Museum of Capitalism

The Museum of Capitalism in Oakland, California, treats capitalism as a historical phenomenon.

This speculative institution views the present and recent past from the implied perspective of a future society in which our economic and political system is memorialized, and subjected to the museological gaze. Sketches and renderings of exhibits and artifacts, combined with relevant quotations from historical sources, are interspersed with speculative essays on the intersections of


appeals had a formulaic quality to them that the mockery of them was so swift, and yet the mockery also became formulaic, as mockery so often is. Both the cautionary and the mocking sentiments crystallized into a singular expression—“too soon.” It was often difficult to tease apart the earnest from the ironic in this expression, and in this sense, it captured what was an utterly contemporary relation to history.

The phrase had its own prehistory in the second half of the twentieth century, as the United States was learning to consume tragedies as mass media spectacles. Popular Tonight Show host Johnny Carson used it as part of a running gag that started with an unpopular joke referring to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. When the audience fell silent, orsection itself deals, as its heading states, with "discriminations" and in text expresses in very plain language a policy in New York to prevent discrimination against New York consumers and to keep prices of liquor as low in New York as the statute can do it for the benefit of consumers in this State.
This general price policy was enacted in 1964 (ch. 531) in response to an investigation under the direction of the Governor which revealed that the New York consumer was paying from 50 cents to $1.50 more for each fifth of whiskey than the price at which it was available in at least seven freer price markets (Moreland Commission Report No. 1, p. 3 [1964]).
This study led the Governor to recommend to the Legislature a change


Potential customers could not know what the price was, what the cost was or the amount of money they would have to spend until they patronized the store. Accordingly, under the circumstances herein, the advertisements did not violate the law or the spirit of the statute". The court made reference to its concurrent decision in Matter of Great Eastern Liq. Corp.
The advertising in Great Eastern Liquor contained the words "at wholesale" and "wholesale". The hearing officer in ruling the charge was "not sustained" found that the advertisements did "not reveal the price or prices that the liquor items listed therein were sold or offered for sale". The Authority reversed the hearing officer's report and sustained the charge, one member voting to dismiss. A suspension and forfeiture penalty werewould the use of newspaper advertisements *535 and throwaways proclaiming "bargains", "20% reductions" and "wholesale prices". That conclusion should not be accepted, particularly when other parts of the functionally whole regulatory scheme clearly provide the basis upon which to reach a reasonable construction which comports with the purposes of the whole.
In keeping with the obviously sophistical interpretation advanced by the State Liquor Authority and accepted by the majority, a New York department store recently advertised in the papers of extensive circulation that the New York State law prohibited advertising the price of liquor, but went on to inform the readers that they could rely on the low, low price. The construction placed on the provisions of the statute by the State Liquor Authority has led to this contemptuous


Kansas lawmakers want to increase the requirements to run for governor in the state after six teenagers and a dog announced their candidacy for November's gubernatorial race.

With a 73-43 vote on Tuesday, the state's House of Representatives passed a bill that would impose certain requirements on candidates running for governor and other key state offices, the Kansas City Star reported.

What are the requirements to run for governor?

“Right now there are more requirements for the people who are sitting in here than there are for our head of state positions,” Republican state Rep. Blake Carpenter, who introduced the bill, said on the House floor.

Believe it or not, Kansas currently has no requirements on who can run for governor. But one of the unspoken rules is that candidates must atTHE CANADIAN PRESS / David Rossiter David Stephan and his wife Collet Stephan arrive at court on Thursday, March 10, 2016 in Lethbridge, Alta.

David Stephan and his wife, Collet, were found guilty in 2016 of failing to provide the necessaries of life to 19-month-old Ezekiel.

OTTAWA — A couple who had been convicted in the meningitis death of their son say they have been vindicated by the Supreme Court of Canada's decision to order a new trial.

Their trial in Lethbridge, Alta., heard evidence that they treated the boy with garlic, onion and horseradish rather than take him to a doctor. The Stephans eventually called 911 but the toddler died in hospital in 2012.

"We're grateful because this is a move in the right direction and we now have the opportunity


comfort in knowing that aside from the medical evidence that is still withheld or destroyed, the whole truth will be established and the tremendous lies surrounding the passing of our son will be exposed.''

Witnesses at the trial said the toddler's body was so stiff he couldn't sit in his car seat, so he had to lie on a mattress when his mother drove him from their rural Alberta home to a naturopathic clinic in Lethbridge, where she bought an echinacea mixture, which is believed to be a natural immune booster.

The trial also heard that Ezekiel's parents believed he had croup, an upper airway infection, and that he seemed to improve at times.

The Stephans never called for medical assistance until Ezekiel stopped breathing. He was taken to a localWASHINGTON — The Pentagon will send an additional 1,100 active-duty troops and 1,000 members of the Texas National Guard to assist in securing the United States border with Mexico, the Defense Department announced on Wednesday, in a move that would significantly expand the American military presence there.

The deployment would increase the number of American forces at the southwestern border by more than 45 percent, with the additional 2,100 troops joining roughly 4,500 personnel currently stationed there. The plan was approved on Tuesday night by Richard V. Spencer, who assumed the role of acting defense secretary on Monday while Mark T. Esper, President Trump’s latest nominee for the position, faced confirmation hearings this week.

In deploying additional troops to the border, the Trump administration continued to signal concerns about the

According to flight tracking radar, the aircraft declared an emergency at 26,202 feet near the isles of Jura and Mull.

Glasgow Prestwick airport confirmed the pilot of the US Military jet was facing 'technical difficulties' and requested a diversion as a precaution.

A spokeman said: 'We can confirm that an aircraft diverted to Glasgow Prestwick Airport today, due to technical issues. The aircraftlanded safely with no further issues.'

The KC-135R is used to refuel other military jets, especially fighters sent to monitor Russian nuclear capable bombers flying towards Nato areas of interest.

The KC-135 can refuel fighter jets and other aircraft mid-air and can carry almost 91-tonnes of fuel in its tanks to top off other aircraft.

