Here in New York there are two dis

women whodo and the women who
dare. The first chop dressmakers do
up the majority of our fashion-loving
ladies, but there are others who get
themselves up after outre fashion-plates,
and tremendous is the t ffdct. The staw
and felt hats are rather old-stylish in
shape, but when a woman faces the
turned-up front with pale bine, puts a
cluster of tea roses smsck in front, a
red breasted bird above that, and a
long-tailed plume beyond that, then
lashes this creation on the back of her
head, cocked at an angle of forty-five
degrees, then the deed is done.
Then th modistes put nice little
standing collars on dresses and slash
them open at the breast to show deli
cate laces and things. This fourth-
proof fashionable builds a silk fence
about her neck that towers heavenward,
lashes her beaded belt till her breakfast,
and any other affair she may


chance to
contain, are collapsed like defective
flues. Then she hursts forth in revers
and plaitings and lace ruffles across the
breast till she's disproportioned as a rnf-

Anatomy of the Porpoise. .
Mr. Frank Buckland. having dissected
a porpoise, gives some interesting infor
mation on the structure of that animal.
In the matter of bowels it is well pro
vided for, the specimen examined hav
ing 62 feet 2 inches of intestine. The
stomach was so complicated tbat it
could not be made out by ordinary dis
section. To get round the difficulty,
Mr. Buckland hung it up by the oeso
phagus, and filled it with plaster of par
is, of which nearly a pailfn! .waa re
quired before the organ was fully dis
tended.It was then found that tho por
poise has two stomachs one in which
the prey is kept, and the other in which
it is digested. A careful section of the
head showed the blow-hole to be a most
complicated mechanism. The porpoise,
being a pure mammal, has a four cavi
tied heart, and a pair of lungs. Now,
nature has ordained that he shall live in
the sea ; the problem is, how to
keep water out of the lnngs. In the
first place, his nose is guarded by a
valve placed on the top of his head, and
when the porpoise breathes he comes to
the surface, and takes a deep inspira
tion. Not a drop of water ever gets in.
Bat how does he work his valve, and
keep the water oat of his lungs, when
he is asleep? The answer to this

The Coolest Robbery on Record.
The New Haven Register records the
following : Policeman Badger, of the
tenth station, had a bit of experience
the other night which he is not fond of
talking about. It was past midnight,
as he was leisurely paching his beat
throagh Jessop street, and as he came
opposite to Drafton Fogg's jewelry
store he observed gleams of light
throagh the chinks of the shutters, and
he rapped at the door.
"Is that you, policeman?" asked a
voice within.
" Yes," answered Badger.
" Well, it's only me ; it's all right ;
kind o chilly out, isn't it?"
" Yes."
"Thought so. I was just fixing the
fire goodnight."
Badger taid " Good night," and par-
sued his way.
An hour afterward Badger passed
through Jessop street again, and again
he saw the light in the jewelry store.
It didn't look right, and he banged at
the dot r loudly.
" Hello 1" cried the voice within. " Is
it yon, policeman ?"
" Yes."
"All right. Won't you oome in and
warm you ? It won't hurt anything for
you to slip from your beat a few min
utes." The door opened, and policeman Bad
ger entered, and he found the inmate
to be a very gentlemanly-looking man,
in a linen duster.
" Corao right up to the stove, police

The man took the ash-pan from the
bottom of the stove and carried it down

hands he said with

Origin of Italian Opera.
About the year 1494 three young men,
natives of Florence, who were exceed
ingly intimate and who possessed many
artistic tastes in common, conceived the
idea of restoring the ancient Grecian
lyric style of declamation. They per
suaded the celebrated poet Rinucci to
compose the words of a drama the sub
ject of which was the story of Daphne,
and this was set to musio by Pesl, the
most celebrated composer of the fif
teenth oentnry. Count Corsi. an ad
mirable musiciao, aided him in the un
dertaking, and th first performance of
the first onera waa rtlaved in thenalaoe
of this gentleman. The actors ana sing
ers were friends of the author, and he
himself took one of the parts. The or
chestra of this first opera was composed
of four violins, a cythra, a harp, and a
violincello. There were no airs in this
composition, and it consisted entirely
of recitatives accompanied by fine har
monies, which were, however, judged
by the great critic Ruooellai to be very
monotonous and tedious.

Relationship of land use and elevated ionic strength in Appalachian watersheds.
Coal mining activities have been implicated as sources that increase stream specific conductance in Central Appalachia. The present study characterized potential sources of elevated ionic strength for small subwatersheds within the Coal, Upper Kanawha, Gauley, and New Rivers in West Virginia. From a large monitoring data set developed by the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection, 162 < 20-km(2)-watersheds were identified that had detailed land cover information in southwestern West Virginia with at least one water chemistry sample. Scatter plots of specific conductance were generated for nine land cover classifications: open water, agriculture, forest, residential, barren, total mining, valley fill, abandoned mine lands, and mining excluding valley fill and abandoned mine lands. Conductivity was negatively correlated with thePrivacy Concerns when Providing Elder Care for a Loved One in Perinton, NY

Andrea knew that her father was going to need a lot of care when he came home from the hospital. His stroke left him without the use of the right side of his body and that was going to be challenging enough. He was 81 and that already meant that he was going to require some form of elder care before long, because he was having trouble getting in and out of the shower and other basic care issues.

Andrea was having trouble, though, with the prospect of privacy concerns. She wasn’t comfortable with the idea of having to help her father get in and out of the shower. She didn’t like the idea of having him


That was a free endorsement, back when there was such a thing. Hollywood and the fragrance industry have been intertwined ever since, with celebrities competing for high-profile endorsement deals, or creating and marketing their own scents, and luxury brands hiring big-name directors and ratcheting up the production values of their advertising campaigns to rival big box office releases.

Crime incidents in Seattle saw an overall increase last month, for the second month in a row, according to data from SpotCrime, which collects data from police agencies and validated sources.

Incidents rose by about 8 percent, from 10,464 in December to 11,298 in January.

