    Edsger Wybe Dijkstra (1930 – 2002):\
    A Portrait of a Genius
---

Scientific Career {#scientific-career .unnumbered}
=================

Edsger Wybe Dijkstra was born in Rotterdam May 11, 1930. His mother was a mathematician and father a chemist. In 1956 he graduated from the University of Leiden in mathematics and theoretical physics. In 1959 he received his PhD from the University of Amsterdam for his thesis titled “Communication with an Automatic Computer” devoted to a description of the assembly language designed for the first commercial computer developed in the Netherlands, the X1. Italso dealt with the concept of an interrrupt, a novelty at that time. His PhD thesis supervisor was Aad van Wijngaarden.

From 1952 till 1962 he worked at the Mathematisch Centrum in Amsterdam where he met his wife Ria. In 1962 they moved to Eindhoven where he became professor at the Mathematics Department at the Technical University of Eindhoven. Then in 1964 they moved to a newly built house in Nuenen, a small village on the outskirts of Eindhoven which in 1973 was added to the world map of computer science when Dijkstra started to circulate his reports signed “Burroughs Research Fellow” with his home address. Many thought that Burroughs, a company known at that time for the production of computers based on an innovative hardware architecture, was based


in Nuenen. In fact, Dijkstra was the only research fellow of Burroughs Corporation and worked for it from home, occasionally traveling to its branches in the USA.

As a result he reduced his appointment at the University to one day a week. This day, Tuesday, soon became known as the day of the famous “Tuesday Afternoon Club”, a seminar during which he discussed with his colleagues scientific articles, looking at all aspects – notation, organization, presentation, language, content, etc. Soon after he moved in 1984 to the University of Austin, Texas, USA, a new “branch” of the Tuesday Afternoon Club emerged in Austin. Dijkstra worked in Austin till his retirement in the fall of 1999. He returned from Austin, terminally ill, to his original house in Nuenen in February2002, where he died half a year later, on August 6th. He is survived by his wife and three children, Marcus, Femke and Rutger.

Scientific Contributions {#scientific-contributions .unnumbered}
========================

Through his fundamental contributions Dijkstra shaped and influenced the field of computer science like no other scientist. His groundbreaking contributions ranged from the engineering side of computer science to the theoretical one and covered several areas including compiler construction, operating systems, distributed systems, sequential and concurrent programming, software engineering, and graph algorithms. Many of his papers, often just a few pages long, are the source of whole new research areas. Even more, several concepts that are now completely standard in computer science were first identified by Dijkstra and bear names coined by him.

Examples abound. In 1959 he published in a 3-page long


ALGOL 60”, in the Proceedings of the first ACM SIGPLAN conference on History of programming languages, January 1978, Dijkstra took part in the period 1958–1959 in a number of meetings that culminated in the publication of the report defining the ALGOL 60 language. Dijkstra’s name does not appear in the list of thirteen authors of the final report. Apparently, he eventually left the committee because he could not agree with the majority opinions. Still, while at the Mathematisch Centrum, he wrote jointly with Jaap Zonneveld the first ALGOL 60 compiler. It employed a novel method for implementing recursion. His short book “Primer of Algol 60 Programming”, originally published in 1962, was for several years the standard reference for the language.

In a one page paper from 1965 he introducedThis problem became a classic benchmark for explaining new synchronization primitives. The paper also led to an intense research for high-level synchronization mechanisms, leading eventually to the concept of a monitor, due to Per Brinch Hansen and Tony Hoare.

His two-page article “Self-stabilizing systems in spite of distributed control” from 1974 is at the source of one of the main approaches to fault tolerant computing, as can be seen by studying the book “Self-stabilization” (the name was coined by Dijkstra) of Shlomi Dolev from 2000 and by browsing through the proceedings of the annual workshops on self-stabilizing systems. Interestingly, the paper was noticed only in 1983, after Leslie Lamport stressed its importance in his invited talk at the ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing (PODC). It won the


huge impact on the field till this day.

In 1984, to add further support to this approach to programming, he published jointly with Wim Feijen an introductory textbook for first year students of computer science. The book, first published in Dutch, was titled “Een methode van programmeren”. The English edition appeared in 1988 as “A Method of Programming”.

In the early eighties he published two small papers on the problem of detecting termination in distributed systems. The first one, 4 pages long, was written with Carel Scholten, the second, 3 pages long, with Wim Feijen and Netty van Gasteren. The problem was independently formulated and solved by Nissim Francez in a more restricted setting of CSP programs. It became one of the most often studied problems in the area ofdistributed programming and a number of surveys on the subject appeared.

Then in 1990 he published his book “Predicate Calculus and Program Semantics” with Carel Scholten. The book was devoted to logical and mathematical analysis of his weakest precondition semantics with a long prelude concerning predicate calculus. However, the book received mixed reviews. We shall return to this matter later.

His fundamental achievements were early recognized. Already in 1972 he obtained the ACM Turing award. He was a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW), and held the doctor honoris causa titles from the Universities of Belfast, Northern Ireland and Athens, Greece. In addition, over the period of thirty years, he received numerous awards and


distinctions, some just a couple of weeks before his death. On April 10, 2001, the Dutch television broadcast a half an hour TV program about Dijkstra, which was very favourably reviewed in the main daily, the NRC Handelsblad.

Not surprisingly, his obituary appeared in a number of newspapers, including the New York Times, the Washington Post, and Guardian.

Working Style {#working-style .unnumbered}
=============

Dijkstra never wrote his articles using a computer. He preferred to rely on his typewriter and later on his Mont Blanc fountain pen. These articles were then distributed in an old fashioned way: he sent copies to a few friends and associates who then served as the source nodes of the distribution centers. These short articles span over the period of forty years. They are rarely longer than 15wolf, goat and cabbage puzzle (see EWD 1255 from 2000).

In writing his elegance was unmatched. He could write about formal issues in the form of an essay, with hardly any formulas. His, already discussed, paper “Cooperating Sequential Processes” is perhaps the best example. Similarly, he was able to discuss (one should rather say, derive) intricate algorithms in distributed computing in a seemingly informal way, in plain prose, with just a few simple formulas. He wrote his articles in a unique style characterized by conciseness, economy of argument, and clarity of exposition. Each sentence was carefully chiseled. Each paragraph was striking.

In fact, in all that he did he was a perfectionist to the utmost. His lectures were always impeccably delivered, often with a sense of unique drama, and given


only with a chalk and a blackboard, completely out of his head. They were also highly entertaining because of his sharp comments, striking turns of phrase, or curious quotations that he used to put on the blackboard before starting his lecture. In a classroom he would never ask an audience to keep silent. Instead, he would lower his voice to the point of being hardly audible. This trick was amazingly effective.

Starting in the late seventies he got interested in the subject of the development and presentation of proofs. Some of these proofs were surprising applications of his programming methodology to geometry or algebra. He criticized the use of implication, an unneeded reasoning by cases, or the reasoning by contradiction. Instead, he favoured the proofs presented as chains ofserving coffee to students and making subtle one liner jokes of his own creation.

As a result of his reserved behaviour and uncompromising positions he was disliked by a number of colleagues, in particular in the Netherlands. They saw nothing in his prophet-like statements and biting comments, often delivered from the back of the lecture room, and directed against the hacker’s approach to programming, against the sloppily chosen notation, or expressing his disapproval of the badly organized lecture. Often this scepticism towards his opinions and ideas could be simply explained by plain jealousy that his viewpoints and articles were widely cited and discussed. Consequently, when a prominent speaker was sought for some important event in the Netherlands, Dijkstra was usually passed over.

On a number of occasions, his extreme views


point of Dijkstra’s work, and most of his articles and books have no references at all. In the preface of his book “A Discipline of Programming” he simply stated disarmingly “For the absence of a bibliography I offer neither explanation nor apology”.

