Juan Hernangomez, PF, Spain: Hernangomez was recently awarded the Spanish ACB League's Best Young Player award, a solid feather in his cap that is well deserved after a breakout year that saw him average nearly 10 points per night while playing against men. It was nice that Hernangomez got the award this year, as it's exceedingly likely that thing belongs to Luka Doncic next year for Real Madrid, a potential top-five pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. Hernangomez is a forward who can shoot the 3 and may or may not come over next season.

The series will explore the history of the annual Texas College of Mines (TCM) Day tradition that involves rituals like "Kissing the Blarney Stone" and whitewashing the M on the mountain to celebrate the university's roots in mining and engineering. It will recall the prank in 1953 that involved students "borrowing" a live alligator from San Jacinto Plaza and placing it in a professor's office.

UTEP's history is rich with anecdotes about unique campus traditions such as the annual Minerpalooza community festival. The university boasts alumni who have gone on to have a national or global impact, such as former NASA astronaut Danny Olivas, TV newsman Sam Donaldson, NFL referee EdHochuli and New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, as well as lesser-known but equally important names such as Dennis Poon, architect behind some of the world's tallest buildings; Mike Loya, president of one of the world's largest energy trading companies; and Hank Cohen, former CEO of MGM Television.

Readers will meet some of the former Paydirt Pete mascots who pumped up the crowds at football and basketball games in the Sun Bowl and Don Haskins Center, as well as the original 27 students who enrolled at the Texas School of Mines in 1914. Readers will also learn about the nation's first Peace Corps volunteers, who trained at Texas Western College (now UTEP).

What to Know Video of Montclair State University campus police making an arrest is going viral on Twitter

The video shows campus cops pulling their weapons on students and another man after two of the men were seen fighting

Montclair students have called the officers' actions excessive, but the university has defended the use of force

A New Jersey university is defending the actions of its campus police after they were filmed drawing their guns on students while breaking up a fight on the first day of class -- the same day former vice president Joe Biden was visiting.

Video of the incident at Montclair State University is going viral -- with students accusing the officers of police brutality and racial profiling -- after student Jaffer Mehdi filmed it on his phoneand posted it to Twitter.

Mehdi said he saw two men fighting on campus on Wednesday afternoon. When an officer arrived, the men stopped fighting, and he started filming. "One of the men put his hands up and the officer drew his gun... that’s where the video starts," he says.

In the clip, one man is standing with his hands on his head and two officers have pulled their guns. A man in a red t-shirt pulls his arm away from an officer, and is then pushed to the ground. At least one other officer appears to have drawn his gun and two men seated in a car are then pulled from the vehicle and handcuffed on the ground at gunpoint. Mehdi said all of the men in the video


are Montclair students, apart from the man in the red t-shirt.

The incident happened on the same day Joe Biden was on campus campaigning for congressional candidate Mikie Sherrill.

As of Friday morning the video has been viewed almost 350,000 times and retweeted more than 5,000 times, many from Montclair students expressing their disappointment, but some were others saying it was the man in the red t-shirt's own fault for resisting.

But the university hit back after the video went viral, saying its officers took "every precaution necessary" to make sure people on campus were kept safe. "While the optics in the video may be unclear, the reality is that the officers acted according to New Jersey Attorney General guidelines and the process worked," it said.

The university said the men involvedin the fight initially refused to lie on the ground when asked. It said the officer then asked a man in the car to show his hands and saw more movement in the car but couldn't see through the tinted windows. "Because of the uncertainty of the situation, the officer drew his weapon to secure the scene until back-up arrived."

The university said one man was charged with simple assault, one was charged with simple assault, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, and two other men were released at the scene.

But Mehdi said students were still angry and looking for answers.

"I believe the police response was excessive," Mehdi says. "In the video it shows that four officers drew their guns at unarmed men, dragged one man from the car and

La Roja new boys ready to shine

There is less than a month to go before the FIFA Confederations Cup South Africa 2009 gets underway on 14 June, and Spain coach Vicente del Bosque, who took the reins in the wake of La Roja's UEFA EURO 2008 triumph, is gearing up for what will be his first major challenge in the role.

Since taking the helm of one of the competition favourites, along with Italy and Brazil, Del Bosque has kept faith with the core of Luis Aragones's squad that claimed continental glory in Vienna last summer. Yet the experienced coach is aware of the dangers of living off past success, and has so far balanced the need to introduced fresh new talent without La Selecciónlosing or even drawing a game during his ten months in charge. FIFA.com brings you some of these new faces aiming to cause a stir at South Africa 2009.

"We've brought talented young players into the team who are going to strengthen the national cause," said Del Bosque, who has not hesitated to blood these up-and-coming starlets on even the most testing of occasions. Indeed, Barcelona centre-back Gerard Pique's second senior international match had him standing in for injured Barça team-mate Carles Puyol in a crucial 2010 FIFA World Cup™ qualifier against Turkey in Madrid. Not only did Pique contribute to a Spanish clean sheet, but the former Manchester United defender - in outstanding club form since his summer 2008 return to the Camp Nou - notched the only


goal of the game.

Another man grabbing his first full international strike in only his second match was rangy Athletic Bilbao target man Fernando Llorente. "He's managed to add the required aggression to his natural forward's ability. I expect him to be an important player for us in the future," said Del Bosque of the man who headed Spain's second in the 2-0 friendly win over England in February. At 1.93m, the blond forward has led the line for the Basque outfit impressively this campaign and leads Los Leones' goal charts with 13.

We've brought talented young players into the team who are going to strengthen the national cause,

Vicente del Bosque on his new boys.

Fellow emerging players given an opportunity to shine in the South Africa 2010 qualifying double-header withTurkey were Juan Manuel Mata and Sergi Busquets. Valencia attacker Mata, who came on as a substitute for Los Chés club-mate David Villa in the Bernabeu, was earning his reward for 11 goals and 15 assists in La Liga so far this season.

Barcelona midfielder Busquets, who is thriving in his first top flight campaign, joined the fray in the second half in Istanbul and thus contributed to Spain's 2-1 comeback success. "I'm very thankful for the faith the coach has put in me, and I hope to be able to repay that out on the field every chance I get," he said afterwards.

Del Bosque is surely just as grateful to the youth system of the Catalan club, which has produced current internationals Puyol, Pepe Reina, Xavi Hernandez, Cesc


Fabregas and Andres Iniesta, as well as Spain new boys Pique, Busquets and livewire forward Bojan Krkic. The latter is another of the youngsters contributing to Los Azulgranas' phenomenal season under Josep Guardiola, including a goal in their 4-1 Copa del Rey win over Athletic Bilbao on 13 May.

