2.2. Universal Immunization Programme of India {#sec2dot2-medsci-06-00062}
----------------------------------------------

The Universal Immunization Programme began in India in 1985. It was an extension to the Expanded Programme for Immunization (EPI), which endeavoured to provide recommended vaccines against tuberculosis, polio, and other diseases for all Indian children. The national policy of immunization of all children during the first year of life with DPT (Diphtheria, Pertussis and Tetanus), OPV (Oral Polio Vaccine) and BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guerin)---with the series of primary vaccinations to be completed prior to the age of one---was adopted in 1978 with the launching of the EPI to increase the immunization coverage in infancy to 80%. The Ministry of Healthdestroy the domestic American economy in which ordinary people live. Globalization was the product of an economic ideology that said removing all regulation would guarantee free markets that would automatically produce maximum economic efficiencies, and consequent profit, in every realm of human activity, except war and peace. (Other priorities governed war and peace.)

Second: mindless oversimplification plus ignorance, following from collapsing public education. The latter has a cause that it has not been politically acceptable to identify: the liberation of women. In the United States before the Second World War, teaching in public (or parochial) schools was virtually the only serious work open to university-educated women. They educated America. They now have other things to do, for which we give thanks. But the nation suffers the consequences.

Another factor, which


is not trivial, is the huge and credulous audience that has been created for the political fantasies that talk radio and Fox television demagogues promulgate. A consequence of that has been the intellectual corruption of political debate and the money corruption of American political practice and government, which has placed plutocracy in the saddle, with no visible way to unseat him.

All the agents of possible change — the Congress, the national and state parties, broadcasting and recently the judiciary — are now committed to the existing system, intellectually and by personal and institutional interest. This is the visible manifestation of the national decline that is apparent inside America, as well as to those abroad.

The external manifestation of decline, in the resigned gaze of ordinary Americans, is China. PeopleShri Narendra Keshav Sawaikar, member of the 16th Lok Sabha, was one of the dignitaries who graced the 3rd Annual India Ship Management Summit, 2016. Hailing from Goa, Mr. Sawaikar has time and again championed the cause of the seafarers. Among many things, he has raised the issue of the income tax of seafarers with the Prime minister’s office, Ministry of Shipping, and ministry of finance.

He gave a brief perspective of how the government looks at some of the important issues faced by the shipping fraternity. | “The vision of the government is to give the highest priority to our waterways. The shipping ministry has come out with comprehensive strategy to deal with all the issues pertaining to the sector. As part of the Sagarmala project, an initiative


by the government of India to modernize India’s ports, more than 150 projects have already been identified at an estimated investment of around 60 billion dollars.”

Mr. Sawaikar shared the recent report on the global competitive index India which showed the biggest improvement in rankings as its competitiveness improved on several fronts including the efficiency in good market and innovation. The report released last week by the World economic forum revealed that over the last two years India has climbed 32 points in its ranking. It was ranked 55th among 114 countries in 2015-2016. It has moved to the 39th spot in the 2016-2017. “The economy has stabilized and boasts among the highest growth among the G20 countries.” Being from Goa which accounts for a substantial number of seafarers,he spoke about the state being the only place where the pension of the sea farers has been raised from Rs 200 to Rs 2500 per month.

Recently, following a Calcutta income tax tribunal which brought the issue of seafarers being brought into the ambit of the income tax department, Mr. Sawaikar informed the gathering that he has brought it to the notice of the finance minister and the shipping minister, Mr. Nitin Gadkari. Mr. Sawaikar said he was confident that Mr. Gadkari with his vision and action will definitely look into the matter. He stressed on the need for interaction between the policy makers and the different kind of industries and assured the shipping and the maritime industry of his full support and cooperation in taking up all


have questioned the measure with its strict eligibility requirements.

Apparently responding to the criticism, the government is likely to give cash benefits of ¥300,000 to households if a person other than the head of a family suffers a sudden decrease in income. Under the current plan, the government will decide whether to provide the benefit based on the monthly income level of the head of a given household, in principle.

With victims of domestic violence who live in places different from their original address in mind, the government now hopes to make the financial support more flexible, as there are various situations among households that are having difficulty making a living due to a drop in income, the sources said.

“In some families, a person other than the head of householdthe Imperial Faculty of Medicine, who has oversight of all educational matters relating to the collaboration and is responsible for all aspects of the medical school which Imperial has committed to deliver. A small collaboration office (the London Office) has been established on the South Kensington Campus, which works day-to-day on Imperial commitments to the development and continuing operation of LKCMedicine. The London Office oversees both curriculum development and quality assurance of the school.

How is the new medical school governed?

LKCMedicine has a Governing Board, whose membership includes two representatives each from Imperial and NTU, as well as representatives from the Ministries of Health and Education and the primary clinical training partner, the National Healthcare Group. The Governing Board receives reports from a School Management Board and Academic Affairs


schools and universities. Most notably, in 2011, the Lee Foundation, a charitable foundation in Singapore for the advancement of education, medicine and cultural activities, made a gift of S$150 million towards the new medical school. Enhanced Singapore Government matching raised the total donation to S$400 million. In 2013, the school received a further donation of S$20 million from the Toh Kian Chui Foundation, which has gone towards the establishment of a Professorship, student awards and scholarships, as well as education and research support.

What is the Singapore Medical School collaboration?

Imperial College London (Imperial) was approached by the Singapore Ministries of Education and Health in 2009 for assistance in setting up a new medical school in Singapore. Their objective was to ensure that the supply of highly qualified and suitablyskilled doctors in Singapore was sufficient for future needs. In particular, they recognised that their ageing population will have an increased need for healthcare when living with long term medical conditions, which require specialist approaches. Nanyang Technological University (NTU), a publicly funded university, is Imperial’s partner in jointly managing and operating school

The new medical school was announced by Prime Minister Mr Lee Hsien Loong at his National Day Rally speech on 29 August 2010. The agreement was officially signed by the two universities on 29 October 2010.

On 4 January Nanyang Technological University announced that the Lee Foundation, a charitable foundation in Singapore for the advancement of education, medicine and cultural activities, had made a gift of $150 million to the new Singapore medical school with half of the


sum going directly to needy students. Thanks to the Singapore government’s pledge to provide enhanced matching to endowed donations to the new medical school, NTU will receive a gift amounting to $400 million. In honour of this gift, the School was named the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (LKCMedicine).

LKCMedicine operates as an autonomous school within NTU. Imperial is represented on the Governing Board and School Management Board. LKCMedicine admitted its first students in August 2013 with an inaugural cohort of 54; the student intake has risen to a total of 330 as of August 2017.

Who are Nanyang Technological University?

NTU is a research-intensive university with globally acknowledged strengths in science and engineering. The university was established in 1955. Today, NTU comprises of the Colleges of Business, Engineering, Humanities,Arts and Social Sciences, and Science; an Interdisciplinary Graduate; three autonomous entities: the National Institute of Education, the S Rajaratnam School of International Studies, the Earth Observatory of Singapore and the Singapore on Environmental Life Sciences Engineering; various leading research centres such as the Nanyang Environment & Water Research Institute, Energy Research Institute @ NTU and the Institute on Asian Consumer Insight; and now the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine.

NTU has 3,800 members of teaching and research staff, from over 70 countries, and provides a high-quality education to more than 23,000 undergraduates and 10,000 graduate students.

