Description: According to Marc Berman of the New York Post, Knicks forward Metta World Peace (knee) will dress for Wednesday's game.

Insight: World Peace had his knee drained before missing his second straight game Tuesday at Detroit. He's not a good fantasy option.

Insight: World Peace is still dealing with a sore knee. He's only reached double figures in three of his eight games this season.

11/19/2013had 18 points, six boards, three steals and two threes over a season-high 32 minutes Tuesday against the Bobcats.

Insight: World Peace had 17 points, four rebounds, one steal and two threes in just 21 minutes Sunday after opening the season with two forgettable games. He'll continue to offer inconsistent production as Knicks coach Mike Woodson changes his rotation frequently.

Description: Metta World Peace played 18 minutes and had four points, four rebounds and one steal in his Knicks regular season debut Wednesday against the Bucks.

Insight: World Peace attempted zero 3-pointers after taking 5.5 per game last season. While coach Mike Woodson is going to change his lineup based on the opponent and World Peace will get some starts, he doesn't need to be owned in any fantasy


leagues.

Description: Neither Metta World Peace nor Andrea Bargnani will start New York's season opener against the Bucks on Wednesday.

Insight: Mike Woodson is rolling with Raymond Felton, Pablo Prigioni, Iman Shumpert, Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler as his starting five. Woodson plans on changing up the lineup on a game-by-game basis, however.

10/28/2013 8:27:00 PM

Description: Knicks coach Mike Woodson said he is considering starting Metta World Peace over Andrea Bargnani in the season opener, according to Ian Begley of ESPNNewYork.com.

Insight: Bargnani struggled mightily on defense and also only shot 38 percent during the preseason. Plus, starting World Peace would allow Carmelo Anthony to play power forward, where he played most of last season when he won the scoring title.

Kofi Opare snubs Ghana for Canada

Ghanaian-born defender Kofi Opare has submitted application for Canadian citizenship in order to be eligible for the country’s national team.

The 24-year-old of American side D.C. United has been a pillar at the back for his club since joining in 2014 and is currently one of the best stoppers in Major Soccer League.

Born at Mampong near Kumasi in the Ashanti Region of Ghana, Opare is yet to be capped by the West African nation at any level, and despite the fact that he can also represent the United States, he insists on featuring for Canada.

“I’m definitely interested in playing for Canada, if I got the opportunity,” Opare told MLSsoccer.com.

Elaphrosaurus

Elaphrosaurus or “lightweight lizard” is a genus of carnivorous dinosaur from the Late Jurassic Period. It lived in what is now the Kimmeridgian state of Tanzania. Its skeleton was found in the Tendaguru Beds of Tanzania. A related animal was found in the Morrison Formation of the western United States. Most fossils of theropods found have only been fragments, until the discovery of a single nearly complete skeleton of Elaphrosaurus. It did not contain the skull.

Elaphrosaurus was about 20 feet long. It was slender and had a long neck, possibly for digging into carrion. It stood about 5 feet tall and weighed nearly 460 pounds. It is thought that this animal could run fast as its shin bone was longer than the thigh bone.Convert Metrics

TYA was conceived and formed in 2015 by three of the most important yacht-dealerships in Europe, with the mission to become "the first international organisation in the yachting industry offering sales and chartering of dealer-approved quality yachts ranging from 40 feet to 40 meters in length".

The people behind TYA are the founders of EKKA Yachts, Ventura Yachts and MennYacht, three of Ferretti Group's most historical and successful dealers who combine:

30-years of combined product expertise, industry relationships and local knowledge

Eight strategically-located yacht offices/service points from London to Athens and Palma to Doha

Α bespoke customer relationship management (CRM) system designed and developed by the founders

EKKA Yachts was the first ever dealer to represent the Ferretti brand internationally. In 2014 the company celebrated 30 years of continuous collaboration with the


reputable brand. EKKA's tremendous commercial achievements (sold and delivered more than 600 yachts in the Greek and Cypriot markets) can be mainly attributed to the company's excellent covering the full-spectrum of services around the ownership of a production yacht, from delivery and after-sales warranty support, all the way to the chartering or re-sale in the brokerage markets.

MennYacht Group is the exclusive dealer for the Ferretti Group yacht brands in Central and Eastern Europe (Riva, Pershing, Mochi Craft, Itama, Ferretti, Custom Line and CRN). With more than 25 years’ experience, MennYacht Group offers a full range of yachting services for its clients, through pre-owned yacht brokerage, charter, authorized service points, maintenance / refit, crew education and placement, insurance and financing solutions, yacht management and berths.

Ventura Yachts, with offices inMarbella, Mallorca, and Barcelona, together with a Ventura UK in London, are one of the largest distributors of premium yachts from the prestigious Ferretti Group. Ventura Yachts are the Spanish representative for the iconic Ferretti Group brands, Ferretti Yachts, Pershing, Mochi Craft, and Custom Line. As part of the extensive dealer and service network of the Ferretti Group, Ventura also offers excellent after sales care.


Modeling evolutionary games in populations with demographic structure.
Classic life history models are often based on optimization algorithms, focusing on the adaptation of survival and reproduction to the environment, while neglecting frequency dependent interactions in the population. Evolutionary game theory, on the other hand, studies frequency dependent strategy interactions, but usually omits life history and the demographic structure of the population. Here we show how an integration of both aspects can substantially alter the underlying evolutionary dynamics. We study the replicator dynamics of strategy interactions in life stage structured populations. Individuals have two basic strategic behaviours, interacting in pairwise games. A player may condition behaviour on the life stage of its own, or that of the opponent, or the matching of life stages between both players. A strategy isa random sample of households was selected within each district or village, and residents of the sampled households who were employed at the time of the survey were identified and invited to participate. Subjects who were not economically active were not eligible. Self-administered questionnaires were delivered to the selected households by trained interviewers. After one week, completed questionnaires were collected and on-site inspection was performed by the same interviewer. The response rates for the six waves of survey were 82%, 81%, 86%, 87%, 89%, and 78%, respectively. In this study, we utilized survey data collected in 2001, 2004, 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2016. We excluded employers, the self-employed, and people aged \<25 or \>65 years. A total of 95,762 participants were included in the study and it was

Jeffrey Feltman told the Security Council that four months since the resumption of Israeli-Palestinian talks aimed at a two-state solution, negotiators "have gone some way toward narrowing their differences."

