Approximately six weeks after Israel launched its assault, the Human Rights Council of the UN held an emergency session regarding the bloodbath in Gaza.

In the strongest of terms, a resolution was passed which, in relevant part, condemned “the widespread, systematic and gross violations of international human rights and fundamental freedoms arising from … the latest Israeli military assault on the occupied Gaza Strip, by air, land and sea, which has involved disproportionate and indiscriminate attacks, including aerial bombardment of civilian areas, the targeting of civilians and civilian properties in collective punishment contrary to international law andHomeboy Electronics Recycling offers advice on how to work with formerly incarcerated personnel and offer second chances.

Hiring formerly incarcerated personnel offers rewards and fills gaps in labor shortages, but it comes with different challenges that employers need to be aware of.

Homeboy Electronics Recycling, Los Angeles, has been offering second chances to formerly incarcerated personnel since it launched in 2011. The company received R2 (Responsible Recycling Practices) certification in 2015. The company was originally called Isidore Electronics Recycling when it opened. It was later acquired by Homeboy Industries, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit that offers re-entry services to formerly incarcerated people, including job training.

Kabira Stokes, founder and CEO of Homeboy Electronics Recycling, says it’s important for recyclers interested in trying this hiring approach to connect with a local nonprofit to

Australia's most venomous spiders include the Sydney funnel-web (Atrax robustus) and the redback spider (Latrodectus hasselti). Both are found in forested and urban areas, making contact between these species and humans more likely than some city dwellers might prefer. However, no deaths have been associated with these "deadly" spiders in many decades, according to Hochuli.

No one in Australia has died from being bitten by a Sydney funnel-web spider since 1981, when antivenin treatments became available. Redback antivenin was developed in the 1950s, and no deaths have been reported from these types of spider bites since.

In Brazil, there are three species of wandering spiders — named for their tendency to wander around on the ground looking for food — that are often considered "deadly."

Defendants' Request for Judicial Notice, filed July 6, 2001.
[5]  The parties contest whether ZPI has an ownership interest in the character "Zorro." ZPI contends that it has such an interest, and it has presented evidence of the origin of that interest. Specifically, ZPI has presented evidence that on July 26, 1949, Johnston McCulley, the author of "The Curse of Capistrano," entered into an agreement with Mitchell Gertz which states, "McCulley hereby desires to sell, transfer and assign all rights, licenses and privileges of every kind and nature whatsoever in and to the use of the name `Zorro' and to the character `Zorro' in any and all fields except magazine serialization and book publishing subject to the option above referred to...." Paragraph 1 of that Agreement states that:

The Court notes that while each individual clip of MOZ used in the original "pitch-kit" may only be a few seconds in length, it appears that the bulk of the video consists of MOZ clips that have been strung together to "pitch" QOS. Plaintiff's use of MOZ footage becomes particularly obvious upon review of the revised "pitch-kit" video, wherein clips of QOS actors are used in place of the MOZ footage. Because it appears that most of the original "pitch-kit" video is comprised of footage from MOZ, the Court cannot find at this time that, as a matter of

This is the first in a series of top 10s that will be spread out over the next couple weeks; the rest willbeen lazy shorthand for decades to refer to George Harrison as the “quiet Beatle,” and though that might have a kernel of truth to it, the man himself was far more complex. Publicly, he was quiet because he desperately hated fame; professionally, he was quiet during the Beatle years because John and Paul vetoed his material, and later, because he was content with tending to his family and to his garden. Martin Scorsese’s Bob Dylan documentary No Direction Home definitively captured that 60s icon’s brilliance and enigma, and while Living in the Material World doesn’t quite do the same for this 60s icon, it comes close enough. In the first part of this two-part doc, the entire life cycle of The Beatles is rehashed yet again, though considering


it’s Scorsese at the helm, it remains of interest. It’s in the second part, however, when things truly come alive. By telling of his unsung career as a film producer, enticing candid stories from a number of those closest to him, and showing private home movies, Scorsese paints a portrait of Harrison as a man perpetually struggling to reconcile his spirituality with his materialism, caught between divinity and mortality.

Gay Porn Actor Bruno Knight Arrested At LAX With Half A Pound Of Meth Up His Butt

Here’s a cautionary prostate tale for the kids.

Gay porn actor Bruno Knight (real name Phillip Gizzie) was attempting to fly out of LAX on June 16th with half a pound of crystal meth shoved up his ass when things started going decidedly wrong. Go figure.

The British native never made it on the plane back to London. As he attempted to board the Virgin Atlantic flight, Customs and Border Protection officers — acting on a tip from the DEA — stopped and questioned him.

It became very clear very quickly to the officers that something was amiss. Knight had only been in Los Angeles for a few days with his partner Alister McCalister (amazingname), had no checked luggage, and was moving erratically and sweating profusely. When asked about his brief trip, he explained that he had been in North Hollywood partying with several male friends, and that he’d taken meth, marijuana, cocaine and GHB.

He was escorted to a holding room at LAX where upon further questioning he admitted to having inserted three large objects containing meth up his anus.

Two of those objects were produced shortly thereafter when Knight complained that he couldn’t control his bowels any longer.

He was admitted to Centinela Hospital in Inglewood, CA, where the third object finally came out of hiding at the behest of an enema.

The total amount from all three objects added up to 226 grams, or just shy of half a pound.

that, by virtue of the screw being screwed into the guide part, the compensating element, by virtue of the guide part being widened in the region of said compensating element, can be clamped firmly on the guide part in that the guide part is of tubular configuration with at least one longitudinal slit and is enclosed by the compensating part, against which the guide part presses, when the screw is screwed in, with the longitudinal slit or slits widening in the process.
In the case of this configuration, the compensating element is only influenced by the screw when the screw, as it is screwed into the guide part, widens the latter and thus clamps the compensating element firmly on the guide part. This avoids displacement of the compensating elementfor the internal thread to be preformed with underdimensioning.
The widening of the guide part may be produced, on the one hand, by the thread of the screw or by a screw-shank part which is provided, with overdimensioning in relation to the guide part, as a constituent part of the screw.
A particularly straightforward design is achieved in that the guide part has an inner tube and an outer tube, coaxial with the inner tube, with an annular space which is located between the two tubes and is essentially filled by the likewise tubular compensating element.
In order to provide specific and additional securing for the axial positions of the inner tube or guide part and the compensating element relative to one another, passing through the longitudinal slit or slits are


CHICAGO — America faces a wide array of insurgencies across the globe, from the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria to the Taliban in Afghanistan, each one different in its aims, structures and strategies. So why do the United States and its allies take pretty much the same approach to all?

A “surge” briefly stabilized Iraq, but the same strategy failed in Afghanistan. Internationally backed negotiations succeeded in Bosnia, but have so far failed in Syria. Israel’s targeting of Hamas leaders has not degraded the group, even as the deaths of factional leaders have sowed confusion within the Pakistani Taliban.

