The future of the Ottawa Senators looks bright. The Senators are considered to have one of the better pools of young talent in the NHL and, while some top draftees have recently cemented themselves on the Ottawa roster, most notably Erik Karlsson and Jared Cowen, there are many prospects on the verge of becoming solid NHL contributors in the near future. The club has quality and various skill-sets in all positions andseven quarterbacks have been selected with the first overall pick. These quarterbacks have had a mixed range of success, as some have led their teams to the playoffs while others have had little regular-season success.

Defensive end

Cornerback

Outside linebacker

The cornerback position can be a tough one to draft, but the New York Jets got it right when they selected Darrelle Revis in 2007. During his prime, Revis was a lockdown defender. Most quarterbacks refused to even throw the ball to his side of the field, which became known as "Revis Island."

Prior to the 2015 season, the NFL moved the extra point from the two-yard line to the 15-yard line to make the play more difficult for kickers. The decision has paid off, and many NFL teams are electing to go for the two-point conversion rather than kick the extra point.

At the park costumed dancers celebratedemperor had his scribes record all of this information in a book called the Bai Ze Tu. While no copies of this book are known to exist, some supposed fragments survive as quotations in other books.

Descriptions of the Bai Ze's appearance vary, but it is usually bovine or feline in shape, with horns. Japanese depictions frequently give it a human-like face. It sometimes has a number of extra eyes located all over its body: very often it is shown with a third eye on its forehead. Most likely taking their cue from the Yellow Emperor's encounter, some descriptions of the Bai Ze say that it will only appear to just and wise rulers.

A painting of the of Bai Ze or hakutaku by 17th century Japanese artist Gusukuma Seiho

As


the creature which graciously provided people with the knowledge necessary to combat monsters, images of the Bai Ze became popular as good luck charms during Japan's Edo period , where it was believed they had the power to ward off both monsters and disease. In Japan, the Bai Ze is known as the(白沢), and there is a related Japanese myth that ties all of this in with our friend, Absol.

In this legend, a creature very similar to the hakutaku appeared on Mount Tate in Toyama and warned the nearby villagers of a coming plague. The monster explained how they could protect themselves with magical talismans, and when the plague eventually came, they were saved. While the monster in this story is given the name kutabe (くたべ), it's generallyconsidered to be a variant of the hakutaku myth, and it's one of the reasons that the hakutaku remains a symbol of traditional medicine.

Already, we can see plenty of parallels with Absol. It's intelligent, lives in the mountains and appears to warn people of disasters. It's also close to many of the depictions of the hakutaku – albeit somewhat prettier – having a roughly feline shape, a horn and what could be considered a third eye.

There's a clear contrast as well, though: while the hakutaku and its variants are unambiguously friendly and even heroic creatures, protecting humans from monsters and disease, Absol is often said to be reviled, its predictive powers making it an outcast.

as the 3PR Act) is used to seek family court intervention for non-therapeutic sterilisations of children and adults without consent. There are concerns relating to the operation of the Act, including assessment of competency, lawyers acting on behalf of people without meeting them, and a lack of reporting on the Act’s use. The Courts are operating within the wider societal context of, and may share, a low level of understanding of the rights of disabled people under the UNCRPD.

In New Zealand there is no oversight by the courts of sterilisation without personal consent of learning/intellectually disabled people under the age of 18. The Care of the Child Act gives parents (or guardians) the right and duty to act in their children’s best interests.

Secrecy has positive features for an organisation, like affording more freedom in negotiating difficult situations in politics, or giving a competitive advantage to a corporation by ensuring first-mover advantage in a new product area (Dufresne and Offstein 2008).

mature audiences.

PRAGUE, Czech Republic — Martin Justel is 20, as old as the Czech democracy and, arguably, just as mature.

He is scrawny and too tall for his body mass. He has a baby face, short auburn hair, long eyelashes and a vacant expression. He looks hardly 18 but his eyes, blinking slowly, convey the gloom and servitude of somebody much older. In the terminology of the American gay sexual marketplace, he is a classic “twink,” a thin, young, pretty boy.

He whispers “hello” as he tiptoes into the Prague film studio of William Higgins, 67, an American producer and “dean of gay porn” who moved to Prague right after communism ended to corner the gay sex market, arriving around the same time two other bearded vanguards of capitalism —the thousands of “perfectly straight” Czech men performing in gay porn, he gets offended when asked whether he ever considered he might be gay. He is, he insists, only doing it for the money. Visibly timid, inexperienced and “hetero,” he caters perfectly to the sexual fantasies of those discerning consumers — primarily American gay men — looking to satisfy their appetites for homosexual pornography featuring straight men.

Gay men have always fetishized masculinity and seen straight guys as real guys, says Jeffrey Escoffier, the author of the book "Bigger Than Life: The History of Gay Porn Cinema from Beefcake to Hardcore" and a visiting scholar at the New York University Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality. “It’s a marketing opportunity for producers,” he says. “A large percentage

Bel Ami/BAO, Ayor, AVI Films/Staxus and William Higgins are among the most visible names on American video store shelves and among them release a new DVD almost every day. They also post hundreds of sex scenes online weekly.

