twentieth century.

Black Africans formed their own soccer clubs in Durban beginning in 1916. However, during the segregation period (1926--1940) a succession of governmental Acts restricted the movement and autonomy of black people. Black Africans from several ethnicities and separated by social class distinctions (e.g. mission-educated elites, migrant and non-migrant workers) started socialising through local soccer club affiliations. Soccer functioned as a vehicle for changing urban, black masculine identities by helping club members affirm their self-worth and contributing to a dominant, working-class athletic masculinity (Alegi, [@CIT0001]). This athletic masculinity included an element of violence. Violent challenges to referee calls (another symbolic authority figure) intensified and transformed the football grounds into sites of physical conflicts, and riots (Alegi, [@CIT0001]). During apartheid (1948--1994), soccer was a political tool against racist oppression.Participating in soccer became a form of rebellion against apartheid policies. Soccer proved difficult for government officials to police because it is easy to play on most surfaces with little equipment. A series of boycotts by international sport institutions including FIFA and the International Olympic Committee occurred in tandem with economic sanctions that left South Africa\'s economy crippled. Interestingly, in the post-apartheid era, soccer transformed from a tool for political rebellion to a tool for political reconciliation. For example, Nelson Mandela\'s presidential inauguration included a soccer match between the South African national team and Zambia. Then, South Africa was awarded the honour of hosting the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the first held on the continent of Africa. The political, economic, and symbolic significance of the 2010 World Cup


offers insightful lenses for understanding male gender dynamics enacted in the pilot intervention study and in the men\'s daily lives. Analyses identified the following primary themes: Delineations as men versus boys, the pull of Xhosa family roles, friendship bonds, hegemonic masculinity on the soccer field (player and coach interactions), Circumcision as 'man' identifier, coaches as positive and negative role models, gangs and Champions League, and gender-based violence. Each theme is illustrated below with quotes from participants.

Delineations as men versus boys {#S003-S2001}
-------------------------------

A primary theme that runs throughout the data and recurs in more specific examples is a broad concept of masculine identity split between self-identifications and perceptions of others as men versus boys. The following quote illustrates the overarching theme of boys versus men and the negotiated masculinitiesuse, and gender-based violence shape role expectations and expressions of masculine identities.

The pull of Xhosa family roles {#S003-S2002}
------------------------------

Xhosa family dynamics are centred at the core of the Champions League programme. The desire of Xhosa players to obtain vocational training to support their families speaks to the social dynamics and their attempt to fill the roles of a 'father' and an elder male, as it is valued and performed in traditional Xhosa society. "... what I realized is that some of the players needed guidance, some a father figure and some could recognize me since I play professional football and that paved the way for me ... I played a father figure role especially to the Manchester United (team) and also a role of being an elder brother to other teams because


the game but everything will be back to normal. (C FGD)"

The feedback from players and coaches speaks to the traditional Xhosa, elder male role models and some of the tensions that arise when young men of similar ages interact with each other in the context of the League and their respective roles in it. Manifestations of these tensions include physical and verbal aggression, yet coaches supported one another and found a solution to some of those tensions, e.g. including them in meetings and adjusting the way in which they communicated with players during training and in games.

Circumcision as 'man' identifier {#S003-S2005}
--------------------------------

Among participants in the Champions League, status was discussed in terms of 'traditional' masculine identities that intersect age, economic independence, and circumcision: "Yes the fact that we werenot like that. (Coach 2)""... there was clash on people that we were dealing with because some were men some were boys  ... So it was a very sensitive practice and very scary in the beginning but after we did it I felt like we should do more of those practices ... Well I was a victim because my team consists of boys only, there was no men. He had a brother who was also playing but in other team but they didn\'t see eye to eye, had some differences, he was younger than him but already circumcised but he was still a boy although he was the eldest and at some point I realized that they were talking to each other as I overheard the younger brother saying, 'You are my


to a coach\'s patience, coaching skills, and sobriety. For example: "We had a good relationship as I told you that I was not good in football he was very patient with me and he does not easily get angry. (Player 11)""We had a very good relationship; he had very good coaching skills. I have never had any misunderstanding and most of the times he assigned me to responsibility of selecting the team for the game. (Player 14)"Players were particularly challenges with navigating bad role models in coaches exhibiting lack of caring of players and commitment to coaching, and intoxication at practices and games. For example, "Most of the time he never cared about his players ... I am really not sure whether he tendered his resignation or he was firedas well as the tensions of achieving that status in contemporary society. Participants expressed how men struggle to establish themselves as men and how acutely aware young men are of their struggle. Without obvious generational differences, young men utilised the traditional Xhosa symbol of adult masculine status to evoke a sense of dominance or at least to contest it. A sense of disrespect between men and boys appears to persist from the apartheid era during which more than two-thirds of children in South Africa lived with one or both parents away from home for the majority of a year (Wilson, [@CIT0080]). Townships were originally designed as areas to 'warehouse' black African workers and emphasised keeping families apart. The most devastating effects of apartheid were the dismantling of Xhosa


(also Zulu and other Bantu groups) families through forced removals via the Group Areas Act, Pass Laws, and the influence of migrant labour (Clowes, Ratele, & Shefer, [@CIT0016]). Adding HIV/AIDS to the dynamic and 'AIDS orphans', attention shifted to household structures of dying mothers and absent fathers. Black African children (all Bantu groups together) had the greatest reported increase in fatherless homes between 1993 and 2002 which means that black African children were more likely not to reside in the same household as their fathers than to reside with them (McGhee, [@CIT0054]). Some fathers were voluntarily absent from their sons' lives while others died (AIDS, cancer, etc.), were killed in mines, or due to street violence.

Soccer is a domain where discourses take place and reinforce the paradox ofroles in situations where their coach would be absent or intoxicated during practices and games. Coaches were not subjected to sanctions for their antisocial behaviours and echoes concepts of hegemonic masculinities and Bourdieu\'s theory of practice where men negotiate, resist, and re-establish authority. Notable in interviews from both coaches and soccer players, the soccer league created a context for men from different gang affiliations to share activities and engage in camaraderie that facilitated their socialising away from the soccer pitch and in the streets. Offering young men a controlled *field* or social domain in which to enact masculine behaviours was valued by the community.

Inclusion of circumcision in future prevention projects may be valuable. In contemporary South African society, emphasis on the acquisition of circumcision and rights to marriage


Q:

What was the original ending to Enemy Mine?

I heard that the current ending was tracked onto the otherwise quiet and thoughtful film when cigar-chewing studio execs insisted that movie-goers would be upset that there wasn't an actual ”mine” in the movie (ugh).
Does anyone know what the original ending was? This is one of my favorites, warts and all.

A:

'Enemy Mine' was based on a book by the same name, which itself was based on an older movie called 'Hell in the Pacific' (staring Lee Marvin and Toshirō Mifune; two excellent actors for that style of movie.) The original movie did have an alternate ending that was changed due to being too abrupt. (And too much of a downer.)

