Take a look at the charity work of the four princes Philip, Charles, William and Harry. Through the business of their charities, they are transforming the British Royal Family into a modern global brand. But how did it all come about? And what motivates them? The Royal Family's approach to charity work changed in 1981 when Prince Charles married Lady Diana. We see how she became famous for her charitable causes before her untimely death and how her sons are continuing her legacy. The four royal charity entrepreneurs raise millions of pounds and help millions of people and in so doing, ensure the survival of the British Monarchy.

Released in 1969, Joni Mitchell's second album leaves her voice at center stage, accompanied on early gems like "Both Sides Now" and "Chelsea Morning" by little more than acoustic guitar. "The Gallery," which starts the B-side, is a lesser-known gem of Mitchell's, as is the sultry "I Don't Know Where I Stand." The record won the Grammy for Best Folk LP in 1969.The BC SPCA is investigating videos circulating online that appear to show a group of teenagers blowing thick smoke from bongs into a small kitten’s face.

In one video shared on the social media app Snapchat, a teenager can be seen lighting a bong, presumably with marijuana in it, and inhaling while another young person holds up a kitten in front of them. The teenager then exhales smoke directly into the animal’s face as it squirms and holds its paw up to shield itself. The word “stoney” appears in a caption on the video.

Another Snapchat clip shows a young female inhaling from a bong while what appears to be the same kitten sits in her shirt with its face poking out of the neckline. As she exhales, a thick


Rear Admiral Matsuda Chiaki (Japanese: 松田千秋) (29 September 1896 – 6 November 1995) was an admiral in the Imperial Japanese Navy and the third captain of the Yamato who became the last Japanese veteran of World War I.

Contents

Early life and career

Matsuda was born in Kamoto, now part of the city of Yamaga. He entered the Imperial Japanese Naval Academy in September 1913. He was graduated as a midshipman, placing 14th out of 95 students, on 11 December 1916 while on a training cruise aboard the cruiser Tokiwa. The cruise began at Sasebo and took him to the ports of Osaka, Shimizu, Maizuru, Incheon, Zhenhai, Dalian, Lushun, Weihaiwei and Qingdao. He returned to Japan on 3 March 1917, resuming his training on 5 April with another cruise in theSouth Seas which took him to Vancouver, San Francisco, Keelung, Hong Kong(San Pedro), Honolulu, Palau, Yap and Angaur. He returned to Japan on 17 August and joined the crew of the Haruna two days later. He was commissioned an ensign on 1 December and joined the battleship Kawachi. After the Kawachi was sunk in a magazine explosion on 12 July 1918, he rejoined the Haruna on 15 August before joining the cruiser Azuma as a supplementary guidance officer on 9 November.

After a cruise in March 1919, taking him to Manila, Hong Kong and Singapore, Matsuda returned to Japan on 20 July. He was promoted to sub-lieutenant on 1 December and assigned to the Navy Torpedo School. He entered the Navy Gunnery School on 31 May 1920 and joined


the cruiser Yūdachi on 1 December. He was appointed squadron strategy officer on the battleship Kongō on 1 December 1921. Promoted to lieutenant the following 1 December, he entered the 22nd graduate-level class at the Navy Gunnery School on the same day, graduating with honours on 29 November 1923 and assigned to the brand-new destroyer Kamikaze as chief gunnery officer. He was assigned as squad leader on the battleship Mutsu on 1 December 1924, and as an instructor at the Navy Gunnery School the following 1 December.

On 1 December 1926, Matsuda joined the 26th class of students at the Naval War College, from which he graduated on 6 November 1928, placing 12th of 22 students in his class. He was promoted to lieutenant-commander on 10 December and assignedto the Bureau of Personnel in the Ministry of the Navy. Studying English at the American Language School, he was posted as an additional military attaché and aide at the U.S. embassy in May 1930. The following May, Matsuda was assigned to the Kiso as gunnery chief and was assigned to the first division of the Naval General Staff on 7 September. Promoted to commander on 15 November 1933, he was appointed to the Imperial Army General Staff on 2 April 1934 as a naval liaison officer, and was assigned to the second division of the Naval General Staff on 15 November.

Wartime career

During this time, Matsuda was involved in developing the basic design of the Yamato-class battleships. In 1935, he was appointed the executive officer of the light


cruiser Abukuma, stationed off China. On 21 November, he was appointed a faculty member at the Naval War College, and was promoted to captain on 1 December. Viewed as among the naval officers sympathetic towards the mutineers in the 26 February Incident, the secret police put his name on a list of officers to be placed under surveillance in the wake of the failed coup.

On 25 August 1938, he was given command of the seaplane carrier Kamui, and rose to the rank of a section chief at the Naval General Staff headquarters by 1940. After travels to Europe and North America in 1940, Matsuda became a staff member at the Institute for Total War on 1 October. He was given command of the target ship Settsu on 1September 1941, developing a manual to prevent air attacks during his time as captain. He was critical of Admiral Yamamoto's attack on Pearl Harbor that December, believing it to have been ultimately unsuccessful.

On 20 February 1942, Matsuda was given command of the battleship Hyūga, and was given command of the Yamato on 17 December. He was promoted to rear admiral on 1 May 1943 and relinquished his command on 7 September, following his appointment as a senior staff officer at Imperial Headquarters, with the role of chief staff officer of the first division of the Naval General Staff. He was appointed squadron commander of naval aviation on 1 May 1944.

Operation Kita

In November, Matsuda commanded the Fourth Carrier Division, comprising the Hyūga and the battleship Ise, and sailed them


to Singapore to reinforce the remaining naval elements in the Southwest Pacific. In early February, the two ships and their escorts received orders to return to Japan with much-needed supplies of oil, fuel and minerals. Despite American foreknowledge of the mission and several attempts to sink the ships with submarine and air attacks, all the vessels in the force returned to Japan with their valuable cargoes. This was one of the last Japanese victories of the war; subsequent efforts to transport supplies to Japan met with failure.

Postwar

In March 1945, Matsuda was appointed commander of the Yokosuka Naval Air Corps, a position he held at the time of Japan's surrender. Following the surrender, he entered the reserves on 1 November. He was interrogated by U.S. Navy officers, who foundhim a "cooperative and agreeable witness, and his testimony was considered generally accurate, although there was perhaps some effort at self justification in the account of the movements of Ise and Hyuga on the night of 24–25 October." Matsuda was critical about the effectiveness of Ise and Hyuga as converted carriers, and also criticised Imperial Navy policy of sending all front-line pilots into combat until all were killed; it would have been better if they had been rotated and some sent to train novice pilots.

After the war, he made a new career as a businessman, coming up with over a hundred patents for various inventions.

