(KSDK Sports) -- The Cardinals announced today shortstop Rafael Furcal will undergo Tommy John surgery to the elbow of his throwing arm. Dr. James Andrews will perform the surgery.

The news isn't a surprise after Furcal experienced problems during spring training. The elbow caused Furcal issues last season which led to Pete Kozma receiving an opportunity to take over the position.

With Furcal out Ronny Cedeno and Kozma will compete for the starting role at shortstop. Kozma appeared in 26 games during the regular season where he hit .333 with 14 RBI's and two homeruns however, there were lapses in his defense.

The Cardinals signed Cedeno this offseason to give themselves depth off the bench in the event Furcal could not play. Last season with the Mets Cedeno played in 78SEOUL (Reuters) - SK Innovation Co Ltd is in talks to set up separate battery-making joint ventures with Volkswagen AG and Chinese partners, as the South Korean petrochemicals producer aggressively expands its involvement in electric vehicles (EVs).

The company confirmed talks with Germany’s Volkswagen for the first time, telling Reuters the pair were discussing building a factory together. It also said it was on the cusp of agreeing to build a plant in China with undisclosed partners.

The talks come as EV battery makers boost capacity to cope with fast-growing demand, as automakers race to develop vehicles powered by means other than petrol to meet increasingly stringent emissions regulations worldwide.

to matters arising out of that litigation. After that suit between Universal and Douglas was resolved, Gardner continued to represent Universal in non-intellectual property matters.
Meanwhile, in 1995, while Universal v. Douglas was pending, Douglas sued Henry Kaplan, its attorney in that matter, for legal malpractice. In 1998, Gardner received a subpoena from Kaplan for Gardner's files in the Universal v. Douglas trademark suit. An attorney at Gardner contacted Neil Coleman, the president of Universal's parent company, and asked whether Universal wanted Gardner to review the files for privileged or confidential information before producing them pursuant to the subpoena. Mr. Coleman told him to produce the documents without reviewing them first. Kaplan's counsel reviewed the files and made copies of some documents in 1999.
Also beginning in 1995 and continuinguntil 2000, Douglas and Universal exchanged letters discussing Douglas' claim that Universal was infringing the two patents on which it had offered a license during settlement negotiations in Universal v. Douglas. All correspondence relating to these claims was directed to Universal's counsel in Kansas City, and Gardner was unaware of the continuing dispute.
In June 2000, Douglas approached Gardner about the possibility of representing it in some patent prosecutions against Tabco, Inc., International Gamco, and BK Entertainment, Inc., three companies that Douglas believed were infringing the same two patents on which it had offered a license to Universal. During preliminary negotiations Gardner told Douglas that it still represented Universal in some matters. There is a dispute about what Douglas told Gardner about its intent to pursue a similar claim

“The detail is fantastic – these guys were absolutely at the top of their form,” said Steve Clare, who has led a major restoration project on the


glass with his son, Jack. He also looks after the famous stained glass at King’s College, Cambridge, but says the quality of the glass at The Vyne is as good – and may have been made by the same Flemish craftsmen.

Henry himself, who visited the house several times, would have seen the windows – and his second wife Anne Boleyn may have seen the portrait of her predecessor. The glass was commissioned by Sir William Sandys, his Lord Chamberlain, who remained loyal to his king but also to Catherine, keeping the windows and her pomegranate emblems in wood carvings when many others took account of regime change and swept away any traces of her reign.

The windows are regarded as among the best from the period not just inthe UK but in Europe. But the glowing colour and exquisite detail was in danger of complete destruction as pollution attacked the glass from outside and condensation from the inside, causing water to pool on the lead glazing strips against the fragile painted surface.

Sandys commissioned the windows for a nearby church but at some point moved them to his magnificent private chapel at The Vyne, which is how they survived. According to family legend, shakily supported by a 19th-century note in the archives, the glass was taken out in the English civil war, packed into crates, and sunk in the fish ponds in the garden. Other glass from the original windows went to another church, where it was destroyed in the second world war.

Well company has cleaned the fragile painted surfaces but repaired cracks and re-leaded sections only where they left the panels unstable. They are now being reinstalled in front of plain outer windows, with a gap to allow air to circulate around the Tudor glass, which should help preserve them for centuries to come. The ugly outer grilles and encroaching shrubs have also been removed, so light streams in again through the jewel colours.

The restoration has been conservative, keeping not just every inch of the Tudor glass but the discoloured repairs from the 18th century and cruder repairs from the 1940s.

STORRS, Conn. - UConn freshman Tage Thompson (Orange, Conn.) was named the Hockey East Pro Ambitions Rookie of the Week on Monday by the league office. It is the first Hockey East weekly honor for Thompson.

