Tackle Shop, in Rutherford County, State of Tennessee. And that at
               this particular location where this happened that Mr. Crawford, who
               is the codefendant, the state believes fatally shot Mr. Talley, two
               times with a 380 caliber handgun.
                        During part of this altercation, Mr. Henderson was in contact
               with the victim, Mr. Talley, and at some point did have his hands on
                him and was holding him. After Mr. Talley had been shot the proof
                would be that it appears from the evidence and from the statements

       At the post-conviction hearing, the petitioner testified that he felt coerced because he did not
receive videotapes of witnesses the state intended to call until the day before the plea acceptance.
He said the videotapes were brought to the jail for him to review. He said he reviewed the
videotapes and saw the witnesses that would be presented to testify against him at trial. The
petitioner said that he and his attorney had conflicting views about one of the witness’s testimony.
He said the attorney believed the testimony was damaging but that he did not. The petitioner
testified that his attorney encouraged him to plead guilty based on that one witness’s testimony. The
petitioner testified that he and his attorney did not review the videotapes together. The petitioner
alsoclaims that he was coerced because he did not receive documents pertaining to his trial until the
last minute. However, the petitioner conceded that he had the opportunity to review the documents.
The petitioner testified that he was given all the videotapes and two hours to review them at the jail.
The petitioner said he did not make a complaint against his attorney because he thought he was
supposed to go along with everything.

        The petitioner testified that he based his decision to plead guilty on his attorney’s judgment.
He said he did not feel that he should have pled guilty. The petitioner testified that he did not
understand what he was doing at the time he entered his plea. He said he answered “yes” to the
questions


that he was asked because he thought if he did not, the plea would be taken away, and he
would receive a sentence of fifty-one years. The petitioner testified that he and his post-conviction
attorney had met and gone over the transcript from the plea acceptance hearing. He acknowledged
that his testimony at the post-conviction hearing was different from his testimony at the plea
acceptance hearing.

         The petitioner testified that he met with his trial attorney four or five times after he was
appointed and that he understood what he was charged with. He said he did not think he had a
chance to review everything before trial because he did not receive all of it until the last minute. He
said his trial attorney told himattorney testified that he was appointed to represent the petitioner in
September 2002. Following his appointment, he obtained a copy of the court file, filed pretrial
motions, filed a discovery request, and went to see the petitioner. He testified that the first time he
met with the petitioner, he spent about three hours with him going over the indictment, reviewing
the court file, and discussing the facts of the case. He said he explained the charges to the petitioner,
gave the petitioner copies of statutes under which the petitioner was charged, as well as sentencing
statutes for first degree murder, and reviewed them with the petitioner.

       The trial attorney testified that he and the petitioner did not watch the witness videotapes
together because the petitioner became upset and refused


to watch the tapes further. He said he did
discuss the contents of the videotapes with the petitioner and how they would be used at trial.

        The trial attorney testified that he never discussed with the petitioner what the length of his
sentence might be. He said he gave the petitioner a copy of the sentencing statutes on murder and
let him derive from that his exposure. The trial attorney stated that he never told the petitioner that
proceeding to trial would result in a conviction. However, he said he did tell him that if he did not
win at trial, he would face a substantial period of time in the penitentiary. The trial attorney testified
that he never discussed a change of venue with the petitioner.American jets killed Iraqi troops with
firebombs – similar to the controversial napalm used in the Vietnam
War – in March and April as Marines battled toward Baghdad.

Marine Corps fighter pilots and commanders who have returned from
the war zone have confirmed dropping dozens of incendiary bombs near
bridges over the Saddam Canal and the Tigris River. The explosions
created massive fireballs.

Mark 77 Firebomb

"We napalmed both those (bridge) approaches," said Col. Randolph
Alles in a recent interview. He commanded Marine Air Group 11, based
at Miramar Marine Corps Air Station, during the war. "Unfortunately,
there were people there because you could see them in the (cockpit)
video.

"They were Iraqi soldiers there. It's no great way to die," he
added. How many Iraqis died, the military couldn't say. No accurate
count has been made of Iraqi war casualties.

The bombing campaign


helped clear the path for the Marines' race
to Baghdad.

During the war, Pentagon spokesmen disputed reports that napalm
was being used, saying the Pentagon's stockpile had been destroyed
two years ago.

Apparently the spokesmen were drawing a distinction between the
terms "firebomb" and "napalm." If reporters had asked about
firebombs, officials said yesterday they would have confirmed their
use.

What the Marines dropped, the spokesmen said yesterday, were
"Mark 77 firebombs." They acknowledged those are incendiary devices
with a function "remarkably similar" to napalm weapons.

Rather than using gasoline and benzene as the fuel, the firebombs
use kerosene-based jet fuel, which has a smaller concentration of
benzene.

Hundreds of partially loaded Mark 77 firebombs were stored on
pre-positioned ammunition ships overseas, Marine Corps officials
said. Those ships were unloaded in Kuwait during the weeks preceding
the war.

"You can call it something other than napalm, butit's napalm,"
said John Pike, defense analyst with
GlobalSecurity.org, a nonpartisan research group in Alexandria,
Va.

Although many human rights groups consider incendiary bombs to be
inhumane, international law does not prohibit their use against
military forces. The United States has not agreed to a ban against
possible civilian targets.

"Incendiaries create burns that are difficult to treat," said
Robert Musil, executive director of Physicians for Social
Responsibility, a Washington group that opposes the use of weapons
of mass destruction.

Musil described the Pentagon's distinction between napalm and
Mark 77 firebombs as "pretty outrageous."

"That's clearly Orwellian," he added.

Developed during World War II and dropped on troops and Japanese
cities, incendiary bombs have been used by American forces in nearly
every conflict since. Their use became controversial during the
Vietnam War when U.S. and South Vietnamese aircraft dropped millions
of pounds of napalm. Its effects were


shown in a Pulitzer
Prize-winning photograph of Vietnamese children running from their
burned village.

Before March, the last time U.S. forces had used napalm in combat
was the Persian Gulf War, again by Marines.

During a recent interview about the bombing campaign in Iraq,
Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Jim Amos confirmed aircraft dropped what he
and other Marines continue to call napalm on Iraqi troops on several
occasions. He commanded Marine jet and helicopter units involved in
the Iraq war and leads the Miramar-based 3rd Marine Air Wing.

Miramar pilots familiar with the bombing missions pointed to at
least two locations where firebombs were dropped.

Before the Marines crossed the Saddam Canal in central Iraq, jets
dropped several firebombs on enemy positions near a bridge that
would become the Marines' main crossing point on the road toward
Numaniyah, a key town 40 milesfrom Baghdad.

Next, the bombs were used against Iraqis near a key Tigris River
bridge, north of Numaniyah, in early April.

There were reports of another attack on the first day of the war.

