A man arrested on suspicion of murdering a 14-year-old schoolgirl more than 50 years ago has been bailed.

Elsie Frost was was stabbed to death in a tunnel beneath a railway line in Wakefield on 9 October 1965.

A 78-year-old man - understood to be called Peter Pickering - was arrested in Berkshire on Tuesday but has now been bailed.

The investigation into the teenager's death was re-opened last year after a series of reports on BBC Radio 4

Det Supt Nick Wallen, of West Yorkshire Police, said the manhad been bailed pending further inquiries, adding: "Our investigations into Elsie's murder remain very much ongoing."

Elise was attacked as she walked home from her school's sailing club, close to the River Calder and the Calder and Hebble Canal.

Her body was discovered at the foot of the "ABC" railway service steps by a dog walker.

The latest arrest is only the second since the killing. The first was in 1966 when a 33-year-old man was charged with her murder. The case was thrown out in court after a judge instructed the jury to find him not guilty.

Reacting to the arrest earlier this week, Elsie's younger brother, Colin said: "As a

Architecture, the merger of art and science, has the potential to change the way we live. Sustainable buildings such as the Media Tic in Barcelona show us how to minimize energy consumption in style. Vertical Gardens, as Christian discovered in Paris are not just a beautiful way to bring green back into the cities, but also a core element of saving energy for heating and air conditioning. Architecture can also work in harmony with nature as Brad Pitts Make It Right Foundation in hurricane stricken New Orleans proved. As much as the Green Revolution will be led by scientists who find innovative ways to use technology to protect nature, there is also a cultural revolution emerging at the


grass roots level in many places we visited. Artists and designers, musicians and filmmakers we discovered on our journey around the world are also paving the way. From Parisian Mathilde Roussel-Giraudy to H.A. Schult and Chinese photographer Wang Jiuliang to designers like Pedro Costa and Luis Valenzuela and performance artist Andy Keller in Seattle – they all have one thing in common – to raise awareness about the environment and show creative ways to live in harmony with nature.

As we learned on our journey around the world – there is no area excluded from applying sustainable solutions to our every day lives. From the sustainable brewery in Portland that also serves organic food, to the smart car sharing program in Austin Texas, from entrepreneurs like Beth Ferguson andher Sol Design Lab that serves as a charging station for electric bicycles, cell phones, and laptops to Nick and Billy Smith who invented the sporting sail for skateboarders to The China Environmental Protection Foundation in Shanghai promoting reusable chopsticks, there is no place or profession where the principle of sustainability cannot be applied. Surely one of the most unusual examples to show just this is the Neptune Memorial Reef in Florida, a unique and sustainable way to go out in style off the coast of Miami, as the world's first underwater cemetery.

For film recommendations I would suggest anything from Satoshi Kon in the years you've been away from anime - Millennium Actress especially. Sword of the Stranger is a recentish samurai film worth checking out. Also Berserk is being re-made as a series of film trilogies in Japan, with the first trilogy having been released across this year in Japanese theatres. The first of those: Berserk: Golden Age I - Egg of the Supreme King is out on Blu-ray in Japan already and should hit US then UK shores by the end of the year. If you've never seen the original series then the films are well worth checking out (based on the quality of the


it's a real shame that he died so young as he was so talented, and from what I've read a really nice guy.

Eden of the East is great fun, with the shortish TV series, wrapped up in two films.

A slightly "out there" suggestion, and certainly not one for all tastes, but I loved the Aria series. It's basically a very tranquil slice of life series about trainee gonderlero's (Undines) on a terraformed Mars. It's about the most relaxing anime I've ever seen, and great to unwind whilst watching (and also a good one to show that anime doesn't have to be about scantily clad girls, and violence).
Unfortunately it's not available in the UK AFAIK, and is only available on R1 DVD (sub only if that matters).

You never saidfor old school, sex and violence. A lot of anime made nowadays caters for the cutesy moe trope, so you may want to shift your expectations accordingly...

That said, while the era of Ninja Scroll and Urotsukidoji was intense, there's something to be said for the quality of storytelling now, especially in longer series.

But if you do want old school...

Try Gyo: Tokyo Fish Attack, out this week. It's a b-movie horror which is absolutely nutty. Fish grow legs, come out of the ocean and attack mankind. It's got the first threesome I've seen in mainstrea anime. It's directed by Satoshi Kon's protege, and the quality of the animation is excellent.

Mardock Scramble: The First Compression. More sex and violence in a somewhat more cerebral story, the first in three movies,

The book covers both conventional and advanced public health issues with equal vigor and enthusiasm. The author has arbitrarily categorized all the reviews into ten units. Fundamental questions asked by new entrants to the aforementioned disciplines are given in unit 1 of the book, aptly named as, "The Basics." Important issues of public health/preventive and social medicine such as "Essential Medicines", "International Health Regulations", as well as "Poverty and Health" which are usually not covered in conventional text books, find a place in this book. Newer topics like "Genetically Modified Foods and Health" and "The Air Ticket Levy" are placed appropriately in the book. The flagship program of the


Government of India, the "National Rural Health Mission" is covered in detail. The unit on "Social Medicine" covers a mixed group of topics staring from "Qualitative Research Methods" to management issues like "Medical Audit and Social Marketing." The chapter on "District Level Household Survey 2002--04" is arbitrarily placed in the "Social Medicine" unit, while "National Family Health Survey-III" is placed within the "Health" unit. The chapter on "Health Economics: The basics" covers little less than the basics, which need elaboration. Certain chapters like "Health Economics," "Small Pox," "Health Sector Reforms," "Design Effect," "Social Audit and Untied Fund," and "Indian Public Health Standards" do not have any bibliography which might put the reader at some disadvantage.

Overall, the book has a good layout and makes good reading. The book hasa good index spreading over 12 pages. Considering the nature of the contents, the book requires periodic revision. The size of the book stands between that of a pocket book and a standard textbook. Priced modestly, the book can be an additional resource material for students of community medicine, public health, and the social sciences.


run concurrently. In three issues, appellant challenges the legal

sufficiency of the evidence to support the manslaughter conviction and the trial court’s refusal to

grant a mistrial. We affirm.

       At the time of his death, fifty-year-old Stephen Cummins had been living with his parents

in McKinney. Stephen had struggled with drug addiction for decades and, while he had spent

many years drug free, had relapsed and was using methamphetamine. In October 2011, his
parents went to an out-of-state conference, and Stephen was to take care of their dog and the

house. When they returned home three days later, Stephen was dead from a methamphetamine

overdose; their van was missing; jewelry, silver, and electronics were gone; and their house and

remaining possessions had been damaged in a fire.

   door was open and Stephen was on his

knees at the end of the bed, bent over, naked, with his head on top of his arms. Smith thought it

                                               –2–
was “kind of weird” but said she had heard of people taking off their clothes after “doing a

bump” because they were hot. Appellant also saw Stephen and asked her, “Did you see that?”

