Bundesliga side Schalke 04 have lodged a protest with Uefa over Galatasaray striker Didier Drogba's participation in their 1-1 Champions League draw.

"There are doubts about the validity of the permission to play Drogba in the Champions League," the German club said on their official Twitter account. external-link

"Schalke 04 reserves its rights and is looking into this."

Uefa confirmed it had received "a protest concerning Drogba's eligibility".

Jermaine Jones earned Schalke a 1-1 draw in the last 16 first leg match against Galatasaray

The European governing body said its disciplinary panel would investigate the matter but had not yet set a date.

Ivorian Drogba made his European debut for the Turkish club on Wednesday, after joining them in January from Shanghai Shenhua.

The former Chelsea forward signed an18-month contract with the Istanbul side after moving from China.

The Chinese club - with whom he had signed a two-and-a-half-year deal last June - opposed the move.

He made his full debut in the last-16 tie, following his appearance as a substitute in a league game last Friday, in which he scored just minutes after coming on.

Schalke earned a valuable draw in Istanbul after Jermaine Jones's away goal cancelled out Galatasaray striker Burak Yilmaz's early opener.

The two sides meet in the second leg of the tie on 12 March in Gelsenkirchen.

Drogba won the Champions League with Chelsea last season and was also a member of the Ivory Coast team which lost to eventual champions Nigeria in the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations.

BACKGROUND
Murray is a self-employed costume and props designer and maker who lives in England. In July 1992, the BBC engaged Murray to produce a costume for a character named Mr. Blobby, who was scheduled to appear on the BBC television show "Noel's House Party." (Declaration of Dominic Murray dated November 14, 1994, ¶ 2) [hereinafter "Murray 11/94"]
The parties disagree on the process by which the Mr. Blobby costume was designed and constructed. According to Murray, he provided the bulk of the creative input. After he accepted the commission, he and Venetia Ercolani, a BBC costume designer, met to discuss the costume. Ercolani told Murray that the producer of Noel's House Party wanted a "silly-looking23.) "Almost all of the suggestions," Murray claims, were made by him. (Id. ¶ 25.)
After Murray "had already made the bulk of' the costume's body, Ercolani sent him a sketch showing "very little detail." The sketch "became the subject of jokes and mirth" in Murray's studio because it was so "unsuitable." Eventually, one of Murray's assistants used it for scrap paper, took it home and disposed of it. (Id. ¶¶ 32-34.)
According to Ercolani, Murray did not design the costume, but merely constructed it to the BBC's specifications, which were formulated before Murray was commissioned. Guy Freeman, the production manager for "Noel's House Party," asked Ercolani to design and construct a costume for Mr. Blobby. Freeman told her that Mr. Blobby would wear a "pear shaped costume with psychedelic


choice of forum is entitled to less deference than that of a domestic plaintiff. Piper Aircraft, 454 U.S. at 256, 102 S.Ct. at 266. Murray argues that his choice is entitled to the deference accorded the choice of a domestic plaintiff because the Berne Convention, a copyright treaty to which both the United Kingdom and United States are parties, alters the forum non conveniens inquiry in copyright cases. He contends that the cases relied upon by defendants, which were decided before the United States acceded to the Berne Convention in 1989, ignore the principle of national treatment embodied in the Berne Convention.[2]
Murray argues, relying on Irish National Insurance Co. v. Aer Lingus Teoranta, 739 F.2d 90 (2nd Cir.1984), that the principle of national treatment increases the deference duein England. They argue that transporting the evidence from England to the United States would be difficult and expensive and that it would be impossible to compel production of evidence under the control of third parties located in England if the case is tried in the United States.
With the exception of the original Mr. Blobby costume, which is in New York, (see Murray 11/94, ¶ 12(a)), all of the physical and documentary evidence is in England. It would not be overly burdensome for the defendants to transport that evidence, which consists of a modest number of documents, notebooks, drawings, costumes, and props, to the United States. However, defendants might be unable to compel third parties located in England to produce documents specifically, telephone records and documents evidencing Murray's


during the design process, testimony describing those sketches is critical to establishing the relative creative contributions of Murray and the BBC staff.
On the basis of the affidavits submitted by Murray and defendants, it appears that defendants may have several defenses which appear unimpaired by Murray's not assigning the copyright in writing. The witnesses whose testimony is relevant to those defenses all reside in England, where the non-party witnesses are not subject to a American court's subpoena power. Murray has pointed to only a few American witnesses, who will testify regarding U.S. infringement and possibly damages, whose testimony he would be unable to compel in England.
In addition, the cost to defendants of bringing all of their witnesses to the United States, and the inconvenience to defendants and the witnesses,of at least £100,000-150,000. (Id. ¶ 10.) He reports total pre-tax personal income, after business expenses, of £46,066 for the year ended October 31, 1992, and £57,515 for the year ended October 31, 1993. He estimates his 1994 pre-tax income at about £45,000. (Id. ¶ 5.) He owns an apartment in London valued at £110,000, which secures total mortgage indebtedness of £100,885 (id. ¶ 6.) and an automobile on which he must make payments for one more year. (Id. ¶ 7.)
The information Murray has provided suggests that although he does not have liquid assets sufficient to cover the expenses he expects to incur litigating in England, he is not of such limited means that the English prohibition on contingent-fee arrangements would prevent him from pursuing his claim. He


citizens of England and because the events giving rise to the litigationwith the exception of the incipient infringement in the United Statesoccurred in England. Defendants also contend that considerations of comity dictate that a citizen of England should not be allowed to haul the BBC, a taxpayer-funded entity, into court in the United States.
Murray argues that the United States has two interests in the litigation: an interest in enforcing its laws and an interest in preventing the inefficiency which would result from dismissal of this case. According to Murray, if Lionheart licenses Mr. Blobby in the United States, each licensee will be an infringer of Murray's copyright. If this case is dismissed, Murray will be forced to bring suit in the United States against each licensee, giving riseto duplicative litigation.
The United States and England do have an interest in ensuring compliance with their laws. See London Film Productions, 580 F.Supp. at 49. However, those interests are somewhat weakened by the fact that whether an English or American court hears the case, it will apply the law of the country of the alleged infringement.
The citizenship of the parties gives England a greater interest in the litigation. Both Murray and the BBC are citizens of England, and Lionheart, while incorporated in Delaware, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the BBC. Thus, the dispute is essentially one between two English citizens. The BBC's status as a taxpayer-funded entity also provides England with a strong interest in the outcome of the case. Moreover, an injunction issued by an English court


The insider - Paul Routledge names the nudist at the Guardian

New Labour's tedious refrain that "no decision" has been made on war is almost daily and comprehensively given the lie - by the Ministry of Defence. While Geoff Poltroon, the Defence Secretary, was skiing with his children (there goes that cynical use of kids again) in the Alps, his senior officials were briefing news managers of television and radio stations and the newspapers, about who could go where and with whom when the order to attack Iraq is given. Naturally, the media most supportive of Field Marshal Blair will get the best opportunities, but nobody came away from the MoD briefings confident that the Americans will allow British journalists anywhere near the real action.