La Selección does not thrive on Barça alone, however, with the likes of Sevilla left-winger Diego Capel and Bilbao defender Andoni Iraola, already a veteran of over 200 La Liga encounters at the age of 26, bursting into international contention since EURO 2008. Del Bosque has also brought in Villarreal custodianDiego Lopez, who has been in outstanding form this season in both domestic and European competition. Though yet to make his senior Spain debut, Lopez appears to have edged outSevilla's Andres Palop in the battle for his country's third-choice keeper's berth.

Another common factor in many of these emerging talents is their pedigree at youth national-team level. Indeed, Pique, Capel and Mata were all part of Spain's UEFA European U-19 Championship-winning squad in 2006, while Bojan was the star of the team crowned European U-17 champions in 2007 and which later that year finished runners-up in the FIFA U-17 World Cup Korea, where he hit five goals and was awarded the adidas Bronze Ball.

Last but not least we have another fleet-footed Sevilla winger Jesus Navas. The diminutive 24-year-old, whose recurring injury problems have so far prevented fans from enjoying his exquisite dribbling and crossing in La Roja jersey, is a genuine star in La Liga and Del Bosque


International Pairs World Finals Ends in Playoff at Machrihanish Dunes Golf Course

15th Annual Tournament Won by Spain in Play Off Against England

Argyll, Scotland (PRWEB)October 28, 2013

Machrihanish Dunes Golf Club announced today that the team of Manuel Hernandez Gonzalez and Manuel Sanchez Varela of Team Spain are the winners of the 2013 International Pairs World Finals, which was recently held at Machrihanish Dunes. With a Stableford score of 41, the team from Spain won in a nail biting play-off against Marcus Law and Stuart Stamps of England. South Africa’s team of Johann Strauss and Pierre van Graan came in third with a score of 39.

The International Pairs World Finals at Machrihanish Dunes hosted teams from more than 30 different countries. The top ten teams, in order of winningwere: Spain, England (2), South Africa (3), South Africa (2), USA, Antigua & Barbados, England (1), United Arab Emirates, Nigeria (1) and Portugal, who took home the top spot in 2012.

Other countries that placed in the top 20 included the Czech Republic, Romania, Wales, Trinidad & Tobago, Egypt and Ireland.

The 2013 International Pairs World Final, hosted at The Village at Machrihanish Dunes, brought together finalists from across the globe in what event organizer Patrick Mulcrone called the ultimate test of golf. “All in attendance described the setting and course for this final as perfect,” Mulcrone said, “with many holes hugging the rugged and picturesque shores of the Mull of Kintyre. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff in attendance and the testing links course was in absolutely


perfect condition for the competitors, who prepared for battle in Scotland, the home of golf.”

The tournament kicked off with a procession through Main Street, Campbeltown with the Machrihanish Dunes Sound of Kintyre Pipe Band, which was joined in the town square by the James McCorkindale School of Dancing’s highland-style dancers.

The practice round was played in near-perfect conditions, with sunny skies and little or no wind to test or challenge the players on the championship Machrihanish Dunes links course.

There were no clear-cut favourites and the final scores underlined just how competitive the event was. At the end, there were two teams left, Spain and England on 41 points apiece; Manuel Sanchez Varela (11) and Manuel Hernandez Gonzalez (2) representing Spain and Stuart Stamps (9) and Marcus Law (5) wererepresenting England.

With a tie score, the teams were looking at a two-hole, sudden death play-off, playing down the short, but very challenging Par 4, 10th hole and the longer Par 4 11th hole, with the Atlantic wind pressing from the right and danger all along the left.

The two referees walked the players through the tiebreak and they gathered at the 10th tee, followed by a strong entourage of competitors, guests and staff.

After the tenth hole was halved when the British golfer Law called a penalty on himself because his ball had moved on the green, the excitement and tension level of the match only grew higher. On the second playoff hole, both Spaniards drove to within chipping distance of the hole on the lower level of the green


and went on to clinch the tournament by putting out for par. A more detailed play by play is attached.

Now in its 16th year, the International Pairs World Finals competition is comprised of more than 120 club golfers who have surpassed regional and country finals to represent their country in the final matches at Machrihanish Dunes. Since its inception in 2004, thousands of golfers representing more than 35 countries have competed in the event.

The tournament format includes a practice round and two competition rounds over the 3-day period. To participate, players first have to compete in a Club Qualifier event at their home club. Clubs can register at GolfFrontiers.com. The local Club Qualifier can be a medal, charity or other tournament. Winners of the local qualifiers then proceedto Regional Finals, the winners of which then have the opportunity to participate in the International Pairs World Finals at Machrihanish Dunes.

When Kentucky Derby winner Orb takes on his rivals in the Preakness Stakes on May 18, he'll encounter a foe he's never raced—at least not officially. Orb's biggest roadblock in his quest for the second jewel of the Triple Crown is Illinois Derby winner Departing, a homebred gelding co-owned by Claiborne Farm.

The two 3-year-olds took separate paths toward the starting gate at Pimlico. Orb began his career at Saratoga and went on to Gulfstream Park, while Departing kicked off his career at the Fair Grounds.

But both began their lives in the same Kentucky fields.

Orb is owned by the Phipps and Janney families, longtime Claiborne clients. Orb and Departing were both brought up at Claiborne.

In fact, they spent months in the same paddock. The results of those unofficial racesthey surely contested as youngsters are long lost with time, but the scene at Pimlico might look familiar to those who raised them as foals.

Orb could be headed back to those fields months or years from now. The Phipps and Janneys have long sent their top broodmares and stallions to Claiborne when their racing days are over.

He will almost certainly retire to Claiborne too, perhaps even in the same stall that once housed his grandsire Unbridled, along with former Shug McGaughey trainee Easy Goer, Secretariat and Bold Ruler.

As for Departing, trainer Al Stall and Claiborne owner Seth Hancock are planning on a long racing career for him under the Claiborne colors. It's one reason Departing skipped the Kentucky Derby after finishing third in the Louisiana Derby.

"Seth Hancock has


not had Derby fever and he will never have Derby fever," Stall said on a teleconference Thursday. "We're looking for longevity out of him. ... We're just trying to do what's right by the horse."

The connections of the potential Preakness starters seem unfazed by the coincidence that has had the racing world buzzing. Perhaps that's because they've already been there before.

McGaughey, Orb's trainer, also conditioned Seeking the Gold, who was born in the same 1985 crop as Claiborne homebred Forty Niner. The two horses also grew up in the same fields before beginning their racing careers and later became rivals on the racetrack.

They stood stud at Claiborne together until 1995, when Forty Niner was sold to a Japan breeding operation.

Stall has a long history and a healthy dosethe books. He admitted on the teleconference that he feels more nervous about this race than he did about the Derby.

McGaughey said he can breathe easier when the Preakness is over and they can take Orb back to his home base at Belmont Park.

"If we make it through this one and get to Belmont, we're going to be home and he'll be in his own stall," he said. "I think that's a big plus."

Bring on Departing, he said.

"Departing is a very worthy participant in the Preakness," he said. "He's a pretty darn nice horse."

