seen the tweets – for getting every penny that the market could generate. It's a fraternity.

Apparently, to Melo, Jeremy Lin is not in the fraternity. Or at least, Lin's place in it is dubious enough that he has not earned the omerta that every other player gets. Anybody wanna try to convince me it has zero to do with Lin being Asian-American?
Because, and let's cut to the quick, Carmelo Anthony never ever would've made that remark about a black NBA player's contract, and I doubt that he ever would've said it about a white player's, either. If Melo thought that Lin was being wildly overpaid but still, fundamentally, belonged in the club, he would've kept his mouth shut. He didn't because he doesn't.

From the beginning, Melo has alwaysgreat deal for the Rockets, who get a bargain for two years and at worst an expiring contract / trade asset in the third. It arguably would've been ridiculous for the Knicks because of luxury-tax implications, but when you have the Knicks' contract history to defend, and Jim Dolan's bottomless wealth, what exactly does ridiculous mean? Before you answer, consider that in the last year of Carmelo's deal alone, he will make … $24 million. Let's hope he's won more than one playoff game for the Knicks by then. The average salary in the NBA is a bit over $5 million. Lin's contract classifies him as "above average." Is paying Lin the salary of an above average NBA player really "ridiculous"? So ridiculous that he should be called


It does not pierce his bubble. It stirs no emotion in him. He doesn't understand what it means for millions of people in this country, and around the world, to watch the first Asian-American superstar athlete excel on the highest stage, and what it means to have that player wearing the uniform of his team. The pride, the joy, the inspiration, the transformative effect it can have on an entire generation of kids.

That stuff is real. It only becomes hokey when people like me try to capture it with words on a page. If Dolan got that, he never would've let the Lin situation unravel over scratch money (to him, anyway) and petty animus. He would've sat the kid down, talked it out, buried the hatchet. And thenarrived as a team to talk about. If nothing else, they're recognized as one to admire, not just nebulously fear. You would expect at least that much for a squad that finished with the NBA's best record. But this isn't about numbers. It's about relevance. People are talking about the Spurs. That never happens.

James Goldstein isn't just another basketball fan. A Lakers season ticket holder since 1961, you may have seen him sitting with Kanye West during fashion week, noticed his house on the cover of Architectural Digest, or read about his romance with Jayne Mansfield. He keeps the specifics of his wealth and power vague, but his clout is unmistakable. Always courtside, draped in couture and topped off with those signature wide brimmed hats, he's recognizable during


any broadcast. During the regular season, Goldstein attends practices and press conferences, even occasionally popping up in the locker room. During the NBA Playoffs, he criss-crosses the map, attending as many games as possible and constantly reminding us how enmeshed he is in the league's fabric. It's not even surprising to watch Lakers coach Mike Brown address him from the podium, as he did Wednesday night. There's been much written about Jimmy, but it's still rare to hear from the man himself. So GQ asked him to check in with us periodically during this year's playoffs and tell us about his experiences. This is his first dispatch.

The Bryant-Fisher family reunion celebrates an important milestone in 2017—its 100th anniversary. The three-day reunion event will conclude with a final day of festivities in Elmwood Park.

The “Dozens of Cousins,” named for the 12 branches of the prodigious African-American family, will gather in Omaha on Sunday, Aug. 13, to eat, converse, and renew bonds of kinship while reinvigorating ties to local neighborhood roots.

The first reunion was a picnic in 1917 held at Mandan Park in South Omaha, where family roots run deep. Mandan hosted the picnic for 74 years. Its trails, gardens, and river views offered scenic backdrops. The park is also near the family’s homestead at 15th Street and Berry Avenue, and Graceland Park Cemetery (where many relatives are buried).

The picnic, which goes on rain


or shine, relocated to Carter Lake in the 1990s and has since gone to various locales. It is coming to Elmwood Park for the first time this year.

Hours before the picnic, a dawn fish fry kicks things off. With bellies full of fried food, the descendants of Emma Early head for a family worship service followed by the picnic.

The family’s different branches provide tents under which they set up their family feasts. Monique Henry belongs to the Gray tent and says everyone waits for her first cousin Danielle Nauden’s peach cobbler to arrive on the table.

The meals may be the highlight, but the day also includes games, foot races, a dance contest, and a pie/cake baking contest, which Henry says is mainly for the teenagers. The baking contestpossibly have been a girl, and I whipped off my cap like, ‘I’m a girl!’”

Although the large family has expanded and dispersed across Omaha and nationwide—and descendants of Emma Early Bryant-Fisher now number in the thousands—the picnic has remained in Omaha the second Sunday of August as a perennial ties-that-bind feast.

Union returns as her schedule allows. The actress grew up in northeast Omaha, attending St. Benedict the Moor. She often visited relatives in South O, where the home of matriarch Emma (a street is named after her) remained in the family.

Union introduced NBA superstar husband Dwyane Wade to the reunion last year. “It was important for me for Dwyane to come experience it,” she says. “No one I know has a family reunion of the scale, scope, and


“O Sole Mio.”

Like their love, the restaurant has endured. August marks 25 years for the venture that embodies their passion and lifelong dream.

The couple, who met at Central High School, both come from restaurant families and began their restaurant careers at age 14. Don was head chef at a large country club by the time he was only 21.

In 1975, the couple opened their first restaurant, Losole’s Landmark, a favorite with the downtown lunch crowd. A job opportunity briefly took the family to California a few years later, but they soon realized the West Coast was not a good fit for them.

After their return to Omaha, Don worked on the supply side of the restaurant industry while Marie began creating dishes for delivery, a side business that “prettyhe says it “looked like an unfixable wreck…It sat in a forest for 40 years.” The bus had changed owners many times since Adair’s initial possession. It had served many roles: from family van, to television sales vehicle, to being a storage container.

Adair rescued the abandoned, rusting, and hopelessly immobile Beep Beep from an Iowa forest in 2014. Long before that time, Beep Beep carried Adair and his wife, Rosemarie, across Germany during their 1960 honeymoon.

Beep Beep was “born in Hanover (Germany), same as Rosemarie,” says Adair. He purchased the vehicle on behalf of his father with the agreement that he could use the bus on his wedding trip in Europe.

Beep Beep’s first outing was in the Swiss Alps. After the honeymoon, Adair relinquished Beep Beep to his


a show choir kid at Benson High. At age 14, he came out as gay to his family, “who were cool with it.” He left home during his senior year, “making a stink about being grown,” and followed friends to UNL, where almost no one knew he wasn’t enrolled or that he got by sleeping in cars. Bad checks led to prison.

That was before 2009. Now he is one of the metro’s most celebrated R&B recording artists and a prominent activist. Morgan recently headlined at the Baltimore Pride Celebration, which he described as a highlight of his career.

Morgan is involved at various levels with the Gay Lesbian & Straight Education Network, Queer Nebraska Youth Network, the NAACP, Urban League Young Professionals, Metro Omaha Tobacco Action Coalition, and theOmaha Entertainment and Arts Awards. He founded Queer People of Color (QPOC), a group whose focus is providing diverse, local role models for LGBTQIA youth.

An unguarded man expressing his pain and hope on- and off-stage, Morgan brought himself and his fans to tears during an acoustic set with Kevin Sullivan of Bells and Whistles during the 2015 OEAA nominee showcase at Reverb Lounge. His album, Loveaholics Anonymous, is a well-received tribute to the highs and lows of romance, earning him three nominations for best R&B artist, album of the year, and artist of the year. A holiday album, Dom’s Favorite Things, launched in late 2015. If the past is prologue, the next act for this Omaha original could be biblical. What comes after a year like that?