NTU has been climbing in the Times Higher Education rankings, from 174th in the world in 2010-11, to 54th in 2016-17. NTU also features at number two in the Times Higher Education’s


in science and engineering and the two universities have already collaborated successfully on various research projects. A number of Imperial alumni hold senior academic positions at NTU.

Opportunities for Imperial staff

Are there opportunities for support staff and staff outside the Faculty of Medicine?

During the development phase, there was certainly much involvement from staff outside of the Faculty of Medicine. Now that the collaboration has entered its operational phase, there will be less need for involvement by Imperial members of staff outside of the Faculty, though members of staff with expertise in certain areas, particular in quality assurance, will continue to be consulted and there will be representation from some College departments on the Faculty Singapore Board. The programme will undergo period reviews in 2016-17 and 2019-20,with NTU and clinical colleagues in that country, and supporting LKCMedicine in policy development and the establishment of procedures for quality management and assurance.

Now that the collaboration has entered its operational phase, there will be less need for involvement by Imperial members of staff. However, some opportunities will remain for curriculum development of Phases 2 and 3 (clinical years) of the programme. The programme will undergo period reviews in 2016-17 and 2019-20, which will involve members of staff from Imperial. As the partnership continues to mature, there may also be opportunities for Imperial staff to engage with staff at LKCMedicine on collaborative research projects.

New positions advertised at LKCMedicine may also be of interest to existing staff at Imperial.

About the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine

Are students registered with Imperial or with NTU?

Students are registered with NTU for admission to LKCMedicine and receive a joint degree from both Imperial and NTU upon successful completion of the programme. The LKCMedicine MBBS degree has been approved by the Senate of both universities and by the Singapore Medical Council. Singapore government rules require graduates to work for a period of time after graduation in the Singapore health system.

As the LKCMedicine programme is not a sole Imperial award and is delivered outside of theof having designed its facilities to scratch and have therefore been able to create bespoke learning studios with state of the art facilities. Imperial College School of Medicine has much larger cohort sizes (300+) and teaches in traditional large-scale lectures and seminar rooms which present challenges when trying to teach in the TBL format. We are, however, trialling the use of tutorial-based approaches, where it is possible in smaller cohorts, for example during the year five pathology lecture series, and introducing more interactive elements throughout the programme.

Do the students of LKCMedicine spend time at Imperial?

Exchange opportunities between Imperial and LKCMedicine second year MBBS students were introduced in 2015-16. From August 2017, a group of LKCMedicine final year students will be offered the opportunity to undertake their medical elective


placement at Imperial.

How is LKC different to the other Singapore medical schools?

Prior to the formation of LKCMedicine, there was only one medical school offering an MBBS programme in Singapore, the Yong Lee Lin (YLL) School of Medicine at the National University of Singapore (NUS). The YLL MBBS programme involves two years of pre-clinical training, followed by three years of clinical practice. Since 2007, NUS has also offered a four-year graduate MD programme in partnership with Duke University, USA. The Duke-NUS MD is a graduate-entry medical programme, for graduates with a bachelor’s degree in any discipline, and is modelled on a US medical curriculum, with clinical practice from the second year.

The LKCMedicine MBBS programme is one of the first in the world to adopt Team-Based Learning in place ofand has to conform to any local quality assurance requirements imposed by the Singapore Medical Council, NTU, the new medical school itself or the Higher Education Quality Assurance Section of the Higher Education Division, Ministry of Education (MOE), in Singapore. Imperial has worked with LKCMedicine to develop a set of quality assurance and management procedures, which fulfil all Imperial and NTU quality assurance requirements. These procedures include processes for approval of curriculum changes, for receiving and responding to student feedback, standard annual monitoring and external examiner regulations, as well as provision for periodic reviews during the fourth year of operation and the seventh year of operation (the second year of qualified practice for students from the first cohort), and a programme evaluation in the ninth year of operation


from Imperial and governed by the regulations of Imperial's Senate and those of NTU. Minimum entry criteria have been jointly agreed at approved at Imperial and NTU, and the standard of applicants admitted is comparable to the standard of students admitted to the Imperial MBBS programme.

Highlights and next steps

Highlights and next steps

What are the key milestones for the collaboration over the coming years?

Key milestones to come include:

Graduation of the first cohort in Summer 2018

A second periodic review in 2019-20, which will be able to assess the success of the first graduating cohort, who will have been in work for over a year at that time

Programme Evaluation 2021-22

What have been the key highlights of the collaboration so far?

Once the programme had been successfully validated by Imperial and NTU inlate 2011, the first key milestone was the completion of the initial teaching facilities, approval of the programme and all associated policies, and delivery of the Year 1 curriculum ahead of enrolment of first cohort. 54 students were welcomed to the programme with an inaugural ‘white coat ceremony’ in August 2013.

All 54 students in the first cohort have now passed their first-year examinations and progressed into Year 2. The second cohort of 78 students arrived in August 2014.

The current cohorts are taught based at purpose-built facilities at NTU newest campus in the Novena district of Singapore, which was completed in 2013, ahead of the arrival of the first cohort. Work is now progressing well on the construction of two further facilities, an Experimental Sciences Building at NTU’s main


campus and a Clinical Sciences Building at the Novena campus that will be ready in July 2015 and 2016 respectively.

Another key milestone was the recognition of the programme by the Singapore Medical Council, and in 2014, the addition of LKCMedicine to the First Schedule of the Medical Registration Act, which is necessary for graduates to be eligible for medical practice in Singapore.

What stage is the collaboration at?

During the initial development stage, from 2010 until 2013, the focus was on developing the curriculum, employing and training staff to deliver the curriculum and producing new materials for use by the undergraduates. Extensive work took place to ensure that the course was of the highest standard and satisfied the regulations of the two universities and those of the Singapore Medical Council.

Maksym “Mopsio” Szczypa is used to being knocked down and picking himself back up.

It started at a young age growing up in a small village in Poland when his decision to pursue professional gaming alienated himself from the wishes of his family. That defiance strained his relationship with his loved ones, shaping Mopsio into someone who, at times, couldn’t get a handle on how to deal with stress. Family pressure and in-game tension reached a boiling point when he was suspended from the Heroes Global Championship (HGC) last September for seven days following toxic behavior in a ladder match that was seen on a large personalities’ stream.

Since the day he was forced to watch his teammates struggle without him, a direct result of his actions, Mopsio made ita personal goal to attempt to put a handle on his demons. He did that by seeking outside counseling, a difficult and humbling experience for some who go through this process.

Looking to improve as a person and as a player on his new team, Leftovers, as they ascended from The Crucible to qualifying for Western Clash, Mopsio is, once again, out to prove those who want to see him fail wrong.

He sat down with me recently to talk about his recovery process, how former-teammate Adrian “adrd” Wojcik helped turn him into a better leader and where Gordon Ramsay fits on his road to culinary excellence.

Administrative Records, Council of Fifty, Minutes, March 1844–January 1846

Purchase:

The first and only volume of the Administrative Records series, published in 2016, contains the minutes of Council of Fifty meetings held in Nauvoo, Illinois, from March 1844 through January 1846. Joseph Smith formed the council in part to explore possible Latter-day Saint settlement sites west of the boundaries of the United States. Members of the council saw its formation as the beginning of the literal kingdom of God on earth and anticipated that the council would “govern men in civil matters.” After Joseph Smith was murdered in June 1844, council meetings resumed under Brigham Young and continued until just before the Latter-day Saint exodus from western Illinois in early 1846. The minutes, recorded meticulously in three small books byfour months later. Following Smith’s death, the council met in Nauvoo under Brigham Young’s leadership from February 1845 to January 1846. The minutes of the council’s meetings, kept primarily by William Clayton, have never been publicly available. This volume of The Joseph Smith Papers publishes them for the first time.

