Students, teachers protest university privatization, tuition hikes

EUGENE, Ore. – A new coalition of students, teachers, and workers at the University of Oregon rallied and marched Oct. 3 against rising tuition and plans to privatize governance of the university. The event drew over a hundred participants and observers to the student union amphitheater.

Sponsored by LESST, the League of Educators and Students Slashing Tuition, the rally included a wide variety of speakers addressed the rising cost of higher education in Oregon and around the country.

Judith Lechner, president of the Graduate Teaching Fellows Federation (AFT Local 3544, the graduate employees union at the University of Oregon), gave the opening remarks. A visiting scholar from Germany, she talked about how baffled she is by the lack of support for higher education inat T12 with significant decrease in vertebral body height and retropulsion of bone resulting in one-third reduction in canal width. She was not considered a candidate for percutaneous kyphoplasty. Three months after the injury, an open kyphoplasty was performed after a decompression laminectomy at T12. The fractured vertebral body was successfully reduced, and there was no leakage of polymethylmethacrylate into the spinal canal through the fractured posterior cortex using the open kyphoplasty procedure. One month after the operation, the patient was free from mid-back pain and was again able to walk. Open kyphoplasty procedure allows direct visualization to the spinal canal. It can be performed safely and effectively in selected vertebral body compression fractures with retropulsed bone associated with neurological deficit.

The defendant made the required monthly land contract payments to the Heistands until September 25, 1964, when he refinanced the property, obtaining a mortgage from a savings and loan association and a deed from the Heistands subject to the new mortgage.
The defendant testified that after purchasing the property, the plaintiff, with whom he was acquainted, *254 suggested that he be allowed to live in the house and rent part of it to others and manage the property so that there would be sufficient income to pay the land contract payments to the Heistands. At the time of the assignment of the land contract to the plaintiff, the plaintiff took possession of the property andimprovements made by the defendant.
The plaintiff said that the rental income from the house was inadequate to cover the $85 a month payments which he was required to make to the defendant, that nevertheless he made the required monthly payments, but, as previously mentioned, he was unable to produce any evidence, in addition to his own testimony, that he had made such payments. The defendant denied ever having received any money whatsoever from the plaintiff.

A method she used to impressFSU's Chris Thompson in familiar territory with back injury

Season-ending injury hasn't slowed Thompson's spirits

October 19, 2011|By Coley Harvey, Orlando Sentinel

TALLAHASSEE -- During their junior year of high school, while off on a trip to a combine in Texas, current Florida State players Chris Thompson and Jacobbi McDaniel were involved in a bad car accident.

Neither player left the wreck with injuries that placed their budding football careers in jeopardy, but they were forced to go through one emotional, traumatic experience together.

Now they're set to get through another one.

In the span of a week, the former Madison County High teammates have succumbed to their respective season-ending injuries at FSU. A broken vertebrae in Thompson's back suffered during an awkward hit two weeks ago at Wake Forest has the tailback shelved


Jesus," fullback Lonnie Pryor said.

"He had a little halo over him," Pryor said.

While his teammates were applauding Thompson for making what they felt was a miraculous return, the junior running back said he was just glad to be around familiar company.

"Being around the guys, that’s just one thing that really keeps my spirits up," Thompson said. "I failed at doing that in the spring and it affected me a little bit."

This is the second time in recent months that Thompson has had a back injury. He missed nearly all of FSU's spring practices dealing with the effects of a back injury first suffered at the end of last season. In the spring, complications from the earlier injury flared up, forcing the Seminoles to shelve him.

It turns out, though,that his back woes may go back even further.

While getting examined two weeks ago for his most recent back problems, Thompson said doctors found a fracture in one of his vertebrae that they believed was preexisting. Most likely, it was from the car accident with McDaniel several years ago, he said.

Last week, one of the doctors currently treating Thompson told the Sentinel that he believed one of Thompson's fractured vertebrae originally was suffered in the accident. That means he likely only broke one vertebrae in the Wake Forest game instead of the two as was originally believed.

In addition to being back out at practices and going through meetings with teammates, Thompson said there has been one small gift from an unlikely source that has really carried him through


be "banged back" against the seat. The motion, "a whip lash snapping," produced a compression fracture and dislocation of plaintiff's third cervical vertebra. The orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Flanagan, a specialist in this branch of medicine since 1934, described the seriousness of the condition as "extremely rare," "I believe, including all the serious neck injuries that I have treated during the war, I have seen two about as serious as this," "If it had gone a little further she would have died in the bus; she would have been totally paralyzed and died immediately."
The seriousness of the injury was suspected by her family physician when he first saw her at home on the day of the accident. He had her removed to Presbyterian Hospital in Newark where, upon consultationwith an assistant orthopedic surgeon there, traction was applied to her neck by means of a weighted canvas halter so the "neck was pulled with sandbags"; she had intense pain and also a numbness in the fingers of both hands which indicated "that there was pressure on the spinal cord at the site of the injury." When Dr. Flanagan was retained in the evening of May 5 he determined that the head halter type of traction was inadequate and that a "skeletal" traction should be applied. This entailed an operation that night in which a small hole was drilled in each side of the skull into which tongs, like "ice tongs," were inserted from which, as she lay in bed, were suspended approximately 35 to 40 pounds of


weights by means of a rope which extended from her head through the top end of the bed and through a pulley. This was done in an effort to relieve the pressure on the spinal cord and to reduce the injury. Dr. Flanagan testified that there was *507 pain and "a lot of discomfort" connected with the skeletal traction, aggravated in her case when she developed an infection when one "tong slipped out of the skull and was extremely painful  just pulled directly on the scalp itself  but we were able to replace it."
Plaintiff continued in this condition for more than a month. Some motor paralysis of her upper extremities which had been present cleared up entirely, but a sensory partial paralysis of her hands, particularlyremoved until July), Dr. Flanagan performed a bone grafting operation to effect the weld. The required bone was taken from plaintiff's right hip and transferred to her neck. In that manner the second to fourth vertebrae were fused. Dr. Flanagan testified that "in so doing we realized that we were going to eliminate a great range of motion of the neck."
The suffering accompanying the operations and her injury was aggravated by a painful bowel impaction which continued from the time of the accident until the middle of July.
Plaintiff remained in the skeletal traction after the bone graft a matter of three or four weeks until the tongs were replaced with a cast which covered her whole trunk, her neck and head "to keep the spine immobilized until the


which is a very fine tumor at the end of the nerve." To relieve her condition, "The scar was excised  the entire scar of the union, from the skin surface through the muscles, right down to the bone  and the whole scar which was approximately six to eight inches long and half an inch wide was excised, dissected and removed and then the union again carefully closed in layers."
Plaintiff's weight fell from 135 to 62 pounds over the 18-months period. At the time of the trial she was unable to sit back in a chair because of the pain she experiences along her spine when she does so. She cannot lie flat in bed but requires support beneath her shoulders. When she slips down during sleepshe suffers particularly painful tingling and a numbness in her hands where the sensory partial paralysis is centered. She frequently drops things she is holding in her right hand when her fingers relax involuntarily. She has severe and disabling headaches as often as two or three times a week; they last several hours or all day and cause her nausea. She is frequently attended by her family physician and Dr. Flanagan believes he too will have to see her "every two or three months probably and as long as she suffers and I imagine that will be  that her disability is permanent."
She has resumed some social activities, visiting friends and going to the movies. About six months before the trial she started to assist her sister in