However, as a younger child, Valentine’s Day did not seem to fit into that religious holiday category. February 14th, skipped over as a feast day by most, is originally known as St. Valentine’s Day.

St. Valentine was a Christian priest in the third century, living in Rome. The Roman emperor at that time, Claudius II, decided that single men would be more useful for fighting, not falling in love. He issued a law forbidding the marriage of any young man. Valentine would not put up with this new rule, so he began to perform marriages in secret. Unfortunately, Claudius II found out about Valentine and put him to death.

Now, Valentine’s Day is known as a holiday celebrating love. Not much is remembered about the famous martyr and even lessby: Mounir Tarek, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), France

dispute. In the summer of 1992, Harris and his wife Lynda began having marital difficulties. Following an apparently unsuccessful attempt at reconciliation, Harris, who had been hospitalized for emotional problems and substance abuse several times before and during his marriage to Lynda, was admitted to the State Hospital twice for treatment. During Harris's second stay at the State Hospital, Lynda advised him she was leaving him but would not disclose where she intended to live.
After Harris left the State Hospital the second time, he made a reservation for two nights under a fictitious name at a mountain lodge in Tennessee. He apparently discovered where Lynda was staying and went to her home in the early morning hours on October 15, 1992. Once he noticed the lights in Lynda'sapartment were on, he placed provisions for the trip into the trunk of Lynda's car. Harris also had with him a set of handcuffs, a rope, and a toy gun. He hid in the car trunk and waited for Lynda to enter the car to drive to work that day.
When Lynda started the car, Harris entered the car's interior from the trunk through the back seat. Harris eventually gained control of the car, but Lynda was later able to attract the attention of a police officer by blowing the horn. The police officer called for backup, and another officer arrived within minutes. The police officers charged Harris at the scene with a minor traffic offense, secured his arrest, and took him into custody. After further investigation, the police


officers arrested Harris for kidnapping.

Harris first alleges the trial court erred in excluding testimony from Veronique Aniel, Harris's counselor and case manager at the Dorchester Mental Health Center, concerning her opinion of Harris's state of mind when the incident occurred. He maintains *435 this testimony, if allowed, would have supported a verdict of guilty but mentally ill. We find no error.
Aniel testified before the jury without objection she had been Harris's therapist since September 17, 1992, about one month before the incident in question. She further testified Harris telephoned her October 14, 1992, to reschedule an appointment he had with her October 15, 1992, but since the incident had kept his appointments.
The record reflects a bench conference then took place. The trial court then held an in camerahearing in which Harris proffered Aniel's educational and professional credentials and her opinion on Harris's state of mind at the time of the incident. The state objected to this testimony on the ground Aniel had not been qualified as a psychologist or psychiatrist. The trial court sustained the objection, but allowed Harris to present this testimony in the jury's absence for the purpose of proffer.
During the in camera hearing, Aniel testified she received a master's degree in clinical counseling from The Citadel, had been working at the Dorchester Mental Health Center for four years, and had been treating Harris for six months as of the time of trial. In response to counsel's question about her opinion of Harris's state of mind at the time of the incident, Aniel


Factors associated with growth faltering in children from rural Saudi Arabia.
Recent studies on the growth of children in Saudi Arabia have revealed that children under two years of age suffer from faltering growth when compared with the American reference population. The present study aims to identify parental and child characteristics associated with faltering growth among the children in a rural area of Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional study of all women with a child less than three years of age in a rural community in NorthWestern part of Saudi Arabia was undertaken. Anthropometric measurements, socio-demographic and fertility variables were collected using a structured questionnaire. The indicators of growth were derived from the data and univariate and logistic models fitted to determine potential risk factors.

A 53-year-old Christie White, a leukemia-stricken San Francisco woman, is the lead patient in a lawsuit.

Ms. White seeks the law allowing terminally ill patients to die at their own choosing. Earlier this week, she told that she wants to be able to gather her loved ones and meet her death with peace of mind, when and if the time comes.

Lawyers for White and three other patients, in a lawsuit filed on Wednesday in San Francisco Superior Court, noted that mental health professional draw a significant distinction between aid-in-dying and suicide – citing a 1997 statement by the American Psychological Association.

Job cuts have plagued another retailer as J. Crew Group has reportedly laid off dozens of employees from its New York corporate headquarters.

The news was confirmed to Women’s Wear Daily by the company, which said it had “reduced a limited number of filled and open positions” at its headquarters, which it said only affected the J. Crew brand.

According to reports, the J. Crew brand is struggling as it only opened one store in the last quarter and has plans in place to close another 20 J. Crew and factory stores.

In the last year, the company has undergone a shake up of its executive team and has seen CEO James Brett depart in November after just over a year in the position.

The bill, re-introduced in February by state Sen. Daylin Leach, D-Montgomery, would allow for the use, regulation and taxing of marijuana in the state. As long as the GOP controls both houses of the Legislature, few expect the bill to pass. And it's unlikely Republican Gov. Tom Corbett would sign it.

It is undisputed that the family ties between the sisters and their families were close, pleasant and harmonious up until a short time prior to the commencement of this action. It is undisputed, by any of the parties, that they visited weekly, if not daily, and that both of the aunts were solicitous as to the welfare of the Kirkum children, bringing them gifts, buying them clothing, seeing that they had needed medical attention.

Sgt. Maj. James Sartor, 40, died Saturday in the country’s northern Faryab Province, U.S. Army Special Operations spokesman Lt. Col. Loren Bymer said in a statement.

Additional details about Sartor’s death were not immediately available.

Sartor, of Teague, Texas, was assigned to the 10th Special Forces Group in Fort Carson, Colorado, Bymer said. He deployed to Iraq as an infantryman in 2002 and later as a Green Beret. Sartor had served in Afghanistan twice — once in 2017 and again this year.

Sartor, who went by "Ryan," joined the Army in June, 2001, and was given more than 20 awards and decorations during his military career. He will posthumously receive a Purple Heart and Bronze Star,


Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte ran a death squad that killed many people, including a journalist and a pregnant woman, when he was mayor of a southern city, a retired policeman who claimed to be part of the group said Monday.

Arthur Lascanas, sitting alongside three prominent human rights lawyers, broke down in tears as he listed a series of murders in Davao city that he alleged Duterte ordered either to eliminate critics or fight crime.

Lascanas said he even killed his two brothers, who were involved in drug trafficking, due to "blind loyalty" to Duterte as well as cash rewards.

"Whether we buried them (bodies) or dumped them at sea, we were always paid by Mayor Rody Duterte," Lascanas said.

Duterte has been repeatedly accused of running death squads during his morethan two decades as Davao mayor, and expanding on those tactics as president in waging a war on drugs that has claimed thousands of lives.

Duterte has over the years variously denied and confirmed the existence of a Davao death squad, and claimed to have personally killed people to set an example for police.

However presidential spokesman Martin Anadanar on Monday rejected all of Lascanas's claims.

"The press conference of self-confessed hitman Arthur Lascanas is part of a protracted political drama aimed to destroy the president and to topple his administration," Andanar said in a statement.

In one of the most chilling accounts, Lascanas said he and other policemen abducted a suspected kidnapper but also took his seven-month pregnant wife, his four or five-year-old son, his son-in-law and two house helpers.

"Mayor Rody


Duterte gave us the signal: "go ahead, clean them up," he said.

