PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. -- The PGA of America is moving its Grand Slam of Golf from Donald Trump's course in Los Angeles, the first significant fallout for golf from the Republican presidential candidate's comments on Mexican immigrants.

Trump and the PGA of America met Monday. Both groups said they mutually agreed not to hold the Grand Slam of Golf at Trump National Golf Club in Los Angeles on Oct. 19-21.

Trump said because of the backlash over his comments he does not want the PGA of America to deal with any consequences.

"I have great respect for the PGA of America and everything they stand for," Trump said in a statement.

The PGA Grand Slam is a 36-hole exhibition for the four major champions of the year. Jordan Spieth already hasqualified by winning the Masters and U.S. Open. Martin Kaymer will be the alternate as the defending champion.

The PGA said it was exploring options on where to move the Grand Slam, along with its annual PGA Junior League Golf Championship that also was to be held at Trump National Los Angeles. The Grand Slam was in Bermuda from 2007 until last year.

NBC, Univision and Macy's are among several businesses that already have cut ties to Trump over his comments. The real estate mogul stood by his remarks, issuing a new statement Monday in which he said the Mexican government is "forcing their most unwanted people into the United States" and claimed that in many cases, those people are "criminals, drug dealers, rapists, etc."

On Monday, ESPN announced it was


moving its ESPY Celebrity Golf Classic from Trump's course in Los Angeles to nearby Pelican Hill.

"Diversity and inclusion are core values at ESPN and our decision also supports that commitment," ESPN said.

Trump said in a statement Tuesday afternoon the loss of ESPN's celebrity event, and NASCAR last week announcing it will not hold its season-ending awards ceremony at Trump National Doral near Miami, would be a financial benefit to him.

He said he would keep the deposit from both groups and charge for someone else to use the ballroom and to play the golf course.

"Two fees instead of one," he said.

Trump's relationship with golf goes beyond the PGA of America, which also has its PGA Championship scheduled for Trump National in New Jersey in 2022 and the Senior PGAChampionship at Trump National outside Washington in 2017. The U.S. Women's Open is to be played at his New Jersey course in 2017.

The PGA Tour stages a World Golf Championship at Trump National Doral outside Miami each year.

The PGA Tour and USGA have declined comment on the future of their tournaments going to Trump courses, except for distancing themselves from Trump's remark in a Golf Channel interview that he has received support from the golf industry because "they know I'm right."

The Ricoh Women's British Open is to be played this year at Turnberry, the links and resort on the west coast of Scotland that Trump recently purchased and now calls Trump Turnberry. LPGA Tour commissioner Mike Whan has said there are no plans to change the venue. The


Michael Sinan who recently won the Mr Gay Denmark competition sees no contradiction between being gay and Muslim.

He’s not only a 34 year-old handsome man, but boasts a master degree in Turkish studies and has mission to help gay who are Muslims be more reconciled with their faith.

Speaking with the French LGBT Magazine TÃªtu, Sinan said he his interest in Islam started already in early childhood. He became Muslim at the young age of 10.

Ever since childhood he had many Danish-Turkish Muslim friends, and when he came out to his parents at the age of 17 and they both, he reported, were very supportive of him.

He defines himself as a modern Muslim, and there are many like him, he says, gay or straight. ‘There is no need toTech giant Google is said to be considering an investment of 1 trillion won, about $877 million, in LG Display to ensure access to a supply of flexible screens for the next generation of its smartphones.

That investment is reportedly being made to ensure Google can produce a flexible screen version of its Pixel smartphone using LG Display's OLED (organic light-emitting diode) technology, according to reports from South Korea's ETNews and Yonhap News Agency. The arrangement would also provide LG Display with the upfront cash to ramp up production of such OLEDs.

LG Display said its plastic screen technology is "the world's first flexible OLED display panel for smartphones." Reportedly, other companies, including Apple and Samsung, have also been looking at flexible screen smartphones as the technology continues to improve.

'Paradigm


Shift to OLED'

Citing industry sources, ETNews yesterday reported that new Pixel phones featuring LG Display's OLED technology could be released in the second half of this year. ETNews added the two companies are also "collaborating on the development of foldable displays."

In the past 18 months, LG Display has revealed plans to spend billions of dollars building new production facilities for OLED screens. In a July 2016 statement announcing the development of a new construction line at its plant in Paju, South Korea, CEO and vice chairman Sang-Beom Han said the company's goal is to lead an industry shift to OLED screens for mobile devices.

"A paradigm shift to OLED represents both a challenge and an opportunity for the display industry," Han said in the statement. "LG Display is determinedor "I have something done".

beszéltek can also have two interpretations (only indefinite forms involved, again):
"you [pl] speak": beszél + -tek ("you [pl]")
"they spoke": beszél + -t- (past) + -ek ("they")

This latter case is not possible with back-vowel verbs, due to the difference of the linking vowel: csináltok "you [pl] do something" vs. csináltak "they did something".

TAMPA — A 36-year-old New Port Richey man died Wednesday after he popped a wheelie on his motorcycle and was then cut off by a car, resulting in a crash that threw him from his motorcycle, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

The crash took place at about 8:20 p.m. Tristan Velez was riding a 2018 Kawasaki motorcycle north on N Florida Avenue, approaching Celestial Oaks Drive when he elevated the front wheel of the bike and started riding on the back wheel, pointing the headlight skyward, troopers said.

Approaching the motorcycle from the opposite direction was a 2006 Chevy Cobalt driven by 26-year-old Jean Rony Jean Jacques. It was headed south in the inside lane on N Florida Avenue.

The Chevy changed lanes to get into the continuous left handturn lane, and then turned left — crossing into the motorcycle's path. The Chevy driver did not see Velez's motorcycle, troopers said,

The motorcycle collided with the car and Velez was thrown off the bike and into the car, the Highway Patrol said. He later died from his injuries at AdventHealth Tampa hospital. He was wearing a helmet.

The Chevy driver, who was using his seatbelt, was taken to the same hospital to be treated for minor injuries.

No charges appear to be pending in this case. Alcohol was not a factor in the crash, troopers said. In Florida it is illegal for motorcyclists to operate "with one wheel off the ground at any time," according to state law.

Exceeding the hype they earned in 2010, the highly anticipated debut album kicks down the walls of influence and channels the soul of rock and roll. From the loud/soft punk dynamics of The Pixies to the stadium shaking power of the E Street Band, The Joy Formidable unveiled an album that will sound fresh long after the Best of 2011’s lists have been forgotten. Album opener ‘The Everchanging Spectrum Of A Lie’ runs almost eight minutes with a sweeping coda of swirling guitar and thundering drums before yielding to the brief intensity of ‘The Magnifying Glass’.

Berlin police made the arrest early on Wednesday after searching the home and business premises of a 40-year-old Tunisian man in the southern Berlin district of Tempelhof.

Investigators were reportedly led to the alleged accomplice after finding his contact details in the phone belonging to the main suspect, Anis Amri.