ABOUT THE BOOK

Skip Tracer Joanne Weeks knows Baxter Jackson killed his second wife---and Joanne's best friend---seven years ago. But Jackson, a church elder and beloved member of the town, walks the streets a free man.

The police tell Joanne to leave well enough alone, but Joanne is determined to bring Jackson down. Using her skip tracing skills, she sets out to locate Melissa Harkoff, now twenty-two, who lived in the Jackson home at the time of Linda Jackson's disappearance.

As Joanne drives home on a rainy winter night, a hooded figure darts in front of her car. In her headlight beams she glimpses the half-concealed face of a man, a rivuletof blood jagging down his cheek. She squeals to a stop but clips him with her right fender. Shaking, she gets out of her car in the pouring rain. The man will not let her see his face. Before he limps off into the night he warns her not to talk to police.

As Joanne tries to find Melissa, someone seems to be after her. Who was the man she hit on the road. Is Baxter Jackson out to silence her? Or is some other skip she's traced in the past now out for revenge?

why the Irish have been so angry with the British for so long. The second is that hunger in this big world is always politically based. During the famine, wealthy British landowners continued to grow crops for export, filling warehouses and ships with grain while Irish families starved and died in the streets outside. The British government did little to help, insisting that bailing out the people would create dependency, and preferring to follow a “laissez faire” philosophy. There was plenty of food to be had, if the people in power had been willing to bring it. Thousands of people died.

Pretty good reason to drink some beer, huh? Well, while you’re Irish for a day, raise a glass to the indomitable spirit and strength of the Irish people.Push for P-plates until 25

Push for P-plates until 25

A senior academic in road safety supports the police push for new drivers to refrain from drinking until the age of 25.

Forcing young drivers to remain on probationary licences until the age of 25 would cut Victoria's road toll, says the state's top traffic police officer.

Under the move, young adults would have to drive with a zero blood alcohol level for an extra three years, or for the first seven years of solo driving.

Assistant Commissioner Robert Hill, who wants the community to consider making the change, said 40 per cent of people aged 20 to 25 who were killed or injured on Victorian roads every year were victims of drink-driving.

The road toll by age since 1987.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- W. Carter Merbreier, known for decades to children's television audiences as Captain Noah, died Tuesday morning at his home in Audubon, Pennsylvania after battling a short illness.He recently celebrated his 90th birthday.Merbreier, who was an ordained Lutheran minister and former chaplain for the Philadelphia Police Department, created and co-hosted the long-running syndicated children's television series "Captain Noah and His Magical Ark," which aired on 6abc (WPVI-TV) in Philadelphia for 27 years.The show began in 1967 as a religiousprogram starring Merbreier and his wife, Patricia Merbreier, as Captain and Mrs. Noah and was produced by the Philadelphia Council of Churches.By 1970 it had switched to a strictly children's format. It was recorded at 6abc's studios and aired on the station until 1994.At its peak in the early 1970s, "Captain Noah and His Magical Ark" was broadcast in syndication on 22 television stations throughout the United States and attracted a larger local Philadelphia audience than both Captain Kangaroo and Sesame Street combined.Through the years big name celebrities and athletes made appearances on the "Magical Ark," such as Charles Barkley and Dorothy Hamell. Jim Henson introduced his puppets to Captain Noah, and Frank Purdue hatched baby chicks on the show.Carter Merbrier was raised in Delaware County, attended Penn,


then seminary at Temple University.He served as pastor of Messiah Lutheran Church, then the largest Protestant church in town. But we remember him best as the man who taught kids all sorts of things and made each feel special.Carter and Patricia Merbreier jointly decided to retire and end the show in 1994 after co-hosting approximately 3,600 episodes. Patricia Merbreier died on June 23, 2011, aged 86, following a long illness.In a statement Tuesday, 6abc President and General Manager Bernie Prazenica said:"We lost a dear friend and TV legend today. Captain Noah truly was magical, and he helped shape the foundation of what Channel 6 is today. What we remember about Carter was he loved to make children smile, and he maintained a deep faith in the human spirit.For three decades, Carter and his wife Pat delighted viewers in Philadelphia, and across America. "Captain Noah and His Magical Ark" was produced here at 6abc, and syndicated to more than 20 television markets. At its peak, Captain Noah was one of the most watched Children's television shows in America.Our condolences go out to the Merbreirer family, his Channel 6 family, and all fans of Captain Noah."


How Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people met their basic needs

Hunting and gathering

The daily life for many Indigenous Australians before 1788 depended on where they lived in Australia. Some lived in fertile country near a river so they did not have to move around as much. Those people living in the desert needed to move around more to find food and water.

See image 1

The Indigenous Australians living on mainland Australia were hunter-gatherers. Hunter-gatherers did not farm the land. They collected edible plants and hunted wild animals. Some of the food that was eaten would have been kangaroos, emus, wombats, goanna, snakes, birds, insects, nuts, fruits and berries.

Preparing food

Indigenous Australians used basic tools to prepare food. Sharpened stones were used to skin animals and fire was usedMiddleton said after the hearing: "Thankfully, this misguided venture by my sister came to a merciful conclusion." With the settlement, Middleton said that he wanted to get on with his life and focus on what was important to him, such as "returning the Phillies to the glory years" and his philanthropy.


The Research Directorate of the National Security Agency is pleased to announce the winner of this year's Science of Security (SoS) Best Scientific Cybersecurity Paper Competition. The competition was established to recognize the current security paper that best reflects the conduct of good science in the work described. SoS is a broad enterprise, involving both theoretical and empirical work. While there can only be one best paper, any one paper cannot span that full breadth. Nonetheless, the field is broad and work in all facets is encouraged and needed. The common denominator across the variety of approaches is solid methodology and effective communication, so those aspects of the papers were strong factors in our decision.

This year's winner, "Memory Trace Oblivious Program Execution," is a research paper presented atare not working.

Chang Liu, Dr. Michael Hicks, and Dr. Elaine Shi will be honored on September 18th at an award ceremony, hosted by the NSA's Director of Research, where their paper will be presented before an audience of cybersecurity experts. Sascha Fahl and Dr. Matthew Smith will also be honored during the ceremony for their research as this year's honorable mention. The competition reflects the Agency's desire to increase scientific rigor in cybersecurity.

After reviewing the papers in an open nomination process, these experts provided individual recommendations along with researchers from NSA's Trusted Systems Research Group and Information Assurance Directorate. Dr. Wertheimer, Director of Research at NSA made the final decision.

As the only "in-house" organization in the Intelligence Community dedicated to advancing intelligence through science, the NSA Research Directorate


a 'build & buy' strategy in its growth plan. The company has established a successful 'build' track record. GreeneStone Muskoka was founded by converting a resort property into a first-class residential addiction treatment facility. The Company's outpatient and aftercare treatment facility, GreeneStone Yorkville, successfully launched operations after the company identified and secured the property and hired the clinical team. The 'buy' portion of the expansion strategy is intended to expand the company's breadth of services, currently consisting of inpatient addiction treatment, outpatient and aftercare service, and endoscopy procedures, along with eating disorders for which facilities have been secured and are in the process of being launched.

