When I was researching the background of In My Lady’s Shadow, I found out about the existence of an old painting, showing the Rialto Bridge in Venice at the time of my novel.

The miracle of the relic of the cross at the Ponte di Rialto, dating from c. 1496 by Vittore Carpaccio shows the miracle of the healing of a man with a mental illness through the relic of the Holy Cross, which took place in the Palazzo of San Silvestro on the Grand Canal, near the Rialto Bridge.

I love the inverted cone chimney-pots of medieval Venice. The bridge is still in wood here, as it was before it collapsed in 1524. Like the currentversion (dating from 1591) it had a double row of shops at the sides and, at the top, a movable boardwalk needed to allow the passage of the taller vessels.

On the right is the 15th century appearance of the Fondaco dei Tedeschi, destroyed by a fire in January 1505. Other architectural features include the bell tower of San Giovanni Grisostomo, the portico of Ca’ da Mosto and the bell tower of Santi Apostoli before its reconstruction in 1672. Caterina Cornaro, the lady of In My Lady’s Shadow, is buried there.

There are wonderful human details, such as the private gondolas used as ferries

the presence of numerous foreigners with eastern style garments, women clearing carpets, and workers who are clearing their barrels. A slice of life more than 500 years


ago.

The Ca’ da Mosto is still there today. The features of the palace show its beginnings as a casa-fondaco, the home and workplace of its original merchant owner. A second floor was added at the beginning of the sixteenth century, and a third in the nineteenth. The palace takes its name from the Venetian explorer Alvise da Ca’ da Mosto, who was born in the palace in 1432.

The present stone bridge, a single span designed by Antonio da Ponte, was finally completed in 1591 and looks quite similar to the wooden bridge it replaced.

Two inclined ramps lead up to a central portico. On either side of the portico, the covered ramps carry rows of shops. We were there a week ago with our visitors, soaking up the atmosphereIndianapolis - Brett Favre's annual retirement decision is in full swing . . . again. And to Green Bay Packers fans everywhere, it has become a relatively annoying rite of winter.

Favre, who's in his sixth year of playing the "will he or won't he" game, has kept the Packers wondering about his future for 33 days since the season ended on Jan. 20.

During the National Football League scouting combine Thursday, many of the league's powers-that-be were asked their opinions about Favre's yearly dance. The general feeling was that the 38-year-old, three-time most valuable player had earned the right to take his sweet time.

"Veteran guys, especially guys like Brett, they've earned the right to take some time and make a decision about what they want to do," New York


Giants general manager Jerry Reese said. "That's just my opinion"

Mike Martz, the offensive coordinator in San Francisco, agreed.

"I'd tell him take whatever time he wants and I'll see you in the fall," Martz said. "And if you want me to go fishing with you, I'd be happy to join you. That's what I'd tell Brett."

Coming off a season in which Favre finished second in the MVP voting, most figured it was a foregone conclusion he'd return.

But Favre's season ended with a thud when his overtime interception helped the Giants defeat the Packers in the NFC Championship Game. And a WISN-TV report earlier this week said Favre - according to a source - was unhappy that Packers general manager Ted Thompson hadn't called to ask him back.

"I think heknows how the organization feels about him," Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin said. "I just think he's earned the right to take his time and decide what's best. Everybody has to decide what's in their best interests. He has a lot of factors to weigh, and when he feels comfortable I'm sure he'll let us know."

Favre has left fans wondering about his future each off-season dating to 2002, after the Packers lost in the playoffs to Atlanta. The longest Favre ever took to decide was in 2006, when he waited until late April to say he was returning. Last off-season, Favre announced on Groundhog Day - Feb. 2 - that he'd be coming back.

Favre had indicated near the end of the season that his decision would be quicker


the whole team in trouble. I mean, how are you going to get a player then?"

The Giants' Reese went through the same thing last year with defensive end Michael Strahan. And Pittsburgh's director of football operations, Kevin Colbert, went through it late during the career of running back Jerome Bettis, a player who then exited after a Super Bowl championship.

One thing that everyone across the league thinks is that if Favre returns, he still will be extremely dangerous.

"I don't think anybody could have predicted how well he'd do (in 2007), especially after some of the turmoil he had, especially in '05," said Zorn, who was Seattle's quarterbacks coach from 2001-'07. "Something happened with how he disciplined himself to not take as many risks. They got some players aroundhype.
Fans are people, some have patience, some are impatient and express what they feel.
Personally I'm fine with whatever he decides whenever Brett makes his decision.
I feel we are in good shape at the starting QB position either way.

The 6 years thing is a little bit exaggerated. In 2002, he said two days after the game at Lambeau that he'd come back and play. After the 2003 season, it wasn't a question, he was just depressed because of the outcome. The waiting really started in 2005 (following 2004 season) after being defeated by the Viqueens in the playoffs. He took his time and thought until March the Wednesday before Fan Fest. Then, we all know, the real drama became clear in 2006. I think they're going a little overboard

I think they're going a little overboard saying 6 years is all I'm trying to say

But, anyways, this year has been different. In years past, I've be waiting on edge for his decision, tapping my foot, watching the clock tick away, it was painful at times. Not now. Not one tick tock feeling, not this high anticipation I'm so used to. After the season we just had, it's almost his obligationto take some time and think, he just finished out a remarkable year, but ended it in a painful fashion. Take your time Brett, I just hope that the time doesn't make you rethink staying on the roster

That's what I thought. I didn't think it was 6 years. I remember '05 the first time he seriously considered retirement (and had us worried).

they say is "he will be back because of the money he will make". IMO it has NOTHING to do with the money, he isnt this type of person, he will be back because he can help his team win, hes competitive and the man just loves to play football. Also this year he had a good taste of almost making it to the Superbowl. I hope he comes back, but if he doesnt, he has good reasons not to and I will support that as well. He has given us Packer fans so many years of joy and excitement. It will be very sad when he does retire especially if its this year, because the way I look at it is he has still another how manyA man has died after being attacked by a dog which police returned to its owner last week despite concerns it was dangerous.

