Alpha hemolytic Streptococcus viridans (AHSV) was found to be the predominant pathogen in neonatal septicemia from 1979 to 1981 at a 1,000-bed voluntary hospital with 5,000 deliveries per year. All but three of the 30 neonates with blood cultures positive for AHSV presented within the first week of life. Most were born at term and had good Apgar scores. The majority of the infants were symptomatic, with respiratory distress being the most common presenting sign.

In the remainder there was good correlation between institution of antibiotic treatment and clinical improvement. Alpha hemolytic Streptococcus viridans should no longer be considered


Storytelling is one of the oldest living traditions, continuing today as theatre, literature, television and film. Roleplaying games evolved their own version of storytelling by piecing together a tale based on the outcome of dice rolls and player choices.

On a shady lane in New Hope, Pa., a quiet revolution in American culture may be taking shape. Here, a family of four lives in a white, colonial-style house in a manner that once would have been considered All-American but more recently has been seen as just plain weird: They're frugal.

Meet Leah Ingram, Bill Behre, and daughters Jane, 13, and Annie, 11. They walk most everywhere, they rarely eat out, they sometimes buy clothing at consignment shops, and they turn the lights off when they leave a room.

Theirs is no hard-luck-in-a-recession story. The Ingram-Behre family is solidly middle-class, fully employed, and not especially threatened by the conniptions gripping Wall Street. Behre, 43, is a dean at


the College of New Jersey, while Ingram, 42, is a successful freelance writer and etiquette expert. They have no credit card debt.

That's now. A little more than a year ago, the family was ensnared in America's consume-at-all-costs culture. During the days of soaring home prices and easy credit, they took out a $101,000 home-equity loan on a previous house and spent lavishly on a lifestyle upgrade—going on three cruises in two years and taking the kids on annual pilgrimages to Disney World. "After 9/11 it became patriotic to shop, and we became as patriotic as anybody," laments Behre, sitting in the dining room after a meal of chicken stir-fry—washed down with tap water.

Ingram and Behre are harbingers of a dawning Age of Frugality. People who overconsumed during thea free replacement in March. "This is the ultimate in frugal," he says.

It was Ingram who got things started. She was raised by a thrifty mother, but by the time she married Behre, mom's influence had worn off and she'd amassed $30,000 in credit-card debt. Controlling spending was hit or miss until the early 2000s, when the family embarked on a shopping spree.

Things nearly spun out of control after they upgraded to a better house. Despite raiding their retirement funds to help with the down payment, they ended up with higher monthly payments. Ingram remembers the day, May 24, 2007, they sold their previous home, and realized her family would take away only $60,000 even though the place had nearly doubled in value, to $490,000.

Danica Patrick will make her Sprint Cup debut this Sunday at Daytona. Patrick will be driving for Tommy Baldwin Racing, which has a guaranteed spot in the Daytona 500 through owner’s points.

By any measures, Patrick is the most successful female driver in history.

She is the only woman to win a race, the 2008 Indy Japan 300, in a top-tier American racing circuit.

She is the only woman to have led a lap of the Indy 500, and she twice finished in the top 5 in Indianapolis.

Last March, Patrick placed fourth in the Sam’s Town 300 Nationwide Race in Las Vegas, the best ever finish for a woman in one of NASCAR’s top series.

After seven seasons


in the Indy Racing League (IRL), Patrick is moving to NASCAR full-time. She’ll race a full schedule in the Nationwide Cup Series and a limited schedule in the Sprint Cup Series. She will be the first woman to race in NASCAR’s top circuit since Shawna Robinson drove in seven Winston Cup Races in 2002.

Over the past several decades women drivers have demonstrated over and over again that auto racing is truly a coed sport.

Recent History of Women in Auto Racing

Janet Guthrie

In 1977 Janet Guthrie became the first woman to qualify for the Daytona 500 and the first woman to qualify for the Indianapolis 500.

She was the Top Rookie at Daytona, and she finished ninth in Indianapolis in 1978. Guthrie drove in 33 Winston Cup races, finishing as highas sixth, and 11 IndyCar/USAC/CART races, finishing as high as fifth.

Lyn St. James, at the age of 45, was the Rookie of the Year at the 1992 Indianapolis 500. At the Brickyard in 2000 St. James raced alongside Sarah Fisher. It was the first time two women had qualified for the Indy 500.

Fisher finished second in the 2001 IRL race at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The following year she became the first woman to qualify in the pole position for a major American open-wheel race. Fisher, whose nine starts at Indianapolis are the most for any woman, also has the distinction of being the youngest car owner in IndyCar racing.

In 2010 and 2011 a record four women qualified for the Indianapolis 500. (Keep an eye on Simona de Silvestro. She


could be a star.)

But the history of women in racing goes back much further than Sarah Fisher and Lyn St. James and Janet Guthrie to the very beginnings of NASCAR.

The First Women of NASCAR

Stock car racing was a product of prohibition.

Moonshine runners in the 1920s modified their cars so that they would be fast enough to escape the authorities. By the time prohibition ended in 1933, the bootleggers had taken to racing one another and organizing events. In 1948 Bill France, Sr. founded NASCAR to govern and regulate stock car racing in the United States.

Ethel Flock Mobley and Sara Christian

Like many early NASCAR drivers, Ethel Flock Mobley and Sara Christian were born into families of bootleggers.

Mobley was the youngest of four children, all of whom are regarded asNASCAR pioneers. (Her brother Tim Flock won 40 races and two cups; Fonty Flock won 19 races; Bob Flock won 4 races and was a successful race promoter.) Mobley drove in more than one hundred races during stock-car racing’s prehistory.

Ethel Flock Mobley with her daughter.

Sara Christian had the fortune of being married to car owner Frank Christian, and she drove one of her husband’s cars in NASCAR’s inaugural race on June 19, 1949 at Charlotte Speedway. During her career Christian drove in seven Cup Series races, twice finishing in the top ten. Her fifth-place finish in Pittsburgh in 1949 was the best finish for a woman in a major NASCAR race before Patrick finished fourth last year in Las Vegas.

While Guthrie was the first woman to compete in


the Daytona 500, the field at the first NASCAR Cup Series race in Daytona featured three women: Mobley, Christian, and Louise Smith.

All four Flock siblings were in the race, as was Sara’s husband Frank Christian. That race on the beach was the only NASCAR event to feature four siblings and the only event to feature a husband and wife. Mobley finished eleventh in that race, ahead of her brothers Bob and Fonty and several stock car legends.

Sara Christian, the only woman to place in the top 5 in a top-tier NASCAR race.

Smith had a reputation for racing anything with wheels and driving even after she’d seen the checkered flag. A promoter booked her for a race as the Greenville-Pickens Speedway in South Carolina because he heard that she’dwithin Home Depot Dining Lights image gallery.

The second non-gp fight of SENGOKU VII along with the final participant of the Featherweight GP were announced today. The rumored fight between James Thompson and Big Jim York will take place and Kim Jong Man will take the final spot of the Featherweight GP.

Kim Jong Man has a few very good results in his record and should have gotten the nod in his last fight against DJ.taiki. However, he has been inconsistent thus far in his career.

SENGOKU Featherweight GP participant Tetsuya Yamada graduated from high school today in Yokosuka in the Kanagawa Prefecture. From now on he will work some nursing welfare job and aim at becoming an MMA champion.

L.C. Davis has revealed to MMAWeekly.com that he will face Michihiro Omigawa at the first round of SENGOKU’sthe Pancrase ring on April 5th with his new ring name, The True Knight (not sure how to translate, could maybe be translated as the knight of truth also). He will face veteran Koji Oishi in probably his toughest fight to date.