But he said "strains have been growing dangerously between the parties, and these can and must be overcome."

Feltman cited "a significant setback" following a series of Israeli announcements of settlement plans in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, especially the Nov. 13 announcement of 24,000 new units, including in the sensitive E-1 area.

Palestinians say construction there would close one of the last open spaces between east Jerusalem, which the


Palestinians want as the capital of their future state, and the West Bank where many Palestinians live. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asked the housing minister to reconsider the expansion plans.

"We hope that these plans are suspended," Feltman said, adding that Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon wants "a full stop" because settlements violate international law and are an obstacle to peace.

In protest at the settlement expansion announcements, Feltman said Palestinian negotiators have submitted their resignations, which are now under consideration by President Mahmoud Abbas.

He said Abbas has made it clear that "this does not constitute a Palestinian departure from (peace) talks."

Feltman urged the Israelis and Palestinians to intensify efforts to reach a settlement "and refrain from actions that undermine trust and the spirit of talks."

He cited the deteriorating situation inHamas-ruled Gaza, where there is renewed violence and worsening economic and humanitarian conditions.

Specifically, he said, Israeli security forces carried out over 350 search-and-arrest operations in the past month, violence between settlers and Palestinians continued on a daily basis throughout the West Bank, and an Israeli soldier was stabbed to death in the Israeli city of Afula.

Feltman stressed that a two-state solution remains the only way to realize the legitimate aspirations of Palestinians and Israelis "for self-determination, peace and security."

"The consequences of failure would be dire for Israelis and Palestinians alike," he said.

"We thus continue to urge the parties to remain steadfast in their commitment to see this process through," Feltman said. "But we fear that unless steps are taken to prevent the reoccurrence of negative developments such as

Substantial geographical variation in the prevalence of acute WNV in patients in Israel was found and an overall correlation with WNV-infected mosquitoes. All human patients sequenced were infected only with the Mediterranean subtype of WNV Lineage 1 and resided primarily in the coastal regions in central Israel. In contrast, mosquitoes were infected with both the Mediterranean and Eastern European subtypes of WNV lineage 1; however, only the Mediterranean subtype was found in mosquitoes from the coastal region in central Israel. These results demonstrate differential geographic dispersion in Israel of the two WNV subtypes and may also point to a differential pattern of human infections.

polishing.
It was found that the existing polishing equipment was not capable of producing the high quality flat finish necessary for the starting material of a sophisticated integrated circuit. It was also found that over two percent of the wafers were damaged due to the manual handling of the wafers during the unloading of the primary polisher, transporting the wafers, and loading the final polisher.
A need therefore existed for an automatic polishing system that could do both the primary and the final polish and still produce large diameter, ultra flat, defect free wafers, with a minimum amount of operator handling.News Beyond BitPesa in Africa: Interview with Michael Kimani

"What's coming down from the surface to these depths isn't all that much, and not very digestible to deep-sea life," said Jesse McNichol, who conducted this work as a Ph.D. student at WHOI and is the first author of the study.

The microbes at vents get their energy to live and grow through chemosynthesis, feeding off a chemical cocktail of hot hydrothermal fluids emanating from the ocean's crust. And they, in turn, represent the base of the food web, providing food for other organisms that require preformed organic matter, just like humans do.

"So the microbes play an important role by generating new sources of


researchers in Leipzig, Germany, to employ a novel analytical method known as NanoSIMS, allowing them to match the identities of microbes with their rates of carbon production under different incubation conditions at the level of individual microbial cells, showing that microbes known as Campylobacteria (formerly known as Epsilonproteobacteria) were the dominant carbon producers.

"Some of the microbes in the incubations doubled their populations in just a few hours," said Sievert. "This points to a very active subseafloor biosphere at deep-sea vents."

Given the critical role these microbial communities play in the deep ocean, the scientists are looking for new and more routine ways to measure productivity miles below the sea surface.

Opt-Out: Believe the DNC and Hillary – OR – John King, the Secretary of Education? | Reclaim Reform

Opt-Out: Believe the DNC and Hillary – OR – John King, the Secretary of Education?

These are facts, not opinions.

Secretary of Education John King will financially penalize schools and districts when parents opt-out of high stakes standardized testing for their children. John King is appointed by President Obama.

The DNC and Hillary will guarantee the rights of parents opt-out of high stakes standardized tests with no penalty for children, parents, schools or teachers.

Topor blends social anxiety and gradual supernaturalism in a genuinely unsettling short novel. This edition also includes four of Topor's short stories, some of his rather creepy artwork (that's one of his own pieces on the cover), and an introduction by Thomas Ligotti.

I'm still working at H.P. Lovecraft's Favorite Weird Tales. Last night I read M.P. Shiel's "The House of Sounds," an excellent story of a decaying family and their unusual dwelling-place. As that plot outline would suggest, it's reminiscent of Poe's "Fall of the House of Usher," but it's got weird narrative conceits of its own and a particular florid style that simultaneously disturbs and hypnotizes the reader with its tangled syntax and flashes of poetic alliteration. Difficult to get into, but a classic once you're


caught up in the flow.

Finally, there's New Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos, edited by Ramsey Campbell. I haven't started it yet, though I've previously read Stephen King's "Crouch End," about a couple who get lost in a suburb of London and find their way into another world entirely.

I've read quite a bit of Ramsey Campbell; I read a lot of horror anthologies, and he pops up a lot in those. (I recently picked up the Stoker award-winning Dark Delicacies, and it's not surprise that he's in there.) His short stories are almost always good, and I keep meaning to read some of his novels.

Speaking of collections, Penguin's recently released American Supernatural Tales. It's got a few stories that are bound to be repeats for most of us, like'Sebastian Melmoth' whilst in France. Various authors from Balzac to Nabokov appear to have worked in references to Melmoth.

In some ways, Melmoth was one of the last classic Gothic novels - I mean in the tradition of Walople, Lewis, Radcliffe. The plot structure makes almost absolutely no sense (it's a story within a story, then within a story, then within a story), but it's all connected by the titular character.

Council of Europe Secretary-General Thorbjorn Jagland said he has spoken with Russian officials about reports that rights activist Ildar Dadin has been tortured and beaten in prison.