"In this case, evil prevailed. They killed the entire family in front of me, using a calibre .22 with silencer."

He said Duterte also paid him and other policemen three million pesos ($60,000) for killing in 2003 prominent radio broadcaster Jun Pala, a critic of the then-mayor.

A self-confessed hitman last year told a Senate inquiry that Lascanas was a leader of the Davao death squad that killed more than 1,000 people.

Story continues

Lascanas, when he was still a policeman, initially denied to the Senate inquiry that he was involved.

But, after retiring from the police force in December, Lascanas said his conscience dictated he should now tell the truth and confess to being part of the death squads.

Duterte, 71, wonpresidential elections last year after promising during the campaign to eradicate drugs in society by killing tens of thousands of people.

He immediately launched the drug war after taking office on June 30, and more than 6,500 people have died in the crackdown in what Amnesty International has said may amount to crimes against humanity.

     Florida death row inmate George James Trepal appeals the district   In June 1988, Pye Carr received an anonymous letter stating, “You and all

your so-called family have two weeks to move out of Florida forever or else you

will all die. This is no joke.” The letter was postmarked in nearby Bartow,

Florida. Even though Pye’s home was in Alturas, the letter correctly listed Pye’s

mailing address as being in Bartow, Florida. Pye’s and Trepal’s homes, both in

Alturas, had Bartow mailing addresses because they got their mail on the Bartow

post office route. Trepal would know this fact.

       On October 23, 1988, Peggy Carr began to show symptoms of an unknown

illness, including nausea, pain in her chest and extremities, and difficulty

breathing. She was admitted to Bartow Memorial Hospital the next day and stayed

The residents of the apartment spent time in the “main” house, too.

      Atthe Carrs’ home, investigators recovered an 8-pack of 16-ounce glass

Coca-Cola bottles from the kitchen. Three bottles were full and four were empty.7

The HRS and FBI Laboratories tested and found thallium in the three full bottles

and thallium residue in the four empty bottles. The bottle caps from the three full

bottles showed evidence of having been removed by a small tool and then placed

back onto the bottles with a press or capping device. The investigation became a

criminal one.

      In December 1988, investigators interviewed Trepal. When asked why

anyone would want to poison the Carrs, Trepal said that perhaps someone wanted

them to move out of their home. Investigators found Trepal’s response eerily

similar to the threatening letter. Police later learned Trepal had a college degree in

chemistry and in


the Mensa murder weekend, Agent Goreck, as Sherry

Guin, went to Trepal’s home, ostensibly about buying it. Goreck visited Trepal

several more times in May and June 1989. Goreck became friends with Trepal and

his wife and learned, among other things, that Trepal was very interested in botany

There were at least four or five boxes of chemicals and chemical bottles and other

chemistry items. Some of the chemicals were in brown bottles like the bottle

police found in Trepal’s garage.

       Adams asked Trepal what he was doing with the chemistry items, and

Trepal replied, “I’m a chemist. I intend to set up a laboratory in the garage.”

Trepal also had an antique-type bottle capper, which is used to affix metal caps

onto glass bottles. Trepal told Adams he sometimes made wine for himself and

capped the wine bottles.

       Third, Trepal’s chemistry collection at the time of his arrest included many

exotic and dangerous chemicals. Scott Ryland, an analytical chemist for the

Florida Department of Law Enforcement, analyzed various chemicals that were


 In March 1988, Trepal called the zoning board to complain about the Carrs

converting their garage to an apartment, which Trepal claimed violated the zoning

ordinance. A county codes inspector issued the Carrs a notice of violation for

building without a permit, and Pye later got a permit.

      One day in September 1988, Gelena’s former husband Ronald Chester was

working on his truck and had the radio on. Trepal asked Chester to turn the radio

down because Trepal was reading a book. Trepal was shaking and “acted like he

was upset.” Chester turned the radio down, and “like two minutes later” Trepal

came and again told Chester to turn the radio down, even though the radio was not

      Both Trepal’s and the Carrs’ houses had their water supplied by wells. On

occasion, each home had to share water by hooking up to the other’s well. In early

October 1988, at which time one of the wells was supplying water to both houses,

Trepal came over to the Carrs’ home to complain about their radio playing outside.

Pye told Trepal they would turn the radio off soon. Trepal left, and they did so.

Later Travis turned the radio back on while washing his car, and Trepal again

complained. Pye told Trepal that Travis was “just listening to

Mugabe warns opposition that a pen cant fight a gun

London, June 17 (ANI): Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe has indicated clearly for the first time that he will disregard the result of the upcoming run-off election if his party loses, according to reports in the state press.

Mugabes military-backed regime has been carrying out a campaign of violence aimed at wiping out the opposition vote.

We fought for this country and a lot of blood was shed. We are not going to give up our country because of a mere X. How can a ballpoint fight with a gun?” the state-controlled Herald quoted him as saying at a rally.

State-controlled media reported his comments to supporters in Silobela, a village in the countrys Central Midlands province, the latest in a series ofincreasingly menacing threats as Zimbabwe counts down to the June 27 presidential run-off poll, The Times reported.

The warning came a day after he declared: We are ready to go to war.

Mugabes threat coincided with a sudden worsening in violence in the townships around Harare, as mobs of hundreds of Zanu (PF) youths marched through the streets at night, chanting war songs, dragging people out of their homes and beating them up with sticks, iron rods and axes.

Until then the terror campaign had been confined largely to rural areas where security forces and militia groups have conspired to create no-go zones, banning aid organisations and all outsiders to prevent them witnessing the intimidation.

The level of violence has increased dramatically in the past two weeks, moving from beatings and torture


to mutilation and killing, with several victims burnt alive and others shot.

The run-off vote was triggered after Morgan Tsvangirai, the opposition Movement for Democratic Change candidate, beat Mugabe in Marchs presidential elections but, according to the widely discredited official results, fell short of the 50 per cent needed for outright victory.

The regime has already targeted opposition leaders for arrest, detaining Tsvangirai to prevent him from campaigning and locking up his deputy, Tendai Biti, on the capital charge of treason.

The NCAA has pulled seven championship events from North Carolina, including opening-weekend men’s basketball tournament games, for the coming year due to a state law that some say can lead to discrimination against LGBT people.

In a news release Monday, the NCAA saysPorter said. ”... We need to repeal this law and get our state back on track.”

The NCAA’s move leaves the Atlantic Coast Conference football championship game in Charlotte as the marquee college sporting event in the state this year as the men’s basketball tournament starts a two-year stay in Brooklyn, New York.

However, that event also could be in jeopardy. In May, the ACC announced that member schools discussed the law during their annual spring meetings and said it could impact whether the state hosts league championship events.

In April, the NCAA announced it was adopting an anti-discrimination measure that would affect the way the governing body evaluates bids to host sporting events and required sites to “demonstrate how they will provide an environment that is safe, healthy and free


of discrimination.”

In a statement Monday night, NCAA President Mark Emmert said the governing body will delay announcements on future championship sites until early next year. That comes as it reviews responses to questionnaires required of prospective site hosts on how they would comply with the NCAA’s anti-discrimination measure.

In announcing its decision Monday, the NCAA stated current North Carolina laws “make it challenging to guarantee that host communities can help deliver” on that requirement.

