his outlandish
guest.  His curiosity was rather inflamed than satisfied with the
information he could obtain from this quarter; for all he learned was,
that the Persian went by the name of Ali Beker, and that he had lived in
the house for the space of four months, in a most solitary and
parsimonious manner, without being visited by one living soul; that, for
some time after his arrival, he had been often heard to groan dismally in
the night, and even to exclaim in an unknown language, as if he had
laboured under some grievous affliction; and though the first transports
of his grief had subsided, it was easy to perceive he still indulged a
deep-rooted melancholy; for the tears were frequently observed to trickle
down his beard.  The commissaire of the quarter had at firstthis here person is an outlaw; then if so be as
he has nothing to say to the contrary, my clerk shall make out a
mittimus, and so to jail with him till next 'size."  "But, sir," answered
the impeacher, "this is a case that admits of no delay; the person I have
apprehended is a prisoner of consequence to the state."  "How, fellor!"
cried the magistrate, interrupting him, "is there any person of more
consequence than one of his Majesty's justices of the peace, who is
besides a considerable member of the landed interest!  D'ye know, sirrah,
who you are talking to?  If you don't go about your business, I believe I
shall lay you by the heels."

The smuggler, fearing his prize would escape through the ignorance,
pride, and obstinacy of this country


house in Germany, who, for certain reasons,
had come abroad incognito, with a view to see the world; and that,
although the letters they had seized would prove the truth of that
assertion, he should be loth to expose his private concerns to the
knowledge of strangers, if he could possibly be released without that
mortification.  The young nobleman explained his desire to the court;
but, his own curiosity being interested, observed, at the same time,
that the justice could not be said to have discharged the duties of his
station, until he should have examined every circumstance relating to the
prisoner.  Upon which remonstrance, he was requested by the bench to
peruse the papers, and accordingly communicated the substance of one
letter to this effect:--

"MY DEAR SON,--Though I am far from approving the rash step youglass of canary, to quiet the perturbation of her
spirits.  This is a season, which of all others is most propitious to the
attempts of an artful lover; and justifies the metaphorical maxim of
fishing in troubled waters.  There is an affinity and short transition
betwixt all the violent passions that agitate the human mind.  They are
all false perspectives, which, though they magnify, yet perplex and
render indistinct every object which they represent.  And flattery is
never so successfully administered, as to those who know they stand in
need of friendship, assent, and approbation.

The cordial she swallowed, far from calming, increased the disturbance of
her thoughts, and produced an intoxication; during which, she talked in
an incoherent strain, laughed and wept by turns, and acted other
extravagances, which are known to be symptoms of


imagination.  He, like every other projector
in the same circumstances, was so partial to his own qualifications, as
to think the lady would soon perceive a difference between him and
Renaldo that could not fail to turn to his advantage in her opinion.  He
depended a good deal on the levity and inconstancy of the sex; and did
not doubt that, in the course of their acquaintance, he should profit by
that languor which often creeps upon and flattens the intercourse of
lovers cloyed with the sight and conversation of each other.

This way of arguing was very natural to a man who had never known other
motives than those of sensuality and convenience; and perhaps, upon these
maxims, he might have succeeded with nine-tenths of the fair sex.  But,
for once, he erred in histhan sheer benevolence and virtuous indignation, and
actually began to think he had made some impression upon her heart, not
that he now entertained the hope of an immediate triumph over her
chastity.  The more he contemplated her character, the more difficult the
conquest seemed to be: he therefore altered his plan, and resolved to
carry on his operations under the shelter of honourable proposals,
foreseeing that a wife of her qualifications, if properly managed, would
turn greatly to the account of the husband, or, if her virtue should
prove refractory, that he could at any time rid himself of the
encumbrance, by decamping without beat of drum, after he should be cloyed
with possession.

Elevated by these expectations, he one day, in the midst of a
preconcerted rhapsody, importing that he could no longer conceal the fire
that preyed


as the accomplished, the
virtuous, the melting lover, who had captivated her virgin heart.  As
Fathom led her to the door, she was met by Renaldo's dog, which had long
been her favourite; and the poor animal fawning upon her as she passed,
her heart was overwhelmed with such a gush of tenderness, that a flood of
tears streamed down her cheeks, and she had well-nigh sunk upon the
floor.