King Mo talks another Pancrase fighter, namely Light Heavyweight King Of Pancrase Ryo Kawamura, in a new interview with PunchDrunkGamer.

In other SENGOKU news, Jorge Santiago reveals to Tatame that he might return to SENGOKU in May. Hopefully he will defend his title if he participates.

SENGOKU veteran Nick Thompson defeated Paul Daley on the 20th at MFC 20. This is a big win for him and he would surely be one of the favorites in a possible SENGOKU Welterweight GP. You can watch the fight here.


to work with this play—believed to be the last one written by William Shakespeare—after seeing a recent film version of the story with a female lead. In the original play, the lead character is Prospero, Duke of Milan, but for this performance, Barbara Schapiro of Sharon will be Prospera, now a duchess.

Schapiro said this change will present a softer side to the main character, who has been overthrown and now resides on an island, where she has become a powerful sorcerer. The story follows Prospera’s plot to restore her daughter Miranda to her rightful place with the use of illusion and manipulation.

This is Schapiro’s first lead role, though the works of Shakespeare are very familiar to her. This time, she’s put her skills to the test, memorizing morethe desired ends above referred to involves the use of robotic lift trucks capable of moving cargo without human intervention. One useful technique involves a guidance system which operates with a combination of dead reckoning and laser guidance. This system does away with dependence on a fixed path (such as a buried wire) for robotic lift trucks. On-board computers are provided on the trucks. The trucks include sensors which work by triangulation from identifiable landmarks which are fixed in known positions within the area of operation. The landmarks are created by installing bar coded targets at convenient intervals throughout the operating area. Positions of these targets are accurately surveyed and the coordinates recorded in the system software. From information on the angle of the targets scanned, the on-board

Off to college

O'Neil, a junior at the time of her injury, would never play another soccer match for Sequim.

She had actually been cleared to play by a doctor in Sequim a few days after the injury, but opted for another opinion from Dr. Stanley Herring, Director of Spine Care at the University of Washington.

She still displayed symptoms that pointed to lingering effects of aconcussion and didn't pass neuropsychological tests measuring her memory.

Thus, Dr. Herring recommended she not play.

"I think there are some misunderstandings about what constitutes a concussion and what doesn't," Herring said during a May 2009 interview. "A ding is not always a ding.

"Most sports concussions do not involve being knocked out, only 10 percent do. Some people have a headache. Others are dizzy. Others might have problems with memories. It's not a one-size-fits-all situation."

O'Neil ended up missing 46 days of school during the 2008-09 school year because of the aftereffects of her injury.

It wasn't until that spring that she finally got to participate in athletics as part of Sequim's track team.

Now a freshman at the University of Washington, she has few regrets.

Kuerbitz, 50, pleaded guilty on Sept. 26 to one count of criminal sexual conduct, first degree, as well as one count of being a habitual offender, fourth offense in front of Sixth Circuit Court Judge Rae Lee Chabot. CSC, first degree is a felony punishable by up to life in prison. In exchange for his plea, an additional count of CSC, first degree and one count of CSC, third degree were dismissed.

Kuerbitz has been in the Oakland County Jail for the past 18 months and will receive credit for time served. Sentencing is


set for Oct. 20.

According to police reports, on July 25, 2009, Brandon Township deputies responded to Allen and Seymour Lake roads on a welfare check and upon arrival, made contact with the 31-year-old victim, who said he'd been abused by Kuerbitz since Kuerbitz became his guardian in 2007. The most recent assault occurred two days prior.

Kuerbitz and the victim had been living in a home in the 400 block of W. Seymour Lake Road since 2008. The victim described crimes committed against him by Kuerbitz that included forced sexual acts including sodomy.

On March 24, after several months of investigation by police and prosecutors, Dr. Charles Clark, a board certified forensic psychologist, conducted a mental evaluation on the victim, who was determined to be not mentally capable of consentinga minimum amount of work, as requested, up to a stated maximum, and the Agency agreed to pay Maxima the annual "Guaranteed Minimum" sum of $420,5342 (plus an equipment sum not at issue).  Maxima was required to present monthly reports of the work performed.  The contract term was from October 1, 1981 to September 30, 1982, with two one-year options to renew by the Agency.

3
Before entry into the contract Maxima had proposed a different arrangement, whereby the Agency would compensate Maxima on a cost plus fixed fee formula that did not include a minimum obligation on either side.  The Agency rejected Maxima's proposal, and insisted on the Agency's terms whereby Maxima would stand ready to perform at the guaranteed minimum level.  In consideration of


the contract year and in connection with negotiations for future arrangements, the parties agreed that Maxima would provide to the Agency an additional (thirteenth) month of services "without additional consideration" beyond the Total Guaranteed Minimum for the twelve months then ending, along with entry into a new contract for the subsequent year, now on a cost plus fixed fee formula.  The unused contract minimum was billed to the Agency on October 31, 1982, upon completion of the thirteenth month's work, and was paid in December 1982.

6
The contract contained the "Termination for convenience of the government" clause that is usual in government contracts.  The Agency did not invoke this clause during the term of the contract, nor for a year thereafter.  On November 16, 1983 theAgency advised Maxima that the contract was constructively terminated for convenience on October 31, 1982, based on the Agency's failure to have ordered the contractual minimum amount of services during the contract term.  On appeal to the Board, the Agency was held liable only for the services actually ordered and received, at the rate set in the contract for the various services.  Maxima was ordered to refund the balance of the contractual minimum that the Agency had paid the previous December.

The Issue

7
The issue on appeal, as it was before the Board, is "the central question of law, the question of whether the termination clause of the contract can be asserted retroactively where guaranteed minimum quantities have not been ordered."    Maxima, 86-2 BCA at


in the procurement regulations that authorize "actual" termination for convenience.  Constructive termination is applied when the basis upon which a contract was actually terminated is legally inadequate to justify the action taken.  The doctrine traces its origins to College Point, wherein the Supreme Court held:

16
A party to a contract who is sued for its breach may ordinarily defend on the ground that there existed, at the time, a legal excuse for nonperformance by him, although he was then ignorant of the fact.  He may, likewise, justify an asserted termination, rescission, or repudiation, of a contract by proving that there was, at the time, an adequate cause, although it did not become known to him until later.

17
267 U.S. at 15-16, 45 S.Ct. at 200-201 (footnotes omitted).

18
Collegethe Torncello proscription against "dishonoring, with impunity, its obligations".  The government states that it erred in failing to terminate the contract during its term, in paying the contract minimum, and in accepting the thirteenth month of services, and must be allowed to correct these errors.  Finally, the government argues that retroactive constructive termination must be permitted or the termination for convenience clause in the contract would be meaningless.

24
The Board, holding for the government, relied on College Point, which it states has "striking similarities to the instant case".  We discern scant similarity.  In College Point, World War I ended less than three weeks after the contract with the Navy was signed;  the Navy "suggested" that the contractor stop work, which it did;  and


the contractor then sought to recover its full prospective profits.  The Supreme Court observed that the Navy did not appear to know at the time of its "suggestion" that it had an absolute right of cancellation based on a 1917 statute, and held that the government could retroactively rely on this statutory right.  The Court held that there had been an anticipatory breach by the government, and the only question was the measure of damages:

25
As [the government's] efforts to procure consent to cancel proved futile, stopping the work was an anticipatory breach.  The question remains whether the measure of damages recoverable for this breach is the same as it would have been if the Government had not possessed the right of cancellation.

