Steelworkers Reach Agreements With Two Renfrew County Employers

PEMBROKE, Ont. – New settlements for workers at two Renfrew County employers will mean a more secure future in 2017, says the United Steelworkers union (USW).

Employees at Pemco Inc. have negotiated an agreement that includes a new, union-trusteed multi-employer pension plan, improved wages, vacation and benefits. Workers at Pemco make steel components for the home construction industry. The agreement is in place until 2019.

At Samuel, Son and Co., workers have also negotiated a three-year agreement, which includes an improved registered pension plan, a new, short-term-disability plan, wage increases and benefits. The steel service facility is a distribution centre for the region.

“These agreements for our members contribute to making Renfrew County a good place to work and raise a family,” said Martymiles of the border open in the desert areas to the east, but here the distances are so great, and the conditions so brutal, that it is harder to evade patrols and there are fewer crossings” (1384).

In 1990, op die grens met Irak, “Kuwait … constructed, literally, a line in the sand … A 6-mile deep barrier consisting of three parallel sand berms arose along the entire length of the border. Parts were topped with barbed wire and had tank ditches in front of them” (1391). “A 135-mile-long fence has since been erected from the Iraqi border town of Umm Qasr along to the joint border triangle where Iraq, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia meet. Like so many other countries in the Middle East, Kuwait is trying to guard


keep people out, and those within to keep people down” (1917).

“There’s a wall at the top of Africa. It’s a wall of sand, of shame and of silence. The Moroccan Wall runs for 1 700 miles through Western Sahara and into parts of Morocco. The whole construction separates what Morocco terms its Southern Provinces along the Atlantic coast from the Free Zone in the desert interior – an area the Sahrawi people call the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. It is built of sand piled almost 7 feet high, with a backing trench and millions of landmines stretching several miles into the desert on each side of the barrier. It is thought to be the longest continuous minefield in the world. Every three miles or so there is aMoroccan Army outpost containing up to forty troops, some of whom patrol the spaces between the bases, while two and a half miles back from each major post are rapid-reaction mobile units, and behind those artillery bases. The length of the wall is also dotted with radar masts which can ‘see’ up to 50 miles into the Free Zone. All this is intended to keep fighters from the Sahrawi military force, called the Polisario Front (PF), well away from the wall and the areas Morocco considers its territory” (1941).

Russian President Vladimir Putin (left), Defense Minister Sergey Ivanov (center) head of the Main Intelligence Department of the General Staff of the Russian Army Gen. Valentin Korabelnikov visit the intelligence department's new headquarters.

Russian President Vladimir Putinlanded on the roof of the new headquarters of the Main Intelligence Department of the General Staff of the Russian Army (Russian abbreviation GRU) yesterday. Kommersant special correspondent Andrey Kolesnikov has the details.

The bright, spacious building of concrete and glass is apparently what Russian military intelligence has been lacking all these years to look good at home and abroad. Otherwise, supreme commander Putin would not have signed the order three and a half years ago to build the new building in place of what had lightheartedly been called “the aquarium” for years.

The constructionof the new GRU headquarters set the federal budget back 9.5 billion rubles and was carried out with three and a half years of such enthusiasm that it would have put last century's Komsomol construction projects to shame. Its cost cannot be called grandiose either when you see the finished product. From many of the hallways, the concrete-panel housing that surrounds it can be seen. But all office windows look down on the courtyard, where there is a covered garden, fountain and wooden bridge over a stream. The fitness center and swimming pool on the building's first floor are simply intimidating.

The building holds a plethora of high-cost secrets. Nonetheless, if I am not mistaken, most of the funds budgeted to it went on the fence that surrounds it.


The wall can, its builders promise, withstand a tank. It might be interesting to find out what tank builders say about the wall, however.

The president was the first to test the new headquarters' soundness. He landed on its roof in an Army helicopter. Then he examined every nook and cranny of the building. I think he just didn't want to leave it. He spent the most time firing various types of pistols in the shooting range. They say he's a good shot. He spent much less time in the situational center. When we were there half an hour ahead of him, GRU personnel shared information with us surprisingly readily. When asked what situations the situational center was meant for, they said practically any situation at all.

“Did you followof Russia stars on his uniform and were as impressive as the stories they told. They had the manners of nobility. They would not hesitate a second to let a lady go first (after open the door for her with their electronic key). It comes automatically to them, just as they cover their mouths when they yawn or cough. There really was the impression that those people had spent many years in an aquarium.

Defense Minister Sergey Ivanov announced as he entered the building that he had been in the headquarters of many intelligence services around the world, and his foreign colleagues have every right to come to this one as well, “but no farther than the lobby and cafe.”

I hope that he meant that that was an adequate


response to his reception in the foreign agencies.

Ivanov reported that the building, frame and finish, was made out of predominantly domestic materials. Half an hour earlier, head of the Defense Ministry's Special Constructions Department told us that the headquarters were packed with complex and unusual equipment, giving the impression that it was the ideal “smart” house that the designers of expensive living space strive to create.

“Didn't Microsoft have anything to do with it?” a doubting journalist asked.

Medvedev was standing to the side, along with chief of the presidential staff Sergey Sobyanin, FSB director Nikolay Patrushev and Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov, as if in acknowledgment of the fact that today he was not the center of attention. I wondered if they had thought about the children's neurological center thatcould have been built under the national health project with the same money in the same building.

It only then became clear to me that a parallel national project had been unfolding at a breakneck pace in the middle of Moscow and was being presented to the president in finished form.

Putin congratulated the building's workers on National Military Intelligence Day, which is traditionally celebrated on November 5” told them that they were meeting their professional holiday in “a unique facility that fully meets the department's specific needs.”