Matsuda died on 6 November 1995, aged 99; at his death, he was the last survivor of Imperial Japanese Naval Academy, one of the


* In the 2006 census, 44.3 million people of the U.S. population were of Hispanic heritage; 34 million people, 12.2 per cent, of the population older than 5 years speak Spanish at home. In the U.S., Spanish has a long history in the United States (many southern states were part of Mexico and Spain) and it recently has been revitalized by much immigration from Latin America. Spanish is the most widely taught foreign language in the country. Although the U.S. has no formally designated “official languages”, Spanish is formally recognized at the state level, beside English; in the U.S. state of New Mexico 30 per cent of the population speak it. Spanish is the dominant spoken language in Puerto Rico. In total, the U.S. has the world’s fifth-largestSpanish-speaking population.** Significant numbers of the populations of these countries speak SpanishSpanish was the original official language of the The Phlippines for more than three centuries, and became the lingua franca of the Philippines in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Spanish was the language of the Philippine Revolution, and the 1899 Malolos Constitution proclaimed it as the official language. However, Spanish was spoken by a total of 60% of the population in the early 1900′s as a first, second or third language. Following the American occupation of the Philippines, its use declined after 1940. Currently, only a few Mestizos of Spanish or Hispanic origin speak it as their first language, although a few others use it together with Filipino and English.

Actor-producer Akshay Kumar, who is busy promoting his forthcoming sports-drama film Gold, says he would like to make a biopic on the life of Indian sprinter Hima Das who became the first Indian athlete to win a gold in a track event at just 18 years of age.

Interacting with media at an event organized by Edelweiss group here on Saturday to support and wish India contingent for Asian Games 2018, Akshay, asked on which Indian sports personality he would like to make a biopic as a producer, said, “I would like to make a biopic on Hima Das because she is a track runner.”

He explained that former Saints forward Pellè, who played for the club from 2014 until 2016, had helped persuade him that the south coast would be a good fit.

Asked what had attracted him to the club, Gabbiadini said: "The great determination that Southampton had to purchase me from day one, and all the things that Graziano Pellè, who was my former teammate in the national team, told me about Southampton.

"I spoke a lot of times with him in the national team and he suggested to me that it was a place to absolutely come and he's happy for me now that I have made this decision.”

“They (India) are saying these boys were village boys trained to be killers. How can this be believed? Village boys don't know anything about a five-star hotel. They would not know how to use the toilet.”

Gul and three other Pakistanis, all said to be former top officers of the ISI, were on a US list for UN sanctions against them for alleged links to terror activities.

Commissioned in the army in 1958 in the Armoured Corps (19 Lancers), Gul was a tank commander at the Chawinda front during the 1965 war. Between 1972 and 1976, he served under Gen Zia as a battalion commander. He was promoted to Brigadier in 1978 and rose to be the commander of the 1st Armoured Division, Multan in 1980. He also conducted theZarb-e-Momin military exercise in November-December 1989 against India.

According to late counter-terrorism expert B Raman, Gul had told Benazir Bhutto when she became PM, “Madam, keeping Punjab destabilized is equivalent to the Pakistan army having an extra division at no cost to the taxpayers.”

After Gul retired, he frequently went on TV to defend the Taliban and Kashmiri militants and blame a Jewish conspiracy for the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States. His tenure at the ISI and his outspoken backing of Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden and other extremists showed murky loyalties at play years later when the US and Pakistan formed an unlikely alliance following 9/11.

Others viewed Gul as an increasingly out-of-touch braggart later in life, as he appeared on countless TV programmes warning of


Höör Municipality

Höör Municipality (Höörs kommun) is a municipality in the central part of Skåne County in southern Sweden. Its seat is located in the town of Höör.

The present municipality was formed in 1969 through the merger of "old" Höör with the municipalities of Norra Frosta, Snogeröd  and Tjörnarp parish from the dissolved Sösdala Municipality.

Localities
There are six localities in the municipality.
Population as of December 31, 2005.

A small part of Löberöd is also within Höör Municipality.

Geography

Höör Municipality credits itself by being different from the rest of Scania: Apart from agricultural areas, Höör Municipality also has several forests and the lake Ringsjön. Ringsjön is the second largest lake in Skåne County and covers some 40 km², about three times the size of the town of Höör.

Unfortunately, with prior art beamsplitters (which those skilled in the art understand also act as beam combiners) the absorption of the window material and the associated coating(s) is sufficient to produce appreciable heating resulting in high temperatures near the middle of the window. This, in turn, causes the index of refraction of the window to change, and also causes the surface of the window to distort. The result is that the wavefronts of both the reflected and transmitted radiation beams are distorted. The degree of wavefront distortion varies depending on the intensity of the radiation beam and how long it is incident on the beamsplitter. However, the degree of wavefront distortion is generally unacceptably large for most high-power laser

Shadow McClaine

Skeletal remains discovered Monday in Tennessee have been identified as belonging to missing Fort Campbell soldier Shadow McClaine, who disappeared in early September.

The remains were discovered off Interstate 24 in Robertson County, Tennessee Monday, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. They were positively identified as belonging to Shadow on Wednesday.

A cause of death has not yet been determined. No other details were available to be released.

The discovery comes several months after two fellow soldiers were charged in connection with Shadow's disappearance.

Williams-McCray is Shadow's ex-husband. It's unclear if Robinson knew Shadow.

The last time anyone heard from Shadow, who is also known as Branice Willis, was through a text message the evening of September 2, 2016. She had told her mother earlier that she was supposed to house sit for a friend. The two also exchanged texts later that night.

Friend and family members became concerned when Shadow stopped responding to calls and texts. The following week, authorities located her 2013 silver Hyundai Elantra in aparking lot in downtown Nashville.

Rumors quickly swirled around Shadow's disappearance, with many focusing on what her family said was a tumultuous relationship with her ex-husband Williams-McCray.

Shadow was facing charges of stalking and contempt of court at the time of her disappearance, according to The Leaf-Chronicle. Her mother told Dateline those charges were in relation to her daughter's divorce from Williams-McCray.

"She's not totally innocent in all this, but it is not all her either," Shadow's mother London Wegrzyn told Dateline in September. "And she's been trying to clean herself from it. The people posting don't have all the facts, and are trying to paint my daughter as a villain."

Shadow's mother told Dateline that before she disappeared, Shadow was looking forward to moving back to home to California.

Gloria Steinem. The film does not glorify her – in fact, I was a bit saddened to glimpse how tender and vulnerable Gloria has been at certain points and in response to certain events. She spoke openly about her struggle with depression several years ago. She spoke several times about things that happened that hurt her deeply, such as when she was accused of being able to do some of her work only because she was an attractive woman. [Of course, a documentary about another equally effective woman of her generation who is not considered “attractive” would reveal how often such women are derided publicly because of their “unattractive” appearance. But I digress!]

I have thought often of the amazing work that Gloria and her contemporaries have accomplished onWarriors coach Andrew McFadden told his players to chance their arm and have a good crack at beating the Cowboys on Saturday night and for the first 15 minutes they did.

NASA and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security are collaborating on a first-of-its-kind portable radar device to detect the heartbeats and breathing patterns of victims trapped in large piles of rubble resulting from a disaster.

The prototype technology, called Finding Individuals for Disaster and Emergency Response (FINDER) can locate individuals buried as deep as 30 feet (about 9 meters) in crushed materials, hidden behind 20 feet (about 6 meters) of solid concrete, and from a distance of 100 feet (about 30 meters) in open spaces.

Developed in conjunction with Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate, FINDER is based on remote-sensing radar technology developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, Calif., to monitor the location of spacecraft JPL manages for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington.

"FINDER is bringing NASAtechnology that explores other planets to the effort to save lives on ours," said Mason Peck, chief technologist for NASA, and principal advisor on technology policy and programs. "This is a prime example of intergovernmental collaboration and expertise that has a direct benefit to the American taxpayer."