Belatedly, but factually, I hearthat George Dubbya phoned the Great Helmsman on the eve of his State of the Union address. "I'm gonna say: 'Let's nuke Saddam!'" he confided. Blair choked down the phone, until Bush roared with laughter at the joke. At least, I think it was a joke.

Labour MPs find it hard to see the funny side. They were all paged at lunchtime on 21 February with instructions to be in the Chamber on Wednesday 26th for a three-line whip on a motion on Iraq that said . . . well, they were not told what it would say. Just turn up, shut up and vote.

The kitchen must be getting hot. Christopher Leslie, the ambitious former photocopier for Gordon Brown's staff who now knocks down £82,624 a year as a


parliamentary under-secretary in the Deputy Prime Minister's Office, is refusing to go on radio chat shows. On receiving a request the other day, he bleated: "No! Please, no! Aren't we in enough trouble already?" Good to know that the subalterns are in such strong spirit as war approaches.

Bernard Jenkin, the whingeing nudist shadow defence secretary, had better smarten up his act. Conservative Central Office laid on a briefing where he was star billing to address prospective Tory candidates. They were told to be on parade at 7pm sharp, as his time is precious. They waited and waited, and Captain Jenkin turned up three-quarters of an hour late. It could have been worse. He might have invited them all to go skinny-dipping, as he did with lobby correspondents ona memorable trip. Only one hack, Nicholas Watt of the Guardian, joined him in the nude. The rest of the prudish parliamentary pack kept their swimmers firmly on.

For the second time, it looks as though the cruise missiles will begin raining down on America's enemy just as the Tories begin their spring conference. Last time, Cap'n Jenkin had to turn back from Blackpool when the carpet bombing of Afghanistan began. This year, the Tories gather in Harrogate on 14 March, the most likely starting date for war against Iraq. "The conference will go ahead," he assures me. "But we may have to change the agenda." Hoot if that amuses you.

SAN DIEGO — Game of Thrones fans haven't seen the last of the Martells.

Relatives of the late Oberyn Martell (Pedro Pascal), who was killed late last season, are among nine new arrivals to Westeros and its surroundings for next year's Season 5 of HBO's top-rated series. The cast additions, replenishing the ranks after last season's bloodbaths, were revealed during a Thrones session Friday at Comic-Con International: San Diego.

New cast members and their characters, as described by HBO, include:

• Alexander Siddig as Doran Martell, the ruling lord of Dorne, which is located in the southern part of Westeros, and the older brother of Prince Oberyn. Unlike his brother, Doran is even-tempered and deliberate, and Dorne residents will want to see how he reacts to his brother's death.

• Toby Sebastianas Trystane Martell, Prince Doran's son and heir to Dorne. He was betrothed to Myrcella Baratheon as part of the alliance offered by Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance), who was killed by his son, Tyrion (Peter Dinklage), in the season finale.

• Nell Tiger Free as Myrcella Baratheon. She is officially the eldest child of Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) and the late King Robert Baratheon, but her real father is Cersei's brother, Jaime Lannister (NIkolaj Coster-Waldau). For years, she has been a guest and ward of Prince Doran in Dorne, but her position has become tenuous with the death of Oberyn Martell, the Prince's brother.

• DeObia Oparei as Areo Hotah, the long-serving captain of Doran Martell's palace guard. He is renowned for his loyalty and his long axe.

• Jessica Henwick


as Nymeria ("Nym") Sand, who is the second eldest of Oberyn's bastard daughters. Her mother was an Eastern noblewoman who brought Nym up to be cultured, graceful and deadly with a whip.

• Rosabell Laurenti Sellers as Tyene Sand, who is the daughter of the late Oberyn Martell by Ellaria Sand, his final paramour. Tyene is fiercer than she looks, especially with her twin daggers.

• Keisha Castle-Hughes as Obara Sand, who is a fearsome warrior and the eldest bastard daughter of Oberyn Martell. Her mother was a Dornish peasant girl who caught the eye of the late Prince.

• And Jonathan Pryce as the High Sparrow, a devout and pious man who came to King's Landing to serve those forgotten by much of the world — the poor, the downtroddenMichele Bear

Caithness was a county constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of Great Britain from 1708 to 1801 and of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1801 to 1918.

Creation
The British parliamentary constituency was created in 1708 following the Acts of Union, 1707 and replaced the former Parliament of Scotland shire constituency of Caithness-shire.

History
From 1708 to 1832 Caithness and Buteshire were paired as alternating constituencies: one of the constituencies elected a Member of Parliament (MP) to one parliament, the other to the next. The areas which were covered by the two constituencies are quite remote from each other, Caithness in the northeast of Scotland and Buteshire in the southwest.

From 1832 to 1918 Caithness was represented continuously by its own MP.

believed to suffer from schizophrenia.

Nevertheless, the state's Department of Corrections said they moved Davis to its Cummins Unit, where the state's death chamber is housed, over the past few days. Davis had filed his own legal challenges about his mental competencies — his lawyer said Davis has an IQ of 70 — but a federal judge rejected his stay request on Easter Sunday.

The pressure is on as one key drug for the state’s lethal injection protocol — the controversial sedative midazolam, which has failed in past executions and caused inmates to suffer before dying — is set to expire at the end of the month. The state has no means of replacing the drug in the foreseeable future, essentially stalling executions for an unknown period of time.

Gov. Asadisputed the charge in testimony on Thursday.

But it was the judge in the pharmaceutical company's case who developed intrigue Friday evening. Soon after Griffen scheduled a hearing for Tuesday morning, he joined a protest of the executions outside the governor's mansion. To depict the inmate's experience on the Arkansas death house gurney, he strapped himself to a cot on the sidewalk outside Hutchinson's home.

PM Modi and Amit Shah met on Wednesday evening for a three-hour session.

Highlights Changes likely in ministries of home, finance, defence, foreign affairs

Changes may be made to accommodate BJP allies in the new cabinet

Nitish Kumar has asked for 2 cabinet berths for his party: sources

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's second oath ceremony on Thursday - after his massive victory in the national elections - was preceded by a flurry of meetings at his house and that of party chief Amit Shah on Wednesday evening. Along with the Prime Minister, his council of ministers will also take oath at a dazzling ceremony at the Rashtrapati Bhawan that will be attended by world leaders, celebrities and politicians.

While the number and names of the leaders who would take oath as ministers inthe second stint of the NDA government have been kept under wraps, there is much speculation about the composition of the cabinet.

PM Modi and Amit Shah - who had a five-hour meeting on Tuesday - met again on Wednesday evening for a three-hour session. While no details were available, the meetings are understood to be part of the process of finalising the government portfolios.

