For Second Time in October, a Father Uses 9-Year-Old as Designated Driver

ORLANDO, Fla. – Just weeks after a Michigan man was arrested for allowing his 9-year-old daughter to be his "designated driver," a Wyoming man was arrested under similar circumstances while visiting Orlando.

Nathan Walter Sikkenga, 31, of Gillette, Wyoming, told a trooper with the Florida Highway Patrol that he and his wife had had too much to drink and were under the influence of alcohol, so he asked his 9-year-old son to get behind the wheel of the family van.

The trooper responded after it was reported that the boy crashed into a security gate. Sikkenga was taken into custody and charged with child neglect, a third-degree felony.

No current telephone listing could be found for Sikkenga and it wasn'timmediately known if he had an attorney. He was let out on bond and had asked for his lawyer when police read him his Miranda rights. The police report did not indicate why the father was charged and not the mother.

On Oct. 8, police say a Detroit-area man had his 9-year-old daughter drive him to the store because he had been drinking. Surveillance video from a gas station shows him telling a clerk that his daughter was his designated driver.

Brownstown Township, Mich., Detective Lt. Robert Grant said the girl was sitting behind the wheel in a child's booster seat before 3 a.m., when an officer opened the driver's side door of the full-sized panel van her father uses for work. He said she was surprised when police pulled


her over.

She said to the officer, "What did you stop me for? I was driving good," Grant told the Detroit Free Press and The Detroit News.

The girl told police that her father had been drinking whiskey all night and that he had allowed her to drive before. Her parents are separated.

The father, who told officers he was teaching his daughter to drive, was arrested and refused a Breathalyzer test, Grant said. He was charged with second- and fourth-degree child abuse during an Oct. 10 arraignment.

Answering a question about new product categories, Cook said the company is going to focus on "only doing a few things and doing them great", but that Apple does have significant new products, in new categories, in the works.

He went on to say that he felt Apple has a long way to go in its existing categories as well, the Mac in particular.

I think Apple can grow well with great improvements and new products on its existing category of products. [...] And we haven't given up on the Mac. A lot of people

2011 Survey of the Afghan People: Growing Fear in Afghanistan

The annual Survey of the Afghan People is the most comprehensive and credible nationwide poll of public opinion on topics related to national mood, governance, security, and development in Afghanistan. In 2011, the survey polledover 6,300 respondents from all 34 provinces of Afghanistan.

The Asia Foundation interviewed 6,348 adult Afghans, across all 34 provinces of Afghanistan in face-to-face interviews for the 2011 Survey. Above, surveyors poll a resident in Bamyan Province.

With funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), The Asia Foundation has implemented the survey since 2004. Over this period, the survey has generated a treasure trove of data and information, and the changes over time in the views and mindset of the people of Afghanistan.

The opinions of average Afghans matter a great deal in a country that continues to face enormous challenges in governance, security, and livelihoods. Good understanding among national leaders and international “influencers” of the views of the general population are also crucial as the struggling nation attempts


to define its national vision while being buffeted by the inconstant waves of international intervention and regional competition.

The coalition partners, dominated by the United States, have begun implementation of a somewhat vaguely defined program of transition of responsibility for security from the international military to Afghan security forces. The transition program and many other important issues related to the future of Afghanistan are being intensely discussed at the national loya jirga assembly, which I’m attending, that President Hamid Karzai convened in Kabul today, made up of more than 2,000 leaders from a range of backgrounds – from farmers and business owners to local officials from across the country.

The results of the 2011 Survey will be useful information for the thousands of delegates to the loya jirga. A subsetFood and Drink | 15.12.2009

Saucy sausage curries favor with food critics

The good old German currywurst is poised for fame. A restaurant in the northern city of Hamburg apparently does the dish so well that it even squeezed a tingle out of the hardened taste buds of the Gault Millau critics.

Exactly who invented the currywurst - that is to say, who came up with the sloppy idea of dousing a boiled sausage in ketchup and curry powder - is one of those disputes which will go on forever.
Hamburg, Berlin and the industrial Ruhr region all lay claim to this culinary delight, but if, as the saying has it, the proof is in the eating, then the city on the Elbe is the winner. And that's thanks to Curry Queen,


a little place which left a pleasant taste in the mouths of some of the world's toughest food critics.Bildunterschrift: Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift: Curry Queen in Hamburg - queen of the curried sausage

When I think of life in New York City, I think of the train I used to take every day. The train we heard in the distance from our bedroom window … the 7 train. You can see people reading newspapers in almost every language in the world on the 7 train.