Truck hijack

The arrest on Wednesday came nine days after the attack on a Christmas market in Berlin. Twelve people were killed and 48 wounded after a truck was purposely driven into a crowd on Breitscheidplatz. Of the 12 dead, six were German, while the Czech Republic, Italy, and Israel have also confirmed that at least one of their citizens had been killed.

The Polish truck driver of the vehicle Amri hijackedand rammed into the Breitscheidplatz Christmas market was also found deadat the scene after apparently trying to fight off the terrorist. The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack.

German authorities under pressure

Following a massive manhunt and a number of raids across Germany, 24-year-old Amri was killed last Friday in the Sesto San Giovanni suburb of Milan, Italy, after drawing a gun on police officers who asked for his identification. Since his death, more details have emerged about Amri's journey from Germany to Italy. Last Wednesday night, Amri allegedly took a long-distance bus from the Dutch city of Nijmegen to Lyon, France, where he was later caught on surveillance camera.

According to research by German broadcaster WDR, Amri was much better connected to the western German Ruhr region than previously thought. Since the end of 2015, he regularly commuted between


Berlin and the Ruhr region where he is believed to have visited a dozen mosques. The 24-year-old Tunisian is also thought to have had particularly good contacts in Dortmund and to have possessed a key to a mosque where he stayed overnight.

Selfie ahead of attack

A report by German public broadcasters on Wednesday also said that Amri requested prayers from a fellow regligous believer and took a selfie before steering the hijacked truck into a Christmas market.

"My brother, everything is all right, God willing, I am in the vehicle now, pray for me my brother, pray for me," Amri wrote.

He then sent a selfie from the cab of the truck, which public broadcasters NDR and WDR said was fitted with a special breaking device that automatically stopped the lorryThe founding class at Everest Collegiate High School had one place in mind when planning their senior trip – Jerusalem, where their faith was founded.

The Gunner and His Crew in Aubrey’s Royal Navy

If there’s one thing Jack loves (aside from his dear Surprise), it’s gunnery! But alas, as Captain, Jack’s duties rarely allow him to take direction of the guns themselves during battle. The honor falls instead to the gunner and his crew…

The Gunner was the senior of any rated ship’s three “standing” warrant officers – along with the Boatswain and the Carpenter, that is to say one of the officers who theoretically remained with a ship throughout its life. In fact this was rarely so. In very small ships he often acted as an officer of the watch.

Socially he was usually of plebeian origins. Some gunners did use this post as a route to higher things, however. Like the Boatswain andthe Carpenter he belonged to neither the Wardroom (or Gunroom on a smaller ship) or the lower cockpit, but made his own messing arrangements and had his own cabin. If married, he often took his wife to sea at this period. Here she would assume responsibility for the welfare of the Ship’s boys who lived in the gunroom on the larger ships.

As a Gunner, his responsibilities were considerable – the maintenance of all of the ship’s great guns and small arms, the powder magazines (for which the Captain kept the keys – the gunner having to ask for them), and shot. Strict arrangements were laid down for the movement of powder, and all stores and supplies had to be minutely accounted for to the Board of Ordnance as


opposed to the Navy Board (or Admiralty). In Battle, his station was in the magazine, supervising the filling and issuing of cartridges to the guns. He would often be called upon for special jobs, laying guns personally for the captain, for example.

To assist him there were:

1. The Gunner’s Mate(s) – senior petty officers who assisted with the great guns. the Mate’s station in battle was on his gun deck with a bag of gun spares, ready to help any gun with problems. They in turn were assisted by junior petty officers, the Quarter gunners (responsible for four guns each).

The ordinary Gun Captains held no rank, and were not considered to be part of the gunner’s crew, but many of them were promoted up to the above ranks indue course.

In action, the actual command of divisions of guns fell to Midshipmen and Lieutenants, under the Captain’s direction.

2. The Armourer, a junior “inferior” warrant officer, was responsible for the ship’s small arms (muskets, pistols, cutlass, pikes and axes). He would have a mate to assist him, including a gunsmith(s) in larger vessels – a First-Rater would carry c.400 muskets and pistols all told. The mates were petty officers, while the gunsmith was a species of very junior warrant officer. The Armourer had a forge and a set of special tools issued to him by the the Ordnance Board. His responsibility was for maintenance, not for training, which was carried out by the Master-at-Arms and his assistants, the ship’s corporals, who were not part of the Gunner’s Crew.

3.


In the larger ships, the Yeoman of the Powder Room, a petty officer paid at warrant officer rates because of his duties, assisted with the magazine(s).

Some interesting contemporary light has recently been thrown on the character of the gunner. He is:

“commonly a spawn of the captain’s own projection and has little Occasion to exercise his Art, as he desires, and I dare say, he desires never to have any; not that Gun-Powder stinks so very abominably in his nostrils, rather he loves dearly to hear his Guns speak, provided it not be against an Enemy.

He loves the King’s Birthday most loyally and wisheth he had Twenty every year, for those are the lucky times when he cheats his Majesty most zealously.

He commemorates Gun-Powder Traeson with a Treason uponGun-Powder; for he defaults his guns so exhorbitantly, that a Tar, after a Hearty meal of Pease, shall make his Bum rattle a Thanksgiving Peal much louder than his Cannons. But whats wanting in his Guns is made up in his Cups which are sure to have full measure…”

As a general rule the French felt that the best way to disable an enemy ship was to destroy his means of manoeuvering. They therefore concentrated their fire on the masts and rigging, launching their […]

The master was the senior warrant officer and was responsible for the navigation of the ship and the ship’s sailing qualities. He was responsible for setting courses, finding the ships position, supervising the midshipmen and […]

Owens decided to have knee surgery Monday, ending his revival season in Cincinnati. The 37-year-old receiver tore cartilage in his left knee two weeks ago, but kept playing. He aggravated the injury while making a cut on the opening series of the 19-17 win Sunday against Cleveland, forcing him to hobble off the field.

Owens signed a one-year deal with a $2 million base salary at the start of training camp, when the Bengals were one of the few teams interested. He proved he could still play, leading the team with 72 catches for 983 yards and nine touchdowns.

He ranked among the NFL's top six receivers in yards and catches before the game against Cleveland. He has said that he hopes to play for two or


three more years.

Owens flew to Birmingham, Ala., on Monday and was examined by Dr. James Andrews. He tweeted a photo of himself in a hospital gown getting ready for the operation late Monday afternoon.

Osama denies involvement

Saudi dissident Osama bin Laden has denied involvement in the United States terror attacks, but justified the killing of thousands in Washington and New York as "oppressors' reaction against suppresser".

A statement carried by the Pakistani Urdu newspaper Ausaf quoted bin Laden, who lives in Afghanistan, as saying, "I don't have any link to the US attacks, but I second it as it is the oppressors' reaction against suppresser."

The story by Ausaf editor Hamid Mir said bin Laden's statement was read out to him by a Laden special envoy who translated it from Arabic to Urdu.