Jagland said on November 3 that he told Justice Minister Aleksandr Konovalov via phone that he is concerned by Dadin's claims in a letter to his wife that he had been tortured and threatened while serving his 2 1/2 year sentence at the IK-7 prison in the northwestern town of Segezha.

Jagland, a former prime minister of Norway, urged Konovalov to carry out a thorough investigation of Dadin's claims and to work with the Council of Europe on prison reform for Russia.

Konovalov pledged to Jagland that a full and transparent probe of Dadin's situation would


be conducted.

Dadin, 34, was the first person convicted in Russia of taking part in multiple unsanctioned protests. He received a three-year sentence in December that was later reduced by six months.

Meanwhile, Dadin's wife, Anastasia Zotova, said on November 3 that her husband is thought to have had a seizure on November 2.

The deputy head of Russia's prison service, Valery Maksimenko, said Dadin had fallen off a chair "in a fit" while being examined by doctors.

Palestinians, who seek east Jerusalem as a future capital.

“An IDF patrol foiled a bomb-laying attack by a cell of three armed terrorists near Rafah, close to the border,” the Israeli military said Monday. “This is a particularly violent protest point. The troops responded with fire at the terrorists. The terrorists were killed.”

Israel also said its aircraft targeted a Hamas post in Jabaliya after troops in the area came under fire. None of the Israeli soldiers were hurt. Later in the day, Israel's Defense Forces (IDF) said a fighter jet struck five Hamas military training facilities in northern Gaza.

“Rioters are hurling pipe bombs and firebombs at IDF troops, burning tires, throwing stones and burning objects, with the intention of setting fires in Israel and hurting IDF troops,” a memberof the Israeli army was quoted by The Times of Israel as saying.

Footage posted online by the IDF purportedly showed Palestinians pressed up against the border fence throwing over objects that were on fire.

The demonstrations Monday -- dubbed the "Great March of Return" by Palestinian media -- are reported to be part of a campaign led by Hamas to break the decade-old border blockade of the territory imposed by Israel and Egypt after Hamas seized control of Gaza in 2007. Since weekly border marches began in late March, dozens of Palestinian protesters have been killed and more than 2,300 wounded in clashes.

Israel’s security service, Shin Bet, claimed Monday that Hamas is encouraging Palestinian civilians to flood the border, with their own gunmen waiting in the wings to break


people gathered in the center of Ramallah, while hundreds marched to the Qalandiya crossing on the outskirts of Jerusalem, where protesters threw stones at Israeli troops.

The U.S. said it chose today's date for the embassy opening to coincide with the 70th anniversary of Israel's establishment.

But it also marks the anniversary of what Palestinians call their "nakba," or catastrophe, a reference to the uprooting of hundreds of thousands who fled or were expelled from what is now Israel during the 1948 war surrounding Israel's independence.

Most of the casualties Monday were in the southern Gaza towns of Khan Younis and Rafah. Israeli forces were firing volleys of tear gas to disperse the crowds, and the sound of heavy gunfire could be heard. Sirens were constantly wailing as the wounded wereevacuated on stretchers to nearby ambulances. Groups of young activists repeatedly approached the fence, but were quickly scattered by gunfire and tear gas.

In one of the border areas east of Gaza City, Mohammed Hamami, a 40-year-old civil servant, joined a crowd of hundreds of protesters, along with his mother and five children.

"Today we are here to send a message to Israel and its allies that we will never give up on our land," he told the Associated Press.

Clouds of black smoke from burning tires was also seen rising into the air. Earlier Monday, Israeli drones dropping incendiary material had pre-emptively set ablaze some of the tires collected in advance by activists.

Protesters have used the thick smoke as cover against Israeli snipers perched on high sand berms on the

The argument is that because California taxes rich people more -- and because rich people's incomes can have big variations from year to year -- the state has become too dependent on the volatile tax receipts of the rich. The volatility also creates temptation: in good years, a surge in revenues leads to overspending by the legislature. In bad years, big drops in revenues leads to hurtful cuts.

This argument has become quite fashionable; it's part of the thinking that underpins the Think Long Committee's proposal to cut income tax rates while extending the sales tax to services. A flatter tax system, the theory goes, will produce steadier, more predictable revenues.

There's also a counter-argument: thatManagement

OPINION

ERVIN, Circuit Judge:

After Arlington County denied her application for service-related
disability retirement benefits, Lila Mallette brought this action under
42 U.S.C. § 1983, claiming that the County violated her constitutional
right to due process by failing to provide adequate notice. The district
court granted the County's motion for summary judgment, reasoning
that Mallette had no "property interest" entitling her to due process,
and that, in any event, she had received all the process she was due.
We disagree. We find that the County ordinance endowed Mallette
with a legitimate claim of


County. In 1981, she volunteered at the
Arlington County Visitor's Center, where she later applied for part-

                    2
time employment. At the time she applied, Mallette informed the
County of her medical history and passed a pre-employment physical
examination. The County initially hired Mallette in a part-time posi-
tion. About eight months later, Mallette became the full-time Coordi-
nator of the Visitor's Center and a member of the County's employee
retirement plan--the Arlington County Employees' Supplemental
Retirement System II.

In 1983, Mallette was injured in an auto accident while on duty.
After that accident, Mallette experienced renewed pain and weakness,
requiring her to spend most of her non-working time lying down.
Later the same year, as part of her duties, Mallettewent on a strenu-
ous week-long bus tour of County tourist sites. After the bus trip her
condition drastically worsened, forcing her to stop working com-
pletely and barring her from most activities. She now spends nearly
all of her time lying down and must take narcotic pain medications.
According to her physician, Mallette's condition has permanently
incapacitated her and prevents her from working.

After her re-injuries in 1983, Mallette applied for worker's com-
pensation benefits, which she received until 1993. In March 1993,
near the end of the 500-week statutory maximum for payment of
worker's compensation benefits, the County Personnel Department
sent a letter informing Mallette that her payments would cease on
June 6, 1993. However, the letter stated that "[t]he Retirement System
will begin paying you effective June 7, 1993." The letter further
instructed Mallette to contact the Retirement Office"for


additional
information regarding your retirement benefits." According to Mal-
lette, conversations with County employees led her to believe that the
County would convert her worker's compensation benefits to service-
related retirement benefits as a matter of course.

