reputation quickly began to sour. To the ire of President Roslin and the civilian population, Admiral Cain repeatedly failed to send equipment to the civilian ships, focusing only on resupplying Galactica. Problems also developed between Admiral Cain and Commander Adama over the re-assignment of senior officers for reasons directly relating to his personal command style, having failed to adequately punish officers such as Captains Adama and Thrace for infractions due to a crew shortage. Problems also emerged between Galactica's existing crew and those transferred from Pegasus, due to the revelations that a number of crew members had taken part in the systematic torture and rape of Gina. This dispute itself led to the killing of Lt. Alastair Thorne by Lt. Karl Agathon and Deck Chief Galen Tyrol ashe prepared to rape a Cylon prisoner on Galactica. This incident resulted in the arrest of Lt. Agathon and Chief Tyrol, and their transfer to Pegasus pending execution. Commander Adama failed to persuade Admiral Cain to spare the men, scrambled Galactica's pilots to stage a rescue operation, leading to Pegasus launching its Vipers in response.[3] The stand-off ended when Lieutenant Starbuck reappeared from an unauthorized recon mission aboard the stealth Blackbird with photos of a mysterious Cylon ship being guarded by two Basestars. Interrogation of Pegasus' Cylon prisoner identified the mysterious ship as a "Resurrection Ship", wherein Raiders and Humanoid Cylons were downloaded into new bodies. Although Adama and Cain declare an uneasy truce in order to coordinate an attack on the Cylons, they make plans to assassinate


each other, which was called off after the Resurrection Ship was destroyed. Admiral Cain, however, was soon after assassinated by Gina after escaping her cell.

In the aftermath of Cain's death, Commander Adama was promoted to the rank of Admiral by President Roslin, while Colonel Fisk was promoted to Commander and given command of Pegasus. During Fisk's command, officers on Pegasus became involved in the black market, and Fisk was able to gain influence due to his position, even going as far as to bribe Galactica's Colonel Tigh and Vice President Gaius Baltar with supplies. Soon after, however, Fisk was murdered by rival black marketeers, who were able to enter his quarters as guests. Following the death of Commander Fisk, Chief Engineer Barry Garner was given the new position.Commander Garner's own style of leadership caused new problems, as he developed megalomaniac and paranoid tendencies which frightened Pegasus' crew into total obedience. Against the advise of his XO, Major Adama, Garner ordered Pegasus to jump to a binary star system in search of a missing Raptor crew against Admiral Adama's orders. This turned out to be an ambush by Cylon forces, and Pegasus took heavy damage as a result, with Commander Garner dying after leaving CIC to perform maintenance only he was skilled enough to perform. Following Pegasus' return to the fleet, Major Adama was promoted to the rank of Commander.

As the first mission with its new commander, Pegasus was sent to search for a missing Raptor science team and came under attack from a force of


First Cylon War era fighters. Pegasus was unable to leave due to problems with its FTL drive, but quickly fixed the problems and left, but not before Kara Thrace shot down an enemy fighter in the landing pod. Learning of the Guardians from Galactica's Cylon prisoner, "Sharon" and the First Hybrid, Admiral Adama accompanied Pegasus on the rescue mission. The mission was a success, with the Guardian Basestar and First Hybrid destroyed, but Pegasus' XO, Major Kendra Shaw, was killed.

In the weeks following the operation, the fleet discoverd a habitable world and began to colonize "New Caprica". Pegasus and Galactica, with skeleton crews, formed an orbital defense network over the new colony. However, when the colony was discovered a year later by a Cylon fleet they were forcedto abandon the colony and jump away.

Pegasus is destroyed in action during the third-season episode "Exodus, Part 2". Disobeying orders from Admiral Adama to protect the civilians that first escape the Cylon occupation in the second season episode " Lay Down Your Burdens Part ll ", Apollo leaves all of his Viper squadrons with the civilian ships, along with most of the crew. Apollo is able to divert the attention of the four Cylon Basestars attacking Galactica after FTL jumping to New Caprica. The older battlestar continues to cover the evacuation of the New Caprica colonists. This distraction allows time for Galactica's FTL drives to be repaired and the planet-bound colonists to reach their ships and escape.

One Cylon Basestar is critically damaged by Pegasus' forward main batteries as


Seven Hills sues over water supply

The lawsuit says Florida Water Services isn't providing enough water for the subdivision.

SPRING HILL -- Seven Hills Inc. has filed a lawsuit against Florida Water Services, alleging that the company is not providing enough water for the development.

Some people have purchased homes in Seven Hills but cannot move in because they have no water service, the lawsuit says. Seven Hills is about half built, and the rest of the development has no future without water, developers said.

"We would like to see Florida Water Services fulfill their obligations," said Lew Friedland, developer of Seven Hills. The suit asks for more than $2.7-million in damages.

Attorney Joe Mason, who represents Florida Water Services, said the situation is not the company's fault. He said Florida Water hassaid he has been happy with Florida Water's service in the past. And he knows the company has had its problems with Hernando County.

However, Florida Water has failed to doggedly pursue other options and continues to breach its contract, the lawsuit says.

"There is an actual, present and immediate need," the lawsuit says.

Florida Water, which serves about 33,000 customers in Hernando County, has 19 water supply wells, and the last was drilled in 1996. Since then, the population of Spring Hill has increased by almost 19 percent. During that same period, the average monthly output of the utility has increased more than 32 percent.

Strain on the system has materialized in several ways.

The state Department of Environmental Protection last year denied an application by developers of the Wellington subdivision, part


Plymouth, Wisconsin, styles itself as “the cheese capital of the world”. The town of 8,445 people, about an hour north of Milwaukee, was once the site of the National Cheese Exchange where cheese commodity prices were set and today about 15% of all US cheese passes through the town.

Now Plymouth residents are worried they will become one of the first big victims of Donald Trump’s escalating trade war. In retaliation for his administration’s tariffs on steel and aluminium, the US’s largest trading partners, Canada, China, the EU and Mexico, have all targeted the cheese industry with regulations and extra duties and this week raised the stakes, adding more duties as the threat of an all-out trade war grows.

Cheese may seem an unlikely target for an international trade dispute.From TaKe's couch to South America

Before 2010, five instances of imported Lassa virus were recorded in persons from West Africa to the United States. Although early instances involved sick persons who were airlifted to the United States for diagnosis and treatment ([@R7]*--*[@R9]), the 2 most recent occurrences (1989 and 2004) involved persons who were not identified as potentially infectious until healthcare was sought in the United States ([@R10]*,*[@R11]). Here we report a case in a person who became infected and sick during a trip to Liberia and sought care upon return to the United States.

The Case
========

A Liberian man 47 years of age living in the United States traveled to Liberia in January 2010. He arrived in


investigation was undertaken by the hospital and local, state, federal, and international health agencies. Exposed persons were identified as any persons who potentially came into contact with the patient or his body fluids during his illness. Because no contacts had direct exposure to body fluids (other than the patient's wife in Africa with whom he had sexual intercourse before becoming ill and who remained well, according to telephone follow-up with the patient), no patient contacts were considered high risk for secondary transmission ([@R10]). In total, 140 persons, including the patient's family in the United States, co-workers, and hospital workers who had contact with him (but did not have direct contact with bodily fluids) were identified as low-risk contacts. Health communication materials were developed on the basis of previousORLANDO, Fla. (November 2, 2016) - Following its inaugural season in the United Soccer League (USL), Orlando City B has re-signed defender Zach Ellis-Hayden and goalkeeper Jake Fenlason to new contracts, pending USL and federation approval. OCB captain Lewis Neal, midfielder Pierre Da Silva and forward Michael Cox will return to the team on existing contracts for the 2017 season.

Additionally, OCB has declined the contract options on goalkeeper Mark Ridgers, defenders Kyle McFadden, Craig Nitti and Antonio Matarazzo, midfielders Alejandro Garcia, Johnny Mendoza, Marius Obekop and Andrew Ribeiro, and forwards William Eyang and Keegan Smith.

“I'd like to thank the guys who are moving on for all their hard work and the way they represented OCB so well to help us reach the playoffs in our inaugural season,” OCB


Head Coach Anthony Pulis said. “I have great respect for all of them and wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors.”

