Back in the US, at least as recently as 2015, lasagne florentine is still pretty common, and virtually always made with ricotta, at least in my experience.

The frozen food brand Michael Angelo's makes a really good (for mass produced frozen food) version, especially after you punch it up with a little garlic salt, crushed red pepper flakes and a generous sprinkle of grated parmasean.

With dreams of an Anchorman sequel dashed and Zoolander 2 taking forever to get out of the starting gate, comedy nerds need another potential movie sequel to pine over. Fortunately, director David Wain is here to help, and while appearing on "The Q&A with Jeff Goldsmith" to discuss the tenth anniversary of his cult classic Wet Hot American Summer, Wain revealed that he's got a Wet Hot prequel in mind. "The prequel would be the same summer," Wain said, "so it would be 40-year-olds playing 16-year-olds. And yeah, we're in the early stages of thinking about that." Still, a new installment of the series has some built-in challenges: Namely, can Wain reunite a big cast that includes stars like Amy Poehler, Paul Rudd, and Bradley Cooper? Also,"We are safely away and you can now enjoy a..." There was a pause, as if the cruise director was having trouble choosing what, exactly, he should call what was about to happen. Finally he said, "...a carefree environment."

The announcement was still reverberating through the ship when the scrotum airing began in earnest; shorts and shirts dropped to the ground and penises dangled in the south Florida sun. Permission had been granted. Now buttocks could swing from side to side with no restrictions, and breasts – finally released from the prison of blouse and brassiere – burst into the open, to be caressed by soft tropical breezes. We were on a boat. One thousand, eight hundred and sixty-six nudists living the "anti-textile" dream.

Not that some of them weren't


almost nude before the cruise director gave the all clear. Many were in various states of undress, itching to toss their clothes aside. A skeletal man in his eighties wandered around the ship wearing only a fluorescent thong, his loose skin draped around his bones in cascades that looked like freckled frosting, and a gigantic, barrel-chested man – he looked like he'd eaten an actual barrel – lumbered around the lido deck on an industrial-strength cane, wearing only a loincloth. A few people soaked in Jacuzzis, surreptitiously slipping out of their swimsuits, while the less rebellious sat by the pool, looking somewhat forlorn, waiting for the green light. These were nudists, after all. And they had paid big bucks to frolic in the buff. When the all clearone of the Holland America Line's more luxurious ships, which meant this was the deluxe version of non-sexual social nude recreation. Meaning nudism. Or naturism. Depending on who you ask. There are several theories floating around about which word means what – historically speaking there are some actual distinctions – but the reality was that I was on a boat with almost 2,000 people who weren't wearing clothes.

I am fascinated by subcultures: the Deadheads and Juggalos who have built unique cultures out of following their favourite bands as they tour the country, the amateur mechanical engineers who build robots in their garages, the home brewers who experiment with beer in their kitchens and the foodies who eat at illegal restaurants in people's homes. People do strange things. They


naked in the dining areas. Or in the bars. Or anywhere for that matter. They were naked on deck and in the screening room, the library, the casino and the buffet line. Nudists crowded around the piano bar and requested songs by Elton John and Billy Joel. The large theatre where stage shows were presented was filled with naked men and women. They were in the elevators, walking down the corridors, playing ping pong, lifting weights in the gym, and guzzling cocktails by the pool.

In the fitness centre someone asked the ship's in-house yoga teacher if people had to wear clothes in the yoga classes. The teacher gave her a curious look and then, as the true reality of the question sunk in – what I can onlyI met a Harvard professor, a radiologist, a tool salesman and a couple of people serving in the armed forces. There were pharmaceutical sales reps, retail clerks, photographers, scientists, doctors, corporate executives, teachers, lawyers, paralegals and people who really didn't want to talk about work while they were on holiday.

And of course not everyone was fat and saggy. There was a large LGBT contingent who were on the healthy end of the body mass index, and there were some actual bona fide young people, trim and tattooed men and women in their twenties who clung together as if the naked retirees were harbingers of some sort of terrifying apocalypse. The naked twentysomethings gazed at the naked seventysomethings as if they could suddenly see the future, like a portal


had opened in the space-time continuum and revealed a dystopian world where gravity and a sedentary lifestyle conspired to make everyone expand and sag. It was heartbreakingly inevitable. Perhaps this glimpse into the abyss explained some of the uninhibited alcohol consumption among the younger set.

The guests on the nude cruise were for the most part Caucasian, although there were a few South Asians, East Asians, and African-Americans in the clothes-free contingent. They came from all over the US and Europe, too: Canadians from Toronto and Quebec, and people from Finland, Australia, Germany and the Netherlands. All these people, coming for the express purpose of standing around on the lido deck of a cruise ship and letting it all hang out.

Although the American forward did not score in her debut, it was not for a lack of opportunity. Just minutes into the contest, Morgan took the opening shot on goal for Lyon, but Guingamp’s keeper Maryne Gignoux-Soulier made a kick-save to prevent her and Lyon from scoring. She then had another solid chance in the 8th minute when she sent a no-look header on frame, but the keeper managed to get a hand on it to knock the shot off its mark.

Although Eugénie Le Sommer scored the game winner for Lyon in the 20th minute, Morgan helped the French club extend its lead in the 26th minute when she sent a cross in to Le Sommer, who easily knocked the ball into the back of the net for a brace. Morgan closed out the first half with another shot on goal in the 45th minute, but she was once again denied and the game went into halftime with Lyon leading 2-0.

Morgan came out just as strong in the second half, eagerly looking for a goal of her own. She had at least one more opportunity in the second half, sending a rocket on target that was stopped by Gignoux-Soulier withOL’s website (translated from French).

With the win and Paris Saint-Germain’s 1-2 loss to Montpellier HSC on Saturday, Lyon now sits atop the D1 Féminine table. If Lyon continues its winning streak, the team can again lose to PSG, arguably its biggest competitor despite currently sitting third behind Montpellier, and still win the league title once more.

Also making her Olympique Lyonnais debut was Canadian-international Kadeisha Buchanan, who played all 90 minutes for her new club.

Although Morgan was in France to play this weekend, she is reported to arrive in California for USWNT January training camp on Monday.


International Conference on the Orthodox Churches and Pluralism Concludes at Holy Cross

Brookline, Mass. – The International Conference entitled &qout;The Orthodox Churches in a Pluralistic World: An Ecumenical Conversation&qout; concluded on Saturday, October 5 with the participants adopting a statement of the proceedings which is included below.

