fall. Others broke bones. Many of those who survived were burned badly. And, of course, many never got out of the building at all.

Ninety-two students and three nuns perished in the fire that would change building codes and the lives of everyone present that day.

The vast majority of students survived, but not unscathed. Some lost siblings or best friends. And many were plagued by the feelings Jim Grosso described-anger, guilt and sadness.

"They were told not to talk about it," said Carolen King a clinical social worker with a private practice in Oak Park who was in first grade at the school that day (and lost an older brother in the fire).

"Most of the kids got out, but they still experienced trauma-and the after-effects of a school and communityattempting to come back."

"Post-traumatic stress syndrome" hadn't been identified yet and in this Catholic, blue-collar neighborhood made up of Italian, Irish and Polish immigrant families, stoicism and respect for authority were the rule, so everyone shut up and tried to get back to normal.

Jim Grosso did the same. He graduated from the new (and vastly improved, from a fire safety standpoint) Our Lady of the Angels, attended Fenwick, then Loyola University, served a stint in the military, got married and bought a house in Oak Park in 1974. He and his wife raised three boys, with Jim working as a manufacturing engineer in the automotive industry, then switching to information technology. He's now a private consultant.

But his childhood remained off limits until he came across Kuenster and Cowan's


book. He could only read it a little at a time over a long period of time, but he read it. Then in 2003, his wife came across a Web site for Friends of Our Lady of the Angels (www.olafire.com/Friends of OLA). He noticed a meeting was scheduled to organize reunion events, and against his better judgment, decided to attend.

"All the way there I was having second thoughts," he recalls. "Then I looked down and noticed I was speeding."

When he arrived and met some of his old classmates, he said, "I felt an overwhelming sense of relief."

In 2004, the class of 1962 held its first ever reunion. Sixty percent of the class showed up. It wasn't uncomfortable at all starting conversations with people he hadn't seen in 42years.

"I learned not to hold things in, to keep an open mind," he said. "I had assumed my whole youth was a bad place. I didn't talk about it. I didn't think about it. I found out that was exactly the wrong thing to do."

He stayed involved and became one of the organizers of the 50th anniversary memorial Mass, held last Sunday at Holy Family Church (Our Lady of the Angels parish no longer exists-a Baptist congregation uses the church and a charter school now occupies the school building).

Grosso, his wife, and sons Adam and Mike are musicians, so they helped make up the choir and band, and were joined by a famous fellow alum, Jonathan Cain, keyboardist for the rock band Journey (co-writer of the hit "Don't


Stop Believin'"). Cain was a third-grader on that fateful day and still known by his given name, Leonard Friga. Cain composed a song for Sunday's gathering, "The Day They Became Angels," which he played at the Mass. The song is available free on his Web site (www.jonathancain.com), but he also had a thousand CDs to hand out to those in attendance.

Good thing he brought that many.

"We had received responses indicating about 400 people would be coming," Grosso said. "We optimistically expected around 600, but we ran out of programs after giving out 1,000 half an hour before Mass started. Our best guess is 1,200 to 1,300 were there."

Carolen King was one of them, along with numerous members of her family. The first thing she noticed was how manythe kinks are worked out.

Maddon is putting the Rays through fielding drills where they continue the play even after recording the presumed third out, just on the off-chance that out is overturned by review. On the other side, Rays runners are being told to keep running after a third out is made, because if that's overturned, umpires are likely to award the other runners on the basepaths their next base.

Maddon wanted to keep his tactics a secret, but during yesterday's game reporters noticed the Rays playing through the third out, and he was forced to acknowledge it.

"I know there's going to be some definites written down, but there's still going to be some gray that pops up that had not been thought about, or interpreted differently at the

EU leaders are wary of putting the Greek issue back on the top table. They did it last year when the risk of a Greek exit from the eurozone was felt to be real.

"We are not there yet," an EU source said Wednesday.

Greek officials and representatives from the quartet of lenders - the European Commission, the European Central Bank, the European Stability Mechanism and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) - failed to reach an agreement on so-called contingency measures.

The lenders want Greece to approve austerity measures that would be implemented if the country missed targets for the budget primary surplus (the surplus before the payment of interest on the public debt) set forPROGRAM INFORMATION

what was going on and the President let it out early. GS knew through its connections, so it was making its call as well.

Is it a big deal? It might smell a bit fishy, but it happened back in President Clinton's days when Labor Secretary Reich let the jobless numbers slip after he had been in office for just three months. It is no big deal and it did not affect anything. The die was cast, the market was ready to move on the number, and it did. It triggered a nice move in all of the consumer discretionary areas, along with housing and financials.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for controlling atomization of fuel by mixing air, capable of saving fuel and decreasing emission without deteriorating the driving feeling of the internal combustion engine during warming up thereof.
When the temperature of engine is low, the fuel discharged into the intake pipe attach to the intake valve and walls around the intake valve and is then evaporated and sucked into the cylinder. Therefore, a certain time lag of supply of fuel is caused as compared with the fuel supply after the warming up of the engine. In consequence, a large amount of noxious gases is emitted from the engine in the cold state, i.e. during warming up, to impose a serious problem from the view point of restriction of exhaust emission.
AlthoughIn an emergency of a vehicle, a seat belt device stops paying out of a seat belt by means of a retractor. Furthermore, a pretensioner provided in the seat belt device pulls the seat belt. At this time, the pretensioner moves a piston in a cylinder to pull a wire with the piston, using gas generated by a gas generator. By pulling the seat belt with the wire, the seat belt is tightened. An occupant is restrained to a seat by the seat belt and is protected.
In a conventionally known pretensioner, a piston moving in a cylinder pulls a wire attached to a seat belt (see PTL 1).
In such a conventional pretensioner, one end of the wire is inserted into a hole in the piston and is fixed


to the piston by a tubular wire end. At this time, by crushing the wire end, the wire end is fixed to the end of the wire. When the piston moves, the wire is pulled by the piston, and then pulls the seat belt.
When the pretensioner is activated, the wire needs to be reliably secured to the piston by the wire end. To achieve this, by increasing the length of the wire end (a portion to be crushed), the wire end is securely fixed to the end of the wire.
Therefore, in the conventional pretensioner, the length and weight of the piston, including the wire end, tend to increase in response to an increase in the holding power of the wire. Furthermore, because a length of a portion ofand Trans Union now move for summary judgment under Rule 56, Fed.R.Civ.P.

