Paris (AFP) - Lawyers for French carmaker Renault have criticised their Japanese alliance partner Nissan for its handling of an internal probe into the Carlos Ghosn scandal, a Sunday newspaper has reported.

In a letter to Nissan dated January 19, the lawyers said they had "serious concerns about the methods used" by the company and its legal team, including the way they treated some Renault employees, according to France's Le Journal du Dimanche.

Former head of the alliance Ghosn is being held in Japan on charges he under-reported millions of dollars in pay as head of Nissan.

"Renault has gathered sufficient evidence to understand and regret the methods used by Nissan and its lawyers to seek interviews with Renault employees through the Japanese public prosecutor's office," they said.

Nissan was seeking "evidenceto support allegations against Carlos Ghosn after his arrest" and failed to consult its French partner, according to the newspaper.

The firm also tried to search Ghosn's apartments in Brazil, Lebanon and the Netherlands without informing Renault, the letter added.

A Nissan spokesman told AFP on Sunday that the letter which they received weeks ago has "already been reviewed and fully addressed in a series of verbal and written responses from Nissan's external attorneys."

"The communications in question do not reflect the current state of discussions with Renault and its lawyers," said Nissan spokesman Nicholas Maxfield.

"Nissan... has always welcomed an open and direct dialogue with its partners to help uncover relevant facts", he added.

The executive's arrest in November has exposed rifts between Renault and Nissan, which some analysts say was bristling

Soviet Night Witches - Female Pilots of WWII

"Night Witches" is the English translation of Nachthexen, a World War IIGerman nickname (Russian Ночные ведьмы, Nochnye Vedmy) for the women military aviators of the 588th Night Bomber Regiment, known later as the 46th "Taman" Guards Night Bomber Aviation Regiment, of the Soviet Air Forces. Though women were initially barred from combat, Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin issued an order on October 8, 1941 to deploy three women's air force units, including the 588th regiment.[1] The regiment, formed by Colonel Marina Raskova and led by Major Yevdokia Bershanskaya, wasThe Opening Bell 12-09-16: Market wrap up for the first week of December and looking towards holiday travel with Rick Seaney

A century-old lookout tower which, at its peak, has stunning views across Cheddar Gorge will officially reopen after a £100,000 restoration.

The 14m-tall Lookout Tower at the top of Jacob's Ladder was closed to the public in September 2017 for vital repair work to be completed by Longleat, who owns and operates Cheddar Gorge & Caves.

The tower will be reopened by Viscount Weymouth, Ceawlin Thynn, who is also the chief executive of Longleat Enterprises at around 11am tomorrow (Friday) following the two-year-long works.

People will be able to climb the steps of the tower and take in the views across the Mendip plateau all the way to Glastonbury Tor and Exmoor.

Operations manager at Cheddar Gorge & Caves, Leon Troake, said: "TheLookout Tower is an iconic part of Cheddar and has a rich and fascinating history dating back more than 100 years.

"I am delighted we are able to re-open it to visitors following this complicated and logistically daunting restoration programme as it provides a fantastic opportunity to see the gorge in its wider geographical context.

"It's also a fitting reward for having managed to make your way up all 274 steps of Jacob's Ladder."

In addition to replacing sections of steel, the restoration team also shot-blasted the tower, replaced thousands of bolts and repainted the entire structure.

As part of the restoration work, a team of builders had to ferry more than three tonnes of replacement steelwork as well as 35 tonnes of scaffolding up to the cliff top.

The work is part


of Longleat's ongoing commitment to invest and improve the visitor experience both above and below the ground at the tourist attraction.

The tower, which was originally made of wood, first opened to visitors in the summer of 1908 when it was known as the White Tower.

It was part of a series of attractions leased by eccentric entrepreneur Rowland Pavey.

In 1920, it was sold by the fifth Marquess of Bath to Rowland's wife, Lottie Pavey, for £1,100.

The wooden tower remained in use until 1936 when it was replaced by a wrought iron tower.

It was eventually purchased back by the Longleat Estate, along with Jacob's Ladder and Pavey's Cave following the death of Lottie in 1967.BELICHICK WILL COACH IN HIS 12TH SUPER BOWL OVERALL

                                                1
        Mr. King was working as a firefighter for the City of Charleston, and participating in a
training exercise when he suffered a heat event on September 8, 2007. He was treated overnight
at the hospital and released. On September 18, 2007, the claims administrator issued an order
which disallowed the following


additional compensable components had resolved at the time of
discharge, noting that he had no prior symptoms of bradycardia. The City of Charleston
maintains that the bradycardia associated with the heat event on September 8, 2007, had resolved
when he was discharged from the hospital, and that the continued bradycardia from which he
now suffers is not related to the compensable injury.

        The Board of Review held that the preponderance of the evidence established that the
persistent bradycardia is not the result of Mr. King’s work-related injury, and should not be
included as a compensable component in the claim. The Board of Review noted that neither
cardiologist, Dr. McCowan nor Dr. Wall, found a causal connection between the compensable
injury on September 8, 2007, and the continued bradycardia. TheOn the anniversary of its deadly takeover of the aid flotilla to Gaza, in which nine Turkish activists died in a confrontation with navy commandos, Israel is preparing to block the next flotilla as well.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel prefers a diplomatic move to thwart the flotilla expected at the end of June, but if necessary would exercise force against anyone who tries to disobey the navy's orders and head to Gaza's shore.

