was jailed by a Dutch court on Wednesday, triggering the decision to publicise the scale of the police operation. The site was closed down on the 25 November 2009.

"We could have publicised this earlier, or later, but once the website owner was in court it was obvious that information would emerge," said a Dutch police spokesman.

Operation Rescue began in 2007, after Ceop and Australian police independently found boylover.net. Three detectives then posed as members to identify those who posed the biggest risk to children.

The breakthrough came when officers were able to access and take over the account of the only UK administrator, based in Durham, and were able to see the personal details, including date of birth, occupation and country of residence of members. "We were amazed thatthey had registered their true occupations" said Kelvin Lay, a senior investigating officer and one of the three responsible for infiltrating the site.

Lay and the other officers identified those who had an occupation or hobby that put them in contact with children as grade A. He said: "We painstakingly went through every post and message to identify whether they were physically abusing children or had access to children." This process led to the 121 arrests.

The Europol director, Rob Wainwright, described the results of the investigation as "phenomenal" and praised analysts at Europol's headquarters for infiltrating the sophisticated computer codes designed to cover the tracks of those using the online forum to meet or exchange illegal images of children. He said: "The safeguarding of so many vulnerable children is


particularly rewarding."

He added that Europol had so far issued more than 4,000 intelligence reports to police authorities in more than 30 countries, which had led to the arrest of suspects and the identification of abused children.

The website, boylover.net, had attracted a cross-section of professional workers including teachers, taxi drivers and IT consultants, he said.

As part of the operation, Ceop provided intelligence to Thai police in February 2008 about British nationals suspected of committing child sexual abuse in their jurisdiction. This led to Operation Naga in November 2008, during which four suspects were arrested, according to Ceop.the people to avail services to be provided by the state government and its agencies and lapses on the part of officials in discharge of their obligations will amount to violation of proposed act," Kumar said.

Trying Not To Break Down — A Homeless Teen Navigates Middle School

Fourteen-year-old Caydden Zimmerman's school days start early and end late.

He has a 90-minute bus ride to get from the homeless shelter where he is staying in Boise, Idaho, to his middle school. He wakes up at 5:45 a.m., quickly brushes his teeth and smooths some gel in his hair, and then he dashes downstairs to catch his school bus.

About 2.5 million children in the U.S. currently are homeless, according to the National Center on Family Homelessness. That number is rising as house prices and rental costs continue to grow in cities large and small, and the trend is clearly visible in Boise —district received a grant to pay for a bus to transport homeless students who are scattered across the Boise area.

Homeless students often bounce around to different schools as their living situations change. That can make it nearly impossible to keep up, so Pathways Middle School Principal Eric Eschen wants to do everything he can to keep tabs on students like Caydden.

"He's a very positive student, very giving, a very good friend," Eschen says. He points to a recent time when Caydden approached him to alert him that another student was making a mess with mustard in the bathroom. He took it as a sign that Caydden cares about the community and the school. For homeless kids, sometimes school can be a place of refuge and consistency in an


otherwise hectic and messy world.

Eschen keeps an eye on Caydden because, like a lot of students in his situation, he struggled with absences last year.

"That really affected him and affected his progress, so we've got some catch-up to do this year," Eschen says.

At the end of the school day, it's another 90-minute bus ride before Caydden meets his grandma on the steps of the homeless shelter. They wait outside for Caydden's brother to arrive on another bus. Meanwhile, Caydden checks in with Cantrell about the week's schedule.

"Grandma, on Friday are you just going to go in and wait for me and Keston?" he says. "Cause you've got laundry."

"Yeah, I probably will," Cantrell says. She has to keep Caydden apprised of her comings and goings at the shelter sothat he won't worry.

Growing up fast

Caydden has had to grow up faster than your typical 14-year-old. With his dad out of the picture and his mom's drug addiction, he often had to be responsible for his little brother.

"Help get him ready for school, I had to make sure Mom wasn't ... gone," Caydden says. "I had to feed Keston when Mom was passed out for days. There was one time when we only had cereal for, like, two weeks."

Caydden has been trying to convince his grandma that she should let him get a job so he can help with rent. He'd like to earn money at a fast-food restaurant or, at the least, raking leaves and shoveling snow.

"It's like something I want to do," Caydden says. "I just


want to help out."

But Cantrell, aware that her grandson has already been through more than most teenagers, won't have it.

"You are not getting a job. You need to be a child as long as possible, Caydden," she says, patting his knee. "You don't want to be in a big hurry to grow up, honey."

"This is home!"

A few weeks later, there's good news in Caydden's world — they found a house. It's about 700 square feet that they share with another woman from the shelter. Caydden sleeps in the basement, in a tiny room with concrete walls and a small window. Cantrell and Keston sleep on inflatable mattresses in the living room.

"It's not the greatest,but it's not the worst," Cantrell says. She's been working on sprucing up the place. She plans to brighten up the living room with fresh paint.

But for Caydden, it's a huge improvement.

"I feel much more comfortable and safe," he says. He loves that the house is near Boise State University and has a weed-filled backyard that backs up to an alley. On football game days, he figured out that he can sell parking spots in the yard to game-goers.

"Last weekend we made 90 bucks!" Caydden says. He's scheming about trying to sell sodas on game day, too.

But probably most importantly, he can claim something he hasn't been able to for quite some time:

"This is home!" he says, smiling.

Zhu Hua and Zhang Shilong are charged with conspiracy to commit computer intrusions and wire fraud, as well as aggravated identity theft, as part of years-long campaigns to steal from numerous foreign governments and dozens of companies. They remain at large.

The Justice Department on Thursday announced charges against two Chinese nationals on charges of participating in a global hacking campaign to steal technology company secrets and intellectual property, as well as the personal data of more than 100,000 members of the U.S. Navy.

Through a hacking group known as "Advanced Persistent Threat 10" or "APT10" — as well as other names including "Red Apollo" and "Stone Panda" — the defendants stole information from at least 45 U.S. tech companies and government agencies, authorities said.

Prosecutors also accused the two ofof the companies were not named, though the document says that the agencies targeted included the Department of Energy's National Laboratory and NASA's jet propulsion lab.

APT10 allegedly hacked into more than 40 computers connected to the U.S. Navy and stole confidential data, including "the personally identifiable information of more than 100,000 Navy personnel."

They're also accused of hacking three communications technology companies, three companies "involved in manufacturing advanced electronic systems," a maritime technology company, an oil and gas company, and at least 25 other technology-related companies.


For Bedane to even have a chance of getting his birth certificate, he needs to prove that he was born in Arizona.

He says he was, in 1934, at home, far from any hospital. "From where I lived, it's about 60 miles," Bedane says. "Dirt roads, no paved. But mostly wagons. It takes days."

Bedane has his Navajo Census record, but that's just one document. Matilda Perdue says he needs many more. "He would need to provide 4, 5, maybe 6 documents with the same name, the same date of birth, the same mother's name, and the same father's name all across these documents," she says.

And this is where confusion comes in because first and last names were sometimes changed later. That's what happened to Bedane when he joined theoffice even opens.

"Today is birth certificate day in Tuba City at the Coconino County District Office," Fowler declares. While Matilda Perdue meets with clients, Fowler walks around the crowded waiting room making sure everyone is comfortable. She says one man told her he'd been trying for 6 years to get his birth certificate. "He burned all the papers that he had accumulated because he was so frustrated," she says. "Then, he recently received a letter saying if you don't show your birth certificate, it's going to jeopardize your retirement benefits."