Two embedded journalists reported what they described as napalm
being dropped on an Iraqi observation post at Safwan Hill
overlooking the Kuwait border.

Reporters for CNN and theSydney
(Australia) Morning Herald were
told by unnamed Marine officers that aircraft dropped napalm on the
Iraqi position, which was adjacent to one of the Marines' main
invasion routes.

Their reports were disputed by several Pentagon spokesmen who
said no such bombs were used nor did the United States have any
napalm weapons.

The Pentagon destroyed its stockpile of napalm canisters, which
had been stored near Camp Pendleton at the Fallbrook Naval Weapons
Station, in April 2001.

Yesterday military spokesmen described what they see as


the
distinction between the two types of incendiary bombs. They said
mixture used in modern firebombs is a less harmful mixture than
Vietnam War-era napalm.

"Many folks (out of
habit) refer to the Mark 77 as 'napalm' because its
effect upon the target is remarkably similar."

Col. Michael Daily

"This additive has significantly less of an impact on the
environment," wrote Marine spokesman Col. Michael Daily, in an
e-mailed information sheet provided by the Pentagon.

He added, "many folks (out of habit) refer to the Mark 77 as
'napalm' because its effect upon the target is remarkably similar."

In the e-mail, Daily also acknowledged that firebombs were
dropped near Safwan Hill.

Alles, who oversaw the Safwan bombing raid, said 18 one-ton
satellite-guided bombs, but no incendiary bombs, were dropped on the
site.

Military experts say incendiary bombs can be an effective weapon
in certain situations.

Firebombs are usefulagainst dug-in troops and light vehicles,
said GlobalSecurity's Pike.

"I used it routinely in Vietnam," said retired Marine Lt. Gen.
Bernard Trainor, now a prominent defense analyst. "I have no moral
compunction against using it. It's just another weapon."

And, the distinctive fireball and smell have a psychological
impact on troops, experts said.

"The generals love napalm," said Alles, who has transferred to
Washington. "It has a big psychological effect."

Frequency and cost of human intervention at lambing: an interbreed comparison.
The frequency of human intervention during lambing was assessed for 708 lambs and 162 ewes in up to four deliveries. In total, 21.8 per cent of the lambs born alive required some assistance at birth and 9.4 per cent were delivered manually. Assistance was required less frequently by twin lambs and ewe lambs, and Scottish blackface lambs required assistance less frequently than Suffolk lambs. Approximately one-third of the ewes were assisted in at least one delivery and 10 per cent were assisted in all their deliveries; however, less than 20 per cent of ewes were assisted more than once. A quarter of the lambs needed some human intervention to suck successfully, and Suffolk lambs needed help more frequently.Alfie Allen gave one of the standout performances of Game of Thrones season two, playing one of the least sympathetic characters: Theon Greyjoy. Theon's actions are almost impossible to defend, but Allen made us understand his inner struggle. So we were excited to have an exclusive interview with Allen at San Diego Comic Con, when he told us what's next for Theon.

Painting Cartoon Characters Like Real People: *BRRR!*

I just heard a very interesting radio program about the life of yet another murderer and child sodomizer working for the Catholic Church: Caravaggio. His works were the basis of the sado-masochist, Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ.

His works were gritty and realistic, and those chapels and churches that didn't condemn Caravaggio as a heretic saw them as good for the poor. You see, the dirty poor people were used to seeing prostitutes and disease: why not give it to them ? The works are undeniably brilliant. It's interesting to see the many portraits of Mary, Queen of Heaven, modeled by known prostitutes, or paintings of dirty street urchins, posed by his boy-lovers. It's like painting the Nativity ofChrist with Paris Hilton, Tommy Lee and Mini Me.

Check out the biography of this violent, sexually depraved man. Perfect for the Church.

Christians: where the fuck have you been? This is true christian art. You lost your soul in the mid-1800's Victorian era, when christian art met sentimentalism. Ever since, it's been nothing but C.R.A.P. Where are the Caravaggios? Where are the Handels? All we have is Sandy Patty and pictures of Jesus wrapped in the American flag, playing hockey. Hummel killed you all. From Caravaggio to Precious Moments. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

Caravaggio hated the church. He was villianized by it. He was a pragmatist though and knew that he needed Christian money so he could live the life he wanted. I don't think any of


for Charlie Weis at Notre Dame in a pro system. He has a strong arm and is an accurate passer. He also throws what is termed "a receiver friendly" ball which is more important than may seem. Too many quarterbacks come out of college with the ability to throw a ball through a brick wall and continue to do that on short routes where it is not needed. He rarely threw interceptions in college which is another major plus. He has all the markings of a quarterback who should end up no less than "good" with a shot at "very good" once the Browns assemble an offense with any potency. He has been likened to Tom Brady but that could have started with his agent. 2007 Expectations: Possibleand in 2006 when he had a chance to be the man he was benched after only two games. He had issues with the coaching staff and was suspended for one game and did not become a starter again until the final four games of last year. He only had six starts at Arizona and only ran the ball 296 times for 896 yards in college which is only a 3.3 yard average. So far he has not yet played up to the level that he may be capable of and yet he has a golden opportunity in Tennessee. 2007 Expectation: A definite training camp watch if only because he doesn't have much to work through to get playing time.

Brandon Jackson (2.31 GB) - Evidently HC Mike McCarthy


was being honest when he said he was comfortable with Vernand Morency as a starter because the Packers waited until the end of the second round to get a running back. The Nebraska back is not the biggest back at only 210 pounds but he brings in good vision and the ability to break a long run with his 4.43 speed. Jackson is an aggressive inside runner who can pick his way in traffic. He's considered to be more of a project because he only had one year of heavy use in college but showed decent ability catching the ball last year. 2007 Expectation: Definite training camp watch because I, unlike McCarthy, would not be comfortable with Morency as a starter. There could be opportunity here.

Tony Hunt (3.27PHI) - Hunt is a good back though not great in any particular area. At 6'0 and 230 pounds, he has good straight line power and his 4.53 speed means Brian Westbrook is plenty safe. 2007 Expectation: Likely none, though he could end up challenging Correll Buckhalter for the support role for Westbrook.

Michael Bush (4.01 OAK) - The Louisville back was considered a likely future first rounder until he broke his leg in the first game last year. His leg required a rod to heal and he still is not completely recovered. He was a dynamic force at tailback when healthy though. 2007 Expectation - None. He may even end up IR'd for the season which would likely serve him well but for those in dynasty leagues that


now that he may still be double covered if he shows up well in games. This is a great spot for him to land but as a rookie he will have to get past Mike Furrey. He will produce this year but it will be hard to match the numbers dreamed by the fantasy drafter who takes him.