Burglary and robbery incidents increased the most from the previous month. Burglary rose from 632 reported incidents in December to 792 in January. Robbery incidents went from 104 to 135 for the month, or about a 29 percent increase.

While a somewhat smaller category, there was also a sizable percentage increase last month in vandalism, from 283 incidents per month to 312. Vandalism reports have decreased since the same month last year.

Among the few types of offenses that saw a downturn last month, theft reports wentfrom 1,801 to 1,730. Assault incidents fell from 646 to 625, and shooting incidents went down from five to two.

Considering the concentration of crime across the city, the largest increase last month occurred in the University District, First Hill and Northgate. Ravenna, Lower Queen Anne and North Queen Anne also saw considerable percentage increases in crime offenses for the month, although they continue to have lower overall crime levels.

of a mother is interspersed with Chekhov's life and death in this debut collection.

Both Chekhov and Paddon's mother suffer from pulmonary illnesses. When she returns home to help care for her mother, she is also reading Chekhov and this series of poems flickers between the two.There are poems as letters between Chekhov and his mostly absent wife Olga, and between Chekhov and his sister Masha. The relationships between them turn on both his brilliance and his constant illness, and Paddon is able to capture a Chekhovian flavour very effectively in her poems. Meanwhile, she reflects on her mother, their past and the unthinkable future without her. Tiny domestic details stand in for much larger meaning, as with Chekhov's storyline. The collection is divided up into monthly sections -with the distillery's existing waste management and control systems.

The new effluent treatment system at Glenallachie has a small footprint, minimal sludge yield and a low environmental impact.

The main process plant is installed inside an existing building with two modular bioreactors located outside. All wastewater on the distillery site is treated by Wehrle's two-stage cascading MBR system, having first been collected in three separate holding tanks.

Foul condensate is diluted with washing water from around the site, spent lees from the second distillation stage is then mixed with this, and the combined wastewater is pH-corrected before being treated by the MBR system.

By carefully designing a two-stage cascading aerobic system, an approach proven by Wehrle on several challenging applications around the world, the process can tolerate the potential toxicity of the

president said Saturday in his weekly radio address.

But there are few signs to suggest the public is listening. A poll out late last week found that barely one in four Americans said they'd heard much about the automatic spending cuts - known unhelpfully for public-comprehension purposes as "sequestration" - and four in 10 said they were comfortable with the cuts going into effect.

"Here's yet another deadline, and everyone's telling us everything will be destroyed if we go past it," said Michael Dimock, director of the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press, which conducted the poll. "It's very hard to get the same sense of urgency for a third time in a row, just two months after the last one."

Call it cliff fatigue. After a seriesof dramatic confrontations with congressional Republicans, an American electorate that has little trust in Washington - and that's seeing a soaring stock market, plus a recovering housing market - looks to be tuning out the latest round of fiscal fighting, at least for now.

That's troublesome news for Obama, and not just for the recurring fights over spending and deficits. As his second-term agenda gets cranking with Congress' return this week, the president needs to convince the public not just on the merits of his priorities but also on the urgency.

This may be the only time in his presidency where heavy legislative lifts are realistic. That period is starting with a rough stretch: The spending cuts Obama once guaranteed would never take place now almost definitely will.

The fight is


ARLINGTON, TX - APRIL 26: Saquon Barkley of Penn State poses with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell after being picked #2 overall by the New York Giants during the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft at AT&T Stadium on April 26, 2018 in Arlington, Texas. (Photo by Tim Warner/Getty Images)

The New York Giants are finding out that one of the best parts of rebuilding your football team is that the league rewards you with additional draft picks for allowing your overpaid free agents to walk.

According to the website OverTheCap.com, the New York Giants are currently in line to receive two compensatory selections in next year’s NFL Draft.

“Each year, the NFL awards 32 additional draft picks, mostly to teams that lost more free agents than they signed from theprevious offseason. How these picks are awarded is based upon a formula kept secret by the league, but many details surrounding it have been better focused over time due to past history.” – OverTheCap.com

The first pick is predicted to be a third-rounder, which is a result of letting three-time Pro Bowl safety Landon Collins enter free agency. He signed a six-year, $84 million deal with the Washington Redskins in March after the Giants did not apply the franchise tag on him in February, allowing him to sign with any club when free agency began in mid-March.

In retrospect, even if the Giants wanted Collins back, there’s no way they would’ve matched the Redskins’ offer. The reasons behind the move (or non-move) was three-fold. Collins is a box safety and


the Giants want more versatile players in their back seven. They signed veteran Antoine Bethea and got Jabril Peppers in the blockbuster trade with the Cleveland Browns. Both players can play the strong and free safety positions.

Another reason was that Collins was still rehabbing from surgery on his shoulder. He suffered a torn labrum late in the season. His recovery/rehab timetable was set at six months, meaning he would not be ready to pass a physical until June. The Giants would have had to make an uniformed medical decision had they wanted to sign him in March.

Thirdly, they just didn’t have the cap room to keep Collins. His franchise tag price was in the excess of $11 million and the Giants’ cap space at the time was aboutA Republican-led House committee in Florida this week approved a measure that could allow students to carry guns and concealed weapons on college campuses — just two months after a shooter injured three people at a Florida State University library.

Republican State Rep. Greg Steube, who filed the bill, said the measure would make campuses safer by allowing gun owners to intervene in shooting situations. The lawmaker said he doesn’t think that law-abiding citizens who successfully obtain their firearms licenses should be stripped of their constitutional rights simply because they walked from a shopping plaza across the street to a college campus.

Gun-free zones, he said, don’t prevent shootings from happening, citing the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre that killed 32 people and wounded 17 more.

Florida law currently prevents adults with


still would exclude younger college students and comprise less than 1% of the state’s permit holders.

In November, a former student of Florida State opened fire inside the library and injured two students and a school employee. The police fatally shot him after he fired a round at officers. Steube told his colleagues at the hearing that he began drafting the bill before the Florida State shooting.

The measure was split along party lines, with eight Republicans supporting the measure and four Democrats opposing it.