The company's revenue generating capacity for treatment beds is currently in the range of $600 to $1000 per day per bed. Once GreeneStone'sUber entered Mexico City in 2013, and says it has grown to around 300,000 users. But just as in many other cities across the world, the controversial cellphone app has upset Mexico City taxi cab organizations, who say the service is illegal and have protested in the streets.

In response, Mexico City's government is holding round-tables on how best to regulate apps like Uber and Cabify, which say they are private car services rather than taxis.

On Wednesday, Ana Paula Blanco, Uber's head of communications for Latin America, said the company had no problem with greater oversight in Mexico City, which has 140,000 registered taxis.

"[Any regulation] needs to take account of four things: social benefits, economic benefits, that we're considered a new type of transport in the city and that


it doesn't stop innovation," she told journalists.

Taxi driver union leaders at the round-table said apps like Uber were breaking the law, and were upset because their drivers pay less in city fees and insurance.

But Rufino Leon, the city's transport secretary, said ride-sharing apps were not illegal.

"They make private contracts with private individuals, providing services that do not fall under the description of taxis," Leon said.

Uber, which is valued at over $40 billion, has expanded rapidly across the world, but its speedy growth has led it into fierce confrontations with taxi companies and regulators.

California's Labor Commission said on Wednesday that a driver for Uber is an employee, not a contractor, as Uber has argued. The commission's decision could eventually push up costs for the smartphone-based ride hailing service andOne is a former Kentucky Wildcat who made a splash when he became a Gonzaga Bulldog and could lead the nation in scoring this year.

a race he will never forget.

"It was awesome! My best, most funnest Quest ever!" exclaimed Mackey, who rested longer in checkpoints and shared stories with the volunteers about his experiences on the trail.

Mackey said he was “ecstatic” with the performance of his young dog team, which turned in a time of 12 days, seven hours, two minutes in their first Yukon Quest.

"This is the most memorable bonding experience I've had with my team."

The veteran musher was greeted by several of his peers in the finish chute, including this year’s champion, Brent Sass, as well as Brian Wilmshurst and Damon Tedford.

"It was awesome running with you guys...or at least behind you." Mackey joked.

While he plans on running the same dog team in next month’s Iditarod, Mackey said he’s alreadylooking forward to the 2016 Yukon Quest.

"So when can I sign up?"

Olson First Female Musher to Cross Finish

Ryne Olson finished her first Yukon Quest with a blazing run on the last section of trail, clocking a time of just eight hours and three minutes from Two Rivers to Fairbanks, arriving at 12:56pm Thursday.

The rookie musher was the first female to cross the finish like in this year’s race, with a total elapsed time of 12 days, two hours, and eleven minutes. She was greeted at the finish line by past champions Allen Moore and Aliy Zirkle, who helped Olson get her start in mushing.

Praised as a force to be reckoned with in the future, Olson said she was pleased with her team’s race, adding her dogs made her


smile. It’s the first time her dogs have run 1,000 miles.

Kristin Knight Pace, who travelled a large portion of the trail with Mackey, was the 15th musher to cross the finish line, arriving to large cheers from the crowd of friends, family, and fellow mushers.

Knight Pace completed the race in 12 day and 11 hours on the dot.

A group of kids from Orion's Belt School of Self Defense, which sponsors Knight Pace and her team, came out with signs and stayed to ask her some questions after her dog team was take care of.

"It was the trip of a lifetime. The coolest thing I've ever done, hands down!" Knight Pace said about the Yukon Quest.

Asked about the extreme cold weather on the first half of the trail, shereplied, “I don't have a thermometer on my sled, so ignorance is bliss."

Knight Pace also praised musher Cody Strathe, who greeted her at the finish, for building her dog sled.

"I know his sleds are really tough, because I hit lots of stuff,” she laughed.

Asked if she’s going to run the Yukon Quest again, Knight Pace paused, and then answered that her husband Andy has to go first.

One more musher will cross the finish line of the 2015 Yukon Quest. Rob Cooke was still completing his eight-hour mandatory layover in Two Rivers as of midnight and is expected to arrive in Fairbanks around lunchtime on Friday.


Robin Hood of folklore, literature and early film? Of course not. Does the George Reeves Superman TV series accurately represent Superman's personality, methods and basic formula as conceived and created and depicted by Jerry Siegel? Yes, it does. Was it made strictly to entertain children? No, it wasn't. No. Producer Robert Maxwell, in partnership with Bernard Luber, made the first season of the Adventures of Superman television series with the intention of getting an early-evening, prime-time schedule slot, aimed at adults and families. The first season of Adventures of Superman included many deaths in many of the episodes, for example...a man is shot in the back and killed in "The Stolen Costume" episode, and a man and a woman fall to their deaths after Superman leaves them ontop of a cliff in that same episode, a woman is beaten in "Night of Terror" and Lois is punched in the face, a crippled old woman in a wheelchair is pushed down a flight of stairs where skeletal remains are in "The Evil Three," a dead dog is found in "The Deserted Village." It was not geared primarily toward children. George Reeves also wanted to gain an adult audience.

But they expect everything else to conform to general standards of “realism.”

Was The Avengers conforming to Christopher Nolan's attempts at grounded "realism"? No, not really, and it was a huge, huge success.

Quote:

wisecracking during fisticuffs or smiling as bullets fly aren’t among those ways.

I disagree. Superman with a cocky sense of humor doesn't make him less entertaining or less adults


first learn he was an alien from Krypton in Jerry Siegel's "The K-Metal from Krypton" story.

Things I have liked though:
- the opening on Krypton, way I read it came across like a scene from a horror movie

There isn't even a Krypton opening in the original Dan Gilroy script I have that's dated February 24, 1998. It just starts off opening with Superman fighting the guys who dumped nuclear fuel rods into a lake. In the second Dan Gilroy script I have dated September 20, 1998, after Tim Burton was off the project, opens with a brief Krypton scene with Jor-El fighting Brainiac, which was based on the longer Krypton opening scene from the Wesley Strick script.

The one I'm reading has that Krypton scene u mentioned in the drafta complaint; as others have mentioned, your posts are interesting. Regarding the Superman Lives screenplay, I thought it was amateurishly bad. Abrams’ 2nd draft of Flyby, though it had issues, was better by miles.

Could I get that script from you? Also, what other scripts relating to Superman Lives/Reborn that


and rescue of children at the Luthorworld Amusement Park in the Wesley Strick script.

I liked that one part in Gilroy's script where Superman has that secret room or whatever and he has a wall full of newspaper clippings of aliens and what not. I have to read it again. And on a side note, The Man-Bat reminds me of Kurosawa, who posted on Man of Steel threads, with his knowledge of the history.