Participants saw the council as distinct from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and anticipated that the council would “govern men in civil matters.” According to Joseph Smith, the council “was designed to be got up for the safety and salvation of the saints by protecting them in their religious rights and worship.” Nevertheless, because Smith and Young were leaders of both the church and the council, ecclesiastical concerns were frequently reflected in the council’s discussions.

The minutes


forum for making decisions about matters in Nauvoo, including construction of the Nauvoo temple and how to protect and govern the city after the state of Illinois repealed the Nauvoo municipal charter in January 1845. In addition, the council played a major role in exploring possible settlement sites—which included sending a delegate to the Republic of Texas and sending emissaries to various American Indian tribes—and in planning the migration of the Latter-day Saints to the American West.

The minutes capture the principles, protocols, and activities of the Council of Fifty as it was formed and operated in Nauvoo. While many of the actions taken by the council have been known through other documents, the minutes chronicle the deliberations that led to these decisions, providing an unparalleled view of decisionmaking at the center of what participants viewed as the nascent kingdom of God on earth. The minutes of the Council of Fifty thus shed new light on the development of Latter-day Saint beliefs and on the history of Nauvoo and the church during this critical era, while also providing new perspectives on American religious history, political culture, and western migration in the nineteenth century.

Advance Acclaim

“Council of Fifty, Minutes, March 1844-January 1846, the latest addition to the monumental Joseph Smith Papers Project, opens a wide window onto a previously shrouded, but extraordinarily revealing, part of Mormon leadership and life during what were arguably the most turbulent and treacherous months of the church’s history. Students of these pivotal events will be forever grateful for the insights and understanding they will find in these pages.”

—Elliott West, University of Arkansas

“The publication of the Council of Fifty minutes as the first volume of the Administrative Records series in the Joseph Smith Papers can only be described as a triumph. The new volume is sure to be celebrated for its annotation and editing, another excellent addition to the

His family business created the most international beer

Freddy Heineken, under whose leadership the family brewery became internationally famous, died this week, at the age of 78, in The Netherlands. His death was announced on Friday, and I was asked by The Independent to write an obituary (below). A slightly shorter version of this article appears in The Independent, Saturday, 5 January, 2002.

The international spread of Budweiser beer, still made by the founding Busch family, is a phenomenon of the past decade. Until then, only two lager-brewers were recognised worldwide: Carlsberg and Heineken, both from port cities in small nations with commensurately tiny markets on the edge of northern Europe.

Among the world's biggest brewing companies, only Busch, arguably its currently expansive American rival Coors, and Heineken have


been managed with the single-mindedness that derives from not only an owning family but also an individual.

Carlsberg, of Denmark, has long lost its founding family. Now, with the death of Freddy Heineken, at 78, the Dutch brewing company has lost its leader. Busch, Carlsberg and Heineken all trace their origins to the mid 1800s, and all are best known for golden lagers that are distant derivations of that first made by the Czechs in the city of Pilsen in 1842.

Between them, Carlsberg and Heineken created a mild version of Pilsner lager that is today's international, everyday, beer. Carlsberg made it consistent in character by isolating the right yeast strain, but Heineken's buccaneering salesmanship did even more to popularise the style.

In Denmark, the original Carlsberg brewery is on anisland, but the Dutch are already up to their knees in water, born to travel, to be salesmen and entrepreneurs.

The American market has always eluded Carlsberg, but has been the beachhead of Heineken's success as the most international of beer brands. When the Americans were debating the end of Prohibition, a consignment of Heineken beer was already on the way. A Dutchman called Leo van Munching, who had been the bar manager on the Holland-America line was the first importer.

Heineken was brewed in Java when the German occupation of The Netherlands cut off supplies. After the war, shortages meant that exports could not be resumed for some years. The Heineken family, who had founded the company and run it for more than three quarters of a century, sold


their controlling interest. That abdication was in the year that Freddy, still a teenager, joined the business. His spent his early days there carrying sacks of barley.

A dozen years later, still only 30, he bought back the family's stake, secretly, with borrowed money. Freddy Heineken drove the company's success from the post-war period. During this time, it acquired Amstel, and took stakes in about 100 other brewing companies around the world. While working with his importer in the U.S., he met and married an American, Lucille Cummins.

At a time when Americans drank Bud or Schlitz, ate TV dinners, watched "Father Knows Best" and drove Detroit gas-guzzlers, imported products were few, and a foreign beer like Heineken was conspicuous.

Its visibility was heightened by its use of a green bottle.on the neck label had a cachet. No other import challenged Heineken's sales until younger drinkers took up the sweeter, lighter, blander, Corona, from Mexico. By then the notion of quality was shifting toward micro-brews, often ales.

In Britain, with its ale tradition, there had also been lager brewing in Wales and Scotland from the late 1800s, but the English seemed to feel that the style was only valid if it was "Continental". English brewers started to brew Continental lagers under license. Whitbread, at the time also run by the founding family, did such a deal with Heineken.

The Whitbread company had been famous for Porter in the 1700s and Pale Ale in the 1800s, but in the second half of the last century gradually starved its own products of


support in order to put ever more time, effort and money into Heineken -- a brand it could never own.

Against its better judgment, Heineken had been persuaded to have its beer brewed to a lower alcohol content in Britain. This further blandified the product. A series of ads claiming that Heineken "refreshes the parts that other beers can't reach" was built round a central truth. All that can be said for international-style lagers is that they are quenching. The candour of the ads probably appealed as much as their witty illustrations.

Meanwhile, Whitbread neglected its own traditional products to such a degree that it had to buy an ale brewery with a more current reputation, Boddington's, before itself being acquired by Interbrew, of Belgium.

Freddy Heineken had his own articleof faith: that a proper lager cannot be made in fewer than 60 days, while most of its rivals worldwide would settle for 21 or even 14. He insisted that, in the American market, the beer remain a true import, and not be brewed under license. He was passionately proud of the Heineken yeast.

Today's wisdoms argue that managers are interchangeable from one industry to the next. In the brewing industry, their record is no less destructive than elsewhere. I meet brewery bosses -- far less sophisticated men -- who don't seem to drink beer. There are few beers labelled with the boss's name. Freddy Heineken drank such a beer, preferably in a studenty "brown cafe" called Hoppe, not far from the site of his forbears' "Haystack" brewery, in


the heart of Amsterdam. A "pils" in the local: a typically democratic Dutch touch from the richest man in The Netherlands, a billionaire with a history

of fast cars, private planes and beautiful women.

Only last year did he finally retire from Heineken's holding company, in favour of his daughter Charlene, after suffering a stroke.

He was a brave man, as his kidnappers learned in 1983. Yesterday morning, I received an email regarding a beer event I am due to attend in Amsterdam next week. It said simply: "Our next pint with Freddy will be in Heaven." I could think of only one Freddy, and how much the industry will miss him.

Now Heineken will find itself surrounded by predators. In the past few months, Interbrew has secured control of Beck's andNATIONAL CFIDS FOUNDATION AWARDS NEW RESEARCH GRANT TO SCIENTIST IN IRELAND

Dr. Ciaran Morrison, Professor of Biochemistry with the Centre for Chromosome Biology at NUI Galway, is the grant recipient of an award for $152,387 from the National CFIDS Foundation. Dr. Morrison's research focuses mainly on cellular DNA damage response and chromosome abnormalities.

