AU practice observations: DB injured, DL switches to OL

A recap of observations from Auburn's third spring practice

Manning's move to offense is the second player to switch sides this spring, with Noah Igbinoghene working mostly at cornerback in addition to his role as a receiver.

Manning gives Auburn more depth at guard, where Horton, Marquel Harrell, Tyler Carr and Brodarious Hamm are the other options this spring.

"I think he thinks it's the most beneficial thing," defensive tackle Derrick Brown said. "He knows that the coaches wouldn't do anything that would mess up his career. He's taking it in and working with it. ...

Manning redshirted last season after he enrolled lastJanuary following eight months of chemotherapy treatments for acute promyelocytic leukemia, which he was diagnosed with on Thanksgiving 2015.

The former three-star recruit from Apopka, Fla. was among the players cited by players and coaches for their play during bowl practices.

The hope is he can bring the same physicality he showed on defense to the offense and develop skills to play at guard.

"He definitely physical," Horton said. "He's physical, so as long as a guy has that physicality in him, you can make him play O-line. You can teach him the details and he'll get there, but I think he's going to be good too."

Source: WilliamsAn Inuit man told a St. John's courtroom Monday that he never felt loved at the Labrador residential school he was forced to attend, and that punishment against Inuit students was very common.

Toby Obed said students at the North West River school were also bullied and taunted but staff did nothing to protect them.

"We were scared of staff. They could do or say anything at anytime," Obed sobbed as he testified during a class action lawsuit at Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Obed fought back tears as he told the court how staff would make students have sex on field trips and forced others to watch.

Obed cried out that he was sexually assaulted at the age of seven by an older child who was at the junior dormitory


in North West River.

Obed is one of more than 1,000 former Newfoundland and Labrador residential school students seeking apology and compensation in a class action suit that started last week. He is the first of dozens of former students who are expected to testify.

Lawyers for the students told the court that the former residents will be made to re-live all of the painful abuse they suffered.

Not allowed to attend funerals

Obed said he was taken from his family before he was four years old and sent to dormitory in North West River, in central Labrador.

He told the court how he was kept from his parents,and that when he was told they had died in the 1980s, he was not allowed to attend the funerals.

Obed said he remembers students being strapped for speaking Inuktitut. He was strapped many times on the back of his hands, and said if he cried or moved, he would be strapped again.

His sister was once fluent in the Inuit language but Obed said she has lost it because she was forbidden to speak it.

"She forgot, she forgot," said Obed."It's not right."

At one point Monday, the court was forced to take a break when Obed was unable to contain his emotions.

He said he didn't want to continue on the stand, but did, adding that he was speaking for all the people who can't.

When testimony resumed, Obed said children who


wet their beds were forced to stay there all day, and were not allowed to speak to anyone.

Under cross-examination, Obed was questioned by lawyers for both the Government of Canada and the International Grenfell Association, who asked about the punishment that students received.

Obed replied giving names of teachers and staff that he remembered were responsible.

The International Grenfell Association lawyer tried to establish that its members were unaware of any abuse that Obed suffered.

A lawyer for the federal government asked Obed if he thought the government knew what was happening to him.

"No," Obed replied.

Obed said testifying was very painful but he is relieved that it is over. Obed hopes this class-action suit will result in an apology for the Newfoundland and Labrador survivors, similar to apologies given to otheron Twitter, or otherwise — to Russia redrawing the European map on social media.

But Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said Russia had "invaded" Ukraine.

His comments came after NATO satellite images of Russian forces in sovereign Ukraine territory were released earlier in the day.


and dozens of other voter suppression tactics with the explicit intent of disenfranchising African-American voters not on the basis of race, which the 15th amendment forbade, but on some other pretext. For decades Southern extremists defended these laws, not with the violence of the Klan but with the courteous and respectable arguments of lawyers and politicians.

The whole point of 1965’s Selma campaign was to expose the extreme violence beneath the courteous veneer of Southern politicians’ voter suppression tactics. When Brown Chapel AME became a field hospital for citizens whose skulls were cracked open on the Edmund Pettus Bridge, the world saw clearly the violence of Alabama's political extremism.

In 1954, he moved to London, where he married Nora Egremont-Lee (née Henderson). In London, he exhibited at the Redfern Gallery (1958), the RBA Gallery (1959,1960), the AIA gallery (1960,1961) and the Savage Gallery (1960,1961). He also had a solo exhibition at the Stone Gallery (Newcastle) in 1961. In addition to painting, he also worked for several


before all worlds, God from God, Light from Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made; Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giverbefore Himself.

Although God, He did not consider that high position as something that He could not give up. So, He emptied Himself, or made Himself nothing. He poured Himself out and gave Himself away. The opposite of using His divine attributes for His own advantage. Did He cease being God? No. As God, He could not and did not give up His divine attributes or nature. But, He laid aside His glory and the independent use of His own attributes as God. He chose to accept human limitations—the body and nature of a man—and live on earth dependent on the will of God the Father. He needed to do that for us, to fulfill our need. That’s what the scripture says in Hebrews 2:14,17:

Chicago heat wave 24 years ago left more than 700 dead

Mayor says the city has learned lessons

Chicago sizzled through a heat wave 24 years ago that claimed 700 lives.

CHICAGO - A Chicago heat wave in 1995 took the lives of hundreds of people. And now the city is facing another.

In the city's poorest neighborhoods, 739 people, mostly elderly, died when temperatures reached 106 degrees, according to CNN affiliate WGN9. While this year's temperatures are not expected to match 1995, they will come close.

On Friday, the area saw temperatures in the 90's, according to the National Weather Service, with a heat index of up to 114 degrees. And the high for Saturday is expected to hit 95 degrees.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot says the city is taking measures notsenior centers have also been designated at cooling centers.

Lightfoot told reporters that no one would be turned away.

As the city reaches out to residents at risk, officials are also asking that community members act as eyes and ears.

Lightfoot encouraged residents of Chicago to check on relatives, neighbors and friends and alert authorities if they cannot reach them.

"As the temperatures rise, everyone should take care of themselves and also check on family members, friends and neighbors, especially the elderly, young children and people with underlying health conditions," said Chicago Department of Public Health Acting Commissioner Allison Arwady.

And while officials warned residents to stay out of the heat whenever possible, about 80 outdoor events are set to take place throughout the city over the weekend, according to a press release.


final stories in this collection allude more or less obliquely to the difficulties Walser experienced near the end of his Berlin years. While his three novels had been well-received by reviewers and other writers, not one of them sold well—a circumstance he found highly discouraging. Toward the end of his time in Berlin, he suffered a psychological crisis accompanied by severe writer's block that plagued him for a good two years. Eventually he was able to write again thanks to the "microscript" technique he developed for composing his rough drafts. This technique, which he would continue to rely on for the rest of his literary career, is described in detail in my introduction to Robert Walser, _Microscripts_ (New Directions/Christine Burgin, 2010). The effect of this crisis can bea good look at you? Try it, attract his attention sometime. His gaze is the gaze of a god. And then what is he like when he grows uneasy and strides up and down in his prison cell, pressing his princely strength against the walls of his cage. Always up and down. Up and down. For hours on end. What a scene! Up and down, and his powerful tail thrashes the ground.