        After about thirty to forty-five minutes, appellant went to check on Stephen. Smith

could hear


because the van

doors were left open overnight and the battery was dead. Smith said they pushed the van and

Watkins’s car down the street, and appellant knocked on doors of the nearby homes until he

found someone to jump-start Watkins’s car. Once the car started, they jump-started the van and

headed back to Dallas. They did not call the police.

       Smith and appellant sold some of the property they took from the Cummins home at

pawn shops and to acquaintances. They continued to drive the Cummins’s van until their arrest

about two weeks later. After her arrest, Smith gave the police a voluntary statement. At the time

of trial, she had pleaded guilty to burglary of a habitation but had not been sentenced.

     they

starting getting calls and texts from appellant. They did not answer because they were just down

the street. When they pulled into the garage, Smith and appellant ran outside and told them

Stephen was dead. Rodriguez said she ran into Stephen’s room and found him naked, on his

knees, with his arms out and his face on the bed. She checked for a pulse but could not find one

and noticed Stephen was “turning gray” and was “real cold.” Rodriguez said appellant told her

he gave Stephen “his shot,” and Stephen was fine. Appellant said he left the room, and when he


at his door needing help getting his car started. The neighbor

jump-started the car and then saw the man jump-start a maroon-colored van. The neighbor said

the man had two younger people with him.

       Another neighbor testified he saw smoke and flames at the Cummins’s house at about 6

a.m. and called 911. The fire department responded with four engines but had to call for more.

During a search of the house, firemen found Stephen’s naked body partially slumped over a bed,

draped in a robe. The medical examiner said Stephen’s body was not burned and there was no

evidence of smoke inhalation.        She determined Stephen died of the toxic effects of

methamphetamine.

       Detective Paul Hardinof the McKinney Police Department led the investigation. When

he arrived at the scene, he learned a body was found in the house and a maroon van was missing.

Syringes, a spoon, and a belt were found near the body, indicating drug involvement. About two

weeks later, through investigation, he was able to locate the missing van outside a motel in

Dallas. He put the motel room under surveillance. When a man and woman drove off in the

van, the police made a stop and identified the occupants as appellant and Smith. Some of the

Cummins’s property was found in the motel room.

“knock him out for a few minutes.” Appellant told Hunt they found Steve naked in the “praying

position” on the side of the bed. He had Smith check his pulse. After they realized Steve was

dead, appellant said they decided to “[t]ake everything.” He also told her that he and Smith put

candles on some sheets and lit the house on fire. When they tried to leave, the van would not

start, so they pushed itdown the street because the “fire truck was coming already.” Hunt did

not know how they eventually started the van, but she said it “was running when they came to

my house in it.” Appellant stayed at her apartment for several hours that night. The next day, he

picked her up and took her to the motel where he and Smith were staying. She saw silver and

computers in the room.

       Hunt later learned from news reports what had happened and that “Steve” was Steve

Cummins, an acquaintance. After her arrest on unrelated drug charges in January 2012, Hunt

contacted Detective Hardin, repeated the story appellant told to her, and said she had some of the

property at her apartment. She agreed that a “60 bump” was “a lot.”


or settle, there's no such thing as a cheap class-action suit.

The Gamble

If you had placed bets on the outcomes of the trials, Apollo would have been a clear favorite to win. Phoenix, the home of Apollo's corporate headquarters and its trial, is known as a business-friendly jurisdiction. Lead attorney Wayne W. Smith, a partner with Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, felt sure that the jury was impartial and intelligent, based on pretrial interviews. The issue seemed fairly simple to explain, there were no charges of insider trading to defend, and the company had the analyst who broke the news of the DoE report lined up in a videotaped deposition to explain why her downgrade wasn't linked to that assessment.

JDS Uniphase, on the other hand, had the deck stacked againstmatter," says Adam Savett, head of securities class-action services for RiskMetrics.

What did matter? JDS Uniphase lead attorney Jordan Eth, a partner at Morrison & Foerster LP, credits his win to the credibility of his defendants. "They came across as they were: hardworking veteran execs, one of whom was a co-founder, who had spent their careers building up companies."

The company's basic defense was that none of the executives foresaw the collapse of the telecom industry that brought down JDS's stock starting in late 2000, and therefore did nothing improper by not warning shareholders (or by selling their own stock). Muller's turn on the stand allowed him to show appropriate passion for his former company — he "loved" his job at JDS Uniphase — and drop a mention of an


altruistic retirement pursuit, helping low-income youth go to college. He also had a chance to turn on the charm, poking fun at himself as the "company worrier."

As to the insider trades, the defense highlighted that Muller's sales represented less than 20 percent of his total holdings, and that he'd had a practice of selling in the same month in previous years. "The fact that people kept to their previous practices is what you'd actually expect, rather than being suspicious," says Eth. No doubt the jury was also sympathetic to the reasons that Muller stated for selling: he wanted to diversify his holdings, since more than 90 percent of his net worth at the time was in JDS Uniphase stock, and plan for his impending retirement, since JDS didn'tWright’s bold decision to show Russian society as a giant endless theatre, where people obediently perform the parts allocated to them, materialises the tempest of emotions and thoughts that the book evokes in its readers rather than the simple plot of the novel.

The cast of the film is impeccable. Turning life into a theatrical performance and a story of families in which “everything was in confusion” into a universal problem, Wright sees no need to look for typically “Russian” characters and, for this reason, appears closer to Russian reality than his predecessors did.

The theatrical expressiveness of Keira Knightley (Anna), Jude Law (Karenin), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Vronsky) and Domhnall Gleeson (Levin), however conventional the decor, is fascinatingly natural and unique, setting a new standard. As such, it easily surpasses all


of the Anna Karenina adaptations I know.

This superlative Anna Karenina hit UK cinemas back in September, but it will not be released in Russia until January 2013. Such a long quarantine for a film made in the West is unusual in Russia: Moscow premieres often precede the premieres in New York and London.

The reason for this delay, I imagine, has to do with serious qualms on the part of the film’s Russian distributors: will a movie with such a modest name attract viewers? The distributors are probably hoping that after the Christmas holiday the young multiplex crowd will become curious; they’ll want to see the film mainly because it stars Keira Knightley. As far as these kids are concerned, Keira Knightley is more popular in Russia thanAnna Karenina.