Jamie seemed uncomfortable. He kept adjusting his ridiculous hat and asking Mika how she felt.

"My internal organs want out," she said matter-of-factly. And then, "Do I have my keys?"

"I have them." I pulled her keys out of my tote and caught Jamie examining the side of it, where there was a picture of the Degas sculpture _Small Dancer Aged 14_. My dad had given me the bag for my fourteenth birthday.

"When did you take her keys?" Jamie asked.

"I didn't take them," I said. "She gave them to me earlier. She always gives me her stuff."

More sobering news that the retrovirus that causes AIDS has itself gone retro, impacting much gay men in percentages that rival the disease's devastation in sub-Saharan Africa:

In several U.S. urban areas, the HIV prevalence among men who have sex with men is as high as 30%—as compared with a general-population prevalence of 7.8% in Kenya and 16.9% in South Africa.

The reason, according to research in the New England Journal of Medicine, is that the epidemic is "generalized" among African populations, but not so here in the U.S., where it's not just concentrated geographically but within particular social networks.

That's led to a rethinking of HIV prevention efforts, which for years have focused on specific high-risk transmission behaviors, like unprotected sex, IV drug use,


promiscuity and the like. We've all heard that, among gay men in particular, "the use of drugs such as crystal methamphetamine — especially at sex parties and in venues such
as bathhouses — has contributed to risky behavior and HIV acquisition."

But now AIDS researchers are, in some senses, going back to where they started, looking at whether the strongest indicator of whether a person is at high risk of being infected is his "social-sexual network," especially in big cities in the Northeast and West Coast, as well as the South.

The extent of the risk of acquiring HIV in the United States today is largely defined by a person's sexual network rather than his or her individual behaviors. Understanding the context and settings in which risk is increased may leadfrom a somewhat unlikely source: Michael Petrelis. It was something of an understatement for Michael, a longtime gay, AIDS and human rights activist, to write that we have had "a sometimes adversarial acquaintance over the years."

During my tenure editing Southern Voice in Atlanta, the Washington Blade and the other publications in the Window Media family, Petrelis left me his share of screaming voice mails. He was usually complaining about our decision not to give what he considered adequate coverage to a story or, more frequently, to source stories from outside the usual Beltway suspects.

He was a pain in the ass, frankly, to me and my reporters, but then again, that's what the long lost art of activism is all about. I still differ with him on his methods


waning months of his
presidency last year, Bush reached out to remind gay Americans that we
were second-class citizens. His White House staff threatened to veto
the most basic gay rights legislation: a hate crime bill and the
Employment Non-Discrimination Act.

There were some indications
that ENDA amendments agreed to in the House, stripping gender identity
protections and strengthening exceptions for faith-based employers,
might have resulted in the president actually signing the legislation.
Perhaps for that reason, as well as the divisive fight over transgender
protections, the Democratic-controlled Senate never took up ENDA, and
President Bush was never forced to decide whether to sign or veto.

The
stormy Bush legacy on gay issues has a few silver linings. Some
controversial executive orders ping-pong between presidents of
different parties, signed by one only to be repealed by the next. Bush
left in place a Clinton-eraorder that protected federal workers
against anti-gay discrimination. But Bush did little when one of his
own appointee watered down the protections until they were effectively
meaningless.

Bush was the first GOP president to send openly gay
nominees to the Senate for confirmation. During the Clinton years,
appointees like Roberta Achtenberg and James Hormel faced stiff
resistance from Republicans like Jesse Helms based solely on their
sexual orientation. Although Bush made precious few out gay
appointments, his willingness to do so at all marked an end to the
Helms era even before Helms himself passed away.

Another Bush
highlight was his massive commitment to the fight against AIDS outside
the U.S., especially in Africa. Without taking anything away from that
effort, it was hard not to see it as a signal that the heterosexual
population affected by AIDS in Africa was more sympathetic


areas.

Foreigners
who come to America on work visas are permitted to bring their
unmarried partners with them, and the Bush administration decided that
regulation includes same-sex partners as well. The motivation was not
gay rights but competitiveness, since U.S. employers would otherwise
lose out on talented young Europeans who are marrying later or entering
into civil unions.

As positive as this recognition was, it only
highlighted how gay and lesbian Americans now have even less rights
than non-Americans to sponsor foreign same-sex partners to live in the
United States.

It will take months if not years for the incoming
administration and Congress to undo the harm done in eight years of
George W. Bush, not to mention his Democratic predecessor. For that
reason alone, Jan. 20 can’t come soon enough.

The growing raft of statistics is proving what manymost outrageous and galling information to emerge yet in this political year.

In July of this year, Kai Wright wrote an excellent and incisive piece for The American Prospect which described the creeping "AIDS apartheid" that has unfolded over the past several years. He shows how it is due to the inertia in shifting our national HIV/AIDS policies to get in front of the changing face of this epidemic. The American South has become an HIV/AIDS "ground zero" because of outdated, clanking federal policies on routine HIV testing, on funding through the Ryan White CARE Act (that is still far too tied to formulas shaped for the epidemic of 1990), and the gross abdication of effective prevention efforts of any kind where they are needed the most. And Wright


to Congress, and is held accountable for its results. No more ceremonial offices on Lafayette Square or in the White House, which have too often served only as a political shop since the beginning. Real policy responsibilities, on a real timetable, and real accountability.

And Congress must be held to account as well. This idea that one or the other is the "better" party on AIDS is now shown for the charade that it is. The Republicans have been the ones who delivered on funding and reforms far and above the Democrats before or after them, but they've also been playing ideological and religious politics with AIDS since the beginning, from gay-bashing in the early days to ineffective abstinence-only and absurd anti-condom prevention requirements today, at the expense ofshows a real comprehension of the emergency we're facing at the federal level on HIV/AIDS, than by their positions on the apparently comatose ENDA or hate crimes bills. And not just lovely talk, or great big hugs, but real understanding of the sweeping reform that is necessary.

Those looking to Barack Obama's vice presidential pick for some reassurance that the presidential nominee's strongly supportive gay rights talk will translate into legislative walk once in office will find little of either in running mate Joe Biden, the longtime Delaware senator.

The selection of Biden was immediately praised by gay and trans groups in Washington and by activists from his home state, but the good senator's record doesn't live up to such laudatory rhetoric. In fact, Joe Biden


Biden's opposition runs much deeper and is much more troubling. Obama opposed the passage of the notorious Defense of Marriage Act, as did John Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee four years ago. Not Joe Biden. He sided with Republicans to enact DOMA into law, and has never once said publicly that he regrets his vote or favors a full or even partial repeal.

