commanded the focused attention of British and American
intelligence outfits. In 1951, the Iranian parliament, under the leadership of
the nationalist movement of Dr. Mohammed Mossadegh, voted unanimously to nationalize
the oil industry. This shut out the immensely profitable Anglo-Iranian
Oil Company (AIOC),
which was a pillar of Britain's economy and political clout. A month after that
vote, Mossadegh was elected prime minister of Iran.[6]

In
response to nationalization, Britain placed an embargo on Iranian oil exports,
which worsened the already fragile economy. Neither the AIOC nor Mossadegh was
open to compromise in this period, with Britain insisting on a restoration of
the AIOC and Mossadegh willing only to negotiate the terms of its compensation
for lost assets. U.S. President Harry S. Truman ruled out joining Britain in a
coup against Mossadegh, and Britain felt unable to act without American
cooperation,[citation needed]particularly since Mossadegh
had shut down their embassy in 1952. Truman's successor, President Dwight
D. Eisenhower, was
persuaded by anti-communist arguments that there was potential for Iran's
CommunistTudeh
Party to
capitalize on political instability and assume power, aligning Iran and its
immense oil resources with the Soviet bloc. Coup plans which had
stalled under Truman were revived by an eager intelligence corps, with powerful
aid from the brothers John Foster Dulles (Secretary
of State)
and Allen Welsh Dulles (Director
of Central Intelligence), after Eisenhower's inauguration in 1953.

According
to Roosevelt, he slipped across the border under his CIA cover as ‘James
Lockridge’ on June 19, 1953. He was put up in the capital, Tehran, in a place
rented by British intelligence…

Under
Roosevelt's direction, the CIA and British intelligence funded and led a
campaign of black propaganda and bribery leading to a coup d'etat to overthrow Mossadegh


with the
help of military forces loyal to the Shah in Operation Ajax. The plot hinged on orders
signed by the Shah to dismiss Mossadegh as prime minister and replace him with
General Fazlollah Zahedi, a choice agreed on by the British
and Americans.

Despite
the high-level coordination and planning, the coup faltered initially and the
Shah fled Iran. After a brief exile in Italy, however, the Shah was brought
back again, this time through a second coup which was successful.

In his
book All the Shah's Men: An
American Coup and the Roots of Middle East Terror, The New York Times reporter Stephen Kinzer reported that the CIA
ordered Roosevelt to leave Iran. Roosevelt ignored the order and, instead
organized a second coup, this one successful. The deposed Mossadegh was
arrested, given a show trial, and placed in solitary confinement forthree
years in military prison, followed by house arrest for life. Zahedi was
installed to succeed prime minister Mossadegh.

After that
coup, Kinzer reported that the Shah said to Roosevelt, "I owe my throne to
God, my people, my army—and to you." […]

In 2003,
William Blum, in Killing Hope: US
Military and CIA Interventions Since World War II criticized
Roosevelt for providing no evidence when he ‘argu[ed] that Mossadegh had to be
removed to prevent a communist takeover’ of Iran. Blum noted that while
Roosevelt kept repeating how Mossadegh was a danger due to his seizure of the
oil industry and his other Socialist reforms as well as his cooperation with
the Tudeh Party, Mossadegh's role was much more nuanced. This view was
shared by many in the Intelligence community, although most notably the head of
the CIA station in Iran resigned


rather than participate in the coup.

Robert McNamara. The Fog of
War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara. 2003

Susan Sarandon: In the late afternoon of December 4,
1980, an unmarked grave was found in a field in El Salvador. When it was opened
in the presence of the U.S. ambassador, it revealed the bodies of four women:
Maryknoll Sisters Mara Clark and Eda Ford, Ursaline Sister Dorothy Kazel, and
lay missionary Jean Donovan.

Of the five officers later
found responsible for the rape and murder of these women, three were graduates
of the United States Army School of the Americas. According to the Pentagon,
the mission of the school is to train the armed forces of Latin America,
promote military professionalism, foster cooperation among multinational
military forces, and to expand the trainees' knowledge of United States customs
and


traditions.

The School of the Americas
originated in 1946 in Panama. Now, it is located on the grounds of Fort
Benning, Georgia. The school teaches commando operations, sniper training, how
to fire an M-16, and psychological warfare. Since no major declared war between
Latin American countries has occurred in decades and the communist threat has
vanished, why provide this kind of training?

Representative Joseph Kennedy: If you look at the course
ranges that are offered to these inividuals, they in fact are a dedicated way
of teaching military leaders in foreign nations how to subvert their local
communities.

Susan Sarandon: Since it opened, more than 55,000
military officials from 23 Latin American and Carribean countries have trained
at the school. About 2,000 students a year. As facts have emerged about the
school and its graduates, it has drawn the attention of agrowing number of
human rights activists, such as Maryknoll Father Roy Bourgeois.

Maryknoll Father Roy Bourgeois: Just down the road here is the
School of the Americas. It's a combat school. Most of the courses revolve
around what they call ‘counter-insurgency warfare.’ Who are the ‘insurgents?’
We have to ask that question. They are the poor. They are the people in Latin
America who call for reform. They are the landless peasants who are hungry.
They are health care workers, human rights advocates, labor organizers. They
become the insurgents. They are seen as ‘the enemy.’ They are those who become
the targets of those who learn their lessons at the School of the Americas…

Susan Sarandon: El Salvador is only part of the
school's story. In the entry area of one of its main buildings are photographs
of those the


school honors, its so-called Hall of Fame. At the top of the list,
Hugo Banzer, former dictator of Bolivia, a graduate of the school. Some of the
others similarly honored are the former dictators of Honduras, Ecuador, and
Argentina. And generals from eight other Latin and Caribbean nations, many cited
by human rights groups for involvement in human rights abuses in their own
countries.

Among other graduates, Manuel
Noriega, former president of Panama, currently in prison in the United States.
Four of the five ranking Honduran officers who organized death squads in the
1980s as part of Battalion 316, are graduates. Half of the 250 Columbian
officers cited for human rights abuses attended the school. The three highest
ranking Peruvian officers convicted in February 1994 of murdering nine
university students and a professor were all graduates. Also, the Peruvian army
commanderwho brought out tanks to obstruct initial investigation of the
murders.

During the dictatorship of the
Somoza family [in Nicaragua], over 4,000 National Guard troops graduated from the
school. Many of them later became known as the ‘Contras,’ responsible for the
deaths of thousands of Nicaraguan peasants in the 1980s. The general in charge
of Argentina's so-called ‘Dirty War’ was a school graduate. During that
internal conflict in the late-1970s and early-1980s, an estimated 30,000 people
were tortured, disappeared, and murdered.

General Hector Gramajo of
Guatemala was the featured speaker at the school's graduation ceremonies in
1991. Human rights groups claim he is the architect of strategies that
legalized military atrocities in Guatemala resulting in the death of over
200,000 men, women, and children…

Maryknoll Father Roy Bourgeois: And what's very important
right now I feel is to let out voices be heard.