According to Alan Cocchetto, Medical Director, "Dr. Morrison's research is aimed at increasing our fundamental understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underly chromosome damage associated with CFIDS. This research will complement and extend the SKY analysis testing and analysis that is nearing completion by Dr.


Major league logos used to be a lot more fun.

Remember Baltimore's Cartoon Bird? He was the Orioles official logo during their greatest era from the mid-1960s through the '80s, when they won multiple World Series and pennants. You can almost see him driving a pitch into the seats at old Memorial Stadium. The Cartoon Bird was fun and a winner. But after the Orioles started the 1988 season 0-20, Baltimore flipped the Bird to an ornithologically correct Oriole in 1989. And they haven't won been to the World Series since or been remotely close in a dozen years.

That is not to blame their demise on a simple switch from a cartoon logo. After all, the Twins had the awesome cartoon Minnie and Paul logo for their first quartercentury. Minnesota jettisoned them for a more corporate logo in 1987 and they immediately won the World Series (plus another four years later). Boston slid into deep decline in 1950 when it dropped a simple "B" logo for a big, goofy Red Sock that looked as if it was going to set blood pressure records, perhaps because he was angry about being afflicted with what looked like the world's worst pimple on his chin. And, of course, the Padres canned the Swingin' Friar right after reaching the World Series for the first time.

(Little known logo trivia: Tony Gwynn was the physical model for the Friar.)

With a few exceptions, that playful cartoon style has disappeared from major league logos. Fortunately, it lives on in the minors, where fans are


be bringing the family, the teams are not selling the family. The main thing they're selling is big league baseball. So you don't have the Onion on the cap. That's not what they're about."

Apparently not. After using a stylized but mostly ornithologically correct blue jay for its history, Toronto switched to a cartoon bird in 2003. Sadly, that logo lasted just one season before Toronto switched to the current corporate monstrosity.

"When sports branding became an industry and mascot depiction became more graphic, teams and schools moved away from those cartoon renderings in favor of more iconic executions, which are visually more 'professional,'" Simon said.

Perhaps more professional, but not nearly as much fun.

Ranking the official major league logos (remember, we're talking logos, not cap insignias):

1. Mets

I'm no Mets fan,realize the bird is perched on a bat so I had him sitting on a branch. Worse yet, I forgot to include the MLB authentication hologram.

8. Rockies

This logo is the closest to the minor league style, and I mean that in a good way. It playfully blends two powerful American images -- purple mountains majesty and baseball -- and is only missing Uncle Troy Tulowitzki saying, "How much you wanna bet I can hit a baseball over them mountains?"

9. Angels

This logo features a very clever nod to the old Big A tower. Fortunately, the Angels resisted the urge to have the Rally Monkey swatting airplanes from atop the halo.

10. White Sox

I like the distinctive script. It's a little in your face, like a Chicago fan, but in a


also know it was his first career hit? Of course, you did. Called up to the Giants in May of 1951, Mays went hitless in his first 12 at-bats and, as legend has it, pleaded with manager Leo Durocher to return to New York's Minneapolis farm team. Durocher instead told him to hang in there, and Mays responded in his fourth career game by hitting a home run over the left field roof at the Polo Grounds. Said Spahn: "For the first 60 feet, it was a helluva pitch."

Mr Eazi – 2 People (Remix) ft. Small Doctor & Nakamura

Mr. Eazi recruits raving street-hop act – Small Doctor and long term friend Nakamura for the remix of his song "2 People" of which the original tune is extracted from his Accra to Lagos mix-tape.
Enjoy the remix of the track below.Queens. The $560 million project to revamp the Ocean Bay Apartments at Beach Channel Drive was hailed by local leaders as a major achievement.

U.S. Rep. Gregory Meeks, Queens Borough President Melinda Katz and Councilmember Donovan Richards praised the renovations to individual apartments; weatherproofing measures, including a new storm wall and solar panels; and development of community spaces and resources, such as basketball courts and community gardens.

Just over 30,000 Queens residents live in public housing — far fewer than in Brooklyn and the Bronx.

Meeks, who represents New York's 5th congressional district and leads the Queens County Democratic Party, called the Ocean Bay Apartments “restored and better than ever” in the wake of damage wrought by Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Katz hailed the initiative as an “innovative and energy-efficient project.”

Filmmaker George Lucas wants everybody to see his movies, but not where they're made.

The "Star Wars" creator's latest plan for moviemaking magic is also an architectural treat: a "three-story digital technology fortress" on the site of the former Grady Ranch in a secluded part of Lucas Valley in Marin County, Calif., according to the Marin Independent Journal.

Lucas proposes to build on-site a 263,000-square foot building, where 340 employees — and actors and guests — will be able to avail themselves of film stages, screening rooms, a cafe, a day car, a gym, sleeping quarters and underground parking for 202 cars and 24 bicycles.

All this will be hidden from view by a man-made knoll.

Nine bridges to span Miller, Grady and Landmark creekswill be built, and there's also a plan to dig a cave in which Lucas can age the wine culled from his nearby vineyards.

Best Holiday Gifts for Movie Fans

The building will look similar to either the Mission-style St. Vincent's School for Boys or the Casa Grande at Hearst Castle in San Simeon, depending on who you ask.

The 187-acre project is not far away from Lucas's existing facilities at the 2,500-acre Skywalker Ranch.

The plan seems destined for approval, according to reports: a less-intensive plan was already green-lighted by Marin County officials, the newspaper reported. This one will go through the public process next year.

While there's certainly a similarity, George Lucas's name is not literally on Lucas Valley: the area is named for a 19th-century rancher, not the


The document also highlights the Kazak leaders' affinity for alcohol and dancing. U.S. Embassy officials in the capital of Astana observed Kazak Prime Minister Masimov at one of the city's trendiest nightclubs, where he was seen dancing alone on an elevated platform.

"His companions quickly tired but Masimov remained," the cable said, "dancing alone and animatedly on the stage for another 15-20 minutes."

On a separate occasion, the country's Defense Minister Akhmetov showed up for a meeting with a senior U.S. defense department official in a drunken stupor.

"Slouching back in his chair and slurring all kinds of Russian participles -- Akhmetov explained to this very senior guest that he had just been at a cadet graduation reception 'toasting Kazakhstan's newly-commissioned officers,"' the cable reads. "Who was toasted more -- theDefense Minister or the cadets -- is a matter of pure speculation."

American Dentist Makes Harrowing Escape from Iran

Another cable obtained by Wikileaks details a 75-year-old Los Angeles dentist's harrowing escape from Iran on horseback in January after officials in Tehran confiscated his passport.

Hossein Ghanbarzadeh Vahedi, a U.S. citizen of Iranian descent, paid $7,500 to two drug smugglers who led him on an extraordinary three-day trek into Turkey, including a 14-hour overnight ride through the mountains in temperatures below freezing.

A "visibly shaken" Vahedi ended up at the U.S. consulate in Ankara, suffering only from "some aches and pains," the cable said. Officials later helped him avoid deportation back to Iran by Turkish authorities and fly home to the U.S. to reunite with his family.