The KC-135s are based on the original design of the Boeing 707 passenger aircraft although have been extensively modified since entering service in 1956.

According to the US Air Force, the KC-135 can also be used to transport cargo or evacuate medical patients.

In October, a KC-135R declared an emergency moments after departing RAF Mildenhall because of a problem with its autopilot.


SPOILER ALERT: This post contains spoilers from Supergirl Season 3. Proceed with caution.

Since the first season, the emotional core of Supergirl has always been Alex and Kara’s relationship as sisters. They have been through many ups and downs since Kara saved Alex’s life in the first episode of the series. They’ve had to face aliens, evil Kryptonians, love triangles, corrupt businessmen, long-lost parents, time-traveling superheroes, Worldkillers, and heartbreak.

Their bond was even stronger in Season 2 when Kara and Alex traveled back home after Alex’s breakup with Maggie. The show devoted an entire episode to the early days of the Danvers sister relationship.

And while Season 3 got off to a good start, with the Danvers sisters supporting each other through heartbreak, the connection between the two women was graduallyBut Kara chose Earth. She chose Alex. She chose to be Kara Danvers and Supergirl.

Stronger Together

In Supergirl’s first season, Kara told James that the House of El symbol she wore on her costume had another meaning: the family motto “El Mayarah,” or “Stronger Together”. This has been a major theme throughout the run of the series — characters are stronger together than when they are on their own. This is certainly true of the Danvers sisters, who have overcome ever obstacle when they worked as a team.

Supergirl needs to get back to this theme in Season 4. Instead of having the two sisters off in their own storylines, they need to work together more often. And they need to be doing more than fighting crime together. Some of

NHL rosters continue to trend younger Just one in 10 regular skaters during the 2019-20 season was over the age of 32 – the lowest percentage in league history, Travis Yost writes.

One in 10.

If you needed more evidence that pro hockey was increasingly becoming a young man’s game, consider this fact – just one in 10 regular skaters during the 2019-20 season was over the age of 32, the lowest percentage in league history.

Much has changed in the NHL over the years, but one of the evolutionary staples of the league has concerned player age.

There have been two drivers of the change. First, irrespective of which aging curve model you are looking at (here is one), the consensus is that both forwards and defencemen have their peak performanceMoxie Mercantile

Clean Water Institute supports summer research

Thirteen students are spending their summers as interns with the Lycoming College Clean Water Institute. Several projects are being conducted under the direction of CWI directors Mel Zimmerman, Ph.D., professor of biology, and Peter Petokas, Ph.D., CWI research associate.

The main project for the summer is to continue the Unassessed Waters Project, in partnership with PA Fish and Boat Commission, Zimmerman said. Since 2010, the CWI has completed 230 unassessed waters using backpack electrofishing equipment in the Loyalsock, Lycoming and Pine Creek watersheds. This summer, the institute is working on completing at least 80 streams in the Pine, Lycoming, Antes Fort and White Deer Hole creek watersheds.

Projects include water quality monitoring of the West Branch of the Susquehanna River from Lock Haven to Sunbury,surveys of eastern hellbender populations in north central Pennsylvania streams, monitoring of water quality before and after best management practices are established on farms in the several watersheds, pre- and post-stream restoration studies along creeks in northern Lycoming County, and designing and presenting educational programs and activities about Pennsylvania wildlife topics to campers at Camp Victory, Millville.

The students also will work with Cromaglass and Archaea Solutions Inc. to determine if microbes can degrade wastewater in salt water environments, and study sewer plant discharge sites.

Lycoming College is a four-year, residential liberal arts and sciences school dedicated to the undergraduate education of 1,400 students. Its rigorous academic program, vibrant residential community and supportive faculty foster successful student outcomes. Lycoming offers 36 academic majors and is recognized as a Tier 1

In breaking news this afternoon, the state of Victoria has been plunged into a state of dystopian chaos, after a van carrying a precious payload of KFC Popcorn Chicken rolled on a highway, spilling the cargo over the road.

The incident occurred on the Western Highway, just east of Ballarat, shortly before 2:45pm this afternoon.

Horrifying images from the scene show hundreds of innocent popcorn chicken bags strewn callously across the area, with the invaluable van entrusted with carrying them laying prone on one side.

New York (CNN Business) The first game of the NFL's 100th year wasn't much fun to watch, but that didn't stop people from tuning in.

The game, which ended in a 10-3 road win for the Green Bay Packers over the Chicago Bears, averaged 22 million viewers for NBC. That's an increase of roughly 16% compared to the 19 million viewers who watched the comparable game last year, and is the most-watched NFL Kickoff game since 2016, according to NBC.

The solid numbers are a little surprising — football fans like watching entertaining games, and this wasn't one. There was only one touchdown and the two teams combined for less than 500 yards of total offense.

It likely helped that the Packers and the Bears are among the league's most notablerivalries, that the Packers have a fanbase that spreads far beyond Wisconsin, and the kickoff games last year and in 2017 both had viewership affected by weather.

Still, Thursday's ratings are a great start to an important year for the NFL. This is the league's centennial season, and it's going all-in to celebrate, but more significant are two vital deals coming up soon: the collective bargaining agreement with the players, which expires after the 2020 season, and the TV rights deals that the league has with its broadcasting partners.

of this case.  In March of 1983, Brown was convicted of forgery under Indiana law for participating in a scheme to defraud insurance companies.  Using false names, Brown would obtain automobile policies from various insurance companies.  The addresses he provided to these companies in his insurance applications primarily consisted of apartments he rented for six-month periods.

3
Next, Brown would file false reports of break-ins and thefts to the police departments in the several states where he allegedly resided.  After the police officers investigated these reports, Brown then made stolen property claims to the insurance companies regarding the supposed automobile thefts.  While the individual claims in each reported theft involved low dollar amounts, the aggregate sum of money received by Brown was substantial.  Usingvarious aliases, he was able to deposit the reimbursement checks from the insurance companies in a bank clearing account held by a purported business entity with Brown as an authorized signator.  Sandlin's investigation of these activities eventually led to Brown's 1983 Indiana forgery conviction and subsequent three-year sentence.  The defendant was paroled in September of 1984.