All that was probably the small price he had to pay for being able to focus on his own ideas and his own approach. After all, in most of what he did he was a pioneer and consequently an autodidact. Apparently, to remain creative and highly original he had to shut off other people’s work. He would rather derive all results from first principles, ignoring work done by others. He was more interested in the thought process behind the development of a result, rather than the resultitself. In fact, most of his work has dealt with methodology.

His strong personality combined with remarkable working habits and definite opinions on how to conduct research appealed to many researchers. He seemed to believe that everyone should think, and even behave, the way he did. This made him a natural prophet and accounted for many of his idiosyncrasies. He attracted a relatively small but stable group of disciples, which included both PhD students and highly renowned computer scientists, who adopted his writing style and notation, his manners, use of a fountain pen, and occasionally even his type of sandals.

Life in Austin {#life-in-austin .unnumbered}
==============

In Austin he found his second home. He liked the United States and its national parks and often spent vacation traveling around with his wife in


their Volkswagen bus, dubbed the Turing Machine. When operating on familiar territory, he was sociable and friendly. He and his wife would often drop in on friends and colleagues in the evening, unannounced, for a social half hour. He was also often most helpful and with an original sense of humour. When asked once how many PhD students he had, he replied with a smile: “Two. Einstein had none”. (Eventually, Dijkstra had four PhD students: Nico Haberman, who for several years was the head of the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University, Martin Rem, who became the president of the Technical University of Eindhoven, Netty van Gasteren, who till her recent untimely death worked at the same University, and David Naumann who works at the Stevens Instituteof Technology, in Hoboken, NJ and who had Dijkstra and Tony Hoare as PhD supervisors.)

He was liked and respected by his colleagues, who were struck by his unassuming behaviour. J Strother Moore once remarked about Dijkstra’s collegial attitude during departmental meetings: “Edsger is a great faculty member. He believes in the principle ‘one person, one vote’ and sticks to it”. In fact, Dijkstra never mingled in university politics and always stayed outside of conflicts. At the same time he was extremely perceptive about people and could immediately recognize who was a dedicated scientist and who was a disguised politician.

He often attended lectures of invited speakers and would do his best to closely follow them till the very end. His courses for students in Austin had little to do


with computer science: they dealt with the presentation of mathematical proofs. Actually, on the Department’s home page, one could read the following terse summary of his research: “ My area of interest focuses on the streamlining of the mathematical argument so as to increase our powers of reasoning, in particular, by the use of formal techniques”. During the course he would ask students to write up proofs of the elementary mathematical problems he discussed during the class and next time he returned them with detailed comments such as “Many sins of omissions”.

He was also highly original in his way of assessing people’s capacity for a job. When Vladimir Lifschitz came to Austin in 1990 for a job interview, Dijkstra gave him a puzzle. Vladimir solved it and hasof honesty and integrity. Most of his publications were written by him alone. The few publications that he wrote jointly with his colleagues bear the unmistakable trait of his writing style. He never had a secretary and took care of all his correspondence alone. He never sought funds in the form of grants or consulting and never lent his name to the initiatives to which he would not contribute in a substantial way. When colleagues prepared a festschrift for his sixtieth birthday, published by Springer-Verlag, he took the trouble to thank each of the sixty one contributors separately, in a hand-written letter.

His supreme self-confidence went together with a remarkably modest life style, to the point of being spartan. His and his wife’s house in Nuenen is simple, small


and unassuming. He did not own a TV, a VCR, or a mobile telephone and did not go to the movies. In contrast, he played the piano remarkably well and, while in Austin, liked to go to the concerts. He also liked to tackle difficult crossword puzzles in Dutch and would not hesitate to send his solutions to the newspaper.

Legacy {#legacy .unnumbered}
======

Dijkstra’s immense intellectual courage and audacity, and deep, yet strikingly simple and elegant, ideas changed the course of computer science. His integrity as a scientist and as a person in private life cannot be matched. His views on science in general and on research in particular were of remarkable depth and originality. As J Strother Moore, the chairman of the Computing Science Department at Austin, said duringHigh school track: Davis relay team wins indoor national championship

Learning the meaning of perseverance

By Rachel Robertson | 03/22/2017

Sharada Bose spoke to engineering students while in Oregon to receive an award from the College of Engineering.

At age 19, Sharada Bose moved from India to Corvallis, Oregon, having never been in the U.S. before. It was 1981, and she recalls being amazed at the cash registers in Fred Meyer, thinking they were computers. It was her lack of knowledge that inspired her to pursue computer science.

“I didn’t want to be in the I-don’t-know camp,” Bose said.

It was the start of a journey at Oregon State University that propelled her into a 24-year career with HP, and a second career as the chief operating officer at Way.com, a Silicon Valley start-up. Her accomplishments were honored this year byat Oregon State.

“I hired several people from OSU, particularly from the computer science department. I brought them into HP and I’m very happy and very proud I did that. It was a partnership that was a win-win for everyone,” Bose said.

Although she moved to Silicon Valley for a position at HP headquarters she continued to retain her connection to Oregon State as a lifetime member of the Alumni Association and with regular donations to the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. More recently, she created an endowment in her name which supports a female student in computer science. She also hopes to participate in a start-up event on campus as a judge.

Jack Hughes will be key pieces for the U.S. team.

Seventeen-year-old Jack has already earned a reputation as a speedy, highly-skilled and high-scoring centre. Currently playing with the U.S. development team, he’s an early favourite to be the first overall draft pick in June.

Nineteen-year-old Quinn was taken seventh overall by the Vancouver Canucks last year.

He’ll be one of three returning defencemen for the U.S. junior team, and has spent this season as a sophomore at the University of Michigan. Quinn already has three goals and 17 assists for the Wolverines this year, closing in on the 29 points he tallied in his rookie campaign.

The Hughes brothers shared the ice at the world junior showcase in Kamloops, B.C., last summer, connecting on some highlight-reel worthy goals.

U.S. junior team coach Mikethe Swedes will still get some solid defensive play from Liljegren’s Marlies teammate Rasmus Sandin, and Adam Boqvist, who’s with the Ontario Hockey League’s London Knights.

CANUCKS IN THE CREASE

Mike DiPietro used the disappointment of being cut from last year’s junior squad as fuel as he evolved into one of the best netminders in the Canadian Hockey League.

After selection camp, he set an alarm on his phone that would periodically blast a stark message on to the screen: “Got cut from world juniors.” The message motivated the Vancouver Canucks prospect to push a little harder when he returned to the Windsor Spitfires.

It worked. DiPietro’s performance in net earned him goaltender of the year honours from the Ontario Hockey League last season.

His success has continued this year, first with the


listed among the tournament contenders, but this isn’t the first year the Kazakhstanis have participated. They were last in the tournament in 2009.

And they have played giant-killer before, upsetting Canada 6-3 in the 1998 world junior championship in Finland.

While Canada is a perennial world juniors powerhouse, some other countries come and go, depending on their performance the year before.

After round-robin play, the two last-placed teams play a best-of-three relegation series where the winner retains their spot in the tournament. The loser is sent down to play in Division I Group A.