In American gay sexshops, customers can find DVD titles such as “Inside Prague,” “Czech Up: Medical Fantasies,” “An American in Prague,” or, the most anticipated Bel Ami title of 2010, “Five Americans in Prague.”

Higgins releases one new DVD for retail sales and three DVDs for the online streaming companies each month. He also posts 13 main video scenes, 12 casting videos and two backstage videos every week online.AVI Films release up to three videos a month. Other producers, such as Michael Lucas, outsource their American productions here from time to time because, as he says, there is plenty of talent, both on the modeling side and on the cinematography side. Moreover, the production costs are about a third cheaper than in the United States.

In the gay community worldwide, Prague has a reputation of being an extremely liberal city, even though there are no gay neighborhoods, no blatant “out and proud” storefront signs or rainbow flags, and seeing gay men holding hands is rare outside the dark, underground gay bars, most of which cater to tourists. It is, nonetheless, a city in which, according to Higgins, “sex is not a big deal,” and where categories of

As a result, many studios prefer to use prostaglandin shots, such as Caverject, injected directly into the erectile tissues of the penis. That causes immediate effect, without having to worry about the unattractive, Viagra-flushed faces on film.

Beginners, however, are often afraid of the needle. The harsh glare and heat of the bright lights contrasts with the monasterial silence in the studio, interrupted only by the occasional instruction barked by a camera man (“Make it seem like you are enjoying it”) and the sporadic bursts of female moaning coming from the computer Justel is watching.

Even now, as he watches a female porn star on the screen, his eyes blinksay, he’ll be back.

The other “Velvet Revolution”

Twenty years ago, the Velvet Revolution, named for its nonviolent protests that helped bring down the communist government, marked the end of totalitarianism in Czechoslovakia. In 1993, the country peacefully split into Czech Republic and Slovakia in the so-called “Velvet Divorce.”

Since then, the Czech Republic has gradually become one of the epicenters of world porn production, again with serenity and without protests, this time with velvet used more often for upholstery than symbolism.

Both the Czech Republic and Hungary became major sources of world porn production. Prague became known as the capital of gay porn, while Budapest kept most of the straight porn business.

Walking around Prague's Mala Strana neighborhood with Higgins and his dogs, one gets the idea that everybody in this town has worked in gay porn, or soon will. He even recruited the presidential palace guards — uniforms and all — for one of his films in 2003.

Economic crisis and porn

Lately, Higgins has seen a surge in the number of men interested in modeling. It must be the economy, he says. More than 30 men a week knock on his door. “We have also had a lot more Ukrainians,” hesays, adding that immigrant laborers have been laid off from their construction jobs and now must look for other work.

Czech unemployment has nearly doubled from 5.3 percent in late 2008 — when manual labor shortage forced the country to lure guest workers here from poorer countries like Ukraine or Mongolia. Because the construction and automotive industries have suffered greatly in the global economic crisis, factories have cut thousands of jobs and 80,000 guest laborers lost their work permits by June 2009.

The Czech government, under increasing pressure to keep citizens employed, offered to pay the guest workers 500 euros and a free air ticket to motivate them to return home. But most workers, especially those from Ukraine, with their homeland near economic and political collapse chose to weather the

“Others hide it, but not me. I am an exhibitionist,” he says. Capier, whose real name is Marek Tomsu, says he has no secrets. His family knows about his career, and they are fine with it as long as he promises to be careful about his health. Being in the bareback business, he is careful by getting tested once a month.

Although he has never had sex with an HIV-positive man that he knows of, he has encountered models with syphilis and he sees others with chlamydia and genital herpes regularly.

Like virtually all the men in gay porn here, Capieris uncircumcised, which customers in the U.S. find exotic, and like most other Czech models, he looks younger than his age, 26. Prague, after all, has been nicknamed Twinkopolis for producing some of the best such talent in the world, popular primarily among older, Western gay men.

Capier has soft features, brown, shaggy hair with blond highlights, immaculate peach skin and smart, green eyes. He speaks rapidly, with a pleasant smile, and jumps from topic to topic with an elegant giddiness, frequently adjusting his hair and touching his nose.

models have been recognized and “outed” this way to the utter shock of their friends and families.

One such case involved a Czech Big Brother reality show finalist named Filip Trojovsky, or rather Tommy Hansen, his nom du porn.

An astute television viewer recognized him as a Bel Ami porn star. Once identified as Tommy Hansen, it took only a couple of days before a local tabloid published explicit photos from the DVD. The families of both of the models found out that day what their sons actually did in their “modeling” careers through media. Trojovsky was forced to come clean about his career in porn, but he has fervently denied any claims he might be gay.

Chip White, a California-based producer of gay porn from 18 West Studios, has committed to shoot only with condoms, and continues to hope — rather unrealistically, as he puts it — that all studios will agree to stop producing bareback films, particularly in the twink genre. People are told that bareback is risky, “that it's hot, that it's more exciting and thrilling, and so they want it,” says White.

Pauer, 24, originally from Slovakia, is built like a swimmer, all upper body. He wears glasses and a red Adidas track suit, an outfit reminiscent of the early post-communist days. With his wide, shy smile, and adolescent blond haircut with bangs, he resembles a tech geek more than a retired porn star.

