for the trial expired on August 9, 1981.[1] The first scheduled trial date was April 29, 1981, but this was postponed because of Calhoun's insanity plea and his mental examination at Clifton T. Perkins Hospital. The new trial date was August 4, 1981, which was five days before the expiration of the 180-day deadline prescribed by § 591 and Rule 746.
In late July 1981, upon the motion of Calhoun's codefendant and over Calhoun's objections, a severance was granted. On August 4, 1981, both Calhoun and his codefendant appeared ready for trial. The State chose to proceed with the trial of the codefendant on an unrelated matter, and the State suggested that "by necessity" Calhoun's trial "would have to be postponed." The court then addressed Calhoun's attorney, and thewithin the 180-day period shall be postponed "only with the permission of the administrative judge." Under the language of Rule 746, only "the county administrative judge or a judge designated by him may grant a change of trial date." Therefore, under both the statute and rule, what is necessary to postpone a trial date is a decision by the county administrative judge. Whether the county administrative judge does this in the form of "approving" a postponement tentatively granted by the trial judge, or by initially ordering the postponement, is immaterial; the essential action to effect the postponement is the order of the administrative judge. As discussed in State v. Frazier, supra, 298 Md. at 450, 470 A.2d 1269, "§ 591 and Rule 746 transfer the authority to postpone

Starting clerkships is anxiety provoking for medical students. To ease the transition from preclerkship to clerkship curricula, schools offer classroom-based courses which may not be the best model for preparing learners. Drawing from workplace learning theory, the authors developed a seven-day transitional clerkship (TC) in 2007 at the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine in which students spent half of the course in the hospital, learning routines and logistics of the wards along with their roles and responsibilities as members of ward teams. Twice, they admitted and followed a patient into the next day as part of a shadow team that had no patient-care responsibilities. Dedicated preceptors gave feedback on oral presentations and patient write-ups. Satisfaction with


the TC was higher than with the previous year's classroom-based course. TC students felt clearer about their roles and more confident in their abilities as third-year students compared with previous students. TC students continued to rate the transitional course highly after their first clinical rotation. Preceptors were enthusiastic about the course and expressed willingness to commit to future TC preceptorships. The transitional course models an approach to translating workplace learning theory into practice and demonstrates improved satisfaction, better understanding of roles, and increased confidence among new third-year students.Escaping Eritrea: Four boys with scars on their souls

27. October 2016

Ariam, Aaron, Samson and Abel have fled Eritrea to search for a better life in Europe. Their journey from Eastern Africa to Germany, where they have finally found shelter, has clearly left marks on the young men’s souls, as some of them suffer from deep trauma. Their story shows, why leaving for a life in Germany has been both a blessing and curse.

A thin layer of snow is covering the hills surrounding Waldhausen, a small village in Western Germany. The air is crisp, every breath visible. The streets are lined by old brick houses. Each one of them looking differently, but still the same. Waldhausen is the epitome of what a provincial German village would look like. This


place is now home of Aaron, Samson, Ariam and Abel* – four young men who made their way from Eritrea to Germany.

20-year-old Ariam opens the door with a friendly smile on his face. He is living with his younger brothers, Aaron (16) and Samson (18) and their friend Abel (24) in a small house. The boys were housed by an elderly German couple, who has been giving shelter to refugees for a couple of years now. While Ariam closes the door, the other boys are waiting in the living room. They introduce themselves, with a curious look on their faces. As they sit down the room becomes quiet. It’s a bit of an awkward silence.

Ariam, Aaron, Samson and Abel are from Adi Quala, a village close to thefloor. A big dumbbell is laying in the corner. “Sometimes I do a little work out with it”, Aaron says and chuckles shyly. A bed, a cupboard and a desk. The small window on the sloping roof gives a view on the snowy hills and the coniferous forests of the Sauerland-region. This place is peaceful and quiet. “I like this room”, says Aaron. Back home in Eritrea he would share his room with the rest of the family. He heads back to the living room where the other boys are waiting.

Ariam, Samson and Abel have gathered around a framed photo. Aaron joins the boys. He points on the photo. “This is my dear mother, my father and my siblings”, he says. The boys stare at the faces of


of my belongings. The only memory we have now is this photo”, Ariam says and points to the framed picture. Meanwhile Daniel takes out his phone and searches for an Eritrean Gospel song on Youtube. As he presses the play-button s pixelated video starts flickering on his phone’s scratched display. After a couple of seconds the boys quietly start to join the chanting, clapping their hands and listening to the song till the end.

Finally being settled and living in Germany has been both a blessing and curse for the family. The boys are lucky to have escaped the Eritrean system of forced labour and have been fortunate to have found shelter in a comfortable place instead of an overcrowded refugee-camp. At the same time, they have to livewells on the property have indicated the water supply from the Wickersham would meet the city’s needs. Work has already begun on portions of the water main, while a contract for construction of the tower is expected to be awarded by the end of the year.

2 Washington Street Water Treatment Plant/Sewer Pumping Station

COST $4 million

COMPLETION TARGETED late 2014

THE DETAILS

The city’s water treatment plant and sewer pumping station off Washington Street, both just south of the Mispillion River, are in need of major upgrades.

The sewer pumping station upgrade was approved by voters as a part of a 2008 bond referendum. The state also approved a $4 million, low-interest loan for the water treatment plant project last year.

The water treatment plant is more than 60 years old while the sewer


pumping station dates back more than 35 years. Both have reached the end of their useful life and require costly repairs to maintain.

As part of the water treatment plant replacement, the city also plans to demolish the existing building a 5 S. Washington Street to construct a new administration and billing office for the Milford Water and Wastewater Departments. The Greater Milford Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Milford Inc. vacated the city-owned building in September.

Page 2 of 4 - THE PROGRESS

Both projects were awaiting the completion of the Washington Street Bridge replacement project, which wrapped up December.

On Monday, City Council awarded a $762,400 contract to Bearing Construction of Sudlersville, Md., to complete the sewer pump station upgrades. Contracts for the demolition of 5 S. Washington St. and theexisting water treatment plant are expected to be awarded in the coming months, however those steps have been delayed by the recent discovery of a 100-year-old dump site on the property.

City officials are currently trying to determine how much it would cost to remove about 8 feet of soil and whether that added expense will make plans for a new Water and Wastewater office cost-prohibitive. Carmean said he is investigating whether to relocate the administration and billing offices to the current PNC Bank on South Walnut St. after the branch is closed in April.

3 New Milford Police Station

COST $9 million

COMPLETION TARGETED 2016

THE DETAILS

The Milford Police Department headquarters in the Richard Carmean Building on Northeast Front Street was built in 1979 with capacity for 24 officers. The department currently

1 Milford Memorial Hospital Expansion

COST $200 million

COMPLETION TARGETED 2017

THE DETAILS

Bayhealth is planning to build a new, 300,000-square-foot hospital to replace the existing 75-year-old Milford Memorial Hospital on West Clarke Avenue.

The new full-service hospital is expected to include state-of-the art inpatient and ambulatory care capabilities, as well as units including emergency services, intensive care, surgical, diagnostic and imaging, inpatient dialysis, OB/GYN and inpatient rehabilitation.

THE PROGRESS

Last August, Bayhealth chose Philadelphia-based EwingCole to design the new facility. Those drawings are expected to be unveiled early next year.