The Israel Navy has held takeover drills and mobilized reserve combatants, on the assumption the large number of vessels (about 15 ) planning to take part in the flotilla will require reinforcements. The preparations include intelligence


surveillance, based mainly on open communications and Internet sites.

The navy is focusing on riot-control measures this time, saying they will use force as a last resort.

Israeli defense sources said recently that despite addressing flaws in the previous flotilla takeover, there is no alternative to taking over the boats and protesters by force - barring an agreement that would cancel the flotilla.

Former Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi testified before the Turkel committee investigating the flotilla and said that if necessary, sniper fire would be used to take down violent protesters. This would prevent face-to-face clashes that hold a greater risk to soldiers' lives.

The Turkel committee in February published the first part of its report, which on the whole justifies Israel's position and conduct. The report upholds Israel's argument thatit was permitted to impose a blockade on Gaza and exercise force to prevent uncoordinated ships' entry. Two foreign observers took part in writing the report.

The committee is still hearing testimonies regarding the way Israel investigates warfare incidents.

State Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss is expected soon to publish his own report on the flotilla. Lindenstrauss examined various aspects, from ministerial and military decisions during the preparations for the flotilla to presenting Israel's position abroad.

Immediately after the flotilla incident Israel changed its position dramatically regarding the amount and extent of goods allowed into the Gaza Strip. Egypt's decision to reopen the Rafah border crossing as of last weekend removes the rest of the coordinated siege both states had imposed on Gaza.

Based roughly on the story of The Count of Monte Cristo? But given that the action in Spirit takes place on three different worlds, two of which are alien, as well as in a space station shared by all the races in the story, the book certainlywho can say?) My fading sense of Pres. Reagan was that he had at least a few humble bones. Both parties’ candidates these days would do well to show some humility along the way.

Yancey also speaks of lasting purpose and belief in the hereafter:

In one of the great ironies of history, Islam has co-opted the word martyr. Early Christians prevailed over Rome because they opted for eternal rewards instead of mere physical survival. The blood of the martyrs was the seed of the church. Nowadays you hear very little talk in the west about eternal rewards and much talk about techniques to keep death at bay. . . .

In a refreshing change from the large corporates there was no loose article policy at all, as evidenced by several passengers taking on-ride selfies with their mobile phones.

Children's Park Rechytsa 4th July 2017 Our second planned stop for the day was at a riverside boardwalk in the town of Rechytsa, home to a Wiegand-built alpine coaster. Our expectations were not particularly high given that the approach road was across perfectly flat terrain, but we figured that it was worth a quick look. We were briefly cheered when silver-coloured track came into view, but moments later it became apparent that Alpine Hills was out of service. The condition of the signage in the station suggested rather strongly that the advertised technical fault had been ongoing for some time, an impression reinforced by the various weeds growing through the track. The ride currently holds the dubious honour of being


Israel Demolishes House in East Jerusalem

Wafa – Israeli police Tuesday demolished a house that belongs to a Palestinian family east of the old city of Jerusalem under the pretext of building without a permit, said witnesses.

They told WAFA that about 20 army vehicles and bulldozers demolished the house located in Hardoub area in At-Tur, a neighborhood east of the old city of Jerusalem, which is very close to the Apartheid wall and isolated away from the rest of the houses in the area.

House owner, Bassam Jabari said that the two-storey building, which his family has been living in for over four years, houses 11 residents.

He said, “The army demolishes our housesas "government of, by and for the people", American democracy was always government OVER everyone, BY a small wealthy class, and (with an occasional exception) FOR these same few.

And it was never meant to be anything else, as James Madison, the most influential of our "Founding Fathers", admitted in describing the goals of those who wrote the Constitution in 1789 as trying to check the leveling instincts of the majority, who had little or no property, while retaining "the spirit and form of popular government". Should anyone miss the point, John Jay, one of Madison's co-conspirators (the convention that drafted the Constitution was engaging in an illegal act against the then government of the United States) declaimed that "the people who owned the country ought to govern it".


so-called "Patriot Act" and to carry out an economic program that favors corporations and the rich as never before. With few exceptions, the media and the official opposition, the Democratic Party, both of which are also owned by the rich, continue to make believe that George W. Bush is really the President. Meanwhile, despite all the bad reviews, nothing is being done to fix the electoral system to keep 2008 from becoming a replay of 2000 and 2004. (See our DEMOCRACY LIBRARY, section II.)

Abroad, our illegitimate government has become the major danger to world peace, having started two unnecessary wars (at least one of which was based on lies) and threatened several others. Economically, by bullying and bribing weaker nations to adopt free market economies, the rapidly growinggap between America's rich and poor (including the misnamed "middle class")—with the accompanying erosion of decent paying, full-time jobs and social benefits—has been reproduced virtually everywhere. While in the environment, the American government's unwillingness to even admit global warming, let alone act upon it (other than to make it worse), has raised the stakes to the point where the very future of our species is in jeopardy.