This track record is spotty because the insurgents themselves vary tremendously, particularly in the social networks among their leaders, and between those leaders and the local communities in which theyand it works every time that you try.

Ousted UI Christian student group files lawsuit against university in religious liberty case

A Christian student group has filed a federal lawsuit against the University of Iowa after the university revoked the group's registration as an on-campus organization last month.

Business Leaders in Christ, formed by Tippie College of Business students in 2014, filed the suit Monday, which includes 20 counts against the university.

Those counts claim UI infringedon the group's constitutional rights and violated the Higher Education and Iowa Human Rights acts, among other violations, after it requested the group amend its guiding "statement of faith" to comply with UI's Policy on Human Rights.

UI's revocation of registration stems from a 2016 complaint by a former member who, after seeking vice presidency of Business Leaders in Christ, submitted a complaint to UI leadership that said he was denied that role because he is openly gay.

The group claims it did not discriminate based on the student's sexual orientation, but that leaders are "required to agree with and strive to abide by" the group's religious beliefs, "which include avoiding any sexual activity outside of marriage between a man and a woman."

"This is 2017, not '1984,'" said Jacob Estell,


year, when Hannah Thompson, then-president of the group, asked if the member would follow the group's beliefs on sexual moral conduct, the member said he intended to pursue same-sex relationships.

Thompson said, according to the suit, the member "would not be eligible for a leadership position because his decision to enter into same-sex relationships was inconsistent with Business Leaders in Christ's religious beliefs."

The university's revocation of recognition, determined after a UI investigation and conversations between the group's leadership and UI officials, means the group cannot participate in on-campus recruitment fairs, use campus facilities or receive funding and benefits other organizations receive.

In a statement provided by Media Relations Director Anne Bassett, the university said it "does not tolerate discrimination of any kind in accordance with federal and state law." Therepresented Hobby Lobby in a Supreme Court case in which, in 2014, the court ruled it was against federal law to require family-owned corporations to pay for contraception insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act.

“This is premeditated religious discrimination, plain and simple," Eric Baxter, senior counsel at Becket, said in the Monday news release. "A state school cannot demand a change to students' faith any more than the U.S. president could demand a change to the Bible."

Business Leaders in Christ's suit also names Dean of Students Lyn Redington, Assistant Dean of Students Thomas Baker and Iowa Memorial Union Executive Director William Nelson as defendants. The case ultimately asks the court to compel the university to reinstate the group's official recognition and asks for nominal damages.

Seventeen North Atlantic right whales died in North America in 2017, including 12 in Canada, in what the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration declared an “unusual mortality event.” The deaths were human-caused — the result of either entanglement or vessel strikes.

“That was sort of a lightbulb moment for many people about how severe this issue was,” said Tonya Wimmer, the executive director of the Marine Animal Response Society in Nova Scotia.

AD

The Canadian government implemented measures including speed limits for certain vessels, a temporary ban on lobster and crab fishing in certain parts of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and increased aerial surveillance of the waters.

The restrictions were tightened in 2018 — and seemed to be working. Last year, no right whales were found dead ineasy to strike a balance between protecting the whales and reducing the impact on industry. He said the welfare of the species is “the first and foremost thing we have to be focused on.”

Wimmer applauds the government’s actions, but says she doesn’t think it has found the right balance between animal welfare and the protection of industry yet.

AD

She was present for the necropsy of a 40-year-old mother and grandmother who was known as Punctuation, for the small scars on her head that resembled commas and dashes.

The whale, found dead in the Gulf of St. Lawrence in June, was hit so hard by a vessel that her organs were beginning to protrude from a six-foot cut on her back.

AD

Wimmer says she has scars, too, from Punctuation’s injuries.


Asked if it's been a good business for him, Knight laughed, "Yeah sure, my wife bought a new car!"

Knight noted that he tends to sell more than one plaque every day, with customers seeking him out from far and wide, thanks to attention he has received over the years in many publications and broadcasts.

In October, spiders aren't terribly active, but in the warmer months, Knight hangs frames in his barn and waits until spiders make webs in the holes of the frames. To encourage web-weaving, Knight and his wife look for spider egg sacs throughout the season, and relocate those sacs to the frames.

After the spiders weave their webs, Knight explained he takes spray paint and sprays the webs white. Finally, in the most delicate step, he takesextreme even for college or NFL.

For most outside of the CrossFit community, the word "rhabdo" brings on looks of confusion. Honestly, I had never heard the term until I started training at CrossFit gym. Even then, rhabdo sounded more like "Kaiser Soze", than a crippling condition.

This all makes sense now. This team is in nasty turmoil. 20+ players get suspended for failing a street drug test. The street drug tests only happen during a bowl game, so chalk that up to stupidity. Two best players kicked off the team for drug related offenses. The coaches were more than a bit angry and this was a way to weed some people out quick and see who trained; find out who wanted to be part of the team and who was just there b/c of a free ride.

Enlarge this image LA Johnson/NPR LA Johnson/NPR

Mayor Bill de Blasio this week pushed ahead with plans to make New York City one of nation's few big cities to offer free, full-day preschool for all 3-year-olds.

The plan would serve, when fully rolled out over several years, more than 60,000 children a year. It builds on one of de Blasio's signature accomplishments of his first term – universal pre-K for 4-year-olds.

A few places, including Washington, D.C., have made a serious effort to fund preschool for 3-year-olds. New York City's plan, when fully realized, would be the most ambitious such effort to date.

To achieve this goal the mayor says he'll need significant help from the state and federal government: upwards of $700 million


dollars. And he faces the political tussles that will surely accompany his financing challenges. The mayor is running for re-election.

But his proposal builds on widespread consensus that high-quality pre-K programs can have a huge positive impact on the lives of children – especially low-income ones – as well as on the parents and family.

That's the crux of the study The Life-Cycle Benefits of an Influential Early Childhood Program, co-authored by Nobel laureate James Heckman, a professor of economics at the University of Chicago and the director of the Center for the Economics of Human Development.

The maxillary central incisor is considered to be the least difficult subject for a clinical endodontic experience. However, the internal anatomy of maxillary central incisors can present a number of variations, including multiple accessory canals. This article highlights the clinical significance and management of accessory canals located in the apical one-third of maxillary central incisors. The authors present two case reports in which failure to detect the accessory canals led to root canal failure and subsequent surgical intervention. Another two case reports present the serendipitous discovery and nonsurgical management of accessory canals during the initial treatment of maxillary incisors. It is important for the clinician to be able to detect the signs suggesting the presence of

At least 30 people have died after Sudanese security forces launched a massive crackdown against protesters at a central Khartoum sit-in..

Heavily armed paramilitaries attacked the site of a sit-in in the capital that has been the centre of a campaign to bring democratic reform shortly after dawn on Monday, firing teargas and live ammunition.

Witnesses reported that the security personnel belonged to the feared Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary force that was heavily armed by Omar al-Bashir, the former president.