Ted Ginn Jr. (1.09 MIA) - The Ohio State speedster was a game changer in college and is a multiple threat since he also is a great special teams returner. At only 179 pounds, he will need to learn how to defeat line jams as a receiver but once he is in the clear, he'll leave defenders in his wake. He is still recovering from a foot injury that by hisvery good offense. 2007 Expectation: Obviously the 7th rounder Marques Colston excelled last year in this offense but that would be optimistic to expect Meacham to repeat. Still, he should end up with playing time this season and if he looks good in training camp, he could end up the #2 there early in the season.

Craig Davis (1.30 SD) - The LSU product played as the #2 along with Dwayne Bowe and that is a role that most consider him likely to fill in the NFL. He is good in all facets of the game and yet not really great in any. With LaDainian Tomlinson and Antonio Gates already well entrenched, no wideout in San Diego is likely to have a major fantasy impact. 2007 Expectation: Likely limited


Wisconsin Public Radio wanted to do something simple: start running Car Talk , the most popular single hour on public radio. But to do this, they had to move their local car show, About Cars, from the morning to the afternoon. The host of About Cars was so upset about this — and what he felt was mistreatment in the past — that he not only refused to move, he started a monthly newsletter about it and organized a public rally. Fifteen hundred people wrote angry letters; 126 swore they'd never give to Wisconsin Public Radio again. The State Legislature got involved. They conducted an audit, which took months.

 The FELA's legislative history testifies to this truth:
[T]he employers' liability law ... places such stringent liability upon the railroads for injuries to their employees as to compel the highest safeguarding of the lives and limbs of the men in this dangerous employment.  The tremendous loss of life and limb on the railroads of this country is appalling.  The total casualties to trainmen on the interstate railroads of the United States for the year 1908 was 281,645.
It was the intention of Congress in the enactment of this law ... to shift the burden of theloss resulting from these casualties from "those least able to bear it" and place it upon those who can, as the Supreme Court said in the Taylor case (210 U.S. 281), "measurably control their causes."
The passage of the original act and the perfection thereof by the amendments herein proposed stand forth as a declaration of public policy to radically change, as far as congressional power can extend, those rules of the common law which the President, in a recent speech at Chicago, September 16, 1909, characterized as "unjust."

The Associated Press reported late Monday night that Clinton has reached the 2,383-delegate threshold needed to secure her party's nomination, becoming the first woman ever chosen as the presidential nominee of a major US political party. But her opponents immediately rebuffed the AP's assessment, pointing out that the tally includes 571 superdelegates, who can change their allegiance any time until the votes are officially cast at the Democratic convention on July 25.

"It is


unfortunate that the media, in a rush to judgment, are ignoring the Democratic National Committee's clear statement that it is wrong to count the votes of superdelegates before they actually vote at the convention this summer," Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs said in a statement.

Clinton has long been eager to put away her Democratic opponent and pivot to the general election against presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump. On Monday night, she took to Twitter to say she was "flattered" by the AP's call, but that the campaign still had more primaries to win.

Voters in California, New Jersey, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and New Mexico head to the polls on Tuesday, with a combined 694 pledged Democratic delegates at stake. Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver said that calling therace early for Clinton "threatens to suppress voter turnout" in these states, adding that high voter turnout in California especially, which has 475 pledged delegates up for grabs, will boost down-ballot Democrats in November.

"In California, a high voter turnout won't just mean a victory for our movement," Weaver wrote in an email to supporters Tuesday. "With large numbers of young people hitting the polls, we'll boost so many Democrats in major primaries that right-wing Republicans will be locked out of general election ballots for some of the most important House and Senate races of the fall."

Sanders has faced calls to concede the nomination early and start unifying the party, but a win for the Vermont senator in California would bolster his case for continuing to the fight through


to the convention in Philadelphia, even though it's unlikely that a victory would provide him with enough delegates to close the gap with Clinton in any significant way. The Democrats use a proportional system of allocating delegates, which means a close contest between Clinton and Sanders in California would result in a near even split of pledged delegates. A polling average compiled by FiveThirtyEight has Clinton leading Sanders 48-43 in California.

Clinton supporters also hold that even if Sanders wins the popular vote, it's unlikely that superdelegates, who have a 15 percent stake in choosing the nominee, will jump ship. Earlier in March, half a dozen superdelegates in New York made waves and headlines after promising to back Clinton regardless of the results of the New York primary. Clintonended up winning the New York contest, but Sanders supporters were disturbed by what they saw as an effort by the party establishment to disregard the will of voters.

At a press conference in Los Angeles on Saturday, Sanders once again proclaimed that "the Democratic National Convention will be a contested convention" if Clinton falls short of the requisite number of pledged delegates to win the nomination outright. His supporters have told VICE News they are also expecting a contested convention, and have backed the campaign's strategy to convince superdelegates to switch sides.

"It's definitely going to be a contested convention," said Kimberly Tregoning, a Sanders delegate from Kalamazoo, Michigan who will be attending the convention. "We know how imperative it is that we get there and we are able


is inclusive of this new populist progressive movement that's coming in."

Clinton's lead in the polls in California shrunk in recent weeks as the Sanders camp has campaigned heavily across the state, but she is leading Sanders comfortably in polls in New Jersey, where 126 pledged delegates are up for grabs on Tuesday. The latest YouGov survey from early June put her 27 points ahead of her rival there.

Polls in New Jersey will be one of the first to close at 8pm ET. South Dakota's polls also close at 8pm, followed by Montana at 9pm ET and New Mexico at 10pm ET. North Dakota will also begin caucusing at 8pm ET. Voting booths in California will be the last to close at 11pm ET.

Late last month, Trump secured themagic number of delegates (1,237) needed to clinch his party's nomination. Some of those delegates included at least 95 delegates who are "unbound" to any one candidate. Republican members of Congress and party leaders have rallied around their presumptive nominee — some reluctantly — in an attempt to unify against Democrats and their prospective nominee.

On Monday, the White House indicated that President Barack Obama could also weigh in with an endorsement for a Democratic candidate as early as this week.

"The president intends certainly through the fall, if not earlier, to engage in this campaign," said White House spokesman Josh Earnest. "That's an opportunity the president relishes."

The Sanders campaign in recent weeks has pointed to national polling that places him well ahead of Trump in a general election match-up.


head to head by very much, maybe one match. he's very even with Nadal on Harcourt where as djokovic has managed to lead Nadal by a lot. Murray will win matches, big ones but then get hammered by Nadal like in IW 2009. That was after Murray beat Nadal in a slam and was a big shock really. i would expect Murray to lead the Harcourt head to head but i think he's been too inconsistent to do it.