The NCAA also took special note of four ways North Carolina’s law differs from other states. The NCAA pointed out that five states — Connecticut, Minnesota, New York, Vermont and Washington — and several cities prohibit travel by public employees and representatives of public institutions to the state of North Carolina. Those representatives prohibited to travelcase of expulsion of product outside the bag using an airless pump, a vent is provided, generally in the base or neck of the flask, to allow external air to enter the space between the flask and the bag each time the pump is actuated, thus allowing the bag to contract while maintaining sufficient pressure on its walls.

Hamas reports record numbers of children in its summer indoctrination programs; competing UN programs attacked, burnt to ground.

Hamas is reporting record turnouts for its summer camps for children in 2011.

The 'summer camps,' combining Islamic indoctrination, paramilitary training, and social activities are set to begin again this year as United Nation’s summer camps, considered competition by Hamas, are being openly denigrated by jihadists.

Children and adolescents are an important target demographic for Hamas, from which its future army of terrorists will be recruited. Summer camps are an important means for indoctrinating Gaza's youth with Hamas' jihadist ideology.

In 2010 Hamas ran camps for an estimated 100,000 campers, a number similar to 2009. The Islamic Jihad terror group ran 51 camps with 10,000 participating boys and girls.

Hamas spokesman Ismail Radwan reported theobjectives of the camps were to raise a generation of children with 'genuine Islamic values.'

"Children working for the interests of their homeland and to educate them to the culture of the Islamic faith so they will remember their goals, including Jerusalem and the prisoners," Radwan said

In addition to indoctrination, Hamas terrorists give children paramilitary training. Banners are hung on the walls with slogans extolling jihad and 'death for the sake of Allah.'

Other prominent motifs for this year are solidarity with Turkey in connection with the Mavi Marmara flotilla, a call for the release of Hamas prisoners (campers carried posters with their pictures) and organized expressions of hatred for Israel and the Jewish people.

UNRWA Programs Attacked

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency summer camp system hosted 250,000 children and


adolescents in 2010. This year, as with previous years, the UN camps were harassed by jihadist terrorists.

On May 23, 2010 a group of 30 armed, masked men broke into an UNRWA summer camp site and burned it to the ground. On the night of June 28, 2010 armed, masked men broke into another UNRWA camp site in the Al-Zuweida region in central Gaza and set it on fire. In both incidents the arsonists were not identified.

A UNRWA spokesman called on the security services of the de facto Hamas administration in the Gaza Strip to investigate and determine who was behind the attacks.

But the groups of armed men who attack the UNRWA summer camps every year receive are inspired by, and probably supported by, Hamas and other terror networksSupporters call on Trump to not pick Romney as list of possible picks for the important post gets longer.

Second-year pitcher Daichi Takeyasu picked up the win after tossing a perfect inning of relief in his first game with the Hanshin Tigers, who edged the Chunichi Dragons 2-1 on Thursday.

Chunichi scored first, with Nobumasa Fukuda doubling home a run in the sixth inning, but Hanshin retaliated in the home half with Yoshio Itoi's game-tying solo homer, Hanshin's first run scored in 34 innings at Koshien Stadium.

Takeyasu (1-0) relieved starter Takumi Akiyama, who yielded one run on three hits, two walks and a hit batsman over six innings, and pitched a 1-2-3 seventh with just nine tosses before his teammates added another run in the bottom frame on a Shunsuke Fujikawa groundout.

Both Saudi Arabia and Egypt have called on militant organization Hamas to end the annual weekly protests it is holding for the "Great March of Return," according to an Egyptian source.An Egyptian Foreign Ministry official was anonymously quoted as saying that, in exchange for halting the protests, Egypt would ensure that the Rafah border crossing, which Egypt controls, would be regularly opened. The source said that the agreement had come under the direction of the Saudis."The situation in Gaza is nearing an explosion towards anyone blockading (the Strip)," the source said, "and thereforethere is a fear that Palestinian anger will turn toward Egypt in the coming weeks."The source also added that Saudi and Egyptian officials had opened contacts with Hamas leaders to urge calm in Gaza.The London-based Al Hayat newspaper reported that an Egyptian delegation was being sent to Gaza to meet with Hamas leadership, and one source told the paper that the head of Egypt's General Intelligence Service, General Abbas Kamel, had been tasked by Saudi Arabia to send a team to "neutralize the explosive situation."Earlier in the week, Shin Bet chief Nadav Argaman asked Kamel to pass on a message to Hamas leaders concerning the protests, saying that Israel has "no tolerance" for the goings-on in Gaza.Egypt and Saudi Arabia, in communicating with Hamas, are also reportedly aiming


to prevent greater confrontations between the Palestinians and Israel.While Israel and Egypt signed a peace treaty in 1979 and have retained a relatively stable relationship since then, no official contact exists between Israel and Saudi Arabia. However, Israeli officials said in the fall that covert contacts had been made between the two countries.

Ten Gazans, including two minors and one journalist, were killed in theThe story of baozi begins with the story of mantou, a simple steamed bread dumpling. Legend has it that mantou was invented by Zhuge Liang (181-234 CE), a military strategist who was leading the Shu Army into southern China. During the Three Kingdoms Period after the downfall of the Han Dynasty rulers, the Chinese empire was is a state of disunity and Zhuge Liang’s army from the north was likely invading modern-day Yunan and northern Burma, which was the state of Wu.

After defeating a barbarian king, Zhuge Liang and his army encountered a river too swift to cross. According to legend, armies would sacrifice 50 men and then toss the heads into the river to please the river gods. However, Zhuge Liang wanted to avoid more human bloodshed.


Instead, Liang decided to kill cows and horses traveling with the army, and used the meat in buns shaped like human heads. The flat-based buns were thrown into the river and were later named mantou, which translates to “barbarian’s head.”

Does the legend of Zhuge Liang have foundations in historical truth? Research confirms that the technology required for baozi did in fact exist during the time period following the Han Dynasty. During the Han period, grains commonly were ground into flour and cooked into dumplings and noodles (Newman 2004, 4).

To avoid the lengthy process of cooking wheat whole, the Chinese devised a method of grinding wheat into flour in the 5th century BC. However, the specific origins of flourmills are unknown. The grinding technology became widespread in China duringthe first century CE.

The annexation of parts of southern China during the Han Dynasty encouraged the development of different regional culinary traditions. Meat and cereals such as millet and wheat sustained people in northern China; meanwhile, conquered southern regions were dependent upon rice vegetables, fruit, and fish (Culinaria, 12).

Look Forward When Your Back Aches

If you've ever had back problems, stop thinking your back is the problem. Back pain is often related to weak muscles in your trunk. The muscles in your midsection aren't isolated. Rather, they weave through your torso like a web of high-tensile steel—if they're in shape, of course. If your abs are weak, your glutes and hamstrings have to work harder to keep your spine stable; this can lead to back pain. Researchers (Childs et al., 2010) found that U.S. Army recruits who did exercises that worked core muscles had fewer days off as a result of back pain. Hop to it, soldier, and give back pain its marching orders by getting your abs in good shape.

This technique is ideal for sport exercises that build explosive power, such as explosive push-ups or the power clean. But be careful: Cheat on only one or two exercises, do it early in your workout when you're fresh and thoroughly warm up first. Cheat reps can lead to injury, so only intermediate to advanced lifters should perform them.

"UCSD is a place for students to cultivate their minds and and enrich their knowledge. Currently, the various actions undertaken by the university have contravened the spirit of respect, tolerance, equality, and earnestness—the ethos upon which the university is built."