Russian film producer Sergei Solovyov made two film adaptations of Anna Karenina, one for cinema and the other for TV. Despite a star cast, including Oleg Yankovsky (Karenin) and Aleksandr Abdulov (Oblonsky), neither adaptation ever made it to the screen.

Solovyov's Anna Karenina took 10 years to produce, and was the first Russian film to fall victim to the economic crisis of the Nineties. Then, the producers were counting on the novel’s popularity for its success, but there were endless delays due to funding shortages. The director, who was accustomed to state financing, had to master the new profession of asking for money from “new Russians”.

“A man promised me money – then didn’t give it. So the picture was again held up,” Solovyov explained to me during filming.

people living in poverty, with less than five years of schooling,
living in substandard housing, lacking plumbing, and with more people

Appellant-defendant was tried to a jury in the district court and found guilty of conspiracy to commit an offense against, or to defraud the United States1 and of receipt and concealment of merchandise brought into the United States contrary to law2 and was sentenced to imprisonment under each of three counts of the indictment, said sentences to run concurrently.3

2
The determinant facts, as established by the jury's verdict, are simple and are based upon evidence undisputed except as the testimony given at the trial may have varied from statements of the witnesses extracted from the Government's files.  On the


night of April 30, 1958, two German seamen, Von Kehler and Fabian, were apprehended by the United States Customs Officials on the Mandeville Street Docks in New Orleans, La., loading suitcases containing Scotch Whisky into a taxicab.  It was developed without dispute that the whisky contained no Louisiana tax stamps, that the federal tax had not been paid, and that the whisky had been brought from a ship into this country contrary to the laws and regulations governing the importation of merchandise, with the intention of selling the same to one of the night spots on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.

3
The officers seized the whisky, taking it to the Customs Building, and arrested the two seamen and took them to the same place for interrogation.  Theywere questioned at length there and subsequently taken to the parish prison.  The questioning continued during the following day.  The seamen were disposed at first to deny that the whisky was destined for any particular club, but Von Kehler finally admitted that a definite agreement had been made with appellant that the whisky would be delivered to him at the Moulin Rouge.  The officers then agreed with the two seamen that Custom Agent Hunton would accompany Von Kehler and that the whisky would be delivered to the Moulin Rouge on the night of May 1st.

4
Shortly after midnight of May 1st, Von Kehler and Hunton took the whisky by taxicab to the Moulin Rouge.  The two entered the night club and proceeded to where appellant


was standing behind the bar.  Von Kehler introduced Hunton as his companion, a German seaman who could not speak English, and explained to appellant in Hunton's presence that the delay in making delivery of the whisky was occasioned by the difficulties they had encountered in getting the whisky from the ship to the docks.  During the course of this conversation Von Kehler brought out that the whisky was that which had been stolen from the ship and that it bore no Louisiana tax stamps.  Nevertheless Badon agreed to purchase the whisky and directed that Von Kehler and Hunton bring it through a public portion of the club, through a door behind the bar into a secreted back room.

5
Von Kehler and Hunton proceeded to the taxicaband brought in the four suitcases containing the whisky and, pursuant to directions, took it into the back room where Badon was waiting.  At his direction the door to the room was kept closed, as he did not want the girls or other employees to see what was going on.  By appellant's direction, the whisky was removed from the suitcases and placed, some on a table and some on the floor of the back room.  Badon was proceeding to another portion of the night club to get the manager to come and agree with Von Kehler what he would pay for the whisky when other government agents stationed in the night club arrested him before the actual sale was consummated.

6
The first error argued by the


contraband brought into this country contrary to law.  The jury had before it competent evidence tending to establish: that an agreement was reached, April 30th between Badon and Von Kehler under which Badon contracted to receive with the view of purchasing over 100 bottles of this whisky; that Badon recognized Von Kehler when he and Agent Hunton arrived at the Moulin Rouge with the whisky; that he was advised that difficulty had been encountered in bringing the whisky ashore; that he directed that the whisky be taken to a back room of the club and the door closed to prevent the female employees from viewing the transaction; that appellant was told at the time of delivery that the whisky had been stolen and that it bore noon direct examination in the trial of the case.
'(b) After a witness called by the United States, has testified on direct examination, the court shall, on motion of the defendant, order the United States to produce any statement (as hereinafter defined) of the witness in the possession of the United States which relates to the subject matter as to which the witness has testified.  If the entire contents of any such statement relate to the subject matter of the testimony of the witness, the court shall order it to be delivered directly to the defendant for his examination and use.
'(c) If the United States claims that any statements ordered to be produced under this section contains matter which does not relate to the subject matter of the


testimony of the witness, the court shall order the United States to deliver such statement for the inspection of the court in camera.  Upon such delivery the court shall excise the portions of such statement which do not relate to the subject matter of the testimony of the witness.  With such material excised, the court shall then direct delivery of such statement to the defendant for his use.  If, pursuant to such procedure, any portion of such statement is withheld from the defendant and the defendant objects to such withholding, and the trial is continued to an adjudication of the guilt of the defendant, the entire text of such statement shall be preserved by the United States and, in the event the defendant appeals, shallTurkish troops killed in PKK attack

At least 12 Kurdish fighters also killed in clashes in Hakkari province, army says.

"Reinforcements were sent to the region and throughout the night support was provided to the conflict zone by attack helicopters and artillery," the army said in a statement.

"Separately, the air force struck targets identified in the northern region of Iraq."

PKK confirmation

The PKK confirmed that they had staged a deadly attack on Turkish troops.

"The military operation took place this morning in the Shemdinyan [Semdinli in Turkish] area, in Hakkari province, and Turkish warplanes have started to attack the Khwakorek district inside Iraqi territory," Ahmed Denis, a PKK spokesman, told the AFP news agency.

There has been an increase in confrontations between the PKK and the military in the


mainly Kurdish southeast in recent weeks.

Turkish troops carried out on Wednesday their first ground incursion into northern Iraq in more than two years, penetrating two kilometres into the Dohuk province.

The PKK has called off a year-old unilateral ceasefire and has resumed attacks on Turkish forces.

It announced it was increasing attacks on June 1, a day after Abdullah Ocalan, the group's imprisoned chief, said in a statement that his calls for dialogue with Turkey had been ignored and that he was giving his consent to the PKK in northern Iraq to determine which course of action to take.

More than 40,000 people have been killed since the PKK launched its armed campaign against the Turkish state in 1984 in the country's southeast.New Qatar Airways flight connects Miami, Middle East

Globetrotters in Miami are finding the world a little easier to explore these days.