A boom in the number of little spotted kiwi appears to be a conservation success story, but new research by a Victoria University of Wellington graduand shows that, in some populations, the rapid growth could be masking the potentially devastating impact of inbreeding.

Just over 100 years ago, the little spotted kiwi population experienced a bottleneck of just five birds. They were translocated to Kapiti Island where their descendants now number nearly 1,200. Subsequently, Kapiti Island birds were transferred to seven different predator-free locations, mostly offshore islands.

Helen Taylor, who graduates with a PhD in Ecology and Biodiversity in December, has studied the genetics of the two little spotted kiwi populations outside of Kapiti Island, that were founded with the least and most birds. One is on Longin the wild, continued reproductive success of founding birds could be masking problems with later generations.

"This certainly seems to be the case on Long Island, where the majority of the population is composed of the two founders and their first generation offspring. That first generation are all brothers and sisters so subsequent generations of chicks are highly inbred and seem to be failing to survive to adulthood.

"It's been assumed that little spotted kiwi are doing really well because the numbers are increasing, and that could be the case in populations like Zealandia with larger numbers of founders, but the Long Island population illustrates that this species is not immune to the harmful effects of inbreeding and must be managed carefully."

Helen urges caution with using population size to gauge


Picton, which collected radio transmitter data on my behalf from the kiwi on Long Island. I also had help from the Interislander ferry service, which gave me free trips—in exchange I gave talks about kiwi to passengers."

Helen's PhD was also supported with funding from the Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment, as well as a scholarship from the Allan Wilson Centre for Molecular Ecology and Evolution.

Helen, who's currently based in Dunedin as a postdoctoral researcher in the Anatomy Department at the University of Otago, is working with the Department of Conservation to co-author a species management plan for little spotted kiwi.

The CEO of Miso Real Estate commented on the recent purchase, “The JYP building is in a very desirable location in Chungdam. There are many big K-Pop companies around so it is known as the center of K-Pop. The environment is very active as well, it is very much worth investing in.”

fluid coupling which provides a spin weld join between first and second fluid carrying components.
In one aspect, the present invention is a method of forming a fluid coupling between first and second fluid carrying components. The method comprises the steps of forming an open ended, annular recess in one end of the first component, fixing a bonding material on a surface of the first recess in the spin weld compatible with the material of the first and second components, inserting the second component into the recess in the first component, and spin welding the first and second components causing the bonding material to sealingly join the first component to the second component.
In another aspect, the present invention is a fluid coupling formed of spin weld joined first andsecond fluid carrying components. The coupling includes a first component formed of a body having a through bore extending from a first end, a second component having a through bore extending from a first end, an open ended recess extending from the first end of the first component, a spin weld inducing bonding material layer disposed on at least one surface of the recess in the first component in the recess to spin weld join the first component to the second component.
The spin weld fluid coupling and method of making the same of the present invention provides a spin weld coupling between two fluid carrying components which uniquely enables the use of materials forming the first and second components which were previously too dissimilar to allow spin welding,


This is a beast with a convoluted history. It’s one of just three racing RR1000s produced by Erik Buell before the road version was released in the late 80s. The story starts with the Harley Owners Group, which asked Buell to make a chassis for a race bike using the Harley-Davidson XR engine: the rise in engine capacity from 750 to 1000cc for AMA BoTT racing had made the XR750 uncompetitive against most European high-performance motorcycles. So Buell designed an XR1000-powered bike with racing in mind. It appeared in 1986 and was known as “Lucifer’s Hammer II”, or more formally, the RR1000.

The RR1000 was a very small bike, with a wheelbase of only 136cm and a steering head angle of 25 degrees. It rolled on 16” magnesium wheelsThis invention relates to a machine for making and dispensing iced food products such as granitas, sorbets or slush drinks and the like.
Machines of this kind, commonly known as crushed-ice drink makers or slush machines, generally comprise a transparent tank, in which a fluid is mixed and chilled and eventually dispensed in the form of a granita or slush drink through a tap mounted near the bottom of the tank.
The tank is closed at the top by a removable lid and contains at the bottom of it an evaporator of a cooling circuit and a screw type stirring element.
The tank is generally in the shape of a parallelepiped, with the exception of the bottom of it which is rounded in such a way as to partly surround the


The sugar tax was mentioned in Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's National Day Rally as a solution that has been considered and implemented in other countries to reduce the intake of dietary sugar. He stated that over-consumption of sugar is correlated with an increased risk of diabetes, a major health issue in Singapore.

PM Lee's dietary advice is in line with the World Health Organisation's (WHO's) recommendation of curbing obesity by reducing excessive dietary sugar intake. Obesity, in turn, is linked to many non-communicable diseases, including diabetes. A 2013 study from Stanford University suggests that diabetes prevalence in a population is correlated with changes in sugar consumption.

From an economic perspective, an individual's over-consumption of sugar not only comes at a cost to the individual's health but also imposes externalFounded in 1837, Colby-Sawyer is a comprehensive baccalaureate college that integrates the liberal arts and sciences with professional preparation.

Diplomacy in Action

by Kate Dunlop Seamans

Nick Ciarlante '14 went south for spring break, but it wasn't to relax on a sandy beach. Ciarlante, president of the Student Government


Association, represented Colby-Sawyer and New Hampshire student government leaders at the American/ Israel Policy Conference (AIPAC) held March 3-6 in Washington, D.C.

The conference, with 13,000 delegates, is the largest annual gathering of the pro-Israel movement in the United States, and Israeli defense and homeland security, foreign aid, the peace process and U.S-Israel relations were on the agenda. Ciarlante was one of 217 student government presidents and 1,600 college students to attend the conference.

Ciarlante enjoyed a welcome dinner for America's Young Political Leaders and a Student Government Presidents Luncheon, and heard from speakers including U.S. President Barack Obama, Israeli President Shimon Peres and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, along with other government leaders and candidates for the U.S. presidency.It was incredible to see so many people from different political parties, races, religions and ethnicities come together because of the importance of having a strong ally in the Middle East, says Ciarlante. I had never heard of AIPAC before I was invited to attend, so the conference was not only an opportunity for me to learn about the importance of the U.S./Israeli alliance and U.S. foreign policy, but also an opportunity to network with thousands of other college students and adults from across the United States.

Back on campus, Ciarlante shared his experience in the nation's capital in a presentation attended by senior staff members, faculty, staff, students and community members. Hearing 'Hail to the Chief' played live and watching the president of the United States walk to

Hooper initially refused to cooperate with the other partners in securing a loan to pay the overdue taxes.  However, after Hooper was reelected President of the Board in the summer of 1989, he subsequently agreed to serve as a guarantor of the loan and use his home as a portion of the collateral.  According to Hooper, his concessions with respect to the loan were made in exchange for the partners' oral commitment that he would be permitted to serve as President until the loan was paid in full.

In September 1990, the Board--including Hooper--unanimously voted to elect partner Susan Withrow as President.  Soon after this vote,required 60 days notice of termination.