No start date for the project has been announced.

2 Milford Solar Farm

COST $50 million

COMPLETION TARGETED Finished in late December

THE DETAILS

Delaware’s largest solar field came online off of Milford Harrington Highway just before Jan. 1

Owned by PSEG Solar Source, a subsidiary of the New4 - The district will move students in grades 6 through 8 to the Milford Central Academy and the ninth grade into the adjacent Milford High School, starting in the fall.

THE PROGRESS

No decision has been made about the future of the Middle School building.

District officials have said they are looking to partner with a community organization that might be willing to take over the building.

However, the demolition of all or a portion of the building have not been ruled out entirely.

School board president Patrick Emory said he expects the district to make a final decision by the end of the school year.


given the circumstances of the case, admitting Cafesjian's testimony in a criminal trial would violate the constitutional protection that gives criminal defendants the right to confront witnesses against them.

During the deposition in a civil case stemming from the alleged fraud, Waters -- representing himself -- questioned his ailing former boss. Otteson had argued that Waters had been given the opportunity to confront the witness, so there was no conflict with the Constitution.

Montgomery disagreed. She cited a precedent case in which the U.S. Supreme Court reversed the admission of prior testimony because the person doing the questioning -- who also represented himself -- lacked an attorney, and that meant the person did not have a "meaningful confrontation.

In August, Waters, 57, of Eden Prairie, was named in a 26-count federalindictment accusing him of mail and wire fraud, income tax evasion and filing a false income tax return.

The indictment doesn't say how much Waters allegedly took from his employer, but in a civil suit Cafesjian had filed against the man, he claimed Waters embezzled at least $2.8 million between 2004 and 2009.

The criminal complaint alleges improprieties between 1999 and March 2012.

Waters had gone to work for Cafesjian at West Publishing in 1994, two years before Cafesjian retired as an executive vice president. Cafesjian, a major shareholder in the company, was known in part for his philanthropy and civic work. In 1988, Cafesjian led the effort to save the merry-go-round at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds.

Cafesjian and others contributed more than $2 million to save the 1914 amusement. The 68-horse


ride was restored and renamed the Cafesjian Carousel. It is in a special pavilion at St. Paul's Como Park.

When Cafesjian retired, he hired Waters to manage his personal business affairs. Waters spent 13 years in that job.

By 2009, Cafesjian began to suspect Waters of financial misdeeds. But Waters filed a civil suit against his former boss, claiming he was owed millions in unpaid wages.

Cafesjian countersued, accusing Waters of embezzlement. A federal judge threw out Waters' original claim, leaving the countersuit, now on hold until the criminal case is resolved.A four-star admiral has recommended that the commanding officers of two ships involved in separate deadly collisions last summer should face court-martial, the Navy announced Tuesday.

In all, five officers and a chief petty officer have been recommended for possible criminal charges following the convening of a Consolidated Disposition Authority headed by Adm. Frank Caldwell, director of the Navy's nuclear propulsion program.

An additional eight sailors were identified for non-judicial punishment.

From the destroyer USS Fitzgerald, where seven sailors were killed in June when the ship collided with a Philippine-flagged container ship southwest of Tokyo, four officers have been identified for charges, including former commanding officer Cmdr. Bryce Benson, said Capt. Greg Hicks, Navy chief of information.

USNI News first reported the charge recommendations Tuesday.

In addition to Benson, two lieutenants and one


lieutenant junior grade have been recommended for discipline. The charges recommended against them include dereliction of duty, hazarding a vessel, and negligent homicide.

An investigation into the Fitzgerald collision, reviewed by Military.com, found that watchstanders were looking the wrong way as the ship entered a collision course with the container ship ACX Crystal. When the danger was finally identified, the officer of the deck froze, giving an order and then retracting it as danger rapidly approached.

The investigation also revealed that there had been a near-collision a month prior to the crash, but no actions were taken to prevent another such incident.

"The command leadership did not foster a culture of critical self-assessment," investigators found.

Benson was badly injured in the collision and ultimately had to be medically evacuated from the ship.

In the case of the destroyer USS John S. McCain, which collided with a Liberian-flagged tanker, Alnic MC, just east of the Straits of Malacca in August, Caldwell recommended the ship's former commanding officer, Cmdr. Alfredo Sanchez, face charges of dereliction of duty, hazarding a vessel, and negligent homicide. He also recommended that an unnamed chief petty officer face a charge of dereliction of duty.

An investigation into the McCain collision, released in November, revealed massive confusion on the bridge as the ship made an early morning passage through one of the busiest sea lanes in the world.

Sanchez was on the bridge, but had not summoned a sea-and-anchor detail to assist with the movement, according to the investigation.

analog computers were used for specialized military applications. During this time the first electronic digital computers were developed. Originally they were the size of a large room, consuming as much power as several hundred modern personal computers (PCs).[1]

Etymology

The first use of the word “computer” was recorded in 1613 in a book called “The yong mans gleanings” by English writer Richard Braithwait I haue read the truest computer of Times, and the best Arithmetician that euer breathed, and he reduceth thy dayes into a short number. It referred to a person who carried out calculations, or computations, and the word continued with the same meaning until the middle of the 20th century. From the end of the 19th century the word began to take on its more familiar meaning,according to certain rules, as an aid to calculating sums of money.

The Antikythera mechanism is believed to be the earliest mechanical analog "computer", according to Derek J. de Solla Price.[6] It was designed to calculate astronomical positions. It was discovered in 1901 in the Antikythera wreck off the Greek island of Antikythera, between Kythera and Crete, and has been dated to circa 100 BC. Devices of a level of complexity comparable to that of the Antikythera mechanism would not reappear until a thousand years later.

The sector, a calculating instrument used for solving problems in proportion, trigonometry, multiplication and division, and for various functions, such as squares and cube roots, was developed in the late 16th century and found application in gunnery, surveying and navigation.

The planimeter was a manual


instrument to calculate the area of a closed figure by tracing over it with a mechanical linkage.

A slide rule

The slide rule was invented around 1620–1630, shortly after the publication of the concept of the logarithm. It is a hand-operated analog computer for doing multiplication and division. As slide rule development progressed, added scales provided reciprocals, squares and square roots, cubes and cube roots, as well as transcendental functions such as logarithms and exponentials, circular and hyperbolic trigonometry and other functions. Aviation is one of the few fields where slide rules are still in widespread use, particularly for solving time–distance problems in light aircraft. To save space and for ease of reading, these are typically circular devices rather than the classic linear slide rule shape. A popular example isperform the integration. In 1876 Lord Kelvin had already discussed the possible construction of such calculators, but he had been stymied by the limited output torque of the ball-and-disk integrators.[15] In a differential analyzer, the output of one integrator drove the input of the next integrator, or a graphing output. The torque amplifier was the advance that allowed these machines to work. Starting in the 1920s, Vannevar Bush and others developed mechanical differential analyzers.

The machine was about a century ahead of its time. All the parts for his machine had to be made by hand - this was a major problem for a device with thousands of parts. Eventually, the project was dissolved with the decision of the British Government to cease funding. Babbage's failure to complete the


analytical engine can be chiefly attributed to difficulties not only of politics and financing, but also to his desire to develop an increasingly sophisticated computer and to move ahead faster than anyone else could follow. Nevertheless his son, Henry Babbage, completed a simplified version of the analytical engine's computing unit (the mill) in 1888. He gave a successful demonstration of its use in computing tables in 1906.

