announced Adriano’s signing effective July 1st, 2010 with a salary worth 5 million Euros.He was then presented to the press with the no. 8 shirt. However, Roma terminated the contract on March 8, 2011, after seven months in the Italian capital.

On 25th March 2011, he signed with Corinthians on a year long deal. However, Adriano ruptured his Achilles tendon on 19th April, the same year while he was training & After the surgery he spent six months recovering. After recovering, he played his first game for Corinthians on October 9, 2011, when his club beat Atletico Goaniense 3-0. His first goal for Corinthians came on October 20 in the home game versus Atletico Mineiro, and was the winning goal that made the game 2-1 and gave Corinthians atwo-point lead in the Championship with only two games remaining. He however, was released on march 12, 2012 after his irregular appearances and lack of interest.

Adriano was a good footballer, only to now end up living in the slums of Rio de Janeiro. He was once earning 80,000 pounds per week in the prime of his career but these days, the 34-year-old is without a club and living among gun-wielding gangs in Rio.

A gang member of the Red Command gives Adriano a good shave.

Forever remembered as a absolute fire cracker on Pro Evolution Soccer, Adriano was once regarded as one of the top strikers in world football but six years after his last appearance for Brazil against Ukraine in 2010, things are very, very different.

members of Red Command, a Rio de Janeiro crime outfit.

Adriano reportedly depends on a deadly gang known as the Red Command, who have been part of Rio’s long-running gang war, for protection in order to live in the slum, according to Brazilian lawyers. Also, many more incidents have sparked controversy in Adriano’s life. He was arrested on charges relating to drug trafficking and after a night out clubbing with friends, a woman was shot in his car. In November 2014, a judge in Rio de Janeiro cleared Adriano of charges related to drug trafficking citing a lack of evidence. There are rumors that he is searching for a club, though some images show him training for American 4thdivision side Miami United.

Behold, Ronaldinho! One of the world’s favorite football maestros, and of course a buck toothed hearth throb too.

Ronaldo de Assis Moreira, commonly known as Ronaldinho (and at times as Ronaldinho Gaucho) is a Brazilian footballer and one of Brazil’s most renown football maestros. He plays mainly as a forward and as an attacking midfielder, occasionally playing on the wings. Having been awarded the FIFA World Player of the Year award twice in 2004 and 2005, He is renowned for his technique, tricks, dribbling, overhead kicks, no-look passes and free kicks, Ronaldinho is regarded to be one of the best players of his generation, and the best ball juggler the world has ever seen.

Ronaldinho, in the arms of his elder brother Roberto.

Ronaldinho was born on March


21, 1980 in Porto Alegre, the state capital of RIo Grande de Sul in Southern Brazil (Home to a large white-Brazilian population). His mother Miguelina Eloi Assis dos Santos, was a former salesperson who studied to become a nurse. His father, Joao de Assis Moreira, was a shipyard worker and footballer for local club Esporte Clube Cruizeiro (not to be confused with the larger Cruzeiro Esporte Club, commonly known as Cruziero. Joao de Assis Moreira suffered a fatal heart attack in the family swimming pool when Ronaldinho was eight years old. When Ronaldinho’s elder brother Roberto de Assis Moreira signed with Gremio, the family moved to a home in the more affluent Guaruja section of Porto Alegre, which was a gift from Gremio to convince Roberto to stayat the club, but Roberto’s career was ultimately cut short by injury. Today, Roberto acts as his manager, while his sister Deisi works as his press coordinator.

Ronaldinho’s football skills began to blossom at the age of eight. He first had developed an interest in Futsal (indoor football) and beach football, which later expanded to organized football. His first brush with the media came at the age of 13, when he scored all 23 goals in a 23–0 victory against a local team.Ronaldinho was identified as a rising star at the 1997 FIFA U-17 World Championship in Egypt, in which he scored two goals on penalties.

Ronaldinho’s nickname means Young Ronald,


or at times Baby Ronald because he was youngest in his group of friends. his earliest experience of football was juggling football on the beaches of Porto Alegre with his friends. he usually made a football out of socks and dirty laundry because before his elder brother signed for Gremio, footballs were a bit expensive. even a leather ball wasn’t so easy to practice with. the reason Ronaldinho would juggle on beaches was because it was not only hard to dribble the ball on the beach, but also the juggling helped him improve his ball control. He also credits his elder brother for infusing the discipline inside him and helping him learn the skills.

Ronaldinho, in his childhood days when he was part of the youth setup of Gremio.

“I’veworked with some great players in my time and all at a very interesting period in their careers, nineteen to twenty years old. But, with due respect to the others, Ronaldinho was a cut above the rest.”

— Grêmio coach Celso Roth

Ronaldinho began his days as a footballer from the youth setup of Gremio Football Club in his native Porto Alegre. He made his senior debut with Gremio in the year 1998 at the age of 17 or 18 in the 1998 Copa Libertadores. In 1999, the 18 year Ronaldinho emerged as one of Brazil’s rising superstars scoring 23 goals in 48 appearances. He even made headlining displays in matches against city rivals Sporting Club Internacional in the Porto Alegre derby. On 20th June, 1999 in the Rio Grande


de Sul State Championship Final, he embarrassed Internacional and National Team legend Dunga in match winning performance, flicking the ball over his head on one occasion and leaving Dunga flat footed with mazy dribble in the other helping Gremio win the match. he went on to win trophies and success with Gremio, winning the inaugural Copa Sul-Minas.

Whoever thought Ronaldinho would be a buck toothed scrawny kid back in the day with Gremio. this was taken in 1998.

Arsenal expressed interest in signing Ronaldinho in 2001, but the move collapsed as he could not obtain a work permit because he was a non-EU player who had not played enough international matches.He considered playing on loan with Scottish Premier League side St. Mirren, which never happened due to his involvement in a fake passport scandal in Brazil. But despite all that, he made the trans-Atlantic jump to the French Ligue 1 signing with Paris-St.Germain F.C.

Ronaldinho during the 2002-03 season with PSG

Ronaldinho signed a five year contract with Paris-St.Germain in 2001, and was given the number 21. he was on a squad that included fellow Brazilian Aloisio, Nigerian Captain Jay-Jay Okocha and French striker Nicolas Anelka. much of his first season at PSG ended in rotating roles between the bench and the starting XI, he made his debut against Auxerre in August 2001 and


scored his first goal 2 months later in October against Olympique Lyon, with a well taken penalty kick in the 79th minute. He even helped PSG to a semi finals finish in the French Cup (aka Coupe de la Ligue) where they were eliminated by Girondins de Bordeaux. Despite his initial success, manager Luis Fernandez criticized Him for enjoying the Parisian nightlife more than football and also that his holidays in Brazil never ended. Despite the rifts, he returned for the 2002-03 season and scored two goals in 3-1 win over Olympique de Marseille: the first being a free kick and the second one coming from a series of daft magic dribbles past OM defenders. Despite his showings, the capital club finished 11th in the Ligue 1 andF.Kennedy Memorial Stadium in Washington, D.C., U.S.A, scoring one goal in a 2–0 victory. He scored his first goal in the Spanish Premiera Liga on 3rd September 2003 against Sevilla F.C. After receiving the ball from his goalkeeper inside his own half, Ronaldinho ran through midfield and dribbled past two Sevilla players before striking the ball from 30 yards which hammered off the underside of the crossbar and back up into the roof of the net.Ronaldinho however suffered an injury during the first half of the campaign, and Barcelona slumped to 12th in the league standings midway through the season. Ronaldinho returned from injury and scored 15 goals in La Liga, helping the team ultimately finish second in the league.