Two other House committees must approve the measure before it moves forward. If passed, it will take effect on July 1 and make Florida the eighth state to allow guns on campuses, joining Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi, Oregon, Utah, and Wisconsin.

Steube has reintroduced a similar billin the past three years that would allow guns in elementary, middle, and high schools. It has yet to pass the state Senate.

Last April, Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal signed a sweeping gun bill into law that allows firearms in several different kinds of buildings and areas, including in school classrooms. The legislation was deemed the “guns everywhere bill.”

Since the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, on Dec. 12, 2014, nearly 100 school shootings have occurred on American soil, the FBI says mass shootings are on the rise, and active-shooter and lockdown drills have become part of students’ routines.

Crime Scene Investigation, which drew 15.064 million household viewers, and ABC's Grey's Anatomy, which drew 14.300 million households.

Television columnist Alan Sepinwall for The Star-Ledger was positive about the episode, writing "This was the strongest overall Thursday this season for NBC's comedies, and 'Sun Tea' brought the evening to a fine close. Not all of it worked, but enough of it did ... that I was left happy." He opined that if the episode gave more time to Kathy being represented by Teddy Ruxpin "I would have given 'Sun Tea' my stamp of approval". In regards to the environment story, Sepinwall said it "tied in nicely with both Frank's disgusting jars and the apartment plot". Nick Catucci  of New York magazine said that the episode was "chockablock with great mini-sketches, gags,over water policy and immigration, but this year it's another issue that convinced Waller to support the incumbent.

"It all stems from the Kavanaugh hearing," Waller said outside a grocery. He's punishing Democrats with his vote, outraged over what he saw as unfair treatment of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh by Senate Democrats during confirmation hearings.

"I've got a bitter taste in my mouth about the whole situation," Waller said.

Fallout from the Kavanaugh hearings is mixing with divisions over health care, President Donald Trump and immigration reform to create a neck-and-neck race in the district 80 miles (129 kilometers) east of San Francisco where Democrats count a slender registration edge and whites and Hispanics make up nearly equal parts of the population.

It's one of a string of Republican-held districts in


moderate Democrat pointed to Denham's voting record on health care as a main reason she supports Harder. She worries Republicans will try to privatize Medicare and she'll see her costs rise.

"I'm interested in senior issues because I'm becoming a senior," she said. "My private health care costs have skyrocketed."

The two candidates strike a contrast in backgrounds and style.

The 51-year-old congressman leases land to a nut orchard; Harder is a 32-year-old venture capitalist. Denham voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act, while Harder supports it. Denham, an Air Force veteran, backs the president while Harder says Republicans in Washington are not doing enough to help an area with high poverty.

Denham, a former legislator first elected to the House in 2010, has been a perennial target for Democrats. But thewho came to the U.S. as children and stayed here illegally.

The high stakes were underscored last week when Denham supporters circulated voting records that appeared to show Harder illegally voted in two locations in the 2016 election. The records were legitimate but there was a misinterpretation that the document from Stanislaus County showed Harder voted there when he actually only voted in San Francisco.

Harder said the incident shows the Denham campaign is "desperate to talk about anything other than Denham's votes in Congress over the last two years."

Denham attributed the close race to money pouring in from outside the district to support Harder — he calls his rival a San Francisco Bay Area outsider.

"When this kind of money comes in from the Bay Area and the amount of


money that's on TV, there's certainly a lot of distractions for people," he said.

Denham pointed to his support from organizations that represent farms in the district and highlighted his work with local veteran groups.

"This is a local campaign," he said. "This is the fifth time they've moved somebody into this district to run against me."

Harder's campaign argues that he's every bit the local product as Denham. He grew up in Turlock, which is in the district, moved away for college and graduate school, lived in San Francisco for seven months in 2016, then came back.

In the final days before the election, Harder says his campaign is focused on talking to voters about the Republican-backed health care and immigration policies thst Denham has supported in Congress, including his votesgroups with university students to obtain input on potential functions and features of a university virtual clinic.

Methods
=======

The Focus Groups
----------------

There were four focus groups that were conducted with students from the Australian National University (ANU) in November and December 2012. Each focus group consisted of four or five participants (n=5, 5, 4, 5) with a total of 19 participants. There were three groups that were conducted on the ANU campus, and one group was conducted at an off-campus university residential hall. Ethics approval was granted by the Australian National University Human Research Ethics Committee (2012/520). Cinema vouchers were offered to participants in recognition of their time and involvement in the focus groups.

Participant Recruitment
-----------------------

Several methods were used to recruit participants. First, email invitations for a focus group on "student mental


health and online programs" were sent to a list of students who had previously expressed interest in participating in a mental health research initiative and provided their contact details to the researchers at a mental health awareness event. Participants were also encouraged to invite other students to participate. Second, the researchers contacted the senior resident of a university residential hall for assistance in advertising the focus group to their students. The method of recruiting through the residential hall was most effective because the focus groups were directly and actively targeted to a captive group of students by someone who had a preexisting relationship with them. Recruitment of new participants was discontinued when consistencies emerged in the data. Following the fourth focus group, the facilitators met to review thedeveloping the focus group questions, and John Gosling for his assistance preparing the manuscript for publication. This project was resourced by the Young and Well CRC (youngandwellcrc.org.au). The Young and Well CRC is established under the Australian Government's Cooperative Research Centres Program. The Young and Well Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) resourced this project. A National Health and Medical Research Council Fellowship (No.1059620) is supporting KMG.

At five o’clock in the afternoon, the lights are still on at an elementary school in Montreal. The school looks like any other school. It is a four-story red-brick building with a playground in the front and a parking lot in the back. A curtain in a third-floor window moves aside, and a little boy with sidelocks gazes out at this journalist pacing on the sidewalk and freezing in the February wind (school officials have turned down her request to come inside). Soon two boys appear at the window, then five, then 10. They wave and tap on the glass. When the journalist tries to snap a photo, they hide behind the curtain. As soon as she puts her camera in her purse, they tap on the glassthe English Montreal school board that oversees the homeschooled boys from Yeshiva Toras Moshe, since the parents are English-speakers.