Fowler says she became so frustrated with stories like this that she finally contacted state officials about a year ago. "It took a while," she says, "calls and emails - for the state to acknowledge that there was actually


we hope this will do is make it a one stop shop."

County Supervisor Lena Fowler says she's happy with the progress, but hopes for something more permanent - a change to state regulations. And Fowler admits, the issue is very personal for her.

Fowler grew up on the Navajo Nation, near her current office in Tuba City. But there's still a long, winding, dirt road that leads to her family's home, where her mother still lives.

It sits between 2 mesas in the remote high desert. "We have several sheep corrals, there's one way out there on that hill," Fowler points out. "We have our horse corral, and then we have our shade house here."

Lena Fowler was the first in her family to be born in a hospital. That's whyshe has her birth certificate. "My older sisters, they do not have birth certificates. My mother doesn't have a birth certificate. My uncle, my aunts...they all don't have birth certificates," she says.

Fowler's older sister, Elizabeth, who's visiting on this day, says because she was born here - at home - her only official proof of birth is with the Navajo Census Office. But, there was a mix-up, she says, when the family first registered her. "My Uncle Jimmy said that when they went to register me, they asked when my birth date was, and he figured they were asking for his birthday, so he said his birth date." It wasn't until Elizabeth's first visit to a hospital that her father listed her actual birthday. She hopes that discrepancy


The 28-hour countdown for the launch of a record 104 satellites by India on board a single rocket from the spaceport of Sriharikota, about 125 km from Chennai, commenced on Tuesday.

India will become the first country to script history if it succeeds in launching the 104 satellites in a single rocket.

The countdown for the launch of PSLV-C37/Cartosat2 Series satellite mission began at 5:28 AM soon after the Mission Readiness Review committee and Launch Authorisation Board gave its approval for lift off, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said.

Scientists have commenced filling of the propellant for the rocket, it said.

The space agency's trusted workhorse Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle PSLV-C37, on its 39th mission, would launch a record 104 satellites belonging to international customers.

What is significant about the launch is theInternational customers of ISRO - Israel, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, respectively.

Two other Indian nano satellites, totally weighing about 1,378 kg, will also ride piggyback in the rocket

The nano-satellites belonging to international customers are being launched as part of the arrangement by Antrix Corporation Ltd (ANTRIX) the commercial arm of the ISRO. Cartosat-2 Series, which is the primary satellite, will be similar to the earlier four satellites in Cartosat-2 Series.

After coming into operation, it will provide remote sensing services.Images sent by it will be useful for coastal land use and regulation, road network monitoring, distribution of water and creation of land use maps, among others.

Cartosat-2 Series has a mission life of five years. The two Indian Nano-satellites INS-1A and INS-1B were developed as co-passenger satellites to accompany


Organ grinder, monkey delighted children at fair

DEL MAR — Now there’s entertainment everywhere at the fair. Not so when money to put on the event was limited and it went primarily for community exhibits, agriculture displays and commercial booths.
But there was the organ grinder and his little monkey of the Capuchin species stationed near the entrance to the ground. The monkey was outfitted in a colorful suit, tie, hat and wore an apron with a big pocket. As the grinder played music that sounded like a calliope from a box like instrument the monkey would work the crowd, sit on a kid’s lap, doff his hat, and stick out his tiny hand and collect pennies and other coins. He squealed with delight when he received paper money andis considerable suspicion and secrecy surrounding his death. Rob is sent away to a State boarding school where harsh disciplinary measures and ritual bullying by seniors soon make life intolerable; in his desperation, he devises a plan of escaping to the County, reasoning that he will avoid detection there much more easily than anywhere in the heavily-surveillanced Conurbs. He is further driven by the fact that his mother was also from the County and had herself crossed over into the Conurbs to be with his father.
Slipping out and making his way to Reading, he comes up against the Barrier dividing that Conurb from the County adjacent. The Barrier, unmanned, proves be a much less of a challenge than popular rumour suggests, and, finding a spot at which he


is able to dig a gap underneath that is large enough to pass through, Rob crosses over into the County. He takes in his expansive surroundings as he continues north-west but does not manage a long distance before he is noticed. A figure on horse spots him and gives chase, catching up quickly as Rob twists his foot running.

....

The next day, a patrol stops at the Gifford house with orders to escort Rob for questioning. Rob's initial apprehensions about this are calmed when he is taken not to law enforcement but to Old Hall, Sir Percy Gregory's home. Over coffee and cherry cake, Rob comfortably recounts his old Nepal backstory again in response to Sir Percy's prompting questions. Sir Percy, however, shocks him when complimenting him by usinghis real surname. It becomes clear that Rob's true identity has been known to him for a long time now and that the authorities have tolerated his presence in the County. Using this as leverage, Sir Percy attempts to manipulate Rob into informing. Rob tells him everything except for Mike's late-night visit and the secret address; this seems to satisfy Sir Percy, though he had been hoping to find out more about the leaders of the movement and their present location. Disturbingly, Sir Percy tells Rob of what is to be done with Mike if he is found: a certain surgical procedure on the brain which renders the subject docile and obedient. He also tells Rob of the secret group of overseers responsible for the present system (the

Houtz was supervising the ten boys (including Best) who were playing basketball; Smith was supervising the other boys who were watching the game and waiting for their turn to play. The game progressed for several minutes back and forth along the court before Best slipped on the water and fell. The puddle of water was roughly located under a vent in the ceiling. Neither Houtz, Smith, nor Best had seen any water on the floor prior to Best's fall, and none of them had seen any water dropping from the vent.

Hutchinson correctly notes that were it not for the support of a coalition of black clergy and black community-level anti-violence advocates, as well as most members of the CBC, including civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), the crime bill might have stalled in Congress. Remember: Drug and gang violence was plaguing black communities in the 1990s. While the bill contained some harsh provisions — expanded death penalties, toughened sentencing guidelines, money for more prisons — it also contained enough sweeteners — money for drug prevention, education and job training — to bring black legislators on board.

Biden championed the bill, to be sure, but he got cues from black leaders in Congress. And PresidentBill Clinton, who signed the bill, used the moment to burnish his image as a crime-fighting liberal who was no bleeding heart. Clinton has acknowledged that the bill wrongly accelerated mass incarcerations. Hillary Clinton also certainly paid a price during the 2016 presidential campaign for her support of the bill while in the White House as first lady.

But on her drive back home to Washington, it was the wildlife that caused a tragic accident.

Noel swerved her Toyota truck in order to avoid hitting a deer on the road. Her vehicle flipped several times, eventually landing on her left leg that was sticking out of the window.

She was trapped.

Bleeding profusely, Noel was desperate to break free and seek help. She decided to try and use her keys to first try to dig under the car door to release her leg. But after 10 hours of work, she could only make small dent in the solid ground.

Her next plan was to amputate her own leg with her keys!

But before she began


cutting, Noel realizes that her keys were too short and too dull to slice through her flesh. Her only hope would be to jerk her leg out as hard as she could pull.

With great pain, Noel managed to tug her limb out from under the truck. Her leg was now in even worse shape and still bleeding. She made a tourniquet out of her sweatshirt. She had lost so much blood already though that she was only able to move 15 feet from her truck before she collapsed from exhaustion.