4
Approximately one year later, in the fall of 1985, Sandlin commenced another insurance fraud investigation involving Brown in a nearly identical scheme to that which resulted in his earlier incarceration.  On May 21, 1986, Sandlin sought a search warrant for a residence at 4021 North High School Road in Indianapolis, Indiana.  Believing that Brown used this address to further his insurance fraud scheme, Sandlin submitted an eight and one-half


seized in the same manner as in the earlier warrant, specifying "Store receipts, fraudulent store receipts, bank records, typewriters, and letters of correspondence relating to the submission of fraudulent insurance claims."    Relying on this affidavit, Municipal Court Judge A. Toni Cordingley issued a search warrant approximately one hour and fifteen minutes after the end of the first search on May 22.  While searching the 1201 Westminster Row address later that day, Sandlin found a briefcase which contained a handgun and a manila folder that contained five pieces of stolen mail.  Nothing else was seized.

7
Brown was subsequently indicted by a federal grand jury on five counts of mail theft and one count of wrongful possession of a firearm by a prior felon.  On "Searches pursuant to a warrant will rarely require any deep inquiry into reasonableness," Gates, 462 U.S. at 267, 103 S.Ct. at 2347, yet even under an examination into Sandlin's awareness of potential illegality, Brown did not show that Sandlin, a well-trained officer, would know that the search was illegal despite Judge Cordingley's authorization.

15
The second affidavit showed that partial records, including bank records, were found in the earlier search of Brown's High School Road apartment, tending "to be evidence of the crimes of forgery and theft" and "relating to the scheme to defraud insurance companies."    As a result of knowledge he obtained during his investigation, affiant Sandlin considered that other records kept "as a part of the scheme" would also be found at Brown's Westminster

Bull Is Bred For It’s Huge Muscles

Crossbreeding one species with another can take years of attempts and failures. The bull in the video below is an example of crossbreeding. The Belgian Blue is a cattle breed which originated in belgium in the the early 20th century. They are reared for their one incredible feature: muscular hypertrophy, also known as double muscling. This trait is beneficial to cattle breeders. It is highly desirable for the quantity of meat it produces, and inevitably, the price they get in return for the quantity.

Belgian Blue cattle are quite popular in Europe and Australia, and they have recently been introduced to the United States as well.

a more continuous, rather than discrete, change in pitch which provides a sound unique to the trombone as compared to other wind instruments.
Unfortunately, the length of tubing required to fabricate a trombone slide which can produce the desired range in pitch is great and the slide, especially in its fully extended or seventh position, makes the slide trombone somewhat difficult to play where space is at a premium.

The Beginning of the End for Sanders 2020?

Bernie Sanders does not have a good track record when it comes to campaigning to become president of the United States. Either Sanders and his atrocious policies are deeply unpopular, even amongst Democrats, or there are some hidden powers that be which truly do not want Sanders to win his party’s nomination.

Whichever it is, he’s not doing very well. With the second Democrat primary debates coming up next week, it will


the bowl matchup.
Brown called the game "an exciting matchup and a great challenge for both
programs."
"Both teams are very well respected state institutions with a great deal of
pride and tradition," Brown said. He also called Oregon's coach, Mike
Bellotti, "a personal friend," and said "he has done a great job of building"
that program.
Bellotti boats a 48-22 record in six season at Oregon and has taken the Ducks
to bowl games in five of his six years at the helm.
Oregon has lost only eight games in the last three years, going 8-3 in 1998,
9-3 in 1999 and 9-2 in 2000.
Oregon was picked to finish in the middle of the pack in the Pac 10 after
racking up nine wins in 1999 with a senior-laden team.
But Bellotti rebuilt his offense around strong-armed junior QBthe team leaders.
The Ducks' defensive philosophy is to "stop the run and don't get beat deep
on pass plays."
Let's hope they don't make that work in the Holiday Bowl because the Horns
live on beating people deep on pass plays, and they also like to run the
football.
The Ducks beat Rose Bowl representative Washington, 23-16, during the regular
season and were undefeated in the Pac 10 until the final week of the regular
season when they lost to arch-rival Oregon State, 23-13.
Their only other loss was in their second game to then No. 4-ranked
Wisconsin, 27-23.
Their other victories were over Nevada, 36-7; Idaho, 42-13; UCLA, 29-10; USC,
28-17; Arizona, 14-10, Arizona State, 56-55; Washington State, 27-24, and

Coaches Waiting for a Few Top Recruits to Come Aboard

Coach Mack Brown and his assistant coaches already have enough top recruits
tothe defensive line. That makes the bad news pretty
obvious: if Texas doesn't sign both Harris and Jakes, the class will come up
short in the big guys up front in the defensive line.
But even that cloud has a silver lining. This was the year of the offensive
lineman in Texas. Next year will be the year of the defensive lineman. There a
re more good ones than I have seen in several years.
The Longhorns cleaned up on offensive linemen this year and they should be
able to clean up on defensive linemen next year.
I have already seen four junior defensive tackles who are better than anybody
except Harris in this year's senior class.
I spotted one of them, Rodrique Wright of Alief Hastings, the first week of
the season when I went to Houston to


a 51-yard
screen pass to pace the Rebels to a 44-9 victory.
Benson now ranks No. 5 among all the high school running backs in Texas
history in yardage gained with 8,076. He is the only Class 5A rusher in Class
5A in the top 20.
Kenneth Hall, the Class B terror at Sugar Land from 1950 through 1953, holds
the record at 11,232 yards. He was an amazing runner, but he never ran
against the kind of defenses Benson faces every week.
Benson has led Midland Lee to back-to-back state champsionships, but he lost
most of his supporting cast after last season and the Rebels looked
vulnerable this season, losing two early-season games.
But his rebuilt line is getting better every week and Duncanville coach Bob
Alpert, who has been coaching at the 5A level in Texas for manyyears, first
in the Houston area and now in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, has seen and
played against a lot of great running backs, but he says Benson is in a class
by himself.
"He's the best high school running back I've seen, and he's by far the best
one that one of my teams has had to try to stop," Alpert said.
What makes Benson so special?
"It doesn't take a rocket scientist," Alpert said. "He's got great vision,
he's really quick through the hole, he can get something if there isn't much
there, he's hard to bring down and he has great, really great balance. He's
also got really good speed, and he runs as hard on his 30th carry as he does
on his first one."
And, of course, the high school coach to end all