The children from the yeshiva are now technically studying at home the same subjects as are required in all schools in the province, including subjects such as geography, science, history and French, Mancini said. Their education is based on an individualized plan designed by their parents and approved by the school board, and their progress is evaluated using a portfolio of work.

“Some students are doing very well, but they need to catch up,” Mancini said.

Yeshiva Toras Moshe refused to provide any information to the Forward, but former teacher Yohanan Lowen (who has since left the Hasidic community), said that until now the children there received only the total of an

Murray broke Federer twice in the first set, which was littered by 14 unforced errors by Federer. The Swiss rallied in the second set, dominating events with shot-making reminiscent of his long run at the top.

The turning point came in the fourth game of the final set on Federer’s serve. He appeared to have won the first point with an overhead smash at Murray’s feet, but the surprisingly lithe Murray got a racket on the ball, near his ankles, and popped up a lob that landed 30cm inside the back line.

On the next point, Murray skidded while in futile chase of a shot and shouted “Ow!” as he fell to the hardcourt surface, fearing a recurrence of an old injuryto his groin. But he bounced up and benefited from three consecutive errors by Federer for a key break. Federer seemed to sense doom in an almost half-hearted fifth game, his shoulders drooping as a game-ending backhand sailed long. On the fourth match point in the seventh, Federer was unable to return Murray’s serve, and Murray landed in the final here in the Southern California desert.


of Vietnam and Watergate and the ugly last stand of segregationists, America was often hated. But nations that relied on the United States for security from threatening neighbors tended to overlook the country’s flaws. In the 1960s, millions of young Europeans took to the streets to protest American “imperialism,” while their governments worked to ensure that the alliance with the United States held firm.

Soft power, meanwhile, has its limits. No U.S. president has enjoyed more international popularity than Woodrow Wilson did when he traveled to Paris to negotiate the treaty ending World War I. He was a hero to the world, but he found his ability to shape the peace, and to establish the new League of Nations, severely limited, in no small part by his countrymen’s refusalto commit U.S. military power to the defense of the peace. John F. Kennedy, another globally admired president, found his popularity of no use in his confrontations with Nikita Khrushchev, who, by Kennedy’s own admission, “beat the hell out of me” and who may have been convinced by his perception of Kennedy’s weakness that the United States would tolerate his placing Soviet missiles in Cuba.

The international system is not static. It responds quickly to fluctuations in power. If the United States were to cut too deeply into its ability to project military power, other nations could be counted on to respond accordingly. Those nations whose power rises in relative terms would display expanding ambitions commensurate with their new clout in the international system. They would, as in the

A number of interventions have emerged in the last decade in response to this epidemic, including prescription drug monitoring programs; improving linkages to drug treatment; training drug users and those around them to recognize and respond appropriately to overdose; and, most recently, training and equipping law enforcement officers to use naloxone (an opioid antagonist) at the scene of an overdose. Equipping law enforcement officers with naloxone is intended to capitalize on the fact that officers often arrive at an overdose scene before other emergency services, particularly in rural areas, and until now have not been well equipped to deal with overdose events. In the last 5


years, with the active encouragement of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy and the Department of Justice, law enforcement agencies in at least 28 states are planning to or have begun carrying naloxone to use when they attend overdoses. Despite the proliferation of such programs, this intervention is completely unstudied. In 2014 the San Diego Sheriff's Department began training patrol officers to use naloxone to respond to overdose prior to arrival of other emergency services, and to actively refer overdose victims to a collaborating drug treatment agency after revival. Uptake of drug treatment has been higher than expected (3 of 9 revivals in the 6 month pilot phase of the project entered treatment).

President Trump rebelled on Monday against his own advisers who “watered down” his original executive order barring visitors from select Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States and who insisted on calling it something other than a travel ban.

Returning to one of the issues that animated the early days of his presidency and generated a court battle that has now gone to the Supreme Court, Mr. Trump argued that it was a mistake to revise the first order he signed and suggested that

This chapter discusses the three lines of research used in assessing basic models of fluctuations in competitive markets, namely research with the use of Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium models, a typical Sunspot model, and a combination of Keynesian theory, the Samuelson destabilizing accelerator, and the Philips curve. It explains that the Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium models provide simpler solutions, as they answer simple first-order conditions of asset pricing, and address labor fluctuations. This chapter also includes sample problems regarding alternative shocks in the government and households, incomplete capital depreciation, a Real Business Cycle model with generations, and with autocorrelatedCentral Bank) has performed in recent years with the aim of understanding the similarities and differences. It is observed that the paths of both interest rates and real output in the two economies have been different over the years. These differences reflect differences in policy, differences in structure (e.g., flexible versus rigid labor markets, bank versus open market finance, etc.), or differences in the nature of the shocks. The chapter estimates a small-scale monetary dynamic monetary stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model for each country that is flexible enough to allow for differences in policy, structure, and shocks. The principal finding is that the sluggish behavior of the euro area economy relative to the United States primarily reflects differences in shocks.Less

Monetary Policy in Europe versus the United States :


charismatic opposition leader shouting, with his fist pumped into the air, dot wealthy Caracas neighborhoods. The same image can be found stenciled on the walls in the pro-government slums, but below the word "Murderer."

President Nicolas Maduro raises the specter of his foe nearly every night, using his televised addresses to denounce the 43-year-old Harvard graduate who, despite having been jailed since February, has become Venezuela's most popular politician as well as a human-rights icon drawing international pressure on the government.

Accused of inciting violent protests in early 2014, and the threat of a 13-year prison term hanging over him, Lopez is again exhibiting the defiance he used to call opponents of the South American country's socialist government into the streets, but now in a windowless courtroom secured behind fourhired assassin. He waved copies of the constitution drafted by the late President Hugo Chavez, and held up a book of the writings of Venezuela's beloved revolutionary leader Simon Bolivar, a distant great uncle of Lopez.

His blue blood political heritage and old-money roots make him a natural champion of the Venezuelan elite. Ivy League-educated and accompanied by his equally photogenic wife, a former TV hostess and champion kite-surfer, Lopez comes off as a Venezuelan version of a Kennedy — albeit a stridently conservative one.