26
267 U.S. at 15,estopped by an act of waiver in the same manner as a private contractor.  Such a result is justified by the plain language of the contract and accords with the principles of fair dealing.

34
The Roberts court favorably cited Appeal of Randall Construction Co., WDBCA 675, 2 CCF 1117 (1944), which held unreasonable a delay of more than one year after completion of work before the government attempted to reduce the contract price.

35
Here Maxima knew that the government was not meeting its minimum rate of orders but, unlike the contractor in American Western, Maxima brought the situation to the attention of the Agency during the contract term, and the government required Maxima to comply with the contract as written.5   This circumstance weighs on the side of


fully performed in accordance with its terms.  The asserted partial constructive termination for convenience was improper.  The Board's judgment is reversed, with instructions to enter judgment in favor of Maxima.

46
REVERSED.

47
NIES, Circuit Judge, dissenting.

48
I dissent.  In October, 1982, Maxima actually performed services priced at $32,236.85 under the subject contract for which Maxima submitted a voucher for payment of $267,872.50 for "services performed."    The voucher was approved by the contracting officer, who mistakenly thought that the government was liable for that amount regardless of the quantity of services ordered, and payment followed routinely.  The voucher and the payment were erroneous because, under the terms of the contract, Maxima was entitled to payment only for services actually ordered by the government, performed by Maxima,and accepted by the government.1   In an audit a year later, the erroneous payment was discovered and the agency asserted a claim against the contractor for the amount of the overpayment less an allowance for the contractor's termination for convenience costs.  The contracting officer's decision allowed the government's claim and Maxima appealed that decision to the board.

49
The board upheld the government's entitlement on its claim for return of the erroneous payment.  On the issue of entitlement the board held:

50
The payment of the invoice was unauthorized and therefore mistaken.  Such funds paid under a mistake of law must be refunded.   DiSilvestro v. United States, 405 F.2d 150 (2d Cir.1968), cert. denied, 96 U.S. 964 (1969).

 Thereafter, the parties filed with the Board a Parties' Joint Motion for Clarification asking guidance from the Board regarding the disputed facts to provide the basis for a stipulation.  Subsequently, in a conference held on November 25, 1985, the parties agreed that the third condition in appellant's letter of September 27, 1982, limiting the services to be called for in the thirteenth month, was based upon appellant's concern that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) might exceed appellant's capacity to perform.  The parties further agreed that they considered the case ripe for decision of the question of law presented.

73
Because this opinion is dispositive of the appeal, the factual presentation of the appeal presented in our earlier opinion is set forth in its entirety below.

74
On April 23,exercise the option to renew the contract with minimum and maximum quantities, but would seek to replace the contract with a cost reimbursement type.  Because of time constraints to process the new contract and desiring continuous service, EPA wanted an extension of 1 month on the existing contract.  Maxima was asked to provide its cost reimbursable proposal to provide the service for the following 2 years, which it did by letter of September 13, 1982.  The letter also stated Maxima's belief that it should be paid for the initial contract term on the basis of the negotiated fixed-unit prices and minimum guarantees.

80
The parties met on September 24, 1982, to discuss a 1-month extension of the existing contract and the proposal for the following years on


the words "Goods or services have been delivered as requested by the contract to support this payment."    It appears that this was the regular payment procedure and that the contracting officer did not see or approve the voucher.  The voucher was paid on or about December 20, 1982.

88
In October 1983, the EPA Office of General Counsel learned that the voucher had been paid.  By letter dated November 16, 1983, the EPA termination and claims contracting officer (successor to James Kranda) advised Maxima that EPA's failure to order the contract minimum quantities was a constructive termination of the contract for the convenience of the Government effective October 31, 1982, and requested Maxima to submit a termination settlement proposal in accordance with the termination clausewas relying on being paid for services rendered during the 30-day extension from funds already obligated on the contract.  Both appellant and the contracting officer were ignorant of the fact that the Government was liable only for termination costs for the failure to order the minimum quantities.  By agreeing that the 30-day extension was without additional consideration, appellant merely allowed the contract performance period to be extended.  There were no amendments to the contract agreement, and therefore, the terms during the 30-day extension were the same as they were during the previous 12 months.  The Government would order services during the extended period and pay for those services on acceptance.  There was no new agreement, but simply an extension of the existing contract,


during the first year "resulted in significant operating losses" and "a potentially serious cash flow problem", and that "[a]lthough the contract guarantees provided some protection against losses at the end of each contract term, there was no contract provision for some sort of progress payments in accordance with the guaranteed minimum."
The agency had ignored Maxima's several earlier complaints and had held Maxima to the contract terms, such that the unused minimum accumulated unpaid until the end of October 1982 (the thirteenth month) when Maxima billed the entire annual minimum plus the October services, a total of $267,872.50.  This was not, as the dissent states, payment for one month's services.

Tekkerkane: Born 1986 in Schwetzingen Germany, Patrick aka Tekkerkane had an early interest in music. Especially the uprising electronic music genres took a big place in his heart. As he got older his taste evolved more and more to hard drum driven productions with a big love for heavy basslines. His special style of mixing Hardtechno is unique in the scene. He will always serve a premium selection of brand new, forward driven, bassline heavy tracks on the dance floor, topped with some Hardtechno Classics that you never heard before in a way like this. What makes his style so special is his unique style of cutting tracks, making his sets various and loaded, heating up clubs all over Europe. Promise, you never heard Hardtechno this way! Notbecomes his biggest passion and interest, growing his skills day by day. Until today he performed in some of the best clubs, events and festival in North Italy (Hardcore Italia, Warning, Malefik, HardcoreFest, Sunbeat, Hardtellina, The Bass Valley, Hard Attack, Fearless and many more...) His very own style based off a fine blend of Frenchcore-uptempo-hardfloor&crossbreed will drive you crazy on the dancefloor, guaranteed!

============

Republic of Korea (Korea hereafter) experienced harsh economic crisis due to failure of foreign currency management in the late 1990s. To overcome the crisis, the Korean Government decided to receive special economic relief loan (US\$21 billion) from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Although they repaid 90% of the loan to IMF and officially announced the end of crisis in 2001, the toll of overcoming economic crisis was to accept a comprehensive structural adjustment program requested by IMF. This program required a financial and corporate restructuring, a tighter but market-oriented macroeconomic policy, and an increase of labor market flexibility, all of which are largely based on the \"neo-liberal\" ideology \[[@B1],[@B2]\]. Under the restructuring program, not only the economic sectors but also almost all spheres of Korean society, including culture


the feeling of social exclusion increase among the poor. These processes naturally result in the degradation (or at least no promotion) of their physical and mental health, widening the health gap relative to those less affected by insecure labor market conditions. Second, commodification of public goods that used to be protected by the government is one of the major characteristics of neo-liberalism. Medical care systems and organizations are typical examples of public goods. Inception of market interest in health-related industry resulted in the escalation of medical service price, which in turn functions as a limitation to the access and utilization of medical services particularly for those with little socioeconomic resources, enlarging social inequality in health.

