The Publicity Committee is responsible for getting the word out to the Midwest MLA membership about the conference and promoting the host city and state. We have already been working hard since the spring and the 2017 meeting was our first big milestone in planning. Besides observing and meeting our counterparts at the 2017 meeting, the 2018 Planning Committee sponsored a table with promotional materials, and announced the conference at the MHSLA Business Meeting and the Midwest Chapter Business Meeting.

The panel concluded by sharing a list of the many health sciences libraries across the country which are hosting Tech Hubs, Technology Labs, Innovation Spaces and Sandboxes. In a nice followup on Sunday evening, Kellie, Jennifer and Jason held their own VR petting zoo, while karaoke was simultaneously going on at the front of the room. They set up a full VR system and also demonstrated the Virtuali-Tee by Curiscope which gives the VR user a guided tour inside the human body.

Dr. Richlin also stressed how compassion is needed as a doctor. Along with compassion, lifelong learning was another skill needed by doctors which can easily be attained by forming a connection with their medical librarian. Dr. Richlin also discussed the Research Readiness Self Assessment (RRSA) which was an excellent example of how the medical library can become more involved with medical education.

Dr. Michelle Daniel concluded the panel with her presentation on the new curriculum at the University of Michigan’s Medical School. Some of the changes to the curriculum include decreasing the number of years in which science is taught, increasing the number of clinical years, including leadership training, and a course on doctoring (covering all 4 years) to enhance students’ communication, collaboration skills, and compassion.

The Wood & Iverson Lumber Company was started in 1898 by William W. Wood and Iver C. Iverson. The company's first shingle mill was located east of Snohomish in an area called French Creek. The company used horses for logging until 1903, when it purchased its first locomotive. In May 1912, after logging out the area around French Creek, the company was relocated to Hobart in King County, and a sawmill was built and logging railroad track laid. Operations at Hobart ceased in the 1940s.

Hobart was located in Maple Valley. Settlers began filing land claims in the area as far back as 1878. The Columbia and Puget Sound Railroad reached Hobart in 1898 with its Maple Valley branch. In 1903, the little community got a post office andwas officially named Hobart, reportedly after President William McKinley's vice president, George A. Hobart. Sometime in 1915, Wood & Iverson acquired the Hobart Store. The company had also built a three-story boardinghouse that the locals called "The Hobart" along with a dining room, a cookhouse, a pool room, and a barber shop. It had also started building company houses along the west side of Hobart Road, building 36 over the years.

A lot of that has to do with the fact that Wisconsin spent a few decades getting outrecruited regularly by Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Indiana and maybe some others.

Shanghailand: Mind or Matter?

About Me

I'm a playwright and teacher transitioning back into the USA after living, writing, and teaching in Shanghai for the year. At this point, Shanghailand is more a state of mind, recalling back to a place so infinitely interesting and now forming a new lens to look at the United States that is 'America.' (Quotes cuz America really is two continents and not just one superpower country). Alas, the wondering midst the wondering.the terrible living and working conditions the migrant workers are subjected to, the medical effects, or the non-economic effects.

It was this past week during our days in the indigenous community of Amatlán that I learned about the hardships migrant workers endure. We heard the story of Alvaro, a man who migrated to both U.S and Canada with work visas to work in the agricultural sector. The living conditions he described are inhumane. Imagine living in a house with twelve other workers where there aren't enough beds, only one refrigerator and one stove. The carpet was full of bedbugs and mold growing along the walls. The work conditions aren't usually any better. Migrant workers usually work twelve hour days, seven days a week working with chemicals such as pesticides.

The doors of the Sabarimala Temple have been thrown open for a five-day monthly puja.

Though the police had requested the district administration to impose section 144 CRPC in the area, the prohibitory order has not been enforced as yet.

Even as the hill temple opened its doors, many pilgrims, fearing violence over the entry of women into the shrine, opted to keep away from the pilgrimage. Footfall at the temple was low on the first day of the shrine’s doors being opened.

The police had asked for the prohibitory orders to be imposed to prevent clashes between protesters and women activists who want to visit the temple.

The temple and its base camps had witnessed violent clashes between police and traditionalists during the 64-day annual pilgrimageHigh school athlete pushes for defibrillators at games

A new requirement that defibrillators be available at all varsity football and hockey games could go into effect next school year, thanks to the efforts of a Milford teen.

Fayemi leaves Fayose for God’s judgment with Ekiti debt now N117b

FREEPRESS – Ekiti State governor-elect, Dr. Kayode Fayemi said he has left incumbent Governor Ayo Fayose to God to judge after leaving office.

He said he would accept whatever liability and assets left behind by the outgoing government, saying he believed government is a continuum, and that he was coming to office to simply make a difference.

The News Agency of Nigeria, (NAN) reports that Fayemi spoke while receiving the report of the Transition Committee constituted to interface with the outgoing administration to facilitate smooth change of government.

He said he was leaving the outgoing governor and his regime to God over the alleged mismanagement of state funds and resources.

He promised to make a drastic change in the life of thepeople the moment he is sworn to office on October 16.

NAN reports that the governor-elect was reacting to the latest debt figure released by the Debt Management Office (DMO) which revealed that the debt profile increased from N18 billion during Fayemi’s era to N117 billion, under Fayose’s watch.

The committee had told Fayemi that the humongous debt was outside arrears of salaries, pensions, gratuities and money owed retirees and contractors by the Fayose administration.

Fayemi also suggested the enactment of a law to be known as Transition Act that would stipulate the duties of an outgoing administration and an incoming administration to pave the way for seamless transfer of power.

A centre-Right alliance has snatched the Italian region of Basilicata from 25 years of centre-Left rule, with Matteo Salvini now setting his sights on success at the European Parliament elections.

Basilicata is the fifth successive region that the centre-Right has taken from the Left in recent months, after Sardinia, Molise, Abruzzo and Friuli-Venezia Giulia, which borders Austria and Slovenia in Italy’s north-east.

With most of the votes counted, a centre-Right bloc that included Mr Salvini’s League party took 42% of the vote.

The League tripled the number of votes it won in the region, which forms the instep of Italy’s boot, compared with last year’s general election.

The Right’s candidate, retired police general Vito Bardi, will become the new governor of Basilicata, which is chiefly known for Matera, a town where peopleonce lived in cave-like dwellings known as “sassi” and which has been used as a set for many films.

The centre-Left won 33% of votes while the Five Star Movement, which governs at national level in coalition with the League, took 20% - less than half the votes it won in the region during the general election a year ago.