high school coaches, the
legendary Gordon Wood, long retired after winning state titles galore at
Stamford and Brownwood, put his stamp of approval on Benson after his junior
year, saying, "Benson is the best all-around high school running back I've
ever seen."
I've moved Benson to the top spot on my "difference maker" list on the
previous page. With endorsements from guys like Wood and Alpert, he's
obviously an awesome prospect.
By the way, an interesting and fairly obscure note on Wood's career is that
he's the guy who ended the Breckinridge dynasty in Texas.
If you remember Chuck Moser and his mighty Abilene Eagle dynasty and its
multi-year winning streak in the 1950s, there is a connection to Breckinridge
there, too.
The reason Abilene won all those games in a row was that the Eagles quit
playing Breckinridge. That long winningstreak started the week after
Breckinridge thumped Abilene by three touchdowns. I think the score was
34-13, and it was a whipping.
But the team Breckinridge really had the hex on was Brownwood. The Lions had
never beaten Breckinridge and it was a really sore topic of conversation
around Brownwood.
Back in those days, Class 4A was the big school class. Abilene was Class 4A
and Breckinridge was Class 3A. Both teams won state regularly.
But Breckinridge fell down to Class 2A one year, and fell into Stamford's
district. Wood's Stamford team beat the Buckaroos that year en route to
another state title.
Folks in Brownwood noticed that the little 2A school was 1-0 against the team
it had never beaten and they hired Wood, hoping he could do the same thing
for them.
Did he ever. Brownwood started beating Breckinridge every


year and winning
state titles almost every year. The Buckaroos still have some good teams, but
they are in Class 3A now and happy they don't play the Class 4A Lions now,
even with Wood long retired.
Pardon me for drifting back so far, but I grew up in West Texas when it had
the best football played, and teams like Abilene and Breckinridge got
everyone's attention before giving way to Gordon Wood and his powerhouse Br
ownwood teams.

So far, eight members of  Dave Campbell's Texas Football magazine's 24-man
Super Team have committed to colleges, and the Longhorns have six of them.
Benson is the only high school player ever to grace the cover of the state's
top football magazine and he is joined on the Super Team by fellow UT
commitments Frenship QB KendalBriles, San Antonio Holmes CB Cedric Griffin,
and OLs Jonathan Scott of Dallas Carter, Terrance Young of Longview and Abe
Robinson of Jersey Village.
The other Super Team  players who have committed are Madisonville RB David
Underwood, who says he will sign with Michigan, and Lancaster WR Armon
Dorrough, who has given his pledge to Texas Tech.
Briles threw three touchdown passes and ran for a fourth score to lead
Frenship to a 42-6 victory over Fort Worth Wyatt in the Class 4A regional
finals Saturday.
Briles, who led Stephenville to the Class 4A state title last year, is
threatening to do the same thing at Frenship. He needs just two more
victories to accomplish that rare and possibly unprecedented feat.
If UT has a shaky commitment, it would be Briles. He was recruited by Texas

History of Grossmont
Union High School

History of Grossmont
Union High School

In 1902, Ed Fletcher and William Gross purchased the Villa
Caro Ranch, which included the smaller peak on the north side
of Mt. Helix. Fletcher named this mountain Grossmont, in honor
of Gross. In 1910, the two men developed it as a picturesque
artist's colony.

The ivy which was used so extensively
in the landscaping was obtained from Castle Rocks Ranch in El
Cajon. Mr. J. M. Asher, San Diego's first florist and pioneer
nurseryman (1869) and developer of Castle Rocks Ranch in 1879,
had brought the ivy to Castle Rocks. It was taken to the Grossmont
High School campus by the Busch boys who were


among the first
students to attend there and whose parents owned Castle Rocks
Ranch at that time.

In the year 1922-1923, the first classes
of the Grossmont Union High School were held on the new Grossmont
campus. Carl Vance was the principal and . Carl Quicksall,
a teacher. In 1924, Mr. Quicksall became superintendent when
Carl Vance resigned. In 1944, Mr. Quicksall retired and
Lewis Smith became superintendent. Mr. Smith retired in 1964
and John T. Warburton took over as superintendent.

"The new Grossmont Union High School,
situated upon a sightly knoll and commanding a sweeping view
of El Cajon Valley and the picturesque Cuyamaca Mountains, is
constructed of gray granite. With its suggestive towers, turrets,
and battlements, this two story, semi-octagonal building from
the rear, gives the impression of some impenetrable medieval
castle where armed hordes might battle vainly before stern gates.
Yet approachingit from the front, one might easily imagine
that those walls and shining windows were concealing some fairy
princess; and for all that, they may - who knows?

The above description of our school,
written by Hayden Honnell, starts the imaginative powers to
working and one might expect to see a horde of medieval humans
occupying the structure. What one does see, however, are the
boys and girls of the twentieth century busy in the school life
of Grossmont. This building represents the interest and sacrifice
of many people who have done a great deal to further the opportunities
of the students by consolidation and one might go far to find
a person who is not proud indeed of the new "Grossmont."

The history of the school union began
in 1920, when on August 14th of that year the El Cajon


and Riverview
High Schools consolidated with the Allison Spring Valley and
Lemon Grove Grammar School districts. The Riverview High School
was used in 1920 - 1921 in preference to El Cajon High School
because it was larger. The first trustees of the consolidated
schools were A. B. Foster (President). Eveleen K. Bryan,
Izer Davis, R. T. Robinson, Jr., and W. J. Seat. On October
4, 1920, a resolution was offered in a meeting of the trustees
to call a bond election for November 5, 1920, to raise the sum
of one hundred and ten thousand dollars for the new building
to be erected at Grossmont on fourteen acres of land given by
Col. Ed. Fletcher. When the returns of the bond election were
canvassed, it was found that a large majority were in favor
of the bonds.

