copolymers was applied in our own work which was regarded as a promising material for the reconstruction of the upper aerodigestive tract (ADT) due to its physicochemical characteristics. In order to test this material for applications in the ADT under extreme chemical, enzymatical, bacterial and mechanical conditions we applied it for the reconstruction of a complete defect of the gastric wall in an animal model. In none of the animals tested either gastrointestinal complications or negative systemic events occurred, however, there was a multilayered regeneration of the gastric wall implying a regular structured mucosa. In future the advanced stem cell technology will allow further progress in the reconstruction of different kind of tissues also in the field of head and neck surgery following the principles of Tissue Engineering.Resources

About

Dallas‘ WFAA has unveiled a revamped version of its Victory Park Studios that incorporates the new Tegna “in the round” anchor desk along with elements from the old studio and a triangular “play” icon.

The studio, which is located in the Victory Park development that includes the American Airlines Center, home of the Dallas Mavericks and Stars professional sports team, received a significant refresh by the set’s original designer, Jack Morton Worldwide.

The original Victory Park studio set incorporated the surrounding architecture in its strong grid-like design that blended printed graphics with frost and openings.

The basic structure of that grid remains, though the anchor desk has been replaced with the boomerang-shaped anchor desk used at many other Tegna stations with a seamless LED video wall behind it that replaces the

Christopher Rushing, chief executive officer of Oklevueha Native American Church, said his church practices the spiritual use of hallucinogenic plants as part of its worship.

An Alabama church founded last year has a legal exemption for its members to smoke marijuana and ingest hallucinogenic mushrooms and peyote cactus, according to Christopher Rushing, who is listed as chief executive officer.

The Oklevueha Native American Church of Inner Light in Warrior has been licensed as a federally registered branch of the Oklevueha Lakota Sioux Nation Native American Church, Rushing said. "We are the only federally registered people allowed to have these sacraments," as far as a church in Alabama, he said in interview with AL.com.

The church has a religious exemption to use psylocibin mushrooms and peyote cactus, bothof which have properties that augment traditional Native American spiritual beliefs and experiences, Rushing said. He calls their use in religious ceremonies a sacrament.

Christopher Rushing and all members of his church carry an identification card that he says helps establish their rights to possess marijuana, hallucinogenic mushrooms and peyote.

All 120 members in the Alabama branch of the church carry photo identification, similar to a driver's license, that identifies them as members of a church that has a federal religious exemption to use natural drugs that otherwise are prohibited by law, he said.

The church has a mix of Christian and Native American beliefs, Rushing said. "We believe what Christ spoke and taught," Rushing said.

Rushing, 39, grew up in Decatur and now lives in a double-wide trailer in Warrior with


his wife, Janice, and two sons, who are 20 and 15.

Rushing does not claim to have more than a small percentage of Native American ancestry, and said the church is open to people regardless of race or ethnic background.

He believes all natural plants should be legal for medicinal use, including marijuana, peyote cactus and psylocibin mushrooms. "These plants are in no way toxic or deadly," Rushing said. "They have been used for thousands of years for medicinal purposes, long before pharmaceutical companies began making synthetic versions of them."

Researchers at UAB and other universities are studying the benefits of such natural treatments, including the use of psylocibin mushrooms in treating cocaine abuse. Peter Hendricks, a clinical psychologist at UAB, is currently doing research on the use of the activeour legitimacy and help people."

Rushing was licensed by James Warren "Flaming Eagle" Mooney of Utah, who won a court battle with the state of Utah. The Utah Supreme Court ruled in Mooney's favor in 2004, in State of Utah vs. Mooney's and Oklevueha Native American Church. The state had argued that Mooney was engaged in a criminal enterprise for distributing peyote and tried to seize the church property. The Supreme Court ruled that the Native American Church was entitled to the religious exemption.

Unlike most churches, the Oklevueha Native American Church in Alabama doesn't have weekly services. Rushing works with individuals in using the natural drugs to achieve spiritual enlightenment. Joining requires a letter of sincerity from the branch leader, he said.

Rushing said he has only used peyote three


times, on Native American reservations. "We haven't had a peyote service in the state yet," he said.

The last time he took part in one was on Native American land in Philadelphia, Miss., he said. A religious ceremony may involve staring into a fire all night while ingesting peyote or mushrooms. "Medicines open portals to reality," he said. "That's how we receive insights and healing. The medicine is personalized. The creator knows who will eat it while it's still growing."

Rushing said he uses marijuana routinely. He only occasionally uses hallucinogenic mushrooms, he said. He began searching for mushrooms with friends when he was 18, he said. "There's very much risk in foraging for yourself," he said. "There are poisonous mushrooms that resemble the medicinal mushrooms."

He said he obtains mushroomslegally through medicine men suppliers with the Native American Church.

Rushing said his beliefs have caused conflict with some relatives, such as his grandfather, a staunch Southern Baptist. "I've tried to talk to them about Jesus Christ and his message of love," he said. "They don't want to talk about that. They want to talk about how much you go to church. We are all children of the creator if we choose to be."

Rushing said it does not make sense that pharmaceutical companies make large profits on harmful synthetic and dangerous drugs, while plant and herbal medicines are illegal.

In an interview with AL.com, Christopher Rushing talked about his spiritual beliefs and use of hallucinogenic plants as sacraments.

"I don't understand societies and governments that want to outlaw nature," Rushing said.

There is a long history of powerful press barons, particularly in Britain, who have tried to influence politicians and shape political life. Old-fashioned British newspaper owners, such as the Lords Beaverbrook and Rothermere, who dominated the industry in the first half of the twentieth century, possessed far greater social and political power than Murdoch does today. They were also far more willing to interfere in political life. In 1931 Beaverbrook and Rothermere put up their own candidate in a parliamentary by-election in Westminster St-George to show their displeasure with the Conservative Party leader Stanley Baldwin, whom they had come to regard as not sufficiently their poodle.


increasingly disengaged from politics. The role of the media has expanded to fill the gap left by the hollowing-out of public and political life. In the past, the political class spoke from a position of strength. Its social authority was unquestioned and it possessed immense self-confidence in its ability to rule. Today, the weakness of the political class, the erosion of its self-confidence, the bankruptcy of its ideas – all ensure the greater influence of a figure like Murdoch. The media has assumed its position of unprecedented influence almost by default.

And yet, in reality, caught between a plummeting readership and an expanding Internet, the press is probably less powerful today than it has been for more than a century. In the 2000 pages of the Leveson report theredeals the extra damage to all party members over 12 seconds.

Does he feel like he left behind unfinished business?

"Thanks for reminding me," Gesicki said at the NFL Combine on Friday. "Now I got all motivated, I'm going to go kill this bench press. That wasn't fun, obviously. Sitting there at lunch today with (former Ohio State quarterback) J.T. Barrett and he was smiling about that one."