West Yorkshire police were called to a house in the Sheepridge area of Huddersfield at 9.48am on Monday, where they found the 52-year-old victim, David Ellam. The man was treated by paramedics and taken to Huddersfield Royal infirmary, where he was pronounced dead at 9pm.

One of the most interesting things about Georgetown County is the over one-hundred documented ghosts in thehistoric part of the city and many of the plantations, churches and cemeteries. In her book, Ghosts of Georgetown, author Elizabeth Robertson Huntsinger writes:

"During Georgetown's history, many of the unique and colorful characters who lived in the area created lasting impressions on the town and the surrounding countryside. Some of these individuals left details of their lives carved in stone or written in historical volumes. Others, however, left impressions of a more ethereal nature. Georgetown County is reputed to be one of the nation's most haunted places."

A Look Back

War of Attrition: Part 2, The Rolling of the Ankles: It has been a rough season for star players in the America East. Pre-season POY candidate Tommy Brenton went down for Stony Brook before the year started, and then New Hampshire lost two leading scorers during the non-conference (AlvinAbreu and FergMyrick). In the past week though, a series of sprains have created a lot of uncertainty for the playoff picture. John Holland of Boston University, the league leader in scoring, was kept out of the final regular season game with an ankle Injury, as was one of Vermont’s top scoring threats, Brendan Bald (11.5 PPG). And then in the final game of the year, another POY


candidate, Evan Fjeld of Vermont, rolled his ankle and was kept out for the rest of the game. While all are likely to play the entire postseason, it marks a potential weakness for the two top teams in the league.

Conference Player of the Year:John Holland, Boston University. The senior Holland was the presumptive favorite after being showered with post-season recognition accolades during his first three seasons. Despite leading the league in scoring (19.9 PPG) essentially wire to wire, Holland’s year got off to a bumpy start. Holland struggled to assume a leadership role with a young and transfer laden cast- his shot selection especially struggled. But as conference play turned towards the home stretch, Holland led the Terriers to 8 straight victories entering the post-season.

Hope You Didn’t Believe It: At last check in, the Binghamton and Hartford were one-two in the America East standings. Now, they’re sixth and fourth, respectively, with Binghamton having dropped five straight games.

The Cellar Has Teeth:UMBC has 18 losses this year, but that did not stop them from taking down Boston University and Hartford in back-to-back games. But alas, they got blown out by fellow bottom-feeder New Hampshire and then couldn’t hold onto a 12-point halftime lead against Albany.

A Barnies Burner: Maine senior forward Troy Barnies has blossomed into one of the most consistent players in the league this year (14 PPG, 8 RPG) and has been crucial to steadying a deep, but sometimes inconsistent Black Bears team.

The site has been plagued by technical and administrative issues since its inception. In 2011, the exchange was hacked, allowing the theft from user accounts totaling approximately nine million USD at the time of the theft. Mt. Gox employees initially blamed the thefts on users being careless with their passwords, before eventually admitting that the site itself had been substantially compromised. While the security vulnerability that the hackers exploited was eventually fixed, the company’s lax security policies and handling of the incident would both prove an omen of things to come.

A spokesperson for the group stated that Mt. Gox leadership has privately revealed that the exchange will soon file for bankruptcy. On Sunday, the CEO of Mt. Gox resigned from the board of the Bitcoin Foundation, a nonprofit advocacy group. The next day, Mt. Gox Twitter account was erased. The picture for any Mt.

Just like most of South Asia, and indeed a lot of the world, I looked at the elections results in India on May 16 with shock and awe. The election not only significantly changed the political landscape of India, it sent a number of political scientists back to the writing table. For the last few decades we had been hearing that the time of one-party majority in the Lok Sabha had gone, that coalitions were there to stay, that regionalisation had set in. However, the way in which the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies won across India shocked all these pundits. In Pakistan, Modi’s dramatic win sent shockwaves and unleashed the wrath of the right-wingers who had a field day with it. Allow me to makepopulations, the BJP candidate won thumping majorities — these victories would not have been possible without the shift in the Muslim vote, first from the Congress to the Aam Aadmi party and now to the BJP. Similarly, the BJP won all but one of the 27 seats in Uttar Pradesh with a large number of Muslim voters. In fact, BJP president Rajnath Singh won resoundingly in Lucknow where there are about 400,000 Muslim voters. The Muslims and other minorities who voted for the BJP did not vote for self-destruction, but made intelligent political decisions.Thirdly, Modi’s win was primarily a vote for development. When veteran leader of the BJP LK Advani was asked the reason for the BJP’s resounding success, he said, “Bad governance, corruption and dynastic rules (of


intervention," she said. "The drivers of this species loss and ecosystem loss is our extreme changes in the use of the land and the oceans."