Thompson became the second Husky rookie this season to record a hat trick, netting three goals to help lead UConn to a 5-2 win over No. 7/8 ranked Boston University last Tuesday at the XL Center. All three of Thompson's goals came on the power play, becoming the first Husky to scored three times on the power play in a game since 2011. He scored the game's first goal to give the Huskies a first period 1-0 lead and then buried two in the third period as UConn built their lead over BUAward-Winning Vietnamese Film Pulled From Local Release Over Intimate Scenes Involving Teenage Actress

Ash Mayfair's 'The Third Wife', which won prizes at Toronto and San Sebastian festivals, stars actress Nguyen Phuong Tra My, who was 13 years old during shooting.

Vietnamese director Ash Mayfair’s multiple award-winning drama The Third Wife has been removed from cinemas in her homeland after growing public concerns over intimate scenes involving its teenage lead actress Nguyen Phuong Tra My.

According to a local media report, Vietnamese production house Ba Sac Cau Vong pulled the film from cinemas Tuesday after asking permission from the country’s Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. The ministry had, in turn, asked for a reclassification of the film.

The decision to pull the film, which was released last Friday in Vietnam with an


18 rating, was taken after growing online criticism of My's family for allowing the actress to take part in the film, which deals with mature themes and includes intimate scenes between My and her older co-stars. My was 13 at the time of the shooting.

The Third Wife is the debut film by Mayfair, a Ho Chi Minh City-born New York University-trained filmmaker, and it follows the path taken by a young woman in 19th century Vietnam as she enters an arranged marriage with a much older man, becoming his third wife.

Producer Tran Thi Bich Ngoc told VN Express International that the actress had not been “harassed nor her body exposed” during shooting and that Mayfair’s script — based on a story from her own family history — hadbeen approved by Vietnamese authorities. They said they suspended the release of the film to protect My and her family from online criticism.

The Third Wife is currently on limited release in North America after opening May 15. The film been sold to 27 other markets, according to press reports.

After securing international support from the likes of the Spike Lee Production Fund and the Hong Kong Financial Forum (HAF), the film made its debut at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival in September, where it picked up the Netpac Award.

The Third Wife has since picked up awards at other festivals, including those held in Chicago and San Sebastian, and has been met with wide critical acclaim. The Hollywood Reporter's reviewer Neil Young wrote that the film was "sensitively poetic

The Nashville Dominicans, the Sisters of Life and the Missionary Sisters of St. Charles Borromeo were all present. Dozens of seminarians were on hand from both of the seminaries of Denver, as well as many members of the clergy.

Hot sun rays squeezed juicy scents from the mangos and papayas and sent them swirling into the air, and up my nostrils.

The following is an excerpt from our project Charlottesville: One Year Later. Yahoo News spoke to over a dozen people connected to the deadly August 2017 rally in Charlottesville, Va., about how things have changed over the past 12 months. To read the rest of their stories, click here.

In the weeks after the violence in Charlottesville, Sen. Tim Kaine traveled around Virginia, trying to wrap his mind around how something so horrific could have happened in his adopted home state.

It was personal. The Democratic senator knew both of the Virginia state troopers who


had been killed in a helicopter crash while monitoring the deadly rally. One of them, Jay Cullen, had flown him all over the state when Kaine was governor. The other officer, Berke Bates, was friendly with Kaine’s wife, Anne Holton, who had worked as Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s education secretary. But it was more than his human connection to the tragedy that shook him.

A mayor of Richmond before his rise in state and national politics (including his stint as Hillary Clinton’s 2016 running mate), Kaine could not grasp how this could have taken place in Virginia, a state that, in his mind, had worked hard to overcome its ugly history of racial division. The first state to enshrine legalized slavery, home of the old capital of the Confederacy, Virginiawe have some people trying to drag us back,” he says. “There are people who want to drag us back, sadly even including the president, who stokes division and hatred, who couldn’t tell who was on the right side and wrong side in a white-supremacy rally in Charlottesville, which demonstrates a level of moral confusion that almost certainly is intentional rather than accidental.”

Touring the state for a series of previously scheduled town halls in the weeks following that deadly weekend, Kaine found himself standing before other Virginians who were as shocked as he was. “This is not who Virginia is,” he told constituents again and again.

But a year later, tensions between the old Virginia and the new remain.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry organised a Finnish-Swedish Forest Friends Forever conference in Hanaholmen Cultural Centre, Esbo on 17-18 April. On the agenda at the conference were topical forest research and innovation projects, bioeconomy and forest policy, also discussed by the Minister of Agriculture and Forestry of Finland Jari Leppä and Minister for Rural Affairs of Sweden Sven-Erik Bucht.