What reads like a standard complaint from campus activists actually contains a surprising twist. Rather than the usual hullabaloo over Charles Murray, Ann Coulter, and Milo Yiannopoulos, the subject of student ire this Saturday at University of California, San Diego, was none other than the Dalai Lama.

Despite the similarity in rhetoric, the protesters weren't liberals offended by a provocative right-wing speaker, but Chinese students—the passage above is from the Chinese Students and Scholars Association—who see the Tibetan spiritual leader as a separatist political figure who threatens their culture andgovernance.

When the planned commencement address was announced this winter, it drew anger from many Chinese students, who comprise about 14 percent of the student body. Outraged Facebook comments criticized the choice as too divisive, a characterization that flies in the face of the the Dalai Lama's cuddly western image as an exiled martyr.

"The Dalai Lama spent his whole life trying to separate Tibet from the mainland of China, regardless of how much privilege and freedom the government offered the people of Tibet," wrote Chinese-American undergrad Ruixuan Wang in an op-ed for the student newspaper, The Guardian. "His conflict with our government caused property loss, deaths of innocent people, and panic among the general public––even though he claims that he advocates for a nonviolent revolution."

The students are right: Those


values are proclaimed by UCSD, and almost every university, in some form. And when speakers come under fire on campuses across the country, students often jump to these stated core values as justification for the idea that they need protection because their treasured learning environments are being sullied by offensive ideas.

The Dalai Lama's language is clearly not meant to incite controversy, and rhetoric centered around world peace is far from incendiary. But college administrators have proven, time and time again, that they're willing to concede to the demands of disgruntled or offended students. If all 14 percent of the Chinese student body were offended, would that be a significant enough number for the administration to take action? When speakers like Charles Murray come to other campuses, disgruntled studentsLids for containers are well-known in the beverage container industry. In general terms, lids for single-use or disposable containers have three main components: a top wall or surface, a mounting portion, and an opening. Typically, the mounting portion is adapted to engage an upper rim of the container to seal the lid on the container. The opening is adapted to permit the flow of the container contents through the lid.
Existing lid designs suffer from a number of problems including untimely spillage through the opening due to the lack of a reliable means for sealing the opening. The inability to effectively seal the opening can also result in a significant loss of heat from the container contents through the opening. To address these and other problems, a number of

Documentary lays bare Morton's wrongful conviction

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Handcuffed and being bundled into a police car after his conviction for killing his wife, Michael Morton called out to a nearby cluster of reporters.

"I didn't do this," the Texan cried, his dazed voice filled more with confusion than anger or heartbreak. "I did not do this."

Nobody believed him.

In "An Unreal Dream: The Michael Morton Story," writer/director and two-time Oscar nominee Al Reinert offers an unflinching look at how Morton was wrongfully convicted of murder and had his only son disown him as he served a life sentence. It lays bare how the Austin grocery store inventory manager lost everything — except the fact that he was innocent — but was finally exonerated in 2011 by new DNA evidenceafter nearly a quarter century behind bars.

On Monday, another man, Mark Norwood, goes on trial for the murder of Morton's wife Christine, who was beaten to death in her bed in August 1986. Norwood has also been linked to a similar 1988 slaying of another woman, Debra Masters Baker, sparking speculation that authorities allowed him to kill again while wrongfully focusing on Morton.

The district attorney who helped send Morton to prison, Ken Anderson, has been accused of withholding evidence that could have helped the defense. Anderson is now a state district judge and faced a court of inquiry, a proceeding held to examine alleged wrongdoing by court officials. A decision in that matter may come next month.

Asked about Anderson following a screening of "An Unreal Dream" at the


South By Southwest film festival this week, Morton said it's "not a personal, visceral hatred I have for him."

"I had to literally let that go. I've had a lot of time to do that," Morton said. "But, at the same time, there needs to be accountability."

Two jurors from Morton's trial appear in the movie and say they were struck by the defendant's lack of emotion, in contrast to Anderson's commanding courtroom presence.

The state alleged that Morton flew into a rage and killed Christine because she fell asleep without having sex with him on his 32nd birthday. Tears ran down the district attorney's face as he claimed Morton masturbated over his wife's body.

Morton explained after the movie that he was putting on a brave face in court for hisson Eric, who was 3 when his mother was killed. He said he was also grieving his wife and worrying about possibly losing his job and his home — which didn't leave him with much emotion left to display for the jury.

But Morton remains unassuming even today, often appearing surprised that his story has garnered so much attention.

"There's a part of me that has worried he'd turn into some kind of celebrity and he hasn't done that," said Reinert, the writer/director. "He hasn't become egotistical, he hasn't become mean-spirited, he hasn't become selfish. He's remained incredibly level-headed."

The movie is screening for a third and final time Saturday in Austin, but is being shopped for eventual wider release nationally.

Morton said he wanted it to focus on his wife's life,


flaws in the legal system and his experience being touched by God in prison.

Morton's religious experience came in 2001, amid his darkest days. That's when his son wrote to say he was being formally adopted by his aunt and uncle on his mom's side and changing his last name.

"When I lost him," a choked-up Morton says in the documentary, "that's what broke me."

The movie details how Houston attorney John Raley and the New York-based Innocence Project spent years fighting for DNA testing on a bloody bandanna discovered near the Morton home shortly after Christine's slaying. John Bradley, an Anderson protege who was then district attorney, argued it would "muddy the waters."

In 2010, Morton had a chance to be paroled — but would have had to admit remorse fora crime he didn't commit. "All I had left," he says in the movie, "is my actual innocence."

When DNA testing finally confirmed the truth, Bradley sent an email to Eric Morton saying his father was likely to be released. "I was almost rude in my response," Eric Morton recalls into the camera. "There was no room in my life for this."

But since then, he and his father have slowly begun to reconcile. Christine Morton's family, however, does not appear in the documentary.

"They spent 25 years hating this man and they just can't turn it around that quick," Reinert said.

Morton, who got remarried last weekend, has become an advocate for reforming the Texas legal system to better guard against wrongful convictions. He visited the floor of the state Senate


Shawn Beidler, had been the shooter. The target's heart seemed to explode in a gusher of blood against a mud wall; Jake watched the children through his scope, their faces frozen in horror, then the screaming and running. He couldn't stop thinking about those kids after he came home. But he had been surrounded by children all day at Manresa, some of them being treated for their wounds, others asking if they could help out, others just hanging around, amazed by the presence of these giant Americans who were working nonstop to set bones and clean wounds. And Jake realized, in that moment, he was feeling healthier, too. Except for his foot, which was killing him; he was wearing combat boots again, and they truly sucked.

Brother Jim hadheard the news, he rushed out to the edge of Camp Bastion, over to the sandblasted Hesco barriers, and wept. He gathered himself and went back to Beidler. "I want a fucking transfer," he said. "If we're not going to be in the fight, I want to go back to my squad and take Mike's place."

Shawn calmed him down. The sniper team was a unit; removing Jake would be like pulling the carburetor from an engine. "I know it's fucked," Beidler said. "But we'll be out there soon enough."

Eric wanted to know more about the national service community, what was being done and what wasn't, and what he might do. Afterward, they continued the conversation at Eric's apartment, sipping green tea—Steve was disappointed there wasn't a drop of alcohol in the place.

From Adam Rainbolt (@adamrainbolt);

As Reggie Bush enters his eighth season and joins his third team, his signing with Detroit he appears to be poised to produce another strong fantasy season for the Lions. The fact that Detroit lost three of its five starting offensive lineman (left tackle Jeff Backus‘ retired, guard Stephen Peterman was released and right tackle Gosder Cherilus signed with Indianapolis) is more than worrisome.