Conservation scientists from around the world convened in Paris to issue the report, which exceeded 1,000 pages. The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) included more than 450 researchers who used 15,000 scientific and government reports. The report's summary had to be approved by representatives of all 109 nations.

Some nations hit harder by the losses, like small island countries, wanted more in the report. Others, such as the United States, were cautious in the language they sought, but they agreed "we're in trouble," said Rebecca Shaw, chief scientist for the World Wildlife Fund, who observed the final negotiations.

"This is the strongestmammals used for food have disappeared. More than 40% of the world's amphibian species, more than one-third of the marine mammals and nearly one-third of sharks and fish are threatened with extinction.

The report relies heavily on research by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, or IUCN, which is composed of biologists who maintain a list of threatened species.

The IUCN calculated in March that 27,159 species are threatened, endangered or extinct in the wild out of nearly 100,000 species biologists examined in depth. That includes 1,223 mammal species, 1,492 bird species and 2,341 fish species. Nearly half the threatened species are plants.

Scientists have only examined a small fraction of the estimated 8 million species on Earth.

The report comes up with 1 million species in trouble by extrapolating


the IUCN's 25 percent threatened rate to the rest of the world's species and using a lower rate for the estimated 5.5 million species of insects, Watson said.

Outside scientists, such as Lovejoy and others, said that's a reasonable assessment.

The report gives only a generic "within decades" time frame for species loss because it is dependent on many variables, including taking the problem seriously, which can reduce the severity of the projections, Watson said.

"We're in the middle of the sixth great extinction crisis, but it's happening in slow motion," said Conservation International and University of California Santa Barbara ecologist Lee Hannah, who was not part of the report.

Five times in the past, Earth has undergone mass extinctions where much of life on the planet blinked out, like the oneregion. However, as a result of the fabrication steps employed in conventional prior art processes, the thicknesses or heights of the dielectric at those regions differ significantly. That is, the distances from the metallization layer to the top surface of the structure are substantially different at the field oxide region and at the diffusion region during etching of the vias. In order to properly etch the thicker regions, the less thick regions are generally overetched. In addition, a problem of undesirable sidewalls, particularly the sidewalls of a second metallization layer, and re-entrant cusps are formed during the process.

Moscow imposed restrictions on the American diplomatic mission as a delayed retaliation for the decision taken by the Barack Obama administration to kick out dozens of Russian diplomats over Moscow’s alleged meddling in last year’s presidential election.

At the time, Moscow refrained from mirroring the move, but went ahead with it after the Trump administration imposed new sanctions against Russia, which targeted Russian financial system and its energy projects, particularly those in Europe.

The White House was forced to adopt the policy despite its own objections, because it was outlined in an act passed by the US Congress by a veto-beating majority.

Several European nations blasted the sanctions, seeing them as an attempt by the USNew Delhi: The Delhi high court on Monday permanently restrained two taxi drivers’ unions from interfering in services offered by taxi aggregators Ola and Uber in the national capital region.

Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw passed the order after being informed of an unsuccessful attempt at mediation with the two unions—Sarvodaya Driver Association and Rajdhani Tourist Driver Union—that were alleged to have disrupted services of taxi aggregators who did not wish to participate in a February strike for higher fares and other incentives.

The court also reiterated its earlier order restraining the drivers unions from staging any protest within 500 metres from the office premises of Ola and Uber in the future.

The court was hearing pleas by ride hailing companies ANI Technologies Pvt. Ltd, which runs Ola, and Uber who had


alleged that the unions were disrupting services of taxi drivers who did not join the February strike.

Ola claimed that striking drivers had blocked their cabs, pulled out drivers and removed the mobile devices installed in them.

In February, in an interim order, the court granted relief to Uber and Ola by restraining anyone, including the two drivers’ unions, from interfering in the operations or hampering the services of the taxi aggregators.

The court also restrained the unions or anyone acting on their behalf from removing or confiscating the mobile devices installed in the cabs run by Ola and Uber.

On 17 February, in an attempt to resolve the taxi strike, the court ordered an authorised signatory from Ola and Uber to hold a meeting with Sarvodaya Driver Association.

Several unions and thousandsPresident Trump, by his second deal in as many weeks with Democratic leaders, has upended the political calculations of both of their parties: Many Republicans are left fuming of his betrayal, while some Democrats have begun warning party leaders against getting too cozy with a president they vow to resist.

Trump is betting that he can play the two sides against each other and finally notch some legislative achievements, in turn reassuring centrists and improving his dismal poll ratings. The risk, as the president’s nationalist allies already are warning, is that Trump alienates some among his loyalists even as other voters remain resolutely hostile, and he sinks further.

With the latest deal, Trump could not have chosen an issue more likely to test his core supporters. After winning election on

Last week, on January 6 and 7, the Department of History, University of Mumbai, collaborated with two foreign universities to host an international conference, titled ‘Power, PublicCulture and Identities: Towards New Histories of Mumbai’, which paid tribute to Masselos’ half-a-century worth of work in South Asian urban history. One of the speakers at this conference was Shekhar Krishnan, a post-doctoral research fellow at the Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore. With new insight through the Maharashtra State Archives, archives of the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai and the Mumbai Police, and recalling Peter Galison’s book, Einstein’s Clocks, Poincaré’s Maps, Krishnan presented ‘Turning Back the Clock’, which furthered Masselos’ research into the chaotic realm of time in erstwhile Bombay. His research is part of a larger upcoming book, on time, space and currency, to be published next year.