Given Korea\'s experience of economic crisis and the spread of neo-liberal market oriented economy,used two national data sources, the Korean national death registry files and the Korean census data in 1993, 1995, 2000, 2005, and 2010, to calculate educational inequalities in life expectancy and age-specific death rates (ASDR) \[[@B10]\]. The reason that 1993 was considered here, although census was taken in 1990, is that the Korean national death registry file began to classify educational attainment from 1993. Age-specific population size by educational attainment in 1993 was the average of corresponding populations between 1990 and 1995. We divided our data into three time points: before (1993--1995), during (2000), and after (2005--2010) the economic crisis to observe how social inequalities in mortality changed over time. This study used educational attainment as a proxy for social class because of the following two reasons: 1)


males than females, however the gap became notably worse from 1995 toward 2010 among females than males. For example, the social inequalities in life expectancy and mortality in females was smaller than males, however the social gradient become wider from 1995 to 2010 compared to males. Overall, the gradient of life expectancy at age 40 by educational attainment persisted during the period of economic crisis in Korea, although there were no life expectancy reversals even in the lowest educated groups. The absolute and relative discrepancies in life expectancy clearly indicate that the exacerbation was more pronounced in females than in males.

######

Life expectancies disparities at age 40 years old by the level of educational attainments among Koreans (1993, 1995, 2000, 2005, and 2010)

  **a. Absolute differences intremendous gaps versus the college-educated even before the crisis (around 10- year life expectancy differences at age 40 in men and 4-year in women in 1995). However, the Korean elementary-educated still gained (3.1-year in men: 4.4-year in women, from 1995 to 2010) without reversal in their life expectancy at 40 in a decade although the college-educated acquired many more years (4.79 in men: 6.10 in women from 1995 to 2010). Korea exhibits much worse socioeconomic disparities in life expectancy between two subgroups nearly a decade after crisis compared to follow-up outcome in similar years after crisis in Russia. As mentioned above, a twofold mechanism by which neo-liberalism can increase health inequality can be considered: commodification of medical services and enlarged socioeconomic polarization. We believe the latter played a


this study.

Then why has the inequality in mortality increased only in working aged Koreans since the economic crisis? Labor market flexibility was one of the major conditions required by the IMF restructuring program. Under this condition and subsequent legalization of layoffs during corporate restructuring, companies, regardless of their size, began to actively utilize human resource policies that replaced regular workers with non-regular workers. The less educated or unskilled manual workers in their 40s and 50s were often the prime subject of layoffs or replacement. Before the economic crisis, employment in a company, regardless of the size of the company, meant lifetime employment in Korea. The concept of non-regular or part-time worker rarely existed in the country, and the most important factor that determined worker\'s salary was the senioritysystem. As the labor market became flexible and layoffs became legally supported, most companies began to downsize themselves by eliminating uncompetitive workers whose salary was relatively high but whose task was easily replaceable. The less educated or unskilled manual workers in their 40s and 50s who used to be protected by the lifetime employment inevitably became the victim of such transformation in the labor market. Increased insecurity in the job markets of the 40s and the 50s quickly worsened the share of non-regular jobs and a rapid surge in the size of the working-poor population, apart from the traditional poor. Then it gave rise to worsening inequalities and socioeconomic upheaval among all poor Koreans of working age \[[@B24],[@B27]\]. Under the process of such economic restructuring, downward social mobilization


determined with the available data. Thirdly, this study includes trends for the life expectancy measurement among Korean population only consider five different time periods (1993, 1995, 2000, 2005, and 2010). However, this data set supports our hypothesis by showing the typical changes among three different time periods: before (1993,1995), in the middle of economic crisis (2000), recovering period (2005,2010).

In conclusion, our study discovered that the harms were concentrated among low educated people, especially among working-aged population and women compared to elderly and men, during the late 1990s\' economic decline and following neoliberal restructuring in Korea. These results may give lesson to current commodification process of medical services taken place in Korea, which have consisted of launching a government-level task force team to allow private hospitals modifying their legalDonald Trump needs to ditch his cronies, get off the golf course, and go thank the men and women who keep us safe.

It was New Year's Day 1993 in Somalia, and the 41st president of the United States was exhausted in the equatorial heat settling over a former Soviet air base that the U.S. Marines had recently occupied.

George H.W. Bush was 68 years old and a lame-duck president weeks from leaving office. One of his last decisions as president was sending troops to Somalia for famine-relief security. Now he wanted to thank them, and had flown in by Black Hawk helicopter from a Navy amphibious assault ship off the African shore.

It must have been a tiring trip from Washington because Bush looked drawn and weary. He had a


office.

President George W. Bush met with ground troops in Baghdad within 10 months of initiating that war in 2003. He would make four trips to Iraq and two to Afghanistan. When I covered those conflicts, an Air Force crew flying casualties in Afghanistan told me about welcoming Bush aboard their plane full of the wounded. They would never forget how the 43rd president stretched out on the aircraft's metal floor so he could talk face-to-face with a wounded servicemember on a bottom bunk.

President Obama met with troops in Iraq as a senator in 2008 and returned as president within three months of taking office in 2009. He would visit servicemembers in Afghanistan four times during his presidency. During a surprise trip in 2014, after addressing a crowd ofuniformed personnel, Obama made a point of shaking hands with each of them.

Most of the time, these trips produce little political payoff. News coverage is scant. Most Americans back home are asleep during the visit. And it's not a time or place for major policy speeches or rallying oratory. It's also a long way to travel with living conditions far less accommodating than the White House or a luxury Florida resort like Trump's Mar-a-Lago.

And the visits are not without risk. After Defense Secretary James Mattis flew into Afghanistan last September, the Kabul airport came under an intense rocket attack by militants. Civilians nearby were wounded or killed.

Trump has fostered an image as an advocate for troops and veterans, though not without some controversy. When he criticized NFL players


for kneeling during the national anthem, he characterized the gesture as disparaging those "fighting for our country," even though players said their actions were about systemic racism and law enforcement behavior.

A trip into a war zone is hard to characterize as anything other than a gesture of genuine concern. Today, there are more than 15,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan and at least 6,000 in Iraq and Syria carrying out Trump's war policies.

"We can't comment at this time when the president might travel there," White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders responded to my query about whether Trump intends to visit any of them. She noted that Trump asked Vice President Pence to go see troops in Afghanistan late last month. And Trump himself addressed deployed servicemembers over ThanksgivingSeptember 1588.

Elsinore House

The poet William Butler Yeats and his brother, the artist Jack Butler Yeats, spent their summer holidays at Elsinore House, in Rosses Point.

Elsinore house was the seat of the Middleton Family where the Yeats brothers spent many a summer with their cousins. The house was built by the smuggler John Black or Black Jack. It is said to be still haunted by the ghosts of smugglers tapping on the windows at night. The house has fallen into disrepair and, even though restoration plans have been proposed, it remains derelict. In 2016 a Heritage Council funded conservation study was proposed as a first step in securing the future of the historic Elsinore House.

Atomic Energy Commission's nuclear-powered rocket
program is already one of unrestrained radioactive hubris," Markey wrote in
a letter to O'Leary.

The test was conducted by the Atomic Energy Commission, a predecessor of
the Energy Department, with the assistance of the U.S. Public Health
Service and a private contractor.

At 10:58 a.m. PST on Jan. 12, 1965, scientists conducted what they
called a "controlled excursion."

The rocket took off from Jackass Flats at the Nevada Test Site and
burned off part of its radioactive core in a spectacle that scientists said
"resembled a Roman candle." Prevailing winds pushed the resulting cloud of
radioactive debris Southwest from the test site, over Death Valley, and
then onward over "the Los Angeles area," according to the documents.
Aircraft stopped tracking the cloud when it drifted over the Pacific
Ocean.