On March 17, 1993, Mallette submitted an application for service-
connected disability retirement benefits to the County Board of
Supervisors. On May 28, 1993, a physician for the Retirement Sys-
tem, William A. Hanff, examined Mallette and concluded that she
was permanently disabled and was eligible for service-connected dis-
ability retirement benefits. Dr. Hanff gave Mallette a copy of his
report, which stated that she "should be permanently retired on job
connected disability."

                    3
On June 26, 1993, the System's Board of Trustees notified Mallette
thatthe System's Board of
Trustees was available to Mallette was neither briefed nor argued by the
parties, except that the County denied her request for reconsideration of
its decision.

                    16
sent Mallette a letter informing her that her retirement benefits
"would begin" June 7, 1993. Mallette contends that she understood
from conversations with County workers that her application for
retirement benefits was largely a formality, and that her worker's
compensation benefits would be "converted" to retirement as a matter
of course. Most significant, the County furnished Mallette with the
report of its own physician, recommending that her application be
granted. Not until she arrived on the morning of the hearing did Mal-
lette receive Dr. Hanff's revised report. Based on those


negotiating group reached a landmark agreement known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action that ended a 12-year deadlock over Tehran’s nuclear programme. The deal, struck in Vienna after nearly two years of intensive talks, limited the Iranian programme, to reassure the rest of the world that it cannot develop nuclear weapons, in return for sanctions relief.

At its core, the JCPOA is a straightforward bargain: Iran’s acceptance of strict limits on its nuclear programme in return for an escape from the sanctions that grew up around its economy over a decade prior to the accord. Under the deal, Iran unplugged two-thirds of its centrifuges, shipped out 98% of its enriched uranium and filled its plutonium production reactor with concrete. Tehran also accepted extensive monitoring by the International AtomicEnergy Agency (IAEA), which has verified 10 times since the agreement, and as recently as February, that Tehran has complied with its terms. In return, all nuclear-related sanctions were lifted in January 2016, reconnecting Iran to global markets. The six major powers involved in the nuclear talks with Iran were in a group known as the P5+1: the UN security council’s five permanent members – China, France, Russia, the UK and the US – and Germany. The nuclear deal is also enshrined in a UN security council resolution that incorporated it into international law. The 15 members of the council at the time unanimously endorsed the agreement. On 8 May 2018, US president Donald Trump pulled his country out of the deal. Iran announced its partial withdrawal from


the nuclear deal a year later. Saeed Kamali Dehghan, Iran correspondent

Iran has justified the step by step reduction in its commitment by pointing to the EU’s inability to make good on its promises to increase trade between Iran and Europe. In July, Iran abandoned two of its commitments under the deal by allowing its stockpile of enriched uranium to exceed the 300kg limit and breaching the cap on the purity of its uranium stocks.

The French foreign minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian, earlier this month told the French parliament’s foreign affairs committee it was up to Iran to pick up the proposals his country sought to broker at the UN general assembly in New York last month.

He said: “We consider that these initiatives, which didn’t succeed, are still on thetable and it is up to Iran and the United States to seize [them] in a relatively short amount of time because Iran has announced new measures to reduce its commitments to the Vienna accord [JCPOA] in November.”

Tensions between France and Iran have risen after the Iranian intelligence agencies captured an Iranian exile based in Paris, Rouhollah Zam, who had led a media campaign against the government. He was captured in Jordan this week on his way to Baghdad.

France has also disclosed that Iran has detained Roland Marchal, a senior researcher from Sciences Po University in Paris, since June.

The tensions came as the Iranian foreign minister, Javad Zarif, said one or more foreign powers were behind the missile attack on an Iranian tanker in the Red Sea last

Springer launches first open access journal in Religion: International Journal of Dharma Studies

It was almost two years ago that I received an email from the then publishing editor in Religion and Philosophy at Springer Science+Business Media expressing an interest by the publisher to launch open access journals in Religion. I wrote about the conversation I had with the editor in response to that email back in March 2012.

The International Journal of Dharma Studies is affiliated with the Center for Dharma Studies at Claremont Lincoln University, California, which also serves as the journal’s sponsor. The founding Co-Editors in Chief of the journal are Professors Rita D. Sherma (University of Southern California) and Purushottama Bilimoria (University of California at Berkeley and University of Melbourne, Australia). The journal has a completeroster of section editors and an extensive editorial board. Submitted manuscripts are subject to review by at least two scholarly peers, who are provided with clear review guidelines.

The journal takes a multi- and interdisciplinary approach to the study of the Indic Religions (Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, and Sikhism) with the following aims (from the journal website About page):

(i) investigate, present, interpret, and envision the shared and distinct categories of the life-worlds of the Indic Religions, globally, in a (ii) multidisciplinary format with articles from Religious Studies, Philosophy, Ethics, Cultural Studies, Musicology, Film, Contemporary Issues, Sociology, Anthropology, and the Arts, within (iii) a structure that maintains the rigor of conventional academic discourse, but adds methodological contextualization and investigative, epistemic, hermeneutical and evaluative perspectives from these religious and cultural traditions (iv)


me to learn that the initiative to make the International Journal of Dharma Studies open access came from Springer. (This squares with what I was told by the Religion and Philosophy publishing editor, that all new journals launched by Springer needed to be open access.) Bilimoria is Co-Editor in Chief of the journal Sophia: International Journal of Philosophy and Traditions, and the Book Series Editor of The Sophia Studies in Cross-cultural Philosophy of Traditions and Cultures, both of which are published by Springer. So the agreement of the journal founders to move in this direction was based first-off on a longstanding positive relationship with the publisher, not from a philosophical commitment to open access per se.

Bilimoria indicated a preference for a traditionally published subscription-based journal available in print,Judge.

TRIMBLE, District Judge:

Due to a controversy over the use of academic games in a tournament setting, Robert W. Allen (Allen) individually and d/b/a National Academic Games Project (NAGP) filed suit against Academic Games Leagues of America, Inc., R. Lawrence Liss, Neal Golden, James Davis, Stuart E. White, and Jean Skomra (collectively referred to as AGLOA) alleging copyright, trademark, and tradename infringement.   AGLOA filed a motion for summary judgment against Allen's claims for copyright infringement.   The district court granted the motion and Allen timely appealed.

