Abdelrahman finally agreed to talk to the Italian magistrates in Cambridge on Tuesday, prosecutors said. On Wednesday, the team from Rome, backed up by British authorities, visited her home and office, taking a computer, a hard disk, a USB key, a phone and some unspecified documents.

This “will be useful to bring definitive clarity, in an unequivocal and objective way, to the role of the tutor in consideration of the investigation”, the prosecutors said in a statement.

Cambridge University did not immediately respond to requests for a comment. Abdelrahman, who is Egyptian, has never spoken publicly about the death of her student and took a leave of absence in the wake of his killing.

Reuters could not immediately reach Abdelrahman.

A senior legal sourcein Rome said Abdelrahman had told magistrates that Regeni had picked his own research subject. He said she had shed no new light on the case and added that this was “disappointing”.

Regeni had been looking into Egypt’s independent unions for his thesis and attracted the suspicion of the Cairo government before his disappearance, sources told Reuters in 2016.

Security and intelligence sources told Reuters that Regeni had been arrested in Cairo on 25 January 2016. His disfigured body was found in a ditch more than a week later. Egyptian officials have denied any involvement in his killing.

The murder has strained ties between Italy and Egypt, traditional Mediterranean allies with strong economic ties.

Behind these crosses, hidden in a vast concrete jungle, lie the villages of Chuim, Shirley Rajan and Pali — a little farther away. These are among the last surviving gaothans of Mumbai. The rapid pace of redevelopment has taken a steep toll on them, greatly shrinking their expanse, as cottages gave way to buildings. The narrow winding roads which can barely accommodate a car, the paver-blocked pathways that have raised the height of the roads and shortened the compound walls of the houses, new buildings that nearly touch the next house, indicate that the change hasaggrieved,” says Mumbai suburban collector Shekhar Channe.

The recognition of East Indians as a community in Mumbai dates back to 17th century. They claim to be the original inhabitants of Mumbai, along with the ‘koli’ (fishing) community. A lot of Portuguese influence is seen in the architecture of the gaothan houses as well as the language the people – Marathi with a mix of Portuguese. Their cuisine, comprising popular dishes such as ‘duck moil’, ‘fugiyas’ and ‘sorpotel’, is similar to their Goan counterpart with a difference in preparation. It is this way of life that the East Indians are yearning to preserve. “Others have their native villages. This is mine. These are my roots, my heritage,” says Colman Pereira of Pali village.

She responded to empiric cefepime with de-escalation to oral cefuroxime as her neutrophil count recovered. She was dismissed from the hospital on only acyclovir prophylaxis.

A follow-up outpatient bone marrow showed ongoing remission of the AML, and she underwent monthly consolidation therapy with cytarabine; cycle three was delayed by two weeks due to leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. She declined bone marrow transplantation.

Nine months after diagnosis, she was found to have a relapse of the AML. Therapy was started with decitabine, idarubicin, and cytarabine. She developed profound neutropenia. Her antimicrobial prophylaxis at this time consisted of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, levofloxacin, and acyclovir; she was not on any antifungal prophylaxis during this period. Per review


of the hematology-oncology records, it is unclear as to the reason for no antifungal prophylaxis; she had not previously had any adverse reactions to antifungal medication. Two weeks after starting this therapy, she noted some painless, nonpruritic, erythematous, slightly raised lesions on her arms and legs, less than 1 cm in diameter. As time passed, these remained asymptomatic but became darker in color and grew in size. These were noted in her medical record, but a biopsy was not offered at that time. Approximately four weeks after starting her chemotherapy, she developed increased fatigue, had more skin lesions (similar in character to the first lesions) forming on her trunk and all extremities, and noted that she was having asymptomatic fevers. She was admitted to the hospital.

Goodbye to August 2016

The last of this month has come and it's time to say 'Goodbye to August 2016'.

The weather this month was not that great, especially not the first twenty days, during which Koh Samui endured lots of rain and some very heavy wind, at a few times even storm like conditions and with lots of rain as well.

The last third of the month we saw the sun making a few appearances and the weatherturned a lot nicer, although we still had plenty of tropical showers, however, mostly during the late afternoon, early evening or during the night.

A similar August month as last year in 2015. The year 2014 August was more like a typical August with plenty of sunshine and good weather. Maybe next month or next year again?

Goodbye to August 2016; The seven days of the week again, with Wednesday having two options, morning and evening, once more an occasion to make merit, this time in Wat Lamai

This month typically sees overseas visitors come and visit the island and this year I was very enjoyable to reconnect with Farah, who I met some 18 years ago during my music touring days as a road manager, and he was with a


Japanese band by the name of Cornelius. We had some good food at Dcheed 2 for some outstanding pork sateh and 'raad na', Kobori for Japanese food, what else!? and Sabeinglae at The Wharf in Fisherman's Village for some of the best Thai food on the island.

Next month is coming on strong, just like Brenda Lee, and I'm still in preparation for the Khanom marathon, come 25th September, during which I hope to break a time under 4 hours. After that it's off to Phuket again for another PADI IDC on Phuket.

It's nice and sunny and a very blue sky is shaping up over Koh Samui this morning at our art of the island but other parts of the island may have partially clouded skies during the morningmoments early on in the day but the majority of the day was cloudy which culminated in heavy clouds around 5pm and drizzle and rain for around two hours. Max temp reached 33C

The forecast for the next ten days is looking fairly good, a couple of sunny day before the wind starts to pick up again and more clouds should come Samui ways with tropical showers after next weekend .

Yesterday saw a fairly hazy day, the sun was out and about but not always in a blue sky. It stayed dry although there were some threatening afternoon clouds at times and max temp reached 33C

The forecast predicts partially cloudy skies until next weekend when it may turn cloudy with plenty of wind again and the rain picking up.


was a hazy layer in the sky but by now that has almost completely evaporated with the sun heating up and the sky over Koh Samui is almost perfect blue. Current temp at 7am is 28C

One more a shot of Meh Guan Ihm at Wat Plai Laem or Wat Suwannaram, in my humble opinion the most beautiful temple on the island and as it happens to be, conveniently located within a few hundred meters of our house.

Yesterday saw a sunny day around Koh Samui except in our part in the early evening we had dark clouds and a few rain drops but other parts of the island may have had some thunderstorms. Max temp reached a hot 35C

The forecast has changed slightly once more, we should have partiallythe weekend. Towards the first September weekend the wind may pick up again.

Outside, in the woods at the Guanyin temple in Phang Ka. Far away from the trodden path on Koh Samui but well worth a visit, in the Southern, less developed part of the island

Yesterday saw a nice and warm and mostly sunny day around Koh Samui with a max temp of 33C

The forecast is still looking good for the next ten days, with some subtle changes.


statue at Wat Bophud

Earlier today I ran a 25km race in Na San in Surat Thani province. Na San is the rambutan capital of the world and has some dramatic scenery with limestone cliffs surrounding the village and a nice small river floating around the village. It was very cool early in the morning, which was perfect for running and I managed to finish the 25km before the sun started to heat up. However, since I'm training for a full marathon, 42.2km next month, I still had to run for a little bit over an hour after I finished the race. That was a different cookie and it was a lot warmer by than.

In total I ran some 35km today, first the 24,74km in the race in 2Samui and their 'Farm on the Hill'.