Noel later described what was going through her mind at that moment, saying:

"I couldn't believe it was happening to me and I really thought I was going to die.”

Defendant were found guilty-- all under Count I (conspiracy), as well as Darnell under Counts II, III, and IV, Dunn under Count IV and Fizer under Count V.  Each was sentenced to prison for a term of a year and a day on each of such counts, the sentences to run concurrently.

Defendant Stanley W. Fizer, 62 years of age, a life long resident of Lexington, was, and had been for thirty years, engaged in the plumbing the heating business.  He was the sole proprietor of Stanley Fizer Heating Service.  From 1954 to 1958 he was President and principal shareholder of Better Builders, Inc.  Defendant Bobbie Baum Darnell, 38 years old, was and had been for twenty years employed by the Fizer concern. During the times involved he was also a minority shareholder and the Secretary and Treasurer of Better Builders, Inc.  Defendant D.Y. Dunn, 69 years old, had been engaged in the real estate and building business since about 1950, following his retirement after twenty years as county school superintendent of Fayette County, Kentucky.  At the times involved, he was a shareholder and Terasurer of Fayette Builders, Inc., a house building enterprise.  So far as the record discloses, none of the defendants had any previous criminal record.

5
In 1955, Fayette Builders, Inc., had conveyed three building lots to Better Builders, Inc., in consideration for Better Builders undertaking to construct for Fayette Builders a dwelling on another lot owned by Fayette Builders.  This latter was known as the


Koster (Avenue) house.  Better Builders began construction of the latter house as well as one on one of the lots it had acquired from Fayette Builders.  This latter was known as the Clays Mill (Clays Mill Road) house.  In August of 1955, Better Builders ran into financial difficulties, with the possibility that liens would be imposed by suppliers on one or both of the houses then under construction.  An agreement was thereupon made between Better Builders and Fayette Builders whereby Fayette Builders would assume all the then indebtedness against the Koster house and the Clays Mill Road house.  A mortgage of $9,500.00 with some additional items brought the total indebtedness against the Clays Mill house to $14,500.00.  The correctness of these figuresthe FHA authorities.  There was testimony of some efforts of Dunn and Darnell to sell Darnell's Carneal Avenue home to provide money to make good the $3,500.00 down payment obligation.  Darnell, however, ultimately withdrew from the deal and by his deed another person was substituted as titleholder of the property involved.  The proofs showed that throughout the period following the failure of Darnell to carry out his contract of purchase, and after the transfer of title to the third person, Dunn exercised dominion over the property.  He received rent therefrom and at the trial insisted that he was the owner of the property, but had been unable to obtain a reconveyance from the third party titleholder.  He characterized the title of such third


by Dunn after the deal contemplated by the contract which he signed fell through.  The fact that neither the deal represented by the conditional offer to purchase nor the amended agreement, made after the sought for loan was not granted in full amount, was ever actually carried through is not proof that the offer to purchase accepted by Dunn on September 28, 1958, was not, insofar as he was concerned, genuine.  If Dunn was guilty of indulging in some shabby makeshifts (a question we need not decide) in the months that followed the failure of consummation of the sale contemplated by the offer which he accepted, such conduct is not proof of criminality in his original acceptance of the offer made to him.  If thereDarnell that after the FHA loan had been closed he made the first four payments upon the mortgage.  The district attorney's opening statement to the jury and testimony by prosecution witnesses laid stress upon the charge that Darnell had made no payments on the mortgage loan.  Such evidence was relevant to the government's claim that Darnell never intended to go through with a deal with Dunn or to occupy the Clays Mill property.  Darnell testified that he originally intended to occupy the mortgaged property and make the mortgage payments.  The government's evidence made a sharp and conspicuous issue of whether Darnell had made any such payments.  A government witness, Arnett, was an employee of Franklin Pioneer Corporation.  On cross-examination, counsel for Darnell


the Step Pyramid of Djoser is viewed as the earliest colossal stone building in Egypt as well as one of the earliest large-scale cut stone construction, although the pyramids in Caral, South America are contemporary.

Djoser’s pyramid, although surprising, didn’t last long in ancient Egypt in terms of similar structures being built. In fact, it wasn’t until Sneferu that Egypt was given another pyramid worthy of praise.

Although Sneferu is believed to have built three pyramids; one at Meidum and two at Dahshur, the Bent and Red Pyramid at Dahshur marked another revolutionary step in Pyramid building in Egypt.

The Red Pyramid is widely recognized as the first successful smooth-sided pyramid in ancient Egyptian history, and the structure that laid down the foundations for the construction of Egypt’s greatest and mostimpressive pyramid, the Great Pyramid of Giza which is thought to have been built by Sneferu’s son and heir to the throne Khufu.

Khufu is thought to have commissioned his pyramid not long after taking the throne, and he gave the project to his royal vizier and architect Hemiunu, the man who is believed to have overseen the entire construction process.

The Great Pyramid of Giza marked the peak of ancient pyramid building in Egypt. It was the most sophisticated, precise, accurately aligned pyramid Egypt had ever seen.

The Pyramid was so massive that it remained the tallest manmade structure on the surface of the planet for a period of more than 3,800 years.

Not one pyramid that followed the Great Pyramid would be built so tall, and so massive. The Great


Pyramid of Khufu is believed to have been built with more than 2.3 million blocks of stone, with a total weight of around 6.5 million tons.

The only pyramid that resembles it, in some ways at least, is the pyramid of Khafre, thought to have been built by King Khafre’s successor.

The Wonders of the Great Pyramid

Of all the ancient Egyptian pyramids, the Great Pyramid is the most wonderous. Not only because of its incredible height, total area, or precision, but because of the countless mysteries that surround its construction and design.

How the ancient Egyptians drilled and cut through stone as hard as granite and basalt remain one of the greatest archaeological questions Egyptologists are faced with when looking at the materials the pyramid is built of.

Although we still don’textended to the foot of the wall and joined at the center of the circle. North would be the bisection of the angle of the lines at the center.

However, the ancient Egyptians may also have aligned the pyramids using another technique: the sun.

The Sun sets in equal but opposite angles to true north. Using this method, the ancient builders could have also accurately aligned their structures. Using a pole or gnomon, the builders would set it up using a plumb line in order to make it as vertical as possible.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,382,260, to Dormandy, teaches an embolization device made up of a metal coil with fibers. Each group of fibers has an intermediate portion looped about one central turn of the coil. The ends of the fibers extend interiorly of the coil and outwardly of the coil through the spaces between two adjacent turns that are adjacent the central turn. The ends of the fibers are free to move. The loop serves as the sole means for retaining the group of fibers on the coil.
The ends of the group of fibers extend radially from the coil at the same position. They are said to be spaced extremely close along the longitudinal axis, with multiple fibers bundles spacedinterior fabric.
None of the cited references teaches a device for occluding body lumens or cavities having fibers secured to a substrate with free fiber ends extending outwardly from the occlusion device at radially spaced locations on the substrate when deployed in-vivo where the free ends orient longitudinally in the intra-luminal space when the device is delivered through a delivery sheath and consequently parallel to the friction plane to enhance co-axial delivery.
None of the references teach heating an interface between thrombogenic fibers and vaso-occlusive substrates to cause localized deformation in at least one of said substrate or fibers, securing the fibers to the substrate in a desired orientation for enhanced thrombogenesis and co-axial delivery to distal anatomy.