Vahedi had traveled to Tehran in


May 2008 to visit his parents' gravesite and spent an uneventful four weeks there with family and friends. But when he tried to leave the country on June 6, authorities confiscated his passport and refused to let him leave.

Wikileaks Secrets Include Many Anecdotes

Authorities sought a $150,000 fine to "make the process move more quickly" and assurances that his sons – popular Persian pop singers who use "occasional anti-regime rhetoric" – would end their music business, he told consular officials, according to the cable.

But after seven months of unsuccessful appeals before an Iranian court, Vahedi became desperate, believing a covert escape would be his only option of getting home.

Vahedi weighed being a stowaway on a ship across the Persian Gulf into the UAE; crossing through Baluchistan in southeast Iraninto Pakistan; or, venturing into Iraq with hopes of connecting with U.S. military forces. He settled on a fourth option: crossing Iran's mountainous northwest border into Turkey.

On Jan. 7, 2009, the daring journey began when he set out on horseback in the cold darkness as two paid escorts led the way.

Vahedi, who was not properly dressed for the frigid temperatures, had the escorts "physically hug him to keep him warm," according to the cable. At one point during the treacherous climb, he fell from the horse and down into the woods.

"He really believed he was going to die by freezing to death on a mountainside," consular officials wrote in the cable.

Once in Turkey, Vahedi recovered briefly in a halfway house before taking a 10-hour bus ride to Ankara,

Introduction:

Chris has to have a piece of his cheerleader daughter

“Taylor?” Christopher called, as he opened the front door. He glanced next to the door where Taylor usually threw down her backpack when she came home from school, despite the repeated attempts he had to get her to bring it to her room. It wasn’t unusual that she wasn’t home yet. A pretty, popular senior in high school, she was rarely home before him anymore.
Chris took off his suit jacket and loosened his tie before heading into the kitchen. He tossed his jacket over one of the chairs and opened the refrigerator. Not surprising, there wasn’t a whole lot in it, and he shut the door with a sigh. Since his wife died, Chris had a hard timelittle while.
He opened the drawer where he knew it normally was, seeing just her pink toothbrush lying there. Chris bent down and looked in the cabinet under the sink. Seeing nothing, he looked in the bottom drawer. He moved Taylor’s pink towels aside, thinking maybe a spare tube was underneath. His hand felt a tube and he pulled it out, smiling. Then he looked down to see what he was really holding. Surprised, he dropped it, and then peered down at the floor to see his daughter’s vibrator lying there. He felt him himself turn red in embarrassment. At the same time, it made him think of his daughter using it and he began to get hard.

Chris gave himself a little shake and splashed a little water on


He quickly walked back down the hall to his room, changed into more comfortable clothes, and ran down the stairs.
Chris left a note for Taylor in the rare event she would be home shortly of where he was headed, and walked out the door.

******
About an hour later, Chris pulled back into the driveway. He had decided to try actually grocery shopping for once, instead of just grabbing the staples. He thought that maybe if he made a little effort with Taylor, they could hang out her last summer home before leaving for college. He grabbed the bags out of the trunk and struggled to get his keys out. He pushed through the door and still didn’t see Taylor’s things. Chris put the bags down on the kitchen counter,all except one. That one he continued up the stairs with, which contained toothpaste, shampoo, and some razors. On the way to his room, he noticed Taylor’s door was almost closed, but not quite. She must be home then, he thought to himself. He started back down to his room and then remembered he was going to try to make an effort. So he carefully set the bag down on the floor and made his way to the opposite end of the hall.
Chris was just about to push the door open when he heard a strange noise. He looked in the crack and was surprised to see his daughter splayed out on the bed with her cheerleading skirt hiked up, working the vibrator in and out of her


clean shaven pussy. Taylor’s head was leaned back on her pillows and her eyes were closed. He started to back away, ashamed at what he was seeing. But Chris couldn’t tear his eyes away from the sight before him. This beautiful creature wasn’t just his daughter. He grew so hard he could barely take it while he watched Taylor thrust the vibrator in and out of her beautiful pussy, lowly moaning at the back of her throat.

Chris found himself quietly unzipping his pants and putting his hand inside his boxers. He started stroking his cock to the same rhythm his daughter was working her pussy. He almost moaned and caught himself just in time. Still, Taylor looked toward her door and Chris jumped to the side and froze.and spread out some of his papers beside him. But as he reached for his laptop, he realized he was still thinking about earlier. As he pictured Taylor in his mind, he thought about her gorgeous pussy. He pulled his pants off, quickly, and pulled his boxers down a little. Chris leaned back on the pillows, closed his eyes, and remembered the motions of his daughter. He was really getting into it when he suddenly felt like he was being watched. His eyes flew open and he saw Taylor leaning on his doorframe.
“Fuck,” he muttered, grabbing a pillow to hide his still swollen, but shrinking, cock. He couldn’t believe he’d been that careless. He assumed he would have heard her on the stairs if she had come up.
“Dad,”


He closed his eyes for a little bit and thought of what it would be like to have Taylor touch him. When he opened them again, he looked over to see Taylor with her hand rubbing her clit under her thong. He almost came right then.
She looked into his eyes and reached a hand out to touch his arm. He stopped, almost panicked that he had done something to make her want to stop. Almost dreamlike, she leaned over and kissed him, the sweetest, softest kiss.
Then, more than he could have hoped, she bent down and took his cock in her mouth. Her lips and tongue were so soft and felt amazing. His dick swelled in her mouth. She bobbed up and down, licking and sucking. When sheglanced up at him, he almost lost it again. Then Taylor knelt up between his legs and freed her perfect tits from her bra. She laid on top of him, kissing him. Chris grabbed at her tits and then pulled her up and started licking them, letting his hand move down between her legs. She let out a gasp. “Oh, yeah, Daddy. Please, please, touch me more.” He could feel her growing wet.
He sat up and pulled her thong off quickly. He paused briefly to admire his naked daughter and then he looked at her flushed face. “Fuck me,” he told her. She quickly startled him and eased his cock into her pussy. He groaned and grabbed her hips, starting to thrust his big cock in and out


off and looked up at him. “Yes, Daddy?” He spun her around and pushed her down so she was bent over the bed. He forced his cock back into her wet, warm pussy. She cried out and turned around to look at him. He slapped her ass and she cried, “Oh, Daddy, cum inside your baby! This is why you had me! Cum inside your little girl!”
At these words, Chris couldn’t stop himself. He gave one hard thrust deep inside Taylor and she pushed back against him. He came inside her and felt her cum against his cock. They both feel down on the bed, him on top of her. He kissed the back of her neck. “Thanks, Daddy,” she whispered to him. “I’m so lucky to bewould be petrified."

The Romanian victim said on Monday how she was collecting her son from primary school when she was approached by the youths.

She said while she was scared at the time, she won't be leaving Northern Ireland.

"Yes of course I like here because my family is here and my husband and children," she said, speaking anonymously to the BBC.

Alliance Antrim councillor Neil Kelly said the video had spread so far that Romanian television had contacted him about it.

"There can never be an excuse for racism – it has absolutely no place in our society and blatant intimidation such as this video appears to show needs to be stamped out," he said.

Proclamation at the UN of the International Day of Yoga - IDY

The Portuguese Yoga Confederation initiative, candidate since 2001, at the United Nations and the UNESCO as International Day of Yoga, on June 21st, was approved on thursday 2014 December 11th by generalised majority of the United Nations' General Assembly, by 175 countries, the largest supporters number ever in all the United Nations' Resolutions.as of the latest count), the president accused Cruz, the Democrats and the "fake news" media of using the disaster to score political points:

"The Mayor of San Juan, who was very complimentary only a few days ago, has now been told by the Democrats that you must be nasty to Trump"...

