the day that he was killed, Lindsey had called Simmons to ask if Simmons could get him some more marijuana. Simmons stated that he might be able to, and he asked him if he had the money that he owed him for the marijuana he had sold him previously. Lindsey stated that he would try to get the money.
At approximately 5:00 p.m. on August 28, 1988, Simmons went to Hagood and talked with him about obtaining more marijuana for Lindsey. Ricky Martin, Hagood's brother-in-law, was with Hagood when this discussion took place. Hagood then asked Simmons about paying for the marijuana he had given him previously. Simmons offered to borrow the money, but the appellants said they would get the money out of Lindsey if they had to"whip his ass." They agreed to meet back at Simmons's house at 7:00 p.m. that same evening to talk about the "deal." After Simmons left the appellants, he called Lindsey and told him that he could probably get the marijuana he wanted and that Lindsey should call him back at about 7:00 p.m. that evening.
The appellants arrived at Simmons's house at around 7:00 p.m. that same day. Several people were at Simmons's house when the appellants arrived, so they went outside to talk about the deal. They told Simmons that they had the marijuana. Simmons called Lindsey and told him to meet them behind the Jet Mart convenience store on Highway 31 between Decatur and Hartselle. The three left Simmons's home, Simmons driving his own car and the


took Lindsey to where he had left the appellants. The appellants asked Simmons whether the victim had the money he owed. Simmons replied that he did. The appellants told Simmons that the marijuana was in the trunk of the car. They opened the trunk, and Hagood began fumbling for something in the trunk. He told them that could not find the marijuana. Martin then got inside the car and said that he could not find it in the car either. Simmons walked back to his car to get a cigarette. He heard Lindsey say, "Oh, shit." When he went over to the car that the appellants were driving, he saw the victim lying face up on the ground, making gurgling noises.
The appellants then asked Simmons where the moneywas. Simmons got the money from the victim and gave it to Martin. Martin handed the money to Hagood. The appellants asked Simmons to help them drag the body away from the car, but he refused. Hagood gave Simmons 150.00 and told him to keep his mouth shut. Simmons, fearing for his life, took the money and went home. He told his wife what had happened.
Meanwhile, Clements was waiting for Lindsey to return to his car. When Lindsey didn't return, Clements called Michael Short, who has been with them earlier in the evening. When Short arrived, he looked for Lindsey, but could not find him. Short then left and started to drive home down a gravel road when he saw a body. It was Lindsey. Short went back


to the Jet Mart parking lot where Clements has stayed and they both called the police.
Hagood testified at trial that he went with Simmons and Martin to the area behind the Jet Mart. He said that Martin worked on his car after Simmons left to get Lindsey. This was at approximately 8:30 p.m. When Simmons returned with Lindsey, Simmons and Lindsey approached Martin's car. He testified that Martin and Lindsey started arguing and that Lindsey attacked Hagood with a piece of pipe. Hagood stated that he pulled out a pocketknife and accidentally, in self-defense, stabbed Lindsey in the back and then twice in the chest. There were several inconsistencies in his testimony.
Hagood was arrested the day after the incident. In his possession were two $100 bills and threetrial talking to a group of jurors outside the restroom on the third day of trial. She stated that he appeared to be close to a group of jurors. Martin stated during this hearing that the officer had told him that he had talked with the jurors. The officer was questioned concerning this statement and stated that he had talked with no jurors except the alternate juror and that *533 was after the alternate had been discharged from the case. He stated that the district attorney and one of Martin's attorney's were present when this conversation with the dismissed alternate juror took place. The bailiff in charge of the jury testified that he saw no one approach the jurors during the course of the trial and that he


while they were both in a holding cell waiting to see a doctor on August 31, 1988. Wiggins said that after the appellant stated talking he joined the discussion and discovered why Hagood had been arrested. Wiggins testified that Hagood had said at that time, "The motherfucker thought he was a bad ass," and "The deal went bad." Hagood further stated that when they were swapping the money for the drugs, Hagood attacked Lindsey with a knife and Lindsey picked up a pipe and swung at him and knocked the knife from his hand. Hagood grabbed Lindsey and held him while Martin struck Lindsey with a knife. The appellants then put something in the trunk and left the scene. Hagood also stated at that time that the knifehe used was from the collection of knives taken from his residence.
Wiggins also testified that he was offered no reward to elicit any statement from Hagood. He had sent a letter to Officer Goodwin, who was investigating the case, after he was in the holding cell *535 with Hagood and Hagood had made the above statements. He testified that after the letter was sent Goodwin asked him to wear a wire and go back into a cell with Hagood. Goodwin stated that he had no contact with Wiggins prior to his receiving the letter. It was after he received the letter that he asked Wiggins to wear a wire. The tape of this later conversation between Wiggins and Hagood was inaudible. Wiggins stated on five or six occasions


Sabarimala temple: India court to review ruling on women's entry Published duration 14 November 2019

image copyright Kaviyoor Santhosh image caption Sabarimala is one of the most prominent Hindu temples in the country

India's Supreme Court has agreed to review its landmark judgement allowing women of menstruating age to enter a controversial Hindu shrine.

A five-judge bench last year ruled that keeping women out of the Sabarimala shrine in the southern state of Kerala was discriminatory.

The verdict led to massive protests in the state.

Women who tried to enter the shrine were either sent back or, in some cases, even assaulted.

The move is likely to anger women who fought hard to win the right to enter the temple.

Hinduism regards menstruating women as unclean and bars them from participating in religious rituals.

Many templesand that the ban was a form of "untouchability".

It was seen as a hugely progressive ruling and had given hope to women that they were equal before the law and could now claim equality before the gods too. What happened in court today has taken that sense away.

The Supreme Court has not put its earlier order on hold, but with the ambiguity over women's entry continuing, it's very likely they could be kept out in the name of keeping peace.

With the case now to be reopened by a larger seven-judge bench, the fight will have to be fought all over again.

Why is the temple so controversial?

Part of the violent opposition to the Supreme Court order to reverse the temple's historical ban on women was because protesters felt the


ruling goes against the wishes of the deity, Lord Ayappa, himself.

While most Hindu temples allow women to enter as long as they are not menstruating, the Sabarimala temple is unusual in that it was one of the few that did not allow women in a broad age group to enter at all.

Hindu devotees say that the ban on women entering Sabarimala is not about menstruation alone - it is also in keeping with the wish of the deity who is believed to have laid down clear rules about the pilgrimage to seek his blessings.

Every year, millions of male devotees trek up a steep hill, often barefoot, to visit the shrine. They alsoa state-wide shutdown after, and businesses and transportation became paralysed.