Of the two factions opposing Venezuela's unsteady administration, Lopez represents the more radical extreme. While others such as opposition heavyweight Henrique Capriles were advocating gradual electoral change, Lopez called hundreds of thousands of supporters into the streets to demand that Maduro resign only months into


his six-year term.

Violence stemming from the protests left more than 40 people dead, including both Maduro supporters and opponents. The government's view is that Lopez pretended to rally ordinary people fed up with crime, inflation and widespread shortages but was actually conniving with students and the United States to overthrow the government.

The unrest fizzled after Lopez was jailed, and chronic infighting between his faction and more moderate leaders has prevented the opposition from taking advantage of growing discontent with the administration over Venezuela's economic free fall.

With ample time for reflection, Lopez doesn't appear to have become any more eager for compromise. Unity isn't a goal in and of itself, he told AP in an interview outside the courtroom doors. And his political martyrdom has had an upside. Lopez'spersonal brand is booming. For years, the former mayor of Chacao, a wealthy Caracas suburb, was seen as arrogant and overly-ambitious, if effective. He now consistently polls among the most popular politicians in the country, with his favorability approaching 50 percent, while Maduro's has slid below 30 percent, according to surveys released in recent months by a leading national pollster, Datanalisis.

Previously unknown beyond Venezuela, human rights groups now consider Lopez Latin America's most prominent political prisoner. U.S. President Barack Obama and the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights have called for his release. Foreign Policy magazine named him one of the 100 most important global thinkers this year, and the Harvard Kennedy School awarded him its alumni achievement award in absentia.

When Lopez will leave his cell remains a


as night falls. Before each hearing, soldiers with riot shields and submachine guns close the streets around the courthouse. Only family members and, sometimes, international observers and others on their guest lists are allowed through. AP is the first international news outlet to have made it into the courtroom.

As the restrictions tighten around Lopez, he is rattling his cage more fervently. He's begun staging a daily protest, banging on his prison bars at dusk. Lopez has refused to end the defiance, even though it's meant his visitors are restricted to only his two young children and the noise is heard only within the prison walls.

His wife, Lilian Tintori, said that when he surrendered to authorities in February, the family thought his detention would be brief. She told their5-year-old daughter that Lopez was just on a business trip. Asked why they didn't flee when the charges were levied against her husband, Tintori pointed to one word tattooed on her wrist: Venezuela.

Her husband has a matching one on his ankle, she said. "Someone has to stay and fight." On a recent visit to the prison, Tintori caught sight of her husband from a distance, making out his long figure waving from his prison bars. He was keeping his balance by clinging to the window bars, giving him the appearance of a man just hanging on. "Hello, beautiful!" he called out.

A piercing police siren made any additional words impossible. Lopez gave a final fist pump through his bars before vanishing from view.

TOKYO (AP) — Japanese carmaker Honda plans to close its car factory in western England in 2021, a fresh blow to the British economy as it struggles with the uncertainty associated with leaving the European Union next month.

The company announced the decision, which will imperil 3,500 jobs and possibly many more, at a news conference in Tokyo.

Honda’s president and CEO, Takahiro Hachigo, said the decision was not related to Brexit, but was based on what made most sense for

Rose Bowl: Oklahoma (BCS #7morning of March 1, 2002, Missouri resident James Lee returned to his home to find a white Chevrolet pickup truck2 backed up to his front door. Lee quickly realized that his home was being burglarized. Lee used his van to block the truck's escape path. When the men burglarizing the house saw Lee, one ran back into the house and the other ran to the truck and prepared to drive away. Lee saw his rifle sticking up in the floor board next to the driver of the truck. Fearing that the driver would hit his van, Lee pulled his vehicle back and allowed the truck to leave. The man in the truck drove around to the back of the house, and Lee observed him leave with another man


in the truck. Lee immediately reported the burglary and identified the suspects as African-American males.

3
Deputy Jim Bank of the Clinton County, Missouri, Sheriff's Department immediately responded to the scene. Deputy Bank dispatched a description of the truck and the direction it was traveling. Sergeant Keith Trader of the Clay County, Missouri, Sheriff's Department and a Kearney Police Department unit encountered and began to pursue a truck matching that description as it sped past their position. The pursuit continued for some time with speeds in excess of ninety miles per hour. The pursuit ended when the truck left the highway, crossed two residential yards, and crashed into a fence.

4
Sergeant Trader saw the two suspects exit the truck, jump the fence, and run into a field. Sergeant Trader followed themen and immediately apprehended one suspect-identified as Fabian-who was hiding in a ditch near the crash site. The officers then began a search for the other occupant of the truck. They crossed a field and found the second suspect, Michael, lying in some woods across a road bordering the field. The officers also took Michael into custody. The police found a rifle and other personal property in the bed of the truck. Later, after observing Michael in a holding cell, Sergeant Trader identified Michael as the driver of the stolen truck based upon his earlier observation.

5
Fabian and Michael were each charged with one count for unlawful possession of a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). Because Michael had nine prior burglary convictions and Fabian had three


burglary convictions and one assault conviction, the indictment also charged that the penalty-enhancement provisions of 18 U.S.C. § 924(e) applied to each defendant.

6
Michael moved to suppress the indictment, alleging that the police arrested him illegally because of his race and because Sergeant Trader's identification of him at the jail was impermissibly tainted. Following an evidentiary hearing on Michael's motion, the magistrate judge recommended its denial. The magistrate judge found that the police had probable cause to arrest Michael, who matched the description of the suspect involved in a high-speed chase and who was found hiding in a field a short distance from the crash site of the stolen white pickup truck. In addition, the magistrate judge found that Sergeant Trader's identification of Michael at the jail was nottainted by inordinate suggestibility because 1) the defense produced no evidence that Michael was the only African American in the holding cell, and 2) Sergeant Trader had a sufficient opportunity to observe Michael during the chase and identified him within half an hour. The district court adopted the magistrate's report and recommendation.