On June 18, 1921, thecontract for the
new building was let to Young and Beer. The material for the
structure was to be gray granite from the hills on Grossmont,
which Colonel Ed. Fletcher furnished the contractors at the
cost of getting it out. The work was to begin July 1, 1921,
and to be completed in twelve months. J.W. Wiley of La
Mesa was hired as the Board's inspector, and it was in part
due to him that the good looking building we have was secured.

The work was begun at the time specified,
and the building was slowly erected. During the erection, the
ceremony of laying the cornerstone took place on February 6,
1922, in the presence of the teachers and pupils of the high
and grammar schools, and a large number of citizens.

As the building was not completed at
the time for


the fall opening for school, and as it seemed that
the contractors would be unable to complete it, the Board took
over the finishing of the contract and with Mr. Wiley as Superintendent
of Construction the building was finally completed in every
detail by December. Meanwhile, however, school began on September
25, with an attendance of three hundred and twenty, which has
increased up to the latter part of the school year to three
hundred and fifty.

With this brief history in mind of the
facts leading up to the present school whose beauty of structure
can be seen in the opposite picture, the students of Grossmont
take great pride in knowing that their school is a fitting and
lasting monument to the patrons of the district."

Foued Mohamed Aggad, 23, went to Syria at the end of 2013, police sources say

A 23-year-old man from Strasbourg, eastern France, has been identified as the third attacker involved in the terrorist assault at the Bataclan music hall in Paris, police sources have said.

Foued Mohamed Aggad went to Syria with his brother and a group of friends at the end of 2013, according to a source close to the investigation. Most of the others were arrested in spring last year after returning to France but Aggad stayed on in Syria, the source said.

The news was further confirmation that the deadly Paris attacks were carried out largely, if not entirely, by Europeans trained by Isis in Syria.

Ninety peoplethat went to Syria with Aggad were killed. All the others, except Aggad, returned to France in February 2014 after a few weeks in Syria. They were arrested three months later, a judicial source and other sources close to the situation told Reuters.His older brother, Karim, who also visited Syria, is in jail in France, the judicial source said.

The Frenchman believed to have recruited them, Mourad Fares, is also under arrest. All are charged with terror-related offences and face trial.

The latest information means that all of the assailants identified so far were French or Belgian, all native French speakers, and the attacks increasingly appear to have been part of a homegrown terror plot.

John Terry Insists Falcao Proved at Manchester United That He’s Chelsea Quality

John Terry believes Falcao proved at Manchester United last season why he’s good enough to be a star at Chelsea.

The Colombian striker moved to Stamford Bridge this summer after signing a season-long loan deal from Monaco.

That follows a campaign on loan with United which saw him score just four goals in 29 appearances under Louis van Gaal.

Falcao will always be remembered as a flop at Old Trafford, given he was signed for £6million with the possibility of making the move permanent for a whopping £43.5million and handed £265,000 per week in wages.

But none of that put Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho off bringing the former Porto and Atletico Madrid man to Stamford Bridge.

And so is the past. Migration and mingling are essential to human success in the past, the present and into the future

In the future, a lot of people might look like Danielle Shewmake, a 21-year-old college student from Fort Worth, Texas. Shewmake has dark, curly hair, brown eyes, and an olive skin tone that causes many to mistake her heritage as Mediterranean. Her actual pedigree is more complex. Her father is half-Cherokee and half-Caucasian, and her mother, who was born in Jamaica, is the child of an Indian mother and an African and Scottish father.

â€˜My sister and I are just a combination of all that,â€™ she says, adding that she dislikes having to pick a particular racial identity. She prefersreached record highs, as has the number of interracial marriages, leading to a surge of multiracial people such as Shewmake. While genetic differences between human populations do not fall neatly along racial lines, race nevertheless provides insight into the extent of population hybridisation currently underway. This reshuffling of human populations is affecting the very structure of the human gene pool…

James Q Whitman is the Ford Foundation professor of comparative and foreign law at Yale Law School. His subjects are comparative law, criminal law, and legal history. His latest book is Hitlerâ€™s American ModelÂ (2017).

On 5 June 1934, about a year and half after Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of the Reich, the leading lawyers of Nazi Germany gathered at a meeting to plan what would become the Nuremberg Laws,


the centrepiece anti-Jewish legislation of the Nazi race regime. The meeting was an important one, and a stenographer was present to take down a verbatim transcript, to be preserved by the ever-diligent Nazi bureaucracy as a record of a crucial moment in the creation of the new race regime.

That transcript reveals a startling fact: the meeting involved lengthy discussions of the law of the United States of America. At its very opening, the Minister of Justice presented a memorandum on US race law and, as the meeting progressed, the participants turned to the US example repeatedly. They debated whether they should bring Jim Crow segregation to the Third Reich. They engaged in detailed discussion of the statutes from the 30 US states that criminalised racially mixed marriages.

The Bear Stearns bailout and an emergency facility to loan directly to government bond dealers triggered a decline in measures of credit risk for investment banks and for Fannie Mae, the Washington-based, government-chartered company that is the nation's largest source of funds for home mortgages.

CHARLESTON - A lawyer representing the biracial daughter of the late Strom Thurmond says a challenge could be filed to claim part his estate.

When Mr. Thurmond, the longest-serving member of the U.S. Senate, died in 2003 at 100, his will left nothing to Essie Mae Washington Williams, his daughter from a relationship with a black maid who worked at his family's Edgefield home.

Her lawyer, Frank Wheaton, said a challenge could follow if documents emerge that show Mr. Thurmond intended to leave the 79-year-old Los Angeles woman with a portion of his estate.

Mr. Thurmond's three other surviving children are in a will that disposes of an estate valued at $1.48 million.

Mr. Thurmond, who became one of the nation's most visible segregationists, paid for Ms. Washington Williams' collegeeducation and made numerous loans and financial gifts that spanned several decades. But he never publicly acknowledged he was her father.

