Publisher's Summary

In the midst of the Go-Go '90s, the culture of greed infused the MIT campus. A small blackjack club sprang up, dedicated to counting cards and beating the house at major casinos around the country. The Club grew slowly at first, but by the late 1990s, the right people had come up with the right system to take some of the world's most sophisticated casinos for all they were worth. In less than two years, this ring of card savants earned more than $3 million from corporate Vegas. This is the true story of how they did it.

Bringing Down the House is everyman's dream, certainly every gambler'slaw. The essence of the charges and the essence of our conclusions, however, may be described more simply.
The evidence shows a judge who borrowed $2000 from a lawyer who practices in his court, did not disclose to anyone that money had changed hands, and continued to preside in cases involving his creditor. The judge also borrowed thousands of dollars from a girlfriend, and from her mother, none of which he disclosed and some of which he actively worked to conceal by filing false documents. When some of these parties reported the facts of these transactions, the judge concocted and participated in a plan to retaliate by harming their business.
He asked his principal female employee to lend him money. She complied by providing thousands of dollars as well, none


about the loan when he filed his Statement of Economic Interests in 1986 and his First Amended Statement of Economic Interests in 1987. Record, pp. 207, 260. Yet he admits that within a year of the 1986 loan he acknowledged to Yosha he had not repaid it. Apparently, only the Commission's charges were sufficient to revive his memory of the loan for reporting purposes. After the initiation of those charges, he filed a Second Amended Statement of Economic Interests reporting the loan made four years earlier.
Respondent attempts to diminish the seriousness of these violations by asserting Yosha did not attach any "strings" to the loan or ask for any particular special treatment. Respondent cites the lack of any evidence connecting the loan to any cases in his court.the Code had been violated. We agree with the Masters and adopt their findings in this regard.

III. The William Large Loan
In 1990, Maria Albano, who was dating Respondent, agreed to loan Respondent $3,000. However, the transaction was structured such that Albano wrote a check to Respondent's friend, William Large. William's spouse, Emily, then wrote a check made payable to Respondent. This transaction occurred in the Larges' home, with all the participants present.
No one disputes the loan was in fact from Ms. Albano, as Respondent issued a promissory note to her at the time of the transaction. On January 30, 1991, Respondent filed a Statement of Economic Interests identifying William Large, rather than Maria Albano or Emily Large, as the source of the loan.
According to Respondent, he structured the


in unreported loans were made to the Respondent from either Maria or Bonnie Albano during 1990.
Respondent contends the loans from Maria Albano did not require reporting because Maria and he were dating. He reasons that because of their personal relationship, he would have recused himself from any case involving Maria, and that Jud. Canon 5 of the Code should be read to apply to only those individuals likely to come before the court on which he serves. With regard to the unreported loans from Bonnie Albano, the Respondent contends he did not realize the money was coming from anyone but Maria.
Because of contrary evidence presented at the hearing, the Masters disbelieved Respondent's claim that he was unaware Bonnie Albano was the source of some of the loans. Theomitted from the documents accompanying the letter.
The letter to the Indiana Division of Family and Children, and its accompanying court records did not come from "Concerned Parents of Lebanon, IN." These highly inflammatory documents were the handiwork of Respondent and his son, Matthew Drury.
Respondent admitted procuring copies of certified documents relating to Ms. Albano's conviction. The documents included the order of judgment indicating Ms. Albano was convicted of a misdemeanor. He testified he believed the papers stated she was convicted of a felony. He explained this mistake in part by saying he had not presided in criminal cases for several years. Record, p. 228. Respondent also testified Ms. Albano told him she had been convicted of a felony. Record, p. 227.
Respondent claimed Matt, his teenage son, drafted the


letter before conferring with Respondent about it. Record, p. 232. Respondent asserted he immediately confronted Matt about the letter after discovering it in Matt's underwear drawer sometime around Christmas 1991. Record, p. 231.
Respondent testified he told Matt to destroy the letter and assumed Matt followed those instructions. Record, p. 232. Respondent claimed he did not discuss the letter with his son again until he read newspaper accounts relating the agency's receipt of the letter. Record, p. 233.
Respondent admitted calling the State Welfare Department and obtaining specific Administrative Code citations with regard to preschool teaching requirements. He testified he informed Matt about such research in response to Matt's inquiry; however, Respondent asserts he did not direct Matt to the provisions cited in the letter. Record, p. 253. Telephone recordshe obtained a partial address from his father's papers and obtained the remainder of the address through telephone calls to governmental agencies. Record, pp. 159, 165.
In his earlier deposition, however, Matt testified he found the address for the agency among his father's papers and therefore had no need to make any phone calls to ascertain the address. Record, p. 166. Matt explained this discrepancy by noting he was upset during the deposition. Record, pp. 166-167.
The Masters found the letter was conceived by Respondent but sent by Respondent's son. The Masters found Respondent was angry because his relationship with Maria Albano had terminated in late 1991. He also was angry because the Albanos were responsible for providing information *1008 leading to the charges involving their loans to him, according


conclusion to Respondent is not logical, given the extent of Respondent's judicial experience.
We also believe the conflicts between the testimony of Respondent and his son substantially erode their credibility. Respondent claimed during the hearing before the Masters that he never discussed the letter with his son before discovering it. The son says he drafted the letter after Respondent told him how it could be done. Respondent admitted during his deposition that he probably was responsible for the "genesis" of the letter. Commission Exhibit 10, p. 78.
Matt Drury claims at one point he obtained the agency's address through his father's papers and through telephone calls. That conflicts with the Matt's earlier testimony that he obtained the complete address from his father's papers and therefore did not have to makeof the wild Shawmut Peninsula that loomed out of the mist to greet the 17th century sailors from the Old World.’

Visit the World's 12 Sexiest Museums

"Let's talk about sex baby, let's talk about you and me..." So went the hip-hop trio Salt-n-Pepa's famous words from their hit "Let's Talk About Sex."

Sex. It's a topic that's often touched upon, joked about and skirted around. Increasingly, however, it is on display. From age-old, electric anti-masturbation machines to modern-day S&M portraits, erotic exhibits have taken center stage in the museum world. ABC News has compiled a list of 12 of the world's kinkiest museums that are worth the tease.

Amsterdam's Venustempel, or Temple of Venus, is the world's first and oldest sex museum. The house of eroticism first opened its doors in 1985 and now hosts about 500,000 visitors each year. With three floors of erotic portraits, photographs, paintings and recordings, theVenustempel embodies the highly sexualized nature of this European city. The museum's 4,000-year-old artifacts showcased in its "Sex Through the Ages" exhibit tests modern-day critics' accusation that today's society is too loose.

