He has not responded specifically to the recent allegations but said he fully supported an investigation and wanted to allow the time and space for it to proceed. He had previously apologised for hurt caused by past relationships with women in his community.

The report says the allegations point to “a pattern of behaviour”. Conducted with the assistance of Carol Merchasin, a retired lawyer and sexual misconduct investigator, it says: “Shambhala International was aware of these actions and did nothing.”

The news follows the resignation of nine members of the Shambhala organisation’s highest leadership body. A law firm in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where the community has its headquarters, has been hired to investigate allegations against the community’s leader.

The Woodberry Down Development Team (Hackney Council, Berkeley Homes and supported by Transport for London) are consulting on "changes to Seven Sisters Road, from Green Lanes to the west and Amhurst Park to the east, as part of the on‑going regeneration of the area".

They have offered six 'ideas':

Since the bus priority measures on West Street and Old Market on the A420 corridor, there has been an increase in private motor vehicles using St Philips Road as a rat-run causing conflict with the volume of cycle traffic. The end journey for users of the Railway Path acts as a barrier to new cyclists.

In the fall of 1972, the New York City Marathon organizer Fred Lebow contacted The New York Times. He told reporters to come to the start line of the race, then in its third year, promising a sight they would not want to miss.

The race would be the largest yet, with over 250 runners set to attempt the 26.2-mile course, all of which would be run in Central Park.

In the crowd were six women, front and center. They approached the start line and prepared to run in the first New York City Marathon in which women’s results would count.

           Lewis was released from the ISF in the early morning hours of February 25, 2011.

Following his release, Lewis went back to the apartment. Arges was there, but took her time

Scottish Friends of Palestine acknowledge the contribution made by Liz Cameron to the civic life of Glasgow during her long career as a councillor and Bailie for the City of Glasgow. We note the expressions of confidence and appreciation made in the media and elsewhere with regard to this long career. It is with regret that Scottish Friends of Palestine finds itself at variance with some of the opinion expressed.

When a member of public raises concerns with Scottish Friends of Palestine regarding the public, online profile and postings of Cllr Cameron, Executive Member for Children, Young People and Lifelong Learning – particularly her stated admiration and support for the state of Israel – then we are duty bound to raisecontrol and authority?”

It is with deep regret that Scottish Friends of Palestine finds itself in the position of critical friend of Glasgow City Council. Over the years and decades the Council has been supportive of Palestinian rights and has worked with Scottish Friends of Palestine. This summer the Palestine Youth Orchestra spent a week in Glasgow before setting out on a successful tour of Scotland and the wider UK. This was only possible through close cooperation with Glasgow City Council and Scottish Friends of Palestine.

The raison d’etre of Scottish Friends of Palestine includes the duty to challenge those situations which accord the state of Israel an additional veneer to its flimsy coating of respectability. When a “stalwart” of the Council such as Cllr Cameron publicly declares a position


which adds to this veneer, a position completely at odds with her current Council profile and responsibilities, we have no alternative than to make every effort to address the situation.

The report and photo in this CNN link show an armed Israeli soldier trying to arrest an 11 year old Palestinian boy, with his arm in a plaster cast, during one of the regular protests (against the settlement policy of the occupier) in the West Bank village of Nabi Saleh.

Although sources were not provided (but are available) the following information was given

A 13 year old girl was shot by an Israeli soldier. It later transpired that she was trying to visit the scene of the fatal shooting of her aunt, once again by an Israeli soldier, some months earlier.

APalestinian youth, phoning while on the roof of his house, heard a voice shouting “Where do you want it?” This was followed by multiple gunshot wounds to his body by a nearby Israeli sniper.

Whole families being forced from their homes into the open (a not uncommon practice), in the Jordan Valley, while Israeli forces carry out live firing practice in and around their village.

Houses being demolished and, in at least one case, a classroom demolished.

And, despite Israel agreeing to ban the practice, Palestinian children are still wakened up in the early hours of the morning with the snout of both the machine gun of some Israeli “Robo cop” and his attack dog inches from their head as the occupation forces search for some alleged suspect who, more often


have been grossly wronged. Suspicion is a potent emotion, but it must be tempered by evidence.

Over centuries, the law has sought to restrain the excesses of authorities, a civic compact that is the product of the long experience of finding the balance between community protection and freedom. Governments should be exceedingly careful before meddling with this balance, for the risks of unintended consequences are tremendous.

The federal government has proposed a suite of legislative changes in the name of national security, which Mr Abbott has conceded will mean ''for some time to come, the delicate balance between freedom and security may have to shift''. The reason, according to the government, is to fill ''pressing gaps'' in the present legislative regime. Given all the reviews and amendments in this areaSaturday, September 24, 2016

No Population Continuity Between Pre Toba And Extant Humans In India

A few years ago stone tools were discovered in the Jurreru Valley region of Kurnool district, South India, in sediment stratigraphically below a volcanic ash layer dated to around seventy four thousand years ago. This was the deposit of the famous Toba eruption. Michael Petraglia, an archaeologist based at the University of Oxford, England, suggested that these tools were made by Homo sapiens. This would mean that our species had first migrated out of Africa and into India perhaps as early as hundred thousand years during the Marine Isotope Stage 5 interglacial phase when ecological corridors may have opened up between Africa, Arabia and the Indian subcontinent. This is much before the more commonly accepted


dates of around fifty to sixty thousands years ago. Other scientists objected and argued that the tools were made by an earlier species of archaic Homo, perhaps descendants of Homo erectus who had migrated to India more than a million years ago. The various theories of the dispersal of Homo sapiens from Africa has been summarized well recently in an article by Huw. S Groucutt and colleagues.