The 7 train, which runs above ground in Queens, also provides a window onto the city. The New York Times today ran a great slide show about the views one sees from the 7 train. The photos were taken by Jeff Chien-Hsing Liao. Below is a detail from one of the photos (which is actually from under the train tracks):

married. Dennis, an oral surgeon, was living in Washington, D.C., and teaching at a medical school in the area. At Gifford's urging, Dennis agreed to enter into the private practice of his profession and subsequently moved to the Tidewater area of Virginia. He contracted to purchase a 62.5 percent interest in an office building in Newport News to use in his practice. Gifford volunteered to assist him in this venture by making her credit and collateral available to Dennis' lenders.
The purchase price for the property was $88,250. Dennis paid $1,000 when the purchase contract was executed. The remainder of the purchase price was financed by three promissory notes made by Dennis and Gifford: a $51,000 note payable to Bank of Virginia, secured by a first deed of trustas tenants in common.
Dennis testified that he asked Gifford at the time of closing "why her name was on the deed" and that Gifford replied "she needed security because of the collateral she had put up for the F and M loan and... the Bank of Virginia had asked for her financial statement and she wanted protection." Gifford assured Dennis that her name would be removed from the deed "without a doubt, as soon as she got her stocks back and the bank okayed [Dennis'] financial statements." Dennis also testified that he "didn't understand the wording" of the deed and asked Gifford's lawyer "on several occasions if [he] was really purchasing this property." According to Dennis, the lawyer responded that "Gloria's name would be coming off ... as


soon as the stocks were satisfied and she got them back."
After the closing, Gifford became apprehensive about the risks she had incurred by pledging her stock and signing the notes. Consequently, she persisted in telling Dennis that she wanted more "protection," and to this end, had her lawyer draft two agreements.
The first agreement, dated May 10, 1975 (the May 10 agreement), stated that Gifford alone held a 31.25 percent interest in the property and that she and Dennis jointly and equally owned the other 31.25 percent interest. This agreement recited, however, that the loans for which Gifford had pledged her stock and signed as an accommodation maker were "for the sole benefit of ... Dennis," that the purpose of the agreement was "to protect [the parties'] respective interests,"that the "property was purchased primarily to provide an office for ... Dennis," and that Gifford executed the notes and deeds of trust "primarily as an accommodation maker." Before the parties signed this agreement, Gifford *373 and her lawyer again assured Dennis that the entire property would be his when Gifford's stock was returned to her and she was no longer liable on the notes.
The second "agreement" was prepared later in 1975. It provided that Gifford would convey all her right and interest in the property to Dennis on condition that the $35,000 F & M note was satisfied, Gifford's stock was returned to her, and the deed of trust noteholders released her from all liability on the notes. According to Dennis, this agreement "basically set out the


that Gifford might have in the property would terminate as soon as she was released from liability on the notes and her stock held as collateral was released. Gifford merely lent her credit and collateral. The evidence shows that she was an accommodation maker on the notes. She has paid nothing toward the purchase of the property or for its upkeep. She did not list the property as an asset on a financial statement she prepared, and she did not claim depreciation on the property on her income tax returns.
After weighing all the evidence, the trial court found a resulting trust in favor of Dennis. We agree and hold that there is clear and convincing evidence to support the court's finding. Accordingly, we will affirm the trial court'sof relief from Canadians tired of unwanted telemarketing call

Originally conceived as a Plymouth model, the PT Cruiser received the Chrysler nameplate on introduction in anticipation of the 2001 discontinuation of the Plymouth brand. The PT Cruiser was designed by Bryan Nesbitt, who later also styled the Chevrolet HHR.[1]

A 4-seat convertible model was added for 2005. It is a 2-door convertible with an integrated "sport bar" for added rigidity and rollover protection. The sport bar also caused air to flow over the rear seat passengers. Convertible production ended December 21, 2007, but the last 2007 convertibles were marketed as 2008 models. On January 12, 2009, Chrysler LLC, under the private equity firm of Cerberus Capital Management Group, announced the gradual discontinuation of the main model.

