find them endearing, modern day dinosaurs, still here, 22 odd species, 16 of them endangered. And they're great because they're at the top of the food chain. Larry, these things are


majority in the U.S. House, even though they lost the popular vote.

But there was a hitch. The very strategy that cemented the party’s House majority also entrenched the rump faction of anti-government extremists who toppled Boehner and will menace his successor.

So sharply targeted was the 2011 gerrymandering effort that all but two of the 45 anti-Boehner rebels — most of them now organized as the Freedom Caucus — are guaranteed reelection in politically engineered districts that insulate them from Democratic challengers.

Their congressional districts are so stacked in their favor that, in 2014, they beat their Democratic opponents by an average of 38 percentage points. Only two had competitive general election races. Three had such slam-dunk districts that no Democrat even bothered to oppose them.

With protected political monopolies backas defunding Planned Parenthood. The Freedom Caucus has immobilized Congress repeatedly — over funding the Department of Homeland Security, funding the Export-Import Bank and raising the debt ceiling. Twice they have forced the shutdown of the national government, and they will try again.

It is going to take fundamental change to dislodge the gridlock now baked into the system.

California and Arizona have shown the way out by taking the job of redistricting away from politicians in the state legislature and turning it over to independent citizen commissions. And in June, the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed the Arizona-California method, giving the green light to citizen-led reform elsewhere.

Other states are also taking action. Seven have already set up independent nonpartisan or bipartisan redistricting. In six more states, gerrymandering is under assault


to the opposite field. They were encouraged to waste their first two strikes in an effort to hit needless homeruns in “singles” situations and to drive the ball even with huge holes in the infield beckoning the intelligent hitter. Only Don Zimmer’s passing seemed to awaken Joe and his foolish bosses as they finally embraced Zim’s professional baseball philosophy instead of their amateur theories. Suddenly Joe reintroduced “smallball” to his team, leading to a resurgence and and bringing them close to a .500 record. Unfortunately, the twelve to fifteen games, charitably donated to opponents in the first half of the season by changing countless bunting situations into needless double plays had already caught up with a tired team with only slightly above average talent.

Looking at next year, oneregularly struggled in 2010, but moving senior Akeem Auguste back to his familiar corner spot should go a long way toward steadying things. Expect Stephon Gilmore to bounce back at the opposite corner. D.J. Swearinger must take over as a leader at free safety.

Key Player

Marcus Lattimore, RB Has pedal to metal in weight room to improve on
terrific freshman season. Should be one of the best running backs in
the nation in 2011.

Alshon Jeffery, WR Safety net for any quarterback in the game.
Catches everything. Faster than you think, too.

Stephon Gilmore, CB Had decent sophomore season, but several lapses.
Expect a bounce-back year before leap to NFL.

“Space…the final frontier.” Not only has this classic phrase dazzled the many millions of fans of the Star Trek franchise, some could argue it has defined a big part of the American ideal for the last 50 years. The 1960s were dominated by the race to the moon and Americans were rightfully proud to be the first nation to make it there.

However, another incredible feat happened in 1960 that is largely forgotten today. For the


first time in history, on January 23, 1960, two men, Lt. Don Walsh and Jacques Picard, descended to the deepest part of the ocean, the bottom of the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench located in the western Pacific Ocean. While this feat made international news, the race to the depths of this planet was quickly overshadowed by the race to the moon - and no one has ever gone that deep since.

And for the last 50 years, we have largely continued to look up. But that trend may be changing.

In July 2011, the space shuttle program that had promised to revolutionize space travel by making it (relatively) affordable and accessible came to an end after 30 years. Those three decades provided numerous technological, scientific and diplomatic firsts.maybe the next race, in a million years.

I think the reason people are more interested in space than the oceans is because space seems less obtainable. Almost anyone can become scuba certified and see what's under the water, but very few have left this planet and seen what's in space.

    FACTS

       About 10:00 p.m. on September 10, 2012, two police officers observed a vehicle

drive into a parking lot and turn its lights off. The officers saw no one emerge from the

car and went to investigate. One officer approached from the rear; he saw a flicker of

light, then saw that the driver, subsequently identified as appellant Christopher Hondl,

was holding a glass pipe used for smoking methamphetamine and was heating the bowl

of the pipe with a lighter. The officer directed his flashlight into the vehicle and told

appellant and a passenger to put their hands on the dashboard. The passenger did so, but

appellant opened his door, got out, and moved away from the vehicle. When the officer

told appellant to stop, appellantturned and threw something at the officer.