In terms of citing numerous comic book pages, issues or eras for precedent, I would think intention is a more fruitful guidepost for modern iterations. With a few exceptions, Superman (in the old days) was never presented as comedic or spoofy. Allowing for the fantastical context, the reader/audience was always supposed to take the character andout of Lex's body at times.

All this time I was thinking the Dan Gilroy draft was the last script Tim Burton was working with before he left the project. I come to find out now that Burton left in April and that the draft Dan Gilroy wrote was in dated September of 98. So the Wesley Strick script that was released is the closet thing we have to Tim Burton vision of the film?

That's right. The first Dan Gilroy draft that was dated January 24th, 1998 was also while Tim Burton was still signed on to direct the Superman film project, but Tim Burton didn't like that draft and called it committee-ized. Tim Burton had lost control of the scripting and was upset. By the time Dan Gilroy


was finished with his September 20th, 1998 draft Tim Burton was off the Superman film project and onto directing the Sleepy Hollow film project instead. Tim Burton signed onto direct Sleepy Hollow in June 1998, regaining creative independence, away from Jon Peters and Warners year long script meetings and rewrites.

Superman (in the old days) was never presented as comedic or spoofy. Allowing for the fantastical context, the reader/audience was always supposed to take the character and his stories seriously.

Is that the way you figure it? You honestly think that the many Superman scans I posted of humorous Superman moments written by creator Jerry Siegel such as this...
...were intended to be dead serious and not comedic? Or you are just trying to ignore all of those examples I provided.Those moments were obviously intended to be comedic and showed Superman's sense of humor. And of course the many Superman stories featuring Mister Mxyztplk were intended to be comedic. While those Jack Kirby scans I posted were mostly all serious moments, there was some humor included there as well in Scrapper's reaction to the Zoomway. Also in Jack Kirby's run there was insult comedian Don Rickles and Goodie Rickles. Those stories featuring Don Rickles and Goodie Rickles were obviously intended to be comedic.
Jack Kirby also created a little creature named Charlie who eats chairs as more comic relief to his run on Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen.
Even John Byrne's The Man of Steel had comedic moments, again showing Superman's sense of humor, toying with criminals humorously.

John Byrne even brought


as the strong, silent, Gary Cooper-ish type. In the right situation, smiles are fine.

You are of course free to prefer whatever soups you like, but there is no more "right" version of Superman than the original Golden Age version that was conceived and created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in the first place, and that Superman was the lively, smiling, wisecracking Douglas Fairbanks type. Douglas Fairbanks was the influence on the creation of Superman's personality. The characters basic personality should be retained. Move too far away from that and then the character is no longer authentic.

Getting back to the topic of Superman Lives...

While not my favorite script, I definitely prefer it over Jonathan Lemkin's Christian Bible-based Superman Reborn script with the immaculate conception, impregnated with Superman's spirit, etc. which deviated waaaay too far from the Superman mythos.

Never read Jonathan Lemkin's script thankfully sounds awful. I really do love the Cary Bates script wish they'd made it myself. Don't know why but I picture Rutger Hauer as Brainiac on that. I also heard Christopher Reeve was interested in doing that one.

BtwMandibular neuralgia due to anatomical variations.
In our large collection of macerated human adult skulls and disarticulated skulls of young individuals we found cases with an extremely large lateral lamina of the pterygoid process. The medial wall of the infratemporal fossa was defined as its formation by the lateral lamina of the pterygoid process and the medial pterygoid muscle. The muscular part formed two-thirds and the lateral lamina one-third of this wall. In cases of a very large lateral lamina in our specimens nearly the whole medial wall was osseous. The third portion of the trigeminal nerve gives off the lingual nerve and alveolar mandibular nerve in the region of the infratemporal fossa. These two nerves generally passed between the lateral and medial pterygoid muscles to their terminal sites.


Localization of dopamine D2 receptor mRNA with non-radioactive in situ hybridization histochemistry.
A digoxigenin-labeled antisense 42-mer oligonucleotide was used for the localization of the dopamine D2 receptor mRNA in the rat brain. The digoxigenin label was identified with alkaline phosphatase conjugated sheep-anti-digoxigenin. In good analogy with the known terminal fields of the dopaminergic system, various nuclei throughout the brain were labeled. Positive in situ hybridization signals were also found in dopamine cell groups of the substantia nigra and ventral tegmental area and in regions where a dopaminergic innervation is controversial, like the cerebellar cortex and the hippocampus. The non-radioactive in situ hybridization procedure described, shows the localization of the dopamine D2 receptor mRNA with a very high contrast and an optimal histological resolution.rotor, which on its part depends on the geometry and design of the wind rotor. The progress curve describing an optimal speed of the wind rotor, which depends on the wind speed, is known as parabolics. The term of an efficiency-optimal speed is used in the present application for a rotor speed following said parabolics.
The conversion of the mechanical power of a wind power plant into electric power by means of an electric generator leads to a further requirement placed on wind power plants because the connection of the electric generator to an electric interconnected network grid also requires the observance of a constant system frequency.
When coupling an electric generator to the mains network, a first solution is to provide the entire drive train of the wind power

The first TechRadar Phone Awards took place in the awesome Ticketmaster Offices in London tonight – complete with slide – and a packed room saw some of the biggest names being rewarded for their impressive efforts.

Poor attempts at humour from Phones and Tablets Editor Gareth Beavis and Editor in Chief Patrick Goss aside, a great time was had by all – especially the winners.

Innovation of the yearThe first award went to Qualcomm for its excellent Snapdragon 801 System on          A. Trial

      The following is a summary by this court of the facts presented at trial:

              The victim, Marcus Crawford, was twenty-eight years old when he
      was fatally shot during the course of an aggravated robbery in Shelby
      County. At trial, the State called eyewitness LaDonna Harris, who testified
      that on January 19, 2004, she resided in an apartment located at 268
      Tillman in Memphis with her son and daughter and that the victim was her


 boyfriend. Ms. Harris recalled that shortly before midnight on January 19,
      the two children were in one bedroom of the apartment, and she and the
      victim were in the adjacent master bedroom when they heard a knock on
      the door. Mr. Crawford went into the living room to answer the door, and a
      few minutes later, Ms. Harris left the bedroom and walked down the hall to
      see Mr. Crawford talking to two men in the living room. Ms. Harris did not
      know the names of the two men at the time, but she recognized them from
Mr. Crawford in the back. She recalled that “they tussled for a couple

                                            2
of minutes,” during which time the gun went off again, leaving a bullet hole
in her dresser. She stated that the men then dragged the victim out of the
bedroom and into the living room. Ms. Harris stated that she heard the gun
being fired again, and she later observed that a bullet had gone into the
ceiling. Ms. Harris stated that the men then dragged the victim outside, and
that she called 911. She heard the


victim outside screaming for help, and
she ran outside and saw the victim lying on the porch of an apartment
across the street, where a family friend of the [Petitioner] lived. The police
arrived at the scene approximately fifteen minutes later. Ms. Harris
testified that she identified the [Petitioner] as the shooter after viewing a
photographic lineup on January 23, 2004.