It has been years that I have waited for this, and truly I let go all desire to do rally or obedience with Perri. It's just not her game. Still, why not? She has the skills, it's a quiet trial. The first sign was a fast pace, ugh. But Perri was overall super happy, tail up! When I cued her moving down she dropped immediately and with sass!

Battie Mixon Fishing Hole

Oldtown was once a bustling C&O Canal supply center. The area from locks 68 through 71 has been restored and re-watered and a wooden covered canal bridge was located at lock 70. It was the scene of several Civil War engagements. At lock 71, a low concrete dam in the canal creates a four-mile fishing area near Oldtown. Constructed in 1945 by a volunteer group of western Maryland sportsmen, Battie Mixon’s Fishing Hole (canal mile 168) is named after the Allegany County Game Warden who conceived of the idea. The fishing pond is well stocked with one pool reserved for children, and it also has an annual fishing rodeo. The site is designated as a “put-and-take” trout fishing pond by the

Yasir Shah may have just "woken up the beast." This is the general sense in the Australian camp after his haughty celebration following Steven Smith's dismissal for the seventh time in last week's first Test in Brisbane.

It's fair to say that Smith was perhaps not at his most focused when he entered the fray, after David Warner, Joe Burns and Marnus Labuschagne had already taken Australia well past Pakistan's first innings.

But he will be very much more so in Adelaide, admitting that Yasir's gesture had undoubtedly raised his competitive ire. The Australians flew into Adelaide on Tuesday and were followed a couple hours later by the visitors, who must win in Australia for the first time since 1995 if they wish to square the series.

"I am motivated, particularlytrademark. Comparisons have been made as to the quirky nature of both Smith and his eager pupil, though the older man was not shy to draw a distinction.

"He's way stranger than I am," Smith said. "I thought he played beautifully. I've been really impressed with the way he went about things in England, the way he prepared, we talked a lot about batting. He's got a good understanding of what he's trying to do, what he's trying to achieve.

"He's been getting a lot of starts since sort of getting into the side. He's got a lot of 60s and 70s. The challenge for him is to turn them into 180 like he did last week. If he's doing that consistently, he's going to be a very, very good

Williams, the Athletic Bilbao striker with a £43m release clause, is one of six players including the Arsenal right-back Héctor Bellerín in La Rojita’s star-studded squad to have already earned full international honours but the 23-year-old may count himself unlucky not to be considered as one of his country’s key players. However, when you can call on the Atlético Madrid midfielder Saúl Ñíguez and Marco Asensio – the new darling of the back-to-back Champions League winners Real Madrid, who scored a hat-trickto tracking the progress of players under the age of 23 around the world. “At this tournament they are up against a lot of players who are still trying to break into the first team at their respective clubs, whereas Spain have several players who already have experience of playing regularly in the Champions League.”

It is not just players from the big clubs. Jorge Meré, a 20-year-old central defender from Sporting Gijón, has been a regular in the under-21s for the past two seasons, while the left-sided midfielder Dani Ceballos has made more than 100 La Liga appearances for Real Betis since his first-team debut in 2014. Marcos Llorente, the 22-year-old holding midfielder, starred for Alavés under coach Mauricio Pellegrino during their run to the Copa del Rey


had the Football Association opted to include Marcus Rashford and Dele Alli in their party, with Nathaniel Chalobah among several who have struggled for gametime for their parent clubs.

The Chelsea midfielder has started only 50 league games in spells at Nottingham Forest, Middlesbrough, Burnley, Reading and Napoli since starring for Watford on loan in the 2012-13 season. Donnohue believes it is a sign of why English players have struggled to make an impact in this tournament since losing in the final in 2009 to a Germany side who featured Mesut Özil and Thomas Müller.

“The Spanish FA have more of an influence over clubs than their English counterparts and you can see that from the number who have been involved with the senior squad,” he says.

        "13.     On October 6, 2015, the Supreme Court entered an order suspending the
respondent's license to practice law for failing to pay the late fee of $100. On October 8,
2015, the Clerk sent the order of suspension to the respondent by certified mail to the
respondent at the respondent's registration address. Prior to the entry of the order of
suspension, the respondent was on notice that such an order would follow if the
respondent did not pay the late fee.

deliver the certified mailing at


4:32 p.m., leaving a notice.

        "15.     On October 14, 2015, prior to 10:48 a.m., the respondent called the Clerk
of the Appellate Courts and spoke with Debbie Uhl. During the conversation, the
respondent stated that he had mailed the registration form and fee in plenty of time to
arrive before August 3, 2015, that he had received the notice regarding the late fee, and
that he did not believe that he owed the latein that case on October 19, 2015. The
respondent did not inform his clients, opposing counsel, or the court that his license to
practice law had been suspended.

        "29.      On October 19, 2015, the respondent met with G.M., E.M., El.M., and a
deputy with the Leavenworth County sheriff's office about the October 20, 2015,
deadline in the writ. Again, the respondent did not inform his clients that his license to
practice law had been suspended.

        "30.      Previously, the court scheduled a hearing in the protection from stalking
cases for October 19, 2015. Prior to the hearing, Mr. Hall saw the respondent at the
courthouse. Later, Mr. Hall memorialized the exchange as

suspended.

        "32.    On October 19, 2015, the court entered orders continuing the protection
from stalking cases to November. In the orders, the respondent is listed as G.M.'s
counsel.

        "33.     During the afternoon hours of October 19, 2015, Ms. Hall emailed the
respondent to set a date for a hearingin the eviction action. In the email, Ms. Hall
proposed several dates, including October 23, 2015. The respondent called Ms. Hall and
agreed to an expedited hearing on October 23, 2015, at 11:00 a.m. The respondent did not
tell Ms. Hall that his license was suspended.

        "34.     At the time his license was suspended to practice law, the respondent
represented G.B. in an appeal from a municipal court conviction, Leavenworth County
District Court case number 2015-CR-573. Previously, the court had scheduled a trial for
October 20, 2015. On October 20, 2015, the respondent sought and obtained opposing
counsel's consent and continued the trial to November, 2015. The respondent did not
inform opposing counsel, the court, or his client that his license to practice law was
suspended.


       "35.     On October 22, 2015, the respondent wrote a check in the amount of
$100 payable to the Clerk of the Appellate Courts. The respondent delivered the check to
the Clerk of the Appellate Courts.

        "36.     On October 22, 2015, the respondent called Ms. Hall and left a message
asking Ms. Hall to call him regarding the eviction case. Ms. Hall replied to the message
by email that same day asking the respondent to draft an agreement.