While the Prime Minister met Home Minister Rajnath Singh and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Narendra Singh Tomar, party chief Amit Shah met Arjun Ram Meghwal, who was the junior minister for Parliamentary Affairs, and Ram Lal, the BJP's General Secretary of Organisation. Principal Secretary to PM Modi, Nripendra Mishra and Additional Secretary PK Mishra also attended the sessions at Amit Shah's residence.

The Prime Minister also visited


senior leader Arun Jaitley, who wrote to him earlier on Wednesday, saying he could not be part of the new government for now as he is under doctors' orders to take care of his health.

Mr Jaitley - who has been ailing for a while - had handled the finance portfolio and the Prime Minister is expected to ask him to reconsider his decision.

There might be some changes in the key ministries of home, finance, defence and external affairs. But sources indicated no major change is likely in the line-up after that and most ministers may stay on.

Some changes, though, are likely to be made to accommodate allies like Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal United and the Akali Dal and also to ensure representation of Bengal, Odisha and the northeast- new zones that have embraced the party.

Sources indicated that Nitish Kumar, the Bihar ally who acted as catalyst in the BJP's massive victory in the state, has asked for two cabinet berths.

There has been speculation about Amit Shah joining the cabinet but many in the BJP say it cannot afford to lose his organizational skills at a time the party needs to win crucial state elections ahead and raise its numbers in the Rajya Sabha.

Sources have told NDTV that PM Modi is expected to call ministers-designate on Thursday for morning tea at this residence.

"Somebody needs the consistency to get the last spot but I think it's a case of watch this space."

Hull and Burnley are both looking to bounce back to the Premier League at the first time of asking after suffering relegation last year and Holloway, who won promotion with Crystal Palace in 2013, believes extra nous could prove crucial in the run-in.

"The teams with the advantage are the ones who have done it before," he told Sky Sports.

"Brighton have a manager who has won the league, Ipswich's Mick McCarthy has won it twice while Burnley and Hull have done it recently.

"It really does help when you know what it takes in these last few months, where you need consistency and team spirit


more than anything. You need to pull it out of the fire, when you are losing you have to get out of it together."

Most of the sides in the promotion mix took the opportunity in January to strengthen their squads, with Boro splashing the most cash with the £9m capture of Jordan Rhodes.

It was a free transfer which caught Holloway's eye though, who believes Lloyd Dyer's switch from Watford to Burnley could prove to be a stroke of genius by Sean Dyche.

"Dyer is a fantastic signing, it might even guarantee them promotion," he said.

"He is so enthusiastic. He is quick and works so hard. He's a typical Burnley player who will work his socks off, do what the team needs and never give up."4/15/2019 NU by Alexander Ekman

A Tommy Robinson supporter has admitted to verbally abusing a journalist at a protest and accusing her of being "Muslim-backed".

William Eve, a restaurant owner from north-east London, was caught on camera insulting a female reporter and demanding to know whether she was “with or against” the English Defence League (EDL) founder.

Westminster Magistrates' Court heard the 57-year-old shouted at Al Jazeera’s Sonia Gallego during a “Free Tommy” protest that merged with a pro-Donald Trump rally in July.

Prosecutor Robert Simpson said: “The complainant is someone who is a reporter for Al Jazeera. She was conducting interviews and recording them.

“She was approached by the defendant, asked who she was, he found out and made the comment 'so you're Muslim-backed'. He went on to say she was stupid and call her acount alleging that the harassment was religiously aggravated and is due to go on trial next month.

Deputy district judge Jim Astle released Eve on bail until his trial at City of London Magistrates' Court on 21 February.

Eve made no comment as he left the court, with a hat pulled over his face.

The deployment is the latest sign that the U.S. Navy is gradually upping its game in the Pacific, which during the past decade has seen rising tension over expansive Chinese maritime claims decried by the international community but enforced by China’s Navy, Coast Guard and maritime militias.

The U.S. Navy has made a dedicated push to improve the ranges of its systems, from its missiles and sensors, to its air wing with the development of the MQ-25 Stingray unmanned aerial refueling drone and new conformal fuel tanks for the F/A-18 Super Hornets that increase the speed and range of the service’s mainstay aircraft.

Category:University of ArizonaBrian W. Aldiss is a British author, primarily of Science Fiction, although he's also written general fiction, and some non-fiction. His early works, from The Fifties, generally had a more literary bent than the typical SF of that era, and in the The Sixties, he joined the New Wave Science Fiction movement, which promoted more experimental and literary forms of SF. His experimental novel, Barefoot in the Head, is a fairly extreme example. He went on to write a wide variety of SF. His best-known work is probably the Helliconia series.

His short-story, "Super-Toys Last All Summer Long" was the basis for the movie A.I.: Artificial Intelligence. He's also had a couple of other works adapted for film, including Frankenstein Unbound, which was filmed by Roger Corman.

He also coined


the term "Cosy Catastrophe", which has gone on to achieve trope status.

Art Major Biology: Hothouse has giant insects, man-eating plants, people growing wings after being mutated by space radiation, the entire planet being covered by a single banyan tree, and giant plant-spider hybrids that use their webs to connect the Earth to the Moon. The publisher even admitted that he knew it was ridiculously unrealistic, but still published it because it was awesome. Which turned out to be good move, because it ended up winning a Hugo award.

Death World: Hothouse (AKA The Lord Afternoon of Earth) involves a distant future, where Earth has become tidally locked with the Sun (which has also expanded), so that one side constantly faces the scorching heat, while the other remains in perpetualrace of baboon-descended people called Sharp-furs living there. Oh, and Earth is destroyed by giant solar flares at the end with life beaming itself to faraway stars.

Department of Redundancy Department: Report on Probability A appears to be based almost exclusively on this trope, to the point of unreadability. The description in Wikipedia says: "The bulk of the book is the Report, describing in minute, obsessive and often repetitive detail, three characters G, S, and C as they secretly watch a house, each from a separate outbuilding with peripheral views of the house's windows, catching occasional glimpses of its occupant, Mrs Mary. As the Report is being read by a character called "Domoladossa'", he is secretly being observed from other universes, and these observers in their turn are being

Gladiator Games: In the short story "In The Arena": human captives of the redul are forced to fight alien monsters in an arena. The male protagonist is paired with a female fighter in a "double double": the two of them against a pair of deadly yillibeeth, with each pair being chained together.

Gossipy Hens: In Non-Stop, Roy encounters a group of Gossipy Hens in Quarters. The fragmented bits of sniping he overhears are part of a breakthrough he has regarding the inward-turned and purposeless nature of his community and his need to go on his Hero's Journey.

Humanity's Wake: In the short story "But Who Can Replace A Man?" The robots are overjoyed that humanity is wiped out and they are nowfree, but they end up nuking each other and in the end they come across one surviving human, whom their programming compels them to obey.