There's a very thin cloud layer over Koh Samui this morning with the sun struggling to get through but not very successful at the moment. The strong wind has momentarily dropped a bit but should be back later today. It should remain dry today although mostly cloudy. Current temp at 7am is 29C

Yesterday stayed dry but had all kind of weather variations, from sunny to dark cloudy and wind in all kind of strengths. Max temp reached a stunning 34C

Queen Sirikit's 84th Birthday

Today is Queen Sirikit's 84th Birthday (in Thai สิริกิติ์). She is the queen consort of Bhumibol Adulyadej, King (Rama IX) of Thailand. As the consort of the king who is the world's longest-reigning head of state, she is also the world's longest-serving consort of a monarch.

Sirikit suffered a stroke on 21 July 2012 and has since refrained from public appearances.

Queen Sirikit's 84th Birthday; Queen Sirikit in younger years

This day is also Mother's Day in Thailand and replaces the international Mother's Day around the world.

The queen holds ceremonial supreme power, after her husband who ranks as the Head of the Royal Thai Armed Forces, in the Royal Thai Army

It's partially cloudy to mostly cloudy this morning, occasionally a bit of sunshine shines through the clouds but I expect it to be rather cloudy today with a fair


breeze. Current temp at 7am is 28C

Today is also the birthday of Queen Sirikit who was born in 1932 and it also means that today Mothers day is celebrated in Thailand.

This looks like migratory birds over Plai Laem, I could stop the car just in time to take a shot when they were about to disappear. They were big birds, fighting their way against the wind and it was a large flock.

Yesterday saw a dry day but with a very strong wind at times. It was nice and partially sunny in the morning but as the day progressed, it become slowly cloudier. Max temp reached 32C

The forecast changed slightly again and not necessarily for the better, more clouds are expected during the next ten days with less change7am is 28C

Port of Koh Samui in Nathon, also referred to as 'Coco port' on one of the banners at the entrance of the Seatran pier, where I arrived back on the island, around 3.30pm. Just another half hour to go before I got home

Yesterday saw a nice and sunny morning but during the afternoon it was grey and wet and when I arrived back on the island, there was a constant drizzle from the ferry all the way home. Max temp reached 33C

The forecast for the next ten days shows cloudy to fairly cloudy skies with a strong breeze, at times with storm like strength. Surprisingly there's not that much rain predicted.

It's anything but your typical August so far this month. Hang in there!

The remains date back about 3,400 years and include hundreds of artifacts and dozens of tombs that may be the resting places of many ancient Egyptian nobles.

Located more than 500 miles south of Cairo, the quarry site known as Gebel el Silsila was one of the most important sites for ancient Egyptian builders. Spanning both banks of the Nile River, the quarry produced the sandstone used to build many of the greatest examples of ancient Egyptian monuments, including the temples at Karnak and Luxor, Rosella Lorenzi reports for Discovery News.

"Many


necropolis’ remains have been uncovered by modern archaeologists. During the early 1900s, a German Egyptologist named Ludwig Borchardt uncovered the temple, but only recorded its location on a basic map. The Temple of Kheny was quickly forgotten, until Nilsson and her colleagues rediscovered it last year, Erik Shilling reports for Atlas Obscura. But while the researchers uncovered hundreds of artifacts and human remains, the years have taken their toll on the once-grand temple.

“Due to the annual flooding of the Nile, the shrine—which opens to the west—has seen considerable damage to its interior and exterior, and its archaeology cannot be firmly dated, since the Nile would have brought in material each year," Nilsson tells Bohstrom.

At 14.8 weeks' gestation, ultrasonographic examination revealed fetal skeletal hypomineralization, easily compressible fetal cranium, and thickened long bones, indicating that the fetus was also affected. Confirmation of the prenatal diagnosis of OI type III was made following a Caesarean section birth of a male infant with multiple skeletal deformities and blue sclerae implying, in this case, autosomal dominant inheritance.

The result, as we observed earlier, was a mirror image of yesterday's retail selloff, "as now the market no longer has to fear Trump's tweets, but his staggering position reversals, now coming inside the span of a day."

In retrospect the market had nothing to fear, because shortly after its origianl report on BAT, Axios followed up with a second report, according to which the White House denies the original report on Cohn's BAT statement, and says that Trump's position is unchangedPages

The Hobbit - J.R.R. Tolkien

Rating: 4 stars

I started reading this slowly, at the beginning of the year, in the hopes of savoring it until the movie arrived. I have to tell you, it started out all rainbows and nostalgia until someone told me that the movie was going to be split into three parts. I spent the remainder of the book angrily wondering how Peter Jackson planned to successfully pull that off without pissing off fans. It's a small book! Written as a young adult novel! Yes, there are many adventures along the road to the Lonely Mountain, but nothing that packs as much punch as the actual ending of the novel. There aren't any real clear starts and stops that - to my mind


The Call-In: The Opioid Epidemic And How Opioids Have Affected Your Lives

The opioid epidemic is growing. Lulu Garcia-Navarro speaks with Jim Barnum, whose brother died after an opioid addiction and Chuck Rosenberg, acting administrator of the DEA.

LOURDES GARCIA-NAVARRO, HOST:

And this is The Call-In, our segment where you tell us what you're thinking. This week, we're talking about the opioid epidemic. The CDC released new numbers on Friday showing that the rate of fatal drug overdoses in the United States has increased more than two and a half times from 1999 to 2015. And the drugs that are killing people are shifting toward lethal compounds like heroin and fentanyl.

(SOUNDBITE OF CORDUROI'S "MY DEAR")

GARCIA-NAVARRO: It's becoming a sadly common story. People get prescribed painkillers. They become addicted. And then theycalling about my son.

UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #3: It's a real serious problem in young adults. And I'm sad to say that physician prescribing is part of the problem.

UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #4: I have been negatively affected by the increasing opioid regulation. It has made my life much more difficult and much more expensive.

UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #5: For the first time in 15 years, he's clean and sober.

(SOUNDBITE OF CORDUROI'S "MY DEAR")

JIM BARNUM: My name is Jim Barnum (ph). I'm 38 years old. And I'm a paramedic in Colorado. And last year, I lost my brother to opiate addiction.

GARCIA-NAVARRO: Jim Barnum has seen this issue from both sides. As a paramedic in Denver, he's had to administer the drugs. And he also saw his brother struggle with an addiction.

BARNUM: He went to


Rutgers in New Jersey. He played baseball. He was a pretty funny guy.

GARCIA-NAVARRO: How did he first get involved with opioids?

BARNUM: He had a minor back surgery as a result of, I think, being a catcher in baseball. They gave him medications as a result of that. And that was kind of his first taste. And it went from having the pills to, you know, taking them with a few drinks to, maybe, snorting them at parties. And that was the - kind of the beginning of that.

GARCIA-NAVARRO: And then he got into heroin?

BARNUM: Yeah. To have him tell it, it was kind of like a financial decision. Buying legal medications on the street just becomes way too expensive. So he could get a lot more drugs fortrying to nullify all of the pain that any humans feel. And I'm not so sure that's the best course.