        Audra Woods, the fifteen-year-old daughter of Ms. Harris, testified
that she was eleven years old in January of 2004. She testified that she and
her five year old half-brother, Marcus, Jr., who was the son of Ms. Harris
and Mr. Crawford, were in their own bedroom the entire time that the two
men were in the house on the evening of January 19, 2004. Miss Woods
testified that she couldsee into the living room from the foot of her bed,
and that she saw the [Petitioner] holding a gun to the victim’s head. Miss
Woods testified that the gunman wore a gray hooded sweatshirt, and that
the other man wore a red hooded sweatshirt. Miss Woods testified that she
saw the two men and her mother and the victim go into the master
bedroom, that she heard two gunshots, and that she grabbed her little
brother and hid in the closet. She testified that she saw the men dragging
the victim down the hallway, and that she heard another gunshot when the
men were in the living room. Miss Woods stated that after the two men left
the house, she went to the living room, looked out the screen door, and saw
the men drag the victim


across the street and leave him on the porch of an
apartment. Miss Woods testified that she spoke with the 911 operator after
her mother called to report the shooting and robbery. Miss Woods
subsequently identified the [Petitioner] as the man she saw holding a gun to
the victim’s head, after she viewed a photographic lineup on January 23,
2004.

       Andrew Brown testified that he was an officer with the Memphis
Police Department. Brown responded to the crime scene at approximately
11:35 p.m. He observed the victim lying on the porch of the apartment
complex across the street from 268 Tillman, and he recalled that the victim
had been shot once in the back. Officer Brown testified that based upon his
own experience and the location of the gunshot wound, he thoughtMr.
Crawford was in imminent danger of death. He asked the victim who shot

                                      3
him, and the victim responded, “I don’t know right now.” Officer Brown
tried to calm the victim until the ambulance arrived, and he later learned
that the victim died.

        Alfred Gardner lived next door to Ms. Harris and her children. He
testified that the victim was present at the house periodically. On the night
of January 19, 2004, he awoke to the sound of doors being slammed and
looked out his window, which was “foggy” from


the cold air outside.
Gardner stated that he observed two men cross the street and get into the
passenger side of a parked vehicle, which he described as a “small
minivan.” Gardner stated that “one of [the men] was a little taller than the
other one.” He testified that he saw the vehicle pull away, and that he saw
Ms. Harris outside talking on the telephone.

       John Hudson, who lived at the apartment in front of which the victim
was found, testified that he was a longtime family friend of the victim. On
the night of the shooting, he heard knocking at his door, and upon opening
the door, saw the victim lying on the porch, bleeding. Hudson testified that
the victim called him by his nickname, “Uncle J.R.,” and said,“Call the
ambulance. I’ve been shot.” Hudson went inside the apartment and called
911. Hudson recalled noticing a cut on the victim’s arm. Hudson stated
that one of his neighbors provided the victim with a blanket for comfort
while they waited for an ambulance.

        Sergeant Barry Hanks of the Memphis Police Department testified
that he was assigned to investigate the homicide. He visited the crime
scene and spoke with Ms. Harris and her daughter regarding the
circumstances of the crime and possible suspects in the case. Sergeant
Hanks assembled several photographic lineups of suspects. During her
viewing of one of these lineups, Ms. Harris identified Reginald Shields as
the man who held her against the bedroom wall and took money from her
purse. Sergeant Hanks testified that he brought Shields in for


and “a pound of weed.”

        Officer David Payment testified that he worked with the Crime
Scene Investigation unit of the Memphis Police Department, and he
described the bullet damage and bloodstains he observed inside Ms. Harris’
residence, photographs of which were admitted into evidence. The State
concluded its case with the testimony of Dr. O.C. Smith, who was the
medical examiner in Shelby County until February of 2004, and who was
admitted by the trial court as an expert in the field of forensic pathology.
Dr. Smith testified that he performed the autopsy on the victim, Mr.
Crawford. Dr. Smith opined that the victim’s death was a homicide, caused
by a gunshot wound to the back and resulting internal bleeding. Dr. Smith
stated that powder burns on the victim indicated thatthe muzzle of the gun
was within two feet from the victim at the time it was fired. Dr. Smith
related that the bullet, which he believed to be between a .22 and .45 caliber
in size, entered the victim’s back, traveled toward his front and downward,
causing injuries to his lung, diaphragm, pancreas, and small intestine, and
that he found the bullet in the victim’s abdominal cavity. Dr. Smith further
testified that the victim had another wound to his left forearm, caused by

                                      5
       something with a sharp edge, such


as metal or glass.

              The defense called Sergeant Ernestine Davidson of the Memphis
       Police Department as a witness. Sergeant Davidson stated that, at
       approximately 2:00 a.m. in the early morning after the murder and robbery,
       Ms. Harris initially did not want to come to the homicide bureau and talk to
       the police, but that she did come to the police station a few hours later that
       morning. Lieutenant William Woodard, also of the Memphis Police
       Department, testified that hefrom the case. The
trial court denied his request. From that point forward, Counsel brought an investigator
with him when he met with the Petitioner. Counsel described their relationship as
becoming “bearable” and confirmed that their relationship did not affect his trial
performance.

       Counsel said that, for the majority of the time he represented the Petitioner, the
only witness that the Petitioner offered was Markeith Wilson, his alibi witness. Counsel
said he had a letter to the Petitioner memorializing as much. Despite this, the
investigator, Don Gray, attempted to contact the entire list of witnesses provided by the
State. He said that a lot of the witnesses had warrants out for their arrest, so it was
difficult to get them to cooperate with an interview. His only option was to subpoena
them


The World Cup of Hockey is back, and this time around there are a couple of twists to the rosters of teams. You have your traditional national teams, but also a couple of wrinkles in Team North America -- aka the Young Guns -- and Team Europe, which is a pan-continent team made up of players not from countries with national teams. Confused? Good! Click on the rosters below and it will all fall into place, in addition to seeing how the lineups will align and what numbers the players are wearing.

Was it just four years ago these two guys dropped the gloves in a playoff game?Go around Team Canada's dressing room and you'll find a long list of personal rivalries that have been put on hold for the World Cup of Hockey. Or you might say, the hatred has been temporarily shelved for a month.

Many teams have been scrambling to fill in their rosters as players, many of whom had been working out in preparation for the tournament, have suddenly dropped out. The Czechs, already the weakest of the eight teams, have lost key personnel in David Krejci, Radko Gudas and Tomas Hertl.

Anze Kopitar is the captain. Zdeno Chara is on defense. But who else will this team ice and who will start in net?