Biden's position on DOMA and other important issues remains a mystery in part because he was one of only two Democratic presidential hopefuls who chose to skip last fall's televised forum on gay issues sponsored by HRC and Logo. He claimed to have a "scheduling conflict" but his campaign website showed no appearances scheduled for the day of the forum.

Rather than consider that poor choice anpolicy included federal funding for needle exchange, a policy reversal for her and her husband:

The changed position is worth pausing over because needle exchange was the subject of one of the campaign's most illuminating moments, during a New York City event at which an AIDS activist, Charlie King, pressed Clinton on her husband's rejection of recommendations that the federal government back needle exchange programs. I wrote about the exchange, which was caught on video, in July.

"Well, because we knew we couldn't maintain it politically," Clinton said, and went on to discuss the trade-offs in that dispute with Congress. "I wish life and politics were easier," she said.

King then referred back to Clinton's opening remarks. "You made a great comment earlier about how our next president needs to have


as Hillary did, that he showed "as much spine as he possibly could, under the circumstances." The real issue -- with him then as with her today -- is whether a Clinton president will risk political capital and show leadership on important social issues.

Witness Bill Clinton on gay issues: He caved on "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and never lifted a finger on the Defense of Marriage Act -- except to sign it into law. The same "under the circumstances" spinelessness caused him to cave on needle exchange, as the late Bob Hattoy, an openly gay and HIV-positive official in Clinton's Interior Department, said back in 1998 in an interview with Southern Voice:

"This is worse than 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' because instead of just ruining lives, it can actuallyad, in which parents counsel their son to take a condom on a date with his boyfriend, is another subtle example of that.

I would go one step further, and develop marketing campaigns that remind us all that good old-fashioned dating, going steady and relationships have a lot to recommend them, especially with rising HIV statistics. Most of the gay men I know who survived the worst of the AIDS slaughter in the 1980s and 90s did so because they were in relationships. There's nothing wrong -- and a lot right even beyond the safe sex context -- to remembering that lesson.

In recognition of World AIDS Day, the Brazilian government has produced a series of safe-sex advertisements that are running on television. There's even one


in HIV infections among men who have sex with men:

The rate of new infections among gay men under 30 in New York City rose 33 percent from 2001 to 2006.

As many as 1 in 22 gay and bi men in Florida is infected, with rates reaching 1 in 11 gay white men in Fort Lauderdale, 1 in 13 gay black men in Palm Beach and 1 in 12 gay Latinos in Miami-Dade.

New infections among gay and bi men in the U.K. are at record levels, with an estimated 1 in 20 infected nationwide and 1 in 10 in London.

In Australia, HIV infection rates have risen by a third in the last decade, with 88 percent of transmissions occurring through gay sex.

Then came the big one: a report thismen in the closet, too.

The uneven success of HIV meds, which have not cured the disease and, according to recent reserach, only extended the life expectancy — diagnosis to death — from 7 years to 24. And there's no "holiday" from HIV. The first large-scale study on taking "breaks" from HIV meds shows the risk of death doubling, even though the cause of death isn't necessarily AIDS-related. (One caveat: the study, which concludes patients should stay on a daily med regimen their whole lives, was partially funded by pharmaceutical companies.)

The Bush administration's unconscionable elevation of idelogy over science in pushing "abstinence-only-until-marriage" as a viable HIV prevention strategy. Abstinence has a role to play in prevention, especially among young people who can be encouraged to delay an active sex


life. As part of the ABC's— Abstinence, Be Faithful, Condoms — is a proven effective approach. But "abstinence-only-until-marriage" ignores reality and, given opposition to gay marriage, is irrelevant to the lives of young gay men, who remain a very high risk group. It's irresponsibility is second only to the Vatican's morally reprehensible opposition to condom use, even among heterosexual married couples with one spouse who is poz and one who is neg.

The death of AIDS activism in the U.S. The virus wiped out a generation of gay men and the organizations they started are now largely run by non-profit professionals who no doubt care about the issue but act as if their fiduciary responsibility is to their board of directors and not to those living with the diseasewas one of the first "AIDS movies," and it effectively drew you back to the fear and loss that filled the decade of the 1980s for gay men. At the end, when the original group of seven friends has dwindled to three, they imagine what it would be like if a cure for the virus was discovered, and they could celebrate with all their lost friends. As silly as it sounds, it is a devastating scene. I defy you to watch it without tears.

These men created a family of friends, boyfriends and partners — longtime companions, as the New York Times deigned to refer to them in obituaries — and they stuck by each other as blood families do. Some were still supported by blood relatives, others were

When the first cars began circulating, nobody could imagine humanity could extract, refine and distribute millions of barrels of petrol per day. This is good: Bitcoin growth could collaterally help spread solar and wind energy, giving a kick to renewables. In the beginning, oil had a prohibitive cost, and only rich people could afford a car and also petrol to run it.

We know that, with time, more and more people and investors began oil extraction, and the price got lower and lower, allowing cities to be so crowded with cars, that pollution became a problem.

The checkpoint is typically the security checkpoint for international airlines including AirIndia, the complaint said.

Beginning in August 2009, TSA and the Port Authority Police Department of New York and New Jersey "received numerous complaints from passengers scheduled to depart the airport on the 6:20 p.m. AirIndia flight that money and other valuables in passengers' carry-on baggage were missing after their baggage was hand searched by TSA employees at the B-3 checkpoint," the complaint said.

The complaining passengers were predominantly non-English-speaking women of Indian descent and nationality who were returning to India after visiting the United States, according to the complaint. Authorities launched an investigation, including video surveillance of the checkpoint.

Arato


told authorities Tuesday that "he had considered harming himself," assistant U.S. attorney Eric Kanefsy told Magistrate Judge Michael A. Shipp.

Arato's public defender, John Yauch, said his client would not harm himself and was not a flight risk. "He has too much to live for."

Arato's colleague, identified in the complaint as the "co-schemer," began cooperating with authorities in September 2010 and told police he has been stealing from passengers at the checkpoint since about October 2009. The colleague said that he and Arato had agreed that when he stole from passengers, he would "kick up" half the money to Arato. Arato also regularly stole from passengers himself, sometimes giving his colleague some of that money, according to the complaint.

Between September 13 and October 5, Arato accepted a total ofbills on numerous occasions from the colleague.

In audio recordings made October 5, the colleague told Arato that he took a "full envelope" from a passenger and put it in the security office next to the checkpoint, according to the complaint.

The unanimous opinion issued on Tuesday by the Pennsylvania Superior Court finds merit in an amended complaint filed by an adult survivor of clergy sex abuse, which, instead of focusing on the predator priest, charges the Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown with conspiracy, fraud and constructive fraud.

The opinion reverses an earlier decision by a Blair County Court judge dismissing the lawsuit because the statute of limitations had expired.

