he was honorably received and given 200 ecus, besides the 100 ecus he had received on going forth. In 1553 Pare was captured by the enemy when the town of Hesdin fell into their hands. He had been sent to Hesdin by the King. The French made a des- perate defense but were finally obliged to capitulate. Pare, addressing mon petit maistre, says that if he had been there he would have lacked charcoal to heat his hot irons and would have been killed hke a calf (comma un veau) for his cruelty if he had attempted to use 50 AMBROISE PARE them. Also he would have lacked the jellies and dain- ties which he was wont to feed his patients. At the council of the officers Parehe had done for it, they all agreed with him in his unfavorable prognosis but stated in their opinion he had been well dressed and cared for. At this conjuncture a Spanish impostor came forward and avowed that he could cure de Martigues, if he was given entire charge of him. The Duke of Savoy gave orders that no physician or surgeon should interfere with the Spaniard, and Pare was forbidden on pain of death to go near him. This rejoiced Pare because he feared that when de Martigues should die the Spaniards would blame him and kill him. The Spaniard's treat- ment consisted in spells, and in permitting the wounded man to eat and drink whatever he pleased, while the Spaniard dieted himself rigorously. The patient died


the Duke of Savoy himself, when that Prince, having been told by the Emperor's physician of Pare's skill, sent to ask him to enter his service. Pare sent back his thanks but stated that he would never serve a stranger. The Duke of Savoy was very angry and said the surgeon deserved to be sent to the galleys. Subsequently Monsieur de Vaudeville asked the Duke of Savoy to send Pare to him to see if he could cure a leg ulcer from which he had suffered for six or seven years. Savoy sent him and de Vaudeville promised to set him free if he succeeded in curing him. This Pare did and thereby secured his freedom. Pare hastened to King Henri II. The King received him gladly, gavehim 200 ecus and told him that when he had heard of his capture he had sent word to his wife that she need not be unhappy that he would pay his ransom. CHAPTER IV I" IN 1554, when he was forty-four years old, Pare was made a member of the College de Saint Come, and thereby be- 1 came a master surgeon, a surgeon of the long robe, instead of a barber-surgeon. The surgeons of Paris were anxious to number among themselves a^man of such prominence and weight at Court. Pare knew no Latin and his examination for admission was so conducted as to render it a farce. He was given his letter of reception to the mastership without being re- quired to pay the customary fees.


Twenty-three years later, in 1577, Jean Riolan, professor of anatomy at Paris, wrote a pamphlet in which he ridiculed the man- ner in which Pare had been received into the College of Surgeons. However that may be, the surgeons cer- tainly showed much practical wisdom in thus serving him because it was probably due to Pare's influence that the Faculte de Medecine attempted no more in- terference with their affairs throughout the reign of Pare's firm friend and patron Henri II. Pare's elevation to membership in the College de Saint Come furnishes an interesting chapter in the his- 53 54 AMBROISE PARE tory of the controversy by which the Confrerie de Saint Come succeeded in elevating itself to the rank of a college, securing thereby the privileges accruingto its affiliation with the Universite de France on an equal basis with the Faculte de Medecine. The chief factor in bringing about this improvement in the condition of the French surgeons was one Etienne de la Riviere, a native of Paris, and a warm friend of Fare's, who was one of the witnesses on his part at his first marriage, and was also associated with him in many other af- fairs both professional and social. La Riviere began his professional career as a barber-surgeon. He worked as prosector for the anatomical demonstrations given by Charles Etienne, a physician belonging to the Faculte de Medecine. In 1539 Charles Etienne an- nounced his intention of publishing a book on anatomy based on these demonstrations for which Etienne de la


Riviere had made the dissections. The latter claimed recognition of his share in the work and laid his claims before the Parliament of Paris. After an investigation by a commission composed of physi- cians and surgeons, the Parliament acknowledged, in 1541, the justice of the claim. The Confrerie de Saint Come was so glad of a victory won over its opponents of the Faculte de Medecine that it proceeded to make the barber-surgeon de la Riviere a member of its august self. Thus when the book was finally published in yCR IMPROBVS OMNIA VINCITT * Ambroise Pare, at the Age of FoRXY-nvE. (^Anatomie Uiwoerselle, 1561.) LIFE AND TIMES 57 1545, Etienne de la Riviere figures as its author, with the proud title of surgeon, instead of barber, appendedto his name. La Riviere became surgeon to the King, and sworn surgeon to the Chatelet. Throughout his career he lost no opportunity to advance the affairs of the College de Saint Come, and it was largely at his instigation and by his influence that Pare was brought into its fellowship. Thus through its wisdom or policy the College de Saint Come drew from the despised bar- bers two members who not only did much to advance its own interests, but also its standing in the world as the exponent of French surgery. Pare passed several years in Paris, working hard at anatomy in preparation for a new edition of his book. In 1557 the French army was defeated by the Span- iards in the battle of St.


Quentin. The Constable, Anne de JNIontmorency, was wounded and taken pris- oner. Henri II wished to send Pare to treat him but the Duke of Savoy remembered him from the days of Hesdin and refused to allow him access to the Spanish camp, saying that there were plenty of surgeons to look after the Constable, and that he knew Pare was privy to other things than surgery and therefore might con- vey information. Pare stayed at La Fere, whither the French had retreated, and there dressed many of the . wounded in the battle. In 1558 he was sent by the King to Dourlan 58 AMBROISE PARE (Doullens) which was being besieged by the Spaniards. Pare changed places with his man servant and disguised as a menial finallysucceeded in entering the town. In 1559 Pare met with a great loss by the death of his master and steadfast friend Henri II, who was wounded June 29, 1559. The fatal lance blow was accidentally given during a tournament by Gabriel de Montgomery, Comte de Lorges, captain of the Scotch guard, who had been persuaded against his will to enter the lists with the King. Pare was one of the surgeons in attendance on the King and Vesalius was sent for from Brussels. The King lived eleven days. The sur- geons could not find the lance splinters which had pene- trated the King's brain although they secured the heads of four criminals that had been beheaded and experi- mented upon them with a lance in order to


ascertain the probable course of the splinters. The lance struck the king above the right eye. Pare says, "the muscular skin of the forehead, over the bone, was torn across to the inner angle of the left eye, and there were many little fragments or splinters of the broken shaft lodged in the eye ; but no fracture of the bone. Yet because of such commotion or shaking of the brain, he died on the eleventh day after he was struck. And after his death, they found on the side opposite to the blow, towards the middle of the commissure of the occipital bone, a quan- tity of blood effused between the dura mater and the Gabriel de Lorqif.s. Comte de Montgomery, Arrayed FOR THE ToURXAMEXT Henri IIReceiving His Fatal Wound in the Joust with Montgomery. LIFE AND TIMES 61 pia mater : and alterations in the substance of the brain, which was of a brownish or yellowish colour for about the extent of one's thumb: at which place was found a beginning of corruption: which were causes enough of the death of my lord, and not only the harm done to his eye." Henri's successor, Francois II, retained Pare in his position of chimrgien ordinaire du Roi. This prince reigned but eighteen months. He was the husband of Mary Queen of the Scots; had his life been preserved her fate would probably have been very different. There is a vague tradition that the young Queen was a friend of Fare's and frequently conversed with