The Mayor of San Juan, who was very complimentary only a few days ago, has now been told by the Democrats that you must be nasty to Trump. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 30, 2017

restored to more than half of the island's hospitals, many of which have been forced to rely on diesel-powered generators to provide dialysis and other life-saving services to patients with dangerous illness. Meanwhile, the island's battered infrastructure - power grids remain down across 80% of the island and most cell towers have also been knocked offline following Hurricane Maria - was completely devasted.

Trump previously attracted some criticism by tweeting about Puerto Rico's precarious financial situation, claiming that the island was in "deep trouble" partly because of its massive debt.

Texas & Florida are doing great but Puerto Rico, which was already suffering from broken infrastructure & massive debt, is in deep trouble.. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 26, 2017

Of course, as Trump pointed out, millions of dollars' worthBrad Sherrill, a 30-year Atlanta-based professional actor, will speak the words of Jesus Christ on stage to over 2,000 people over six weeks in Chicago's Provision Theater.

Starting in September, Sherrill will kick off Provision Theater's 10th anniversary with "Red Letter Jesus," a stage adaptation of the words of Christ in Matthew, Mark, and Luke.

"I want people to encounter the words of Jesus that we find in the synoptic gospels," Sherrill said in a Monday interview with The Christian Post. He said that he has already performed the play about one hundred times in the past two years.

"Red Letter Jesus" follows the actor's earlier scriptural play, "The Gospel of John," which he has reportedly performed more than 6,000 times in over 11 years. He has performed in over 40


states, from Hawaii to Florida, and even in England, Ireland, and Northern Ireland.

Sherrill acts mostly for churches, but also frequents secular theaters. Chicago's Provision Theater, while secular, is "devoted to producing works of hope, reconciliation and redemption; works that challenge us to explore a life of meaning and purpose," according to its mission statement.

Provision's willingness to produce works inspired by faith has stirred up controversy, said Founding Artistic Director Timothy Gregory, in a Monday interview with CP. Critics used to judging secular works and writing about faith "in a way that's dismissive or sardonic" do not understand the "deep hunger" for religious plays, he explained.

"A lot of people who will come to see this wouldn't be caught dead in a church," the artistic director said. He told CPthis is a great opportunity to reach ordinary people with the Gospel message, with Jesus' words preached directly and without any preacher's interpretation.

While his theater only seats 210, Gregory told CP that its largest performance, "The Hiding Place" – a play based off the book by the Dutch Christian who saved many Jews from the Holocaust, Cory ten Boom – drew 3,500 people over six weeks. Other notable performances include "Shadowlands," a play about the life of C.S. Lewis, "Godspell," and "A Christmas Carol." The theater even produced a version of the debates between outspoken atheist George Bernard Shaw and Catholic apologist G.K. Chesterton.

"The Gospel of John," which hit Provision during the 2006-2007 season, drew approximately 2,000 people – 2,000 who heard the entire Gospel read and acted


out, in the New International Version.

Nevertheless, Sherrill said he doesn't care about the numbers. "Jesus said feed my sheep, not count them," the actor quipped, paraphrasing John 21:17.

Along with the actor's performance of "Red Letter Jesus," Provision Theater will play footage of modern-day Israel, taken from each of the areas discussed in the Gospels. "We're hearing Jesus' words, and on the screen behind me we actually see footage of the Garden of Gethsemane at dusk," he said, painting the picture of Jesus' words to his sleeping disciples after the Last Supper.

While Sherrill speaks before scenes from Israel, Gregory told CP he is writing a script for "Jacob," a stage adaptation of the story of Jacob wrestling with the angel. "It just gets such a quick pass in Genesis,""It's good for New York to have a dialogue. It's good to have credible candidates exploring this race. So what are they so afraid of?'' said the statement, released by spokesman Davidson Goldin, a former political reporter for television station NY1 whom Ford hired this past week.

New York, the statement continues, needs a senator who will stand up for the state, "regardless of what the party bosses'' want.

Power player Sen. Chuck Schumer, widely seen as Gillibrand's closest, most influential ally, has been leveraging his political muscle all week in an effort to dissuade Ford from running, as he's elbowed out other potential contenders in the past. The senior senator met with Ford on Wednesday to discourage him from entering the race, two people familiar with the meeting told


The New York Times.

But Ford may have some high-profile people in his camp as well. Two of Mayor Michael Bloomberg's senior campaign strategists lunched with the former Tennessee congressman, possibly to work up some campaign strategy, reports the Times.

That lunch meeting promoted Democratic majority leader Sen. Harry Reid to place a personal call to Bloomberg to ask the billionaire mayor to refrain from assisting Ford in any potential run for the Senate, a source told the Times.

Meanwhile, it appears Gillibrand supporters, including Rep. Jerry Nadler, Planned Parenthood Advocates of New York and the Human Rights Campaign, have already launched into attack mode. They released statements criticizing Ford's record in Tennessee, where he was elected in 1997 and served 10 years.

Gillibrand adviser Jefrey Pollock denied that the statements were"bullying,'' saying they were informing New Yorkers of "someone who has embraced an anti-choice, anti-LGBT rights, and anti-immigrant record.''

Ford, 38, took a job with Merrill Lynch & Co. in New York after losing the 2006 Tennessee Senate race. He is also the chairman of the centrist Democratic Leadership Council, teaches university courses and is a political commentator on MSNBC.

Gov. David Paterson named Gillibrand to succeed Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Senate after Clinton left to become secretary of state for the Obama administration.

Gillibrand has abandoned earlier, more conservative positions on issues such as gun control and immigration.

But the chain, which was hit by a flat sales period in the first 18 weeks of 2006, still faces hurdles in the months ahead, MD Sir Michael Darrington warned.He said it was encouraging that like-for-like sales had increased by 4.1% in the first five weeks of the second half of this year (2007) despite the effects of "very adverse weather".But he said: "Comparatives will grow steadily more demanding as the second half progresses.

I-80 toll issue is DEAD!!!!

"The Federal Highway Administration said its decision to reject that plan was based, in part, on questions about whether the amount of money that would be paid by turnpike commission to the state Transportation Department was based on an “objective market valuation” of the highway.

“There is simply no evidence that the lease payments are related to the actual costs of acquiring an interest in the facility,” said Tom Madison, the federal highway administrator." (Times Leader, 2008).

In other words, Fast Eddy Rendell's proposal was shut down by the feds because the revenues from the tolls did not match up to what the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania wanted to spend on the roads. In other words the Federal Highway Administration saw this as achip fabrication business against the larger, entrenched incumbents in the sector - and when you have strong competition in the marketplace, you generally see lower-priced products.

In the beginning, this worked out well as we saw NVidia, Texas Instruments and Qualcomm jump at the idea of WOA. It seemed like a fantastic idea as ARM-based chips have been become synonymous with efficient performance at traditionally lower price points.

There was a lot of excitement around the idea too of Microsoft building its own ARM-based device, the Surface RT. After a press conference that caught many by surprise, Surface RT became the face of the new Microsoft, as it was the first device in the Surface family and the first Windows RT product to hit store shelves.