Hooper filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) in September 1991, claiming that he was terminated because of his age.  He later amended his EEOC complaint to allege that the partners retaliated against him for filing the complaint by, inter alia, not allowing him access to certain of his patient lists.  Additionally, during this time Hooper was negotiating with MMG for benefits he claimed he was due from a pension plan formerly administered by MMG, which was subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).

She said she was “not against immigrants, just against immigration”, implying that she would only tolerate immigrants who didn’t perform any immigration, ie stayed where they were in the first place. (She also declared, like many fascists before her, that the “enemy of the people” was “the world of finance”.) This overtly racist campaign won her second place in the first round of voting. She was handsomely beaten by Macron in the next, but still attracted more than 10 million votes.

The History of Service Steel, Inc. in Huntsville, AL

Service Steel, Inc. has proudly served construction teams, contractors and residents in Huntsville, Alabama with quality steel fabrication since 1965. We remain a family owned and operated company and a proud member of our local community.

Monty & Matt Taylor continue to grow and expand to meet the increasing demands of the construction industry. Herb Taylor founded and presided over the company until his passing in 2008. During those 40 years, Service Steel, Inc. expanded, adding employees and moving into a 27,000 square foot fabrication shop.

Recent expansions have increased our operating area to 49,750 square feet and new solar panels provide most of our energy requirements.

The book was open on his chest as he lay supine, his fingers dancing over the Braille “letters” on the page. I remarked about it, and his answer charmed me: he said that when he reads, he has ten eyes. I thought that was pretty cool.

By the time this story comes to a close both individuals will have to question the meaning of heroism and justice and determine what it means to fight for good.

This is one of those manga seriesof them in fact. One was born to be a hero, one is determined to make himself a hero. One is haunted by the consequences and sacrifices of saving innocents, another, in trying to achieve his dream as a hero cannot forget that one day he met the other, and in turn met a true hero, one who, no matter how hard he tries, cannot forget him and will find himself measuring each and every one of his actions against what he believes the other, the truer more righteous hero in his eyes, would do.

The golden bandicoot is one of 11 native mammal species being reintroduced to the 240,000 hectare former pastoral property, which is now an Indigenous protected area known as Mutawa.

Native animals have been declining in Australia's semi-arid and arid rangelands, mainly due to feral cats, foxes and bushfires.

The Martu Operation Rangelands Restoration project, jointly managed by the Department of Parks and Wildlife and the Martu people, aims to reverse the trend of native animal decline.

The golden bandicoots were brought to Mutawa from Barrow Island in 2010 and


fire was set deliberately, Daesh has previously targeted churches in France.

Back in 2016, two terrorists, who pledged allegiance to Daesh, took hostages in a Catholic church in Normandy during Mass, having murdered an elderly priest.

A year prior, an Algerian was arrested in Paris on suspicion of killing a woman, but French police found that he had been in touch with a Syria-based French-speaking jihadist about committing an attack on a church in Villejuif, a Paris suburb.

A massive fire broke out at the Notre Dame Cathedral on 15 April, causing its spire and two-thirds of the roof to collapse. Firefighters managed to extinguish the blaze only on 16 April, with investigators saying the possible cause of the inferno was a short circuit. While the inspection work of the damage

According to a published report by KISS will perform the final show of their farewell End of the Road Tour on July 17, 2021, in New York City. The band announced the details of its final performance prior to playing the second indoor show of this year’s Kiss Kruise. The band also has booked ninety new tour dates as yet unannounced.

“We’ve been on the ‘End Of The Road’ tour, and people have said, ‘When is the last show?’” frontman Paul Stanley said. “So, we’re here to tell you that the end of the road comes to an end on July 17, 2021 in New York City.”

“End Of The Road” kicked off on January 31 in Vancouver and will resume on November 16 in Perth, Australia.

She is between blues, anti-folk and indie rock. Berkeley studio sessions opened the doors to Regina Spektor in an intimate concert.

From Queen to Beatles or some Russian old bands, those are her main childhood musical memories. Growing up around musical influences, instruments and tuned vocal cords lead her way into the musical world. Her sweet voice and her light skin hide a great power and a fierce soul. Regina Spektor left the cold traditions of her country, Russia, at the age of nine and brought warm songs to the United States.

“For every place there is a bus that will take you were you must” is one of the verses that she sang in Santa Monica. And whether it was by bus or car, KCRW Berkeley Studio Sessions wasfilled with people to hear Regina. Playful and fun, but also deep and dreamy, her intimate concert warmed the studio. Behind the piano, her pure joy gave life to her smile and her voice conquered the exclusive public.

Between madness and timidity, between quiet and stirred songs, between English and French, the time passed along some of her songs. “What we saw from the cheap seats” is her new album and what the public saw in Santa Monica was a lovely and charming Regina. Her music is the tribute to Russian folk singers as also to blues and jazz inspirations. Her unique arrangements leave room for unpredictable exhibitions. However, there is nothing more singular than her remarkable voice.

Intense feelings are reflected in her voice

“Is that fog?” I asked the man sitting in the airplane next to me. He was quite friendly, and had been amusing himself by lecturing me on Chinese history.

“No!” he said, brightening. “Pollution! We make everything in the world!”

I felt a twinge. Something had lodged in my heart like a chip of ice, and I realized it was jealousy. I remembered that delight, that pride in making things.

Inna Modja

Born on May 19, 1984 in Bamako, Mali, in a Fula family, the sixth of seven children, Inna Bocoum owes her artist name to her mother, who gave her the nickname of Inna Modja, which means "Inna is bad" or "Inna is not good" in Fulfulde. When she was six, her parents enrolled her in a choir. At home, her father encouraged her to progress by playing her some records he liked (artists such as Ray Charles, Ella Fitzgerald, Otis Redding, Sarah Vaughan). She was also influenced by her older siblings, who transitioned into Thrash Punk, 80/90's Rap, Heavy Metal periods, in addition to Blues, Soul andDisco. As a teenager, she still alternated between Hard Rock and love songs. She regularly visited


her neighbour, Salif Keita, who invites her to be part of the Rail Band of Bamako, a group of swinging old men (Bossa Nova and Jazz), amongst whom he himself debuted.

She speaks against female genital mutilation, as she herself and her four sisters were circumsized without their parents' approval, an event she sang about in one of her songs. She since had reconstructive surgery done. She's also outspoken against violence against women, which she portrayed in the music video of her song "La Valse de Marylore".everyday life for fishermen eking out a living on the ocean. A determining factor for safe voyages, understanding the various indicators of weather was crucial for sailing out to or heading home from the fishing grounds.

Earlier this year, WBMNL Folklorists Crystal Braye and I travelled to the West Coast in search of the Bay of Islands dory and her builders. As we turned off the Trans-Canada Highway and drove along Route 450, the unique orange and green dories could be seen scattered along the coastline. We continued to the end of the road and found ourselves at a wharf in Little Port in the midst of lobster season. After explaining the purpose of our visit to the nearby locals, there was one name that came up repeatedly: Sam


Sheppard.

Located on the southwest coast of Newfoundland, La Poile Bay runs northward for some nine miles from its entrance. As you continue into the harbor, the bay is divided into several smaller bays, including North Bay and East Bay, with Dolman’s Cove separating the two. North Bay and East Bay are both well protected, with East Bay being much easier to access and closer to the cod fishing grounds.