Laden, the daily said, appreciated those who committed Tuesday's horrendous terrorist attacks in the U.S. He added, however, that the majority of those dead were innocent people.

"But those being killed


in Palestine are also innocent. Who cares about those innocent people? The terrorist US is fully behind those killings."

Bin Laden, accused by Washington of carrying out deadly bombings of US embassies in Africa in 1998, also warned the United States against attacking him in Afghanistan.

"The US will be in more danger if they tried to kill me. If they will kill one Osama, hundreds of Osamas will stand against them."

He said he was on a "holy mission" and would soon complete it. He said his mission was to liberate Palestine from Jews. "I promise to fulfil my mission with the help of my followers."

Bin Laden also claimed that thousands of Muslim youths were committed to stand by him. "They are even ready for suicidal missions.

Rajabbi Khurshed, 18, killed herself by drinking a lethal dose of vinegar 40 days after her wedding to 24-year-old Zafar Pirov, who she had never met before the arranged marriage.

Despite her passing a government-required prenuptial exam - including a virginity test - Pirov admits he took his bride for a further two tests, both of which she passed and both of which he did not believe, before casting her out.

Speaking to Radio Free Europe, Khurshed's family - who arranged the coupling - said their daughter told them on her deathbed that she had felt under massive


pressure to accept Pirov's demands for a second wife and 'couldn't take it any longer'.

Kurshed's mother Fazila Mirzoeva said her daughter, pictured, from the village of Chorbogh, had never had a boyfriend and had never had sex with anyone

But in his defence, Pirov said: 'My wife gave me a written statement that she allows me to get a second wife because she wasn't a virgin when we got married.'

Kurshed's mother Fazila Mirzoeva is so upset abouther daughter's death - who she said is a victim of 'slander and violence' - that she has pleaded to the country's president, Emomali Rahmon, for help.

She said Kurshed, from the village of Chorbogh, had never had a boyfriend and had never had sex with anyone before the marriage.

The teen had dropped out of school to help care for her two disabled brothers, her mother added.

Pirov could be facing eight years in jail if found guilty of driving Kurshed to suicide.

Virginity tests for women before marriages are common in Tajikistan, where casual sex is deemed socially unacceptable.

As of 2015, it is compulsory for both men and women to


undergo medical check-ups before a wedding, but for women this often includes a test of 'purity'.

Despite Kurshed passing this test and obtaining a doctor's certificate of her virginity - as well as passing the two other tests - Pirov continued to press his bride and demanded she reveal the 'truth'.

It was just weeks later that he made clear his desire to bring a second wife into the home.

Can she admit to the deep and shameful desires her new journey is arousing in her? When Lord Hollister enrolls her as a pupil, is she ready to be the newest student at Miss Summers' school?

that a cane was in the room and pretty positive a paddle must be as well, she forced herself to answer. Stammering a bit, she told them about the second spanking.

Eleanor waited until Alexandria lifted her eyes to hers. "And, little one, is there anything else you feel you need to confess?"

Miss Eleanor Summers runs an exclusive finishing school, made special not only by the caliber of her clients, who include such notable members of Victorian society as Lord Edward Wintercrest, Lord Lucas Huntington and Headmaster Charles Lloyds, but also by the types of lessons she provides to her pupils.

Her clients come from all stations in life, but they all have one thing in common: a deep passion for what she can teach her students. For every girlwho sits in a classroom, bends over a chair to have her bottom reddened, or stands with her nose to the wall to contemplate her behavior, is special. These women need more than a husband to fulfill all their needs - they need a firm and loving Papa, as well.

After searching for over a year, Lord Maximilian Hollister believes he has not only found the girl he's been seeking, he's certain he's found the very woman he's been looking for his entire life. The question is, will Alexandria Bannister agree with him?

Can she find it in her heart to trust the words she's memorized from her only legacy from her father - letters now singed and faded? Can she admit to the deep and shameful desires her new


journey is arousing in her? When Lord Hollister enrolls her as a pupil, is she ready to be the newest student at Miss Summers' school? And will her classmates be able to help her understand that the lessons she learns there will serve her well?

The school does not merely provide an education - it also provides a choice; and a chance to discover how passion and the need to serve can lead to the kind of fulfillment Alexandria would never have dreamed of before she entered this unique establishment.

Everleigh has waited for weeks for her fiancé's return. Rob had been overseas for six weeks and his absence was almost more than Ever could take. Even knowing that he was going to take her over his knee for ignoring his instructions didn't dampen her desire to have him home.

After a few weeks of constant togetherness, Rob sees a change in the woman he loves. As their wedding draws closer, his sweet Ever was threatening to turn into one of those horrid Bridezillas. He decides she needs a different project, one that captured her artistic spirit.

Frenzy of French favourites, food and fatigue…

It may not be warm in this European summer, but the days are still very long, a blessing and a trap for the newly arrived antipodean traveller.

Our plan was a four day road trip straight from Charles de Gaulle airport through Normandy, the Loire Valley, Chartres and back to Paris.

Planned from a million miles away, it has been successful with a degree of stress mainly around driving a back to front manual on the right hand side of the road (mostly…) as well as possibly a slightly ambitious schedule.

Our first night was at Bennecourt near Giverny in a beautiful bed and breakfast in a stone cottage built in 1789 with views of the Senne. It’s seen in a


arrangements to the hotels and parking in the area. We only found the hotel we had booked the next morning but had found a room in another nearby which had 24 hour reception, someone who spoke English and a code for the boom gate.

We put this behind us (no charges from our missing hotel helped) and walked to and explored Mont Saint Michel, an amazing few hours – again beating the worst of the crowds.

We packed up the car and drove to Tours – learning our lesson and resisting the temptation of sights along the way, finding our hotel first go and arriving at about 6pm. We did encounter tolls for the first time, the worst being 18.80 euro…

A walk around the old city of Tours and itswill be glad to take Houston on with the 33rd pick.

Washington: The US discussions with Pakistan continue to focus on the US demand that the Government of Pakistan should take concerted action against safe havens and terrorist groups that threaten other countries in the region.

While acknowledging that there has been attempt to address the issue of safe havens and terrorist groups, the US has stated that it wants more action taken, and this continues to be a topic of conversation with Pakistan.

Blue Jays eat fruit, nuts, berries, seeds, and suet. At the feeder their first choice would be peanuts in the shell. In the wild, blue jays eat lots of different foods. Though they are primarily vegetarian they also will eat caterpillars, beetles and other small bugs. Rarely do they eat eggs and nestlings.

To prepare for harsh winter weather they will collect acorns and other tree nuts and cache or hide them up to 2.5 miles from their original source and retrieve them when needed.This behavior of burying seeds has greatly helped with the range expansion of many oak species. The rapid northward dispersal of oaks after the ice age may have resulted from the northern transport of acorns by Jays.