The earliest unequivocal skeletal evidence of the presence of
anatomically modern humans in the Indian subcontinent comes from Sri
Lanka where these remains have been dated to be around thirty five
thousand years old. They represent humans from the later wave of the out
of Africa migrations.

A related question was left dangling. If these tools were made by people from an earlier migration of Homo sapiens,then is there population continuity between those older migrants and living Indians? Did later migrants mix with the earlier inhabitants or did the earlier human populations go extinct without leaving a genetic legacy in us.

There were other hints of the presence of an older wave of Homo sapiens migration into India. The Indian Early to Mid Pleistocene hominin skeletal record is quite poor with examples only from the Narmada Valley at Hathnora and Nethankari . At the latter site, a humerus interpreted to represent a "short and stocky" early Homo sapiens has been found associated with delicate bone implements. The remains may be around seventy five thousand years old or even older. At Hathnora, two clavicles and a partial 9th rib was recovered from a layer of fluvial


of agriculture saw population growth and the migration and mixing of people. Many of these populations had diverged and remained relatively isolated for more than twenty thousand years, accumulating significant cultural, linguistic and physical difference between them. Yet, the result of the meeting of these people was mostly not the genetic disappearance of one group, but admixture and the formation of modern groups with multiple streams of ancestry.

Today's Europeans contain ancestry from three different groups. A small fraction from earlier resident hunter gatherers and the more substantial fraction from Near East farmers and from Central Asian steppe pastoralists. When Europeans began colonizing the Americas, the native populations suffered immensely from disease and subjugation. But there was also genetic admixture. Native Americans today, both from South and North Americas,contain a noticeable amount of European and African ancestry.

In the Indian context multiple events of mixing in the Holocene took place between residents (the Ancestral South Indians) and migrants from the Eurasian regions (the Ancestral North Indians). Additions layers of ancestry to the Indian melting pot (but common more in the eastern parts of the country) were contributed by migration of the Tibeto-Burman and the Austroasiatic people from the north east.

Why did the older group of Homo sapiens go extinct? According to Dr Pagani, one of the scientists involved in the first study I listed above “They may have not been technologically advanced, living in small groups,”... “Maybe it was easy for a major later wave that was more successful to wipe them out.”

The GST Council will on Friday consider slashing GST rate on electric vehicles to 5 per cent, from 12 per cent currently, along with extension of the tenure of the anti-profiteering authority by a year till November 2020, an official said.

The 35th meeting of the GST Council and the first under Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will also consider a couple of anti-evasion steps such as integration of e-way bill with NHAI's FASTag from April 1, 2010, and asking businesses with a turnover of over Rs 50 crore to issue e-invoice for B2B (business-to-business) sales, as well as asking states to make e-ticketing mandatory for all movie halls.

The Council will also consider tweaking GST


by the Authority for Advance Ruling in different states, a move aimed at providing certainty to taxpayers.

To give a push to manufacturing electric vehicles, the Council will consider slashing GST rates to 5 per cent from 12 per cent, the official said.

GST rate for petrol and diesel cars and hybrid vehicles is already at the highest bracket of 28 per cent plus cess. Besides, the Council will also consider extending the tenure of the National Anti-Profiteering Authority (NAA) by a year till November 30, 2020, as the authority continues to receive consumer complaints of profiteering against companies.

The NAA came into existence on November 30, 2017, after its chairman BN Sharma assumed charge. So far, the NAA has passed 67 orders in various cases.

A suspect was charged Tuesday with torturing and killing his girlfriend in West Hollywood, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.

Blake Leibel, 35, pleaded not guilty to one count of murder, mayhem, aggravated mayhem and torture. Officials said he may be eligible for the death penalty.

Blake Leibel is accused of murdering his 30-year-old girlfriend and mother of his child, Iana Kasian, on or between May 23 and May 26, at an apartment they shared in West Hollywood.

Officials said Kasian was tortured and mutilated before she was killed, and all of her blood was drained from her body.

Blake Leibel was arrested on Thursday after he had barricaded himself in the apartment in the 8500 block of Holloway Drive.

The incident began as a missing person case, when the


woman's mother called out of concern that she hadn't heard from her daughter for a day or two, according to the L.A. County Sheriff's Department.

The suspect had barricaded the door of the apartment with furniture, but deputies forced their way inside, searched and found Kasian dead in a bedroom. She had apparently suffered blunt force trauma to the head, according to sheriff's Lt. Dave Coleman.

ABC7 learned more about the background of the accused killer. The Toronto Star reported he is the son of wealthy real estate developer Lorne Leibel, who is credited with building more than 30,000 homes in the Toronto area.

The elder Leibel is also famous for his love of fast cars and often goes by the nickname, "Ferrari man."

Blake Leibel was seen in an interview fromComic Con in New York in 2008 talking about comic books that he authored. He gave one of those books to Michael Yurman, who lives next door to his multi-million dollar Hollywood home.

Other neighbors said Blake Leibel didn't live there long, though there was always activity at the house, which was now silent.

Kasian's brother and family in the Ukraine posted on Facebook asking for assistance to get her body back for burial. They also asked for help with legal fees for the victim's infant daughter, who is a U.S. citizen.

Blake Leibel faces the death penalty or life in prison without the possibility of parole. His next court date was scheduled for June 14.

MJ Rodriguez (Blanca) is a theater and film actress who has appeared on Nurse Jackie, The Carrie Diaries, and Luke Cage, and was recently featured with Indya Moore (Angel) in Saturday Church at the Tribeca Film Festival. Dominique Jackson (Elektra) is a fashion model and icon in the current New York ball scene, who also appeared in Oxygen's Strut. Hailie Sahar (Lulu) has been seen on Mr. Robot. And Angelica Ross (Candy) was the star of the Emmy-nominated web series Her Story and recently appeared on several episodes of Claws.