Why does the lack of real democracy in the United States lead to a worsening economic plight as well as a fall in the quality of life and in personal security for most people throughout the globe? Because the great majority of the American people, who have no interest in pursuing the policies that produce these results, don't rule. While the small

Bloc Québécois Leader Gilles Duceppe says he'd be in favour of invoking the notwithstanding clause in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to buttress legislation banning niqabs at citizenship ceremonies.

"I'd be for introducing the clause if ever such a law was found to contravene the charter," he said Tuesday.

The constitutional measure was put in place "precisely for this kind of situation," he added.

When the Conservatives tabled legislation last June to ban the wearing of niqabs at citizenship ceremonies, they said it respected the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

That legislation ultimately died on the order paper after the federal election was called, but the Conservatives have promised — if re-elected — they would introduce and adopt legislation banning face coverings during citizenship oaths within the first 100 days.

A FederalWhat Happens When The Government Shuts Down 94 Percent of the EPA

Tuesday morning, 94 percent of the Environmental Protection Agency's 16,000 workers were furloughed due to the government shutdown.

"They basically lock things up, batten things down, which takes a few hours, then a vast majority of people are sent home," says consultant Dina Kruger, who worked at the EPA during the 1996 government shutdown.

To make sense of what it means that over 15,000 EPA employees are now sitting at home instead of working, consider how many facets of the environment the agency has its hands in: The EPA monitors air quality, regulates pesticides and waste, cleans up hazardous chemical spills, and ensures that people have safe drinking water, among other things.

An Omaha Public Schools parent meeting devolved into shouting and violence when abstinence-only advocates accused district officials of not being upfront about a new sex education curriculum.

According to Jay Irwin, a University of Nebraska at Omaha professor in attendance who wrote a detailed description of what happened, there were about 1,000 people in attendance at the Tuesday night meeting and people opposed to the optional curriculum known as comprehensive sex education, or CSE, wore red stickers. Video from the meeting shows total chaos as parents stand and shout about purity.

In Germany, the use of heat pumps is funded subject to the fulfilment of certain criteria. As a result, domestic heat pumps using natural coolants already enjoy a market share of five percent (see German Environment Agency, in German). Heat pumps are installed in 30 percent of new builds (see Federal Statistics Office, in German). As a result, German companies are experienced in the installation and maintenance of all types of heat pump technologies.

right person to lead our club.”– Redskins owner Dan Snyder

That's what it says on Bruce Allen's bio in big, bold letters on the Redskins' website.

Allen was hired to be the Redskins' GM at the tail end of the 2009 season, and he has been the head personnel decision maker ever since, save for the short tenure of Scot McCloughan, who Allen helped oust after two season (2015-2016) with the team. In Allen's eight full seasons with the team, the Redskins' record is 52-75-1. That would be a winning percentage of 0.410.

On the "bumbling moron" front, Allen doesn't even know Kirk Cousins' name.

I mean, it's not like he just misspoke, or got tongue-tied or something. He called him "Kurt" SIX TIMES, lol.

Cousins ultimately bolted in free agency, for nothingmore than a likely future compensatory pick in between the third and fourth rounds of the 2019 NFL Draft, after the Redskins botched his contract negotiations for years.

On the "snake" front, McCloughan referred to Allen as a "politician" when asked to describe him in one word.

Much like many a present politician, people don't trust Allen, notably agents, who voted Allen the least trustworthy decision maker in the NFL in a poll conducted by USA Today:

The Redskins were also voted one of the five least prepared teams in contract negotiations.

If the Redskins have a good season, then fans will undoubtedly be happy. Of course, that just means that Allen will continue to keep his job beyond all reason, when he should have been gone a long time ago.

2) The


1999 (Traded to Redskins for a 6th-round pick): Peete played in three games for the Redskins. He had 17 pass attempts before moving on to Oakland the following year.

• Bobby Hoying, 1999 (Traded to Raiders for a 6th-round pick): Hoying had seven pass attempts for Oakland over two years before he retired in 2001.

• A.J. Feeley, 2004 (Traded to the Dolphins for a 2nd-round pick in 2005): Feeley saw action in just 11 games in Miami, posting a horrendous 61.7 QB rating. Midway through the 2005 season, the Dolphins traded Feeley to the San Diego Chargers for Cleo Lemon.

• Kelly Holcomb, 2007 (Traded to the Vikings for a 6th-round pick in 2009): Holcomb played in three games for the Vikings in 2007, posting a 73.1 QB rating. Heretired the following offseason.

• Donovan McNabb, 2010 (Traded to the Redskins for a 2nd-round pick in 2010 and a 4th-round pick in 2011): McNabb played one year in Washington, posting a QB rating of 77.1. He was demoted to the third-string by Mike Shanahan before the Redskins shipped him off to the Minnesota Vikings for a sixth-round pick the following offseason.

• Kevin Kolb, 2011 (Traded to the Cardinals for a 2nd-round pick and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie): Kolb ended up starting just 14 games for Arizona, posting a QB rating of 83.2 in two years there. He suffered a myriad of injuries, including turf toe, a concussion, and a rib injury, before the team asked him to take a pay cut. When the Cardinals and Kolb could not come to


an agreement on a restructured deal, they cut him.

Gross.