The conference was a follow-up to the Tandem Forest Values research programme launched in 2017 to deepen research cooperation and promote the development of new bioeconomy products. By organising the event Finland also thanked Sweden for donating 12 two-year post-doctoral positions to honour the centenary of Finland’s independence.

Investments in bioeconomy innovations

Many of the inspiring presentations stressed the importance of research and innovation in promoting forest industry. A joint exhibitionof the New Wood Project and Aalto University presented new products made from wood, including wood fibre clothing and ecological alternatives to plastic bags. Innovations were also among the key themes raised in interviews with the ministers.

“We can significantly boost the creation of new innovations by bringing together the most skilled people in Finland and Sweden and giving them ambitious challenges to be solved. This requires sufficient financial inputs from both countries as well as from the private sector”, Minister Leppä said at the discussions between the ministers on Wednesday.

At the conference venue an exhibition of the New Wood Project and Aalto University showcased new wood-based solutions. The materials on display included biodegradable packages for cosmetics.

The aim of the Forest Academy for Decision Makers programme is to promote discussion on the opportunities offered by the sustainable use of forests.

The conference brought together almost a hundred participants from Finnish and Swedish government organisations, research institutes and forest companies. The next follow-up in the process will be in Lund in 2019.

The conference culminated with two excursions, one to Bioruukki pilot centre of the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland in Esbo and one to forests owned by the forest company Tornator, where the visitors had the opportunity to learn something new and enjoy the sunny spring weather.

John Hick married Margaret Bashall (1824–1872), eldest daughter of industrialist William Bashall, partner in Bashall & Boardman of Farington Lodge, near Preston on 24 June 1846, they raised four daughters.

Following Margaret Hick's death in 1872, Hick married the sister of his son-in-law, Rebecca Maria Ashworth (1838–1908), eldest daughter of Edmund Ashworth JP (1800–1881) of Egerton Hall on 16 December 1874 at Holy Trinity Church, Clapham; the couple were married by Margaret Hick's cousin and brother-in-law Reverend William Bashall (1830–1902), Vicar of Deane, Lancashire, by special licence from the Archbishop of Canterbury, Archibald Tait. Edmund Ashworth was a cotton manufacturer, proprietor of E. Ashworth & Sons and Egerton Mill, founder member of the Anti-Corn Law League with his brother Henry


local industry; Hick raised the issue of pollution in the Ribble during the third reading of the Rivers Pollution Prevention Act 1876. Aspinall and Hick fought a publicised and successful legal battle in the Court of Chancery against the cotton mills of Mitchell and Carlisle during July 1880 leading to a landmark judgement that set a precedent for controlling environmental pollution.

The river ran close to Mytton Hall where landlord Aspinall held the fishing rights and John Hick was lessee from 1874. The trial was presided over by the Vice-Chancellor of England, Sir James Bacon. In December 1880 Hick and Aspinall received presentations at Mytton Hall from the local angling community in recognition of "...their services in preventing pollution to the River Ribble and its tributaries".

The ‘New Jew’ would be strong, able to defend himself, and productive. And in the eyes of Herzl and his contemporaries, productivity meant one thing: engaging in agriculture.

in the game is spot on. You'll get to watch the South Park characters you're so familiar with do the things they do, in the way they do them, while interacting with one another and with your character. I found the story largely fun and interesting.

I was often quite pleased with the developers' efforts to include as many South Park characters as they could in the game. This could not have been an easy task to accomplish, but the game is solid through-and-through with the show's characters, and because the show has been running so long, these characters bring with them their histories, backdrops, and references that the South Park fan should thoroughly enjoy.

Character customization is very in-depth for a game with such a simplistic visual style. You'llthe game. Before long, you’ll find yourself involved in a real-life role playing game with the other kids in South Park. There are two factions – The humans, led by Cartman, and the elves, led by Kyle. Both factions fight over a stick – the titular Stick of Truth, which supposedly possesses the power to control the universe.

Both language tasks induced significant BOLD response in Broca's and Wernicke's areas with a tendency of left lateralization. The number of subjects in terms of the activation of both language tasks in Broca's and Wernicke's areas accounted over a half of the total subjects. As compared with the phonologic judgment task, the semantic judgment task showed better reproducibility in Broca's area. In the same spatial distance of ROI centroid coordinates, the stability of Broca's area was higher than that of Wernicke's area while the stability of semantic judgmentAuthor and Tattoo Enthusiast, Frank Bill Shares a Short Story with Grasshoppertattoo.

Author Frank Bill is no stranger to a tattoo shop. The pieces below are just a few examples of the interesting and often macabre images that the internationally renowned author has selected for his body art.