This condor nest, known as the Pole Canyon nest, is located in a remote canyon near the Hopper Mountain National Wildlife Refuge. The parents of the chick in the Pole Canyon nest are mom #563 and dad #262. Dad #262 was laid in 2001 and was the first viable egg laid in the wild since the reintroduction program began. He was actually one of two eggs laid to a trio (male #100 and females #111 and #108) but was brought into captivity to ensure proper incubation. He hatched at the Los Angeles Zoo and was released back to the wild a year later in 2002. Mom #563 hatched at the Oregon Zoo in 2010. This is their first nesting attempt together but both have nested previously


with mates who are now deceased. A single egg was laid in this nest cavity, and the chick hatched on April 10, 2019. Full Species Account

About the Condor Recovery Project

California Condors are critically endangered; they are on the 2014 State of the Birds Watch List, which lists species most in danger of extinction without significant conservation action. They are also listed as Endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and as Critically Endangered by the IUCN. All of the more than 400 condors now alive are descended from 27 birds that were brought into captivity in the early 1980s, in a controversial but successful captive breeding program.

As of 2014, there were more than 230 individuals in the wild in California, Arizona, and Baja California. The number hasbeen rising steadily each year, as captive-bred birds are released and wild pairs fledge young from their own nests. More than 160 additional condors live in captivity at breeding programs or on exhibit at the Los Angeles Zoo, Oregon Zoo, World Center for Birds of Prey, Phoenix Zoo, Chapultepec Zoo, San Diego Zoo Safari Park, and San Diego Zoo. Condors have benefited greatly from the Endangered Species Act and from aggressive efforts to breed them in captivity and re-release them into the wild, but the survival of the species is still dependent on human intervention.

The California Condor Recovery Program (Recovery Program) is a multi-entity effort, led by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, to recover the endangered California Condor. Partners in condor recovery include the U.S. Forest Service,


National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, Arizona Game and Fish Department, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Utah Department of Fish and Wildlife, the federal government of Mexico, Los Angeles Zoo, Oregon Zoo, Santa Barbara Zoo, Chapultepec Zoo, San Diego Zoo, Oakland Zoo, The Peregrine Fund, Ventana Wildlife Society, Western Foundation of Vertebrate Zoology, Yurok Tribe, and a host of other governmental and nongovernmental organizations.

The Recovery Program is now in the final phase of recovery, focusing on the creation of self-sustaining populations. The Program is placing increased emphasis on the captive-breeding and reintroduction of California Condors to the wild and the management of that wild population. These efforts combine trying to reduce the threat of lead with actively managing nesting in the wild to increase the numberand premeditated schemes

A mother’s photo and thank you note to a State Trooper who helped out her son after he got a flat tire is spreading like wildfire online.

Joseph Owusu, 20, was driving home from Virginia Tech, where he is a student, last week when one of his back tires blew out. Virginia state trooper Matt Okes helped the stranded student, making sure other drivers saw his vehicle on the dark and highly trafficked road, and waiting with the student until his parents showed up and AAA fixed his car.

STORY: After Daughters Act Up, Mom Turns to Facebook to MakeSALT LAKE CITY — President Russell M. Nelson of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced Thursday that church leaders have launched a major effort to use the full name of the church instead of nicknames or abbreviations.

"The Lord has impressed upon my mind the importance of the name He has revealed for His Church, even The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints," President Nelson said in a statement. "We have work before us to bring ourselves in harmony with His will. In recent weeks, various Church leaders and departments have initiated the necessary steps to do so."

A style guide released by the church alongside the statement said, "Please avoid using the abbreviation 'LDS' or the nickname 'Mormon' as substitutes for the name of the


Church, as in 'Mormon Church,' 'LDS Church,' or 'Church of the Latter-day Saints.'"

The announcement and style guide raised questions about the future of the names of famous church institutions like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, LDS Business College and the Mormon Channel. It also appeared to represent a seismic cultural and linguistic shift with more heft than previous efforts to encourage members to avoid "Mormon," a complicated term in church history.

Ironically, the announcement came via one of the church's official websites, mormonnewsroom.org. That site and others, including possibly the church's main website, lds.org, could receive updated names and shows the enormity of the challenge ahead for the church.

'Monumental lift'

The news elicited immediate questions on Twitter and elsewhere: What will happen to the names of mormon.org, LDS Charities, Mormon Messages,the "Meet the Mormons" movies or LDS Philanthropies?

The church declined to comment on specifics, pointing to its statement, which added, "In the coming months, Church websites and materials will be updated to reflect this direction from President Nelson."

For the past decade and more, the church has used the nickname "Mormon" in the official names of websites, media channels and international branding campaigns like "I'm a Mormon," in which church members were encouraged to share in videos and written statements who they are in their regular lives and finish by stating their name and saying, "... and I'm a Mormon."

Additionally, the terms are ingrained in daily life within the church.

"It's going to be a huge lift internally," said Patrick Mason, the Howard W. Hunter Chair of Mormon Studies at


more fraught term internationally than domestically. Maybe this is yet another part of President Nelson’s administration keeping an eye on the global church even if it causes a little discomfort or anxiety within the U.S. church.”

Changing the name of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir would grab attention. The new style guide hinted the choir's name might be among extensive changes that would separate the effort announced Thursday from attempts by past church leaders to create distance from the nickname.

The church's old style guide for its name, published on what was then Mormon Newsroom, said that "Mormon" was an appropriate adjective for phrases like Mormon trail, Mormon pioneers and Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

On Thursday, the new style guide on Newsroom no longer included the pioneers or the choir as examples ofappropriate uses.

The history

The church has had a complicated relationship with the term Mormon since its restoration in 1830. Church leaders long chafed at antagonists calling them Mormons and, early on, Mormonites, but in recent decades they have been more accepting of the nickname.

Joseph Smith received the full name of the church by revelation in 1838. Before that, it had gone by the Church of Jesus Christ and, from 1834-38, the Church of the Latter-day Saints.

At various times, leaders have encouraged the use of the full, official name of the church. Late President Marion G. Romney of the First Presidency said in a 1979 general conference that church members do not resent being called Mormons but said the term Mormon church is inaccurate.

In 1990, then-Elder Russell M. Nelson of


the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles gave a conference talk titled "Thus Shall My Church Be Called."

"By divine directive, the title of the church bears the sacred name of Jesus Christ, whose church this is," he said then. "He so decreed more than once. Nearly two thousand years ago, the Lord said, 'Ye shall call the church in my name; … And how be it my church save it be called in my name?'"

In the next conference, President Gordon B. Hinckley of the First Presidency endorsed Elder Nelson's talk but noted the stickiness of the nickname. "I suppose that regardless of our efforts, we may never convert the world to general use of the full and correct name of the Church. Because of the shortness of the wordJesus Christ.

"We discourage referring to the Church as 'The Mormon Church,' 'The Latter-day Saints Church or 'The LDS Church,'" the letter said. It added that the nickname Mormon was acceptable to describe church members.