St. Lewis, formerly known as Fox Harbour, was one of the earliest locations recorded by Europeans on maps of the New World. Depicted as Ilha de Frey Luis by Portuguese explorers on 1502 charts of Labrador’s coastline, the area’s sheltered harbour with access to fishing grounds and migrating seals made it an ideal location for both migratory European fishers andnative Inuit inhabitants. In the eighteenth century, Europeans began to settle permanently and the community became a vibrant fishing centre on the southwest coast of Labrador.

In summer of 1909 the schooner Little Jap left from Deer Island to fish on the Labrador Coast. She returned home with “six hundred quintals of salt bulk cod” at the end of October, a little later than was usual.

Known for its wild Atlantic salmon, the Gander River hosts thousands of tourists from all over the world each season. Located in central Newfoundland, the Gander River is the third largest river on the island and is internationally recognized as a world-class sports hunting and angling destination. The river flows through Gander Lake and past the towns of Appleton and Glenwood before draining into


the Atlantic Ocean at Gander Bay.

In 2013, the Wooden Boat Museum of Newfoundland and Labrador travelled to Glenwood, Appleton, and Gander Bay to learn about the unique Gander River Boat. Designed and modified by generations of boat builders, these boats are specially crafted for the rapids and shallow waters of the Gander River.

Once necessary for travel between the coast and inland settlements, Gander River Boats are now used for recreational salmon fishing and travel to cabins and outfitter camps along the river.

Originally known as Bloody Bay, and later as Alexander Bay, Glovertown was first settled in the early 19th Century. Rich in timber, by the end of the century at least ten sawmills were in operation and the area had developed a reputation for producing schooners.

In addition to being a key recruiter and proselytizer for the group, U.S. officials charged that Awlaki planned and ordered attacks against Americans.

A second American, Samir Khan, also died in the drone strike on Awlaki’s vehicle, while Awlaki’s teen-aged son, was killed in a strike several weeks later. A fourth American, Jude Mohammad, was killed in a 2011 drone strike in Pakistan. The Obama administration admitted last year that it killed Awlaki, but it insisted that the three others “were not deliberately targeted.”

Something did go very wrong at KÃ? during the second show on a seemingly routine Saturday night in the theater at the MGM Grand hotel. Sarah Guillot-Guyard, a 31-year-old Cirque performer, was suspended from a safety harness clipped to a cable as she moved up and down a 50-foot vertical stage, along with 16 other performers, during the show's battle scene climax - just as she had been countless times during her seven years on the show.

But suddenly Guillot-Guyard, a mother of two children, horrifyingly fell to the stage.

She "was being hoisted up the side of the stage and then just plummeted down," spectator Dan Mosqueda told The Las Vegas Sun. "Initially, a lot of people in the audience thought it was part of the choreographed


fight. But you could hear screaming, then groaning, and we could hear a female artist crying from the stage."

As the stunned audience was dismissed from the theater, Guillot-Guyard was rushed to the University Medical Center. The Clark County coronor pronounced her dead.

Shockwaves continue to reverberate. KÃ? was immediately shut down until at least next Tuesday pending investigations by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the coroner's office and Cirque du Soleil. The closure does not affect the 18 other Cirque shows across the country.

Speculation about what could have caused the accident has just begun: Was it a mechanical malfunction or human error? A Cirque representative, Renee-Claude Menard, would not discuss the open investigation. She would confirm only that Guillot-Guyard did not slip from her safety harness, as someJanuarius’ blood has ever liquefied in the presence of a pope, though this phenomenon has occurred on a number of other occasions. Some claim that the event has been occurring “up to 18 times each year for the past 600 years.”

Saint Januarius—or San Gennaro, as he is called in Italian—was an early bishop of Naples beheaded sometime during the persecution of the emperor Diocletian, which ended in 305AD, according to Christian tradition.

The first recorded liquefaction of the saint’s blood was in 1389, when a priest carrying the flasks with the dried blood was processing around the cathedral when he became aware that the contents had begun to liquefy and bubble. Since then the occurrence has become common, normally on days associated with the saint. The Catholic Church has


Zilpha Keatley Snyder, who mined memories of little demons at the foot of her childhood bed to spin tales of wonder, mystery and suspense that beguiled two generations of children and young adults in nearly 50 books, died on Oct. 7 in San Francisco. She was 87.

The cause was complications of a stroke, said her publisher, Simon & Schuster.

Most of Ms. Snyder’s books were intended for readers 9 to 13 and delved into subjects like witchcraft, murder and dysfunctional families. She mixed realism and the supernatural, and her stories often had endings that could be interpreted from either viewpoint. Her plots were tight, and her protagonists were often vital, thoughtful, courageous females.

Her books almost always received excellent reviews. Referring to her 1967 book, “The Egypt Game,” Zena Sutherlandpolitical transition in his own state of California, since the Spanish settlers had access to all the same crop and herd species as the Anglo-Americans (e.g., English-speaking Americans proceeded to make a lot of money off oranges in California).

"They lost control of California in the 1840s to Americans, who then engaged in intensive agriculture with massive irrigation."

Historically, the loss of control was to Californians engaged in the Gold Rush which brought about 300,000 people to the area from 1847-1855. Before then, "The "Californios," as they were known, consisted of about 800 families, mostly concentrated on large ranchos. About 1,300 American citizens and a very mixed group of about 500 Europeans, scattered mostly from Monterey to Sacramento dominated trading as the Californios dominated ranching.. . . By 1846, the


province had a non-Native American population of about 1500 Californio adult men (with about 6500 women and children), who lived mostly in the southern half. About 2,000 recent non-Californio, non-indigenous immigrants (almost all adult men) lived mostly in the northern half of California. . . . by the time of extensive European contact in the 1700s, that perhaps 300,000 Native Americans were living within what is now California. . . . By 1820 Spanish influence was marked by the chain of missions reaching from Loreto, north to San Diego, to just north of today's San Francisco Bay area and extended inland approximately 25 to 50 miles from the missions. Outside of this zone, perhaps 200,000 to 250,000 Native Americans were continuing to lead traditional lives."

The influx of minerscoincided with a dramatic reduction in the Native American population.

Mexico lost the Southwest in general as a condition of the Mexican-American war, which it lost largely in Texas. This war largely concerned U.S. annexation of Texas which had left Mexico largely because Americans moved there and wanted to plant cotton, while the Mexican government favored the farming of corn, grain and beef. The conflict in Texas that force the question in California, was over the type of farming to be conducted, not between farming and non-farming.

Agriculture in California underwent successive catastrophic booms in busts in cattle, sheep, barley and wheat (none of which were economically viable on a long term basis) through the 1890s. Irrigation argiculture wasn't the leading approach in California until roughly sixty years after Mexico


the history of the region but as yet not definitively determined; I favor a recent date in that range based upon the archeology). Some of the tributaries joined the Indus River basin, others joined the Ganges River basin. Looking at current climate, one would never suspect that the region was fertile.