a launderette operated by her *509 sister and established before the accident with some financial help from plaintiff. She described her work as marking clothes brought in for washing, handing out tickets, soaping machines and folding clothes but said "I work for a while and then I am tired" and needed frequent rest.
Plaintiff was 40 years of age at the time of the accident, and unmarried. She had worked for some 21 years, originally as a statistician with an insurance company, then as a bookkeeper for a printing concern for a year or so, and during the seven years prior to the accident as a statistical research analyst for the American Red Cross at its New York City office. Her gross salary at the time of the mishaploss of all wages for the period of her life expectancy was a fallacious premise because it had not been demonstrated that plaintiff was totally disabled.
The argument has no merit for several reasons. First of all, the surmise as to the method employed by the jury in arriving at the verdict is that and nothing more. The coincidence that the three sums nearly aggregate the amount of the award patently does not prove that this is what was done and, even more clearly, does not prove any misbehavior on the part of the jury. It taxes credulity to suppose that the jury considered only plaintiff's pecuniary losses and included nothing in the award for the pain and suffering so vividly portrayed in this record. The presumption is that

2. The Diabolicon has a Clear Metaphysics

The metaphysics of the Diabolicon clearly indicates that human self-consciousness levels are the result of a metaphysical intervention from higher forces in the interest of conscious evolution. The source is external; it is substantial, and the resulting metaphysical state of humanity as fundamentally sovereign beings gives form to and directs the evolution of the morality. In other words, if we were created as free individuals, then acting in favor of the freedom and individuality is ever the way of virtue.

At the same time, the metaphysics of the Diabolicon are largely Aristotelian. Newton and Galileo are mentioned, as well as the idea that the design ofMan – a microcosm – gives clues to the structure of the cosmos – a macrocosm.

To Democritus I spoke, and I saw the radiations of energy freed from matter both build and break man’s world. And man neglected not his own design, for in minute life he found clue to his own, and scarce hints of the original creation. And Asmodeus led mathematicians and astronomers to the wonders of the firmament, and I walked within the thought of scholars on quiet evenings.

In the winter of 1994, a young man in his early twenties named Tim was a patient in a London psychiatric hospital. Despite a happy and energetic demeanour, Tim had bipolar disorder and had recently attempted suicide. During his stay, he became close with a visiting US undergraduate psychology student called Matt. The two quickly bonded over their love of early-nineties hip-hop and, just before being discharged, Tim surprised his friend with a portrait that he had painted of him. Matt was deeply touched. But after returning to the United States with portrait in hand, he learned that Tim had ended his life by jumping off a bridge.

They hypothesized that it might be possible to combine data from wrist sensors and mobile phones to monitor stress, sleep, activity and social interactions to predict general mental health and well-being.

Sano and Picard collaborated with a team at Harvard Medical School to design a study that would track university students on a daily basis. Since 2013, the team has studied 300 students — 50 each semester, for 30 days at a time — by giving them watch-like devices to wear.

The device itself is much lighter and slightly smaller than the Oculus Rift DK2. The bulky front end is counterbalanced by the rear plate (which is designed similarly to the strap crossbar on the Gear VR) and the straps themselves are now plastic. These new arms are adjusted via a thin rubberised cord on each side of the front end, pulled to tighten and locked into place with velcro. The top strap is very similar to that of the Oculus Rift DK2, but slightly thinner.

The positional tracking, now with added LED markers on the rear plate, is a significant leap from the DK2. NowPanevezys (Lithuania) (AFP) - Defence ministers for the three Baltic states said Thursday they are mulling a joint air defence system in response to security concerns over Russia's activity in the region.

The ministers of NATO-members Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania met in the northern Lithuanian city of Panevezys along with their Ukrainian counterpart, at a time when their relations with Russia are at a post-Soviet low over the Ukraine crisis.

"We plan to analyse the possibility of developing a medium-range air defence system to strengthen our defence capabilities," Lithuanian Defence Minister Juozas Olekas told reporters.

"External threats lead us to cooperate more," he said, referring to neighbour and Soviet-era master Russia, which has spooked the region with its intervention in Ukraine.

NATO has been guarding the skies over the three small Baltic


states since 2004, when they joined the defence alliance but lacked the air power to monitor their own airspace.

Under Moscow's thumb until 1991, the Baltic trio has been on high alert since Russia annexed the Crimean peninsula from Ukraine last year.

Pro-Russian separatists have since been battling Ukrainian government forces for over a year in a conflict that has claimed nearly 6,300 lives and left well over a million people homeless.

"The situation remains complicated and absolutely unpredictable," Ukrainian Defence Minister Stepan Poltorak told reporters.

He added that since the inking of a fragile February ceasefire agreement 100 of their soldiers have died and 500 have been wounded.

"We consider there is a high risk of further escalation of the situation."

GRAND HAVEN -- Two days after a jewelry store owner down the street was fatally shot inside his business, along with a longtime customer, Grand Haven Jewelry owner Steve Pitcher acknowledged his employees are a little nervous.

But it's Pitcher's 10-year-old daughter who is wrestling with her fears for her parents.

"She wants us to quit our jobs," said Pitcher, whose wife is a Realtor. "She's trying to get to sleep, and it's really bothering her."

Flowers were being placed on the front step of R.K Jewelers Thursday afternoon. Many were from


downtown merchants, including a competing jewelry store.

Wednesday's murder of R.K. Jewelers owner Robert Karell, 61, and customer Louis Paparella, 76, comes on the heels of this week's shooting death of a Muskegon Realtor in his office, allegedly by a disgruntled former client.

Pitcher said his jewelry store has security features and his employees rarely are left alone, but the double shooting in Karell's store has left many shaken.

There had been no arrests, and Grand Haven Public Safety Director Dennis Edwards said the investigation will continue through the holiday.

"We're going to do whatever it takes to find out who did this," Edwards said.

Today, investigators were to continue poring through forensic evidence collected since the bodies of Karell, who lived above his store at 124 Washington St., and Paparella, of RooseveltWe are as concerned as they are for the safety of this community."

Ryan said the FBI's probe is "long overdue" and he called for additional action, including suspending the national security briefings she receives as a presidential candidate.

Tabaré Vázquez is a famous Uruguayan politician who has served as the 39th President of the country and has been re-appointed recently. Read on for information about his childhood, profile, career and timeline

Tabaré Vázquez is a member of the Uruguayan political party 'Frente Amplio', who served as the 39th President of Uruguay. This political leader began his career as an oncologist, and eventually went on to serve as the mayor of his hometown, a few years later. He participated in the presidential elections of Uruguay on two occasions, both of which were failed attempts. On the third try, as a representative of the 'Frente Amplio' political party, he won the elections with a majority of votes, to become the President of the country. As the President,


he attempted to bring about new economic reforms, the most effective being the 'Plan de Atención Nacional a la Emergencia Social' ('PANES'), which sought to alleviate poverty in the country. The President also took measures to promote positive international relations between Uruguay and other countries. Amongst other reforms, the most controversial was the 'I.R.P.F', where he set one single tax rate for people of all income groups. The reason for it being controversial was that certain groups of people ended up paying more tax than the others, and this caused public dissent. Despite a career that has had its share of controversies, Vázquez is still popular, and has recently been re-elected for a second Presidential term

Tabaré Ramón Vázquez Rosas was born on January 17, 1940, in Montevideo, thecapital city of Uruguay.