In 2010, the McNabb trade (McNabb was 33 at the time) blew up on the Redskins spectacularly. Eight years later, they not only traded with Reid for another 33-year quarterback in Smith, they also handed him a contract extension worth more than $70 million in guaranteed money.

Smith had good numbers in 2017, and he's better than Cousins, in my opinion, but there's perhaps some logic in the notion that a mobile quarterback with below-average arm strength may not age well. Smith turned 34 in May.

Clearly, the Redskins felt that they were not in a good enough position to select one of the better quarterback prospects in the 2018 NFL Draft at 13th overall. And, well, they were right, as fouropposing defenses, their offense took a hit, and their pursuit of a suitable replacement is understandable. However, paying a wide receiver $8 million per season with Richardson's track record is laughable.

On the other side of the field will be third-year pro Josh Doctson, the Redskins' first round pick in 2016. Through two seasons, Doctson has 37 catches on 84 targets, for a horrendous 44 percent catch rate. Recent history of first round receivers says that Doctson is much more likely to continue to be ineffective than he is to suddenly start lighting up the stat sheet.

Doctson has 568 receiving yards in his short NFL career. The following is a list of wide receivers selected in the first round of the draft since 2000 who had less than 850


530 yards and 3 TDs per season.

• Sylvester Morris, Chiefs: Nothing. Morris never played in the NFL again.

• R. Jay Soward, Jaguars: Nothing. Soward never played in the NFL again.

• David Terrell, Bears: Terrell played three more years in the league, catching 85 passes for 1,060 yards, and 2 TDs.

• Santana Moss, Jets: Moss had a long, productive career, mostly with the Redskins, catching 700 passes for 9,810 yards and 62 TDs over the rest of his career.

• Freddie Mitchell, Eagles: Mitchell played two more years, catching 57 passes for 875 yards and 4 TDs.

• Charles Rogers, Lions: Rogers played one more season, catching 14 passes for 197 yards and 1 TD.

• Reggie Williams, Jaguars: Williams played three more seasons, catching 127 passes for 1,609 yards and 17TDs.

• Michael Jenkins, Falcons: Jenkins caught 311 passes for 3,800 yards and 22 TDs over the rest of his seven seasons, mostly as a forgettable No. 2 receiver.

• Rashaun Woods, 49ers: Nothing. Woods never played in the NFL again.

• Troy Williamson, Vikings: Williamson played three more seasons, catching 26 passes for 304 yards and 2 TDs.

• Mike Williams, Lions: Williams played three more seasons, catching 90 passes for 1,077 yards and 3 TDs.

• Craig Davis, Chargers: Davis played two more seasons, catching 27 passes for 311 yards and 1 TD.

• Darrius Heyward-Bey, Raiders: DHB had a good third season, catching 64 passes for 975 yards and 4 TDs. Over the rest of his career since, he has averaged 17 catches for 237 yards and 2 TDs per season.


He is somehow still in the league.

• Demaryius Thomas, Broncos: In each of his next five seasons, Thomas surpassed 1,000 yards, averaging 98 catches, 1,374 yards and 9 TDs per season, before having that string snapped in 2017.

• Jonathan Baldwin, Chiefs: Baldwin played one more season, catching three passes for 28 yards and no TDs.

• A.J. Jenkins, 49ers: Jenkins played one more season, catching nine passes for 93 yards and no TDs.

• Tavon Austin, Rams: In his next two seasons, Austin caught 123 passes for 1,029 yards and 8 TDs. The Rams traded him to the Cowboys for a sixth round pick.

• Kevin White, Bears: White's career has been destroyed by injuries so far. In his third season with the Bears, he had two catches in one game.He's on his last chance in Chicago this year.

• Nelson Agholor, Eagles: Agholor's first two seasons were filled with egregious drops and mental errors. In year three after a move to the slot, he figured things out, catching 62 passes for 768 yards and 8 TDs.

• Breshad Perriman, Ravens: Perriman missed his rookie season, and has shown bad hands in the two seasons thereafter. He might not make the Ravens' roster this year.

• Phillip Dorsett, Colts: In his third season, Dorsett was traded to the Patriots. He had 12 catches and no TDs in 2017.

Can Doctson buck the trend? Maybe, but it's more likely he'll continue to disappoint.

5) Is Jordan Reed done?

Reed has suffered SIX concussions in his football career, and he has not played all 16 games


in any season, missing 28 games in six years in the pros.

While he stayed concussion-free in 2017, he missed 10 games due to toe and hamstring injuries.

Reed had a great season in 2015, when he had 87 catches for 952 yards and 11 TDs. He looked like one of the best tight ends in the league. The Redskins would probably love to build their passing attack around him, seeing as he's clearly their most talented receiver. Unfortunately for the Redskins, they can't trust that he'll be available from week to week.

6) The Redskins lack impact players

Of the Cowboys, Giants, and Redskins, it was hardest to come up with 10 good reasons why the Redskins won't be good this year. In other words, in my view, they have thefewest glaring holes in the division, you know, aside from the Eagles.

The downside? They don't really have any major impact players either.

Trent Williams is a great left tackle, although great left tackles are a dime a dozen in the NFC East.