Saks isn't the only attraction on 5th Avenue. Sex is a highlight as well. After its ribbon-cutting in 2002, the Museum of Sex has grown in size, hosting 15 exhibits, five virtual installations and more than 15,000 erotic artifacts. Unlike the more touristy, specialty-sex museums, this NYC hotspot is run by a board of advisers whose mission is sex education. In addition to its erotic art, costumes and technology, the Museum of Sex offers temporary exhibitions such as Michael Sullivan's "Sex Lives of Robots," "Rubbers: The Life, History and Struggle of the Condom" and "Action: Sex and

World's Kinkiest Museums

What better place to go to on a sex museum tour than Sin City. Las Vegas' Erotic Heritage Museum focuses on Sex All Americana, specifically the American Sexual Revolution of the 19th century. This museum has nine galleries featuring pictures, films and performance art. The name of the game at this museum is sex appreciation of all kinds. The House of Gord exhibit, for example, showcases the allure of ultra bondage, any S&M fan's dream come true. But it's not just strict education at the Erotic Heritage Museum. If you visit, make sure to stop by the bathroom for the "Toilet Humor" exhibit, where you'll not only get a laugh at the dirty jokes graffitied onthe bathroom walls, but you can add your humor to the mix as well.

Paris' Musee de l'Eortisme, or Museum of Eroticism, is devoted to the art of making love. Scattered along its seven floors are four permanent exhibits and a host of temporary delights. The mainstays of the museum include the Popular Art exhibit, showcasing the unrestrained recreational art of Curiosa, the Sacred Art Exhibit, displaying amulets, masks and spiritual objects used in sexual celebrations, the Contemporary Art Exhibit and the Brothel Exhibit.

Open 365 days a year, the Erotic Art Museum never let's up. This German sex museum displays the world's largest publicly accessible collection of sexualized art. The art itself is idolized almost as much as the sex it's portraying. The more than 1,000 works of art


illustrate that anything is possible on paper and canvas, including sex. The Erotic Art Museum also offers guided tours for tourists that call ahead.

Does size really matter? Do men have a G-spot? What are the benefits of having sex regularly? Get these answers and more at the Beate Uhse Erotik Museum in Berlin. Interaction is the name of the game at this international sex museum. With 32 exhibits, 12 interactive games, 3D projections and more than 30 LED screens, this sex museum offers the ideal blend of education and fun characteristic of the German sex industry.

Located in beautiful Barcelona, one of the travel capitals of the world, is the historical Museu de l'Erotica. Spain's Museum of Erotica has been etched into Spanish history as the first museum oferotic art in Spain. Its more than 800 pieces of arts covers every arena of cultural and historical eroticism, from sex of Ancient Civilizations and the Far East to European and Indian tantric sex. Within its seven galleries are also specialty displays, like the sadomasochism exhibit.

9. Museum of Erotica

Saint Petersburg

Rumored to have Russian mystic Rasputin's penis, the Museum of Erotica in Saint Petersburg is a unique sex museum all its own. Rasputin has been considered a legendary psychic and healer, but that's not what put him on the chart. His 12-inch penis is. In addition to owning this legendary piece of phallic property, the Museum of Erotica displays a host of sculptures and paintings.

An electric anti-masturbation machine, chastity belt and handle-operated vibrator are just some of the tantalizing


vicitms. The museum's motto is "No Condom, No Sex." Taking a much more subtle route than the vibrant sex museums of Amsterdam or Germany, Antarang showcases spiritual sexual objects, like the "lingam," a phallic-shaped symbol worshipped by some Hindus.

Located in the heart of the old Chinese fishing village of Tongli and surrounded by traditional Chinese wooden bridges and rock gardens, the China Sex Museum is a fun and kinky break for tourists. The Museum was built on the location of a former young girls' school in 1999 and now has more than 1,500 exhibits. The museum's artifacts span 9,000 years of Chinese sexual history and is divided into four areas- Prehistoric times, Women and Marriage, Sex in Everyday Life and Unconventional Behavior.1. Field of the Invention
The present disclosure relates to electrical machines, and more particularly to liquid cooled electrical machines.
2. Description of Related Art
Electrical machines commonly have rotor and stator portions separated by a gap. Each portion generates a magnetic field, typically using windings or permanent magnets, that interact with one another as the rotor portion rotates in relation to the stator. In generator machines, mechanical energy input to the rotor portion induces a current flow in the windings suitable for use as electrical power. In motor machines, current applied to windings induces a magnetic field that generates an electromotive force that causes the rotor portion to rotate in relation to the stator portion and output mechanical energy. In both types of machines, electric current flowing through the windings


FBI: OK for Congress to Talk to Benghazi Survivors

FBI Director James Comey told senators Thursday he is not opposed to Congress speaking with the survivors of the 2012 attack on the diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya. That contradicts the Obama administration's position that such discussions would jeopardize the FBI's criminal case.

Comey's position on the politically charged issue seemed to surprise some of the senators who have unsuccessfully asked the administration for access to the survivors.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., has said he will block PresidentBarack Obama's nominees for Federal Reserve chairman and Homeland Security secretary if the administration does not give Congress access to the Benghazi survivors.

The FBI is leading the investigation into the attack that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

Comey, a former federal prosecutor who has headed the FBI for just two months, weighed in on what's become a rallying cry for conservatives. Testifying before a Senate committee on the current terror threat to the U.S., Comey said he was unaware that the administration has refused to give some members of Congress access to the survivors because of the FBI investigation.

"As the FBI director, I don't have an objection to it," Comey said. "I don't know whether the prosecutors would feel differently or if there's some other

President Trump last year announced plans for a Space Force, a new branch of the US armed forces charged with developing next-generation aerospace military technology and "space warfighting" tactics.

appropriating the X sign in order to add some cinematic cachet to its productions. Lacking legal claim over the ratings, the MPAA watched adult-video titles snap up XXX ratings, stigmatizing its own code with the taint of smut. To remedy this, NC-17 was instituted on Sept. 27 as the new notation for "content appropriate only for an adult audience." Originally marked as an X film, the movie of a love triangle between Henry and June Miller and Anaïs Nin subsequently aired on Oct. 5 with the first NC-17 marking in film history. (See a 1992 story on what was to become of the NC-17 movie rating.)

Twenty years later, the rating has largely avoided attaining a pornographic frisson. Sure, the 1995 film Showgirls (1995) was a spectacle of LasLaCroix, Sandra's father, brought suit individually and as administrator of Sandra's estate against the State of Louisiana, through the Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD).