On July 6, 2009, after reorganization into the "New Chrysler", the company changedplans to discontinue the model by specifying that it would do so for Canadian and Mexican markets only. On July 9, 2010 the PT Cruiser ended production.[2] Worldwide production totaled 1.35 million vehicles.[3] Note they only produced 1 black one which was a prototype and later sold in Western New York.

The PT Cruiser is a front-wheel drive 5-passenger vehicle, classified as a truck in the US by the NHTSA for CAFEfuel economy calculations but as a car by most other metrics. Chrysler specifically designed the PT Cruiser to fit the NHTSA criteria for a light truck in order to bring the average fuel efficiency of the company's truck fleet into compliance with CAFE standards.[citation needed] A turbocharged GT model was introduced for the 2003 model year. A convertible


was introduced for the 2005 model year.

The PT Cruiser was manufactured at Toluca Car Assembly in Toluca, Mexico. On March 8, 2006, DaimlerChrysler announced that it had built 1,000,000 PT Cruisers at the Toluca plant.[4] The final PT Cruiser built rolled off the assembly line there on July 9, 2010. A Chrysler spokesperson said the last model was Stone White and was destined for a U.S. dealership. In all, a grand total of 1,050,281 PT Cruisers were sold in the United States.

European Chrysler PT Cruiser

The PT Cruiser was also assembled at the EUROSTAR Automobilwerk in Graz, Austria, for global markets (outside North America) in 2002, using the production code PG. European PT Cruisers built in 2001 or from 2003 onwards were built in Mexico under the PT productiondoor convertible, and the GT turbo engine package were sold in Japan in right hand drive configurations. Japanese versions were manufactured at the Austrian factory and were equipped very similar to European specifications.

Chrysler PT Cruiser Japanese taxi

From 2002 until 2007, the PT Cruiser was used in the city of Urayasu, Chiba Prefecture by the Maihama Resort Cab company to serve as a taxi in the vicinity of Tokyo Disneyland because of its fun, retro appearance. Due to its use as a taxi, the annual road tax was not as expensive as private ownership. The PT Cruiser taxis augmented the Maihama Resort Line service to Tokyo Disneyland. Unfortunately, the PT Cruiser wasn't built for the rigors of taxi service, and the fleet became expensive to maintain, with eventual retirement


in 2007. The PT Cruiser was offered in Japan until April 2010, when it was replaced by the Dodge Caliber.

The PT Cruiser was originally conceived as a Plymouth model, before Chrysler's merger with Daimler-Benz.[citation needed] At the time, Chrysler had planned a new look for Plymouth, previewed by the Plymouth Prowler "hot rod". Styling cues from the Prowler, particularly the grille, were used to create the Plymouth Prontoconcept car in 1997. The look was refined, and in 1998, another Plymouth concept called the Pronto Cruizer directly previewed the styling of the PT Cruiser. The Pronto Cruizer was designed as a modern interpretation of the Chrysler Airflow with Dodge Neon components, but the final design used a separate platform. The new DaimlerChrysler firm did not have much faith inPlymouth as a separate entity, and began steps to rationalize and cancel the marque. Consequently, the PT Cruiser appeared in public only as a Chrysler.[citation needed]

The PT Cruiser also resembles the 1997 Chrysler CCV prototype – which would evolve into the styling of the PT Cruiser.[citation needed]

PT Cruiser models included the Classic Edition, Limited Edition, Touring Edition, "Dream Cruiser", "Street Cruiser", "Pacific Coast Highway Edition" and PT Cruiser GT. Non-GT Turbo (180 hp) edition models (introduced in 2004) were identified by a "2.4L Turbo" badge on the lower right hand corner of the rear lift-gate. The GT model (introduced in 2003) has a "2.4L Turbo High Output" badge on the right hand corner of the lift-gate indicating the 215-230 hp engine version.