In 2008, Elder Lance B. Wickman, the church's general counsel, asserted the church's intellectual property rights to the term Mormon with journalists, a clear effort to create distance between the church and polygamist groups.

In 2011, the late Elder Boyd K. Packer said, "It is one thing for others to refer to the Church as the Mormon Church or to us as Mormons; it is quite another for us to do so."

Six months later, then-Elder M. Russell Ballard, today the acting president of the Quorum of the Twelve, said the nickname Mormon was acceptable but encouraged


use of the full, official name of the church and discouraged the term "Mormon church."

"(The full name of the church) is the name by which the Lord will call us at the last day," he said. "It is the name by which His Church will be distinguished from all others."

He returned to the subject in 2014, when he additionally discouraged the use of "LDS Church."

Now, with President Nelson and President Oaks in the First Presidency, and President Ballard at the head of the Twelve, the issue has returned, with President Nelson indicating that the full force and weight of church headquarters and departments will be behind the emphasis this time.

Sheri Dew, executive vice president and chief content officer of Deseret Management Corporation, heard President Nelson refer briefly tothe church to be called. We are followers of Jesus Christ, and we need to be willing to declare it."

She also noted President Nelson's language.

"This is pretty clear language from the president of the church," she said. "It seems that he is saying he feels compelled to address this. And that is a signal to all of us as members to listen up."

The statement, along with the style guide, were posted on the church's Newsroom website.

Updated style guide

The updated style guide states, in part:

· In the first reference, the full name of the Church is preferred: "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."

· When a shortened reference is needed, the terms "the Church" or the "Church of Jesus Christ" are encouraged. The "restored Church of Jesus Christ"


is also accurate and encouraged.

· While the term "Mormon Church" has long been publicly applied to the Church as a nickname, it is not an authorized title, and the Church discourages its use. Thus, please avoid using the abbreviation "LDS" or the nickname "Mormon" as substitutes for the name of the Church, as in "Mormon Church," "LDS Church," or "Church of the Latter-day Saints."

· When referring to Church members, the terms "members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" or "Latter-day Saints" are preferred. We ask that the term "Mormons" not be used.

· "Mormon" is correctly used in proper names such as the Book of Mormon or when used as an adjective in such historical expressions as "Mormon Trail."

· The term "Mormonism" is inaccurate and should1995 was another monumental year for Hip Hop, and a pivotal one as well. Because of infamous speeches by Deathrow representatives Suge Knight and Snoop Dogg on the 1995 Source awards in New York City, animosity between East- and West Coast Hip Hop reached a boiling point – more specifically between Deathrow Records and Bad Boy Records – which would have tragic consequences in the years to come. It would also not be long before the big money people would really step in to create generic, mindless rap that would become a bane to the genre. But in ’95 the Golden Age still was in full swing, with a bunch of all-time classic albums being released.

Video: Assessing Wilfork's health, role

When considering the possibilities for the Patriots in the upcoming draft, the topic of Vince Wilfork's health came up with the panel at ESPNBoston.com's recent draft event.

The main question was whether or not Wilfork, who is coming off a torn Achilles, will be able to be an every-down player. Tedy Bruschi said that given the current Patriots roster, Wilfork will be needed to play every down, but that may not be a problem.

Bruschi said the offseason is hugely important for Wilfork. "He's so much of an athlete that he can come back in the best shape of his life and almost resurrect his career so he has another mini-career with the Patriots."

Thereafter, the wells were washed with PBS by cautious pipetting and the recovered buffer was combined with the GM previously recovered from the wells. To count the extracellular bacteria in these samples, plating was carried out as in the killing assay.

As a reference for both assays, staphylococci were incubated simultaneously in plates without J774 cells, and the wells in these plates were treated as in the phagocytosis assay. The numbers of killed staphylococci were calculated by subtracting the counts of surviving staphylococci from the counts of staphylococci in reference samples. The numbers of phagocytosed staphylococci were calculated by subtracting the counts of extracellular staphylococci from the counts of staphylococci in reference samples. The quantities

Former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio was infamous for his harsh anti-immigrant policies, accusations of racial profiling and misuse of funds. His so-called Tent City was the perfect symbol of everything that was wrong with his approach to law enforcement. There is no excusing his inhumane treatment nor this subversion of the rule of law.

NCOSE put United Airlines on their “Dirty Dozen” list, naming 12 mainstream contributors to sexual exploitation in America.

United Airlines was the only airline on the list, and was joined by companies like Amazon, Google, Massage Envy (ouch), Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and Twitter.

Why was United Airlines on this list in 2019, over other airlines? According to NCOSE, United Airlines crews had received ineffective training due to consistent failures in addressing sexually harassing actions, speech, and pornography use. As they explained at the time:

United Airlines appears to be chronically ill-prepared to address the growing problem of pornography on airplanes and the ensuing culture of sexual harassment that this fosters. While most airlines have a policy on paper against in-flight pornography use, they are not adequately training their in-flight crewsThe Aims of Nuclear Weapons in Britain & Other States Osmi Anannya

The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons or the Non-Proliferation Treaty as it is more commonly known, is an international treaty to halt more nations possessing nuclear weapons and weapons technology and use existing nuclear energy sources in a cooperative manner for peaceful purposes. The treaty also entails obtaining nuclear disarmament for other nations. Five states have been granted the status of “nuclear-weapon states”, also known as the elite “nuclear club”, under the treaty: United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France and China.

UNITED STATES

Being the first country to develop nuclear weapons during World War II, it has also amicably agreed to submit its nuclear forces to independent verification under several treaties, alongside Russia. Till date it


is the only country to have deployed the weapons in warfare in two separate bombings on two Japanese islands, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Since then, and during the Cold War especially, it has conducted many nuclear tests and built plenty of long-range weapon delivery systems.

The period of 1940-1996 saw the US spend approximately $8.52 trillion on nuclear weapons. President Franklin Roosevelt in 1939 ordered the developing of nuclear weapons during World War II, after being terrified by Nazi Germany. The Manhattan Project, as it was titled, successfully produced three usable weapons by mid-1945. President Harry S. Truman on 6th August 1945, ordered the use of a uranium-gun design bomb “Little Boy” against Hiroshima, and a plutonium-implosion design bomb “Fat Man” on 9th August, against Nagasaki. The two weapons havekilled around 120,000 – 140,000 Japanese civilians outright and since the bombings, thousands more have died from radiation sickness and cancers.

Declassified secret documents also showcased the US Air Force had plans to drop nuclear bombs on China in 1958, during a confrontation over Taiwan, but the plan wasn’t carried through later on. The plan involved dropping 10-15 kiloton bombs on airfield in Amoy (presently Xiamen) if the US faced a Chinese blockade against Taiwan’s Offshore Islands.

With Bill Clinton in power in the 1990s, the American nuclear program witnessed many cuts from halting its program of nuclear testing and production of new nuclear weapons to halving the existing stockpile by the mid-1990s. This Democratic Party legacy continued with Barack Obama in power. In a 2009 speech, President Obama declared


successful espionage efforts by the Soviet military intelligence, GRU, Joseph Stalin started the state’s nuclear program in the midst of World War II.