He went on to say it was part of the process, that the Lions played "extremely well" in 13 games and won 11. Unfortunately, he said, that wasn't enough. But as for that unfinished business? He said that's in the hands of the current Penn State

The excavation led by the Cotswold Archaeology's project officer Paolo Guarino stated that discovery of the Oxfordshire settlement has opened a new "window into the lives and deaths of communities we often know only for their monumental buildings."

Apart from the human remains, the excavation team also unearthed evidence of dwellings, animal carcasses, household items such as potter, cutting implements and a decorative bone comb from Childrey Warren site.

Guarino said that they examined the soil samples, skeletons, animal bones and discovered artefacts and the results will help the researchers to retrieve some long lost information(New York) – Civilians are dying in Syria in new indiscriminate attacks despite the “cessation of hostilities” that began on February 26, 2016.

One of the deadliest was the government airstrike on the town of Deir al-Assafir on March 31, killing at least 31 civilians, including nine women and 12 children, local civil rights groups and rescue workers reported. Three witnesses told Human Rights Watch that there were no military targets nearby. On April 5, armed groups fired mortars, locally made rockets, and other artillery into Sheikh Maqsoud, an Aleppo neighborhood under the control of the Kurdish People's Protection Units, in likely indiscriminate attacks that killed at least 18 civilians including seven children and five women, and wounded 68, according to the local Sheikh Maqsoud council. The Russian Defense


Ministry confirmed the death toll.

“A decrease in casualty numbers brought a much needed respite for Syrians, but many civilians are still dying in unlawful attacks,” said Nadim Houry, deputy Middle East director. “Key countries pushing for negotiations in Syria – notably the U.S. and Russia – need to press the warring parties in Syria to end unlawful attacks.”

The video also showed images of young children in school uniform and backpacks escaping from a school. Human Rights Watch received a list of 31 names of the dead from the local Civil Defense group.A local media activist, Adam al-Shami, who was in Deir al-Assafir at the time of attack, told Human Rights Watch that the Civil Defense building, a civilian building, in the town was destroyed as well as a hospital and a school. The local Civil Defense group said that 14 bombs were dropped on the town. The videos showed damaged buildings but did not indicate if they were the hospital or the school that were hit. Doghmosh and al-Shami denied that there


were any military targets nearby. The Syrian government did not issue any statements about this attack.“The bombing happened in completely civilian areas in the Ashira neighborhood,” al-Shami said. “One member of the Syrian Civil Defense died in the attack.”“In Aleppo, opposition armed groups fired locally made rockets, grad, and mortars,” said Emad Dawud, a local council member, in the Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood. Local activists said that the armed groups began their attacks following clashes with the Kurdish militia over the control of a key thoroughfare.According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights , the armed groups also struck the neighborhood with 23 rockets on March 6, killing nine civilians including four children. On March 19, four civilians, including two children, died when rockets were fired into Sheikh MaqsoudIslamic State, also known as ISIS. However, while the number of civilian deaths has decreased in the past month, indiscriminate attacks against civilian areas have continued, according to local human rights groups and Syrian civil defense, a group of search and rescue volunteer workers.The US and Russia, as co-chairs of the Syria Ceasefire Task Force, set up a monitoring system with a hotline for Syrian individuals or groups to report violations of the ceasefire by phone, email or text.The special task force should strengthen its reporting mechanism particularly for strikes that kill civilians, and publicly report on violations of the laws of war, and adopt measures to sanction and deter such violations, Human Rights Watch said.“As fighting resumes in parts of Syria, key backers of the Syria negotiations


What’s the real reason for police violence against Aboriginal men? ReVision Quest is back by popular demand. First Nations comic and host Darrell Dennis tackles assumptions about his aboriginal culture with humour and personality.

This video captures the CBC Vancouver Inspiration Series: Dream Makers, a June 2015 panel event that highlights successful aboriginal women and celebrates the unique experiences that have led them to become leaders in the community. The panel discussion featured four female leaders who shared their stories of how they overcame challenges to achieve success.

CBC News' Connie Walker has uncovered significant details in Amber Tuccaro's unsolved murder.

The case could also affect similar policies announced by other states including New York and Illinois.

The lawsuit will argue that Hickox's constitutional right to due process was violated when she was forced into isolation, Siegel said.

State officials implemented a blanket policy without identifying a rational basis for confining asymptomatic individuals like Hickox, he said.

"The case law makes clear that the policy should be driven by medical fact, not fear," he said.

Michelle Mello, professor of law and public health at Harvard University, said courts in such cases seek to balance the level of danger posed by the disease


monitoring. He said other quarantines, such as for drug-resistant tuberculosis, require a positive test.

Gostin has been in contact with Hickox via email to offer advice and support, he said.

Hickox, the first person isolated under the new orders, arrived on Friday at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey after working with Ebola patients in Sierra Leone.

In an interview with CNN on Sunday, Hickox criticized the policy, saying she is "completely healthy."

But New Jersey Governor Chris Christie told Fox News on Sunday he would not back down. "This is government's job ... to protect the safety and health of our citizens."

The White House, worried that the quarantine orders could impede the fight against Ebola, has voiced its concerns to the governors of New Jersey, New York and other states,vertebra at the L-1 level.  Although his physicians told him that he would never walk again, approximately seven months after the accident Lowder was again able to walk.  Neurological problems resulting from the accident caused Lowder to walk in a wide-based gait and affected his bladder control.  Nevertheless, in August 1959 he began working as a heavy equipment operator, and continued through 1969.

3
In April 1969 Lowder began experiencing pain on the left side of his body.  He was treated by a physician, an osteopath, and a chiropractor, but the symptoms persisted.  In 1970 Lowder was hospitalized twice in the Veterans Administration Hospital in Iowa City, Iowa.  During the first hospitalization a myelogram was performed revealing a complete block at the L-1 level.


 Lowder's diagnosis was possible multiple sclerosis or polyneuropathy.  Complications developed and Lowder lost the ability to toe-walk.  During his second hospitalization the principal diagnosis was probable multiple sclerosis.  Lowder was once again hospitalized on March 8, 1972.  After discharge he was examined by the Neurological Department of the V.A. hospital every six months for the following seven years.  During this time Lowder continued working as a heavy construction equipment operator.

4
In March 1979 Lowder was readmitted to neurology for reevaluation.  Two myelograms were performed and a blockage was found at the T-12, L-1 level.  Lowder was diagnosed as suffering from a syringomyelia--a fluid filled cavity in the spinal cord at the level of the blockage.  Upon admittance it was notedthat Lowder was experiencing no change in muscle strength or bowel or bladder functions, but he was experiencing great pain and loss of control in his shoulders and arms.