LOS ANGELES -

Of all the ways to celebrate Black History Month, one little girl and her mother found a way to make it empowering AND super cute. In the case of Cristi Jones and her 5-year-old daughter Lola, the best way to look up to someone is to play dress up.

The mother and daughter have spent February recreating photos of iconic black women every day, and sharing them on Twitter.

With every prop, pose, and hairstyle Lola gets a little closer to the great women that came before her. She also learns about what made these

Participants completed 3 months of light resistance and flexibility exercises followed by 3 months of PRT. Tests of strength and function were completed at baseline, before PRT, and after PRT. After PRT, the subjects increased knee extension and leg press 1-repetition maximum by 72%+/-56% and 37%+/-30%, respectively. After 3 and 6 months of training, lower-extremity peak torques all increased. Specificity of training appeared to apply only to the nonfractured limb after PRT. Strong correlations were observed between training intensity and lower-extremity strength gains as well as improvements in measures of physical function.

Henry Ashton Highet, commonly known as Harry Highet, (27 January 1892 – 2 February 1989) was a New Zealand civil engineer famous for his 'P-class' yacht design. This class is famous for being the sailing trainer vessel for many new entrants into the sport, and virtually every famous New Zealand yachtsman, including Sir Peter Blake and Russell Coutts, learnt to sail in one.

Early life and family
Harry was born in Wellington in 1892, the son of Scottish immigrants Thomas Morton and Isabella Highet. He was the youngest of nine children. Harry's father was an ironmonger and worked at the Evans Bay Patent slip, introducing Harry to shipbuilding from a young age.

Harry's sister, Mary, married George Page, Mayor of Nelson from 1935 to 1941.

Fury follows a handful of big-name boxers into WWE

When Tyson Fury rose from the canvas in Los Angeles, the promoter of the man who put him there turned to the British media and privately said: "The guy must be The Undertaker to get up from that."

Perhaps Lou DiBella, the man behind Deontay Wilder on that chaotic night, was on to something. Not even a year on, we now know Fury will make an official foray into the organisation that made The Undertaker famous - WWE.

His 31 October bout with Braun Strowman will take place nine days before two YouTube stars engage in a professional boxing match and 23 days before a 55-year-old Nigel Benn returns to the ring. These are strange times.

Some will shake their heads at Fury'smove. Others will point a finger at the fact his WWE contest will be in Saudi Arabia, where not one of the organisation's female superstars have been allowed to compete at high-profile shows.

But on the flip side, this decorated boxer and incredible salesman has been sought out to again entertain. He will, unquestionably, set tongues wagging, just as he always does.

'His heart was set on it'

Former boxers Mike Tyson (left) and Floyd Mayweather (right) have made high-profile WWE appearances, while Muhammad Ali was a referee at the first WrestleMania in 1985

Make no mistake, this is not a case of anyone pushing Fury into an unexpected career move. His UK promoter Frank Warren said: "In an ideal world he'd be wrapped in cotton wool between fights, but it's not


and to WWE."

Fury will be paid handsomely, with online reports claiming WWE's revenues have grown external-link as a result of a 10-year deal in Saudi Arabia. Fury, like other big names on the card, will take his slice.

The question is whether the 31-year-old can make enough of an impact to drag even a tiny percentage of WWE viewers with him on the remainder of his boxing journey. If he can, this quick taste of the world of sports entertainment could prove lucrative in the long-term too.

From the pay-per-view buys, to ringside tickets and the signed 'Gypsy King' merchandise being sold in the arena on any given fight night, every new fan has the potential to boost the earnings of Fury and those involved in his career.

Karaoke, Batman anda savvy salesman

Fury and Strowman face off as WWE fight is confirmed

And if the chance to stimulate his already growing US profile is not enough, there is the comfort of knowing he follows esteemed boxing names into the carnage of WWE.

Muhammad Ali was a guest referee at WrestleMania I, Ricky Hatton knocked Chavo Guerrero out with a right hand in 2009, Floyd Mayweather overcame The Big Show - albeit with the help of a set of brass knuckles - and Mike Tyson flattened Shawn Michaels.

Fury, perhaps seen as a walking circus of his own by those observing from a distance, is a lucid thinker up close. He is savvy, streetwise and quite brilliant in the art of the sell. In many ways, he appears made for WWE.

From the


impromptu karaoke sessions in the ring after fights, to the Batman costume that annoyed Wladimir Klitschko, moments add up and draw in more followers.

"I refuse to use numbers or symbols because I want you to know how absolutely into this I am," tweeted one fan when Fury-Strowman became official.

Alfred Konuwa, who reports on WWE for Forbes, simply tweeted Fury-Strowman was a "fight I feel like I have to see".

WWE will hope such positivity continues as the organisation's viewing figures have fallen in recent years. external-link Its RAW product pulled in an average 4.1 million viewers in 2014 according to Forbes, who claim the weekly number is now under three million. external-link

Wilder wins too and has AJ helped Fury?

Fury, whose floral suit made him look like a Grand Theftcontroversial Saudi regime accused of masking human rights issues by paying huge sums to deliver big events.

At last year's WWE Crown Jewel event in the country, stars including John Cena and Daniel Bryan were said to have boycotted the show, external-link while the organisation faced criticism over no female superstars taking part.

Intriguingly, Fury may well benefit from the fact his British rival Anthony Joshua has already faced tough questions over his own fight in Saudi Arabia on 7 December. In some way, Joshua's team have already served up at least some answers to tricky questions.

It could be argued that each additional sporting event that lands in the Kingdom eases any sense of scandal and gets incrementally easier to explain away.

Right now, as he rides momentum in his career,


Fury seems to be flourishing in a care-free 'man of the people' persona. Joshua, so impeccably managed through his brilliant career to date, has questions to answer after a defeat in June which left some asking if his string of corporate backers were detracting from his fighting nature.

Much has changed since a bloated Fury sat on the sidelines while his compatriot swept up fans and honours.

On Saturday Fury tweeted: "Massive shout out world. I'm loving my life and all that are in it. Who would of thought this 18 months ago?"

With few teams possessing the requisite cap space, DeMarcus Cousins will not have a lot of suitors during the upcoming free agency period at the start of next month; however, the Dallas Mavericks are expected to be one of the few knocking on his door and that should worry the New Orleans Pelicans.

It’s no secret that Cousins is firmly on Mark Cuban’s radar. The Dallas owner, who has chased numerous elite players during his time at the helm, called Boogie a top 10 talent in the league three years ago, and the Mavericks were reported to “be near the front of the line” about eleven months later, preparing to pounce if the Kings dropped the ball in upcoming contract negotiations. Soon after, Jaleel Cousins, was catered to astwo games of the series against the Warriors. As a team, Houston made just 31.4% of their three point attempts against the World Champs — a far cry from their 36.2% regular season percentage; however, it was a historically inept shooting performance that really short-circuited the Rockets previously thought impossible upset bid chances.