Background
TRW and Trans Union are credit reporting agencies. Subscribing companies report to such agencies both the credit information they obtain when they grant credit to a consumer and the payment history of the consumer. Credit reporting agencies then compile a credit report on the consumer to distribute to other subscribers from whom the consumer has requested credit.
The plaintiff's amended complaint alleges that on or about June 27, 1991, he became aware that an unknown third party or parties had obtained credit from Diners Club, Salon and Nissan in plaintiff's name without his knowledge or authorization. This resulted in debts accruing against plaintiff which were not paid. At the same time, plaintiff learned that Diners Club, Nissan and


inquiries about an individual's credit rating may be directed.
According to the affidavit of Carolyn S. Helm, a Consumer Affairs Special Services Specialist in TRW's information systems and services division, located in Allen, Texas, that office of TRW received plaintiff's July 2, 1991 letter on July 11. In preparing her affidavit, sworn to on March 8, 1995, Helm reviewed the pertinent documents still existing in the TRW's files. Helm states that on July 11, 1991, the day her division received plaintiff's letter, TRW "reinvestigated the [Salon] accounts by sending a CDV to Salon Furniture indicating that plaintiff disputed the accounts as not belonging to him." Affidavit ¶ 10.
A "CDV" is a Consumer Dispute Verification form. TRW sends that form to subscribers who have reported disputed accounts. The CDV asksinto Helm's hands. She accessed a TRW credit report about plaintiff, dated March 11, 1994, which showed an indebtedness by plaintiff to Salon since July 1991. Helm tried to verify the account by telephone with Salon. Salon refused to verify the account by telephone or fax. Helm sent a CDV form to Salon by mail on March 21, 1994, indicating that plaintiff disputed the account. On March 22, 1994 Helm removed the Salon account from plaintiff's credit report, pending Salon's return of the CDV form. On April 1, 1994, TRW received the form from Salon with the notation that the account was "not on system." Helm affidavit at ¶ 12. TRW has not included the Salon account on plaintiff's credit report since it was deleted on March 22,


inaccurate reports from his credit history statement during the period from April 1992 though March 1994. Plaintiff also complains that Trans Union reported these inaccurate debts to Daily Reporting Services.
On April 18, 1992, plaintiff went to the Salon Warehouse in Hoboken, New Jersey. According to plaintiff's deposition testimony he met there with an individual named Valez, who acknowledged that plaintiff was not the purchaser of the items in question. Plaintiff testified that in his presence Valez prepared a two-page fax transmission and sent it as plaintiff watched. Valez gave plaintiff a copy of the fax. It consists of two pages. The first page, bearing a Salon caption, indicated that the fax was being transmitted to Trans Union. It contained instructions to delete a fraud account. The second pageEileen Little, testified by deposition that plaintiff's protest letter dated December 3, 1993 worked its way to her department on January 10, 1994. Having reviewed Trans Union's records, Little testified that when she received plaintiff's complaint, the Nissan debt was no longer listed on the his credit report. CDVs were sent to Diners Club and Salon. On the basis of Diners Club's response, Trans Union deleted that item from plaintiff's credit report. Salon made no response, and Trans Union deleted that item for that reason. Trans Union sent plaintiff a corrected copy of his credit report in February 1994, with all disputed items having been deleted.
After plaintiff filed this suit on February 8, 1994, Little was shown a copy of the apparent April 18, 1992 fax from Salon


the FRCA damages issues in the form of an alternative holding.
A principal item of plaintiff's claimed damages is the lost of an opportunity to participate in a real estate investment venture with an entrepreneur named Scott Jaffee. Jaffee testified by deposition. Jaffee was considering the purchase of two residential real estate properties in Florida. The evidence makes it clear that Jaffee was considering joining with plaintiff in this venture, with plaintiff undertaking to furnish most of the money, but that Jaffee abandoned any thought of doing business with plaintiff after Jaffee obtained, through Daily Reporting Service, copies of plaintiff's credit reports containing the unfavorable information, including the Salon account.
To sustain a claim under the FCRA a plaintiff must prove that inaccurate information in a credit report caused himrating after maintaining a good credit reputation since 1932. Second, Stevenson was denied credit three times during TRW's reinvestigation: by Bloomingdale's, by Bank One, and by Gabbert's Furniture Company. Stevenson testified that he had to go "had in hand" to the president of Bank One, who was a business associate and friend, to explain his problems with TRW. As a result, he obtained credit at Bank One. Third, Stevenson had to explain his credit woes to the president of First City Bank in Colleyville when he opened an account there. When a new president at First City Bank, Stevenson had to explain his situation again. despite the fact that he was ultimately able to obtain credit, Stevenson testified to experiencing "considerable embarrassment" from having to detail to business


the recent Rivers Investors’ Forum which attracted international leaders and investors including immediate past prime minister of Britain, Gordon Brown, and the agric investment magnet in Belgium, Pierre Vendebeeck, chief executive of Siat NV.