Ferdinand, considering this emotion as the last tribute she would pay to
Renaldo, hurried her into the coach, where she soon recovered her
composure; and in a little time he ushered her into the house of Madam la
Mer, by whom she was received with great cordiality, and conducted to her
apartment, with which she found no other fault than that of its being too
good for one inscarce performed three moves of the game,
when his ears were exposed to a dialogue between two young gentlemen, one
of whom asked the other if he would go and see the "Orphan" acted at one
of the theatres; observing, as a farther inducement, that the part of
Monimia would be performed by a young gentlewoman who had never appeared
on the stage.  At mention of that name, Renaldo started; for though it
did not properly belong to his orphan, it was the appellation by which
she had been distinguished ever since her separation from her father's
house, and therefore it recalled her to his imagination in the most
interesting point of view.  Though he endeavoured to expel the image, by
a closer application to his play, every now and then it intruded upon his
fancy, and


insolence of this woman, from whose barbarity she had no resource;
and, seeing no other possibility of redress than that of appealing to the
good offices of Fathom, she conquered her reluctance so far, as to
complain to him of Madam la Mer's incivility.

Pleased with this application, he gave her to understand, with very
little ceremony or preamble, that it wholly depended upon herself whether
she should continue to be wretched, or be delivered at once from all her
cares and perplexity; that, notwithstanding the disdain with which she
had treated his addresses, he was still ready to lay himself and his
fortune at her feet; and that, if she should again reject the
disinterested proposal, the whole world and her own conscience would
charge upon herself whatever calamities she might be subjected to in the
sequel.  Interpretingas
their custom was already bespoke for others of the profession, whom it
was their interest to employ, our adventurer might have starved amidst
the caresses of his acquaintance, had not he derived considerable
advantage from a lucky accident in the course of his expectancy.

A gentlewoman's daughter, of a weakly constitution, by drinking the
waters, had so far recovered her health and complexion, as to allure the
affection of a young squire in the neighbourhood, who amused her for some
time with his addresses, until his heart was seduced by the charms of
another young lady lately arrived at the wells.  The forsaken nymph,
shocked at this disgrace and mortification, relapsed into her former
languishing disorder; and was by her mother put under the management and
prescription of a physician, who had been an industrious enemy of Fathom
from


admirer, gave up the ghost, without having
retrieved the use of her senses, or been able to manifest, by will, the
sentiments she entertained in favour of her physician, who, as the reader
will easily perceive, had more reasons than one to be mortally chagrined
at this event.

Miss Biddy being thus put in possession of the whole inheritance, not
only renounced all correspondence with Doctor Fathom, by forbidding him
the house, but likewise took all opportunities of prejudicing his
character, by hinting, that her dear mamma had fallen a sacrifice to his
ignorance and presumption.

CHAPTER FIFTY-THREE

ACQUIRES EMPLOYMENT IN CONSEQUENCE OF A LUCKY MISCARRIAGE.

These ill offices, however, far from answering her purpose, had a quite
contrary effect.  For, in consequence of her invectives, he was, in a few
days, called to the wife of a merchant, who piouslyfoundation would, by a disciple of Plato, and some modern
moralists, be ascribed to the innate virtue and generosity of the human
heart, which naturally espouses the cause that needs protection.  But I,
whose notions of human excellence are not quite so sublime, am apt to
believe it is owing to that spirit of self-conceit and contradiction,
which is, at least, as universal, if not as natural, as the moral sense
so warmly contended for by those ideal philosophers.

The most infamous wretch often finds his account in these principles of
malevolence and self-love.  For wheresoever his character falls under
discussion there is generally some person present, who, either from an
affectation of singularity, or envy to the accusers, undertakes his
defence, and endeavours to invalidate the articles of his impeachment,
until he is heated by altercation, and


all agreeable either to the friends of the Count de Melvil, or to
her own relations, who knew her second husband to be a man of a violent
temper, and rapacious disposition, which the nature of his education and
employment had served rather to inflame than allay; for you well know he
was a partisan during the whole course of the late war.  They were,
moreover, equally surprised and chagrined, when they found she took no
step to prevent his seizing upon that inheritance which of right belonged
to you, and which, by the laws of Hungary, is unalienable from the heir
of blood.  Nevertheless, they are now fully convinced, that she hath more
than sufficiently atoned for her indiscretion, by the barbarity of her
husband, who hath not only secluded her from all communication withDon Diego, in consequence of a letter which he had received
from Melvil while he tarried at Mons, and that he, every post, expected a
favourable answer on that subject.

After dinner, the physician took his leave, though not before he had
promised to meet Renaldo at night, and accompany him in the repetition of
his midnight visit to Monimia's tomb; for this pilgrimage the unfortunate
youth resolved nightly to perform during the whole time of his residence
in England.  It was, indeed, a sort of pleasure, the prospect of which
enabled him to bear the toil of living through the day, though his
patience was almost quite exhausted before the hour of assignation
arrived.

