5 Cleveland Indians Storylines for Spring Training

David Richard-USA TODAY Sports

In 2013, the Cleveland Indians exceeded expectations, making a dazzling run into the October postseason. Although the team lost in the Wild Card Game at home, 92 wins following a 68-win 2012 season should still be considered a good season. Of course, much of this improvement can be attributed to bringing in manager Terry Francona, who has done an excellent job at every stop.

Looking ahead to 2014, the Indians will be looking to prove that last season was not a one-time deal but that the team is here to stay at the top. The Detroit Tigers, who reached the ALCS last season, will probably start as the title favorites in the AL Central again this season, but the Indianswill be looking to surprise the baseball world once again. The Indians lack the star power to endear most baseball fans, but what the Indians may lack in individual players is definitely made up in team play, smart coaching and in-game managing.

The Indians certainly have something to look forward to in the future, especially with a very young starting rotation led by Justin Masterson. Those young guns were the key to the Indians' success late in the season, and the team's front office have a lot of faith in those guys, choosing not to bring back veteran starters Scott Kazmir or Ubaldo Jimenez.

Here are five storylines to follow as the team heads into Spring Training.

While officials are mainly concerned about fake news strategies deployed by rival campaigns, not a foreign power, they caution that such tactics are often planned and executed abroad, which makes shutting them down difficult.

During a performance of their sweeping 7/27 R&B ballad "No Way," Jauregui became overcome with emotion and started crying while singing the chorus.

It is the largest arms contract signed in U.S. history. $60 billion in weapons to Saudi Arabia. More importantly, that huge contract probably includes a long-term agreement to ensure oil supplies to the U.S. from the Saudi Kingdom. After so many empty words about energy independence from the Middle East, it seems that gone are the days of anti-OPEC messages from the current administration. But it is also of paramount importance to secure the protection of Israel from the threats of the Iran regime. After all, the Saudi Kingdom has as much to fear from Iran as Israel has.

The United States faces a future that needs Israel and Saudi Arabia as much as it did twenty years ago, if


program, despite the virus threats to its IT systems, and its anti-Israel but also anti-Saudi messages. It is not just a prevention message, it is a way to strengthen the Saudi government as leader of the moderate wing of the Arab countries. The Iranian regime is not supporting the King Abdullah, and continues to try to grab influence in the Shia community versus the Suni majority, while Saudi Arabia is undertaking the most ambitious program of modernization and opening up in its history, more than a billion dollars of investment in infrastructure and services, and, after sporadic protests in August, a very specific focus on education and securing employment for the population younger than 25 years, more than half of its 18 million inhabitants.

Staunton, November 7 – An estimated 1500 people from Azerbaijan went to Syria to fight in the ranks of the Islamic State. Now, given the deteriorating security situation there, many of them are returning home where they pose an increasingly serious problem for Baku – and possibly for Azerbaijan’s neighbors as well.

Much of the flow of fighters from Azerbaijan came from the predominantly Sunni districts in the northern part of the country – Azerbaijan as a whole is traditionally two-thirds Shiia – and a large share of them are Avars and Lezgins rather than Azerbaijanis, according to Anton Bredikhin ( kavkazoved.info/news/2015/11/06/ig-otstupaet-v-azerbajdzhan.html ).

As a result of the import duties applied in June by the United States under Section 232 of the U.S. Trade Expansion Act – 25% on imported steel and 10% on aluminum – exporting steel to the U.S. has become less attractive, and steel suppliers have diverted some of their exports to Europe.

Behemoth - a cat who was stolen from his home in a Russian museum - has been returned alive but is feeling "discontent".

In a posting on their Facebook page, the Bulgakov House Museum Theatre in Moscow said a woman grabbed their resident cat and ran away.

The theft was reported to the police on Wednesday morning and much to the delight of well-wishers on social media, Behemoth was found later that evening.

Behemoth is named after the talking cat from the Mikhail Bulgakov novel The Master and Margarita and has lived at the museum dedicated to the writer for 13 years.

A spokesperson for the museum said the cathad been returned in good health although was feeling "discontent", adding that Behemoth was happy "talking to journalists and visitors".

The black Siberian and Persian cat is highly regarded at the museum. He is described as a "staff member" who resides at the museum "under the supervision of his own doctor and stylist."

The museum's Facebook post announcing Behemoth's disappearance received more than 2,400 reactions and was shared more than 2,800 times.

On Twitter, Maxim Kazansky the head of Moscow's South District Consumer Council said "A staff member of the Bulgakov House has been kidnapped! Behemoth the cat was stolen by an unknown woman. If you have any information on his current whereabouts contact the Bulgakov House."

Russian news media got involved with the search for Behemoth. TV channel Dozhd posted a


tweet seriously condemning whoever took him.

"Today an unknown woman, (who we seriously condemn), stole the cat Behemoth from the Bulgakov House. Let's spread the information and return the cat to the museum," they said.

Later in the evening there was relief when the pet was discovered.

Bulgakov House posted pictures of Behemoth following his return saying "the thieves got scared of the outcry."

Writer Alexander Pelevin tweeted how worried he had been for the cat, while photographer Yevgeny Feldman referenced Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita when he found out the feline had been found.

"The cat kidnapped from the museum has been found. The cat said it was hypnotized by Woland," he posted. (Professor Woland isconsidered to be an incarnation of Satan in the novel.)

In support of his struggle, others simply shared pictures online of themselves with Behemoth.

Who are Bulgakov, Behemoth, the Master and Margarita?

Mikhail Bulgakov was a writer who was born in Kiev in 1891 and died in Moscow in 1940.

His book, The Master and Margarita is a story of life in 1930s Soviet Russia that could not be published during Bulgakov's lifetime and later appeared in censored versions in the 1960s.

It is set in both Moscow in the 1930s and Jerusalem at the time of Christ. The plot centres around the Devil, who is disguised a Professor Woland; an oppressed writer called the Master; and Margarita, who despite being married loves the Master.