him. Balzac in his "Catherine de Medici" gives a vivid though entirely imaginative picture of the deathbed of Fran9ois II, in which he makes it appear that Ambroise Fare wished to trephine the King and thought thereby he could save his life. According to the tale Catherine de Medici backed up by three court physicians refused to allow him to perform the operation, as she wished the young King, her own son, to die. Knowing that he was completely under the influence of the Guises the Queen hoped to regain her power by acting as regent for her other son, Charles, who would succeed to the throne. Francois II died on the fifth of December, 1560, at Orleans. Fare was brought into unenviable promi- 62 AMBROISE PARE nenceby his death. Malgaigne quotes the following re- lation from an anonj^mous life of Admiral Coligny, published in 1686, apparently based on family records. It will be recalled that the Guises were at this time all powerful in France. The Queen was their niece. They had arrested Conde, the leader of the Huguenots, and were seeking his death by legal forms. When it was least thought of, the king suddenly felt a great pain in his head, which obliged him to put himself to bed. One would have thought that the trial of the Prince de Conde would have been deferred, but the Guises, seeing how things would change if they lost their hold of the Prince, hastened the judgment against him so that he was condemned to


lose his head. When the Admiral (Coligny) heard of this order, he sent for Ambroise Pare, surgeon of the king, under the pretext that he was sick, and as he was one of his friends, and he knew that he professed secretly the same religion, and demanded of him in confidence what he thought of the illness of the king. Pare told him that he thought he was in great peril, but that he had not dared to say so because he feared making harm at court. On which the Admiral told him he had done very wrong, because he would have prevented the judgment of the Prince de Conde, that he should go and publish this news, otherwise their religion would lose the most firm support thatit had. Pare promised to repair his fault, which he did at once. All the court was surprised, which had believed to the contrary that the illness was nothing, especially because it had begun to suppurate by the ear, that which made them think that na- ture discharged itself there. The Chancellor, hearing the news, Portrait of Francois ii LIFE AND TIMES 63 sent for Pare to know if it was true, and he having confirmed it, the other became ill from fear of signing the order. This feigned illness lasted until one saw that the condition of the king was desperate. Then he talked in a different manner to the Queen Mother (Catherine de Medici), saying that the Guises commenced to hold them in contempt, and urged


her to unite with the princes of the blood. She was disposed to be- lieve this. Pare, having told this to the Admiral, whom he continued to see whenever he did not have to be with the king, the Admiral charged him with the negotiation. Meanwhile the king died a few days later and the intrigues during his illness made everyone believe his days had been hastened. They suspected Pare of having put poison in his ear when he dressed him, by order of the Queen Mother, who s&w no other means of assuring her authority. As Malgaigne says this suspicion does not warrant attention. It is given the he by many circumstances besides the character of Pare. Charles IX, Francois* successor, again appointed him chirurgien ordinaire duFare's exploit. Charles IX had been presented with a bezoar stone. These so-called stones are concretions which are found in the intestinal tracts of certain animals. In- troduced into medicine by the Arabs, they were held in great esteem as universal antidotes. Charles IX was very proud of his bezoar stone. He spoke of it to Pare who told him that there was no such thing as a universal antidote. Pare suggested that its efficacy could easily be tested on some rascal who had been sentenced to be hung. The king sent for his pro- vost and asked him if he had any prisoner who merited hanging. "He told him that he had in his prison a cook, who had stolen two silver plates from his master, and


that the next day was to be hung and strangled. The King told him he wished to experiment with a stone which they said was good against all poisons, and that he should ask the said cook after his condemnation if he would take a certain poison, and that they would at once give him an antidote; to which the said cook very willingly agreed, saying that he liked much better to die of said poison in the prison, than to be strangled in view of the people. And then an apothecary gave him a certain poison in a drink and at once the bezoar LIFE AND TIMES 65 stone. Having these two good drugs in his stomach he took to vomiting and purging, saying that he wasburn- ing inside, and calling for water to drink, which was not denied him. An hour later, having been told that the cook had taken this good drug, I prayed Monsieur de la Trousse (the provost) to let me to see him, which he accorded, accompanied by three of his archers, and found the poor cook on all fours, going like an animal, his tongue hanging from his mouth, his eyes and face flaming, retching and in a cold sweat, bleeding from his ears, nose and mouth. I made him drink about one half sextier of oil, thinking to aid him and save his life, but it was no use because it was too late, and he died miserably, crying it would have been better to have died


as Malgaigne states, Pare's book was long esteemed as a textbook of anatomy for surgeons. ''Ann. Med. Hut., i, 424. 66 AMBROISE PARE of the "Anatomic Universelle" which he had procured in Paris. As he states the book is so rare that JMalgaigne knew of but two copies, one in the Bibhotheque Sainte Genevieve, the other in private hands in Bar-le-Duc. Neither the Library of the Surgeon General in Wash- ington, the British Museum, nor the Bodleian Library has a copy of this book. It is accompanied by a copper plate engravmg of a portrait of the author, at the age of forty-five, which Sir William thought was by far the most pleasing which has descended to us. In the same year, 1561, Pare had his leg brokenby the kick of a horse, which confined him to bed for sev- eral months. He describes his accident and the treat- ment of it at length in his book on fractures. He was making a professional call on horseback, as was his custom, in company with Richard Hubert and Antoine Portail, to a small village near Paris. In attempting to make the horse get on the boat to cross the ferry, Pare switched him, whereupon the horse kicked him upon his leg, causing a compound fracture of both bones. Portail and Hubert set his leg and applied the first dressing. He prayed them to forget their old friendship and treat his leg just as they would that of an ordinary patient. Hubert and Portail were barber- surgeons.


to master surgeons. By 1562 Pare was again fit to undertake his jour- neys and he accompanied Charles IX to the sieges of Bourges and Rouen. At the latter the mortality among the wounded from infection was very great. Pare attributed it to the malignity of the air. Among those who died was the King of Navarre, Pare's good friend. He was one of the surgeons who dressed the King's wound, and the latter bequeathed him six thousand livres. The surgeons had been unable to ex- tract the ball from the wound which was in the shoulder. Pare performed an autopsy, and in the presence of many witnesses removed the ball from the middle of the bone, where he had said it was lodged. This siege of Rouenmarks another epoch in Pare's surgical experiences for from this time he found the use of the oil made from puppies as a dressing for gun- shot wounds did not give as good results as the dressing of the wounds with Egyptiacum, a preparation made with honey and alum, much commended by John of Vigo. Later he used a dressing of turpentine and •He was related to Pard through his marriage with Jacqueline de Prime. 70 AMBROISE PARE brandy. The campaign of 1562 was the first in which we find Pare accompanying the Royal army in its cam- paign against the Huguenots. Conde and Fare's friend CoHgny were the active leaders of the party upon which Charles IX was waging war. After the victory won by the Royalists


at Dreux, in December 1562, Pare dressed many of the wounded. Conde was taken pris- oner by the Royalists, but the Huguenots captured Anne de Montmorenci. The Peace of Amboise was signed shortly after the murder of Guise in 1563. The year 1564 witnessed the publication of Pare's surgery.® It will be noticed that the author now bears the title, premier chirurgien du Roi. He took the oath as first surgeon to the King at Saint-Germain-en-Laye on January 1, 1562, succeeding the deceased Nicole Lavernot. In 1564, Pare started with Charles IX, the Queen Regent (Catherine de Medici) and the entire court on a royal progress through France. This journey lasted nearly two years and was undertaken as a political cam- paign against the Huguenots. In its courseof his first finger. Pare tied the finger around tightly above the wound, then moistened some old theriac ointment in brandy, and soaking some cot- ton in it applied it over the wound. He experienced no ill-effects. He had an opportunity to study the plague, from which he himself once suffered an attack, and of which his observations and experiences enabled him to write an excellent treatise. At Biarritz he learned how the inhabitants caught whales, and procured a whale's vertebrfe which he treasured as a curiosity. When the Court returned to Paris the city was in the throes of an epidemic of smallpox. Pare, although a surgeon, treated many cases. Many of the nobility suffered from the disease, among them Charles IX and his sister Marguerite de