(SOUNDBITE OF MOSS AURA'S "JEWEL")

GARCIA-NAVARRO: That was Jim Barnum talking about his brother, who died last year of complications from a heroin addiction. Like many people, his brother's addiction started after he was prescribed painkillers. Eventually, he sought out cheaper, illegal drugs like heroin. I spoke with Chuck Rosenberg, the acting administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration, about how his agency is trying to crack down on this epidemic.

ROSENBERG: First and foremost, we're a law enforcement agency. So we go after the suppliers. And by that, I mean, you know, big international cartels and the dangerous street gangs that distribute throughout the United States. But we're also a regulator,

Less than an hour after former Mexican President Vicente Fox appeared on TV to denounce Donald Trump's visit to Mexico on Wednesday, the Republican nominee sought to remind the world that Fox had also offered him an invitation to travel south of the border earlier this year.

"Former President Vicente Fox, who is railing against my visit to Mexico today, also invited me when he apologized for using the 'f bomb,'" Trump tweeted Wednesday morning ahead of his meeting with President Enrique Peña Nieto, after Fox took to CNN and apologized


on behalf of the country for the invitation.

Fox himself apologized to Trump earlier this year after declaring that his country would not pay for the "f----ing wall" that has been central to the businessman's national security and immigration proposals, inviting him in a Breitbart News interview "to come to Mexico and to see what Mexico is all about.”

Trump reciprocated the remarks by inviting Fox to lunch in New York, which the former president said he would only accept if Trump apologized for his comments about Mexicans in the U.S. and in Mexico.

While Fox suggested that the current Mexican president could be seen as a "traitor" if the visit goes poorly, he also called Trump's decision to visit "very smart."and adding 10 assists—the majority of his play was lacklustre and inconsistent, and although Louis van Gaal has made noises regarding keeping the Argentine at the club, reports suggest a deal has been agreed.

There is no doubting the pedigree that Di Maria possesses—after joining Real Madrid from Benfica in the summer of 2010, the forward racked up 22 goals and 49 assists in four league campaigns, according to WhoScored.com.

Alastair Grant/Associated Press

Those figures mean the now-27-year-old was involved in 57 percent of all Real Madrid’s goals consistently for four seasons. It’s no surprise that he has been a star for Argentina and that Manchester United paid £59.7 million last summer, per Daniel Harris of the Guardian.

PSG coach Laurent Blanc has always reiterated his desire to add a talented left-sided


attacker to his squad, and although Di Maria fits that mould perfectly, the way the Parisians played at the end of last season raises questions as to how and where the Argentine player will fit in the manager’s plans.

At the beginning of last season, Blanc continued to play 4-3-3 as he had for the majority of his reign at the capital club. With players returning late after the World Cup in Brazil, plus an early-season injury to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, players had the chance to make a claim for a starting spot—Edinson Cavani was also allowed to play a number of games as PSG’s central striker.

When Blanc had his full complement of forwards available, Cavani would start on the left, Lucas or Javier Pastore on the right and Ibrahimovicwould play centrally. It was functional at best, with PSG’s star quality overpowering the Ligue 1 defences rather than their dominant displays.

Lionel Cironneau/Associated Press

Over the course of the season, it became very clear the Argentine playmaker, Pastore, was enjoying his best season since arriving in France back in 2011. He was vibrant, he looked hungry, and for the first time in four seasons, he was taking charge of games.

In order to get the best out of his elegant midfielder, Blanc made a slight tactical tweak. Keeping the best defensive elements of 4-3-3, he changed the front line and played 4-3-1-2. Pastore was allowed to play the No. 10 role and Cavani took up a more central position in the attack.

During the first 22 weeks of the Ligue 1


vehicle maker is rebuffing union-organizing efforts and parrying complaints about conditions and pay, even as it struggles to balance rapid growth and thrive as California’s only automaker.

Lambert claims in his suit, filed in Alameda County Superior Court, that the harassment began shortly after he started at Tesla in June 2015.

At first, the suit claims, younger co-workers in their 20s hazed Lambert, 44, putting stickers on his back, hiding his tools, and stealing his phone to take photos and videos without his permission.

After a month or two on the assembly line, employees regularly began calling Lambert racial epithets, the suit says. The minute-long video, taken by a supervisor with Lambert’s phone, shows young employees flashing gang signs while the supervisor rapped how he was going to cut Lambert upin pieces and send body parts to his family, according to the suit. The video narration is laced with the N-word.

The co-workers also belittled him and made lewd remarks about sex, the suit says. One time, an employee stuck a drill gun into Lambert’s buttocks in front of his co-workers.

“Sometimes, I had to laugh to keep from showing my anger,” Lambert said in an interview at his lawyer’s office in Oakland. “It never did stop.”

Lambert told his supervisors about the treatment and tried several times to transfer out of the department, the suit says. Eventually, he was transferred to another section of the production line.

The harassment continued on his new shift, according to his suit. A supervisor reported him for eating a candy bar on the line, even


though just days before employees were sharing a box of doughnuts and eating on the production floor. Lambert was also reprimanded for posting a Facebook photo of him in the factory — a breach of rules that was commonly overlooked by supervisors, his suit says.

Lambert also claims in the suit he suffered a back injury because he was not rotated from his position on the line every two hours, as required by company policy.

But the company said Lambert first complained to human resources about harassment and offensive language in April 2016, after a dispute with a colleague. Lambert, who was friends with the man, believed his co-worker filmed the dispute and was taking the video to human resources.

In response, Lambert went to the department first, apparently to pre-emptthe accusation, the company said. No video of the argument was ever given to Tesla managers.

Tesla human resource employees interviewed the workers involved, who told them Lambert also used racially insensitive language, according to the company. Human resources coached the group of employees on professional behavior. Lambert was then transferred to another work area.

In July, Lambert was reprimanded for posting the factory photos on social media. During the discussion with human resources, the company said, the offending video was shown to management for the first time. The company re-opened its investigation.

“We looked into his claims and found that the co-workers DeWitt complained about described the situation very differently,” the company said. “They claimed once again they had all been friends and socialized outside of work, and that all


MUMBAI: At least two employees at Tata Group firms earn more than their chairman, Cyrus Mistry .In the financial year ended on March 31, 2015, Tata Consultancy Services CEO N Chandrasekaran was paid Rs 21.28 crore, compared with Rs 16.25 crore Mistry earned in commission, salaries and other allowances, according to regulatory filings. The TCS head is probably the highest paid employee of the Tata Group.Rakesh Sarna had joined the conglomerate's hospitality chain, Indian Hotels Company , as managing director and CEO for Rs 18.4 crore in September 2014. Since he joined mid-year, Sarna earned only Rs 6.17 crore in fiscal 2015.Compensation of Tata Sons directors is internal to the company , said a spokesperson in response to an email seeking comment. “The Tata group is considered obe conservative paymasters.They don't have one benchmark and some firms can be aggressive depending upon the industry ,“ said the head of a compensa ion consulting company . He sa d it is very common now for promoters and chairmen to take lesser than their top order.In India, too, it is not unusual or the top employees to earn more than the promoters. According to an ET story done in July 2015, Anand Mahindra no longer gets the highest salary in the Mahindra group. Pawan Goenka, elevated to executive director in September 2013, earned Rs 10.37 crore, or 73% more than Mahindra in FY15, according to company filings.Professional CEO Varun Ber ry's salary ( Rs 4.71 crore) in Britannia edged past promoter Nusli Wadia's compensation ( Rs 3.68