A Tennessee man charged with killing former NBA player Lorenzen Wright pleaded guilty Monday to a separate gun charge.

Billy Ray Turner entered his plea in a Memphis court before the scheduled start of his trial on charges of possessing a weapon as a convicted felon.

Shelby County prosecutors say Turner illegally had two guns in his possession when he was charged in December 2017 with killing the 34-year-old Wright.

Turner has a previous felony conviction of reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon.

Turner and Wright's ex-wife, Sherra Wright, conspired to kill the retired NBA player and Memphis native in July 2010, authorities have said. Turner, a landscaper in the Memphis suburb of Collierville, and Sherra Wright attended the same church.

Lorenzen Wright's body was found riddled with gunshots in a swampy Memphisfield 10 days after he was reported missing. His killing was one of Memphis' most highly publicized slayings ever, and it has drawn national attention.

Turner and Sherra Wright have pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder. Their trial is scheduled in September.

Turner faces 12 to 20 years in prison on the gun charge at sentencing set for July 26.


A first-of-its-kind bill spelling out internet users' rights to access and privacy is set to become law once Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff signs off on it.

The Marco Civil da Internet, which has been hailed by open internet advocates such as Mozilla and Sir Tim Berners-Lee, was unanimously approved by Brazil's Senate today and may be signed into law as early as tomorrow at the NetMundial conference.

The bill had been in the works for years before the Snowden revelations, but they (especially the parts about the NSA spying on Rousseff) really kicked things into high gear. Rousseff asked for the bill to be treated with "constitutional urgency."

Marco Civil will provide for net neutrality (something we in the United States don't have), limits gathering data from internet users, and saysdefendant's acquisition of the land he had undertaken extensive clearance of the ground cover and trees on the land, reducing the ability of the woodland to hold game and reducing the areas of the shoot in which her rights could be effectively exercised. The defendant's conduct was said to constitute an unlawful infringement of her rights and to be a trespass and/or a nuisance. She sought an interim injunction restraining him from taking any steps which unlawfully interfered with her rights, from felling trees and from removing ground cover.

Held

The first issue was whether there was a serious issue to be tried. There was just about a seriously arguable case that there had been an actionable interference with the claimant's rights. On an application for an interim injunction, it


was not appropriate for the court to embark upon a detailed exposition of the circumstances in which acts of normal estate management by the owner of land burdened, not simply by shooting rights, but also by rights to "preserve and rear game for normal shooting purposes", might constitute an actionable interference with those rights. On the present state of the authorities, it was at least fairly arguable that acts carried out in the normal estate management of one's land might be actionable at the suit of the holder of rights of shooting, and of preserving and rearing, game if they substantially changed the character of the land so as to render it materially less fit for the purposes of shooting and preserving and rearing game for shooting purposes.Image caption Belfast City Hall - at the heart of the city's life since 1906

A new £1.3m exhibition at Belfast's City Hall is designed to reflect the city's rich and contested history.

The iconic building dominates the centre of the city, and has been at the heart of civic life since its completion in 1906.

Political demonstrations, the Christmas market, countless weddings, Remembrance Day ceremonies, a giant Ferris wheel - the City Hall has seen them all.

At times, the building's primary purpose as a meeting place for the council seems almost an afterthought.

The City Hall is already a popular tourist attraction, with regular guided tours, but the permanent exhibition will add something new.

The city of 1.6 million is known around the world for its modernist architecture, world heritage sites, and its football team, referred to as "Barca" - but not everyone is happy about the high number of visitors.

Barcelona's appeal to foreigners and their money has led to rising property prices, making affordable housing incredibly difficult to find for the locals.

At the peak of the Spanish financial crisis, thousands were evicted from their homes for falling behind on their mortgage. Some protesters formed human chains around properties to prevent the city authorities from evicting homeowners. Ada Colau often led those protests.

Paradoxically, there are more beds there [city centre] for tourists than there are for the city's residents. Ada Colau,


mayor of Barcelona

Supported by her anti-eviction group, Colau decided to run for mayor of Barcelona, and against all predictions, she became the city's first female mayor in 2015. The activist-turned-politician promised to control the tourism industry by limiting the number of visitors, banning licences to build new hotels, and increasing taxes on vacation rentals.

But with tourism accounting for 14 percent of Barcelona's economy, can Colau reclaim the city for its residents? The mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau, talks to Al Jazeera.

Asked about her history of activism, especially for victims of abusive mortgages, Colau says this is where Spain was hit the hardest and where it continues to suffer.

"The economic crisis in Spain is closely linked to real estate and the mortgage market. It's undoubtedly been one of theworst housing crises in Europe ... At the same time, instead of rescuing people, the state rescued [the] banks, which had cheated people with abusive mortgages and interest rates ... So there was a huge scam and the state didn't help the people, but rather the banks that had cheated and evicted people," says Colau.

On her controversial views on tourism, one of the most challenging parts of the Colau mayoral mandate, Colau claims this is in fear of another "economic disaster".

"When we came into office, we found an economic activity out of control ... For instance, tourist accommodation increased by over 18 percent in just five years. It was uncontrolled, extremely fast growth at the rate of a bubble, which is dangerous not only for the city but