Third teen is arrested in death at rest stop

FLORENCE - Police have arrested a third teen in a death earlier this month in which a Florida man had a heart attack and died after a robbery attempt at an Interstate 95 rest area in Florence County.

Deputies said they arrested Jahmell Williams, 18, and charged him with murder, attempted armed robbery and other charges. Two other teens were arrested a week ago. Investigators are looking for a fourth suspect, Florence County Sheriff Kenney Boone said.

Deputies say two men tried to rob 70-year-old James Booras, of Ocala, Fla., in the bathroom of the rest area shortly before midnight Jan. 14.

The book Whale Talk has been on a list of titles that were permitted for discussions in sophomore English classes as part of an experimental curriculum. But after some parents from Georgetown County raised concerns about the book, Ms. Tenenbaum read it and decided it was inappropriate for students that age.New posthumous Prince albums to include unreleased music

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Fans of the late singer Prince will get new music from the artist, as two new albums will feature previously unreleased and unheard tracks from the artist’s vault of recordings.

“Prince 4Ever,” available to U.S. audiences on Nov. 22, will feature “Moonbeam Levels,” originally recorded by Prince in 1982, Warner Bros Records and NPG Records said Friday.

The record will include a selection of Prince’s greatest hits such as “Kiss,” “When Doves Cry” and “Purple Rain,” and will come with a booklet featuring never-seen photos of


the artist taken by acclaimed photographer Herb Ritts.

The album is the first posthumous release since Prince’s sudden death in April at age 57 at his Paisley Park, Minnesota estate.

An all-star roster of artists including Stevie Wonder and Chaka Khan came together last week in Minnesota to perform a tribute concert to the late artist.

In early 2017, a new remastered and remixed version of Prince’s 1984 record “Purple Rain,” which was agreed with the artist before his death, will be released, featuring old and new songs. No further details were given yet on this album.

Prince notably blended elements of jazz, funk, R&B, disco and rock in a prolific output of more than 30 albums that have sold over 36 million copies in the United States alone since 1978.

There is no problem of tracing here.  It has been stipulated that all funds held by defendant since her November 23, 1962 appointment as Glasscock's guardian are derived from social security and veterans' payments.  A portion of those funds was received since 1976, while the State of Florida was providing exclusively for Glasscock's care and maintenance, and is still part of the guardian's fund.  This case only involves efforts to reach funds received during the time the state was caring fully for the patient.

Philpott is different from this case, however, since there the welfare recipient was capable, at least in part, of providing for his own care, and the state was not acting in loco parentis, as it is here.  The beneficiary in Philpott was merely receiving assistance in providing for himself.  Glasscock, however, determined to be incompetent by the Veterans' Administration since February 21, 1952, has been in confinement until the present because he is apparently incapable of caring for himself to any degree.

Sixty percent of eligible voters believe President Jacob Zuma was performing his duties well, according to a poll released on Friday.

The poll, conducted by research company Ipsos, asked 3565 people to evaluate the performance of the president, deputy president, national government, municipalities, and the leader of the opposition.

Of those polled, 60 percent indicated Zuma was performing well. This figure remains almost unchanged from the previous Ipsos poll conducted at the end of last year, where

Judge Herman's order is proper pursuant to the Texas Probate Code, section 608.  Because the probate
court lacked the statutory authority to order a district court to transfer the pending divorce and
accompanying parent-child proceeding, we will conditionally grant the writ of mandamus.

BACKGROUND

	Gitta and Richard Milton married in 1991 and had one child.  Richard had been married
twice previously with each marriage ending in divorce.  There was one child born of each previous
marriage.  Each of Richard's former spouses was appointed managing conservator of her child. In April
1995, following a failed suicide attempt, doctors saved Richard's life, however, he has been in a vegetative
state since and resides in an Austin nursing home where he will probably remain for the rest ofhis life.
	Based upon legal advice from her attorney at the time and the belief that a guardianship of
the person and estate would be necessary to negotiate with a corporation to which Richard had conveyed
a patent, Gitta sought and obtained a guardianship of the person, Richard's portion of the community estate
and his separate estate on July 31, 1995, in the Travis County Probate Court Number One.  On
September 12, 1996, the probate court appointed Nancy Scherer as attorney ad litem for Richard because
Richard's mother, Leona Milton, noticed a MLS listing for her son's homestead.  A hearing was held
before the probate court on December 11, 1996, in which it was ascertained that the house had been taken
off the market and the court re-instructed Gitta regarding her guardianship


duties.
	On January 27, 1997, Gitta filed an original petition in the 261st District Court of Travis
County seeking a divorce from Richard, sole managing conservatorship of their child, and a
disproportionate division of the community estate.  The following day, Gitta resigned as Richard's guardian
in Probate Court Number One.
	On January 29, Scherer, who served as the ad litem attorney for Richard, submitted an
order to the probate court seeking to have herself appointed permanent guardian of Richard's one-half of
the community estate and permanent guardian over Richard's separate estate.  Judge Herman signed the
order that day appointing Scherer as guardian of the estate and Leona Milton guardian of Richard's person.
On February 3, Judge Herman signed an ex parte order authorizing Scherer to employ Janice Green of
Farris & Green to"We recommend seeking medical care right away if you or your child develop sudden weakness of the arms and legs".

employed at the University since 1986. Maher Tadros became the interim chair of the
CST department in January 1999 and as such was Cook’s immediate supervisor. The
precipitating event of this litigation related to a meeting of CST students and alumnae
regarding the CST educational program and the department’s reputation in the
academia and the construction industry. An anonymous letter was read at the meeting
which was critical of the department. Many faculty members blamed Cook for
sending the letter. Cook did not participate in the meeting and at trial it was
stipulated that he did not write the letter. However, Cook alleged that Tadros had
conspired with other faculty members in blaming Cook for sending the letter and
calling the meeting. In


July 1999, Cook filed a civil rights lawsuit against Tadros
under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. He asserted that Tadros had conspired with other faculty,
acting under color of state law, and retaliated against him for exercising his First
Amendment rights to free speech and free association in violation of 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983. The retaliatory acts alleged by Cook included: an unsatisfactory evaluation,
reassignment from teaching a course that he had previously taught, limiting his salary
increase, increasing his teaching load, and allegations by Tadros that he was mentally
ill and was a threat to the safety of his co-workers.