“This meeting here today was planned long ago, in 2001,” the president said, “when I first visited the headquarters of the GRU as head of state. Then I pointed out to the defense minister and head of the GRU that content and form

Chintz was originally glazed calico textiles, initially specifically those imported from India, printed with designs featuring flowers and other patterns in different colours, typically on a light plain background. Since the 19th century the term has also been used for the style of floral decoration developed in those calico textiles, but then used more widely, for example on chintzware pottery and wallpaper. Chintz designs are mostly European patterns loosely derived from the style of Indian designs themselves reflecting, via Mughal art, decorative traditions in Islamic art such as the arabesque. Unglazed calico is called "cretonne". The word calico isEnglish literature.

“I grew up in the 80s watching shuttle launches, but always used to think that space travel was just for the Americans,” Ms. Rigby said. “When the opportunity came up I had to put my name forward.”

Ms. Rigby filmed a speech she rehearsed multiple times to apply for the Mars One mission; throughout the video, she stressed how this mission will benefit all mankind. She underwent a medical exam and was then interviewed for 15 minutes. During the interview she was questioned onis in Orange County, California, where it owns a large tract of land and is engaged in the business of raising, harvesting, preparing for market and selling horticultural and agricultural products. During 1935, some of plaintiff's products were marketed in California, but the greater portion thereof was marketed outside of the state in the following manner:
 (1) Citrus fruits, avocados and walnuts were sold by plaintiff under marketing agreements with various local nonprofit cooperative marketing associations of which plaintiff was a member or stockholder. Pursuant to those agreements, plaintiff delivered the fruit to local associations which cleaned, graded, packed and shipped the same to marketing centers or points outside the state. Citrus fruit was shipped from the associations' packing houses in California to other states or foreign countries


from plaintiff or the associations. Proceeds from such sales were collected by the brokers or employees, who, after deducting freight, storage, sales, insurance, taxes and other expenses, including brokerage fees or commissions, transmitted the balance to the exchange. Thereafter in the ordinary course of business plaintiff received from the local associations its pro rata share of the proceeds less its pro rata share of expenses. Walnuts were handled in a somewhat similar manner, being consigned to the California Walnut Growers Association, stored in warehouses in its name, and later withdrawn and sold exclusively at private sales by independent brokers engaged by it on a commission basis. Avocados were marketed in a slightly different manner in that after arrival at their destination they were stored in warehouses in theA portion of plaintiff's bean crop and other vegetables were prepared for market and shipped by plaintiff to points outside California consigned to purchasers on bills of lading with sight drafts attached. Proceeds from such sales were forwarded to plaintiff by collecting banks.
 In July, 1935, plaintiff filed a franchise tax return and paid to the state a tax measured by its total statutory net income for the year. In 1937, it filed a claim for refund on the ground that it had done business outside as well as within California *163 during 1935 and, accordingly, its tax should have been measured only by that portion of net income reasonably attributable to business done within the state. Plaintiff's claim was rejected, whereupon the present action was commenced. The


It did not do any business in other states. The sales in various places did not constitute doing business in those places by the agent or by plaintiff within the meaning of the taxing statute. In those instances in which the cooperative had agents in other states as distinguished from independent brokers, who were engaged in selling the products delivered to the cooperative, it is vital to note that these agents had no places of business in the other states and were in no different category from soliciting or selling agents operating outside of California. The activity of such agents, assuming they were also the agents of plaintiff, did not constitute doing business in those states within the meaning of the tax statute. In Montag Bros. v.

They are likewise mutually dependent and exist only for their cooperative members, who in turn exist only for their member producers. Both are strictly nonprofit. Both belong to the producer who has a voice in and directs the affairs of the cooperative marketing association and through it the cooperative distributing agency. The fallacy in the majority's conclusion that the plaintiff's activity ceases when it delivers produce to the cooperative marketing association lies in the statement that the plaintiff does not determine the manner, place, or time of sale, nor the prices and quantities of produce sold. On the contrary, as a member of the cooperative marketing *172 association,


Montpellier sorry for misspelled name on club badge

Montpellier have already been wearing the faulty design in Ligue 1 this season

Montpellier have apologised for a typo in their club name on all official shirts this season, including their players'.

The Ligue 1 side needed to be alerted to the mistake by their own fans, who complained after buying the jersey only to discover the club's badge read 'Montpelier' rather than 'Montpellier'.

Supporters called for their money back on purchased shirts, and the club have now issued a formal apology and offered supporters the chance to exchange their faulty products.

Montpellier have mistakenly worn 'Montpelier' on their badge in the new Ligue 1 campaign

"Montpellier has indeed been the victim of a logo error on a series of shirts put on sale," the clubMichael Evans, and Dick Boskofsky were living in Erdman's Trailer Park in Kodiak. Evans and Boskofsky lived in the trailer next door to Palmer's trailer. Palmer and Evans had known each other for a number of years and were generally friends. On the day in question, Palmer and his girlfriend, Peggy Sue Cupp, had had a disagreement and Palmer went to Boskofsky's trailer looking for Cupp. It appears that Boskofsky became angry because Palmer was making noise outside of his trailer. Boskofsky ordered Palmer to leave the premises and apparently struck Palmer at least once. Thereafter, Palmer returned to Boskofsky's and Evans' trailer to speak to Cupp. Palmer pounded on the door and window of the trailer in an attempt to gain admission. Boskofsky again told Palmer to