This would suggest her unaccounted assets are 76 per cent more than her income, and not, as the court had found, only eight per cent.But a closer scrutiny by NDTV of the judgement has revealed even further glaring inconsistencies in the court's assessment of the former chief minister's income and assets:gifts alleged to be tainted shown as legitimate; exaggerated earnings from one of her companies; and a lowered estimation of construction costs on her various properties.In the sources of her income, the order lists 'gifts' to the tune of Rs 1.5 crore offered to Ms Jayalalithaa on her 44th birthday in 1992.But as pointed out by the prosecution, these gifts are under CBI investigation for an alleged breach of the Prevention of Corruption Act 1988, which prevents a public servant from receiving gifts from those with whom he or she has official business.Twenty-one of these were from AIADMK officials who were given plum appointments just before and after her birthday. The list of names in the CBI chargesheet include, for instance, AM Paramasivam the Minister of Labour appointed


the exclusive service on these routes. When it ceased all operations on that date the CAB, on an emergency basis, granted temporary authority to American Airlines to operate the London route and to Continental Airlines the Venezuela route. Braniff's certificates were left intact by this action. Those two carriers have continued to provide service on their respective routes and have intervened as defendants in this proceeding.
Notwithstanding domestic deregulation, certificates of authority are still required for international routes because the air space rights of foreign countries are involved and the right to fly such routes is governed by treaties. The selection of a carrier to fly an international air route is a three step process. First, the CAB awards a certificate of authority to the carrier it deems bestable to perform the service. In the second step the President reviews the CAB's decision which becomes effective upon his approval. Once a certificate is granted it cannot be revoked by unilateral action of the CAB, rather an adjudicatory procedure is required. Finally, the State Department, at the request of the CAB, informs the foreign country which carrier is designated to fly the particular route.
*719 Braniff's certificate for the London route was due to expire by its own terms in January, 1983, and the one for the Venezuela route in March, 1983. The CAB, consistent with its normal practice, commenced hearings on July 9, 1982, to determine whether the two certificates should be renewed upon their expiration or awarded to another carrier. In September, 1982, the Tax Equity


is effectively foreclosed by the second part of the Circuit's decision wherein the court went on to hold that even if it assumed that the slots gave rise to some limited proprietary interest they were still subject to the continuing exclusive jurisdiction and approval of the FAA. This holding clearly indicates that rights under certificates or slots, which fall within the § 541 definition of property of the estate and which are subject to an administrative agency, remain subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of that agency and the Bankruptcy Court may not interfere in the agency's exercise of its administrative functions even though the effect of the agency's action may be to adversly affect that property of the estate.[1] The Court's opinion makes no mention of the ephemeralWhile residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (413) of this book, with reference to Thera Candabha.

Candabha had, in a previous existence,in the time of the Buddha Kassapa offered red sandalwood in the form of a moon disk to the shrine of the Buddha Kassapa that was built when he attained parinibbāna. Due to this meritorious deed, when he was reborn in a brahmin family in Savatthi,during the time of the Buddha Gotama.He was born with a distinguishing mark, viz., a circle of light radiating from around his navel. As this circle of light resembled the moon he came to be known as Candabha(Moon Disk). Some brahmins, taking advantage of this unusual feature, put him on a cart and took him round the town for exhibition


taken out of sight of the Buddha, the ring of light returned automatically; it again disappeared when taken back to the presence of the Buddha. Candabha then asked the Buddha to give him the mantra (words of incantation) that would make the ring of light disappear from around his navel. The Buddha told him that the mantra could be given only to a member of his Order. Candabha told the brahmins that he was getting a mantra from the Buddha and that after mastering the mantra he would be the greatest person in the whole of Jambudipa. So the brahmins waited outside the monastery.

Meanwhile, Candabha became a bhikkhu. He was instructed to contemplate the body, i.e., to reflect on the repulsiveness and impurity of the thirty-two constituents ofthe body. Within a few days, Candabha attained arahatship. When the brahmins who were waiting outside the monastery came to enquire whether he had acquired the mantra, Candabha replied. "You people had better go back now; as for me I am no longer in a position to go along with you." Other bhikkhus, hearing him, went to the Buddha and said, "Candabha is falsely claiming that he has become an arahat." To them the Buddha replied, "Candabha speaks the truth; he has eradicated all moral intoxicants."

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

A Saint is Pure
Who is spotless as the moon, who is pure, serene, and unperturbed,
Who has destroyed craving for becoming — I call a Saint.413

Exports from the Bahamas include rum, pharmaceuticals, cement, salt, seafood, and refined oil products.

History

The Bahamas has a rich and unique history. The name comes from Christopher Columbus, who set foot on the island of San Salvador in 1492. Upon seeing the shallow waters surrounding the islands, he named the region "Baja Mar" ("Shallow Sea"), which over time has transformed into the name used today: The Bahamas.

The strategic location of the Bahamas, right next to Florida, made it an important navigation route for explorers, colonists, invaders, merchants, and pirates, all of which contributed to the fascinating history of the dazzling islands.

Before the arrival of Columbus, the Bahamas was inhabited by the Lucayos, a subgroup of the indigenous Arahuacos of


the West Indies. The Lucayos fled from the West Indies toward the Bahamas to evade the cannibalistic warrior natives of the Caribbean. The Lucayos dedicated themselves to agriculture, religion, and politics. However, with the arrival of Columbus, the Lucayos were taken into slavery and shipped to the island of Hispaniola to work in the mines. Following 25 years of hard labor, the tribe became extinct after suffering from widespread disease and horrific working conditions.

In 1648, a group of English puritans known as "Eleutherans" formed the Bahamas' first settlement on the island of Eleuthera. Later, during the United States Civil War, a group of English colonists from the US came to the Bahamas, bringing with them slaves and knowledge of agriculture, shipbuilding, and architecture. The group, known as theLegalists, demanded the withdrawal of the Spanish and brought independence to the islands. The Bahamas was declared a British colony in 1783, and gained independence in 1973. It is now a member of the Commonwealth of Nations.

Pirate Era

Since the Bahamas formed part of a highly transited trade route, pirate attacks on merchant ships became very common. The late 1600's and early 1700's marked the largest surge of pirates and corsairs, such as Calico Jack, Sir Henry Morgan, Sir Francis Drake and Edward Teach, more commonly known as Blackbeard. The corsairs attacked enemy ships upon request by the government, and pirates assaulted any vessel that got in their way.

The constant fear of pirate attacks led to rampant treasure burial. Treasures were hidden in caves or buried underground all over


the islands, giving the Bahamas the air of mystery and adventure that characterizes it today.