Amikacin levels in human aqueous humor.
Amikacin is one of the newer aminoglycoside antibiotics. The penetration of amikacin into the human primary aqueous humor after intramuscular application was investigated. Comparing our results with reports concerning the blood aqueous permeability of gentamicin and tobramycin we could not find any significantly better penetration of amikacin into the human aqueous humor after i.m. injection. The advantage of amikacin lies in its effectiveness against bacteria resistant to other aminoglycosides.Nightscape: Dark Reign of Thanatos

In Nightscape: Dark Reign of Thanatos, the ultimate struggle between man and the Gods takes place. Upon creating the earth the great god Zelos grew weary and so forged in his image two sons to uphold his kingdom and ensure its longevity, Aevum and Thanatos. As time progressed, so did the intentions of the two sons. The second, Thanatos poisoned himself against the will of his brother and turned to blackness and evil for answers. From this new hatred, the darkness bore a final battle to end the rule of either son- for their father lay dormant, undisturbed and unaware of his failing hopes.

Years later, Thanatos threatens the very existence of our world, but something is still preventing him from total domination as the

According to emergency services spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra, employed by the Hamas-run health ministry, the child was killed when a shell hit a house to the east of Jabaliya where clashes had recently erupted between Israeli troops and Hamas militants.

‘Criticism of the US should be toned down’

Environmental Protection Minister Amir Peretz tells Israel Radio that


relates to the needs of a murderous terrorist organization that is attacking Israeli civilians and does not address Israel’s security needs, including the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip according to the principle laid down in the interim agreements with the Palestinians. The statement does not refer to attacks on Israeli civilians, or to the fact that Hamas has turned the residents of Gaza into human shields and uses UN facilities to attack Israeli civilians. Israel accepted three UN proposals for humanitarian truces, and Hamas violated them all. Even now they are continuing to fire at Israeli civilians. Israel will continue to deal with the terrorist tunnels, and this is only the first step in the demilitarization. Instead of the funds of the international community serving the construction oftheir efforts to obtain a ceasefire. Pressure must increase to get there,” the French presidency says.

It issued its statement after President Barack Obama, Chancellor Angela Merkel, President Francois Hollande, Prime Minister David Cameron and Prime Minister Matteo Renzi held phone calls to establish their joint position.

“The deterioration of the situation just plays into the hands of extremists,” the presidency says in a statement.

Gantz says Hamas responsible for Shifa Hospital blast

IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz says the IDF is dismantling tunnels, targeting rocket launchers, and has made impressive gains.

He reports there is unprecedented cooperation between the air, ground and naval forces, and says Israel will continue as necessary.

He adds the IDF is doing its best to avoid civilian casualties in Gaza, but emphasizes that Hamas operates from within the civilian population. He urges Gazans to distance themselves from areas where Hamas operates, “because we will get there.”

Hamas is responsible for the explosion at the Shifa Hospital in Gaza, he says.

Palestinian death toll said to hit 1,067

Palestinian emergency services spokesman Ashraf al-Kidra says five Palestinians were killed in an Israeli strike on Khan Yunis in southern Gaza late on Monday.

The strike hit close to the city’s Islamic University, killing four members of one family, and leaving another 20 people injured, he announces.

Their deaths raised the overall Palestinian death toll in Gaza to 1,067, he says.

Israel says hundreds of the dead are Hamas gunmen.

On Sunday, Palestinian officials said that the death toll stood at 1,031, retracting an earlier announcement that placed it at 1,060, Ynet reports. Officials had mistakenly counted 147 bodies retrieved from rubble in the Gaza Strip, and later said there were


actually 117.

More details emerge on soldier’s death

The army releases some additional information about the incident this afternoon in which Staff Sergeant Moshe Davino, a soldier in the Combat Engineering Corps, was killed.

The incident occurred at 2 p.m. in the southern sector of the Gaza Strip, in Khan Yunis, as Givati Brigade soldiers operated in tandem with soldiers from the Combat Engineering Corps. The soldiers were working to uncover a tunnel shaft, the army says, when an eight-man squad of militants fired an anti-tank missile at a 50-ton, bulletproof bulldozer called a Caterpillar D9. Davino was killed in the explosion and two other soldiers were wounded.

The gunmen retreated to a nearby building. The army says that the D9 charged the building and toppled it, apparently killing all eight attackers.

HE HELD RADICAL LIGHT The Art of Faith, the Faith of Art By Christian Wiman

With all the stonings, smitings, beheadings and bear maulings in the Bible, it is easy to miss the rather staid death of Eutychus. As recounted in the Book of Acts, the young man nods off during a long sermon by St. Paul, and falls three stories from a window in Troas. In a reprieve for dozing parishioners everywhere, Paul resurrects him.

Poor Eutychus comes and goes in only a few verses, but I thought of him while reading the poet Christian Wiman’s curious new book, “He Held Radical Light” — not because it’s in danger of putting anyone to sleep, but because, like Acts, it’s an episodic account of equally strange

For some reason, when I saw the above sculpture installation at LACMA, I didn’t remember that Walter De Maria was part of the NYC underground scene that also evolved into The Velvet Underground…

Walter De Maria, a reclusive American sculptor whose multifaceted achievement and sly Dadaist humor helped give rise to earthworks, Conceptual Art and Minimal art, on an often monumental scale, died on Thursday in Los Angeles. He was 77 and lived in New York.

…

In a career of more than 50 years Mr. De Maria made drawings of all-but-invisible landscapes, gamelike interactive wood sculptures and a record of himself accompanying the sound of crickets on the drums.

Mr. De Maria himself was a sometime percussionist who played in jazzand rock groups in New York in the 1960s, including one that evolved into Lou Reed’s Velvet Underground. Yet as an artist in later years he avoided the limelight, rarely giving interviews or letting himself be photographed.…

In other works Mr. De Maria favored shiny metals and pristine floor-hugging geometric forms that were often repeated in great numbers.

…

From 1953 to 1959 he attended the University of California, Berkeley, studying history and painting, the latter under the painter David Park, who was also a musician and had a jazz group in which Mr. De Maria occasionally performed.

During these years Mr. De Maria was part of San Francisco’s developing avant-garde scene, participating in “Happenings” and theatrical performances and turning increasingly to three-dimensional works. His friends included the composer La Monte Young


(later to become another Dia beneficiary) and the dancer Simone Forti, whose task-oriented choreography made him interested in interactive sculpture. Mr. De Maria moved to New York in 1960 and immersed himself in the downtown scene. He participated in Happenings with Robert Whitman (who was then married to Ms. Forti) and briefly ran a gallery on Great Jones Street with him, exhibiting Minimalist sculptures made of wood.

The sculptures were often Dadaist in intent. A piece called “Ball Drop” consisted of a tall columnar structure with a small hole at the top and bottom and a small wood ball. The viewer could drop the ball in the top hole and retrieve it from the bottom.

During this time Mr. De Maria performed with jazz musicians, including the trumpeter Don Cherry,and joined a band called the Primitives. It would evolve into the Velvet Underground.

The Brooklyn Museum has canceled plans to show “Art in the Streets,” the popular but controversial graffiti exhibition originated by the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art. In both a terse press release and an e-mail that, according to L.A. Weekly was sent to an artist in the show, the Brooklyn Museum’s director, Arnold Lehman, blamed tight finances for the cancellation. In the email quoted by L.A. Weekly, Mr. Lehman said: “With no major funding in place, we cannot move ahead.”