This cast represents an historic moment in authentic


trans representation in Hollywood. But transgender people aren't only in front of the camera. Pose also includes talented trans people behind the scenes helping to craft the stories these talented actors are portraying. Co-executive producer Silas Howard is a transgender man and an accomplished writer, director, and producer. Our Lady J, a trans woman and a writer on Amazon's Transparent, is also a producer and in the writer's room, alongside New York Times bestselling author and trans advocate Janet Mock. Leiomy Maldando, a trans woman and a legend in the New York ballroom scene, is the choreographer for the show along with Danielle Polanco.

When the casting news broke, GLAAD President and CEO, Sarah Kate Ellis said:

"Hollywood has a long history of misrepresenting LGBTQ people of color, especially transgenderwomen, and Pose is primed to change that by showing audiences and the industry that trans stories are powerful, relatable, and entertaining. With Ryan Murphy's smart decision to cast talented trans actors like Angelica Ross in front of the camera, and gifted trans storytellers like Silas Howard and Janet Mock behind the camera and in the writer's room, the show is poised to bring trans inclusion and understanding to the next level."

GLAAD's recent Where We Are on TV report counted 17 transgender characters across broadcast, cable, and streaming platforms during the reporting period. However, two shows with transgender characters have since been cancelled leaving only 15 current transgender characters on TV.

Pose is set in Manhattan in the 1980s, and delves into a variety of cultures including the famous


New York ball scene. These talented trans people will be joined on screen by Billy Porter, Evan Peters, Tatiana Maslany, James Van Der Beek, Kate Mara, and many stars who GLAAD has worked with in the past.

Pose show creator Ryan Murphy received his first GLAAD Media Award at the 11th Annual GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles in 2000 for his show Popular. Murphy also was honored in 2010 for Glee, in 2013 for The New Normal and American Horror Story: Asylum, and in 2015 for bringing a beautiful version of The Normal Heart to HBO.

"Pose" star Angelica Ross called for more trans visibility earlier this year when receiving a GLAAD Media Award with Trevor Noah for her appearance on The Daily Show.Poet Cathy Park Hong tackles the complexities of the Asian American experience in her incisive essay collection, "Minor Feelings: An Asian American Reckoning," published last month by One World. "Most Americans know nothing about Asian Americans," she writes. "They think Chinese is synecdoche for Asians the way Kleenex is for tissues. They don't understand that we're this tenuous alliance of many nationalities."

Hong fuses memoir, cultural criticism and history to investigate topics from self-hatred and depression to shame and capitalism. She also explores Asian Americans' "vague purgatorial status," distrusted by African Americans and ignored by whites "unless we're being used by whites to keep the black man down," and the "model minority myth," which she says masks real discrimination suffered by Asian Americans.

"There are a lot of fantastic Asian


American writers who've come out and are coming out in 2020, and what a sad irony that they're now publishing these books when anti-Asian racism has spiked," Hong told NBC Asian America. "I hope that the stories and the poetry and artwork that's coming out can act as a counterweight to the hate."

Hong, poetry editor of The New Republic and a professor at Rutgers-Newark University, is the author of the acclaimed poetry collections "Engine Empire," "Dance Dance Revolution" and "Translating Mo'um." Her poems have been featured in Poetry, A Public Space, The Paris Review and McSweeney's, among other publications.

We chatted with Hong about her book of creative nonfiction, the invisibility and current hypervisibility of Asian Americans and the rise in racism during the pandemic.

NBCAsian America: You argue that Asian Americans are often invisible in society, but in the last few weeks we've become hypervisible and the victims of racist bullying and physical attacks. Does this moment remind you of past scapegoating in the U.S.?

Cathy Park Hong: Right now, Asians are seen as diseases, which reminds me of the late 1800s, when Chinese immigrants were seen as vermin. It's like the return of the yellow peril. We're seen as foreigners and enemies. Then there's the Japanese internment camps where Japanese Americans were scapegoated, as they were in the 1980s, too. South Asians were considered part of the "model minority," and then after 9/11, Asians who


were visibly Muslim or South Asians who were brown became targets. This happens all the time. Assimilation doesn't save us.

NBC Asian America: Trump and other Republicans have used the term "Chinese virus" to describe the coronavirus pandemic. How did you feel seeing the photo of his remarks where he'd crossed out the word "corona" and replaced it with "Chinese"?

Hong: I was enraged. However, I wasn't surprised. It's a strategic move. Instead of facing up to his own errors, he blames it on immigrants. When he realized that the coronavirus was going to be a catastrophe, he was, like, "Let's just place it on the Chinese and anyone who looks Chinese." He's made the anti-Asian racism official and is enabling it, but it was widespread before he called it"Chinese virus."

NBC Asian America: After widespread criticism, Trump recently wrote on Twitter: "It is very important that we totally protect our Asian American community in the United States, and all around the world. They are amazing people, and the spreading of the Virus is NOT their fault in any way, shape, or form. They are working closely with us to get rid of it." What did you think about his use of the words "they" and "us"?

Hong: We're not "us." We're not part of the U.S. We're still foreigners. That's just typical of Trump. It's typical of America. Asians are never part of the U.S. and never American.

NBC Asian America: The term "Asian American" has a radical history that's unknown to most Americans. Do you think there's a


future Asian American identity that can encompass the vastly different experiences of Asians in the U.S.?