When the doctor appeared with the coach, he leaped into it with great
eagerness, after he had, with much difficulty, prevailed with Don Diego
to


one another, and retired to their respective
lodgings in a transport of joy and satisfaction.

As for Renaldo, his rapture was still mixed with apprehension, that all
he had seen and heard was no more than an unsubstantial vision, raised by
some gay delirium of a disordered imagination.  While his breast
underwent those violent, though blissful emotions of joy and admiration,
his friend the Castilian spent the night in ruminating over his own
calamities, and in a serious and severe review of his own conduct.  He
compared his own behaviour with that of the young Hungarian, and found
himself so light in the scale, that he smote his breast with violence,
exclaiming in an agony of remorse:

"Count Melvil has reason to grieve; Don Diego to despair.  His
misfortunes flow from the villany of mankind; mine areevent.  He faithfully promised to attend the Count at the
appointed hour, and, in the meantime, earnestly exhorted him to take some
repose, in order to quiet the agitation of his spirits, which must have
been violently hurried on this occasion.  The advice was salutary, and
Renaldo resolved to follow it.

He returned to his lodgings, and laid himself down; but, notwithstanding
the fatigue he had undergone, sleep refused to visit his eyelids, all his
faculties being kept in motion by the ideas that crowded so fast upon his
imagination.  Nevertheless, though his mind continued in agitation, his
body was refreshed, and he arose in the forenoon with more serenity and
vigour than he had enjoyed for many months.  Every moment his heart
throbbed with new rapture, when he found himself on the brink of
possessing


your command; and had not he been afraid of giving umbrage to the
peculiar delicacy of your sentiments, he would have pressed you to use it
for your convenience.  For my own part, over and above the inclination I
have to serve Don Diego, I consult my own private advantage in desiring
you to accept my service on this occasion.  Money is the chief commodity
in which I deal, and, if you honour me with your commands, I shall be a
gainer by my obedience."

Don Diego replied, with a smile that denoted how well he understood the
meaning of this address, "Surely, Signior, I am bound by the strongest
ties to exert my utmost endeavours for your advantage; and I pray God
this your proposal may have that issue.  I am well acquainted withand that was spent in
procuring a licence, and adjusting the preparations for the grand
festival.  Don Diego in the forenoon visited Madam Clement, to whom he
repeated his warm acknowledgments of her bounty and maternal affection to
his daughter, and presented to Serafina bank notes to the amount of five
hundred pounds, to defray the necessary expense for her wedding
ornaments.

All the previous steps being taken for the solemnisation of this
interesting event, and the hour of appointment arrived, the bridegroom,
accompanied by his father-in-law, hastened to the place of rendezvous,
which was the vestry-room of the church we have already described; where
they were received by the good clergyman in his canonicals; and here they
had not waited many minutes, when they were joined by Madam Clement and
the amiable bride, escorted by the friendly physician, who


Melvil, for whom it was intended; and the young creature was so much
confounded at this information, that, before she could recollect herself,
Melvil had opened the billet, and read these words: "If this paper should
fall into the hands of the noble Renaldo, he will understand, that Fathom
was the most execrable traitor that ever imposed upon unsuspecting
benevolence, or attempted to betray a generous benefactor.  His whole
life was a series of fraud, perfidy, and the most abominable ingratitude.
But, of all the crimes that lay heavy upon his soul, his being accessory
to the death of the incomparable Serafina, whose father he had also
robbed, was that for which he despaired of Heaven's forgiveness,
notwithstanding the dreadful compunction and remorse which have long
preyed upon his heart, together with the incredible misery and deplorable
death whichThen I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon.

During the second half of the 1970s, the practice of the closed shop became widespread in some parts of the British public sector, but was resisted in others.

The paper examines the origin and patterns of these demands, health authority policies towards them, and their outcomes in terms both of the operation of the closed shops which were agreed, and the reasons for failure to agree.

Test matches?"

The value of swinging deliveries in adding to the spectacle was never more evident than in the enthralling contest between Jimmy Anderson and Virat Kohli. Here we had the king of swing doing battle with the prince of willow-wielders.

Throughout that battle for supremacy, Anderson maintained a high standard of outswing bowling that not only consistently challenged Kohli but also saw him dropped in the slips. With the game delicately poised and the high skill level of the two contestants involved, it was reminiscent of that wonderful battle between Shane Warne and Sachin Tendulkar at Chepauk in 1998.

On that occasion India's champion counterattacked brilliantly to take his celebrated Australian opponent down, eventually leading to victory for the home side. At Edgbaston, Kohli took a different tack. Utilising amixture of determination and watchful defence he wore Anderson down - albeit with some help from the butterfingered English slip fielders.