The technology was demonstrated to the media Wednesday at the DHS's Virginia Task Force 1 Training Facility in Lorton, Va. Media participated in demonstrations that featured the device locating volunteers hiding under heaps of debris. FINDER also will be tested further by the Federal Emergency Management Agency this year and next.

"The ultimate goal of FINDER is to help emergency responders efficiently rescue victims of disasters," said John Price, program manager for the First Responders Group in Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate

A proposed city budget submitted to members of the city council for review is a public document, according to the Kentucky attorney general. Members of the public and the media are entitled to review the document under the Kentucky Open Records Act before it is voted on by the city council. The ruling handed down May 20 reverses rulings of the office from 1996 and 2000.

The dispute began when Heather Rous, a University of Kentucky journalism student who has since graduated, and UK journalism professor Al Cross submitted on April 13 a request to the mayor of Midway for a copy of his proposed budget, which he had submitted to members of the Finance and City Property Committee of the Midway City Council. Students inCross' advanced reporting class cover the Midway City Council and post stories on the Midway Messenger blog at http://midwayky.blogspot.com/.

Mayor Tom Bozarth declined the request, saying the budget was a preliminary document and therefore exempt from public disclosure. Kentucky Citizens for Open Government appealed the denial, and the attorney general's office ruled a proposed budget is not a preliminary document.

"The proposed budget must be made accessible to the public when it is submitted to the City Council pursuant to KRS 91A.030(7) because it constitutes statutorily required final action of a public agency, in this case, the Mayor of the City of Midway. At this juncture, the budget forfeits the preliminary character it enjoyed while it was in preparation and is no longer a draft. The 'need for governmental confidentiality'


ruled that records on a baby who died after drinking drain cleaner should be open to the public.

Judge Philip Shepherd said there is no reason why records on 20-month-old Kayden Daniels, who died May 30 at an alleged methamphetamine lab, should not be released. The baby's father, Bryan Daniels, has been charged with murder and making meth. Both the child and his 14-year-old mother, Alisha Branham, had been placed in the state foster-care program for abused and neglected children.

The records were requested by the Lexington Herald-Leader and The Courier-Journal, but the request was denied by the state Cabinet for Health and Family Services. The newspapers appealed, and the state attorney general's office upheld the cabinet's decision. Both agencies were wrong, the judge said.

Hodge told the state office that the list could be found in the county clerk's office. But Swindler says the clerk has told her that, even though such deputies must be sworn in by a county judge, the clerk was never given any information about anyone being sworn in.

Swindler says the county sheriff's office refuses to talk to anyone from her daily newspaper. The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is investigating the reported theft of guns, drugs and other evidence from the sheriff's office. The newspaper has published several reports on that and other irregularities involving the sheriff's office, including shortfalls in its budget.

Six LO stars lead Oregon Elite girls lacrosse team in Maryland

The Oregon Elite girls lacrosse team, made up of some of the top high school players from around the state, recently returned from a successful trip to Maryland where it garnered a 2-2 record and a fifth place finish against some highly competitive teams.

Three players from Lake Oswego High School and three from Lakeridge High School made the team, turning crosstown rivals into teammates.

For the Lakers, Evan Goldsmith, Amy Schlesinger and Megan Swindells made the team while, for Lakeridge, Kelly Bartz, Allie DeBruhl and Haley Fauvelle received the honor.

The Elite team is selected by an unbiased panel after open try-outs are held in mid-April and the team gets together for a few brief practicesafter the high school state playoffs.

This year the team practiced three times and had a scrimmage against an alumni team as it tried to quickly build chemistry before the tournament.

The team also provides a unique experience for the players who are league rivals during the spring, to become friends.

'I love working with kids from other schools. When the kids know each other those rivalries become more of a challenge for the girls,' said Coach Lauren Anderson, Lake Oswego High School's head coach. This is the sixth Elite team that Anderson has led.

In Maryland, not only did the Oregon squad face some top competition, it took on club teams that had been playing together for years as opposed to just a few short weeks.

The Elite team got off to


a bit of a slow start but that was almost to be expected.

Shortly after getting off the plane and still suffering slightly from jetlag, the team took on a Midwest All-Star team and didn't put together its best game.

The Elite followed that effort with a loss to a very experienced club team from Colorado.

Sitting at 0-2 in pool play, the Elite then took on the host team from Baltimore and finally started to come together.

'Every year I think the parents are a bit surprised at just how well the team comes together,' Anderson said.

With so little time playing together, the team's chemistry improved dramatically with each game and the result was its first victory, which moved the Elite to third place in its pool.

That set up a battlefor fifth place overall with the Long Island Express, which has perennially been a strong club team.

The Elite team got off to a solid start and put together its best game of the tournament as the girls continued to improve almost with each passing minute and pulled away for its second victory.

'It was definitely nice to finish with some momentum and the team really started to gel,' Anderson said.

It was a solid finish for a team from the West Coast where lacrosse is still growing in popularity.

'We're getting there. We don't have the feeding system that they have on the East Coast but we definitely have players who can compete at that level,' Anderson said.

The trip also was an opportunity for the players to be viewed by dozens

In the instant case, the agreements under which Sun Life's and Transamerica's claims for attorneys fees arise provide for collection of attorneys fees incurred in connection with a default and in connection with "any action, legal proceeding or dispute . . . affecting the indebtedness secured hereby."[3]
In the instant case, Debtor's sole asset is a 652-unit complex operating as the Tahoe Club Apartments in Clarkston, DeKalb County, Georgia (hereinafter the "Property"). Debtor purchased the Property from CCRI November 30, 1984. In connection with the purchase, Club gave CCRI a promissory note in the principal amount of $22 million (hereinafter the "Note"). The Note is a wraparound note, which includes three prior first mortgages,[4] the principal balancestransferred the property to Harvie Ewing. Thereafter, the original security deed between Pendergrast and New London was modified to a nonrecourse agreement. Mr. Ewing was a party to that modification. Subsequently, Mr. Ewing transferred the property to his wife. Mrs. Ewing took the property subject to the original security deed, as modified, but did not assume the indebtedness secured by that security deed. Thereafter, upon default, Pendergrast accelerated the debt and foreclosed after sending the requisite statutory notice of intention to seek attorneys fees to New London and to Mr. Ewing. Mrs. Ewing was not sent notice. After the property was sold pursuant to the foreclosure, Mrs. Ewing claimed the $53,000 by which the purchase price exceeded the principal, interest and past due taxes due on the note.


Plan impaired Sun Life and Transamerica only by including a provision requiring written notice to Debtor of a default by CCRI and an opportunity to cure such a default within five days of receipt of such notice. The treatment of American Savings Bank proposed in the Plan included the notice provision contained in the treatment of Sun Life and Transamerica but also included a provision which extended the maturity date of American Savings Bank's note two years, from 1990 to 1992.[10] American Savings Bank, however, evaluated its treatment under the Plan and made its decision to vote in favor of the Plan, apparently without legal assistance, even though it was impaired to a greater degree than either Sun Life or Transamerica.
Given the nature of the wraparound note betweenSun Life Assurance Company of Canada (hereinafter "Sun Life") and Transamerica Life Insurance and Annuity Company (hereinafter "Transamerica") for attorneys fees pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 506(b), was served only on Debtor, Debtor's attorney and the United States Trustee but was not served on Sun Life, Transamerica or any other party in interest. As a result, Sun Life and Transamerica were not served with the Order before time for filing a notice of appeal expired; accordingly, it is hereby
ORDERED that the Order entered October 11, 1989 is amended upon entry of this order. The Bankruptcy Clerk is directed to serve Sun Life, Transamerica, and Consolidated Capital Realty Investors, in addition to Debtor, Debtor's attorney and the United States Trustee, with a copy of this order and the order


Shares of Canadian marijuana producer Tilray gave up a 90 percent one-day surge and turned negative briefly in a wild day of trading on Wednesday.