go away.
A few moments later, Boskofsky followed Palmer to Palmer's trailer. A short time after Boskofsky left, Evans also walked over to Palmer's trailer. It appears that Boskofsky and Evans went to Palmer's residence uninvited, but there was no evidence that Palmer specifically ordered either man to leave. Evans testified that when he arrived, Boskofsky and Palmer were arguing. According to Evans, Boskofsky was shaking Palmer and may have been "backhanding" him. Evans listened to the argument between Palmer and Boskofsky, but did not participate. After a few minutes, the argument ended and Boskofsky turned to leave. Evans made some comments to Palmer and then began to follow Boskofsky out the door. As Boskofsky was walking out the door, he heard the sound of metal scraping on metal.He turned around and saw Palmer stabbing Evans with a large knife. It appears that Palmer stabbed Evans three times on his left side. One wound was in the shoulder area, another was in the lower torso area, and the third was in the hip area. Evans was bleeding badly. Boskofsky assisted him back to their trailer and then called the police.
It appears to be undisputed that Palmer's stabbing of Evans constituted the use of deadly force. Palmer requested an instruction informing the jury that a person may use "deadly force upon another when and to the extent the person reasonably believes it is necessary to terminate what the person reasonably believes to be a burglary in any degree occurring in an occupied dwelling or building."

"Parkinson was the son of a mill worker from the industrial north of England, and became an architect almost by accident. He leaves school at 13, he has a bunch of different menial jobs, he becomes an apprentice to a local builder. He comes to North America, gets a job in Napa as a foreman in a sawmill. Its here, working on plans for his own house, that his landlord sees those plans and says, 'You can design an addition to the Bank of Napa.' Right there and then an architect is born.

On Parkinson's move to Los Angeles:
"He moves to the Los Angeles in 1894, and the population is just over 50,000 people. You've got a small downtown, you've got a number of two-


or four-story structures in the business district. What's significant about Los Angeles is what it lacks in structure and what it lacks in population, it makes up for in ambition. LA has the ambition to become the greatest city on Earth, so Parkinson is really the right man in the right place at the right time."

On designing LA's first skyscraper in 1902:
"Just imagine, John Parkinson arrives here in 1894, in 1902 he begins work on the city's first skyscraper, over a million bricks go into this building, it's 12 stories tall, it literally stops traffic on 4th and Spring Street. Until the Los Angeles City Hall that we now know opens, it becomes really the defining structure in Los Angeles."

On designing the LA Memorial Coliseum:
"There's no bolder statementbut for some reason in Los Angeles, here I an writing the first book about the guy who is arguably the greatest architect in the history of the city, which to me is crazy."

On where in the city is the best spot to see examples of Parkinson's work:

So if you want an immediate introduction to Parkinson you can see 12, maybe 14 just from that corner. The heart of the city really belongs to John Parkinson."


Analysis: Bolling's Exit Sets Up 'Clash Of The Titans'

By: WAMU Staff
November 28, 2012

comments

Virginia's Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling is dropping out of his bid for the Republican nomination in the 2013 governor's race, saying the Virginia GOP's nominating switch from a primary election to a convention places him at too great a disadvantage. Bolling's decision appears to leave State Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli with a clear path to the Republican nomination. Meanwhile, former national Democratic party chairman Terry McAuliffe has said he will run, while Sen. Mark Warner announced last week he will not seek another term as governor.

Reid Wilson, editor-in-chief of National Journal Hotline, talks with WAMU's Morning Edition host Matt McCleskey about these latest developments in the governor's race. Here are some highlights:

Initial reaction to Bolling's decision:"This is sort of bowing to the inevitable. The Virginia Republicans will choose a nominee through a convention process rather than a primary and Bolling's calculation was always that he would do better in a primary which has a larger pool of voters than in a convention process which woudl facor a conservative stalwart like Cuccinelli," Wilson says. "It looks like now he would not be able to win over those delegates at the convention, so he's … dropping out."

What this means for the race as it stands now: "It leaves a battle of the titans. Ken Cuccinelli is a hero of the right and Terry McAuliffe is somebody who's been involved in party fundraising for the better part of two decades and is now taking his second


bid for the Virginia governorship," Wilson says. "Both are going to be able to draw on such huge wellsprings of support from their respective bases."

How Republicans could bounce back after huge losses in Virginia in 2012: "Well, the electorate in 2013 is going to look a lot different than the electorate in 2012. Consider just the last two major elections we've had. In 2012, with the presidential contest, white voters, who are predisposed toward Republicans, made up 70 percent of the electorate. Back in 2006 however, the last off-year election that we've got exit poling for, white voters made up 78 percent of the electorate," Wilson says. "A less diverse electorate favors the Republican party, so we're going to see a bit of a scramble here on thestill putting out "hot spots," Long said.

Consolidated Edison President Craig Ivey told reporters at the scene that the company had workers at the building approximately one hour before the blast. They were conducting an inspection of a new gas meter that was being installed inside the building.

"The new installation did not pass our inspection at that time, meaning it wasn't ready for gas to be introduced," Ivey said.

The explosion comes one year after a gas-related blast leveled two buildings in East Harlem and left eight people dead. The March 2014 explosion occurred shortly after someone called the utility company to report a gas odor outside one of the buildings. The caller said the smell had also been present the night before.

the scene of the Harlem blast after the call was made, but it did not arrive in time.

In Thursday's explosion, De Blasio said a review of calls to Con Ed and 911 showed no one had called to complain of a gas odor in the East Village.

As of late afternoon, a New York Fire Department spokeswoman said that the building at 123 2nd Ave. had collapsed and that a fire was still burning at the building next door, which had been undergoing the plumbing and gas work. De Blasio said four buildings had been damaged in all.