Having survived Anderson's challenging examination Kohli went on to dominate the Indian first innings, scoring 82 of the 91 runs accumulated for the last two wickets. It was a similar dominance near the end of Stan McCabe's glorious double-century at Trent Bridge in 1938 that caused captain Don Bradman to summon his players onto the balcony with the words; "You will never see anything like this again."

"With swing bowling being such a crucial ingredient in producing a good contest, it's time to ask: Should the Dukes ball be trialled world-wide with a view to using it in all Test matches?"

Desperate to erase memories of his failures in 2014,


Kohli was at his best in first duelling with Anderson and then dominating the England bowling. He capitalised on his good fortune, and the spate of missed catches was the only spoiler in what was overall an excellent example of Test cricket skills.

Both England and India were sloppy in the slips, with a combination of poor technique and faulty alignment being to blame for the shoddy work. One reason for both sides dropping catches is that the fielders are standing too close to each other, thereby causing confusion. It also doesn't help that England don't employ their best catchers in the slips. Joe Root moved himself from slip to mid-off, which made no sense when Anderson and Stuart Broad, the two most experienced bowlers in the side, wereoperating. The absence of the mercurial Ben Stokes from the slips, except when the spinner is bowling, is also mystifying. For their part the Indian bowlers can't be bristling with confidence when some slip fielders' fingers are heavily bandaged; generally that's a sure sign of misadventure.

Part of England's success with the ball can be attributed to the increased variety in their attack. The addition of Sam Curran's vibrant left-arm swing and Stokes' rejuvenation with the ball made a huge difference to an attack that lacked variety in Australia.

India's search for a seam-bowling allrounder is still a work in progress but Hardik Pandya displayed determination and discipline to go with his undoubted skills in an important partnership with Kohli. Perhaps a move to number six would further bolster his

Let's meet our debaters with the motion being, "The U.S. Should Let in 100,000 Syrian Refugees." Welcoming the team arguing for that motion, first, ladies and gentlemen, greet Robert Ford.

[applause]

And, Robert Ford, you're a senior fellow at the Middle East Institute.

00:06:04 You have had a long career in the ForeignThe victims of sexual abuse by refugees and migrants in Germany, and Austria, and Sweden -- since the turn of the year -- now number nearly 1,000. The giddy mood of the fall has faded.

00:21:03 Almost two -thirds of Germans say their country has accepted too many refugees. And here in the United States, too, a new sobriety about Syrian refugees is taking hold.

Jessica and I welcome tonight's debate as a step toward this new sobriety. Here's ourplan for tonight. I will open by arguing that mass resettlement of refugees in the Middle East is not in the American interest. When I say "mass," I mean mass. Clearly, there are individuals and families wh

o need to be in the West, who have family connections, who belong to the


the second generation of Middle Eastern migrants, those who will be born here. It was people born in the West who carried out the Paris massacres, who murdered the editorial staff at Charlie Hebdo, and the shoppers at Paris' s Kosher Hyper

Cacher , who shot up the Brussels Jewish Community Center and a Jewish School in Toulouse . It was a man born in Chicago, Illinois, who committed mass slaughter in San Bernardino. To date, the United States has suffered far less from this internal self-

radicalization than Europe has suffered. Americans owe their greater security to a very practical fact.

00:26:04 While the United States has experienced a large surge of low -skilled migra tion from countries in this hemisphere, its migration from the greater Middle East has beenmore carefully selected. Migrants who bring with them the skills and values that lead to success in the United States are likely to raise successful and well- integrated children. Those who don't, won't. We have a very relevant precedent for what's proposed with the Syrians, America's experience with Somalian refugees. Since 1990,

the United States has admitted the same -- about the same round number of Somalian r efugees that is proposed for Syria tonight, about 100,000 people. A quarter century onward, unemployment amongst Somali Americans exceeds 20 percent, and the second largest Somali community in the country, in the state of Maine, half the men never worked at all in the five years before the Great Recession started. Almost all Somali Americans , to this day , receive


We don't want that. Finally, I just want to conclude with one remark about what David said. I

lived in Syria for a bit over a year and I visited it as a tourist several times. I never sawthat Syria was lawless.

I never saw that Syria was particularly tribal. Most Syrians are not tribal because they live in big cities. Damascus, Homs -- they d id before the conflict.

They're big cities, very urban. And they're exceptionally sophisticated.

00:34:04 And in fact, if you look at the Syrian immigrant population here in the United States, the Syrian -American communities here in the United States, you will see that as well.