Germany won the lower tournament earlier this month, earning a spot in 2020’s main event.forty-fifth day after such election file a statement to that effect . . .
Ohio Rev.Code § 3517.11 provides a penalty for failure to comply with § 3517.10. This section reads in part:
. . . Failure of any candidate to file a statement within the time prescribed by § 3517.10 of the Ohio Revised Code shall disqualify said person from becoming a candidate in any future election for a period of five years, except candidates for an elected office having a six-year term who shall be disqualified from becoming a candidate in any future election for a period of seven years.
Plaintiff's challenge to § 3517.10 was precipitated by the following circumstances:
Donald E. Lukens, plaintiff, was elected to the office of state senator from the 4th Senatorial District[1] at the


general election of November 7, 1972. He failed to file either a sworn statement covering campaign receipts and expenditures or a sworn statement that he had no such receipts or expenditures within forty-five days of that election pursuant to Ohio Rev.Code § 3517.10. The required statement was not filed until January 3, 1973.
On August 29, 1973, plaintiff attempted to file with defendant a Declaration of Candidacy and Petition of Candidate for Nomination at the primary election to be held May 7, 1974. He sought to be a candidate of the Republican Party for the office of United States Senator from Ohio for the full term commencing January 3, 1975. The parties have stipulated and the Court does accordingly find that all steps necessary to be taken in ordercomply with both the letter and spirit of the Constitution of the United States.
Article I of the United States Constitution provides for the election of a national legislature. The Seventeenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified May 31, 1913, made effective Section 3 of Article I which provides:

of the Interstate Commerce Act provides that the Commission, in issuing a regular route motor carrier certificate, shall specify the routes over which, the fixed termini, if any, between which, and the intermediate and off-route points, if any, at which, the carrier is authorized to operate. 49 U.S.C. § 308.
Pursuant to this authority the Commission issued a certificate which provided, inter alia, that R-C serve:
[A]ll points in Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, and those in New Jersey within 25 miles of Newark (including Union, New Jersey) as off-route points in connection with carrier's regular-route authority.
R-C contends that its authority to serve all points in North Carolina as off-route points includes Moyock, North Carolina, and it can therefore serve the commercial zone of Moyock which includes Chesapeake, Virginia,R-C Motor Lines, Inc. opposed the carriers' applications in Bell and Standard, arguing that in the conversion proceedings the carriers' authority should not be broadened to permit service to areas beyond the state boundaries that they were then authorized to serve. The Commission in Standard added a specific restriction onto the carrier's certificate prohibiting service in commercial zones across state lines.
RESTRICTION: The authority granted herein to serve points in North Carolina and South Carolina is restricted against the provision of service at those portions of the commercial zones as defined by the Commission of such points which be outside the States of North Carolina and South Carolina.[11]
This restriction was grounded on the reasoning that the carrier's authority was territorial in nature and did not permit it to offer


within the territorially limited certificate.[16] The absence in the certificate of specific authority to service Moyock, either as a regular route or off-route point, and applicant's authority to serve that point under the general description of "all points in . . . North Carolina", precludes R-C from serving points in Virginia within the commercial zone of Moyock, North Carolina. Therefore, it is
Ordered:
1. The cease and desist order of the Interstate Commerce Commission, served on August 17, 1971, is upheld.
2. The temporary restraining order, entered herein on March 28, 1972, is hereby dissolved, vacated and set aside, effective 15 days from the date of this order. The delay is granted so as to permit orderly application to the Supreme Court, or a Justice thereof, for stay of our orderAlbrecht (10%).

Defense: The Synergy Sports numbers paint Robinson as the second best defending in the Michigan rotation (after Jordan Morgan) last season. But as the season wore on, it was clear that opponents began to exploit Robinson defensively. He struggled to guard more traditional four men and seemed to lack the tenacity on the defensive side of the ball to make up for his size disadvantage. That being said, he had enough strong defensive performances that it’s obvious the tools are there – adding consistency and intensity on that side of the ball is the next step. Robinson’s lack of aggressiveness on the defensive end also shows up in the foul column where he was whistled for just 1.3 fouls per 40 minutes, 13th fewest in Division I.

Grade:


A-

Robinson salvaged his season in the NCAA tournament. After being held to single figures in eight of his final 12 Big Ten (and Big Ten Tournament) games and averaging just eight points per contest, Robinson rediscovered his confidence. He reached double figures in five of six NCAA tournament games and averaged 13 points per game on the game’s biggest stage.

Robinson passed his test as a freshman. John Beilein couldn’t have asked for much more but it’s impossible to ignore the shift in role that awaits him as a sophomore. The grading scale and expectations will change as a sophomore.

Bottom Line: Robinson’s efficiency will obviously see some regression toward the mean as he uses more possessions but his ability to handle roughly another 200 possessions in a season willdetermine his future. If he thrives on the wing as a primary scorer for the Wolverines, he’s probably a top-10 pick. If he struggles with ball handling duties and creating offense off of the dribble then he could start to see a slip in his draft stock.

Give him credit, he’s confident that he’ll elevate his game .

I feel like people have only seen one side of my game, cant wait to see the shock on peoples faces when the see the real GRIII. #Excited

Robinson’s return to school was a gamble in himself. He could have gone pro, banking on NBA general managers believing he could elevate his game. But instead he returned to school to prove that he can elevate his game. Robinson had a great freshman year.


478 F.3d 519
UNITED STATESv.James SHEDRICK, Appellant.
No. 04-2329.
United States Court of Appeals, Third Circuit.
Argued June 1, 2006.
Opinion Filed February 28, 2007.

Peter A. Levin, Esquire (Argued), Philadelphia, PA, Counsel for Appellant.
Patrick L. Meehan, United States Attorney, Robert A. Zauzmer, Assistant United States Attorney Chief of Appeals, Thomas P. Hogan, Jr. (Argued), Assistant United States Attorney, Office of United States Attorney, Philadelphia, PA, Counsel for Appellee.
Before AMBRO, FUENTES, and GREENBERG, Circuit Judges.
OPINION OF THE COURT
AMBRO, Circuit Judge.

1
James Shedrick appeals from the District Court's denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 petition for habeas corpus alleging ineffective assistance of counsel. The Government contests our jurisdiction, however, because of an appellate and collateral review waiver contained in a plea agreement signed by Shedrick. We conclude we have jurisdiction over this appeal relating towith a gun located at 64th Street and Greenway Avenue. Upon arriving at that address, Officer Mason heard gun shots but did not see anyone in the area.

3
Sergeant Pembrook also responded immediately to the 911 call and, like Officer Mason, did not find anyone at the scene. After a short time, however, Pembrook observed a man—later identified as Shedrick—standing in the middle of the intersection holding a large silver revolver in his right hand. Pembrook made a priority radio call for back-up, stating that the suspect was armed and not in custody.

4
By that time, Mason had joined Pembrook. Officers Rutter and Gallen-Ruiz, who were riding together, also arrived at the scene. Pembrook and Mason stood in front of a police car and attempted to engage Shedrick while Rutter


and Gallen-Ruiz began to approach him from covered positions behind parked cars. The officers repeatedly instructed Shedrick to drop the gun, but he refused. He pointed the gun at the sky and attempted to fire three shots. The gun failed to discharge.

5
The officers repeated their order for Shedrick to drop his gun. He again aimed the gun upward and pulled the trigger three more times. Yet again the gun failed to fire. Shedrick then opened up the cylinder of the revolver, and empty shell casings fell out of the weapon. When this occurred, the police gang-tackled and disarmed him. Officer Rutter called in a report indicating that Shedrick was in custody.

6
Immediately after Shedrick was detained, the officers were approached by two persons, Li Nguyen and Patricia Edwards. Nguyena sentencing hearing during which the potential enhancement for possession in connection with another felony offense, as well as the upward departure for shooting at the van, were contested. The Government called two witnesses to provide a factual basis to support the enhancement and departure: Brickhouse and Nguyen.

22
Brickhouse testified that Shedrick had been selling cocaine on a regular basis and that both Shedrick and his half-brother, Tarik Robinson, had carried the Smith & Wesson revolver while dealing drugs.

23
Nguyen testified that he and Patricia Edwards were driving to work in a red van at approximately 5:40 a.m. on the date of Shedrick's arrest, when a black man holding a silver revolver started shooting at them. The Government provided photographs to the District Court showing that bullets struck the left


front hood of the van and the mid-windshield, passing between the two passengers. Nguyen recounted going to a police station to report the shooting, returning to where it had occurred, and witnessing the police tackling the man who had shot at the van.2

24
After Brickhouse and Nguyen's testimony, Shedrick testified to his version of events. He admitted that he had the gun in his possession, but denied ever firing it. He also stated that he did not know Brickhouse and had never seen Nguyen prior to the sentencing hearing.