FACTS
At the time of the accident, Sandra LaCroix was fourteen years old. Sandra, along with her brother, Charles, then age seventeen, and sister, Deborah, then age thirteen, had begun swimming in this spot *1247 only minutes before the accident. Sandra's mother, Melba LaCroix, remained on the bank with her youngest child, Darrel, while the other children swam. The structure from which Sandra dove off can best be described as a concrete culvert divided into three sections. Sandra dove from the inside of the center section of the culvert into a murky pool of water approximately four feet deep. According to Miss LaCroix's testimony at


trial, she did a shallow dive into the water and struck her head against something rendering her semiconscious. She was unsure as to what she struck. Her older brother, Charles, testified that after retreiving Sandra from the water, he went back near the culvert to discern what she had struck. He stated that he thought Sandra struck a concrete object projecting out of the sand near the culvert.
The evidence adduced at trial further established that Sandra LaCroix was 5' 4" tall and weighed approximately 225 pounds at the time of the accident. She was a good swimmer and had been taught how to dive by her mother.
Miss LaCroix's neck was broken as a result of this accident. For approximately four months after the accident, she was a quadraplegic.a popular swimming hole in Grant Parish. The evidence presented at trial substantiates this finding. It was also established at trial that there are no public swimming pools in Grant Parish which no doubt makes creeks such as the one in this case quite popular.
In the Keelen case, the plaintiff filed suit for the wrongful death of her eight year old son as a result of his drowning in a swimming pool in Fountainbleu State Park in St. Tammany Parish. The Louisiana Supreme Court, after commenting upon the intent of the legislature in enacting these *1250 immunity statutes, concluded that an injury occurring in a swimming pool was not subject to a defense of immunity under La.R.S. 9:2791 and 2795. The court found that the "legislature intended to


The company, based in Taoyuan City, supplies equipment to the companies in mainland China and Taiwan that manufacture the iPhone.

Multiplas has benefited significantly from the success of that product, said David Chang, vice general manager.

“For Multiplas, this year has been extremely good,” Chang said in an interview at the company’s booth at Taipei Plas, held Sept. 21-25.

Chang said details of the expansion are still being worked out, but the company has bought 7½ acres of land in Taoyuan — eight times larger than the land area of its current factory — and plans to move into the first phase of the new facility in early 2014.

Investment in the factory ultimately could total US$45 million, Chang said.

Connecticut ranks No. 4 in millionaires per capita after Hawaii, Maryland and New Jersey as all four states saw their number of wealthy residents rise in 2010, a new report today shows.

Connecticut ranks No. 4 in millionaires per capita after Hawaii, Maryland and New Jersey as all four states saw their number of wealthy residents increase in 2010, a new report today shows.

The number of millionaires in Connecticut increased by 8 percent in 2010 to 89,647, the report by Phoenix Marketing International said. That figure means that 6.65 percent of the state's total number of households include a millionaire.

No. 1 Hawaii has a millionaire in 6.93 percent of its households. The national average is 4.78 percent.

Phoenix, which is not affiliated with The Phoenix


Cos., defines a millionaire household as one with at least $1 million in investable assets, not including sponsored retirement plans or real estate.

The top four states have remained in the same order for the past three years. In 2007, Connecticut's peak, the state had 95,000 millionaires and was No. 3, with 7 percent of its households in that category.

"Hawaii, Maryland, New Jersey and Connecticut all share some important distinctions: They are small states with large concentrations of highly educated professionals and business owners which are key ingredients to growing wealth," said David Thompson, managing director of the Phoenix Affluent Market, whose office is in Granby.

To him, the birth certificate always was a weapon; he deployed it in a nearly 40-year campaign of racial terrorism against Virginia’s black residents—and a disturbingly successful attempt at what Coleman calls “pencil genocide” against the state’s Native American population. It was particularly powerful in his hands because he was one of the architects of Virginia’s notorious Racial Integrity Act, passed in 1924 to prevent racially mixed marriages. Enforcing the Act required the state to maintain comprehensive records of its residents’ race. The race had to be recorded on the birth certificate, and Plecker policed that record-keeping ruthlessly. The birth certificate, he believed, was

Zurich Chess Challenge Round 2

Vladimir Kramnik enjoyed the white pieces for the second day in a row at the Zurich Chess Challenge, this time taking on the world champion Vishy Anand.

With one eye on the crucial Candidates tournament in London starting in less than 3 weeks time, Kramnik once again sidestepped well-trodden paths to avoid showing his rivals any of his opening preparation.

After an early Queen exchange, the battle centred around Kramnik's isolated advanced c-pawn, until further exchanges left Anand defending against an outside passed pawn in a rook ending. The champion had no problems, and the draw was agreed just after the first time control.

.

.

The encounter between Boris Gelfand and tournament young-gun Fabiano Caruana proved to be much more entertaining! Gelfand responded to Caruana's choice of theGruenfeld with aggressive intent, pushing his h-pawn to crack open the h-file in preparation for a direct attack!

Gelfand then sacrificed a pawn to close down the diagonal of Caruana's fearsome fianchettoed bishop, in preparation for the kingside assault. But the young Italian-American was wise to the danger, immediately returning the pawn to seize back the initiative for himself.

By the time Caruana's fianchettoed bishop emerged from its incarceration the game had reached move 40 and the players shook hands on a draw.

So the deadlock has still to be broken after two completed rounds in Zurich. In round three Vishy Anand will have his first opportunity with the white pieces, against Boris Gelfand, while Vladimir Kramnik will play his first game with black, against Fabiano Caruana. The pairings in full


Though it may seem strange, Karl Marx was not always a communist. As late as 1842, when Marx was in his mid-20s, he actually said he opposed any attempt to establish a communist system. In October 1842, he became editor of the Rheinische Zeitung [the Rhineland Times], and wrote in an editorial:

The Rheinische Zeitung ... does not admit that communist ideas in their present form possess even theoretical reality, and therefore can still less desire their practical realization, or even consider it possible.

In 1843, Marx was forced to resign his editorship because of political pressure from the Prussian government and ended up moving to Paris. It was in Paris that he met his future lifelong collaborator, Friedrich Engels (who already was a socialist), and began his deeper studyAugust 27, 2019

An attorney for IBM on Wednesday challenged a medical expert's conclusion that chemicals in the workplace caused two former employees to develop cancer.

Robert Weber, a lawyer representing IBM, sought to highlight inconsistencies in the testimony of Dr. Robert Harrison, the chief of the state body that investigates workplace health issues.

Harrison had testified that he believed the ex-employees, Jim Moore and Alida Hernandez, developed cancer after being exposed to toxic solvents.

At issue in the trial is whether Hernandez and Moore became sick because of their work at the factory and whether IBM knew about their illnesses -- through tests and diagnoses performed by its medical staff -- but did not disclose to the plaintiffs the alleged link between their health problems and their


jobs. They are seeking unspecified damages.

Weber accused the plaintiffs' legal team of trying to obscure Harrison's role in their case.

In a 1999 report prepared by Harrison for Hernandez's workers' compensation case, he said she had apparently suffered "relatively minimal" exposure to toxic materials -- the same chemicals now alleged to have caused her to develop breast cancer.