Retirement Agreement and Release. We reverse and remand for further proceedings.
The facts are taken from Wal-Mart's First Amended Complaint. In 1978, Coughlin began working for Wal-Mart as the Director for Loss Prevention, where he had the responsibility to investigate theft, fraud, and abuse by Wal-Mart associates, suppliers, and others who may have committed these offenses against the company. From 1983 until 2003, Coughlin held various executive positions within Wal-Mart and the company's Sam's Club division. He also eventually became a member of the Wal-Mart Board of Directors. During this time, he retained responsibility for management of the Loss Prevention Department. In 2003, Coughlin assumed the position of Executive Vice President and Vice Chairman of the Board of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (USA), and later became Vice Chairman of Wal-Mart'sBoard of Directors.
In 2004, Wal-Mart announced that Coughlin would retire in 2005. On January 22, 2005, Wal-Mart and Coughlin entered into a Retirement Agreement, which included the Release between the parties, under which Coughlin was to receive millions of dollars in benefits over the ensuing years. In February 2005, after the execution of the agreement, Wal-Mart learned of Coughlin's fraudulent conduct after a store associate alerted Wal-Mart's internal investigations group that Coughlin had used a Wal-Mart gift card, issued internally for associate relations, for personal purchases. Through the internal investigation that followed, Wal-Mart learned that Coughlin had abused his position of authority and conspired with subordinates to misappropriate hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and property through various fraudulent schemes. Three months after Wal-Mart signed the Retirement


Retirement Agreement and Release. The circuit court ruled in its order that Wal-Mart had failed to plead specifically that it was fraudulently induced to sign the Retirement Agreement and Release. The court further stated that whether Coughlin had a duty to disclose material facts to Wal-Mart before signing the Retirement Agreement and Release was an issue of first impression in Arkansas and that it would not reach such a conclusion, particularly in light of the Release. In its order, the circuit court said: "the Arkansas trial court is the wrong venue in which to make new case law."
On November 4, 2005, Wal-Mart filed its First Amended Complaint and added fraudulent inducement of the Retirement Agreement and Release as a new claim for relief. Wal-Mart alleged in that newa cameo that justified her presence on the mirror-image poster. But she's really sardonic and funny as the know-it-all girl, and a necessary balance to the other female characters, who are either drips (Mena Suvari), ditzes (Tara Reid), dorks (Allyson Hannigan-- at least until the great twist at the end) or unrealistic fantasies (Shannon Elizabeth). Lyonne lets the movie get away with all the focus on the boys, since there's at least an acknowledgement that girls can be just as dirty.The official released soundtrack featured a bunch of forgettable songs by bands we barely remember-- Sugar Ray, Dishwalla, Blink-182.

Now pretty much every kid with an iPhone can and will do it. Way to be ahead of the curve, Jim and Nadia!I was impressed by the scene where Mena Suvari's choir girl character explains her life isn't that different fromthe party kids, or how the band camp kids-- dorky as they are-- really are having fun. A lot of high school movies divide things between the popular kids and the losers doing nothing with their lives, butnicely captures the many, many different universes of high school, all of them distinct and largely doing just fine on their own. And yet..The character of Nadia especially is pure teenage fantasy, as is Stifler's mom-- both lead to good jokes, but they also kind of ruin the reality of the movie. And the less said about the cliched nonsense of Chris Klein ditching the lacrosse game for the choir championship, the better.One group of dudes watching Jim's webcam exploits (who are actually the band Blink 182-- how 90s can you

The movie does so well by most of its characters-- especially the guys, of course-- and it's surprising to see Sitfler stuck on the sidelines.What feltso fresh aboutat the time is that it wasn't the sugarcoated teen movies of the era (etc.) and it also wasn't the 80s John Hughes model.

Each
year the Vicenza Antiquaria, the antiques fair in
Vicenza presents a selection of the best items
from the minor museum collections of
the Veneto. This year the choice fell on church
vestments and lace from the collection of the
Istituzioni di Ricovero e di Educazione, the old
hospitals, charitable institutions and
girls schools of Venice. This collection of
nearly 1000 objects is scattered over various
churches, oratories and institutes.

The
selection shown in Vicenza included chasubles
from three sets of embroidered vestments. Two
with rich embroidery in coloured silks and gold
thread are dated to thefirst half of the 18th
century and attributed to Venetian workshops. The
third, embroidered in coloured silks, has a
design of 18th-century inspriation, but with
elements that date it to the second half of the
19th century. Nos 1 and 3 come from the Ospedale

text in Dutch and English,
illustrated in colour and black and white

This
exhibition, held in the splendid setting of the
Hessenhuis, a 16th-century warehouse of which the
interior was adapted in the 19th century, marked
the fiftieth anniversary of the Rubens House in
Antwerp. The last section of the lavish
catalogue, which is devoted to embroidery, begins
with an excellent introduction by Frieda Sorber
on embroidery in Antwerp in the 17th century.
Much documentary evidence is presented on
professional embroiderers, whose numbers
increased in the first half of the century, but
declined


sharply thereafter. An interesting
aspect here is the evidence of contact between
Antwerp embroiderers and their counterparts in
Spain. Records reveal that the period of
apprenticeship for an embroiderer was three
years, after which he could become a master,
provided he could afford the enrolment fee. There
are no references to women in the registers of
the Antwerp Guild of St Luke, the painters
guild to which the embroiderers also belonged, in
the first half of the 17th century and only two
in the second half.

The professional embroiderers in the
guild mainly did church work, but they probably
also embroidered costume items such as gloves,
although, to judge from inventories and account
books, not much embroidery seems to have been
worn by well-to-do people in 17th-century
Antwerp. Embroidery was also used only sparsely
for furnishing, but many inventories contain
references to embroidered pictures, some of which
may havebeen amateur work. Nor have any Antwerp
cabinets decorated with embroidery been found in
Antwerp inventories as yet, although they are
mentioned in trade records from 1621 to at least
1665. Interesting documentary evidence is also
given in the discussion of techniques.
The section on white embroidery on linen
naturally focusses on the records of the Plantin
firm, but other accounts are also quoted, notably
those of the De Wael firm from 1648 onwards,
which contain several references to whitework
designed in Antwerp and combined with Flemish
lace, but actually worked in Spain.

By contrast to all
this commercial activity, references to amateur
work done at school or in the home are almost
nonexistent. Nor were any pattern books ever
published in Antwerp. The embroideries in the
exhibition, all illustrated in colour, have
scenes after compositions by Rubens, which
continued to be used up to the first quarter


of
the 18th century. These are worked in or nue
and/or needle painting and show varying degrees
of refinement. It seems possible to distinguish
various hands, but no attributions can be made to
a particular workshop.

Chasuble, with
symbols
of Four Evangelists

One
piece bears the date 1658: a chalice veil showing
the Descent of the Holy Ghost surrounded by
beautifully worked symmetrical coiling stem and
formal ornament in gold thread of various kinds
on a red satin ground.

The most splendid embroidery in the
exhibition was a breathtakingly beautiful altar
frontal with a central scene of the Baptism of
Christ done in subtle needle painting, which is
surrounded by cherubs heads and a design of
scrolling branches with flowers, fruit and leaves
worked mainly in gold and some silver thread in
relief against a background embroidered in silver
thread. The gold embroidery is further enhanced
by subtle accents in colouredsilks, but the most
extraordinary thing about it is that, although it
is so rich and extensive, it does not distract
attention from the small central medaillion.
Unfortunately the catalogue contains only a
detail photograph of the latter, which does not
do justice to the beauty of the frontal as a
whole. It belonged to the Begijnhof church at
Lier and probably came from the same workshop as
a chasuble orphrey from Antwerp Cathedral showing
the Resurrection surrounded by the symbols of the
four evangelists, the purchase of which was
recorded in 1721, though without any mention of
the name of the embroiderer, who was certainly a
supreme craftsmen, not to say artist. These
pieces are, indeed, all the more remarkable for
dating from a period when this kind of embroidery
was rapidly going out of fashion.