25
The Government and defense counsel then engaged in extended arguments about the enhancement and departure. The defense contended that there was insufficient evidence to show that Shedrick either had been dealing drugs or had fired the shots that struck Nguyen's van.Thus, it was the defense's position that Shedrick should receive a sentence within the standard Guidelines range—46 to 57 months.

26
The Government, on the other hand, maintained that because the evidence demonstrated that Shedrick had carried the gun while dealing drugs (as testified to by Brickhouse) and that Shedrick shot at the van (as testified to by Nguyen), both the four-level enhancement and eight-level upward departure should apply. It recommended to the Court a sentence of 100 months' incarceration.3

27
At the close of the hearing, the District Court found that Brickhouse and Nguyen were credible witnesses, and thus applied the four-level enhancement and eight-level upward departure. Accordingly, the Court sentenced Shedrick to 96 months' incarceration to be followed by three years of supervised release.

Shedrick was appointed counsel by the District


to smoke, the risk of moving from e-cigarettes to regular cigarettes by the next year was 10 times greater than those who never vaped.

Barrington-Trimis said the high risk among teens committed to not smoking “suggests this is not just occurring among kids who intended to smoke anyway.”

The survey participants were 11th and 12th grade students who all were least 18 years old by the second survey.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommended in 2015 that the devices be regulated as tobacco products due to concerns they would lead teens to regular cigarettes and also expose their developing brains to nicotine.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration last month took wide-ranging steps to crack down on e-cigarettes and banned sales to anyone under age 18.

Dana Loesch on SNL's Anti-Gun Lecture: 'They Lack Courage of Their Own Convictions'

A note found in the hotel room of Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock contained detailed calculations for firing down on a country music festival.

On "60 Minutes," the police officers who were the first to reach the 32nd floor detailed what they saw when they entered the room after Stephen Paddock committed suicide.

"I noticed a note on the nightstand near his shooting platform," said Las Vegas police officer Dave Newton.

"He had written the distance, the elevation and the drop of what his bullet would be for the crowd. He had that figured out so he would know where to shoot to hit his targets from


there."

In the crime-scene photos of Paddock's Mandalay Bay suite, a piece of paper was visible on a table. In the days after the shooting, many had speculated it was a suicide note, as authorities continue to search for a clear motive.

On "America's Newsroom," David Shepherd, former security director at the Venetian resort, said Paddock's planning was far more extensive than what he's seen in other mass shootings.

He noted that Paddock was a multi-millionaire and unlike other mass shooters, could obtain the resources to carry out the meticulous plot.

The officers who first reached the room said they saw power tools, an "armory" of weapons, monitors, electrical equipment and a camera hooked up to a room service cart outside the room.

The officers said they were worried that the wires leadingMerlin Bush and Jamal Little testified at trial that they were assigned to the COPS unit *209 at the St. Bernard housing development. They were executing a plan they had devised to catch possible trespassers who might be dealing in narcotics at the housing development. The officers were patrolling in response to numerous complaints about illegal narcotics in certain parts of the housing development. They planned to go into one of the suspected narcotics areas in the 1400 block of St. Denis Street and approach anyone they found, regardless of whether they were residents, in an attempt to prevent such persons from running away.
In execution of their plan, the officer selected an apartment building in the 1400 block of St. Denis, and Officer Robinson parked his marked patrol


unit in the rear driveway of St. Denis and came around the front on foot. Officers Bush and Little drove into the St. Denis courtyard in their marked patrol unit After observing someone on the front porch of the building, they stopped their car fifteen to twenty feet away, and illuminated the area with their spotlight while Officer Robinson approached the porch from the side. Wilson was alone on the porch. Officer Robinson described him as leaning against a window ledge and Officers Bush and Little described him as sitting on the steps of the porch. Officer Robinson testified at trial that he was ten or thirteen feet away when the spotlight hit Wilson, who he described as looking nervous. Officer Robinson further testified that he saw Wilsonwalk about three feet toward the front of the porch and discard something from his hand over the edge. Officer Bush testified at trial that he also saw Wilson make a motion with his hand. Officer Little testified at trial that he saw Wilson stand up and walk towards them, but he did not see Wilson discard anything.
Officer Robinson testified at trial that he gave a planned signal to the other officers to come and handcuff Wilson while he distracted him with casual conversation. At trial, Officers Bush and Little testified that as they exited their vehicle, Officer Bush handcuffed Wilson, gave him his Miranda warnings and placed him under arrest after Officer Robinson advised them of the discarded suspected narcotics he had retrieved. As Officers Robinson and


Bush were detaining Wilson, Officer Little further testified that he noticed two other subjects "moving about off that porch", and realized that the female was not a resident of the building. Officer Bush testified that he briefly detained and questioned the female and her male companion long enough to ascertain that there were no warrants out for them. Officers Robinson and Bush testified that they recalled Officer Little detaining subjects but that they were not on the porch. At the time of Wilson's arrest, the officers cited him for criminal trespass on HANO property after determining that he did not have a legitimate reason to be on the porch of the building.
At trial, the defense presented a version of the facts very different from the testimony of thestate. Sheila Ann Dickson was the sole witness for the defense. Ms. Dickson, who lives around the corner from the porch, testified at trial that she was standing on the porch with her fiancé, Lester Antoine, and Wilson on the evening in question when a young girl walked up on the porch. The officer approached and asked the young girl why she was standing there, and the girl replied that she was waiting for the twin daughters of Ms. Dickson. The officers told the girl to go about her business, and told Ms. Dickson, Mr. Antoine, and Wilson to get on their knees and empty their pockets. The officer flashed a light on the ground, discovered the bag of cocaine, and asked who it belonged to. The three


they approached, the officers observed the defendant separate himself from the group of young men loitering in front of an abandoned house and throw something over a fence and return to the group. The officers secured Joseph Jackson and the other men with him, and Officer McCabe retrieved the object tossed by Joseph Jackson. The object was a plastic bag which contained white rock-like objects Officer McCabe believed to be crack cocaine. This Court found that the object was discarded by the defendant without police interference, and therefore, the officers could retrieve it.
In the instant case Wilson argues that the officers were not simply driving down the street but were executing a plan intended to box in suspects and shine their spotlight on him, leaving him unable todisregard the encounter and walk away. In State v. Chopin, 372 So.2d 1222 (La. 1979), the Louisiana Supreme Court reversed a defendant's conviction, concluding that the police did not have reasonable suspicion to stop the man who was walking down the service road of a highway carrying a brown paper bag. The officer drove past the man, turned around, and came back toward him, shining their bright lights and stopping three to four feet in front of him. At that point, the man dropped his bag and began to run. The bag was later found to contain marijuana. Chopin, 372 So.2d 1222, 1224. The district court found Chopin to be distinguishable from the facts of the instant case, and it appears that the trial court was correct in


that judgment. The defendant in Chopin was walking in a well lit, well traveled area and carrying a brown paper bag. The officers had received no reports of suspicious or illegal activity in the area or regarding the defendant. Therefore, the court concluded that the officers lacked reasonable suspicion to stop the man.
In contrast to Chopin, Wilson was on a porch in a poorly lit area where the three officers were patrolling in response to numerous complaints about illegal narcotics in certain parts of the housing development. The officers also knew that trespassing was a common problem in the area. The officers initially approached Wilson from two directions, Officer Robinson on foot from the rear of the building and Officers Bush and Little in their vehicle from thefront, which they parked fifteen to twenty feet from Wilson. Wilson walked toward the officers' vehicle, and by the time the officers turned on their spotlight, he was ten to thirteen feet away. It was only when Officer Robinson noticed Wilson drop a zip loc bag, a known container for drugs, that Wilson was handcuffed, patted down, and Mirandized. The officers did not brandish weapons or come upon him with a show of force. At the time Wilson dropped the zip loc bag, he was not seized and a stop was not imminent. At the time he abandoned the zip loc bag, there had been no prior unlawful intrusion into his right to be free from governmental interference, and the zip loc bag was lawfully seized. Therefore, the


the same as PL refs do, and not giving fouls against us, but he also could have given Barca a pen in the first half for Diabys trip. The second yellow for RvP was harsh, I’m pretty sure the Barca players asked for it. The penalty looked like he gave a goalkick until Xavi protests and his hand starter pointing at the spot (in fairness Kozzer knew).