The conference, which was held on the campus of Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology, was jointly sponsored by Holy Cross and the World Council of Churches, and presented in cooperation with the Boston Theological Institute and the Initiatives in Religion and Public Life of Harvard Divinity School. Funding for the event was provided by the Archbishop Iakovos Leadership 100 Endowment Fund, the Marcelle R. Varver Foundation, the Dr. Gregory G. Floridis Endowment, the Dormition of the Virgin Maryand theologians, students and interested members of the community convened at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology in Brookline, Massachusetts to discuss the topic “The Orthodox Churches in a Pluralistic World.” The conference was subtitled “An Ecumenical Conversation” and the speakers represented the diversity of Christian traditions. The conference was co-sponsored by the World Council of Churches and was held in cooperation with the Boston Theological Institute and the Initiatives in Religion and Public Life of Harvard Divinity School. The conversation was enriching and edifying. We thank Holy Cross and the conference sponsors for the opportunity to engage in a conversation on these issues in an atmosphere of mutual respect.

it fails to acknowledge, or deliberately ignores the distinctiveness of others.” Phyletism may be characterized as the idolization of national loyalty, which is not authentic to Orthodox tradition, but rather reflects the manipulation of the Church by the State. While the Orthodox Churches condemned phyletism in 1872, “nationalism remains one of the central problems of the Church,” in the words of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew. Ethnic violence and ethnic cleansing caused by excessive nationalism must be condemned by all people of faith. Violence against one nation in order to “save” another nation sets us against Christ by applying the same logic used to crucify Christ. The Church’s rejection of ethnophyletism is based on Orthodox theological anthropology, which sees the image of God in all persons, and on an incarnationalthe earthquake, are collectively one of the worst in the 50-year history of the international nuclear industry."

Well certainly the incidents are serious - indeed, Ms Lucas seems more concerned about these that with the unfolding humanitarian disasters - but so far no-one has been killed, injured or made ill by the situation at Fukishima. As environmentalist James Lovelock put it in the Guardian:

Blues defenseman Alex Pietrangelo updates the media on Jay Bouwmeester, who suffered a cardiac episode on the bench Tuesday night. (1:23)

St. Louis Blues defenseman Jay Bouwmeester has undergone an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator procedure and his status will be updated next week, the team said in a statement Friday.

The procedure restores the heart's normal rhythm and was done after Bouwmeester suffered a cardiac episode while on the bench during Tuesday night's game in Anaheim, California.

Bouwmeester's procedure was done in Anaheim, and he will return to St. Louis once his release from the hospital is approved. Bouwmeester will then be monitored by doctors at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University.

In his 17th NHL season, Bouwmeester ranks second among active defensemen with 1,241 career games played -- trailing only Zdeno Chara (1,541) --and is fourth among all active players, behind Patrick Marleau (1,709) and Joe Thornton (1,622), as well as Chara.

Bouwmeester, a first-round pick of the Florida Panthers, held one of the longest ironman streaks in NHL history with 737 consecutive regular-season games played until a lower-body injury in 2014. He missed time in 2015-16 with a concussion, and a hip injury ended his 2017-18 season. He played all but four games last season, though, and hasn't missed a game this season.

In April 2019, the Blues signed Bouwmeester to a one-year, $3.25 million deal for this season.

The CDC's announcement comes two weeks after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration released detailed information about 36 people who died after taking kratom and declared that the product likely contains opioids.

It was on a sunny fall afternoon at their house on Little River Road, and Bob grilled salmon while Susan made a salad of greens from their garden.

Since I was new in town, Bob sat down beside me and, leaning forward from the edge of his chair, asked me about myself.

Where was I from? How did I get here?

In a minute, we discovered our common interests: newspaper journalism, music, Mexico, cats.

Wriggling like a kid, Bob showed me what it looks like when somebody is really curious about your story.

Over the next four years, our friendship continued, on long hikes in Olympic National Park, over more salmon dinners and on drives to Port Townsend

Still in a fog of grief, I shared Thanksgiving dinner with Susan's and Bob's family in 2010.

A special gift

THANKSGIVING IS A special time in our home.

It took on new meaning for us when my daughter Hillary was born on Thanksgiving Day.

I was hoping to finish my meal, but this baby was anxious to enter the world.

Her birth was nothing short of miraculous.

She was a twin, and I had lost her sibling during my pregnancy.

Her chances for survival were very slim.

She hung on for dear life, and our family was given a special gift on Thanksgiving.

Every year, when I look across the table at her,

Five-year-old Kurt was in a complete body cast, armpits to toes, his left femur slowly healing from a spiral fracture.

He had broken it in October jumping in leaves on the lawn of the funeral home on the day of his father's burial.

I was working, but money was tight.

A typical holiday dinner was out of the question.

Would the four kids notice a cut-rate holiday?

On Tuesday the phone rang.

It was a local Girl Scout leader who was excited and bubbling with enthusiasm.

I had a hard time matching her sugary words and was uncharacteristically curt to her until I realized what she was saying.

Her troop had decided to adopt a needy family for the holiday and provide the complete meal for them.

I felt a pang of sorrow when I realized thatFive people were killed Saturday in an ambush by suspected Ugandan Islamist rebels in the Beni region of Democratic Republic of Congo’s chronically troubled east, officials said.

Local official Leon Bahungako said the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) group were behind the attack in which three women and two men were killed and eight people wounded on the road between the towns of Eringeti and Oisha in the North Kivu province.

Government forces last month launched an offensive in Beni against the ADF, one of a number of armed groups that hold territory in the eastern DR Congo and are battling for control of the region’s rich mineral resources.

“It was the ADF who attacked their vehicle and killed or injured them,” said Bahungako.

An officer told AFP that the army intervened quickly


to rescue the other passengers.

The head of the hospital in the town of Eringeti said they had “received five bodies riddled with bullets”.

“We are caring for four wounded people and four more are being transferred to Oicha hospital,” said Michel Kalombo.

Present in DR Congo since 1995, the ADF was created by Muslim radicals to oppose Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni’s rule.

Congolese authorities and the UN mission in DR Congo, MONUSCO, accuse the ADF of killing more than 700 civilians as well as combatants in the Beni region since 2014.

Earlier in the month the United Nations imposed sanctions on Congolese general Muhindo Akili over the massacre of at least 400 civilians in Beni by the ADF in 2014 and 2015.

its purpose and operation

by Tony Sale

The machine age comes to Fish codebreaking

The mathematician Max Newman now came on the scene. He thought that it
would be possible to automate some parts of the process for finding the settings used for
each message.

He approached TRE at Malvern to design an electronic
machine to implement the double-delta method of finding wheel start
positions which Bill Tutte had devised. The machine was built at Dollis Hill
and was known as Heath Robinson after the cartoonist designer of fantastic
machines.

There were problems with Heath Robinson keeping two paper tapes in
synchrony at 1,000 characters per second. One tape had punched on to it
the pure Lorenz wheel patterns that the manual code breakers had
laboriously worked out. The other tape was the intercepted enciphered
message tape. The double-delta cross-correlation measurement was


then
made for the whole length of the message tape. The relative positions then
moved one character and the correlation measurement repeated. The codebreaker
was looking for the relative position which gave the highest cross-correlation score — which hopefully would correspond to the correct Lorenz wheel
start position.

Heath Robinson worked well enough to show that Max Newman's concept
was correct. Newman then went to Dollis Hill where he was put in touch with
Tommy Flowers, the brilliant Post Office electronics engineer. Flowers went on to
design and build Colossus to meet Max Newman's requirements for a
machine to speed up the breaking of the Lorenz cipher.

Tommy Flowers' major contribution was to propose that the wheel patterns be
generated electronically in ring circuits thus doing away with one paper tape
and completely eliminating the synchronisation problem.

This required a vast
numberof electronic valves but Tommy Flowers was confident it could be
made to work. He had, before the war, designed Post Office repeaters using
valves. He knew that valves were reliable provided that they were never
switched on and off. Nobody else believed him!