Commonwealth women who were
interned in Chiangi gaol in Singapore from 1942
to the middle of 1944. The quilts, each composed
of 66 six-inch squares of white sacking
embroidered and signed by individual women, were
made as gifts for the British, Australian and
Japanese Red Cross. They were also a way of
communicating with the womens menfolk, who
at that time were interned in Chiangi Military
Barracks. Many of the squares inevitably reflect
the popular floral embroidery of the day and
there is even a crinoline lady in one
of them, but some contain nostalgic or patriotic
motifs or reflections of the womens harsh
situation. The quilts given to the Japanese and
Australian Red Cross are now at the Canberra War
Memorial in Australia, that given to the British
Red Cross in the British Red Cross Museum.

careful to avoid blatantly antagonistic images,
but which, bearing the stitched signatures ofits
makers, remains nevertheless a poignant testament
to their courage and endurance

Summary by A.W,
The monography of the textile artist is divided
into 3 parts. The first part is dedicated to
biographical statements, part two deals with the
artistic development, part three is a work
catalogue.
Elsi Giauque-Kleinpeter studied at Zuerich School
of Arts and Crafts and her most important
teachers were Sophie Taeuber Arp (1889-1943) and
Otto Morach (1887-1973). She was married to her
collegue and painter Fernand Giauque. From
1925-1943 they made their living by creating and
selling works of art and craft. In 1925 they
exhibited in Paris at the international
exhibition of decorative art,


and in 1928 Elsi
took part at the Swiss womens exhibition
SAFFA.

From 1944-1966 she
was teaching students at the Zuerich School of
Arts and Crafts. In early years she was
experimenting with different techniques and there
are a few embroideries and also printed textiles.
But the period from 1967-1989 was most important
for her artistic development.
During her studies in Zuerich she learned how to
play with marionettes. Later on from 1930-40 she
and her husband had their own puppet show. Here
she was fascinated by the movement of the
threads. It became the basis of her future work.
She was convinced that textile art has its own
language an there is no connection with painting.

Elsi Giauque
exhibited many times at the Biennials of Lausanne
and all Triennials of Milan. Her works are
exhibited in museums, churches, theaters, schools
and private houses. Here she developed space
installations. Her"element spatial"
was shown in different exhibitions. With these
and other textile space sculptures she became one
of the pioneers of free textile art.

Notes, Bibliography, Appendix, Glossary, Index

In this first lavishly
illustrated and authoritative introduction to the
collection, Santina Levey places the textiles in their
day-to-day context. Using account books and other
archival material, she describes the origins of the
different types of furnishing, whether bought ready-made
or put together and decorated by embroiderers.
Inventories, letters, and personal reminiscences are used
to chart the later history of the house and the
inevitable alterations that four hundred years of use
wrought on the original furnishings.

A second volume will be published
later in


the form of a catalogue of the embroideries with
full technical descriptions and information about the
sources of their designs and subject-matter. They will
also be assessed in relation to other surviving pieces
and to relevant descriptions in sixteenth century
archival material.

explained how the embroidery display by the Royal School
of needlework in London at


the Piladelphia Centennial
Exhibition of 1876 led to the establishment in 1878 of an
Art Needlework Department in what was then called the
Pennsylvania Museums School of Industrial Design,
which became a separate institution the year after.
Embroideries were also acquired by the museum, mostly to
serve as models for the application of art to industry,
but collecting was not done systematically, so there are
still many gaps in the collection.

Ecclesiastical
embroideries (pp.49-55) include German, Italian and
Flemish Medieval orphreys, a Spanish 17th-century
chasuble, Tyrolean, German, Italian and French chasubles
of the 18th century, including a German one dated 1755,
and two Italian copes, one 17th, one 18th century.

Also illustrated
(pp.56-612) are an English Elizabethan embroidered coif
and 17th-century crewelwork hanging, French and Italian
valances, an English heralds tabard of the early
18th century, an American womans pocket and an 18th
century stomacher and collar, possiblyfrom Italy, a
Swiss wall pocket, Spanish and Mexican work, a Berlin
woolwork picture, an ecclesiastical embroidery attributed
to Walter Crane, a curtain designed by Alexander Fisher
and a handkerchief designed by Hector Guimard.

A further section covers
samplers and embroidered pictures (pp. 76-89), mainly
from the large Whitman Sampler Collection donated in
1969. The collection as a whole numbers nearly 700
samplers and embroidered pictures. Illustrated are a
Philadelphia school sampler of 1737, a varied selection
of British samplers, Spanish and German examples, a dutch
darning sampler and various American examples, including
a whitework one of 1771, plus embroidered pictures of
various dates.

The
section on quilts and coverlets, pp. 89-101 comprises a
fine array of American work of various kinds.
The collection further includes Persian (pp.116-7),
Turkish (pp. 120-123), Algerian (p. 124), Greek Island
(p. 125) and Central Asian (pp. 126-7) work; Indian
embroidery of many kinds


(pp. 130, 131, 133, 136,
137-146); Chinese embroideries including robes and work
for the Western market (pp. 165, 168, 169, 172, 173-177)
and fine Japanese embroideries, including kimonos (pp.
180-183, 185, 186, 189, 191).

In
this article the series of 4 embroidered tapestries is
compared with 3 similar and at the same time different
designs:
The tapestries show Apollo, Juno, Venus, Saturn and they
were identified by M.J.P. Babelon in 1967 as belonging to
Sully, the coat of arms are those of the family Bethune
Sully. Venus of the tapestries could very well represent
Gabrielle dEstrees maîtresse of Henry 4, and she
could have ordered the series between 1594-1599. Nicolas
Fleury, valet de chambre and embroiderer of Henry 4,
possibly embroidered them.
Gabrielle died on the 10th of April 1599 at the birth of
her 4th child. At that time her father Antoine
dEstrees lived as grandmaître dArtillerie
in the Arsenal. When he learned about his daughters death
he very quickly saved her precious belongings.
The king forced him to quit his position and his
predecessor since November 13th 1599 was Sully. He also
lived in the Arsenal and probably found the tapestries
here. He might have had the idea to complete the series
representing himself and his family. In his inventary of
1634 the embroiderer Boudin is named.

sampler exhibition of Whitney Antiques of 1997
the theme of British and Irish place names is chosen.
Included is a group of four Quaker samplers from Ackworth
School and two Manchester Sunday School samplers. They
have not been illustrated previously.
The names of the village or town in which the samplers
were worked enabled to trace specific details about the
institutions in which the samplers were worked.
Ackworth School was founded by Dr. John Fothergill in
1779 from the Foundling Hospital at Ackworth, Yorkshire.
Education was provided for children whose parents were of
the Quaker faith. Until 1847 there were no annual
holidays and many of the children did not return home
until after their education was completed. Education was
combined with manual work. Extra money was earned by
taking orders for plain sewing from the outside
community.
The girls embroidered their samplers in onecolour in
cross stitch on a woollen ground. The motifs appear in a
series of medaillons and octagons with a border of hall
shapes. These forms peculiar to Quaker needlework are
also to be found in America.

During the early 19th c.
the Sunday School movement was the only education
available to the poor. It was started by Robert Raikes
(1735-1811) around 1780. The growth of the movement was
due to Sara Trimmer and Hannah More. Children could be
admitted from the age of 5 years and they were taught
reading by studying the bible. The girls were also taught
sewing and knitting skills.