The show has drawn criticism in Los Angeles, both from people who accuse it of glorifying vandalism and from others who question the role of Roger Gastman, an associate curator of the show who also

Very quietly, a consortium of museums has persuaded the Illinois legislature to allow them to charge entry fees to out-of-staters on the 52 free museum days each year mandated by the General Assembly.

The bill, approved unanimously, is on the desk of the Hamlet of Springfield, Gov. Pat Quinn, who presumably will need less time to mull whether to sign this one than he took agonizing over abolition of the death penalty.

Gary Johnson,president of the Chicago History Museum, led the charge as head of Museums in the Parks. That group comprises the Adler Planetarium, Art Institute of Chicago, DuSable Museum of African American History, Field Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art, Museum of Science and Industry, National Museum of Mexican Art, Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, John G.

This exhibition of nearly 300 images is the first full retrospective devoted to Cartier-Bresson in three decades. Itincludes both his formally groundbreaking early images and his historically significant postwar work—in India and Indonesia during struggles for independence, in China during the revolution, in the Soviet Union following Stalin’s death—that redefined the field of photojournalism.

Following an exquisite presentation of the best of the early work, the exhibition is organized as a series of distinct sections. Several of these sections are devoted to his work in countries such as the United States, the Soviet Union, and France. Other sections present the themes that preoccupied Cartier-Bresson throughout his career: portraiture, the persistence of ancient customs and patterns of life, the transformation of these patterns by modern industry and commerce, the poetry of human encounters on the street, and the psychology of the crowd.

The retrospective, organized by the Museum

Azul has been named as this year’s recipient of the Spiel des Jahres.

Winning the esteemed ‘Game of the Year’ prize sees Michael Kiesling’s stunning tile-laying hit adding to a lengthy list of accolades including the As d’Or Game of the Year prize and Origins Award for Best Family Game of the Year.

A sequel, Azul: Stained Glass of Sintra, was announced earlier this month for release later in 2018, accompanied by the news that the original Azul has sold more than 320,000 copies since its launch last year.

Also on 2018’s shortlist for the Spiel des Jahres were Rüdiger Dorn’s Luxor and divisive social card game The Mind, with 5-Minute Dungeon, Facecards, Majesty: For the


Realm, Memoarrr!, Santorini and Woodlands all in the line for Recommended nods from the jury.

Kiesling’s triumph means that he has now collected the Spiel des Jahres three times, with this latest solo win joining two shared victories alongside Wolfgang Kramer for Tikal and Torres.

Kiesling was also nominated for the Spiel des Jahres’ sibling prize, the Kennerspiel des Jahres for Expert Game of the Year, alongside Andreas Schmidt for Heaven & Ale.

It was another Spiel des Jahres hopeful – The Mind designer Wolfgang Warsch – who ultimately collected the Kennerspiel des Jahres, however, for Die Quacksalber von Quedlinburg (‘The Quackers of Quedlinburg’).

Warsch was nominated a total of three times across the two categories, having also designed the other Kennerspiel runner-up Ganz Schön Clever. Clank! and Pioneers were the pairof more complex games Recommended by the jury.

A special prize – the first awarded by the Spiel des Jahres jury in almost a decade – was handed out to Matt Leacock and Rob Daviau for their joint work on Pandemic Legacy: Season Two, acknowledging the series’ influence on the burgeoning legacy genre.

This year’s winner of the Kinderspiel des Jahres was previously announced as Dragon’s Breath (‘Funkelschatz’), seeing off Emojito and Panic Mansion.

(The brief overview below is largely drawn from two books, “The Great Wells of Democracy,” by Manning Marable, and “Nixon’s Piano: Presidents and Racial Politics from Washington to Clinton,” by Kenneth O’Reilly. This is a modified version of a presentation I made at a January 31st meeting in Atlanta, Ga. which developed plans for a 2004 Racism Watch.)

Racism within U.S. institutions, law and culture is deeply imbedded in the history and reality of the United States going back to the 17th century, but in the 20th century, the deliberate and overt use of racially-coded language and positions in Presidential campaigns was begun in 1968 by the Richard Nixon campaign. Even Barry Goldwater, conservative Republican that he was, made an agreement in 1964 with

“By late May 1992 Bill Clinton had all but sown up his party ‘s presidential nomination, but in national polls he was running a poor third in the projected general election that was only months away, behind the incumbent president, George Bush, and independent candidate H. Ross Perot. What Clinton needed was an event to distinguish himself as a ‘different kind of Democrat.’ Following Reagan’s model, he decided to manipulate the politics of race. . . Clinton had been scheduled to speak before the national convention of the Rainbow Coalition and, without informing Jackson in advance, decided to distance himself from the black community.

Although the speech was designed to focus on issues such as urban enterprise zones and the earned-income tax credit, Clinton unexpectedly attacked thebeing encircled; on August 14, 4th Tank Army reported the 321st had a total of 7,544 men. In conjunction with arriving forces of 1st Guards Army, the 321st was ordered into a counterstroke on August 17 to try to retrieve the situation, but this effort failed, and on August 20 its strength had fallen to 4,356 men.  Only the timely arrival of 38th and 40th Guards Rifle Divisions prevented the German corps from liquidating the narrow bridgehead south of the Don from Kremenskaya to Sirotinskaya. This bridgehead would later cause the German Army much grief. However, the 321st was by now decimated, and was transferred to 1st Guards Army.

On August 24 Maj. Gen. Ivan Alekseevich Makarenko took command of the division, which he would hold for the


In response, schools across the country have introduced courses about sexual consent, reviewed the way they handle allegations of assault, and stepped up counseling for survivors.

But the question of how to handle fraternities has dogged administrators for years: Critics say fraternity houses encourage drunken partying and sexual misconduct, while supporters say many of them build camaraderie and foster future professional relationships.

The Swarthmore documents, published by The Phoenix and Voices, both student-run publications, read like a series of meeting minutes between fraternity brothers and appear to chronicle life at Phi Psi between 2010 and 2016. This means many of the people mentioned in them have since graduated. But students say they are representative of the current atmosphere.

Thereafter, at the request of Division counsel and counsel for United Fruit, I examined several hundred documents and gave my opinion whether United Fruit might properly refuse to produce them on the ground of privilege. In the Spring of 1962 the Division decided not to request an indictment in the District of Maryland, but to seek an indictment on the West Coast, and the late Judge Chesnut discharged


the Grand Jury on May 11, 1962.
On February 4, 1963, Andrew J. Kilcarr, an attorney in the Division who had participated in the aforesaid investigation, filed a petition herein, referring to the impounding order, reciting that the testimony received by the Grand Jury in this District has been transcribed, and requesting "that leave be granted the said Andrew J. Kilcarr to take as many of said documents and transcripts as be necessary to the Southern District of California and to disclose said documents and portions of said transcripts of Grand Jury proceedings heretofore held in this District to a Federal Grand Jury in the Southern District of California at Los Angeles". In support of the request it is alleged that it would be impractical, repetitious, and unnecessarily expensiveto return said documents to the respondents and then subpoena them again and to take such direct testimony again. Pursuant to instructions from this Court, the Division served notice of the petition on counsel for United Fruit.
Following an informal hearing, and subject to the conditions contained in a letter dated February 8, 1963, counsel for United Fruit consented to the entry of an order granting leave to the Division to take the documents to Los Angeles for the purpose of disclosing them or any of them to the Grand Jury convened in the Southern District of California. Such an order was entered herein on February 20, 1963.
