Orman has said he opposes partial-birth abortion and using taxpayer dollars to fund abortions, but hasn’t commented on a specific Senate bill banning late-term abortion.

The strategy could be especially potent in Kansas, which has a long history of pro-life advocacy. Wichita, Kan., was ground zero for the 1991 "Summer of Mercy" anti-abortion-rights protests, which brought thousands of activists to the city to stage sit-ins at abortion clinics and for a huge rally at the Wichita State University stadium.

Since then, anti-abortion-ghts activists and social conservatives more broadly have had an active and organized presence in the state, which has translated to electoral wins for


strong social conservatives in the past. During the 2012 election, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum (R), who framed himself as the social conservative alternative to Mitt Romney in the presidential race, won the state's caucus with 51 percent support and more than twice as many votes as Romney.

Clay Barker, executive director of the Kansas Republican Party, suggested this organization could boost Roberts at the polls, and that Orman's dismissal of the abortion issue in particular could trigger higher turnout among social conservatives.

"It was a big deal and it will get probably more of them to turn out than they would have otherwise," he said.

Orman's campaign dismissed the attacks focused on abortion as irrelevant, arguing Kansas voters are more concerned with Roberts's absences from committee hearings.

as a key plank of its development strategy and has racked up
immense trade surpluses. That requires China's State Administration of Foreign
Exchange to invest the proceeds overseas. In the past, SAFE has hinted that
about two-thirds of its stash is held in U.S. securities, a percentage that
generally has been in line with annual data collected by the U.S. Treasury.

The new Treasury data suggest China has begun to rapidly diversify its portfolio
of currencies. "It clearly indicates China's intention not to put all eggs
in one basket," said Lu Feng, director of Peking University's China Macroeconomic
Research Center.

China has many reasons to try to reduce its exposure to the dollar. They
include very low yields paid by Treasuries and a vulnerability to U.S. decisions
on managing its debt that could lead to inflation that would erodeof China's purchases of U.S. securities didn't come close to matching
the pace of expansion of its foreign reserve pile, reducing the percentage
of dollar holdings in China's foreign exchange haul.

Nick Lardy, an expert on the Chinese economy at the Peterson Institute,
noted that a fall in China's holdings of debt issues by troubled mortgage
giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac accounted for most of the decline. Over
the period covered by the annual survey, China continued to add to its holdings
of U.S. Treasurys, he said.

Monthly data on China's holdings of U.S Treasurys has been seen as less
reliable than the annual survey. But the Treasury has now introduced a new
survey technique intended to improve the accuracy of the data. The latest
numbers show China's holdings of U.S Treasurys dropped to $1.15 trillion
in December, falling


$156 billion since the period covered by the annual
survey. That suggests China's diversification away from dollars may have
continued in the second half of 2011.

As China has appeared to lose its dollar appetite between June 2010 and
2011, the greenback weakened 9.2% against a broad range of currencies according
to the Federal Reserve. It has since risen about 3%, as the euro crisis deepened
and the U.S. economy has shown signs of strengthening.

Where did the money not invested in dollars go? China's SAFE won't say.
Officials at the foreign-exchange agency didn't respond to questions faxed
to them on Thursday.

But China's leaders have made increasingly strong statements that they would
like to help the 17-nation euro zone deal with its troubles. In February,

This invention relates generally to the hazardous condition detectors, and more specifically to the hush feature of such detectors.
In the past, many people died in their sleep because there was no warning system to awaken them during the early stages of a dwelling fire. Likewise, without a system that could detect the presence of a fire early in its development, many people were trapped in burning buildings once the fire escalated to a point that became easily detectable. Luckily, smoke detectors have been developed which reliably provide an early warning to individuals that a fire may be present. These smoke detectors are so effective in saving lives that they have been mandated as required appliances in many types of dwellings. Current smoke detectors utilize an Application-Specific Integrated Circuittime maintaining functionality of the smoke detector, a hush feature was introduced into conventional smoke detector design. Such a hush feature operates in conventional ASIC-based smoke detectors to reduce the sensitivity of the smoke detectors so that the smoke resulting from consumer-controlled conditions do not result in the sounding of the smoke detector alarm. In such a reduced sensitivity mode of operation, the conventional ASIC-based smoke detectors will sound an alarm if a level of smoke sensed continues to increase beyond the reduced sensitivity level. In this way, the consumers will again be provided with an audible warning indicating that the level of smoke within their dwelling has continued to increase since the hush feature was initiated.
While both the hush feature and the test feature satisfied consumer demands,


many smoke detectors provided separate push-button switches to initiate these different modes of operation. Unfortunately, it was found that many consumers were inadvertently actuating the wrong push-button switch and, as a result, were confused by the subsequent operation of their smoke detector. As an example, if the hush button were actuated when the consumer actually wished to determine operability of the smoke detector by entering the test mode of operation, the alarm would not sound, possibly causing the consumer to believe that smoke detector is defective. Likewise, in the situation where the source of smoke is a known consumer-controlled event, actuation of the test button will not silence the smoke detector alarm as desired by the consumer. Such may result in the consumer believing that a larger problemsubsequent generation of a level of smoke that would sound the alarm in a normal sensitivity mode of operation will fail to do so because the detector continues to operate in the reduced sensitivity mode, even though the original condition necessitating the reduced sensitivity mode of operation has long since cleared.
The continued operation in the reduced sensitivity mode of operation highlights another shortcoming of the prior design in that it relies on external timing circuitry as the only mechanism for exiting the reduced sensitivity mode of operation. As described above, once this reduced sensitivity mode of operation has been entered, it will only be exited once the external time-delay circuitry has timed out, regardless of the atmospheric conditions existing within the environment of the detector. Further, while the


Alabama's
loss in Saturday's Iron Bowl means the focus shifts from the SEC Championship
Game to recruiting. In a week, the awards circuit will mean a heavy travel
schedule for at least on Crimson Tide star.

For
Monday, the recruiting trail was hot. As Alabama got a huge commitment from
4-star safety Laurence "Hootie" Jones,
coaches were working on other prospects. Nick
Saban and defensive coordinator Kirby
Smart were at Hoover High School, home to top cornerback target Marlon Humphrey.

(The

Saban
will be back in Tuscaloosa by Wednesday to speak at a dinner before the Super 6
high school state finals played in Bryant-Denny Stadium. The six games will be
played Thursday and Friday.

On
Sunday, Alabama will hold its annual team banquet on Sunday evening when it
will learn its postseason destination.