       The thrown object hit the officer in the chest, then fell to the ground, where it

broke into many shards of glass. A white mark on the officer’s shirt later tested positive

for methamphetamine.       The officer collected the shards and put them into a box.

SOMEWHERE OFF THE COAST OF SAN DIEGO – “Prepare to dive,” the officer of the deck barks into the USS Annapolis' PA system.

It's game-face time.

U.S. NAVY/MC1 RONALD GUTRIDGE

On a sunny San Diego morning, the training exercise has embarked on calm seas off Naval Base Point Loma, where the nuclear-powered fast-attack submarine is stationed. But it's all serious for the officers and crew onboard, who are intently watching digital navigational screens throughout the control room.

Submerging on a submarine, particularly one capable of carrying torpedoes and 12 Tomahawk land-attack missiles, is a vulnerable time that requires unwavering vigilance.

Two periscope operators scan the 360-degree water surface, spinning in a perfectly synchronized dance mere feet apart, somehow avoiding collision, as the officer in charge of the ship'sUniversity of London

That was a politically astute decision as well as didactically informed. These 3 are willing to say things that people with non-Chinese surnames are going to pussy-foot about. Even the one contributor who's voice trembles slightly when describing her parents outrage at the "unequal treaty" more or less concedes that her feelings reflect modern sentiments rather than the historic record.

In brief (sorry, you need to listen, these are my interpretations):

To understand this as a 19th century person might, think 1920s prohibition or 2010 cigarette management. Opium was an over the counter remedy into 20th century America; Opium was the now-lost secret to well-behaved children around the world. [3]

Tobacco smoking, introduced to China by the Portugese, was the technical innovation that built the opium trade. Smoking opium


is much more entertaining than eating eat, so, as is forever true, tobacco was the gateway drug.

Lin Tse-Hsu, the Chinese intellectual, modernist, and bureaucrat who triggered the smoldering conflict, might have been pleased with the long term impact of the enforced opium trade. Lin Tse-Hu wanted China to modernize and be able to stand independently. These scholars agreed that China's defeat in the Opium Wars, and the resulting trade agreements including later trade in industrial goods, was a major contributor to the rise of modern China. So Lin Tse-Hsu lost his battle, but in losing he did achieve his true desire. I wonder if he ever realized that. History has strange lessons indeed.

For 19th century China the Opium War was something of a sideshow and trading Hong Kongwas a trivial cost to placate the transiently powerful foreigners. The Dynasty had much bigger internal problems to worry about.

Opium was a currency in the China before the war, especially after the introduction of smoking (which must have increased the value of the currency ten fold), an alternative to copper. From an economic perspective the war resulted from a balance of trade problem. England was industrializing, and like all industrial nations they were switching from alcohol (locally grown) to caffeine (tea, imported from China -- coffee was not yet widely available). Alcohol was handy for dulling the pain of pre-industrial life, but industry required shorter sleep periods. England was hooked on uppers, but pre-industrial China was hooked on anesthesia. Prior to the Opium War England sent new world


silver to China to buy tea, but Chinese trade restrictions meant England had nothing to sell in return. China was the "silver drain" of the world. The cost of tea was rising fast, and something had to be done.

Britain's attack was a mixture of governmental and private sector action. In those days the boundaries between industry and state were even thinner than in modern America -- and they're pretty darned thin here.

After the 1920s the Opium War, previously an annoyance primarily to Chinese intelligentsia, was transformed into a populist causes to further nationalist movements. So the Opium War not only transformed China economically, it did double duty in creating the modern Chinese nation. So it remains today, there is no doubt that many Chinese leaders, and most ofDespite having the best record in baseball, the Dodgers' pitching staff (and the team as a whole) has been making extensive use of the disabled list.

When you tune in to the Super Bowl this Sunday, be sure not to miss the Dannon yogurt commercial in the third quarter.

No, not just because it’s the first time a yogurt ad has been shown during the Super Bowl.

The ad, for Dannon's Greek yogurt, Oikos, was directed by Lewis & Clark College student Remy Neymarc, 21, and the accompanying music is composed by 2011 Lewis and Clark graduate Jonah Geil-Neufeld.

"The Tease," as the ad is titled, features actor John Stamos getting his comeuppance when he won't share his yogurt. It has no dialogue, just a voice-over suggesting that Oikos is possibly the best yogurt in the world.

Neymarc is possibly the youngest director of a Super Bowl ad in the world. Guiness World Records is looking into thelanded, my dad said "Can you believe that?!"