The League and FA Cup Double is what we can concentrate on now, and is very much achievable.

DD. Perhaps in the heat of the moment I was harsh on Clichy, as you say the defence played exceptionally well

26. I disagree totally about it being a nailed on penalty. Danish TV did a slo-mo on it and Kos got there first. The DanishPages

Lofton Induction Ceremony Tonight

Former Indians Superstar Kenny Lofton will be inducted into the Cleveland Indians Hall-of-Fame at tonight's game. The bobblehead above will be given out to attendees. Lofton os one of the most beloved Tribers to wear a Wahoo. Lofton came to the MLB in 1991 wearing an Astros uniform, but the next year was put in a Tribe uni where he spent then next five seasons before making a brief appearance with the Braves for one season. After that, he came back to the Indians for four more seasons. As with many Tribers, he bounced around the MLB with varioud other teams throughout his career. Luckily for Indians fans, he finished out his career in 2007 with a return to greatness, giving the


young ballplayers a clinic on batting, stealing, and being a "professional" on the field.

Lofton was a six-time All-star and served on the 1995 World Series team.

I believe he will find himself in the Baseball Hall of Fame in the coming years for sure! After all, he has an overall career batting average of .299, 130 home runs, 781 RBIs, and a killer defensive glove. Oh yeah, he also managed to steal 622 bases (netting a whopping 79.5% success rate) while he was at it.

*749 The deputy prosecuting attorney of Poinsett County charged Webb in July, 1975; however, after a personal investigation, he decided the charges should be dismissed. He made an oral motion before Judge Harrison in October, 1976 to nolle prosequi the case. It is disputed whether or not the judge took this motion under advisement and later ruled on it. The deputy states in an affidavit that Judge Harrison did not state to him he was taking the motion under advisement. Judge Harrison, in a signed order that was not filed until December the 30th, recited the motion was taken under advisement and overruled on the 29th of November. This order,


along with several others, was filed on the 30th of December. The orders were dated the 28th of December but entered nunc pro tunc to dates in October. The orders were: an order granting a motion for a speedy trial; an order denying a motion to nolle prosequi the case, and an order setting the matter for trial December 29th.
After the October hearing, but before any written orders were filed by Judge Harrison, the prosecuting attorney made a motion to dismiss the case with prejudice before Judge Gerald Pearson, a judge in the same circuit. Judge Pearson signed an order dismissing the charges on the 5th of November. However, he set this order aside on the 7th of December as entered in error. There is no evidence thatTennessee. Some two months before the forged check was passed, Bertha Webb's purse containing her billfold and driver's license was stolen from a Memphis restaurant. On July 2, 1975, a woman passed a forged check of Mrs. Gene Thompson at the Marked Tree Bank in the amount of $4,850.00. That woman volunteered the driver's license of Bertha Webb to the bank teller for identification. On July 29, 1975, Michael Everett, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, acting on behalf of David Burnett, Prosecuting Attorney for the Second Judicial District, filed a felony information in the Poinsett Circuit Court charging forgery and uttering against Bertha Webb. Bertha Webb's defense from the beginning was an alibi. The case of State of Arkansas v. Bertha Webb, #CR75-63, was set for trial at the October


1975 term of Poinsett County Circuit Court, again on March 8, 1976 and once again October 14, 1976. Even though Bertha Webb was ready for trial at each setting, the case was passed each time on motion of the State. On July 10, 1976 Bertha Webb filed a motion demanding a speedy trial. In the meantime, the State through its duly constituted authorities had interviewed all of Bertha Webb's alibi evidence and had concluded that Bertha Webb was innocent of the charges filed against her. After Bertha Webb filed a motion to dismiss for lack of a speedy trial on October 28, 1976, the deputy prosecuting attorney with the consent of the prosecuting attorney recommended to Judge Gerald Pearson, who held the first week of the October 1976and developments in the case of State vs. Bertha Webb from the onset.
6. A representative of the State was requested by Bertha Webb's attorney to meet in Memphis, Tennessee and examine all of her proof.
7. During the March 1976 term, I went to Memphis, Tennessee accompanied by Owen Miller, special investigator of the Prosecuting Attorney, and met with Bertha Webb and her attorneys and interviewed the following alibi witnesses who were present at the meeting: Fred Stewart, Linda Moitozo, Robert Kirkpatrick, Patricia Capos, Isaac Martin, Andy Thompson, Marvin Sites and Brooks Webb. These alibi witnesses were sound and impressive in their specific reasons for recalling the date in question. Next I examined the time cards of Webb Printing Company, kept at 6 minute intervals, which I concluded to


the check.
Finally I interviewed Earl P. Davenport, handwriting expert, whose opinion was that the forged check was made by tracing a previous check of the victim, Mrs. Thompson, that had been payable to Creative Bath Kitchens, a Memphis concern doing business with the victim. Bertha Webb had nothing to do with Creative Bath Kitchens. The attorneys for Bertha Webb had turned up the check from which the forgery was made, by making a transparency of the forged check and comparing it with numerous checks of Mrs. Thompson until they found the one that matched. Bertha Webb's attorneys brought to my attention the name of a woman who could have had access to the check and who fit the description of the person who passed the check and whomto talk to Fred Odum of the Arkansas State Police about it, but at no time did Judge Harrison state to me that he was taking the motion under advisement or that the case was to be set for trial.
12. The trial was continued again on October 14, 1976, on the Motion of the State.
13. Previously on July 10, 1976, Bertha Webb had filed a motion for a speedy trial and on October 28, 1976, filed a motion to dismiss for lack of speedy trial, and I believed the motion to be well taken as the actual business of the criminal division in Poinsett County had ended in October 1976. Therefore, in November, 1976, I sent Judge Gerald Pearson the Order dismissing cause with prejudice along with precedents


for the dismissal, which was granted and entered on November 10, 1976, with the consent of David Burnett.
14. I sent the dismissal order to Judge Gerald Pearson because Judge Pearson held the first week of criminal court during the October 1976 term, which I understand was at the request of Judge Harrison who had a backlog docket in Crittenden County, and also because Judge Pearson is much faster in answering my mail than is Judge Harrison.

Chinese officials have condemned a US ship's passage near disputed islands in the South China Sea as "illegal" and a threat to their country's sovereignty.

The guided-missile destroyer USS Lassen breached the 12-nautical mile zone China claims around Subi and Mischief reefs in the Spratly archipelago.

The US has confirmed the operation took place, apparently as part of its Freedom of Navigation programme.

The operation is a challenge to China's claims over the artificial islands.

Lu Kang, a spokesman for China's foreign ministry, said Beijing would "resolutely respond to any country's deliberately provocative actions".

He added that the ship had been "tracked and warned" while on the mission to deliberately enter the disputed waters.

TheChinese foreign ministry summoned the US ambassador to protest over the move.

Meanwhile, US Defence Secretary Ash Carter confirmed that the USS Lassen had passed within 12 miles of the islands, during questioning by the Senate Armed Forces Committee.

US Defence Department spokesman Cdr Bill Urban had earlier said that "the United States is conducting routine operations in the South China Sea in accordance with international law".

The move was welcomed by several countries in the East Asia region, including the Philippines and Japan.

China claims most of the South and East China seas. Other countries in South-East Asia have competing claims for the Spratly Islands, Paracel Islands and Scarborough Shoal, which are thought to have resource-rich waters around them.

The reefs, which were submerged, were turned into islands by China by a


massive dredging project which began in late 2013.

China says this work is legal and in a meeting with US President Barack Obama last month in Washington, President Xi Jinping said China had "no intention to militarise" the islands.