7
The Jacksons were tried on August 26, 2002, and convicted the next day. Lee testified and identified Michael as the driver of the truck that he saw in his driveway. Lee also identified the rifle found in the pickup as his stolen weapon and identified other items recovered from the pickup as possessions stolen from his residence. The district court entered judgment on March 6, 2003. Both timely appealed.

II. Analysis

8
Michael raises two issues and Fabian raises one


Sergeant Trader was nearly hit head-on by Michael and Fabian, that he correctly described what both men were wearing before they were apprehended, and that he was present when Fabian and Michael were apprehended, we find that his identification of Michael approximately one-half hour later at the jail was reliable. Therefore, we affirm the district court's denial of Michael's motion to suppress.

C. Sufficiency of the Evidence

17
In his one point on appeal, Fabian argues that the evidence is insufficient to support his conviction for unlawfully possessing a firearm. He asserts that the evidence did not show that he actually or constructively possessed the gun. We disagree.

18
We review the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain a conviction de novo. United States v. Fitz, 317 F.3d 878, 881 (8th Cir.2003). "Inthe truck to store and transport the stolen items as well as to attempt to escape the police. In addition, the evidence shows that the homeowner, James Lee, saw his gun standing up in the cab of the truck when Michael drove from the front to the back of the house to pick up Fabian. Fabian asserts that the evidence does not establish that he knew Michael had the gun in the truck cab and that Michael could have placed the gun in the truck bed before Fabian entered the truck to escape. However, the police found the stolen items in the bed of the truck, thus indicating that both Michael and Fabian knew of the contents not only in the cab of the truck in which they

In addition, Lee testified that the trigger lock had been removed from his gun after it was stolen. Because Michael was driving, the jury could have reasonably concluded that Fabian removed the trigger lock after Michael picked him up at the back of the house. We find that the jury could have reasonably inferred through this circumstantial evidence that Fabian knew that the gun was in the truck-whether in the passenger compartment or in the bed-when the brothers left the house.

Other concerns include gumi Inc's apparent failure to invest tax credits it received from the CNC into marketing for the game as intended, and the fact that some upper-level management personnel at the Paris office had relocated on the promise of long-term career plans.

"For all these reasons, gumi EU's employees feel cheated and not respected, considering their investment on the 3 years production of the game," the statement concludes.

"The employees at gumi Europe are asking for the reconsideration and reevaluation of their severance packages, and hope that their demands will be heard before they have to take legal action."


[Forensic medicine in Dar-es-Salaam, United Republic of Tanzania].
The authors had opportunities to visit and see the present state of forensic medicine in Dar-es-Salaam, a capital city of United Republic of Tanzania. In this city, Department of Histopathology and Morbid Anatomy in Muhimbili University College of Health Sciences is in charge of education and practice of forensic medicine. All bodies of unusual death, about 3,000 cases per year, are brought to the university mortuary and examined by pathologists. An order of forensic autopsy from the Tanzanian police is submitted to the department with details of the case, i.e. circumstances of death, witnesses, weapons, etc. In each case, a pathologist signs out a death certificate and issues an autopsy report which is standardized throughout the country. Embalming after autopsy isessential in a tropical country. Tanzania in particular, to prevent both putrefaction of the body and dispersion of pathogens during its transportation. Preventive measures against biohazards from human immunodeficiency virus-infected bodies are considered in the autopsy room and laboratory. Although Tanzania is one of the developing countries in the world, the forensic medicine in the capital city is rendering great services in the promotion of public health.

Five others were infected in the neonatal intensive care unit at Geisinger Medical Center; four have recovered while one is still being treated.

The cases of pseudomonas infection were contained in the NICU and have not been reported in other parts of the hospital. According to a statement from Geisinger Medical Center, the facility is working with state health department officials as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to investigate and eradicate the bacteria.

"Out of an abundance of caution, the obstetrics and neonatal teams at Geisinger Medical Center are temporarily diverting mothers likely to deliver prematurely before 32 weeks gestation, and infants born at less than

The hospital has increased chlorination of water, bolstered water filtering, performed extra cleaning and changed some of its processes.

The investigation may not reveal exactly what went wrong, Shelly said.

Seven of the eight babies were born at less than 26 weeks of gestation, and the eighth was born at less than 27 weeks', according to the hospital.

Tens of thousands of people have sought shelter as the powerful Typhoon Hagupit heads towards the Philippines.

Hagupit, known locally as Ruby, has gusts of up to 230km/h (143mph) and is due to hit land on Saturday evening.

It is on course for the Eastern and Northern Samar provinces and the city of Tacloban, where thousands were killed by Typhoon Haiyan a year ago.

Local residents, many of them still living in temporary shelters, are moving away from coastal areas.

President Benigno Aquino, who met disaster agency chiefs on Friday afternoon, has ordered food supplies to be sent to affected areas, as well as military troops and police officers to be deployed to prevent looting in the aftermath.

Local


media reported Mr Aquino as saying there was "no indication" for now that Hagupit would be as strong as Haiyan.

Haiyan - known as Yolanda in the Philippines - was the most powerful typhoon ever recorded over land. It tore through the central Philippines in November 2013, leaving more than 7,000 dead or missing.

The latest update from Philippine weather authorities said that Hagupit, which means "smash" in Filipino, was weakening slightly, though it still has powerful gusts.

It could bring storm surges up to one storey high, as well as heavy rain and the risk of landslides, officials have warned.

Schools and government offices are closed in some areas and there were long queues at shops and petrolanchoring their boats in anticipation of the typhoon

Tacloban's Deputy Mayor Jerry Yaokasin told the BBC's Newsday: "We haven't yet fully recovered from last year's super-typhoon Haiyan and here we go again.

"It's like we're seeing a movie, it's like the Groundhog Day.

"And it's stirring up a lot of emotions in our hearts and bringing back so many painful memories of what happened during super typhoon Haiyan."

The Philippine weather authorities said that as of 16:00 local time on Friday (08:00 GMT) Hagupit was 370km (230 miles) east of Eastern Samar and moving at 13km/h, a relatively slow speed.