A top government source in Government House, Port Harcourt confirmed the decision of Dangote to storm the energy city with billions of dollars, saying the investment would span the petrochemical industry including methane, ethanol and fertiliser sub-sectors. Thousands of jobs are expected to gush out of the energy city project while subcontractors and suppliers as well as revenue sources for government are expected huge sizes.

Dangote would not be lacking competitors in his striving to venture into the petrochemical industry. There is the proposed $6 billion petrochemical project said to be the largest in Africa beinghe said, provides the regulatory framework for collaboration between the state and the private sector.

He said, “Our PPP law provides for viability funding gap where necessary, showing our determination to lean heavily in favour of the investor”.

Dangote is said to have been made to appreciate the fact that “Rivers State is the nerve centre of the Nigerian economy, accounting for 10 percent of the nation’s GDP, according to World Bank statistics”. The governor said the state accounts for over 40 percent of crude oil produced on-shore in the country and 100 percent of the liquefied natural gas exports from Nigeria. The state, according to him, is also quite attractively positioned, being the economic hub of the South South and South East regions of Nigeria. With its accessibility by


Soso Baratashvili, lawyer of Demirel college manager Mustafa Emre Çabuk, will appeal to Tbilisi City Court today. As the lawyer told InterPressNews, they will appeal against the decision of the Ministry of Internally Displaced Persons from the Occupied Territories, Accommodation and Refugees of Georgia, according to which, Çabuk and his family members were refused to be granted a refugee status.

Non-parliamentary parties believe that the Venice Commission's proposal is a serious chance of exerting pressure on the government to suspend the review of the constitutional amendments adopted in the second reading.

According to Tengiz Pkhaladze, Secretary of Foreign Relations of the President of Georgia, the initiative of the President, which envisages the appointment of US special representative for Georgia, is of utmost importance and now we have to talk aboutthe mechanisms for quick implementation of the initiative.

The Tbilisi City Court denied the motion of Mikheil Saakashvili's lawyer regarding the postponement of the trial on embezzlement of budgetary funds for an "indefinite term". According to Judge Badri Kochlamazashvili, the position of the defense is "unjustified and the right to a fair trial will be protected despite the absence of citizenship".

Venice Commission President Gianni Buquicchio has replied to the Co-ordination Council of qualified parties of Georgia with a letter, in which he offered a meeting to the opposition and the ruling party in Strasbourg on 6 September.

According to Tbilisi Mayor Davit Narmania, the information spread by one of the media outlets and the National Movement, according to which, the ruling party activists were employed in the Tbilisi City Hall


ahead of the elections, is a lie.

According to former President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili, he has a working visa of the United States. As Mikheil Saakashvili said in an interview with the Georgian bureau of the Voice of America, the working visa expires at the end of the next year.

The US support in the process of peaceful settlement of the Georgian-Russian conflict is crucial, - the Prime Minister of Georgia, Giorgi Kvirikashvili, said at the press conference held together with Vice President of the United States Mike Pence.

Last season Hot Streak established himself as one of the top juvenile sprinters with victory in the Group 3 Cornwallis Stakes at Ascot, before going down by half a length to Astaire in the Group 1 Middle Park.

Redvers, speaking in the Racing Post's Monday Jury, said: "One horse who excites me is our own Hot Streak, who ran a great race under a three-year-old penalty.

"Given the finish was fought out by two Group 1 horses, I thought it was a massive


run. With progress, he could be crowned sprinter of the year."

Redvers was joined on jury duty by Frankie Dettori and Johnny Murtagh, with the latter impressed by Australia's run in the 2,000 Guineas as a trial for the Investec Derby.

Murtagh said: "Australia looks the one for the Derby. As trials for Epsom go, I'm sure Aidan O'Brien will be thrilled. Australia is bred to be even better over a mile and a half, and he ticks all the boxes at this stage."

Tem Tacacá na Tietê – Tacacá is a dish common to the main cities in the Amazon region. At 5 o’clock everyday, people enjoy tacacá from the stalls on the streets and city squares. Tacacá is an exotic Amazonian broth prepared with tucupi (a liquid extracted from the manioc in Amazonia), jambu (an herb that provokes a light and pleasant slightly numb sensation in the tongue), tapioca paste and dried shrimp. It is eaten from a gourd, without a spoon. We love tacacá and that’s why we decided to put it on our menu and also to serve it once a month on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant and named this projectTem Tacacá na Tietê.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The Florida Department of Health (DOH) released results from the 2011 Florida Youth Tobacco Survey (FYTS) showing a decrease in cigarette smoking rates among Florida middle school and high school students.

In 2011, 11.9 percent of high school students and 3.5 percent of middle school students reported current cigarette use, meaning they had smoked a cigarette at least once during the past 30 days. Compared to last year, this data shows a decrease of 9.2 percent among high school students and a decrease of 28.6 percent among middle school students. More significantly, since the Tobacco Free Florida campaign launched in 2007, 17.9 percent fewer high school students and 42.6 percent fewer middle school students in Florida were current cigarettes smokers.

This paper promotes the use of self-reflective enquiry through practitioner research to address the research question How can I encourage more equal participation of students in group discussions? The research is located in two consecutive continuing professional development modules for nurses caring for older people. The development of the research question is tracked through student evaluation of the modules. Background theory is presented in relation to both student interaction and the teacher's role in group learning and the method of enquiry, practitioner research. Two action cycles are undertaken and described in which a critical friend is asked to record student interaction with the use of a sociogram. The findings identify that controlling

The music, also by Jonsson, is catchy and tuneful, drawing heavily on Aladdin Sane-era David Bowie as well as the more anthemic side of 80s new wave pop, with a bit of metal crunch or goth horror in the tenser moments. The band – Matt Basile on bass, Bryn Roberts on keyboards, John Kengla and Rob Ritchie on guitars plus a terse, swinging drummer who somehow managed not to let an injured leg in a thigh-high boot stop him – play with dynamics and intensity.