Back in the 50s, this was a completely unheard of thing for a couple of twenty-something’s from the small town of Brechin, Scotland to do. But they went and they did it. They defied the odds in pursuit of adventure, something they both sought out their whole life.

they indulged in a fantastic cruise, worthy of a place on any self-respecting bucket list. My Grandad also saw a lot of the world during the Second World War, when he was placed on various ships in the Mediterranean and spent time in South Africa. Playing in the forces football team, he would often travel wherever the team was summoned for matches. He was once almost adopted by a South African, department-store owning, couple and I’m pretty sure he probably came close to adopting a couple of African children himself (that postcard is another story….).

Yes, it’s certainly fair to say that neither of them were ever short of a story or two. Their passion for travel and zest for life is something that will never be forgotten byover 3,000 hours of sun a year (over eight hours a day on average).This makes it one of China’s most solar-abundant regions.

Non-mining areas to the north of the city are already home to many wind farms. In the south subsidence from mining has spoiled the land, which is useless to farmers, but can be still be used to build solar plants.

In 2015 the city became home to a “frontrunner” solar farm built on a subsidence zone and will expand. Now, up to 3 gigawatts of solar power capacity is planned to be built by 2019 (installed capacity that is around three times the average size of one nuclear reactor) with tendering for the first round of 1 gigawatts of capacity starting last June.

For years Datong has been trying to reduce its reliance on coal. According to figures from the provincial environmental authorities, China’s “coal capital” enjoyed the best air quality in Shanxi last year, and maintained that performance into the first quarter of 2016. Wider use of solar and wind power will further reduce air pollution and carbon emissions associated with coal use.

But for most locals, the benefits of solar power aren’t as obvious as those of coal. For now, at least, solar power is failing to provide enough jobs.

Datong in March is still clad in a grey winter sky. At the entrance to Liuguanzuang village in the south of the city, construction of a JA Solar 500 megawatt facility is proceeding at pace, andcoal mining has led to subsidence, rendering many parts of the city’s environs no-go areas.

Since 2006 tens of thousands of miners and locals have been relocated from those areas to housing in Heng’an New District, on the same road as the Tongmei Coal Group headquarters. In May this year the city government came up with a relocation plan that will see 19,000 people in 8,000 households move from subsidence areas.

Liu is 60 years old and one of Wu’s local workers, but has to travel from a mountain village 60 kilometres from the worksite.

When he was younger, Liu worked at a small mine earning a daily rate for bringing coal up a shaft. Money was always available if you were willing to work. At 45, Liu began working on


to maintain growth while reducing carbon emissions, former mayor Geng Yanbo once tried to boost tourism by restoring Datong’s historical heritage.

The period 2008 to 2012 saw the much of old city rebuilt, with 7.4 kilometres of Ming dynasty city walls reconstructed, featuring replica watchtowers every hundred metres. The city was transformed, restored to its original grandeur. This was the capital of the Northern Wei dynasty and a strategic border defence for later dynasties, and boasts the Yungang grottoes, a world heritage site, and many national historic sites. There is a real potential for tourism here.

But the energy transition is still critically important to long-term development. Once coal exports have declined, electricity exports will become a major source of income. That means generating capacity needs to be kept upwhile coal use falls. So how to both develop solar power and increase added value is key to local development.

And currently, the best partner for solar power is agriculture.

This new double act has started to gain popularity in China during the last two years, and Shanxi is no exception. A 30 megawatt combined solar-agriculture project was completed in July last year in Shou county and is now hooked up to the grid, while this April, China’s biggest such arrangement, a 50 megawatt solar greenhouse project in Changzhi, was also completed and connected.

This year, “Datong will see construction of solar power stations (including solar-agricultural facilities) of 692 megawatts of installed capacity in total, with solar-agricultural units ranging from 10 megawatts to 50 megawatts”.

Matt Heldt needed just one trip to Marquette to know that's where he wanted to play college basketball. He wasn't going to wait for other schools to make their pitches.

After meeting head coach Steve Wojciechowski in late June and committing on July 1, Heldt, a 6-foot-10 center from Neenah, Wis., made his college choice official on Wednesday. He signed his National Letter of Intent during an event at Neenah High School, becoming the fourth of Wojciechowski's commits to put pen to paper on Wednesday.

"It feels good to have everything set in stone and ready to go," Heldt said in a phone interview with the Journal Sentinel Wednesday. "Ever since the first time I came down to visit I really liked (Wojciechowski). I believe in him asa coach and Marquette, I think, is a really great fit for me."

Heldt, a top-100 recruit according to multiple national outlets, entered the summer with a few offers, but expected to receive more after the AAU open evaluation period in July. Neenah head coach Scott Borks says schools like Northwestern, Wisconsin, Xavier and Minnesota wanted to take a closer look at Heldt.

They didn't get that chance. Shortly after arriving in Milwaukee, Wojciechowski and his staff targeted Heldt and went together to watch him play. A scholarship offer wasn't far behind.