He won the 2004-05 season with FC Barcelona, winning


the player of the season award as well. That season also marked the debut of Argentine maestro Lionel Messi, Ronaldinho won the FIFA Player of the year award in December 2004. Barcelona were however, eliminated in the UEFA Champions League by Chelsea in March 2005, where Barca lost 5-4 in both legs but Ronaldinho scored 2 in the 2nd leg with one of the goals where he feinted a shot before scoring the goal by sending the defenders wrong way. he signed a two year extension in September 2005, the deal containing a minimum-fee release clause that allowed him to leave should a club make an offer to Barcelona of at least £85 million for him.

Ronaldinho won two straight titles in his first two seasons at FC Barcelona,notching numerous awards and honors (He won the inaugural FIFPro player of the year award), added to the FIFPro world XI and winning the European player of the year award as well as being nominated for the FIFA World Player of the year the second consecutive time, beating Frenchman Zinedine Zidane. Apart from that, he also won the 2006 UEFA Champions League helping FC Barcelona beat Arsenal 2-1 in the final hosted in Paris. That win was Ronaldinho’s first ever UEFA Champions League title alongside the Copa Del Rey and Spanish Premiera Liga of 2005-06, finishing with a season tally of 26 goals, named in the UEFA team of the year, 2005-06 UEFA Club footballer of the year, named in the six man shortlist for the 2006 Laureus


World Sportsman of the Year and selected in the FIFA World XI.

“When you play with him and see what he does with a ball, nothing surprises me any more. One of these days, he will make the ball talk.”

—Barcelona teammate Eidur Gudjohnsen on Ronaldinho, December 2006

2006-07 was a different season for Ronaldinho, many attribute it to hisoverconfidence after winning the UCL and also to the fact that Brazil finished as quarterfinalists in the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany. Ronaldinho scored his 50th goal for FC Barcelona against Villareal and the 51st against the same with an overhead kick. he scored once and set up two goals in Barca’s 4-0 win over Club America in the FIFA Club World Cup but lost the final 1-0 to Sporting Club Internacional. Ronaldinho was the recipient of the Bronze Ball Award for the competition.

The next day, Ronaldinho finished third in the 2006 FIFA World Player of the Yearbhind Italy’s world cup winning Captain Fabio Cannavaro and Frenchman Zinedine Zidane. Ronaldinho was forced to miss a charity match on 13 March due to an injury he had picked


up several days earlier in Barcelona’s 3–3 El Clásico draw with Real Madrid.Although Ronaldinho scored his career-best 21 league goals, the team lost the title to Real with a worse head-to-head record, as both teams finished the season with the same number of points.

He had played his 200th career match for Barca in 2007-8 season, which was a season to forget. his season ended prematurely. his focus on modelling put his fitness into doubt, many considering him past his prime. Thaksin Sinawatra, who owned Manchester City at that time was interested in acquiring him but he rejected the offer.

A few clips showing Ronaldinho’s skills are as under.

Ronaldinho in 2006 (left) and in 2008 (right). in the 2007-08 season Ronaldinho’s fitness was the center of doubt, with his bellybecoming literally flabby.

Ultimately, Ronaldinho left the club and joined A.C Milan in July 2008 on a three year contract, a deal thought to be worth around £5.1 million (€6.5 million) a year, for €22.05M plus €1.05M bonus each season (€24.15M in 2010). He was given number 80, as team mate Clarence Seedorf had the number 10 jersey.

Ronaldinho, in November 2008 for A.C Milan.

His first season for A.C Milan was a bit blunt. his fitness was in concern due to late night partying and lack of dedication in training. in 32 appearances, he had scored 10 goals in 32 appearances and despite a good start, he often ended up on the bench and was used as a substitute very often. Carlo Ancelotti, his coach at Milan in his first


season in Italy once commented: “The decline of Ronaldinho hasn’t surprised me. His physical condition has always been very precarious. His talent though has never been in question.”

He didn’t start his second season brightly, again due to a lack of fitness. but he made it by leaps and bounds and rediscovered his true form later on. he changed his position from attacking midfielder to left winger, which was more familiar for him. He was Milan’s best player that season and was the assists leader in the 2009-10 Serie A season. He did play against Manchester United and gave A.C Milan the lead but Milan lost 3-2 with Paul Scholes scoring once and Wayne Rooney scoring twice.

He left Milan in 2011, but his legacy did not end there folks.throughout his career in Europe, he appeared in many different ads notably Nike and Pepsi.

He returned to Brazil in January 2011, and despite offers from boyhood side Gremio he joined Rio de Janeiro side Flamengo. He was linked to Blackburn Rovers, Corinthians, Palmeiras and the Los Angeles Galaxy.He was greeted by more than 20,000 fans at his unveiling at his new club on 13 January 2011.

Ronaldinho unveiled in front of fans upon signing with Flamengo. Flamengo is based in Rio de Janeiro, one of the world’s most colorful cities.

Ronaldinho scored his first goal for Flamengo in the 3–2 victory against Boavista on 6 February 2011.On 27 February, he converted a second-half free kick for Flamengo to beat Boavista 1–0 and win his first piece of silverware with the


team, the Taca Guanabara. Ronaldinho lifted his first trophy with Flamengo after curling in a right-footed shot over the wall in the 71st minute at Ergenhao stadium. The goal gave Flamengo its 19th Taça Guanabara title, which earned the Campeonato Carioca title two months later, as the team also won the Taca Rio. On 27 July 2011, Ronaldinho scored a hat-trick in Flamengo’s 5–4 away win against rivals Santos, after being 3–0 down inside the first 30 minutes. On 31 May 2012, after being absent for a few days, he sued Flamengo claiming lack of payment for four months and cancelled his contract with the club; a thing that commonly happens in Brazilian football.

Ronaldinho unveiled at Atletico Mineiro

His bestdays of Brazilian football after Gremio began with Atletico Mineiro. Ronaldinho joined it on 4th June 2012 in a six-month contract, just four days after leaving Flamengo. He wore number 49 in reference to his mother’s birth year since his preferred number 10 was already assigned to Guilherme in the 2012 season. and this was the beginning of one of his finest days of Brazilian football.

Ronaldinho made his debut for Atletico Mineiro on 9th June 2012, playing for 90 minutes in a 1–0 away win against Palmeiras,and scored his first goal for the club on 23 June 2012 against Nautico, from the penalty spot. Ronaldinho led Atlético Mineiro to a good 2012 season, in which the club finished second in the 2012 Brasileirao and qualified for the 2013


Copa Libertadores. Ronaldinho won the Bola de Ouro award and was selected as the best player in the league.