Two of the people injured critically were taken to Bellevue Hospital, the Fire Department spokeswoman said. Among the other injured, five were being treated for non-life-threatening injuries at Mount Sinai Beth Israel,said David Slotnick, a spokesman for the hospital.

De Blasio said at an evening news conference that there were three people in critical condition; the Fire Department put the number at four.

Firefighters initially received reports of a building collapse around 3 p.m., according to the Fire Department. Images on social media showed a large smoke cloud and flames billowing from inside the structure's frame and from the roof.

Smoke was creeping into buildings throughout the area and obscuring views of the skyline, said Andrew Scott Taylor, who works for a public relations firm at 8th Avenue and 37th Street.

"We had a window that was really just about a sliver open in our conference room, and before you knew it the smell of smoke was everywhere. It was very potent," he


told the Los Angeles Times.

The smoke was so thick, Taylor said, that the One World Trade Center tower was barely visible from the windows of his high-rise office building.

“Any time you see smoke, an obscene amount of smoke rising out of the skyline, it’s bound to be a little jarring,” he said.

About 250 firefighters battled the blaze, a department spokesman said.

The New York Police Department released aerial photographs of the scene.

Almost immediately after the fire began, images began to flood social media.

Kidambi Srikanth reached a career-best ranking of world No.2 after a sensational run so far this year. The latest BWF rankings were released on Thursday.

Up until November 2, Srikanth's career-high rank was world No.3 which he achieved in 2015 and then in 2017 after he beat Lee Hyun Il of Korea 21-10, 21-5 to win his maiden Denmark Open Super Series Premier.

On October 22, Srikanth beat Japan's Kenta Nishimoto 21-14, 21-13 to win the French Open Super Series .

With the titles in France and Denmark, Srikanth became only the second shuttler to win back-to-back Super Series titles in a calendar year, having wonthe Indonesia Open Super Series Premier and Australian Open Super Series consecutively in June.

Not just that, Srikanth became the only Indian and the fourth man to win four Super Series titles in a calendar year.

Srikanth has had a brilliant year and on Thursday, he was also awarded with Rs 2 crores by the Andhra Pradesh government. Earlier, the Badminton Association of India had also announced a cash reward of Rs 5 lakh for him.

On Wednesday, Srikanth was also recommended for the Padma Shri by the former Sports Minister Vijay Goel.

While Srikanth is receiving all the plaudits for his winning streak, his compatriot HS Prannoy, who he beat in the semi-finals of the French Open, also reached his career-high world No.11.

On the other hand, Sameer Verma stayed at 18th while Ajay Jayaram dropped out of the top 20, stationed at world No.22, after injuries let him down.

In the women's singles ranking, PV Sindhu and Saina Nehwal maintained their rank of world No.2 and world No.11 respectively.

Michelle Murphy was another victim of America’s justice system gone wrong. Murphy, 38, from Oklahoma, found her son’s lifeless body on the kitchen floor of her home in 1994. The baby boy, just 15 weeks old, had been stabbed multiple times.

After hours of interrogations, Murphy was coerced into claiming she accidentally killed her baby when she knelt down to pick up a knife. In reality, an unknown male was responsible, according to DNA evidence.

The Innocence Project website declares Murphy confessed to the murder after hours of interrogation. Her false confession was not uncovered until 20 years later. In 2014, she was exonerated.

A Bronx school went into lockdown this morning after a campus aide overheard a student talking about his gun — a toy gun it turned out, officials said.

The lockdown was called off after an hour and no weapon was found at PS 4, on Fulton Avenue and East 174th Street, officials said.

A campus aide reported hearing a student say “something about a gun,” a law enforcement source said. School officials didn’t want to take any chances so they closed down campus, as heavily armed police swarmed PS 4 to search for that student.

The 12-year-old boy told police he was talking to a classmate about his toy Nerf gun, which he left at home, law enforcement sources said.

“There was a rumor that a student in one of the schoolsKentucky Coach John Calipari was blasted by several outlets last week for his ideas on changes to conference championship tournaments. Coach Cal proposed holding a pre-season or early season event in which each team was guaranteed a certain number of games in place of the end of season tournament.

Calipari was egregiously misrepresented in what he was proposing on several occasions.

More details regarding Florida sex trafficking case emerge

At least one of the victims in a human-trafficking case investigated by the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office was brought to an exotic dance club in Pinellas County, where she was forced to dance and perform sex acts, according to jail records.

The victim's name is not being printed due to the nature of the crime.

Corinna Daylene Shaffer, one of three suspects arrested Saturday in the case, drove the victim from Feb. 16 to 26 to the Vegas Showgirls Nightclub, 10570 Gandy Blvd., Shaffer's arrest affidavits say. There, the victim, under the fake name Lisa Leithead, was forced to dance and perform sex acts, the affidavits say.

Jail records say Shaffer, 24, works for Vegas Showgirls and goes by the name Lacy Dream. Attemptsto elicit a comment from the club were unsuccessful today. A News Channel 8 crew was run off the property today, and calls to the club's attorney were not consummated or returned.

Shaffer took whatever money the victim earned at Vegas Showgirls and gave it to Kenyatta Cornelous, 38, the affidavits say. Cornelous was also arrested Saturday. Shaffer acted as the victim's handler, watching her continuously so she wouldn't try to escape, the affidavits say.

The victim was also raped during the 10 days in February, the affidavits say, and was told she would be killed if she told anyone.

At a Glance A line of severe thunderstorms swept through the upper Midwest July 19 into early morning July 20.

This derecho produced wind damage over a path of almost 500 miles in 10 hours

Over 200,000 power outages were reported in MIchigan and Wisconsin.