In 1972, he graduated in Oncology, from the medical school affiliated to the 'Universidad de la República'. Four years later, the government of France offered him a scholarship to pursue further training from the 'Gustave Roussy Institute', Paris.

Tabaré’s political career kick-started when he served as Montevideo's Mayor from 1990-95, as a member of the 'Frente Amplio' socialist-leftist political party. During the same decade he contested in the presidential elections twice, but lost out on both occasions.

Vázquez contested in the 2004 elections, winning with almost 51% votes, and was sworn in early the following year. With this historic win, he became the first Socialist-Leftist Uruguayan President who did not belong to any of the major political parties of the nation.

A majority of the parliamentary members were


from the new President's left-wing coalition party, the 'Frente Amplio'. He was also supported by the Head of State of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, and thus did not face too many hurdles as the newly elected leader of Uruguay.

Tabaré introduced certain new economic reforms in the country after assuming his office. One of the most important policies was the 'Impuesto a la Renta de las Personas Fisica', or the 'I.R.P.F. Reform' ('Income Tax on Natural Persons').

The reform replaced tax slabs with a uniform rate of personal income tax, and reduced value added tax. It was a controversial reform since it meant that certain groups of citizens would have to pay more taxes. Though it was also quite unlike Tabaré's Finance Minister Danilo Astori's careful economic policies,it met with huge success.

The President's term was marked by a distinct ground of social equality and justice. Vázquez used $100 million in a contingency plan titled 'Plan de Atención Nacional a la Emergencia Social' ('PANES'), for meeting the basic needs of the citizens for the next two years.

'PANES', which introduced new food and health programmes, and was run by Marina Arismendi, Minister of Social Development, with the goal of eradicating poverty and hunger, was initially criticised. However, it was similar to Brazil's emergency plan 'Fome Zero', and was considered to be a major step in bringing about social development.

In November 2005, he formed a committee of experts to investigate the disappearance and murder of innumerable leftists that had occurred during the final military dictatorship. His


endeavour was successful, and several corpses were discovered in the plausible sites.

The same year, the Parliament decided to pass a law known as 'Ley de Salud Sexual y Reproductiva', after receiving a majority of votes for its approval, from the 'Frente Amplio' members. The law aimed at reversing an old rule against abortion, and legalizing the medical procedure in Uruguay. However, despite majority approval, the President vetoed the decision to legalize abortion in the country.

One of the challenges that Tabaré faced during his term, was the dispute with the government of Argentina, where the latter claimed that Uruguayan pulp factories are polluting the Uruguay River.

Vázquez became the first Uruguayan President to travel to nations like South Korea and New Zealand, thus promoting foreign relations. He is also knownfor having maintained amicable relationships with the US, despite refusing to sign the 'Free Trade Area of the Americas' pact initiated by former US President George Bush.

The President has often been involved in political controversies, including the time when, in 2007, a Uruguayan Navy ship was found carrying Iranian weapons. This occurred at a time when the United Nations was promoting global peace by condemning the trade of ammunitions.

Tabaré attended several important events in Cuba, including a conference with Cuban President Raúl Castro, in June 2008. The same year, he gave his resignation as the leader of his party, because of protest over his refusal to pass the abortion law.

After his presidency ended, Tabaré announced his decision to contest the 2014 elections. He succeeded José Mujica and was


sworn in as President for a second time in March the following year.

As the President of Uruguay, Vázquez took mammoth steps to eradicate poverty by introducing food, educational, and health care reforms in the country. Under his presidency, the poverty in the nation dropped from 32% in 2004 to 20% within a period of five years.

This Uruguayan President is famous for his love for football and he served as the President of the ‘Club Progreso’ team from 1979-89. In the last year of his term as the President of the club, he led the team to its only victory in the ‘Professional National Championship’The Guy

There are a few things the Cubs had to consider when they went into their managerial search this offseason. First, they needed to do a full evaluation of their current team. They had to figure out what they were missing this season and why it fell short. They had to assess where Joe Maddon was at fault, what was on the players, and what was on them as a front office.

After those evaluations, the Cubs had three candidates that they were heavily considering. Former Yankees manager Joe Girardi, former catcher David Ross, and Astros bench coach Joe Espada.

They went with Ross. My thinking is that he was the favorite all along, and the only team he would’ve considered becoming the manager for was the Cubs. Had they


Recently elected leader accepts invitation to Washington after being denied visa in 2005 over sectarian violence in Gujarat

Narendra Modi, the recently elected prime minister of India, has accepted an invitation from the US government to visit Washington later this year.

In 2005 Modi, who won a landslide victory in May, was denied a visa to the US under a 1998 law barring entry to foreigners who have committed "particularly severe violations of religious freedom".

The decision followed accusations that the former organiser for a rightwing Hindu revivalist organisation had stood by, or even encouraged rioters, during sectarian violence in the western state of Gujarat in 2002, when he was chief minister.

More than 1,000 people, largely Muslims, were killed in the episode which occurred shortly after Modi had taken power inthe state. The 63-year-old has denied all wrongdoing and India's supreme court ruled in 2010 that there was insufficient evidence to back the charges against him.

The UK ended its boycott of Modi in 2012. The European Union swiftly followed, with the US ambassador only meeting the prime ministerial candidate for the first time earlier this year.

Close aides of Modi – a former tea-seller who came from humble origins to win power in a nation of 1.25 billion – have described how, around a year before his electoral victory, he rejected suggestions that he should lobby to end the visa ban and boycott, arguing that Washington would "come to him" when the time was right.

Modi's campaign stressed the importance of reinvigorating India's flagging economy and he is likely to


place ambitions for greater commercial ties with the US before any personal resentment, analysts say.

"We don't really know what he feels personally, but the US has been working hard trying to woo India [since the election] so they've clearly understood there is a new game in town. The Chinese have also been very active," said Manoj Joshi, a security expert at the Delhi-based Observer Research Foundation.

US strategists have said it is hoped India would help counterbalance an increasingly powerful China both in the region and further afield.

However Modi, whose few trips abroad before taking power were largely confined to east Asia, has long had a good relationship with Beijing and is known to admire China's economic achievements.

Modi is likely to visit Washington in September, when he is dueto attend the United Nations general assembly in New York.

As prime minister, Modi will be eligible for an A1 visa, state department officials have said. William Burns, the US deputy secretary of state, told reporters in Delhi on Thursday during a two-day visit to India, that Modi "has won a very strong mandate to reinvigorate India's development, and its rise on the world stage".

An official statement released by the Indian government said Modi "looked forward to a result-oriented visit with concrete outcomes that imparts new momentum and energy to India-US strategic partnership".