Ellis-Hayden, 24, registered an outstanding season with OCB. After starting the first three games of the season, Ellis-Hayden worked his way back into the lineup in June and started all but two of the Lions’ final 18 games, including their USL Cup first-round playoff match. The right back contributed to four of OCB’s five clean sheets and earned two assists.

Fenlason, 23, spent much of 2016, his first year as a professional, in a back-up roll after enjoying a successful collegiate career at the University of Akron. In 2014, Fenlason was a first-team All-Mid-American Conference selection after starting all 21 games for the Zips and leadingthe conference in saves (73) and shutouts (7). In 2015, Fenlason played every minute for Akron and posted nine clean sheets en route to the NCAA Final Four.

Neal earned 23 starts in 25 matches this season for OCB. The 35-year-old MLS veteran captained the young Lions this season and scored two goals and two assists, including a stunning strike from distance to ice the playoff-clinching win in Bethlehem.

Cox, 24, enjoyed an excellent season with the Lions. The Calgary, Alberta, native started 24 of his 29 matches for OCB and led all outfield players in minutes. Cox also led the team with 11 goals and contributed three assists, including the game-winning assist to clinch a playoff berth in the regular season finale.

management in a digital environment and for designing the next recordkeeping audit round.

Feedback on the Standard has been positive. Its simplified nature, in conjunction with clearly articulated minimum compliance requirements, will assist public offices and local authorities to improve their management of information and records.

The release of the Standard was accompanied by a suite of supporting material including an Implementation guide, which brings together references to Archives’ guidance and other best practice information. The on-line Records Toolkit was also updated and is the main source for the Standard and supporting guidance.

A key innovation in the new Standard is the requirement for public offices and local authorities to appoint an Executive Sponsor from among their senior leadership. This is to reinforce the responsibility of senior management in public officesand local authorities to provide direction and support for information and records management within their organisation. The Executive Sponsor is expected to champion the importance of information and records among the organisation’s leadership. The aim is for everyone in an organisation to see information and records management as an integral part of a business operating effectively.

In addition to specific guidance for Executive Sponsors released with the Standard, a programme of briefings by the Chief Archivist and the Director Government Recordkeeping is underway throughout the country with Executive Sponsors, either individually or in small groups with local or sectoral connections. The programme is designed to ensure Executive Sponsors understand the intentions for the role.

In 2015/16 Archives reviewed the process used for the recordkeeping audit programme, following the completion of


the first five year programme in 2014/15. Archives surveyed the public offices that had been audited on the usefulness, design and delivery of audits. There were follow up discussions with some public offices, and views were sought from relevant Archives staff and the independent auditors that undertook the onsite components of the audits.

The review found that the programme had been useful in raising public offices’ levels of awareness of their responsibilities under the Act. It had provided a baseline of information about capability and practices at the time of each audit. The programme had, however, been less useful in raising public offices’ levels of awareness of the business risks arising when information and records management was not effective. The programme was not considered generally effective as a tooldisposal authority and its disposal actions to records. These actions will generally be to destroy, retain for a specified period, or transfer to Archives.

The very large volume of records generated in digital systems multiplies the complexity of sentencing. The multiple sources of the legacy information in this trial made systematic sentencing challenging for the public office. Despite the care taken in previous content migrations, large sections of these legacy records lacked the metadata required as a foundation for successful sentencing and transfer. The content, nature and value of the records could not be determined with sufficient confidence to sentence accurately.

In a born-digital environment, most system users create and manage information and records. The experience of the partner public office indicates that information and records management processes will differ


some regulatory work, including advice functions, to continue. There were, however, delays in the December 2016 and March 2017 releases of guidance and information. The Chief Archivist’s programme of engagement with Executive Sponsors in public offices and local authorities was also disrupted. This resumed in February 2017.

After the earthquake, Archives’ maintained contact with the information management staff of public offices unable to enter premises in Wellington. These include the New Zealand Customs Service, Statistics New Zealand, the Ministry of Transport, the New Zealand Defence Force and the Ministry of Defence. To date, no irretrievable loss of physical or digital records or information has been reported. Some physical records remain in buildings that have not been re-entered. As re-entry, repair and demolition plans are confirmed, public offices are expectedoffices (except schools) and local authorities in three tranches in late 2016 and early 2017.2 The short survey sought a whole-of-system view of information and records management. It is intended to inform the next steps we will take to drive effective information and records management. The survey sought information about:

the volumes and types of records being created and managed in government

the capabilities and capacities that exist to manage records, both current and legacy

the ability of public offices to prepare for the transfer of digital records to Archives.

Analysis of the survey results is still under way, but indications of matters that should be pursued come from the raw results for the first tranche of surveyed public offices:

57% had no current information asset register, or similar, 18% had one and


The mandate of the Act is broad. It covers public offices, which are defined in section 2 as “the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of the Government of New Zealand”. This includes state and integrated schools, numbering approximately 2,500. The Act also covers all local authorities and most of their related council-controlled entities.

For many years, Tiamat, the Queen of Evil Dragons, has reigned supreme as the pinnacle of epic foes on TorilMUD. Today, a new challenger approaches.

The God of Dragons. The Justice Bringer. The Angel of the Seven Heavens. The Platinum Dragon. These are just some of Bahamut's many titles.

Bahamut is the king of the good dragons, and the eternal rival of his sister, Tiamat. He can be found on Lunia, the first layer of Celestia, where he guards an enormous treasure trove. A mysterious dragonspawn has also been spotted lurking in the shadows of an old forest, with needs as dark as the most vile desires.

Bahamut is the second epic zone added to Toril and is intended for 20-30 players. It will present a challenge every bit as difficultJohn Russell Russell, 1st Earl

Russell, John Russell, 1st Earl, 1792–1878, British statesman; younger son of the 6th duke of Bedford, known most of his life as Lord John Russell. He became a Whig member of Parliament in 1813 and soon began his long career as a liberal reformer. He worked for Catholic Emancipation, leading the attack on the Test and Corporation acts, which were repealed in 1828. As paymaster general in the ministry of the 2d Earl Grey, Russell helped prepare and introduce the Reform Bill of 1832 (see under Reform Acts). His advocacy of the reduction of Irish church revenues helped bring down the Whig government in 1834, but when the Whigs returned to power (1835), Russell became home secretary and later secretary for war and the


colonies (1839). In the meantime he had given the name to the newly emerging Liberal party and become one of its chief spokesmen. Russell led the opposition during the second ministry (1841–46) of Sir Robert Peel and, following the repeal of the corn laws (which Russell supported), succeeded him as prime minister. During his ministry Russell used public works, grants, and other relief to help the Irish during the potato famine and supported the bill (1847) that limited the working day to 10 hr for many laborers. In 1851 he demanded the resignation of his foreign secretary, Viscount Palmerston, for his unauthorized approval of Napoleon III's coup in France, and the following year Palmerston helped secure the fall of Russell's ministry. Russell served (1852–55) in Lord Aberdeen's coalitiongovernment and represented (1855) England at Vienna in an unsuccessful conference to end the Crimean War. He was reconciled with Palmerston and, as his foreign secretary (1859–65), vigorously advocated neutrality in the American Civil War and supported the Risorgimento in Italy. He had been made an earl in 1861 and became prime minister again on Palmerston's death in 1865. For many years an advocate of further parliamentary reform, he attempted to push through a new Reform Bill, but the bill was defeated and caused the fall of his ministry in 1866. Among Russell's literary and historical writings are a translation of Schiller's Don Carlos and biographies of Lord William Russell (1819) and of Charles James Fox (3 vol., 1853–57).