Owing to the intensified war with Germany, large scale efforts could not be established at the time, but after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Stalin accelerated research and development into the Soviet Union’s nuclear program. The state tested its first nuclear weapon in 1949, making it the second nation to have developed and tested a nuclear weapon. Its predominant aim for nuclear armament was to accomplish a balance of power during the Cold War. The end of the Korean War saw the Soviet Union transfer nuclear technology and weapons to the People’s Republic of China, acting as an adversary of the US and NATO.

Present-dayRussia has exhibited a lessening of tensions with NATO and the possibility of a nuclear holocaust. However, Russia continues to manufacture nuclear weapons, and since 1997 it has been building the SS-27 “Sickle B”, an intercontinental ballistic missile. The country has also openly declared a desire to participate in a rather restricted-form of nuclear war, with the intention of deploying nuclear weapons to avert political pressures from Russia and her allies.

UNITED KINGDOM

The United Kingdom was the third nation to test an independently developed nuclear weapon, Hurricane, in October 1952, with the aim of maintaining its status as a great global power. Up until the 1990s, UK deployed plenty of nuclear weapons in other nations, from Singapore in the 1960s to Cyprus in the 1960s and 1970s. Since 1998,


however, the Trident programme is the only operational nuclear weapons system in British service.

Although a strategic partnership initially existed between the US and UK over nuclear weapons, this came to an end following the atomic bombing incident over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Labour Prime Minister Clement Attlee published a detailed account charted up by his Tory predecessor Winston Churchill, of the UK’s involvement in the Manhattan Project.

Attlee continued to pursue Truman in 1946 for permitting access to information the British government had rightful access to because of their involvement in the project. However, the head of the project, Leslie Groves, had excluded British scientists from participating in the manufacturing of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs, for security reasons. Truman was interested in achieving international control over atomic weaponswhich sharing of information with an ally would not have allowed. This disagreement marked UK’s efforts to independently develop nuclear weapons once more. Although by 1949 several attempts were made to renew the partnership with America once more, it proved to be unfruitful because of a strong British opposition to the pact.

There was widespread belief in the UK during the 1950s that the country needed to advocate a nuclear deterrence to protect herself from nuclear attacks. Different Prime Ministers held different point of views about what nuclear weapons could primarily be utilised to achieve. Churchill intended the deterrence to mainly act as a defence mechanism, whereas Harold Macmillan was more interested in gaining influence over American policy and strategic decisions in the Middle East and Far East. The


Suez Crisis of 1956 also pressed the need for Britain to have a nuclear deterrent, to achieve more influence in the US and the Soviet Union. Furthermore, Britain needed to persuade the Soviet Union in the late 1950s that attacking Europe would prove too be too costly, despite American participation. Debate raged on for decades over the role a nuclear deterrent would play, from specifically targeting aggressive Soviet cities to reducing involvement with the American nuclear programme.

The British government has rolled out plans for a successor to the UK Trident programme of submarine-launched nuclear missiles, to take place between 2007-2024. The newly designed class is to continue the country’s nuclear deterrent programme after the the current boats reach the end of their service lives. Prime Minister Tony Blairoutlined plans to spend £20bn on the successor nuclear weapons, with the Coalition government reaffirming its support for the presence of nuclear weapons in the UK, highlighting the need to provide value for money.

FRANCE

France’s first nuclear weapon, Gerboise Bleue, was tested in 1960, with the aim of becoming a great power alongside the United Kingdom. It was the fourth country to test an independently developed nuclear weapon, and it did so with Charles de Gaulle in power. In 1956 after the creation of the European Atomic Energy Community (EAEC), plans were in motion, aided by the West German Chancellor, Konrad Adenauer, for Germany and Italy, to begin developing their own nuclear weapons, but the plan fell through after de Gaulle got re-elected in 1958. Nuclear weapons act as


a means to protect France from any country carrying out terrorist attacks on national grounds.

CHINA

China tested its first nuclear weapon, 596, in 1964, which intended to act as a deterrent against the United States and the Soviet Union. China has always employed a nuclear policy of a “no-first-use” pledge, which means that the country is not going to use nuclear weapons as a part of warfare, except for when attacked by an adversary using nuclear weapons. Since October 2008, North Korea also publicly declared their commitment to a “no-first-use” pledge.

Mao Zedong started the Chinese nuclear weapons program during the First Taiwan Strait Crisis (1944-1955), with help from the Soviet Union. Support from the Soviet Union however, fell through after political and idealogical relations deteriorated during the Sino-Soviet SplitQ:

Why is it forbidden to marry a person with the same Gotra?

In Hinduism, why is it forbidden to marry a person with the same Gotra? Is it mentioned in the scriptures somewhere? Does it make sense to overlook the restrictions in today's world?

A:

Yes, Sagotra (same-gotra) marriages are prohibited by Hindu scripture. Here's what this chapter of the Manu Smriti says:

A damsel who is neither a Sapinda on the mother's side, nor belongs to the same family on the father's side, is recommended to twice-born men for wedlock and conjugal union.

And here is what this chapter of the Vasishtha Dharma Sutras says:

(A student who desires to become) a house-holder shall bathe, free from anger and elation, with the permission of his teacher, and take for a wife a young

One year ago on Thursday, a man carrying a semi-automatic weapon walked into Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and murdered 17 individuals. The victims included students Alyssa Alhadeff, who was known for her soccer and debate skills, Luke Hoyer, remembered by his friends for his dry sense of humor, and Joaquin Oliver, who came to school that day carrying flowers and looking forward to a Valentine’s Day date with his girlfriend. Since February 14, 2018, there have been 27 school shootings in America.

thatgamecompany (TGC) is a game studio headed by Kellee Santiago and Jenova Chen, a name tied closely to two of the most memorable indie games in recent times - Cloud and flOw.

As pointed out on their games page, a new PS3 downloadable game is currently under development. It was revealed in a forum thread that limited info about the untitled project will be announced at the Montreal International Game Summit this coming November 2007.

Kellee had also stated that their next release is not a sequel to Cloud but an entirely different creation.or political speech, though the United States Navy was forced to issue a public apology in 2017 after one of their pilots drew a giant penis in the sky over Washington state during a training exercise.

Not only ignoring John McCain’s support for human rights–abusing countries—including the US—but spinning him as a “human rights champion.”

Hiatt writes:

Year after year, to no particular political advantage, McCain has traveled to distant, lightly touristed corners of the world, dragging along whatever senators or members of Congress he could, no matter their party or ideological persuasion. Meanwhile, the McCain Institute for International Leadership gives temporary shelter in Washington and Arizona to democratic activists from those same distant corners. But McCain has never wavered in his support for democracy and human rights, and in his conviction that the United States needs to provide moral support to those who fight for freedom around the world.