The PT Cruiser was updated for 2006


in the side impact test. The low frontal scores are in part explained by the cushioning near the knees, designed to protect unbelted occupants, which is not a factor in the EU where passengers must wear seat belts.[7]

For 2008, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the PT Cruiser the highest rating of Good overall for occupant protection in frontal crashes and the second lowest overall rating of Marginal for side crashes.[8] It was the one small car to earn Marginal marks in both side and rear evaluations as well as the only small car to not offer electronic stability control.[9][10]

The PT Cruiser GT (also known as the GT Cruiser) is a high output turbochargedhot hatch variant of the PT Cruiser introduced as a 2003 model. Much likeleather optional) with black piping, a red shifter knob and chrome appliques. Outside features included 16-inch chrome clad wheels with chromed bodyside moldings and accents. Production was limited to 500.

The Chrysler Panel Cruiser was a design study that appeared at the 2000 Detroit Auto Show.[15] Based on the PT Cruiser, it featured panels in place of the rear doors and a wooden floor in place of the rear seats.[15]


Eight current or former "House of Cards" workers claim Kevin Spacey made the production a "toxic" workplace and one ex-employee alleges the actor sexually assaulted him, CNN reported Thursday.

Separately, CBS News late Thursday confirmed that Spacey's publicist, Staci Wolfe, and talent agency CAA have parted ways with the actor in the wake of claims of sexual assault and harassment against him. The news was first reported by Variety.

His representatives on Wednesday said the two-time Oscar winner was in treatment for an unspecified condition.

"Kevin Spacey is taking the time necessary to seek evaluation and treatment," the Reuters news agency quoted the statement as saying.

"No details on the nature of the treatment were provided to an email from Reuters seeking further comment," the newsagency said.

The identities of the workers in the CNN report were withheld because they fear professional fallout, the cable news channel said.

Among them is a former production assistant who alleged Spacey assaulted him during one of the Netflix show's early seasons, and CNN reported that all of the people described Spacey's behavior as predatory.

The report accuses Spacey of allegedly targeting staffers who were typically young and male with nonconsensual touching and crude comments.

Netflix has suspended production on the series, which was slated to end after its sixth season.

The streaming service and "House of Cards" producers said Thursday that one allegation against Spacey involved a remark and gesture made during production of the show's first season in 2012. After, Spacey willingly participated in training and producer Media Rights Capital


in May 1997. Both men came to Atlanta in June 1997 and the victim contacted appellant. The two men met and the victim agreed to join appellant and co-defendant Antonio Brown in committing an armed robbery. Damon Dawson, an Atlanta acquaintance of Brown, guided them to the apartment complex where the robbery was supposed to occur. As appellant and the victim were walking ahead of Dawson and Brown, appellant suddenly shot the victim in the head, then shot him again in the back when he was on the ground. The victim was fatally wounded by the multiple gunshots. The three men then ran away and Brown later buried the murder weapon behind the house where Dawson was living. The following day appellant and Brown attended a Father's Daytrial would have been different.[11]
3. The record demonstrates that counsel was handicapped in his plea negotiations. His only plea offer of time-served for Woods was unreasonable in light of the State's evidence showing that Woods was the shooter, but was reasonable in light of the evidence suggesting a mere presence defense for Brown. Counsel operating without a conflict would have sought a more reasonable plea agreement on behalf of Woods.[12] Additionally, witnesses testified that, after the crime took place, they saw Brown with a gun that he was trying to hide and that Brown made inculpatory statements. Due to the joint representation, trial counsel failed to cross examine these witnesses regarding this testimony and had to forego using this evidence to challenge the State's theory that Woods was


the shooter, lest counsel implicate his other client, Brown. Because counsel's actual conflict adversely affected his representation of Woods, I would reverse.
I am authorized to state that Presiding Justice SEARS joins in this dissent.
NOTES
[1]  The crimes occurred on June 14, 1997. Woods was indicted July 18, 1997 in Fulton County and charged with murder, felony murder and aggravated assault. He was found guilty on all charges in a verdict rendered on March 22, 1999 and filed March 25, 1999. He was sentenced to life imprisonment by order filed April 1, 1999. His motion for new trial, filed April 15, 1999 and amended May 10, 2001, was denied November 9, 2001. A notice of appeal was filed November 20, 1999. The appeal was docketed December 17, 2001 andto bury the murder weapon in the backyard. Harris testified in regard to Brown that he asked her to drive him to Florida; that she saw Dawson cleaning something dirty in her bathtub; she saw him visit her home's backyard repeatedly; and that she overheard Brown tell Dawson that he (Brown) was "sorry for what had went down, and he didn't mean to put him through it." In response to matters first brought out on cross-examination, on redirect Harris testified that Brown had called her from jail and told her "I was with you the whole time."
[5]  Counsel spoke twice with Zimmerman and attempted to corroborate her testimony but she did not give him the names of anyone else who saw her or his clients in Florida.