Bashir’s repressive 30-year rule ended in April when he was ousted by the army following months of massive pro-democracy demonstrations in Khartoum and


morning.

There are also claims that many bodies were thrown into the river Nile by security forces.

Hospitals in central Khartoum struggled to cope with the numbers of injured and appealed for surgeons to volunteer to help.

“Wounded people are lying on the ground in the reception area as there are not enough beds,” sad Azza al-Amel, a doctor at the Royal Care hospital.

The RSF have been accused of systematic human rights abuses. They are led by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemedti, who also serves as deputy head of the transitional military council, the country’s governing committee.

During the afternoon, the RSF were reported to have taken up positions throughout Khartoum and the neighbouring city Omdurman, beating traders and other residents.

Doctors said the RSF had also entered hospitals, firing weapons, beatingmedical staff and injuring protesters.

The news of the crackdown sparked unrest around Khartoum. Hundreds of protesters were also reported to have blocked roads with stones and burning tyres in Omdurman, the twin city neighbouring the Sudanese capital.

Live images broadcast by Arab television stations showed tents used by the protesters on fire, as other demonstrators ran away from the scene.

In footage on social media, bloodied protesters could be seen on the ground as vehicles manned by armed men in uniforms drove at speed through the streets. Several video clips showed groups of RSF fighters beating and shooting at civilians, including traders.

Khartoum said he could “hear the sound of gunfire and I see a plume of smoke rising from the area of the sit-in”.

People in Omdurman reported extensive shooting in the streets of the city.

“There is no transportation, all the streets are blocked by protesters responding to the SPA’s call … Tyres are burning,” said one resident.

There were also reports of security forces breaking up demonstrations elsewhere in Sudan, though it was unclear if there had been casualties.

Foreign journalists in Khartoum said they were being confined to a hotel by unidentified security personnel.

The Sudanese Professionals Association, one of the main pro-reform groups, called on Sudanese people to take part in “total civil disobedience” to topple the military council and for people for take to the streets to protest.

The SudaneseAir Pilots Association was reported to have decided to support the call, which could severely affect flights to Khartoum. Other professional bodies also said they would strike in protest at fresh outbreaks of violence.

Sudan has been ruled by a military committee known as the transitional military council since the fall of the dictator Bashir in April.

Moussa Faki Mahamat, the chair of the African Union, said he strongly condemned the violence and called on the council “to protect the civilians from further harm”.

It is unclear if the military had backed the crackdown, raising the prospect of a dangerous split within security forces.

In a statement the ruling council blamed “criminals” for the violence and called for a resumption of negotiations on the future of the country.

Experts have previously warned of


a “nightmare scenario” in which infighting among militia and soldiers leads to a complete collapse of the state.

Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who is the interim leader of Sudan, visited Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates following the breakdown of talks with representatives of the pro-democracy coalition last month.

Though consensus on the broad outlines of a deal to install a civilian government had been reached, protracted negotiations between a coalition of pro-reform groups and the military have foundered on the question of who would dominate the top decision-making body during an interim period.

The pro-reform groups feared the military would not hand over power at the end of the supposed transition.

Egypt called on both the military and protesters to exercise restraint.

Irfan Siddiq, the British ambassador in Sudan, saidDudley Nourse was appointed
captain and, now that Alan Melville was off the scene, Eric Rowan made
vice-captain. Manager Sid Pegler considered sending Rowan home for his
response to the crowd’s attitude at Old Trafford but Rowan apologised. He had
sat down on the pitch in protest at raucous barracking when the South
Africans were scoring slowly against Lancashire.
In truth all the tourists’ batsmen scored slowly almost right through the
tour, and Rowan was acting responsibly, given the inexperienced batting to
come.

However, on arriving home he
was presented with a letter saying that he would not be chosen for the
forthcoming tour of Australia,
either because of the Manchester incident or
because of what went on in Holland
when Rowan was left in charge of the tour party. A safer choice might have
been Jack Cheetham or even the uncapped Russell


Endean. He was chosen as
wicket-keeper in preference to Bob Williams because of his superior batting
ability, but would otherwise have been South Africa’s captain in three
hockey Tests against the British touring team in August and September.

South
Africa achieved a stunning victory in the first
Test when skipper Nourse made 208 in great pain from a broken thumb before
Athol Rowan and ‘Tufty’ Mann bowled England out with a winning margin
of 71 runs. They lost the next two matches badly but at Headingley hit up 538
runs with 236 of them coming from Eric Rowan’s bat..

The touring side was badly hit
by several injuries and illnesses. Melle was out of action for six weeks
after having a hernia operation in mid-tour and Nourse, who had played on
after his injury, entered hospital after the final Test fora third operation
on his thumb, which then did not heal for a year. Athol Rowan’s bowling was
saved for the Test matches as he struggled in such pain with his right knee that
Tayfield was flown over to assist the side. His fellow spinner Mann was taken
ill soon after the Fourth Test and remained in England for a serious operation when
the tour party sailed home.

There was such doubt over the
fitness of Athol Rowan’s war-wounded leg that Hugh Tayfield was flown over to assist the side. At the end of
the tour Rowan despaired of his knee ever improving and decided to retire
from first-class cricket.

The touring side was badly hit
by other injuries and illnesses. Melle was out of action for six weeks after
having a hernia operation in mid-tour and Nourse played after

Interestingly, nearly 50% of participants reportedly failed to notice the gorilla upon later interview, leading Simons and Chabris ([@B88]) to conclude that conscious perception does not occur without focused attention.

Mr McDonnell, who was elected in South Belfast, said he was happy with his own election but admitted to "personal disappointment" in other constituencies.

Government has lined this whole thing up for a big battle between Sinn Fein and the DUP and to a large extent that's understandable - they've been the problem parties for the last 10 years.

But when you talk about delivering, the reality is that they're very slow and drag their heels about delivering.

# Phase I: Hype

## PAUL

I've come to the conclusion that "trivia" is by far the most terrifying word in the English language. I've been through this three times, paged through all the records and accounts in Aukland's, chatted up plenty of my fellow competitors, and I still can't explain just why it is that this little game of ours is so unhinged. No, not all of the crazy stories are true – people just love to add their own bullshit to the mix. But enough of it _is_ true, enough to be weird and terrifying.

I'm rambling here, something I tend to do when trivia comes


and down and waving like he hadn't seen me in years, clutching a messy two–inch binder that resembled the operations manual for a Naval GPS system.

This is my world. I didn't quite choose it, it was there long before I came along, but it's mine now.

And damn it, I could use a break.

## KEN

Allow me to introduce myself. I am Kenneth Greevey, a student at Northwest High School where I have maintained a 4.0 GPA every semester save one. Mandatory practical arts classes are a cruel joke. I partake in few extracurricular activities, preferring to use my free time to socialize with my friends, enjoy a vintage video game, or build my collection of books. Oh, but I will not bore you with the details of my lifereal heartbreaker type. Behind the glamor, she's really pretty smart – at least smart enough to know how to get everything she wants. My crowd is a little more reserved. I'm the tagalong, or maybe the project girl that everyone tries to "fix."