But Washington believes Beijing is constructing military facilities, designed to reinforce its disputed claim to most of the region - a major shipping zone.

What is Freedom of Navigation?

The US Freedom of Navigation programme challenges what it deems to be "excessive claims" to the world's oceans and airspace.

It was developed to promote international adherence to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea,even though the US has not formally ratified the treaty.

In 2013 and 2014, the US conducted Freedom of Navigation operations of different kinds against China, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Vietnam - each of whom occupies territory in the South China Sea.

China's island factory

Why is the South China Sea contentious?

International maritime law allows countries to claim ownership of the 12-nautical mile area surrounding natural islands, but does not allow nations to claim ownership of submerged features that have been raised by human intervention.

A senior US defence official told Reuters news agency the warship began its mission early on Tuesday local time near the reefs and would spend several hours there.

The USS Lassen, a guided-missile destroyer, was expected to be accompanied by a US Navy P-8A surveillance plane and


a P-3 surveillance plane, according to the unnamed official, speaking to US media.

Additional patrols could follow in the coming weeks, the official added.

Why build a series of tiny islands in the middle of a vast sea? - Celia Hatton, BBC News, Beijing

China has altered Asia's geography by dredging sand from the sea bottom and piling it on existing reefs to build several new islands.

Vague explanations have been offered to justify this costly exercise. Officially, the islands will be used for rescue operations and environmental projects.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has pledged the islands would not be "militarised".

However, many are sceptical of China's geopolitical aims. In recent years,China has amplified its claims in the South China Sea. Critics fear Beijing will use the islands' airstrips to exert control over the area.

At the same time, the United States is exerting its own influence in Asia, pivoting more of its military and economic attention to the region. The new islands are relatively tiny, but the tensions they could create between Beijing and Washington could have global implications.

The ship is an Arleigh Burke class missile destroyer, which the US Navy says is among the most powerful destroyers ever built.

It is 155m (509ft) long with a displacement of 9,145 tons (8,300 tonnes) when fully loaded.

Crewed by a staff of about 330.

It carries two Seahawk helicopters and uses the Aegis defence system.

following the creation of the State of Israel in 1948 and the subsequent violent anti-Jewish pogroms perpetrated by their Muslim neighbours. They left Beirut in wake of the first Lebanese Civil War. Most Syrian Jews established themselves in the industrial city of São Paulo, being attracted there by the many commercial opportunities it offered. The community became very prosperous, and several of its members are among the wealthiest and the politically and economically most influential families in São Paulo. The community first attended Egyptian synagogues, but later founded their own synagogues, most notably the Beit Yaakov synagogues in the neighbourhoods of Jardins and Higienopolis. The community has its own school and youth movement, and claims a strong Jewish identity and low assimilation rate. The majority of the communitysame time, he cautioned that persons converted out of genuine conviction and recognized by established rabbinic authorities should not be regarded as non-Jewish, even if they were not allowed to join the Syrian community.

The ban is popularly known within the Syrian community as the "edict" or "proclamation" (in Hebrew, takkanah). Every 20 years or so, the edict is reaffirmed by all leaders and rabbis of the community, often with extra clauses. A full list is as follows:
Buenos Aires, 1937 (R. David Setton)
New York, 1935 (Hacham Hayim Tawil)
New York, 1946 "Clarification"
New York, 1972 "Affirmation"
New York, 1984 "Reaffirmation"
New York, 2006 "Reaffirmation"

There has been some argument as to whether the ruling amounts to a blanket ban on all converts or whether sincere converts from other communities, not motivated by marriage, may


from converting into the Syrian Jewish community as they require them to show commitment to Judaism above and beyond what is required by the normative rabbinical laws of conversion.

Supporters of the edict argue that it has been demographically successful, in that the rate of intermarriage with non-Jews in the Syrian community is believed to be less than 3%, as opposed to anything up to 50% in the general American Jewish population. Opponents argue that this fact is not a result of the edict, but of widespread attendance at Orthodox day schools, and that a similarly low rate of intermarriage is found among other Orthodox day-schooled Jews despite the absence of any equivalent of the edict.

Cuisine

As in most Arab and Mediterranean countries, Syrian Jewish cuisine is fairly similar toWe know that the great events of our faith have been often prominently depicted by heralds in all the countries of Europe, and assigned and appropriated to Bishops and other clerics in the different grades of their sees, offices and jurisdictions. But, on further enquiry, we are satisfied that this is really French heraldry, and that these bearings are the arms of the family of Chandos or Shandos, which, as is well known, produced
several distinguished captains in the course of the long wars between the English and the French.

(The following amusing anecdote is from Froissart: - Whilst the Cardinal de Perigord was riding from one army to the other, on the day before the battle of Poietiers, endeavouring to make peace, some knights of either party rode forth,


blazon by any individual or family, we have been able to learn nothing.

As to the arms actually borne by different existing families of this name, so far as we have been able to discover, they are those of the Schands or Shands of Craig (now Caskieben) in the parish of Dyee and county of Aberdeen, with distinctive differences. The family of Craig rose to opulence in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. We find their arms matriculated in the books of the Lord Lyon, about the middle of the sixteenth century. They appear on their monuments and tombstones, particulary in the East Church, as it is now called, in the city of Aberdeen, the ancient Quire of the church of St Nicholas, which was long celebrated in ante-reformation timesas being one of the largest and most magnificent parish churches in Scotland.

These armorial bearings are thus recorded in the Lyon Registers: Azure, a boar’s head couped argent, on a chief of the second, three mullets gules. Crest, a dove volant above the waters holding ane braunch of olive in her beek, proper. Motto, Virtute Duce Comite Fortuna. Thomas Shand, who subscribed himself “of Bendach”, part of the Barony of Craig, as we shall see below, was descended from an ancient and wealthy family which, for generations, had intermarried with leading families both in the town and county. We learn, from some notices of St. Nicholas’ Church, preserved in the MSS. Of the late Mr. James Logan, author of The Scottish Gael, (Advocates’ Library, Aberdeen) made early in


this century, that various memorials of this family and its connections were to be met with in the carvings of the old black oak panelling of the pews. But all those ornaments have unfortuantely disappeared. The church was rebuilt some forty years ago, at a period when the revival of good taste and the appreciation of our native antiquities, now so happily characteristic of our Ediles, had scarecly dawned among us.

As we have already said, this coat of arms appears to be the only one in use by the families of the surname. In the records of the Lyon office, we find it assigned to the ancestors of various branches of the name, with some distinctive difference usually marking the maternal descent of the granteee. Thus the Shandsof the Burn and Arnhall have these arms in the first and third quarter, with those of Chalmers in the second and fourth.

Sir C.F. Shand, Chief Justice of Mauritius and his brother, the Rev. Geo. Shand, Rector of Heydon, Norfolk, the only surviving children of the late Rev. James Shand, of Marykirk, have the arms of Craig, with the border ermine, and three escutcheons gules, shewing their maternal descent, some generations back, from the Hays. The Shands of Craigellie have also similar arms. It appears from the Lyon office records that others of the name in Aberdeenshire have has the same cognizance alloted to them, with the addition of a bordure or, its upper part suppressed by the chief, with the same crest, but the motto shortened to


the leading families of the district; but, so far as we are aware, no special relations with any of the numerous branches of the Gordons have been noted. The fact, however, my be here deemed worthy of being set down, that the Gordons of Pitlurg, an ancient and distinguished branch of the surname, coming off the main stem, before the Seton marriage, which took place early in the fifteenth century, carry as their crest, a dove, with the olive leaf in her bill.

It may also be thought noteworthy that there is a tradition among some of the Shands, that, like the Bairds, the ancestors of the family of Auchmedden and others, the Shands came originally from the South to Aberdeenshire, with the Gordons, in the fourteenth century. But,unfortunately for the truth of this tradition, we know nothing to corroborate it, except it may be the striking similarity of their arms.