Colossus design started in March 1943. By December 1943 all the various
circuits were working and the 1,500 valve Mark 1 Colossus was dismantled,
shipped up to Bletchley Park, and assembled in F Block over Christmas 1943.
The Mark 1 was operational in January 1944 and successful on its first test
against a real enciphered message tape.

The contribution to D-Day

Colossus reduced the time to break Lorenz messages from weeks to hours.
It was just in time for the deciphering of messages which gave vital information to
Eisenhower and Montgomery prior to D-Day. These deciphered


Lorenz
messages showed that Hitler had swallowed the deception campaigns, the
phantom army in the South of England, the phantom convoys moving east
along the channel; that Hitler was convinced that the attacks were coming
across the Pas de Calais and that he was keeping Panzer divisions in
Belgium. After D-Day the French resistance and the British and American Air
Forces bombed and strafed all the telephone and teleprinter land lines in
Northern France, forced the Germans to use radio communications and
suddenly the volume of intercepted messages went up enormously.

The Mark 1
had been rapidly succeeded by the Mark 2 Colossus in June 1944 and eight more
were quickly built to handle the increase in messages. The Mark 1 was
upgraded to a Mark 2 and there were thus ten Mark 2 Colossi in the Park by the
endof the war. By the end of hostilities, 63 million characters of high grade
German messages had been decrypted — an absolutely staggering output from
just 550 people at Bletchley Park, plus of course the considerable number of
interceptors at Knockholt, with backups at Shaftesbury and Cupar in
Scotland.

The Colossus Computer

Each of the ten Colossi occupied a large room in F Block or H Block in
Bletchley Park.

The racks were 90 inches, (2.3m), high of varying widths.
There were eight racks arranged in two bays about 16ft (5.5m) long plus the
paper tape reader and tape handler (known as the bedstead). The front bay
of racks, spaced 5ft (1.6m) from the rear bay, comprised from right to left, the
J rack holding the master control panel, the plugboard some cathode
followers and the AND gates. Next came the


K rack which contained the very
large main switch panel together with the very distinctive sloping panel at the
front which was a duplicate patch panel for the thyratron rings. Next came the
S rack which held the relays used for buffering counter output and making up
the typewriter drive logic. The left hand rack at the front was the C rack which
held the counter control logic on the front and the decade counters on the
back.

The rear bay of Colossus contained four racks, the R rack holding the
staticiser and delta boards for the paper tape reader output and the K and S-wheel thyratron ring outputs, the M rack for the M-wheel staticisers and S-wheel motion logic. The very large W rack held, on one side all the thyratrons
making up the wheel rings,was expedited by them being horizontal.

How Colossus worked

Colossus read teleprinter characters, in the international Baudot code, at
5,000 characters per second from a paper tape. These characters were
usually the intercepted cipher text which had been transmitted by radio. The
paper tape was joined into a loop with special punched holes at the beginning
and end of the text.

The broad principle of Colossus was to count throughout the length of the text
the number of times that some complicated Boolean function between the
text and the generated wheel patterns had either a true or false result. At the
end of text the count left on the counter circuits was dumped onto relays
before being printed on the typewriter during the next read through the text,
an early form of double buffering.

Colossus had two cycles of operation. The


first one was controlled by the
optical reading of the sprocket holes punched between tracks 2 and 3 on the
paper tape. The sprocket signal was standardised to 40 microseconds wide.
The optical data from the paper tape was sampled on the back edge of the
standardised sprocket pulse as was the outputs from the rings of thyratrons
representing the Lorenz wheel patterns. The result of the logical calculation
was sampled on the leading edge for feeding into the counter circuits.

The second cycle of operations occurred at the beginning and end of the text
punched onto the paper tape. The paper tape was joined into a loop and
special holes were punched just before the start of text between channels
three and four (called the start ) and just after the end of text between
channels four andfive (called the stop). This long cycle of operations began
with the electrical signal from the photocell reading the stop hole on the tape.
This stop pulse set a bistable circuit which stayed set until the optical signal
from the start hole was read. The setting of this bistable thus lasted for the
duration of the blank tape where the text was joined into a loop, typically
about 100 millisec. The first operation after the stop pulse was to release any
settings on the relays from the previous count. Next the new count was read
onto the relays. Then the counters and the thyratron rings were cleared and
then the thyratron rings were struck at the next start point to be tried. When
the bistable was reset by the start pulse, sprocket pulses were released to
precess the


of text covered by the span
counters.

The relay buffer store and printer logic.

Latching relays held the ending count on the decade counters. The start
positions of the thyratron rings and the count for the previous run through the
text are clocked out sequentially on to the typewriter by the printer relay and
uniselector logic.

Programming Colossus

Programming of the cross-correlation algorithm was achieved by a
combination of telephone jack-plugs, cords and switches. The main plug
panel was on the rack nearest to the paper tape reader. The direct and delta
signals from the paper tape reader and the K-wheel thyratron rings were on
this panel. The changeover from direct to delta could also be achieved by
switches. Also on the main plug panel were the input and output sockets for
the AND gates and the so called "Q" sockets whichMelbourne to Alice Springs Overland (Basix)

Somaliland:Trial in Senegal of former Chadian president is a victory for civil society

Hopes have been raised that the victims of atrocities perpetrated more than 25 years ago by the regime of Hissène Habré, Chad’s former president, may at last find justice.

The former dictator is on trial before Senegal’s Extraordinary African Chambers for crimes including the politically motivated murders of at least 40,000 people. It is the first case of international justice to be prosecuted on African soil.

The chambers were established by Senegal at the request of the African Union in 2013 to prosecute people accused of committing genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and torture in Chad under Habré’s rule. Habré has been living in exile in Senegal since 1990. He was in power from 1982 to 1990,Wind / Hymn Of A Thousand Voices / Our New World / Power Down / Astonishing

More information: Dream Theater, one of the most prolific and iconic progressive rock bands of the last thirty years, release their eagerly awaited double concept album, 'The Astonishing' - consisting of 34 tracks spread across 2 Acts (approximately 2 hours 10 mins of music), woven around an absorbing story written by Petrucci.

The album was recorded at Cove City Sound Studios in Glen Cove, New York, with John Petrucci producing, studio luminary Richard Chycki (Aerosmith, Rush) engineering/mixing and legendary arranger, composer and conductor David Campbell orchestrating (whose extensive credits include work for film, Broadway, and more than 450 gold/platinum albums by the likes of Paul McCartney, Adele, Rush, Beyonce, Muse, My Chemical Romance, Justin


Timberlake, and Campbell's son, Beck).