I. FACTS

7
Since the 1960's, Robert W. Allen has been involved in the development of academic games, including the games at issue in this appeal, A MAN CALLED MR. PRESIDENT,1 EURO-CARD or WORLD CARD,2 linguiSHTIK,3 and PROPAGANDA.4  Allen has been employed


in various capacities for schools and school districts for the purpose of integrating the subject games, as well as other academic games, into classroom settings and student competitions.   For several years, middle and high school level students from six states have participated in national tournaments that Allen conducted under the name of National Academic Games Project (NAGP), a sole proprietorship of Allen.   The highest number of students attending a NAGP tournament was 900 in the mid 1980's and approximately 800 students attended the tournament in 1991.

8
In 1992, a non-profit corporation, Academic Games League of America (AGLOA) was formed to conduct a national tournament that used some of Allen's academic games as a culmination to local and regional student competitions that also used the subjectgames during the school year.   Prior to forming AGLOA, the individual respondents had significant roles in the NAGP national tournaments for many years.   However, while each of the individual respondents was principally involved in AGLOA activities, Allen was not included.   In fact, AGLOA was formed due to a personality conflict that developed between Allen and the individual respondents and because of disagreements on how to conduct and develop the national tournament.

9
Beginning in April, 1992, AGLOA conducted annual tournaments that coincided with Allen's NAGP national tournament.   The tournaments occurred at the same time because of a need to wait for the completion of local and regional competitions and to accommodate the activities of graduating high school seniors.   The subject


games used at the AGLOA tournaments were purchased and brought to the tournaments by the participating students and schools.   To date, three AGLOA tournaments have been conducted involving approximately 500 students, in 1992, to 900 students, in 1994.

10
At each AGLOA tournament, the subject games were played under rulebooks developed by an AGLOA committee that continuously revised the rules to enable students to play each game under tournament conditions while enhancing student educational value and interest in the games.   Tournament rulebooks used at NAGP tournaments were not copyrighted by Allen and were actually developed and revised by a committee of persons that consisted primarily of the individual respondents.   While each of the subject games contains a game manual, AGLOA tournament rulebooks do notrepeat the rules found in the game manuals, but refer to the rules and elaborate on how each game is to be played in a tournament setting.

11
Allen derives income from the sale of each of the subject academic games.   AGLOA buys games from Allen to sell directly to participating schools at cost and does not copy any of Allen's copyrighted materials in their tournaments.   The only players in AGLOA's leagues are students.   Allen has never objected to the playing or use of his academic games by students, who have played Allen's games in regional leagues for over twenty years.

II. DISCUSSION
A. Public Performance

12
The Copyright Act of 1976 confers upon copyright holders the exclusive right to perform and authorize others to perform their copyrighted


games are meant to be "played."   In this situation, the games are being played by students who come together for the purpose of friendly, academic competition.   There is no indication that this nonprofit corporation, AGLOA, and the individual respondents are making the subject games available to the public for a fee.   The students, schools, and school districts use their own games, purchased from Allen, in the tournaments, and respondents are merely organizers of this event.   Moreover, AGLOA's tournaments are limited to students who participated in regional competitions which also involved the playing of Allen's games.

15
Even if the playing of games could constitute a performance, we would have to recognize the applicability of the fair use doctrine under Section 107 ofdirectly to the check valve. As a consequence, the cost of the tubing that would normally have been therebetween, as well as the additional cost of mounting the components to respective ends of the tubing, is eliminated thereby reducing cost.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, the reservoir has a chamber the top of which is integrally molded plastic having an inlet port at the top thereof, and a lateral pipe extending across the underside thereof. The lateral pipe is adjacent to, and advantageously has its upper extent defined by, the underside of the chamber top so as to be held at the top of the chamber away from the bulk of contrast media therein. The lateral pipe has an upper tap communicating with the fluid


inlet port and a pair of lower cut-outs at opposite ends of the lateral pipe. The fluid coming into the chamber first passes through the inlet port and directly through the tap so as to be confined within the lateral pipe. The confined media is thereafter dispersed at opposite ends of the pipe into two different locations through the cut-outs. As a consequence, the drawbacks of both the deflector plate and the bent lube are avoided.
The chamber top may further have an integrally formed vent port for venting the chamber. Advantageously, the vent port is out of alignment with the lateral pipe. In accordance with a yet further aspect of the present invention, a flip cap, such as is found on vented spikes, is provided by which toLast week a 50-page infrastructure priorities list, reportedly compiled by a consultancy on behalf of Donald Trump's transition team before the inauguration, surfaced on the Web. And some were surprised by the plentiful references to clean energy.

First released by McClatchy and the Kansas City Star, the list includes 50 infrastructure projects totaling $137.5 billion, of which half is expected from private investment. The plan places an emphasis on transportation systems, calling for renovations and construction of highways, bridges and rail systems.

But the wish-list also seems to prioritize green energy, spelling out plans to invest in wind and solar.

Project No. 9: Plains and Eastern Electric Transmission Lines aims to move cheap, clean, wind energy from the western tip of Oklahoma to Memphis on a 720-mile transmission line. The project


would bring enough clean energy for at least 1 million homes in the mid-South.

Project No. 12: Hydroelectric Plants operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The plan would replace 50-year-old turbines that fuel the production of clean energy within the hydro plant.

Project No. 16: TransWest Express Transmission will “reliably deliver cost-effective renewable energy produced in Wyoming” to California, Nevada and Arizona.

Project No. 17: Chokecherry and Sierra Madre Wind Energy would create up to 1,000 wind turbines on a farm in Wyoming.

Project No. 21: Champlain Hudson Power Express will bring as much as 1,000 megawatts of clean and renewable energy to New York City.

Project No. 49: Energy Storage and Grid Modernization is targeted at minimizing the magnitude of potential blackouts in California by increasing storage for renewable energy.

has more capable Zircon missiles (believed to be the model for the BrahMos II) in development and longer-range Oniks missiles already in service.

Showdown Over the Himalayas—and the South China Sea?