Across the state hundreds were arrested, and at least one person was killed in clashes.

In an interview with the BBC, the women said they felt it necessary to uphold women's rights and they weren't afraid of mobs "enraged" by their actions.

media caption One of the women who defied protesters to enter the Sabarimala temple says she has 'no fear'

"I am not afraid. But every time women make any progress, society has always made a lot of noise," Ms Kanakadurga told the BBC in January.

But their decision to enter the temple also came at heavy personal cost.

On our journey through southeast Asia our first stop is Indonesia. The tiny island of Bali in Indonesia is also known as the island of gods and it is a cultural paradise with its ancient Hindu temples and Bio diverse flora and fauna with volcanoes, pristine white sand beaches and the coral reefs.

The white sand beaches of the Coral Triangle

Since 1980s Bali has moved from an economy based on agriculture to one which is based on tourism. Now more than 80% of the regions revenues are generated by tourism. Since the turn of Millennium the cultural tourism of Bali is now turned into mass tourism.

In reality the rural population of Bali still lives in abject poverty.

Andrew Bird

Andrew Bird (born July 11, 1973) is an American musician. He was born in Lake Bluff, Illinois and resides in the Chicago area. Bird is a singer, a violinist and, since 2004, a guitarist. He is also an accomplished whistler. His early work, which echoed gypsy jazz and traditional folk, has led into his current sound, which mixes rock with more broad compositions. His years of solo song-craft have now enabled him to produce a sound that is uniquely his own. Trained by the Suzuki method from a young age and a graduate of Illinois' Northwestern University, Bird released his first solo album, Music of Hair, in 1996. Vastly different from his later releases, this first album showcases his violin skills and pays tribute to his fascinationwith both American and European folk traditions, as well as jazz and blues. His initial commercial exposure was in collaborative work with the band Squirrel Nut Zippers. He was quickly lumped in with the swing craze that swept the United States music industry in the mid '90s; this is an affiliation that he is still working to shed. Taking on the role of band leader in 1997 with Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire, he released the album Thrills. This was followed by Oh! The Grandeur in 1998. Both albums were heavily influenced by traditional folk, pre-war jazz and swing, with Bird relying on the violin as his primary musical instrument. In 2001, Bird released The Swimming Hour, his third release with the Bowl of Fire and a dramatic


departure from previous recordings. The Swimming Hour featured a mixture of styles, from the zydeco-influenced "Core and Rind" to more straightforward rock songs. He has often referred to this record as his "jukebox album". The Bowl of Fire unofficially disbanded some time in 2003, having featured many skilled Chicago musicians including Kevin O'Donnell, Nora O'Connor, Andy Hopkins (aka Mr. Rudy Day), Jimmy Sutton, Colin Bunn and Ryan Hembrey. Bird then released two subsequent solo albums, both distributed through the label operated by Ani DiFranco, Righteous Babe Records. The two records, 2003's Weather Systems and 2005's The Mysterious Production of Eggs, continue a progression towards an eclectic indie folk sound that has proven challenging to classify. Bird's live solo shows have been notable in that he uses a multi-tracksystem to sample and loop his own performance. For example, he may record a snippet of his performance on violin, then play a "loop" of that sound. This provides a more full-bodied sound and aurally suggests a band performance, rather than the sound of a solo artist. Bird's next full-length album Armchair Apocrypha (Fat Possum) was released on March 20th 2007. November 2007 saw the Soldier On EP originally a European tour-only release. But due to high demand and unanticipated critical acclaim was released digitally and in CD-format on both sides of the Atlantic. Critics and fans alike have hearkened to the EP's first track, "The Trees Were Mistaken", a complex yet austere looping composition that marks a departure from Bird's earlier body of work. It also contains


a cover of Bob Dylan's "Oh Sister". January 2009 saw Noble Beast, also available with instrumental album Useless Creatures, released worldwide to positive reviews. The Fatal Shore Songfacts reports that Break it Yourself, Bird's sixth solo studio album, was released on March 6, 2012 through Mom+Pop records in the US and Bella Union in the UK. The origins of the LP lie in a couple of jam sessions by a gathering of Bird's friends in the singer's western Illinois barn, near the banks of the Mississippi River.Koulibaly's motion was frivolous and made in bad faith.   The court relied on evidence showing that Koulibaly had no history of mental illness and had boasted that he could manipulate the date of his trial to secure a more lenient federal judge by feigning mental illness.

3
Apart from Koulibaly's own assertions that he was suffering from hallucinations and could not sleep, the only other support for his claim of mental incompetence comes from the testimony of Doug Bowen, the prison psychiatric social worker.   On July 25, 1990 (just one week prior to trial), Koulibaly asked to see a psychiatrist.   He was sent to Doug Bowen for a screening evaluation.   Bowen met with him four times before trial.  (July 25, 27,


28 and 30).   During their conversations, Bowen observed that Koulibaly had "flattened affect" and "pressured speech."   Koulibaly would mispronounce words, stare blankly, act frightened and wander off onto other subjects while they talked.   Bowen noted that Koulibaly was lucid "most of the time," but was preoccupied with his attorney's purported inadequacies.

4
Bowen had Koulibaly transferred to the prison psychiatric ward and, because he admitted considering self-destructive acts, placed him on suicide "safety status."   A suicide had occurred in the prison shortly before Koulibaly's request to see a psychiatrist.   Bowen admitted that, as a result, prison personnel were treating prisoners with heightened caution.   At the competency hearing Bowen testified that he did not know that Koulibaly had boasted"mental health scam."

6
According to Agent Madinger, the final witness to testify at the hearing, Koulibaly's pre-trial demeanor changed measurably when Judge Conti was present in the courtroom.   When Judge Conti was gone from the courtroom, Koulibaly would gesture, smile, use facial expressions and speak animatedly.   When Judge Conti was present in the courtroom Koulibaly adopted a rigid, frozen, nonresponsive demeanor.

7
Koulibaly has no history of mental illness.   From his initial appearance before the court on February 25, 1990, until late July (shortly before trial), Koulibaly appeared normal, communicative, lucid and well equipped to assist in his own defense.   During two ex parte, in camera proceedings, he debated with Magistrate Conklin the wisdom of trial strategy decisions made by his assigned counsel.

Rick Ross may never perform in Detroit after the experience he reportedly had Saturday night at Chene Park that involved threats from 100 people.

(Associated Press)

SUNDAY AFTERNOON UPDATE: Detroit Police Sgt. Eren Stephens told MLive.com she is unaware of any arrests that took place in or outside Chene Park on Saturday night that were involved with the scheduled Rick Ross concert.