        "37.     On October 23, 2015, the Leavenworth County District Court
Administrator informed Judge Michael D. Gibbens that the respondent's license to
practice law waswas issued
on October 5th or 6th, 2015; however, it was only after I received the
notice of suspension that I became aware it had actually been issued. As
such, after the order was issued but prior to my notice thereof I
admittedly appeared in state court to represent clients on a handful of
occasions. The first occasion was October 6th, 2015, in Leavenworth
County, . . . The matter concerned a Motion to Determine Child Support
Arrearages which I had filed some months earlier. The hearing merely
consisted of notification to the Court that the parties had reached a
previously negotiated agreement. The second hearing was on October 7
in two related child in need of care cases also in Leavenworth County.
My client did not appear, and the matters were essentially continued until


                                 12
        the month of November. The third matter was another child in need of
        care case held in Johnson County on October 8th, 2015, where I merely
        appeared and indicated my intention to withdraw and was excused by the
        Court. The fourth hearing . . . was held on October 15th and considered a
        temporary protection order which had beenhe would agree to continue the October 28, 2015, hearing scheduled in G.M.'s
case. The respondent explained that he needed the continuance because his daughter was
getting married in Idaho on October 28, 2015. The respondent did not disclose that his
license to practice law was suspended. However, Mr. Henderson had previously learned
that the respondent's license was suspended. Mr. Henderson did not agree to the

                                               13
continuance, because he was concerned that by agreeing to the continuance he would be
aiding the respondent in the unauthorized practice


of law.

        "46.     On October 27, 2015, Kate Baird, deputy disciplinary administrator,
responded to the respondent's letter self-reporting the misconduct. In the letter, Ms. Baird
believing that the respondent has not practiced law after learning of the suspension order,
told the respondent that she would hold the matter and asked the respondent to provide
her with written notification when his license was reinstated.

        "47.     On October 28, 2015, [the] Supreme Court issued an order reinstating the
respondent's license to practice law in Kansas.

        "48.     On November 6, 2015, the respondent notified the disciplinary
administrator that his license had been reinstated. Inprepared and signed prior to the time I
received my notice, but it was received by the Court Clerk and filed the
following Monday and thereafter scheduled by the Court for an
expedited hearing to take place on the 23rd of October. Nevertheless, on
that date I appeared in Court just prior to the time scheduled for the
hearing and notified the Court and Counsel of my administrative
suspension. I had been unable to reach my clients prior to that time who,
I later learned, were actually in the process of relocating from the
residence which was the subject of the action and could not be reached
by telephone. Nevertheless, the matter proceeded to a second default
after I was excused from the Courtroom by the Court.

        'In addition, I received


been emailed to opposing counsel on October 9th, 2015.

        'I found myself caught in a proverbial Catch 22 situation, and I acted as I
        believed was in my client's and not my own best interests at the time.'

        "61.     On October 6, 2015, the Supreme Court issued an order suspending the
respondent's license to practice law. After the Supreme Court suspended the respondent's
license to practice law, the respondent continued to practice law. In addition to the
matters disclosed in his October 23, 2015, self-report letter, the respondent also engaged
in the following unauthorized practice of law:

          between the 9th, 10th, at the
        latest, at the very latest the 13th of October of 2015.

                 'That would coincide with the telephone call that
        I made to the registration office having sent the check
        out, and basically trying to, I guess, kind of intercept it.
        . . . The late fee had been sent, but I was hoping that I
        could avoid negotiating it.'

Either the respondent's statement in his letter that he mailed the check 'the


same
day' as his October 14, 2015, conversation with the attorney registration office
or his statement that he mailed it between October 9, 2015, and October 13,
2015, must be false.

        c.       The respondent's statement that he had 'not appeared in any
further hearings since being notified of the administrative suspension' was also
false, as the respondent appeared in court the same day he forwarded his self-
report letter to the disciplinary administrator's office.

        d.       Finally, despite the date of the respondent's letter, the
respondent failed to disclose his extensive unauthorized practice of law which
occurred October 17, 2015, through October 23, 2015. For example, as later
disclosed in his December     the late fee. Second, Ms. Uhl told the respondent on October 14, 2015, that his
        license was suspended. Third, on October 13, 2015, the United States Postal
        Service attempted to deliver the order of suspension. Finally, on October 17,
        2017, at 9:23 a.m., the respondent signed for the certified mailing which
        contained the order of suspension.

                 b.       The respondent stated that he advised the court that his license to


  with the registration office it would probably be
                 reinstated the following Monday, October 26th, 2015.'

And, 'I would also note that I did notify the Court and counsel of the administrative
suspension on October 23rd, 2015, with the understanding at the time that they were not
aware.' Again, the respondent did not notify Judge Gibbens of the suspension. Rather, at
the outset of the October 23, 2015, hearing, Judge Gibbens informed the respondent that
he had been informed that the respondent's license to practice law was suspended.

        "68.     Accordingly, the hearing panel concludes that the respondent repeatedly
made false statements in his letters to the   was my intention of going in.'

The hearing panel would like to point out that the respondent acknowledged that
he (unintentionally) misrepresented reporting to the court that he was suspended.

                                     30
        The respondent minimized this misrepresentation by stating that he was simply
        mistaken. The appearance before the court occurred on October 23, 2015. In his
        November 6, 2015, supplemental self-report, the respondent stated:


interests of
the legal profession and the citizens of the State of Kansas.

        "87.    The respondent's written communications with the disciplinary
administrator's office, at best contained material misrepresentations of fact and at worst,
were deliberate attempts to hide the truth from the disciplinary administrator's office. By
omitting a large number of relevant facts and by minimizing other facts, the respondent

claimed exceptions in turn.

Did Holmes have actual knowledge of his suspension on October 14, 2015?

       Holmes first asserts that "while he knew or should have known his license would
be suspended for non-payment of the late fee in this matter, he nevertheless was not made
aware of the order of suspension until . . . October 17th, 201[5]." During the hearing, the

                                              36
disciplinary administrator introduced an October 14, 2015, email from Uhl to Jason
Oldham timestamped at


10:48 a.m. The email stated Holmes had just called and was
upset that he owed a late fee because he believed he mailed his registration information in
plenty of time for renewal. The email also indicated Holmes said "he has not received his
suspension notice yet." (Emphasis added.) During the hearing, Uhl testified in situations
such as these, she ordinarily looks up the attorney on the computer to check his or her
status. Although Uhl could not specifically recall if she told Holmes his license was
suspended, she felt "very confident [she] would have," otherwise she would not have
made this statement in the email.

       The evidence before the panel that Uhl affirmatively told Holmes that he was
suspended during the phone call on October 14 was thin. But ultimately,case with his nonappearance
in the Leavenworth County case on the same day. The electronic docket in the Johnson
County case contains the judge's bench notes, which state Holmes appeared with his
client and the case was continued to November 5, 2015. And during oral arguments
before this court, Holmes again argued the panel erred by finding he appeared in

regarding the county. He has confused the two hearings. The record contains clear and

Lecture and book signing with Chief White House correspondent for U.S. News & World Report Kenneth Walsh. Mr. Walsh will be discussing and signing his latest book, Prisoners of the White House: The Isolation of America's Presidents and the Crisis of Leadership.

In Prisoners of the White House, Ken Walsh looks at the isolating environment of the Executive Mansion, a habitat almost guaranteed to keep America’s commander in chief far removed from everyday life. In recent years, West Wing insiders have come up with a name for this syndrome. They call it the White House bubble. As presidents have become more isolated, the role of the presidential pollster has grown. Ken Walsh has been given exclusive access to the polls and confidential memos received by presidents over the years,and has interviewed presidential pollsters directly to gain their unique perspective. Ken Walsh gets inside the bubble and punctures the mythology surrounding the presidency.