The BrahMos is a new game piece in India’s tense relationship with China. Chinese troops invaded India’s Himalayan border in a 1962 war that is still bitterly remembered in India. In the last decade, the Chinese border garrisons began to rapidly increase in size, leading to similar escalation on the Indian side. China’s close relationship with India’s historical enemy, Pakistan, and its development of military base in Gwadhar, Pakistan—seen as an attempt to encircle India—are another source of tension.Arcane Topics in Economics and Philosophy, Interspersed with Various Distractions

Over-Interpreting the Golden Age

It has long been customary for conservatives to look back to the 1950s as a Golden Age. Lately, this has become a habit among economists who are somewhat heterodox and/or left-leaning. Thus, Paul Krugman, in The Conscience of a Liberal, appeals to the 1950s as a better, more egalitarian time, with high taxes and more equality. Dani Rodrik, in The Globalization Paradox, holds up the Bretton Woods regime of the post-WWII years as an era of "moderate globalization," in favorable contrast to the "hyper-globalization" that began in the 1980s and accelerated in the 1990s. Robert Skidelsky, in Return of the Master, dates the decades immediately following WWII as an era when Keynes was the


normalcy at that point. (This argument applies especially in Asia and Western Europe, but in America too.)

2. Demography. Because of the baby boom after World War II, the population was unusually young. Young people tend to learn, or "accumulate human capital," faster, and consequently enjoy rising productivity. Also, with a smaller population of old people to support, it was much easier for governments to balance their books, with money to spare for public works projects.

I think there's also a third, subtler reason for the post-WWII boom: the West was still benefiting from the technological momentum of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the golden age of innovation, the factory etc., the Age of Henry Ford, which had peaked in the 1920s, but had continuing to cast upWhen the Museum of Modern Art exhibited 25 of the photographs in 1993 under the title “Strangers,” each was labeled with the name of the man who posed, his hometown, his age, and the amount of money that changed hands.

In 1999, DiCorcia set up his camera on a tripod in Times Square, attached strobe lights to scaffolding across the street and took a series of pictures of strangers passing under his lights. This resulted in two published books, Streetwork (1998) which showed wider views including subjects' entire bodies, and Heads (2001), which featured more closely cropped portraits as the name implies.

Originally published in W as a result of a collaboration with Dennis Freedman between 1997 and 2008, DiCorcia produced a series of fashion stories in places like Havana,

July 13, 2005//9:00am — 10:30am

On July 13, 2005, the Mexico Institute of the Woodrow Wilson Center held a policy forum with Jorge Castañeda, an independent Candidate for President of Mexico and former Secretary of Foreign Relations from 2001 to 2003.

Jorge Castañeda opened his presentation by saying that he had launched his presidential campaign almost two years ago in response to his belief that the three most prominent political parties are incapable of strengthening Mexico's economy and democracy. The Mexican party system, Castañeda said, is obsolete and characterized by political parties that are bankrupt, divided, corrupt, and paralyzed. Castañeda asserted that Mexican political parties could not transform themselves unless the political system changed. The great challenge, according to Castañeda, is tomistake. In contrast, Castañeda emphasized the need for Mexico to conserve its resources and obtain financing from abroad. It is also important to improve the country's competitiveness by reducing prices for key inputs, such as electricity. He acknowledged that rule of law is essential for competitiveness. Finally, he warned against the current trend of many important Mexican companies that are moving their investments abroad.

During the session of questions and answers, in reference to the current North American relationship, Castañeda pointed out the need to continue with the agreements reached at the 2001 meeting in Guanajuato. Castañeda asserted that there is no possibility to have a bilateral security agreement without the inclusion of a migration component and vice versa. In its relationship with the United States, Mexico needs to


recognize its priorities and work on an issue-by-issue basis. Concerning NAFTA, Castañeda suggested targeting funds for social cohesion and infrastructure. Mexico needs to balance its relationships with the United States and Canada through multilateral engagement.

For the education system, Castañeda suggested a clarification of priorities such as increased attention to elementary education, which should move from four to eight hours daily. He also favored the introduction of a K-12 system where students can receive a certificate after twelve years of education.

In response to whether the PRI was an unbeatable political machine, Castañeda noted that the 2000 presidential election proved the PRI's fragility. Moreover, the PRI's recent electoral victory in the State of Mexico, which came with only 19% of the votes despite extremely high campaign expenditures, was further proofof that party's weakness. Castañeda maintained that with the current parties, needed political reforms were not likely to happen. The only way to improve the effectiveness of the government is through institutional reforms that reduce the number of members of Congress, allow for their reelection, and introduce a semi-parliamentary system.

Asked whether Mexico should be considered "the backyard of the United States," Castañeda referred to the latest bilateral problem of the "Memin Pinguin" stamps issued by the Mexican Postal Service, which portrayed a popular cartoon character who is black and has pronounced facial features. Castañeda noted that Mexicans should reflect on the struggles of civil rights organizations in the United States that have worked to eradicate racism and be sensitive to their concerns. He noted that stamps are an


official government document. He asserted that Mexico would have similarly felt deeply offended if the United States Postal Service had issued stamps with the images of Speedy Gonzales or "Los Tres Amigos." Mexicans should expect the U.S. government to treat them with respect, and the Mexican government should show the same respect.

Finally, Castañeda commented that although the media often fail to cover topics of substance, people want substance (albeit not in academic prose). As a result, he has accepted the challenge to talk directly to people about the important issues that affect them and to propose solutions. He concluded he is ready to become an independent candidate, and that he believes Mexico is ready for an independent voice with new ideas.

To Attend an Event

Unless otherwisePolice have ended an almost two-month search at a Colorado landfill for the remains of Kelsey Berreth, who has not been seen since Thanksgiving and is believed to be dead.

Authorities began searching the Midway Landfill in Fountain, Colorado, on Feb. 26 for evidence or remains of the missing mother. The search was called off Wednesday.

"Her remains have not been found, nor has any evidence relating to her death," the Woodland Park Police Department said in a statement.

Berreth, 29, was last seen on a neighbor's surveillance camera with her year-old daughter, Kaylee, and her fiancé, Patrick Frazee, outside her home Nov. 22, police said. Earlier that


day, she was seen shopping with her daughter at a supermarket in Woodland Park, Colorado.

She wasn't reported missing until Dec. 2 by her mother.

Frazee, who is Kaylee's father, was arrested and later charged in December with two counts of murder and three counts of solicitation to commit murder. In February, prosecutors announced additional charges including tampering with a deceased body.

Prosecutors believe Frazee, 32, beat Berreth to death with a baseball bat after failing to persuade the woman he was having an affair with to carry out the killing.

Investigators say that after the murder, Frazee convinced his mistress, Krystal Jean Lee Kenney, to clean the crime scene before he burned Berreth's body. Kenney told police that Frazee planned to dump the remains in a landfill or a river.