In 2013, Ronaldinho helped Atlético win the Campeonato Mineiro and led the club to its first title of the Copa Libertadores. Ronaldinho scored four goals and assisted on seven occasions during Atlético’s dramatic title run, which included consecutive comebacks from 0–2 first leg defeats in both the semi-finals against Argentinian Newell’s Old Boys and the finals against Club Olimpia from Paraguay. Both ties were determined in Atlético’s favour after penalty shootouts. Even though Ronaldinho had been injured for a large period in the second half of the season, he was voted the South American footballer of the year for the year 2013.

He did renew his contract for the 2014 season,and won the 2014 Recopa Sudamericana. He however, left the club in July reaching an agreement to cancel his contract by mutual consent.

Yet, his legacy was strong, and still remains an inspiration to young an aspiring footballers.

Ronaldinho signed with Liga MX side Queretaro in September 2014, a two year contract. Ronaldinho made his debut for Querétaro in a 1–0 loss to Tigres UANL where he missed a penalty kick. In his next match, however, against Guadalajara, he had a much better game, setting up Camilo Sanvezzo to score as well as scoring himself from a penalty kick in a 4–1 win.On 30 October 2014, he scored a free kick against Atlas during an away match at the Estadio Jalisco.

On 18 April 2015, Ronaldinho scored twice against Liga MX


title-holders América in an away game at the Estadio Azteca, in which his team won 4–0.All of the spectators, mostly consisting of América supporters, gave a standing ovation to Ronaldinho after his goals had brought him to tears. After the match, Ronaldinho stated in an interview, “It is an emotion to live more. I had an ovation at the Bernabéu and now here. I never imagined this. It is something that makes me like Mexico even more and I feel right at home.”

Ronaldinho scored two penalties in consecutive matches, the second giving Querétaro the classification to the Liga MX playoffs & on 17th May 2015, Querétaro progressed to the semi-finals after defeating Veracruz 4–3 aggregate. In the second match, Ronaldinho scored a free kick with the help ofmade nine appearances during his two-month stint at the club, failing to impress and being heavily criticized by the fans.Fluminense sporting director Mario Bittencourt stated, “Ronaldinho asked us for a meeting. He respectfully told us he didn’t feel he was able to perform as good as he wanted and that it was a bad situation for him. He made a great gesture in saying he wasn’t being the player he felt he could be right now. I’ll never speak about whether or not he is retiring. That’s not something you say about a player of his calibre. He was always spectacular, as player and person.”

Ronaldinho, at the 2008 Summer Olympics for Brazil.

Despite the 2002 FIFA World Cup, 2004 Copa America and the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup in his


hands, there was the disappointment of 2006 FIFA World Cup hurting Ronaldinho. However, Ronaldinho was named in Brazil’s 2008 Summer Olympics squad on July 7th, 2008 as one of the over-age players.Barcelona initially blocked the move because of his then-upcoming Champions League commitments with the club, but the decision was later nullified following Ronaldinho’s transfer to Milan, who in turn permitted him to make the trip to Beijing, China.Ronaldinho captained the team, and he scored his only two goals in a 5–0 victory over New Zealand before Brazil were beaten by Argentina in the semi-final. Brazil finished with the bronze medal after defeating Belgium 3–0 in the bronze medal match. It was however sad to see Ronaldinho not being selected for the 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cupsquads, had he been selected Brazil could have won either of those world cups or at least either a silver or bronze medal. it is sad to see such great talent overlooked by the Brazilian Football Federation.

Danone, EA Sports, Unicef, Gatorade, Nike and Pepsi are among the list of many brands endorsed by Ronaldinho and also among those whose ads he has appeared in.

and, his talent hasn’t left him. watch one of his signature no look passes for a friendly he played with Peruvian club Club Deportivo Municipal. This pass, is the pass of the century.

This friendly of 1999 vs Argentina was one of Ronaldinho’s first international friendlies. watch the video for an amazing display of his skills.

Currently, Ronaldinho is plying his trade in Premier Futsal the top


division of Futsal in India. even in Indoor Football, Ronaldinho hasn’t lost his skills and in fact he made headlines when he helped Goa to a 5-2 win over Bengaluru in which he scored all 5 of Goa’s goals. Watch these clips:

Ronaldinho is open to a move to America’s Major League Soccer (MLS), and despite his age he is not only fit and amazing but also the skills that he put into Lionel Messi. but Messi’s skills are different and Ronaldinho is the true maestro, the true magician, the Samba football king. Even today, he is among the most loved football players on the planet and is still open to a return to international football to help Brazil rise again :).

Dedicated to the UEFA Euro 2016 campaign ofthe Boys in Green to bow out badly, but this tournament was full of surprises.

Who would have thought they would overcome Italy 1-0. Who would have thought Robbie Brady would score the game winner, many people even called Ireland’s rescue 1199 and told the fire department that Robbie Brady is on fire (meaning he scored Ireland’s late winner against Italy). Wow, the nation was in loads of Celebrations.

July is coming to an end, I hope the big star names of the Republic of Ireland land good deals in Europe’s top leagues.

Iceland, is actually an island but it isn’t full of ice. it has some pastures, a lot of volcanoes and yes, it is in the northern latitudes of the northern hemisphere. A large part of its electricity comes from geothermal sources such as hot water springs. and yes, they are a tourist attraction.

Apart from them,despite facing financial ruin. Instead it jailed the bankers, focused its efforts on tourism to bring the economy back from the brink and now it’s one of the best places to live in the world.

Handball is Iceland’s national sport. Pictured here is the team that won Gold at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China.

Prior to their run to the Euro 2016 quarter-finals, the only team sport that Iceland have been considered heavyweights is handball, the nation’s national sport. The men’s handball team won a silver medal at the Beijing Summer Olympics in 2008, which was only Iceland’s fourth ever medal in the multi-sports competition.

Wow, look at that. That proves Iceland is the world’s best nation to live in. and yes, I have to learn the Icelandic language.

Diabetes increase warning

World heritage sites under threat

UK stamps celebrate Queen at 90

Transcript:

The World Health Organisation says there's been a fourfold increase in diabetes in the past four decades. Worldwide nearly one-in-11 adults now has the disease. In one of the largest studies to date, it's been found that poor and middle income countries had seen the steepest rise in cases. That's prompted a warning that diabetes has reached levels that could bankrupt some health systems.

The Great Barrier Reef, the Inca city of Machu Picchu in Peru – just two of the world's most precious natural and cultural heritage sites. But they're under threat from industrial activity like never before. That's the warningfrom the charity WWF – the World Wildlife Fund. It says that half of the 229 world heritage sites could be at risk from developments such as logging, fishing and oil exploration.

The Royal Mail here in the UK has released a historic image of the Queen, Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince George. It's going to be used to make four new postage stamps to mark the Queen's 90th birthday. Prince George is, of course, William's son. Here he is, posing for his very first stamp… The Royal Mail has also produced a further six stamps to mark the birthday.

Betel or 'paan' leaves from India maybe the next item to be banned by the European Union (EU), which has already imposed an import ban on Alphonso mangoes over claims of a fruit fly infestation.

The EU's Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) warned in its annual report this week that there have been consistent reports of Salmonella contamination of betel leaves from the country.

The EU had already issued a ban on the import of paan leaves from Bangladesh earlier this year, effective until at least end July.