Hong: I don't know. In the late 1960s, what mobilized a lot of Asian Americans was the rampant racism and xenophobia, but it was also the Vietnam War. Perhaps now that anti-Asian racism is out in the open, this will be a reckoning for Asian Americans to unify. There are Asians in the younger generation who are much more progressive and radicalized by climate change and Bernie and Black Lives Matter, but there are also Asian Americans for whom race was not a part of their lives. They prefer to live in their bubble, still in the Sunken Place, and I think this was a wake-up call for them. I hope there's moreinto the barge instead of balancing neatly.

restaurant a second time and went to the trunk of the BPD vehicle he was driving where he retrieved a BB gun.

GLADSTONE went back into the restaurant and told Officer 1 that they had to leave immediately. GLADSTONE then drove at a high rate of speed to the site of the D.S.'s arrest on Anntana Avenue and Belair Road in Northeast Baltimore City.

Once there GLADSTONE exited his vehicle and carried a BB gun to the front yard of the house where D.S. had been run over. GLADSTONE dropped the BB gun near a pickup truck where D.S. lay injured on the ground unable to use his legs.

GLADSTONE then walked over to W.J. and Officer 3. GLADSTONE told W.J. in Officer 3's presence "it's over by the truck," orwords to that effect and GLADSTONE told W.J. to have someone search by the truck. GLADSTONE then left the scene and drove away with Officer 1.

W.J. told Officer 4 that a gun was in the grass and told Officer 4 to move it under the pickup closer to the victim. Officer 4 retrieved the BB gun from the grass and placed the BB gun near the front driver side wheel underneath the pickup truck.

The BB gun was then seen by another BPD officer and ultimately recovered by the BPD's crime lab unit. D.S. was taken from the scene to the hospital in custody where drugs were recovered from him.

He was then taken from the hospital to BPD's Central Booking where he was charged. Those charges included possession, use

Gladstone joined the force in 1992 and was promoted to sergeant in 2011. He retired the following year, but was reinstated in 2013. He led a special enforcement section unit assigned to the Western District until he retired a second time in 2017.

The indictment also alleges that after W.J. and six other officers were arrested on federal racketeering charges, Gladstone told the officer he had been dining with that night that, if questioned about the night's events, he should tell investigators that they were there for "scene security."

Last June, Gladstone was named in a $40 million lawsuit that alleged he supplied the drugs that were planted in a different arrest. That suit also named Jenkins, Officer Ryan Guinn and the"five black male teenagers walking together, one of which matched the description of the suspects from the felonious assault."

Kroger was patting down the 14-year-old — who didn't fit the description of the shooting suspect, but was the first one detained — "for possible weapons" when the boy started running. He later told police he ran because he had marijuana in his pocket. Kroger took off after him, and said he didn't give a verbal warning before using a Taser because he thought the teen might have a weapon and he didn't want to give the boy "time to react."

The 14-year-old "fell hard on the pavement" after being hit with the Taser, breaking his collar bone, according to the lawsuit.

Kroger used his Taser on the boy a second time,


while the teen already "was on the ground and writhing in pain," and "without reasonable provocation or threat of harm." Kroger never told the teen to stop, the suit states. The cop also threatened to use it two more times while he was handcuffed, according to the lawsuit.

Cincinnati police policy says officers should give warning before using their Tasers whenever possible. The policy also states that fleeing alone is not enough justification to use a Taser.

Before the incident, the boy played football, basketball and baseball, but has since stopped playing sports because of residual pain and a hit to his confidence caused by the injury, according to the lawsuit. It also states that he suffers from PTSD and anxiety associated with adult authority figures.

Lee's attorney said the thenTwo Los Angeles County Sherriff's deputies, Conley and Pederson, unlawfully entered the structure. In doing so, they roused the sleeping Mr. Mendez. In rising from the futon on which he had slept, Mr. Mendez picked up a BB gun that was on the futon to place it on the floor. In the process, the gun was pointed in the general direction of Conley and Pederson. The deputies, believing that the BB gun threatened them, quickly opened fire.

Before the shooting, deputies of the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department were searching for a parolee-at-large, Ronnie O'Dell. A confidential informant had seen someone resembling O'Dell riding a bicycle in front of Paula Hughes' home. After a briefing during which officers were told that a couple resided in a shack behind Hughes' home,


officers were dispatched to the scene and entered Hughes' house. Officers Conley and Pederson, who were among the officers informed about the couple living in the backyard of the Hughes property, were charged with searching the area to the rear of the house. Conley and Pederson, guns drawn and on alert because they believed O'Dell to be armed and dangerous, approached the structure in which the Mendezes resided. There were many apparent signs that the structure was a residence, including: an electrical cord was running to it; an air conditioner was installed; and some storage lockers were nearby. Conley and Pederson nevertheless entered the structure without announcing their presence, and a split second later, misperceiving the threat posed by the BB gun, shot the Mendezes, which caused theircommunity that has been economically disenfranchised.

According to a report from the Brookings Institute, American cities in which blacks constitute a majority of the population—what they call “black-majority cities”—are on the rise. They include the core cities of metropolitan areas like Detroit, Baltimore, and Memphis as well as smaller suburban municipalities like East Cleveland, Ohio,Wilkinsburg, Pa., and Ferguson, Mo. Black-majority cities (which include cities, towns, and other census-designated places) numbered 460 at the 1970 census, and 1,148 by the 2010 census. And, as of the latest census estimates (2017), there are now 1,262 black-majority cities, an increase of more than 100 such cities during this decade alone.

Black-majority cities are rising amid a national conversation surrounding


was looking to vindicate the officer who fired the fatal shots into the 12-year-old boy. The Cleveland Police Patrolmen’s Association (CPPA) on Friday filed an appeal to overturn the termination of former officer Timothy Loehmann, arguing that he was fired for something not related to the shooting.

In 2017, Loehmann was fired when it came to light that he had resigned from a previous department after six months when several supervisors determined he was unfit to be a police officer. That information was not disclosed on his application with the Cleveland Police Department, which an arbitrator determined was a lie and upheld the city’s decision to fire the disgraced officer in December.