By
Monday,Tide linebacker C.J. Mosley
will hit the road for several days of award-related travel. He'll be in Charlotte
on Monday for the Bronko Nagurski Award ceremony. Then on Wednesday, Mosley
will be in Houston for the Lombardi Award. And the next day he'll join AJ McCarron in Orlando for the Home
Depot College Football Awards Show.

What
comes next for McCarron is still up in the air. Should he win the Unitas Golden
Arm Award, he'd be in Baltimore next Friday.

And
if he's a finalist for the Heisman Trophy, that ceremony is the next day in New
York. That won't be determined until next Monday evening.

The
postseason practice schedule will be determined once the bowl destination and
game date is known. The Tide typically starts practice in mid-December for an
early-January game.


Jordanian police have shut down a facility that was producing illegal drugs and masquerading as a factory for cleaning supplies in an industrial area in the capital, Amman.

The site was reportedly manufacturing Captagon, an amphetamine-based drug that is one of the most popular narcotics in the Middle East, including among fighters in Syria's long-running conflict.

The anti-narcotics department (AND) said on Tuesday that it had confiscated several tonnes of enough material to make more than 100 million pills.

According to the official news agency, Petra, it was the first raid of its kind in Jordan, and eight people in total were arrested.

The main suspect was arrested at the facility, after the AND had worked for months pursuing information based on a tip-off.

The AND had gathered information about the suspect whohad imported chemicals used to manufacture detergents.

In a statement, the Department of Public Relations and Information (DPS) said that the suspect had sought the help from foreign nationals to process the chemicals and extract elements to produce pills of Captagon, a psychostimulant.

On the same day, another AND team raided an apartment in Amman that was used as storage for the drugs and found two million Captagon pills there. Another suspect present at the scene was also arrested.

Six other people who had planned to smuggle the drugs outside the country were arrested elsewhere, the DPS said, and the investigation is still ongoing.

StephanThe Calgary Flames and Winnipeg Jets eventually backtracked.

The Montreal Canadiens and Edmonton Oilers, meanwhile, wound up following the Toronto Maple Leafs and Vancouver Canucks in establishing programs to help part-time arena workers affected by the NHL shutdown amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Ottawa Senators finally announced their plans Monday night.

While Canada's other NHL six teams laid out plans of varying degrees and scope to assist casual staff as the novel coronavirus outbreak continues to spread, Ottawa remained silent on an issue that garnered significant social media interest over the weekend.

A team spokesperson said Friday that a question from The Canadian Press on the subject would be forwarded to the appropriate department. A response to a subsequent message from CP stated that any information would be provided "as soon as


the Senators and the arena, also commended employees across the company for their work during the outbreak.

"Staff have continued to show grit and determination throughout this challenging time," the statement continued.

The Flames and Jets initially said they wouldn't pay part-time employees anything during the unprecedented hiatus, but eventually changed their respective tunes Sunday in the wake of heavy public criticism.

Flames players Milan Lucic, Sam Bennett and Zac Rinaldo, along with the wives of TJ Brodie and Mark Giordano, all contributed to an online fund set up by a former Scotiabank Saddledome worker before the Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation, which owns the team and operates the arena, stepped up with what it called an "income bridge support program for qualifying employees."

Canadiens players also announced Monday they are helpingarena staff financially. The team said in a statement that players will offset the difference between the measures announced by the club for employees and the compensation the employees would have otherwise received.

The Jets initially got the most heat on the issue following Truth North Sports and Entertainment executive chairman Mark Chipman's comments last week that casual workers were out of luck during the global pandemic.

"Those people are on part-time agreements," Chipman said Thursday. "They work when we work. So, regrettably, to the extent that we're not putting on shows and games, those people obviously would not have a call to work."

The Jets, who also own the American Hockey League's Manitoba Moose, doubled-down on Chipman's comments in a letter sent Saturday to part-time staff at Bell MTS Place,


but relented 24 hours later with a subsequent correspondence that said all employees impacted would be paid in full until the end of March.

Chipman concluded Sunday's email by adding Truth North "sincerely apologizes for any concern that our original position may have caused."

The Canadiens and Oilers laid out their plans Saturday following announcements from the Leafs — under the Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment banner with the NBA's Raptors and Major League Soccer's Toronto FC — and the Canucks on Friday.

The Leafs, Raptors, TFC, MLB's Blue Jays and the CFL's Argonauts have also created the "Team Toronto Fund" designed to further assist arena, stadium and support staff should they be in need of extra financial assistance due to the outbreak.

A number of professional teams south of the border,including many NHL clubs, have set up similar programs, with some NBA stars — including Giannis Antetokounmpo, Zion Williamson and Kevin Love — putting up their own money.

The NHL, NBA, MLB, MLS and CFL, along with the AHL and other professional sports organizations, have halted operations amid the widening coronavirus spread that's drastically altered daily life across North America and killed more than 6,500 people worldwide.

The Centers for Disease Control in the United States recommended Sunday that organizers cancel or postpone in-person events consisting of more than 50 people for the next eight weeks, meaning that in the best-case scenario leagues might be able to return to action is mid-May.

Canada, meanwhile, announced Monday it is closing its borders to most foreign nationals except Americans, and barring anyone, including


over the weekend.

Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group, which owns the CFL's Redblacks and 67's of the Ontario Hockey League, said it will pay workers for three postponed OHL games and any other events that were scheduled at TD Place until at least March 27.

Canucks Sports and Entertainment also announced Monday that they will be donating over 2,000 pounds of perishable food to members of the community in need through the Salvation Army and Greater Vancouver Food Bank.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 16, 2020.

The Earth's core consists mainly of a sphere of liquid iron at temperatures above 4000 degrees and pressures of more than 1.3 million atmospheres. Under these conditions, iron is as liquid as the water in the oceans. It is only at the very centre of the Earth, where pressure and temperature rise even higher, that the liquid iron solidifies. Analysis of earthquake-triggered seismic waves passing through the Earth, tells us the thickness of the solid and liquid cores,


and even how the pressure in the Earth increases with depth. However these waves do not provide information on temperature, which has an important influence on the movement of material within the liquid core and the solid mantle above. Indeed the temperature difference between the mantle and the core is the main driver of large-scale thermal movements, which together with the Earth's rotation, act like a dynamo generating the Earth's magnetic field. The temperature profile through the Earth's interior also underpins geophysical models that explain the creation and intense activity of hot-spot volcanoes like the Hawaiian Islands or La Réunion.

A man instructed his pit bull to attack police officers in Florida, but the dog turned on him, according to local reports.