Offence was taken to Cyderdelic's reference to Christ and also to a crucifix shown covered in excrement.

The complaint was originally rejected by the BBC's complaints department.

But on appeal, the Governors Programme Complaints Committee decided the show did breach guidelines on causing religious offence.

In its decision it said that while Cyderdelic, which was narrated by the late John Peel, went out in a late time slot on an experimental channel it had still broken BBC Producers' Guidelines.

One of these states that "deep offence will be caused by profane references or disrespect, whether verbal of visual, directed at deities, scriptures, holy days and rituals which are at


the heart of various religions".

Regret

The original complaint was rejected on the grounds that the remarks were in keeping with the "ludicrous pretensions" of the character involved.

It was also said that because only one complaint was received it "suggested that viewers in general had not understood the humour as the complainant had".

The producer of the show, Karen Rosie, had however offered her regret at the offence caused.

BBC Three recently dropped its controversial animation series Popetown before it was even aired, fearing it would offend Catholics.

Channel controller Stuart Murphy decided the series, set in a fictional Vatican, crossed the line between "scurrilously funny and the offensive".ordered the FFA's 10-seat congress be expanded to become more inclusive, democratic and representative of female participants with a new model having the support of the state member federations, the A-League clubs and the players' union. State member federations sent through a 15-seat model to FIFA and information received indicates FFA's similar model is based on that of the states, with several key requirements omitted.

The FFA is attempting to have that model approved by a majority of 75 per cent of its current 10-seat congress, where nine seats are held by the state member federations and just one representing the A-League clubs. The FFA confirmed it will not have the unanimous support required by FIFA.

Russia suspends Europe arms pact

Russian parliament drops participation in arms control treaty with Europe.

07 Nov 2007 10:39 GMT

Putin has demanded Nato member states ratify an updated version of the treaty [AFP]

The decision comes amid increasing Russian anger over US efforts to build a missile defence system in eastern Europe.

The vote amounted to legislative confirmation of a decision to freeze Russian adherence to the pact, already announced by Vladimir Putin, the president, in July.

The CFE treaty was modified in 1999 to take account of the break-up of the Soviet Union, but Russia is the only country to have ratified the new version.

A senior Russian official said Wednesday's vote did not mean Russia was withdrawing from the updated pact, only that it wanted Nato member states to ratify and complywith it as Moscow had done.

The move will take effect on December 12, after final approval by the upper house of parliament and Putin.

Further compromise

Nato countries have said they would only ratify a revised version of the CFE treaty once Moscow has lived up to a pledge made in 1999 to pull its troops out of the former Soviet republics of Georgia and Moldova.

Sergei Kislyak, the deputy foreign minister, said: "Before thinking of any big, new agreements we need our partners to fulfill what they have already agreed to."

Shortly before the vote, a top defence official said Russia was weighing the possibility of increasing force deployments on its western flank in light of suspension of the CFE treaty.

Fogs were relatively common in London in the 1700s, but by the early 1800s these had become deadly, as the smoke and fumes from industrialisation and urban growth were trapped by calm, still air. It was not just the pollution that was a threat to life and health, but also the traffic, and newspapers were full of tragic stories of accidents: in


the conscience of humanity.”

And FDR’s Secretary of State Cordell Hull wrote in his memoirs that the State Department was quick to support the League of Nations which on Sept. 27, 1937, “solemnly condemned the bombing of open towns in China by Japanese planes and declared that ‘no excuse can be made for such acts which have aroused horror and indignation throughout the world.'” This stance was later supported by the Vatican, which termed the nuclear bombings a “catastrophic conclusion to the war’s apocalyptic surprises.”

Not only were the nuclear attacks upon overwhelmingly civilian targets inexcusable, but the U.S. and its British allies earlier had firebombed much of Germany and Japan. In all, by the end of WWII, more than 7 million Germans and eight million Japanese had been bombedout of their homes, and estimates of those killed have run as high as 1 million in each country. Compare this to Hitler’s bombing of Guernica in April, 1937, that killed 1,650 people and left nearly 900 wounded—yet was universally (and rightly) condemned.

The comparison here is that by the end of the war the U.S. had adopted the tactics of the fascists it denounced at the beginning of the war. Compounding this tragedy has been the refusal of Japan to apologize to China for invading that nation and the refusal of President Obama to apologize to Japan and Germany for America’s massacres of their civilian populations. While we’re at it, the British might apologize for the 1945 incendiary attack on Dresden that killed about 50,000 civilians in a

“The same can be said for the fire-bombing of Tokyo which was patterned upon the fire-bombing of Dresden,” Boyle continued. “Likewise, the Bush Jr. Administration’s torture scandal constituted war crimes and crimes against humanity under international criminal law.”

Obama Accessory After The Fact To Torture and War Crimes

A crowdfunding backer of Retro Computers Ltd has won his court claim for a refund against the Brit company for failing to deliver its promised product.

The court, in south England, also ruled that Indiegogo’s terms and conditions were not relevant to the claim.

At Luton County Court this morning District Judge Clarke ruled that Retro Computers Ltd (RCL) had formed a direct contract of sale with Rob Morton of Mickleover, Derby, England. Morton had paid the company for delivery of one of the first hundred ZX Spectrum Vega Plus consoles it offered through Indiegogo in February 2016.

Judgement was entered against RCL for the sum of £584, made up of the £85 initial discount price for Morton's Vega Plus, the £5 postage for the device, and travel costs plus lossof earnings for Morton himself and his two witnesses, Paul Andrews and Darren Melbourne.