Now that I think about it, Trivia Master is one of the few things we can do together. We've been on the same team for three years in a row. Competing with her friends is strange, though, because these are people I do not interact with on a daily basis. Every year, it's "The Popular Kids And That Jane Girl Who Looks Really Awkward And Out–Of–Place." It doesn't bother me, though. Honestly, it is nice to be able to hang with that crowd for a while.


I? Oh, God. He's this kid who's been following me around like a lost puppy for years, ever since...well, I have a theory, but that's a story for another time. He can barely bring himself to open his mouth around, and I'm sure he thinks he's being real subtle and that I don't know what's on his mind. A lot of people think it's sweet, but then again they don't have to put up with it. Look, if he would just ask me out on a date, I'd probably agree to it if only so that he could move on, but he seems to prefer this weird, dodgy little game. I just don't get it.

Here's the thing, though: Isabel can't stand Paul. I don't think a day hasall turning out so easy.

Too easy, really. Nothing ever goes this smooth. I have a terrible feeling about this.

## AARON

"Trivia." I hate that word. More precisely, I hate that dismissive little tone people always apply to the word, that trace of a sneer at the end. When people talk about "trivia," they imply that gaining knowledge for its own sake is a waste of time. "Worthless knowledge," there's another one. That one comes from the same little minds that turn their noses up at the space program or research into the fundamental elements of reality. If they can't use it to make you a fancy phone, it's no good, huh? There is no "worthless knowledge," only worthless people who can't comprehend the true power that knowledge holds. Ungrateful


up at everything I do that's open to the public, and even some things that really aren't. I guess that should make me feel better, knowing that my family is behind me. But these days, it really doesn't. When I'm on my own time, I'd rather just forget about Trivia Master.

Once the door closes behind me, I can start to forget. There's nothing special about my bedroom, and it's not all that big – pretty cramped, actually – but it's me, for better or worse. Here's my little workstation where I do homework and work on all those personal projects that I talk about and then never finish. There are my rickety old bookshelves, packed with classic fantasy and science fiction novels and role–playing supplies. And there's thea drawer. Once I knew that I was cut off, my blood pressure dropped about five points. Shame it's going to go back up.

## JANE

So Thursday I woke up in a really good mood, which isn't typical for me, not by a long shot. It must have been a little leftover joy from finding out that Isabel was actually interested in my opinion. Little things like that can really do wonders for me. I slept well, beat the alarm up and hit the ground like a track start. Gave me a good twenty extra minutes to take care of my morning routine.

Ah yes, that all–important routine that I follow religiously every morning. Oh what, you think a beautiful rose like me just wakes up looking like this? Far


of him rattling off stats later and I realized how very wrong I was. And the last thing I'm going to do is tell him anything that he'll end up using in his weird crusade for the Trivia Master championship. Lucky me that he let me get away so easily.

I did eventually find Karen, but it wasn't that morning. It wasn't at noon, either, or between any of my classes. For a while I thought that she was gone, that I was completely wasting my time. Then, at the end of the day, I took a break outside of the building in preparation to grill all the clubs for her location. Sure enough:

"Jane Anders! It's been forever!"

"Karen! What do you know, I was just looking for you." Usuallytoo. Oh, and Isabel likes to take the team out on the town before the tournament starts, so you might get a call."

"That sounds great! I look forward to it. Thanks again."

Really unexpected. What can I say? Never underestimate the power of trivia to bring different people together.

I was headed home when I spotted poor Paul Liston sitting a few yards away. Waiting for me, I figured. Yeah, real cute.

Maybe some tiny bit of this fixation he has is my fault. He used to be normal around me – or at least as normal as he ever is around people – and then it all went downhill. It was some school–sponsored social event they put on when we first got to Northwest. My mom bought me this dress


not reciprocate. "Anyway, I am really sorry to interrupt you, but I was hoping I could talk to you for a minute about the upcoming trivia competition."

"Yeah, I don't do trivia." Scott leaned back against the stage, looking up at the ceiling, part of his well–orchestrated plan to look bored. "If that's why you came, then you should really just take off."

"Now hold on a minute." It was going to take more persuasion to bring him around to my way of thinking. "I realize that you've never done anything like this, but if you really think about it, it's a great opportunity. The rules are straightforward, I can teach you everything you need to know in just a few – "

"Look, man," he said, cutting me off. "I'menough for her to thoroughly prepare.

2005. A competitor threatens to post details about a rival's sexual history on his blog unless she declines to participate.

Obviously, dirty tricks are not new, but the kids who pulled these stunts are nothing. I'm dealing with someone with a boundless penchant for designing novel cruelties.

I've known that this year was going to be unpleasant ever since Ken and I ran into Aaron. Aaron Bellamy might require a bit of explanation. He's another perennial contender, and is probably my greatest personal competition. That much everyone knows. What few people understand is that he actually hates me on a personal level. What no one but Aaron himself understands is why. I've known Aaron for years – he didn't always despise me. Hell, we were


bringing all of his children?"

"I don't know if Ben's on speaking terms," said Father. "The girls will probably come along."

"What about Mr. Zhang?"

"He's headed to Shanghai to check up on his business."

"Right, that thing with the teacher. God, what a mess."

"No way he'll be back so soon."

"So that's seven without Ben?"

I cleared my throat. "...I'm home."

"Great." Mother didn't even look up. "Better make it eight, anyway. If we have to turn someone out because we didn't plan ahead, it won't look good for either of us."

"I put the team together," I said.

"Aaron, please," said Father. "We're busy. Come back when we have time."

"Okay, I'll be in my room, then."

That was okay, it's not like I expected them to get really excited this early. The game isn't won untiljoin. "Girls, this is Isabel Morelli, the one who brought us together this evening. Isabel, this is Karen Schumaker and I believe you already know Hannah Bae."

Karen reached out and grabbed Isabel's hand, something that Isabel clearly didn't anticipate. "I have wanted to talk to you for so long. Remember winter homecoming last year? Oh, you made such a glamorous entrance. Deep down, I really hoped you could give me some pointers." She laughed. "I'm not good at that kind of thing."

"Uh...okay." Isabel glanced over at me, that old _I need help_ look I've seen so many times before.

I jumped in. "Maybe we should head in. No reason to stand around on the street."

"Of course," said Isabel. "Oh, I always order in advance – you know, get everything


it makes perfect sense to me. I'm not so sure that this jocks vs. nerds rivalry is something that still longer exists, assuming it ever even did. The whole thing is based on stereotypes that originated in 1980's coming–of–age movies – the same movies that we're still watching thirty years later. It's become a cultural memory, something no one saw but everyone remembers.