Australian medical patents granted in the United States in 1984-1999.
To describe all medical patents granted in the United States to Australian-resident inventors between 1984 and 1999. All patent data originated from the US Patent and Trademark Office. Data for 1984-1994 were compiled by CHI Research Inc, and data for 1995-1999 were obtained from the Community of Science website. Number of medical patents granted in the US to Australian-resident inventors; assignees (owners) of these medical patents; proportion of these medical patents related to biotechnology. From 1984 to 1999, 7835 utility patents were granted in the US to Australian-resident inventors. Of these, 1308 patents (17%) were identified as medical patents; 489 (37%) of these were biotechnology patents. Medical patents account for an increasing proportion of all US patents granted toEngland.

Relatively little information is available in the literature regarding perinatal mortality in Saudi Arabia and none concerning the value of a full fetal assessment screening program in its reduction. This study analyzes all deliveries with a birth weight of greater than 500 grams at the North West Armed Forces Hospital (NWAFH) for the year 1992. It investigates the causes of perinatal death, ascertaining those which could potentially have been avoided and assessing the role which a fetal assessment screening program might have played in its reduction. There were 4387 babies born during this period. The combined perinatal mortality rate was 16.3%. Of these, 6.5% comprised babies weighing less


He stated that a confidential informant, Vanedda Dick,
was employed in this operation. Officer Wilson testified that Dick had been used by the Troy Police
Department on prior occasions and that she was compensated $50 for procuring drugs in
misdemeanor cases and $100 in felony cases.
         Officer Wilson stated that, on August 20, 2004, he and Troy Chief of Police James Cleek
were contacted by Dick about a possible drug deal. Officer Wilson said that he and Chief Cleek met
Dick behind the water tower at Central School. Next, Officer Wilson testified that they gave Dick
$60 to purchase drugs and a small recording device to wear, which transmitted sound back to the
officers as well as recorded the transaction. Officer Wilson then stated that Dick intendedto travel
to 207 Church Street to purchase Oxycontin from the Defendant. Officer Wilson conceded that he
and Chief Cleek briefly lost sight of Dick when she turned onto Church Street, to park in front of the
Defendant’s home, but that she was constantly monitored via the recording device she wore.
According to Officer Wilson, after a few minutes, Dick left the Defendant’s residence, and he and
Chief Cleek followed Dick back to the water tower, where she presented them with two eighty
milligram tablets of Oxycontin. During Officer Wilson’s testimony, the State played a tape that was
made via the recording device taped to Dick. Officer Wilson stated that, although the recording was
difficult to follow, the live feed that he and Chief Cleek recieved in the patrol car was more
intelligible.


   On cross-examination, Officer Wilson stated that he was not aware whether Dick derived
income from any source other than her work as a police informant. He also stated that Dick had
contacted the police on August 20, 2004, because she had set up a drug transaction with the
Defendant. Officer Wilson conceded that the police did not search Dick prior to or after her
transaction with the Defendant. With regard to the audio recording played by the State, Officer
Wilson stated that Dick taped the recording device used to make the recording onto herself, right
below her bra. Officer Wilson conceded that the excess noise on the tape could have been
deliberately created by Dick rubbing on her chest.

        Dick testified that, on August 20,2004, she met Officer Wilson and Chief Cleek of the Troy
Police Department regarding a drug transaction that she had arranged. She stated that she then went
to the Defendant’s home at 207 Church Street and purchased two tablets of Oxycontin for $30 each
from the Defendant. She said that the money that she used to purchase the drugs was supplied by
Officer Wilson and Chief Cleek and that after purchasing the drugs she turned them over to Officer
Wilson and Chief Cleek. She also testified that during the transaction she wore a recording device.
On cross-examination, Dick testified that she had approached the Troy Police Department about
work as a confidential informant and that her motivation was to staunch the supply of drugs available
to her within the community because she was a former user


Mexican prosecutors say they have found a tunnel equipped with ventilation and lighting that headed from the city of Tijuana toward the United States.

The attorney general's office did not say whether the 563-yard-long passage tunnel actually reached U.S. soil.

The tunnel had rails, apparently used to push loads of drugs through. It was about 3 feet wide and 4 feet high, and was built about 23 feet under ground level

Prosecutors found over 2 metric tons of marijuana in packages at the house where the tunnel began on the Mexican side.Introduction {#Sec1}
============

Paleokarstification is referred as karstification occurred before Cenozoic to carbonate rocks that were exposed or close to land surface as a result of regional tectonic uplift. It became paleokarst when the karsitified carbonate rocks were later covered by other sedimentary layers due to crustal subsidence (Zhang et al. [@CR30]). Paleokarst is often directly related to the storage and entrapment of hydrocarbon and groundwater, thus becomes the study focus for petroleum geologists and hydrogeologists. Paleokarst, as a petroleum reservoir related with regional unconformity, was broadly discussed at the International Symposium for "Features and Significance of Paleokarst System and Unconformity Surface" held in 1985 (James and Choquette [@CR10]). Chinese scholars studied the characteristics of paleokarst reservoirs and their control for old storages in the Ordos Basin and Tarim Basin


The platform facies in the western Tarim Basin was transited into alternating platform---shelf pattern, with Tabei, Tazhong, and Tangnan platform separated by shelves developed from north to south. A large-scale transgression then occurred in the late Ordovician, which flooded the carbonate platforms and formed a very thick deep water shelf and slope facies dark mudstone and calcareous mudstone. The sedimentary facies in the northeast part of the cratonic margin basin were deep water shelf and bathyal system with a large scale of flysch buildups.Fig. 1Stratigraphy and lithology of the Paleozoic Sediments in the Tarim Basin

The interior cratonic depression and periphery or backarc foreland depression were developed primarily during the Silurian--Middle Devonian period, during which a set of marine clastic rocks, such as shore-shallow marine sandstone, siltstone, mudstone and siltyof Tabei Uplift North

Tectonic evolution, paleogeomorphologic and water systems {#Sec6}
---------------------------------------------------------

Regional tectonic movement could influence the shape of uplift and the scale and strike of faults. At the same time, the karst geomorphology, such as karst forest, karst hills, and valley, formed due to weathering, and erosion could directly influence the hydrogeological condition that controls the development of karst.

Affected by the regional compression in the Earl and Middle Ordovician, the Tarim craton Basin became a structural rift-depression basin, forming a more regional rift and karst plain in the south Tarim Basin. Karstification was mild due to localized faults and lack of dominant fractures. Analysis of mineral data shows that this region was under dry climate condition without abundant surface flow.

The tectonic movement of late Ordovician led to a series


erosion of rock that reached the surface from below.

The Devils Marbles started out, many million years ago, when an upsurge of molten rock penetrated the ground from below, spread out and settled into a solid layer within the Earth's crust. After some time, tectonic forces caused folding of the Earth's crust in the area, which lifted the granite causing it to fracture into big, square blocks. Weathering by water and wind rounded off the edges and turned them into smooth boulders that we see today.

Extreme temperature differences between day and night in the arid desert region where the reserve is located generates immense stress on these boulders, causing them to repeatedly expand and contract. Some of the rocks eventually crack completely in half.

The Devils Marbles have greatsignificance for the Aboriginal people, and are protected under the Northern Territory Aboriginal Sacred Sites Act. In the Aboriginal mythology the Devils Marbles are the eggs of the rainbow serpent, and many "dreamtime" stories and traditions of the Warumungu, Kaytetye and Alyawarre Aboriginal people are linked with this area.