The issue of historical v. current climate isn't specific to North Pakistan either. The Sahara was much more fertile and Lake Chad was the size of the Caspian Sea ca. 4000 BCE when Sahel agriculture developed. The Baltic Sea was in inland freshwater Lake for a significant proportion of the time after the LGM ( fact that illuminates the older archeological finds around its shores), and the Balkan Sea joined the Mediterranean in a similar timeframe, and theto mark the death of a colleague.

Details have just emerged of the incident on June 24.

Mike Critchley, of Warship World magazine, said: "This is typical US Secret Service going over the top. I'd have thought they could trust their British allies to not put a missile through the bedroom window of the First Lady."

A Navy spokesman said: "American officials did visit.

They wanted to know if the missiles were live.

When it was explained they were drill rounds, they went away content."

The White House declined to comment.

Flashpoint: Azerbaijan

He has a quote from Bloomberg News on how Iran is beaming Azeri-language programming to its neighbor in a bid to destabilize the pro-western government. Goldman mentions as well the fault lines of Azeri society and how they reflect the larger lines in the Middle East. Two-thirds of Azeris are Shi'ites, like Iran, and Azerbaijan has historically been known as northern Persia. But Azeris are ethnically Turkic and are viewed by Sunni Turkey as its own ancestral backyard.

At the political current events blog I read, Hot Air, a lot has been made lately of Turkey's drift towards Islamism and Iran. But in his blog post, Goldman sees rather that Azerbaijan is the wedge between the two and Turkey is moving into alignment with theage or older.

Digital Textbooks: What's Stopping Us?

Across the globe, paper textbooks are slowly being relegated to “thing of the past”-status to make way for enhanced digital textbooks. South Korea has already put into place an initiative to digitize all textbooks in public schools and higher education. India has rolled out several models of minimalist cost-effective tablets aimed at public school students, even in outlying areas. So why has the Book Industry Study Group (BISG) found that only 11% of higher education students in the U.S. have utilized digital textbook rental services? Why did 75% of those students surveyed in American universities say they still prefer print over digital for their school reading?

Happy Freedom Day!

It is "Freedom Day" in South Africa today. It commemorates the day we voted in our first free elections in 1994. It was also the first time I voted as I wasn't old enough before then to vote.

Prime” with Connor Trinneer and Dominic Keating

In Conversation: Writing Star Trek Enterprise– 90 mins

The roundtable includes: Brannon Braga, Mike Sussman, André Bormanis, David A. Goodman, Chris Black, Phyllis Strong, and Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens.

Brannon Braga was running late, so there’s a placeholder image of Braga on an iPad that they joke about. David A. Goodman leads off the roundtable.

The group goes around introducing themselves and how and when they came to the ENT.

Bormanis was a science advisor to Trek since 1993 and then was able to write freelance for VOY becoming staff for ENT.

Sussman and Strong were both started with VOY Season 7 and continued on to be part of the first group of writers for ENT.

The Reeves-Stevens’ started talking with Phyllis Strong back towards the end ofof the NX ships was following the real-world naming order of the space shuttles. The astronauts reached out the production team, but when it went up the chain of command to the network, UPN never cared to make the call to NASA to officially arrange it.

Sussman talks about the budget cuts of Season 4, and how it was also a bit of a blessing because if they could amortize the costs of the sets over multiple episodes (the multipart arcs) then they could afford better sets.

Coto wanted to do Col. Green and the eugenics wars (Augments), but then they heard Brent Spiner wanted to do an episode, so they changed him to Dr. Soong. Bakula and Coto praise working with Spiner.

Coto says Berman mentioned that William Shatner might


the Berman-era. Rick Berman says he never felt that he was the king of the kingdom after Roddenberry’s passing. He was doing a job, a job that he loved, but he never thought of himself as the bastion fans made him to be.

Nemececk posits that what initially made Berman the perfect person to take over from Roddenberry was eventually a bit of a liability, he thinks that if he had loosened the reins a bit to allow Trek to change and grow beyond circa 1991 (when he officially took over for Roddenberry) things might have been a bit different.

Conway says it was surreal to see how the Paramount lot changed afterward, all the stages, trailers, etc. that had been there since TNG (18-years) were now gone.

Mike Okuda talksabout how it was really hard to see things end, much of the production staff had been there since TNG. They had all become close and spent most of their waking days, during those 18-years, on the lot.

Braga reflects that his time on ENT was bittersweet. He can remember the exact day he burned out making ENT. But, he says, with 10-years of distance he finds it much sweeter. He loves his creation and loved working with the talented actors and production crew.

However, when I began to reread some of the early passages everything began to fit so clearly into the woven fabric of the book that I was quite surprised at how I had missed the clues all along.

By the end of the exploration I had warmed considerably to Jobs and began to admire his achievements and his struggle to become a more rounded human being.

Throughout his professional life Jobs seemed driven to achieve something that could transcend what had gone before. He wanted to bridge the gap between technology and the humanities. In one of the early retreats while setting up his new company Next, at age 31, he reflected on his motivation for setting up Apple:

“One of the things that made Apple great


drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed …. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can’t capture, and I found it fascinating…ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me… It was the first computer with beautiful typography.”

When it came to designing the logo for Next he hired Paul Rand and fought regularly with him over the aesthetics. Many of the volatile sessions with his colleagues, during which he often stormed out, were around issues of colour and design. He was concerned that the unseen parts of the product should be crafted beautifully. He was constantly developing the décor and furnishings of the new offices. He held back on his home furnishings as he felt the craftsmanship wasn’tetc. to avoid the fear of being abandoned.

John Sculley was the president of Pepsi Cola when they first met. He later became CEO at Apple which led to Jobs departure from the company. Sculley and Jobs had an intense period of getting to know each other during which they bonded firmly. The feeling was mutual. “Steve and I became soul mates, near constant companions,” said Scully. However, when Jobs began to see Sculley’s shortcomings, in particular that he had different views on people, especially when it came to talented people which Jobs was particularly good at, things began to fall apart. Jobs became very controlling and insistent on having his way especially when ‘his aesthetic passions and controlling nature kicked into high gear’. When the Four becomes overly

Throughout the book there are many instances of Jobs being moved to tears. When he moved back to Apple he spent a lot of time clearing the decks and bringing in his own team. In July 1997 he called Lee Chow, the creative director at Chiat/Day with whom he had worked before. Even years later the memory of the time he made he made his pitch moved him to tears.

“It choked me up, and it still makes me cry to think about it, …Lee cared so much…. Every time I find myself in the presence of purity – purity of spirit and love – and I always cry. It always just reaches in and grabs me.

Owen said in disbelief. "You came to the dinner at our apartment."

"Almost ten years," Michael said as he regarded Perin. "He believes Andor is twelve years old."

Perin shook his head thoughtfully. Owen was suffering from short-term amnesia. The healers had no explanation for the lapse. They were busy waiting for him to get better and nothing more. Perin wasn't sure waiting was the answer the Seers needed now.

"Recall Andor," Perin said. "Seeing him might shake his memory loose."