A spokesman for a company that works with the city-owned Chene Park said the venue did all it could to ensure safety inside it during the show.

DETROIT, MI -- Miami-based rapper Rick Ross says he's "War Ready" in a song with Young Jeezy, but reportedly wasn't prepared for what he faced Saturday night outside Detroit's Chene Park.

Ross decided not to perform at Detroit radio station Hot 107.5FM's Summer Jamz 17 concert at the venue because he was reportedly "in fear of his life" after 100 individuals threatened him that night as his camp pulled into the venue.

Jay Hicks, Hot 107.5 FM's program director, told the news to the crowd inside Chene Park during a concert that was expected to also have performances from B.o.B., A$AP Ferg, Rico Love, Sevyn Streeter, Scarface and more.

Then Hicks told fans the show was over.

Video of Hicks' comments that claim "100 individuals" were threatening Ross was posted Sunday on the station's Facebook page and website.

Peer review of active substances
Since 2003, EFSA has been responsible for the EU peer review of active substances used in plant protection products. This task is carried out by EFSA’s Pesticides Unit following procedures set out in the legislation and the latest scientific standards and methods. EFSA conducts its work in close collaboration with scientific experts from the Member States.
In general, active substances are evaluated through a phased approach:

An application for approval of an active substance is submitted by the producer of the active substance to a designated rapporteur Member State (RMS), together with a dossier.

EFSA is also responsible for the EU peer review of applications for renewal of the approval of active substances. Active substances are generally approved for a period of 10 years, aftercollected in the European Union in 2014 were found to be free of pesticide residues or to contain traces that fall within legally permitted levels. The figure is derived from 83,000 samples collected from the 28 EU Member States – including, for the first time, Croatia – as well as Iceland and Norway.

It was confirmed earlier this week that Lana Wachowski is writing and directing the new Matrix 4, a follow-up which will star both Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss.

Both Reeves and Moss will return to the franchise in their iconic roles as Neo and Trinity and Wachowski, who created the original film with her sister Lily, will co-write the screenplay with Aleksander Hemon and David Mitchell. After years of speculation that the Wachowski’s were on board to return to the Matrix, no explanation has been made as to why Lana will approach the new film without her sister.

Rail line stirs bad memories

In '50s, an interstate split neighborhood

by Patrick Condon - Apr. 18, 2010 12:00 AMAssociated Press

ST. PAUL, Minn. - When the Rev. George Davis learned the government was coming to take his family's home to make room for a shiny new interstate, he told his loved ones he'd defend 304 Rondo Avenue with a shotgun.

But Davis was old, about 80, and his wife Bertha was blind by then. When the police came one day in 1956, he went quietly. And soon Rondo - St. Paul's only Black neighborhood - was torn in two, dozens of homes and businesses leveled.

Historically, major public-works projects often uproot Black and other minority neighborhoods the hardest, leaving communities decimated and longtime residents with little or no compensation. Now, just asproperty values that could force longtime, low-income residents out of their homes.

Some of the critics have filed a federal lawsuit, fighting for a piece of the promised prosperity. They're seeking an emergency fund to help businesses weather construction and tax incentives and housing policies that protect current residents against new development.

The NAACP is the lead plaintiff in that lawsuit, and for Khaliq the fight is personal: The Rev. Davis was his grandfather, and Khaliq grew up in the house that was lost to Interstate 94.

Davis arrived in St. Paul from Texas decades earlier, one of the millions of Blacks who migrated from south to north in the early 20th Century. For those that made it as far north as St. Paul, they were drawn by jobs in the

Now Bell is the man pushing the light rail project. He heads the Metropolitan Council, the lead defendant in the lawsuit, and insists the project has "more pluses than minuses." He said it's becoming nearly impossible to gain momentum on major public works projects as interest groups threaten lawsuits to get expensive concessions.

HONG KONG (Reuters) - Hong Kong’s leading Catholic cleric said on Wednesday that he feared continued suppression of Catholics in mainland China despite a landmark accord struck last month between the Vatican and Beijing’s Communist Party leadership.

Michael Yeung, the Bishop of Hong Kong, said it would take time to address issues beyond the appointment of bishops agreed in the accord. These included the release of detained clerics and full free expression of religious belief in China.

The details of the provisional agreement, which gives the Vatican its long-desired approval of the appointment of bishops in China, have not been made public by either side.

Yeung, whose Hong Kong dioceseon the mainland, some of whom are elderly and held for decades.

A Reuters report on Sunday cited three sources familiar with the matter who said the plight of the detained clergy remains unresolved and Beijing has provided little clear information about their fate.

Yeung said many Hong Kong Catholics had been praying for one of the longest held, Bishop James Su Zhimin, who was arrested in 1997 in Hebei province and would now be 86 years old.

“Whether he is in prison, or kept secret in some other place, or whether he has already died, nobody really knows,” he said.

Su was part of the underground church, which has been loyal to the Pope for decades - a movement that some critics of the accord fear will be crushed by the


state-backed official church that has at times previously chosen its own bishops.

The deal allows for the Pope to approve bishops first selected by church communities and the Chinese authorities, meaning China’s 12 million Catholics split between the two camps must now effectively integrate.

Despite his concerns, Yeung said he supported the deal, saying that after years of trouble and talks it was vital to agree on something and move forward.

The soft-spoken Shanghai-born cleric, who took office in August last year, said he and his Hong Kong flock ultimately had to put their trust in God and the Pope.

Yeung said he had advised Pope Francis to strike a deal during an audience at the Vatican in August, but had also stressed the need for caution.

There are a dozen charming cities on the edge of Cooperstown, New York, where a suitable adjunct to the National Baseball Hall of Fame could be built.

There’s Pittsfield, Roseboom, Little Falls, and Seward (as in sewer).

This new satellite of baseball’s shrine – let’s call it the Fall of Fame* – would house all of the baseball players whom we remember as being fantastic players and athletes but who submitted to a base urge that took the shine off their career.

It will require a large building.

The results of the latest Hall of Fame balloting by members of the Baseball Writer’s Assn. of America (BBWAA) will be announced Tuesday and the betting line says Goose Gossage gets a plaque and Bert Blyleven, Jim Rice and Tim Raines are in thehis teams more often than not. He played on some miserable teams, too, like the early ’80s Indians.

Tim Raines. The top first-year candidate ranks fifth all-time in steals with 808, played 23 seasons with a .294 career average and .385 on-base percentage, and has the highest percentage of successful steals (.857) of anyone with 300 or more steals in his career. The fact that steals has been devalued as a statistic of late works against him, as does the fact he played most of his career for the Expos and White Sox.