The stock, which was halted five times by the Nasdaq for volatility, still ended the day up 38 percent, its best day ever as a public company.

Its market cap jumped to nearly $28 billion before the paring the majority of its gains, at one point making it a bigger stock than 59 percent of the stocks in the S&P 500, a sign of just how big the hype has grown for pot-related plays on Wall Street.

It is now at least as large as 45 percent of the stocks that comprise the index. Tilray trading volume hit 30 million shares, tripling the stock's 30-day full-dayaverage of 9.6 million shares. There are only 21 million shares of Tilray available for trading.

Nasdaq confirmed to CNBC the stock was paused according to predetermined rules on volatility. The wild trading continued after the market close with the shares down more than 11 percent after hours.

The gains were driven by bullish comments by CEO Brendan Kennedy, but traders said a so-called short squeeze played a hand in the big gains and wild trading.

Kennedy told CNBC's on Tuesday that the world's largest pharmaceutical companies must start thinking about partnering with cannabis producers as a "hedge" against the space.

Warp picked up on these records and released his debut album 'Smash' on September 19, 2005

This spring, I served as one of two writers for the annual edition of enVision, the magazine of the University of South Florida’s College of Engineering. In all, I wrote 11 stories that were published in the magazine, which is available to students and alumni.

The assignments were a fascinating mix of alumni profiles and features on work currently underway by students and faculty at the Tampa-based college. You can read more about the individual stories or access a PDF of all of them by clicking on this link.There has been a lot of conversation about two big changes announced at Blizzcon. The first: structures no longer have ammo, the “lone towers” near each Fort and Keep have been removed and their power (HP, damage, and I assume experience) redistributed to the adjacent buildings. People who have paid careful attention to the design of Volskaya may have seen that one coming. Also all buildings now have True Sight just like the core. The second: regeneration globes now last four seconds, instead of six, for your team only, after which they become neutral regeneration globes that either team can pick up for four seconds.

At first glance these may not seem like big changes, but they are actually the largest changes the game has gotten since the scaling


His release came one week after he was shot and listed in critical condition after he and other members of the Warrant Apprehension Task Force attempted to arrest Steven Tyrone Jones, 38, in a home in the 5500 block of Forest Park Ave.

FOR THE RECORD - An item in the Baltimore County digest Wednesday gave incorrect information about a man who died in a motorcycle crash. Robert G. Gemmill Sr. lived in the 6900 block of River Drive Road in Edgemere, and he owned an auto repair shop.The Sun regrets the errors.

Jones died after a shootout with police. He had been wanted in a home invasion and robbery in Carroll County, police said.

"The entire Maryland State Police family is thrilled by this great news," Col. Thomas E. "Tim"Hutchins, state police superintendent, said in the agency's announcement of the trooper's release. "It is wonderful to know Eric will be able to enjoy the holidays at home with his family this year."

Reisterstown

Woman, stabbing suspect identified Authorities identified yesterday a woman found fatally stabbed in a Reisterstown home and the man suspected in her killing, who died after being shot by county police.

Jamie Ann Nichols, 43, of the 200 block of Chartley Drive in Reisterstown was found stabbed about 5:30 p.m. Monday in a house in the 100 block of Westminster Road.

About two hours after police discovered Nichols' body, authorities located Russell Carlton Barnes, 43, also of the Westminster Road address, walking south on Ivy Mill Road near Nicodemus Road with a knife.

"The officer told him on


several occasions to drop the knife," said Cpl. Michael Hill, a county police spokesman.

As Barnes charged the officer with the knife in his hand, the officer shot him at least once, Hill said.

Barnes was flown by helicopter to Maryland Shock Trauma Center, where he died, police said.

In addition to the investigation into the stabbing, police are investigating the shooting by the officer.

Joshua Ederheimer, director of the Police Executive Research Forum's Center for Force and Accountability, said that the accepted standard for "deadly range" is 21 feet.

"If someone with an edged weapon is disobeying police orders and are advancing, and they get within 21 feet of a police officer, that officer is in a deadly perilous danger," he said.

Bill Toohey, another police spokesman, could not say how close Barneswas to the officer, saying that detail is part of the investigation.

Barnes and Nichols had a previous relationship, but it is believed that they were not dating at the time of the stabbing, police said, adding that it was unclear yesterday what prompted the stabbing.

The identity of the officer involved in the shooting was not released yesterday.

Traffic accidents

Driver, motorcyclist are killed

Two men died in recent accidents on Baltimore County roads, police said.

A man died yesterday after his truck struck a bridge pillar in the Fullerton area, county police said.

The man was driving a 1998 Chevrolet Silverado on westbound White Marsh Boulevard near Belair Road about 9:30 a.m. when the truck struck the pillar and caught fire, county police said. The identity of the man, who died at


the scene, had not been released.

An Essex man died late Sunday at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, shortly after he lost control of his 2006 Harley-Davidson motorcycle on North Point Road, police said.

Robert G. Gemmill Sr., 55, of the 6900 block of Riverside Road was following two other southbound motorcyclists about 11:10 p.m. in the 4100 block of North Point Road when he failed to negotiate a curve near New Battle Grove Road, said Officer Kevin Doyle.

Doyle said the motorcycle careened down an embankment, crossed a driveway, went up another embankment and crashed into a utility pole.

The inventive approach provides that a code book that is kept general and that, for example, contains HMMs that are employed for several languages be employed as seed model and that, given a modified lexicon, it be adapted to this new lexicon during ongoing operation.
An adaption during operation is especially advantageously achieved in an embodiment of the method wherein an already recognized feature vector of a sound expression leads to a shift of the stored center of gravity vector in the HMM code book in that a shift of the mid-point of the probability distribution of the hidden Markov model in the direction of the recognized feature vector ensues with an adaption factor during operation after recognition of the word or of the sound sequence.

The observations, issued by independent U.N. experts tasked with monitoring compliance with the international treaty on the rights of children in armed conflict (formally known as the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed conflict or "OPAC"), paint a dark picture of the treatment of juveniles by the U.S. military in Afghanistan: one where hundreds of children have been killed in attacks and air strikes by U.S. military forces, and those responsible for the killings have not been held to account even as the number of children killed doubled from 2010 to


2011; where children under 18 languish in detention facilities without access to legal or full humanitarian assistance, or adequate resources to aid in their recovery and reintegration as required under international law. Some children were abused in U.S. detention facilities, and others are faced with the prospect of torture and ill-treatment if they are transferred to Afghan custody.