Oppressively hot, humid air and an active jet stream were the culprits in this typical summer setup. A line of severe thunderstorms known as a derecho produced damaging winds across the upper Midwest Friday and early Saturday morning, downing numerous trees, damaging some homes, and knocking out powergeneral location of the derecho, as defined by the 2005 study from Ashley and Mote. (Storm reports: NWS-SPC)

The derecho first organized in central Minnesota between the Twin Cities and Duluth, dumping hail as large as baseballs in Pine City late Friday afternoon, smashing vehicle windshields on Interstate 35. Wind-driven hail reportedly flattened crops in the area. At least three buildings were damaged in the nearby town of West Rock, Minnesota.

A trained spotter recorded a wind gust up to 84 mph and sustained winds of 73 mph for five minutes in Cushing, Wisconsin as the developing squall line crossing into northwest Wisconsin.

Turtle Lake, Wisconsin, about 55 miles northeast of St. Paul, was particularly hard hit Friday evening. A roof was ripped off one business, siding partially torn off a


hotel and numerous trees were downed. Power was knocked out to many customers in Polk and Burnett counties as storms tore through.

Two barns, a garage and silo were reportedly downed and power poles were bent or snapped in Clark County, Wisconsin, and a well-constructed pole barn was destroyed in neighboring Marathon County.

Widespread tree damage has been reported across Langlade, Shawano, Portage, Outagamie, Kewaunee and Manitowoc Counties in eastern Wisconsin.

(MORE: Storm Impacts)

If the wind wasn't bad enough, a tornado touched down near Knowlton, Wisconsin, located roughly 50-55 miles west-northwest of Green Bay around 8:30 p.m. CDT, destroying a barn.

Trees were downed in Green Bay as the line of thunderstorms arrived late Friday evening.

The derecho then roared across Lake Michigan into Lower Michigan after midnight.

Numerous trees were downed in Lake,Wisconsin and Michigan.

In all, over 120 reports of strong thunderstorm winds or wind damage were compiled by the National Weather Service from the derecho.

As of sunrise on July 20, just over 272,000 customers were without power in Michigan and Wisconsin from the storm, according to an estimate from poweroutage.us.

These derechos have a notorious history in the upper Midwest.

One infamous derecho on July 4, 1977 , damaged or destroyed about 1 million acres of forest from northern Minnesota into northern Wisconsin.

This derecho was produced from a classic summer severe weather setup in the Midwest.

Oppressively hot, humid air was in place as far north as the upper Mississippi Valley, with temperatures reaching into the 90s and dew points, a measure of moisture, surging well into the 70s.

Back in June, SEPTA decided to officially call for the splitting of the heavily-trafficked Route 23 bus line.

That change will become effective at the end of the month. So how does this split affect commuters who use this bus line?

The Route 23 bus is essentially non-existent in South Philly now. Instead, the new Route 45 bus will service the area as far south as Broad and Oregon and will stop at the northernmost point at 11th and Noble in the Callowhill section of the city.

Previously, this bus route traveled from Chestnut Hill to Broad and Oregon. The Route 23 bus will still service the northernmost parts of the line, and will travel to 12th and Walnut in Center City.

Since the 23 line was previously expansive, some may findU.S. Army Brig. Gen. Todd R. Wasmund has been assigned to command France's Marseilles-based 3rd Armored Division as part of the first reciprocal exchange of general officers between the two armies.

Note: This article has been corrected.

U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Todd R. Wasmund has been assigned as deputy commander of France’s Marseilles-based 3rd Division as part of the first reciprocal exchange of general officers between the two countries’ armies.

Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley announced the assignment following the approval of the exchange last month. Wasmund, current deputy commanding general for support with the Fort Riley, Kan.-based 1st Infantry Division, will begin his assignment in early 2020, a statement said.

His counterpart, Brig. Gen. Hubert Cottereau of France’s land forces, recently visited Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield, Ga., where he


He has since returned to Fort Riley.

His upcoming rotation with the French army will be only the second general officer exchange for the Army, following the September 2015 establishment of a similar one with the United Kingdom, the Army statement said.

France is one of America’s oldest allies and the militaries of the two countries have long worked closely together, including in recent years battling terrorist groups and insurgents in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and parts of northern Africa.

Blow shared this morning, citing a report called

On Social Justice in the OECD.

The report summary states:

Poverty and the growing gap between rich and poor is a major problem in the OECD. Of the 31 countries examined, on average, 10.8 percent of the people are poor. This means they have to live with less than half the national median household income.

U.S.: 21.6 percent of children affected by poverty

Particular concern is the phenomenon of child poverty: on average about 12.3 percent of children live below the poverty line. Therefore, it lacks many places on the basic requirements of social justice and participation. The differences within the OECD is alarming: While in Denmark only 3.7 percent of children affected by poverty, the rate in the United States at alarming 21.6 percent(rank 28). Only Turkey, Chile and Mexico cut worse than the largest economy in the world.

Education needs to invest!

Many of the 31 participating OECD countries have significant deficits in the question of equitable educational opportunities. Again, it is the Northern European countries, Iceland, Finland, Sweden and Denmark, which are particularly successful in this respect also. The U.S. major economies (ranked 20), Britain (21) or Germany (22) land on the other hand only in the lower third of the rankings. Including school systems and increased investment in early childhood education are key tools to continue to provide more equal opportunities in education.

So the United States, according to this report, ranks next to Greece, Turkey, Mexico and Chile in terms of the percentage of children in poverty. Here is the

BEIRUT - In the first attack to target a campaign event, a mortar shell slammed into a tent packed with supporters of President Bashar Assad, killing 39 people and wounding 205 others, Syrian state


TV said Friday. The shelling underscored deep fears in government strongholds that rebels will escalate attacks in an attempt to disrupt the balloting.