Allen Trammell. The Tigers’ solid shortstop hit .285 in his career. He hit 185 home runs, 10th all-time among shortstops, had 1,003 RBI, eighth all-time, and won four Gold Gloves. His numbers compare favorably to Hall of

The Problem and Promise of Leisure in the Great Depression

By Susan Currell

Publication Year: 2010

In The March of Spare Time, Susan Currell explores how and why leisure became an object of such intense interest, concern, and surveillance during the Great Depression. As Americans experienced record high levels of unemployment, leisure was thought by reformers, policy makers, social scientists, physicians, labor unions, and even artists to be both a cause of and a solution to society's most entrenched ills. Of all the problems that faced America in the 1930s, only leisure seemed to offer a panacea for the rest.

The problem centered on divided opinions over what constituted proper versus improper use of leisure time. On the one hand, sociologists and reformers excoriated as improper such leisure


activities as gambling, loafing, and drinking. On the other, the Works Progress Administration and the newly professionalized recreation experts promoted proper leisure activities such as reading, sports, and arts and crafts. Such attention gave rise to new ideas about how Americans should spend their free time to better themselves and their nation.

These ideas were propagated in social science publications and proliferated into the wider cultural sphere. Films, fiction, and radio also engaged with new ideas about leisure, more extensively than has previously been recognized. In examining this wide spectrum of opinion, Currell offers the first full-scale account of the fears and hopes surrounding leisure in the 1930s, one that will be an important addition to the cultural history of the period.

"With the early orbital observations at Mercury we are already seeing the beginnings of such advancements. The extended mission guarantees that the best is indeed 'yet to be' on the MESSENGER mission, as this old-world Mercury, seen in a very new light, continues to give up its secrets."Mourners have been filing past the body of Evangelical preacher Billy Graham in the US Capitol Rotunda, an honour rarely afforded to those not connected to the US government or military.

Graham died last week at the age of 99 and was buried on Friday in North Carolina at a ceremony attended by President Trump.

His preaching was welcomed by DC's powerful and he used his position as "America's Pastor" to advocate for war against those whom he felt were the US's enemies.

Later in life, Graham expressed regret at having been a political figure. But he opened the way for the current ascendance of Christian fundamentalism in Washington, DC, from the White House to Capitol Hill.

The legacy of his speeches and stances on political and social remains debated today.

The low end of the range has typically correlated with the end of long bull move in the precious metals and the start of bear market. Similarly, the high end of the range has correlated with the end of bear market in precious metals and the beginning of a long bull move. On the assumption that this historical relationship holds, the bull market in precious metals that started in 2001 is still in force. Furthermore, after spiking up to 70 during 2013, the GSR appears to be headed lower and is thereby forecasting a big move higher for gold and an even bigger move up for silver.

Police make global arrests of suspected webcam hackers

AMSTERDAM (AP) — European law enforcement agencies say they have helped coordinate raids in 16 countries that led to 97 arrests of people suspected of developing, distributing or using criminal software known as “BlackShades.”

The malware allows users to gain control of targets’ computers and record personal information, including intercepting keystrokes and hijacking webcams to record their owners secretly. It also enables users to encrypt the information on target computers and then demand a ransom in exchange for releasing it.

Coordination agencies Europol and Eurojust, based in The Hague, Netherlands, said Monday national police in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, Britain, Finland, Austria, Estonia, Denmark, Italy, Croatia, the United States, Canada, Chile, Switzerland and Moldova carried out 359 raids in all.


provides for "medical arbitration."    The employer and the union jointly select a third physician whose opinion as to the employee's condition will be final and binding.

Jesus Zuniga was first employed by United Can Company on June 4, 1962.  At the time he was hired, Zuniga joined Local 768 of the Driver-Salesmen, Produce Workers, and Helpers.

9
During May and September 1981, United Can Company received separate reports from two physicians stating that Zuniga's employment duties should be restricted to jobs classified as "light duty" since Zuniga was experiencing physical difficulties arising out of a work-related injury to his left arm.  In October and November 1981, Zuniga was reassigned to "light duty" jobs from the more physically demanding jobs he had previously performed.

10
On January 4, 1982,Zuniga presented United Can Company with a report from his own physician stating the Zuniga was suffering "total temporary disability."    This medical conclusion conflicted with the two physicians' reports previously received by United Can Company.  Zuniga did not work at the company from January 4 to September 27, 1982.

11
On January 11, 1982, Zuniga filed the required forms with United Can Company requesting that he be allowed sick leave benefits under the provisions of the collective bargaining agreement and discussed his claim with both the plant personnel manager and the Secretary-Treasurer of Local 768.  At trial, the testimony was conflicting with respect to the substance of information provided to Zuniga and the processing of his claim by representatives of both the company and the


local union.  For example, Zuniga testified that the personnel manager merely stated that the company would not accept his physician's conclusion of "total temporary disability" and that Zuniga would have to return to his assigned light duty job.  The personnel manager, however, testified that Zuniga was informed on January 11, 1982, of three options:  (a) return to his light duty assignment;  (b) resolve the dispute in the physicians' reports through medical arbitration;  or (c) remain on an unpaid leave of absence.

12
In April 1982, United Can Company directed Zuniga to be examined by a physician at Stanford University.  Zuniga was so examined, and that physician reported that Zuniga was physically capable of performing specific light duty work.

13
In mid-June 1982, Zuniga met with theSecretary-Treasurer of Local 768.  Zuniga testified that this was the first time he was informed by the union representative that another doctor might become involved and that, if the company wanted to send Zuniga to a "third doctor," then the decision of that doctor would be final.

14
On September 1, 1982, Zuniga again met with the plant personnel manager and the Secretary-Treasurer of Local 768.  The personnel manager indicated that, since it appeared Zuniga could perform no work for the company, United Can would refer Zuniga to a vocational rehabilitation program.  However, the personnel manager offered Zuniga the option to be examined again by the physician at Stanford, stating that the company would allow Zuniga to return to work if he was released for work by


that physician.  Zuniga agreed to submit to another examination by the Stanford physician.  On September 22, 1982, Zuniga was again examined and the physician released Zuniga for "heavy duty" work effective September 27, 1982.

15
On September 27, 1982, Zuniga returned to work for United Can Company at a job within the heavy duty work classification.  Zuniga was able to perform this job without pain by using his right hand for heavy work.

16
A short time after returning to work, Zuniga learned that he could seek to recover sick leave pay for the period from January 4, 1982, until September 27, 1982, by using the grievance procedure in the agreement.  With the assistance of his daughter and a union shop steward, Zuniga prepared and lodged his grievance. United Can denied the grievance on November 10, 1982, on the grounds that Zuniga had conflicting medical reports, had rejected the offer to return to light duty work, had rejected medical arbitration, and had therefore elected to remain on an unpaid leave of absence.