The bright side is that the salary cap and free-agent has left devastation of the Lions’ defense as well; both starting defensive ends Kyle Vanden Bosch (released) and Cliff Avril (signed with Seattle) are gone, which should make for some high scoring games this

The final report, which defines deliverables for seven high priority research areas with an estimated total cost of $4.5 billion by fiscal year 2025, received much praise from ACD members and was immediately accepted by Dr. Collins.

Arising from a recommendation of the June 2012 report of the ACD Biomedical Workforce Working Group, a more detailed analysis of the physician scientist workforce was initiated to examine the economic and educational drivers affecting the training and career paths of physician scientists. In its final report, the ACD Physician Scientist Working Group noted that the pool of physician scientists has been stagnant for the past decadeand challenges such as educational debt, length and complexity of training, and balancing clinical and research responsibilities deter individuals from pursuing this career path. The Working Group proposed nine recommendations, five of which seek to enhance financial support for training and grant mechanisms to retain physician scientists in the biomedical research workforce. Remaining recommendations are designed to increase diversity of the physician scientist workforce, decrease the gap in R01 award rates between new and established investigators, and develop more effective tools to track training outcomes. The ACD will continue discussion of the report and the recommendations during its next meeting in December.

Lithuania was bitterly cold for New Orleans native Robert Pack. There was also a language barrier for the prized American import, who had played in 552 NBA games. And he usually was the only African-American to be found during his time off the court. But with all that came two championships that capped Pack’s 14-year professional basketball career.

Because of his job as a Portland Trail Blazers scout, Pack can’t speak about LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball, who are in Lithuania preparing to make their professional basketball debuts on Tuesday. But Pack would highly recommend the opportunity to play in basketball-crazed Lithuania.

“Basketball is No. 1, and coming from the NBA, the fans were crazy and knowledgeable about the game,” Pack said. “It was a great experience because they knew whatthey were seeing. The energy was in the building. You felt like you were playing in an NBA kind of environment. They were crazy about supporting their team. It was a really good experience with competitive basketball to play.”

Pack went undrafted out of the University of Southern California in 1991, but he beat out veteran Walter Davis to land the last roster spot on the Blazers’ 1991-92 team. The athletic 6-foot-2 guard was a member of the Blazers team that lost to Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls in the 1992 NBA Finals. The injury-plagued Pack also played on the Denver Nuggets team that made NBA history by knocking off the top-ranked Seattle SuperSonics in the first round of the 1994 playoffs.

Pack suited up for Spain Valencia BC


careers with Vytautas after signing one-year contracts. After living in the major metropolitan Los Angeles area, the Ball brothers will have to adjust to living in a small town of about 10,000 people. According to the team website, Vytautas players live in the Royal SPA Residence, a four-star hotel with a restaurant and bar, spa, hot tubs and saunas, recreation center with a swimming pool, table tennis, a winter garden and cinema hall.

“That’s a really good deal for the players in Prienai,” Pack said. “I had a real nice two-bedroom apartment with hardwood floors.”

Zalgiris Kaunas has long been a power in the Lithuanian basketball league since being founded in 1944, while BC Vytautas Prienai has had its ups and downs since arriving in 1994.

Zalgiris is one of 11basketball franchises that own a license in the Euroleague, which grandfathers the club into the regular-season phase of Euroleague action. Former NBA players who have played for Zalgiris include Sabonis, Sarunas Marciulionis and Zydrunas Ilgauskas. Kaunas has won one Euroleague title, 18 Lietuvos Krepsinio Lyga (LKL) titles, five Soviet Union gold medals, five Baltic Basketball League titles, one European Cup and one Intercontinental Cup. BC Vytautas Prienai has two Lithuanian championships.

“Kaunas has ruled the Lithuanian league,” Pack said. “Sabonis is from Kaunas. It’s the top dog. Kaunas had popularity in the country like the Los Angeles Lakers and success like the San Antonio Spurs. They roll. They have taken a deep history, they retool, and players in the country want to play for them.

“I never played against Prienai.

With Pack, Kaunas struggled in Euroleague play but defeated Lietuvos Rytas to win both the 2005 LKL Finals and the inaugural 2005 Baltic Basketball League championship. Pack predicted to his coach and teammates before the LKL Finals that Kaunas would sweep Lietuvos Rytas in four games in the Finals, and it happened. Pack’s motivation to sweep was that it would allow him to get back to the U.S. in time to attend his niece’s high school graduation in Texas.

What made winning the 2005 LKL Finals most special for Pack was that his father, Robert Pack Sr., attended all four games. They smokedQueen Elizabeth II Steps Out Alone as Prince Philip Remains Hospitalized to Open New BBC Broadcasting House

MILWAUKEE -- One man was shot and killed in a shooting Friday night. It happened around 8:20 at night at the corner of 53rd and Meinecke.

"It was like six shots, it was just like boom, boom, like shots fired," a neighbor who witnessed the shooting said.

It was a scene that unfolded in front of neighbors. They say a group of men in a black station wagon waited for the victim to drive down the street. When they saw him, a witness says, the shooting started.

"They


shot at the car," the witness said. "We saw the guy, the guy hit in the car."

Neighbors say the car rolled across the street, eventually hitting a tree. Then, they say, the shooter or shooters came back to make sure he was dead. A neighbor says they drove away when they heard police sirens.

"The guys opened up the door and that's when we seen the guy who was driving the car, head, fall out the door," a neighbor said.

Police say the victim is a man in his 30's. He was shot twice in his torso. The motive for the shooting is unknown.Leon Gooberman and Marco Hauptmeier explain how Employers’ Organisations – an underestimated actor within the world of work – deliver benefits to their members, represent employers in the political process, and play an important role in UK employment relations.

The importance of unions within employment relations is well recognised, but less is known about Employers’ Organisations (EOs). But this was not always the case as EOs once held high-profile roles. They negotiated collective bargaining agreements with unions to define wages and working conditions for millions of workers, jointly governed industrial training boards to train much of the workforce, and consulted with the government and unions on incomes policies. All this changed after 1979 as EOs were buffeted by the end of the post-war consensus and the decline of collective


training, supporting recruitment and, lobbying on these topics. They must have subscribing members who are employers, or individuals acting as employers.

Who represents employers in the UK?

We identified 447 EOs in the UK, comprising a small minority of large cross-industry EOs and a majority of single industry, or regional, bodies. Unlike more corporatist countries elsewhere in Europe, a central employer confederation with the authority to speak for the entire business community does not exist in the UK.