Assad is expected to win a third, seven-year mandate in the vote scheduled for June 3, but the West and opposition activists have criticized it as a farce since it is taking place despite a raging civil war. The 49-year-old president has not made a public appearance in more than a month and was not at the gathering struck by the mortar shell late Thursday in the southern city of Daraa. But campaigning has begun in earnest, with supporters waving his pictures and Syrian flags during daily demonstrations in the capital, Damascus, the coastal city of Latakia and other government-held areas.

Many gatherings have been held inso-called "election tents" where nationalistic songs are played and supporters mingle.

State TV showed pictures of Assad supporters dancing in a campaign tent in Daraa. It then showed people lying dead and wounded on the ground, including several children. Its toll was the first provided by the government for the attack, which opposition activists earlier said killed 21.

Ahmad Masalma, an opposition activist in Daraa, said six such tents have been set up in the past week in the city. He said rebels from a faction of the Free Syrian Army umbrella group fired a single mortar shell at the tent in a government-held area, after repeatedly warning civilians to stay away. Daraa is divided into a rebel-held and a government-held sector.

Thieves in Darwin's rural area may have received a nasty surprise if the crocodile trap they were stealing had one of the predators inside.

Rangers are mystified by the bizarre incident, which likely saw perpetrators wading through croc-infested waters before making off with the unwieldy device.

The three-metre trap is part of the Government's crocodile management program and is regularly checked and re-baited.

But when rangers returned to check it last Sunday, the trap was missing.

Senior crocodile ranger Tom Nichols said it was likely stolen then dragged through bushland and private property some time in the preceding two days.

"The trap was set on pontoons in the water itself, so they would've had to enter the water and drag that particular trap out," he told ABC Radio Darwin's Jolene Laverty.

"It wasn't somethingwhich was just random. We believe that, obviously, someone intending to steal this trap has put a fair bit of effort into it.

"This was a pretty low act, and one thing we have the traps there for is public safety as there's a large number of crocs in that area, especially in the wet season."

Croc may have been inside trap when stolen

A 2.4-metre crocodile was removed from the location last month.

Crocodiles had also been sighted in the area in the days beforehand and Mr Nichols said he suspected there was one in the trap.

"The bloke who checks that particular area, he saw a croc the night before and he believes it went in there," he said.

"Even the way they dragged it out, it just looked like a crocodile

Entertainment attorney Louis C. Blau, who represented directors Stanley Kubrick and Francois Truffaut, Motown founder Berry Gordy and actors including Donald O’Connor, Mitzi Gaynor, Walter Matthau, Richard Widmark and Lana Turner, has died. He was 99.

Blau died in the Bel Air home where he and his wife lived for more than 60 years.

He was a senior partner at Loeb & Loeb for decades until his retirement in the late 1990s. Blau was Kubrick’s attorney for more than 40 years (the two are pictured together above). When a number of Italian actors arrived in Hollywood in the 1950s, he represented Alida Valli, Valentina Cortese, Rossano Brazzi and Pier Angeli. Other American actors he represented included Dan Duryea, Arlene Dahl, Fernando Lamas and Richard Basehart.

He repped authors as well, including“Roots” writer Alex Haley, Danielle Steel, Barbara Taylor Bradford, Alvin Toffler, Larry Gelbart and Barnaby Conrad.

Blau attended L.A. High School and later graduated from UCLA. He then worked his way through USC Law School with a job at Fox Studios as a night cashier.

When World War II broke out he enlisted in the Army Air Corps and became a pilot in the 404th Bomb Squadron stationed in the Aleutian Islands. He flew many missions over Japan and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. He was later stationed in Peru as air attache and spent many years in South America. He resumed his legal career at the end of the war.

One of the happiest moments for the staunch lifelong Democrat came when he read in an L.A. Times article


in 1973 that he was on Richard Nixon’s famous “enemies” list. His many philanthropic endeavors including his alma mater UCLA and the Music Center.

Biography

The original members of this vocal group from Harlem, New York, USA, were lead Richard Blandon, first tenor Billy Carlisle, tenor Cleveland Still, baritone James Jake Miller, and bass Thomas Gardner. They came together in 1957 and were an amalgamation of members of two previous groups. Blandon and Carlisle had previously been with the Five Wings who had recorded for King (notably Teardrops Are Falling), and Still, Miller and Gardner had come from the Scale-Tones, who had recorded for Jay-Dee. (Shortly after their first recordings, the Dubs replaced Gardner with former Five Wing Tommy Grate.) The Dubs never had any national hits, but several of their songs still resonate today as golden oldies, primarily because of their popularity on the east coast doo-wop scene. The group had

Iran Claims to Have Its Own Carrier Killer Missile

9 Feb 2011By John Reed

Speaking of carrier killers, Iran now claims to be developing its own fleet of anti-carrier ballistic missiles. Too bad they don't exactly sound like they can hold U.S. carriers at risk, since their range is about 185 miles.

From AFP:

Commander Mohammad Ali Jafari, who heads the elite military force, the Revolutionary Guards, said the missile had a range of 300 kilometres (185 miles).

"Iran is mass producing a smart ballistic missile for sea targets with a speed three times more than the speed of sound," Jafari was quoted as saying by state news agency IRNA.

He said the missile was "undetectable and can't be neutralised by enemies," without specifying the name. "It has very high precision in destroying targets,"In this Aug. 29, 2017 photo provided by Boston Childrens Hospital, Brian Rojas smiles while standing next to his brother Brandon at Boston Children's Hospital.