Police in Riviera Beach, Florida, were investigating a burglary when they saw Avery Davis, 26, who matched their description of the suspect, according to the Palm Beach Post.

Davis was with his pit bull and was carrying hair care products. He was told by cops to lay on the ground and he complied while hugging his dog.

life. However, during the course of his following spiritual practices he became attracted to a baby deer:

"Gradually he became so absorbed in thinking of this deer that his mind became agitated. As he became more attached to the deer, his devotional service slackened. Although he was able to give up his opulent kingdom, he became attached to the deer. Thus he fell down from his mystic yoga practice. Once when the deer was absent, Maharaja Bharata was so disturbed that he began to search for it. While searching and lamenting the deer's absence, Maharaja Bharata fell down and died. Because his mind was fully absorbed thinking of the deer, he naturally took his next birth from the womb of a deer. However, because he was considerably advanced spiritually,he did not forget his past activities, even though he was in the body of a deer." (Bhag. 5.8.Intro)

After the body of the deer, he took birth as Jada Bharata. Again due to Krsna's mercy, he remembered his previous life and therefore disassociated himself from all materialistic people. Internally, he remained absorbed in chanting and remembering Krsna although externally people thought of him as a crazy, dull person. Because of his silence and indifference to society, people mistreated him but he tolerated and remained fixed in Krsna consciousness. One night he was ordered by his stepbrothers and mother to guard a paddy field. There, the followers and servants of a dacoit chief bound him with ropes and brought him to the temple of the goddess Kali to offer


him as a sacrifice. Still, Jada Bharata did not protest:

"At this time, one of the thieves, acting as the chief priest, was ready to offer the blood of Jada Bharata, whom they imagined to be an animal-man, to the goddess Kali to drink as a liquor. He therefore took up a very fearsome sword, which was very sharp and, consecrating it by the mantra of Bhadra Kali, raised it to kill Jada Bharata." (Bhag. 5.9.16)

However, goddess Kali could understand that Jada Bharata was a great devotee of the Lord and therefore, the deity's body burst asunder, and the goddess Kali personally emerged from it in a body burning with an intense and intolerable effulgence.

He became famous for his introduction of the pantomime character Pierrot at the Théâtre des Funambules.

You would have to go back at least 15 million years to find carbon dioxide levels on Earth as high as they are today, a UCLA scientist and colleagues report Oct. 8 in the online edition of the journal Science.

"The last time carbon dioxide levels were apparently as high as they are today — and were sustained at those levels — global temperatures were 5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit higher than they are today, the sea level was approximately 75 to 120 feet higher than today, there was no permanent sea ice cap in the Arctic and very little ice on Antarctica and Greenland," said the paper's lead author, Aradhna Tripati, a UCLA assistant professor in the department of Earth and space sciences and the department of atmosphericand oceanic sciences.

"Carbon dioxide is a potent greenhouse gas, and geological observations that we now have for the last 20 million years lend strong support to the idea that carbon dioxide is an important agent for driving climate change throughout Earth's history," she said.

By analyzing the chemistry of bubbles of ancient air trapped in Antarctic ice, scientists have been able to determine the composition of Earth's atmosphere going back as far as 800,000 years, and they have developed a good understanding of how carbon dioxide levels have varied in the atmosphere since that time. But there has been little agreement before this study on how to reconstruct carbon dioxide levels prior to 800,000 years ago.

Tripati, before joining UCLA's faculty, was part of a research team at England’s University


decades, said Tripati, who is also a member of UCLA's Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics. It has been known that modern-day levels of carbon dioxide are unprecedented over the last 800,000 years, but the finding that modern levels have not been reached in the last 15 million years is new.

Prior to the Industrial Revolution of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the carbon dioxide level was about 280 parts per million, Tripati said. That figure had changed very little over the previous 1,000 years. But since the Industrial Revolution, the carbon dioxide level has been rising and is likely to soar unless action is taken to reverse the trend, Tripati said.

"During the Middle Miocene (the time period approximately 14 to 20 million years ago), carbon dioxidestudy the last 20 million years in detail.

More than 50 million years ago, there were no ice sheets on Earth, and there were expanded deserts in the subtropics, Tripati noted. The planet was radically different.

Co-authors on the Science paper are Christopher Roberts, a Ph.D. student in the department of Earth sciences at the University of Cambridge, and Robert Eagle, a postdoctoral scholar in the division of geological and planetary sciences at the California Institute of Technology.

The research was funded by UCLA's Division of Physical Sciences and the United Kingdom's National Environmental Research Council.

Tripati's research focuses on the development and application of chemical tools to study climate change throughout history. She studies the evolution of climate and seawater chemistry through time.

RJS, Winchester, UK: "For a couple of years in the late 80s Neighbours was watched by in excess of 15 million viewers five evenings per week, with Home & Away not too far behind. It might explain how uptalking spread throughout the UK."

Anthony Bretherton, Epsom, UK: "The upward inflection was, I feel sure, first used by young people when Kylie Minogueand Jason Donovan were popular young stars in Neighbours in the 80s."

From what little I know of Canadian immigration patterns, Scots-Irish influence seems plausible."

7. It's a sales voice

Richard Ely, Alfreton, UK: "I was introduced to uptalk as a sales technique - finish your sentence on achild and picked up the cadence in their speech."

Liberman: "There are many language varieties around the world that use... final rising intonations. This is true of French, for example... and in Malayalam, a Dravidian language of South India. Final rises on non-paragraph-final phrases are normal in French. But it seems unlikely that this has anything to do with the final rises in urban northern British or Scots or Belfast English, any more than the rising accents in Malayalam are connected to either of them."

9. It really is from the American Valley Girls

Elizabeth Parker: "Most of the kids I taught for the past year (in a landlocked rural West Midlands county with a perfectly acceptable accent of its own) tried to talk like this. It irritated the

10. It's Bristolian

KLS Dennis: "In the 1950s and 60s, I spent a lot of time with cousins from Bristol whose dialectic intonation was so strong, it took relentless concentration on my part to understand them. My 'home counties' speech amused them too. While their dialect was strong, their grammar was sound and they were sufficiently aware of their intonation to refer to it as the 'risin' Brizzol intonation'. They explained that it was commonly assumed to have begun with the late 18th Century Bristolian sailors, who, aware of the strength and complexity of their dialect when talking to folk abroad, or even in other parts of Britain, turned every statement into a question to ensure the listener wasHand a girl a camera and the sexist media industry can start looking for the exit

Being critical towards media messages is vital, but at some point, we need to actually produce new material for when (not if) the sexist TV shows, movies, and commercials finally dissolve. This is the rocking attitude behind Camp Reel Stories.