Transcript of English society during 1600's and 1700's

Protestantism encompasses forms of Christian faith and practice that originated with doctrines and religious, political impulses of the Protestant Reformation against what they considered the errors of the Roman Catholic Church.English society in the 17th century During the 17th century the population of England and Whales was growing steadily. It grew to 4 million end of 16th century and 5.5 million by end of 17 century. English people grew richer due to increase in trade and commerce. English colonies also improved standard of english people.POPULATIONIn society upper and upper middle class could afford lavish clothing, country houses in fine towns, food from foreign countries. Skilled craftsmen earned good amount of money for their work but


people in agriculture suffered a lot and did not get enough for their work.Life in English societyKnowledge of anatomy improved and doctors began to learn about body fluids. London fire in 1666 protected London from diseases by moving or killing rats away from London. Doctors used to wear clothes with long nose to protect themselves from plague. Average life span was 35 years.Both boys and girls used to go to infant schools. Boys then go to grammar school and learn different subjects. Upper class girls were taught by the tutors while middle class girls were taught by their mother. women subjects include writing, music and needlework.Education Due to England colonizing policy and trade England got rich sources of new fruits and spices. New drinks were introduced like teaand coffee. Poor people cold not afford much so they ate bread cheese and onions.DIETChristianity was still main religion but Protestant people were found in England and only few roman catholic people lived there. Roman catholic did not have much rights. Protestantism became major religion of England.ReligionLondon was a major financial center. Areas near London Norwich, Birmingham, Bristol, Glasgow and Edinburgh were major regions for textile production and metal manufacturing.EconomyClothingHealthEnglish colonies in 17th century Starched collars called ruffs were wore by men. They also wore stockings and boots. they wore linen shirts and jackets known as doublets with cape on top.Men clothing'sWomen used to wore linen garments called shift. Over it they wore long dresses. Dress was in two parts bodice and skirts. Sometimes they wore two skirts.


The Twentieth as a commemoration / assembly date was established by the ancient Epicureans in memory of Epicurus and Metrodorus.

The background of this event is as follows:

From the will of Epicurus in Diogenes Laertius:

"The income of the property left by me to Amynomachus and Timocrates shall be divided by them as far as possible, with the advice of Hermarchus, for the offerings in honor of my father and mother and brothers, and for the customary celebration of my birthday every year on the tenth of Gamelion, and likewise for the assembly of my disciples which takes place on the twentieth of each month, having been established in recollection of myself and Metrodorus . Let them also keep the day of my brothers in Poseideon and the day ofof the plaintiffs on the rent, from the judgment against it on its counterclaim for reformation and on its denial of attorney fees. The plaintiffs cross-appeal from the order limiting their damage award to a period of two years, from the order denying them prejudgment interest from the date when percentage rent was "due" and from the order reducing their claim for attorney and accountant fees and denying their claim for paralegal fees. They do not appeal from the order denying their claim as to other charges.
The parties entered into a 15-year lease in 1962 under which the defendant rented the first five floors of the Store. The term was August 1, 1964, to July 31, 1979. The first four floors were used for retail sales while the


fifth contained offices. The 1962 lease (Primary Lease) required the defendant to pay, in addition to a fixed amount, a *1051 percentage of the gross sales "made in, at or from" the demised premises.
The lease also provided that the store was to be used for the "manufacturing, remodeling, storing, cleaning, sale and display of women's and misses' wearing apparel and women's and misses' wearing apparel accessories of every character and description and for the performance of incidental and related services." It added that, since the rental payable was in part based upon the volume of gross sales, the defendant would at all times conduct the premises as "primarily a store for the sale at retail of women's and misses' wearing apparel."
When the defendant needed more space in thebuilding, it entered into additional leases for a particular area in the building. Those leases were called side or supplemental leases. Some of those leases were expressly for uses like display, storage of office supplies, photography, a computer room, storage of furs, executive offices, personnel and general offices. The rest of those leases provided that their purpose was the same as the purpose of the Primary Lease. Almost all of those leases were made subject to all of the terms of the Primary Lease.
In January 1977, the parties began negotiations for a new lease in anticipation of the July 31, 1979, expiration of the 1962 Primary Lease. The negotiations continued over a period of several months, producing several letters and drafts before the final agreement was executed on


March 7, 1978. The lease included all of the demised premises which had previously been covered by 16 leases.
In 1979 or 1980 the defendant began selling furs to institutional or wholesale customers at markups of 20% to 25%. By fiscal year 1984 such sales had grown to about $4 million per year.
After the new lease had been in effect for several years, the plaintiffs' accounting firm examined the defendant's books and discovered that the defendant was making wholesale shipments from the Store but was not including them in the gross sales statements it was required to furnish. The plaintiffs notified the defendant of their claim, and the defendant responded, as it does here, that "gross sales" did not include furs sold at wholesale and shipped from the Storesales were included in gross sales.
*1053 The wholesale operation began in 1979 or 1980. It was based on long-term contracts with institutional customers, requiring the customer to purchase a guaranteed amount of merchandise each year. Two locations were involved; one in New York City and the other at the Store. Customers could view a line of furs as presented in showrooms at the New York facility, at which wholesale buyers could meet with the defendant's representatives and have orders written up after making the selection.
At the same time the defendant established a wholesale division at the 13th floor of the Store. The furs for wholesale sales were kept in storage principally on the 13th floor. The long-term contracts were drafted and executed by the defendant's corporate counsel in


offices at the Store. Customers did not execute those contracts at the Store but at some other location, such as their own stores. There was no showroom facility at the Store. Many of the customers selected the merchandise after viewing it in New York. Others made their selections from photographs or prior knowledge of the merchandise. About half of all such sales, imported furs, were shipped from the Store; the other half, domestic furs, were shipped from New York. The contract provided that title passed FOB when the goods were delivered to the carrier for shipment and that the defendant bore the risk of loss while the merchandise was on the dock prior to the carrier taking possession.
The New York facility employed 25 persons, 3 of whom workedpart time on wholesale sales. The Chicago store had three full-time employees working on wholesale sales under the supervision of a wholesale manager who procured wholesale accounts and maintained existing ones. He identified several wholesale orders addressed to "Evans Wholesale Division" at 36 South State Street. An invoice was introduced in evidence which had printed on it "Evans Wholesale Division 36 South State Street." Whenever the Chicago office received a copy of an order, it sent the original to the New York office. Both New York and Chicago offices received copies of all the purchase orders. The personnel at the Store processed orders and verified that they were shipped as ordered.
The wholesale agreements provided for a twice-yearly caravan to be held at the Store. A caravan is a


passing of title occurred when the goods were delivered to the carrier. Therefore, since the sale consists of passing of title, and title passed at the point of delivery to the carrier, the wholesale sales delivered to the carrier in Chicago occurred in Chicago, not New York, whether or not the purchase orders were "accepted" in New York, as the defendant urges.
The defendant's argument ignores the fact that the defendant's wholesale manager testified that it had no control where the wholesale accounts sent their purchase orders. In any event, a large number of orders were received in Chicago and the merchandise was then shipped pursuant to the Chicago order. New York simply received a copy of that order.
While not necessary to our decision, we feel obliged to expresssome doubt that the purchase orders represented "offers" requiring "acceptance" by the defendant either at Chicago or New York. The parties had already entered into contracts which required the buyers to purchase a minimum amount of furs in a certain period. It is fairly arguable that the purchaser's order constituted an acceptance.
The defendant argues that title passed when the furs were delivered to the carrier at the loading dock of the building which was not part of the demised premises. Therefore, it contends, the sale was not in, at or from the Store. The lease, however, gives the defendant the right to use the loading dock. That establishes that the sale was made at least "from" the Store.

a month with fish from the lake, according to several people who attended the meeting. Minutes from the meeting say that Robert Nyumah discussed "the widespread/regular consumption of Onondaga Lake fish that are under fish consumption advisories."

Kazi Gautam, chairman of the Bhutanese Community in Syracuse, said members of his community eat fish from Onondaga Lake, even though he tries to warn them of the advisories.

Onondaga County will post the signs on the left along Onondaga Lake. The city of Syracuse will post the sign on the right along city shoreline. Refugees and others are eating fish from the lake even though the fish may contain mercury.

"Some people still go there," Gautam said. "It's the most common location."

The state health department in 2014 said it would take blood samplesothers about the hazards of eating fish from the lake. The city's signs will be ready to install in a week or two, said Lindsay Speer, a member of the Onondaga Lake Watershed Partnership committee that devised the signs.

The city's signs are bright red with the word "warning" splashed across the top in white. The county's signs are yellow and white, with a jumping fish and the word "notice." Partnership and city officials say those "happy fish" signs aren't strong enough to warn away people who might fish at the lake.

Gautam said the city's signs will be more likely to keep people from eating fish from the lake.

"The red sign that has different languages and international "NO" symbol is expected to be effective," Gautam wrote in a letter


to Syracuse.com. "Many of our people are good at reading the signs if they are in their native languages."

Both types of signs will be in several languages.

The county's environment director, Travis Glazier, told Syracuse.com in March that the county planned to install its signs "soon," but said they would have "very little impact" on fishing by refugees.