5
After reviewing Lowder's records, Dr. Dennis McDonnell, the Chief of Staff of Neurology, and Dr. Venna Uberoi, then a third year neurosurgery resident, concluded that surgery was necessary to drain from Lowder's spine a cyst which was pressing on his spinal cord.  The procedure involved inserting a plastic tube into the spinal cavity and draining the tube into the peritoneal cavity of Lowder's abdomen.

6
On March 30, 1979 the surgery was performed with unsuccessful results.  Lowder is no longer able to walk unaided and he has lost all bladder and bowel control.  The district court classified Lowder as


in 1979 he did not believe his symptoms interfered with his ability to work.  He only checked into the V.A. hospital to have his diagnosis reevaluated.  At the time he believed that the surgery would relieve the pain he felt in his arms.  Lowder argues that his physicians should have known that his condition was stable from 1972 through 1979.  Further, Lowder argues that there is no evidence that he was told that Dr. McDonnell and Dr. Uberoi had never performed a syringomyelia.  Also, he was not told that the surgery was uncommon and serious and that his condition might stabilize without surgery.

Lowder argues that given his physical condition, work history, and economic circumstances, he needed to know exactly that information which wasMichael Walsh was born (1986) and raised in Ontario, Canada. As a child, he already knew that all he wanted to do was drawing. After graduating from the Ontario College of Art and Desing with a bachelor’s degree in illustration, he primarily worked in graphic design and advertising illustration. From 2011 on his own, Michael has drawn comic series. Thus he’s met with Ed Brisson, with whom he created his first published full-length comic series Comeback at Image comics in 2013. He then spearheaded the comic-book revival of the hit television show X-Files at IDW. During this time he also launched the series Zero at Image with the author Ales Knot.

Since 2014 Michael has been working with Marvel comics. His first work at the publisher was a 15


Mask, Archie Comics and IDW. In 2016 he worked on the Hellboy : Winter Special at Dark Horse, and is currently writing and drawing his own stories for their anthology series Dark Horse Presents.

Unlike many of his fellow artists, Michael Walsh inks himself his drawings. Moreover, he uses it for the background of some layouts, which strengthens the expressionism and the power of his drawings. He plays with exacerbated expressions, on light and shadows to dynamise his compositions. The colors are often applied by Matthew Wilson, whom Michael thinks of as one of the best colorist there is.The Stampeders Schedule

Has shared the stage with bands such asGroundation, Steel Pulse, Dave Matthews, Jack Johnson and has worked directly with Paula Fuga, Jah Gumby of Father Psalms Studios, Bambu Station, Ooklah the Moc, John Cruz, Tavana and many others. http://www.mikelovemusic.com

CHRIS BERRY

Grammy award winner Chris Berry is an eclectic singer and songwriter, multi-instrumentalist virtuoso, and high-energy performer and teacher of African-Inspired Drum, Dance, Mbira, Marimba and more. From his humble beginning during Robert Mugabe's regime in Zimbabwe, he has blasted his powerful Afro-infused sound around the World for over twenty years and has been collaborating and performing with some of the World's best performers.Chris was born and raised in California where he began his apprenticeship with Master Drummer Titos Sompa (one of the founders of the African drum and dance scene on the West Cost of the


U.S.) as a fifteen year old boy. This relationship led him into a ten year journey through Africa. Eight of these years were spent in Zimbabwe during the Mugabe Regime. During this tumultuous political period, Chris found himself living in the ghettos and villages of Zimbabwe where he sought to study the music of the Shona people, adding to his growing repertoire of Traditional African Music. He became initiated by the village elders into their heritage, mastered the Mbira, and learned to speak their language fluently. Immersed in the culture of all-night Mbira Ceremonies, Chris found his voice singing among the polyrhythmic harmonies commonly found throughout Zimbabwe and most of South Africa. It was soon after that his musical career took off. Encouraged by his teachers to createhis own compositions, he formed the band Panjea which fused Funk with elements of Hip-Hop, Afro-Pop, and traditional African music. The band quickly had No. 1 hits on the radio, toured all over Africa, and reached Platinum Record Sales on an album they recorded with Zimbabwean-based Gramma Records. As Chris Berry and Panjea's popularity rapidly grew, Chris was warned to leave Zimbabwe due to his lyrical opposition to the oppressing government, and instructions from his teachers to take his music out to the world, but it wasn't until four of Panjea's band members succumbed to AIDS and attempts were made on his own life that Chris left Zimbabwe. http://chrisberrymusic.org/

TUBBY LOVE

         These are the essential facts adduced on the limited record presented to this

Court.

         On March 28, 2008, Bloedorn, an itinerant preacher who frequently seeks

out busy areas on college campuses to broadcast his evangelical message for four

to six hours at a time on continuous days, along with several companions, arrived

at GSU. Georgia Southern University is a state-funded public university with over

          Honorable James D. Whittemore, United States District Judge for the Middle District of
Florida, sitting by designation.

          may engage

in expressive conduct.

      Soon after Bloedorn began preaching, a University official approached

Bloedorn and informed him that, before he could use the Free Speech Area, he was

required to seek and obtain a permit from GSU. Bloedorn refused to comply with

the permitting process, deeming it an “affront” to his beliefs and arguing that it

violated his basic constitutional freedoms. Bloedorn resumed preaching. Again,

he was approached, this time by GSU Department of Public Safety Corporal

George Hemm, who explained that Bloedorn, as an outside, non-sponsored

speaker, could not speak on campus without a permit. Still again, Bloedorn

resumed preaching despite the officer’s warning that he could be arrested for


                     3
trespass. At that point, Laura McCullough, a Public Safety Captain, arrived on the

scene and asked Bloedorn to complete and submit a permit request form. For the

third time, Bloedorn refused to apply for a permit, whereupon he was arrested by

Corporal Hemm for trespass.1

      GSU’s Speech Policy distinguishes between speakers who are members of

the GSU community or are sponsored by community members and those who are

drawn from outside of the University community and who are not sponsored by a

University group or member. The Speech Policy begins this way:

      The area has very heavy student traffic, including traffic for eating
      facilities and a bus stop for the Georgia Southern University bus service.

            During the academic year, the Free Speech area and Rotunda are
      heavily utilized by university students and/or for university programs.

July 13, 2009, Bloedorn commenced this civil rights action in federal district

court, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983 and 1988, against several employees of GSU,

including the President of the University, the Vice President for Student Affairs,

the Facilities Use Coordinator, the Director of the Public Safety Department, and a

Public Safety Corporal. Bloedorn claims that the Speech Policy deprived him of

his rights to free speech and due process, as well as the right to be free from

unreasonable seizure. Bloedorn says that he has been unable to return to the

campus to speak because he is fearful of re-arrest. In his complaint, Bloedorn

elaborates that ever since the arrest, he has wanted to return to the campus to speak

with students. He argues that the University’s Speech Policy violates his

expressive rights in four discretefor the pursuit of higher learning by its admitted and registered

students and by its faculty.