It has weakened slightly, but still remains powerful, with


sustained winds of 195km/h and gusts of up to 230km/h. Up to 35 provinces and municipalities are likely to be affected.

Image copyright AFP Image caption Residents have been crowding into shops to buy food supplies ahead of the typhoon's arrival

The US Navy's Joint Typhoon Warning Center had classified Hagupit as a super typhoon but downgraded it on Friday morning. It remains the strongest storm to hit the Philippines this year.

Meteorologists had said there was a chance Hagupit could veer north towards Japan and miss the Philippines altogether, but this scenario is increasingly seen as unlikely.

Casey himself was raised by a single mother, and he is relentless in his pursuit of the facts about the real lives and living conditions of single-parent families in America—especially critical at a moment when women are demonized for being unmarried and blamed for their circumstances.

countries. With the exception of the United States and Canada, all of the comparable nations also provide paid sick days, averaging over three days per year; and ten of the countries provide up to five days of paid leave annually to care for a sick child.

While a lack of paid leave makes it difficult for single parents to leave work in order to care for their children, a lack of affordable childcare and early childhood education options are a significant barrier to finding employment and keeping it.

In the thirteen comparison countries that are members of the European Union, pre-primary care for children ages 3 to 5 is close to universally available. In the United States, free education is generally available at least part-day for 5-year-olds, but much lessso for 3 and 4 year olds—with only 20 percent and 44 percent, respectively, enrolled in a public nursery school program in 2010.

As for child care, the cost in the United States is often prohibitive. In 2011, the average annual cost of full-time care for an infant at a daycare center ranged from $4,591 in Mississippi to $20,178 in Washington, DC. While the federal government provides some childcare subsidies for low-income parents, they reach only a fraction of those eligible and the co-pays can consume a significant chunk of a family’s income. (Georgetown University law professor Peter Edelman reported that federal assistance for childcare currently reaches about one in seven of those who are eligible.)

Exclusive interview with Dr. Mukhisa Kituyi, Secretary-General of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development

Seafood, including fish, is one of the most traded food commodities in the world. The livelihoods of some 660 to 880 million people depend on the fishing sector. Yet the basis of this prosperity is fragile: wild stocks are under increasing pressure, and improvements are necessary to more effectively harness the power of trade within value chains and their related services.

In an exclusive interview, Mr. Mukhisa Kituyi, Secretary-General of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), reveals how trade and trade policy work for the environment and the economy at the same time, while ensuring that local coastal communities as well as the rest of the population fully benefit from seafoodHealthy Oceans (2018), G-7 Members have committed to address illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, and other drivers of overexploitation of fish stocks, including by prohibiting harmful fish subsidies. According to the Blue Print, fish subsidies need to be collectively addressed through new rules in the World Trade Organization.

UNCTAD, UN Environment and FAO support countries in these efforts at the multilateral level, and by way of national-level policy design and implementation. To step up current efforts, the three agencies are proposing a SDG 14 trade-related joint plan of action. However, endorsement and support from governments will be crucial to realize this endeavor. The Oceans Forum can provide a platform to discuss what actions and new partnerships are required, in order to safeguard our oceans and maximize the benefits


In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Star Trek: The Original Series, Mattel will be showcasing an exclusive “Vina” Barbie Doll at the San Diego Comic-Con. The sexy character, made famous by actress Susan Oliver, appeared in the Star Trek pilot episode, “The Cage,” in 1965. Apparently the episode was not broadcast on television until 1988.

The episode is a cult classic and has a different captain, namely Christopher Pike. The story starts with the Enterprise crew receiving a radio distress call from the fourth planet in the Talos star group, where Captain Pike meets a beautiful young woman named Vina. She is a ruse of enemy forces, the Talosians, who seek to lure the Enterprise to their planet. Vina is presented to Pike in various guises and settings,Día de los Muertos: Learning About Death Through Observing and Pitching In.
The chapter explores how young children in the state of Puebla, Mexico are socialized with respect to death by observing and pitching in during the annual celebration for día de los muertos. This chapter focuses on observations made of children's participation in practices related to día de los muertos and their experiences with death as explored through ethnographic interviews of preschool children and adults from the cities of Cholula and Puebla. We found that children were included in all aspects of día de los muertos and participated by hanging out, observing, pitching in, and listening. Parents (and grandparents) viewed this active participation as crucial for children to acquire the skills and traditions necessary to be responsible adults

Speaking at the fourth annual conference of the Institute of Education Sciences, Duncan told an audience of education researchers that supporting states' efforts to build warehouses of data on student achievement is one of his top priorities.

"Education reform is not about sweeping mandates or grand gestures," Duncan told the group of researchers who conduct research for IES, which is an independent section of the Education Department. "It's about systematically examining and learning, building on what we've done right, and scrapping what hasn't worked for kids."

Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, states must make assurances that they are making progress in


students. Ultimately, he added, the data should be used to ensure that students are on track to graduation and success in college.

"Hopefully some day we can track kids from pre-school to high-school and from high school to college and college to career," Duncan said. "Hopefully we can track good kids to good teachers and good teachers to good colleges of education."

Duncan's speech is the first in a series over four weeks in which the secretary will detail the Department of Education’s policies on each of the four assurances.OwnersDirect.co.uk is part of the HomeAway family, the world leader in holiday home rentals with over 1 million listings.

"In Manitoba, more than anywhere else, it's a part of life."

The designation is bestowed based on the average number of Slurpee cups sold per store in a region, where Manitoba came out on top out of 16 countries. The sheer amount of Slurpees Manitobans have consumed to be awarded such a prestigious title is not available.

The 7-Eleven at the corner of Ness Avenue and Sturgeon Road sold the most Slurpees in the city, and has been the leader for about the last five years, manager Ali Mirza says.

"There's no flavour we've brought in that people don't like," he laughs, adding Dr. Pepper, Pepsi and grape are the most


popular. "It makes us feel proud that we have sold the most."

The first time Sharilyn Olinyk's daughter, Abbey, had a Slurpee, she was 12 weeks old.