Valois, who married Henri of Navarre. Pare treated Charles IX for a contracture of the arm which followed a venesection said to have been made by Antoine Portail during the king's attack of smallpox. Portail had wounded a nerve. "The king remained three months and more without power to flex or extend his arm; nevertheless (graces a Dieu) he re- covered without the slightest impairment of motion."*® " MaJgaigne's edition of Par6, ii, 115. T CHAPTER V HE religious wars broke out again and once more Pare was busy with the armies. After the battle of St. Denis, in 1567, he dressed many of the wounded, most of whom were removed to Paris. The Constable, Anne de Montmorenci, had received a fatal pistol shot wound in the spine.Pare was sent by the king to attend him at the request of Madame de Mont- morenci. The surgeon was at Plessis le Tours with the Court in 1569, when news was brought that the Royal army had won the battle of Moncontour. Many of the wounded were brought to Tours where Pare and other surgeons dressed them. The Count of Mansfield, who had fought valiantly for the King, received a bad shot wound of the elbow. He was taken to Borgueil, from whence he sent to the King requesting him to send one of his surgeons to his aid. The Mareschal de Montmorenci told the King and the Queen INIother that as Mansfield had done so much to secure the victory, they should send Pare to dress


him, but the King flatly refused, saying that he did not wish Pare to go from him. Catherine de Medici, however, explained to Charles that Pare 74 LIFE AND TIMES 75 would but go and come right back, and that as the Count of Mansfield was a foreigner who had come to their aid, having been sent with the Spanish troops by command of the King of Spain, they should do their best for him. Charles finally consented and Pare was sent to the Count with a letter from the King and Queen Mother. At Borgueil Pare found many other wounded noblemen whom he dressed. The Count Rhin- grave died of a wound similar to that which killed the King of Navarre at Rouen; Monsieur de Bassompierre waswounded in the same manner as the Count of Mans- field, "whom I dressed and God healed him" (que je pensay et Dieu la guarist) . "God blessed so well my work, that in three weeks I sent him to Paris, where it was yet necessary to make some incisions in the arm of the Count of Mansfield, to extract the bone which was greatly spHntered, broken and carious. He recovered by the Grace of God and made me a worthy present, of a sort that I was well contented with him and he with me. Mansfield wrote to Monsieur le Due d'Arschot tell- ing him how well Pare had treated him, with the result that the Due d'Arschot sent one of his gentlemen to the King to


beseech him to send Pare to see what he could do for his brother, the Marquis d'Auret, who was lying at the Chateau d'Auret, near Mons, suffering from a gunshot wound of the leg, received seven months pre- 76 AMBROISE PARE viously and still unhealed. The King consented to send Pare who thereupon set out for d'Auret. He gives a lengthy description of his management of the case, which occupied him two months, during which he stayed at the chateau with the Marquis. The result was fortunate for both Marquis and surgeon. The former recovered entirely. Pare was feted and made much of. At part- ing Madame la Duchesse d'Arschot drew a diamond ring, worth more than fifty ecus, from her finger, and presented it to him, andto this effect, and he in turn referred the matter to the Faculte de Medecine, ordering them to consult with some of the surgeons and give him their advice. Fare's request was that he as LIFE AND TIMES 77 premier surgeon should be placed over all those prac- ticing surgery, and that no one should be allowed to practice that profession in France without his authori- zation or the authorization of certain persons to be . named by him, with whom should be associated two physicians. This last promise was obviously intended as a sop to the Faculte de Medecine. Pare had already secured the assent of the physicians to the King, but Camusat, the premier barber-surgeon and the sworn sur- geons were quick to take alarm. Such


a strong oppo- sition was developed that Fare's project was defeated. As Le Paulmier states it remained for Felix Fagon, premier surgeon to Louis XIV, to finally free the sur- geons from their subjection to the premier barber-sur- geon of the King. After 1559 Pare no longer followed the armies but lived and labored in Paris, the city for which he ex- presses his love in so many places throughout his works. He seems to have passed all his life in Paris in the house or houses which he owned near the Pont Saint Michel. Here he gathered around him various relatives. Most of thme a bit more.'

In addition, Brooks acknowledged that "I have been advised of the nature of the charge against me, the maximum punishment therefor, and acknowledge receipt of a copy of the accusation in said case." However, apparently facing prison time as a recidivist regardless of plea or trial, Brooks withdrew his guilty plea and opted for trial.
At trial, Brooks had the aid of defense attorney Wayne Lambert through, at minimum, voir dire and jury selection. On the record, Lambert took an active role, including informing the trial court that he and Brooks had no follow-up voirhis direct examination, testified that he had no personal knowledge of what occurred, did not remember the incident, and was only relating what the victim had told him. He testified that the victim had marks on her neck that she claimed had been made when Brooks choked her. The only other defense witness testified that the marks on the victim's neck were "passion" marks that he had seen on her the day before the incident.
In toto, the trial comprised 40 pages of transcript, including opening, closing, the charge of the court, and the verdict. The jury believed the victim. As much as we may value our profession, there is absolutely nothing in the record to indicate that, if Brooks had been represented by a lawyer, the outcome would

Nor does it show that this notation was made by or in the presence of the trial court. Finally, this form was never signed by Brooks.
The majority points to another form titled "Record of Plea" that was also signed by Brooks on January 19, 1999. It omits the fact that because Brooks did not go through with the guilty plea, the trial court never signed the following portion ofand a second may face the same fate in the coming weeks. City of Langford workers welded a steel grate over the entrance to Langford Lake Cave in February 2008 and then dumped several tons of boulders onto the grate. Dozens of culturally modified trees were cut down around the cave, which a Songhees Nation elder has named as a place of cultural significance. The interchange route will apparently intersect the 80-meter-long cavern, and blasting could begin at any time.

Garry oak ecosystems - the rarest forests in BC - have been mowed down and bulldozed, destroying the oaks, camas flower meadows, and related plant life on the rocky bluffs and plateaus of Skirt Mountain. The City of Langford maintains that protection plans and studies on rare mammals, amphibians,


and reptiles in the area are not needed. Ponds and wetlands on and around the mountain are home to pacific tree frogs, red-legged frogs, great horned owls, screech owls, pileated woodpeckers, and dozens of other species that deserve protection.