Counsel testified that he tried unsuccessfully to confirm the alibi by contacting a hotel or location in Florida he had been given and that he successfully objected to the State's attempt to introduce a last-minute witness from Florida who had documents that showed no one by Zimmerman's name had been registered at the hotel where Zimmerman may have stayed during the relevant time period.
[6]  The witness, appellant's former girlfriend Rebecca Smith, testified that she confronted appellant over his paternity of her child while appellant was in Florida during the relevant time period. Smith had no receipts or other documentation to support her testimony that she was in Florida at that time. Trial counsel was not questioned whether Smith was the young woman he testified he attempted to    FINDINGS OF FACT

The bus was traveling from Brooklyn to Washington D.C., and apparently made a stop in Manhattan.

Fifty-three people were on the bus when the crash occurred, said Dan Ronan, a spokesman for the American Bus Association.

While most of the injuries were described as minor, the driver remained in critical condition at the hospital. New Jersey State Police and other officials had earlier said he had died, but then said he remained alive.

The driver is 52 and a professional driver for 11 years, Ronan said. Ronan said his medical certification was current and that he has no violations on his commercial license.

Seven of the injured were taken to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick. Two were listed in critical condition. Five were listed in fair condition.

Other injured passengerswent to Centra State Medical Center in Freehold and Saint Peter's University Hospital in New Brunswick.

Bus is operated by DC Trails, which is a charter and tour bus company serving the Washington D.C. area.

The accident caused extensive delays on the turnpike and nearby local roads.


Tech trading sends soybeans higher

U.S. soybean futures rose Monday, boosted by technical buying and uncertainty about the weather for South America's soy crop.

Chicago Board of Trade soybean futures for January delivery settled up six cents, or 0.4%, at $14.24 3/4 a bushel.

Soybean futures rose on technical buying, as some market participants expect prices to rise further after steep recent losses, due both to tight supplies and the commodity's trading pattern.

"What drove it higher was probably just follow-through on Friday's rally," said Anne Frick, senior oilseed analyst with Jefferies Bache in New York. "We've had a big selloff ... You could argue that there's a kind of a bottoming pattern developing in the market."

Soybeans also benefited from mixed views on the weather for South American crops. World soybean suppliesare historically tight after droughts in both South America and the U.S. earlier this year. That has left traders looking toward the next soy crops in Brazil and Argentina to see whether supply levels will rebound.

Traders on Monday had mixed views of the weather in South America. Some said futures rose due to concerns about dryness in parts of Brazil and too much rain in Argentina.

Futures also rose after the U.S. Department of Agriculture on Monday morning reported fresh soybean oil sales of 20,000 metric tons to unknown destinations. The sales continue a monthlong trend of daily sales announcements, which are typically rare for soybean oil.

Soybeans reached the day's highest levels in the morning. They then
pared their gains after a USDA report showed a smaller amount of
soybeans than

Battle For Control of Public Land in Utah

The LA Times recently ran this article on the fight to control public land in Utah. Now, the story is being picked up and carried by a number of news outlets around the country.

The article's lead paragraph is intriguing, albeit a bit sensational:

"It's a small gesture of defiance - a narrow metal bridge that allows off-road vehicles illegal access to this archeologically rich canyon. But the modest structure, built by San Juan County officials on U.S. government land, is a symbol of the widespread local resistance to federal authority across much of southern Utah's magnificent countryside."

The article is interesting, from my perspective as a native of rural Utah. I hope it helps stir dialog, butEvery classic car has a story behind it…and so does this stunning example. Originally built in Atlanta, Georgia as a VC code Bel Air Sport Coupe, it was painted India Ivory and Onyx Black over a 676 Black and Red trim interior. It eventually shipped to a Chevy dealer in Troy, NC; where our first owner promptly purchased it. He drove and maintained it right up to the point where he could drive no more. The car sat for twenty-six years in the original owner's garage until he passed away where it eventually passed into the custody of a trusted friend. When that friend decided to sell the Bel Air to our third and current owner, it had accumulated only 68,532 original miles. After coming out of such


