Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon has deep ties to the embattled data firm, Cambridge Analytica, which has come under scrutiny for using the Facebook data of 50 million people without permission.

Bannon, who helped found the data company and served as its vice president, has denied knowing about the firm's purchase of the Facebook data.

But a former employee at the company contradicts Bannon's claims and recently posted a page from an alleged letter indicating that Bannon was, at least in part, aware of Cambridge Analytica's activities related to the US election.

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon distanced himself this week from the data firm Cambridge Analytica amid an outcry over its misuse of Facebook data, which compromised the personal information of roughly 50 million users.

Bannon, theof Cambridge Analytica, LLP, a foreign corporation, and of foreign nationals in connection with United States elections for federal, state and local government office."

The law firm said it would first explain the law, the regulations and other "relevant precedents" before offering guidance.

It began by saying that US law currently prohibits "contributions, donations, expenditures, independent expenditures, and disbursements by foreign nationals," and added that "of greater concern" was the "participation by foreign nationals in decisions involving election-related activities."

Wylie’s tweet included only the first page of the alleged letter. It is not publicly known what else was contained in the document with regard to specific guidance.

Although it's unclear whether Bannon knew exactly how the data was collected, it appears unlikely, given the extent of his involvement with Cambridge Analytica, that


he was completely unaware of the purchase of Facebook data.

Bannon was one of the key players involved in the formation of the firm in 2013.

During Thursday's conference in New York, he even bragged that he coined the name of the company.

"It's a stroke of genius," he said.

From June 2014 until he signed on to lead the Trump campaign in August 2016, Bannon served as Cambridge Analytica's vice president. Trump would later hire Bannon to serve as his chief strategist in the White House.

The Trump campaign hired the data analysis firm to lead its digital advertising efforts in June 2016.

Cambridge Analytica has come under fire in the last week since reports disclosed how the firm harvested the information of 50 million Facebook users without permission and used that datahis target could reach it. The bad was the interception he threw off his back foot under pressure in the red zone, which essentially sealed the victory for Memphis. Instead of heaving the ball into the first row and living to fight another day, he tried to do too much and cost his team the game.

Overall, I liked what I saw. Rosen was efficient, accurate, came up with big plays and continued to prove that he is the most NFL-ready prospect in college (though I still believe Sam Darnold has the higher ceiling and the intangibles that make him the first QB taken come April). Rosen has a big test ahead of him, as he visits the Stanford team Darnold carved up two weeks ago.

Next matchup: 9/23 @


Stanford at 10:30 p.m. (ESPN)

Result: 27-24 2OT win over Texas

Stats: 28/49, 397 yards, 3 TDs, 2 INTs

Analysis: Darnold started sluggish but put on a show in the second half and overtime, further proving that he plays his best football in the biggest moments. When Texas scored the go-ahead touchdown with 45 seconds remaining, I prematurely tweeted that they had won the game. Then I remembered who was quarterbacking the Trojans and quickly walked back my statement. It took Darnold 37 seconds to get from his own 32 to the Texas 13 to set up the game-tying field goal. The three passes he completed were perfect, including a Tebow-esque jump pass that caught the defense off guard. USC started the first overtime with the ball. All the Trojans neededparts of the wiper blade in the longitudinal direction, that is, so that the lying direction thereof is made into the same.
On the other hand, there are cases where the window surfaces are curved, wherein generally, the curvature ratio becomes larger and larger toward both right and left end parts, in comparison with the central portion. Both the end parts are curved so as to be erected further than the central portion. In the case of wiping off such a curved window surface, the pressing states of the wiper blade onto the window surface at the respective parts, such as the base part, intermediate part and tip end parts, differ from each other due to the curvature and erecting state to which the wiper blade is subjected in


structured so that it has swinging axis parts of the wiper arms supported at one side part and the central part of the curved window surface described above. A pair of wiper blades, one for the driver""s seat and the other for the passenger""s seat, are attached to the swinging axis parts. In such a wiper apparatus, the swinging axis part of the wiper blade for the driver""s seat is located at one side part of the window surface. In this case, the wiper blade of the wiper arm that is attached at the swinging axis part for the driver""s seat may be disposed approximately at the central part of the window surface, wherein there is no large difference in respective error angles since the curvature of thewindow surface is small at the lower reversing position of the wiper blade. However, as the wiper blade comes to the end part side of the window surface, approaching the upper reversing position, the error angle at both end parts in the longitudinal direction becomes smaller in comparison with that at the intermediate part. To the contrary, generally, the wiper blade of the wiper arm attached at the swinging axis part of a wiper apparatus for the passenger""s seat, which is positioned at the central part of the window surface, is disposed near the end part of the central part of the window surface. Therefore, the error angles at both of the tip end part and the base part at the upper and lower reversing positions of the


NESPELEM, Wash., Dec. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, a judge in the United States District Court in Yakima issued a ruling that Canadian mining and smelting giant Teck Metals, Ltd. is liable under United States environmental law for contaminating the Columbia River with millions of tons of smelting waste.

In finding Teck liable under the Comprehensive, Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA, also known as Superfund), the Honorable Judge Lonny R. Suko ruled that, "for decades Teck's leadership knew its slag and effluent flowed from Trail downstream and are now found in Lake Roosevelt, but nonetheless Teck continued discharging wastes into the Columbia River." The court noted Teck's manager's recognition that it, "had been treating Lake Roosevelt as a 'free,' 'convenient' disposal facility for its wastes." Given thisconduct and connection with Washington, Judge Suko decided that Teck could be tried in Washington, even though its smelter is located in Canada.

"We are very pleased with this outcome," said John Sirois, Chairman of the Colville Business Council. "Now that the Court has found that Teck is liable for its contamination of the Columbia River, we look forward to its participation in cleaning it up and paying for any resulting damages."

Included in the decision, the judge determined:

Between 1930 and 1995, Teck intentionally discharged at least 9.97 million tons of slag, including heavy metals such as lead, zinc, mercury, cadmium, copper, and arsenic, directly into the Columbia river via outfalls at its Trail smelter.

Teck knew its disposal of hazardous waste into the Upper Columbia river was likely to cause


harm, and was told by the Canadian government that its slag was toxic to fish and leached hazardous metals.

Pursuant to CERCLA, Teck is liable to the Tribes and the State in any subsequent action or actions to recover past or future response costs at the Upper Columbia river site.

The Court's finding that Teck is liable under CERCLA will give EPA the power to force Teck to fund necessary cleanup. The Court's ruling will also make Teck liable for any natural resource damages resulting from its releases of hazardous substances to the environment in the Upper Columbia River.

First filed in 2004, the lawsuit arose from Teck's refusal to comply with United States Superfund law to study the nature and extent of hazardous substances discharged bythe mining company in and around Lake Roosevelt and the Upper Columbia River. The smelter is located directly on the Columbia River just a few miles north of the United States border. Teck's smelting wastes have been documented throughout the 150-mile reach of the Columbia River between the Canadian border and Grand Coulee Dam.

The Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation joined the lawsuit in 2005. For seven years, the Tribes, together with the State of Washington, litigated to obtain today's result – the determination that Teck is subject to United States environmental law and is obligated to investigate and cleanup contamination in the Upper Columbia River and Lake Roosevelt. After vigorously contesting that its wastes ever deposited in the United States or released hazardous substances there, on the


eve of trial Teck finally conceded that it dumped nearly 10 million tons of smelting waste into the Columbia River, some of which included hazardous substances that deposited in the United States, and that its wastes leached heavy metals into the environment of the United States.

"Today's court ruling has great meaning for our Tribes," said Sirois. "This river is the heart of our people. It has always been and will always be our homeland, and damages to our natural resources must be addressed."

Together with other governmental entities, the Tribes and the State are actively planning scientific studies necessary to identify the extent of injury and resulting damage in the river, as well as in the upland areas. Once these studies are complete, the Tribes and State will returnfor another trial to address the damages that have resulted from the decades of release of hazardous substances in the Upper Columbia River, Lake Roosevelt, and the upland region.

About Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation

With more than 9,000 descendants of 12 aboriginal tribes of Indians enrolled, the Colville Tribes is a sovereign nation and federally-recognized Indian tribe. The existing Colville Reservation and former North Half of the Reservation are bounded by the Columbia River (including Lake Roosevelt) covering about 3 million acres located in north eastern and central Washington. This area is diverse with natural resources including standing timber, streams, rivers, lakes, minerals, varied terrain, native plants and wildlife. The Columbia River has been the homeland of the Colville People for time immemorial. The Colville tribal members use


a sharp widescreen as shot by director Jay Sin for Evil Angel. With as much material as he included on the disc (almost 4 hours in the movie alone), the lighting and editing by Luis helped keep it looking good, the ladies showcased very nicely indeed on the colorful sets. There was a company watermark but the scenes looked extremely well lit and well shot, the accuracy of the flesh tones sometimes slightly off due to too much lighting or slightly saturated shooting even though the bulk of material looked great. The aural components were not quite as well tended to though, the vocals clear and loud enough in most cases to suit an aural experience but not overly nasty as I like it. In all then, thedomestic performers again working better for me but all of the ladies looking fuckable.

Scene One: Jodi Taylor, a cute redhead with bushy eyebrows and a yummy ass, was up first in sexy sheer white lingerie as she teased the camera during a photoshoot in a contemporary home setting, the gal spreading her delicious ass cheeks to reveal her perfect pucker. She had a smile on most of the time, her eye contact superior and her A game on as she tackled Erik Everhard, Ramon Nomar, and Karlo Karrera in a no holes barred sexual tryst. I don’t usually like gangbangs but she was into it, slobbing their knobs and sporting erect nipples, her bushy pubic hair in stark contrast to how closely cropped their body hair was down


there, her flesh much lighter than Ramon or Karlos though similar to Erik here. The guys wasted no time ravaging her mouth and pussy to push her limits, Jodi sucking them off deep and stroking their meat as one guy was almost always tearing into her juicy snatch. Erik then switched to anal and her eyes lit up, her mouth stuffed with cock keeping her from saying much though she actively rode all three of them in a wide variety of positions, the DP moving to air tight (one cock in mouth, pussy, and ass at the same time) as the guys rotated positions. Once she was thoroughly warmed up, Jodi even took a DAP (two cocks in her ass at the same time), Ramon choking her asthe others porked her pucker soundly before taking his turn rubbing dicks together. It was definitely a wild scene with a great deal of enthusiasm and energy, Jodi giving everything she had before they unleashed their manly fluids on her face, Ramon excitedly losing a lot of his wad in her hair. The company website described the scene like this: “A triple treat for all-natural cock slut Jodi Taylor: The gorgeous redhead strips out of her white lingerie to reveal her furry snatch and her hungry butthole. One by one, her well-hung boyfriends, Karlo Karrera, Erik Everhard and Ramon Nomar, show up to stuff Jodi's mouth, pussy and ass full of fat dick. She enjoys double penetration, and even takes two huge schlongs inside her gaping asshole at


the same time! Jodi finishes with some tasty and messy loads of sperm.”

Scene Two: Misha Cross, a beautiful young lady with incredibly sexy eyes and reddish hair and bleach blond babe Jessie Volt, a hotty with a thicker body, were up next with Christian Clay in a room filled with white couches and veils to focus all attention on the sex. The ladies wore sexy black lingerie and kissed each other before Christian entered the picture, his boner ready to tear into them as they knelt down to slob his knob aggressively. The ladies made it a bit of a contest as they blew him too, pushing each other to go deeper as the saliva freely flowed and the gals slapped each other’s faces with the dick. Whilethey did not throat him all the way in any serious fashion, they did share him orally in a seductive manner, even trying a fish hook approach at times before Jessie climbed up on his well lubricated boner to ride him actively as Misha rimmed her precious pucker. The manner in which she slid with ease on the pecker was stimulating and Misha continued to orally service them both, the vaginal moving to a very active anal enhancing the replay value considerably before Misha took her turn to spread her ass for the moper. While leaner, Misha was a fine cock rider and his dick tearing her ass up made it look even wider, Jessie assisting her just as she had done for Jessie. The very heated scene


toy in a nasty but strokable manner during the chemistry filled scene. The company website described the scene like this: “Nasty blonde Ashley Fires loves worshiping the firm-yet-jiggly ass of adorable booty babe Jynx Maze. The two sexy sluts get on all fours and bump their butts together. Then Ashley uses big dildos and her probing tongue to make Jynx's anus wink open in a lewd anal gape. Jynx tongue-fucks the blonde's backdoor and spits into Ashley's yawning sphincter after sodomizing her with a huge pink toy. These ass-rimming lesbians share a passionate (and flavorful) kiss.”

Scene Four: Dee Siren and Naughty Alysha, a couple of busty blond bombshells with thick bodies, were up next in a scene where they did Sean Michaels, Alysha doing her first interracial anal(the gal explaining her extensive IR credentials first). The contemporary room was largely white in color and all three of the performers wore black, the ladies covered in lace initially as they pulled out their boobs for sucking and Sean jumped in to savor them as well. While Dee was the one called BBW, both ladies fit the bill, their fluffy bodies packing a great deal of junk in the trunk as they bent over next to each other to give the camera a fine look at their juicy posteriors. The ladies slobbed his lengthy knob and he spanked them a bit, some hand to gland friction and nut nuzzling added in as the ladies showed their appreciation for Sean’s quality cock. His turgid boner was ready to


as much as their near endless energy. The dirty talk and leadership by Paige was also cool, the ladies servicing their partners as they were getting pounded, Paige’s precious pucker milking his balls dry of semen though the gals lined up on their knees to get their mugs plastered in joyful fashion. The company website described the scene like this: “Pierced, spunky alterna-chick Proxy Paige is a big fan of curvaceous blonde Jenna Ashley and her big, juicy ass. The colorfully dressed ballerinas sit on clear Lucite chairs so that we can examine their winking, expressive assholes. These sexy butt-sluts sodomize each other with anal dildos, rimming their gaping sphincters. They team up to pleasure Mick Blue's big boner with their mouths.

poruchach. Painfully worrying, he remembered those events which led to this terrible day. It was not the girl minx as Dasha, at first sight it was adult serious girl. He croaked the spent on drink bass: "Luka Mudishchev, nobleman." It had an appearance the dashing: It is brushed, carefully shaved, Also I would not tell, children, That it is drunk, nevertheless strikes.the Trump campaign and Russia.” The Wall Street Journal editorial board writes, referring to the opinion piece written by the founders earlier this week.