Campbell comments, "Probably the most ambitious album project Iíve known, for its stylistic scope and epic forces. In addition to being ace musicians at a stellar level, Dream Theater are masters of melodic and rhythmic excitement, which is dramatically demonstrated when you hear their music accompanied by full orchestra and choirs.Ē

'The Astonishing' paints a tale of a retro-futurist post-apocalyptic dystopia ruled by medieval style feudalism. Itís a place aching for a Chosen One to rise above the noise and defeat an Empire defined by the endless drone of noise machines and the illusion of safety in bland conformity.World Health Organization.^\[[@R7]\]^

Increasing health disparities across the globe has led to a wide array of governmental and educational initiatives. Each initiative is responding to the need to better prepare students and healthcare providers to promote a more culturally competent healthcare system. In 2009, the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) in the United States announced a new cultural and linguistic competence (CLC) standard "to assure that cultural and linguistic understanding is effectively integrated into physician education".[@r1] Additionally, in 2011 the Health and Human Service (HHS) agency in the United States defined clinical cultural competence \[now often referred to as cultural humility in many research journal publications\] as "the ability of health care professionals to communicate with and effectively provide high-quality care to patients from diverse sociocultural backgrounds."[@r2]Most recently inJuly 2012, a joint expert panel of educators was convened by the Association of American Medical Colleges and the Association of Schools in Public Health.[@r3] The panel was charged with identifying a set of competencies appropriate for learners in both disciplines to prepare culturally competent practitioners. The joint panel built upon existing research including the 2003 Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) addition of a "cultural competence" component to its accreditation standards requiring US and Canadian medical schools to ensure its students and faculty are able to demonstrate an understanding of the role culture has on patients' perceptions of illness, and treatment, and overall healthcare delivery.[@r3]^-^[@r5] Regardless of the specific definition of cultural competence, it is widely agreed that this far-reaching topic needs increased attention within healthcare curriculum

Participants and sample size
----------------------------

Study participants included all third-year medical students at the UMMS who were required to participate and complete evaluations in a multicultural interclerkship, one of several required one-day courses between clerkships, designed to present curriculum topics that cross all specialties. The interclerkship is designed to teach narrative interviewing techniques followed by skills practice as a means to better understanding patients' health beliefs and practices, histories of immigration, and experiences of seeking and obtaining healthcare. Initial design of the curriculum included standardized patients for small group practice. However, students and faculty both concluded that this was an inappropriate use of standardized patients, missing an opportunity for authentic discovery and risking stereotyping.Moore devoted an entire chapter ("The Weak Arm of the Law") of his autobiography to denouncing modern British society, particularly "motorist-hunting" policemen, sentencing policy, as well as the Race Relations Act, Sex Discrimination Act and the "Thought Police / Politically Correct Brigade". He later wrote that "homosexuals are mainly responsible for the spreading of AIDS (the Garden of Eden is home of Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve)".


Hawley wins paint job

Hawley has been named one of 20 communities throughout the United States and Canada to win a contest to have its downtown Main Avenue storefronts repainted—for free. The contest, called “Main Street Matters,” was sponsored by paint manufacturer Benjamin Moore. The contest involved having people vote online. Among the list of 100 towns nominated was Narrowsburg, NY.

In Hawley, local residents hope that being on the list of winners will help put their town on the map. Other towns that won include Sea Bright, NJ, which was hit hard in Hurricane Sandy in 2012 and Joplin, MO, which is still recovering from a devastating tornado in 2011.

Skills Academy Case Studies

William Taylor

Although William Taylor has always been interested in architecture and the built environment, poor school grades meant it looked unlikely that he’d ever be able to pursue his dream job.

However several years of hard work at Leeds College of Building meant that in the summer of 2014 he secured a place to study architecture at the University of Bristol.

William attended Prince Henry’s Grammar School at Otley and when he was 14 he took advantage of a unique partnership, known as the 14-16 Skills Academy, that the school had established with Leeds College of Building.

The 14-16 Skills Academy aims to deliver a comprehensive range of high-quality construction and building related vocational learning opportunities to school pupils aged between 14 and 16.

As noted, there is apparently backstage heat on Baron Corbin, which resulted in him cashing in the Money In The Bank contract and losing. That was followed by Corbin losing a basic match to John Cena at SummerSlam on Sunday night. When WWE uploaded a clip from the match on their YouTube channel, they only showed Cena's entrance.

It was rumored that Corbin may have had heat over some of the comments he's made on Twitter, including to a military veteran, which he apologized for. However, Justin Barraso of Sports Illustrated appeared on Wednesday's edition of the Wrestling Inc. podcast, as seen above, and said there was another reason for his heat.

"I heard the kiss of death was Cena," Barasso said, which you can watch at the 4:30 markThe New York Times is accepting, even supportive, of liberal Democrats who protest the disappointing results of free and fair elections. Democratic Georgia gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams' classless attempts to poison the well after her close defeat at the hands of Republican Brian Kemp were greeted with consolation on the front page of the New York Times in “Democrat Ends Bid in Georgia For Governor,” by Alan Blinder and Richard Fausset.

The paper also supported attempts by liberals to overturn Donald Trump’s victory in 2016. But after Trump hypothetically raised the possibility pre-election of not respecting the results, there were accusations of dictatorship.

Blinder and Fausset wrote for Saturday’s edition:

Ms. Abrams made her announcement as the state became eligible to certify the election results, and it left Mr. Kemp, whose brash allegiance to hard-line conservatism made him an object of national fascination and scorn, poised to become governor in January. As Ms. Abrams ended her campaign, she returned to a theme that had surfaced throughout: that Mr. Kemp, who was the Georgia secretary of state until the Thursday after the election, had used his position to suppress voting and ease his path into the governor’s mansion. .... Mr. Kemp declared victory two days after the election and appointed a chief of staff for his transition. He also resigned as secretary of state, ending his oversight of the elections.

Frank Gore sent a shockwave through the Eagles complex last week when he left Philadelphia at the altar for the Indianapolis Colts.

The former 49ers running back acknowledged that he was minutes away from joining Chip Kelly's squad before making one last request of his agent.

"I told (him) to talk back with the Colts and see if they would match the deal or make it better," Gore told ESPN's Josina Anderson, per the team's official website. "And they did. That's where I wanted to be so that's why I made the decision."

On the latest podcast, we listed the Colts as one of the teams that strengthened their roster because of the additions on offense. Veteran wideout Andre Johnson finished last season with a flourish and still has plenty lefton day 2 of the draft.

Frank Gore will be wearing No. 23 in Indianapolis, the opposite number of another great Miami running back for the Colts (Edgerrin James). Johnson has gone with No. 81 as he begins a “new chapter” in his life.

Former Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis has filed a lawsuit against his former attorney and business partner, alleging that he was duped out of more than $1.5 million after lending his name to a development project in Hunt Valley that never materialized.

In the lawsuit, filed against Marc Seldin Rosen in Baltimore Circuit Court, Lewis alleges that he believed he was only lending his name and likeness to the MVP Lanes entertainment complex, a Hunt Valley bowling alley project.

Lewis alleges that Rosen persuaded him to sign a line


said.

Lewis and Rosen worked together for years, and Rosen was a member of the board of directors for Lewis' nonprofit foundation.

The sports-themed development project was to include a bowling alley, an arcade and restaurants, with visions of it becoming a national chain. At the time, Lewis was said to have a majority stake, with Rosen and Rosen's wife as minority partners.

"Instead of putting on a helmet, you put on a tie and a suit," Lewis said in 2009 about the project. "That's where my next phase in life is going — the building and giving back to who we are in this world."

In the lawsuit, Lewis says he only lent his "name and likeness to the project for the purpose of attracting potential investors and promoting the project."