One thing however is clear , that in the polotics of the day, and the excited burgher and county factions of the times, the Schands were devoted patizans of the Menzieses. In 1588, Alexander Schand died, in the highly confidential position of sceretary to Gilbert Menzies, the Provost of Aberdeen. – Parochial Records. And we learn from the same source that the Schands intermarried with the Menzieses, and that on their festive occasions: - christenings and the like, the witnesses were often of the Menzies family and their friends. It is well known that the Menzieses followed the Gordons in their devotion to the Royalist, and


that when she contacted the Minister, he told her that if there was no written court order, she could pass the takeover order. The court said that she had passed the order at the bidding of the Revenue Minister.

The loyalty of the petitioner to the Minster was certainly to be appreciated. But that could not be at the expense of her bounden duty towards the Advocate-General and this court. She, with decades of experience in the administrative service, should have known that what she was doing was improper and amounted to “disrespect” to this court, the Advocate-General, Law Secretary and the Chief Secretary who had advised her against passing the order. In fact, her duty was “to advise the Minister who appeared to have little experience in such1. Field of the Invention

A meeting of the international coalition against Isis has ended in London with a declaration that the jihadists, fighting for their Iraqi stronghold in Mosul and facing an impending assault on Raqqa, their ‘capital’ in Syria, will soon be defeated.

But the meeting of 14 states took place against a sombre background of continuing recriminations over the impotence of the West in face of the brutal assault on Aleppo by the regime of Bashar al-Assad and its Russian and Iranian backers, and the uncertainty about the policies on Syria that Donald Trump will bring when he takes over at the White House.

The shadow of what is happening in Aleppo continued to dominate focus on Syria as the Isis conference was taking place. Boris Johnson summoned the Russian and Iranianambassadors to the Foreign Office to express the government’s condemnation of their role in the operation.

Afterwards the Foreign Secretary said: “Both Russia and Iran have failed to uphold their obligation under international humanitarian law, specifically by failing to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid during the months when eastern Aleppo was besieged. They deserve no credit for the fact that an evacuation appears to be underway today. Having inflicted such suffering on the people, Iran and Russia cannot expect praise for allowing some people to escape at the final hour”.

During a House of Commons emergency debate over Aleppo earlier this week, George Osborne acknowledged that “this tragedy was created by a vacuum of Western leadership, British leadership”. It is American leadership which is the crucial factor and Mr

US Defence Secretary Ash Carter, standing beside Sir Michael at a press conference in London, could give no such guarantee. “I can’t speak for the next administration” he said. However, he continued that the “coalition campaign was logical, made sense” and thus hoped that “logic will recommend itself to the future leadership of the United States, even as it has recommended itself to the current leadership.”

According to senior diplomats, Mr Carter, on his last trip to London in his post, has sought to reassure hisEuropean counterparts during the visit that his successor at the Pentagon, General James “Mad Dog” Mattis, will be a counterweight to those within the Trump administration who are expected to press for disengagement from Syria or are deemed to be close to Moscow.

A British team to train opposition fighters has arrived in Syria and Sir Michael announced a six month extension to the deployment of British troops carrying out infrastructure construction at an airbase, al-Asad, in Iraq.

Anthropologists have been tasked with helping to identify victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, as well as plane, crashes such as the Arrow Air Flight 1285 disaster and the USAir Flight 427 disaster where the flesh had been vaporized or so badly mangled that normal identification was impossible. Anthropologists have also helped identify victims of genocide in countries around the world, often long after the actual event. War crimes anthropologists have helped investigate include the Rwandan genocide and the Srebrenica Genocide. Organizations such as the Forensic Anthropology Society ofto come much like Bill Clinton, who has spoken at every one since unless he somehow gets on the Supreme Court.

Gain one point every time you experience a spasm of cognitive dissonance! The Republican Party has nominated for the office of President of the United States a man who got his big break in politics by claiming that a black man, the President of the United States, was literally un-American, and must have been born in Kenya, and that there must be a massive conspiracy to claim otherwise. He claimed to have sent a team of investigators to Hawaii; they have not been heard from since.

The Republican Party has nominated a man who, in a primary debate, bragged about meeting and getting along with Vladimir Putin, but who


is now responding to allegations of pro-Russian bias by saying he never met Putin. The Republican Party has nominated for the office of President of the United States a man who has now publicly asked a foreign power to spy on his electoral rival. The Republican Party has nominated a man who claims that man-made climate change is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese to undermine American workers.

The Republican Party has nominated a man who was recorded speaking to journalists on the phone and repeatedly pretending to be his own, fictional spokesperson. He later admitted to this under oath, but subsequently denied it. Whether it goes in or doesn't go in, I wouldn't care. If it goes in, great. If it doesn't go in, great. And that hiswife was ugly. The Republican Party has nominated for President a man who has never served in public office or the military, but was willing to imply that a U.

This item is your brief respite from cognitive dissonance, enjoy it! He claims to have donated many millions of dollars to charity in recent years, but declines to provide evidence. The Republican Party has nominated a man who, at one of his political rallies, performed a mocking impression of a physically disabled journalist.

He later implied that the moderator must have been menstruating. The Republican Party has nominated a man whose most prominent policy proposal is to somehow compel Mexico into paying for a wall between Mexico and the United States.

The Republican Party has nominated a man who, without medical


training, is nonetheless an outspoken critic of vaccinations. The Republican Party has nominated as President of the United States a man who suggested in a TV interview that Japan should develop its own nuclear weapons. The Republican Party has nominated for the office of President a man who has been blacklisted by all major U.

The Republican Party has nominated a man who, in an official primary debate, implied that he has a large penis. Regardless of the volume and severity of their past criticism, nearly all Republican politicians now say that they support and will vote for Donald Trump for President of the United States.

Senator Grassley is up for re-election this year. The Republican Party has nominated a man who regularly refers to the senior U. The RepublicanParty has nominated a man who gave a primary victory speech next to a pile of beef which he had purchased, claiming it to be from the defunct, unsuccessful Trump Steaks brand, as if that brand still existed.

The Republican Party has nominated a man who wants to reinstate torture, and go further this time. The Republican Party has nominated a man who wants to purposely target the family members of terrorists. The Republican Party has nominated a man who proposed punishing women who get abortions. The Republican Party has nominated a man who has maintained his inherited wealth often by hiring contractors and then refusing to pay them, and whose businesses went bankrupt four times.

The Republican Party has nominated a man who told a lawyer who requested a


break from a deposition to pump breast milk, "You're disgusting". The Republican Party has nominated a man who avoided serving in Vietnam, but referred to avoiding STDs from casual sex as his "personal Vietnam". The Republican Party has nominated a man who says that people in a dark, noisy drinking establishment in Florida should have been carrying guns at their waist or ankle.

The Republican Party has nominated a man who said that Mexican immigrants, generally speaking, are criminals and rapists. But that some of them are, presumably, good people. This is all actually happening! Another highlight from yesterday: Born before all women could vote, Prescott woman, , reports AZ delegates for Clinton. Is this combo just thrown in like a caltrop to confuse Trump tomorrow?

Ugh, I have toall up yourself? Seeing it all in one place is like those photographs of a week's worth of an American family's food intake compared to other countries' diets. I have met her several times in the past and have been impressed by her intellect, her judgment, and her compassion. That was not her doing. She tried to protect her family as best she could.

The media abandoned their code of silence about presidential privacy when Bill Clinton was president.

God knows, there are plenty of members of Congress and governors in both parties who would not want their private lives revealed in the news. I don't know why, but somehow that really humanizes the guy for me posted by Vic Morrow's Personal Vietnam at My 4-yo covered her ears and


centipedes But they're humans tho right posted by beerperson at 1: It's no exaggeration to say that, if elected, Donald Trump would be the least qualified, least vetted, least tested person ever to become POTUS. Presidents who'd never previously held elective office Eisenhower - former general, US Army Hoover - former sec. Arthur had previously held an un-earned gentleman's commission as a non-combat brigadier general during the US Civil War for about a year , and then various political patronage appointments as a member of the New York Republican political machine.