No bigger myth permeates corporate media’s love affair with McCain than the image of him as aChauvinist Pigs in a Blanket

There's some recipes that are short and approachable sounding (like Male Chauvinist Pigs in a Blanket, and 3 Egg Omelette) and some that are more fancy and complicated sounding, so it covers a great range of cooking abilities. Each recipe is by a different author: sometimes the recipe is referenced in their books, sometimes they eat it while they are writing, sometimes it's just their favorite recipe! Each recipe has a little story about it (sometimes even a book excerpt) and a short biography of the author. I feel like a lot of them were Edgar winners! There's even some very famous writers like Harlan Cohen, James Patterson and Gillian Flynn. And blog favorite, Ben Winters.

Death in Baghdad

From my room on the ninth floor of the Hotel Rashid in the center of Baghdad I had a view of half the city. Colleagues across the corridor had a view of the other half. On Friday night, March 21, Baghdad came under an intense, spectacular bombardment. Buildings seemed to erupt in smoke and dust and sometimes they caught fire. The night sky was lit up by pink tracer and antiaircraft fire and sometimes the hotel shook when the missiles struck close by. About 350 yards away an antiaircraft unit was firing from the top of a building.

We opened the windows to minimize the risk of glass shattering during the blasts. As I looked out at the crowns of light thrown up when missiles or bombsthe building next door appeared to remain intact, apart from a large hole in the side. After the bombardment subsided my colleagues called down for room service, which soon arrived.

What has quickly become apparent in Baghdad is that “shock and awe” does not shock and awe Iraqis. Practically everybody I talk to points out that during the 1980s the Iraqis fought a war with Iran in which as many as one million people died. In 1990 Iraq invaded Kuwait and then in 1991 it fought the Gulf War with the US and its allies, losing many thousands of young soldiers, and Baghdad was bombed. It was bombed again in 1998. Ever since the invasion of Kuwait the country has also lived under punishing international sanctions. When missiles blow


hauling their stocks out of their shops, loading them into cars and trucks, and taking them elsewhere for safekeeping. They pulled down their iron shutters. Some, thinking that this was not enough, brought in men with blowtorches to seal their shops shut. Others had their windows bricked up. As the hours ticked away, the city took on an eerie sense of excitement, fear, and expectation. Small groups gathered at street corners to discuss the latest news, and friends and families gathered behind closed doors.

Cars sped through the city’s streets as everyone rushed to finish whatever it was they had to do. By midday on March 19, almost all the shops had shut and armed men, both in uniform and in civilian clothes, were out on the streets. Insent their families away. Some have gone to stay with relations in the provinces. The Jordanian border has been closed to all but a lucky few, and in the days before the bombing started the Syrians also turned back Iraqis but have left the frontier open for foreign Arabs and Muslims coming to fight for Iraq. The roads to Amman and Damascus are also dangerous now. Several civilians are reported to have been killed by air strikes.

Waiting for a war to begin, you still have to do something. On the Friday before the bombing started I went to Baghdad’s secondhand-book market. The traders complained that business had been bad for two or three months. With little money to spare, middle-class Iraqis come here to browse and sell their


books for cash. “A house without a library is like a desert,” a book merchant called out. Among the books for sale I found Arabic engineering manuals and a 1959 English-language text on laws relating to education in Yugoslavia.

At the market, Sayeef, a shoeshine boy, was looking for work. There are eight in his family and he has had to stop going to school to help support them; his father was crippled in a car accident. Sayeef looked healthy enough for a ten-year-old, but then he said he was fifteen. Malnutrition has become common in Iraq since 1991. I asked if his brothers and sisters were frightened of the war that was coming and he replied: “Yes, very scared, but I try to calm them down. I tryto convince them that nothing bad will happen.”

The next day there was a parade in support of Saddam Hussein. Tens of thousands marched through the city in a tightly organized show of support for the leader. Paunchy and middle-aged, mustachioed, armed, and sweating, Baath Party members led the crowds in chants of loyalty to Saddam. Sturdy matrons with pistols carried bazookas on their shoulders down the main boulevard. Some of the women stamped vigorously on a burning effigy of George Bush.

Thousands of schoolchildren and students marched by, all of them with their books, as though they had suddenly been told about a change in the day’s schedule. They were followed by a group led by long-haired, sword-wielding Sufi dervishes. They were said by an official to be “religious”


Abid Mohammed, told me. The prize among the exhibits is a giant electronic map of the Middle East with a digital display and tiny lights showing where Iraqi Scud missiles fell on Israel and Saudi Arabia in 1991. I asked Mrs. Mohammed if her charges were nervous about the coming war and she pointed out that she had with her only eleven children from her class. “Normally I have forty, but since last week parents have been keeping their children at home and some are traveling.” By this she meant they had been sent out of Baghdad, perhaps abroad.

In one section of the museum is a series of pictures of Saddam with world leaders, many of whom, like Nicolae Ceausåüescu, Tito, and Leonid Brezhnev, have long since passedfrom the scene, as indeed have some of their countries. Some have not though. In a picture from 1976 Saddam looks on as a youthful Jacques Chirac accepts a drink offered to him by a young girl. There was no picture or gift from either of the visits made by Donald Rumsfeld in 1983 and 1984. But a book by Ramsey Clark, the former US attorney general, called War Crimes: A Report on United States War Crimes Against Iraq, is displayed.

Ten days are a long time in a bombing campaign. Since it began, some normality has returned to the city. Especially in the morning one sees a good many cars on the streets. Most shops and stalls remain closed, but in a city of five million people, a


on the road which are far away from large concentrations of troops.” Another instruction is: “Do not wait for an order to come to you from the usual authorities. Every Iraqi is a commander in his own position and after his own manner when he is cut off from communication and infrastructure.”

When the conflict began I had the impression that Iraq’s top officials, and even Saddam himself when he appeared on television, looked distinctly nervous. A few days later they appeared calm, confident, and even smug. On March 27 General Sultan Hashem Ahmed, Iraq’s minister of defense, explained that British and American troops would face bloody street-to-street fighting if they tried to enter Baghdad, which, he said, would be “impenetrable so long as the sons of the cityangry Muslim and Arab nations, not to mention increasing anti-American feeling in the rest of the world.

On the night of Friday, March 28, I heard that there had been an explosion a few hours before in the al-Nasr market in the al-Shula quarter in the northwest of the city. By the time I got there it was already dark, and bodies were already coming back from the hospital or from the mosque. Mourners followed the coffins, chanting: “La ilaha ila Allah Muhammad Rasul Allah“—“There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is his messenger.” Men were in tears, women wailing, and a crowd was just standing by the small blast crater in shock, completely stunned.

Coffins could be seen loaded on pick-up trucks. Some of them contained bodies already


washed and prepared, and tightly bound in their shrouds. One had a bag made of shroud material that was placed beside its head. It contained body parts that had been severed or spilled at the moment of death. The coffins of those just back from the hospital went to the mosque, where the bodies waited in line to be washed and prepared for burial. That night I saw five bodies while I was at the mosque. In the next room, the body of Fatima Abid, a girl of ten, was being washed. On the walls of the mosque, banners were hung celebrating the lives and deaths of the Shiite martyrs Ali and Hussein.