"Lewiswhich point he stopped and Lewis was required to make them to avoid default.

MVP is now out of business, and the project has been abandoned.

The project's troubles were apparent by 2012, with subcontractors filing suit against MVP and MVP suing a New England financier for failing to deliver on funds.

The financier was ordered in 2011 to give MVP $90,000, the amount the company had deposited into a trust in hopes of securing a $65 million line of credit that never materialized.

Lewis retired in 2013 and has been working as a contributor to ESPN. Before the MVP project, he opened a barbecue restaurant in Canton that closed four years later.

Ryan Braun has stumbled out of the gate so far this spring. He has failed to record a hit through


12 plate appearances and has struck out five times. He has also walked three times.

Fantasy Impact: While not recording a hit thus far this spring isn't necessarily a big deal for Braun, he is coming off a career-low .266 batting average in 2014. Braun's numbers were down all across the board last year and he may be showing signs of regression. He should still be drafted as an elite outfielder but don't be caught off guard by a continued slump.

The veteran reliever, invited to the Milwaukee Brewers' spring camp as a nonroster player, must be told by March 31 if he is being placed on the 40-man roster, assigned to Class AAA Colorado Springs or getting released.

With more relievers in camp than available spots, it doesn't seem toa nonroster player) doesn't help but we're hoping we take our best guys."

When the D-backs acquired Peter O'Brien from the Yankees in a trade deadline deal last summer, they knew the catcher could hit. His defense presented some different quandaries, and another has reared up in recent days.

The organization and observers aren't ready to dub it a case of the dreaded "yips," but O'Brien has shown some struggles in getting the ball accurately back to the pitcher's mound and elsewhere around the diamond. According to a report Monday from azcentral.com, Arizona's No. 8 prospect didn't get the ball back to his pitcher accurately at least four times in a Minor League game last Thursday. The problem flared up again Sunday with over six more errant throws, including some


to third base after bases-empty strikeouts.

The catcher was unfazed by the issue when asked this week, saying, "I played a lot of different positions last year and had a lot of different arm angles. Now being back behind the plate full time, it's making sure I keep my arm slot consistent back there and keep throwing it and keep the tempo of the game up. It happens. It's part of the game. I'm looking to keep working on it and keep getting better and keep firing the ball."

On Wednesday at the D-backs offices at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick, Arizona director of player development Mike Bell echoed that sentiment.

"He'll take care of it," Bell said. "It is a challenging game when you're bouncing around from position toposition. There are different arm angles. He'll be fine with it and put the work into it that he needs to. He's done a good job."

O'Brien played first base, catcher and right field and served as a designated hitter in 106 combined games between the New York and Arizona systems last year. The 24-year-old was chasing the Minor League home run lead when he fouled a ball off his shin in just his fourth game as a member of the D-backs organization in August. He missed the rest of the year but appeared in 25 Arizona Fall League games, batting .256/.393/.512 for Salt River.

O'Brien started in Thursday night's Major League game for Arizona and went 0-for-3 with a walk.

Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun is expected to play in consecutive


playing a ton.

It has been a good spring training for three players with local ties in the major league camp of the defending American League champion Kansas City Royals.

Former Owasso lefty Brian Flynn, acquired in the offseason from Miami, has been a starter in his pro career, but is showing his future may be in the bullpen.

Flynn has a 2.25 ERA in five spring appearances, including four in relief. He has allowed six hits in eight innings, walked one and struck out six.

Adams, an outfielder from Red Oak, spent the last month of the 2014 regular season with the Royals. On Wednesday, he was sent down to Triple-A Omaha, after batting .286 with a homer in 10 games this spring.

Jackson, an infielder with family ties to Tulsa, wasonce a hot prospect for the St. Louis Cardinals and appeared to have been viewed by them ahead of Owasso's Pete Kozma for a time back in 2011-12. Since then, Jackson has been bothered by injuries and bounced around from the Cards to the Astros to the Padres to the Dodgers and now to the Royals, where he may have finally found a home.

Cardinals outfielder Jon Jay (wrist) is on track to make his spring debut Friday against the Mets, per MLB.com.

Jay played in a simulated game Wednesday against minor leaguers. He took 13 at-bats, totaling two singles, one double, one stolen base and one run.

"Obviously, I've been through a lot this offseason with surgery and rehab," Jay said after Wednesday's simulated game. "It's good to finally get


ready for the season. It doesn't matter where it's at.

"Each time out, I'm feeling a little better, a little sharper, a little crisper. Spring training is weird. (Tuesday) was probably the worst I've felt playing catch in the morning. I was a little stiff after the off day (Monday). But it was a hot day, which is good, and I threw the ball OK. I was ahead (in the count) more. The goal is to improve every time out."

Vince Wilfork still has some gas in the tank, and he's heading down to Patriots South to finish his career.

The veteran nose tackle and career-long New Englander will play for the Houston Texans, the team announced on Monday. The Texans' staff has his former teammate Mike Vrabel on the coachinggo a long way toward supplementing the team's offense.

The Indianapolis Colts made quite a splash in free agency by landing highly sought after veteran wide receiver Andre Johnson just two days after he was released. Two former Colts veteran receivers aren't receiving the same treatment from other teams, however.

According to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio, Hakeem Nicks has been one of a number of receivers who has generated "little to no interest" so far during the free agency period, while the market for Reggie Wayne has similarly been "MIA throughout the first seven days of free agency."

It doesn't really come as much of a surprise that there is currently little interest for either player, though as the offseason moves on it's more likely that one or both of


the players could receive some attention from teams. They were never going to be near the first wave of free agency, though, and so as we're just one week into the free agency period it's no surprise to see neither generating much interest.

Wayne, a borderline Hall of Famer who is one of the greatest Colts of all-time, had a down year in 2014 as he played much of the season with a torn triceps, catching 64 passes for 779 yards and two scores on the year. The team announced that they would not be re-signing the fan favorite, though he might listen to offers from contenders.

Nicks signed with the Colts last offseason on a "prove it," and, well, he didn't really prove it. For much of the seasonhe was completely ineffective and had no timing with Andrew Luck, though he noticeably improved as the season went on. Playing in all 16 games and starting six, Nicks caught 38 passes for 405 yards and four scores.

When Jimmy Graham was traded to the Seattle Seahawks at the start of free agency, just about everyone was stunned. It ignited what would be the craziest free agency frenzy in NFL history. One young Saints fan was more upset than most when she found out that her favorite player had been traded.

Seeing your favorite player leave is tough for many fans, especially younger ones.

Last week a video went viral of young 7-year-old Saints fan Lexia Woods who tearfully discussed the departure of the tight end.

“Wherever Jimmy Graham goes is where


put him in the right scheme he will be excellent," Portis told stateoftheu.com. "I can see the 49ers taking a long look at him with Patrick Willis retiring. Picking up a linebacker who comes with his attitude would really help them."

Willis retired last week at age 30 after a prolific but abbreviated eight-year career. Perryman was the soul of the Hurricanes' defense last year and is their top defensive draft prospect amid a cast of offensive prospects that includes running back Duke Johnson, wide receiver Phillip Dorsett, tackle Ereck Flowers and tight end Clive Walford.