"Communications are patchy at best to the front line," Michael stated. The last thing he wanted was Andor here fretting over Owen's care. He was a big enough pain in the ass being light years away on the line.

"You have someone else in mind, don't you?" Perin askedloss of emotional control in a Seer of Owen's caliber, who was everything an exemplary Seer, was unnerving to her soul.
Chapter Three

Pacing was something he had become good at during the past few days. The small hospital room felt like a prison to Owen. His head was still spinning from what Viera told him. Did he really not remember the past ten years?

Owen nervously ran his hand through his hair. No. It couldn't be true. This was a dream and somehow he was still stuck in a coma. It was the only explanation. That was why everything didn't seem right, why the pieces didn't fit together.

The door to his room opened and he felt like he wanted to run. The healer was hovering, or so Owen thought. She


seemed to visit too often for his liking. Maybe she worried about him.

"I need to take your vital signs," she said in that terribly soothing voice. Owen sighed and sat on the edge of the bed ready for the hourly ritual to begin. This was getting annoying. He put out his arm and waited for her to attach the monitoring device to his wrist.

"You are refusing visitors," the healer said as she calibrated the device. "Why?"

Owen looked at her with an anger soaked stare. He knew he shouldn't feel anger toward her, but he did. This wasn't her fault, but he needed someone to blame.

"I don't want to see anybody," Owen finally said after a short silence.

"Representative Ethesreld has been here every day asking to see you," thea casual purple cloak and dress, very different from her public persona and formal attire.

"Owen," she said pleased to see him. She rose fluidly from her seat and greeted him gesturing for him to join her on the large couch.

"Thank you for having me, Representative," he said taking the seat she offered.

"Well, having a Seer as my personal bodyguard seemed like such a great offer," she smiled and then winked at him playfully.

"I'll do my best to do my duty," he said light-heartedly. With her, he didn't feel as though time were missing. Viera eased the constant pressure for him to remember. She didn't ask anything of him. He was thankful she had agreed for him to stay with her. He was thankful for her patience and compassion.


after Xavier died," he said the ache of loss feeling fresh in his heart. "It was a small piece of rope with a metal barb on the end and I would strike myself until I bled. I did it every night because I missed him so much. I was so empty."

Viera inhaled sharply at the thought of the agony which that would bring. Her eyes moistened at how terrible he must have felt day after day to inflict such punishment on himself. Maybe it was the only way he could relieve the internal torment of such a loss. Viera knew the connection between mentor and student was strong, but she didn't realize just how strong.

"It was the only thing that felt worse than him not being with me,"do you stop the sea from touching the shore?" she asked quietly. Things seemed so inevitable. Prime Minister Terrin would rule as a dictator and the Representative Corps would be impotent. They would be nothing but yes men to a government corrupted by the lust for power. The representatives would regret the day they voted yes to this measure.

Viera would need another plan and she would need it soon.

"Here is your security detail uniform," Captain Sinta, Viera's Chief of Security said. He handed Owen the gold and black uniform.

"You'll need a gun and set of cuffs," Sinta continued, handing them to Owen.

"I don't need a gun," Owen said looking over the uniform and gun. It was Viera's idea for him to put on the disguise


happened," Owen finally demanded.

"Punishment for Andor was severe," she said quietly. "You told me that we were to never have contact again."

Viera sniffled.

Owen rose from his seat and wandered to the viewport to look outside at the space surrounding the ship. He felt lost. All the things he should know, he didn't and he had to rely on Viera, or someone else, to tell him. He was like an infant needing nurturing.

"How do you stand it?" he finally asked.

"Stand what?"

"Knowing that I was so disappointed in you and now I carry on like I never was?"

Viera rose from her seat, moving behind him and placing a hand gently on his shoulder to reassure him that she was still there and she still cared. She cared for him deeplytalk and when words were just too much. She knew how to comfort without saying a word. The silence spoke more between them than words ever could.

Her hand gently gripped his as if to reassure him she was there and then the door clicked closed again and he was alone with the sound of the rain hitting stone and the memories he couldn't find inside of his mind.

Viera dealt yet another round of cards to Owen. To make time pass they found games to play and today it was Viera's choice of games. She loved playing cards, which Owen was not well versed in. He knew a few games he learned in military service, but they weren't appropriate.

"No reading my mind, Seer," she warned peering


without knocking. She was going to give him a piece of her mind.

"You have to go," Viera said using her most authoritative voice and putting her hands on her hips to punctuate her point.

"Please, I'm too exhausted to fight," Owen said not opening his eyes. He was pale and sweaty, lying in the bed. Viera feared for his life. He could die.

"I won't watch you die." She sniffled moving to sit on the edge of the bed. "Don't make me."

Owen reached his hand out shakily and touched his fingertips to her cheek, grazing against her jaw. She nuzzled her face to his hand. Touching him she felt sure and strong.

"I will be fine," Owen said and opened his eyes to look into hers. "You can help me getnodded in agreement.

Viera smiled shyly at him despite her pain. They had been close and even shared a bed when he was sick but now felt so different. His touch felt so much more intimate in the golden light of the morning.

"It feels better," she said noting how blue his eyes were. They seemed to reflect his moods.

"Maybe that was just a little too advanced," he admitted. "Next time we can take it slower."

Viera didn't want to take anything slower. For months, her mind ruled her heart. Being home lifted the weight of all the responsibilities from her shoulders, freeing her. She could see clearly and it was the first time in a very long time.

"Has there ever been a moment that is completely clear to you?" Viera


dream.

"Missing this," he said honestly. Now Owen knew what he was missing from his life. He needed someone to share everything he was and would ever be. Seers weren't allowed true companionship. Owen often believed it was because people feared them during their early years, but it was time to change what they believed. It was time for the universe and Seers to change.

"Isn't that dangerous?" Viera asked. She knew love was dangerous for a Seer or that was what Andor told her. Maybe Owen knew more about why Seers weren't allowed the one thing people craved--love.

"Not if you aren't a Seer anymore," Owen said and kissed her forehead again. Quickly she pulled away from him and looked into his blue eyes. He was still smiling.

"No," she saidwho he knew were gone. How could one person relive such a difficult moment in life? Why did he have to relive it?

"C'mon," she said taking his hand and pulling him back toward the bedroom. "Let's get some tea and we'll talk some more."

Reluctantly he followed her toward the kitchen and sat at the small table in the nook while she put on the water for tea. Finally, after placing the cups out and retrieving the kettle, she sat down and faced him.

"The memory is painful, but Perin said strong emotion could trigger your memories," Viera said quietly sipping her tea thoughtfully. She hated seeing him suffer.

"I don't want these memories," Owen said honestly looking deeply into her blue eyes. He was searching, but she didn't have any


Viera said and swiped at the tears forming in her eyes.

"Don't worry," Malhia said embracing her daughter. "When I put this dress on to marry your father, I cried like a baby."

Owen could feel Radya's eyes upon him as he checked his dress uniform again to make sure it was perfect. Owen wanted to be perfect for her and perfect for their day together.