Meanwhile, Langford city council has maneuvered to shut voters out of the approval process on a $25 million loan to finance the interchange. This comes after the city refused to dialogue or consult with concerned citizens and groups who requested meetings, sent letters, and made submissions to council for over two years. More than two thousand residents signed a petition in January urging council to reconsider the borrowing bylaws, and still the city refuses to acknowledge the issue. The province has likewise turned a deaf ear to voters while kickingin $5 million and leaving taxpayers on the hook for the rest of the bill if the developers default. A persistent aura of corruption and conflict of interest hangs over the project, which is aggressively promoted by Langford councillors.

Those who oppose the development face a level of retaliation rarely seen in North America. A small peace camp set up in the path of the interchange was evicted in February by dozens of heavily armed RCMP officers pointing assault rifles. Over a hundred officers patrolled a kilometer-wide exclusion zone near the Trans-Canada highway for three days while feller-bunchers clearcut the forest. Shortly after, Langford mayor Stewart Young declared he would try to recover the cost of the police operation by suing the campers. On February 29, project manager Les


Bjola helped organize a "goon squad" of 200 construction contract-ors that descended on a small rally on the highway, assaulting several people, destroying signs and banners, and threatening those speaking out against the destruction.

The lack of any assessments of the delicate karst (limestone) geology and watercourse hydrology in the area may leave the new interchange subject to collapse, sinkholes, and widespread watershed contamination due to runoff. Sewage, silt, and chemicals from the new development are already filtering into streams that flow down Skirt Mountain into Florence Lake and Langford Lake.

Challenging this aggressive development on Vancouver Island has created a grassroots network that covers half the province, and future developments will never be the same. We are grateful to everyone who's given their energy to this campaign.

Why We're Defendingtrees to stop a huge development project, including a new highway, that would destroy mature forests, watersheds, rare caves, traditional indigenous sites and wildlife near Victoria, BC. Bear Mountain is the name given to the place by the developers of Bear Mountain Resort and Properties. The city of Langford named it Skirt Mountain, and the Songhees Nation name is Spaet, which means "bear."

Until 2001 much of SPAET Mountain was classified as a "Forest Lands Reserve" (Crown land owned by the public). The behind-the - scenes sale of this land adds up to a form of political corruption. Corporate profit from hastily planned development schemes in this area depend on a new road infrastructure financed by public funds such as the $30 million Bear Mountain Interchange on the Trans


Canada Highway (1). To connect to it, two roads are being constructed: the Savory Road Connector and the Bear Mountain Parkway. Both roads bisect forests buffering Goldstream Park, a much loved nature attraction, further diminishing its fragile and already endangered ecology.

The infrastructure for Bear Mountain Resort includes the Malahat Corridor, promoted as an alternative to Malahat Drive. The new highway will carve SPAET Mountain in two and cross over Saanich Inlet, giving city commuters direct access to the new development scheme at Bamberton. BC's gung-ho Ministry of Transportation has partnered with Stantec, the engineering empire that paved over most of Edmonton, Alberta.

SPAET Mountain is being destroyed by a clandestine land grab.

HUNTINGTON -- Although the message at Saturday's seventh annual Day of


by the families of the teens slain is William Smith, the superintendent of Cabell County Schools. Smith, who was given the Stephen L. Ferguson Memorial Award on Saturday, said he could personally identify with those families because his sister was killed in the same manner in 1988.

She was a teacher in Detroit and was driving back home for the holidays when a vehicle from behind kept blinking its lights. After she stopped, the driver came to her window and shot her. The man had been on a killing spree, and Smith's sister became one his victims.

Fast forward to the morning of May 22, 2005, when Smith was informed about the students' deaths as he was preparing for Sunday school. He was interim superintendent at the time and hadcrime," Holbrook said, who noted that violent crime has declined in recent years. "One is too many as far as I'm concerned."

A candlelight service also was held Saturday evening at Huntington First Church of the Nazarene.

About twenty people gathered to light candles for the victims, including a candle for Samantha Burns, a Marshall University student who was abducted and murdered in November 2002, and Leah Hickman, a Marshall student whose body was found in December 2007.

"It was just something to do for their families," said Lyons. "We know there is no way these families will ever have a complete sense of peace because their lives have been changed forever, but we hope


Cincinnati City Councilman Chris Seelbach said during a Wednesday council meeting discussing plummeting city budgets due to the new coronavirus that FC Cincinnati should give back at least some of the nearly $33 million the city put into the team's West End stadium.

But Seelbach followed up Thursday with questions to the city administration about whether it would be feasible, and a city email shared with The Enquirer shows it would be possible – but it's up to the team.

Seelbach said that when council meets again in two weeks he will put a resolution forward to council asking that FC Cincinnati give back 25% of the money, which is what council asked social service agencies to return.

FC Cincinnati's majority owner is Carl Lindner III, co-chief executive officer of AmericanFinancial Group and one of Cincinnati's wealthiest business men. The pandemic has been a blow to major league sports, including Major League Soccer. FC Cincinnati played just two road games this season before the league suspended play March 12.

“The city approved funding to reimburse FCC for the cost of eligible public improvements, including roadway improvements, utility infrastructure, site preparation, and a parking garage," said Anne Sesler, a team spokeswoman. "The new West End Stadium itself is completely financed with private dollars, with no public money inside.”

Chris Bigham, assistant city manager and city budget director, wrote Thursday in an email to Seelbach that the city has not dispersed the money to the team yet.

The next city budget has been ravaged by this virus, Seelbach told The Enquirer.

"Police layoffs, cuts


to public services and the closure of all city pools could unfortunately be on the table in the next year. Recently, the city manager asked social service programs to give back 25% of their funds to the city," he said.

"I’m calling on FC Cincinnati’s owners, successful billionaires, to stand up for firefighters, nurses, public parks and return some of the $33 million in taxpayer subsidies they received. This is a defining moment, where those with means can give back to their community, saving first responders and front-line worker jobs in our next budget."

Seelbach has never been a fan of the stadium project, which is being built in the city's West End, adjacent to the city's urban core. Council, in a 5-3 vote, approved the project in 2017, callingNFL PARTNERS WITH EAST WEST SHRINE GAME

NFL PARTNERS WITH EAST-WEST SHRINE GAME TO

INCREASE DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR COACHES &

DRAFT-ELIGIBLE PLAYERS

The NFL is partnering with the historic East-West Shrine Game to increase development opportunities for coaches and draft-eligible players, the league announced today.

The NFL will supply the coaching staffs for the two teams from among current league assistant coaches whose teams do not advance to the playoffs. The NFL will also provide the game officials for the contest, which features some of college football’s best prospects.

The 92nd annual East-West Shrine Game will kick off at 3 p.m. ET on Saturday, January 21, from Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida and be televised live on NFL Network.

“The East-West Shrine Game is not only a showcase for tremendous


athletes who have a dream of playing at the next level, it is also a venue for upwardly mobile coaches in the NFL,” said NFL Executive Vice President of Football Operations TROY VINCENT. “This is an opportunity to further develop, evaluate and showcase our assistant coaches who may be our next generation of head coaches.”