The wizard, Na-En Ree, and his young Neltic apprentice, Pit, knew a secret. Because they were outcasts from Neptunian society, they lived far from the big cities. In the frozen tundra near the Kper Mountain range.

Once wizards were universally respected and no civilized city went without at least a dozen offering good advise. They were respected. That changed however with the rise of the scientific elite.

At the turn of the new millennium, a scientific cult became increasingly popular. The inventions they came up with awed the masses. Advances in weaponry and space travel opened up their world. Then trade with Jupiter was established, forever cementing their leadership.

The old ways were soon forbidden. The power of the wizards was broken. They were hunted downall over the planet in one day of terrible reckoning. There was only one survivor… Na-En Ree.

He escaped the terrible purge with the help of a young Neltic runaway. He led Na-En Ree to his crude cave in the frozen tundra near the Kper Mountain range. The boy had been on his own for months, and missed having company.

The boy, Pit, was a clever lad and Na-En Ree soon made him his apprentice. He took Pit outside every night to observe the stars and planets in the starry, starry skies. The wizard read the stars just like a Neptunian could read a book.

One night he took the boy outside as usual, but this time he told him to record what he saw. Pit saw the planet Jupiter, its


referendum on Britain's membership of the EU by 2017 if the Conservative Party is returned to government. Labour hasn't ruled out a referendum at some point and many EU civil servants believe the public mistrust of Brussels to be so high in Britain, they assume there'll be a demand for some kind of EU vote.

But the tone surrounding a possible referendum and its timing is thought here to depend very much on which party or parties form the next British government.

"Europe is watching," Sophie in 't Veld, vice-chair of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, told me.

"People here realise that national elections have implications for the course of theEuropean Union. Everyone is sure this UK election will somehow lead to a referendum and I hope Britain has not given up on the EU. The EU has certainly not given up on Britain."

The unpredictable nature of this UK election and the possibility of it resulting in a minority government also worries some of Britain's European partners.

image caption People angry at the initial results have been making their feelings known

As the glitter and confetti were still showering the activists at the headquarters of Mexico's Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) on Sunday, a hush suddenly came over the crowd.

They had been making a big noise for several hours now, as their candidate, Enrique Pena Nieto, appeared to have won the presidential election based on the preliminary results. He had already been described as "the president-elect" by the outgoing leader, Felipe Calderon.

But in mid-celebration, the music was interrupted and the crowd silenced to listen to the message of the nearest challenger, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.

Everyone in the audience, and in


the press centre, seemed to be thinking one thing: Will AMLO, as he is known here, accept the result?

Two days later, it has become very clear that he won't. He began by saying he would wait until every vote was counted before admitting defeat. By Tuesday, he was calling for a complete recount.

Fraud fears

A recount is a huge undertaking in Mexico. Tens of millions of votes were cast on Sunday in more than 143,000 polling stations.

image caption Mr Lopez Obrador missed out on victory in 2006 by a fraction

But Mr Lopez Obrador is adamant that they should all be counted again.

"The election was a national disgrace," the former mayor of Mexico City told reporters. "It was a disgrace because of the way the sponsors of the PRI andMr Lopez Obrador's team. Suffice it to say, the accusations are dismissed as sour grapes and Mr Lopez Obrador as a sore loser by the PRI.

For those who follow Mexican politics, these events may sound familiar. In 2006, Mr Lopez Obrador missed out on the presidency by little over half a percentage point. His supporters took to the streets of Mexico City in their tens of thousands and brought the capital to a standstill.

Many people had hoped to avoid a repeat of such gridlock - both in the streets and politically - and the candidates signed a "civility pact" before the vote promising to respect the result.

Accepting defeat

Surely though, if the former mayor has proof of wrong-doing, he should continue his legal fight until the last?

In the meantime, the man who the authorities say has won the election is trying to press on regardless. Now the vote is over, and the domestic audience is less important, Mr Pena Nieto's team have been pushing his international credentials.

The day after the vote he called a news conference in which he said he had been congratulated by many international leaders, including President Barack Obama and the British Prime Minister, David Cameron.

He also looked to reassure an international audience that the PRI is no longer mired in the corruption and authoritarianism of the past.

"To those concerned about a return to old ways, fear not," he wrote inThe 15-year-old hacker known as Cosmo the God was behind the takeover of a Westboro Baptist Church member's Twitter feed, a source with direct knowledge of the attack confirmed to Wired on Monday.

Cosmo gained access to the @DearShirley Twitter account via an e-mail account, and from there was able to leverage control of the Twitter feed itself, according to the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity. As of this writing, the account remains up and operating, and seemingly beyond the control of its owner.

Westboro Baptist Church is notorious for picketing funerals of American soldiers killed in action in Iraq and Afghanistan. Last week the organization apparently announced its intention to protest at the funerals of the children killed at Sandy Hook, with spokewoman Shirley Lynn Phelps-Roper tweeting


the following: "Westboro will picket Sandy Hook Elementary School to sing praise to God for the glory of his work in executing his judgment."

The sentiment was echoed on Westboro Baptist Church's website, which included the line "God sent the shooter to Newton, CT."

The announcement triggered astonished outrage from observers, and the hacker group Anonymous declared open season on the group, publishing contact information for many of its members, including Phelps-Roper. Phelps-Roper's Twitter account @DearShirley was then taken over early Monday morning.

Cosmo the God has been able to keep control of the account using a flaw in Twitter's Zendesk system that allows an attacker to close an account support ticket before it's acted on, according to the source, who demonstrated inside knowledge of the account takeover.

Real damage does not seem to have been done. The Queen's evident sympathy with the position of the man she thought was the Canadian premier, Jean Chretien, in trying to hold his possibly fragmenting country together, yesterday did not seem to be creating any unfortunate backlash among Quebec's French separatist community. The Queen's expressions were careful, and constitutional experts took the view that she would naturally support the position of the Government of Canada, and Canada itself seems too preoccupied with the actual referendum to bother overmuch.

"The Queen behaved perfectly properly. She was prepared to act on the advice of the Canadianmay well be realising that all is not well but cannot possibly do anything about it.

The Queen's muted responses to an enquiry about her possible Hallowe'en costume, and to a request to keep her televised address to Canada to the length of a cornflake packet, indicate that the royal brain may well have been forming the equivalent of the thought, unvoiceable in the diplomatic cirumstances: "this character is a nutter".

Natural Royal supporters could see the funny side yesterday. The Canadian high commissioner, Royce Frith, dismissed the hoax call as "a joke". Speaking outside his official residence in Grosvenor Square, London, a smiling Mr Frith said: "It is a joke and it is an old joke. But I thought the Queen was terrific." As he headed off to attend


a good chuckle in the fullness of time. And ultimately, I think she handled herself very deftly. She gave no hostages to fortune."

Yesterday an embarrassed spokesperson for the real Jean Chretien refused to explain how the prime minister's office apparently verified the hoax call from Pierre Brassard in Montreal, which allowed him to get through and speak with the Queen for 17 minutes.