On defense, Ryan Kerrigan is a really, really good player who is worthy of his three Pro Bowl nods. He'll get his 10-12 sacks and three forced fumbles every year, and there isn't a team in the league that wouldn't want to have him. He's the kind of guy who will kill a rookie making his first appearance in the NFL, like he did to Halapoulivaati Vaitai in 2016 or Adam Bisnowaty in 2017, but those dominant performances aren't there as much against legitimate pro players with experience.

And


that's more a result of his health, and not his play, which was solid last season. The team likes Dunbar, and early OTA reports suggest he is playing well. But it's far from a guarantee that he's an upgrade over Breeland.

Fuller, meanwhile, had a breakout season and whoever replaces him (likely Scandrick) will almost certainly be a significant downgrade. Scandrick (now 31) was bad last year, and worse, he isn't always available. His last four seasons:

2014: Suspended four games for PEDs, with the suspension later being lifted because his use of amphetamines counted under the substance abuse policy (not the PED policy), where it would take multiple offenses to be suspended. Anyway, he ended up missing two games before that suspension was lifted.

2015: Missed the entire season withSome sad news to share today as Defiant Development, makers of Hand of Fate have announced they are "ceasing Development" and the team are "looking for new roles".

Shared on Facebook and Twitter, the Australian studio is going into what they call "caretaker mode" just to support their existing games with nothing new to come now. In the post, they mentioned how the games market has changed in many ways in the 9 years they've been around, sadly though they've not been able to keep up with all the changes.

They also shared a teaser of what could have been their next title, named "A World In My Attic" and it actually looked really good. Sadly, it will likely never be released:

Very tough times to be an indie game developer.


Craig Mazin, the man behind HBO's brilliant Chernobyl miniseries, spent years making sure every piece of his story was brain-bleedingly accurate. From the casting to the props to the literal wallpaper, Mazin built a world that was a meticulous and terrifying recreation of 1980s reality. Sure, the series is a landmark piece of historical narrative filmmaking and one of HBO's greatest achievements to date, but don't put away your eggbaskets just yet, everybody—because Russia is making its own version of Chernobyl now. Except, this one is apparently going to be way less focused on the truth.

Matt Gibson's Writer's Shed is Compact, Sweet, Functional & Tranquil

The Writer's Shed is the name given to a compact structure in a private garden in Melbourne. The building's interior spans across 10 square meters, boasting a homey wooden aesthetic. It was designed by local architect Matt Gibson who worked in collaboration with landscape designer Ben Scott. The two set out to facilitate a memorable and cozy ambiance, with emphasis on integrating the Writer's Shed seamlessly into the aesthetic of the garden. To do so, the partners utilized Boston ivy which is fast-growing and non-obtrusive. TheyDad’s fire department career spanned a total of 34 years, from 1960 to 1994. From 1965 to 1971, he worked at the Westlake Signal Office. During that time, box alarms were used in the metropolitan area to transmit signals that alerted the signal office of where a fire was located. During his tenure at the communications center, he found out that the callboxes were becoming obsolete and that they were removing them from the field when damaged. Dad had an idea to get a hold of an out-of-service callbox. After checking with his co-workers, he found out that he could get a callbox from the salvage yard across the street from the Fire Department repair shops. It was there that mom and dad traded a six-pack of beer


card (4173) that was used at Westlake Signal Office. This callbox, with the brass ID 4173, was located at 29th Street and Normandie Ave in Los Angeles.

Dad is very proud of his time with the LAFD. Some of his fondest memories include working at the busier stations in Los Angeles. He truly enjoyed the camaraderie and friendships he made along the way with the people he worked with. Dad finally retired in 1994 and also has two sons-in-law who have recently retired from the fire service. The future is looking bright with a grandson who is a firefighter and two more grandsons who are hopefuls. The legacy of family in the fire service lives on.

Last year Matthew Sag, Professor of Law at Loyola University Chicago School of Law, published a report titled ‘IP Litigation in United States District Courts: 1994 to 2014’. It provided a review of all IP litigation in U.S. district courts over the past two decades to include copyright, patent and trademark lawsuits.

With 2016 now upon us, Professor Sag has provided an update to include stats from last year. As can be seen from the graph below, in 2010 suits against file-sharers were almost non-existent but year on year grew to dominate all copyright cases filed in the United States.

Frasier's estate consisted of both separate and community property. His will was admitted to probate in the Washington County probate court April 8, 1960, and respondents Hal D. Frasier and John W. Frasier, Jr., were appointed executors.
The controversy involved in this cause, although not germane to the precise issues raised on appeal, arose by virtue of alternative testamentary clauses contained in the will regarding appellant's inheritance thereunder.

Las Vegas Mom accused of tying daughter to bed to face judge

NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nev. - A North Las Vegas woman is due to face a judge for the first time since she was arrested and accused of tying her 4-year-old daughter to a bed and locking her in a room in an apartment for up to 12 hours a day.

Laketha Moore is being held at the Las Vegas jail on 31 felony child abuse and neglect charges pending an appearance Friday in Las Vegas Justice Court.

North Las Vegas police say the 36-year-old Moore was arrested Tuesday when she returned to an apartment on Cheyenne Avenue and Martin Luther King Boulevard where apartment managers summoned police.