On the afternoon of November 8, 2016, Kellyanne Conway settled into her glass office at Trump Tower. Right up until the last weeks of the race, the campaign headquarters had remained a listless place. All that seemed to distinguish it from a corporate back office were a few posters with right-wing slogans.

Conway, the campaign’s manager, was in a remarkably buoyant mood, considering she was about to experience a resounding, if not cataclysmic, defeat. Donald Trump would lose the election — of this she was sure — but he would quite possibly hold the defeat to under six points. That was a substantial victory. As for


the looming defeat itself, she shrugged it off: It was Reince Priebus’s fault, not hers.

She had spent a good part of the day calling friends and allies in the political world and blaming Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee. Now she briefed some of the television producers and anchors whom she had been carefully courting since joining the Trump campaign — and with whom she had been actively interviewing in the last few weeks, hoping to land a permanent on-air job after the election.

Even though the numbers in a few key states had appeared to be changing to Trump’s advantage, neither Conway nor Trump himself nor his son-in-law, Jared Kushner — the effective head of the campaign — wavered in their certainty: Their unexpected adventure wouldsoon be over. Not only would Trump not be president, almost everyone in the campaign agreed, he should probably not be. Conveniently, the former conviction meant nobody had to deal with the latter issue.

As the campaign came to an end, Trump himself was sanguine. His ultimate goal, after all, had never been to win. “I can be the most famous man in the world,” he had told his aide Sam Nunberg at the outset of the race. His longtime friend Roger Ailes, the former head of Fox News, liked to say that if you want a career in television, first run for president. Now Trump, encouraged by Ailes, was floating rumors about a Trump network. It was a great future. He would come out of this campaign, Trump


their worldview one whit. Almost everybody on the Trump team, in fact, came with the kind of messy conflicts bound to bite a president once he was in office. Michael Flynn, the retired general who served as Trump’s opening act at campaign rallies, had been told by his friends that it had not been a good idea to take $45,000 from the Russians for a speech. “Well, it would only be a problem if we won,” Flynn assured them.

Not only did Trump disregard the potential conflicts of his own business deals and real-estate holdings, he audaciously refused to release his tax returns. Why should he? Once he lost, Trump would be both insanely famous and a martyr to Crooked Hillary. His daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared would beinternational celebrities. Steve Bannon would become the de facto head of the tea-party movement. Kellyanne Conway would be a cable-news star. Melania Trump, who had been assured by her husband that he wouldn’t become president, could return to inconspicuously lunching. Losing would work out for everybody. Losing was winning.

Shortly after 8 p.m. on Election Night, when the unexpected trend — Trump might actually win — seemed confirmed, Don Jr. told a friend that his father, or DJT, as he calls him, looked as if he had seen a ghost. Melania was in tears — and not of joy.

There was, in the space of little more than an hour, in Steve Bannon’s not unamused observation, a befuddled Trump morphing into a disbelieving Trump and then into a horrified Trump.


But still to come was the final transformation: Suddenly, Donald Trump became a man who believed that he deserved to be, and was wholly capable of being, the president of the United States.

From the moment of victory, the Trump administration became a looking-glass presidency: Every inverse assumption about how to assemble and run a White House was enacted and compounded, many times over. The decisions that Trump and his top advisers made in those first few months — from the slapdash transition to the disarray in the West Wing — set the stage for the chaos and dysfunction that have persisted throughout his first year in office. This was a real-life version of Mel Brooks’s The Producers, where the mistaken outcome trusted by everyone in Trump’s inner circleman in the world, Trump was still trying mightily to curry favor with a media mogul who had long disdained him as a charlatan and fool.

Few people who knew Trump had illusions about him. That was his appeal: He was what he was. Twinkle in his eye, larceny in his soul. Everybody in his rich-guy social circle knew about his wide-ranging ignorance. Early in the campaign, Sam Nunberg was sent to explain the Constitution to the candidate. “I got as far as the Fourth Amendment,” Nunberg recalled, “before his finger is pulling down on his lip and his eyes are rolling back in his head.”

The day after the election, the bare-bones transition team that had been set up during the campaign hurriedly shifted from Washington to Trump Tower.


the dinner appeared doubtful. But the 76-year-old Ailes, who was as dumbfounded by his old friend Donald Trump’s victory as everyone else, understood that he was passing the right-wing torch to Bannon. Ailes’s Fox News, with its $1.5 billion in annual profits, had dominated Republican politics for two decades. Now Bannon’s Breitbart News, with its mere $1.5 million in annual profits, was claiming that role. For 30 years, Ailes — until recently the single most powerful person in conservative politics — had humored and tolerated Trump, but in the end Bannon and Breitbart had elected him.

At 9:30, having extricated himself from Trump Tower, Bannon finally arrived at the dinner, three hours late. Wearing a disheveled blazer, his signature pairing of two shirts, and military fatigues, the unshaven, overweightthat A-level stars had snubbed the event, disgruntled with the accommodations at Blair House, and visibly fighting with his wife, who seemed on the verge of tears. Throughout the day, he wore what some around him had taken to calling his golf face: angry and pissed off, shoulders hunched, arms swinging, brow furled, lips pursed.

The first senior staffer to enter the White House that day was Bannon. On the inauguration march, he had grabbed 32-year-old Katie Walsh, the newly appointed deputy chief of staff, and together they had peeled off to inspect the now-vacant West Wing. The carpet had been shampooed, but little else had changed. It was a warren of tiny offices in need of paint, the décor something like an admissions office at a public university.


the media mogul warned Trump that a president has only six months, max, to set his agenda and make an impact. After that, it was just putting out fires and battling the opposition.

This was the message whose urgency Bannon had been trying to impress on an often distracted Trump, who was already trying to limit his hours in the office and keep to his normal golf habits. Bannon’s strategic view of government was shock and awe. In his head, he carried a set of decisive actions that would not just mark the new administration’s opening days but make it clear that nothing ever again would be the same. He had quietly assembled a list of more than 200 executive orders to issue in the first 100 days. Thea sweeping exclusion of many Muslims from the United States. In his mania to seize the day, with almost no one in the federal government having seen it or even been aware of it, Bannon had succeeded in pushing through an executive order that overhauled U.S. immigration policy while bypassing the very agencies and personnel responsible for enforcing it.