But while Perryman might be a good fit for the 49ers, the draft order suggests he might not fit any of the club's draft choices. Perryman is regarded as a late-first or early second-roundprospect. Two of five NFL Media analysts project him as a late first-round pick, and Portis sees him as a late-first or early second-rounder as well. The trouble is, San Francisco picks at No. 15 in the first round -- perhaps too rich of a pick for Perryman's draft value -- and by the time the club selects again in the middle of the second round, Perryman could easily be wearing another club's hat.

A trade up or down might be required to facilitate a Perryman-49ers marriage. Regardless, Portis likes Perryman above all the other Miami prospects on the offensive side of the ball. He likened Perryman to former NFL linebackers London Fletcher, Al Wilson and Nate Webster.

"I definitely think he will go at the end of the first


or early in the second round," Portis said. "Watching the film of all of the players from Miami, the person who stood out the most was Denzel, because of how he attacked the ball. He sometimes even played off double teams -- a linebacker should never face double teams."Other thoughts from Portis on Miami's top prospects:

» On Johnson: "I think Duke probably is most talented running back to ever come out of the University of Miami."That's high praise, given the long list of UM backs to have big NFL careers, including Edgerrin James and Portis himself.

» On Dorsett: "When you look at that Florida State game, Phillip Dorsett still hasn't been covered. They should have never stopped getting him the ball."Dorsett had four catches for 90 yards andI never wake up in the middle of the night, and it was 4:33 Monday morning, and I got an email to my phone. And the email said, 'Orbitz alert: flights to Chicago, discount fair.' And I'm like, 'wow,' you know what I mean?"

Rolle, 32, played five seasons with the Giants, but the franchise had little interest in bringing him back this offseason. Rolle visited the Chicago Bears at the start of free agency Tuesday and signed his contract a day later.

He was one of the Giants’ most vocal leaders during his time in East Rutherford.

The Chiefs signed wide receiver Jeremy Maclin this week, reuniting him with coach Andy Reid and others who were in the Eagles organization earlier in Maclin’s career.

On Friday, they re-signed a player that


Maclin also knows from his days in Philly. The Chiefs announced that they have re-signed wide receiver Jason Avant, who joined them in November after an uneventful stint with the Panthers.

Avant caught 13 passes for 152 yards in five games with the team and his return extends a working relationship with Reid that dates back to when the Eagles picked Avant in the fourth round of the 2006 draft. Avant was never the most dynamic receiver, but he’s been a reliable possession receiver throughout his career and could remain one for a receiving corps that’s still thin beyond Maclin.

The team also announced that they’ve re-signed tight end Richard Gordon and safety Kelcie McCray. McCray had 11 tackles while playing mostly on special teams in all 16 games lastnow, man, and it’s like I told him yesterday, ‘Coach, when you get inducted into the Hall of Fame you better give me a call because I want to the right there up front and center.’’’

Rolle said he decided between the Bears and the Redskins and that he did not receive an offer from the Giants until he was about to sign in Chicago. There also was interest from the Jets, he said, but said it “would have been weird being in a Jets uniform.’’

A signal that he was headed to the Bears, Rolle said, came after he prayed for some guidance and was awakened in the middle of the night by an email alert from the travel website Orbitz offering discount fares to Chicago.

Rolle mentioned his age


here?” Franklin told reporters during his introductory news conference last week.

Franklin said he was born with a nasty disposition, and it’s one of the reasons the San Diego Chargers signed him to a five-year, $36.5 million deal in free agency.Facing someone who will compete with a chip on his shoulder comes with the territory when a defensive lineman lines up across from the mammoth Franklin. And although Chargers general manager Tom Telesco wanted to improve the team’s toughness up front, he was more attracted to Franklin’s overall skillset as an offensive lineman.

The Chargers were one of the worst teams running the football last season, averaging 3.43 yards per carry, second worst in the NFL. Quarterback Philip Rivers was sacked 36 times, No. 10 in the NFL. The Chargersreceiver spent 14 seasons with the Indianapolis Colts, racking up six Pro Bowl appearances along with three selections as a first-team All-Pro. The team decided not to offer him a new contract this year, making him a free agent.

On Friday, Wayne sent a letter to all the Colts fans via the IndyStar. Here it is in full:

With the 30th pick in the 2001 NFL draft, the Indianapolis Colts decided to take a chance on me. They allowed me to wear the horseshoe and represent the organization. With that pick they made my childhood dream come true. I bled blue and white for 14 years, and I was truly grateful for the opportunity to play a kids game week in and week out. Everyone who plays this game has


to stay healthy and play at his top level the past few years. The Texans, meanwhile, were simply willing to try new things at the position, though, arguably, Johnson’s struggles could also be blamed on not having a legitimate quarterback for much of that time.

Like most of the football world, Jimmy Graham was shocked he was traded from the New Orleans Saints on Tuesday, just a year after inking the richest contract ever for a tight end.

Speaking with reporters on a conference call Thursday the new Seahawk said when Saints coach Sean Payton called him to relay news of the trade he thought he'd end up on one of the teams with a lot of cap space -- Oakland Raiders, Jacksonville Jaguars.

"But when he told me Seattle, itdefinitely put a grin on my face," Graham said, per the Seattle Times.

The 28-year-old has had some notable run-ins with the Seahawks -- both pre and in game -- in the past but is glad he's joining the back-to-back NFC champions."I've had some battles clearly against their defense the last couple of years," Graham said. "We've struggled against them as a team as a whole. It's probably the one game as a player you always look forward to because they're always so good, and it's usually a prime-time game.

"So for me it was a moment of shock, but once that shock cleared, I realized that I was going to the best team in football."

The best football team in the NFC just got better thanks to the Saints.

chapel Sterling was president of, giving letters to Martin stating that Rolle had made contributions of $632,000 in 2005, and $1,901,000 in 2006. The contributions were then utilized by Martin and Sterling to create large refunds which were then deposited into accounts owned by Martin without Rolle's knowledge.

Rolle also went through some tax problems with the IRS, perhaps as a result of Martin's negligence.

In January 2010, Forbes reported that the Internal Revenue Service had sent Rolle a $2.2 million demand for back taxes for underreporting his tax income by 50 percent for the years 2005 and 2006. Martin said he was "outraged" and that it was "totally inappropriate" for the business magazine to have looked at tax court filings, even though they are in the public record, Forbesreported at the time. Rolle says he fired Martin in 2012, after the IRS sent him a notice of lien. The accountant he hired to replace Martin uncovered the fraud with the help of the National Football League's Investigative Services, after taking a closer look at his tax records, Rolle says.

Here's hoping Rolle gets this straightened out and receives every last cent he's owed if the courts rule that his former lawyers acted maliciously. NFL players have enough to be concerned about financially without fully guaranteed contracts, to also worry about being potentially ripped off by their lawyers.

As soon as the Cleveland Cavaliers got a commitment from LeBron James this summer, their first free agency moves were to sign three veteran wings to provide depth at the Cavs'


weakest spot. Mike Miller, Shawn Marion, and James Jones were brought in on relatively cheap contracts in order to fill in the bench depth behind LeBron James and Dion Waiters on the wing, and to provide specific skills for short spurts: Miller and Jones were to provide shooting, and Marion was here to provide wing defense.