"The first time I went down he offered me a scholarship and he talked to me about his vision for Marquette and how he thinks he could stay here for his whole career," Heldt said. "I wanted a good


coach that believed in me and made me feel at home. Also, playing for a team that isn't selfish with guys that really know how to play basketball was another big thing for me."

Last season, Heldt averaged 18.2 points, 7.4 assists and 2.3 blocks. He was a first team all-state pick by the Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association and a second team all-state selection by the AP. Bork knows that Marquette is receiving a quality player and person, and credits some of Heldt's success to his work in the weight room.

"They're getting a great kid," Bork said. "He works extremely hard. He came here as a sophomore a little undersized physically, not height, but in the weight room. He got introduced to that and just took off in thereand has just pushed himself to be the player that he is today.

"The upside that he has in front of him, I think is huge. I think he's not really close to where he's going to be — I think Marquette, they got a great deal here."

Marquette put out a press release once Heldt's signing became official Wednesday morning that featured Wojciechowski's first comments about his new center.

“We are thrilled with the addition of Matt to the Marquette family,” Wojciechowski said in the press release. “While Matt obviously adds much needed size to our program, he is also a versatile frontcourt player with a high basketball IQ and possesses a tremendous desire to improve in every area.

"He has been well prepared at the high school level and is


a fundamentally sound post player. We believe he will have the ability to play both inside and out during his college career and that his best basketball is ahead of him.”

Recruiting in Wisconsin was a majority priority for Wojciechowski. Three of the top five high school players in Wisconsin — Nick Noskowiak, Henry Ellenson and Heldt — are in Marquette's recruiting class along with Florida guard Haanif Cheatham. The Golden Eagles' class of 2015 entered Wednesday as one of the top 10 in the country.

“All four of the young men in this class represent what we want in basketball players at Marquette,” Wojciechowski said. “They each have high character, are good students, and have a passion for the game of basketball. They come from great families and wereon him he can just take it in the post. It's amazing to see the way he's developed his skills and how good he is."

When Heldt arrives on campus this summer, he hopes to hit the ground running and compete for minutes right away. He sees Marquette center and Germantown native Luke Fischer as someone he can learn from.

"With Luke Fischer being there, he's a guy who has experience that most players wouldn't have in transferring from Indiana and having to sit the first half of the year, so I think I can learn a lot from him about his experiences and it will help me become a better player," Heldt said. "Them being a little undersized this year does help. I'm looking forward to hopefully being able


she went to the police station the day following the robbery to look at some pictures, and upon being asked "Did you pick a photo of the person that you said did it?", an objection to the question was made and sustained. The witness further testified she saw seventy-five pictures and an objection to this testimony was sustained. The affirmative answer of the witness to a question about Exhibit One being the picture she picked out at the police station was not objected to. An objection to the introduction of the picture was sustained. Unlike the Priest case, there is an absence of any showing that the picture *291 came from pictures of known violators of any law and there was no argument that implied that the witnessstation out of the presence and hearing of appellant.
Officer Bartlett testified that Mrs. Daniel gave him a description of the robber and that it was basically the same description she had given the night before other than the addition that the robber's skin was rough and she couldn't determine whether or not it was pimples, scars, or what the roughness was.
In Ramos v. State, 141 Tex.Cr.R. 126, 147 S.W.2d 809, it was said: "The State could not bolster up the testimony of the prosecutrix ... by what she said to the officers, unless the defendant had first shown that she made statements after the alleged occurrence at variance with her testimony relative to the identification of appellant." On direct examination, Mrs. Daniels had testified that she told Officer


The appellant testified at the punishment phase of the trial that he did not have an attorney when his probation was revoked, but no showing of indigency was made. Further, he does not claim that he had counsel and was deprived of his services.
No error is shown.
In his next two contentions, appellant complains of the court's failure to admit certain testimony of appellant's witness Durham relative to seeing another person who looked like appellant and in refusing to allow appellant to argue such testimony.
An acquaintance of appellant, Mary Judy Durham, testified she was in "Micky Finns Bar" sometime after appellant was arrested when, "There was a guy, was, looked like Pickie (appellant) or younger, and would pass for him, walked in......" An objection to this testimony was sustained.
Appellantfor the Southern District of New York, who charged Cohen in August, had been seeking to arrange for him to sit down with them, according to a person with knowledge of the matter, and former prosecutors familiar with the process said it was likely that those from the US attorney's office would have participated in Cohen's sessions with the Mueller team, given that the two sets of prosecutors have different investigative interests and different areas of expertise.

Not in an election for city council. Or state legislature. Or even president of the United States.

As a fast-food worker, I felt that no one listened to me — either on the job or in the halls of power.

media caption The meeting between the two leaders at times appeared tense

The US and Russian presidents have acknowledged at the G8 meeting in Northern Ireland they have a widely different stance on Syria, but did agree to push for a summit in Geneva.

After face-to-face talks, Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin said they shared a common desire to end the violence.

Both also said they were optimistic on Iran, after its presidential election.

Earlier, the G8 nations discussed the global economy, with the leaders agreeing world prospects remained weak.

Other nations joining the UK, US and Russia for the 39th Summit of the Group of Eight (G8) in Lough Erne, County Fermanagh, are Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan.

The


G8 leaders headed into a working dinner late in the evening, where Syria was expected to be top of the agenda.