and in the precipitator;" that the notice to cure was appropriate; and that the condition was curable. The court directed plaintiff to cure by the next court date, December 17, 2013. After plaintiff's counsel pointed out to the court that he had not had an opportunity to cross-examine defendant's expert, the court stated that he would be afforded an opportunity to do so "if he so wishes." However, counsel did not raise the issue at either of the next two court dates.
On December 17, 2013, a Tuesday, plaintiff advised the court that it had not yet cured the condition. The court directed that an electrician "fix the problem at [plaintiff's] cost" by the following Thursday, December 19, 2013, to which plaintiff's counsel responded, "Fair enough." The court further2013 (which was after the December 19, 2013 deadline set by Justice Bransten), but that plaintiff "wanted to keep the makeup air fan independent of the exhaust fan," so work was not performed by FCA to interlock the makeup air fan with the other exhaust system components. Defendant's expert also testified that, as of February 19, 2016, the makeup air fan was still not interlocked with the other components, in violation of the Code.
Despite its earlier ruling that Justice Bransten's orders were the law of the case and that the only issue at trial was whether the Code violation had been cured, the trial court issued an order after trial, entered June 1, 2016, that found that defendant had failed to establish any violation of the Code, determined


Justice Bransten, referenced in the February 18, 2014 order, when it held that her orders were the "law of the case," and limited the issue at trial as set forth above.
Plaintiff was afforded a full and fair opportunity to litigate this issue before Justice Bransten, and was offered the opportunity, if it wished, to schedule cross-examination of defendant's expert (People v Evans , 94 NY2d at 502). It did not do so, and essentially conceded the existence of the Code violation when its counsel responded, "Fair enough," to the court's directive on December 17, 2013 that the violation be cured at plaintiff's expense.
Moreover, the evidence presented at the 2016 trial, including unrefuted expert testimony, established that plaintiff's commercial kitchen exhaust system continued to violate MC § 508.1. TheCollette (Aubin) Ploy

How I started...

I've been a weather hobbyist all of my life. As a child, I used to stand outside in the rain during thunderstorms just to watch the lightning. Back in the '70s getting weather information was a chore. I remember listening to NWS broadcasts during hurricane season and plotting these on a piece of paper. After moving to New England I finally bought my first real weather station made by Davis Instruments. I began to record daily weather data in a journal. I had a few people, where I work, who knew I was a weather nut, ask me to send them an e-mail on the weekend forecast. So two grew to five then 15, then 40, and now my Thursday weekend mail list reaches overAmish man runs marathon in traditional outfit of slacks, suspenders

Natalie DiBlasio | USA TODAY

Maybe runners don't need all that flashy gear after all. An Amish man, clad in his community's traditional clothing, finished the Harrisburg Marathon on Nov. 8 in three hours, five minutes and 45 seconds.

Leroy Stolzfus, 22, told Pennlive.com that he's used to running in slacks and suspenders and that he turns to running whenever he's tempted to sin.

Stolzfus runs in the evening after he works at his job at a tobacco shop. Unlike most marathoners, who run around 20 miles at a time in training, Stolzfus says he doesn't even get up to 10 miles sometimes.

"I had no pain whatsoever," Stolzfus told Pennlive.com. "It was more mental anguish than in my legs. You have to

Tragic news is coming out of Iowa - where an innocent American family - including two small children - have been found murdered - leaving law enforcement lost for answers as to what could have happened to this seemingly perfect all-American family.

41-year-old father of two Kevin Wayne Sharp, his wife and mother of two 38-year-old Amy Marie Sharp, and their precious children 12-year-old Sterling Wayne Sharp, and 7-year-old Adrianna Marie Sharp were all found deceased inside of a Mexican condominium in Talum, Mexico.

According to the State Attorney's office in Quintana Roo, a Mexican state on the Yucatan Peninsula, there's no logical explanation as to what could have killed the family, which have investigators scratching their heads.

Over 80 eyewitnesses since 1890 describe them to be made by tubes of light in less than fifteen seconds. The evidence for crop circles as a genuine phenomenon is found in Freddy Silva's book Secrets In The Fields and throughout this site, whose factual research provides an antidote to deliberate falsification of the genuine phenomenon by skeptics, hoaxers and their allies in the media.

Contrary to popular perception, crop circles are not a modern phenomenon. They were witnessed by policemen and farmers as far back as 1890, they exist in the folklore of South Africa and China, and are mentioned in 17th Century academic texts. Around 1980 they re-appeared as simple circles and rings in southern


and healings in crop circles – a situation also common to sacred sites and ancient temples. Biophysical evidence shows the plants' seed embryos are altered, and the liquid in the stems has been heated from the inside. In genuine crop circles there is also a reorganization of the plant's crystalline structure. Other evidence from crop circles shows how the floors of laid plants are swirled in mathematical proportions relative to the Golden Ratio – the vortex used by nature to create organisms. Mathematically, genuine crop circles have yielded five new geometric theorems based on Euclidian geometry. They are also encoded with sacred geometry – those harmonic ratios that govern the relationship between the orbits of planets. Crop circles alter the local electromagnetic field; affecting the proper function ofGov. Larry Hogan (R) and the Democratic leaders of Maryland’s General Assembly signed legislation Tuesday to overhaul sexual harassment policies in the Statehouse — although they did it with less fanfare than some of the women who pushed for reform would have liked. The legislation includes a requirement that an independent investigator handle harassment complaints involving statehouse employees. Neither Hogan, Senate President Mike Miller nor House Speaker Michael E. Busch mentioned the bill in their opening remarks during the signing ceremony, Rachel Chason of the Post reports.

count eight differ from the others and must be considered separately.
 Defendant was a hay dealer with his business address at 5703 Riverside Drive in Los Angeles, California. In December, 1937, and January, 1938, the months involved here, he carried his bank accounts in the First National Bank of Bellflower. He employed Ben J. Broecker to buy hay for him in Imperial County. He also employed several truck drivers to transport the hay from Imperial County to his yard and to other points of delivery in Los Angeles County. Each day defendant would sign a number of blank checks and leave them in his office with C. D. Bowler, his bookkeeper. Before a truck driver started on his trip to Imperial County to pick up his load ofhay, he would call at the office and Bowler would give him one of these blank checks with which to pay for the hay. Occasionally Bowler would date a check but he did not fill in the name of the payee nor the amount of the check. After the hay had been loaded and weighed in Imperial County, the amount of the check and the name of the payee were filled in by either the truck *752 driver or by Broecker. The check was then delivered to the seller of the hay, or to a scales company which delivered it to the seller. Defendant admitted knowing all the details of these transactions. He testified that it was his plan of doing business and had been in operation for


several years.
 Under the foregoing facts there can be no question of the venue of the thirteen offenses lying in Imperial County. The truck drivers and Broecker were agents of defendant with authority to fill in the blanks on the checks and to deliver them. The possession of the checks remained in defendant, through his agents, until they were completed and delivered in Imperial County. While the checks were signed, and some of them dated, in Los Angeles County, they were not completely made or drawn there, but in Imperial County, where they were uttered and delivered. We need not decide the question of the right to prosecute these offenses in Los Angeles County under the provisions of section 781 of the Penal Code. That question is notones. Her thing was co-existence, which meant only sucking ten pounds of fat from willing customers at a time.