The state Department of Health has issued a fishing advisory for Onondaga Lake because many fish have high levels of mercury and PCBs in their flesh.

Gautam said the refugee community is trying to warn its members about the dangers of eating fish from the lake, through meetings and informal conversations.

"We tell them if you want to go fish, don't go to Onondaga Lake," he said. "The water is not good there, and

Sierra Club, the Center for Biological Diversity and Grand Canyon Trust, along with the Havasupai Tribe, had challenged the U.S. Forest Service’s decision to allow Energy Fuels Inc. to reopen the mine without initiating or completing formal tribal consultations and without updating an obsolete federal environmental


few.” The Forest Service first approved the Canyon mining plan in 1986, despite a challenge from the Havasupai Tribe. Uranium prices plummeted shortly thereafter, and the mine closed in 1990 before producing any uranium. The Forest Service allowed the Canyon Mine to reopen in 2012 without a plan update or environmental assessment to reflect the extensive changed circumstances since the original review and approval. These changes include the 2010 designation of the Red Butte traditional cultural property, reintroduction of the endangered California condor in the vicinity of the Canyon Mine, and the Department of the Interior’s 2012 decision to ban new uranium mining across 1 million acres near Grand Canyon.

The growing prevalence of chronic illness is due, in large part, to the control and/or eradication of infectious diseases as well as, in North America, the increasingly aged population and overall lengthening life span. Although the trajectory of chronic illness is in a generally downward direction, the rate of progression may vary as plateaux an remissions occur. As these changes occur, the individual and his family move through a process of continual adjustment. This paper presents a conceptual model of the process of adaptation in chronic illness. The primary concept in the model is appraisal (Lazarus, 1966) and the thought that continuous appraisal/reappraisal of the individual's progress toward the goal of adaptation is required by the individual, his family, and

Among the candidates was Costa Rica, which was left out of the Human Rights Council, after obtaining only 96 votes in favor.

“If you analyze the numbers more than half of the countries in the worlds support Venezuela, and that means, recognize Maduro government.

The United States and Russia concluded arrangements for a cessation of violence in Aleppo and surrounding areas, according to a department statement.

The two countries ended talks Tuesday and are closely monitoring whether the ceasefire sticks. Violence has decreased but continues, according to State Department deputy spokesman Mark Toner.

"Attacks directed against Syria's civilian population can never be justified, and these must stop immediately," Toner said in a statement Wednesday.

"Our objective remains, and has always been, a single nationwide cessation of hostilities covering all of Syria -- not a series of local truces."

The ceasefire will last for 48 hours, Syria's army's general command said. The truce started


at 1 a.m. local time Thursday.

Russia's air base in Syria

Russian fighter jets continue to roar off the tarmac at Hmeymim air base in Latakia, the staging ground for Russia's air war in Syria.

Nearly two months after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced he was pulling out "the main part" of his country's forces from Syrian territory, strike aircraft, supported by fighter jets, keep taking off and landing with regularity.

The air base, situated on northwest Syria's Mediterranean coast, remains a potent military concern. While some of the fighter jets have been removed, Russian military officials have upgraded their helicopter fleet at the base, adding Mi-28 helicopters that are on constant patrol.

The remaining fighter jets and strike aircraft show how the Russians are still capable of playing a decisive role inthe Syrian conflict.

Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov, a spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry, said that Russian jets have flown 87 sorties striking ISIS in the last four days alone.

The strikes have targeted the terror group's assets in Raqqa and Deir Ezzor provinces, he said.

He says that Russia has been working with the U.S. to ensure the ceasefire in Aleppo works. He adds that so far this cooperation has been positive -- the coordination of the two forces' air operations is going well and over the past month the forces have shared "a lot of information."

Russia has said it wants to see the "regime of silence" that has taken hold in Latakia and the capital, Damascus, extended to Aleppo.

But monitoring group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that


ongoing clashes in western Aleppo between the Syrian army and rebel factions have been the fiercest in the past year.

Urgent Security Council meeting

The talks between Russia and the United States are part of an international effort to enforce a cessation of violence across Syria. The U.N. Security Council convened an urgent meeting Wednesday on the violence in Aleppo in response to a request from Britain and France.

Matthew Rycroft, the UK ambassador to the United Nations, had strong words for the situation.

"This council has an obligation to the people of Aleppo," he said. "We have an obligation to show that we are working for their protection; that we are trying to find that elusive political settlement that will end this war."

He added that the Syrian people had lost confidencein the international body, and to restore their faith the United Nations needs to stop the carnage.

Jeffrey Feltman, the under-secretary of political affairs, told the council that the cessation of hostilities needed to be put back on track. He noted the agreement between Russia and the United States.

"We urge parties to abide by this immediately and comprehensively," he said.

He blamed both sides for the violence -- the Syrian government for bombing and the opposition for shelling.

France will organize a ministerial meeting on the situation in Syria on Monday, U.N. Ambassador Francois Delattre said in New York.

He said France also is asking Syria's allies to "use all their influence on Damascus in order to end the fighting and in order for the peace process to resume and to resume


quickly."

U.S. officials have called on Moscow to pressure the Syrian President to end his onslaught on Aleppo, which has resulted in widespread deaths of civilians in what was once the country's bustling cultural and economic hub.

The attacks camedays after an airstrike hit a hospital in a rebel-held area of Aleppo, reportedly killing the city's last pediatrician. The death toll from last week's attack has risen to 55, according to Doctors Without Borders.

"The bottom line is there is no justification for this horrific violence that targets civilians or medical facilities or first responders no matter who it is, whether it's a member of the opposition retaliating or the regime in its brutality against the civilians which has continued for five years," U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said.

Experiment Eleven: Deceit and Betrayal in the Discovery of the Cure for Tuberculosis

In 1943, Albert Schatz, a young Rutgers College Ph.D. student, worked on a wartime project in microbiology professor Selman Waksman's lab, searching for an antibiotic to fight infections on the front lines and at home. On his eleventh experiment on a common bacterium found in farmyard soil, Schatz discovered streptomycin, the first effective cure for tuberculosis, at that time the world's leading killer disease.

As directorof Schatz's research, Waksman took credit for the discovery, belittled Schatz's work, and secretly enriched himself with royalties from the streptomycin patent filed by Merck, the pharmaceutical company. In an unprecedented lawsuit, young Schatz sued Waksman, was awarded the title of "co-discoverer" and a share of the royalties. But two years later, Professor Waksman alone was awarded the Nobel Prize. Schatz disappeared into academic obscurity.

For the first time, acclaimed author and journalist Peter Pringle reveals the scandals behind one of the most important discoveries in the history of medicine. The story unfolds on a tiny college campus in New Jersey, but its repercussions spread worldwide. The streptomycin patent was a breakthrough for the drug companies, overturning patent limits on products of nature and paving the way for today's


biotech world. As dozens more antibiotics were found, many from the same family as streptomycin, the drug companies created oligopolies and reaped big profits. Pringle uses first-hand accounts and archives in the U.S. and Europe to unravel the intensely human story behind the discovery that started a revolution in the treatment of infectious diseases and shaped the future of Big Pharma

Title

Experiment Eleven: Deceit and Betrayal in the Discovery of the Cure for Tuberculosiserror had a substantial and injurious effect on the jury's verdict.