a long slumber, the new owner decided to give this Chevy a complete and thorough make-over. The Asheboro Body Shop and Junior Needham were given the nod to perform the frame-on restoration. The undercarriage was in wonderful condition and the body required very minor metal work to its lower panels…so the next step was to media blast the entire shell down to bare metal. It was refinished in Vanilla Shake as a single color finish rather than mimicking its original two-tone style. Its stainless steel trim was refurbished and its stylish original bumpers re-chromed to absolute perfection. A few liberties were taken in updating the exterior; an L.E.D third brake light, recessed into the gold Vee-trim of the trunk lid offers both safety and style as does theburdens that the additional or substitute procedural requirements would entail." Mathews v. Eldridge, 424 U.S. 319, 335, 96 S.Ct. 893, 47 L.Ed.2d 18 (1976).
In this case, the notice and opportunity to be heard enjoyed by Munno satisfy the requirements of the Due Process Clause. Plaintiff was informed of the charges against him more than three months prior to his suspension in September, 2002. Additionally, he was served with proposed disciplinary charges on June 25, 2002 and July 16, 2002, and served with formal disciplinary charges on July 26, 2002.

How many more signature games can this guy add to his resume? Honestly, Howard is a beast. He went off for 38 points with six rebounds. He made five three-pointers and made seven free throws. Howard played a great game against Nova. It wasn’t like they were defending him poorly either. Howard found a way to get his shots up and boy did he ever. The first half almost featured a better version of Howard with some of the plays he made to help Marquette establish a lead.

Silver Star: Sacar Anim – What makes Marquette so dangerous in March is the fact that when Sam Hauser, the second banana of this team, is off, there are other players that can fill in for this role. Case in point,specific stresses. The dividing point, which is arranged in the plane of symmetry between the bearing lugs and the joint fork, lies in the region of low stress, which has no effect on power transmission. These arrangements have the advantages that the bearing arrangement is well embedded in the bearing lug, assembly is very easy and the bearing capacity of the bearing is increased. At the same time, split joint forks have considerable advantages for production, machining, transportation and storage.
In the embodiment described in EP 02 06 026 A1, each joint fork half has a flange, which has positive-locking elements on its side facing away from the axis of the spider. This forms a form-locking connection with the driven shaft or the shaft to be driven. In addition,


to one another in the region of their base component to form one flange component from the individual base components.
The base components of the joint fork halves have mutually complementary first sets of toothing in the region of the outer circumferences on their coupling face, so that each coupling face faces the base component of the other joint fork half. The extension of a tooth trace (or direction of extension) of the toothing on the coupling face or of a plurality of tooth traces, or when the toothing is in the form of curved toothing, the extension of the secant through the end points of a tooth trace or the extensions of a multiplicity of secants, form an angle of from  greater than 0 degrees to less than 180 degrees with a plane which is formed by the pin axis of the pin support ed in a joint fork half and by a joint fork axis coinciding with an axis of rotation of the joint fork. This first set of toothing is accordingly aligned in such a way that it can assume any position relative to the joint fork axis, with the exception, however, of a position parallel to the joint fork axis. Essentially, a distinction can be drawn between two cases:
1) The tooth traces of the toothing or their extension or, in the case of an embodiment with curved toothing, the secants through the end points of the tooth traces or their extensions, extend obliquely to a plane formed by the joint fork


the extension of a secant through the end points of a tooth trace of the first set of toothing. The extensions of the tooth traces of the second set of toothing or, in the case of curved toothing, of the secants through the end points of the tooth trace, are preferably aligned essentially perpendicular to the tooth traces of the first set of toothing or the secants.
Means for clamping the two joint fork halves relative to one another are furthermore provided.
The provision of two sets of toothing aligned at an angle to one another on the coupling face of the two joint fork halves creates a form-locking connection between the joint fork halves which is self-centering in the axial direction in the installed position in shafting, in particularhalf of the connecting component are balanced in the connecting component, i.e. uniform load distribution is achieved over the entire cross section of the connecting component. Micromovements in the coupling between the connecting component and the flange yoke in the connection to the adjoining shaft are avoided. This avoids the formation of cavities in which infiltrating surface water and the like could accumulate. The additional mechanical stresses caused by relative motion, which could lead to acceleration of the corrosive effect at the points of contact, are thus likewise eliminated.
The first set of toothing can be embodied as spur toothing or curved toothing, for example. This applies analogously also to the second set of toothing. The second set of toothing is preferably embodied as straight spur toothing with a