By ratifying OPAC in 2002, the U.S. committed to guaranteeing basic protections to children in armed conflict zones, and to submit periodic reports on the implementation of its treaty obligations to the U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child. We wrote about the latest U.S. report, released in November, which revealed that over 200 children have been held in U.S. custody in Afghanistan since 2008, some for lengthy periods oftime. During its review of the U.S. on January 16, the Committee posed critical questions about the treatment of children by the U.S. military and issued recommendations to remedy these human rights violations.

These recommendations include taking "concrete and firm precautionary measures [to] prevent indiscriminate use of force" particularly against children, and ensuring all allegations of unlawful use of force are "investigated in a transparent, timely and independent manner" and that "children and families victims of attacks and air strikes do always receive redress and compensation." In regard to the detention of juveniles, the Committee urged the U.S. to ensure that all children under 18 are detained separately from adults and guaranteed access to free and independent legal assistance as well as an independent complaints mechanism. Importantly, considering the


child soldier who was detained by U.S. forces at the age of 15 and was subjected to torture and a systematic program of harsh and highly coercive interrogations at the American prisons at Guantánamo Bay and Bagram.

The U.S. government's human rights obligations do not end with the release of a periodic report or the completion of a treaty body review. In order to give meaning to the words of the children's rights treaty, the U.S. must work diligently to implement the Committee's recommendations and ensure that our military forces, intelligence agents, and other government officials treat children in the war zones of Afghanistan and elsewhere in accordance with international law.

WWE's women wrestlers say Ronda Rousey will shine a light on the women's division.

They've been speaking ahead of Wrestlemania 34 which takes place at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans in the US on Sunday.

The Olympian and former UFC champion signed her contract with World Wrestling Entertainment last month.

She is credited with almost single-handedly building a women's division in UFC.

Image copyright Getty Images Image caption Sasha Banks says Ronda is "very sweet" (has she seen her in the ring?)

"It's crazy, there's just this buzz about it and she helps bring it," says Sasha Banks who was the first woman to headline a WWE pay-per-view event in 2016.

"All eyes are on Ronda Rousey - which we rightfully deserve so it's a cool excitement."

Ronda joined the WWE


after losing her final two matches with the UFC.

She has previously defended the bantamweight title six times to keep hold of it for almost three years.

"I think it's wonderful," Irish wrestler Becky Lynch tells BBC Radio 1Xtra's Ace, "because it brings such a spotlight to the women's division and to the company in general."

She goes on to say that Ronda "understands what this business takes," adding: "that will get you everywhere."

Ronda Rousey will compete in her first WWE match alongside the legendary Kurt Angle.

They'll square off against wrestling team The Authority - Stephanie McMahon and Triple H.

New face of the company Roman Reigns will take on Raw's WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar.

Image copyright Getty Images Image caption Roman Reigns says Ronda will be "just fine" in her firstBOSTON -- Last July, Ryan O'Reilly took a call from St. Louis Blues general manager Doug Armstrong. The Blues were going to acquire O'Reilly in a blockbuster trade with Buffalo.

"I just looked at the roster, and I was so amped up about it," O'Reilly recalled. "I said, 'Let's go win the Cup.'"

O'Reilly made good on his word as the Blues won their first Stanley Cup with a 4-1 victory over the Boston Bruins in Game 7 on Wednesday night. The 28-year-old led the way with a franchise-record 23 playoff points to win the Conn Smythe Trophy for postseason MVP, including the opening goal Wednesday.

He's the first player since Wayne Gretzky in 1985 to score in four consecutive Stanley Cup Final games.

O'Reilly also became the first player since the


New York Rangers' Mark Messier in 1994 to have a six-game points streak in a Stanley Cup Final.

But for O'Reilly, and the Blues, the journey was anything but easy. St. Louis stumbled through the first three months of the season and found itself in last place Jan. 2.

"We knew it was there, we knew we had the pieces," O'Reilly said. "But it was so educational for myself to see how tough it is and how hard we have to work and how even keel you have to be."

O'Reilly, a finalist for the Selke Trophy as the league's best defensive forward and the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy for sportsmanlike and gentlemanly conduct, was just OK for the first 18 games of the playoffs -- scoring three goals and addingeight assists.

He cracked a rib in the second-round series against Dallas. He got bumped in the ribs in the Western Conference finals against San Jose and said the injury affected him on faceoff draws.

But somehow in the Stanley Cup Final, O'Reilly turned it up to a new level, with five goals and four assists in seven games.

"There was a couple tough games," O'Reilly said of his ribs. "But once you kind of get going and the adrenaline takes over, I didn't notice it."

"I don't know what more there is to say about that guy," Blues defenseman Colton Parayko said. "He's meant so much to us ever since he joined the team."

O'Reilly joined Glenn Hall (1967-68) as the only players to win the Conn Smythe after finishing the previous


season with a different team.

Coincidentally, Hall was the only Blues player to win the award before O'Reilly.

The Blues sent three centers and two draft picks, including a 2019 first-rounder, to the Sabres to acquire O'Reilly. At the conclusion of the 2017-18 season in Buffalo, O'Reilly infamously said he "lost the love of the game multiple times" and was frustrated by the Sabres' culture of losing. Buffalo did not make the playoffs in any of his three seasons with the team.

Now, winning with the Blues, he said he was feeling very different emotions. He thought of his parents and "thehours and money they put into" his hockey career.

"I wouldn't be here, I wouldn't be in the NHL having this as a job if it wasn't for them and all this stuff that they put in," O'Reilly said. "I couldn't stop thanking them for putting their lives aside for us, for the kids, and doing whatever we needed to do. ... I can't thank them enough."

O'Reilly was also thinking of his 99-year-old grandmother, who watches him and emails him regularly from Seaforth, Ontario, where he grew up playing hockey. O'Reilly's grandma bought him multiple pairs of skates when he was a kid.

"She's one of my biggest supporters," O'Reilly said before the game. "I'm hoping I could bring the Cup to her."

Shermans Of the United Kingdom: Or, Let’s Confuse People Even More With An Odd Designation Systems!

The British took the Lee and Sherman into combat for the first time and they offered a lot of input into both tanks design. They even had a specific version of the Lee never used by US troops the M3A5 Grant. The Sherman and Lee tanks saved their bacon at El Alamein. As we saw in an earlier section of this document, the US produced a lot of Sherman tanks, and the British received more than 17,000 Shermans. It would become the backbone of their tank force and remain so until the end of the war. The British had a unique way of using tanks and preferred to send them into battle withoutdirect infantry support. This coupled with their tendency to stuff every nook and cranny of the tank with ammo resulting in much higher Sherman losses than the US Army did.

Sherman MK III with the 4th County Of London Yeomanry. It is crossing an AT ditch near Gabes in North Africa

They came up with their own naming system for the tank:

The M4 was named the Sherman I in Commonwealth use, if it had 105mm gun it was an Ib if it also had HVSS it was an Iby. The British received 2096 75mm Sherman Is, and an additional 593 105 armed Ib tanks, or M4 105 tanks. These numbers are not broken down further into submodels, so all the Ic Firefly tanks produced came from 2096 they received, and


this number would include the composite hulls too. This version was the preferred US Army version, and many of the ones the Brits received came as replacements stripped from US Tank Divisions before the battle of El Alamein. They became much rarer because the US sent M4A2 and M4A4s as replacements.