      Nor is this case like Grace, where the Supreme Court determined that the

sidewalks comprising the outer edges of the property of the United States Supreme

Court were indistinguishable from other public sidewalks in Washington, D.C.,

and, thus, constituted traditional public fora. 461 U.S. at 179-80. Here, the

sidewalks, Pedestrian Mall, and Rotunda are all contained inside of the GSU

campus. All of the University’s entrances are identified with large blue signs and


health problems, and how many times they went to an emergency department or were admitted to hospital. The results also show how much money was contributed through Medicare towards GP, medical specialist and pathology and diagnostic imaging services for the two highest GP user groups in each local area.

Through the use of tables and maps, the report also shows which local areas have the highest and lowest percentages of very high and frequent ‘GP attenders’.

To derive the results, the Australian population was divided into six groups, based on the number of times people visited a GP in 2012–13 (referred to as a ‘GP attendance’). The groups are:

Very high GP attenders: 20 or more visits per year

Frequent GP attenders: 12–19 visits

Above average GP attenders: 6–11 visits

Occasional GP attenders: 4–5were seen in the distribution of very high and frequent GP attenders, even when restricting comparisons to local areas that share similar characteristics such as socioeconomic status.

To assist in comparing areas on a more equitable basis, local areas were assigned to peer groups based on their distance from major centres, socioeconomic status and distance to hospitals. Among higher-income inner-city catchments (Metro 1 peer group), the percentage of very high and frequent GP attenders was twice as high in the local area with the highest percentage (Inner West Sydney, 14.5%) compared to the local area with the lowest percentage (Australian Capital Territory, 7.1%).

There was a similar range among the local areas in the lower-income regional peer group (Regional 2), where the local area with the highest percentage of very


high and frequent users (Wide Bay in Queensland, 15.3%) was almost double that in the areas with the lowest (New England in NSW and South West WA, 8.3%) (Figure 1, and Maps for Very high and Frequent attenders).

Regional differences in prevalence of very high and frequent GP attenders remain even after differences in the age of populations in local areas is considered.

Expenditure on health services

Across Australia, very high and frequent GP attenders accounted for 41.0% of all non-hospital Medicare expenditure (including but not limited to GP, medical specialists, pathology, diagnostic imaging, and allied health services) in 2012–13. As this implies, there was a marked difference in the amounts of money Medicare contributed on a per-person basis for patients in each of the attendance groups, as follows:

Across local areas,mount was made specifically for a Cisco 3502i wireless access point. Partnership with a plastics company was quick and resulted in a fairly simple, yet elegant design. The mount itself is only 1/4" thick allowing for bulk packaging and shipment. The plastic has a custom machined hole that is beveled to match the contour of the front face of the access point. On the reverse side, a neoprene sleeve secures the access point in place to prevent shifting and eliminate risk of injury during installation and maintenance. The neoprene sleeve has a specially designed hole at the center for heat dissipation and stretches for AP installation. A second hole has been engineered to provide easy routing of cables to the access point.

Northeastern professor Daniel Distel and his colleagues have discovered a dark slithering creature four feet long that dwells in the foul mud of a remote lagoon in the Philippines. They say studying the animal, a giant shipworm with pinkish siphons at one end and an eyeless head at the other, could add to our understanding of how bacteria cause infections and, in turn, how we might adapt to tolerate--and even benefit from--them.

Live specimens of the massive shipworm, which was captured by Distel's team with the help of researchers from the area, have eluded scientific description for hundreds of years. Distel, research professor at Northeastern's Marine Science Center, has been searching for it for two decades. He had examined fragments of its tusk-like shell, made of calcium carbonate, andgazed wistfully at dead specimens preserved in ethanol. But neither he, nor any other living researchers, had ever come across a live specimen of the ancient species, a bivalve mollusc named Kuphus polythalamia that was first described (though incorrectly classified) by Swedish taxonomist Carl Linnaeus in 1758.

Now, in a new paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Distel and his colleagues present their research on the live shipworm. They describe how, remarkably, it does not eat, at least not much--it has a tiny digestive system--but instead bacteria living inside its gills convert sulfur gas from rotting wood into nutrients to keep it alive.

"Most shipworms are very delicate, translucent, usually white, beige or pink," says Distel, who directs the Ocean Genome Legacy at Northeastern, a


unique biological bank where researchers acquire DNA from organisms around the world for genetic analysis. "They're mostly small, a few centimeters long. You have to be very careful not to damage them when you're taking them out of the wood, where they live. This thing was like a baseball bat. It was a beefy, muscular animal, jet black."

Indeed, the team had to edit much of the audio out of the original video of the creature's debut. "When I took that thing out of the tube there was a collective gasp among the whole group," says Distel, "along with quite a number of expletives that had to be deleted."

An 'evolutionary stepping stone'

Distel's genomic analysis of the host Kuphus as well as the bacteria whipping up its food revealed adisease. What is it about these bacteria that they can infect the host yet not harm it? How does the host learn to tolerate, and even benefit from, the bacteria?"

Tracking a mystery

"For a biologist who is interested in these bivalves, it's like a unicorn," said Margo Haygood, a marine microbiologist at the University of Utah and senior author on the study, in a video revealing one of the giant shipworms.

Distel praises the power of social media for helping the researchers finally find the elusive giant.

They were in the Philippines in 2010 as part of a National Institutes of Health-funded project called the Philippine Mollusc Symbiont-International Cooperative Biodiversity Groups, studying molluscs and symbiotic bacteria in search of natural compounds that might be developed into antibiotics and other drugs.

"The tie went with him into these manufacturing environments, for sure, so he was not one of the people running these [manufacturing machines]," Tom Kaye, the group's lead researcher, told King5. "He was either an engineer or a manager in one of the plants."

Kaye and his band of Citizen Sleuths are now calling on anyone with a background or experience with the aerospace industry in the Pacific Northwest to aid in the investigation.

In November 1971, a man now known as D.B. Cooper climbed aboard Northwest Orient passenger jet, which was manufactured by Boeing and headed to Seattle from Portland, and told the flight attendant that he had a bomb in his suitcase.

He then demanded $200,000 and four parachutes.

The FBI handed over the money and the parachutes toCooper as the plane landed at Seattle's Sea-Tac Airport. The aircraft then took off again, heading south.

At some point, he made his now-infamous escape by jumping out of the plane. Cooper, who was said to have been wearing a business suit at the time of the hijacking, was never found.

A minimal amount of the money that was given to Cooper was recovered, as was his airline ticket, which was issued to a "Dan Cooper."

The FBI closed the case last July after turning up no new leads on Cooper's identity.

The Citizen Sleuths were granted access to the FBI’s files a decade ago and have recently made their discoveries public with the public


Wake Forest Hires Bowling Green's Coach

Dave Clawson is parlaying a MAC championship into an ACC coaching job, taking over at Wake Forest, the school announced Tuesday.