Magic Pants: In one short story, a werewolf's transformation is described as a change in his "biomorphic field." This can include clothes as long as they are natural fibres, which will be absorbed into the wolf form and returned to their previous form with the rest of him. Artificial fibres would just be shredded.

Mind Screw: Barefoot in the Head: The whole book is a massive, psychedelic mindscrew.

One Scene, Two Monologues: The narrator of the story "Appearance of Life" finds two holographic messages which turn out to be from a husband and wife. When he turns them on they appear to be conversing with each


other, but it soon becomes clear that the wife's message is an expression of her undying love for her husband, while the husband's is a confession of his infidelity.

The public health expert who chaired the government panel recommending the new laws, Professor Mike Daube, told Media Watch the Australian's front-page story is rubbish:

Every bit of the report is dodgy, from the way it was set up, to what's in it, to the lack of analysis. — Mike Daube, Professor of Health Policy, Curtin University, 6th June, 2014

Well-known economist, Stephen Koukoulas, writing in his blog , The Kouk, was equally scathing about the Australian's scoop.

Fortunately, the story is wrong. — The Kouk, 6th June, 2014

Kerr linked growing concern about the nanny state to the new plain packaging laws for cigarettes.

And just to make his own views clear, he added:

Nanny Statism may give its enthusiasts a sense of moral superiority and general worthiness. But everyone else finds it simply offensive. — IPA Review, August, 2012

A Worthington man will spend five years in prison for viewing and downloading child pornography. Jason C. Grossman, 31, responded to a message posted by an undercover officer posing as the father of an 11-year-old girl and a 9-year-old boy, according to documents filed in federal court.

Allison Manning, The Columbus Dispatch

A Worthington man will spend five years in prison for viewing and downloading child pornography.

Jason C. Grossman, 31, responded to a message posted by an undercover officer posing as the father of an 11-year-old girl and a 9-year-old boy, according to documents filed in federal court.

Grossman expressed interest in having sex with the girl, and a meeting was set up for Jan. 9, 2013, in


a Columbus parking lot. When questioned by officers working for the Franklin County Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, Grossman admitted to having child pornography on his computer, the documents say.

Investigators seized two computers, two hard drives, a bag of Sour Patch Kids candy and two unopened condoms, records show.

Grossman pleaded guilty in August to one count of receiving child pornography. On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Gregory L. Frost sentenced him to five years in prison, the mandatory minimum for the crime.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Heather Hill recommended that he receive sex-offender treatment while in prison.

Frost also sentenced him to five years of court supervision after he gets out of prison; during that time, he must register as a sex offender. He also was ordered to pay $1,500 inrestitution to one victim pictured in a series of photos found on his computer.

When he was charged, Grossman lived at 1451 Park Club Dr. in Westerville. In a December court filing, his attorney said he had moved to a Worthington apartment.

Grossman has a license to practice law in Ohio but never worked as an attorney, according to the sentencing memorandum filed in court. His license is suspended.

Cpl. Jeff Zech, supervisor of the Franklin County Internet Crimes Against Children task force, said the Grossman case was a typical “traveler” investigation, in which a suspect will travel to meet a child for sex.

He said undercover officers often will use the lure of a child to catch abusers.

Military Science/ArmyPuneri Paltan pulled off an impressive victory in the first match of Pro Kabaddi League 2019 (PKL) at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday, beating defending champions Bengaluru Bulls 31-23. In the second match, Jaipur Pink Panthers edged Tamil Thalaivas 28-26 in a closely-contested encounter. Only 16 points separated the top and the bottom teams in the points table going into the match, and Pune's victory, thanks to an incredible performance from their defence, showed how close the competition is, in what is turning out to be a very competitive season.

A heavily-bandaged Surjeet Singh in the centre was the leader (six tackle points) in the defensive unit for Puneri Paltan, giving no room for the league's best raider, Pawan Sehrawat, to weave his magic.

Sagar Krishna


came in for the struggling Girish Ernak as coach Anup Kumar made the changes to a faltering Pune side while the Bengaluru Bulls went in with an extra defender in the line-up buoyed by the performances of their two raiders in Sehrawat and Rohit Kumar.

It was Paltan who had an impressive start, consistently tackling Bengaluru Bulls' raiders, with Krishna justifying his inclusion with an incredible body block on Rohit Kumar six minutes into the match. The defensive units matched each other tackle for tackle, as the raiders, including Pune's Nitin Tomar struggled to impress.

A low-scoring, heavy tackling, first half, which also saw Sehrawat reach 100 points for the season, ended with scores even at 10-10.

Bengaluru's decision to play just two raiders back-fired as Paltan's improved defence thwarted anyraider who ventured into their territory. Pune, coached by Anup Kumar, also ensured Rohit Kumar and Sehrawat did not get their bonus points easily.

The team inflicted the game's only All-Out on Bengaluru Bulls in the sixth minute of the second half to open up an eight-point gap. Manjeet's clever raids in Do-Or-Die situations were also vital for Pune as they raced to a two-digit lead.

The defence held firm, as Surjeet Singh completed a personal milestone of 250 points in Pro Kabaddi League, and secured a very important victory that Pune up to 10th in the league standings.

Bengaluru's loss meant they lost out on an opportunity to go on top of the table.


during the reign of Henry VIII, and gave to the Lord Chancellor of England and other members of the Privy Council the power to summon for examination persons indebted to, or holding property owned by, the bankrupt. See 34 and 35 Hen. VIII, ch. 4 (1542-43), quoted in 1 H. Remington, A Treatise on the Bankruptcy Law of the United States 9-10 (2d ed. 1915). That first statute was "concerned wholly with fraudulent debtors, not at all with those who are simply unfortunate," Remington, supra, at 8, and was quasi-criminal in nature. The purpose of the examination of witnesses was to uncover all of the assets of the bankrupt for distribution to creditors. Unfortunately, historical research to date does not seem to have revealed whether the examination *775of witnesses was or was not conducted in public; there is, however, no indication that the general openness of criminal and civil proceedings in English legal practice was dispensed with in connection with bankruptcy matters.
It was not until 1869 that the debtor became subject in England to examination. Under the 1869 statute, the bankrupt was required to "produce a statement of his affairs to the first meeting of creditors, and submit to be publicly examined thereon on a day to be named by the court, and at such adjourned public examination as the court may direct." G. Robson, A Treatise of the Law of Bankruptcy 447 (1870). The 1869 law also called for the examination of the bankrupt to be conducted in open court, not in chambers. Id.