The Right’s win is likely to exacerbate tension between the League and Five Star within the national government, amid speculation in the Italian media that it could collapse by the end of the year.

Mr Salvini’s provocative rhetoric on law and order and closure of Italy’s ports to migrant rescue ships has been widely criticised by


humanitarian organisations and opposition MPs.

His citation of quotes by Mussolini and Ezra Pound, a notorious American fascist, has raised fears of a dangerous drift towards the far-Right.

He took to social media on Monday to celebrate the win in Basilicata.

“The League has tripled its vote in a year. Goodbye to the Left, now Europe is going to change,” he said in reference to the European Parliament elections at the end of May.

His party’s success was striking given that its traditional support base is in northern Italy, where it once campaigned for secession from a south that it regarded as indolent, corrupt and rife with Mafia criminality.

In January,The cutting efficiency of an instrument depends in large part on the angle between the long axis of the cutting edge and the direction of the cutting stroke, the blade-stroke angle. An oblique, or slicing, angle is more efficient than a perpendicular, chopping one. Oblique cutting has been used from the early stone knife and flat arrowhead to the scythe, saber and scimitar, sawtooth, scissors and even the guillotine. The axe and modern safety razor are the only common tools that use a perpendicular angle and chop, rather than slice. In fact, the axe is often made with a curved blade or used with a slicing stroke, and some prehistoric, bronze age razors had curved blades so as to shave obliquely. The modern, conventional wet safety razor, however,


arrived at the border with their parents.

ProPublica stumbled upon one more case late last month after receiving a call from a distraught Salvadoran father who had been detained in South Texas, and whose 4-year-old son, Brayan, had literally been yanked from his grasp by a Customs and Border Protection agent after they crossed the border and asked for asylum. Julio, the father, asked to be identified only by his first name because he was fleeing gang violence and worried about the safety of relatives back home.

“I failed him,” said Julio, 27, sobbing uncontrollably. “Everything I had done to be a good father was destroyed in an instant.”

ProPublica tracked down Brayan, who has reddish-blond hair and an endearing lisp, at a temporary foster care agency in New York City,who was at the same detention facility. He sounded desperate, crying and pleading for answers. He said he’d turned himself and Brayan into the authorities as soon as they’d crossed the border, asked for asylum and told immigration agents that his mother, who lives in Austin, Texas, was willing to help him get on his feet. Seven days later, a Border Patrol agent took Brayan, dressed in a SpongeBob SquarePants T-shirt, away, screaming.

Julio said all he knew was that his son was somewhere in New York. As soon as we hung up, I called Ziesemer at Catholic Charities, which has a government contract to provide legal services to the unaccompanied minors in the city. I asked whether she’d heard of Brayan.

“We do know this kid,” Ziesemer quickly responded,


“but were not aware he was separated from his father.”

Ziesemer was audibly shaken. “Until you called, all I had was his name on a spreadsheet,” she said.

Ziesemer immediately arranged to have Brayan, who had been placed in a temporary foster home, brought to her office. Her experience told her not to expect much from their first interaction, partly because Brayan was likely to be afraid, and partly because he was only 4. So she tried putting Brayan at ease by opening a box of crayons and a Spider-Man coloring book.

He warmed up to her quickly, putting down his crayons to show her his Spider-Man moves and squiggling lines on a piece of paper when she asked whether he knew how to write his name. But, as Ziesemer expected,though neatly combed. He didn’t have any tattoos, which are common among Central American gang members.

Through tears, Julio told me he’d replayed the days since his arrival at the border in his mind, trying to make sense of why authorities took away his son. Julio and Brayan had been taken to the “ice box,” a notorious air-conditioned cellblock that is the first stop for most immigrants intercepted at the border. Brayan developed a high fever and had to be taken to the hospital for treatment. A Border Patrol agent who drove Julio and his son scolded Julio for bringing a small boy on such a harrowing trip. Could that be the reason they took his son away? Was it because the agents had looked at the color of


faces of the 400 or so separated kids who had shuffled through over the summer. As Catholic Charities’ point person during the crisis, she said she came to know every single one of those kids by name. One 9-year-old girl went into a full panic attack when she was asked to step into a room without her sister because she thought Ziesemer was going to take her sister away like officials had taken her mother. “At one point, we had to have a meeting with the entire office to explain why the conference room was full of all these wailing kids,” she said.

Catholic Charities, the ACLU and several other large immigrant advocacy groups took the lead in putting the families together again; working the phones to find parentsUSA TODAY Sports has named Ohio State five-star cornerback commit Shaun Wade the American Family Insurance All-USA Defensive Player of the Year.

Wade will play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio, Texas, on Jan. 7, 2017, and enroll in classes just two days later. With the potential departure of both starting cornerbacks, Wade has a chance to make an immediate impact in the Buckeye secondary next season.

As the
year 2000 approached, two of the main topics of conversation were: Could the
world's computers handle the switchover, the so-called Y2K problem, and when
did the 21st century actually begin, in 2000 or 2001?

Numerical
nitpicking aside, it is clear the 21st century began in 1991 with the collapse
of the Soviet Union. The political, ideological and military confrontation that
had defined the second half of the 20th century was done.

What's
taking its place is only gradually becoming evident. At first there was a sort
end-of-history euphoria in the West, the belief that people would devote
themselves to computers and consuming. That giddiness lasted a decade until
Sept. 11, 2001, when a new element of the 21st century made itself dramatically
known.

History
had returned — this time taking the form of anti-modernist Islamic terrorism,
the Koran andof Crimea and the subsequent turmoil in Ukraine is another
key feature in the portrait. The process that had begun with the real beginning
of the 21st century in December 1991 had now come full circle. A Russia humiliated
by the Soviet failure and by the triumphalism of the West was now back with a
vengeance. With the $50 billion Olympics behind it, the Russia of 2014 was not
about to allow a failing Ukraine slip into the Western camp. That would mean
Russia would be outflanked by NATO from the Baltic to the Black Sea which
itself would become a sort of Lake NATO.

Russia
was immediately criticized for not acting in a 21st-century fashion — that is,
modern, rational and civilized. But it was the West that was deluded with
fantasies of order and decorum when perceived


as well as many
Western leaders–may largely have forgotten about it. But what we’re witnessing
now is geography’s revenge: in the East-West struggle for control of the buffer
state of Ukraine, in the post–Arab Spring fracturing of artificial Middle
Eastern states into ethnic and sectarian fiefs and in the unprecedented arms
race being undertaken by East Asian states as they dispute potentially
resource-rich waters. Technology hasn’t negated geography; it has only made it
more precious and claustrophobic.