17
By letter dated November 29, 1982, Zuniga informed his union representative that he had received the company's denial of his grievance, had never refused light work, and had never been offered medical arbitration.  After receiving no response from the union, Zuniga personally contacted the Secretary-Treasurer at the union hall on December 17, 1982.  Zuniga testified at trial that when he asked his union representative why he had not responded to his letter, the representative said that he was tired of the matter


and would do nothing more.

18
On January 28, 1983, Zuniga's attorney wrote a letter to the union requesting further action on the grievance.  On February 14, 1983, the union moved the grievance to the next step.

19
The merger of Locals 768 and 588 in April 1983, delayed action on Zuniga's grievance.  In the transition, records of the grievance were apparently lost.  Local 588 asked United Can to provide the union with all medical records prior to proceeding with the next step of the grievance procedure. The company responded by letter to Local 588, confirmed its prior agreement with Local 768 that Zuniga's grievance would proceed to the next step, restated its position that Zuniga was not entitled to benefits since he had declined medical arbitration, and raiseda timeliness defense to further processing of the grievance, but agreed to participate in the next step.

20
On July 13, 1983, the next step meeting on Zuniga's grievance was held.  On July 15, 1983, Local 588 advised Zuniga that the union had offered the option of medical arbitration but had not pursued it because the union perceived that it could jeopardize Zuniga's pending workers' compensation case.  By letter dated July 15, 1983, the Secretary-Treasurer of Local 588 also advised Zuniga that the local union would pursue Zuniga's grievance no further.

21
On October 7, 1983, Zuniga's attorney appealed the decision to the Executive Board of Local 588.  On November 10, 1983, the Executive Board held its regular meeting.  At this meeting Zuniga was able to explain the


substance of his grievance and his desire that the union proceed with the grievance.  By letter dated December 5, 1983, the President of Local 588 notified Zuniga that the Executive Board had denied his appeal.

22
The By-Laws of Local 588 at Article XVII readopts as the Local's Constitution the Constitution of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers.  The International Constitution provides that aggrieved members shall exhaust all remedies afforded in such Constitution and by the International Union before applying to the courts for relief.  Article XIX, Section 12(a).  The International Constitution further provides that persons aggrieved by the decision of the Executive Board of a local union may appeal to the Executive Board of the Joint Council.  Article XIX, Sections 2(a)to him, the jury viewed a video tape presentation of various jobs at the plant and concluded that plaintiff was "incapacitated and unable to perform available work" under the terms of the agreement.  Plaintiff testified concerning the problems and incapacities caused by the injury to his left arm and described in general terms the reasons for his inability to perform the tasks associated with the positions of seamer operator and end packer.  In addition, the medical reports of Dr. McIvar and Dr. Hanberry, taken together with plaintiff's own testimony, give rise to conflicting inferences concerning plaintiff's ability to perform the available jobs offered to him at the plant.  Accordingly, the several motions for a directed verdict and judgment notwithstanding the verdict were properly denied.

 The trial judge's November 7, 1984, ruling on defendants' motions for directed verdict was as follows:
The Court:  The jury is not present.  With respect to the union's motion for directed verdict, as was indicated, the factor in Clayton to guide the trial court in deciding whether to require exhaustion is whether exhaustion would unreasonably delay the employee's opportunity to receive a fair hearing on the merits.

Kelp forest

Kelp forests are underwater areas with a high density of kelp, which covers about 25% of the world's coastlines. They are recognized as one of the most productive and dynamic ecosystems on Earth.   Smaller areas of anchored kelp are called kelp beds.

Kelp forests occur worldwide throughout temperate and polar coastal oceans. In 2007, kelp forests were also discovered in tropical waters near Ecuador.

Physically formed by brown macroalgae, kelp forests provide a unique habitat for marine organisms and are a source for understanding many ecological processes. Over the last century, they have been the focus of extensive research, particularly in trophic ecology, and continue to provoke important ideas that are relevant beyond this unique ecosystem. For example, kelp forests can influence coastal oceanographic patterns and provideand summer) and die-backs correspond to reduced nutrient availability, shorter photoperiods, and increased storm frequency.

Kelps are primarily associated with temperate and arctic waters worldwide. Of the more dominant genera, Laminaria is mainly associated with both sides of the Atlantic Ocean and the coasts of China and Japan; Ecklonia is found in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa; and Macrocystis occurs throughout the northeastern and southeastern Pacific Ocean, Southern Ocean archipelagos, and in patches around Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. The region with the greatest diversity of kelps (>20 species) is the northeastern Pacific, from north of San Francisco, California, to the Aleutian Islands, Alaska.

Although kelp forests are unknown in tropical surface waters, a few species of Laminaria have been known to occur exclusively in tropical deep waters.

The Oakland Green Party held a public forum Friday evening at Humanist Hall in downtown Oakland, where members of other political parties as well as members of the public were invited to brainstorm ideas for Oakland’s future and form an alliance before the next city government election.

The Green Party panel was comprised of four Oakland Green candidates, including Don Macleay (who is running for City Council for District 1), Randy Menjivar (running for District 7), Theresa Anderson (running for the councilmember at large position), and Vicente Cruz (who is running for the Oakland school board seat for District 3). Macleay said the party proposed an Oakland Progressive Alliance based on ethics, and the understanding that the members would not accept funding from corporate donors. Speakers from other platformsincluded former mayoral candidate Terence Candell and Sean Sullivan (who are both running for the District 3 city council position), and Richard Fuentes (Oakland school board candidate for District 3).

Laura Wells, the California Green Party’s gubernatorial candidate, who also ran against Governor Jerry Brown in the last election, was one of the speakers at the forum. Wells said she was thrilled that an alliance was forming between local candidates. “We need people to run and win at the local level,” she said.

The guest speakers and candidates touched on various subjects during the discussion, including police violence and biases against minority communities such as African Americans and Hispanics, corporate funding for elections, and the involvement of the community in local politics.

Balusters and Bureaucrats

Having purchased an old house, a friend of mine, John, was informed that the house had a number of code violations. Specifically, the railing on the porch, at only twenty-one inches, fell considerably short of the city's required forty-two. This is a safety issue, he was told. Apparently, in 1901, when the house was built, children were only half the size that they are now -- or perhaps twice as aware of their surroundings. In any case, he was going to have to replace the porch railings. So he did. He found a carpenter, who lathed out new balusters in the same style, which was expensive. John could have purchased ready-made uprights, but it was important to him to keep the porch looking as it had.It was while the balusters were being installed that the trouble started.