Later Analog computers

During the first half of the 20th century, many scientific computing needs were met by increasingly sophisticated analog computers, which used a direct mechanical or electrical model of the problem as a basis for computation. However, these were not programmable and generally lacked the versatility and accuracy of modern digital computers.[19]

The art of mechanical analog computing reached its zenith withthe differential analyzer, built by H. L. Hazen and Vannevar Bush at MIT starting in 1927. This built on the mechanical integrators of James Thomson and the torque amplifiers invented by H. W. Nieman. A dozen of these devices were built before their obsolescence became obvious.

By the 1950s the success of digital electronic computers had spelled the end for most analog computing machines, but analog computers remain in use in some specialized applications such as education (control systems) and aircraft (slide rule).

The digital computer age begins

The principle of the modern computer was first described by computer scientistAlan Turing, who set out the idea in his seminal 1936 paper,[20]On Computable Numbers. Turing reformulated Kurt Gödel's 1931 results on the limits of proof and computation, replacing Gödel's universal arithmetic-based formal


US, John Vincent Atanasoff and Clifford E. Berry of Iowa State University developed and tested the Atanasoff–Berry Computer (ABC) in 1942,[27] the first "automatic electronic digital computer".[28] This design was also all-electronic and used about 300 vacuum tubes, with capacitors fixed in a mechanically rotating drum for memory.[29]

During World War II, the British at Bletchley Park achieved a number of successes at breaking encrypted German military communications. The German encryption machine, Enigma, was first attacked with the help of the electro-mechanical bombes. To crack the more sophisticated German Lorenz SZ 40/42 machine, used for high-level Army communications, Max Newman and his colleagues commissioned Flowers to build the Colossus.[29] He spent eleven months from early February 1943 designing and building the first Colossus.[30] After a functional test in Decembera thousand times faster than any other machine. It also had modules to multiply, divide, and square root. High speed memory was limited to 20 words (about 80 bytes). Built under the direction of John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert at the University of Pennsylvania, ENIAC's development and construction lasted from 1943 to full operation at the end of 1945. The machine was huge, weighing 30 tons, using 200 kilowatts of electric power and contained over 18,000 vacuum tubes, 1,500 relays, and hundreds of thousands of resistors, capacitors, and inductors.[35]

The Manchester Small-Scale Experimental Machine, nicknamed Baby, was the world's first stored-program computer. It was built at the Victoria University of Manchester by Frederic C. Williams, Tom Kilburn and Geoff Tootill, and ran its first program on 21 June


1948.[36] It was designed as a testbed for the Williams tube the first random-access digital storage device.[37] Although the computer was considered "small and primitive" by the standards of its time, it was the first working machine to contain all of the elements essential to a modern electronic computer.[38] As soon as the SSEM had demonstrated the feasibility of its design, a project was initiated at the university to develop it into a more usable computer, the Manchester Mark 1.

The Mark 1 in turn quickly became the prototype for the Ferranti Mark 1, the world's first commercially available general-purpose computer.[39] Built by Ferranti, it was delivered to the University of Manchester in February 1951. At least seven of these later machines were delivered between 1953 and 1957, oneof binary logic circuits in a relatively compact space.

The first practical ICs were invented by Jack Kilby at Texas Instruments and Robert Noyce at Fairchild Semiconductor.[47] Kilby recorded his initial ideas concerning the integrated circuit in July 1958, successfully demonstrating the first working integrated example on 12 September 1958.[48] In his patent application of 6 February 1959, Kilby described his new device as “a body of semiconductor material ... wherein all the components of the electronic circuit are completely integrated.”[49][50] Noyce also came up with his own idea of an integrated circuit half a year later than Kilby.[51] His chip solved many practical problems that Kilby's had not. Produced at Fairchild Semiconductor, it was made of silicon, whereas Kilby's chip was made of germanium.

This new development heralded an


United States began to link their computers together using telecommunications technology. The effort was funded by ARPA (now DARPA), and the computer network that resulted was called the ARPANET.[73] The technologies that made the Arpanet possible spread and evolved.

In time, the network spread beyond academic and military institutions and became known as the Internet. The emergence of networking involved a redefinition of the nature and boundaries of the computer. Computer operating systems and applications were modified to include the ability to define and access the resources of other computers on the network, such as peripheral devices, stored information, and the like, as extensions of the resources of an individual computer. Initially these facilities were available primarily to people working in high-tech environments, but in the 1990s the spreadbe willing to pay Barton up to eight weeks' worth of wages - more than £150,000 to cut him loose.

Barton was ordered to train with the kids last Thursday and was even denied entry to the first team car park.

He has not been seen back at the training ground since and has now provided the club with a doctor’s sick-note - a move which has helped bring the lingering feud to a head.

Championship Derby are ready to offer Barton, who helped Burnley win promotion to the Premier League last season before joining Rangers as a free agent, a new start.

him. Holloway appeared to be intoxicated, had evidence of heroin tracks on his arms but was coherent and had no prior felony record. In response to questioning by Detective McCluskey, Holloway stated that he was on his way to buy heroin from defendant at the time of his arrest. Holloway stated that defendant kept heroin in his house, and that he had given defendant a revolver. The evidence is in dispute whether Holloway told police that defendant kept the weapon in his car or by his bedside. Defendant was known to Detective McCluskey as a heroin user and had been convicted in 1974 for possession of heroin. Earlier in 1976 Detective McCluskey had arrested defendant for parole violation and had noticed evidence of heroin use at that time.
FollowingDeputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein unveiled the first public report of the Department of Justice's Cyber-Digital Task Force at the Aspen Security Forum on Thursday, outlining a new policy for responding to foreign influence operations ahead of the midterm elections in November.

The task force, established by Attorney General Jeff Sessions in February, also focused on other cyberthreats facing the U.S., including attacks on infrastructure and privacy.

"Every day, malicious cyberactors infiltrate computers and accounts of individual citizens, businesses, the military and all levels of government," Rosenstein said Thursday.

But, he added, "the Russian effort to influence the 2016 presidential election is just one tree in a growing forest. Focusing merely on a single election misses the point."

The report comes just three days after President Trump's meeting with Russian President Vladimir


of charges or taking overt investigative steps."

In a statement, intelligence committee member Rep. Adam Schiff praised the new disclosure policy.

"If this disclosure requirement had been around in 2016, I firmly believe that it would have served as a meaningful deterrent after Russia’s interference was first discovered, and would have informed voters more quickly and more forcefully that a foreign government was trying to affect their vote," Schiff said.

In addition to the new election meddling policy, the DOJ task force prescribes ways to confront other cyberthreats, including attacks on critical infrastructure like power grids.

WATCH: SHOULD TRUMP AND PUTIN WORK TOGETHER ON CYBER-SECURITY?

"The department encourages key organizations, particularly critical infrastructure owners and operators, to identify and form relationships with personnel in their local FBI field office, including through the partnershipsdetailed above, before an incident occurs," the report reads.

Earlier in the day at the Aspen forum, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats warned attendees of a 'cyber-911' and speculated that attacks on the power grid, or on major banks and Wall Street, could cripple the country.

Rosenstein told attendees at the Aspen forum that the DOJ's work is part of a continuing mission.