Officer Chrissie Coon says investigators think that for a least a month Moorehad been locking the girl in the apartment while she went to work and church.

Liang, speaking on the sidelines of a meeting with Huawei's British technology partners, said the company never intended to be in the eye of a political storm.

"The cyber security issue is not exclusive to just one single supplier or one single company, it is a common challenge facing the entire industry and the entire world," he said.

He said Huawei had long cooperated with Britain's National Cyber Security Centre's oversight of its technology, and it had improved its software engineering capabilities to make them the equal of competitors.

Liang said Huawei did not act on behalf of China's government in any international market.

"Despite the fact Huawei has its headquarters in China, we are actually a globallyconsider (...) but at the same time it should be a balanced decision between cyber security and economic prosperity."

Liang said he was meeting with customers rather than politicians. Huawei has signed more than 40 5G contracts, he said, 25 in Europe, 10 in the Middle East and six in Asia.

The German government, however, said there was no sign that China was offering a "no-spy" agreement of the kind that would help Huawei in its bid for contracts to build Germany's next-generation mobile networks. (Editing by Costas Pitas and Mark Heinrich)

Marvel Comics' team faces serious challenge PUBLISHING

Axel Alonso, the new editor in chief of Marvel Comics, was recalling how, about 10 years ago, when he was less experienced and recently hired by the company, he persuaded British writer Peter Milligan to take over a struggling superhero comic called "X-Force."

"We drank all night, to the degree I realized I can't go home because I'll be sick," said Alonso, a lean man of 45 with a bald head and a close-cropped beard. "We walked around all night, got breakfast the next day. I said, 'So, you're writing this.' He said, 'Yeah, I'm writing this.' "

With some wistfulness, Alonso added, "Those were the days."

MBA BY THE BAY: See how an MBA could change your life with SFGATE's interactive directory of BayArea programs.

In the year 2011, this is how the day-to-day destiny of Marvel Entertainment, the home of universally recognized characters like Spider-Man, Iron Man and the mighty Thor, and whose publishing division releases 60 to 90 comic books a month, is determined:

One day last month in the company's office in Midtown Manhattan, its top creative talent - 30 or so people, mostly male, many bald or bearded, or both - were gathered in a conference room known as the Hulk room, for what felt like the simultaneous meetings of a corporation, a television writing staff and the traders of the New York Stock Exchange.

One by one, the Marvel editors who surrounded the long conference table stepped to the front of the room and delivered rigorous but colorful PowerPoint


presentations on their coming comics, with story lines plotted out for months or years in advance: Who would join the Fantastic Four to replace the Human Torch, who fell in battle to the evil Annihilus? Who might be the new adversary for the blind vigilante Daredevil? What would Galactus, the planet-eating cosmic entity, consume next? And did anyone have a young hero ready to graduate to the X-Men?

Though the meeting could at times be rigidly precise, it had moments of spontaneity (like when Brian Michael Bendis, the author of "Marvel's Avengers," "New Avengers" and "Ultimate Spider-Man" series, observed that an enigmatic writer named TBD "has got a lot of books" assigned).

Marvel, which has produced comics in various forms since 1939, is a company that teems with talent whileand Marvel's core business faces some of the toughest challenges in its history. While its movie business thrives, its print business is contracting, and those responsible for creating its comics - a seemingly seat-of-the-pants enterprise - are more cognizant than ever of their place within a larger corporate structure.

"If comics is sick, it's not a broken arm, it's diabetes," said Tom Spurgeon, a journalist who covers the industry for the website the Comics Reporter. "There's no easy solution."

Marvel has certainly rebounded from the period in the 1990s when it sought bankruptcy protection amid a fight between the financiers Ronald Perelman - who had bought Marvel and combined it with other collectibles companies - and Carl Icahn, who sought control of it. (A third entrepreneur, Isaac Perlmutter, acquired the


company and is now Marvel's chief executive.)

The months and years Marvel's creative staff members spent fearing for their fates left them shell-shocked and uncertain of what to do in their comics. "It was incredibly frightening," said Joe Quesada, who was named Marvel's editor in chief in 2000. "It's that looking over the precipice and seeing nothing but sky, and hoping that when you jump off, you can fly."

Quesada, who last year was named Marvel's chief creative officer, said his strategy as editor had been to "focus on writers first, and then bring in the artists." The company regained its footing as it brought in authors like Bendis, Mark Millar and Ed Brubaker, recruited from rival publishers, as well as screenwriters like Joss Whedon (creator of "Buffy the VampireSlayer"). And it found best-sellers with miniseries like "House of M" (written by Bendis) and "Civil War" (by Millar) that featured almost every major superhero in the Marvel pantheon.

Marvel also benefited as movie franchises like "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" became blockbusters and brought new attention to its characters. (They also helped overshadow other movies based on Marvel characters, like "The Punisher" and "Elektra," that struggled at the box office.)

The company reached a turning point during the making of the 2008 film "Iron Man," which was produced by its own Marvel Studios in California and starred Robert Downey Jr. as the armor-clad hero. During the movie's development, Marvel invited some of its editors and writers, including Quesada and Alonso, to consult with its director, Jon Favreau. And Bendis even helped


write a post-closing-credits sequence that introduced Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, director of the spy agency SHIELD.