So far, there's been some disappointment regarding the play of these three. Marion has been a pretty solid defensive player throughout the season, but offensively he's been very iffy, particularly his shooting, and he's dealt with a fair share of injuries this season, ultimately missing the last 13 games before the Cavs' game against the Heat on Monday with a hip issue. Miller has fallen off a cliff on both ends, shooting just32 percent from both the field and three this season, and with the additions of Iman Shumpert and J.R. Smith, he's completely fallen out of the rotation; Miller last played more than 13 minutes in a game on January 11th, and his removal from the rotation has coincided with the Cavs' big second-half turnaround. Jones, meanwhile, hasn't done anything but shoot this season, though you could hardly call him a disappointment, as no one really expected much of him coming in.

As we hit the stretch run, though, it's Jones, not Marion or Miller, that's still playing regular rotation minutes. Over the last 15 games, Jones has averaged 17 minutes per game, far more than the 5.5 Miller has received in half the amount of games played. While Marion


has sat out with his hip issues, Jones has stepped in as a regular part of the rotation, and he's outperformed the way he did earlier in the season when he was seeing around 10-11 minutes per game. He's averaged 4.4 points per game this season on 37.7 percent shooting, but over the last 15 games, that's increased to 6.7 points per game on a much more lethal 42 percent shooting. His three-point percentage has increased to 43.3 percent, tops on the team over that stretch, and even his astronomical three-point rate, buzzing along at 89.9 percent of his total attempts this season, has increased to 91.8 percent over the last 15.

Jones has been much more effective as the Cavs have found a more concrete role for himto play as a pseudo-stretch four in the second and fourth quarters. Over this recent stretch of games, Jones has been playing a majority of his minutes in lineups with Tristan Thompson at the five and one or both of Kyrie Irving and LeBron on the floor. The results of this have been mostly good. Here's the list of the top five Jones lineups of the last 15 games, minus the garbage time squad of Jones, Joe Harris, Matthew Dellavedova, Mike Miller, and Kendrick Perkins.

As you can see, even though it's woefully small sample size, the offensive capabilities of these groups are quite remarkable. Jones is able to stretch the floor in ways that guys like Miller, Marion, and even Shumpert cannot, and using Jones as a four


Jay. The 30-year old had offseason wrist surgery to correct an injury that plagued him for a decent part of the 2014 season.

You wouldn't know it by his .483 postseason batting average but it was there nonetheless.

The Cardinals and Jay have been very slow to push the center fielder back into game duty so far this spring. He's worked a lot in the cage, he's taken at-bats in live pitching practice against the starters. He's done almost everything there is to do.

Except play in a Grapefruit League game, that is.

"The goal is to be ready April 5th so we're on a schedule and we're just trying to be smart about it," Jay said. "We'll see what happens. You never know when you get your timing back but it'shopefully sooner than later."

A big influence on Jay thus far has been newly acquired right fielder Jason Heyward. The two have spent a lot of time together and appear to be creating a bond. After all, Jay did lose his almost all of his good friends to trades and releases the last couple years. David Freese is an Angel, Daniel Descalso is a Rockie and Allen Craig is a Red Sox.

So having Heyward around help from a personal as well as professional standpoint.

"We all know (Jason's) reputation. He's a great baseball player and a great dude so it's been great to have him here," Jay said. "We've welcomed him with open arms and it's like he's always been here. It's amazing to see how poised he is for


his age (25). He was a young big leaguer. He came into this thing at 20 years old so the way he handles himself is impressive for a younger guy.

The latest round came in the wake of Aubrey Huff's Facebook post, in which Huff paints a picture of Sandoval that wasn't necessarily portrayed during his years in San Francisco to fans or media.

Sandoval's response to the former Giants first baseman?

"Who is Aubrey Huff?" he told ESPN Boston. "What is important here is to see where the person who made those comments is, and where I am now, that's what counts."

Huff was the Giants home run leader in 2010, when they won their first championship in San Francisco. Sandoval spent most of the 2010 playoffs on the bench becausesuch as tossing the ball back to the pitcher or throwing the ball to third base after a strikeout have been wild. Via the Arizona Republic, O'Brien said he is working on gaining better control when throwing the ball.

"It's part of the game," O'Brien said. "We throw the baseball so much. I've been working on it, getting it under control and making sure I keep the tempo of the game up and keep working from there."

O'Brien chalked up the issues to playing a lot of different positions a year ago. Now that he's behind the plate, he said it's just a matter of repetition.

"I played a lot of different positions last year and had a lot of different arm angles," he said. "Now being back behind the plate


year became the first National League pitcher in 47 years to win both the MVP and Cy Young Award in the same season. Now he wants to get better.

"That's what I think we love about him," Manager Don Mattingly said of Kershaw, who gave up a run, four hits and three walks in 3 1/3 innings. "He's always going to be striving for perfection."

Grandal will learn. Sunday was his first experience catching Kershaw and a rapport between the two was clearly lacking. The Mariners loaded the bases against Kershaw in the first inning and got two runners on in the second, and Kershaw gave up a double, a walk and a wild pitch in the third, when Seattle scored its only run.

For Kershaw and Grandal, chemistry class isAuto Exchange Stadium.

Just silence.

This Rodriguez, after all, was the other Rodriguez in Yankees camp: Eddy Rodriguez, a 29-year-old journeyman catcher. Not the famous No. 13, Alex Rodriguez, although if you add the two digits on the back of Eddy Rodriguez’s pinstriped jersey, they equal 13. He wears No. 67, a sure sign that he is a nonroster invitee, though one whose journey, in his telling, is worthy of an ovation.

On a balmy summer day, Aug. 31, 1993, Rodriguez, then age 7, gathered with his family in El Santo, a speck of land on the northern part of Cuba protected by several barrier keys. The family often went there to fish. What young Eddy did not realize was that his father, Edilio, had been burying drums of diesel fuel


opened up,” he said. “It was like a clear tunnel for us.”

With the little fuel they had left, they motored into calmer waters. Eventually, a freighter en route to Chile, from New York, spotted them. The crew fed them scrambled eggs, bread, apples, cantaloupe, bananas, water and coffee.

The freighter also radioed the United States Coast Guard. Almost five hours later, the Rodriguez family arrived in Miami, where relatives helped them settle into a small apartment.

Rodriguez went from playing baseball with broomsticks and wadded-up medical tape passing as a ball to playing with real equipment. He latched onto a South Florida player with the same surname: Alex Rodriguez.

“I had a plaque of him in my bedroom, when he played for Seattle,” Eddy Rodriguez said. “My friends started calling meE-Rod.

“Later, when I began playing catcher, Pudge Rodriguez became my favorite player,” he added, referring to Ivan Rodriguez.

Rodriguez said he told his mother that one day he would attend the University of Miami, and when he was a high school sophomore, the program sent him a questionnaire.

“When I saw it, I cried,” he said. He eventually played for the Hurricanes before signing with the Cincinnati Reds as a 20th-round draft pick in 2006.

The Yankees are Rodriguez’s fifth organization in 10 years, with his only major league experience coming in 2012, when he had five at-bats with the San Diego Padres, hitting a home run in his first plate appearance. His career minor league batting average is .235.