Two years ago RCL offered its Vega Plus console to the public through the Indiegogo website. It has since failed to materialise, though the company has repeatedly insisted that it is still trading and still intends to deliver the product. Morton, who had backed RCL's previous Sinclair ZX Spectrum Vega product, received an email from RCL in early 2016 urging him to sign up for a Vega Plus. He told the court that he had asked for a refund 45 times without success.

Dr David Levy, chairman of RCL, failed to attend the hearing. In an amended witness statement served the night before the hearing he claimed that he was too scared to attend because he


of its keenest, and funniest, expression in Katchadourian’s Seat Assignment: a series of photographs—latterly also video and sound—made entirely in flight, with her camera phone. A subset of this series found unexpected celebrity in 2011 when her group of Self-Portraits in the Flemish Style were taken up by mainstream media outlets such as the New Yorker and even Oprah Winfrey’s website. (In March 2010, she spontaneously tricked herself up in an airplane bathroom, using tissue and paper toilet-seat covers, as a figure out of Flemish portraiture; many more such images followed.) But the admittedly hilarious Flemish pictures are just one small part of a much larger corpus of curious improvisations. In more recent images, for example, two small figures train a telescope on a night sky dominated bya salt or sugar constellation, and ectoplasmic clouds obscure photographed faces. The series has begun to splinter into more subseries—Landscapes, High-Altitude Spirit Photography, Creatures, Athletics, Disasters, even Top Doctors in America—all made with in-flight magazines, airplane food, and the crude lighting effects available at Katchadourian’s aisle seat.

The comic register broached by Wentworth and Katchadourian feels light, almost frivolous, but it has something profound to say about the effort and pleasure involved in breaking habits of looking or not looking, of paying a new sort of attention. (I suspect that part of the appeal of Seat Assignment is in our envy that Katchadourian is the

However, ever since it was discovered in 1748, excavations at the Pompeii site have offered some valuable insight into how the people of the Roman city lived.

Picturesque frescoes exhumed in several buildings believed to have been brothels depict exotic and beautiful women serving young clients. The murals were used to arouse clients and even acted as guides for inexperienced patrons - ancient cheat-sheets for the men to refer to.

However, the sex workers' lives were very different from that portrayed in the glamorous murals, writes Classics professor Marguerite Johnson.

One brothel - called the Lupanar - was discovered in the 19th century but closed to


were other men.

However, Johnson notes that some sexual practices between sex slaves and men were prohibited: free men couldn't be submissive, for instance.

Sex worker reviews

In addition to the excavations in the brothels, graffiti carved on walls around the city offered insights on how the sex trade of Pompeii worked. The graffiti was a mix of sexual advice, referrals to specific prices or techniques and "reviews" of sex workers' performances. For instance, one reads "Thrust slowly," while another states: "Euplia sucks for five dollars" - the rate is a rough conversion of "asses", the currency used in Pompeii.

Johnson writes that it was common practice for men to visit sex workers in ancient Italy. Wives were only of use for procreation. Out of respect for their spouses, the husbands wouldrather pay for sex, which was legal. However, adultery - free of charge - was forbidden.

The graffiti provides information about the kind of services the prostitutes would offer, sometimes in a graphic manner. Johnson also notes that men could ask sex workers for sexual practices that could not be performed by respectable women, such as anal sex or fellatio.

Brothels allowed for men to experiment with their sexuality while preserving their good reputations and served as a "type of social and moral policing of the institution of marriage", she says.

Pompeii was wiped out by the eruption of Vesuvius although the 25 metres of lava covering its remains has protected the ruins from the ravages of time.

Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal on Wednesday chided Pakistan minister Fawad Chaudhary over his recent provocative remarks concerning Punjabis in Indian Army saying it shows his “frustrations” and “nefarious designs”.

Chaudhary received a lot of flak from Indian leaders and netizens over his recent comments that Punjabis who are the part of Indian Army should deny duty in Kashmir.

Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh also hit out at Chaudhary over his remarks on twitter and asked him to stop trying to interfere in India’s internal affairs.

This all began on Tuesday afternoon when Chaudhry took to Twitter to ask all “Punjabis in the Indian army to refuse to be part of injustice and deny duty in Kashmir”.

Responding to it, Harsimrat said that Chaudhry’s tweet showed

The WTA Championships bring together the top eight players in the world and begin with round-robin play Tuesday in Istanbul.

The top two finishers from each group advance to the semifinals.

Third-ranked Maria Sharapova has pulled out because of a shoulder injury and Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli has retired.

Here are the five things to know about the tournament, which moves to Singapore for the next five years:

---

THE GROUPS

The eight players are divided into two groups. The Red Group consists of Serena Williams, Petra Kvitova, Agnieszka Radwanska and Angelique Kerber. The White Group has Victoria Azarenka, Li Na, Sara Errani and Jelena Jankovic.

The top-ranked Williams is the heavy favorite going into the last big event of the season. The American is the defending champion and is coming off her best seasonwith 10 titles.

Williams, making her eighth appearance in the event, is looking to become the first player to successfully defend the title since Justine Henin in 2007.

Williams has clinched the year-end No. 1 ranking for the third time in her career after 2002 and 2009. She won the French Open and U.S. Open this season and has 17 Grand Slam titles. She regained the No. 1 ranking in February.

---

THE STREAK

The longest championships winning streak was compiled by Martina Navratilova, who won 21 straight matches in winning five titles between 1983 and 1986 and reaching the quarterfinals in 1987.

The second-longest win streaks in tournament history went to Chris Evert and Monica Seles, who each won 12 matches in a row.

Williams enters this year's tournament with a 10-match winning streak


at the event, winning titles in 2009 and 2012 and not competing in 2010 and 2011. She also won the event in 2001.

---

AZARENKA'S THREAT

If anyone can challenge Williams for the title, it should be the second-ranked Azarenka.

Azarenka, who won the Australian Open, is the only other 2013 Grand Slam champion in the event.