debtor and his affairs." I. Fletcher, Laws of Bankruptcy, 111 (1978). It is to be noted, however, that in Great Britain the practice of public examination of the bankrupt developed separately from the procedure concerning creditors' meetings. The former was always open to the public; the historical record available to us is largely silent regarding public access to the latter. (footnote omitted)
The American colonies apparently never had any laws that could technically be called bankruptcy laws. Pennsylvania, however, had passed "an act for the Regulation of Bankruptcies" in 1785. In addition, Pennsylvania, like most of the other states, had insolvency laws. These laws were not uniform; nor did they furnish adequate coverage. . . . It was inevitable that Congress would be called upon to exercise its legislativepower over the subject of bankruptcies.
1 Collier on Bankruptcy ¶ 0.03 (14th ed. 1974). American federal bankruptcy law was first established by the Bankruptcy Act of 1800, and was reestablished and developed by the Acts of 1841, 1867, 1898, 1935 and 1978. Section 18 of the Act of 1800 required the bankrupt to appear and to be examined by a commissioner appointed by the district court to oversee the bankrupt's assets. Section 52 of the Act permitted "any creditor" to attend the court examinations of the bankrupt and to participate in the proceedings. (footnotes omitted).
The Act of 1841 provided for examination of the bankrupt "in and before [the court], or any commission appointed by the court therefor." The Act also stated that after a hearing had been scheduled

Since 1800, our federal bankruptcy proceedings have always been conducted under the aegis of a federal court. Also, the bankruptcy statutes have required that records of such proceedings be filed with the clerk of the district court. Current Bankruptcy Rule 2003 requires the electronic taping of testimony at creditors' meetings and provides that such tapes are part of the public record and are available for transcription upon order of a member of the public. The trustee's memorandum regarding the creditors' meeting is also filed in the court records and is available for public review. Thus, a member of the public, including a representative of the press, may have access to the transcript *778 and records of a creditors' meeting.

The Edmonton Eskimos have signed international running back Nic Grigsby and extended the contract of national safety Cauchy Muamba.

A two year CFL veteran, Grigsby signed with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 2014. In his CFL debut, the five-foot-11, 195-pound running back recorded 122 yards on 21 carries. He went on to amass 162 carries for 744 yards and eight touchdowns, as well as 55 receptions for 444 yards and one touchdown in 14 games before his release.

The following week, he signed with Hamilton where he would add another 30 carries for 146 yards and three catches for 29 yards with the Tiger-Cats that season.

During the 102nd Grey Cup game, he recorded 115 yards on 28 carries and two touchdowns. He also recorded one catch for 22 yards.

Prior tothe CFL, Grigsby signed as an undrafted free agent with the NFL's Miami Dolphins. He also spent time with the Oakland Raiders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

In four seasons (2007-10) at the University of Arizona, he recorded 572 carries for 2,957 yards and 28 touchdowns, and 85 receptions for 508 yards and three touchdowns in 45 games.

Muamba recorded 25 defensive tackles, two quarterback sacks and three interceptions this season.

Since signing with Edmonton as a free agent on Aug. 21, 2014, Muamba recorded 31 defensive tackles, two quarterback sacks and four interceptions in 23 games.

Originally selected by the BC Lions in the fifth round of the 2010 CFL Draft, the native of Kinshasa, Congo amassed 124 defensive tackles, 23 special teams tackles, three quarterback sacks and nine interceptions.

There's no word on what specifically Nintendo is building with these Joy-Cons in mind, but both Koizumi and Takahashi have solid track records designing, writing and animating some of the company's most influential games.

Koizumi has been with Nintendo since 1991: He's helped lead the story and design of Zelda games as far back as A Link to the Past. He designed the manual and wrote the story of Link's Awakening; he's the reason Z-targeting exists in Ocarina of Time (and just about every other 3D action game since), and he played a huge role in conceptualizing the three-day time loop of Majora's Mask. Koizumi also helped direct and produce Super Mario 64,


Super Mario Galaxy and, most recently, Super Mario Odyssey. He's currently general producer of the Nintendo Switch.

Takahashi has an even longer tenure at Nintendo, starting as a designer in 1989 and eventually directing the N64 game Wave Race 64. He brought motion capture to Nintendo in the mid-90s for Ocarina of Time, years before other studios started dabbling with in-house mocap. Today, Takahashi is in charge of a lot at Nintendo as general manager of the company's Entertainment Planning and Development Division.

Both Takahashi and Koizumi have adapted to new technologies over the decades, and this hasn't stopped with the Switch. They're now tailoring their design processes to the console's dual controllers and its portable nature.

Horace Mann Our Only Political Safety

“Education is our only political safety. Outside of this ark all is deluge.”–Horace Mann

Horace Mann (May 4, 1796–August 2, 1859) was an American politician and educational reformer. A Whig devoted to promoting speedy modernization, he served in the Massachusetts State legislature (1827–37). In 1848, after serving as Secretary of the Massachusetts State Board of Education since its creation, he was elected to the United States House of Representatives. Historian Ellwood P. Cubberley asserts:

as corporations or partnerships can exceed those limits. Relatives and partners who don't live or work on a farm can collect payments as long as they help make management decisions such as what to plant, said Scott Faber, senior vice president for government affairs for the environmental organization.

The organization also found that thousands of farm trade aid recipients live in the nation's largest cities.

"When Market Facilitation Program payments continue to overwhelmingly flow to an elite group of the largest farms, wealthy landowners and city residents with no real connection to the day-to-day operations on the land, it's clear the program is deeply flawed and not delivering aid to those farmers in desperate need," said Donald Carr, a senior adviser to the group.

Last Order, on the other hand, was released in Japan in a special DVD bundle package with Advent Children.

Sakaguchi, however, would request pieces to fit specific game scenes including battles and exploring different areas of the game world. Once a game's major scenarios were completed, Uematsu would begin writing the music based on the story, characters, and accompanying artwork. He started with a game's main theme, and developed other pieces to match its style. In creating character themes, Uematsu read the game's scenario to determine the characters' personality. He would also ask the scenario writer for more details to scenes he was unsure about.

Winery Note:

The Chalmers family’s commitment to innovation and excellence has made them a pivotal force in the Australian wine scene for almost 30 years.

Their work in the field of alternative, particularly southern Italian varietals - in both the vineyard and marketplace - has been a substantial contribution to the growth and success of this movement in recent years.

Improving Australian vine material stocks is an ongoing passion for the family, with a new shipment of previously unavailable Italian vine selections including Falanghina, Pecorino and Ribolla Gialla having been received at the vineyards in 2015.

The Chalmers range of Italian variety wines, which includes Vermentino, Fiano, Rosato, Nero d’Avola, Aglianico and Sagrantino, is made with sustainability, diversity, authenticity and quality at the core of it’s philosophy.

from a balcony and silently screaming like a feral, pouncing cat–presumably the same one he skinned for those pajamas he’s wearing under his khaki trenchcoat.