Loehmann had only been with Cleveland for eight months when he shot Rice, who was playing in apark with an Airsoft pellet gun, in November 2014. A racist suspect resident called 9-1-1 and gave the dispatch the misleading impression that an adult Black man, possible a military veteran, was at a park filled with people, threatening them with a gun. Loehmann and his partner Officer Frank Garmback responded to the dispatch’s subsequent call. Video of the incident caused widespread outrage not just because of Rice’s age, but also because he was shot within 4 seconds of police arriving on the scene. The police cruiser was still moving when Loehmann shot Rice on the spot. It is myth repeated by white media that he was holding a toy gun. Tamir died with the toy gun still in his waistband and no other people were present in

Instead, the committee heard from Sean Jordan, who is up for a seat on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, and Texas Second Court of Appeals Justice Mark Pittman, who is nominated to a position on the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas.

Like most nominees to federal district courts, Jordan and Pittman faced few contentious questions from senators.

Running in the background of the hearing was the nomination of Kenneth Lee, a California attorney who is up for a spot on the Ninth Circuit.

Trump initially tapped Lee to the Ninth Circuit in November, but the Senate did not take action on his nomination before the end of the Congress. Trump announced at the end of January that he would be renominating Lee to the same position.

Most of the articles Lee wrote that Harris and Feinstein mentioned in the statement are from his time as an undergrad at Cornell University, though one comes from 1999, when Lee was attending Harvard Law School. The senators said Lee turned over the articles only after Democrats requested them.

It is pertinent to recall the situation in the years prior to the election of Hugo Chávez, when the International Monetary Fund (IMF) imposed on Venezuela the “Washington consensus” of restructuring programmes, austerity and privatization (see A/72/1787), which led to mass public demonstrations and a military crackdown, the Caracazo of 1989, leaving some 3,000 dead. Corruption was ubiquitous and in 1993, President Carlos Pérez was removed because of embezzlement.

Epidemic of violence

The number of individuals killed by the acts of another in San Joaquin County during 2012 may not have set a record, but the soaring carnage in Stockton certainly did.

With a rate of one slaying per 4,174 residents, Stockton's 2012 homicide rate is topped only by Detroit and Oakland among large cities in the United States, according to information provided by the Stockton Police Department. It's even worse than storied Chicago, which is dealing with one murder per 5,414 residents in 2012.

The seemingly uncontrolled violence in Stockton helped topple the incumbent mayor and set the agenda for a new City Council. At his inauguration last week, Mayor Anthony Silva made his intentions clear when he spoke directly to criminals: "This is your final warning - youbetter move out of Stockton now, because we are coming after you."

Here are the cold, hard facts: 88 homicides in the county in 2012, down two from the previous year, the deadliest on record.

Homicides investigated by the Stockton Police Department, however, were another story. Following 2011's record-setting 58, the number killed last year reached that pinnacle in October. By the end of the year, 71 people were killed within the city limits.

Another six were slain just outside the lines. Those cases are the jurisdiction of the Sheriff's Office.

Tracy police investigated and closed four homicides in 2012, the same number as two years earlier. In 2011, no murders were reported in Tracy. Lodi police investigated and closed two homicides, the same as they handled in 2011. Manteca police experienced


none during 2012 following a difficult year in 2011, when they investigated five.

In addition to the six homicides in the Stockton area that county sheriff's detectives dealt with, they investigated three in the Lathrop area, one in rural Manteca and one near Thornton. The San Joaquin County Jail, operated by the sheriff, is currently housing 59 inmates facing murder charges.

The average age of all 88 victims was 31, ranging from 2 to 88. Seventy-five of the killings, or 85 percent, were caused by guns. Seven victims were cut or stabbed to death. One, truck driver Alexander Dominic Bell, was killed falling from the outside of a truck cab whose fleeing occupant he suspected of stealing gas.

By the close of 2012, Stockton police had made arrests in 24 casesanytime, in any neighborhood, according to department spokesman Joe Silva.

"The Community Response Team goes out in high-crime neighborhoods for high visibility and strict enforcement against gang members and known gang associates," Silva said.

The city is spread out over roughly 65 square miles, and almost no area is immune from the violence. In both the areas south of the Crosstown Freeway and north of Harding Way, each experienced 30 homicides. Eleven homicides occurred in the central Stockton swath between the Crosstown and Harding Way.

There were no homicides west of Interstate 5 north of the Calaveras River, nor were there any east of I-5 to Pacific Avenue between Swain Road and Hammer Lane.

The department, Silva noted, is well aware of the new brazenness some criminals are exhibiting based on the

Scenes From The Animal Collective and Micachu & The Shapes Show at the House of Blues.

Animal Collective brought out a decent-sized crowd to the House of Blues last night. Oh, and to be clear: By decent, I mean that sucker was packed. It was kind of nuts, actually.

Even before Animal Collective hit the stage, you just knew it was going to be a good night. For starters, everyone was already dancing. Micachu & the Shapes made sure of that much, sending out their spunky sounds to an adoring crowd that cheered out their appreciation for the band's every move.

Still, the crowd was ready for the main course. And, appropriately enough, the stage was set up for it: The whole thing was dressed up to look like amouth, with giant teeth framing the stage. And, with their first song, Animal Collective immediately met the standards of any fan in the place. In all actuality, though, it would've been tough for them to disappoint. The crowd was just so excited to be there. By the second song, the whole room looked and felt like a giant dance pit.

In their defense, Animal Colletive's performance was deserving of all this adoration. Their lights, sound and on-stage energy all synced up in perfect combination. It was fun, lively and a little quirky.