"My mother-in-law was feeding her Slurpee. She said they were wondering who was going to give her her first Slurpee," Olinyk says.

Abbey, now 16, small Pepsi Slurpee in hand, admits to indulging in the ice-cold treat sometimes twice a day in summer.

"They're cold and refreshing," she says.

But Hamilton-Eddy warns Manitobans to watch out for the runners-up and the emerging Slurpee markets around the word, such as Indonesia, which are vying for the crown.

"They're certainly creeping up on Manitoba," she says. "They should definitely be fighting to claim the title."

Aidan has his own reason why they're so popular here. "They're tasty," he says.

For purposes of the legal question before us, it suffices to say that one of Perez's responsibilities — and the only one currently at issue — was to call Casiano on the telephone (as well as "page" his beeper) and invite him to a meeting, ostensibly to resolve their differences, at Perez Auto, a garage in Hartford owned by Wilfredo Perez. In fact, however, Perez was luring Casiano to the garage to give the hit men a clear opportunity to kill their target.

2001-2002, but have been back and fully formed since 2012, plus a brief reunion in 2010. Although all their members have been active in numerous other projects, it's kind of hard to ignore who's fronting this band. It's none other than Conor Oberst, who is best known for his main project, Bright Eyes (though their future is uncertain), as well as being involved in numerous other projects, such as the Mystic Valley Band, Monsters of Folk, and most recently, solo (he put out a fantastic album last year). Regardless, Desaparecidos are another amazing band to add to an already impressive resume, and quite different from any of the aforementioned. For one, they eschew the folk influence that is present in the others. This band has way more incommon with fellow Saddle Creek band Cursive than they do Bright Eyes. Oberst's typical quiver is abandoned in favour of anthemic rallying cries, often resulting in screams and shouts to convey the band's overtly political message. Whether it's 2002 or 2015, they've got a bone to pick with capitalism, if you know what I mean.

On their debut, Read Music/Speak Spanish, you hear the energy of a young band in wild revolt against the Bush Administration, American nationalism, economic inequality, and the tradition of marriage and courtship. The end result that emerges is a mess of Oberst's megaphone chants over duelling guitar riffs, pounding drums, and keyboards trying to find their place among the rage. The songs are just as catchy as they are punchy, and take the listener


on a train wreck that is the American Dream for 9-10 songs, depending on what version you've got.

Eight years after their debut and hiatus, they did a one-off reunion show in 2010. Two years after that though, that one-off show would prove to be the start of their actual reunion. In 2012 they began touring again, and recorded and released a slew of singles, which they put out on their website. These songs were the first new ones written and recorded since Read Music/Speak Spanish. Though the last of them was released in 2013, they were also included on 2015's Payola, which is just what we've finally been graced with. This is their long-awaited sophomore album, which features 6 previously released tracks, and 8 new ones. Needless toThe mystery surrounding this band only adds to the specialness of it, since they managed to write some of the most memorable songs within the realm of 90's emo, but were never unearthed like Mineral or something was. They came, they went, they stayed hidden, but they sure as hell won't be forgotten anytime soon. Their members apparently played in a few other bands, but the only one I really know of is Ordination Of Aaron, give them a try too. Enjoy.

that originated in Southern California in 1997, thought they relocated to Lawrence, Kansas a few years later. This band's name is probably familiar to you, since they've been an incredibly influential band in the development of indie/emo music, especially for their experimentation with post-rock and atmospheric effects. Though their first two albums sound a lot like Sunny Day Real Estate or Mineral derivatives, they really came into their own skin for their most experimental albums to date, the Low Level Owl volumes. They abandoned a lot of the standard song-structures found in their earliest work in favour of long, atmospheric, passages that would blend into each other. This seamless sound was really only most prominent on these two albums. Their follow-up to it, Two Conversations, was a returnso here's the antidote. This band released their debut album through Triple Crown Records in 2006, which immediately brought them a devoted fan base and plenty of attention, and for good reason. Their debut is solid, and filled with chunky rhythms and catchy melodies plastered with vocal harmonies and gang chants about friends, girls, and girlfriends. All the essentials of a pop punk album. This would be the last album they put out with their original singer, since he left a year after its release. In his place was then-guitarist Nick Thompson, who has been their frontman since then. Their next album, Skip School, Start Fights is a more "mature" (I use that word loosely) effort on their part, and their tightness in both their musicianship and songwriting

Senior hero Srikanth's recently released cop drama, Mental, has been mired in a series of controversies since many months thanks to its allegedly offensive title to which the Police Officer's Welfare Association raised objections.

In a latest controversy, a person named Karanam P Babji has alleged that the film's makers have cheated him by removing his name as the director in the film's titles and replacing it with someone named SK Basheed.

Babji said that his name was prominently featured as the director in the film's posters and trailer and that he even spent 5.17 lakhs from his own pocket for the film. Babji said that he will commit suicide in front of Film Chamber if he doesn't get justice.to Conagra at this time. Burlington Northern orally promised to send Conagra the official certificates of the wheat weight as measured in Tampa as verification of the amount of the loss. Conagra never received any written verification of the spillage, in the form of official weight certificates or otherwise.
During the period immediately following the derailment, Conagra and Burlington employees were in frequent telephone contact. The parties have stipulated that employees of Burlington were verbally advised of Conagra's intention to hold the railroad liable for all damages arising out of the derailment.
No formal written claim for the loss of the wheat was submitted to Burlington until August 23, 1974. On October 18, 1974, Burlington refused to reimburse Conagra on the ground that the claim was not timely under the

In the first half, Bryant had 18 points and O'Neal 16 to help the Lakers to a 62-58 halftime lead.

Bryant sat out practice on Tuesday and missed the morning shootaround on Wednesday.

Bryant had 13 points and O'Neal 10 in the first quarter. In a sign of things to come, the lead changed hands nine times during the first 12 minutes, and it was tied seven times.

He had 36 points in that loss. … With O'Neal shooting 61 percent from the line this season, Los Angeles coach Phil Jackson noted that he's no longer asked about the center's free throw shooting.