Clawson is 90-80 as a head coach, but is 18-8 the last two seasons with the Falcons, including a 47-27 win over previously-unbeaten Northern Illinois in Saturday's conference championship. Clawson also led Richmond to the FCS semifinals in 2007, his fourth and final year with the team.

"We are very pleased to have Dave Clawson leading our football program," Wake Forest athletic director Ron Wellman said in a statement. "Dave is a proven winnerand leader and has had great success at every institution he has coached. Dave has rebuilt every program that he has coached and has led each institution to a conference championship. He has developed a national reputation as a builder of programs.

"Dave's expectations for our program and players are extremely high. We have much to look forward to with his leadership of our program."

Clawson's Falcons played decent on offense this year, but his defense finished fifth in the NCAA, allowing just 14.8 points per game — an anomaly in the MAC. Clawson will have the unenviable task of resurrecting one of the worst offenses in the nation at Wake Forest. Clawson's 2009 Bowling Green team did feature one of the most explosive passing offenses in NCAA history, including


a 4,000-yard passing season by Tyler Sheehan and a 155-catch season by Freddie Barnes, an NCAA record.

The Demon Deacons had virtually no offensive production this season aside from senior receiver Michael Campanaro, who missed the final three-plus games due to injury. The team finished ranked near the bottom of the NCAA in every offensive category, including passing yards (95th), rushing yards (115th) and points (117th).

Thompson flashes athleticism and enough NFL potential that some evaluators believe he should stay on the outside of the line and compete for a job as a backup swing tackle in the NFL.

There’s absolutely enough talent in the First-Team All-Big 12 offensive lineman for Zimmer and the coaching staff to work with. In 2014, Thompson only gave up one sack despite playing through a foot injury for part of the season. His success at Oklahoma shows that he has the tools and requisite athleticism to play at the next level.

Thompson is capable of delivering a strong punch and punishing blocks when he wants to. At times he can dominate at the point of attack, while other times it appears he is too content to shove a guy once and coast through the play.

Kevin Heinlein is just settling into his new position as sergeant — and fourth in command — at the Ionia Department of Public Safety.Heinlein's first day was June 21, the day following the retirement of Sgt. Mike Ketchum. Heinlein currently is working the day shift, but will be switching to midnights after the Ionia Free Fair."It sounds like a cliché, but this is something I've always wanted to do: be a police officer and a fireman," he said.Heinlein completed Firefighter 1 and 2 training in 1999 in Caro, and is a 2002 graduateof Northeastern Basic Police Academy in Bay City. He hired on as a seasonal bike officer in Greenville from April to October 2003.Heinlein said he heard about an opening in Ionia when he was on the Greenville department, and, at the time, had no idea where Ionia was. He joined the IDPS in February 2004. When budget cuts turned his full-time position into a part-time one, he also worked with Ionia County Central Dispatch for about five years, until he could return to full-time with IDPS."Working in public safety, you don't have the routine," he said. "One day, you'll have more police calls, another day more fire calls, another more medical. Every day is different, challenging and unique."Heinlein pointed to the three shootings that occurred in Ionia in


Six French jet fighters targeted and destroyed an Islamic State training camp in eastern Syria, President Francois Hollande said Sunday, making good on a promise to go after the group that the president has said is planning attacks against several countries, including France.

Paris: Six French jet fighters targeted and destroyed an Islamic State training camp in eastern Syria, President Francois Hollande said on Sunday, making good on a promise to go after the group that the President has said is planning attacks against several countries, including France.

The airstrikes were the first in Syria by France as it expands its mission against IS.

"The camp was totally destroyed," Hollande said Sunday after arriving at the United Nations, before the start of a major development summit and the U.N. General Assemblybringing together world leaders.

"We're sure there were no casualties" among civilians, he added.

The French president's office announced the strikes, without details, in a statement hours earlier.

"Our nation will strike each time our national security is at stake," the statement said.

Hollande told reporters the strikes on the training camp, and others to come, were aimed at "protecting our territory, cutting short terrorist actions, acting in legitimate defense."

Hollande said more strikes "could take place in the coming weeks if necessary." The targets were identified in earlier French reconnaissance flights and with information provided by the U.S.-led coalition.

The president announced earlier this month a change in French strategy — expanding its airstrikes over Iraq into Syria.

France has carried out 215 airstrikes against IS extremists in Iraq as part of the U.S.-led


coalition since last year, the Defense Ministry said earlier this month. But it previously held back on engaging in Syria, citing concern over playing into Assad's hand and the need for such action to be covered by international law.

Officials now evoke "legitimate defense" as spelled out in the U.N. Charter to support strikes in Syria.

France has already been attacked by extremists claiming ties to IS. Hollande, who has ruled out sending ground troops into Syria, has cited "proof" of plans for attacks on France and the growing danger to Syrian civilians, with a large chunk of the population fleeing in a massive exodus.

Prime Minister Manuel Valls said France was going after IS "sanctuaries where those who want to hit France are trained."

The goal of the strikes is to"slow, break, stop if possible the penetration of Daesh," Gen. Vincent Desportes said on the iTele TV station, using the Arabic acronym for IS.

Hollande stressed the importance of seeking a political solution for Syria.

"More than ever the urgency is putting in place a political transition," including elements of the moderate opposition and Assad's regime, the statement said.

In New York, the French president said he would be meeting this week "all the partners" in the Syrian conflict.

"This political solution requires that all stakeholders are involved," he said. "We are not excluding anyone." He didn't name countries.

At the same time, he said, "The future of Syria cannot be with Bashar al Assad."

The French government has insisted that while it is part of the U.S.-led coalition, France is deciding independently who

Kansas Set To Enact Law Saying Life Starts At Fertilization

Kansas House Speaker Ray Merrick, a Republican, watches the chamber's electronic tally board as it approves a sweeping anti-abortion bill Friday at the Statehouse in Topeka. At left is Majority Leader Jene Vickrey.

Lawmakers in Kansas passed an extensive anti-abortion measure Friday night, which Gov. Sam Brownback is expected to sign into law. The bill declares that life begins "at fertilization," prohibits abortions related to the baby's sex and blocks tax breaks for health care providers that perform abortions.

The House passed the bill 90-30, hours after the Senate approved it 28-10.

The Associated Press quoted Republican Kansas Sen. Steve Fitzgerald, a supporter of the bill, as saying, "The human is a magnificent piece of work


Some species, such as the spiny soft-shell turtles, responded quickly and robustly to any vibration on or around their tails, whereas other species, such as common musk turtles and Mississippi mud turtles, required a bit of foreplay first.

These species responded best to "moving the vibrator in slow, small circles on the abdominal and pectoral scutes," or plates, McKnight wrote in a new paper on the method. ("Good vibrations: a novel method for sexing turtles" was published in the most recent issue of the journal Acta Herpetologica and included Hunter Howell, Ethan Hollender, and Day Ligon as co-authors).