The political turmoil in Venezuela has led to baseball authorities deciding to move an international tournament away from the South American nation.

The Caribbean Professional Baseball Leagues Confederation announced Sunday that it decided the upcoming Caribbean Series will be held elsewhere, though it did not say where.

Major League Baseball had already strongly recommended that players and staff not travel to Venezuela for the tournament.

Venezuelan Sports Minister Pedro Infante made a plea Saturday for the series to take place as planned in Barquisimeto, saying the government could guarantee security.

Venezuela has been rocked by a new wave of unrest as a re-invigorated opposition seeks to install a transitional government andthat Maduro’s re-election last May was invalid because his strongest opponents were barred from running.

Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido says he is going to put a spotlight on authorities responsible for killing anybody demonstrating against socialist President Nicolas Maduro.

Guaido said Sunday on Twitter that he wants to bring international attention to members of the armed forces, prosecutors and judges linked to recent deaths, which he calls a “massacre.”

The young head of the opposition-controlled congress declared himself Venezuela’s interim president last week as part of a campaign to remove Maduro. His declaration during a day of widespread anti-government demonstrations has been followed by violent clashes between protesters and security forces that

Opposition supporters staged visits to military bases across Venezuela earlier in the day, handing soldiers copies of an amnesty law passed by the National Assembly. Some military commanders ripped the handouts apart, but no violence was reported.

Meanwhile Maduro toured two military bases west of Caracas, where he played war-games with soldiers and urged them to stay loyal to his government.

Maryland's been trailing the borderline four-star Likely for quite some time now, and he visited College Park back in November. He's claimed some big-time offers, including LSU and Florida State, but there's some doubt as to the committability of those; as such, the Terps' primary competition has long been considered to be Wake Forest and Louisville.

Expect the announcement tomorrow, and keep your fingers crossed that it comes up Terrapins.

Rueda was in charge of Colombia (2004-06) and Honduras (2007-10), including helping the latter qualify for the World Cup in South Africa.

Devils 4, Panthers 3 (SO)

CBS SportsLine.com wire reports

March 24, 2007

SUNRISE, Fla. -- Travis Zajac's goal was clutch in more ways than one for the New Jersey Devils. Jim Dowd's timing wasn't so bad, either.

Zajac scored the winning goal in a shootout, and Dowd notched a pair of goals in regulation, as the Devils broke a season-high, three-game losing streak with a 4-3 victory over the Florida Panthers on Saturday.

The victory also kept New Jersey from slipping into a tie for first place in the Atlantic Division with Pittsburgh.

"No comments (were made about Pittsburgh). Not from the coaching staff," Devils coach Claude Julien said. "I think everybody probably knew but nobody talked about it. We didn't (talk about Pittsburgh) on purpose.

"Our focus wasn't, 'Well, we've got


to win the hockey game because ... 'We've just got to win because we want to win the hockey game no matter what the situation is."

Florida's Ville Peltonen and New Jersey's Zach Parise each scored in the first round of the shootout, but Nathan Horton failed on the Panthers' chance in the second round. Florida captain Olli Jokinen then fired wide on his club's final attempt.

Dowd broke out of a 4 1/2-month scoring drought with a pair of goals. Both of Dowd's goals came with Florida up by one.

"It's great," Dowd said. "It felt real good, obviously. It's been awhile and it felt great. I think it might have been my first (two-goal game) to tell you the truth. It's a great feeling and then to win thegame, I mean it's great, you know?"

Florida broke a 2-2 tie on a goal by Peltonen just 2:31 into the third period, but Dowd tied it when he beat Ed Belfour.

New Jersey's Martin Brodeur matched his career high with 43 wins, a total he reached three previous times.

The slumping Devils were 3-5-2 in their previous 10 games and needed to win to stay ahead of the Penguins, who beat Atlanta in Pittsburgh earlier Saturday.

Peltonen gave Florida a short-lived lead when he rebounded the puck into the empty left corner of the net after Brodeur made a pad save on Chris Gratton.

The Panthers also failed to hold a 2-0 advantage.

"In the second period, we were controlling the play, but a couple of mistakes and the puck's in our net,"


Panthers coach Jacques Martin said. "And then we came back and got the third goal to take the lead, and it's not like they were putting pressure on us, we just got caught on a change and they capitalized."

David Clarkson cut New Jersey's deficit to a goal with 6:54 left in the second when he swatted the puck past a sprawled Belfour after Juraj Kolnik was sent off for hooking. It was Clarkson's second goal in five games since being recalled from the minors.

"We all kept saying the same thing," Julien said. "Let's get the next one, the next goal and we're right back in it. That's what we needed to have, a positive atmosphere around the dressing room and the bench."

Dowd tied it 3:48 later on arebound, beating Belfour on his glove-side. It was his first goal in 55 games. Brodeur then received the secondary assist on Dowd's third of the season.

"I'm happy I assisted on one of his goals, also, and it was a nice one. I stopped it clean behind the net," Brodeur said with a laugh. "Jimmy's been great for the hockey club and for team chemistry, being positive. So for him to chip in a little bit it's great.

"You can tell when guys appreciate a guy when he scores and everybody laughs and everybody has a big smile."

Florida went up 1-0 on Jokinen's 36th goal at 12:18 of the first. Jokinen sent the puck over Brodeur's left shoulder from just above the left circle. He has nine points (five goals,

Value Chain vs. Supply Chain: An Overview

The term value chain refers to the process in which businesses receive raw materials, add value to them through production, manufacturing, and other processes to create a finished product, and then sell the finished product to consumers. A supply chain represents the steps it takes to get the product or service to the customer.

While a supply chain involves all parties in fulfilling a customer request and leading to customer satisfaction, a value chain is a set of interrelated activities a company uses to create a competitive advantage.