The next night I went outside. It was about dusk. I was standing on the sidewalk in front of our little house in a small town in Oklahoma, gazing up at the moon and thinking: "We are up there." Deep down, I wanted to be up there too but thought at the time that girls would never be allowed to go into space. All that didn't matter, I was hooked and have followed our progress in space ever since. I've been to NASA in Houston three times, the Kennedy Space Center once and the Air and Space Museum many times. I never tire of learning more and us exploring more. And it all started with a little girl watching those flickering


were observed in the monotherapy group during stable graft and also at the rejection episode. In the monotherapy group, a significant increase in the eosinophil values, in peripheral blood samples and in the intragraft infiltrates were noted at the rejection episode with respect to the stable situation. Following pulsed-steroid treatment an immediate disappearance of the eosinophils was evident. In contrast, no differences could be demonstrated between these two clinical situations in the TT group. Higher rates of eosinophils in the intrarenal infiltrate with respect to peripheral blood samples were observed during rejection episodes, suggesting some role of the eosinophils in the physiopathology of graft rejection.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)New research led by an astronomer at the University of Warwick has found the first confirmed example of a double star system that has flipped its surrounding disc to a position that leaps over the orbital plane of those stars. The international team of astronomers used the Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array (ALMA) to obtain high-resolution images of the Asteroid belt-sized disc.

The overall system presents the unusual sight of a thick hoop of gas and dust circling at right angles to the binary star orbit. Until now this setup only existed in theorists' minds, but the ALMA observation proves that polar discs of this type exist, and may even be relatively common.

The new research is published today (14 January) by Royal Society University Research Fellow Dr Grant M. Kennedy


researchers used ALMA to pin down the orientation of the ring of gas and dust in the system. The orbit of the binary was previously known, from observations that quantified how the stars move in relation to each other. By combining these two pieces of information they were able to establish that the dust ring was consistent with a perfectly polar orbit. This means that while the stellar orbits orbit each other in one plane, like two horses going around on a carousel, the disc surrounds these stars at right angles to their orbits, like a giant ferris wheel with the carousel at the centre.

Dr Grant M. Kennedy of the University of Warwick added:

"Perhaps the most exciting thing about this discovery is that the disc shows some ofplanets were born here there would be four suns in the sky!

"ALMA is just a fantastic telescope, it is teaching us so much about how planets in other solar systems are born."

The research is supported by the Monash Warwick Alliance, established by the University of Warwick and Monash University in 2012 as a bold and innovative project to develop an Alliance with a breadth, scale and impact beyond standard practice in the sector.


group trying to bring a team to town and it was Jim that the Taylor family reached out to in order to get the ball rolling again. MLS knows Jim Kavanaugh and wants him involved in any group that owns a team here.

But it’s not just because he’s a successful businessman. Jim Kavanaugh has soccer in his blood. He went to St. Louis University on a soccer scholarship. He played for the US Men’s National Team in the Pan Am games and the 1984 Olympics. He was drafted into the Major Indoor Soccer League and played for the St. Louis Steamers. In 2012, he took a leadership role with St. Louis Scott Gallagher Soccer Club which eventually led to him pursuing and getting a USL franchise, Saint LouisFC, which began play in 2015. Technically, Scott Gallagher and STLFC are non-profits and don’t have an owner, but it was Jim and some of his friends that have supported the venture financially. Without them this wouldn’t have happened. Jim’s leadership as CEO for WWT & Saint Louis FC is a guiding force for both organizations.

I met Jim in 2014. The Louligans had been around since 2010 and the ill-fated NASL team AC STL. After that team folded we attended various soccer games and events around town. A few Scott Gallagher people reached out to talk about their plans to bring a USL franchise to town and wanted the St. Louligans to be a part of it.

May 2013 when a senior staffer publicly apologized for what she termed "inappropriate" extra scrutiny by the agency of applications for tax-exempt status from conservative political groups.

Republicans were furious, accusing the IRS of singling out conservatives for unfair treatment. The senior staffer, Lois Lerner, became a lightning rod for criticism but the scandal had largely faded from view by early 2014.

Then last month the IRS said it had lost emails written by and to Lerner from 2009 to 2011 that congressional Republicans had been seeking for their own investigation, which has been under way for more than a year.

In written testimony released on Wednesday, Cole revealed that the Justice Department's inquiry was widening to include the loss of the emails. Lerner has since retired from the IRS.

Cole saidthe Justice Department did not learn about the email losses, which the IRS has attributed to a failed computer hard-drive, until news reports about them.