When "Iron Man" (released by Paramount) went on to sell $585 million in tickets worldwide, its success seemed to validate the suggestions from its publishing talent. That led to the formal creation of what Marvel calls its creative committee: Quesada, Bendis and Dan Buckley, the Marvel comics publisher, meet several times a year with Marvel studio executives to discuss film and multimedia projects.

Though Marvel's publishing side does not directly control the content of Marvel films, Kevin Feige, president of production at Marvel Studios, said the storytelling in the comics has a strong influence on the movies "because it's a hell of a lot less expensive to take a chance in aat 22 pages each." Anticipating a reader's reaction, he added: "You know what? Let's not."

A more worrisome problem, Johnston said, is a sense of "ennui amongst Marvel readers," who have become tired of the publisher's reliance on annual companywide miniseries, like "House of M" and "Civil War," to shake up the status quo in its narratives while its monthly comics advance these soap operas infinitesimally.

Spurgeon of the Comics Reporter agreed that comics fans "feel the strategy of it," and that "it's really easy for an exhaustion to set in."

Sales figures seem to bear this out: In 2006 and 2007, "Civil War," in which Iron Man and Captain America battled over whether superheroes should register their powers and identities with the government, sold nearly 300,000 copies an issue. But


last year the miniseries "Siege," in which Captain America, Iron Man and Thor were reunited, sold just over 100,000 copies an issue. (This hasn't discouraged Marvel from moving forward this year with the companywide miniseries "Fear Itself," which will emphasize Thor and Captain America.)

From the outside Marvel is buffeted by big-picture publishing crises: the closing of comics shops and bookstores, a downturn in sales lingering through the recession and the increasing threat of digital piracy.

From within, the company wrestles with narrative strategies and promotional events that will lure new or lapsed readers while trying to satisfy the hard-core fans who have followed its heroes' adventures for years, if not decades.

"We love the guys that have been here every month," said Tom Brevoort, Marvel's senior vice president for publishing,who joined the company as a college intern in 1989. "But it's not an exclusive relationship. It's an open marriage where we see and seek others as well - and as many others as we can get in."

Marvel and the industry journalists said the company's publishing business is still profitable. Johnston estimated that a comic book that sold as few as 20,000 or 30,000 copies could still make money. And while the full effects of the company's purchase by Disney are an open question, the opportunities created by the deal are potentially exciting.

"I can't even speculate," Brevoort said. "There is 'Disney on Ice.' It's not a great stretch to go, 'There will someday be "Marvel on Ice," ' whether that's 'Iron Man on Ice' or 'The Avengers on


Ice.' "

And while Marvel's editors have no hand in the struggles surrounding "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark," they were unconcerned that the musical would hurt the character or his legacy. "Spider-Man's been around longer than I've been alive," Alonso said.

Alonso works in a small office that, on a recent visit, was minimally decorated with pictures of his 8-year-old son, Tito, and a peculiar 1984 Marvel comic chronicling the life of Mother Teresa. ("I keep that so whenever anybody comes into the office, they're fooled into thinking that I'm chaste," he said.)

In January, when Alonso was elevated to the editor in chief's chair once held by Stan Lee - the venerated writer who helped create the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man and countless other enduring Marvel characters - he became onlythe third person in 15 years to hold the position, and one of the few in the company's history to gain it without tumult or corporate bloodshed.

Alonso said he lacked the chest-puffing showmanship of some of his predecessors, but he seemed to appreciate the wonderment and the obligation that come with the job.

"There's no type of fiction that comes close to comics for the layers of storytelling," he said. "This is mythology, but it's not mythology that's refined slightly over time. It's mythology that's constantly evolving."

For all that has changed about his industry, Alonso said he is still thrilled by the sight of newly published comics being delivered to his workplace, or simply receiving an e-mail from Lee congratulating him on his promotion.

Trump’s record

Donald J. Trump has campaigned on his record as a real estate developer and businessman, yet he has not made the customary disclosure of his personal tax returns, hiding behind the excuse that he’s under audit — despite the Internal Revenue Service’s assurance that any individual is free to disclose his or her returns.

At the last debate, he acknowledged not paying federal personal income taxes for years, but remained stubbornly opaque about the details. Voters deserve more transparency.

Trump has undoubtedly made a lot of money for himself and for his fine family. But his sharp business practices have hurt other business owners.

A further problem particularly associated with the delivery of semi-solid detergent compositions to a mould, is the formation of "weld lines" in the bars. Without being limited by theory, it is believed that as a material is delivered to a mould cavity, flow fronts of the material are created in the cavity as material is added and the cavity fills. Weld lines in the final bars are a result of interfaces between flow fronts of detergent material inside the mould cavity which have not blended together. Such weld lines may be visible to the consumer, and can lead to weaknesses in the bar, which may in turn lead to cracking

The latest in the the American methods of ‘copy a British TV format and adapt for an American audience’, one which networks presumably dub ‘Operation: Cannot Possibly Fail’, producers may have stumbled onto something that might not actually fail, copying a format that can be quite easily transplanted for a solid schedule-filler.

That format, surprisingly untouched by American networks to date, is prime-time variety show Saturday Night Takeaway, in the UK the most notable work of English presenting duo Ant & Dec.