Williams has lost twice to Azarenka this year: in Doha in February, the day after regaining the top ranking from her rival, and in Cincinnati in August after leading for most of the match.

But Williams then defeated Azarenka to win the U.S. Open in the longest final in 30 years.

Azarenka, however, has been struggling recently, losing in the second round in Tokyo and in the first round in Beijing, when she had 15 double-faults.

JANKOVIC'S COMEBACK

Jankovic, onceranked No. 1, is back in the top 10 for the first time since 2010 and will be playing her fifth WTA Championship.

She credits her brother Marko for helping her get there.

Jankovic said that at 28, she did not feel old.

"People like Serena, at 32, she's playing her best tennis and having the best year of her career, and I think that inspires all of us," Jankovic said.


I wouldn't hold my breath for this yet.
Unless Austin and NJ will be like Nurburgring and Hockenheim, hosting Grand Prix of United States in alternate years? That's probably why they propose to be 2013. Where Austin to be 2012.

Who knows? I recall Bernie and FOTA both mentioning that the goal is to have 'multiple' grand prix in the United States. The question is whether there is demand for more than one grand prix a year...and I'm not sure, unless they can really raise the popularity of the sport here.

The idea itself isn't bad. There's a large international community on the east coast, and quite a large F1 community in this area. Plus, the draw for the circuit will be having one of the largest tourist centers in theare willing to spend big for the chance to experience guns firsthand, contributing to China’s booming overseas travel sector — last year, outbound trips by Chinese tourists reached a record 130.5 million. In 2014, media reported that Jack Ma, the founder of internet titan Alibaba, had hunted stags on a trip to Scotland with friends.

Last year’s Texas trip was spurred by an interest in weapons Mao has had since he was a toddler, when his parents gave him a picture-filled gun encyclopedia. When the internet became more popular, he would look up


military hardware news and videos online. Mao, now 31, considers trophy hunting “senseless” but feels that hunting boars — which are wildly overpopulated in Texas — can be justified.

Ge Lu, the 31-year-old chief executive of Joy One World, was also drawn to hunting through guns. Growing up, she loved gun-packed movies and video games, and she traveled to a number of overseas shooting ranges in her 20s. Ge thought she’d done it all, but on her inaugural trip to Texas, she was amazed at the range of weapons available to try — from machine guns to antique rifles — and got her first taste of hunting. She now describes the activity as a “battle of wits and courage” that can help improve fitness and build mental endurance.

With 30 years’ hunting experience, Wang Wei is an old hand in China’s young hunting tourism scene. In 2002, Wang founded Beijing-based Zheng’an Safari Club, which offers trips to countries including Serbia, South Africa, and Spain. Wang says there’s a surprising benefit to hunting tourism: poverty alleviation. When Wang took groups of foreign hunters to remote, undeveloped western Chinese provinces such as Gansu, he was stunned at the potential profit that hunting could bring to impoverished locals. Foreign hunting trips to China were halted in 2006, but before then, foreigners were prepared to pay up to $20,000 to hunt an aged horned mountain sheep, Wang claims, far more than the ram could fetch if it was domestically raised and killed for meat.

Wang’s group also offers tours to Canada,

In fact, an interest in wildlife is one reason Liu Jiaqi, a 28-year-old project manager for an electronics manufacturer, got into hunting. After Liu’s family moved to Vancouver in 2011 from their hometown in the eastern Chinese city of Qingdao, Liu got his gun license, mostly driven by curiosity. “Few people I know have touched a gun; few people have even seen a gun,” he says. Through his gun instructor and a Canada-based Chinese family friend, he was introduced to the world of hunting. But he also hoped the hobby would be a way to experience unspoiled wilderness — something he says the average Chinese urbanite rarely sees. On hisreasons that he released the boars from their miserable existence so they could be reincarnated as something better.

Instead, it was the weapons Zhu handled that left their mark. The vintage firearms he tried as part of the “gun experience” portion of the trip were a highlight, he says, but the timing couldn’t have been worse: Just before he left for Texas, a mass shooting in Las Vegas left 58 people dead and 851 injured. Zhu spent his trip in awe and fear of the guns he held in his hands. Soon after returning home, 26 people were killed and 20 injured in a shooting at a Baptist church in the very state he had visited. Zhu is now persuaded that America’s firearm laws are far too lax, and


Construction workers leave for native places to excercise their franchise

A number of people engaged in the Namma Metro construction work have gone to their native places to exercise their franchise during the Lok Sabha elections, thus affecting the work on the ground.

A majority of the 4,000 workers deployed at different worksites of Namma Metro Phase 1, hail from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and the surrounding States.

At least 25 per cent of those workers have left Bangalore either on their own or on the invitation of political parties to participate in the polling process, said sources in Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. (BMRCL). As a result, the work has slowed down which may impact completion of project before the scheduled deadline.

However, there is no en masse movement of labourers andthe work is in progress, albeit at a slower pace, sources said. Tunnelling work on the North-South corridor between Krishna Floor Mills and Chickpet underground metro station has been affected due to non-availability of skilled workers, they added.

At present, work on laying of tracks and completing station buildings is going on between Magadi Road (Leprosy Hospital) and Mysore Road Terminal (Nayandahalli) on Reach 2 and between K.R. Road and Puttenahalli Cross on Reach 4. Also, tunnelling work on the North-South Corridor as well construction of the underground interchange station at Majestic is also going on.

BMRCL has been striving to get the 18-km East-West Corridor opened for commercial service by this year-end. Tunnelling work on 4.8-km stretch was completed last month leaving the tunnels open for track and other

Police in North Vancouver are asking the public for help identifying a man accused of exposing himself on a hiking trail in the district earlier this month.