The Palace followed a routine process of checking back to Canada when it receives a call from the Canadian government but neither the prime minister's spokesperson nor Mr Brassard would reveal how he bypassed this procedure.

In Canada yesterday the call was being dismissed as another publicity stunt by the broadcaster and sometime actor who has made a career out of impersonating famous persons and calling celebrities- such as the Pope - while he is on the air.

The incident has been totally overshadowed in Quebec and in the French- speaking press by the reverberations from the huge national unity demonstration in Montreal on Friday, where police estimates now put the crowd at more than 150,000.

These findings were "approved as to form" by plaintiff's attorneys. On the same day, February 17, 1928, the court filed its "Interlocutory Order," which decreed that defendant was entitled to an interlocutory decree of divorce but made no mention of the custody of children or the payment of alimony. Upon the expiration of six months a final decree was made and entered granting an absolute divorce to Mrs. Benway, but making no mention of custody, alimony or support money. *578
 On January 14, 1942, Mrs. Benway executed, and on April 2, 1942, filed inthe Washington court a "Petition for Modification of Judgment Nunc Pro Tunc," in which she recited the facts hereinbefore set forth, and further recited that she had surrendered to plaintiff the care of the three minor sons of the parties, but had maintained and supported the minor daughter; and she prayed that the decree of divorce be corrected by an order nunc pro tunc as of the date thereof to provide for and set forth the intents and wishes of the parties to the property settlement as set forth in the findings of fact. She also filed a petition to determine the amount of alimony due from Benway. On April 6, 1942, the court made and entered a "Nunc Pro Tunc Order Correcting Interlocutory Decree," which recited that


Benway had been given notice by service upon his former attorney and that it appeared from an inspection of the records that the order given and made on February 17, 1928, "was entered in such a way as not to set forth correctly the order of this court as then made in the premises, and that the judgment of this court should incorporate the additional finding of the court as hereinafter set forth so as to conform to the facts and speak the truth." It was then ordered that the finding of the court "That the agreement settling the property rights and custody of the children of the parties is approved and made a part hereof," be incorporated in the decree and made a part thereof. On April8, 1942, the court made and entered a "Judgment for Alimony Due," which recited that the total sum due to date, after deducting $250 paid by Benway, was $3,991.66.
 After introducing the foregoing record in the case before us plaintiff rested.
 Defendant then took the stand and testified that he had not been in the State of Washington since 1928, that no "due process" had been served upon him in that proceeding, that he had no attorney in the divorce proceeding who had authority to represent him after the final decree was entered in Washington, that three of the children had been with him and only one with the mother. No other evidence was offered. The trial court filed a memorandum opinion in which it stated that the

Respondent himself instituted the divorce proceeding, appeared in answer to appellant's cross-complaint and made no denial of the allegation therein that the parties had entered into an agreement as to property, alimony and the custody of the children. He was well aware of the findings of the court made and filed, same having been approved as to form by his counsel. His awareness of his obligation to pay to Mrs. Benway the $25 provided by the agreement is evidenced by his deposit of $250 with the clerk of the court in part payment of this obligation.

The squadron was first activated in 1943 as the 781st Bombardment Squadron.  It served in combat in the Mediterranean Theater of Operations as a Consolidated B-24 Liberator unit, earning two Distinguished Unit Citations for its actions.  After V-E Day, the squadron served in Air Transport Command, ferrying men from the combat theater back to the United States.

The early hours of a Monday morning, four days before Christmas: it’s not a time you would expect to see thousands of Spaniards waiting patiently to hear the Ghostbusters theme tune. But then the crowd of people who gathered in the Plaza del Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid in December were Podemos activists who knew that the song would herald the arrival of Pablo Iglesias, the ponytailed leader of the left-wing party. Hours earlier, Iglesias had led Podemos – still less than two years old – to third place in the national elections, breaking more than 40 years of political convention.

Izzat Artykov won gold at this year's Asian Championships

Kyrgyzstan weightlifter Izzat Artykov has become the first Rio medallist to test positive for a banned substance and has been stripped of his bronze.

Artykov finished third in the men's -69kg weightlifting competition.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport said the 22-year-old's "medal is forfeited" and "he is excluded from the Games" after testing positive for strychnine.

The bronze medal will be reallocated by the weightlifting federation and the International Olympic Committee.

Colombian Luis Javier Mosquera Lozano would be the weightlifter to move into the bronze medal position, having finished fourth.

Meanwhile, Moldovan canoeist Serghei Tarnovschi has been provisionally suspended for failing a drug test.

On Sunday afternoon Ella and I went to our favorite little boy's first birthday celebration. It is hard to believe that Alston is a year old! His sweet mommy threw a wonderful backyard picnic complete with homemade chili and grilled cheese sandwiches. I wish I had gotten a picture of the caterpillar cake she made, it was adorable. Thanks, Mrs. Beth, for letting us celebrate the day with you.

So... Amanda at My Nashville Nest nominated me for this award on October 2nd. In case you haven't noticed, it's the 12th. I'm ten days late for saying thank you and telling you all to visit her precious blog. She and her husband got married in Italy and her pictures are beautiful. She's aknow you know we have a big silver dog named Beemer... wanna know how she came to be? I had never had a dog before and Josh wanted an inside one. I decided I wanted weim after working at the Birmingham Museum of Art during a William Wegman exhibit. She came from Tupelo, MS. We named her Beemer because I always said I wanted a silver BMW - Josh said this was the only one we could afford. I rescued her from the crate the very first night and she's been sleeping in our bed for six years.

I've been in several many car accidents. The first one was when I was fourteen and my boyfriend got sideswiped by a transfer truck. We didn't call our parents because we

A great many actors have stepped up to play the ever-changing face of John Connor, but the upcoming Terminator reboot, Terminator: Genesis, may have just found its newest savior. According to Deadline, Jason Clarke is in talks to play John Connor, the fabled leader of the human resistance who is destined to save humanity from a sentient artificial intelligence.
If Clarke is chosen for the role, he would join the ranks of Edward Furlong, Nick Stahl, Christian Bale, and Thomas Dekker, who have previously portrayed the character in thefranchise’s various incarnations across film and television. The Terminator reboot has also been searching for a new Sarah Connor, John's no-nonsense mother, who was originally played with fire and gusto by Linda Hamilton. Actresses Emilia Clarke and Brie Larson have both been short-listed for the role, and since both are significantly younger than Clarke, there’s bound to be a significant amount of time travel throughout the movie, something the series has dabbled in extensively throughout its history. Arnold Schwarzenegger is also slated to reprise his role as the Terminator, but the film would be better served casting an actor that isn't so far past his sell-by date. Schwarzenegger isn't nearly as physically imposing as he was in 1984, and the series could use a break from its old


patterns.
The last film in the series, Terminator: Salvation, marked the second dud in a row for the franchise that has been plagued with recycled ideas and creative misdirection since its third film. The series has had trouble stopping itself from dipping into the well of worn ideas and repeating itself. Hopefully, director Alan Taylor (Thor: The Dark World) can breathe some much needed imagination into a series that hasn’t done much (besides the short-lived Sarah Connor Chronicles TV series) to justify its existence beyond its first two excellent entries. A good first step would be casting someone else as the Terminator instead of Schwarzenegger, but Arnold's return seems like an inevitability at this point. Maybe Hollywood can manage to produce a good Terminator film before our Roombas starttheir campaign for human extinction.