He also revealed during the interview with DJ Use that he had written a lot of songs with Castro in mind but only hopes for his dear friend to come back. Talking about his music career, Kofi Kinaata exclusively disclosed that all is set to drop his new hit single in March 2015 which features Kaaki.

Kofi Kinaata who is currently under High Grade Family management said anyone who hears him rap falls in love with his lines because they arewas young but started getting serious recognition after he featured on a “Kasahare” rap competition on Melody fm in Takoradi and also during his school days at Takoradi Technical Institute.

He added that he did a lot of rap battle on radio stations and many platforms during his schools days and that made him who he is today.

“My fans always wanted to hear what I was saying and kept it simple and clear, so it was not surprising most people like my rap on Castro’s Odo Pa.”

Born in Takoradi, Effiakuma, Kofi Kinaata recounted his musical journey with Castro and explained that it was not difficult working with a musician like Castro because he knew what he was capable of.

A native of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Brenda Hopkins Miranda is the consummate musician, having excelled as pianist, composer, arranger, improviser, band leader, writer and educator. She holds a Bachelors degree in Classical Piano from the Conservatorio de Música de Puerto Rico, a Masters degree in Contemporary Improvisation from New England Conservatory in Boston, and completed Doctoral Studies in Musicology from the Universidad de Granada in Spain. From 2003-2006 Hopkins Miranda was appointed Director of the Music Program of the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture. She has also been on the staff at the Inter American University Metropolitan Campus, where she taught improvisation, piano, harmony and other courses. She has been an active mentor in master classes, seminars and workshops


at diverse institutions and taught privately. As an academic author her music related articles have been published in various newspapers and magazines.

Having grown up with the magical blend of rhythms and melodies which encompasses Puerto Rican music, she developed her innate talent and expanded her repertoire to include Caribbean, Latin American,with authentic Spanish and flamenco influences as well. She has been active as a first call pianist for a host of Latin American artists on international tours and recording dates, and is a recognized composer and artist on soundtracks for several short films. As a bandleader Hopkins Miranda has released three recordings of original music on her BHM label: “Boricua on Board,” (1998) “Bohemia,” (1999) and her latest effort which was a culmination of her years in Spain,the 2009 release of “Recuerdos de Granada/Memoirs of Granada.”

It was while in studying in Granada, Spain that Ms. Hopkins began to seek out the nightlife and music of the city. With her background and experience, it was inevitable that she would wind up sitting in on jam sessions like those at the famed Booga Club, leading to her forming her own Latin jazz ensemble called Zona Boricua, in honor of her Puerto Rican roots. This opened up more venues of engagement as in the ancient Albayzin part of the city, where she teamed up with Raiz and Duende a local flamenco dance show known locally as tablao, and her immersion into this classical Spanish art form was complete. Then the music took over.

Over the next two years she


continued to hone her skills and absorb the flamenco culture while concentrating on composing and forming the ideas which would lead to “Recuerdos de Granada/Memoirs of Granada.”

Upon her return to Puerto Rico she set out to assemble the musicians for the recording project and in June of 2009 went into the studio to make this a realization of a purpose. This record would be not only her own reminisces of her time in Granada, but a way to show appreciation and gratitude to those she encountered, assisting, and encouraging her on her musical sojourn in the city.

In her own words “Recuerdos de Granada/Memoirs of Granada, is the story of those two years.

Jury retires in case of Leeds gang over international cocaine drug plot

A jury has retired to consider its verdicts in the trial of two people charged in connection with an international plot to smuggle £164 million of cocaine in to the UK.

Dawne Powell, 56, and James Hill, 30, are accused of taking part in the scheme which saw one tonne of the class A drug seized from a yacht off the coast of Ireland in September last year.

The trial at Leeds Crown Court heard that Powell, from Guiseley, West Yorkshire, helped her husband Stephen Powell by buying and insuring the Makayabella yacht, buying flights to the Caribbean, buying equipment for the yacht and paying for another boat used in the plot.

Hill, from Ilkley, West Yorkshire, is accused ofaccompanying Stephen Powell on a trip to Wales, where the second boat was harboured, and making a call to the Makayabella on the day the drugs were seized by the Irish Navy.

The jury, of five men and seven women, heard that the Makayabella was seized on September 23 last year.

It had 1,025 2.2lb (1kg) blocks of high-purity cocaine contained in 41 packages on board. The five-day trial was told the street value of the drugs would have been around £164 million.

Mark McKone, prosecuting, told the jury that Stephen Powell bought the £100,000 Makayabella in his name but the yacht was paid for in four instalments from a bank account in the sole name of his wife. She also paid for insurance for the yacht and bought a satellite


phone, the court heard.

Mr McKone said Powell paid for flights to St Lucia for her husband and his father, John Powell, to collect the boat, which later brought the cocaine across the Atlantic from Venezuela.

The jury heard the second boat, the Sea Breeze, was bought by Stephen Powell but the cash payment of £18,350 was made by his wife. The boat was due to be used to meet the Makayabella out at sea to transfer the drugs, Mr McKone said.

Powell told the court she did not know her husband, who has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to import cocaine, was involved in the drug smuggling plot and thought he wanted the Makayabella to sell on for profit. She said she believed the Sea Breeze was to be used forEmmy and the Incredible Shrinking Rat

Release
Introduced on Firefall, the band's debut album recorded at Miami's Criteria Studios and released in the spring of 1976, "You Are the Woman" was issued as the album's second single that summer after several other tracks had received airplay on FM radio including the lead single: "Livin' Ain't Livin'", which had just missed the Top 40 of the Hot 100 in Billboard. After two months of support in smaller markets, "You Are the Woman" broke in such larger areas as Chicago and Houston in October 1976,be something that isn't an increase in power or special skill, might be like armor or something to keep him alive he doesn't need to actively train. On Ichigo he is in the same boat. He didn't have enough time to work on his new Bankai skills, might be the same as the old one but I doubt that would be even the tip of the iceberg. His original bankai was said to be an enhancement of his battle skills by Byakuya, and everyone who went up to SKR had their zankaputo true powers revealed. Rukia wasn't just ice/snow it froze her in its true form, Renji wasn't just a big cannon firing snake it was a close range snake with a cannon bite. So how about Ichigo


to be of his normal human size, instead of being the size of a car keys... yep that's how much Ichigo's Quincy power is worth compared to his Hollow and Shinigami...). From the looks of it, Old Man Z aided Ichigo using his own Quincy (or from Bach borrowed) powers only two times, when he boosted Ichigo's attack power against Zaraki and when he boosted Ichigo's defense against Bach. Of course there were also those times in which Old Man Z had channeled the Shinigami-part-Zanpakutou's power through himself, to aid Ichigo (like at the time of FGT).