Whereas
the West has come to think about international relations in terms of laws and
multinational agreements, most of the rest of the world still thinks in terms
of deserts, mountain ranges, all-weather ports and tracts of land and water.
The world is back to the maps of elementary school as a starting point for an
understanding of history, culture, religion and ethnicity–not tozero-sum
power politics. It is easy to forget that many Western policymakers and
thinkers have grown up in conditions of unprecedented security and prosperity,
and they have been intellectually formed by the post–Cold War world, in which
it was widely believed that a new set of coolly rational rules would drive
foreign policy. But leaders beyond America and Europe tend to be highly
territorial in their thinking. For them, international relations are a struggle
for survival. As a result, Western leaders often think in universal terms,
while rulers in places like Russia, the Middle East and East Asia think in
narrower terms: those that provide advantage to their nations or their ethnic
groups only.

We can
see this disconnect in the Middle East, which is unraveling in ways that would
be familiar to a 19th century geographer but less intuitive to


a Washington
policy wonk. The Arab Spring was hailed for months as the birth pangs of a new
kind of regional democracy. It quickly became a crisis in central authority,
producing not democracy but religious war in Syria, chaos in Yemen and Libya
and renewed dictatorship in Egypt as a popular reaction to incipient chaos and
Islamic extremism. Tunisia, seen by some as the lone success story of the Arab
Spring, is a mere fledgling democracy with land borders it can no longer
adequately control, especially in the southern desert areas where its frontiers
meet those of Algeria and Libya–a situation aggravated by Libya’s collapse.

Meanwhile,
Tripoli is no longer the capital of Libya but instead the central dispatch
point for negotiations among tribes, militias and gangs for control of
territory. Damascus is not the capital of Syria but onlythat of Syria’s most
powerful warlord, Bashar Assad. Baghdad totters on as the capital of a
tribalized Shi’ite Mesopotamia dominated by adjacent Iran–with a virtually
independent Kurdish entity to its mountainous north and a jihadist Sunnistan to
its west, the latter of which has joined a chaotic void populated by literally
hundreds of war bands extending deep across a flat desert terrain into Syria as
far as the Mediterranean.

Hovering
above this devolution of Middle Eastern states into anarchic warlorddoms is the
epic geographic struggle between a great Shi’ite state occupying the Iranian
Plateau and a medieval-style Sunni monarchy occupying much of the Arabian
Peninsula. The interminable violence and repression in eastern Saudi Arabia,
Bahrain and Sunnistan (covering both western Iraq and Syria) are fueled by this
Saudi-Iranian proxy war. Because Iran is developing the technological and
scientific base with which to


assemble nuclear weapons, Israel finds itself in
a de facto alliance with Saudi Arabia. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu can be defined by his zero-sum geographic fears, including that of
the tyranny of distance: the difficulty of his relatively small air force to
travel a thousand miles eastward, which bedevils his search for an acceptable
military option against Iran. This helps make him what he is: an obstinate
negotiating partner for both the Palestinians and the Americans.

Pacific Projection

Then
there is the most important part of the world for the U.S., the part with two
of the three largest economies (China and Japan) and the home of critical
American treaty allies: the Asia-Pacific region. This region too is undeniably
far less stable now than at the start of the 21st century, and for reasons that
can best be explained bygeography.

In the
early Cold War decades, Asian countries were preoccupied with their internal
affairs. China, under Mao Zedong’s depredations and Deng Xiaoping’s economic
reforms, was inwardly focused. Vietnam, the current territory of Malaysia and
to a lesser extent the Philippines were overwhelmed by internal wars and
rebellions. Singapore was building a viable city-state from scratch. And South
Korea and Japan were recovering from major wars.

Now
these states have consolidated their domestic affairs and built strong
institutions. They have all, with the exception of the poverty-racked
Philippines, benefited from many years of capitalist-style growth. But strong
institutions and capitalist prosperity lead to military ambitions, and so all
of these states since the 1990s have been enlarging or modernizing their navies
and air forces–a staggering military buildup to which the American media have
paid relatively scant attention.

Since
the 1990s, Asia’s share of military imports


territory. The various claims between China and
Japan in the East China Sea, and between China and all the other pleaders in
the South China Sea (principally Vietnam and the Philippines), are so complex
that while theoretically solvable through negotiation, they are more likely to
be held in check by a stable balance-of-power system agreed to by the U.S. and
Chinese navies and air forces. The 21st century map of the Pacific Basin,
clogged as it is with warships, is like a map of conflict-prone Europe from
previous centuries. Though war may ultimately be avoided in East Asia, the
Pacific will show us a more anxious, complicated world order, explained best by
such familiar factors as physical terrain, clashing peoples, natural resources
and contested trade routes.

India
and China, because of the high wall of the Himalayas, have developed formost
of history as two great world civilizations having relatively little to do with
each other. But the collapse of distance in the past 50 years has turned them
into strategic competitors in the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea. (This
is how technology abets rather than alleviates conflict.) And if Narendra Modi
of the Hindu-nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party is elected by a significant
majority in elections in April and May, as is expected by many, India will
likely pursue a fiercely geopolitical foreign policy, aligning even more
strongly with Japan against China.

China,
meanwhile, faces profound economic troubles in the coming years. The upshot
will be more regime-stoked nationalism directed at the territorial disputes in
the South China and East China seas and more rebellions at home from regionally
based ethnic groups such as the Turkic Muslim Uighurs, in


incontrovertible proof, persist in their denial of the mass
post-war exodus of Jews?

It was
at the height of the second intifada in 2002, when two Jews a day were being
beaten up on the streets of France, that Bensoussan decided to write about Jews
from Arab countries. The antisemitism sweeping France then, as now, was being
blamed on the Arab-Israel conflict. But Bensoussan, who left Morocco with his
family as a six-year-old, had a nagging feeling that the problem had deeper
root-causes.