He dismissed Republicans lawmakers' calls for the appointment of a special prosecutor, as well as allegations that the probe was compromised because a veteran Justice Department trial attorney working on it, Barbara Bosserman, had donated $6,750 to President Barack Obama's election campaigns over the past 10 years.

Bosserman was not the "lead" investigator and based on federal laws, her donations did not warrant her removal from the case, Cole said.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, who has competed with Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp for control of the Republican probe, challenged Cole about the outcome of Justice's investigation.

DENVER— A Colorado gay-rights group is taking out newspaper ads to raise awareness about an upcoming murder trial of a man accused of killing a transgender woman in Greeley.

The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center of Colorado has advertised the trial in 22 state newspapers. The group wants to remind people about Angie Zapata, a teenager who was beaten to death last July.

Allen Andrade of Thornton is accused of killing the transgender Zapata with his fists and a fire extinguisher after discovering she was biologically male. His trial begins Tuesday in Weld County.

The trial marks the first case involving a transgender murder tried under the sexual orientation section of the state’s hate crime law. Colorado’s hate crime statutes included sexual orientation beginning in 2005, and the stateIn 2017, Wilsonart acquired KML.

The full title of the journal, as given by Oldenburg, was Philosophical Transactions, Giving some Account of the present Undertakings, Studies, and Labours of the Ingenious in many considerable parts of the World. The society's council minutes dated 1 March 1664 (inDuring his years as a student at Davis High he was an outstanding athlete in football, basketball and track. His long jump record stood at Davis High for 35 years. Henle is a decorated veteran of World War II, having served with the 102nd medical battalion of the 27th infantry division in the Pacific Theatre where he earned the Bronze Star and Combat Medal Badge for Gallantry and Service. After the war, he attended UC Davis where he played quarterback for the football team. He transferred to College of the Pacific in Stockton where he received his degree in 1950 and his teaching credential in 1952. Although he began his teaching career elsewhere, he returned to Davis in 1956 at the request of his former coach, Dewey Halden.


Initially upon his return, he coached Varsity Football, Basketball, JV and Varsity Baseball while he also taught social studies and physical education. Over the next 29 years, Coach Henle served as athletic director (22 years), coached football (29 years), baseball (15 years), and track (10 years), served as the Block “D” advisor (16 years) and meet director of the Halden Relays (9 years) as he continued to teach in the classroom.

Coach Henle is a member of the Davis Senior High School Hall of Fame, the Sac-Joaquin Section Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame, the Northern California Old Timers Sports Association Hall of Fame and the La Salle Coaches Hall of Fame.frigate

frigate (frĭgˈĭt) [key], originally a long, narrow nautical vessel used on the Mediterranean, propelled by either oars or sail or both. Later, during the 18th and early 19th cent., the term was applied to a very fast, square-rigged sailing vessel carrying 24 to 44 guns on a single flush gun deck. Frigates were employed by the European naval powers in large numbers as commerce raiders and for blockade duty. In the United States before the War of 1812, Joshua Humphreys designed a number of frigates superior to any other vessels of their class in speed and armament. With the introduction of steam and steel warships in the middle of the 19th cent., frigates as a class of warship passed out of use. However, during World War II frigates


Master Sgt. Orlando Reyes was taken aback when he was ridiculed on social media for not having a Combat Action Ribbon after being named the 2014 Military Times' Marine of the Year.

While Reyes, a logistician, had three deployments to Iraq under his belt, his duties had never put him in a position to participate in a combat engagement.

"I didn't expect it to go so far," Reyes said of the criticism he experienced. "In today's era of social media and anonymity of computer posts, people are going to say what they want and there's no repercussions. They think, because of the rack of someone's chest, they have insight into that individual."

The growing discord surrounding Combat Action Ribbons — the award issued by the sea services for active participation inyour chest — it's about being a Marine. "

When Dunford named Sgt. Maj. Ronald Green as his senior enlisted adviser in January, most Marines expressed interest in his background and the reputation he'd built as a thoughtful and involved leader. But a loud minority couldn't get past the stack of ribbons on his chest.

Green, a career artilleryman, did not have a Combat Action Ribbon .

"No CAR ... not the right guy for the job," one reader groused on Marine Corps Times'


fight ... probably killed more enemy with his F-18 than any single company of grunts," the staffer wrote in a Facebook posting before thinking better of it and deleting the comment.

The division is a relatively new challenge for the Corps.