the joint fork axis, and by virtue of additional screwed joints between the flange yoke and the connecting component, a self-centering and force-locking connection is additionally formed with the adjoining shaft or connecting component. This prevents movement of the joint fork halves relative to one another parallel to the pin axis of the pin supported in this joint fork or perpendicular to the joint fork axis.
The joint fork axis preferably lies in the plane of symmetry between the two joint fork halves and is perpendicular to the pin axis of the pin supported in the joint fork. The symmetry of the two joint fork halves is easy to achieve in terms of production, but is not compulsory.
The toothing is preferably embodied in such a way that, when projectedJohn Clayton discusses the Eagles' decision to part ways with head coach Chip Kelly and if Kelly will coach in the NFL next season. (2:01)

Chip Kelly stood on the field at Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Mobile, Alabama, back in January 2013 and was peppered with questions about the innovative methods he planned on bringing to the NFL.

Kelly had been hired as the Philadelphia Eagles' head coach days earlier and had already begun scouting at the Senior Bowl. But he seemed annoyed by the idea that he was some kind of revolutionary.

"If you weren't in the room with Amos Alonzo Stagg and Knute Rockne, then you stole it from somebody," Kelly said often. "We didn't invent this."

But the truth is, he did do things differently in Philly:

The Eagles ran a


the simplest of tasks. They became more predictable, and defensive coordinators adjusted. Despite the innovative practice philosophy, Kelly coached a team that turned the ball over 65 times since the start of the 2014 season, more than any other team in the league.

The sports science program and practice schedule were supposed to help the Eagles peak late in the season. Yet in 2014, the team started out 9-3 before losing three of their last four and missing the playoffs. They have stumbled down the stretch this year, too, getting outscored 78-41 in back-to-back losses to the Arizona Cardinals and Washington Redskins.

Culture was supposed to be greater than scheme. That's what NFL Films caught Kelly telling a player on the sidelines last summer. However, during Kelly's first training camp,when wide receiver Riley Cooper was caught on video using a racial slur, he was sent away for just four days before returning. Neither Kelly nor the organization specified how Cooper had spent his time. The next offseason, the Eagles signed him to a contract extension.

The word Kelly constantly harped on was execution. But players are not robots. If they executed perfectly, every coach would look like a genius. When players fail to execute, it ultimately means they are not good enough or the coaches are not doing their jobs.

That's why after the 2014 season Kelly wrestled full personnel control away from general manager Howie Roseman. Kelly overhauled the roster, trading LeSean McCoy to


called plays -- impacted the league for three years. He is a football lifer, and he will eventually find a new home. At some point, whether it's this offseason or down the road, he might even get another chance to coach in the NFL.

If and when that happens, though, it will be up to Kelly to examine why his tenure in Philadelphia didn't work. If he tries to bring the same philosophies to a new coaching stop -- harping on execution and hoping for a different outcome with new players -- the experiment once again will lead to unsatisfying results.IP NEWS

An unknown number of structures has burned. Some 200,000 residents have been evacuated, a Los Angeles County Fire Department spokesman said.

By 12:30 p.m., the city of Malibu said the blaze was headed for populated areas of the sprawling, coastal municipality.

"Fire is burning out of control, heading into populated areas of Malibu. All residents evacuate now," the city tweeted.

The Woolsey and nearby Hill fires on Thursday forced the park service to close its sites in the Santa Monica Mountains – where a patchwork of federal and state land provides hiking, recreation opportunities and open space to Southern Californians.

Originallypart of Rancho Las Virgenes, the 2,700-acre property was purchased by Paramount Pictures in 1927 to create a "movie ranch," according to the park service. Paramount Ranch became the filming location for 1941's " Caught in the Draft," starring Bob Hope, among many other shoots.

From the 1950s to 1980, the ranch changed hands but remained a film location, and has been the site of more recent productions such as "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman," "The Mentalist," "Weeds," and "Westworld."

The park service, which bought part of the property in 1980 and has since revitalized it, also hosts many public events there.