The camp’s main goal is to get the girls produce a film by the end of the week, but it also includes a media literacy workshop. Photo: Lauren Crew

The present invention relates generally to the field of child support and restraint devices, and more particularly to a novel child support device designed to safely hold an infant child within a shopping cart child seat and to restrain the child from falling forward or to the side inside the cart seat, and from teething on the handle or other parts of the shopping cart.
The rear of a typical grocery shopping cart includes a section hinged at the bottom rear of the cart basket which can swing out to form a "mini-basket" open at the top. This mini-basket is used either as a convenient storage area for small items, or as a seat for a small child. The child sits in the mini-basket facing the rear of thecart with his or her legs extending through two openings formed by the purposely wide placement of several of the metal or plastic ribs forming the rear wall of the shopping cart.
The relatively large size and open design of a typical shopping cart child's seat makes it too easy for an active infant to fall forward or to the side within the seat causing injury. Older infants and toddlers can even climb or fall out of the cart. In addition, the child will frequently lean forward and teethe on the unsanitary handle or other parts of the shopping cart.
A recent six year study by the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission of injuries to children from shopping cart accidents showed 53,403 reported injuries requiring emergency room treatment, of which

Local Hazard Warnings

There are many hazards present in the SLRD. Some of these hazards are serious enough to have been studied by researchers. Where hazard conditions exist, and where the SLRD has been advised to do so by experts, local hazard warnings are published.

Currently, there are three local hazard warnings in effect, all found in Electoral Area C:

Located in southwestern BC, the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District is a local government federation delivering a range of regional, sub-regional and local services to approximately 42,665 residents living in four member municipalities (Lillooet, Pemberton, Whistler, Squamish) and four unincorporated electoral areas (A, B, C, D).


Ray, a gay political activist, has based her career on.

"Sure, I do write songs about love and the human experience, but I grew up listening to hippie music that my parents had around," she said. "And when I was growing up, I listened to a lot of Clash and Patti Smith. And they touched me with their political lyrics and got me thinking about doing the same thing  addressing issues in song."

As for the new CD, Ray said she knew what she wanted the CD to be like but didn't know how to get there. But she knew she wanted to work with drummer Melissa York, who used to be with the band the Butchies.

Ray contacted York, and they started talking about the songs. During those talks,York told Ray she wanted to work with producer Greg Griffith, who had produced for the Butchies in the past.

"Greg is amazing," said Ray. "He is everything music. And he played bass for the CD. It was funny because at the time I was of two minds. I didn't want to answer to a producer, but Greg made himself important to the process."

Other artists Ray recruited for the sessions included York's bandmate and guitarist Kaia Wilson, singer/songwriter Brandi Carlile, Three5Human guitarist Tomi Martin and the band Arizona.

"It took about 10 months to do the album, and we worked the songs to the bone," said Ray. "And I'm looking forward to what people think."

Jasser Zohdi is a Muslim of Syrian origin whose parents immigrated to the United States in the early 1960s.

Jassir Zohdi is the founder of The American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD). He claims that the objective of his foundation is to advocate the preservation of the founding principles of the United States constitution, liberty and freedom. Jasser is leading the fight to shake the hold that the Muslim Brotherhood and their network of American Islamist organizations and mosques have on organized Islam in America. The man is seriously concerned with political Islam as if the Muslims are a political movement that is about to devour the world. He regularly briefs members of the House and Senate congressional anti-terror committee on the threat of political Islam.

Jasser allies himself witha bad example of American Muslims in the United States.

Jasser is so blind as not to see the abyss he is falling into. His sponsors are financing his foundation and in return he is executing their plan which is directed to attack Islam by depriving Muslims from living according to the principles of their Islamic law. The man is so patriotic as to care for the preservation of the principles of the American constitution, but to Hell with the principles of the Islamic Law which he and his sponsors think that it threatens the security and peace of the American society.

Muslims living in foreign countries respect their own values and in the mean time submit to the law of the host country. Muslims in America live willingly under


the American constitution, but at the same time we must not neglect the fact that some important aspects of a Muslim life should be dealt with according to the Islamic Law, such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, women and men rights in Islam, custody, guardianship, Halal food, commercial transactions devoid of usury and so forth. As for capital punishment, Muslims submit completely to the articles of the American constitution concerned. They don’t use the Islamic capital punishment in the host country at all.

Muslims in the United States and Europe have the right to live in piety according to their own law. In the west Muslims are surrounded by all sorts of temptation and dissipation. To mention just a few: sex outside marriage, fornication, gambling, pornography, nakedness, severed family ties,the reason behind all the mischief the Muslim world is suffering from.

The neoconservatives since the time of Ronald Regan until Bush the son, were the architect of the Iraqi war. They were able at the time of Bush to convince him to invade Iraq and also Afghanistan. To mention few names: Paul Wolfowitz, Richard pearl, and Douglas Feith.

After September 11, the conservative Protestant Christian leaders instead of showing their disapproval at the events of the World Trade Center, they impudently attacked Islam as a religion, belied the Koran and slandered the Prophet. Their ugly words are registered and documented. To mention few names: Pat Robertson, the deceased Jerry Falwell, Jimmy Swaggart and Franklin Graham. Even two months before the events of September 11, the priest Peter Ruckman attacked


protest and another volte-face – this time an endorsement of Israel’s policy of selective assassination – a policy that violates the Geneva Conventions and which the U.S. was alone in supporting in the UN Security council.

In Congress, more than a hundred members of the Religious Right are active Christian Zionists. They oppose final status peace negotiations with the Palestinians, and dismissed the Road Map process.

Under the influence of the Israelis and the Christian Right Bush has acquiesced in the building of the Israel security wall that divides the West Bank, and he has given the green light for the steady expansion of Jewish settlements there that make a peace agreement less likely every day.

Many in the Muslim world wondered about the extent to which the Bush administration wasand Tea Party candidate, Newt Gingrich, in order to beg for the Jewish votes announced that the Palestinians are an invented people. He also called them terrorists.

In all these ceaseless battles against Islam Jasser Zohdi hadn’t participated in any of them. He just sided with the groups and sects attacking the religion of Islam and its Prophet. He even made several appearances on Fox News where he frequently bashed the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and any other group or individual whom “the network” has identified as suspect.