Beaches

Sun, sand, sea, and culture best define the Bahamas. The clear waters and sandy beaches are perfect for long walks along the coast, water sports and activities, or sunbathing alongside the swaying palm trees.

Never ending miles of white sands fuse with the turquoise sea, creating the amazing beaches of the beautiful Bahamas. Enjoy intense moments of relaxation and solitude, or experience the excitement of the many aquatic activities the islands have to offer.Space Administration on Tuesday announced that March 2017 was the second hottest March on record. The hottest was March 2016. Not that we need another reminder, but nine of the 10 warmest years on global record have been after the year 2000.

India burning

Large parts of India, as is evident so far, have borne the brunt of heat waves since the end of March. This particular heat wave began on April 17. Temperatures over 40 degrees Celsius were recorded in most parts of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Vidarbha and Marathwada. There were also severe heat wave conditions in Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab and north Rajasthan.

None of this is entirely unexpected. The India Meteorological Department had predicted a hotter than usual summer back in March, before temperatures began

He then hopped into the #4 for the remainder of the race, but was never able to make it up front to challenge the leaders.

The Secret Service rides again

Roughly a decade ago, the Secret Service – a hard-rocking pop quartet featuring singer/guitarist Justice Naczycz, guitarist Steve Selvidge, bassist Mark Edgar Stuart, and drummer John Argroves – were one of the biggest and busiest bands in Memphis. But after riding high on the success of 2006’s The Service Is Spectacular, the group inexplicably broke up in 2009, leaving behind a well of unfinished material, much of which has been lost to history.

“We did a reunion at Neil’s in 2011, and could only remember two of the new songs – ‘Teenage Mustache’ and ‘Outsiders,’” says Naczycz. “We tried to record them a couple of times, but it never worked out.”

When the Secret Service re-united last year to open for the Subteensa little punk.

In his statement, Assange says his interview process with police in November was “simply a ruse to tick a box to ensure the technical possibility to indict me, irrespective of how I answer any questions.”

He says he tried to give a statement to Swedish prosecutors for six years via various means, including in Sweden before he left, in London via video link or in an embassy, or back in Sweden if he was given a guarantee he would not be extradited to the US, where he fears prosecution on an espionage-related charge.As with much of today's manufacturing technology, the method of producing photographic prints from a roll of film has become highly automated. Rolls of film are typically spliced together forming a continuous film strip. The strip is run through a photo processing machine which develops the negatives and produces one or more sets of prints. The machine also cuts the negatives and prints and stacks them for insertion into a print folder. Machines today, such as those produced by Gretag Imaging, Inc. of Chicopee, Mass. also are capable of automatically inserting the prints and negatives into the print folders. The machine includes a means such a mechanism or shovel for opening the pockets and inserting the prints and negatives into the appropriate pockets. Many photo processors, however, still


use the method of hand-inserting prints and negatives into the folders.
Folders for holding photo prints currently are produced from a relatively flimsy or flexible paper material having a single print pocket. The print pockets are sometimes expandable along the side edges but not the bottom edge of the folder. Some folders also include an expandable bottom end as well. Additionally, some folders have an extra pocket in front of the print pocket for holding the photo print negatives. This type of paper folder has a floating divider which is produced separately from and simply glued into the folder forming two separate pockets. The negative and print pockets both may expand through movement of the divider. The folder also usually includes glue panels along the sides for adhering thea significant body of research. Following Poole (1968), the literature on reserve demand has generally focussed on a representative bank's precautionary motive for holding reserves. In such models, the prototypical bank faces uncertainty about its end-of-day reserve position at the Federal Reserve and must choose a targeted level of reserves that balances the costs of holding non-interest bearing excess reserves against the costs associated with not meeting reserve requirements. Poole developed the basic single period version of this reserve demand that lies at the heart of most of the subsequent work. He also extended his model to a multi-day maintenance period, but for convenience abstracted from daily overdraft penalties along with carryover provisions (which did not apply at the time).
Several other papers have extended this optimizing model of

A 27-year-old IAF flight lieutenant Mohit Garg from Samana town in Patiala district is among the 13 people who went missing after the AN-32 military transport plane went off the radar on its way to Arunachal Pradesh’s West Siang district on Monday afternoon.

The family of Mohit Garg in Samana town, including his father Surinder Garg and uncle Rishi Garg, left for Assam soon after receiving the information.

Mohit’s uncle Prem Pal said his father got the information about the aircraft going missing through television channels, following which he contacted officer’s wife Aastha in Assam. “Aastha confirmed it from IAF authorities that Mohit was onboard in AN-32 military transport plane and informed the family,” said Lal.

An alumnus of Punjab Public School, Nabha, Mohit, got his


initial training at National Defence Academy (NDA) Khadakwasla, Pune, before being commissioned as flying officer in the IAF. Mohit is the younger of his two siblings. “The entire family is praying for his safety,” said the officer’s brother Ashwani. Mohit got married in February last year. The Soviet-origin Antonov-32 plane carrying 13 people, including an eight-man crew, took off from Jorhat in Assam at 12.27pm.

It was on its way to an advanced landing ground at Mechuka in West Siang district. The landing ground is about 15km from the Line of Actual Control, the disputed border with China. The aircraft last contacted ground control at 1pm.Death-news rankings revealed

Major news outlets are responding to complaints of bias in the way certain stories about deaths are prioritized. The charges of bias come in the wake of Saturday’s accident involving Asiana Airlines flight 214, which crash-landed at San Francisco International Airport, killing two passengers and injuring scores more.

Many news organizations such as CNN and the New York Times have given considerably more coverage to the Boeing 777 crash than to other stories involving deaths that occurred around the same time.

On Saturday, the same day as the Boeing 777 crash, a runaway train exploded in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec, killing at least 13 people and leaving 37 missing. The following day, a Havilland DHC3 Otter crashed on a runway in Soldotna, Alaska, resulting in the deaths of ten people.


has not been as influential in India as it has been in the West. Inspired by Marx and his analysis of capitalism, critical theory is often seen as competing with postcolonial theory, which has a significant following among Indian scholars. Yet both schools share an emancipatory agenda as well as analytical tools that focus on probing power relations to show how things actually are.