Shaye Saint John burst onto the YouTube scene in 2006, with short, usually 3-5 minute, works of absurdly beautiful bizarreness which achieved both epic horror status as well as absolute original comedic genius. Shaye garnered a relatively large following, most likely of which not knowing what in the hell to think of her, or him, or it. A DVD was created and put out by Indican Pictures in 2004. Apparently some festivals and curators had shown the work, but as usual, most experimental curators where asleep at the wheel having blindly passed up the amazing work of Shaye Saint John.

The character of Shaye consisted of other worldly, almost alien like qualities; talkng in an odd extraterrestrial like voice and looking like something between a crippled multiple amputee victimand a severely botched plastic surgery patient (a rough backstory had spread of Shaye being an ex model in a horrible car wreck left badly disfigured). Shaye rolled with her whatever condition and poised as some sort of starlet with entrepreneurial ventures such as skin tape sessions and drip drop diets. Her epic catch phrases (“gawd! gams! twenty four seven!”) were delivered in a way that was all Shaye; a language of her own, existing in a world of her own with her sometimes sidekick Kiki and (imaginary?) friends that she bantered with on the phone.

It appeared the Shaye action was taking place in Los Angeles as indicated by early street performances of Shaye being wheeled around in a wheelchair getting pictures taken with tourists in Hollywood. The

While discussing a particularly violent scene in his upcoming film about the Russian mafia, Eastern Promises, Cronenberg had this to say:

"Murder is a serious thing. I am taking it very seriously," Cronenberg told Reuters in an interview on the sidelines of the Toronto International Film Festival, where "Eastern Promises" had its premiere on Saturday night.

"I'm an atheist," Cronenberg said. "To me an act of murder is the act of total destruction, it's absolute. There's no comeback, there's no going to heaven, that's it. And it is very easy for that to be veiled or covered up, in a movie especially.

"To me it makes perfect legitimate, artistic and, if you push me, moral sense as well to do that this way."

In other words, murder should beScotland have swapped hotels for the second time during the Rugby World Cup, blaming a noisy wedding reception.

One Sunday after a few days of my arrival as a tourist in New Zealand, we ventured to visit Waiheke Island, a famous tourist island 17.7 km from Auckland. It is the most accessible island in that gulf with regular ferries coming to and from Auckland. It is also considered the 3rd most populated island in New Zealand next to the North and South Islands, with population of 93 people per square kilometer. There's a lot of activities we can do there, circle the island, visit the vineyards and winetasting, do swimming at Palm Beach, the museum, a lot of trekking paths, etc.

We purchased an online early bookings to cover more grounds, but we haven't decided yet the activities to do the whole day when207 SHARES Facebook Twitter

Mad As Hell: The Man Looking to Sell Wounded Knee

Vincent Schilling

4/30/13

James Czywczynski, the owner of the site of the Wounded Knee massacre, has stated publicly that he will wait until May 1 to entertain offers for the purchase of his land from the Oglala Sioux Tribe. He has said that once this deadline passes he will then consider other offers. He is seeking to sell the historic site and another parcel at Porcupine Butte as a package deal for no less than $4.9 million.

To date, the tribe has made no statement that they plan to buy the land. For the past month various reports on each new development of the sale have been closely followed by national and international news media. After Brandon Ecoffey, managing editor


of Native Sun News, broke the news that Czywczynski planned on selling this sacred and historic site, noted columnist Chuck Trimble pointed out that the land was originally purchased from the Gildersleeve family with the intent to build a monument and profit from a motel and restaurant tourism complex. The plans fell through when tribal opposition grew. (Related story: “Wounded Knee Massacre Site Not a Good Investment for Speculators”)

Now on the eve of the sale, Czywczynski spoke to ICTMN in an attempt to lay to rest any rumors about his wishes regarding the sale, and his family. In this Q&A he airs long-standing grievances, frustrations at being unable to secure a deal with the Oglala Sioux Tribe, and his account of the occupation of Wounded Knee in 1973.father bought the land and store in 1935, which included 40 acres of the national historical site of Wounded Knee. In 1968, I bought the property from the Gildersleeve’s which included the Trading Post Museum, a home, four cabins and museum artifacts. The 40 acres we bought included the ravine and the area where the massacre took place in 1890.

Did you move to Wounded Knee in 1968 in an attempt to have a profitable venture?

No, the reason we moved there is because we bought a trading post and the museum as well as four cabins, which were owned by the Gildersleeves. They were ready to retire. They inquired after people that they thought would be interested. They felt that I and my family with four children (I was

During the time when the two FBI agents were killed, one of other the guys that was killed was wearing my Navy pea coat, everyone was arrested, they went to Sioux Falls, South Dakota for trials and the government never convicted one person.

Were you or your family members taken hostage during the takeover?

No, AIM did take hostages, the Gildersleeve's were taken hostage and they were released. They were taken hostage for about 10 days. They took another hostage, who was a priest of the Catholic Church. The AIM peoplean expedition into the Dakota Territory to find a location at which to build a new fort. This expedition was led by Colonel George A. Custer and a very large contingent of the 7th Cavalry. Along with this troop was Lt. Colonel Frederick Grant (the president's son), gold miners, photographers and several newspaper reporters, pack trains, etc. On this expedition, gold was discovered.
This land belonged to the Sioux by treaty and the military was supposed to act as a policing force and keep miners off of this land - what in fact took place was that the expedition was sent into this area to find gold and when it was discovered and miners went in and this land was taken from the Indians.