Houston broke an NBA playoff record in Game 7, missing 27 consecutive bombs from the outside. After Eric Gordon connected on a three with 6:43 remaining in the second quarter, the Rockets led by 14 points. For the rest of the game, their team knocked down just one of 30 three-point attempts. Literally, everything that could go wrong on offense did, yet the Golden State Warriors didn’t put a bow tie on the victory until late.


A one-time professional wrestler turned neo-Nazi leader grappled with God and found Christ’s forgiveness.

Keith “Duke” Schneider, a.k.a. ‘Pitbull,’ excelled as a professional wrestler, taking on some of his toughest competitors without a second thought.

His wrestling career started at James Madison High School where he won the first place trophy for light heavyweight wrestling.

He soon found that the years of physical abuse he suffered at the hands of his bipolar mother and obese older sister produced a high tolerance for pain.

Duke recalls the childhood beatings he endured and how he found a way to escape through watching Nazi documentaries.

"They were strong," he said.

'Nobody Was Ever Gonna Hurt Me Again'

He survived the terrible abuse by keeping one thought in mind – that one day he’d be strong enough that nowon the match by nearly breaking the leg of his 325-pound antagonist.

Duke said the two became great friends, noting that at that time in pro-wrestling, there was an air of civility in the ring. “There is no greater respect and no greater camaraderie than there is between two men who are willing to go head to head with everything they have,” Duke tells CBN News.

After retiring from the ring, Duke went into the personal security business. It was then that he was employed by an African-American woman named Catherine Boone who was running from an abusive relationship.

Soon Duke moved his client, Catherine, into a room in his home where he provided protection for her.

An Obsession with Nazism

One day, however, Catherine was assaulted by skinheads while coming home. The


incident gave Duke the idea to infiltrate the group and expose their wrongdoings.

Soon the retired grappler found a new home for his particular set of skills among members of the National Socialist Movement. While Duke had planned to infiltrate the group, instead, he soon found the movement tapped into his long fascination with Nazism. Before long his unhealthy fascination became an obsession.

From 2005 until 2012, Schneider served as a leader and strategist for the movement, but all along he had one little secret living in his own home – Catherine Boone.

The friend he had once taken into his home for security became his spiritual protector. Though Duke was an unbeliever, Catherine believed in the power of prayer.

While Duke was out at the national Nazi rallies, which often becameviolent, Catherine was at home calling on Jesus for his safety.

She had good reason to be concerned. According to Duke, one time he was in Los Angeles for a rally when they got word the notorious gang MS13 was planning to shoot their commander, Jeff Schoep.

This kind of imminent danger would make most men run, but not Duke. Instead, he took the lead at the rally and told his men, “The shooter will have to kill me first!”

With hundreds of men under his command, Duke was fully committed to the cause in mind and body.

A Grim Diagnosis

Meanwhile, back in Brooklyn, Catherine often laid out his photos on the bed calling on the power of God on his behalf. God heard her prayers and answered in a very distinct


way.

One day, during a routine check-up by his physician, Duke was given an unexpected diagnosis. This man of steel who felt no pain in the ring, a man who broke several bones and was known for his tenacity, melted at the sound of one word -- cancer.

Doctors found an 8-centimeter sized tumor in Duke's throat and determined it was riddled with cancerous cells. The thought of dying from thyroid cancer made this ultimate tough guy “break out in a cold sweat,” he said.

That night he told Catherine he was going to die, but she said not so. She was convinced that God was going to heal him.

Then Catherine seized the opportunity and invited him to come to church to meet her pastor and surprisingly he agreed. In adivine moment, Pastor Michael Beck ministered to Duke telling, him he needed to renounce Nazism and accept Christ.

Duke Answers the Call to Salvation

Duke, who was totally unchurched and came from a home where the only time “God’s name was mentioned was in vain,” answered the call to salvation.

Within days he was standing in front of the members of the House of Prayer church confessing his sins and publicly declaring Jesus as Lord. The faith-filled congregation rejoiced and the elders laid hands on him believing God to heal him from cancer.

According to Duke, the doctors removed the tumor only to report that it was miraculously benign and there was no sign of cancer anywhere else in his body.

Furthermore, the physician said he did not need chemotherapy or radiation treatment.

“I


know that it was God's miracle that did it,” said Duke.

Within days of his surgery, Duke, now a new man with a second chance at life, married Catherine.

The man who was raised in what he calls a “godless” home with parents “who denied the existence of any God,” now had a personal relationship with the God of the universe.

Renouncing Nazism

The next step in his new life was to confront the SS. He called the commander, the man who he had once been willing to die for, to officially renounce his affiliation.

When he was asked for the reason behind his sudden departure, Duke replied that he was miraculously healed from cancer, he was marrying a black woman and moreover, “I have given my soul to the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Beforelong, Duke was using his skills to protect the very groups he once targeted. Duke tells CBN News it was a form of "spiritual restitution" to patrol the grounds of a synagogue, keeping them safe from anti-Semitic vandals.

The former neo-Nazi thinks most people who are interested in the Nazi lifestyle come from dysfunctional homes just like the one he grew up in. He says these wayward souls “simply are looking for someone that will listen to them when they speak.”

Now, he says he “advise(s) anyone that has an interest in becoming a Nazi to seek Christ first.”

While Duke no longer works at the synagogue, he's still working for the Lord. He's now replaced Hitler's Mein Kempf with his favorite Proverbs and he says, “I have long since renounced


Toy Fair 2019 has secured an impressive 81 per cent re-booking rate of returning exhibitors, excluding the Greenhouse Area, in less than three months since the end of the 2018 show.

Police were called to the park on 23 February following the death of the 31-year-old woman, which they initially treated as suicide. No crime scene investigation was carried out.

Moreno said she found that puzzling, given the amount of blood at the scene. The woman, apparently depressed, had swallowed a number of tranquilisers. She was then approached by a man who raped her so brutally that she died of internal injuries.

Nine of us came from the US to support the people of Venezuela in rejecting the US economic sanctions that were imposed by the State Departments because, apparently, Venezuela sent two shipments of oil product to Iran.

During the Clinton regime, the US enacted The Iran Sanctions Act (ISA)--ironically first called the Iran-Libya Sanctions Act (ILSA)--but then Libya became our friend during the Bush stain before it recently became our enemy again (dizzy,thing, there is a hysterical Congressman from a very conservative district in Florida named, Connie Mack (R), who has been jonesing for the overthrow or assassination of President Hugo Chavez because Chavez had and continues to have the nerve to take from the excess wealth of the rich to give to the poor. Clearly, Chavez’s support of the poor runs counter to everything the oligarchy of the planet believes in. The Constitution of the Bolivarian Republica of Venezuela, written by representatives of the people in 1999, enshrines basic human rights as law in a country that has reduced the gap between the rich and the poor by 50% since Chavez achieved power.