Today, there is a broad consensus within the government and among policy professionals on ordering Indian society on liberal democratic principles and market capitalism, amidst increasing demand for accommodating a narrow idea of nationalism. As a result, critical theorists in India are forced to limit themselves to making apparently provocative statements in public, and those who really undertake ideologiekritik and provide alternative visions of societyin doing this they are also specifically addressing questions that are personally important to them. For Rathore, the significance of the synthesis of our intellectual and physical virtues is not merely a pedantic highlight made while discussing Greek philosophy. As a triathlete himself, and as someone who has completed some of the world’s toughest sporting events, the unity of virtues may well be the guiding principle that drives him to action every day. Similarly, for Thakkar, investing time and effort in probing the relationship between ideal and critical theory is not just about conveying an academic point. In addition to being an academic philosopher at an American university, Thakkar is also a founding editor of The Point, a magazine that aims to blend “memoir, criticism and journalism to


truck; one of them tall and wearing a red shirt, and the other short, wearing a brown or green shirt. The truck then left. The two men crossed the street and walked south along a fence surrounding Aimco Wholesale. Mr. Dale observed the fence shaking and, in a few minutes, saw the men enter the fence and go onto the Aimco property. He then observed the men pulling a trailer loaded with two all-terrain vehicles through a hole in the fence. After they pulled the trailer through the fence, the men walked along the outside of the fence and crossed the street. Mr. Dale was in his backyard at this time, observing the parties through bushes. Mr. Dale testified that while the parties were standing there, a deputy'scar came by and the men crept into the ditch until the deputy passed. A minute or two later, the white truck came back and picked them up. Mr. Dale dialed 911 and reported a break-in when the men first entered the fence.
Pulaski County Deputy Sheriff Mike Kesterson testified he drove by Aimco Wholesale at approximately 12:40 a.m. He *823 saw a black male wearing a red shirt and shorts standing on the side of the road, dusting his hands. He came within three feet of the man, as he passed by. Continuing on, Deputy Kesterson saw a white truck parked in a farmer's supply store lot (which is in the area near Aimco) with the engine running. The driver of the truck, a black male, saw the


police car, turned his headlights on, and fell in behind Deputy Kesterson at the stop sign. The officer turned west and the truck turned and continued east. Deputy Kesterson was running low on fuel so he radioed the police department to convey his "suspicions," but was told that another unit was "headed that way."
After refueling his car, Deputy Kesterson returned to Aimco Wholesale, whereupon police officers were holding three men in their squad cars. Deputy Kesterson identified Baker as the man he saw standing by the ditch and another man, Michael Raglin, as the driver of the truck.
Officer Robert Lusk testified that he responded to a call about 12:55 a.m., regarding a burglary in progress at Aimco Wholesale. Based on the information he received, Officer Lusk followed awhite pickup truck travelling east on Colonel Glenn Road and, a few blocks later, pulled the truck over. The driver got out of the truck and identified himself as Michael Raglin. The two passengers identified themselves as appellants, Townsend and Baker. Baker was wearing a red shirt and shorts and Townsend was wearing a brown t-shirt.
The owner of Aimco Wholesale, Mr. Don Thompson, testified the property is completely enclosed by a fence and that when he left on the evening of August 17, the gates were closed and locked.
At trial, Baker and Michael Raglin denied the charges and testified Raglin and Townsend were driving Baker to some apartments in the area, when they were pulled over by the police.

The track was released in 2005 as the third single from the preceding year's Back to Bedlam album, and topped the US and UK singles charts.

"There was one song that was force-fed down people's throats, 'You're Beautiful', and it became annoying," Blunt told Hello magazine.

(2006, 2007), who, in a number of articles has sought to promote the concept of commonism as a way to avoid the bad history of authoritarian state communism, while, at the same time, providing an antidote to centralised planning and the restrictions of private property through new forms of collective ownership. An important aspect of the notion of commonism is the way in which it connects with issues of technological production in the context of Open Education and Open Educational Resources. Dyer-Witheford’s most significant work to date has been Cyber-Marx: Cycles and Circuits of Struggle in High Technology Capitalism (1999). In this book he sets out the ways in which postmodern capitalism has extended beyond the factory to permeate all of social life, particularly through the digitalised circuitsthe commodity, the cellular form of a society beyond capital is the common. A commodity is a good produced for sale, a common is a good produced, or conserved, to be shared. The notion of a commodity, a good produced for sale, presupposes private owners between whom the exchange occurs. The notions of the common presupposes collectivities – associations and assemblies – within which sharing is organised. If capitalism presents itself as an immense heap of commodities, commonism is a multiplication of commons. (Dyer-Witheford, 2007)

The emphasis here is on the difference between the production of goods for sale, and the production of goods to be shared as a public good. In each case the emphasis is on forms of ownership and sharing. Dyer-Witheford (2007) argues that the moment


– that coordinate the conversion of further resources into expanded commons’ (Dyer-Witheford, 2007). The focus is very much on exchange relations rather than searching for more substantive underlying levels of social determinations in the ways in which social relations are produced.