Relations between the US and India have long been rocky, though they have steadily improved since a nadir in the 1970s. Barack Obama received a warm welcome on his visit in 2010 when he described the two


countries' shared interests as the foundations of "a defining partnership for the 21st century".

The two nations, however, rowed publicly last year over the arrest in New York of an Indian diplomat on visa fraud charges. The arrest prompted outrage in India and a range of retaliatory measures. While both New Delhi and Washington stressed the importance of their bilateral relationship during the crisis, it took weeks of complex wrangling to find a solution.

There remains deep suspicion of Washington in New Delhi, and in India more generally, and many US officials see India as a difficult partner.

"The US has difficulty accepting partnership with India and India sees itself as a major power and has sought a sense of equality," Joshi said. "Some members of the previous government had afrom those members of the panel who are in the media eye and have ample opportunity to put their views across, I attended to hear from the public, from the Jewish community, from football fans. There were only 8 questions allowed from the floor in the two and a half hour session, and infact when a member of the audience asked that the “Y” Word debate be allowed to continue after the half time break, she was told that it was time to move on…there was an exhibition to promote!

Kick it Out stated at the end that they had no objections to holding a debate in London, and I welcome a debate providing the opportunity to properly engage, not just to be talked at by a few people.


The sergeant, based at Dubai airport, earlier admitted to the charges when he appeared in the Court of Misdemeanours but claimed he did not mean to breach the star's privacy.

An Emirati police officer has been sentenced to one month in jail on the charge of breaching the privacy of Barcelona star Lionel Messi by posting pictures of his passport online.

The sergeant, based at Dubai airport, earlier admitted to the charges when he appeared in the Court of Misdemeanours but claimed he did not mean to breach the star's privacy.

The case dates back to December 27 when the Argentinian footballer had just arrived into Dubai for the Global Soccer Award Ceremony.

According to prosecution records, the 26-year-old officer was at Terminal 2 of the airport to submit a sick leavewhen he learnt that his idol was about to arrive.

The sergeant told the investigators that he did not manage to take a selfie with the star, who was then tired as he was told by the star's guards.

However, when passing by the passport control counter he spotted Messi's passport.

So he clicked photos of the passport and posted it on Snapchat, which is believed to have gone viral.

The court was told that the sergeant posted the photo of the passport with a comment that read: "This is Messi in Dubai... Now what to do? Burn the passport ...or leave it there? Ok. I will leave it there."

The officer claimed in the investigation he got the approval of a security staff member accompanying Messi before he took a picture of

grew up watching old films. The films I saw during my childhood were
mainly westerns, swashbucklers and MGM musicals, and most of them I
initially watched dubbed in German. (I am Dutch, grew up without cable
television and classic Hollywood films were mainly shown on German television.)
Much later I discovered other films I liked, like film noirs and even later
pre-codes. Although I also like a good modern film, I do have a strong
preference for classic films. (And there are enough classic films I haven't
seen yet to last me a lifetime!)

film a "classic" in your opinion?

Stars and Letters: I would call a Hollywood film a
"classic" if it was made between the late 1920s and mid-1960s (my
favourite decades being the 1930s and 1940s). Obviously, in a different sense,

       The defendant was indicted for three counts of the aggravated assault of the
victim, Joy Irvin, who was his girlfriend at the time.

      At trial, Officer Ben Jones with the Franklin Police Department testified that he
was dispatched to the hospital emergency room on May 13, 2012, to investigate a
domestic assault. He made contact with the victim and observed that she “was severely
bruised around her face and slight bruises on her arms.” The victim also showed him a
bruise on her


clock that was on the ground that had been broken to pieces.” He also
found an empty fifth of vodka on the kitchen table.

       The victim‟s eight-year-old daughter (“younger daughter”) testified that, on the
night of the incident, she was awoken by “a beating sound” and her mother and the
defendant‟s voices. She walked by her mother‟s room and saw the defendant walking
toward her mother, as her mother sat on the floor near her closet yelling, “[N]o, don‟t.”
She saw the defendant hit her mother in the face. The younger daughter then went
downstairs into the living room. She saw her mother and the defendant walk downstairs,
and the defendant got into his truck and drove away. Before the defendant left, the
younger daughter saw him “whack” a “bigbar thing” at her mother‟s leg. The younger
daughter also observed that her mother‟s face was covered in “[p]urple stuff” and
“looked pretty bad.”

       The victim‟s eleven-year-old daughter (“older daughter”) testified that she was in
her bedroom on the night of the incident when she heard her mother say to the defendant,
“[G]et off of me.” The older daughter stated that she went to her mother‟s bedroom and
kicked the door open, at which point she saw the defendant “banging [her] mom‟s head
up against the floor.” Her mother was “knocked out” and lying on the floor. The older
daughter went downstairs and got a knife because she “was scared that [the defendant]
was going to kill [her] mom.” She and her sister hid in her bedroom closet. The older
daughter


stated that she saw the defendant hit her mother one time, and that both of her
mother‟s eyes were black and her face was swollen. She recalled that she saw the
defendant drinking vodka right before she went to bed that night. On cross-examination,
the older daughter admitted that her mother slapped her one time that evening.

       The victim testified that, in May 2012, she and the defendant were dating but lived
separately. On May 12, the defendant came to her house with plans to take her and her
                                           2
daughters out for Mother‟s Day the following day. The defendant arrived around 7:00
p.m. and brought a fifth of vodka with him. Everything was fine at first. “[H]e just drank
some of his vodka and [they] talked and just did [their] normal thing.” The victim sent
her daughters to bed, and she and the defendant retired to her bedroom.

       The victim testified that, after spending some time in her room watching TV and
smoking marijuana, the defendant decided that he wanted to leave. However, the victim
did not want him to go because she felt that he was too intoxicated to drive. In an effort
to get him to stay, the victim convinced the defendant that they were going to have sex.
She


removed the defendant‟s pants to get his truck keys, rolled them up, and put them
under her pillow. She then lay down on her bed on her stomach. The victim could tell
that her actions angered the defendant. After a few minutes, the defendant yanked the
victim up by her hair. She told him that she would return his pants if he would release
her. He did, and she threw his pants at him.

       The victim testified that the defendant was so angry that he pulled her off the bed
onto the floor, put his left forearm to her throat, and started hitting the right side of her
face. In an effort to get him to stop, the victim grabbed the defendant‟s ear and testicles.
The defendant hit herabout twenty times before she blacked out. When she came to, the
defendant had a hold of her hair and both of her ears and was banging her head onto the
floor. The defendant banged her head seven or eight times. At this point, the victim
noticed her older daughter standing in the doorway of her bedroom with a kitchen knife,
and the victim gestured for her to leave. The defendant then grabbed her hand and bent
her fingers back, breaking her hand. After that, the defendant got dressed, and the victim
demanded that he leave her house.

       The victim testified that, about two minutes after the defendant walked out, she
realized that he had her seizure medication. She asked him for her medication, and the
defendant responded, “I hope


you die, bitch.” The victim then turned to go back into the
house. When she did not hear the defendant‟s truck start, she turned back around in time
to see the defendant swinging a bat at her head. She blocked and grabbed the bat with
her left hand, but she could not get a good grip on it due to her hand being broken. The
defendant then hit her in the right thigh with the bat, knocking her down, and then he left.