However, these dark, eastern inspired images are by far not the most interesting way that Mr. Bill expresses himself. Frank’s unmistakable signature writing style and disturbing knowledge of the Bible Belt’s unattractive underbelly have given birth to some of the most twisted tales ever to grace the pages of Playboy Magazine. His critically acclaimed works include the story collection Crimes In Southern Indiana and Donny Brook ( currently in production to become a feature film).

So if uncensored, gritty, southern violence is what


you crave, Frank has been so generous as to provide grasshoppertattoo with a little taste of what he has to offer in the form of a short story..

NOSTALGIA PURVIS – FRANK BILL

She’d died and lived to tell about it.

Part of herself sprayed from her temple like ivy. Hugged her jaw line. She tasted the smell of rubber and rusted wheel wells. Scents that branded her years before. She took a right cross to the solar plexus, tightened her abdominals, dug an uppercut into the heaving hairball of a man’s kidneys.

The slap of bone and sweat meshed the air.

She rarely used a firearm. Preferred fists, fingers, elbows and knees. Proving herself gave her another reason to exist. This one, like the others, owned a salvage yard.

Sometimes their vehicles hadsee her parents from Missouri to Indiana. Buying bags of chips, a soda. The stopping down the road for a boy, her car idling as he got in. The toxic scent forked through her nasal passage and lips, screams from the backseat, a female rustled from sleep, now smears of regret.

She’d blacked in and out of consciousness, felt branches carving into her legs and arms, rocks denting her skull into a dull state of being. Remembered words wobbling through her mind, “This one got too much gamecock in her.” Then came the damp moss that replaced her air as she watched the shadows expire.

That’s when she died.

Now, pain was no longer felt, it was earned.

The man came forward, met her instep, slammed his face into hers. Buckled her


teeth. She swallowed grit. Her sight rattled and the memory of the girl streamed through her mind; hair the color of a wasp, eyes blue as the Great Lakes and pigment the shade of a vanilla wafer.

She clutched the hairy man’s loose hanging balls within his sweat pants with one hand and his lard-locks with the other, tugged each and met his snout of black heads with her teeth, bit down and kicked his legs from beneath him.

His outline jarred the dusty lot. She spit and straddled the man, rolled him face down, twisted one arm behind his soiled back, then the other and snapped the cuffs around his wrists.

Standing, she tasted his filth and listened to him bleed with screams.

“Who the shit is you?”

The president stated that minorities had always played a proactive role for the development and progress of the motherland and their sacrifices in the defence of the country were less than none.Published in The Express Tribune, August 13, 2017.


Today, precisely 50 years after humans first set foot on the moon, many wistful Americans are surely experiencing peak nostalgia, longing for a time when millions of people could put aside their differences and delight in the nation’s scientific ingenuity and spirit of exploration.

But while the exceptionalism of the Apollo 11 achievement cannot be denied, perhaps the popular conception of a time when all Americans could briefly ignore politics and social unrest for a few days of national glory deserves to be questioned.

Circuit Court Judge Mike Jones made his criticism as he sentenced Brian Parker Peden to a year in county jail - the maximum sentence for criminally negligent homicide. Peden, who turned 20 in June, was initially charged with manslaughter in the April 23, 2015, crash that killed Shirley Brannon, 47, of Florence.

"How any jury could find this not reckless is beyond me," Jones said during Peden's sentencing, according to the Times-Daily.

The newspaper reports that Brannon's family had harshly chastised jurors earlier in the sentencing hearing for their decision


to convict Peden in May of a misdemeanor instead of the felony manslaughter, which would have sent him to state prison instead of county jail.

The jury's verdict form, filed with court records in his case, indicates the jury found that he was "not under the influence of a controlled substance to a degree which renders him incapable of safely driving."

That decision was made despite testimony during the trial that indicated Peden had Xanax and the pain medication Tramadol in his system at the time of the wreck. An investigator testified that Peden was going nearly twice the 45 mph speed limit when he ran a red light at the intersection of Cloyd Boulevard and Darby Drive and collided with Brannon's car.