The result was an emotional outpouring of horror and indignation from liberal media, terror in immigrant communities, tumultuous protests at major airports, confusion throughout the government, and, in the White House, an inundation of opprobrium from friends and family. What have you done? You have to undo this! You’re finished before you even start! But Bannon was satisfied. He could not have hoped to draw a more vivid line between


had opted for formal jobs in the West Wing, in part because they knew that influencing Trump required you to be all-in. From phone call to phone call — and his day, beyond organized meetings, was almost entirely phone calls — you could lose him. He could not really converse, not in the sense of sharing information, or of a balanced back-and-forth conversation. He neither particularly listened to what was said to him nor particularly considered what he said in response. He demanded you pay him attention, then decided you were weak for groveling. In a sense, he was like an instinctive, pampered, and hugely successful actor. Everybody was either a lackey who did his bidding or a high-ranking film functionary trying to coax out his performance —without making him angry or petulant.

Ivanka maintained a relationship with her father that was in no way conventional. She was a helper not just in his business dealings, but in his marital realignments. If it wasn’t pure opportunism, it was certainly transactional. For Ivanka, it was all business — building the Trump brand, the presidential campaign, and now the White House. She treated her father with a degree of detachment, even irony, going so far as to make fun of his comb-over to others. She often described the mechanics behind it to friends: an absolutely clean pate — a contained island after scalp-reduction surgery — surrounded by a furry circle of hair around the sides and front, from which all ends are drawn up to meet in the


center and then swept back and secured by a stiffening spray. The color, she would point out to comical effect, was from a product called Just for Men — the longer it was left on, the darker it got. Impatience resulted in Trump’s orange-blond hair color.

Kushner, for his part, had little to no success at trying to restrain his father-in-law. Ever since the transition, Jared had been negotiating to arrange a meeting at the White House with Enrique Peña Nieto, the Mexican president whom Trump had threatened and insulted throughout the campaign. On the Wednesday after the inauguration, a high-level Mexican delegation — the first visit by any foreign leaders to the Trump White House — met with Kushner and Reince Priebus. That afternoon, Kushner triumphantly told hiselevation to a mansion with palacelike servants and security, a plane at constant readiness, and downstairs a retinue of courtiers and advisers. But this wasn’t that different from Trump’s former life in Trump Tower, which was actually more commodious and to his taste than the White House.

Trump, in fact, found the White House to be vexing and even a little scary. He retreated to his own bedroom — the first time since the Kennedy White House that a presidential couple had maintained separate rooms. In the first days, he ordered two television screens in addition to the one already there, and a lock on the door, precipitating a brief standoff with the Secret Service, who insisted they have access to the room. He reprimanded the housekeeping staff for


picking up his shirt from the floor: “If my shirt is on the floor, it’s because I want it on the floor.” Then he imposed a set of new rules: Nobody touch anything, especially not his toothbrush. (He had a longtime fear of being poisoned, one reason why he liked to eat at McDonald’s — nobody knew he was coming and the food was safely premade.) Also, he would let housekeeping know when he wanted his sheets done, and he would strip his own bed.

If he was not having his 6:30 dinner with Steve Bannon, then, more to his liking, he was in bed by that time with a cheeseburger, watching his three screens and making phone calls — the phone was his true contact point with theworld — to a small group of friends, who charted his rising and falling levels of agitation through the evening and then compared notes with one another.

As details of Trump’s personal life leaked out, he became obsessed with identifying the leaker. The source of all the gossip, however, may well have been Trump himself. In his calls throughout the day and at night from his bed, he often spoke to people who had no reason to keep his confidences. He was a river of grievances, which recipients of his calls promptly spread to the ever-attentive media.

On February 6, in one of his seething, self-pitying, and unsolicited phone calls to a casual acquaintance, Trump detailed his bent-out-of-shape feelings about the relentless contempt of the media and the disloyalty of


that week of Time magazine — which, Trump reminded his listener, he had been on more than anyone in history — that showed Steve Bannon, a good guy, saying he was the real president. “How much influence do you think Steve Bannon has over me?” Trump demanded. He repeated the question, then repeated the answer: “Zero! Zero!” And that went for his son-in-law, too, who had a lot to learn.

The media was not only hurting him, he said — he was not looking for any agreement or even any response — but hurting his negotiating capabilities, which hurt the nation. And that went for Saturday Night Live, which might think it was very funny but was actually hurting everybody in the country. And while he understood that SNLoften confident, but he was just as often paralyzed, less a savant than a figure of sputtering and dangerous insecurities, whose instinctive response was to lash out and behave as if his gut, however confused, was in fact in some clear and forceful way telling him what to do.

And I think whats most important now is for the whole world to tell Iran that they have to respect the rights of their citizens and allow them to demonstrate peacefully and to not engage in the kind of violence against the demonstrators that we saw, remember, back in 2009 and that were starting to see now, as well. Q: Well, in 1956, we had a similar situation in Hungary, and the West didnt support the protesters there.

And we, as you mentioned, 2009 when President (Barack) Obama was president, in the Green Movement afterlaunch a nuclear weapon, he doesnt have the fuel to do it. He still has all these artillery weapons on the southern part of North Korea pointed right at South Korea. How potent or whats the strength that he has there? McMaster: Well, of course, this is what North Korea has done, right? Over the years, it has held the South Korea population at risk. Also, its been clear since 1953 that the South South Korea that the United States poses no threat to North Korea. Every provocation has come out of North Korea. And so, the only reason why North Korea could be pursuing this weapon is to do what? Its actually to coerce or blackmail or extort the United States to leave the peninsula and Northeast

While Lights had the audience easily wrapped up and seemed genuinely charming and multifaceted (playing guitar, piano, and the everpresent keytar), the sounds that were coming out of the speakers were monochromatic. Performance-wise, Lights truly shone the brightest on some of the softer piano ballads that showcase her vocal range, but the bulk of her material was that sort of electro-pop that some factory in Denmark sells by the pound these

Last week, Republican Kelly Ayotte narrowly lost her U.S Senate seat in New Hampshire to Democratic challenger, Gov. Maggie Hassan. Although Hassan's victory is good news for the lone 48 Democratic Senators standing up to a Republican majority and President-elect Donald Trump, Ayotte's loss means that the GOP senators have one less member who believes that human activity causes climate change.

Pittsburgh Public Schools spokeswoman Ebony Pugh says the gun was found in the student's backpack Monday after school was dismissed. The student attends the Pittsburgh Faison K-5 school.

Pugh says another student alerted the bus driver to the weapon, and the gun was removed without incident. She says parents were notified via the district's phone system.

Starting Tuesday, Pugh says all students will be required to pass through the school's metal detectors. Previously, only adult visitors and parents were required to do so.