"Our adversaries will never relent in their efforts to undermine America, so we must remain eternally vigilant in the defense of liberty, and the pursuit of justice," he said.

Rosenstein took no questions after his speech -- a break from normal protocol at the Aspen forum.

PER CURIAM.

1
This is an appeal from an order of the United States District Court for the District of Kansas, denying the appellant's petition for a writ of habeas corpus.  On December 19, 1955, McKinney was sentenced in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, to serve a term of 12 1/2 years.  He is now confined in the United States Penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas.  Thesubstance of the allegations of his petition is that he has served his sentence and is entitled to release.  The petition was dismissed without a hearing.

On July 15, 1963, the United States Board of Parole released McKinney on parole.  He was immediately delivered to the state authorities of North Carolina on a detainer lodged by that state with the warden of the United States Penitentiary at Atlanta, Georgia.  The record does not show the disposition which North Carolina made of the charges against petitioner, but sometime thereafter he was taken into custody as a parole violator.  He is now confined in the United States Penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas, where he is serving the remainder of his sentence.

2nd Mountain Artillery Regiment (Italy)

The 2nd alpine Artillery Regiment ) was a field artillery regiment of the Italian Army, specializing in mountain combat. Since their formation the Mountain Artillery Regiments have served alongside the Alpini, a mountain infantry corps of the Italian Army, which distinguished itself in combat during World War I and World War II. Besides their close history, the Alpini and Mountain Artillery regiments share the distinctive Cappello Alpino. The regiment was disbanded in 2013 and its FH-70 towed howitzers were transferred to the re-raised 185th Parachute Artillery Regiment Folgore of the Folgore Parachute Brigade in Bracciano.

History
The unit was raised as 3rd Mountain Artillery Regiment in the city of Bergamo on 15 February 1915. On the same date it received the Mountain Artillery Group OnegliaObama heads to Texas as the mirage of an open door on the southern border triggers a political storm in Washington

Two weeks ago, Karla arrived at the Texas border with her two very young children, her mother, and three siblings under the age of 15. It had taken the family a month to make the 1,500 mile journey from their home in northern Honduras, travelling by bus through Guatemala and Mexico. They had sold everything they owned to pay a network of people smugglers who bribed the way clear through checkpoints along the route.

Karla headed north, partly because she had heard the US had begun allowing children to enter legally. This is what the smugglers were saying, and the family knew others who had safely made it across


the frontier.

But the main motive for the journey was fear: Karla wanted to get beyond the reach of her father and his contacts in the street gangs that have turned Honduras into the country with the highest murder rate in the world.

Karla says her father was seeking revenge after he was convicted of raping her as a child and sent to prison. He had already hired a gunman to kill her older brother who fled illegally to the US.

Efforts to pursue wider immigration reforms in Congress recently collapsed and the crisis may come to a head on Wednesday when Obama visits Texas on a pre-scheduled trip. Although he will not visit the border for fear of further stoking the political flames, the president has agreed to invite state governor Rick Perry, one of his chief Republican critics on the issue, to a meeting with local politicians and humanitarian charities in Dallas.

The US political row over child migrants caught fire in early June when leaked photographs showed children crushed together in a Texas holding facility while they awaited processing. Soon after, the government released figures showing that more than 52,000 unaccompanied children had reached the southern border between October 2013 and mid-June – more than double the number for the entire previous fiscal year.

These children cannot be legally deported without first going through the courts because of 2008 legislation designed to prevent child-trafficking.That law was signed by George W Bush, but Republicans blame the recent surge on the practice of placing minors with relatives in the US pending deportation hearings – a process that usuallypresence, but some will admit they have to obtain permission from the gangs and stay away from controversial topics.

Earlier this month the Honduras government claimed the murder rate had fallen by 17% in the first three months of this year, but the announcement was met with scepticism. Two workers at the San Pedro Sula morgue, interviewed separately, said the number of bodies they receive is significantly higher today than it was a year ago.

Stories are also piling up of young children forced to work as lookouts, messengers or spies for the gangs. Eight children, between the ages of 7 and

Several times a week, a convoy of buses brings the latest group of migrants turned back from Mexico: earlier this year the convoys had four buses and arrived twice a week. Now there are three convoys a week, each with seven busloads – many of them including entire family groups.

The deputy secretary of homeland security, Alejandro Mayorkas, told a press briefing last month that 39,000 adults with children were detained at the border between October and the end of May. Most of the deported families in the San Pedro Sula centre includedmore than one child; many had three, of whom a good number were still in nappies.

Edin, a harried-looking woman in a tiger print T-shirt, had two small children in tow as she waited nervously for the latest convoy, on which her husband and baby son were being returned. The plan had been for him to get to the US, save enough money for a people smuggler, and then send for the rest of the family.

Edin said they started to consider leaving Honduras after her husband, a milkman, was threatened by a gang for refusing to pay their “war tax”. Soon after, the couple witnessed the murder of a local evangelical pastor and decided to flee.

When the bus finally arrived, Edin interrupted her story to cuddle her baby, hug

LONDON – Timo Glock’s sudden exit from Marussia has brought into sharper focus an age-old truth of Formula One – that money makes the wheels go round – and highlighted the gulf between cash-rich rights holders and struggling teams.

Passion, engineering brilliance and sheer hard work can only go so far and must be paid for. In the end, teams are always chasing the sponsorship dollar even if they manage to keep their rivals behind them on the track.

Glock was paid to drive at Marussia but the team made clear in a statement on Monday that was a luxury they could no longer afford when their survival was at stake in harsh economic circumstances.

The ‘pay driver’ is not a new phenomenon, and indeed some of the greatest names in Formula One fell into that category when starting out.

By 1974 he was racing for Ferrari and being paid handsomely for his talents.

Seven-times world champion Michael Schumacher made his debut for Jordan in 1991 after cash changed hands while Venezuelan Pastor Maldonado, Mexican Sergio Perez and Russian Vitaly Petrov have all been dubbed pay drivers.

Empress Street has topped the list of the worst roads in Manitoba for the second year in a row.

The Canadian Automobile Association released its annual Top 10 worst roads in Manitoba list on Wednesday.

Despite the repair work currently ongoing on Empress, Manitoba drivers voted it the worst in the province.

Empress, a busy thoroughfare that runs through the St. James neighbourhood near Polo Park shopping centre, is "a major arterial road that many Winnipeggers rely on to get where they are going," CAA Manitoba president Tim Scott said in a news release.

"Properly maintained roads lead to safer travels and a healthy economy, but the public understands that further delay leads to a direct financial impact on them."

Two other roads in St. James — St. James Street and Saskatchewan Avenue— are also on the CAA list.

The area's councillor, Scott Gillingham, said St. James residents have long called for infrastructure improvements in the ward. But, he argues, roads are getting better.

Ness Avenue and St. Matthews Avenue, for example, were all once featured on CAA's list as well, he said.

"I am pleased that significant capital investments have been made towards them and some no longer appear on the list," said Gillingham in a news release Wednesday.

"There will be tens of millions invested in St. James towards road construction over the next year. Streets on the CAA's 2019 list such as Empress Street, Saskatchewan Avenue and St. James Street will all see sections rebuilt through significant capital investment."