Ken came up the stairs a few seconds later. "Were you talking to Leonard Vaughn?"

"Yeah."

"Really? Did he want something from you?"

"No." Cultural memories are hard to shake."Did you come up here to tell me something, Ken?"

"Oh, right." Ken dug through his pockets. "I got us all squared away. Took a few notes while I was down there. Some of these teams are going to be tough."

"Thewas in 9th grade, not long after my first experience with Trivia Master, I had this idea that I was going to chronicle every way someone had cheated at the contest. It was partially for my own benefit, partially an attempt to leave something for future classes so that they didn't get caught off guard. I gave up pretty quickly, though. It was around the time I hit page thirty that I realized that I was never going to finish. Every year, someone comes up with a brand new set of dirty tricks. It's gotten to the point that the school doesn't really bother trying to stop anything but the most egregious forms of foul play, because the kids are just too good at inventing new forms.

But here's


a letter or a number – to tweak the results and make them wrong. Next, I have to distribute my very special copies. Time was that I would've had to print them off and drop them in lockers, risking being caught myself. Fortunately, the school made things much easier when they started collecting contact information from all the students. I always thought it was intrusive and unnecessary (and not just because Aaron Bellamy now has my email address) but damned if it doesn't come in handy when you're looking to reach out to the right people. All I have to do is send a few blind emails to a dozen or so people whom I know can't keep a secret, and they'll do the job for me.

This schemegoes as predicted, Aaron will have his wish of a climactic battle in the winner's circle. The school has been eagerly anticipating this for years now. It is very theatrical – the two bitter rivals, fighting and clawing for the chance to see whose skill is the greater. Behind the scenes, it is much less pleasant, and I can barely reckon what fresh horrors are yet to come.

Already, this is affecting the school in ways that I had never anticipated. With most people assuming that the final match will be our team and theirs, the student body is taking sides. Most of the football team is aligned with Paul, while basketball and baseball players favor Aaron. The math league prefers Aaron, except for those who are also in


hell Ken is doing when he breaks out one of his notebooks. Meanwhile, Trevor looked like an absolute wreck, fidgety and disheveled. It looked like he was waiting to be shot.

"Trevor, you okay?"

He sighed deeply. "Duncan's team is going on after us."

"When's the last time you spoke to him?" I said.

"Over the weekend, but that's not the point," he said. "It's like, I just now realized that I might have to play against him. I'm not sure I can deal with that."

I understood his feeling. The day before, someone mentioned that we were slated to face Jane's team in the semifinals. I wasn't sure if I could deal with that. Of course, Trevor's problem was different altogether. Trevor and Duncan have never been on different teams, so therethat I'm very..." There was the sound of scribbling behind me. I turned to Ed. "Do you have to do that?"

"It's relevant." Ed was attacking that memo pad with an unusual fervor. "The story never stops."

"Look, this doesn't have anything to do with the damn contest. Would you back off for a second?"

Ed flipped the memo pad shut. "Okay, I'll just wait in the corner."

I turned back to Duncan. "...As I was saying, I'm really sorry how this all turned out."

"It's not a big deal, okay? Don't take it personal."

"It's hard not to."

"Look, I'm fine, so you should be fine, too. I gotta go but really – don't sweat it." He disappeared into the darkness of the auditorium, leaving me alone with the kid who put me into


"You don't have a social life at all. You never go out anywhere, you definitely don't go on dates. I don't see how you can lecture me."

"That's true."

"And you don't know what's in my head, Ken. You don't have any special insight. I am capable of more than you think."

"Okay, Paul."

"For all you know, I'm gonna call her as soon as we're done."

"Okay, Paul!" Ken was about to laugh. "I get your point. Let's talk about something else."

I won't bore you with the rest of our conversation. Suffice it to say that it didn't involve anything germane to my story – mostly chatter about movies and video games. I was a bit distracted, though. While I'd never admit it to him, Ken had a point. He does thatto say that our first opponents – the Council of Seelie – present no challenge at all. Colette Henshaw, their captain, is a formidable opponent, if rigid in thought and profoundly uncreative. She did concoct an interesting gimmick all her own. Well before the round began, she approached me with a list of names, prattling on about "integrity" and "improprieties" and demanding that I sign her promise not to cheat. Of course, I dismissed her. I would never sign anything that was presented in such bad faith. On the other hand, I must thank her for reminding me that Ron will be recording the rounds. I will have to arrange for a copy so that I may study up on our own weaknesses.

The fleeting moments before the round


or lost, an opportunity appears. There is no such thing as "inevitable."

After that, it's a blur of questions and buzzers and lights. It doesn't coalesce for me until the round ends and I hear Mr. Laubhan's voice over the fray:

"The Raging Nerds win, 290 to 230. Congratulations."

There it is, our first step towards victory. Now it gets hard.

## AARON

A lot of people get nervous before public competitions like Trivia Master. The crowds are intimidating to them. They're afraid of embarrassing themselves in front of everyone they know or making some mistake on the public record. But that kind of neurosis is nothing more than a sign of a weak mind. That tension is born of a fear of failure, which itself is nothing more than a fundamental lackof confidence in one's own skill. I've been performing before crowds since I was seven, and not once did I crack under the pressure. I never let the competition see me sweat, never did anything that would give them that kind of satisfaction. So why should I feel nervous before a round of Trivia Master? Especially a quarterfinal round. Competition at this level is a waist–high wall – it doesn't stop you, it just slows you down.

If anything, what I felt as I walked into that auditorium was joy. As much as I hate what Trivia Master does to the scholastic tradition, I really can't deny that I get some primeval rush out of it. The rest of the year, I'm nothing to them. Those assholes, my "peers"


I said.

"Even the stuff Edward wrote?"

"Yes, I read what he wrote. I talked with him for that piece."

"Why did you do that?" Brian was angry – first time I remember hearing any genuine emotion in his voice.

"Did what? All I did was tell him not to listen to those rumors about everyone cheating. Not like he even used any of my quotes."

"That's not the point!" I could feel the spray from Brian's fat mouth as he harangued me with that angry screech of his. "You know how he writes, he tries to turn everything into some big dramatic story. He could have twisted what you said into whatever he wanted."

"Paul and Ken were talking to him, I wasn't about to let their side be the only one."

"You shouldthe Flying Brains scoring points. I spent the time in the hallway, recalling everything that had happened and pondering just how things had gotten to this point. It was only ten minutes, but it felt like a lot longer. Finally, Ken walked through the doors.

"It's over," he said. "270 to 150."

"A 120–point win? They're gonna be crowing about this."

"We'd better get out of here. Don't want to run into Aaron."

The two of us walked through the silent halls. Behind us, the rest of the student body was filtering out, chattering about the massacre they'd just witnessed. I had no interest in discussing it further, any more than I want to recount it now.