It all culminated with a surprisingly tense showdown in a shadowy basement in which the boys tangled with a fat-drunk monster. Obviously that thing was not going to get a drop of fat out of Sam Winchester, but the situation just did NOT look pleasant for anybody.

The man handed the top job at the board of the newly-created Nova Scotia Tourism Agency is moving with his family to Ontario, but he doesn't think that's a problem for the agency.

"As you appreciate in my role as chair, we don't oversee the day to day," said Ben Cowan-Dewar.

"That's the team of employees that run the organization who do all the heavy lifting and do a great job. The board provides oversight and strategic direction. We meet every month or two and I'll continue to attend those meetings and chair them."

Cowan said he'll pay his own travel expenses.

Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil, who first learned of the move from CBC News, defended his choice for chair of the board.

"When he was appointed to the board, he wascapable, qualified people who could head up that agency for our own province."

The governing Liberals created the Nova Scotia Tourism Agency as the arm's-length organization to promote tourism on behalf of the province. It is made up of businessowners from across the province.

Highlights of Epigenetics 2015

What an exciting and inspiring three days! Thank you Hobart for welcoming us and well done to Adele Holloway, Jo Dickinson and all the organising committee for their hard work over the past many months. AEpiA was delighted with the attendance at all the sessions and AEpiA president Sue Clark was thrilled to hear all the lively epigenetics discussion that ensued.

On the Friday evening we were welcomed to Government house by Her Excellency Professor the Honourable Kate Warner, AM, Governor of Tasmania, for a memorable evening of music, canapes and socialising.

AEpiA congratulates Joshua Ho from Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute, who was awarded the Illumina Early Career Research Award for his wonderful work on chromatin organisation.

Alicia Smith was an invited speaker from Emory University, USA. She is an Assistant Professor in the department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science within the School of Medicine. Alicia spoke about her research on the relationship between DNA methylation and preterm birth. Preterm birth was defined as a gestational period less than 37 weeks and is already known to be associated with increased risk for chronic disease.

Her group is interested in the long term affect of preterm birth based on CpG signature and how this is linked with epigenetic aging, also known as the “epigenetic clock”. They performed 450K bead chip arrays on maternal blood and umbilical cord blood at delivery. They found


she has figured out an effective way of delivering these agents to the cell using nanoparticles called ‘dendrons’. So far has had success reactivating OCT4 and suppressing SOX2 in breast cancer cell lines and mouse models.

The final morning of the conference featured a raft of highly impressive speakers giving impassioned talks on the epigenetic mechanisms that they believe are critical to physiology.

Reprogramming the epigenome in aging and cancer

Professor Jean-Pierre Issa (Temple University School of Medicine, Philadelphia) gave an inspiring talk on the process of epigenetic drift (ED), where the methylation profile of an individual changes over time, and in particular affects the stability of the gene expression profile of the tissue in question.

A strong believer in methylation state as the key driver of cell stability, he illustrated howSydney, Professor John Raskoand his research team at the adjoining Centenary Institute have worked tirelessly over the last few years characterising intron retention (IR) as a distinct and vital epigenetic mechanism. They were rewarded in 2013 with apublication in Cell describing granulopoiesis as being regulated by IR through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD).

Importantly, epigenetic marks such as methylation at exon-intron boundaries and H3.3 lysine6 trimethylation control the rate of IR in a number of cell lines. For example, a methylated splice site may recruit Mecp2 binding to DNA, slowing the rate of RNA polymerase II elongation and increasing the chance of a splice event. The obverse of this process is that RNA pol II skips this site and retains the intron. The resulting transcripts contain a premature termination codon and


Plasma metabolites of dietary flavonoids after combination meal consumption with onion and tofu in humans.
The effect of food combination on metabolic profile in postprandial plasma has hardly been reported. We investigated the absorption and metabolism of quercetin and soy isoflavones in humans after combination meal consumption. Five healthy volunteers ingested sautéed onion and tofu, and the plasma metabolites of quercetin and isoflavones were analyzed. Quercetin and genistein were incubated with human intestinal Caco-2 cells and human hepatoma HepG2 cells to further analyze the influence of simultaneous supply to the small intestine and the liver. Glucuronosyl conjugates of quercetin and methylated quercetin were the major plasma metabolites in the case of onion intake. Plasma metabolites with the single serving of tofu were both glucuronide and sulfate metabolites of isoflavones.The present invention relates to aerosol personal cleansing compositions which provide improved moisturization of the skin. The aerosol personal cleansing compositions of the present invention contain a lipophilic skin moisturizing agent, a surfactant, a stabilizer, water, and a hydrocarbon propellant with a low vapor pressure.

Bishop James D. Conley of Denver said the news of rising seminarian numbers across the United States has delighted Pope Benedict XVI.

“He was very happy to receive that information,” Bishop Conley told CNA on May 4 after meeting the Pope at the Vatican.

“He said he had heard that vocations were going up in the United States and he said this is very positive news and, in fact, he had a big smile on his face when he heard the news.”

Bishop Conley was one of ten bishops from Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and Wyoming who had an audience with Pope Benedict as part of their five-day “ad limina” pilgrimage to Rome which concludes tomorrow.

He explained to the Pope that


American College is full to its 250 capacity for the first time in decades.

Upon hearing that Bishop Conley was from Denver, Pope Benedict warmly recalled World Youth Day 1993 which was hosted by the Colorado city. At present the Archdiocese of Denver is vacant following the departure of Archbishop Charles J. Chaput to Philadelphia in September 2011.

Bishop Conley said he does not know when a successor will be appointed but he is certain that they will “carry on the great work of Archbishop Chaput in his 14 years and Cardinal Stafford before him,” describing their legacy as “a great flourishing of the faith” where “a lot of new movements, a lot of new evangelization” took place.

He believed that elsewhere could learn from “the Denver experience” as the universalChurch approaches the “Year of Faith” later this year.

In particularl, he thought people should take note of Archbishop Chaput’s ability to “teach the truth in all its clarity, even when challenging people against what the trends are in society, but yet doing it with love and compassion.”

This approach, said Bishop Conley, is particularly successful with young people who have a “genuine openness to truth.”

Aiming for a record-breaking year, the Chinese have successfully launched the Yaogan Weixing-31-01 mission – consisting of three satellites – from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center at 04:25 UTC on Tuesday morning. The surprise launch also carried another small – if unnamed – satellite. The launch took place from Launch Pad 94 of the LC43 launch complex using the Long March 4C (Y25) rocket.

The Yaogan Weixing-31-01 mission is composed of three satellites, with Chinese media referring to the new satellites to be used “for electromagnetic environment surveys and other related technology tests.”

The designation of the Yaogan Weixing series is used to hide the true military nature of the satellites.

In particular, this mission is similar to the Yaogan-9, 16, 17, 20 and 31 with three satellites flying in formationlike a type of NOSS system, considered as the Jianbing-8 military series.

Designed for locating and tracking foreign warships the satellites will collect the optical and radio electronic signatures of the maritime vessels that will be used in conjunction with other information valuable for the Chinese maritime forces.