When its inaugural flight from Doha lands Tuesday afternoon, Qatar Airways will become the latest airline to bring new international service to Miami International Airport, following new routes since April from Oranjestad, Aruba; Santa Cruz, Bolivia; Brussels; and Madrid.

Qatar Airways, a five-star airline as rated by industry research firm Skytrax, will offer the first nonstop flights to the Middle East since El Al Israel Airlines discontinued its Tel Aviv-Miami route in 2008, and the first-ever service to a Gulf Arab state. The airline flies to more than 140 destinations, with a network that stretches deep into China, India, Africa and Europe.

The new service between Miami and Doha is one of 29 new routes and 21 new airlines added serving the Americas and Europe since 2010, which includes service to Helsinki on Finnair that starts in December. The international additions made MIA the United States’ second-busiest airport for international travelers last year, after New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport.

According to Airports Council International, a nonprofit association of airports, MIA jumped two spots to become the the 10th-busiest U.S. airport for passenger traffic in 2013. It serves 150 destinations and averages more than 850 daily passenger flights.

An employee at a Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet in Mill Valley was arrested for allegedly selling a substance not included in Col. Sanders' 11 secret herbs and spices.

After a customer complained of receiving two bags of marijuana instead of extra biscuits, Marin County sheriff's deputies set up a sting that led to the arrest of a KFC employee on Friday.

Carlos Leonel Ayala, 26, of Vallejo was arrested on his way to work Friday at the KFC at 515 Miller Ave., according to the Marin County Sheriff's Department. He had a loaded handgun, a small amount of marijuana and $500 in cash in his possession, deputies said.

Authorities also searched Ayala's home in Vallejo and the fast-food restaurant but would not reveal whether


they found anything illegal. Employees at the Miller Avenue KFC declined comment Saturday.

At the KFC outlet where he worked, drive-up customers would order food by talking into a intercom. Then an employee, often Ayala, would take the order to the customer's car and receive payment.

"We believe that he was selling marijuana to customers who used the right slang term" as code, said Sheriff's Sgt. Tim Lepinski of the Marin County Major Crimes Task Force.

The investigation was prompted after an unwitting customer asked for extra biscuits with an order of fried chicken and was handed two baggies of marijuana instead, the sergeant said. The outraged customer, whose name was not released, returned the drugs to the employee, renewed his demand for extra biscuits and called Mill Valley police, whosee participation by Rafael and Israel Aircraft Industries in partnership with DRDO and state-owned Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL).

“The proposed missile defense program will be a network of air defense systems and radars from India and Israel,” a Rafael executive said at Defexpo, which runs from Thursday to Sunday.

The executive added that additional missile systems, both short range and medium range, will be tailor-made for use by India.

the individual defendants and a joint venture agreement between Mesa and Diamond T. The district court entered judgment in favor of Mesa, and Coniglio and Locke appeal.  We affirm.

2
Coniglio, Locke and William Hallauer1 are the sole and equal shareholders of Diamond T, a Florida Corporation.  Mesa, a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware, has its principal place of business in Amarillo, Texas.  On June 6, 1972, Mesa and Diamond T entered into a joint venture agreement which provided that Diamond T would acquire and graze cattle in Florida and then send them to Texas for fattening and sale by Mesa.  The expenses of the venture were to be shared equally, with Mesa advancing most of the necessary operating capital.  By July of1973, the expenses of the joint venture had increased to the extent that further direct advances by Mesa became impracticable.  Hence, the joint venture agreement was amended on July 31, 1973 to authorize Mesa to obtain bank financing to generate additional funds for the operation of the joint venture.

3
In accordance with this amendment, a loan agreement and a promissory note payable to the First National Bank of Amarillo and other banks (hereinafter referred to as "the Bank") were signed by Mesa and Diamond T as debtors, and Coniglio, Locke and Hallauer as individual guarantors.  The loan agreement provided for a $3.5 million line of credit, to be secured by cattle and receivables at 75% of the current market value of the cattle.  Mesa was required


to furnish regular certificates of compliance assuring the Bank of the value of the collateral.

4
During the year 1974, there was a serious decline in the cattle market and the venture began to lose money.  The market value of the cattle owned by the joint venture fell, causing the Bank's security interest to become approximately $1 million out of compliance.  The Bank, which had the right to accelerate the loan, demanded that this situation be remedied.

5
In July of 1974, a meeting was held in Dallas, Texas between Coniglio, as representative of Diamond T, Ronald Bassett, Comptroller of Mesa Agro (a division of Mesa Petroleum Company), and a Mesa attorney.  Although conflicting testimony was presented at trial, the district court accepted Bassett's version of the Dallas meeting.which basically alleged a cause of action in the nature of libel and slander.  Demand for jury trial was made only with respect to the two counts contained in the counterclaims.  Mesa filed a motion to dismiss the counterclaims on September 18, 1975.

20
In an order dated February 26, 1976, the district court dismissed the complaint, reserving a decision on Mesa's motion to dismiss the counterclaims.  Mesa filed an amended complaint on March 26, 1976.  The appellants answered, again failing to demand a jury trial.  The counterclaims were dismissed without prejudice on April 15, 1977.  Thus, at this juncture, aside from the two counts for libel and slander asserted in the counterclaims, the appellants had served no timely demand for jury trial as

The New York Mets have held trade discussions with at least two teams about right-hander Matt Harvey, multiple sources confirmed to Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News.

"They are willing to move him," one source said. "They said they wanted to try and flip him for a reliever. They seemed more willing to move him than (Robert) Gsellman or (Seth) Lugo."

The club is said to be willing to move on from Harvey if that means improving in several areas of need, including second base, first base, either corner outfield spot, and the back end of the bullpen. The Mets have been linked to Pittsburgh Pirates utility infielder Josh Harrison as well as second baseman Starlin Castro,


who was recently traded from the New York Yankees to the Miami Marlins as part of the Giancarlo Stanton deal.

After emerging as one of the best starters in baseball from 2012 to 2015, Harvey has regressed in large part due to a variety of health issues and inconsistency. His 2016 season was cut short due to thoracic outlet syndrome - a condition that affects the lower neck and armpit.

He returned this season but in May, was suspended by the team for three games for violating team rules. He later underwent shoulder surgery in June and missed approximately two months of action. He would finish 2017 with a career-worst 6.70 ERA and 21 home runs allowed across 18 starts.

This was not your father's or brother's Team USA. Heck, it was not even our generation's Dream Team. Despite the lack of major stars like LeBron James and Kobe Bryant, among others, Team USA showed the world it can win without its best at the 2010 World Championships.

The floor general of that gold medal winning team was Derrick Rose, who continued to take the next step in his maturation process in the NBA.