According to one story, 'Arrange', the Devil Man, while walking through the area, made a hair-string belt, a type of traditional adornment, worn only by initiated Aboriginal men. As he was twirling the hair to make strings, he dropped clusters of hair on the ground which turned into the big red boulders. Arrange finally returned to his place of origin, a hill called Ayleparrarntenhe, where the legend says he still lives today.

UNSTAMPED PUBLICATIONS.

presented a Petition from Henry Hetherington, complaining of the prosecution which had been instituted against him, and the confinement to which he had been subjected, for the publication of unstamped publications, and praying that if his imprisonment was to be continued, the law should be enforced against the Penny Magazine and similar unstamped publications.

thought it was much to be regretted, that in this, the second year of a liberal Administration, they should still have one of the Six Acts in existence, and a number of prosecutions instituted under it. He well recollected, when those Six Acts were proposed, how strongly the noble Lord opposite (Lord Althorp), and many of those around him, opposed them day after day, while they were supported by the right hon. Baronet belowhim (Sir Robert Peel) as necessary for the safety and security of the country. He remembered also that at that time the present Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench said, that if such laws should be passed, the constitutional liberties of England would no longer exist, and the late Sir James Macdonald expressed an equally strong opinion against them. Yet, under one of these laws, so characterized, 250 victims had been made to suffer since the present Administration came into office. There had been 170 victims when he last moved for a return on the subject, for the continuation of which return he would move on Monday next, and the prisons were at present full with persons confined for similar offences. He must say, in justice to


the right hon. Baronet below him, that though that right hon. Gentleman and his party had obtained this law, they had never enforced it,—that though they had called for it as expedient, at a time when the country was in a very critical situation, they had never put it into execution. The fact was, that since the present Government had come into office, more victims had been thrown into prison on account of those cheap publications than ever had been before since England was England. Could there be grosser persecution than this—that for an offence of this description, an individual should be dragged from his family, thrown into prison, there confined in the dead of winter, from 5 o'clock in the evening till 7 o'clock in the morning,the course appointed by the Common Law, as to the mode and the period of trial. He hoped that these Acts would soon be obliterated from our laws. He was surprised at what had fallen from the noble Lord in his attempt to show that the Government had not been over severe in enforcing the penalties of the Act. If the finances of the country required the imposition of these penalties, surely they ought not to be left to be enforced by common informers. If, out of 250 cases, only sixteen had been brought forward at the instance of the Government, it showed either a great remissness on its part, or a strong feeling of the injustice of the law which they had to enforce. There was another


that the convictions had nothing political in them. A representation had been made on the subject in the proper quarter, and he had no doubt that proper steps would be taken respecting it.

Mr. Lennard

believed, that his hon. friend, the member for Taunton, intended to introduce a measure for the purpose of abolishing so much of those odious acts as related to the question of libel; and he was sure if he did so, he would receive the support of the great majority of that House.

Mr. Ruthven

condemned the introduction of any measures by which the liberties of the subject were restricted. He found fault, therefore, with the system of prison regulation adopted by magistrates both here and in Ireland, and instanced the case of Mr. Hodnet, a respectable gentlemanArctic breaks records for loss of snow and ice

A fast-changing Arctic broke records for loss of sea ice and spring snow cover this year, as well as summertime melt of the Greenland ice sheet, federal scientists reported Wednesday.

“The Arctic is an extremely sensitive part of the world,” said Jane Lubchenco, administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. As it warms, she said, “we see the results with less snow and sea ice, greater ice sheet melt and changing vegetation.”

Speaking at the fall meeting of American Geophysical Union in San Francisco, Lubchenco and other scientists unveiled the annual update of the Arctic Report Card, a collaboration of more than 140 scientists that summarizes


set in June. Much of the high-latitude landscape has snow covering it for nine months of the year. Although some years are snowier than others, its overall retreat is altering spring river runoff, growing seasons and the behavior of wildlife.

The retreat of snow and ice has come even though air Arctic temperatures were not unusually high this year compared with the last decade, the scientists reported.

This shows the self-perpetuating momentum of warming, they said. As the Arctic loses more highly reflective snow and ice, the warming rays of the sun get absorbed by the darker ground or exposed ocean waters.

“This increases the capacity to store heat within the Arctic system, which enables more melting -- a self-reinforcing cycle,” said Martin Jeffries, co-editor of the report card and aWendy's adds chipotle sauce to 99-cent sandwiches

The present study was designed to obtain quantitative data on the extent of portocaval shunting and the time course of closure of the ductus venosus in newborn lambs. Experiments were conducted on eight newborn lambs prepared with chronic portal catheters. The time course of the postnatal closure of the ductus venosus was determined by following the distribution of radiolabelled microspheres injected into the lamb's portal vein 24, 48, 96, and 168 hr after birth. The fraction of the portal blood flow which bypassed the liver was highly variable. In some animals, the ductus venosus was almost completely closed when the first microspheres were injected 24 hr after birth. In others, almost 40% of the portal blood flow

Shortly after her demotion, on December 6, 1982, Sherman filed a written charge with the EEOC alleging that Standard Rate, through its employee Caldwell, discriminated against her on the basis of her sex. Specifically, Sherman charged that Caldwell sexually harassed her by touching her without her consent, using lewd and suggestive language with her, and threatening and intimidating her in an attempt to force her to submit to his sexual overtures.
Sherman's charge with the EEOC was resolved on March 3, 1983 when the parties and the EEOC entered into a Settlement Agreement ("Settlement") and a Settlement Agreement and Release ("Release"). Pursuant to the Settlement,With respect to the specific promise of training, Sherman alleges that she was told by Standard Rate that she would not receive the promised training because her position was being phased out and she would not be employed with Standard Rate much longer. Sherman was terminated as an employee on December 1, 1984. She alleges that her termination was in retaliation for her earlier filing of sexual discrimination charges with the EEOC.

In stunning news, the National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity (NACIQI) voted on Wednesday to recommend that the U.S. Department of Education suspend for one year the ABA's power to accredit new law schools due to the ABA's "lack of attention to student achievement":

[T]he panel on Wednesday rebuked the American Bar Association, in part for its lack of attention to student achievement.

The ABA accredits law schools, some of them freestanding institutions. NACIQI, after three contentious votes, recommended that the department suspend the association's ability to accredit new members for a year. The panel said the ABA had failed to implement its student achievement standards and probationary sanctions, while also falling short on its audit process and analysis of graduates' debt levels.

One female teacher was 'caught with a male student at home' by husband

In their positions of trust, they work with children on a daily basis.

But these teachers have all been accused of sexual misconduct with at least one of their students.

The suspects, who work at high schools across the U.S., have hit the headlines this week after allegedly having sex with students in classrooms, at their homes, and in a school parking lot.

One female teacher was even caught having sex with a 16-year-old student at her house by her husband, it is alleged. She then reportedly text the boy, saying: 'Lie like you've never lied before.'

Accused: Jenna Tarabelsi (left) allegedly had a sexual relationshipwith at least one student while working as a school career counselor in Massachusetts, while Jessica Fuchs (right), 26, was apparently caught having sex with a 16-year-old student at her home by her husband. Fuchs then reportedly told the boy to lie to detectives

Allegations: Fuchs, who is married, sent the alleged victim at Bainbridge High School (pictured) on Bainbridge Island, Washington, a series of illicit text messages and videos via the popular social media app, SnapChat

In each of the cases, other students and staff members have been left shocked by the allegations, with one school official remarking that such claims are 'unsettling and deeply disturbing' to hear.

Jessica Fuchs, 26, a science teacher in Washington state, is among the educators to have hit the headlines this week after she