On Thursday, North Vancouver RCMP released a composite drawing of the man. Police say two women saw him running with a dog on the Upper Shinglebolt Trail near Capilano Road on July 13. As he ran past them, he pulled up his shorts to expose his genitals.

Police say the man is Indigenous and appears to be approximately 30 years old. He has a lean build; short, dark hair; and a goatee. He stands roughly 6 feet tall, police said.

Samsung's exploding phones came from the pressure to beat Apple, report says

Samsung's exploding phones came from the pressure to beat Apple, report says

Based on little more than a rumor that the iPhone 7 was going to be a minor update with little innovation, Samsung pushed its designers, engineers and suppliers beyond the breaking point to produce the Galaxy Note 7 with multiple industry-first features and an earlier-than-expected launch date.

But when reports of burning and exploding smartphones began to flood in, Samsung knew it had gone too far.

According to sources speaking to Bloomberg, the company executives met early in 2016 to talk about the features it would include in the new Note 7. Under pressure to deliver, the company's new phone chief D.J. Koh pushed to deliver new featuressuch as a high-resolution curved screen, an iris scanner and a more powerful and faster-charging battery.

Suppliers were pushed harder than ever before according to the report, but the company met its aggressive deadline and on August 3, more than a month before the launch of iPhone 7, Koh walked out on stage in New York to show off the new Galaxy Note 7.

Early reviews were hugely positive, and following the success of the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge in the first half of the year, Koh looked like he had delivered on all fronts. But after reports of explosions, Samsung botched the recall by announcing it before it had a system in place to repair or exchange the phones and without notifying product government authorities such as


abortionist/infanticide practitioner, let me tell you the story.

On October 3, 1973, Edelin, a Boston abortionist, performed an abortion on a 17-year old girl who was 24 weeks pregnant. His saline abortion attempt failed, so he performed a hysterotomy (Cesarian) abortion the next day.

He detached the placenta (cutting off blood oxygenation to the baby) and held the child inside the mother's uterus for three minutes as he watched the clock. Satisfied that the baby was finally dead, he removed it and disposed of it. A pathologist testified that the baby had been able to take at least one breath before Edelin suffocated it.

Edelin was charged and convicted of manslaughter by a jury, but the verdict was thrown out by an appeals court on a minor technicality. It is significantthat every major national pro-abortion group rallied to Edelin's defense, and went so far as to pay for most of his court costs. Those organizations that rallied to his defense included Planned Parenthood.

After the conviction was tossed out, Edelin was promoted to the position of chairman of the board of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and has narrated several Planned Parenthood videos aimed at teenagers.

It is wise for each pro-lifer to take the time to study history, to realize the extent to which Planned Parenthood is immersed in the grisly practices of abortion and to understand that evil knows no bounds, even when it comes to man who was clearly guilty of infanticide.

I am often asked whether Western women are different from Russian. As a person who lived in several countries and had relations with representatives of an even greater number of races and nationalities, I can say with confidence that the differences certainly exist. And many of them quite subtle at first glance, but they have a very significant impact on relations between men and women at more closely. But today, I would not like to mention the differences and the similarities.

The motive for writing this letter served, caught my eye information from the publication Social Psychological and Personality Science. According to a new study in the States, the American lady living in the most regret not established relationships with the opposite sex. Probably, this fact mayseem strange, because some American women are quite pragmatic and feminized. Yes, many of them, but not all, indeed are. So sorry about the lost opportunities for education and career on the importance they place immediately after the failed experiences of love.

Of course, it is worth noting that the nature of priorities depends on age. So, inspired by the freedom and bewitched the opportunities presented at each new stage of career, many young women are given to easily request to participate in the career race. However, their career game from time to time are accompanied by elegant, sexy adventures of varying duration, or even the fact that with care, the essence of masking is called a “serious relationship”.

About Trapped Under the Sea

The harrowing story of five men who were sent into a dark, airless, miles-long tunnel, hundreds of feet below the ocean, to do a nearly impossible job—with deadly resultsA quarter-century ago, Boston had the dirtiest harbor in America. The city had been dumping sewage into it for generations, coating the seafloor with a layer of “black mayonnaise.” Fisheries collapsed, wildlife fled, and locals referred to floating tampon applicators as “beach whistles.”

In the 1990s, work began on a state-of-the-art treatment plant and a 10-mile-long tunnel—its endpoint stretching farther from civilization than the earth’s deepest ocean trench—to carry waste out of the harbor. With this impressive feat of engineering, Boston was poised to show the country how to rebound from environmental ruin. Butwhen bad decisions and clashing corporations endangered the project, a team of commercial divers was sent on a perilous mission to rescue the stymied cleanup effort. Five divers went in; not all of them came out alive.

Drawing on hundreds of interviews and thousands of documents collected over five years of reporting, award-winning writer Neil Swidey takes us deep into the lives of the divers, engineers, politicians, lawyers, and investigators involved in the tragedy and its aftermath, creating a taut, action-packed narrative. The climax comes just after the hard-partying DJ Gillis and his friend Billy Juse trade assignments as they head into the tunnel, sentencing one of them to death.

of interviews and thousands of documents collected over five years of reporting, award-winning writer Neil Swidey takes us deep into the lives of the divers, engineers, politicians, lawyers, and investigators involved in the tragedy and its aftermath, creating a taut, action-packed narrative. The climax comes just after the hard-partying DJ Gillis and his friend Billy Juse trade assignments as they head into the tunnel, sentencing one of them to death.

An intimate portrait of the wreckage left in the wake of lives lost, the book—which Dennis Lehane calls “extraordinary” and compares with The Perfect Storm—is also a morality tale. What is the true cost of these large-scale construction projects, as designers and builders, emboldened by new technology and pressured to address a growing population’s rapacious needs, push the limitsof the possible? This is a story about human risk—how it is calculated, discounted, and transferred—and the institutional failures that can lead to catastrophe.