At the conclusion of the NFL regular season, teams will nominate deserving assistant coaches who will be reviewed by a panel that includes NFL Football Operations staff, East-West Shrine Game leadership and two members of the NFL’s General Managers Advisory Committee. Once the head coaches are selected, each head coach will then fill his 12-person staff from among other NFL assistant coaches nominated by the clubs, a key job requirement for head coaches atevery level of the sport.

Coaches nominated by NFL clubs must be active assistant coaches who display extraordinary teaching and communications skills, and are recognized for their integrity and commitment to excellence in the coaching profession. The coaches must be accomplished at developing and preparing players to compete in the NFL.

“It is an honor for the East-West Shrine Game to partner with the NFL to promote opportunities for professional growth and development not only for our outstanding players, but also for the potential future generation of head coaches in the league,” said HAROLD RICHARDSON, executive director of the East-West Shrine Game. “We are proud to be able to provide a national stage for some of football’s greatest talents to develop their skills and showcase their abilities, all while supporting

of tiny and invisible imps ran forth carrying death and destruction to
the white men's foes, and thus it happened that to their minds moral
terrors were added to the physical dangers of warfare. So strong was
this belief among them, indeed, that whenever a shell struck they would
turn and fire at it in the hope that thus they might destroy the 'live
devils' who dwelt within it.

After these battles Lobengula, having first set fire to it, fled from
his chief place, Buluwayo, which was occupied by the white men within a
month of the commencement of the campaign.

In reply to a letter sent to him by Dr. Jameson, demanding his surrender
and guaranteeing his safety, Lobengula wrote that he 'would come in.'

The promised period


from the scherms.
We went slowly on account of the disabled men and horses.

'There was a lull, and Wilson rode up to me and asked if I thought I
could rush through to the main column. A scout on a good horse might
succeed, of course, where the patrol as a whole would not stand a
chance. It was a forlorn hope, but I thought it was only a question of
here or there, and I said I'd try, asking for a man to be sent with me.
A man called Gooding said he was willing to come, and I picked Ingram
also because we had been through many adventures together, and I thought
we might as well see this last one through together.

'So we started, and we had not gone five hundred yards when weVoice on her right side, towards the church, and rarely did
she hear it but she also saw a great light.' These are her very words.
They asked her if she heard these Voices there, in the hall of judgment,
and she answered, 'If I were in a wood, I should well hear these Voices
coming to me.' The Voices at first only told her 'to be a good girl, and
go to church.' She thought it was a holy Voice, and that it came from
God; and the third time she heard it she knew it was the voice of an
angel. The Voice told her of 'the great pity there was in France,' and
that one day she must go into France and help the country. She had
visions with the Voices; visions first of


against us, and had hindered the boats from carrying the
provisions into Orleans, and the sails filled.'

Dunois now wished Joan to cross by boat and enter the town, but her army
could not cross, and she was loth to leave them, lest they fell into
sin, for she had made them all confess at Blois. However, the army
returned to Blois, to cross by the bridge there, and come upon the
Orleans bank, as Joan had intended from the first. Then Joan crossed in
the boat, holding in her hand the lily standard. So she and La Hire and
Dunois rode into Orleans, where the people crowded round her, blessing
her, and trying to kiss her hand. Night had fallen, there were torches
flaring in the wind, and, as the people thronged about her, a torch set
firedecided that she was to marry Dom Pedro, Crown Prince of Portugal,
her household was increased, and special attendants appointed to do
honour to her rank.

Now among the ladies chosen to form part of Constance's court, was a
distant cousin of her own, the beautiful and charming Ines de Castro.
Like Henry II. at the sight of Fair Rosamond, the young Dom Pedro, who
was not more than twenty years of age, fell passionately in love with
her. He did all in his power to hide his feelings from his bride, the
Infanta Constance, but did not succeed, and in a few years she died, it
was said of grief at her husband's coldness, after giving birth to the
Infant, Dom Fernando (1345). After her death, Dom Pedro's father King
Alfonso was anxious that he should marry again,


the Church.

This solemn function being over, the last act in the history of Ines was
begun. By command of the King her body was taken from the convent of
Santa Clara, where it had lain in peace for many years, and was clad in
royal garments: a crown was placed on her head and a sceptre in her
hand, and she was seated on a throne for the subjects, who during her
life had despised her, to kneel and kiss the hem of her robe. One by one
the knights and the nobles and the great officers of the Crown did
homage to the dead woman, and when all had bowed before what was left of
the beautiful Ines they placed her in a splendid coffin, which was borne
by knights over the seven leagues that layunwilling to
die, and with these honourable terms for surrender they drew back from
Sir Richard and the master gunner. 'The maister gunner, finding himselfe
prevented and maistered by the greater number, would have slaine
himselfe with a sword had he not beene by force withhold and locked into
his cabben.'

Then the Spanish general sent to the 'Revenge' to bring Sir Richard to
his own ship; for he greatly admired his wonderful courage.

Sir Richard told him they might do what they chose with his body, for he
did not care for it; and as he was being carried from his ship in a
fainting state, he asked those of his men near him to pray for him.

He only lived for three days after this, but was treated with the
greatest courtesy and kindness by the Spaniards. He


rats and several kinds of birds.

A few bushes grew upon it, and under these I had to shelter at night,
but though I searched through the island, I could not find a drop of
fresh water. Nor could I have continued to live, having only the eggs I
found, if I had not succeeded in knocking down some birds with a stick,
which made me a grand banquet. This gave me heart to try to make a fire
after the fashion of the blacks by rubbing two sticks together, and I
managed to do this after a while, and cooked my birds on the fire I had
lit.

That night came a great storm, with the reddest lightning I had ever
seen, and rain that drenched me through. But in the morning I had the
joy of findingin the gallery of
the palace just after dinner, for this prince always went to bed at
midday and took supper at midnight. He was a great and powerful noble,
of stately and beautiful presence, though now he was nearly sixty years
old. A wise knight he was, bold in enterprise, and of good counsel.
Never did he suffer any unbeliever in his company, and he was very
pious, every day making many and long prayers, and giving alms to the
poor folk at his gate. He took much delight in minstrelsy, and at his
midnight supper songs and virelays were chanted to him. Till about three
o'clock in the morning he listened while Master Froissart read aloud his
poems, tales, or histories, while the courtiers yawned, no doubt, and
wished for bedtime. But it was the good Count's

killed. Then, being greatly tired with their day's excursion, they lay
down to rest as usual.

Seeing them apparently fast asleep, I tried different ways of finding
out whether it was a pretence to see what I should do. But after making
a noise and walking about, sometimes touching them with my feet, I found
that they really slept. My heart exulted at the hope of freedom, but it
sank again when I thought how easily I might be recaptured. I resolved,
if possible, to get one of their guns, and if discovered to die in
self-defence rather than be taken; and I tried several times to take one
from under their heads, where they always secure them. But in vain; I
could not have done so without rousing them.

So, trusting myself to the divine protection, I setNorway, had sailed with a large fleet eastwards
to Wendland, passing through the Danish king's dominion without his
goodwill, and was now returning thence. He sailed with a light breeze
and fair weather for Denmark, the smaller ships going before, and the
larger ships following behind because they needed more wind.