Said machine made him Garfield's running mate; he rose to the presidency a few months later when Garfield succumbed to his wounds following an assassination attempt by a disgruntled office seeker -- part of the same patronage systemthat got Arthur where he was. All of these men spent some part of their careers answerable to the people and the Constitution of the United States of America before becoming president.

It has to do with a clip from an old nature documentary voiceover describing a centipede as "a nimble navigator" which somebody thought to put over Trump speech clips and somehow turn into a meme. Try not to think about it too hard; the logic is just alien. One time, I was in a laundromat, having a conversation with some other folks there to kill the time. All three of the other people there said, sincerely, they thought it was an inside job.

Hearing how many people liked the DNC fight song gives me kinda the same feeling.

'The people of Telangana are treated as second-rate citizens'

December 31, 2009 16:00 IST

When Jawaharlal Nehru announced the formation of a united Andhra Pradesh, he commented, "an innocent girl called Telangana is being married to a naughty boy called Andhra. It is their choice to continue or to get separated."

Today the people of Telangana say that the innocent girl can no longer stay married to the naughty boy. Several proponents of the movement say that it is high time their 'state' is given back to them.

Dr Srinivas Raj, one of the leaders of the Telangana movement, has prepared a ready reckoner on the issue. Raj along with several others has been distributing this booklet among the people


of Telangana and convincing the people why this movement is important and how their lives would change once Telangana is created.

In this interview with rediff.com's Vicky Nanjappa, Raj gives an interesting insight about the movement for a seperate Telangana. He also goes into length about the backroom politics that is being played in trying to curb this movement.

Could you give us a brief history of the Telangana movement?

We talk of Jalianwala Bagh with such great interest. No one wants to even think of the massacre that took place in Telangana, when the Nizam was ruling us. The Hyderabad state was under the Nizam and Urdu was the official language at that time. Right from that time, the people of Telangana were being suppressed. The Nizam's army butchered thethat it would be best to merge Telangana with their regions. Our assembly building, the high court building were all from the Nizam's period. In 1909, M Visveswaraya, the father of engineering, constructed an underground drainage system in Hyderabad, which is being used even today. 69 per cent of the Krishna rivers's catchment area is in Telangana. The revenue that was being generated in the Telangana region was much more when compared to Andhra and Rayalseema.

The fact that Dr B R Ambedkar had said that Hyderabad should be made the second capital of India speaks volumes about the region. Moreover Hyderabad is a connecting point between north and south India. They wanted ready-made infrastructure which was in abundance in Telangana and hence they managed to pressurise the government


violence is not half of what the media has been projecting it to be. In the Telangana region, the Andhra Pradesh Road Transport Corporation faced a loss of Rs 7 crore due to the protests. This was mainly because the bus services were shut down and also due to incidents of stone pelting. Whereas in Andhra and Rayalseema the losses were to the tune of Rs 70 crore and this was largely because buses were being burnt.

The Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited too had said that at the Shrikrishna Devaraya University at Rayalseema, students had burnt its optic fibres which resulted in a loss of Rs 2 crore.

There was also an incident in which supporters of J C Divakar Reddy in Rayalseema had bombed a railway station, causing aplaces

issues like the 2G Spectrum or Bofors were set up in the past following aspects like money trail and related bank account in Switzerland published extensively by the media, she said.

"However, it was not the case with Rafale where there are no middle men like Quattarocchi or the money trail."

"You know the extent of media coverage (on Bofors) during that period (1988-89). Why it halted abruptly? Who tried to muzzle?" Ms Sitharaman asked.

She alleged the Congress party asked media outlets to not publish anything on Bofors during the late 1980s.

She said following the Congress' diktat, "no one opened their mouth," and "such people" are now indulging in "false propaganda" against the government on Rafale jet deal.

No one had then made a hue and cry over freedom of expressionvis-a-vis Bofors and that the Congress party was "gagging them."

However, they are now crying hoarse that freedom of expression has been "infringed" under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rule, she said.

The story of Dining With Dignity Inc., a Williamsburg-based start-up that manufactures flatware for the manually disabled, has an unlikely beginning. .

It starts with tires screeching on asphalt, then a car tumbling end over end on Rochambeau Road. There are three people inside.

When the car comes to rest not far from the highway, two passengers climb out, examining their injuries — bruises, sprains, cuts needing stitches.

The third person doesn’t get out.

His name is Robert Bayton, and he has broken his neck at the seventh cervical vertebra, just below his shoulders. He isn’t dead, but from that moment on, he is a quadriplegic.

In the seven months of rehab that followed that day in February 2001, Bayton had lots of time to

Although such officials may be specially designated to authorize wiretap applications under Title III, Congress has given them no authority over wiretaps sanctioned by the D.C.Code.

Should You Be Fearful of The Zika Virus in Waukesha County?

Well, no. The mosquitoes that will soon be buzzing Waukesha County, don't harbor the Zika virus. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, not a single person has contracted the virus from a mosquito in the contiguous United States.

Foreign countries are different. Zika virus is a danger if you travel to Mexico, the Caribbean and some South American countries. Tropical mosquitoes in these areas carry the virus. More than 350 "travel-related" Zika cases have been reported in the United States, where people returned from a foreign country after being infected.

The glaring threat of Zika virus is its connection to severe birth defects, including

A Practical Application.

About two weeks ago the so called General Beem died. Since his death he has obtained more publicity than during his whole life. Out of his career of shame and disgrace many practical applications can be made; but whoever thought of making such a special one as did the local newspaper, Globe? This paper has taken overto be of American origin, is in danger of exchanging all the good qualities of his German nature for all the worthless contemptible traits of the Americans.

Woe unto those German parents who favor their children's degermanization in their stupid illusion that the English language, which they themselves understand very 3deficiently, is the superior one. In too many cases children learn only the scum of the conversational language and of the English papers they prefer those publishing scandals and indecent stories.

Therefore it is a crime which German parents commit against their children and this country, if they deliberately try to up root those excellent inborn German traits in order to make of them worthless mock Americans who are ashamed of their German origin.

Children, raised by German parents, with genuine


German discipline and honor, make the best American citizens, who highly esteem the German language as a dowry from their parental home. Those children of German descent, who despise their being of such parentage, usually turn out to be worthless, as was the case with Beem.Three projects from INDOT will cover repaving for S.R. 15 on both the north and south sides of Goshen, and U.S. 33 on the northwest side, according to an email from Goshen Mayor Allan Kauffman.

More Than 200 Immigrants Arrested at Texas Camp

Receive the latest local updates in your inbox

At least 80 immigrants suspected of entering the United States illegally were arrested in a makeshift encampment in suburban South Texas.

They were found in an undeveloped patch of scrub near an abandoned tennis club in McAllen. They were camped under tents and huts camouflaged with mesquite branches and cacti. Some told authorities they had been there sleeping on pieces of cardboard with little food or water for at least a week.

It was unclear whether any of those arrested Thursday afternoon were guides suspected of guarding the immigrants, Border Patrol spokesman Danny Tirado told The McAllen Monitor.

A short time later, Border Patrol arrested 132 immigrants found in two buildingson a property in Alton, about 8 miles west of McAllen, according to KRGV-TV.

The Border Patrol made more than 154,000 arrests on the section of the U.S.-Mexico border in southernmost Texas last year, more than anywhere else on the Southwest border. The majority of the immigrants come from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala.

Guides typically lead the immigrants across the Rio Grande in smaller groups and then mass them in so-called stash houses on the Texas side of the border until their transportation can be arranged for the next leg of their journey.

"We ate one burrito per day," said Alfredo Espinoza Rivera, who was arrested at the camp. He said he had left El Salvador about six weeks earlier, paying $7,000 to a smuggler. The 37-year-old said he was

The surface of the neck from the body to a distance of about 1/6 was rough and warty. But the surface of the neck above that place was smooth, on which a regular design could be seen.