The
condition of Jews in Arab lands is not one of harmonious coexistence between
Jews and Arab, shattered by the arrival of Zionism. Nor is it purely a
lachrymose tale of woe. Yes, Iraqi Jews experienced the Farhud pogrom in 1941 – but next to the Ukraine, Iraq was paradise,
Bensoussan contended. For 14 centuries, however, Jewish-Arab coexistencewas
laced with contempt: Muslims kept their non-Muslim minorities in a state of
degradation and humiliation as dhimmis.
Dhimmitude was most rigorously applied those parts of the Muslim world most
remote from Ottoman influence – Yemen, Morocco, and Shi’a Iran. With western
colonisation, the Arab world lashed out at its minorities. The word “fear”
keeps cropping up in the archives in association with the Jews.

Jews
were not uprooted from their 2,500-year existence in Arab countries by a few
Zionist emissaries. Nor did their exodus begin after WW2. Jews were already
leaving Morocco in the 19th century to found communities in Portugal, Brazil
and Venezuela. Jews migrated from Iraq to India and China. (On the other hand,
the Jewish population increased in Egypt).

Bensoussan
traces the fault-line between Jews and their Arab neighbours to the onset of
19th century modernity and emancipation. The


and terrorism that they initiated are the root cause of their own
suffering and the suffering of others will become possible to arrive at a true
peace in the Middle East.

The
Nakba is a bald-faced lie. No matter how many demonstrations are held in Israel
and other parts of the world, no matter how many PLO flags are hoisted, no
matter how many Israel Defense Forces soldiers are assaulted by rioters, it
still remains a lie. The proof for all to see is the date that the Nakba
demonstrators have chosen to mark the day − May 15. That is the day on which
the armies of Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq invaded Israel with the
intention of destroying the nascent Jewish State.

More
than the Arab rejection of the November 1947 United Nations resolution on the
establishment ofnot only for the
crimes they committed against those they considered to be their enemies, but
also for the tragedies that they themselves suffered as a result. Victory in
Europe Day, May 8, is not commemorated in Germany as the day of the German
catastrophe, and Victory in Japan Day, August 15, is not commemorated in Japan
as the day of the Japanese catastrophe. The Palestinians can take a lesson
here.

But far
more importantly, the recognition by the people of Germany and the people of
Japan of their guilt for their own suffering and the suffering of others paved
the way to peaceful relations with their former enemies. Peace could not have
been achieved without it. The same is true for the Palestinians and the rest of
the Arab World. It is only once they recognize that wars and

THAT CUBA FEELING

Red Pepper, October-November 2012

Fifty years ago this October the world watched, seemingly powerless to do anything as a US-Soviet stand-off brought us close to nuclear Armageddon. PAUL ANDERSON looks at what has happened with nuclear disarmament in the half century since

On 14 October 1962, a US Air Force U-2 reconnaissance plane flew over Cuba taking photographs of the ground below. The next day, Central Intelligence Agency analysts examined the pictures – and concluded that they showed the construction of a launch site for Soviet missiles, confirming their suspicions that Moscow was creating a nuclear forward base in the Caribbean.

Thus began the Cuban missile crisis – a 13-day stand-off between the United States and the Soviet Union that brought the world closer to all-out nuclearhe was ousted two years later. Kennedy won, but he did not live long to savour his victory – he was assassinated in November 1963 – and the hubris that the successful resolution of the crisis instilled in the American establishment played a disastrous role in escalating US intervention in Vietnam.

Britain and CND

Britain was not an actor in the missile crisis. Harold Macmillan’s Conservative government was kept in the dark by the Kennedy administration in its early stages. Macmillan privately expressed polite concern to Kennedy that the US might be going too far in ratcheting up the confrontation with the Soviets – he was worried most of all by the implications for West Berlin, which he feared could be subjected to another Soviet blockade or even invasion –


but in public he gave robust support to the Americans.

For the British people, the problem was not the future of Berlin but what appeared to be the strong possibility of nuclear war. Newspaper circulations soared as, day by day, tension mounted.

But the crisis didn’t benefit the movement for nuclear disarmament. The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), founded in early 1958 with the support of the Labour left and its weekly papers, the New Statesman and Tribune, had enjoyed a spectacular political success in 1960, when its lobbying of trade unions and constituency Labour parties led to the Labour conference adopting a policy of unilateral nuclear disarmament, against the histrionic opposition of the party leader, Hugh Gaitskell. But Gaitskell and his allies had overturned unilateralism at the next year’sconference – and the CND leadership subsequently found itself without a viable political strategy and facing a barrage of criticism from activists for putting all its energies into Labour. By 1962, its influence was on the wane.

There was still life in the peace movement. CND’s Easter 1962 annual march from the Aldermaston Atomic Weapons Research Establishment to London attracted 150,000 to its closing rally, its biggest ever crowd. But the impact of the Cuban crisis was demobilising. On one hand, it showed the futility of demonstrating – and on the other it showed that the leaders of the superpowers were not in the end prepared to launch a nuclear war. Activists drifted away from the movement; the nuclear powers agreed a Partial Test Ban Treaty in 1963 that


seemed to indicate there was hope of multilateral nuclear disarmament by negotiation; and by 1964, when Labour won a general election under Harold Wilson, the movement for British unilateral nuclear disarmament was part of the past. Its activists moved on, to housing campaigns, workplace militancy and opposition to the US war in Vietnam.

The second wave

CND kept going as a small pressure group with a few thousand members through the 1960s and 1970s, a forlorn survivor that few thought would again play a significant role. Meanwhile, international nuclear diplomacy ground on. The Partial Test-Ban Treaty was followed by the 1970 Non-Proliferation Treaty, which committed non-nuclear states to remaining non-nuclear and nuclear states to keeping nuclear know-how to themselves (though its impact was limited because India, Pakistan and Israel refusedto sign and subsequently developed their own nuclear weapons). The two superpowers negotiated interminably, reaching significant agreements on limiting strategic nuclear forces and anti-ballistic missile systems in 1972 (SALT-1 and the ABM treaty) and a further agreement on strategic arms in 1979 (SALT-2), though it was not ratified by the US Congress.

But then everything changed. What had seemed to be an inexorable process of winding down the cold war – the 1970s saw not only nuclear arms agreements but also the Helsinki accords guaranteeing borders in Europe and respect for human rights – suddenly went into reverse. In December 1979, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. Days later, Nato announced that it would be deploying new American intermediate-range nuclear missiles in Europe – cruise and Pershing 2– if Moscow


up throughout Britain and CND was a mass movement again. Labour adopted a non-nuclear defence policy at its autumn 1980 conference; the next month Michael Foot, a founder member of CND, became Labour leader. In 1981, feminist pacifists established a peace camp outside the US base at Greenham Common in Berkshire, where the first batch of cruise missiles would be based.