His story begins much like the others. He moved to Prague when he was 19 and saw an ad for male modeling offeringnever done before — agreeing to have unprotected sex with the customer. It turned out to be the biggest mistake of his life.

“Afterward, he told me he was HIV-positive,” Pauer said. “I fell to the ground.” It’s been two years since the incident and Pauer is still HIV-negative. He believes God saved him.

He keeps showing up for work, partly because Higgins and his crew are his family now. He even lives in the studio building, rent-free. He tried to leave the business once, but felt drawn back to the studio.

Every day he sees men in a position similar to his when he first walked through the door, men with reservations about gay porn but hoping to make lots of money. They are willing to work hard, but hard


Mamma Mia! picked up their enormous totals by persuading filmgoers to return two, three, four times to see the same feature. If Star Wars: Episode VII can tap into the same "event movie" spirit that its predecessors virtually invented, it might just deliver.

The key, as Obi-Wan might have warned, is balance. Few warmed to Harrison Ford's return as Indiana Jones in the dreadful The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in 2008. It wasn't so much that Ford was too ancient for the role, more that the movie's old-fashioned adventure matinee stylings clashed awfully with the film's uber-modern, CGI-heavy look. Abrams is rumoured to be plumping for an old-school special effects framing for Episode VII, with the original stars centre stage and younger supporting characters primed to gain greaterAbrams has wisely plumped for a series of thesps who have proved themselves in arthouse or cult fare, sometimes both, as well as at least one unknown in the form of English actor Daisy Ridley. By the end of the movie, these will need to carry the same weight with filmgoers as their forebears, a tough task indeed.

Abrams faces a task just as daunting as Solo's successful piloting of the Millennium Falcon through the raging Hoth asteroid field in The Empire Strikes Back. Fingers crossed, nobody has told him the odds.

by The Playground Ensemble, the Rocky Mountain region's premiere new music ensemble. If you're in Denver, come check it out!

I am honored to have my piece "Distrocto" for violin, clarinet, and piano on the ninth annual Colorado Composers Concert at the King Center for the Performing Arts in Denver this evening. The Playground Ensemble, a professional new music ensemble from Denver and the Front Range, will perform the work.

This work was awarded the 2015 Colorado Composers Commission and I'm excited that I will have the chance to work with this group again next year on a brand new piece! As part of the process, I have given lectures and private lessons this week at the University of Denver's Lamont School of Music and Metro State University in Denver.

Thanksto Conrad Kehn for creating and sponsoring such an outstanding event!

My new chamber work "The Charm of Impossibilities" will be premiered tonight at St. John's Lutheran Church here in Fort Collins this evening at 7:30 PM. This piece was commissioned by the Front Range Chamber Players for their 30th anniversary season and is inspired by Messiaen's "Quartour pour la fin du temps" which celebrates its 75th anniversary.

On the East coast, Linda Cionitti and Maila Guiterrez-Springfield will give the regional premiere of Historias y Danzas at Georgia Southern University. Many thanks to their tremendous support of my music over the years!

Profile_Michael

I thought that I would introduce Michael who has been working 3 days a week in the World’s End shop now for 2 months. He had previously done a 2 month stint working in the Conduit St & Davies St shops but when he had to do a few days filling in, in the Worlds End, shop manager Lise saw his potential & grabbed him for us.
Originally coming from ‘a small village in the middle of nowhere’, a 40 minute drive from Belfast in Northern Ireland, Michael came to London 4 years ago to study classical music at the Guildhall School for Music & Drama in the Barbican, London, graduating a year ago. He has been playing the viola now for 14 years & wanted toperfect his art. He has also been playing live music at several small concerts around London & Ireland, one of which I personally attended at the Saint John’s Church in Notting Hill where he was playing Brahms with the Outcry ensemble. Apart from this he regularly plays with the London Arts Orchestra (check out their website if you want to hear Michael play).
Sporting bright orange hair which he says he got from his mother, Michael’s head is definitely not empty. After his music studies Michael is now studying Early Modern History which is the period from 1500 to 1800. The reason he gives for this is not that he has any specific career in mind in history; he just finds this period personally fascinating as it was during


Niš railway station

Niš railway station () is a railway station in city of Niš in Nišava District in southern part of Serbia.

Station was opened in 1884. There are several railway lines running from this station; Belgrade-Niš, Niš-Dimitrovgrad, Niš-Skopje and Niš-Prahovo. The train station is located on the western outskirts of the city, on the street Dimitrije Tucovića.

The original building of the station served until World War II. In 1943, as a strategic object, the Anglo-American air raid was directed against the Nazi occupation of Serbia. The original building was heavily damaged and had to be pulled down after the war. After World War II, a new brutalist check-in hall was built.

In regard to the Turkish air force's alleged 10 warnings for the Russian jet, the scientists point out that in five minutes a plane traveling at 980 kph would cross a distance of about 80 kilometers. From these facts, they conclude: "How could the Turkish air force predict that the Russian jets were about to enter Turkish airspace? Military jets are very agile, and in theory the Russian jets could have turned at the last moment to avoid Turkish airspace. The warnings issued to the Russian pilots were mere speculation

In connection with military weapons, the need for increasing firearm aiming accuracy has resulted in the development of laser and infra-red aiming devices. Lasers mounted on the barrel of a rifle, for example, projects a beam which forms a spot as far away as several hundred yards on a target. Assuming that the trajectory of the laser beam is calibrated to that of the bullet, the bullet should strike the target spot.
The diverse nature of combat conditions dictates the need for a laser mount which is versatile, highly accurate and allows quick mounting and dismounting of the laser in"Disposition of Deposit.