Pugh says school police are investigating how the student came to possess the gun. She said in an email that "information related to specific charges" wasn't available.457, 462 (9th Cir.1994).

Tapirus californicus

Tapirus californicus, commonly called the California tapir, is an extinct species of tapir that inhabited North America during the Pleistocene. It became extinct about 13,000 years ago.

Tapirs have a long history on the North American continent. Fossils of ancient tapirs in North America can be dated back to 50 million-year-old Eocene rocks on Ellesmere Island, Canada, which was then a temperate climate. By 13 million years ago, tapirs very much like extant tapirs existed in Southern California.

During the Pleistocene epoch, a number of other species of tapirs are known to have inhabited the North American continent.  Along with  Tapirus californicus, Tapirus merriami was found in California and Arizona, Tapirus veroensis was found in Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Missouri, and Tennessee, and Tapirus copei was found fromA FURTHER PATIENT OF PURE 15q DELETION: CLINICAL AND MOLECULAR CYTOGENETIC FINDINGS.

Image caption Unions were unhappy at conditions offered to drivers working on the new Night Tube service

Tube strikes planned for 8 and 10 September have been suspended by the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union.

The strikes were in protest about pay and conditions ahead of the all-night Tube service due to start this month.

The union was the only one to have set fresh strikes over the 24-hour service after London Underground (LU) delayed the start of the extended hours.

The RMT said it "remained in dispute" and LU said talks would continue.

An RMT spokesman said it was "continuing discussions and negotiations" and that "all industrial action called to not co-operate with night Tube at local level, including modelling and trials, remains in place".

The spokesman added: "If further negotiations provethe site of the Bettis Atomic Laboratory. He was an employee of the Eichleay Corporation, which was on the premises under a contract with Westinghouse for the "renovation, relocation, and installation of machinery and services to provide for consolidation of the Bettis and Clairton Sites of the Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory." Westinghouse had the use and control of the premises by virtue of an agreement with the Atomic Energy Commission, under which it was performing research and development work in atomic energy for the Government. The record gives no indication why Westinghouse arranged to consolidate the two sites of the Laboratory. Westinghouse contends, however, that the painting activity in which decedent was engaged was an obligation imposed on it under its agreement with the Atomic Energy Commission.1

his behalf. To construe the subject matter of the subcontract as outside the principal contractor's regular business would be to reduce the scope of his undertaking as a principal contractor. It would, moreover, permit evasion of the purpose of the statutory provision by denying employees workmen's compensation protection in a numerous class of cases which has wide ramifications. This policy was expressed in Qualp v. James Stewart Co., supra, very shortly after the act was adopted. "The Legislature wanted to definitely fix some responsible party with the obligation of paying compensation to injured workmen, and the party selected was the first whose duty it was to assume control of the work. It selected the first in succession from the owner, believing the owner would contract with none butordinarily would do, because of the contractor's occupancy or control of the premises.

10
The circumstances in this case show clearly that the contract between Westinghouse and the Atomic Energy Commission was not entered into because of Westinghouse's ability to maintain the premises. The contract called on Westinghouse to perform important secret atomic research, and the provision for the maintenance of the premises was an incidental consequence of Westinghouse's occupancy and control of the Laboratory. Westinghouse had been in possession of the Laboratory for more than eleven years at the time the accident occurred and during that time it was for all practical purposes in the position of the owner. The complete control which Westinghouse exercised is demonstrated by its contract with Eichleay by which Westinghouse undertook, apparently on its


own initiative, to consolidate two of the sites of the Laboratory, an act which is hardly typical of a general contractor. In arranging to have the painting done by Eichleay, Westinghouse was in fact in no different position than the Atomic Energy Commission; it was dealing with work which was not its primary activity but was instead something which an owner ordinarily would be obliged to have performed as an incident to his continued use of the premises. Since the painting was not shown to be included in the work which Westinghouse ordinarily performed through its own employees, it cannot be deemed to have been a statutory employer of the decedent.

with the proceeds therefrom to be applied toward payment of said notes.
Appellant Scott and one Maggart intervened as interested stockholders claiming that the meetings of the corporation's board of directors which authorized the execution of said notes were illegal, because only two of the three directors were present, the third director, John P. Thatcher, not having had any notice of said meetings. Scott further contends that even if the resolution passed at the meeting held December 5, 1949 was valid and would authorize the execution of the first two notes, it was legally insufficient to give the officers the power to pledge any corporate assets as security.
Scott further alleges that although he, Cord, and Maggart agreed among themselves that they would use their joint efforts to acquire additionalland scrip for the benefit of all, that Cord acquired in his own name scrip representing land in excess of 3,300 acres.
We are not concerned with Maggart's complaint in intervention because his appeal herein was dismissed on stipulation.
For simplicity we shall hereafter refer to respondent Cord as Cord, Bedford Wilshire Company as the corporation, and appellant Scott as Scott.
Cord in answering Scott's complaint in intervention counterclaimed for the sum of $16,250, being one-half of the face value of two notes executed by Maggart and payable to Cord and Scott, alleging that he had advanced to Maggart $32,500 for the two notes on the promise by Scott that if the loan were made and if Scott were named as one of the payees in the notes given therefor, he


45 percent to Maggart.
John P. Thatcher, Edward D. Neuhoff, and James P. Brice were elected directors of the corporation and in consideration of the transfer to the corporation of the scrip interests, the corporation issued to Cord 27,500 shares, to Scott 27,500 shares, and to Maggart 45,000 shares of its capital stock. Later Cord and Scott transferred their shares of stock to the First National Bank of Nevada as voting trustee, under a written agreement whereby neither could vote the stock unless both were in agreement.
The meetings of the board of directors authorizing the borrowing of the money and the execution of the said notes and the pledge of assets were held pursuant to the provisions of article II, Section 6 of the bylaws[1], and in accordance therewith,all the stockholders including appellant Scott.
5. All of the stockholders gave implied authority to a quorum of the board of directors (i.e., two directors) meeting in accordance with the said provisions of the bylaws relating to regular directors' meetings to perform corporate acts without actual notice to the third director of the time and place of such meetings.
From the stipulated facts and the evidence presented the trial court determined that the various agreements entered into by and between Cord, Scott, and Maggart were not intended to nor did they create the relationship of a joint venture, but rather a corporate relationship. With such fact established as its premise, the lower court then found that there was an agreement among Cord, Scott, and Maggart, being all of the stockholders