'Common ground'

Mr Putin and Mr Obama met for about two hours on the sidelines of the summit.

Correspondents say that both leaders looked tense as they addressed journalists afterwards, with the Russian president regularly looking at the floor.

Mr Putin said: "Our positions do not fully coincide, but we are united by the common intention to end the violence, to stop the number of victims increasing in Syria, to resolve the problems by peaceful means, including the Geneva talks."

Mr Obama said the two leaders had instructed their teams to press ahead with trying to organise the peace conference in Switzerland.

Neither the rebels nor the Syrian government have yet fully committedthe rebels, said on Monday that no decision had yet been made on whether the UK would do the same.

In an interview in Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung on Monday, Mr Assad denied that his military had used chemical weapons, and warned that arming the rebels would result in "the direct export of terrorism to Europe".

"Terrorists will return to fight, equipped with extremist ideology," he said.

On Monday, Russian foreign ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said of the possibility of a no-fly zone over Syria: "I think we fundamentally would not allow this scenario."

EU-US deal

The formal talks on Monday covered the global economy.

In their statement after the session, the leaders said prospects remained weak but added that action in the US, Japan and eurozone had helped ease the situation.

"Downside risks in


economy, £80bn to the US economy and as much as £85bn to the rest of the world".

Mr Obama said the deal was a priority for the US and he hoped that it would create an economic alliance as strong as the diplomatic and security alliances the two sides enjoyed.

Tax evasion

On Tuesday, Mr Cameron will hope to make progress on tax transparency after agreeing a deal on the issue over the weekend with British overseas territories and Crown dependencies.

He has made no secret of his desire to tackle tax evasion and aggressive tax avoidance.

Tuesday will also cover counter-terrorism issues.

As the event started allegations were made in The Guardian newspaper on Monday , that Britain had spied on delegates who attended two G20 meetings in London in 2009.

The newspaper reportedRemembering Greg Peters

Kevin Allman on the creator of the cartoon "Suspect Device," who died Aug. 2 at 50

Greg Peters, whose award-winning cartoon "Suspect Device" appeared in Gambit, died Aug. 2 following emergency surgery at Ochsner General Hospital.

A native of Marquette, Mich., Peters, 50, studied at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette and began drawing "Suspect Device" in the mid-1990s, while working at The Times of Acadiana. The strip (named for the Stiff Little Fingers song of the same name) debuted in Gambit in 1998 and continued until 2010. Peters also worked as production director in Gambit's Baton Rouge offices in the early 2000s.

Years before "Get Your War On" popularized the art of cartoons made from clip art, Peters was using intricate stock images to lampoon a host of national, state


and local politicos, including former mayor Ray Nagin, former Gov. Kathleen Blanco and "recovery czar" Ed Blakely. In 2003, the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies recognized Peters' work in the field of editorial cartooning, writing, "He shows a deep concern for the local politics and character of Louisiana, and his opinions are frequently unexpected. It's also a very funny cartoon."

Funny — and always furious and rude, juxtaposed with sophisticated writing. In a 2004 profile of Peters and his work, former Gambit Music Editor Scott Jordan noted, "Peters' craft is fueled by his punk rock-influenced DIY personality and educational background in literary criticism, Marxism, post-structuralism and Buddhism — all meeting the surreal arena of Louisiana politics."

"Louisiana was his playroom, his target, his subject and his home. Nobody found the humorand the laughter in the pain like Greg Peters," said former Gambit Editor Michael Tisserand, who is completing a book on the pioneering New Orleans cartoonist George Herriman, creator of "Krazy Kat." "[Peters] was one of the great writers and great cartoonists, and as with many great writers and great cartoonists, there was only a select group of people who recognized his genius."

"The clip art thing was always a punk staple," Peters told Jordan. "Like the cut-out letters and clip art that Jamie Reid, the Sex Pistols designer, did using Queen Elizabeth with the safety-clip-through-her-cheek picture. They're very much out of the DIY ethos. And the attitude simply of baseline mistrust for authority, and the demand that you be shown, not told."

Peters, who had a congenital heart condition


called aortic stenosis, had been through many hospital visits and surgeries in the last few years, particularly since moving to New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina. As a veteran of many medical procedures, he was a vociferous supporter of the Affordable Care Act. In July 2009, he created the cartoon above, detailing his health struggles and his frustrations with obtaining insurance while having a pre-existing condition. Despite his struggles, he remained optimistic; last May, he had the word "INDESTRUCTIBLE" tattooed down the length of his forearm in elaborate script.

Peters is survived by his companion, Gambit contributor Eileen Loh; his former wife, Saundra Scarce of Lafayette; and two sons.

Filibuster makes Texas lawmaker a national star

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — As she spoke late into the night railing against proposed abortion restrictions, a former Texas teen mom catapulted from little-known junior state senator to national political superstar in pink running shoes.

Wendy Davis needed last-minute help from shrieking supporters to run out the clock on the special session of the state Legislature and kill the contentious and sweeping bill, but her old-fashioned filibuster earned her widespread praise from fellow abortion-rights supporters — including a salute from President Barack Obama.

The victory may be short-lived, though. OnWednesday, Gov. Rick Perry called a second special session beginning July 1, giving the Republican majority in the statehouse another 30 days to re-ignite the abortion debate — and likely finish the job this time.