Yep, the Bankai that Ichigo wielded against Aizen in Karakura Town outskirts of SS fight, was equivalent of his True Bankai (while not being it ). Of course, the power was thereas it was created in Soul Society). Though I wonder how that exactly works ? Does he sees something, comes with a name witch he sends telepathically to the creator or what ? Or how come every Zanpakutou accepted the names of themselves and their techniques given by the Bald Monk ?

Well, I hope Kubo goes in-depth with the history of SS, Royal Guard, and Bach's Orgins.... I'm not so sure he was born on Earth... Also if someone has a child that Bach gave part of his soul to... then in return the child is born with part of Bach's Soul then right? So how was Uryu and Ichigo able to survive Bach's Genocide of the Qunicies, and along with Ichigo's Sisters? I have to expect that


at some time Uryu's mom was affected by a hollow while having Uryu and that would mean he's actually part Fullbringer then right? That's the only way I can explain why they wouldn't die... also why do Hollow's effect Qunicies is due to the Hollow's Soul being more then one and devouring part of Bach's soul or there Soul?

Well, I hope Kubo goes in-depth with the history of SS, Royal Guard, and Bach's Orgins.... I'm not so sure he was born on Earth...

Well, if you're a Habs fan, you know at least one: Matthew Peca.

A week after hearing his name being called at the Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul, MN, the Tampa Bay Lightning's seventh-round pick (201st overall) in 2011 decided to head to the Dominican Republic with his high school on a humanitarian volunteering trip.

Over those 10 days down south, Peca worked on a sugar cane plantation, helped paint buildings, and met with children in schools.

"I had planned it all out with my high school before getting drafted. I was playing Junior A and I wasn't sure I would get drafted. It was a


them," he explained.

And if you needed more convincing that Peca possesses raw, natural talent, keep in mind that he never took piano lessons. He's got a musical ear, as they say.

"I just decided to do that in my free time," outlined Peca. "I always liked it, but I never took it seriously. I just like to play music to relax."

When asked what kind of music he likes to play, Peca responded that he was open to all different kinds.

"I like playing a bit of everything, whether it's new or old, I don't have a favorite style in particular," said the first-year Hab.

In addition to his musical ability, Peca said he planned on also focusing on his more artistic side duringthe Canadiens' bye week.

"We have a lot of free time during the day, that's why I like doing different things," described the 25-year-old. "I like to paint and draw."

Proud Quinnipiac alum

Peca finished his degree in business and marketing following the 2014-15 season at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut.

The forward, who signed a two-year deal with the Canadiens on July 1, picked the college route both due to the importance he placed on his studies, but also on his overall development.

"I didn't think I was ready. I wasn't built physically enough. I needed more time to train," recalled Peca. "I knew it would be tough to crack the lineup on a professional team if I didn't increase my muscle mass a bit."

Four years later, Peca is one of three hockey


players in Quinnipiac University's Athletics Hall of Fame.

"It's an honor. I worked hard to get where I am," described Peca. "Team results have always been more important for me, but it's something I'm proud of."

Another fun fact about Peca is that he's the first player to have ever played at Quinnipiac to have also earned a point in the NHL.

That said, he doesn't think it'll take long for the feat to be repeated.

"It'll come. More and more Quinnipiac players are playing well and making it into the League," affirmed Peca. "It's good, because it's a pretty small and lesser-known university."

Peca closed out his NCAA career with 42 goals and 143 points in 157 games.

This week, Parkland survivor Kyle Kashuv announced that Harvard University has withdrawn his acceptance to the college. In the aftermath of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the then-high school junior became a prominent voice for school safety, meeting with politicians across the political spectrum. He was also a prominent defender of Second Amendment rights. After scoring 1550 on his SATs and graduating second in his class, Kashuv was admitted to Harvard, turning down scholarship money at other schools to do so.

Then came the tsunami.

Former classmates who oppose Kashuv's politics revealed on social media that when he was 16, months before the Parkland shooting, he typed egregious racist slurs,


including the N-word, in a private Google doc. This revelation led Kashuv to immediately apologize publicly for his use of the language, which he insisted was not a reflection of racist belief but a juvenile attempt to shock his peers. He pointed to his record of public-facing accomplishment and pledged to learn from his mistakes. He issued an apology to Harvard, taking full responsibility for his comments; he reached out to the Office of Diversity and Inclusion to see what steps he could take to assure them that he had changed.

No matter. Harvard's admissions committee decided to withdraw his acceptance.

There are several lessons here — all of them bad for the country.

First, grace is no longer an aspect of American life — at least for one side ofJones, who killed her own 4-year-old , just two years ago. The problem for Kashuv is that he is conservative; the old racist slurs were merely a means of damaging him. There is little question that were pro-gun control David Hogg the Parkland survivor at issue rather than Kashuv, a little more grace might have been applied here.

Second, public life comes with inherent risks and thus should be avoided by rational actors. Kashuv would have been admitted to Harvard if he had never engaged in activism: He scored a 1550 on his SAT and graduated second in his class. No one on the radical left or alt-right would have tried to destroy his academic career; no one would have bothered. Kashuv dared to speak up politically and thus


became a target. Rational actors will take note and stay away from the public square, leaving that square to the most shameless and the most enigmatic.

Third, Harvard has become an institution not for education but for capitulation to the mob. Forget Kashuv for a second. Focus instead on Harvard Law School professor Ronald Sullivan, a political liberal who was tossed as dean of a residential house for the grave sin of acting as a defense attorney on Harvey Weinstein's team. Cross Harvard's most radical students or the wokescolds on social media and the administration will capitulate in short order.

Kashuv will be fine. He'll move on, go to another school, mature and grow. But Harvard won't be a part of that process. The social media mob was motivated notNo. 1 (1947).

Competitions were held from late 1947 to early 1948 with samples from Dementiev (KB-P-410), Bulkin (TKB-415) and Kalashnikov (AK-47). The results were inconclusive though with Kalashnikov's design not necessarily the best rifle since it suffered in the accuracy department. Regardless, Kalashnikov's design was reliable and that's what the Russians preferred. An order by the Ministry of Armament dated January 21st, 1948, directed both Izhmash and Izhmekh to assist in supplying parts and assemblies for the new rifle. They issued another order in May of 1948 saying that the main production for the new rifle would be done exclusively by Izhmash starting in January of 1949. While production started in mid-1948, official adoption of the AK-47 did not occur until June 18, 1949 by the directive 2611-1033cc


AMES, Iowa -- Charlie Masterson, adjunct associate professor of
architecture in Iowa State University's College of Design, received the AIA
Iowa Educator Award from the Iowa Chapter of the American Institute of

She's been married for less than a month, but Molly Sims is already settling into the role of happy housewife.