At an island off Wendland were gathered many great chiefs: the island is
called Svolder. In this fleet was Sweyn, King of the Danes, who had many
charges against King Olaf--one being that Olaf had taken to wife Sweyn's
sister without his leave; another that he had established himself in
Norway, a land tributary to Sweyn and subdued by King Harold his father.
Earl Sigvaldi was there with the Danish king because he was his earl.
And in this combined fleet was a mighty chief, Olaf the Swede,


fight. And so he bade his ships
drop away sternwards; and then Earl Eric lay broadside on.

King Olaf Tryggvason had laid the Long Snake between Short Snake and the
Crane, and the smallest ships outside them. But Earl Eric, as each of
these was disabled, caused it to be cut away, and pressed on to those
that were behind. Now, when the small ships of King Olaf were cleared,
the men leapt from them and went up on the larger ships. There was in
this bout much loss of life in either party; but ever, as men fell in
Earl Eric's ships, others took their place, Swedes and Danes; whereas
none took the place of the men who fell on Olaf's side. All his ships
were cleared presently except Long Snake; this held out because it was
highestpouring into his ears the assurance that Burke would not
return that way, but had doubtless by this time made for some port on
the Queensland coast, and had returned to Melbourne by sea; and that if
they stayed at the depot they would all get scurvy, and in the end die
of starvation. Though they had sufficient provisions to keep them for
another month, they decided to start on the morning of April 21, leaving
the box of stores and the note hidden in the earth which the explorers
found on their return.

Following their former route towards the Darling, they fell in with
Wright's party at Bulloo, where they had been stationary for several
weeks, and where three of the men had died of scurvy.

Brahe at once put himself under Wright's orders; but he did not


about him twelve of the
wisest men; they sate with him over judgments and counselled him in
difficulties; and that was no easy task, for while the King liked it ill
if judgment was perverted, he yet would not hear any contradiction of
himself. When they were met thus in council, the King took the word,
and bade Emund be called thither.

But the messenger came back and said: 'Sire, Emund the lawman rode away
yesterday immediately after he had supped.'

Then spake the King: 'Tell me this, noble lords, whereto pointed that
law question of which Emund asked yesterday?'

They answered: 'Sire, thou wilt have understood it, if it meant more
than his mere words.'

The King said: 'By those two nobly-born men of whom he told the story
that they disputed, the one more powerful than the other, andtheir vessel that they were glad to gain the shore at the
first possible landing-place. There they found a considerable town, the
inhabitants of which were a warlike race who speedily attacked them.
After some fighting the Spaniards were victorious, but they had lost
two of their number, and many were wounded. It was necessary that the
ship should be sent back to Panama for repairs, but Pizarro did not
consider that this place, which they had named Pueblo Quemado, would be
a safe resting-place for those who were left behind; so he embarked
again for Chicama, and when he was settled there his treasurer started
for Panama with the gold that had been collected, and instructions to
lay before Pedrarias, the governor, a full account of the expedition.
Meanwhile Almagro had succeeded in equipping a small caravel, and
started


further north. It was
uninhabited, and being partly covered with wood afforded more shelter.
There was also plenty of good water, and pheasants and a species of hare
were fairly numerous. The rain fell incessantly, and the Spaniards built
rude huts to keep themselves dry, but from the swarms of venomous
insects they could find no protection. Pizarro did all he could to keep
up the spirits of his men in this dreary place. Morning prayers were
duly said, the evening hymn chanted, the Church festivals carefully
observed, and, above all, a keen look-out was kept across the ocean for
the expected sail; but seven months had passed before one small vessel
appeared. The Governor had at last allowed De Luque and Almagro to fit
out this ship; but she carried no more men than were needed to workmeet, and no man should go forward
who had any misgivings as to the success of the expedition. He added
that the garrison left in San Miguel was by no means as strong as he
would like it to be, and that if any of them wished to return there
instead of going forward with him they were quite free to do so, and
their share in the profits of the expedition should be just the same as
that of the men originally left there. Nine of the soldiers availed
themselves of this permission to turn back, and having thus got rid of
the elements of discontent, which might have become dangerous, Pizarro
resumed his march, halting again at Zaran while he sent an officer
forward to obtain more certain tidings of the position of Atahuallpa.

empire back in the hands of a single emperor for the last time until the final collapse of the Western Roman Empire (not considering the purely nominal claim of Zeno in 480). Theodosius passed
the rule of the Western Empire to his younger son Honorius in the following year (with general Stilicho as regent while Honorius was underage).

Background

In 313 Constantine I and Licinius I had legalized the Christian faith with the Edict of Milan. Theodosius I had made it the official religion of the State with the 380 Edict of Thessalonica. Conflict simmered between the Roman Senate, many of whom were not Christian, and the emperors in Constantinople and Milan who officially subscribed to Christian teachings. The senators wrote letters and argued for a return to traditional Roman beliefs,He has since gone on to enjoy further success with Bayern Munich but his work with Barca remains his stand-out, with many thinking City have plumped for him in a bid to copy the La Liga champions' distinctive style of play.

They also have ex-Barca staff Ferran Soriano and Txiki Begiristain on their books, but president Josep Maria Bartomeu does not agree that they are trying to become an incarnation of his club.

He told the BBC: "I don't think City are replicating anything. Like a lot of clubs in the world, they have a project to make the club grow.

"Some of their people used to be with us at Barcelona and they are bringing their experience to the club. This is normal because in Europe there is the movement


of professionals from one to another.

Manchester City are seen by many to be copying the Barcelona formula.

"Pep will do well at any club, he is a very good coach and did a fantastic job at Barcelona. He was in the playing arena for years and I had the privilege of working with him for two years. He has very good ideas for football which he brought to Bayern and now City.

"They are not copying, they are evolution of an idea and Pep will do it great. The Premier League will have the advantage of having one of the best coaches in the world."

Bartomeu also added that the Premier League's new TV deal -- worth just over £5 billion -- makes him worried when it comes to keeping talentnewspaper (বাংলা সংবাদপত্র) is one of the most popular newspapers in Bangladesh.it

Established in 1886, the Religious Sciences Section is reputed for its original scholarship in the subject of religions, which it examines in a secular and cross-cultural spirit. By emphasizing comparative and interdisciplinary study, it is the only academic body in France to cover this field so extensively, using a wide range of scientific approaches.
The Section's teaching in the area of research extends into the most diverse cultural and linguistic fields, from Antiquity to modern and contemporary times.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich forcefully endorsed John McCain on Thursday in the Arizona Republican’s Senate primary, two days after GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump declined to do so. But Gingrich told POLITICO that he has always supported his former congressional colleague.

“I strongly endorse Sen. John McCain,” Gingrich said in a video released by the senator's campaign, going on to call him “a genuine American hero, a man who has endured a great deal for his country, and a man who I worked with and watched him provide leadership as chairman of the Armed Services Committee.”

Speaking to The Washington Post on Tuesday, Trump said that he has not endorsed McCain in his primary contest “because I’ve always felt that he should’ve done

Massimiliano Allegri: Arturo Vidal was never for sale

Manchester United have been left even more frustrated by their failed pursuit of Arturo Vidal after Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri claimed the Chilean playmaker was never for sale.