the company of an informer and under the surveillance of a federal narcotics agent, went to the corner of 39th and Union Streets in Philadelphia and met the appellant. The undercover agent then purchased three envelopes of narcotics from appellant, who refused to make a direct sale to the agent, but in his presence, sold to the informer, who immediately gave the envelopes to the agent, in appellant's presence.
The informer's identity was not disclosed by the District Attorney's office; his name did not appear as a witness on the indictment and he was not called as a witness at the trial of the case. The appellant did not ask for a Bill of Particulars prior to trial, but did demur at the close of the Commonwealth's case onfair and complete as to the Commonwealth's failure to call the informer.
Judgment affirmed.
DISSENTING OPINION BY HOFFMAN, J.:
In my opinion, the lower court erred in refusing, after timely request by defense counsel, to order disclosure of the informer's identity.
The Commonwealth produced only two witnesses to the alleged narcotics sale. Both were police officers who had not previously known the seller. One of the officers observed the transaction only from a distance. They testified that it was the informer who was personally acquainted with the seller and who introduced him to one of the officers. They testified further that it was the informer who made the actual purchase of *252 narcotics. Although the informer was an immediate participant and an eyewitness to the entire transaction, he was not produced at


TOWSON, Md. — A grand jury on Monday returned a 16-count manslaughter indictment against the engineer of the Conrail locomotive that collided with a passenger train and killed 16 people in the worst accident in Amtrak's history.

Ricky L. Gates of Essex operated his unit of three Conrail locomotives in a "grossly negligent manner" in what amounted to a "wanton or reckless disregard for human life," according to the Baltimore County grand jury.

The Jan. 4 accident near Chase, Md., also injured 175 people.

Failed to Stop Locomotives

Investigators have said that Gates, 32, failed to slow or stop the locomotives at signals before they jumped through a switch and into the path of the 600-passenger Amtrak train.

Baltimore County State's Atty. Sandra A. O'Connor, who announced the indictment, said Gates had "runrelease its findings into the crash late this summer.

Both Resigned

Gates and Cromwell resigned from Conrail last week before the completion of disciplinary hearings. They had been suspended without pay after the accident.

Traces of marijuana and its byproducts were found in blood and urine samples taken from Gates and Cromwell several hours after the accident, but federal officials have questioned the validity of the tests.

On Friday, Gates pleaded guilty to driving a car while under the influence of alcohol and two other traffic violations stemming from an incident about a month before the crash. He was fined $1,000 and ordered to undergo counseling.


Tehran, SANA- Chief of the General Staff of the Army and Armed Forces, Lt. Gen. Ali Abdullah Ayyub on Tuesday held a session of talks with Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Hussein Dehqan.

Talks centered on assessing the joint efforts for combating Takfiri terrorism and the necessary steps for facing the rapid developments and the challenges facing Syria and the region, and the prospects of cooperation for overcoming them.

Gen. Ayyub hailed Iran’s “firm stances in support of the Syrian people and army and their role in combating terrorism and preventing its spread in the region and the world.”

He reiterated that the Syrian Armed Forces “will continue their war against terrorists till liberating all the Syrian territories,” affirming that “the only way to foil this conspiracy is enhancing the alliancetheir mates at the Church of Cargo Cult Economics – you know the place on the corner with the sign – Abandon hope all ye who enter here”

Nearly thirty years of existence, Holy Moses were in England for the first time in... who knows how long.

This show was apparently, as she said, "the best breakfast I've ever had". Hopefully this will have opened a few more doors for the band over in thismessage. The audience likewise had a clear message for the band. It has been too long since Twisted Sister have been in this country, and they have been missed. England is the place that this band found their feet in the early days, and the sheer volume and enthusiasm of the audience were genuinely a pleasant surprise for the band who, even though do their shocked-at-how-loud-the-audience-is-routine everywhere they go, really were taken aback this time resulting in Jay Jay urging people to get on the internet and start posting so they have something to show promoters.

Palestinian killed during Israeli raid in the West Bank

Video of the killing shows Palestinian man being beaten by soldiers after a raid by Israeli troops in the West Bank.

Israeli forces detained more than 30 Palestinians in raids across the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem last week [File: Mohamad Torokman/Reuters]

A Palestinian man has been killed by Israeli security forces following a confrontation in the occupied West Bank on Thursday.

A Palestinian official described the killing as an "execution", while the Israeli military said it was in self-defence.

Yassin Omar al-Saradih, 33, died shortly after being taken into custody by Israeli security forces in Jericho early on Thursday, Palestine's Maan news agency reported.

The Israeli troops had launched an operation to arrest "suspects" in the town, theIsraeli military said in a statement without elaborating.

Video footage of the incident - published by Israel's Haaretz and Times of Israel news sites - showed soldiers kicking and striking a man, identified by Palestinian officials as al-Saradih, after appearing to have shot him.

The Israeli military confirmed the video shows an incident that took place early Thursday in Jericho, Hareetz reported.

Issa Qarage, head of the Palestinian Committee of Prisoners' Affairs, said al-Saradih's death was caused by severe blows to his head.

The killing was a "crime, execution, and premeditated murder at the hands of [Israeli] occupation forces", Maan quoted Qarage as saying.

The Israeli military said the man had attempted to attack soldiers and it was investigating the incident.