St. Lucia offers an amazingly rich destination experience for visitors, with a variety of things to do. St. Lucia is a member of the British Commonwealth; however, the island has a rooted French history that dates back to the early 17th century. The French spent 150 years on the beautiful island of St. Luce, battling the English to own her.

Over the years, St. Lucia changed hands over 15 times until it was finally won by the British in 1814. Although owned by the British, French influence is very much a part of the island today, evident in the French-infused dialect, Kwéyòl, as well as the French locales Soufriére, Anse La Raye and Gros Islet.

Twenty-four-year-old Brittany Boyd and her 26-year-old sister, Jenna Boyd, remain jailed on charges they conspired to rob an assault Mary Margaret Yourchik outside a Walmart in South Union Township on March 22.

Fayette County District Attorney Jack Heneks says more charges could be filed if the autopsy shows Yourchik's death stemmed from the attack.

Yourchik suffered a stroke in June while recovering from the broken hip and died in a nursing home on Monday afternoon.

The Boyd sisters have pleaded not guilty in the purse-snatching, which police say was fueled by their heroin habit.

Yourchik was buying birthday candles for her daughter and Easter candy for her grandchildren when she was attacked.

MINNEAPOLIS — A Minnesota newspaper has pulled a paid obituary from its website that detailed the deceased woman’s affair and accused her of abandoning her children.

The Redwood Falls Gazette took down the obituary, which made it into its Monday edition, amid an outcry from readers who felt it was in poor taste.

General manager Lisa Drafall told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that the family of the woman, who was 80 when she died, paid for the obituary, but she declined to say more.

The obituary says the woman “became pregnant by her husband’s brother” in 1962 and eventually abandoned her children. It says she “will now face judgment” and “will not be missed” by the children.

“They understand that this world is a better place without her,” the obituary concluded.

A colonel from a rebel faction confirmed to Reuters news agency that there were battles going on on the outskirts. Fighters from a Turkish-backed rebel force have joined the defence, he said.

The Syria crisis: Five questions, answered

How did the war start?

The country descended into war after President Bashar al-Assad’s government used deadly force to crackdown on pro-democracy protesters, who took to the streets in March 2011 demanding political freedom.

Who is fighting who?

That’s complicated: President Assad’s regime is fighting rebel groups ranging from pro-democracy groups to jihadist extremists, while a number of foreign powers are providing support to various sides.

How many people have died?

It is not known exactly, as death tolls vary according to the source, but it is estimated to stand at more than 500,000 dead or missing.

Howmany refugees are there?

More than 5.6 million people have fled Syria since 2011, with another 6.6 million internally displaced, according to the United Nations.

What has happened to President Assad?

His position looked tenuous at one point during the eight year conflict, but thanks to international allies like Russia and Iran, President Assad has won back control of most of Syria, and has set his sights on Idlib.


inmate more likely to be seen as fine for society. Two years ago I wrote this letter:

Dear Parole Board,

I am writing this letter as a victim impact statement to be considered at the upcoming parole hearing of Jamie Morton, Inmate number 88C0405. On August 31, 1987 Mr. Morton stole the future I was building with my fiancé, Linda Akers, when he chose to murder her in a senseless and brutal act.

Mr. Morton violently beat and stabbed Linda for no reason except to vent his anger at a world he felt was unfair. But more then stealing Linda and my future, he took a light out of the world. Linda’s work with young children, especially during her time at the Bishop Foery Foundation, was focused on reaching vulnerable andhave been preparing for what has become a crippling and deadly storm. Mayor Bill DeBlasio, in a statement to the people of New York, asked people to stay indoors during the storm. He wanted to avoid people being hurt or trapped because of the wind and snow. The storm, a blizzard, with wind gusts up to 50 mph. To put that into perspective this is a tropical storm force wind speed. Also the snow coming down at a rate of 2 inches per hour is not easy to deal with even for someone like me who lived in Northern New York for the first 20 years of my life. But the mayor's statement to protect people had to be answered by John Podhoretz, a member of the right


wing noise machine. He argues that this is another example of the nanny-state and that the mayor or elected officials have no business telling people what to do. He argues in the city so few people drive that being out wouldn't be a problem for rescue workers and first responders to get around. He actually complained that this is government overreach. He wrote:

To DeBlasio and other pols who tell people to stay indoors during a snow storm: You work for US. Therefore, shut the hell up.