Still, Davis was on her feet for more than 12 hours Tuesday — actively speaking most of that time — as Democrats hoped her one-woman marathon speech would derail a measure that would have closed nearly every abortion clinic in the nation's second most populous state.

As a midnight deadline loomed and Davis continued to talk, political junkies from coast-to-coast tuned in via Internet, and the senator's followers on Twitter ballooned from around 1,200 to more than 79,000.

Suddenly, photos of her Mizuno Women's Wave Rider 16 Running Shoes were everywhere, and customers began jamming online


sales sites with such comments as the pair was "perfect for a filibuster." Even #StandWithWendy was trending.

Obama's official Twitter account posted: "Something special is happening in Austin tonight." Similar messages of support came from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

All this for a 50-year-old Harvard-trained attorney and one-time single mother from Fort Worth, who was once dismissed by Republican Gov. Rick Perry as a "show horse." Until recently, Davis was perhaps best known for dating former Austin Mayor Will Wynn.

But Davis' sudden surge in popularity came as no surprise to Texas Democrats, who chose her as the face of the battle to block the bill.

"She's a total fighter," said Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Action Fund and daughter of the late formerTexas Gov. Ann Richards. "And the thing about Sen. Davis, she says she's going to do something, she gets it done."

Davis' filibuster ultimately lasted about 11 hours before Republicans complained she had strayed off topic and cut her off. But that action prompted a lengthy debate with Democrats and deafening protests from hundreds of orange-clad abortion-rights activists in the gallery that spilled past the midnight deadline to kill all pending legislation.

Even after she had stopped speaking, however, Davis continued to stand for more than an additional hour while her colleagues argued about whether her filibuster was really over.

"Thanks to the powerful voices of thousands of Texans, #SB5 is dead," Davis tweeted Wednesday morning. "An incredible victory for Texas women and those who love them."

Davis starting working at age


14 to help support a household of her single mother and three siblings. By 19, she was already married and divorced with a child of her own. After community college, she graduated from Texas Christian University before being accepted to Harvard Law School.

She returned to Texas to become a Fort Worth City Council member before upsetting an incumbent Republican for a seat in the state Senate.

"We knew about her on the City Council," said Sen. Rodney Ellis, D-Houston. "And we knew her track record as someone you could count on in the heat of battle."

Davis narrowly retained her Senate seat during elections last year, but her victory allowed the Democrats to hold 12 of the chamber's 31 seats, just enough to block contentious bills from coming to thefloor. She is up for re-election again in 2014, though Democratic operatives have already begun a whisper campaign urging her to run for governor.

A Democrat has not won statewide office in Texas since 1994, but those whispers are sure to get louder now. An email from Battleground Texas, a much-ballyhooed effort by former Obama campaign veterans to energize Latino voters and turn the state blue, read Wednesday: "Last night an incredible thing happened. Wendy Davis stood up to Texas Republicans."

Davis has clashed with the GOP almost since arriving at the Capitol, earning derision and respect for her ability to dissect a complex bill and make her opponents squirm under tough questioning.

In 2011, she led a short filibuster on the final night of the regular session that torpedoed a


key budget bill to allow the state to cut more than $4 billion from public education. Despite warnings that the filibuster would be futile because Perry would immediately call lawmakers back into special session to pass the bill again, Davis and Democrats carried on, taking the short-term victory — much like Tuesday's may also turn out to be.

An avid runner and cyclist, Davis was in good shape for the physical challenge of standing and talking for nearly half a day.

Because the rules didn't allow her to sit down, her chair was removed. Davis, who at one point fought tears to read testimony from women opposed to the bill, shifted her weight from hip to hip and paced around her desk to stay sharp as the hours ticked by.

In this event, in order to reduce the loss of a signal on the feeder cable between the base station main body


King and CNN reporter Hadas Gold also tweeted in disgust at the old Obama-era photos.

Jon Favreau, former Director of Speechwriting for President Barack Obama, was similarly disparaging about the images.

"Look at these pictures. This is happening right now, and the only debate that matters is how we force our government to get these kids back to their families as fast as humanly possible," he said in a since deleted tweet.

The outrage over the old images were partly spurred by the unrelated revelation Homeland Security “lost track of” almost 1,500 illegal-immigrant minors after they were released.

The acting assistant secretary for Children and Families at the Department of Health And Human Services, Steven Wagner, addressed the whereabouts of immigrant children during his testimony before the Senate last week - statingthe department was "unable to determine" where some 1,500 immigrant may be located.

The misplaced fury over the photos also comes after the Trump administration's controversial new policy of taking children away from parents caught unlawfully crossing into America with them on the southern border. The White House has said the practice is a deterrent to illegal immigration.

Dump Truck Crashes Into Sacramento Home

An out of control dump truck crashed into a home in the Arden Arcade area on Thanksgiving Day.

The driver barrelled down Eastern Avenue, across busy Fair Oaks Boulevard onto Lake Oak Court, and then smashed into trees, slammed into two parked cars and over a grass mound before coming to a stop in the doorway of a home at the end of the cul-de-sac.

Neighbor Gil DeVega told News10, what the driver told him after the crash.

"All he said was, 'I need to have a cigarette,' and I told him, 'No do not light anything because we might explode here,'" DeVega said.