"The continuing reason since 2011 for the high number of reports on Salmonella is paan leaves. The continuous reports notified by the UK prompted the adoption of a safeguard measure


suspending temporarily imports of paan leaves from Bangladesh and setting up reinforced checks for paan leaves from India and Thailand," the RASFF 2013 annual report said.

Salmonella poisoning causes severe diarrhoea and vomiting in humans.

The RASFF has issued 111 notifications or warnings to India on food contamination last year, of which 12 concern curry leaves and 84 'okra' or ladyfinger.

"Apart from these findings, also five notifications on chilli peppers are noteworthy with sometimes high levels reported," the report concluded.

India also came in as the second highest in terms of overall notifications with 257 in total after China's total of 433.

The EU ban on Alphonso mangoes effective from May 1 had triggered widespread protests, including a petition to the British government to overturn the ban.

EU inspectors are now expected inthe eyes.

Appellant asked if he could have the mask. Mason refused and left. According to

Mason, he threw the mask into the street as he left the apartment complex.

      Appellant then went to Mechelle Patterson’s apartment and talked with Floyd

McCoy about needing to get some money. According to Patterson, appellant was in

possession of a small revolver while in the apartment. After discussing ways to get

money, appellant made the decision to attempt to rob someone to gain money. He and

McCoy left the apartment and appeared to be waiting in the breezeway of the apartment

adjacent to the parking area. McCoy then returned to the apartment without appellant.

      On this evening, shortly after appellant left Patterson’s apartment, the decedent,

Islander Tavira, returned to


the apartment with Maria Rodriguez and two of her children.

As they exited their vehicle and began to approach the breezeway, an African-American

man dressed in black clothes and wearing a mask covering his face approached Tavira

from the breezeway. The man demanded money from Tavira. After being told by

Tavira that he did not have any money, the man demanded money a second time.

      At this time, Rodriguez’s young son darted past the man and headed through the

breezeway toward Rodriguez’s apartment. Theman who accosted Tavira turned and

began to chase the child. Tavira and Rodriguez also ran after the child. As Tavira was

going through the breezeway, the man turned and fired multiple shots at Tavira. Tavira

was struck by at least four shots and one proved to be fatal. Tavira fell to the ground,

and it was eventually determined by emergency personnel that he died as a result of the

gunshot wounds.

      The assailant was not captured on the night of the shooting. However, at trial,

Patterson testified that she watched the shooting from her apartment.         Patterson

testified that, immediately after the shooting, appellant ran past her apartment and

exited the complex, headed toward a school located on the backside of the complex.

picked up her car.

       Olvera testified that, on the night in question, during a telephone conversation,

appellant told her he had done “something stupid.” Further, at her apartment later,

appellant recounted that he accosted a man and told him to give him whatever he had

and he tookTavira responded that he had no money, the man demanded it

a second time.

       After the second demand for money, the male child with Rodriguez ran through

dead in an upstairs closet of her apartment. Upon arrival, the police discovered the badly decomposing body of Annie Mae Bullock, age 36. The body was transferred that same day to Chapel Hill where Assistant Chief Medical Examiner Dr. James Michael Sullivan performed an autopsy. The autopsy revealed that the cause of death was suffocation.
Living in the apartment at 1027 Eighth Street, Wilmington, North Carolina, were: Annie Mae Bullock and two of her children, Teresa and Geneva, age 17; a cousin, Fontella Whitaker, age 19; and a friend, Sabrina Wallace, age 19. Teresa's two-year old child, Geneva's two-month old infant and Sabrina's one-year old baby were also residing in the apartment.
On 3 May 1986, Fontella Whitaker went to the police station and informed the police that Teresa Bullockhad murdered her mother on 25 April 1986. Fontella admitted her involvement in the case and turned state's witness. Geneva Bullock and Sabrina Wallace also agreed to testify for the state against defendant in return for lesser charges being filed against them. In the next two days, defendant was arrested and indicted for murder in the first degree and conspiracy.
At trial, Geneva Bullock recalled that on the morning of 25 April 1986 defendant woke her up saying "Let's get mama." They went downstairs and found Ms. Bullock lying on the couch with her face to the wall. She was listening to the stereo. Defendant deliberately turned the stereo off and the television on. Ms. Bullock said she wanted to listen to the stereo and cut the television off.


the head with the bottle. The victim yelled, "That's enough, I'm going to call the cops. You're going to jail now." As she turned to go to the telephone, she tripped over the coffee table and fell. Defendant immediately sat on her chest to hold her down and began choking her with her hands. At some point, the victim called out to Sabrina that "if you'll help me, I'll give you a hundred dollars." Defendant asked her sister to hand her the pillow which she had specially prepared by wrapping it in plastic bags and placed on the stairs. Geneva did so and defendant held it over her mother's face for "more than ten minutes." The victim struggled for approximately three to five minutes. Defendant then announced, "Mama'sas suffering from a paranoid schizophrenic disorder and had been involuntarily committed for psychiatric treatment an undetermined number of times. As a result, she was unable to perform her job duties at Textilease and began receiving social security benefits. Because of her particular disability, it was determined that Annie Mae Bullock was incapable of handling her own business affairs. Therefore, Teresa Bullock, the oldest child living in the same household, was named as payee. On 22 April 1986, three days before her death, Annie Mae Bullock went to the local Social Security office and spoke with Wayne Lloyd, a claims representative. According to Mr. Lloyd, Ms. Bullock suspected her oldest daughter of spending the checks and wished to change her named payee. Mr. Lloyd called Teresa to inform


her of her mother's wishes and to ask her the whereabouts of a retroactive disability check in the amount of $5,395.00. When defendant stated that she still held the check, Mr. Lloyd asked her to return it to him as soon as possible. The check was not returned.
Fontella Whitaker testified that one or two nights before Annie Mae Bullock's death, defendant had attempted to suffocate her mother but decided against it when she realized her face was turned to the wall. Sabrina Wallace also gave evidence of several occasions upon which defendant had obtained various types of pills to put into her mother's beer or water for the purpose of putting her to sleep. On the evening before the murder, "[s]he was upstairs in herwell, she already hadwas holding it against her sister. There is evidence that defendant stated "Let's get mama" before going downstairs to initiate the fight which led to defendant suffocating her mother with a pillow. There is evidence that defendant planned to kill her mother two weeks prior to this occasion but "chickened out." There is evidence that defendant placed different medications in her mother's beer and water in preparing to kill her. There is evidence that defendant specially prepared the pillow by wrapping it in plastic bags for the purpose of suffocating her mother. As for motive, there is evidence that defendant killed her mother for money: she knew her mother intended to remove her as the payee on her disability checks, she offered to split the disability check in

"OITNB" star Taryn Manningis clearly pissed at her former film collaborator over a movie that has languished for years, even though she's the biggest star by far in the flick.

Taryn's filed suit against Cline Mayo, who was working with her since 2007 to get her film "Droppers" made. Taryn was slated to star in the movie and a trailer was finally cut this past February.

But something happened between the 2, because Taryn says their partnership abruptly ended, even though she says she worked tirelessly on the project, funding the trailer and creating the "look, feel, and scenario."

It seems Taryn's lawsuit is a preemptive strike, because she says Mayo is about to sue her for copyright infringement.