For the next six years, the movement against nuclear arms was central to politics in Britain. It was huge: at its height in 1983-84, CND estimated that it had 100,000 national members and perhaps 250,000 in affiliated local groups, and its demonstrations were massive, with 300,000 turning out in London in 1983. The movement was also much more sophisticated than in its first wave: there was no seriousargument between advocates of working through the Labour Party and proponents of direct action; and END provided it with leadership that could not easily be dismissed as pro-Soviet or hard-left (though the Tory government did its very best to persuade voters otherwise).

But Labour lost the 1983 election; cruise arrived in Britain in 1984; and work started on the Trident submarines. Meanwhile, Mikhail Gorbachev became Soviet leader and soon made it clear that he wanted an end to the new cold war. Under Neil Kinnock, who succeeded Foot as Labour leader in 1983, Labour stuck to a non-nuclear defence policy through the mid-1980s – but after Labour lost again in 1987, with a new détente apparently in the air and the peace movement much less vocal, he wavered. Gorbachev


Both Russia and the US have since reduced the number of actively deployed nuclear warheads to 2,000 apiece. But the stockpiles remain frighteningly large. According to the Stockholm Independent Peace Research Institute, the US retains in reserve nearly 6,000 and Russia more than 8,000. The total global warhead count in 2011 was around 20,000, not quite as many as at the time of the Cuba crisis, but not far off.

The nuclear threat now

British anti-nuclear-arms campaigners didn’t give up after 1987. Some went off to create think-tanks, others put their efforts into making CND an alternative foreign policy pressure group. During the 1991 Gulf war, the campaign formed the core of the anti-war movement. Almost simultaneously, however, came a calamitous collapse of membership and an austerity drive that closedgets to bed […]

Taliban chief Mullah Omar rules out Afghan peace talks Published duration 15 November 2010

image caption Mullah Omar is rumoured to be in Pakistan

There is no prospect of peace talks between the Taliban and Afghan government, the Taliban's leader Mullah Omar has insisted.

In a statement, Mullah Omar said "rumours of negotiation" were a ploy by Western powers to "cover up" their military defeat in Afghanistan.

A BBC correspondent says some insurgents - including some Taliban - have spoken to the Afghan government.

But Western diplomats say there have been no high-level talks.

Mullah Omar's wordy statement was released to media outlets and jihadist websites on the eve of the Muslim holiday Eid.

It comes four days before Nato leaders gather in the Portuguese capital Lisbon for a summit set to be dominated bythe Afghan conflict.

Withdrawal

In his statement, Mullah Omar says: "The enemy is retreating and facing siege in all parts of the country day in and day out. Their life casualties are spiralling up.

"It is because of this pressure that the enemy has resorted to spreading the misleading rumours of peace talks."

Mullah Omar, who is rumoured to be in Pakistan, says the "sole way for our salvation is the armed jihad", or holy war.

The "solution of the issue lies in withdrawal of the foreign invading troops and establishment of a true Islamic and independent system in the country," he adds.

Mullah Omar also addresses former jihadi leaders working with Hamid Karzai's administration, urging them to join the struggle against the invaders.

"Was the aim behind your 14-years-long jihad [against the Russians] to let the place of the Russians to be occupied by the Americans?" he asks.

Casualties mount

This year has been the most deadly for Nato forces fighting in Afghanistan since the invasion of 2001.

In his statement, Mullah Omar says his aim is to increase Taliban operations "to entangle the enemy in an exhausting war of attrition and wear it away like the former Soviet Union".

About 150,000 foreign troops are currently in the country, though US President Barack Obama is planning to begin gradually pulling US forces out from July 2011.

It is hoped that security responsibility will be handed over completely to Afghan forces in 2014, though some analysts say the current level of violence suggestsCARSON, Calif. -- LA Galaxy club President Chris Klein confirmed that the Galaxy are expecting to have a head coach in place by the end of 2016.

The Galaxy’s club president confirmed that the club is considering both internal candidates and external candidates for the position. Klein named only one potential coaching option (Galaxy II head coach Curt Onalfo) while stating that a majority of the candidates will be from Major League Soccer, as well as potentially one, foreign candidate.

CARIBOU (NEWS CENTER Maine) — A 27-year-old likely high on hallucinogens chose the wrong home to trespass Tuesday.

Caribou police said they got a call at about 3:30 a.m. Tuesday from a homeowner on Lombard Road reporting that a man had tried to get into his house.

He told police he had the intruder held at gunpoint.

The homeowner told police he had heard someone trying to get into his house from an attached garage, so he grabbed his gun and went out to find the intruder in the garage.

Police said officers arrived and found Dakota Michaud of Caribou, who they believe had entered the garage andone thing we know from past experience is that the NSA has consistently abused its powers. During the Vietnam War, for instance, the agency routinely intercepted communications outside its legal purview and ran an illegal operation known as “Minaret” that spied on anti-war figures ranging from boxer Muhammad Ali to syndicated humorist Art Buchwald to Sen. Frank Church (D-ID). The latter would chair hearings in the 1970s exposing massive illegal and improper actions by the NSA, FBI, and CIA, giving rise to FISA, which was passed in 1978. In 2008, ABC News reported on NSA operatives listening in on and sharing recordings of phone-sex calls between U.S. troops and their spouses in the States and routinely listening in on Red Cross and other relief workers as well.

President Trump is one of the former, Colin Kaepernick is a representative of the latter.

Kaepernick is black, although quite pale for a black person, and his most recent anti-patriotic act was attacking Betsy Ross's flag, as it appeared on some sneakers. In Charlottesville, among other things the home of Thomas Jefferson's University of Virginia, Jefferson's birthday is no longer to be celebrated. One reason for that: the old lie about Sally Hemings. [Charlottesville scraps Jefferson’s birthday as holiday, July 2, 2019] But the anniversary of his death is still celebrated perforce: he died on July 4, 1826.

The only thing that Kaepernick knows about pre-Civil War America is that

So celebrate America, and when people are offended by that, you'll know them for your enemies, and America's.

America isn't going anywhere.

John Adams, who died the same day Jefferson did in 1826, said on the Second of July, 1776, when the vote on the Declaration of Independence was taken,

"[The date] will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this Continent to the other from this time forward forever more."