Doctors, business owners -- here in New York City, many, many Syrian -American -owned businesses. It is an urbane culture. It iscan speak to about, from 26 cities in which we work, is one where 80 percent of people from Syria are in work within six months. Now, the way in which you achieve that is by insuring that you do give people the help. As it happens, 31 percent of Syrians arriving in the United States have got upper secondary or university education, not all of them.

01:04:09 Some of them have only go t six years of education. Those who have six years of education need a lot of extra help. The man who was in the box at the State of the Union last night was a surgeon with three Ph.D.s. He doesn't need extra education. He needs a chance to restart his life. And I would

and then after three years he's been resettled and he's the valedictorian in his high sc hool and he's going to the New York School of Film and Design, what I think is that this country has a genius for bringing people together across lines of race and religion andcolor and creed, and that is something that is incredibly precious and you should be shouting about that from the rooftops.

Former Slovak Deaf Olympics Committee head sentenced 13 years

Former Slovak Deaf Olympic Committee head Jaromir Ruda was sentenced 13 years in jail by Banska Bystrica Regional Court for fraud on Tuesday.

Ruda will serve the sentence in a medium-security penitentiary for embezzling 1.6 million Euros (about 2.1 million US dollars allocated for the preparation of the 2008 Deaf Olympic Games in the High Tatras, which was cancelled prior to scheduled date. Several teams had already traveled to Slovakia in readiness for the event.

The Regional Court upgraded the charges of embezzling in Rudo's case to fraud.

"The client has now spent three years in custody, so he's already come to terms with his situation. However, he believes he's innocent and we'll do our utmost to prove it (on appeal)," said Rudo'sfrom being interested in such a product. However, the lack of aesthetic appeal is only the beginning of the undesirability of such a golf club head, as the multiple elements required to incorporate such an adjustable hosel contraption adds a significant amount of weight around the hosel portion of the golf club head. Having excessive weight around the hosel portion of a golf club head may generally be undesirable, as this excessive weight shifts the Center of Gravity (CG) of the golf club head higher and more forward.
It is generally understood in the industry that having a golf club head with a CG location that is higher and more forward is undesirable, as it shifts the CG away from the impact axis between a golf club and a


golf ball. In fact, it is generally desirable to have the CG located in an opposite direction than what is described above, yielding a CG location that is lower and further back within the body of the golf club head. This lower and further back CG location may generally be in closer alignment with the impact axis, creating a more efficient energy transfer between the golf club and the golf ball. In addition to creating a more efficient energy transfer, a CG location that is lower and further back from the striking face of the golf club head may increase the Moment of Inertia (MOI) of the golf club head, as more weight being placed away from the impact plane of the golf club head could help theGallery: See every MLB ballpark ahead of Opening Day

Nearly 4.3 million public school students, representing about 8.7 percent of the national public school student population, are enrolled in the 21 TUDA districts, according to 2006-2007 enrollment figures (the last year available from Common Core Data).

The idea for a big-city version of the national NAEP originated in 2000, when the Council of the Great City Schools—a coalition of the nation's large urban public school districts—requested the Governing Board to conduct a trial NAEP assessment for large urban school districts that volunteered to participate. Congress first authorized funding for TUDA in 2002 and has supported the expansion from the five initial


volunteering districts to the current 21.

The National Assessment of Educational Progress is the only nationally representative, continuing evaluation of the condition of education in the United States. It has served as a national yardstick of student achievement since 1969. Through the Nation's Report Card, NAEP informs the public about what American students know and can do in various subject areas and compares achievement between states, large urban districts, and various student demographic groups.

The National Assessment Governing Board is an independent, bipartisan board whose members include governors, state legislators, local and state school officials, educators, business representatives and members of the general public. Congress created the 26-member Governing Board in 1988 to oversee and set policy for NAEP.

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is a congressionally authorized projectAnd when the FBI moves in--more interested in nabbing a Nazi nutcase than a malicious mobster murderer--the local cops clear out, leaving Judith, Joe and irrepressible cousin Renie to find out who whacked the wiseguy before the hits keep coming.

About the Author

Seattle native Mary Daheim began telling stories with pictures when she was four. Since she could neither read nor write, and her artistic talent was questionable, her narratives were sometimes hard to follow. By second grade, she had learned to string together both subjects and predicates, and hasn't stopped writing since. A former newspaper reporter and public relations consultant, Daheims first of seven historical romances was published in 1983. In addition to Avon Books' Bed-and-Breakfast series featuring Judith McMonigle Flynn, Daheim also pens the Alpine mysteries


for Ballantine. She is married to David Daheim, a retired college instructor, and has three daughters -- Barbara, Katherine and Magdalen.

Responders pulled people from their submerged homes, situated them in rafts or choppers and whisked them to safe and dry ground.