Think about that for a minute. He complaining that the mayor of the biggest city in the country telling people to stay home and be safe is a problem. I could inform Mr. Podhoertz of the dangerous of being outdoors during a blizzard.the people of states they control. In some of these cases there are much bigger issues that stretch beyond their limit spheres but the is a cancer sweeping the nation and I don't know if there is party leadership to bring it back to a normalcy that is what our country stands for and always has. Many times they argue they want to take the country back, to what? Here are some interesting, scary and dangerous examples. Gov Rick Snyder of Michigan starting in 2012 began to exert executive power and take over municipalities that were suffering in the down Michigan economy. He appointed emergency managers and one city was Flint. In Flint one of the cost savings measures was to take water from the Flint river rather


as they had been from the Detroit water system that brings in water from Lake Huron. The chemical make up of river versus lake water is different and river water has to be treated in a different way to go through the old pipes that deliver water in Flint. The emergency manager, over the protests of local elected officials, changed to river water and did not pay for the new necessary treatment. Now in Flint there is a water crisis usually reserved for the developing world but what is amazing is that for a long time the people of Flint were drinking polluted water from their taps which included lead. Lead is a neurotoxin that will have a lifelong impact on child development and the local water haspoisoned these kids. A pediatrician and hydrologist both warned of this, local elected officials pleaded with the state to do something the Governor was silent. When challenged he said the water was fine, but he knew it was toxic and recent released emails prove it. It wasn't until Rachel Maddow brought the story to national attention did the Michigan government work to rectify the situation and still moving slowly. These are all facts. They still haven't called for Federal help but FEMA has sent a couple of people to monitor the situation even though until the Republican governor calls for help they can do very little. Meanwhile, children have been poisoned and there still is no water. This is the result of serious government arrogance on the part

6 minutes.They were also able to take down Coast's bot outer turret at 11 minutes and the second dragon, creating an almost 3k gold lead at 13 minutes before the first blood.That went to Team Coast thanks to a great bubble from Daydreamin, but a few minutes later a missed bubble led to a 3-0 and a third dragon for TSM.TSM expanded its gold lead even further and retained excellent objective control, picking up the baron at 25 minutes after winning a 4-0 teamfight and soon after securing the first inhibitor in midlane.TSM continued pressuring in botlane and secured its second inhibitor at 27 minutes; after that point it was just a matter of cleaning up, and soon TSM closed out the game, winning the first game ofthe LCS summer split.

After Curse started the game by stealing Xmithie's red, Vulcun answered beautifully with a smite-steal onto Saintvicious's blue buff.Sycho Sid also secured the first blood onto Voyboy, and though Curse took the first Dragon, it was answered by a turret in midlane.Vulcun continued putting fantastic pressure onto Curse, and they had secured all three inner turrets away from the blue team before losing a single one of their own inner turrets.After a failed baron attempt at 23 minutes by Vulcun, Curse started to regain some ground, and the game stagnated for a while, until Vulcun won a massive teamfight in midlane and there pushed the inhibitor turret and inhibitor


of Curse.The 34-minute Baron attempt by Vulcun was successful, and they took down the top inhibitor turret and inhibitor itself as well.A few minutes later, Vulcun traded away Xmithie's life for the final inhibitor turret and inhibitor, and the Curse nexus exploded at 36 minutes.

turret of the game there before 7 minutes.The red team picked up a few more kills, four towers and the first dragon of the game, with about a 7k gold lead at 20 minutes, and they didn't stop.A small hiccup at about 24 minutes made it look like CLG could come back, but then at 30 minutes a 3-for-1 fight in Velocity's favor gave it a baron, and brought its gold lead to 10k.Velocity continued on to push the top inhibitor at 34 minutes and then the bot inhib fell a minute and a half later.Velocity tore through CLG in its base and pushed the nexus down by 36 minutes.anatomical or biological information.

A prolific figure in the photography world, Pitts wore multiple hats to the many people he knew: photo director, photographer, painter, educator, writer and friend. His drawings and paintings have been exhibited around the world, while his writing and photography has appeared in numerous publications, including the New York Times Magazine, Vice and The Paris Review.

From 1993-2004, Pitts worked as the founding director of photography for Vibe


magazine, a platform that expanded hip-hop to the mainstream, breaking barriers and through photography, visually exposing the genre to a greater audience. “Working at Vibe changed my own life for the better, and enabled editors including myself to engage in an international discourse with a wide, disparate range of readers: the core fan base of Hip-Hop generation readers, popular music lovers, style and culture mavens, hipsters of all stripes, photography connoisseurs, serious musicologists, black culture militants, and scholars of all kinds,” Pitts told SPD in 2009

In 2004, until it folded in 2007, Pitts joined LIFE as the director of photography when the magazine was revived. During this time, he notably featured a wide range of celebrities on its cover, from Sarah Jessica Parker to Jay Z.

As an educator,Pitts was an integral part of the photo program at Parsons The New School for Design since 1998, serving as director of photographic practices and as an assistant professor during his tenure. An inspiration and mentor to countless young photographers and artists, Pitts was tirelessly hands on with the countless students he advised, including noted photographer Ryan McGinley.

Pitts’ depth, knowledge, passion and respect for art always amazed and inspired those he had conversation with. They pay tribute to him.

to us as a dispute between the Plaintiff, Kenneth E. Crane ("Plaintiff", "Crane"), formerly a detective in the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office, and the Defendant, Andrew N. Yurick, II ("Defendant", "Yurick"), the Gloucester County Prosecutor. Crane argues that he was wrongfully terminated from his position in the Prosecutor's Office on August 13, 1999. While the Complaint is not a model of clarity, Plaintiff effectively brings six claims against Defendants the first two under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and the latter four under New Jersey State Law.
On or about August 13, 1999, Plaintiff Crane was terminated from his position as a detective in the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office by Defendant Yurick. Crane had been working in the Prosecutor's Office for 11 years prior to that date. Throughout his careerwith the Prosecutor's *556 Office, Plaintiff had been an active member in the Policemen's Benevolent Association ("PBA") Local Union # 122, where he maintained a position as a union representative and was directly involved in contract negotiations.
During contract negotiations in May, 1999, Yurick obtained and read a sealed union letter that contained contract negotiations from Crane's unit. The union subsequently called a meeting to discuss the possibility of filing charges against Yurick. Though the vote to file charges failed, Crane voted for the filing of charges at the meeting and was outspoken in support of his position.
In June, 1999, Crane was transferred from his Major Crimes unit to the Grand Jury unit, a transfer that he viewed as a demotion. Crane's attempts to discuss this transfer with Yurick

Eric Eoin Marques, the man accused of being the “largest facilitator of child porn on the planet” by the FBI, is once again seeking bail in an Irish court. Freedom Hosting, the service Marques is accused of owning, hosted many of the most popular child pornography services on the Internet until it went down on Aug. 3, the day that Marques’s arrest became public knowledge.

The court previously refused bail on the grounds that Marques was a flight risk.

Earlier today, FBI special agent Brooke Donahue testified that Marques had been found to be in possession of “high quality” scans of a fake U.S. passport under the name Edward Thomas Brown, reports the Irish Independent. Marques allegedly sought information on how enter Russia, become a resident, and ultimately gain citizenship.Bird site may come to town

According to Susan Culp, a contractor for American Rivers in the Verde Valley, the Town of Camp Verde has a likely chance of earning a National Audubon Society Important Bird Area international designation.

Surveys of avian populations along the Verde River — one of the state’s last perennial and free-flowing waterways — is required as part of the IBA application process and will begin this month. Additional surveys will be conducted throughout the year, occurring seasonally to coincide with the arrival of spring migrants, summer nesting behavior and fall migrations. Full-year resident birds will also be accounted for.

American Rivers has been working with Friends of Verde River Greenway and the Town of Camp Verde since 2015 to craft the IBA application, according to

A 90-metre (295-foot) cargo ship ran aground Sunday in a pristine marine reserve in the Strait of Bonaficio off the French Mediterranean island of Corsica, but no oil appears to have been spilled, maritime police said.

The Rhodanus, transporting 2,650 tonnes of steel coils and seven crew, ran into trouble in the Mouths of Bonifacio nature reserve in the early morning hours after missing an opening in the strait, the authority said in a statement.

The captain "did not turn in time and headed straight for the coast despite repeated calls" for nearly an hour from traffic controllers in Corsica and nearby Sardinia, it said.

The ship got lodged in sand


without tilting, and does not appear to have shed any oil, according to the statement. But anti-pollution measures are being deployed as a precaution.

"The ship is stuck in the middle of the islands of the Natural Reserve of the Mouths of Bonifacio in a protected area that is environmentally very sensitive," the reserve's director Jean-Michel Culioli said at the scene.

"It (the ship) should never have been there. We remain vigilant," he added.

The reserve, stretching over 80,000 hectares, is the largest in mainland France, a scuba divers' paradise with several small islands in the strait separating French Corsica from Italian Sardinia.

Maritime police have boarded the ship, and a marine intervention team has departed from Toulon on southern France to inspect the damage.

A government railway police (GRP) constable was arrested for allegedly raping a woman belonging to minority community on board Lucknow-Chandigarh Express on Monday night.

The constable Kamal Shukla allegedly raped the ill woman, who had reportedly taken a wrong train from Lucknow to Meerut, and sat in a reserved coach.

The incident came to light when the train reached Bijnor railway station on Tuesday afternoon and the coach reserved for handicapped passengers was found locked.

Passengers claimed that Shukla was inside the coach with a woman and they forced him to open the compartment. When the passengers entered the coach, they found a woman lying on the floor unconscious. The constable tried to escape but was


It's always been difficult to get a read on what exactly FIBA is meant to be for global basketball. FIFA, the soccer version, is meant to mint money. That is obvious. I'll direct you to the popular FIFA video games, the billion-dollar rights deals and Qatar 2022. FIBA is different: the NBA is the overwhelmingly dominant brand in basketball here and everywhere, and FIBA competition has always been a bit of a sideshow. For American fans and players, it's primarily the vessel during which countries qualify for the Olympics. Consider the minimal outrage when Team USA fails to win the World Championship (now called the World Cup) vs. when it wins bronze in the Olympics. FIBA is far from dominant -- it's barely relevant.

As such, a shake-up wouldseem to be in order. FIBA decided to expand the World Cup field from 24 to 32, they moved the World Cup off of the FIFA World Cup schedule and, in an apparent bid to please the NBA, they removed all extracurricular importance from the continental championship like EuroBasket. In the past, these tournaments -- EuroBasket, FIBA Americas, etc. -- were used to qualify teams for the World Championship and the Olympics. No longer. Now the tournaments will be held once every four years, and won't be used to qualify anyone for anything.

Like FIFA, FIBA will now qualify teams for the World Cup and Olympics through a separate system. This separate system includes new qualification windows throughout the year (as in soccer). The windows: February, June, September and


November. Weird, because three of those months are during the NBA season. FIFA international qualification works because FIFA is dominant and all of the other leagues adjust to allow players to return to their national teams for qualification. FIBA isn't in that spot. The NBA is not likely to adjust its schedule to have multi-week breaks during November and February where players can go off to play a few games of international ball, and June is certainly out of the question for a) players in the NBA Finals, b) prospects preparing for the draft and c) free agents to be hesitant to risk their contracts.

Here's the thing about this new schedule: it kills Team USA, right? The entire Team USA roster is in the NBA.

The book, in which Guantanamo detainee Mohamedou Ould Slahi tells of his odyssey through overseas prisons and his torture and abuse by the US and its counterterrorism allies, is pockmarked with redactions left by military censors.

The diary was finally published last week, more than nine years after Slahi wrote it, and it jumped onto bestseller lists. But the details of how his lawyers fought for its release are still under seal – highlighting the secrecy that still surrounds everything to do with the U.S. military prison and the 122 men who remain there.

“The starting point is that everything that Mohamedou says, like anything that any Guantanamo detainee says, is considered classified and has to be cleared by the government,”


said Hina Shamsi, the director of the National Security Project at the American Civil Liberties Union, who was involved in the negotiations for the manuscript’s release.

Slahi, a 44-year-old Mauritanian educated in Germany, was rendered by the CIA to prison in Jordan in late 2001, then held by the U.S. in Afghanistan and Guantanamo. The government claimed that Slahi had been an al Qaeda recruiter. He admits that he went to Afghanistan in 1990 to fight against the communist government; his brother-in-law was an adviser to Osama Bin Laden; and he’d met one of the 9/11 plotters in Germany. But Slahi maintains that he’d had nothing to do with al Qaeda since 1992, and the U.S. has never charged him with a crime.

Slahi began to write his memoir indetective who was killed during the course of an attempted jewelry store holdup. The criminal case against plaintiff was tried in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri, before Judge George W. Cloyd and a jury. Plaintiff was found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment on December 15, 1972. On December 16, 1974, plaintiff's conviction was reversed and the cause remanded for a new trial by the Supreme Court of Missouri. The reversal was affirmed by the Supreme Court sitting en banc on July 14, 1975.
Retrial of the charges against plaintiff is presently scheduled for January 12, 1976. This Court takes judicial notice from the records of the Circuit Court of St. Louis County that plaintiff, who was incarcerated for a total of thirty-four months, has been


at liberty since July 17, 1975, following the posting of a surety bond in the amount of $25,000.
On August 11, 1975, plaintiff brought this action for injunctive and declaratory relief and for damages against Gene McNary, former Prosecuting Attorney of St. Louis County; Noel Robyn, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney for St. Louis County; Courtney Goodman, Jr., Prosecuting Attorney for St. Louis County; Thomas Dittmeier, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney for St. Louis County; James Damos, Chief of Police of University City, Missouri; Francis Reich, Captain in the University City Police Department; Joseph Dowling, Gary Kannenberg, William B.

In that case, plaintiff, a young black man, was being prosecuted for slapping a white youth on the arm in a street altercation between a group of black and white youths which took place near a recently integrated school. Plaintiff's conviction was reversed by the United States Supreme Court on the grounds that plaintiff was deprived of his constitutional right to a trial by jury. After reversal, but before retrial, the state legislature reduced the maximum sentence for simple battery from two years to six months, thus obviating

Ken Salazar said he was investigating whether the Jefferson County sheriff's office tried to cover up what it knew about the school massacre.

But he did not blame the office for missing warning signs about killers Eric Harris, 18, and Dylan Klebold, 17.

They shot dead 12 fellow students and a teacher before killing themselves.

The April 1999 attack was the deadliest school shooting in America.

Mr Salazar told a news conference in Lakewood - where some relatives of the dead students were also present - that he found no evidence of negligence by the officials.

But he stressed that the inquiry was not complete since he had been asked to

Some of the relatives of the killed students said the report did not provide them the answers they were seeking.

"This raise more questions than it answers," Dawn Anna, whose daughter Lauren Townsend was killed in the attack, was quoted by the Associated Press news agency as saying.

"I would disagree that there was no negligence," she added.

In Thailand, control of dengue outbreaks is currently attained by the use of space sprays, particularly thermal fogging using pyrethroids, with the aim of killing infected Aedes mosquito vectors in epidemic areas. However, the principal dengue vector, Aedes aegypti, is resistant to pyrethroids conferred mainly by mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channel gene, F1534C and V1016G, termed knockdown resistance (kdr). The objectives of this study were to determine the temporal frequencies of F1534C and V1016G in Ae. aegypti populations in relation to pyrethroid resistance in Chiang Mai city, and to evaluate the impact of the mutations on

Group discussion over cups of tea is not an unusual sight on the Jawaharlal Nehru University campus. On Monday, however, the university hosted an unusual gathering where top BJP leaders sipped tea with JNU students at ' Namo Tea Party', an event named after BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.

Taking a cue from Modi's admission that he has worked as a ' chai wala' ( tea seller), a group of JNU students organised a meeting with Delhi BJP leaders on the campus to discuss political issues in the run- up to the Lok Sabha elections.

According to the organisers, over 1,000 students turned up to listen to Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly Harsh Vardhan, BJP MLA from Mehrauli Parvesh Singh and BJP spokesperson Meenakshi Lekhi.

" A ' chaiwala'campaign is underway across the country. So we thought we should do something similar on our campus," said Amba Shankar Bajpai, a PhD student at JNU and chief organiser of the event.

Targeting the AAP government, Harsh Vardhan said Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is going back on his promise to take action against corrupt Congress leaders.

" AAP has not done anything after coming to power and has gone back on its promise to try Congress leaders on charges of corruption.

Today they ask me for evidence of corruption against the Congress leaders," he said.

Encouraging students to vote for Modi, Lekhi said time has come for India to have a strong nationalist government. " The Indian youth should now vote for Modi as he is the only leader who can work

Heavy rains had caused erosion of the dam and water had broken through, sweeping away several cabins where workers at the mine lived, Interfax quoted a local official as saying.

Russia's health ministry said that 14 miners were taken to hospitals and three had suffered severe injuries at the mine, where pictures aired by Russia's state Rossiya 24 channel showed damaged structures flooded with water and mud.

A Russian investigative committee said in a statement it had launched a criminal probe into violation of safety rules at the gold mine, while local authorities said the collapsed dam


How the New Deal’s Federal Arts Programs Created a New American History

Nina Silber has been a member of the faculty at Boston University since 1990, where her teaching and research have focused on issues related to the Civil War, gender, and historical memory. The recipient of numerous awards – including fellowships from the Fulbright Commission, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and Harvard University’s Warren Center – Professor Silber has also published several books including The Romance of Reunion: Northerners and the South, 1865-1900 (1993); Divided Houses: Gender and the Civil War (1992); Daughters of the Union: Northern Women Fight the Civil War (2005); and Gender and the Sectional Conflict (2008). Her most recent book, This War Ain’t Over: Fighting the Civil War in New Deal America, looksat issues raised in this essay, especially how the Civil War became a point of political contention in the years of the Great Depression and New Deal.

A Class at the Harlem Community Art Center Funded by the Federal Arts Project

Tensions have been brewing at George Washington High School in San Francisco over a series of murals that tell a less than heroic story about America’s first president. Completed in 1936 by a left-wing immigrant painter, Victor Arnautoff, the murals have prompted discomfort among students and parents. Their objections focus not on the mural’s critique of Washington but on its inclusion of a dead Native American and African American slaves. Although Arnautoff apparently intended to expose Washington’s racist practices – his ownership of slaves, his role in killing Native


“been dismantled”. While it’s true that Confederate monuments were placed in public spaces – like city parks and courthouse squares – and so might be considered a type of “public art”, the George Washington High School murals are a different order of “public art” altogether. Both were placed in public spaces but only one took shape as a result of public funding.

The San Francisco murals sprang from a broad government-funded arts initiative, part of Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal, which made possible the creation of thousands of art projects around the United States in the 1930s. Part of the Works Progress Administration, these arts initiatives included numerous dramatic performances organized by the Federal Theatre Project; countless posters and murals created by the Federal Art Project; and the mammoth AmericanGuide series as well as oral histories of black and white Americans done under the auspices of the Federal Writers Project. Significantly, these projects offered employment to artists, writers, dramatists, and musicians hit hard by the economic circumstances of the Great Depression.

In contrast, the money behind Confederate monuments and statues came almost exclusively from white private organizations, societies like the United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Sons of Confederate Veterans, who called on wealthy donors and used their political connections to get monuments placed in public settings. With Jim Crow measures effectively silencing black Americans in the political arena – and so preventing them from raising objections to the placement of these statues – tributes to the Confederacy appeared in prominent public spaces in towns and cities


across the South in the first half of the twentieth century.

The New Deal arts programs – including the program that sponsored Victor Arnautoff’s San Francisco murals – represented a singular response to the kind of “public art” initiatives that celebrated the Confederacy. Writers, actors, and artists who lacked the economic clout of the UDC received government funding and were able to keep their art in the public eye. As a result, a diverse array of artistic approaches and interpretations circulated, including work produced by left-wing muralists like Arnautoff and African American writers like Richard Wright and Sterling Brown. The WPA even supported a “Negro Theatre Project” that was established in twenty-three cities across the US. Because of the New Deal’s commitment to fund artists without extensive resources, itWar era appeared under the auspices of the Federal Theatre Project. One, Jefferson Davis, made its New York premiere in February 1936. With a UDC-approved script, this federally funded play upheld the Confederacy’s right to secede not over slavery but so the South “may decide the question for ourselves as the constitution promises we may”. The other play, Battle Hymn, opened in New York in May, and told of John Brown’s antislavery campaign in Kansas and Harper’s Ferry. Written by two left-wing dramatists, Michael Blankfort and Mike Gold, Battle Hymn sympathetically portrayed Brown as a reluctant insurrectionist, ultimately compelled to use violence because of his abhorrence of slavery. In his review, the theater critic for the New York Post explained: “I’d rather miss any show in New York