The Combat Action Ribbon did not even exist until February 1969, when the Navy and Marine Corps adopted it in the midst of the Vietnam War. It was retroactively applied to combat engagements stretching back to 1961, and later extended to cover combat dating from the December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor attack that marked the U.S. entrance into World War II. The Coast Guard would adopt the Combat Action Ribbon much later, in 2008.

U.S. Marines evacuate the area as an MV-22B Osprey comes into land at Hat Yao, Kingdomin Iraq and Afghanistan, Combat Action Ribbons were a rare sight rather than an expected one.

Andrew Northam, a Marine infantry veteran who served from 1990 to 1994, recalled the reverence that surrounded the CAR during that largely peacetime period.

"[CAR recipients] were more revered when I was in," Northam said. "A guy had three Combat Action Ribbons in my unit and he was like a god to us."

Because there were so few opportunities to earn a CAR, he said, they weren't treated like a badge of authenticity. And combat experience wasn't seen as a rite of passage among Marines, as it sometimes is today.

Northam, who deployed to Somalia in late 1993 to support Operation Support Hope, earned a Combat Action Ribbon there, but did not receive it until years


later when it was retroactively authorized after he had left the service.

Receiving the award, even late, made Northam realize its significance as a recognition of what he experienced.

"When we looked back on our experience in Somalia, we always thought we should have gotten it; we felt a little robbed by that," he said. "We were taking mortar fire, in an offensive posture. It was a little bit of vindication having that."

Still, Northam believes the hype surrounding the ribbon has gone too far. When news of Green's selection as the Corps' top enlisted leader broke, Northam fired back at Green's critics on the blog USMCLife, calling the belief that senior leaders needed to sport a CAR "fanatical."

"Marines do not get to choose their duty stations; you go where youhalf of active Marines in combat arms rate the award. That figure is likely to keep dwindling as wartime deployments are replaced with training, humanitarian and crisis response missions.

Logan Stark's Marine Corps experience was in many ways different from Northam's. He enlisted in 2007, as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were in full swing.

An infantry assaultman, Stark was surrounded by Marines who had already deployed and earned their Combat Action Ribbon. There was definite pressure, he said, to join their ranks.

"When I was a boot, there was the whole concept of, 'you aint sh-- until you got your Combat Action Ribbon," Stark said. "When you're coming up in the fleet, especially the time that I was in, you felt like that was a requirement of being an

those stories, from the Middle Ages to soap operas, followed the same patterns? Why we keep hearing the same old plots?"

Frank gulped. "I thought they were just Jungian archetypes following Campbell's monomyth cycles?"

"Jungian arche—? No! Dr. Neville, you've tapped into the greatest conspiracy of recorded civilization. There are powerful forces at hand that have reshaped history. For centuries we've been fed these, as you say, 'disturbed' alterations of reality in order to brainwash the population and influence the course of future events.

**Darby [whispered]:** Test...test....This is Jack Darby. I'm here with Terrence Williams. We're crouched behind the front desk in the old Accounts Payable office. There is a group of about 20 people – mostly temps and interns from the looks of it – short sleeves, cheap ties...some of their clothes don't fit right, suggesting they're second- or even third-hand. They're standing in a circle...chanting something I can't quite make out. It's too quiet. They're kneeling down now and there's a man standing in the middle wearing...are those binder...? He's fashioned a headdress out of binder clips. How astonishing! This must be their priest. Oh, he's saying something now. Let's try to get closer.

expands faster than the speed of light (the physics behind which we haven't quite nailed down yet).

All this movement is a problem for time travel because, as is often left unsaid, the object is not so much time travel as spacetime travel. If you repel backwards in time just a second or two, but remain in the same spot of the universe, then everything else will be in a different location, leaving you to asphyxiate in the vacuum of space. (You could also vaporize inside a star, be instantly crushed by a planet's interior, or look down and find a meteorite where your thigh should be, but the chances of these happening are pretty insignificant.)

One solution to the problem of time versus spacetime is that the impossible methodcall it, autumn.

Once they reached the barren ice sheets of Greenland, Bjarni and his crew told everyone about their discovery. None of the Greenlanders were very interested in Bjarni's tales except for the astute (and expertly aforementioned) Erik Thorvaldsson. Embarrassed of his hundreds of condos sitting empty in Greenland, Erik was trying to change his epithet from Erik the Bad at Naming Countries to Erik the Foresighted and Wise, so he was intrigued by the idea of founding a new settlement that wasn't covered in goddamn ice. He was so intrigued, in fact, that he initiated a preliminary committee to investigate the drawing up of high-level preparations for an exploratory undertaking as soon as possible. A mere eighteen years later, Erik's son, Lief, bought Bjarni's boat and sailed


Ted repeated, "Miggin grimmer?" This elicited even more laughter than his squeals. They cheered for him with the surprise and enthusiasm one would have when applauding a dog who one day sat down at a piano and played a sonata.