The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) is the rock which defends Muslims and their rights in America. Since its establishment in 1994 has worked to promote a positive image of Islam and Muslims in America. Through media relations, government

Bay Area man arrested in 1989 cold-case slaying of 27-year-old woman found by hikers in ravine

An unsolved homicide from 25 years ago in San Mateo County in which a woman was sexually assaulted then killed on San Bruno Mountain has been solved, authorities announced Thursday.

Sheriff’s officials said they arrested Gabriel Rey O'Neill, 45, in connection with the slaying of Sheila Lorraine Hatcher, 27, in 1989. After the initial investigation faltered the case went cold until last year, when Hatcher's family asked detectives to reexamine it.

Hatcher's body was found in a ravine by two hikers, but detectives were unable to link any suspects to the crime. The coroner's office concluded that she had been sexually assaulted and died of blunt force trauma.

Detectives resubmitted some of the crime scene evidencefor forensics testing and hit a match in O'Neill, a registered sex offender, authorities said.

On Monday sheriff's deputies spotted O'Neill driving near his Bay Area home in Brisbane and arrested him. He was being held without bail on suspicion of murder.

'Blade Runner 2049': Piecing Together a Future Past

With director Denis Villeneuve's highly-anticipated sequel to 1982's neo-noir sci-fi classic Blade Runner releasing next week, the director, in collaboration with a duo of dynamic filmmakers, has been dropping a fantastic slew of cinematic breadcrumbs leading up to his film for the past month and a half. Culminating in a trio of short films -- two directed by Ridley Scott's son, Luke Scott, the last by anime filmmaker Shinichiro Watanabe -- the three films work to detail the dramatic events that occurred between the 1982 film and the newest installment by Villeneuve. Uncovering the newest characters to join the sequel as well, from Jared Leto's enigmatic manufacturer Niander Wallace to Dave Bautista's replicant fugitive Sapper, the short films have given audiencespost-apocalyptic Los Angeles, they also hint at a number of mysterious elements that aim to tie the 1982 film to the sequel. From the evolution of replicant technology after the fall of the Tyrell Corporation to the whereabouts of Deckard, the trailers for the film have done a phenomenal job at leaving plenty of questions for the sequel to answer.

Some questions, however, have been left in the hands a duo of directors, Luke Scott and Shinichiro Watanabe, who have taken it upon themselves to detail some of the cryptic events leading up to the year 2049. In the first feature, titled 2036: Nexus Dawn, Luke Scott aimed to reveal just a layer of one of the newest characters joining the Blade Runner timeline. Offering a peek at Jared


Leto's manipulative manufacturer Niander Wallace, as he pitches a new model of replicant technology in light of a recent prohibition of the androids, Nexus Dawn delivers a hint at how Wallace comes to be such a major player in the new film. While we might not yet know why the android technology present in the first film has now been banned, the short film offers insight into not only who Leto's antagonist will be in the sequel, but also how much of an impact replicant production has had on the world since the 1982 film.

In a second feature by Scott, titled 2048: Nowhere to Run, actor Dave Bautista takes the spotlight as a replicant fugitive named Sapper Morton. One of the earlier models of replicants predating Wallace's Nexus-9model, Bautista's reclusive android seems to be at the heart of the hunt for replicant-kind following the first Blade Runner. While this short might not offer much in terms of exposition as Scott's first feature did, it does clue audiences in on what role the Guardians of the Galaxy actor will play in the sequel. Hinted at in the first seconds of the short, 2049 leading-man Ryan Gosling could be the connection between Sapper and the film's central plot, as we see Gosling's LAPD officer investigating into outdated replicants in the area.

The third and final feature, crafted by acclaimed anime director Shinichiro Watanabe, provides probably the best insight into the detrimental events that occurred following Blade Runner. Spinning the narrative of a rogue replicant known as Iggy who


arranges a coup to send a massive electromagnetic pulse over 2022 Los Angeles, Watanabe's Blade Runner: Black Out 2022 depicts the pivotal moment when registered replicants, targets of humankind, gained their freedom and anonymity. Pitching much of the world into "a darkness they've never known before", the events set in motion in 2022 bleed into much of what is seen in the first two shorts. With replicant technology becoming an increasingly greater threat to mankind than before, and the Tyrell Corporation falling into obscurity, the events to unfold in Blade Runner 2049 see a new age of replicants coming to light, and the question of how the android bounty hunters known as Blade Runners figure into the future of humanity.

With the three short films by Luke Scott andShinichiro Watanabe giving proper insight into some of the newest characters and pivotal events that crop up after Blade Runner, the follow-up that finds Ryan Gosling's new Blade Runner seeking the aid of Ford's Rick Deckard still manages to retain a great sense of mystery concerning its plot. Effectively teasing a deeper layer to Ridley Scott's original film that aims to expand across the silver screen next month, the unique method of marketing for Blade Runner 2049 gives audiences adequate exposure to the new film without ultimately giving away the film's greater mystery. Showing a further passion for the Philip K. Dick's original source material as well, from the retrofitted future he created in his 1968 novel to the philosophical potential of humanity and beyond, the intricate puzzle

Sam Byram looked like a Barclays Premier League veteran as he helped West Ham United to a thrilling 2-2 draw with Manchester City

A week ago, Sam Byram was helping Leeds United to a 2-0 FA Cup third round win over Rotherham United.

Eight days later, the 22-year-old was thrown into the intensity of a Barclays Premier League clash between West Ham United and Manchester City, played in front of 35,000 noisy fans under the Boleyn Ground floodlights and a worldwide television audience.

Byram opened up against £54m man Kevin Bruyne, keeping the Belgian at arm’s length before he was replaced by £60m England international Raheem Sterling, who got nowhere against the former Leeds star.

You would not have guessed it, as Byram emerged from the substitutes’ bench to produce a performancethe two will interact in the coming weeks and months.

This year's show was held on August 16 and 17, postponed from June 20 and 21, in the field behind Spotsylvania
Middle School, Spotsylvania Courthouse. We had about 370 paid admission attendees and approximately 600 in total attendance
including children and exhibitors. Net proceeds were approximately $2500, including a donation to the Sheriffs Department
to help buy a second Barrel Train Ride.

We had over 60 tractors on display. Six craft vendors and merchants participated, all from the local areas,
and four groups had information displays. Saturday entertainment was "The New Girls Night Out" Bluegrass Band from Lake Anna
area. Sunday it was "Southern Rain" from Partlow. Ten different business donated cash or items to offset the cost of entertainment
and advertising.

Overall, the amount of equipment displayed and the attendance was only about 60% ofraffle that was valued
over $550!