"It contradicts the thrust of his testimony," Weber said in an interview after the session. "They tried to hide the fact that Harrison had written an opinion in 1999. That was a hide-the-ball trick."

Harrison said the report was based on limited information and did not offer a conclusion on whether Hernandez's cancer was caused by workplace chemicals.

He said he eventually came up with an opinion after reviewing more materials, includingconfirm to expectations of the US consumers who they support long-distance, are expected to imitate the Western employees they have replaced in terms of the use of US vernacular, even temporarily adopting an Anglo name during the call.

Graham Hancock is one of the foremost authorities on Ancient Mysteries, having written numerous bestselling non-fiction books on thesubject such as 'Fingerprints Of The Gods', 'The Sign & The Seal', 'Heavens Mirror' and 'Supernatural' and, recently, the fantasy adventure novel Entangled.

Turbowolf released their self-titled debut album in November 2011, a blend of dirty rocknroll, punked-up riffs & psychedelic noise. The band are about to embark on a European tour starting 23/2 in London. Their shared fascination with the esoteric & the mysterious lead to this meeting of minds.

In this episode Graham & the band discuss the mystery of the possible survival of death by human consciousness, the ancient Egyptian quest for the immortality of the soul, the encoding of advanced scientific information in ancient myths, some of the evidence from ancient Egypt and the Andes for the existence of a lost civilisation, and the danger, unless


we change our ways, that our own civilisation could become the next Atlantis.

February 14, 2012–Very few people live at the intersection of so much change, creativity, and controversy as Birgitta Jónsdóttir. A political activist for many important issues, including the war in Iraq, new media regulation paradigms, and internet freedom and privacy, she became an Icelandic parliament member for the Civic Movement, a political movement for democratic reform, following Iceland’s banking collapse in 2008. In 2010, Birgitta co-produced the video Collateral Murder for Wikileaks, serving briefly as their spokesperson, and was subsequently targeted as a national security concern by the Department of Justice. She was also the chief sponsor of the Icelandic Modern Media Initiative, a unanimously approved set of new laws designed to ensure total press freedom.

Ascountries around the world struggle to cope with global systemic transition, Iceland is a beacon of hope for enlightened governance. Join us with Birgitta Jónsdóttir for an in-depth discussion of internet privacy, freedom of speech, and the opportunities before Iceland today.

February 13, 2012–Futurist and researcher in non-local consciousness, Stephan Schwartz, discussed remote viewing, meditation, dreams and how changes in the Earth's geomagnetic field influence our consciousness and creativity. He credited non-local consciousness as the part of the mind that experiences intuition, facilitates remote viewing and may even be what survives after death. Marveling at the advancements of science in understanding this non-local consciousness over the last 40 years, Schwartz mused that "we are approaching a view of the world that shamanism arrived at through meticulous observation, where the


non-local consciousness. He explained that, during periods of weak solar activity when the field is calm, it becomes easier to access this aspect of the mind. In turn, he said, there is an observable increase in creative output from people which is demonstrated by surges in patents, books, and records. Should that calm extend over a lengthier period of time, Schwartz surmised, enormous change can occur. "When you see it played out across millions and millions of people, each of whom is slightly altered as a result of this, you can see how it has an effect at the social level," he said, suggesting that the Renaissance and the Enlightenment may have been fueled by this phenomenon.

During the evening, Schwartz also performed a remote viewing experiment with Georgeand the listeners. The object which he had people try and view can be seen here.

Here are two films I made at Uni in 1999 at Canterbury Christ Church University College, Kent. The Radio, Film & TV course gave me a chance to use 16mm film - which I chose over digital. It's all digital now, but I'll never regret taking the film route;there is so much more to learn -and it's hands on 'real' film.

Dan Heathcote (lead singer, guitarist) and his band kindly came down from Notts to Brighton to play a party we arranged as a "bye!" to everyone - soon myself and my wife would be going off to Oz to live.

Zadkiel managed to deafen the "douff douff" party going folk of Brighton with their magic potion of rock music that night, which I captured on camera. The following morning, hung over and tired, we went down into the basement of local Sanctuary Cafe to complete the video, with scenes captured by the ocean to finish things off.

assistance measures for low-income householders, as well as the assistance policies being used in other states.

''Work by AGL shows that the part of the market with real affordability issues is working households with children, yet they fall outside the traditional assistance framework,'' said St Vincent de Paul Society's policy and research manager, Gavin Dufty.

The privatisation of Victoria's electricity sector had helped affordability, he said, since there were a variety of packages with different offerings on electricity price and usage levels, which did not happen in NSW. In the three years since mid-2009, electricity prices have increased by up to 61 per cent in NSW; gas prices have risen by a third.

Launch of Nigeria Inequality Report

On Wednesday May 17th Oxfam International launched the Nigeria Inequality Report, which caused quite a stir in the national media.

Nigeria is seen as Africa’s largest economy and one of the fastest-growing in the world. Yet, more than half of the Nigerian population still grapples with extreme poverty, while a small elite enjoys ever-growing wealth.

The disparity is such that the amount of money that the richest Nigerian man can earn annually from his wealth is sufficient to lift two million people out of poverty for one year. The wealth of the five richest Nigerians combined could end extreme poverty altogether. And the huge economic disparity is a major factor in the conflict that affects the Northeastern states.

This report provides a picture of the

Forced anal examinations are a long-discredit 19th century science and involves doctors forcibly inserting their fingers and sometimes other objects into a person’s anus.

It attempts to find out whether a person has had anal intercourse. The General Assembly of the World Medical Association (WMA) and Human Rights Watch (HRW) called for the practice to be stopped.

The practice has been described as a form of torture by the United Nations.

Although the five men have been ordered to undergo the anal examinations, Ndongo told his clients not to turn up to the anal exams.

Cameroon is considered one of the worst places in the world for LGBT+ people as they face arrests, mob violence, assaults, torture and murder.

Physicians today experience unprecedented stress and distress, as evidenced by reports of escalating rates of burnout, dissatisfaction with life-work balance and career choice, occurrence of major depressive disorder (MDD) and substance use and misuse, and unacceptable rates of physician suicide. While efforts to ameliorate physician burnout are heartening, a major concern remains: physician depression and suicide prevention are relatively ignored, in part fueled by the fact that burnout and MDD have overlapping symptoms and clinical features. This imbalance may also reflect the ongoing stigma, even among physicians, of mental illness and its treatment. In contrast, the term burnout, which indicates a human reaction to something outside oneself, is less stigmatized, allowing it to become a catchall term for emotional distress. However, erroneously labeling a physician’s distress as burnout4 percent of the votes cast in a given ward during the previous election for alderman. In the case of the 39th Ward, that number would be 204 signatures.

However, the rules change in the election following the redistricting of ward boundaries, according to the statute.