1960, at approximately 7:00 p.m., while she was on duty as a practical nurse at employer's establishment. She was "standing on a chair in front of a Frigidaire putting some supplies in a cabinet" when the chair tilted or slipped and she fell to the floor. Landing on her face, she claimed to have injured her nose, right leg, middle finger and back, and also suffered some bruises on her face. Without requesting or receiving medical aid she continued with her regular duties in the establishment until November 11, 1960, when she either quit or her services were terminated as unsatisfactory to the employer. So far as the record reflects, she did not consult a physician until February 10, 1961. The claim was filed on February 1, 1961.Claimant's friend, who was not a co-employee, testified that on the day of the alleged accident she was at employer's place of business "looking for an opening (job) in the kitchen," but "wasn't there to stay"; the witness saw claimant fall from what "looked like a stool"; she then "got scared" and "just took off" without going to claimant's aid. According to claimant, two nurses at the establishment saw the accident. Neither of them was called to testify at the hearing.
The evidence as to the occurrence of the accident was contradicted by the employer who testified that the happening of a fall was not "mentioned" to her either by claimant or the other nurses; claimant did not, at the time of her alleged accident, "appear to be injured


Russia launched its sixth and final Project 636.3 (Improved Kilo-class) diesel-electric submarine (Kolpino) on order for the Black Sea Fleet on May 31.

At the ceremony, Vice Admiral Alexander Fedotenkov, deputy chief of the Russian Navy, revealed that Russia is now planning to order Project 636.3 submarines for the Pacific Fleet, and will later build more Improved Kilo-class boats for Russia’s Northern and Baltic Fleets.

The Varshavyanka-class (Project 636.3) is an improved version of Kilo-class submarines that features advanced stealth technology, extended combat range and the ability to strike land, surface and underwater targets.

Russia currently has four Project 636.3 vessels commissioned into service with the Black Sea Fleet and launched a fifth in March that is due to soon begin sea trials. While in the eastern Mediterranean Rostov-Na-Donu notably firedthe National Interest report, the 636.6 Varshavyanka is one of the 5 most lethal Russian submarines.

After years of inattention, Russia has embarked on an ambitious submarine-building program as part of its larger military modernization. As Defense News reported earlier this year, «Four different kinds of submarines are under construction and more are coming».

By comparison, the US only recently returned to building two nuclear attack submarines per year.

I was talking about Sixth Amendment, which explicitly gives the defense the
power to compel witnesses:

"In all criminal prosecutions, _the accused shall enjoy the right_ to a speedy
and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the
crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously
ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the
accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; _to have
compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor_ , and to have the
Assistance of Counsel for his defence."

The _subpoena ad testificandum_ , the process by which the prosecution may
compel witnesses, is a feature of the English common law that was well
familiar to the founders. Its use in the United States comes directly from
English precedent.

Beautiful,with a suspended license.

The drunken driving and interfering with an officer charges were not part of the trial.

Officer Keven McNeill testified that he was on patrol on West Thames Street shortly after 11:30 p.m. when he spotted Cairns' Ford Taurus weaving in front of his cruiser. Then, he said, the car drove onto the sidewalk as it made a right turn onto South Thames Street and pulled into the parking lot of a condominium complex, nearly hitting a parked car as it came to a stop.

McNeill said Cairns, who was alone in the car, left it and "stumbled" toward him. The officer said he ordered her to get back in her car, but she continued forward and "began yelling profanities at me."

McNeill said he stopped Cairns by grabbing


her elbow and arrested her.

Cairns told a much different story when she testified in her own defense. She said a friend she knows only as Rodney gave her a ride in her car from her home in Uncasville to Norwich complex where she has some furniture stored that she wanted to move.

At about 8:30 p.m. that night, Cairns said, Rodney was given a ride by a friend of his to the friend's home nearby in order to get the friend's truck to use in the move.

About 15 minutes later, Cairns testified, "I was standing out in the back (of the condominiums), and I saw two police cruisers pull in."

McNeill was in one of the cruisers, she said. "That's when he came after me. … I really didn't knowwhat was going on. … He grabbed my arm, and he put the handcuffs on."

Jurors deliberated less than an hour before finding Cairns guilty.

Cairns was convicted of drunken driving in 2002 and 2010. She also was convicted of driving with a suspended license in 2004.

She is currently serving a two-year prison sentence after being found in October to have violated her probation for the 2010 conviction.


Guardian Title then proposed to issue 7,000 shares of common stock to Coldwell Banker alone. The Department of Insurance was also informed of Guardian Title's intention to enter into an underwriting title agreement with Security Title Insurance Company, a California corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Safeco Insurance Company, engaged in the business of issuing title insurance policies.
Despite numerous requests, both telephonic and written, the department failed to act upon the application for the stock permit; it also failed to issue the license, taking the position that the authorization to sell stock was a condition precedent to the department's consideration of the license application. On January 30, 1976, Guardian Title made formal demand on the department for the approval of both applications.
On March 3, 1976, Coldwell Bankerhearings periodically on this matter.[7] As constituted, the hearings were concerned with the economic effect of permitting real estate brokers, through wholly owned subsidiary title companies (this being the relationship between Coldwell Banker and Guardian Title), to enter the title underwriting business, with particular emphasis on the impact such entries into the title underwriting business would have upon competition. The Department of Insurance hearing officer noted that, in addition to the Coldwell Banker-Guardian Title applications, there were 10 other similar applications under review by the department.
Seventeen witnesses testified. Two expert economists, familiar with the title insurance business, were presented; they were Dr. Irving H. Plotkin, senior economist for Arthur D. Little, Inc., appearing on behalf of California Land Title Association, and Dr. Alfred E. Hofflander, professor of finance


of business is extremely valuable in such an industry. Analyzing the financial data submitted by Guardian Title in connection with its application, Plotkin thought the rate of return (profit) expected was abnormally high, based as it was on significantly lower expenditures by Guardian Title. He made reference to the experience in northern California where entrants to the market that were broker-controlled not only garnered an astonishing percentage of the business from the very beginning, but continued to grow at the expense of the independent title companies who could statistically chart the fact that they were losing ground by the month. The primary example of this phenomena was a group called Founders, broker-controlled and operating in counties of northern California.
Hofflander, who testified at the administrative hearing, was the coauthorThere was a strong inference that petitioner Coldwell Banker, as a real estate broker, would be in a position to steer its customers needing ancillary real estate services in the direction of the providers of such services selected by Coldwell Banker.[10]
It was revealed that 20 title insurers currently held certificates of authority in California to issue title insurance policies, and that 14 of this group utilized underwritten title companies in the process. One hundred and twelve underwritten title companies were currently licensed in California, many of which also offered escrow services.[11]
The department made an analysis of the economic factors present in the title underwriting business with particular reference to the situation of Guardian Title. In most counties in California, recordings of land transactions are maintained on a grantor-grantee


had been renewed annually for a number of years before, and which was now denied by a decision of the hospital's board of directors, was "both fundamental and vested within the meaning of Bixby and Strumsky." (Anton, supra, 19 Cal.3d 802, 825.) The Anton court thus continues the traditional distinction made between an application for a license (a "privilege") and the revocation of a license (a "vested right").
We conclude, therefore, that, under Bixby, Strumsky and Anton, the right or interest of Coldwell Banker and Guardian Title, which was affected by the decision of the department and the Insurance Commissioner, was neither a "fundamental" right nor a "vested" right. The appropriate standard of judicial review by the trial court below was thus the substantial-evidence test and not the independent-judgmentdemonstrates legislative intent to confer upon the department and the Insurance Commissioner the duty and the power to investigate potentially dangerous business combinations and arrangements which threaten healthy competition in the title insurance industry. The language of the section contemplates the exercise of discretion by the administrative entities involved. That discretion was employed to consider that the "total transaction" referred to in Insurance Code section 839.1 included recognition of trends toward concentration of economic power portended by other similar pending applications. While discretion is not without limitation, we hold that it was properly exercised by the department and the commissioner in the case at bench in the decision denying Guardian Title's applications for an organizational permit and a license to transact business as an underwritten title company.