The M4A1 was named the Sherman II and in most cases just that. It wasn’t until late in the war the Brits took some M4A1s with 76mm guns, and those they gave to the poles or other commonwealth allies. An M4A1 76 would be called a Sherman IIa, or an IIay for an M4A1 76 HVSS tank. These M4A1 76 HVSS tanks made it to depots in Europe during or just after the war ended, but none sawAt the scene of the cave rescue in Chiang Rai, Thailand, everyone involved in the operation – from volunteer translators to men who pumped water out of the cave – was overcome with emotion upon learning the last of the 12 boys and their soccer coach had been safely rescued on Tuesday.

Ninety-five per cent of Crimeans voted in favour of joining Russia in a hastily-arranged 2014 referendum.Canada was among the many nations that declared that vote illegitimate, but it was clear that many Crimeans welcomed their return to Russia.

Though since that's happened, all has not been well. Crimea is increasingly isolated internationally, and coping with heavy western sanctions. It has been in a state of emergency since last November, when important powerlines were sabotaged by suspected anti-Russian activists.


Energy shortages are rampant. The economy is in shambles. There are reports of human rights abuses. And the prospects for returning to Ukraine, as some would hope, are vanishing.

Dmitry Porfirov left Crimea late last year and now lives in Lviv, Ukraine. Originally from Simferopol, he was against the annexation in 2014 and didn't vote in the referendum. By the end of last year, he felt his life was just too unstable under Russian rule and left his homeland to provide a better life for his two daughters.

Inside Crimea, ethnic Tatars are one of the groups most fiercely opposed to Russian annexation. Tatars have a troubled history with Russia. The Soviets deported them from Crimea in the 1940s, sending them to central Asia. They only returned in the 1990s.of people aligning themselves with Ukrainian nationalists.They are not supported by the overwhelming majority of the Tatar community who welcome the positive changes that have happened after Crimea reunited with Russia...

With regard to the recent sabotage of powerlines into Crimea, the statement says:

"This provocation failed because Russia managed to provide electricity and other energy and food supplies for the mainland."

Prior to its annexation two years ago, tourism was one Crimea's biggest earners. While there are signs that it could be slowly returning, the region seems destined to remain in this state for some time to come. Sanctions remain in place, even as, last week at the Davos Summit, Ukraine's finance minister said her country would make a

JOSKE'S

JOSKE'S. Joske's, formerly also known as J. Joske, Joske Brothers, and J. Joske and Sons, now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dillard Department Stores, Incorporated, was headquartered in San Antonio and once owned twenty-six retail stores in Texas and one in Phoenix, Arizona. Julius Joske, who immigrated to Texas from Germany in 1867, chose San Antonio as his home because of its access to Texas military installations, Indian areas, and Mexico. The choice was a strategic one; San Antonio was an important marketplace that supplied the outlying military posts withinventory and served as a trade link with Mexico. Joske's first store, located on Main Plaza in San Antonio and known as J. Joske, opened in 1867 and operated until 1873, when Joske sold it and went back to Berlin for his family. He returned to the Alamo City later that same year and with the help of his sons Siegfried, Albert, and Alexander opened a new store called J. Joske and Sons in a small adobe house close to the United States Army corral.

After two years the family moved the store to Alamo Plaza, not far from the Grand Opera House, and changed its name to Joske Brothers. In 1878 the operation expanded its space and added women's merchandise, and in 1887 the store moved to an


even bigger facility at the corner of Alamo and Commerce streets. Joske's personnel grew from three to thirty-five at a time when San Antonio's population was 25,000.

In 1903 Alexander Joske purchased his father's and brothers' interest in the company, and in 1909 he once again expanded both the Commerce Street location and its product line. At the time, the store's merchandise was primarily for men and boys; the expansion increased the piece-goods department so ladies could have dresses made in the store after selecting patterns and materials. The Commerce Street expansion added elevators and new floors, and established customer-service departments, delivery services, and promotional gimmicks to attract public attention. One such promotion was a 3,000 candle-power searchlight used to highlight the store; in 1922 the light was usedto guide Lt. James H. Doolittle of Kelly Field to a safe landing.

After Alexander Joske died, Dr. Frederic Goldstein Oppenheimer, Alexander's son-in-law, became the firm's president in 1925. Four years later Hahn Department Stores purchased Joske's, and in 1932 it was taken over by Allied Store Corporation. James H. Calvert went to San Antonio from Boston to assume the presidency of Joske's of Texas and held the position until he retired in 1964. Calvert, an English native, had been an officer of the Royal Flying Corps in World War I and went to Boston in 1920 to learn about department stores. Before coming to Joske's, he had been a merchandise manager for Jordan Marsh, an Allied Store affiliate and one of the largest and oldest stores in New


England.

At the time, Joske's Commerce Street location was on the fringe of the business district. Calvert resisted opening new locations downtown and expanding the store to the suburbs, deciding instead to let customers come to the Alamo Plaza location. He also spearheaded the acquisition of such additional properties as the Plaza Theater and the rest of the Joske square block (excluding St. Joseph's Church, sometimes jokingly called St. Joske's) in order to increase the size of the store and alleviate parking problems. Calvert instigated two major expansion projects: the addition that made Joske's the first completely air-conditioned store in Texas, and an addition of 100,000 square feet after the Conroy building on Alamo Street had been torn down in 1939. Joske's eventually added equivalent warehouse space in 1946,and a 1953 building program doubled the store's size to 551,000 square feet and added parking spaces to make twenty acres of parking. While the main store increased in size, the chain spread as well. In 1957 a Las Palmas store location opened to serve the western and southwestern sections of San Antonio; in 1965 the firm purchased Wolff and Marx (subsequently sold in 1968) with its North Star Mall branch; in 1969 Joske's opened a store under its own name in North Star Mall; and in 1971 Joske's opened a branch in Austin.

After Calvert retired in 1964, J. H. Morse took over the presidency, while Calvert remained chairman of the board. Morse, who joined Joske's in 1935 and had been a vice president since 1938, was responsible


for beautification efforts at the city's HemisFair '68 grounds. After his retirement in 1968 he was succeeded by M. H. "Pat" Segner and then by the firm's first native Texas president, William W. McCormick, a graduate of Southern Methodist University, who, like Segner, began his career with the Allied Store Company.

Eventually, Allied Store Corporation changed the names of its Tiche-Goettinger stores in Dallas to Joske's, making a total of twenty-seven outlets in Texas. In late 1986 the Campeau Corporation of Toronto, Canada, purchased Allied Stores Corporation, and in 1987 Dillard's Department Stores of Little Rock, Arkansas, bought the Joske operation from Campeau. All of the Joske stores were henceforth called Dillard's.

Throughout its history the Joske's chain remained an innovator in the retail industry by developing new approaches toadvertising and product development. Alexander Joske, for example, often bought advertising space in the San Antonio dailies, in which he publicly expressed his thoughts. In one such article, he denied a rumor that he had discharged employees because they had voted a certain way in an election. Known as "the biggest store in the biggest state," Joske's was locally identified with its store sign depicting a cowboy on a horse chasing a running steer, designed by A. H. Cadwallader.