The idea of a value chain was pioneered by American academic Michael Porter in his 1985 book "Competitive Advantage: Creating and Sustaining Superior Performance." He used the idea

Pertamina hopes that the proposal would serve as a base for direct negotiations by the two companies on the management of the two oil and gas fields. Technical evaluation by Pertamina showed that two oil fields, which are located in Bangestan, southern Iran, has an estimated reserve of more than 1.5 billion barrels of oil each with potential production of more than 200,000 barrels each per day.

A recent United Nations Commission on Human Rights in South Sudan report has found that serious human rights and international humanitarian law violations have been committed in the country. The violations include targeting civilian populations and individual civilians on the basis of their ethnic identity and perceived political affiliations by means of killings, abductions, rape and sexual violence, as well as the destruction of villages. The ongoing humanitarian crisis has resulted in massive displacement of the civilian population of South Sudan.

HUD’s statistics show that since that launch, chronic homelessness has dropped 21 percent, homelessness among families has declined 15 percent, and homelessness among veterans has fallen by 33 percent. In 2016, the new National Housing Trust Fund is expected to begin distributing funds to increase and preserve affordable housing for very low-incomepromoting them.

The Law Center and its partners put forth a series of recommendations on how best to implement the right to housing in the U.S in their alternative stakeholder report to the Council. The Law Center looks forward to continuing to use the Review process to push forward the dialogue on the human right to housing with the government, but we believe as part of an honest human rights assessment, the government must first acknowledge the depth of the ongoing housing crisis, both in our representations to the international community as well as to its constituents here at home.

This past year was an incredible one for the Law Center thanks to our many advocates and supporters. We saw many accomplishments and raised an unprecedented amount of awareness on


the issue of homelessness. See a synopsis of our 2014 successes here and in a letter from our Executive Director and Founder, Maria Foscarinis.

It gives us great hope that one day these successes will translate into our ultimate goal, to end and prevent homelessness in America.

For an overview of homelessness in America, please see our newest fact sheet which provides statistics and information related to the demographics of people experiencing homelessness, as well as the causes of homelessness, available here.

The petition argues that the Supreme Court should decide the important voting rights question posed by this case – whether voter ID laws are constitutional when they burden the voting rights of hundreds of thousands of state residents and do not advance a legitimate state interest. With respect tothe Law Center and our co-counsel at the ACLU, the ACLU of Wisconsin, and Dechert LLP. The Supreme Court petition was jointly filed with the League of United Latin American Citizens, represented by Arnold & Porter and the Advancement Project. The suit seeks to protect the voting rights of all Wisconsin voters, including approximately 300,000 registered voters who lack the necessary ID to vote under the voter ID law; a significant number are low income or homeless individuals.

After more than a decade of work by the Law Center and other advocates seeking to generate more federal funding for affordable housing development, the National Housing Trust Fund (NHTF) became law in 2008. The funding source for the NHTF was to be a percentage of the profits from Fannie Mae


policies. But often times it actually makes me much more accepting and I am impressed by some of the progressive changes the U.S. is going through.

This dual set of viewpoints was emphasized when I attended the 2014 U.S. government human rights consultation sessions with civil society at the Department of State as part of my internship at the National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty. These consultations were held due to the forthcoming reviews by the U.N. Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and Human Rights Council. Sitting in the auditorium for the first couple of hours, I began envying Americans for their federal government. It left a good impression on me when representatives from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) attended theto others, they fail to observe equal protection. These laws, then, unconstitutionally violate the protections of the Fourteenth Amendment.

In New York, homeless people who were or appeared to be homeless were routinely ejected from Penn Station, while other members of the public had open access to the facility. In the case Streetwatch v. National Railroad Passenger Corporation, a federal court in New York found that police arrests and ejections of individuals from the station denied due process, because the public was given an open invitation to the station, and because the police had too much discretion in enforcing rules.

A local ordinance in St. Petersburg, Florida allowed city officials to issue temporary trespass warnings and exclude individuals from certain public spaces. Homeless people were given trespass warnings and required

The Big Ten is home to some of college football's top signal-callers for 2018. Penn State's Trace McSorley has been instrumental in the program's improvement over the last two years and is one of the frontrunners to win the Heisman Trophy this fall. Michigan State's Brian Lewerke is back after a breakout 2017 season, with Michigan's Shea Patterson checking in at No. 3 after being granted immediate eligibility following a transfer from Ole Miss. Iowa's Nate Stanley, Ohio State's Dwayne Haskins and Wisconsin's Alex Hornibrook round out the next tier.

To help compile the rankings, there was some projection involved for 2018. This was not a ranking of quarterbacks only based on accomplishments so far or pro potential. All factors - pure talent, supporting cast, having a clear holdon the No. 1 position, previous production, 2018 projection and scheme changes (just to name a few) - were considered and projected to rank the quarterbacks in the Big Ten for 2018.

Ranking the Big Ten's Quarterbacks for 2018

14. AJ Bush, Illinois

After finishing last in the Big Ten by averaging 13.1 points in league games last fall, Illinois coach Lovie Smith decided a change was needed on offense. Former Arizona co-offensive coordinator Rod Smith was hired to call plays and develop the quarterback position. Cam Thomas was considered the frontrunner exiting spring practice, but three true freshmen and graduate transfer AJ Bush are in the mix and pushing for the starting job this fall. Bush started his career at Nebraska (2014-15) and spent the 2016 season at Iowa Western.


The Georgia native spent 2017 at Virginia Tech and played in five games under coach Justin Fuente. The development of freshman Matt Robinson is a storyline to watch this season.