Yaogan-9 was launched on March 5, 2010, while Yaogan-16 was launched on November 25, 2012; Yaogan-17 was launched on September 1st, 2013, Yaogan-20 launched on August 9, 2014, and Yaogan-25 was launched on December 10, 2014.

Together with the three Yaogan-30-01 satellites was launched a micro/nano technology test satellite. No specific designation was given to the small satellite.

This launch was the 271st launch of the Long March launch vehicle family and the 11th orbital this year.

With its main commonality matched to the Long


14,560 kg, it is equipped with a YF-40 engine capable of a vacuum thrust of 100.8 kN and a specific impulse in vacuum of 2,971 Ns/kg.

The Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, in Ejin-Banner – a county in Alashan League of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region – was the first Chinese satellite launch center and is also known as the Shuang Cheng Tze launch center.

The site includes a Technical Centre, two Launch Complexes, Mission Command and Control Centre, Launch Control Centre, propellant fuelling systems, tracking and communication systems, gas supply systems, weather forecast systems, and logistic support systems.

Jiuquan was originally used to launch scientific and recoverable satellites into medium or low earth orbits at high inclinations. It is also the place from where all the Chinese manned missions are launched.

TheLC-43 launch complex, also known as South Launch Site (SLS) is equipped with two launch pads: 91 and 94. Launch pad 91 is used for the manned program for the launch of the Long March-2F launch vehicle (Shenzhou and Tiangong).

Launch pad 94 is used for unmanned orbital launches by the Long March-2C, Long March-2D and Long March-4C launch vehicles.

Other launch zones at the launch site are used for launching the Kuaizhou, Kaituo and the Long March-11 solid propellant launch vehicles.

The first orbital launch took place on April 24, 1970 when the Long March-1 rocket launched the first Chinese satellite, the Dongfanghong-1 (04382 1970-034A).


told him I'm nervous to be
spending time with my recently
un-incarcerated brother,
with instructions...
- to notify the authorities immediately
- Wow.
If I do not answer the phone.
- In the room.
- Nothing personal.
So, in 1755, Philip Lasser was
found in their grand fireplace.
Burned beyond recognition.
While his estate was dismantled
and scattered throughout
southern England,
one of the family's stewards claimed
to see Philip reflected in the mirror.
An allegation apparently taken
seriously enough to warrant
a Church investigation
into the house.
The glass, thereafter known
as the Lasser Glass,
is sold in public auction in 1758.
The next known owner is an
American rail road tycoon,
named Robert Clancy, 1864.
Clancy apparently weighed
over 300 pounds.
In fact, while attending
university in Connecticut,
he was known as the
South Windham Whale.
He hung the glass in his
ballroom in Atlanta.
Later that year, Robert
Clancy is photographed
by a local newspaper and, uh...
Well, he's dropped a few pounds.
Hisobit was printed a few weeks later.
Doesn't list a cause of death.
Unfortunately, he and his
estate and the glass
are presumably destroyed in Sherman's
march to the ocean in 1865.
And after that, the glass is lost.
Until it resurfaces in
turn-of-the-century New England.
The next case of note
is Mary O'Connor, 1904.
She hung the mirror in
her private bathroom.
Two weeks later, her niece Beatrice
finds Mary dead in the bathtub.
Now, the official coroner's report lists
the cause of death as, get this...
dehydration.
The woman died of thirst while soaking
in a full tub for three days.
The next case of note is Alice Carden
in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, 1943.
Neighbors reported hearing screams
and loud bangs from the house.
The police found the children
drowned in a locked cistern.
Alice herself was in the nursery,
and both of her legs are
completely shattered.
Her left arm is broken in four


places,
and six of her ribs are crushed.
In her right hand is a large hammer she's
been using to break her own bones.
They find her just as she's
going to work on her skull.
Her right arm, though,
is completely unharmed.
Because she needed it.
To wield the hammer.
Alice later says she believed she was
tucking the children into their beds
as she sealed them
into the cistern.
She never recovers
from her injuries.
And, oh, the family kept
several dogs at the farm,
including an Australian
shepherd for the children.
Let's eat.
Who exactly are you talking to?
On those tapes?
All the people who stared, pointed.
The kids at school who
always found out.
I guess I'm talking to everyone
who ever called Dad a murderer.
Called you a murderer.
Look, Kaylie, we were just kids.
We made up a scary story so we
wouldn't have to accept the fact
that our father was
a murderer.He was.
He was a sick man who
tortured and killed our...
You can call me crazy all you like.
But you're not allowed to
talk about him that way.

between causation and correlation.
I know the difference, thank you.
OK then. In 2001, Mom and
Dad bought that new couch.
Same year, Grandpa had a

Doesn't explain the woman
I saw through the window.
But when did you see her?
The first time? We were
playing in the yard.
Was Mom at home?
Mom was always home.
Are you sure about that?
Because I'm not.
- Oh, shit.
- Shit.
Get back. Get back.
He was having an affair,
saint that he was.
It was a bad marriage.
Look how it ended up.
- No.
- Our father was a cheater,
- and it drove our mother crazy.
- Stop it.
He snapped and he killed her.
He was gonna do the same to us.
Oh, yeah. A bad marriage.
That explains how Mom had no

WhileWhile the previous Denisovan fragments come only from the eponymous Denisova Cave in Siberia, people living all across Asia and Australasia today carry Denisovan DNA in their genomes. The discovery of the Xiahe jawbone at a locale over 1,400 miles away from this Siberian cave confirms Denisovans ventured much further across the continent.

It’s thought that after the Denisovans’ ancestors split from their Neanderthal relatives at least 400,000 years ago, they headed east into Asia, while early Neanderthals spread through Europe and western Asia. Modern humans first left Africa some 200,000 years ago, first as a trickle and then in waves. Eventually they encountered and interbred with Neanderthals in the Middle East. Those who trekked east into Asia likewise mated with the resident Denisovans, who left genetic fingerprints still


her newly minted Ph.D. in hand, turned to the strange hominin remains on the urging of her graduate advisor Fahu Chen, who led the recent study, and colleague Guangrong Dong also of Lanzhou University.

First up was figuring out where the mandible had actually been found. The anonymous monk who happened upon the odd bone passed it along to the sixth Gung-Thang Living Buddha, an eminent figure thought to be reincarnated from past individuals who held the title. But the monk neglected to mention the name of the cave where he’d come across the fossil.

The team whittled the possibilities down to just one: Xiahe county’s Baishiya Karst cave, whose name translates to “white cliff” in Chinese. Excavations in the cave subsequently revealed large animal bones with cut marks anddifficult to pinpoint precisely how similar the owner of the jaw is to these three Denisovan lines—or if it was from yet another sister group.

“This mandible, one way or another, will fit into this story,” Welker says.

The tantalizing connection the jaw makes between what was once thought of as a low altitude group of humans and their mysterious role in modern high-altitude adaptations also remains fuzzy, explains Emilia Huerta-Sanchez, a population geneticist at Brown University and lead author of the 2014 Nature study that first identified this genetic link.

At the Tory conference in Birmingham this week there is a large crowd of young people the likes of whom are rarely spotted. In a central hotel one suited bunch could be seen studiously avoiding eye contact with a group of rowdy cheerleaders of around the same age. Another could be seen striding sober and immaculate through the city centre at 1am, singing ABBA songs together.