The trouble arrived in the form of Joyce, a representative of the Historic Preservation Society. She had noticed that the old balusters had been removed from the porch and was, she said, surprised that her office hadn't been informed. John didn't see why he should have to inform anybody that he was bringing his home up to code, and he told her so. John isn't entirely diplomatic. One might characterize his attitude as dismissive, but since he really did want Joyce to go away, such an attitude seemed appropriate. It did not seem so to Joyce, who didn't care to be casually rebuffed in her efforts. She began to make her case. The house, as I said,


was built in 1901. Up until the year 2000, the previous owners could have done anything they wanted to it, including improving the porch to meet code requirements. But in the year 2001, the house turned 100 years old. The Historic Preservation Society took an interest, and voilà: here was Joyce, trying to exert some authority over John's property. While Joyce recognized that the porch was not up to code, her only solution was to replace the balusters in their original style and height and add an additional railing at the prescribed level. John declined this suggestion. The carpenter, who had stopped in his work and was listening to this exchange, was informed that he should continue, and Joyce was informed that the code enforcement officer would beon site the following week to certify that the dangerous porch railing had been replaced. John invited Joyce to meet with him then, although the nature of the invitation left no room for doubt that her presence was not eagerly anticipated. When Roger, the code enforcement officer, arrived the following Tuesday, it became clear that Joyce had been lurking nearby, for she arrived hard on his heels. She again stated her case, which John had already heard and rejected and which was of no interest to Roger whatsoever. After measuring the height of the railing, Roger was ready to sign off on the improvements. Joyce persisted. Roger still did not care and explained that his concern was simply certifying the improvements. John then inquired as to the repercussions

After 50 years of playing country, rock, rockabilly, bluegrass and blues, guitarist Albert Lee has pretty much given up on labels.

All those types of music have similar origins, he said during a recent interview on the phone from his home in the Los Angeles area.

"I guess it's rockabilly that I'm known best for, and I feel like I'm happiest playing country-rock, but it's all just music, and I enjoy it all," he said.

Lee's had a busy year so far.

The British-born guitarist and singer saw the release of his latest CD, Like This (with his band Hogan's Heroes) and played an accompanying European tour. There was the publication of his biography, Country Boy, by Derek Watts. He


also broke his arm in Paris and had to spend almost five weeks away from the guitar. Next month, he and his band will take off for Europe again.

But Lee will find the time to play a one-off gig in Tucson this week. He'll team up with Tucson-based guitarist and singer-songwriter Mark Insley, an old friend, to play Saturday, Oct. 18, at Vaudeville.

It won't be the first time Lee has played with Insley.

"I've known Mark for 10 years now, I guess, from back when he was living here in L.A. I used to play a lot of local nightclub gigs--I still do, though not as often--and Mark would come down, and he would sit in. We'd work up some songs and get it going. Since then, I've playedpopular music.

Born in 1943 in a small town in Herefordshire, England, Lee grew up in London, listening to a wide variety of American records, including the work of Little Richard, Buddy Holly, Bill Monroe and B.B. King. He played in the 1960s with British band Chris Farlowe and the Thunderbirds, and the group Heads Hands and Feet before moving to the United States in 1974.

He became an in-demand session player in Los Angeles and Nashville. He played at the 2002 Concert for George, a tribute to George Harrison, and on the subsequent album release; he has also been a longtime member of Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings big band.

Over the years, Lee has made almost a dozen albums under his name, as well as a handful with Hogan's Heroes,


which he founded with steel-guitar player Gerry Hogan in 1987. With Hogan's Heroes, Lee usually is in the spotlight, singing, playing guitar or pounding the piano like Jerry Lee.

Guitar buffs also can learn Lee's licks by watching the instructional DVDs in which he shows off his signature finger-style playing. And although Lee is well-known for making the Fender Telecaster cry and sing, he has also inspired the Albert Lee BFR guitar by Ernie Ball Music Man.

During his rare downtime at home in Malibu, Lee relaxes by working on his "three or four" vintage cars. Following our interview, he intended to take a close look at the brakes on his 1961 Ferrari.

Thanks to his versatility, tone and speed, Lee long has been known as "the guitar player's guitar player,"Terra Nova oil field

Terra Nova is an oil field development project  off the coast of Newfoundland. Discovered in 1984 by Petro-Canada, the field is the second largest off Canada's East Coast. Terra Nova is the first harsh environment development in North America to use a Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel, Terra Nova. Production from the field began in January 2002. The reservoir has an expected life of 15-17 years.

The oil is produced from Late Jurassic sandstone within the Jeanne d'Arc Formation.  The reservoir was deposited as a large braided fluvial system.  The discovery well was Terra Nova K-08 drilled in 1984 by Petro-Canada.

Khoury makes his biggest contribution to Elissa yet here, with three songs. Amri La Rabbi, arranged by Michel Fadel, is an adequate song with hopeful lyrics. Sallemli Alaih, arranged by Nasser El As'ad, brings in the kind of rich, oriental music that Kermalak and Betmoun had. Fi Shi Enkasar is a ballad characteristic of Claude Chalhoub's classically influenced work and truly makes Elissa's vocals shine amongst the mellow harp and the moody strings. Mohamed Rehim, the man behind the 2002 hit Agmal Ehsas, returns with the beautifully heartfelt We Byestehi as well as the album's weakest song, Eftakart. A Bali Habibi is already wowing audiences with its hopelessly romantic lyrics, but the music itself is surprisingly dull for Salim Salameh and Chalhoub. Strangely, Tamer Ali, arguably Elissa's hitmakerDetroit City FC is returning to Keyworth Stadium one last time in 2016.

The 'Old Boys' of Detroit City will lace up their boots for a special Homecoming friendly match on Saturday, October 8. Kickoff is at 7 PM ET.

City will host Mundo Latino (Latino All-Stars), the team DCFC faced in its inaugural match as a club in 2012.

The two teams met at Historic Fort Wayne on May 5, 2012, when Detroit recorded its first-ever win as a team, beating Mundo Latino, 3-1.

Legends of City's past will once again don Rouge + Gold in the special Homecoming match presented by Metro Detroit Chevy Dealers. DCFC Old Boys like 2013 Black Arrow MVP Zach Myers, former captain Josh Rogers, goalkeeper Bret Mollon, Zeke Harris, Knox Cameron and more will be


in action against Mundo Latino.

Supporters are encouraged to purchase tickets ahead of time. Tickets are $7 online and $10 at the gate on matchday.