The Adelaide Football Club tonight provided the City of Adelaide with an update on its proposal to build a sports and community hub in North Adelaide.

At the request of the council, the Club tabled its response to several guiding principles relating to a new integrated sports, aquatic and community centre that would also become the new home for the Crows.

The project is earmarked for the current site of the ageing swim centre on Jeffcott Road and will now proceed to a council-led public consultation process.

The presentation to council outlined how the proposal could reduce the existing building footprint and therefore return accessible green landscapes parklands to the community, facilitate increased linkages to O’Connell Street, and provide public access to high-quality sporting ovals.

Crows CEO Andrew Fagan noted it was'It's what saved me, I think. If I had taken a doctoral degree, it would have stifled my writing capacity," Barbara Tuchman once said. She took the right path.

went outside with a shotgun and proceeded to shoot at Nunez’s car.

When Wallin started shooting, Nunez slammed the gas pedal and drove into a ditch or into bushes.

Wallin continued firing the shotgun at Jace and Nunez. Jace and Nunez fled the vehicle out of the

driver’s side door, and Nunez ran towards the woods while Jace ran toward a nearby mill. At the

mill, Jace was able to ask someone to call police. Before police arrived at Wallin’s residence,

Wallin had fled the scene in Ancy’s car.

       Officer Ryan Onasch with the Quinalt Tribal Police arrived at the scene. Park Ranger

Joseph Turgyan, Deputy Brian Rydman, and Lieutenant Brad Johansson also responded.

       Rydman spoke with Ancy and he took aleft in her car. At that time, she told

Rydman that she did not know who was in the car that pulled up to Wallin’s home and that Wallin

had been texting someone prior to the event, but she was not sure who that individual was.

       Johansson spoke with Ancy that same day and reviewed the Facebook message

conversation. Johansson suspected that Ancy had not sent the messages to Jace and wanted to

confirm his suspicions, and he also suspected that when Ancy gave her first statement, she was

under the influence of some substance.

       Following Johansson’s instructions, Sergeant Robert Wilson contacted Ancy the following

night to obtain a second statement. Ancy explained that she had an on-and-off dating relationship

with Wallin and


in the days leading up to the event on January 6, 2018, the two had been in the

process of resuming their relationship. Ancy confirmed that Wallin had taken her phone from her

and pretended to be her in order to get Jace to come to the house. Wallin had specifically informed

Ancy that he wanted Jace to come to the house because he was trying to “beat him up.” 2 VRP at

288. As Wilson was recording Ancy’s statement, he noticed that Ancy was receiving numerous

notifications on her phone as if someone was messaging her. Wilson asked whether the messages

she was receiving were from Wallin, who was at large at the time. She confirmed that the messages

were from Wallin, and she permitted Wilson to scroll through her phone and photograph the

conversation.

    During

questioning by Wallin, Nunez testified that he knew Jace was formerly associated with the Sureños

gang and that he, Nunez, had been associated with Sureños previously as well. Later, when Wallin

began to testify regarding his prior relationship with Jace and the interaction that took place in the

summer of 2017, the State objected based on relevance. The court asked the jury to step out and

requested an offer of proof from the defense. Wallin described the alleged assault by Jace and

Nunez and explained that he knew Jace by reputation as a member of the Sureños. Wallin stated

that he had seen Jace’s profile picture on Facebook in which he wore the Sureños color and was

“throwing up gang signs.” 2 VRP at 304. When asked where he learned of


Local dog honored as a hero after helping save a life during a fire

HUNTSVILLE Ala. -- A local dog named Queen was given the royal treatment and officially recognized as a hero on Wednesday, after helping to save a life in an apartment fire.

"I can't even say I was a hero, my dog was the hero, she's the one who woke me up," said Amos Smith, Queen's owner. Smith said Queen would not calm down after being let out to use the bathroom.

"She came back in, frantic, with soot all on her face. So I knew something had to be going on because she wouldn't lay down," Smith said.

Not long after, Smith said he heard calls for help. He called 911 and saved the life of his neighborwho was taken to the hospital in critical condition.

The City of Huntsville officially recognized Queen as a hero.

"Queen, we just want to say thank you for being a hero. And we very much appreciate you as well as Amos for your heroism," said Bill Kling, a member of Huntsville City Council.

Smith said the six-month-old terrier mix saved his life long before the fire and when he looks at Queen he feels like a proud parent. "She's already a hero, she saved me anyways," he said. "I was going through depression. My friend gave me a companion to help me through it."

Smith was handed an eviction notice from the housing authority shortly after the fire. The reason, a pet violation stating the mixed-breed puppy was considered to be an

Authority of New York and New Jersey, and Bridget Anne Kelly, a former deputy chief of staff to the governor. The two were indicted May 1 in connection with the abrupt shutdown of local access lanes at the George Washington Bridge in September 2013, in what federal prosecutors say was a deliberate scheme to tie up traffic in Fort Lee to punish Mayor Mark Sokolich of Fort Lee who declined to back Gov. Chris Christie in his 2013 re-election bid.

David Wildstein, a former high-level Port Authority patronage appointee who worked for Baroni, has already pleaded guilty to his role in the scheme, implicating both Baroni and Kelly, who both say they are innocent. Wildstein is cooperating with prosecutors.

The case is scheduled to go to trial in April ofnext year.

The firm of Gibson Dunn & Crutcher had been commissioned by the Christie administration to conduct an internal investigation of the so-called Bridgegate scandal at a time he was considering a run for the Republican nomination for president. The investigation, headed by former federal prosecutor Randy Mastro, led to a report that exonerated and placed most of the blame for the bridge lane shutdown on Kelly.

"What we found was Gov. Christie had no involvement in the decision to close these lanes, and no prior knowledge of it," said Mastro following the March 2014 release of report.

But as the trial of Baroni and Kelly approached, their attorneys court sought all material used by Gibson Dunn in preparing its report, while accusing the firm of making a "deliberate and


systematic" effort to destroy notes taken while interviewing witnesses.

Gibson Dunn asserted that pursuit of the firm's notes amounted to a "fishing expedition" and asked Wigenton to quash a subpoena for the notes.

LACK OF TRANSPARENCY

The judge noted that Gibson Dunn acknowledged it intentionally did not keep notes. She cited a letter from Mastro, who said the firm "was careful about the manner in which we prepared our interview memoranda and other work product" because of a parallel legislative investigation and interest by the media. As a result, he said interviews were summarized electronically by one attorney and then edited electronically into a single, final version.