Argentina: The Rebord UFO Sighting

In the early morning hours of Sunday, November 8 (0220 hrs), 2009, the Rebord family returned hme to Barrio Sanatorio. The family, consisitng of Jorge Pedro (Pepe) Rebord, María Isabel (wife) and Laura Rossana (daughter), had toured the area before returning home. As they exited their truck on the street in question, Pep looked skyward over the building (Barrio IAPV, 40 dwellings) and was able to see an object moving in a south-to-north direction. Examining it more closely, he was able to see two additional objects in loose formation.

The lights observed by the witnesses were light brown in color and had a slightly bouncing movement, with moderate speed, as the witnesses were able to see them for five (5) minutes approximately.


It should be kept in mind that it was a clear, moonless night, which made description easier.

The objects were rather high in the air, and the witnesses were unable to express this in meters, and exact measurements are not possible at night.

The head of household added that this is the second time that he has seen something unusual in this community of San Jose. The other sighting occured in 2002-03 and in front of his house, but at 0030 hrs. (cannot recall the exact day or date). All local residents saw how the night turned to day, perceiving an object that he believes was a flying saucer. On the following day, the incident was the talk of the town.

DC Direct spoke to us about their Direct Action Comics Line featuring Superman and Bizarro. The new line typifies the DC Direct approach to toy development Ė collaborating with comic book artists to create a unique product closely connected to the books. Artist Adam Kubert raved about DC Direct sculptor Karen Palinkoís success in transforming his drawings into 3-D figures.

Asked about his experience, Kubert spoke of the interactive nature of the process. He was involved from JPEG to final paint and described his excitement at watching the artwork take shape. He cited DC Directís Jim Fleischer as an amazing source of knowledge about the DC Universe. Fleischer would provide information on obscure characters and DC Universe trivia. He also spent hours


with the mouth open. Bizarro also had extra articulation in the ribs to allow the figure to hunch over. DC Direct determines the level of articulation by balancing the need for movement against the artistís vision of the character. With too much articulation, the line of the sculpture is interrupted.

DC Direct begins the development process with an announcement of the artists joining the team. Once the cast is in place, they try to select the most important story. Fleischer acknowledges that this process is mainly an educated guess. Unless DC Comics indicates that a particular character should be included in the line, the company goes with internal selections. The sculptors, artists, and line director work together to move from the drawn page to a wax design.

                        FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND

       On August 6, 2017, Detective Kelly Johansen of the Atchison County Sheriff's
Office applied for a warrant to search Daniels' house because he believed Daniels was
selling methamphetamine. Detective Johansen cited three grounds in his affidavit to
support his request.

       First, Detective Johansen indicated that a confidential informant had performed a
controlled methamphetamine buy from Daniels two days earlier. Before the purchase,
Johansen searched the informant for drugs,


gave him $60, dropped him off near Daniels'
residence, parked on the street, and watched the informant enter the house. Since the
informant was wearing a wire, Johansen listened to the discussion between the informant
and a person Johansen believed to be Daniels. At one point, Johansen heard this person
offer to sell the informant two $20 packages, which the informant purchased. After the
sale, the informant left the residence; Johansen picked up the informant and returned to
the sheriff's office.

       The informant gave Detective Johansen the two packages and the unspent $20.
During the debriefing, the informant described entering the house, meeting Daniels in his
bedroom, purchasing $40 of methamphetamine from him, and leaving. Although he never
actually saw what was in the package, the informant was confident that Danielsinformed
Johansen that she believed drugs were being sold from Daniels' residence. The neighbor
described how visitors frequently came to the house (whether by car, bike, or on foot, and
particularly on weekends) but would leave after five minutes. Visitors used to receive
drugs while sitting in their cars, but they had recently begun to go inside the house.

       Third, Detective Johansen had monitored the residence on August 3 and 4. During
that time, he noticed several people entering and leaving the house, many people sitting
in their cars outside the house, and others yelling and arguing in the front yard. In the
detective's experience, high traffic levels were indicative of drug distribution.

       A district judge issued a search warrant for methamphetamine and


drug
paraphernalia on August 6—the same day Detective Johansen requested it. Later that
evening, the sheriff's office executed the warrant. Although deputies did not find
appreciable amounts of drugs, they found four pipes and five sets of scales in Daniels'
bedroom. Drug tests revealed methamphetamine, cocaine, and marijuana residue in three
of the pipes. The State charged Daniels with possession of methamphetamine, possession
of cocaine, possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

       Before trial, Daniels filed a motion to suppress the evidence obtained when the
deputies executed the warrant. Daniels argued the confidential informant was unreliable
because, contrary to the affidavit, he had never sold methamphetamine to the informant
in any controlled buy. The district court held a hearing on the suppression motion the
morning of trial. Detective Johansen and Danielsin Georgian restaurant on February 12 and sent to Poland for having violated Ukrainian law in September 2017 when he illegally crossed into the country from Poland.

The ex-Presdent of Georgia was allowed entry into Poland as the spouse of a European Union citizen, the Polish guards said. Saakashvili’s wife is Dutch.

The arrest came after a series of Ukrainian court rulings against the former Governor, who was stripped of his Ukrainian citizenship last year after a falling out with President Petro Poroshenko.

Saakashvili is also wanted in Georgia for multiple charges. In case he is extradited to his homeland, the third President of Georgia faces immediate arrest and imprisonment.


by isolation trenches. Each isolation trench has a floor and sidewalls spaced from each other. The trench sidewalls extend into the device substrate. The sidewalls in a bonded wafer extend to the bonding oxide layer.
The isolation trenches are formed by masking the device substrate and removing device silicon from unmasked regions to form trenches. Each trench has a floor and sidewalls spaced from each other. A nominally conformal layer of insulating material, typically silicon dioxide, is formed on the sidewalls and the floor. The insulating material tends to increase in thickness at the upper corner openings of the trench to produce dogbone structure. The dogbone structures are removed by a plasma anisotropic etch. A semiconductor material (polysilicon) is deposited on the device substrate to fill the trenches. Withmotion for severance was granted and his jury trial set for a date prior to LaMaster's.
Defendant and the complaining witness, Shirley Sigloch, gave conflicting accounts of the events which formed the basis of these charges. According to Mrs. Sigloch, she was approached by the defendant and LaMaster about 11 p. m. on July 19, 1965, in the parking lot of the Plainview Inn in *409 Denver. She was waiting for a bus, her escort having left her there about an hour earlier. Defendant offered her a ride home, which she twice refused, but later accepted. Before they reached the car, she changed her mind again, but defendant shoved her into the car and climbed in himself. All three were in the front seat, with LaMaster driving. Mrs. Sigloch