Over 2,700 votes were cast for more than 400 roads to determine the


worst in the province. The Top 10 list includes seven Winnipeg streets and three rural roads.

Second place went to Provincial Trunk Highway 34 near Austin, Man., about 130 kilometres west of Winnipeg.

Most drivers cited potholes and crumbling pavement as their main concerns, followed by congestion, CAA Manitoba said.

Cyclists also complained about potholes, as well as poor cycling infrastructure, while pedestrians cited inadequate walking infrastructure as the biggest problem, CAA said in its news release.

Zinedine Zidane wants Real Madrid to make a second attempt to try and bring Liverpool forward Sadio Mane to the Spanish capital in the summer.

Prior to his surprise departure from Los Blancos in the summer, mere days after beating Liverpool to the Champions League for the third time in a row, Zidane was desperate for Real to sign Mane and it looked as though a deal was possible.

Advert

However, the club pursued other targets when Zidane took a break and Julen Lopetegui came in as the Frenchman's replacement.

But now that the Frenchman has returned to the Santiago Bernabeu to try and fix the mess Real find themselves in, France Football say he wants to finally secure Mane's services.

Mane's value has skyrocketed since Real first registered interest in him, withthe Senegalese international scoring 17 goals in the Premier League and currently sitting joint-second in the race for the Golden Boot.

Advert

With teammate Mo Salah struggling of late, Mane has stepped up big time with 11 goals in his last 11 games, including a sensational brace in the Champions League round of 16 second leg victory away at Bayern Munich last week.

The former Southampton man committed his future to the Anfield club by extending his contract until 2023 in November and insisted he is "very happy" on Merseyside.

The best music festival in the NW (in my humble opinion) is Portland, Oregon's Musicfest NW.

Yes, they have the big named indie rock bands "headline" some large scale show in the middle of the city, but while the sheep are baaing at Band of Horses this year, some amazing bands will be blowing minds in various venues around the city.

Due to being paired with the Purple Line, the headways between Union Station and Wilshire/Vermont are cut in half, so the Red/Purple Line trunk has trains running five to ten minutes throughout service times.

The Red Line project consisted of the current Red Line and Purple Line corridors, plus other corridors that were never built. Rather than building the entire project all at once, the SCRTD divided the project into "minimum operating segments" (MOS), corridor segments that could be built as distinct project phases that would provide incremental benefit as they opened.

While some type of mass transit rail project had been planned and considered for many decades to serve the length of Wilshire corridor to Santa Monica, transit


planners finally decided on a route that would travel west along Wilshire Blvd. to Fairfax Avenue, then turn north along Fairfax to the San Fernando Valley. Following a methane explosion in 1985 at a Ross Dress for Less clothing store near Fairfax and Third Street, Congressman Henry Waxman worked to legally designate a large part of Mid-Wilshire as a "methane zone". This zone stretched on either side of Wilshire Boulevard from Hancock Park to west of Fairfax (through areas of his district where subway opposition was strongest). Congress passed the ban in 1986. Subsequently, any plans for a subway west of Western Avenue diverted the line south around the methane zone, using Crenshaw, Pico, and San Vicente Boulevards, but these plans never came to fruition.

The passage of thelegislation forced the then SCRTD (predecessor agency to the current LACMTA) to terminate the route at Western Avenue. (it would later be referred to as "the tail" for its short length from the future transfer station at Vermont Avenue) and no longer qualify for the current round of Federal funding for the remaining miles of the rail line. However, in an effort to qualify for future awards of Federal funds for miles of route that had now been canceled, the SCRTD quickly started over (the FTA requires formulas and studies before it approves funds, and then only for the precise route submitted) and proposed that one leg of the subway would deviate from the Western Ave. bound tunnel and turn north on Vermont, west on Sunset, then north


to the San Fernando Valley, avoiding Waxman's "no-subway" zone.

However, the route from Vermont Avenue heading north was proposed to be elevated along Vermont and required the purchase and demolition of one or more of the hospitals located near the corner of Vermont & Sunset in order for the trains to make the turn west onto Sunset continuing on elevated tracks, a major impact upon the community. In addition, the owners of TV and radio stations, and recording studios further west along Sunset (at that time KTLA, KTTV and KCBS were among several broadcast and post production facilities and music recording studios that were located along the proposed route's stretch of Sunset Blvd.) strongly protested the route claiming that the vibrations and noise from passing trains would interfere withto the Latino, Korean and Chinese communities. Under the direction of Coronado Communications' Fernando Oaxaca[6] and Pangea's Cheryl Ann Wong, the campaign reached the target audience months before the Metro opened by utilizing traditional media and hosting special minority community events. As the Metro Red Line extended to the West Side of Los Angeles, another campaign was enacted by UltraSystems Environmental and Hintz and Balvin Communications, who put together a team to handle all the collateral and public relations.[7]

In 1995, during construction of the subway, a sinkhole appeared on Hollywood Boulevard, barely missing several workers and causing damage to buildings on the street. Subway construction was halted until the situation could be resolved. The contractor, Shea-Kiewit-Kenny, was replaced with a new contractor, Tutor Saliba.[9]

In 1998, Los Angeles County


and tunnels took more time to resolve than the actual construction.[14]

During construction, 2,000 fossils were discovered, including 64 extinct species of fish, the tusk of an Ice Ageelephant and the bones of an ancient longhorn bison, a report funded by the MTA found. The report was authored by paleontologist Bruce Lander of Paleo Environmental Associates in Irvine. Lander worked with a team of 28 scientists during construction of the Metro Rail Red Line. Fossil evidence showed that tens of thousands of years ago, ground sloths, horses, elephants and camels roamed among redwood trees in what is now Los Angeles, according to an MTA summary of the 300-page report. The scientists also found evidence of a great flood in the San Fernando Valley 9,000 years ago that swept awaytrees. Among the 64 extinct species of marine fish 39 had never before been discovered, the report said. The scientists found bones of an American mastodon, a western camel and a Harlan's ground sloth. They found wood and pollen of land plants including incense cedar and coast redwood trees, and bones of birds, shrews, cottontail rabbits, gophers, mice and kangaroo rats. Some of the fossils are as much as 16.5 million years old.[15]

During construction there were allegations of corruption and safety issues, including cost overruns and tunnel walls having thicknesses less than specified or required by law.[16]

In October 2005, the new Orange Line (Los Angeles Metro) began service. The busway was constructed instead of a further Red Line rail extension in the Valley. The Orange Line uses train-like


two-cabin articulated bus bodies to provide high-capacity transit service across an east-west corridor in the southern San Fernando Valley. The Red Line connects to the Orange Line at North Hollywood station. The Orange Line feeds about 15,000 new boardings into the Red Line at the North Hollywood terminus. Currently, little chance exists for further underground Red Line extension west from its northern terminus.

In August 2006, the Wilshire branch of the Red Line, operating between Union Station and Wilshire/Western, was redesignated by Metro as the Metro Purple Line to distinguish it from the Downtown-North Hollywood service.[17] This helps riders in the overlapping section of the routes to avoid confusion and taking the wrong train.

The route currently known as the Red Line was originally intended to continue beyond its easternterminus at Union Station to East Los Angeles. At the north end of the route, the Red Line was to turn west from North Hollywood station toward Warner Center. However, a 1998 proposition was passed by voters, which banned use of county sales tax revenue for subway construction due to the high cost of construction and problems associated with tunneling under Hollywood Blvd.