"The practical effect of this unorthodox approach was to ensure that contemporaneous notes of the witness interviews and draft summaries would not be preserved," notedthe judge. "Rather they would be overwritten during the creation of the revised and edited final summary.

Wigenton said attorneys are trained to "scrupulously document information when conducting internal investigations," and that Gibson Dunn has done exactly that in the past.

But while acknowledging her "distaste for Gibson Dunn's tactics," she said there is no basis to doubt the firm's representations that such notes or drafts do not exist, and agreed to the firm's motion to quash the request for the material.

While not happy with the court's decision, Kelly's attorney said her characterization of Gibson Dunn's actions the case were on the mark.

"I have maintained that the manner in which the interviews were conducted was akin to a deliberate flim flam," said Michael Critchley of West Orange. "The court's words

actual voters) and election fraud (fraud committed by campaigns and political operatives).

An Election Scandal in North Carolina

While, for most Americans, the 2018 mid-term elections ended months ago, one congressional race in North Carolina persisted. Since November, Republican candidate Mark Harris has fended off accusations that his slim, 905-vote lead was the result of fraud. That all changed on Thursday, when Harris—who is dealing with the aftermath of two strokes—conceded to the pressure of the ongoing inquiry. In a hearing with the state's election board, Harris drew audible gasps from the audience when he acquiesced to calls for a new election. State officials promptly announced that a new contest would soon be organized.

If the allegations against Harris' campaign are true, one of Harris' political operatives (a local "election guru"named Leslie McCrae Dowless) covertly assembled a team of election officers to collect and forge absentee ballots. Regulators were tipped off to the potential wrongdoing when absentee ballots from one of the counties in the district swung over 61 percent in favor of Harris (the county is only 19 percent Republican).

Republicans in the state—who recently passed a new voter ID law, after a 2013 foray into voter regulation was struck down in federal court—have been understandably loath to highlight the Harris scandal as an example of voter fraud. But that's not just because Harris is a Republican. The kind of fraud in question is not the kind that voter ID laws would supposedly prevent: It was all done behind the scenes, by election officers, not individual voters.

Not All


Fraud Is Created Equal

When it comes to voter fraud, the concern is individual voters impersonating other people, or otherwise voting illegally. For instance, President Donald Trump and other prominent conservatives have floated the assertion—without evidence—that undocumented citizens are voting in large numbers in elections. (Trump also claimed, again without any evidence, that millions of people voted illegally in the 2016 election that he won.)

As Julie Ebenstein, senior staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union, explains, there's a difference between fraud committed by voters and fraud committed by a campaign. For her organization, Ebenstein says, this distinction is crucial. The ACLU has long rejected Republicans' arguments—both in North Carolina and the country at large—that voter fraud is a widespread issue. "Intentionally casting a ballot fraudulently: That's the bogeymanthat North Carolina and other states have been chasing for years," Ebenstein says.

In 2013, North Carolina's original voter ID law was challenged in court for suppressing voting among African-American voters. Though the state mounted a defense, after three years of litigation, in 2016, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals concluded that "the State has failed to identify even a single individual who has ever been charged with committing in-person voter fraud in North Carolina." The court struck down the law, arguing that it targeted African-American voters "with almost surgical precision."

Though Ebenstein says one would be hard-pressed to find instances of voter fraud changing the outcome of an election, election fraud is another story: "What you have in North Carolina now is election fraud, which is a candidate or


level, committing voting fraud is not "a rational choice," as Ebenstein puts it: "Why would one commit a felony offense and risk prison time to vote a single ballot that is not their own, if it's unlikely to change the outcome of an election?"

But the kind of fraud Dowless allegedly committed in North Carolina requires fewer people and less organization to create a much larger effect: A single election officer has access to scores of ballots, both absentee and otherwise.

There are safeguards in place: State election officials in North Carolina, who were monitoring the election, noticed the irregularity in voting patterns and investigated, kicking off the inquiry that's now resulting in a new election. Individual voters in North Carolina also noticed irregularities and reported them, according to Ebenstein.

Despite the loss of opener Lendl Simmons for a duck, Trinidad started positively with Evin Lewis’ 46-ball 62 helping his side build a healthy total before Yannick Ottley added 41 further runs to leave Trinidad 153 for five after 20 overs.

Mumbai responded through Smith and Tendulkar as they raced towards their target but the tie was still in the balance with two overs remaining.

semifinals of the conference tournament, and if they win their last three regular-season games they'll all but clinch an at-large berth to the NAIA Division II men's basketball tournament.

Seventh-place Oregon Tech (15-12, 8-7) is one game behind Warner Pacific, which it will face in its regular-season finale.

The Raiders have had their way with the Owls lately, rolling in the two meetings this year by a combined 30 points. SOU forward David Sturner had 19 points and 10 boards in the first matchup, and his frontcourt mate Eric Thompson tallied a team-high 20 points and five boards in the rematch three weeks ago.

In addition to the Owls, the Raiders will have to deal with the always boisterous crowd at Danny Miles Court.

"The hardest part about playing over there isa big piece (Claussen) is as far as setting tempo and getting us into offense, and hopefully she can help us execute better at the end of the game."

Southern Oregon has won five of six games since falling to the Owls. After dealing with injuries all season the Raiders have used the same starting lineup in four straight games for the first time in conference play. They won all four, with an average margin of victory of 17 points.

"That's had a big impact on us being able to make some strides recently," Kennedy said. "We won seven of eight down the stretch last year, too, so we have some players who know how to finish strong. It'll be exciting to see how it plays out."

LITTLE ITALY — After shooting down plans for a Walgreens on Taylor Street, a condo association now says its pool privileges have been hijacked by a neighboring apartment complex that had been pushing for the drugstore development.

Developer Jim Hansen said he went to the owners of the Medical District Apartments more than a year ago with the idea of buying the building's two-story parking garage at Ashland Avenue and Taylor Street and replacing it with a Walgreens.

But at that time, residents from the neighboring Campus Green Townhomes rejected the plan. Campus Green Townhomes is part of the planned development where the apartments and garage are located and therefore have a say in how the property is used.

Now the Medical District Apartments have cut off the Campus Green residents'Josh, Paul, and Christmas share their feelings about the jury vote and play a game of 'What if?'