These are the young Tories, a group that has become increasingly important to the party. Rattled by Labour’s large and vibrant youth wing, conservatives have made great efforts to attract young people, hoping for a Momentum-like movement to inject energy into the party and inspire young voters. And in a newspaper interview on Sunday Theresa May suggested this had worked. “Conference will lookThe Bay of Plenty kiwifruit industry was short 1200 workers in May in its orchards and packhouses.

The horticulture industry needs to identify and clean-up its bad employers if it is to attract workers, Horticulture New Zealand chief executive Mike Chapman says.

"We have got to protect our reputation," Chapman told HortNZ's annual conference in Christchurch.

Industry figures show horticulture had a labour shortfall of 6000 in 2016. "The next report, I can confidently say will show an even greater gap," he said.

In May, a seasonal labour shortage for the Bay of Plenty kiwifruit industry was declared by the Ministry of Social Development, following an urgent need to fill 1200 vacancies for its harvest and packing.

Grant made a big splash in Corpus Christi

CORPUS CHRISTI - Ulysses S. Grant, a second lieutenant in the 4th Regiment of Infantry, thought he knew how the pulleys worked on the transport ship "Alabama."

As soldiers were being transferred to smaller ships — lighters — to cross Corpus Christi Bay, Grant jumped up on the rail, grabbed a rope, and fell head over heels in the bay. Soldiers were laughing as he was pulled back on deck, like a wet parcel. Grant was laughing himself.

Grant, 23 years old, was among the soldiers who landed at Corpus Christi in the summer of 1845. Zachary Taylor's command, concentrated in Louisiana, had been ordered to move to the disputed territory of South Texas as Texas prepared to join the United


States.

Taylor chose Corpus Christi as the staging ground for his army. It really wasn't a town. More like a trading post with a couple of hundred people. It would soon be an immense armed camp with half of the Army, 4,000 soldiers, in training for the coming conflict. Corpus Christi, Grant thought, was "a small Mexican hamlet."

Or not. That was one of the questions a war would decide.

Corpus Christi also was the cheap horse capital of the world, where mustangs could be had for a dollar or two. Grant, a fine rider who loved horses, bought four mustang ponies. The man Grant hired to cook his meals and clean his tent, a free black named Valere, was taking the horses to water and they got away.

"I heard thatGrant lost five or six dollars worth of horses the other day," Taylor's adjutant joked. A slander, said Grant. They were worth $20.

Grant escorted a paymaster's wagon train to San Antonio. Wild game abounded along the way but they saw no people until they reached San Antonio. On the way back one night they heard wolves howling. Grant thought there were 20 or more in the pack. When they got close enough to see them, there were only two. Years later, when he was president, Grant remembered that when he heard the howling of members of Congress. "There are always more of them before they are counted."

That December, officers decided to stage "Othello." They looked for someone to play the beautiful Desdemona. Grant was urged to try out


for the part. He had a trim figure and almost girlish good looks; his friends called him "Beauty." Though the costume fit perfectly, the officer playing the Moor couldn't look at Grant without laughing. They sent to New Orleans for a professional actress to play Desdemona. After that, Grant grew a beard to hide his girlish good looks. He was "Beauty" no more.

In March 1846, Washington ordered Taylor to move to the border. The army left Corpus Christi on March 6-8. The march south covered 174 miles over hog wallow prairies and sands glistening with salt. Grant rode out to see herds of mustangs that gave the region its name: the Wild Horse Desert. They covered the horizon. Too many, Grant thought, to be corralled in the stateof Rhode Island. It was rough traveling through the Big Sands, with ponds of drinkable water far apart. Soldiers struggled along with parched mouths and cracked lips under a tormenting sun. Grant admired the endurance of the enlisted men. After a three-week trip, the army reached the Rio Grande.

Grant was in the first battles of the Mexican War, at Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma. Grant led one charge and captured a Mexican colonel who, it turned out, had already been captured. "My exploit was equal to that of the soldier who boasted that he had cut off the leg of one of the enemy," Grant explained. "When asked why he did not cut off his head, he replied, 'Someone had already done that.'"

The battles would have


been won, Grant realized, if he had not been there. And he wished he had not been there, for he considered it a most unjust war.

"I know the struggle I had with my conscience during the Mexican War," he wrote in his memoirs. "I have never forgiven myself for going into that. I had very strong opinions on the subject. I don't think there was ever a more wicked war than that waged by the United States on Mexico. I thought so at the time, when I was a youngster, only I had not the moral courage enough to resign."

Besides Grant, there were several future Civil War generals, Union and Confederate, with Zachary Taylor at Corpus Christi. The more famous were James Longstreet, George Meade, Braxton Bragg, Johncomponents to cool them.
Some of the cooling air is delivered from a central location in the rotor disk radially outwardly to the interior of a disk slot in the rotor disk. The disk slot receives a root section from the turbine blade. The air then communicates into cooling air passages in the turbine blade.
To seal the cooling passages, cover plates are typically attached to the rotor disk. Cover plates that form a small gap by following the contour of the disk create a boundary layer effect that pumps cooling air from a central location to the radially outward location when the cover plate and rotor rotate. The cover plates have been formed with internal fins which increases the pumping effectiveness. However, these fins have been somewhat ineffective at

"It’s a much more scientifically aggressive mission than the first Hayabusa. They are applying all the lessons learned from that mission to Hayabusa 2," said Paul Abell, lead scientist for planetary small bodies in the Astromaterials Research & Exploration Science Directorate at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. He was a joint science team member on the Hayabusa mission.

The payoff from this type of asteroid research is valuable "in terms of how to deal with something that may have our name on it in the future," Abell said.

HIS OWN BEHALF.And he needs to become a danger to himself on GOD’s behalf.)

It was the corrupt scheming and conspiring of evil Satan-inspired men to terminate the life of Jesus with crucifixion and it was they who were responsible for His death. And likewise these evil men sought to kill His disciples to stop them from teaching the truth, the laws God gave unto Moses, and of requiring repentance and a new birth in the spirit by Baptism that they might go forth likewise with love and charity with a message of hope of life eternal for mankind. These Christian teachings have proven to produce wonderful communities, not perfect, but still a civilized, just and peaceful society full of mostly happy people. Such communities are a beginning ofthe followers of Jesus were killed by evil and conspiring men who were against their teaching of love, charity and forgiveness which was against their form of corrupt rule and also was alien to the various false gods of the Romans, Greeks and money changers. Jesus did not self-immolate to make some kind of point. While it is likely that Jesus could have avoided arrest by the corrupt authorities, He had to fulfill the prophecies and was thus arrested, falsely accused and slain by evil men so, among other things, He could show the world that death was not final nor an end of existence.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Texas has created a lot of jobs over the 10 years that Rick Perry's been governor -- there's no doubt about it.

Perry, who formally launched his presidential candidacy on Saturday, is making his state's economic prowess a centerpiece of his campaign. Already he's been bragging about his state being the "epicenter of job growth."

Texas has gained more than 1 million net new jobs in the decade Perry has led the state. And it's been going strong since the recession ended.

"We are home to fewer than one in 10 Americans ... but four in 10 new American jobs are in our state," he told a conference of state legislators from around the nation this week.

But that doesn't mean that all is well with employment inin the past year, according to the center. Employment in professional services is up 4.5% and in the hospitality business by 3%. Only the government and information technology sectors have seen drops, of 1.4% and 5%, respectively.