The tunneling ban put an end to expansion of the Red Line for the then foreseeable future. The route to Warner Center was turned into the Metro Orange Line, a bus rapid transitway (BRT) service. However, in recent years, new legislation has been passed reflecting new public support for subway development, and Metro is now currently working on two subway projects (the Purple Line Extension and


the Regional Connector) in other parts of Los Angeles.

Former Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has mentioned extending the Red Line from its current North Hollywood Station terminus along Lankershim Boulevard to the northeastern San Fernando Valley, with a terminus in Sylmar.[citation needed]

One long-term possibility might be an underground extension of another mile or two to a future high-rise housing district, or to a multi-modal transportation hub station at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, a distance of approximately four miles. It would possibly go under Vineland Avenue and Vanowen Street.[citation needed] In 2006 a large number of housing units, including a high-rise tower was completed very near the North Hollywood (NoHo Arts District) station. A master planned multi high-rise complex further to the north could justify a future short extension, andalso allow more commuter parking to be developed.[citation needed] No plan of this sort has been formally proposed, though some transit advocates have suggested that the Orange Line may be extended along the same route as mentioned above.[citation needed]

In 2010, at the request of L.A. City Councilman Tom LaBonge, Metro staff studied the possibility of adding a station along the west bank of the Los Angeles River to 6th Street and Santa Fe Avenue. The study concluded that such an extension, completed at-grade along Metro-owned right-of-way, could be completed for as little as $90 million.

The study suggested an alternative station at the Division 20 Yard north of 4th Street and Santa Fe Avenue. This station would be closer to the residential population of the Arts District. As new


turnback tracks will need to be built as part of the Purple Line Extension (to allow shorter headways), this Arts District extension could possibly be partially completed as part of the Purple Line Extension project, lowering the incremental cost of the station while increasing its usability.[18][19]

Universal Studios Hollywood is one of the Metro Red Line's most popular destinations on the line.

Plans of extending the Red Line to the Eastside have been set aside with opening of the Metro Gold Line East extension to the neighborhoods of Boyle Heights and East Los Angeles in 2009.[20] Although there are no plans to do such, it is conceivable that plans for a future eastward extension could involve the San Gabriel Valley rather than the Eastside. Some citizen proposals have included theconversion of the El Monte Busway to heavy rail, although this would disrupt the existing bus and Metrolink service along that corridor. Other rights-of-way that could host a Red Line extension, whether subway or at-grade, include the Union Pacific's Alhambra Trench, the former Pacific Electric two-track right of way extending through the City Terrace area to El Monte and Covina, and the median of Huntington Drive, which also held a two-track Pacific Electric line extending as far as Azusa & Glendora, until 1951, when it was removed.

Metro is currently constructing the Purple Line Extension (formerly known as the Westside Subway Extension project) to extend the Purple Line (originally part of the Red Line) westward, to the Westside.

The Red Line operates out of the Division 20 Yard (Santa Fe Yard) located at 320 South Santa Fe Avenue in Downtown Los Angeles. This yard stores the fleet used on the Red and Purple Lines, and where heavy maintenance is performed. Cars reach this yard by continuing past Union Station, making a right turn and surfacing at the Eastern terminus of Ducommun Street. They then travel south to 1st Street, through a washing station, and enter the yard.

On December 22, 2006, a transient accidentally spilled a vial of mercury on the platform at the Pershing Square station. He then located a passenger information intercom and told the operator that he spilled mercury before boarding a train.[23] The Los Angeles CountySheriff's Department was not notified until the next day, eight hours later. Metro has responded since the incident by giving hazardous materials (Hazmat) training to its field employees and operators so they can identify hazardous substances and take correct action in the future.[24]

On August 19, 2011 an altercation between two passengers resulted in a fatal stabbing of one of the involved on the train near the Hollywood and Vine station.[25] The suspect was caught on August 24.[26]

WARRIOR WOMEN

In the 1970s, with the swagger of unapologetic Indianness, organizers of the American Indian Movement (AIM) fought for Native liberation as a community of extended families.

Warrior Women is the story Madonna Thunder Hawk, one such AIM leader who cultivated a rag-tag gang of activist children - including her daughter Marcy - into a group called the "We Will Remember" survival group. Together, Madonna and Marcy fought for Native rights in an environment that made them more comrades than mother-daughter. Today, with Marcy now a mother herself, both women are still at the forefront of Native issues, fighting against the Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota.

Through their story, the film explores what it means to balance a movement with motherhood and how activist legacies are passed downprize money is up by 9%, from £308,000 to £335,200.

In addition, clubs travelling overseas will each receive a £5,000 contribution to their travel costs per overseas game, which is a 25% increase on last season’s figure.

As recently announced, Bray Wanderers and Sligo Rovers will join the 2017/18 IRN-BRU Cup along with the Northern Irish and Welsh teams (Crusaders, Linfield, The New Saints and Gap Connah’s Quay) at the Second Round stage.

Special Agent Edward Donovan initiated a narcotics and money-laundering investigation into

Murad. A November 2004 raid of Metro Car pursuant to a federal warrant uncovered records of

persons in the Detroit drug community who had purchased luxury cars under false names from Metro

Car. Several months after that raid, Murad agreed to cooperate with authorities in their investigation

of a number of high-level drug targets in the Detroit area.

       At approximately 5:45 p.m. on March 17, 2005, two men approached Murad while he sat in

the driver’s seat, and another


person sat in the passenger seat, of a vehicle in Metro Car’s parking

lot. One of the men produced a revolver and fired a single shot into Murad’s head. Murad died the

next day from the gunshot wound.

       Murad’s family publicly offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to the

apprehension of those responsible and, approximately one week after the shooting, an unknown

woman called Metro Car and said she had information about the shooting and knew where the

shooter lived. The police observed the woman meet with Metro Car employees. She requested half

the reward money, left, and when she returned later that day, police transported her to the Michigan

Zvi Lothane

Abstract

Action and interaction, and emotion and thought as the inner well-springs of action, play a central role in the lives of individuals, families, and society, spanning the continuum between everyday life and disorder. Heretofore the narrative tradition has been the main methodology for portraying and formulating human action and interaction and little was written about the dramatic approach to life, disorder, and therapy. Since the essence of drama is action, dialogue, character, and emotion, it is time to give drama its due. The author proposes a methodological concept, dramatology, analogous to narratology, to highlight the dramatic method of investigating action and interaction in life, disorder, and therapy. Breuer and Freud presented both aspects of dramatology:


dramatization in dream and fantasy and dramatization in act, focusing on the person. This approach was elaborated by psychoanalysts with an interpersonal orientation, focusing on the person and speech as action. Dramatology is applied to exploring ongoing patient- therapist interactions as reality and as transference. Analyzing unconscious and latent dramatization in dream, fantasy, and enactment with free association is enhanced by utilizing clarification and confrontation, focusing on the manifest and mutually observable expressive form and style of actions and enactments, defenses and resistances, and the discharge and meaning of emotions. Dramatology puts forward a new paradigm for psychiatry, psychotherapy, and psychoanalysis.