SPFI assisted with the concession stand providing the
players with drinks and snacks. SBEA would like to thank all the sponsors,
SPFI, and members for providing support with a great fundraiser! SBEA raised over $1700 for preservation efforts in Spotsylvania
County.

On June 22 & 23, 2002, SBEA sponsored the 2nd Annual Antique Tractor and Equipment show at Spotsylvania
Middle School on Courthouse Road.

Spotsylvania area collectors brought over 100 tractors for display at the show, plus there were collections
of old chain saws, garden tractors and other equipment. Most of the tractors were from the 1930's and 1940s. They gave
off the proud glow of loving restoration with their bright shiny paint. The earliest example on display was Dick Stephens'
1927 Ford Model T panel truck, converted to a tractor during the


achievements as a collector and restorer, and his help, not only
to this show but to many other "old tractor" fans, SBEA established the "Tommy Jett Award for Excellence in Tractor Restoration".
At each year's show, a restored tractor that epitomizes a "restoration to original condition" will receive this award. This
tractor and its owner will be entered on a plaque representing "The Spotsylvania Antique Tractor Hall of Fame". The
plaque will be displayed at the Snow Library on Courthouse Road. It is only fitting that the first tractor to
be listed on this plaque is the 1959 John Deere 730 restored by Tommy Jett himself. This year's winner went to Bobby
Seay for his 1940 Farmall H.

First Confederate Monument Dedicated at
Spotsylvania

The first monument to commemorate Confederate soldiers engaged at Spotsylvania Court House was dedicated
on Sunday, November 11, 2001.

Placed on a ridge near the McCoull house site and a secondary trench line, the monument honors the men of

With each of these ironers, the cup-shaped blanks are placed one at a time in front of the punch in a retracted position. By moving the punch forward in this state, a cup-shaped blank placed as above is pushed at first into the redrawing die and then through the ironing dies and formed into an ironed can body. The ironed can body thus formed is stripped from the punch by the stripper on the way of a backward stroke of the punch, so that the stripped can body drops into a predetermined position and discharged.

That is to say, Herndon and her husband had a handful of "chugfests" in their kitchen to determine that New Belgium Fat Tire would be her beer of choice in the Beer Mile.

And on Dec. 3, 2014, Herndon combined her natural chugging abilities with her speedy running skills to set a world record in the Beer Mile Championships, completing the event in 6 minutes, 17.8 seconds. She broke the previous world record


by 10.84 seconds.

The Beer Mile is so eloquently and simply described on beermile.com as:

"Drink a beer, run a quarter mile.

Drink a beer, run a quarter mile.

Drink a beer, run a quarter mile.

Drink a beer, run a quarter mile.

Four beers, one mile."

"It's kind of an underground event, but it's pretty popular," Herndon said.

Herndon always has been a fast runner. She competed in 5 and 10Ks at Washington University in St Louis. She has a personal-best of 5:03 in the mile. She continued her distance-running career through grad school, and now as a professor at Kent State, where she has continued to run a few half-marathons and marathons each year and trains with Cleveland Elite Development.

And a few times, she even attempted the "beer mile" with some friends. It wasall for fun, but Herndon discovered something remarkable: she was really good at it.

"I think a lot of it is natural ability," Herndon said.

She was referring to the chugging aspect of the beer mile, of course.

It took some trial and error to discover which beer worked best for Herndon, however. Her first beer mile, she drank Yuengling. Then, she tried Molson and Blue Moon.

"That was pretty bad," she admitted.

The third time she attempted a beer mile, she drank PBR.

"Which is also pretty bad," she said.

Still, Herndon ran a beer mile in 6:48 - good enough to rank as the fourth-best time among women on beermile.com.

Which is why when the first Flotrack Beer Mile Championships were held in Austin, Texas, in December, Herndon qualified to run in the elite


the first off the line (after chugging her first beer, of course). She never dropped out of the top four spots, and in the final lap, she not only chugged quickly, but ran pretty speedily, too.

"The woman who came in second was a really good chugger, but she wasn't as fast as me," Herndon explained. "The next two people who came in, they were faster, but they had a really hard time chugging their last beer, so I think it took them a long time to finish that."

Herndon? She was the total package - chugger and runner in one.

Her efforts garnered $5,000 in prize money, the glory of being the Beer Mile Champion of the World - and unofficially the coolest professor at Kent State.

"It's pretty awesome," sheG20 death Pc faces gross misconduct disciplinary action Published duration 27 July 2010

The officer who struck Ian Tomlinson before his death at the G20 protests will face disciplinary proceedings for alleged gross misconduct.

Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson informed the Home Affairs Committee on Tuesday morning.

He said the force should move "swiftly with proceedings".

In a statement, Mr Tomlinson's family said there was an "overwhelming argument" for the proceedings to be held in public.

Last week, the director of public prosecutions said there would be no criminal proceedings over Mr Tomlinson's death.

Pc Simon Harwood, a member of Scotland Yard's territorial support group, was filmed striking the 47-year-old newspaper seller with his baton and pushing


him to the ground in the City of London on 1 April 2009.

Sir Paul told a meeting of the Commons Home Affairs Committee he was "disturbed" by the amateur video footage showing the incident.

"I do fully understand the Tomlinson family and public sense of anger having seen the video of the incident prior to the death of Ian Tomlinson," he said.

"I can confirm that the officer has been notified that a decision has been made to bring disciplinary proceedings for gross misconduct."

A statement from Mr Tomlinson's family said: "There is an overwhelming argument in this case that the proceedings should be held in public.

"The family will be looking carefully at what the charges are, the timing of proceedings and whether they are open to the public."

The trend of Nintendo EAD developers expressing their desires to create new and unique experiences rages on this time with The Legend of Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma revealing further information about the series. While Aonuma has previously revealed to us his plans and hopes for the new upcoming high-definition The Legend of Zelda game not too long ago, now, with The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD for the Wii U and The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds for the 3DS nearing their completion, his attention has begun to shift back to the newest Zelda project on Wii U that he hopes he\’ll be able to completely reimagine. Here are some of the remarks made by Aonuma through an interpreter during his interview withno concrete evidence to support the idea that Atlantis Civilizations really existed outside Plato’s allegory. But there are other cities that have had the fate of Atlantis, as the Greek philosopher presents us, namely cities swallowed by the waters. Pavlopetri was a pre-classical Greek town, founded in the Stone Age. The fact that the city came under the waters provided archaeologists with unique information about their lives at that time. Other sites were partially destroyed by further construction, but Pavlopetri remained uncontaminated. Perhaps the city has gotten under the water as a result of rising water levels and earthquakes.