BACKGROUND

I. Investigation and Arrest
On June 2, 2001, Harry entered Ah Wee travel agency in Brooklyn, New York, walked directly up to its owner, Carlisle Hall, and killed him by firing two shots into his chest. A few weeks later, Nisha Bernard ("Bernard"), Wood's ex-girlfriend and Hall's former employee, told police investigators that Wood had hired Harry to commit the crime. Based on that tip, Detective Charles Arnao ("Arnao") took both Wood and Harry into custody.
*87 Wood spent the night of August 24 inside the 71st precinct. At a line-up held the following afternoon, a witness identified Wood as the man he saw arguing with Hall ten days before the murder. Arnao then took Wood to an interrogation room,


where Wood, after waiving his rights, provided an account of his activities on the day Hall was murdered. Arnao transcribed Wood's statement and both men signed the document.
After signing, Arnao asked Wood if he would "go on video." Wood initially agreed, but then responded: "I think I should get a lawyer." Arnao immediately said "ok," stopped inquiring into Hall's murder, handed Wood a telephone, and left the room. When Arnao returned, he heard the tail-end of Wood's conversation, which he believed "sounded more like a friend than a business" call. Arnao then arranged for video equipment to be brought into the interrogation room. Shortly thereafter, Assistant District Attorney Mark Pagliuco arrived with a video technician, read Wood his rights, and, in Arnao's presence, recorded a brief interrogation.
On videotape,Wood disavowed any responsibility for the murder, but admitted to arriving at the scene in his green Lexus and recalled hearing two gunshots while purchasing "weed" nearby. Wood also spoke of a conversation he had with Harry and a third individual, "Damion,"[2] moments before the shooting in which he identified Hall as "the dude that [Bernard] had a problem with," and watched as Harry walked off towards Hall's location. Wood further admitted to giving Harry small amounts of money and marijuana in the days following Hall's murder.
The statement also provided a potential motive for the murder. On the videotape, Wood explained that Hall previously had "filed a complaint against [Bernard]" based on her participation in a fraudulent credit card scheme being run out of the travel agency. Harry,


written statement after concluding that the nearly thirty-hour delay between Wood's arrest and the time he was first read his rights, combined with his informal agreement with Arnao to "speak like men" if he was picked out of the line-up, made this statement "involuntary." Nevertheless, the court admitted Wood's videotaped statement after concluding that the video interrogation was sufficiently attenuated from Arnao's unconstitutional conduct to "purge any taint."[3] The trial court also *88 suppressed the eye-witness identification for the independent reason that "highly suggestive comments" by Arnao indicated the "definite presence" in the line-up of the person the witness had seen arguing with Hall before the murder.

III. Wood's Trial
During the brief trial, Harry and Bernard testified to Wood's role in the murder; a few other witnesses detailed Hall'sinjuries and Harry's actions inside the travel agency. In addition, the government played Wood's videotaped statement, which largely confirmed Harry's version of events leading up to the shooting. The only real question before the jury was whether Wood hired Harry to kill Hall or Harry simply took it upon himself to do so. As a result, the prosecution's case rested on Harry's and Bernard's credibility.

A. Testimony of Rasheen Harry

According to Harry, Wood approached him on the morning of June 2 and asked if he "want[ed] to make some money." Wood explained that "some man had raped [Bernard]," and implied that he sought revenge. Harry, twenty-five years old and fresh out of prison, was interested.
The pair traveled together in Wood's white Lexus, presumably to find the man in question.


While stopped to change vehicles, Wood told Harry that he wanted him "to kill somebody." Harry agreed, and they drove together towards the travel agency in Wood's green Lexus. Soon after arriving, Wood saw Hall walk by on his way to work and Wood identified him to Harry as "the man that raped [Bernard]." Wood then got out of the car to "go buy some weed" and gave Harry twenty dollars to purchase something to eat. Upon Wood's return, Harry entered the travel agency and shot Hall twice in the chest. He then passed the gun off to Damion, who was waiting "by the train," and left the scene.
Three days later, Harry called Wood asking for money. Wood told Harry to go to a local store owned byWood "a murderer." In the heat of that argument, Wood told Bernard that "he could get the same person that killed [Hall] to do the same thing to [her]." Approximately two weeks later Wood shared details of Hall's murder with Bernard and admitted to orchestrating the killing.
Bernard also testified to witnessing a phone call that Wood received from Harry, after which Wood explained that the caller was Hall's killer and that he was asking *89 for money. Bernard then accompanied Wood to Hildago's store, where Wood gave Harry a small amount of cash. Soon after, Bernard contacted the officers investigating the credit card scam and informed them of Wood's role in the murder.
On cross examination, defense counsel noted Bernard's involvement in the credit card scheme and continued contact


with Wood even after his arrest, implying that Bernard testified to prevent further charges from being brought against her, even though she never believed Wood was involved in the murder. Bernard also admitted to feeling anger towards Wood. Defense counsel implied that this, and the couple's frequent quarrels, gave her reason to implicate Wood in Hall's murder.

C. Closing Arguments and the Jury's Verdict

Wood's defense was that Harry took it upon himself to kill Hall and then fingered Wood in an attempt to secure leniency. However, the admission of Wood's videotaped statement forced defense counsel to affirm that the events it depicted were for the most part "the way it was." This severely strained the argument that Harry acted independently of Wood and complicated efforts to undermine Harry's credibility,because Wood's own statement placed him at the scene, mere moments before the shooting, and acknowledged that he identified Hall to Harry at that time and place as someone Bernard "had [a] beef with." Nevertheless, defense counsel's summation attempted to discredit the government's key witnesses and paint Harry as a senseless killer.
The prosecutor, in turn, began his summation by characterizing Wood's statement as an attempt "to explain away his presence at the crime scene." He noted that Wood knew both the victim and the shooter, but failed to contact the police after the killing. This demonstrated Wood's guilt, he argued, because "any citizen" would have come forward with such information. The prosecutor then focused squarely on the content of Wood's videotaped statement, arguing that it corroborated Harry's version


that plainly bore on issues central to the jury's decision. In it, Wood acknowledged his presence at the scene of the crime and conceded that he identified Hall to Harry and Damion as the "sucker" Bernard was having problems with. In the words of Wood's prosecutor, "that's a biggie." Wood further admitted to giving Harry "$20 when [he] had the money" as well as "a bag of weed and a couple of dollars" one evening at Hildago's store. Certainly, Wood's admission that, after the murder, he gave money and drugs to the shooter would be critical to the jury's determination of whether Wood hired Harry *97 to kill Hall in the first place. It is no wonder, then, that the jury asked to view the videotaped statement duringits deliberations.
Furthermore, as Appellee conceded at oral argument, Wood's statement "locked [him] into" an implausible and highly incriminating depiction of the shooting. This created two problems for the defense: first, it forced Wood to defend a plainly absurd version of events, and second, by confirming much of Harry's and Bernard's testimony, Wood's own statement crippled defense counsel's ability to argue that Harry and Bernard should not be believed.
Wood's videotaped statement strains credibility. In it, he purports to have simply stumbled upon Hall outside the travel agency, though he explains neither his own presence there nor the remarkable coincidence of meeting Harry at a nearby gas station. What's more, Wood denies any "hard feelings" towards Hall, despite claiming to believe that Hall sexually harassed Bernard, his girlfriend at the


save the critical detail of Wood's solicitation of the murder. The statement was thus devastating to the defense argument that Harry was an irresponsible fabricator.
The prosecutor clearly understood that Wood's statement was a powerful weapon in persuading the jury to credit Harry's trial testimony. As a result, his summation led with and focused on the videotaped statement.[12] In fact, the first twenty of the summation's fifty pages are dedicated almost exclusively to the statement, and to the role the prosecutor hoped it would play in the jury's deliberations. See Zappulla, 391 F.3d at 471 (recognizing that the "prosecution knows intimately the strengths and weaknesses of its case," and relying on fact that "the prosecutor found the erroneously admitted evidence to be important" in its harmlessness calculation).
The prosecutor begancontent of an erroneously admitted statement was otherwise before the jury, but whether the erroneously admitted evidence "filled . . . a missing link" in the government's case. Zappulla, 391 F.3d at 472. Here, the statement did not simply confirm facts that were decisively proven by other evidence. Rather, it went to the heart of the central, hotly disputed issue in the case: whether the jury should believe Harry's account of the crime.
The prosecution's case was based on the testimony of two questionable witnesses: Harry, the admitted shooter, testifying to secure a lighter sentence, and Bernard, Wood's former girlfriend, who testified in the face of a potential prosecution for credit card fraud and possible deportation. The critical question for the jury was whether these witnesses were credible. The


prosecution benefitted greatly by corroborating their testimony with independent evidence, from Wood's own mouth, of Wood's involvement in the murder. By reinforcing Harry's and Bernard's version of *99 events, Wood's statement solved the credibility problem.
The prosecutor honed in on this point when he urged the jury to make credibility determinations based on whether the testimony was "corroborated by other facts." The "other facts" to which he directed the jury were those contained in Wood's statement, which was the only evidence the prosecutor relied on to support Harry's and Bernard's testimony. In a case such as this one, where guilt rests on witness credibility, key evidence affecting credibility is not merely corroborative or cumulative: by permitting the jury to credit otherwise suspect testimony, it provides a key link inperiod.[13]
DEBRA ANN LIVINGSTON, Circuit Judge, dissenting:
On June 2, 2001, Carlisle Hall, the owner of the Ah Wee Travel Agency on Utica Avenue in Brooklyn, was shot twice in the chest at his place of business, resulting in his death. He was killed by Rasheen Harry, a 25-year old who had been released from jail just days before and who had never heard of Hall until the day of the murder. Harry undisputedly did the killing, but based on the evidence at Ellis Wood's trial, Harry did not instigate this crime. It was the 41-year old Wood, Harry's neighbor from Lincoln Road, who commissioned it. Wood offered to pay Harry (with whom he "[hung] out on the block" and drank Hennessy during the time they both lived on Lincoln