The crew all yelled at Ted at once, bombarding him with their guttural, loopy language. Ted shook his head, trying to indicate that he couldn't make out what the individual men were saying. Snorri put his arm around a crew member's neck and pointed at him, saying, "Bacraut! Bacraut!" Ted repeated, "Bo-krut?" They cheered. They took turns, each man pointing at someone else and providing Ted with a name for him. Every time Ted repeated the name, the crew shouted and laughed. Ted was pleased with the sudden changeof that."

The scientist then straightened up in his chariot and gripped the handle of his hose. Surrounded by athletic sun worshippers, he scanned his feather-clad army. After four continuous years of conquering Central and South America, he felt invincible. He felt like Alexander the Great or Genghis Khan, except he had the advantage of living over an ocean of oil that he prepared to shoot through his hose and ignite all over his enemies. Greek fire might not have been as advanced or impressive as Ted's cannons, but he was sure it would be more satisfying. He lit a small burst of oil as a signal for his army to get ready. The Mayans shouted, the cacophony audible for miles. On the other side of the battlefield, Ted

TREE HUGGER

There are days of sad remembrance,
Like 9/11 and Pearl Harbor Day.
But for me, the gloomiest time of year,
Always comes with Arbor Day.

It reminds me of my long-lost love,
As sweet as sweet can be,
For when I was a younger man,
I had an affair with a tree.

So elegant were her leaves of green,
So graceful were her boughs,
I went and bought a diamond,
And began to write my vows.

I returned to our glen smiling,
But it became a trembling frown,
For, you see, while I was absent,
Someone chopped my lover down.

In grief, I sobbed and wailed,
My heart so filled with strings,
I put my diamondThe end of the 2015-16 season had a stronger tinge of finality than most seasons. The Blues' core was changing. It's the nature of the beast for every NHL team, but a reality that hadn't faced the Blues in several years. In his postseason media availability last week, Blues General Manager Doug Armstrong spoke to that feeling.

Then, the metaphorical dominoes began to fall. Starting goaltender Brian Elliott was dealt to the Calgary Flames, free agents David Backes, Troy Brouwer and Steve Ott signed with Boston, Calgary, and Detroit, respectively. Head Coach Ken Hitchcock announced that 2016-17 would be his final season.

ST. LOUIS - In the 2016 offseason, the Blues were fresh off their eighth 100-point season and their first trip to the Western Conference Final in 15 years.

"I


ACL and 23 days after that, defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk was dealt to Washington. Not long after that, Paul Stastny went down with a regular season-ending lower-body injury. Finally, 22 days after Stastny's injury, Alexander Steen broke his foot in Game 1 of the Blues' first-round series with the Minnesota Wild.

Despite all the variables, the case study proved to be a success. In rare fashion, the Blues were able to reinforce their foundation instead of rebuilding it.

Today, fans should feel pretty encouraged by the state of the Blues. They qualified for the postseason for the sixth straight season. The only other teams that can make that claim are the Blackhawks, the Penguins and the Rangers.

Vladimir Tarasenko went for 70 points for the third straight season. Jaden Schwartz collected 19goals despite a 43-game stretch where he scored just three times. Jake Allen's incredible playoff performance assured Blues brass and fans alike that he can indeed handle the rigors of the No. 1 job. Colton Parayko and Joel Edmundson emerged as one of the League's most effective shutdown defensive pairs. In fact, Blues fans now have three guarantees in life: death, taxes and Parayko will come out of a board battle with the puck.

Looking further down the depth chart, the picture is equally bright.

The Blues were able to get an NHL assessment of players such as Ivan Barbashev, Jordan Schmaltz and Zach Sanford. Barbashev contributed 12 points in 30 games, Schmaltz had two assists in nine games, and Sanford collected five points in 13 games. All three figure


to either be on the roster or on the cusp of selection come 2017 training camp.

The Chicago Wolves, led by head coach Craig Berube, saw great returns in their efforts to cultivate the Blues' young prospects. Vince Dunn, now a 20-year-old second round pick of the Blues in 2015, led all AHL rookie defensemen with 45 points, including 13 goals, in 72 games. Samuel Blais, a sixth rounder in 2014, ranked second among all AHL rookies with 26 goals. The Wolves also boasted Kenny Agostino and Wade Megan, who ranked first and fourth respectively, in regular season points. Both Agostino and Megan are on one-year deals with the Blues.