With its focus on exchange rather than production, commonism not only replays the consumerist limits of the Open Education and Open Educational Resources movement, but also, ironically, is in danger of replicating the forms of social regulation it is attempting to avoid: Socialism. If Socialism is ‘the collective ownership of the means of production and economic planning in an industrialised context’ (Postone, 1993: 7), then commonism looks very much like the latest form of socialist society. Notwithstanding the fact that commonism attempts to privilege one form of planningbetween the two identities of 'idol' and 'rapper.' They do sing about the differences in themselves before and after debut, but another interesting part is their frank portrayal of the emotions the two members feel regarding the process of changing the identity of BTS from 'hip-hop idol' to the more trendy 'popstar' or 'idol star.'In actuality, some also explain that the important combination of the idol genre and its complete opposite, hip-hop, began in the 2010s. The appearance of the 'hip-hop' genre in the idol market represents a new degree of growth reference. The history of endlessly worrying about being a person who used to look down on idols, but is now in the process of becoming a top-tier idol, is being recorded as a reference of growth


floating above Korean sensibilities, then Suga's tracks are adsorb them.* Even in BTS' albums, he has expressed several times through lyrics that he was born in Daegu and that he started making music in that place. It contains an attitude of identifying his sense of self with the base of his life, and as if intending to prove this mindset, he includes himself on every track and used only sources made by Korean writers and DJs. (The exception is "Intro: DT sugA," which samples James Brown's "It's a Man's World," but this is more to bring a fierce emotion into stark relief than to add the originality of so-called 'foreign hip-hop.') Being able to feel an atmosphere similar to the unrefined sound commanded by past Korean rappers alsopoints is large. When you reach the middle point of the mixtape the emotions reach a climax, and at this point there are often moments in which both flow and pronunciation are shaky. For example, on the 6th track, "Joke," Rap Monster's emotions exceed the natural energy of the track. As a situation arises in which the bass rhythm, beat and pronunciation are all buried at once, only the 'fast rapping' stands out, and it becomes an opposite effect of losing interest in the message being conveyed. A weakness like the above makes something somewhat regretful out of the satisfaction given by a trendy piece of work.Meanwhile, Suga is more reminiscent of a batter who just freely hits the ball without any regard for his batting average. The


tracks themselves already possess an overflowing sense of collision, and the rapping also reacts to that with a corresponding energy. There's a nervous vitality that is more than enough to express an unstable psychological state, and it all coincides with the rough wording to evoke a pleasant feeling. But excepting the skit, from the start to the 8th track, that wholly-disgorging method of delivery is somewhat burdensome. The rapping cornered into strong-stronger-strongest, following the flow of the tracks, is combined into a elements of a story of coming gradually closer to the abyss, but this kind of approach has a strong possibility of exhausting the listener both acoustically and psychologically. In particular the 7th track, "The Last," evokes a considerable feeling of fatigue. In the lines that recollecta member and, above and beyond that, a type of honest storytelling. Also, although the self-confidence that can be seen from the batter who does what he pleases is sometimes excessive, it gives rise to a deep internal resonance. This is the greatest strength of Suga's mixtape.I recommend Rap Monster's mixtape's 1st track "Voice" and Suga's mixtape's 5th track "724248" as the tracks that most clearly show the temperature difference between these two people. Both reminisce on past times, but the method and mood they use to express this are completely different. Rap Monster, who mixes his incredible strengths as a rapper with his yearning for originality, and Suga who personally created a track that contains the extreme energy of wanting to tell the story he wants to

This appeal is from an order of the United States District Court for the District of Kansas dismissing without a hearing appellant's petition for writ of habeas corpus.  The petition was denied for failure to show exhaustion of available state remedies.

Appellant is presently confined in the Kansas State Penitentiary.  His imprisonment began when he was sentenced by the District Court of Labette County, Kansas, to a term of


10 to 30 years after a plea of guilty to the crime of grand larceny entered September 5, 1952.  Subsequently, on November 15, 1954, in the District Court of Leavenworth County, Kansas, appellant entered pleas of guilty to charges of attempting to escape from the penitentiary and first degree murder.  He was sentenced for these crimes to five years and life imprisonment, respectively.  His petition for writ of habeas corpus was directed initially against the proceedings involving the grand larceny charge, alleging improper sentence.  When the respondent in opposing the granting of the writ pointed out that appellant would not in any event be entitled to release because of the subsequent sentences, appellant amended his petition to include an attack upon the escape andmurder sentences.  As to these he alleges the guilty pleas were made as the result of coercion and lack of assistance of counsel at critical stages of the proceedings.

A motion to vacate the Labette County sentence was filed by the appellant on May 19, 1964, pursuant to K.S.A. 60-1507, which was denied.  An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court of Kansas from the orcer denying the motion and was pending at the time the petition for writ of habeas corpus was filed in the United States District Court on October 4, 1965.  No action up to that time had been taken by the appellant in the state courts with respect to the Leavenworth County sentences.  In these circumstances it is clear that the


A case of primary hyperparathyroidism accompanying multiple myeloma.
We report a case of 77-year-old woman who presented with lumbago and hypercalcemia. Multiple myeloma (MM) was first diagnosed by serum protein electrophoresis and bone marrow aspiration, but intact parathyroid hormone (intactPTH) was also found to be high in the presence of persistent hypercalcemia with anorexia and nausea. After lowering serum calcium with bisphosphonate administration, parathyroidectomy was performed. Upon histologic examination, the tumor was determined to be parathyroidal chief-cell hyperplasia and the patient was treated with melphalan and prednisolone. The relationship between MM and primary hyperparathyroidism (I degree HPT) remains unknown. Although the co-existence of MM and I degree HPT was reported in 12 reports from various parts of the world, there was only 1 report in Japan.

Special


Lonnie Spiker has been selected as this year's Independent Country Music Hall of Fame Inductee. The presentation will take place at the 5th Annual Josie Music Awards Event at Dollywood.

PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. - eMusicWire -- The Independent Country Music Hall of Fame that honors those in the Independent Traditional Country Music industry has selected Lonnie Spiker as the 2019 inductee. Lonnie will be inducted during Josie Music Awards Event at Dollywood inside the DP Celebrity Theater on Saturday, September 21, 2019, by the Independent Country Music Hall of Fame owners Josie Passantino and Tinamarie Passantino.