"In response to the immediate threat, the troops fired toward the assailant and


confronted him from close range and were able to stop him," the statement said.

"A knife was also found in his possession. Troops evacuated him to a hospital to receive medical treatment. His death was later announced. The incident is being reviewed."

The killing comes a week after Israeli forces detained more than 30 Palestinians in raids across the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Israel occupied the Gaza Strip, West Bank, and East Jerusalem in 1967. Today, between 600,000 and 750,000 Israeli settlers live in more than 200 Jewish-only settlements on occupied land, which are illegal under international law.The hunt is on for the £26million allegedly pocketed by a British rogue trader accused of triggering a £570billion Wall Street crash from the suburban semi he shares with his parents.

Navinder Singh Sarao, 36 – who called the FBI's fraud allegations 'a bolt from the blue' – was warned at Westminster Magistrates' Court yesterday that he faced a 380-year prison sentence in the United States.

Sarao allegedly masterminded – from his home computer – the Wall Street 'Flash Crash' of 2010 in which almost a trillion dollars was wiped from global share prices. But the whereabouts of his alleged £26million profit was a mystery last night.

Scotland Yard's extradition unit arrested Sarao on Tuesday night at the request of the FBI, which claims he set up an offshore company in the Caribbean called 'Nav Sarao Milking Markets' and arrogantly told financial officials to 'kiss my a***'.

In West London, neighbours of the man now dubbed the 'Hound of Hounslow' were puzzled by his supposed wealth, saying he lived humbly.

Even District Judge Quentin Purdy questioned the vast haul, saying: 'That amount could well buy a home somewhere more lush than Hounslow. So where is it?' Prosecution barrister Aaron Watkins warned Sarao that, if convicted, he faced a 'lengthy' jail sentence.

Despite appearances, Sarao, whowas scruffy and dishevelled in the dock, was able to offer a £5million surety to secure conditional bail. Last night he was still in custody as he tried to access the funds.

The former Brunel University student allegedly made £550,000 in five minutes on the day of the crash in May 2010 when £570billion ($850billion) was wiped from the value of the world's biggest companies. It was the biggest one-day collapse in Wall Street history and sent New York traders into a frenzy.

Sarao allegedly used computer programmes to create fake transactions on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) – all from his three-bedroom home in Hounslow, where yesterday the curtains were drawn and a battered Vauxhall Corsa was parked outside. His father Nachhattar Singh Sarao reportedly vowed: 'We will fight


the claims – it's all a set-up.'

The Brunel University graduate lives at home with his parents, is said to be 'scruffy', 'not flashy' and does not own a car - but is often in his father's Vauxhall Corsa, neighbours have said.

After graduating he started trading at Futex in Woking, where mentors quickly realised he had a talent for trading - and making money.

A former colleague told The Times: 'For him it was like playing a video game. He didn't care if he was up or down, it was about beating the system.'

Sarao is said to have 'loved making money, not spending it'.

There was said to be an ongoing joke in the office that 'Nav', as he was known to friends, was so frugal he would not arrive in'When the trade came back he took all his clothes back.'

He was also Futex's most profitable trader and would not look up from his many screens between 2pm and 9pm - when the US markets were open.

New graduates would be shown to his desk to watch him work where he would show them, in his words, 'beautiful' trading graphs, but was unable to express how and why it occurred.

WHAT WAS THE £570BN 'FLASH CRASH' AND HOW DID IT HAPPEN? A flash crash is a sudden plunge in stock prices. On May 6, 2010, the US stock market dramatically collapsed – wiping billions off the world's biggest companies. Between 2.42pm and 2.47pm, the Dow Jones shed 600 points, having already been down more than 300 points – a startling


6 per cent fall in just five minutes. Very soon it had recorded an almost 1,000-point loss on the day. But, by 3.07pm, the market had miraculously regained most of the 600-point drop – making the flash crash the second-largest point swing ever recorded. Hours later, European markets opened and crashed in similar fashion. The UK's FTSE 100 fell 138 points, France's Cac shed 163 points, and Germany's Dax dropped 193 points. The cause of the crash puzzled US officials. Theories included technical glitches, high frequency trading or changes in market structure – but never criminal activity. Advertisement

He left Futex in 2008 and after a short stint in the City started his own business, before the 'Flash Crash', but he is still remembered for his trades.

Senior trader MiltoSavvidis spoke at a conference at King's College in London in March and said: 'During the financial crisis, this guy, for want of a better word, had balls. He used to get into big positions, he saw the risk, he saw the reward, and he took on the trades.'

Another trader said last night: 'Nav was a legend wherever he worked'.