       The victim testified that she called her father, and he arrived and took her to the
hospital. She suffered a broken hand, bruises to her face, an injury to her nose, a large
bruise on her thigh from being struck with the baseball bat, atorn retina, and bruising on
her knees, left elbow, right ankle, and left shoulder.

      On cross-examination, the victim recalled a doctor‟s appointment she had on
March 29, 2012, in which she discussed with her doctor that her anti-seizure medication
                                             3
was causing her to be agitated, and she was prescribed a new medication. She stated that
in March, April, and May of 2012, her anti-seizure medication was making her agitated
and irritable, though she did not remember it making her angry. Asked whether she


do
“strange things” like slap her daughter. The victim stated that she is 5‟11” tall and
weighs 226 pounds.

       Officer Jennifer Harrell, who was employed with the Franklin Police Department
at the time of the incident, testified to her involvement in the investigation in the case.
Officer Harrell discussed the victim‟s visible injuries and said that she took photographs
of them. She classified some of the victim‟s injuries as defensive injuries. On cross-
examination, Officer Harrell stated that she did not recall the victim‟s initial account of
the events including that the defendant had pulled her hair.

       Officer Zachary Wolfe with the Franklin Police Department testified that he
reported to the hospital on May 15, 2012, to take the defendant into custody. He
elaborated thatthe defendant had been taken into custody by the U.S. Marshal‟s office
and had been transported to the hospital due to complaints of rib pain and pain in his right
hand. When Officer Wolfe made contact with the defendant, the defendant told him that
the incident occurred between the hours of 11:00 p.m. on May 13 and midnight on May
14. He said that the victim had violent mood swings, and his actions were in self-
defense. The defendant also mentioned an incident that occurred between the victim and
a male co-worker a couple of weeks or months prior. The defendant said that the victim
“became very violent” towards people when she had a mood swing. Officer Wolfe took


testified on his own behalf. He said that on the date of the incident,
he was fifty-two years old and weighed 210 pounds. His medical history included nerve
damage in his left hand and pelvic and vertebral problems stemming from a car accident.
He testified about the history of his relationship with the victim and that, during the
course of their relationship, he was living with another woman. He said that he provided
financially for the victim and her children during the course of their relationship.

       The defendant testified that he accompanied the victim to her doctor‟s
appointments “numerous times.” He observed the victim suffer a seizure on more than
one occasion. He recalled that on March 29, 2012, he went with the victim to an
appointment with Dr. Schwaband afterward to the pharmacy to have medications filled.
He attended another doctor‟s appointment with the victim on April 4, 2012, but he did
not recall taking her to the pharmacy after that visit. He attended another doctor‟s
appointment with the victim on May 10, 2012, and accompanied her to the pharmacy
afterward to have medications filled.

       The defendant testified that beginning in March 2012, he noticed the victim
becoming “very moody, easily agitated, [and] verbally abusive” – a change from her
prior behavior. The victim spoke of going back to the doctor to see if she could get a
different medication. The defendant stated that he maintained possession of one of the
victim‟s medications to prevent her from abusing them and would dole it out when
needed. On May 9,


2012, he received a phone call from the victim which caused him to
go to her house after work and, when he arrived, the victim was “very angry, highly
aggressive.”

       On May 12, 2012, the date of the incident, the defendant arrived at the victim‟s
home around 7:30 p.m., and he brought with him a half-full bottle of vodka and tomato
juice. He also brought some Primatene tablets for the victim because she was having an
asthma attack. When he arrived, he could sense tension in the house, and the victim was
not feeling well. The defendant saw the victim take the Primatene tablets and then go
upstairs to lie down, complaining of a headache. However, before the victim went

                                           5
upstairs, the defendant saw the victim slap her older daughter “real hard” after an
argument. He had never seen the victim do that before.

       The defendant testified that he remained downstairs watching television until 8:00
or 8:30 p.m. and then went upstairs to the victim‟s bedroom. He found the victim lying
on her back and staring at the ceiling, apparently in pain. He asked her several times if
she was all right but got no response. He was finally able to rouse her by tapping her on
the head. When the victim came


to, she wanted to smoke marijuana and they did so
together. He remained upstairs with the victim for about a half-hour before going back
downstairs to continue watching TV.

       The defendant testified that he went upstairs approximately three additional times
throughout the evening to check on the victim. He was drinking mixed drinks during this
time but only had two drinks the entire night. He went upstairs around 11:30 p.m.,
removed his clothes, and got into bed without waking the victim. He fell asleep but woke
up around 2:00 a.m. to use the bathroom. When he returned, the victim was breathing
normally, so he decided to leave. He began to dress, but, when the victim awoke and
discovered that he was leaving, she grabbed his pants and put them behindher pillow.
She pleaded with him to stay.

       The defendant testified that the victim eventually threw his pants at him. After he
put on his pants, the victim closed the bedroom door and blocked it with her body. He
asked the victim to move, and then a struggle ensued as he attempted to push her out of
the way. The victim got out of his way, but he did not leave immediately, staying to put
on his boots. The defendant claimed that, while he was putting on his boots, the victim
charged him and pinned him against the wall. He said that the victim tried to hit him, and
he blocked the blows. She eventually grabbed his testicles and squeezed very hard. He
said that the victim was very strong,


and he was afraid. He pushed the victim away and
“head butted” her in the nose, and she released the grip on his testicles.

        The defendant testified that he tried to get out of the bedroom, but the victim
charged at him and grabbed his testicles again. They wrestled, and he landed on top of
her. The victim still had a hold of his testicles and also grabbed his ear, trying to rip it
off. The defendant hit the victim approximately ten times on the left side of her head in
an attempt to get away from her, but he did not hit her in the face. He thought the
victim‟s black eyes were from his “head butting” her. The defendant denied that he tried
to strangle thevictim. However, he might have used one of his arms across the victim‟s
chest to try to push her back. He also denied snapping the victim‟s fingers back and
speculated that the injury must have happened when they fell. The victim eventually let
go of him, and he left. He never saw the victim‟s older daughter enter the bedroom.

                                             6
       The defendant testified that he managed to get in his truck and start it before he
saw the victim coming toward him


with her hand down beside her leg as though carrying
something. He got out of the truck so he could hear what the victim was saying to him,
but, when he saw her hand move, he kicked her in the right leg and possibly in the hand,
fearing that she was going to stab him. However, he admitted that he did not see a knife.
He then left in his truck. He denied having a baseball bat in his truck.

      Officer Jones was recalled by the defendant and testified regarding his
conversation with the victim‟s two daughters at the hospital. He said that the younger
daughter told him that she was asleep during the incident and did not see anything.

       Following the conclusionvictim‟s doctor, in the defendant‟s presence, as
well as findings by the doctor contained in the victim‟s medical records. The defendant
asserted that reference was made to the victim‟s having problems with her medications
and having mood swings, which was “very relevant in laying ground work coming up to
the conduct” on the day of the incident. The court reserved ruling on the issue until it
came up at trial.