Last season, he worked as a minor league coach in the Boston


the portal of the tunnel she noticed the traffic ahead was slowing and that she must stop. She did so inside the tunnel immediately behind a car which had stopped along with other cars in the tunnel. After a few seconds her car was struck a violent blow by the Fitzgerald car which was immediately behind her.
Mr. Fitzgerald testified that he was following the flow of traffic and was driving about 50 feet behind the Vanderhoff vehicle at a speed of 35 to 40 miles per hour; that he noticed the cars ahead were beginning to stop; and that the car in front had stopped in the tunnel. He applied his brakes in a normal manner. The brakes took hold but the car did not stop, instead it"skied literally as though I was on ice." Mr. Fitzgerald took his foot off the brake for an instant and then reapplied it in order to get traction. The tires then took hold but not in time to avoid a collision. Dorothy Fitzgerald was a passenger in her husband's car and testified to the same effect, although she thought her husband's estimate of speed was too high. The maximum speed limit at the point of collision was 40 miles per hour.
Mr. Fitzgerald further testified that he examined the conditions of the road immediately after the accident and observed that water cascaded off the face of the tunnel portal and flowed in a sheet across the road to a drain on the north side of the road. He said


that immediately inside the tunnel, where water had been carried by the tires of vehicles, the roadway appeared to be covered by an oil film creating an extremely slippery condition.
Mrs. Vanderhoff was taken to Providence Hospital after the accident. She sustained injuries to her mouth, teeth, and a cervical and dorsal sprain. A urinalysis disclosed red blood cells which continued to appear on subsequent examinations so her attending physician, Dr. Sauntry, referred her to an internist, Dr. Kohler. He conducted further examinations, *105 and when the condition did not improve, referred Mrs. Vanderhoff to Dr. Julian Ansell, chairman of the Department of Urology at the University of Washington Medical School. In August 1962, Dr. Ansell found a tumor in the bladder. The tumor was removed, but other tumorsappeared which were diagnosed as cancerous. These were also removed in surgical procedures performed on several occasions in 1963, 1964 and 1965. Finally, the entire bladder was removed in September 1965. Medical and hospital expenses in excess of $8,000 were incurred. Mr. and Mrs. Vanderhoff commenced this action contending Mr. Fitzgerald's alleged negligence caused the injuries to mouth, teeth and upper back, and in addition, caused a previously existing cancerous condition to be accelerated. The Fitzgeralds denied negligence and particularly denied that the accident caused or contributed to Mrs. Vanderhoff's cancerous condition.
The trial judge directed a verdict against defendants Fitzgerald on the issue of liability and submitted the question of damages to a jury which rendered a verdict against defendants in the sum of $10,000. Judgment was entered


procedures to combat the recurring growth in the bladder because there was no showing of causal connection between the accident and the necessity of such treatments. Dr. John P. Sauntry testified that in his opinion the first tumor was benign and that the normal life expectancy with such benign tumor was 5 to 20 years. He also was of the opinion that the accident accelerated the growth of the tumor. Another medical witness testified that he believed the first tumor to be benign at the time of the first surgical procedure and that the normal life expectancy with such condition was 5 to 20 years. It is undisputed that the cancerous condition advanced very rapidly after being discovered, and her life expectancy at the time time of trialSouters met tight deadline to install ‘elastic’ pitch

Glasgow Rangers Football Club’s pitch is looking – and playing – extremely well this season. And this is, in no small part, due to extensive work carried out by the team from the Cumbernauld branch of Souters Sports.

In just seven weeks during the summer, its staff worked day and night to install a new pitch at Ibrox, which features a 100mm Fibrelastic rootzone from Mansfield sand – a first for Scotland and only the third pitch of its kind in Britain.

And the club also had every confidence that the company had the expertise and professionalism to complete what was an ambitious project for such a small work window to the highest possible standard and in time for the start of this


was installed up to within 100mm of the final surface,” says project manager Robert Tait.

“We then filled the top 100mm with the new Fibrelastic product – sand mixed with synthetic fibres that contain a percentage of elastic. Grass seed – Rigby Taylor R14 as specified by Glasgow Rangers FC and the STRI – was then sown into this on June 3.”

The pitch may be ‘elastic’ but there was no room to stretch the work completion deadline. Souters drew upon all their experience and expertise to ensure that the project ran smoothly. Despite the tight timescale that put his team under immense pressure, the project was a huge success, according to Robert. “Our staff rose to the challenge, working long hours and, on occasions, through the night under floodSearch America's historic newspaper pages from 1836-1922 or use the U.S. Newspaper Directory to find information about American newspapers published between 1690-present.

The following is the (nil text (received by
cable) of thc important circular letter from
Bismarck concerning the means and con?
ditions ol peace addressed to the North Ger?
man representatives abroad:
MEAUX, Friday, September 16.
Your Excellency is iamiliar with the circular
which M. Jules Favre has addressed to the
loreign representatives of France in the name
of the men at present holding power in Paris,
and who call themselves "Le Gouvernement de
la Defence National." I have learnedsimul?
taneously that M. Thiers has entered upon a
confidential mission to the foreign courts, and
I may presume that he will endeavor on the
one side to create a bellefin the love for peace
of the present Parisian government, and on
Hie other side will request the intervention of
the neutral powers in favor of a peace which
shall deprive Germany of the fruits of her vic?
tories, and for the purpose of preventing every
basis of peace which would make the next .at?
tack of France on Germany more difficult.
We cannot believe in the sincerity ot the
present Parisian government to make peace
so long as it continues by its language and its
acts at home to excite the passions of the peo?
ple and to increase the hatred and bitterness
ol a population stung by the sufferings ol'war,
and to repudiate in


They are prescribed to us
by the nature of things, and by the law of self
defence against a violent and hostile neighbor.
The unanimous voice of the Germanic Gov?
ernments and the German people demands
that Germany shall be protected by better
boundaries than we have hitherto had against
the dangers and violence we have experienced
from all French Governments lor centuries.
So long as France remains in possession of
Strasbourg and Metz, so long ls Its offensive
strategically stronger than our defensive so
far as all South Germany and North Germany
on the left bank of the Rhino are concerned.
Strasbourg in the possession of France is a
gate wide open for an attack on South Ger?
many. In the hands of Germany, Strasbourg
and Metz obtain a delcnslvc character.
In more than twenty wars we have never
been the aggressors on France; and: weto uphold Turkey as they baa with Russia
combined to prostrute her In the war of Greek
independence-a fatal concession to Russian
policy and statecraft. I":.mee and Prussia
now have their hands mons i .ian lull. Italy ls
probably In alliance with Russia. The ouly
powers really to be considered In the matter
arc Austria and England.
Great Britain has shown herself conspicu?
ously Indifferent. If not supine, In the Franco
Prussian war. Whether she can be stirred
into action on behalf of Turkey remains to be
seen. Her standing army ls the constant
theme of ridicule to her own press.
The chief iuterest of England In un Eastern
war would be in the short road to her Indian
possessions by the Black Sea, the Dardanelles
and the Isthmus of Suez. Hardly less direct
ls her anxiety about Russian encroachments
on her prestige among the tribes of