Ken Walsh joined U.S. News & World Report in 1984, and has covered the presidency, presidential campaigns, and national politics since 1986. He has served as president of the White House Correspondents’ Association from 1994 to 1995. He has written five books, including Air Force One: A History of the Presidents and Their Planes (2003) and Ronald Reagan, Biography (1997).

In reporting on the presidency, Walsh has traveled to more than 70 countries and covered a wide range of events, including many superpower summits and international conferences. He has conducted numerous interviews over the years with Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George Herbert


HALIFAX -- Audrey Parker has decided to end her life on Thursday.

She has approached it as a political act -- an important public statement about Canada's relatively new assisted dying law.

The 57-year-old Halifax woman says she is thankful the law will allow her to end the excruciating pain caused by cancerous tumours in her bones, but she says the legislation has left her in a terrible bind.

In recent weeks, the platinum-haired former ballroom dance instructor has spoken out -- on social media, in newspapers, on TV -- about how the two-year-old law is forcing her to choose to die sooner than she wants.

"You don't want to die earlier than you have to," she said in a recent interview in her Halifax apartment, where she has waged a veryParker said.

Ottawa should amend the law to give people like her the option of drafting an advance request that would remain in force for 12 months before being renewed, she said.

Jocelyn Downie, a law professor at Dalhousie University in Halifax, said legislating advance requests has already been recommended by a provincial-territorial expert advisory group and a joint committee of the Senate and House of Commons.

As well, the issue will be dealt with in early December, when experts with the Council of Canadian Academies submits three reports to Parliament, one of which will deal specifically with advance requests.

On a frantic last day of business Fulham broke their transfer record with the purchase of Marseille’s André Frank Zambo Anguissa, a deal which took their summer spending over £100m on their return to the Premier League.

Southampton finally sign Danny Ings after Crystal Palace prefer Jordan Ayew Read more

Fulham confirmed the arrival of Anguissa for around £30m having been granted permission by the Premier League to complete the formalities of the move after the 5pm cutoff.

The 22-year-old Cameroon international had undertaken a medical in the south of France earlier in the day. The defensive midfielder agreed a four‑year deal worth £67,000 a week.

Fulham had sought similar extra time to secure the loansignings of Timothy Fosu-Mensah, a versatile defender who spent last season at Crystal Palace, and Luciano Viettothat awaits them when they land. She tries to point out the mission's technical success and the futility of whitewashing their deeds, but Leng then accuses her of gloating at the humiliation he received during the battle against the biotic. Message beeps interrupt their argument, and Leng complains on Cerberus 's impatience.

Minutes later at the Minuteman Station, Miranda Lawson greets the newcomers with a new set of orders for each of them. Rasa is to retrieve her stuff from the shuttle and report to the labs, while Leng is instructed to get back up and allow agent Dawkins to take him to the Illusive Man. Both orders are to be done immediately, so as Rasa tries apologizing to Leng he threatens her instead of dire consequences should they


ever pair up on a mission again.

Rasa learns about the Lazarus Project when she meets with Miranda at the labs. Much of the intel she gathered about Shepard were invaluable to the project, and Miranda allows her to see the ongoing developments: Shepard's backup clone, Shepard's reconstruction, and screens of everything Cerberus has on Shepard. Despite progress on the clone, the Illusive Man still wants the real thing. Miranda wants to make sure Shepard is Shepard by knowing absolutely everything there is to know about the person. To those ends, Miranda reveals to Rasa her part in the project: she is to steal the Commander's classified files from the Spectre offices at the Citadel.

Miranda hands Rasa a disc containing highly-classified but outdated Cerberus secrets. The ploy is togive the disc to the Spectre Tela Vasir , who should grant her sanctuary at the Spectre offices where she could manually download Shepard's files. Rasa poses as a Cerberus defector at the Citadel a few days later, wearing lightened skin and a blonde wig, and approaches Vasir with a demand for her safety in exchange for the data. Vasir acquiesces and leaves her at a Spectre office, taking the disc for verification. Rasa sets to work upon the asari 's departure, but it turns out the Spectre suspected treachery and returns with armed guards.

Vasir sees through Rasa's deceptions and forcibly undoes her disguise. Because the Spectre obtained the Cerberus agent's prints and DNA, one word from her will cripple Rasa's use as an infiltrator. She blackmails Rasa


her before setting her down in a deserted alley. This person is none other than the assassin Thane Krios , who crouches at her with bared knife.

Rasa groggily blurts out that she didn't want to die because she has never lived her life. Thane studies her for a moment and decides to believe her, explaining that it appears he was misinformed of her purpose. He apologizes for her condition and carries her off, praying to Kalahira to give her guidance. Rasa remembers some words people said in her immediate past, and their figures present themselves in her awareness: Leng, Fist, Vasir, Ashley Williams, the original Brooks, Urdnot Wrex, Kaidan Alenko, and Miranda.

A few days later, Rasa arrives at Minuteman Station on a gurney still weakened by the ordeal.She tries to warn Miranda about the virus, who retrieves the disc and urges her to focus on recovery. It takes a few more days for Miranda to extract the data and counteract Vasir's virus, but in the end Rasa completed her mission.

The Illusive Man is pleased with the developments. He supposes that Vasir and her cohorts will have been alerted to Cerberus's interest in Shepard, and reminds Miranda to ensure the Lazarus Project's success. The clone project is allowed to continue in a testing capacity as priority still lies in restoring the real Shepard. In passing he writes off Rasa's near-death experience as troubling, and he agrees with the assessment that the agent's field days are over. He assures Miranda he still has a purpose for Rasa,


The famous Great Wall of China, which was built to keep the China’s horse-riding neighbors at bay, extends more than 2,000 kilometers across China, from Heilongjiang province by Korea to China’s westernmost province of Xinjiang. This lesson will investigate the building of the Great Wall during the Ming Dynasty, and will utilize the story of the wall as a tool for introducing students to one period in the rich history of China.

From the White House of Yesterday to the White House of Today (3 Lessons)

Tools

The Unit

Overview

It is perhaps curious that a republic would permit so opulent a residence for its elected head of state, but a public tally did not make the decision. George Washington approved the White House. His expressed wishes included not only the stone constructionbut extensive stone ornamentation as well.—From the White House Historical Society website, a link from the EDSITEment resource Explore DC

The “President's House,” built under George Washington's personal supervision, was the finest residence in the land and possibly the largest. In a nation of wooden houses, it was built of stone and ornamented with understated stone flourishes. It did not fit everyone's concept for the home of the leader of the young democracy. Abigail Adams found it cold; Thomas Jefferson thought it too big and impractical. He added gardens, a cooking stove, and storage.

Whatever one's opinion of the original design, our nation is now inseparably associated with the White House. There, the essential business of the land is conducted every day. There, our history has been made and reflected.

In


this curriculum unit, students take a close look at the design of the White House and some of the changes it has undergone. They also reflect on how the “President's House” has been and continues to be used.

Guiding Questions

What process was used for choosing the initial design of the White House?

What changes were made to the exterior and why?

How does the White House differ from a presidential home such as Monticello?

How does the present-day White House reflect the duties, powers, and privileges of the office of President?

Learning Objectives

Take a stand on whether the chosen White House design or one simpler or grander would best reflect what our President's house has come to represent.

Discuss some of the changes the White House has undergone in more than two centuries.