The 2016 season marked an incredible year of achievements for Le Rouge. After renovating 80-year-old Keyworth Stadium through its historic community investment campaign, City saw a record 7,410 supporters at its first match at its new home on May 20, 2016. A week later, the club hosted fan-owned FC United of Manchester in front of more than 6,200 supporters.

DCFC also opened its first brick and mortar club shop at 2750 Yemans Street in Hamtramck. In August, the club announced it distributed $107,000 in revenue sharing checks to its investors.

"The tiger is very mischievous," Hedgecoth said. "He likes to sneak up behind them."

The BLT have been together for the past 15 years, partially due to having shared a traumatic past.

"They were rescued from a drug dealer's basement in Atlanta," Hedgecoth said. "They saw each other as family so they don't know any different."

All three of them had suffered severe injuries, including various internal and external parasites, but the bear's condition was by far the worst.

Hedgecoth said Baloo the bear was found strapped to a harness that had not been loosened as he matured. The harness eventually


grew into Baloo's skin, and had to be surgically removed upon rescue.

Baloo's surgery was the first and the last time the BLT had been separated. Now, if any of them has to be removed for medical procedures, Hedgecoth said that they will go out of their way to bring the other two, "just as comfort."

Hedgecoth said they once had another bear and tiger share an enclosure as cubs, but noticed it was time to separate the pair as they matured two years later. However, she said that the way Baloo the bear, Leo the lion and Shere Khan the tiger snuggle together in their enclosure assures her that the trio will live out their days by one another's side.

Watch:The Retired Number 42 at Chase Field

After the Arizona Diamondbacks retired the number of Luis Gonzalez, I began receiving a lot of questions from fans visiting Chase Field asking who wore number 42 for the Diamondbacks and who it is hanging next to Gonzo’s number.

On the 50th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the major league color barrier, Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig retired the number 42 throughout baseball. From that point forward no player could wear number 42 although players wearing that number at the time were allowed to continue wearing it until retirement. This occurred on April 15, 1997 nearly a year before the Arizona Diamondbacks would play their first game as a franchise.

As such, no player in the history of the Arizona Diamondbacks has ever

Marco Bulacia guides his South Racing Ford Ranger to a top 20 finish in gruelling Dakar Rally

Marco Bulacia and Claudio Bustos cruised through the short final special stage of the 2017 Dakar Rally to ensure that they steered their South Racing Ford Ranger safely to the finish podium in Buenos Aires in 20th overall.

The Bolivian and his Argentinean navigator had overcome minor issues during the course of 12 punishing days, where Mother Nature forced the cancellation of two special stages and temperatures fluctuated wildly from the mid-forties Centigrade to sub-zero at altitude.

The Ford Ranger was reliable and competitive from the start and it was fitting that Bulacia should complete the event in the top 20, having finished 21st with South Racing in 2016. He completed the finalspecial in 16th position to secure the top 20 finish.

The only setback for the team was the loss of the DMAS South Racing Ford Ranger of Spaniard Xavier Pons and his Argentinean navigator Ruben Garcia on the second special stage in Argentina. Pons had been second fastest on the opening special in Paraguay before crashing heavily on the run across the Grand Chaco the following day.

“The rally started superbly for us with Xevi (Pons) taking second position on the Prologue and, up until his accident on day two, he was running in the top three on the Dakar and in the split times,” said Scott Abraham, managing director of South Racing. “This showed the true potential of the Ford Ranger. Marco ran a very conservative and solid rally

As human beings we are each unique, yet as women we share common challenges of care-giving, balancing work and home life, and feeling good about ourselves in a culture obsessed with youth and beauty. Our bodies change in cycles and over the natural course of time from menarche through menopause, and (if we so choose) through pregnancy, childbirth, and nursing. Our psyches are female; our

Yoga identifies four inherent fountains in all living beings. They are primitive drives that serve our health best when regulated by routine. Naturally, there will be times when you live off the clock. But even these times will be sustainable because of the time you have spent following a regular routine. A regular, natural rhythm is a major cornerstone of balanced health.

Provisions of this Paragraph are applicable to commodity accounts only if agreed to by this Corporation in a separate endorsement. This Paragraph shall not apply to any controversy involving a nonspurious claim under federal securities laws."
The defendant contends that Levy had the actual authority to open the cash account and to bind the plaintiff to the terms and conditions of the cash account agreement. AGE further contends that Levy had been given both written authority, in the form of a corporate resolution signed by Caire, and verbal authority which consisted of statements made by members of the Executive Committee ofit is the account agreement and not the sale of the bonds which contains the arbitration clause. It was not unlawful to open an account with AGE. In fact, the *1001 account remained open after the sale of bonds, with the funds from the sale being held by order of the Commissioner of Insurance for the State of Louisiana.
In summary, the court finds that the agreement with AGE to open an account, which contains an arbitration clause, was expressly ratified by Continental Board resolution of February 23, 1984. It is also clear from the language of the resolution itself and from the deposition of Arthur Maxey that the resolution was aimed at the ratification of the sale of bonds by Levy and the opening of the account with


Hillary Clinton was recently sending out demands on behalf of the CIA to spy on foreign envoys at the UN and around the world. If the sanctity of the diplomatic bag is to mean anything, it must be a universal value.

The implications of the WikiLeaks disclosures for vast government databases are considerable. The confidential medical records of more than 50 million UK citizens will soon be sitting on a centralised £12bn computer system which can be accessed by as many as 250,000 NHS staff from 30,000 terminals. The NHS Spine is, essentially, no different from Siprnet, the military intranet at the heart of these leaks. The vision of a 22-year-old private soldier reading – and allegedly copying – the innermost secrets of US diplomacy is hardly a reassuringone.

Alarmist predictions

The general principle of confidential information comes into conflict with freedom of expression issues the moment such material is leaked. That is not to argue that it is right to "dump" all the American cables for the whole world to read. It is plainly not. They need to be handled with care and a responsible eye on the possible damage to individuals and operations. WikiLeaks may have erred in some of its judgments over where the precise line should be drawn – but, in general, alarmist predictions of the sky falling in following publication of war logs and cables have failed to materialise. Mr Assange is accused of being relentlessly anti-American. But, for some years, he ploughed a rather lonely furrow publishing material which embarrassed corrupt and


deep animosity between the Arab Gulf states and their Iranian neighbour, for instance, or that the Russian prime minister, Vladimir Putin, sat astride a virtual mafia state. Some stories broke new ground – the CIA instructions to spy on the UN being one example. China's willingness to see the Korean peninsula reunited under a government in Seoul changed the way we saw an old conflict; and the revelation that a senior Chinese official had co-ordinated the assault on Google took that story into new territory. Yemen's private willingness to admit that US bombs were their bombs, and the extent to which the US had lost control of policy in Pakistan, also opened eyes.