       Thereafter, during the trial, defense counsel sought to question the victim about
some of her doctor‟s appointments that took place before the incident. Defense counsel
explained that he wanted to establish that the defendant attended those appointments with
her and that they discussed her seizures and problems with her medications during those
appointments, as well as the side effects of the


Westboro members outraged.

Lima (AFP)

Peru's President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski announced his resignation Wednesday in an address to the nation, the day before he was to face an impeachment vote in Congress.

The 79-year-old former Wall Street banker, under fire over his links to Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht, denied allegations of bribe-taking but said his resignation was "the best thing for the country."

Kuczynski is the first president to lose his job over the scandal in which the Brazilian company admitted paying out millions of dollars in bribes and gifts to Latin American politicians and businessmen to secure public works contracts.

His resignation comes a few weeks before Kuczynski was due to host the Summit of the Americas in Lima, where US President Donald Trump and others leaders of the Western Hemisphere are


expected April 13-14.

"Faced with this difficult situation that unfairly makes me appear guilty, I think the best thing for the country is for me to resign the presidency of the republic," he said in the televised address, which showed him seated at a polished conference table with his cabinet standing grim-faced behind him.

"I do not want to be an obstacle, for the country to continue suffering with the uncertainty of these recent times," said the president, who survived a previous impeachment vote in December.

Vice President Martin Vizcarra, who is currently serving as Peru's ambassador to Canada, is likely to replace Kuczynski to avoid early elections at a time of widespread voter discontent with political parties.

Pressure built on Kuczynski to resign throughout Wednesday after the opposition alleged the embattledpresident was trying to buy votes ahead of the impeachment ballot.

Lawmakers from Keiko Fujimori's Popular Force party released recordings of her brother Kenji and others apparently negotiating public works contracts with a government official, and said it was proof that Kuczynski was trying to buy votes.

"This government thought it could buy everything. There will always be brave and worthy Peruvians who are not for sale. It's time to tell Mr PPK that he's leaving, and NOW!" Keiko Fujimori tweeted, using the president's initials.

The videos, dating from December, were filmed ahead of the previous impeachment vote, which Kuczynski survived with Kenji Fujimori's help.

Days later, Kuczynski pardoned the Fujimoris' imprisoned father, ex-president Alberto Fujimori, in what was widely seen as a payoff for support.

The government denied vote-buying.

- Odebrecht's Reach -

Kuczynski


said during the week he was confident of defeating the impeachment vote.

On Sunday, Kuczynski said removing him would amount to a "coup d'etat" in the South American country -- and tarnish Peru's image just before it is due to host the Summit of the Americas.

Odebrecht has admitted spending millions to bribe government officials across Latin America to secure public works contracts.

Other politicians to lose their posts include Ecuador's former vice president Jorge Glas, who previously was the highest-ranking politician to fall over the Odebrecht scandal. He was jailed for six years.

The Supreme Court last week cleared the way for Peru to formally request the extradition of former president Alejandro Toledo from the US.

Odebrechtsaid it paid five million dollars in fees to companies linked to Kuczynski when he was Peru's economy minister, under Toledo.

He was accused of lying about his ties to Odebrecht, but later admitted he had taken the money for what he and the company insist were legitimate consulting fees.

The scandal, which has dogged the president over the past six months, finally became to much for the elderly politician when it became increasingly clear he could not survive the impeachment vote.

As Los Angeles County attorneys sit out what they deem an unnecessary delay in the trial of former Symbionese Liberation Army member Kathleen Soliah, the Sacramento County district attorney refuses to file charges in a related case in which a woman was killed during an SLA bank robbery.

Best known for the November 1973 slaying of Oakland school Superintendent Marcus Foster and the kidnapping of newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst three months later, the SLA was a small band of terrorists who purposed to overthrow white bourgeois capitalists. The group adopted the motto, “Death to the Fascist insect that preys upon the life of the people.”

After a shootout in May 1974, in which nine SLA members were killed by police, many of the terrorists went underground, including Hearst, who claimsshe was brainwashed by the group. (She was given a presidential pardon by Bill Clinton on his last day in office.)

One member who chose to remain public — albeit temporarily — was Kathleen Soliah. Just weeks after the shootout, Soliah led an SLA rally in Berkeley, Calif. Then, on April 21, 1975, SLA members robbed the Crocker National Bank at its branch near Sacramento. During the robbery, 42-year-old Myrna Opsahl was shot dead. Court records later implicated Soliah and seven SLA associates, including Hearst.

But Soliah is not facing trial for her participation in the robbery that resulted in Opsahl’s murder, and for which Soliah’s brother — fellow SLA member Steven Soliah — was acquitted in 1976. Kathleen Soliah was indicted the same year on explosives and conspiracy charges.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Charles Carr, who was just a college freshman when he drove country music legend Hank Williams on his final, lonesome journey six decades ago, has died.

The director of the Hank Williams Museum in Montgomery, Beth Petty, said Carr, a retired investor, died Monday after a brief illness. He was 79.

Carr’s son, Charles Lands Carr, said his father didn’t talk much about being Williams’ driver on that final trip, until late in his life.

Williams died at the age of 29 just before or on Jan. 1, 1953. He died during the night in the back of his 1952 blue Cadillac near Bluefield, W.Va., while he and Carr were on their way to a show in Canton, Ohio.

According to The Tennessean newspaper, which examined Williams’ deathin 2003, the country singer had taken a shot of morphine to ease his back pain on Dec. 30 and was carrying chloral hydrate, a sleep aid. Williams consumed alcohol the following day at a Knoxville, Tenn., hotel, where he also summoned a doctor and received two more morphine shots along with some vitamin B12, the newspaper reported.

Carr told The Tennessean that he spoke to Williams on a couple of occasions after they set off again, and that when they were pulled over by a police officer, Williams was sleeping. At some point in the drive, Carr learned that Williams had died and took him to a hospital.

Heart failure was listed as the cause of death.

They may be too young to vote in the 2019 federal election, but students at Kitsilano Secondary School in Vancouver were among thousands of Canadian kids lining up to cast ballots in mock elections at their schools this week.

Across the country's 338 ridings, elementary and secondary students at more than 9,500 schools will have the opportunity to vote for the official candidates in their riding.

Nearly 700 schools in the Lower Mainland are participating in the 2019 Student Vote organized by CIVIX, a non-partisan group focused on engaging youth in democracy.

The group estimates this year's election will be the largest student parallel election held in CanadaFormer Moab resident
Carolyn Dailey will be showing recent “plein air” oil
paintings of the Moab area starting Saturday, November 10th
at the Overlook Gallery. The show entitled “Moab Magic” opens
as part of the November Art Walk with a reception from 6:00
- 9:00pm. The artist will be present at the opening and will
be available to sign posters of the show. The show will run
for one month. All paintings are original oils by the artist
and will be for sale.

Overlook

Carolyn Dailey’s
name is well known among the Moab art community. She lived
in Moab for 5 years from 1987 until 1992. Moab is very special
to her because it was here in the glorious red rock canyon
country that Carolyn learned to paint “plein air” landscapes
- painting outdoors from life in the “full air.” Many
of her paintings


from that time still grace the homes of
her friends in Moab today. Last year her “Moab Magic” show
at the M.A.R.C. was almost a complete sell out.