"Texas has fared better than most of the nation," said Terry Clower, who directs the Center for Economic Development and Research at the University of North Texas. "Private sector job creation has been pretty strong compared to most other states."

The secret, according to Perry, is low taxes, predictable regulation, a fair legal system, and a skilled workforce. And he's been sharing it with companies around the country, hoping to lure them to his state. Some are heeding his siren call, lured by the state's low cost of doing business, as well as


An adorable clip of 4-year-old Jesse Koczon crying because he was "too small" to be governor of New Jersey became a viral hit on YouTube and snagged his family a $10,000 prize from America's Funniest Home Videos. The video also drew a humorous response from Gov. Chris Christie (or his staff), who tweeted: "Don't worry Jesse, people gave plenty of reasons why I couldn't be Governor, though being too small wasn't one of them."

Now the boy will get a chance to be governor, after all -- even if just for one day. Christie is set to sign a proclamation Wednesday naming Jesse, now 5, honorary governor. He'll give Jesse, his twin brother Brandon and their family a tour of the governor's office.

Dawn Koczon, the twins' mother, said theboys went crazy on Tuesday when they heard they were going to meet the governor. "They both just started jumping up and down, and they were screaming," she said. Brandon declared himself and his brother "the luckiest kids ever," Koczon said.

The video was shot on Election Day 2009 after the Koczons took their twins to their polling place. The children wanted to vote too, but a poll worker told them they were not big enough. Jesse began to cry, and the tears continued well into the car ride home. Koczon flipped the camera on, asked her son why he was crying, and he replied: "Everyone tells me that I'm too small to be the governor of New Jersey."

The boys, who live in Old Bridge, wrote the governor thank-you

Section 6.

     The dispute boils down to a simple question: does the phrase

“of personnel employed by the Agency” modify each item in the

list of information that Section 6 exempts from disclosure or

only the final item? The plaintiff argues that it modifies each

item, meaning that Section 6 exempts from disclosure “the

organization of personnel employed by the CIA; the functions of

personnel employed by the CIA; the names of personnel employed

by the CIA; the official titles of personnel employed by the

CIA; the salaries of personnel employed by the CIA; and the

numbers of personnel employed by the CIA.” Opp. at 14–15

only the final item in the list.Therme Bad Wörishofen

Therme Bad Wörishofen is a spa complex in Bad Wörishofen, Germany (near Munich). It is called Therme despite not having a Roman Bath. The complex is divided into two parts: the Thermenparadies (in English the "Thermae Paradise") and the SaunaOase (in English the "Sauna Oasis"). The Thermenparadies houses the main swimming pools, including jacuzzis and showers. In the SaunaOase there are saunas, showers, swimming pools and a solarium.

It is affiliated with the more famous Therme Erding in the nearby town of Erding, east of Munich Airport.

but the process is open.

Journal Square started its growth as a transportation center in 1912 and grew to be Jersey City's business, entertainment and governmental center in the 1920s and maintained its position of power and glory into the 1960s. Since then it has declined, and today the surrounding area consists of commuter parking lots and 99-cent, discount liquor, fast food and phone stores. Every mayor over the past 40 years has tried to rejuvenate the Square, without success.

Over the last decade, I have participated in many planning and public community meetings where the goal was to redevelop the area. The process has been long, but what has finally emerged, in my opinion, is not only good for Journal Square but for Jersey City.

BUILDERS FOLLOW MASS TRANSIT

The marketThis appeal to emotion deliberately ignores a crucial fact: large numbers of people from many other cultures, nations, and regions either reject outright, oppose, or are indifferent to individual rights; specifically, the unalienable rights of individuals, set forth in the Declaration of Independence, upon which the United States was founded and built.

Progressives and liberals, in their pursuit of "diversity," smugly assert that no matter what differences exist among people from various cultures, nations, and regions of the world, the similarities are more important. In the end, people care about the same basic thing: making a better life for themselves, their children, and their families.

From the very beginning of U.S. history, the acceptance of these individual rights has been the core element of American culture. But in 1965, the


are finished off by outsiders who "submerge" (i.e., inundate) them.

For the last half-century, Progressives and liberals have been pushing the United States down this same road to ruin.

Nevertheless, some people claim that none of these lessons from history apply to America. Basically, they refer to the United States as a nation of immigrants, and they argue that concerns expressed in prior centuries about immigration turned out to be unfounded.

However, the distinguished scholar Thomas Sowell, countering this argument, has shown that circumstances today are not the same as circumstances during earlier periods of immigration from Europe. For example, in the past, immigrants not only came to America to become Americans, but American society itself expected immigrants to assimilate; specifically, to learn and to adopt the elements of American culture,including the principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. But during recent decades, in the name of diversity, Progressives, liberals, and many advocacy organizations (including Hispanic advocacy organizations such as La Raza, and Muslim advocacy organizations such as CAIR) have been encouraging immigrants to keep their native cultures. In the words of Sowell, there are many people today, including politicians, who are working actively "to keep foreigners foreign and to make other Americans accept and adjust to that."

Notably, Progressives and liberals use many of the same arguments, and rely on the many of the same appeals to emotion, for refugees that are used, and relied on, for immigrants.

In short, Progressives and liberals aggressively insist that diversity is a good thing, while denouncing as hateful


anyone who favors taking a stronger position on immigration or refugees. Moreover, even Republican politicians, when framing their own arguments, often weaken their own case by timidly refusing to counter the Progressive-liberal dogma on diversity.

Ultimately, the issue, when framed correctly, is one primarily of rights. Governments do not exist to pursue ideological concepts or utopian fantasies such as diversity; governments exist to secure the rights of the people. Indeed, the United States was created on this principle, which is enshrined in the Declaration of Independence.

The federal government's policies on immigration and refugees, though, not only undermine the securing of the unalienable rights of the nation's citizens, but also pose a serious threat to the nation's future.

An insight on some ofThe US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the first human tests of an experimental Zika virus vaccine, the makers of the drug announced on Monday.

Called GLS–5700, the medication will be used in a clinical trial involving 40 healthy people, and represents the first major step towards ultimately immunising people against Zika – which was declared a global public health emergency by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in February.

"We are proud to have attained the approval to initiate the first Zika vaccine study in human volunteers," said J. Joseph Kim, president and CEO of US-based Inovio Pharmaceuticals, which is developing the vaccine with South Korean partner, GeneOne Life Science. "We plan to dose our first subjects in the next weeks and expect to report phase 1 interim


that just because GLS–5700 has reached human testing, there's no guarantee it will turn out to safely immunise people against Zika. The vaccine has been tested successfully in small and large animal models, but clinical trials in humans could take several years to demonstrate that the treatment is safe, and there's no guarantee it will ultimately prove effective or make it through subsequent testing phases.

But fortunately, GLS–5700 isn't the only Zika vaccine candidate currently in development. An Indian company called Bharat Biotech is researching Zika vaccine development in animals, while French pharmaceutical company Sanofi SA is expected to begin human trials with one of its drugs later this year.

trial, the clerk conceded that during the photo lineup, he had been unsure
whether he had identified the right person, but in the courtroom he was
“absolutely positive” that defendant Rabe was one of the men who had robbed