Road) $500 for doing the deed, falsely informing Harry that he, Wood, wanted Hall dead because Hall had raped Wood's girlfriend, Nisha Bernard, a former employee of the Ah Wee Travel Agency. It was Wood who drove Harry to the travel agency in Wood's green Lexus and who sat in the car outside the agency with his young associate, pointing out the victim as Hall strolled down the street with a colleague, George Radix. Finally, it was Wood who provided *100 Harry with the gun that he carried as he walked inside the travel agency. Moments later, the 59-year-old Carlisle Hall, the principal at the Ah Wee Travel Agency for almost 20 years, had been fatally wounded.
The majority characterizes the case against Woodwhich it analyzes, I believe, toocasually and without regard to the record as a wholeas "not strong." I disagree. Harry, testifying pursuant to a cooperation agreement that nevertheless provided for his incarceration for 20 years to life, identified Wood as the person who set this crime in motionproviding him with a gun and identifying Hall as the victimand testified to receiving money for his role after the fact at "Juanchi's" storealso known as the One Love Culture Shop in Brooklyn. This accomplice testimony was not just supported but fully corroborated by Wood's girlfriend, Bernard, who testified, in substance, that Wood admitted to her that he had arranged for the murder to be committed and to be committed by an acquaintance from Lincoln Road.
There is no evidencenonethat Bernard ever met or even knew of


Rasheen Harry prior to the crime. Crucially, moreover, Bernard, who reached out to law enforcement authorities to report Wood's involvement soon after he threatened during a fight that "he could get the same person that killed [Hall] to do the same thing to [Bernard] or [her] family," knew details about the killing for which the only explanation in this record is the one she providednamely, that Wood related them to her. Thus, Bernard, who was not present at the scene, knew the identity of the man, George Radix, with whom Hall walked into his store immediately prior to being shot. She knew, as well, that Hall was wearing brown pants and a burgundy shirt, that he was shot twice, and that, just as Harry testified, Harry and Woodclaim that "the prosecution's case was not strong," Maj. Op. at 94.
At trial, Harry testified that on June 2, 2001, the day of the murder, he was approached by Wood, someone he knew from the time they both had spent living in the Lincoln Road neighborhood in Brooklyn. Wood asked him if he would like to make some money in exchange for shooting a man that Wood claimed had assaulted his girlfriend. Harry testified that he agreed to Wood's offer, and that the two drove in a green Lexus to the Ah Wee Travel Agency. Once there, Harry asked for $20 to get something to eat, which he was given, and Wood left the car to purchase marijuana. Wood returned and identified the victim, who was walking into


the travel agency with another man, as the person who had assaulted his girlfriend. Harry, having discussed with Wood a price of $500 to shoot the victim (albeit without reaching agreement on the final sum), testified that he entered the travel agency and shot Hall twice in the chest, using a revolver that Wood had provided. Following the murder, Harry gave the gun to a friend named Damion and then used the subway to leave the crime scene. He talked to Wood again after the murder, asking for money, and was told to meet a man named Juanchi Hildago at his store, *103 where Harry borrowed $10. He testified that he talked to Wood from time to time about receiving additional money for killing Hall, obtaining a totalof $20 following the shooting.
Harry's account was then corroborated at trial by Bernard, who related to the jury a series of conversations she had with her boyfriend, Wood, following the murder of Hall, Bernard's former employer. The first such conversation occurred two to three weeks after the murder. Bernard testified that her mother telephoned the apartment that Wood and Bernard shared and that, when Wood answered, her mother called him a murderer. Wood and Bernard subsequently had a fight, during which he told her that "he could get the same person that killed [Bernard's] friend to do the same thing to [her] or [her] family." After this conversation, Bernard and her children moved out of the apartment to stay with her mother.
On July 4, 2001, Bernard brought her


children back to the apartment to see their father, and again talked with Wood. She testified that Wood told her to "[l]ook [at] what he [has] done for me, for love, and I have never done anything for him." She asked him what he meant, and he proceeded to give details of his role in procuring Hall's murder.[1] Consistent with Harry's testimony, Bernard testified that Wood told her that he went to the travel agency with the person who actually shot Hall and pointed out Hall, who was walking into the office with "an Indian guy with a pony tail." From this description, she recognized the other person to be George Radix, with whom she had worked.[2] Bernard also testified that Wood identified the clothes Hall had beenwearing the day he was shotbrown pants and a burgundy shirtand that Wood said he was parked near the travel agency in his green Lexus while the shooting took place. Further corroborating Harry's account, Bernard testified that Wood said the shooter shot Hall twice and that the shooter was from Lincoln Road in Brooklyn.
Bernard related to the jury a third episode with Wood that took place shortly thereafter. She was with Wood when he received a call on his cell phone from a person Wood expressly identified as the shooter, asking for money. Bernard then went with Wood to the One Love Culture Shop, a store owned by the mother of Juanchi Hildago, a friend of Wood's. Wood pointed the shooter out to Bernard while they were both


in the car, and then left to go into the store. After this episode, Bernard contacted a federal law enforcement officerthe same one who had asked her questions in June 2000, over a year earlier, about stolen credit cards "because [she] was frightened and scared. . . [and] wanted advice from him what to do." Bernard was later able to identify *104 Harry in a line-up at the police station as the man Wood pointed out that day.
In the face of the detailed and mutually corroborative account of Wood's role orchestrating Hall's murder presented by Harry and Bernard, the majority supports its conclusion that the evidence against Wood was nevertheless not strong by noting that the strength of this case "rested squarely on [the witnesses'] credibility." Maj. Op.to identify doubt of Wood's guilt in the face of the testimony of Bernard and Harry. On the majority's proposed account, Bernard in July 2001 (before anyone had been arrested for committing this crime) armed herself with details of Hall's murder from neighborhood gossipgossip that was so accurate and so detailed that she came to know that a green Lexus of the sort driven by Wood was, coincidentally, at the scene of the crime, and that the killer hailed from Lincoln Road. The intrepid Bernard then chose to thrust herself into a murder investigationcontacting the police herself in order falsely to implicate Wood in the hope that in aiding in the wrongful conviction of her live-in boyfriend, she could put to rest any lingering fears of *106 prosecution


The same holds for the length of jury deliberations. The majority makes much of the fact that the jurors asked to see Wood's statement replayed. But the jurors also asked to hear Bernard's testimony during their deliberations, along with selected portions of Harry's, as well as to view Harry's videotaped confession and his two other statements to police (but not his Wood-dictated "Affidavit in Support of Statement"). This suggests that jurors took time because they were paying scrupulous attention to the totality of the evidence in this caseevidence that powerfully implicated Wood, taking no account of his erroneously admitted denial of the crime.
In sum, after carefully reviewing Bernard's account of Wood's admissions to her, in combination with Harry's own detailed description of his and Wood's interactions as Woodthe erroneously admitted evidence. See Wray, 202 F.3d at 526. The disputed statement, as the majority notes, was not a confession, but rather an account of Hall's murder intended by Wood to be exculpatory with respect to his own role in procuring it. In his approximately 15 minute statement (made to an Assistant District Attorney after Wood was apprised of his Miranda rights, see Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 86 S.Ct. 1602, 16 L.Ed.2d 694 (1966), for at least the second time), Wood asserted that he had been at the scene of the crime, that he saw Harry and a friend in a Honda there, and that he, Wood, in making conversation, pointed out Hall, who was walking down the street, as someone with whom his girlfriend