Chicago adopted a new ward map in 2012. In these circumstances, the number of votes cast in the previous mayoral election, divided by the number of wards, is used to arrive at the signature requirement — 473 for the 2015 ballot.

Citing a number of legal precedents, the election board found that a statute must be presumed constitutional, and ruled against Hunter.

Two challengers remain on the ballot against Laurino: Robert Murphy and Joe Laiacona.

Murphy, an architect and past president of the Forest Glen Community Club,


has been an active member of the Fair Allocation in Runways Coalition, which has protested a shift in O'Hare airplane traffic.

Laiacona is a resident of Albany Park and retired educator, having taught computer programming at Columbia College for more than 20 years.

Laurino has been alderman of the 39th Ward since 1994. She was appointed to the position by Mayor Richard M. Daley to replace her father, Anthony Laurino. The elder Laurino, alderman since 1965, resigned after being indicted in a ghost payroll scheme.

In 1870, Sir Robert Hunter (later co-founder of the National Trust in 1895) and the Commons Preservation Society succeed in legal action that ensured protection of Berkhamsted Common and other open spaces threatened with enclosure.

2005, Clemson University and the College of Charleston created an M.S. degree program based in Charleston, SC.

Under the direction of Jorge Otero-Pailos, the first PhD in Historic Preservation in the United States was founded at Columbia Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation in 2018.

In Canada, the phrase "heritage preservation" is sometimes seen as a specific approach to the treatment of historic places and sites, rather than a general concept of conservation. "Conservation" is taken as the more general term,The Federal Communications Commission has finally approved the first 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) phone for sale in the US. Though the first LTE handset will be available through MetroPCS, the FCC has now opened the door for other LTE devices, including those for Verizon's in-testing LTE network.

The Samsung SCH-r900 will be the first LTE phone to market in the US, which MetroPCS hopes to launch "this summer" according to InformationWeek. We're still mostly in the dark as to where MetroPCS plans to build out its LTE network (the company said earlier this year that it was targeting a number of metro markets, but only named Las Vegas), but regardless, it looks like Sprint will soon have to share the 4G limelight.

One company that has been keeping the


world slightly more up-to-date with its LTE buildout plans is Verizon. The carrier is already testing its network in Seattle and Boston, with around 30 more markets expected by the end of the year. Those markets, according to rumors from Engadget, include a number of airports, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and Philadelphia.

Verizon apparently plans to make its first commercially available LTE devices laptop data cards, but the question many have been asking is whether Verizon's LTE rollout could hail the launch of the Verizon iPhone. In addition to rampant rumors of a possible January release, Ars has heard from someone in the know that Verizon is already testing an LTE iPhone in Boston and that the official launch is dependent upon the mass expansion of the carrier'soscillating motor engages the flexible arm through gears so that there is movement of the hair dryer without movement by the user.

Even so, the financial disaster declaration is unprecedented in Nevada, raising questions about whether North Las Vegas is overreaching at the expense of its employees and reputation.
"It makes it sound like our buildings are all on fire and they don't have water to put it out or something," said Jennifer Meyers, who moved to the city before the housing collapse so her kids could play in the street without worrying about crime.
"It doesn't sound like a place you would want to move to," she said.
Union workers, long among the highest compensated government employees in southern Nevada, claim the city won't be able to defend the emergency designation in court. The police union filed a lawsuit Friday claiming the city was misusing the law.
"Everybody in the cityis basically using all their time and all their effort to try to break the unions," said Sgt. Leonard Cardinale, president of the North Las Vegas Police Supervisors Association.
Public perception turned against the city's public safety workers after some union leaders put up billboards last year that read: "Warning: Due to recent police layoffs, we can no longer guarantee your safety!"
It isn't hard to make the case that North Las Vegas, Nevada's fourth-largest city, is in trouble.
As its population more than doubled to 223,394 in 2010 from 115,488 in 2000, the city doubled its staff, built a new park each year and, in 2009, started construction on a sparkling $130 million City Hall.
For nearly two years, the city, where residents have long paid the highest tax rate in


southern Nevada, has teetered on the edge of insolvency.
One in every 195 homes is in foreclosure, the state's highest rate. Once the nation's fastest growing city, it lost more than 3,000 businesses in three years after the recession hit in 2007. Its total revenue has plunged from $817 million in 2009 to $298 million this year.
Hundreds of municipal workers have received pink slips and still the city struggled to close a $30 million budget gap. As a final body blow, Fitch Ratings downgraded the city's bond rating last month to a "BBB" with a negative watch.
By 2013, the city will have shed more than 800 employees since the recession began.
City officials concede they are far from the urban disasters brought on by Hurricane Katrina or the Los Angelesaccounts for 66 percent of the city's budget. In all, the city expects to go from 1,000 public safety employees in 2011 to 721 in 2013. The City Council voted Wednesday night to turn its jail services over to the city of Las Vegas in a move expected to save $16 million annually.
Residents like BOB Borgersen are fed up with the unions and the council for not being able to compromise as the city continues to struggle. He blamed the council for not saving when its property tax income was flush.
"It's bad. The property values have gone down to nothing," he said. "They didn't think ahead, unfortunately."

"The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin."


Crash Duo To Do McDougal Film

Susan McDougal spent 21 months in prison on civil contempt of court charges for refusing to implicate President Bill Clinton in the real estate scandal.

Moresco will write the script and direct. Harris and Moresco, who produced "Crash," will produce the McDougal film together. They've secured rights to McDougal's story, as well as her book "The Woman Who Wouldn't Talk."

The film may be ready in time for next year - just as Hillary Clinton vies to secure the Democratic Party nomination for president. Former president Clinton nevertheless supports the film claims Moresco and Harris.

Here's a summary of today's main developments :

Egypt

• Both candidates have claimed victory in the presidential run-off. Muslim Brotherhood supporters have been celebrating in Tahrir Square after the group said Mohammed Morsi had won 51.8% with more than 99% of the more than 13,000 poll centres counted. But Ahmed Shafiq's campaign said he was ahead "beyond all doubt". His media spokesman, Ahmed Sarhan, said Shafiq had between 51.5% and 52% of the vote. Sarhan accused the Brotherhood of trying to create a "fait accompli" and of risking confrontation on the streets "when official results declare Shafiq to be the winner". Egyptian news websites Ahram Online and al-Masry al-Youm both had Morsi winning. Official final results are not due until Thursday.

• The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (Scaf)Kremlin.

• The meeting comes as the Interfax news agency reported that two Russian navy ships are completing preparations to sail to Syria with a unit of marines on a mission to protect Russian citizens and the nation's base there. AP said the deployment appears to reflect Moscow's growing concern about Syrian President Bashar Assad's future. The Interfax news agency quoted an unidentified Russian navy official as saying that the two amphibious landing vessels, Nikolai Filchenkov and Caesar Kunikov, will be heading shortly to the Syrian port of Tartus, but didn't give a precise date. The official said the ships will carry an unspecified number of marines to protect Russians in Syria and evacuate some equipment from Tartus if necessary.