That is to say, in games where player judgment or response is required, the answer hasAt the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 the colony was invaded and quickly overrun by British and French forces during the Togoland campaign and placed under military rule. In 1916 the territory was divided into separate British and French administrative zones, and this was formalised in 1922 with the creation of British Togoland and French Togoland.

The colony was established towards the end of the period of European colonisation in Africa generally known as the "Scramble for Africa". Two separate protectorates were established in 1884. In February 1884, the chiefs of the town of Aného were kidnapped by German soldiers and forced to sign a treaty of protection.[3] In the Lomé region, the German explorer, medical doctor, imperial consul and commissioner for West Africa Gustav Nachtigal


was the driving force toward the establishment of the West African colonies of Togoland as well as Kamerun. From his base on the Spanish island possession Fernando Po in the Bight of Biafra he traveled extensively on the mainland of Africa. On 5 July 1884 Nachtigal signed a treaty with the local chief, Mlapa III [fr], in which he declared a German protectorate over a stretch of territory along the Slave Coast on the Bight of Benin. With the small gunboat SMS Möwe at anchor, the imperial flag was raised for the first time on the African continent. Consul Heinrich Ludwig Randad, Jr., resident agent of the firm C. Goedelts at Ouidah, was appointed as the first commissioner for the territory.[4]

Germany gradually extended its control inland. Colonial administratorsand settlers brought scientific cultivation to the country's main export crops (cacao, coffee, cotton). The total number of German officials in the colony was only 12 in 1890.[6] The colony’s infrastructure was developed to one of the highest levels in Africa.[7] Colonial officials built roads and bridges toward the interior mountain ranges and three rail lines from the capital, Lomé: along the coast to Aného in 1905, to Palime (modern Kpalimé) in 1907, and the longest line, the Hinterlandbahn, to Atakpamé by 1911.[8] By 1910, over 1,000[km?] of roads had been constructed by the colonial office.[6]

Map of Togoland in 1885.

Organised in 1888 with 25 Hausa infantry, the Polizeitruppe was used to enforce colonial authority over the hinterland of Togo. Expanded to 144 members in 1894, it conducted operations


against Kpandu, and "a number of towns in central Togo which had resisted the government were attacked and razed to the ground, the property of the inhabitants confiscated and the people fined sums ranging from 200 marks to 1,110 marks."[6] Over the remainder of the decade, an additional 35 expeditions were authorised by the colonial government.[6]

In 1895 the capital Lomé had a population of 31 Germans and 2,084 natives. By 1913 the native population had grown to 7,042 persons together with 194 Germans, including 33 women, while the entire colony had a German population of 316, including 61 women and 14 children.[9] In the years just before World War I, Lomé had grown into the "prettiest town in West Africa".[10] Because it was one of Germany's two self-supportingcolonies,[11] Togoland was acknowledged as a small but treasured possession.[according to whom?] This lasted until the outbreak of World War I.

After calling on the German colony to surrender on 6 August 1914, French and British troops invaded unopposed the next day. No military personnel were stationed in the protectorate. The police force consisted of a commander and deputy commander, 10 German sergeants, 1 native sergeant and 660 Togolese policemen deployed throughout the territory.[12] The Entente forces occupied Lomé, then advanced on a powerful new radio station near Kamina, east of Atakpamé. The colony surrendered on 26 August 1914, after the German technicians who had built the radio installation destroyed the station during the night of 24/25 August. In the weeks before the destruction, Kamerun, German Southwest Africa, German


East Africa and 47 ships on the high seas were sent reports of Allied actions, as well as warnings of trouble ahead.[13] On 27 December 1916, Togoland was separated into French and British administrative zones. After the end of World War I, newly established Czechoslovakia tried unsuccessfully to acquire the colony.[citation needed]. Following the ratification of the Treaty of Versailles, on 20 July 1922, Togoland formally became a League of Nations Class B mandate divided into French Togoland and British Togoland, covering respectively about two-thirds and one-third of the territory.[14]

The British area of the former German colony was integrated into Ghana in 1957 after a May 1956 plebiscite in which 58% of British-area residents voted to join Ghana upon its independence, rather than remaining under British-administered United NationsTrusteeship.

In 1914 a series of drafts were made for proposed Coat of Arms and Flags for the German Colonies. However, World War I broke out before the designs were finished and implemented and the symbols were never actually taken into use. Following the defeat in the war, Germany lost all its colonies and the prepared coat of arms and flags were therefore never used.


News about disability and disabled people in Japan

Nara Japan – A boardinghouse at a World Heritage-listed Buddhist temple in Japan’s old capital Nara has been serving as a place for the families of seriously ill and disabled people to take a much-needed break.

Last summer, 26-year-old Misato Komiyama from Maibara in Shiga Prefecture, western Japan, and her parents stayed at the boardinghouse on the premises of Todaiji, a temple complex known for the world’s largest bronze statue of Buddha.

It was the first family trip in around five years for wheelchair-bound Komiyama, who is paralyzed in all four limbs and sometime requires a ventilator.

On the first day of the family’s overnight trip to celebrate her birthday, community volunteers at the boardinghouse prepared a special meal for them.

Later, she was takenAlthough she has many progressive platforms, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's position on gay adoption is not as easy to decipher. It's not that she's flip-flopped on issues — rather, because she has been in politics, wearing many hats during various federal and state administrations, Clinton has carefully chosen when and to whom to speak to when it comes to LGBT rights, adoption included, by highlighting and downplaying them given whatever race she's running. However, since launching a second bid for president, Clinton has decidedly made LGBT issues one of the main focused of her primary campaign to win the Democratic nomination. Adoption, it seems, was bound to come up.

When it comes to gay couples and adoption, the topic seems to be snuggled in with Clinton's overall


support for "full federal equality " of LGBT Americans, as outlined on her official campaign website. According to The Advocate, when she spoke to the Human Rights Campaign in October, she seemed to be moving from what they called "tepidly tolerant" to full on activist. Clinton told the outlet that she was running "to stand up for the fundamental rights of LGBT Americans, and all Americans" and "enforcing" basic civil and human rights for LGBT Americans, and all Americans. That's more than most of the current headliners of the Republican party seem to be offering the LGBT community, but it's still vague and open to interpretation.

WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 27: U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton speaks about human rights during a event co-hosted by the Department ofwe retained the presumption of mother and father." In fairness, she was prescient as a savvy politician, noting in the same email that without these traditional gender roles, they would face backlash from conservative leaders and "a huge Fox-generated media storm led by Palin et al."

But that attention to minor details about what would ruffle certain feathers just doesn't fly with a real activist agenda concerning overall, full federal equality for everyone.

In her current primary run, Clinton has turned up the volume on her position for LGBT rights and issues. She is in support of marriage equality, protecting transgender rights, anti-discrimination legislation, and even tapping Republicans to extend Medicaid coverage for treatment and health care to people living with HIV and AIDs, according to her website.

Nearly 170 people died in the attack, more than 30 of them Oberoi staff and guests of the luxury hotel.

Many rooms were destroyed as the gunmen rampaged through the hotel, firing indiscriminately and setting off explosions.

The highest rates are seen in United States (17.99 per 100,000 males) followed by Australia (16.57 per 100,000 males). Australia has the highest crude suicide mortality rate in female youth aged between 15--24 years at 6.31 per 100,000, followed by Canada (6.08 per 100,000 females) and Singapore (6.02 per 100,000 females).

I filled in a few of the blank spots and adjusted some verbs to reflect the past tense but this surprisingly doubles as what I probably wanted to say about Jonathan Demme yesterday and couldn't. It's about his favorite actors but looking back, it's a fitting tribute because what American director was more curious about literally any kind of person he might find with his camera?

Jonathan Demme was one of America's most interesting and surprising directors. Though he's now best remembered for the modern classic The Silence of the Lambs (1991) it was actually something of an oddity in his filmography being the only horror film and, in some ways, the most classically controlled.

it's a traditional Demme picture. It features actors doing unexpected or suddenly signature electric work, weird musician cameos (what the hell is one of the members of 80s synth pop band Book of Love doing in there?), and diverse casting where most films would go with the default heavily male white cast. In fact, Silence might be his most white/male movie but that's part of its plot...

Film looks at


and Jayne Ludlow were both denied by the woodwork
- inside the same minute - but there was one final goal to put the
icing on Arsenal's cake, Gemma Davison turning the ball home in
stoppage time after Danielle Hill had fumbled Lianne
Sanderson's cross.

For Akers, there was no shortage of good news before the serious
stuff starts later this month. His new signings wasted no time in
settling in, Anita Asante filled the defensive void left by Faye
White's long-term injury, Ludlow was a commanding stand-in
captain and Smith - well, Smith was just as good as ever.

On the evidence of the recent heatwave, you might have expected
a warm, balmy night in Crewe. Not a bit of it. The players emerged
into a chilly wind and drizzle under slate grey skies.

Fortunately, the football was much brighter.Smith was straight
back into her usual high-class groove with a dipping volley which
flew just wide and then a curling effort which was touched past the
post by Hill.

Ludlow also went close. She soared highest to meet Rachel
Yankey's early corner but could not divert the ball goalwards.
Then the captain saw a first-time effort dribble wide after Hill
scuffed a clearance straight at the Wales midfielder.

Everton also had their moments. Ludlow had to race back to block
Jill Scott's cross after the midfielder had found acres of
space in the Arsenal box. Then Jodie Handley fired Becky
Easton's cross just over the bar.

A goal looked on the cards and it duly arrived in style after 23
minutes. Smith, once again the outstanding player on show, looked
up and launched a perfect chip over Hill and into the


net from 30
yards. It was a real touch of class.

Everton were fortunate not to go two goals down two minutes
later. Yankey lashed a shot against the far post and Ludlow,
following up smartly, found the same upright with her shot.

No matter. With this Arsenal side, another goalscoring chance is
never far away and so it proved just after the half-hour mark.
Carney lifted the ball towards the far post and Chapman bundled the
ball in after her first effort was blocked.

The writing was on the wall for Everton but they refused to
buckle. Indeed, Kelly McDougall should have reduced the deficit a
minute later but she squandered a gilt-edged chance in front of
goal from Handley's pinpoint cross. The same player then fired
just wide as Arsenal were temporarily forced on the back foot.

A goal thenwould have kept the game bubbling under but, with
Akers' side in command, the second half was a less frenetic
affair. Alex Scott had the first decent chance after the restart,
racing onto Yankey's lofted pass before prodding the ball wide
of the target.

Handley continued to make life difficult for Mary Phillip but
Everton struggled to really threaten Emma Byrne in the Arsenal
goal. Substitute Fara Williams got plenty of power behind one
long-range effort, but not enough direction.

At the other end, Yankey continued to flicker on the flank. One
jinking run on 63 minutes left two defenders trailing in her wake
but Arsenal's MBE shot straight at Hill.

After a promising debut, off came Chapman and on came Ciara
Grant. The personnel had changed but the game's pattern
didn't deviate. Yankey went close again, firing onto the roof

Trailers: Two new Etrian Odyssey games? We won't say no to that!

News by Matt S.

There are two new Etrian Odyssey games on the way. One of the more famous Wizardry clones is going to hit 2015 in a big way, with the next numbered release in the series - Etrian Odyssey V - being joined with a collaboration with Spike Chunsoft's Mystery Dungeon franchise to create a roguelike that will land in Japan on the Nintendo 3DS on March 5.

Etrian Odyssey V will no doubt be a "safe" entry in the franchise which will offer more of the same that we've always enjoyed. There's nothing wrong with that, of course, though it is interesting that a release platform has not been announced.

Meanwhile, the Mystery Dungeon collaboration is


Monde. And most recently, residents staged a "Save The Times-Picayune" rally when owners announced plans to reduce publication to three days a week.

These uprisings pale in comparison to what's taken place this offseason with the Saints, perhaps New Orleans' most universally revered cultural institution.

The NFL bounty scandal has roiled the Who Dat Nation like nothing before, stirring the defiant streaks seemingly embedded in the DNA of its constituents.

Like Mike Brown and Tony Hayward before him, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has born the brunt of the onslaught. Once considered a hero for his deft behind-the-scenes work in guiding the Saints back to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, he's now become Public Enemy No. 1 after levying unprecedented sanctions against the Saints coaches, players and administrators.

T-shirt bonanza

Meanwhile, a cottage industry of anti-NFL/pro-Saints T-shirts has arisen across town. They're ubiquitous, from the treasured tourist hot spots in the French Quarter to the trendy shops along Magazine Street.

Patrick Brower, the head of operations at Dirty Coast, estimated his shop has sold more than 4,000 shirts since they went on the market, making it the fastest-selling shirt in the store's 7-year history. One of them was worn by Jimmy Buffet during his concert at Woldenberg Park during Final Four week.

Fleurty Girl experienced similar success. Owner Lauren Thom said the store received more than 2,000 orders in the first 24 hours after her design was posted online.

"That's more than we usually do in a month," said Thom,

'Do not serve this man'

Next door to Kyoto on Prytania Street, customers line up daily to devour chef Bryan Gilmore's latest ice cream concoctions at the Creole Creamery. Gilmore isn't a huge sports fan. But he is an ardent defender of all things New Orleans.

Catherine Threlkeld / The Times-Picayune
Creole Creamery owner David Bergeron has a picture of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell telling employees not to serve the commissioner. Bergeron said an hour doesn't go by that a customer or two doesn't snap a photo of the mug shot.
So when he heard about the draconian suspensions from the NFL office, he knew the ice cream shop needed to somehow make a statement of itsown. A tour of the Internet produced the answer.