"I will take care of her," Owen assured Viera's father. He could sense the man's hesitation about the wedding, but Radya was a good man and Owen knew he would not object to someone his daughter loved.

"I respect you as a Seer, but she is still my daughter," Radya said.

"There is no way I can understand, but she means more to mefor her alone to hear.

"Not too bad yourself," she whispered back.

They both turned their attention to the officiant who was silently waiting for them to finish their conversation. Owen found his hand was shaking slightly as he held hers. In all the time he could remember, he was never so nervous.

"On Ethesreld," the officiant began, "we celebrate the love of two people by the joining of their spirits.

"The ceremony is a simple one. There is no need for frivolity when it comes to love."

Viera grasped his hand tightly as the words were spoken. She was like a rock. So sure and so strong. He was a leaf shaking on a tree in the wind. You wouldn't know he was a battle-tested warrior by the way he was acting.

wrong. Andor should have been rejected as a Seer due to instability, yet the leaders wanted his power. Where were they now to see the end result pressure on him? Owen was the only witness to his final fracture.

Seers fractured during the history of the group and it was always a painful experience. Owen saw two other fractures after Parvel, he didn't want to watch another as their mind split into multiple pieces. Andor's final split would be very powerful and could kill them all. The wave of psychic energy would be dangerous because his power was so great.

"What will you do, Andor, hunt down all the Seers and punish them?"

There was no answer as Andor moved his hands around Owen's neck. He felt the railing of thebalcony pressing against his lower back, the stone digging into his skin. Andor reached into Owen's mind, shoving past any shield he managed to erect. Owen remained as calm as he could, but he knew consciousness would be leaving him soon due to lack of air. His eyes darted toward Viera, who stood in her wedding gown crying. The last memory of her he would have until he found her again.

Owen tried to convey his love for her with his eyes. He wanted her to know, no matter what happened, he would always be with her. Somehow he was resigned to his fate at Andor's hands for the moment, but Owen didn't want her to suffer the pain of his loss. He wanted her to know she would


chair where he was sitting. The anger was unbefitting a Seer. "I don't know what he is doing to her and I don't want to imagine it. He's sick and twisted."

* * * *

Viera sobbed as Andor made love to her for the second time since he entered the room. She agreed as long as Andor promised to leave Owen alone and never try to find him she would stay. Closing her eyes, she tried to imagine she was somewhere, anywhere, else as he took from her what he wanted.

Finally, Andor was satisfied. He stood from the small cot and began straightening his clothes. As Viera looked into his eyes, there was nothing. The windows to the beautiful soul she once called Andor were closed and dark.

She claimedit away as best he could. If Andor got fully inside of his mind, he would control Owen and force him to end his own life. It was the way Andor got through many battles at Owen's side. Killing was not the Seer way, but it was Andor's way.

Owen pushed harder against Andor, his staff pulsing with the extra effort of his mind. Inside Andor's mind, Owen found an edge where he could get inside. He slipped past any shield and found the blackness of the storm now raging around him. It was hard to keep focused as things flashed around him trying to frighten and distract him.

Pushing from inside of his own mind, Owen extended himself into Andor's mind. It was a tricky procedure and he felt


Michael had sworn Owen to secrecy about their fears, but used him as part of their insurance plan should something go wrong. And it went very wrong indeed.

Andor crumpled to the floor. Owen didn't check him. He knew there was time. Viera was his main concern.

He opened the door to where he thought Viera was held. She was huddled on the bed, naked, crying, her eyes puffy and red. Owen never wanted to see her this way and his heart clenched inside of his chest. He couldn't breathe. What did Andor do to his soulmate?

"Owen!" she exclaimed and launched herself from the bed, into his arms. He enfolded her in a hug, kissing the top of her head, trying to calm her. He was thankful to be holdingher close again.

"Did you kill him?" she asked clinging to his shirt with her hands as though she thought she might drown if she was away from him. She was desperate and scared.

Owen shook his head 'no.' It wasn't his way to kill another who deserved to be punished. Andor would answer for what he had done. Owen would see he returned to the Seers to pay for his actions. If only the Seers could hold together long enough to establish a new base of operations. Last Owen heard, the Seers overthrew the Prime Minister and established a new government.

"My love," he said and hugged her tightly again. "It's over."

"Owen, I let him do things to me, to save you," Viera admitted tears streaming down her cheeks. She


too long in his life to do what he wanted.

He loved her and he wanted more than anything to spend the rest of his days wrapped inside that love with Viera. It didn't matter where it took them, he wanted to be there. He didn't want to miss anything their life could offer.

Perin didn't take Owen's wish to resign from the Seers lightly. In fact, he was the reason Owen was still in the Capital. If it wasn't for Perin, Owen would have escaped as soon as he delivered Andor to them, but he couldn't refuse the older man one last chance to try to convince him.

Unfortunately for Perin, Owen would not change his mind, no matter what the older man said.

This paper reports the dimensional changes occurring in the different steps of the histoprocessing of tissues for light microscopy. Two water-miscible methacrylates used for embedding, namely 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and 2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate, were investigated. It was found that during stretching on the water bath and in the mounting step considerable size changes occur, which are of the same magnitude as during the dehydration step of histoprocessing. The final dimensions of the sections and of microscopic images are dependent on the response to surface tension at the water surface and mounting of the glycol and hydroxypropyl methacrylate sections, respectively.

The son of this city will rise Saturday with a heavy heart, swelling with pride yet burdened by sorrow.Oregon seniorwill close out his splendid college career in a hometown now scarred by tragedy, after the mass shooting during a country music concert on Oct. 1. The gentle giant who once worked as a ballboy for the Las Vegas Bowl will play his last game as an amateur in Sam Boyd Stadium when the Ducks take on No. 25 Boise State on Saturday (12:30 p.m. PT, ABC).The Ducks (7-5) arrived in Las Vegas on Monday. Their team hotel, Delano Las Vegas, is in the Mandalay Bay complex, whose signature property was the perch from which the Oct. 1 shooter targeted the open-air concert across Las Vegas Boulevard.As the teambusses approached the hotel Monday, Crosby — in Bus 1, of the six-bus convoy — experienced a chill."It felt eerie to me; it felt strange," Crosby said this week. "It just kind of hit me — this is where it happened."On Saturday, Crosby will honor the 58 victims lost to the tragedy by wearing jersey No. 58 when the Ducks face the Broncos. To Oregon football fans and the program, the Las Vegas Bowl is one last chance to cheer the left tackle, who blossomed from talented true freshman on the 2014 College Football Playoff team into the Morris Trophy winning senior who dominated opponents in 2017.To Crosby, it's the chance to honor the city that became his home as an elementary school kid, and which has an