Further down the pipeline, 2016 first-round pick Tage Thompson led UConn with 32 points this season, while 2016 second-round selectionJordan Kyrou ranked sixth in the OHL overall with 94 points. On the back end, 2014 third-round pick Jake Walman led Providence College defensemen with 25 points, while he's recorded six points in 14 games as a member of the Wolves.

This summer, the Blues will continue to stockpile the talent. They own seven picks overall, including a pair of first-round selections.

At the beginning of the season, the foundation of the franchise seemed to be exposed. But after a turbulent season, the Blues are back where they started, fresh off a significant playoff run. Only this time, the dominoes have been reset.


The present invention relates to air bag apparatuses mounted in vehicles, etc., and more specifically relates to an air bag apparatus for a driver""s seat which has horn switches.
Generally, air bag apparatuses for driver""s seats of vehicles include an air bag which is folded and is fixed to a retainer (also referred to as a container, etc.) at an end thereof, and a module cover which is attached to the retainer for covering the folded air bag. In addition, an inflator (gas generator), which generates a gas for inflating the air bag, is usually attached to the retainer. When a vehicle collides, the inflator generates a gas and starts to inflate the air bag. Then, the module cover breaks and opens, and the air bag expands toward thedriver.
The module cover is provided with a tear line (also referred to as a thinned portion or as a weakened portion), along which the module cover breaks and opens when it is pressed from behind by the inflated air bag.
FIG. 12 and FIG. 13 are perspective views of steering wheels containing conventional air bag apparatuses. In the figures, the upper sides of the steering wheels are not shown. With reference to the figures, air bag apparatuses 2A and 2B are contained inside steering wheels 1. Module covers 3A and 3B of the air bag apparatuses 2A and 2B, respectively, are provided with attaching portions 4 which are attached to spoke portions 1a of the steering wheels 1. The air bag apparatus 2A has four attaching portions 4, and


the air bag apparatus 2B has three attaching portions 4. In addition, each of the module covers 3A and 3B has tear lines 5.
In certain air bag apparatuses for driver""s seats as described above, horn switches are triggered and a horn is activated by pressing the module cover. There are two types of air bag apparatuses with such horn switches. In one type, the entire body of the air bag apparatus moves backward, and in the other type, only the module cover moves backward.
If the central region of the air bag apparatus is pressed to activate the horn, the entire air bag apparatus or only the module cover moves backward uniformly over the entire region thereof. However, typically a region near the periphery of the air bag apparatusis pressed, so that only the side at which the module cover is pressed moves backward, and the other side moves only slightly. As a result, the air bag apparatus tilts.
Accordingly, guide holes, which are provided for guiding the movement of the air bag apparatus or only the module cover, must have sufficient diameters so that, regardless of the direction in which the air bag apparatus tilts, guiding shafts do not knock against the inner walls of the guide holes.
When the guide holes have large diameters, however, the positional accuracy of the air bag apparatus or of the module cover is degraded. Thus, displacement between the attaching portions and the spoke portions of the steering wheel occur.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an air


bag apparatus which does not cause the above-described displacement, and of which the entire body or the module cover is easily positioned with high accuracy.
According to one aspect of the present invention, a driver-seat air bag apparatus is contained in a steering wheel, and comprises three horn switches which are circularly disposed at three positions in the steering wheel, each of the horn switches including a movable member which is provided with an opening and a contacting point, and which moves, when the air bag is pressed, in the direction in which the air bag is pressed; a guide shaft which is inserted through the opening and which guides the movement of the movable member; and a biasing member which applies biasing force to the movable member inthe direction opposite to the direction in which the air bag is pressed. The opening in each of the horn switches is formed as an oblong hole which extends perpendicularly to a line which passes through between the other two horn switches.
When the air bag apparatus or the module cover is pressed and moves backward, the guide shaft moves inside the opening (guide hole) of the movable member. At this time, according to the present invention, the guide shaft in each of the horn switches moves perpendicularly to the line which passes through the other two horn switches. Thus, it is only necessary that the guide hole extends in this direction.
According to the above-described air bag apparatus in which the guide hole in each of the horn switches