What surprises me is how easily Nadal wins. Every time they faced in a GS SF in the last years you could tell Nadal was going to win. And he always did, and pretty easily. Even in USO or Wimbledon. This was something I didn't see coming after the USONadal is on top form he just plays the same sort of game but better. Murray sometimes tries to outrally nadal and he often falls short. I think Djokovic is more comfortable at being agressive (though I think even he has become more defensive recently) Murray should try to stay agressive because trying to out rally Nadal is a dangerous game

I do remember Djokovic saying (before 2011) that players thought they had to play points short to beat Rafa, but that he thought it was the opposite, because winning rallies against him hurt Rafa's confidence.
Seems to work well for him, but of course not everyone has the game to be able to do that.

quite qucikly. Federer on the other hand, while showing flashes of brillance, took awhile longer to reach his potential. I put Murray on the Federer side of this equation. Assuming Nadal comes back, I think Murray will be a tough match up for Nadal on hard courts. After all, Djokovic has given Murray the blueprint on how to beat Nadal. Murray's game is obviously simialr to Djokovic, the main difference was Novak has been stronger mentally which could change drastically now that Andy was won both the Olympic gold and the US Open.

Believe me, I wasn't saying it in a way to not credit Nadal, I agree it's to his credit.

And good point. I think in Madrid 2009 Djokovic got close beating Nadal, in MC and Rome he had given him tough matches trying to out rally him. In Madrid Nadal was possibly shaken, he made more errors as Djokovic tested his game. Obviously in 2011 he turned this into straight sets wins. The thing is Djokovic now tries to out rally nadal on hardcourt too, and he's actually had more trouble beating him than he did in 2007-2009. Murray tries and has to be really on form to do it.

Ex Libris®, a ProQuest company, has announced that the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), along with the College of Southern Nevada and Nevada State College, has chosen the Ex Libris Alma® library management service and the Ex Libris Primo® discovery and delivery platform. The Alma platform’s resource management and capabilityright, behind my brother-in-law John Moore's PT Cruiser, are all that remains today of Wardenclyffe, Nikola Tesla's laboratory in Shoreham NY, designed by Stanford White. All but invisible in the woods directly behind me is the huge circular concrete base of the 187-foot-tall tower Tesla raised for the purpose of giving free limitless electricity to the whole world--until his chief backer J.P. Morgan found out, and pulled the plug. (Perhaps one of the most apt uses ever of that particular metaphor.)

Notice the street sign in the foreground. I'm shown standing at the closest spot a civilian can now get to the surviving structures: the corner of Tesla St. and Robinson St. (See photo #551) No shit. It's within a block or two of Rte. 25-A--which is the only


location I ever gave for the original Callahan's Place.

Some, including me, believe it was with that tower, designed by White's associate W.D. Crow (which, by the way, took the best efforts of three successive demolition firms to bring down; a shitload of dynamite was required) that Tesla accidentally caused the Tunguska Event of 1908, which leveled 2,150 square kilometers of Siberian wilderness. See my CALLAHAN'S KEY for details (and see photo #553 for a better shot of the tower's base). He also designed and produced the first Tesla Turbine there, and did the first mass production of Tesla Coils.

The site was subsequently purchased by the Agfa corporation, which polluted it with photographic chemicals so horrifically that it's now a Superfund Cleanup Site, which is why it's surrounded byhigh chain-link with serious barbed wire on top and camera surveillance. (see photo #559)

By a coincidence even more gasp-worthy to me than the name of the nearest intersection, the Wardenclyffe property is in the path of a huge power-line right of way corridor (seen in photo #562), which was constructed for the purpose of carrying the immense amounts of electricity that were expected to be generated by the Shoreham nuclear power plant only a few miles away--which never opened, thanks in part to the efforts of my anti-nuke friends David Crosby and Graham Nash. The reactor was fired up exactly once before it was abandoned, but never produced a single watt. TWO schemes to bring almost limitless power to the Long Island/NYC area, and both of them failed


who invented the modern world single-handed, and got screwed out of all the money and most of the credit.

As Wikipedia notes:

Designation of the structure as a National Landmark is awaiting completion of plant decommissioning activities by its present owner. [The Agfa Corporation--SR]

In 1976, an application was filed to nominate the main building for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. It failed to get approval. The Tesla Wardenclyffe Project, Inc. was established in 1994 for the purpose of seeking placement of the Wardenclyffe laboratory-office building and the Tesla tower foundation on both the New York State and National Registers of Historic Places. Its mission is the preservation and adaptive reuse of Wardenclyffe, the century-old laboratory of electrical pioneer Nikola Tesla located in Shoreham, Long Island, New York.In October 1994 a second application for formal nomination was filed. The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation conducted inspections and determined the facility meets New York State criteria for historic designation. A second visit was made on February 25, 2009. The site cannot be registered until it is nominated by a willing owner.

Anyway, that's how I spent (part of) my winter vacation. The first thing I intend to do when I get home in mid-January will be to record and post a new podcast for you. In the meantime, I hope you'll find these photos entertaining.

As the New Zealand coalition government begins to take the reins, there are questions arising about how the generally close relationship with Australia will be affected after 10 years of relative stability between the two nations.

Jacinda Ardern, due to be sworn in as prime minister on Thursday, said visiting Australia “as soon as possible” would be a priority for her, after tensions between the New Zealand Labour party and the Australian government emerged during the campaign.

Previous New Zealand prime ministers John Key and Bill English described the trans-Tasman relationship as “like family” and “cousins”, but Ardern has been cooler in her descriptions and hinted she is ready to stand up to


enter Australia through the back door of New Zealand in the 1990s and early 2000s and that the country deserved an apology to help get relations back on track.

On the other hand, Labour has pledged to challenge Australia over its “draconian” detention of New Zealanders, with the Labour deputy leader and new corrections minister, Kelvin Davis, particularly passionate about the treatment and detention of New Zealanders on Christmas Island. He visited the facility in 2015 to advocate for the release of New Zealand detainees and called their detention “nonsense”, saying they suffered from beatings and food shortages.

“Those fences and gates that are keeping people in are also keeping real scrutiny out,” he said at the time.