Eventually, Ken turned to me. "Oh, before you take off, I was wondering if you'd mind


a few key upgrades. Tinkering with the speakers to augment their sensitivity. Modifying the battery for extended life. A simple set of alterations, or at least simple for Mr. Fr33kWyzyrd. In my case, only one of the nine recorders survived the operation. For weeks I labored over my device, carefully crafting it in my hours between school and my trivia training. It was a nominal success, and not a pretty beast – held together as it was by copious amounts of duct tape, rubber bands and my own sincere wishes. But it held its shape, and it worked exactly as promised.

The next step took more finesse. I had been keeping tabs on Aaron's movements and schedule since our encounter at the outset of this year's trivia season. Hebeen waiting for years and years for the chance to watch Aaron Bellamy squirm. Well, you ain't getting it. I'm not giving you imbeciles the satisfaction of watching me panic, not for one goddamn second! And the next one of you who comes out with a stupid little question or remark will suffer, this much I promise!"

That shut them up, although it didn't stop the staring. Then I saw that weasel Davis Racossi step towards me. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, you got it all wrong."

I leaned in close to him. "So it's blackmail from you now?"

Davis shook his head. "I think what they want to know, the reason for all the questions, is that this an interesting situation. Am I right?" There were heads nodding all around him. "Because


odds are not much better than mine, though I would be a fool to shatter his confidence by saying this aloud. He certainly does not require any more stress than has already been placed on his shoulders.

And the tension here has reached new heights. My focus on victory had grown so tight that I failed to notice a blurb about our competition on the website of Aukland's Unofficial. As a result, agents from several publications and leagues have come to Solace in hopes of seeing the public premiere of the next scion of the Mara clan. There will be important eyes on us today, and even more awaiting the footage which will no doubt be journeying across the digital void within minutes of the round's termination.

the majority but wrote a separate opinion questioning whether prosecutors in Thompson's case actually violated their constitutional duties, even though the DA's office conceded that they did.

The court's four liberal justices —Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor— dissented. Ginsburg took the unusual step of reading parts of her long, impassioned dissent from the bench.

Ginsburg, whose outrage at the majority decision was palpable, pointed specifically to Connick's role: "Ample evidence presented at the civil rights trial demonstrated that Connick's deliberately indifferent attitude created a tinderbox in which Brady violations were nigh inevitable," she said, referring to a 1963 case, Brady v. Maryland, in which the court said prosecutors must inform defendants of evidence that points to their innocence.

She warned that such violations are "bound tobe repeated unless municipal agencies bear responsibility" for making sure prosecutors follow the rules. "What happened here ... was no momentary oversight, no single incident of a lone officer's misconduct," she wrote.

New Orleans District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro acknowledged that Thompson's case was not handled properly, but said New Orleans' taxpayers should not be on the hook for the "intentional criminal misconduct" of the individual prosecutors who broke the rules.

Cannizzaro, who was elected in 2008, said prosecutors now get regular training. "We want to win our cases by obtaining legal convictions, constitutional convictions," he said.

of a production. A report conducted by the Asian American Performers Action Coalition provides raw statistical evidence for racism witnessed on the Broadway stage.

“On Broadway in the 2014-15 season, numbers for minority actors dropped to 22 percent of all roles from 24 percent the previous year. Despite Asian numbers increasing from 2 percent to 11 percent (largely due to the Lincoln Center revival of The King and I, which was responsible for employing more than half of all Asians hired in the industry) and Latino representation increasing slightly from 1 percent to 2 percent, numbers for African-American actors suffered a severe drop, from 21 percent in the 2013-14 season to only 9 percent in the latest year, one of the worst showings on record and leading to anet loss for the Broadway industry as a whole.”

These numbers help gage the lack of representation of minorities on Broadway, however there is still more racism beyond just these figures.

An article published by The Huffington Post speaks to the racism seen in the casting of the hit Broadway show, Aladdin. The Disney musical production, which is based entirely in the fictional Arabian city of Agrabah, is composed of a 34-person cast which contains absolutely no people of Middle Eastern decent. In defense, the production company claimed to use the method of “colorblind casting.” At this point, the article states:

“Critics of colorblind casting argue that the practice exacerbates, rather than corrects for, the demographic imbalances that already exist in the world of theater.”

Especially after the development of the most recent presidential election in the United States, racism and racial inequality have been particularly hot topics for a majority of Americans. Taking a sociological standpoint, this blog series will focus on the topic of racial diversity – or rather, lack there of – specifically in the performing arts industry, ranging from the misrepresentation of minority racial groups in media, to the concept of racially-blind casting in various productions.

Racial diversity is very significant in its controversial manner and relevancy in modern performing arts all over the world, including in local performances in North Carolina. This blog will shed light on these issues, bringing up specific instances of both when racial diversity has been accomplished within the cast andwhen it has not. It will also discuss the many different opinions of theater-going audience members, casting directors, actors, and actresses regarding the issue.

Below is a picture from the critically acclaimed, Tony-award winning Broadway musical, Hamilton, which has recently been in the spotlight. This attention has not only been earned due to its groundbreaking script and score, but also for extremely racially diverse cast. It has created a platform for the issue of racial discrimination in the casting process, forming an excellent opportunity for people to discuss the issue in an open setting.

Despite the efforts of many people to set racism and lack racial diversity to rest, they are still abundant in everyday life, the discussion of which is an important one to be had. By focusing on

This case involves an appeal in accordance with the provisions of R.C.M. 1947, section 70-128. It is from an order of the defendant, Public Service Commission of Montana (hereinafter called Commission), granting to the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company (hereinafter called Company), an increase in the rates and charges to the company's intrastate telephone users in the State of Montana. This appeal is brought by the attorney general of the State of Montana, the relator, on behalf of the State of Montana.
On March 23, 1953, the Company filed with the Commission an application requesting an increase in rates and charges for service rendered by it within the State of Montana. Hearings on said application, after notice had been given, commenced on May 18,1953, and continued until May 21, 1953. On August 7, 1953, the Commission by its Order No. 2396, granted the Company an increase in rates effective September 1, 1953, but denied a part of the rate increase sought by the Company.
After its petition for rehearing and reconsideration was denied, the plaintiff filed its complaint on November 5, 1953.
The matter came on for trial on its merits on August 23, 1955. The defendant Company filed a cross complaint to which the plaintiff interposed an answer, and the trial on the cross complaint was also held on August 23, 1955. The court entered its judgment in favor of the defendants on the plaintiff's cause of action and dismissed the cross complaint of the defendant Company on November 21, 1955. Judgment

The Commission's Order No. 2396 shows that the Commission reviewed the history of the Company, its revenues, expenses, taxes and earnings for the years 1952 and 1953 from evidence given by the Company as well as other parties, and the authorities relied upon before coming to its conclusion.

Finney, who died Thursday in London at the age of 82, was envisioned for the role of Churchill in “Storm” from the outset, according to producer Colin Callender, who ran HBO’s movies and miniseries department at the time Ridley Scott’s Scott Free Productions made “Storm.”