• Syrian forces have shelled rebel bastions in Homs and


Damascus despite a warning by the United Nations that such bombardment amounted to crimes against humanity, AFP reports. "Shelling and shooting renewed in Homs city, with explosions heard in the Khaldiyeh neighbourhood," the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, reporting that at least 19 people were killed nationwide on Monday. UN rights chief Navi Pillay told the Human Rights Council in Geneva:

The government of Syria should immediately cease the use of heavy armaments and shelling of populated areas, as such actions amount to crimes against humanity and possible war crimes.

Kuwait

• Kuwait's emir has suspended parliament for one month, lawmakers said on Monday, ahead of the planned questioning of the interior minister by opposition members of the assembly, Gulf News reports.

At least two protests are planned in Cairotomorrow. MPs (at least Islamist ones) are preparing to convene parliament "as usual" in defiance of a ruling by the supreme constitutional court last week that it be dissolved because a third of the MPs were, it said, illegally elected. But parliament is surrounded by army troops who have orders not to let anyone in.

Additionally, the 6 April Youth Movement has called a demonstration against Scaf's grab of political powers through a new constutional declaration.

The influential Egyptian blogger Mahmoud Salem (aka Sandmonkey), who has made no bones about his opposition to both Scaf and the Muslim Brotherhood, writes that "today concludes the end of the first chapter of the Egyptian revolution".

I never bought for a second the notion that [Ahmed]Shafiq is Scaf's candidate, mainly because everyone would think


and no one has attempted to fix them, and they are getting worse by the minute.

Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have been celebrating claims of a Muslim Brotherhood victory in Egypt's presidential election, AP reports:

As the Brotherhood claimed victory early Monday in Cairo, dozens of drivers in Gaza City honked their horns and decorated their cars with Palestinian and Egyptian flags, green Hamas banners and posters of Egypt's Brotherhood candidate, Mohammed Morsi. Hamas activists distributed sweets at the main intersections across Gaza, and loudspeakers at local mosques blared out messages of joy and victory. Shopkeepers in Gaza's main commercial center eagerly followed the claim from Egypt. "The news from Egypt is a great victory for all Muslims and for us in Gaza," said Sameh Ramdan, a 23-year-old studentis to unite around a common purpose – to disband the military council, clear away the old regime, send the army back to the barracks and establish democratic institutions. To continue to declare a plague on both their houses, meaning both the military and the Brotherhood, is not just self-indulgence. It is political folly, wherever you are on the secular or religious spectrum. The revolution has to finish first, and the important – less telegenic – part begins today.

Here's a summary of today's main developments so far:

Egypt

• Muslim Brotherhood supporters have been celebrating in Tahrir Square after the group claimed victory for its candidate in the presidential election. By the Brotherhood's count, Mohammed Morsi took 13.2 million votes, or 51.8% with more than 99% of the more than


13,000 poll centres counted. It gave Morsi's opponent - Hosni Mubarak's last prime minister Ahmed Shafiq - 48.1% out of 25.5 million votes.

• But a statement from Ahmed Shafiq's campaign claimed he was ahead "beyond all doubt". Shafiq's media spokesman Ahmed Sarhan accused the Brotherhood of trying to create a "fait accompli" and of risking confrontation on the streets "when official results declare Shafiq to be the winner". But at a press conference Sarhan appeared confused suggesting Morsi had 52% of votes so far and Shafiq 51.5%.

• The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (Scaf) has denied that it is engaging in a power grab after it issued a new constitutional declaration tying the hands of the country's incoming president and cementing military authority over the post-Mubarak era.Barack Obama will press Vladimir Putin over Russia's role in the Syrian crisis when they meet at the G20 summit today, but there is little hope of Moscow agreeing to tougher UN action against the Assad regime. Suspension of the UN monitoring mission in Syria over the weekend has put added pressure on Obama and Putin to act decisively. The seriousness of the rift between Washington and Moscow on Syria was underscored last week when secretary of state Hillary Clinton accused Russia of supplying Assad with attack helicopters. The accusation drew an angry retort from the Kremlin.

• The meeting comes as the Interfax news agency reported that two Russian navy ships are completing preparations to sail to Syria with a unit of marines on a mission to protect


Russian citizens and the nation's base there. AP said the deployment appears to reflect Moscow's growing concern about Syrian President Bashar Assad's future. The Interfax news agency quoted an unidentified Russian navy official as saying that the two amphibious landing vessels, Nikolai Filchenkov and Caesar Kunikov, will be heading shortly to the Syrian port of Tartus, but didn't give a precise date. The official said the ships will carry an unspecified number of marines to protect Russians in Syria and evacuate some equipment from Tartus if necessary.

• Syrian forces have shelled rebel bastions in Homs and Damascus despite a warning by the United Nations that such bombardment amounted to crimes against humanity, AFP reports. "Shelling and shooting renewed in Homs city, with explosions heard in the Khaldiyeh neighbourhood,"the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, reporting that at least 19 people were killed nationwide on Monday. UN rights chief Navi Pillay told the Human Rights Council in Geneva:

The government of Syria should immediately cease the use of heavy armaments and shelling of populated areas, as such actions amount to crimes against humanity and possible war crimes.

Kuwait

• Kuwait's emir has suspended parliament for one month, lawmakers said on Monday, ahead of the planned questioning of the interior minister by opposition members of the assembly, Gulf News reports.

Reuters is now reporting that the campaign for Ahmed Shafiq says he is ahead "beyond all doubt" in the presidential election race.

FT correspondent Borzou Daraghi is at a press conference being given by Shafiq's media spoksman Ahmed Sarhan. Daraghi says


are spreading fake news of victory in order to be able to claim vote-rigging when Shafiq wins.

Members of Shafiq's campaign said that many governorates have not finished collating results yet.

The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces said at a press conference that the constitutional amendment/addendum granting the military a number of political powers has been blown out of proportion and even claimed it is upset about the decision to dissolve parliament, the Wall Street Journal's Charles Levinson reports.

SCAF: "We weren't happy court dissolved parliament. Election of parliament was out biggest achievement." — Charles Levinson (@levinsonc) June 18, 2012

SCAF: We have legislative powers until new parliament elected, but new president has right to veto laws we put forth. "There's a balance." — Charles Levinson (@levinsonc) June 18, 2012

SCAF: Present— Charles Levinson (@levinsonc) June 18, 2012

Ahmed Shafiq's campaign has accused the Muslim Brotherhood of "deceiving the people" by declaring victory, AP reports:

A campaign spokesman on the independent ONTV channel said counting was still going on with Shafiq slightly ahead so far.