The storm's US death toll climbed to 21 on Monday, with North Carolina reporting 11 deaths , Florida reporting four, and three each in South Carolina and Georgia.

Federal funding is available to people in Beaufort, Bladen, Columbus, Cumberland, Edgecombe, Hoke, Lenoir, Nash, Pitt, and Robeson counties.

Flooding in Lumberton

In the eastern North Carolina city of Lumberton, in


one of the counties included in the President's disaster declaration, rescuers worked to save 1,500 people stranded by flooding.

"We have people on roofs (there) as we speak," North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory said earlier Monday.

The Federal Aviation Administration has ordered flight restrictions over the area so helicopters can rescue them.

Kellie Blue, Robeson County, North Carolina, spokeswoman, said around 3,000 people were sent to shelters after the flooding but the county has no precise figure on the total number residents forced from their homes.

She said ice and water were being shipped in because about 26,000 utility customers in the county lacked water.

Utility crews were working to repair water lines but once water mains were fixed, another road was washed out, and lines burst again.

At one point, she said, peoplewere evacuated to a shelter that had to be evacuated because of flooding.

There are 800 residents living in an evacuation shelter at a high school. Four people remain missing in the county, she said.

Homes, restaurants and business have been lost, she said.

"Our board of education is destroyed," Blue said. "It's completely underwater."

The state reported the evacuation of a prison threatened by flooding. Authorities said 797 inmates from the Neuse Correctional Institution in Goldsboro were taken to other prisons in the state system.

The minimum-security facility for male inmates is near downtown Goldsboro and near the confluence of the Little River and the Neuse River.

Taking shelter at a town hall

Authorities in Marion


County, South Carolina, used boats and helicopters to rescue the last members of a group of 150 people who sought shelter against the Lumber River in the Nichols, South Carolina, town hall.

People had been in the town hall since 9 p.m. Sunday, according to Kent Williams, who is the Marion County deputy administrator and a state legislator.

"With the Lumber River and all the rain that Matthew dumped on us, it was more than they could handle. That was pretty much the safest place for them to be," Williams said. "The town hall was the high ground."

Rescue teams took them to a middle school in Mullins.

"The water is rising so fast it's scary. The river is not scheduled to crest until ten in the morning. It's the worst we'veseen it," Williams said.

Massive power outages

About 500,000 structures in North Carolina didn't have power Monday.

"That's probably well over 1 million people without power," McCrory said. "That's 10% of our population in North Carolina -- all in a very small area. At least 10%."

More than 469,000 South Carolina customers didn't have power Monday, Gov. Nikki Haley said. She said 8,000 linemen were working to get electricity restored.

And Florida, the first state thrashed by Matthew, still had 169,000 customers without power Monday, Gov. Rick Scott's office said.

Matthew also played havoc with the state's voter registration process. On Monday, a court extended the voter registration deadline because evacuations.

Along with the 21 official storm-related deaths in the United States, a member of a tree-removal crew in Florida clearing debris in left behind by Hurricane Matthew lost his life on Monday when a large log rolled on top of him. The incident occurred shortly before 6 p.m. in the Halifax Plantation community near Ormond Beach in Volusia County's extreme northeast corner, not far from the border with Flagler County.

The US deaths came after Matthew devastated parts of the Caribbean, killing more than 300 people in Haiti, said Paul Altidor, Haitian ambassador to the United States. Others report much higher death tolls.

Palestinian Authority police cracked down on a Hamas protest in the southern West Bank city of Hebron on Friday, beating demonstrators with batons and throwing stun grenades.

Some 50 Hamas activists confronted Palestinian forces after Muslim prayers on Friday, as the terror group marked the 31st anniversary of its establishment.

An Associated Press cameraman said Palestinian police brutally beat Hamas activists to disperse the protest, injuring five and arresting 15.

Meanwhile, street clashes between Israeli soldiers and Palestinian protesters erupted outside Ramallah, with protesters slinging rocks and soldiers responding with tear gas.

Tensions have escalated in the West Bank as Israel presses on with a manhunt for the Palestinian gunman that killed two Israeli soldierson Thursday, the second fatal attack this week. Israel has boosted its forces and arrested dozens of Hamas members in an overnight raid.

On social media sites, people posted videos showing Palestinian security forces using batons against both male and female demonstrators in Hebron.

In Nablus in the northern West Bank, protesters from other Palestinian factions clashed with Hamas demonstrators after they raised the group’s flag during a demonstration, witnesses said.

Adnan al-Damiri, spokesman for the Palestinian police, confirmed they prevented a pro-Hamas protest in Hebron, called initially to demonstrate against Israel.

“But Hamas… demonstrated against the Palestinian Authority (PA) and its security services in the city center and not against the (Israeli) occupation.”