take long.Oregon's star defensive end, a classmate of Crosby's who redshirted in 2014 and thus is a junior this season, recalls facing Crosby in practice when they were underclassmen. They were in their second season as Ducks when Jelks saw a switch flip with Crosby."We were doing one-on-one pass rush, and he literally picked someone up and threw him on the ground," Jelks recalled. "I was like: 'Huh. He's never done that before …'"As a sophomore, Crosby entered the starting lineup full-time. He played all 12 games at right tackle, opposite. After Johnstone graduated, Crosby was poised to take over protecting the UO quarterbacks' blind side, until foot injuries sidelined him for all but two games last season.Still, he found a way to make on impact on theprogram, in 2016 and for its future. The Ducks relied heavily on four redshirt freshman starters last season, and that quartet —and— will fill out the UO line along with Crosby on Saturday.Lemieux, selected by teammates as Oregon's most improved player this season, recalled the support Crosby provided him the past two years, when he was harshly critical of his own play."He was the guy to say, 'Hey, I was like that as a freshman, too' — which I doubt," Lemieux said. "But he said, 'Listen, and trust the process.' He's the guy who gave me the confidence to do that."Oregon's new head coach,, spent the regular season as the Ducks' first-year offensive line coach. He considers Crosby the best offensive tackle in college football, but is even


more appreciative of the senior's impact as a leader. To a coach, there's nothing more valuable than having a player with immense gifts who also is one of the team's hardest workers."It creates a special vibe in that locker room, one that other people want to follow," Cristobal said. "This is impactful. He's not only affecting the guy beside him, it affects all those around him."In his return from the foot injuries that plagued him last fall, Crosby got off to a stellar start as a senior. In each of the season's first two weeks, he was graded out as one of the best tackles in the Pac-12 by Pro Football Focus.Then, as October dawned, the shooting in his hometown. He spent anguished hours that night, and inthe coming days, reaching out to friends and family who were impacted by the violence. In turn, he leaned on his teammates for support.One of the country concert's promoters was a friend, Crosby said. Another friend of his worked in a local hospital helping victims that night. Thankfully, he didn't know any of the 58 killed, or the hundreds more who were wounded. But he knew plenty affected."Physically they were fine," Crosby said. "But still to this day, people are having flashbacks. Emotionally, they're not healed."On Saturday, in the Las Vegas Bowl, Crosby will honor his friends who were at the concert that night, and the victims of the horrific tragedy. He'll close out his college career by honoring the city he loves, and which he intends to

Donnie Snook, 41, is expected to enter pleas on eight charges, including making child pornography, on March 11. (CBC)

Saint John Police allege someone in former Saint John councillor Donnie Snook's home offered up young boys for live web cam sessions, claiming children in the city were widely available to him.

Someone in Snook's home also shared with an undercover police officer images of boys as young as toddlers engaged in various sexual acts with adult males and other prepubescent males, four search warrants that were made public on Tuesday allege.

Police seized several items from Snook's east side home on Jan. 9, including an iPad owned by the City of Saint John, video recordings and video equipment, according to the 568 pages.

When Snook was arrested by members of the


RCMP's Internet Child Exploitation Unit, he grabbed a laptop and tried to exit through the rear door of his Martha Avenue bungalow, the documents allege.

Snook, 41, is facing eight child exploitation charges, including three counts of touching a child for a sexual purpose, one count of making child pornography, two counts of distributing child pornography, and two counts of possession of child pornography.

None of the allegations have been proven in court.

The two-term councillor, who resigned in January, and now-suspended director of the Saint John Inner City Youth Ministry, is expected to enter pleas on March 11. He remains in jail.

The investigation against Snook could take up to a year or more to complete, according to Const. Gordon Redfurn, a member of the family protection unit.

Redfurn made the statementin an information to obtain warrants on Jan. 10 for a Starcraft camper that was parked in the driveway of Snook's home.

Police were searching for several items, including computer software programs, photos, videos, and cameras —"hidden or otherwise," according to the documents.

Officers also searched Snook's home, a black 2011 Ford Escape that was in the driveway and seized files from the Department of Social Development.

'Forbidden passion'

Some of the information from the four warrants has been blacked out, including any information that would identify alleged victims.

But the documents allege lengthy and graphic online chats between an undercover RCMP officer and an unnamed computer user at Snook's home about sexual encounters with young boys.

During a 90-minute chat on March 23, 2012, the unknown user said he was a "100 per


Saint John Police Force and investigators tracked the IP (Internet Protocol) address to a Martha Avenue residence.

Police executed a search warrant at the home, but found no child pornography on the computers.

As a result, Const. Sean Rocca believed an unknown person in the vicinity had been accessing the home network by hacking into the secure WIFI connection, the documents say.

Rocca "concluded that he must proceed with an investigational approach, as there are no grounds to permit any further searches at this time," according to the documents.

A year later, in March 2012, the Toronto officer communicated in an online chat with an unknown user who suggested he was "active" with two boys, would like to trade nude photos of them and was willing to travel with the boys tofacilitate a meet, police allege.

On Nov. 21, 2012, the RCMP's Internet Child Exploitation unit in Fredericton took over as lead investigators as "information received to this point suggests that unknown person(s) living at 575 Martha Avenue … could, in fact, be Saint John city councillor Donnie Snook," the search warrants allege.

Investigators mounted a camera on a power pole outside the home to determine who was at the home when the unknown computer user was online, according to the documents.

On the morning of Jan. 9, when someone working undercover knocked at Snook's door, the Toronto officer was in the middle of another online chat with the unknown user, who allegedly wrote: "(someone) at door … (see) (you) later?"

Snook was the only person home at the time, police allege. A

In a statement filled with hypocrisy, Speaker of the House John Boehner called Obama lawless because the president is looking at options for closing GITMO.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Obama is exploring his options for closing GITMO without congressional approval.

Rep. John Boehner responded to this news by saying,

An overwhelming majority of the American people and bipartisan majorities in the House and Senate oppose importing the terrorists imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay into the United States, yet the White House continues to move forward with its plan. Even as Islamic jihadists are beheading Americans, the White House is so eager to bring these terrorists from Guantanamo Bay to the United States that it is examining ways to thwart Congress and unilaterally re-write the law. Not only is this scheme


Mac Miller's family just released his posthumous album Circles, which Miller was "well into completing" before his death in 2018.

It seems that most fans are in agreement that Circles is a positive release, because it's been approved by his family and Miller was already working on it before his death. Many are celebrating and reminiscing about Miller, who was a beloved figure and an incredible musician.

However, posthumous releases sometimes raise thorny questions, especially when it's not as clear that the artist actually wanted the material in question to be distributed. This summer, a relevant debate ensued when Prince's estate announced that it would be releasing an album of never-before-heard recordings of songs that the late legend wrote and sold to other artists.

Called "Originals," the album was a collectionof demos and bootlegs. The songs were selected by none other than JAY-Z and Troy Carter, who sifted through Prince's extensive "Vault" recording collection of demos and B-sides to curate this new album. The LP, which was released on July 19, included many tracks that became hits for the artists who recorded them—like "Manic Monday," recorded by the Bangles, and of course, "Nothing Compares 2 U," which became Sinead O'Connor's signature song.

Still, despite its curators' influence and Prince's incomparable songwriting talent, this announcement raised some questions about whether Prince really would've wanted these songs out in the ether. Each track was recorded as a demo, and it's impossible to know whether their maker was satisfied with any of them.

Prince was a masterful producer, one who insisted on complete