The amended lawsuit filed by Renee Rice claims the diocese committed conspiracy when it failed to protect her over its interests and that of the


Eliza Loeks Mr. Michell English H 3/4 1 October 2016 Traditional Culture and Academic Success among American Indian Children in the Upper Midwest This article is about the studies that have been done on the academic success of American Indian children across the Upper Midwest. There were studies done on fifth through eighth graders who live among three American Indian reservations. The study was based off of the influence of traditional culture to academics. The variables used for these studies included age, gender, family structure, parent occupation and income, maternal warmth, extracurricular activities, enculturation, and self-esteem (Whitbeck, Hoyt, Stubben LaFromboise 1-2). There was no correlation between self esteem/enculturation, and academic performance. However, the results show that traditional culture and celebrating their origin in a number of ways positively(CNN) It's a pursuit nearly as old as the infamous shipwreck itself.

Divers first plunged into the waters off Nantucket, Massachusetts, to catch a glimpse of the Andrea Doria a day after the ship sank in July 1956. That first dive netted photos for Life magazine. Later, another expedition led to a documentary about the deadly shipwreck , which killed more than 50 people when the Italian luxury liner collided with another ship. For decades, the site became so popular with daring divers that it is known as "the Mount Everest of wreck diving."

Officials have long warned that it's a dangerous dive to get to the shipwreck site, 240 feet underwater. In the past decade alone, the Coast Guard says , seven people set out to reach the wreck


and never returned.

Another diver went missing this week and is presumed dead. The Coast Guard said it suspended the search for the missing 64-year-old man Wednesday night and notified his next of kin.

The diver was last heard from on Tuesday while diving about 60 nautical miles southeast of Nantucket, the Coast Guard said.

Another diver reported that he'd been with the man underwater, but didn't see him when he got back to the surface.

Coast Guard crews -- by air and by sea -- searched more than 350 square nautical miles over 30 hours as they looked for a sign of the missing diver before announcing the search had been called off.

It was a difficult decision, a top official said.

"The primary goal of every man and woman who serves inthe Coast Guard is to rescue those in need and save lives," said Marcus Gherardi, chief of response at Coast Guard Sector Southeastern New England. "This is why we serve. It is extremely disheartening anytime we are unable to accomplish this goal."

The shipwreck site is a popular destination for advanced divers and charter services that bring people to the area, Coast Guard spokeswoman Lt. Karen Kutkiewicz said. But given how deep it is, she said, it's not an appropriate spot for recreational divers.

The risky trek has become so notorious that it was the topic of a 2002 book, "Deep Descent: Adventure and Death Diving the Andrea Doria."

In the book's foreword, author Kevin F. McMurray says the ship's mystique draws people into the depths of the Atlantic: "her untimely


demise, the tragic loss of life, the rescue of her survivors by her heroic brethren, and of course the whims of the open oceans that brought about her destruction."

Why risk it?

"As someone who remembers her dramatic sinking and yearns to keep a piece of that precious time close to heart," he says, "I can think of no more fitting tribute than beholding the magnificent lady up close and touching her now silent remains, and maybe if lucky and bold enough even bringing back some artifact from her to preserve and display."

But Coast Guard officials offered more words of warning in their statement on this week's missing diver.

"The ocean is unforgiving," the statement said. "The Coast Guard reminds everyone on the water, whether diving, snorkeling, boating or swimming toTheir recently released book is the first they've written together. The pair talked with Portland author Cheryl Strayed at Revolution Hall.

However, similar ideas have been around already in the 17th century, when Thomas Hobbes based his theory of the state on the laws of motion, in particular on the principle of inertia, which was then deduced by his contemporary Galileo Galilei^[@CR11]^. The 'invisible hand' proposed by Adam Smith in the second half of the 18th century is also eerily similar to the now famous notions of economic and social self-organization^[@CR12],[@CR13]^, and at the time was deemed to be as dependable in operation as the law of gravity^[@CR14]^. And in the 19th century, the evolving physical theories of matter as a vast collection of atoms and molecules inspired a statistical view of societies and the predictable averages therein. Just as the random movements of moleculesin a gas yield the mathematically simple gas laws, it was fathomed that societies may also be predictable in the collective scale. Thus, as Philip Ball argued aptly^[@CR10]^, early sociology was indeed constructed according to an unspoken faith that there was a kind of 'physics of society'.

But despite the long and fascinating history, it was not before the very end of the 20th century that truly remarkable progress had begun along the interface of physical and social sciences. This progress has been driven by advances in statistical and theoretical physics, by the coming of age of network science^[@CR15]^ and computational social science^[@CR16]^, and by the relentless innovations in computer and information technology.

China has declared its next plan is to conquer Mars, beginning with a Mars rover to be lifted off next year.

What You Need to Know About the Donald Trump Rape Lawsuit — and the Accuser Who Claims He Raped Her When She Was 13

An attorney helping an anonymous California woman accusing Donald Trump in a federal lawsuit of raping her in the ’90s when she was 13 announced that the woman would go public for the first time Wednesday.

But as the press conference was about to begin in the California offices of attorney Lisa Bloom, Bloom called it off, citing threats to the plaintiff, known in court papers as Jane Doe.

WATCH: A Look at the Accusations of Sexual Misconduct Against Donald Trump

United States District Judge Ronnie Abrams has ordered both sides to appear for an initial status conference on Dec. 16 at U.S. District Court in Manhattan. The lawsuit seeks $75,000 in damages.

These moves come after the plaintiff filed an amended complaint on Sept. 30 that includes a witness, “Joan Doe,” who states that during the 1994-95 school year, the plaintiff told her she was “subject to sexual contact” by Trump and Epstein.

The complaint also contains a declaration from a Tiffany Doe, who claims she was a party planner for Epstein and charged with finding attractive adolescent women to attend his parties.

Tiffany allegedly met the plaintiff at the Port Authority Bus Terminal,and persuaded her to attend the parties as a way to make connections that would launch her modeling career.

Tiffany allegedly witnessed Trump have four sexual encounters with the plaintiff, including one “where Mr. Trump forcibly raped her despite her pleas to stop.”

This is the third time the plaintiff has alleged in court filings that Trump raped her when she was 13. Her case has been riddled with skepticism because she’s been connected to questionable supporters, and she won’t speak to or meet with reporters, according to numerous accounts.

The first time she filed was in California and without an attorney; the case was dismissed.

Her public backers surrounding that filing reportedly include Steve Baer, a Republican donor, according to the Huffington Post.

Fanelli’s remarkable career with Rangers coming to an end

Ben Fanelli

KITCHENER — Before and after every game, Kitchener Rangers captain Ben Fanelli texts his mom Sue.

"It's a thing we do," said the 21-year-old defenceman.

Pre-game, the message usually reaffirms how happy he is to be heading out on to the ice. After the tilt, he just wants to make sure she knows he's all right.

"It's something little, but it's a huge thing for us," he said.