My ultimate dream would be to able to spend at least three months of every year on the Pacific island paradise of Rarotonga, with my mask, snorkel and fins, and camera, oh and a laptop for writing. Perhaps summering over in Aotearoa (New Zealand) for three months, and the remaining six travelling the World! Hmmm, now where is that lottery ticket… Rarotonga, affectionately known as Raro, is the main island in the Cook Islands chain and it is quite literally in the middle of the Pacific Ocean just over the International Date Line (10 hours behind GMT), so you travel back in time when flying there fromDH bombshell: Chavez in, Cust out

In an unexpected move, the A's put the brunt of their power in Eric Chavez's hands Saturday, designating Jack Cust for assignment and replacing him as the designated hitter with Chavez.

"I think it's messed up," Cust said in a phone interview with The Chronicle after leaving the stadium. "They're going to go on 50 at-bats after three years of what I've done here? It's ridiculous. A lot of other guys have had bad springs. This is a joke.

"The fact is, this team has no power and they've just released a guy who (averaged 28 homers) the last three years. That's amazing."

Cust has led the team in homers three years in a row, and the A's appear to have even less power this

Pitching moves: Another surprise Saturday was the promotion of Double-A starter Tyson Ross, who went to Cal, to the big-league bullpen.

In addition, right-hander Trevor Cahill (left shoulder soreness) joined the DL, with left-hander Gio Gonzalez winning the fifth-starter spot. Andrew Bailey, Oakland's Rookie of the Year closer, gave the team a scare in the ninth inning, leaving the game with a tweaked left knee, but he's fine. Brad Kilby and Henry Rodriguez were sent down, with right-hander Edwar Ramirez making the club.

Ross, sensational this spring, will be used in much the way Bailey was last year, manager Bob Geren said.

After about an hour, a bystander, possibly a homeless man, stood in front of the vehicle, forcing the driver to stop. The car was stopped near the intersection of Ventura Boulevard and Van Nuys.

As the driver got out to confront the man, police grabbed the man as he grabbed the suspect and pushed him onto the hood of a patrol car just behind the suspect vehicle.

Police took the suspect and the bystander to the ground before handcuffing them.

The bystander was briefly detained and questioned by authorities.

West Valley Police told CBS2’s Jasmine Viel that the bystander was detained because of a parole violation warrant. It was later determined that it had been taken care of, and he was released. His namefinish the surface of the coating layer with a high accuracy.

Crystal Gerber, winner of the AutoTrader.com 15th Anniversary Contest, chose the American Cancer Society as the recipient of a $10,000 donation. Gerber, a Southern California resident and employee at Kelley Blue Book, received the most votes in the Facebook contest, which asked participants to share stories and photos of how they use their cars to help others in their communities. Gerber uses an unusual car to help others: The vehicle she calls her family hotrod is a drag racer that she shows at local charity events.

She posted a photo of the car at the recent Edelbrock Rev'ved Up 4 Kids Car Show in Torrence, Calif. The show benefits the Edelbrock Family Foundation, an organization focused on the education and training of America's youth. Gerber says the drag caralways excites show attendees.

"The crowd loves to see, hear and smell it when we fire it up, and the kids love to sit in it," Gerber explained.

We wanted to know a little more about the Crystal's unique car so we asked a few questions:

Is this a retired drag racer?

This car was the last front engine dragster to win the NHRA Top Fuel World Championship title back in 1971. The car was built in 1971 and won the World Championship in 1971 due to it's radical design. In 1972 most of the fuel dragsters went to rear engine design, as they are today. My father-In-Law bought the car right after it won that World Championship title.

Woman convicted for 30k benefit fraud 'flouted the law'

A woman has been convicted of fraudulently claiming more than £30,000 in housing benefit after failing to declare her ‘private landlord’ was a close relative.

Eaman Hussain, 46, of Perivale Lane, Perivale, was found guilty of conspiring to commit benefit fraud amounting to £30,736.98 between 2005 and 2008.

Mrs Hussain had claimed housing and council tax benefit for a property on Costons Avenue, Greenford , from 2001 and did not inform the council the property had been bought by a family member in 2005, which affected her entitlement to benefit.

The 46-year-old was sentenced to nine months imprisonment suspended for two years with a requirement to complete 250 hours of unpaid work on September 12 following a trial at Isleworth Crown Court.

Their capacity to grow by using contaminants allows them to proliferate in contaminated soil or groundwater, offering promise for in situ decontamination efforts.

The process of transforming halogenated pollutants to non-toxic compounds involves different reductive enzymes. D. mccartyi strain BAV1 is able to reduce vinyl chloride, a toxic contaminant that usually originates from landfills, to ethene by using a special vinyl chloride reductase thought to be coded for by the bvcA gene. A chlorobenzene reductive dehalogenase has also been identified in the strain CBDB1.

Biologists worry that draining the pond before dealing with the invasive frogs might prompt the amphibians to jump off into other areas of the park, spreading into an even bigger problem. And because the frogs need water to keep them happy at the Lily Pond, city officials have been unable to effectively kill the duckweed. The leaky lining forces gardeners to frequently refill the pond with water. There are chemicals available to kill the duckweed, but they must remain in the water for 60 days. If the gardeners refilled the pond during that time to keep water levels high, the chemicals would be diluted and ineffective. . . .