The list of highlights just goes on from there. The way he nonchalantly enters the frame behind Jagger, doing some kind of “walk like an Egyptian” move with his hands. The middle school talent show-grade choreography in which his legs suddenly emerge kicking into the frame from an open door in the foreground, followed by his whole body as he pops in and out to sing his lines. That inexplicable shot (see below) where he appears behind Jagger with his back to the wall, twirling his fingers roughly in time with the music before busting out the jazz hands and spinning around to jointhat pulled it all together. It was my mom who gleefully encouraged me to pick up Sheila’s debut The Glamorous Life on CD on a 1997 visit to Rochester,New York. She has never been someone too emphatic about recommending music. But on this one,she was very insistent. Hearing the song had me interesting in hearing as much Sheila E as existed at the time. And luckily within the next 6-7 years,I had all her output up to that point.

In the immediate post Purple Rain period,Prince began pursuing a far jazzier style of music. He began augmenting the Revolution with horns-starting with sax player Eric Leeds. And the music he was producing for (and with) his proteges was really starting to reflect this. The songs continued to stretch out


in length too. One such song was one Prince had recorded in August 1985. And it was actually done in very close collaboration with Sheila as well. It was the final track on the first side to her 1985 LP Romance 1600. It was called “A Love Bizarre”.

Prince’s classin LINN LM-1 with the flanger filter effect starts out as the main rhythm for the entire song. Than his round,popping synth bass comes in just before Sheila’s percussion. Eric Leeds’ presence on the song takes two forms. First there’s him playing the main vocal chorus of the song pretty much by rote. Than he continues with a jazzy improvisation throughout the rest of the song. Matt Bliston joins him of a very Sly & The Family Stone pitch dipZeppelin to the Time’s Yardbirds. With the majority of the band now fired or resigned, Prince retained drummer Jellybean Johnson and dancer/comedic foil Jerome Benton, promoting “St. Paul” Peterson, who had joined the group less than a year earlier on keyboards, to the role of co-lead singer. The other frontperson was none other than the twin sister of Revolution guitarist Wendy (and Prince’s then-fiancée), Susannah Melvoin. Finally, the lineup was rounded out with saxophonist Eric Leeds, with additional support by Sheila E.’s guitarist Miko Weaver.

Arguably the real star of the Family, however, was never actually part of the group–and, in fact, never even shared the same room with them. Prince had long been a fan of jazz keyboardist, composer, and arranger Clare Fischer: specifically, his more pop-oriented work


And as always, you can see more of my writing on Prince at dance / music / sex / romance, and more of my writing in general at Dystopian Dance Party.

Prince was recording a lot of music during 1983 and early 1984 in preparation for his feature film debut that was Purple Rain. This included his own recordings with his band the Revolution. But it also included songs intended for the debuts of Sheila E and a second Vanity 6 album that grew into sessions for what became the Apollonia 6. Not to mention a huge cluster of B-sides. There were also many additional songs recorded during this period,some of which are still unreleased to this very day. And which add to the mythos about Prince’s legendary vaultof unreleased music.

One of the first things I learned about Prince when really getting into his music was about his lifelong fascination with the career of Joni Mitchell. Having achieved fame in the early 70’s as a singer/songwriter,she left that behind to pursue a jazzier style of music. Prince was aware that his highly electronic new wave funk/rock based Minneapolis Sound was really catching on. But he himself wanted to diversify his own approach. One such song for his 1985 album Around The World In A Day was recorded during the Purple Rain sessions in early 1984. It was called “Pop Life”.

Born Sheila Escovedo, she has an impressive musical pedigree all her own: the daughter of Mexican American percussionist Pete Escovedo and the goddaughter of Latin jazz pioneer Tito Puente, her professional recording career actually predates the Purple One’s; she made her debut on Yesterday’s Dreams by former Weather Report bassist Alphonso Johnson in 1976, two years before the release of Prince’s For You. Prince was, however, responsible for introducing her to a pop audience during his mid-1980s “purple reign”; the pair were also briefly engaged, which places Sheila in Prince’s long, dubious tradition of falling for his muses, only to discard them once the next one came along. Still, theirs was much more arelationship between equals than was typical for Prince, either romantically or professionally; their mutual respect was evident in their renewed collaborations over the years, with Sheila frequently joining Prince for guest appearances and touring stints well into the 2010s.

While these distinctions are important, however, in many ways Sheila’s 1984 debut The Glamorous Life is a bog-standard Prince protegé album. Though his lead artist was a world-class percussionist in her own right, Prince still micro-managed the production almost as much as he had the Time and Vanity 6; his guitar and guide vocals are more prominent on the instrumental “Shortberry Strawcake,” for example, than Sheila’s drums. Still, he does at least give her some props: production on the album is credited to Sheila as well as the usual purple


her drumming and, er, rapping on the live cut turned album track “It’s Gonna Be a Beautiful Night”). After the Revolution split up later that year, she joined Prince’s band full time, supporting him for the Sign “O” the Times and Lovesexyalbums and tours, as well as the aforementioned Madhouse project.

Sheila’s final, self-titled 1987 album on Paisley Park is also probably her most underrated. Produced by Prince and Sheila with David Z., much of it is firmly in the stylistic territory of Sign “O” the Times, with extensive contributions by members of Prince’s touring band at the time: including guitarist Levi Seacer, Jr., singer/keyboardist Boni Boyer, saxophonist Eric Leeds, and trumpeter Atlanta Bliss. Granted, parts of it are also a transparent bid for the adult contemporary charts, withirony is lost that D’Angelo is an artist often mentioned in terms of carrying on Prince’s musical legacy now that Mr.Nelson is no longer with us. Johnson has also had a sporadic solo career over the years as well. Yet there was also his first group after leaving The Time who were vital to him getting his own groove on.

The Rock Island,Illinois native began playing guitar at 15. After moving to Minneapolis,he became a member of Morris Day’s first group Enterprise before becoming the lead guitarist in The Time. Seemingly frustrated over Prince’s lack of interest about his creative input in the group,Johnson left The Time after 1984. He signed to A&M as a solo artist. And took second tier Time members Mark Cardenas and bassist Gerry Hubbard

The first signs of EAE were seen 4 days later than in the control group and the average clinical scores were significantly lower. Blocking the IL-23R receptor by a monoclonal antibody also significantly reduced the Th17 cell accumulation in the brain. This observation supports the concept that a blockade of this receptor has a direct influence on the differentiation of Th17 cells.

The chemokine receptor CCR6 plays an essential role in the initiation of EAE by controlling the migration of the first wave of autoreactive Th17 cells into the normal CNS. The entry of CCR6+ T cells into the CNS most likely occurs through the blood-cerebrospinal fluid

FishFlix.com and My Son, My Savior DVD TOS Crew Review

Read to the end for a terrific giveaway from FishFlix.com!

FishFlix.com sent out a selection of Christian movies to The Schoolhouse Review Crew a few weeks ago. We were able to watch a film called My Son, My Savior in exchange for an honest review. FishFlix.com is an online Christian and family movie store. You'll find a variety of documentaries, children's cartoons, holiday movies, educational and apologetics films, and the latest releases on DVD and blu-ray in their store.