A senior PA official told The Times of Israel the Hamas demonstrators were blocking the central Ain Sara Street,


and did not have the necessary permits.

On Friday, Hamas condemned the PA for suppressing the demonstrations. Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said in a statement on the Hamas website that the “barbaric behavior” was proof the PA “denigrated the blood of the martyrs.”

The Palestinian Authority, led by president Mahmoud Abbas and his Fatah party, cooperates closely with Israeli security, while Hamas has fought three wars with the Jewish state since 2008.

Hamas cells continue operate in the West Bank despite PA and Israeli efforts to arrest them. The protests come amid a surge of terror attacks in the West Bank, some of them claimed by Hamas.

Two Israeli soldiers were killed Thursday and two other Israelis injured when a man opened fire at a bus stop at a settlement in thethe severity with which Israel views the shootings.

“Our guiding principle is that whoever attacks us and whoever tries to attack us will pay with his life,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday.

The Hamas terrorist movement has controlled the Gaza Strip since forcing out Abbas’s forces in 2007, with the two at loggerheads since.

The West Bank has seen an increase in the number of attacks on Israeli civilians and soldiers in recent weeks, after months of relative calm in the area, raising concerns of a potential renewed outbreak of regular, serious violence in the region.

The military blamed the increase in attacks both on the Hamas terror groups’ ongoing efforts, the copycat phenomenon and a number of significant dates coming up this week, notably the anniversary of the Hamas’ founding.

I was off at 11:22, so again, no stupidly early start.

The race was based at Sedbergh school, which was very posh. Registered and bike racked with plenty of time to spare, me and my beautiful wife headed to the pool to watch the earlier waves. The swim was 400m, with three people in each lane and only four lanes, meant that it was not too busy. The funny layout of the pool did mean that we were starting and finishing in the deep end, which some people found difficult to climb out, and then you had to go up a flight of stairs, across the balcony and then down more stairs before a short run to transition.

One guy in my wave decided that the run to transition wasa deep-seated mistrust about the direction Hong Kong is headed, under the leadership of a government that too often looks like it listens to Beijing more than its own people.

Two warning shots were fired by police at 2am.

Hong Kong’s “Umbrella Movement” shut down the center of town for months in 2014, ending without the government giving any ground on the voting rules that sparked the protests in the first place. But anger at the Beijing-backed government has simmered below the surface. Mong Kok was the site of a parallel protest in 2014 that expanded beyond students to retirees and blue-collar workers concerned about the Communist Party’s reach into Hong Kong.

Since then, Beijing’s grip on the city has only tightened. Once thought impossible, some Hong Kong residents were recently

The subject matter disclosed herein relates to a compressor of a gas turbine system and, more particularly, to systems and methods for icing detection of the compressor of the gas turbine system.
Gas turbine systems generally include a compressor, a combustor, and a turbine. The compressor receives air from an air intake, compresses the air, and subsequently directs the compressed air to the combustor. The combustor combusts a mixture of the compressed air and a fuel to produce hot combustion gases. The combustion gases are directed to the turbine to produce work, such as to drive an electrical generator or other load. In some conditions, the air supplied to the air intake of the gas turbine system may include super cooled water droplets, which may result in inlet icing.What You Need to Know:* Georgia State will close out non-conference play on Saturday at Chattanooga looking to tie the record for most non-conference wins in program history.* The Panthers have won five of their last seven games with the only two losses coming in overtime.* Sophomore D'Marcus Simonds leads the Panthers averaging 21.2 points per game which is ranked No. 30 in the country.

Church carrying two folding chairs which she intended to put into her automobile parked nearby. As she approached her car a young black man walked in front of her and looked at her in a way that frightened her. Because of her fear, she leaned the two chairs against the side of her car and proceeded back to the church. She had difficulty handling her keys and in opening the church door. As she opened the door, another black youth approached and began to tug at her purse. Mrs. McCauley and the youth struggled over the purse for a period of time that seemed to Mrs. McCauley to be a minute or a minute and a half. When the strap broke, the youth escaped with her purse containingcontaining three black youths for the sole reason that one of the passengers appeared to the officers to match the broadcast description. However the passenger in question, who was defendant, was wearing a buttoned cardigan over a visible white shirt with brown stripes, grey slacks, and a hat. He also had with him a black scarf, used to hold his hair down. He had a thin mustache. When first seen by the officers, he was sitting in the car so that his height could not easily be determined; after he alighted, one of the officers judged his height to be between 5 feet 10 inches and 5 feet 11 inches. Defendant told the officers that he was 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighed 150 pounds. The record