Multi-award winning Singer/Songwriter and Bandleader Lonnie Spiker is the face of Texas-style country music in Nashville, Tennessee. He commands an incredible ability to weave honky tonk, western swing, and straight-up country music into aunique and instantly recognizable style. Growing up in Pennsylvania Coal Country, Lonnie had an AM Radio that would pick up distant stations at night. There he discovered Texas Honky Tonk Stations playing Johnny Bush, Ray Price, Mickey Gilley, Gary Stewart and many more of his heroes. These artists left an indelible mark on an impressionable youngster with a guitar. Deciding that Nashville was where he needed to be Lonnie packed up his life and his family and made the move to Music City. He spent the next several years on Broadway honing his craft as a bass player, guitarist, and singer and spending many more years writing with hit songwriters. Lonnie has taken all he has learned and fused it to create a unique and original sound that


is fresh and exciting. For Lonnie Spiker and Unapologetically Honky Tonk, the future of country music is now and their future is bright.

Josie and Tinamarie are proud to induct Lonnie Spiker into the Independent Country Music Hall of Fame this year. When asked about their goals for the Independent Country Music Hall of Fame that they now own as a part of the Josie Network of Brands here is what Josie had to say, "During a past interview I had with the late legendary Mr. Ray Price I promised to help keep traditional country music alive and the Independent Country Music Hall of Fame is one of the many ways we do that. We feel Lonnie Spiker upholds all the values and the incredible traditional country music soundthe conduct of the accused were motivated by ethnic considerations or by the migrant status of the victims,” he added, ruling out possible charges of racially-motivated hate crime.

Prosecutors said that while filming the events of 8 September at a registration camp in Roszke, László “kicked a young man in the shin with a swift kick of the sole of her right foot, and also kicked young girl around the knee with her right foot“.

Her trial will be held in the southern city of Szeged later this year. Breach of the peace carries a maximum sentence of two years in prison under Hungarian law.

The man she appeared to trip up, sending him and his son crashing to the ground, has since moved to Spain and been hired as a


football coach in Madrid.

Clarke Appointed Dean of Virginia-Maryland RCVM

Cyril R. Clarke, BVSc, MS, PhD. Dipl. ACVCP, of Corvallis, Ore., has been named dean of the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine (RCVM) at Virginia Tech, effective Oct. 1.

Clarke currently serves as professor and dean of Oregon State University's College of Veterinary Medicine. He will succeed Gerhardt G. Schurig, who announced his plans to return to the faculty after 10 years as both interim dean and dean of the veterinary college. Virginia Tech's senior vice president and provost, Mark McNamee, announced Clarke's appointment July 18.

“Cyril Clarke is a highly respected leader in veterinary medicine and education, bringing with him dean level experience and an impressive record of leadership and scholarly results. He brings perspective and experience that will serve the college, VirginiaTech, and the University of Maryland,” said McNamee. “He emerged as the leading candidate among an exceptional pool of veterinary college and school leaders, and is joining a passionate and accomplished team of administrators, faculty, staff, and students. I look forward to working with him to further enhance the strategic goals of the college.”

Clarke, a native of Johannesburg, South Africa, will serve as the fourth dean of the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine. He said of his new position, "The college has established a distinguished record of accomplishment in veterinary education, delivery of clinical and diagnostic services across a wide range of clinical specialties, and biomedical research in comparative health sciences. It is particularly well positioned to advance translational medicine and the concept of One Health, which


recognizes the close linkage between animal and public health. The partnership involving two land-grant universities provides an excellent opportunity for further development of innovative and collaborative programs that meet the veterinary educational and animal health needs of Virginia and Maryland. I am excited to be given the opportunity to lead the college in its next phase of development."

A diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Clinical Pharmacology, Clarke was a faculty member at Oklahoma State University from 1987 to 2007, where he also served as a department head and associate dean for academic affairs in the College of Veterinary Medicine. In 2007, he assumed the position of Lois Bates Acheson Dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine at Oregon State University. He also serves as a professor ofpharmacology in the college's Department of Biomedical Sciences.

Clarke holds leadership positions in several professional organizations. He currently serves as a member of the board of directors for the Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges, serves on the AAVMC Strategic Planning Committee, and chairs its Data Committee. He is a member of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Research, Extension, Education, and Economics Advisory Board and a past president of the American College of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics.

Clarke has been honored with the Pfizer Award for Research Excellence and the Oregon Veterinary Medical Association's President's Award, in addition to having been recognized with a Certificate of Excellence in Teaching.

He has been awarded over 40 research grants and contracts, including serving as principal investigator or co-principal investigator on more than


$2.2 million in awards. He has directed six graduate theses and served on an additional 26 master's and PhD advisory committees. He has over 68 refereed publications and has given numerous presentations at national and international meetings.

Clarke continues to teach clinical pharmacology to veterinary students and has a professional interest in instructional methodology. His research has focused on interactions between bacteria, antibacterial agents, and host defenses; drug disposition and pharmacokinetics; and biosensor technology development.

He received a bachelor of veterinary sciences degree from the University of Pretoria, South Africa, in 1981 and a PhD in veterinary medical sciences from Louisiana State University in 1987. He obtained a master's degree in higher education from Oklahoma State University in 2000.

A 72-year-old man has died after his three-wheeled Suzuki motorcycle came off the road and hit a tree near Corhampton in Hampshire. The pensioner from Waterlooville was pronounced dead at the scene after the crash at 1.20pm on Beacon Hill Lane towards Warnford.

Sergeant Darren Ord from Hampshire Police said: 'The man was riding as part of an organised ride-out this afternoon when, for some reason, his vehicle left the road and collided with a tree.

'We are investigating the cause of the collision but there is nothing to suggest at this time that the riding was speeding or driving dangerously.'

Hatten said the new 40,000-square-foot gym will go up on 4 acres of the prime site. The rest of the land could be sold or developed later.

La Camarilla has several tennis and other sport courts and a pool, but those will go away when the gym is redeveloped.

makes up the NIT’s top seeds.