Closer to home, the "special relationship" has taken some dents. US criticism of the performance ofBritish troops in Sangin, the cockpit of the Afghan insurgency, caused palpable anger among British soldiers, particularly as the US are themselves starting to take heavy losses in Helmand. This can only increase the estrangement of public opinion to the war. It was instructive to learn that the US had been given assurances that the Chilcot inquiry into the Iraq war would not reveal anything damaging to US interests.

A fragile web

What of the internet itself? What many people had thought was a resilient web – a communications network that could "route around censorship" – has, after all, a few points where failure, whether technical or political, stifles communication. The ironies hardly need spelling out. For a powerful argument of the potential of the beneficial power of the web,


The New Zealand Supreme Court Building in Wellington. The court has ruled in favour of South Taranaki District Council in its legal battle to add fluoride to the water supply in two towns.

A Taranaki council has won a landmark legal fight to add fluoride to the water supply in two towns, and the Supreme Court decision has been praised by New Zealand's dentists.

On Wednesday the court ruled against anti-fluoride campaigners following a five-and-a-half-year, $385,000 legal battle over the water supply in Patea and Waverley.

South Taranaki District Council decided to add fluoride in December 2012.

Catherine Groenestein/STUFF South Taranaki Mayor Ross Dunlop said he was very pleased to have a definitive ruling.

The decision, which followed public consultation, was taken to improve poor dental health in both towns, but was challengedevidence-based decision making".

Its chief executive, John Pfahlert, said in 2014 the Royal Society of NZ and the Prime Minister's Chief Science Advisor concluded there was no evidence that fluoride had adverse effects on public health and had significant dental health benefits.

Mr Pfahlert said councils could now act to fluoridate public water supplies in the knowledge that there is both a sound legal and scientific justification for doing so.

New Health New Zealand was unavailable for comment.


Dorrance Smith has received one of George Bush's precious recess appointments. How exciting!

We now have as Assistant Secretary of Defence for Public Affairs a man who is on record as describing (without offering any evidence) al-Jazeera as having "a working arrangement [with terrorists] that extends beyond a modus vivendi". It's almost as if the Secretary of Defence specifically wanted to neutralize a potentially effective, reality-based State Department-housed public diplomacy which included an outreach to al-Jazeera.

Allow me to quote myself on this lucky new recess appointee:

His legacy in Iraq was an almost unbelievable record of failure in the realm of building a credible, independent, critical Iraqi media. His view of the media as inherently political (he reportedly walked around the Green Zone wearing a "W 2004" hat, and hisC-Span Baghdad project was a pure form of media as state propaganda, to "get the good news out") and his evident contempt for the contributions of the press to a functioning democracy, have had crippling legacies. And his views no doubt contributed to the Iraqi government's unbridled hostility towards al-Jazeera, including kicking them out of the country and making their own unsubstantiated allegations about collaboration with the insurgency. His views on al-Jazeera are of a piece with his views on the media as a whole. Indeed, he actually says this: "Osama bin Laden, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, and al Qaeda have a partner in Al-Jazeera and, by extension, most networks in the U.S." That a person with such views was responsible for the media in the new Iraq tells


The New England Patriots are one of four teams still playing as they head into Conference Championship Sunday, and the 2016 NFL Draft remains far from the minds of most Patriots fans, not only because the draft won’t happen for another three months, but also because the Patriots lost their first-round pick, as well as their fourth-round draft pick, due to league penalties resulting from the so-called Deflategate scandal.

Though Quarterback Tom Brady, who was suspended four games over Deflategate, went on to beat that suspension in court and the case against him and the Patriots in the deflated-football affair has been widely discredited, that all came too late to reverse the draft pick penalty. Owner Robert Kraft last May decided to accept the league sanctions without a fightin what he thought was a peace offering to the NFL — a goodwill gesture that proved futile.

As result, the Patriots will not make a selection in the draft, which runs from April 28 to April 30 in Chicago, until the second round. And because of their place as one of the final four teams in the NFL playoffs, they will pick no higher than 60th overall.

What can they get with a pick that low? History would suggest, quite a bit. Most famously, New England selected what turned out to be a future Hall of Fame quarterback in Tom Brady with the 199th selection in the 2000 draft, Head Coach Bill Belichick’s first at the Patriots helm. And in 2009 star wide receiver — and Brady’s favorite target

Bush took to the morning shows Sunday to continue what Christie started in the debate: the emerging narrative that Rubio is too scripted on the campaign trail, hewing to talking points — a claim Rubio played into when, under pressure from Christie about his experience, he repeated the same line nearly verbatim in the span of minutes.

“He's so scripted; he's so gifted. He's a great speaker, but he came across as totally scripted and kind of robotic,” Bush said on "Fox News Sunday."

Christie, whose disassembling of Rubio became the night's most memorable moment, quickly sought to parlay his strong performance in the debate into a new narrative: The New Hampshire contest is now wide open and couldthem to overturn gay marriage.

Cruz laid low, skipping the Sunday shows and spending the morning in church 15 minutes outside of Manchester, shaking hands and speaking with veterans and students. After speaking with an usher, who greeted Cruz as “President,” The Texas senator stood by himself for a few minutes inside the sanctuary before his wife, Heidi, joined him. He kissed her on the head and stood for much of the service with his arm around her.

The pastor who introduced Cruz noted that the church can't endorse, but he personally did, and he went on to stress to the crowd the importance of getting out the Christian vote.

Meanwhile, Ben Carson,


whose chances of winning the nomination have dwindled but who still captures support from some evangelical voters, continued to portray Cruz as emblematic of a corrupt Washington culture. His campaign has been leveling harsh hits on Cruz over the Texas senator's role in an attempt by his campaign to convince Iowa voters that Carson was dropping out of the race — just as the votes were getting underway in Iowa on Monday. Cruz, who's blamed CNN's reporting for fueling the rumor, was greeted Saturday night by a harsh statement from the cable network, which said he "knowingly misstated" the network's role in the episode during Saturday's debate.

Common treatment of nationals of third countries in the EU

The Member States of the EU are all subject to migration pressures from many - and often new - sources to which they have to respond by finding the balance between economic and humanitarian considerations in line with European legislation and key international agreements. The abolition of internal border controls and the notion of a common external border reinforces the desirability for the Union to develop more common approaches and closer cooperation in the immigration policy area. In fact, the abolition of checks at internal borders of the European Union is effective both for the citizens of the Member States and for third country nationals, once they have crossed the external frontiers of a Member State. In other words,