Until then, feel free to read my previous posts about the incredible places I explored on my Epic Rust Belt Road Trip

Across a sprawling 13,000-acre stretch of land lies the scattered remains of a World War II era Ammunition factory. The crumbling industrial buildings and subterranean bunkers of Kingsbury Ordnance Plant punctuate grids of cracked pavement surrounded by farm fields and forestland. The gears of the wartime industry that lifted America from the Great Depression and fueled the Allied victory over the Axis have long since ground to a halt.After an incredible day in Gary, Indiana exploring the abandoned Palace Theater City Methodist Church and other awesome abandoned places , I setout to see the ruins of Kingsbury Ordnance Plant.I stopped at a gas station just outside the city of La Porte. In an icy tone, the cashier asked for my credit card and drivers license to hold while I pumped my gas. I was surprised, but shrugged it off and filled up my tank. When I came back in, she was all smiles and explained that she was being extra careful because she'd never seen me before. The other cashier asked why I was visiting La Porte of all places and then started dancing around behind the counter. We shared a laugh and I got back on the road.The remains of Kingsbury Ordnance Plant are spread out over a huge rural area with a small population, so I


facilities across the United States.LaPorte County, Indiana was deemed a prime location because the land was relatively flat and had plentiful well water. It was far enough inland to avoid enemy attacks, but well positioned near highways and railroads so that product could be easily transported to the East and West coasts. The area was also far enough from any major city that an accidental explosion was unlikely to cause much harm.Buildings were spaced apart so that if an explosion did occur, the surrounding structures would not be damaged. Fortunately, there were never any major accidents.Two hundred and fifty families had to relocate to make room for the ordnance plant. They were given 30 days notice and paid what was deemed fair value for their land.The government purchaseda total of 13,454 acres and quickly began construction.Workers were recruited from the surrounding areas. Many came from the city of Gary because Kingsbury offered higher wages than workers typically earned at US Steel.To accommodate an expected 10,000 workers in a community that only had a population of 16,000, The War Department built thousands of homes, trailers and dormitories just outside the factory. The new settlement was dubbed Kingsford Heights.By May of 1942, employment at Kingsbury Ordnance Plant had swelled to a high of 20,785, about half of whom were women. For many it was their first job outside of the home.Inspired by Rosie the Riveter, the plant adopted "Tillie the TNT Girl" as a mascot.Kingsbury closed at the end of World War II, but reopened in 1951


after the US entered the Korean War. It ceased operations permanently in 1959.A portion of the land has been converted into Kingsbury State Fish and Wildlife Area and another segment is now Kingsbury Industrial Park.Redevelopment of the area has been slow due to the fact that waste from the ammunition plant still exists on the land and cleanup is expensive.Future plans include a new rail yard, the restoration of old railroad tracks and extension of existing lines. The railway will connect Kingsbury with facilities in Florida and across the Midwest, facilitating the distribution of produce and other farm goods. In March 2017, the LaPorte County government took control of the project with the hope of bringing in new developers.From Kingsbury, I made my way to Niles, Michigan toDiversity within the Redeye Bass, Micropterus coosae (Perciformes: Centrarchidae) species group, with descriptions of four new species.
The Redeye Bass, Micropterus coosae, was described from the Mobile River basin, Chattahoochee, and Savannah rivers in Alabama and Georgia, USA, by Hubbs and Bailey (1940). At that time the authors recognized significant variation in the Black Warrior River population, and noted that with further study this form may be recognized as a separate taxon. An examination of variation in morphology and mitochondrial DNA supported this observation, and highlighted additional species-level variation, resulting in descriptions of a total of four new species: Micropterus cahabae, new sp., restricted to the Cahaba River system; Micropterus tallapoosae, new sp., restricted to the Tallapoosa River system; Micropterus warriorensis, new sp., from the Black Warrior River system;

Dr. J. F. Supplee III

Dr. J. Frank Supplee III, a retired specialist in internal medicine, died early yesterday at Union Memorial Hospital after a short illness. He was 72.

Services for Dr. Supplee will be held at 3 p.m. tomorrow at St. John's Episcopal Church, 1700 South Road in Mount Washington.

He retired about seven years ago after being in private practice in Baltimore since 1949.

A member of the staffs at Union Memorial and Johns Hopkins hospitals and the Greater Baltimore Medical Center, he belonged to the Baltimore City Medical Society, the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland, the American Medical Association and the Society of Internal Medicine.

He served in the Army Medical Corps during and after World War II, and later served in the Maryland National Guard, where hewas surgeon general and earlier commander of the 136th Evacuation Hospital. He retired from the Guard as a full colonel after 30 years of military service.

The Baltimore native was a graduate of Gilman School, Princeton University and, in 1944, of Johns Hopkins medical school.

He began his military service after his graduation from Hopkins, but also served as a resident in internal medicine at Union Memorial Hospital.

Dr. Supplee is survived by his wife, the former Sally Mann; a son, J. Frank Supplee IV of Fairfax, Va.; two daughters, Sally Supplee French of Germantown and Elizabeth Supplee Stewart of McLean, Va.; a brother, Edward A. Supplee of Baltimore; a sister, Montgomery Supplee Abbott of West Chester, Pa.; and six grandchildren.

Republican congressman, an early supporter of President Donald Trump, sat quietly next to his attorney during the hearing. Outside, about two dozen protesters surrounded and shouted at him on his short walk to a car with a waiting driver.

His father, former U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter Sr., told reporters that the charges were politically motivated. Attorneys for the congressman have argued that prosecutors tied to the case were at a Hillary Clinton fundraiser in August 2015 and tried to get a photo with the Democrat, compromising their impartiality.

The elder Hunter, who sat in the front row of the courtroom, gave reporters copies of an email from the U.S. Secret Service on how to get a photo taken with Clinton at the fundraiser. The email, part of a June 24attorney when he deployed as a Marine to Iraq in 2003 and that she handled his finances during his last five terms in office.

Hunter, 42, was re-elected in his strongly Republican congressional district in San Diego County last year despite the indictment.

The Hunter name represents something of a political dynasty in the area — his father captured the seat in 1980 and held it until his son was elected in 2008.

O’Rourke hails from El Paso, a tiny, liberal speck in the conservative vastness of Texas. Neighboring Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, El Paso sits on the convergence of New Mexico, Texas, and México, and has a massive Hispanic population, making it a natural Democratic stronghold. From 2005 until 2011, O’Rourke served as a member of its city council, where, as one of its youngest members, he dedicated himself to addressing and solving the city drug crisis. In 2010, as city councilman, the Columbia-grad led a campaign to end the “militaristic” inclinations of the War on Drugs. He focused his attention on the devastating effects of American drug policy on border communities like El Paso. The city council passed a resolution “condemn[ing] all unlawful acts of malicious violence, persecution, intimidation, terrorization,and harassment” in both El Paso and Ciudad Juárez. The resolution went on to plead for “solidarity” with El Paso’s sister city as a part of a greater “bi-national community.” Its final clauses, however, call upon the governments of both the United States and Mexico to bring a stop to the destruction caused by antiquated and oppressive policies.

The border between Ciudad Juárez, México (left) and El Paso, United States (right) is often frequented by drug traffickers and violence. Yet, most crimes disproportionately affect those living on the Mexican side of the border or in poorer Latino communities on the American side, one of many issues O’Rourke had hoped to address (via Flickr)

The mayor of El Paso vetoed the bill. Immediately following, the city council threatened to respond with


an override. As rhetoric escalated first in El Paso, then in Austin, tensions reached Washington, and O’Rourke’s efforts sparked a national debate. This culminated in an international summit between US President Barack Obama and President Felipe Calderon of México, which aimed to reexamine and resolve the issues of violence and the abusive culture surrounding the American War on Drugs. Even as a city councilman, O'Rourke's exhibited a passion and drive had national, and ultimately international, implications.