The Daily Express carries quotes from the Italian coach who insists that as soon as he took over from Antonio Conte at the Serie 'A' champions, he was given assurances by the club's board that the midfielder would not be leaving Turin.

Vidal's future was one of the most talked about subjects during the summer transfer window, with endless speculation suggesting the World Cup star would end up following Louis van Gaal to Old Trafford.

As recently as deadline day the Red Devils were linked with a £40 million bid for the 27-year-old's services, but itseems to have been a lost cause from the outset.

The Dutch coach was aware of Vidal's long-standing knee problem that had also threatened to ruin the deal, but the Red Devils boss was exploring the possibility of offering the player a pay-as-you-play contract.

New-look squad

Despite missing out on the Serie 'A' star, Manchester United did manage to bring in a total of six new faces to Old Trafford, with Luke Shaw, Ander Herrera, Marcos Rojo and Daley Blind joining the aforementioned Di Maria and Falcao in the new-look first-team squad.

The flurry of late window arrivals also forced the club to ship out a number of their underperforming stars, with Javier Hernandez, Shinji Kagawa, Tom Cleverley and Danny Welbeck among the players deemed surplus to requirements for the 2014/15 campaign.

What a fascinating story. DNA testing has confirmed that the skeleton dug up below a parking lot behind the council buildings in Leicester, is that of Richard III, the last Plantagenet King of England. Richard III was one of Shakespeare’s great villains. The bones were found amid the foundations of a Franciscan friary, the very place where history said Richard’s body was taken after the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485.

Modern science could compare mitochondrial DNA taken from the 500-year-old skeleton with DNA from a living descendant of Richard’s sister. Richard became king in 1483, taking power from his nephew, the 12-year-old Edward V. Richard was said to have imprisoned his two nephews in the Tower of London, and within months of Richard’s taking the throne, the twoThe Crisis in Venezuela

GENEVA, Mar 12 2019 (IPS) - My mission to Venezuela in November/December 2017 was the first by a UN rapporteur in 21 years. It was intended to open the door to the visit of other rapporteurs and to explore ways how to help the Venezuelan people overcome the protracted economic and institutional crisis.

In preparation of the mission I studied all pertinent reports by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, UN High Commissioner, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Provea, Fundalatin, Grupo Sures, Red Nacional de Derechos Humanos, etc.

During the mission, thanks to the professionalism of UNDP, I was able to meet with members of the opposition, National Assembly, chamber of commerce, churches, professors, students, representatives of OAS, Carter Center, victims of violence, and civil society. Since


my mother tongue is Spanish, it was easy to inter-relate with Venezuelans, walk the streets, visit the supermarkets.

I learned about the scarcity of foods and medicines, black markets, smuggling of subsidized petrol, foods and medicines into neighbouring countries. The situation did not reach and still does not reach the threshold of a “humanitarian crisis” as we know from Gaza, Yemen, Syria, Sudan, Haiti, etc.

A major obstacle to solving the problems was the polarization of the population and the dearth of confidence-building measures. I recognized that the government needed advisory services and technical assistance from UN agencies in order to carry out needed economic and institutional reforms.

I convened a meeting with UN agencies in order to explore concrete strategies. In a 6-page confidential memorandum to the government and in– in Chile. As we know from the studies of Stephen Kinzer and William Blum, US Military and CIA interventions in Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Panama, Nicaragua, Paraguay etc. have cost tens of thousands of lives and brought untold misery to millions of Latin Americans.

“Human Rights” has nothing to do with the US Venezuela policy. As it was in Iraq 2003 and Libya 2011, it is OIL. The US covets the largest oil reserves in the world, as well as the third largest reserves in gold and coltan. If Maduro is toppled, it will be a bonanza for US investors and transnational corporations.

What is sad is that some countries ostensibly committed to democracy, the rule of law and human rights, are supporting the sanctions and the Guaidó


coup. We observe a Machiavellian, cynical instrumentalization of human rights and humanitarian aid for purely geopolitical reasons.

A solution of the crisis depends on direct dialogue between the opposition and the government. Such dialogue already took place in 2016-2018. Former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero hosted these talks and arrived at a reasonable accord. On the day of signature, 6 February 2018, Julio Borges, the leader of the opposition refused to sign. This augurs badly for any kind of international mediation by the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, by the High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet or by Mexico and Uruguay in the context of the Montevideo mechanism.

History shows us that sanctions kill, and when the level of killing reaches a certain threshold, sanctions become acrime against humanity. This is a worthy challenge for the International Criminal Court. What Venezuela needs is an end to sanctions and interference in is internal affairs, an end to the violations of Articles 1-2 of the UN Charter and of articles 3, 19 and 20 of the OAS Charter by the US and its “coalition”. Venezuela needs international solidarity and respect of its sovereignty.

type disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 632,309, an open-atmosphere powdered flame spray gun and a method are disclosed in which a powderized thermoplastic material, combustion air and a combustion gas are delivered through a plurality of passageways extending through the spray gun body into an open mixing and combustion chamber defined by a cylindrical hood extending beyond the spray gun body. The resultant mixture is ignited and the thermoplastic material is melted in the flame combustion area while entrained in a stream of pressurized air that propels the melted material onto the substrate.
One limitation experienced through use of the method and apparatus disclosed in U.S. 4,632,309 was that projecting the stream of combustible gas into the combustion chamber at an oblique angle toward the axis of the combustionchamber and toward the central stream of propelling air and entrained particulate material actually caused a "pinching" of the stream of particulate material and limited the quantity of thermoplastic material that could be melted and delivered for spray coating. In addition, the angular delivery of the combustible gas in the combustion chamber was found to limit the size of the flame "tunnel" emanating from the combustion chamber, and therefore was a self-limiting factor in the total quantity of particulate thermoplastic material that could be melted for spray application. Further, if increased flow rates of particulate material were desired to be delivered by the spray gun, an improved hopper and eductor feed means were necessary to entrain and mix the desired quantity of particulate material in the stream of


Decrease of inpatient mortality for hip fracture in France.
Hip fracture is the most devastating osteoporotic fracture, increasing the risk of mortality. Recent data suggest a decrease in incidence of this fracture. Few data are available on potential changes in mortality. We studied the change of inpatient mortality from 2002 to 2008 in France. Data were extracted from the French Hospital National Database. The absolute number of inpatient mortality for hip fracture was described as well as the case fatal rate and mortality rate adjusted on age and gender. Risk factors of inpatient mortality were assessed by multiple regressions. Inpatient mortality stay decreased from 3057 to 2350 in patients aged 40 years and over and in both gender. Inpatient mortality stays were more important in women and increased withTwo men are in life-threatening condition after stabbings in the Mission District, police report.

In one incident on Sunday afternoon, officers were called to 16th and Capp streets and found a man in his 20s suffering from a stab wound.

Soccer United Marketing president Kathy Carter has confirmed to ESPN FC that she is exploring a run for the presidency of the U.S. Soccer Federation.

SI.com's Grant Wahl first tweeted the possibility that Carter will run. One source told ESPN FC that Carter is in "the final stages" of formalizing her bid, and put her chances of running at "95 percent." The source added that Carter, whose position has her helping to run the marketing arm of MLS, has gone so far as to hire an outside agency separate from SUM and MLS to handle the logistics of her campaign, and could make an announcement in the next 48 hours.