The next morning I saw the coffin of a twelve-year-old boy at the mosque, in alittle side room, on a slab, and the body of a stout man in his fifties called Karim Hussein. He had a shop in the market and was now being washed. Water was being poured over his face. Two of his relatives were weeping at his side. The night before, at the local hospital, men had come to collect the shattered remains of their relatives, which lay bloody and stiffening on the shelves of a mortuary refrigerator, with its noisy, whirring fans. By morning doctors were reporting that sixty-two people had died and forty-nine were injured in the explosion at the market.

A kilometer or so from the market, huge billowing plumes of thick black smoke filled the horizon as the Iraqis continued to burn oil in trenches in


order to disorient the British and Amer- ican guided missiles. Shamsiya Abid, who is fifty-three, had lost three of her five sons in the explosion. Two were in the little yard of their house next to the market, and one was inside. The brothers were called Ali, who was twenty-one, Hussein, who was eighteen, and Mohammed, twelve years old. The yard had been washed down, but blood remained under crates of Pepsi-Cola, which the brothers used to sell when they were not studying. In one room of the house Shamsiya Abid’s husband received male mourners. Shamsiya herself sat on the floor with the women in another room. She rocked and swayed and beat her breast and head with both fists. “I brought them up, I sent them towas to get back to normal. With the city plunged into darkness for the first time since the bombing began, and reports arriving that US forces have begun their assault on the airport, I have the feeling that the first chapter of this war has finally ended.


traffic through Adelaide Railway Station will be affected with a number of projects and developments that are currently in planning or under construction which include:

The electrification of the commuter rail network

Extension of the Noarlunga Line to Seaford

Adelaide Oval Redevelopment

New Royal Adelaide Hospital

Health and Medical Research Institute

Adelaide Convention Centre upgrade

SkyCity Casino Redevelopment

Riverbank Redevelopment

All of these projects will contribute to growing patronage through Adelaide Railway Station, and this station is effectively the gateway to the precinct. This is the biggest and busiest station in South Australia and it only has one exit with some 14 turnstiles. Even in the current situation without the above projects completed there are already queues during peak periods for those entering and exiting the platform area of the station. Furthermore, having the only exit onthe eastern end of the station means that commuters who are heading to Uni SA’s City West campus, the new RAH and the Health and Medical Research Institute – which are all west of the station – will have to continue exiting to the east and then taking a long walk back west again. A western exit is needed, a topic which has been of much discussion recently in the forums over at Sensational Adelaide.

Providing a western exit is easier said than done. There is currently space for an exit and concourse in the space between the Convention Centre and the Montefiore Road bridge which crosses the tracks west of the station. However, this space is currently planned for the extension of the Convention Centre and cannot be


constructed at this location.

If a western exit cannot be provided in the space above the tracks, where else can it go? Providing access at ground level across the tracks could done, but there are a lot of trains arriving and departing from nine tracks so this probably is not the safest approach.

I believe that the best approach in the current circumstance would be construct a tunnel to provide a north-south passage under the western end of the platforms, with escalators and elevators providing links between the tunnel and the platforms. The tunnel would be more of anunderground excavation under the platforms with a paid concourse area and a non-paid section to allow pedestrians from North Terrace to access the river precinct and vice-versa. The southern end of the tunnel would provide access to North Terrace with exits on both sides of North Terrace while the northern end would provide access to the river precinct.

A vision for a new entrance to Adelaide Railway Station and the creation of a new pedestrian link between the city and river precinct.

A more detailed concept of the tunnel and underground concourse.

This tunnel and underground concourse may also serve as a link to future underground platforms as discussed in a previous article here on Urban Rediscovery. In this case, the concourse would provide a interchange function to allow passengers to


transfer between the existing terminating platforms and new underground platforms that would take commuters closer to their destinations in the city.

Other opportunities exist by providing this western pedestrian link. The access points down into the tunnel at both the North Terrace and Riverbank ends could be sheltered by interesting architecture in spaces that are currently blank and dull while the tunnel and underground concourse itself could provide retail opportunities and spaces for advertising. The greatest potential reaching effects go beyond the station and the river precinct, encouraging increased pedestrian activity in Adelaide’s west end and providing the catalyst for reviving the area and furthering its development which has often lacked behind the more developed east end of the city.

The tunnel may end up being an expensive investment andat the Sydney Opera House. They’ll also play dates in Adelaide, Melbourne and Brisbane.

by the Rev. Paul Mixon, church employee Chad McCauley and other bystanders.

A few minutes earlier, McCauley told Mixon, the church's pastor, that the church’s black Honda sedan was being driven away by an unauthorized user.

Mixon, a CPD reserve officer and chaplain with the agency, followed the vehicle in his personal truck, blocked its exit from a nearby alley, then removed the keys from the vehicle and told Patterson to remain in the car.

According to a CPD report, Patterson told the pastor he had found the vehicle and was transporting it across the street. Mixon, however, had a different take on it, telling police Patterson got out of the vehicle and punched him in the left side of the face. The pastor said he then restrained Patterson on theground until law enforcement arrived.

Patterson was arrested and transported to North Okaloosa Medical Center after complaining of a possibly dislocated shoulder. He was transported to Okaloosa County Jail after receiving treatment, and charged with vehicle theft and battery.

Gowell suffered injury to her neck, left arm, and left shoulder during a motor vehicle accident that occurred when she was sleeping in the semi-trailer truck driven by her husband.

3
During the years following the accident, Gowell received medical care from a number of doctors, specialists, and clinics for chronic pain and swelling, numbness, and other ailments in her neck, back, arm, and shoulder. On April 4, 1996, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Claude Martimbeau, one of Gowell's treating physicians, permanently restricted Gowell from repetitive bending and from lifting more than fifteen pounds. Most of the doctors that Gowell consulted for her chronic pain condition concluded that it is a somatoform disorder.2 Her doctors have primarily ordered conservative treatment, such as physical therapy, pain management, and psychological treatment. Gowell was alsorepeatedly diagnosed with substance abuse and depression.

Gowell applied for disability benefits on October 23, 1995, alleging an onset disability date of August 31, 1991. Gowell asserts that she is unable to work because of her shoulder and neck injury and chronic pain. She also listed depression as an impairment on her requests for reconsideration. The Social Security Administration denied Gowell's application initially and again on reconsideration. Gowell then requested and received a hearing before an administrative law judge (ALJ), who evaluated Gowell's claim according to the five-step sequential analysis prescribed by the social security regulations. 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1520 (a)-(f); Bowen v. Yuckert, 482 U.S. 137, 140-42 (1987) (describing analysis). At the first three steps of the analysis, the ALJ found that Gowell had not engaged in substantial