This was the first long look at Rose in a world spotlight, and he had his moments in the brightest of lights, and some glaring spots. Here are some things to remember about D-Rose that we may not have known, or known as well


before.

Derrick Rose Is A Streaker...From Behind The Arc

Nick Laham/Getty Images

It has been reported and seen that Derrick Rose has developed an outside shot to compliment his slash and crash game.

Just like a magician, Rose seemed to appear and then disappear with his outside shot, including a dud of a game against Lithuania. Coach Mike Krzyzewski ended up benching Rose for the entire 4th quarter f that game, which was consistently heated.

Fortunately for Chicago's own, Rose has time to still hit the gym and keep working on his aerial attack.

He Is A Student

Chauncey Billups played the tough minutes that Rose played himself out of as the tourney wore on. Billups, clearly more seasoned, displayed a calm demeanor that added to the games of team superstar Kevin Durant,and Eric Gordon, who was arguably the second best shooter for Team USA during the tournament.

Rose continues to be a student of the game, and has worked with Billups during his time with him. During televised practices and team scrimmages, it was obvious that Rose took notes during match-ups, and started to show some better vision, much like Billups is known for, when his outside game did not cause havoc in his head.

Billups was added to the roster for a reason, and it should help Rose going forward.

He Can Turn It On At Any Moment

Nick Laham/Getty Images

Against Turkey, Team USA knew they were in for a battle against the host country. For much of the game, it appeared it would be close, as the house was filled with


Turks.

Team USA had a different thought: taking home the gold. Kevin Durant was the clear leader and main threat, but after the U.S. started pulling away in the third, Derrick Rose and Lamar Odom helped put the preverbeal dagger in Turkey's heart. Rose's two hit a couple of shots, and was complemented by Odom as his low post presence for their time together on the court in the fourth.

After not being a huge factor for most of the game, and end of the previous win over Lithuania, D-Rose put in his two cents, which could be heard hitting the hardwood after the crowd was silenced by USA's 22-point lead.

He Is Almost There...

Nick Laham/Getty Images

Being selected to Team USA's roster is an honor, even with some of the bigpoint guards deciding to stay at home. Their loss was USA's gain, as the world got to see what the Chicago Bulls have now, and more than likely the next decade-plus.

He is not Deron Williams, Chris Paul, or Canada's Steve Nash, but he is knocking on the door to the elite guard party. His maturity, speed, raw talent, and skill have vaulted him into the conversation as one of the best in a shade under two years of pro experience. Getting the chance to play and learn with some of the league's best can only help his progress.

Look for a little of this experience positively impact his game when he and the Chicago Bulls hit the court in six weeks.

Stepper motors are typically used as motors for precise positioning control in OA apparatuses and industrial apparatuses.
A stepper motor includes a stator and a rotor. The rotor is rotatably supported on the inner side of the stator. In a hybrid-type stepper motor, windings are wound around magnetic pole teeth of the stator, and a permanent magnet is arranged in the rotor.
In a stepper motor, current flows through the windings. This generates a rotating magnetic field, and rotates the rotor by a predetermined step angle. With a stepper motor, the step angle of rotation is determined by the number of poles of the stator and the rotor.
In a stepper motor, normally, windings are wound aroundIsle of Wight Sheriff Charles Phelps said Harris is believed armed with a shotgun and a semiautomatic handgun.

Phelps said Harris allegedly broke his wife's cheekbone during a fight at their home or during the abduction. The children, ages 13 and 20, were not injured.

Shirley Harris and the children were abducted about 5 a.m. from her parents' home in the Central Hill area after her husband forced his way into the house, Phelps said.

About two hours later, Harris arrived at his sister's home in James City with his wife and the children. Harris left by himself after his sister called their father in Isle of Wight and told him where Shirley Harris and the children were.

"He made a statement that he was going to New York. He has an


ex-wife in New York," said Phelps. "Nobody knows where she is, and he doesn't know where she is. We really don't believe he's left at this point."

Law enforcement authorities along the East Coast have been alerted that Harris is at large and may be armed. Warrants have been issued charging him with breaking and entering with the intent to commit abduction, and other charges are expected.

Harris is described as black, 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing 200 pounds. He was wearing blue jeans and was driving a 1986 Burgundy Chevrolet Celebrity with temporary tag number W710401.

Shirley Harris was treated and released from Williamsburg Community Hospital Tuesday morning.

She had been to Louise Obici Memorial Hospital in Suffolk, after a fight with her husband Monday night or early Tuesday, Phelpssaid. Although she was told by hospital personnel that a sheriff's deputy was on the way, Harris left before the officer arrived and went to her mother's home in the Central Hill area, Phelps said.


patient growth is complete.

In distraction osteogenesis, the position and orientation of the osteotomy line and the direction of activation have important effects on the final results, so careful evaluation and planning is essential before distraction surgery. Since the main difference between the right and the left sides of the mandible was the vertical length of the ramus and anteroposterior skeletal discrepancy was not noticeable, the osteotomy was performed at the upper level of mandibular foramen on the ramus parallel to the occlusal plane in order to increase the vertical height of the ramus. The extraoral distraction device was placed perpendicular to the osteotomy line.

The vertical height of the ramus that showed a significant difference between the right and left sides before treatment was improved through distraction osteogenesis. However,patient was severely underdeveloped, and after distraction, the posterior occlusion was opened about 10 mm vertically at the right first molar. In patients with HFM, orthodontic extrusion of the posterior teeth using a functional appliance has been generally applied after distraction osteogenesis, and in this case, functional and orthodontic appliances were used for this purpose. After the extrusion and settling of right posterior teeth, the occlusion was stabilized and the canting of the upper dentition was also improved. To evaluate the result of posterior teeth extrusion, we measured the distance from the mandibular first molar to the mandibular inferior border in panoramic radiographs. The 7.5-mm difference between right and left sides at the initial stage was improved by the orthodontic extrusion and occlusal settlement of the distraction side.

Robin van Persie's current Manchester United contract will end when he is 33

Robin van Persie has admitted he may end his career at Manchester United.

The 29-year-old Holland striker says the fact United have a track record in valuing older players such as Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes may persuade him to see out his playing days at Old Trafford too.

Van Persie told Dutch magazine Voetbal International: "For the next few years I will be at Manchester United - and maybe longer. United could be my last club."

The former Arsenal striker's current United contract will end when he is 33 but with 39-year-old Giggs and Scholes, 38, for inspiration, the striker may be tempted to extend his time at the club.