His actions as a city council member set the stage for his election to the US House in 2012. Just as he is attempting to do now, Beto O’Rourke unseated a respected and powerful incumbent. Despite his competition’s endorsement by not one, but two Presidents (Barack Obama and Bill Clinton), O’Rourke defeated eight-termcongressman Silvestre Reyes in the Democratic primary. From there, he went on to sweep the general election to represent Texas’ 16th Congressional District. The district, which includes most of El Paso County, proved to be the perfect place to foster a culture of liberal politics inside Texas. Using El Paso as a political playground, O’Rourke has developed a unique progressive agenda that can be woven into the framework of a Republican state.

Take gun violence, for example. The proliferation of guns in the United States is a critical issue that nearly all Democrats seem to be unified against. O’Rourke has spoken out about the issue repeatedly. It has taken a central role in his voting record and his legislative agenda. Yet, this seems to be something that would clash

Science in the Courtroom

An editorial in the New York Times (January 29,2007) stated "Modern DNA testing is steadily uncovering a dark history of justice denied. More than 190 DNA exonerations in 18 years show ever more alarming patterns of citizens, wrongly convicted, suffering in prison. Consider the eight felons finally exonerated through DNA challenges in New York State in just the last 13 months. Or the 12 people who had to fight long and hard to prove their innocence in Dallas County, Tex., alone in the past five years. New York and Texas are, in fact, the leading states in yielding these hard-fought exonerations. This is hardly a credit to their justice systems since the victories are won by dedicated pro bono lawyers, not bystate monitors charged with finding injustice." Reading this statement brought back to mind my pro bono representation of Dave Davis from 1988 until 2002. Briefly Davis was accused, tried and convicted of the murder of his wife via the purported injection of the drug succinylcholine, a muscle paralyzing agent used in anesthesia to temporarily paralyze the vocal cords to pass an endotracheal tube so that airway control can be maintained during surgery. The so-called test to prove the presence of the drug in the body of his wife was performed by Robert Forney, a toxicologist at the Medical College of Ohio who lied during his testimony about scientific criticisms of his test. The testing was performed in the early 1980s and has never been replicated since. Tens of

THINGS INVISIBLE TO SEE: Russia’s vanishing act on Ukraine and the country’s literary renaissance

by

By Steve Komarnyckyj

Ukraine looms over the map of East Europe like a dragon, its head nuzzling Poland and its truncated tail fading out at the edge of the Black Sea. Yet this country, whose black soil has lured invaders since Genghis Khan pitched his tent in the Steppe, remains invisible. Ukrainian literature is the equal of that of its Slavic neighbours, but is unknown in the West. The Ukrainian authors we know, such as Gogol (Ukrainian Hohol) and arguably Chekhov, wrote in Russian. The invisibility of the country’s literature is linked to its status as a Russian colony. The Tsarist and Soviet regimes repeatedly tried to strangle the Ukrainian language. The Ems Ukaz (1876) isthe most notorious attempt to legislate the language out of existence. This secret decree, signed by Alexander II, prohibited publishing anything in Ukrainian except for reprinting old documents. Ukrainians were serfs for much of their history. Taras Shevchenko (1814-1861) may be the only nineteenth century European national poet ever to have been owned by another human being.

The attempts by Ukrainians to appeal to the international community for help to address this oppression have gone unheard. When Mykhailo Drahomanov tried to present a paper covering the suppression of Ukrainian literature at the European Literary Conference in Paris in 1878. The item was not included on the agenda because the assembled authors were concerned about protecting copyright within Russia. Pragmatism and self-interest triumphed over principle. Russia has colonised the imagination


give voice to the colonised peoples of Europe.

The revolutions sweeping the country have resulted in a wave of experimentation in modern Ukrainian literature. The Russian translator of Ukrainian literature, Elena Marinicheva, when comparing contemporary Ukrainian and Russian literatures, argues that the former has “advanced further”. The poet Liubov Iakymchuk’s lament for the carnage caused by Russia in her native region is one of many ground-breaking recent works. Oleh Poliakov satirises the beauty industry in The Slaves and the Friends of Lady Vekla. The novel has the surface dazzle of Martin Amis, and a lot of belly laughs, but touches on something deeper. Oleh Shynkarenko’s novel Kaharlyk began as a series of dispatches from an alternative reality on Facebook. The novel is described by Andrey Kurkov as a seriesof beautifully crafted puzzles. The protagonist goes on a journey, as fantastic as Gulliver’s trip to the land of the talking horses.

Ukrainian literature is slowly beginning to trickle into the West. In 2013 I won an English PEN award for my translations of Ihor Pavlyuk’s work (A Flight Over the Black Sea, Waterloo Press, 2014). The book was subsequently voted the reader’s favourite on the PEN World Bookshelf. I also work as the co-director of Kalyna Language Press Limited. We have published two novels translated from Ukrainian into English. Raven’s Way is a tale from Ukraine’s independence war set in the twenties, which combines Cossacks, Amazons and Witches with graphic battle scenes. Episodic Memory is a beautifully crafted fictionalised memoir of a Steppe childhood. The book reads as


MEXICO CITY—As spiraling drug violence kills thousands in Mexico and police battle gangs for control of Brazil's drug-infested slums, a high-level international panel has concluded that the U.S.-led war on drugs isn't working.

"The global war on drugs has failed," said a report by the Global Commission on Drug Policy released Thursday. The report calls for a frank dialogue on the issue and encourages governments to experiment with the regulation of drugs, especially marijuana.

The...1982. At the same time, the GA requested the Security Council to include Arabic among its official and working languages, and the Economic and Social Council to include Arabic among its official languages, by 1 January 1983.

As of 1983, the Security Council (like the General Assembly) recognized six official and working languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish.

In the Economic and Social Council, as of 1992, there were six official languages (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish) of which three were working languages (English, French, and Spanish). Later, Arabic, Chinese, and Russian were added as working languages in the Economic and Social Council.

Proposed "Semi-Official" language policy

In 2002, it was proposed to the then current UN Secretary General Kofi Annan that the UN develops a 'Semi-Official' or


day. Hindi is the fourth most-spoken first language in the world, after Mandarin, Spanish and English.

In 2007, it was reported that the government would "make immediate diplomatic moves to seek the status of an official language for Hindi at the United Nations". According to a 2009 press release from its Ministry of External Affairs, the Government of India has been "working actively" to have Hindi recognized as an official language of the UN. In 2015, Nepal's Vice President Parmananda Jha stated his firm support for the inclusion of Hindi as an official language of the UN.

But that is the fate which has befallen goalkeeper Iker Casillas.

He has now been out of the Madrid starting XI for 26 league games in a row, going back into last season.