Give specificthe Khmer empire, which was based in what is today northwestern Cambodia, began to gather power and territory in mainland Southeast Asia. It would grow to be one of the largest empires in Southeast Asian history. In this lesson, students will learn about Angkor Wat and its place in Cambodian, and Southeast Asian, history. Students will attempt to “read” the temple, in a way which resembles the reading of a primary document, to gain insight into this history.

Leonardo da Vinci—one of history’s most imaginative geniuses—was certainly born at the right time and in the right place. In this lesson plan, the students will explore Leonardo da Vinci and the age in which he lived and consider the meaning of the Greek quotation, “Man is the measure of all

Guiding Questions

How has the White House been touched by the great events of our nation'sA Texas mom was ejected from a public pool by a police officer after she dared breastfeed her son.

Misty Daugereaux was understandably "hurt, embarrassed and ASHAMED" she said on Facebook, and other mothers rallied, staging a "nurse-in" protest at the pool the next day.

Daugereaux went to the Nessler Park Family Aquatic Center in Texas City, Texas last weekend with two 4-year-olds and was attempting to breastfeed her 10-month-old son Maxx, she wrote. A lifeguard told her she couldn't breastfeed at the public pool. The pool manager then told her to cover up or follow the pool rules or leave. Then the Texas City Police Department showed up, she wrote.

What took so long:Finally! In 2018 it's legal to breastfeed in public in all 50 states

animosity':Teacher sues, saying she was fired for taking breaks to pump breast milk

Police body cam video

Things got worse for Daugereaux when the Texas officer showed up. She thought things would get better, she told USA TODAY.

"I thought he was unbiased and came to diffuse the situation," she said.

The Texas City Police Department posted body camera video taken of the pool incident on Facebook.

On the five-minute video, the officer hears from the pool manager who says Daugereaux "was getting outraged" and "cussing" at the lifeguard who told her to cover up.

Daugereaux says this is "absolutely not" not true and added that, "I have a right to feed my baby."

"I don't stand for a lot, but I will stand for that," she explained to the officer in the video. "I'msaid and gathered up her things.

Both the manager and the officer made a parting comment after Daugereaux left.

"I thought you're supposed to cover up," the manager said. "I know people breastfeed and stuff but--"

"That's all fine and dandy, but just sit in a chair and cover up," the officer said. "Don't sit there with both your (expletive) out."

That hurt the worst, said Daugereaux, who has watched the video.

"I’m completely appalled and heartbroken at the comment the officer made to the manager," Daugereaux said. "But I’m ashamed he doesn’t know the law he is honored to uphold. And the word he used to refer to breast is unsettling."

The city apologizes

Texas City responded to the breastfeeding pool incident with an apology the next day.

History professor to speak about African American emancipation

A University of North Carolina distinguished professor of American history will visit ISU Feb. 10 to discuss the ramifications of emancipating and arming African Americans during the Civil War.

Professor John David Smith - an expert on the American South, the Civil War, and African American slavery and emancipation - will visit ISU in conjunction with Black History Month.

His lecture, titled "Keeping Your Promises? Abraham Lincoln, Emancipation, and the U.S. Colored Troops," will examine Lincoln's role in shaping the events that led to the involvement of African Americans in the Civil War.

Smith maintains that Lincoln was not merely reacting to events, but that he set about to make emancipation palatable to white northerners, especially residents of the loyal borderstates.

Smith has lectured in 11 countries, serves on the editorial boards of several journals - including "The Journal of Southern History" - and has authored, edited, or co-edited 20 books. He is also a former Fulbright scholar.

Smith will speak Feb. 10 at 7 p.m. in the Events Area of Cunningham Memorial Library. Admission is free and open to the public.

Writer: Rachel Wedding McClelland, assistant director of media relations, Communications and Marketing, Indiana State University at 812-237-3790 or rachel.mcclelland@indstate.edu.

Last week, Reserve
Bank of India (RBI) governor Urjit Patel appeared before the
parliamentary standing committee on finance for a second time
this year. But even on this occasion, Patel expressed his
inability to apprise the committee of the total value of old
notes that have returned to the central bank after the massive
currency swap exercise undertaken last year. There is a great
yearning among people in general, and not just the members of
the parliamentary committee, to find out this information
because almost everyone in the country was involved in the
currency swap exercise. But the public could not watch the
proceedings of Patel’s testimony before the committee; one had
to rely on source-based media reports.

In contrast, the testimony of James Comey, the former Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI) director who was fired by US
President Donald Trump, before theSenate intelligence committee
was watched live by people across the world. Portions of his
testimony were carried live by some TV channels even in India.
After all, the drama of the investigation into Russian links
with the Trump presidential campaign—the episode which formed
the context of Comey’s firing—made for sensational viewing. A
few years ago, the grilling of media tycoon Rupert Murdoch and
his son James Murdoch by a British parliamentary committee had
an audience across the globe, including in India. Certainly, a
much bigger audience was interested in Patel’s testimony before
the parliamentary committee.

It is important, at this point, to make a distinction between
regular deliberations of the parliamentary committees and
testimonies of important public officials before these
committees. There is a reasonable argument against broadcasting,
or even providing physical access to the public to regular
meetings of the committee. Away from


the gaze of the camera, the
members can exchange their frank opinions without being tempted
to indulge in public posturing. But there is a genuine case—as
has been previously argued by Chakshu Roy of PRS Legislative
Research (goo.gl/GyDQoA)—for mounting some cameras in the room
for testimonials. The process of taking evidence by the select
committees in the UK—from where India derives its parliamentary
system—is open to the public with very few exceptions.

Beyond the testimonials, there is enough room to push for more
transparency even in regular committee meetings. The UK
parliament keeps some of its select committee meetings open to
the public and publishes a calendar of such meetings in advance.
The meetings of both the Senate and the House of Representatives
in the US are open to public except in a few circumstances when
the matter being discussed requires confidentialityThe Catholic Diocese of Cleveland is the latest to announce that it will publiclize the names of priests removed because of sex abuse allegations. It's the fourth of six Ohio dioceses to make that decision in the wake of revelations from a Grand Jury report that named names in Pennsylvania. The sex abuse scandal has been roiling for years. Is the church finally becoming transparent about the problem? We're joined by Dr. Doris Donnelly, author and theology professor.

FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Authorities say a man who pleaded guilty to a hate crime for vandalizing a Colorado mosque has killed himself. The Coloradoan reported Monday that 36-year-old Joseph Giaquinto took his own life Saturday.

His death came two days after he was sentenced to three years in wellness court and six months of work release for throwing rocks and a Bible through the windows of the Islamic Center of Fort Collins.

Prosecutors said the former Army medic's actions escalated to a hate crime because they were deliberate.

His lawyer Heather Siegel said the act was a crime of location since he lived near the mosque. She said he was drunk andMain menu

Alfa Romeo future products: 4C, Giulia lead return to U.S. market

August 8, 2011

The Alfa Romeo 4C has a carbon-fiber body and a 250-hp engine.

Sergio Marchionne, CEO of Fiat and Chrysler Group, says Alfa Romeo will return to the United States in late 2012. But if he makes the deadline, just a few units of the 4C limited-edition coupe would be on sale.

Alfa's full return is now planned in mid-2013, about a half-year later than Marchionne's most recent timetable, with a compact crossover. A crucial mid-sized sedan, the Giulia, will follow, by the end of 2013 at the earliest.