The ranch is at 2903 Cornell Road in unincorporated Los Angeles County, south of Agoura Hills.

ALABUGA, Russia -- Police in Russia's Republic of Tatarstan have detained activists of the Tatar Public Center (TIU) and an RFE/RL correspondent.

On October 21, police and Investigative Committee officers rushed into the premises in the city of Alabuga, where some 40 activists of the TIU's local branch were holding their gathering, and demanded identification documents from the activists.

Those who did not have internal passports, including RFE/RL correspondent Gafiulla Gazizov, who was at the site to cover the gathering, were forcibly taken to a police station.

Gazizov told RFE/RL by phone that police confiscated his video camera and broke his photo camera.

No explanation for the detainment was given, while the activists say the authorities' goal was to disrupt the gathering.

After all the blood, ink, and tears I've put into this blog and my job as a sales assistant in the wild and crazy world of publishing, CBS has decided to air a show about my life. And by "air a show about my life" I mean "air a show about the world of book publishing":

The project, tentatively titled "Open Books," has received a pilot commitment from the network. It revolves around book editor June and her circle of friends.

"Books" is inspired by the time Lerner spent as a temp in the publishing world at the beginning of her career and by the experiences of her sister Betsy, who worked as a book editor for 15 years before becoming a literary agent.

Keita returned to Italy to join Serie A club Bologna on loan for the 2017–18 season. He arrived with an adductor muscle injury that he expected to keep him out for two weeks, but remained under treatment for some considerable time longer, and did not take a full part in first-team training until well into November. After two appearances for the club's Primavera side, he was included in the squad for the Serie A match at home to Cagliari on 3 December, but remained unused. Keita finally made his Bologna and Serie A debut on 18 April 2018, away to Sampdoria, as a second-half substitute for regular left wing-back Adam Masina; he became the first Malian to play for the club.

The desire for a 'Jewish Homeland' among the Jewish Diaspora is commonly understood to explain the origins of political Zionism in the mid-late 19th century; but that is only part of the story. This article is a brief introduction to the key role of the inheritors of Oliver Cromwell's 'Commonwealth' in its realisation in the State of Israel by actively seeking to harness the Diaspora to their purposes.

Translated from French by

Wikispooks Comment Translated from French by Roger Lagassé The origins of political Zionism - commonly understood as arising in the mid-late 19th century - are not fully explained by the desire among the Jewish Diaspora for a 'Jewish Homeland'. Rather it is the clear understanding ofthat desire by non-Jewish ruling elites (specifically of the Anglo-Saxon Puritan dissenting tradition originating with Oliver Crowell's 'Commonwealth') and its potential for harnessing Jewish support to its purposes, that explains the incubus, turned chimera, turned monstrosity that the world is faced with in the early 21st century. This article provides a brief but compelling introduction to the subject; compelling because it also explains the existence of that otherwise bizarre phenomenon known as 'Christian-Zionism' in the manner of the perfect fit of a particularly difficult jig-saw piece.

Introduction

Everyone has an opinion to explain the massacres committed by the State of Israel in Gaza. While in the 70s and 80s, it was seen as a demonstration of Anglo-Saxon imperialism, many interpret it today as a conflict between Jews and Arabs. Reviewing the long period of history - four centuries -, Thierry Meyssan, a consultant to several governments, analyzes the origins of Zionism, its true ambitions and determines who the enemy is.

The war, which has continued uninterrupted for 66 years in Palestine, has taken a new turn with the Israeli operations named "Our Brother’s Keeper," followed by "Steadfast Roc" (translated strangely in the Western press as "Protective Edge").

Clearly, Tel Aviv - having chosen to instrumentalize the disappearance of three young Israelis in order to launchthese operations and "uproot Hamas" to exploit Gaza gas, according to the plan set out in 2007 by the current Minister of Defence [1] - was overwhelmed by the reaction of the Resistance. Islamic Jihad responded by sending medium range rockets, very difficult to intercept, which are added to those launched by Hamas.

The violence of the events, having already cost the lives of more than 1,500 Palestinians and 62 Israelis (but Israeli figures are subject to military censorship and probably reduced), has raised a wave of protests around the world. In addition to its 15 members, the Security Council, which met on July 22, opened the floor to 40 other states that intended to express their outrage at the behavior of Tel Aviv and its "culture of impunity".