Karpusenko had to return to Ukraine to arrange the funds, and while he was gone, he told Spriggs he’d contracted dengue fever, an infectious tropical disease.

It seemed plausible because “there seemed to be a bit of an epidemic" at the time in Trinidad, Spriggs said.

Karpusenko, who said he was from the city of Kherson, returned in late November to buy the 1968 Creekmore 11.5-metre winged keel fibreglass monohull cruiser.

poorer than optimum yields and also result in a waste of fertilizers. The wasted fertilizer not only is an added expense for the grower, but also exacerbates environmental issues that may arise from the later run-off of the excessive fertilizer due to rain or wind.
With the wide availability of global positioning system (GPS) satellite receivers today, the use of GPS information in soil sampling is rapidly increasing. Currently it is believed that approximately 15% of total farm acreage in the United States (roughly 640 million acres) uses GPS information in conjunction with soil sampling efforts. It is expected that GPS usage will increase to encompass approximately 28% of total farm acreage by 2005. The use of GPS in conjunction with manual soil sampling, however, only provides modest improvementstransparent to the operator.
The related art includes several attempts to develop soil sampling mechanisms that periodically sample soil over an area. U.S. Pat. No. 3,224,512 to Alexander teaches a soil sampler that is mounted on a trailer and powered by a hydraulic system. The device is intended to be pulled by a tractor around a field, and the motion of one of the vehicle wheels activates a piston and cam-drive arrangement in communication with the soil sampler's hydraulics. Since the sampling periodicity is driven by the motion of one of the wheels on the trailer, the device automatically samples soil at regular intervals, regardless of the speed of the tractor pulling the trailer. The device uses a sampling tube that is forced into the ground for sample collection.

Single Review: Carrie Underwood - "Blown Away"

Carrie Underwood's back in a big way with a soon to be Platinum fourth album called Blown Away and with that she's now released "Blown Away" to country radio. Read on to learn more about "Blown Away" and see what we think bout the song some are calling 'epic' and 'brave'.

That said, "Blown Away" finds her in territory that none of her prior singles have entered. It's far more pop than its predecessors, more grandiose, and far more risky. Like the gathering storm clouds she sings about, the production forms gradually throughout the first verse — synthesizer, pizzicato strings and chimes, then a wall of backing vocals, all building up to a soaring chorus. The overall thundrous production and echoed "blown away"sthroughout also aid greatly in the dark, stormy feel.

Taut, simple but effective lyrics convey the scene, easily one of the darkest storylines in any recent country song. A storm is brewing near an Oklahoma house, occupied by an abusive drunk father and his daughter. When a twister hits and kills said father, the daughter calls it "sweet revenge." Swept up in the wind are both the house (in the literal sense) and the painful memories of the past (in the metaphorical sense). For only two verses and a chorus, an incredible amount of detail and metaphor is packed in for maximum impact.

"Blown Away" is the kind of song that comes along so rarely. It has all the markings of a career song — one of those songs that


is remembered for years to come, like "The Dance." It's the kind of song that grabs hold of you from the first note and never lets go. It's the kind of song that makes itself known by sounding like absolutely nothing else on radio. It's the kind of song that provoked me to write a longer review than usual. I have rarely been this passionate about a single, but trust me on this one. "Blown Away" is a milestone song.True stories of God's encouragement in the life of two music ministers living on the road in a living quarters horse trailer with their two horses.

We drove onto the farm and made our way around the silo and haystacks. Distracted by an issue I couldn’t seem to find answers for, I stared out the window in silence.

As our horse-hay was loaded, I stepped out of the truck and chatted with the farmer’s wife. Her three-year-old granddaughter wandered over and plopped in the dirt at her feet. Suddenly the little girl zoomed in for my attention. Her bright blue eyes danced as she told me about all the ways she played

He started the Underground Wellness Podcast to give his ever growing viewership more information from a holistic and nutritional standpoint as well as up to date information about the best ways to exercise. This led Sean to write a book called “The Dark Side of Fat Loss”, starting the JERF(Just Eat Real Food) movement, and hosting online summits over various health topics with the world’s leading experts in those subjects.

As Sean grew, so did his ideas, and with an ever expanding business, he decided to start on a new career journey in the science of the mind. He was interested in seeing how others continued to expand with thepurchase electronics and other items at a Best Buy in San Diego, California.

The NRF said it would urge the Trump administration to "hold China accountable" but "recognize the unintended consequences of protectionist trade policies."

Just last month, Best Buy CEO Hubert Joly said he feared retaliation by China as Trump announced his plans to slap tariffs on steel and aluminum. The president previously approved tariffs on solar cells and certain washing machines.

Shortly after Trump's latest list of 1,300 goods was released, China on Wednesday morning threatened to implement its own tariffs on 106 U.S. products, including cars, planes, orange juice and soybeans. China's response sparked fears that a trade war involving the world's two largest economies could quickly escalate.

"We look forward to the opportunity to share our thoughts on


[President Trump's] proposed list of products and on how to make sure these measures do not inadvertently hurt millions of American families, students, small businesses, and schools by causing them to pay more for the consumer electronics they rely on every day," Best Buy said in a statement.

The Retail Industry Leaders Association is warning that tariffs could hit American households the hardest.

"Retailers fully support holding our trading partners accountable when there is a proven case of intellectual property theft, but we remain concerned that many of these proposed tariffs will punish American consumers," said Hun Quach, the group's vice president of international trade.

Trump's intent might be to target "Chinese technology violators," she said, but the tariffs would ultimately hike the cost of everyday items.

Even the physical boardwalk is more detailed. There's shades in the wood, knots and lines in it. Like it was a more finely crafted part of the dream.