In the interview, van Persie also paid tribute to United boss Sir Alex Ferguson and the training preparations at the club, and he added: "The coach is one of the friendliest people I have ever come across in my life. Of course Ferguson has another side, when he is in the game mode. Then he is a warrior just like us, the players on the field.

"(Holland manager) Louis Van Gaal is the same. People base their opinions on what they see on TV ofA year after Switzerland voted "against mass immigration", the EU is asking for a new referendum on the subject if the country wants to resume normal relations.

In an interview with Swiss newspaper La Liberte, EU diplomat Maciej Popowski said that a new referendum is "inevitable, probably at the end of 2016".

Student or retired? Then this plan is for you.

Switzerland must "change logic", said Popowski, who is deputy secretary general of the EU diplomatic service and in charge of negotiations with the confederation.

"Rather than thinking about what they could still get, it might be useful that the Swiss see the enormous advantages they have by participating in the internal market, which they take for granted," he added.

In February 2014, Swiss voters backed a popular initiative "against mass immigration" presented


by the populist Swiss People’s Party.

As a result, the Swiss government presented legislation to introduce immigration quotas in 2017, including for cross-border workers.

The confederation also wants to renegotiate its 2004 freedom of movement pact with the EU, under which it became a member of the EU's passport-free Schengen Area in 2008.

The EU has ruled out changes, however. Last December, it "reconfirm[ed] the negative reply in July 2014 to the Swiss request to renegotiate the agreement".

The EU "considers that the free movement of persons is a fundamental pillar of EU policy and that the internal market and its four freedoms are indivisible," EU ministers said in a statement in December 2014.

(CNN) For many Latinos, 2016 was supposed to be the year they'd see one of their own on the presidential ballot. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio did their best on the Republican side and for a while Hilary Clinton kept their hopes high until she picked Tim Kaine to be her running mate.

"I'm disappointed she didn't pick a Latino," says Arturo Vargas, executive director of the non-partisan National Association of Elected and Appointed Latino Officials, NALEO, which represents more than 6,200 members.

He argues that many well-qualified Latinos have been passed over for the VP spot even after they were interviewed for the job.

Report: Red Sox sign Sweeney to minor-league deal

The Boston Red Sox provided two pieces of news on Friday as they reportedly signed outfielder Ryan Sweeney to a minor-league deal after it was reported that infielder Ryan Kalish will have shoulder surgery.

Sweeney, who turns 28 next month, also received an invitation to spring training, according to the report by WEEI.com.

He hit .260 with no homers in 63 games for Boston last season. He suffered a left-hand injury in July from punching a door at Fenway Park and it required season-ending surgery.

Meanwhile, Kalish will have right shoulder surgery next week, MLB.com reported.

Søren Warming

Senior Scientist, Molecular Biology

I came to Genentech in 2006 after completing a postdoctoral fellowship in mouse cancer genetics and genome engineering in the joint laboratory of Drs. Neal Copeland and Nancy Jenkins at the National Cancer Institute, Frederick, Maryland.

Trained in classic and molecular mouse genetics, I was attracted to Genentech by the opportunity to be able to apply genetic tools and genetically engineered murine models to facilitate drug discovery.

Genentech is an exciting and very collaborative place, striking that perfect balance between basic scientific discovery and drug development.

Postdoctoral Mentor

The postdoctoral program at Genentech provides a unique and exciting training opportunity where the postdoc can take advantage of a wide range of in-house resources, expertise and core facilities. Specifically, a postdoc in my laboratory can take advantage of in-houseevidence that they say will help further prove his innocence. Last month, during the eighth annual World Day Against the Death Penalty forum in Philly, investigative reporter Linn Washington shared video footage of himself conducting forensic tests demonstrating the amount of damage done to a similar slab of sidewalk as the one that Dan Faulkner was shot on, on the morning of December 9, 1981.

Washington displayed the marks made by similar grade bullets fired from the exact caliber gun at about the same distance that it is assumed that Faulkner was shot from. This was very important information because prosecutors claim that while the cop lay wounded on the ground after being shot in the back, Mumia stood over him and fired four rounds, executioner-style, yet only struck


him once. Therefore, the three other bullets would've considerably marked up the underlying concrete.

This, along with the failure by police to produce the gunpowder residue results, which are always administered to suspects who are arrested at or near the scene in murder cases, also brings into question the mishandling of their investigation, whether intentionally or not.

Washington laid out the possibility of another man, Ken Freeman, who was a passenger in Mumia's brother's car when the journalist arrived at the scene, where his brother was being beaten by Faulkner. According to reports, the trajectory of the bullet that killed Faulkner suggests that it was fired from the proximity of the passenger side, where Freeman sat.

Freeman was mysteriously murdered on May 13, 1985, the same day Philadelphia police firebombed theMOVE Organization's home on Ossage Avenue. He was found dead in a parking lot, handcuffed and naked with a hypodermic needle stuck in him.

Michael Schiffman, author of "Race Against Death, Mumia Abu-Jamal: A Black Revolutionary in White America," stated, "If Freeman was indeed killed by cops, the killing was probably part of a general vendetta of the Philadelphia cops against their 'enemies' and the cops killed him because they knew or suspected he had something to do with the killing of Faulkner. The cops saw the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone."

"His eyes were watery," Fountain, from Long Beach, California, said. "He was practically purplish, reddish, so he was suffering, and he was continuing tapping on the security guard's arm, telling him 'I've had enough, I am submitting.'"

Alejandro Rea has not seen the video, since he has been held in a Los Angeles jail since his August 7 arrest. His court date is August 24, and he hasn't been able to pay his $56,000 bond.

Instead of a misdemeanor shoplifting charge, he faces felony second-degree robbery. His alleged violent resistance to the security guard and his prior arrest record apparently played a role in the more serious charge, the lawyer said.

Rea was convicted twicecold start mode where the system is started from a fully-reset state and a warm start mode where the system is started from a subscriber line holding state. According to the American National Standards Institude (ANSI) standards, the training period for the cold start mode is prescribed to be within 15 s and the training period for the warm start mode is prescribed within 300 ms.

Arasu Cable TV Corporation Ltd (ACTCL) has proposed to take over the existing control rooms of private operators to provide cable TV services in 11 districts in Tamil Nadu. The state government has said 94 per cent of the cable operators have already registered with the Corporation.

According to an IT department note, the corporation was formed by the state government with a view to provide high quality cable TV services at a reasonable cost to the general public through the local cable operators (LCO).

Four digital head-ends at Thanjavur, Coimbatore, Tirunelveli and Vellore and one analog head end at Mundiampakkam village in Villupuram district have been established. Subsequently, the corporation became defunct completely.