For years the idea of Casillas leaving the club would have been dismissed as pure fantasy, but Diego Lopez has been firmly established ahead of him now under successive managers. Iker must be considering his options, especially with the World Cup in Brazil around the corner.

He will want a shot at a second world title, but he is unlikely to hold down his Spain place after 18 months of not being a regular starter for his club.

Kevin de Bruyne

Despite starting the season as part of Chelsea's XI in the Premier League, Kevin de Bruyne


has quickly fallen out of favour at Stamford Bridge.

He has played just six minutes in the Blues' last four league games. He has also not played in the Champions League after being left out of the named squad and has yet to complete 90 minutes in any competition this term.

All in all, it hasn't been the happy start he had hoped for as a first-teamer at Chelsea after several loan spells abroad. It could well be that another temporary stint away is required to regain his confidence and productivity.

Nikica Jelavic

Paul Thomas/Getty Images

After a great start to life at Everton, Nikica Jelavic's career has fizzled out on Merseyside over the past 18 months.

With loan star Romelu Lukaku now established in the team ahead of him and fellow forward ArounaKone being a Roberto Martinez signing, it will soon become apparent that Jelavic is a third-choice striker in a team which usually plays with just one up top.

Jelavic has scored just one league goal in 2013—just once, in fact, since December 9, 2012, a far cry from his first half-season after joining from Rangers.

After playing all but one league game in 2012-13, Jelavic has missed both of Everton's last two league fixtures with Lukaku playing a leading role.

Jucilei

Epsilon/Getty Images

In all the madness and mayhem of the summer at Anzhi Makhachkala, one man got left behind in the Great Clearout 2013: Brazilian midfielder Jucilei.

While a dozen of his teammates were sold or returned from whence they came, he remains one of the few imports at the club who are,


unsurprisingly, struggling immensely in the Russian Premier League this season.

Anzhi haven't won this season and are bottom of the table.

He should almost certainly have suitors in January, and Anzhi will no doubt be willing sellers once again.

Stephan El Shaarawy

Italian starlet Stephan El Shaarawy is currently sidelined through injury, but there have already been rumours about him departing AC Milan in January.

Dave Kidd of the Mirror reports that Spurs are interested in signing him.

Under a long-term contract, the wide forward would doubtless be an extremely expensive addition, but Spurs barely had any outlay at all during the summer thanks to their world-record sale of Gareth Bale.

Mohamed Salah

Egyptian winger Mo Salah was showcasing his skills in the Europa League last season, but this term he has stepped up with histeam, Basel, into the Champions League.

At 21 years of age he has great pace and technique. He does not lack for confidence.

He needs work on his end product when in good positions in the box perhaps, but he has plenty of potential to make the step up to a more competitive league than the Swiss top flight.

There will be plenty of sides eager to take his signature in January. Basel might be willing to accept a bid if they fail to make the knockout stages of the Champions League—a tough ask, with Chelsea and Schalke in their group.

Cristian Tello

David Ramos/Getty Images

Barcelona forward Cristian Tello was thought to be a candidate to exit the Camp Nou last summer before eventually remaining at the club under new boss Gerardo Martino.

While


a regular in the match-day squad, Tello is very much a cover player right now, predominantly for new arrival Neymar. He is unlikely to get more than a handful of starts for Barcelona between now and January.

A half-season loan where he gets to start and play 90 minutes regularly could do him a world of good.

Blaise Matuidi

Clive Rose/Getty Images

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Blaise Matuidi is a regular starter and important member of the team for the reigning Ligue 1 champions, so he's not necessarily a player you'd immediately consider a candidate for an early move.

However, with his contract up at the end of the season and no new deal yet, PSG may opt to sell him in January. They don't need the money, but that doesn't mean they arehappy to let a French international walk on a free transfer either.

Matuidi would have plenty of admirers and could likely land a big contract.

Casemiro

21-year-old midfielder Casemiro has started this season with Real Madrid, but he has yet to really break into the first team.

He hasn't featured in the Champions League. After making three appearances off the bench in La Liga early in the season, he has not made an entrance in the last five games.

With Luka Modric, Sami Khedira and Xabi Alonso ahead of him in the centre of midfield, plus Isco and assorted other talents in the attacking roles who can drop into midfield, chances will likely continue to be limited for the Brazilian—especially once Illarra regains form and fitness.

Like Tello, Casemiro may benefit from a loan


spell away over the second half of the season.

Kim Young-Gwon

Chung Sung-Jun/Getty Images

Guangzhou Evergrande centre-back Kim Young-Gwon is making impressive progress in the Chinese Super League under the guidance of manager Marcello Lippi.

The Korea Republic international has just helped his side win the top flight, in fact. He will hope to cap a memorable season with victory in the AFC Champions League final, which Guangzhou will contest against FC Seoul in late October and early November.

Winning that trophy, coupled with helping his nation qualify for next summer's World Cup final in Brazil, could point to the perfect time for the 23-year-old to move to a bigger club on the world stage, perhaps to Europe.

B/R's Chris Atkins describes the defender as "calm in possession, an impressive distributor and a goodorganiser."

Leighton Baines

Julian Finney/Getty Images

Everton full-back Leighton Baines is a man in demand, despite the failure of Manchester United to complete his signing during the summer transfer window.

The left-back is recognised as one of the standout attacking full-backs in European football, noted for both his set-piece delivery and his ability to impact on his team's attack. He will likely fetch Everton above £12 million if they sell him in January.

It's likely he will remain in the Premier League, where he has many admirers. But both his price and the interest in him could soar considerably if he plays an important role in the upcoming World Cup qualifiers for England, where he is expected to deputise for the injured Ashley Cole.

Morgan Amalfitano

West Bromwich Albion signed Morgan Amalfitano on a season-long


loan during the summer, but his early performances have given rise to the idea of making that deal permanent sooner rather than later.

Steve Clarke, WBA's manager, has conceded that there is an option for the club to sign Amalfitano for £2 million, per ESPN. Considering his goals at the start of the season and his all-round play, that quickly looks like a bargain bit of business.

But Clarke will also wait to see if the French midfielder can sustain his good start over the longer term.

Even so, it would be a surprise to see them not conclude the deal by January.

Keisuke Honda

CSKA Moscow attacking midfielder Keisuke Honda is almost certain to move out of Russia in January 2014 after his contract with the Russian Premier League side comes toan end in December.

Capable of playing anywhere across the second line of attack, Honda's left foot, dribbling ability and penchant for spectacular goals make him an excellent free transfer option for many sides in Europe. Sky Sports reported that he has at least one Serie A side and "a host" of Premier League clubs looking to sign him.

Honda is a Japanese international with close to 50 caps, including featuring at the summer Confederations Cup and in several international friendlies since then, meaning a work permit should not be an issue if he moves to England.