Twelve years ago, I paid two men to come to my house in the early hours of the morning and take my eldest son to a therapeutic wilderness program in North Carolina. With my wife standing beside me, I grabbed his shoulder as he slept. "Wake up. These men are here for you. We love you," I said, before I calmly walked away.

It seemed so utterly heartless, but the truly difficult part—making the decision to send him away—was done. The wringing of hands and the endless debating was over. His situation, of course, was hugely different from my mother's, but the agonizing process of


getting from what should we do? to actually doing it was eerily the same.

At 14, my son had remained impervious to all the help we'd given him. Medication didn't help. Therapy had little impact. Love was our best hope, but that, too, failed to stop his relentless opposition and violence. His brothers loved and feared him. During his worst episodes, it wasn't uncommon for him to brandish a large kitchen knife through the house. He was euphemistically diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder, and the police were regular visitors to our home. But the last straw for us—a thankfully nonviolent act—was his refusal to attend school.

Just like my mother, he had no idea what was coming. The evening we sent him away, he was playful and even shoveled theour resentment? And now, with my mother, history was repeating itself, although with a different twist.

My mother, now 85, started showing the first signs of dementia about five years ago. She'd wake up in the morning, go to the local convenience store, and purchase three cardboard containers of soup. When she got home, she'd consume half of one container and put the rest in the refrigerator. A few hours later, forgetting that she'd been to the store, she'd purchase three more, and once again, consume half of one container. Once a month, during mostly quiet but sometimes loud and agitated battles, I'd throw out more than 50 containers of soup against her wishes.

In the winter, she'd wear a red sweater and black pants. In the spring and fall,


she'd wear the same red sweater and black pants. In the summer, when she couldn't bear the heat, she shed the sweater and pants for a nightgown that looked as if it hadn't been washed in years, much the same as the red sweater and black pants. She said she bathed, but she also said she did the laundry.

On a warm day in June, my wife and I showed up at my mother's home and were horrified by the state she was in: clad in gray pajamas covered with dried spills and yellow stains, her hair stringy and unkempt. As always, a half-smoked cigarette hung between her fingers. Aghast, I said, "You look filthy!" To which she replied, nonplussed, "It's fine." Dementia had settled in, taking away thewoman who'd taught me how to tie my shoes, how to swim, to spell, to be respectful and kind to others. The sophisticated woman who'd dressed to the nines for most of her adult life, who'd adorned herself with pearls, was indistinguishable from a person living on the street.

My son was gone for 15 months, attending a therapeutic boarding school after seven weeks in the wilderness. He was 16 when he came home, and at 17 we had him taken away again, this time to a lock-down therapeutic boarding school in Utah. The stealing, violence, and drug use had gone beyond what we could ever have imagined. The years after that were punctuated by many arrests and more than a few stints in jail. I can still feel


the fear I lived with—that at any moment, we'd get a phone call notifying us that he was dead. Yet he survived, and today at 27, after spending four years in a sober living house, he has a good job, a loving girlfriend, and the possibility of a long and happy life. He exercises no less than two hours a day, looks amazing, and is proud of his transformation, as he should be. He loves his family, and often tells us that, but I wonder if he's ever really forgiven us for those two abductions. Do they still haunt him, as they haunt me, especially now, as I drive my mother to the senior living facility for our "lunch date"?

She's in a good mood and chatty as weSince Elaine Furlow said she would not seek re-election to the school board, several candidates have come forward.

The next election is months away, but candidates for Elaine Furlow's seat on the Arlington School Board are already surfacing. Furlow announced Feb. 1 that she will not seek re-election when her term ends in December 2005.

President of the Yorktown High School PTA Jim Rock said he will likely enter the race for the Democratic nomination. Rock, a government relations consultant with two children attending Yorktown, said his platform stresses English-language education at the elementary-school level.

"The school system has done a fairly good job with that, and what they are beginning to see is that kids who speak no English can make tremendous progress if they learn it from an early


age," said Rock, a native of Brownsville, Texas, who learned English in grade school.

As part of the County Council of PTAs, Rock furthered efforts that resulted in the School Board's approval of substantial class-size reductions. Reducing class sizes, he said, is still part of his agenda. Expanding academic options for students is another. For example, Rock said he wants to develop programs for county schools that would connect students to local traditional and community colleges.

"This is a direction Arlington should look into rather than limiting ourselves too much," he said.

Arlington must also take a close look at student nutrition, he said. Rock credited efforts to introduce junk food alternatives to Yorktown students, but, he said, more should be done.

"The halls in our schools are lined with vending machinesall property tax revenue is allocated to Arlington public schools, and the School Board must not take this fiduciary responsibility lightly."

PRESIDENT OF the Drew Model School Association Ed Fendley has launched his independent campaign on a platform of concentration on smaller class sizes and the high cost of living facing teachers in Arlington. Fendley, a PTA representative for Washington-Lee High School and a father of four, said he wants to open a dialogue on how to keep teachers from being priced out of the county where they teach.

"I want to bring people together to look at a range of options," he said. "A first step is recognizing what the value of having these teachers in our community is."

Students, he said, will benefit from having teachers living nearby, and


teachers will be able to do more.

"It makes teachers more productive, more effective, and it raises teacher morale," said Fendley.

Expanding foreign language classes for students, Fendley said, is another of his goals for Arlington schools, along with reducing the number of standardized tests students face during the year.

"Some of them are mandatory, and some are not," said Fendley, who argues that unnecessary standardized tests waste classroom time. "Over the years, the number of them given has increased. It's at the point now when we just need to step back and look at them all."

Fendley, who works for the US. State Department, added that Arlington schools must also open their doors to other segments of the community by sharing facilities with local residents.