But Ahmed Maher, co-founder of the April 6 revolutionary group congratulated Morsi on victory:

The next phase is more difficult. We must all unite against the oppressive rule of the military council.

Hamas, which grew out of the Muslim Brotherhood, has also congratulated Morsi, with a spokesman expressing the hope "that the result would lead to breaking the siege on Gaza and supporting Palestinian national issues topped by Jerusalem".

Nathan Brown, a Carnegie scholar, writes on the Arabist that Scaf's new constitutional declaration "completes the coup".

The supplementary constitutional declaration really


does complete the coup in many obvious ways – basically returning martial law (in its more original sense rather than the "state of emergency" that just expired), making the military unaccountable, and grabbing back oversight of the political system for the military just weeks before the scheduled end of military rule ... The new article 53 refers to the Scaf in its current formation. What people had forgotten about the Scaf was that it was a body that existed before February 2011, established by statute that placed the president of the republic at its head. Without this declaration, President Shafiq or Morsi would have headed the Scaf upon taking office (unless there was some change in the legislation on the Scaf's formation I was unware of over thepast year) In freezing the Scaf's current membership in place and giving it such sweeping powers, the provisions really do constitutionalise a military coup.

Ahram Online has an English translation of the addendum to the constitution announced by the Egyptian military last night that handed a whole host of powers to the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (Scaf). Here's taste:

Article 53: The incumbent Scaf members are responsible for deciding on all issues related to the armed forces including appointing its leaders and extending the terms in office of the aforesaid leaders ... Article 60 B1: If the president, the head of Scaf, the prime minister, the supreme council of the judiciary or a fifth of the constituent assembly find that the new constitution contains an article or more


which conflict with the revolution's goals and its main principles or which conflict with any principal agreed upon in all of Egypt's former constitutions, any of the aforementioned bodies may demand that the constituent assembly revises this specific article within 15 days.

The Arabist commissioned an English translation of last week's decision by Egypt's supreme constitutional court to dissolve the parliament because, it said, one third of the parliament had been elected illegally. The court said that the election law had allowed parties to compete for the one third of seats reserved for independent candidates.

Here's an extract from the document:

Political party members had the choice between two ways to run for the People's Assembly, the closed party-list system and the individual candidacy system. Independents were deprived of one ofthese ways, and their rights were limited to the portion allotted for the individual candidacy system, in which political party members also competed.

The grab of political powers by the Supreme Council for the Armed Forces might have overshadowed Egypt's presidential election but Shadi Hamid, from the Brookings Doha Centre, says the president will still have a significant role to play.

The president is not powerless - as some are saying. Still has considerable jurisdiction on domestic policy (education, health, etc). #Egypt — Shadi Hamid (@shadihamid) June 18, 2012

Yes, constitutional declarations matter but so too does democratic legitimacy. SCAF, as it turns out, doesn't have much of the latter. — Shadi Hamid (@shadihamid) June 18, 2012

President has bully pulpit, power of appointment and would be assisted by election of new


parliament w- sizable MB plurality. #Egypt — Shadi Hamid (@shadihamid) June 18, 2012

Mohammed Morsi has promised to be a president for all of Egypt, Aswat Masriya reports:

"Thanks be to God who has guided Egypt's people to the path of freedom and democracy, uniting the Egyptians to a better future," Morsi said. He promised that as president he would not "seek revenge or settle scores." He pledges to serve both those who voted for him and those who did not and also vowed to seek justice for those killed in the uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak last year ... "To all the martyrs and to their families ... I pledge to return their rights through law and in a law-abiding nation," Morsi said, speaking at the Cairo headquarters ofthe exaggerations of what Morsi will do once in power. We have a military that just executed a legal coup - priorities, people! — Manar Mohsen (@ManarMohsen) June 18, 2012

Ahram Online reports that Morsi's own party - the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), political wing of the Muslim Brotherhood - has Shafiq ahead in the capital but its man ahead overall:

Results from Cairo have yet to be announced by the governorate's presiding judge. However, FJP figures place Shafiq ahead with 56% compared to rival Morsi's 44%. The military man's win in the capital, however, still leaves him trailing the Islamist candidate by roughly 895,000 votes countrywide. If these results stand, Muslim Brotherhood contender Mursi will have won Egypt's first post-uprising elections with 51.7% of the vote, succeeding toppled


Tahrir Square this morning.

One imagines that Tahrir Square could see some gatherings of a very different nature in weeks to come, given the Supreme Council of the Armed Force's constitutional amendments, announced last night.

The Egyptian writer, Ahdaf Soueif, says, on Comment is Free, that whoever is declared the next Egyptian president will not be the person most Egyptians want.

We are a nation of 85 million. Fifty million of us have a vote. How many will have voted for this president?

As I write, it's looking as if the turnout for this round will settle at about 15%. Compare this to the 80% turnout in March 2011, when Scaf (the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces), which had been running the country since Hosni Mubarak was deposed in 2011, putare going to deliver "bread, freedom, social justice". Neither of them are going to validate the sacrifices made by the 1,200 young people murdered by the regime, the 8,000 maimed, the 16,000 court-martialled. As the weekend's spectacle unfolds, thousand of young men are in military jails, many of them on hunger strike. In the first round of presidential elections three weeks ago, fewer than five million voted for Shafiq – the old regime candidate – and also fewer than five million voted for Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood candidate. Around 12 million voted for the progressive, secular trend in the revolution – but that didn't count because that vote was divided between five candidates. The progressives had done what they do best: failed to come together and make common


cause against a known and clear enemy.

Welcome to Middle East Live. Here's a summary of the latest developments.

Egypt

• The Muslim Bortherhood has claimed victory for its candidate in the presidential election. By the group's count, Mohammed Morsi took 13.2 million votes, or 51.8% with more than 99% of the more than 13,000 poll centres counted. The Brotherhood gave Morsi's opponent - Hosni Mubarak's last prime minister Ahmed Shafiq - 48.1% out of 25.5 million votes. Shafiq's campaign challenged the result. Official final results are not due until Thursday.

• The election was overshadowed by the most blatant power grab to date by Egypt's ruling generals. A new constitutional declaration tied the hands of the country's incoming president and cemented military authority over the post-Mubarak era.The powers awarded tot helead to questions of legitimacy for Egypt's next president, whoever he is. Turnout was reported to be between 15% and 40%. Polling was extended by two hours in a bid to boost turnout. In the first round, 46% of eligible Egyptians voted.

Syria

• Barack Obama will press Vladimir Putin over Russia's role in the Syrian crisis when they meet at the G20 summit today, but there is little hope of Moscow agreeing to tougher UN action against the Assad regime.