Burak Yilmaz

One of last season's top scorers in the Champions League, Burak Yilmaz, was reportedly sought-after this summer after impressing with a huge goal haul of 32 strikes in 39 games last term.


most capable attacking midfielder.

Maxim gradually worked his way into the Stuttgart team last season after signing in January, but this term has quickly made him one of the team's most important players.

Playing in an advanced central role, Maxim has helped Stuttgart to a run of five games unbeaten, scoring three times and claiming four assists along the way. He ranks only behind Marco Reus for key passes per game at this point in the Bundesliga. He has already started to make his mark at the international level for Romania.

Another couple of months of this form and plenty of the bigger sides, in Germany and beyond, will be taking notice of the 23-year-old.

Proclaimed in the Synagogue

Proclaimed in the Synagogue

Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, means different things to different Jewish people. Traditional Jews hold the view that during the ten days between the Jewish New Year and the Day of Atonement record books in heaven are opened and everyone is judged according to their deeds and works. Those who have earned merit have their names inscribed in the Book of Life; those whose deeds deserve impending judgment are inscribed in the Book of Death. But as the shofar sounds and the Day of Atonement ends, most are inscribed in a third book, where judgment is reserved until the next High Holiday season. Today, however, most Jewish people are less traditional and regard Yom Kippur and the ten days before itfull. The huge marble pillars loomed high above the masses of worshipers. Some had to stand in the back, and many were turned away because they had not made their reservations to worship in the morning service. Huge stained glass windows adorned this Reform synagogue, and the great pipes of the organ resounded with the traditional Avinu Malkeinu (Our Father Our King”). My father had come in late that day and sat apart from the rest of the family.

The cantor concluded the Avinu Malkeinu, and the dramatic pause following that inspiring prayer of repentance was suddenly shattered by a shout: “Repent, for the day of judgment is at hand!”

Shocked, I turned to see that it had come from my own mother, standing in the congregation. Silently I swallowed

To use the garment, the garment is attached, for example, to the foot typically by straps. Specifically, the straps may be attached with hook-and-loop fasteners for easy attachment and removal of the garment to the body part. For many such garments, the straps are wrapped around the dorsum of the foot and around the heel. Unfortunately, the straps on such conventional garments, as well as the garments themselves, are sized and shaped for universal application. As a result, the straps on conventional garments typically provide limited adjustment of the various components on the garment for customizing the fit of the garment during use.On the morning of November 9, 2011, thousands of students, faculty, staff, and community members gathered for a noontime rally in Sproul Plaza. Protestors voiced their opposition to a variety of issues including recent tuition increases and state cuts to public education, and their support for the Occupy movement, which began in New York City a few months prior. In the early afternoon, hundreds of protestors convened a “General Assembly,” in which they voted to set up tents near Sproul Hall. The first tents to be erected in the grassy area near Sproul Hall were quickly removed by campus police without incident.

Two later incidents in this same area, however, one in the mid-afternoon and one at night, involved the use of force by police against large numbers of


protesters. Around 3 p.m., another set of tents was erected. In an effort to remove the tents, the police used batons and other means of force to move protestors that were locking arms and blocking access to the tents. After tense interaction with protesters, the police removed this second set of tents and withdrew to their command post in the basement of Sproul Hall. During this period, six individuals were arrested and more were injured and in some instances handled roughly.

Later, another set of tents was erected in the same area. Around 9:30 p.m. the police again used batons and other means of force against protesters to obtain access to and remove the tents. During this period, thirty-two individuals were arrested and more were injured or handled roughly.area around the tents, making it difficult to gain access to the tents. Video shows that officers, again in normal uniforms, attempted to reach the tents from a position along the north and east sides of the Corner, but there were too many protestors, and the police instead withdrew to UCPD headquarters in the basement of Sproul Hall. The tents soon spread to cover the northeastern portion of the Corner (point B, Appendix A). The protestors filled nearly the entire area around the tents, blocking access along the hedges to the north, from the base of Mario Savio Steps to the south, and Sproul Plaza to the west and south (yellow area, Appendix A).

Around this time, the UCPD issued at least three warnings to the crowd. Two were


issued from the north of the protestors, near the tree at the far northwest end Sproul Hall (near point C, Appendix A). One warning was given with a bullhorn, and declared that the gathering was an “unlawful assembly.” The officer said, “I demand all those at this location to immediately disperse.” The same officer also gave the second warning from the north. He first attempted the announcement with a bullhorn, but, because he was drowned out by the crowd, the protestors encouraged the officer to use the “human microphone,” in which his statements would be repeated by the crowd. He agreed and stated the following: “Please be advised that camping on UC property is illegal. Please remove your tents now.” Because this announcement was amplified by the humanGM: Packers ready to pay Rodgers

Gutekunst says team would like to work on extension

INDIANAPOLIS — Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said that the team would like to extend the contract of quarterback Aaron Rodgers “sooner rather than later.”

Gutekunst was asked about the two-time NFL MVP on Wednesday at the combine. He said that the team realizes it’s “not going to be inexpensive.”

Rodgers is under contract through the 2019 season following a five-year extension signed in 2013 that boosted his annual average salary to $22 million, making him the highest-paid player in the league back then.

The 34-year-old Rodgers has since been passed by other players, including the five-year deal worth a reported $137.5 million that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo agreed to with the San Francisco 49ers.

Gutekunst said that


A total of 1,800 Mexican National Guard personnel will deploy to Sonora starting July 1 to help fight the escalating violence attributed cartel and gang turf wars. The state primarily abuts Arizona.

Sonora is seeing a spike in cartel violence involving armed confrontations between criminal gangs, kidnappings, and attacks of police officers. In 2019, a total of 10 officers have been gunned down throughout the state–nearly matching the tally of 11 in 2018, according to local reports.

The deployment of additional personnel was announced at a press conference by National Public Security Secretary Alfonso Durazo Montaño and the Comandante of the National Guard, Luis Rodríguez Bucio.

The 1,800 personnel will be distributed throughout four regions with 450 assigned to each. The capital city of Hermosillo was selected as the headquarters forthe construction of one of five forensic centers as well.

The municipality of Cajeme (Ciudad Obregón) will receive 300 personnel, due to it being considered the most violent, say local reports. Hermosillo will receive 150 of the additional personnel.

According to Comandante Luis Rodríguez Bucio, the role of the guard will be to supplement and not replace the state and municipal police, in addition to the permanently based Army and Navy personnel in the region.

During the first five months of 2019, Sonora saw a 25 percent increase in homicides compared to 2018, according to statistics compiled by Secretariado Ejecutivo del Sistema Nacional de Seguridad Pública and reported by local media.

Breitbart News previously reported on the ongoing cartel violence in Sonora. Earlier this week, Cajeme broke its record for most homicides