Other traders fear that Sarao is being used as a scapegoat by the US authorities.

Expert Remco Lenterman, MD IMC Financial Markets in Amsterdam told Bloomberg: 'To say it's one guy who caused this is ludicrous. To say that it contributed, that makes more sense. Many factors contributed.'

Nick Leeson, a rogue trader who brought down Barings Bank, Britain's oldest investment bank, told LBC Radio: 'I think he is surrounded by


who allegedly told suspicious American officials just days later to 'kiss my a***'. But Navinder Singh Sarao is no 'Wolf of Wall Street'. Instead, the man accused of triggering the 2010 'Flash Crash' operated from his parents' modest three-bedroom semi-detached house in west London. The 36-year-old trader, now dubbed the 'Hound of Hounslow', lives with his parents and drove their beaten-up Vauxhall Corsa. Schoolfriends recalled a 'prankster who never got caught'. Granting Sarao bail yesterday, even District Judge Quentin Purdy appeared a little sympathetic, telling him: 'I suspect the last 24 hours have been somewhat traumatic for you.' Sarao was granted bail until May 26 in return for a £5 million security. Just how a man who still lives with his parents in a London suburb can raise£5 million will be of interest to the authorities – and to neighbours who say there was no hint of his vast wealth. Born in Hounslow, Sarao excelled at Heston Community College. Studying maths and science at A-Level and graduating from Brunel University in west London, he apparently spent his holidays playing football and badminton. Neighbour Anil Puri said Sarao's mother Darshaw Kaur Sarao used to work two jobs because his father Nachhattar Singh Sarao was diabetic and could not work. Sarao's brother Jasvinder is an optometrist and director of Specsavers, while his other brother Rajvinder lives with his wife and two children opposite his parents and works in IT. School friends described Sarao as 'a bit of a cheeky chappy but popular', adding: 'He was a bit


of a geek but was funny also. He was a bit of a prankster but never got caught.' In a yearbook, Sarao's form teacher wrote: 'Much stays the same – Navinder is still late most mornings…' Advertisement

Mr Watkins said he faced 22 charges in the US, with possible prison sentences ranging from five to 25 years on each count, which could total 380 years. Sarao bit his lip nervously during the proceedings and tugged on his sweatshirt as the charges were read out. Asked if he consented to being extradited to the US, he replied: 'No.' An extradition hearing is expected to take place later this year.

JoelSmith, defending, said: 'This matter has come as something of a bolt from the blue for Mr Sarao.'

The US government opposed Sarao's release on bail in case he fled, but Mr Smith described him as a man of 'impeccable' character with no previous convictions who lived with his parents.

The judge granted him conditional bail on a £5,050,000 surety, which included £30,000 offered by Sarao's retired father and £10,000 each from his two brothers. The £5million remainder came from one of Sarao's trading accounts – although the court heard £4.7million of this was a loan.

Addressing bail conditions, the judge said Sarao's computer use had 'clearly upset the Americans, to put it mildly', and ordered him not to use the internet. Sarao must live at his home address with his


in under one second.

Representing the Judicial Authority of the United States of America, Mr Watkins said: 'It is said he was asked to desist his conduct by the US authorities but continued to do so knowing it was wrong.

'With that outlook, the sentence is likely to be high.'

Nick Leeson, the rogue trader who brought down Barings Bank in the 1990s, said yesterday Sarao might be being used as a scapegoat by the US authorities. He told LBC Radio: 'The story doesn't entirely ring true for me. I hate to jump to conclusions, but is he a scapegoat? It's just very difficult to see how somebody so small has done something so big.'

Friends of the 'Hound of Hounslow' today described a frugal maths whizzkid who always wore a tracksuit to work even after making his first million pounds.

Sarao is said to have 'loved making money, not spending it', would travel to work late so he could go off-peak and would only buy lunch if he could find cut price supermarket sandwiches.

Yet the US authorities claim Navinder Singh Sarao, 36, is one of the world's most wanted rogue traders and may have squirrelled away up to £27million in the Caribbean.

FBI


investigators say he caused the £570billion ($850million) 2010 Wall Street 'Flash Crash' by conning the markets with fake trades and suggest he is a brash British financier who once told officials to 'kiss my a***'.

The hi-tech sharks who cost us all so dearly

Commentary by Alex Brummer

Nothing might seem more improbable than the idea of a single rogue trader, sitting in front of a bank of computer screens in the


unfashionable London borough of Hounslow, causing shares on the world's biggest stock market in New York to plummet a record 1,000 points in a few hectic minutes.

But that is precisely what the all-powerful American Department of Justice accuses 36-year-old Navinder Singh Sarao of doing in May 2010, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged in what has become known as the Flash Crash because it took just about everyone by surprise.