▼ Information about student performance was obtained by analyzing the performance of twenty-three fall sections of developmental mathematics taught at a state university. The independent variables included student performance on three predictor variables: a state test, the SAT and a standardizedas to future watershed land use and conservation efforts. Subsequent management of the river is overseen by a representative from the National Park Service (NPS). The Eightmile River, which traverses the towns of East Haddam, Salem, and Lyme, Connecticut, is currently the focus of such designation. The goal of this study was to support the efforts of the Eightmile River Study Committee, and to provide a microbiological water quality baseline for future reference. Six collection sites were chosen to represent the western subwatershed of the Eightmile River. Sampling was conducted bi-weekly from June through November, 2005. Physical parameters such as conductivity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and flow rate were recorded in situ. Three replicate water samples were collected from each site in pre-sterilized Nalgene bottles, and stored on ice.

▼ Jeremiah John Rawlings, Ghanaian air force pilot and populist politician ruled Ghana for almost two decades between 1981 and September of 2000. Rawlings, who began his leadership career as a military ruler, later went on to become a democratically elected president through a successful process of political transmutation. As a revolutionary politician, John Rawlings was as charismatic, as he was controversial. This thesis critically examines historical accounts and major political events that shaped the Rawlings military and civilian administrations. Specifically, this thesis carefully tracesthe origins, settings and processes that fostered Ghana's transition from military to civilian government under Jerry Rawlings. Furthermore, the thesis assesses the views of Ghanaians residing in the North Eastern portion of the United States, regarding their perception of Jerry John Rawlings of Ghana, and his political leadership through the use of a demographic questionnaire and a survey. The survey addressed broad facets and sectors of the Rawlings military and civilian administrations. Using the responses provided by the participants of the survey as a basis, multiple conclusions were drawn from the results of the survey to determine Jerry Rawlings' contribution to Ghana's growth and development. Finally, the thesis highlights Rawlings' sociopolitical legacy to the Ghanaian people and the implications of his present political actions as a former president

▼ This research represents a comparative study of the poetry and politics of the afro voice in the literature across the Americas in the post-colonial period. The works of Aim Csaire from Martinique; Nicols Guilln from Cuba; Langston Hughes from the


United States; Luis Pals Matos from Puerto Rico and Claude McKay from Jamaica were presented as representative of la poesa negra . I documented in this study, the plurilingual nature of the afro voice in the literature and examined the way in which these prolific writers from the French-speaking, Spanish-speaking and English-speaking Americas gave context to the complex debate of race and class in their common cultural and historical experience in the post-colonial period. I demonstrated in this socio-literary investigation that although these writers were committed to societal change, their works were not just that of social protest. Indeed, these writers were also committed artists who employed newly developed literary techniques in relation to the beauty of Africaness: linguistically, musically, and culturally. They also followed some of theaesthetical innovations from the Modernism and Vanguardism movements. Poetry and politics in this literature enjoy a symbiotic relationship. I discussed this relationship as I analyzed the tone and language of the works; the political activities and philosophies of the writers; as well as the social, economic and political climate and environment which existed at the time of their writings. In so doing, some of the questions I raised included the following: Who are the afro voices? What effects did colonialism have on the development of the literature across the Americas? What were the ideological and philosophical tendencies of these writers? Did they write out of fear of the dissolution of their blackness in the changing sociopolitical environment or in celebration of it? What were the artistic tendencies of


of Charlie's mathematics instruction from March 2007 until June 2007, this record includes a transcription of these lessons with instructor's notes, Charlie's work examples, and a recommendation for Charlie's future mathematics instruction. It was determined that the Stanley model of radical acceleration seems appropriate to some degree but the testing that is prescribed by the Stanley treatment requires a level of structured behavior that is not developmentally appropriate for even the most advanced 5-year-old. Renzulli's enrichment model also has certain applicable aspects, but does not address Charlie's need to be intellectually stimulated in mathematics class every day. The strategy we have followed thus far at The Talcott Mountain Academy is a partnership between the Renzulli and the Stanley models. Having Charlie attend the eighth grade geometry class isbranch of the Eightmile River is located in Lyme, East Haddam, Salem, Colchester, and East Lyme, Connecticut. The entire Eightmile River Watershed is currently being studied in an effort to obtain designation as a National Wild and Scenic River. In order to achieve this designation, the river must demonstrate at least one ""Outstanding Resource Value"" (ORV) as defined by the National Park Service (NPS). Water quality previously determined by rapid bioassessment studies of macroinvertebrate species indicates that the West Branch of the Eightmile River would be designated as a Class A water body, providing one ORV for designation. In this study, dissolved oxygen, total suspended solids, turbidity, pH, temperature, reactive and total phosphorus, chloride, total inorganic nitrogen, and specific conductance were measured. These parameters for the West Branch


Professional Studies area in art focuses mainly on teaching pedagogy as it relates to the teaching of technical processes and formal concepts. There is a need for holistic comprehensive curriculum that draws it content from aesthetics, art, criticism and art history, as well as art production. The study focused on two major areas. First, the study dealt with a review of select literature related to the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). Second, select university teacher preparation programs were reviewed, namely Pennsylvania State University, Kutztown University and Central Connecticut State University, in order to find out what art education university models were in place. After this review, a comprehensive art education curriculum for the Professional Studies Area at Molepolole College of Education was developed. Goals foras human beings who have suffered a devastating tragedy, a people who yearn for peace and tranquility. For decades, the Palestinians have seen their lands stolen and their peaceful existence turned upside down due to the Israeli occupation. Yet, Israelis argue that Palestinians are Arabs, can live anywhere, and Palestine is their national home; and argue that Palestine is their Promised Land, Eretz Israel. Moreover, when Israel was established in 1948, and when Israel occupied the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the 1967 war, Israel uprooted, deported, and displaced, millions of Palestinians from their homes, towns, and villages. As a result, the displaced and the uprooted Palestinians became refugees living in miserable camps, run by the United Nations, stateless and without citizenship, waiting for a peaceful, just,


and comprehensive solution to return to their land of origin; Palestine. This thesis will prove that Israel is in clear breach of international humanitarian law and international human rights law. In addition, this thesis will evaluate, analyze, and refute all Israelis mentioned arguments thus proving that the domination of two powers: British Imperialism and Zionist Movement were substantially behind the tragedy of Palestinians. Therefore, the focus of this thesis will be placed on Israel's behavior as a brutal occupier, and to prove that Palestine refugees have the right – legally and morally – to return to their homes, towns, and villages as soon as possible according to the United Nations resolutions especially United Nations resolution 194. In addition, this thesis will examine the historical background of Palestine, primarilyevents that have influenced Palestinians and Palestine refugees, and expresses their catastrophe from the perspective of a Palestinian who lived under the Israeli occupation for almost 30 years who has never known a world without military government, identity cards, military checkpoints, curfews, violence, humiliation, and daily uncertainty.