Only three games remain for Fanelli in a Rangers' uniform.

As the club's sole overage player he'll move on from junior hockey after Wednesday's game in Guelph, Thursday's clash in Sarnia and Friday's season finale at the Aud against the Windsor Spitfires.

That's six more texts before it's all done.

"I want to finish the right way," hesaid. "I'm making sure I enjoy every shift and every second of it."

Kitchener selected Fanelli in the third round of the 2009 OHL draft. He played just seven games for the Blueshirts before his career was put in jeopardy after he was seriously injured in a game at the Aud.

Erie bruiser Mike Liambas ran Fanelli from behind into the end boards, knocking the defenceman unconscious. The Oakville native was taken to the hospital with a head injury and spent the next two years fighting to return.

And he proved doctors wrong by making it back for the beginning of the 2011-12 season.

That's when the texts home started. His mom supported his journey but was uneasy about seeing him in action.

"It's just something that I think helped her be OK


with me playing again," said Fanelli.

During his two-year layoff, he still went to school in Waterloo Region, trained at the rink daily and launched Head Strong: Fanelli 4 Brain Injury Awareness, a program dedicated to spreading the word about brain injuries.

Without the support from the team and fans he says he probably would have retired.

"The Rangers didn't owe me anything," he said. "I was just a draft pick that had played seven games. That's why I'm thankful every day. That's why I do the community stuff."

And it's why this week is emotional.

The bus rides home from outposts across Ontario. The solo pre-game walks in the neighbourhood surrounding the Aud. The lead-up to puck drop on game night. And, of course, his teammates.

He's going to miss it all.

Despite informal talks today and Monday, picketing events have continued to take place from Massachusetts to Virginia. In New Jersey, about half of the company's 15,000 workers have been picketing at locations across the state.

Both Verizon and union representatives declined to comment on the video.

In a statement earlier today, the CWA said it has received nearly two dozen reports of Verizon picketers being hit or narrowly missed by company vehicles driven by Verizon managers or non-union workers.

In one instance, which took place in Howell on Sunday, the victim was knocked unconscious and suffered a concussion, said Bob Master, a spokesman for the union.

"All I can tell you is that we've


never had this before," said Master, adding he has been involved in four CWA telephone strikes since 1996. "It appears there's a pattern here of reckless driving."

On Monday, Verizon said it had been the victim of at least a dozen "sabotage" incidents targeting their cables and facilities in New Jersey and New York, affecting thousands of customers including hospitals, police and fire departments.

Verizon has said it is seeking to bring health care and pension benefits in line with the rest of the industry, but union representatives claim the company is trying to make cuts at a time when it is still making billions in profits.

Here is another video, showing striking Verizon union workers yelling at replacement workers.

China's help changes mood for North Korea

The strong involvement of China in backing new sanctions on North Korea seems to have changed the calculations for the rogue regime, Australia's foreign minister believes.

Julie Bishop says the world will know the sanctions are working when North Korea agrees to come back to the negotiating table.

Her US counterpart, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, has revealed he's been "back channelling" North Korea - or sending messages via non-conventional routes - in a bid to get them to that table.

"He indicated to me that part of his efforts to bring China into the collective strategy, to impose economic sanctions on North Korea, he was also back channelling ... North Korea to make it clear to them that the United States was prepared tocredit to US President Donald Trump for changing the rhetoric with his strident approach to North Korea's increasing missile and nuclear tests.

"I actually believe that the Chinese recalculated their risk when President Trump upped the ante in terms of rhetoric and what he said that the United States would do should they be threatened by North Korea."

Opposition foreign affairs spokesman Richard Marles said it was important to pursue every diplomatic and peaceful avenue.

"It absolutely involves making sure there is dialogue between all the parties involved," he told Sky News.

"I think there is still a fair way to go in terms of trying to shape North Korea's behaviour."

Eleven Penn State York students who completed their work at an upper division campus of Penn State will return to York, their home campus, to receive a degree during the ceremony. Penn State York offers the first two years of more than 160 Penn State majors and those students comprise most of the campus.

Rodney, 73, is retiring from the University effective July 31, and has accepted an appointment as visiting director of global partnerships for the University of South Florida Polytechnic in Lakeland, Fl.

Before he leaves, Rodney hopes to have the new certificate in entrepreneurial studies fully developed


and operational, advance the goals of Penn State York’s capital campaign, and continue to improve services to students -- especially those from around the world.

Rodney originally came to the campus as the campus executive officer in March 2003 and when the University reorganized in 2005 he was named chancellor of Penn State York.
Under Rodney’s leadership the campus has earned an international designation from the University and the number of international students has grown significantly. Rodney was instrumental in designing a two-plus-two program in 2006 between Penn State and the Vidyalankar School of Information Technology in India that allows students from India to combine their first two years of university education in computer science in India with their final two years in information sciences and technology (IST) at PennState York. The first students came to York in 2008 and the program continues to be strong.

In addition, Rodney helped found a multi-campus India Initiative which expanded the two-plus-two program in IST to six additional schools in India and now also includes the following Penn State campuses: Berks, Greater Allegheny, Hazleton, New Kensington, Schuylkill, Worthington Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, as well as York.

Also under Rodney’s leadership, the Pullo Family Performing Arts Center (The Pullo Center) on the campus was completed in 2005 and a theatre minor was added to the curriculum at York. The Edward M. Elias Science Building, featuring updated classroom and lab facilities, opened this summer and renovations are under way to the chemistry labs at the campus which will be transformed into a high-tech engineering facility, the

part of the Broncos for 22 years.

John Elway's long-term vision for the Broncos was torn asunder when, for health reasons, Gary Kubiak abruptly left coaching. Cliff Welch/Icon Sportswire

Last season's offensive coordinator, Rick Dennison, will now call plays for the Buffalo Bills next season. He had been a Broncos player for nine years and a Broncos assistant coach for 17 years.

In Wade Phillips’ extended coaching career, he had eight years with the Broncos on his resume. Special teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis also spent eight years of his coaching career with the Broncos.

Brian Pariani had been a tight ends coach on Shanahan’s staff for 13 years and came back for two more with Kubiak, giving him 15 years with Denver in all. Clancy Barone had been a Broncos assistant onalong the way.

Kubiak did reel in a trophy with the Broncos’ win in Super Bowl 50 last February, but Elway and Kubiak had hoped it would be just the start. However, Kubiak decided he could no longer do the job the way he had done it in the past, while maintaining his health.

And with the hiring of Vance Joseph to replace Kubiak and with Joseph’s decisions about his coaching staff, the band is decidedly no longer back together.

For many of the team’s faithful, the Bronco is still in the middle of it all: Elway. But this is a new look for the Broncos, even with some holdovers from Kubiak's staff.

November 28, 1986|By New York Daily News

NEW YORK — Dennis Egan heard the gasp from the crowd before something from above struck him.