is formed as an oblong hole, the air bag apparatus or the module cover is positioned with high accuracy in the lateral direction of the guide hole. Thus, the displacement between the attaching portions of the module cover and the spoke portions of the steering wheel is prevented.
In addition, according to another aspect of the present invention, a driver-seat air bag apparatus is contained in a steering wheel, and comprises three horn switches which are circularly disposed at three positions in the steering wheel, each of the horn switches including a movable member which is provided with a contacting point, and which moves, when the air bag apparatus is pressed; in the direction in which the air bag is pressed, a guide shaft which is fixed to themovable member and which moves along with the movable member; a fixed portion which is provided with an opening through which the guide shaft is inserted, and a biasing member which applies biasing force to the movable member in the direction opposite to the direction in which the air bag is pressed. The opening in each of the horn switches is formed as an oblong hole which extends perpendicularly to a line which passes through between the other two horn switches.
Also in such an air bag apparatus, the opening (guide hole) in each of the horn switches is formed as an oblong hole. Accordingly, the air bag apparatus or the module cover is positioned with high accuracy in the lateral direction of the guide hole. Thus, the displacement


Before and after satellite images of the Rio Grande River in New Mexico show dramatic change in the Elephant Butte Reservoir. (Images: NASA. Please click on the image to see a larger version.)

Continuing profound drought has left New Mexico so severely parched that the irrigation season along the lower Rio Grande Valley has ended just a month and a half after it started, making it the shortest on record.

This has prompted the Las Cruces Sun-News to proclaim a new name for the river: the "Rio Sand."

In the animated images above, you can see a part of a massive reservoir along the river, Elephant Butte, literally turning into sand. Look for the blue lake in the middle of the frame. This is an image captured in early July 2012by NASA's Terra Satellite. The second image in the animation was captured on Tuesday (June 14th). The water just disappears...

Elephant Butte Reservoir, now down to 3 percent of capacity, is supposed to provide irrigation water to south-central New Mexico and west Texas. But it won't be doing that at least for the rest of this summer.

If relief doesn't come in the form of monsoon rains (see my post about that phenomenon here), and winter snows in the upper part of the basin, farmers in southern New Mexico and Texas will have no water to grow their crops next summer. The waterbank is simply depleted.

All of New Mexico is in drought, and in 42 percent of the state, the dry conditions are exceptional — the worst category in the


Q:

Does Neo have any back-story?

I would like to find more information about Neo, ideally something beyond the fact that he's a hacker and was destined to be 'The One'.
During the movie we can see some details about his personal life, for instance that he's a very lonely person, lives alone and that he has some books about philosophy (specifically "Simulacra and Simulation").
What isn't clear is about his family and background interests.
Is there a complete biography for this character?

A:

During the interrogation scene with Agent Smith, we see a file which contains brief details of Thomas Anderson prior to his involvement with Morpheus.

Personal Details
Name: Thomas A. Anderson
Date of Birth:  1962-03-11
Place of Birth: Lower Downtown, Capital City, FU, USA
Mother's maiden name:   Michelle McGahey
Father's Name:  John Anderson

High School Record:
  Anderson excelled in the sciences, mathematics and computer courses. He also displayed some aptitude for English and History. After some trouble with discipline at the age of 13-14, Anderson settled down to become a fairly well-regarded member of the school community. This was mainly due to an increased involvement in sports, especially football and hockey.

From the next sheet we get some idea of his work history, flitting from "job to job" due to his inability to cope with authority figures.

“There was no future; the likelihood of getting married and having children was very unlikely.”

Martindale told the inquiry that his brother Richard, who also had severe haemophilia, contracted the virus and died aged 23 in 1990. In an emotional evidence session, he said his greatest regret was not being able to support his brother in the months before he died. Sitting next to his adult son, Martindale said his brother had been “full of life” before contracting HIV.

“He got a job as a painter and decorator so he spent half his days standing on a ladder – his haemophilia doctor was not very pleased about that.”

Martindale said he had returned to Yorkshire for his sister’s wedding when his brother had wanted to speak about his illness. Withhealthy. Evans took part in a groundbreaking BBC film with the actor Stephen Fry, that explained how families live with and overcome the effects of HIV.

Evans has had a variety of conditions since then, including hon-Hodgkin lymphoma. He was admitted to hospital in 2008 and slipped into a coma during which preparations were made for his funeral. He has since recovered and returned to work.

Carole Anne Hill

Carole Anne Hill found out in January 2017 that she had hepatitis C, having been infected by a blood transfusion she had in 1987.

She had menorrhagia at that time, suffering from heavy periods, and needed a blood transfusion urgently as she was becoming more and more anaemic.

Hill was contacted in November 2016 about getting a blood test looking out for markers of