The government has appointed a chairman and managing director for the corporation to oversee the revival andalready established at Thanjavur, Tirunelveli, Coimbatore and Vellore are being revived and new analog headends are being installed in 16 districts.

The Br atom is the dominant oxidizer in mercury depletion events in the polar atmosphere^[@CR7]^. Reactive bromine from the decomposition of bromocarbons also contributes to the depletion of ozone in the lower stratosphere^[@CR8]^. The interplay between the oceanic sources of bromocarbons and their atmospheric impacts has led to the suggestion that these compounds are a link between climate change and atmospheric ozone^[@CR9]^.

Recently, it has been shown that variability in polar tropospheric bromine oxide (BrO) levels is correlated with first year sea ice concentrations, through the production of halogens in sea ice regions^[@CR10]^. Reactive bromine is anti-correlated with ozone, which suggests that the efficiency of halogen-driven polar tropospheric ozoneice lattice could increase the production, and contribute to the high concentrations of bromocarbons found at the snow/ice interface. Hence, although little is known about how bromocarbons form under darkness; our results provide a strong case, for the first time, that first year Antarctic sea ice has extremely high bromocarbon concentrations at a period with no sunlight.

Next, the magnitude of the release of individual bromocarbons from the ice surface to the atmosphere was calculated based on the assumption that the bromocarbons were formed on the surface of sea ice and subsequently diffused through the snow to the atmosphere. The interstitial air concentrations were calculated from the concentrations found in melted snow, the fraction of water and air, respectively, and the Henry\'s law constants (Methods).

Then one day I pulled it out and he was in heaven!

He would get frustrated because it wouldnt move and I couldn't push him around. So he climbed off, on, off, on all day long. After he left last month, Mark took it all apart and restored it. Here's the finished product!

Only one-way traffic to continue on Kashmir highway

April 3:The 300-km-long Srinagar-Jammu national highway was through for one-way only while the highway, linking the Ladakh region with Kashmir valley remained closed since December last year. The historic Mughal road, connecting Shopian in south Kashmir with Rajouri and Poonch in Jammu region and road from Bandipora to border town of Gurez also remained closed.
Despite intermittent rains the national highway, linking the Kashmir valley with the rest of the country was through for traffic with some restrictions. Only one-way traffic will continue on the highway keeping in view the condition of road stretch between Batote and Banihal where width of the road formation has shrunk due to continuous sliding, sinking of road.
Today traffic will ply from Srinagar to Jammu today, atraffic police official said adding large number of empty trucks and vehicles carrying passengers left different parts of the Kashmir valley for Jammu.
He said no vehicle will be allowed to move from Jammu to Srinagar today. Snow clearance operation was going on war footing on the historic Mughal road, which is seen as alternative to Srinagar-Jammu national highway.
The road is likely to reopen on April if there is no fresh major snowfall. He said that Ladakh region also remained cut off from Kashmir valley since December last year though the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), responsible for the maintainance of this strategically important highway, has put into service sophisticated machine and men to clear the snow.
There was fresh snowfall on the highway which is likely to reopen on April


SF Calls On Govts To Deliver On 'Rights' Issue

Sinn Fein's Northern leader Michelle O'Neill has called on the UK and Irish governments to deliver on the "rights" issue before talks resume to form power-sharing in NI.

Mrs O'Neill met with Secretary of State on Monday, however she said he did not produce any firm proposals to move the process forward.

She said: "I want to lead Sinn Féin back into a new Executive but the issues of rights and outstanding agreements must be addressed.

"In the absence of agreement, the onus remains on the two Governments to spell out how they intend to ensure the implementation of previous agreements, end the DUP's denial of rights and pave a pathway to restore the institutions."

Sanjiv Bhatt: Photo Courtesy, The Hindu

In another vindictive action on those who implicated then Chief Minister of Gujarat and present Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi in the Gujarat Pogrom of 2002, suspended IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt was sacked on Wednesday on the ground of "unauthorised absence" from service. Sanjiv Bhat said in a Facebook post that the sacking is after a "sham inquiry" on "completely fabricated charges".

Bhatt said the ground of his sacking-- unauthorised absence from duty -- pertains to the period when he was deposing before the Supreme Court appointed Special Investigation Team (SIT) and the Nanavati Commission inquiring into the Gujarat riots.

Sanjiv Bhatt had alleged in an affidavit in the Supreme Court


that Narendra Modi, then the chief minister, instructed the top police officers to allow the Hindus "to vent out their anger" after the train-burning incident at Godhra in February 2002.

Bhatt had claimed that he had attended a meeting in this regard on February 27, 2002 at Modi's residence in Gandhinagar.

Well known film maker Rakesh Sharma supported Sanjiv Bhat in a Facebook Post:

"Sanjiv Bhatt Bhatt's sacking is a part of the pattern, not surprising at all. The Gujarat government has systematically targetted any non-pliant police officer, who refused to aid and abet in the massive coverup that followed the Gujarat carnage of 2002. Rahul Sharma, the officer who produced the cellphone call records that led to the conviction of Modi's cabinet minister Maya Kodnani, was systematically persecuted. 33 departmentalenquiries and 6 showcause notices later, he sought voluntary retirement. Satish Varma and Rajnish Rai, the officers who investigated the fake encounter cases that led to the arrest of the state Home Minister (and current BJP President) Amit Shah for his role in these extrajudicial killings were transferred to a remote northeastern part of India (Shillong), a couple of thousand kms away. Now Sanjiv Bhatt has been 'rewarded' for discharging his constitutionally-mandated duties as an officer enforcing and upholding the rule of law. As the deputy head of the state intelligence apparatus, he has been privy to information and reports that could implicate the political ringmasters of the 2002 massacres. It was inevitable that the government would target him, attempt to destroy his credibility and thus limit any

    Mendoza-Sanchez came to the United States at the age of
18, in 1983, and became a lawful permanent resident. But
somewhere along the line he became a cocaine dealer, and
some of the cocaine that he sold he’d obtained from mem-
bers of the La Linea cartel, which is known to be violent and
to work with corrupt Mexican police officers. In 2010 he was
convicted in an Indiana court of dealing in cocaine and sen-
tenced to 12 years in prison. A fellow prisoner who was a
member of La Linea—a man whom Mendoza-Sanchez knew
as “Pelon”—attacked him when he wasstanding in line at
the prison cafeteria, broke two of his teeth, and explained to
him that several members of the cartel, who had been arrest-
ed, believed that he had snitched on them. As he testified at
the immigration hearing, “I was facing a lot more time than
what I actually got and this gave them another reason to be-
lieve that I snitched on them to get less time.” For though
sentenced to 12 years, he had been released after only 5.
    Pelon told him that the cartel would have him killed if he
returned to Mexico, and that it knew where in the country
he had grown up (the city of Matamoros) and presumably
would want to return to. At his immigration hearing, Men-
doza-Sanchez presented evidence that La Linea is “not con-

Sun Hives are a hive design coming out of Germany and now gathering interest in Britain. They’re part of the world-wide movement towards ‘apicentric’ beekeeping – beekeeping that prioritizes honeybees firstly as pollinators, with honey production being a secondary goal.