The movie tells the story of Churchill’s return from political exile in Britain during the 1930s, as he continually sounds the alarm about the growing Nazi menace in Germany. Vanessa Redgrave played Churchill’s wife, Clementine, in the movie that is rooted in the strength of their love and her influence on his life.

bride"

Indo-European *Hwedh 'carry off by force; capture a bride', which coexisted with another term for marriage related to the terminology of exchange (*toH give take, including 'give or take a wife')eventually lost its original meaning 'abduct' in the individual historical dialects and became the general word for marriage so that other derivatives pertaining to the terminology of marriage as exchange were derived from it.This is the source of derivatives in * -mno- referring to wedding as exchange eg Horner'c greek hedna edna w'ch means wedding gifts; compensation(paid by the groom to the bride or her father)dowry wednitis 'father of the bride; one who gives out distributes' ewedn I give out distribute furnish with dowry old english weotoma wituma wetma 'bride price' old high germanic widomo widemo 'dowry' cfhittite kusata 'wedding compensation'(for the etymology cf. Gk. kusthos 'female genitalia') The same change of meaning from 'marriage by force or abduction' to 'marriage by exchange' is visible in Avestan, where both meanings are found in the same verb viioaya-, depending on the preverb: upa-viioaya- 'give a woman in marriage' and us-viioaya- 'kidnap, abduct a woman'.

The fact that there is evidence of two forms of marriage among the ancient Indo-Europeans - marriage as part of the exchange system and marriage by abduction - may reflect certain aspects of the social structure of the IndoEuropean tribes at the time of their breakup and migration to new territories and consequent contact with foreign tribes. The basic form of intermarriage with foreign tribes in such circumstances could have been abduction, while


Oxford, Ohio (June) – With much sadness, the 2020 U.S. Open College Beer Championship has been canceled due to COVID-19/Corona Virus. We will make an announcement in January on the 2021 U.S. Open College Beer Championship dates.

Sincerely,

Dow, Jon, and Carla

The U.S. Open College Beer Championship is for colleges and universities that teach brewing courses. This competition was held to help determine the best future brewers in North America. Any college or university that offers courses in brewing could enter the U.S. Open. All beers were submitted by one of the school’s brewing professors/instructors. The beers could be brewed on any system on or off campus that is approved by the professors/instructors.

The 2019 competition had 5 categories: Belgian, Bavarian, Stout, IPA, and Open. The Open category is where studentscould enter any style of beer they wanted to brew.

In the fourth year of this competition, fourteen colleges and universities from the United States and Canada participated. Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) in British Columbia took home the Grand National Championship as the college that brews the best beers in North America. This Canadian university took home gold for their 50/50 Hefe and their Fruity and the Yeast New England India Pale Ale plus a silver for their Storm Stout.

The KPU students responsible for the school’s championship performance were Joe Mallinson, Kyle Grohs, Danilo Chiga, Felipe Freire, Wes Bain, and Daryl McDonald. Alek Egi was the submitting professor. Schoolcraft College came in second, while Kalamazoo Valley Community College, Auburn University, and Central Michigan tied for third.

The corrections department disclosed new details of his last moments in a letter to the state governor.

It shows that Lockett fought with guards attempting to remove him from his cell on the morning of his execution.

He was subsequently shocked with a stun gun and taken to a prison infirmary, where a cut said to be self-inflicted was treated.

The intravenous line was placed in Lockett’s groin and covered with a sheet, according to prisons director Robert Patton’s letter to Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin, which included a detailed timeline.

It became dislodged and was not discovered until 21 minutes after the execution began and all the lethal drugs had been administered.

Lockett was sentenced to death for shooting 19-year-old Stephanie Neiman and watching as two accomplices buried her alive in 1999.

Ms Neiman and a friend had interrupted the men as they robbed a home.

The problems surrounding Lockett’s execution come amid a wider debate over the legality of the three-drug method and whether its use violates guarantees in the US constitution “against cruel and unusual punishment”.

US states have encountered increasing problems in obtaining the drugs for lethal injections, amid an embargo by European pharmaceutical firms.

The triple-drug cocktail, first used in Texas in 1982, has become the standard execution method in the US.

It was presented as a more humane replacement for lethal gas and the electric chair, but critics of the three-drug protocol say it could cause unnecessary suffering.

1893, undated

Owen Wister (1860-1938) was a prominent
American writer during the late 1800s and early 1900s. He is best known for his
western stories, particularly his novel The Virginian: A
Horseman of the Plains (1902). The collection includes 115 images taken
by Wister during his trip to Texas in 1893. Dates covered are 1893, undated.
Prominent in the collection are Texas ranch scenes from the Savage, Colton and
Conover ranches, as well as the San Antonio missions of Concepción de Acuña and San
José. Subjects covered include cowboys, horses, polo ponies, polo players and games,
stables, architecture, the San Fernando cathedral in San Antonio, towns, residents,
and landscape.

Owen Wister was born in Germantown (now part of Philadelphia), Pennsylvania, on July 14, 1860
to a distinguished family.


His father, Dr. Owen Jones Wister, was a physician, and
his mother, Sarah Butler, was a magazine writer. His mother was the daughter of
English actress, Fanny Kemble, and Pierce Butler, who was a descendant of the
Butlers of South Carolina who signed the Constitution of the United States. An only
child, Wister studied at boarding schools in New England and Switzerland before
enrolling in St. Paul's School in Concord, New Hampshire in 1873. He entered Harvard
in 1878, where he developed a reputation for musical composition and dramatic
writing. Wister also made lifelong friends at Harvard, most prominently future
President Theodore Roosevelt, future Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes,
and future Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. He graduated in 1882, and spent a year
studying music and trying for a career as a composer in Paris. He returnedhome in
1883 to take a position at the Union Safe Deposit Vault computing interest. A year
later, he returned to Harvard for a law degree and graduated in 1888. He was
admitted to the Philadelphia Bar and briefly practiced law at Francis Rawle's law
firm.

In 1885, he suffered an illness and was advised by his doctor, Dr. Silas Weir Mitchell, to
travel west to restore his health. He traveled to Wyoming and spent the summer at
the V.R. Ranch of Major Frank Wolcott. He began to regain his health and became
interested in the American West. Wister made five trips to the West between 1885 and
1891. He kept an account of his observations and interactions in diaries, which
provided material for his western works. In 1891, Owen Wister wrote his first two
western short stories: Hank's


Woman and How Lin McLean Went East. Both of these stories appeared
in Harper's Weekly. Encouraged by the success of these
stories, he gave up law and became a full-time writer in 1893. In February 1893,
Wister and a friend, Harry C. Groome, made a trip to Texas, where they remained till
the latter part of March. They were met at Brownwood, Texas, by Wister's friends
from Philadelphia, Fitzhugh Savage and Frank Conover. From Brownwood, they drove to
Brady City (now Brady), and from there to Savage's ranch, Seven Springs. Though the
trip was for pleasure, Wister spent considerable time riding about the country,
talking to old cowhands and compiling a dictionary of Texas vocabulary. In addition,
he took pictures of life on the Savage, Conover and Colton ranches, polo ponies,
polo players and games, the cowboy bachelorexperience, informal portraits, the
landscape of neighboring areas, and several San Antonio missions.