"Three weeks in, I am good," she told PEOPLE Thursday night at the eBay Inspiration Shop in New York. "I am trying to learn how to cook. I learned how to cook Thanksgiving, but never learned how to cook for two people. So that, for married life, is my next venture."

So far, the process is going fairly well; the Project Accessory host said she'd made grilled salmon salad, carrot-and-parsnip mash and a cauliflower and Parmesan dish all this week. "We ordered Chinese last night, though," she admitted.

However, learning by trial and error also has its challenges: Sims was sporting a burn she

She's not letting a burn stop her, though. Sims is planning to cook Thanksgiving dinner for her family when they head down to Mexico for the holiday. "I'm going to bring the south to Mexico," she joked.

Reflecting on her September wedding to producer Scott Stuber, Sims said the day was "so fun. I can't believe it's over. It just went so fast, and we had the best time."

In 1943, the year Lady Bird Johnson purchased KTBC, the Federal Communications Commission, which reviewed all broadcast-license transfers, was close to being abolished, Caro writes. Lyndon Johnson used his political influence in both Congress and the White House to prevent that from happening. The FCC was among the most politicized agencies in the government, Caro asserts, and it knew who its friends were.

Mrs. Johnson's ability as a business woman was not the crucial factor in the acquisition of the station or, once it was acquired, in its early growth. ... Lyndon Johnson had worked at politics for years to achieve power; now he was working at politics to make money.

Under Texas law, the station belonged solely to Lady Bird because she purchased it with herinheritance. But as her spouse, Lyndon owned half of all the profits. He was ultra-active in recruiting staff and running the operation, and by 1948, Caro writes, he was telling his friends that he was a millionaire.

Pope 'not afraid of schism' within Catholic Church under pressure from US clergy

US Catholic leaders, websites and TV channels have attacked the Pope for his theology and its focus on the poor and the environment, as well as matters of orthodoxy. Photo: AP

Pope Francis has accused his critics of stabbing him in the back and said he is “not afraid” of the Catholic Church splitting.

Speaking after a trip to Africa, the Pope took issue with conservative clergymen who have criticised him.

Those men do not “want good for the Church”, but only care about “changing popes, changing styles, creating a schism”, he said.

US Catholic leaders have attacked the Pope in the past for his views.

It is the first time he has spoken


so openly about the chance of a split in the Church, which has more than one billion followers worldwide.

Pope Francis made his comments on a flight back to Rome after a trip to Madagascar, Mauritius, and Mozambique.

He was asked by a reporter about attacks from conservative Catholic leaders, TV channels and websites in the US.

Some Catholic leaders – particularly in the US but also some others around the world – have accused the Pope of diluting their faith, and have even called for his resignation.

They are unhappy with his stances on the environment and immigration. But in particular, they are opposed to his moves to allow divorced and remarried Catholics to take Communion.

“I’m not afraid of schism,” Pope Francis said, adding that many had happened in the historyantipopes – other men who claim to be the pope and refuse to bow to Rome. Antipope Benedict XIII granted the University of St Andrews in Scotland its university status in 1413.

More recently, French Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre ordained four bishops without papal approval in 1988.

the issuance of an arrest warrant and subsequent arrest of Monica Sierra on charges of burglary and grand larceny. Sierra was a student at Furman University. She lived with several roommates in a rented condominium at Court Ridge Condominiums. During December of 1987 Sierra and her roommates hosted a party at their condominium. A table from another condominium unit at Court Ridge was brought into Sierra's apartment for the party. It is disputed whether Sierra had anything to do with the removal of the table from the other condominium. In any *219 event, the table was discovered to be missing from the other condominium by Jim Skelton, property manager for the regime at Court Ridge. He made this discovery while showing the other unit to a prospective tenant.This individual was also a student at Furman. While showing the condo to the student, Skelton also discovered a coffee table and several chairs in the unit were damaged.
The other student was a friend of Sierra. He visited her while at the condominium complex and saw the missing table in her unit. He advised her to return it. During a later telephone conversation with Skelton, the student revealed he knew where the missing table was located. The student did not want to get Sierra into trouble so he identified the general location of her condo to Skelton but testified he did not give Sierra's name to Skelton. The table was returned by someone during late December. However, Skelton continued to pursue the matter of the table and damaged


furniture.
On December 22, 1987, Skelton made a complaint to the Greenville County Sheriff's Office. The complaint was taken by Officer Elliot. Officer Elliot worked for Court Ridge part-time as a security officer. The incident report stated Skelton, the complainant, had received information that the suspect, Sierra, had entered Unit B-102 at Court Ridge and had removed certain items including a kitchen table, kitchen chairs, and a coffee table. The report also stated the suspect had returned the items to the unit but the chairs and coffee table were damaged beyond repair. The report further noted "the victim is unsure of prosecution pending restitution of the damaged items."
On January 13, 1988, Officer Elliott filed a supplemental report stating the "victim and suspect have not made an agreement on damagesat this time. The victim request [sic] the case status remain active for 5 more days." Officer Elliot had made efforts after the initial report to contact Sierra at her apartment and had left his card asking her to contact him. One of her roommates apparently called her about the visit by Officer Elliot. Sierra was in Florida on Christmas vacation but had already contacted a Florida attorney about the matter. The attorney had been contacted because Skelton had entered Sierra's condo during late December looking for the missing table. Sierra was at home when Skelton came looking for the *220 table. She told Skelton the table had been borrowed for a party and had been returned. She offered to pay rent for it but denied taking or


damaging the other items. The Florida attorney appears to have had some communication or attempted communication with Officer Elliot on behalf of Sierra but no resolution of the matter occurred.
Sierra was arrested on January 29, 1988, on charges of burglary and grand larceny. Two days earlier Skelton had signed a victim/witness statement indicating Sierra had entered the condo and removed a table and other furnishings. There is a factual dispute between Skelton and Officer Elliot as to who actually pursued the warrant at that time. Sierra contacted a local attorney and was released on a recognizance bond. Through the efforts of the attorney the solicitor of Greenville County dismissed the warrant against Sierra. This civil action was subsequently filed.

The appellants, Skelton and Court Ridge, assert the trial courtwas sentenced to eighty-seven months at FCI-
Raybrook following a conviction for bank robbery. While at FCI-
Raybrook, Micolo developed grandiose and paranoid religious preoc-
cupations and reported auditory hallucinations of God and Satan that
resulted in his being disruptive in the prison chapel. Micolo also
refused to eat because he believed his food was poisoned. In March
1997, Micolo was transferred to FCI-Butner because of concern for
his mental status. Shortly thereafter, the government filed a motion to
commit Micolo to the custody of the Attorney General for psychiatric
care and treatment pursuant to § 4245. The district court held a hear-
ing on May 1, 1997, and ordered that Micolo be committed pursuant
to § 4245.

On appeal, Micolo argues that there was insufficient evidence to
show that he was mentally ill. At the hearing, Micolo's treating psy-