13. Artur Sitkowski, Rutgers

Chris Ash has the Scarlet Knights on track after this program doubled its win total from 2016 to ’17. Improvement on offense is essential in order to contend for a bowl in 2018, and new play-caller John McNulty has to generate more production out of a passing attack that managed only seven scores last fall. Sitkowski – a three-star freshman – enrolled in time to compete this spring and made a strong impression in the Scarlet-White game by throwing for 280 yards and three scores. However, this battle is far from settled, as Giovanni Rescigno andDawkins, Indiana

Dawkins arrives in Bloomington after spending the last four seasons at Arizona. With Khalil Tate entrenched as the starter, the California native decided to depart Tucson for a chance to start elsewhere. Dawkins isn’t guaranteed the starting job, however. Peyton Ramsey is in mix after throwing for 1,252 yards and 10 touchdowns last season. Ramsey showed potential in his first opportunity for snaps but averaged only 6.1 yards per attempt. As evidenced by his 2016 rushing totals at Arizona (944 yards), Dawkins can be a difference maker on the ground. However, just like Ramsey, Dawkins has room to improve as a passer (53.6 completion percentage in 2016). This battle is likely to go down to the wire in fall practice and could extend into the season.

10. Kasim


with the switch to an up-tempo, spread offense, 2018 is likely to be a transition year for this unit. The Cornhuskers have a couple of candidates vying for the starting job, with Martinez or redshirt freshman Tristan Gebbia neck-and-neck entering the fall. Martinez did not play as a high school senior due to injury but accumulated 2,562 passing yards and 25 touchdowns and added 1,462 rushing yards and 14 scores as a junior in 2016. He ranked as a four-star prospect in the 2018 signing class and enrolled in time to compete in spring practice. Martinez is a great fit for Frost’s high-powered offense and showcased his talent with an impressive performance in the spring game.

8. Elijah Sindelar, Purdue

The battlebetween Sindelar and David Blough is likely to extend deep into fall practice, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see both signal-callers play significant snaps during the 2018 season. This duo combined for 3,202 yards and 27 touchdowns to just 11 interceptions last fall. Both players are recovering from significant leg injuries, as Sindelar played the end of the 2017 season on a torn ACL, while Blough missed the final four contests. Regardless of which quarterback starts for coach Jeff Brohm, Purdue is in good shape under center.

7. Clayton Thorson, Northwestern

Thorson is the toughest quarterback to rank in the Big Ten this fall. The senior suffered a significant knee injury in the Music City Bowl win over Kentucky and did not participate in spring ball. Will Thorson


to win the Big Ten’s West Division again. However, the Badgers won’t be a one-dimensional offense in 2018. Hornibrook seems poised to elevate his performance a step higher after throwing for 2,644 yards and 25 scores last fall. The Pennsylvania native has to play better against some of the top teams in the Big Ten and must eliminate the turnovers (15 INTs). However, with a standout receiving corps in place, Hornibrook should take a step forward in his development.

4. Dwayne Haskins, Ohio State

The Buckeyes finished spring practice with an ongoing battle between Joe Burrow and Haskins for the starting job. However, Burrow decided to transfer to LSU in May, providing a clear path for Haskins for the top spot. The Maryland native showcased his potential in limited actionas J.T. Barrett’s backup last season, which included 94 passing yards and 24 on the ground against Michigan. Haskins finished 2017 by completing 40 of 57 passes for 565 yards and four scores. He’s not as dynamic of a runner as Barrett was, but Haskins is a better passer and has enough mobility to make plays on the ground.

3. Shea Patterson, Michigan

Michigan’s 2018 Big Ten title hopes received a boost when Patterson was granted immediate eligibility. The Louisiana native ranked as a five-star recruit in the 2016 signing class and was pressed into action after Chad Kelly suffered a season-ending injury that year. Patterson started the final three games for the Rebels and threw for 880 yards and six scores, while adding


169 yards on 41 carries. High expectations surrounded Patterson in his first year as a full-time starter, but he was limited to seven games due to injury last fall. Despite the injury-shortened season, Patterson threw for 2,259 yards and 17 touchdowns and completed 63.8 percent of his passes. The junior has to do a better job of limiting the mistakes after tossing nine picks on 260 attempts in 2017. Patterson should be an impact addition and will provide a spark for an offense that averaged only 25.2 points a game last season.

2. Brian Lewerke, Michigan State

Lewerke’s emergence was a big reason why Michigan State improved its win total by seven games from 2016 to ’17. After playing in four games (and two starts) in 2016, Lewerke threw forPNC Bank, the 9th largest bank in the United States by assets, has joined Ripple’s enterprise blockchain network RippleNet.

She had been unable to find information about her ancestors Flossie Sula (mother) and Louise (daughter) Cothern. Cowfordlady knew that Flossie Sula had married David William Cothern, and Louise was their only child. He died in 1930.

Cowfordlady knew only a few details about her ancestors’ lives after David died. As she tells it:

Flossie was a widow and about age 33 when she and Louise left West Green (Coffee County), Georgia, in/about 1931; Louise was about age 9 then.

After that, her ancestors’ trail turned cold, and they were not listed in the 1940 Census.

Not able to find any information about her ancestors in government records, Cowfordlady turned to GenealogyBank’s newspapers. She tried several searches usingvariations of her ancestors’ surname—and one such variation (“Cothren”) turned up an article that was the key to unlocking this genealogy puzzle.

It was a front-page story from a 1946 Louisiana newspaper that began to unravel the mystery. The discovery was a chilling one.

Times-Picayune (New Orleans, Louisiana), 19 November 1946, page 1

The key was this paragraph, revealing that the unfortunate “Mrs. Henderson” involved in this tragic murder story was in reality Cowfordlady’s missing ancestor, Flossie Sula Cothern (spelled “Cothren” in the article).