“The Palace of the Rock,” Colorado

The Pueblo Civilization, from the southwestern United States of America, take their name from the villages (pueblos in Spanish) that they build. Communities pueblo exist


today, but one of the most fruitful epochs in the history of this community is that of the ancient Anasazi society from the years 900-1200. The rock palace was built in this golden age of the Anasazi tribe.

According to dendrochronological analyzes, most of the buildings in this site were built around 1200. The site was inhabited only for a short period of time and was abandoned until 1300, remaining hidden until it was rediscovered in 1888. Looking for lost cattle, Richar Wetherill, Charles Mason, and an American from the Ute tribe found the old buildings protected by a rock wall. There is no reason why the site was abandoned, but the theory accepted by most specialists is that the first of the major droughts that affected the Americancontinent in the centuries before the arrival of the Europeans destroyed agriculture throughout the region and the populations had to move.

Civilizations Akrotiri, Santorini

Minoan civilization in Crete owes its name to the legendary King Minos, who built the famous labyrinth. Written sources are very few, so we do not know what the name they had adopted for themselves. The whole civilization disappears from the knowledge of the people until the beginning of the 20th century. With the rediscovery of the great palace of Knossos, the glory of Minoan civilization reborn.

Although Knossos is a lost city, there is another, as interesting: Akrotiri, on the island of Santorini, was an outpost of the Cretans. Today it is believed that the eruption of the volcano Thera, on the same island, in 1600


BC would have led to the collapse of the Minoan empire. The discovery of the Akrotiri Fortress in 1967 revealed very well-presented frescoes, three-storey houses and a well-organized settlement. The water supply system suggests that the inhabitants of the fortress had access to both cold water and hot water, with the warm water being provided by the volcano that caused them to perish.

Tikal, Guatemala

The Mayan city of Tikal was once the capital of a Mayan kingdom and one of the largest cities in the New World. The site was inhabited between the years 200-900. Due to the exceptional conservation status of the city, today we know many things about the grandeur of Tikal in the years of its peak. Like other New World ruins, this site is thoughtto have been suddenly abandoned mysteriously, but research has shown that the land could not have accommodated a large number of people who were known to live there anyway. It seems that the city has been gradually abandoned for many years, being abandoned to the jungle. However, some locals would have known of its existence: over the centuries there have been many rumours about a lost city. The first organized expedition found the city in 1848. The explorers came across the largest of New World’s archaeological sites, with pyramids of 70 meters high here, royal palaces and show arenas.

Timgad, Algeria

Timgad, or – for Latinists – Colonia Marciana Ulpia Traiana Thamugadi, is, by excellence, the lost city of the adventure novels. Once an effervescent city, founded in the desert


at the orders of Emperor Trajan, Timgad survived the collapse of the Roman Empire and became an important commercial point.

After being betrayed in the 5th century, he reborn as a Christian centre. A second big robbery took place in the 7th century, the vandals’ opera, and this led to the city’s definitive abandonment. Over time, the sand of the Sahara desert has covered the city and contributed to preserving the city. It was rediscovered in 1881.

Today, the ruins of Timgad offer an astonishing view of the Roman cities of the African provinces. Trajan’s Arch, typical Roman baths and the Temple of Jupiter can be seen today. The temple is as large as the Pantheon in Rome, and this is proof of the importance that the Romans gave toTimgad.

Machu Picchu Civilizations, Peru

No list of lost cities would be complete without Machu Picchu. This old Inca city, located on top of the Andes, has been inhabited for a relatively short period of time, probably between 1450-1572, before being abandoned as a result of the Spanish conquest. How Spaniards have never found the city and the natives did not reveal the secret of the Incas, Machu Picchu was known to the West until the twentieth century. American archaeologist Hiram Bingham is the first foreigner to come here until 1911. There are still debates about city functions – if it was a good fit, a royal city or a religious sanctuary. Today it is very easy to get to Machu Picchu, with a regular bus line leading tourists to


destruction of the city at least six times. Every time, new cities were built directly over the ruins of the old ones. The cause of the definitive abandonment of the city – about 1800 BC – is unknown. Mohenjo-Daro was rediscovered only in 1922.

Petra Civilizations, Jordan

The inclusion of Petra in this list can be considered controversial since we can not say that it was indeed lost. It has been abandoned, that’s for sure, but it is likely that the locals knew of its existence. In any case, the city of Petra has been unknown to the West for at least 1000 years. Pliny the Elder mentions Petra as being taken over by Romans in the year 103. The desert city flourished until an earthquake destroyed the vital watersupply system.

With other nearby towns, it was easier for the population to move than to begin reconstructing the destroyed ones. Since then, the site has been left to the desert, attracting only adventure travellers or grave thieves. Today, the city of Petra is one of the most important archaeological sites in the Middle East. Half-built and half-dug in stone, Petra is certainly one of the architectural wonders of Antiquity.

Troia, Turkey

“Sing to me, goddess, the wrath that ignited Achilles Peleus” … so begins Homer’s Iliad, one of the fundamental texts of Western civilization. For a long time, it has been thought that Troy is a legendary city, like Atlantis. Then, in 1871, a self-taught classicist, Heinrich Schliemann, financed excavations on the site of a mound in Hisarlık, Turkey. There


– where antiquity was a city called Ilium, after the Iliad – the archaeologists found huge defensive walls similar to those described by Homer.

Besides the walls of Troy, Schliemann also found gold jewellery that he presented as the jewels of Elena. The treasure, known as the Priam Treasure, was considered lost after disappearing from Berlin in 1945, but it was known that it had come into the hands of the Soviets. They “seized” the treasure as compensation for the destruction caused by the USSR by Germany during the Second World War.

Research has revealed that the city was founded close to 3000 BC. and that it was destroyed several times. After each destruction, it was built directly on ruins. There is a debate about which of these layers belongsperfect world of white marble, but Pompey brings to light a city with many features that we recognize today. There are even political slogans on the walls: “Vote for Lucius Popidius Sabinus.” The city became a real goldmine for archaeologists in the 20th century and is an important tourist attraction.