Data on membership numbers was available for 357 EOs, with a combined membership of 750,000 employers. The median membership was 170. Few EOs were cross-industry but these included three with over 100,000 members: the Federation of Small Business, the Confederation of British Industry, and the British Chamber of Commerce.

which is a Canadian company. They are among the thirty-four subsidiaries identified by Sceptre in its annual report filed with the Securities Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Vantage is an Oklahoma corporation, formerly named Z.G. Energy Corporation. It became interested in some of the oil and gas properties which Sceptre and its subsidiaries were attempting to market in 1989. There is nothing in the record indicating that Vantage or its progenitor had any prior relationship with Sceptre or its subsidiaries.
Sceptre decided to discontinue its United States operations and to pull out of the U.S. market in 1989, shortly after it acquired Oakwood Petroleum, Ltd. out of the Canadian equivalent of bankruptcy. Thus, when Sceptre contacted Vantage, it was in the process of looking fora buyer, or buyers, to purchase all of its U.S. properties. Parenthetically, Sceptre's U.S. properties represented a relatively small percentage of its total assets.
On November 13, 1989, Sceptre and the Oakwood entities entered into an agreement with Vantage which was denominated as an "Agreement for Exchange of Properties and Securities." The Exchange Agreement detailed the conveyance of the U.S. properties held by the Oakwood entities to Vantage in exchange for a majority of the shares of common stock in Vantage, a promissory note, and cash, such conveyance to be effected July 1, 1989. The Exchange Agreement was amended on February 20, 1990, and was closed on May 1, 1990 by means of an instrument styled "Assignment, Bill of Sale, and Conveyance." At the time of closing, the Oakwood


of the transaction, Questa contacted Vantage by letter dated July 27, 1990 and expressed an interest in purchasing some gas wells in Hansford County, Texas and in Seward County, Kansas. In that letter, Questa referred to the Stuart # 1 well, noting that it owned an interest in that well, "along with a preferential right of purchase under the Operating Agreement." Questa indicated that it "might consider settling the matter of the Stuart Well with [its] purchase of the captioned wells (the Hansford and Seward County wells)." There then ensued correspondence between the parties wherein Vantage denied that Questa had a preferential right of purchase because the Oakwood entities and Vantage were all subsidiaries of Sceptre.
On June 10, 1992, Vantage sent Questa a letter which reiterated its beliefby the preferential right to purchase. Suffice it to say, the parties failed to reach an agreement and this lawsuit proceeded to the trial giving rise to this appeal.
On November 13, 1989, Sceptre, the Oakwood entities, and Vantage (then named ZG Energy Corporation) entered into an instrument denominated as an "Agreement for Exchange of Properties and Securities." The agreement was amended on February 20, 1990 and closed on May 1, 1990 by the execution of an "Assignment, Bill of Sale, and Conveyance." As material here, at the time of closing, Sceptre and the Oakwood entities conveyed all of their United States properties to Vantage. Those assets included approximately 600 wells on over 400 properties. The transaction was accomplished as a tax-free exchange under section 351 of the Internal


Revenue Code.
In exchange for the conveyances, Vantage paid the sum of $4,600,000 in cash (reduced by $900,000 received by the Oakwood entities between July 1, 1989, the effective date of the transaction, and May 1, 1990, the date consideration was transferred), and 81% of the stock in Vantage which was valued at $6,900,000. The stock in Vantage that the Oakwood entities received was distributed pro rata among the entities. The value of the property transferred by the Oakwood entities, as well as the price of the shares of Vantage stock, was based upon an independent valuation made by the petroleum engineering firm of Netherland, Sewell and Associates. *221 The remaining 19% of the Vantage stock was held by the shareholders who had previously owned 100% of the stock.

“Becky has been a distinguished player in women's soccer; she had an exceptional college career at FSU, one of the most prestigious programs in the US, and an outstanding professional career in the US and overseas. She is a consummate professional and one of the most respected players in the game by players and coaches alike,” Pride Head Coach Tom Sermanni said. “She's been an outstanding leader here in Orlando and made a significant contribution to our team both on and off the field in our inaugural year. I wish her every success moving


forward. She will always remain a part of the Pride family.”

Edwards, 28, was acquired by the Pride in December from the Western New York Flash after previously playing for Portland Thorns FC and the Houston Dash. In 2013, Edwards was signed as a free agent by the Thorns. She played 10 matches for Portland, and was slated to be called into U.S. WNT camp by Sermanni, but suffered an ACL tear that cut her first NWSL season short.

The next season, Edwards was acquired by the Dash in the 2014 Expansion Draft where she played in every minute of Houston’s first 23 matches. In 2015, Edwards was traded to the Flash where she would go on to be named team captain and played every minute of the season scoringtwo goals and adding three assists.

After four years at FSU, Edwards joined FC Gold Pride of WPS in 2010. There, the midfielder helped lead a star-studded roster to the league’s championship, her first of three club titles. The next year Edwards became a back-to-back WPS Champion, leading the Flash to the 2011 title. Two years later, in 2013, the Thorns would go on to win the first-ever NWSL Championship in Edwards’ injury-shortened season.

On the international stage, the Downingtown, Penn. native captained the 2008 U.S. U20 Women’s National Team. Alongside current Pride teammate Alex Morgan, Edwards and the USA became 2008 FIFA U20 Women's World Cup Champions after a 2-1 win over North Korea.

A four-year letterwinner with the Seminoles, Edwards left Tallahassee fifth all-time at FSU in career starts


(89) and tied for third in all-time appearances (95). Team captain during her senior season, she was also named a semifinalist for the MAC Hermann Trophy given to college soccer’s most valuable player.

The trial of the five adult men began in a special fast-track court in March 2013.

Ram Singh, the prime accused, allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself in Tihar jail days after the trial began. The juvenile, who was said to be the most brutal of the attackers, was put in a correctional home for

What makes the confluences so good? If you think back over our history of modal spells, charms allow players to "choose one." Commands allow players to "choose two." Meanwhile, confluences allow players to "choose three," which is a ton of choosing. Plus, unlike commands, you can pick the same option more than once, which gives the spells another level of flexibility and players another level of agency.

In sum, while Jace's Ingenuity, Sea God's Revenge, and Lost in the Mist might all be bad cards, when you stick them all together and give the player complete control over which mode they choose at which time, the end result is a ton of raw power and a very, very playable reprint in Battlebond!

Conclusion

Anyway, that's all for


The official standard of Nynorsk has been significantly altered during the process to create the common language form Samnorsk. A minor purist fraction of the Nynorsk population has stayed firm with the historical Aasen norm where these alterations of Nynorsk were rejected, which is known as Høgnorsk (, analogous to High German). Ivar Aasen-sambandet is an umbrella organization of associations and individuals promoting the use of Høgnorsk, whereas Noregs Mållag and Norsk Målungdom advocate the use of Nynorsk in general.

The Landsmål (Landsmaal) language standard was constructed by the Norwegian linguist Ivar Aasen during the mid-19th century, to provide a Norwegian-based alternative to Danish, which was commonly written, and to some extent spoken, in Norway at the time.

The word Nynorsk also has another meaning. In addition to being thealso legal Bokmål.

Like most Scandinavian languages, when the noun is definite and is described by an adjective like the sentence «the beautiful mountains», there is a separate definite article dependent on the gender/number of the noun. In Nynorsk these articles are: «den»/«det»/«dei». The following noun and adjective both gets a definite inflection. When there is no adjective and the articles «den»/«det»/«dei» are used in front of the noun (like «dei fjella», English; «those mountains»), the articles are inferred as the demonstrative «that/those» depending on if the noun is plural or not. The difference between the demonstrative «that» and the article «the» is in general inferred from context when there is an adjective involved.

Determiners
The determinatives have inflection patterns quite similar to Bokmål, the only difference being that the masculine


resembles the Swedish verb conjugation system.

To identify what conjugation class a verb pertains to; j-verbs will have -je/-ja in the infinitive. e-verbs have -er in present tense. a-verbs have -ar in the present tense and -a in the preterite.

All strong verbs have no ending in the present and preterite forms and the only difference between these forms is an umlaut.

Just like in Bokmål and in most other Germanic languages, there is no difference between the simple tenses and the continuous tenses in Nynorsk. This means for instance that drikk will cover both of the English present forms drink and drinking.