She also served on the committee that pushed for the creation of the Claremont Immersion Elementary School.

"One of my big desires is to bring parents into the process by teaching them how to get involved in their child's education," she said.

Espenoza has long been an advocate of expanding language programs in schools. Such programs, she said, raise the likelihood of higher student achievement later in life.

“The critical importance of education is that it opens the door to opportunity and to a future," she said.

Engaging the entire community in what happens at Arlington schools, she said, is another of her goals.

"Because so few of us in


Arlington have children in the school system, we need to find a way to connect with the larger community," she said.

The core principles of managing the school district effectively, she said, are faculty leadership, a curriculum that supports teachers in the classroom, and parental involvement. Espenoza is a former professor of law at the University of Denver and at St. Mary's University in San Antonio. She is a member of the Utah, Colorado and Texas state bar associations.

Might want to read this article from the NYT a few months ago on couples that decided to have sex once a day, one couple for 101 days straight and the other for an entire year:

According to a 2004 study, “American Sexual Behavior,” by the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago, married couples have intercourse about 66 times a year. But that number is skewed by young marrieds, as young as 18, who couple, on average, 109 times a year.

Either way, those statistics put the Mullers and Browns in Olympic-record territory. That they thought a sex marathon would reinvigorate their marriages might say as much about the American penchant for exercise and goal-setting1986, U.S. officials claimed that aiding bin Laden's network would translate in a drop in terrorist activity. In an exclusive interview, Gunderson told how a high-level official in the administration of President Ronald Reagan approached him in 1986 to see if he could arrange, outside of government channels, a means to provide help to the Afghanis fighting the Soviet invaders. Details of the arrangements established by Gunderson were first reported in the Jan. 7 and Feb. 11, 2002 issues of American Free Press. Gunderson contacted scientist Michael Riconosciuto, who at the time kept close ties to key Middle East moneymen and Red Chinese and other weapons for the U.S. through his work with the CIA. Subsequently, Gunderson arranged a meeting in the spring of 1986 at the Hilton


Hotel on Ventura Boulevard in Sherman Oaks, Calif., between himself, Riconosciuto, Ralph Olberg, who covertly represented the State Department at the meeting and served on its Middle East desk, and a man identified as “Tim Osman.” As Gunderson would discover only last year, “Osman” was bin Laden, dressed in ordinary casual Western attire and traveling on a Turkish passport. Gunderson has also since found that there is a real Osman, who is a Turkish official. Gunderson was asked to set up the meeting because of his knowledge of international terrorism, having retired from the FBI in the late 1970s. At the time he was senior special agent in charge, a post equivalent to assistant director, of the 700-plus-man Los Angeles bureau. He immediately approached Riconosciuto, with whom hehad previously worked on several classified projects, including the development of a devastating new fuel-air ex plosive device. AIDING THE REBELLION Gunderson says the only part he played in the deal was to put the key players in touch with Sir Dennis Kendall, who lived in Beverly Hills, Calif. Kendall had been known by Gunderson for years and maintained the “right contacts” to help set up an operation to aid the rebels in Afghanistan. According to Gunderson, Kendall, a former member of the British parliament, was a double agent during World War II. He worked for both the Germans and the British. Among other things, Gunderson said, Kendall was able to garner top-secret German intelligence for British MI-6 intelligence agency through a relationship with a secretary of the


German ambassador in Madrid, Spain. Kendall made arrangements to aid the Afghan rebels through a Saudi Arabian front organization known as Maktab-al-Khidmat, which provided the funding for aiding the rebels. After leaving Gunderson in California, Riconosciuto, bin Laden, Olberg and Kendall traveled to Boston, where they met with Abdulah Assam, a leader of the Egyptian Islamic Brotherhood, and details of the aid plan were further formulated. Kendall had contacts with the international police organization, Interpol, which he had probably gained due to its close ties with German intelligence during World War II, Gunderson said. Interpol provided secure communications and kept the operation from being compromised or discovered, he said. Gunderson said he understands that the operation involved travel by Riconosciuto and others to England, Egypt, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistanand Pakistan. The operation was formalized in Boston with a number of unnamed congressmen. The project ultimately provided the Afghani resistance with 600 stinger surface-to-air, shoulder-fired missiles, which had been modified so they could not be used against American aircraft if captured. The project also provided thousands of Red Chinese 107-millimeter rockets with aerial proximity fuses. Gunderson said that these weapons turned the tide of battle in Afghanistan against the Soviets, whose aircraft, and particularly attack helicopters, fell victim to the missiles. The rebels were also supplied armor-piercing ammunition, demolition charges, remote detonators and intelligence information on the Soviets, which probably, Gunderson said, was funneled from the CIA, particularly through satellite imagery.

Stephenson has the third-most wins as a college coach in history, winning 1798 games for Wichita State, leading the Shockers to seven College World Series and 26 NCAA Tournaments. Stephenson is a Legionnaire, a Legion Baseball alum, an American Legion Boys State alum and a color commentator for the American Legion World Seriesundrafted and still be one of the few to find NFL success. That player is Utah’s Tyler Huntley.

Huntley has been the Utes' starting quarterback dating back to 2017 and was average to slightly above average in his first two years in the role. He missed a handful of games due to injury in both 2017 and 2018 and capped those years with 72.1 and 78.0 PFF overall grades, respectively. Then, in 2019, Huntley put together a special, yet underrated, season.

Huntley put together an elite 90.0 PFF overall grade for the 2019 season that ranked eighth among FBS quarterbacks. And he was the eighth-most valuable player in all of college football, regardless of position — leading Utah to an 11-3 season. In 12 of those 14 games Huntley played


in, he put together a passing grade above 70.0, which tied with Ohio State’s Justin Fields for the second most behind only Joe Burrow. There was really only one game in which Huntley performed poorly (Week 8 against Arizona State when he recorded a 28.8 passing grade), and he played through some of the contest with an injury he suffered in the second quarter. Toss that game out, and his grade jumps to the third best in college football.USA v Panama: Three things to watch for on Tuesday