testified that during the entire trip defendant beat her continuously with his fists, tore off part of her clothes and made threats to rape her. Finally, Claxton and LaMaster let her out on a deserted road and she walked until she found a house. On cross-examination, Mrs. Sigloch testified she was separated from her husband and that the man who had left her at the Plainview Inn was someone she had met earlier in the evening and whose name she did not remember.
The defendant's version was that after an evening of heavy drinking at various night spots, he and LaMaster went to the Plainview Inn at about midnight; that Mrs. Sigloch, who was also quite drunk, freely accepted their offer of a ride; that he tried to kissthe moment of her release; that after her release, she walked an unknown distance barefoot on a gravel road, until she found a house. Mr. and Mrs. Brauch, whose house it was, both testified she arrived at 1:15 a. m. The Brauch home is in Jefferson County, and there is testimony in the record, from Mr. Brauch and others, as to the distance from the Brauch home to the Jefferson County line. The defendant offered no evidence at all concerning venue, nor has he contended *410 that he was prejudiced by the fact that the trial was held in Jefferson County. Since there was evidence from which the jury could properly infer that the crimes charged were committed in Jefferson County, the trial court correctly denied defendant's motion


interview the complaining witness. He now contends that the trial court's denial of his motion was an abuse of discretion and deprived him of the opportunity of adequately preparing his defense. We do not agree.

Frank Karsten, one of a number of Dutch Hall of Fame members, came along to Pro Tour Return to Ravnica with high goals, along with a highlander deck. We looked at his mono-red burn aggro deck yesterday, which he took to a 3-2 finish. With 2-1 in the first draft, and a further win in the first round of the day, Karsten is still in a spot to be able to secure an unlikely first: to be the first player ever to make the Top 8 of a Pro Tour playing a deck where every card apart from basic lands is unique. Strictly speaking, his Limited deck is breaking a bit of a trend. Apparently, drafting highlander is just too difficult. Frank doesn't seem


to mind.

Karsten's opponent Jun'ya Iyanaga of Japan, has had something of a roller coaster ride of Magic in the last year or so. He won the World Championships in San Francisco in 2011, and was in Seattle recently at the Magic Players Championship to defend his title.

Hall of Fame member Frank Karsten clashes with 2011 World Champion Jun'ya Iyanaga.

Game 1

Both Iyanaga and Karsten appeared to be on Golgari decks, and while Karsten fired off Daggerdrone Imp as his first play, Iyanaga, on the play, had a Grisly Salvage into Trestle Troll, a nice answer to the 1/1 flyer. A Mountain from Iyanaga signalled a more complicated guild affiliation than simple membership of the Golgari Swarm, though there was not an immediate surge of Rakdos cards forthcoming from theJapanese player.

Dead Reveler and Sluiceway Scorpion came from Frank, and the latter at least was mirrored by Iyanaga. It was Karsten who was first to get into the red zone though, with each of these new threats. Karsten had a second scorpion to follow up with, in what was a board clogged with scavenge monsters. While that Daggerdrone Imp looked unimpressive initially, it had the potential to get quite out of hand. Rites of Reaping pumped the Daggerdrone Imp first, while killing Iyanaga's scorpion. Now Iyanaga had some choices as Frank rushed in with his team. 11 damage was coming his way, and with only Trestle Troll to block with, he chose to block the flyer, and used Giant Growth to keep his wall around.

That Trestle Troll on


the Japanese side of the board grew to 3/6 thanks to Scavenge on Sluiceway Scorpion. With regenerate thrown into the bargain, it was more or less the perfect blocker. Karsten was unafraid. He rumbled into the red zone with seven power of creatures, intent on getting in damage where he could. A block from Iyanaga meant he dropped to 6.

When Iyanaga played a Plains, it met a small laugh from Karsten, who noted his opponent's deck was now four colours. The Centaur's Accord that followed was a little more sobering though, giving Iyanaga a team of blockers for the Dutch assault, which was proving relentless. Scorpions traded off with Centaurs, and one of them was fed to Dead Reveler after combat. Karsten also had a Perilous Shadow withteams including Age Halkidas (Greece), Unia Tarnow (Poland), and Budivelnik Kyiv (Ukraine).

Outside Europe, Vučićević has suited up for a number of teams such as a.s Bond Shiraz (Iran) and Al Sadd (Qatar), to name a few.

In terms of inside players from Serbia, Vučićević is considered one of the biggest prospects. Aside from having great individual skills, he is often described as a player who possesses a winning mentality and good attitude. He is frequently compared to Serbian basketball legend Zoran Savić, a member of the 1990 FIBA World Championship Yugoslavian team that won the gold medal.

Interesting facts
Vučićević is the first European to play for the national basketball team of the Philippines, replacing former National Basketball Association players Jamal Sampson and C. J. Giles.

A 19-year-old Colerain Township woman who was missing for nearly two weeks was found safe Thursday.

Colerain Township Chief Mark Denney confirmed around 1 p.m. Thursday that Kendra Wright had been found on McMicken Avenue in the West End after a tip, and that she was "safe and sound."

"She's absolutely fine and we're reuniting her with her father now," Denney said in an interview. "She was out on her own free will."

Denney said there's no evidence that Wright's disappearance had anything to do with drugs or alcohol.

"Colerain Police investigators worked around the clock following leads that led them to her location early this afternoon," Denney said in a release Thursday afternoon.flash illumination time is short, the operation of the film and video cameras must be carefully synchronized to obtain substantially identical images.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,805,037, Noble et al, describes one form of synchronization system in which the synchronization is such that when the film camera captures a photographic image of the subject, the video camera captures substantially the same view of the subject as an image frame comprised of two consecutive interlaced video fields, the flash illumination being substantially entirely and equallY distributed between the two fields of video information. The capturing of the video image is accomplished by inhibiting, during the flash illumination, any transfer of information from the image sensor in the video camera. Upon termination of the flash illumination, the next two video fields are

Call numbers have increased, too, though the number of fires in Hallowell is low. According to a Kennebec Journal review of all calls from 2014 to 2018, crews responded to 155 calls in 2018, 121 in 2017, 116 in 2016, 77 in 2015 and 94 in 2014. The bulk of the calls are about fire alarms and car accidents. City crews have responded to 10 structure fires in Hallowell during the five-year period, while providing mutual aid 26 times and station coverage for other departments 23 times in that span. Owens said the average response time in Hallowell is five to eight minutes, which he said was good for a volunteer department, whilepotatoes on top.