does not otherwise indicate his actual height.
*826 At the officers' request defendant voluntarily accompanied them to the police station for viewing by the victim. He was not arrested at this time and was not advised as to his legal rights. In the meantime, the victim of the robbery, Mrs. McCauley, was brought in a patrol car to the police station where she was joined by her husband, a Vallejo police officer. She examined without success a number of police photographs in an attempt to identify the robber.[1] She then viewed, through a one-way mirror, two black youths accompanied by an individual in civilian clothes. Mrs. McCauley immediately rejected one of the two, but considered the other for a little longer because he wore dark clothing and was ofthe responsible [sic]." Miss Birch testified at trial that Mrs. McCauley "stated she could not definitely swear that this was the man; she was positive that it was him, but could not definitely swear." At trial Mrs. McCauley denied having made these statements at the viewing. She testified that she positively identified defendant by his face and was uncertain only because he was wearing a white shirt at the viewing rather than a dark "turtleneck."
Several hours after the viewing, about 1 a.m., the officer in charge of the investigation telephoned Mrs. McCauley because he was apparently troubled as to whether he should continue to hold defendant. He asked Officer McCauley, who had answered the phone, whether his wife, who had retired for the night, would return to the


credit cards or her driver's license or bankbook were found in defendant's possession.
A few days after the robbery, a 12-year-old boy found Mrs. McCauley's purse near his home and returned it to Officer McCauley. Officer McCauley dusted the purse for fingerprints and found two smudged prints; but although he was not an expert in fingerprinting, he decided not to forward the prints to any agency for identification. The purse did not contain Mrs. McCauley's money nor her driver's license and at least one credit card was missing, all of which items remain unaccounted for.
After the preliminary examination defendant was held to answer on the charge of robbery. On February 22, 1968, defendant moved under section 995 of the Penal Code to set aside the information on the groundthat any identification evidence to be given by the victim and sole witness was tainted by the illegal pretrial confrontation. After a hearing, the motion was denied.
At trial Mrs. McCauley on direct examination made without objection an in-court identification of defendant as the youth who had stolen her purse. On cross-examination she testified relative to the pretrial identification procedures in which she had participated at the police station on the night of the robbery; she also stated that her in-court identification was based upon "what happened at the church" rather than "what [she] saw at the police station."
The prosecution completed its case in chief with the testimony of Officer McCauley. The defense then called Policewoman Birch, who testified as above indicated relative to the viewing at the police


in question was indeed violative of Wade, and recognizing that this fact required a determination as to independent origin on its part, the court stated: "The Court ... has reviewed the evidence which was adduced in the course of this trial. And, conceding that several of the points raised in Wade and Stovall were present here, the Court nevertheless has concluded that the in-court identification by the victim in this case had an independent origin and she also testified as to her specific observations at the time and place of the robbery itself. [Par.] Accordingly, the motion for the new trial is denied...."
Defendant contends that the victim's viewing of him at the Vallejo police station on January 5, 1968,[4] was conducted in violation of the constitutional principles enunciatedfor the prostitute’s services and how many trips took place.

But both Rechnitz and Jeremy Reichberg, another subject of the joint FBI-NYPD probe, accompanied the cops during one getaway to Sin City, a source said.

Since then, the club’s performances have disappointed a fan base that has seen one playoff appearance and one playoff-game victory since Guillen led the team to a World Series title in 2005. The Sox were 63-99 in 2013, 73-89 in 2014 and 76-86 in 2015 and are 78-83 (after a 23-10 start) in 2016.

The general consensus as the season winded down was that Hahn, vice president Ken Williams and chairman Jerry Reinsdorf would make a change, although Ventura said in August he hoped to continue.

On Wednesday, a report the Sox were willing to bring Ventura back if he was willing to return played to unfavorable, even hostile, reviews from a fan base and certain media. When


asked by reporters later that day if he wanted to manage next year, Ventura steered clear, saying he would wait till after the season to discuss his future.

Indications are Ventura, a good soldier who holds Reinsdorf in high regard, will move on with no regrets, ill feelings or desire to stay.

What is an abscessed tooth?

When a tooth persistently throbs and keeps you up at night with pain, it could be something more worrisome than just a toothache. An abscessed tooth is an infection within a tooth that has spread to the root tip or around the root. This infection originates from the tooth's inner chamber, which is called the "pulp chamber." Contained within the pulp chamber are blood vessels and nerves, collectively called the ”pulp.” Prior to the formation of an

Chicago Homegrown Player Harry Shipp started the play, finding Maloney on the left side of the area. The Scotsman showed some skill with a couple of stepovers before cutting inside and sending a shot through traffic that snuck past Bendik.