A few mid-majors are also trying to walk a delicate tightrope when it comes to bracket qualification. Once again, the Southern Conference is one of the best mid-major conferences in college basketball. They have three teams in the top 80 of KenPom: East Tennessee State, Furman and UNC Greensboro. Last year, the Buccaneers were part of a four-team race that also included Wofford. ETSU went 13-5 in the SoCon and was perplexingly shut out of the NIT. This season, Steve Forbes has his team on top of the conference, which could lead to an automatic NIT bid, if necessary. Of course, In a just world ETSU would be trying to round out a profile for a shot at an NCAA at-large, but the1, 1981, and continuously thereafter up to and including the date of the filing of this motion, the defendant, Gilbert L. Dozier, willfully and knowingly did combine, conspire, confederate and agree together with persons known and unknown to commit the following offenses against the United States:
1. To corruptly endeavor to influence, obstruct and impede the due administration of justice in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1503 and 2, and
2. To devise a scheme and artifice to defraud the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana, the United States of America and the citizens of the United States of America, by placing or causing to be placed in an authorized depository for mail matter, a letter dated February 28, 1982, addressed to Mr.


Camille F. Gravel, Jr., 780 North, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1341 and 2.
The government's motion then sets forth eleven overt acts which were allegedly committed by Dozier and others working in concert with him. These acts generally charge that Dozier, acting with others whom he paid substantial sums of money, influenced a juror to write a letter to Dozier's attorneys and to the trial judge which would falsely allege juror misconduct during the course of the trial.
The government further charged in its motion that Dozier violated his probation by asking Huey Martin to burglarize the office of Ron Menville and to have an unknown person killed.[7]
In response to the government's charges, Dozier filed a motion to stay and a motionmore than sufficient to support a decision to revoke his probation. There was no doubt that Dozier actively participated in the plan to get Mrs. Sanders to write a letter alleging jury misconduct. This planning began in November or December of 1981 when Dozier and Martin entered into discussions to influence one or more jurors who served on the jury which convicted Dozier. Large sums of money were paid by Dozier in an attempt to influence the juror. Most of this money went to Martin and George Davis, who acted as an informer for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It is clear that Dozier wanted the juror to write a letter to the Court at any costs. The sums of money promised by Dozier to Martin and Davis


for their work in fixing the jury are substantial. The tapes, photographs and other exhibits introduced into evidence leave little doubt that Dozier was an active participant in these criminal acts. Not only did Dozier have many discussions with Martin regarding the manner and method of obtaining the false letter from a juror, but Dozier also supplied Martin with a list of the jurors who served on the jury, including an alternate juror. Dozier left the name of one juror off the list because he apparently had already begun to work on that juror. Money was paid to Martin under the guise of royalty payments. Additional money and jobs were promised to Martin in the future. Dozier questioned Martin closely regarding the efforts that were being made toof 1986, John Fountain, Director of Marketing of Slender You, telephoned Lawrence Wisser ("Wisser"), President and owner of Wisser and Co., concerning the possibility of Slender You hiring an advertising and public relations service. After submitting a letter to the Chief Executive Officer of Slender You, Wisser and Co. was invited to submit a proposal to obtain Slender You's advertising and/or public relations business.
Following Wisser's conversation with Fountain, Wisser telephoned Burton in Connecticut and asked whether she would be interested in performing public relations work as an independent contractor on the "Slender You" account if Wisser and Co. were retained by Slender You. Burton indicated that she was interested in Wisser's proposal.
Throughout late fall of 1986, Wisser and Co. researched issues concerning Slender You's business and developed an


18 page proposal which it submitted to Slender You in conjunction with a presentation by Wisser in early December, 1986. Burton was not involved in the development of the proposal at this stage.
In March, 1987, Fountain asked Wisser to submit a second, more detailed proposal for final decision. Burton, working from her home in Oklahoma, helped draft this second proposal to Slender You. In April 1987, Burton assisted Wisser at an oral presentation in which Wisser described public relations work that Wisser and Co. could perform for Slender You. Slender You accepted Wisser and Co.'s offer to provide public relations services for at least one year, and agreed on costs.
While still in Tennessee, Wisser and Burton reached tentative agreement on the terms of Burton's engagement by Wisser andCo. for work on the Slender You Account. In a subsequent phone conversation initiated by Burton in Oklahoma to Wisser in New York, one term of the agreement was modified so that Burton would be paid two-thirds of the monthly retainer that Wisser and Co. was to receive from Slender You, rather than one-half of the retainer, as originally discussed. The final terms of the agreement between Wisser and Co. and Burton were confirmed in a letter to Burton dated April 17, 1987. It was agreed, among other things, that all work produced by Burton would be shown to Wisser and Co. before it was given to Slender You.
Between April and July of 1987, Burton worked on the Slender You account from her offices in Oklahoma City. Burton


also made several trips to Slender You's offices in Tennessee, and traveled once to New England in connection with her work for Slender You. She did not travel to New York in connection with the Slender You account, but was in frequent contact with Wisser and Co. via telephone and telefax ("fax").
On July 21, 1987, Burton wrote a letter to Lawrence Wisser informing him that she was terminating her work for Wisser and Co. on the Slender You account. Six days later, Slender You notified Wisser and Co. that it was terminating its public relations contract with Wisser and Co. Apparently, Slender You hired Burton in place of Wisser and Co.
On February 16, 1988, Wisser and Co. filed suit against Slender You for breach of contract and tortiouspurposefully avail herself of the privilege of conducting activities in New York, and thus was not transacting business in this state within the meaning of § 302(a)(1).
In addition to the phone calls and faxes, Wisser & Co. argues that Burton was transacting business in New York based on the fact that as part of her duty to publicize Slender You in the media, Burton had made calls to magazines headquartered in New York. These calls are subject to the same analysis as her calls to Wisser & Co. and do not subject her to jurisdiction in New York.
Finally, Burton sent her work to Wisser and Co. in New York for comments and editing, and received payment originating in New York. Still, Burton's work was not performed in New