Life, or existence, is action, interaction, speaking: it is inherently dramatic, from the Greek rootdran,to act. Lives of persons can be stories of past events, remembered and narrated,printed page is perceptual and vicariouslyimaginational: he sees the words and “sees,” in his mind’s eye, the scenes depicted by the author. Drama can also be read, but a spectator is a vicariousparticipant: watching a performance on stage makes for immediacy of experiencing and poignancy of emotional involvement. And here is the crucial difference between story telling and drama:a narrative may or may not include dialogue, drama is all dialogue in which stories are also narrated in the dialogue.The latter is also true of the analytic situation.

In real life and in the psychoanalytic setting the mutual emotional experiencing between the participants is actual, transactional,interpersonal. Art imitates life: “all the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players,” says Shakespeare, a staged illusion of the real.


distinct fromdramaturgyand dramatics, the art of composing and staging drama, as set forth by writers on script analysis for actors and directors. The inner life of characters on stage is expressed through external signs and behaviors, determined both by social conventions and individual acting skills (Olson, 1961). With appropriate scenery, costume, and casting, the meaning of inner life is revealed by the way the actor speaks his lines to express various emotions by voice, gesture, and movement, by intonation and the “music” of speeches, by their tempo and rhythm, the dramatic pauses and silences, all contributing to the mood the words evoke (Styan, 1960), bringing out the emotions in the dialogue as well as the subtexts of the words spoken (Thomas, 1999). By these means the actor reachesfor authority.” He repeatedly demanded to have his dependent wishes gratified by me, to be admired as my “best patient.” He fantasized being a girl and taken care of, was envious and resentful of his wife’s financial dependence on him. He identified with father’s love of objects, the sports car and gun collection, which he felt “father loved more than me.” Like father, he “loves toys and gadgets.” He once scratched father’s car, incurring his wrath. He feared father’s alcoholic binges resulting in frequent bellowing and raging and constant quarrels with mother. They divorced when he was ten, he stayed with mother. He retained vengeful hostility towards father, collected grievances for hurts he suffered from him as a child and now unable to confront his father with this


parents and for the first time confronted them with anger bottled up for decade, resulting in a friendlier and more mature relationship with them. He continues to overcome hatred, including hatred in the transference, to love less ambivalently including the analyst, feel compassion and love towards his father. He shows growing improvement in relating to his wife, peers and superiors, and is advancing in his career. As an interpersonal enactment, with its conscious and unconscious elements, the scene was rich in emotional and ethical insights, providing growth for us both.

Discussion: with Freud and beyond Freud

Dramatology underscores the centrality of communicative action and interaction, both verbal and nonverbal, as it pertains to behaviors in life and disorder. We work not withmonadicsymptoms, as in the medical model, but withdyadicand reciprocalthing to work on a case scientifically while treatment is still proceeding -- to piece together its structure, to try to foretell its further progress, and to get a picture from time to time of the current state of affairs, as scientific interest would demand (Freud, 1912a, SE 12:114).

The goals of working scientifically in describing and diagnosing, be it for the purpose of scientific studies, forensic expertises, reports to insurance companies and other agencies for reimbursement for services rendered, statistics scientific and actuarial, drug efficacy studies, neuroscience are different from the goal of therapy. In therapy work is with the individual patient and with her personal life story in the unique encounter betweenthissufferer andthistherapist. Theirs is a unique dramatic encounter whose primary purpose is healing and whose secondary


No one saw this change coming, any more than Sidney Crosby saw David Steckel's shoulder coming that New Year's Day more than two years ago.

It was Jan. 1, 2011. The Washington Capitals had just defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-1 in the Winter Classic, held on Pittsburgh's Heinz Field following a long rain delay.

Crosby moved to a podium to answer questions. The No. 1 topic was the weather, No.2 the game, a distant third the shoulder that knocked Crosby to the ice at the end of the second period. Briefly dazed then, he seemed fine now as he sat and spoke to the media. He seemed fine, and he had taken the first shift of the third period.

"I couldn't tell you what happened," he said. "Gotmy head, for sure. But I can't comment on it."

No comment: the usual hockey player's answer to questions that might lead to further, harder questions.

But a few days later, in another game, he would be hit again, and reality would set in. Concussion symptoms would restrict him to a mere 28 games over the next 18 months.

He wouldn't be able to play, but he could think and reflect. The 23-year-old is now 25: Sid the Kid is now Sid the Man. They used to say his lips looked too big for his face, but he's grown into them in more ways than one – they no longer murmur the comforting clichés that young sports stars use as a shield. Before this past year, no one would have mistaken


him for a spokesperson for anything but his many endorsements.

Instead, the stolid Face of Hockey from the NHL's 2004-05 lockout emerged transformed into the Voice of Hockey with the 2012 lockout. Prepared to speak out on matters from player safety to Olympic participation, the Penguins leader has symbolically brought the entire league under his captaincy.

This is a much different Sidney Crosby than the one Canada thought it knew so well when he scored the overtime goal that brought the country Olympic gold at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games. He is still the iconic name that Canadian children shout out in their mini-sticks games, but he is now much more.

This Sidney Crosby is more connected to his off-ice experiences – to the long months spent recovering from concussion, whenhe turned to reading rather than video games. He became a bit of a history buff, keen on war stories and tales of leadership.

Rather tellingly, his favourite book over those tough times was Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption.

He has much to say and is not afraid to say it. On an early February weekend in Ottawa, with his Penguins practising at a small suburban rink packed with hundreds of screaming kids who have come to see him, he dawdles with a journalist in the far corner of the dressing room, long after the others have left.

It's a rare private audience, and the last phrase Crosby would turn to these days is "no comment."

Crosby now firmly believes that player safety


so involved in the business of the game is unheard of, unless you go all the way back to Terrible Ted Lindsay and the early attempts to form a players' union in the 1950s. No one among the elite of Jean Béliveau, Gordie Howe, Bobby Orr, Mario Lemieux or Wayne Gretzky – Crosby's superstar role models – took on such a role.

Other current stars either ran off to play in Europe or waited the standoff out in hometown rinks. The other NHLers who spoke out – such as Chris Campoli, Josh Gorges or George Parros – are journeymen by comparison.

"I felt that there was a deal that could be worked out for both sides," Crosby says. "I think the frustrating part of the process was when we weren'tyears – it wasn't doing the game any good. So I felt like I needed to be vocal for that reason."

Crosby's longtime agent, Pat Brisson of Los Angeles, says that Crosby has always been acutely respectful of other players. When Crosby was a 16-year-old junior phenomenon with the Rimouski Océanic, he told Brisson to refuse the endorsement offers that flooded in after he signed with Reebok and Gatorade. He didn't want to go too far, too soon.

Brisson remembers Crosby telling him, "It's not right. I haven't even played in the NHL yet. What will NHLers think of me?"

Pittsburgh general manager Ray Shero has watched his captain grow over the past several years, and says he was pleased to see Crosby step up during the four-month lockout.

"It was good


for the players," Shero says, "but it was also good for him."

Is it a new maturity? His agent questions that. "When I first met him," Brisson says, "he was 13 years old and asked questions a 15-, 16-year-old might ask. When he was 16, he was talking like a 20-year-old."

It might be more apt, he suggests, to say Crosby has become more reflective. He believes that the changes in the young man from Cole Harbour, N.S., have their genesis in Crosby's struggles to overcome the fog of concussion, as well as in his own contract negotiations last summer, which led to a 12-year, $104.4-million (U.S.) deal with the Penguins.