The entertainment series, over two different runs on ITV, has been on-air for 11 seasons and a recent arena toursince first appearing in 2002, and will continue on early next year with its 12th run, whilst across the Atlantic in New York City, NBC will be developing their own version to air to American audiences.

Whilst it is claimed that NBC will neither have the words Ant & Dec’s or Saturday Night Takeaway in their show, nor will they be airing on Saturdays (and presumably not having much affiliation with where the ‘takeaway’ part of the title got its name), it will most likely be airing at night, with actor Neil Patrick Harris set to add to his post-Oscars presenting schedule by bringing the new format to NBC viewers.

Market Summary

Potential investors want to know if there is a market for the idea or product in which they are asked to invest. The presenter should do thorough research to lay out a detailed summary of the market, naming the competitors and the potential market share that can be attained. The presenter's in-depth understanding of the market shows the investors that the presenter has conducted research and is up to the task of penetrating the market with his idea or product.

Management Team

The presenter should highlight the experience and expertise of the management team that will be in place when the investment is made. It is imperative that the potential investors have confidence in the management team


opportunity, they will want to know the entrepreneur's exit strategy. The exit strategy should detail the method in which the investor can recoup his investment and return. Common exit strategies include an initial public offering or the sale of the business to an acquiring company. The presenter should also determine a timetable in which the venture capital investor can exit the investment. This time period may depend on the type of business that is seeking investment start-up capital.

The Van Noys, who live in Overland Park, own and operate Jess and Jim’s Steak House in Kansas City, Missouri (Martin City), which has been a family-owned and operated establishment since its inception almost 68 years ago.

Jess & Jim’s Steak House opened for business in April of 1938, by two men who were the best of friends. Jess Kincaid and Jim Wright started their business at 135th and Holmes as a small bar and grill, until the tornado in 1957 moved them to their present location at 135th and Locust.

The three intruders reportedly assaulted two people living there.

A resident of the apartment tells police he fired at a man who was robbing him.

Witnesses say they heard multiple gunshots.

Authorities say the person shot was one of the intruders, and they were taken to a local hospital.

Officers are looking for two more suspects.

The sleepless three-year-old finally managed to get his 40 winks with the help of a special sleep workshop and a banana before bed.

The various prior art shapes of vents, such as round or rectangular, are formed with a frame usually constructed of metal; the frame is constructed having parallel opposite sides joined at the corners to form a parallelepiped. The louvers extend from one wall to an opposite wall. The difficulty with prior art vents relates to the undesirable collection of water along the lower frame wall. This collection of water results in rust which eventually creates an opening in the vent wall thus permitting water to enter the dwelling wall in which the vent is mounted. Further, such prior art vent structures require the assembly of numerous elements or

They created a “human impact” map based on that information and used it to determine how to connect natural habitats in the presence of these developed areas.

After reviewing the map, the researchers found that, compared to the eastern U.S., western areas have greater temperature ranges and more natural areas allowing wildlife species in these areas to move to environments better suited to them in the presence of climate change. For example, the western part of the country has plenty of temperature variation thanks to its high, steep and cold Rocky and Sierra Nevada Mountains, which already serve as

In starting up a preconditioner, it is a common practice to initially divert the output of the preconditioner to waste, rather than passing this material into the extruder barrel.

EPA Seeks Public Comment on Allegan County Smog

CHICAGO (July 20, 2010) — U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 has proposed approval of a request from the state of Michigan to redesignate Allegan County as an attainment area for the national health-based eight-hour outdoor standard for ozone. Ground-level ozone is commonly referred to as smog.

EPA reviewed three years of complete, quality-assured, outdoor air monitoring data for 2007, 2008 and 2009 as part of the analysis to determine the area meets the standard.

EPA also proposed approval of Michigan’s plans to continue to meet the eight-hour health-based ozone standard in the area through 2021 and the motor vehicle emission budgets for Allegan County.

The proposed action was published on Tuesday, July 20, in the Federal Register. The public


cuts and the voter approval of Proposition 30.

"The additional, temporary taxes provided by Proposition 30 have combined to bring California a promising moment: the possible end of a decade of acute state budget challenges," the LAO report said.

In fact, the report floated the possibility of the state actually running a surplus of up to a billion dollars by 2014.

But no one should break out the champagne just yet.

First, use of the term "surplus" gives the state's budget-writers heartburn, since revenues fluctuate all the time.

Second, and more importantly, this glimpse of a recovery depends to an enormous degree on Gov. Brown's ability to hold the line on new spending. After years of cuts, there's a lot of pent-up demand. Everyone will have their hand out.

The last time this happened,during the dot-com boom a dozen years ago, the state spent heavily on programs including schools; reducing class size and emphasizing teacher accountability. When the bottom fell out, the spending was unsustainable.

With Democrats sewing up a super-majority in the legislature, there are no Republican hold-outs to block spending increases. Even Gov. Brown, who has vowed to exercise restraint, could find himself outflanked if Democrats show enough unity to override a veto.

The Legislative Analyst's projections of a surplus are welcome news to a Capitol weary of budget strife and stalemates. But they are likely to lead to a different kind of conflict in 2013, a budgetary civil war between Brown and his fellow Democrats.