US prosecutors believe Mr Sarao used special computer software to manipulate the market on Wall Street

Sarao's alleged actions not only sowed confusion across the global share markets – which take their lead from New York – but most worryingly threatened the savings of ordinary people with investments held in pension funds, insurance policies and ISA-like products, all ofwhich came under threat of being dragged down too, and thus losing millions in value.

Sarao is one of a new breed of stock market traders, operating far from the heavily policed glass and steel towers of Wall Street and Canary Wharf in London, who have shown themselves capable of using ever-faster technologies to outwit the standard computers that drive international trading in shares, government bonds, commodities and foreign currencies.

Most of us have fixed in our mind the television pictures of the New York Stock Exchange as a bear pit populated by sharp-suited men and women, scurrying between stands on the floor of the market executing orders for clients.

But this last vestige of traditional trading – which was abandoned in the City of London in the late 1980s –


is nowadays little more than a quaint tourist attraction. It is reminiscent of the old bookmaking trade on Britain's racecourses in an age when almost all the betting is now done online.

The world's financial markets are dominated by computer trading. The dealing rooms, once populated by shrewd operators from the East End of London, are now inhabited by some of the nation's most brilliant minds – the mathematicians and PhD economists with the best knowledge of computer modelling and software writing.

The big City and Wall Street firms which employ this new breed of financial eggheads know that the better the software they have, the smarter the dealer and the faster the computers they control, the greater chance there is of outwitting their competitors and running up the biggestprofits.

And while the biggest global trading firms such as Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and Barclays employ the best and the brightest of this brigade, there are virtually no bars to maverick individual traders setting up shop in their back rooms or on industrial estates, and trying to manipulate the markets to their own advantage.

Panic: Traders at the New York Stock Exchange watch in disbelief as the markets tumbled during the 'Flash Crash' five years ago

Remarkably, Britain's previously anonymous lone trader from Hounslow is said to have taken on the wealthiest, most skilled traders and the most intrusive regulators in the world – and looked to be winning until the police, acting on behalf of the US federal authorities, caught up with him on Tuesday of this


week.

Sarao allegedly used an automated computer program to trick the markets into generating orders to sell large numbers of shares – it is claimed more than £100 million worth. (Though it's unlikely he actually owned those shares, it's possible for traders to 'borrow' shares and bet that the market will fall in the hope of cashing them in at a lower price.)

His large orders to sell pushed prices sharply downwards. But he cancelled those trades milliseconds before they could be executed, and then, when the market had fallen, bought into it at a lower price. Because that market rose again sharply once the initial trades were cancelled, the genuine positions he bought when it was depressed then made him handsome profits – an alleged £26 million.

According to Americanprosecutors, he played a large part in the so-called Flash Crash because his computer trades set off a chain reaction of similar computer-driven trades which drove down US share prices in an uncontrolled fashion. It was as if Sarao had, through his market-rigging trades, triggered a virus on such a scale that it became impossible to manage.

The black arts of computer-driven trading, where a small time advantage can deliver billions of pounds of income, were exposed last year by the former Wall Street trader and now celebrated author Michael Lewis in his ground-breaking and incendiary book Flash Boys: Breaking the Money Code.

Sarao is one of a new breed of stock market traders, operating far from the heavily policed glass and steel towers of Canary Wharf (pictured) in London

In


the book, Lewis recounted how a small army of construction engineers, financed by Wall Street traders, built a super-fast cable network between Chicago and New York with the aim of sending digitalised trading messages faster than other connections.

By speeding up the connection by fractions of a second, the 'flash traders' were able to beat their rivals to the punch when it came to trading shares, generating profits for the owners of the speedy systems.

Some experts have estimated that as much as $20 billion in extra income could be earned simply by controlling the fastest information channels.

The bitter truth of the matter is that income earned in this way comes at the expense of pension funds, insurers and private traders who have no access to such communications, and somaximum pressure at the hypopharynx and UES while swallowing a jelly were 802.5 and 303 mm Hg, respectively. Both the duration of pharyngeal contractions and the intervals from the beginning of the pharyngeal contraction to the end of UES relaxation were approximately 0.5 s and not prolonged.

Since early 2017, there have been reports of gay concentration camps in Ramzan Kadyrov's Chechnya, which are allegedly being used for the extrajudicial detention and torture of men who are suspected of being gay or bisexual. Around 100 men have been imprisoned and at least three people have already died. Chechnya is a predominantly Muslim, ultra-conservative society in which homophobia is widespread and homosexuality is taboo, and where having a gay relative is seen as a "stain on the entire extended family".

An extensive list of Gulag camps is being compiled based on official sources.