FishFlix.com was started by Dr. Enis Sakirgil who wanted to teach Christians in the west about the Biblical history so abundant in his home country of Turkey. He was involved in the making of a film ApostlePaul and the Early Churches which he sold online. Eventually, he sold other Christian movies online as well. FishFlix.com is based in Minnesota.

My Son, My Savior is a 42 minute film based on Jesus' life. It's basically described as the Gospel from His mother Mary's point of view. The acting and production are OK. The movie is just like many other similar movies and *if you already own a movie of the entire Gospel,* I recommend you put your money into one of FishFlix.com's many other quality DVDs. Bruce Marchiano has appeared in many Christian films, often as Jesus, whom he portrays here as well. I really expected a lot more of the film to be based on speculation of Mary's feelings and experiences according to society at


that time and based on the feelings most mothers do or might go through during her son's lifetime. While this movie stuck close to Gospel accounts of Jesus' birth, life, and ministry, I think the film fell quite short of delving into what might have been happening with Mary. There were only several brief moments where we heard Mary's thoughts about what was happening. There was good continuity through that though. The film began with Mary as a girl discussing the Passover lamb with her father and later, during Jesus' ministry, when someone mentioned John the Baptist referring to Jesus as the Lamb of God, you see (and hear) the wheels turning in Mary's head as the implication starts to become clear to her. Later at the cross,With the sphere of interest expanding to encompass early television sets, the post-war revolution in portable sets, wind-up and other unusual types of radios, more and more members are joining the BVWS to learn more about the early days and the history and development of broadcasting.

With a chance to tie the game in the closing seconds of Game 5 against the Memphis Grizzlies, Kevin Durant pulled up for a wide-open jumper that he'd make 11 times out of 10 in his sleep. Something weird happened, though, and the shot missed off the back of the rim. The world didn't end, but the Thunder's season did.

It wasn't Durant's fault, though. He did all he could to carry this team as far as he possibly could. Sometimes the balls don't bounce your way, and that's what the Thunder have to


Thunder GM Sam Presti is no hasty man and will not simply up and trade Perkins over the offseason. He will, however, seek to find an eventual replacement for Perk, possibly in the early part of this year's big-man heavy draft.

You can talk about his toughness, his edge and his championship experience, but at the end of the day, Perkins isn't getting it done on the court, and it's starting to really hurt this team.

Overall, there's no reason to really hit the panic button for the Oklahoma City Thunder. There were some major unforeseen areas of adversity this postseason, but it really showed the value Westbrook has for this team's success. Hopefully, he continues to transcend his diminishing criticism, so that Oklahoma City can come back full strengthAn Italian couple broke through security and ran out onto the tarmac at Malta's international airport to try and stop a Ryanair plane from taking off without them.

Judges and magistrates would be required to take into account an offender's Aboriginal background and consider ways to reduce the Indigenous prisoner population under a radical overhaul of sentencing laws drafted by leading lawyers and submitted to a national inquiry.

The blueprint for reducing Indigenous incarceration rates also recommends mandatory sentences be repealed across the country because the laws disproportionately affect Aboriginal offenders.

Attorney-General George Brandis announced an inquiry last year into Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander incarceration rates, headed by the Australian Law Reform Commission.

In its submission to the inquiry, the NSW Bar Association sets out a series of proposed reforms, including amending state and territory sentencing laws "to expressly require courts to consider the unique systemic and background factors" affecting Indigenous offenders.Olmsted and Vaux, Central Park

In the center of Manhattan Island lies a great expanse of sculpted nature. This large swath of greenery—Central Park—was the first great manifesto of a new urban vision that sought to introduce nature into the heart of commercial and industrial cities in the United States. As a measure of its tremendous success, the park quickly and enduringly became one of the most popular public attractions in New York City and an icon of a metropolis often famed more for its commercial power than for its art.

Nature and the city

A design of the magnitude and distinction of Central Park is necessarily the product of a fortuitous set of historical conditions. First, and broadly speaking, the park is an expression of the American fascination with the


natural landscape that had defined the national character since colonial times. Although it was widely recognized that commercial cities had always been necessary, nineteenth-century American art, literature, politics, and popular culture all celebrated rural land as a central element of the nation’s “exceptionalism.” Henry David Thoreau, whose book Walden (1854) chronicled his retreat for self-renewal in rural Massachusetts, suggested every American city should be obliged to set aside land for a “primitive forest” in order to “preserve all the advantages of living in the country.”

The second crucial factor, by the middle of the nineteenth century, was the widespread awareness that industrial cities needed to be carefully planned. Reformers such as the poet and newspaper editor William Cullen Bryant and the travel writer, horticulturalist, and co-designer of Central Park,Early on, he and his design partner Calvert Vaux issued regulations to achieve the desired behavior among park visitors: a polite sociability that might then filter out into behavior in the city itself.

The English landscape

These social concerns relied on the aesthetics of the natural landscape pioneered earlier in England. The “English landscape gardens” of the eighteenth century, as well as the early nineteenth-century suburban cemeteries of Paris, especially Père-Lachaise, strongly influenced landscape design in the United States. In the 1830s, for example, the Rural Cemetery Movement produced important landscape designs including Mount Auburn in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Green-Wood in Brooklyn (below), and Laurel Hill in Philadelphia. These suburban cemeteries were intended to provide a quiet retreat and confer physical and mental health benefits on visitors. They were designed according


to the aesthetics of the English landscape garden (above), in which winding paths, open meadows, ponds, and occasional architectural “follies” created picturesque effects very different from the rigidly symmetrical or geometrical layouts of gardens in the Italian and French traditions, such as the Boboli Gardens in Florence or the royal gardens at Versailles.

Politics and Central Park

Political support was the third major factor in Central Park’s development. The land acquired for the park had been included in the city’s gridded urban plan of 1811, which was an early effort to take control of Manhattan Island’s development. The area was treeless, rocky terrain. On the west side it encompassed a small settlement that counted 264 residents in the 1855 census. About half of the modest houses in “Seneca Village,” asit was known, were owned by free African Americans, along with many German and Irish immigrants. There were at least two churches, cemeteries, and a school. City and state government used the legal power of eminent domain to claim the land as part of Central Park, forcibly evicting all the residents by 1857.

New York engineer Egbert Viele—who was responsible for the first, unbuilt plan for Central Park in 1856—described the land as a “pestilential spot” with “miasmatic odors” emanating from the untended ground. Unhealthy and unsightly, the land was ripe for reform as projections for Manhattan’s future growth pushed the boundary of built-up land further and further north. Reformers and politicians also soon realized that the 1811 plan had not sufficiently taken account of the need for recreational


and other types of open space. Even the few parks provided by that plan had mostly been built over in the intervening decades as real estate interests trumped the public good.