The ''something'' was Diana Mullman, 45, of Manhattan, who fell 40 feet from a fourth-story window ledge at 9:11 a.m. Thursday while watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Miraculously, police said, Mullman's life was saved when she landed on Egan, 39, a Westfield, N.J., resident, who needed eight stitches to close a head wound but was otherwise ''just fine.''

Mullman broke several ribs but was in stable condition at Roosevelt Hospital.

Egan, a researcher for Bell Communications in Morristown, N.J., said he and five of his six children were watching the parade on Central Park West.

''It's a little bit


of a tradition for us and for our neighbors, the Pryors, who were with us,'' said Egan later Thursday as he prepared to enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner delayed somewhat by a trip to the hospital.

''The parade was just starting,'' said Egan. ''The lead car was just coming down and I was holding Danny, my 3-year-old, in front of me so he could see over the crowd.''

Four stories above him at the Prasada, a building at 50 Central Park West, Mullman was sitting and watching the festivities on a narrow window ledge outside the home of a friend, Morton Teich.

Police said Mullman might have dropped a camera she was using and as she went to reach for it, she toppled off the ledge.

Egan's oldest son, Patrick, 15, said, he''saw a stool come down, and then what looked like a camera and then the woman.''

As Egan was struck, Patrick caught Danny, who was uninjured as were members of the Pryor family who felt the women graze them as she landed.

''It looked like a dummy was falling down,'' said Dr. Sheldon Greenspan, who was in the crowd. ''She came down in a heap. Everyone screamed.''

Egan said that as he and Mullman shared an ambulance ride to Roosevelt Hospital, ''She was complaining about her ribs and wasn't really sure what happened. I wasn't sure what happened either, but if I had anything to do with breaking her fall, I'm glad.''

His son, Danny, however, was feeling very sad, Egan said.

''His balloon broke during the incident,'' said Egan. ''He's been crying

The scientists said that a shift toward wetter conditions, perhaps caused by natural shifts in the Earth’s orbit around the sun, led to growth of more trees starting about 2,000 years ago.

The scientists studied man-made earthworks, uncovered by recent logging in Bolivia, that included ditches up to about a kilometer (1,100 yards) long and up to 3 meters deep and 4 meters wide.

They found large amounts of grass pollen in ancient sediments of nearby lakes, suggesting the region had been covered by savannah. They also found evidence of plantings of maize, pointing to farming.

Details of major Internet flaw posted by accident

A computer security company on Monday inadvertently published details of a major flaw in the Internet's DNS several weeks
before they were due to be disclosed

The flaw was
discovered several months ago by IOActive researcher Dan Kaminsky, who
worked through the early part of this year with Internet software
vendors such as Microsoft, Cisco, and the Internet Systems Consortium
to patch the issue.

The
companies released a fix for the bug two weeks ago and encouraged
corporate users and Internet service providers to patch their DNS
systems as soon as possible. Although the problem could affect some
home users, it is not considered to be a major issue for consumers,
according to Kaminsky.

At
the time he announced the flaw, Kaminsky asked members of the security
research community to hold off on public speculation aboutits precise
nature in order to give users time to patch their systems. Kaminsky had
planned to disclose details of the flaw during a presentation at the
Black Hat security conference set for Aug. 6.

Some researchers took the request as a personal challenge to find the flaw before Kaminsky's talk. Others complained at being
kept in the dark about the technical details of his finding.

On Monday, Zynamics.com CEO Thomas Dullien (who uses the hacker name Halvar Flake) took a guess at the bug, admitting that he knew very little about DNS.

His findings were quickly confirmed by Matasano Security, a vendor that had been briefed on the issue.

"The
cat is out of the bag. Yes, Halvar Flake figured out the flaw Dan
Kaminsky will announce at Black Hat," Matasano said in a blog posting
that was


removed within five minutes of its 1:30 p.m. Eastern
publication. Copies of the post were soon circulating on the Internet,
one of which was viewed by IDG News Service.

Matasano's
post discusses the technical details of the bug, saying that by using a
fast Internet connection, an attacker could launch what's known as a
DNS cache poisoning attack against a Domain Name Server and succeed,
for example, in redirecting traffic to malicious Web sites within about
10 seconds.

Matasano
Researcher Thomas Ptacek declined to comment on whether or not Flake
had actually figured out the flaw, but in a telephone interview he said
the item had been "accidentally posted too soon." Ptacek was one of the
few security researchers who had been given a detailed briefing on the
bug and had agreed not to comment on it before details were made
public.

Matasano's postinadvertently confirmed that Flake had described the flaw correctly, Ptacek admitted.

Late Monday, Ptacek apologized
to Kaminsky on his company blog. "We regret that it ran," he wrote. "We
removed it from the blog as soon as we saw it. Unfortunately, it takes
only seconds for Internet publications to spread."

Kaminsky's attack takes advantage of several known DNS bugs, combining them in a novel way, said Cricket Liu vice president
of architecture with DNS appliance vendor Infoblox, after viewing the Matasano post.

The
bug has to do with the way DNS clients and servers obtain information
from other DNS servers on the Internet. When the DNS software does not
know the numerical IP address of a computer, it asks another DNS server
for this information. With cache poisoning, the attacker tricks the DNS

The Oregonian newspaper reported about an hour before the Thursday's NBA draft started that Pritchard had been dismissed. The team confirmed the firing at the conclusion of the night.

"This process was more public and took longer than any of us would have liked, but that was indicative of how critical a decision this was for the franchise," Allen said in a statement. "We want to thank and acknowledge Kevin for his solid work in getting us to where we are today. Parting ways with a popular general manager is not something we take lightly.

Jemele Hill and Michael Smith debate on SC6 whether Phil Jackson is trying to drive Carmelo Anthony out of New York, if Phil has had enough and needs to go or do they just make the best of the situation. (2:02)

NEW YORK -- With the Knicks' off-court drama continuing to stir, even before Charles Oakley's arrest at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night, one celebrity fan said it's time for a change at the top, while the team's coach said none of it comes as a surprise.

Legendary director and superfan Spike Lee didn't hesitate when asked if he would choose to keep team president Phil Jackson or star forward Carmelo Anthony with the franchise.

"I'll pack Phil's bags for him," Lee told Tencent-ESPN's Steve Zeng.

The latest Jackson-Anthony drama stemsfrom Jackson's tweet Tuesday that referenced a column published on Bleacher Report that was critical of Anthony.

"I think I still believe in Carmelo, but Phil Jackson is making it very difficult for him," Lee told Tencent-ESPN on Wednesday.

First-year Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek, meanwhile, said he hasn't been surprised by any of the off-court drama in his first three-plus months on the job.

"I kind of, not was warned, but it was expected that it was going to be something all the time," Hornacek said before the Knicks' 119-115 loss to the LA Clippers on Wednesday. "And it's lived up to the billing. It's been something all year. So, OK, let's go play a game and try to win."