She was also honored in August 2006 by the Grand County Public
Library when they purchased two of her landscapes for their
new building. The painting entitled “Colorado River” was
painted along the river road near what used to be the White
Ranch and “Dark Angel” was painted at Arches
National Park looking towards the fins. Both paintings were
from her personal collection of favorite paintings from the
time that she lived here and now are on display in the library.

Loving art and winning art awards since her childhood growing
up in Maryland and Pennsylvania, Carolyn came out west to
college where she studied art while earning her Bachelor’s
and Master’s Degrees atthe University of New Mexico
and the University of Colorado. Carolyn continued to paint
while working in a career of educational research and has
been a professional painter since 1983. She began working
as a full time artist in 1987 when she left her position
in the administration at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado
to move to Moab to paint full-time.

The Neck

Carolyn’s current
painting technique was influenced by workshop study in 1989
and 1990 with nationally known painters Mark Daily, Michael
Lynch, and Ned Jacobs at the Fechin Institute in Taos, NM.
But her main mentor was New Mexican artist Frank La Lumia,
recent author of “Plein Air Painting: Watercolors and
Oils,” whom she met painting at Arches National Park
in the winter of 1988. She remembers, “He stopped to
talk to me while I was painting the Gossips. He and


complex ceremonial and market scenes that are difficult
to paint from life. Preferring to paint on Belgian Linen
for its elegant surface, she also uses the finest quality
of oil paints and displays her work in gold frames with linen
liners. The paintings in her “Moab Magic II” show
are outdoor “plein air” pieces completed in May
and October of this year while the artist was visiting in
the area.

Kane Creek

After leaving Moab Carolyn
lived for 15 years in Panajachel on the mystical Lake Atitlan
in Guatemala where she painted landscapes as well as the
colorful Mayan people. Her work is represented by three of
the finest galleries in Guatemala - the GALERIA DE ARTE in
the old colonial city of Antigua, LA GALERIA in Panajachel
and the CARLOS ARRIOLA GALLERY in the famous Hotel Camino
Real in Guatemala City. Carolyn hasalso participated in
numerous one-woman shows and group shows in both in Guatemala
and the United States. Her biggest show held at the IXCHEL
MUSEUM in Guatemala City in 1999 was entitled “Dos
Mundos, Una Vida” and featured 25 pairs of paintings
showing the parallels between the landscape and native people
of Guatemala and the Himalayan countries of Nepal and Tibet
where she traveled in 1998. In 1993 and 2002 she was given
shows at the Durango Arts Center in Durango, Colorado. But
perhaps the most famous art show that she ever participated
in was the 1985 Annual Invitational Show of the prestigious
Salamugundi Club in New York City who accepted a painting
she did of Antelope Canyon near Page, Arizona. A complete
listing of her exhibitions as well as a variety of her paintings
can be found on her website: www.livesite.net/carolyndailey.

“Moab


Magic II” will present approximately 20
oil paintings done in the Moab area including images from
the Colorado River, Castle Valley, Arches National Park and
Island in the Sky. Come see her show and experience some

Not surprisingly, the box-office success of Twilight has led the CW to stake out some territory in the teens-and-vampires genre by picking up a pilot for Vampire Diaries, a Kevin Williamson-penned adaptation of a 15-year-old series of novels.

Similar to (and yet predating) Stephanie Meyer's Twilight, Vampire Diaries revolves around a young heroine who is the object of obsession of two brothers — both vampires, one good and one ... well, he's more complicated. The bloodsucking siblings fight for her soul, as well as dibs on other residents within their small town.

Williamson (Dawson's Creek, Scream) is penning the pilot with Julie Plec (Kyle XY), and will exec-produce.

The CW has also greenlit Body Politic, a Washington, D.C-set drama about young up-and-comers


Barbara Boxer attacks fellow members for sleeping in their offices

The meme that members of the House of Representatives are somehow receiving illicit benefits for sleeping in their offices has made its way up the food chain – from a left-wing storefront to the media and now finally to the halls of Congress.

On the Senate floor on Thursday, California Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer took that ball and ran with it. The liberal senator went after her Republican colleagues and proposed legislation that in the event of a government shutdown would prevent members of Congress from being paid. She also went on a long-winded rant about the so-called hypocrisy of her GOP colleagues.

The IAEA has passed a resolution on Iran, drafted by a group of international mediators. This as the US reportedly wants Tehran to curtail its nuclear program until spring 2012, otherwise they will give a green light to an Israeli strike on Iran.

The resolution urges Iran to provide access to its nuclear facilities for UN experts and cooperate with the IAEA.The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors passed the resolution sponsored by the Iran Six, including Russia, the United States, China, Britain, France and Germany, by a 32-2 vote with one abstention. Since 2003 Iran Six has been trying to convince Tehran to halt its uranium enrichment program, suspecting it of building nuclear weapons, which Iran had


repeatedly denied.The spring is set as a deadline due to the exit of American forces from the region, Yedioth Ahronoth daily writes.In the absence of US forces, Israel can attack without American consent.The newspaper also quotes the Daily Beast website as claiming that Israel now has tens of billions of dollars worth of high-tech arms capable of “blinding and stunning” Iran at their disposal.So should a military action commence, Israel will not be content with just air raids and bombardment, but also will derail the internet and all kinds of digital and mobile communication in the country. The Jerusalem Post also writes on a possible Israeli attack on Iran, but warns it may well backfire on Russia, China, France, Britain and Germany.

harpy was a female monster in the form of
a bird with a human face.
They steal food from their victims while they
are eating and carry evildoers to the Erinyes.
They seem originally to have been wind spirits.
Their name means "snatchers".
Homer wrote that a harpy was the mother of
the two horses of Achilles sired by the West
Wind Zephyros.
Hesiod calls them two "lovely-haired" creatures,
the daughters of Thaumas and Electra, who
were sisters of the Iris.
Pottery art depicting the harpies featured
beautiful women with wings.
Harpies as ugly winged bird-women, e.g. in
Aeschylus' The Eumenides are a late development.
Roman and Byzantine writers detailed their
ugliness.
Mythology
Phineus, a king of Thrace, had the gift of
prophecy.
Zeus, angry that Phineus revealed too much,
punished him by blinding him and putting him
on an island with a buffet of


food which he
could never eat.
The harpies always arrived to steal the food
out of his hands before he could satisfy his
hunger, and befouled the remains of his food.
This continued until the arrival of Jason
and the Argonauts.
The Boreads, sons of Boreas, the North Wind,
who also could fly, succeeded in driving off
the harpies, but without killing any of them,
following a request from Iris, who promised
that Phineus would not be bothered by the
harpies again.
"The dogs of great Zeus" returned to their
"cave in Minoan Crete".
Thankful for their help, Phineus told the
Argonauts how to pass the Symplegades.
In this form they were agents of punishment
who abducted people and tortured them on their
way to Tartarus.
They were vicious, cruel and violent.
They lived on the islands of the Strophades.
They were usually seen as the personifications
of the destructive natureof wind.
The harpies in this tradition, now thought
of as three sisters instead of the original
two, Hesiod's two Harpies are named Aello
and Ocypete, Virgil's added Celaeno as a third.
Homer knew of a Harpy named Podarge.
Aeneas encountered harpies on the Strophades
as they repeatedly made off with the feast
the Trojans were setting.
Celaeno cursed them, saying the Trojans will
be so hungry they will eat their tables before
they reach the end of their journey.
The Trojans fled in fear.
Harpies remained vivid in the Middle Ages.
In his Inferno, XIII, Dante envisages the
tortured wood infested with harpies, where
the suicides have their punishment in the
seventh ring of Hell:
William Blake was inspired by Dante's description
in his pencil, ink and watercolour "The Wood
of the Self-Murderers: The Harpies and the
Suicides".
Linguistic use and application
The American Harpy Eagle is a real bird