of the corporation, that Cord was to have secured promissory notes for his advances, that such advances were made, that pursuant to such agreement of the stockholders the board of directors authorized the issuance of secured promissory notes to Cord for such advances, at regular meetings duly held, and that both the corporation and Scott were estopped from denying the validity of the notes and pledges. The court further found that the acquisition by Cord of scrip in his own name was a transaction personal to him, said scrip having been purchased by him for his own account.
With respect to Cord's said counterclaim against Scott, the court found that the allegations of the counterclaim were true and that Scott was indebted to Cord in the sum of $16,250authorized the execution of the notes acted improperly by failing to give actual notice of such meetings to director Thatcher.
The evidence reveals that at every meeting of the board of directors only two of the three directors had been present, that the minutes in each instance are silent as to actual notice to the absent director, and that this situation existed at the meeting of September 19, 1951, held after the alleged illegal meeting where the first two promissory notes to Cord were authorized, when directors Thatcher and Neuhoff were present, with Thatcher acting as chairman thereof, and at which director Brice was absent. No objection to this procedure was ever made by any of the stockholders or directors until after the commencement of this action, although such


in frequent contact with each other may act effectively without going through the useless formality of convening as a board."
Having concluded that neither the corporation nor Scott can attack the validity of the board meetings which purported to authorize the issuance of the three notes to *777 Cord, we now consider Scott's contention that even if such proceedings were valid, the act of the officers in executing the particular notes exceeded the authority expressed in the resolutions.
At the meeting held on December 5, 1949, upon which is based the authority for the execution of the first two notes, the following resolution was adopted:
"Be It Resolved that the Secretary of the corporation, be and he is hereby authorized and empowered to secure loans as may be necessary and requiredfrom time to time and upon such terms and conditions as he shall approve, and that the evidence of any such indebtedness or loans be signed by the President and Secretary of the corporation from time to time as may be necessary and required upon such terms and conditions and in such form as shall be first approved by the Secretary of the corporation."
The authority to execute the third note was based on the following resolution adopted at the meeting held January 30, 1952:
"Be It Resolved that this corporation make, execute, and deliver to E.L. Cord a demand promissory note in the amount of Forty-Four Thousand Dollars ($44,000.00), to cover money loaned to the corporation, said note to be in the usual form, and as collateral security therefor

Two local mountain lion kittens have died of starvation after they were apparently abandoned by their mother. The National Park Service first found and tagged the two kittens in a remote area of the Santa Monica Mountains about a month ago.

It's not known for sure why the mom, known by her ID tag as P-42, abandoned them. But Park Service spokeswoman Kate Kuykendall told KPCC it may have been a strategy to protect the kittens from a male mountain lion living in the area.

"Sometimes a mom will actually leave and travel with a male and mate with a male when her kittens are young," she said. "Seemingly, it's a strategy to distract them from potentially preying upon their kittens."

The male mountain lion in this case has preyed onGermany's political stability and economic sway have until recently earned Chancellor Angela Merkel unprecedented global influence and power.

Postwar Germany has become the financial powerhouse of Europe and a model nation. Give credit to German hard work and competency for the country's continuing economic miracle.

Less appreciated is how Germany also brilliantly exploited the lucrative in-house trade framework of the European Union market -- along with nearly seven decades of subsidized defense from an American-led NATO.

The result is that Germany alone now determines the fiscal future of the nearly insolvent southern European Union nations on the Mediterranean.

Germany was also the self-appointed broker between Vladimir Putin and the apprehensive EU. Merkel supposedly has watered down Putin's military ambitions by seducing Russia with lucrative German trade.

In addition, Germany positioned itself as the


moral voice of Europe. In penance for an aggressive past that had nearly wrecked Europe on three occasions, it became the loudest critic of supposed U.S. imperialism.

By the 21st century, German media, politicians and intellectuals had superseded their French counterparts as America's most vocal European critics -- from the Iraq war to eavesdropping by American intelligence agencies.

In terms of tough leadership, Germany's iron lady, Merkel, had trumped even the reputation of Britain's late former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. In world opinion, Merkel was deemed just as decisive as Thatcher, but with a far stronger global hand to play and with a more popular embrace of social justice.

In sum, the new post-Cold War Germany was evolving into the leader of the West, especially during the American recessional from worldaffairs orchestrated by President Barack Obama.

No more. In just the last six months Germany in general, and Merkel in particular, have imploded.

Merkel's disastrous decision to open the borders of Germany -- and with them Europe's as well -- is proving both selfish and suicidal.

Hordes of migrants are swarming into Europe. Merkel's naivete cannot be dressed up in her professed humanitarianism, given that many of the migrants are young, single men from the Middle East who pour into Europe not as political refuges but as opportunists eager for European social largesse.

Aside from the costs, and the religious and social tensions that hundreds of thousands of young unemployed Muslim males will create in Europe, there are lots of other hypocrisies in the German migrant situation.

Germany was far tougher in its


partnered government do a better job of checking corporate outlawry.

Who or what might eventually deter the territorial ambitions of Russian President Vladimir Putin? Germany has become the most powerful of the European nations largely by creating a lucrative Eastern European trade empire. The former nations of the Warsaw Pact and many of the breakaway republics of the former Soviet Union sell resources to the German economic juggernaut. In exchange, they buy German consumer and industrial goods -- and expect German leadership and protection from an aggressive Putin.

But profits can outweigh German principles. Apparently, the only deterrent that may stop Putin from invading more countries is not watered-down German trade sanctions, but American troops flown into Germany's backyard from more than 3,000 miles away.

The Greek-German debacle, the migrant mess,PV Sindhu made history on Sunday, becoming the first Indian to win the season-ending BWF World Tour Finals tournament. Sindhu came up against a familiar foe in Nozomi Okuhara in the title clash but unlike her previous meetings, the Indian superstar showed much more patience in her gameplay against the Japanese. This was critical to the Indian shuttler's cause as Okuhara was made to toil and given no breathing space as PV Sindhu claimed a 21-19, 21-17 win in the final for her first title of the year.

Sindhu, who had lost in the summit clash to another Japanese, Akane Yamaguchi in the last edition, put in a brilliant all-round display to give no chance to Okuhara in the final.

Sindhu had a tough time this year, unable to win


even a single tournament but the Indian shuttler was in top form and ended the season-finale unbeaten. In both games, Sindhu made a fast start but Okuhara managed to stay within touching distance.

Sindhu, though, had just too much in her locker and won points at crucial junctures to maintain her dominance in the match.

After leading the second game from start to finish, the Indian star grabbed three match points and converted them immediately to seal the issue in her favour.

The 23-year-old Indian has suffered numerous heartbreaks in finals of tournaments in recent years. She took home the silver after losing to Spain's Carolina Marin at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

She suffered more heartbreaks at the Asian Games and Commonwealth Games this year, and has also twice lost in thefinal of the World Championships and was runner-up in last year's season finale.

The world number six, renowned for her never-say-die attitude, put all her past disappointments behind her in the Chinese city of Guangzhou, beating the fifth-ranked Okuhara in straight games in the women's final that lasted just over an hour.

Sindhu, who was always in control of the match, sealed the championship with a forehand smash, before collapsing to the court floor on her hands and knees.

Promoted

The men's final later Sunday tees up the two top players in the world, top-ranked Kento Momota of Japan against number two and home star Shi Yuqi.