Suspenseful yet humane, Trapped Under the Sea reminds us that behind every bridge, tower, and tunnel—behind the infrastructure that makes modern life possible—lies unsung bravery and extraordinary sacrifice.

After talking it over with Castle, she decides to accept the job.  However, although Beckett made a positive impression on her colleagues for her investigative skills, she soon found herself unable to make the necessary moral compromises for her new role, jeopardizing a plan to infiltrate a major crime syndicate to protect a young woman who would have been forced to act as the mole.  As a result, Beckett was fired, leaving her briefly unemployed due to station budget cuts preventing Gates from simply re-hiring her. Despite this, Castle was able to get her job back after he helped to reunite a

Houston-based Hines, the 61-year-old international real estate firm that's been involved in 29 developments in downtown alone, plans to start construction next month on its newest hometown project: a 46-story apartment tower the company says will be its most impressive residential development yet.

"This one's very special," said Kevin Batchelor, senior managing director with Hines. The cost of the project per unit, he said, will be the company's highest to date for a residential tower in Houston.

The building, which will be called the Preston, will go up at the corner of Preston and Milam streets on the site of the former Houston Chronicle garage. It will be the tallest residential building downtown, and its design will give it a distinct place in the city skyline.

The design sites the buildingdiagonally to Houston's street grid, providing wider, uninterrupted views from the units, said Jorge Munoz, principal of Munoz + Albin, the architecture firm chosen to design the tower.

"It became very clear to us that by rotating the tower it would not only capture better views for the residents, but we would open up an urban plaza within our site," Munoz said.

The design also takes into account its location kitty-corner to two important neighbors: Market Square Park to the north and a new Hines office tower under construction to the south.

The building, which will have 6,800 square feet of street-level retail, will share the block with the historic Hogg Palace condominium building fronting Louisiana Street.

The new tower will be loaded with amenities and pricey finishes. The 373 units will

Most people are now 16 before they smoke their first full cigarette, up from 14 in 2010, and 95 per cent of 12 to 17-year-olds have never smoked.

Public health experts say the findings of the National Drugs Strategy Household Survey vindicate plain-packaging laws, which tobacco companies recently claimed to have boosted cigarette sales by leading to a price war.

"It's almost like finding a vaccine that works very well against lung cancer," said Simon Chapman, a professor in public health at the University of Sydney.

"It's that big. This will give enormous momentum to the international push for plain


packaging right around the world."

India and France are considering plain packaging laws. Ireland, New Zealand and Britain have legislation before their parliaments.

The survey of nearly 24,000 Australians was conducted between July and December 2013, before the new 12.5 per cent tobacco tax.

"We know that that tax has a lot of influence over consumption so it's really important that the data was collected before that," Professor Chapman said.

"The only thing that happened in the 12 months before that was the introduction of plain packaging laws."

Geoff Neideck of the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, which conducts the survey every two to three years, said the results were continued a longer trend, which has seen smoking rates halved since 1991.

The plain-packaging laws should be seen in the context of changingattitudes and cultural practices, he said.

Sixteen-year-old Gabe Hutcheon said on Wednesday he had no desire to try smoking.

"My granddad died from it, so I'll go my whole life without smoking," he said.

"It's expensive, but I don't care about that. All the ads show what it can do."

The price of the the average packet of cigarettes has been in a steep upward trajectory since 2000.

Gemma Jones, 16, agreed, although she doubted whether the plain packaging was a deterrent.

"If people want to smoke they will do it," she said. "It's stupid, smells like shit and it kills people."

The president of the Australian Council on Smoking and Health, Mike Daube, said they were the best results he had seen in his 40-year career in health policy.

Former Jail Corrections Officer Charged with Having Sexual Contact with Inmate

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAW) -- A 38-year-old former Marathon County Jail corrections officer accused of having sexual contact with an inmate was formally charged Friday with second degree sexual assault by corrections staff and misconduct in office.

Jennifer Kowalski is free on a $15,000 signature bond after posting $2,500 in cash.

According to a news release from the Marathon County Sheriff's Department, Kowalski began her employment with the sheriff's department in October 2006. She remained employed by the department until Oct. 29, 2015.

According to court documents, an investigation began after another inmate suspected inappropriate contact between Kowalski and an inmate. The inmate that reported the alleged misconduct told investigators he had read a "love letter" Kowalski had given the inmate andagainst Immel. A writ of execution was served on appellant on October 14, 1963. In response to the writ, Stone stated that no moneys were due Immel as he was paid in advance.
Three additional writs of execution were issued and served on appellant on February 14, May 15 and November 27, 1964. All were returned unsatisfied.
In garnishee proceedings Stone was examined on three different occasions regarding the salary paid to Immel. Stone's explanation of appellant's failure to produce moneys of Immel in response to the garnishment process was that Immel had a backlog of debts, that appellant would pay the individual creditors on Immel's behalf from time to time and then would withhold such amounts from Immel's salary, and that at the various times process was served on


Broncos turn tables on Cuyama Valley, rally for close win

The most thrilling and emotionally exhausting basketball game of the season for Coast Union’s boys played out in front of a highly vocal home crowd Friday night, Feb. 2. The Broncos came from behind to defeat the Cuyama Valley Bears, 37-34 — an ending eerily similar to the score Jan. 16, when Coast lost 34-32 on the Bears’ home court.

Coming into this week, the Broncos were tied for first place in the Coast Valley League with Valley Christian Academy and Shandon High School.

The Cuyama Valley victory came on the heels of a blowout against the Maricopa Indians. Sophomore David Amodei led the Broncos with 18 points on the way to a 63-12 victory.