Technically, Alfa is in the United States: It sold a few of limited-edition 8C models at Maserati dealerships.

Marchionne's original plan called for North America to account for 85,000 of Alfa's


500,000 sales by 2014. That target looks doubtful in part because of delays in the redesign of the Giulia sedan and delays to larger vehicles. Last year Alfa sold 112,000 vehicles globally.

Subcompact: The car originally was intended as a five-door variant of the Europe-only three-door MiTo (pronounced Me-To). It is now expected to be a new model, which could be imported to North America from Italy beginning in 2013.

4C: Marchionne calls it "the first Alfa Romeo car to re-enter the U.S. market." His wish is to respect the end-of-2012 deadline, but the first units could be shipped to U.S. dealers in early 2013.

The 4C is a "baby" 8C, with a carbon-fiber body and a 250-hp, turbocharged, 1.8-liter direct-injection gasoline inline four-cylinder engine driving the rear wheels.

Alfa plans atotal production of about 5,000 units a year of the 4C two-seat coupe, whose target price is below 40,000 euros (about $57,000) in Europe. The 4C will go on sale in Europe at the end of 2012 under current plans.

Giulietta: Alfa's compact hatchback would come to North America when it's refreshed in 2013. The Giulietta, launched in Europe in July 2010, was the first vehicle on Fiat's new Compact platform. Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and some Alfa models will use a longer, wider version of the platform, called CUSW, for Compact U.S. Wide.

Giulia: In the past 18 months, Marchionne first approved but then killed three styling proposals for the mid-sized Giulia sedan. The styling work is still far from a design freeze, thus the Giulia sedan would debut at


the end of 2013 at the earliest. The wagon likely would come in 2014.

The Giulia sedan and wagon are set to be built in the United States and exported to Europe. They will replace the slow-selling 159 sedan and Sportwagon models, which Alfa discontinued at the end of May.

The two Giulias, which are based on the CUSW platform, will have transverse engines and front- or all-wheel drive.

Roadster: Alfa is still considering a two-seat roadster to go into production in 2013. The company has yet to choose a platform and factory for the car. One option is Chrysler's LX rear-drive platform, used for the Chrysler 300, and the Brampton, Ontario, assembly plant.

Compact crossover: At the end of 2012, Fiat will begin building a compact crossover for Alfa based onthe CUSW platform at its Mirafiori plant in Turin. Shipments to the United States are expected to begin in the spring of 2013.

Mid-sized SUV: Fiat seems to have abandoned a plan to develop an Alfa sibling with the replacement for the Jeep Liberty. Also killed was an Alfa sibling of the Jeep Grand Cherokee large SUV.

Large sedan: Marchionne's most recent Alfa product plan calls for a large sedan that Chrysler could build in the United States using a stretched variant of the CUSW compact platform. The model could appear in 2014.


Franco's International Brigade

Adventurers, Fascists, and Christian Crusaders in the Spanish Civil War

Christopher Othen

Description

Foreign volunteers fought on behalf of General Franco and the Nationalists in the Spanish Civil War for a right-wing cause whose aim was to smash democracy. These assorted adventurers, fascists, and Catholic crusaders were on the winning side, but their role has remained strangely hidden until now. Men from Portugal and Morocco signed on for money and adventure. General Eoin O'Duffy organised 700 Irishmen in a modern Crusade; 500 Catholic Frenchmen fought in the "Jeanne D'Arc" unit; and thirty British volunteers, including aristocrats and working-class fascists, also took up arms. Romanian Iron Guard extremists died at Majadahonda and an Indian volunteer fought in the fascist militia. There were Russians, Americans, Finns, Belgians, Greeks, Cubans, and manymore. Goose-stepping alongside the volunteers were fascist conscripts from Germany and Italy, in training for the next world war. Foreigners, whether unknown individuals like British pilot Cecil Bebb or infamous figures like the German dictator Adolf Hitler, were essential to Franco's victory. Without Bebb--who flew General Francisco Franco from the Canary Islands to Spanish Morocco in 1936, a journey which was to precipitate the onset of the Spanish Civil War--the war would never have started; without Hitler, Franco would never have won.

Reviews and Awards

"This is a highly readable, engaging work that plugs a major gap in the literature on the Spanish Civil War, approaching the topic from an original angle--that of the foreign volunteers who fought on the side of Franco and the Nationalists. It systematically covers all thevolunteers from each foreign country and, in the process, elaborates on the wider historical context, both in the countries in question and in Spain itself. It thereby sets the Nationalist cause in Spain in a wider context of conservative, Catholic and fascist currents in Europe and the world, explaining the importance of the conflict in the thinking and perception of members of such currents."--Dr. Marko Hoare, Kingston University

"An entertaining read which draws on many hitherto unexplored books, newspaper articles and personal sources, Franco's International Brigades offers an intriguing insight into a ragbag of extreme right-wingers, adventurers and misfits."--Michael Alpert, author of A New International History of the Spanish Civil War

President-elect Donald Trump speaks during a news conference in the lobby of Trump Tower in New York, Wednesday, Jan. 11. | AP Photo Trump says would be 'tremendous blot' on intelligence community if they leaked allegations

Donald Trump began his long-awaited press conference Wednesday morning by slamming reports that intelligence officials last week presented him with a summary of unverified allegations that Russia has compromising information on him, warning that it would be a “tremendous blot” on the record of the intelligence community if an official leaked those allegations.

The press conference was originally intended to give Trump a platform from which to outline how he will separate his incoming administration from his significant business holdings. But Trump felt compelled to first address the reports from CNN and BuzzFeed, andJudge:

Because its streets had not been designed to handle the mass movement of motorized vehicles, Rochester, N. Y., like many other older cities, was ill-prepared for the advent of the automobile.  More than thirty years ago, State, County and City officials set out to create a system of arterial expressways to solve, in part at least, the serious traffic problem existing in the City and its adjoining towns.  Their efforts culminated in a plan for an "inner" expressway loop around the downtown Rochester area and an "outer" loop around the City's perimeter.  Construction of the inner loop has been completed.  We are concerned on this appeal with the State's efforts to complete the outer loop.1

2
This loop, as it presently exists, encircles the City on


the east, north and west sides and the easterly portion of the south side.2 There is, however, a four-mile gap in the westerly portion of the south side.  Athwart this gap sits an 842 acre public park known as Genesee Valley Park.  In 1967, the New York State Department of Public Works sought the approval of the United States Bureau of Public Roads (now the Federal Highway Administration) for construction of a roadway viaduct over a portion of this park.  Approval was granted in 1968.  In 1970, the State submitted additional documentation for purposes of compliance with § 4(f) of the United States Department of Transportation Act of 1966 as amended. 49 U.S.C. § 1653(f).3 This submission was approved by the Secretary of Transportationthe park is Scottsville Road, which runs parallel to the river.  To the south and east are the towns of Brighton and Henrietta.  Residential Rochester is primarily to the northeast, and the park is bordered on the northeast side by Elmwood Avenue, which begins at the end of Scottsville Road at the northwest corner of the park and runs generally east.

12
The Barge Canal runs generally east and west through the town of Brighton, cuts through the park near its northeast end, and then swings to the north along the City's western boundary.  The western portion of the outer loop, constructed between 1963 and 1965, runs parallel to the canal between the airport and the City and ends at Scottsville Road near the canal bridge.