He began work on his novel The Virginian: A Horseman of the
Plains, in 1901. It is believed that at least one chapter of this book
came directly from a tale about baby swapping told to him by a Texas cowboy during
his Texas trip. The book, published in 1902, sold nearly 200,000 copies its first
year. Wister also adapted it successfully for Broadway. At least five movies and one
television series have since been made, and the book has never been out of print.
His novel is believed by some to be the template on which every western since has
been cut. Wister had a prolific literary career but had other interests as well. In
1908, he unsuccessfully ran for a seat on the


Philadelphia City Council. He was a
member of Harvard University's Board of Overseers and president of both the Library
Company of Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Club. He also received honorary degrees
from the University of Pennsylvania (1907), Williams College (1912), and Duke
University (1915).

Wister married his second cousin, Mary Channing, in 1898. His wife was a member of
the Philadelphia board of education, a founder of the Civic Club of Philadelphia,
and defender of women's rights. They had six children. She died in 1913. Wister died at his summer home in Saunderstown, Rhode Island on July 21,
1938.

Owen Wister (1860-1938) was a prominent American writer during the late 1800s and early 1900s.
He is best known for his western stories, particularly his novel The Virginian: A Horseman of the Plains (1902). The
collection comprises 115 images takenby Wister during his trip to Texas in 1893.
Dates covered are 1893, undated. The collection was presented to the State Archives
by his daughter, Mrs. (Walter) Frances Kemble Wister Stokes, in 1969 in two batches.
The first batch included 91 mounted vintage snapshot pictures, and reflect titles
and numbers provided by Wister in his own handwriting. Supplementary information has
been added in brackets. The second originally comprised of 24 cellulose nitrate
negatives exposed by Wister during his travels to Texas, the West and Southwest.
Modern prints were made from the negatives by the State Archives' contract
photographer, Bill Malone. The prints also include three duplicates of images from
the first batch. Copy negatives have since been made from the modern prints.
Prominent in the collection are Texas ranch scenes from the Savage, Colton and
Conover ranches, and the


San Antonio missions of Concepción de Acuña and San José.
Subjects covered include cowboys, horses, polo ponies, polo players and games,
stables, architecture, the San Fernando cathedral in San Antonio, towns, residents,
and landscape. A large part of the landscape pictures are believed to have been
taken in Texas, while the rest depicting more mountainous terrain could have been
taken in either Arizona or Wyoming. While in Texas, Wister stayed at the Seven
Springs ranch near Brady City that belonged to his friend from Philadelphia,
Fitzhugh Savage.

Images from the collection will be added to the forthcoming prints and photographs database,
which will soon be available on the Texas State Library and Archives Commission
website. An internal list of the images is available from the State Archives until
the images are online.

For nearly 63 years, Bill and Maggie Ehling had been inseparable, dating back to their military days in the 1950s when the two first met in Germany.

Maggie, who was born in Brunswick County and grew up in New Jersey, was in the Women’s Army Corps, otherwise known as WACs. Bill, who grew up in the Philadelphia area, was an Army man and party animal who was soon tamed by his Margaret Rose, the woman he married about a year later.

National Transportation Safety Board investigators concluded Bostian lost his bearings while distracted by radio chatter about an incident with a nearby train. They found no evidence Bostian was impaired or using a cellphone.

Bostian, 34, remains free on bail but must give up his passport and call court officials weekly. He opted not to attend his Feb. 21 arraignment.

Bostian's lawyers declined to comment on the ruling. They've argued before that his speeding was a momentary lapse from an otherwise safety-conscious engineer.

Bostian has been on unpaid leave from Amtrak since the crash. He is suing the government-owned railroad, alleging he was left disoriented or


unconscious when something struck his train before it derailed.

NTSB investigators have said nothing struck the locomotive.

Amtrak has taken responsibility for the crash and agreed to pay $265 million to settle civil claims filed by victims and their families.

The railroad also has installed positive-train control technology that can automatically slow or stop a speeding train on its track from Boston to Washington.

The technology wasn't in place when Bostian's train crashed and is still missing on third-party tracks Amtrak uses in other parts of the country. It wasn't in place on tracks where deadly crashes occurred in South Carolina on Sunday and in Washington State in December.

Pennsylvania's attorney general picked up the criminal case against Bostian last May, as a statute of limitations loomed. City prosecutors said their decision notto prosecute Bostian left them unable to take up the criminal complaint from the family of crash victim Rachel Jacobs.

Jacobs, the head of a Philadelphia-based technology startup, was returning home to her husband and 2-year-old son in New York when she was killed. She was 39.

"We see no extenuating circumstances," Kline said. "Mr. Bostian had one job and one job only on that day, which was to get the train from Point A to Point B and to carry those passengers safely. He did not do that. He has no excuse for the speeding on the tracks that day."


This cross-section of a tunnel in the planned disposal facility under Yucca Mountain in the Nevada desert, shows three types of waste container: fuel assemblies for pressurised water reactors and boiling water reactors (in the foreground and background), and high-level waste packages (in the middle). Note the titanium drip shields designed to protect the containers against water dripping from the tunnel roof. Although Yucca Mountain is subject to a desert climate, layers of tuff (compacted ash) are not as impermeable as clay. This was one of the reasons for which the project was abandoned.Contesting Udit Raj's contentions

Our surfer 'checkmates' some of the points raised in favour of quota.

Udit Raj in his write up (in HT Platform article "Some merit to quotas" June 6, 2006) has argued that there is a danger that some rich people belonging to the upper castes would enjoy the benefits of reservations if the same were introduced on economic basis.

But he comfortably forgets that the super Dalits (the government employees, elected representatives and income tax assesses) have been usurping the caste-based quota meant for real Dalits.

He takes it for granted that being a Dalit (scheduled caste) means that one is malnourished, underprivileged and poor.

He was in the elitist Indian Revenue Service (IRS) and is by no means underprivileged or downtrodden. Why doesn't he claim it openly that

Redondo Beach.President Obama will return 5 percent of his salary to the Treasury Department, a senior White House official tells ABC News, a sign of solidarity with the federal workers who face furloughs due to the sequester cuts.

"The president has decided that to share in the sacrifice being made by public servants across the federal government that are affected by the sequester, he will contribute a portion of his salary back to the Treasury," a White House aide said.

The president's salary is set by law at $400,000 a year, and he will give back about $20,000 this year. The 5 percent cut is the same reduction level that non-defense federal agencies took when the sequester started.

Obama's total income according to his 2011 tax returns was $789,674. That figure includes