Multiple sources indicated that if Carter does run, it's a strong indicator that current USSF president Sunil Gulati will decideour professional leagues and our national teams."

Should Carter formally announce her intentions to run, she would be the only woman in a crowded field that includes former U.S. international Paul Caligiuri, current USSF vice president Carlos Cordeiro, Boston-based attorney Steve Gans, Springfield, Mass.-based businessman and soccer entrepreneur Paul Lapointe, former player and current broadcaster Kyle Martino, New York-based attorney Mike Winograd, and former U.S. international and current broadcaster Eric Wynalda.

If Kathy Carter runs for USSF president, sources say Sunil Gulati would almost certainly not seek re-election. Getty Images

"Should I decide to run, I will first look to engage the federation's many stakeholders as part of the process," she said. "I believe we need new ideas and I look forward to listening to fresh perspectives on how to advance


our game. The federation and our sport is primed for greatness and I will enter the race if I believe I can help to deliver results for the Federation's members, players, and fans."

Carter has a long career on the business side of the game, having served as a vice president for Anschutz Entertainment Group, who own the Los Angeles Galaxy. Carter has also worked in an executive capacity for Envision, as well as ISL United States, a subsidiary of the company that at one point did business with FIFA, the International Olympic Committee, and the International Association of Athletics Federations.

ISL went bankrupt in 2001 amid hundreds of millions of dollars of debt, and was later found to have paid bribes to leading soccer figures, including former FIFA presidentJoao Havelange and then-FIFA Executive Committee member Ricardo Teixeira. Carter wasn't implicated in any of the corrupt activity.

Carter also served as MLS' vice president of corporate marketing, from the league's inception until late 1999. She also worked on the organizing committee for the 1994 World Cup. Carter also has experience on the playing side of the game, having played collegiately as a goalkeeper at William & Mary.

While Carter's resume is extensive, she will run into resistance from some segments of the USSF's voting membership that view her tenure at SUM as problematic. The failure of the U.S. men's national team to qualify for the 2018 World Cup has led many to call for a break from the leadership of Gulati, and Carter will be seen by some quarters


told ESPN FC that among the items on the agenda is a set of policy changes that would alter the future role of the USSF president.

Gulati has been criticized in the past for having too much power over decisions such as the selection of national team coaches. The changes, if approved, would see the president become more of a Chairman of the Board type of position that would be more collaborative in nature, especially as it relates to the hiring of national team coaches.of Norway.

Intercontinental Piano Duo

For last Sunday’s recital on the Frederick Historical Piano Concerts series in Ashburnham, two pianists who have appeared previously individually joined forces for a program of solo and duo works by the Schumanns and Brahms. Chinese-American Shuann Chai, who is now based in Amsterdam, was making her sixth appearance and Chinese pianist Yuan Sheng, professor at the Beijing Conservatory, but who earned his B.M. and M.M. degrees at the Manhattan School of Music in NYC, his third, but this was their first duet outing.

The instrument that they chose from the Frederick Collection was the 1868 Streicher, with the somewhat diabolical serial number 6668. It is parallel strung, with the overspun bass strings on a separate bridge, bass register single strung, the tenor register double,the Collection’s 1871 instrument was used. It is identical to the one Brahms owned. The instrument has a clear tone, resonant and warm because of the quantity of wood and the lack of metal, mellow and somewhat throaty, that the Fredericks described in the program book as “transparent. ” Although it is definitely a Romantic instrument, shining in lyrical and energetic moments, it is less bright than a modern Steinway and has considerably more color, with notable differences among the registers that remain distinct from each other while yet pleasantly blending.

Chai and Sheng opened and closed their program, composed of works mostly written within a single decade that ended a decade before the instrument was built, with the duet works, Chai handling the upper register and Sheng the


lower and the pedals in both cases, and playing from scores, pretty much essential in duet playing. The opener was Robert Schumann’s Bilder aus Osten, op. 66 (1848), often charmingly but inappropriately translated as “Images from the Orient,” but it literally means “Pictures from the East”; and the melodies and rhythms come, in fact, from Central Europe, East of Germany, not from the Far East. It is a set of six varied impromptus.

Sheng followed this, playing from memory, with what the printed program listed as Brahms’s 16 Variations on a theme of Robert Schumann, op. 54 (1861), but I am familiar with the work of this title as op. 9 (1854), written for Clara Schumann after the birth of her eighth child and after Robert was institutionalized, whenthat showed off the instrument’s potential in a more quiet manner — although with a few brilliant moments, with one of more exuberant bravura that demonstrated its power; but the pieces were more harmonious and mellifluous and less brilliant, boisterous, and raucous than they sound on a modern Steinway-like instrument. Playing was impeccable throughout the recital and the partnership was polished. Future visits and collaborations will be most welcome.

Dame Stella Rimington, the former head of MI5, has accused the Government of exploiting public fear of terrorism to restrict civil liberties.

Her comments came on the same day as a report published by international jurists suggested that Britain and America have led other countries in "actively undermining" the rule of law and "threatening civil liberties" in the guise of fighting terrorism.

In an interview with the Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia, Dame Stella said that a series of increasingly draconian policies have led British citizens to "live in fear and under a police state".

The 73-year-old said: "Since I have retired I feel more at liberty to be against certain decisions of the Government, especially the attempt topass laws which interfere with people's privacy.

"It would be better that the Government recognised that there are risks, rather than frightening people in order to be able to pass laws which restrict civil liberties, precisely one of the objects of terrorism: that we live in fear and under a police state."

Dame Stella, who became the first female head of MI5 in 1992 and held the position until 1996, has long been a vocal critic of the Government's plans to introduce ID cards and lengthen the amount of time terror suspects are held without charge to 42 days. In the interview yesterday, she also criticised the United States.

She said: "The US has gone too far with Guantanamo and the tortures. MI5 does not do that. Furthermore it has achieved


ministers, and people in prison for alleged terrorist offences.

The actions of the US has immense influence on the behaviour of other countries, the study maintained, and the jurists called on President Barack Obama to repeal policies which came with the "war on terror paradigm" and were inconsistent with international human rights law. "In particular, it should renounce the use of torture and other proscribed interrogation techniques, extraordinary renditions, and secret and prolonged detention without charge or trial".

The report stated: "The framework of international law is being undermined... the US and UK have led that undermining."

The jurists examined cases which included "individuals abducted and held in secret prisons, where they have been tortured and ill-treated; terrorist suspects held incommunicado for extended periods before being charged and before they haveKen Macdonald, Britain's Director of Public Prosecutions said: "There is no such thing as a 'war on terror'... The fight against terrorism on the streets of Britain is not a war. It is the prevention of crime, enforcement of our laws ..."

The report also says the "war on terror" is repeating the mistakes made by the British in Northern Ireland. It states: "Sometimes the parallels are almost surreal. Witnesses talked of the failed detention policies in Northern Ireland as having led to 'hundreds of young men in working-class nationalist communities joining the IRA and creating one of the most efficient insurgency forces in the world ...' One must wonder, 30 years later, what impact the sight of the treatment of detainees at Guantánamo Bay or Abu Ghraib is