Crosby spent much of his down time becoming more interested in the world apart from hockey. Alongwith Unbroken, he read other books about military events, such as Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and The Lost Heroes of Seal Team 10 . He likes to watch Homeland , the television series about a CIA agent and a soldier returning from years as a prisoner of war in Afghanistan.

Brisson recalls coming back from a holiday with his wife to Bora Bora: Instead of just looking at vacation pictures, Crosby told them all about the Pacific island's strategic role as a supply base for the United States. during the Second World War.

When it comes to the game, though, Crosby says he is a determined "traditionalist." In Winnipeg recently to play the Jets, he insisted on walking down Portage Avenue in minus-40-with-windchill weather, so he


could "feel the Canadian winter" and get in a proper frame of mind for the game.

He also thinks that players have a responsibility to their fans. Basketball superstar Charles Barkley once famously said, "I'm not a role model. … Just because I dunk a basketball, doesn't mean I should raise your kids." Crosby believes the opposite, and he takes it very seriously.

"He had time to question his future," says Brisson of Crosby's time away from the rink. "It gave him time to reflect. He had to think about things from a different perspective."

During last summer's contract talks, Crosby became deeply involved in the negotiations, particularly over his concern that his concussion history might deprive him of full insurance. It forced him to recognize the fragilityof a hockey career and made him more aware of players with far less security.

"From a business standpoint," Brisson says, "he grew a lot from those two years. It's another chapter in his book."

But there was more than business to reflect on over those long months when he could not play. There's the question of safety, of course. "The grassroots have to kind of help to build that," he says, "but as a league you have to be aware of that, too. Because that's what all the kids and all the young players are trying to play as – that's what they're watching."

But he also got to think about the journey – and the geography – of his hockey career. He believes that while hockey is the same


game in the United States and Canada, it is also not the same – as he was reminded by the couple of thousand young players and parents who crammed into that small Ottawa rink this week.

"I don't think you can describe it unless you've grown up in it and have experienced it," he says. "I've been in Pittsburgh a long time now and I've seen the passion that people have for hockey there, but there's also football and baseball in town.

"I think when you look in the Canadian cities it's hockey. Hockey is the big thing in town and it's all about that team. I think that's really what separates it from everything else."

And with that heritage in mind, he promises there will be more to come fromin 2001, after he admitted going more than 100 miles an hour on the M1, and was fined ?" "200." "In the three previous years, he earned nine points on his licence for speeding." "And the best reason he could come up with was that he didn't want his constituents to catch cold waiting for him." "Now, "Three Buggy" Grant received a speeding ticket while driving his horse and buggy in Washington DC in 1869." "He had to persuade the officer in charge that he was guilty and he was fined ?" "20." "God, was that a speed camera, like a bloke, you know, with a big black hood over him?" ""No, now hold it, now, wait a minute." "In 30 minutes, I'll have this."" "No, it was

" Bigger than a redwood tree?" "Yes." "The largest specimen is in the Malheur National Forest in Oregon." "It covers 2,200 acres, ladies and gentlemen." " One mushroom?" " It is between 2 and 8,000 years old." "It was initially thought to grow in separate clusters, but researchers have now confirmed the discovery that it is one single huge organism connected under the soil."

The statement from Trump's campaign was in response to the State Department delaying the completion of an open-records request by International Business Times until after the 2016 presidential election. That request — which was filed in July 2015 — asked for all correspondence between Clinton's State Department office and the United States Trade Representative during her tenure (2009 to 2013) that referenced the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The State Department initially estimated that it would complete the request in April of this year, but the department just announced it was pushing that completion date back to the end


of November.

"Hillary Clinton's TPP emails should absolutely be released, as her support for TPP threatens to permanently undermine U.S. workers and sovereignty," Stephen Miller, senior policy advisor to the GOP's presumptive nominee, said in a statement to IBT. "Hillary is 100 percent controlled by corporate interests, including foreign corporate interests, and it is essential these emails see the light of day."

Clinton's campaign did not respond to an IBT request for comment. As secretary of state, she repeatedly promoted the TPP, but as a presidential candidate she has said she opposes the deal and that she did not work on it. IBT previously uncovered State Department cables showing that Clinton's State Department conducted some TPP-related diplomatic deliberations. The July 2015 open-records request for the State Department correspondence sought toreference to recently released documents about Clinton's work on those deals as Secretary of State after she had previously pledged to oppose them during her 2008 presidential campaign. "Hillary's careful wording on TPP in her primary battle — that she now disapproves of it only 'in its current form' after months of lobbying for it — is further proof that she has every intention of ramming it down the throats of the American people, sending millions more jobs overseas. Hillary is the outsourcing candidate."

New research from Tel Aviv University reveals that citrons and lemons were clear status symbols for the ancient Roman ruling elite and plots the route and evolution of the citrus trade in the ancient Mediterranean.

The study is based on a collection of ancient texts, art, artifacts, and archaeobotanical remains such as fossil pollen grains, charcoals, seeds, and other fruit remnants. It was led by archaeobotanist Dr. Dafna Langgut of TAU's Institute of Archaeology and The Steinhardt Museum of Natural History and recently published in HortScience.

Until the first century AD, the only citrus produce available to the ancient Romans were the extremely rare and inordinately expensive citrons and lemons. "Today, citrus orchards are a major component of the Mediterranean landscape and one of the most importantcultivated fruits in the region. But citrus is not native to the Mediterranean Basin and originated in Southeast Asia," Dr. Langgut said.

"My findings show that citrons and lemons were the first citrus fruits to arrive in the Mediterranean and were status symbols for the elite. All other citrus fruits most probably spread more than a millennium later for economic reasons."

The first Roman lemon?

At first the Romans only had access to rough-skinned citrons, also known as etrogim—mostly rind and dry, tasteless flesh. The citron arrived in Rome from what is now Israel. The earliest botanical remains of the citron were identified in a Persian royal garden near Jerusalem and dated to the 5th-4th centuries BC. It is presumed that it spread from there to other locations around the Mediterranean.

"The


first remains of the earliest lemon, found in the Roman Forum, date to right around the time of Jesus Christ, the end of the first century BC and early first century AD," said Dr. Langgut. "It appears that the citron was considered a valuable commodity due to its healing qualities, symbolic use, pleasant odor and rarity. Only the rich could have afforded it. Its spread therefore was helped more by its high social status, its significance in religion and its unique features, rather than its culinary qualities."

According to Dr. Langgut, sour oranges, limes and pomelos were introduced to the West by Muslim traders via Sicily and the Iberian Peninsula much later, in the 10th century AD.

Muslim trade routes

"It is clear that Muslim traders played a crucial role inthe dispersal of cultivated citrus in Northern Africa and Southern Europe," Dr. Langgut said. "It's also evident because the common names of many of the citrus types were derived from Arabic, following an earlier diversification in Southeast Asia. Muslims controlled extensive territory and commerce routes from India to the Mediterranean."

According to the research, the sweet orange associated with Israel today only dates as far back as the 15th century and was the product of a trade route established by the Genoese and, later, the Portuguese. The sticky-sweet mandarin was introduced to the Mediterranean only in the beginning of the 19th century.

"It wasn't until the 15th century that the sweet orange arrived on European tables. By the time mandarins appeared in the 19th century, citrus fruits were considered commonplace,"