More strife surfaced Wednesday in the first quarter, when Oakley, a former


longtime Knicks forward, was arrested after he was involved in an altercation near the courtside floor seats where owner James Dolan was sitting.

Oakley's arrest might take some of the attention off Jackson, who has -- directly or indirectly -- delivered several critiques of Anthony this season. He and the Knicks have also shopped Anthony to other teams in trade talks. The Knicks have reached out to the Cavaliers, but Cleveland has rebuffed the Knicks' request of Kevin Love in a trade, sources told ESPN's Marc Stein and Chris Haynes.

The Knicks have also discussed potential Anthony deals with the Clippers and Boston Celtics, sources told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne and Stein.

Hornacek has acknowledged that the trade talks were initially a bit of a distraction to players. He said Wednesday thatand the Knicks, in part, "can't want for Anthony what he doesn't want deeply enough for himself."

In his tweet, Jackson referenced Michael Graham, a talented player from Georgetown whom Jackson coached in the Continental Basketball Association. Graham and Jackson got into an argument in the middle of a game on New Year's Eve in 1986, according to a profile of Graham in The Washingtonian. Days after the incident, Jackson's team, the Albany Patroons, released Graham.

Jackson referenced Graham in his memoir, according to The Washingtonian, and noted that he had difficulty reaching him.

"Nothing I said made any difference," Jackson wrote. "Whenever I tried to talk to him, his eyes would glaze over and he'd retreat to some dark inner corner nobody could penetrate."

That Jackson compared Graham to Anthony, whom

Prosecutors: New Jersey Daycare Ran 'Fight Club' With Young Children

Two New Jersey daycare workers face charges after reportedly staging a "fight club" with preschoolers and kindergartners in August.

CBS reports that 22-year-old Erica Kenny and 28-year-old Chanese White encouraged the young children to fight each other on the playground at Lightbridge Academy daycare in Cranford, New Jersey, for pure pleasure.

Acting Union County Prosecutor Grace Park said that the so-called "fight club" consisted of "about a dozen children -- boys and girls between the ages four and six -- just fighting; throwing each other to the ground; hitting each other."

Kenny allegedly recorded the fights and sent the videos to a group on Snapchat. Although the app typically deletes videos after 10 seconds, authorities found one that somebody saved.

The group


allegedly fought on August 13th, and investigators hope to determine whether the fights happened more than once.

"Most parents would be astonished by the behavior," Park said.

In the videos, the boys and girls push each other to the ground and try to hit one another, prosecutors said.

The strangest part of this case is that there have been several like it in recent years. NJ.com reports that there were three near-identical cases in Delaware, Texas, and Ohio, respectively.

In each case, adults encouraged young children to fight at daycare and took videos of it. They cheered on the violent behavior but made sure that the kids followed a set of rules.

"No pinching, only punching," one Delaware daycare worker said, when a fighting 3-year-old complained that their opponent was fighting dirty.

In theColin Howell ‘was terrified knife sect wanted to kill him’

Double killer Colin Howell was tormented by dreams of demons and Satan and feared he would be the victim of a “ritualistic” killing in prison.

Coleraine Times editor David Rankin reveals for the first time the explosive findings of consultant psychiatrist Dr Helen Harbinson, who interviewed double killer Colin Howell over a period of a year in Maghaberry Prison

The 57-year-old former dentist heard voices in his head and believed God was punishing him for killing his wife Lesley and policeman Trevor Buchanan in 1991 and making their deaths look like a bizarre suicide pact.

After being charged with their murders in 2009, as well as a number of indecent assaults of female patients in his Ballymoney dental practice, Howell had a


psychotic meltdown during his early days at Maghaberry Prison.

He suffered a series of terrifying delusions, was deeply paranoid that he was being watched by a “system” controlled by God and was haunted he would suffer a brutal death at the hands of a violent knife-wielding sect.

In a report in this week’s Coleraine Times, the newspaper has revealed for the first time the findings of a series of psychiatric reports carried out on the father of nine while he was in prison by Consultant Psychiatrist Dr Helen Harbinson.

Dr Harbinson had been instructed by Howell’s solicitors Trevor Smyth and Co in Belfast, to examine Howell’s mental state and assess his fitness for further police interviews in May 2009.

Over a year she carried out six interviews, initially encountering a broken, incoherentman, who was tormented by his sins and who was unable to escape from a dream world occupied by demons and conspirators.

Interviewing the killer in the prison hospital’s psychiatric ward for the first time, Dr Harbinson wrote: “He describes vivid dreams of ‘destruction, hell and demons’.

“He is ‘tormented’ during the day. He believes that ‘everything has a meaning’. The meaning relates to his destruction. He is selfish, egocentric and lazy. He believes ‘my whole life has been on television’. He described a film called the Truman Show staring Jim Carey. The chief character in this film was on television from his birth onwards, but did not discover this until his mid forties.

“He was the only one who did not know he was on TV. Mr Howell believes his


explain what he meant. He told me he was not sure whether he was like Noah who rescued a small number of people, or Moses who rescued a whole nation. I asked if he believed he deserved to be punished for killing his first wife. He said ‘I didn’t go back that far’, paused, then said, ‘and the other guy, Trevor’.

“He said: ‘I include the two murders in the billions, it’s all wrapped up in the one.’ He believes the System will set him up. He is not sure whether he has been set up already or not. He would not know, as information he gets is controlled. God is behind this System.”

On direct questioning Howell admitted to hearing a voice inside his head and that of hisprovided by a program like Orchid Recovery Center, and the earlier, the better. Studies show that those who first use marijuana before the age of 17 are more likely to have serious problems with drug and alcohol addiction later in life. At Orchid Recovery Center, teenaged women, older women, and women of all ages are welcome to join us in the pursuit of a life free from marijuana addiction.

The Taifun is an all glass-fibre low-wing cantilever monoplane with a T-tail and side-by-side seating for two occupants. It has a manually operated retractable tricycle landing gear. The Taifun is powered originally by an 80 hp (60 kW) Limbach L2000EB (Volkswagen) engine with later production aircraft being fitted with 90 hp (67 kW) Limbach L2400EB engine. The wings fold back along the fuselage sides for transportation and storage. The prototype, registered D-KONO, first flew on the 28 February 1981. The main production aircraft had a 17-metre wingspan and was designated the Taifun 17E. Two examples of aircraft with a 12-metre wingspan were built as the Taifun 12E which were classed as light-aircraftCriminal charges have been dropped against a Niagara police officer accused of shooting another officer in rural Pelham, Ont., last year.

Christian Bale has travelled to Aurora, Colorado to meet with those involved in the movie theatre shootings.

The actor decided to make a personal visit to offer his condolences to victims and their families following the deadly cinema rampage on Friday morning (20.07.12) at a screening for his new movie 'The Dark Knight Rises'.