In response to a shortage of newspaper advertising caused by a postwar rationing of newsprint, the chain cosponsored the first definitive study of radio and television advertising. Joske's opened a 500-seat auditorium for civic-group meetings and special events and established the Camelia Award, for which the company commissioned original works


of art by state and local artists to present annually to an outstanding fashion designer. In the community, Joske's is credited with introducing the nation's first teen-age beauty pageant, teen advisory boards, charity benefits, art exhibitions, Christmas events, Boy Scout activities, and Mexican-American trade and heritage events. Works of art collected by Frederic Joske Oppenheimer and his wife can be found in various Texas art museums.Geology along the Otago Central Rail Trail

The circuitous path of the Taieri River in east Otago

The Sutton Salt Lake is the only saline lake in New Zealand, and has formed in a windy cool-temperate maritime climate. Consequently, the lake is distinctly different from most of the world's saline lakes that form in arid continental settings.

Naseby - Alluvial gold recycling

Gold from both Eocene and Miocene gravels has been recycled by erosion during fault-related uplift between Pliocene (2-5 million years ago) and Recent. This


recycling process can result in dilution of the gold content by eroded basement material.

There were two principal stages of gold mineralization in the Otago Schist basement: Jurassic-early Cretaceous, as at Macraes, and middle Cretaceous. The vein system at Oturehua is part of the latter group.

Patearoa gold: Alluvial concentrations in a dynamic environment

Patearoa is an historic gold mining area on the southern edge of the Maniototo Basin. The goldfield lies on the northern slopes of the actively rising Rock & Pillar Range, near to the historic Hamiltons Diggings alluvial gold mining area. The gold at Patearoa has been concentrated in gravel deposits (=alluvial gold) that accumulated in alluvial fans on the slopes of the actively rising Rock and Pillar Range.

Hamilton Diggings

Hamiltons Diggings has some remnants of 40 million year-old quartz gravels, and 20 million year-old quartz gravels occur on the west side of the Maniototo valley. These quartz gravels contain abundant gold, especially where they rest on the schist.

Gold at Alexandra

The most prominent feature of


the faulted zone in the Raggedy Range is Tucker Hill, between Galloway and Alexandra. This relatively rugged valley wall contrasts strongly with the gentle slopes of the northeastern and central portions of the Raggedy Range.

Gold at Ophir

The southern portion of the Raggedy Range has been made more complicated by the presence of a set of faults at the margin of the valley. The faults are geologically ancient, but some of these faults have acted as weak zones during the present folding of the region.

The smooth gentle slopes of the Raggedy Range reflect the folded structure of the schist bedrock, and this fold is still developing as the range rises. The rising range has forced the Poolburn to cut a deep gorge through the range, through which theFor Mike More, local government is in a state of "continuous revolution". "Although it's a cliche, change is normal," says the chief executive of Westminster city council, one of three public leaders at the pinnacle of London's great tri-borough testbed.

While those around him doubt the sustainability of councils, heralding the end of local government as we know it in a death by a thousand cuts, More remains upbeat. "I don't see us stabilising, I see us continuing to change. It's not the death of local government; I see it as a revolution."

The creation of the tri-borough agreement – essentially a large shared service model with neighbouring boroughs Hammersmith and Fulham and Kensington and Chelsea – was itself an innovation aimed at coping with the changes facing local government.

Blue Twilight Trailer

Blue Twilight is author Sarah King's debut novel, and what a sweet way to introduce herself to the book world.

Blue Twilight is a story about love, forgiveness, trust, redemption, overcoming the biggest hurdle in finding love, your heart, and just a touch of mystery. All that sounds heavy but Mrs. King does a fantastic job at balancing the story with light-hearted humor. I found myself fascinated with the main characters and wanting to learn more about them. There was a sense of wanting to know what was going to happen next, and getting a glimpse into the world of these two seemingly ordinary folks traversing their way on this journey of love.

saying that this book absolutely rocked! I'm no stranger to sexually explicit books, or smut books, so the nature of the story was nothing new. However, what was new was the voice of the book, the story line, and the narrator of the book.

The book is written and narrated from a male's POV and I loved it. There was a sense of something new and fresh, for me. This wasn't a love story in the sense of falling deeply in love, but it was a love story nonetheless. I loved how there was no fluff built up around the sex scenes. No "as I looked into the deep blue pools of his eyes, I fell deeper under his spell as he plunged his manhood into me" type stuff.don't have an aversion to reading about gore, drugs and murder, go for it.

Khale the Wanderer: lost in the wilderness, scarred by Milanda's fate. Lord Barneth: the butcher of Colm hosts a feast in Khale's honour - but to what end? Cacea Selwen: a mysterious servant-girl whose fortune becomes bound to Khale. The Thoughtless Dark: a figure emerges from its shadows to decide if, this night, the Wanderer shall die.

What others have said:"Greg James has a wonderfully vivid and creative imagination which sets him apart from other writers in the Fantasy genre." - Cheryl Bradshaw, New York Times Bestselling Author of the Sloane Monroe Series

"James'writing is flawless and strong. There were many moments when I forgot anything existed but the world he had built." - Heather Marie Adkins, Author of Abigail, The Temple & The House

"This is dark fantasy of the highest calibre." - Adrian Chamberlin, Author of The Caretakers

Greg James delivers an unforgettable saga in this second installment of Khale the Wanderer books.

James reintroduces previous characters into this story as well as new ones. He also introduces new and nightmare inducing foes that will make you scream for dear life. Each character introduced is profound and I found myself fighting alongside with them, wanting them to live to see another day, as bleak as those days are.

In Lost is the Night we find Khale struggling, more than he has in his

Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa casts his ballot at Sherwood Primary School in Kwekwe on July 30, 2018, during general elections.

Votes are being counted in Zimbabwe following a historic election Monday that wields the potential to bring the isolated state back into the international community and resurrect its once-promising economy.

Turnout at the polls was high, averaging at 70 percent, according to the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission. Voting closed at 7 p.m. local time (1 p.m. ET) as Zimbabweans selected both a new president and parliament.

Foreign observers from the U.S., the European Union and the Commonwealth were present at the election in the southern African country.

The historic vote is the first in nearly four decades without former strongman leader Robert Mugabe on the ballot paper. Instead, the two frontrunners for thepresidency are Emmerson Mnangagwa, currently in office and Mugabe's former right-hand man, and Nelson Chamisa, a 40 year-old lawyer and pastor.

A July 20 survey by pollster Afrobarometer revealed that Mnangagwa was in the lead with a projected 40 percent of the vote, closely tailed by Chamisa at 37 percent. Twenty percent of voting intentions were unknown.

Mnangagwa heads up Zimbabwe's ruling ZANU-PF party, while Chamisa leads the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC).

Mnangagwa or Chamisa must achieve over 50 percent of the vote in order to secure the presidency or else face a run-off on September 8.


In a case involving the $50 million expansion of the Minneapolis Institute of Arts (MIA), 2400 3rd Ave. S., the Court ruled that the city misread state law and took too long to review developments and handle any appeals. The result: developers and property owners such as

Chanen can perhaps go ahead with projects that have been rejected.

City Councilmember Gary Schiff (9th Ward) called the decision "a big blow to neighborhood participation" because it reduces the time for public comment on such things as site plan reviews, zoning changes, conditional-use permits and variances.

The city has not yet decided whether to appeal to the Minnesota Supreme Court, Schiff said.