In 1853, after more than a decade of agitation by Bryant, landscape architect Andrew Jackson Downing, and others, the state of New York authorized the creation of a large park in Manhattan, originally to be built and designed by Viele. However, his design was considered perfunctory, offering little in the way of artistry or ingenuity. The Central Park Commissioners, as the governmental body was known, appointed Frederick Law Olmsted as superintendent of works and called for an open competition for a new design.

Olmsted was not a designer or engineer. He had been a farmer and horticultural enthusiast onStaten Island for several years before traveling in northern Europe, Mexico, and elsewhere. His travels inspired him to take up writing and, later, magazine publishing. Calvert Vaux approached Olmsted about jointly submitting a design to the park competition. Vaux, an English architect, had earlier worked in partnership with Downing and eagerly took up the latter’s Romantic ideas about landscape. His partnership with Olmsted resulted in a pairing of like-minded, strong-willed individuals determined to mold the park to their shared vision.

The plan

Olmsted and Vaux won the design competition with their “Greensward Plan,” the last of thirty-two to be submitted. Two elements distinguished the Greensward design from those of their competitors. One was the sheer allure of their landscape features, conveyed in twelve before-and-after panels included in their submission. The


other was the ingenious separation of pedestrian and cross-park carriage (now vehicular) traffic.

The competition brief had insisted that four roadways should connect the east and west sides of Manhattan through the park. All other submissions put those roads on the ground surface, effectively dividing the park into five zones separated by street traffic. However, Olmsted and Vaux submerged their “transverse” roads below ground level and created a continuous expanse of park differentiated by designed topography. As they discovered during construction, this critical invention gave them the chance to increase the park’s picturesque scenery since the many drives and walking paths that cross over the transverses and bridal paths could be embellished by attractive bridges.

From south to north, the park is laid out to create distinct visual experiences, helpingthe visitor navigate the vast space and creating picturesque variety in strong contrast to the rectilinearity of the gridded city around it. South of the reservoirs—there were originally three but today only the largest irregular one remains as a lake—the park is a series of pastoral areas, including the large glade called the Parade Ground (now the Sheep Meadow) surrounded by copses or small groves of trees (above).

In the southern end of the park, we find one area that departs from the naturalism: the long, tree- and bench-lined Promenade now know as the Mall (above) which leads to the Terrace and Bethesda Fountain (below).

Major and Knapp Engraving, Manufacturing, and Lithographic Company, The Terrace, 1869, color lithograph

The Terrace


is divided into upper and lower sections, a remarkably classical environment with wide, symmetrical stairs and a sense of formality. Jacob Wrey Mould, an English architect who worked on the park for Olmsted and Vaux until 1874, designed its ornament. A surprising and elegant space, the Terrace is a delightful foil to the landscape around it. At its center is the much-photographed fountain surmounted by sculptor Emma Stubbins’ Angel of the Waters, installed in 1873 (left). Between the Terrace steps is the Arcade, a long subterranean space with a stunning ceiling decorated with tiles designed by Mould and manufactured by the Minton Tile Works in England. The formal but festive appearance of the Terrace is appropriate for a space conceived as the city’s “open air hall of reception.”

Northand political will that coalesced in the decade before the Civil War. Its instant success led to other opportunities for Olmsted and Vaux to apply their approach to landscape design: a few of the important projects were Prospect Park in Brooklyn (1866-73), the Buffalo park system (begun 1868), and the suburb of Riverside, Illinois (1868).

Later, working apart from Vaux, Olmsted had a flourishing practice: he designed the campus of Stanford University (1889), the Druid Hills district in Atlanta (1892), and the grounds of the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago (1893)—just three among many projects. The landscape philosophy developed by Olmsted and Vaux and first expressed at Central Park had lasting influence, inspiring, for instance, Jens Jensen’s “prairie landscapes” in Chicago and elsewhere in the early twentieth century.

Governing reviewed Census data covering the period since 2000 for all cities with at least 100,000 residents. We found a median increase in the renter population of 31 percent. Many of the jurisdictions with the steepest increases were in rapidly developing areas in Arizona, Florida and Texas. Over the same period, the number in owner-occupied dwellings also rose, but only by a median of 7 percent.

The rental influx hasn’t only been confined to booming areas. Fifty-three cities, including distressed ones like Allentown, added more than 10,000 renters and lost homeowners. Philadelphia provides one of the starkest examples. Its owner-occupied population dropped by about 100,000 since the start of the century, while the city’s large cohort of young adults and supply of new apartments has increased the renter populationSmall Office Decoration Ideas

Meteor Activity Outlook for April 13-19, 2013

The following is a slightly edited version of Bob Lunsford’s excellent weekly summary of meteor activity. The original version can be found at the American Meteor Society’s site.

Meteor activity picks up a bit during April as the Lyrids become active during the month. They are active from the 18th through the 25th, with a pronounced maximum on the 22nd. Sporadic rates during April are steady as seen from both hemispheres with southern observers enjoying twice the activity that can be seen from the mid-northern hemisphere.

During this period the moon reaches its first quarter phase on Wednesday April 17th. At this time the moon is located ninety degrees east of the sun and sets near 0100 local daylight time (LDT). This weekend thewaxing crescent moon will set during the late evening hours and will not cause any problems for meteor observing. The estimated total hourly meteor rates for evening observers this week is near three as seen from the northern hemisphere and four as seen from south of the equator. For morning observers the estimated total hourly rates should be near ten from the mid-northern hemisphere and fifteen from the mid-southern hemisphere. The actual rates will also depend on factors such as personal light and motion perception, local weather conditions, alertness and experience in watching meteor activity.

The radiant (the area of the sky where meteors appear to shoot from) positions and rates listed below are exact for Saturday night/Sunday morning April 13/14. These positions do not change greatly day to


day so the listed coordinates may be used during this entire period.

The following showers are expected to be active this week:

Activity from the Pi Puppids (PPU) begins this week from a radiant located at 07:04 (106) -44. This area of the sky is located central Puppis, five degrees southwest of the third magnitude star Sigma Puppis. This area of the sky is best seen as soon as it becomes dark during the early evening hours. No matter your location, rates will be low, far less than one per hour this early in the activity curve. Observers located in the southern hemisphere have a much better view of this activity as the radiant lies higher in their evening sky. At 18km/sec. the Pi Puppids would produce meteors of veryper hour during the last couple of hours before dawn. While well placed for the northern hemisphere, this radiant is poorly seen from the southern hemisphere. At 42km/sec. the Nu Cygnids would produce meteors of average velocity.

The last of the Delta Aquiliids (DAL) can be seen this weekend. This weak shower is active from April 5 through through the 13th, with maximum activity occurring on the morning of 11th. This stream was first noticed by Peter Jenniskens and is mentioned in his book Meteor Showers and their Parent Comets. It has been recently verified in the IMO video database producing low activity during the period mentioned above. The radiant is currently located near 20:48 (312) +14. This position actually lies in central Delphinus, two degrees south of fourth