Before television and radio customers at the old Inn told stories and tales that were passed down to the next generation of locals, one such story was that Ye Olde Inn had witnessed on May, 1679, when armed horsemen rode into the town and fixed to the cross a Declaration and Testimony of the true Presbyterian Church, an act of revolt which led to the bloody battles of Drumclog and Bothwell Brig.both the unorganised and organised sectors.

Sitharaman underlined that within 36 hours of the lockdown — Prime Minister Narendra Modi directed a national lockdown for three weeks on Tuesday night — the government had come up with measures to immediately take care of welfare concerns of the poor. She, however, did not address questions about the fiscal implications of the scheme, or announce measures for other economic sectors which have also got severely affected in the wake of the restrictions and the lockdown.

Sitharaman announced a medial insurance cover of Rs 50 lakh per person for doctors, health care personnel and sanitation staff, acknowledging their contribution at this crisis hour.

The PMGKY had two broad components — the first was centred on ensuring food availability and support, and the second was


centred on income support.

On food, Sitharaman said 800 million people — two-thirds of the country’s population — would now be eligible for, in addition to the existing allocation of five kg of wheat or rice, another five kg of wheat or rice per month, for the next three months, for free. They would also get one kg of pulse, according to the specific regional variant of the pulse in their geographical area, in this period. “This is meant to ensure that no one stays hungry,” emphasised Sitharaman.

In terms of direct financial support, the FM announced support under eight distinct categories using the direct benefits transfer framework.

The first was targeted at farmers, who get direct cash support of ₹6,000 annually under the PM-Kisan scheme. Sitharaman said that the firstmillion women Jan Dhan account holders. The government will give them ₹500 per month, for three months, to ensure they can run their households in this period of disruption.” A related announcement was for the beneficiaries of the PM Ujjwala scheme, where over 83 million households got gas cylinders. “For three months, these households will get free cylinders.” Anecdotal evidence suggests that many households have found the cost of refilling their gas cylinders burdensome. Minister of state for finance, Anurag Thakur, sitting alongside Sitharaman, underlined that with these measures, the government was seeking to ensure that poor families had access to food, to incomes, and to cooking gas.

The fifth measure was targeted at women self-help groups (SHGs). Sitharaman pointed out that there were 6.3 million SHGs in the


Ryan McGinley's India (Coyote), 2010

Comic artist (and BB contributor) Wendy Pini was issued a second ban by Facebook today after posting a widely-shared photo to her wall. She was told that she faces permanent expulsion if it happens again—despite the social network's recent assurances that it only intends to block pornographic content, not legitimate artwork.

The suspension comes just days after Facebook temporarily banned The New Yorker over a cartoon depicting the biblical Eve's dot-nipples. Last month saw Pini's own first warning for posting a painting of Bunchh, an androgynous character whose ambigiously-gendered blue cartoon boobs ran afoul of the social network's ambigiously-defined porn policy.

Her latest troubles, however, come over something to be found widely at Facebook: the popular photography of Ryan McGinley, whose artwork may be seen fromcharities. The process is of little concern to conservatives if their agenda is met by passing more federal laws and increasing spending. Instead of concentrating on the repeal of Roe vs. Wade and eliminating federal judicial authority over issues best dealt with at the state level, more federal laws are passed, which strictly speaking should not be the prerogative of the federal government.

The biggest shortcoming of the Christian Right position is its adamancy for protecting life in the very early, late, and weakened stages, while enthusiastically supporting aggressive war that results in hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths. While the killing of the innocent unborn represents a morally decadent society, and all life deserves an advocate, including Terri Schiavo, promoting a policy of deadly sanctions and all-out war


Judge Sets Deadline for Koger

Federal Bankruptcy Judge Stephen S. Mitchell gave Robert S. Koger until Jan. 28, 2008 to produce a reorganization plan for Koger Management Group or lose control of the company he built.

The ruling was made at a court hearing on Dec. 7 in the face of growing anger by the hundreds creditors who claimed through their lawyer, Bradford F. Englander, that Koger has “continued to stiff-arm the associations in their efforts to obtain an accounting of their financial status.”

Koger and his wife Pamela sat silently in bankruptcy court last Friday as a lawyer for the creditors severely criticized his handling of the major homeowners association service company.

“The Debtor’s uncooperative and confrontational agenda results from a toxic blend of conflicts of interest and ineptitude,” said Englander,but, in today’s low-yield world, investors are hungry for income, allowing the market to easily digest the increase in supply. Investors started to pour back into the market as liquidity improved and the primary market presented new opportunities.

March saw exceptionally strong inflows into both high yield exchange-traded funds and mutual funds, including a record $4.97 billion during the first week. This technical dynamic gave the rebound breadth and contributed to the snapback in spreads.

A Spike Ahead?

Keeping with this trend, these two technical factors have continued into April and, in our view, will likely persist. Some $33 billion was priced in April, surpassing issuance in March and nearing the issuance of April 2015. Fund flows in April have been positive for the first three weeks of the month. However,


Obama appointments are unconstitutional

WASHINGTON (AP) - A federal appeals court has ruled that President Barack Obama violated the Constitution when he bypassed the Senate to fill vacancies on a labor relations panel.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit says Obama did not have the power to make recess appointments last year to the National Labor Relations Board.

Obama claims he acted properly because the Senate was away for the holidays. But the court says the Senate technically stayed in session when lawmakers gaveled in and out every few days for so-called "pro forma" sessions.

GOP lawmakers used the tactic specifically to prevent Obama from using his recess power to fill vacancies in an agency they claimed was too pro-union.

The Obama administration is expected to appeal the decision tocredits. Students remain enrolled at their high school. The courses count towards high school graduation requirements and towards earning a college degree. The students continue to have full access to activities and programs at their high school. The college credits are offered at a deeply discounted rate. The state offers a small grant to assist students in costs for tuition, fees and books. Under the Pennsylvania Transfer and Articulation Agreement, many Pennsylvania colleges and universities accept these credits for students who transfer to their institutions. The Pennsylvania College Credit Transfer System reported in 2009, that students saved nearly $35.4 million by having their transferred credits count towards a degree under the new system. For the 2009-10 funding year, the school district received a state grant of $5,101 for


a preliminary budget in February. A school district adopting the resolution may not apply for referendum exceptions or ask voters for a tax increase above the inflation index. A specific timeline for these decisions is publisher each year by the Pennsylvania Department of Education.

According to a state report, for the 2011-2012 school year budgets, 247 school districts adopted a resolution certifying that tax rates would not be increased above their index; 250 school districts adopted a preliminary budget. Of the 250 school districts that adopted a preliminary budget, 231 adopted real estate tax rates that exceeded their index. Tax rate increases in the other 19 school districts that adopted a preliminary budget did not exceed the school district’s index. Of the districts who sought exceptions 221 used theA Closer Look at the Science Around Us

The Life and Lies of Kudzu

Southerners see it everywhere: green tentacles snaking up the road signs, vines suffocating vast green meadows of trees. The infestation has become a trademark of the south: kudzu. Many Americans grow up hearing that kudzu was imported for erosion control, but the true story is more complex.