named
after the mythological animal.
The term is often used metaphorically to refer
to a nasty or annoying woman.
In Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, Benedick
spots the sharp-tongued Beatrice approaching
and exclaims to the Prince, Don Pedro, that
he would do an assortment of arduous tasks
for him "rather than hold three words conference
with this harpy!"
Heraldry
In the Middle Ages, the harpy, often called
the Jungfrauenadler or "virgin eagle", became
a popular charge in heraldry, particularly
in East Frisia, seen on, among others, the
coats-of-arms of Rietburg, Liechtenstein,
and the Cirksena.

To help bridge the gap in outcomes for pediatric CNS tumors in LMICs, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (St. Jude) launched the first St. Jude Global Academy Neuro-Oncology Training Seminar, which is a blended course in pediatric neuro-oncology with a focus on LMIC needs. The course focuses on teams of specialists who care for children with CNS tumors (oncologists, neurosurgeons, neurologists, radiologists, pathologists, and radiation oncologists) and seeks to provide knowledge and skills that are globally applicable in the context of multidisciplinary care. After systematic creation of the curriculum, course elements were defined by a needs assessment survey that included an evaluation of team dynamics, treatment capacity, and educational goals.

Assignment: China - A Tale of Two Chinas

This segment in the Assignment:China series focuses on China during the 1990s, when the ongoing crackdown in the wake of the Tiananmen Square protests made it difficult for the American press corps to meet people, travel, or get beyond the stifling bureaucratic obstacles. Reporters and their sources faced continuing surveillance and harassment. However, as the economy took off, the climate for journalists began to improve, and by the late 90s, the China beat entered what one American correspondent described as its "golden age."

China in the 1990s was a paradox. In the wake of the 1989 crackdown in Tiananmen Square, political repression intensified. At the same time, however, following Deng Xiaoping's "Southern Tour" in 1992, the country's economy took off,


triggering dramatic social, economic, and even political changes. It was a decade marked by the emergence of China's first stock markets, the massive migration of millions of people from the countryside to the booming industrial centers on the coast, the rise of Shanghai as a new financial center, and the development of a vibrant youth culture. It was also a period of political transition and tension, with the death of Deng Xiaoping, the Hong Kong handover, a thaw in Sino-American relations, and the emergence of the Falungong.

For the American press corps, it was a particularly challenging time. The ongoing crackdown in the wake of the Tiananmen Square protests made it difficult to meet people, travel, or get beyond the stifling bureaucratic obstacles. Reporters and their sources faced continuingsurveillance and harassment. However, as the economy took off, the climate for journalists began to improve, and by the late 90s, the China beat entered what one American correspondent described as its "golden age."

The film features interviews with journalists who covered China during those years, including such well-known correspondents as Nicholas Kristof and Elisabeth Rosenthal of the New York Times, James McGregor, Joseph Kahn, Ian Johnson, Kathy Chen, and Marcus Brauchli of the Wall St. Journal, Lena Sun, John Pomfret, and Keith Richburg of the Washington Post, Jaime FlorCruz of Time, Rebecca MacKinnon of CNN,, Melinda Liu of Newsweek, and many others, It also includes interviews with American diplomats who handled Chinese affairs, and contains fascinating footage of China from that time.

Conway was asked on CBS's "Face the Nation" about Trump's tweet earlier Sunday in which he accused journalists of “purposely” causing “division & distrust”since he hit the campaign trail in 2015.

Trump frequently whips his supporters into a frenzy at campaign rallies, urging them to jeer reporters in attendance. He has recently taken to describing the press as the "enemy of the people."

A juvenile fan of the video game Halo 3 is accused of punching his mother after she forced him to end his game Sunday night and fighting with sheriff’s deputies as they tried to restrain him, according to reports released Wednesday.

Indian River County Sheriff’s Deputy Sean Harnage reported responding to the family’s home at about 11:30 p.m. Sunday in reference to an “out-of-control child.”

The parents told deputies their son was playing Halo 3, and it was getting late and he needed to shut it off. When the son refused to turn off the game, the parents reportedly took the air card out of his machine so he couldn’t play anymore.

Reports show the son became enraged, went through the house looking for the air card, and then punched hismother, prompting the parents to call the Sheriff’s Office.

After the boy retreated to his bedroom and locked it, the mother knocked on the door and told him he needed to come out and talk to the deputies, the report stated. But the juvenile allegedly responded with profanity.

Harnage and another deputy entered the room using a key from the parents to arrest the son, according to the report. The son fought the deputies - at one time punching Harnage on the lip - until they handcuffed him.

He was later turned over to state juvenile authorities on charges of battery-domestic violence and battery on a law-enforcement officer.

The son’s and parents’ names are being withheld because of the juvenile’s age.

The Mood in Marietta, Ohio, at the Beginning of the Civil WarDigital History ID 405

Author:
Frederic Pearce
Date:1861

Annotation:

Many Northerners felt confident of a quick victory. In 1861, the Union states had 22.5 million people, compared to just 9 million in the Confederate states (including 3.7 million slaves). Not only did the Union have more manpower, it also had a larger navy, a more developed railroad system, and a stronger manufacturing base. The North had 1.3 million industrial workers, compared to the South's 110,000. Northern factories manufactured nine times as many industrial goods as the South; seventeen times as many cotton and woolen goods; thirty times as many boots and shoes; twenty times as much pig iron; twenty-four times as many railroad locomotives--and 33 times as many firearms.

But Confederates also feltconfident. For one thing, the Confederacy had only to wage a defensive war and wait for northern morale to erode. In contrast, the Union had to conquer and control the Confederacy's 750,000 square miles of territory. Further, the Confederate army seemed superior to that of the Union. More Southerners had attended West Point or other military academies, had served as army officers, and had experience using firearms and horses. At the beginning of 1861, the U.S. army consisted of only 16,000 men, most of whom served on the frontier fighting Indians. History, too, seemed to be on the South's side. Before the Civil War, most nations that had fought for independence, including, of course, the United States, had won their struggle. A school textbook epitomized southern confidence: "If


one Confederate soldier can whip seven Yankees," it asked, "how many soldiers can whip 49 Yanks?"

OAKVILLE, ON – Cameron’s Brewing has announced that an award-winning beer originally released in the spring is now back for a holiday release at the LCBO.

Where The Buffalo Roam (13% abv) is a barley wine that was named the World’s Best Pale Beer in the 2017 edition of the World Beer Awards. It’s described as follows:
