curved about the hips and his back is straight, so that he looks as though he was in prayer, half prostrated, coition for him is very difficult; owing to the reciprocal positions of his thighs and his stomach, he cannot possibly insert his member entirely, as it lies so far back between his thighs. The best for him to do is to stand up. The woman stoops down before him with her hands to the ground and her posterior in the air; he can thus introduce his member as a pivot for the woman to move upon, for, be it observed, he cannot well move himself. It is the manner el kouri, with the difference, that it is the woman who moves.

A man may be attacked by thethere are women of great experience who, lying with a man, elevate one of their feet vertically in the air, and upon that foot a lamp is set full of oil, and with the wick burning. While the man is ramming them, they keep the lamp steady and burning, and the oil is not spilled. Their coition is in no way impeded by this exhibition, but it must require great previous practice on the part of both.

Assuredly the Indian writers have in their works described a great many ways of making love, but the majority of them do not yield enjoyment, and give more pain than pleasure. That which is to be looked for in coition, the crowning point of it, is the enjoyment, the embrace, the kisses.


as much approved of as the dok el arz.

A story is told on this subject of a man who had a wife of incomparable beauty, graceful and accomplished. He used to explore her in the ordinary manner, never having recourse to any other. The woman experienced none of the pleasure which ought to accompany the act, and was consequently generally very moody after the coition was over.

The man complained about this to an old dame, who told him, 'Try different ways in uniting yourself to her, until you find the one which best satisfies her. Then work her in this fashion only, and her affection tor you will know no limit.'

He then tried upon his wife various manners of coition, and when he came to the one calleddok el arz he saw her overcome by violent transports of love, and at the crisis of pleasure he felt her womb grasp his verge energetically; and she said to him, biting his lips, 'This is the veritable manner of making love!'

These demonstrations proved to the lover, in fact, that his mistress felt in that position the most lively pleasure, and he always thenceforward worked with her in that way. Thus he attained his end, and caused the woman to love him to folly.

Therefore try different manners; for every woman likes one in preference to all other for her pleasure. The majority of them have, however, a predilection for the dok el arz, as, in the application of the same, belly is pressed to belly, mouth glued to


mouth, and the action of the womb is rarely absent.

I have now only to mention the various movements practised during coitus, and shall describe some of them.

FIRST MOVEMENT--Neza el dela (the bucket in the well). The man and woman join in close embrace after the introduction. Then he gives a push, and withdraws a little; the woman follows him with a push, and also retires. So they continue their alternate movement, keeping proper time. Placing foot against foot, and hand against hand, they keep up the motion of a bucket in a well.

SECOND MOVEMENT--El netahi (the mutual shock). After the introduction, they each draw back, but without dislodging the member completely. Then they both push tightly together, and thus go on keeping time.

THIRD MOVEMENT--El motadani (the approach). Theman moves as usual, and then stops. Then the woman, with the member in her receptacle, begins to move like the man, and then stops. And they continue this way until the ejaculation comes.

FOURTH MOVEMENT--Khiate el heub (love's tailor). The man, with his member being only partially inserted in the vulva, keeps up a sort of quick friction with the part that is in, and then suddenly plunges his whole member in up to its root. This is the movement of the needle in the hands of die tailor, of which the man and woman must take cognisance.

Such a movement only suits those men and women who can at will retard the crisis. With those who are otherwise constituted it would act too quickly.

FIFTH MOVEMENT--Souak el feurdj (the


toothpick in the vulva). The man introduces his member between the walls of the vulva, and then drives it up and down, and right and left. Only a man with a very vigorous member can execute this movement.

SIXTH MOVEMENT--Tâhik el heub (the boxing up of love). The man introduces his member entirely into the vagina, so closely that his hairs are completely mixed up with the woman's. In that position he must now move forcibly, without withdrawing his tool in the least.

This is the best of all the movements, and is particularly well adapted to the position dok el arz. Women prefer it to any other kind, as it procures them the extreme pleasure of seizing the member with their womb; and appeases their lust most completely.

Those womenthis about by slightly and softly nibbling his partner's tongue, when her saliva will flow sweet and exquisite, more pleasant than refined honey, and which will not mix with the saliva of her mouth. This manoeuvre will give the man a trembling sensation, which will run all through his body, and is more intoxicating than wine drink to excess.

A poet has said:

In kissing her, I have drunk from her mouth Like a camel that drinks from the redir; Her embrace and the freshness of her mouth Give me a languor that goes to my marrow.

The kiss should be sonorous; it originates with the tongue touching the palate, lubricated by saliva. It is produced by the movement of the tongue in the mouth and by the displacement of the


lighted; and just as water only can extinguish the latter, so only the emission of the sperm can calm the lust and appease the heat.

The woman is not more advantaged than the man by caresses without coition.

It is said that Dahama bent Mesedjel appeared before the Governor of the province of Yamama, with her father and her husband, El Adjadje, alleging that the latter was impotent, and did not cohabit with her nor come near her.

Her father, who assisted her in her case, was reproached for mixing himself up with her plaint by the people of Yamama, who said to him, 'Are you not ashamed to help your daughter in bringing a claim for coition?'

To which he answered, 'It is my wish that she should have children; ifher family, and, to hide his shame, repudiated her that very night.

A poet said on that occasion:

What are caresses to an ardent woman,
Or costly vestments and fine jewellery,
If the man's organs do not meet her own,
And she is yearning for the virile verge?

Know then that the majority of women do not find full satisfaction in kisses and embraces without coition. For them satisfaction resides only in the member, and they like the man who rummages them, even if he is ugly and misshapen.

A story also goes on this subject that Moussa ben Mesâb betook himself one day to a woman in the town who had a female slave, an excellent singer, whom he wanted to buy from her. This woman was resplendently beautiful, and independent of her charming


you forget my outer appearance.' He then uncovered himself, and let her see a member the size of the arm of a young girl. At that sight she felt herself burning hot with amorous desire. He saw this, and asked her to let him caress her. Then she uncovered herself and showed him her mount of Venus, vaulted like a cupola.

He then did the business for her, and recited these verses:

I have plied in her my member, big as a virgin's arm;
A member with a round head, and prompt to attack;
Measuring in length a span and a half,
And, oh! I felt as though I had put it in a brazier.

He who seeks the pleasure a woman can give must satisfy her amorous desire for hot caresses, as described.of the beam spot, the amount of reflection from the disk varies significantly as the beam falls on an edge of a pit and, as a result, the waveform of the readout signal has a large rise time at the leading edge and a large fall time at the trailing edge.

Alexander Burton is grand jété-ing into a brave new world

Often the stories of male ballet dancers go something like this: they remember being the only boy at the barre, towering over a sea of little girls in pink leotards; later, during their teen years, they were bullied or teased for their pursuit, only finding themselves when they graduated and went on to dedicated ballet institutions.

Maybe times are changing for the better, or maybe 20-year-old Alexander Burton has had as much good luck as he has talent, but his foray into the ballet world has been almost entirely pain-free.

Last year, his first at Ballet British Columbia, he was, as a 19-year-old apprentice, the youngest member of the company. That didn’t keep the lithe, sleekly cropped-haired artist from making hismark on-stage, to the point that he’s become a prominent member of the troupe, dancing in all three of the pieces on the Walking Mad and Other Works program at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre this week.

The main reason why Burton’s experience in dance was different was that in 2002—when he was 11 and his sport of choice was swimming—he took part in the first class of then–Ballet B.C. member Edmond Kilpatrick’s new course for boys at the Dance Centre. The first program of its kind in the city, it was a mix of ballet, martial arts, and movement that sought to make the art form “cool” for guys. (At the time, Kilpatrick told the Straight: “I do a lot of teaching around town, and when I go into

'(5) Spaces or ways accessible to pedestrians only . . . 15 feet.'

It is conceded that the defendant's wires at the place where the plaintiff met injury were less than fifteen feet high.  The District Court held that it was not a 'generally accessible place' within the meaning of Section 232, and further that the defendant owed the plaintiff no common law duty to maintain the wires higher than the existing level of fourteen and one-half feet.

7
The basic facts are substantially undisputed.  The defendant power company supplies electricity to the city of Corinne and other communities in a mountainous area of southern West Virginia.  The city itself is in a valley at the bottom of Corinne Mountain.  A public highway runs between the cityand the base of the mountain.  While the difference in elevation between the highway and the top of the mountain is only eight hundred feet, the distance up the mountain is seventeen hundred feet.  Before 1932, two high voltage circuit lines of 88,000 and 13,200 volts, respectively, were constructed by the defendant.  Beginning at the defendant's substantion in the valley, these lines connect with a stelle high tower (Tower 2) midway up the mountain.  From that point, the 88,000-volt line veers slightly to the left and extends 1,000 feet to Tower 3 at the top of the mountain, the line continuing at a minimum height of eighty feet above the ground.  The 13,200-volt line, however, leaves Tower 2 and, instead of continuing to


about eighteen months before the event out of which the litigation arises.

8
Because of the city's low elevation, television reception is poor.  Consequently, since 1951 many persons have constructed and maintained TV antennae systems on the mountain for residents of Corinne in the valley below.  These systems are installed by locating TV antennae on the mountain and running cables and transmission lines from the antennae down the mountain to a central point in the city, and thence into the homes.  In 1953 the plaintiff constructed his own antenna system on the mountain to service sixteen subscribers in the community.

9
Pedestrian travel on the mountain is normally limited to seasonal berry pickers, hunters and, at an increasing rate in recent years, those who maintain TV antennae and cometo inspect their equipment about once a week.  There are well-defined paths on the mountain, and one narrow road passes near the base of Tower 2.  Although most of the TV systems are located in the Tower 2 area more than five hundred feet from the scene of the accident, some antennae are in close proximity to Tower 3, and one TV operator's cable crosses the defendant's right of way between Poles No. 31 and No. 32, where the plaintiff was injured.

10
On a day in June, 1956, the plaintiff removed one of his antennae near Tower 2 in order to relocate it in a place where a clearer signal could be obtained.  After mounting the antenna on his ten-foot pole, he proceeded with it to


a point where he eventually picked up a satisfactory signal near Tower 3.  To avoid static interference from the power line, he decided to place the antenna farther across the mountain.  Accordingly, he started to traverse the defendant's right of way near Tower 3 and, because of the thick undergrowth, he elevated the pole above his head to protect the antenna.  The plaintiff insists that he was unaware that the 88,000-volt line and the 13,200-volt line separated at Tower 2, and was under the impression as he moved away from the tower that he had cleared the lines, which he was led to believe were in any event eighty feet overhead and, therefore, no source of danger.  He testified that due to the height Not only did the defendant's maintenance crews frequent the area, but it was testified that on occasion the defendant's line foreman helped the plaintiff relocate his antennae.  Moreover, there is no suggestion that the mountain, and particularly the Tower 3 area, is not accessible on foot.  Indeed, the steepest part of the mountain is below the Tower 2 area.  Upon our interpretation of Section 232, as distinguished from the stricter construction given by the District Judge, there was substantial evidence to support a finding that the plaintiff was injured in a place within the meaning of the statute.

14
There was also testimony to show that the top of the antenna brushed the wire, and that if the wire had been several inches higher, this would


that for an appreciable period before the time of the injury in June, 1956, the poles, spaced several hundred feet apart, and the wires, were not readily visible from anywhere on the mountain and especially not to a person who might enter the right of way covered by a growth ten feet high.  On this issue, the Court concluded that the defendant had not met its burden of showing that the plaintiff knew or should have appreciated when he carried the antenna aloft, that he was near a low-hanging power line.  See Restatement, Torts, Sec. 289, Comment f, at 766 (1934 Ed.).

Since a retrial is necessary on the issue of the defendant's negligence, on both theories allowed by the plaintiff, we think it fair for the[Antiretroviral drug supply in Argentina: National Program to Combat Human Retroviruses, AIDS, and STDs].

This report discusses the public health impact of Alzheimer's disease (AD), including incidence and prevalence, mortality rates, costs of care, and overall effect on caregivers and society. It also examines the impact of AD on women compared with men. An estimated 5.2 million Americans have AD. Approximately 200,000 people younger than 65 years with AD comprise the younger onset AD population; 5 million are age 65 years or older. By mid-century, fueled in large part by the baby boom generation, the number of people living with AD in the United States is projected to grow by about 9 million. Today, someone in the country develops AD every 67 seconds. By 2050, one new case of AD is expected to develop every 33 seconds,


or nearly a million new cases per year, and the total estimated prevalence is expected to be 13.8 million. In 2010, official death certificates recorded 83,494 deaths from AD, making AD the sixth leading cause of death in the United States and the fifth leading cause of death in Americans aged 65 years or older. Between 2000 and 2010, the proportion of deaths resulting from heart disease, stroke, and prostate cancer decreased 16%, 23%, and 8%, respectively, whereas the proportion resulting from AD increased 68%. The actual number of deaths to which AD contributes (or deaths with AD) is likely much larger than the number of deaths from AD recorded on death certificates. In 2014, an estimated 700,000 older Americans will die with AD, and many of themCNN breaks Ofcom rules on news sponsorship

waste and sediment in the channels were keeping water from escaping the lake, and nearby deforestation also blocked those water outlets. That spells big trouble in the summer and fall, when large tropical systems dump huge amounts of rain and there's nowhere for that water to go.

"Because of the saturation of the soil and the deforestation already affecting the area, a natural phenomenon like a stationary storm or a hurricane could produce a tragedy of greater magnitude than the one in May 2004," Adela Matos, project manager for World Vision, told the Guardian. In that month, 500 people died and 1,600 were displaced in Jimaní, Dominican Republic, by heavy rains that flooded the nearby Blanco River, which flows between the two lakes.

The lakes' rise has had severe impactson agriculture, as well as the local ecosystem. Farmland has disappeared by the thousands of acres, leaving already poor farmers with nothing, National Geographic also said.

Tourists to Egypt are no doubt familiar with the felucca, a timeless sailboat. Egyptians, however, use the word felucca for another kind of boat on the Nile - a motorboat that blares popular music. Karem Said reports for VOA from Cairo these modern feluccas are a fixture for less-privileged Egyptians who navigate the river by night.

Someone brought a boom box. The popular music sonically lights up this downtown spot along the Nile, where scores of Egyptian youth tread by night. Couples hold hands. Some sit out of sight in wooden gazebos.

A nearby staircase takes couples down to a series of open-air boats, louder than the boombox and brighter than any vessels on the Nile. Multi-colored bulbs blink along metal ribs above


the boats, creating a disco space.

Mostly young, unmarried Egyptians ride the boats, but small families come too. A visitor named Wael came with his wife and baby boy.

He says the boats themselves are nothing special. They are really primitive. They cannot make more than these short trips.

He says people come out to the Nile, especially on holidays, the whole Egyptian nation. The Egyptian people are known for this: to stay up the whole night by the Nile and sleep in the morning - the youth. He says people who work come on a Friday, they take their family for an outing.

Injured Smith to miss two BPL games

Melbourne: Former Australian captain Steve Smith will miss the next two matches of the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) due to an elbow injury.

Smith, who has played just two matches in the tournament so far, will return to Australia for further medical treatment and is likely to rejoin his squad Comilla Victorians if there isn’t any significant damage.

“He is quite positive about returning, possibly during the Sylhet phase of the competition. He will undergo an MRI in Australia, which isn’t available in Bangladesh, and will inform us about it,” ESPNcricinfo quoted Victorians media manager Sohanuzzaman Khan, as saying.

In the two games so far, Smith has scored just 16 runs, including a duck in the last match. Victorians are currently ranked number fivein the points table of the T20 tournament and are slated to take on Rajshahi Kings on January 11 in their next clash.

Smith, who is serving a 12-month suspension for his role in the massive ball-tampering scandal during a Test series against South Africa in March, is not allowed to participate in international and domestic Australian cricket. He, however, participated in the Global T20 Canada league and the Caribbean Premier League in July-August. Recently, he also led his grade side Sutherland to victory in the New South Wales Premier T20.


built in the central space and a parking lot for the users, for which the runway was mutilated at the height of one of the cantons to allow access for the vehicles. And shortly after, another velodrome space was enabled as a municipal vehicle depot. Meanwhile, the track was abandoned and in a state of progressive degradation.

Expropriation and rehabilitation

Since 1990s the municipal government planned the construction of a large green area in the torrent of sa Riera called sa Falca Verda (The Green Wedge). The design of the park contemplated the disappearance of the track, except for the Xalet of Gaspar Bennazar. In 2007 a first phase of the park was inaugurated, the so-called Parc de sa Riera (Sa Riera Park) and the expropriation procedures were continuedassociation Hispania Nostra included it in its list of assets in danger of disappearance.

Deadly accidents

During the 70 years of activity of the velodrome there were a total of five fatalities:

 Antoni Parets Coll, 21 August 1927 when, as a motor-paced rider, he drove a cyclist Gaspar Pocoví in a race.
 Josep Nicolau i Balaguer nicknamed es Canó de Llorito (the cannon of Llorito), 18 November 1934 (26 years old), when the Spanish National of Track Cycling Motor-Paced Championships was run.

David Freudenthal to fill the U.S. Senate seat vacated by the late Craig Thomas. “Affordable and available health care is a big issue in Wyoming,” he said. “It’s a rural state, and people are spread out. I want to help find ways to get health care to them.”

As a medical student at Georgetown University, Barrasso was already thinking about ways to broaden his impact on the public’s health care needs. He joined the American Medical Student Association, where he worked on issues related to preventive medicine and health care access.

He produced television and radio reports and newspaper articles on health and fitness for more than 20 years, and served as the medical director of Wyoming Health Fairs, a series of programs on preventive medicine held across the state.He presently writes a monthly series of articles on preventive health care for elders called “Caring for Wyoming’s Seniors.” He has also served as a rodeo physician for the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and as a sports team physician for Casper College. In 2002 he ran for a seat in the Wyoming State Senate. “I knew I could help patients one-on-one in the office,” he said, “but I felt I could do more to help more people working legislatively.”

Barrasso, now 54, won the seat and was re-elected in 2006. His greatest accomplishment as a state senator, he said, was co-sponsoring the Hathaway Scholarships program, which gives eligible students scholarship money to attend the University of Wyoming or any state community college. “It was sponsored by two Republicans and


skills. As a house officer, he was a great physician who had compassion, commitment and ethical moral character.”

Barrasso says he supports “lower taxes, less spending, traditional family values, local control and a strong national defense.” In the state senate he received an “A” rating from the National Rifle Association, voted for prayer in schools, voted against gay marriage and sponsored legislation to protect the sanctity of life.

“In today’s world, his views would earn him a conservative label,” Friedlaender said, “but John is not inured to the needs of people, especially in terms of health care. I would describe his politics as thoughtful.”

Lady Bears top-seeded again

1 / 32

Back to Gallery

WACO — Brittney Griner and top-ranked Baylor could have a few repeats while trying to repeat as national championship.

As the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament, the Lady Bears (32-1) will open Sunday night at home against Southwestern Athletic Conference tournament champion Prairie View (17-14).

That is the same opening matchup Baylor had two years ago, when it was a No. 1 seed for the first time and alsoare Connecticut, Notre Dame and Stanford, the only team to beat the Lady Bears this season, a week into the season before their 30-game winning streak.

The Lady Bears are on the same side of the bracket as the Spokane Regional, where Stanford is the No. 1 seed. That could mean the same NCAA Final Four matchup in the national semifinals as a year ago.

Baylor has won all 14 of its previous games against Prairie View, including 66-30 to open the NCAA tournament in 2011 — Griner's sophomore season when the top-seeded Lady Bears lost in a regional final against No. 2 seed and then-Big 12 foe Texas A&M.

The other first-round game in Waco on Sunday has No. 8 seed Florida State (22-9), an at-large team from the ACC,


New Dean Named to College of Philosophy and Letters

William Regh, S.J.

William Rehg, S.J., has been named the new dean for Saint Louis University College of Philosophy and Letters. He brings a vast and extensive amount of experience to the position.

After graduating with a bachelor of science from Wright State University, Rehg came to SLU to earn his master's and licentiate in philosophy. He then went on to earn his master's of divinity from Weston School of Theology and his doctorate in philosophy from Northwestern University.

Rehg has more than 20 years of experience teaching at SLU, as well as Rockhurst and Northwestern. He has had the privilege of serving as a visiting scholar or professor at Georgetown, Berkeley, Jesuit School of Theology, Loyola and Goethe-University in Frankfurt, Germany.

He hasdid not sincerely cooperate with workers in this year's wage negotiations but pushed for its layoff plan," said HHI union head Baek Hyung-rok.

"HHI, which is said to have the strongest finances of the three biggest shipbuilders, is pushing the toughest plan. The despair of laborers in the area is turning to rage."

Such moves by unionized workers are expected to face strong opposition not only from the business circle but also the public due to the struggling domestic and export market and the shipbuilder's embattled efforts for management normalization.

"It is regrettable that the unionized workers have decided to stage a walkout regardless of the two companies' situations," said an Ulsan citizen.

"They are two of the most highly paid worker groups in the country. Staging a massive rally when the


Turkey’s military push into Syria meets growing backlash amid battle with Kurdish-led forces for control of Ras al-Ain.

Turkey‘s military says it has taken control of a key Syrian border town as Ankara presses ahead with its offensive against Kurdish fighters despite facing mounting international criticism over the operation.

The Turkish defence ministry said its troops seized Ras al-Ain from the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF)on Saturday – a claim that was immediately rebutted by the SDF – as fighting between the two sides entered its fiercest phase since Ankara launched its offensive on Wednesday.

“As part of the successful operations being conducted in the framework of Operation Peace Spring, the town of Rasulayn, located east of the Euphrates, has been brought under control,” the ministry said in a post onand forced more than 100,000 people to flee their homes since Wednesday.

Meanwhile, markets, schools and hospitals have been closed, according to the United Nations, with aid agencies warning nearly a half-million people are deemed to be at risk.

‘Fighting on two fronts’

The Turkish ground and air assault began three days after US President Donald Trump announced that his country’s troops would be withdrawn from their border positions alongside the SDF, the main ally of Washington in the fight against ISIL and a group that expanded its control in northern and eastern Syria amid the chaos of the country’s eight-year civil war.

Trump’s decision drew swift domestic and international criticism that he was endangering regional stability, abandoning US allies and risking the revival of ISIL.

First Report of Botryosphaeria ribis as a Branch Dieback Pathogen of Olive Trees in Spain.
Botryosphaeria spp. are known to produce cankers and dieback in several woody hosts. Since 2001, a severe disease resulting in the dieback of branches was observed in olive (Olea europaea) orchards in Andalucía, southern Spain, where the only cultivar affected was Gordal de Sevilla. The affected trees showed abundant dead twigs, and wilted leaves remained attached. These symptoms were similar to those caused by Resseliella oleisuga, a bark borer insect common in the region. Closer inspection showed no evidence of insects, but revealed reddish brown bark lesions that girdled the affected branches. When the outer bark was removed, the affected tissue appeared dark brown, in contrast to the yellowish green of healthy inner bark.Story highlights Roofer Bill Keith started a solar fan business nearly a decade ago

He aimed to make the fans using all American parts and labor

His success attracted the attention of the Obama administration

Now, a new trade policy could put him out of business

With just his dream, determination and hard work, Bill Keith started a solar fan business nearly a decade ago out of his garage in northwest Indiana. The one-time roofer simply wanted to make enough money to care for his family and to create a ripple effect for other workers, particularly in this economically depressed area outside Chicago.

Keith vowed to create his solar attic fans entirely out of parts made in the United States.

Using only the sun's energy, the fan pumps hot air out of the attic


-- lowering cooling bills -- and doesn't have to be in direct sunlight to work. His first year, Keith said he barely made enough to scrape by -- about $39,000 in sales.

"It wasn't enough to cover expenses," Keith recalled.

But he stuck with it and his promise to buy American parts. Keith's company, SunRise Solar, steadily grew to the point that he couldn't keep up with the influx of orders. He looked around for companies that could help him manufacture the fans, concentrating his search in his own backyard. He eventually found a company that could help and needed the extra work about 90 miles away in Warsaw, Indiana.

He bought molded plastic in Indiana as well as fasteners, nuts, bolts and steel. Wire for the fans came from workersin New Jersey, while the motors were from Pennsylvania and Chicago. Even his cardboard boxes were manufactured in nearby South Bend.

Keith had achieved his own small part of the American dream: He became a self-made small-business owner. And in 2008, his success attracted the attention of the soon-to-be next president of the United States, Barack Obama. That year, he got an unexpected call from a representative of the new administration.

"He said he was with the Obama transition team looking for small companies," Keith recalled. He later met with the man who told Keith, "we want to interview you, vet you."

"Guy sat right there talking with me, said 'I really love your story and I'm going to push it up the rank,'" Keith said.

JUST WATCHED Romney accused of hypocrisy


ABC , CNBC and other media came calling to tell the story of the roofer who built a solar company out of his garage -- and he did so without a government handout.

"Move over Joe the Plumber," one blog headline declared after his Elkhart appearance. "There's a new poster child for hard-working Americans -- and he's green."

Keith's success story provided good publicity for the White House which called again and again, using Keith to underscore the Obama administration's goal of pushing America towards new sources of clean energy.

"'Can you come to Washington? Can you come to Philly? Biden doing this,'" Keith said of the numerous requests he received from the administration.

There's the photo of him with the president and Vice President Joe Biden in Kokomo, another Indiana cityhard hit by the recession, as well as an appearance with Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio and many others.

Keith's story resonated with groups of all political stripes. Republicans got in on the act when Indiana Sen. Richard Lugar named him "an energy patriot" and the GOP-leaning U.S. Chamber of Commerce cited his work. Environmentalists also contacted him, and featured him in one appearance after another.

Strange bedfellows, perhaps, but it was a feelgood story of what one American could do in a time when the recession was strangling so many.

"They were continually inviting me to these things called 'advocacy days' where they wanted me to meet with senators and congressmen," Keith said, noting that he attended many with his wife.

At these events, lawmakers talked about "how I created a


economic boost to an area of the country hard hit by the recession.

Today, Keith's solar star appears to be on a collision course with another Obama policy that may put him out of business. The irony is not lost on Keith: A man whose profile and company soared because of the administration's energy policy is now falling apart because of a new Obama anti-dumping policy involving China.

While 95 percent of Keith's fans are American-made, he has yet to find a U.S. company that can make the small customized solar panels that make his fans run. It's not that he hasn't tried. He initially used a company in Michigan but they stopped manufacturing the kind of panels he needed. Then Keith turned to a New York company but thequality was so bad that he was replacing the defective parts faster than he could sell the fans.

Over the years he begged environmental groups as well as the Commerce Department for help in finding an American company that could make the key solar component. Reluctantly, he agreed to purchase them from a major company in the United States, which bought their panels from another country and then had them customized in Hong Kong. Eventually that manufacturer told Keith to deal with the Hong Kong customizer directly.

Keith said the U.S. Customs Department has accused him of using Chinese-made solar panels, in violation of a tough import policy adopted in May at the behest of major U.S. solar companies. The policy is intended to thwart China from undercutting prices and


past four outings. He ended the season with at least nine Fantasy points in eight of his past 10 games -- including the playoffs -- and he is worth drafting by Round 6 in all formats.

Joe Flacco, QB, Ravens: Flacco, who is a free agent this offseason, is doing a great job to earn a big paycheck -- even though there's no way he leaves Baltimore. He had 331 passing yards and three touchdowns against the Broncos on Saturday and now has 613 passing yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions in two playoff victories. He has at least 18 Fantasy points in seven of his past 10 games. More importantly, he has nine touchdowns, one interception and at least 250 passing yards in the four full games heplayed with Jim Caldwell as the offensive coordinator. Flacco looks like a solid No. 2 Fantasy quarterback with upside next season.

Colin Kaepernick, QB, 49ers: The second-year quarterback showed how dynamic he can be with 263 passing yards, two touchdowns and one interception and 181 rushing yards and two touchdowns against the Packers. Since taking over for Alex Smith in Week 11 he now has at least 18 Fantasy points in six of eight starts. He has the chance to be a low-end No. 1 Fantasy starter in 2013, and we like him with a mid-round pick. Pairing Kaepernick and Flacco together next season might not be a bad idea if you're inclined to wait for a quarterback on Draft Day.

Jacquizz Rodgers, RB, Falcons: There's a good chance Michael


Turner will be cut during the offseason. He'll be 31 next season and is scheduled to make $5.5 million. That could give Rodgers the starting job, and he has the ability to be a solid No. 2 Fantasy running back. He played great against the Seahawks with 10 carries for 64 yards and two catches for 8 yards. And if you want a tutorial in blitz protection, watch Rodgers block for Matt Ryan. Rodgers only had two games with double digits in Fantasy points in 2012, but he had double digits in carries just three times. With more work, Rodgers could be a star.

Shane Vereen, RB, Patriots: Vereen stole the spotlight for the Patriots against the Texans with seven carries for 41 yards and a touchdown and fivecatches for 83 yards and two touchdowns. He took on the passing-down role with Danny Woodhead (thumb) hurt, and that could be foreshadowing for next season with Woodhead a free agent. A Vereen-Stevan Ridley combo would look nice in the New England backfield, with Ridley still the better Fantasy option because of his goal-line work. Still, if Woodhead is gone, Vereen would be worth drafting with a mid-round pick, with his value higher in PPR formats.

Five on the decline

Rob Gronkowski, TE, Patriots: Gronkowski broke his left forearm again Sunday against the Texans and underwent surgery Monday. He should be fine for the start of the 2013 season, but Fantasy owners will now be hesitant to draft him in Round 1 in standard leagues. Prior to breaking his arm


the first time in Week 12, Gronkowski was on pace to finish with 229 Fantasy points, which would have made him the No. 1 receiver, not just the top tight end. He's still worth drafting in Round 2, but his value is slightly lower following the season-ending injury.

Greg Jennings, WR, Packers: Jennings is a free agent this offseason, and he's not expected to return to the Packers. That's a bad thing because leaving Aaron Rodgers will likely hurt his production. He's coming off a down year due to injuries (he missed eight games) and had just two games with double digits in Fantasy points when he was healthy. A logical landing spot for him is Miami since former Green Bay offensive coordinator Joe Philbin is the head coachfor the Dolphins, and they need a No. 1 receiver. If that happens then Jennings would be a low-end No. 2 Fantasy option at best.

Knowshon Moreno, RB, Broncos: Moreno was hurt in Saturday's loss against the Ravens, leaving in the third quarter with a knee injury. The extent of the injury is unknown, but Moreno went from a Fantasy hero to close the season to a backup again in 2013. Willis McGahee is expected to return to the starting job, and Ronnie Hillman will take on a bigger role. That will leave Moreno once again in a reserve role. He had double digits in Fantasy points in five of his final six games once McGahee (knee) got hurt, but Moreno will only be worth a late-round pick next


season.

Matt Schaub, QB, Texans: Schaub played well, statistically, against the Patriots with 343 passing yards, two touchdowns and one interception, but he closed the season on a down note. He had 16 Fantasy points or less in seven of his final nine games -- including the playoffs -- and he needs more weapons. Houston has a tremendous ground game with Arian Foster, but Schaub basically has to rely on Andre Johnson and Owen Daniels as his lone playmakers in the passing game. Unless the receiving corps is upgraded this offseason, Schaub should only be drafted as a No. 2 Fantasy quarterback with a late-round pick.

Sidney Rice, WR, Seahawks: Rice had four catches for 60 yards in the playoff loss at Atlanta, and that game summed up the endof his regular season. Even with Russell Wilson playing like a star at the end of the year, Rice was quiet with just one game with double digits in Fantasy points in his final eight outings, including the playoffs. He has the chance to be a starting Fantasy receiver based on his talent level and with a developing star in Wilson, but he did not produce at a high level on a consistent basis during the year. Heading into 2013, Rice should be viewed as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver at best. He should only be drafted with a late-round pick.

Cole, who has played his entire 10-year career in the league with Philadelphia, was reportedly attempting to re-negotiate his contract to remain with the team. Cole was set

Trying to make sense of the material in "Anger Management" is almost like trying to understand Adam Sandler's entire career: the longer you attempt it, the more of a headache you wind up with. For nearly three fourths of its overlong running time, the movie holds up a bizarre and baffling pretense in which simple behavior spawns major overreactions and harsh punishments from others, sometimes seeming so severe that it's a wonder no one makes a point of challenging it beyond an amazed stare. And then the movie plays its nasty trick; no, not the kind that sheds new light on previous stuff, but the kind that makes us wonder why we even had to endure it all in the first place. The only thing


drawn and stepping over them can possibly be more damaging than beneficial.

One of "A Man Apart"s early scenes features a specifically stressed dialogue exchange in which a commanding officer instructs the men in his anti-narcotics team, one member of which is played by Vin Diesel, to drop their firearms before descending into a deadly drug bust to capture an infamous cartel leader. They follow through on the order because, well, it's the safer scenario. Then we cut to the next scene where we witness both the good guys and the bad guys engaged in major gunplay, thousands of rounds of ammunition piercing everything in sight as a result. Emphasizing this specific event wouldn't ordinarily be necessary at the start of a film review, but in this movie, itmy visits to Afghanistan from 2003 to 2010, I have witnessed with each trip improved access to regular electricity and dramatic improvements in infrastructure and technology. As a goodwill envoy for the office of United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, and in commemoration for today's World Refugee Day, it is important to note that in the past decade, nearly 6 million refugees have voluntarily returned to Afghanistan. And hundreds of families torn apart by war are being reunited in their native land with a shared hope of rebuilding their lives.

Afghanistan is largely a nation of young people — 60% of the population is under the age of 20 — who are hopeful, energetic and increasingly eager and capable to engage with the world at large.

The advances they are enjoying must not be used as bargaining chips during peace negotiations with the insurgency, especially those advances related to women's rights.

In the coming weeks, as the Taliban sits down for peace talks with the U.S. and Afghanistan officials, it is imperative that this progress be respected and preserved. The negotiations must be inclusive and reflective of the young population's will and vision for the future, which does not include a return to power of the Taliban, for whom thereis very little popular support in Afghanistan.

With the 2014 pullout looming, the international community and its Afghan partners must ensure that these painstakingly earned gains are preserved and built upon, so that Afghanistan can continue along the path that so many of us had envisioned for it back in 2001.

At the evidentiary hearing, Officers Rodney Hall and Troy Simpson, and Sergeant Jimmie Edwards, all of the Flint Police Department, testified on behalf of the Government. Defendant did not produce any witnesses. Defendant offered into evidence the transcript of the preliminary examination conducted in the State of Michigan 68th District


driver's side of the vehicle, asked the driver for his license, and, when the driver responded that he did not have a license, Officer Simpson removed him from the vehicle. (EH 10.) Officer Simpson then placed the driver under arrest for driving without an operator's license and handcuffed him. (EH 10.) While Officer Simpson was arresting the driver, Officer Hall remained near the front passenger side of the vehicle but did not question the passenger at that time. (EH 10-11.)
Officer Hall testified that, after Officer Simpson had secured the driver, "he hollered out to me that there was a gun under the passenger's front seat." (EH 11.) Officer Hall drew his weapon, ordered the passenger from the front seat, and handcuffed her. (EH 11.) After securing the passenger,Officer Hall located a .45 caliber handgun underneath the front passenger seat. (EH 11-12.) The handgun was loaded, with one round in the chamber and six or seven live rounds in the magazine. (EH 12.) At that point, the passenger was placed under arrest for carrying a concealed weapon. (EH 12.)
Officer Troy Simpson's testimony corroborated Officer Hall's version of the events leading up to the stop of the Oldsmobile on Dewey Street. (EH 23-25.) After the officers had stopped the Oldsmobile on Dewey Street, Officer Simpson approached the driver's side of the vehicle and asked the driver for his driver's license, registration, and proof of insurance. (EH 25.) When the driver indicated that he had neither a license nor identification, Officer Simpson escorted the driver out of the


passenger seat. (EH 27.) Officer Simpson noted that, because the passenger was still in the vehicle, "it was important for my partner to get this person out [of] the car to make ... [it] safe." (EH 27.) Officer Simpson then placed Defendant in the patrol car and called for backup. (EH 27.) Officer Simpson confirmed that Officer Hall removed the passenger from the vehicle and handcuffed her. (EH 28.) Simpson also confirmed that Officer Hall then searched the vehicle, locating a .45 caliber handgun under the front passenger seat. (EH 28.) Thereafter, one of the officers called a tow truck and the Oldsmobile was towed from the scene. (EH 29.)
Officer Simpson testified that it was typical of him and his partner to ask whether there was anything insideaerial photographs of the City of Flint, a representative of the Traffic and Engineering Division determined that the distance on Pasadena between M.L. King and Mason, a total of three city blocks, was 888 feet. (See id. at ¶ 3.) This distance was measured from the center of the intersection at Pasadena and M.L. King to the center of the intersection at Pasadena and Mason. (See id.) Further, the representative of the Traffic and Engineering Division determined that the distance on Church Street between Third Street and Second Street, measured in the same manner, was 397 feet. (See id. at ¶ 4.)
Based upon these measurements, it appears that Officer Simpson was not entirely correct when he estimated that the distance on Pasadena between M.L. King and Mason was


proved to be 397 feet. Without attempting detailed mathematical computations, the Court concludes that the officers' testimony regarding the acceleration of Defendant's vehicle and their own police cruiser was not "inherently incredible" in light of the fact that the distance traveled on Pasadena was some 888 feet, a distance roughly equal to three football fields.
The officers' testimony is supported further by the fact that neither vehicle began its acceleration on Pasadena from a complete stop. Officer Hall testified that, as he approached the intersection of Pasadena and M.L. King, he "cleared" the intersection and went through the red light after observing Defendant's vehicle squeal its tires around the corner. (E.H.8.) Thus, the police cruiser was already moving when it crossed the intersection at Pasadena and M.L. King andtestified at the February 26, 2003 evidentiary hearing that "I was the driver at that particular point and Officer Simpson was a passenger." (E.H.6.) In contrast, Officer Hall testified at the preliminary examination in state court that "I was a passenger in the vehicle Officer Simpson was driving." (P.E. 29.) Officer Simpson testified at the February 26, 2003 evidentiary hearing that he was not the driver of the patrol car at the time of the incident in question. (E.H.34.) However, at the preliminary examination in the state court, Officer Simpson testified that "I was the driver. Officer Hall would have been the passenger." (P.E. 6.) Officer Simpson explained his inconsistent testimony at the February 26, 2003 evidentiary hearing by stating that he "misspoke" at the preliminary examination. (E.H.35.)


cited in Hartwell, provides support for the application of the public safety exception in this case. In Williams, law enforcement officers had raided the apartment of the defendant, a suspected drug dealer. See id. at 947. Upon entering the defendant's bedroom, the officers located the defendant lying on his bed and placed him in handcuffs. Id. at 948. At trial, a deputy sheriff involved in the search testified that he entered the defendant's bedroom, placed the defendant in an upright position, informed him of the officers' purpose for entering the apartment, and then asked him, without providing Miranda warnings, "`[i]s there anything we need to be aware of?'" Id. at 948. The defendant responded to the question by stating that there was a gun in the closet. Id.
Thestill were entitled to conduct a search incident to arrest. See United States v. Hudgins, 52 F.3d 115, 119-20 (6th Cir.1995). In Hudgins, the Sixth Circuit commented:
Where the officer initiates contact with the defendant, either by actually confronting the defendant or by signaling confrontation with the defendant, while the defendant is still in the automobile, and the officer subsequently arrests the defendant (regardless of whether the defendant has been removed from or has exited the automobile), a subsequent search of the automobile's passenger compartment falls within the scope of Belton and will be upheld as reasonable. ... However, where the defendant has voluntarily exited the automobile and begun walking away from the automobile before the officer has initiated contact with him, the case does not fit within Belton's


only rarely mentioned and, never highlighted an aspect that links it to the flying machines and the Guardians' land, which is Sumer, and which is extraordinarily alive in the story. Now let's have a more detailed look at the stories of these three biblical prophets. Ezekiel Ezekiel (A name that means “El is strong”) was born around 620 BC and, though belonging to a priestly family, operated as a prophet. Exiled to Babylon in 597 BC, he settled in the village of Tel Aviv, along the river Kebàr (Kevàr). His prophetic mission was restoring hope to the exiled people: after the punishment for idolatry, Israel was to be re-established, starting from the rebirth of the holy city of Jerusalem and of the Temple. The news about his lifeare scarce and his activity was perhaps very contrasted: it is known indeed that on one side he enjoyed a great prestige because the elderly people often turned to him to handle important business (even if sometimes they did not understand the content of his preaching or deliberately decided not to give him credit). Often, in order to draw his audience's attention, Ezekiel performed strongly 130

symbolic actions: For example, he would eat bread baked with dung, he would lay on the same side of the body for long periods, he would be tied with ropes, and he would cut his hair with a sword. Five years after the deportation, he had the vision described in the first chapter of the book that is named after him. The Prophet


The wildcard in BC politics, from the mid-1950s until 1996 was the old Liberal Party of British Columbia. In the 1953 election, the Liberals were reduced from governing party to rump party, eking out a small space in nearly every BC legislature until their unexpected transformation into, to paraphrase Roy Romanow, the Social Credit witness protection program and, consequently, the new right-wing government in waiting.

The Liberals’ forty-nine years out of government, from their defeat in 1952 to their triumphant return to power in 2001 are often narrated as a time of failure and irrelevance, which is fine as far as it goes. But what such a story misses is what the Liberal Party was during those long years in the political wilderness. Why did the party keep going?ideology. It was about class, a very particular performance of class.

Liberals could be spotted on sight, festooned in their Celtic tweeds and corduroys, with their fine white features and soft hands. Electing a Liberal MLA constituted the ultimate political assertion of secure, old money, the same way a Vancouver Lawn Tennis or University Women’s Club membership might. To be a Liberal was to be above the fray, so secure in one’s privilege as to tut dispassionately at the indecorous rubes who dominated the legislature.

Of course, in dire emergencies, it was sometimes necessary to make common cause with the coarse boozers and used car salesmen who kept the province in order for the companies whose shares the Liberals owned. In one rare emergency a couple of caucus members had

WINSTON CHURCHILL LOVED his Champagne. We know from the memoirs of Alonzo Fields that it was part of his daily routine. The former White House chief butler recalled how, on the first morning of a wartime visit, he was summoned to the bedroom of the then-British prime minister, where he was firmly told: "Now, Fields, we had a lovely dinner last night but I have a few orders for you. We want to leave here as friends, right?... I must have a tumbler of sherry in my room before breakfast, a couple of glasses of scotch and soda before lunch and French Champagne and 90-year-old brandy before I go to sleep at night."

Churchill's capacity for alcohol is well-documented but when it came to Champagne his name was immortalizedby the Epernay family firm Pol Roger . In 1945, at the British ambassador's home in Paris, where 1928 Pol Roger was served in celebration of the liberation of France, he met Odette Pol-Roger and struck up a lifelong friendship.

Each year on his birthday a case of Pol Roger would arrive at Chartwell, his home in Kent. And when he died in 1965 Pol Roger placed a black border around the labels of its white-foil Champagne bound for England.

In 1984 the house launched a prestige cuvée named after the man himself. Made up primarily of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, in a style that suited Churchill's palate, the exact blend has never been revealed, on a promise to the family.

The 2002 has just been released and I was fortunate


enough to attend the first tasting at 44 Avenue de Champagne in Epernay—described by Churchill as "the most drinkable address in the world"—in the presence of Churchill's great-grandson Randolph, Pol Roger chairman Laurent d'Harcourt and the company's two senior family members, Christian Pol-Roger and Christian de Billy. The wine itself is generous, with lively aromas of citrus fruits and the house's trademark biscuit, yeasty style.Quiapo Free is a brush typeface dedicated to the Filipino Sign makers, Jeepney drivers, and the daily commuters in the streets of Metro Manila and anywhere in the Philippines.

The aerial food drop announced Sunday is the largest one yet for the wallabies, Kean said.

The state is also installing cameras to monitor food intake and the variety of animals benefiting from the operation, he added.

The brush-tailed rock-wallaby is considered an endangered species in New South Wales. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List last assessed its status in 2014, listing the wallaby as vulnerable, with an estimated 20,000 existing in the wild.

Who is Joe Stack?

ByAndrew Heining, Staff writerFebruary 18, 2010

Austin firefighters extinguished a blaze at the home of Joseph Stack Thursday afternoon. According to authorities, the software engineer crashed his plane into a building containing IRS offices shortly after setting his house on fire.

Since an airplane hit an Austin, Texas, office building Thursday morning, bits of information have begun to emerge about Joseph Andrew Stack, the man believed to have been its pilot.

What little is known of Mr. Stack, a software engineer in his 50s, comes from a note he published on his software company's website. The site has since been removed at the request of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It lays out a personal history of financial ruin and levels complaints at the US government, its taxDescription:

They quickly get to a ferocious bearded make out session, Adam grabbing onto Logan's meaty ass clearly indicating what he wants. The hat comes off and Adam goes for Logan's dick and balls. Spitting on it and sliding it deep into his throat. Logan's huge cock head disappears again and again as Adam works his tool. Logan switches the roles, getting on his knees to eat some dark, uncut meat poking out of Adam's faded jeans. Gulping it down and tonguing at Adam's foreskin, Logan gives you a foreskin play workshop until Adam wants to eat some


ass. Bending him over a padded leather fuck table; spitting, licking, fingering and finally plunging his hot uncut meat into Logan and grabbing onto Logan's belt pulling him back onto his rod until he starts pounding harder and harder. In a fitting finale, Adam puts Logan on his back spreads his legs and slams Logan's hole until he busts a thick load onto Logan's balls and leg which sends Logan over the top producing an explosive ending.saved in 1886 by zlocince John Stith Pemberton in Columbus, Georgia.

Steven McManaman (born 11 February 1972) is an English former footballer who played as a midfielder for Liverpool, Real Madrid and Manchester City. McManaman is the most decorated English footballer to have played for a club abroad, with the UEFA website stating that "of all England's footballing exports in the modern era, none was as successful as McManaman". He is currently a co-commentator on BT Sport's football coverage.
After nine years at Liverpool, during which time he won the FA Cup and League Cup, McManaman moved to Real Madrid in 1999. The transfer became one of the most controversial and high-profile Bosman rulings of all time. He became the first English player to win the UEFA Champions League with a non-English club in 2000, and two years


later became the first English player to win the Champions League twice. He also won La Liga twice before moving to Manchester City in 2003 and retiring from football in 2005. After his retirement, he worked as a football pundit for Setanta Sports, ESPN and BT Sport.

He is also known as Steven Paul "Steve" McManaman and Steven "Steve" McManaman.detergent and laundry are loaded into a drum and the drum is rotated to wash the laundry.

eye for an eye.” Although this idea sounds barbaric to modern ears, the underlying point was that only an eye, and no more than an eye, must be forfeited for an eye taken. An upper limit is set which prevents society collapsing back into a limitless cycle of vengeance and vendetta.

In the modern era, proportionality was first developed in depth by the German courts. The German principle of proportionality, Verhaeltnismaessigkeit, went on to heavily influence European law, and in particular the European Convention on Human Rights, where it is used to balance the rights of the individual with the interests of the community. More generally though, proportionality is central to any jurisdiction that seeks to bring coherence to sentencing by ensuring that the punishment fits the crime.