Troubled actor Nick Stahl is back behind bars after he was arrested in Los Angeles on drug charges. The Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines star, who has struggled with substance abuse issues in the past, was taken into custody in the early hours of Friday (28Jun13) after police allegedly found him using Methamphetamine at a Hollywood hotel.
Stahl remained in custody as WENN went to press.
The 33 year old's latest brush with the law comes just one day after he told TMZ.com he was on the road to sobriety after spending time in hospital on an involuntary psychiatric hold.
On Thursday (27Jun13), he said, "(My recovery is) going good. It's a process... Things seems to be (looking up) and I'm just grateful."
Stahl has


faced a tough few years - his wife Rosie has reported him missing on several occasions and he checked into rehab last year (12) to conquer his demons, only to quit and vanish again soon afterwards.
He was cleared of his most recent legal run-in, a charge for lewd conduct, in February (13) after allegedly misbehaving while watching an adult movie in a Los Angeles porn store last year (12).

Troubled actor Nick Stahl has been released from hospital after he was placed on an involuntary psychiatric hold for "stress" earlier this month (Jun13). The Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines star, who has struggled with drugs and alcohol abuse in the past, was admitted to a medical centre in Los Angeles on 18 June (13) on a 5150 order,which allows doctors to hold a person deemed a danger to himself or others.
The 33-year-old actor has now been released from hospital and he reveals stress was behind his troubles, telling TMZ.com, "(My recovery is) going good. It's a process... It was stress. It was life problems, just some stress and it was a little overblown..."
However, Stahl insists he feels grateful for the intervention, adding, "It was helpful... Things seems to be (looking up) and I'm just grateful."

Former Terminator star Edward Furlong faces four years behind bars after allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend, actress Monica Keena. The former child star has been charged with felony dissuading a witness by force or threat and felony vandalism following claims he damaged his former lover's laptop and photo equipment during a dispute


at her home last month (May13).
Furlong is also accused of threatening her if she called the police, according to TMZ.com.
The actor was arrested following the altercation on suspicion of violating a protective order she had obtained against him.
He has also been charged with disobeying a domestic restraining order - a misdemeanour - and has been ordered to return to court on 1 July (13).
At press time Furlong was still behind bars - he was initially released on 18 May (13), but returned to jail on 10 June (13) after a Los Angeles judge ruled his bail was too low.
It has been a tough week for stars who have played John Connor in the Terminator movies - Nick Stahl has been placed on an involuntary psychiatric hold after hewas hospitalised in Los Angeles.
The Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines star, who has long struggled with drugs and alcohol abuse, was admitted to a medical centre in the early hours of Tuesday (18Jun13).

Embattled actor Nick Stahl has been placed on an involuntary psychiatric hold after he was hospitalised in Los Angeles. The Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines star, who has long struggled with drugs and alcohol abuse, was admitted to a medical centre in the early hours of Tuesday (18Jun13), reports TMZ.com.
Further details about the 5150 order had yet to be revealed as WENN went to press.
The 33 year old has faced a tough few years - his wife Rosie has reported him missing on several occasions and he checked into rehab last year (12) to


conquer his demons, only to quit and vanish again soon afterwards.
Stahl was cleared of his most recent legal run-in, a charge for lewd conduct, in February (13) after allegedly misbehaving while watching an adult movie in a Los Angeles porn store last year (12), and he revealed in May (13) that he was working on turning his life around after passing his driving test.

The troubled actor was facing prosecution after undercover vice officers allegedly caught him committing a "lewd act" while watching a pornographic movie in a private booth at an adult store in Los Angeles.
However, prosecutors have now decided to drop the case due to insufficient evidence, according to TMZ.com.
The news will come as a boost to Stahl, who has suffered numerous personal problems over the lastfew months. He went missing several times and also endured a stint in rehab.

Edward Furlong, once best known as The Terminator 2: Judgement Day's young John Connor, was arrested Sunday according to the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department's online records. E! reports that the Furlong was apprehended by law enforcements in the early morning hours after allegedly pushing his girlfriend.
These aren't first reports that have involved the couple in a domestic dispute. Furlong was arrested in October for an alleged incident with his girlfriend at the LAX airport. In November, she again accused him of another domestic incident. Furlong even had an outstanding $30,000 warrant out for his arrest stemming from one of the two described allegations.
On Sunday, Furlong was placed in jail with a $50,000 bond set. According


Thursday (27Dec12) after undercover vice officers allegedly caught him committing a "lewd act" while watching a pornographic movie in a private booth at an adult store in Hollywood.
He was booked on a lewd conduct charge and released on bail, according to TMZ.com.
Stahl is said to have told a cameraman for the website his arrest was a "misunderstanding" as he exited the police station.
The 33 year old has battled a series of personal problems this year (12) - he disappeared multiple times and also checked into a rehabilitation clinic to receive treatment for substance abuse.

Summary

A talented actor with a penchant for playing intense, often troubled young men, Nick Stahl garnered the respect ofcritics and his peers at a young age with a winning combination of independent and mainstream films. At the age of 14, Stahl made his feature film debut opposite Mel Gibson in the drama "The Man Without a Face" (1993). After a slew of television and theatrical projects, he was appearing in such diverse, high-profile films as the teen thriller "Disturbing Behavior" (1998) and venerated director Terence Malick's war treatise "The Thin Red Line" (1998). Stahl continued the trend with important roles in the acclaimed drama "In the Bedroom" (2001) and the controversial based-on-fact tale of teen murder, "Bully" (2001). He later followed a starring role in the big-budget action sequel, "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" (2003) with the lead on the well-regarded cable series "Carnivale" (HBO,


2003-05). After his disturbing, but memorable supporting role in the hugely popular neo noir, "Sin City" (2005), Stahl worked steadily in such indie efforts as "How to Rob a Bank" (2008) and "388 Arletta Avenue" (2012). One of the edgier screen performers of his generation, Stahl continually made career choices based on his interest in the content of a project, rather than the size of its budget.
Born on Dec. 5, 1979 in Harlingen, TX, Nicolas Kent Stahl was the youngest of three children born to Donna Lynn and William Kent Stahl, who left the family when Nick was but two years old. When Lynn, a brokerage assistant, took her son to his first play at the age of four, it seemed to instantaneously set the course of hislife. Declaring that he wanted to become an actor, Stahl began taking lessons at the nearby Melva Smith School of Dance and before long was picking up roles in stage productions and local television commercials. Spotted by a talent agent, the 12-year-old thespian soon made his primetime acting debut as Robert Urich's son in the thriller "Stranger at My Door" (CBS, 1991) followed by another turn in "Woman with a Past" (NBC, 1992), starring Pamela Reed as a mother attempting to leave her troubled past behind.
A mere three years into his professional career, Stahl's breakout role in his first feature film came when actor-director Mel Gibson cast him as a troubled adolescent who agrees to be tutored by a reclusive, disfigured teacher (Gibson) in "The Man Without a


Face" (1993). Now off and running, Stahl was soon seen opposite veteran actors like Susan Sarandon and Sam Shepard in the drama "Safe Passage" (1994). The teenage Stahl excelled in portraying troubled, often victimized youths, as he did in the television projects "Incident in a Small Town" (CBS, 1994) and "Blue River" (Fox, 1995), although the feature "Tall Tale: The Adventures of Pecos Bill" (1995) allowed the actor a rare opportunity to play a more proactive young hero. In the Southern gothic "Eye of God" (1997), he was well-cast as a teenager who may have witnessed - or participated in - a murder. Alongside fellow rising stars James Marsden and Katie Holmes, he co-starred as a rebellious teen who becomes convinced something is wrong with his seemingly perfectpeers in the popular thriller "Disturbing Behavior" (1998).<p>Also that year, Stahl went on to appear in the all-star ensemble of legendary director Terrence Malick's lyrical adaptation of James Joyce's autobiographical war novel, "The Thin Red Line" (1998). He next portrayed an aspiring musician in the little-seen 1970s comedy, "Sunset Strip" (2000), followed by a substantial role in "The Sleepy Time Gal" (2001), where he portrayed the son of a cancer-stricken writer (Jacqueline Bisset). The harrowing drama, "In the Bedroom" (2001) cast Stahl as the murdered son of a New England couple (Sissy Spacek and Tom Wilkinson) and earned him nothing but praise from critics. The pundits were far more divided, however, over the actor's next project, "Bully" (2001), director Larry Clark's sordid - some claimed fetishistic - account


of a group of amoral Florida teens who plot the demise of Stahl's abusive character. While many took issue with the morally ambiguous tone of Clark's film, which was inspired by actual events, no one could deny that the intense, riveting performance of Stahl made him one of the young stars to watch in the new millennium.
Stahl was next seen in the occult horror film, "Taboo" (2002), prior to appearing alongside Claire Danes and Arnold Schwarzenegger in the sci-fi action-adventure "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" (2003). In the big-budget sequel, Stahl took over the role of John Conner, previously played by Edward Furlong, who is once again targeted by an even more advanced Terminator (Kristanna Loken) sent from a future ruled by the sentient computer system Skynet.Stahl then took on his first starring role on an ongoing television series with "Carnivale" (2003-05), a dark fantasy-drama exploring the struggle between good and evil in the Dust Bowl region during the Great Depression. Stahl was cast as Ben Hawkins, a young man possessed with remarkable healing powers who travels with an eccentric circus troupe. Though critically acclaimed and highly rated during its first season, the stylized, difficult-to-define show soon began to lose its audience. Much to the dismay of Stahl, his fellow cast members and the show's relatively small but fiercely loyal number of fans, the Emmy-winning "Carnivale" was cancelled after its second season.
Stahl rebounded nicely, however, when he landed the choice role of Roark Junior, the sadistic, disfigured titular serial killer in the "That Yellow


Bastard" sequence of Robert Rodriguez and co-director Frank Miller's "Sin City" (2005). In the stylized, duotone rendition of Miller's original graphic novel, Stahl was repulsively convincing as a pedophile psychopath ultimately brought to justice by a broken down ex-cop (Bruce Willis). Stahl followed the success of "Sin City" with a string of smaller, independent films that included the off-beat comedy "The Night of the White Pants" (2006), which reteamed him with Tom Wilkinson. He later joined a cast that included Charlize Theron, Woody Harrelson and AnnaSophia Robb in the coming-of-age drama "Sleepwalking" (2008), then picked up a supporting role in the Renée Zellweger vehicle, "My One and Only" (2009), a fictionalized account of the unconventional childhood of future movie star George Hamilton. In 2009, Stahl married Rose Murphy,with whom he had a daughter, Marlo, the following year. Film work of this period included a turn as a small-town detective investigating the death of a juvenile in the crime drama "Meskada" (2010), followed by a pairing with rising starlet Olivia Wilde in the thriller "On the Inside" (2011).<p>Working steadily, albeit in films that saw only limited theatrical or direct-to-DVD release, he also starred as a disillusioned journalist trying to expose war atrocities in "Afghan Luke" (2011). Unfortunately, trouble began to brew for the actor after he and his wife separated in January 2012. The following month, Murphy filed papers for divorce, reportedly also requesting that the amount of time Stahl be allowed to spend with their daughter be limited and that he submit to drug and


alcohol testing prior to the scheduled visits. In May of that year, just days before the release of Stahl's latest film, "388 Arletta Avenue" (2012), a thriller in which he played a young husband tormented by a demented stalker, Murphy reported her estranged husband missing to the LAPD. Last seen in L.A.'s notorious Skid Row district a week prior to the report, authorities speculated that drugs might have been involved in his sudden disappearance. Not long after reports he had gone missing surfaced, Stahl reportedly entered rehab.

THE DEPARTMENT OF Foreign Affairs says it is unaware of any Irish citizens, residents or tourists, who are missing or injured following the explosions at the Boston Marathon.

Figures from race organisers listed 108 Irish citizens among the athletes taking part – some of whom had just finished, or were approaching the finish line – in the Marathon where two explosions went off at the finish line on the crowded Boylston Street.

Those included 50 athletes who had supplied home addresses in Ireland – including 17 from Dublin, five from Galway, and threefrom Cork. Other athletes had supplied addresses in counties Kerry, Louth, Kilkenny, Carlow, Waterford and Cavan.

Three people are known to have died, including an 8-year-old boy, with 140 injured. Around a dozen people are thought to have lost limbs in the blasts.

A spokeswoman for the Department of Foreign Affairs told TheJournal.ie this morning that the Irish consulate in the city had been in touch with emergency centres and the Irish community.

She said there was no update to last night’s news, when a spokesman had said that all Irish participants and travellers were thought to have been accounted for.

Those included ten athletes travelling from a team at the Royal College of Surgeons, and a dozen who had travelled with the Sports Travel International tour operator.

Victor is coming back home. There’s been unrest in the country for a while. It is religious clashes between Muslims and Christians. His family is poor but a potential target. His father is a pastor in the local church.

He comes back home and learns that there was an attack and both of his parents were killed. He is 11 years old, nowhere to go to and possible next target that barely escaped death onlycan be incapacitated with the push of a button. The Russians proved that with the flyover of the USS Donald Cook in the Black Sea in April of 2014. Even the sailors who witnessed that unparalleled incident on the ship were profoundly affected.

According to some specialized media, 27 sailors from the USS Donald Cook requested to be relieved from active service.

During several years I spent in Alaska, the song of the robin was a familiar companion in a vast land. The sound was a true thrill to hear. It meant that the days were lengthening and the deeply restoring smells and sights of the Alaskan summer was not far off. In Alaska, where the days merge into nights under the midnight sun, the robins song was nearly continuous. As we cherished the light of the endless days, the robins too called out their joyous songs.

The home secretary, Theresa May, launched a major campaign to scale back the mass use of stop and search by the police and to replace it with targeted operations on crime hotspots designed to improve arrest rates. She has argued large-scale stop and search operations can poison community relations.

The official evaluation looked at 10 London boroughs which saw a threefold increase in weapon searches by the police, up from 34,154 in the year before to 123,335 in the first year of Operation Blunt 2, which began in the spring of 2008.

It also compared crime rates in a further 16 London boroughs, which saw a much smaller increase – up 18,103 – in weapon searches oversich, Kant, Wille zur Macht, relationale vs. intrinsische Eigenschaften 1 Thanks to Tsarina Doyle, Tom Bailey and to the anonymous reviewers for their helpful comments on previous drafts of this paper. 2 0) Introduction2 Although the distinction between the thing "in itself" and its "appearance" was already important in early modern philosophy,3 it was Kant who awarded these two concepts the status of termini technici, which nearly all German philosophy was subsequently confronted with. Despite Fichte and Hegel's swift elimination of Kant's distinction, other philosophers – firstly the Kantian sui generis Schopenhauer – reembraced it in order to build their own systems. In the 1860s, when Otto Liebmann's call for a return to Kant began to gain support from mainstream German academics, the issue came to the forefront


of philosophical debate, particularly with regard to the controversial notion of the thing in itself. However, this did not occur solely among strict Neo-Kantians. Nietzsche, as is widely known, developed his ideas within this philosophical atmosphere: he frequently re-read Friedrich Albert Lange's History of Materialism, projected a dissertation on the problem of teleology after Kant and was interested in the Kantian-framed physiological theory elaborated by scientists such as Hermann von Helmholtz.4 Of course, he also became an enthusiastic Schopenhauerian. It is therefore unsurprising that the Kantian distinction between thing in itself and appearance occurs repeatedly in Nietzsche's works and notes, often playing a key role. In particular, Nietzsche has been often presented as the philosopher who, after having endorsed this Kantian distinction in his previous work, eventually endsdistinction in order to build the theoretical framework of his Artisten-Metaphysik, as conveyed in the Birth of Tragedy, and then again in order to maintain the epistemological considerations exposed in Truth and Lie in Extra-Moral Sense. It was not until the end of the 1870s – in the first book of Human, All Too Human – that Nietzsche began to criticise Kant's distinction, while at the same time abandoning the view of art, science and culture that he had defended in the Birth of Tragedy and moving toward the more enlightened philosophy of the "free spirit". However, this criticism does not directly challenge the ontological distinction between the thing in itself and its appearance, but rather dismisses it as a mere theoretical question which is ultimately meaningless in


that Nietzsche himself often supports, whereby the very concept of "thing" depends, on the one hand on the distinction between subject and predicate operated by the language, and on the other hand on our proclivity to personification, to ascribe to all external things an "energetic-active" nature. Here, the notion of "thing" emerges gradually as the idea of a substratum separated from the multiple "accidents" and is conceptualized as bearing them. Following this line of thought, Nietzsche then quotes a later passage from Avenarius' book, which directly addresses the problem of the thing in itself: In the development of thought the moment had to come when it became clear that what were referred to as properties of things were sensations of the sentient subject: thus, properties ceased to belongCambridge 2002, p. xxvi. 18 Actually, Nietzsche frequently seems to refer to the "will to power" as to the very nucleus of reality, defining it for instance as the "essence" of the world (BGE 186). In this sense, he appears to vary on Schopenhauer's theme, reintroducing the idea of the will – to power, in Nietzsche's case – as the "thing in itself", as the metaphysical core which lies beyond the realm of appearances. Indeed, the way in which Nietzsche presents the concept of the will to power is very ambiguous, as the controversial interpretation of the aphorism 36 of Beyond Good and Evil testifies. One can find passages both in the published works and in the Nachlass which seem to endorse the claim raised by Eisler, Houlgate


have a suspect, there is another person they have yet to find.

"She was just a very fun person to be around," says Roxanne's brother Brad Woods. "She always had a smile, and she just lightened up a room when she came in."

In 1987, Roxanne Wood was 30-years-old. Her family says she loved to shop, go to the movies and had plans to start a family with her husband Terry.

"The last time I talked to her was a couple days before," says Janet.

She and her sister were close.

"For all I knew, we were going to go shopping Saturday morning," says Janet.

But early in the morning on February 20, Roxanne was murdered.

"Beyond angry," says Janet, as she starts crying, "I lost a best friend, a lifelong best friend."

A Cold Case

"Unfortunately,this case is what you consider a cold case," says Michigan State Police Detective Fabian Suarez. Suarez was part of a team of cold case investigators who looked into the case 10 years ago.

"This is the original report," says Suarez as he holds up a large binder. "At 1:18 a.m., the 911 Niles City received a dispatch call from Terry Wood. He was telling them that his wife Roxanne had been murdered and raped."

Suarez says that evening, Roxanne and her husband were bowling. Roxanne left early. Police believe her husband Terry arrived at their Niles home on Tam-O-Shanter Lane shortly after 1 a.m. Roxanne was lying in a pool of blood.

According to the South Bend Tribune, she had been hit over the head with a frying pan, and


police say her throat had been slashed. Investigators never found the murder weapon which they believe was a filet knife. They found no evidence of forced entry or a struggle and no evidence of sexual assault.

"The scene just looked like whoever was there with her, she knew who it was and she didn't fear for her life until it was too late" says Suarez.

A Suspect and Reasonable Doubt

In 1994, Roxanne's husband, Terry Wood, told the South Bend Tribune he was a prime suspect. Detective Suarez says that is still the case.

"The husband, Terry Wood, has always been the main suspect, the main person of interest in this investigation," says Suarez.

Suarez says Wood's story has never made sense, and when police tried to interview him in 1987, the interviewMre than 12,300 catering sector workers have lost their jobs in the third quarter.

A total of 462 caterers wound up during the third quarter, and 12,311 workers lost their jobs as a result, leading to an HK$2.32 billion decline quarter on quarter in the total revenue in the industry, according to a government report on the services sector.

Bars and restaurants were the ones hit hardest, the 'Quarterly Supplement to Statistical Digest of the Services Sector,' shows.

There were 18,286 caterers in first quarter, and this increased to 18,480 in the second quarter. However, the number dropped to 18,018 in the third quarter amid the social turmoil, albeit 57 more than that in the third quarter of last year.

Meanwhile, the number of retail shops also dropped by 976 from last


On Jan. 11, Taiwan will elect a new government, its seventh since 1996 when a constitutional amendment gave Taiwanese a say in who would represent them at the highest levels of island politics.

If projections hold, Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) President Tsai Ing-wen will be re-elected for a second term, although the party’s legislative majority may be reduced.

As in 2016, the Beijing-friendly Kuomintang party has been plagued by anti-mainland sentiment, sparked this time by unrest in Hong Kong, along with the party’s choice of presidential candidate Han Kuo-yu, whose populist appeal has declined significantly since his surprise victory in last year’s Kaohsiung mayoral election.

Like in every election in Taiwan, the overwhelming preoccupation is how mainland China will react, especially given its strong disapproval of Tsai and her independence-leaning DPP.

Tsai’sambivalence seems to be a plus for Han, who rarely talks about practical proposals for governance, while advocating grand schemes like putting national flags on top of Taiwan’s tallest mountains and displaying all the treasures in the National Palace Museum at once.

Silly as they seem, Academia Sinica political scientist Nathan Batto said that such proposals speak a symbolic language meant to inspire Chinese patriotism.

Nostalgia for the authoritarian past also plays well.

With the cooperation of the KMT-affiliated China Youth Corps, a theater group from the mainland will tour central and southern Taiwan this month performing a unification-themed program titled “The Love of a Chinese Family, a Celebration of Taiwan.”

Party unity has not been well served by such tactics.

With little tolerance for dissent, KMT bosses have stripped at least five

Archaeologists are convinced they've unearthed the secret behind the world's most famous painting, the Mona Lisa.Buried beneath the floor of a convent in Florence, Italy they've found a skeleton they believe belonged to Lisa Gherardini, the model who posed for Leonardo's da Vinci's mysterious masterpiece.Most modern historians agree that the lady depicted in the Mona Lisa was Lisa del Giocondo, who became a nun after her husband's death. She died in the convent on July 15, 1542, aged 63.An archeological team began digging at the abandoned Convent of Saint Ursula last year.They first had to dig through thick concrete, laid down ahead of plans to turn the convent into an army barracks.But they quickly struck gold, finding a crypt they believe to have been Lisa's final resting placeand soon after they unearthed a female-sized human skull.The skull was found five feet under the convent's original floor along with other fragments of human ribs and vertebrae.Plans to continue the dig were suspended when the team ran out of funds, but they were able to resume last month.And this week, they found a human skeleton.The bones will undergo tests to establish if they match the skull found last year.Scientists will then compare the DNA in the bones with the remains of the model's two children who were buried nearby in an attempt.Once they have verified the skeleton and skull belong to the modelf orensic artists will attempt to reconstruct her face to see how it compares to the 500-year-old version painted by da Vinci - and perhaps


that was mentioned in church records from 1495 and was reached via a grate and then a staircase.'We also know from those records that in 1625 there was a second crypt and these are the ones we have found.'Present on the dig is Natalia Gucciardini Strozzi, who is related to Lisa Gherardini and who is also a close friend of Prince Charles and former Prime Minister Tony Blair.Speaking after the skull was discovered, she said: 'It was so emotional being here - I didn't think I would get so emotional. I am certain that this is the final resting place of Lisa Gherardini.It is not the first time that Professor Vinceti has used such techniques in his work - last year similar methods were used to locate andidentify the remains of Caravaggio, another Renaissance master.Last year in a Dan Brown-style mystery professor Vincenti also claimed that a hidden message could be seen in the eyes of the Mona Lisa after examining them with a high powered magnifying glass.The Mona Lisa is an oil on panel painting owned by the French government and the image is so widely recognised and caricatured that it is considered the most famous painting in the world.Da Vinci started to paint it in 1503 or 1504 and finished it in 1519, shortly before his death, and after he had moved to France.

The origin of the name The Residents (1969)

“In 1969, as they were driving to Sycamore Street in San Francisco where they had decided to live, The Residents’ truck broke down in the city of San Mateo. They got friendly with the English guitarist Snakefinger, who introduced them to their future mentor N. Sanada. Senada quickly exerted a strong influenceon the group, especially through the development of ‘The Theory Of Obscurity’. This theory can be sum- med up as one idea from which all the others flow: the one that artists do their best work in the shade, without the influence of any audience. ” Pacôme Thiellement

In 1971, The Residents performed on open mic night at a club called «The Boarding House». They performed alongside Phillip «Snakefinger» Lithman, Bavarain Experimentalist N. Senada, and night club singer Peggy Honeydew. The full show was released 20 years later on the UWEB compilation «Daydream B-Liver». The shots are rushes from ‘It’s A Man’s Worls’, from the album George & James Brown (1984).

Ralph Records was the Residents’ original record label, originally founded to release Santa Dog. The


Street, which had a completely open ground floor- just perfect, it seemed, for a sound stage. The Residents felt that film would be the ideal medium for the ideas which had been knocking around in their heads and jumped in with both feet. They were made of cardboard and the space limitations meant that each set had to be completely dismantled before the next one could be built. This, of course, affected the filming schedule and sometimes even the developing plot. By 1976, The Residents had fourteen hours of video filmed and were not even two-thirds of the way through what they had of the incomplete script.Finally, shortly after they released The Third Reich ‘N’ Roll, The Residents abandoned Vileness Fats. Not ones to let even failed projectsgo to waste, they proceeded to tease the outside world with stills from the film, incorporating the mysterious film that never was into their mythology.

At the start of their career, The Residents wanted to create a completely different faceless image or disguise for each new project. As the time drew near for the release of Eskimo, an album that they had worked on for four years, they felt that the band’s image had to be something special- as much unlike the punk fashion of 1979 as the album’s music. From the band’s perspective, the primary message of Eskimo was reflection, presenting humanity to itself as seen through a funhouse mirror. Finally, after much thought, the image they chose for this twisted mirror was not just an eyeball


but one wearing a top hat, a formal touche to the fashionable trash aesthetic of that era.

This was an unusual project for The Residents. The stage show itself did not involve the group as performers. The band hired the leader of the Czech band Uz Jsme Doma («We’re Finally Home») to direct the orchestra while seven actors, singers, and dancers performed on stage under the direction of The Residents.

The Residents’ album covers, promotional photos and other visual media. Initially created by the group for the release of 1972’s SantaDog, Porno Graphics has existed as the domain of graphic artist Homer Flynn for the past several decades.

•Gov. Obi (Middle), conducting the Minister of Aviation, Princess Stella Oduah (left) and the Minister of Environment, Hadiza Ibrahim Mailafia (right) during the tour of flooded local government areas in Anambra State in a helicopter.

A presidential delegation led by the Minister of Environment, Hadiza Ibrahim Mailafa, visited Anambra State on Thursday and declared it the worst hit by the floods that have ravaged 14 states in the country lately.

Accompanied by the the Minister of Aviation, Princess Stella Oduah; the Minister of State for Works, Ambassador Bashir Yuguda; and theDirector of the National Emergency Management Agency, Mohammad Sani Sidi, Mailafia observed that the state is located at the lowest point of the River Niger and that must have occasioned the enormous destruction


wrought by the flood.

The team commended Governor Obi for his efforts at assisting the victims.

The Minister of Aviation, whose house alongside those of the former minister, Prince John Emeka; former Deputy Governor of Anambra State, Prince Chinedu Emeka; the Speaker of Anambra State House of Assembly, Hon. Princess Chinwe Nwebili and the Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Oselloka Obaze, among others, were under water, said the situation was clearly beyond human comprehension.

He thanked the governor for his relentless efforts to offer assistance and support to the affected communities and assured that the Federal Government would come to the aid of the state.

She said that while in other communities houses and farmlands were destroyed, in Anambra State, multi-billion naira industries, including the three industries the President commissioned whenhe visited the state on August 30 and Orient Petroleum facility and office, were under water.

Conducting them round the flooded areas, some of which they visited in a helicopter, Governor Obi, who had to cancel all his engagements, including his trip to Mexico because of the natural disaster, said four local government areas, namely Anambra West, Ayamelum, Anambra East and Ogbaru, were completely submerged while four others, Awka North, Ihiala, Onitsha North and Onitsha South, suffered various degrees of destruction.

On Thursday, the President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, held a meeting with the governors of the affected states on measures to assist and reduce the suffering of the people.

Speaking at the meeting, Governor Obi thanked the President for his care and concern and for setting up a presidential team to


Leo

Nightmares (Dream Makers Music)

If an emo band makes a record nearly devoid of histrionic screams and endless shredding, is it still emo? That's the riddle at the heart of Leo's Nightmares. The quartet certainly fits the profile of the oft-maligned genre: The album's back photo finds the band wearing tight jeans, sporting jet-black hair and looking slightly brooding. And certainly the instrumental "Intro" sets the mood, with its simple, heavy guitar chords and a thudding bass line. (Aside: Why rock bands need intros to their albums is a mystery in itself.) But Leo shifts gears with "Na Na," which begins with the chugging riffs of stoner rock before turning into something approaching revved-up shoegaze. Lead singer Ian Eddy has enough of a vocal range to sing low-key versesA new Jerusalem highway road has opened in the occupied West Bank, drawing labels of it as an apartheid road.

Route 4370, a 2-mile stretch, divides Palestinian cars on the west side from Jewish settlers cars on the east Side by an eight-meter high wall in the middle topped with fencing, according to Israeli newspaper Haaretz .

This road has been greeted by Israelis, who also see it as a “gift” for Palestinians.

Though it is hard to swallow for Palestinians, who calls it an "Apartheid Road," reported Al-Jazeera.

Source: Haaretz.

The West Bank has many segregated roads, but it’s the first time that one of them is divided along its entire length by a wall.

“It is a grotesque symbol of Israel’s policy of segregation in the West Bank,” according to a Haaretz


editorial.

“The construction of the new road was intended to shorten and optimise travel times for Palestinian residents of Judea and Samaria [biblical name for the West Bank]," the Israeli Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) spokesperson said in a Facebook video.

Road 4370 is the first operational section of an eastern ring road around Jerusalem.

On the western side of the road, Palestinians cannot enter Jerusalem (only with an Israeli military-issued permit), whereas the road’s eastern side is linking settlements north of Jerusalem to the capital.

The road is part of a bigger Israeli project to link the eastern outskirts of Jerusalem, a controversial area known as E-1 or Greater Jerusalem.

Around 140,000 Palestinians living in East Jerusalem towns and villages would be displaced due to the annexation of E-1,desired and put in place by Israeli authorities.

A decade ago, the late Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon had already conceived this highway, but international pressure delayed construction for years, reminded the New York Post.

“Access to the capital has been revolutionized,” Yisrael Gantz, head of the Binyamin Regional Council, said during the opening ceremony of the road.

Gantz called the road no less than an oxygen line for the region’s residents, who work, study and go out for entertainment in the city.

Transportation Minister, Yisrael Katzthe believes this road is “an example of the ability to create a common life between Israelis and Palestinians while addressing security concerns,” related Haaretz.

Al Jazeera reported that Palestinians from the village of Anata said part of the highway is built on their private land.

For Ahmed


At 88-years of age, Clint Eastwood has another major box office success on his hands. As of this weekend, The Mule, which Eastwood both stars in and directs, has cleared an incredible $81 million.

Outside of Eastwood’s unprecedented staying power as a major star, director, and composer, what makes this success so surprising is that his little movie was released without much fanfare or advanced publicity. Many believe this was due to the studio’s fears about some of the movie’s content.

The Mule (you can read my review here) is based on the true story of 90-year-old Leo Sharp, who worked for a decade as a drug mule for a Mexican drug cartel. Eastwood does not shy away from presenting people, including his own character, as they really are, andthose mandates could exceed the annual threshold established in UMRA for private-sector mandates ($150 million in 2013, adjusted annually for inflation), depending on the extent of regulations that might be implemented by the Department of Agriculture. Specifically:

The bill would impose mandates on dairy handlers that purchase milk from dairy producers participating in the Dairy Market Stabilization Program (DMSP). Under the DMSP, certain handlers would be required to report information to the Department of Agriculture under some circumstances. According to information from industry sources, the cost for handlers to collect and report information under the DMSP could amount to $100 million or more annually, depending on regulations to be issued by the department.
The bill would require imports of olive oil to meet the same standards as olive oil produced

Starting all 16 games for Miami last season, Quinn recorded 38 tackles with 6.5 sacks. Quinn, a two-time Pro Bowl selection in his time with the St. Louis / Los Angeles Rams, joined Miami last offseason as part of a trade from the Rams, with Miami sending Los Angeles a fourth-round pick and the two teams swapping sixth-round selections. Quinn was the 14th overall draft pick in 2011 by the Rams.Vasilis Vasilas' Book on Estonian Journey

In a packed St John Lutheran Church Hall in North Strathfield yesterday, the Estonian Archives in Australia launched Vasilis Vasilas' new book, 'Across Lands and Oceans...to Freedom'.

The new book looks at the epic journey of the Estonian people who fled their homeland (1944), were displaced in Germany and Sweden for several years, journeyed to Australia and New Zealand and their first couple of years in their adopted homelands.

Above: The speakers of the Launch pose together- the Consul General of the Republic of Estonia, Katrin Kanarik, Pastor Meelis Rosma, Vasilis Vasilas and Dr Terry Kass.

After the audience, was welcomed by Pastor Meelis Rosma, the Master of Ceremonies, Dr Terry Kass opened the formalities with reference to September 22 as being an important day for


both Estonian and Greek history, as it was the day the last Estonian convoy left Tallinn harbour before the capital fell to the Red Army (1944) and it was the day the great fire of Smyrna was finally extinguished (1922). Dr Kass also pointed out how common themes and events were shared by both Estonia and Greece- both countries were occupied by empires over long periods of time, civil wars, people fleeing their homelands and migration.

Launching the book was the new Consul General of the Republic of Estonia, Katrin Kanarik, who placed great emphasis on the importance of documenting people's stories and passing them onto the next generations and thanked the author for taking the initiative in documenting so many Estonian people's stories and compiling such an importantbook. Having been the Estonian Consul General to Greece for three years, she also expressed her love for Greece and Greeks, and believed the new book brought two European countries, such as Estonia and Greece, closer together.

Above: Members of the Greek community from the island of Lesvos were present: former President of the Mytilenain Brotherhood of Sydney, Stavros Kritkos, Vasilis Vasilas, Irodotos and Mat Hatzifotis, Vicky Kritikos, Eleftheria and Themis Hatzinikolaou, and President of the Antissian Association of NSW, John Loukadellis.

The author explained how growing up in a multicultural country such as Australia provided oportunities for different people to write about other ethnicities and cultures, and that the epic Estonian journey from their homeand to Australia and New Zealand, via Germany and Sweden, was also a universal experience