The Sun Hive is modeled in part on the traditional European skep hive, and is aimed at creating a hive that maximises colony health. The main thing I love about this hive and the enthusiasm surrounding it is not the hive itself, but the philosophy behind it, that of apicentric beekeeping.

In brief, the Sun Hive has an upside down skep hive at its base with curving frames in the top section and no frames in the bottom section. The hive is placed well above ground level (optimal for beesMan blows up own house after trying to blow up inflatable mattress

By: Debbie Gross
A man, who was trying to blow up an inflatable mattress, blew up his own house instead, according to fire officials in Germany.

Fire officials said that the man caused 150,000 euro in damages after blowing up the inflatable mattress inside his rented home. The man was new in town, he had no furniture, and now he has no windows or doors.

The 41-year-old, who has not been identified, had moved to the city of Diepholz in Lower Saxony and bought the self inflatable air mattress.

However, the mattress was damaged, so he used an industrial puncture repair spray in order to try to fix it. The chemical did not go well with the mattress’ electric pump, causing

TIM MILLER WINTER 2010 NEWSLETTER & TOUR SCHEDULE

TIM MILLER WINTER 2010 NEWSLETTER & TOUR SCHEDULE

Hi All

I am buzzing with the first weeks of nonstop travel, performing, teaching for 2010! I have already had great adventures at USC, Univ of Texas, Vortex Theater in Austin and a residency at Cal State University Channel Islands! I had a FANTASTIC time in Austin! Great piece on LAY OF THE LAND in Austin's daily paper, The American Statesman.

The first months of touring my new show LAY OF THE LAND have gone great! (First stops on the tour so far l- L.A., Tallahassee, Cleveland Ingenuity Festival, Boston Center for the Arts, S.F. Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Chicago Victory Gardens Theater and Alaska's Out


ballot measure, is currently under review by the California Supreme Court, an automatic edge accompanies the giddy timeliness of "Lay of the Land," which ends its Highways run on Saturday. Gay performance artist Tim Miller's latest foray into purposeful self-examination is in some ways his most important work to date.Miller's technique hasn't essentially changed, just ripened like wine. He still investigates the audience close-up from the outset, invading the aisles with a flashlight. His delivery remains a fusion of half-closed eyes, mercurial inward focus and outwardly pointed insouciance. The rambling commentary, peppered with interjections that trade gloss for spontaneity, enters territory as exhilarating as it is meaningful.What particularly distinguishes "Land" is the tautly impressive text. The story of Abraham and Isaac forms one point of identification, choking ongristle and a near-tracheotomy by his father another, as Miller lays out his unapologetically renegade viewpoint with exemplary economy and sardonic humor. Marriage equality is the thematic undercurrent against which reminiscences of various activist and performance landmarks coalesce into something larger than the sum of their considerable parts.Stagecraft is minimal -- a microphone, projections of the 48 continental states, delicious childhood pictures, and a clothesline. This comes into indelible play at the climax, where the U.S. and California state flags provide fodder for Miller's most audaciously effective observations. The resulting tableau and final apotheosis stand high in Miller's canon, which, together with the overarching relevance, makes "Lay of the Land" a vivid, must-see achievement.-- David C. Nichols

I am mega excited about my new performance I am working on


Usand 1001 Beds was tapped for a new mentoring program in Chicago.Miller, 50, hails from Los Angeles, where he lives with his partner of nearly 15 years, writer Alistair McCartney. Miller’s one-man shows are emotional, abrasive, pointed and often political examinations of the queer experience conveyed through his words and (sometimes naked) body. They’re so provocative that, in 1990, Miller became one of several artists famously referred to as the “NEA Four” when the National Endowment for the Arts yanked their funding. His tours have included frequent lectures on the university circuit as well as extended workshops in which he both trains intensively and performs with fellow artists.Last year, at a gathering in New Orleans for the National Performance Network, a think-tank funding agency for performance artists, Millerto fulfill a commission from KTCA TV in Minneapolis. The tasteful, yet naughty, homoerotics of the film freaked the PBS station out and it was never shown. But the memory and heat of a beautiful May in Minneapolis lives on.

Hope you all have had a good summer! I have been swimming in the Pacific Ocean as much as possible to prepare body and soul for my crazy Fall Tour! This summer I started a fantastic ongoing residency in Chicago at Links Hall as part of a National Performance Network Communty Grant! More on this great project below.

ALISTAIR'S BOOK COVER! OUT IN 2008!

ALISTAIR McCARTNEY - THE END OF THE WORLD BOOK

Alistair McCartney is the author of THE END OF THE WORLD BOOK to be published in April 2008 by University of Wisconson Press. This is no ordinary novel. An encyclopedia of memory—from A to Z—The End of the World Book deftly intertwines fiction, memoir, and cultural history. Born in Perth, Western Australia, in 1971, his writing has appeared or is forthcoming in Fence, Bloom, James White Review, and other literary journals, as well as in a number of fiction and creative nonfiction anthologies, including Wonderlands: GoodGay Travel Writing (University of Wisconsin Press) and Between Men (Carroll and Graf.) He lives in Los Angeles with his partner Tim Miller and teaches creative writing and literature in the BA Program at Antioch University Los Angeles and Antioch Santa Barbara.

The End of the World BookA Novel byAlistair McCartney

This is no ordinary novel. An encyclopedia of memory—from A to Z—The End of the World Book deftly intertwines fiction, memoir, and cultural history, reimagining the story of the world and one man’s life as they both hurtle toward a frightening future. Alistair McCartney’s alphabetical guide to the apocalypse layers images like a prose poem, building from Aristotle to da Vinci, hip-hop to lederhosen, plagues to zippers, while barreling from antiquity to the present.

In this profound book about mortality,


and wise beyond its author’s years. Crossing sporadic bursts of linear narrative with a detailed taxonomy of altercation, McCartney has engineered a compelling compendium of integrated distractions, somewhat in the manner of Robert Burton’s Anatomy of Melancholy. Read it from A to Z. He knows who you are: you will be quizzed.”—James McCourt, author of Mawrdew Czgowchwz and Queer Street