had experienced problems. A few minutes later, he heard two gunshots and then saw Harry coming around the corner. Subsequent to Hall's murder, Wood stated that he gave Harry a little money occasionally and "a bag of weed" in response to his requests. While he did not claim to have actually seen Harry commit the murder, Wood stated that he believed Harry had done so, and that he sent Harry away from the video store he owned, calling Harry "crazy." Wood claimed that after the crime, he "tried to don't even have conversations with [Harry]. I didn't trust him any more. I didn't know if he was gonna shoot me."
Wood's videotaped statement was thus an account of Hall's murder intended by him to be exculpatory, and not athe difficult task of explaining why the admitted shooter would identify him as the procurer of the murder-for-hireat a time when in doing so he implicated himself in a first degree murder with no cooperation agreement in placeor why Wood's then-girlfriend would corroborate this account with detailed testimony relating Wood's admissions to her regarding his role. And, again, Wood needed some theory as to how Bernard even knew the details of the crime she related and was able to pick Harry out of a line up if her account of Wood's admissions was in any way untrue.
Indeed, Wood's videotaped statement was helpful to the defense to the extent it suggested an otherwise missing explanation as to how Bernard came upon her knowledge of the crimenamely, through supposedly truthful


statement was harmful to the defense in various waysprincipally, by further corroborating the facts that Wood was present at the scene, that he identified Hall to Harry, and that he paid Harry after the fact. To the extent it locked Wood into an implausible story, however, the record is devoid of any indication that without the videotape, there was any more plausible tale to be told. Thus, the majority suggests that the videotape was "devastating to the defense argument that Harry was an irresponsible fabricator." Maj. Op. at 97. But Bernard's testimony bolstered Harry's credibility more than the videotape since, after all, she was the person to whom Wood, in substance, confessed. On this record, the only explanation as to how Harry and Bernard came to offer mutuallyyou know that he did because, ladies and gentlemen, Nisha Bernard looked at a police line-up and out of six people that she had never seen before, she picked out Rasheen Harry accurately and correctly.
Because Rasheen Harry is the gunman. He's the killer. How could she possibly have done that if Mr. Wood, in fact, had not pointed him out that day? There is no answer for that other than the fact that he did, he did tell her that it was the man.
And, again, the police didn't come looking for her. She went looking for them. . . .
The prosecution's discussion of Wood's videotaped statement thus occurred in the context of a summation that focused principally on the testimony of Harry and Bernard. Even if the majority


that that conversation never occurred, and instead credit Harry's testimony that he had merely lied to the police about communicating with his girlfriend. But the possibility that Harry told his girlfriend about the murder, combined with the fact that Bernard's mother had independent knowledge of the killing just a few hours after it occurred, indicates that information about the shooting had quickly spread throughout the neighborhood. Hall, after all, was killed on a Saturday afternoon in the middle of Brooklyn and in front of at least two witnesses besides Harry.

Certainly the vast majority of the specific details to which Bernard testifiedthe number of shots fired, the clothes Hall was wearing that day, and the description of the travel agency employee who had accompanied Hall into the storewould havestolen credit card information in order to pocket the proceeds. Bernard was approached by federal law enforcement agents in June 2000 and was asked questions related to Wood. She was herself arrested by local authorities for her involvement in August 2000 (and on the complaint of her employer, Hall), but the charges were not pursued. With both federal and state authorities inquiring into his fraudulent scheme, Wood had an interest in ensuring that he was not further implicated by Hall.
[2]  Kelly Fleary, another employee of the travel agency who was working on the day of the murder, further corroborated Bernard's testimony on this point, testifying at trial that just before his murder Hall had arrived at the agency with Radix.
[3]  Harry initially denied committing the crime,


claiming first that Wood shot Hall and then that Wood forced Harry to commit the crime by threatening his family. Within about six hours of his arrest, however, he admitted to killing Hall in exchange for the promise of money from Wood. The majority points to the supposedly impeaching effect of a later affidavit in which Harry denied Wood's involvement and wrote that "Ellis paid me (Rasheen Harry) no monetary wage for said commission of murder." But the majority neglects to mention that this affidavit was prepared while both Harry and Wood were imprisoned together awaiting trial. Harry testified that he signed it as a result of Wood's "pressuring" him over the course of three weeks, and that the words, though written by him, were provided by Wood.Results of a public awareness campaign in Morocco regarding the sun's deleterious effects.
To investigate knowledge of the various sun radiation-related risks and awareness of photoprotection measures using a sample of the Moroccan population. An investigation of prevalence, which was administered while a public awareness campaign on the sun's harmful effects, organized by the department of dermatology of Ibn Sina's hospital in Rabat, was running. The collection of the data was made on the basis of a questionnaire that was filled by the team of the doctors of the department. The logistic regression allowed to identify the explanatory factors for the prevalent knowledge and behaviours related to the subject in hand. Four hundred eleven subjects were included in the survey. The subjects' average age was 40 +/- 10 years.


The amount declared is around 25 per cent of all the cash deposited after demonetisation was announced.

Highlights Declaration suspicious, filed by persons of small means, says ministry

Amount is thrice the Rs. 65,250 crore declared under disclosure scheme

The family of four are residents of Bandra, Mumbai

A Mumbai family's declaration of Rs 2 lakh crore income has been rejected and investigations in the matter are on, the Union Finance Ministry has said. The ministry said the declaration was rejected as it was "suspicious in nature, being filed by persons of small means".The family of four -- Abdul Razzaque Mohammed Sayed, his son Mohammed Aarif Abdul Razzaque Sayed, wife Rukhsana Abdul Razzaque Sayed and sister Noorjahan Mohammed Sayed, are residents of Bandra.The declaration of Sayeeds is thrice the total amount ofRs 65,250 crore declared under the Income Disclosure Scheme, formed to flush out black money. The scheme, which closed on September 30 and under which the stash was declared, provides immunity to those who declare hidden income and pay 45 per cent of the declared amount as tax, surcharge and penalty.Expressing suspicion that the declarations could have been "misused", the ministry said inquiries are on to "determine the intention behind these false declarations".The ministry said it has also rejected the declaration of Mahesh Shah, the Ahmedabad-based businessman, who had gone missing last month after declaring black money worth over Rs. 13,000 crore The low-profile real estate dealer, who has since surfaced, has told income tax officials that the money belonged to many people, including politicians, bureaucrats and builders.After


being questioned for nearly seven hours today, the 67-year-old was allowed to leave on health grounds. He will be questioned again tomorrow.Regarding the Sayeeds, the ministry said three out of the four PAN numbers were originally from Ajmer. These were migrated to Mumbai in September 2016, where the declarations were filed.Test series in England this summer. "What we're doing is taking it a series at a time. I am confident that by the time we get towards looking at England and the Champions Trophy, he'll be fully fit and raring to go. His appetite would have returned because then it would be a fair amount of time he has had. I'm confident England is kind of a series that he would want to be available for."

Earlier on Tuesday, de Villiers told South African radio station 702 that he was "not retiring out of Test cricket." However, he said he would have to manage his workload in order to be fit for the 2019 World Cup.

"My main aim is to get to that 2019 World Cup and I am


Plesiss and coach Russell Domingo indicated uncertainty over de Villiers' return to the side.

De Villiers, 32, has not played a Test since January 2016, when he was the stand-in captain for Hashim Amla. He took over in the middle of a four-Test series against England, which South Africa lost 2-1 in the midst of discussions over his own workload. De Villiers had spent the early part of the series explaining the need to "keep myself fresh" and "maybe not play all kinds of cricket."

At the end of the series, de Villiers was named permanent Test captain and he accepted the job while fully committing to South Africa. However, he was sidelined with an elbow injury after the Caribbean Premier League in July and, at first, opted for aconservative approach to treatment, which involved rest and rehabilitation rather than surgery. That ruled him out of a two-Test series against New Zealand in August. By October, he had still not recovered and was forced to have surgery, which ruled him out of the home ODIs and an away Test series against Australia. Du Plessis was captain in his absence and led South Africa to series wins in both assignments.

De Villiers had still not recovered by December, ahead of the Tests against Sri Lanka at home, and stepped down as Test captain early in the month. Du Plessis was confirmed as his successor and led South Africa to another series victory.

KELSEY LU– and it resulted in a profit of $272 million or $1.21 per share, for April through June.

Investors earned 14 cents more per share. Harley dealers sold just over 90,000 new bikes in the second quarter of this year, up from almost 86,000 thousand at the same time the previous year.

As a result, Harley’s world-wide revenues totaled just under $1.8 billion – about $60 million more than the previous year.