Endurance,
The 2004 Isle of Man TT

McGuinness
and Ansty dominate on
the twisty Isle of Mann roads at 125mph average!
Preview Isleof Man TT FestivalIsle of Mann, GB, June 5th - 8th: Adrian
Archibald enjoyed the taste of the victor's champagne twice
last year, taking the honours in both the TT Formula One
and Senior events, and as he prepares for the upcoming Isle
of Man TT Racing Festival the 34 year old Ulsterman is hungry
for more. However, he faces a tough challenge to his supremacy
in a hectic week of race action in which he finds himself
pitting both speed and tactics with Ian Lougher, Honda,
six times a winner over the 60.72Km Mountain Course which
provides a unique challenge, likened by one former winner
as the "Everest of Motorcycle racing."

The
course provides a high speed dash around the picturesque
Island, always on public roads, through towns and villages
and over the heights of the Snaefel Mountain, with riders
reaching around


from the challenge of Archibald,
who came within a couple of seconds of breaking the outright
lap record of 204.85Km/ph, he faces a real threat from the
two Yamaha riders John McGuinness and Jason Griffiths. Adding
to the action will be the Kawasakis in the hands of Shaun
Harris and Ryan Farquhar.

That
race could set the standard for the week, with the Archibald
Lougher private duel extending across each of the major
races. They clash again in Monday's Production Formula One,
run over three laps, with Honda, who have a long, pedigree
of successes on the Island, stretching to over a century
of victories in some 40 years of competition, having their
efforts re-inforced by Shaun Harris, the winner of the race
last year, riding a Fireblade.

Bruce
Anstey, the winner of the Junior race, for 600 Supersport
machines, aboard a Triumph Daytona isback for more, in
Wednesday's race, but this time, the Kiwi is riding Suzuki,
as team-mate to Archibald, and that could present additional
problems for Lougher, who rides a Honda CBR600RR, in what
usually is closely fought affair. McGuinness and Griffiths
again will be in the equation, while Richard Britton, riding
Honda, is more than capable of springing a surprise result.

And,
in Friday's three lap Production 600TT there is the promise
of more of the same, prior to the rider's concentrating
their efforts into the climax of the whole week, the 'blue-riband'
Senior TT, over four demanding laps. Archibald wants an
action replay of his victory. Lougher, third then, and Honda
want to get ahead of him, while McGuinness and Grifftihs
again pose real threats.

By
then McGuinness is hoping to have repeated his success of
last year in the Lightweight 400TT in which


he is riding
Honda. Chris Palmer, who has made the Island his adopted
home, is keen to take the 125 Ultra-lightweight TT honours
for a second successive year, again riding Honda RS125R.

And,
Sidecar racing has played a key part in the history of the
TT races, which stretches back to 1907. The 'chairs' have
two races, on the opening Saturday and then on Wednesday
with the local favourite, Honda powered, Dave Molyneux,
passengered by Daniel Sayle, aiming to add to his eight
race victories on the Island.
The timetable for the 2004 Isle of Man TT Racing Festival
is:

Day
One Isle of Man
Isle of Man TT Festival, Saturday 5 june, Isle of ManJohn
McGuinness riding a Yamaha R1 achieved his ambition of winning
a 'big-bike' race in the Isle of Man TT racing festival
as he romped to victory in the opener tothis year's event,
the TT Formula One race, decided over four laps of the 37.73
mile Mountain Course.

The
Lancastrian took the victory in style, putting together
a hard-riding determined performance to dictate terms throughout
as he comfortably headed off the challenge of last year's
race winner Adrian Archibald.
McGuinness took his fourth victory on the Island in lap
and race record speeds, in each bettering the performance
of the late David Jefferies, who sustained fatal injuries
in a crash during practice for last year's event. The Yorkshireman
was also the previous Yamaha rider, back in 1999, to win
the TT F1 ace and McGuinness reflected on that as he savoured
his own triumph. "That result was for DJ"

The
race was well on the way to being decided on the opening
lap.McGuinness who had shattered the record in practice
had even better as the race


developed. He piled the pressure
on his rivals with an astonishing burst of speed and power,
charging around the Island's public roads and over Snaefell
in a time of 17m 43.8s, an average speed of 127.68mph -
faster than anyone else had achieved in the history of the
event which stretches back to 1907.

"I
decided to get out there and go as hard as I could, put
in a really fast first lap and give them all something to
think about, and that paid dividends." McGuinness was
ten seconds clear of the rest, and he had doubled that advantage
as he pitted at half distance for fuel. Archibald had moved
into second place, at the expense of his TAS Suzuki team-mate
Bruce Anstey.

McGuinness
maintained the pace in the second half of the race, taking
the victory by 18.6 seconds: "Marvellous, just fantastic
-home, I didn't think I would make
it," he smiled as he headed off the threat of Nick
Crowe-Darran Hope, also Honda powered, with Steve Norbury
and Scott Parnell third.

Day Two Isle of ManJune
7th
- John McGuinness and Chris Palmer were the winners for
Honda on the second weather ravaged race day of this year's
Isle of Man TT Racing Festival, and both could reflect on
victories at record pace that puts them into the record
books. They won the final races for 400cc and 125cc machines
to be held in the event as the organisers have revamped
the programme for future years with more emphasis being
put onto production machines. McGuinness shrugged aside
the frustrations of a two hour delay to racing as mist rolled
across parts of the 37.73 mile Mountain Course to provide
another hard-charging front running performance as


he went
all out from the start aboard his 400ccHonda to take an
action replay of his victory in the corresponding race of
last year.

He
was always in charge, using the same tactics that sped him
to victory, and a winner's cheque of £20,000, in the
opening four lap F1 race. "I decided again to get my
head down and go for it from the start - it worked on Saturday,
and it did again in this race." By
the end of the opening lap, he was 16 seconds up, and had
doubled that advantage by the time he pitted at half-distance
for fuel - it was then he had his only uncomfortable moment:
"they didn't screw the cap down fully and some petrol
splashed on me in a rather delicate area, but I sorted that
out."

If
he was inconvenienced, it hardly showedas he powered relentlessly
on, and at three quarters distance was running some 44 second
ahead of Yamaha rider Steve Linsdell, easing off on the
final dash over the mountain to take the victory, his fifth
on the Island, by 33 seconds. "That was fun - really
enjoyable. That is a magic little bike," smiled McGuinness
as he earned another £4000 in prize money. Mark Parrett,
riding Honda, finished fourth just ahead of Roy Richardson,
who at one point had been up in second place on his Honda.

Chris
Palmer, the Cumbrian rider who has made the Island his home,
delighted the locals as he completed his second successive
victory in the 125cc Ultra-lightweight race. He was always
in contention, running six seconds down on Ian Lougher,
also riding Honda, as they pitted at half-distance.

The
race swung on the pit-stop. Palmer was out