An assistant for Susan Fleishman, executive vice president for Warner Bros. corporate communications told denverpost.com: "Mr. Bale is there as himself, not representing Warner Brothers."

Emperor Akihito and Crown Prince Naruhito will be informed of the new Imperial era’s name before it is made public April 1, informed sources said Sunday.

The government thinks it is best to inform them beforehand because Emperor Akihito will sign a decree recognizing the new era name prior to its promulgation and implementation on May 1, when Crown Prince Naruhito ascends the throne, the sources said.

The officials overseeing the process are considering having Prime Minister Shinzo Abe present the name directly to both the Emperor and the Crown Prince once it has been decided on, according to the sources close to Abe.

They will seek advice from the Cabinet Legislation Bureau to set a specific reporting


from Showa, the government divulged the new Heisei era name to Emperor Akihito through the grand steward of the Imperial Household Agency before making it public.

This time, the government decided to announce the new era name a month before the Imperial succession, even though some Liberal Democratic Party lawmakers and the Japan Conference, a Shinto-linked conservative group backing Abe, called for it to be announced after the enthronement.

The idea of reporting the new era name to both the Emperor and the Crown Prince beforehand was devised partly as a response to concerns among conservatives that a prior announcement may defy the tradition of assigning only one era name to each Emperor.This copy is for your personal non-commercial use only.

Matt Daly, who spent five seasons in the Blue Jays minor-league system, is one of 32 former minor-league players suing Major League Baseball for failing to


pay minimum wage and overtime over the course of their career.

Garrett Broshius is the lawyer representing 32 former minor-league baseball players suing Major League Baseball. He spent six seasons in minor-league baseball in the San Francisco Giants' farm system.

CLINTON, IOWA—Kevin Costner’s Field of Dreams is just an hour and a half northwest of here. That old corn field from which he carved a supernatural baseball diamond is a little ways up the Mississippi, near Dyersville, Iowa, where it stands today as a tourist attraction, preserved to look just like it did in the movie.

Down here in Clinton, a shrinking factory town that’s home to the minor-league LumberKings, sits a field for a more earthly dream, though equally romantic.

“It’s an amazing feeling to be one step closer to myultimate goal in life,” says Eddie Campbell, an earnest, 22-year-old starting pitcher for the LumberKings. “And that’s to play Major League Baseball.”

The minor leagues are often glorified as a simpler, less corrupt version of America’s national pastime, where the game is unadulterated by fame or money and where long bus rides build character. But behind the pastoral charm is a less idealized reality: that it operates on the backs of workers earning poverty wages.

The LumberKings, named for the millionaire timber barons who once ran this town, are the Class-A affiliate of the Seattle Mariners, who, like every other major-league team, pay their A-level minor leaguers roughly $6,300 for the five-month season — about two-thirds what Jose Bautista makes per inning.

Matt Daly is one of the former minor leaguers who joined the lawsuit earlier this year. He played five seasons in the Blue Jays’ farm system from 2008 to 2012 — earning less than $40,000 over his entire minor-league career — and remembers how quickly he became disillusioned with the life. “Everything seems glamorous and amazing when you’re a professional athlete. Then I got there and saw how different it was.”

Daly worked off-season jobs and lived in cramped apartments to make ends meet. After the birth of his first child in 2010, his in-laws paid the rent at the Dunedin, Fla., apartment hein 2012. Miller, a former executive director of the big-league players’ union who negotiated baseball’s first collective bargaining agreement in 1968, said the fear of being blackballed had long deterred any organizing by minor leaguers.

By contrast, baseball’s minor-league peers in professional hockey have been unionized for nearly 50 years. In 1967, Mark Messier’s father, Doug, hired a lawyer and rallied his Portland Buckaroo teammates to fight for higher salaries and better health care. From there, the Professional Hockey Players’ Association was born and the union now represents 1,600 players in the American Hockey League, East Coast Hockey League and the Central Hockey League.

The difference in salary compared to their baseball counterparts is stark.

In the AHL, which is one step below the NHL, the minimum salary is $45,000, while

According to the NIGCOMSAT boss, Africa remains the least wired continent in the world today “in terms of robust telecommunications infrastructure and systems to cater for its nearly one billion population”. This underscores the reason for high demand in the form of communication satellites and variants of terrestrial wireless systems more than in any other continent for the sole purpose of bridging its digital hiatus, complementing the group of inadequate terrestrial ICT infrastructure in the rural areas, swampy and landlocked terrains thus playing asatellite began on March 19, 2012 after a successful In-Orbit Test (IOT) and In-Orbit Delivery (IOD) with modest achievement in terms of improving and driving national broadband access in homes, offices, businesses, schools in Nigeria as well as prospects and potentials outside Nigeria.

[New concepts in epidemiological surveillance in French army].
Epidemiological surveillance within the French Armed Forces has had to take into account various changes in infectious diseases in recent years. The French Armed Forces are encountering new hazards, such as the spread of HIV infection, Plasmodium falciparum chemoresistance, and outbreaks of emerging diseases. Bioterrorism, industrial and occupational hazards are added concerns. For these reasons, the French Military Medical Service has introduced a new concept based on permanent epidemiological surveillance of communicable diseases. This is completed by a real-time spatial surveillance designed to detect very rapidly potential communicable diseases or new emerging diseases. This epidemiological system, based on data modeling, enhances the medical information available to staff commands before deployment to new areas.running an overflow and The Public Housing waiting list has surpassed 21,000 people with only 9,000 units in their inventory.

this benefit concert. Get your tickets now.

Music is a bridge that can bring awareness and spur action. Emerging from Phil Collins's installation, my heart's in my hand..., currently on view at MOCA Cleveland, this special concert seeks to generate attention and support to help improve the conditions for homeless people in Cleveland. Benefitting Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless (NEOCH), the concert will feature musicians and bands from here and beyond who address social issues in their music and practice. The event will be held at Beachland Ballroom, a venue that has long provided a stage for musicians who inspire change.

According to NEOCH, every homeless shelter in Cleveland is full every night, with most functioning at overflow. In 2016, Cleveland's Coordinated Intake Center, which serves individuals and familieswere purged from the voting rolls. Therefore, speaking out against the practices challenged in the Husted lawsuit - in which NEOCH is a plaintiff - is a necessary piece of our mission and work to ensure long-term success and prevent those struggling with housing from feeling disempowered in our democratic system.

Ohio's county boards of elections used a "supplemental process," under the direction of Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, that, for example, unfairly purged hundreds of thousands of otherwise eligible voters in 2015 from the Ohio voter rolls who had not voted in an election since 2008. More than 40,000 citizens were removed in Cuyahoga County alone.

Furthermore, voters were notified by mail and those who did not affirmatively respond triggered the process, which could lead to their ultimate