LONDON — Twelve-year-old Amy Winehouse sits on a faded blue sofa in her grandmother’s house, dressed in the uniform of her youth group, the Jewish Lads’ and Girls’ Brigade. With long white socks pulled halfway up her legs (a red graze visible below one knee), a white button-down shirt and a blue cap perched neatly on her tied-back hair, she should look like the schoolgirl she is. But Winehouse has one leg flung over the other suggestively and stares at the camera with a pronounced pout. This is a girl with attitude.

The photo, taken in 1995, is one of dozens of private pictures, clothes and personal effects belonging to the late singer, on display for the first time at London’s Jewish Museum. Co-curated by her older brother Alex,Amy Winehouse: A Family Portrait offers an intimate look at the person behind the headlines, showing how deeply she was shaped by her relatives and her Jewish background.

“This is a snapshot of a girl who was, to her deepest core, simply a little Jewish kid from North London with a big talent, who, more than anything else, just wanted to be true to her heritage,” writes Alex Winehouse in a caption.

Winehouse died in July 2011, aged just 27, at her £2 million ($3 million) home, just a few blocks away from the Jewish Museum in Camden. After years of substance abuse, an inquest concluded she died of alcohol poisoning, although in


a recent interview, Alex Winehouse blamed her death on bulimia, which he said significantly weakened her body.

Perhaps the only hint in the exhibition of the tragic ending is a battered black suitcase full of family photographs, which Winehouse had summoned her father Mitch to sift through with her just two days before her death. The photos themselves, many of which are grainy ‘80s shots, could have belonged to almost any Diaspora Jewish family. There is Amy sticking her tongue out on a river cruise; pictured standing by her brother, who is wearing a tallit, on his bar mitzvah; and her young parents — her mother looking very much like her — in evening dress, seated at another simha.

They were a close and boisterous lot. According to Amy’s hand-writtenapplication to the Sylvia Young Theatre School, “All my life I have been loud, to the point of being told to shut up. The only reason I have had to be this loud is because you have to scream to be heard in my family.”

A particular influence seems to have been her paternal grandmother Cynthia, a flamboyant character who believed she was a medium and taught Amy to read tarot cards. The siblings liked hanging out with her because she allowed them to smoke.

In the 1940s, she dated jazz legend Ronnie Scott, who proposed to her, and she seems to have bequeathed to her granddaughter a love for both jazz and the music of the mid-20th century. While still at school, Winehouse compiled a list of “songs on


Morris, but highlights include a 2012 posthumous Grammy, the tiny-waisted blue dress she wore to the Glastonbury festival in 2008, some of her silk scarves, sling-backs and outfits and numerous backstage passes. From her home, there is also a cream-colored bar –used, Alex claims, mostly as a place to rest letters and bills — straight from the 1950s, together with an old-fashioned wireless, further testament to her love of all things retro.

The same display case houses some of her personal books, including the trashy Jackie Collins novels she left lying around the house and the Dostoyevsky collection, which she actually read, and which were hidden in a cupboard — the reverse of how most people display their books, notes Morris.

The Jewish items are interspersed throughout the exhibit, reflectingto the west of Paragon's parcel in Lyon Township is an active gravel pit operation. The property to the north across Twelve Mile Road, located in the City of Wixom, is zoned for industrial use. The property to the east and south of Paragon's parcel is located in the City of Novi. The property immediately to the east of Paragon's is undeveloped, but zoned for residential use, and the property to the south is zoned and developed for mobile home use.
In May 1984, Paragon submitted a request to the Planning Board of the City of Novi to rezone the property from a single-family residential zone to a mobile home district zone. The planning board held a public hearing in August 1984 and recommended that the rezoning request be


financial speculation.[13]
Paragon claims that the Novi City Council's decision to deny Paragon's rezoning request was a final decision as contemplated by Electro-Tech because the city council is the initial decisionmaker regarding rezoning requests. For further support, Paragon attempts to distinguish the city council's "unconditional" denial of rezoning from the "conditional" approval of the site plan in Electro-Tech, which this Court held was not a final decision. However Paragon's attempt to distinguish Electro-Tech oversimplifies the legal finality issue and ignores a requisite inquiry into finality: whether the decision, conditional or unconditional, inflicted "an actual, concrete injury." Williamson, supra at 193, 105 S.Ct. at 3120.
The City of Novi's denial of Paragon's rezoning request is not a final decision because, absent a request for a variance, there is no information regardingand the Novi Zoning Ordinance from granting the relief sought. Accordingly, I dissent from the majority's conclusion that the merits of plaintiff's constitutional challenge to the Novi Zoning Ordinance are not ripe for appellate review.

The statement of facts in the majority opinion contains what I perceive as the essential fact in resolving the case before us.
In May 1984, Paragon submitted a request to the Planning Board of the City of Novi to rezone the property from a single-family residential zone to a mobile home district zone. The planning board held a public hearing in August 1984 and recommended that the rezoning request be denied. At a subsequent public hearing, Novi's City Council denied Paragon's request. [Op., p. 773.]
Plaintiff's request for rezoning is the accurate characterization of the substance


current zoning ordinance. The Court stated at 188, 105 S.Ct. at 3117:
It appears that variances could have been granted to resolve at least five of the Commission's eight objections to the plat. The Board of Zoning Appeals had the power to grant certain variances from the zoning ordinance, including the ordinance's density requirements and its restriction on placing units on land with slopes having a grade in excess of 25%. Tr. 1204-1205; see n 3, supra. The Commission had the power to grant variances from the subdivision regulations, including the cul-de-sac, road-grade, and frontage requirements. Indeed, the Temple Hills Committee had recommended that the Commission grant variances from those regulations. App 304-306. Nevertheless, respondent did not seek variances from either the Board or the Commission.

Pinewood has developed the residential area known as Pinewood Manor, situated on the northerly side of Vermont Route 117, into residential subdivision lots since the early 1960s. In addition to subdividing the land and providing the infrastructure, it normally constructs the houses on the individual lots sold.
Effective February 16, 1990, the Chittenden County Circumferential Highway District condemned land owned by Pinewood within its development. The condemnation covers 8.93 acres, including ten lots in Section F of Pinewood's overall development. At the time of the taking, Pinewood had already obtained the required subdivision permits and plotted out the lots. Though Pinewood had not yet completely finished the infrastructure, it had