Harley CEO Keith Wandell said the company has added 104 new dealerships outside the U.S. since late 2009 – and its goal is to add up to 150 foreign dealers by the end of 2014.

Harley-Davidson is based in Milwaukee, with a northern Wisconsin plant in Tomahawk.

Waukesha County man accused of threatening church youth group

A Waukesha County man accused of


failed repeatedly to reach the two men by phone – so she went to the store and found A.J. dead.

Dane County medical examiner Vincent Tranchida said Paul Petras was shot at close range, and his son at least three feet away. Prosecutors also called five other witnesses who saw people in the store as it was about to close for the day.

In opening arguments Wednesday, prosecution said surveillance video caught Lepsch’s van at the crime scene – and he left a palm print in the store.

Defense lawyer Vincent Rust said the state relied on bad science. He also claimed that Lepsch was not at the photo store that day, and he said Lepsch may be a thief but not a killer.

Court records show that he owed $60,000 injudgments from a theft case a decade earlier.

The trial is scheduled to continue until Aug. 2nd.

Woman pleads guilty to providing the heroin that killed Trempealeau County man

A La Crosse woman has pleaded guilty to providing the heroin that killed a man in Trempealeau County.

Tasha Kempfer, 27, is scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 8th after being convicted Wednesday of first-degree reckless homicide.

Jeremiah Harris, 32, died in July of 2011 outside the Trempealeau fire station, where paramedics tried to revive him.

Authorities said Kempfer, her mother, and Harris all went to Madison where Kempfer bought the heroin that Harris died from. Kempfer is also charged in La Crosse County, where innocent pleas have been entered to a pair of felony counts of selling heroin to police informants.

The status of that case


will be reviewed at a hearing next Tuesday. Kempfer’s mother, 45-year-old Michelle Johnson, is on five years of probation after she pleaded guilty to conspiring to deliver heroin.

Stretch of Great River Road reopened after flood repairs

PRAIRIE DU CHIEN -- A 15-mile stretch of Highway 35 is open again in Crawford County, after being closed for a month due to flood damage.

Heavy rains in late June caused mudslides on a number of roads in southwest Wisconsin.

The Great River Road between Lynxville and Prairie du Chien was among the most heavily damaged.

Retired probation officer allegedly stole from criminals

A retired state probation officer from Grant County is due in court Monday, after being charged with 67 criminal counts for stealing money from criminals she supervised.

Sherry Buswell, 56, of Rewey is accused-- A woman from Superior has been sentenced to just over 10 years in a federal prison, for attacking a jail inmate who was a government witness in the woman’s drug-trafficking case.

Authorities said Veronique Muckle, 23, violently attacked Angelique Vos last August at the Sherburne County Jail in Minnesota. That was after Vos testified against Lawrence Colton for his role in the same drug-ring in which Muckle participated.

At the time of the attack, Muckle was awaiting placement in a federal prison after being sentenced to almost 4.5 years in the drug case – which was among the largest in Duluth-Superior history.

Over three-dozen people were charged in an operation that reportedly transported heroin and prescription drugs to the Twin Ports area. The arrests netted large amounts of drugs, as

(Jules Verne's) Rocket to the Moon (1967), better known in the United States under its domestic general release title, Those Fantastic Flying Fools (as well as yet another title, Blast Off!) is a shamelessly derivative but entertaining period satire/science fiction film. Suggested by earlier Verne adaptations and especially the popular roadshow epic Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines (1965), this independently-produced mini-epic wears thin during its aimless middle section, but has enough amusing ideas and performances to sustain it through to the end.

Rocket to the Moon finds Phineas T. Barnum (Burl Ives), one step ahead of his


prove the undoing of a crooked scientist-rival (Lionel Jeffries).

Producer Harry Alan Towers pilfered ideas and characters from a dozen other movies for Rocket to the Moon. Terry-Thomas and Gert Fröbe all but reprise their characters from Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines, while Lionel Jeffries finds himself designing his second 19th century rocketship in three short years, having had better luck in First Men "in" the Moon (1964). Troy Donahue's character seems derived from that played by Pat Boone in Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959).

Nevertheless, the picture is particularly good at evoking its period. Towers and director Don Sharp had vividly captured the atmosphere of 1920s London with their low-budget Fu Manchu movies. Here, with a much larger budget (though still tiny compared withdo well in evoking Victorian times, from the excellent use of Irish locations to the delightful title design which suggests Georges Méliès.

The comedy is hit-and-miss, with the best ideas coming early on. The film opens with a series of amusing gags in which the scientists' inventions go wrong, from Lionel Jeffries's collapsing suspension bridge (a funny special effect courtesy Les Bowie), to Fröbe's proposed mini-cannon, mounted on a soldier's helmet. One of the picture's strengths is that the group of inventors obviously love what their doing. "To this generation," notes the film's narrator (Maurice Denham), "all things seemed possible." Unfortunately, there's not enough of this, particularly as the film becomes bogged down with Terry-Thomas's efforts to thwart the rocket's launch.

optical and wireless networks or the role of optical network for the future Internet design

As it is established practice ONDM will focus on cutting-edge, state- of-the-art research in optical networking. ONDM will also encourage submissions of the research papers that relate the topics of optical networking to the other areas and disciplines, such as integration of optical and wireless networks or the role of optical network for the future Internet design. Controversial ideas and approaches and their open discussion are strongly encouraged.

ONDM is a meeting point for people coming from the leading industry and the research side willingCarolina in violation of 26 U.S.C. Sec. 7201.  Ramantanin was tried by a jury which returned a verdict of guilty on all three counts.

2
During the years in question Ramantanin was a legal resident of Spartanburg, South Carolina, where he was primarily engaged in the operation of a restaurant.  On this appeal the defendant initially challenges his conviction upon the ground that the Government failed to establish that venue was properly laid in the District of South Carolina.  Apparently the basis for the defendant's contention on this point is the fact that early in the year 1965 the Southeast Service Center at Chamblee, Georgia, a government record repository, was authorized to receive tax returns of individuals required to file with the District Director of South Carolina,


and later in 1967 South Carolina taxpayers were authorized to file their returns either at the Center or with the District Director in Columbia, South Carolina.

3
We find no merit in this contention of the defendant.  As a resident of Spartanburg he was required under Section 6091 of the 1954 Internal Revenue Code to file his return with the District Director of the Internal Revenue Service for South Carolina.  The defendant's original tax returns for the indictment years were admitted in evidence without objection and show that they were in fact filed with the District Director at Columbia.  The defendant's amended returns for the indictment years were also admitted as exhibits in this case and, while they were filed at the Center in Georgia, each offull hearing relative to the suppression motion and thereafter, in denying the motion, made definitive findings of fact and conclusions of law.

5
A review of the record persuades us that the action of the District Judge in denying this motion was eminently sound.  The initial interview of the defendant was conducted at his place of business on July 21, 1966, by Revenue Agent Richard F. Murphy.  The defendant was advised that the agent desired to examine his income tax records for the subject years and although the defendant had no formal books or business records, he submitted his bank statements, cancelled checks and deposit tickets for inspection.  On that occasion the defendant also gave Murphy some general information relative to his business operations.  On February


14, 1967, B. R. Lee, a special agent of the Intelligence Division, accompanied Agent Murphy to the defendant's restaurant for a further interview.  The defendant was well aware that Lee was a special agent and was advised that his case had been referred to the Intelligence Division for investigation.  During this interview the defendant gave the agents information with respect to his personal and business income as well as various asset items.  The defendant's safety deposit box was inventoried by the agents on the following day. Subsequent interviews were held at Ramantanin's restaurant on three occasions in March and April, 1967, during which various facets of the defendant's business and personal affairs were disclosed to the agents.

6
On April 19, 1967, additional instructions regarding the conductof criminal fraud investigations which had been promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service were received in the office of the District Director in Columbia and thereupon were issued to all special agents of the Intelligence Division of that District.  On June 14, 1967, Special Agent Lee again interviewed the defendant at the office of the Internal Revenue Service in Spartanburg.  This was the first interview with the defendant subsequent to the issuance of the instructions by the District Director relative to criminal fraud investigations, and on that occasion Lee gave the defendant the full Miranda warnings.

7
At the hearing on the suppression motion counsel for defendant conceded that on no occasion was the defendant under arrest or in custody, and further stated that the agents used no