For the celebration of the hundredth year since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the Japanese brought many ornamental plants, including kudzu, to Philadelphia in 1876 at the Centennial Exposition. The Japanese use the vine’s fiber to make clothing, paper, and other goods, but Americans were attracted to kudzu’s aesthetic. The lush vine and its aromatic flowers impressed gardeners visiting the exhibit, who introduced it to American gardens


as an ornamental shade vine.

Let me call you sweetheart under the old kudzu vine, an article in the Fair Play (St. Genevieve, MO), 1919

Growing as fast as 60 feet per season, kudzu became a sensation in 1893 when newspapers cited it as the fastest growing vine in the world. Home gardeners started finding the plant to be too tenacious for arbors and home gardens and were busy getting rid of the unstoppable weed.

After kudzu lost popularity as an ornamental, local governments suggested it as a forage crop because it grows well on poor and rocky soils. Forage crops are a special group of crops that farmers grow widely over large expanses of field and use to feed livestock.

Kudzu has all the attributes of a good forage crop. First,structural integrity of banks while building railroads and highways across the country. While it provided success against erosion on embankments, kudzu was losing popularity quickly as a forage crop.

Despite its early promise, kudzu couldn’t handle sustained feeding. Livestock grazing severely stunted its summer growth, and it had a hard time regrowing between feeding seasons. So kudzu was ditched as a forage crop in the mid 1940’s. The government ceased subsidizing farmers to plant it, who replaced it as an agricultural commodity with higher yielding crops.

Despite its appeal in southernliterature and myths passed around by many, kudzu is not actually the major invasive weed that old scientific literature would have us believe. Many accounts state that there are 7 million acres of kudzu vines across the United States, but


President Obama lost his first veto fight with Congress on Wednesday after Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate voted overwhelmingly to override his objection to a bill that would allow families of the Americans killed in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to sue the government of Saudi Arabia.

The bipartisan vote came despite lobbying from Obama to uphold his veto. Obama said he objects to the bill because it could damage U.S. relations with Saudi Arabia and could undermine America's own sovereign immunity against lawsuits.

The Senate voted 97-1 to override Obama's veto, and the only "no" vote was from Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.

The House voted a few hours later and was also able to get the two-thirds vote needed to override Obama's veto, handingRamon Santamaria, tennis pro

Ramon "Ray" Santamaria Jr., a retired tennis pro and captain of the 1954 Johns Hopkins University lacrosse team, died of cancer Dec. 9 at Union Memorial Hospital. The Cockeysville resident was 80.

Born in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, he was the son of Ramon Santamaria Sr., who came to Baltimore in 1938 as consul for the Republic of Honduras. His mother, Ramona, was a homemaker.

He lived on Keswick Road in Roland Park and was a 1950 graduate of Polytechnic Institute, where he was class president all four years, played lacrosse and wrestled. A 1949 Sun article noted that while he was class president at Poly, his brother, Angelo, was class president at City College.

He earned a degree in industrial engineering at the Johns Hopkins University, where he was


a member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity.

"Ray Santamaria, a 140-pound midfielder, is one of the fastest men on the squad," a 1954 Sun article said. "Santamaria showed steady improvement all year and closed out the season with a fine performance against Mount Washington."

Robert H. "Bob" Scott, who went on to become the Hopkins lacrosse coach and athletic director, recalled Mr. Santamaria as a Hopkins classmate: "He was an outstanding player. He had speed, toughness and competitiveness. He was an outstanding leader, too. He liked to get the ball to his teammates."

Mr. Santamaria was awarded the university's Erlanger Award for outstanding senior player, the Turnbull Reynolds Award for outstanding leader and the Penniman Award for outstanding midfielder.

He was named an honorable mention All American and was selected tocompete in the 1954 North-South game of the U.S. Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association. After leaving Hopkins, he played on the Mount Washington Club lacrosse team.

He became a salesman for Lion Brothers, a firm that manufactures embroidered patches for sports teams, as well as police and fire departments. He worked with officials of the American Athletic Union to develop emblems for its teams.

In 1958, he took a job as an interpreter at a banana plantation in Guayaquil, Ecuador. When the plantation's manager left, he became assistant manager of the operation, owned by the Sewanee Steamship Co., a business that also owned a grocery chain, the Piggly Wiggly stores.

Family members said that after working at Lions Brothers, he modified his career in the late 1960s and took up tennis as a


profession, while retaining an interest in monogramming and emblems.

His brother, Angelo Santamaria, who lives in Lutherville, recalled that his sibling "just got into tennis like any neighborhood kid. He was self-taught and a left-handed player. We walked from our house on Keswick Road to the courts at Gilman School. He had a varied life, and tennis was always his first love."

Mr. Santamaria was a charter member and tennis professional at the Homeland Racquet Club, which initially used the Friends School courts. He was later the tennis pro at the Baltimore Country Club and at Baltimore Fitness and Tennis at the Pikesville Hilton.

Mr. Santamaria also had a pro shop, where he restrung rackets for tennis players and sold tennis clothing and supplies. He also operated a monogramming machine andworked with dry cleaners and men's clothing shops, including Jos. A. Banks and Eddie Jacobs.

Mr. Santamaria returned to Hopkins as its tennis coach in the late 1970s and coached for five years.

"He was an ambassador for tennis," said Barry Grube, an official of the Homeland Racquet Club. "He was a guru of clay courts. He knew about their seasonal preparation and their daily maintenance."

Mr. Santamaria kept up this aspect of his business until this year. In early spring, he would recondition the clay courts at the Woodholme, Suburban, Homeland and Baltimore country clubs with a tractor and spreader. He also set the nets and relined the courts.

In a separate business, he also sold rock star posters to local variety shops.

He was also a tennis referee or line judge


for the Baltimore Association of Tennis Officials. He played tennis daily, family members said.

Mr. Santamaria donated his body to the State Anatomy Board.

Services are private.

a whole thing about old age and retirement. I probably had visited my folks' RV out in Palm Springs one too many times [laughs]. I thought, "Hey, let's take this fictional couple."
One day, Tim, Greg, and I were sitting in Tim's rehearsal hall, and Tim had these old records on the wall. There was one with an old couple on it, in front of Oak Creek Canyon. I thought, "Hey, what would it be like to explore their lives?" I took that up and built the lyrics around it. We even used the original cover. It was the picture of this exact couple, and the name of the album was "Songs of the Heart," released in like 1963. We used a fictional name for the couple in thehills above them. The area has long attracted amateur gold panners, and John Riley, of Strathfillan community council says that the community is excited about the development. He also says that "The mine will provide obvious advantages in employment, training and education for young people and others in the community, which will have all sorts of knock-on effects on ancillary trades and hotels and guest houses." "People will want to come and see the mine. It will have a very beneficial effect. Obviously there are environmental issues but we think they have been adequately addressed."