Now, prominently displayed below a Dr. Bob "Be Nice or Leave" sign and just behind the devilishly delectable tubs of Turtlemisu and Monkey Hill Dew, is a framed portrait of Goodell with the edict: "Do Not Serve This Man."

Owner David Bergeron said an hour doesn't go by that a customer or two doesn't snap a photo of the mug shot. It's been so popular he's made a copy to display at his Lakeview parlor.

"I think he's kind of sticking it to us," said Bergeron, a season-ticket holder since 2006. "I understand why he has to take a hard line. However, what he's doing is sabotaging the team and ruining our entire season."

No matter whether the next US president is named Obama or Romney, the Wall Street financier elite that dominates the United States is psychotically planning a series of tax increases for the middle class and working people, cuts in benefits and social services, and a transfer of wealth in favor of the top 1%, all of which will add up to a further cut of about 25% in the depleted US standard of living.

The mythical “fiscal cliff”

This outcome is being prepared right now by a demagogic propaganda campaign around the slogan that the United States faces a “fiscal cliff” at the end of the current calendar year. This alleged fiscal cliff is the result of two factors. First, the tax cuts enacted by George Bush


a system of unemployment insurance, which is now being sorely tested. When the depression began in 2008-9, the Obama stimulus bill extended jobless payments to unemployed workers for 99 weeks in many states. Now, with the depression grinding on, more than 5 million people have been unemployed for more than six months, and most of these have joined the ranks of the 99ers - those who have been jobless for almost 2 years. Some 23 states, especially those governed by Republicans, have now cut eligibility by as much as five months, impacting a half million unemployed. Only three states still offer 99 weeks of benefits, and that will end in September 2012.

The one federal program that still contributes to keeping the endangeredA new accuser has come forward to claim that Jeffrey Epstein sexually assaulted her when she was 14 and then raped her at the age of 15 inside his New York City townhouse.

Jennifer Araoz, now 32, told NBC’s Today show on Wednesday morning that she was first approached in 2001 by a recruiter who brought her to Epstein’s home on the Upper East Side promising that he could help with her career. Once there, she said she was initially treated well, given wine and a tour of the house before being handed $300.

She said she was invited back on several occasions, each time being given an envelope containing the same amount of money, usually by Epstein’s secretary.

Araoz said Epstein showed her his massage room—where erotic paintings hung around


the massage table—which he said was his favorite room in the house. He asked her to dress only in her underwear and massage him.

Soon the meetups would include more and more sexually explicit requests. She said the hedge-fund investor would make her massage his nipples or he would masturbate in front of her.

Eventually, in fall of 2002, when she had turned 15, Araoz said Epstein grabbed her during one of the massages and forced her to have sex with him.

“He raped me, forcefully raped me,” Araoz told NBC News. “I was terrified, and I was telling him to stop. ‘Please stop.’”

Epstein was arrested over the weekend and charged with sex trafficking and conspiracy.

DHS surveys have large sample sizes, usually between 5000 and 30,000 households, depending on the site's (country) sampling frame. Most of the respondents came from the Enumeration Areas (EAs) from the most recently completed population census (Demographic and Health Survey Program [@CR12]). The survey usually occurred every 5 years for most participating countries. In addition, the sampling method used in the DHS survey was based on a stratified sampling technique which subdivided administrative units into different clusters and sampled households from these clusters.

Dear Confrères and Consœurs:
Please join us for the joint induction ceremonies for new members to the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs and to Société Mondiale du Vin at the Union League Club of Chicago and for a celebratory dinner immediately thereafter.

Société Mondiale du Vin is an organization within the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs dedicated to the appreciation of fine wine and other crafted beverages. It encourages the collection and dissemination of information on these libations as well as their enjoyment, understanding, procurement and collection. In short, it provides a means for mutual sharing and recognition among Chaîne members who are beverage oriented or who would wish to learn more about fine wines andOn April 26, 1954, the Salk polio vaccine field trials, involving 1.8 million children, begin at the Franklin Sherman Elementary School in McLean, Virginia. Children in the United States, Canada and Finland participated in the trials, which used for the first time the now-standard double-blind method, whereby neither the patient nor attending doctor knew if the inoculation was the vaccine or a placebo.

On year later, on April 12, 1955, researchers announced the vaccine was safe and effective and it quickly became a standard part of childhood immunizations in America. In the ensuing decades, polio vaccines would all but wipe out the highly contagious disease in the Western Hemisphere.

Polio, known officially as poliomyelitis, is an infectious disease that has existed since ancient times


and is caused by a virus. It occurs most commonly in children and can result in paralysis. The disease reached epidemic proportions throughout the first half of the 20th century. During the 1940s and 1950s, polio was associated with the iron lung, a large metal tank designed to help polio victims suffering from respiratory paralysis breathe.

President Franklin Roosevelt was diagnosed with polio in 1921 at the age of 39 and was left paralyzed from the waist down and forced to use leg braces and a wheelchair for the rest of his life. In 1938, Roosevelt helped found the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, later renamed the March of Dimes. The organization was responsible for funding much of the research concerning the disease, including the Salk vaccine trials.

The manbehind the original vaccine was New York-born physician and epidemiologist Jonas Salk (1914-95). Salk’s work on an anti-influenza vaccine in the 1940s, while at the University of Michigan School of Public Health, led him, in 1952 at the University of Pittsburgh, to develop the inactivated polio vaccine (IPV), based on a killed-virus strain of the disease. The 1954 field trials that followed, the largest in U.S. history at the time, were led by Salk’s former University of Michigan colleague, Dr. Thomas Francis, Jr.

As they were drinking sake, Harada says that the reactions from the fans when Persona 5‘s delay from 2015 to Summer 2016 was announced on Niconico apparently made Kanada have a pale reaction.

After that, the members out drinking concluded that maybe it would be better to return to work.

There's something inexplicably authentic about Oklahoma's Travis Linville, and it's carried him from dive bars and classrooms to "The Tonight Show" and esteemed theaters and festivals across the globe.

Linville is legendary regionally for his work in the now-defunct Burtschi Brothers and for his behind-the-scenes influenceâ€”including producing John Fullbright's first album and teaching guitar lessons to a then nine-year-old Parker Millsap. The "Oklahoma Gazette" rightly called him a "godfather of modern Oklahoma folk" and noted that his success opened doors for a state teeming with talent: a mentor and contemporary for other Oklahoma acts like Fullbright, Millsap, Turnpike Troubadours and John Moreland.

His acclaimed solo releases


include 2012's "Sun or Moon" and 2014's "Out on the Wire" EP, called "rich, soulful and beautiful" by Jimmy LaFave. A live audition of a track from the latter even netted him a role in a William H. Macy film, in which he performed the song.

A gifted instrumentalist, Linville is also known for his work as a sideman with Texas songwriter Hayes Carll, who calls him "criminally underrated."

Independently, Linville has sold 15,000 albums and played thousands of shows across his 20-plus year career, with an ever-evolving repertoire deeply rooted in songcraft, sly humor and subtlety.