The issue

Here's how the city's development procedure had worked:

A developer submits plans to the city's Planning Commission. The city must act inLansing said the city did not notify the MIA because it believed the appeal was a new request, triggering a new 60-day clock. Eventually, the City Council -- which decides Planning Commission appeals -- rejected Smith's and Moreno's case 7-4.

The Whittier couple then took the city to court, spending $10,000 on their fight. However, the Appeals Court threw out their suit as moot.

The Court wrote that the Smith/Moreno appeal was not a new request, but an extension of the ongoing review of the MIA's request. The appeal did not start a new 60-day clock. Because the city had not acted within the allotted time, the project could go forward. The City Council's action was meaningless, so Smith and Moreno could not take it to court.

The salvage yard


Orange's calculation, the clock on the amended application did not run out until Oct. 1, after the City Council had made its decision.

Chanen said he will wait a few months to make a decision on whether to challenge the city's final ruling.

Speeding up reviews

Lansing said past city decisions would stand. Developers who thought the Court of Appeals decision could affect prior votes would have to challenge them in court.

Barbara Sporlein, city planning director, said the city anticipated losing the court case and had begun making changes in the review process months ago. It is still reviewing its timelines.

"There is pressure," she said. "I think there were over 1,000 applications that went to the Planning Commission and the Board of Adjustment last year. That is a lot of paperto move."

Because the court ruling effectively chops the maximum review time from 240 days to 120 days, Schiff said he is looking for ways to bring neighborhoods into the process sooner. For instance, the Planning Department sends Councilmembers a weekly e-mail list of all new Planning applications.

"We may develop an e-mail list for neighborhood associations where we send that list out electronically," he said.

Another option is to better coordinate Planning Commission and the City Council's Zoning and Planning Committee meetings to reduce lag time in handling appeals.

"The Planning Commission is very committed to making sure neighborhoods have an opportunity to review these cases and give feedback, and the Appeals Court has made it more difficult for us," Schiff said.

As for Paul Smith, he says he and Donna Moreno

She also stated that appellant had acted in the same manner with her nine-year-old sister. The counselor spoke with the nine-year-old who *540 reported that about a year earlier, appellant had "touched her on the top and on the legs." The counselor so informed the children's mother who requested that the counselor also speak with her 12-year-old daughter. That child too reported that appellant had touched her on the breasts and legs. All three children reported that the incidents had occurred at appellant's home. The three children each related the same incidents to their mother. Although the 12-year-old was initially reluctant to talk about the events, she ultimately disclosed that appellant had put his mouth


on her breasts and made her touch his "private parts." These events occurred at his home and at a processing plant where he did janitorial work. The police were notified.
At the request of the investigating officer, a caseworker with the Dade County Department of Family & Children Services conducted videotaped interviews with each of the three children. Their accounts of the incidents were materially consistent with the information previously given to the counselor and to their mother. Each reported that the incidents took place during a period of time when the children and their mother were living with appellant and his wife, although that time frame was unspecified by the evidence. In addition, the oldest child reported that appellant had threatened to hurt her and her sisters ifshe reported the misconduct. The children were shown anatomical drawings and asked to mark the areas where they had been touched. Their markings were consistent with their verbal descriptions. The 12-year-old testified that the events occurred about a year prior to the trial date of November 1991. The 11-year-old placed the incident at Christmas time and stated that she reported it to the counselor after viewing the film at school. The counselor confirmed that she received the report in December 1990. Venue was properly established in Dade County.

wider the individual panels are, the larger the radius of the curved transition region of the guide rails to ensure a regular motion. A comparatively large radius of the transition region of the guide rails in turn results in a large lintel above the opening which should be closed by the garage door. Section doors with large panels are thus essentially suitable for construction situations in which sufficient space is present above the door opening for the arrangement of the guide rails. Particularly prefabricated garages in which only a comparatively low lintel is provided can, however, as a rule not be provided with sectional doors with large panels since a sufficiently high lintel is not available here.

Trump spent years perpetrating the lie that Obama was born outside the United States. The president campaigned aggressively against Trump during the 2016 campaign, warning that his election would put the republic at risk.

But at least publicly, the two men appeared to put aside their animosity. As the meeting concluded and journalists scrambled out of the Oval Office, Obama smiled at his successor and explained the unfolding scene.

“We now are going to want to do everything we can to help you succeed because if you succeed the country succeeds,” Obama said.

From the White House, Trump headed to Capitol Hill for meetings with House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky to discuss the GOP legislative


residence with Trump’s wife, Melania, while Vice President Joe Biden was seeing Vice President-elect Mike Pence later Thursday.

“The two men did not relitigate their differences in the Oval Office,” Earnest said. “We’re on to the next phase.”

Trump traveled to Washington from New York on his private jet, breaking with protocol by not bringing journalists in his motorcade or on his plane to document his historic visit to the White House. Trump was harshly critical of the media during his campaign and for a time banned news organizations whose coverage he disliked from his events.

As scores of journalists waited to be admitted to the Oval Office to see Obama and Trump together, they saw White House chief of staff Denis McDonough walking along the South Lawn driveway with JaredKushner, Trump’s son-in-law. A handful of Trump aides trailed them.

The show of civility at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue contrasted with postelection scenes of protests across a politically divided country. Demonstrators from New England to the heartland and the West Coast vented against the election winner on Wednesday, chanting “Not my president,” burning a papier-mache Trump head, beating a Trump pinata and carrying signs that said “Impeach Trump.”

More than 100 protesters held a sit-in outside Trump International Hotel just blocks from the White House. The mostly student protesters held signs saying “Love Trumps Hate,” a phrase Democrat Hillary Clinton often used during the campaign.

Trump’s advisers, many of whom were stunned by his unexpected victory over Clinton, plunged into the work of setting up a White House and staffing government agencies.

Thoughout California and across the US, hunger is rising at an unprecedented rate, even in affluent areas. Beginning March 19, a special multimedia series from the USC Annenberg School for Journalism & Communication and California Watch (a project of the Center for Investigative Reporting) will spotlight this often invisible problem.

“Hunger in the Golden State” will explore food waste, nutrition in schools, and ways to help Californians fighting to ward off hunger. The project reveals that nearly one in eight Californians has asked for food assistance in the last year.

The three-week series will run in CA newspapers, on radio stations, and in online news outlets.

news organizations had staff reporters based in Washington, DC who are assigned at least two-thirds time to cover the Dept. of Defense. By 2010, that number shrank to 10. Similarly, in 2003 10 news organizations had DC-based staffers covering the State Dept. at least two-thirds time; by 2010, only nine did.

However, in 2010 four federal agencies that previously had not been the main beat for any DC-based reporter (the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Consumer Products Safety Commission, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and the Dept. of Housing and Urban Development) had been assigned beat reporters.

The nonprofit has previously conducted smaller investigations into family homelessness, and public health and the urban environment.

Music consumers have grown accustomed to copying their music for their own personal use. This fact of life was written into law in the United States via the Audio Home Recording Act of 1992. Millions of consumers have CD players and purchase music in the Compact Disc format. It is expected to take years for a format transition away from Red Book CD Audio to reach significant market penetration.
Hence, a need exists for a new and improved system for protecting digital content against unauthorized copying and distribution.