All users can choose to follow a system of either an -e or an -a ending on the infinitives of verbs. That is, one can for instance chooseAmerican stationed in Iraq or Afghanistan who follows the same course of action for the same reason: The triumph of conscience over programming.

For those whose conscience can withstand such an assault, another motive might prove effective. Those who have seen the film Braveheart remember its depiction of the Battle of Stirling Bridge: Huge, serried rows of British infantry, archers, and heavy cavalry assemble across the field from a large, poorly armed, and indifferently motivated throng of Scottish foot soldiers, all of them hapless conscripts forced by their feudal lords to fight.

Near the front of the Scottish host the lords — whose allegiances are divided by favors dispensed on them by the English King Edward I — are seen frantically discussing a negotiating strategy. The camera then pans to

It’s Final Four week and as all of the fans and media anxiously await for the Saturday evening to arrive, the on-air crew at Turner Sports is preparing to broadcast its first-ever national semifinals. We all know and love Ernie Johnson for the tremendously entertaining work he does on the best sports show on television, Inside the NBA, but during this upcoming weekend he will again cross over into our world as the primary NCAA host for the Final Four (TBS) and the National Championship Game (CBS). In this special Rush the Takes podblast, Ernie discusses how he and colleagues Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith prepare for their annual foray into the NCAA Tournament, what Turner has in store for the FinalEnd of Season Review

At the start of the year the aim from the coaches and the
players was to win the South West, the process was discussed, and ultimately,
the aim was achieved. No football season is all plain sailing and this review
will discuss the ups and downs of preseason, each regular season game and the
Titans loss to Kingston to close our their 2014/15 BUCS season.

The Titans managed to cling on to a number of key contributors, through Coach Keyse's #OneMoreYear campaign, from the 2013/14 season, although they did loose ‘all-DC wide
receiver’, the clubs leading touchdown scorer and now Great Britain
Skeleton-Bob athlete Marcus Wyatt. Along with Wyatt, changes on the offensive
and defensive line were the main area of concern for the captains and coaching
staff over the offseason.

After the best, numbers


wise, recruitment in the clubs history
the Titans had a little scare as they lost to the ‘TOADS’ in the annual old
boys game as their first pre-season fixture. Despite this, when the Titans
played the Tarannau in preseason week two they won 33 to nothing and looked
explosive on offense and stout on defense. In 2014/15 the Tarannau, of course,
have gone on to win the North West Conference with an unbeaten 8 & 0 record
before stumbling to the Glasgow Tigers in the semi-finals of the playoffs.

Week one of the regular season saw the Titans play the Plymouth
Blitz and run out 28-0 victors. The Blitz would probably admit that they did
not play their best football in this one, they really struggled to move the
ball, only making three first downs across the fourquarters. The Titans then
played the Bulldogs and beat them by 57 points and got another shutout and with
the team beginning to roll, but yet to be challenged, the Titans beat the
Gladiators 36-0 to go 3 & 0. A couple of plays of the year occurred in the ‘Glads
game; D. Captain Adam Salter recorded his first career pick, his first of 4 on the year, and Jacob Amadi
broke off a ridiculous run from mid field with little time remaining in the
first half to take the Titans two scores up.

Next was Cardiff, who were 4 & 0 and top of the table. The
Cardiff Coach, Ben Watkins, tipped the winner to go on to win the South West
before the game and the game suggested there was not a great deal between


the
two teams. Simon George rushed in for TD just before the half, the Cobras leveled
it up in the fourth only to go behind with a few seconds remaining and Amadi
rushed 20 odd yards for the game winning TD. The win turned out to be the title
decider, just as Watkins predicted.

The highly touted offensive pair for Bristol Barracuda, Clay Rust
(QB) and Alex Decaro (WR), were in town for the resumption of the BUCS season
after the Christmas break. Ultimately, the pair were the difference between the
two teams as they linked up, play after play, and in the fourth quarter were
instrumental in conjuring up an unlikely win for ‘Cuda. A kick up the backside
it may have been but in the end, the same flaws exploited in this game would
come back tothis one after having a quite second
half of the season on defense. Cotterill played in all three phases of the game
and helped fill the void left by Wyatt on offense.

The Titans came across some tough competition all year round but
two individuals stood out on either side of the ball. Both George and Amadi highlighted Exeter’s MLB Freddie Weihe
as the best defensive player in the South West in 2015. Salter and
Pritchard-Jones indicated that Kingston’s QB, Tim Thomas, was the number one
offensive player that the team had to deal with.

Captains handshakes prior to kick-off in the 41-0 win against UWE at Llandarcy Academy of Sport.

The Titan’s final run out of the year came away to Kingston who
won the London Conference 8 & 0. The game was a close affair, from


start to
finish. It was not without its quirks though. The Titans offense only saw the
field once in the first quarter and only twice more in the second. The Cougars
had a clear game plan to control the game clock and it was working as the Titans D struggled to make the Cougars air the ball out throughout the game.

After a nail biting goaline stand and an erroneous pass
interference call the Londoners opened the scoring, 7-0. The score stayed that
way up until the half. The Titans responded in the third with Amadi bursting
through a cut back lane for a half the field TD. The Titans looked on top as
George hit Sri down the sideline to take the O into the red zone. Red zone failures
and mistakes had plagued the teamall year round, especially in that ‘Cuda
game, and they did so once again. 4th and goal on the 5 and mis communication resulted in the Titans fumbling and the Cougars getting a touchback.

Kingston, buoyed by the lifeline, put together a long TD drive
and left the Titans in a classic two-minute drill situation. In the next two
minutes the Titans faced two third downs and a forth down on which Cotterill,
Caparas and Sri all came up big, snagging catches and keeping the Titans hopes
alive. The Titans had marched from their 20, down to the Cougars 10. However,
laundry on the field pushed the offense back and George was left with two shots
from 15 yards to win. Neither hit. Failure in the red zone and being hurt by
penalties were a common theme


for the coaches and captains to talk about in meetings and they came back to bite in the biggest game of the
year.

Kingston went on to win the South Division One, beating Surrey by
a plus 30-point margin, and getting promoted into the Premier South Division.

What is next for the Titans? First and foremost is Varsity. The
Titans are in the middle of a 10-day training programme with the aim of the team peaking
come the 22nd of April. Varsity will be the final game of the
2014/15 season for the Titans, who in the past year have beaten UWE for the
first time, won the South West for the first time and have built a foundation
for future success.Blog

Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, he did so on the grounds that she had violated Rule 19. This is a Senate rule that bars its members from saying anything that "directly or indirectly, by any form of words impute to another senator or to other senators any conduct or motive unworthy or unbecoming a senator."

When Rule 19 was used to gag Warren, she was reading a letter written by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s widow, Coretta Scott King on how Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama — who was in the process of being confirmed as President Donald Trump's attorney general — had engaged in racial discrimination against black voters. Yet oddly enough, when Republican Sen. John McCain


of Arizona made a charge as serious (if not more so) against Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky earlier this week, Rule 19 wasn't invoked.

McCain's comments came after Paul voted to block a treaty that would have helped the Balkan nation of Montenegro join NATO, a move that would hinder Russian dictator Vladimir Putin's foreign policy ambitions but also gone against Paul's well-known quasi-isolationist ideals. After warning prior to the vote that "if there’s objection, you are achieving the objectives of Vladimir Putin . . . and I do not say that lightly," McCain and the rest of the Senate watched as Paul objected and quickly left the room.
